Chennai-based Software Company Gives Employees BMW Cars Worth Rs 1 Cr As Reward For Their 'Loyalty'
In a world full of people who leave companies for better opportunities, loyalty is rare and it should very much be rewarded.
A CEO of a Chennai-based software-as-a-service company Kissflow Inc thinks so as well as he gifted five of his employees BMW cars worth over Rs 1 crore each for their loyalty to the company.
The handing over ceremony was kept a secret as some of the five recipients of the cars were informed just hours before the event that they are going to be proud owners of an expensive luxury brand.
CEO Suresh Sambandam told PTI that the five employees have been with the company right from its beginning and helped the company ‘dig gold’ during the pandemic. He further said some of the employees came from humble backgrounds and had faced significant challenges prior to joining the company.
The company faced many roadblocks as it tried to navigate the tough business environment. Some investors even raised doubts about the smooth functioning of the company at the time of the pandemic.
"There were difficult times. Even during the pandemic, the investors were not sure whether this company will sustain and build a future. Today we are very happy that we have paid back the investors and now it has become a fully owned privately held company," he said.
The car giving ceremony was held on Friday and many were puzzled as to what is it about. With much fanfare, the five BMW 530d cars rolled in one by one and were lined up parallelly along with the respective families of the five members.
The company CEO mentioned that this should be an inspiration for all the other employees to work harder.

What are you to do if you’ve got a hot stock tip—literally, in this case, as it’s a bit of material non-public information—but not the patience to actually wait for the company whose shares you bought announce the takeover approach you’re counting on to make you rich? Well, you call the Bloomberg switchboard and ask to speak to an M&A reporter—a trick that, if no one bothers to put the pieces together like those meddlesome federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, also has the benefit of making that material information no longer non-public.
Jason Peltz, 39, entered the plea in Brooklyn federal court to two counts of insider trading and tax evasion a year after initially pleading not guilty…. Peltz also provided a tip about the takeover bid to a reporter, who wrote an article about the offer that resulted in an increase in Ferro's stock price, [U.S. Attorney Breon] Peace's office said on Tuesday.
Prosecutors did not name the journalist or the media outlet, but Reuters and other media have identified him as Ed Hammond, a deals reporter with Bloomberg in New York, based on a review of articles mentioned in Peltz's 2021 indictment. Hammond is not accused of any wrongdoing.
Totally unrelated to the above, if you’ve got some advance news of something big, tips at dealbreaker dot com. Just sayin’.

Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - The UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, and Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)’s poverty alleviation arm, the Islamic Solidarity Fund for Development (ISFD), have signed an agreement to launch the Global Islamic Fund for Refugees (GIFR), an innovative sustainable and Sharia-compliant resource mobilization instrument that will open new Islamic philanthropy funding streams in support of millions of forcibly displaced people.
The agreement comes at a time when forced displacement has reached unprecedented levels and has become a critical global humanitarian and development crisis, requiring intensive, comprehensive, and collaborative international action.
On the occasion, IsDB Group President, H.E. Dr. Muhammad Al Jasser said: “Forced displacement needs are at a record high and continue to rise. No institution alone could carry the burden. We need to strengthen existing partnerships and explore innovative solutions for the plight of the forcibly displaced.” He added: “We are proud of our partnership with UNHCR and are confident that our joint efforts will provide the necessary mechanisms to assist those in need.”
The initiative stems from both ISFD and UNHCR’s respective mandates. It aims to provide effective, efficient, and predictable support to programs and projects for refugees, IDPs and host communities in the OIC member states, a region that produces and hosts the highest number of global refugees.
“Millions of people continue to be forced from their homes due to war, violence, persecution and discrimination and they need and deserve our support. Innovative sources of Islamic social financing, such as this groundbreaking agreement with the Islamic Development Bank, will enable UNHCR to help refugees and other forcibly displaced people with the protection and assistance needed to live in better, more dignified conditions,” said UNHCR’s High Commissioner Filippo Grandi. “We are grateful to ISFD for its steadfast support and ongoing partnership. This groundbreaking initiative will unlock much-needed financial support to address the dire needs of those forcibly displaced”, he added.
The agreement to launch the Global Islamic Fund for Refugees is an important step towards diversifying humanitarian funding sources and bolstering humanitarian relief efforts. The GIFR will endeavor to mobilize additional funding in support of humanitarian programs and operations, in situations of forced displacement across sectors.

- Data further expand Actinium's leadership in combining targeted radiotherapy with CD47 immunotherapy in solid tumors and blood cancers
- Significant increase in tumor control with the HER3 ARC magrolimab combination compared to magrolimab alone in HER3-expressing NSCLC in vivo model supports further development
NEW YORK, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ATNM) ("Actinium" or the "Company"), a leader in the development of targeted radiotherapies for patients with unmet needs, today announced that preclinical data highlighting the efficacy of the combination of an anti-HER3 antibody radiation conjugate (ARC) and a CD47 blocking antibody immunotherapy was presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR 2021) annual meeting, which is being held April 8th – 13th at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Actinium assessed an Actinium-225 (Ac-225)-conjugated anti-HER3 antibody with magrolimab, an anti-CD47 antibody being developed by Gilead Sciences, in HER3-positive preclinical models.
AACR Poster Highlights:
- Dramatic improvement in tumor growth inhibition is observed in vivo with the Ac-225-HER3-ARC and magrolimab combination therapy compared to magrolimab alone
- The combination of Ac-225-HER3-ARC and magrolimab significantly enhanced phagocytosis in HER3-positive cells compared to either single agent in vitro
- Upregulation of cell surface calreticulin is observed following treatment with 225Ac-HER3-ARC in HER3-positive cell lines
Dr. Helen Kotanides, Vice President, Translational Research and Preclinical Development, said, "We hypothesize that the upregulation of the 'eat me' signal, calreticulin, induced by targeted radiotherapy could enhance the immunomodulatory effects of an anti-CD47 antibody, resulting in increased anti-tumor efficacy. These data presented at AACR corroborate our previous work presented at SITC and support our rationale in targeting both blood cancer and solid tumors with a CD47 targeted radiotherapy combination. We are highly encouraged by the remarkable improvement in anti-tumor efficacy observed with the combination of an Ac-225-HER3-ARC with magrolimab. Collectively, the in vitro and in vivo data support further investigation of this novel combination and we look forward to continuing to advance the first ever targeted radiotherapy CD47 combinations."
Sandesh Seth, Chairman and CEO of Actinium, said, "We continue to demonstrate the potential of combining targeted radiotherapy with a CD47 blocking antibody immunotherapy such as magrolimab. These results support our vision to develop more effective treatments for cancer patients through the expansion of our pipeline into solid tumors and to develop innovative targeted radiotherapy combinations with immunotherapy leveraging our strong technology platform, IP and clinical experience. We are excited to highlight these results showing the potential for adding Ac-225-HER3 ARC to CD47 antibodies to enhance the latter's immunotherapeutic efficacy at AACR. These data along with our recent collaborations with EpicentRx and AVEO Oncology give us strong momentum towards the clinic with highly novel CD47-SIRPα combinations and HER3 targeted radiotherapies."
The full poster is available as an e-poster on the AACR 2022 platform with details below:

About Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted radiotherapies to deliver cancer-killing radiation with cellular level precision to treat patients with high unmet needs not addressed by traditional cancer therapies. Actinium's current clinical pipeline is led by ARCs or Antibody Radiation-Conjugates that are being applied to targeted conditioning, which is intended to selectively deplete a patient's disease or cancer cells and certain immune cells prior to a BMT or Bone Marrow Transplant, Gene Therapy or Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT) such as CAR-T to enable engraftment of these transplanted cells with minimal toxicities. Actinium's targeted conditioning ARCs seek to improve patient outcomes and access to these potentially curative treatments by eliminating or reducing the non-targeted chemotherapy that is used for conditioning in standard practice currently. Our lead product candidate, Iomab-B (I-131 apamistamab) has been studied in several hundred patients including in the 150-patient, pivotal Phase 3 Study of Iomab-B in Elderly Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (SIERRA) trial for BMT conditioning, which completed patient enrollment in the third quarter of 2021. Iomab-ACT, low dose I-131 apamistamab is being studied as a targeted conditioning agent in a Phase 1 study with a CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In addition, we are leaders in the field of Actinium-225 alpha therapies. Actimab-A, our clinical stage CD33 targeting ARC alpha therapy has been studied in nearly 150 patients including our ongoing combination trials with the salvage chemotherapy CLAG-M and the Bcl-2 targeted therapy venetoclax. Underpinning our clinical programs is our proprietary AWE (Antibody Warhead Enabling) technology platform. This is where our intellectual property portfolio of over 170 patents, know-how, collective research and expertise in the field are being leveraged to construct and study novel ARCs and ARC combinations such as with CD47 immunotherapies to bolster our pipeline for strategic purposes. Our AWE technology platform is currently being utilized in a collaborative research partnership with Astellas Pharma, Inc., AVEO Oncology and EpicentRx. Website: https://www.actiniumpharma.com/

Get the most out of your foods by choosing preparation and storage methods that preserve their vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.
Fresh is best, frozen is next
Fresh, ripe produce in season will usually be highest in nutrients—but fruits and vegetables are needed year-round, even in the middle of winter. The U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates that freezing produce immediately after harvesting retains 95% to 100% of most vitamins and minerals, with the exception of vitamin C, which decreases by up to 30 percent in frozen produce. Keep several varieties of fruits and vegetables in your freezer so they’re always available.
Cut cooking times for vegetables
The longer foods are exposed to heat, the more nutrients are lost. To reduce cooking times, cover the pot to retain heat and avoid evaporation, place vegetables in already boiling water, and enjoy vegetables with a crunchier texture.
Keep canned on hand
Canned fruits and vegetables that contain little or no sodium or added sugar are easy and convenient; keeping a variety on hand guarantees you immediate access to important nutrients.
Be water-wise
USDA data show that up to 50% of the vitamin C, thiamin, vitamin B6, and folate content in food can be lost to the water it’s cooked in. To retain water-soluble nutrients, use cooking methods like steaming or stir-frying that use little or no water, reduce the amount of water used in steaming and boiling, and reuse cooking water in soups or sauces to capture escaped nutrients.
Don’t ditch the peel
Keeping peels on foods such as potatoes, carrots, apples and pears preserves more nutrients, which tend to concentrate near the surface. In place of peeling, opt for using a good vegetable scrubber.
Chop less
Chopping foods into smaller pieces increases the surface area exposed to light, heat and water— hree factors that degrade nutrients. One exception is garlic and others in the allium family; chopping these foods and allowing them to sit for 10 minutes before cooking increases the availability of their active components.
Make the most of your microwave
Since it cuts cooking time and water use, the microwave is a nutrient-friendly appliance. Microwaving preserves higher antioxidant activity in a majority of vegetables versus other cooking methods. Choose glass or ceramic dishes for microwave use; harmful chemicals can leach out of plastic into your food, and some plastics actually begin to break down during microwaving.
Keep it cool
The nutrient content in many fruits and vegetables can be maintained with cooler temperatures, high humidity, and less air contact. Store produce in airtight containers in the fridge.
Use it all
Many vegetables are entirely edible and rich in nutrients, so using the entire plant, from root to stem, is a sure way to add nutrients to your day. Or, toss vegetable scraps into a pot of water and make your own flavorful stock, which can be stored in the freezer and used as a base for soups, stews and sauces.

Turning mortgage tide? Fixing for five or 10 years is now CHEAPER than two at one bank as homeowners and lenders seek security in tough times
- Halifax launches five and 10-year mortgages up to 12 bps cheaper than two-year
- Five-year deals flying off the shelves as customers seek to lock in bills for longer
- This is in response to the cost-of-living crisis which is hammering households
- Rate gap between two and five-year fix narrowing across board, data shows
Five and 10-year fixed mortgages are being offered at cheaper rates than two-year fixes at one major lender, as people seek to lock in monthly payments for as long as possible due to the cost of living crisis.
Halifax has today launched a two-year fixed rate of 2.54 per cent with a £995 fee, for those with deposits of 40 per cent or more.
But the comparable five and ten-year fixed rates are cheaper at 2.48 per cent – marking a potential turning point in the mortgage market.
Reversal: Halifax customers can get a five or even 10-year fixed-term mortgage with cheaper monthly repayments than a two-year one - something that has rarely, if ever, been the case
The fee-free options have an even wider rate gap, priced at 2.94 per cent for a two-year fix and 2.82 per cent for a five-year.
In terms of monthly payments, a customer purchasing a £300,000 home with a £120,000 deposit - or 40 per cent - would pay £848 per month on a two-year fix and £806 on the five-year.
For those with lower deposits, the rates on two-year fixes are also more expensive – but only just.
Someone buying the same £300,000 home with a lower deposit of £75,000 could get a 2.59 per cent rate on a two-year fix with a £995 fee, paying £1,020 per month, as opposed to a 2.58 per cent rate on a five-year paying £1,018.
Customers traditionally pay a premium for longer terms, as they get the benefit of securing their rate at the same level for longer.
And until recently two-year fixes were much more popular, meaning that banks could charge cheaper rates on them to attract customers.
THIS IS MONEY PODCAST
But the rising cost of living crisis has seen borrowers flock to five-year fixes as they seek the certainty of locking in their monthly payments for five years - meaning banks can potentially attract lots of customers by pricing these competitively.
Experts say lenders are also worried about the impact of the cost of living crisis on their customers' ability to pay their mortgages - meaning that they are keen on fixing rates for longer, too.
Nicholas Mendes, mortgage technical manager at broker John Charcol, said: 'In times of uncertainty, having the ability to fix is key for homeowners.
'Historically we have seen this favour the lender, with lenders often quoting a higher rate for a 5 year fixed rate to play on the emotions of a homeowner worried about how impending rate rises will affect their ability to pay the mortgage.
'But over the last few years, Brexit, the pandemic and growing pressure on households has changed the outlook.
'Knowing how much you will pay over a period of time removes any uncertainty - and lenders, as well as borrowers, now like this stability.'
Trailblazer? Halifax is the first lender to go against the status quo by offering cheaper rates on longer-term fixes, but some experts believe that it will not be the last
This means competition in the five-year fix space is hotting up, and experts believe they could become even cheaper.
According to Moneyfacts, the average two-year fixed rate – covering all deposit sizes – is currently 2.86 per cent, up from 2.65 per cent in March. And the typical five-year fix is 3.01 per cent, up from 2.88 per cent a month ago.
This shows that the rate gap between two and five year fixes is narrowing, sitting at 0.23 per cent in March and 0.15 per cent today.
This is Money looked at typical two, five and ten-year fixed rates at the major lenders to assess the state of play.
These are based on the same £300,000 home purchase as in the above example.
While there are some lenders that price two and five-year fixes exactly the same, experts predict that more could go the same way as Halifax and tip the balance in favour of cheaper rates on five-year fixes.
Ashley Thomas, director at broker Magni Finance, said: 'I wouldn't be surprised to see more follow Halifax and price lower than a two year.
'We have seen a large increase in people enquiring for seven or ten year fixed rates as the price difference can be as low as 0.05 per cent.
'This is worth considering if you are living in your dream home and have no plans to move for a long time.'
According to experts, five-year fixes can be a good option as the borrower doesn't have to pay the fees associated with remortgaging again after two years.
Samantha Bickford, mortgage specialist at Clarity Wealth Management, said: 'If the circumstances are suitable for a client's short to medium-term plans, I am a big fan of a five year fixed rate deal.
'It is frustrating when a client wants the lowest rate possible and that is always a two year deal.
'Once I explain to them that we will be reviewing this again in 18 months time, which could be at a potentially higher interest rate, usually a five year fixed-rate deal is the better option.'
Money saver: Even though rates on five-year fixes are usually higher than two-year, homeowners can save money on remortgaging fees if they don't do it as often
Being fixed in to a longer deal can also be helpful for those expecting a change in circumstances, for example becoming self-employed.
Not remortgaging as often means fewer affordability checks, which could give them the time to sort out their finances before they need to apply for another mortgage - providing they are still able to meet their repayments.
However, the key thing anyone considering a five-year fix or above must consider is how long they are likely to stay in their home.
If a borrower needs to leave a fixed mortgage before the end of the term there will usually be punitive early repayment charges, sometimes up to 5 per cent of the value of the loan.
While some mortgages can be 'ported' to another property, this is not always the case. There may be fees involved, and doing so can lead to complications.
Borrowers who port their mortgage to a home that is worth more than their current one will often end up with two mortgages at different rates and with different end dates, for example.
Simon Gammon, managing partner at Knight Frank Finance, said: 'The repricing presents borrowers with some tricky questions.
'We would advise most to avoid variable rates at the moment unless they may be required to repay the loan quickly.
'The question then is how long do you want to fix for? Are you likely to occupy the property for a short period, or might you be there long term? In the latter scenario, a five year fixed loan looks attractive.
'Ten year fixed rates are another option, but a decade is a long time to commit and ten year products often have quite onerous charges should you want to change plans, so that's something borrowers should look at closely.'
Mortgage rates have been rising since the end of 2021, as the Bank of England has increased its base rate three times taking it from 0.1 per cent to 0.75 per cent.
This followed record lows of as little as 0.83 per cent in the summer of 2021.
At 2.86 per cent, the average two-year fixed rate for all deposit sizes is the highest on Moneyfacts records in over six years, while the five-year equivalent has breached 3 per cent for the first time since October 2016.

