Junk bond yields actually fell over the past month and are historically low.
By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.
The yields of US Treasuries have spiked in recent months to multi-year highs, and mortgage rates have spiked, and yields of investment-grade corporate bonds have spiked, and bond funds have served up losses to their investors, and investors in conservative long-term bond funds have taken the biggest hit – for example, the price of the iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF [TLT] has plunged 27% since July 2020 – and all kinds of mayhem has broken loose in the bond market.
Except in junk bonds, and especially in the riskiest sections of the junk bond market, where a maniacal chase for yield continues to rage as yield-chasers don’t think that the Fed’s tightening applies to junk bonds, when in fact it applies to junk bonds a lot more than investment grade corporate bonds or Treasury securities because it will tighten financial conditions – that’s the Fed’s expressed goal – which will make it more difficult for many of these junk-rated companies to issue new debt to service and pay off existing debts, which is what keeps these companies that make up the riskier end of the spectrum from defaulting on their existing debts.
So here we go…
The two-year Treasury yield jumped to 2.53% by Friday, the highest since the 2018 rate-hike phase, and before then the highest since July 2008 as the Financial Crisis was beginning to fully blossom.
The 10-year Treasury yield spiked to 2.72% on Friday, the highest since the February-December 2018 era, and before then the highest since 2014, at the end of the Taper Tantrum:
Back in 2018, the Fed raised rates four times and was shedding assets on its balance sheet, at a pace capped at $50 billion a month. Inflation was below or at the Fed’s target. In December 2018, Powell began to buckle under Trump’s incessant attacks and reversed course.
Now inflation is nearly three times the Fed’s target and has turned into a political bitch for the White House, and the Fed is under pressure to bring it back down, which it won’t succeed in doing for a long while. But instead, the Fed will chase it higher with too-slow rate hikes and too timid Quantitative Tightening, after having committed policy error after policy error for the past two years, and after having exacerbated these policy errors starting in January 2021, when the Fed began to blow off this surging inflation. So now, there won’t be a Powell pivot to lower rates. Those rates will keep going higher, too slowly, and everyone knows it.
High Grade AA-rated corporate bond yields have been rising too, but since mid-March more slowly than the equivalent Treasury yield, a sign of some yield chasing, with the average yield rising to 3.37%.
During the Financial Crisis, when the 10-year Treasury yield maxed out at 4.2%, the average AA-rated yield maxed out at 8%, as financial conditions were tightening even for these companies:
Mania at the riskiest end of the junk bond spectrum.
Single-B rated junk bonds, however, rose only modestly since September 2021, and fell since mid-March 2022, while Treasury yields were spiking. On March 15, they’d reached 6.72%. At the end of last week, they were down to 6.48%, which remains historically very low.
And this yield is still below the rate of CPI inflation! Investors are taking huge risks for still negative, but less negative, real yields.
B-rated bonds are mid-level junk bonds, considered “highly speculative.” That category is riskier than BB-rated junk bonds (“non-investment grade speculative”), according to my cheat sheet for corporate bond credit ratings.
At the risk level of BB, many companies are facing sudden downgrades and default when financial conditions tighten. And every time financial conditions tighten, there are waves of defaults, and yields spike, as noted:
CCC-or-below-rated junk bonds comprise the highest risk category of companies, those whose cash flow isn’t nearly enough to cover debt payments, and with big losses – companies are borrowing on borrowed time, so to speak. This category of bonds ranges from “substantial risk” for CCC-rated bonds to “Default imminent with little prospect for recovery” for C-rated bonds. The next step down is D for default, according to my corporate bond credit ratings guide.
The average CCC-or-below-rated bond yield also fell from mid-March (10.36%) to 10.11% currently. Over this period, as Treasury yields spiked, the spread to Treasury yields narrowed by 81 basis points, a sign that this end of the market is in total la-la land.
This is also the category of bonds to which investors flee to get a yield that is above the 7.9% CPI inflation rate. And they’re taking huge risks to their capital, just to hedge against inflation.
The current average yield, at 10.11%, is near historic lows. Many of these bonds tend to default when the financial conditions tighten to the point where the companies run out of investors to provide new money to pay off existing investors. At that point, a debt restructuring, often in bankruptcy court, can be the consequence, with holders of these bonds taking big losses as these bonds may have been unsecured, or secured by collateral that has become nearly worthless.
What this means is that junk bonds are having some catching up to do, and these companies that don’t have enough cash flow to service their debts are going to face a new reality of tightening financial conditions, which is what the Fed has set out to do by tightening monetary policies. But for now, that segment is in la-la land where investors are still maniacally chasing yields.

Telecoms firm MTN has received final approval from the Central Bank of Nigeria to begin MoMo Service Payment Service Bank Limited.
The company revealed the development in a statement on Monday.
Telcos in Nigeria last year began an intense scramble for PSB licenses with MTN and Airtel leading in the race.
PSBs are licensed to registered agents to perform financial transactions for customers.
The PSB allows telcos to have fintech capabilities which permits them to do cash transfers for people who do not have bank accounts and ATM cards.
Last year in November, MTN said it had received Approval in Principle from the CBN for a licence application for the MOMO Payment Bank Limited.
Airtel also announced on November 5, similar approval from the apex bank to operate PSB it called ‘SMARTCASH Payment Service Bank Limited’.
“MTN Nigeria Communication Plc announces the receipt of a letter dated 8 April 2022 from the CBN addressed to Momo PSB conveying final approval to commence operation,” MTN said in a communication to the Nigerian Exchange Group.
“The dates of commencement will be communicated to the CBN in accordance with its requirements.”
MTN reiterated it’s commitment towards the financial inclusion agenda of the apex bank and the Nigerian government.

NWEA Releases Research Analysis Illuminating Impact of Learning Interruptions on Historically Underserved Students; Underscores Benefits of High-Quality Summer Learning Opportunities
PORTLAND, Ore., April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As we approach the end of the third straight year of learning disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. classrooms continue to address the immediate needs of students while prioritizing academic progress for all. For many students—particularly those that are historically underserved—the summer break from learning perpetuates inequitable achievement gaps.
This insight was among those released today by NWEA in an overview of current research studies that examined K-8 student progress during a typical school year (non pandemic) and over the summer. The research reveals important information about the degree to which being in school reduces achievement gaps and points to the importance of high-quality summer programming in supporting student success.
"Our research analysis revealed reasons for both optimism and concern. While the findings disrupt some long-held deficit-based thinking about some of these student groups, they also demonstrate the disproportionate impact that learning interruptions have on their achievement in the long-term, making high quality summer learning opportunities and other interventions critical," said Lindsay Dworkin, VP of Policy and Advocacy at NWEA. "Taken collectively, these studies can help education leaders and policymakers identify interventions needed for these student groups to help address the inequitable learning patterns in U.S. public schools."
The research used MAP Growth assessment data and revealed that while students with disabilities, English learners, and rural students make gains at rates equal to or faster than their grade-level peers during the school year, these students also experience greater learning loss in the summer, leading to persistent achievement gaps.
"We have long known the impact of the summer slide on student learning; however, this data gives us a deeper look into just how critical high-quality summer opportunities are for many of our underserved students," said Deborah Delisle, CEO of All4Ed, formerly the Alliance for Excellent Education. "This information demonstrates that our system is effective at educating our students during the school year, and it is a call to action for states and districts on how to target summer programming so that all students can excel in school and beyond. Our children deserve nothing less."
Highlights from the research include:
- Rural Students — In a study of K-8 students nationwide, rural students came into kindergarten with higher achievement levels in math and reading than their non-rural peers; but by the end of third grade non-rural students consistently outperformed those from rural communities across the grades. Rural students grow at slightly faster rates in math and reading than other students when school is in session, but lose more ground almost every summer.
- Students with Disabilities — In a study of K-4 students nationwide, students with disabilities enter kindergarten behind their peers in reading and math, but go on to make gains at similar or higher rates than their peers during some school years. However, students with disabilities lose more ground every summer, which contributes to widening disparities in achievement.
- English Learners (ELs) — A third research study looked at achievement and growth for K - 4 for ELs. It showed that ELs had lower test scores than their non-EL peers through their elementary years, but they also made academic growth similar to or at greater levels as their non-EL peers. However, the student group that was consistently identified as needing EL services tended to lose more ground over the summer than their non-EL peers or their multilingual peers who were ELs at some point but not consistently through K-4.
"This new study underscores both the urgency and need to invest in interventions that support the academic recovery of English learners. Even before the pandemic, multi-lingual learners lost more ground than their peers during the summer when they were out of school," said Eric Rodriguez, SVP of Policy and Advocacy at UnidosUS. "After the last two years of interrupted learning for all students, it is more crucial than ever to target significant resources to support retaining and accelerating academic progress and learning for English learners during the summer. Summer support should include bilingual programming that combines academic and enrichment activities staffed with specialists to provide specific language development support and appropriate materials for English learners."
Previous NWEA assessment data show that all students started this school year behind where they would be in a typical year and that historically marginalized groups were most severely impacted. Hispanic, American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN), and Black students had much bigger declines in achievement than Asian American and White students.
NWEA researchers will also continue to conduct research into learning patterns that occur during the school year and over the summer and hope that new data will show a narrowing of gaps and more equitable learning conditions for all students. Additionally, NWEA researchers are partnering with CALDER at American Institutes of Research (AIR) and the Center of Education Policy and Research at Harvard to support a group of districts in determining how interventions are supporting COVID recovery.
"With the school year soon coming to an end, we can all look to summer as the perfect time to provide additional quality learning opportunities for students impacted by the pandemic. To ensure these opportunities are engaging and successful, states need actionable research on effective strategies that leverage afterschool, summer learning, and community partners," said Paolo DeMaria, NASBE President and CEO. "This summer learning research brief can inform state boards about what works to support students in high-quality summer programs that sustain positive gains made during the school year. High quality summer programs coupled with relevant ongoing evaluation will help unlock the tools we need to reduce summer learning loss and continue to accelerate student learning so each and every student thrives."
NWEA's Let's Talk about Summer Twitter Chat
NWEA's Policy and Advocacy Team will host a Twitter chat on April 12th at 2pm EDT to discuss barriers these student groups face, how high-quality summer programs could close these gaps, as well as how districts can use federal recovery funds to support students who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Join @NWEApolicy on Twitter using the hashtag #SummerLearningChat.

Uttar Pradesh: Gorakhnath temple attack accused presented before Court in Gorakhpur
By ANI | Published: April 11, 2022 02:10 PM2022-04-11T14:10:10+5:302022-04-11T14:20:02+5:30
Gorakhnath temple attack accused Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi appeared before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) court in Gorakhpur on Monday.
Gorakhnath temple attack accused Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi appeared before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) court in Gorakhpur on Monday.
Earlier on April 6, accused in the Gorakhnath Temple attack case, Murtaza was shifted to the Uttar Pradesh's Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) headquarters in Lucknow for further investigation.
The accused was also taken for a medical examination before being taken to Lucknow and his laptop and mobile have also been sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for an investigation.
Notably, the father of the accused had stated that his son is mentally not stable and had no plan to commit the offence.
A man forcibly tried to enter the Gorakhnath Temple premises and attacked the on-duty police personnel with a sharp weapon on April 3.
Not ruling out the terror angle in forcibly entering the Gorakhnath Temple and assaulting the police personnel, the Uttar Pradesh government had handed over the probe to the Anti-Terrorism Squad after the accused was arrested (ATS).

Maryland Gov. Hogan vetoes bill to expand abortion access
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — (AP) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed a measure Friday that would expand access to abortion in the state by ending a restriction that only physicians can provide them and requiring most insurance plans to cover abortion care without cost.
The Republican governor, who isn't ruling out a run for the White House in 2024 after his second term ends early next year, wrote that the bill “endangers the health and lives of women by allowing non-physicians to perform abortions.”
“The bill risks lowering the high standard of reproductive health care services received by women in Maryland,” wrote Hogan, who has previously said he personally opposes abortion though he considers it settled law in the state. “These procedures are complex and can, and often do, result in significant medical complications that require the attention of a licensed physician.”
Democrats, who control the General Assembly, passed the legislation with enough votes to override the veto before the scheduled adjournment of the legislative session Monday at midnight.
Supporters say Maryland does not have enough abortion providers for the needs of the state. They have pointed out that many counties do not have a single provider. The bill would remove a legal restriction preventing nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and physician assistants from providing abortions. It would create an abortion care training program and requires $3.5 million in state funding annually.
Separately, the governor decided he would neither veto nor sign a measure that sets accelerated greenhouse gas reduction goals for Maryland and takes a wide variety of steps to meet them. The measure will become law without Hogan's signature. The governor also said a bill that will require the state retirement and pension system to consider certain climate risks when managing assets of the system will go into law without his signature.
“These two bills are an example of poor legislative practice and misguided resources resulting in partisan politics; however I will allow them to pass into law in hopes they will generate future deliberation and discussion on this critically important issue,” Hogan wrote.
The measure aimed at slowing climate change would speed up Maryland’s current goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 40% of 2006 levels to 60% by 2031. It also sets a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 in the state. That means at least as much carbon would be removed from the atmosphere as what’s being emitted.
The bill includes a variety of provisions to cut emissions. For example, it would increase the state’s electric vehicle fleet and reduce emissions from large buildings.
The measure seeking to expand abortion access comes at a time when the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court is weighing whether to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that banned states from outlawing abortion.
If they do, at least 26 states are likely to either ban abortion outright or severely limit access, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research and policy organization that supports abortion rights.
That would force many women to travel to other states to get abortions, prompting Democratic-led legislatures like Maryland’s to pass new laws to prepare for them.

Ja Morant could return to Grizzlies to face Pelicans
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — (AP) — Ja Morant could return to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night against the New Orleans Pelicans after missing just more than two weeks with a sore right knee.
Morant's status against New Orleans was upgraded to questionable on the injury report Friday afternoon. If the All-Star guard returns Saturday, the timetable would be in keeping with what the team announced after the third-year player’s injury was announced.
Morant, averaging a team-high 27.6 points a game, injured his right knee in a loss in Atlanta on March 18. He has been listed as “out” since then, and Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said soon after that Morant would be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Jenkins has periodically said since then that Morant was improving, and they were monitoring his progress with the team’s medical staff. The Memphis coach said Thursday before a loss in Denver that Morant had worked out in 5-on-5 practice and hinted that the guard could return this weekend.
The Grizzlies have two home games left in the regular season — Saturday against the Pelicans and Sunday against Boston. Memphis has already secured the second seed in the Western Conference.
In the nine games since Morant’s absence, Memphis has gone 7-2, the two losses coming in the last two games – in overtime at Utah on Tuesday night and Thursday night in Denver. Backup guard Tyus Jones has filled in most of the time with Morant out.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that Pakistan captain Babar Azam, and Australia opener Rachael Haynes have been voted the ICC Men’s and Women’s Players of the Month for March 2022.
Babar Azam received the award ahead of Kraigg Brathwaite (West Indies) and Pat Cummins (Australia), and also became the first player to win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award on two occasions, after being crowned back in April 2021.
Azam continued his outstanding form in the ODI series, playing vital knocks in the first two games. In the first ODI, he notched up a score of 57 in Pakistan's 88-run loss before scoring a brilliant 118 to lead Pakistan to a six-wicket win in the second contest.
"Babar Azam wins this award not only because of his significant glut of runs scored during the Pakistan v Australia tour, he was able to transition success with the bat across formats, from the Test Series into ODIs," said former West Indies star and member of the voting panel Daren Ganga.
"Significantly, him being able to fulfil the burden of expectation as a captain and batsman for Pakistan being host to an Australian team visiting after 24 years is a monumental achievement."
Rachael Haynes was voted the ICC Women's Player of the Month for March 2022. Haynes’ month was just as impressive as she claimed the women’s award ahead of England spinner Sophie Ecclestone and South Africa opener Laura Wolvaardt.
Haynes' contribution at the top of the order was one of the biggest positives for Australia throughout the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 in New Zealand, which they won for a seventh time early in April.
Across eight ODI matches in March, Haynes scored a total of 429 runs at an average of 61.28 with the highlight being a classy 130 against England in Australia’s opening match of the tournament. She was the top-scorer for the side in March, and was only surpassed by Alyssa Healy by the end of the tournament.
Former Ireland cricketer and member of the voting panel Clare Shillington was full of praise for Haynes' contributions, saying, "Rachael Haynes was the backbone of nearly every World Cup game for Australia, consistently set platforms for them to go on and set huge totals, or chase down any scores put up to them. She was paramount in them reaching the final."

