WASHINGTON (AP) — A North Carolina man on Friday became the second member of the extremist group Proud Boys to plead guilty to conspiring with other group members to stop Congress from formally certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
Charles Donohoe, 34, pleaded guilty during an appearance in federal court in Washington to charges of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting or impeding federal officers. His plea agreement includes a provision to cooperate in the ongoing Justice Department cases against other Proud Boys members.
Federal sentencing guidelines call for a prison term of about six to seven years, although terms of his sentence will be up to a federal judge.
The indictment against Donohoe and other members of extremist groups, such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, have been a focus of the Justice Department’s sprawling investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. Donohoe — who had been president of a local Proud Boys chapter in North Carolina — has close ties to the group’s leader, Enrique Tarrio.
More than three dozen people charged in the Capitol siege have been identified by federal authorities as Proud Boys leaders, members or associates.
Tarrio pleaded not guilty this week to charges that he remotely led a plot to stop Congress’ certification of Biden’s 2020 victory in the presidential election. Though he wasn’t at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, prosecutors say Tarrio organized encrypted chats with Proud Boys members in the weeks before the attack, had a 42-second phone call with another member of the group in the building during the insurrection and took credit for the chaos at the Capitol.
A New York man, Matthew Greene, became the first Proud Boys member to plead guilty to conspiracy in December. He agreed to cooperate with authorities as part of a plea agreement.
On the morning of Jan. 6, Proud Boys members met at the Washington Monument and marched to the Capitol before President Donald Trump finished addressing thousands of supporters near the White House.
Around two hours later, just before Congress convened a joint session to certify the election results, a group of Proud Boys followed a crowd of people who breached barriers at a pedestrian entrance to the Capitol grounds, according to one of the indictments. Several Proud Boys also entered the Capitol itself after the mob smashed windows and forced open doors, the indictment says.
Since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 775 people have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, officials said.

When Premier Racing rolls off the trailer and onto the streets of Long Beach for the second weekend of the Porsche Carrera Cup North America Presented by the Cayman Islands season on Friday, the Las Vegas-based team knows it will be no day at the beach. The 1.968-mile, 11-turn temporary course twists and turns over the local roads of Long Beach, California – each corner outlined by cement walls – making it one of the most challenging courses the team will face all season. The task at hand for third-year driver Adam Adelson and team leader Kent Moore is enough to weaken the knees. However, Premier Racing is approaching the two, 40-minute races for the top level of Porsche one-make racing with an eye on detail. Practice and qualifying will take place Friday, April 8. Adelson will wheel the No. 24 Premier Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car in Round 3 of the season on Saturday, April 9, and Round 4, Sunday, April 10.
Adelson, a graduate of the University of Southern California who lives and works in the Los Angeles-area, will be making his first Long Beach start this weekend. The magnitude of the legendary event is close to the heart for the performance-minded driver with an engineering degree. Like most young drivers, Adelson is eager to test his mettle against the track made famous by the greats of the sport.
At a track where millimeters make the difference between victory lane and an early exit, every detail is critical. With limited track time, getting those details right from the start is the key to success. As it is at each of the eight Porsche Carrera Cup North America weekends, track time is at a premium. Adelson will only have a 45-minute practice session on Friday morning (7:45 a.m. PT) and second, 30-minute session later that morning (11:05 a.m. PT) to prepare for a split qualifying session which will see the Pro class driver pilot the 500-horsepower Porsche in the final half of the 30-minute time trial that starts at 4:30 p.m. PT. The tight confines of the track make passing difficult, magnify the importance of qualifying in a series where each car is separated only by the talent of the driver and the crew.
Qualifying will not only grid the cars for the green flag at 10:45 a.m. PT (1:45 p.m. ET) on Saturday, but it could determine the starting position for Sunday’s 4:20 p.m. PT (7:20 pm. ET) race as well. The field for Race 2 is based on the second-fastest qualifying lap or, if quicker, the fastest lap by a driver in Race 1.
Live timing and scoring of all sessions as well as streaming of both races can be found at www.PorscheCarreraCup.us . The races also air live on the Peacock Streaming App.
Adam Adelson, No. 24 Premier Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup |
“The fact that Porsche Carrera Cup North America is racing at Long Beach this year is extremely special for me. I've lived in Los Angeles since 2015 and having grown up only a couple hundred miles away, I always came to LA several times a year as a kid, so LA really does feel like a second home to me. To be able to race so close to all of my friends and family is a privilege, and I'm lucky enough to have many of them coming out this weekend to support myself and the team. While I'm incredibly grateful to be able to race so close to home, I'm equally as grateful that it's this particular street circuit. The history here is incredibly rich in the sports car racing world and I feel privileged to have the honor of racing on it, especially in a car as great as the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
With such a huge grid in PCCNA on such a tight and unforgiving circuit, we know qualifying is going to be more important than ever. I feel confident going into this one, and I'm excited to see what we can achieve out there."
Kent Moore, No. 24 Premier Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup |
“Porsche has given us a great car for Long Beach, but it is the same car they sold to 33 other drivers too. That is where we make up the difference as a team. We are here to give Adam the car and the confidence to thread the needle between the concrete out there. After watching this group come together as a team in Florida, after watching Adam gain on it in big chunks at Sebring, I am very confident going into Long Beach. It won’t be easy. Someone else’s mistake on street course can reach out and bite you, we know that firsthand. But that is why, when you get it right and everything clicks, you know you have done something special.”

Nathan Albert Levine, 37, of Mahaffey, who is accused of breaking into a garage and stealing a lawn mower, had all charges held to court following a preliminary hearing Wednesday at Centralized Court held before Magisterial District Judge James Glass.
Levine is charged with burglary — felony of the second degree, theft by unlawful taking — felony of the third degree, and criminal mischief — summary offense.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, on March 21, the victim reported that someone broke the padlock off the door to his garage along Kauffman Road in Bell Township and removed a Cub Cadet zero turn lawn mower.
The next day at 9 a.m, a witness reported to state police that he saw the lawn mower behind a residence along Curry Run Road in Bell Township.
State police spoke to Levine who said he picked up the mower from his uncle’s house and drove it to the residence. He said his uncle had died a month prior and thought the mower belonged to his family now.
Levine is incarcerated in the Clearfield County Jail in lieu of $50,000 monetary bail.
Levine was represented by attorney Kenneth Pennington of the public defender’s office. The commonwealth was represented by Deputy District Attorney Trudy Lumadue.

In games like Wednesday’s 21-point come-from-behind victory over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, the Nets look like a team that can get hot this late in the season and make a deep playoff run.
And then performances like Friday’s sizable blown lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers make you question whether or not Brooklyn’s season will extend beyond next Tuesday.
The Nets built a 17-point lead on some of the best ball movement and group defense they’ve played in an opening half all season. And then it crumbled. The Cavaliers clawed back into the game on the glass, on Nets’ turnovers, and on the back of Darius Garland, the Most Improved Player of the Year candidate who lit it up for 31 points on 12-of-24 shooting on the night. For a few possessions early into the fourth quarter, the momentum swung Cleveland’s way.
Garland, however, is no Durant, who is a walking seven-foot momentum swing on his own. Durant subbed back into the game early in the fourth quarter and changed the game. The Nets turned a seven-point Cavs lead into a 118-107 victory that cemented their standing as the Eastern Conference’s seventh seed.
The stakes were clear well ahead of tipoff. A loss to the Cavs, who entered the night one game ahead of the Nets, coupled with wins for the ninth-seeded Atlanta Hawks and 10th seeded Charlotte Hornets, would have moved the Nets out of competition for seventh and down to 10th. A win, regardless of the outcome for any other teams, would have moved the Nets into sole ownership of the seventh seed, meaning home-court advantage for Tuesday’s play-in tournament game against one of the three aforementioned teams.
Like the bounce-back against the Knicks, the Nets proved resilient in the face of adversity, only letting Cleveland’s lead balloon to a modest seven points before subbing Durant back into the game earlier than usual in the fourth quarter.
Against a non-contender, Durant played the final 10:30 of the fourth quarter and tallied 42 minutes to get 36 points, five rebounds and five assists on the night.
Most Read
Therein lies another problem the Nets must face in the latter stretch of a season where every game from this point forward could lead to elimination: They are not getting enough out of Kyrie Irving, and they aren’t good enough without his brilliance to beat good teams, let alone the elite teams they’ll have to defeat en route to a championship.
Irving shot 7-of-22 from the field for 18 points and missed six of his seven attempts from deep. It continues a trend for the Nets’ star guard since he’s been cleared to play full-time after mayor Adams added an exemption to the city’s vaccine mandate for unvaxxed pro athletes. With the exception of his 42-point outburst against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, Irving has not been efficient. His legs are not fully under him and he is missing the trademark efficiency he prided himself on last season.
The Nets, however, are trying to rely less on isolation basketball. All five starters played in double figures and the Nets registered 30 assists on 43 made field goals. It was a breath of fresh air for a team that had appeared to be watching idly as Durant and Irving went to work offensively on a nightly basis.
If Irving isn’t going to be an efficient high-volume scorer, it increases the load for Durant and puts additional pressure on his teammates. Irving, who commanded a $35 million salary this season, should be the one alleviating pressure from those players and making their jobs easier.
And if he doesn’t step up like the Nets need him to, the team faces more scenarios like the storm they had to weather on Friday night. Except next time, that storm will be in Milwaukee, or Miami, or Boston, any one of the top three seeds the Nets could draw should they escape Tuesday’s play-in tournament. Those teams are much less likely to relinquish any lead, especially if the Nets aren’t getting the most out of both their stars.

MEPs demand full embargo on Russian imports of oil, coal, nuclear fuel and gas
MEPs known as for punitive measures together with an “immediate full embargo” on Russian oil, coal, and nuclear gas imports in a decision that was handed with 513 votes to 22.
This ought to be accompanied with a plan to safe the EU’s power provide safety, and a technique to “rollback sanctions in case Russia steps in the direction of restoring Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, territory integrity inside its internationally acknowledged borders, and fully eradicating its troops from the territory.
Russia is exempted from the G20 and multilateral organizations
MEPs insist that present sanctions have to be applied totally and successfully all through the EU and by EU’s worldwide allies. MEPs name for EU leaders to expel Russia from the G20, and different multilateral organizations, together with UNHRC, Interpol and the World Trade Organisation. This could be an indication that the worldwide neighborhood just isn’t going to proceed to do enterprise with an aggressor state.
The Parliament calls for that Russian banks be exempted from SWIFT, all Russian vessels to enter EU territorial waters, dock at EU ports, and highway freight transport to and from Russia and Belarus be stopped to make the sanctions more practical. MEPs demand that “all assets belonging Russian officials or oligarchs associated to Putin’s regim, their proxies, and strawmen, along with those in Belarus connected to Lukashenka’s regime”, be seized.
The decision factors out Belarus’s involvement within the battle in Ukraine and calls for that sanctions towards Belarus be mirrored these towards Russia to shut any loopholes that enable Putin to make use of Lukashenka to bypass sanctions.
Arms deliveries ought to proceed and be stepped-up
The surprising atrocities dedicated by Russian troops in Ukraine, significantly in Bucha, in addition to the destruction or almost full destruction of Mariupol and Volnovakha (recitals C & D) are what MEPs refers to. They demand that warfare criminals be held accountable, and {that a} UN particular tribunal be established for crimes dedicated in Ukraine.
The Parliament reiterates its assist for continued weapons deliveries to Ukraine with a purpose to allow it to defend itself successfully. The MEPs assist further defensive help to the Ukrainian Armed Forces by EU member international locations individually and collectively by way of European Peace Facility.
Given that nearly 6.5 million Ukrainian residents are internally displaced, and more 4 million have fled Ukraine due to the warfare (recital A), MEPs demand secure humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians fleeing bombings and to extend EU’s humanitarian help community in Ukraine.
They condemned the Russian rhetoric suggesting that they could resort to weapons of mass destruction, and careworn that such a deployment would result in essentially the most extreme penalties.

LIMERICK’S Aughinish Alumina plant will fall outside the scope of the European Union’s latest round of sanctions on Russia despite one of its major owners, billionaire oligarch Oleg Deripaska, being included on the new list of embargoed individuals, the Irish Independent understands.
Yesterday the EU announced its fifth package of sanctions in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It includes a ban on Russian coal and would ban most Russian trucks and ships from entering the EU.
It also includes companies whose products or technology have played a role in the invasion, key oligarchs and businesspeople, high-ranking Kremlin officials, and proponents of disinformation and information manipulation.
The EU announced sanctions against 217 individuals and 18 entities, including Russian President Vladimir Putin’s adult daughters and Mr Deripaska, a wealthy Russian aluminum tycoon.
Mr Deripaska is the biggest shareholder in EN+, which has a significant stake in Rusal, the owner of the Aughinish facility. This has raised the prospect that Rusal, and its Aughinish plant here, could also be included in any sanctions directed at Mr Deripaska.
However, Government officials have indicated that even with Mr Deripaska on the EU’s list, his companies might escape penalties as EU sanctions thus far do not affect minority shareholdings.
The Russian billionaire has a 44.95pc shareholding in EN+, which in turn owns a majority stake in Rusal, meaning that his beneficial interest in the company that controls the Aughinish plant falls below the sanctions threshold.
For now, the Government is not detailing how it will implement the new sanctions.
Foreign Minister Simon Coveney last night said they were “particularly important following the atrocities committed in Ukraine that came to light last week”.
“Ireland continues to support the strongest possible sanctions, and I look forward to discussing further measures with my colleagues at the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg on Monday,” he said.
“We must do what it takes to cut off funding to the Kremlin’s war effort, and to push those close to the regime to use their influence to bring this unjustified, illegal and immoral war to an end.”
“The EU will continue its close cooperation with like-minded partners to coordinate on the toughest sanctions. We stand united with Ukraine”.
To date, most Irish enforcement of sanctions has come through the financial system, as the IFSC has exposure to about €35bn in Russian assets, some of which have been affected by the tightening restrictions on both Russian capital and the individuals who control it.
But until now the focus has not been so much on individuals with Irish ties or investments here.
Mr Deripaska has been subject to US sanctions since 2018.
The UK also sanctioned him last month, alongside six other oligarchs including Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea Football Club, for their ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
In addition to EN+, Rusal and the Aughinish refinery, Mr Deripaska also owns an industrial conglomerate that includes a major supplier to Russia’s military.
Aughinish is a big employer in County Limerick and, as the largest facility of its kind in Europe, is a major link in the supply chain for aluminium, an essential industrial component.
On Wednesday, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said the Government was aware of the importance of Rusal’s huge Limerick plant, which employs around 400 people and supplies a third of the EU’s alumina.
On Thursday night the chair of Rusal called for “severe punishment” for the perpetrators of the suspected murders of civilians in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, putting the company on a potential collision course with the Kremlin.
In a statement published on Rusal’s own website, Dutch chair Bernard Zonneveld called for an “objective and impartial investigation” into alleged war crimes committed in Bucha, near Kyiv, while the town was under Russian control. Evidence of atrocities were uncovered as Ukrainian forces drove the occupiers out of the area in recent days.
“Reports from the Ukrainian city of Bucha shocked us. We believe that this crime should be thoroughly investigated. We support an objective and impartial investigation of this crime and call for severe punishment for the perpetrators. No matter how hard it may seem in the context of ongoing information war,” Mr Zonneveld said.
Mr Zonneveld stopped short of condemning the Russian President Vladimir Putin or the invasion of Ukraine itself, but he went much further than other major Russian corporations in calling for punishment of those found guilty of crimes.
Rusal has warned previously of supply, financing and profit risks to its business as a result of the war in Ukraine.
As a result, EN+ is reportedly looking to spin out its international assets, which include Aughinish Alumina, into a separate holding company to sever their links with Russia and protect their value – and shareholder interests – from the threat of further sanctions.

Tigers not burdened by slow start: Maguire
Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire says his winless side doesn't feel any added pressure as they prepare to face Cronulla.
The Tigers are the only NRL team still searching for their first win of the season.
Maguire's side pushed Melbourne all the way in round one, were humiliated by Newcastle and then suffered 16-12 and 8-6 losses to the Warriors and Gold Coast respectively.
But as they travel to face Craig Fitzgibbon's high-flying Sharks on Sunday, Maguire claimed there wasn't a growing burden of expectation on his side.
"We don't have any pressure," he said.
"What is our pressure? Obviously we're after the results but I don't think anyone really gives us a chance anyway.
"For us it's about going in and working hard for each other and going after what we are after which is a strong performance and a strong game.
"We've got our own expectations on each other. You have outside or internal thoughts but our expectations are very high on what they are for each other."
Another loss would undoubtedly ratchet up the pressure on Maguire's long-term future as Tigers coach with games against Parramatta, South Sydney, St George Illawarra and Manly to come.
Stretching back to last season the Tigers have won just two of their last 12 under his tenure.
But there are green shoots on the horizon with Jackson Hastings due back from suspension next week.
Maguire said he took heart from how their effort continued to remain high despite consecutive losses.
"(In) a lot of our games we've been in really good positions to be able to win," Maguire said.
"That's what we've got to take forward and the confidence that our style of play and those things work.
"I think they've shown that over the last month. We had a hiccup up there in Newcastle but the boys are fighting for themselves and fighting for the club.
"I'm seeing the boys build a really strong bond when you undergo a bit of adversity. We've got to get out and fight really hard."

FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys signed free-agent fullback Ryan Nall on Friday, adding a core special teams player who can also provide depth in the backfield.
Nall (6-2, 240) originally signed with the Bears in 2018 as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon State. He has played 33 career regular-season games, rushing six times for 12 yards and catching nine passes for 71 yards and one touchdown, but special teams was his calling card in Chicago.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy also values the fullback role, even if it's not an extensive part of the offense. Dallas used Connor McGovern as a lead blocker for a few snaps a game when he wasn't starting at guard.
Fullbacks Nick Ralston and Sewo Olonilua are also on the 90-man roster. Ralston spent most of the 2021 season on the practice squad as an undrafted rookie, while Olonilua was pushing for a roster spot before suffering a season-ending neck injury in preseason. He spent the season on injured reserve.
Nall was a restricted free agent with Chicago but did not receive a tender offer from the Bears, making him an unrestricted free agent. He pitched in at running back and fullback for the Bears and also had some tight end snaps in college.

Ball scores 24, Hornets bury Bulls early in 133-117 win
By ANDREW SELIGMAN
AP Sports Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — LaMelo Ball scored 24 points and the Charlotte Hornets buried the Chicago Bulls early in a 133-117 win. The Hornets — 10th in the Eastern Conference and a game behind Brooklyn and Atlanta coming in — barely broke a sweat in this one. They led 79-51 through the first two quarters, the most points allowed in a half this season by Chicago, and handed the listless Bulls their fourth straight loss. Charlotte shot 60.5% and made 19 of 40 3-pointers, with Ball setting the tone. The All-Star point guard did all his scoring in the first half. He made 8 of 16 shots in the game, including 5 of 9 3-pointers, and finished with nine assists in 29 minutes. Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 23 points.

Food insecurity has become a common obstacle for college students in the United States.
Food insecurity is a familiar foe to college students. 36% of students were food insecure in 2018 according to a study conducted by Wisconsin’s HOPE Lab.
Food insecurity can be described as not eating three meals a day, not having access to fresh produce and food with nutritional value or just not having enough money to purchase food when needed.
First-year student Cali Williams offers her experience with food insecurity as a college student.
“Since I live in a dorm by myself, it is easier to shop for myself since I know what I need. The only issue with that is it ends up being really expensive and if I do not have enough money to go shopping, I would end up not being able to shop or have to skip either breakfast or lunch just so I would not run out of food,” Williams explained.
While there are resources such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that provides free or reduced cost meals to college students, it can be a struggle getting approved as there are many legal requirements that have to be met. However, UW Tacoma offers a free resource called The Pantry that many students have yet to learn about or use.
First-year student Rebecca Cowden offers her take on UWT’s resources regarding food insecurity.
“I think the University of Washington Tacoma handles food insecurity really well. The Pantry program that they offer is very helpful and I have had friends use it before. However, I do wish there was some kind of food program like with West Coast Grocery – or something like that,” Cowden added.
Marissa Morris, pantry assistant shares insight into The Pantry.
“The Pantry is a very helpful resource for college students because it can be difficult to buy food as it is a huge expense. The Pantry is a great resource for students to get food and hygiene products” Morris says. “We are open Monday through Friday from 9a.m. to 5p.m.”
According to Morris, The Pantry saw 329 students use The Pantry during winter quarter which was a much bigger number than the amount of students seen in the beginning of the pandemic.
According to a study by CNBC, in the beginning of March 2022, consumers saw food prices increase by 7.9% compared to last year’s prices, so students may want to take advantage of these resources when faced with food insecurity hardships.
Students can find more information about The Pantry on their website at www.tacoma.uw.edu/equity-center/pantry or stop by Dougan at Room 104.

Carper, Coons, Blunt Rochester Announce $35 Million Investment in Delaware Transit
DELAWARE, April 8 - WILMINGTON, Del. — U.S. Senators Tom Carper and Chris Coons, along with Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (all D-Del.), today announced historic investments in public transit from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including more than $35 million to Delaware for fiscal year 2022. This funding from the Federal Transit Administration will enable transit agencies like Delaware Transit Corporation (DTC) to modernize and expand services for residents in communities large and small.
“We should all be proud of our work and President Biden’s leadership in getting the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law across the finish line. As part of this law, we included historic investments to modernize our nation’s transit systems,” said Senator Tom Carper. “I’m pleased to see these funds now making their way into the First State. These transit investments will help more Delawareans get where they are going while also lowering pollution and traffic and creating economic opportunity — a true win-win.”
“President Biden made historic investments in our transit systems when he signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill into law last year,” said Senator Coons. “Many Delawareans rely on systems like DART and SEPTA to get to work, go to school, and get across town. The $35 million coming to Delaware—and millions more supporting other regional transit systems—will keep these systems running efficiently, frequently, and on-time. That is money well-spent.”
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which I championed through the House last year, is at work making long-overdue investments to our nation’s infrastructure, including modernizing our modes of transportation,” said Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester. “For Delaware, that means making our public transportation safer, cleaner, and more accessible all while making sure we reduce our carbon footprint and continue to strengthen our domestic supply chains. And this funding will help us do just that – invest in the transit Delawareans rely on every day to live and work in the First State.”
“This additional funding will help us realize our goal of reducing fleet emissions by 50% by the year 2030. We continue to modernize our fleet with zero emission buses and the needed infrastructure to support operations. Additionally, we will use these resources to continue to expand access to public transit by reducing barriers and offer other mobility options such as DART Connect microtransit,” said DTC CEO John Sisson.
“Every day, transit connects millions of Americans to jobs, schools, groceries, hospitals, resources, and countless other opportunities – all while helping to reduce pollution, congestion, and traffic,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.“Now, thanks to the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are making the largest investment in public transit in our nation’s history.”
Full-year funding is available following the enactment of an FY 2022 appropriations bill in March. The amounts that states will receive this year reflects the largest ever federal investment in public transit, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, allowing thousands of transit agencies to buy new buses and railcars, address their repair backlogs, modernize their fleets, and transition to new technologies to address the climate crisis. These upgrades will support the expansion of U.S. manufacturing due to Buy America requirements that apply to steel, iron and other materials used in public transportation projects that receive federal assistance.
“This funding will open more doors to Americans than ever before,” said FTA Administrator Nuria Fernandez. “Every time a door opens on a bus, a streetcar, a train or a ferry, it’s another chance to connect with our communities. With this announcement, we are also helping fulfill key Biden-Harris Administration priorities by addressing equity, workforce, and climate concerns and moving toward a clean, American-made transportation future.”

Sterling falls versus euro on bets for ECB rate hikes
By Stefano Rebaudo
April 8 (Reuters) - Sterling hit its lowest level since mid-March versus the dollar on Friday and also fell versus the single currency as markets raised their bets on monetary tightening in the euro zone.
Money markets are currently pricing in 65 bps of European Central Bank rate hikes by year-end, up from 60 bps on Thursday, and around 135 bps by the Bank of England. IRPR
ECB policymakers appeared keen to unwind stimulus at their March 10 meeting, with some pushing for even more action, the accounts of the gathering showed.
ING analysts said “the market's dovish repricing of BoE rate expectations has been contained,” and this is offering some support to the pound.
Bank of England Deputy Governor Jon Cunliffe said on Monday the central bank may not need to take sustained action to stop expectations of persistent high inflation.
Sterling was down 0.3% at 83.44 pence versus the single currency after hitting earlier in the session its highest level since March 23 at 83.07 pence EURGBP=
Concerns about monetary tightening triggering a recession weighed on the pound.
“With luck, it (the market path of future rate rises) may reflect the view that the BoE will be able to ease rates a little once inflation has been brought under control, as it did on several occasions during the 1990s and 2000s when the BoE achieved a soft landing,” said Kallum Pickering, senior economist at Berenberg.
Sterling fell 0.3% against the greenback to $1.3080. It hit its lowest since November 2020 in mid-March at $1.3. GBP=
The U.S. dollar index strengthened to 100 for the first time in nearly two years, supported by the prospect of a more aggressive pace of Federal Reserve rate hikes.
Kit Juckes, a macro strategist at SocGen, flagged correlation between U.S. 10-year real yields and the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the pound.
"It suggests fair value now for sterling is $1.30 exactly," he said in a research note.
"Given where Fed policy is headed, and where UK inflation is going this year, it argues pretty persuasively that GBP/USD is a decent short, even here," he added.

The Murcian tennis player is consecrating himself as one of the best tennis players in the world at only 18 years old thanks to his work at the Juan Carlos Ferrero Equelite Sport Academy, the academy of the former Spanish tennis player located in Villena (Alicante). There, in the sports facilities where the player from El Palmar is forged as a star, other young people who love racket sport also learn.
The school is designed to train both beginners and advanced players who want to improve their game, for which it offers programs at different levels that progress with the aim that students improve little by little. Those who have never hit a ball and want to start in this world, those who need to perfect their style and those who want to compete for a place in the racket sport can attend.
It is active nine months a year, from September 14 to June 25, and the hours are adapted to the needs of each participant. Thus, it is not unreasonable to go to train and meet Carlos Alcaraz, a Masters 1,000 champion, on one of the facility’s tracks. Surely seeing him hit balls a few meters away can serve as an ‘extra’ in learning. And it is included in the price.
One aspect, the economic one, which varies according to the age of the students, the level and the hours that each one wants to spend hitting rights, reverses and drop shots. Children from 3 to 5 years old pay 47 euros per month or 126 per quarter (42/month) for two hours per week; children between 6 and 8 years old pay 78 euros per month or 210 per quarter (70/month) for three hours per week divided into two days; those over that age have the option of training four hours a week divided into two days for 105 euros per month or 284 per quarter (95/month), or six hours divided into three days for 150 per month or 405 per quarter ( 135/month).
The academy also offers the option of ‘super Saturday’: three hours of training on the penultimate day of the week that includes physical work as well as tennis for 68 euros per month or 183 per quarter (61/month). Adults who want to train one hour a week can do so for 39 euros per month or 105 per quarter (35/month); two hours for 62 euros or 167 (53/month); or three hours for 83 per month or 224 per quarter (75/month). In addition, there is the option of training in pairs that costs 66 euros per month per person in case of training one hour a week or 102 if it is two hours. The school also has private bonuses ranging from 30 euros to 364 depending on the number of students and the number of classes.
annual competition
The Juan Carlos Ferrero Equelite Sport Academy is an expert in preparing young tennis players who want to reach their full potential and compete against others, as is the case with Alcaraz. For this reason, it has a program called Annual Competition, which has a limited number of places, and is based on personalized sports and psychological training, accompanied by a study system if the athlete requires it. The program includes accommodation in rooms that the academy itself has in the facilities and that have everything the athlete needs.

With this training plan, the student leads the life of Carlos Alcaraz. He lives, eats, trains and studies at the academy. The physical and technical preparation takes between 33 and 38 hours per week, which also includes physiotherapy and psychology sessions. Weekend afternoons are usually the athlete’s break time, unless tournaments are taking place.
This program has two different rates. The player who signs up for this training plan and requires a study plan must pay 4,025 euros per month; that athlete who only wants training and food has to pay 2,180 euros per month. This program is developed by the Juan Carlos Ferrero team, made up of coaches, physical trainers, physiotherapists, doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and teachers.

AUGUSTA, GA (WJBF) – It’s a trip of a lifetime for Bill DeLoach and one he’s waited on for a while.
“I’m 93, I go back to Ben Hogan and Chi-Chi Rodriguez and those guys were great,” said DeLoach.
He’s making his trip to Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters from Boston, Massachusetts.
“Like I said I’m an ordinary guy, I work for a living, just like you do and come to down here it is a quite a thing,” he added.
Bill took in his first day at Augusta on Thursday as he trekked all the way to Amen Corner, taking in the beauty and watching the very famous holes he’s watched on television for decades.
“I was tired , so we had chairs and sat down,” he said while laughing. “When I left here I didn’t know if
I was going to get back to the car,” he added with a smile on his face.
Visiting Augusta has been on his life-long bucket list and he didn’t actually believe his dream was becoming a reality until he walked through the gates.
“He thought the tickets were fake. He thought it was a scam,” said Mike Uva, Bill’s grandson.
This is also Mike’s first Masters Tournament and it means a great deal to the both of them that they can share this memory.
“To be able to have the opportunity to go to my first Masters and it’s his first Masters after 93 years
on this earth, it’s something I think will sink in years from now, and I’m just trying to soak it in the best I can
right now and the best that we both can,” said Uva.

The upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is expected to launch in India next year, and it will be a direct rival to KTM 390 Adventure
Royal Enfield is currently working on a brand-new 450cc adventure motorcycle. Expected to be named ‘Himalayan 450’, this new motorcycle was recently spotted during a road test, wearing heavy disguise. Thanks to the spy pictures, as well as details from a few earlier reports, we know a fair bit about this upcoming ADV.
RE Himalayan 450 will have a round LED headlamp, along with a short visor and a beak-style fender at the front. The new model seems to get a front subframe, similar to that on the existing Himalayan, although the fuel tank looks different. We also see a split-seat setup, USD front forks, a tall single-piece handlebar, and round rear-view mirrors here.
We expect the motorcycle to get a new instrument cluster, which will get the brand’s tripper navigation system as well. In the spy picture, we see that said instrument console has been positioned quite high, higher than the handlebars, and it might be tilt-adjustable as well. The spy picture also shows that the engine will be a liquid-cooled unit.
As per speculations, the 450cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powerplant of the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan will develop around 40 PS of peak power and 40 Nm of maximum torque. With these figures, RE’s new adventure bike will be more powerful than BMW G310 GS and Yezdi Adventure, and in direct competition with KTM 390 Adventure.
RE Himalayan 450 will be based on a new platform, named ‘K1’. The motorcycle will get a trellis frame, which will offer better stiffness and strength than the half-duplex split cradle frame of the existing Himalayan. Also, this upcoming ADV is expected to get wire-spoked wheels with tubeless tyres.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will likely make its debut in India at the 2023 Auto Expo, which is scheduled for January next year. It is expected to be significantly more expensive than the current RE Himalayan (Rs. 2.14 lakh to Rs. 2.22 lakh), but it will undercut KTM 390 Adventure (Rs. 3.28 lakh).
All prices mentioned above are ex-showroom, New Delhi

LoDa Artwalk presents tie dye fun
MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Friday was a windy yet beautiful night in downtown Mobile. Hundreds came out for this month’s edition of LoDa Artwalk, celebrating National Tie Dye day.
“Artwalk is getting bigger and bigger each month,” said Cheryl Nicholls, an art vendor.
LoDa Artwalk is put on by the City of Mobile every second Friday of the month.
“There’s a little bit of something for everybody every single month,” said Nicholls.
Art vendors flooded the streets. Live music had many busting a move, and families looked forward to some quality time together.
“My mom picked me up from school, and she took me downtown, and I was very excited,” said Roman Lowe, 10 years old.
Friday night’s feature was tie dye. Families gathered around tables to try their hand at making scarves.
“I tried my best to make a burst of different colors, like blues, reds, and yellows,” said Lowe.
For one family, they passed through the Port City and decided to check out Artwalk for the first time.
“It has not disappointed,” said Daniel Crosby. “It’s been so fascinating, so diverse, so welcoming. Great food, great people, great event.”
They hope to return soon.
“We’re absolutely sold,” said Crosby. “I’m from north Alabama. This is a part of Alabama I’ve never seen, and I’m walking away incredibly impressed.”
The next LoDa Artwalk is Friday, May 13.

MOSCOW – THE Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow would retaliate against Washington’s latest package of sanctions, adding that the response would not necessarily be symmetrical.
“We will announce retaliatory measures in the near future… the blame for the destruction of Russian-U.S. relations lies entirely with Washington,” it said in a statement, citing Alexander Darchiev, who heads the ministry’s North American affairs department.
Darchiev added that Washington’s actions have become a routine practice, and the recent decision to impose a fresh package of sanctions against Russian officials and the country’s financial sector show that the United States had clearly ran out of restrictive measures.
“Not a single aggressive attack against Russia will go unanswered,” he said, adding that this would only unite the Russian people, and end in “a humiliating defeat” for the enemy.

