On Saturday, participants came together for the 2022 Relay For Life at Penn State — marking the first in-person Relay For Life at Penn State event in three years.
The event was hosted by Relay for Life at Penn State, a student group and chapter of Relay for Life of the American Cancer Society, with the mission to “celebrate those who have beat cancer, remember those we have lost to cancer and fight back for all that cancer has taken from us,” according to programs.
Relay for Life at Penn State has raised over $1.2 million for the American Cancer Society since its formation in 2014, according to its website.
In an open letter from Executive Event Director Lily Whitmoyer, she said she was “excited” for the return to an in-person format.
“We worked hard to continue the impact of Relay for Life at Penn State this year despite the pandemic and other hardship,” Whitmoyer said. “Celebrate, Remember, fight back. Always.”
Throughout the day, Penn State students, families and other members of the cancer community wore lavender — a color symbolizing all cancers — and walked laps around Penn State's Multi-Sport Facility.
During the Survivor Hour, student Julia Petrucci read a poem called “What Cancer Cannot Do,” and shared the story of Carol Findley, a registered cancer survivor.
“I’ve reached a milestone where over half of my life I’ve been a cancer survivor,” Petrucci (senior-biobehavioral health) said while reading Findley’s statement.
Much of the cancer research has been focused on the disease itself, but more needs to be done to focus on how to manage the long term side effects... We still have much more to do before we live in a world free of cancer.”
Petrucci, mission overall of the Mission Committee, said she's a combination of the Survivorship and Advocacy Committee and the Luminaria Committee.
“It’s really special to honor, celebrate and remember those that are still fighting cancer or have passed away due to cancer,” she said.
Though Relay for Life at Penn State hosts fundraising events like date auctions and 5K races throughout the year, according to Petrucci, the Walk-a-Thon is the organization’s “big event.”
“It’s kind of what we work for all year,” she said. “It’s just a great event from seeing the different performers, getting to personally meet the survivors — I’ve been communicating with them throughout the year, but actually getting to meet them and interact with them is really special.”
Following the theme “Carnival for a Cure: Step Right Up, Knock Cancer Down!” attendees participated in traditional carnival games like cup knockdown, balloon animal-making, ring toss and cornhole. Others visited stations for bracelet-making, Kahoot games and bingo as well as raffles.
Hannah Diley and Ashley Moak — dressed as Elsa and Cinderella respectively — stood side by side “making worms” from balloons for a pair of children.
“This is a big community event,” Moak (senior-biology) said. “Even though there’s not a lot of children here, we did want to provide anyone that did come with a fun time.”
Diley (junior-kinesiology) said their presence gives families an opportunity to “de-stress” — especially when parents “want to have their own time.”
“It’s really uplifting honestly because it’s a lot that survivors have gone through, understandably, so I think it’s nice to be able to — even if it’s in a very minimal, small way — try to help,” Diley said.
The eight hour fundraiser featured performances from Scranton Cheerleading, Urban Dance Troupe, K-Pop Music and Dance, Mellow Honey, Donny Burns and the 3rd Degree, Sher Bhangra, RAM Squad, Rince Na Leon and Reece O’Hagan.
Jessie Evans, the overall of The Entertainment Committee, said in addition to raising “as much money as [they] can,” she wants everybody to “[relax] and [celebrate]” their efforts.
“We like to call ourselves ‘the vibe creators,’” Evans (sophomore-biomedical engineering) said. “We bring the fun, we bring the games… everything from decorations to performers.”
She said seeing how the committee members are “so willing” to “put in any time and effort” to make the event a success is “a really great thing to see.”
“We’re raising money for all types of cancers — cancer doesn’t judge and neither do we,” Evans said. “There’s so many different types of cancer from pediatric, to lung, to some rare form that no one’s even heard of and every dollar really does help us and help them in their fight.”
The Fight Back Ceremony, presented by Elke D’Urso and Kaylee Montanari, marked the midway point of the event.
“We would like to thank the teams, sponsors, survivors, caregivers and participants who came together to make this Relay such a success,” D’Urso (senior-psychology) said. “The success of this event is — in so many ways — a reflection of your dedication, spirit and passionate commitment to the fight against cancer.”
D’Urso, overall of the Merchandise Committee, said she's in charge of designing t-shirts, ordering merchandise and potentially opening an online merchandise store.
“We’ve all lost too many people we love,” Montanari (senior-biology) said. “We must fight back to protect our children, brothers, sisters, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends from this disease.”
The ceremony concluded with a list of registered survivors who “embody what it means to fight back.”
“Together, we have taken action,” D’Urso said.
Emma Crissman, the recruitment and involvement overall chair, said her involvement with Relay For Life began in high school.
“I didn’t know what I was expecting, it was way different than in my high school,” Crissman (sophomore-information sciences and technology) said. “It’s really exciting, all the hard work I’ve done in the past two years and finally we have [it] in person.”
The Recruitment and Involvement Committee works directly with the community to find organizations across campus and from other universities to “create a team” or “join as individuals,” according to Crissman.
“I think we have a good group of people that are really inspiring,” she said. “Especially after having this event I think people are going to be a lot more passionate and realize why we do what we do.”
Like Crissman, Executive Event Director Lily Whitmoyer became a part of Relay for Life years before coming to Penn State.
“I started relaying in elementary school,” Whitmoyer (senior-human development and family studies) said. “A lot of my friends and family have been affected by cancer so I wanted to relay in support of them.”
The cause meant “even more this year” after the recent cancer diagnosis of her great aunt, Whitmoyer said.
“The American Cancer Society supports all cancer patients and survivors, they do not discriminate against anyone — any cancer, any gender, any race,” she said. “When you compare it to other organizations that are very specific in their mission, this one is so broad that you really feel like you’re making an impact.”
Whitmoyer encourages anyone to join Relay For Life at Penn State for future events and Walk-a-Thons.
“Everyone has a place here as part of Relay,” she said.
Before the closing ceremony and musical performance by Reece O’Hagan was the Luminaria Ceremony.
A Luminaria, as defined in the program, is a bag decorated to “remember, honor and support” loved ones who have fought the battle against cancer. Each bag is illuminated to “remind us of the light that our loved ones have shared with us.”
The crowd was prompted to crack glow sticks in honor of those they came to relay for. At every mention of a loved one — survivors, parents, children, cousins, aunts or uncles, grandparents, siblings, friends and neighbors — more glow sticks cracked.
The lights in the facility dimmed as the crowd made laps around the track decorated with glowing bags with words of encouragement, names of loved ones and commemorative messages drawn on. A slide show displayed Luminarias from universities and Relay for Life events across the country, as well as pictures and names of loved ones who had fought cancer.
To close out the night, Relay for Life at Penn State members revealed the top fundraisers and total amount of money raised: $33,446.76
Whitmoyer described leading the 2022 Relay for Life at Penn State as the “climax” of her college career.
“I feel like I’m making a huge impact, and even though it's small and we might not raise as much as other relays, I know it’s still important work."

INSIGHT-Ukraine conflict hurts Russian science, as West pulls funding
By Gloria Dickie and Dasha Afanasieva
LONDON, April 10 (Reuters) - Dozens of international scientists have arrived each year since 2000 at Russia's remote Northeast Science Station on the Kolyma River in Siberia to study climate change in the Arctic environment.
Not this year, though.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Germany's Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry froze the funding used to pay personnel at the research station and to maintain instruments that measure how quickly climate change is thawing Arctic permafrost and how much methane - a potent planet-warming gas - is being released.
The funding freeze will probably lead to an interruption of the continuous measurements at the station dating back to 2013, compromising scientists' understanding of the warming trend, said Peter Hergersberg, a spokesperson for the Max Planck Society, which is funded by the German state.
"(Russian) colleagues at the Northeast Science Station try to keep the station running," Hergersberg said. He declined to say how much funding was withheld.
Reuters spoke with more than two dozen scientists about the impact of the Ukraine conflict on Russian science. Many expressed concern about its future after tens of millions of dollars in Western funding for Russian science has been suspended in the wake of European sanctions on Moscow.
Hundreds of partnerships between Russian and Western institutions have been paused if not canceled altogether, the scientists said, as the invasion has unraveled years spent building international cooperation following the Soviet Union's 1991 collapse.
Many communication channels are closed and research trips have been postponed indefinitely.
The projects affected by the suspension of Western assistance include the construction of high-tech research facilities in Russia, such as an ion collider and a neutron reactor for which Europe had pledged 25 million euros ($27.4 million).
Such technology would unlock a generation of research that could contribute to everything from fundamental physics to the development of new materials, fuels and pharmaceuticals, scientists said.
Another 15 million-euro ($16.7 million) contribution toward designing low-carbon materials and battery technologies needed in the energy transition to combat climate change has also been frozen, after the European Union halted all cooperation with Russian entities last month.
"Emotionally, I can understand this suspension," said Dmitry Shchepashchenko, a Russian environmental scientist who studies global forest cover and has been affiliated with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria since 2007.
But for science overall, he said: "This is a lose-lose solution. Global issues like climate change and biodiversity ... can hardly be solved without Russian territory [and] the expertise of Russian scientists."
FROZEN FINANCES
When the Soviet Union broke apart, Russian spending on science plummeted, and thousands of scientists moved abroad or abandoned their fields altogether.
"We felt as scientists that our work was not appreciated," said permafrost scientist Vladimir Romanovksy, who moved his work to Fairbanks, Alaska, in the 1990s. "There was practically no funding, especially for field work."
Russian funding has since improved, but remains far below that of the West. In 2019, Russia spent 1% of its GDP on research and development — or about $39 billion, adjusted for currency and price variation — according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Most of that money has been spent in physical science fields, such as space technology and nuclear energy.
By comparison, Germany, Japan and the United States each spend around 3% of their respective GDPs. For the United States, that amounted to $612 billion in 2019.
Russian science got a boost, though, from partnerships on projects with scientists abroad. Russia and the United States, for example, led the international consortium that launched the International Space Station in 1998.
The head of Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, said this month it would suspend its participation in the space station until sanctions tied to the Ukraine invasion are lifted.
Russian scientists also helped build the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, known as CERN. In 2012, the collider made the breakthrough discovery of the elusive Higgs boson, which until then had only been theorized.
Scientific camaraderie with Europe continued uninterrupted after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. But CERN's governing council announced last month it was suspending any new collaboration with Russia.
Germany alone has given some 110 million euros ($122 million) toward more than 300 German-Russian projects over the last three years. A further 12.6 million euros ($14 million) in EU funding was awarded to Russian organisations for another 18 projects focusing on everything from Arctic climate monitoring to infectious animal diseases.
Chemist Pavel Troshin recently won Russian state funding for his part in a Russian-German effort to develop next-generation solar cells to power communication satellites. But, with the German side now suspended, the project is up in the air.
Joint projects "are supposed to be done for the benefit of all the world, and cutting out Russian scientists ... is really counter-productive," said Troshin, who works at Russia's Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics.
"I would never expect something like this. It's shocking to me. I'm upset very much."
ARCTIC BLACKOUT
Among the more urgent research efforts on hold are projects to study climate change in the Russian Arctic.
"Two-thirds of the permafrost region is in Russia, so data from there is critical,” said Northern Arizona University ecologist Ted Schuur of the Permafrost Carbon Network.
"If you cut off your view of changing permafrost in Russia, you're really cutting off our understanding of global changes to permafrost."
That's alarming for scientists as global warming thaws the long-frozen ground that holds an estimated 1.5 trillion metric tons of organic carbon – twice the amount already in the atmosphere today.
As permafrost thaws, organic material locked within the ice decays and releases more planet-warming gases like methane and carbon dioxide. Scientists fear that such emissions could cause climate change to spiral out of control.
Scientists can use satellites to monitor landscape changes due to thaw, but can't pick up what's happening below ground, which requires on-site research, Schuur said.
Russian scientists have collected and shared permafrost field data for years, but Western researchers aren't sure if those communication channels will remain open. Those datasets were also patchy, due to limited funding to cover the vast region.
Arctic ecologist Sue Natali, at U.S. Woodwell Climate Research Center, said her project's plans for boosting Russian monitoring capability is on hold.
"Instrumentation that was supposed to go out this year has been halted," she said, as her colleagues' travel plans have been canceled.
The U.S. government has issued no clear directive on interacting with Russian institutions, contrary to the European stance.
A State Department spokesperson told Reuters: "We do not hold the people of Russia responsible [for the conflict], and believe that continued direct engagement with the Russian people is essential – including in science and technology fields."
SCIENCE AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE
Projects under the Russian Science Foundation's state-funded 2021 budget of 22.9 billion rubles ($213 million) had relied on partnerships with India, China, Japan, France, Austria, and Germany, among others.
A spokesperson did not answer Reuters questions about how the halt in European collaboration would affect its work, saying only that the foundation would "continue to support leading teams of researchers and their research projects."
European scientists had been helping to build Russian research sites including the neutron reactor and the ion collider near St. Petersburg, said Martin Sandhop, a coordinator on this EU-funded effort called CremlinPlus.
The facilities would help to drive research in fields like high-energy physics, biochemistry and materials science.
But plans for a 25-million-euro project extension are now suspended and Sandhop's team is redirecting experts and equipment toward European institutions.
Cremlin's neutron detectors needed for the planned reactor, for example, are now going to a facility in Lund, Sweden.
Even if Russia manages to complete the expansion works, it's unclear how valuable the work will be without the suite of tools at Western institutions to analyse the data.
Physicist Efim Khazanov at the Institute of Applied Physics in Nizhny Novgorod, near Moscow, said not having access to European equipment would hurt his work using a high-energy laser to study topics such as the structure of spacetime in a vacuum, which could expand our understanding of the universe.
Khazanov was among thousands of Russian scientists who signed an open letter, posted on the independent online science publication Troitskiy Variant, saying Russia had "doomed itself to international isolation" with its invasion of Ukraine.
Many Russian scientists also fled the country, said Alexander Sergeev, head of the Russian Academy of Sciences, according to Interfax state news agency.
The protest letter was temporarily removed from the site after Russia passed a law March 4 criminalizing "fake news" on the Ukraine campaign.
That day, a letter was published on the state Russian Rectors' Union website in support of Russia's invasion and signed by more than 300 leading scientists, who have since been suspended from European University Association membership.
While foreign funding represents just a small part of Russia's scientific spending, its scientists relied on that money to keep projects and careers afloat.
"Those joint research grants were helping a lot of Russians," lamented Russian geographer Dmitry Streletskiy, at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. "I'm just surprised the EU is targeting scientists, which is not the right crowd to target."

Kinder chocolate products recalled in US after salmonella cases reported in Europe
(Gray News) – Ferrero, Inc. is voluntarily recalling two of its Kinder chocolate products because of a possible salmonella contamination.
The company is recalling two Kinder products in the U.S. These include Kinder Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment and Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats basket.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and people with weakened immune systems, the FDA says.
Symptoms of salmonella infection in healthier people can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
In rare cases, salmonella can produce more severe illnesses like arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
Ferrero says the products are being recalled because they were manufactured in a facility where salmonella was detected.
There have been no reports of illness in the U.S. so far, the company says. The voluntary recall is due to an abundance of caution after Salmonella cases were reported by people in Europe who consumed chocolates from the same facility.
No other Kinder products in the U.S. were recalled.
Ferrero says it “deeply regrets the situation” and that it takes food safety “extremely seriously” and will continue to work with the FDA to address the situation.
If you’ve purchased either of the products, Ferrero says to not eat it and to contact the company’s customer service line sometime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday EST at 1-800-688-3552 or via https://www.ferreronorthamerica.com/contact-US-residents.

TDP chief urges Andhra chief secy to provide uninterrupted power supply to key sectors
By ANI | Published: April 11, 2022 04:09 AM2022-04-11T04:09:46+5:302022-04-11T04:20:12+5:30
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday urged the Chief Secretary to initiate immediate steps to rescue industrial, agriculture and service sectors by ensuring quality and uninterrupted power supply.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday urged the Chief Secretary to initiate immediate steps to rescue industrial, agriculture and service sectors by ensuring quality and uninterrupted power supply.
Naidu stressed the need for addressing the severe problem of power cuts so as to protect the people's livelihoods and their standards of living.
In a letter to Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary, the TDP chief said it was the duty of any government to give first priority to the power sector because of its key role in industrial development and the State economy.
"However, in the past three years, the state power sector was totally crushed due to the thoughtless policies and lack of planning on the part of the state government. In 2014, after the State Reorganisation, there was a power deficit of 22.5 million units in Andhra Pradesh," he said.
"By implementing reforms and giving incentives, the State achieved surplus status by 2019. By this time, the installed capacity was increased from 9,529 MW to 19,160 MW. Thus, the state became one of the three power surplus States in the country," the letter read.
Naidu said that at that time, the government announced not to increase current charges and also to ensure zero power cuts. "At the same time, agreements were signed with the solar, wind and such non-conventional energy companies for 25 years at the lowest purchase rates in the country."
The TDP regime made plans for increasing power generation to meet the demand up to 2024 but the YCP rule failed to enhance production, Naidu stated.
The TDP chief blamed the state government's corruption, vendetta and negligence for the increased current charges and severe power cuts as of now.
"The PPAs with solar and wind companies were cancelled thoughtlessly. Thousands of crores of payments were not made to power and coal companies. As there were no reserves in power exchange, the State had to buy at very high rates," he said.
Naidu strongly objected to the government showing interest to "buy high priced power from other States but not increasing generation capacity within Andhra Pradesh".
"The State Government's negligence was responsible for the lack of enough coal reserves. It failed to keep coal reserves enough for 45 days. The Centre said it stopped coal supplies due to non-payment of dues," Naidu wrote in the letter.
Further, Naidu slammed the Jagan Reddy rule for 'throwing' lakhs of workers on the road by announcing a power holiday to the industries.
"It was shameful that 90 per cent of power shortage in South India was reported in AP alone. The evergreen Godavari districts were also facing power cuts and crop holidays now. Crops were drying in the State due to lack of enough power supply to motors," he added.
The TDP chief said prawn and fish farmers were incurring heavy losses due to a lack of current supply and non-functioning oxygen motors.
"Farmers had to spend lakhs of rupees on diesel in order to run motors to save prawn and fish. Experts said over 10 lakh people would lose livelihood directly or indirectly due to power cuts. The MSME units were badly hit due to erratic power," the letter read.
Naidu deplored that the government was not showing any concern when the people were suffering a lot on account of the power crisis.
"Emergency hospital services were suffering setbacks because of power cuts. Three children died at Kadapa RIMS Hospitals within two days because of a lack of power supply. The government hospitals had no money even to buy diesel to run generators," he added.

