Too posh to push: Why we must call time on damaging anti-caesarean birth stigma
As hospitals in England drop limits on offering caesareans, Kate Townshend reflects on the dated approaches surrounding how women give birth
Five months ago, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy via caesarean section. My labour hadn’t gone wrong, and no medical advice had necessitated it. I simply chose to.
Yet this choice seems to be one that people make all sorts of assumptions about – from the grumpy and reluctant consultant who told me how foolish I was, to the “too posh to push” brigade who categorise women who have elective C-sections as superficial or cowardly.
The truth is that caesarean sections are not simply “failures” of vaginal births – and women’s reasons for choosing them are both universally valid and incredibly diverse.
For me, it was all about the predictability and certainty a C-section offered. After years of infertility, endometriosis, IVF and miscarriage, I wasn’t willing to take my chances with the induction the doctors insisted I needed. The decision saved my final months of pregnancy from descending into an abyss of misery and anxiety – and my experience in the end was incredibly calm and positive.
It’s why I’m thrilled that hospitals in England have finally been told to abandon arbitrary targets aimed at limiting the number of babies born via the method, and sadly not at all surprised that this moral weighing of birth options may well have led to tragedy in the past. (The Ockenden report, an investigation into baby deaths and injuries at the Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust, has suggested that mothers were sometimes denied caesarean sections due to an alleged preoccupation with hitting ‘normal’ birth targets.)
For Suzanne Hatcher*, a traumatic experience giving birth vaginally with her first child led directly to her choice of a caesarean section with her next baby. “My experience giving birth to my first child was, frankly, dehumanising and led to me developing PTSD,” she explains. “I felt unsafe and abandoned during large parts of labour and my son was born using forceps in the end.”
In fact, her experience was so impactful that before becoming pregnant for the second time, Suzanne arranged a meeting with a consultant who was receptive to her wishes for a carsarean section – and she came away with a letter stating she wouldn’t be denied the procedure. “It felt so positive to make the decision myself, to have control and do it the way that felt safest,” she says. “It was empowering. I’d advise other women considering how to give birth to look at your own medical position, your own values and your own perspective on risk. And really make sure the resources you consider represent information in an unbiased way.”
Unfortunately, finding resources that give a clear picture can be challenging. Traditionally, evidence around sections has been poor quality, with many past studies lumping emergency and planned procedures together (an issue acknowledged by NICE in their information on the benefits and risks of vaginal and caesarean birth).
And as Pauline McDonagh Hull, director of the voluntary organisation Caesarean Birth and author of Choosing Caesarean, a natural birth plan explains, good information is vitally important when women are considering how to give birth. “We really need greater balance in antenatal communication,” she says. “Generally, a vaginal birth is considered the default option for all pregnant women, so unless a specific risk is identified, or they already know to ask about a caesarean, it isn’t discussed. Greater understanding and respect is needed around offering caesarean birth to more women, not only not denying their requests. Until and unless this happens, avoidable deaths and injuries will continue.”
Sometimes, the reason a woman chooses an elective caesarean section may be something most people won’t have considered at all. This is certainly the case for Lauren Frost: “My first son, Leo, who was conceived via IVF after six years of trying, was born prematurely and passed away eight days later,” she explains.
“The trauma from his birth, having been told for three weeks each day to prepare to say goodbye, meant I was terrified of my subsequent births triggering further trauma. I insisted that I wouldn’t cope with a vaginal birth for my second child and that I needed a section.”
It’s hard to imagine a more obviously valid experience, but even then, Lauren’s choice was not straightforwardly accepted. “I had the teardrop to show baby loss on my maternity notes but was met with judgement and questioning at every appointment. There is absolutely a stigma still attached to elective sections.”
Thankfully, the births of Lauren’s son Teddy and then daughter Lily, both via elective section, were positive. “They were managed well by the midwives who were incredibly supportive throughout. A caesarean certainly isn’t the easy way out – it’s major surgery – but having a choice in how your baby enters the world and managing anxiety around that is so important.”
The common thread running throughout Suzanne and Lauren’s stories is one of trauma, for various different reasons, in their first birth experiences. And Kim Thomas, CEO of the Birth Trauma Association confirms that this is not unusual when women are requesting sections: “Some women after a traumatic first birth want an elective section to avoid having the same kind of experience again. A lot of them feel genuinely terrified, having been through a difficult or complicated labour that has ended with an emergency C-section or forceps birth, or led to severe tearing or postpartum haemorrhage.”
But despite the fact that Kim suggests women who have elective caesareans in these circumstances usually report a positive experience, they often still have to fight for the choice in the first place.
“We find that trusts vary widely in their willingness to offer maternal request caesareans, some even in cases where the woman is clearly deeply traumatised by her previous experience. Health professionals will often minimise the woman’s concerns and play down the traumatic nature of her previous birth, which can add substantially to a woman’s feelings of fear and distress.”
Of course, like my own, there are also reasons beyond trauma why a woman might choose to give birth via elective caesarean.
Sian Downes has always known she would prefer to give birth in this way when the time came: “I suffer from vaginismus, meaning that basically my body completely tenses up, making it a miracle I even got pregnant,” she says. She was able to arrange her section early on in her pregnancy, saving her a great deal of stress and anguish. “I told my midwife at 15 weeks, so I knew very early on that this was handled. The relief of knowing that I was getting a C-section and that I didn’t need to fight for one allowed me to enjoy my pregnancy!”
Despite this, Sian also acknowledges the baggage that is often attached to sections. “It feels like, as a woman who has had a C-section, you aren’t allowed to say you’ve given birth because it wasn’t ‘natural’. So there certainly is still a major stigma – as if we aren’t living up to our female duties. It’s frustrating but for me I was determined not to soak up any of that negativity, especially when I found out there were no medals at the end!”
In lots of cases, distinctions are drawn between caesareans where there is some medical indication – and those where there isn’t – often called maternal request caesareans. But sometimes, things aren’t quite this clear cut. Bec Wooderson found herself pregnant with an unusually large baby and faced with difficult decisions as a result: “I was overdue and my baby was measuring big at 10lb 1oz. I also have hyperthyroidism [a condition that can increase the risk of pregnancy complications]. Even after three stretch and sweeps, [a procedure designed to encourage labour] my little boy still wasn’t wanting to go anywhere!”
In the end, an overheard discussion made up Bec’s mind. “From the ward room I overheard the midwives and consultant at the front desk having a conversation that essentially went something like ‘well because of her age and her condition and the fact that the baby is big, the baby will probably get stuck.’ I had three options, to do nothing, be induced or have an elective C-section. In the end I decided it wasn’t worth risking depriving my baby of oxygen and the possibility of them having brain damage, so I took the elective C-section route.”
What all of this shows perhaps, is that despite the stereotypes, there is no single set of reasons or character traits that might cause a woman to choose an elective C-section. And despite my own positive experience, it isn’t the caesarean section itself that I think really mattered, but the free choice of how I gave birth.
Certainly, this was the key for Helen Every, who suffers from tokophobia – an extreme fear of labour. Before she started having children, she ensured she had a letter from a consultant promising her a planned caesarean section. “I had to get it in black and white before even thinking about getting pregnant,” she says. But actually, knowing she was free to make this decision if she needed to allowed her to make a different one. “In the end knowing I could have a section helped me immensely and I chose to have my baby vaginally,” she says.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A measure to suspend Maryland’s gas tax for 30 days is headed to Gov. Larry Hogan for his signature.
State lawmakers gave the bill final approval on Friday, and the Republican governor is planning to sign the legislation later in the day.
[Stream the governor’s signing ceremony on CBS News Baltimore at 2 p.m.]
The measure comes as governors and state lawmakers around the nation have been calling to suspend gas taxes, because of skyrocketing prices that could go up even higher after the country cut off Russian oil imports.
The bill would suspend Maryland’s gas tax of 36 cents a gallon for 30 days. A driver of a vehicle with a 12-gallon tank could save about $4.32 a fill-up. The measure takes effect as soon as Hogan signs it, though it’s unclear exactly when the price drop would be seen at most gas stations.
The average price of gas in Maryland was about $4.16 on Friday. The state estimates it would lose about $94 million in revenue under the 30-day suspension.

Which KitchenAid blender is best?
Whether you like to start every day with a fresh smoothie, make frozen cocktails for parties or whip up milkshakes for the kids, a blender is usually a must-have kitchen appliance. If you want a top-notch model, you can’t beat a KitchenAid blender when it comes to features and performance.
KitchenAid offers a wide range of blenders so that you can choose from high-performance models, standard countertop options and even immersion blenders. The KitchenAid High Performance Series Blender is the top choice if you want a top-of-the-line blender with great, convenient features.
What to know before you buy a KitchenAid blender
Blender type
KitchenAid offers three main types of blenders:
- KitchenAid high-performance blenders provide the most powerful motors, so they can handle nearly any food, including pulverizing ice with ease. These models can even mix heavy batters, create nut butter and knead dough. However, they are the most expensive KitchenAid blenders.
- KitchenAid standard countertop blenders aren’t as powerful as high-performance models, but they can still handle plenty of tasks in the kitchen. They can effectively blend up smoothies, shakes, frozen cocktails, dips and sauces. Some standard models are more powerful than others, though, so you’ll need to shop around to find the best fit for your needs.
- Kitchen immersion blenders are commonly known as hand or stick blenders because they’re handheld models without a jar. That allows you to bring the blender directly to a pot or bowl to blend ingredients. They work incredibly well for making soup and sauces. KitchenAid immersion blenders are usually the most affordable models, though some come with extras like a whisk or chopper and cost a little more.
Horsepower
You can measure a blender’s motor power in horsepower. KitchenAid high-performance blenders usually offer 3.5 HP, while standard countertop blenders typically run at approximately 0.5 to 1 HP. To learn more, check out the complete KitchenAid blender buying guide at BestReviews.
Capacity
A KitchenAid blender’s jar capacity determines how much you’re able to blend at a time. KitchenAid blender jars typically range from 50 to 90 ounces. Since immersion models don’t have a jar, you can blend in a container of any size with one of these blenders.
Consider how many servings of your morning smoothie or how large a batch of soup you usually make to decide how large a jar you need.
What to look for in a quality KitchenAid blender
Controls
KitchenAid blenders can have a few different control styles. Some models feature buttons, while others have dial controls. Some high-end models even feature a touchpad. All types can work well, but touchpad controls are typically the easiest to clean because there aren’t any nooks and crannies for food residue to become trapped.
The controls that a KitchenAid blender typically offers include multiple speed settings and preset programs for extremely user-friendly operation.
Heating function
Some blenders offer a heating function that allows you to cook and blend soups and sauces without needing to turn on the stove. This is a rare option in KitchenAid blenders, so make sure to read the product specifications carefully if this feature is critical to you.
Jar shape
The jars that come with KitchenAid blenders are either round, square or diamond-shaped. While round jars are the classic option, square- and diamond-shaped models create a more effective vortex to pull the ingredients toward the blades. That helps ensure that your recipe blends until entirely smooth.
Color
Depending on the model, KitchenAid blenders are available in a range of colors. Some blenders only come in three or four shades, but others are available in as many as 15. You can find many neutral options, such as black, white or silver. However, some models also come in bolder colors like red or blue.
How much you can expect to spend on a KitchenAid blender
Depending on the model, you’ll usually pay $50-$600 for a KitchenAid blender. KitchenAid immersion blenders are typically the most affordable, with some models costing as little as $35 and high-end options topping out at $350. Standard countertop models generally cost $100-$200, and high-performance blenders are the most expensive, ranging from $300-$600.
KitchenAid blender FAQ
Do KitchenAid blenders have dishwasher-safe components?
A. It depends on the model, but most KitchenAid blenders have jars, blades and accessories that you can clean in the dishwasher. As a result, these models are the easiest to clean.
What recipes can I make with a KitchenAid blender?
A. A KitchenAid blender can whip up various foods, including basics like smoothies, milkshakes, sauces and dips. High-performance models can make even more recipes, such as nut butter, soups and super-smooth frozen cocktails.

CHEYENNE — A jury on Monday found a Cheyenne day care worker guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Kristina Eileen Croy was charged in Laramie County District Court following the September 2019 death of an 8-month-old girl who was in her care at the time.
Croy pleaded not guilty to the charge in July 2020. Croy was accused of placing the infant in a too-small swaddling device against her mother’s wishes and against state guidelines. She was also accused of directing an employee of her day care to lie to police following the incident and of changing her story about the incident.
The infant, who was referred to during the trial and in court documents as “M.G.,” was identified by family members as Malia Gavagan.
Involuntary manslaughter, a felony, carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.
The jury came back with the guilty verdict around 4:30 p.m. Monday, following about five hours of deliberation. The trial began March 28, and closing arguments took place Monday morning.
Marcia Bean, the county and prosecuting attorney for Big Horn County, was appointed to prosecute the case.
The victim’s grandmother, Eileen Gavagan, worked for former Laramie County District Attorney Scott Homar and maintains a connection with current Laramie County DA Leigh Anne Manlove, who worked as a prosecutor in Homar’s administration.
Bean said Tuesday that the trial, which she said was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and filings by the defendant, was a long time coming. The prosecutor said she was “very happy” that the case was close to a resolution.
“I’m glad for the Gavagans, and I believe that it was an appropriate verdict. The jury worked hard, and so I’m satisfied with how it all came out,” Bean said in an interview.
Eileen Gavagan told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle on Tuesday that “it was very difficult to remain quiet and emotionless” during the roughly five-day trial.
But as the jury’s guilty verdict was read, “finally we could breathe,” she said.
“The family members and those that loved Malia Gavagan are so grateful for the hard work of the prosecution team,” Eileen Gavagan wrote in an email. “We appreciated the jury’s attentiveness in the trial despite the very difficult circumstances and the emotions that arise when hearing about a child’s death, and seeing videos and photos of a deceased child.
“We are grateful that we had this precious child for 8 months (and) 21 days, and we will forever miss her,” she continued. “We hope for healing and peace and look forward to the sentencing hearing.”
Croy’s attorney, Dion Custis, gave a short statement to the WTE on Tuesday.
“It was an incredibly sad case — a very tough case for anyone to consider, including the jury,” he said.
In his opening argument in the trial, Custis called Malia’s death a “tragic accident,” and said Croy had not done anything criminal. Custis said Croy likely wouldn’t have taken the child into her care if she’d known about Malia’s “health issues,” which he said included being born premature and her mother’s use of marijuana while she was pregnant.
Croy’s attorney said the child was taking medication for acid reflux, but that Croy did not know this. He also referred to Malia as having “breathing issues” and “chronic lung disease.”
Custis said there was documentation that the child could not roll over on her own, meaning it would not have been unsafe to place her in a swaddling device, he said.
Regarding the accusation that Croy had changed her version of events, Custis said the day care worker had been “in a frantic state of mind” following the incident.
In Bean’s opening argument, she said Malia’s mother, Julianne Gavagan, stopped using marijuana when she found out she was pregnant.
Bean characterized the infant as “active” and “healthy” immediately before her death.
Croy remains free on bond pending sentencing.
Eileen and Julianne Gavagan also filed a wrongful death lawsuit in May 2021 in Laramie County District Court. The suit, which names Croy and her day care as defendants, has a scheduling conference set for May 9.
The criminal charge stemmed from a Sept. 25, 2019, incident.
The Cheyenne Police Department responded to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center that afternoon, following the report of a deceased infant, according to a probable cause affidavit written by CPD Detective Allison Baca.
Malia Gavagan had been in Croy’s care. Croy operated the day care “It’s a Child’s World They Matter,” which was licensed by the Wyoming Department of Family Services, the affidavit said.
Croy told law enforcement that she’d found Malia at about 1:20 p.m. that day face down on the living room floor. The child was not breathing and had no heartbeat.
Croy said she yelled for her then-18-year-old daughter to call 911.
Croy said that, at about 12:30 p.m., she’d put Malia in a “little sleeper,” which is described in the affidavit as a swaddling device that zips up to the neck with Velcro flaps, restraining a child’s arms. Croy told police she had to use the “swaddler” for prevention of sudden infant death syndrome.
The Mayo Clinic describes SIDS as “the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old.”
Croy said Malia’s mother knew she used the swaddling device, a version of events the parent contradicted.
After putting Malia in the device, Croy put the child on the floor on her back. She described looking over “a couple times” and seeing the infant had “dozed off.”
In at least one instance, Malia had rolled over, which Croy said she didn’t like, so she rolled the child onto her back. When she checked on the child again, Croy said Malia was lying face down and not breathing.
She said another day care employee stayed with the other children – 11 additional small children and infants – as her daughter called 911 and Croy began CPR. At this time, Croy said she heard Malia gurgling and noticed her lips were turning purple.
Croy said that, at the time of the incident, she was in the kitchen cleaning and doing paperwork, moving between the rooms.
Both Croy’s daughter and the second day care employee later contradicted Croy’s account in interviews with law enforcement, according to the affidavit. They said the second day care employee had been at lunch during the incident.
Croy’s daughter said a neighbor had come over to help watch the children while waiting for the employee to return.
The day care employee “immediately reported (in the police interview) that Croy had asked her to lie and say she was there at the time of the incident,” the affidavit said.
Croy contacted a Department of Family Services employee after the incident and asked her to come to the hospital. Croy initially gave the DFS worker similar information to what she provided to law enforcement, though she did not tell the DFS worker she’d found Malia face down, as she’d apparently told law enforcement.
Croy added that, although her home day care had cameras, she did not know if they’d been recording. Croy said she’d noticed the night before that the camera in the living room, where Malia had been at the time of the incident, was pointed toward the ceiling.
In an interview with the DFS worker about a month later, Croy changed her story, according to the affidavit.
She told the DFS worker that Malia could not roll over independently, and when she checked on Malia at one point, the infant’s head was “turned,” and she was not breathing.
Malia’s mother, Julianne Gavagan, told police the infant had no health problems and was not sick on the day she died.
Julianne added that Malia could sit up and “frequently rolled from her back to her stomach,” and had “on occasion” rolled from her stomach to her back, but that it was difficult for her, the affidavit said.
The swaddling device Malia was wearing the day she died had a sewn-in tag indicating it was for babies three to six months old and between 13-18 pounds. It measured 22.5 inches long. Also on the tag were the words: “STOP swaddling when your baby shows signs of rolling over or breaking out of the swaddle.”
At the time of her autopsy, the 8-month-old weighed 19 pounds and was 25 inches long.
An autopsy report concluded Malia died of positional asphyxia, meaning the infant’s position had prevented her from breathing properly.
The DFS worker provided Detective Baca with documentation that showed Croy had been trained in “safe sleep practices,” including that babies should not be swaddled “without a written statement and instructions from physician.”
Wyoming Child Care Licensing Rules say: “Sleeping infants shall not be swaddled without a licensed healthcare professional statement, including instructions and a time frame for swaddling an infant, on file. Swaddling is prohibited for infants that have the ability to roll over independently.”