The Alberta government has released recovery plans for two herds of threatened caribou in the province’s north.
The plans for the Cold Lake and Bistcho Lake herds are intended to bring the amount of usable caribou habitat in the area up to 65 per cent in accordance with federal guidelines.
That process is expected to take at least 50 years.
Carolyn Campbell of the Alberta Wilderness Association welcomed the emphasis on co-ordinating road building as well as managing and reducing the effects of forestry and oil and gas activity.
But she says the plans delay most of the hard work for at least a decade and lack specifics on how habitat will be maintained and restored.
Campbell says that means the province will continue to rely for the foreseeable future on shooting and poisoning wolves in the area to keep caribou on the landscape.

Police: Teen dies after boys shoot at each other while wearing body armor
BELLEVIEW, Fla. (Gray News) - A Florida teenager is dead and two others have been arrested after police said the boys took turns shooting at each other while wearing body armor.
The Belleview Police Department responded to a call of a shooting over the weekend at a house and found 16-year-old Christopher Leroy Broad Jr. shot inside of the home. He was transported to a hospital but died from his injuries.
Police said through their investigation they found 17-year-old Joshua Vining and Broad were taking turns shooting at each other while wearing a vest that contained a form of body armor. BPD Sgt. Michael Miley said Broad Jr. died after he was hit by a bullet fired by Vining, according to the evidence found.
On Thursday, police arrested Vining and 17-year-old Colton Whitler.
Vining was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child with a firearm and Whitler was charged with providing false information to law enforcement, according to Belleview police.

Which retro shower curtain is best?
Thanks to social media, interior-design styles are being unearthed every day. We now have access to decades of funky, artsy and avant-garde decor ideas.
One overlooked canvas for retro inspiration is the humble shower curtain. When styled as an accent piece, a shower curtain can be that perfect springboard for filling your bathroom with fun colors and flamboyant patterns. The best shower curtain to achieve a retro look is the YoKii Vintage Abstract Art Fabric Shower Curtain.
What to know before you buy a retro shower curtain
What retro is
Retro is all about nostalgia. The theme encompasses a broad range of styles that went out of fashion but are now in vogue as iconic — albeit dated — vestiges of the past. Rooted in memories of the homes people grew up in, retro statement pieces help anchor your decor to a specific time or open up room for some playful pastiche.
Popular retro styles
The most popular retro style today is mid-century modernism. Generations who grew up in the postwar era have rediscovered natural woods, organic forms and muted palettes. But other styles are also making a comeback thanks to the internet.
The ’60s, ’70s and ’80s are all big right now. From boho-hippie psychedelica to Technicolor open-plan living to Memphis design, there’s no shortage of inspiration.
You can also go all the way back to the prewar period’s Jazz Age and Art Deco, or break the mold with early-20th-century ornamentation.
Retro patterns
If you’re going retro, your best bet is a pattern. Intricate geometric patterns with limited palettes (bonus points for gold) look great in mid-century modern decors. Psychedelic floral or abstract prints work best for a ’60s vibe, while psychedelic color-blocking and geometric patterns capture the essence of the ’70s. And zooty pop-art prints with loud pastel palettes are as ’80s as it gets when it comes to shower curtains.
Retro colors
If you want a solid-color shower curtain, you’ll need to be a little more strategic. Aim to match it to the palette of the respective decade you’re hoping to emulate. For example, avocado green was all the rage in the flower-power ’60s, only to be replaced by harvest gold in the groovy ’70s. By the time you get to the ’80s, it’s either mauve (shabby chic) or primary colors (Memphis design).
At any rate, you can’t go wrong if you pick a color from a palette based on one of these colors.
What to look for in a quality retro shower curtain
Material
Shower curtains come in three materials that not only affect their appearance, but also their durability and texture.
- Cotton: This luscious fabric feels and looks premium. It’s perfect for solid colors and soft decors. Cotton’s not waterproof, and it is the most expensive, but if you wash it regularly, it can last for years.
- Vinyl: The budget option, vinyl is easy to print on and swap out as you play with style. This completely water-resistant material is either made from PVC or eco-friendly PEVA or EVA.
- Polyester: A synthetic fabric, polyester combines the waterproofing power of plastic with the woven splendor of cotton. There will always be that plasticky sheen, but this is the best of both worlds if you want a print on sophisticated material without shelling out for cotton.
Size
- Standard: At 72 by 72 inches, these are made to cover one long edge of the standard bathtub.
- Extra-wide: For those with a freestanding or corner tub, a standard width won’t cut it. Extra-wide curtains extend from 108-180 inches to wrap around additionally exposed sides.
- Extra-long: If you have high ceilings, an extra-long shower curtain adds 1-2 feet in length so you don’t have to worry about soaking your floors.
- Narrow: Stall showers tucked into small bathrooms don’t have a lot of room to spare, and standard curtains will bunch up. Narrow curtains halve the length to 36 inches so you can have privacy without sacrificing precious space.
Installation
Shower curtains are installed on a rod via grommets. These are holes sewn into the top of the curtain that are reinforced with plastic or rustproof metal. Some curtains have grommets large enough to slide the curtain directly onto the rod. This is the easiest method of installation, but your curtain won’t lie as flat or pull as easily.
If your grommets are too small, you’ll need shower hooks. These slide onto your curtain rod and clip into the grommet. Shower hooks require a little more dexterity, but make for easy operation. They also limit bunching better than grommets.
How much you can expect to spend on a retro shower curtain
A vinyl curtain typically runs $5-$20. Polyester is usually $25-$60. And a high-quality cotton shower curtain can be as much as $70-$120.
Retro shower curtain FAQ
Should I use a curtain liner?
A. These protective barriers help ward off mold and mildew, which lower the lifespan of your curtain. While they aren’t strictly necessary for vinyl and polyester, a liner will get you much more use out of these materials. And they’re a must with cotton.
How do I clean my shower curtain?
A. Most shower curtains, regardless of their material, can be cleaned in a washing machine. Just follow care instructions on the packaging. You should do this once a month. Vinyl can also be cleaned with standard household cleaner and paper towel.

Manny Marotta, a reporter who was working in Ukraine when Russia launched its invasion, said many of the people he encountered when he escaped the country were not aware of the full scope of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s assault on the country.
Marotta in an appearance on Hill.TV’s “Rising” said that he walked 74 km, about 46 miles, from the western Ukrainian town of Lviv to Poland. During his walk, Marotta said people were generally afraid and unprepared due to now knowing when they would ever be able to return to their homes.
The Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion were left in a communication blackout as they walked through the countryside with no internet or cell service, said Marotta.
“Everyone knew that the country was being invaded, nobody knew how badly it was being invaded,” Marotta said. “And so there was just this great fear from everybody and this great sense of panic about needing to get west as fast as possible.”

The Cleveland Browns continued to build out their quarterback room for 2022 on Friday with the signing of quarterback Josh Dobbs.
The transaction was first reported by Dobbs’ agent, Mike McCartney, so it is probably pretty reliable.
Excited for @josh_dobbs1 agreeing to a 1 year deal with the @Browns
— Mike McCartney (@MikeMcCartney7) April 8, 2022
Originally a fourth-round selection by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2017 NFL Draft, Dobbs hung around Pittsburgh for two seasons, appearing in five games in 2018, before being sent to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fifth-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft right before the 2019 season.
Dobbs did not see any action with the Jaguars, and almost a year to the day the Steelers brought Dobbs back to the team by claiming him off waivers from Jacksonville.
He appeared in one game for the Steelers in 2020 - the season finale against the Browns - where he completed four-of-five pass attempts for two yards. He spent the 2021 season on injured reserve with a toe injury.
Prolly should change my profile pic …
— Josh Dobbs (@josh_dobbs1) April 8, 2022
Dobbs has played in six games in his NFL career, completing 10-of-17 passes for 45 yards, one interception and a quarterback rating of 39.1.
The addition of Dobbs brings the Browns quarterback room to four at the moment, with starter Deshaun Watson, backup Jacoby Brissett, and in-limbo Baker Mayfield also currently on the roster.

Russia's central bank says it will stop buying gold at a fixed price
Russia's central bank said on Thursday that due to a "significant change in market conditions" it would buy gold from commercial banks at a negotiated price from 8 April.
On 25 March, the bank had said it would buy gold at a fixed price of 5,000 roubles a gram until 30 June.
Since that announcement, the rouble has strengthened sharply against the dollar. Five thousand roubles was worth around $52 on 25 March and around $63 on Thursday.
Gold prices on the international market have remained stable at around $60 a gram, or $1,900 an ounce.
Russia is one of the world's biggest gold producers, but the country's refiners were barred from selling bullion into the London market, the world's largest, after the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February.
($1 = 78.6830 roubles)

Fraudster Alex Windsor doctored cheques to swindle nearly £13,000 from a clay pigeon shooting club. The 24-year-old was employed as a handyman by Cloudside Shooting Grounds in Congleton.
He was due to be paid £33 for four hours work on a Saturday. But the defendant altered cheques so he was instead paid £12,908.38 in a long-running scam.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard the club alerted the police and Windsor, of Oversley Road, Fegg Hayes, was arrested. He has now been handed a suspended prison sentence.

Prosecutor Thomas Sherrington said Windsor manipulated cheques between December 28, 2018, and June 13, 2020 before his ruse was rumbled. He told the court: "He was employed at The Cloudside Shooting Grounds as a maintenance man. His hours were reduced because he was disqualified from driving.
“He was to be paid £33 for four hours on a Saturday and payment was made to him by cheque. He was receiving much more money than expected. It transpired that the cheques sent had been manipulated. The cheques had been uploaded via an app.
“The total loss to the bank which paid back to the company was £12,908.38. The police were called and Mr Windsor was arrested.
“He made full and frank admissions in interview and pleaded guilty at magistrates. He’s 24-years-old and has two previous convictions for four offences. He received a suspended sentence for dangerous driving, and received a sentence of eight months suspended for 18 months. It has now expired.”
Windsor pleaded guilty to fraud.
Gemma Maxwell, mitigating, said: “He’s still a young man and entitled to full credit for his guilty plea. He has expressed genuine remorse for his actions. The offence is that he’s in breach of his suspended sentence. It was a matter of months.
“His overall compliance with the suspended sentence was good. The offending was not long after, but it was an entirely different matter. He’s in a long-term stable relationship at a stable address and is in full-time work. There are protective factors in his life. There’s simply no excuse for what he did. For him there’s a realistic prospect of rehabilitation.”
Judge David Fletcher sentenced Windsor to 12 months in jail suspended for 18 months. He told the defendant: “The loss is almost £13,000. Your background tells of a young man who’s not workshy who made very bad decisions in the early part of the pandemic. There was planning involved - significant planning. The activity was conducted over a period of time.”
Windsor was also ordered t pay back £10,000 at a rate of £400 a month. He must also complete 140 hours unpaid work and is subjection to a 20-day rehabilitation requirement.

As families come together for Ramadan the cost of living crisis continues to bite. And with a recent estimate suggesting up to half of Muslim households in the UK are living in poverty many may struggle to put food on the table.
Breaking fast for some will mean a reliance on city foodbanks helping out. As such we have put together a list of those across the city accepting halal donations which will help Muslim families who need a helping hand throughout the Holy Month.
Throughout Ramadan Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset - not drinking or eating for 29 to 30 days. Breaking fast each day is a significant event and centres around food.

However as the cost of living rises, National Zakat Foundation has seen a 70% rise in requests for grants for British Muslims in need. With this in mind, we have put together a list of food banks accepting halal donations in Birmingham.
Green Lane Masjid Food bank in Small Heath

Masjid Al Falaah Food bank in Handsworth

Eid al-Fitr - what you need to know
1.Eid al-Fitr is one of the most important Muslims festivals in the Islamic calendar and marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. It takes place at the start of the next month, Shawwal.
2.Celebrate Eid, the one-day celebration of Eid al-Fitr in Birmingham's Small Heath Park, sees as many as 140,000 Muslims joining in a single congregation - but this event has been unable to take place during the coronavirus pandemic
3.Islamic religious festivals are based on the moon’s cycle. This is different from the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the sun and used by most of the western world.
4.Eid, which means "festival of breaking the fast", is a religious holiday and a day of celebrations when Muslims will give thanks to Allah, and exchange small gifts and cards.
5.People usually dress in new clothes or in their finest outfits for the day.
6.Eid al-Fitr begins on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the lunar calendar, but usually carries on for three days. Muslims can opt for a further six days of fasting in this new month - these do not have to be consecutive. Anyone completing this is said to have completed the equivalent of fasting all year round. This is because Islamic tradition says that a good deed is rewarded 10 times - completing Ramadan and the six days during Shawwal, times 10, is a year.
7.Giving to charity is an important part of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. This is usually donations of food to the poor so they too can enjoy Eid celebrations.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — Cornelia Walker Bailey devoted her life to documenting and preserving the Saltwater Geechee culture on Sapelo Island until her passing in 2017, but it seems the isolated island’s beloved matriarch has more wisdom to impart.
Bailey’s interactions with the island and its people are the focus of the award-winning documentary, “Sapelo.”
The documentary made its U.S. premiere Thursday on PBS. An episode of the American ReFramed documentary series on WORLD Channel, the film can be streamed at worldchannel.org.
Directed by Swiss documentarian Nick Brandestini, “Sapelo” looks through Bailey’s eyes at the fading Saltwater Geechee culture in the island’s Hog Hammock community. Here in this last enclave of the Georgia sea islands’ unique Geechee people, the film captures Bailey’s efforts to preserve this rich African American culture for posterity in the face of increasing development pressures. At the same time, Bailey perseveres with the raising of her two adoptive boys, JerMarkest and Johnathan, on this unbridged island.
Sapelo Island is accessible by ferry.
The filming of “Sapelo” took place before Bailey’s death at age 72 on Oct. 12, 2017, but editing and final production work was not completed until recent years. The film has since had several film festival screenings, earning Best Documentary Feature at the RiverRun International Film Festival in the spring of 2021 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Thursday marked the documentary’s public premiere.
“Cornelia Walker Bailey was an amazing woman who I shared a lot of laughs with,” Brandestini told The News. “She was a powerful voice for Sapelo who worked tirelessly to preserve the Gullah-Geechee culture.”
Like the Gullah along the shores of South Carolina, coastal Georgia’s Geechee culture emerged from the fierce determination of enslaved Blacks to maintain their African roots and traditions. Despite enslavement, an advanced knowledge of rice cultivation and a resistance to malaria afforded them a degree of independence under which their African traditions were preserved and adapted over the generations.
When emancipation came, the newly-freed Geechee settled on barrier islands such as Sapelo, employing their understanding of the unique coastal environment to forge self-sufficient farming and fishing communities.
Born on Sapelo Island, Bailey grew up immersed in the Geechee culture and traditions. She was a direct descendant of Bilali, the literate enslaved man who practiced his Muslim faith while rising to overseer of Thomas Spalding’s Sapelo Island plantation in the early 19th century.
Bailey became a tireless champion of the Geechee and their place on Sapelo Island, the secluded beauty of which has brought increasing pressure from developers of luxury homes in recent decades. A gifted storyteller, Bailey was much in demand as a speaker.
She founded the Sapelo Island Cultural Day Festival to raise further awareness of Geechee culture. Perhaps the defining book on this unique coastal Georgia culture is Bailey’s 2000 memoir, “God, Dr. Buzzard,” and the “Bolito Man: A Saltwater Geechee Talks About Life on Sapelo Island.”
Brandestini said getting to know Bailey was a highlight of the film’s making. Tapping into her wisdom and keen sense of humor was key to the film’s success, he said. In the process, he learned that family members such as son Maurice are working to keep her dreams alive.
“Her unique legacy lives on in many ways,” Brandestini said. “Her stories remain alive and her agricultural projects are now being led by her son, Maurice. I am hoping that viewers will be called to action to ensure that this historic community continues to thrive well into the future.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols held back tears during a lengthy standing ovation. The Cardinals designated hitter put on a big smile instead.
Plenty of reason for those on this opening day in St. Louis.
Adam Wainwright pitched six scoreless innings, Tyler O’Neill hit a three-run homer and drove in a career-high five, and the Cardinals celebrated Pujols’ return with a 9-0 season-opening win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.
“I was trying to hold it in a little bit,” Pujols said. “These fans really appreciate what I’ve done for this organization and hopefully I can continue to do that and finish strong.”
Yadier Molina threw out a runner trying to steal second in the first game of his final big league season, and Nolan Arenado and Tommy Edman also homered for the Cardinals, who won the managerial debut of 35-year-old Oliver Marmol. Paul Goldschmidt drew four straight walks, the first player to do that on opening day since Manny Ramírez in 2002.
The Pirates had just six hits and lost budding star Ke’Bryan Hayes to left forearm spasms in the first inning — just hours after news began to spread that Hayes had agreed to a $70 million, eight-year deal. Hayes said the issue was minor and not related to a wrist injury that spoiled his 2021 season.
“It was just a cramp,” he said.
Fans stood and cheered Pujols for nearly a full minute prior to his first at-bat, a flyout to left in the first inning. The 42-year-old played 11 seasons in St. Louis (2001-2011) and helped the Cardinals to a pair of World Series championships before leaving to join the Los Angeles Angels.
Pujols, who signed a one-year deal with St. Louis last month, was 0 for 5.
“He looked good, at least as far as his timing,” Marmol said.
Added Wainwright: “The time that he was here (before), he was a franchise player. A guy who changed the game and was the face of baseball in St. Louis. To see him come back, to be a part of this clubhouse again, is really, really cool.”
Wainwright (1-0) allowed five hits in his sixth opening day start and first since 2016. The 40-year-old struck out six and did not walk a batter. He and the 39-year-old Molina made their 305th start as a battery, fourth most in major league history. Molina made his franchise-record 18th successive opening day start.
O’Neill had an RBI single in the first, then broke the game open with a line-drive homer to left in the second inning against starter JT Brubaker (0-1) for a 4-0 lead.
“We’re an offensive force,” O’Neill said. “We have a lot of depth, one through nine. Everybody’s dangerous. The DH helps a lot as well. We’re always confident in ourselves.”
Wainwright wriggled out of his only jam in the fourth by getting Kevin Newman to ground into an inning-ending double play with two runners on base. Wainwright has not allowed a run against Pittsburgh in his last 32 innings.
“I’m not trying to take away how amazing today was,” Wainwright said. “But we still plan on getting that last out of the entire season.”
The Cardinals recorded their largest opening day margin of victory since beating Houston 14-3 in 1982.
Yoshi Tsutsugo had two hits for Pittsburgh, which opened the season on the road for sixth successive season.
Relievers Nick Wittgren, Genesis Cabrera and Ryan Helsley combined on the six-hit shutout.
Brubaker, who was the Pirates seventh opening day starter in as many years, allowed four runs over three innings. He struck out two and walked three.
HORSING AROUND
Pregame ceremonies featured the traditional parade of Clydesdale horses circling the field in addition to the introduction of 16 members of the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame. Ozzie Smith threw out the first pitch to Willie McGee.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: RHP Duane Underwood Jr. left the game in the sixth with right hamstring tightness. … OF Greg Allen was placed on the 60-day injury list with a left hamstring issue.
Cardinals: Opening the season without RHP Jack Flaherty, who is sidelined with shoulder stiffness.
UP NEXT
Pittsburgh RHP Mitch Keller (5-11, 6.17 last season) will face RHP Miles Mikolas (2-3, 4.23) in the second game of a four-game series Saturday.