Quebec government engineers to strike April 22
Civil engineers say they are paid much less than counterparts in the private sector and even those working for cities.
Article content
The Association professionnelle des ingénieurs du Gouvernement du Québec (APIGQ) on Friday submitted a notice to the government it intends to go on strike April 22.
The APIGQ says civil engineers for the Quebec government are paid less than professionals in their discipline in the private sector, but also compared to civil engineers in the public sector and municipalities.
The union cites an independent expert committee that puts the gap at 32 to 34 per cent, twice as much as other professions.
The union wants to see the gap reduced by 14 percentage points.
The strike notice follows a salary offer filed Thursday.
The APIGQ said it will continue negotiations. It has been without a contract since March 31, 2020.

Your phone doesn't need to be working to access texts on WhatsApps. Thanks to the web and desktop app's new Linked Devices feature, previously in beta and rolling out to the public over the next several months, you can get faster access to chats from nearly any computer or tablet you choose, while preserving much of the encryption and security that the app is known for. WhatsApps newest feature creates a cross-platform texting experience that reminds me of using iMessage across Mac and an iPhone -- but without the requirement of being stuck on just Apple's devices.
WhatsApp's desktop apps are not new, to be clear. However, they previously required a constant connection with your phone in order to function. If your phone powered off or was temporarily lost, you essentially couldn't access your texts at all. Other Meta-owned services like Messenger don't have this limitation, but at the cost to your privacy of not having end-to-end encryption on by default.
WhatsApp now lets you pick as many as four devices aside from your phone that can send and receive WhatsApp messages. You set up these devices by scanning a QR code generated on WhatsApp's website or desktop app with the WhatsApp app on your phone, and after that they're listed as "Linked Devices" within your account. From that point on, that browser or desktop app will be able to access your WhatsApp texts regardless of whether your phone is around. In addition to that flexibility, I also found WhatsApp would simply boot up much faster across the devices I tested, which include my work Mac, a Chromebook and an iPad.
I wouldn't call WhatsApp's multidevice system perfect yet, and other messaging apps like Signal and Telegram do offer similar solutions, so let's go over a few more of the ins and outs for WhatsApp's particular multidevice setup.
Works on nearly any device, but not nearly every feature
The best part of the new WhatsApp multidevice launch is speed. As I outlined earlier, I can flip back and forth between different devices across several operating systems, and keep up with group chats or quick texts seamlessly. However, some features like video and voice calling only work on WhatsApp's Windows, MacOS and mobile apps. The web version that I use on my Chromebook and iPad don't have access to those calling features.
WhatsApp also spells out other omissions that linked devices don't yet support, which include clearing or deleting chats from a linked device if you use WhatsApp on an iPhone and viewing live location.
And even though a linked device won't need a connection to your phone, the new WhatsApp feature still requires a phone in order to get started. During setup, your phone will send your device a copy of your most recent message history.
Linked devices also rely on your phone using WhatsApp in order to stay logged in. If you don't log in to WhatsApp for 14 days from your phone -- whether because you lost the phone or perhaps you only use WhatsApp very occasionally for specific contacts -- all linked devices will get logged out.
I also found that one could inadvertently fill up their linked device limit quickly. Should you use the WhatsApp desktop app and WhatsApp for web on the same computer, WhatsApp will see that as two devices. If you clear your cache on your web browser, and then log in again to WhatsApp on that web browser, it will also come up as a new linked device. It's easy enough to remove linked devices from your settings, but it's worthwhile that some device management could come up faster than you'd expect.
Also for now, smartwatches aren't able to be a linked device, nor is WhatsApp offering an Apple Watch app. I do find it easy enough to use WhatsApp from an Apple Watch by replying to notifications, but you can't start new messages with this method. I'm aware of third-party Apple Watch apps in the App Store that unofficially integrate with WhatsApp, but I would be wary about providing an additional party access to that.
Now can every texting service copy this, please?
As I mentioned before, WhatsApp's version of multidevice isn't particularly new, but there is a lot of room for other texting apps to improve their services in this cross-platform direction. Signal, whose encryption protocol WhatsApp uses, offers multidevice texting through apps on mobile, desktop and iPad, but doesn't currently support a web version for platforms where it doesn't make an app. Signal also doesn't offer cloud backups of your texts, keeping your messages located on the devices themselves. Signal does offer instructions for how to backup and restore messages, with a process that involves directly transferring your texts from phone to phone.
Android's Messages app offers encryption for texts sent over RCS, and it does have a web version -- but that web version relies on syncing directly with a phone similar to how the previous version of WhatsApp works.
Apple's iMessage works seamlessly across MacBooks, iPad tablets, the Apple Watch and the iPhone -- including encrypted texts and partial encryption for backups. The flexibility of moving between these devices has always been a high point of its iMessage service. Still, it's increasingly common for someone to use an iPhone but perhaps own a Windows PC that can't access iMessage. Or a Chromebook. Or an Android tablet. I won't go into an iMessage walled garden rant here, but when other rivals are offering services that meet customers across platforms while maintaining encryption, it becomes increasingly notable when one does not.
Encryption in text messaging apps is particularly pertinent following the European Union recently approving -- but not yet adopting -- the Digital Markets Act, which is partly intended to require leaders in the messaging space like Apple and Meta to allow interoperability. The rules are very new and are aimed at providing a more level playing field for newer services. While well-intentioned, it also creates a situation where tech companies may need to solve how to allow for that interoperability while also preserving its customers' privacy.

BOSTON (AP) — David Carle was an incoming freshman at Denver when he was diagnosed with a heart condition that ended his playing career. The Pioneers honored his scholarship anyway, and kept him on the team as an assistant coach.
Now the head coach at just 32, Carle rewarded the school for its decision in the Frozen Four final Saturday night when he guided Denver to a 5-1 victory over Minnesota State and its record-tying ninth NCAA hockey championship.
“Denver hockey and the university has done a lot for me,” Carle said, his suit still drenched from the sports drink his players dumped on him during the on-ice postgame celebration. “That responsibility does not fall on me lightly. I owe a lot of what I have in my life to this place. This program is very special; it means the world to me.”
Ryan Barrow and Mike Benning scored less than three minutes apart to give Denver the lead, and the Pioneers awakened with five goals in the third period to rally from a 1-0 deficit. Massimo Rizzo added another goal with 6:26 to play, and Brett Stapley and Cameron Wright had empty-netters 30 seconds apart.
Magnus Chrona stopped 27 shots for the Pioneers (31-9-1). They won their first championship since 2017 and improved to 9-3 in title games — including the last four in a row.
“You come to Denver to win national championships,” said Barrow, a fifth-year senior who set a school record by playing in his 168th game.
“I came the year after they won it,” he said. “You hear all their stories about winning the national championship and you picture winning one yourself. I can’t tell you how many times I watched the 2017 pump-up video of them winning the ‘natty.’ It will be pretty sweet to watch my own now.”
Two nights after eliminating Michigan in the Frozen Four semifinal, Denver joined the Wolverines as the only schools with nine championships.
“It certainly was a goal, to get to nine,” said Carle, who is the fourth-youngest coach to win an NCAA title. “The ultimate goal is to get to 10, I will tell you. Winning Thursday against Michigan, the team at nine, was a huge step in that direction. And obviously tonight is an even bigger step.”
The game matched the top two offensive teams in the nation, but from the moment Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask dropped the ceremonial first puck, the emphasis was on defense.
Minnesota State (38-6) took a 1-0 lead on Sam Morton’s first-period goal and dominated — outshooting Denver 18-8 in the first 40 minutes. That was still the only goal until there were five minutes gone in the third, when Barrow slid a rebound of Benning’s shot through the legs of Hobey Baker Award winner Dryden McKay.
Forty seconds later, Morton was sent off for tripping; he had just returned to the ice and crossed into the defensive zone when Benning one-timed it into the net to give the Pioneers the lead. Benning also had two assists in the semifinal, including on the overtime winner, and was selected the Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player.
Rizzo made it 3-1 and, when McKay was pulled for an extra skater with about 3:30 left, Stapley and Wright clinched it.
McKay made 15 saves for Minnesota State, which led the nation in wins and had won 18 in a row since Jan. 14.
“Once we gave up the first one, I thought we started leaking oil a little bit and couldn’t stop the bleeding,” Minnesota State coach Mike Hastings said. “It’s a spot we hadn’t been in in a while, and I don’t think we managed it very well. They smelled some blood in the water and they were incredibly aggressive and they were rewarded for that.”

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that he is committed to pressing for peace despite Russian attacks on civilians that have stunned the world, and he renewed his plea for more weapons ahead of an expected surge in fighting in the country's east.
He made the comments in an interview with The Associated Press a day after at least 52 people were killed in a strike on a train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk, and as evidence of civilian killings came to light after Russian troops failed to seize the capital where he has hunkered down, Kyiv.
"No one wants to negotiate with a person or people who tortured this nation. It's all understandable. And as a man, as a father, I understand this very well," Zelenskyy said. But "we don't want to lose opportunities, if we have them, for a diplomatic solution."
Wearing the olive drab that has marked his transformation into a wartime leader, he looked visibly exhausted yet animated by a drive to persevere. He spoke to the AP inside the presidential office complex, where windows and hallways are protected by towers of sandbags and heavily armed soldiers.
"We have to fight, but fight for life. You can't fight for dust when there is nothing and no people. That's why it is important to stop this war," Zelenskyy said.
Russian troops that withdrew from northern Ukraine are now regrouping for what is expected to be an intensified push in the eastern Donbas region, including the besieged port city of Mariupol that Ukrainian fighters are striving to defend.
The president said those defenders are tying up "a big part of the enemy forces," characterizing the battle to hold Mariupol as "the heart of the war" right now.
"It's beating. We're fighting. We're strong. And if it stops beating, we will be in a weaker position," he said.
Zelenskyy said he is confident Ukrainians would accept peace despite the horrors they have witnessed in the more than six-week-long war.
Those included gruesome images of bodies of civilians found in yards, parks and city squares and buried in mass graves in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha after Russian troops withdrew. Ukrainian and Western leaders have accused Moscow of war crimes.
Russia has falsely claimed that the scenes in Bucha were staged. It also put the blame on Ukraine for the attack on the train station in Kramatorsk as thousands of people rushed to flee ahead of an expected Russian offensive.
Despite hopes for peace, Zelenskyy acknowledged that he must be "realistic" about the prospects for a swift resolution given that negotiations have so far been limited to low-level talks that do not include Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy displayed a palpable sense of resignation and frustration when asked whether the supplies of weapons and other equipment his country has received from the United States and other Western nations were enough to turn the tide of the war.
"Not yet," he said, switching to English for emphasis. "Of course it's not enough."
Still, he noted that there has been increased support from Europe and said deliveries of U.S. weapons have been accelerating.
Just this week, neighboring Slovakia, a European Union member, donated its Soviet-era S-300 air defense system to Ukraine in response to Zelenskyy's appeal to help "close the skies" to Russian warplanes and missiles.
Some of that support has come through visits by European leaders.
After meeting Zelenskyy in Kyiv earlier Saturday, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said he expects more EU sanctions against Russia even as he defended his country's opposition to cutting off deliveries of Russian natural gas.
The U.S., EU and United Kingdom responded to the images from Bucha with more sanctions, including ones targeting Putin's adult daughters. While the EU went after the Russian energy sector for the first time by banning coal, it has so far failed to agree on cutting off the much more lucrative oil and natural gas that is funding Putin's war chest. Europe relies on those supplies to generate electricity, fill fuel tanks and keep industry churning.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson also made an unannounced visit to meet Zelenskyy, with his office saying they discussed Britain's "long-term support."
In Kyiv on Friday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen presented Ukraine's leader with a questionnaire marking the first step for applying for EU membership. The head of the bloc's executive arm said the process for completing the questionnaire could take weeks — an unusually fast turnaround — though securing membership would take far longer.
Zelenskyy turned introspective when asked what impact the pace of arms deliveries had for his people and whether more lives could have been saved if the help had come sooner.
"Very often we look for answers in someone else, but I often look for answers in myself. Did we do enough to get them?" he said of the weapons. "Did we do enough for these leaders to believe in us? Did we do enough?"
He paused and shook his head.
"Are we the best for this place and this time? Who knows? I don't know. You question yourself," he said.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTVO) — A bipartisan state bill inspired by the legal issues surrounding Winnebago County Coroner Bill Hintz will not become a law.
Senate Bill 3460 would have allowed local governments to remove elected officials from office if they have been charged with a crime. Hintz is accused of misusing a county credit card and stealing from the deceased and their families.
The bill unanimously passed through the Senate in February but was just defeated in the House. The legislation can be reintroduced next year.

Pope Francis opened Holy Week Sunday with a call for an Easter truce in Ukraine to make room for a negotiated peace, highlighting the need for leaders to "make some sacrifices for the good of the people."
Celebrating Palm Sunday Mass before crowds in St. Peter's Square for the first time since the pandemic, Pope Francis called for "weapons to be laid down to begin an Easter truce, not to reload weapons and resume fighting, no! A truce to reach peace through real negotiations."
Francis did not refer directly to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but the reference was clear, and he has repeatedly denounced the war and the suffering brought to innocent civilians.
During the traditional Sunday blessing following Palm Sunday Mass, the pontiff said leaders should be "willing to make some sacrifices for the good of the people."
"In fact, what a victory would that be, who plants a flag under a pile of rubble?" he said.
During his Palm Sunday homily, the pontiff denounced "the folly of war" that leads people to commit "senseless acts of cruelty."
"When we resort to violence ... we lose sight of why we are in the world and even end up committing senseless acts of cruelty. We see this in the folly of war, where Christ is crucified yet another time," he said.
Francis lamented "the unjust death of husbands and sons" ... "refugees fleeing bombs" ... "young people deprived of a future" ... and "soldiers sent to kill their brothers and sisters."
After two years of celebrating Palm Sunday Mass inside St. Peter's Basilica without a crowd due to pandemic distancing measures, the solemn celebration returned to the square outside. Tens of thousands pilgrims and tourists clutched olive branches and braided palms emblematic of the ceremony that recalls Jesus' return to Jerusalem.
Traditionally, the pope leads a Palm Sunday procession through St. Peter's Square before celebrating Mass. Francis has been suffering from a strained ligament in his right knee that has caused him to limp, and he was driven in a black car to the altar, which he then reached with the help of an aide. He left the Mass on the open-top popemobile, waving to the faithful in the piazza and along part of the via della Conciliazione.
Palm Sunday opens Holy Week leading up to Easter, which this year falls on April 17, and features the Good Friday Way of the Cross Procession.

Cost of living worries over rise in benefits and state pension
A 3.1% rise in the state pension and various benefits has now taken effect but charities have warned it fails to tackle cost of living pressures.
Official figures show that prices are rising twice as fast, and they are expected accelerate further.
The government said it recognised people's difficulties and was helping.
Late last year, ministers decided to temporarily cut the state pension's link to average earnings, which would have led to an 8% rise now.
They have pledged to reinstate the so-called pension "triple lock" in future years.
Squeeze on household budgets
Prices are rising at their fastest rate for 30 years, with costs going up across a variety of sectors of the economy,
This increase in the cost of living is measured by the rate of inflation, which official forecasters expect to peak at close to 9% later this year owing mostly to more expensive gas and electricity bills.
Official statisticians and a range of economists have said that those on the lowest incomes are likely to be most stretched by the rising cost of living.
Those affected include Collette, a mother-of-two, whose income is from universal credit - one of the benefits that has now risen by 3.1% for the year.
"Gas and electricity is eating into everything," she told the BBC. "Food bills are going up as well. We have got into debt this year. This is all going to burst at some point."
She said she wished she could work, but was unable to due to ill health. People she knew who were doing two jobs - as she used to - were still struggling to cope financially, she added.
The extra government household support grant she received had been spent on gas bills, she said.
April changes
Long-standing policy links the rise in a series of benefits and tax credits each April to the rate of inflation the previous September.
That is why means-tested benefits such as universal credit, as well as disability and carer's allowances, have now gone up by 3.1%. The actual amounts individuals receive depends on their circumstances.
Child benefit has also gone up by 3.1% to £21.80 a week for the eldest child, and £14.45 a week for other children.
'If I eat late in the morning, I don't have to eat again until evening'
Andrew McIntyre owes his energy supplier £1,200, and his monthly bill is about to go up from £75 to £120 a month.
The 57-year-old lives off universal credit, and already regularly faces a shortfall between what he has got coming in and what he needs to pay on bills.
As he gets ready to go to a local food charity for a free meal - something he does one day a week and likes to get dressed up smartly for - he explains that it means he has had to choose between paying his rent and heating his flat.
"Every month I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul," he says. Andrew gets £325 a month in universal credit, and £351 a month in housing benefit. He has no savings. He pays £400 for rent, leaving him with £276 for food and bills.
"If I can eat late in the morning then I don't have to eat again until my evening meal," he says.
Dame Clare Moriarty, chief executive at Citizens Advice, said: "We've heard stories of families resorting to heating up tins of beans over a tealight, or choosing between giving their kids a hot bath at bedtime and putting on the heating for an hour while they dress for school. With energy bills rocketing this month, things will only get worse.
"At the bare minimum, the government should reconsider and increase benefits by the current inflation rate to help people keep up with the rapidly rising cost of living. And as costs continue to soar, they must bring in further support to stop more households being pushed into hardship."
A government spokesman said: "We recognise the pressures people are facing with the cost of living, which is why we're providing support worth £22bn across the next financial year and benefits are being uprated by the usual measure, September's inflation figure."
He added that support also included cutting fuel duty and money to help pay for energy bills. The minimum wage had also been increased.
If the rate of inflation is high in September, then benefits could rise significantly in April 2023, when the rate of price increases is forecast to slow.
Triple-lock suspension
Normally under the triple lock formula, pensions increase by inflation, the increase in earnings between May and July or 2.5% - whichever is highest.
Ministers said last September that the figures had been "skewed and distorted" by the average earnings rise, which was "statistical anomaly", owing to the impact of Covid and the withdrawal of furlough. The House of Commons Library said that would have been about 8% and cost an extra £4bn to £5bn.
So the government decided to limit this April's rise to the greater of the inflation rate last autumn or 2.5%, hence the 3.1% increase now.
It means:
The full, new flat-rate state pension (for those who reached state pension age after April 2016) is £185.15 a week, a rise of £5.50 a week
The full, old basic state pension (for those who reached state pension age before April 2016) is £141.85 a week, a rise of £4.25 a week. They may also get a Pension Credit top-up
Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey has committed to reinstating the triple lock from now on, telling the Commons: "I am again happy to put on record that the triple lock will be honoured in the future."
Jonathan Cribb, associate director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said that had the government considered making a change to next year's triple lock promise, it would be a much worse policy that the current temporary suspension.
He added that there was a "good case" to smooth out pensions and benefits rises but government policy - which included some help with energy bills - should be considered as a whole.

