KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A new ministry in Alcoa is fighting food insecurity.
The Longer Table opened about a month ago in Blount County at First Baptist Alcoa. Each week, the ministry grows in volunteers and people served.
The first week they had 15 people and this past Friday they had over 100.
However, before The Longer Table opened its doors, there were no free, local meals or food pantries open Friday through Sunday. It made for a three day stretch without food for families experiencing food insecurity.
The man who started The Longer Table, Tom Williamson knows that three day stretch of hunger all too well.
He lived through it three years ago.
Tom said him and his daughter Adamina became homeless purely by accident.
He was working as a security guard in Las Vegas, on October 1, 2017. It was the day he lived through the largest mass shooting in US history. 58 people were killed and nearly 500 were injured. That was the day Tom decided he didn't want to raise his daughter in Las Vegas.
They started traveling to start somewhere new.
"We were driving through Alcoa, and my car literally caught on fire and burned up and left us stranded here. It was just me and my daughter," Tom said. "Then, while we were stranded here, the apartment that we were living in, in Las Vegas had actually caught on fire and was destroyed."
Within a matter of days, the Williamsons lost everything.
"It could happen to anybody at any time," Tom said.
While Tom and Adamina found themselves in a new situation, they also discovered the resources available to people experiencing homelessness.
The Williamsons were able to get plugged in with Family Promise in Blount County.
"Family Promise is the program that we went through to get out of homelessness. Both me and my daughter. Family Promise really helped us out a lot," Tom said.
He and his daughter were also able to find free hot meals during every day of the work week; however, after Thursday night dinner they didn't know where their next meal was coming from.
"There's several times that we've had to go from Thursday night's meal all the way until Monday night's meal without having eaten anything," Tom said.
There were no free meals or food pantries open from Friday to Sunday.
As a father, Tom did everything he could to provide for his little one. The two of -them have been a pair since the day 10-year-old Adamina was born.
"I was raised with no mom in my life. My dad has been taking care of me since the day I was born," Adamina said.
Through Family Promise and Tom's skills as a mechanic, he and Adamina were able to get out of homelessness.
"There were some hard times, but this is a good time now," Adamina said.
Most people wouldn't turn back, but Tom was determined to be the change he wanted to see.
"I wanted to start The Longer Table. I wanted to make sure the difference with my ministry was that we also have the pantry," Tom said. "So, we cook them a nice home cooked hot meal every Friday, and then we send them with food to get through the rest of the week."
Tom said it's a resource he wish they had when they were experiencing homelessness. He also thinks the ministry is helpful for Adamina to understand the importance of lifting others up.
"I think it's teaching her to care about other people more than yourself," Tom said. "She looks forward to it. You know, she, she's in here with me all day cooking. She's one of my servers."
Adamina said she admires her dad for the work he's done to make Blount County a better place.
"He's my role model. He taught me so many things my entire life. And I can't believe he's done this all on his own," Adamina said.
Tom said the name ' The Longer Table' is meant to be all-inclusive. It's meant to be an invitation to everyone.
"It's our responsibility as Christians as well as human beings to be welcoming and accommodating to people of all different circumstances," Tom said. "And I called it The Longer Table because I feel that there's a lot of people in society that build a taller fence. And I would rather see people build a longer table."
The Longer Table is open every Friday night at First Baptist Church of Alcoa from 6-8 p.m. People can also collect fresh food from the food pantry to stock up for the weekend.

Dr (Col) Anil Kakkar, an ENT consultant at Holy Angels Hospital in Delhi’s Vasant Vihar, lives with Parkinson’s Disease. When his condition could not be managed optimally with medicines, he decided to undergo a surgical intervention called deep brain stimulation last year.
Deep brain stimulation or DBS is a surgical procedure to implant a device in the brain that sends electrical pulses to block some messages that cause involuntary movements and improve communication between the brain cells to reduce other symptoms.
Since the procedure was developed in 1991, over 175,000 people have had a DBS surgery that has a success rate of 97 per cent. In India, about 500 DBS surgeries happen annually in the metros.
There are 10 million people living with the disorder of the central nervous system that affects the movements, results in stiffness of muscles, and involuntary movements including tremors across the world, with 10 per cent of the total global burden being in India. The incidence has been rising with more people living longer.
On the occasion of World Parkinson’s Day, Dr Kakkar writes about his experience going into the DBS surgery and how it changed his quality of life:
June 16, 2021, was one of the longest days of my life—longer than even the summer solstice that falls on June 21—as I awaited my surgery. The first step was a CT scan to determine exactly where the electrodes were to be placed in my brain with millimetres of precision. Immediately after, I was wheeled into the operation theatre. In the pre-operative room, I was explained that I would be 100 per cent alert and fully awake during the surgery—sedation could change the firing patterns of the cells in the brain and make the mapping more difficult.
After everyone ensured that the area was sterile, the neurosurgeon loudly said, “Don’t worry Dr Kakkar” and in an equally loud voice, I replied: “why should I be worried? If something goes wrong, it’s your reputation that will be affected, so you should be worried.” I heard loud laughs from the entire OT staff. But there was a prayer on my lip.
With DBS, I could see a ray of light at the end of a long tunnel. A hope to improve the quality of my life and keep my dignity and self-respect. A hope to live my life not depending on others.
They applied local anaesthesia to my scalp—the only part that could feel any pain. Then they cut the skin and started drilling holes into my skull. I could hear the sound and feel a funny sensation. I could hear the surgeon asking the OT matron to give him bipolar diathermy or mosquito forceps. I felt like a part of the surgical team. I kept looking at the clock, which seemed to have stopped. But I realised it was just that every minute felt like an hour.
After the electrodes were placed, the neurologist came to check the movements in my hands and feet. Once he said everything was good, the same thing was done on the other side of the brain. After the implants were placed, another CT was done to rule out bleeding inside the brain. The rest, including creating a tunnel and placing the device connected to the electrodes under the left collar bone, was a mystery to me. I woke up in the ICU with my wife and son standing next to me.
I thanked God that it was over.
I am glad to have taken the decision to go for DBS as it allowed me to return to the simplest things in life like playing golf and driving. My complications with the drug therapy—such on and off time fluctuations (good and poor control of symptoms as the medicine takes effect and starts to wear off), dyskinesia or abnormal and involuntary body movements—have totally gone now. I am taking one-tenth of the medicines as I was before DBS surgery. My tremors and stiffness are non-existent. And, routine activities like bathing or getting dressed have become easier.
I was motivated to fight the disease like a boxer is willing to face punches in the ring. I do not believe in accepting the definition of life from others, I believe in defining it for myself.
Parkinson’s is a unique disease where your condition is directly related to physical activity. The importance of exercise is even more post-DBS surgery. Running away from any problem will only increase the distance from the solution. Face it and finish.

NEW ORLEANS — Klay Thompson threw an emphatic fist bump after sinking his seventh 3-pointer Sunday night in the fourth quarter before he checked out of the game for the final time.
Thompson on Sunday put to rest any doubt of whether he would be able to return to his previous form after overcoming two serious injuries that sidelined him for more than two years as he continues to author one of most remarkable redemption stories the league has ever witnessed.
Thompson scored 11 consecutive points for Golden State in the fourth quarter en route to the Warriors’ 128-107 win over the middling Pelicans, which officially locked them in as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
In all, Thompson finished with a season-high 41 points, which bumped his season average up to 20 points per game. It was his third consecutive game he recorded at least 30 points, marking the fourth time in his career he accomplished this feat.
So let it be known, Thompson is back and his tale is far from over.
The Warriors will play the fifth-place Denver Nuggets in the first round, which is scheduled to begin April 17.
The Warriors tied for the third-best record in the league (53-29). Only Western conference foes the Memphis Grizzlies (56-26) and Phoenix Suns (64-17) had better records.
And it’s noteworthy that Golden State accomplished this with their dynastic trio of Stephen Curry, Thompson and Dryamond Green playing only 11 minutes together the entire season.
The season has been filled with mountainous highs and deep lows for both the team and individual players.
Thompson has been under the spotlight for the last few months, and it hasn’t always been easy for him as he struggled at times with his shot selection and being consistent. But when he was on his game, Thompson looked like his former self, effortlessly draining his signature quick-release 3-pointers like it was nobody’s business.
And if Sunday night was any indication, Thompson is finding his rhythm just in time for the playoffs.
Other bright spots of the season include Jordan Poole’s emergence as a formidable offensive weapon for the Warriors and fearless playmaker, and Jonathan Kuminga’s growth on both ends of the court and proved himself to be an aggressive rim attacker.
And that’s not to mention Curry broke the all-time record for 3-pointers earlier this year and dropped 50 points in a November game, and Kevon Looney accomplished his goal of playing in all 82 games.
In fact, there’s been so many noteworthy moments that coach Steve Kerr couldn’t choose just one.
The Warriors are riding a five-game win streak after struggling through an obscure March with jumbled results.
Kerr’s mind is on the road ahead.
“What’s at the forefront for me is we still have work to do,” he said. “It’s been a really good season. I mean, if we had said before the season starts… we [would] win 52, 53 games, I think everybody would have taken it. But it’s been a strange route to get here. The last six weeks had been uneven. We just have not been able to get everybody healthy at the right time or at any time, but we still have that opportunity.”

What is the healthiest way to walk? We ask an expert
Just because many of us have been walking for most of our lives doesn’t mean we’re doing it in the best way. So what is the healthiest way to walk? I spoke to Annabel Streets, author of 52 Ways to Walk: The Surprising Science of Walking for Wellness and Joy, One Week at a Time.
There are many areas of health – mental health, emotional health, gut health, etc. Can walking really help them all?
I think so! The air you want to walk in should be full of negative ions, which happens where water is crashing. Waterfalls are brilliant. One study compared different groups of care workers. One group walked near waterfalls, one stayed inside, and another walked in the mountains. The waterfall group had far less psychological distress, improved lung capacity and much higher levels of an antibody called secretory immunoglobulin, which is found in the mucosal lining of our mouth and nose, and in our gut.
Alas, there are no waterfalls where I live in London.
Head to a park and find a water fountain. It’s the best we’ve got.
What’s the best time to walk?
That depends. If you’re a poor sleeper, you need to walk for at least 10 minutes within an hour of waking. It’s no good being by a window – you need maximum light in the back of your eyes telling your body to sleep again in 15 hours. A walk in the late afternoon also gives your body a reminder, ideally in a forest. One of the studies I looked at found that for people who walked in a pine forest, the effect was similar to taking a sleeping pill. If you’re walking for mood, the science says get out early too.
Sign up to our Inside Saturday newsletter for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the magazine’s biggest features, as well as a curated list of our weekly highlights.
But I hate mornings!
Night walks can be good. Especially if there’s a full moon. The average person sleeps 20 minutes less on a full moon. Our ancestors would have used the moonlight as an extended day – we’re designed to be out in it.
I’m guessing my usual walk through congested streets is not the healthiest.
Afraid not.
I do see some good buildings though.
If you’re doing that, I always tell people to look out for fractals.
Fractals?
A fractal is a repeating pattern, often found in nature and absolutely everywhere in architecture. When we look at a fractal, we instinctively relax – our brain produces feelgood alpha waves.
That sounds like an improvement on just reading emails.
I’d urge you not to do that – you could get hit by a car! And you can’t hear the birdsong. A study found that people who lived in cities had their mood lifted by birdsong. Also, what happens to your body when you look out at the horizon? Your stress level drops, the cortisol falls. It’s why we love views.
You talking about birdsong gave me a flashback. The nightclubs would kick out at 4am, but it would be a little while until the first tube, so my friends and I would walk in the direction of home until we could get on a train. It was an almost religious experience. The city’s empty and the sun’s coming up, you can hear the birds, see the buildings, feel their history …
Wow, that sounds like a good reason to go clubbing. “I’ve gone clubbing, but only for the walk home.”

OUR POSITION: Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of failing to justly consider Supreme Court candidates on their merits.
We can’t be surprised, but we can be disappointed, after Florida Sen. Rick Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio voted against confirmation last week for Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Not only was Jackson overwhelmingly qualified, but she was a Floridian for gosh sakes. What a proud moment for the state and the nation to make her the first female Black Supreme Court justice.
The choosing of SCOTUS justices the past few years has turned into gutter politics. It has become a matter of whichever party was not involved in choosing the candidate (read that whichever party was not sitting in the White House) smearing the would-be justice with personal attacks and off-the-wall accusations that sometimes have no merit. These tactics are the only way those voting against the confirmation can look in the mirror and justify their actions.
The nation got a hint of what was to come way back in 1987 when Democrats blocked Robert Bork.
But that debacle was an anomaly at the time when good sense usually prevailed and justices were normally approved in a bipartisan manner.
Clarence Thomas faced a challenging fight to get on the court, but it was not petty politics and more about sexual misconduct accusations that threatened his approval.
Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Chief Justice John Roberts all breezed through the nominating process with a good majority of Congress voting in their favor.
The bad feelings that control today’s rancor over SCOTUS appointments can look to 2016 when Scalia died for a tipping point.
Mitch McConnell, Senate majority leader at the time, made it clear he would not allow a vote on a new justice while President Obama was in office and had the power to nominate a successor. That delayed the vote for 11 months, until Donald Trump was elected and was able to name justices the GOP approved of — in swift order we might add.
Perhaps, if the shoe had been on the other foot, Democrats would have held the nomination hostage until the next election also.
The most recent nomination of Jackson brought ridiculous charges that she had been lenient on sentencing of pedophiles. It was nothing more than a smear tactic and a campaign Republicans embraced and could even use in the mid-term elections. A close look would confirm that almost all of Jackson’s sentencing of pedophiles falls within guidelines followed by conservative judges as well.
Going back to our two state senators, Rubio’s excuse was broad and undefined.
“I do not support nominees who believe the job of the Supreme Court is to make policy rather than apply the Constitution as written,” he said.
Scott, our former governor, played the sex offender card for his reason not to endorse Jackson. He charged she had a pattern of being weak on sex offenders. Again, there was no evidence she was any more lenient, given guidelines for such cases, or easier on sex offenders than any other judge.
Unfortunately we don’t see these political games with Supreme Court nominees stopping any time soon. The only pause will be because most all the justices now appear to be healthy and young enough to be around for a few more years.
Perhaps, depending on future elections and turnover in Congress, some day we can return to judging candidates on their talent and not which political party nominates them.

This week India found its 13th unicorn of 2022, marking one of the country’s quickest rates of unicorn formation to date.
India had minted five unicorns at this point last year; between October and December, it minted 15. For the entire year of 2021, India gained 44 new unicorns to its ranks, far outnumbering the 37 enterprises that reached the $1-billion valuation mark in the preceding decade combined.
Last year’s unicorn boom coincided with Beijing’s assault on Chinese internet businesses, which frightened investors and led them to seek alternate investments.
At the same time, as the coronavirus pandemic compelled Indian customers to turn to internet businesses for their daily needs tech companies in the country grew dramatically.
The rapid development of unicorns this year—roughly one per week—indicates that the investment boom in 2021 wasn’t a fluke and that foreign investors who flocked to India last year are still interested in the country’s prospects, despite the global market’s volatility.
Here is the list of India’s Unicorns since January 2022:
However, according to HDFC Securities, funding activities have created 42 unicorns last year and in 2022, this would help create over 100 unicorns in India. In terms of the total number of unicorns, the country is rated third across the globe.
“The unicorn wave in India is still going strong: one unicorn has been added every five days within the first two months of 2022, and India is expected to have 100+ new unicorns in 2022."
In a report, HDFC Securities said: “The unicorn wave in India is still going strong: one unicorn has been added every five days within the first two months of 2022, and India is expected to have 100+ new unicorns in 2022."
“The optimism of investing in the Indian internet ecosystem can be linked to the immense growth potential and problem solving or disruptive nature of startups," it added.
In addition, India had record fund inflows of $66 billion across 2.1K deals in 2021, according to the report. It also noted that the enormous number of deals and high transaction values paved the way for India’s unicorn wave, with companies in the e-commerce, fintech and edtech sectors achieving unicorn status amid innovative and scalable business potential.
Fintech and e-commerce account for 50% of total startup funding, while health tech, media-tech, food tech, and edtech combined accounted for 35% of the total money invested, according to the report.
In a report, HDFC Securities said: “The unicorn wave in India is still going strong: one unicorn has been added every five days within the first two months of 2022, and India is expected to have 100+ new unicorns in 2022."