“Gooder Friday,” I used to call it on those rare occasions, like this year when Good Friday and Passover fell on the same day. It opened a window of mutual celebration for me with my Christian friends, making it a double Good Friday. As a Jewish minority, both in the town and the school where I grew up in Virginia, I was delighted to be able to come out of isolation and celebrate with everyone else.
Even if their moms were baking ham and mine was making brisket, the fact that they were doing it on the same weekend, or even better the same day, was a cause of revelation for me.
My family observed Passover at my Aunt Helen’s house. She and Uncle Ralph lived on the second floor of a duplex. Climbing the long staircase enticed by the smells of her matzoh ball soup, I often ran into Aunt Helen’s sister who lived on the first floor. Aunt Bertha always complimented me on my dress.
Usually, I was able to wangle a new dress for the occasion which had special significance because it brought me back into that mutual celebration society. All of my friends went shopping for new fancy Easter dresses. And I could join them because, well, there were no Passover dresses.
“What color is your Easter dress?” a friend would ask me at school. “Lavender and yellow, although it’s not actually an Easter dress…” But by then no one was listening. All that mattered was that it was a festive time and we were all celebrating something.
Around Easter, my Jewish mother, a New York transplant assimilating to life in a southern suburb, would buy us a carton of chocolate marshmallow eggs and a bag of bright yellow marshmallow chickens.
When we emptied our house of bread in observance of Passover week, mom would pack matzoh in my lunches and I would explain to my schoolmates that my ancestors didn’t have time to let the bread rise before they left the desert.
“Really, your grandma lived in the desert?”
I didn’t understand the real meaning of their holiday any more than they did of mine. But it didn’t matter. I shared my matzoh and they shared their hot cross buns. It was a special time even though we observed it in different ways. And that was enough.

Max Payne 1 was released in 2001; the sequel, The Fall of Max Payne, in 2003. So if you're under the age of about 35 then chances are you've never played these 'bullet time' classics (indeed the closest you may have come is the 2008 Mark Wahlberg movie - and the less said about that the better).
Now the game's original publisher, Rockstar, has dropped a surprise bombshell: both Max Payne 1 and 2 are getting a remake, courtesy of Remedy Entertainment, for release on PS5, Xbox Series X & S, and PC.
We know what you're thinking: "Why now, 20 years later?" Here are 3 reasons the Max Payne remakes will be a storming success.
A new game engine
These Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes aren't going to just be higher resolution. Nope, forget about blocky graphics and textures, as there's an updated gaming engine - Northlight Engine, which has already been used for Alan Wake Remastered - to elevate the visuals to modern standards throughout.
Indeed, Rockstar has made it clear in its press release that this isn't a lackadaisical remake project: it'll be financed by Rockstar Games, with stacks of cash "in line with a typical Remedy AAA-game production". So we'll be expecting some pretty spectacular graphics.
Xbox Game Pass & PlayStation Plus
Buying games these days costs a pretty penny. But with increasing numbers of subscribers to Xbox's and Sony's subscription models you won't have to be stung by a £50 or $60 asking price for the pleasure of playing these incoming Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes.
This might well be the most important factor to success: because, let's face it, Max Payne 1 was far from a long game. That's just how things were back in the 2000s. That the sequel arrived 2 years and 3 months after shows just how quick turnarounds were back then.
We don't expect Rockstar or Remedy to tinker with the formula too much, so don't anticipate hours of new gameplay. Therefore your best way to play will be using an annual console subscription.
A whole new audience
As alluded to up top: a whole generation of gamers missed out on Max Payne 1 and 2 the first time around. Who would dig into a 20-year-old 3D PC game in the present day, right?
Well, now presents the perfect chance. Both titles were really good games in their own right, with gritty storylines, never-seen-before 'bullet time' slow-motion epic gameplay (ripped straight from The Matrix movie, clearly), and comic book-like cutscenes and voice acting that really worked.
In their remade format the lid will be lifted for a new generation of gamers to grab that experience, albeit with a more up-to-date lick of polish to make everything appear just, well, more now.
Gamers are hungry for new experiences - even if, conversely, those experiences are old. How long we'll have to wait, however, is unknown right now - as no release date has been set just yet.

Teens Spending More On Shopping, But Concerned About Russia-Ukraine War, Reveals Piper Report
According to Piper Sandler’s biannual “Taking Stock With Teens” report, teenagers are spending more and shifting their shopping habits, even as they worry about growing economic uncertainty, writes CNBC.
This year, teenagers plan to spend about $2,367 on everything from fast food meals and video games to handbags and sneakers, Piper Sandler found, or roughly $66 billion.
That’s up 9% from reported spending levels in the spring 2021 report and up 4% from Piper Sandler’s fall survey. Reported annual spending by teens peaked at about $3,023 in the spring of 2006.
The report revealed that the teens are also increasingly concerned about the Russian war in Ukraine and less preoccupied with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Athletic apparel brands such as Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ: LULU) and Nike Inc (NYSE: NKE) are winning out over traditional clothing labels, revealed the report.
Many teens say they’re either unsure of or uninterested in the so-called metaverse — the idea of buying goods through a virtual reality experience.
Retailers including Nike, PacSun, Forever 21, and Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE: RL) have been dipping their toes in the nascent technology.
Many teenagers also say they’re much more familiar with non-fungible tokens (NFT) than last fall, while only a tiny percentage have purchased one.
71% of teens reported to Piper Sandler that they believe the U.S. economy is getting worse, up from 56% who felt that way last fall and 46% last spring.
When it comes to the metaverse and platforms such as Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX) or Decentraland, 26% of teens reported owning some virtual reality device, with just 5% using it daily. 48% said they are either unsure of or not interested in the metaverse.

Acquisition to increase Club Car presence in Europe, diversify product portfolio in growing consumer and utility markets
Expanded portfolio of zero-emission vehicles to help meet increasing global demand for sustainable transportation options
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Club Car today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Garia A/S ("Garia"), a Denmark-based manufacturer of electric low-speed vehicles for the utility, consumer and golf markets, from Lars Larsen Group. Financial terms were not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter.
Garia, founded in 2005, is best known as an innovator of luxury golf and leisure cars that feature elevated performance and distinctive Scandanavian design. The company launched Garia Utility in 2015, a growing line of compact vehicles for utility applications, including: public sector (municipalities, hospitals, universities, parks), facility management (industrial sites, hotels, resorts), leisure and outdoor (zoos, amusement parks, forestry and agriculture), and last-mile delivery (mail, packages, food delivery).
The acquisition also includes Melex, which Garia acquired in November 2021 to accelerate its growth in the utility space. Melex is a manufacturer of lightweight utility vehicles based in Poland and offers an array of street and non-street legal products, including multi-passenger and compact cargo utility vehicles.
"We have great respect for Garia and Melex, which design and build some of the most impressive electric golf, leisure and compact utility vehicles in the world," said Mark Wagner, president of Club Car. "We are excited to welcome their teams to the Club Car family.
"Our product lines complement each other nicely with very little overlap," he added. "Which is great news for our dealers and customers in Europe and the United States who will have access to a wider range of zero-emission, on and off-road vehicles at a greater variety of price points."
Garia's golf and consumer cars are primarily luxury products geared toward the high end of their respective markets. Garia and Melex's utility products are mostly model types that Club Car doesn't currently manufacture.
"Club Car is the perfect partner and will immediately open new opportunities for growth across our entire product portfolio," said Garia CEO Jakob Holstein. "Club Car's extensive dealer network, combined with the operational benefits we can achieve with substantially increased scale, will help us take our brands to a new level."
Club Car is a portfolio company of Platinum Equity, which acquired the business in 2021.
"Around the world demand for sustainable transportation solutions continues to grow," said Platinum Equity Partner Jacob Kotzubei.

Countries around the world have been relaxing their coronavirus entry restrictions in a bid to attract tourists ahead of the Easter break. The global travel industry has been badly disrupted by the pandemic over the last couple of years and wants holidaymakers to spend their money and travel around the world during their off-time.
As travel rules are eased, this means there will also be a big demand for foreign holidays with people looking to escape to a new citybreak or a relaxing time in the sun. But the exact restrictions in place still vary from country to country, so it’s important to be aware of the rules in your chosen destination before you head over and enjoy your holiday.
Here are the current travel rules in some of the most popular holiday destinations, Birmingham Live reports.
Spain
Fully vaccinated people can enter Spain without needing to quarantine. You’ll need to present proof of vaccination upon arrival and you must have had your last regular Covid vaccine dose at least 14 days prior to travel.
However, if you had your last regular vaccine dose more than 270 days before travelling to Spain, you’ll need to have had a booster jab in order to be considered fully vaccinated. You do not have to wait 14 days after having your booster to travel to Spain.
Children under the age of 12 are exempt from Spain’s testing and vaccine requirements. Those aged between 12 and 17 can enter Spain if they have proof of a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to arriving in the country.
People who aren’t fully vaccinated but have recovered from Covid within the last six months can enter Spain for tourism purposes. A medical certificate or recovery record will be required as proof by Spanish border authorities.
Unvaccinated people cannot enter Spain for tourism purposes, despite recent confusion on this point. Spanish authorities have clarified that British travellers - except children aged 12 to 17 - must present proof of either full vaccination or recent recovery.
France
If you’re fully vaccinated, you can enter France by providing proof of vaccination at the border. However, you must wait at least seven days after your last vaccine dose (or 28 days for the Janssen jab) before travelling.
Also, if your last regular vaccine dose was more than nine months ago, you’ll need to have a booster to be considered fully vaccinated. Otherwise, you’ll need to follow the entry rules that apply to unvaccinated people.
People who aren’t fully vaccinated can now travel to France so long as they can provide a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to travelling or a negative lateral flow test result from no more than 48 hours before departure.
Under-12s are exempt from French Covid travel restrictions. Those aged between 12 and 18 will be subject to the same rules that apply for vaccinated and unvaccinated arrivals, depending on their vaccination status.
Portugal
Fully vaccinated people can enter mainland Portugal so long as they can provide proof of vaccination upon arrival. You must have had your last regular vaccine dose at least 14 days and no more than 270 days before your arrival in Portugal.
If your last regular vaccine dose was more than 270 days ago, you must have had a booster to be considered fully vaccinated. You must wait until at least 14 days after having your booster jab to travel to Portugal.
People who aren’t fully vaccinated will need to provide a negative PCR test result taken no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Portugal or a lateral flow test from no more than 24 hours before arrival.
You can also enter Portugal without having to take a test if you can prove you’ve recovered from the virus. People who’ve recovered from Covid at least 11 days and no more than 180 days before travel can enter Portugal without a test.
Children aged 11 and under are not required to take a test or provide proof of entry to enter mainland Portugal or the Azores.
United States
Most fully vaccinated people can enter the United States for tourism purposes. Fully vaccinated arrivals are not required to quarantine upon arrival, though they are advised to take a Covid test within three to five days of entering the country.
However, if you can provide proof that you’ve recovered from the coronavirus within the last 90 days then you are not required to take a test within three to five days, whatever your vaccination status.
Foreign nationals are not allowed to enter the US if they’re unvaccinated. This includes, except in a small number of exceptional cases, people who’ve tested positive for Covid and recovered from it within the last year.
Children under the age of 17 are exempt from vaccination requirements. Those aged two and under are not required to take a pre-departure test before travelling to the United States.
Malta
If you’re fully vaccinated and had your last regular vaccine dose at least 14 days ago, you can enter Malta by providing proof of vaccination upon arrival. Maltese border authorities will accept the NHS Covid pass.
From April 11, people who aren’t fully vaccinated will be able to enter Malta without needing to quarantine for 14 days, as they previously were. They must, however, be able to present proof of a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before arrival.
Children aged between five and 11 can travel to Malta provided they have a negative PCR result from no more than 72 hours before arriving. Those under five are exempt, while 12 to 18-year-olds are subject to the same rules as adults depending on their vaccine status.
Dubai
Fully vaccinated people do not need to take a pre-departure test before travelling to Dubai. People with a recovery certificate dated within 30 days of departure, under-12s and those with severe disabilities can also enter Dubai without testing beforehand.
Turkey
If you’re fully vaccinated, you can enter Turkey without having to quarantine. You’ll need to wait at least 14 days after your second vaccine dose to travel, and you must present proof of full vaccination upon your arrival in Turkey.
People who aren’t fully vaccinated will need a negative PCR test result taken no more than 72 hours before entry, a lateral flow taken no more than 24 hours before, or proof of recent recovery from the coronavirus in order to enter Turkey.
If you’re not fully vaccinated but have recovered from Covid within the last six months, you can travel to Turkey. Turkish border authorities will require you to present proof of a positive PCR test taken more than 14 days and no more than six months ago.
Children under 11 are exempt from testing and vaccination requirements in Turkey.
Greece
Fully vaccinated travellers from the UK can enter Greece by providing a valid vaccination certificate, a certificate of recent recovery from Covid, or by providing a negative test result. A PCR taken within 72 hours or a lateral flow from within 24 hours will be accepted.
To be considered fully vaccinated in Greece, you must have had your second regular vaccine dose at least 14 days and no more than nine months before travelling. If your last regular dose was more than nine months ago, you’ll need a booster jab.
Unvaccinated people can enter Greece by providing a negative PCR test result from no more than 72 hours before arrival, a lateral flow test verified by an authorised laboratory from no more than 24 hours, or a certificate proving recent recovery from the virus.
Children aged under five do not need to take a test before travelling to Greece. However, those aged five and over who are not fully vaccinated will be required to follow the same rules as unvaccinated adults.
Cyprus
If you’re fully vaccinated, you can enter Cyprus with a valid vaccination certificate. You must have had your last regular vaccine dose at least 14 days before you travel.
Unvaccinated people aged 12 and over must provide a negative PCR test result from no more than 72 hours before departure. They will also be required to take a PCR test upon their arrival in Cyprus and self-isolate in their accommodation while awaiting the result.
The country's government has announced, however, that from April 18th unvaccinated tourists will be allowed to enter Cyprus with a negative test result alone. The outdoor mask mandate in Cyprus is also being scrapped from April 11th.
Children under the age of 11 are exempted from testing and vaccination results in Cyprus. These rules only apply in the Republic of Cyprus; the UK does not recognise Northern Cyprus and different rules may be in force there.