It lasted 174 days, required the usage of more players than any season in history primarily because of the ongoing challenge of playing through a pandemic, and saw playoff-positioning chases go all the way down to the final moments.
Now, move over, regular season.
The NBA’s postseason is finally here.
Kyrie Irving can play at home again, a change-of-heart regarding vaccination rules that was made a few weeks ago by the city of New York in a move that will have immediate impact on the race to the NBA championship. Irving and the Brooklyn Nets held off the Indiana Pacers 134-126 on Sunday, and will play host to the first play-in game of this year’s tournament when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
That matchup wasn’t set until Sunday, nor was the other Eastern Conference play-in matchup: No. 9 Atlanta will play host to No. 10 Charlotte on Wednesday night. The winner of that game will play the Nets-Cavaliers loser on Friday to determine who’ll face No. 1 Miami in an East first-round series.
The Nets-Cavaliers winner will be seeded No. 7 and meet either Boston or Milwaukee in the first round.
Charlotte will be without forward Gordon Hayward, announcing Sunday that he’s “out indefinitely with continued discomfort in his left foot.” Hayward’s foot will be placed in a cast for at least two weeks, meaning if the Hornets win twice in the play-in tournament and get into the postseason, he’ll likely miss most of Round 1, at minimum, as well.
OTHER MATCHUPS
By the close of business Sunday, four best-of-seven first-round series will also be determined.
Boston or Milwaukee will play No. 6 Chicago in an East first-round series, and Philadelphia or Boston will play Toronto in another East matchup.
In the West, Golden State and Dallas are vying later Sunday to see who ends up No. 3, while Utah and Denver both have chances to be No. 5.
SCORING TITLE
Joel Embiid of Philadelphia is the league’s scoring champion, averaging 30.6 points. He was held out of the 76ers’ finale Sunday, not that he needed it for any statistical reasons.
Embiid — who hails from Cameroon — becomes the first international player to win that title. Embiid is also the first center to win the scoring crown since Shaquille O’Neal in 1999-2000.
RACE TO 82
Only five players were in position to play on Sunday and officially appear in all 82 regular-season games with their team this season: Phoenix’s Mikal Bridges, Detroit’s Saddiq Bey, Washington’s Deni Avdija, Dallas’ Dwight Powell and the Warriors’ Kevon Looney.
Avdija played in No. 82, scoring 12 points Sunday afternoon in the Wizards’ season-ending loss to Charlotte. Bridges, Bey, Powell and Looney all had games later Sunday.
It’ll mark the fewest number of players in NBA history to have appeared in every game for a full regular season.
There were 11 players who appeared in all 72 games last season, which was shortened because of the pandemic. There were 14 every-game players in 2019-20, when teams played differing numbers of games, again because of the pandemic and then with not every team advancing to the restart bubble in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

A Look At The Fair Value Of SEEK Limited (ASX:SEK)
Today we'll do a simple run through of a valuation method used to estimate the attractiveness of SEEK Limited (ASX:SEK) as an investment opportunity by estimating the company's future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is the tool we will apply to do this. Models like these may appear beyond the comprehension of a lay person, but they're fairly easy to follow.
We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model.
Check out our latest analysis for SEEK
The model
We're using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company's growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.
Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, so we need to discount the sum of these future cash flows to arrive at a present value estimate:
10-year free cash flow (FCF) forecast
("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = AU$3.2b
After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (1.8%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 6.7%.
Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2031 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = AU$704m× (1 + 1.8%) ÷ (6.7%– 1.8%) = AU$14b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= AU$14b÷ ( 1 + 6.7%)10= AU$7.5b
The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is AU$11b. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of AU$28.1, the company appears about fair value at a 8.0% discount to where the stock price trades currently. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it is better to view this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last cent.
Important assumptions
The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at SEEK as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 6.7%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.167. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.
Moving On:
Although the valuation of a company is important, it shouldn't be the only metric you look at when researching a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Rather it should be seen as a guide to "what assumptions need to be true for this stock to be under/overvalued?" For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. For SEEK, we've compiled three additional aspects you should further examine:
Risks: As an example, we've found 1 warning sign for SEEK that you need to consider before investing here.
Management:Have insiders been ramping up their shares to take advantage of the market's sentiment for SEK's future outlook? Check out our management and board analysis with insights on CEO compensation and governance factors.

STUART, Va. (AP) — A police pursuit prompted by a call about an intruder at a state park in Virginia has left an elderly man dead and a North Carolina woman charged with vehicular homicide.
Virginia authorities said rangers at the Staunton River State Park found 41-year-old Christine S. Barnette of Cary, North Carolina, in an unoccupied, unrented cabin Friday.
Police said that as park rangers approached, Barnette ran from the cabin and got into her car, which rangers began pursuing.
The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office joined the pursuit, which passed through Pittsylvania County, Henry County, the city of Martinsville and Patrick County.
Authorities said Barnette was contained at one point before she rammed two sheriff’s vehicles near South Boston and continued to flee.
Authorities said officers also tried several times to disable Barnette’s car with spike strips, but that she managed to avoid each attempt.
The pursuit ended on Route 58 in Patrick County when Barnette crossed the median and collided head-on with a vehicle driven by Bobby Wayne Gammons, 81 of Mount Airy, North Carolina.
Gammons died at the scene. Barnette was flown to Roanoke Memorial Hospital with serious injuries.
State police said Barnette is facing charges of breaking and entering, reckless driving, defrauding an innkeeper, felony eluding police, trespassing and vehicular homicide.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — That new No. 1 ranking for Scottie Scheffler looks even better in a Masters green jacket.
Two months after Scheffler finally broke through for his first PGA Tour victory, he capped off a most incredible 56-day stretch by making his fourth win the biggest of them all, the Masters by three shots over Rory McIlroy for his first major.
Even as a junior, he was wearing long pants in stifling Texas heat because he wanted to look the part of a tour pro he always wanted to be. Winning the Masters was beyond his hopes.
“I never made it this far. It was just a dream of being here and competing,” Scheffler said in Butler Cabin, moments before Hideki Matsuyama helped him into the green jacket. “I can’t put into words what it means that I’ll be able to come back here for a lifetime.”
The only stumble came at the end when Scheffler needed four putts from 40 feet before he could claim his first major, and that only mattered in the record book.
He closed with a 1-under 71 for a three-shot victory over McIlroy, who holed out from the bunker on the final hole for a record-tying final round of 64. McIlroy could only hope that Sunday pressure at Augusta National might get to Scheffler.
No chance. Not on Sunday. Not the last four days. Not the last two months.
“You get on those hot streaks, and you just got to ride them out because they, unfortunately, don’t last forever,” Justin Thomas said. “But he is doing it in the biggest tournaments. … It’s really, really impressive to see someone that young handle a moment this big so easily.”
The Sunday theater, thrilling and tragic, belonged to everyone else. Scheffler overcame a nervy moment early in the round by chipping in for birdie. He delivered key putts to keep Cameron Smith at bay and never looked rattled, even as he was swatting at short putts at the end.
McIlroy was the runner-up. It was Smith who felt as though he let one get away. The Aussie was still in the game, three shots out of the lead, when he dumped his 9-iron in Rae’s Creek on the par-3 12th hole for triple bogey and ended his hopes.
“Just a really bad swing at the wrong time,” Smith said.
Smith closed with a 73 and tied for third with Shane Lowry, who birdied the 18th for a 69.
Scheffler joined Ian Woosnam in 1991 as the only players to win a major — the Masters in both cases — in their debut at No. 1 in the world.
Everyone should have seen this coming. He won the Phoenix Open in a playoff on Super Bowl Sunday. He followed that with a comeback win at Bay Hill to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He rose to No. 1 in the world by winning the Match Play two weeks ago in Texas.
And now this.
Scheffler, who finished at 10-under 278, won $2.7 million from the $15 million prize fund. That brings his total to $8,872,200 over his last six starts.
Scheffler’s big moment came early in the round, and it was no less significant.
Starting the final round with a three-shot lead, he watched Smith open with two straight birdies to the cut the deficit to one, and then Scheffler’s approach from the pine needles left of the third fairway came up short and rolled back down the slope.
His pitch was racing toward the hole when it banged into the pin and dropped for an unlikely birdie, and a two-shot swing when Smith from the same position made bogey.
No one got closer than three the rest of the way. Only the contenders changed.
The 12th hole remains the most riveting par 3 in golf, the scene of more collapses than comebacks. Smith became the latest victim.
Coming off birdie at No. 11, his shot was still in the air when he let his club slip through his hands and he slowly closed his eyes twice as it splashed into Rae’s Creek. The next shot wasn’t much better, but at least dry, and Smith’s hopes ended there with a triple bogey.
He was three behind standing on the 12th tee. Three holes later, he was eight back.
From there, any hope resided with McIlroy. All he needed to complete the career Grand Slam was to match the best final round in Masters history and get some help from Scheffler. He only got one of those and had to settle for his first silver medal from Augusta.
Not that he didn’t create some Sunday magic. McIlroy went bunker-to-bunker on the 18th hole, leaving himself right of the green and aiming some 25 feet right of the flag. It rode the slope all the way into the hole, setting off one of the loudest roars of the week.
Morikawa followed him in from the same bunker, different angle, and McIlroy could only laugh.
“This tournament never ceases to amaze,” McIlroy said. “That’s as happy as I’ve ever been on a golf course right there. Just having a chance — and then with Collin, we both played so well all day — and for both of us to finish like this, I was just so happy for him, too.
“I’ve never heard roars like on the 18th green.”
The best ones were saved for Scheffler.
Scheffler still had five holes in front of him, with no evidence he was going to be anything but the smooth, smart operator who seized control on Friday in the toughest conditions to build a five-shot lead and never lost it.

Really, we gave him scraps and never kept hold of the ball.
Everyone was tired by then and even when he had the ball he had no options. Everyone was making mistakes by that point.
Yeah, I felt he should have come in just 5 min earlier. I was expecting Jota to be substituted just after the 60th min.

Pittsburgh Pagans ‘Enforcer’ Sentenced To Prison For Role In Large-Scale Drug Trafficking Operation
By: KDKA-TV News Staff
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A Pagans associate was sentenced to 57 months for his role in a large-scale operation trafficking drugs in western Pennsylvania and Ohio, federal prosecutors announced.
Prosecutors said 45-year-old Jason Evans was a close associate of a “fully patched” Pagans Motorcycle Club member of the Pittsburgh chapter and served as an “enforcer.”
Evans was busted during an FBI investigation into cocaine, meth and heroin trafficking in the Pittsburgh area by members and associates of the Pagans. Prosecutors said the investigation intercepted thousands of communications from ten phones used by Evans and his co-defendants, members Bill Rana and Eric Armes.
Evans accepted responsibility for distributing over 300 grams of cocaine and a search warrant at his home turned up cocaine, guns and over $10,000, according to prosecutors.
A judge ordered Evans to spend 57 months in prison followed by 6 years of supervised release.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — For the briefest of moments, there was the smallest bit of hope. A day that began with little to shoot for other than a top 10 suddenly threatened to turn magical for Rory McIlroy as he made his way around Augusta National, triumphantly holing his final shot from the sand for a birdie on 18, in a final round that might have won him the Masters any other time.
This wasn’t that time because Scottie Scheffler wasn’t about to cough this Masters up. Not to the mullet man, Cameron Smith, and certainly not to a player who was 10 shots back to begin the day, no matter McIlroy’s impressive golfing pedigree.
But his 8-under 64 was the lowest McIlroy has shot in 14 Masters. His second-place finish was his best, too, in the tournament that has confounded him the most and is the only major he hasn’t won.
That it wasn’t enough to win McIlroy the green jacket he probably should have been measured for several times by now almost didn’t matter. There will be more Masters for the 32-year-old, and if he can remember the fearless way he played on this Sunday there should be a green jacket in there for him somewhere along the way, too.
On this Sunday, he had to settle for a little joy as his shot from the bunker dropped in the hole and the roars of the crowd reverberated through the towering Georgia pines.
“That’s as happy as I’ve ever been on a golf course right there,” McIlroy said. “That was incredible, I’ve never heard roars like (that) on the 18th green. It was really cool.”
So cool that playing partner Collin Morikawa responded by knocking his bunker shot in, too, with McIlroy raising his arms in celebration like both had just won the Masters. On a day with little other drama, it seemed like everybody else anywhere near the 18th green was celebrating, too.
It wasn’t a win, but in a way it was. Eleven years after he left the Masters almost in tears after blowing a four-shot lead in the final round, McIlroy finally had a Sunday to remember.
“It’s what you dream about, right?” he said. “You dream about getting yourself in position."
McIlroy began the day as an afterthought and ended it thinking he might just put a little scare into the unflappable Scheffler. He just might have after making eagle on the 13th hole, but wayward drives on the next two holes led to pars and he hit his putt on the 16th just a little too hard to go in.
But his swing was free and easy, and his targets were precise. With no realistic chance of winning barring a huge collapse by the leader, McIlroy attacked the course like he had nothing to lose, making the first of his six birdies on the first hole and playing bogey free the entire day.
He thought shooting 63 might give him a chance, but no one has shot that low on the final day of the Masters and McIlroy came up one shot short. He thought he might give Scheffler something to think about with the final bunker shot but by then the No. 1 player in the world was already adding back nine birdies of his own.
What it means is difficult to quantify, as are most things in golf. McIlroy felt his game was good coming into the tournament and nothing about losing by three shots changed that thought. There are three majors still to play this year and there’s also the tantalizing prospect of coming back here to do it again — except maybe just a bit better — next year.
It’s not that McIlroy hasn’t had success at the Masters. He’s finished in the top 10 in seven of his 14 appearances but never seemed to be in the mix to win late on the back nine on Sunday.
And, of course, he still hasn’t won a green jacket to add to his trophies from the other three majors.
“I’ve always known that I can do it,” he said. “I’ve played good enough around here, maybe just haven’t strung four rounds together like that, but I’ve always known that I have the game to win at this place. It’s just a matter of having that game for four days in a row and not making big numbers and shooting yourself in the foot, I guess.”
He was once a young phenom whose future seemed unlimited. The majors came early and they came easy until suddenly eight years ago they stopped coming at all.
And in the one tournament he loves the most, the heartache of 2011 never seemed completely out of his mind.
“For a golfer, it’s one of the best places on earth,” he said on the eve of the tournament. “Someone could argue St. Andrews. Someone could argue here. But it’s such a cool place that you can never hate it. Sometimes I hate the results of the tournament, but in terms of the place and the club and the membership, it’s wonderful, and I always have a great time here.”
The results this year were good, just not quite good enough. But it was a day to remember, and a day to build for the future.
“I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from this tournament as happy as I am today,” he said. “I’ve played a really good round of golf, and it’s my best ever finish at Augusta. It’s not quite enough, but I’ll certainly look back on this day with very fond memories."

UTU Protocol Coin Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “UTU Technologies is based in Kenya, UTU was founded to offer a different, social-relationship based approach to establishing trust, rather than scores, aggregated reviews and ratings in order to transform the sharing economy into a trust economy. For this purpose, UTU Technologies is building a platform consisting of two main components: A trusted recommendation service, a web service to deliver trusted service recommendations based on users’ and providers’ social relationships and other data, and A decentralised and blockchain-based protocol to enable users to make publicly verifiable staked endorsements (or disapprovals) of services, and to facilitate the necessary data provision. Each of these activities has the potential to earn rewards for the user, thus incentivising them to partake. The protocol will also not only be useable for our own service, but also other, 3rd-party services. UTU Tecnologies wants to incentivise clients directly to provide data. For this purpose, we devise a blockchain-based protocol with a non-transferable utility token — UTU Tokens — to be built on a blockchain platform. Intuitively, clients will be rewarded for active participation in the system with UTU Tokens. They can be used to make staked endorsements and access trusted recommendations provided by the UTU Recommendation Service and other services. The token will be non-transferable to prevent people “buying into” the network, essentially buying trust. “
Buying and Selling UTU Protocol
It is usually not possible to purchase alternative cryptocurrencies such as UTU Protocol directly using U.S. dollars. Investors seeking to trade UTU Protocol should first purchase Bitcoin or Ethereum using an exchange that deals in U.S. dollars such as GDAX, Coinbase or Changelly. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Bitcoin or Ethereum to purchase UTU Protocol using one of the aforementioned exchanges.