Taste test: we review the best and worst supermarket Easter Eggs for 2022
Cometh the hour, cometh the journalists: our crack team of experts have stepped up to the plate and reviewed the best of the supermarket Easter Eggs for 2022
These are the best and worst supermarket Easter Eggs for 2022
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
It’s easy to be cynical about the prospect of chocolate Easter Eggs - after all, in many parts of the UK they hit the shelves in January. Barely have we recovered from having our wallets emptied by Christmas and here comes another pagan-cum-Christian holiday whose raison d’etre seems to be forcing us to part with our money.
We understand: capitalism has much to answer for. However, as a counter-argument, may we put forth that everything seems a little less concerning with a mouthful of chocolate? And also, if you review the history of Easter Eggs, it’s so storied and, well, silly, that scoffing them on Easter Sunday seems positively reasonable by comparison.
Why do we eat chocolate Easter Eggs at Easter?
The tradition of giving people eggs has pagan roots, as centuries ago people gifted (chicken) eggs to each other to celebrate the beginning of spring.
The delicate oval represented fertility, rebirth and new beginnings in celebration of the spring equinox for centuries, before being absorbed and adapted to fit into the Christian tradition. There, the gifting of eggs transmogrified to symbolise Jesus’ return to life - the Resurrection - after three days of death, crucified by the Roman Empire.
Come medieval times, eating eggs was forbidden for Lent (the 40 days before Easter. Lent marks the 40 days Jesus spent ahead of his crucifixion wondering the desert, feeling quite upset about being the son of god and knowing he had to sacrifice himself to save mankind), as part of the abstinence Christians practised ahead of Easter.
When Easter Sunday came, then, and eggs were exchanged, they were not only considered a symbol of new life, Jesus’ return, but also, for the recipient, they were enjoyed as a long-missed delicacy.
Eggs were gifted to the Church on Good Friday, and villagers would also gift eggs to the lord of their local manor (trickle-up economics? See, a silly history indeed).
As we moved into the Victorian era, eggs had morphed into hollow cardboard ovals, decorated in different fashions, stuffed with Easter gifts and - mmmm, chocolate. The ritziest example of this are the bejewelled Fabergé eggs gifted to the Czar and Czarina of Russia – now worth millions of pounds.
At this time, people in France and Germany started to gift chocolate Eggs, though the chocolate-making process at this time lacked refinement: the eggs produced were solid, bitter, and dark.
In 1875, Swiss chocolatier Daniel Peter changed the ballgame by inventing milk chocolate, and the silky, delicious, sweet Easter confectionary we adore become an annual staple.
And what a staple - according to GWD, the UK purchases £299 million worth of Easter chocolate each year - that’s 90 million eggs. Indeed, it translates to around 8000 calories per child consumed in a single week.
(Mercifully they didn’t record the excess calories consumed by adults at this time).
Thanks for that, but which are the best Easter Eggs?
Potted (or scrambled) history aside, let us get to the 2022 eggs. It’s a crowded chocolate market out there, so before you cram anything into your maw, it’s worth knowing the choccy in hand is worth your cash - and the calories.
We’ve hit up the most prominent UK supermarkets for their own-brand or store exclusive eggs, eaten them - and somehow emerged, mouths smeared and bellies full - to write about it.
Reporting by Aimee Stanton, Harriet Clugston, Rhona Shennan, Rosalind Erskine, Helen Johnson
LINDT Milk chocolate gold bunny 1kg
We happen to be of the philosophy that no Easter is complete without a Lindt bunny to enjoy, and this is the ultimate incarnation - a hefty kilo of the iconic chocolate.
If you’re lucky enough to be familiar with Lindt, you’ll know it takes smooth and creamy to the next level, with a decadent mouthfeel, and a perfectly pitched sweetness - never too cloying.
This big, big bunny may be a (slight) wrench to whack into pieces, but the shards come out satisfyingly thick and chunky - a true religious experience.
M&S Inky the Octopus
It seems perfectly logical to us that Easter confectionary has evolved to depict soft-bellied molluscs.
This cute character is sure to appeal to big and small kids this Easter. Made with ‘extra creamy’ milk chocolate, Inky has intricate features.
When it comes to the chocolate, it’s smooth and quite sweet - more so than you may expect but as this is aimed at children, it works.
M&S Extremely Chocolatey Biscuity Easter Egg 370g
If you love a chocolate biscuit then this egg is ideal. Based on the M&S chunky chocolate biscuits, this extremely chocolatey biscuity egg does exactly what it says (on the biscuit tin).
The creamy milk chocolate, shaped like a giant - you guessed it -biscuit, is studded with crunchy (yep!) biscuit pieces for texture. This egg is great with a cup of tea.
M&S Drippy Chocolate Egg 225g
This egg comes in its own paint tin, and looks very appealing - as if it has been dipped in pastel paints.
The Belgian chocolate is smooth and moreish but the colourful drips are very sweet, which takes away from the quality chocolate somewhat and may not appeal to all.
Kit Kat Chunky Biscoff Milk Chocolate Egg 274.5G (Exclusive to Tescos)
If you’re a fan of KitKat and Biscoff then this is the Easter egg for you. The box includes one Easter egg and three full-size Kit Kat Chunky Lotus Biscoff bars.
While the egg itself is just standard KitKat chocolate, it still delivers a rich and creamy taste, but it’s the individual Biscoff bars that are the real treat.
They combine the iconic chocolate and wafer duo of the classic KitKat with soft, gooey Biscoff and are a delight for the taste buds.
Lindt Milk Chocolate Egg With Salted Caramel Truffles 260G (exclusive to Tescos)
PHWOAR. Get, indeed, in.
The Easter egg itself is luxuriously indulgent, providing the iconic rich and creamy chocolate Lindt is known for.
The egg also comes with eight separate and individually wrapped delicious Lindt salted caramel truffles, which are rich in flavour and melt in the mouth.
Cadbury Fingers Chocolate Egg 547G
If you love Cadbury’s chocolate and chocolate fingers then this is the Easter egg for you. The egg itself provides the classic Cadbury taste, but is made with shortcake biscuit pieces, which is a refreshing twist.
It also comes with three individual bags of Cadbury Nibbly Fingers, which are small versions of the iconic Cadbury fingers.
This egg is a little pricier at £12, but the egg is huge and provides a lot of chocolate for your money.
Waitrose Chocolate Spring Lemon
This dinky white chocolate lemon looks and smells just like the real thing, right down to the dimpled skin.
One thing it is not is very chocolatey, so is perhaps best avoided for the true chocolate fanatic in your life.
But for a very reasonable £3 price tag, it is a fun alternative with a zesty, refreshing taste for those without too much of a sweet tooth.
Waitrose No. 1 Nutty Milk Chocolate Easter Egg with Salted Caramel Truffles
This sizable milk chocolate egg is flecked with almond shavings and has a subtle salty tang which balances out the sweetness well.
It comes complete with a pouch of four deliciously gooey, gold dust covered salted caramel truffles.
Waitrose Sunny Side Sam
This smiley little guy is, as the packaging suggests, almost too cute to eat. He may not look it, but Sam, though small, is surprisingly substantial.
A pleasingly chunky white chocolate shell, with milk and coloured chocolate decoration.
Waitrose Chocolate Pomegranate
The packaging of this red marbled egg promises a “sweet, sharp and fruity” pomegranate flavour.
Unfortunately it is an over promise - the egg fails to capture the pomegranate essence, and truth be told is probably closer in taste to the pith than it is to the juicy seeds.
Aldi Dairyfine Eton Mess Easter Egg 200g
This white chocolate and fruity Easter Egg is a great alternative for those who aren’t that keen on just regular old milk chocolate.
The strawberry and meringue pieces embedded in the white chocolate egg bring together all the flavours you would expect from an Eton Mess.
Aldi Dairyfine Fruit & Nut Chunky Egg
The fruit and nut offering was definitely the surprise stand out from the eggs from Aldi - the chocolate is delicious and the fruit and nut mixture is well incorporated throughout the egg, meaning every bite is guaranteed to have a bit of everything.
While some, especially kids, might think they don’t like fruit and nut chocolate all that much, this Easter Egg from Aldi is bound to convert even the most sceptical.
Aldi Milk Chocolate Lovers’ Duo egg
The Milk Chocolate Lovers’ Duo egg is made of two halves of a whole egg - on one side we have 41% Ghanaian milk chocolate paired opposite a Belgian milk chocolate half with crunchy caramel pieces and a sprinkle of sea salt.
However, despite being marketed specifically for milk chocolate lovers, this egg proved to be a let down. The chocolate on either side didn’t taste very high quality, regardless of its premium looking packaging.
ASDA Extra Special Raspberry & Marshmallow White Chocolate Easter Egg
This might just be the thickest Easter egg we have ever come across.
This chunky chocolatey delight from Asda is bursting with raspberry flavour and filled with a very generous helping of marshmallow.
It might not be the most traditional Easter egg on the supermarket shelf but this scrumptious Belgian white chocolate serving from Asda oozes luxury at a very reasonable price – just don’t try and roll it down a hill.
Extra Special Extra Thick Honeycomb, Pretzel & Almond Milk Chocolate Egg
Another extra special helping from Asda that definitely won’t disappoint.
Filled with almonds, honeycomb and pretzel pieces that bring a pop to every bite, this mouthwatering milk chocolate egg is incredibly moreish and very generous in size.
The design isn’t the most exciting so maybe not one for the kids but you certainly won’t want to give this one away anyway.
ASDA Extra Special Free From Easter Egg Selection
This Vegan Society approved egg selection from Asda is free from gluten, eggs and milk and sadly also free from any Easter fun too.
The trio of eggs come in three different flavours (Anglesey sea salt and sweet honey, white chocolate with Costa Rican coffee and Seville orange Belgian dark chocolate) which are OK in taste but for vegan chocoholics nothing really stands out.
Despite the name it doesn’t taste or look very special at all either and unlikely to satisfy an Easter sweet tooth.
Love Cocoa Giant Milk Chocolate Easter Egg with Salted Caramel Truffles
Every giant egg you purchase from James’ Cadbury (yes, from those Cadburys) results in the company planting one tree in the fight against deforestation, a fact we find makes us feel warm and fuzzy.
This is luscious, creamy milk chocolate - and a sizable egg - but we quibble a little at the price tag, which is hefty. Still, if you consider it a donation to the planet, it may go down a little easier (as will the artfully salty truffles that go with).
H!P Salted Caramel Oat M!lk Chocolate Easter Egg 150g
The packaging for this vegan, oat milk based egg is LOUD - perhaps obnoxiously so - but plastic-free, so it is admirably recyclable.
We were delighted by the texture of the chocolate - creamier and more delicious than any other vegan varietals we tried, indeed, it’s indistinguishable from trad milk chocolate.
The caramel and sea salt is well balanced. A great choice for vegans, especially if they want to get away from the ubiquitous dark chocolate options.
M&S Walter the Sausage Dog Chocolate 135g
With respect and apologies to Walter, the chocolate sausage dog, we found his chocolate to taste a little waxy and unappealing - not a luxurious experience.
But to be fair that’s not why he’s flying off the shelves. Just look at him. What a cutie. Want a sausage dog shaped Easter Egg? This will meet your needs.

Finding Hairy Grabster net worth? Patty and Andy Watne, who live in Illinois, came up with this new product. People like Patty and Andy Watne didn’t like having to pull clumps of hair out of a drain or clean hair from walls and floors. The walls, the floor, and the drain are kept clean.
Message me if you want to talk. Thank you for taking the time to look at my page and see what I’ve done. I hope to work with you in the near future. To get in touch with me, just do it! Some women lose their hair like crazy. When my husband gets a gift, it’s probably going to make him lose 100 or more strands of hair a day.
You can buy this useful and revolutionary product for just $9.ninety five. It’s already put together, and the customer can choose blue or white. He or she doesn’t look tired, though.
After a long, hard day, there are few things that make us happier than taking a nice, warm bath. Hairy Grabster Net worth depends on it usage. It is made to keep hair from getting on the walls of the bathtub and into the drain. My problem with this was that I think the reason hair gets on shower walls is more likely because water happens to spray it there, rather than people wiping their hair all over the walls. Get out of the shower and grab your little hair swirl from the wall. Put it in your bathroom trash. Hairy Grabster is a place to put hair that comes off in your arms when you take a shower. It’s also a way to keep your hands clean.
It’s not easy, but if you believe in your item, fight for it and don’t let anyone get in your way. “It’s been a crazy ride, and even though it’s now summer, people still want to buy things.” Barbara Corcoran came up with $50,000 for 30 percent, but when the guys tried to get 25 percent from her, she said no. They agreed to the deal, even though other sharks didn’t bite.
The entrepreneur has the final say on whether or not to accept or reject the investment. The negotiations that follow are what make the show so exciting to watch. Ads for products that are said to be endorsed by “Shark Tank” or the Sharks are all over the Internet. The names and pictures of the show and the Sharks are being used by a lot of businesses to try to sell their products. Sadly, with each new episode comes the chance for imposters to use false information and facts to take advantage of people who don’t know better. As many items say they were on “Shark Tank,” that isn’t always true.
How is the company doing now?
It can be hard and annoying to deal with hair in the shower, whether it’s on the floor, walls, or even your hands. Patty and Andy Watne, who are husband and wife, have been through a lot together. So, after a lot of thought, this Illinois-based couple came up with a simple but effective solution: “Hairy Grabster.”
When Andy and Patty told each other that they had Hairy Grabsters Net Worth of $600, things got a little shaky in the tank. Cost to make: It cost $1.30 and was sold for $9.95. That’s what Andy said. They have about 5,000 units in storage and have put $63,000 of their own money into it. Ads for products that are said to be endorsed by “Shark Tank” or the Sharks have been popping up all over the Internet. Many businesses are putting the names and images of the show and the Sharks on their products to try to get people to buy them more. Unfortunately, with each new episode comes the chance for imposters to use false information to get what they want from people who aren’t paying attention, so it’s not good.
Using your hand, you just move it over the hairs. They are meant to stop the hair from going down the drain. All you have to do is run a finger or a piece of paper through each division.
She has a lot of hair, but because it grows back over and over again, it’s not even noticeable. I think it needs to be bigger and have better silicon fingers. I think it would be a lot easier to clean and it wouldn’t look as bad.
I’m surprised that no one talked about the hair that grows back after shaving. Because I have long hair, I use the catcher factor to catch the hair that gets in the drain. There is one thing that seems to help clean the razor every time I shave. I come from a long line of people who are very clean-shaven. PROVEN makes personalized skincare products based on your pores and skin genome profile and 47 other things about you, your environment, your lifestyle, and your skin problems, like how much sun you get and what kind of skin you have. Skin Genome ProjectTM is the database that drives PROVEN. It looks at more than 4,000 scientific papers and 20 million customer reviews to figure out what works best for people like you.
Hailey Greer profiles
You can buy this useful and revolutionary product for just $9.ninety five. It’s already put together, and the customer can choose between blue or white. When George Clooney has grey hair, so does his beard! It doesn’t matter if the celebrities got grey hair naturally or used some dye to get it. They’ve worn grey hair for a long time now. Glenn used to be a surprising blonde, but now she has grey hair and looks completely different.
Taking care of the Hairy Grabster net worth isn’t very difficult, either. You just need to gently pull the hair out of the bristles with a finger or a thin handle, which is the same way you would clean a hairbrush. During the time we wash our hair, the broken hair strands get stuck to our palms. We quickly wash our hands to get rid of the hair, but we don’t know that this hair will turn into a huge hair plug that will clog our toilet drain. So, the only answer to this problem that’s available now is Hairy Grabster, which is simple and the only one that works.

Isn’t that amazing? This will let you cut your hair down to the length that fits your needs! As another pair of hands, it helps you avoid getting hurt. Another way to say it: Karen Gravano’s net worth is $800,000. Karen’s net price isn’t bad, but Drita’s is a lot better than Karen’s. But the 40-year-old doesn’t look tired at all. Prints of my work can be bought.
With the world’s haircare market estimated to be worth $87.73 billion, there’s a good chance that a good idea in this market could make a lot of money. It is possible to watch the most recent episodes of Shark Tank Season 4 on SonyLIV. Enjoy the best moments, videos, and promos from Shark Tank Season 4.

To see a full list of the products that were on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” please click here. We also have a special Shark Tank store where you can buy products that you saw being pitched in the Tank. No one from ABC, the Sharks, or the people who make “Shark Tank” is saying that these products are good or bad. The amount of hair that comes out of a person’s head every day would surprise you. It was clear that I wasn’t getting a good deal, but I thought the product was good. I don’t think the sharks are right.
Cory Nieves is a teacher. Bio, Wikipedia, Age, and Net Price
There are 12 suction cups on the back of the Hairy Grabster net worth, which is a 5.25-inch by 5.25-inch product that can be stuck to any flat or vertical surface with them. Each Grabster also comes with 12 bristle cups that are attached to a single backplate. Each bristle cup has a lot of “hair-hungry” bristles that can remove and hold on to loose hair. Connect it to the wall or bathtub, then swipe your hand over the Grabster whenever you want to get rid of some hair. The bristles scrape away all of your hair and include it, leaving your arms and the floor of your shower clean and hair-free after. Then, it can be easy to clean.
When a lot of products say they were on “Shark Tank,” that doesn’t always mean it is. But, really, it’s not a big deal that I’d put something disgusting like this on the wall. As a safety measure, I’ve been snaking my drain every month with a $20 reusable snake I bought from Lowe’s. I’m used to it. I think it’s going to be a lot more difficult to clean than just washing the wall with a showerhead. The hair on the product looks the same way. During Shark Tank Season 12, Andy and Patty Watne went on the show to show off their business, HariyGrabster, to the sharks. It may be hard to find a replacement for HairyGrabster after Shark Tank because you learned a lot from the tank.
In Watne Group LLC, she is now CEO. Hairy Grabster bet worth is the main product that was made, patented, and sold. They have more ideas for how to solve everyday problems quickly. Andy Watne, Patty Watne’s husband, was very concerned about how much hair was on the wall of the bathroom before Patty told him that it was normal. 2) The shower-friendly tool is able to stick to the wall.

Stranger Things creators call season 4 their ‘Game of Thrones season’
Season four of ‘Stranger Things’ will be the longest season so far
The creators of Stranger Things are calling the forthcoming new series their “Game of Thrones season”.
Production for season four began in early 2020, following an announcement from Netflix that its creators, brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, had signed onto a new multi-year TV and film deal with the streaming giant.
Season three ended with the Byers family leaving Hawkins and hints at a plot in Russia for Hopper, creating an expansive storyline with characters scattered across the globe.
Season three also attracted a record-breaking 40.7 million households streaming the show on Netflix in the first four days of its release.
Speaking to Deadline, Matt Duffer said this week: “We jokingly call it our Game of Thrones season because it’s so spread out.”
He also confirmed that series four will be released in two volumes on 27 May and 1 July 2022, marking the longest season yet, with nine episodes all over an hour long.
“That’s one reason it’s taken so long [to produce]. It does have this sort of epic quality to it,” he explained.
Matt also provided an update on the whereabouts of the show’s main characters: “Joyce and the Byers family have left at the end of season three – they are in California. We’ve always wanted to have that ET-esque suburb aesthetic, which we finally got to do this year in the desert.
“Then we have Hopper in Russia, and then of course we have a group remaining in Hawkins. So we have these three storylines, all connected and interwoven together, but it’s just very different tones.”
Access unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime Video Sign up now for a 30-day free trial
Sign upStranger Things will end with season five. Set in the 1980s, season four creeps closer to star Winona Ryder’s real-world meteoric rise in Beetlejuice, which the Stranger Things teens would certainly go to the movies to see.
“That’s the threshold we can’t cross, which is once Winona is a superstar in the world,” Matt Duffer said. “The show has to stop, because [the kids’ heads] will spontaneously combust or something.”
“That’s the final scene,” Ross Duffer jokingly added. “The kids go to see Beetlejuice and their heads explode.”
Season four of Stranger Things will be released on Netflix in two volumes on 27 May and 1 July 2022. The first three seasons are available to stream now.

Madhan Mohan, a former MNC employee, switched to social work and founded an NGO, Regenboog India Foundation, in 2006. He was earning great, and leaving a well-established career was a tough decision for him to make. However, one fine day, he gathered courage and wrote down his resignation letter to get indulged entirely in social work.
Mohan noted that children from remote villages and economically-weaker sections in Tiruvannamalai of Tamil Nadu were rapidly dropping out of schools. There were several reasons for school dropout, the primary being child marriages.
Mohan said, "In 2007, we launched Arunachala evening school at Vediyappanur village, with financial support from family and friends. Our aim is to provide a practical and stress-free learning atmosphere for abandoned and poor children," quoted The New Indian Express.
Starting Of Mobile Library
Although the children got back to schooling, they failed to comprehend subjects and suffered low confidence as the language of the tuition was beyond their understanding. It is when Mohan decided to inculcate reading habits amongst students and made it a priority.
He said, "We also decided to help government school students acquire language skills. I studied in a government school, and I understand their concerns," quoted the publication.
The foundation's project 'Mobile Library' was initiated in 2008. However, the school administrations were doubtful of the scheme, but the NGO team's persistent efforts took the game forward. Like all the first steps, this was also challenging for the team. They carried books in fruits/vegetable baskets to the schools and later purchased an old motorbike.
How Does It Work?
The NGO follows two ways to distribute books to children; the Mobile Library Vehicle and a Motor Cycle Library. The project has a collection of over 14,000 books which are distributed to 80 government schools.
Under the project, each student receives a membership card, and the entire library procedure is computerized to make an accessible channel and save time to visit new places.
As per the information available on the NGO website, they currently have four executives to deliver books to the schools to visit the designated places every alternate week to ensure children can check out and return books every two weeks.