West Point resident Linda Toren, a poet and teacher, can now add published author to her list of accomplishments.
Toren has written one haiku–a type of short-form poetry originating in Japan–every day for five years, and now hundreds of those poems have been published in a 166-page collection. The book, “Raven Braids the Wind: Haiku: A Life in Syllables,” was recently published by Calaveras County-based Manzanita Writers Press and has consistently ranked on Amazon’s Best Sellers List for haiku and poetry.
Press for Toren’s book describes the collection as “at once a reflection on nature, diary of days, and exploration of life…” and that “whether or not you write haiku, you will be able to appreciate their accessibility and simplicity and find yourself opening doors and windows to companionable thoughts and feelings.”
“Raven Braids the Wind” is Toren’s first book of poetry to be published, though the poet has had her works in published anthologies including “Teaching with Fire: Poetry That Sustains the Courage to Teach,” and has even created her own spiral-bound books. Toren says it was “good fortune” that her spiral-bound draft copy of this book landed in front of Monika Rose, director of Manzanita Writers Press, who offered to publish it.
Toren says the process was collaborative, with Rose offering editing and layout suggestions and helping Toren to select artwork. Toren’s husband, Ted Toren, contributed drawings to the book, and Fiddletown artist Wendy Rogers painted the cover artwork.
Prior to becoming an author, Toren taught at West Point Elementary for over t20 years and also worked as an etymologist for the Pacific Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Toren continues to teach poetry as a volunteer in Calaveras and Amador county. When she isn’t teaching in classrooms and workshops, she is busy directing a 55+ writers group, serving on the Board of local non-profit Blue Mountain Coalition for Youth and Families (BMCYF), volunteering with Friends of the Library, and hosting a radio program that’s all about “the celebration of thoughts and language.”
Toren, who has a master’s degree in ecology and systematic biology, says she is “a naturalist biologist at heart”– which is one reason why haiku is an excellent form of expression for the poet.
Haiku originated in Japan several centuries ago. The earliest haiku were actually part of a larger poem, called a renga. The haiku, or hokku, was the opening stanza and thus set the scene of the poem, typically indicating a season– or moment in time–by utilizing descriptions of nature. Today, most haiku are organized into three lines, with each containing a specific amount of syllables. Many believe a haiku should be organized into a pattern of five, seven, and five syllables. However, traditional Japanese haiku are not organized in this way, as the language does not use syllables but instead uses mora or rhythmic units. For this reason, Toren sometimes writes her haiku in a “relaxed” form that may have more or less than the common 17 syllables.
“Raven Braids the Wind” features haiku that take readers through all of the seasons of the calendar year, month by month. For the month of March, Toren writes, “My orchid blooms/ against a backdrop of/ winter rainstorms” and “Steady rain surges/ sifts through cedars/ thus purified.”
The book also features a collection of another type of Japanese poetry, similar to haiku, called senryu. Senryu are structurally similar to haiku, but differ in that rather than having elements of nature, they turn to the internal landscape of thoughts, ideas, and feelings, and may be satirical or ironic in nature. One such poem contemplates a sleepless night, saying, “In the wee hours/ there is no dreaming, just one thought/after another.”
A third section in the book features 40-some “questionable haiku,” all of an inquisitive nature, which Toren wrote all in one day. One haiku asks, “How would it sound/ the truth ringing like/ a grandfather clock?” Another ponders, “I heard a frog sing/ What else is there to/ know in this world?”
Toren continues to write haiku daily but is also working on other projects. She has plans to publish another book of poetry and also is writing a memoir that will feature anecdotes, both tragic and humorous, from her experiences as a teacher and about the essential aspects of learning.
Toren is also working on a poem for nonprofit BMCYF that will be displayed publicly as part of the West Point Art Path, a community “art walk” that is currently in the planning stages. Toren’s radio program, A Way With Words, airs on KQBM.org on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Toren also directs the Voices of Wisdom writer community for Manzanita Writers Press, which is a 55+ group for writers of all types. The group meets at the Manzanita Writers Press office in San Andreas.
Manzanita Writers Press formerly held a gallery, arts center, book store, and retail space in downtown Angels Camp, but that location closed permanently with the onset of the pandemic in 2020. Now, they occupy a business location at the Volunteer Center of Calaveras County in San Andreas, where they have workshops, meetings, and classes.
For more information, contact Director Monika Rose at manzanitawp@gmail.com, or leave a message at 209-728-6117. The Press also maintains an online bookshopwhere all of their published works, including Toren’s “Raven Braids the Wind,” are available for purchase. Manzanita Press will be in attendance with local authors, including Toren, at the Spring Wine Weekend event to be held at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys on Saturday, April 23. The Press is also hosting an online zoom poetry event, Poetry In The Motherlode, Saturday, April 30 from 2-4 p.m. The event will feature Toren’s poetry among others, and the public is invited to share as well. Registration is required in advance, by emailing lintoren@gmail.com.
Toren will also have an event for her book at Hein & Co Books in Jackson on May 7, from 2-4 p.m. and will perform a reading of “Raven Braids the Wind”at the Modesto Stanislaus Poetry Center on May 10. “Raven Braids the Wind”is available by contacting the author at lintoren@gmail.com or can be found online at manzapress.com, bookshop.org, and amazon.com.
For those interested in poetry, the application period for Calaveras County Poet Laureate is open through May 13. Visit calaverasreads.com or manzapress.com for more information.

By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler strolled off Augusta National with both hands in his pockets as if he had just finished a casual round at home in the late afternoon.
The Masters was anything but that Friday.
The wind roaring through the Georgia pines gave Tiger Woods and so many others all they could handle, a relentless fight from tee to green. And then Scheffler made it feel even tougher.
His 5-under 67 matched the low score of the day and gave him a five-shot lead, tying a Masters record after 36 holes. The last four players who led by five shots going into the weekend went on to win. The lone exception was Harry “Lighthorse” Cooper in 1936.
That brought little more than a shrug from the No. 1 player in the world.
“I think I’m still playing against the golf course out there,” Scheffler said. “And there’s a bunch of other guys in he field. So I can’t be paying too much attention to them either way.”
Scheffler is beating them all, along with an increasingly difficult Augusta National.
“You live on a knife’s edge every hole, honestly,” said Adam Scott, who played in Scheffler’s group. “And I was playing with a guy who made it look easy. But that’s how he’s playing at the moment.”
In his debut as the new No. 1 player in the world, Scheffler looked the part. He was bogey-free over the final 15 holes, played smart from the fairways and trusted every shot he faced even as the wind was as strong as it was fickle.
Scheffler, the 25-year-old Texas Longhorn, has won three of his last five starts on the PGA Tour and doesn’t appear to be overwhelmed by the stage of Augusta National.
“I put myself in position, where I’m in position to win this golf tournament. I couldn’t ask for anything more after 36 holes,” Scheffler said. “My game feels like it’s in a good spot. I’ve just got to keep doing what I’m doing and not overthink things.”
He was at 8-under 136, five shots clear of defending champion Hideki Matsuyama (69), former champion Charl Schwartzel (69), former British Open champion Shane Lowry (68) and 18-hole leader Sungjae Im (74).
Woods was nine shots behind, a daunting task even on two good legs.
Despite four bogeys after five holes, Woods patched together a 74 and made it to the weekend in his first 72-hole event since the November 2020 Masters.
“Hey, I made the cut. I got a chance going into the weekend,” Woods said. “I think it’s going to be the golf course that Augusta National wants. It’s going to be quicker, drier, faster. It’s going to be a great test.”
Former Masters champion Dustin Johnson (73) led a group at 2-under 142, while the bunch another shot behind included two-time major champion Collin Morikawa and former PGA champion Justin Thomas, whose 67 matched Scheffler for best of the day.
Two hours after the start of a glorious and calm spring day in Augusta, the wind arrived with a blast and players held on for dear life. Scheffler could see sand blow out of the bunkers. Flags were ripping. Scores were soaring.
“Felt like I went 10 rounds with Canelo,” Sergio Garcia said of champion fighter Canelo Alvarez. That was after a hard-earned 74.
Spieth hit two into Rae’s Creek and took triple bogey on the par-3 12th. At least this was on a Friday, though he wound up missing the cut when he made double bogey on the 18th.
Scott was trying to stay in the mix until he had a wedge spin back into the water on the par-5 15th, hit the next over the green and took triple bogey.
Scheffler had no such troubles, even if it didn’t feel that way.
“I definitely feel like I was in a fight today,” he said. “I guess the only thing I would say to that is maybe I just performed a little bit better.”
Scheffler got his mistakes out of he way early and began to seize control with two birdies right before making the turn. After a tough par save from right of the 11th green, he added two birdies from 12 feet on the par-3 12th and a tough pitch from well right on the par-5 13th.
By then, the wind began to subside in the late afternoon and Scheffler began to pull away with two more birdies that made him a clear and difficult target on the weekend.
And to think only two months ago he still didn’t have a PGA Tour victory.
Woods made it through another hike along the undulating terrain of Augusta National, his limp more noticeable from a right leg held together with rods and screws from his car crash 14 months ago.
“I don’t feel as good as I would like to feel,” Woods said with a smile. “That’s OK. As I said, I’ve got a chance going into the weekend. Hopefully, I’ll have one of those light bulb moments and turn it on in the weekend and get it done.”
His putter wasn’t helping any. All the key putts Woods made in the opening round weren’t falling Friday as he piled up four bogeys in his opening five holes, raising questions if his improbable return to the Masters would only last two days.
And now he has two more.
Coming off consecutive bogeys at the start of Amen Corner, he was headed for more trouble on the par-5 13th except that he missed badly enough to stay on right side of the tributary of Rae’s Creek, setting up a pitch-and-putt for birdie.
“It was tough for everybody,” Woods said, and before long came a wry smile. “Obviously, there’s a few people who aren’t struggling out there.”
One of those would be Scheffler, who has everyone’s attention.
Another was Thomas, with whom Woods played his practice rounds last week and in the days leading up to the Masters. He opened with a 76 and spent the rest of the day sulking at what looked to be a lost opportunity.
He capped off his 67 with three straight birdies along the back nine.
“I very easily could be going home right now, and not only am I not, but I’m in a really good spot going into this weekend,” Thomas said.
He was seven behind, nonetheless, though he wasn’t the least bit surprised Scheffler was able to post such good rounds to build a big lead.
“If I played how I should yesterday, I should be right there with him,” Thomas said. “This place, I love it because you can make so many birdies — even in conditions like this, if you plot your way around and know how to get it around, you can make a lot of birdies. It exposes you when it gets this windy if you don’t have control of your ball.
“He clearly has control of everything right now based off the last couple of months, so I’m not too surprised,” he added. “But yeah, I would appreciate it if he would stop going too far away.”

Tony Khan was mighty impressed by Wheeler Yuta's memorable performance on this week's AEW Rampage, where he took Jon Moxley to the limits.
Moxley and Yuta headlined the Friday night show, putting up arguably one of the best TV matches of the year in any promotion. While the former AEW Champion is no stranger to delivering incredible performances, the match on Rampage was the perfect showcase for Wheeler Yuta.
The ROH Pure Champion left fans stunned after Moxley could not put him down even after hitting two Paradigm Shifts. Moreover, though Yuta ultimately lost, it's worth noting that he didn't tap out but passed out.
AEW President Tony Khan was also in awe of the 25-year old's star-making performance as he put out the following tweet after Rampage went off the air.
Here's what he had to say:
"A star is born, @WheelerYuta #AEWRampage."
Check out Khan's tweet below:
After the grueling match on Rampage, William Regal and Bryan Danielson entered the ring, with the former offering Yuta a handshake. Though it wasn't explicitly conveyed, it's clear that the ROH Pure Champion has become the latest and youngest member of the Blackpool Combat Club.
Jim Cornette was unhappy with Wheeler Yuta's presentation in AEW
While the whole wrestling world is singing Wheeler Yuta's praises after this week's Rampage, a few days back, Jim Cornette slammed his presentation in AEW.
Cornette was unhappy with the sudden transformation in Yuta's character, saying it made little sense to present him as a 'goof' first and then as a serious competitor.
"Again, he's [Yuta] an athletic guy and a good-looking kid and he seems serious and besides his horrendous tights but you don't just bring a guy in and present him on television for several weeks as a goof and then just start moving him up the ladder. That's why nobody gets over. They're over when they come in and then, they get less over as they go along because of the way that they're utilized," Cornette said.
It will be intriguing to see if the former WWE manager changes his opinion following Wheeler Yuta's performance against Jon Moxley. With so much momentum behind him, it's safe to say Yuta could become a central focus of All Elite Wrestling's programming in the coming weeks and months.
Check out the results from this week's edition of Rampage here.