A team of scientists has discovered how working memory is "formatted"—a finding that enhances our understanding of how visual memories are stored. "For decades researchers have wondered about the nature of the neural representations that support our working memory," explains Clayton Curtis, professor of psychology and neural science at New York University and the senior author of the paper, which appears in the journal Neuron. "In this study, we used both experimental and analytical techniques to reveal the format of working memory representations in the brain."

First Florida. Then Alabama. Now, lawmakers in Ohio and Louisiana are considering legislation that mimics the Florida law. And Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he'll make a similar bill a top priority at the next session.
Across the United States, at least a dozen states are considering new legislation that in several ways will mirror Florida's new controversial law, referred to by some opponents as "Don't Say Gay."
The specific details regarding the bills vary between states. But overall, they seek to prohibit schools from using a curriculum or discussing topics of gender identity or sexual orientation.
"The institutionalization of these bills is an overt form of structural transphobia and homophobia, and it goes against all public health evidence in creating a safe and supportive environment for transgender, nonbinary, queer, gay and lesbian youths and teachers to thrive," Arjee Restar, assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington, told NPR.
Restar, a social epidemiologist and health equity advocate, said the controversial bills will limit all youths to live to their fullest potential, adding "there should be no room for transphobia and homophobia — especially in the classroom."
The Florida law drew controversy — and copycats
Last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the state's "Parental Rights in Education" bill, barring public school teachers from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grades "or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
"We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination," DeSantis said at the bill signing.
It drew immediate nationwide controversy — and had teachers like Paula Stephens worried.
Teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity isn't part of the first-grade curriculum, Stephens told NPR. But talking about families is part of her curriculum, and some of her students may have two moms or two dads.
"It makes me wonder," she said. "When I talk about families in my classroom, am I going to be violating this law because the children were having discussions about what their family looks like?"
A cascade of bills have followed
Taking Florida's lead, states began proposing their own bills. Among them:
"When we segment children off and tell them that they don't exist and that they don't matter and effectively erase them from the classroom ... we effectively erase them," Kathryn Poe of Equality Ohio told NPR member station WKSU when the Ohio bill was proposed. "We alienate an entire group of young people who need our affirmation and support."
There's historical precedent
Florida's law is only the most recent expression of attempts to curb classroom discussion on sexual orientation or gender identity across the country, said Ames Simmons, a Duke law senior lecturing fellow.
"Florida may be the first in this wave, but there have been other laws in the past that were called 'no promo homo' laws, which forbid saying positive things about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer people in classrooms," Simmons told NPR. "With the increased visibility of transgender and non-binary people, we have seen these bills expand to also prohibit educating students about gender diversity and gender identity."
Both Simmons and David Brown, legal director for the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, say the legislative activities taking place across the country are targeting other groups.
"This trend is the continuation of a playbook that has been brought out again and again, repeatedly targeting the most marginalized groups in our society for political gain," Brown told NPR.
Simmons added, "What is truly concerning is that these anti-LGBTQ bills have been coupled with legislative proposals that forbid teaching about structural racism and slavery, and patriarchy and sexism, on the grounds that these concepts make others uncomfortable."

Cincinnati Reds players share memorable moments from Hunter Greene's debut
ATLANTA – Before Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene made his big league debut, he kept hearing the advice to “not look up.” Greene wasn’t supposed to think too much about how he was pitching in a major league ballpark against one of the best teams in MLB.
He was tested right away on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. In the bottom of the first inning, he faced All-Star first baseman Matt Olson. Greene struck him out on a 100.3 mph fastball at the top of the strike zone.
After Greene got the swing and miss, he calmly stepped off the mound and moved on to the next pitch. Following that pitch, both of the Reds’ middle infielders noticed the same thing about Greene.
“To see how he was so calm, it looked like he had no nerves,” Reds second baseman Jonathan India said. “Watching that was pretty special. He looked like he just wanted to go after hitters, no matter who they were. He didn’t care how many All-Stars they had.”
“His composure on the mound was incredible,” Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer said. “To be a rookie coming in and throwing that hard, he didn’t seem nervous at all. He was in command of all of his pitches.”
Nick Senzel:Gold Glove the goal as Reds outfield defense shows improvement
Daniel Duarte and Alexis Diaz:Reds rookies 'really impressed' in Major League debuts
Greene allowed three runs in five innings on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. He finished the game with seven strikeouts, and his fastball stayed close to 100 mph for the entirety of the game.
When he faced his first test of adversity at the big league level, Greene helped the Reds hold on to the lead in a 6-3 win.
“That’s the main thing, not getting too caught up in who is at the plate,” Greene said. “(Know) what your strengths are, what you’re comfortable throwing, what you’re really good at throwing. I felt like I capitalized on that.”
Greene received congratulations from his teammates in the dugout. After the game, some of his teammates explained which moment from Greene’s MLB debut stuck with them the most.
1. Striking out Austin Riley to end the first inning
Greene said he battled with his slider throughout spring training. Against the Braves, Greene waited to throw it until the last batter of the first inning.
When he threw it twice to Braves star third baseman Austin Riley, it clicked.
“I was like, ‘Man, I don’t really have a choice. I need to find it,’” Greene said. “And it was there. That was a nice feeling.”
Greene opened the at-bat with a slider that clipped the outside corner of the strike zone. He ended it with a slider for a swing-and-miss strike three.
Riley lunged onto his front foot, way ahead of the swing. He lost his balance because Greene’s slider had curved so quickly. Greene responded by pumping his fist, showing emotion on the mound for the first time.
“He was cruising,” India said. “That was cool. The first strikeouts, that’s a big one. It was pretty cool to see.”
2. Escaping the fourth inning
After beginning the game with three shutout innings, Greene faced adversity for the first time in the fourth. After Greene allowed a single, a double, and a sacrifice fly RBI, pitching coach Derek Johnson visited him on the mound.
Greene had two runners on base with one out. Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson told Greene to “forget about it,” and they decided he’d start the next at-bat with a fastball. Greene threw back-to-back 100 mph strikes.
He went back to his slider, which got Braves outfielder Adam Duvall to fly out. Then Greene got out of the inning by getting Braves designated hitter Alex Dickerson to line out to first base.
Greene pumped his fist and shouted as he walked back to the dugout.
“He was unfazed by a great lineup in a packed house,” Stephenson said. “He showed emotion, and he doesn’t show emotion much. It was pretty cool to see him get fired up.”
3. Surviving the fifth inning
Greene’s challenge in the minor leagues was when hitters timed up his fastball for extra-base hits. In Greene’s fifth and final inning, he allowed two home runs off his fastball.
Reds right fielder Jake Fraley said he has seen several managers go to the bullpen to save a young pitcher from having the inning and the game spiral away. Bell stuck with Greene, and as a result, Greene left the game with the win.
“Even after he gave up two homers, nothing ever changed about his composure and the way he was pitching,” Fraley said. “That speaks volumes to the mentality he has out there and how much he trusts his stuff.”
Reds designated hitter Tyler Naquin said Greene’s response to allowing the two homers in the fifth inning stuck with him the most. After allowing a home run with two outs, Greene threw two 100 mph fastballs and a slider to get out of the inning.
“For five innings, sitting at 99 to 101 (mph) is pretty impressive,” Naquin said. “He didn’t let off the gas at all against some pretty good hitters.”
Farmer said he saw the same thing, and he said the way Greene finished the game is what he’ll remember.
“When he gave up the home runs, he just fought back and did well,” Farmer said.

The rules will also restrict ecommerce companies from sharing consumers’ buying behaviour with anyone, said Rohit Kumar Singh, secretary at the Department of Consumer Affairs. Showing some chosen sellers limits the choices for consumers also and is discriminatory towards them, he added.
The objective is to make the algorithm democratic for the consumer, he said.
These rules will be a part of the framework for Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) and will apply to all companies engaged in digital commerce including Amazon, Flipkart, Google Playstore, Apple Store, cab aggregators and hotel aggregators.
Independent sellers on ecommerce marketplaces have alleged that the platforms gave “preferential treatments” to some sellers. These sellers pop up more in product searches than third-party entities, they have claimed, and also alleged that platforms shared consumer data such as shopping behaviour with their preferred sellers which were partially or fully owned by marketplaces.
ONDC will safeguard consumer interest and protect small businesses by granting them equal opportunity, Singh said.

The framework is being worked upon by the consumer affairs ministry as well as the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.
The proposed framework seeks to control digital monopolies and create more inclusiveness within the digital commerce ecosystem. As a platform intended to promote open networks developed on open-source methodology, ONDC will also ensure protection of consumer rights and enable small, medium and micro enterprises to get on to the digital bandwagon.
The online retail sector has faced flak from small traders and offline retailers for allegedly giving preferential treatment to related parties and flouting regulations.
The ecommerce market in India is expected to touch $5.5 billion by 2025, up from $700 million now, according to a recent report by management consulting firm RedSeer. Ecommerce is also one of the country’s biggest job creators.

Vladimir Putin might not have been able to take Ukraine, but he is not going to stop in at least cutting off Ukraine from the Black Sea by focusing on taking the south, according to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"I don't think any of us should believe for a second that Vladimir Putin's changed," Pompeo told Sunday's "The Cats Roundtable" on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. "He has been the same tyrant for 20 years. He took a fifth of Ukraine, the part called Crimea, during the Obama administration. He's now conducting this land war, this invasion.
"He didn't do that when America was leading for four years while President [Donald] Trump and I were running America's national security team. He won't change his ways. His objectives aren't going to change. He wants to rebuild greater Russia. It looks like he's going to move to the south and southeast and begin to try to cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea. That looks like his military next set of moves."
What changed, Pompeo told told host John Catsimatidis, was American leadership, or lack thereof, emboldening another Putin invasion of Ukraine.
"There is no doubt that his perception of American resolve changed fundamentally when President Biden came into office," Pompeo continued. "The risk seemed low. The cost he would have to pay seemed reasonable. And he began to prepare the assault we've seen take place in the main four regions of the Ukraine."
Putin not only saw weakness after the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan that handed the country back to the Taliban, but also the unwillingness by the Biden administration to keep Putin in check.
"It wasn't just Afghanistan," Pompeo said. "Remember, the president said a minor incursion is OK? When the Russians shut down the Colonial Pipeline for several days. The president said, 'Don't do that again.'
"The first American leader to go meet with Vladimir Putin wasn't the secretary of defense. Or the secretary of state. Or the President. It was Secretary [John] Kerry. They put climate change at the top of the list. That showed him weakness and a lack of resolve."
Unwinding America's energy independence was the nexus for Putin moving forward with the invasion under Biden, Pompeo said.
"American energy is at the very center of this," he said. "Gas prices at home through the roof. Food prices are going to follow. It's going to get really expensive here for ordinary families.
"A good part of that is the fact that we didn't do the right thing to make sure that we were producing American energy for ourselves, and to support Europeans so that they weren't dependent on Vladimir Putin for their natural gas and their crude oil."
Now, Biden is going to be unwilling to check Putin's backup: China and President Xi Jinping.
"Watch the Chinese allow the Russians continue to advance and then scoop up Russian oil and gas with big pipelines being built so they get this product at a discount," Pompeo concluded. "This war has proven to be a tremendous boon to Xi Jinping and the Chinese communists."

A local couple were left stunned after capturing what looked like a face on the cliffs of a Cornish beauty spot. Louise Coe was walking along the coast path at Bedruthan Steps with her husband on Sunday morning (April 10) when the pair spotted the unique feature embedded on the rock face, Cornwall Live reports.
The couple are regular walkers of the route, although they have not been to the National Trust site for more than a year due to recent landslides, with Bedruthan Steps closed on several occasions as a result. However as they embarked on their coast walk, Mrs Coe noticed what appeared to be a human face gazing from the cliffs.
The distinguishable feature appears to have been formed by one of the landslides in a remarkable natural occurrence.
Louise said: "We’ve gone there so many times before but never noticed. It’s quite different, looks like a recent landslide formed it - but it looks man-made. Obviously it can’t be, though, we haven’t heard anything because of where it is. We’ve lived here for many years and are National Trust members so go there quite often."
Bedruthan Steps, located between Padstow and Newquay in Cornwall, started to become treacherous in December 2019 when a huge rockfall destabilised the cliff face, with another large landslide occurred on the afternoon of New Year's Day in 2021. Cordons remain in places in the area to warn visitors of the dangers of some parts of the coastal path.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — For the briefest of moments, there was the smallest bit of hope. A day that began with little to shoot for other than a top 10 suddenly threatened to turn magical for Rory McIlroy as he made his way around Augusta National, triumphantly holing his final shot from the sand for a birdie on 18, in a final round that might have won him the Masters any other time.
This wasn’t that time because Scottie Scheffler wasn’t about to cough this Masters up. Not to the mullet man, Cameron Smith, and certainly not to a player who was 10 shots back to begin the day, no matter McIlroy’s impressive golfing pedigree.
But his 8-under 64 was the lowest McIlroy has shot in 14 Masters. His second-place finish was his best, too, in the tournament that has confounded him the most and is the only major he hasn’t won.
That it wasn’t enough to win McIlroy the green jacket he probably should have been measured for several times by now almost didn’t matter. There will be more Masters for the 32-year-old, and if he can remember the fearless way he played on this Sunday there should be a green jacket in there for him somewhere along the way, too.
On this Sunday, he had to settle for a little joy as his shot from the bunker dropped in the hole and the roars of the crowd reverberated through the towering Georgia pines.
“That’s as happy as I’ve ever been on a golf course right there,” McIlroy said. “That was incredible, I’ve never heard roars like (that) on the 18th green. It was really cool.”
So cool that playing partner Collin Morikawa responded by knocking his bunker shot in, too, with McIlroy raising his arms in celebration like both had just won the Masters. On a day with little other drama, it seemed like everybody else anywhere near the 18th green was celebrating, too.
It wasn’t a win, but in a way it was. Eleven years after he left the Masters almost in tears after blowing a four-shot lead in the final round, McIlroy finally had a Sunday to remember.
“It’s what you dream about, right?” he said. “You dream about getting yourself in position."
McIlroy began the day as an afterthought and ended it thinking he might just put a little scare into the unflappable Scheffler. He just might have after making eagle on the 13th hole, but wayward drives on the next two holes led to pars and he hit his putt on the 16th just a little too hard to go in.
But his swing was free and easy, and his targets were precise. With no realistic chance of winning barring a huge collapse by the leader, McIlroy attacked the course like he had nothing to lose, making the first of his six birdies on the first hole and playing bogey free the entire day.
He thought shooting 63 might give him a chance, but no one has shot that low on the final day of the Masters and McIlroy came up one shot short. He thought he might give Scheffler something to think about with the final bunker shot but by then the No. 1 player in the world was already adding back nine birdies of his own.
What it means is difficult to quantify, as are most things in golf. McIlroy felt his game was good coming into the tournament and nothing about losing by three shots changed that thought. There are three majors still to play this year and there’s also the tantalizing prospect of coming back here to do it again — except maybe just a bit better — next year.
It’s not that McIlroy hasn’t had success at the Masters. He’s finished in the top 10 in seven of his 14 appearances but never seemed to be in the mix to win late on the back nine on Sunday.
And, of course, he still hasn’t won a green jacket to add to his trophies from the other three majors.
“I’ve always known that I can do it,” he said. “I’ve played good enough around here, maybe just haven’t strung four rounds together like that, but I’ve always known that I have the game to win at this place. It’s just a matter of having that game for four days in a row and not making big numbers and shooting yourself in the foot, I guess.”
He was once a young phenom whose future seemed unlimited. The majors came early and they came easy until suddenly eight years ago they stopped coming at all.
And in the one tournament he loves the most, the heartache of 2011 never seemed completely out of his mind.
“For a golfer, it’s one of the best places on earth,” he said on the eve of the tournament. “Someone could argue St. Andrews. Someone could argue here. But it’s such a cool place that you can never hate it. Sometimes I hate the results of the tournament, but in terms of the place and the club and the membership, it’s wonderful, and I always have a great time here.”
The results this year were good, just not quite good enough. But it was a day to remember, and a day to build for the future.
“I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from this tournament as happy as I am today,” he said. “I’ve played a really good round of golf, and it’s my best ever finish at Augusta. It’s not quite enough, but I’ll certainly look back on this day with very fond memories."

Dozens of artists face eviction from Dublin studio after building goes into receivership
Around 20 artists face eviction from their studios in Dublin after the building where they work went into receivership.
The artists said there are no other studio spaces to rent in the city, and warned that it signals the death of fringe artists in the capital.
They have been given two weeks to leave the Richmond Road Studios in Fairview, which has been home to some 150 artists over the last 20 years.
It is an independent, unfunded studio paid for by the artists, who work in sculpture, painting, fine art and fashion design.
Sophie Behal, who has been based at the studio for six years, said the artists were sent a letter from the receivers, Kroll, which stated they had two weeks to leave the property.
“We didn’t know anything about it until a bailiff arrived here and had the keys,” she said.
“There were two studio members inside and the man said he was from the bank and was there to change the locks, saying he now owned the property and he had no idea that we were here.
“We haven’t been able to get in contact with the landlord. There has been no communication with us.”
Holly O’Brien, an artist from Galway, has been using the space to create her work for eight years.
She said the rent has remained affordable over the last 20 years, which allowed them to continue using the studios.
“There are some other studios in Dublin but the rent is so high and makes it impossible for us,” she added.
“We don’t know our fate or know what was happening.
“The receivers asked for proof within seven days of a reason why we shouldn’t be evicted, so we sent them bank statements and other documents.
“We have just been waiting for their response and today (Thursday) was the day they were supposed to evict us.”
Ms Behal said they have asked the receivers for an additional six months.
“It’s impossible to make work in such feeling of uncertainty. To make work as an artist, you need space, but we don’t know what is going to happen there,” she added.
“If I don’t have space to make work that stops because I need the space to be able to make messy sculptures and to make things that don’t work out and to make things that are ridiculous, things that you’re not going to make in your bedroom or your kitchen.
“You need space to play and experiment. Without anywhere to go, that’s it.
“Making physical artwork in Dublin, there is no future.”
Ms O’Brien said: “We make sculptures and large work so you need a studio, to not just make the work but store work and your materials.
“A studio isn’t just a space, it’s a collection of like-minded artists and the community is huge to keep you going because being an artist is so challenging.
“I may have to go to England or Scotland.”
Ms Behal added: “Dublin will become a city of monoculture. It’s going to become a city that is really bland and nobody will want to live in and eventually nobody will want to visit.
“A fringe culture feeds the main culture, and there is going to be nothing to feed it and it will die out.”
Painter Louise Butler, from Dublin, has been working in the studios for four years.
She said she will not be able to work until an alternative space is found.
“I’ll have to store everything up. I may have to work on the computer for a while. I like to do big paintings but I can’t do that from home,” Ms Butler added.
Painter James Kirwan also faces eviction from the studios.
“You can’t work under this stress, you need the headspace to do work,” he said.
“I have tried working from a little desk and it just didn’t work. It’s a different energy here.”