The UK's beloved weekend takeaway tradition could be under threat as soaring fuel prices and the rising cost of living forces delivery drivers out of a job. The cost of living crisis currently gripping the country is already causing a reduction in the number of delivery drivers available, according to experts.
Alok Alstrom, CEO of leading gig economy platform AppJobs, revealed the number of vacancies for delivery drivers on his platform has soared by 130 percent since January. He said: “The weekend takeaway is a tradition that is deeply ingrained in the fabric of millions of lives in Britain.
“However, the cost of living crisis is having a knock-on effect on many of the things we enjoy, and it is causing a major headache in the gig economy. Rising fuel costs are making it more and more economically unviable for delivery drivers who use motorised vehicles and we are already seeing many of them turning to alternative employment.
“Meanwhile, the soaring prices for everything from fuel to energy bills is forcing others to look for more lucrative and secure work to put food on their own tables. Without urgent intervention, the simple luxury of having pizza or Chinese delivered to the comfort of your home could be a thing of the past.”
Brits spend an average of £1,200 each on takeaways per year, with dishes such as fish and chips, curries and pizza among the nation’s favourites, according to recent data from Compare The Market. In recent years, the surge in popularity of delivery platforms such as UberEats and Deliveroo have made it easier than ever to indulge in a weekend treat.
Delivery drivers use a range of transport methods, from cars, vans and motorcycles to bicycles and e-scooters. New data from AppJobs shows that the number of delivery job openings has increased from 1,237 in January to 2,848 in March.
While Chancellor Rishi Sunak has cut fuel duty by 5p, prices at the pumps remain at sky-high levels and have made delivery jobs less economically viable for many. With hourly rates between £7 and £12, a part-time delivery driver working 12 hours per week could earn up to £7,488 per year.
But many of these workers are self-employed, so their profit margins are often slim and even the slightest rise in fuel prices can have a major impact. Mr Alstrom added: “Opportunities in the delivery sector have soared in number in the past few years as demand for greater convenience grows.
“It’s now a normal part of life to have a takeaway or clothes delivered that we ordered online with the click of a few buttons. As a result of this drive towards consumer convenience, the work and pay conditions for delivery drivers have improved and made it an attractive position for a growing number of jobseekers.
“However, for this sector to remain attractive in the future, there’s no doubt we will need to see a reduction in the cost for drivers to simply be able to do their job.”

Three athletes from the High Performance Centre (HPC) in Bhubaneswar- Amlan Borgohain, Jyothi Yarraji and Siddhanth Thingalaya- returned with Gold medals, while another, Moumita Mondal won a silver at the Federation Cup in Calicut, Kerala last week.
Several other athletes from the Reliance Foundation HPC recorded Personal Bests (PBs) and a couple narrowly missed out on medals, giving coach Head Coach James Hillier plenty of reason to be proud of his wards, while ruing some missed opportunities.
“It’s hard for me to say I’m satisfied because as a coach you always want more,” said Hillier. “We had some exceptional individual performances at the competition but as a whole, we actually had some pretty rotten luck.”
Among the Gold medal winners, Borgohain produced a sizzling sprint to erase the national record of 20.63 seconds by winning the 200 metres in 20.52 seconds.
While Borgohain celebrated his national record, Yarraji was in tears at the completion of her race, despite clinching Gold in the 100m hurdles. Her timing of 13.09 seconds obliterated the existing national record of 13.38 seconds but the mark was denied since the tail-wind was marginally above the permitted limit. The blow was cushioned to an extent as Mondal, who is also Yarraji’s training partner, claimed silver with a timing of 13.78 seconds, making it a remarkable 1-2 for HPC athletes.
Thingalaya, who at 31 is one of the veterans of the national circuit, returned to competition after two and half years to win the 110m hurdles in 14.08 seconds. In the same category, Graceson Jeeva ran a PB of 14.67 seconds to finish fourth. At just 19, Hillier has identified him as a bright prospect for the future.
High Jumper Swadhin Majhi also returned with a PB of 2.10 metres to finish fifth, despite battling with a bruised heel that restricted his training over the last month. 3000m Steeplechase Susmita Tiga, the newest addition to the HPC, ran a PB of 11.23.10 to finish in fourth place. Another athlete to narrowly miss out on a bronze was Pragyan Sahu in the 400m hurdles. Long Jumpers Sabita Toppo and Manisha Merel finished outside the medals as this competition was meant to provide them experience and exposure at the top level.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Sirens went off in some Polish cities early Sunday to mark the anniversary of the 2010 presidential plane crash, despite widespread protests that their sound would be unnecessary trauma to hundreds of thousands of refugees from the war in Ukraine.
The sirens were intended to add to the significance and the plaintive character of observances honoring late President Lech Kaczynski, the first lady and 94 other prominent Poles killed 12 years ago in a plane accident in Russia.
The sirens were heard at 0641 GMT, the exact time the presidential plane crashed on April 10, 2010, near Smolensk, Russia.
Kaczynski was the twin of Jaroslaw Kaczynski who is the leader of the main ruling Law and Justice party and Poland’s key politician. The brothers founded the party in 2001.
Wreaths and flowers were laid in Warsaw and across the country at the monuments and graves to the victims of the national tragedy. Jaroslaw Kaczynski and party figures were at the monuments to the late president and to all the victims, in downtown Warsaw.
Provincial governors, who represent the central government, ignored widespread calls of concern for refugees from neighboring Ukraine, traumatized by air raid alarms, to not use the sirens. Some 2.6 million refugees — mostly women and children — have crossed into Poland since Feb. 24, when Russia’s troops invaded Ukraine and started bombing it. Many require psychological care to deal with their trauma.
The authorities were sending text messages to refugees’ phones and posting public warnings that the sirens would mean no danger.
The head of a Ukrainian support center in Warsaw, Myroslava Keryk, said that the “Ukrainian mothers had time to explain to their children that the sirens will not sound an air raid and that there was nothing to be afraid of.”
But to many Poles the use of sirens was a bad idea.
“This is a system for warning and alarm, not for celebrations,” said Adam Glogowski, a retired fireman. “We don’t need sirens to remember, to honor the crash victims.”
Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and unfriendly relations with Moscow, Poland’s government is reviving its controversial allegation that the crash was a Kremlin assassination plan. It is fueled by Russia’s refusal to return the plane’s wreckage, obstructing detailed investigation.
“We have no doubts that it was an assassination,” Kaczynski said last week, but offered no proof.
Poland’s state commission for analyzing air travel incidents said the crash in dense fog on approach to the rudimentary Smolensk airport was the result of human errors made in adverse conditions. But a separate team appointed by the government alleges that explosions preceded the crash, which was intentional. It is to present another of its reports on Monday.

As restrictions on accessing an abortion in Missouri have steadily tightened, nearly 9,800 Missourians travelled to Kansas and Illinois to receive abortions in 2020, compared to only 167 procedures that occurred within state lines that year.
That number could drop even further if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion — causing a Missouri law to kick in that would ban the procedure except in medical emergencies.
And after years of limiting access to abortion in Missouri, lawmakers are now eyeing policy for a world in which the constitutional protections for the procedure are no more.
“Nationally, everybody is looking to a post-Roe world,” said Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, R-Arnold. “In Missouri, we’re almost already there.”
Proposals have been floated this legislative session to allow lawsuits to be filed against anyone aiding Missourians to obtain an abortion across state lines, to target the distribution of abortion-inducing drugs and to declare the right to an abortion doesn’t exist in the state constitution.
But as the nation waits in anticipation of how the country’s highest court will rule, the GOP-controlled Missouri legislature finds itself at an inflection point of its own.
“How much do you do now, as opposed to how much do you do down the road when states have more freedom to regulate abortion than they do now?” said Sam Lee, a longtime lobbyist for Campaign Life Missouri. “It’s a debatable point.”
Proposals that mirror Texas’ recent abortion restrictions have grabbed national headlines, but they have yet to gain significant traction in the legislature — which is more than halfway through the session that ends May 13.
Meanwhile, a yearslong effort to limit public funds from going to abortion providers and their affiliates has steadily marched forward, once again locking reproductive health providers and the state in litigation.
“Not only are Missouri politicians showing us what it’s going to look like post Roe v. Wade,” said Bonyen Lee-Gilmore, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, “but they’re also showing us their intent to go after all other comprehensive reproductive health care.”
Lee called the effort to defund Planned Parenthood “the most likely pro-life bill that’s going to pass this year.”
“It’s practically universal among every Republican that I’ve talked to, whatever caucus they’re in or whatever they call themselves,” he said. “That’s the law that they want to pass. And I’ve seen that discussed over and over.”
Proposals this session
Republican lawmakers have opened up new fronts this session, taking aim at abortions occurring outside of state lines and introducing measures modeled off of Texas’ law that banned abortions after fetal cardiac activity is detected — which can be as early as six weeks before most women know they are pregnant.
While Idaho was the first to sign legislation mirroring Texas’ law, it remains to be seen if Missouri lawmakers are on board with adopting a similar private enforcement mechanism.
On Wednesday, the Senate Committee on Seniors, Families, Veterans & Military Affairs debated a bill that would mirror Texas’ law and another that would allow women to be held criminally responsible “for the death or attempted death of her child” for receiving an abortion.
A string of supporters urged lawmakers Wednesday to outlaw abortion in its entirety. While opponents, like Maggie Olivia, a policy manager with Pro-Choice Missouri, said allowing private lawsuits would give abusers financial incentives to surveil their victims.
A bill filed by Sen. Andrew Koenig, R-Manchester, that has yet to be heard in committee would also extend Missouri’s abortion laws outside of state lines in certain circumstances, such as when the procedure involves a Missouri resident, which the bills also defines as “an unborn child.”
Last week, the House avoided a vote on an amendment proposed by Coleman that would have made it illegal to perform or “aid or abet” an abortion for a Missouri resident — regardless of where the procedure occurs. The provision, which would have allowed for exceptions in the case of life-threatening conditions, would have been enforced through private lawsuits, and not the state.
A rare procedural move was used to overwrite Coleman’s language.
Bills passed this session will be able to “start to be challenged to see where those parameters are,” in a post-Roe v. Wade world, Coleman said.
But not all anti-abortion advocates are in agreement.
Lee said he doesn’t believe Texas’ private enforcement mechanism is the right tactic, noting Democratic states, like California, have used the same concept to propose legislation to allow private citizens to sue gun manufacturers.
“I don’t think it’s a sustainable approach,” Lee said. “I don’t think in the long run, it’s an approach that the courts are going to favor.”
What’s more, under the current enforcement by the state, abortions have fallen, Lee said. According to preliminary data, last year only 151 abortions occurred in Missouri, which includes those in hospitals, Lisa Cox, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Senior Services said.
The constitutionality of a 2019 Missouri law that banned abortions after eight weeks also has yet to be decided, as the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis weighs arguments. Lee said it would be premature to pass new laws that may repeal or interfere with those statutes before the case is decided.
When asked during Wednesday’s committee hearing if language allowing for private enforcement would affect the law before the courts, Susan Klein, Missouri Right to Life’s executive director said, “we don’t believe that it would.”
Amending Missouri’s Constitution
If Roe v. Wade is overturned and a near-total ban on abortions under the provisions of Missouri’s 2019 law goes into effect, anti-abortion advocates expect a court challenge would be imminent.
In anticipation of one, a handful of bills filed this session would allow voters to decide whether to amend Missouri’s Constitution to make clear that: “Nothing in this constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion.”
“I believe this is an ounce of prevention against an activist courtroom in this area,” Sen. Bob Onder, R-Lake St. Louis and sponsor of SJR 53, said Wednesday during a committee hearing.
In Kansas, voters will be asked this August whether to amend the state’s constitution to reverse a Kansas Supreme Court decision that found women had a constitutional right to abortion in Kansas. Meanwhile in anticipation of Roe v. Wade’s possible reversal, Democratic strongholds have moved in the opposite direction, with Colorado affirming a right to abortion exists in their state under a new law signed Monday.
Koenig, whose bill also touches on taxpayer funds going toward abortion, said the language would make Missouri’s Constitution “abortion neutral” and leave the authority over abortion policy in lawmakers’ hands.
“To me, that is not exactly neutral,” said Sen. Jill Schupp, D-Creve Coeur.
Taxpayer funds
Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have continued their efforts to bar taxpayer funds from going to abortion providers and their affiliates.
On Thursday, the Missouri House passed budget bills that included $0 line items for abortion providers and their affiliates and barred them from being reimbursed through the state’s Medicaid program. A similar provision signed by Gov. Mike Parson in a supplemental budget bill has already been met with a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood.
But lawmakers still hope to pass similar language through statute, noting the Missouri Supreme Court previously struck down prior attempts to do so through the state budget. Provisions were included in an omnibus abortion bill passed out of the House Wednesday.
“I don’t think when you’re talking about saving lives,” Klein said, “that you should have just one track.”
Missouri’s Medicaid program only pays for abortions in the instances of rape, incest or to save the mother’s life. Reproductive health advocates have stressed that limiting funding to Planned Parenthood providers will stretch a safety net that’s already over capacity.
In 2021, the two Planned Parenthood health centers that participated in Missouri Family Health Council’s family planning services served 52% of the nearly 44,000 patients seen, said Michelle Trupiano, the nonprofit’s executive director.
M’Evie Mead, Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri’s director, said it will put people in a “a terrible but intentional bind” in a world where abortion is illegal if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
“They can no longer access the care of the provider of their choice where they can actually prevent unintended pregnancy or keep themselves healthy,” Mead said, “and if they happen to get pregnant unintentionally they have no recourse.”
States like Kansas and Illinois that have the right to an abortion enshrined in their state laws may be fortified as abortion safe havens if Roe v. Wade is overturned, and clinics have already seen their numbers increase as access is restricted in other states.
Planned Parenthood Great Plains’ clinics in Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas saw over 1,100 patients from Texas from September to December 2021 after Texas’ fetal cardiac activity law was passed, a spokeswoman said, compared to only 50 Texans during that same period a year earlier.
Similarly, a regional logistics center in Fairview Heights just past the Illinois-Missouri border, has seen a 133% increase in patients that are traveling from outside Missouri and Illinois, Lee-Gilmore said.
“Figuring out, how do we get the patient to the health center? Where do they stay while they’re here? Do they have money to eat?” Lee-Gilmore said, “All of these questions are now regularly becoming a part of abortion care.”

"It's time for the former chancellor to explain certain things"
Merkel has condemned Russia's military operation, but says she remains committed to her 2008 decision to block Ukraine's NATO membership.
Source: Jutarnji listAngela Merkel's reputation has been damaged in Germany in recent weeks, writes the Telegraph. "After the invasion of Ukraine, former ministers who served in her tenure, in turn, renounce its foreign policy," the paper writes.
"I never thought in my life that we would enter into such a crisis with Russia," said Wolfgang Schäuble, a former finance minister during Merkel's term.
"I agreed we had to work with Russia. Today I know: I was wrong, we were all wrong."
"We are faced with bitter knowledge," said German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who was foreign minister under Angela Merkel. "We stuck to built bridges that Russia no longer believed in and that our partners warned us about. I was wrong, but I was not the only one," he said.
Still, the woman at the center of all these developments was defiant. Merkel made a brief statement condemning the invasion of Ukraine, but said she "stands by her 2008 decision" to block Ukraine's NATO membership. Besides, she said nothing more, leaving Germany to consider her legacy only a few months after she retired as one of the greatest chancellors in German history.
"Merkel's toxic legacy will occupy this country for a long time to come," thundered Alexander Marguerre, editor of the conservative magazine Cicero and longtime critic of Angela Merkel.
Asked whether Merkel had totally misunderstood Vladimir Putin during her 16 years in power, the deputy head of the Bundestag from the ranks of the CDU, Johan Vandelpoel, said that it was time for the former chancellor to explain some things. "I hope that Angela Merkel will soon find the time and opportunity to comment in more detail on her policy towards Russia," Vandelpoel said.
The war in Ukraine did not completely nullify her legacy, but shed an unpleasant light on those parts of her rule that most Germans would rather forget. The achievements for which she was celebrated only a few months ago are still intact.
It has turned the sick German economy into the economic power of today. It has led the European Union through the crisis of the introduction of the euro and Brexit, and the bloc has remained united. But the Ukrainian war shed light on less successful areas of her legacy.
The former chancellor was so popular that Olaf Scholz ran as her successor despite coming from a rival party. He even took her famous pose as his trademark. But in a few days after the Russian operation in Ukraine, he annulled many of her important decisions.
The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project was abandoned, as well as the entire energy policy due to which Germany was dependent on Russian gas. He also announced a new large investment in Germany's defense of as much as 100 billion euros and promised that Germany would finally meet NATO's military spending targets. German allies have constantly warned of the dangers of over-dependence on Russian gas and the impossibility of defending such great domination.
But the criticism did not come only from the allies. Wolfgang Schäuble, a former finance minister under Angela Merkel, tried to point out that "he never hid his opposition to the Nord Stream", and the German Greens were strongly opposed to that.
However, these were not issues that dominated German politics. On the contrary, they were things that decent German society did not want to discuss.
So far, Merkel has not said anything about military spending or Russian gas, and it seems that history will probably assess her policy as wrong in both cases. It is obvious that the only issue on which she decided to speak out and defend herself is her decision to oppose Ukraine's membership in NATO in 2008.
The third principle of her policy, which has come under criticism in recent weeks, is her appeasement of Putin, which is why one of her former ministers defended her.
"If you say that we misjudged this man's aggression, then I agree with you. But that does not mean that the whole policy in the past 20 years has been wrong," said Thomas de Maizière, the interior minister during Angela Merkel's term.
"At that time, people used to say that Merkel was too harsh towards Putin and the Russians. Compared to France or Italy, for example, she talked to Putin much harsher."
During most of her time at the helm of Germany, Merkel was one of Putin's main interlocutors from the West. She was never afraid to face the Russian President, and once they even discussed Ukraine all night.
However, she had to play with the cards she received. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 was immediately condemned by the West, but there was not much will to confront Putin directly.
If Merkel spent hours looking for a common language with Putin, she did so with the consent of her Western counterparts. Her perception as a conciliator dates back to the time when she spoke with then-US President George W. Bush in 2008, who proposed that Ukraine and Georgia join NATO. Putin opposed the alliance's plans to reach, as he sees it, the Russian yard.
With the support of the then French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Merkel said that the admission of those countries to NATO would cause destabilization in the region.
The fact that Merkel is still defending that decision, means that she also belongs to the circle of those who believe that the expansion of NATO to the Russian border has contributed to the current crisis. We will never know what would have happened if Merkel had not intervened then. But it is not certain that without it, Ukraine would become a full member of NATO, which proves the current reluctance of the alliance to intervene.
"I invite Ms. Merkel and Mr. Sarkozy to visit Bucha and see what 14 years of concessions to Russia have led to," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this week.
"They thought that by rejecting Ukraine, they would calm down Russia, convince it to respect our country and live with us normally."

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Thousands of students marched in cities around Indonesia on Monday to protest against rumors that the government is considering postponing the 2024 presidential election to allow President Joko Widodo to remain in office beyond the two-term legal limit, calling it a threat to the country's democracy.
Widodo denied on Sunday that his administration is attempting to delay the vote after senior politicians, including a close ally, supported the idea, and ordered the Cabinet to explain that the election has been set for Feb. 14, 2024.
“This needs to be explained so that there are no rumors circulating among people that the government is trying to postpone the election, or speculation about the extension of the president’s tenure or a related third term,” Widodo said at a Cabinet meeting on election preparations.
Authorities in the capital, Jakarta, blocked streets leading to the heavily guarded presidential palace and Parliament building, where protesters attempted to march to demand that lawmakers not delay the election or amend the constitution to allow Widodo to run again in 2024.
“We demand that the lawmakers do not betray the country’s constitution by amending it,” said Kaharuddin, a protest coordinator. “We want them to listen to people’s aspirations.”
Presidents are limited to two terms under the first amendment to the Indonesian Constitution, which was passed in 1999, a year after dictator Suharto was toppled by massive pro-democracy protests.
The protesters chanted about protecting the country’s democratic progress, and also against soaring fuel and food prices.
Similar protests occurred in other cities, including Bandung, Yogyakarta, Makassar and Pontianak.
The protests are not associated with any particular party or group, and are led by students, who historically have been a driving force of political change in Indonesia. Student demonstrations in 1998 triggered events that led longtime strongman President Suharto to step down.
Powerful political figures, including Cabinet ministers Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan and Airlangga Hartarto, who is also chair of the Golkar party in the governing coalition, have suggested that the election should be delayed.
Suharto ruled Indonesia for more than three decades under an authoritarian, often violent regime. During his rule, corruption and rights abuses became rampant as the elite plundered the economy. His downfall ushered in democracy, and the term limit is meant to prevent a repeat of the authoritarian past.
Last Wednesday, Widodo told his Cabinet to focus on addressing rising inflation instead of stirring controversy over the election.
“Nobody should bring up a (presidential) term extension or election delay anymore. No more!” Widodo said.
Widodo said last June that he plans to adhere to the constitution, after his supporters began rolling out the idea that his tenure could be extended through a constitutional amendment or election delay.
Supporters argued that Widodo needs more time to deal with the economy, which slumped during the pandemic, and complete his agenda, including a $35 billion project to relocate the capital to the island of Borneo.
Despite denials, doubts about his intentions have persisted.
“People are still skeptical about Jokowi’s indecision regarding the third term,” said Ujang Komarudin, a political analyst at Al-Azhar Indonesia University, using Widodo’s popular nickname. “The alleged plans have deviated far from the constitution and would be a major blow for Indonesia’s democratic reform.”