The first ever all-civilian crew to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) arrived safely at the orbiting research platform on Saturday to begin a week-long science mission hailed as a milestone in commercial spaceflight.
The
SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, carrying a retired
NASA astronaut and three businessmen each paid $55 million to participate in the voyage, docked with the ISS at about 8.30am EDT after a 45-minute delay caused by a technical glitch at the station.
'I hope you enjoyed the extra half-orbit in Dragon,' SpaceX flight controllers said after docking.
'We're happy to be here, even through we're a bit late, and looking forward to the next chapter,' commander Michael López-Alegría, a former NASA astronaut and station commander, said.
The Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), which was organized by the Houston-based company Axiom Space, is just the first of many anticipated private crewed missions into space, as the organization has already booked several other flights to the ISS with SpaceX, according to Space.com.
Axiom also aims to start launching modules to the orbiting lab in late 2024 that will become a free-flying commercial space station in low Earth orbit.
The first ever all-civilian crew to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) arrived safely at the orbiting research platform on Saturday to begin a week-long science mission hailed as a milestone in commercial spaceflight
The Crew Dragon docked about 21 hours after the four-man multinational Axiom team - which includes Canadian investor and philanthropist Mark Pathy, US entrepreneur Larry Connor, and ex-Israeli Air Force pilot Eytan Stibbe - lifted off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Friday, riding atop a SpaceX-launched Falcon 9 rocket.
The Crew Dragon capsule lofted to orbit by the rocket docked with the ISS on Saturday as the two space vehicles were flying roughly 250 miles above the central Atlantic Ocean, a live NASA webcast of the coupling showed.
The final approach was delayed by a technical glitch that disrupted a video feed used to monitor the capsule's rendezvous with ISS. The snafu forced the Crew Dragon to pause and hold its position 20 meters away from the station for about 45 minutes while mission control trouble-shooted the issue.
With docking achieved, it was expected to take about two hours more for the sealed passageway between the space station and crew capsule to be pressurized and checked for leaks before hatches can be opened, allowing the newly arrived astronauts to come aboard ISS.

PREVIOUS SPACE TOURISM FLIGHTS
Canadian investor Mark Pathy, US entrepreneur Larry Connor, and ex-Israeli Air Force pilot Eytan Stibbe are the first would-be spaceflight crew comprised entirely of private citizens in a mission to the International Space Station.
So far, Russia has sent seven self-funded tourists to space in partnership with the US-based company Space Adventures.
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa along with his assistant Yozo Hirano became the latest to do so when they had a 12-day stay on the International Space Station at the end of last year.
Their trip came at the end of a groundbreaking year for space tourism which saw Elon Musk's SpaceX take the first ever all-civilian crew in a three-day journey orbiting the earth, while competitor Blue Origin – owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos – also completed two missions beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
The multinational Axiom team, planning to spend eight days in orbit, was led by retired Spanish-born NASA astronaut Lopez-Alegria, 63, the company's vice president for business development.
His second-in-command was Larry Connor, a real estate and technology entrepreneur and aerobatics aviator from Ohio designated as the mission pilot.
Connor is in his 70s but the company did not provide his precise age.
Rounding out the Ax-1 crew were investor-philanthropist and former Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe, 64, and Canadian businessman and philanthropist Mark Pathy, 52, both serving as mission specialists.
Stibbe became the second Israeli to fly to space, after Ilan Ramon, who perished with six NASA crewmates in the 2003 space shuttle Columbia disaster.
While many have characterized Connor, Pathy and Stibbe as 'space tourists,' López-Alegría has disputed that description, alleging the trio trained hard for their mission and will carry out a variety of scientific research while at the ISS.
He claims the trio is very excited about the work they will be doing and hasn't stopped smiling since liftoff.
'I think there are smiles that are still being worn by the crew this morning,' López-Alegría said earlier Saturday after the group had spent the last day adapting to space's weightless environment.
'I tried to eat a muffin this morning,' Connor said. 'That did not turn out as expected.'

MEET WEALTHY TRIO THAT FUNDED THE AX-1 MISSION
Three wealthy investors will spend ten days in space, including a week on the International Space Station. They are:
López-Alegría (left) will serve as the commander of the mission and Connor (right) as pilot
Larry Connor, 72, will be the Ax-1 mission pilot for the trip.
Connor was born in 1950 in Albany, New York, and graduated from Ohio University in 1972.
The investor founded his first firm, the Orlando Computer Corp in 1982.
He then founded the Connor Group, a real estate investment firm, in 1992, which has grown to become a $3.5 billion business.
Married to wife Christine since 1981, he has three children and leveraged his success with the Connor Group to found a children's charity.
Connor is no stranger to adventure, having explored the Challenger Deep and the Sirena Deep in the Mariana Trench, beneath the Pacific Ocean.
While on the station, he will carry out projects on behalf of the Mayo Clinic that could provide data on space travel's impact on senescent cells.
Stibbe (left) and Pathy (right) will work as mission specialists during the day-long trip to the ISS
Mark Pathy, 52, will be a mission specialist on the Ax-1 flight.
Canadian born, he is a child of immigrants, his mother from the Netherlands and father born in Egypt to Hungarian parents.
He graduated with honours from the University of Toronto in 1993 and achieved a masters in 1998.
Pathy is the president of Mavrik Corp, a privately-owned investment, and financing company based in Montréal.
Married to wife Jessica, Pathy has raised money for multiple good causes through the Pathy Family Foundation.
He is said to have spent most of his life avoiding the spotlight, saying during the announcement of his spaceflight: 'If I could do this trip in anonymity I would'.
The investor is also member of the board and Executive Committee of the Montréal Children's Hospital Foundation, and supporter of climate change protection efforts.
He will work with six Canadian universities, as well as two startups on 'proof of concept' ideas while in orbit.
This includes the world's first in-space demonstration of two-way holoportation — a mixed reality app for special lenses that receives two-way 3D projections as a hologram to communicate between users remotely.
Stibbe (left) and Pathy (right) will work as mission specialists during the day-long trip to the ISS
Eytan Stibbe, 64, will be a mission specialist for the Ax-1 mission.
Born in Haifa, Israel, he spent the first seven years of his life in the US before returning to Israel with his family.
He is a 'social impact investor', philanthropist and former Israeli Air Force fighter pilot.
Stibbe served from 1976 until 1984, but continued to serve as a reservist until 2012, obtaining the rank of Colonel.
The former fighter ace has been married to Ora Etrog Stibbe since 1985, a psychotherapist. They have three children – Amit, Shir and Yoav – and four grandchildren.
Stibbe is the founding partner of Vital Capital impact investment fund, established in 2010 with the aim of improving the situations of underserved populations in developing countries.
He founded social benefit company Anatta with his wife, supporting social and education initiatives.
The philanthropist also sits on the board of the Ramon Foundation, started by Israel's first astronaut, Ilan Ramon, and will carry out experiments for them while in orbit.
During his mission, he will facilitate scientific experiments and will conduct educational and artistic activities to connect the younger generation in Israel and around the globe on the values of peace, innovation, and social responsibility.
The Axiom team will be joining the existing ISS occupants of seven regular, government-paid space station crew members - three American astronauts, a German astronaut from the European Space Agency and three Russian cosmonauts.
The new arrivals brought with them two dozen science and biomedical experiments to conduct aboard ISS, including research on brain health, cardiac stem cells, cancer and aging, as well as a technology demonstration to produce optics using the surface tension of fluids in microgravity.
Axiom has also revealed that the astronauts will be taking technology built by Israeli company, Aleph Farms, to the station.
This will include bovine cells taken from a cow which will be turned into raw meat by growing them into muscle, fat and other components as part of a process to make lab-grown steak.
Aleph Farms' head of space research Dr. Zvika Tamari spoke to MailOnline about the experiment earlier this week.
He said the company's aim was two-fold: to provide steaks to space travelers on the moon or Mars, and to develop a market for low-cost beef here on Earth.
This technology involves turning cells taken from a cow into raw meat by growing the cells into muscle, fat and other components.
'Aleph's general goal is to be able to provide nutritious, tasty, sustainable food anywhere, anytime,' said Tamari, adding that 'stretching that to its limit is the ability to also provide nutrition in space.'
A group of three businessmen and a former NASA astronaut shouldn't be considered 'tourists' when they become they travel to the ISS, according to the firm taking them, as they have been training as astronauts, and will carry out experiments and tasks while on the station
EXAMPLES OF AX-1 MISSION RESEARCH
Larry Connor, Ax-1 mission pilot, entrepreneur, and non-profit activist investor, has a number of projects in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic.
Connor's experiments on behalf of Mayo Clinic would provide data on space travel's impact on senescent cells and heart health.
Connor is expected to be in charge of maintaining senescent cells – cells that have stopped dividing – at the ISS.
These cells are linked to multiple age-related diseases, and understanding them can help protect astronauts on long-haul trips to Mars.
Mark Pathy, Ax-1 mission specialist, is working on behalf of The Montreal Children's Hospital, Canadian Research Universities and The Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
He is working with six Canadian universities, as well as two startups on 'proof of concept' ideas.
This includes the world's first in-space demonstration of two-way holoportation – a mixed reality app for special lenses that receives two-way 3D projections as a hologram to communicate between users remotely.
In addition to human research, Pathy plans to lead Earth observation activities which will contribute to further analysis of the impact of climate change, urbanization, and other factors on the ecology and human habitation of North America.
Eytan Stibbe, Ax-1 mission specialist, social impact investor, and Israeli philanthropist, is working on behalf of the Ramon Foundation.
His mission is named 'Rakia', after the dome (atmosphere) created by God on the second day after the firmament, which protects life on Earth.
During his mission, he will facilitate scientific experiments and will conduct educational and artistic activities to connect the younger generation in Israel and around the globe on the values of peace, innovation, and social responsibility.
For the first time, an astronaut will represent Israelis on the International Space Station in Hebrew.
The mission, a collaboration among Axiom, Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX and NASA, has been touted by all three as a major step in the expansion of space-based commercial activities collectively referred to by insiders as the low-Earth orbit economy, or 'LEO economy' for short.
NASA officials say the trend will help the U.S. space agency focus more of its resources on big-science exploration, including its Artemis program to send humans back to the moon and ultimately to Mars.
While the space station has hosted civilian visitors from time to time, the Ax-1 mission marks the first all-commercial team of astronauts sent to ISS for its intended purpose as an orbiting research laboratory.
The Axiom mission also stands as SpaceX's sixth human space flight in nearly two years, following four NASA astronaut missions to the space station and the 'Inspiration 4' launch in September that sent an all-civilian crew to orbit for the first time. That flight did not dock with ISS.
Axiom executives say their astronaut ventures and plans to build a private space station in Earth orbit go far beyond the astro-tourism services offered to wealthy thrill-seekers by such companies as Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, owned respectively by billionaire entrepreneurs Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson.
NASA recently announced the ISS had just nine years of operational life left, with plans to sink it in the South Pacific Ocean in January 2031.
On the run up to that happening, the space agency plans to support commercial operators in launching privately funded and run space stations, starting with an Axiom Space module attached to the ISS.
This launch is a precursor to that module, which is expected to dock with the station by the middle of this decade, part of NASA's efforts to built a robust low-Earth orbit economy — driven by the private sector, rather than national players.
Axiom recently completed the preliminary design review of two modules that will be attached to the ISS this decade, then separate into its own free-flying station.
For more than 21 years, NASA has supported a continuous U.S. human presence in low-Earth orbit aboard the space station.
'The agency's goal is to enable a strong, commercial marketplace in low-Earth orbit with private industry where NASA is one of many customers,' a spokesperson said previously.
'This strategy will provide services the government needs at a lower cost, enabling the agency to focus on its Artemis missions to the moon in preparation for Mars while continuing to use low-Earth orbit as a training and proving ground for those deep space missions.'
ASTRONAUTS WILL GROW ARTIFICIAL STEAK FROM BEEF CELLS IN A BID TO PRODUCE 'JUICY' MEAT FOR HUMANS TO ENJOY ON TRIPS TO THE MOON & MARS
If humans are to live on the moon and one day make it to Mars then scientists must come up a way for them to grow their own food.
To that end, astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) could soon be tucking into a tasty meal of fresh steak — but only if they can perfect the technology of cultivating it from beef cells in microgravity first.
That is just one of the scientific experiments being carried out by three amateur astronauts who are launching to the orbital observatory later today for what will be NASA's first ever space tourism mission.
Canadian investor and philanthropist Mark Pathy, U.S. entrepreneur Larry Connor, and ex-Israeli Air Force pilot Eytan Stibbe have reportedly paid a whopping $55 million (£41 million) each for the ride.
Three amateur astronauts are launching to the International Space Station later for what will be NASA's first ever space tourism mission. One of their scientific experiments will be to turn cells taken from a cow into raw meat by growing the cells and turning them into muscle, fat and other components. Pictured is the artificial steak created on Earth by the firm Aleph Farms
One of the astronauts, Eytan Stibbe (pictured left), is seen tasting the lab-grown steak prior to launch
During their eight-day stay on the ISS, the trio will attempt to produce meat that is 'just as tender and juicy as one you would buy from a butcher'.
That's because part of the payload will include bovine cells, which are being sent up to the space station to be grown in microgravity and turned into muscle tissue found in steaks.
The Israeli food technology company behind the idea, Aleph Farms, is a trailblazer in cultivating lab-grown beef steaks and counts Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio as one of its key investors.
In 2019, the firm produced the world's first 3D-bioprinted ribeye steak, and in September of that year was also involved in successfully growing artificial meat in space for the first time.
On this occasion, scientists — with the help of Stibbe onboard the International Space Station (ISS) — will look to produce steak without the help of bioprinting, instead just multiplying and differentiating the beef cells as part of a natural process.
Speaking in an interview with MailOnline, Dr Zvika Tamari, head of space research at Aleph Farms, said the company's aim was two-fold: to provide steaks to space travellers on the moon or Mars, and to develop a market for low-cost beef here on Earth. Pictured is a vision for its base on Mars
Speaking in an interview with MailOnline, Dr Zvika Tamari, head of space research at Aleph Farms, said the company's aim was two-fold: to provide steaks to space travellers on the moon or Mars, and to develop a market for low-cost beef here on Earth.
'To produce [natural] steak you have to grow cows for 2-3 years, feed them a lot, you need a lot of land, lots of freshwater and natural resources,' he said.
'But we can produce good, nutritious, tasty steak wherever, even in the most remote places, in about three weeks.
'And where is more remote than space? A harsh environment with no natural resources.'
Explaining how the process works, Dr Tamari said: 'We start with bovine cells, grow them in bio reactors and then multiply and diversify the cellular mass.
'This then turns them into various cell types that exist in steak, which is muscle cells primarily, adipose or fat cells and collagen cells, which are very elastic.
'So we take the cells that we grow and make them into tissue that resembles the steak you eat regularly.
'And that is what we're going to do on the ISS.'

Shipments of dairy products grew by over 96 per cent to USD 634 million in 2021-22 from USD 323 million in 2020-21, while exports of bovine meat increased from USD 3.17 billion in 2020-21 to USD 3.30 billion in 2021-22.
Export of poultry products rose to USD 71 million in 2021-22 from USD 58 million in the previous year and sheep/goat meat exports were up by 34 per cent at USD 60 million in 2021-22.
Major export destinations include Bangladesh, the UAE, Vietnam, the US, Nepal, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Iran and Egypt.
"The rise in export of agricultural and processed food products has been largely due to the various initiatives taken by the Centre through APEDA such as organizing B2B exhibitions in different countries, exploring new potential markets through product specific and general marketing campaigns by active involvement of Indian Embassies," it added.
"We have also created a product matrix for 50 agricultural products which have good scope for expanding our exports portfolios," said M Angamuthu, Chairman, APEDA.