NEW DELHI (AP) — An unusually early heat wave brought more extreme temperatures Monday to a large swath of India’s northwest, raising concerns that such weather conditions could become typical.
The India Meteorological Department forecast that the temperature in New Delhi would reach 41.8 degrees Celsius (107.2 degrees Fahrenheit) on Monday, nearly eight degrees above normal.
The weather agency declares a heat wave when the temperature is at least 4.5 C (8 F) above average.
The main summer months — April, May and June — are always excruciatingly hot in most parts of India before monsoon rains bring cooler temperatures. But the heat wave has arrived early and grown particularly intense in the past decade, killing hundreds every year.
During heat waves, the country usually also suffers severe water shortages with tens of millions of its 1.4 billion people lacking running water.
Extreme temperatures have struck large parts of northern and western India in the last week, with Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and New Delhi among the worst hit. Higher temperatures also were felt in relatively cooler Indian-controlled Kashmir in the Himalayas, where many Indians go to escape the summer heat.
Already this year, India has recorded its warmest March since 1901.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that heat waves and humidity-related heat stress will intensify in South Asia, and scientists who study climate change say Indians can expect more of the same hot temperatures in the coming years.
Vimal Mishra, an expert at the Indian Institute of Technology’s Water and Climate Lab, said the number of Indian states hit by heat waves has grown in recent years, as extreme temperatures become more frequent and intense.
“If you are looking for the clearest signal of climate change in India, then heat waves are a classic example. They are unavoidable and will occur more frequently,” Mishra said.
Heat waves are especially dangerous for daily wage workers, rickshaw drivers, street vendors and the homeless, many of whom have to work outside in hot conditions and are at the greatest risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
India's worst heat wave since 1992 was in 2015, when at least 2,081 people died.

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen is within striking distance of the French presidency after Sunday's voting saw her past the crowded field of 12 candidates. She will now face President Emmanuel Macron in a direct contest on April 24.
National Rally party leader Le Pen, the daughter of legendary far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, has considerably improved her chances against Macron five years after she was trounced by him by a wide margin.
Though Le Pen narrowly edged far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round, opinion polls conducted immediately after the first round showed that Macron's lead against her is within the margin of error.
While Macron garnered 27.6 percent of votes in the first round, Le Pen secured 23.4 percent, narrowly ahead of Mélenchon, who ended possibly his last residential bid with 22 percent of the votes.
According to an Ifop-Fiducial poll, Macron is perilously placed with only a thin lead over Le Pen. The poll showed he would get 51 percent in the run-off compared with 49 percent for Le Pen.
Having come so close to Macron in opinion polls is a significant achievement for Le Pen and her National Rally Party. A few weeks ago, Le Pen was trailing Macron by more than 10 points.
How will Run-off Polls Play Out?
Ultra-right candidate Ãric Zemmour, who secured 7.2 percent of the votes in the first round has asked his supporters to vote for Le Pen. Another candidate, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, has also offered to support Le Pen. The Debout la France party leader has got just 2 percent vote in the first round.
However, a whole gamut of first-round contenders has called their supporters to vote against Le Pen. They include ultra-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who got 22 percent of the votes and Valérie Pécresse, the Conservative leader who secured 4.8 percent of the vote. Other parties that would support Macron are the Socialist Party, French Communist Party, Europe Ecology and New Anticapitalist Party.
All these parties are united in their support of Macron only to fend off Le Pen from taking power in Paris. President Macron acknowledged this in a speech after the first round saying that some of the votes he would get in the run-off off will be merely anti-Le Pen votes.
If Macron retains his voe share and garners all the votes that Mélenchon, Pécresse and Yannick Jadot secured, he will be the president without much of a fight. The votes from all these blocs would be much more than 50 percent, handing him a comfortable victory.
However, the Ifop-Fiducial poll on Sunday suggests that the final bout will be more complicated.
The Times of the UK has given an interesting analysis that shows the path to the second term will be tough for Macron. The president got his 27 percent vote share even as, or by virtue of, the centre-right deserting their candidate Valérie Pécresse. Similarly, Socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo also was largely dumped by the voters. A significant number of votes from both these blocs have already gone to Macron, suggesting that he is hardpressed to gain more leverage in the upcoming run-off.
Here comes 22 percent of the votes garnered by the Far-Left candidate Melanchon. After the polls, Melanchon exhorted his supporters to vote for Macron. However, despite the fact that the far-left supporters are theoretically opposed to Le Pen's politics, not all those votes would be cast for Macron. The president's policies in the last five years have caused resentment among the working-class population, who traditionally vote for the far left.
Here's how BBC puts it in an analysis: "For President Macron, that makes it all the more urgent to secure votes from the left as well as from the centre-right. But five years on from his promise to combine both the centre-left and centre right in a new kind of politics, many left-wing voters are disillusioned with a man they've nicknamed "president of the rich".
With the electoral race tightly balanced, Macron will have the fight of his life to retain office. For Le Pen 2022 appears to be the best chance to win the French presidency. She has come a long way since 2013, when she renamed the National Front Party as National Rally, after taking over from her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Sabina Nessa’s family would have been treated better in the aftermath of her murder if they were ‘British’ and ‘white’, her sister has argued.
Only days after Sabina’s killer and sexual predator Koci Selamaj was jailed for at least 36 years, her sister Jebina Islam claimed their family has not received any support from the government.
She said senior politicians were ‘useless’ and went as far as accusing Priti Patel of using the primary school teacher’s name ‘for publicity reasons’.
‘They’ve not said nothing,’ Ms Islam told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
‘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.’
Her comments come after the home secretary wrote on Twitter on Friday: ‘Sabina Nessa lost her life due to the harrowing and callous actions of a man who’s rightly now behind bars.
‘While I can’t possibly know how Sabina’s family and friends are feeling, I hope today’s sentence brings them a small comfort, knowing this evil monster has faced justice.
‘As home secretary, tackling violence against women and girls is central to my Beating Crime Plan and I am doing everything in my power to target perpetrators, protect the public and make our streets safer for everyone.’
Ms Islam also claimed newspapers treated her sister’s murder ‘differently’ from the rape, kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard by serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens.
‘My sister didn’t get as much headlines, I feel, at the start,’ she said. ‘Maybe was it down to her ethnicity?
‘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.’
Following the sentencing of garage worker Selamaj, Metro.co.uk reported on a University of Greenwich student-led group called the Sabina Project, who had gathered outside the Old Bailey with placards.
Like Ms Islam, senior law lecturer Ruth Tweedale, claimed Sabina’s case never received the public outrage and attention that Sarah’s did.
Members of Sabina’s family gathered at court on Thursday and Friday to witness the sentencing of Selamaj, who bludgeoned Sabina over the head 34 times with a 2ft-long metal traffic cone.
The court heard he then dragged her unconscious body into the undergrowth and strangled her in Kidbrooke, south-east London.
Even though he pleaded guilty to Sabina’s murder in February, the Albanian national refused to attend court on both days and face her loved ones before going to prison.
Asked about Selamaj not attending his sentencing, Ms 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.’
She insisted convicts should not have the freedom to say they do not want to attend court.
Metro.co.uk has reached out to the home secretary for comment.