Williamsport, Pa. — Staff at the Family Promise Shelter provided video to Williamsport Police that allegedly showed a 29-year-old man sexually assaulting an eight-year-old boy.
After viewing the recording, Williamsport Police said Leo Johnny Ortega of Williamsport was charged with several felonies and jailed in Lycoming County Prison. According to a release from authorities, Ortega was taken into custody on April 6 at 7:30 a.m. near the 600 block of Hepburn Street.
“Upon review of the video, Ortega was observed engaging in inappropriate contact of a sexual nature with an eight-year-old male juvenile,” the release from authorities stated.
Ortega was charged with two first-degree felonies in involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child and unlawful contact with a minor along with two third-degree felonies in indecent assault and corruption of minors. Ortega was arraigned before Judge Gary Whiteman and given $100,000 bond.
Ortega will remain at the Lycoming County Prison until an April 14 preliminary hearing with Whiteman.

Which bounce houses are best?
A bounce house set up at your party will definitely make a statement and amaze both parents and children. Most people rent a bounce house for a special occasion, as they want to save up or avoid cluttering their storage room or garage. While buying a bounce house can be a significant investment, the margin between buying and renting is smaller than you’d think. There are several high-quality models out on the market that can be enjoyed 365 days a year.
The perfect bounce house is fun and engaging for kids and easy to use for adults. Particularly, the Bounceland Royal Palace has a compact footprint but can still accommodate five children. Here’s what to consider when shopping for a bounce house.
What to know before you buy a bounce house
Residential vs. commercial
When most people think of bounce houses, they think of giant unwieldy commercial models. The type that you might find at a county fair or a neighborhood block party. These commercial bounce houses are meant for heavy use by dozens of children over a long period of time.
This guide focuses on residential bounce houses. They’re just as fun, but they’re considerably smaller and intended for private use by a few children at a time. The other big difference is price. Commercial bounce houses cost several thousands of dollars, while residential bounce houses cost several hundreds.
Dimensions
Residential bounce houses can be used both indoors and outdoors. If using outdoors, be sure to secure your bounce house to the ground with stakes to prevent it from blowing away in the wind. In addition, measure the space where your bounce house will go before you buy. Make sure you have a few extra feet beyond that for the air blower.
If buying in-store, note the size of the box as well. This will give you a ballpark idea of how much storage room you’ll need. If buying online, you should be able to find the dimensions of the box somewhere in the item description.
Inflation method
Basic bounce houses use an air pump to inflate just like an air mattress. Like larger commercial models, mid-range and high-end bounce houses use an air blower that constantly runs to ensure proper inflation. While air blowers can be noisy, they’re the better option because they ensure your bounce house won’t deflate during play.
You may notice very small holes around the seams of your bounce house. This is normal and not a sign of a manufacturing defect. These holes let out a tiny amount of air so your bounce house doesn’t explode while attached to the air blower.
What to look for in a quality bounce house
Bounce floor size
Bounce floor size is the amount of space your children will have to play within the bounce house itself. This is different from the overall dimensions of the bounce house. A bigger bounce house does not necessarily mean a bigger bounce floor size.
Most bounce houses are suitable for kids up to 12 years old. If you buy a bounce house when your children are young enough, they can enjoy it for years. However, if you have older children, it may make more sense to rent for a single occasion than to buy if you have older children, knowing they’ll soon grow out of it.
Weight limit and capacity
Bounce houses have an overall weight limit that varies by manufacturer and design. Residential models can generally support 250-500 pounds. Also, keep an eye on overall capacity. Residential bounce houses can be used by anywhere from 2-5 children at one time.
It may be tempting to try out your child’s bounce house for yourself. Yet, don’t. The material used to make residential bounce houses is not as thick as the material used to make commercial bounce houses. They are not meant to support individual jumpers with adult weights.
Design and extras
Bounce houses are colorful and fun, but some models go beyond that with actual designs like a castle, a pirate ship or a tropical jungle. Some may contain one or more slides, and some of these slides can be used with water. Other bounce houses will have games or other interactive features built into the walls.
For adults, some models will come with a carrying or storage case for added convenience. What’s more, keep an eye out for bounce houses that come with their own air pumps.
How much you can expect to spend on a bounce house
Small bounce houses for toddlers that inflate like an air mattress can be found for $50-$150. Most residential models for children up to 12 years old fall between $200-$500. High-end residential bounce houses that approach the size of commercial models can easily fetch $1,000-$2,500.
Bounce house FAQ
How long does it take to inflate and deflate a bounce house?
A. Inflation time will depend on the size of your model. Most take 2-5 minutes to fully inflate. Be sure to tether your bounce house to the ground if using outside. Deflation should take 4-10 minutes. Some models have zipper compartments you can open so the air escapes faster. Make certain there are no children or pets in your bounce house before deflating.
How should I store my bounce house?
A. You should store your bounce house in a cool, dark place after each use. A hard plastic storage box in the garage is perfect. Leaving your bounce house deflated in the backyard leaves it open to sun and water damage that will decrease its service life. It could also become a tripping hazard.

NEW YORK, April 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Acutus Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFIB) between May 13, 2021 and November 11, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important April 18, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Acutus Medical securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Acutus Medical class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3255 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 18, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a material percentage of the AcQMap systems under evaluation had been randomly installed at sites with little, if any, consideration given to whether the healthcare providers at the selected locations were likely to adopt, or desire, Acutus Medical's products; (2) a material percentage of the AcQMap systems under evaluation had been installed in locations where Acutus Medical did not possess the infrastructure necessary to appropriately educate, train, and support medical service providers on the system's operations; (3) as a result, Acutus Medical was in the process of designing a strategic plan to terminate and relocate approximately 20% of then-existing AcQMap systems evaluation arrangements; (4) Acutus Medical's management discussion and analysis was materially false and misleading and failed to disclose that the termination and relocation of approximately 20% of existing AcQMap systems evaluation arrangements was reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Acutus Medical's 2021 financial results; and (5) Acutus Medical's risk factor discussions were materially false and misleading and made reference to potential risks without disclosing that such risks were then-existing or adequately describing the specific nature of the risks then facing Acutus Medical. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Acutus Medical class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3255 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Automakers have always been a turbulent mix of opinions and messages – that’s (among other things) what makes them such fascinating organizations. But I have seldom seen them in the state of utter confusion in which they now seem to find their way. Most automakers are now two automakers, with one side openly conflicting with the other. They are schizophrenic. And you have no idea what personality you will be dealing with that day.
Fortunately, you can easily identify the two personalities. One is the old car brand. It works with oil-soaked stuff, the balance is logical and clear, and it celebrates fun and is proud of its history. The other is the new car brand. It works with electricity, the balance is completely illogical, because billions in losses are suffered. There’s no point in promoting ‘fun’ as a concept. It deals in ‘mobility’ and is ashamed of its past.
They don’t have it easy
You can only feel sorry for the poor management that has to control these two companies, which really do live as one company. Take BMW, for example, which goes to great lengths to convince us that electric cars must not only be repulsively ugly, but also that they are the only way to survive the apocalypse.
At the same time, they bombard their social media with photos of the very latest M5 CS vaping a set of expensive Michelins with some pride and visible pleasure. And then there’s the Classic division, which continues to display glorious pictures from its gas-fuelled past with admirable persistence.
Is BMW an electric brand or a performance brand?
Which of these manifestations is the true BMW? Do the Electricity Department’s “mobility” lemmings sit opposite the people who install the M5 CS, constantly casting icy, disapproving looks at them? Does the BMW Classic figure who always posts those great “maximum cross” things on Instagram, then look for someone else who still smells vaguely of booze and cigarettes? I can hope so.
Like clothing companies and the media world in the broadest sense of the word, car manufacturers are the ultimate social mirror. The story of the automobile has been the story of society for the past 130 years, and as countries and powers embark on the arduous process of reexamining their historic actions a little more critically, it only makes sense that automakers would do the same. The problem is that when they rummage through the archives, they come across huge amounts of things that people actually want to see.
It can’t be otherwise
The struggles of the electric car are so difficult and – for me at least – insurmountable, that I really don’t see how that electric division of every car company will survive in the future. They are all desperately trying to find a voice, to create a new image that somehow includes the past, but without being accused of ruining the planet for a century.
Perhaps this is also why Tesla seems like such a “clean” offering. No past to get in the way, just a technological advantage and the ability to write your own history as time goes on. Volvo also seems to have taken a smart approach by packaging its future as a Polestar. It seems that the large existing companies are wasting so much time balancing past and future that they are allowing smaller, faster organizations to slip in and steal market share. That’s not a nice problem to have.

The expansion Seattle Kraken on Sunday signed their first-ever draft choice — Michigan star forward Matty Beniers — to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The deal for Beniers, who was taken second overall in the 2021 NHL Draft, is worth about $2.7 million, according to Sportsnet.
The Kraken said Beniers, 19, is expected to practice with the team on Monday and travel with the squad for games in Calgary and Winnipeg this week. The Kraken didn’t announce a date for his NHL debut, however.
“It’s truly an honor to join the Kraken organization, officially, and I can’t wait to get started,” Beniers said.
Beniers ended his sophomore season at Michigan by posting a team-high 43 points (20 goals, 23 assists) in 37 games. The point total was good for a 13th-place tie in the NCAA.

Rodney McLeod’s contributions to the 2017 Super Bowl championship team will forever live on. The hard-hitting safety was a fan favorite who never has to pay for a meal again in Philadelphia.
So, it was only fitting that McLeod returned the favor with a heartfelt thank you to Eagles fans on his way out the door. The 31-year-old decided to join the Indianapolis Colts after testing free agency. His two-year, $12 million deal with the Eagles ended in March. McLeod didn’t go quietly, though. He posted an Instagram message on Sunday to say he was “forever grateful” for the six seasons he spent in midnight green.
“I may no longer be playing football here, but Philadelphia will always be a personal home for me,” McLeod wrote. “My dedication towards this amazing Community will live on through my foundation, Change Our Future. To every single person I came n contact with here I am forever grateful.”
Terms of McLeod’s new contract with the Colts weren’t immediately disclosed. Meanwhile, the Eagles now begin the search to replace the veteran safety. Marcus Epps and K’Von Wallace are the in-house options, although the team is likely to pursue a young playmaker in April’s draft. Kyle Hamilton is the best safety available, but there are plenty of possibilities on Day 2. Keep an eye on J.T. Woods or Jalen Pitre or Lewis Cine.

Darius Slay Campaigning for Tyrann Mathieu
Eagles cornerback Darius Slay never misses an opportunity to recruit talent to Philly. It doesn’t always work, but sometimes it does. His campaign for the team to sign Steven Nelson prior to 2020 training camp paid off. Now Slay has his sights set on Tyrann Mathieu. Remember, the two players came into the NFL together as part of the 2013 draft class.
The Eagles held a virtual meeting with Mathieu last week and remain on the shortlist of teams interested in inking him. The Pro Bowl safety is one of the best in the business at his position which means he’s going to expect proper compensation. Spotrac projects Mathieu’s market value at $14.8 million per year.
Eagles Lose Emotional Leader, Defensive Captain
McLeod’s leadership will be harder to replace than his play on the field. He was the captain of the secondary and one of their emotional leaders. McLeod was one of the guys credited with turning the 2021 season around after speaking up on the plane ride back from Las Vegas.
The Raiders had just embarrassed the Eagles 33-22 – the final score was closer than what happened – on October 24 when McLeod sprung into action. Philadelphia went 7-3 from that point on and made the playoffs.
“Our continued belief in one another and figuring out ways to get better as individuals to help this team out,” McLeod told reporters on December 26. “It took a lot of hard work to put us back into this position that we are in today. Like you just said, it is far from over, and all we can do is take it one step at a time. That has been our mindset as we have been in this playoff mode taking it one game at a time. We do that and we will end up where we need to be.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia has tapped a new Ukraine war commander to take centralized control of the next phase of battleafter its costly failures in the opening campaign and carnage for Ukrainian civilians. U.S. officials don’t see one man making a difference in Moscow’s prospects.
Russia turned to Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, 60, one of Russia’s most experienced military officers and — according to U.S. officials — a general with a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other war theaters. Up to now, Russia had no central war commander on the ground.
The general’s appointment was confirmed by a senior U.S. official who was not authorized to be identified and spoke on condition of anonymity.
But the White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said “no appointment of any general can erase the fact that Russia has already faced a strategic failure in Ukraine.”
“This general will just be another author of crimes and brutality against Ukrainian civilians,” Sullivan said. “And the United States, as I said before, is determined to do all that we can to support Ukrainians as they resist him and they resist the forces that he commands.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki echoed that thought. “The reports we’re seeing of a change in military leadership and putting a general in charge who was responsible for the brutality and the atrocities we saw in Syria shows that there’s going to be a continuation of what we’ve already seen on the ground in Ukraine and that’s what we are expecting,” she said.
The decision to establish new battlefield leadership comes as Russia gears up for what is expected to be a large and more focused push to expand Russian control in Ukraine’s east and south, including the Donbas, and follows a failed opening bid in the north to conquer Kyiv, the capital.
Dvornikov gained prominence while leading the Russian group of forces in Syria, where Moscow has waged a military campaign to shore up President Bashar Assad’s regime during a devastating civil war.
Dvornikov is a career military officer and has steadily risen through the ranks after starting as a platoon commander in 1982. He fought during the second war in Chechnya and took several top positions before being placed in charge of the Russian troops in Syria in 2015.
Under Dvornikov’s command, Russian forces in Syria were known for crushing dissent in part by destroying cities, lobbing artillery and dropping what were often crudely made barrel bombs in sustained attacks that have displaced millions of Syrian civilians. The United Nations says the more than decade-long war has killed more than 350,000 people.
In 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Dvornikov the Hero of Russia medal, one of the country’s highest awards. Dvornikov has served as the commander of the Southern Military District since 2016.
Lt. Col. Fares al-Bayoush, a Syrian army defector, said Sunday that while the situation in Syria is different than in Ukraine because the Russian military was fighting insurgent groups and not Ukraine’s professional army, he expects a similar “scorched-earth” strategy.
Al-Bayoush said he believes the aim of naming Dvornikov as Ukraine war commander is to turn the war into “rapid battles” in several places at the same time.
“I expected him to use the scorched earth policy that was used in Syria,” al-Bayoush said, referring to Russian-backed attacks in Syria in which cities and towns were put under long sieges while being subjected to intense bombardment that left many people dead and caused wide destruction to infrastructure and residential areas. “He has very good experience in this policy.”
“This commander is a war criminal,” al-Bayoush said by telephone from Turkey.
Since Russia joined the war in Syria in September 2015, Assad’s forces have taken control of most of the country after being on the verge of collapse. The Russian air force carried out thousands of airstrikes since, helping Russian-backed Syrian troops take areas after fighters were forced to choose between an amnesty in return for dropping their arms or being taken by buses into rebel-held areas.
The last major Russian-backed offensive in Syria lasted several months, until March 2020, when a truce was reached between Russia and Turkey, which supported rival sides.
Sullivan on Sunday said the Russian general has a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and “we can expect more of the same” in Ukraine. But he stressed that the U.S. strategy remains the same in supporting Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“Our policy is unequivocal — that we will do whatever we can to help Ukraine succeed,” Sullivan said. “Which means that we need to keep giving them weapons so that they can make progress on the battlefield. And we need to keep giving them military support and strong economic sanctions to improve their position, their posture at the negotiating table.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, meanwhile, spoke by video conference Sunday to a small number of Ukrainian troops in the U.S. who are now returning to their country. The group has been in the U.S. since last fall for military schooling and were given training on new drones the U.S. sent to Ukraine last week for the war with Russia.
Austin thanked the Ukrainian troop members for their courage and service and pledged continued U.S. support and security aid, according to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby. Kirby said the small group was given some advanced tactical training, including on the Switchblade armed kamakazi drones, as well as instruction on patrol craft operations, communications and maintenance.
In an interview Saturday with The Associated Press, Zelenskyy acknowledged that despite his hopes for peace, he must be “realistic” about the prospects for a swift resolution given that negotiations have so far been limited to low-level talks that do not include Putin.
Zelenskyy renewed his plea for more weapons before an expected surge in fighting in the country’s east. He said, with frustration in regards to supplies of weapons from the U.S. and other Western nations, “of course it’s not enough.”
Sullivan spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union” and NBC’s “Meet the Press. Psaki spoke on ”Fox News Sunday.”