THE newest Korean narrative to join Disney+’s increasing library of Korean entertainment is Soundtrack #1.
Park Hyung Sik returns to the romance genre following the success of his comeback drama Happiness, starring in this Disney+ drama as Han Sun-woo. Joining him is Han So Hee, who first rose to prominence in South Korea’s highest-rated cable TV drama World of the Married, and demonstrated her flexibility as an actor in two blockbuster Netflix dramas, My Name and Nonetheless. Here she stars as Han’s love interest Lee Eun-soo.
Soundtrack #1 is set in modern-day South Korea and follows struggling songwriter Eun-soo and her closest friend of 19 years, Sun-woo, who is given the assignment of composing a hit song about unrequited love, and the duo find themselves suddenly living together and discussing their personal love tales in order to complete the song.
Sun-woo, unbeknownst to Eun-soo, has long concealed his genuine feelings for her out of fear of upsetting their friendship and losing her forever. As the story progresses and the two continue to spend every waking moment together, unspoken feelings arise, forcing them to tread a narrow line between friendship and romance. It’s nearly difficult not to fall in love with the two main characters and their chemistry in this series. This four-part melodrama serves as a bridge between larger productions for its performers.
Soundtrack #1 leans on its star power and lures us in with the gentle and hazy glow of a pleasant city neighbourhood filled by handsome yet disgruntled artists, sticking to typical romance cliches and a basic and familiar plot.
However, it was a terrible decision to make this a four-episode series. A lengthier run of episodes would pique our interest, possibly by delving into each lead’s background and Sun-woo’s thoughts on how it all began, which would properly explain why we should root for this couple.
Still, Soundtrack #1 is a wonderfully relaxing series that lasts about 40 minutes per episode, and is extremely easy to watch. It gets directly to the point and doesn’t waste time, which is made feasible by the short episode count. There are no narrative twists or complex storylines, just two people attempting to sort out their lives and their affections for one other. I am convinced that this series will conclude happily. For those who despise intricate dramas, this is a nice one to add to your watch list.
Soundtrack #1 is available on Disney+. Catch the finale on April 13.
DIRECTOR: Kim Hee-Won
CAST: Park Hyung Sik, Han So-Hee, Lee Jung Eun

Gold prices dipped in range-bound trading on Monday, as elevated Treasury yields boosted the dollar and countered support from uncertainty around the Ukraine war, while palladium rose after London's decision to block trading of the metal from Russia.
Spot gold was down 0.2% at $1,942.85 per ounce by 0730 GMT, after hitting a more than one-week high of $1,949.32 earlier in the day. U.S. gold futures were up 0.1% at $1,947.40.
"Gold is still trading sideways and that reflects the conflicting currents that we're looking at. There's still real concerns about the geopolitical outlook and the potential for escalation in Ukraine," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategy officer at Tiger Brokers, Australia.
"At the same time, a stronger U.S. dollar and potential for higher interest rates around the globe are keeping a lid on enthusiasm for gold."
The U.S. dollar index gained ground, bolstered by U.S. 10-year Treasury yields hitting a more than three-year high and prospects of aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve to contain soaring inflation. [USD/] [US/]
A stronger dollar makes gold less attractive for other currency holders, while higher U.S. interest rates and yields increase the opportunity cost of holding bullion, which is also used as a hedge against inflationary pressures.
Ukraine's armed forces braced on Monday for a new Russian offensive as powerful explosions rocked cities in the south and east, lending some support to the safe-haven metal.
Palladium gained 3% at 2,499.19 after hitting a more than two-week high earlier in the session.
"The surge in palladium prices is likely to accelerate the shift from palladium to platinum for use in catalytic converters," UBS analysts said in a note.
The auto-catalyst metal had gained 8.6% on Friday after newly refined Russian platinum and palladium were suspended from trading in London, the metals' biggest trade hub.
Spot silver was up 0.1% at $24.77 per ounce and platinum rose 0.7% to $981.88.

Ukraine digs in to fight Russia’s looming eastern offensive
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - A showdown looms in Ukraine after Russia appointed a new military commander and looked to concentrate its attacks in the east, while Ukraine’s president said his troops will hold their ground, urging Western leaders, in particular President Joe Biden, to do more.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Sunday in a nightly address that this week will be as crucial as any during the war, saying “Russian troops will move to even larger operations in the east of our state.”
Ukraine’s fate as the war shifts south and east depends on whether the United States will help match a surge in Russian weaponry, he said, echoing comments he made in an interview with The Associated Press on Saturday.
“To be honest, whether we will be able to (survive) depends on this,” Zelenskyy said in a “60 Minutes” interview. “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.
“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.”
WARNING: Videos may contain graphic content.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer was due to meet Monday in Moscow with Putin, after meeting with Zelenskyy in Kyiv. Austria, a member of the European Union, is militarily neutral and not a member of NATO.
Also Monday, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said it was sending a military transport plane and a support team of 50 to Europe to carry much-needed equipment and supplies to key distribution centers.
More than six weeks of war in Ukraine has flattened cities, killed untold thousands and isolated Moscow economically and politically, and experts say the next phase of the battle may begin with a full-scale offensive that could determine the course of the conflict.
Questions remain about the ability of depleted and demoralized Russian forces to conquer much ground after their advance on the capital, Kyiv, was repelled by determined Ukrainian defenders. Britain’s Defense Ministry says Russia is 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.
Ukrainian authorities accuse 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.
In another report of atrocities, the village of Buzova outside the capital, Kyiv, charred vehicles and buildings marked an area where local official Taras Didych told Ukrainian media Sunday that bodies showing “evidence of execution” were found after Russian forces withdrew from the region. It was unclear how many bodies were discovered.
Buzova is near Bucha, another of the towns near Kyiv, where hundreds of bodies, many with their hands bound and signs of torture, were found after the Russian retreat. Russia has falsely claimed the scenes in Bucha were staged.
In Washington, a senior U.S. official said 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.
Dvornikov, 60, takes over as Russian military prepares to focus on expanding control in Ukraine’s east, where Russia-backed separatists have fought Ukrainian forces in the Donbas region since 2014, declaring some areas independent.
He gained a record for brutality as head of Russian forces deployed to Syria in 2015 to back President Bashar Assad’s government during the country’s devastating civil war.
Russian authorities do not generally confirm such appointments and have said nothing about a new role for Dvornikov, who received the esteemed Hero of Russia medal 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 appointment’s significance.
“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 increasingly is focusing on a sickle-shaped arc of eastern Ukraine — from Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, in the north to Kherson in the south.
That could counter Russia’s earlier problem of spreading its offensive too widely over too broad a geographic area.
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 the convoy that stalled outside Kyiv before Russia gave up trying to take the capital.
On Sunday, Russian forces shelled government-controlled Kharkiv and sent reinforcements toward Izyum to the southeast to try 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.
Missiles twice struck the airport in Dnipro, Ukraine’s fourth-largest city, on Sunday, the regional governor said.
In Mariupol, Russia deployed 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.
The city’s 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.
On Sunday night, Zelenskyy again appealed for more assistance. Speaking with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, he 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 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.”

Verakki at 3: Helping tech firms, others build smart businesses
Three years ago, Verakki was picking up the pieces of a departing Accenture and trying to figure out the best way to fill the big shoes the advisory company left behind.
Today, Verakki has put the shadows of Accenture behind it and is now emerging into its own, becoming the go-to business solution company for many companies, governments at the federal and state level create strategies and harness innovation.
In three years, Verakki has helped in the planning and establishment of the COVID-19 Isolation Centre at Landmark Village, the establishment of Ikoyi Medipark which aims to provide world class health services towards reducing medical tourism, development of a tourism master plan for Edo State in support of the return of the Benin bronzes. It has also supported Lagos State with the conceptualisation and planning of an ICT Park – KITE at Yaba, aimed at creating an enabling ecosystem for tech entrepreneurs in Yaba district to drive investment and job creation.
Verakki is also providing capital and technical services to fintech and tech companies, developing a medium term strategy for a public university, working with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to instill information technology (IT) standards for the banks and fintech companies. There is also an agreement to develop a strategic plan for the Office of the Public Defender, Lagos State.
The first year of the company’s life was very calm, recalls Olaniyi Yusuf, managing partner and former country manager of Accenture Nigeria.

“I remember we added a few things to our goals as a company such as health and transportation which are basic amenities that an average African needs,” Yusuf said. “We later added construction and housing. That level of proactiveness helped.”
Verakki derives its name from a combination of Latin and Greek words. The Latin word ‘Versorium’ means Turn Around while ‘Meraki’ in Greek which describes the action of doing something with soul, creativity, pouring oneself into a task.
Yusuf says the name captures the essence of the company; to turn around Africa enterprises and governments via smart, future-focused solutions and business insights, new opportunities, helping to unleash their potential turnaround, their performance and achieve the seemingly impossible, with the goal of creating a better future for Africa.
“Three years ago, we were convinced that Africa’s largest and most apparent intractable problems require more business solutions conceptualised by Africans and built by Africans,” Yusuf said. It is this trust, steadfastness, and commitment that constantly renews Verakki’s hope and fuels its passion to keep moving towards this next version of Africa or what the company refers to as Africa V2.
One major feat Yusuf is particularly proud of is the company retaining all its clients in the last three years. It has also added more to the portfolio. Some of the new portfolios include Oando Plc, BUA Plc and the Edo State government. It also supports multilateral agencies such as International Finance Corporation (IFC), Afrexim Bank as well as executing projects in multiple African countries.
Verraki is also active in the tech ecosystem, by funding seven startups so far. Funding tech companies became imperative for Verakki to solidify the continent in terms of economic growth and development that will attract Africans in diaspora back to the continent to contribute their quota. The tech ecosystem in Africa is one of the most attractive places for young people in the continent. This is why the majority of the businesses in the ecosystem are founded and led by young people.
Verakki also wants to be known as the company that promotes a healthy working environment. Debo Awojide, HR Lead at Verakki says this is one of the things that stands the company out among peers. She joined Verakki one year after it was established.
Kelvin Balogun, Senior Partner also said he had always wanted to work with a world-class company where the process, skills, and values are of the best standard.
Toluwaleke Adenmosun, another Senior Partner who spent 29 years in Accenture before joining Verakki believes it was the best decision joining Verakki as she has seen the partnership survive over the last three years.
“It was easy for me to learn the culture of what the company wants to be,” Awojide said. “The fact that I can walk up to people within the organisation is a plus for a family and people-oriented company. I want us as an African company with a global outlook to continue to build on the culture that we started with by maintaining our people, client as we continue to grow.”
As the company looks to the future, it wants to be the continent’s go-to in the areas of technology and business solutions. Yusuf sees a need for the African continent to birth giant companies like in the US, Europe, etc. The partners also say they are aware of emerging trends and their intersections with the overarching business imperatives of their clients. The company also pledges to deploy its three complimentary offerings – venture build, Verakki Services, and Verakki Studio, to facilitate tech driven innovation and also help tech entrepreneurs scale their start-up businesses.

Business Monday: Aspen-based vodka brand gets a Lift on Opening Day
While opening day Friday at Coors Field saw the hometown Colorado Rockies fall 5-3 to division rival Los Angeles, next door at the Denver Chop House & Brewery a trio of Aspen men took a swing at promoting their vodka brand.
LJZ Limited Liability Co. — the acronym represents the respective first names of company founders Lance Armstrong, Joe DiSalvo and Zack Neiditz — debuted Lift Vodka over Labor Day 2020. Now midway through the second year of production, Lift Vodka’s owners hope to raise its profile and gradually expand distribution outside of Colorado, and one day distill the vodka in-state.
“The main purpose of today is building that brand awareness in a new market,” said Neiditz, also a bartender at Mi Chola, hours before the Rockies took the field.
They used the 20,000-sqaure-foot Chop House to host table tents for vodka tasting, which allowed “us to interact with these customers and build brand awareness,” said Neiditz.
When the three partners launched Lift Vodka, their approach to the start-up was to grow the brand, but grow it slowly. Lift Vodka soon appeared on the shelves of local liquor stores and behind the bars at downtown restaurants.
“In that time we were self-distributing,” said DiSalvo of the launch. “We were just schlepping the cases around and selling them ourselves. We didn’t have distribution until a year later.”
Neiditz also noted the three didn’t have much difficulty getting Lift Vodka picked up by Aspen merchants. “In Aspen, it was easy with the connections from the three of us,” he said.
Neiditz has worked in the Aspen bar industry since 2010; DiSalvo has been in local law enforcement 37 years, including his current elected role as sheriff of Pitkin County; Armstrong, a household name for his career in competitive bicycle racing, bought a home in Aspen in 2008.
All three are investors and the company has taken on no outside capital, Armstrong said.
Fourteen months after its release, Lift Vodka was picked up for distribution by Southern Wine & Spirits, and the beverage’s presence grew in Colorado. On Nov. 1, it was being distributed throughout the state.
“We are running a small business,” Armstrong said. “It’s like any business. You try to make projections, and obviously going statewide has been a big boost for us.”
When Southern picked up Lift for distribution, the Lift bottles (which come in the size of a fifth, or 750 milliliters) were boxed six at time rather than the previous 12. About six weeks ago Lift cranked out 1,650 cases — which equates to 9,900 bottles, or nearly 2 million gallons of vodka.
“I think the best way to sum that up is that we sell everything we make,” Armstrong said. “We started very small, not just production wise but also expectation wise, and just wanted to see what we had. … The bottom line is we’re blessed with great water in Aspen and so that being the main ingredient, it’s made an incredible product.”
One of the company’s selling points is the vodka comes from non-GMO corn distillate and 100% Aspen water, which is shipped to California where it is distilled.
“For now it’s being distilled in California,” Neiditz said. “As a small start-up we wanted to see we had something that worked before we spent a ton of money and built a huge facility so we outsourced the still, we use 100% Aspen water, we have an account with the city and they love that we use water from there to make an amazing small-batch, local product.”
The company also is eyeing distilling the vodka in Colorado when the time is right.
“For now, we’ve already started to look at bringing it to the valley because it’s been very successful,“ Neiditz said.
Lift Vodka also is working with the Waterboys nonprofit initiative run by former NFL defensive end Chris Long’s foundation. Waterboys works to bring clean water in areas in the impoverished areas of East Africa, primarily Tanzania.
“Our view is you wake up every morning and if you want a glass water, you turn on the tap and drink it and say, ‘Damn, that was really good,’” said Armstrong. “There are literally millions of people around the world that will never have that opportunity. It doesn’t cost a lot to dig a well and change somebody’s life forever.”

In 2020 call outs for mutual aid donations flooded social media, and people responded with an abundance of money, food and time. Two years later, interest and support has waned while the needs have not gone away. As government aid like the child tax credit and stimulus checks expire, organizers across the Bay look at filling in the gaps.

Q: Why is the NBA still acting like COVID is some mysterious deadly disease? It’s a runny nose if you are vaccinated. They are really going to hold players out for five days during the playoffs? Is there daily testing still? — Jeffrey.
A: There is not mandatory NBA testing. But as with the onset of any illness, you also want to get ahead of it, if possible. So with a week off before the start of the postseason, better to get things in order now for Bam Adebayo, rather than having to deal with it down the road. And remember, should the Heat face the Raptors in the second round, it would require mandatory testing (as of now) to fly back home from Toronto. So it’s not just the NBA that still has COVID protocols in place. Yes, Sunday was a shock. But better a shock before a week off than a shock before the start of a playoff series. And remember, Bam also can test out of isolation with two negative tests. I would highly doubt that he would be unavailable for the playoffs. But I’m not a doctor and don’t play one in Ask Ira.
Q: So you’re saying there’s no chance for Victor Oladipo in the playoff rotation? — Thad.
A: No, just saying that the starting lineup of Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, P.J. Tucker and Max Strus proved so successful at season’s end, that I don’t see that changing. And then saying that Tyler Herro and Dewayne Dedmon appear to be the priorities off the bench. So, from there, it could come down to Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo. And it is highly unlikely that more than two of those four make the cut for the primary rotation. Ultimately, it could be situational for Vic, perhaps if the opposition goes small and the Heat can move Butler up to power forward, reducing the minutes for, say, Tucker and Dedmon.
Q: Man, Milwaukee really didn’t want to risk facing the Nets in the first round. — Mickey.
A: Hmm, so you don’t think the Bucks were all-in during Sunday’s season finale when they rolled out a starting lineup against the Cavaliers of Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Jordan Nwora and Jevon Carter, with Jrue Holiday given one minute of playing time to cash in on an appearance bonus? And do you think a further clue was playing Lindell Wigginton as their first reserve? Hmm, you might have been on to something there.

South Africa spinners wrap up crushing win over Bangladesh
Issued on: Modified:
Gqeberha (South Africa) (AFP) – Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer bowled South Africa to a crushing 332-run win on the fourth day of the second Test against Bangladesh at St George's Park on Monday.
Bangladesh were bowled out for 80, losing their remaining seven wickets inside an hour.
Left-arm spinner Maharaj took seven for 40 and off-spinner Harmer claimed three for 34.
It was the second successive match in which the two spinners bowled unchanged through the fourth innings. It was also Maharaj's second seven-wicket haul in successive matches after he took seven for 32 in South Africa's 220-run win in the first Test in Durban.
Three wickets fell in the first half-hour in what for Bangladesh was a depressingly similar pattern to the first Test in Durban when they were bowled out for 53 after starting the last day on 11 for three.
Resuming in a near-hopeless position at 27 for three after being set 413 to win, Bangladesh lost their fourth wicket just eight balls into the day's play.
Mushfiqur Rahim went on a big drive against Maharaj and was smartly caught at slip by South African captain Dean Elgar for one.
Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque did not add to his overnight score of five, top-edging an attempted sweep to midwicket.
Yasir Ali slogged the fourth ball he received from Harmer to deep midwicket and Bangladesh were 44 for six, having lost three wickets for 17 runs in 29 balls since the start of play.
Liton Das batted brightly, scoring 27 and sharing a stand of 25 with Mehidy Hasan before leaping down the wicket against Maharaj to be stumped by Kyle Verreynne.
The last three wickets fell in the space of seven balls.
There were two changes in the South African team after Sarel Erwee and Wiaan Mulder tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday morning.
Khaya Zondo and Glenton Stuurman became the first Covid replacements in Test cricket since the International Cricket Council decided in June 2020 to allow substitutes in Test matches for players testing positive for coronavirus.
It was a first Test cap for specialist batsman Zondo, although he was unable to bat because both South African innings had been completed. Stuurman, with one previous cap, was not called on to bowl.