Austrian chancellor says it 'will be good to tell Putin to his face he has lost this war' as he becomes first European leader to meet Vladimir since Ukraine invasion
- Chancellor Karl Nehammer meeting Putin in Moscow following visit to Bucha over the weekend, and after speaking to leaders of Turkey, Germany and EU
- The visit is not an EU-mandated trip, but chancellor has informed key EU leaders
- Foreign minister Schallenberg said 'we don't want to leave any opportunity unused and must seize every chance to end the humanitarian hell in Ukraine'
The first European leader to meet Russian President Putin since he launched the war on Ukraine has said it will be 'good to tell him' that 'he has lost this war'.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer is set to meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday following his visit to the war-torn Bucha over the weekend, as well as having spoken to the leaders of Turkey, Germany and the European Union.
He decided on the trip after meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Kyiv on Saturday to 'show solidarity within the framework of Austria's neutrality', a statement from the chancellor's office said.
The visit is not an EU-mandated trip, but the chancellor is said to have informed key EU leaders beforehand.
Austria's foreign minister Alexander Schallenberg said the meeting, which will be one-on-one without media opportunities, is meant to tell the Russian president the truth about the war in Ukraine.
He says the Chancellor is taking 'very clear messages of a humanitarian and political kind' to a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Nehammer believed it was necessary to 'leave no stone unturned' in trying to alleviate the brutal conditions faced by Ukrainians and is taking a 'very clear political message', Schallenberg added, and said that Putin is 'doing everything wrong that can be done wrong'.
'It makes a difference to be face to face and tell him what the reality is, that this president has de facto lost the war morally', Schallenberg said upon his arrival for a meeting with EU counterparts in Luxembourg.

'It should be in his own interest that someone tells him the truth. I think it is important and we owe it to ourselves if we want to save human lives.'
Schallenberg said ahead of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Luxembourg that 'we don't want to leave any opportunity unused and must seize every chance to end the humanitarian hell in Ukraine.'
He added that 'every voice that makes clear to President Putin what reality looks like outside the walls of Kremlin is not a wasted voice.'
He insisted that Austria has done everything to ensure that the visit isn't abused, 'and I think he [Putin] himself should have an interest in someone telling him the truth and really finding out what's going on outside.'
Nehammer will also push for 'humanitarian corridors' to evacuate civilians trapped in places such as the besieged city of Mariupol, and for 'international humanitarian organisations to be able to conduct their work, the foreign minister said.
Austria's foreign minister Alexander Schallenberg said the meeting, which will be one-on-one without media opportunities, is meant to tell the Russian president, pictured on April 5, the truth about the war in Ukraine
Austria's top diplomat said he was 'extremely shocked' by the crimes being discovered in Ukraine.
He and other foreign ministers met with the top prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, early Monday. He said he stressed the need to hold all of those responsible to account: 'There cannot be anybody outside or above the law, not even the president.'
Nehammer was also expected to raise alleged war crimes in Bucha and other devastated areas around Kyiv, where Ukrainian authorities say more than 1,200 bodies were found after Russian forces withdrew.
Moscow denies accusations its troops committed war crimes in Ukraine.

Death of woman left homeless after losing job should 'never have happened'
More should have been done to prevent the death of a woman who ended up homeless and sleeping in a tent in Burton, councillors said.
Area leaders in the town say the tragic suicide of a woman who lost her job during the Covid pandemic and ended up homeless "should never have happened".
An inquest into her death heard that Angela Winter and her husband, Michael, lost their jobs as a result of the pandemic and then their home when they could no longer afford to pay their rent.
They ended up moving in with family in March 2021, but following disagreements, moved out and were forced onto the streets and were living in a tent by June 2021.
An urgent review of homeless services in Burton will take place after the death of Mrs Winter - who took a drugs overdose in June last year after being left unable to cope with the couple's dire situation any more.
The case shocked the country when it emerged the woman's distraught husband, who also ended up homeless with his wife, sat with her body for three days after being left devastated by her death.
The inquest heard Mrs Winter grew frustrated with their living conditions and following an argument with her husband stormed off.
He found her dead days later in a wooded copse at the back of Burton Library in the town centre and heartbroken he remained with her body for three days before calling the police.In his statement, Mr Winter told the inquest the couple had often been asked to leave areas where they camped in their tent and, at one point, were told to leave Branston Water Park.
News of Mrs Winter's upsetting death bought an outpouring of grief from people who said the couple had sadly "fallen through the cracks".Now a meeting, East Staffordshire Borough Council has been told by one councillor there had been a "serious mistake" which led to Mrs Winter's death and the authority needed to find out where improvements could be made to ensure such a tragic death "doesn't happen again", said Councillor Richard Grosvenor.He said: "There has been an error, a serious mistake which has led to this and scrutiny needs to find out where that is and to make improvement suggestions to make sure this doesn't happen again, and that needs to be done urgently."He was speaking when a motion was put forward by Councillor Deneice Florence-Jukes who called for an urgent review "to establish if the current practices and policies involved in delivering a service to rough sleepers are the best they can be and make any recommendations".
She said: "The frequency of outreach sweeps [searching for homeless people in the town] are every two weeks and there is a real chance people could be missed. The route of the sweeps needs revising. We want our service to be the best.She later added: "We need to look at the service we provide. This couple clearly weren't capable of being rough sleepers.
"They had been in employment and had had a stable home. They just fell on hard times."
She also suggested information for rough sleepers on how they have access help could be placed on noticeboards on the Washlands, which is often where many end up sleeping rough.
Information compiled by the council and released to the meeting gave a timeline of checks on the number of homeless people in the town and where the Winters were.
The checks are carried out by the borough council working with Burton YMCA, which is the charity that cares for the homeless in the town.It stated that a check was conducted on June 1, 2021 - the same day the Winters became homeless. They were still on the streets during a second check on June 15.
On June 22 Burton YMCA, which works with rough sleepers, responded to reports of two homeless people using the underpass at the A38 in Branston.
However, the charity said it did not find anyone when it visited the next morning.
On June 24 Mrs Winter left her husband. He did not find her dead until June 29 - the same day of check was carried out.The council reported: "The sweep attends hotspots and areas where there have been recent reports [of homeless people].
"It is possible that people who are well concealed, or are making an effort not to be found will not be located.
"Mr Winter is reported as stating that the couple moved their tent periodically, ‘in and around’ Burton which would make them more difficult to locate.
"It should be noted that the location where Mrs Winter was found has not been identified as an area where they camped, either once or at all.Another concern was Mr Winter said the couple relied on food banks.
The council said: "The YMCA record the names of people using the food bank and requests ID where possible in order to monitor usage and offer assistance where necessary.
"There is no record of the Winters. There are, of course, a number of alternative ‘food bank’ type establishments in Burton which the Winters may have been utilising."The report also said Mr Winter claimed the couple had often been asked to leave the areas they were camping.
"The police do not move people on in general, they would call [the council-run] Housing Options, including the out of hours service.
"Individual land owners may ask someone occupying their land to depart, but this would certainly not be commonplace.
"The Open Spaces Team [also council run] do not systematically record contact with rough sleepers/sightings to tents, but there is a strong collaboration with Housing Options and a long established practice of reporting such contacts appropriately to secure assistance for the individuals affected.
"This collaboration applied in the same way to Civil Enforcement who report into the Housing Options team as necessary."