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson accompanied Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the streets of Kyiv during his surprise visit Saturday to Ukraine, weeks after Russian forces attacked the city.
Zelensky’s office released a video of the two leaders walking under heavy security in the largely empty city center.
Johnson and Zelensky cross the main street of Khreshchatyk, which leads to Maidan Square.
On their way, the two leaders greeted many passers-by, and one of them was so moved when he saw the British Prime Minister in Kyiv that he said to him, “We need you.”
“We are honored to be of assistance,” Johnson replied. “You have a wonderful president, Mr. Zelensky.”
Johnson previously praised Zelensky’s “heroism” in helping Ukraine repel the Russian attack on Kyiv, citing Western intelligence’s belief that Russia was certain it could take Ukraine “within days.”
Ukraine says it has retaken the entire Kyiv region from Russian forces, but the capital, whose outskirts it has occupied, remains in a precarious position.
Johnson’s visit comes days after the bodies of civilians were revealed following the withdrawal of Russian forces from towns near the Ukrainian capital.
Johnson’s visit, which has not been announced by London or Kyiv, is the first by a G7 leader to Ukraine since the Russian offensive began on February 24.

PARIS. «Macron’s politics is old, it is based on concepts that are already outdated. He neglected the climate emergency. And my France ignores the last ones ». Juliette Binoche does not want to get into the debate between presidential candidates. But there is a face of French society that is stubbornly keen to tell: the harsh reality of the invisible. So she did her in her latest film, “Between two worlds”, directed by Emmanuel Carrère, where she took on the role of precarious workers on the Calais ferries. Today’s vote is dedicated to them. And to young people, whose future is ruined by French politics.
Madame Binoche, how do you judge these past five years at the helm of Macron?
«Emmanuel Macron has failed above all in terms of ecology, he did not make us take the necessary leap. He has given a lot of good speeches using the keywords of environmentalism, but in reality we have achieved so little. It is really sad. Catastrophic for future generations. Apparently it’s not an emergency for him. We continue to put glyphosate in the fields, biodiversity is rapidly depleting. Intensive farming continues: how can we bear it? We have forgotten about respect for our common good. They seem superfluous questions, but they are vital ».
In your opinion, has precariousness increased in your country in recent years?
“Yup. The current president only carries forward the values of profit, always with this idea of the economy that must grow at all costs. But these values smell of death. Many young people feel it and know it. Young people think about the future and what they will have to manage tomorrow: a disfigured and polluted land ».
The impression is that France has moved to the right, with ever brighter tones. Is extremism winning, even among young people?
«The impression I have is that we are reaching a point of no return. People are tired of ego wars between politicians, while scientists have been ringing the alarm bell of the climate for years. Our economic system is suicidal, but who will stop this machine? Who will have the courage to propose another way of living? Many French people are starting to move out of big cities, to organize themselves to become energy independent. If politicians don’t want to change, people change. Politics is further behind than people ».
She is the protagonist of a film that has just been released, based on a long reportage by the journalist Florence Aubenas on the ferries departing from Calais. What’s the message?
«They are the jobs of connection, the small jobs that keep our societies together, such as cleaning women in companies, housekeepers, carers for the elderly and disabled. All these jobs are mainly carried out by women, often very poorly paid. These workers I have met run exhausted, sometimes they walk for miles to reach the workplace, often they can only earn 600, 800, 1000 euros a month, in total precariousness. The film immerses us in a reality that is talked about too little ».
Is there a forgotten France? By which politicians is this everyday life of ordinary misery represented?
«There is a submerged France, ignored by everyone. I will quote François Ruffin, the deputy (of La France Insoumise, ed) who last year made a formidable documentary entitled “Debout les femmes”, proposing an amendment to revise the laws to help people who carry out humble and precarious jobs. There is no decent protection for them. But my fellow Members didn’t care, the amendment was rejected and nothing changes. Yet these people live below the poverty line ».
In Macron’s France (and before) there have been many strikes by precarious actors. Has the life of cinema or theater workers deteriorated in recent years?
«Macron’s politics did enormous damage to the art world. Not only to the artists but also to the small trades that exist thanks to theater, concerts, films, etc. I don’t know how all these people managed to survive. He has been given financial compensation by the government, but an artist does not live on money alone, he lives on his art. The general situation of arthouse films has been greatly weakened, attendance at the cinema has decreased. Arthouse cinema cannot recover after Covid. While the second-class planes were full, the seats in the halls were empty. Streaming platforms have taken over, there is some evidence of resistance, but uncertainty freezes our environment ».
During the making of the film, did you ever have the feeling of being on the side of the yellow vests, exasperated by the crisis?
“I can’t speak for myself. But for the women protagonists of my film. When I spoke to them, many told me they did not like the yellow vests, because the protests prevented them from working. They are in a much more precarious condition than the yellow vests. They have no shock absorbers, they cannot lose their jobs ».
The characters of “Le Quai de Ouistreham”, the book’s original title, are capable of extraordinary solidarity. Is it from desperation that new forms of society are born?
“The best resistance to despair is to react within oneself to the harshness of living conditions. If you have to get up at 6 to clean the toilets, collect other people’s garbage, in contrast the desire to laugh is stronger. The anger of life makes you react. Creating a more humane society should be the work of politicians, but we all do our part too. I am thinking of migrants, whom we condemn with a glance, we ghettoize. We are responsible for this divisive spirit. We have heartless heads, paralyzed mentalities. Because we are afraid of lowering ourselves to the level of the least, and in the end we descend even lower, ignoring and despising those who serve us ».
Have you ever been to the Calais jungle? When you went to London, did you ever think about who worked on the ferries?
“I never went to the Calais jungle, I never had time. Many criticize us artists who have a privileged place. I understand the reasons, but I also believe it is a summary judgment. Actors put themselves in the place of others, of different lives, ask the big questions through films or plays. We are bridges. With my films I prefer to choose stories that talk about important themes ».
Her biography says that she worked as a shop assistant in a Paris boutique for five years, while trying to establish herself as an actress. Can you tell us about that period?
“I only worked in a department store for 3 or 4 months, and I started being an actress at 18, don’t believe too much in biographies.”

The former reality girl Karen Dejo She was concerned about the recent events that have marked the country, such as the strike of carriers, the rise in gasoline prices, the unexpected curfew implemented last Tuesday, the 5th, and the latest demonstrations in favor of the vacancy of Pedro Castillo.
Currently, the model is away from television; however, he keeps abreast of what is happening in Peru. “It should be noted that all the price increases come from the Ukraine War with Russia and that affects globally. But each country is already independent of how it handles the inflation that all this entails, ”he told El Popular.
Karen Dejo supports the vacancy of Pedro Castillo
The former participant of “This is war” spoke about the recent protests in various regions of the country, where hundreds of Peruvians gathered to ask Pedro Castillo to resign.
“In favor (of the march), yes I am (…) Unfortunately, the Peruvian people are somehow dissatisfied to the point of taking to the streets to protest (…) This affects all social classes.he expressed.
Likewise, he indicated that he also shares the thoughts of thousands of Peruvians who request the resignation or vacancy of the president in the face of constant questioning of his management. “I should (resign) just like what happened with (Manuel) Merino with the protests”Karen Dejo added.

Karen Dejo causes a car accident: “My pressure dropped a little”
The dancer Karen Dejo was heading to a well-known Miraflores spa along the Costa Verde beach circuit on March 23, when suddenly a linear motorcycle crossed the right side of her truck causing an impact. However, according to the images, Dejo was at all times aware of the affected person.
“We were about to collide, luckily the boy reacted and I also reacted; if not, the impact would have been stronger. I was scared to death and the boy too. There was an impact, but it was not strong, the boy fell with the motorcycle and nothing happened to the motorcycle, and my car only has a scratch (…) My pressure dropped a little, but I calmed down, “he told “Love and fire”.

Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Husky coaches continue to work hard recruiting the 2023 class this spring. This last week the a Husky coaches were able to get several priority recruits onto campus to check out practice. Here is a look at some notable names that made their way there:
4 star edge prospect Blake Purchase from Cherry Creek HS, CO was able to head up to Seattle. Rated by 247sports as the 104th best recruit in the country and 10th best edge in the 2023 class, Purchase is a priority recruit for the Husky coaches. Listed at 6’3” and around 210 pounds, Purchase has good length for the position and he already holds offers from USC, Oregon, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. With the Huskies likely losing ZTF after this season they will need to find some more edge players to fill his void and Purchase would be a great pickup for the Husky coaching staff.
Full Junior Season! https://t.co/eVRKVcjlUy @CCNextLevelFB
— Blake Purchase (@BlakePurchase) December 16, 2021
Also making his way over to campus was 4 star quarterback Gabarri Johnson from Lincoln HS, WA is another priority recruit for the Husky coaches. Rated by 247sports as the 12th best quarterback in the country, the Huskies really need to land a high level quarterback in the 2023 class after not landing one in the 2022 class. When you watch him throw the ball you can see how good of a distributor of the football that he is, and that is a key to Kalen Deboer’s and Offense coordinator Ryan Grubb’s offense. The Huskies are one of the teams at the front of his recruitment but they are battling Arkansas right now to try and land him.
Also from in-state the Huskies were able to get 5 star defensive edge Jayden Wayne from Lincoln HS, WA to campus. Listed at 6’5” and around 245 pounds Wayne has excellent size for a defensive end or edge spot, and he is one of the more highly recruited players in the country right now. UW is hoping they can beat out schools like Miami, LSU, Alabama, and Oregon for his commitment. The Husky program has had trouble recently in their efforts to keep the top prospect home, and Wayne’s recruitment will be another key in state battle that the Husky coaches need to win. If the Huskies could keep Wayne in-state they would send a message to the rest of the country that they are building a fence in-state.

Husky coaches will continue to use spring practice as a way to get recruits to check out Husky Stadium and watch the Husky coaches on the field. That is all for today and as always follow me @asieverkropp.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)– The Masters is ‘a tradition unlike any other.’ That rings especially true for Catherine Luckey-Ivey, who has attended the Masters every year for the majority of her life.
“As a teenager, we’d all come out and you could buy a day ticket for $3 and it was a little button. You’d put on your button and walk in. Just walk right up to the gate and walk in,” Luckey-Ivey said.
She and her friends made a tradition of picnicking while they watched the tournament. Her tray of choice won her the endearing nickname ‘the pecan lady.’
“When we first started coming we sat on blankets on the ground. No ropes, no anything and I would bring praline pecans. Another lady would bring cheese biscuits, somebody else would bring pimento cheese sandwiches. This was before they had concessions even,” Luckey-Ivey said.
Decades ago, she claimed a spot at hole number nine.
“I’ve been coming to the Masters longer than I’ve been sitting on number nine, but I’ve sat on number nine for 55 years,” Luckey-Ivey said.
Over those 55 years, she’s become quite the celebrity to golfers and patrons.
“People come up all the time that say , ‘do you remember me, do you remember me?’ And I have lots of people that sit beside me,” Luckey-Ivey said.
She says she has the best seat in the house, and she doesn’t plan on giving it up any time soon.
“To get my chair in that corner I have to get up at six o’clock in the morning at my age and run up the hill with two chairs to put down. It’s quite a feat, but it’s worth it,” Luckey-Ivey said.
She’s says things have changed over the years, but she describes those changes as marvelous.
“Starting First Tee, having the Drive, Chip & Putt. Having the Women’s Amateur tournament here for women. They’re just so altruistic. Everything they do is for our nation and our state and our city and it’s just marvelous,” Luckey-Ivey said.
This year marks ten years since Augusta National first welcomed women members.
“I can remember when Condoleezza Rice got in. She’s just such a marvelous woman to begin with. They’re all so altruistic. I don’t think a member can get in unless they have a heart to give. I think that’s part of the way they get their membership. What all they’ve done is just wonderful,” Luckey-Ivey said.
Luckey-Ivey wears her badges from years past on her hat and she says her favorite badges are from the years her children worked as runners for the press secretary.

Central division rivals meet in the first round of the playoffs when the defending champions Milwaukee Bucks face off against the Chicago Bulls. Milwaukee swept the regular season series between the two teams, so this could be a quick one. There is some recent beef between the two teams stemming from Grayson Allen’s flagrant foul on Alex Caruso this season.
No. 3 Bucks vs. No. 6 Bulls
Head-to-head record: Bucks won 4-0
Overall record: Bucks 51-31, Bulls TBD
Leading scorer on Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Leading scorer on Bulls: DeMar DeRozan
Game 1 odds:
Spread: TBD
Over/Under: TBD
Moneyline: TBD
The Bucks will look to defend their title as they’ve made a very strong case for themselves throughout the season. They remained one of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference all campaign as Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team in the right direction heading into the postseason. Giannis topped the team in both scoring and rebounds by a large margin, and is a real top-three contender for the 2021-22 MVP award. Complemented by stalwarts Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and Bobby Portis, most of the championship team from last year will be on the floor this time around as the Bucks look to repeat.
Chicago returns to the postseason for the first time since the 2016-17 season. The Bulls had a solid year led by DeMar DeRozan, who went huge especially in the second half of the campaign. He finished as a top 10 scorer in the league and will look to make a playoff run alongside star teammates Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball, and Nikola Vucevic. They spent a good chunk of the season at the top of the Eastern Conference, but weren’t able to hold onto home court advantage as the playoffs drew closer.

New buses will shuttle more guests to Yosemite National Park starting in 2023
New buses will soon be available to take you to Yosemite National Park. The Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS) has been awarded $4.6 million to buy five new "over the road coaches." The new clean-diesel vehicles will be ADA accessible and have restroom facilities on board. YARTS was one of just 14 recipients in California to receive this type of funding from the Federal Transit Administration. The money will allow YARTS to own its entire fleet instead of having to rely on leased vehicles at times when Yosemite visitation is especially high. The new coaches are scheduled to join routes in summer 2023.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — As Ukrainian forces dug in on Sunday, Russia lined up more firepower and tapped a decorated general to take centralized control of the war ahead of a potentially decisive showdown in eastern Ukraine that could start within days.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Sunday in his nightly address to the nation that the coming week would be as crucial as any in the war, saying “Russian troops will move to even larger operations in the east of our state.”
He also accused Russia of trying to evade responsibility for war crimes in Ukraine.
“When people lack the courage to admit their mistakes, apologize, adapt to reality and learn, they turn into monsters. And when the world ignores it, the monsters decide that it is the world that has to adapt to them,” Zelenskyy said.
“The day will come when they will have to admit everything. Accept the truth,” he added.
Experts have said that the next phase of the battle may begin with afull-scale offensive. The outcome could determine the course of the conflict, which has flattened cities, killed untold thousands and isolated Moscow economically and politically.
In an interview that appeared on “60 Minutes” Sunday night, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s fate as the war shifts to the south and east depends on whether the United States will help match an expected surge in Russian weaponry in those regions.
“To be honest, whether we will be able to (survive) depends on this,” said Zelenskyy, speaking through a translator. “I have 100% confidence in our people and in our armed forces. But unfortunately, I don’t have the confidence that we will be receiving everything we need.”
Zelenskyy thanked President Joe Biden for U.S. military aide to date but added that he “long ago” forwarded a list of specific items Ukraine desperately needed and that history would judge Biden’s response.
“He has the list,” Zelenskyy said. “President Biden can enter history as the person who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Ukrainian people who won and chose the right to have their own country. (This) also depends on him.”
Questions remain about the ability of Russia’s depleted and demoralized forces to conquer much ground after their advance on the capital, Kyiv, was repelled by determined Ukrainian defenders. Britain’s Defense Ministry reported Sunday that the Russian forces were trying to compensate for mounting casualties by recalling veterans discharged in the past decade.
In Washington, a senior U.S. official said that Russia has appointed Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, one of its most seasoned military chiefs, to oversee the invasion. The official was not authorized to be identified and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Until now, Russia has had no central war commander on the ground.
The new battlefield leadership comes as the Russian military prepares for what is expected to be a large, focused push to expand control in Ukraine’s east. Russia-backed separatists have fought Ukrainian forces in the eastern Donbas region since 2014 and declared some territory there as independent.
Dvornikov, 60, gained prominence as head of the Russian forces deployed to Syria in 2015 to shore up President Bashar Assad’s government during the country’s devastating civil war. U.S. officials say he has a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other war theaters.
Russian authorities do not generally confirm such appointments and have said nothing about a new role for Dvornikov, who received the Hero of Russia medal, one of the country’s highest awards, from President Vladimir Putin in 2016.
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan, speaking Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” played down the significance of the appointment.
“What we have learned in the first several weeks of this war is that Ukraine will never be subjected to Russia,” Sullivan said. “It doesn’t matter which general President Putin tries to appoint.”
Western military analysts say Russia’s assault has increasingly focused on a sickle-shaped arc of eastern Ukraine — from Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, in the north to Kherson in the south.
The narrower effort could help Russia’s problem, earlier in the war, of spreading its offensive too widely over too great a geographic area.
“Just looking at it on a map, you can see that they will be able to bring to bear a lot more power in a lot more concentrated fashion,” by focusing mainly on eastern Ukraine, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Friday.
Newly released Maxar Technologies satellite imagery showed an 8-mile (13-kilometer) convoy of military vehicles headed south through Ukraine to Donbas, recalling images of a convoy that got stalled on roads to Kyiv for weeks before Russia gave up on trying to take the capital.
On Sunday, Russian forces shelled government-controlled Kharkiv and sent reinforcements toward Izyum to the southeast in a bid to break Ukraine’s defenses, the Ukrainian military command said. The Russians also kept up their siege of Mariupol, a key southern port that has been under attack and surrounded for nearly 1 ½ months.
A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, said Russia’s military used air-launched missiles to hit Ukraine’s S-300 air-defense missile systems in the southern Mykolaiv region and at an air base in Chuhuiv, a city not far from Kharkiv.
Sea-launched Russian cruise missiles destroyed the headquarters of a Ukrainian military unit stationed farther west in the Dnipro region, Konashenkov said. Neither the Ukrainian nor the Russian military claims could be independently verified.
The airport in Dnipro, Ukraine’s fourth-largest city, was also hit by missiles twice on Sunday, according to the regional governor.
On Sunday night, Zelenskyy again called on Western countries to provide more assistance to Ukraine. During talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Zelenskyy said, he discussed “how to strengthen sanctions against Russia and … force Russia to seek peace.”
“I am glad to note that the German position has recently changed in favor of Ukraine. I consider it absolutely logical,” Zelenskyy said.
The president of the European Commission said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that Ukraine’s response to a questionnaire she recently handed to Zelenskyy will enable her to decide whether to recommend the nation as a candidate to join the EU.
The process normally takes years, but Ursula von der Leyen has said Ukraine’s application could take just weeks to consider.
“Yesterday, somebody told me: ‘You know, when our soldiers are dying, I want them to know that their children will be free and be part of the European Union,’” von der Leyen said.
Ukrainian authorities have accused Russian forces of committing war crimes against civilians, including airstrikes on hospitals, a missile attack that killed at least 57 people at a train station and other violence discovered as Russian soldiers withdrew from the outskirts of Kyiv.
A day after meeting with Zelenskyy in Kyiv, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced that he will meet Monday in Moscow with Putin. Austria, a member of the European Union, is militarily neutral and not a member of NATO.
Ukraine has blamed Russia for killing civilians in Buchaand other towns outside the capital where hundreds of bodies, many with their hands bound and signs of torture, were found after Russian troops retreated. Russia has denied the allegations and falsely claimed that the scenes in Bucha were staged.
Maria Vaselenko, 77, a resident of Borodyanka, said her daughter and son-in-law were killed, leaving her grandchildren orphaned.
“The Russians were shooting. And some people wanted to come and help, but they were shooting them. They were putting explosives under dead people,” Vaselenko said. “That’s why my children have been under the rubble for 36 days. It was not allowed” to remove bodies.
In Mariupol, Russia was deploying Chechen fighters, reputed to be particularly fierce. Capturing the city on the Sea of Azov would give Russia a land bridge to the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized from Ukraine eight years ago.
Residents have lacked food, water and electricity since Russian forces surrounded the city and frustrated evacuation missions. Ukrainian authorities think an airstrike on a theater that was being used as a bomb shelter killed hundreds of civilians, and Zelenskyy has said he expects more evidence of atrocities to be found once Mariupol no longer is blockaded.
The Institute for the Study of War, an American think tank, predicted that Russian forces will “renew offensive operations in the coming days” from Izyum, a town southeast of Kharkiv, in the campaign to conquer the Donbas, which comprises Ukraine’s industrial heartland.
But in the view of the think tank’s analysts, “The outcome of forthcoming Russian operations in eastern Ukraine remains very much in question.”