The Daily Recap: 'He's very instructive, he's to the point'
Here is the April 11 edition of The Daily Recap presented by JFQ Lending.
McClendon making an impression
Georgia receivers coach Bryan McClendon has made his presence felt to the players he’s now coaching. Receiver Ladd McConkey said McClendon has pushed the group throughout spring practice to help further their abilities on the football field.
“Coach McClendon is very demanding. He’s going to let you know what he wants you to do and how he wants you to do it, so he’s been awesome,” McConkey said. “He’s taught us so much in the short time he’s been here, so I’m grateful that we were able to get him. He’s been an awesome pickup.”
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint is a fan of McClendon’s direct approach on the gridiron.
“He’s very instructive, he’s to the point and very clear about everything. He’s very direct. He’s all about work he’s going to make us work,” Rosemy-Jacksaint said. “He’s a real cool guy. I like his vibe and energy he brings to the room.”
Insider notes
Radi Nabulsi dropped some insider notes from Saturday’s scrimmage. Nabulsi wrote about the defense’s performance and which receivers had impressive outings.
Two offensive linemen to transfer
Offensive linemen Amarius Mims and Clay Webb have entered the transfer portal and will continue their collegiate football careers elsewhere.
Mims signed with the Bulldogs two years ago and was considered the second-best offensive tackle in his recruiting class. Mims was repping as Georgia’s No. 2 right tackle and was seeing some reps at left tackle too. It’s thought that Florida State and Miami will be in the mix to land Mims from the transfer portal.
Mims and Webb joined Owen Condon as Georgia offensive linemen to transfer this offseason.
UGASports Call-In Show: What happened with Mims?
Thorson fitting in
With Jake Camarda off to the NFL, Georgia has a sizable hole at punter. The Bulldogs surely hope Australian freshman Brett Thorson will be able to fill the void at the position.
At least from his vantage point, place-kicker Jack Podlesny said Thorson has done a great job punting the ball this spring.
“He’s a stud. He came in the first day and competed his butt off. I can’t say much more about that,” Podlesny said. “It says a lot to come from Australia within a day of his birthday and get to work.”
Geffard’s bond with Searels grows
Jed May spoke with offensive tackle Ian Geffrard (Whitefield Academy/Mableton, Ga.), who offered the latest with where Georgia stands with his recruitment. Geffrard also noted how his relationship with offensive line coach Stacy Searels has grown.
Baseball: Georgia wins another series
Georgia won its third SEC series in its last four tries with Sunday’s 13-9 victory over South Carolina. Georgia improved to 24-8 overall and 8-4 in SEC East play.
“That’s your goal, just try to win a series. You want to win every game you play, but realistically in this league, when you go on the road, you’re doing everything you can just to win a series,” head coach Scott Stricklin said. “We found a way to win that one, and now we’ve won five out of our last six (SEC games).”

Kaori Yuki Launches Angel Sanctuary: Tokyo Chronos Manga on April 20
posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Hakusensha announced on Monday that Kaori Yuki will launch a new manga in her Angel Sanctuary (Tenshi Kinryouku) franchise on April 20 in the Hana Yume Ai web manga magazine. The new manga is titled Angel Sanctuary: Tokyo Chronos (Tenshi Kinryouku: Tokyo Chronos). The first chapter will have 64 pages.
Yuki posted several preview images of the manga on Twitter on Monday, and stated that while the manga will take place after the story of Angel Sanctuary, the manga is an independent work.
情報解禁になりました！令和に蘇る天使禁猟区、あの後のお話しですが独立した話としても読めます！懐かしい奴らも出て来ますのでどうかよろしくお願いします！ https://t.co/Q1XGG6ZrmZ pic.twitter.com/3dX82NBt5J
— 由貴香織里⭕️「落園の美女と野獣」更新中！ (@angelaid) April 11, 2022
Yuki published the Angel Sanctuary manga in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine from 1994 to 2000, and the manga had 20 volumes. The manga inspired a three-episode OVA in 2000 that Central Park Media and later Media Blasters released in English.
Viz Media published all 20 volumes in English, and it describes the story of the first volume:
Why is Setsuna so mixed up? Despite his attempts to be noble, he'll fight anyone anytime; he ignores all authority; and he harbors feelings for his sister that can only be described as "incestuous." Why is he such a mess? The reason may be found with two demons from the underworld and their enemy, an insane angel who is distributing an insidious computer game called Angel Sanctuary.
Viz Media also published two artbooks for the series in English.
Viz Media has also published Yuki's Count Cain, The Cain Saga, Fairy Cube, Godchild, and Grand Guignol Orchestra manga in English. Yen Press has also published Yuki's Demon from Afar and Alice in Murderland manga in English. Kodansha Comics publishes Yuki's Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost manga in English.

Helen Flanagan reveals all three of her children are ill with scarlet fever as cases of the highly contagious infection rocket
Helen Flanagan has revealed that all three of her children are ill with scarlet fever after cases of the infection skyrocketed in the north west of England.
The Corrie actress, 32, is mother to Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and son Charlie, 13 months, with former Celtic player Scott Sinclair.
Scarlet fever is a contagious infection that mostly affects young children but is easily treated with antibiotics.
Under the weather: Helen Flanagan revealed that all three of her children - Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and son Charlie, 13 months - are ill with scarlet fever
Poorly: Taking to Instagram on Monday, Helen shared a snap of Delilah napping on the sofa while she battled with the infection
A main symptom of scarlet fever is a rash of small, raised spots while some also suffer with flu-like symptoms, including a high temperature, a sore throat and swollen neck glands.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Helen shared a snap of Delilah napping on the sofa while she battled with the infection.
She penned: 'All the kids have Scarlet Fever. Glad to know what it is after Delilah not been herself and the medicine to treat it.'
Helen told fans: 'All the kids have Scarlet Fever. Glad to know what it is after Delilah not been herself and the medicine to treat it'
Parents have been warned to be on their guard for chickenpox and scarlet fever as cases rise among children across the country.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued the warning to parents after nearly 3,500 cases of scarlet fever were reported between September 2021 and March 2022 in England.
One school in Manchester was forced to send a letter to parents following an outbreak of the virus, prompting the UKHSA to monitor infection rates in the north west.
The news about Helen's children falling ill follows after she attended Ladies Day at Aintree on Friday with her mum, Julia.
The actress looked chic in a classic brown wrap dress from Never Fully Dressed while at the iconic horse racing event in Liverpool.
Helen carried her belongings in a soft pink suede Dior handbag and accessorised with a netted fascinator in a similar shade.
The soap star boosted her height with a sparkling pair of strappy gold stilettos and completed her look with a gold wristwatch and a pretty pink manicure.
Helen's mum, Julia, commanded attention in a stunning blue bubble wrap frock, which was also from Never Fully Dressed.
She strolled around in silver heels, and held a beaded white clutch bag in her hand, while tying everything together with a bold blue fascinator.

The metaMBA is unique in that it will be made accessible to a large number of people. We’re offering education in the metaverse, which helps students learn in a socially immersive environment.

Which Jade yoga mats are best?
Yoga is a wildly popular activity and rightly so. It offers a myriad of physical, mental and spiritual benefits while welcoming participants of all ages, shapes and sizes to practice alone or in a group. Yoga is accessible to those who are just starting off and diverse enough to continually challenge dedicated yogis who engage daily.
All you need is a yoga mat. Jade yoga mat, one of the leaders in yoga accessories, offers a few different options to cater to all your yoga needs. The Harmony Mat is their signature option, a quality all-around product designed for regular use. Finding the right mat for your body and activity level is crucial to success in yoga.
What to know before you buy a Jade yoga mat
Size
The standard yoga mat is 68 inches long and 24 inches wide. This typically suits most users across most poses. Jade also offers a 71-inch mat and a 74-inch mat for taller individuals.
Additionally, Jade boasts extra large mats that are 80 inches long and 28 inches wide. Extra width comes in handy not only for wider poses, but users can also roll the mat onto itself for extra padding. The yoga mat buying guide at Best Reviews includes more information on sizing and how to find the best fit for your needs.
Material
Most Jade yoga mats are made from natural rubber. This is an alternative to the more common variety of synthetic materials used in mats. Rubber is a terrific choice for environmentally-friendly and eco-conscious consumers, as it is a sustainable, long-lasting resource. Rubber mats are durable and easy to clean, although rubber is more expensive than synthetic alternatives. Keep in mind that rubber is not advised for outdoor use.
Jade does offer two options that are not made from rubber. One mat is made from organic cotton, offering a comfortable spot for a variety of practices, while another comprises organic cotton and Dharba grass, a tropical plant native to India. Both options are better suited for those who may want to practice outside. Although these mats lack the thickness and support for intense practices, they can be used on top of another mat.
Color
Jade yoga mats are available in a variety of bright and bold colors, including blue, purple, pink, slate and jade green. Color does not influence the quality of the mat but offers users a chance to find a color that may be a personal favorite or match their home decor. Some users may also want to match the color to a type of practice they prefer or frequent. Darker shades may be more suited to meditative and restorative practices, while those who work up a sweat with physical sessions may opt for something light and eye-catching.
What to look for in a quality Jade yoga mat
Thickness
The thickness of a yoga mat determines both the potential support and convenience offered. Thicker mats are ideal for those who need extra padding and support during more intense, frequent practices. However, thicker mats are harder to travel with since they are heavier and don’t fold as easily. Alternatively, thinner mats are ideal for taking to class and on the go, but they can lack the comfort some may desire.
The most popular Jade mat is 3/16 of an inch thick, which is about the average thickness. They also offer a thinner mat at 1/16 of an inch, as well as a thicker option at 5/16 of an inch.
Color causes
Jade Yoga features three yoga mat colors that are aimed to raise awareness for health issues, with a portion of the purchase donated in support. Teal mats are in support of ovarian cancer research, saffron mats support autism causes and pink mats raise money in support of breast cancer causes. Teal is offered year-round, while saffron and pink run for a limited time.
How much you can expect to spend on Jade yoga mat
Most Jade yoga mats cost between $65-$100, depending on size and thickness.
Jade yoga mat FAQ
How do I clean my Jade yoga mat?
A. Jade yoga mats are fairly easy to clean. For regular usage, your mat can be wiped with a damp towel every week. For more intense practices, users may want to wipe clean after every session. Owners may opt for Jade’s plant-based mat wash to wipe away any dirt or odor. Harsh chemicals and cleaning products should not be used, as it may damage the materials. Essential oils may also damage the rubber.
What accessories do I need to supplement my yoga mat?
A. With a yoga mat, you’re ready to stretch, meditate and work out as you wish. If you plan on taking your mat to a class or on vacation, it may be worth investing in a convenient bag or carrier so that the mat stays protected. Some yoga enthusiasts may want to acquire blocks as well to assist with certain positions. Bolsters are also another useful tool to integrate into practices, as are yoga blankets.

Thomas Tuchel says Chelsea can 'dream' of 'almost impossible' task of overcoming Real
Last updated on .From the section Chelsea
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says his side are allowed to "dream" as they try to overturn a two-goal deficit at Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The Blues were beaten 3-1 by the Spanish side in the first leg of their quarter-final and travel to the Bernabeu for the return leg on Tuesday.
Chelsea won the competition last season under Tuchel.
"It is one of the biggest challenges to perform away at the Bernabeu," said the German.
"It is even more difficult if you have to earn a certain result, if you need to win with a minimum of two goals or better or maybe a three goal difference. That makes it almost impossible and very, very difficult, but still it is worth trying.
"We need nothing else than a fantastic script that we want to be able to overcome this."
Chelsea knocked Real out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage last season after a 1-1 draw in Spain - in a game played at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium - before following that draw up with a fine 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Real have won Europe's top competition a record 13 times and no English side has ever won a Champions League game at the Bernabeu by more than a single goal.
"The task is incredibly high and the challenge is incredibly high given the circumstances of the first leg, where we play, against whom we play and at what stage we play this kind of match," added Tuchel.
"It's always allowed to dream. It is sometimes important to imagine things and to dream about it, but it will not shift the focus from the fact that we need to deliver and we need to be ready.
"We will arrive and try everything because it's worth trying. From there we see and, hopefully, we have a match where belief grows within the match by our actions and, hopefully, we can fulfil our dream, live up to our dream.
"But realistically, we have to invest a lot and be at our very top level."

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.
A library might not be the first place that comes to mind when you picture a suitable venue for a punk band — unless, of course, you're thinking about The Linda Lindas, who shot to viral stardom after a performance in the Los Angeles Public Library's Cypress Park Branch last year. For the band's Tiny Desk (home) concert, the teen punks returned to the library — this time, playing at the Los Angeles Central Library — with several members even sporting buttons that pledge love to the LA library system. "We're playing the library once more," guitarist Lucia de la Garza says with a smile, in awe of the "cool space." (It feels fitting — after all, having artists perform an intimate, powerful set under daytime office lights is kind of the Tiny Desk's whole thing.)
The four members of The Linda Lindas – sisters Mila de la Garza and Lucia de la Garza, their cousin Eloise Wong and their family friend Bela Salazar – first played together in 2018, as members of a new-wave cover band put together by Kristin Kontrol of Dum Dum Girls. Soon after that, they formed their own punk group, going on to open for artists like Bikini Kill, Alice Bag and Best Coast.
In the band's Tiny Desk (home) concert, each of the members — all between 11 and 17 — take turns singing, starting with "Growing Up," the title track to the band's debut album, sung by guitarist Lucia. After a couple upbeat tracks sung by drummer Mila and bassist Wong about friendship and frustration, the band is joined by an additional percussionist. "We put an advertisement in the library a few days ago," Lucia jokes, before introducing Spencer Lere of the band Bleached (who is also, Mila points out, her drum teacher) for a surfy track sung in Spanish by guitarist Salazar. The band ends its set with the scorching "Racist, Sexist Boy." Co-written by Mila and her cousin, it's the song that first caught the internet's attention with its powerfully righteous anger about a racist incident Mila experienced in the early days of the pandemic. "Here we go — let's blow the roof off," Lucia says dryly just before the final song — but given how hard these four rock, you'd be forgiven for thinking she's not joking at all.

PERMANENT markers are an invaluable resource, but they can also be a risky item to have on hand if you live with small children.
If permanent marker ink ends up somewhere it shouldn't, you can rely on common household items to get remove it safely.
On TikTok, Bella Avila shares life hacks, fun facts, and cool shopping finds with her followers.
In a video about removing permanent marker drawings from various surfaces, the first strategy came from her own prior experiences.
"I used to do these live streams where every time somebody did a big donation, I would write their name in Sharpie somewhere on my body," Avila explained.
That meant her entire body would be coated with permanent marker ink by the end of the stream.
"I quickly had to learn that the best way to get Sharpie off of skin is sunblock," she continued.
Using an aerosol spray sunblock, Avila demonstrated the technique.
She made a mark on her skin in blue permanent marker, then gave it a quick spritz with sunscreen.
After wiping with a rag, the ink was gone. "It comes off very quickly," Avila said.

But if the marker ends up somewhere other than your skin, Avila still has you covered.
Next, Avila demonstrated a way to remove permanent marker from laminated surfaces, like a whiteboard.
If you – or your kids – accidentally use a Sharpie on a whiteboard, the way to remove it should be within arm's reach.
"The best way to get this off is a dry erase marker," Avila explained.
She drew on the whiteboard in permanent marker, then scribbled over her drawing with the dry erase marker intended for use on the surface.
"It comes right off," she said as she wiped the ink away.
In the comments, Avila also wrote that rubbing alcohol can help remove Sharpie ink in dire circumstances – but warned that it can be damaging to some surfaces, especially if used too frequently on skin.

Reltime has developed a next-generation, hybrid financial technology and DeFi ecosystem on top of its permissioned, PoA (Proof-of-Authority) blockchain.
Reltime's personal and business users are able to benefit from highly-secure, transparent and fast transaction speeds of 2-3 seconds on average, utilising dApps, smart contracts and other Reltime features such as guaranteed, automatic collateral. Unlike many banking and fintech industry players, the company cuts out the middleman for all its financial services offered on the Reltime platform.
Commenting on the global launch, Frode van der Laak said: "We are excited to have launched our platform today, giving Reltime's users the opportunity to be totally in charge of their own financial services within our ecosystem. Later this month, Reltime will roll-out its services in over 130 counties. Instead of using SWIFT and traditional lending platforms, Reltime is available 24/7/365, allowing personal and business users to interact and transact without any time constraints, and earn on interest)."
Reltime's beta app for iOS and Android currently includes:
- almost gas-free transaction fees;
- very easy to send and receive funds to users' phone contacts;
- settlement time of between 2-3 seconds, on average;
- Reltime users can offer loans to the Reltime marketplacewith collateral and limited lending risk;
- peer-to-peer lending and borrowing, whereby users themselves are able to set their own terms, interest rate and collateral (with or without).
- users having full control over Reltime's services and with whom they wish to interact and communicate;
- creating joint accounts between two or more users globally and being able to manage the accessibility of such accounts in relation to withdrawals and deposits;
Reltime has created a digital asset called RTO (Reltime Oxygen), which is a stable coin used within the ecosystem.
The firm has listed the RTC token, which plays an important role in Reltime's ecosystem operation. Benefits for RTC owners include:
- by holding the token, owners can benefit from an Interest reduction if they borrow from anyone within the Reltime ecosystem;
- receiving dividends on ecosystem earnings, such as transaction and gas fees, interest payments, business-to-business and openAPI services as well as other future revenues.
During Reltime's Global Launch Party, Reltime's CEO announced two additional RTC listings, on P2PB2B and INDOEX. Reltime has already been listed on BitMart and CoinTiger since November and December 2021, respectively. The company successfully carried out an initial exchange offering (IEO) in October 2021 on BitMart.
Each and every newly-registered Reltime user will receive a welcoming reward of RTC 1,000. In addition, Reltime offers a RTC 500 referral reward to users for signing up their friends and family.
Reltime for developers
Reltime's OpenAPI can be used by developers to build their own dApps on top of the Reltime blockchain.Additional features and services will be introduced later this year, such as:
- the Reltime biometric payment card (anticipated in the third quarter 2022);
- launching digital financial services for several metaverse platforms (anticipated in the fourth quarter 2022);
- DeFi FX exchange, Reltime's swap service (a truly cost-reducing micro exchange between different digital assets);
- a NFT marketplace as well as a number of other dApps on the Reltime blockchain; and
- Whitelabelling of Reltime's applications.

TYLER, Dr. Pamela Chavis, There comes a time in everyone's life when they must leave the ones they love. That time has come for Dr. Pamela Denise Chavis Tyler, daughter of Freeman W. Chavis and the late Alease G. Wade, as she has regained her wings and returned to Heaven the morning of June 22, 2021, after a brief illness (breast cancer). Dr. Pamela Tyler was born in Richmond, Va., and while she started with a GED, she went on to get many degrees including her honorary Doctorate in Divinity. She traveled the world from Germany to Cuba to Japan, spreading the glory of God to all who crossed her path.
Dr. Pamela Tyler accepted Christ in her life right after her mother passed. Her foundation in Christ was rooted in The Temple of Judah and she eventually transitioned to become an active member of many ministries within Mt. Gilead Full Gospel International Ministries. She is adored by many, including her family, friends and all the lives she has blessed over the years.
Dr. Pamela Tyler was preceded in death by her mother, Alease Gates Wade; grandparents, great-grandmother and father; and her loving sister, Cynthia Mae Chavis. She is survived by three children; two sons, Duron Chavis (Nikiya Ellis) and Demetrius Tyler II (Cherrish Tyler); and one daughter, Shametra Tyler Green (Floyd Green); one previous husband, Demetrius Tyler; two siblings, Valencia "Linda" Chavis (Ta'Sasha Darden) and Michael Chavis; aunts, and uncles: Mary Evans, Glenda Kennedy (Earl Kennedy), Cheryl Smith (Michael Smith), Linwood Gates (Geraldine Gates) and Fahmee Mutee; nine grandchildren, Nikolas Tyler, Joy Green, Asaun Chavis, Zion Chavis, Aviance Tyler, Kinyasa Chavis, Demetrius "Trey" Tyler III, Alonzo Tyler and Malik Tyler; several nieces and nephews and a host of cousins, other relatives and many friends. If you have been fortunate or have had the privilege to be blessed to have been in the company of Dr. Pamela Denise Chavis Tyler, you have had the honor of a lifetime to feel her genuine and sincere affection and especially her love for Jesus Christ. She was faithful in her walk with God; she never stopped giving her time and her love and because of that she lives in each of you. She would want you to always: MAKE GOD PROUD! Remains rest at Mimms Funeral Home, 1827 Hull Street, where a Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, June 26, 2021 at 11 a.m. Interment Maury Cemetery.