Inside Chernobyl: We stole Russian fuel to prevent catastrophe
By Yogita Limaye
BBC News, Chernobyl, Ukraine
- Published
The former nuclear power plant at Chernobyl in northern Ukraine was taken over by Russian forces on the first day of the invasion. It's now back under Ukraine's control. The BBC's Yogita Limaye is among the first journalists to look inside it since the Russians left.
On the afternoon of 24 February, Russian forces surrounded Chernobyl with tanks and armoured vehicles, entering Ukraine from the Belarusian border, just about 16km (10 miles) away.
About 170 Ukrainian national guards who secured the plant were taken to the basement and held captive there. Then Russian soldiers searched the premises for weapons and explosives.
Engineers, supervisors and other technical staff were allowed to continue working. In the next two days, teams from Russia's atomic energy agency Rosatom were brought in.
Chernobyl's staff were keen to keep control of the plant's maintenance. It's not a working power station, but radioactive waste is stored at the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster. Billions of dollars have been spent since the accident in 1986 to clean up and contain further contamination. If conditions at the site are not monitored properly, there is a major risk of the release of nuclear material.
"They wanted to know how the facility was managed. They wanted information about all the procedures, documents and operations. I was scared because the questioning was constant, and sometimes forceful," said Oleksandr Lobada, a radiation safety supervisor at the station.
On the top floor of the main building of the power station are key rooms from where the site is controlled, located on both sides of a long, narrow passage. Some of the rooms were locked. When the Russians didn't find the keys, they broke into the rooms, cutting out the portion of the door in which the lock was embedded.
"We had to constantly negotiate with them, and try hard not to offend them, so that they allowed our personnel to manage the facility," said engineer Valeriy Semonov.
When the power to the station was cut off for three days, Valeriy said he scrambled to find fuel to keep the generator running, even resorting to stealing some from the Russians.
"If we had lost power, it could have been catastrophic," Oleksandr explained. "Radioactive material could have been released. The scale of it, you can well imagine. I wasn't scared for my life. I was scared about what would happen if I wasn't there monitoring the plant. I was scared it would be a tragedy for humanity."
The area behind the plant called the "Red Forest" is one of the most radioactive places on earth. Drone footage released by the Ukrainian military shows that Russian soldiers dug trenches and even stayed there. This was also confirmed to the BBC by officials at the station.
It's evidence of how little the soldiers knew about nuclear safety.
Energoatom, Ukraine's state-run nuclear power agency, has said Russian soldiers were exposed to "significant doses" of radiation.
Just outside the sarcophagus which protects the damaged nuclear reactor, Russian soldiers piled up sandbags behind which they could hide if attacked. Valeriy scoffed at this, saying the Ukrainian military wouldn't dream of firing at a nuclear reactor.
Down in the basement of the main building, are dormitory style rooms which have been completely ransacked. The floor is littered with rugs, mattresses, clothes, shoes and other personal belongings of the Ukrainian national guard who were held there. Officials at Chernobyl say Russian soldiers looted what they could when they left, and they also took the captive members of the national guard with them.
"We were able to keep the site safe. But it's upsetting that they took 169 of our military," said Valeriy.
It's not confirmed where the men are being held, but Chernobyl's staff believe they are in Russia.
Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine's former president, visited Chernobyl on Friday with food and other supplies for the plant's personnel. Access to it has only just opened up through an off-road track. The bridge to Chernobyl was blown up to stop Russia's advance.
President Poroshenko has a warning for the world.
"Are we sure that tomorrow Russian troops cannot appear here? My answer would be no. Putin is completely unpredictable. And nuclear smoke is not limited by borders. It can reach Eastern Europe, Central Europe, and even Great Britain. The danger of nuclear contamination of Europe is very high, while Russia continues this war."

Alexander's terrific postseason run came to an end Friday as the Bulldogs lost 6-0 to Reagan in the Regional Semifinal.
Reagan's Aiden Phelan and Pato Tenorio scored goals in the first eight minutes. Tenorio scored the Rattlers' fourth goal on a penalty kick just before halftime.
Reagan (20-3-3, 13-0-3) was unlike any team Alexander had faced before, and it showed. The Bulldogs' accomplishment of playing in three straight Sweet Sixteens is remarkable nonetheless.
The loss was the final high school soccer game for Fernando Soldevilla, Eloy Cardenas, Carlos Granados, Emiliano Castellanos and Mark Polo, all of whom played in two Regional Semifinals in their decorated careers.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan announced Friday it is expelling eight Russian diplomats and trade officials and will phase out imports of Russian coal and oil, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida saying Moscow must be held accountable for “war crimes” in Ukraine.
Kishida said Japan will also ban imports of Russian lumber, vodka and other goods, and will prohibit new Japanese investment in Russia.
It will also step up financial sanctions against Russian banks and freeze assets of about 400 more individuals and groups, including military-linked organizations, Kishida said at a news conference.
He said atrocities against civilians and attacks on nuclear facilities in Ukraine are “severe violations of international law and are absolutely impermissible.”
“We are at a critical moment in our efforts to get Russia to stop its cruel invasion of Ukraine and restore peace. Everyone, please cooperate,” Kishida said, referring to the sanctions’ impact on Japan, such as higher prices for gasoline, electricity and food.
Earlier Friday, the Foreign Ministry announced it is expelling eight Russian diplomats and trade officials. European countries have already expelled dozens of Russian diplomats.
Kishida said the expulsion is based on a “comprehensive decision taking into consideration Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” He added that Japan will do utmost to ensure safety of Japanese nationals and companies still in Russia in case of a retaliation.
Europe and the United States have also stepped up sanctions against Russia, including restrictions on coal imports, following revelations of harrowing atrocities against civilians in Ukrainian cities.
Kishida said the additional sanctions are in line with an agreement by the Group of Seven industrialized nations.
Reduction of fossil fuel imports from Russia is a difficult choice for resource-poor Japan, whose hydrocarbon needs account for about half of its total energy mix. The decision could mean a shift for Japan’s energy policy toward more renewables and nuclear power.
Russia accounts for about 11% of Japanese coal imports and also ranks among the top exporters of liquefied natural gas and oil, according to government data.
Kishida said Russian coal is used industry-wide, from utility companies to cement and steel manufacturers. “We will have to assess the impact first, and will take steps toward Russian coal ban by securing alternatives,” Kishida said, declining to set a timeline for a total ban.
The measures agreed to by G-7 leaders include a phasing out or banning of imports of Russian coal and oil. Trade Minister Koichi Hagiuda said Japan plans to gradually reduce its energy reliance on Russia while seeking ways to reduce the burden on Japanese companies.
Japan had already imposed some sanctions, including freezing assets of top Russian officials such as President Vladimir Putin, restricting exports of goods including sensitive items with dual military use, and removing key banks from an international messaging system known as SWIFT.
Japan is taking a greater role in the international effort against Russia because of concerns about the impact of the invasion on East Asia, where China’s military has grown increasingly assertive.
Japan has already faced reprisals from Russia. Moscow recently announced the suspension of talks on a peace treaty with Tokyo that include negotiations over Russian-held islands which the Soviet Union seized from Japan at the end of World War II.

New mums invited to get active at Wigan park
New mums are being given a helping hand to get active at a Wigan park.
Non-profit organisation Baby Bump Fitness CIC is offering free, weekly sessions for mums to exercise through its Lottery-funded programme Walkin’ Talkin’ Mums.
It holds walks interspersed with post-natal exercises to rebuild strength in major muscles.
As well as getting active, women can meet other mums and receive support from a specialist post-natal instructor, who is also mental health first aid-trained.
Claire Gregory said: “Mums have been significantly affected during lockdown, both their mental health and the isolation has led to a reduction in self-reported physical activity. We understand the pressures new parents are facing in terms of finances, given the huge increases to utilities and fuel, and therefore we wanted to provide free access to parents so that they are able to access up-to-date information and safe exercise to support them through the post-natal period.”
Sessions start at 10am on Tuesdays at Mesnes Park, until October half-term. Book at theffa.as.me/wiganwtm

Over 150 years ago, a fruit and vegetable market stood where the Waverley Market stands today. Or is it the Princes Mall? Or the Waverley Shopping Centre?
Let's clarify - this space began life as the Waverley Market in 1869. It was roofed in 1847, and hosted a garden as well as different forms of entertainment. The roof was demolished in 1973, and before long a shopping centre was built on its grounds. Designed in the early 1980s, Waverley Market was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in July 1985.

With luxurious greenery and extravagant water features, Waverley Market housed independent retailers and proved popular with locals. By the early 90s, change was afoot.
Major refurbishment saw a large water feature in the main atrium, and many of the independent stores were dropping off. Another name change came in the early 00s, when the centre adopted the name Princes Mall - and the flashy touches were lost.
During this period, 12 of the retail units sat empty. Princes Mall remained in place until 2016, when the centre was officially reopened as Waverley Mall.
As it stands, the space has reverted to its original name; Waverley Market. A move that was done behind the scenes, with no grand reopening.
Also of note would be the opening of The Refillery, Edinburgh’s largest plastic free grocery store - which could signal a move back to more independent stores.
The shopping centre, under the name of Princes Mall, had dwindled in popularity over recent years with locals. One TripAdvisor review from Stuart G tells visitors: “Just pretend Princes Mall doesn’t exist.

“Please, just stop going here unless you need some shelter. This place is one of many embarrassments to the capital.”
Most shocking to visitors of Princes Mall was the charge for using the toilets, which has since been removed. The question is, what do locals think of the recent revert to Waverley Market - and did they even notice?
We asked members of the Lost Edinburgh Facebook Group what they thought of the centre - and the name. Mark Elliot told us: “Not too fussed on the shopping centre but I’m glad they ditched the Americanised name.”
Karen Aitken felt the centre was past its prime: “It used to be really good about 20 years ago, great shops and the bar as well, so bad now.
“I used to work in Morgan DeToi and we used to have catwalk shows, and it was always busy.”
One consistent memory amongst Lost Edinburgh members was the days of entertainment at Waverley Market, where fairs, circuses and exhibitions would regularly take place. Lesley Morton commented: “I remember those days when I used to go to the carnival and the ideal home exhibitions, pity they changed it.”
Evie Johnstone agreed: “The memories of Waverley Market. Down the stairs and into a big dusty hall for a big champion dog show, way way back.”
One thing was for sure - regardless of what the centre is branding itself as, most locals have been calling it the Waverley Market the whole time. Andrena Crawford told us: “I’ve never called it anything else.”
Nick Maycock agreed: “Always referred to it as Waverley Market. Confuses younger family members.”

A UK-born dog breeder has died after being caught in floodwater on the outskirts of Sydney.
The body of a 68-year-old man was found in his van on Friday morning at Cobbity some 43 miles south-west of Sydney’s central business district, New South Wales Police said in a statement.
Father-of-two Tony Ikin had been on the way to the Royal Easter Show, which is being officially opened by the Princess Royal on Saturday, when his car was submerged by rising floodwaters on Cut Hill Road.
Officers attached to Camden Police Area Command were assisted by a helicopter, divers and the NSW State Emergency Service to retrieve the body, police said.
Mr Ikin was reportedly a well-known and respected dog breeder and judge who was a regular at the Royal Easter Show. His Facebook page listed his birthplace as Birmingham.
His friend Robert Zammit described Mr Ikin as a “gentle soul” who would “help everyone”.
“Loved his dogs, of course, but just a gentle human being,” he told Australia’s Nine News.
“Tony was not the person who would take a risk. He left home to come to the Royal Easter Show early, it would have been dark.
“He must have thought it not too deep.”
The surrounding region of Camden is experiencing its third flood in a month, with the Nepean River encroaching on residents and businesses.
The country declared a national emergency last month following floods across large swathes of the east coast that have claimed dozens of lives.
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr Ikin’s death is underway and a report will be prepared for the coroner.

TORONTO (AP) — Finally back for opening day — and in a full house, at that — the upstart Toronto Blue Jays tapped into their potent offense for the biggest season-opening comeback in more than seven decades.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and the Blue Jays erased a seven-run deficit to beat the Texas Rangers 10-8 Friday night.
“We never panic,” Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernández said. “We know what we’re capable of and we trust in each other.”
For the first time since the pandemic, a capacity crowd of 45,022 packed in to see Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Jays in Toronto. They erupted when a video review ruled Hernández beat catcher Mitch Garver’s tag at the plate on Gurriel’s double, putting Toronto ahead 9-8 after trailing 7-0.
“I felt like I got my feet into home plate and he tagged me on top but it was really close,” Hernández said. “I couldn’t tell. Luckily I got safe. There’s not a better moment in a game like that.”
Even though shortstop Corey Seager’s relay throw beat Hernández to the plate, Rangers manager Chris Woodward didn’t fault Garver for not getting the tag down more quickly.
“If he had attacked that ball, it may have been a tough hop to catch, so he secured the baseball first,” Woodward said. “It was an inch, out or safe. I thought he did a pretty good job.”
The last team to win its first game after trailing by at least seven runs was the 1950 New York Yankees, who trailed 9-0 then beat Boston 15-10 at Fenway Park, per the Elias Sports Bureau. The only other team to overcome a seven-run deficit in its season-opening game was the 1901 Detroit Tigers, who erased a 10-run gap to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 14-13.
Blue Jays right-hander Adam Cimber (1-0) pitched one inning for the win despite allowing Adolis García’s tying home run in the seventh. Yimi Garcia worked the eighth and Jordan Romano finished for his first save.
Gurriel’s winning hit came off Rangers right-hander Dennis Santana (0-1), who allowed one run in 1 1/3 innings.
Hernández hit a tying, three-run home run off right-hander Josh Sborz in the fifth and Danny Jansen gave the Blue Jays some insurance with a solo blast off righty Greg Holland in the eighth.
The Rangers chased right-hander José Berríos in the first, scoring four runs before Toronto’s No. 1 starter could record his second out, then added two more runs in the second against left-hander Tayler Saucedo on Garver’s two-run homer.
Berríos retired just one of the seven batters he faced, allowing four runs and three hits, including Brad Miller’s leadoff homer. Berríos walked two and struck out none. He threw 34 pitches, 18 strikes, in the shortest outing of his career.
“I was trying to be too perfect, like too nasty, and I didn’t throw the ball over the plate,” Berríos said.
Nataniel Lowe’s RBI single off Trent Thornton in the fourth gave Texas a 7-0 lead. Toronto scored three runs off right-hander Jon Gray in the fourth and tied it on Hernandez’s two-out homer.
Making his Rangers debut after seven seasons with Colorado, Gray allowed three runs, all earned, in four innings before leaving after a blister on his middle finger cracked open.
“I kind of blame myself for not covering it up or doing something with it,” Gray said. “I understand. I don’t want it to get worse. I’d hate to miss the next start. I totally understand coming out there.”
Santiago Espinal gave Toronto an 8-7 lead with an RBI double off Sborz in the sixth.
AWARD SHOW
Before the game, former Blue Jays infielder and current Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien and Guerrero and Hernández were presented with their 2021 Silver Slugger Awards. Semien also got his Gold Glove, while Guerrero received his Hank Aaron Award from Billye Aaron, the late Hall of Fame slugger’s widow.
OPEN AND SHUT
Texas has lost eight of its past 10 opening day games and 17 of 25.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rangers: RHP Garrett Richards began the season on the 10-day injured list because of a blister on his right middle finger. RHP Jonathan Hernandez (elbow surgery) and RHP José Leclerc (elbow surgery) are on the 60-day IL.
Blue Jays: Toronto has two players on the 10-day injured list to begin the season. LHP Ryan Borucki is out with a strained right hamstring, while RHP Nate Pearson is sidelined with mononucleosis.
UP NEXT
Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (14-6, 2.81 with San Francisco in 2021) makes his Toronto debut Saturday against Rangers RHP Dane Dunning (5-10, 4.51 in 2021). Gausman last faced the Rangers in 2017.

One glance through the geopolitical lens and we can see how the Russian invasion of Ukraine transmutes the entire geo-economic landscape at a global level. Even though it is very likely that the conflict will culminate to a stalemate over table talks, the ramifications this impasse could have over China’s Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) are not only far reaching but dire.
From a neo-realistic point of view, one can reasonably infer that the magnitude of the Russo-Ukraine conflict will not only envelop the economic world with tremors but that the aftershocks of this dispute will reach the BRI and in essence CPEC and Pakistan as well.
Being at the epicenter of a plethora of global economic activities, the BRI might find itself washed up on dire straits at the European front after the situation in Russia and Ukraine diffuses. Encompassing 140 countries, the aftermath of the conflict could put a dent in the economic prowess of China and other countries. For China, the expansive flat Russian land serves as a viable route into the prosperous European markets.
Russia and its immediate neighbours might have wished for the proper deployment of the New Eurasian Land Bridge – an infrastructure based connectivity initiative mainly by railway – but Russia’s aggression towards its neighbours has thwarted its progression and has made this a pipedream for the entire Eurasian region. This also traps China and its BRI in limbo and could stick out as a proverbial sore thumb for the Chinese economy.
This railway corridor, dubbed as the ‘iron silk route’ is a highly sought after project for the BRI. The railway system had seen a massive overhaul in terms of the amount of goods being transported over the years. From a meager eight billion dollars to almost 75 billion dollars in 2021, the value of goods through this rail system has greatly skyrocketed. However, the problem is that most of the railway routes traverse their way through Russia. And with Russia on the cusp of being bamboozled with a plethora of sanctions, the ‘Iron Silk Road’ might get devoured by the ‘rust’ of Russian aggression. While transit through the sanctioned Russian railways is possible, the actual problem lies with the logistic companies that have halted all BRI-related trade through Russian land.
The onslaught of sanctions imposed on the Russians by the West will likely drive China to focus on developing CPEC at even greater pace as with Russia facing many sanctions, the only way for China to enter European markets easily will be either through CPEC and the Central Asia West Asia (CAWA) corridor. CPEC on the one hand can connect Iran and Turkey and by adjunct, Europe through both road and rail. Moreover, the CAWA corridor would provide the flow of trade via Central Asia, the Caspian Sea region and even Iran.
Therefore, Sino-Iranian relations can be seen ameliorated by the Sino-Iranian 25 year agreement, which will further strengthen the CAWA corridor. The central role that Iran is playing in trade can also be seen to further solidify as Iran could provide unsanctioned oil and gas to the EU, something that Russia had been providing for all these years. Russia’s actions might make Iran an economic powerhouse if its fossil fuels start reaching Europe. This could also leave the Russian government handicapped, as the ‘energy card’ the Russians have been playing will slowly lose its geopolitical influence and further sanctions on Moscow will become more likely.
Even though a handful of Western intellectuals are of the view that Russia’s situation currently may become the bone of contention for China when it comes to trading with the EU, last year the trade between China and Europe consisted of about 800 billion dollars and trade with Russia and Europe came to 200 billion dollars. On paper, these are huge numbers and in reality the lack of Sino-European trade actually makes up a bigger blow to Europe as well.
Even though China may be a strategic partner of Russia, it hasn’t forsaken Ukraine either. Ukraine has been a part of the BRI since 2013 and therefore has become its biggest trading and economic partner. A big chunk of Ukraine’s exports actually go to China, making the latter a huge market for Ukrainian goods. China has also been quick to send financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine in the wake of this conflict. This comes to show that China is eager to somehow regain its footing in this forsaken region.
The BRI is without a shadow of doubt the biggest geo-economic initiative in the world, even trumping the G7’s Build Back Better World (B3W), Japan’s QII and even the US led Blue Dot Network. Therefore, there is a huge chance that many Western powers might want unrest in the Eurasian region, Central Asia and even South Asia which would place a dent in the economic might of China and pave the way for the economic initiatives of the Western powers to dethrone BRI as the number one economic powerhouse in the world.
That said, even though it may seem that China has hit a dead wall with the whole Russo-Ukraine conflict, the country actually has other ways to keep its economic might from solidifying even more. Moreover, it’s not long until the situation in Russia and Ukraine will come to a peaceful end and China might find new ways to make both Russia and Ukraine important aspects of its economy as the Chinese are firm believers in diplomacy and getting things done peacefully.