US Sub-Prime Mortgage Jitters Affecting The UK Stock Market
Sub-prime mortgage lenders in the USA are struggling to survive and their demise is impacting significantly on the world’s financial markets. In London, the FTSE has undergone a series of significant drops, suffering the biggest fall for seven years in one day alone on Friday, 10th August, wiping out most of this year’s gains. As a result there is now a real fear that the housing market crash in the US could be repeated here in the UK.
The panic selling and lack of confidence in the stock markets can be traced back to the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market in the USA. Rising delinquencies and defaults amongst sub-prime mortgage borrowers in the USA have led to a reassessment of the value of such holdings by investment bankers who bought heavily in securities for the risk. They are watching the potential paper value of their investments virtually disappear overnight as US house prices collapse, provoking panic and attempts at consolidation in almost equal measures.
Sub-prime mortgages are usually given to those who can’t prove their income or have poor credit status, or maybe even both. In return for receiving higher interest rates from borrowers, lenders are willing to take a risk on this type of bad credit loan. When house prices are increasing, the risk is minimal because if the borrower defaults, the lender has a charge on the property and can therefore force the sale of the property recouping the initial investment, any interest due and recovery charges.
However, in a market where house prices are dropping, as it is in the US, the value of the property may become less than the outstanding liability leaving the lender with a significant loss. Because US sub-prime lenders have the least ability to absorb defaults as most of their borrowers take out 100% mortgages, they are most prone to collapse if it all goes wrong.
The largest sub-prime lender in the US New Century issued sub-prime loans amounting to $33.9 billion last year alone. It is now being investigated by federal investigators to establish whether impropriety featured in their business practices. It is the bad debts recorded by lenders such as New Century that are causing the extreme jitters in financial markets throughout the world, causing analysts to question whether the situation will be repeated in the UK. That has prompted many UK lenders to evaluate their most at-risk loans to determine their exposure and ensure that they have an adequate amount of capital to cover the potential losses. Thankfully, the UK market is thought to be less exposed to sub-prime lending than the US market. Plus, providing house prices in the UK continue to rise or remain stable then lenders that have issued such bad credit loans [http://www.blackandwhite.co.uk] to homeowners will not be affected. Any threat will materialise if house values in the UK fall as the amount of equity in properties will also drop, and that could lead to the sort of financial chaos witnessed in the US.

Great Stock Market Guidelines for a Successful Portfolio
Investing can sometimes seem like a tough thing to do. A lot of people want to see their money grow, but they aren’t sure where to start. The stock market is a good place to invest your money, so if you want to learn more about how you can make a reasonable income through the stock market, then this article is for you.
If it seems too good to be true it probably is. If a return is being guaranteed, there’s a good chance that fraud is involved. There is no way to take part in investing without some risk and any broker that tells you otherwise is lying. This is not a person that you want to place your money with.
Remember that stock prices are reflections of earnings. In the short term immediate future, market behavior will fluctuate depending on news and rumour and the emotional responses to those, ranging from enthusiasm to panic. In the longer term picture, however, company earnings over time wind up determining whether a stock price rises or falls.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but the best time to buy your investments is when they have fallen in value. “Buy Low/Sell High” is not a worn out adage. It is a way to success and prosperity. Do your due diligence to find sound investment candidates, but don’t let fear keep you from buying when the market is down.
Your stocks should be thought of as ownership in a company, not just meaningless pieces of paper which you trade. When assessing the value of stocks, evaluate the business by analyzing their financial statements. This will ensure that you consider each trade carefully before making any moves.
Make sure that you are properly educated before investing in the stock market. You need to have a basic knowledge of accounting, annual reports and the stock market history. There is no need to be an actual accountant, though the more understanding you have, the better off you will be.
You can use the stock prices to track earnings. Short-term market behavior is generally based on fear, enthusiasm, news, and rumours. Long-term market behavior is mainly comprised of company earnings. These earnings can be used to determine whether or not a stock’s price will rise, drop or go completely sideways.
Keep an eye on the price of a stock you want to buy, and buy when the price is at its low point. The stock market fluctuates constantly, so you might have to wait a bit for the perfect price, but it will pay off in the end with a high return on investment.
Always keep in mind that money is a tool, not a goal. The money you earn, save and invest serves you towards a goal. The goal might be a boat, a home, or even retirement. You have a target number you are pursuing because that target number means you can afford a lifestyle for you and your family that you do not currently have.
Before even buying your first stock, make sure you know your current total financial portfolio. What are your debts and income? Do you have six months reserve fund saved up? This should be done before buying a single share. Once it is accomplished, how much of your income can you put towards investing? Once you know this, then determine your stock portfolio and automate it.
Before you decide how much you want to invest in the stock market, take some time to figure out what you want your investments to do for you. Are you looking forward to building a retirement fund? Alternatively, make some extra income? When you get this figured out, you will be able to decide how much you are willing to risk on the market.
If you’re thinking of investing money in stocks and you do not know how to do it, then you might want to go to a stock investing gathering in your area. These are normally available for a cheap fee, and you are educated by professionals that could assist you in gaining a lot of money in your investment.
Do not forget to keep a strict watch on the volume of trading your stocks are involved in. The trading volume reflects the amount of trading that the specific stock is currently involved in. The activity of a stock can show volatility or stability, which could determine whether or not you want to buy it.
Don’t buy stock of companies that aren’t solid. You need to do a lot of homework on the stock that you are thinking about buying. When you rule out all iffy stock choices, there will be nothing but sound stocks in your portfolio. This will protect you from losses over the long run.
Have a game plan and generally, stick with it. Many individuals buy a stock with the plan of sitting tight on it for a period of five or ten years. As soon as something goes sour in the market, those same individuals turn around and immediately sell. While selling is sometimes the smart way to go, if you sell every time your stock takes a bit of a nose dive, you will see more of a loss than you will see a gain. If you instead remain strong and stick to your game plan, you will often see a greater amount of success in the long run.
You should now have a better idea about what the stock market is about and what you should be doing to prepare yourself so that you can invest. Keep in mind, that sharing information with friends can help. Make sure that you engage in conversation with your friends, as well as to teach them what you know so that you have a better grasp of the stock market as a whole. When you understand how something works, you know how to be good at it. Do this and success should follow.

Half – The Four Letter Word in Divorce
Some states follow community property rules and other states follow equitable distribution rules for divvying up assets during a divorce. However, regardless of the state’s rules, the math typically equals out to half.
Fighting the “half” is not productive. Instead you need to familiarize yourself with what needs to be split in half. The courts cannot half your separate property to your spouse. Figuring out which property is separate is the magic of a good divorce lawyer
Separate Property or Community Property
Separate property is “separate” and not part of the half being divides. It consists of things like property that a spouse purchased before the marriage, inheritance of once spouse and gifts during the marriage given as separate property. However, if you have separate property and use monies earning during the union to maintain it, it then is considered community property. Also, when you deposit monies given as an inheritance into a joint bank account, it is considered community property.
Community property is equally divided by the courts between the spouses during a divorce. This includes real estate, 401Ks, pensions, businesses and debts. Equal distribution means that the court looks at several things to ensure each spouse receives equal liabilities and assets. Consideration can be given in situations where a spouse doesn’t work, there has been a lengthy marriage, or the earning of one spouse is significantly greater than the other. Community property states may give deference to these issues as well.
Dividing 401K or IRA
In community property states, retirement accounts, such as 401Ks and IRAs are usually divided equally between spouses during a divorce. In an equal distribution state, the judge hearing the case will rule on what is fair or equitable but not necessarily equal. Keep in mind that spouses have the right to make agreements about who will receive assets like IRAs and 401Ks. It’s not uncommon for trade-offs to be made during a divorce. For example, one spouse may request to keep the whole 401K in exchange for another asset. If you should decide to do this, it’s important to have a divorce lawyer draft a marital settlement agreement
Dividing a Business
Both spouses have ownership rights in divorce. Whether it’s a retail business, medical practice or restaurant, there probably community property interests. The professional business is the typical case we see the most problems with. A professional business is when one spouse is in business as a doctor, account, or lawyer. There is value in the business which should be divided.
There are basically three methods of dealing with a business when there is a divorce: Co-ownership, selling the business, or buying out the other spouse’s interest. With co-ownership, both partners continue to own the business after the divorce. It’s important to note that this method only works well if both spouses have a level of trust in the other’s management skills or a solid working relationship. If not, it can be a recipe for disaster.
There are pros and cons to selling the business and dividing the profits. On the upside, spouses can avoid financial ties to each other and use the proceeds to launch their own business venture. The downside is that many businesses take time to sell. It can take months and even year to get it sold.
Buying out the other spouse’s interest is when one spouse keeps the business and pays for the other spouse’s interest. This works well when the buying spouse has enough liquid assets or cash for the transaction. In addition, other assets can be used to offset the purchase, such as securities, IRAs and the equity in a home.
Who Gets the House?
You may want to keep the house because of kids or having an emotional attachment. However, you need to think about what’s actually best in the long run. Not all spouses can maintain the same lifestyle after a divorce. No matter how attached you are to your home, and it’s critical to know whether or not you can afford to keep it. There’s a mortgage, maintenance and property taxes to think of. And if you don’t have the funds, serious financial trouble can loom on the horizon.
Is there equity in the home? If not then you are not fighting for an asset, you are fighting for a debt. Another important thing to consider is whose name is on the mortgage. The title is who owns the home, can title can be change freely. The mortgage is the obligation, or debt of the home. We have never seen a mortgage company change the name or release one spouse from the obligation. Changing a mortgage requires a refinance, which requires credit approval.
In a community property state, judges are bound to ensure that community property gets divided as evenly as possible. If you purchased a home together and it has $100,000 in equity, one spouse may get the home but have to buy out the other spouse for his or her $50,000 share. The judge may even order that the home be sold. Even if the home is in your name only, you are not permitted to sell it without court approval or your spouse’s consent.
Dividing Debt
Debt is treated just like an asset. It must be divided. The wrinkle is that the debt holders are not obligated to a divorce decree. So, if you take the debt of a credit card with his name, the credit card can still go after your spouse if you miss the payments. We typically look for the named debtors to take the debt. Sometimes this takes creative lawyering to accomplish.
A good divorce attorney can educate you on your state’s rules pertaining to the dividing up of assets in the event of a divorce. This legal professional can also render good advice on how to handle community property and separate property during a divorce. If you try to go it alone, you may give up something that you’re legally entitled to.

Supertech twin towers demolition: Test blast on Sunday, residents advised to stay indoors

Edifice Engineering and Jet Demolitions, which has been roped in by the Noida authority to demolish the illegally built Supertech twin towers, will carry out a test blast Sunday afternoon and has asked residents of nearby societies to stay indoors during that period. The test blast would be carried out at 2.30 pm on Sunday in the society in Noida's sector 93-A, according to an advisory issued by the firm. According to officials, the actual demolition of Supertech's Apex and Ceyane towers will take place on May 22 but the test blast will be carried out to ascertain the amount of explosives needed for the demolition. ''A test blast will be performed at the Supertech Emerald twin towers situated in sector 93A Noida, India, on Sunday April 10 at 2.30 PM. For your own safety, an Exclusion Zone will be enforced by the Military and Police. All residents within this zone are required to remain inside their apartments and refrain from standing on their balconies between 2.15 PM and 2.45 PM,'' the advisory stated. Residents of neighbouring ATS Greens Village and other societies have also been cautioned about the test blast, which will be carried out on four pillars in the basements and one on the 14th floor of the illegal structures, the officials said. All preparations for the test blast -- including setting up of Aluminium sheets on boundary walls and use of geotextile fabric on the ground to prevent dust, splinters and debris from going out of the premises -- have been done, they said. Ambulances and fire tenders will be present at the site during the test blast for any emergency and police personnel will be deployed in adequate numbers on Sunday in the area, they added. The Supreme Court had ordered the demolition of Supertech's Apex (100 metre) and Ceyane (97 metre) on August 31, 2021 as the twin towers had come up in violation of building norms. The top court had also rapped the local Noida Authority for approval of the project under its watch.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gas prices declined again in New Jersey and around the nation amid plans for the release of more oil from the federal Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $4.12, down six cents from last week. Drivers were paying $2.90 a gallon on average a year ago at this time.
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $4.13, down eight cents from last week. Drivers were paying $2.87 a gallon on average a year ago at this time.
Analysts say the pressure for oil prices to rise during Russia's war in Ukraine “is meeting stronger downward pressure" from the planned release of oil from the strategic reserve as well as increased COVID-19 fears in China. They say a dip in domestic demand for the third straight week in defiance of seasonal trends may be due to higher prices at the pump and consumers altering their driving habits.

Which Nike tennis dress is best?
You don’t need much to play tennis apart from a ball and racket. However, competitors need to follow club and tournament rules. That means adhering to a dress code, which for women usually involves wearing a tennis dress.
A tennis dress is standard attire for most women’s competitions. Nike offers a handful of high-quality tennis dresses, like the Nike Women’s Dri-Fit Court Tennis Dress, which players love for its tailored fit, breathability and Nike’s Dri-Fit sweat-wicking technology.
What to know before you buy a Nike tennis dress?
Size
Tennis dresses are designed to fit close to the skin and often have a tailored, slim fit. Slim-fit tennis dresses let players move freely, so their performance isn’t negatively affected, as it might be if they were wearing loose-fitting attire.
A tennis dress should fit snug, but you should also find it comfortable to play in. Most players prefer smaller sizes, as they don’t restrict their mobility, but you can opt for a larger size if you find it more comfortable.
Sleeves
Most tennis dresses are short-sleeved because tennis is usually played in warm-weather conditions or indoors, but there are also long-sleeve styles for playing outdoors on chilly days. Some players also appreciate the compression that long sleeves provide, as they feel it tightens their swinging mechanics.
However, long-sleeve dresses naturally cause more sweating, making players uncomfortable and possibly affecting their on-court performance. In any case, you want something breathable and appropriate for the weather.
Breathability
Tennis dresses are usually made with highly breathable polyester fabrics and stretchy materials such as spandex. A breathable tennis dress is often 70%-90% polyester, but it can also incorporate fabrics like cotton and elastane materials.
It’s crucial to wear a breathable tennis dress, especially if you’re playing on a hot summer day. Warm-weather conditions can cause players to overheat and sweat profusely, so it’s vital to wear clothing that’s well-ventilated so you can stay cool for extended periods.
What to look for in a quality Nike tennis dress
Dri-Fit
Dri-Fit is a polyester material that’s designed to wick away moisture. Most Nike tennis dresses are manufactured using Dri-Fit technology, which can help players stay cool when they’re on the court. Many athletes prefer Dri-Fit clothing since they aren’t weighed down by excessive sweat-absorption, making them both lightweight and breathable.
Racerback
Racerback is a design where the straps create a T-shape in the back of the clothing. It’s also a popular style for the backs of tennis dresses, as they tend to be more comfortable and flexible than standard-strap dresses. It’s a matter of preference, but racerback tennis dresses are the more commonly worn style.
Colors and style
It’s crucial to feel comfortable and well-ventilated while wearing a tennis dress, but you should also consider the color and style. As a tennis player, you want to establish your presence every time you step onto the court. One of the best ways to boost your confidence is to wear an outfit that matches your personality and unique style.
Tennis dresses come in various colors, patterns and designs, so there’s something for every type of player.
How much you can expect to spend on a Nike tennis dress
Nike is known for its high-quality athletic attire, so their tennis dresses are more expensive than those offered by other brands. In general, however, you can expect to spend anywhere from $50-$200 on a Nike tennis dress.
Nike tennis dress FAQ
Why are Nike tennis dresses so expensive?
A. Nike tennis dresses are manufactured using high-quality materials and often incorporate Dri-Fit technology into their design.