Video Of Siv Ngesi Boxing In High Heels Breaks The Internet
Video Of Siv Ngesi Boxing In High Heels Breaks The Internet
Actor and TV personality Sivuyile “Siv” Ngesi has social media talking after he dropped a video where he is training for boxing in high heels.
The comedian, who appears to be mocking Cassper Nyovest and Naakmusiq following their boxing match on Saturday, posted the video on Monday.
In the video Siv Ngesi, who is wearing a pair of high heels, energetically spars against a punching bag before doing a series of jaw-dropping jumps without losing his balance.
The media personality suggests he would have easily won the Celeb City match in his high heels. He captioned the video,
Even me in heels, they stand no chance! (Watch till the end ) 😂😂😂 #CelebCity
Even me in heels , they stand no chance! (Watch till the end ) 😂😂😂 #CelebCity pic.twitter.com/mhwwJlX3Lp
— Siv Ngesi (@iamSivN) April 11, 2022
The video quickly went viral on social media platforms as many marvelled at Siv Ngesi’s dexterity in boxing in high heels. Many expressed awe and said they would not want to face him in a boxing match.
However, others cautioned that while he has good footwork and balance, boxing against a real opponent is different from sparing with a punching bag. They took the opportunity to remind him that Cassper Nyovest had looked very impressive when training alone, only to be beaten by Naak MusiQ.
Below are some of the reactions to the video of Siv Ngesi boxing in heels which is breaking the internet.
@ChrisSentsomedi

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A new law could reshape the way child dependency cases are handled in Washington state, potentially leading to more children staying with family members without those relatives being required to adopt them.
Under the current practice, the state forces relatives to adopt children when neither parent can take care of the child. If family members don’t wish to adopt, the Department of Children, Youth and Families removes children from those placements, even if those relatives still want permanent kinship guardianship, and places the child up for adoption.
“We’re removing children out of relatives’ homes, loving relatives’ homes, because they’re unwilling to adopt,” said Shrounda Selivanoff, director of public policy for the Children’s Home Society of Washington and a proponent and writer of the legislation.
Children’s Home Society said the state currently “prioritizes termination” of parental rights instead of using other options, the News Tribune reported. Termination of parental rights is not required when a dependency case ends, they said.
Under the new law, the state won't be allowed to move children from their relatives’ care if those relatives don't want to adopt. Financial assistance also has been expanded for relatives who are eligible.

C3'S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
C3 is an artificial intelligence software company that offers software-as-a-service applications for enterprises in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia Pacific, and internationally.
On February 16, 2022, Spruce Point Capital Management, LLC ("Spruce Point Capital") published a short-seller report on C3. In the report, Spruce Point Capital revealed that it found "multiple instances of claims made by C3 that appear to be exaggerated, or don't reconcile with our research findings." Specifically, the report indicates, among other things, that given shifty customer definition disclosures, there is a high probability that C3 is overstating its paying and active customer Inflated Technology Value. Additionally, Spruce Point Capital found that C3's implied market share of just 0.12% supports either market size inflation or its irrelevance in the industry sales cycle.
Following this news, C3's stock price fell $1.01 per share, or 3.93%, to close at $24.70 per share on February 16, 2022.
WHAT CAN I DO?
C3 investors may, no later than May 3, 2022 seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

The San Antonio Spurs surged towards the end of the regular season and managed to successfully secure the final spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament. Like all of the other teams in the postseason field, injuries are a major factor to take into the consideration for this group.
The Spurs are heading into the postseason relatively healthy as their core group of players are in tact and ready to go for the tournament. The only guy that has dealt with injury problems as of late has been Lonnie Walker IV, who missed five games late in the season due to lower back tightness. He returned to the lineup and dropped 24 points and five rebounds against the Warriors on Saturday before being held out of the season finale against the Mavericks on Sunday. He should be ready to go for the first play-in matchup.
San Antonio is the 10-seed and will hit the road to face the nine-seeded Pelicans on Wednesday.

(STL.News) When it comes to borrowing money, it’s crucial to be as prepared as possible. Before signing any paperwork, you need to know what questions to ask your money lender. It will help ensure that you get the best loan possible for your needs. These are the few questions you should ask the moneylender while borrowing money.
1. What Is the Interest Rate on This Loan?
Interest rates vary widely depending on which type of lender you’re dealing with. A traditional bank or credit union may offer low-interest rates, while private money lenders might charge higher fees than other types of lenders. It would be best if you always asked about these things upfront so that there aren’t any surprises later down the road.
2. What Are the Terms of This Loan?
The terms of a loan can include things like the length of the loan, when the payments are due, and any fees associated with the loan. Make sure you understand all of these before signing anything. If you don’t understand something, ask your lender to explain it in more detail.
3. What Are the Fees Associated With This Loan?
Fees can include things like origination, servicing, or application fees. Make sure you know which ones apply to your situation before signing anything. It may also be helpful to ask about any late-payment penalties so that you’re not surprised if something happens at some point during repayment time (like a missed payment).
4. What Is the Minimum Credit Score Required for This Loan?
Most lenders require a certain amount of money down or collateral before they’ll approve your application. It may be as little as $500, but it could also go higher depending on what type of loan you’re looking at getting approved for.
5. What Are the Terms of Repayment?
How long will it take to pay back your loan, and what is the interest rate associated with this type of payment plan? These are all critical questions that need answering before signing anything.
6. Can You Get a Pre-approval for This Loan?
It is an important question to ask, especially if you’re looking for a specific type of loan. Pre-approvals can help speed up the process once you’re ready to apply for the loan. It’s also helpful to know how much money you’ll be able to borrow ahead of time so that you don’t get caught off guard when it comes time to make a final decision.
7. What’s the Maximum Amount You Can Borrow?
This question is vital to ask, especially if you know you’ll need a large sum of money. It’s also helpful to know the minimum and maximum loan sizes so that you can get an idea of your options.
8. What’s the Total Cost of This Loan?
It includes closing costs, fees, and interest rates. Ensure that you ask your lender about all three so there aren’t any surprises later down the road. It may also be helpful to ask if they have any unique financing options available for borrowers who need them most (like first-time homebuyers).
9. What Are the Pros and Cons of This Loan?
It is an excellent question to ask because it will help give you an idea of your options. You’ll also be able to see any drawbacks associated with this type of loan before signing anything at all.
10. Is There Any Reason Why You Shouldn’t Get This Loan?
They should tell you if there are many reasons why you shouldn’t get the loan. It could be anything from your credit score to the amount of money you’re looking to borrow. If something doesn’t seem quite right, ask more questions until you understand what’s going on.
11. How Long Does It Take to Get Approved?
It may be helpful to ask how long approval takes before signing anything. It will help give you an idea of when you’ll have access to your funds and start using them for your intentions.
12. What Is the APR?
The APR stands for annual percentage rate, and it tells you how much interest will be charged on top of your loan amount every year. Make sure that this number doesn’t exceed what other lenders offer, or else you might end up paying more than necessary.
If you know you can afford to make larger payments over a shorter period, it may be a better option than stretching out the payments over a more extended period.
When borrowing money, these are just a few questions you should ask your moneylender. Keeping yourself prepared and asking the right questions, you can be sure that you’re getting the best loan for your needs.