India had minted five unicorns at this point last year; between October and December, it minted 15. For the entire year of 2021, India gained 44 new unicorns to its ranks, far outnumbering the 37 enterprises that reached the $1-billion valuation mark in the preceding decade combined.
Last year’s unicorn boom coincided with Beijing’s assault on Chinese internet businesses, which frightened investors and led them to seek alternate investments.
At the same time, as the coronavirus pandemic compelled Indian customers to turn to internet businesses for their daily needs tech companies in the country grew dramatically.
The rapid development of unicorns this year—roughly one per week—indicates that the investment boom in 2021 wasn’t a fluke and that foreign investors who flocked to India last year are still interested in the country’s prospects, despite the global market’s volatility.
Here is the list of India’s Unicorns since January 2022:
- Fractal: SaaS – Analytics
- LEAD School: Edtech
- DarwinBox: SaaS – HR
- DealShare: E-Commerce - Social Commerce
- Polygon: Web3 Infrastructure – Dapps
- ElasticRun: Logistics Services
- LivSpace: Interior Design - Modular Kitchens & Home Products
- XpressBees Logistics: Logistics Services
- Uniphore Software Systems: SaaS - Conversational Service Automation
- Hasura: SaaS - Programming Tools
- CredAvenue: Marketplace – Lending
- Amagi Media Labs: SaaS - Local Ads Targeting
- Oxyzo: Fintech - Marketplace - SME Lending
However, according to HDFC Securities, funding activities have created 42 unicorns last year and in 2022, this would help create over 100 unicorns in India. In terms of the total number of unicorns, the country is rated third across the globe.

Oladipo scores 40 for Heat in loss to Magic
DICK SCANLON Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Most of the Miami Heat didn't show up for Sunday night for the season finale against the Orlando Magic.
Former Indiana Hoosiers and Pacers star Victor Oladipo did, scoring 40 points in what turned into a 3-point shooting contest in a 125-111 loss to the Magic.
Mo Bamba and R.J. Hampton each scored 21 points for the Magic, who matched a franchise record by hitting 23 long-range shots in 58 attempts.
Miami made 19 of 50 3s in seeing its seven-game win streak end in the season finale. The Heat wrapped up the top seed in the Eastern Conference on Thursday night and rested several players.
“We'll take the next couple days just to recover and guys can take care of their bodies, and then we'll get back to work," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. ”That's the whole point of the regular season. You don't need to live in fear or panic. We've had six months to prepare for the playoffs, and whoever we're going to play in that first round, we likely will have played them three or four times.
“We'll ramp it up in the middle of the week and then when we finally get the nod of who we'll be playing, we'll dial it up to the details of our specific opponent.”
Oladipo, playing in only his eighth game of the season after recovering from surgery on his right quad 11 months ago, scored 25 points in the first half.
“I'm still in the rehab process,” said Oladipo, who also had 10 rebounds and seven assists. “It just felt good to go out there and be myself and try to do what I have to do to help us win. When my name is called I have to be ready. But right now I feel like I'm a position to have what I need physically.”
Javonte Smart scored 20 points for the Heat. Haywood Highsmith added 16 points and five rebounds in his first Miami start.
Markelle Fultz was one of seven Magic players in double figures with 10 points and a career-high 15 assists.
Orlando finished with the worst record (22-60) in the Eastern Conference.
“If you judge it off wins and losses, that's one thing,” first-year coach Jamahl Mosley said.
TIP-INS
Heat: C Bam Adebayo was placed in the health and safety protocol, which will keep him away from the team until at least Friday. ... G Tyler Herro (knee), F Jimmy Butler (rest) and G Kyle Lowry (rest) did not play. ... G Mychal Mulder and F Haywood Highsmith started for the first time for Miami. .. The game completed Miami’s 34th regular season in the NBA and Orlando’s 33rd. The Heat lead the series 73-57.
Magic: F Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist), F Franz Wagner (ankle), G Cole Anthony (toe) and G Jalen Suggs (ankle) did not play. ... F Admiral Schofield was fined $20,000 and C Robin Lopez was fined $15,000 by the NBA for their roles in an on-court altercation at Charlotte on Thursday. . . . The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation presented a gift of $1.05 million to 17 Central Florida non-profit organizations at halftime.

A couple have slammed a 20-hour wait for an ambulance which left it too late for a crucial scan to diagnose the problem.
Shanice Robertson, 30, had a fit and collapsed in husband Scott’s arms.
They waited 20 hours for the ambulance but by the time mum-of-two Shanice arrived at hospital, medics said it was too late for a scan to reveal what caused it.
Now she has had to surrender her driving licence because the health emergency went undiagnosed.
Scott, 29, branded the waiting time “inexcusable.”
He told how his wife had “passed out in my arms and started fitting and shaking.”
He added “I managed to lie her down on the floor. I called for an ambulance at 3.16pm. My wife had never had seizures before and it lasted about 20 seconds.”
North Lanarkshire Council worker Scott said he had to wait in a queue before he was even able to get connected on March 13 but the call handler told him she would send help straight away.
He added: “She asked me another couple of questions about Covid and said she had updated the system.
“She then said there was no one available at this time to come out.
“I thought we would maybe wait an hour but after two hours passed, I called back and they said they were still arranging help but that there was still no one available.”
The couple, of Greengairs, near Airdrie, had both been diagnosed with Covid-19 days before the collapse.
Scott said: “The ambulance service called me back at 8pm and I said I was really worried about her because she had slept since the seizure and it was very unusual for her to sleep five hours during the day.
"She also seemed very short of breath. But they just said they were sending help. They told us not to go to A&E because we had Covid.
“An ambulance arrived at 11.15am on March 14 – 20 hours after I had first called.
“She was taken to the medical receiving unit at University Hospital Monklands and had bloods taken and a CT scan but they asked her why she had waited so long to go to hospital.
“They said she should have been there within the hour. Nothing showed up on the CT scan because it was too long since it happened.
“Doctors couldn’t believe how long we had waited for an ambulance.”
Shanice was kept in overnight and allowed home the next day.
Scottish Labour health spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said: “This is yet more evidence our ambulance service is in need of significant additional resources.
“The resources given by the Scottish Government are for historic shortages – they haven’t taken account of pressure on services caused by the pandemic.
“People should not have to be waiting for 20 hours for an ambulance.”
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman apologised and said: “At the time of the incident, we were at our highest level of escalation in Lanarkshire due to high demand, coupled with lengthy hospital turnaround times and staff absences as a result of Covid-19.”

Macron heads to blue-collar France in search of more votes
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
PARIS, April 11 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron will take his hunt for extra votes to the industrial heartlands of northern France on Monday, a blue-collar stronghold of his far-right rival Marine Le Pen who he will face in an April 24 presidential runoff vote.
Macron and Le Pen came out on top in Sunday's first-round vote, setting up a repeat of the 2017 duel pitting a pro-European economic liberal against a euro-sceptic nationalist. read more
Polls predict a close-fought second round with one survey projecting Macron will win with just 51% of the vote and 49% for Le Pen. The gap is so tight that victory either way is within the margin of error.

"Let's make no mistake, nothing has been decided yet," Macron told his cheering supporters after partial results showed him qualifying for the runoff.
He took aim at his far-right rival over the financing of her populist economic agenda that would see the retirement age cut to 60 for those who start work before 20, income tax scrapped for the under-30s and VAT on energy reduced to 5.5% from 20%.
Speaking of his own manifesto, Macron said: "Do you want a France that speaks of full employment and is serious about financing its welfare state, its pensioners, its schools, hospitals and public services?"
Macron supporters and some of his campaign insiders have said he must now focus on wooing the left. read more
Le Pen won 33% of the votes in the northern Hauts-de-France region. Left-wing candidates won a combined 27-28% of the vote in the area. How the left's votes are redistributed nationally will be a key factor in the second-round vote's outcome.
Le Pen has patiently detoxified the image of her far-right party and brought it closer to the mainstream at a time France has also lurched to the right in the wake of Islamist attacks. Even so, her softer, less combative manner belies a hardline anti-immigrant programme.
But it has been her focus on the cost-of-living issues troubling millions that has helped her tap into a widespread discontent towards rulers as she has toured towns and villages across France.
She said voters were making a choice between two opposite visions of France: "one of division, injustice and disorder imposed by Emmanuel Macron for the benefit of a few, the other a rallying together of French people around social justice and protection."
The yield on French 5- and 10-year government bonds hit multi-year highs ahead of the first round as the race tightened.
Morgan Stanley said in a briefing note that it expected spreads between French and German 10-year bonds to "hover close to the current level until the outcome of the second round".

Facing Challenges: Panama Ship Registry Adapts to COVID-19 Era
The COVID-19 pandemic brought important challenges to the Panama Ship Registry. “But like the Chinese ideogram for ‘crisis’, composed by two characters: ‘danger’ and ‘opportunity’, it taught us to take up the challenge and speed up the modernization process for continuing giving a service of excellence,” explains Rafael Cigarruista, Panama Maritime Authority’s director general of merchant marine and head of the Ship Registry. “We transformed the challenges into the strengths of our organization today,” he adds.
Issuance of most of the Registry's documents is currently done electronically, reducing both the client's management time and use of paper, and this on-going project will continue until achieving the complete digitalization of all documents. Meanwhile, since 2020, QR codes are used for Navigation Patents and Radio Licenses, allowing verification in real time, and all
certificates and authorizations issued through the E-Segumar platform carry QR codes.
This methodology was incorporated during the pandemic to ensure that the Registry’s users would not have problems when presenting their documents upon arrival at different ports.
The Fleet Control and Monitoring Sections were created within the Department of Navigation and Maritime Safety, in charge of the analysis and due diligence process for vessels wishing to be flagged in Panama. It is also in charge of monitoring the positioning of Panamanian fleet vessels by LRIT, where there is a 90 percent compliance rate. The Registry also created the Implementation, Control and Enforcement of International Measures section in the Resolutions and Consultations department, which reviews the measures that are adopted internationally to apply them to Panama’s maritime fleet and Administration.
Panama’s Ship Registry is a firm believer in decarbonization and has had an incentive program for efficient and less polluting ships since 2008. It added a special Eco Ship and New Construction incentive in 2014. Panama supports the creation of the decarbonization Research and Development Fund, to be managed by the International Maritime Research and Development Board (IMRB) with IMO’s supervision, to accelerate the development of new technologies in the maritime industry.
In 2020, the Panamanian flag achieved 100 percent compliance in certificates’ issuance and for reporting to the GISIS platform on the fuel consumption of its fleet.
Last November, during COP26, Panama - which is one of the world’s three carbon negative countries - signed the Declaration of Zero Emissions in the Maritime Industry by 2050 and pledged to work with the IMO for the decarbonization’s 2030 and 2040 targets. The Registry is also reviewing eventual amendments to MARPOL Annex VI to introduce Incentives for ships compliant with design, type of fuel used, and operational measures to reduce polluting emissions.
The human factor, seafarers’ competence, will always play an important role. According to international data, 90 percent of incidents and accidents have variables related to the human factor, which stresses the importance of better trained personnel. New technologies are part of the international maritime industry of today and may lay ground for possible future changes in the operation of ships.
“As an IMO member and a Maritime Administration, we value, support and must ensure the seafarers’ continuous education and training to guarantee jobs for the ‘Key Workers’ of the industry,” says Cigarruista.
To achieve greater recognition of the qualifications issued by the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP), Panama has signed bilateral agreements with different maritime administrations, allowing Panamanian seafarers to provide service on board ships registered under the flag of both countries, promoting national labor and strengthening ties of technical cooperation between governments.
Currently, the Registry is studying the inclusion of Annual Remote Safety Inspections as part of the procedures of the Directorate General of Merchant Marine. This requires creating a legal framework to start with a Remote ASI Inspections Program, with the purpose of complying with the obligation to inspect 100 percent of its fleet. Meanwhile some ROs have already been authorized to perform audits and some inspections remotely.
The Directorate General of Merchant Marine has established the Remote Inspections Policies for Recognized Organizations and Recognized Protection Organizations that wish to perform remote audits on a regular basis. These audits must be carried out under previous evaluation and compliance with the requirements of remote inspection techniques. Such audits should provide the same results as an on-site inspection.
The General Directorate of Merchant Marine has ISO 9001:2015 Certification and a program of internal audits, including the central office in Panama, the International Technical Offices of Segumar and the inspectorates at the national level. It also maintains a program of audits for the Recognized Organizations (RO) and Recognized Protection Organizations (RPO) authorized by its administration, based on the national regulations in force and the RO Code. In 2021, nine face-to-face audits were conducted with companies located in Panama, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates.
“We are preparing for our audit before the International Maritime Organization, from which we expect the best results,” adds the director of Panama Ship Registry.
Panama's Ship Registry ended 2021 with a total of 8,558 vessels and 236M GT Tons, an increase of 2.33 percent over the previous year's 230.5M GT, according to IHS Markit. Panama’s merchant marine represents 15 percent of the world's fleet, according to Clarksons Research.
This year is and will be a year of technological transformation for the Panamanian Registry to advance its modernization process. It is investing in new platforms for service and supervision of the fleet, maritime investigations, LRIT, risk analysis, ship detentions and flagging issues to provide better service to customers.
Competition among registries is fierce and Panama, the world’s largest register, has taken actions to keep its competitiveness, including:
- Renewal of the agreement between the Government of the Republic of Panama and the Government of the People's Republic of China on Maritime Transportation. The five-year agreement strengthens trade relations and the commitment of the Registry of Ships with its users entering Chinese ports. It also provides a series of advantages for shipowners who use the Panamanian flag on their vessels.
- A significant investment has been made in technology since the beginning of this Administration, with the new platform of the Maritime Processing System and Electronic Vessel Registry (REN), the inclusion of new modules in the E-Segumar platform and the validation of electronic certificates through QR codes.
- Panama Maritime Authority has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Class NK on Cybersecurity. This will help to better understand the cyber threats to which ships are exposed and implement more effective measures to control such risks.
- Panama is a member of the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network, BIMCO, Intercargo, Intertanko and the International Association of Drilling Contractors.

While they’ve still been making headlines every day, matriarch Kris Jenner has let the cameras roll once more so us plebs can gain access to the Kardashian-Jenner-Webster-West family in The Kardashians. Streaming from April 14 on Disney+, we’ve rounded up the storylines that we want to see from our favourite chaotic family in their new chapters.
Kylie’s New Baby Name
First thing’s first, what is the damned name of the latest member of the Kar-Jenner-Webster (Karjenweb?) fam? Originally announced as Wolf Webster, the billionaire baby’s parents, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have since said via an IG story that they’re changing his name as they “just really didn’t feel like it was him”.
Was this all because of Tammy Hembrow’s jokes about her son’s name being Wolf? Did Kylie and Travis realise they wanted a weather-adjacent name rather than a mammal? Let’s hope The Kardashians clears it up. Also, apparently more motherhood content is said to be coming so get keen to see how the sisters juggle it all.
Money Matters
Unlike other iterations of the Kardashian-aligned series, The Kardashians will be giving fans more of a glimpse into their biz bags and the successful women holding them. From Kylie Swim to Skims, mom-ager Kris wants audiences to see just what goes into running a multi-billion (yes, billion) dollar brand. I don’t know about you but I’m keen to see how the Kar-Jenners get that bag and keep coming up with ways to make more moolah.
Kim and Pete’s Relationship
If Kim K broke the internet with her 2014 Paper magazine cover, then her new relationship with SNL comedian Pete Davidson is blowing it up. First linked together after Kimmy’s SNL hosting gig back in October last year, the couple has since gone IG official and her new beau has even been beefing online with her ex-husband Ye (FKA Kanye West). Will we get more Pete Davidson content from The Kardashians? Will thirsty Pete TikTok accounts finally have some fresh clips to make edits from? We bloody hope so.
THE Divorce
Speaking of Ye, how much of an insight will we get into the former fairytale marriage of him and Kim K? Already one of the most-talked about pop culture moments of the year, Ye has been publicly dragging his wife and her family online for months.
While we hope he’s getting the mental health help he needs, we’re also curious to see how much The Kardashians series will touch on one of the most public divorces of all time. Is this who Khloe and Kris were talking about when they say “never go against the family” in the show’s trailer? We’ll have to wait and see.
Travis and Kourtney
In more new-couple territory, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian got engaged at the end of last year and have been in PDA-loving bliss ever since. In The Kardashians trailer, we hear Kourtney suggest that her and Travis are planning for another Kardashian bébé. Could there be a little tatted Kardashian-Barker running around Calabasas soon? Catch us waiting for The Kardashians with bated breath.
So, prep your lip kits and your salad bowls folks because, as it turns out, there’s a whole heap of Kardashian content to catch up on as we enter a new era of the most famous family in the world.
Watch the Star Original series The Kardashians, streaming from April 14 only on Disney+.