Researchers have put forward reasons why some people don't catch Covid-19 despite sharing a bed with a partner with the virus.
As part of a new project, researchers from Trinity College in Dublin are looking to speak to people as part of a study into couples who have shared beds while one was Covid positive and the other remained Covid negative.
Cliona O'Farrelly, Professor of Comparative Immunology & Biochemistry, Trinity College appeared on Today with Claire Byrne radio show earlier this week to discuss her research into why some people don't get Covid-19 despite living in close-confines with someone who is positive with the virus.
"This is something that has been interesting me for a long time", she said.
She started studying immune responses after the Hepatitis C scandal, when a cohort of rhesus negative women got anti-D which was contaminated with Hepatitis C virus. Through this study she became interested in why some women got got the anti-D didn't get contaminated.
She said that the women who didn't get infected have a stronger "innate immune response", which "is the immune response that kicks in immediately on encountering the virus. It's part of the immune system that's right at the site where the virus is".
It is not just biology, however, that keeps some people from catching viruses and illnesses.
"We should make it clear that a whole lot of people are not becoming infected because they're being super careful", she said.
"They're to be congratulated and certainly for that to be continued. But in addition to the people who are not getting it, because they're very very careful, there are those whose innate immune system - that's what we believe and that's what we're studying - is able to keep the virus away without becoming infected at all."
Her research team is now looking for people who have resisted the virus, ideally twice, both in the first wave before vaccination and in recent months with Omicron.
"We need people whose partner was PCR positive while they shared a room with them, and they've been PCR negative," Ms O'Farrelly said.
The Viral Resistance Project aims to identify who is resistant and how they are resistant.
Those behind the project said it could have a major impact on public health measures, vaccine development and basic understanding of viral infections.

Oscar Alvarado couldn't sleep the night before. Opening Day was hours away. It was his holiday, and it was a long time coming.
Instead, he hopped in his car at 2 in the morning and rode around Citizens Bank Park, "just to get the feel," as he put it.
Two summers ago, Alvarado, Brett MacMinn and a group of dedicated fans who would be established as the Phandemic Krew huddled around the ballpark's center field gate to get whatever live look they could of Phillies baseball, doing so in a season where the coronavirus pandemic drastically shortened the schedule and didn't allow for any spectators.
On Friday, having since grown in numbers and connections, the Krew was out in full force in the right field's upper deck, cheering the Phillies on as they began their 2022 campaign with a 9-5 win over the Oakland Athletics.
In the big debuts of Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos, and Bryson Stott, the sellout crowd was electric, and "MVP" chants were aplenty for the returning Bryce Harper.
It was Opening Day, the first "normal" one in years, and with sights set on the postseason, one with more hope and excitement behind it in maybe a decade.
It was a holiday, and it was a long time coming.
"To be back in the ballpark, to be honest, 2019 was the last time we had a normal season," Alvarado, one of the Krew's two co-founders, said. "This year, 2022, is the closest we've had to a normal season. Just to see everybody out here, we're in Section 301 and I can go down to any row and have a conversation with anybody because these are all relationships that we've built starting from 10th street outside of Citizens Bank Park. It's everything to us because me and Brett, we got together and we created something that's positive."
Anthony DiDomizio, a devout baseball fan from Folsom, was on the other end of the outfield underneath the scoreboard in left. He was decked out in a No. 8 Castellanos jersey that he wanted to be sure he had for his first trip to the ballpark in nearly three years.
Like Alvarado, DiDomizio didn't sleep much the night before either. It was his holiday too, and it was a long time coming.
"Honestly, I was kind of tearing up a bit when I was walking around the concourse earlier," he said.
Whatever emotions took hold before the game turned into unbridled excitement once Schwarber stepped up to the plate for his and the Phillies' first at-bat of 2022.
After working a full count out of Oakland starter Frankie Montas, Schwarber turned on a pitch low in the zone and launched it 426 feet into right. 1-0 Phillies and a fired-up curtain call one batter into the season. The place went nuts.
"It was like it wasn't real," Alvarado said. "I couldn't believe it. It came right toward us over here in right-center, and it was a bomb! And just him going around the bases and receiving the love of Philadelphia and showing that passion, that's the type of guy we want here."
"To have Schwarber lead off with that homer set the tone, I think, for the entire season," MacMinn said. "That listen, it's going to be an offense that's going to be a force to be reckoned with, and fans, the city of Philly, and MLB need to take note because this is where it is. This is where you need to be."
The thought that ran through Randy Farrow's head after Schwarber's homer: "Welcome to Philly!"
"He's got such a violent swing," Farrow, out of Magnolia, Delaware, said. "I was like 'wait until he puts a hit on that bat' and it was GONE! We were going crazy!"
Farrow was wearing an Iron Man costume at the game, along with Logan Yannuci dressed as Wolverine, and David Wardwell as Captain America. (Their Thor was busy in Asgard, Farrow joked, so they were handing the hammer off to whoever stopped by.)
Sixteen years ago, the three wore Homer Simpson masks up in the left-field terrace — not too far off from where the Phandemic Krew was Friday — during Ryan Howard's unforgettable 58 home run NL MVP campaign. They were Howard's Homers. Yannucci was seven years old at the time. He was the kid that had Howard's home run total painted on his shirts. He needed a lot of them back then.
Fast forward to 2019 and the standing room section over Ashburn Alley. The fan group had to change with the team. Harper was the big new star. Superheroes clicked. Comics mixed with baseball, they embraced it. Harper's Heroes stuck.
"It's the best of both worlds," Yannucci said. "I know that's like a Hanna Montana thing, but it's the best of both worlds. I'm literally geeking out. I'm dressed up as a superhero and watching baseball? It's the best combination ever!
"You walk around the stadium, everybody wants an interview, a picture taken, but most importantly, I do it for the kids. I have three kids of my own and they love me as Wolverine, love me as Dad, and it's just great being able to walk around as a superhero."
It was great to see the Phillies start off with a win too, even after what was a solid Aaron Nola performance fell apart in the seventh and those fielding concerns reared their ugly head.
It's October or bust with this team, and by late Friday, the Phillies took that first step forward by doing exactly what they were built to do: score lots of runs.
After Stott and Schwarber each knocked in runs to pad the Phillies' lead in the bottom of the eighth, new reliever Corey Knebel came in to close things out.
He retired the side 1-2-3. The fans went home happy.
It was a holiday, and it was a long time coming.

Soaring Energy Bills the Largest Threat for 9 in 10 U.K. Fims
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Sign up for the New Economy Daily newsletter, follow us @economics and subscribe to our podcast.
About 90% of U.K. small- and medium-sized firms say rising energy costs are the biggest threat to their businesses, according to new survey that lays bare the scale of the crisis.
A third consider the jump to be a “major” challenge, according to the poll, carried out on behalf of comparison website NerdWallet and shared exclusively with Bloomberg. Meanwhile 87% consider skyrocketing inflation to be a big problem, with 82% struggling to contend with rising interest rates.
The findings highlight how soaring prices are hitting companies as well as households, with the fastest inflation in three decades set to jump further as a result of the war in Ukraine. Businesses are often more exposed to energy prices than individuals, who get some protection from a regulated price cap.
The majority of firms said they have increased the price of goods and services in line with rising organizational costs, while 46% of decision makers said they have been unable to budget for salary increases to match inflation.
The poll of 402 firms was carried out by Opinium between March 15 and March 21.

NEW YORK (AP) — Actor Kevin Spacey asked a judge Friday to throw out actor Anthony Rapp’s sex abuse lawsuit, saying through his lawyers that allegations that he abused the then-teenage Rapp at a 1980s party are false.
The lawyers wrote in papers filed in Manhattan federal court that the alleged events Rapp described never occurred. Rapp has appeared in “Rent” on Broadway and in “Star Trek: Discovery” on television.
He alleged in his lawsuit that he went to a party in 1986 at Spacey’s Manhattan home, where a 26-year-old Spacey, without Rapp’s consent, “engaged in a sexual advance” by grabbing Rapp’s buttocks and lifting him onto a bed and laying on his body. Rapp claimed he “was forced to extricate himself” before leaving the party.
Spacey’s lawyers argued the alleged encounter cannot qualify as sexual abuse under New York’s laws because the only alleged contact with an “intimate” part of the body by Spacey was when his hand grazed the 14-year-old Rapp’s buttocks when the older actor picked him up. The lawyers said Rapp “wriggled out” with no resistance during an encounter of less than 30 seconds.
There was no other evidence that would suggest any fleeting contact between Spacey’s hand and Rapp’s buttocks was for the purpose of sexual gratification or to degrade or abuse Rapp, the lawyers wrote.
The lack of evidence means Rapp’s claims for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress must fail, the lawyers said.
They said Spacey “flatly denies” that any of what Rapp described took place.
Lawyers for Rapp did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
When Rapp first spoke publicly of his claim in 2017, others went public too and Spacey’s then-celebrated career abruptly halted. At the time, Spacey issued a statementsaying he didn’t remember the encounter but apologized.
Spacey won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in “American Beauty,” a 1999 film in which he played a frustrated suburban father who lusts after his daughter’s best friend.
In recent filings, Rapp’s lawyers have asked to transfer the case to state court, saying Spacey cannot prove he has been living in Maryland and qualifies for the diversity of citizenship necessary to remain in federal court.
In fact, they argue, he has been mostly living in London since 2003.
They said he only lived in Maryland when he was acting in his Emmy-winning role in “House of Cards” from 2014 through 2017. He was fired from the show days after Rapp went public and former show workers claimed that Spacey made the production a “toxic” workplace and one ex-employee alleged the actor sexually assaulted him.
In November, an arbitrator said Spaceyand his production companies must pay the studio behind the Netflix political thriller $31 million because of losses they incurred after his firing.
Spacey appealed the decision to a panel of three more private arbitrators, who found for the plaintiffs, making the decision final, and public.
A criminal case brought against him, an indecent assault and battery charge stemming from the alleged groping of an 18-year-old man at a Nantucket resort, was dismissed by Massachusetts prosecutors in 2019.

The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has said that he is not scared of a former governor of Lagos State and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and other APC presidential contenders in the forthcoming 2023 polls.
Bello made this disclosure in Abuja during his second annual seminar for political and crime correspondents, barely 24 hours after expressing optimism that he was most favoured to clinch the party’s ticket for the Presidency.
He reckoned that although Tinubu and other eminent personalities were founding members of the APC, the foundation of a house was not enough, as there were other things to be put in place to build a house.
Asked if he was scared of contending with top presidential aspirants in the APC, Bello boldly declared, “I will say No! I am not scared of anybody in the contest for the APC presidential ticket”.
“Tinubu and others are founding members of the APC, but foundation is not enough. I will defeat all the other aspirants because I have all it takes to be a champion.
“My performance in Kogi State will speak for me,” Bello affirmed.
According to him, there are over 16 million Nigerians with Permanent Voters Cards already waiting to vote him in the 2023 election.
Asked why he was always rooting for the younger generation, Bello said he believed that Nigeria could do more with younger persons in power.

As per the DAE estimate, 1.20 lakh MTs of paddy worth Tk 300 crore could have been produced from the land that went under water.
Haor is a wetland ecosystem in the north eastern part of Bangladesh which physically is a bowl or saucer shaped shallow depression, also known as a back swamp. During monsoon haors get filled with surface runoff water becoming vast stretches of turbulent water.
According to local DAE office, Boro paddy has been cultivated on 2.22 lakh hectares of land in the district this year and the production target has been set at 13.50 lakh MTs.
In a recent visit, the UNB correspondent found local people working day and night voluntarily to protect the local embankments. Rain has reduced in haor area but water level in rivers is rising in some upazilas including Dirai-Shalla of Sunamganj.
On 2 April, crops of Tanguar haor went under water at first after the Najarkhali embankment collapsed.
Since then eight dams collapsed one by one and cracks have developed in all small and big embankments due to the pressure of upstream water.
On Friday, water started flooding Eraliakona Haor in Tahirpur.
Locals said five haors including Chandra Sonartal Haor in Dharmapasha, Tangni Haor in Dirai Upazila and Chapati Haor went under water after the collapse of the embankments.
Bimal Chandra Som, Deputy Director of Sunamganj DAE said, water is entering the haors through broken embankment and overflowing in some places.
“The showers have reduced in the last two days. If no more rain occurs there will be no major damage,” he assured.

Over two decades ago, filmmaker Michael Bay had yet to dream up the high-speed car chases in ‘Ambulance’, but was instead focused on a team of deep-core oil drillers who were tasked with saving the world from an asteroid the size of Texas.
Perennial action hero Bruce Willis headlined the 1998 space movie, playing Harry S. Stamper, leader of the rough-and-tumble crew of newbie astronauts.
Advertisement
It may be hard to imagine now, but ‘Armageddon’ was only Michael Bay’s third feature, so landing Bruce Willis was a major coup, particularly since the director had been inspired by the action star’s movies since early in his career, reports ‘Variety’.
Trending
In an interview, Michael Bay went down memory lane and recalled Bruce Willis’ legacy and told Variety what makes the actor so iconic.
“Bruce, he’s a movie star,” Bay said.
“He can command the screen. He’s very funny too.”
Of working with the iconic actor, Michael Bay added: “He takes control of the cast, and he’s got a great fun energy and I had a great time. He was tough at first, and by the way, ‘Armageddon’ was a total fun set… It was almost like camp.”
And just like any good camper, Willis was a little mischievous on set. While the crew filmed scenes at NASA, Bay says the actor attempted to break into the space shuttle.
“They stopped prepping it for one hour, for us. We are on the gantry (the Orbiter Access Arm, which allows access into the shuttle), and Bruce was able to walk in,” Bay recalled, explaining that the actor was allowed to sit on the capsule door, but go no further.
“He goes to me, ‘Mike, we’re gonna do one take; the second take, I’m going to make a run for it and I’m going to go inside the shuttle’.”
So the pair walked from the cleanroom to the capsule door, Bay continued, “Bruce is about to break into the space shuttle… and these guys, all in suits, fully masked up, they’re like (wagging his finger side to side), ‘Uh, uh, uh’!”
Michael Bay recounts the happy memory as the world learns that Willis has been recently diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder caused by brain damage that affects a person’s ability to communicate.
“As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” reads the Willis family’s statement reads posted to social media by his wife Emma Heming Willis and their daughters Mabel and Evelyn, along with his ex-wife Demi Moore and their daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
“This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support,” the statement continues.
“We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”

New York lawmakers have dropped a provision to expand mobile sports betting licenses in the state’s 2023 budget.
On Thursday, Gov. Kathy Hochul introduced the latest budget deal, and a former provision to expand mobile sports betting licenses was noticeably missing.
The proposed legislation, from New York State Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow would have paved the way for New York to increase legal online sportsbooks from the current nine to 16.
The budget also dropped another proposal that would have gradually expanded sportsbooks — mandating two additional skins by January 2023 and authorizing up to 14 legal sportsbooks by 2023 and 16 by 2024.
MMA betting action on deck: Get $1,100 with Caesars New York promo code for UFC 273
Why Was The New York Sports Betting Proposal Dropped?
The most likely reason is tax revenue. Currently, the state has the highest tax rate on mobile sports betting in the nation — at 51%. Since mobile sports betting launched in January, New York has raked in over $150 million in tax revenue.
In the proposal to expand mobile sports betting licenses, Pretlow allowed for a gradual increase of sportsbooks balanced by a gradual decrease of the tax rate on mobile sports betting.
For example, the rate would drop to 50% after adding one more license. Once the number of sportsbooks increased to 15, the rate would drop to 25%.
But analysis shows that this trade-off might hurt tax revenue. Senate Racing, Gaming, and Wagering Chair Joe Addabbo told Legal Sports Report that the changes might be premature, given that New York’s sports betting market only launched three months ago.
Let’s shake on it: Caesars Sportsbook named official sports betting partner of New York Mets
Future Of New York Gaming Still Bright
Despite nixing the expansion of mobile betting licenses, New York lawmakers are increasingly positive about sports betting and gaming in general.
Sen. Addabbo has sponsored a bill to legalize mobile casinos in the state through partnerships with retail casinos, New York State tribal nations, and independent contractors.
And Gov. Hochul has expressed interest in opening retail casinos in New York City, which former Governor Andrew Cuomo adamantly opposed.
For now, though, the 2023 budget doesn’t include new changes to mobile sports betting. Gov. Hochul said the new budget should be passed within days. The deal was already six days late after an extension from April 1.
Hochul said in a press conference Thursday that the agreed-upon budget is $220 billion and is both balanced and fiscally responsible.