NLNG Ship Management Limited (NSML), a subsidiary of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas NLNG Limited has achieved 84.6per cent indigenous crew capacity for all NLNG vessels. Also, the company has achieved Ecoport Port Environmental Review System (PERS) certification for the terminal, being the first to be so certified in the entire Sub-Saharan Africa. The Fleet Manager of NSML, Hambali Yusuf, who spoke at the annual conference organised by the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria SCAN in Lagos, explained that the company was targeting 100 per cent indigenous crew capacity for all the company’s fleet, adding that everything was being done to achieve that not too long from now. He disclosed that the company had over the time trained more than 150 Nigerian cadets on board its vessels, while over 200 cadets were being trained on the company’s vessels, noting that the company had made it a policy to train as many Nigerian cadets as possible. He noted: “Every year, we receive scores of applications from Nigerian cadets seeking to be trained on board our vessels. It is not everyone that applies that we engage and so we usually do a lot of screening to get what we want.
In training these cadets, we are conscious of the fact that the cadet you train today could be your officer tomorrow. We are also training many other Nigerians in many ship building and ship repair yards across the world, so for us, there is no end to building indigenous capacity.”

The team will be without returning quarterback Davis Brin, who is being held out for precautionary reasons after having a surgery on his non-throwing hand after last season. He played in all 13 games last season, completing 59% of his passes and throwing 18 touchdowns as the team finished 7-6, closing with a 30-17 victory over Old Dominion in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
Players to watch
Jayden Simon, Sophomore DL, No. 9
The Colorado-transfer played in eight games for the Buffaloes last season. Montgomery has been impressed by his ability to move at 315 pounds. Montgomery said Simon is “a guy that can demand a double team, but if you seem to block him, you better hold on because he’s going to get great movement.”
Nick Rempert, Junior WR, No. 9
Rempert, a Tyler Junior College transfer, has been an impressive playmaker for Montgomery since enrolling this spring. He began his college career at Northern Illinois as a defensive back. While transitioning to receiver at Tyler, Rempert caught 10 passes for 197 yards last season.
Marquis Shoulders, RS-Freshman WR, No. 4
Coming off his redshirt year, Shoulders is expected to be a contributor for the Golden Hurricane. Montgomery said the Katy, Texas-native has “made some good strides” and has stepped up this spring. The former three-star recruit was a two-year starter at Tompkins High School and scored 13 total touchdowns in seven games his senior year.
Scottie Alexander, RS-Freshman WR, No. 22
Montgomery said Alexander’s 95-yard touchdown reception from Cardell Williams during last Saturday’s scrimmage was “good to see.” Alexander averaged 16.3 yards per catch his senior year at Collerville High School in Tennessee.
Tyon Davis, Graduate CB, No. 0
Davis has “continued to up his game,” according to Montgomery. The Putnam City-native is the veteran in the secondary, having played in all 13 games last season, recording 75 tackles and 10 pass breakups.
LJ Wallace, Senior S, No. 22
Entering his third season with the Golden Hurricane, Wallace has “made strides” in his game, Montgomery said. He caught in interception during the second quarter of the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
Braylon Braxton, RS-Freshman QB, No. 1
In the absence of Brin, Braxton will be one of TU’s primary snap-takers. The dual-threat quarterback attended Independence High School in Frisco, Texas. He totaled 3,236 passing yards and 45 touchdowns his junior season.
Justin Wright, RS-Senior LB, No. 30
Wright tied first on TU’s tackles leaderboard last season with 82, appearing in 12 games. The veteran linebacker has been praised by Montgomery and defensive coordinator Luke Olson this spring for his experience and leadership.
Roman Fuller, RS-Sophomore QB, No. 10
Fuller completed 12-of-18 passes in last year’s spring game but did not throw a pass in a game last season. At Decatur High School in Decatur, Texas, Fuller threw for 9,002 total yards and 90 touchdowns while completing 66% of his passes.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he wants a tough global response to Russia after its forces fired a missile at a crowded train station, killing at least 52 people.
Zelenskyy's voice rose in anger during his nightly address late Friday, when he said the strike on the Kramatorsk train station, where 4,000 people were trying to flee a looming Russian offensive in the east, amounted to another war crime.
Russia denied it was responsible for the strike. Among those killed were children, and dozens of people were severely injured.
Photos taken after the attack showed corpses covered with tarpaulins, and the remnants of a rocket painted with the words “For the children" in Russian. The Russian phrasing seemed to suggest the missile was sent to avenge the loss or subjugation of children, although its exact meaning remained unclear.
The strike seemed to shock world leaders.
“There are almost no words for it,” European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters during a visit to Ukraine. “The cynical behavior (by Russia) has almost no benchmark anymore.”
The attack came as workers elsewhere in the country unearthed bodies from a mass grave in Bucha, a town near Kyiv, where graphic evidence of dozens of killings emerged following the withdrawal of Russian forces.
“Like the massacres in Bucha, like many other Russian war crimes, the missile attack on Kramatorsk should be one of the charges at the tribunal that must be held,” Zelenskyy said.
He said efforts would be taken “to establish every minute of who did what, who gave what orders, where the missile came from, who transported it, who gave the command and how this strike was agreed to.”
After failing to take Kyiv in the face of stiff resistance, Russian forces have now set their sights on the eastern Donbas region, the mostly Russian-speaking, industrial area where Moscow-backed rebels have been fighting Ukrainian forces for eight years and control some places.
Although the train station is in Ukrainian government-controlled territory in the Donbas, Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out the attack. So did the region’s Moscow-backed separatists, who work closely with Russian troops.
Western experts, however, dismissed Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov's assertion that Russian forces “do not use” that type of missile. A Western official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence, said Russia’s forces have used the missile — and that given the strike’s location and impact, it was likely Russia’s.
Justin Bronk, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London, added that only Russia would have reason to target railway infrastructure in the Donbas, as it is critical for the Ukrainian military's efforts to reinforce its units.
Bronk pointed to other occasions when Russian authorities have tried to deflect blame by claiming their forces no longer use an older weapon “to kind of muddy the waters and try and create doubt.” He suggested Russia specifically chose the missile type because Ukraine also possesses them.
British Defense Minister Ben Wallace denounced the attack as a war crime, and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it “completely unacceptable.”
Ukrainian authorities and Western officials have repeatedly accused Russian forces of atrocities in the war that began with a Feb. 24 invasion. More than 4 million Ukrainians have fled the country, and millions more have been displaced. Some of the grisliest evidence has been found in towns around Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, from which Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops pulled back in recent days.
In Bucha, Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk has said investigators found at least three sites of mass shootings of civilians and were still finding bodies in yards, parks and city squares — 90% of whom were shot.
Russia has falsely claimed that the scenes in Bucha were staged.
On Friday, workers pulled corpses from a mass grave near a church under spitting rain, lining up black body bags in rows in the mud. About 67 people were buried there, according to a statement from Prosecutor-General Iryna Venediktova's office.
Zelenskyy cited communications intercepted by the Ukrainian security service as evidence of Russian war crimes, in an excerpted interview with CBS' “60 Minutes” that aired Friday.
“There are (Russian) soldiers talking with their parents about what they stole and who they abducted. There are recordings of (Russian) prisoners of war who admitted to killing people,” he said. “There are pilots in prison who had maps with civilian targets to bomb. There are also investigations being conducted based on the remains of the dead.”
Zelenskyy's comments echo reporting from German news magazine Der Spiegel saying Germany's foreign intelligence agency had intercepted Russian military radio traffic in which soldiers may have discussed civilian killings in Bucha. The weekly also reported that the recordings indicated the Russian mercenary Wagner Group was involved in atrocities there.
German government officials would not confirm or deny the report, but two former German ministers filed a war crimes complaint Thursday. Russia has denied that its military was involved in war crimes.
Elsewhere, in anticipation of intensified attacks by Russian forces, hundreds of Ukrainians fled villages that were either under fire or occupied in the southern regions of Mykolaiv and Kherson.
Ukrainian officials have almost daily pleaded with Western powers to send more arms, and to further punish Russia with sanctions, exclusion of Russian banks from the global financial system and a total EU embargo on Russian gas and oil.
NATO nations agreed Thursday to increase their supply of weapons, and Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger announced on a trip to Ukraine on Friday that his country has donated its Soviet-era S-300 air defense system to Ukraine. Zelenskyy had appealed for S-300s to help the country “close the skies” to Russian warplanes and missiles.
A senior U.S. defense official said Friday that the Pentagon believes some of Russia's retreating units were so badly damaged they are “for all intents and purposes eradicated.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal military assessments.
The official said the U.S. believes Russia has lost between 15% and 20% of its combat power overall since the war began. While some combat units are withdrawing to be resupplied in Russia, Moscow has added thousands of troops around Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, he said.
In Kharkiv, Lidiya Mezhiritska stood in the wreckage of her home after overnight missile strikes turned it to rubble.
“The ‘Russian world,’ they say,” she said, wryly invoking Putin’s nationalist justification for invading Ukraine. “People, children, old people, women are dying. I don’t have a machine gun. I would definitely go (fight), regardless of age.”

Voter turnout
Seriously, the turnout was indeed very sad. I wish people understood that there is a direct linkage between voters showing up and diversity of representation in government offices.
A farmer’s shoes
Have you ever walked a day in the shoes of a farmer? Apparently not. The cost of putting in a crop is so high. I have a friend who farms about 3,000 acres and his fuel expense last year was $50,000, he budgeted $100,000 this year. They gamble that the weather will be kind to them, no drought, the fertilizer, chemicals will not be out of reach financially speaking which they are because of Biden. So before you open your mouth just walk in a farmer’s shoes first.
Petroleum reserves
Biden’s plan to release 1 million BPD from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve for 180 days is only an obvious political ploy and, much worse, a dangerous one. It will have little, if any, impact on world oil prices or the price Americans pay at the pump. But it reduce our strategic reserves by a third at a time when the world may be on the precipice of a war that won’t be contained without U.S. involvement. Biden making a futile gesture at “reducing inflation” is one thing, but putting the country at risk is quite another.
New superintendent
Good! He deserves it and will be great. I was impressed the first time he came in our building!
Have worked with Dr. Van Zyl and Gabe on several projects for the school district. Gabe is a straight shooter an very good with the business side of the district. That’s what the SJSD needs.
I think hiring Dr. Edgar is a good choice, but the process was very questionable. Unfortunately, some people may take out their concerns about the process on him, which would be unfair.
College education
Most jobs that require a college education really shouldn’t. I have one of those jobs. Everything I need for this job I learned while working here.
Population decline
It’s all the people that don’t want change and never want to do anything good for our school district.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is urging owners of a popular Mocka cot to check it for mould after the consumer watchdog received a number of reports of “potentially dangerous” mould on the cots base.
Owned by furniture company Adairs, Mocka released a statement acknowledging the issue was “very concerning” and had commissioned laboratory testing alongside a detailed investigation to understand the factors that have caused the mould growth and said the reports started after a recent bout of wild weather.
While an official recall has not been issued, the consumer watch dog advises anyone who identifies mould on their Mocka cot to immediately cease use and contact Mocka Australia and the ACCC.
The country’s east coast has waded through an onslaught of rain this year, with Sydney weathering its annual rainfall little more than three months into the year, resulting in perfect conditions for mould growth.
The extent of the issue was first publicised by Sydney mother Katie Williams who discovered a particularly bad case of mould on the bottom of her five-month-old daughter’s cot and sounded the alarm on social media.
“Since talking about it, I have spoken to hundreds of parents that either has had this happen to their Mocka cot or know someone it has happened to,” she wrote on Instagram, accompanied by photographs of other mouldy Mocka cots.
“If your child is showing symptoms of mould exposure like congestion, sneezing, coughing, respiratory distress, allergies or other irritations, please contact a doctor as soon as possible,” the ACCC statement said.