Jussie Smollett is putting his thoughts to music.
On April 8, the former Empire star, 39, shared a clip of his latest single, titled “Thank You God…,” on Instagram, adding that all its proceeds would be donated to charitable causes. The lyric video opens with a signed statement by Smollett that reads: “Channeling these thoughts the best way I know how. Love you.”
The track was released around the time of his March 10 sentencing for staging a hate crime against himself. Lyrics include, “It’s like they’re hellbent on not solving the crime / Taking out the elements of race and trans and homophobia that’s straight taking lives / But turn around and act like I’m the one that killed the strides.”
Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail and 30 months of probation for filing a false report after he told investigators that he was the victim of an alleged hate crime in 2019. He was later released after six days behind bars after his lawyer appealed his conviction.
Jussie Smollett Released From Jail After 6 Days
Set to music, Smollett claims that he was never trying to grab attention or “chasing that clout” with his actions.
“Just remember this…this ain’t that situation / You think I’m stupid enough to kill my reputation? / Just simply to look like a victim, like it’s something fun?” He raps. “Y’all better look at someone else, you got the wrong one.”
While Smollett gave a shout out to “the people who kept it real, who kept it true,” he also leveled with others who might not have sided with him, sharing that with “the narrative they played / I really over-stand the reason why y’all felt betrayed.”
“They had my own people, thoughts going off the wall / That’s why from L.D. to Don I still got love for y’all,” he raps. “I know we’ll meet again / Talk like real men instead of sharing shade in rooms and up on CNN.”
The artist adds in the track that “all I ever really wanted to do was make my people proud.”
In the video’s caption, Smollett revealed that “100% of the profits” from the song will be donated toward The Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Illinois Innocence Project and Secure The Bag Safety. “With Love…,” he wrote, before adding the hashtag #ThankYouGod.

Which Zildjian cymbals are best?
If you’re looking to complete your drum kit, Zildjian cymbals are an obvious choice. With hundreds of years of cymbal-making experience behind them, Zildjian produces cymbals that meet the needs of all styles of drummers.
Still, you may be wondering which Zildjian cymbals are best and how to choose the right ones for you. If you want a full set of basic cymbals, try the Zildjian K Custom Dark Cymbal Pack with its warm, muted tone.
What to know before you buy a Zildjian cymbal
Types of Zildjian cymbals
Your average drum kit uses three types of cymbals: ride, crash and hi-hats. Zildjian makes these three types of cymbals, along with lesser-used offerings, such as splash and China cymbals.
- Ride cymbals are usually the largest cymbals in a beginner kit. They’re positioned above the floor tom and are usually used to play steady patterns, rather than accents. Crash cymbals are the most commonly-used accent cymbals in drum kits. As the name suggests, they make a loud crashing sound that should cut through the mix.
- Hi-hat cymbals sit on a stand with a pedal that you can use to either open or close the hats. Played closed, they’re great for maintaining a steady rhythm, and while played open, they provide a nice accent.
- Splash cymbals are less common accent cymbals that are smaller than a crash and provide a shorter accent with less sustain. China cymbals are thin and have a loud, trashy sound, which has gained them the nickname “trash crash” cymbals.
You can also buy packs containing all the basic cymbals you’ll need, which is ideal for new drummers. For more information, see the guide to drum cymbal sets at BestReviews.
Dark vs. bright
Zildjian cymbals can be divided into two main tonal qualities: bright or dark. Bright cymbals are the most commonly used option. They’re sound, responsive and punchy with a short decay, so they don’t usually ring out for too long after a hit. Dark cymbals have drier, warmer and more mellow tones. They’re popular in jazz and fusion, though they’re versatile and have a place in most types of music, especially when recording in a studio.
What to look for in a quality Zildjian cymbal
Size
Cymbal size depends on the type of cymbal. Ride cymbals usually measure between 20 and 24 inches, for instance, while crash cymbals are generally 14 to 20 inches in diameter. Typically, a larger cymbal is louder with longer sustain and a lower pitch.
Series
Zildjian makes various series or ranges of cymbals. Popular ranges include the A series, which is versatile with a bright, sweet sound and the K series, which is warm, rich and dark.
Hammering
Today, Zildjian cymbals aren’t hand-hammered. Instead, they’re hammered using a high-tech computer-controlled machine that can accurately recreate hand-hammering.
How much you can expect to spend on a Zildjian cymbal
Basic single Zildjian cymbals start at between $50-$100 but can cost as much as $500-$800, while Zildjian cymbal sets can cost as much as $1,000-$1,500.
Zildjian cymbal FAQ
What are the origins of Zildjian?
A. The very first Zildjian cymbals were made all the way back in 1618 by Avedis Zildjian, who worked for the court of the Sultan of the Ottoman empire. He was eventually given permission by the Sultan to leave the employ of the court and start his own company. That company is still run by the same family today, though it now produces cymbals in Norwell, Massachusetts.
Are Zildjian cymbals the best?
A. There’s no single best cymbal company out there, so this is impossible to answer. You can find higher-end cymbals on the market that are arguably better, but Zildjian is one of the most popular and well-respected cymbal manufacturers in the world. It makes quality cymbals that are in a price range within reach of most drummers. A huge number of famous musicians use or have used Zildjian cymbals over the years, from The Beatles’ Ringo Starr to Blink 182’s Travis Barker.

In the first incident, on Sunday morning, a 47-year-old woman was shot as she approached a checkpoint near the West Bank village of Husan. The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the woman as Ghada Sbatin, a widow and a mother of six.
The Israeli army said the woman, who it did not name, had been told to stop by soldiers as she approached the checkpoint. When she failed to do so, soldiers fired warning shots in the air, the army said. Video of the incident appears to show the woman breaking into a run as she moves forward, at which point, the army said, soldiers “fired towards the suspect’s lower body.”
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said the woman was taken to hospital but died after losing large amounts of blood. The Israeli army says soldiers found no weapons on the woman. Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh condemned the shooting, saying he holds the Israeli government, “fully responsible for the consequences of this heinous crime.”
Later Sunday, Israeli border police said a Palestinian woman who stabbed a police officer in Hebron was shot and killed. The incident happened near to Hebron’s holiest site, known to Jews as the Cave of the Patriarchs and to Muslims as the Ibrahimi Mosque. The officer was lightly injured in the assault, police said.
Tensions in Israel and the West Bank have been high for weeks, after a series of attacks by Palestinian gunmen on Israeli civilians, which have killed 14 people. Israeli soldiers have conducted sweeping operations in the West Bank in response.
On Saturday night, Israeli security forces carried out a raid in the village of Yaabad — which they say was home to the gunman who
killed five people last month in the central Israeli city of Bnei Brak. The army said it “apprehended eight suspects involved in terrorist activities and confiscated illegal weapons.” It also said it had come under attack from locals, including a suspect who “hurled an explosive device” at soldiers. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said six people were injured in the clashes, one from a bullet and five by tear gas.
Also overnight Sunday, a site believed to be the burial place of the prophet Joseph, in the West Bank town of Nablus, was damaged by a group of Palestinians, Israeli officials said.
On Sunday evening, in the Israeli city of Ashkelon, police said a Jewish man who tried to steal a gun from a female soldier was “neutralized” by another soldier who was nearby. Israeli media reports say the man was shot dead. He had a history of mental illness, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Israel’s government has responded to calls to make it harder for Palestinians to enter Israel illegally by announcing plans to build an additional 40 kilometers (25 miles) of what it calls the “seam line barrier” — which separates Israel and the West Bank. The new construction will be a concrete wall up to 9 meters (about 30 feet) high, a government statement said.

Mikel Arteta warned Arsenal will go nowhere until he solves major transfer issue
ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta has been told the importance of signing a prolific striker.
Mikel Arteta reviews Brighton defeat
Mikel Arteta won't be able to achieve success at Arsenal until he signs a top goalscoring striker, according to former Aston Villa forward Tony Cascarino. Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette has just four Premier League goals to his name this season and Cascarino says that is far from being enough.
Lacazette did not start the season as the first-choice striker for Arteta. That role was handed to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
However, the Gabon star's falling out with Arteta saw him stripped of the captaincy and then leave the club in the January window. Lacazette has taken over the armband as well as the mantle of the main forward at the Emirates.
But the Frenchman has not scored a goal from open play in over 19 hours of football. Arsenal are still in the hunt for a Champions League qualification spot this season.

But Cascarino says there is no chance of any success for Arteta until his striker issue is resolved in the transfer market. He said on talkSPORT: "Lacazette is probably the lowest-scoring centre-forward.
"He's got four Premier League goals this season. Obviously he's been in and out of the team at times, but he's played 25 games in the Premier League now and he's got four goals.
"Lacazette is an issue that he's got his contract up in the summer and that's an area they need to fill. You can't do anything in football when you've got a centre-forward who's got four, five, six goals in a season."

Arteta was asked about Lacazette's form following Saturday's 2-1 loss to Brighton. But he did not want to speak individually about the 30-year-old.
Arteta said: "We need to score more goals, that’s for sure and that’s a collective issue." He was then asked if he was happy with Lacazette's performance.
The Spaniard replied: "I’m never happy when I lose, I’m really upset. I cannot be happy."
Speaking about the performance in general, Arteta admitted there was no improvement from last Monday's loss at Crystal Palace. He added: "The first half was really poor again.
"The reaction that we wanted to show and everything that we talked about, we didn’t make it happen on the pitch. We were sloppy with the ball, we were second best again in a lot of situations, we didn’t show any purpose or build any momentum in the game, play with the right speed and transform the game that Brighton proposed today and with the first chance that they had, the only chance I think they had, they scored a goal and, again, we created a cold atmosphere, an atmosphere we weren’t comfortable with and when we tried to change it, it was too late."

Chicago Bulls will face the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks beginning Sunday in the 1st round of the NBA playoffs
The Chicago Bulls will face the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the NBA playoffs, staying close to home to begin their first postseason appearance in five years.
The best-of-seven series will start Sunday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Game time and TV coverage are undetermined.
The Bulls (46-36) — who completed the regular season Sunday night with a 124-120 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves — became locked in to the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference last week after beginning 2022 at the top of the conference standings.
The defending NBA champion Bucks (51-31) were neck and neck with the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers but dropped to the third seed Sunday after resting most of their starters in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The rivalry between the Bulls and Bucks seemed to gain an new edge after Alex Caruso’s injury at the hands of Grayson Allen in January, but it has been a lopsided series ever since. The Bulls lost all four meetings with the Bucks this season, including 28- and 21-point blowouts in the last two games.
“They’re champions for a reason,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. “They’re battle-tested. They’ve been through this. We will have to play very, very good basketball on both ends of the floor.”
Despite facing the hardest schedule in the league after the All-Star break, the Bucks posted a 15-7 record as they chase back-to-back titles.
Giannis Antetokounmpo poses an impossible problem for most teams, but the Bucks have thrived in recent wins over the Bulls on the strength of other players such as Brook Lopez and Jrue Holiday.
“They have a really good team and a complete team,” Zach LaVine said. “I think we do as well. We just have to attack them and figure out a way we can beat them. … We have to try to bring the fight to them because if we’re back on our heels, it’s not going to be good.”

Isiah Kiner-Falefa finally collects first hit as a Yankee
Isiah Kiner-Falefa finally got it. The shortstop went into Sunday night’s series finale against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium 0-for-8 with an error in the first two games. In the Bombers’ half of the inning, Kiner-Falefa led off the fourth with a double.
Aaron Boone, however, wasn’t worried about that snowballing on the 27-year-old the Yankees acquired from the Twins last month.
“I feel like offensively he’s hit some balls really hard and just hasn’t got anything to show for it yet. Obviously made the error on the throw on the run,” the Yankees manager said before Sunday night’s game. “I like where he’s at from a mindset. He’s aggressive. He’s attacking on both sides of the ball. Now we just got to dot that hit column, but that’s going to come especially with his bat-to-ball skills, and like I said, I feel like he hit a couple balls right on the nose last night, so he’ll be fine.”
Kiner-Falefa is a career-.265/.316/.354 hitter with 16 home runs over four years in the big leagues. He came up to the majors as a catcher and was a Gold Glove third baseman, but said shortstop was the position he is most comfortable with.
Kiner-Falefa bobbled a ground ball on the eighth, but Gleyber Torres’ quick turn—and a slow Red Sox video replay room—got the double-play.
PINSTRIPE DEBUT
Jose Trevino made his Yankee debut Sunday night, catching left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the nationally televised game. The catcher was acquired from the Rangers the last week of spring training when it was clear that Ben Rortvedt, the catcher the Yankees got in the trade with the Twins with Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson, was not going to be ready for the season.
Trevino singled in the fourth and scored a run.
“I like Jose behind the plate. We talked about how good (Kyle Higashioka) is back there and rightfully so. But Jose’s tremendous back there too,” Boone said. “And it’s exactly what you said Higgy’s not going to go every day. Feel like Jose’s got a chance to work a little bit with Monty already. He caught his last live session and felt like they connected pretty well. So excited for him to get his first start with us. And, and getting the mix.”
The 29-year old Trevino is a .245/.270/.364 career hitter over parts of four years in the big leagues. Last year, he started a career-high 89 games for the Rangers, hitting .239 with five homers and 30 RBI.
Rortvedt had a strained right oblique when the Yankees made the deal. He was still feeling the strain, so the Yankees sent him for an MRI this week. Boone said he’s been cleared to start ramping up.
ON THE THIRD DAY DJ RESTS
With their unique roster, Boone will be rotating guys for a day off. On Sunday, it was DJ LeMahieu who was on the bench.
“I am trying to get out in front and look at matchups when kind of makes the most sense. I think most of our guys, if not all, will probably have at least one day here in the first 10 (games),” Boone said. “So just trying to be a little strategic with how we do it. I’m sure there’ll be a wrinkle in here that alters how we want to do it. But like I said the other day, it’s probably this is the most I’ve done where I’m kind of, at least, penciling out several days ahead as much as I can.”
LeMahieu ended up pinch hitting in the eighth, flying out to right field.

Greitens case at center of scrutiny for St. Louis prosecutor
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The 2018 prosecution of Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens played a pivotal role in his eventual resignation.
Now, questions about St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s handling of the case jeopardize her own career, even as Greitens reenters politics and contends for a U.S. Senate seat.
Gardner faces a hearing Monday before the Missouri Office of Disciplinary Counsel. She is accused of failing to disclose evidence to Greitens’ lawyers, misrepresenting evidence, and other violations.
If the panel finds fault, the Missouri Supreme Court would decide the penalty.
At worst, Gardner could face suspension or disbarment. That could cost Gardner her job, as state law requires elected prosecutors to hold active law licenses.