The Delhi High Court has dismissed an application by Red Bull seeking to injunct Pepsi from using tagline "Stimulates Mind. Energizes Body." for its energy drink Sting.
The court said plaintiff Red Bull has failed to establish a prima facie case in its favour and balance of convenience is also in favour of defendant Pepsico India Holdings Pvt Ltd for not granting interim injunction as the products of the defendants have been selling in the market with this tagline for almost five years.
Red Bull sought interim injunction against Pepsico, restraining it from using the tagline "Stimulates Mind. Energizes Body.", which is claimed to be deceptively similar to the plaintiff's registered trademark/ tagline "Vitalizes Body And Mind".
"Both the taglines used by the plaintiff and the defendants are descriptive and laudatory in nature. Whether the tagline of the plaintiff has acquired distinctiveness or secondary meaning in respect of the plaintiff's products can only be established at the stage of trial," Justice Amit Bansal said.
In 2018, Red Bull had filed a trademark suit in the high court for its mark "Vitalizes Body and Mind." against PepsiCo's use of its tagline "Stimulates Mind. Energizes Body" for its energy drink product Sting.
Red Bull claimed that the marks are similar and Pepsi's use of "Stimulates Mind. Energizes Body." amounts to infringement and passing off its trademark - "Vitalizes Body and Mind". It had argued that the mark had acquired distinctiveness and secondary meaning, thus entitled to protection.
Pepsi, represented by J Sagar Associates, defended its use of the tagline as being descriptive of the product and thus no action for infringement can lie. Pepsi had argued that Red Bull's trademark itself is invalid since it is in contravention of Section 9 of the Trade Marks Act.

Mattel has released its first-ever carbon neutral toys, including a Matchbox Tesla model made from recycled materials.
The new products represent an expansion of the toy company's sustainable offerings, according to a statement from Mattel. The company has pledged to use "100% recycled, recyclable or bio-based plastic materials in all its products and packaging by 2030," the statement said.
Mattel's Mega Bloks Green Town Line, a collection of construction toys for preschoolers, are certified carbon neutral by Natural Capital Partners, the statement said.
To reach this status, the Mega brand purchased carbon offsets from the Darkwood Forests Conservation project in Canada. In this case, the Darkwoods Forest Conservation project protects 156,000 acres of forest in British Columbia, Canada, according to their website.
Carbon offsets allow corporations and individuals to purchase carbon-reducing processes, like planting or protecting a forest, in order to offset carbon-emitting processes, like manufacturing or air travel.
The offset schemes have been criticized by climate experts for allowing the continued use of fossil fuels at a time when scientists say the world should be cutting them, as well as for being vague about quantifying the emissions they will reduce.
In addition to being carbon neutral, the Green Town toys are also created mostly from plant-based materials, rather than plastic derived from fossil fuels, said Mattel. The packaging is made from paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which "promotes responsible management of the world's forests." And the building block sets themselves feature eco-friendly elements, like a toy electric bus.
Mattel's other new sustainable offering is the Matchbox Tesla Roadster -- its first die-cast vehicle made from 99% recycled materials. The toy Tesla, which is also certified carbon neutral, is already sold out online.

A mum has stirred debate online after showing how she teaches her toddler son of "boundaries" when she breastfeeds him.
Mikaela de la Myco, from California, extended breastfeeding her two-year-old child, Marten, and recently took to TikTok asking for opinion when she demonstrated how she set boundaries for her son.
In the video, the parent asks her son if she wants milk and asks "Where do your hands go?"
Little Marten quickly places his hands on his knees and waits for his mum asking: "Which one?"
He points at her left breast and Mikaela signals her with hand gestures, indicating him to be patient.
Mikaela notices Marten's "annoyed" look and says they are "still working on it".
When she is ready and tells Marten to "go ahead", then she asks him again if he wants to switch to drink from another breast.
"Honestly, I know this probably looks weird to a lot of people, but I almost quit bf [breastfeeding] because this was so hard to accomplish without any good extended breastfeeding models," she wrote at the end the video.
"Is this 'gross' to you? The problem didn't start until Marten became a toddler, what do you think?"
Some mothers said Marten is "too old" and shouldn't be nursing at that age.
One said: "I think he’s too old... just my opinion — I feel like at that stage it’s more for you not wanting to let go [than] his benefit.
"That could be harmful later."
A second added: "I feel he is old enough to drink out of a sippie cup, why not just pump?"
Another shared their own experience, saying: "I was breastfed until I was three, it taught me to eat, to calm down...I struggled (and still do) with overeating in stressful situations my entire life."
Others appreciated Mikaela for teaching her son about consent, with one commenting: "It's beautiful and you're nourishing him.
"He looks vibrant and radiant, I think you're doing a wonderful job."
Another didn't see extended breastfeeding as a "gross thing" and said it's just uncommon and new to the mainstream.

Too Few Are Telling the Truth
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), and Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCO). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would break away. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken away from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Also, we could use contributions of content. If you write or want to start writing and you share our patriotic, conservative, America First ideology, contact us. The contact form on this and all pages on the site goes directly to me.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- Freedom Phone: Use promo code “MAGA” and get $50 off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them we sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,

Artist Somnath Hore's artworks to go under the hammer
By IANS | Published: April 9, 2022 08:54 PM2022-04-09T20:54:13+5:302022-04-09T21:15:07+5:30
New Delhi, April 9 Prinseps will begin their auction season on April 29th, 2022, with Somnath Hore's works ...
New Delhi, April 9 Prinseps will begin their auction season on April 29th, 2022, with Somnath Hore's works on paper, which will be open to online bidding. There will be 82 lots available for bidding. The works of Somnath Hore are regarded as the most expressive objectification of the essence of wounded humanity. Each of Hore's physical works on paper will be available in the upcoming auction. All 82 works on paper are priced between Rs 50,000 and Rs 500,000.
The spectacle of man's suffering steals the show in Somnath's vision. Hore's paintings, prints, and drawings depict a torn and injured world, resembling social realism. His body of work is an understanding of the human condition that arose from his early adulthood experiences with wars, Japanese bombings, and man-made famine.
Brijeshwari Kumari Gohil, Vice-President and Curator at Prinseps, says of the upcoming Somnath Hore auction, "Each of these works has a unique story to tell, one that helps us understand Indian history and the artistic climate of the subcontinent during this scintillating era."
Prinseps is overjoyed to be able to offer such a diverse range of Somnath Hore works to collectors. This is the sage of an artist whose life was an expressive canvas on which he felt deeply for human suffering."
Following the Somnath Hore Auction, Prinseps will host the Modern Art Auction.

The Commissioner of Official Languages says a preliminary report into whether a speech by the chief executive of Air Canada in November met the airline’s obligations under the Official Languages Act has established that the complaints are founded.
However, Raymond Théberge notes that the conclusions are not final and that the parties involved will have the chance to provide comment before the final report.
Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau sparked an outcry last year when, following a speech almost entirely in English, he told reporters he did not need to learn French to get by in Montreal.
He later apologized and has since started taking French lessons.
The Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages received 2,680 complaints as of Feb. 28 about the speech to make it the most complaints ever received for a single case.
Théberge said in his statement that bilingualism is a crucial skill for leaders, especially those in institutions subject to the Official Languages Act.

The one-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, once a nonstarter for most Israelis and Palestinians, is regaining popularity.
Some 33% of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip support one state for both Israelis and Palestinians, according to a recent poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR).
This marks an unusual rise in the popularity of the one-state solution, which only three months ago had the support of less than 24% of Palestinians. Such a state would include an almost equal number of Jews and Palestinians, who together would amount to a population of nearly 14 million citizens living in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.
This change in Palestinian public opinion could have several reasons. Khalil Shikaki, director of PSR, explains that “after the clashes last May and June, and the escalation between Israel and Hamas, we noticed a sharp drop of support to the idea. What we see now could be the effect of time passing, and people going back to the stance they had before the escalation, which may have caused them to lose trust in the idea.”
“Supporters of the one-state solution are usually younger Palestinians, nationalist and secular. In the long run, one of the causes for this idea becoming popular is them losing trust in the possibility of the two-state solution. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case this time,” said Shikaki, who has been monitoring Palestinian public opinion for almost 30 years.
PLO member and former minister of prisoner affairs for the Palestinian Authority, Ashraf al-Ajrami, believes uncertainty about the viability of a two-state solution has led to the rise in support.
“I think Palestinians support the one-state solution because of their disappointment in the current situation,” Ajrami said. “People don’t believe there is a situation in which the Israeli government will negotiate for a two-state solution.”
A vocal supporter of the two-state solution, Ajrami thinks the support for a single state stems from a misunderstanding of what it would mean in practice. “I think there is confusion, especially among young Palestinians. They believe they will have equal political rights, which is something the Israeli right-wing would never agree to,” he said.
The numbers back Ajrami up. In a poll conducted in 2020 by Tel Aviv University and the PSR, 42% of Israeli right-wing voters openly supported “an apartheid state” as a solution to the conflict, while only 13% supported one democratic state, with equal rights for all.
A surprising advocate for a single democratic state as a solution to the conflict is David Elhayani, head of the Jordan Valley Regional Council, and one of the leaders of the settler movement in Israel. “This is where things are headed, whether we like it or not. The two-state solution is dead, and you can’t annex the West Bank and Jordan Valley without giving the Palestinians full civil equality. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial of reality,” he said.
While Elhayani preaches for improving the quality of life of Palestinians living under his council’s jurisdiction, his stance is quite controversial among other settler leaders. “I can tell you more or less who among my counterparts would support my views, and who won’t. It’s far from a consensus,” he said.
“The idea of a binational, Arab-Jewish state was first proposed back in the 1920s and was widely rejected by both sides,” according to historian Benny Morris, an expert on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. “After the 1967 war, no one talked about it seriously, until the 1990s. But, even then, the one man who offered it seriously on the Palestinian side was asked by the PLO to stop advocating for it, and he did, very quickly.”
The official stance of the Palestinian Authority is still a complete rejection of the idea of one state for both peoples.
“Three years ago, I went to a convention discussing the one-state concept,” a member of the PA said on condition of anonymity. “There were people from all around the West Bank, and we talked about how this one democratic state might work. But there was absolutely no backing from above, and we never met again. The message was clear.”
Ajrami seems to take the same hard line as the rest of the PLO. “The leadership understands that the two-state solution is the only viable solution, supported by the international community.” He adds, however, that if the one-state solution becomes more popular, we might see Palestinian leaders supporting it publicly.
“If, a few years from now, it will be impossible to arrive at a two-state solution, the only way [forward] for Palestinians will be the one-state solution. This was the original plan of the PLO: one democratic state across all of historic Palestine, with Jews, Christians, and Muslims living as equals,” Ajrami said.
This doesn’t surprise Morris, who claims that one state “from the river to the sea,” the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, has always been the PLO’s real plan, though many say this slogan means a Palestinian state.
But Morris is far from believing that one state could ever be a peaceful solution. “There will always be extremists, from both sides, who would interfere. Either Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad activists will carry out attacks, and destroy any chance for it to work,” he adds.

Citizens in urban as well as semi-urban and rural areas can now access these insurance services at their nearest CSC and secure their as well as their families future."
Further, in the agreement, licensed Village-level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) solicit Tata AIA Life’s insurance products from the customer who comes to the CSCs for their services. If the consumers decide to buy the solution, they can complete the purchase by paying the premium to the VLEs by cash, cheque, or other electronic transfer modes like an e-wallet. Upon receiving the premium, the VLE logs into the Digital Seva Portal with individual login credentials. The CSC redirects the VLE to the Tata AIA Life platform and completes the application form and KYC process. Following the payment notification through payment API, the payment receipt gets generated. VLEs download the pdf receipt, print, and hand over the same to the customer.

Lewandowski penalty extends Bayern lead
Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich have overcome a lacklustre performance to earn a crucial 1-0 home win over Augsburg thanks to a late penalty from their master marksman Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish maestro netted his 32nd goal of the season eight minutes from time on Saturday to seal the win and move Bayern another step closer to a now-inevitable 10th straight title.
Second-placed Borussia Dortmund had won 2-0 at struggling Stuttgart on Friday, but Bayern's somewhat fortunate win means the gap is again nine points with just five games left this term.
Bayern had been beaten 1-0 at Villarreal in midweek in their Champions League quarter-final first leg and they again looked off the pace against fellow Bavarians Augsburg, before a debatable Reece Oxford handball opened the door.
Elsewhere in the German top-flight, Wolfsburg overran third-bottom Arminia Bielefeld 4-0 thanks in part to two Lukas Nmecha goals, Cologne came back from 2-0 down to beat Mainz 3-2 and bottom side Greuther Furth lost 2-0 at home to Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in collaboration with the US-ASEAN Business Council (US-ABC) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) on April 8 officially launched the ASEAN SME Academy 2.0, an upgraded version of an online learning platform.
Aiming to reach more micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and help accelerate their businesses recoveries, the version introduces many new features including courses available in Bahasa Indonesia, Thai, and Vietnamese, attractive visual design features, and top-quality resources including specific modules for COVID-19 recovery.
Overall, the primary goal of the academy is to provide a platform for ASEAN MSMEs to develop their digital skills.
In his remarks, Dato Lim Jock Hoi, Secretary-General of ASEAN, underscored that digitalisation is a new power of growth and competitiveness for every business and every economy. Changing the broader business mindset to harness digital technology is the key to success, he noted.
The ASEAN SME Academy 2.0 is a partnership between the US private sector, the US Government, and ASEAN to help empower small businesses in Southeast Asia, said Ambassador Ted Osius, President and CEO of US-ABC.
Kate Rebholz, Chargé d’Affaires, a.i., of the US Mission to ASEAN, stressed that the new initiative will support thousands of SMEs across Southeast Asia as they recover from the pandemic, build resilience for the future, and adapt to the growing digital economy.
Steven G. Olive, Mission Director for the USAID Regional Development Mission for Asia, highlighted that USAID’s renewed support and private-sector partnerships will help equip the bloc’s SMEs with the necessary training, tools, and resources to pave the way for a more prosperous Indo-Pacific. /.

India's forex reserves slump by $11.17 bn to $606.47 bn; steepest fall ever
1 min read . Updated: 09 Apr 2022, 01:53 PM ISTThis is the fourth consecutive week of decline in the country's forex reserves
This is the fourth consecutive week of decline in the country's forex reserves
India's foreign exchange (forex) reserves dipped by $11.17 billion in the week ended April 1, the steepest weekly fall ever, due to a sharp plunge in foreign currency assets, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) data showed.
According to the RBI's weekly statistical supplement, India's forex reserves slumped by $11.173 billion to $606.475 billion for the week ended April 1. This is the highest decline in the country's forex reserves ever.
This is the fourth consecutive week of decline in the country's forex reserves as the RBI continues to intervene in the currency markets by way of dollar sales to prevent a slide in the value of the rupee amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
India's forex reserves had declined by $2.03 billion to $617.648 billion during the week ended March 25.
The forex reserves have declined by over $26 billion in the past four weeks for which the official data is available.
The biggest drop has been in the country's foreign currency assets. India's foreign currency assets dipped by $10.727 billion to $539.727 billion during the week ended April 1, 2022.
The foreign currency asset is the biggest component of the forex reserves. Expressed in US dollar terms, the foreign currency assets include the effect of appreciation or depreciation of non-dollar currencies like Euro, UK's Pound Sterling and Japanese Yen held in the foreign exchange reserves.
The value of gold reserves dropped by $507 million to $42.734 billion during the week under review.
The other two components of the forex reserves increased marginally. The value of India's Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) rose by $58 million to $18.879 billion.
India's reserve position in the IMF rose by $4 million to $5.136 billion during the week ended April 1, the RBI data showed.

A mother and child were wounded, the child seriously, in a shooting at the Tradewinds Apartments early Saturday morning, police said.
Police received a call about shots fired near the intersection of 13th Avenue North and 21st Street North at 1 a.m., Texas City Police Department spokesman Sgt. Allen Bjerke said.
A second call came shortly from a woman who said she'd been hit by a bullet while inside her apartment at Tradewinds Apartments, 1919 13th Ave. North, Bjerke said.
When police arrived, they found the woman outside her apartment and began treating a gunshot wound to her leg, Bjerke said. The woman asked someone to go check on her child in the apartment, and officers found a 2-or 3-year-old girl in bed with several gunshot wounds, Bjerke said.
The child was transported to a University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston hospital in critical condition and the woman, who is the child's mother, was transported in stable condition, Bjerke said.
Police don't have a suspect in custody and ask people with information to call the Texas City Police Department Criminal Investigations at 409-643-5720. The Mainland Communities Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest or charges filed in this case.