TOKYO (AP) — Roki Sasaki pitched a perfect game with 19 strikeouts, leading the Chiba Lotte Marines over the Orix Buffaloes 6-0 on Sunday in Japan's Pacific League.
The 20-year-old right-hander struck out 13 consecutive batters and needed 105 pitches to complete the nine-inning game. Ko Matsukawa, an 18-year-old catcher, was behind the plate.
“This is the greatest,” Sasaki was quoted as saying by Japan's Kyodo news agency.
“Honestly, I wasn’t thinking about the possibility," he said of the perfect game. “I figured it would be OK if I gave up a hit, so I just pitched and put my trust in Matsukawa right until the end.”
Sasaki pitched the 16th complete game perfect game in the Japanese major leagues, the first since Hiromi Makihara of the Central League's Yomiuri Giants in a 6-0 win against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp on May 18, 1994.
Kyodo reported that Sasaki's father was killed in the in the earthquake, tsunami and meltdown of three nuclear reactors in March 2011 that devastated northeastern Japan.
Sasaki signed with the Marines out of high school, and was scouted by Major League Baseball teams. He is reported to routinely touch 100 mph with his fastball.

It’s an operation in which each member has a pivotal role to play and for Marvin Cole, ensuring that the kites are of the best quality is one of his primary objectives.
At the same time, Cole’s kite-making business along the Buxton Public Road on the East Coast of Demerara ensures that the youths of the area are meaningfully occupied. He described it as a team effort that every member of the team looks forward to at the beginning of the year.
Cole’s preparations would also see him making orders for materials weeks before Easter. He said he imports some of the materials from Brazil and some from Trinidad and Tobago. He explained that the plastic and paper, as well as the string used in making the kites, are brought from those countries.
“We have some special kite paper which we have to bring from Brazil,” he added. The wood is sourced locally,” Cole said.
In terms of the prices, he explained this varies from as low as $1000 to $15,000, the latter being the bigger kites such as the 6 feet kites. He said too that there are persons who would make special orders in terms of design and those, he noted, would also carry a cost agreed upon by him and the customer.
“Any kite you want we make, the most unusual I ever had was around the world kite and that had a lot of work,” he added, noting that it was the most difficult one he ever made.
Finally, the other members of the team would be tasked with cutting and pasting the paper or plastic and adding the final touches to “style” the kite.
“We got box kites, round the world, and star kites,” Cole added as he spoke of the multiple designs his team has in their repertoire.Cole and his team of 20 young men work tirelessly in the weeks preceding Easter and according to him, it is a business that started way back in 1989.
“This whole operation started back in 89 and at the time we used to be at the back of the village,” he told this publication recently.
Cole said the seasonal business survived the crime wave of 2002 and according to him, it was around that time that he and his team moved the business to the front, to the public road at Buxton. Kite-making is a skill that was passed down and according to the man, it is one which he enjoys each year.
He reiterated that each person in the group has his/her role, explaining that he would buy the wood and he also takes care of the cutting of the wood into smaller pieces. Silverballi and Simarupa are the primary types of wood used since they are lightweight. Cole’s brother would then gather the frames and other colleagues would then place the twine around the frame onto which the kite paper or plastic would be placed.
Cole said some two weeks before the Easter season begins, he makes his preparations and heads to the roadside.
As it relates to orders, Cole revealed that he makes kites free of cost for schools while other organisations such as churches would order large amounts, numbering more than 500 at once. They would pay for the kites while the businessman would also donate some kites free to the church.
“It is part of giving back,” he said.
Cole also spoke about his young team and he noted that many of the boys started making kites in their childhood years.
“Since January they would say ‘yo Cole, when we starting?’ and then we would come out and everybody know what they got to do when we out here,” he said of the team.
As Cole and his team design their kites, multiple vehicles stop in front of the kite stand as customers make special and large orders for kites, as demand for the kites increase as the Easter weekend approaches.

Welcome back to Ask Giz, the series where Gizmodo Australia answers your burning questions of the weird and wonderful sort.
If you haven’t already, you should submit a question to us! Anything tech, health, science or gaming-related is something we’d love to talk about. You can submit a question here.
This week, our question comes from “P” in New Zealand. They’re curious about masturbation while trying to conceive.
Thank you for the question. I also appreciate your added note of “Trying to make a baby stat!”, which gives this Ask Giz a sense of urgency, so, we’re on the case, P! We’re going to tackle this from a few angles. Starting with whether masturbation makes you less fertile.
Does Masturbation make you less fertile?
The simple answer is: No. This is actually a common myth about masturbation for both males and females, that playing with yourself somehow makes you less fertile. There’s no evidence supporting that masturbation makes you less fertile.
A common myth is that masturbation can affect ovulation, but there’s no evidence to support this. However, as Doctor Bhavatej Enganti puts it:
“If a couple is planning to have a baby, the male partner, needs to restrict his masturbation. This is because masturbation in men leads to ejaculation and if you are planning a baby, you must conserve your sperms to impregnate your partner.”
How long does it take for one to recharge… Ahem, I mean, produce new sperm? About 64 days. That means, effectively, you can rely on having a high sperm count if you wait just over two months (this is called spermatogenesis).
Back to the question generally though, no, apart from having a lower sperm count, masturbation doesn’t have an impact on your fertility.
In fact, according to Healthline, masturbation can actually have benefits, by releasing dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, testosterone and prolactin in your brain. These chemicals can lead to a reduction in stress, however, it’s important to note that (just like many things that make us happy) masturbation, can be addictive. That’s a whole other question for a whole other time.
Now, I hear you sex-minded Gizmodo readers asking “What about erectile dysfunction, does masturbation cause that?”
Nope! Medical News Today is quite direct with this myth. Erectile Dysfunction is often caused by other things, like age and diabetes. In younger people, it can be caused by stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia and other medical issues.
Do what you do
That’s… Kind of it! If you’re concerned about masturbation affecting your fertility, don’t be, as there’s no evidence supporting this. The only thing worth noting is making sure you have enough sperm to, er, go around, if you’re trying to conceive.
Happy fapping.

Eight persons, including two government officials, have been arrested for the illegal dismantling of a 60-feet-long iron bridge in Bihar, which made headlines, a senior police officer said on Sunday. According to Rohtas Superintendent of Police, those arrested for the “stealth" of the metal bridge over a canal in the district include a sub-divisional officer and an official of the weather department.
“During investigations, we learnt that weather department official Arvind Kumar had led the group, armed with gas cutters and other equipment, which dismantled the structure a few days ago, the SP said. Villagers, who expressed curiosity were told, falsely, by Kumar and his associates that they were acting as per orders of the government.
Since the steel structure was in a state of disuse, nobody complained. “We caught hold of Kumar and came to know that the area’s SDO, Radhe Shyam Singh, was the mastermind. The SDO has been arrested along with six other accomplices, he said.
The JCB machine and the pick-up van, besides gas cutters used in the illegal operation, have also been seized, the SP said, adding, further investigation is underway.

Chris Bailey, the lead singer of seminal Australian punk rock band The Saints, has died.
The musician’s death on Saturday was announced on social media by the band.
“It is with great pain in our hearts that we have to inform you about the passing of Chris Bailey, singer and songwriter of The Saints, on April the 9th 2022,” the Facebook post said on Monday.
“Chris lived a life of poetry and music and stranded on a Saturday night.”
Bailey was born in 1957 in Kenya to Irish parents and migrated to Brisbane from Belfast when he was seven.
He co-founded the band with his school friends Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay in Brisbane in 1973.
Keupper tweeted he was “very sad to confirm the news about Chris Bailey dying on the weekend”.
“Chris and I met when we were about 14 during detention at Oxley High School and became close friends which later developed into what I always thought was an extremely strong artistic partnership,” he wrote.
Tweet from @EdKuepper
The Saints formed their own label, Fatal Records in 1976, and independently released punk song I’m Stranded to radio stations in Australia and Britain in 1976 before it was picked up and released in Britain.
They were then signed by record label EMI for a three-album contract.
They recorded the I’m Stranded LP in 1977 and achieved chart success in Britain, their release preceding a wave of groundbreaking punk rock debut albums including the Sex Pistols and The Clash.
But The Saints were less successful in Australia at the time.
Police attended the band’s Brisbane shows and arrested audience members and musicians, leading to their bookings evaporating.
The State Library of Queensland added a split 7-inch vinyl single of (I’m) Stranded / No Time into its treasured John Oxley collection in 2016, commemorating the 40th anniversary of its release.
“The 7-inch vinyl single featured represents a piece of music history, influencing generations of bands around the world,” the library said.
“Released in September 1976, months ahead of the Sex Pistols’ and The Clash’s debuts, the unknown band The Saints’ single (I’m) Stranded / No Time propelled the Brisbane boyhood friends to the forefront of a new underground punk music movement.”
Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses tweeted lyrics from The Saints’ song Know Your Product, on Monday.
“Rest In Peace Chris Bailey. 21 years is a long, long time-to be in this prison when there ain’t no crime. Saints forever!,” McKagan wrote.

Terming the West’s accusation of mass civilian killings by Russian troopers in Bucha near Kiev “propaganda by vested interests who want to derail the peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia”, Roman Babushkin, Russian Deputy Chief of Mission to India, has demanded an independent investigation into it.
In an exclusive interview, he said the use of nuclear weapons in the ongoing conflict is “hopefully unlikely" as Russia sees its nuclear weapons as a deterrent. He also said that the pace of Russia’s special military operations in Ukraine is slower than one would have expected as the Russians are targeting only military installations and not civilian infrastructure.
He noted that when Russian troops left Bucha, the mayor of the city, did not raise his voice. It was only after Ukrainian troops entered the city that reports of civilian killings came out. He said that Russia wants to approach the international community to investigate these killings impartially.
Edited excerpts:
ON THE BATTLE OF NARRATIVES
Babushkin spoke at length about the “one-sidedness" of Western media outlets in depicting the Russian operation in Ukraine. He said Russian media outlets were not allowed to work in Europe and other countries, making an alternative perspective difficult to access. “The West has been dominating information warfare in the current scenario. Russia has been trying to balance it by providing other sources of information, but DDoS attacks on official websites have hindered an effective response,” he said. He added that the Russian Embassy in India has appreciated the freedom of speech India has allowed regarding presenting Russia’s perspective on its operation in Ukraine.
ON IMPACT OF WEST’S SANCTIONS
On being asked if Russia was getting isolated, as the West seems to have many more countries, as visible in the voting pattern, in the United Nations, he said that Russians are confident that they can’t be isolated in the present global scenario and Russia would continue to remain relevant as an attractive destination to do business for the rest of the world. “It is a Utopian idea to isolate a country like Russia, which is partnered with countries that are seeking a multipolar world, like China and India,” he said.
INDIA-RUSSIA RELATIONSHIP
On Russia’s relationship with India, Babushkin stressed the importance of India’s balanced and independent position on the war. “India has shown that it will not join the bandwagon on unilateral sanctions and not bow down to the West’s pressure on following a unipolar world order. It is playing an important and impartial role in the mediation and peace process that can resolve the conflict based on the international principle — security for everyone,” he said.

Highlighting the future prospects, Babushkin said, “When some [doors] are getting closed, it is natural to move towards doors that are open.”
Russia is open to closer ties with all its partners, including India, to trade beneficially with mutual respect and equality. Russia is especially interested in productive collaborations with Indian tech and pharma companies.
TIMEFRAME TO END WAR
When asked if the war has gone beyond the timeline that Russia had earlier expected, Babushkin said that everyone wants this war to end as early as possible. “In fact, we never wanted this conflict to happen. This conflict didn’t happen overnight this February. You have to go back in history to understand it…”
ALSO READ | Ukraine War: West Hasn’t Stopped Buying Oil from Russia, but is Pushing India to Restrict Trade
When asked if the Russian military operations are making much slower progress than expected and is there a specific timeframe to end these operations, the Russian envoy said, “Special military operations (as the Russia terms its operations in Ukraine) are not moving as fast as one expects as the Russian army is not targeting civilian infrastructure. It is only targeting the military infrastructure or the Ukrainian army. Only precise weapons are used for this purpose. Second (reason) is that the West is supporting Ukraine militarily, sending more and more troops there… which complicates the situation and the negotiation process.”
ON USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Commenting on the possibility of use of nuclear weapons by Russia, Babushkin said, “This is hopefully an unlikely scenario. Russia has got its nuclear doctrine, which says that nuclear weapons are deterrents and as a nuclear power, we realise it is our responsibility to maintain strategic stability. It is not our intention to come to this point. It is clear that there will be no winners in this situation.”

The Red Devils beaten 1-0 at Goodison Park, the Blues are unleashed with braces from Werner and Mount and forget the knockout with Real in the Champions League
Chelsea is a hurricane, Arsenal still stumbles in the run-up to the Champions League. Everton, on the other hand, beat United with Gordon (1-0) at Goodison Park. After Newcastle’s win over Wolverhampton early on Friday, the teams of Tuchel, Arteta and Rangnick took the field on Saturday afternoon. 6 goals for the Blues at Southampton (braces from Werner and Mount), while the Gunners against Brighton collect the second consecutive defeat (1-2), opening the doors to the possible escape of Tottenham. Conte, currently fourth on equal points with Lacazette and his teammates, has the opportunity to extend the match at 18.30 against Aston Villa. Watford remains nailed to the relegation zone, remedying another defeat at home against Leeds (0-3).
EVERTON-MAN. UNITED 1-0
–
Lots of ball possession, four shots in the mirror, but in the end Everton wins thanks to Gordon and Pickford. In the 1.30pm match, the Toffees conquer three key points for the fight-salvation, extending to +4 on Burnley, who, however, has played one game less. United came close to 1-0 twice in the first quarter of an hour with Rashford, but Pickford closed the door with two major interventions. At half an hour Lampard took the lead thanks to a shot from Gordon: Maguire’s deviation displaced De Gea and forced the Red Devils to chase for the rest of the match. The equalizer arrives only in the 93rd minute, on the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, who shoots on goal but is still stopped by the opposing goalkeeper.
ARSENAL-BRIGHTON 1-2
–
The Gunners have lost for the third time in their last four outings and now risk finding themselves chasing Antonio Conte’s Tottenham. At the Emirates Stadium Brighton scores one goal in each half, Arsenal wakes up, however, only in the final. The Seagulls pass thanks to Trossard and Mwepu, respectively on the net in the 28 ‘and 66’ minutes. The doubling action is pure show: tiki-taka in the penalty area and the ball for Caicedo, who crosses in tow and draws Mwepu to the limit. The Zambian kicks first intention and overtakes Ramsdale. Arsenal shortened in the 89th minute with a Eurogol from Odegaard’s distance, but it was too late to be able to recover and bring home a point.
SOUTHAMPTON 0-6 CHELSEA
–
The Saints’ home turns into… Tuchelandia and Chelsea make four in the first half hour. On the pitch without Jorginho and Lukaku (the first on the bench, the second out due to injury), the Blues are a goal machine: in the 3 ‘Werner hits the post with a shot from the edge, five minutes later Alonso unlocks it using a valuable assist by Mount. The English midfielder is on the day and signs the doubling with a shot from distance. 2-0 down, Southampton went haywire and began to mess around in defense: Prowse missed a back pass and kicked off the counterattack of Werner’s trio, then Havertz recovers the ball on the edge, dribbles three and achieves the 4-0. In the second half, Werner and Mount celebrate again, with two tap-ins with goalkeeper beaten. Immediate redemption after the 1-3 in the Champions League against Real Madrid.
WATFORD-LEEDS 0-3
–
Leeds climb to ten points from their last four games. Watford, on the other hand, records the record of consecutive home defeats (9) in the history of the Premier. The Vicarage Road race is one-way: Raphinha unlocks the match with a pearl from the edge at 21 ‘, in the second half also Rodrigo Moreno and Harrison stamp the card.