BEIJING (AP) — The manufacturing hub of Guangzhou closed itself to most arrivals Monday as China battles a major COVID-19 surge in its big eastern cities.
Shanghai has taken the brunt of the surge, with another 26,087 cases announced on Monday, only 914 of which showed symptoms. The city of 26 million is under a tight lockdown, with many residents confined to their homes for up to three weeks.
No such lockdown has yet been announced for Guangzhou, a metropolis of 18 million northwest of Hong Kong that is home to many top companies and China's busiest airport. Just 27 cases were reported in the city on Monday.
However, primary and middle schools have been switched to online after an initial 23 local infections were detected last week. An exhibition center was being converted into a makeshift hospital after authorities said earlier they would begin citywide mass testing.
Only citizens with a “definite need" to leave Guangzhou can do so, and only if they test negative for the virus within 48 hours of departure, city spokesperson Chen Bin said in a social media announcement.
China has stuck to its “zero-COVID” strategy of handling outbreaks with strict isolation and mass testing, despite complaints in Shanghai over shortages of food and medical services.
China's government and the entirely state-controlled media are growing increasingly defensive about complaints over the COVID-19 prevention measures, censoring content online and rebuking foreign critics.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Sunday said China had “lodged solemn representations with the U.S." after the State Department advised Americans to reconsider traveling to China due to “arbitrary enforcement” of local laws and COVID-19 restrictions, particularly in Hong Kong, Jilin province and Shanghai. U.S. officials cited a risk of “parents and children being separated.”
China was “strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to the U.S. side’s groundless accusation against China’s epidemic response,” Zhao said.
Despite that, and indications the hardline policy is being dictated by head of the ruling Communist Party Xi Jinping, China has rejected any notion that its response is political in nature. Xi has demanded social stability above all else in the runup to a key party congress later this year at which he is expected to bestow on himself an unprecedented third-term as party leader.
The English-language China Daily acknowledged that Shanghai's measures are “far from perfect," and pointed to the firing last week of three local officials for failing in their duties. But it said that shouldn't become an “excuse to politicize the event and blame China.”
Despite the large number of cases, no new deaths have been reported in the Shanghai wave, possibly because the omicron variant is less deadly than older variants.
City authorities also say they have secured daily supplies for residents, following complaints about deliveries of food and other necessities.
Residents have resorted to group buying of groceries because they are not allowed to leave their buildings, with only partial success in obtaining needed items.
The capital Beijing has seen relatively few restrictions, although the Erjiefang neighborhood including the famed 798 art district has been cordoned off and classified as high risk after eight infections were reported there over the past two weeks.
China is facing one of its worst local outbreaks since the pandemic began. China is still mostly closed to international travel, even as most of the world has sought ways to live with the virus.
7 Travel Stocks That Will Benefit as Covid Restrictions EndFrom sea to shining sea, the green shoots of a re-opening are rapidly turning into a forest of lush growth. That may sound a bit over the top, but after two long years, it appears that 2022 will bring a return to travel that resembles pre-pandemic levels. And if you still think that's hyperbole, consider this:
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington estimates that 73% of Americans are currently immune to the omicron variant of Covid-19. At that level, many experts believe that future surges will be less disruptive. And even Dr. Anthony Fauci believes it's time for Americans to turn the page.
And that's why investors should start looking at travel stocks. To be fair, this isn't a sector where investors will find many undervalued stocks. In fact, many skeptics may say that these stocks have future growth priced in.
That's a theory that is about to be tested in a big way. This is why we've done some digging and are presenting you with seven stocks that appear to offer some intriguing value as Americans make their travel plans.

Brady Allen makes college debut in Purdue football’s spring game
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WFIE) - Spring is finally in the air again, which means football practices are wrapping up on college campuses nationwide, culminating with their 2022 spring games.
The Purdue football program held its annual spring game on Saturday, providing former Gibson Southern quarterback Brady Allen his first chance to showcase his skill set in front of Boilermaker fans, and the freshman signal-caller did not disappoint.
The 2021 Indiana Mr. Football winner completed 4 of 8 passes for 57 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers. His lone touchdown pass went 22 yards to freshman wide receiver Zion Steptoe.
Allen, who enrolled at Purdue ahead of the spring semester, decided to leave high school early so he could get a jump on learning the Boilermakers’ playbook.
“It’s been great that he’s come in the spring because he’s had 15 practices against college football players, and the speed of the game is something that he’s had to get adjusted to – learning the terminology is an adjustment,” Purdue football head coach Jeff Brohm said. “We’re happy as heck to have him. We think he has a bright future, and we just gotta continue to work at it. Things don’t happen overnight, especially at the quarterback position, especially against the teams we play, so he just has to be willing to spend the time to get better, and we’ll spend the time with him for sure.”
“I would say there’s a lot of work to do,” Allen said. “It’s a day-by-day process. There’s a difference of being able to know it when you’re sitting down, and then being able to process it on the field. So trying to get to that point where it’s just natural recall is huge for me. Just trying to be a sponge to trying to learn as much as possible.
“It’s been the process of learning through spring practice being able to come out here and have some success, and then using the stuff that I know,” Allen continued. “Being able to process and kind of see how things develop has been a big thing.”

It started with Goel trying his luck and using his engineering acumen in the field of RF component manufacturing by incorporating Space Telelink Ltd in 2007. Sharma joined STL in 2010. Both later incorporated Space Teleinfra Pvt Ltd (STIPL) in 2016, which was focused on in-building solutions.
It’s their vision, passion and indefatigable energy that has been instrumental in SpaceWorld Group’s success in a very short time. Today, SpaceWorld Group has several well- established companies in the sectors of telecom, chemicals, optical fibre, RF equipment, component manufacturing etc. These companies are outperforming the market in terms of technology, product innovation, customer experience, scale, etc.
Creating a market leader enterprise
Sharma and Goel stepped into the telecom segment when the country was seeing a digital shift in terms of data consumption. The 4G data-led revolution, along with aggressive pricing by telecom players, boosted data consumption and its demand across the country.
They identified a niche space for themselves by providing in-building telecom infrastructure solutions (IBS) and formed STIPL.
STIPL enables voice and data connectivity to millions of customers in tough and dead spot locations like underground metros, airports, offices, hospitals and malls. One such example would be the Atal Tunnel (connecting Kashmir and Ladakh) where STIPL has laid its infrastructure enabling high speed connectivity. Within a few years of its launch, STIPL became one of the market leaders in its domain, with more than 50 per cent market share.
The group has recently spun off STIPL to Brookfield for a consideration of around Rs 900 crore.
“As an entrepreneur, one should always be quick to identify opportunities, gather resources and scale the business rapidly,” said Goel.
Next-gen connectivity
Goel and Sharma also sensed the emerging ‘work-from-home’ culture during the pandemic and identified gaps in the next-gen internet infrastructure and incorporated RANext in early 2020.
Today, RANext provides high-speed fibre connectivity and intelligent building management solutions to residential, commercial and office building complexes. RANext equips real estate assets with world-class network neutral infrastructure.
It can support multiple services from telecom service providers, ISPs, entertainment, security surveillance, iBMS, IOT, iTES and other non-telco services for home and building management services.
Making India Atma Nirbhar
Next on the list is Horizon Performance Polyurethane (HPP), which is into the manufacturing of polyurethane (polyester and polyether).
HPP is amongst a handful of polyurethane manufacturing plants in India and is working on new innovative products, thereby helping the nation to rely less on other countries for the import of costlier finished materials.
Heavily R&D-focused, HPP is also working towards developing biodegradable polyurethane, one of the most critical issues of the world.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A showdown looms in Ukraine as Russia appointed a new military commander and looked to concentrate its attacks on the eastern part of the country, while Ukraine’s president said his troops will hold their ground, and urged Western leaders, in particular President Joe Biden, to do more.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Sunday in his nightly address to the nation that the coming week would be as crucial as any during the war, saying “Russian troops will move to even larger operations in the east of our state.”
Zelenskyy also said that Ukraine’s fate as the war shifts south and east depends on whether the United States will help match a surge in Russian weaponry in the regions.
“To be honest, whether we will be able to (survive) depends on this,” said Zelenskyy said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday night, speaking through a translator. “Unfortunately, I don’t have the confidence that we will be receiving everything we need.
Zelenskyy said he was grateful to Biden for U.S. military aid 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.”
Experts have said that the next phase of the battle may begin with a full-scale offensive. The outcome could determine the course of the conflict, which has flattened cities, killed untold thousands and isolated Moscow economically and politically.
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 his Sunday night address, Zelenskyy 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.
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 Bucha and 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.
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.”

Twitter's biggest shareholder, Elon Musk, has decided not to join its board, chief executive Parag Agrawal says.
Musk, who calls himself a free-speech absolutist and has been critical of Twitter, disclosed a 9.1 per cent stake on April 4 and said he planned to bring about significant improvements at the social media platform.
His appointment to the board was to become effective on Saturday and would have prevented him being a beneficial owner of more than 14.9 per cent of common stock.
Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
But "Elon shared that same morning that he will no longer be joining the board", Agrawal said in a note on Twitter late on Sunday.
"I believe this is for the best. We have and will always value input from our shareholders whether they are on our board or not. Elon is our biggest shareholder and we will remain open to his input," Agrawal said.
Musk limited his response to a face with hand over mouth emoticon on Twitter. Tesla did not immediately respond to an email sent to the company seeking a comment from Musk.
News of Musk taking a board seat had some Twitter employees panicking over the future of the social media firm's ability to moderate content, company insiders told Reuters.
Before taking a stake, Musk ran a Twitter poll asking users if they believed Twitter adheres to the principle of free speech.
A day after becoming the largest shareholder, he launched another poll asking users if they want an edit button, a long-awaited feature on which the social media platform has been working.
The Tesla boss also asked users in a poll if Twitter's headquarters should be converted into a homeless shelter, a plan backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
On Saturday, he suggested changes to Twitter Blue premium subscription service, including slashing its price, banning advertising and giving an option to pay in the cryptocurrency dogecoin.
Twitter shares, which soared 27 per cent on April 4 after Musk disclosed his stake, has lost 7.5 per cent since then to Friday's close.
"There will be distractions ahead, but our goals and priorities remain unchanged," Agrawal said in his Sunday note.
"Let's tune out the noise, and stay focused on the work and what we're building."

With North Carolina’s loss to Kansas in the national championship game a week into the rearview mirror, and the coaching staff back from a busy weekend watching prospects, the business of moving forward begins for UNC’s program.
Some players have decisions to make about their futures, and will do so with the benefit of information gathered by the program, which is an ongoing process and quite valuable to the players.
In particular, two Tar Heels with eligibility remaining could choose to move on to the NBA. Armando Bacot and Caleb Love are the most discussed players who could opt for the next level. Senior wing Leaky Black could use the extra year because of COVID-19 and come back as well, though those things and more will be discussed when Davis and the players have their end-of-season meetings.
Bacot, a 6-foot-10 native of Richmond, VA, tested the draft waters last spring, so if he enters his name into the draft this month, he cannot return to UNC. He led the Tar Heels in scoring at 16.3 points per game, rebounding at 13.1 per contest, and blocked shots with 65. Bacot shot 56.9 percent from the floor, and converted 67 percent of his free throw attempts.
He also tied Navy’s David Robinson (1985, 1986) for the all-time single-season record with 31 double-doubles. Bacot grabbed 20 or more rebounds in a game five times. He also became the first player in history to record a double-double in all six NCAA Tournament games, including pulling down 22 rebounds in the Elite Eight win over St. Peter’s and 21 in the national semifinals victory over Duke.
*************************************************************************************
And Remember, for just $8.33 a month, YOU CAN BE AN INSIDER, TOO!!!
*************************************************************************************
UNC Coach Hubert Davis told THI in an exclusive interview in late February that in order for players to stick in the NBA, they “must be elite” at something, and with that, he believes Bacot certainly does one thing extremely well.
“One of the things that Armando does at an elite level is he rebounds,” Davis said. “That translates.”
Also in an exclusive interview with THI late in the season, Bacot said he wants his jersey hanging in the rafters inside the Smith Center, noting he really wants to win ACC Player of the Year, but the team stuff comes first.
“I want to put a team banner somewhere up there in one of those categories,” he said. “I just want to be a part of some type of team history at North Carolina. If that’s winning an ACC regular season championship, ACC Tournament, national championship, just something.”
Multiple sources close to the situation have indicated to THI they believe Bacot will return to UNC for his senior season. A need to develop more, win a national championship, and achieve more personal success and honors are important to Bacot. In addition, the potential for what he could earn through NIL is impressive enough it could make resisting NBA money for another year an option to consider.
That doesn’t mean his situation is etched in stone. And until Bacot publicly reveals his intentions, his eventual decision remains in question.
Sophomore guard Caleb Love could submit his name into the NBA Draft to test the waters and return, as he did not do so a year ago. It would not be a surprise if Love does that, and might make sense. It would give him a chance to attain information from the league about his game, and if he chose to return, allow him another year to sharpen those aspects to strengthen his chances at sticking in the league. He would have until June 1 to remove his name and return to UNC.
The 6-foot-4 native of St. Louis, who reportedly has a 6-foot-9 wingspan, developed into a clutch player for the Tar Heels this season, converting big shots and free throws often late in close games over the final two months. His three highest scoring games occurred in the NCAA Tournament: 30 versus UCLA in the Sweet 16; 28 versus Duke in the national semifinals; and 23 versus Marquette in the first round.
Among the things Love was proudest about late this season was how his work in the offseason and sharpening his game in-season started paying off. Love believes in his work and grind, and clearly sees an NBA career in his future.
“I put in so much work this offseason, not only the offseason, (but) throughout the whole season,” Love told THI last week in New Orleans, explaining his surge in performance late in the season. “Just sticking to my work.”
Love finished the campaign averaging 15.9 points per contest while shooting 37.1 percent from the floor, including 36 percent from beyond the arc. He converted 86.3 percent of his free throws. In addition, Love was second on the team averaging 3.6 assists. Carolina was 13-0 when Love scored 20 or more points, and 14-0 when he handed out at least five assists in a game.
Like Bacot, sources with knowledge of the NIL potential of Bacot and Love, have told THI that Love could also earn enough through NIL to make returning for another year a fairly easy decision.
In looking at nine recently updated NBA mock drafts, several of which only project the first round, Bacot was at Nos. 40 (NBADraft.Net), and 54 (NBADraftRoom.com), respectively. Love was in the first round in three mocks updated since the national championship game, including Nos. 27 (Fox Sports), 29 (Yahoo! Sports), and 30 (NBADraftRoom.com). He did not appear in two mocks that included a second round (USA Today & Tankathon).
Players have until April 24 to submit their names into the 2022 NBA Draft.
As for Black, he somewhat hinted at the possibility of returning during a postgame interview in February. A source very close to Black told THI in March it was “likely” he would take advantage of the extra year and return to UNC. In addition, Davis said on his radio show last month he would welcome back Black if that’s what the 6-foot-8 native of Concord, NC, wants.
"The thing that I want for Leaky and the thing I want for everyone is I want them to reach all their dreams and goals,” Carolina’s coach said. “And if Leaky's dream and goal is to come back one more year, I would absolutely love that."
Black averaged 4.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists, plus he had 34 steals, and blocked 26 shots. Black improved his shooting from the previous two seasons, hitting 46.6 percent from the floor, including 33.3 percent from three-point range. He was a defensive dynamo for the Tar Heels, guarding the one-through-four spots, and effectively shutting down some of the best players in college basketball.
Speculating on specific names of current Tar Heels that might enter the transfer portal would be unfair. Unless someone formally enters the portal, THI will not entertain conjecture.

COLUMBUS, Kans. — A Christian outreach is raising money to help Missouri Youth.
This afternoon was the sixth annual Pull for Young Life at Claythorne Lodge in Columbus.
Dozens came out to compete in the sporting clays tournament to help the not-for-profit.
Young Life mentors teens at Joplin High School, Carl Junction High School and Carthage High School.
“High school is a really really hard time navigating friendships and just different things. Young Life leaders enter their world and go to their lunch room or sporting events, games. They’re cheerleaders for them. They’re a shoulder to lean on when things get tough,” said Lane Freeborn, Area Director of Southwest Missouri Young Life.
The top three winner of today’s tournament took home trophies.
The outreach also raffled off a shot gun and other prizes.
All the money raised will help fund Young Life programs.