Boost for Marsch’s Leeds with 3-0 win at Watford
WATFORD, England (AP) — Leeds has moved further away from the relegation zone with a 3-0 win which inflicted another blow on Watford’s increasingly desperate campaign to stay in the Premier League. Raphinha put Jesse Marsch’s team ahead at Vicarage Road in the 21st, and Rodrigo doubled the lead in the 73rd. Jack Harrison fired in a third goal for the 16th-place visitors in the 85th. Leeds is starting to look safe for another year in the top tier. Watford is 19th and six points from safety with seven games left.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is investigating whether Louisiana’s health and environmental agencies discriminated against Black residents in connection with air pollution from existing and proposed facilities between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
The director of EPA's civil rights compliance office, Lilian Dorka, recently notified environmental groups and the state about the investigation of Louisiana's departments of health and environmental quality.
It involves two complaints. Both accuse the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality of paying too little attention to environmental justice; one also accuses the state Department of Health.
The complaints involve at least seven existing plants and two huge planned projects in two parishes in the industrial corridor between Louisiana's largest cities.
The two in planning are a $9.4 billion Formosa Plastics complex in St. James Parish and a $400 million grain terminal in St. John the Baptist Parish. Existing plants include the Denka Performance Elastomers plant, which the Japanese company bought in 2015 in St. John.
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality officials believe the agency's permit process is unbiased, press secretary Gregory Langley told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate. “LDEQ handles all issues with a fair and equitable approach," he added. "LDEQ will work with EPA to resolve this matter.”
Steven Russo, general counsel for the Louisiana Department of Health, told the newspaper, “We take these concerns very seriously. We have received the complaint in full from EPA and are reviewing it closely.”
In January, Administrator Michael Regan said EPA will make surprise inspections of industrial sites suspected of causing health problems through air and water pollution.
Environmental groups call the southeast Louisiana industrial corridor “Cancer Alley.”
“Nearly every census tract between Baton Rouge and New Orleans has ... a higher estimated cancer risk from air toxics than at least 95% of U.S. residents,” said a complaint from Tulane Environmental Law Clinic against the environmental department.
The department needs to set policies and procedures “that address and prevent the disproportionate burden of air pollution suffered by Black communities,” Professor Lisa Jordan, the law clinic’s director, said in an email to The Associated Press.
The complaint alleges that air emission permits approved for the grain terminal and chemical complex are part of a pattern dating back at least to 2016 and involving permits for at least six existing plants.
The clinic represents several groups fighting plans for the grain terminal, which they say is likely to release fine particle pollution.
Greenfield Chief Executive Officer Cal Williams told the newspaper Friday that the terminal’s emissions would be below EPA’s most stringent air quality standards.
Earthjustice and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which filed a complaint against both state departments, have complained that Denka's plant — the only U.S. facility making chloroprene — continues to release the carcinogen and that other nearby plants emit cancer-causing ethylene oxide.
The health department failed to give predominantly Black residents in St. John information about health threats from Denka's emissions, according to the complaint filed for the Concerned Citizens of St. John and the Sierra Club.
Their complaint also says the “Sunshine Project” complex planned near Donaldsonville by Formosa Plastics Group member FG LA LLC would release particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, volatile carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde and ethylene oxide.
“The Sunshine Project has been thoroughly vetted and approved by parish and state bodies because it relied on sound science in design and met all regulatory criteria," spokesperson Janile Parks said in a statement emailed to the AP.
Denka spokesman Jim Harris said state tumor registry figures don't show “widespread elevated cancer rates in St. John the Baptist Parish.”
State agencies “consider real science rather than sensational pseudo-studies," he told the newspaper.
According to a 2014 National Air Toxics Assessment by the EPA, the individual lifetime cancer risk from both chloroprene and ethylene oxide was at the rate of 2,000 cases per 1 million people — the nation's highest rate — near the Denka plant.
Denka’s chloroprene emissions have dropped dramatically since the company agreed to install new equipment in 2018. But during the past year, levels at several local monitoring sites have been above the EPA cancer risk level of 0.2 micrograms per cubic meter.
Denka has asked EPA to reconsider its listing of chloroprene as a likely human carcinogen, based on a company-sponsored peer-reviewed study.
Dorka said her office will look into whether DEQ runs its air pollution control program in ways that either have the intent or effect of subjecting individuals to racial discrimination, and into the state’s handling of Denka’s permits.
It will also review whether the health department has provided information about health threats from Denka and other nearby sources of pollution, she wrote.

(Bloomberg) — Rising food prices and turbulent global commodities markets are fueling a surge in wealth for the billionaire family behind America’s largest closely held company.
Most Read from Bloomberg
Three more members of the Cargill family — siblings James Cargill, Austen Cargill and Marianne Liebmann — have joined the ranks of the world’s 500 richest people thanks to their stakes in Minnesota-based food processor Cargill Inc. Each has a net worth of $5.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, up 20% this year.
Family members already among the Top 500 include Pauline Keinath, a great-grandaughter of founder William Wallace Cargill, and Gwendolyn Sontheim Meyer with fortunes of $7.8 billion each.
More than 20 members of the extended Cargill and MacMillan families control 87% of the closely held company, which was founded in 1865 with a single grain warehouse in Conover, Iowa. The Cargills ranked 11th on Bloomberg’s September list of the world’s wealthiest families with a collective fortune of $51 billion at the time.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sent shudders through global food and commodity markets that were already struggling with supply chain disruptions and low output due to drought and other weather conditions. The UN World Food Price Index for March reached a record high, with few signs of easing.
Big food companies have been beneficiaries of the shortages and volatility. Agricultural trading house Louis Dreyfus Co. said in March that profit surged 82% last year on grain price fluctuations and strong margins in oilseeds. The valuations of some the largest publicly traded food companies are rising fast, with Illinois-based Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. up more than 25% since Russia invaded in late February.
Cargill has periodically faced pressure to go public, but has resisted. Doing so would dilute the family’s stake and reduce its share of the company’s annual payouts. Family members collect an estimated 17% of net profits each year as a dividend, though not all their shares are equal. Now in its seventh generation, the Cargill-MacMillan extended family has grown to about 125 people.
In August, Cargill reported the biggest profit in its history, with almost $5 billion in net income during fiscal 2021 on revenue of $134.4 billion.
A spokesperson for the Cargills’ family office, Waycrosse, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Gregory Broussard, Cargill’s global head of financial trading at its risk-management unit, told Bloomberg this week that the move to ostracize Russia economically is likely to persist and will force markets to find new sources of everything from grain to fertilizer and fuel.
“We will exit this war from the supply side tighter than we entered it,” he said. “When people start throwing sanctions around, they don’t just dissipate overnight.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Eleven people were injured in a “major collision” Friday night in Austin, Texas, involving pedestrians and two vehicles, one of which hit a food truck, authorities said.
Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services tweeted that two of the victims sustained potential life-threatening injuries. Seven others sustained non-life-threatening injuries requiring medical evaluation. The other two didn’t require hospitalization.
The collision occurred in a popular area near downtown Austin where there are frequently several food carts stationed.
Jennifer Dunn, an employee at a nearby restaurant, told The Associated Press that a group of 25 people had just left to get ice cream at a food truck a few feet away when patrons inside the restaurant heard a loud boom.
Dunn said several members of the group then ran back inside injured and asking for help. Dunn said she and others ran to the scene where several people, including the drivers, appeared severely hurt.
“We work in the restaurant industry, so we are used to helping,” Dunn said. “I have been doing this for a long (time), so have the servers and we just wanted to help.”
Austin is the Texas state capital and home to the flagship campus of the University of Texas.

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen had quite the retirement ride on Saturday.
The 39-year-old Waley-Cohen marked his final race as a jockey by winning the world-famous Grand National horse race aboard a big outsider in 50-1 shot Noble Yeats.
“It's a fairy tale, it's a fantasy,” said Waley-Cohen, whose full-time job is a dentist.
In a dramatic end to a race run before a crowd of around 70,000 spectators, Noble Yeats reached the last of the 30 fences neck and neck with 15-2 favorite Any Second Now.
Noble Yeats pulled away on the long run to the finishing line on the 4 1/4 miles (6.4 kilometers) course and won by about three lengths.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WTAJ)– Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died after being hit by a car Saturday morning, according to a tweet from ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Schefter tweeted that Haskins’ agent confirmed that he was hit by a car in South Florida.
Haskins was drafted in the first round by the Washington Commanders, who were still known as the Redskins at the time. The Steelers gave Haskins a chance to resurrect his career in January 2021 when they signed him a month after being released by Washington. Humbled by the decision, Haskins stressed he was eager to work hard and absorb as much as he could from Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph. He made the roster as the third-stringer but only dressed once, serving as the backup in a tie with Detroit after Roethlisberger was placed into the COVID-19 protocol the night before the game.
I am devasted and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins. He quickly became part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers, both on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kalabrya, and his entire family during this difficult time.
Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin
Washington coach Ron Rivera said he was “absolutely heartbroken” to learn of Haskins’ death.
“Dwayne was a talented young man who had a long life ahead of him,” Rivera said in a release. “This is a very sad time and I am honestly at a loss for words. I know I speak for the rest of our team in saying he will be sorely missed. Our entire team is sending our heartfelt condolences and thoughts and prayers to the Haskins family at this time.”
Washington Commanders Head Coach Ron Rivera
Ohio State posted a photo of Haskins on its Twitter feed. It read: “Leader. Legend. Forever a Buckeye.”
“The world lost a great person today,” Steelers star T.J. Watt posted on Twitter. “When Dwayne first walked into the locker room I could tell he was an upbeat guy. He was always making people smile, never taking life for granted.”
Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert both praised Haskins for his improvement since joining the team, and the Steelers re-signed him to a one-year deal as a restricted free agent in March. He was expected to compete with Rudolph and Mitch Trubisky for a spot.
“We’re excited to see what Dwayne can provide, either from competition, or maybe he evolves as a starter,” Colbert said in January.
Haskins appeared to be working in South Florida this week with several teammates, including Trubisky and other skill position players, including running back Najee Harris and tight end Pat Freiermuth.
“Devastated,” Rudolph said on social media.
Haskins played at Ohio State where he lead the Buckeyes to a 13-1 season while throwing for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns.

Manchester United’s miserable season continued on Saturday as Everton boosted their Premier League survival hopes with a 1-0 win over Ralf Rangnick’s side at Goodison Park.
Out of all cup competitions, United were looking to earn a victory that would have moved them level on points with Tottenham Hotspur in fourth.
But their task was made all the more difficult when Anthony Gordon gave Everton a first-half lead.
For the Toffees, hovering above the relegation zone, the nerves showed after the break, but the visitors lacked the quality to get back into the match despite a wealth of attacking options on the pitch.
A late Cristiano Ronaldo effort was as close as United came to a leveller as they slipped to a loss that leaves the team with the most English top flight titles ever seventh in the standings, three points behind Spurs, who play Aston Villa later on Saturday.
Everton defended for their lives at the death, hanging on for a precious victory that helped them pull four points clear of 18th-placed Burnley, who travel to Norwich City on Sunday.
“We don’t score, we don’t even create proper chances to score,” United goalkeeper David de Gea told Sky Sports. “I don’t know what to say, to be honest.
“We’re not good enough, that’s for sure. It’s going to be very difficult now to be in the top four.
“Of course it’s not the perfect atmosphere. They were tired, they were nervous, but they keep going and keep fighting. They had more desire than us, which is not acceptable. It’s very sad to lose today.”
Brought back into the United starting lineup, Marcus Rashford looked lively on his 200th Premier League start early on, forcing two good saves out of home goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
The groans became more audible around Goodison as the half wore on, with their error-prone team misplacing pass after pass.
The hosts did not muster an attack until the 27th minute, but they got the stroke of luck they needed as Gordon’s effort was deflected past David de Gea off United captain Harry Maguire’s back and in, as the home fans roared with delight.
Buoyed by their break, Brazilian striker Richarlison found the confidence to send a dipping strike towards goal, again aided by a deflection, which forced De Gea into an agile stop.
With their season in danger of fizzling out, United needed a response in the second half. Bruno Fernandes picked out a brilliant pass for Rashford, but he failed to connect when through on goal.
For all their possession in the second half – United had almost 75% of the ball after the interval – they could not find the killer pass, with a Paul Pogba effort from distance and Ronaldo’s late snap shot their only real opportunities of note.
Rangnick rang the changes, but it had little effect, as United meander towards another disappointing season finish – five years without a trophy come the end of this campaign, and nine since their last league triumph.
Everton will now be focusing on prolonging their 68-year stay in the top flight.
“Coming off the back of the last game there was a lot of disappointment,” midfielder Fabian Delph told BT Sport, referring to their midweek loss away at fellow strugglers Burnley. “Heads were down, as you’d expect. We came into it with a good game plan.
“It was about sticking together and riding the storm, and we managed to do that. It’s a massive relief for the players, management and everyone associated with Everton.”

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Shortly after Riley Briones Jr. arrived in federal prison, he cut his long, braided hair in a symbolic death of his old self.
As the leader of a violent gang and just shy of 18, Briones drove the getaway car in a robbery turned deadly on the Salt River-Pima Maricopa Indian Community outside Phoenix in 1994. He was convicted of murder and given a mandatory sentence of life without parole.
In prison, he has been baptized a Christian, ministers to other inmates who call him Brother Briones, got his GED and has a spotless disciplinary record, his attorneys say in their latest bid to get the now 45-year-old’s sentence cut short.
Advertisement
“He’s clearly on the side of the line where he should be walking free,” said his attorney, Easha Anand.
The U.S. Supreme Court opened the door for that possibility with a 2012 ruling that said only the rare, irredeemable juvenile offender should serve life in prison. Over the past decade, most of the 39 defendants in federal cases who received that sentence have gotten a reprieve and are serving far fewer years behind bars.
Briones is among those whose life sentences have been upheld. His attorneys attorneys recently petitioned the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to give Briones another chance to reduce it.
At the same time, more than 60 legal experts and scholars have asked the federal government to cap sentences for juvenile offenders at 30 years, create a committee to review life sentences in the future and reconsider its stance in Briones' case.
Prosecutors in Briones' case have until May to respond to the latest petition. They've previously acknowledged he's improved in prison but say that's not worthy of early release because he has minimized his role in the “Eastside Crips Rolling 30s” and its crimes that terrorized Salt River amid a surge of gang violence on Native American reservations in the 1990s.
Advertisement
Briones' prison sentence started in 1997 after he was convicted in the death of Brian Patrick Lindsay, a Northern Arizona University student who was home for the summer and working a solo shift at a Subway restaurant.
Briones drove four other gang members to the restaurant on May 15, 1994, and waited outside. Lindsay was preparing sandwiches when one of the gang members went outside to talk to Briones, came back inside and shot Lindsay in the face. The shooter pumped more bullets into Lindsay as he lay on the floor.
The gang took the food and a bank bag with $100.
Prosecutors said the murder was the most egregious of the violent crimes that Briones helped plot and carry out on the reservation about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from Phoenix. But there were others that demonstrated a “murderous, unrepentant and unapologetic attitude,” they said, including drive-by shootings and fires set at rival gang members' homes.
Briones also was convicted of arson, tampering with a witness and assault with a dangerous weapon. Three of his co-defendants in Lindsay's death were sentenced to life in prison. One cooperated with authorities and received a lesser term.
Because Briones was a juvenile at the time of the murder, he was eligible for a resentence after the Supreme Court’s 2012 decision in Miller v. Alabama. It was part of a series of cases in which the court found minors should be treated differently from adults, partly because of a lack of maturity.
Advertisement
The February letter seeking reform from the Justice Department pointed to statistics that show the median sentence for adults convicted of murder in the federal system is 20 years — nearly half the median for the juvenile offenders. The agency did not respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
Briones' case has ping-ponged through courts as laws changed regarding juvenile offenders. A three-judge 9th Circuit panel most recently ruled against Briones, who is enrolled San Carlos Apache and Salt River Pima-Maricopa. The full court could reconsider.
Emails and a phone message left for Lindsay's parents were not returned. In a letter to the court during Briones' 2016 resentencing, Sharyn and Brian Lindsay said the passing of time has done little to mend their hearts.
“Isn't a lifetime without our son enough without having to go through another court proceeding?” they wrote.
They were in the courtroom during the trial when prosecutors played the 911 recording in which Lindsay told dispatchers through a mouthful of blood that he had been shot.
“I can still almost hear that tape,” Paul Charlton, one of the prosecutors at the time, recently told The Associated Press. “And if you had been through that trial, if you had seen the callous and remorseless way in which these individuals faced the evidence against them and their lack of remorse at that time, most people would be as I remain today, unsympathetic to Mr. Briones’ arguments.”