Qualified initially worked with a smaller administrative services organization (ASO) for payroll services and light HR functions which David described as a “solution that made sense at the time when the company first started, but everything was pieced together.” Their ASO provided limited HR expertise so much of the manual work required to administer complex HR functions like sponsoring benefits, workers’ compensation coverage and employment-related compliance fell on the Qualified leadership team. “It was a daunting task and took up a lot of our management team’s time,” said David. “For a growing company, it's a lot of research and responsibility to make sure we’re in compliance with employment regulations in every state.” Although they’re headquartered in San Francisco, their team is comprised of remote employees located across North America.
Qualified soon realized that the abundance of manual HR tasks around benefits administration, multiple state payroll tax filing requirements and managing a variety of vendors’ solutions was becoming a full-time job, yet it wasn’t a role they desired to internally fill. They needed an outsourced HR solution with a broader scope and a single, comprehensive HR platform to flex with their growing needs. “Getting HR out of the executives' hands to free them up to strategically manage the company was a really important thing that we were looking to do,” said David. By working with TriNet, David and his team no longer need to scrutinize various government websites for employment regulation requirements and correctly navigating HR-related risks. TriNet stays abreast of employment-related regulatory changes and provides timely updates so the Qualified team can have peace of mind. “TriNet does a great job handling that for us,” said David.
Qualified also shares a challenge all too familiar among tech organizations that are rapidly scaling—competing for top talent who possess the skills required to push the envelope. “You want to be able to get the best employees, and when you do get them, you want to be able to offer them large company benefits. That’s something that TriNet was able to provide,” said David. Access to a variety of benefit plans from regional and national insurance carriers is an important recruiting and retention tool, especially as their employees are located in multiple states. “We're all living in a pandemic right now, and making sure that you have access to proper health benefits and other benefits that can cover you in case the need arises has been a resonating question across a lot of the candidates that we interviewed,” acknowledged David. The Qualified team can now tout that their offering includes access to an extensive range of benefits that go beyond health care plans, including access to retirement plans, pet insurance, critical accident and illness policies, commuter benefits, among many more. “Having the ability to offer a variety of benefits to our employees has given them peace of mind and has made us more competitive when we're looking for top talent at our stage,” said David.
Qualified recently achieved a significant milestone by raising $12 million in Series A funding and doubled the size of their team to help them continue to deliver the leading conversational marketing platform. David is at the forefront of managing this growth by ensuring proper onboarding processes with support of TriNet technology. “The ability to quickly, seamlessly onboard our employees with TriNet has definitely been one of the more helpful things for us,” said David. The TriNet online self-service platform empowers new Qualified employees to easily manage their own HR data such as updating personal information, enrolling in benefits, electing direct deposit, reviewing company policies and completing their Form I-9, to name a few tasks. “TriNet has made our life easier with hiring one or two employees every month,” said David. “With handling both finance and operations, it's really nice to have the TriNet technology platform that has everything centralized in one place that I can access.” David can now focus on ensuring his new employees are comfortable and have access to the information they need. The ease of onboarding applies to foreign national employees as well. “With TriNet, the ability to add an international individual and seamlessly set them up factored into our design-making. We thought that was going to be a big pain point, but TriNet easily solved that,” said David. The TriNet Immigration Services team understands processes involved in hiring foreign nationals, applying for work visas and permits for newly hired Qualified employees, and renewing them for existing employees.
TriNet understands that not all HR functions can be completed through an online platform and a more personalized experience is often needed. “Their HR experts, which is TriNet customer support, have been very amazing as far as onboarding goes and when it comes to critical questions for our employees. For example, we had one employee who had questions about maternity leave, others have questions on policies around returning to the office, safety and regulations as a result of COVID-19,” said David. “Having access to these experts and getting those questions answered quickly is a huge value point that we appreciate because it's a task that is quickly solved so that you can focus on other things.”
Qualified’s mission is clear. They are focused on “being the number one conversational platform for Salesforce customers,” notes David. “TriNet gives us the ability to scale fast and allows us to focus on our core business, as they help with HR compliance, reporting, onboarding, a lot of those things.”

Responsibility for cleaning up space can be modelled on strategies to mitigate climate change. Satellites orbiting Earth provide essential services to humanity. They connect us via the internet, they help with mapping and GPS and they monitor our changing climate, among other things. But ‘space junk’ threatens our use of satellites.
Decommissioned satellites or their dislocated parts may lead to a chain reaction where small pieces of debris tear apart large objects in a cascading event creating more and more debris.
Responsibility for space junk removal is an environmental problem similar in some ways to climate change — it’s a collective responsibility. And just as managing climate change is assisted by satellites, so managing satellite debris can be assisted by climate change.
‘Common but Differentiated Responsibilities’
Like climate change, the problem of space junk can only be tackled by international cooperation. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, signed at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, was the first and most complex instrument of international law to address climate change and can provide some insights into how to manage space junk.
The convention includes a principle called Common but Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR). It says “states should be held accountable in different measure according to their respective historical and current contributions to the creation of global environmental problems and their respective capacities to address these problems”.
With climate change, nations acknowledged that industrialised countries had contributed significantly more to climate change than countries with developing economies and therefore should bear greater responsibility for managing its consequences. According to the “polluter-pays” principle, the extent that a country has contributed to climate change as well as its capacity to mitigate climate change is taken into account.
All space activities are threatened by space junk contamination. The plans of nations that do not yet possess the resources to engage in space activities may be rendered meaningless by it, and that’s even if only the space objects that are still in use are considered. Countless defunct objects cloud Earth’s orbit and they are growing in number.
When they have developed the means to do so, these nations may discover they can no longer exercise their right to explore space. Philosophers throughout history have pondered how best to coordinate international cooperation and decision-making. In Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch (1795), Immanuel Kant considers the repercussions of humanity entering a universal community where violations of the law in a certain part of the world are experienced everywhere.
Envisioning the world as a federation of states promoting international trade and abolishing war, Kant proposes ‘cosmopolitan law’ as the foundation for global society to guarantee lasting peace. Kant’s ideas influenced the establishment of the League of Nations as well as the contemporary United Nations.
In 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC) was formally established. It introduced a new version of cosmopolitan law that transcends Kant’s concept. Its version reflects the tendency of international law to weaken state sovereignty or the fact that an individual is subject to their national laws. It gives people rights and responsibilities under international law.
Long-term human security
Nations share common experiences, such as climate change, and they rely on the same global prices. They transit weapons to other countries and affect the lives of people on the other side of the globe. International relations scholar Anthony Burke speaks about a “common space of life and death that we have created”. He argues that “globalised human existence” should be understood as “a networked set of interdependencies and obligations beyond all borders”.
Such a global society system would assist long-term human security. Nations and their militaries would need to behave responsibly with regard to future generations and the sustainability of the global ecosystem.
Burke acknowledges that pursuing universal values and global ends would require the transformation of states and international law. Power and cooperation on global issues would be reconfigured. He refines Kant’s concepts simply as: “act as if both the principles and consequences of your action will become global, across space and through time, and act only in ways that will bring a more secure life for all human beings closer”.
International legal instrument
Developing an international legal instrument for space junk mitigation would expand the concept of sustainability from Earth to outer space while shifting the issue of orbital debris in a cosmopolitan direction. New laws could follow the architecture of the Kyoto Protocol and the responsibility principle that underpins it.
The responsibility principle was crafted to tackle global environmental problems and is therefore perfectly applicable to space junk — an environmental problem on a global scale. Nations that only recently initiated their space activities, or plan to do so, face environmental degradation for which they bear no responsibility.
The equitable way forward is for the nations that were responsible for space-junk to clean it up. This accords with the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space when it says “mitigation of existing debris should take into consideration the (responsibility) principle”.

Sanolla's pioneering technology draws lifesaving medical insights from listening to bodily sounds that cannot be heard by humans
The startup's AI algorithms provide unmatched disease classification for many cardiopulmonary diseases including COPD, pneumonia, asthma, and cardiac morbidities
NESHER, Israel, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Israeli startup Sanolla, which provides AI-powered primary care diagnostic solutions, announced that the FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for the clinical use of the AI-ready VoqXTM, the first stethoscope in the world that can listen to infrasound - acoustic waves that cannot be heard by humans. The FDA clearance follows the Israeli Health Ministry's recently granted regulatory approval. The regulatory approvals enable Sanolla to immediately make the VoqX available for clinical use in the US and Israel, with the aim of replacing all of today's archaic-technology stethoscopes with its smart infrasound stethoscope.
Sanolla's AI algorithms provide unmatched disease classification for many cardiopulmonary diseases including COPD, pneumonia, asthma, and cardiac morbidities. The company has submitted 20 patent applications, 8 of which have already been granted.
"FDA clearance is an important milestone for Sanolla. The VoqX, which has been used extensively for studies in the United States, Europe and Israel, is now available for clinical use," said Dr. Doron Adler, Sanolla's co-founder and CEO. "Our distribution partners have been waiting for this moment to begin sales in the US and other territories."
Sanolla's novel technology, dubbed "The Sounds of Life", picks up clinically rich low-frequency sound waves (3-40Hz), also known as infrasound, which are not audible to the human ear yet carry diagnostic information beyond what is available in the audible spectrum only.
The VoqX's smart signal processing shifts sounds to the ear's most sensitive frequency range and coupled with dynamic noise cancelation provides an exceptional auscultation experience. Sanolla has developed AI algorithms for disease classification that make full use of the infrasound information that will be uploaded to the AI-ready VoqX upon their regulatory clearance. Alongside the VoqX, the company has developed the PyXy™ home monitoring device for chronic disease management and early exacerbation detection for chronic cardiopulmonary diseases.
Sanolla was established in 2016 by Dr. Doron Adler (CEO) and David Linhard (COO). To date, the startup raised $16 million, which include $9 million from the founders, angels, and NextLeap Ventures and $7 million from the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme and the Israel Innovation Authority. The company is set to begin a Round A funding raise this summer to cover sales, marketing, R&D, manufacturing collaborations and regulatory approvals.
Dr. Michael Wasserman, MD, a recognized expert on geriatric care and a member of federal and state advisory committees, said: "The VoqX is an excellent tool for diagnosing cardiopulmonary morbidities including valvular pathologies. Its acoustic optimization and dynamic noise cancellation make the VoqX an indispensable tool for physicians in any environment and is expected to improve early detection of heart and lung diseases at the primary care level by general practitioners".