Which one-handed gaming keyboard is best?
One-handed gaming keyboards are growing in popularity in the PC community. These compact keyboards provide gamers with access to all of the keys necessary for play but take up very little desk space and are often more ergonomic than traditional keyboards.
The Razer Tartarus Pro Gaming Keypad is the best one-handed gaming keyboard for most users. It includes a wealth of additional input controls, LED lighting, a comfortable design and a padded wrist rest. Razer is a respected manufacturer of PC accessories, known for building reliable devices.
What to know before you buy a one-handed gaming keyboard
Why use a one-handed gaming keyboard?
One-handed gaming keyboards are specifically designed to enhance your speed while playing games that require the use of a keyboard and mouse control scheme. Their small design allows you to rest your hand in one position and still access all required buttons without moving your arm or having to look down at the keys for accuracy. These compact devices are also great for those who game on laptop PCs, as they are more comfortable than the small, cramped keyboards often built into these computers.
Desk space
Typical use of your PC will still require a full-size keyboard, so don’t expect your one-handed gaming model to completely replace it. While one-handed gaming keyboards are compact and take up little space, you will still need enough room on your desk to comfortably use one. If your main keyboard is wired, you may have to consider placement options that will allow proper room to use your gaming device.
Your preferred games
One-handed gaming keyboards are not appropriate for all games or game genres. While they excel at games that require quick resources and use only a few keys to perform actions, games that require typing or make full use of a traditional keyboard cannot be played enjoyably with the limited keys available on a one-handed model.
Photo and video editing
If you edit audio, video or photos professionally, a one-handed gaming keyboard can speed up your workflow in the same way it can enhance someone’s speed while gaming. If you are looking to maximize your efficiency while working, consider trying a one-handed gaming keyboard.
What to look for in a quality one-handed gaming keyboard
Comfort
Your comfort is key when it comes to using a one-handed gaming keyboard. Many models are ergonomically designed for your wrist to rest on a pad while allowing your fingers to reach the keys. The small size of a one-handed gaming keyboard also allows for greater flexibility when it comes to placing the device on your desk or table, as it is less cumbersome than a traditional model.
Aesthetics
Many one-handed gaming keyboards include RGB LED backlighting and other effects. Some feature programmable lighting schemes while others remain static. From edgy designs meant to attract gamers to more understated appearances that work better in a professional setting, these keyboards come in many styles. Select a one-handed gaming keyboard that appeals to your taste.
Key layout
Some one-handed keyboards are basically just a traditional keyboard cut in half. They provide you with keys that retain the familiar letters and layout found on full-size models, making it easy to transition from one device to another. Different models provide keys that are either numbered or custom labeled. These can be challenging to use, but are often preferred once the learning curve is mastered.
Additional controls
Some one-handed gaming keyboards include joysticks, trackballs and other additional input controls. Depending on the kind of gaming or work you do, these extras may prove to be either indispensable or not worth the additional expense. Consider your intended use carefully before investing in a keyboard with too many unneeded extra features.
Switch style
Mechanical keyboards are in high demand among gamers and coders because their keys provide a snappy, satisfying response. Membrane keyboards have a softer, rubbery feel to them but are usually less expensive. If you’re looking for the best gaming experience, most users recommend a one-handed keyboard with mechanical switches.
Keyboard switch types explained
You may be surprised to learn that some users are very passionate about the feel and even the sound of their keyboard switches. There are two common switch types available for most keyboards:
- Mechanical switches are preferred by gamers and professionals alike. Mechanical keyboards are more expensive, but they provide more customization options and tactile feedback for those who prefer a more responsive device. They can also be quite loud to use, which some users actually prefer.
- Membrane switches are more common. They provide a softer, quieter typing experience and are cheaper to produce. They are more familiar to most users but provide less accuracy than mechanical options. Unless specifically labeled otherwise, assume that almost any keyboard you pick up will include membrane switches.
How much you can expect to spend on a one-handed gaming keyboard
A one-handed gaming keyboard will cost $20-$150 depending on features, build quality and included accessories.
One-handed gaming keyboard FAQ
Can you type with a one-handed gaming keyboard?
A. No. These keyboard models are not made for typing, and even those that retain keybed lettering only contain half of a traditional keyboard, at most.
Can you use a one-handed gaming keyboard on your video game console?
A. In some cases, yes. Some game consoles allow you to plug in USB accessories easily, while others require adapters and clever key assignments to be used. Check with the manufacturer of your console for compatibility.
Is it hard to set up a one-handed gaming keyboard?
A. It depends on the model you select. If you choose a keyboard that requires you to determine which keys perform what function, setup can take some time. Models that retain traditional keyboard letters are simpler to set up for most users.

NEW YORK (AP) — (EDITOR'S NOTE: The season-long celebration of the NBA's 75th anniversary is winding down. As part of The Associated Press series on the NBA's first 75 years, Commissioner Adam Silver wrote this essay on what the league could look like 25 years from now when it celebrates its 100th anniversary.)
___
What will the NBA look like at 100? While it is difficult to predict the future one year from now, let alone 25, I do know what will remain unchanged: Our bedrock principle that “sports have the power to change the world."
Our teams and players will continue to use the game of basketball to teach lifelong values, give back to our communities and bring awareness to critically important societal issues.
We will also continue to embrace being a global league. Our games are distributed in more than 200 countries and territories, our social media community exceeds 2 billion people, and 25% of the players in our league grew up outside of the United States. The NBA’s reach is expansive, though in many ways we are just scratching the surface in terms of our international growth.
I expect live sports and entertainment to remain special. There is something truly remarkable about 20,000 people of different backgrounds gathering together in an arena to enjoy a shared experience. What makes NBA games unique — the proximity to the players, the fast-paced nature of the game and the energy derived from being around other people — will be as vital in 25 years as it is today.
What I do foresee changing is how fans around the world engage with the NBA. Today’s fans can watch NBA basketball on their high-definition televisions or just as easily on their smartphones. But in 25 years, this notion of watching games on a “screen” may be irrelevant. Games will appear in any size — three-dimensionally — whether on a living room floor or in a ballroom. Watching basketball anywhere could feel like you are in an arena surrounded by thousands of fellow fans.
The game on the court will evolve as well, as a whole new group of players builds on the greatness of the generations that came before them. We may see different kinds of schedule formats and tournaments that create new league traditions. And perhaps, once air travel becomes faster, we will have franchises outside of North America.
And if we are more popular at our 100th anniversary than we are today, I know we will have remained true to our mission to inspire and connect people everywhere through the game of basketball.

British intelligence has recorded new evidence of Russiaʼs war crimes, including in Buzova in Kyiv Oblast, which was liberated from Russian occupation. This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense.
"This includes the reported discovery of a makeshift grave containing deceased Ukrainian civilians near Buzova", the statement said.
Allegations of sexual violence by Russians also persist.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk won't be joining Twitter's board of directors as previously announced. The tempestuous billionaire remains Twitter’s largest shareholder.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted the news, which followed a weekend of Musk tweets suggesting possible changes to Twitter, including making the site ad-free. Nearly 90% of Twitter's 2021 revenue came from ads.
“Elon's appointment to the board was to become officially effective on 4/9, but Elon shared that same morning that he would not be joining the board,” Agrawal wrote in a reposted note originally sent to Tesla employees. “I believe this is for the best.”
Agrawal didn't offer an explanation for Musk's apparent decision, although he dropped one major hint. The Twitter board “believed having Elon as a fiduciary of the company, where he, like all board members, has to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders, was the best path forward," he wrote.

Joyce Ares had just turned 74 and was feeling fine when she agreed to give a blood sample for research. So she was surprised when the screening test came back positive for signs of cancer.
After a repeat blood test, a PET scan and a needle biopsy, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma.
“I cried,” the retired real estate broker said. “Just a couple of tears and thought, ‘OK, now what do we do?’”
The Canby, Oregon, resident had volunteered to take a blood test that is being billed as a new frontier in cancer screening for healthy people. It looks for cancer by checking for DNA fragments shed by tumor cells.
Such blood tests, called liquid biopsies, are already used in patients with cancer to tailor their treatment and check to see if tumors come back.
Now, one company is promoting its blood test to people with no signs of cancer as a way to detect tumors in the pancreas, ovaries and other sites that have no recommended screening method.
It’s an open question whether such cancer blood tests — if added to routine care — could improve Americans’ health or help meet the White House’s goal of cutting the cancer death rate in half over the next 25 years.
With advances in DNA sequencing and data science making the blood tests possible, California-based Grail and other companies are racing to commercialize them.
And U.S. government researchers are planning a large experiment — possibly lasting seven years and with 200,000 participants — to see if the blood tests can live up to the promise of catching more cancers earlier and saving lives.
“They sound wonderful, but we don’t have enough information,” said Dr. Lori Minasian of the National Cancer Institute, who is involved in planning the research. “We don’t have definitive data that shows that they will reduce the risk of dying from cancer.”
Grail is far ahead of other companies with 2,000 doctors willing to prescribe the $949 test. Most insurance plans don’t cover the cost. The tests are being marketed without endorsements from medical groups or a recommendation from U.S. health authorities. Review by the Food and Drug Administration isn’t required for this type of test.
“For a drug, the FDA demands that there is a substantial high likelihood that the benefits not only are proven, but they outweigh the harms. That’s not the case for devices like blood tests,” said Dr. Barry Kramer of the Lisa Schwartz Foundation for Truth in Medicine.
Grail plans to seek approval from the FDA, but is marketing its test as it submits data to the agency.
The history of cancer screening has taught caution. In 2004, Japan halted mass screening of infants for a childhood cancer after studies found it didn’t save lives. Last year, a 16-year study in 200,000 women in the United Kingdom found regular screening for ovarian cancer didn’t make any difference in deaths.
Cases like these have uncovered some surprises: Screening finds some cancers that don’t need to be cured. The flip side? Many dangerous cancers grow so fast they elude screening and prove deadly anyway.
And screening can do more harm than good. Anxiety from false positives. Unnecessary costs. And serious side effects from cancer care: PSA tests for men can lead to treatment complications such as incontinence or impotence, even when some slow-growing prostate cancers would never have caused trouble.
The evidence is strongest for screening tests for cancers of the breast, cervix and colon. For some smokers, lung cancer screening is recommended.
The recommended tests — mammography, PAP tests, colonoscopy — look for one cancer at a time. The new blood tests look for many cancers at once. That’s an advantage, according to Grail executive Dr. Joshua Ofman.
“We screen for four or five cancers in this country, but (many) cancer deaths are coming from cancers that we’re not looking for at all,” Ofman said.
Dr. Tomasz Beer of Oregon Health & Science University in Portland led the company-sponsored study that Joyce Ares joined in 2020. After a miserable winter of chemotherapy and radiation, doctors told her the treatment was a success.
Her case isn't an outlier, "but it is the sort of hoped-for ideal outcome, and not everyone is going to have that,” Beer said.
While there were other early cancers detected among study participants, some had less clear-cut experiences. For some, blood tests led to scans that never located a cancer, which could mean the result was a false positive, or it could mean there's a mystery cancer that will show up later. For others, blood tests detected cancer that turned out to be advanced and aggressive, Beer said. One older participant with a bad case declined treatment.
Grail continues to update its test as it learns from these studies, and is sponsoring a trial with Britain’s National Health Service in 140,000 people to see if the blood test can reduce the number of cancers caught in late stages.
Although Ares feels lucky, it’s impossible to know whether her test added healthy years to her life or made no real difference, said Kramer, former director of the National Cancer Institute’s Division of Cancer Prevention.
“I sincerely hope that Joyce benefited from having this test,” Kramer said when told of her experience. “But unfortunately, we can’t know, at the individual Joyce level, whether that’s the case."
Cancer treatments can have long-term side effects, he said, "and we don’t know how fast the tumor would have grown.” Treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma is so effective that delaying therapy until she felt symptoms might have achieved the same happy outcome.
For now, health experts stress the Grail blood test is not a cancer diagnosis; a positive result triggers further scans and biopsies.
“This is a path in diagnostic testing that has never been tried before," Kramer said. “Our ultimate destination is a test that has a clear net benefit. If we don’t do it carefully, we’ll go way off the path.”

DALLAS – Luka Doncic strained his left calf in Dallas' 130-120 win over San Antonio in what turned out to be a meaningless regular-season finale on Sunday night, putting the superstar's status in question for the playoff-bound Mavericks.
Doncic wouldn't have even been eligible for the game had the NBA not rescinded his 16th technical foul of the season two nights earlier against Portland. Without the NBA's decision, Doncic would have served a one-game suspension.
The two-time All-Star had turned to run to the defensive end late in the third quarter when he pulled up after the first step and stopped.
Doncic, who led Dallas with 26 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, called for the medical staff while reaching for his calf after play was stopped and almost immediately went to the locker room.
Coach Jason Kidd said after the game he didn't have any update on the injury, but Doncic's status could be in doubt with fourth-seeded Dallas set to open the playoffs next weekend against Utah.
The Mavericks had a chance to move up the third seed, but needed New Orleans to beat Golden State when the Pelicans were resting several regulars. The Warriors won 128-107.
The Spurs were already locked into the final spot in the play-in tournament as the 10th seed in the Western Conference. Keldon Johnson scored 24 points for San Antonio, which will play ninth-seeded New Orleans on Wednesday. The winner plays the loser between No 7 seed Minnesota and the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 8 seed.
Kidd said before the game the club wanted to treat it as a dress rehearsal for the playoffs even if it didn’t mean moving up from the fourth seed.
Doncic had played his normal rotation, going the entire first quarter and part of the second. He was on the verge of playing all of the third quarter when he pulled up with the injury. He left with 2:24 remaining in the quarter.
Dorian Finney-Smith scored all of his 16 points in the third quarter, when Dallas broke a 59-59 halftime tie by outscoring San Antonio 38-23. The Mavericks held on in the fourth quarter with a lineup filled by players not in the rotation.
The Mavericks won all four games against San Antonio, sweeping the season series from their Texas rivals for the first time.
TIP-INS
Spurs: G Lonnie Walker IV sat with lower back tightness a night after leading the Spurs with 24 points in a loss to Golden State. ... Dejounte Murray scored 17 points after missing the past five games with a non-COVID-19 illness. ... Josh Richardson scored 18 points against his former team. ... Jakob Poeltl had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Mavericks: C Dwight Powell set a club record with 18 consecutive shots made over four games. Coming into the season, Powell shared the previous record of 14 with DeAndre Jordan and Erick Dampier. He broke the record with his first bucket before the run ended on his fifth attempt when he couldn't convert an alley-oop pass from Jalen Brunson. He finished 5 of 6 and scored 12 points. ... F Maxi Kleber missed his fourth consecutive game with right ankle soreness, but Kidd said he would be ready for the playoffs.

People turn to professional advisers because they want precise answers and exact solutions to often complex issues regarding tax, financial or estate planning. The ‘that depends’ answer from a lawyer or accountant can be irritating for a client looking for absolute certainty in the guidance they receive.
One area of advice this unwelcome response applies to revolves around setting up trusts, often seen as the panacea for tax planning problems. However, trusts are not always the most effective solution because, well you’ve guessed it, that depends – on many factors.
Unfortunately, I have seen an increasing number of new clients with asset protection trusts (APT) – or family protection trusts (FPT) as they’re sometimes known – in place for whom this was not necessarily the right route. I am not suggesting that your mobile will, in the future, be bombarded by PPI-style calls offering compensation for mis-sold trusts, but too many are setting up complex structures without properly establishing if it is the right solution. As ever, expert legal advice and careful thought is a must.
The good news is that you can usually dissolve a trust if it is not the right planning vehicle and we are dealing with an increasing number of such cases where new clients to our firm have an existing trust that is simply not fit for purpose.
That said, for many they can be the ideal solution for protecting assets such as the family home, money and investment portfolios from future tax liabilities. If you dismiss trusts as a planning tool only for high-net-worth individuals, think again.
APTs can be set up by anyone over 18, but they are most commonly used by couples transferring partial or full ownership of their home to their children. The ownership of your home can be transferred to the trust, but you can choose to retain the right to carry on living in the property for as long as you and/or your partner require. However, if you wish to transfer your home to a trust but keep living there without paying a market rent then that may not be an effective gift. This is a particularly complex aspect of trusts that requires specialist input.
However, in many cases, a trust is a way of making a gift, crucially allowing you to retain an element of control of your affairs. Simply transferring your home outright to your offspring could leave you vulnerable if any children were to predecease you or family relationships break down. This can be further complicated if family members to whom you have transferred your home hit financial difficulties and, if the recent Covid situation has taught us anything, it is that many people lack financial resilience.
Trusts come with tax benefits and there can be positive implications for Inheritance Tax (IHT) and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liabilities depending on individual circumstances. Hold over relief is also available on some gifts to or from a trust to avoid double taxation under IHT and CGT regimes.
As ever, your choice of trustees is hugely important. The usual rules apply when asking someone to help look after your affairs and it must be people in whom you have absolute confidence, and faith they will do the right thing for you.
It is important to hold open and honest discussions with your lawyer or advisory team about your ultimate goals and what you are looking to achieve from tax and financial planning. There might be two or three options, one of which may well be setting up a trust. HMRC is expanding its register later this year to include non-taxable trusts and it has never been more important to obtain professional advice as the administration work involved with trusts has increased in the last couple of years.
If you don’t provide all the required information and highlight with absolute clarity your desired outcomes, you may well get a ‘that depends’ answer.