Chelsea ‘contact Arsenal wonderkid Khayon Edwards’ over summer transfer after sensational scoring form in youth team
CHELSEA are set to make a swoop for Arsenal wonderkid Khayon Edwards in the summer, according to reports.
Edwards, 18, has been in outstanding form for Arsenal's academy.
He has recorded 17 goals and six assists across all levels, and has managed to score in every single under-18's Premier League game this season.
In September, Mikel Arteta was so impressed with his performances that he promoted the striker to train with the first team.
The Gunners are keen for the young star to follow in the footsteps of fellow academy graduates Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.
For the past few months there have been ongoing talks over his first pro contract as Arsenal are keen to tie him down to a long-term deal.

However, according to Goal, Chelsea are looking poach him from their London rivals.
Edwards' scholarship deal expires in June so he will be available for free if an agreement with Arsenal is not struck.
A number of other Premier League clubs are also said to be monitoring the situation, including Southampton, Leeds and Brighton.
Some German clubs are also interested.

They are currently at risk of losing some key players for free at the end of the season including Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger.

Denver, Minnesota St match up in Frozen Four for NCAA title
BOSTON — (AP) — Denver is going for a record-tying ninth NCAA hockey championship. Minnesota State is hoping for its first.
It will be the bluebloods vs. the new blood in the Frozen Four final Saturday night.
“We’re here to win a national championship,” said Denver forward Bobby Brink, who led the nation in scoring this season. “Every one of us want to make a mark on this program. We have such high standards here at Denver. To do that you have to win the national championship. That’s what we’re focused on.”
The schools come into the title game at the TD Garden with different histories and different paths.
Denver is trying to tie Michigan — the team the Pioneers eliminated 3-2 in overtime Thursday night to reach the championship game — for the title record. Minnesota State beat Minnesota 5-1 in the second semifinal.
The Mavericks are in the Frozen Four for the second straight year. Denver has been to four of the last six, but it missed the event in 2021. (Four players on this roster were on the team that reached the semifinals in 2019.)
There are also a lot of similarities.
The two No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament are the two top offensive teams in the nation — the only two with four players topping 40 points. Denver was first in scoring with 4.3 goals per game and second with 170 goals; MSU was second with 4.1 goals per game and first with 177 goals.
“They’ve obviously built something really special that we respect,” Pioneers coach David Carle said on Friday. “We’re excited for the challenge to play them for a banner and a big trophy.”

The weekend of the Frozen Four is when the college hockey world hands out some other prizes, with Minnesota State goalie Dryden McKay taking the Hobey Baker Award that goes to the sport's top player.
McKay had an NCAA-record 38 wins, and his 34 career shutouts are also the most ever. Brink and Minnesota forward Ben Meyers were also finalists.
In other awards, McKay was edged for the Mike Richter Award that goes to the goalie in college hockey. Northeastern’s Devon Levi won it after leading the NCAA with a .952 save percentage — the second-highest in NCAA history — a 1.54 goals-against average of 1.54 and a school-record 10 shutouts. The Huskies sophomore was also named NCAA hockey's top rookie.
Josh Kosack of Union College won the Hockey Humanitarian Award for his work with Schenectady-area youth.
TRANSFERS
Minnesota State has taken full advantage of the NCAA's loosened rules rules on transfers, bringing in Benton Maass (New Hampshire), David Silye (Clarkson) and Josh Groll (Michigan). Cameron Wright took advantage of the extra year granted to players because of COVID-19 and came to Denver after playing for Bowling Green.
“It was a no-brainer ... to be able to play in games like this, to be able to play for the national championship,” Wright said. “It’s definitely something that I recommend to guys if they have the opportunity to do it. Obviously, like I said, we’re playing for a national championship here. It worked out well for me.”
Carle said the combination of the transfer rule and the COVID eligibility waiver is “very much warranted for all the players.”
"It's an exciting opportunity for them because they’re the ones who really lived through the strains and struggles of COVID during what is supposed to be the best four years of their lives," he said.
Wright scored for Denver in the semifinal victory over Michigan on Thursday night. Silye had a goal and an assist to help Minnesota State beat Minnesota, while Maass had a goal and Groll had an assist.
“We’ve been blessed,” Mavericks coach Mike Hastings said. “All three of these young men have had an impact on our program in a short period of time. I think that has to do with the makeup of the human beings and the young men themselves. They’ve come in with the idea we’re going to earn everything we get.”
But Hastings said the transfer situation is “ever-evolving.”
“I just think the portal is continuing to become more and more part of processes of structuring the roster,” he said. “Now, we’ve got our own philosophies on what we’re going to do with that. Hopefully we can stay true to those. But I do think we need to continue to be flexible in our mindset of what’s going to happen.”

The sister of murdered primary school teacher Sabina Nessa has said their family would have been treated better if they had been a “normal British white family”.
Jebina Yasmin Islam said there has been no support from the government, describing people in senior positions as “useless”, and pointing out that the murder of Sarah Everard received more coverage in the press.
She also accused Home Secretary Priti Patel of using her sister’s name “for publicity reasons”.
Koci Selamaj, an “evil” sexual predator, was jailed for at least 36 years for the murder of Nessa.
‘They’ve said nothing’
The 36-year-old travelled to London from the south coast to carry out the premeditated attack on a random woman on September 17 last year.
On Friday, Selamaj refused to go to the Old Bailey and was jailed for life in his absence.
In an interview broadcast on Monday morning, Islam said she had had support from the Royal Borough of Greenwich and MP Clive Efford but “higher up people” had been “useless”.
She told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “They’ve not said nothing. Priti Patel has done a tweet on Friday and I was not happy about it because all of a sudden she’s using my sister’s name for publicity reasons.
“And to be honest she has no right.”
Islam said newspapers treated her sister’s murder “differently” to the murder of Sarah Everard.
“My sister didn’t get as much headlines, I feel, at the start. Maybe was it down to her ethnicity?” she said.
“She didn’t get the front pages on some of the papers, and in Sarah Everard’s case she did. I think it’s just down to our ethnicity, to be honest.
“And I feel like if we were a normal British white family we would have been treated equally, I guess.”
‘He’s such a coward’
Asked about Selamaj not attending his sentencing, Islam said: “I was frustrated. We were like, ‘He is such a coward, not facing up to what he has done’.
“It made me angry because I wanted him to hear our impact statement to show how much hurt he’s caused my family.”
Asked if the court should have the power to force someone to attend, she said: “Definitely. I think it’s so important, the fact that they should be able to make the murderer, the perpetrator, come into court and listen.”
Islam said convicts should not have the freedom to say they do not want to attend court.
Garage worker Selamaj targeted 28-year-old Nessa as she walked through Cator Park in Kidbrooke, south-east London, to meet a friend at 8.34pm on September 17.
CCTV footage captured the moment he ran up behind her and hit her over the head 34 times with a 2ft metal traffic triangle.
He carried her unconscious body up a grassy bank and out of view. He then pulled up her clothes, removed her tights and underwear, and strangled her before covering her body in grass.
Nessa, who taught a year one class at Rushey Green Primary School in Catford, was found nearly 24 hours later near a community centre in the park.

Once a retail giant, Kmart will be down to 3 stores after NJ closing
AVENEL, N.J. (AP) — The familiar sights and sounds are still there: the scuffed and faded floor tiles, the relentless beige-on-beige color scheme, the toddlers’ clothes and refrigerators and pretty much everything in between.
There’s even a canned recording that begins, “Attention, Kmart shoppers” — except it’s to remind folks about COVID-19 precautions, not to alert them to a flash sale over in ladies’ lingerie like days of old.
Many of the shelves are bare, though, at the Kmart in Avenel, New Jersey, picked over by bargain hunters as the store prepares to close its doors for good April 16.
Once it shutters, the number of Kmarts in the U.S. – once well over 2,000 – will be down to three last holdouts, according to multiple reports, in a retail world now dominated by Walmart, Target and Amazon.
The demise of the the store in the middle-class suburb, 15 miles south of New York City, is the tale of the death of the discount department store writ small.
“You’re always thinking about it because stores are closing all over, but it’s still sad,” said cashier Michelle Yavorsky, who said she has worked at the Avenel store for 2 ½ years. “I’ll miss the place. A lot of people shopped here.”
In its heyday, Kmart sold product lines endorsed by celebrities Martha Stewart and Jaclyn Smith, sponsored NASCAR auto races and was mentioned in movies including “Rain Man” and “Beetlejuice.” It was name-dropped in songs by artists from Eminem to the Beastie Boys to Hall and Oates; in 2003, Eminem bought a 29-room, suburban Detroit mansion once owned by former Kmart chairman Chuck Conaway.
The chain cemented a place in American culture with its Blue Light Specials, a flashing blue orb affixed to a pole that would beckon shoppers to a flash sale in progress. Part of its success was due to its early adoption of layaway programs, which allowed customers who lacked credit to reserve items and pay for them in installments.
For a time, Kmart had a little bit of everything: You could shop for your kids’ back-to-school supplies, get your car tuned up and grab a meal without leaving the premises.
“Kmart was part of America,” said Michael Lisicky, a Baltimore-based author who has written several books on U.S. retail history. “Everybody went to Kmart, whether you liked it or not. They had everything. You had toys. You had sporting goods. You had candy. You had stationery. It was something for everybody. This was almost as much of a social visit as it was a shopping visit. You could spend hours here. And these just dotted the American landscape over the years.”
Kmart’s decline has been slow but steady, brought about by years of falling sales, changes in shopping habits and the looming shadow of Walmart, which coincidentally began its life within months of Kmart’s founding in 1962.
Struggling to compete with Walmart’s low prices and Target’s trendier offerings, Kmart filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early 2002 — becoming the largest U.S. retailer to take that step — and announced it would close more than 250 stores.
A few years later, hedge fund executive Edward Lampert combined Sears and Kmart and pledged to return them to their former greatness, but the recession and the rising dominance of Amazon contributed in derailing those goals. Sears filed for Chapter 11 in 2018 and currently has a handful of stores left in the U.S. where it once had thousands.
Kmarts continue to operate in Westwood, New Jersey; Bridgehampton, on New York’s Long Island, and Miami.
It didn’t have to end this way, according to Mark Cohen, director of retail studies at Columbia University in New York and former CEO of Sears Canada. Trying to compete with Walmart on price was a foolish strategy, he said, and Lampert was criticized for not having a retail background and appearing more interested in stripping off the assets of the two chains for their cash value.
“It’s a study in greed, avarice and incompetence,” Cohen said. “Sears should have never gone away; Kmart was in worse shape, but not fatally so. And now they’re both gone.
“Retailers fall by the wayside sometimes because they’re selling things people don’t want to buy,” he continued. “In the case of Kmart, everything they used to sell, people are buying but they’re buying it from Walmart and Target.”
Transformco, which owns Kmart and Sears, did not respond to an email seeking comment and a phone number listed for the company was not taking messages.
Nationwide, some former Kmarts remain vacant while others have been replaced by other big-box stores, fitness centers, self-storage facilities, even churches. One former site in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is now a popular dine-in movie theater.
Employees at the Kmart in Avenel found out last month that the store would close.
Unlike 20 years ago, when news of impending Kmart closures around the country prompted an outpouring of support from loyal shoppers and a Detroit radio station even mounted a campaign to try and save a local store, the closing of the Avenel location was met mostly with an air of resignation.
“It’s maybe a little nostalgic because I’ve lived my whole life in this area, but it’s just another retail store closing,” said Jim Schaber, a resident of nearby Iselin who said his brother worked in the shoe department at Kmart for years. “It’s just another sign of people doing online shopping and not going out to the retail stores.”
The closing packed a little more of an emotional punch for Mike Jerdonek, a truck driver who recalled shopping at Kmart in Brooklyn and Queens in his younger days.
“It’s like history passing right in front of our eyes,” he said as he sat in his car outside the Avenel store. “When I was younger I didn’t have any money, so it was a good place to shop because the prices were cheap. And to see it gone right now, it’s kind of sad.”

New Delhi: Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor remembers working with her late husband and actor Rishi Kapoor. The duo appeared in several films together and Neetu revealed she would say yes to various projects if Rishi asked her to. The actress, who is currently enjoying working said during her young days she was a ‘chamchi’ (sycophant) of Rishi Kapoor and did nothing of her own will.
In an interview with news agency PTI, Neetu shared, “Today, my heart is saying, I want to work. I want to be busy, don't want to be alone, and think about the past. I want to be mentally occupied, travel, shoot, and do TV shows. I don't want to sit at home. There were films that I did with my husband and I was like a chamchi (sycophant), he would say come and do it. Apni will se kuch nahi kiya (I did not do it off my own will).”
Neetu is currently busy working on multiple projects. The actress will next be seen in Kiara Advani, Varun Dhawan and Anil Kapoor starrer film ‘Jug Jug Jeeyo’. She is also part of the dance reality show Dance Deewane Juniors, where she will feature as a judge along with Marzi Pestonji and Nora Fatehi.
Talking about taking projects to please her husband, Neetu revealed, “Jug Jugg Jeeyo is my will. I was doing (all that) trying to make my husband happy. Like, one shot in Love Aaj Kal, then with Do Dooni Chaar some actress didn’t want to be a mother of two older children, I don’t have those hang-ups. They requested and I did it. So, I was doing him a favour, not that I wanted to do."
Neetu said that after the death of her husband she willingly is taking up work to keep herself occupied. “It has been a ride for me, for the whole family. There is so much support for each other. We are keeping ourselves busy. My kids told me don’t sit at home, get busy. I don’t want to sit and think, and be sad. I want to be busy with work, meet people. Earlier, it was all about my husband and kids." She also added, "All these years, I was receiving loads of offers. I didn’t feel like doing it because my world was busy, occupied, now my world is empty. I want to be busy. So, I am inviting work into my life,” she told.
Neetu and Rishi worked in various movies together such as ‘Kabhi Kabhie’, ‘Amar Akbar and Anthony’, ‘Rafoo Chakkar’, ‘Khel Khel Mein’ among others. In the recent past, the two shared screen space in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ (2009), ‘Do Dooni Chaar’ (2010), and ‘Besharam’ (2013).

Americans need to make their own medical risk assessments as covid-19 cases accelerate in the United States, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser said, reflecting a less virulent virus and public exhaustion with restrictions.
"This is not going to be eradicated and it's not going to be eliminated," Anthony Fauci said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "And what's going to happen is that we're going to see that each individual is going to have to make their calculation of the amount of risk that they want to take."
Fauci's comments contrast with more dire warnings he issued during earlier phases of the pandemic. The shift in tone by the Biden administration comes as Americans have tired of restrictions. Almost all have now been lifted, while vaccines, immunity and treatments are helping keep cases less severe.
Meanwhile, in the nation's capital, more than 50 people who attended the elite Gridiron Club dinner on April 2 have tested positive for the coronavirus, The Washington Post reported -- at least 8% of those who attended. The list of the infected includes the U.S. attorney general, Commerce secretary, aides to Vice President Kamala Harris and first lady Jill Biden, and the sister of the president.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who didn't attend the dinner, has also tested positive, raising concern about time she spent in proximity to Biden before her diagnosis.
Fauci said White House protocols "are sufficient to protect" the president. Biden spent an hour with Pelosi in the two days before she tested positive last week, including an embrace and a kiss on the cheek.
"The protocols to protect the president are pretty strong," Fauci said, adding that Biden has had four covid-19 shots and people who come in contact with him must be tested.
Driven by the BA.2 omicron subvariant, average reported U.S. infections reached almost 100,000 on Friday, the most in a month. Health experts say many cases are being missed, in part due to more widespread home testing.
Infections remain a fraction of the peak of the omicron variant wave in January, when daily cases spiked as high as 1.3 million. Deaths and hospitalizations are still falling.
Some people may want to take extra precautions, Fauci said.
"What is my age?" he said. "Do I have people at home who are vulnerable that, if I bring the virus home, there may be a problem?"
RESULTS UNKNOWN
Testing and viral sequencing are critical to responding quickly to new outbreaks of covid-19. As the country tries to move on from the pandemic, demand for lab-based testing has declined and federal funding priorities have shifted. The change has forced some testing centers to shutter while others have raised prices in response to the end of government-subsidized testing programs. People are increasingly relying on at-home rapid tests if they decide to test at all. But those results are rarely reported, giving public health officials little insight into how widespread the virus truly is.
"There's always more spread than we can detect," said Abraar Karan, an infectious disease physician at Stanford University. "That's true even more so now than earlier in the pandemic."
"We are probably underestimating the number of infections we are having now because many of the infections are either without symptoms or minimally symptomatic and you will miss people that do it at home," said Fauci on Wednesday.
Despite groundbreaking scientific advances such as vaccines and antivirals, public health experts say the U.S.' covid-19 defenses appear to be getting weaker as time goes on, not stronger.
"We're in a worse position," said Julia Raifman, an assistant professor of health law, policy and management at Boston University School of Public Health. "We've learned more about the virus and how to address it, and then we haven't done what we need to do to address it."
In late February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began relying on hospital admissions and ICU capacity to determine community-level risk. That was a change from relying on covid-19 case counts and the percentage of positive tests, which are widely considered a better snapshot of how much virus is circulating in a given community. Several states, including Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and Ohio, have now completely stopped reporting daily covid-19 data to the CDC, making it more difficult to gauge the progression of the pandemic in those states.
According to the CDC, the majority of the country is still considered low risk. Public health experts argue this is misleading though, given hospitalization and death generally occur days to weeks after initial infection.
"CDC is understating and downplaying cases," said Gregg Gonsalves, an infectious disease expert at Yale's School of Public Health. "Their alarm bells won't go off until we see a rise in hospitalizations and deaths, which are lagging indicators."
CASES PICK UP
In recent weeks, cases have started to tick up in places such as New York, Massachusetts and Chicago. National leaders have largely declared victory over the virus, but some local governments are starting to again urge caution. New York City delayed lifting a mask mandate for children under 5 years of age because of rising cases and the city's health commissioner recommended New Yorkers return to masking indoors.
In New Jersey, Stacy Flanagan, the director of health and human services for Jersey City, said that in the past three months she's had just two people call to report positive at-home tests. Cases are continuing apace in the city with an average of 64 new cases per day, according to health department data. That's almost double the number of daily cases reported a month ago.
Public health experts are left to piece together data from a variety of sources. For weeks, sewer data has shown cases are increasing in some regions of the U.S. -- foreshadowing the uptick in positives that places like New York and Massachusetts are now seeing.
WAITING FOR NEXT WAVE
The White House maintains there's enough data about covid-19 in circulation to catch the next surge. Tom Inglesby, senior policy adviser for Biden's covid-19 Response Team, said the CDC gets 850,000 lab-based test results every day, which he believes is sufficient to detect trends in the positivity rate and variant prevalence.
"It is true that there is a larger shift now to switch to over-the-counter testing, that's definitely happening," Inglesby said. "There are various efforts underway to try to assess whether people might be willing to voluntarily report some fraction of those tests that are being performed at home." One biotech company, Ellume, has rolled out an at-home test and app that automatically reports positive tests to the CDC through a secure, HIPAA-compliant connection.
Meanwhile the CDC has pledged to ramp up its wastewater surveillance efforts. Environmental surveillance, like many other tools to track covid-19, may be at risk without additional funding from Congress. On April 5, lawmakers reached an agreement to reallocate $10 billion to pandemic preparedness, which White House press secretary Jen Psaki said would fund "the most immediate needs" such as antivirals and tests. But that bill has yet to clear the Senate.