Good morning Nottingham Forest fans! Here are your latest Nottingham Forest headlines on the morning of Monday, April 11.
Steve Cooper's dilemma before Blues win
Boss Steve Cooper admitted he had a tough decision to make prior to Nottingham Forest's victory over Birmingham City.
The Welshman named an unchanged starting XI for the third game in a row. And he got the same end result, with the Reds making it nine points from nine since returning from the international break as they triumphed 2-0 at the City Ground.
Keinan Davis and Scott McKenna found the net against the Blues to make it a perfect week for Forest. The result made it 10 league games unbeaten and saw the club climb to third in the Championship table.

The 'incredible' signing who has boosted promotion chances
Nottingham Forest have been praised for the "incredible" signing of Keinan Davis as he scored his fifth goal of the season to help the Reds beat Birmingham City 2-0 on Saturday.
Davis scored after just five minutes as he concluded a powerful run down the left wing with a fiercely struck driven show past Neil Etheridge from a tight angle. The on-loan striker proved to be a constant thorn in Blues' side winning 50% of his aerial duels, 67% of his ground duels, had three shots on-target and a pass accuracy rate of 75%.
EFL pundit George Elek praised boss Steve Cooper for the signing of Davis with the on-loan striker's goals helping Forest mount a promotion push in the Championship. Speaking on the EFL on Quest highlights show, Elek said: “Keinan Davis has been an incredible signing this January. He is so direct and good with the ball at his feet. He can drive past players and he’s got a finishing touch as well.
"Better team"
Birmingham City midfielder Taylor Richards believes Blues were the better team against Nottingham Forest despite being beaten 2-0 at the City Ground.
Keinan Davis opened the scoring on five minutes as Forest dominated the opening half-hour. Blues grew into the game as time wore on but could not find a way past Brice Samba.
Scott McKenna headed a second for Forest past Connal Trueman - who replaced the injured Neil Etheridge on the hour-mark - to secure all three points. The victory lifts Steve Cooper's side to third in the Championship, six points behind second-placed Bournemouth.
Fans mock Blues claim
Nottingham Forest fans have hit back at Taylor Richards after the Birmingham City midfielder claimed the Reds had been second-best despite being Blues 2-0 at the City Ground.
Kienan Davis gave the hosts the lead on five minutes as Forest dominated the first half an hour against their Championship rivals. Kristian Pedersen, Scott Hogan, Nico Gordon and Richards all had chances to score but failed to find a way past Brice Samba as he kept consecutive clean sheets.
Scott McKenna ensured the three points would remain in the East Midlands with a powerful header past Connal Trueman - a replacement shot-stopper for Neil Etheridge who had to be carried off on a stretcher. Whilst Forest registered almost double Blues' number of shots (13-7), the visitors registered more shots on-target than Steve Cooper's side during the first half.

Attendees started to pack Lucky Lou’s Bar before the start of the Denton Taco Fest. Local taco vendors were ready for the anticipated crowd to try their tacos.
Jorge Landeros, co-owner of Wild Cactus Cantina & Grill and Pepitas Vegan Taqueria, saw the line reappear every so often as he helped his staff prepare and serve tacos during the festival. Each had a different flavor style — Wild Cactus served brisket birria taco, while Pepitas served an al pastor vegan taco filled with pineapple, onions and avocado salsa.
“It’s great to just be part of the community and bring people together again with our food,” Landeros said.
Other vendors had similar experiences as Wild Cactus and Pepitas throughout the day.
Like various Denton events, the Denton Taco Fest was returning after being canceled last year due to the pandemic. Just as in previous years, the festival’s vendor fees and a percentage of alcohol sales from Lucky Lou’s went toward the Denton Animal Support Foundation.
Since 2006, the nonprofit has worked toward its mission of saving more Denton-area animals. DASF Executive Director Kiara Hunter said the Denton Taco Fest and event vendors have long supported the foundation.
“They’ve been supporters of DASF for years,” Hunter said. “So, they do what they can to support the animal foundation.”
DASF had several dogs for adoption at the event and collected pet food for its emergency pet food pantry. In 2020, DASF partnered with the city’s Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center to set up a pet food pantry that has helped over 7,500 pets in need.
Mindy Arendt, the event coordinator for Lucky Lou’s, said organizers lowered the number of vendors involved for safety concerns and to also give a chance for vendors to showcase their businesses to the public.
“We weren’t 100 percent sure how it was going to go. So, we tried to play it safe with less vendors so that everybody had an opportunity, but it looks like people are showing up and having a good time,” Arendt said.
While the festival had vendors selling freshly made tacos, it also had salsa and spice vendors from the North Texas area, including Wicked Sauce Co. Lonnie Bravo, the owner of the Bedford-based hot sauce company, gave out samples of his products, with attendees giving feedback and making purchases. Bravo said his sauce started with a Carolina Reaper seed that has continued to yield new plants for four years.
“So, we grow the same produced seeds and peppers, and we regrow them every year,” Bravo said.
Arendt said she was satisfied with the early turnout and expected more attendees throughout the day.
“I love it,” Arendt said Sunday afternoon. “Denton is usually a late crowd, so it’s only an hour in and we’re full.”

Strong statements by Julián Gil about his son’s situation
After Marjorie de Sousa revealed a few days ago that her son Matías was aware of the legal problems between her and the minor’s father, Julián Gil, and that the little boy was emotionally healthy, the actor decided to talk about the situation .
Through a video on social networks, Gil released strong statements about his relationship with the youngest of his children.
“Matías sees me on the street and does not know that I am his father,” he revealed in the clip on his Instagram account.
“I thought a lot before doing it and I think it is worth doing. I will have to start making them (the videos) more often so that there is evidence, because, apparently, people have a very short memory, and it has to do with my son Matías, and with totally wrong expressions, as always , once again, from his mother (Marjorie de Sousa) ”, continued the model of Argentine origin, but who identifies as Puerto Rican.
“I hope that something like this never happens to anyone in his family, really, not for me, but for the children. In this case, Matías, who is losing the possibility of being with his father, which is me, “he added.
Gil also wanted to clarify the situation regarding parental authority, because it has been ensured that he renounced having it.
“I heard someone say that he had renounced parental rights, that is totally absurd and impossible; the inalienable parental authority in any part of the world”, he sentenced.
The dispute between Julián Gil and Marjorie de Sousa began in 2017 a few months after the minor was born and after they announced that they had separated. However, in June 2020 it was announced that the Venezuelan actress filed a lawsuit in Mexico demanding custody of the minor. Months later the actress won the lawsuit.
“Legally Julián Gil will not have access to his son, he will not be able to visit him and he will not be able to be part of the decisions about him, nor about school, education, doctor, country where he lives and much less where (the minor) can travel”, it was revealed after de Sousa won the lawsuit.
“Marjorie is in charge of deciding on the life of Matías, yes, Julián will have to continue paying child support”, reported last year.

Dalbec’s HR helps Red Sox avoid sweep, beat Yankees 4-3
NEW YORK (AP) — Bobby Dalbec hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the sixth inning and the Boston Red Sox avoided a season-opening sweep against their longtime rival with a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees on Sunday night.
Boston blew multi-run leads in the first two games of the series and did so again Sunday. This time, the Red Sox rallied back, with Dalbec connecting off reliever Clarke Schmidt (0-1) for his first of the season.
The Red Sox ended an eight-game regular-season skid against New York — a stretch that doesn’t include their victory in last year’s AL wild-card game. The rivals don’t play again until July 7.
Rookie right-hander Kutter Crawford (1-1) threw two of Boston’s 5 2/3 scoreless relief innings for his first big league win, and Jake Diekman pitched the ninth for his first save. J.D. Martinez had an RBI double, one of the team’s five hits.
New York’s Anthony Rizzo made it 3-all with a two-run single in the fourth, scoring Yankees newcomers Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jose Trevino after they opened the inning with their first hits in pinstripes.
Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton continued torrid starts to the season. Rizzo had a hit and walked twice, and Stanton had three hits. Both homered in each of New York’s first two games, and Stanton had homered in six straight games against the Red Sox, including the postseason.
Diekman struck out Aaron Judge on 11 pitches to start the ninth, then got Stanton and Joey Gallo swinging, too.
Dalbec hit 25 homers as a rookie last season but batted .240 with 156 strikeouts in 133 games. He improved dramatically in the second half, posting a .955 OPS and driving in 42 runs over 61 games.
Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery took Xander Bogaerts’ 103 mph grounder off his left knee in the first inning and fell to the ground screaming. He remained in the game but gave up Martinez’s RBI double the next at-bat and trailed 2-0 after the top of the first.
New York forced Tanner Houck to throw 31 pitches in the bottom of the inning but left the bases loaded. The first inning took 37 minutes, part of yet another sluggish Sox-Yanks game that took 3:40 to complete.
Yankees leadoff man Josh Donaldson struck out looking three times for the first time in his career. All three came against Houck.
New York stranded 11 runners Sunday and 25 over the three-game series.
Boston’s Christian Arroyo made his first big league start in right field and slid to take away a hit from Gleyber Torres in the seventh.
The Red Sox used six pitchers and New York needed five. The teams combined for 31 pitching changes in the three-game set.
TALL COMPANY
The Saint Peter’s men’s basketball team was honored prior to the game for its unexpected run to the Elite Eight. Senior forward KC Ndefo delivered a strike for the ceremonial first pitch.
STAY AROUND
The Red Sox signed right-handed reliever Garrett Whitlock to an $18.75 million, four-year deal Sunday covering 2023-26 that includes two club options and escalators that could increase the total to $44.5 million over six seasons.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: New 2B Trevor Story was out of the lineup and away from the team with flu-like symptoms. A COVID-19 test came back negative. … RHP Matt Barnes remained out with a tight back, but Boston thought he might be ready to pitch Monday.
Yankees: C Ben Rortvedt is expected to ramp up activity Monday as he works back from a strained right oblique muscle. There’s still no estimate on when he’ll return to game action.
UP NEXT

Allianz Nigeria has announced the introduction of a new family protection plan that will provide a payout to cover funeral expenses following the loss of a loved one. Briefing the media last week, the Managing Director of the underwriting firm, Mrs. Adeolu Adewumi-Zer, said the launch followed the securement of all requirements of the local insurance regulator, National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
The new product provides a financial cushion against unexpected funeral expenses and will offer flexible plans that cater to customers across all income classes. It is the outcome of months of extensive market research into current and prospective customer demands in the local market, especially in the wake of gradual recovery from the global disruption of Covid-19.
“The economic meltdown has highlighted the need for products that lighten the financial burden of middle and low-income families, following tragedy or loss. “The insurance product will offer protection to the entire family by covering the cost of funeral rites. Burial ceremonies form an important part of the Nigerian culture across ethnicities.
“Often, paying the last respect to loved ones that have passed on will impose a heavy financial burden upon the surviving relatives. The cover enables the family to give the departed a desired and befitting burial,” Adewumi-Zer said.
She further described the product as a simple one that enables the assured and their loved ones to enjoy peace of mind knowing their financial stability would not be threatened in the event of a loss.
According to her, a fantastic feature of this family-oriented plan is that it allows multiple payouts and the continuation of the policy after the demise of the policyholder. “The family can continue the premium payments and stay covered in the event of future loss.
The customer is free to choose the payment frequency (monthly, quarterly, annually, or single premium) of a lumped premium for all the covered family members. “This family product provides life cover for the ‘main life’ (policyholder), a spouse, children, parents, and even parents-in-law as the customer desires. Each ‘life’ has its individual and separate cover in this bundled plan, with the applicable sum assured payable on the death of anyone covered by this policy,” she noted.
Speaking in the same vein, the Chief Customer Officer, Allianz Nigeria, Patience Ugboajah, said: “At Allianz Nigeria, we are focused on creating simple intuitive products that solve real problems that are unique to our market. “We wanted to provide a very flexible product that is affordable to the everyday Nigerian, regardless of their income level.”
The funeral insurance is the second product the company has launched in 12 months. Last June, and in response to the market demand for travel insurance that includes Covid-19 risks, the firm introduced an enhanced product that will cover the cost of emergency medical expenses associated with Covid- 19 diagnosis whilst on a trip.
For holidaying customers and business executives alike, the plan will extend to cover accommodation costs related to Covid19 diagnosis during the insured trip.
“Our goal is to actively seek feedback on a rolling basis from our customers and the market at large and continuously use the feedback to create value for the customer and all stakeholders,” the chief executive, Adewumi- Zer, said.
“Ultimately, we aspire to transform the way we do business for our clients so that we can be sustainable and a longterm partner – a partner for life. We have a clear view of where we want to go, both in terms of market and product lines. So we are expanding and rebalancing as we go,” she added

KRAMATORSK (April 11): Ukraine said Sunday it had found more than 1,200 bodies in the Kyiv region, the scene of atrocities allegedly committed during the Russian occupation last month, as residents in the country’s east braced — or fled — ahead of an expected massive offensive.
Heavy bombardments hammered Ukraine through the weekend, adding to mounting casualties six weeks into Russia’s invasion of its neighbour.
Shelling claimed two lives in northeast Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, on Sunday morning, regional governor Oleg Sinegoubov said, the day after 10 civilians, including a child, died in bombing southeast of the city, according to authorities.
“The Russian army continues to wage war on civilians due to a lack of victories at the front,” Sinegoubov said on Telegram.
In Dnipro, a large industrial city of a million inhabitants, a rain of Russian missiles nearly destroyed the local airport, causing an uncertain number of casualties, local authorities said. It had already been struck on March 15.
President Volodymyr Zelensky again condemned atrocities against civilians, and after speaking with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said they had agreed “that all perpetrators of war crimes must be identified and punished”.
Ukraine’s prosecutor general Iryna Venediktova said the country was examining the alleged culpability of 500 leading Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, for thousands of war crimes.
And White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan pledged the US would “work with the international community to make sure there’s accountability” for what he called “mass atrocities”.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis called for an Easter ceasefire to pave the way for peace, denouncing a war where “defenceless civilians” suffered “heinous massacres and atrocious cruelty”.
’Ready to fight’
The death toll rose as well in the east of Ukraine, where a missile strike on Friday killed 57 people at a railway station in the city of Kramatorsk, according to a revised tally issued by Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of Donetsk region.
Residents in the east have been fleeing in their thousands as Ukraine prepares for “important battles” against Moscow’s forces, Zelensky said.
“We see the preparations for important battles, some people say decisive ones, in the east,” he said on Saturday at a press conference with visiting Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer.
“We are ready to fight and to look in parallel to end this war through diplomacy.”
Launching his own diplomatic initiative, Nehammer said he would meet Putin on Monday in a move his spokesman insisted was coordinated with “Berlin, Brussels and… Zelensky”. Austria is a member of the European Union, but not of Nato.
Nehammer will be the first European leader to visit the Kremlin since the invasion began on February 24.
The UN on Sunday said 4,232 civilian casualties had been recorded in Ukraine to date, with 1,793 killed and 2,439 injured.
Ukraine’s prosecutor Venediktova said 1,222 bodies had been found in the region around Kyiv alone so far.
At least two corpses were found inside a manhole at a petrol station on a motorway outside Kyiv on Sunday, an AFP reporter saw.
The bodies appeared to be wearing a mix of civilian and military clothing.
A distraught woman peered into the manhole before breaking down, clawing at the earth and wailing, “My son, my son”.
Dire economic outlook
The war is taking a heavy toll on the region’s economy as well. The World Bank on Sunday issued a dire forecast, saying Ukraine’s economy would collapse by 45.1 per cent this year — a much bleaker outlook than it predicted even a month ago — while Russia would see an 11.2 per cent decline in GDP.
Ukraine on Sunday blamed Kremlin propaganda, with the complicity of the Russian media, for laying the groundwork for the bloody campaign.
“For many years, Russian political elites and propaganda have been inciting hatred, dehumanising Ukrainians, nurturing Russian superiority and laying ground for these atrocities,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted on Sunday.
But in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, Kuleba said he remained open to negotiating with the Russians.
“If sitting down with the Russians will help me to prevent at least one massacre like in Bucha, or at least another attack like in Kramatorsk, I have to take that opportunity,” he said.
Bucha — where authorities say hundreds were killed, some with their hands bound — has become a byword for the brutality allegedly inflicted under Russian occupation.
‘Rockets keep flying’
The comments came on the heels of a surprise visit to Kyiv on Saturday by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Hailing the country’s response to the Russian invasion, Johnson offered Ukraine armoured vehicles and anti-ship missiles, crucial to halting the Russian naval siege of Black Sea ports, to help ensure that the country will “never be invaded again”.
In a bid to shore up international resolve against Moscow, US President Joe Biden is to hold virtual talks on Monday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, just weeks after saying India had been “shaky” in its response to the invasion.
A US spokeswoman said the two leaders would consult on ways to offset the “destabilising impact (of the war) on global food supply and commodity markets”.
At the same time, EU foreign ministers are to meet Monday to discuss a sixth round of sanctions, even as divisions over a ban on Russia gas and oil imports threaten to blunt their impact.
In further Russian strikes, the airport in Dnipro between central and eastern Ukraine, was hit hard.
An AFP reporter saw black smoke in the sky above the facility, but a plane also took off later on Sunday, suggesting its runway was still functioning.
‘New normal’
As Russian forces regroup in the east and south of Ukraine, local officials are urging residents to flee before it is too late.
Lugansk governor Sergiy Gaiday said in a new video that civilians were afraid to flee the region after the tragedy in Kramatorsk.
We evacuated “2,700-2,500 people per day, but now there are fewer and fewer,” he said.
“I’m sure that 20-25 per cent” of the region’s population is still there, he added.
“Unfortunately, sometimes we just beg (them) to come out of hiding because we know what comes next…” Russian forces, he said, “will destroy everything in their path”.
A Russian defence ministry statement, meanwhile, said the Kyiv authorities and their western allies were continuing to stage “monstrous and merciless” provocations and murder civilians in the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic in the southeast. — AFP