Twitter is divided over Will Smith's Oscars ban, fans call decision ‘racist’
The Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts decided to ban Will Smith for 10 years from all its events after he slapped Chris Rock on stage last week
The Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts announced their decision to ban Will Smith from all its events (including the annual Oscars ceremony), on Friday night. Since then, Will has responded to the ban, accepting the Academy's decision. His fans, however, believe it to be too harsh.
Many took to Twitter to voice their disappointment. A few even called it racist, citing examples of how other, white actors, have still not been pulled up by the Academy for their inappropriate behaviour.
"I really feel like people have been waiting to catch Will Smith slipping for YEARS and now is their chance to crush him. A decade-long ban is nuts," wrote a fan. "The ten-year ban they gave Will Smith feels very 'make a lesson of this Black person'," commented another.
Another felt the ban was too long and too severe. "Sexual harassers and creeps from all over Hollywood will be awarded for their behaviour but one slap gets Will Smith a decade-long ban. He isn't in the right but it's telling that *this* is the action that received a big punishment."
Another wrote, "I'm sorry but this is racism at its finest. The Oscars didn't ban John Wayne after he tried to attack Sacheen Littlefeather, they haven't banned a single f**king paedophile or sex offender but they're quick to ban Will Smith."
"The Board of Governors has decided, for a period of 10 years, from 8 April, 2022, Mr Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards," the Academy announced on Friday, through an official statement.
Will, 53, will keep the Oscar he won this year for his role in King Richard.

India Comes to Sri Lanka's Rescue But Colombo Continues Seeking More Funds From China
India has rushed to assist Sri Lanka while China has been pressing for a Free Trade Agreement, thus, stopping their funding spree
As Sri Lanka’s economic crisis deepened, political instability erupted in the form of large-scale protests. Sri Lankans were irked by the government’s mismanagement of financial affairs, corruption and bad judgment on initiatives that backfired, leaving the country impoverished in terms of lacking foreign exchange reserves.
The situation has also rendered the Sri Lankan government unable to import paper for the printing of exam papers, and the print media is already feeling the strain of a paucity of paper for printing newspapers, with prominent newspapers issuing slim editions these days.
The people experienced ‘artificial’ interruptions in daily life on a scale never seen before in Sri Lanka’s history. Rising living prices, petrol, gasoline, and commodity shortages, and a lengthy power outage that began in January 2022, perplexed the world.
In this context, India has rushed to assist the island nation, while China has been pressing for a Free Trade Agreement thus stopping their funding spree, allowing Sri Lankan leaders to approach India for all of their needs, including loans and other items such as rice, fertilizer, maritime security equipment, train engines, and aide for Northern fishermen families.
The year 2022 can be defined as the year for India to rethink its role in Sri Lanka while also becoming a stronger and more mutually beneficial partner. Previously, India had its own political interests in Sri Lanka and had even earned the fury of the island nation, but that is no longer the case.
After China’s entry into the South Asian region through the Hambantota Port Project, India had to reconsider its regional power strategy and keep China at bay– both as a geostrategic adversary and as a source of border disputes.
Apart from assistance during the pandemic and fertiliser chaos, in which India delivered nano fertiliser to save Sri Lankan farmers, India has offered US$ 500 million in gasoline and a US$ 1 billion loan facility to purchase goods from India due to the current economic crisis. India recently pledged to donate medicines to Peradeniya Hospital, which was running low on supplies because purchasing medicines became impossible due to the US dollar crisis.
Prior to issuing the USD 1 billion loan, discussions were held in New Delhi. Indian Prime Minister Modi also met with Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa, who resigned on April 5, and asked why the India-funded Northern airport in Palaly and the Indian Cultural Centre in Jaffna, which was built with an Indian donation, were not available to the public.
It was claimed that PM Modi told the Minister that if he came to Sri Lanka, he would like to come through Palaly, hence the airport should remain operational.
The Indian government extended funds to establish a high-tech Cultural Centre in Jaffna, the Jaffna International Airport, and the Indian High Commissioner in Colombo Baglay recently paid a visit to the Northern fishermen to assess their needs.
The Indian High Commissioner has been too preoccupied with shuttling between Colombo and New Delhi, conveying signals from Sri Lankans to the Indian government, and has pushed India to supply everything to Sri Lanka strategically to keep China at bay.
India nodded and rushed to meet Sri Lanka’s needs without leaving a gap so that no other country would grab the opportunity.
On March 18, 2022, India made significant contributions to Sri Lanka’s defence sector. Sri Lanka has requested grant assistance for the supply of a 4,000 MT Floating Dock (FD) for the Sri Lanka Navy.
According to India, it goes beyond the current broad range of defence cooperation. The FD was built in Goa and will be primarily stationed in Trincomalee, while the dock may be moved around at the discretion of the Sri Lankan government with prior notice, except for the Port of Hambantota which is controlled by China. When the time comes to relocate it, India will examine the safety, economics, and the most efficient and effective use of the FD.
There will also be an India-Sri Lanka joint monitoring committee to be set up consisting of members from both Governments of India and Sri Lanka to review progress. The FD cost US$ 19.81 million and the payment will be made by the Indian Government to the seller in Goa and Sri Lanka is requested to clear it free of charge when it arrives in Colombo.
The Indian government then provides DO-228 Dornier Reconnaissance Aircraft for maritime surveillance. The Dornier is a multirole light transport aircraft with turboprop twin engines that can take off and land quickly. It has the capability to conduct maritime surveillance and search and rescue operations in and around Sri Lanka’s Exclusive Economic Zone. India said Sri Lanka is not subject to any financial obligations and the cost will be borne by India.
On March 15, 2022, Indian High Commissioner Gopal Bagle and Defence Secretary Kamal Gunaratne signed a grant covering this.
Furthermore, India stated that a US$ 100 million continuing Indian LOC has been completely committed to date for various defence projects, and hence no funding is available under this LOC for the proposed Dornier 228 aircraft procurement.
Furthermore, one Dornier aircraft will be provided as a grant, while another would be delivered through the Indian Credit Line. The Dornier DO-228 has a credit line of US$ 29.46 million, which will be financed in part by an Exim Bank credit facility, according to India.
Then there’s the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), created by Bharat Electronic Ltd India with a US$ 6 million grant. In fact, the MRCC is manufactured by BEL comprising standard equipment technical publications and spares built to the nomenclature. Also, an India-Sri Lanka Joint Monitoring Committee will be set up consisting of members from both governments.
India also signed an MoU for the establishment of modern computer labs and smart boards with customised curriculum software in schools in the Galle District.
Also, an MoU between the Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service, India, and the Bandaranaike International Diplomatic Training Institute was signed. Another MoU signed was on the implementation of a hybrid power project in the three northern islands after many controversies.
The Indians also approached Sri Lanka to sign an agreement in developing the fisheries harbours of Sri Lanka.
While India and Sri Lanka completed all of these agreements, China traded with Sri Lanka to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement. This was prompted by China’s announcement that it is willing to pay USD 2.5 billion to the Sri Lankan government if the FTA is signed, as proposed by China’s Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Qi Zhenhong.
Ambassador Qi told reporters last month that Beijing is providing a loan of USD 2.5 billion, of which 1 billion will be a loan and 1.5 billion will be a buyer’s credit.
While Ambassador Qi stated that China had signed 26 free trade agreements, he also stated that finalising the planned FTA between Sri Lanka and China would greatly help the local market and products in Sri Lanka. The Chinese Ambassador also briefed Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister, Prof. Peiris, on a number of humanitarian initiatives organised by the Chinese Embassy in Colombo for Buddhist monks and temples, as well as the distribution of 150 food packs to the poor.
The matter was extensively criticised in the Indian media after it was discovered that Sri Lanka had gone to China for a 2.5 billion dollar loan after obtaining loans from India. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will not limit itself to demanding assistance from these two countries, as it recognises that the two adversaries are its closest allies, and they will stand by Sri Lanka no matter what.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are in talks to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku, according to reports.
The 28-year-old has been somewhat of a flop since his £98million move to the Blues last summer.
He has found himself out of the side in recent weeks with Thomas Tuchel favouring Kai Havertz.
And he could have a chance to start a fresh challenge in France with his agent Mino Railo in talks with PSG sporting director Leandro about a move, according to But!.
The French champions-elect could be in need of a new forward in the summer amid speculation Kylian Mbappe could leave.
Mbappe's contract expires at the end of the season and he has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Lukaku has scored just five league goals this season but PSG have identified the Belgian as a possible replacement for Mbappe.
PSG are also reportedly considering moves for Ajax star Anthony and Amine Gouiri of Nice, who will likely come cheaper than Lukaku.
Chelsea could let the struggling strike leave on loan however, freeing up wages for a possible move for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
Meanwhile, Chelsea could be braced for bids for Jorginho this summer.

Which camera suction mounts are best?
A good camera suction mount can be leagues better than most other types of camera mounts, simply to the fact that no tools or gunky adhesives are required. You can install most suction mounts anywhere as well, from car dashboards to helmets or perhaps a boat. Not all camera suction mounts work with all cameras, so make sure you’re double-checking for compatibility.
A strong option that works with many different cameras is the Panavise ActionGrip 13130 Double-Knuckle Mount. This is an industrial-quality camera suction mount and, as such, is built to withstand the rigors of the roughest road conditions while staying firmly in place.
What to know before you buy a camera suction mount
Mount material
Camera suction mounts are light enough for maximum versatility but strong enough to hold both the weight of the camera and the weight of the mount itself. Commonly used materials for this purpose are aluminum, anodized zinc, ABS and PC or a composite.
Aluminum: A durable and rust-resistant material, though it is one of the heavier options.
Anodized zinc: Frequently combined with aluminum for extra sturdiness, anodized zinc is incredibly sturdy.
ABS and PC: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polycarbonate are perfect for high-speed activities like boating and biking thanks to their extreme ruggedness.
Composite: A combination of materials designed to find a balance between weight, durability and price.
Mounting
Not all cameras use the same method of attaching to mounts. Many will use a .25-20-inch mounting screw, but popular cameras like GoPros use their systems for attaching. Some camera suction mounts will include various adapters, while others might include a list of compatible cameras. At the very least, most camera suction mounts will have adapters you can buy separately later on.
What to look for in a quality camera suction mount
Weather resistance
For most camera suction mounts, once a seal has been made, you shouldn’t have to worry about any weather conditions except changing temperatures. Rain and wind, for example, won’t dislodge a good seal, but if the temperature drops, then the material of the seal will be affected, leading to a disconnection. Camera suction cups should include temperature ranges that at which they will remain effective.
Suction cups
The piece of your camera suction mount that does most of the work. Some camera suction mounts use more than one suction cup for greater strength, but that means you’ll need a larger surface area on which to stick them.
Rotation
Different camera suction mounts have different maximum rotation angles, with the very best offering full 360-degree rotating movement. You might not need full 360-degree rotation, but if you can’t point your camera, the direction you want to point it after it has adhered to your chosen surface, then you’ll wish you had gone with a 360-degree option.
How much you can expect to spend on a camera suction mount
Camera suction mounts are fairly affordable compared to the possible prices of the camera they’re mounting. You can find a low-end camera suction mount for as little as $10, but generally, you’ll want to spend $15-$30 for a solid quality option, while high-end camera suction mounts can get up to around $60.
Camera suction mount FAQ
Can I use my camera suction mount with my helmet?
Generally, camera suction mounts adhere to flat surfaces. However, some camera suction mounts with small-diameter suction cups with strong suction quality can and will stick and remain stuck to helmets. If you’re shopping specifically for sticking to a helmet, keep your focus on the smallest possible suction cups.
How heavy of a camera can the average camera suction mount hold?
Most camera suction mounts can hold cameras weighing between 4 and 10 pounds. However, depending on the specific camera suction mount in question, maximum weight bearing can hit maximums of 30 or more pounds with ease.
Will moistening the suction cup with water help to create a tighter seal?
Water will not help create a tighter seal. It can also lead to weakening the seal if the temperature around the seal and water changes. What does help if you want to strengthen the seal is to use a tiny amount of oil, just enough to dampen the surface.
What’s the best camera suction mount to buy?

For the last three to four months, there has not been a single day when road accidents did not occur in Rawalpindi. Truck drivers and young people drive recklessly. A few days ago, I was horrified to witness a dreadful accident. A young man was crushed to death when a speedy truck hit his bike. Such accidents happen daily in our city.
The traffic police should pay attention to such reckless and careless drivers who should be punished severely if they are involved in any road accidents.

Boliden to spend $530 mln on improving Aitik mine's tailings dam
STOCKHOLM, April 11 (Reuters) - Miner Boliden said on Monday it would spend 5 billion Swedish crowns ($530 million) over the next two years on works on the tailings dam at its Aitik copper mine in northern Sweden.
"Areas with poorer soil conditions than previously estimated have been identified. Additional dam heightening and deposition of tailings against dams in these areas has therefore been suspended," it said in a statement.
"Ongoing geo-technical investigations in Aitik show the need to eventually change to a new dam construction method to ensure long-term disposal of tailings. In addition, there is a need to strengthen the current dam construction."
Boliden said it did not expect production at the northern Swedish open-pit mine to be affected as tailings could continue to be deposited in other parts of the pond during the works.
The Swedish company now sees group investments totalling just over 11 billion crowns in 2022, up from previously communicated just over 10 billion. ($1 = 9.4405 Swedish crowns) (Reporting by Anna Ringstrom; Editing by Simon Johnson, Kirsten Donovan)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mark Kotsay had a game ball on his desk and an Oakland Athletics uniform that reeked of beer in the hamper. Kotsay needed to change into shorts after his players sprayed him with suds for winning his first game as a big league manager.
In what could be a long season in Oakland, which is in rebuilding mode again, Kotsay will take the celebrations when they come.
“I haven’t had one of those since my rookie year,” he said of the alcohol shower.
Billy McKinney homered and Daulton Jefferies and four relievers combined on a three-hitter to lead the A’s past the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Sunday and avert a three-game sweep.
A’s catcher Austin Allen gave Kotsay the celebratory game ball.
“Kots is awesome. He’s like having another player out there,” Allen said. “He’s just leading the ship. His energy and everything is amazing. We all couldn’t be happier for him to be our manager and to get his first win for him.”
Kotsay, 46, was promoted from third base coach to manager and replaced Bob Melvin.
The A’s shut down a Phillies offense that scored 13 runs in the first two games of the series. The Phillies’ only two hits through the first five innings came from backups Garrett Stubbs and Johan Camargo.
Jean Segura hit his second homer off the season for the Phillies in the ninth off Lou Trivino.
Jefferies (1-0) tossed two-hit ball over five scoreless innings before he was yanked after he issued a leadoff walk in the sixth. Sam Moll, Domingo Acevedo and Kirby Snead tossed three shutout innings.
A’s pitchers threw eight or fewer pitches in four innings.
“I didn’t really have a problem with that because I felt we hit a number of balls hard,” Phillies manager Joe Girardi said.
Tony Kemp’s two-RBI single in the ninth that made it 4-0 sent most of what was left of 33,507 fans headed toward the exits on a chilly, windy day at the ballpark.
Elvis Andrus hit a one-out double off Bailey Falter (0-1) and scored on Seth Brown’s bloop single to left in the sixth that gave Oakland its first lead of the season.
McKinney, who became the 1,000th player in Oakland A’s history on Friday, hit a solo shot to right off Falter in the seventh. The 1,000-player milestone marks major history for the A’s in Oakland — even more than in Philadelphia. The A’s are in their 55th season in Oakland after playing 54 years in Philadelphia, from 1901-1954 (the A’s spent 13 years in Kansas City).
Phillies starter Zach Eflin, acquired from the Dodgers in 2014 in the Jimmy Rollins trade, made his first start since July 16 against Miami. He was scratched from his next scheduled start because of what the Phillies said was tendinitis in his right knee. The injury turned out worse than expected for the right-hander: Eflin had surgery in September to repair a tear in his right patellar tendon.
“It’s just one of those scenarios where I just have to remind myself what I’ve been though this offseason,” Eflin said. “It felt nice to get the training wheels off and move out there with no limitations.”
Eflin still needs time to build arm strength and return to form but was solid over 68 pitches and four shutout innings. He escaped his only jam in the third inning when he loaded the bases with no outs. Andrus lined one back to Eflin that he caught and whirled around to double Christian Pache off second. He retired Sean Murphy on a popup to keep the game scoreless.
SO FRESH, SO CLEAN
“I did shower for you guys.” — Kotsay to the media after a delay for his postgame news conference.
HEAVEN SENT
Girardi and the Phillies might have a little help from above this season.
Well, at least from Girardi’s top shelf inside the manager’s office, where a Sister Jean bobblehead keeps watch. Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt has become the face of Loyola Chicago during the NCAA Tournament, and her figurine is part of Girardi’s collection as an inside joke.
Girardi played at Northwestern and remained close with his catching coach, Bob Behrns, who didn’t exactly pick Loyola to win it all.
“Bobby didn’t believe in the power of Sister Jean,” Girardi said with a laugh.
Behrns told him, “C’mon, there’s other Catholic and Christian schools playing in this.”
Girardi’s retort, “Sister Jean’s got like a hundred years on them.”
Girardi turned to an inside source to have fun at Behrns’ expense. Girardi asked his old coach’s son, Loyola sports information director Bill Behrns, for two bobbleheads — one for Girardi and his office and another “just to rub it in” and send to the former catching coach.