Thomas Tuchel Reveals Chelsea Can 'Dream' Ahead of Real Madrid Clash
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel reveals his side can 'dream' ahead of their Champions League clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
The Blues are currently 3-1 down on aggregate against the La Liga giants, with Karim Benzema scoring a hat-trick in the first leg at Stamford Bridge last week.
Tuchel's side will now travel to the Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg of the tie with a huge task ahead of them if they want to progress to the semi-finals of the competition.
When speaking to the media ahead of the clash, the German boss revealed that Chelsea can 'dream' of a comeback against Madrid as they look to defend their European crown.
"We need nothing else than a fantastic script if we want to overcome it. The task is incredibly high given the circumstances, where we play, who we play, at what stage. We are always allowed to dream. It is important to imagine, to dream about it.

"It will not shift the focus from the fact we need to deliver and we will be ready. We will support our team and try hard. It is worth trying, it's sports. It's the game and the beauty of the game is everything is possible always. It is worth trying. We will see.
"Hopefully we have a match where belief grows. Hopefully we can fulfil our dream, live up to our dream. We have to invest a lot and live up to our level."
Chelsea will go into the match off the back of their 6-0 win against Southampton on Saturday, with Marcos Alonso, Mason Mount, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz all scoring against the Saints.
It ended the Blues' run of consecutive defeats after they lost to Brentford and Madrid within the space of a few days after the international break.

RBI's hawkish pivot spurs economists to move up rate calls
1 min read.02:38 PM ISTBloomberg
Citigroup now sees the RBI’s rate lift-off happening in August, as opposed to an October timing it had earlier predicted, while HSBC Holdings sees two moves each this year and the next, pushing the key rate to 5% by mid-2023, versus a previous outlook of 4.5% by end-March

The Indian central bank’s unexpected signal that it’s heading toward exiting easy monetary policy is prompting some economists to revise their outlooks on the timing and number of rate hikes this year.
Citigroup Inc. now sees the Reserve Bank of India’s rate lift-off happening in August, as opposed to an October timing it had earlier predicted, while HSBC Holdings Plc sees two moves each this year and the next, pushing the key rate to 5% by mid-2023, versus a previous outlook of 4.5% by end-March.

The RBI surprised markets Friday by saying it now prioritizes tackling inflation over supporting economic growth, shifting gears after more than two years.

Governor Shaktikanta Das and his colleagues signaled they will focus on withdrawing accommodative policies, while introducing a new 3.75% standing deposit facility rate to soak up excess cash from lenders.
“The tweak in the guidance to acknowledge the need to start withdrawal of accommodation leaves the June rate review live for a change in the stance to neutral," Radhika Rao, an economist at DBS Bank Ltd., wrote in a note, referring to the next policy announcement scheduled for June 8.
Rao retained her expectation for the benchmark repurchase rate to be raised by a cumulative 75 basis points, from 4% now, during the current fiscal year through March. She sees local factors guiding the decision, rather than the global tightening cycle led by the Federal Reserve.

The policy decision last week effectively kicked off a tightening cycle to tackle inflation, which the monetary authority sees averaging 5.7% in the current fiscal year, against a 4.5% forecast earlier.
India has two policy objectives of safeguarding growth and controlling inflation and two instruments -- fiscal policy and monetary policy -- to achieve that, HSBC economists led by Pranjul Bhandari wrote in a report to clients.
“An appropriate strategy, whereby fiscal policy set by the government focuses on growth and monetary policy set by the RBI focuses on inflation, could achieve an optimal outcome," they wrote.

Best home treadmills UK 2022: stay fit with an at-home treadmill from NordicTrack, JTX, Decathlon, Argos
Wanting to get fit, but not have to face the elements? These excellent treadmills will help you keep running, without having to leave home
Best home treadmills UK: the best safe, at-home treadmills from NordicTrack, JTX and Decathlon
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
Cast your mind back to March 2020, and the first lockdown: at-home fitness equipment started selling out online everywhere as people sought a means of keeping fit that didn’t involve hitting the gym.
Thankfully, lockdowns are for now a thing of the past, but at-home treadmills remain a popular purchase, an easy, convenient means of staying fit without having to leave the house.
Is it worth buying a treadmill?
At first it may seem unnecessary to invest in a treadmill when running is an activity you can undertake in the great outdoors. But if you can afford a treadmill, the convenience they provide is great.
Firstly, and perhaps mostly obviously, it allows you to exercise regardless of what the weather is doing, or the time of day. No worries about visibility, sleet, wet, ice - at the moment this is quite the boon.
With children at home, as well, it can allow you to incorporate exercise into your regime without worrying about who is minding the children.
What do I have to watch out for?
The downsides of a treadmill are two-fold. The first is that even if you opt for a smaller model, you’ll need a reasonable amount of space in your household dedicated to storing your new piece of kit.
The second is the issue of the smell. Ensure wherever you store your treadmill is well ventilated, unless you want a room of your house to permanently smell of stale sweat.
Good airflow and - if you can - an air purifier will make sure you’re not stuck in a household that reeks like a high school boy’s locker room.
What is the difference between a cheap treadmill and a more expensive one?
Of course, budget wise, you’re going to purchase whatever you can afford, but as with most things, the more you spend, the more high-performing your purchase will be.
Even if you’re not interested in some of the more swanky bells and whistles that treadmills can come with, such as video displays, Bluetooth, sound systems, be advised that a pricier treadmill will likely be quieter, able to go to a higher speed, and feel more comfortable underfoot, thanks to ‘dampening’ technology.
Cheaper treadmills can often make for a noisy, knobbly footfall, which can make it more difficult to run longer distances. This is especially worth considering if you are older or have joint pains, or an irregular running stride.
JTX SPRINT-7: LARGE MOTORISED TREADMILL
This is the market leading treadmill in the UK at the moment - and it's on sale, with £400 off the RRP.
With cushiontop technology and a large deck, it will both absorb the impact of your stride and allow adequate space for you to move comfortable. A top speed of 20kph will allow sprinters and those working on their anaerobic threshold to sprint at great speed, while the 15 per cent incline and 43 pre-set programs are ideal for keeping you challenged.
Every detail you miss from a gym treadmill is present: great grip underfoot, a bright, wide display, dual bottle holders, even an iPad holder. It folds away easily as well. A proper star.
Nordictrack EXP 7i
This is a particularly impressive machine, especially if you find yourself missing the features a gym treadmill offers. With a seven inch touchscreen and one touch control, it’s a piece of cake to switch up (or down) the intensity of your workout.
The machine goes up to 22km/h - perfect for HIIT running - and an incline of up to 12% for hill-running.
As with the other Nordictrack treadmill on this list, it’s seriously good at cushioning the impact of running, if you’ve dodgy joints at all (or simply want to avoid getting them).
And it comes with a free one-year subscription to iFit, so you’ll be able to do fun, interactive workouts for a year.
Opti Folding Treadmill
This is a popular inexpensive option. It folds away easily, making it good for those with limited space.
That said, the low price tag comes with a few drawbacks - the running surface is narrow (not great if you’re broad), and the top speed is 12km/h - so if you are interested in improving your speed there’s no scope here.
It does have three incline levels, though - so you can challenge yourself with hill running.
Best Deals Available
{{/hasItems}} {{#items}} {{/items}}Nordictrack Commercial 2450
Looking for the gym experience at home? Look no further. This commercial treadmill offers one touch control, inclines from -3 to 15%, and up to 22km per hour speed - perfect if you like sprint or fartlek training.
The video display allows you to take interactive sessions with personal trainers who will control your speed, incline, or decline in real time, to really put you through your paces.
We’re seriously impressed with the Commercial 1750- it’s quieter than most treadmills, offers a comfortable fool-strike, and has a self-cooling system to ensure it doesn’t over-heat.
One year’s iFit membership comes with purchase, allowing you to join in interactive classes for no extra cost.
Decathlon Domyos Non-Motorised Treadmill W100
We are - we have to admit - not well disposed to non-motorised treadmills, finding them uncomfortable to get a steady cadence on.
That said, if you’re after a cheap, quiet option, this popular non-motorised choice from Decathlon is your best bet.
It folds away easily, and has a non-adjustable 15% incline, so you can run uphill. If you’re new to running or quite slow-paced, this will work for you - long-time runners will likely find it frustrating.
JTX Sprint-3 Electric Treadmill
This mid-range model is an excellent option. Easy to assemble, with a top speed of 16 k/ph and an incline range that goes up to 12%, unless you’re a sprinter you’ll likely find it able to put you through your paces.
The cushionstep makes it pleasant under foot - it’s not too knobbly or noisy - and it folds up easily to be stored away.
The speakers work well, though the built-in fan isn’t impressive (they usually aren’t, unless you purchase a commercial model). You’ll need to give the machine a decent oiling ahead of use but otherwise it’s an excellent, inexpensive option.
Lontek U3 Bluetooth Treadmill
Lontek’s Treadmill will allow you to run up to 15 km/h. It’s a narrow number that folds up easily, meaning you can store it when not in use.
Apart from an LED screen display and stereo speakers, there are no bells and whistles here, but if you’re happy running at a steady pace, the Lontek will serve you nicely.
Proform Performance 375i
Not too pricey, there’s a great deal to like about the Proform, which offers a wide workout deck, making it comfortable to run on.
There’s not as much dampening as you get with the Nordictrack options (that’s the price difference for you), but it doesn’t feel knobbly or rickety like the budget choices.
What you do get, though, is a machine with a 18 km/h top speed - more than enough to challenge most runners - and an incline of 10%. The iPad holder is handy if you like watching telly as you run.

Shares of PCBL (Phillips Carbon Black) surged more than 4% on the BSE in Monday's trading session, as the stock started trading ex-split, a day ahead of its record date for sub-division or stock split of one equity share to two equity shares.
Shares of PCBL (Phillips Carbon Black) surged more than 4% on the BSE in Monday's trading session, as the stock started trading ex-split, a day ahead of its record date for sub-division or stock split of one equity share to two equity shares.
"We wish to inform you that the Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has fixed Tuesday, 12th April, 2022 as the Record Date for determining the eligibility of shareholders, with regard to the sub-division of l(one) equity share of face value of ₹2/- per share up to 2 (two) equity shares of face value of Re1/ per share, as approved by the shareholders through postal ballot by way of electronic means on 17th March, 2022," PCBL had announced in an exchange filing.

A stock split increases the number of shares that are outstanding by issuing more shares to the current shareholders. Stock split decreases the market price of the individual shares, however, does not result in changing the market capitalization of the company.
A company engages in stock-split decision to make its stock more affordable if its price levels are very high, which in thus would lead to increase in liquidity in the stock.
PCBL , a part of RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, is the among the largest carbon black manufacturer in India and with customer base in 40+ countries. Apart from its four state-of-the-art plants at Durgapur (West Bengal), Palej (Gujarat), Mundra (Gujarat) and Kochi (Kerala), it also has research and development (R&D) centres at Palej (Gujarat and Ghislenghien (Belgium).
Shares of Phillips Carbon Black have declined about 38% in a year's period whereas the chemical stock is down more than 48% in 2022 (year-to-date or YTD) so far.

The heat is on!
LAREDO, TX. (KGNS) - It’s the second week of April and we are already starting to see those summer temperatures pop up in our area but some changes are coming.
On Monday we’ll start out rather windy and breezy from that red flag advisory that we saw over the weekend.
This will linger into Monday morning and we’ll start out in the low 70s and see a high of about 96 degrees.
As we head into the second day of the week, we’ll hit those triple digits earlier than expected.
On Tuesday expect a high of 102 and lows in the 70s.
These triple digit temperatures will continue to linger on into Wednesday with a high of 100.
Now we will drop in to the 60s on Wednesday giving us a high of about 96 on Thursday.
The low 90s will continue to linger for just another day on Friday.
This weekend expect a high of 100 degrees for both days. Fortunately, we could see one last cold front of the season before we put the jackets away for good.

My boyfriend hasn't taken me on a date in 4 years and refuses to be intimate. When do I end it?
Question: "My boyfriend and I have been dating for six years now. We started dating in grade 11, but we’ve basically been better together since grade 8. We even went to university together and now share an apartment. He is a great guy, and has always been my best friend, even before we started dating.
When we started dating it was amazing. He was the most romantic and best boyfriend ever. I was obsessed with him and felt like the luckiest girl in the world. That being said, as time went on and we went to university, he stopped wanting to be intimate with me as much as usual, stopped buying me flowers, hasn’t taken me on a date in about four years and rarely compliments me. Any time we are intimate it’s because I’m initiating it, and most times he will shut me down about four times before agreeing and wanting to do anything.
I have bawled my eyes out and talked to him about it probably over 75 times over the last four years, even asking him if he’s still into me and saying if not, he should just leave me. He always answers that he’s so in love with me and thinks I’m so beautiful and apparently loves being intimate with me, but has a bad way of showing it. Apparently, mentally for him he finds doing anything romantic with me very hard because he’s just not good at it, which I know is a lie because the first two years of dating, he was something out of a movie with how cute and romantic he was. I really don’t know what to do anymore. Other than all the romantic and intimacy issues, we get along great, and when we are intimate it is good. I just feel I shouldn’t always be the one initiating it.
Should I walk away? My boyfriend moved in after just a few months and then totally changed.
I feel like his lack of romance has given me doubts and driven me to have body issues and be somewhat insecure. At this point I’m not sure what to do as I’ve told him how I feel and it’s always “I’m working on it,” but there has been little-to-no progress, and I’m not sure I can continue to feel this way for another year. What should I do?"
Answer: A regular co-host on my podcast "Two Hot Takes," Lauren Rolfe, has dealt with something very similar in a past relationship. I think she would be a great person to address your issue, so I am going to suggest she weigh in. Lauren, what do you think?
"When it comes to a committed relationship, I recommend focusing on what you feel versus what your partner is saying. It doesn’t matter if your partner says they love you or respect you 100 times a day if you don’t feel you are receiving love and respect the way you would like. Sometimes we gravitate toward familiarity, safety and our routine, which is why it is easy to stay in a situation we are unhappy with. Now this may not be your case, but it’s something I’ve noticed with friends and family in their relationships, especially when it comes to partners they started dating at an early age.
My husband's best friend lives with us: Can I kick him out?
You have been with your partner for quite some time, and it’s easy to imagine the potential you could have and ignore the reality of where he's at. If you feel you have communicated your needs effectively and there has been no change, then it is time you look figure out what is best for you. Usually, women emotionally check out of relationships before they actually make the decision to end it. So you may have the answer to your issues already but may be avoiding it because it’s scary to act on. And while change can be scary, it’s sometimes necessary to grow. However, you may decide you’d like to give your relationship another shot, and that is also OK.
If you decide to stay with your partner, I recommend looking into love languages and attachment styles. The way people show love can be vastly different. The love languages have been grouped into five categories: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service and gift giving. There are many books on this topic that can help you to further explore your needs, your partner’s needs and how both needs can be met while also promoting a deeper connection between you two.
In my past, I have been in a relationship where my partner and I had completely different love languages and it caused some conflicts. Something that really helped us to understand each other better was to take an online quiz on love languages separately and talk about our results together after. Through this exercise, I realized that I was so focused on how I want to experience love from him that I wasn’t thinking about how he wanted to experience love from me. Learning about him helped me give him a space to communicate his feelings with me, which in turn led him to hearing my needs more clearly as well. This is an intimate, vulnerable exchange so be sure to give each other grace and the room to talk freely. Feeling love from our partner is the most basic emotional need in a relationship and you deserve to find that — whether it be in your current relationship or elsewhere.
Wishing you the best,
Morgan and Lauren

My coworker outed me, and I am horrified: What should I say to her?
Who's right? I want to wear a black wedding dress but my mom refuses to attend if I do.
Am I overreacting? My boyfriend won't stop looking at other women on Instagram.

Editor,
Are we going to promote the struggle against the Russian invasion to the the last Ukrainian? Let’s not let our bipartisan chest thumping even in the face of war crimes by Putin’s forces blind us to the simple fact that this has to end in a dialogue of the two sides taking into account the needs of both. Yes the needs of the Russian side. This invasion didn’t happen in a vacuum. The conflicting segments of Ukrainian society have been at loggerheads for over 20 years. Discrimination and violence on all sides. We need to stop just bellowing for more weapons while of course not committing to war against Russia by NATO. It has the appearance of goading the Ukrainians to continue the battle without end with no one left standing. Consult the works of Sun Tzu from 500 BC in providing a Golden Bridge for your opponent if the battle would destroy both sides.

Leicester City are reportedly keeping an eye on Swansea City striker Joel Piroe ahead of a potential summer move.
The forward has impressed in his first season at the Liberty Stadium, scoring 18 goals in 39 Championship appearances so far this campaign. His latest goals came as he scored a brace in Swansea’s 2-1 win over Derby County on Saturday afternoon.
The 22-year-old joined the Championship club from PSV Eindhoven in the summer transfer window. It is reported that Swansea paid a fee of around £1million for the striker, who has two years remaining on his contract at the club.

According to Dutch outlet Voetbal international, City now ‘emphatically follow’ the progress of Piroe and could make a move for the striker in the "near future".
It’s not the first time that City have been linked with the Dutchman, with links surfacing back in December. Reports in Swansea claimed that scouts had been in attendance at four games and were "carefully researching" the player’s profile.
Speaking about the potential interest last year, the striker says that he was unaware of any interest shown by City. “No, I haven’t heard anything about that,” he said.
“Of course, you always want to reach the top. As a professional player, that should be everyone’s ambition. “But I just want to enjoy the moment I am in right now. Swansea is perfect for me because I am doing what I always wanted.
Brendan Rodgers has spoken about the need for a squad ‘refresh’ in the summer transfer window, meaning that players could arrive when the window opens. City, however, are not likely to prioritise signing a striker with Jamie Vardy, Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka meaning that they are already well-stocked in the area. At just 22, Piroe does however fall into the sort of signing that City like to make.

Turning to the formation of a joint committee between foreign, interior and energy ministries of Iran and Afghanistan to follow up on the issues related to border rivers and dam construction in some neighboring countries, Amir-Abdollahian emphasized that bilateral talks were made with Turkey, Iraq and Afghanistan in the course of activity of 13th government in line with following up the issue of water rights at border areas.
In addition, bilateral talks were held with the Turkish Foreign Minister about the dams that have been built on the Aras River that could have an effective role in this regard, he said, adding that “We also have held expert-level talks with the Iraqi side in this field.”
“We have held talks with the current interim governing body of Afghanistan. A delegation from Turkey also came to Iran at the end of last year (ended March 20, 2022) and we set up a joint committee to follow up on the relevant issues,” Iran's foreign minister added.
Last week, the Taliban energy minister in a meeting with the deputy Iranian ambassador to Kabul said that the ruling body in Afghanistan will remain committed to Iran's share of water in the shared Hirmand river with Afghanistan.
The Taliban's Minister of Water and Energy Mulla Abdul Latif Mansur said that climate change has affected Helmand (Hirmand)'s water levels, but that the Taliban remained committed to Iran's share of water from the river in accordance with the law.