Shoppers can get £100 off Argos hanging egg chair just in time for summer
ARGOS has slashed the price of its hanging egg chair by 20%, giving shoppers a chance to glam up their gardens for less.
If you haven't yet hopped on the swinging furniture bandwagon, this is how much you can grab one for at Argos before the warm weather hits.
The Habitat Dove one-seater metal hanging egg chair is listed on the Argos website for £400, down from £500 - saving shoppers £100 in total.
But note that delivery charges aren't included in this price and usually cost an extra £6.95 or £12.95 depending which slot you choose.
Shoppers can have the item delivered as soon as this week, with slots available from Friday April 15, depending on your location.
The item is made from metal and polyester, but features an open weave rattan design.
It's only available in a "natural" colour, unlike other similar chairs which are available in grey - so keep that in mind when browsing.
You won't have to worry about buying a separate cushion for the chair though, as it comes with a thick, padded, white seat for comfort.
And Argos has factored in practicality as well as comfort by making the chair weatherproof, meaning you can leave it outside all year round.
The website notes the item will need assembling, meaning you'll be required to do a touch of DIY to get the chair set up.
Most read in Money
Though this should be fairly simple - so don't panic if you're not well accustomed to a screwdriver.
Should you have any issues with this piece, Argos offers customers a one year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind.
One shopper left a five star review of the item on Argos' website saying: "Really comfy, sturdy and looks really stylish. Great value for money compared to some others I looked at.
"I can't wait until summer to use it properly!"
But if you're looking for a cheaper chair, there are plenty of other options - so be sure to shop around for the best deal before you buy.
And if you wasn't planning to buy the item before it was discounted, you should be wary of buying it simply because it's in sale or risk going over budget.
This isn't the only egg chair Argos has up for grabs.
Fans of the stylish furniture pieces can also choose the Argos Home Jaye hanging egg chair in grey for £288, down from £360 -a saving of £112.
Shopping elsewhere could save you even more.
Low cost supermarket Asda has also slashed the price of its hanging egg chair to just £199 too.
Meanwhile, other retailers like Dunelm, Aldi and B&Q have sold out of their egg chair stocks due to the growing demand for the stylish item.
We've rounded up the six best garden hanging egg chairs ahead of the heatwave.
And if you're looking for other garden furniture, Argos is selling a gas BBQ with 61% off.

LONDON (AP) — A jury deliberated for just 18 minutes Monday before finding a fervent Islamic State supporter guilty of stabbing lawmaker David Amess to death a slaying that shocked the nation and sparked calls for increased police protection for politicians.
Ali Harbi Ali, 26, was found guilty by London’s Central Criminal Court of murder and preparing terrorist acts. Ali stabbed the veteran British lawmaker to death last year while he was meeting with voters at a church hall in eastern England.
Ali, who had spent years researching and planning potential attacks on lawmakers, had defended his actions by saying Amess deserved to die as a result of voting for airstrikes on Syria in 2014 and 2015.
Ali, a London man with Somali heritage, had denied charges of murder and preparing acts of terrorism.
Opening the trial, prosecutor Tom Little said the case was “nothing less than an assassination” carried out because of a “warped and twisted and violent ideology.”
“It was a murder carried out by that young man who for many years had been planning just such an attack and who was, and is, a committed, fanatical, radicalized Islamist terrorist,” he said.
Little said Ali bought the knife used to attack Amess five years earlier, and that Ali tricked his way into meeting Amess by pretending to be one of his constituents.
Amess, 69, had been a member of Parliament since 1983. He was pronounced dead at the scene after the stabbing.
The prosecutor also said that Ali had researched and planned attacks on lawmakers and the Parliament building from at least 2019. The research included reconnaissance trips targeting work and home addresses of two other lawmakers, Mike Freer and Cabinet member Michael Gove, he added.
The slaying of Amess shook the nation, as lawmakers often meet directly with the public. It came five years after Labour Party lawmaker Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death by a far-right extremist.

GOOD Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford has given a rare glimpse inside his home life as he revealed he is engaged to fiancee Imogen McKay.
TV presenter Alex said he proposed on New Year's Day while they were on holiday in Majorca.
Away from the chaos of live TV, Alex relaxes in his stunning home in Bristol which he shares with his son Cruz, 12, and dog Peaches.
And it seems when he's not arguing with Piers Morgan, presenting the weather, or appearing on talent shows like All Star Musical he's busy getting his body in shape at his home gym, or posing for selfies in his stunning home.
The star can be seen looking smart in one snap, wearing a grey suit jacket and standing alongside a grey-themed corridor and interior.
On the wall are black, white and grey framed pictures complementing the grey hues entering the kitchen area, with a modern lamp fitting hanging from the ceiling.
The bedroom area where he is seen relaxing with son Cruz features a grey velvet bedhead, with a dark grey and silver lamp with beige and neutral bed linen in the minimalistic area with a blue velvet bed base.
Floor to ceiling mirrors feature in the room creating more visual space.
The Bristol garden is surrounded by greenery and trees overlooking the outer area.
It features a hanging swing chair, a perfect Astro turf lawn with white plant beds surrounding the grass with planted palms and blue slouchy chairs for catching some rays and relaxing in.
The bedroom features a grey carpet, with a white chest of drawers, a small pink wooden stall, white shutters and more modern plants.
Modern fixtures and fittings are seen in the grey and white chic kitchen with a huge clock on the wall in gold and black.
The spotless area is the perfect place for one of his buff selfies.
The handsome weatherman can also be seen snuggling up to his pooch on the brown leather sofa wearing a cosy dressing gown.
The Good Morning Britain weatherman and 29-year-old McKay have been dating since August 2020 after a mutual friend set them up on a blind date.
Beresford told Hello! magazine: "I'd been on my own for a while and was ready for a new relationship. But I was adamant I didn't want to try a dating website.
"I'm of an age where before social media, you met a girl, took her phone number and called to invite her out."
He explained that he asked a friend if she knew anyone he would get on with, to which she replied: "I do - but she's way too good for you".
The presenter said he laughed along and told her "She's the one that I want!"
Reflecting on the beginning of their relationship, he said: "We hit it off from the start.
"We talked every day about our shared values and goals, and our love for our families. We've always been on the same page."
McKay grew up in Australia and works in e-commerce operations for a top London restaurant.
She revealed that she had never seen Beresford on television before meeting him and refrained from looking him up beforehand as she wanted to find out for herself what he was like.
Recalling their first date in Bristol, where Beresford lives, she said: "When we met, it felt as if we'd known each other for ages. Holding hands and laughing together just came naturally."
The couple have since had a long-distance relationship moving between Bristol and London before their engagement.
Beresford described the "amazing moment" when he popped the question to McKay while they were walking along the beach in Majorica.
He said: "The weather was sunny and warm, and the sea was crystal clear. 'This is it,' I thought.
"Imogen's not one for taking photos, but as I persuaded her to pose for a picture overlooking the sea, I kneeled down to take the engagement ring I'd hidden inside my rucksack.
"When she turned around, I was on one knee, and asked her the biggest question of my life - and she said yes. It was an amazing moment."
The couple plan to return to Majorca for their wedding in September, which will have around 100 guests to help them celebrate their big day.
Beresford's 12-year-old son Cruz, from his previous marriage with Natalia Natkaniec, will act as ring bearer and best man.