Maryland lawmakers voted over the weekend to override Gov. Larry Hogan's veto of a bill that would allow health practitioners outside of physicians — including nurse practitioners, midwives and physician's assistants — to perform abortions.
Maryland House members voted 90-46 on Saturday to reverse the governor's decision, while state Senate members voted 29-15.
Hogan is a Republican, while the majority of both the state's chambers are Democrats. The bill will now become law and take effect on July 1.
House Bill 937, known as the Abortion Care Access Act, says that "qualifying providers" include those whose medical licenses or certifications include the performance of abortions.
"Thank you so much to my House colleagues for voting to override the Governor's veto on my legislation to protect our public health officials from undue political influence," said Democratic House Delegate Joseline A. Pena-Melnyk on Twitter. "It is imperative that we guide our policy by science."
In his veto, Hogan wrote that "The bill risks lowering the high standard of reproductive health care services received by women in Maryland. These procedures are complex, and can, and often do, result in significant medical complications that require the attention of a licensed physician."
Bill seeks to racially diversify the pool of providers performing abortions
The bill also establishes the Abortion Care Clinical Training Program, in which the state must contract an organization to develop abortion care training programs at at least two community sites.
The bill has $3.5 million going to the program each year.
The purpose of the program is to "expand the number of health care professionals with abortion care training and increase the racial and ethnic diversity among health care professionals with abortion care training," the bill says.
The Maryland Health Department may not disclose who is participating in the program. The contracted organization, which must be a nonprofit and have previous experience coordinating abortion programs, must submit an annual report to the health department.
Providers cannot perform abortions on minors, though exceptions apply
In most cases, a physician or other qualified provider cannot carry out an abortion on an unmarried minor without giving notice to the minor's parent or guardian.
However, a medical provider can bypass parental permission if the minor doesn't live with their parent or guardian and "a reasonable effort to give notice to a parent or guardian is unsuccessful," the bill says.
The procedure can also be greenlighted if the medical provider has reason to believe the minor would suffer abuse after notifying a parent, the minor is "mature and capable of giving informed consent to an abortion," or if requesting permission simply isn't in the minor's "best interest," according to the bill.
At what stage of a pregnancy can providers perform an abortion?
The bill does not specify at what number of weeks an abortion can no longer be performed, but it defines a "viable" pregnancy as one in which a medical provider determines "there is a reasonable likelihood of the fetus's sustained survival outside the womb."
The bill says the state cannot intervene on a woman's decision to have an abortion before the fetus is viable, or at any other time during a woman's pregnancy if an abortion is deemed necessary to save a woman's life or health, or if the baby "is affected by genetic defect or serious deformity or abnormality."
Will abortions in Maryland be covered by insurance?
Qualifying insurers under the bill are insurers, nonprofits and health maintenance organizations that provide labor and delivery coverage under state healthcare policies or contracts.
Insurers who fall within these parameters must cover abortions without demanding a deductible, coinsurance, copayment or "any other cost-sharing requirement," according to the bill.
They must also inform consumers about covered abortion services by explicitly using "abortion care" in their language.
Insurers that do not qualify include multistate plans that don't provide abortion coverage, a high-deductible plan or an organization that is eligible for an exclusion from abortion coverage.

‘No minister in FCT’ – Residents lament as taxi drivers double fares, number of passengers
Passengers in Abuja have lamented the increasing hardship, suffering and humiliation they face in the hands of commercial taxi drivers in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Some of the residents, who could no longer hold their anger, go as far as believing there is no functional administration in the FCT.
Findings by DAILY POST revealed that the suffering of commuters in the FCT has increased dramatically since a few months ago following the fuel scarcity that hit some parts of the country.
Some of them are of the opinion that things have never been this worse in the history of the country.
Apart from the persistent collapse of the national grid which has led to perennial total blackout, the most painful is the fuel scarcity, which has led to unprecedented hikes in prices of cooking gas, diesel, Jet Ai fuel, and others.
And commercial drivers in the FCT have now seen it as an opportunity to exploit passengers.
Apart from increasing the transport fare by more than hundred percent, they have also increased the number of passengers.
DAILY POST’s findings show that taxi drivers in Abuja now squeeze four passengers into their back seats and force another two to sit in a tiny space in the front seat. And this happens in almost all the motor parks in the FCT without any government official doing something about it.
But experts have warned of the danger inherent in overloading vehicles, with most of them blaming both the FCTA, the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, and the Vehicle Inspection Officers, VIO.
According to FRSC’s website, there are 22 duties of the FRSC. And these functions include and not restricted to:
“Making the highway safe for motorists and other road users, recommending works and devices designed to eliminate or minimize accidents on the highways, advising the Federal and State Governments including the Federal Capital Territory Administration and relevant governmental agencies on the localities where such works and devices are required.”
They are also responsible for “educating motorists and members of the public on the importance of discipline on the highway, preventing or minimizing accidents on the highway.
“Educating drivers, motorists and other members of the public generally on the proper use of the highways and cooperating with bodies or agencies or groups in road safety activities or in prevention of accidents on the highways.
“Regulating the use of mobile phones by motorists and regulating the use of seat belts and other safety devices, among many others.”
For the VIO, and most importantly too, they are supposed to maintain sanity on Nigerian roads and highways, among other functions.
A road transport expert in the Ministry of Transportation, who pleaded anonymity, told DAILY POST that, “Actually we have seen many terrible outcomes from overloading vehicles. First of all, it increases the number of casualties during accidents.”
According to him, no matter from which angle you look at it, overloading a car is a crime, irrespective of the distance and the road the person is driving on.
“And we expect the agencies in charge of road movements in Abuja to stop this practice,” he said.
He further explained that, “when a car is overloaded, the braking system and its acceleration are affected adversely”, adding that “every single gram of extra weight bothers the suspension and tyres of the car.”
The expert explained further that “this situation could lead to a major catastrophe, such as air in the tyres to blowout off the bat,” adding that “the car becomes more difficult to steer when it has more weight.”
“I’m pleading with the FRSC, the VIO and other relevant agencies in the FCT to bring back sanity on our roads.
“We know things are hard but we shouldn’t risk our lives and those of others just to make more money. Motorists in Abuja should be advised and educated by the relevant agencies to do what is right,” he pleaded.
Also speaking to DAILY POST on the matter, Mallam Abdulla, a senior road transport worker in Abuja, accused the various agencies of not doing enough to make Abuja stand as an example to the rest of the States.
According to him, “It is a dereliction of duty. People are not doing what they are paid every month with taxpayer’s money to do. Beginning from the FCT minister. He is like the governor of Abuja and everything falls on his table. What is he doing or what has his office done to minimize the sufferings of Nigerians living under his administration.
“Before we talk about the FRCS, the VIO and other regulatory agencies, let’s talk about the dead administration in the FCT. They’re not working. I work in a park, ask me, how many times do they visit the major parks such as this? They only send their boys to come and trouble people and collect revenues, that’s all.
“They don’t care how many passengers you’re carrying in a small vehicle. To some of my colleagues, this is a welcome development. But for me, I know something is wrong. For the FRSC and VIO officials, my brother, you know this government is very harsh on people, so, I believe everyone is busy looking for survival instead of doing their work.”
Some commercial drivers also spoke to our correspondent, blaming the situation on the government.
Adedamola Adedeji, who plies the Kubwa-Airport Junction Highway, said, “Well, passengers are always thinking that we the drivers are wicked.
“They forget that as I’m charging you, so is someone else charging my family members and relations. It’s a general thing. Some days ago, fuel was scarce everywhere and we suffered so much. You don’t expect me to buy black market of N5000 or more and carry passengers for N100. The government is not helping anybody.
“How much do they sell a litre of fuel now and how much was it three years ago? See my brother, the problem is not fuel alone. What of the motor parts and engine oil? The engine oil we used to buy for N3500 is now N8000. A motor part we bought for N1000 a few months back, go now they’ll tell you N5000. Passengers should channel the blame to the government and not the drivers.
“To service the car now, I must be prepared to spend N10000 instead of N4000 I usually spent. Nigerians should blame whatever has made the prices of goods and services skyrocket. Not the commercial drivers.”
A passenger, who gave his name as Emeka Ihiema, spoke to our reporter at Berger roundabout. According to him, there should be no excuse for overloading vehicles.
“The FCTA administration has failed. Not only in the regulation of transportation. How many street lights are working in the FCT? I can boldly say that the minister has performed woefully. It seems to me that he is just waiting for this administration to end so that he dusts himself and walks away. Commercial vehicle owners in Abuja humiliate passengers.
“They put two passengers in the front seat and 4 at the back and yet no one has stopped any driver on the way and charged them for overloading. They did not only increase the passengers they carry, they also hiked the fare.
“Some places that passengers used to pay N100, they now collect N250. Like from here [Berger Under Bridge] to Lugbe is now N200 and from Lugbe to Wuse, they’ll charge you N250 to N300. Nobody is regulating anything. Imagine the government leaving its citizens at the mercy of fellow citizens? My brother, that’s the situation on ground.”
Another passenger, Jessica Oluwaseyi, said, “Both the VIO, FRSC and the FCT ministry have not been doing their jobs. At some point, I thought there was no minister in the FCT. Nothing is actually working here.
“I think the Minister was more active during the COVID-19 period. What the VIO does in Abuja is to stop vehicles and collect money from drivers. When they sight overloaded vehicles, they look the other way. This is the same with the FRSC.
“Almost all the motor parks in Abuja now encourage overloading and overcharging of passengers and we have a government that only cares about those in the corridors of power.”

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that former Broncos RB Melvin Gordon is in discussions with the Baltimore Ravens about a potential deal. (Ian Rapoport, NFL Network ) Gordon, who’s the top available RB still on the market, would add to a potentially crowded backfield in Baltimore if he were to sign with the Ravens. Baltimore was plagued by injuries at the running back position in 2021 with JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards both suffering season ending injuries in the preseason, but both players are expected to be ready for the 2022 campaign. Gordon, Dobbins, and Edwards would all likely contribute in the rushing game and Gordon would be the favorite to see the bulk of the passing down work, though Baltimore hasn’t been an offense that gives many targets to the RB position. If Gordon were to sign, Dobbins and Gordon should be viewed as no better than mid to low end RB2’s, possibly RB3’s depending on how the workloads shake out. In Denver, fantasy managers rejoice with this news, as this would provide a clear path for Javonte Williams to catapult into RB1 territory.

New Delhi [India], April 11 (ANI): Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on Monday joined the ongoing protest by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) at the Telangana Bhavan against the alleged "discriminatory policy" of procurement of foodgrains.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is leading the protest, and he's joined by the TRS leaders.
Speaking to the media, TRS MLC K Kavitha, daughter of the Telangana Chief Minister, urged the Centre to procure the crop and demanded a common procurement policy for the country.
"Our farmers are not getting the right price. We request the Central government to procure paddy from our state. We demand a common procurement policy. Rakesh Tikait has earlier also talked to CM K Chandrashekar Rao over agricultural issues and he has come here to support us," Kavitha said.

The TRS MPs, MLCs, MLAs and other elected representatives are taking part in the "dharna" while raising claims that the "Centre's policy is discriminatory towards Telangana farmers".
Recently, the TRS workers had blocked four National Highways in Telangana to press their demand for a "uniform" procurement policy in the country. The party decided to protest in Delhi in their bid to raise the issue at the national level.
Earlier on Sunday, addressing the media, Kavitha said that the food security of the country will be endangered if there is no 'uniform procurement' policy by the Centre.
On March 24, Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Piyush Goyal assured farmers of Telangana that there is absolutely no discrimination among the farmers from different states and added that some politicians in Telangana are misleading the farmers in the state.
The Telangana government has been pressing the Centre for the procurement of the entire paddy produced in the state. Last year, a delegation of Ministers from the state had even met union Ministers to make a clear announcement on paddy procurement, including the quantity. (ANI)

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s economic growth slowed in February amid declines in the production of cars, computers and chemicals.
Gross domestic product increased just 0.1% from a month earlier, down from the 0.8% growth reported in January, the Office for National Statistics said Monday.
The output of productive industries, including manufacturing, mining and power generation, dropped 0.6% in the month. Construction fell 0.1%. Those declines largely offset an increase in service industries, driven by an 8.6% jump in accommodation and food services.
Monthly GDP is now 1.5% above pre-pandemic levels, the ONS said. While services output is 2.1% higher than in February 2020. Construction is up 1.1%, while manufacturing and production are 1.9% below pre-pandemic levels.
Service industries account for about 80% of the U.K.’s economic output.

Now Is Biden's Only Time to Come Clean: Huge Cache of Deleted Documents Reportedly Being Recovered from Laptop
Little did Hunter Biden know when he stumbled into a Wilmington, Delaware, computer repair shop to drop off his damaged laptop that three years later it would produce a seemingly endless series of embarrassing and potentially incriminating headlines and cast a shadow over his father’s presidency.
We already know that much of what has been reported from “the laptop from hell” seems to violate the laws of both man and the Almighty.
On Wednesday, however, we learned that a whistleblower is working with a team of information technology experts to recover a whopping 450 gigabytes of deleted material said to contain “80,000 images and videos and more than 120,000 archived emails,” according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
The whistleblower, Jack Maxey, is a Republican activist and former co-host of Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast. In October 2020, he and Bannon received a copy of the laptop’s hard drive.
Maxey told the Daily Mail he and his team are conducting their work in Zurich because he fears retaliation from the Biden administration. He explained that last year, after he’d distributed copies of the hard drive to lawmakers, including Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and several media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and the Daily Mail, black Suburbans began to appear outside his home.
“I came here so that we could do a forensic examination of Hunter’s laptop safely in a country that still respects human liberty and the ideals of liberal democratic principles,” Maxey said. “I do not believe this would have been possible inside the United States.”
Maxey continued, “Very dear friends of mine, the sharp tip of the spear, were making welfare calls to me every day, basically to see if I was still alive.”
Whistleblower who handed over Hunter Biden’s laptop reveals he has 450 gigabytes of DELETED material https://t.co/IUjQni5qKW pic.twitter.com/YtFtPcQoYW
— Daily Mail US (@DailyMail) April 6, 2022
He said that he’d also given copies to several “former U.S. intelligence officer friends” who later “received strange calls.” Maxey said one of them told him, “If you don’t release enough of this, so that they know you can release all of it, I’m telling you, brother, you’re a dead man.”
In October 2020, Maxey posted some of the laptop’s contents on file sharing sites, but the links were quickly taken down. He believes the U.S. government was responsible for this.
“There were five drop boxes: two in the United States, one in New Zealand, two in the U.K.,” he told the Daily Mail. “All the same drop boxes in which they tell us child pornography is shared around the globe without any consequence because they can’t look at it.”
“These are all Five Eyes countries, English-speaking countries in an intelligence-sharing agreement. And they were all ripped down.
‘”So this means that our intelligence services, who still have not even acknowledged that they have Hunter Biden’s laptop, were obviously diligently doing cache searches across the internet to find out if any of this stuff was being released.
“That should terrify every single decent person in the West.”
Maxey said the only file-sharing site not to remove the files he posted in October 2020 was Swiss Transfer, which he said was why he and his team were working in Switzerland.
The Daily Mail noted it was not able to confirm these claims.
Maxey has promised to post all the data his team is able to recover online “in a searchable database in the coming weeks.”
Although President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied knowing the details of any of his son’s foreign business dealings, emails and photographs from the laptop appear to suggest otherwise.
If Biden expects truly damning material to be recovered, now would be the best time for him to address this in a truthful manner. His window of opportunity to get ahead of this news is dwindling.
Maxey might come up empty-handed. The recovered content could turn out to be the kinds of things you and I delete from our computers every day, items such as junk emails, files we no longer need and photos we don’t particularly like.
On the other hand, it could reveal further evidence of Biden family corruption and even proof of the president’s direct knowledge of, or even his involvement in, his son’s overseas business deals.
This story has rocketed to the forefront of the national conversation, with even some establishment media outlets finally covering it.
There was a time when Biden could simply deny it, but the tide appears to be turning.
The American people need to know. This is a matter of national security.