BEIJING (AP) — A series of deaths at a hospital for elderly patients in Shanghai is underscoring the dangerous consequences of China’s stubborn pursuit of a zero-COVID approach amid an escalating outbreak in the city of 26 million people.
Multiple patients have died at the Shanghai Donghai Elderly Care hospital, relatives of patients told The Associated Press. They say their loved ones weren’t properly cared for after caretakers who came into contact with the virus were taken away to be quarantined, in adherence to the strict pandemic regulations, depleting the hospital of staff.
Family members have taken to social media to plea for help and answers and are demanding to see surveillance video from inside the facility after getting little to no information from the hospital.
The conditions and deaths at the hospital are a sharp rebuke against China’s strategy of sticking to a zero-COVID policy as it deals with the outbreak in Shanghai in which most of the infected people don’t have symptoms. With a focus on forcing positive cases and close contacts into designated collective quarantine facilities, the costs of zero-COVID may be outweighing the risk of getting sick.
Shen Peiming, 71, was one such casualty. She died Sunday morning at the hospital, without any relatives by her side. A family member said they have been calling the hospital non-stop to find out the circumstances of Shen’s death, but have not gotten a clear answer. “How many times have there been lockdowns since 2020? They still don’t have experience managing this?” the family member said.
All they know is her doctor and nurses had not been there to care for Shen, who was partially paralyzed after a stroke. Her last nursing assistant had been quarantined for being a close contact of a positive case, the relative said, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution. An unfamiliar worker called to inform them of her death. Later, the hospital said it was due to a chest infection.
The hospital had a COVID-19 outbreak, the family heard from orderlies, but Shen had tested negative as of last week.
Shanghai authorities have reported no deaths from this outbreak, but questions have been raised about the reliability of the data. A city health official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said that the criteria for confirming cases and deaths are very strict and susceptible to political meddling.
It is unclear how many patients have died at the hospital, and whether any died of COVID-19. Families say they are talking with other families whose relatives have also died. An article from Chinese news outlet Caixin describing the deaths and infections was taken down shortly after it was published, apparently targeted by censors. Calls to the main office of Donghai Elderly Care went unanswered. The Shanghai government did not respond to a faxed request for comment.
Most experts agree that China’s zero-COVID approach was highly successful in keeping deaths to a minimum when there were limited drugs or vaccines. But now that shots are widely available in China, and with the advent of the omicron variant, many say the government should abandon the policy and focus medical resources on the elderly and vulnerable instead.
Instead, Shanghai has locked down its 26 million people and carried out repeated mass testing to tackle an outbreak driven by the highly contagious omicron BA.2 variant. On Saturday, the city reported more than 23,000 new local cases, of which only 1,015 had symptoms.
“If you’re asymptomatic, what’s going to hurt you?” said Ray Yip, the founding director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control office in China, who maintains close ties with Chinese health officials. “The only people who get sick are those with diabetes, obesity, chronic disease, old people. Protect those people. You can protect them.”
A low vaccination rate among the elderly, though, remains a concern. Only 62% of Shanghai residents over 60 have been vaccinated, according to the latest data available. Some experts support the strict approach, saying China needs to raise that rate before it can safely live with the virus.
The U.S. guidelines for asymptomatic cases, as in the U.K., are that individuals isolate at home for five days. In Shanghai, workers are rushing to set up massive temporary facilities in exhibition halls and elsewhere to try to house everyone who tests positive.
The citywide lockdown has disrupted daily life and the economy. Many residents, trapped in their apartment buildings, are scrambling to buy food through apps and place bulk orders with neighbors. Some in quarantine have posted videos showing chaotic scenes of people rushing to get food and a lack of clean toilets. Others have posted pleas for relatives who need medicine urgently.
The U.S. said Friday that it is allowing the voluntary departure of non-essential personnel and family members from its consulate in Shanghai because of the situation.
The government has trumpeted its success in curbing COVID-19, touting it as evidence of the superiority of China’s governing system — especially compared to Western democracies, where deaths have far exceeded China’s. That narrative, experts said, is making it difficult for Beijing to switch tactics.
“They bragged too hard to their own people about how wonderful they are, and now they’ve painted themselves into a corner,” said Yip. “The only way they can control Shanghai now is to repeat what they did in Wuhan.”
The 11 million residents of Wuhan were locked down for more than two months at the start of the pandemic in 2020.
Shanghai’s lockdown is an abrupt about-face from just a month ago, when some Chinese health experts publicly suggested softening pandemic control measures.
The city’s economic importance and advanced healthcare system left officials reluctant to impose strict measures and confident about combating any outbreaks. Further, Chinese leader Xi Jinping ordered that ongoing outbreaks in China be controlled at “minimum cost” in mid-March, emphasizing Beijing’s desire to protect the economy while curbing the virus.
Shanghai took targeted steps, locking down individual office buildings, shopping centers and neighborhoods for 48 hours at a time but otherwise allowing life to go on as usual.
With the soft measures, the city’s case count rose. The outbreak spilled over to at least 71 other cities, according to a notice posted by Guangxi province in southern China, and pressure grew for harsher measures.
On March 28, the city started an eight-day lockdown in two phases, which has since evolved into a citywide one with no end in sight.
“There is no time to waste,” Chinese Vice Premier Sun Chunlan said on a visit to the city last weekend, according to a government statement. “We need to move forward faster and harder to provide strong support for the elimination of cases in society.”
The actions sent nurses and doctors into quarantine, causing conditions to worsen at Donghai Elderly Care.
Chen Jielei said the outbreak at the hospital infected her unvaccinated, partially paralyzed 81-year-old mother. Because staff members also fell ill, her mother wasn’t served meals on time and her sheets were unchanged for days. After a few days, a replacement worker started taking care of her.
A college professor who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was afraid of retribution, said his family wasn’t notified for more than a day after his 82-year-old father died on March 31. His last contact was on March 28 with a nursing assistant who called to warn there were positive cases and they could no longer take care of his father.
“In those three days, what happened to my father? What kind of mistreatment did he suffer?” he asked. His father’s condition had been stable on March 28 when he spoke with the nursing assistant.
Shen had lived on and off in the hospital for three years after her stroke. Family members visited every week. But visits were banned in early March as the COVID-19 outbreak spread through Shanghai, the relative said.
They were not worried initially because the hospital had always been very responsive and they were in contact with the nursing assistants who took care of Shen. But one orderly warned on March 26 there were positive cases and many of Donghai’s staff were being quarantined.
The hospital hired temporary nursing assistants, but many did not have healthcare experience, one nursing assistant said.
The woman, who gave only her last name of Zhang, said an employment agency told her it was a cleaning job.
“They said your work is just to clean, you won’t even have to wear a protective suit. But what they said was completely different from what I had to do,” she said.
Shen needed to be assisted with eating through a tube by having her food blended into a liquid. She also had a tube in her throat that had to be disinfected each day.
“In the past, if there was an issue, they’d always call me. This time, there wasn’t even a voice message, and she died so suddenly,” the relative said. Now the hospital is asking the families to sign a form to cremate the deceased. Shen’s relative said the family will refuse until they get a clear answer.
The hospital sent an apology letter Wednesday to some of the families. The AP has viewed a copy.
“Because of the outbreak’s emergency, and many of the seniors had not been vaccinated, this caused those with severe underlying illness and weak health to die,” it said.
While Chinese government researchers have begun exploring ways to end zero-COVID, the government continues to punish officials with large outbreaks on their turfs.
“The space for discussion is now eliminated,” said Yanzhong Huang, a public health expert at the Council for Foreign Relations in the U.S. “The message is loud and clear: zero-COVID, no exceptions.”

Covid isolation rules are SCRAPPED for airport workers after staff shortages caused massive delays - as Qantas CEO Alan Joyce is slammed for 'queue-jumping'
- Travel chaos at Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports for third day running
- Delays of up to two hours made for a painful start to the school holidays for many
- Check-in queues snaked out of the terminals and onto the pavement outside
- NSW Health added airport workers to list of critical workers exempt from iso
The check-in chaos at Sydney airport has led to airport workers suddenly being exempted from Covid close contact rules.
Any air transport services workers - including airline check-in staff - exposed to Covid-19 can now go to work if they have no symptoms, after three days of outrage over long customer delays in airports.
It is believed Qantas boss Alan Joyce, who copped a huge backlash after he blamed passengers for being unprepared when checking in, reached out to NSW health minister Brad Hazzard, who relaxed the rules.
The number of airport staff in home isolation after being exposed to someone in their household with Covid was understood to be a cause of staff shortages at Sydney airport.
Most airport staff previously had to stay home for seven days, but now they can go to work, so long as they undergo a rapid antigen test each day for seven days after being exposed.
Combined with a surge in passenger numbers, staff shortages have created long check-in queues stretching up to 1km long and wait times in excess of two hours for three straight days.
Chaotic delays at Australia's biggest airports are continuing for a third straight day as the school holidays begin and Covid-hit airline staff struggle to cope
Daniel Capurro, Javiera Martinez and their children at a hotel after domestic flight delays left them stranded in Sydney. The family say they have been mistreated by Qantas
The delays have been occurring in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, but only Sydney has relaxed rules for airline staff so far.
Previously the only air transport workers exempt as 'critical workers' were 'air and sea freight and logistics' workers.
Chaotic delays at Australia's biggest airports continued for a third straight day as the school holidays began and Covid-hit airline staff struggled to cope.
NSW and Victorian school holidays started on Saturday and families had a frustrating start to their breaks with more delays of up to two hours at major airports in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Passengers who arrived at 5.30am for 7am domestic flights at Sydney on Saturday were greeted with the terminal crammed with people rapidly growing frustrated by long, slow-moving lines.
On Thursday and Friday check-in queues stretched out for up to 1km long in scenes not seen at Sydney airport for years.
The airport chaos was being repeated on Saturday as the public rediscovered the travel bug at the same time as airlines were struggling with Covid-affected staff numbers.
'First day of our first holiday in 2-plus years going well,' tweeted Sydneysider Penny from a packed domestic terminal.
'Who at Sydney Airport woke up one morning and said “we won’t need to look at surge capacity for Easter school holidays travel” then went back to sleep? Do Better!'
Another traveler, Luke, noted he saw only two staff helping to direct the sea of people waiting that had already formed by 6am.

One Melbourne family say they have been mistreated by Qantas, after domestic flight delays left them stranded in Sydney.
Javiera Martinez, her partner Daniel Capurro and their three children aged 14, seven and eight were supposed to be flying to Chile on Friday to visit relatives they had not seen in three years.
But after their 8am Qantas flight from Melbourne was delayed by half an hour, baggage handling and airport transfer delays in Sydney meant they couldn't make their 11.30am flight to Santiago.
'We think Qantas didn't behave appropriately, I got berated by the person at the counter, they never apologised, they never assumed any responsibility at all,' Ms Martinez told AAP.
'It was a rude conversation, we have been mistreated badly I would say.'
There were concerns the chaotic airport scenes will only continue into next week with Easter starting next weekend (pictured, Sydney airport)
Qantas has since apologised to the family.
While the airline paid for a hotel Friday night, the family doesn't know when they can make it to Chile for what was to be a two-week trip.
They are among many affected by travel hold-ups amid the busiest travel period in two years, with Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports warning passengers to arrive two hours before domestic flights.
'It’s not good at Tullamarine either. Had to wait 75 minutes for luggage, the excuse given “man power issues”. Not good enough Qantas,' one traveller tweeted.
Brisbane's domestic airport was frantic, experiencing its heaviest day of passenger traffic for two years on Friday, with 51,000 people using the terminal.
There were concerns the chaotic scenes will only continue into next week with Easter starting next weekend.
Melbourne airport used social media to warn travelers they needed to arrive three hours early for international flights and two hours ahead of departure for domestic flights.
That is an hour earlier than usual recommended arrival times - but even that didn't seem to alleviate delays with jam-packed terminals leading to fraying tempers.
The delays are being caused by a combination of an increased desire to travel, reduced staff numbers, partly due to Covid-affected workforces, and what Qantas chief Alan Joyce called passengers not being 'match fit'.
On Friday he claimed many were not properly prepared for security scans, for instance forgetting to remove aerosol cans and leaving laptops in cases, which slowed up queues.
Some passengers who saw the Qantas CEO in transit noted that he appeared to jump the queues, only worsening their moods.
Joyce later backtracked saying he didn't intend to blame passengers.
Qantas also faced renewed criticism on social media over job cuts it made during the pandemic.
The airline sacked 2,000 ground crew - baggage handling and cleaning workers - in 2020 and were taken to the Federal Court by the Transport Workers Union.
On social media some observers said they would rather cop a 10 hour drive or eight-hour train trip than the chaos in airport terminals this week.

Happy birthday (Apr. 9): You'll like how the world molds to your vision. Somehow you find a way to dominate the factors that once seemed so out of your control and elevate your entire scene. You're expected to play a role; you'll do it in a way that pleases and fulfills you. Though unconcerned with approval, life goes easier for you because of the applause.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You know how to spot a bad situation and avoid it. Some situations are, however, unavoidable. The best you can do is to keep moving forward with as much grace as possible.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When you like people, you'll go out of your way to see them smile, alleviate their stress or make them feel comfortable. Doing this for someone you don't know or dislike... that's nobility.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Once you see things you can't un-see them. That's why it's good to be careful about where you go and what you click on. Imagine what's behind the doors before you open them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Ideally you eat to live, not live to eat. Your appetite is strong now for more than just food. Make it easy on yourself. Surround yourself with people who have a healthy consumption style. You can catch good habits by osmosis.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Before deciding, consider the perspective of time. If something won't bother you a month from now, don't let it bother you now. If it won't please you a month from now, don't do it, commit to it or purchase it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What is best for everyone? Considering the many opinions expressed, picking the right one seems complex ... until you realize most people are speaking out of self-interest. Who really has the group's best interests at heart?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Education can be extremely expensive or completely free. A library or the internet provide access to the greatest minds in history. Taking advantage of this today is extremely advantageous.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Everyone needs to be listened to, seen and loved. That said, you're not the only one in the world with ears, eyes and a heart. Give to the degree that feels good to you and know that it's enough.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The emotional currents are varied and strong today. Luckily, they only come one at a time. Stay open and let the emotions flow through you. You won't stay stuck in one for long.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Neatness is not the same as style, but when things are neat, clean and organized it is easier to see your way to choices that will elevate the style.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To believe everything serves a purpose will relax you. Whether this is true matters very little. From the relaxed place you will recognize your next good move and keep going forward.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ease is attractive. Strain is unattractive. This rule will be exemplified throughout your day. You'll create ease and people will want to be a part of what you're doing.
RAW DAYS OF VENUS IN PISCES
These first few days of Venus in Pisces have a way of opening our hearts, making us receptive to the feelings of others and increasing our vulnerability in the process. Don’t be afraid to feel and to love. Showing emotion isn’t a sign of weakness; rather, it’s an indicator of your humanity.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: In another astrologically auspicious career move for Elle Fanning, the television series “The Girl from Plainville” will premiere in her birthday month. Releases near a lead actor’s solar return get a special boost of cosmic good fortune. Fanning is a high-energy Aries born when the sun, Mercury, Mars and Saturn were all in the realm of the warrior and Venus and Jupiter were in artistic Pisces.

South Jacksonville's board of trustees is full for the first time since December after three trustees were sworn in Thursday.
Trustees approved two additions and a third was appointed by Village President Dick Samples.
Steve Retzer and Tom Luber were selected to fill seats left vacant by the resignations of John Stewart and Stacy Pinkerton in March.
Retzer said wanted to be involved because he loves the community. He said his biggest challenge will be keeping up with everything taking place in the village.
Luber said he wanted to get more involved in the village.
"I want to try and serve my community," Luber said. "I want to bring whatever my experience has lent me to the board."
He said it will take some time for him to learn the policies and procedures of the board.
Former trustee Todd Warrick was appointed to fill a vacancy left by the resignation in December of Megan Davidson.
Warrick had resigned in May, citing issues within the village administration.
He said he hopes to work on projects to improve the community, including construction of a new water tower and improvements to Dewey Park.

Abhishek Bachchan is an actor with an impeccable sense of humour and wit. While he may be known for serious or intense roles, the actor brought in new flavour with his latest social comedy 'Dasvi', which also stars Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur.
While promoting the film, junior Bachchan, who is a doting dad was asked about his daughter Aaradhya's safety given that her pictures often get leaked on social media.
Abhishek told Indian Express, "You’ll shoot her whenever she steps out of the house. It is what it is. There is no point analysing it. She is the daughter of two actors, the granddaughter of actors as well. Her mother teaches her to be very thankful and humble about the fact that people will want to see her, appreciate that and don’t take it as a privilege."
"My wife had told me about it when, she was much younger that it is going to happen any which ways, so we got to accept it," he added.
For the unversed, Aaradhya was born in 2011, four years after Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's wedding.
Abhishek is now hoping to receive good reviews for his upcoming film 'Dasvi', which revolves around an 8th grade pass out politician, Ganga Ram Chaudhary (essayed by Abhishek), who lands behind bars following his involvement in a teacher recruitment scam. He eventually decides to follow his dream of completing his 10th from jail.
Helmed by Tushar Jalota, 'Dasvi', which also features Nimrat Kaur and Yami Gautam, released on Jio Cinema and Netflix on April 7.
Meanwhile on work front, Abhishek will next be seen in the remake of the Tamil film 'Oththa Seruppu Size 7'.
'Oththa Seruppu Size 7', released in 2019, was produced, written and directed by R Parthiban, who has also acted in the movie and is the only character.
Bachchan is also looking forward to R Balki's next directorial venture 'Ghoomer', which marks the second collaboration between the actor and the director after their 2009 film 'Paa', which also featured Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson injured his hand Friday in a crash during practice at the Long Beach Grand Prix. The seven-time NASCAR champion said he needed further evaluation.
Johnson did not remove his hands from the steering wheel — standard practice in open wheel racing but not common in NASCAR — as his car headed into a tire barrier. The force from the collision caused his hands to snap off the wheel and Johnson's in-car camera showed him shaking his right hand.
He did not participate in the IndyCar driver autograph session and was inside the Chip Ganassi Racing hauler with medical staff. When the autograph session ended, Johnson posted a video on Twitter that showed his right arm heavily wrapped and in a splint.
“As you can see, I’m a little banged up here and have a splint on,” Johnson said. "First and foremost, apologies to the fans at the autograph session I wasn’t able to attend. Clearly I’ve got something else going on here.
“I’m on my way to be further evaluated just to get a good honest look and understand what my options are. I really don’t have any clarity at this point. And I look forward to updating you all very soon.”
The race is Sunday.
Ganassi has potential replacements in Long Beach because his four sports car drivers compete in the IMSA race on Saturday, and Sebastien Bourdais would be the likely candidate as he just stepped away from IndyCar this season.
“I think he's got to run some tests to see how he feels,” Bourdais said after winning the pole for the IMSA race. “If the team wants me to jump in the car, we'll try to do whatever they want me to do, but they are going to ask him and we're not there yet. I just really hope that he is going to be fine and can race this weekend.”
Johnson, in his second season of IndyCar after nearly 20 years in NASCAR, is coming off a career-best finish of sixth that energized an audience eager to see him race in next month's Indianapolis 500.