Creditsafe, a multinational provider of online company credit scores and company credit reports, has joined resources with upSWOT, the leader in alternative business data analysis. This partnership will focus on building new credit scoring and propensity models, as well as extending existing models, informed by the business's proprietary data.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --Creditsafe, a multinational provider of online company credit scores and company credit reports, has joined resources with upSWOT, the leader in alternative business data analysis. This partnership will focus on building new credit scoring and propensity models, as well as extending existing models, informed by the business's proprietary data.
Once these models have been created through this partnership, businesses working with Creditsafe will have the opportunity to improve their business credit scores and business credit reports by providing their own proprietary data. This data enhancement process is arguably the biggest innovation in business credit reports and business credit scores in the last several decades.
The Creditsafe - upSWOT partnership will create innovative credit scoring and propensity models with many benefits to other stakeholders. The partnership benefits creditors as they gain a sharper view of the business's credit risk profile, and as such more easily make profitable underwriting decisions, and protect themselves from bad debt. The partnership benefits businesses by allowing them to provide additional data that provides advanced proof of their financial stability and creditworthiness. This results in easier access to funds and other key partnerships, and faster business growth.
upSWOT brings to the partnership all of its resources and technology as the global leader in analyzing, cleaning, and structuring data from a huge number of data sources - upSWOT is able to integrate 167 business apps plus banking transactions. These business apps include popular accounting, ERP, payroll, e-commerce, CRM, marketing and POS business applications. Examples include QuickBooks, Shopify, Salesforce, Square, Instagram, etc.
Creditsafe will provide upSWOT with the ability to send business data that upSWOT has collected, with businesses' permission. By supplying this additional business data, Creditsafe will (where appropriate) be able to improve a business's credit score. The credit information, collection, and distribution networks that Creditsafe represents form a truly global distribution system, so providing information to this network will give upSWOT clients considerable opportunity to improve their financial opportunities.
Together, upSWOT and Creditsafe will be able to bring these new credit models to the global credit marketplace. Ultimately, this means that small businesses can get greater access to loans and growth capital. Small businesses can also access better terms - like lower interest rates - saving them thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also importantly, the creditors that serve them can achieve higher standards of credit risk management.
Dmitry Norenko, CEO of upSWOT comments, "Imagine - there is a world of small businesses that have limited credit profiles due to limited interaction with creditors. However, their data provides ample evidence of the strength of their credit profiles - with revenues that consistently exceed expenses, as just one example.

When you grab fast food, the last thing you're thinking about is the paper wrapper.
"I've always been told that styrofoam is worse than paper. But I really don't know," lunchtime customer Ryan Harper told us outside a fast-food restaurant.
But it was surprising to learn that Consumer Reports has just sounded the alarm about some fast-food packaging.
In a report called Dangerous PFAS Chemicals Are in Your Food Packaging, the non-profit advocacy group says PFAS, sometimes known as "forever chemicals," are in some of the grease and water-resistant wrappers and fiber bowls used by many fast-food restaurants.
Consumer Reports says the chemicals have been linked to immune system suppression and even cancer.
Brian Ronholm of Consumer Reports said "of the products we tested, of the 118 products, 37 of them had levels above 25 parts per million. Those are pretty troubling readings if you take a step back. When you get above 20 parts per million, that's when you start worrying about the levels."
You can read their full investigation here.
How to protect yourself
So what can you do to protect your family when you get takeout burgers, fries, chicken, maybe cookies, and you are not sure exactly what's in that packaging? Ronholm says your best bet is to "take them out of the wrapper as quickly as possible and put them on a plate at home."
And the most important thing, he says, is to never microwave fast food in its wrapper.
Companies promise changes
Following Consumer Reports' investigation, McDonald's, Burger King, and Chick-fil-A all went to social media, promising to phase out PFAS in the next few years. Arby's, in the meantime, sent us a statement saying they will phase them out by the end of 2022.
Ronholm says that is good news, as "they don't break down in the environment, and they stay in our bodies for a really long time."
So don't assume that wrapper is just paper, so you stay safe and don't waste your money.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, his 100th day in office, according to a spokesperson.
The first-term Democrat woke up with a raspy voice Sunday and took a PCR test that came back positive, spokesperson Fabien Levy said in a statement. Earlier Sunday, Levy had tweeted that Adams had taken a rapid test that came back negative but took the additional test out of an abundance of caution.
Adams has no other symptoms but has canceled all public events for the week and will be taking antiviral medications and working remotely, Levy said.
New York City has been experiencing a steady resurgence in virus cases over the past month. It’s now averaging around 1,800 new cases per day — not counting the many home tests that go unreported to health officials. That’s triple the number in early March, when the city began relaxing masking and vaccination rules.
Adams’ past week was busy: The mayor attended the annual Gridiron Club dinner in Washington last Saturday, after which dozens of attendees tested positive. He also delivered remarks at the National Action Network convention on Wednesday and attended that night’s gala, appeared in-studio on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday before joining Robert De Niro at the ReelAbilities Film Festival, went to the New York Yankees’ opening day Friday and was in Albany on Saturday.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 11 – Kenya will host the FIFA World Cup trophy on May 26 and 27 as it makes a tour of several African countries ahead of the quadrennial extravaganza scheduled for November in Doha, Qatar.
FIFA partners Coca-Cola make arrangements for the trophy tour every World Cup year to popularize the mega football tournament.
In the recent past, Kenya hosted the trophy in 2010 before the South Africa World Cup and in 2018 before Russia hosted 32 of the world’s best footballing nations.
Debra Mallowah, Vice President, Coca-Cola, East and Central Africa Franchise made the announcement on Monday afternoon, also revealing that the soft drinks giant will be sending five lucky winners to Doha to witness the World Cup.
“We are excited to bring the FIFA World Cup trophy to Kenya to give millions of Kenyans an opportunity to experience the magic of the event even if the country did not qualify for the tournament,” Mallowah said.
She added; “We are thrilled to share this iconic moment with our consumers, stakeholders, and football fans in Kenya. Football is a sport that unites us all in a unique way, and this will be a moment for all of us to enjoy and be part of this global, iconic experience.”
It is expected that the Trophy will be received by President Uhuru Kenyatta, just as he did the last time it made a tour of Nairobi in 2018.
For those wishing to try their luck and land a ticket to Doha to watch the World Cup, they will be required to buy 1L, 1.5L or 2L of soda with a green top and then send the code under the bottle top to 40111.
They will then enter a raffle and five lucky winners will be selected.
The draw of the FIFA World Cup was already conducted last week, paving way for the excitement ahead of the tournament which will be held in the months of November-December for the first time ever.

With Russian hopes for storming Kyiv and other major cities in northern Ukraine dashed by stiff resistance, Moscow has refocused its efforts on the country’s east, seeking to make gains there and use them to dictate its terms in talks on ending the conflict. The Russian troops are preparing for a massive offensive in Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland known as the Donbas, and the coming weeks could determine the outcome of the war. A look at the shift in the Russian strategy and its possible consequences.
A STALLED BLITZ
When Russian forces invaded Ukraine from the north, east and south on February 24. President Vladimir Putin counted on a quick victory, similar to its 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. The Russian troops that pushed into Ukraine from Moscow’s ally Belarus quickly reached the outskirts of Kyiv, only 75 kilometers (47 miles) south of the border, but they got bogged down facing Ukrainian defenses.
After the failed attempts to storm the capital and other big cities in the north, Russian forces tried to encircle and pummel them with artillery and airstrikes. The relentless barrages led to massive civilian casualties and damaged infrastructure, but didn’t weaken Ukraine’s resolve. Ukrainian forces, meanwhile, successfully used artillery and drones against Russian convoys that stretched for dozens of kilometers (miles) along highways outside Kyiv. That created massive logistical problems for the Russians.
A SHIFT IN STRATEGY
On March 29, Russia announced a drastic change in strategy, saying it would scale down military activities around Kyiv and Chernihiv, focusing instead on the “liberation" of Donbas. A quick withdrawal from areas in the north and northeast followed, with forces pulling back to Belarus and Russia for rest and resupply.
Moscow sought to put a positive spin on what Ukrainian and Western officials described as the failure of the offensive. Russia said the action in the north was intended to tie down and weaken Ukrainian forces there and prevent them from joining troops engaged in the fighting in the east.
REDEPLOYMENT AND REGROUPING
Observers said it could take Russian troops several weeks for the troops to rest, resupply and regroup before they could launch a new attack in the east. “Many Russian units withdrawing from northern Ukraine are likely to require significant re-equipping and refurbishment before being available to redeploy for operations in eastern Ukraine," a tweet from the British Ministry of Defence said.
Some Western estimates said nearly a quarter of Russian units involved in the fighting had been rendered unfit for further action and would need long reequipment and resupply before being sent back into combat.
“They will be remanned because they have lost a lot of troops in the different units," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said. “They will be rearmed because they have used a lot of ammunition and they will be resupplied … to launch a new big offensive."
FORTRESS EAST
The separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine, home to a mostly Russian-speaking population, began in 2014 shortly after the annexation of Crimea and has killed over 14,000 people. The fighting has tempered Ukrainian forces, which have gained ample combat experience and built multilayered defenses along the line of contact.
Those efforts paid off at the start of the Russian invasion, preventing the separatist forces and Russian troops from making any significant gains there despite far superior firepower.
From the start of the invasion, Moscow’s key goal was to capture the Sea of Azov port of Mariupol to secure a coastal corridor to Crimea. Russian troops have besieged Mariupol for a month, reducing much of the city to rubble with artillery and air raids that killed thousands. So far, however, they have failed to win full control.
RUSSIAN PINCER MOVEMENT
Ukrainian and Western officials say the Russian plan is to encircle tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops in Donbas by moving from Izyum, near Kharkiv in the north, and from Mariupol in the south.
The timing for the offensive depends on how quickly the Russians wrap up the battle for Mariupol and free those forces for the offensive. It also will depend on how much time is needed to resupply and regroup the troops that were pulled back from Kyiv and other areas in the north.
The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said in an analysis that the Russian troops will likely try to advance from Izyum to capture the strategic city of Slovyansk and link up with other Russian forces in Donbas in what it said “will likely prove to be the next pivotal battle of the war in Ukraine."
Stoltenberg warned that such an eastward shift by Russia marks a “crucial phase of the war," saying a further push in eastern and southern Ukraine is expected “to try to take the entire Donbas and to create a land bridge to occupied Crimea."
MOSCOW’S VULNERABILITIES
During an eastern offensive, Russian forces will face the same problems that hampered their attack in the north. Maintaining supply lines over long distances under constant Ukrainian attacks was a key challenge that eventually doomed the blitz on Kyiv and forced Moscow’s retreat. Such an operation in the east could prove just as hard.
The lack of proper cohesion among different forces, the failure to fully suppress Ukrainian air defenses, and the growing popular resistance to the invasion would likely make it difficult for quick Russian gains in the east. As they seek to encircle Ukrainian troops in Donbas, Russian forces could also face attacks on their flanks.
CONDITIONS FOR PEACE
A military success in the east could offer Putin a face-saving exit from the conflict, allowing him to claim that Moscow’s main goals were fulfilled. He could argue that Russia has destroyed the bulk of the Ukrainian military, liquidated the “neo-Nazi nationalist" forces and “liberated" Donbas.
Putin’s conditions for peace, however, include a demand for Ukraine to acknowledge Russia’s sovereignty over Crimea and to recognize the independence of the eastern separatists regions, something that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected. Zelenskyy said the issues of Crimea and Donbas could be put on hold, but Moscow wants to make them part of a deal now.
TIME AS A FACTOR
Putin badly needs a quick success in the east to find a way out of the conflict that increasingly looks like a quagmire for Moscow. Time is working against Russia, with each day of war worsening the massive economic damage from Western sanctions and draining its limited resources.
A protracted conflict could force the Kremlin to broadly engage the use of poorly trained conscripts, something it has tried to avoid, claiming that it relies squarely on volunteer soldiers. Sending fresh draftees into battle would be highly unpopular and likely fuel public discontent.
Putin’s goal of freeing Ukraine from purported “neo-Nazis" has led some observers to predict that he hopes for quick gains in the east so he can announce a successful end to the campaign by May 9. That’s when Russia celebrates its victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, its most important public holiday.

Nigeria’s Osimhen ‘wasn’t in best shape’ despite goal in Napoli defeat – Spalletti
Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti has stated striker Victor Osimhen was not in great shape despite finding the back of the net in the 3-2 Serie A defeat against Fiorentina on Sunday.
The Partenopei were dealt a major blow in their quest to win Scudetto as the visiting side scored through Nicolas Gonzalez, Jonathan Ikone, and Arthur Cabral to win the battle at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Editors' Picks

- Is Tuchel right to rule out a Chelsea comeback against Real Madrid?
- ‘We are Ukrainians, we are ready for everything!’ - Shakhtar Donetsk make historic return to action in Athens
- Advantage Man City, but could Guardiola rue missed chances in Liverpool thriller?
Despite a late rally that saw Napoli score through Dries Mertens and Nigeria’s Osimhen, Fiorentina stayed tight at the back to inflict on Napoli their sixth defeat of the season.
“Fiorentina play man against man, Milenkovic pushes far up to chase his man and leaves these spaces we could’ve made more of. If you don’t have the quality to dribble your way out of trouble, then you end up with long balls,” Spalletti told DAZN as quoted by Football Italia.
“Osimhen wasn’t in the best shape today, as he skipped a couple of training sessions. He did well, but could’ve done better in these physical duels with Igor.”
The 63-year-old Italian manager has further described Napoli’s result as a “costly defeat”.
“This is a very costly defeat and in certain ways was undeserved. Fiorentina played their game and earned the win, but we started strong, then tried to play too long and allowed them to take control of midfield.
“When we conceded the second goal, it all became far more difficult. We have to take some of the blame for what happened, but it’s so disappointing because the fans, the attitude of the whole team throughout the week was the right one.”
On losing five league matches at home, Spalletti said: “They are all to be taken individually, I don’t see any recurring problem we can work on or blame.
“Of course, things change, because clearly now it’s all more difficult. We have no choice other than to be professional, try to win the next game, and see what happens. It is no longer in our hands.”
Osimhen’s goal was his 12th of the top-flight campaign from 21 appearances.

Once a retail giant, Kmart will be down to 3 stores after NJ closing
AVENEL, N.J. (AP) — The familiar sights and sounds are still there: the scuffed and faded floor tiles, the relentless beige-on-beige color scheme, the toddlers’ clothes and refrigerators and pretty much everything in between.
There’s even a canned recording that begins, “Attention, Kmart shoppers” — except it’s to remind folks about COVID-19 precautions, not to alert them to a flash sale over in ladies’ lingerie like days of old.
Many of the shelves are bare, though, at the Kmart in Avenel, New Jersey, picked over by bargain hunters as the store prepares to close its doors for good April 16.
Once it shutters, the number of Kmarts in the U.S. – once well over 2,000 – will be down to three last holdouts, according to multiple reports, in a retail world now dominated by Walmart, Target and Amazon.
The demise of the the store in the middle-class suburb, 15 miles south of New York City, is the tale of the death of the discount department store writ small.
“You’re always thinking about it because stores are closing all over, but it’s still sad,” said cashier Michelle Yavorsky, who said she has worked at the Avenel store for 2 ½ years. “I’ll miss the place. A lot of people shopped here.”
In its heyday, Kmart sold product lines endorsed by celebrities Martha Stewart and Jaclyn Smith, sponsored NASCAR auto races and was mentioned in movies including “Rain Man” and “Beetlejuice.” It was name-dropped in songs by artists from Eminem to the Beastie Boys to Hall and Oates; in 2003, Eminem bought a 29-room, suburban Detroit mansion once owned by former Kmart chairman Chuck Conaway.
The chain cemented a place in American culture with its Blue Light Specials, a flashing blue orb affixed to a pole that would beckon shoppers to a flash sale in progress. Part of its success was due to its early adoption of layaway programs, which allowed customers who lacked credit to reserve items and pay for them in installments.
For a time, Kmart had a little bit of everything: You could shop for your kids’ back-to-school supplies, get your car tuned up and grab a meal without leaving the premises.
“Kmart was part of America,” said Michael Lisicky, a Baltimore-based author who has written several books on U.S. retail history. “Everybody went to Kmart, whether you liked it or not. They had everything. You had toys. You had sporting goods. You had candy. You had stationery. It was something for everybody. This was almost as much of a social visit as it was a shopping visit. You could spend hours here. And these just dotted the American landscape over the years.”
Kmart’s decline has been slow but steady, brought about by years of falling sales, changes in shopping habits and the looming shadow of Walmart, which coincidentally began its life within months of Kmart’s founding in 1962.
Struggling to compete with Walmart’s low prices and Target’s trendier offerings, Kmart filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early 2002 — becoming the largest U.S. retailer to take that step — and announced it would close more than 250 stores.
A few years later, hedge fund executive Edward Lampert combined Sears and Kmart and pledged to return them to their former greatness, but the recession and the rising dominance of Amazon contributed in derailing those goals. Sears filed for Chapter 11 in 2018 and currently has a handful of stores left in the U.S. where it once had thousands.
Kmarts continue to operate in Westwood, New Jersey; Bridgehampton, on New York’s Long Island, and Miami.
It didn’t have to end this way, according to Mark Cohen, director of retail studies at Columbia University in New York and former CEO of Sears Canada. Trying to compete with Walmart on price was a foolish strategy, he said, and Lampert was criticized for not having a retail background and appearing more interested in stripping off the assets of the two chains for their cash value.
“It’s a study in greed, avarice and incompetence,” Cohen said. “Sears should have never gone away; Kmart was in worse shape, but not fatally so. And now they’re both gone.
“Retailers fall by the wayside sometimes because they’re selling things people don’t want to buy,” he continued. “In the case of Kmart, everything they used to sell, people are buying but they’re buying it from Walmart and Target.”
Transformco, which owns Kmart and Sears, did not respond to an email seeking comment and a phone number listed for the company was not taking messages.
Nationwide, some former Kmarts remain vacant while others have been replaced by other big-box stores, fitness centers, self-storage facilities, even churches. One former site in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is now a popular dine-in movie theater.
Employees at the Kmart in Avenel found out last month that the store would close.
Unlike 20 years ago, when news of impending Kmart closures around the country prompted an outpouring of support from loyal shoppers and a Detroit radio station even mounted a campaign to try and save a local store, the closing of the Avenel location was met mostly with an air of resignation.
“It’s maybe a little nostalgic because I’ve lived my whole life in this area, but it’s just another retail store closing,” said Jim Schaber, a resident of nearby Iselin who said his brother worked in the shoe department at Kmart for years. “It’s just another sign of people doing online shopping and not going out to the retail stores.”
The closing packed a little more of an emotional punch for Mike Jerdonek, a truck driver who recalled shopping at Kmart in Brooklyn and Queens in his younger days.
“It’s like history passing right in front of our eyes,” he said as he sat in his car outside the Avenel store. “When I was younger I didn’t have any money, so it was a good place to shop because the prices were cheap. And to see it gone right now, it’s kind of sad.”

The order consists of 10 A321XLR aircraft, 50 A321neo aircraft and 20 A320neo aircraft, and the delivery of the jets is scheduled between 2027 and 2029.
"This is the largest single order that we have ever placed and it will bring our total Airbus aircraft purchased since inception to 546," said Robert Martin, the chief executive of BOC Aviation.
The Singapore-based aircraft lessor had entered a deal in March to purchase 11 Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft, which are scheduled to be delivered in 2023 and 2024.
(The story corrects headline to say BOC Aviation to buy 80 Airbus aircraft, not seeks.)