MANILA, Philippines – The seven-member Commission on Elections en banc gave Chairman Saidamen Pangarungan the power to unilaterally grant gun ban exemptions and place election areas under Comelec control “in urgent and meritorious cases,” although three outvoted commissioners had opposed the move.
The amendment is contained in a recalibrated version of Comelec Resolution No. 10728, which details election gun ban rules and regulations.
Pangarungan and commissioners George Garcia, Aimee Torrefranca-Neri, and Rey Bulay voted in favor of the new resolution while commissioners Socorro Inting, Marlon Casquejo, and Aimee Ferolino – either “dissented or expressed their reservations,” according to a Comelec press release.
The Chairman justified the move, promising that the power to impose Comelec control on certain areas of election concern will be “exercised sparingly.”
“For example, if there was a shooting in Lanao del Sur, and many were killed, does it mean I have to wait for another week to convene the committee on the ban on firearms and security concerns (CBFSC) to declare the area under Comelec control? That is an urgent and meritorious case,” Pangarungan said in a press conference on Monday, April 11.
“I will only exercise that power upon recommendation of the chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the chief of the Philippine National Police,” he guaranteed.
Pangarungan has yet to place an area under Comelec control on his own, he noted.
Gun ban exemptions
The Comelec also moved to automatically exempt the following from the gun ban:
- Vice President
- senators
- House lawmakers
- Supreme Court justices
- justices of the Court of Appeals, Sandiganbayan, and the Court of Tax Appeals
- justices of the lower courts
- cabinet secretaries, undersecretaries, and assistant secretaries
- Ombudsman, deputy ombudsmen, and investigators and prosecutors of the Ombudsman
- prosecutor general, chief state prosecutor, state prosecutors, and prosecutor
- National Bureau of Investigation officials and organic agents
- election officers, provincial election supervisors, and regional election directors
Pangarungan said the modification on gun ban rules seeks to make sure no life will be lost from an armed assailant just because he is unable to defend himself with his own firearm due to the gun ban.
“I was cabinet secretary before. I applied for exemption in December 2021, but it was not granted. When the election period kicked off on January 9, my security detail was removed. I was going around the country on my mandate, for the anti-terrorism program of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos,” Pangarungan also recounted in a mix of English and Filipino.
The Comelec listed the following requirements for those who are given automatic exemption from the gun ban:
- they already possess a valid license to own and possess firearms (LTOPF)
- they have a valid permit to carry firearms outside of residence (PTCFOR)
- they submit the list of firearms and qualified security detail to Comelec’s CBFSC on or before April 19
- they do not carry two firearms
The gun ban will last until June 8, the end of election period. – Rappler.com

Neighbourhood, not Ukraine war, should be India’s priority now
At a time when there are suggestions for India to play a peacemaker's role in the Ukraine war, the South Asian neighbourhood — from Pakistan on the land-side to Sri Lanka on the Oceanfront — is in trouble
Irony but true. At a time when there are suggestions, if not outright calls, for India to play a peacemaker's role between warring Russia and Ukraine in distant Europe, the South Asian neighbourhood is in trouble. Simultaneously, Pakistan on the land-side with a long adversarial history and Sri Lanka on the oceanfront, seen as getting friendlier than any time in this century, are facing political instability. Maldives, the one neighbour that has boldly declared an ‘India First’ foreign policy, is faced with an ‘India Out’ campaign simultaneously as if the unending internal squabble within the MDP leader of the ruling coalition were not enough.
It is tempting and even exhilarating for Indians to think that the world wants us in Europe, to mediate between Russia and Ukraine. Considering that Europe had colonised us until not very long ago, and Moscow had played peacemaker between India and Pakistan, to end the war in 1965, surely, we have come a long way, in global affairs. Or, so would every Indian think, and is also entitled to conclude.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was spot on when he told Parliament that India (and Indians) “should be less concerned about “giving gyan” to others in the world over foreign policy and should look at the national interest, play its role and make its contribution”. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador TS Tirumurti, said while abstaining from the General Assembly vote suspending Russia from UNHRC-Geneva, “If India has chosen any side, it is the side of peace.”
Unacknowledged, the present government’s foreign policy is a return to the Nehruvian middle-of-the-course model, despite whatever ruling BJP leaders may have said about it all in the past. If nothing else, they are careful not to condemn the overall approach of Nehruvian foreign policy — though they may return, sooner than later, to criticise Nehru’s Kashmir and Tibetan policies, not necessarily in that order.
Tempting, untested
New Delhi needs to be cautious to tread the untested path, however tempting it may be. Visions of grandeur should be tempered by realities of the immediate circumstances. For instance, independent of party or leader in power, India has consistently desisted the offer of third-party assistance to talk out historic differences with Pakistan, and even China up to a point. If today, India wants to play a moderator’s role in someone else’s troubles, it should be prepared for similar third-party intervention in its neighbourhood problems, which is often touted as ‘tensions between nuclear weapons neighbours’.

The meta-narrative about India’s non-involvement in the Ukraine imbroglio
India’s abstinence from UN Security Council vote on Ukraine was the right decision
***
Today, the national consensus, as brought out in Parliament, is for continuing with the current Indian position on the Russo-Ukrainian war, for instance. If it has to change in any substantive form or shape, then the government may have to take Parliament, and through Parliament, the nation, into confidence. It would be even more so if the issue is for allowing third-nation, or even third-party intervention, even if of the UN variety (for argument’s sake) to facilitate/moderate, India-Pakistan or India-China dispute-resolution talks.
It is for such reasons — and those reasons are reasonable and justifiable — that India should stay away from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as even the just-now unclear kind of solution, including border changes, could be thrust upon us, on a later day, as a model worth considering/following in our own backyard. On paper, the war favours Russia now, but the end-game may produce a different perspective.
This is not to rule out the even more increasing possibility of India getting drawn into an avoidable Russo-American conflict until we as a nation is prepared to face the challenges and fallouts. Just now the US-backed UNGA resolution sacking Russia from the UNHRC should be enough provocation for Moscow to act wildly. Russia has no use for the UNHRC than as a voting member or an influence-peddler on behalf of third nations, just as China has the interests of its ‘client States’ to take care of.
It may make sense for the two biggies as also their dependents to quit UNHRC, if not the UN, before being asked. It may sound impossible, yes, but if nations like India are to consider a mediator’s role, they may end up having to weigh such possibilities, and definitely get involved in Russo-American big-guys’ battle of wits, where Moscow would want the UNHRC resolution withdrawn, and President Joe Biden withdrawing and apologising for calling Putin ‘butcher’, ‘war-criminal’, etc.
It cannot be part of India’s own terms of reference if it were to think of a role to find a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine War, but after part-meeting the Russian concerns, which continues to be of no concern to the US and its NATO allies. In a way, if Ukraine were to offer guarantees that Russia wanted on its joining NATO, and if Russia were to end bombing Ukraine, then the war ends there. There have been hitches yet, hence the war is continuing despite hopeful negotiations, already being facilitated by common neighbour Turkey, from the same Eurasian region.
Outlandish suggestions
There are also outlandish suggestions, flowing from the strategic possibilities of our part of the world re-drawing the emerging global order, if and if only India could resolve its problems with China and Pakistan. Until before Doklam and more so Galwan, China was believed/known to have suggested a tripartite, also involving Pakistan, to sort of ‘trilateral’ border issues, so as to usher in permanent peace and prosperity in the sub-continent.
‘Trilateral’, it’s in Chinese perception, as it involves Aksai Chin, which is a part of Pakistani-occupied Kashmir (PoK) that Islamabad gifted away to Beijing, and where they together built the Karakoram Highway first, and the debt-trap of a BRI project, since. The latter was among the main reasons why India stayed away from the BRI launch function in Beijing, circa 2017. It’s also among the major reasons, as in the case of Sri Lanka and many other Third World nations, where China’s ‘debt-trap diplomacy’ of ‘jobless growth’ in the initial years, ruined those economies.
There is thus enough to speculate on Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s rushed visit to New Delhi, that too in the midst of unending visitor-endearments in and to New Delhi, at times bordering on warnings, if not threats. This is not to count on the possible role of Russia in an India-China conflict situation. It is doubtful if the West would be wooing India as much but for its current membership of the UNSC, in an elected seat, whose term ends this year-end.
Of course, the US in particular is peeved at the real possibility of its uncanny knack of opening the can of worms now leading up to the devaluation of the American dollar as the global reserve currency, if and if only ‘friendly nations’ like India were to buy oil from Russia, side-stepping the traditional dollar route. In consequence, the carefully-crafted American initiatives like the Quad and Indo-Pacific, to counter a rising China, based on the belief that post-Cold War Russia is passe’, could suffer — and at times for good.
Does it all indicate that behind the scenes, Russia and China want India on their sides and that the latter would be willing to make concessions if that helps. The recent utterances of Pakistan army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa that they should talk out all disputes, including Kashmir, with India, may not be a stand-alone suggestion. Bajwa’s comments came in the midst of Pakistan’s internal political crisis, where in the past the army has had the tendency to indicate to the outside world that it’s still the real boss. For his part, discredited ex-prime minister Imran Khan, too, has taken a surprisingly new line that outside powers (meaning the US?) would threaten India on foreign policy issues as he claimed that they had done in the case of Pakistan under his care.
In saying what he said, Gen Bajwa has said that Indian leaders are stubborn. Maybe, his nation, whoever is in charge, can demonstrate that it means business by beginning with the thorniest of all issues for the past decades. More than Kashmir in a way, it’s cross-border terrorism. Pakistan will have to begin by handing over those in the ‘List of 21’ that then Indian Home Minister LK Advani had handed over to visiting Pakistan President, the by- now discredited Pervez Musharraf, at the unsuccessful Agra Summit, 2001.
Traditional sphere of influence
In any other region of the world, a nation of India’s size(s) with neighbours who have inherent limitations and acquired problems as India’s would have been welcome to help sort of domestic issues of the kind a few of them is facing just now. Not for India despite the government’s pronounced ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy, which it has been practising for long, but more to the point during and after the Covid-19 pandemic stuck the world as a whole.
With Pakistan, India has historical adversity dating back to Independence and Partition and also the four wars that Islamabad lost, and the ‘zero war’ option that they invented to inflict terrorist damage on the larger neighbour. Even more critical to the restoration of normalcy in bilateral ties is terrorism, which has subsided since India’s ‘Surgical Strikes’ but has not ended, all the same.
After a long gap, Sri Lanka was seen as becoming policy-neutral between India and China, especially post-Covid, when New Delhi has been rushing fiscal and commodity assistance of every conceivable kind, no thanks to the economic mess that it had created for itself through decades. The political mess that has now overtaken the non-existent action plans threatens political stability and economic recovery, all the same. India cannot be seen as either advising the nation from its past economic management at the height of the 1990 forex crisis, nor dream of engaging itself in internal peace-making.
Maldives is another story, where again, India has all the interest about the stability and security of the existing order, as different from existing rulers or any other — but, such a helpful attitude is unwelcomed and is even despised by the political Opposition, under former President Abdulla Yameen.
The irony is India has stakes in the political stability and consequent, economic and strategic security of each of these nations, including Pakistan, but can do nothing about it. With India’s name being brought out to build peace in the Russo-Ukraine conflict, New Delhi cannot even urge such other nations, big or small, to step in sort out issues in each of these nations. Either one or all stake-holders in these countries is not going to accept it — embarrassing India, domestically, regionally and on the global theatre.
Thus, for India to foray into international peace diplomacy of the kind being talked about, it has to regain the global acknowledgement of South Asia/IOR as ‘India’s traditional sphere of influence’. It was politico-strategic conferment that came with Independence. It was allowed be lost in the post-Cold War, post-reforms era, which the current ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy neither has restored nor even sought to restore. All things, good and bad, have to begin at home. And for India, South Asia and the IOR is home. The rest of the world can, and should wait!

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ladder, the company offering flexible life insurance in minutes, today released "Crocodile," the second installation of its "So Good" brand campaign — a series of humorous and memorable films built around the unique consumer insight that almost 1 in 2 couples with life insurance joke about taking each other out for the payout.
Created in partnership with creative/culture agency FRED & FARID Los Angeles and award-winning director and costume designer Casey Storm (of Spike Jonze and David Fincher credits), the new film stars the Ladder mom unleashing another inventive plot on her beloved husband: this time with the ruse of a romantic parental rendezvous and a little help from a crocodile. Once again, dad escapes the outlandish trap (mostly) unphased, retorting "I'm ok, guys!" with his signature happy-go-lucky demeanor.
With the continuation of this daring campaign and its innovative digital life insurance product, Ladder is cementing its position as the unavoidable disruptor in life insurance — attracting a new generation of consumers and flipping traditional life insurance rhetoric on its head to create easy and open conversations within families.
To champion these conversations, the "Crocodile" spot leads to a landing page with additional videos featuring the So Good cast: a delightful series of father-daughter interview sessions that cover the basics of life insurance. By centering these discussions, Ladder is further shifting life insurance away from a taboo topic to appreciating it as a crucial part of every family dynamic.
"We feel so lucky to have such an amazing client partner. They understand the power of creativity and are willing to take risks and to be bold and disruptive. We hope to continue to capitalize on the success of the campaign with many more films," says FRED & FARID Los Angeles creative agency.
"I love this campaign," says Casey Storm. "For me as a director, the scripts and the campaign are a home run. I've heard how effective the last campaign was and I'm sure this next devilish round will be equally successful at raising brand awareness and making people smile."
"Crocodile is about more than the next installment in our campaign," says Olivia Borsje, VP of Marketing at Ladder. "It's representative of the way Ladder is revolutionizing life insurance for customers — not only through product and distribution innovation, but also through brand. Giving digital consumers a fresh way to re-engage with the category is fundamental to achieving our mission of making life insurance as affordable, accessible, and beloved as it should be."
Ladder's "Crocodile" spot is now live across the country on digital platforms and TV networks.

WATCH: Rory McIlroy's magical hole-out from bunker in Masters final round
Rory McIlroy finished his US Masters final round on a high when he carded a 64 on Sunday, which rewarded him with a second place finish at Augusta.
The world number seven finished three shots off the winner Scottie Scheffler but was happy to match the lowest final round in tournament history.
“I will come up a little bit short, but I gave it a great go and I can’t ask any more of myself. I went out there today, shot my best ever score at Augusta and it’s going to be my best finish ever," McIlroy said after his final round.
The County Down native holed out a magnificent bunker shot on the 18th to secure a round of 64 and earn him a runners-up position at the most prestigious golf major in the game - a major which McIlroy is still searching for to complete the career grand slam.
Watch the brilliant bunker hole-out below:
What a way to finish. McIlroy holes out on No. 18 to put pressure on the leader. #themasters pic.twitter.com/L5fWWbR9cj