Bennit Hayes, who served time with Briones at the federal prison in Beaumont, Texas, said he believes Briones is a changed man. He said Briones studied intently, worked hard and encouraged others to lead better lives.
“He was the light in the candle that I put up against everything else going forward," said Hayes, whose sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama in 2016.
Briones now is at the federal prison in metropolitan Phoenix, near Carmen Briones’ home on the Salt River reservation. She said they keep in contact but haven't seen each other since last May because of pandemic restrictions.
Releasing Riley Briones from prison would mean they could be a family in a more meaningful way, she said. But whatever the 9th Circuit decides, she said it won’t change who her husband has become.
“He’s still going to continue wherever he’s at to minister, to mentor, to be a positive example and give guidance to those who he has contact with,” said Carmen Briones, who is Pascua Yaqui. “We’ve had enough appeals come and go that ... wisdom would tell you just pray and see what happens.”

3 people killed, weapons stolen at Georgia shooting range, officials say
Three people were killed on Friday in an apparent robbery at the Lock Stock & Barrel Shooting Range in Grantville, Georgia, according to local police officials.
The shooting occurred around 5:30 p.m., the Grantville Police Department said in a statement on Facebook. Grantville is about 50 miles southwest of Atlanta.
Officers were dispatched to the range shortly after 8 p.m., where they found the owner, his wife and their grandson murdered, Grantville Police said. Approximately 40 weapons and a camera DVR were also taken from the scene, they added.
Officials did not specify how the three victims were killed.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the incident, the agency said to CNN in an email.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) is involved in the investigation due to the number of weapons taken, police said. Members of the Coweta County Sheriff's Department are also assisting.
Authorities are asking anyone that drove by the shooting range between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Friday, who may have seen vehicles other than a white Ford dual-rear-wheel truck and a black Ford Expedition, to contact them.
The ATF, City of Grantville and National Shooting Sports Foundation have announced a combined reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the triple murder, armed robbery, and theft of firearms from the shooting range, the ATF said in a news release.
ATF is offering a reward of up to $5,000, which will be matched by the City of Grantville and NSSF for a total of up to $15,000, the release said.
"ATF and our law enforcement partners will work tirelessly to bring the killer(s) to justice," said Atlanta Field Division Special Agent in Charge Benjamin P. Gibbons. "The brutality of these senseless murders along with the fact that these killer(s) have acquired additional firearms make solving this case our top priority."

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A small archipelago off Mexico’s Pacific coast that had been home to an island prison colony is now ready to receive tourists.
Getting to Islas Marias, however, will be a challenge for even the sturdiest tourist: a five-hour boat ride in often choppy waters.
But some people, like Beatriz Maldonado, are already imagining the voyage. When Maldonado was imprisoned between those “walls of water” — as a Mexican writer also confined there described it — she thought she would never see her mother again.
Maldonado only spent one year of her six-year sentence there for drug and weapons possession, but it was the most painful. “I lost my smile, my happiness,” she said. Now at age 55, a laundry worker and an activist advocating for other imprisoned women, she wants to return to close wounds.
The Islas Marias prison colony was founded in 1905 on Mother María Island, the largest of the four islands and the only inhabited one more than 60 miles off the coast of Nayarit state. Frequently buffeted by hurricanes scraping along Mexico’s coast, the government closed the prison in 2019.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador had it converted into an environmental education center, though which some 150 youths have passed. Now the government wants to make it an ecotourism destination where visitors can watch sea birds and enjoy the beaches.
Last year, authorities said they would now allow camping or build hotels, because it is a protected reserve. It was unclear if any lodging would be provided in the existing buildings, but without it, drawing tourists could be difficult. It is not as easily accessible as Alcatraz, the infamous prison accessed from San Francisco. It could end up like the Panamanian island prison colony Coiba, closed in 2004, that is being reclaimed by the jungle.
Maldonado planned to watch López Obrador’s visit to the island this weekend. “I would have liked to slip myself into his pocket,” she said.
The island now is nothing like the dirt-floored warehouse-like prison dorms with five bathrooms for 500 women that Maldonado remembers. “We lived in a chicken coop,” she said.
Now a colorful mural of former South African leader Nelson Mandela, himself held for years on an island prison, welcomes visitors to remodeled buildings, a whitewashed church and a cultural center.
“What was a hell is becoming a paradise,” López Obrador said.
There was a time when it was considered the “tomb of the Pacific.”
Writer José Revueltas, imprisoned there during the 1930s for his work in the Communist Party, said the prison was much more terrible than he could describe in his book “Walls of Water.” The worst couldn’t be described, he said, because of modesty or because you don’t know how to show that it’s really true.
Island prison colonies were common around the world to make escapes nearly impossible or to rehabilitate through forced labor. Most tried to be self-sufficient.
Prisoners on Mother María Island harvested salt and farmed shrimp. They tried to make a little money brewing their own alcohol from fermented fruits, illegally trading exotic birds or killing boa constrictors to make belts.
In later years, it was known as a “prison without walls” where some prisoners lived with their families in semi-freedom and relatively good conditions.
That changed when President Felipe Calderon launched the war against the drug cartels in 2006 and hundreds of new prisoners were sent there. In 2013, the inmate population reached 8,000.
Maldonado served her time during that era. She said the women, who were the minority, were the worst treated. Unlike the men, they weren’t allowed outside the fences even though they had skills and barely received enough food. Maldonado’s weight dropped to about 45 pounds. “They didn’t pay attention to us when someone got sick,” she said. “My friend’s gallbladder ruptured.”
The extreme isolation was the most punishing part, broken only on the 15th of every month when they were allowed a 10-minute phone call with a relative. Some who tried to escape drowned. Occasionally the Navy rescued others who set out on improvised crafts.
“The boats came on Thursdays to bring us supplies and letters, and I saw the tears of my mother on the stained pages,” Maldonado said. “The worst was thinking that I would never see her again.”
Infrequently some relatives made visits that then involved 12 hours at sea.
Maldonado’s one colorful memory was of a tube of red lipstick, the only personal item she took. When it ran out she solemnly buried it because she felt like it gave her life.
A year after Maldonado was transferred to a prison in Mexico City, six people died on the island in a riot sparked by a lack of food.
It was closed in 2019 because of the high operating costs, some $150 a day per prisoner, which was much higher than on the mainland. Prison reform had also significantly reduced its inmate population.
Devil’s Island in French Guiana, immortalized in the film “Papillon,” closed in 1946. Alcatraz closed in 1963. Later, others in Chile, Costa Rica and Brazil were shuttered. The most abrupt was Peru’s El Fronton in 1986 when the government used gun boats to put down a riot, killing more than 100 inmates.
Maldonado applauded the Islas Marias closure and supports the idea of inviting visitors. She said the proceeds should go to re-insertion programs for inmates.
She has already written to former cellmates to see if they’d like to go with her to the place she thought she’d never see again.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WEWS) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died after being hit by a dump truck early Saturday morning in Florida, authorities said.
"He was attempting to cross the westbound lanes of Interstate 595 when there was oncoming traffic," Florida Highway Patrol stated.
It's unclear why Haskins was attempting to cross a busy interstate.
According to ESPN, Haskins was in Florida training with his teammates.
Haskins played college football at Ohio State and set Big Ten records for passing yards and touchdown passes in a single season.
He skipped his final years in Columbus and entered the 2019 draft.
In the 2021 offseason he was signed by the Steelers, and last month he signed a one-year restricted free agent tender with the team.
Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin said the team is heartbroken over the loss of Haskins and called him a friend to many.

Hunter Biden’s access to lucrative financial opportunities also came with expectations — including kicking back as much as 50% of his earnings to his dad, text messages on his old laptop show.
“I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” Hunter Biden groused to daughter Naomi in January 2019. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.” Pop is Joe Biden.
The laptop — infamously abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019 — does not contain any direct evidence of such money transfers, but does show that Hunter was routinely on the hook for his father’s household expenses while Joe Biden was vice president.
The expenses are spelled out in an email to Hunter from business partner Eric Schwerin from June 5, 2010, entitled “JRB Bills.” They concerned the upkeep of Joe Biden’s palatial lakefront home in the wealthy Greenville enclave of Wilmington, Del. JBR are President Biden’s initials.
There were $1,239 in repairs to an air conditioner at “mom-mom’s cottage,” and another $1,475 to a painter for “back wall and columns at the lake house.” There was also another $2,600 for fixing up a “stone retaining wall at the lake” and $475 “for shutters.”
In an email five days later, Schwerin said he received Joe Biden’s “Delaware tax refund check,” which suggests he had personal access to the veep’s finances.
Schwerin was serving as president of Rosemont Seneca Partners, Hunter Biden’s Chinese-linked investment firm. The email ties President Biden even closer to the messy web of his son’s business dealings.
There’s also evidence Joe Biden sometimes reimbursed his son.
“I am depositing it in his account and writing a check in that amount back to you since he owes it to you. Don’t think I need to run it by him, but if you want to go ahead,” Schwerin wrote.
In a July 6, 2010 email titled “JRB Future Memo,” Schwerin said he was in touch with the vice president about his personal financial matters and was eager to start discussions with him about how to cash in when he left office.
“Your Dad just called me (about his mortgage) and mentioned he’d be out a lot soon and not really back until Labor Day … He could use some positive news about his future earnings potential.”
Father and son’s linked finances went well beyond household upkeep and sometimes spilled over into Hunter Biden’s debauched personal life.
In May 2018 during a drug and alcohol binge in Los Angeles, Hunter Biden accidentally transferred around $25,000 to an escort named “Gulnora.” He was immediately visited by the Secret Service — suggesting that the money came from a joint account with his father.
Hunter received a series of text messages from a former agent who repeatedly urged him to come out of his hotel room and reminded him “this is linked to Celtic’s account.” “Celtic” was Joe Biden’s Secret Service code name when he was vice president.

Jennifer Aniston Swears by This Drugstore Product for Dewy Skin at 53
This item is the secret behind her plumped, glowing look.
Looking at Jennifer Aniston today, you'd think it was 1994, and she was playing Rachel Green on Friends. In short, she's barely aged at all. Whether she's been starring on The Morning Show alongside Reese Witherspoon or working on her haircare brand LolaVie, the beloved actor has managed to remain fresh-faced and effortlessly beautiful over the years. While her luscious locks first caught our eye, it's the way she's mastered the art of aging gracefully that keeps people talking. Read on to discover the drugstore product Aniston swears by for dewy skin at 53 years old.
RELATED: Goldie Hawn Swears by This Grocery Store Product for Perfect Skin at 76.
This inexpensive drugstore product is how Aniston keeps her skin dewy.
Aniston tells Shape the one product she can't live without is moisturizer. The actor, who is an ambassador for Aveeno, makes sure to use the brand's $17 Overnight Hydrating Facial Moisturizer regularly and credits it for her glowing face. By letting it work its magic while she sleeps, Aniston says she wakes up with "dewy, glowing, twinkling skin."
There are other benefits to using this product, too. The ultra-hydrating moisturizer features hyaluronic acid, which helps skin retain moisture, says Harvard Health Publishing. A 2017 study in Clinical, Cosmetic, and Investigational Dermatology reveals that the ingredient also decreases the depth of wrinkles and increases skin elasticity.
Self-care is important to the superstar.
Aniston knows how important self-care is and has embraced it since the early days of her career. "I think you have to have a nice amount of 'me' time, whatever it is," she tells Shape. Back then, she would come home from work and sit and watch the sunsets. "They're so beautiful, and it would just be a nice little time to chill out," she explains.
To practice self-care now, she meditates before she starts her mornings—something that could also contribute to her glowing skin. "Because meditation lowers stress levels, it can prevent and manage the detrimental effects of stress on the skin," holistic health practitioner Shari Auth, DACM, LAC, LMT, tells New Beauty. "Meditation helps to relax muscular tension in the face, improving the muscles that can cause wrinkles."
Exercise is important for her, too. According to InStyle, her go-to fitness routine includes Pilates and what she calls "'15-15-15,' a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run" workout. She says she needs to exercise every day even if it's just 10 minutes on a trampoline.

Sunday spa days are a regular part of her week.
The actor tells Shape that Sunday is her "spa day," and that includes a mini facial with a scrub and a mask.
To get into full relaxation mode, Aniston also puts on Pandora's spa radio station and does her beauty routine before spending time with friends and family, according to SELF. At the end of the weekend, she treats herself and opts for "a night of pasta or something homemade, where family gets together and we cook."
She embraces easily accessible beauty products.
Aniston tells Refinery29 that Aveeno isn't the only drugstore beauty brand she's a fan of: She also loves L'Oréal's Lash Out Mascara and Neutrogena soap.
She grew up using these products and tells InStyle that she credits her love of accessible products to her mom. "My mom told me to start moisturizing when I turned 15," she says, adding that she's used Aveeno ever since.
The next time you're at the drugstore, pick up her favorite moisturizer, mascara, and soap to channel your favorite Friends star. After all, the ageless beauty definitely knows what she's talking about.

Marcus Rashford breaks Man Utd record held by Ryan Giggs after being named in line-up against Everton
MARCUS RASHFORD has become the youngest player to reach 200 Premier League appearances for Manchester United following his start against Everton on Saturday.
Red Devils legend Ryan Giggs previously held the record, having notched a double century of caps at the age of 24 years and 290 days.
But Rashford, 24, has managed to reach the feat 135 days sooner after returning to Ralf Rangnick's starting line-up against the Toffees.
His record-breaking appearance was ultimately a day to forget for United, who significantly dampened their Champions League hopes following a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park.
The England international did not start in either of United's last two matches against Atletico Madrid and Leicester, but was called upon as a substitute on both occasions.
Rangnick made six changes against Everton from the side that drew with Leicester, opting for Rashford, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho in a front three.
Although Rashford has been a stalwart at Man United since breaking on to the scene under Louis van Gaal in February 2016, he is set for his worst season since 2016/17 in terms of appearances.
The start against Everton was only his 21st Premier League appearance of the 2021/22 campaign, and he has only contributed four goals in that time.
By contrast, the academy graduate has managed at least 30 appearances in each of the last five seasons, with a best return of 17 goals in 2019/20.
Although Rashford's future at Old Trafford is seemingly unclear - and he may well leave the club in the summer for new pastures - the winger would leave Old Trafford a record-breaker.

Despite losing this record, one-club hero Ryan Giggs still holds Man United's all-time Premier League appearance feat of 632 caps, having played there for over 24 years.
Throughout Giggs' illustrious career, he accrued a total of 109 goals and 164 assists in the competition.

Bundesliga: Robert Lewandowski scores late as Bayern Munich beat Augsburg 1-0
Lewandowski converted a late penalty as Bayern Munich rebounded from its Champions League defeat to beat Augsburg 1-0 on Saturday and take another step toward a record-extending 10th consecutive title.
Berlin: Robert Lewandowski converted a late penalty as Bayern Munich rebounded from its Champions League defeat to beat Augsburg 1-0 on Saturday and take another step toward a record-extending 10th consecutive title.
It was Lewandowski’s 32nd league goal in 29 matches this season and saw Bayern move nine points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. The two teams meet in Munich on 23 April.
Augsburg remained six points above the drop zone.
Bayern surprisingly lost 1-0 at Villarreal in the first leg of the quarterfinals on Wednesday. The Spanish team visits Munich on Tuesday and Bayern appeared to have one eye on that match in a disappointing first half against Augsburg.
Bayern had just four shots on goal and none on target in the first 45 minutes but improved after the break.
It eventually broke the deadlock eight minutes from time. The referee had initially waved play on but revoked his decision and awarded Bayern the spotkick following a video review for a handball by Augsburg defender Reece Oxford.
Bayern almost doubled its lead moments later but Joshua Kimmich’s long-range effort crashed off the crossbar.
RELEGATION FIGHT
Lukas Nmecha scored twice to set Wolfsburg on its way to a convincing 4-0 win over relegation-threatened Arminia Bielefeld.
Nmecha fired Wolfsburg into the lead in the 11th minute and doubled his tally with a header shortly before halftime. Maximilian Arnold and Max Kruse wrapped up the points within eight minutes of the second half.
Bielefeld remained above Hertha Berlin on goal difference. Hertha, which is second last, hosts Union Berlin later in a high-stakes city derby.
Last-place Greuther Fürth lost 2-0 at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Cologne scored three goals in the final half-hour to recover from 2-0 down and beat Mainz 3-2 to boost its hopes of European qualification.