Court documents: Victim in Red Top Motel shooting was shot in head during drive-by
UPDATED: Fri., April 8, 2022
A woman shot late last month at the Red Top Motel was struck in the head during a drive-by shooting, according to court documents.
Police arrested Joshua W. Seth, 30, on Wednesday on suspicion of two counts of first-degree attempted murder, two counts of first-degree assault, drive-by shooting, first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm and attempting to elude police, according to the Spokane County Jail inmate roster.
Seth, a felon, made his first court appearance Thursday in front of Spokane County District Court Judge Patti Walker. He remained jailed Friday with a $1 million bond.
About 30 minutes prior to the March 30 shooting, Kevin Beaver met Seth at the Safeway parking lot on East Trent Avenue to collect “a few hundred dollars” that Seth reportedly owed him, Beaver told detectives. After collecting the debt, Beaver returned to the Red Top Motel where he was staying with his wife, Natalie Beaver.
The Beavers and at least one other acquaintance were in a room at the motel around 11:45 a.m. when Beaver said he heard several gunshots from outside the room, documents said. He then noticed his wife was shot in the head and called 911.
Surveillance video from the Red Top Motel and a nearby business show a silver sport utility vehicle like Seth’s 2019 Nissan Pathfinder traveling east on Trent Avenue around 11:45 a.m., according to documents. As the car passes the motel, nine gunshots can be heard on the nearby business’ video recording. Nine fired .45-caliber cartridge cases were recovered in and along Trent Avenue in front of the motel, documents said.
One of the motel’s recordings show bullet damage outside of the Beavers’ room, documents said. At least two of those defects were caused by bullets that passed through the room’s exterior wall and door. Natalie Beaver’s black 2008 Cadillac STS, parked in the motel lot at the time of the shooting, also was struck by a bullet.
Around 5:30 p.m. the next day, Seth and a female left a residence at 5615 S. Zabo Road, south of the Spokane International Airport, and drove away in Seth’s Nissan Pathfinder, a deputy said in the documents. The deputy and other investigators attempted to stop the vehicle, but Seth reportedly sped away in excess of 90 mph. Deputies then stopped the chase.
At the Zabo Road residence, investigators found a .45-caliber cartridge from the closet of a bedroom identified by the homeowners as belonging to Seth and his girlfriend.
Shortly after Seth allegedly fled from deputies, he arrived at his father’s Spokane Valley home and said something like, “They’re coming for me,” Seth’s father told detectives. Seth allegedly hid his Pathfinder in the fenced backyard of the home and a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol.
While searching the home, investigators seized the Pathfinder and the pistol, which was loaded with the same brand .45-caliber cartridges found at the Zabo residence and outside the motel, according to documents.
Anneke M. Long, 23, was also arrested Wednesday on suspicion of first-degree rendering criminal assistance tied to the shooting, according to the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. She remained jailed Friday on a $5,000 bond.
Cpl. Mark Gregory, sheriff’s office spokesman, said Natalie Beaver was still in the hospital Wednesday.

Covid isolation rules are SCRAPPED for airport workers after staff shortages caused massive delays - as Qantas CEO Alan Joyce is slammed for 'queue-jumping'
- Travel chaos at Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports for third day running
- Delays of up to two hours made for a painful start to the school holidays for many
- Check-in queues snaked out of the terminals and onto the pavement outside
- NSW Health added airport workers to list of critical workers exempt from iso
The check-in chaos at Sydney airport has led to airport workers suddenly being exempted from Covid close contact rules.
Any air transport services workers - including airline check-in staff - exposed to Covid-19 can now go to work if they have no symptoms, after three days of outrage over long customer delays in airports.
It is believed Qantas boss Alan Joyce, who copped a huge backlash after he blamed passengers for being unprepared when checking in, reached out to NSW health minister Brad Hazzard, who relaxed the rules.
The number of airport staff in home isolation after being exposed to someone in their household with Covid was understood to be a cause of staff shortages at Sydney airport.
Most airport staff previously had to stay home for seven days, but now they can go to work, so long as they undergo a rapid antigen test each day for seven days after being exposed.
Combined with a surge in passenger numbers, staff shortages have created long check-in queues stretching up to 1km long and wait times in excess of two hours for three straight days.
Chaotic delays at Australia's biggest airports are continuing for a third straight day as the school holidays begin and Covid-hit airline staff struggle to cope
Daniel Capurro, Javiera Martinez and their children at a hotel after domestic flight delays left them stranded in Sydney. The family say they have been mistreated by Qantas
The delays have been occurring in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, but only Sydney has relaxed rules for airline staff so far.
Previously the only air transport workers exempt as 'critical workers' were 'air and sea freight and logistics' workers.
Chaotic delays at Australia's biggest airports continued for a third straight day as the school holidays began and Covid-hit airline staff struggled to cope.
NSW and Victorian school holidays started on Saturday and families had a frustrating start to their breaks with more delays of up to two hours at major airports in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Passengers who arrived at 5.30am for 7am domestic flights at Sydney on Saturday were greeted with the terminal crammed with people rapidly growing frustrated by long, slow-moving lines.
Combined with a surge in passenger numbers, staff shortages have created long check-in queues stretching up to 1km long and wait times in excess of two hours for three days (pictured, a Qantas staff member checks passenger documentation in November 2021)
On Thursday and Friday check-in queues stretched out for up to 1km long in scenes not seen at Sydney airport for years.
The airport chaos was being repeated on Saturday as the public rediscovered the travel bug at the same time as airlines were struggling with Covid-affected staff numbers.
'First day of our first holiday in 2-plus years going well,' tweeted Sydneysider Penny from a packed domestic terminal.
'Who at Sydney Airport woke up one morning and said “we won’t need to look at surge capacity for Easter school holidays travel” then went back to sleep? Do Better!'
Another traveler, Luke, noted he saw only two staff helping to direct the sea of people waiting that had already formed by 6am.

One Melbourne family say they have been mistreated by Qantas, after domestic flight delays left them stranded in Sydney.
Javiera Martinez, her partner Daniel Capurro and their three children aged 14, seven and eight were supposed to be flying to Chile on Friday to visit relatives they had not seen in three years.
But after their 8am Qantas flight from Melbourne was delayed by half an hour, baggage handling and airport transfer delays in Sydney meant they couldn't make their 11.30am flight to Santiago.
'We think Qantas didn't behave appropriately, I got berated by the person at the counter, they never apologised, they never assumed any responsibility at all,' Ms Martinez told AAP.
'It was a rude conversation, we have been mistreated badly I would say.'
There were concerns the chaotic airport scenes will only continue into next week with Easter starting next weekend (pictured, Sydney airport)
Qantas has since apologised to the family.
While the airline paid for a hotel Friday night, the family doesn't know when they can make it to Chile for what was to be a two-week trip.
They are among many affected by travel hold-ups amid the busiest travel period in two years, with Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports warning passengers to arrive two hours before domestic flights.
'It’s not good at Tullamarine either. Had to wait 75 minutes for luggage, the excuse given “man power issues”. Not good enough Qantas,' one traveller tweeted.
Brisbane's domestic airport was frantic, experiencing its heaviest day of passenger traffic for two years on Friday, with 51,000 people using the terminal.
There were concerns the chaotic scenes will only continue into next week with Easter starting next weekend.
Melbourne airport used social media to warn travelers they needed to arrive three hours early for international flights and two hours ahead of departure for domestic flights.
That is an hour earlier than usual recommended arrival times - but even that didn't seem to alleviate delays with jam-packed terminals leading to fraying tempers.
The delays are being caused by a combination of an increased desire to travel, reduced staff numbers, partly due to Covid-affected workforces, and what Qantas chief Alan Joyce called passengers not being 'match fit'.
On Friday he claimed many were not properly prepared for security scans, for instance forgetting to remove aerosol cans and leaving laptops in cases, which slowed up queues.
Some passengers who saw the Qantas CEO in transit noted that he appeared to jump the queues, only worsening their moods.
Joyce later backtracked saying he didn't intend to blame passengers.
Qantas also faced renewed criticism on social media over job cuts it made during the pandemic.
The airline sacked 2,000 ground crew - baggage handling and cleaning workers - in 2020 and were taken to the Federal Court by the Transport Workers Union.
On social media some observers said they would rather cop a 10 hour drive or eight-hour train trip than the chaos in airport terminals this week.

According to the Colombia Transparente initiative, nearly 300,000 voting juries in the last legislative elections of March 13 voted twice, once at the table where they were carrying out the oversight and the other on which they had their ballot papers registered.
On the RCN Radio station they consulted with the leader of this organization, Sergio Alzate, who assured that the bad performance was calculated.
“This was not spontaneous, the more than 600,000 voting juries deliberately, premeditated and planned by the registrar, were able to vote twice, that's how more than 300,000 of them did,” he said.
According to the oversight they carried out, it was found that those appointed to watch over the March 13 elections had paid at the tables where they were carrying out their work and at the table where they had their ballot papers registered.
“It is verified by the minutes that are contrasted with the appointing resolutions in which they vote as voting juries in a position. But in this same place and at another table, they vote as citizens,” he added at the station.
Meanwhile, the television news report Noticias RCN indicated that the evidentiary material for this double vote will be added to a complaint that had been filed with the Attorney General's Office, where they had already started the process in October 2021.
In addition, they argued that the software they used in the Registry Office allowed the profiling of juries to favor people close to registrar Alexander Vega.
“The jurors found that the national registrar himself sent the profile of the types of juries he would choose for congressmen and congressional candidates, so that people with those profiles would be selected and that, in turn, their elections favored them,” Alzate said in that news.
These allegations are known precisely when the Attorney General's Office announced a disciplinary investigation into Vega for the rest of the irregularities that would have occurred in the congressional elections.
Attorney General Margarita Cabello Blanco indicated that this decision was taken on the basis of repeated complaints expressed by different citizen and political sectors, and on the analysis of information carried out by the Public Prosecutor's Office, which correspond to the multiple anomalies that occurred in the midst of the legislative elections.
“The investigation seeks to determine whether the registrar could commit disciplinary offenses related to alleged irregularities in state selection and recruitment and a possible omission in voting control functions and in the training of juries,” the prosecutor explained through a video.
He also indicated that the watchdog opened a preliminary inquiry to some Registrar officials into the irregularities that had occurred in the processes of registration of ballots or the transfer of voting stations during election day, in which the new conformation of the Congress was defined as controversial issues. the single candidates of the political coalitions who will compete in the first presidential round.
On the other hand, he assured that the Elite team of the Public Prosecutor's Office, consisting of four delegated procurators, had already taken the first decisions regarding the 1,600 complaints received and 400 complaints, determining that 33 disciplinary proceedings were opened for possible irregularities committed by juries for voting, vote buying, constraint on the voter and errors in the registration of ballots.
The investigation by the Attorney General's Office seeks to determine whether its functions were exceeded by requiring biometric identification of voters, allegedly in ignorance of the legal provisions governing the matter, as well as irregularities in the selection and hiring of the company Indra Sistemas S.A. , because of the existence of situations that would jeopardize the transparency of the selection and procurement procedure of that company and in the event of an alleged conflict of interest”.
Likewise, the Public Prosecutor's Office seeks to identify whether there was an “omission in its functions in relation to decision-making aimed at avoiding irregularities and ensuring due vigilance and control in the pre-counting of votes, in view of its functional duties, as well as failure to perform its functions due to deficiencies , shortcomings or omissions in the training of voting juries.

Stewart Cink gifts son/caddie a birthday hole-in-one on 16 at Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. — What a birthday reward!

A gang of thieves pulled off an extraordinary heist by stealing a 60-feet bridge from Bihar’s Rohtas district by chipping off and dismantling the seldom used steel-framed structure.
Over the last five years, thieves had been slowly chipping off the 500-tonne bridge after an adjacent concrete bridge was functional and in use, reports said. But locals were stunned to see the 45-year-old bridge on the Ara-Sone canal disappear overnight suddenly.
Reports say that the accused posed as state irrigation department officials to start the heavy work of taking the bridge apart. Even local administration and residents, conned by the thieves, helped in the daylight robbery. It took around three days for the whole con.
Bulldozers and gas torches were used by the thieves to deconstruct the bridge, police said, adding an FIR (First Information Report) has been lodged.
The bridge was very old and hence not in use, reports say. Locals had started using the concrete bridge instead of the steel one giving the thieves a significant leeway.
There was much chatter among locals about the heist at Amiyawar village, around 120 km from Bihar capital Patna, that has also seen sand theft amounting to Rs 200 crore in the last year.
Bridges have also been stolen in the United States, Ukraine and Czech Republic in the past.

Islamabad [Pakistan], April 9 (ANI): Proceedings of the Pakistan National Assembly session with the specific mandate to take up the no-confidence motion against the Imran Khan-led government and the election of the new leader of the House got underway on Saturday.
Heavy security has been deployed outside the Pakistan National Assembly in Islamabad ahead of the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government, which is slated to be taken up in the House shortly.
Members of Pakistan's National Assembly (MNAs) have begun arriving at Parliament House ahead of the no-trust vote against Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government in line with the deadline set by the Supreme Court.
Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz, and other MNAs have started arriving at the National Assembly, reported Geo News.
The Supreme Court had on Thursday ordered the incumbent government to face the no-confidence motion on Saturday. The court had turned down the ruling of the Deputy Speaker to reject the no-confidence motion on the grounds of the move being "unconstitutional" and brought as part of a "foreign conspiracy".
The top court's directives came after Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial took suo motu cognisance of Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri's ruling and the subsequent dissolution of the National Assembly, declaring all the decisions unconstitutional.
As per the order of the Supreme Court, voting is to be held at all costs today and in case the PM is voted out, the election of a new Leader of the House will be held during the same session. The voting on the no-confidence motion is at the fourth position in the six-point agenda issued for today.
Speaker Asad Qaiser can not take up agenda other than voting on the motion, and if he did not do so, he would have to face contempt of court proceedings, reported Geo News.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Opposition has submitted the no-confidence motions against the Speaker and Deputy Speaker. However, Asad Qaiser can chair today's session according to the rules.
The National Assembly officials told Geo News that according to the SC larger bench's written order, the NA Speaker has been made duty-bound to proceed with the no-trust motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government as per the April 3 agenda of the House.
The NA officials said that the voting on the no-trust motion could take place within seven days of its submission and last Sunday (April 3) was the last day of voting. So, SC's larger bench ordered the Speaker to revive the April 3 agenda of the National Assembly and conduct voting on the no-confidence motion, they added. Therefore, today (April 9) will be considered the last day (seventh day) of voting on the no-confidence motion and it is essential to move with the set agenda, reported Geo News.
The NA officials said if the no-trust motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan succeeds, the National Assembly session will be prorogued till Sunday for the election of the new Leader of the House and the National Assembly Secretariat would begin with its necessary documentation.
The NA Secretariat has prepared forms for the nomination of the new Leader of the House and those forms would be issued as soon as the session is prorogued and scrutiny of the nomination forms will be completed till night and the list of the candidates for PM's slot will be issued at night and after that, the National Assembly will elect new Prime Minister on Sunday.
To a question that the government wants to hold a debate on the issue of the letter shown by Imran Khan in its rally on March 27, alleging foreign conspiracy to topple his government, the NA official said it was impossible. They said the government will have to submit a separate resolution in the NA Secretariat for the debate on the letter and briefing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs secretary to the House and will have to seek the permission of the House if the House should be converted into a standing committee. The Opposition enjoys its majority in the House, so it can reject this resolution, reported Geo News.
When asked if the government tried to get the voting on the no-trust motion delayed for a day or a week, the NA official said that in this situation, the NA Speaker would violate SC's larger bench order and should get ready to face a five-year disqualification and contempt of court.
Despite Imran Khan-led PTI government's hectic efforts to avoid voting on the no-confidence motion, the National Assembly will decide the fate of the premier today.
Meanwhile, the ruling party has prepared its strategy to scuttle the proceedings and delay the voting by asking its MPs to give lengthy speeches on the 'foreign conspiracy", reported Geo News.
The same was endorsed by Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chauhdry.
Talking to Geo News, he said that the foreign secretary is going to brief the House on the "threat letter", so the voting on no-confidence may not happen and maybe deferred till next week. (ANI)

The 'experience' at Klyde Warren Park takes it up a notch
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - In 2012, Klyde Warren Park was designed as a way to help unite Dallas. Ten years later, that vision is being reimagined, but the overall goal remains the same.
Klyde Warren Park President Kit Sawers said the goal was "to celebrate what we have in common. People who vote different from each other, and look differently from each other, and worship differently from each other….and bring them together to share these common traditions and experience to unite our community. It's been a gift that keeps on giving, and we're grateful for it."
Sawers oversaw the $20 million reinvested to enhance one of Dallas' crown jewels. The funds came from private donors, just like the rest of the 5.2 acre park. In Sawers' words, "I think there's something about Dallas that's a very can do attitude. It's not about being daunting. It's like who can we get together to help make this happen. This is what our city needs. 'How can we do it?' Let's go for it."
And go for it they have. The improvements, which are scheduled to be completed this summer, will radically improve the park's layout. The children's playground will be expanded from 12,000 to 18,000 square feet. It's one thing to admire the finished product, it's another to see how it compares to where things stand now.
At the corner of Woodall Rogers Freeway and Olive Street, the "My Best Friends Park" has already been finished. It's a park for the ultimate dog lovers. Sawers said, "It's really created not just a visiting community, but a live-in community and I think that's my favorite part."
And just across the street, imagineers are finishing up work on the ultimate chill spot: the Nancy Best Fountain. When it's finished, each side of the triangular structure will be 100 feet long. And just like all of the other improvements, it's sure to make a big splash.
Klyde Warren Park Executive Vice President Tricia Linderman said, "I just think this park has been so important to so many people, but especially to kids. If you come any weekend it is filled with kids."
Sawers concluded, "It's something that can improve our area, and that's something everyone can be proud of."