Alex said two years ago he "never imagined" he'd be single as he approached 40 years old in an interview for the Britain Get Talking podcast.
In the chat, the star spoke to newsreader Kylie Pentelow, who asked if he was looking for love.
The GMB favourite who had split from Natasha a year before replied: "It's been a massive learning curve, I didn't think at the age of 20 that when I was approaching 40, I would be in this situation.
"The age of 40, you'll be married, you'll be a grown up, you'll have a kid or two, your life is going to be set. I'm not old, I don't feel old, it's a bit daunting.
"But we've been in lockdown, so even if I wanted to go on a date, I couldn't go on a date.
"I don't want to grow old on my own, life is for sharing and it'd be great to meet someone in the future but they have to be right for me, right for Cruz."
Alex explained they decided to part ways but lived together until the start of 2020.
"I'm not a quitter, and I hate quitting things," he added.
"We tried to work through things, but at some point you realise the best thing to do for everybody is walk away, but walking away is never easy."
He continued: "We were in the same house up until the beginning of this year, knowing that we were parting ways, it takes a while to figure things out. One thing I didn't want to do is rush things.
"By being in that house, knowing we weren't together, we started to get on better - it removed a lot of the stress and expectation that a relationship can bring."

GOP candidate Vernon Jones says gay rights, civil rights are ‘two different things’
( The Hill ) — Georgia congressional candidate Vernon Jones (R) on Thursday argued that gay rights should not be compared to civil rights for people of color because being gay is a choice.
In an interview with former Trump aide Steve Bannon on his podcast “War Room,” Jones argued that the civil rights movement for African Americans and the civil rights movement for the LGBT community are “two different things.”
“Civil rights for Blacks and civil rights for gays are two different things,” Jones told Bannon. “I don’t know what you are unless you tell me what you are if you’re gay. But when I walk into that room, you can tell that I’m Black from cradle to grave. Let’s not get that confused.”
Denver police respond to LoDo shooting among large opening day crowdsJones, who is running for a U.S. House seat in Georgia’s 10th district, has been endorsed by former President Trump.
He told Bannon that members of the LGBT community could change their identity.
“They can actually change. You can go from being straight to being gay to being transgender and all these other genders,” Jones continued. “But when you’re Black, I don’t have a choice. I don’t have a choice. So to compare the two … it rubs me the wrong way.”
Jones initially launched a bid for Georgia governor but announced in February he was dropping out of the race after he met with Trump and the former president had endorsed former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) for governor.
LGBT rights, specifically revolving around the transgender community, have become a key issue in the lead up to the 2022 midterms.
Republican-led state legislatures across the country have introduced or passed bills that would ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
4 car crash spree leaves 2 dead, including 5-year oldStates including Florida, Utah and Alabama have passed legislation that would ban transgender women and girls from participating on the sports team that corresponds with their gender identity.
During Thursday’s interview, Jones accused Democrats of “breaking down the moral fiber and fabric of the African American community” with woke ideology.
“To see what’s happening now, it’s un-American,” Jones added. “It’s going to take conservative African Americans to save the Republican party. Because they saved us from slavery.”

A huge number of us decided to welcome new puppies into our homes over the last two years – Kennel Club figures show dog ownership soared by nearly eight percent and post-lockdown demand for four-legged friends remains high.
There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.
Some dogs are always hungry and are experts at making their humans feel guilty when they are tucking into a meal – whining, looking mournful and pawing at their owner until they give in and drop a scrap into their awaiting mouth.
It can be particularly annoying for guests, who may take a dim view of a hungry dog intently watching every bite they take.
Training a dog to go to lie down in a particular spot during meal times and never feeding your pooch at the table, are two tactics to tackle this behaviour, particularly if you have opted for one of the breeds that have a propensity to mooch.
Here are the 10 dogs most likely to beg at the table, according to the American Kennel Club.

Aishling Rafferty who will sing at the concert in Moate
A line-up of country music stars, including recent Hot Country TV awards Award winners Larissa Trmey from Kilbeggan, Alex Roe from Clara, and Aishling Rafferty (who also won Glór Tíre 2022), plus Eurovision legend Charlie McGettiganand Glór Tíre judge Caitriona O'Sullivan are on their way to the Tuar Ard Arts Centre in Moate this week.
The talented array of entertainers, which also includes P.J. Murrihy, Dave Lawlor, and Ger O'Brien, will perform at the Voices for Peace concert this coming Thursday night, April 14th, with proceeds going to the Irish Red Cross in aid of Ukraine.
The event, which is being held in association with the Tuar Ard and which will see the Sunday World's Eddie Rowley as MC for the night, has been initiated by singer/songwriter Larissa Tormey, who was recently honoured with the Music Without Borders award at the annual Hot Country TV Awards Concert. Larissa has also just been nominated by Hot Press magazine in their Ground-Breaking Female Artist of 2021 category, sharing that spotlight with Imelda May, Denise Chaila, Sinead O' Connor, and CMAT, to name but a few.
Speaking about the Voices For Peace concert, midlands based Larissa explained why this was something she felt compelled to do...
"As a writer, and as a performer - and even just as a human-being - positivity is so important. Being able to find ways to connect with people, and to express and share different feelings and emotions that we all understand. Just from a human point of view, it's so hard to see what's happening right now in Ukraine. But from an artist's point of view, you start to think, well what can I do? What can I do that might help in even some small way? And the answer is to call for peace, and to sing for peace, because that's what we all want to see."
Larissa continued, "I'm so grateful to everybody involved in this project for lending their support. All of the artists on the bill, Eddie Rowley who is coming down to MC, Nolan Sound who have been brilliant as well, and of course the wonderful team at the Tuar Ard. I hope people will come along on the night and support us, because this night is all about trying to raise some funds that can be directed to where it's most needed right now by the Irish Red Cross. I know we all feel incredibly helpless at the moment, but this is something positive that we can all do. This is a way that we can connect with each other and remind ourselves again that we are all just people, with so many things in common. And we all want peace in this world."
~ The Voices for Peae concert takes place on Thursday, April 14, at the Tuar Ard Arts Centre in Moate. Doors open at 7.15pm, with the show beginning at 8pm. Proceeds from the night will be donated to the Irish Red Cross in aid of Ukraine. Tickets, which are just €20, are available from the Tuar Ard box-office on 090-6482042 (no booking fee), online at www.tuarard.ie (booking fee applies), or from Trax in the Bridge Centre, Tullamore, or Tormey Butchers, Tullamore.

We previously talked on the TriNet blog about HR issues that small and midsize businesses (SMBs) can expect in 2018. In this post, we focus on some trends that will particularly affect the biotech industry and give tips for biotech companies to overcome these issues in the new year.
The biggest risks to biotech companies with regard to sexual harassment
There are three major risks to businesses in regard to sexual harassment. The first risk is not proactively putting processes in place to help prevent harassment.
The second risk is not being prepared for a harassment claim, which would include not responding to an allegation or responding inappropriately. For example, telling someone who is alleging harassment “that’s just Joe” or “that’s just our culture” or “that’s a customer so we can’t address your concern.”
Then there’s the risk of not responding appropriately to a harassment allegation. This means taking measures that can be seen by the complainant as retaliation--such as moving them to another department or location--or not taking appropriate disciplinary measures against the person who is found to have committed an action that is harassment or a violation of your company policy. You must always take timely and appropriate action based on the results of a thorough investigation.
Steps companies should take to prevent harassment from occurring
There are a few steps that all employers should take well before an incident has a chance to happen. The first is to create a written policy about harassment in the workplace that includes:
Employers should also conduct mandatory harassment training, both for new hires and refreshers for tenured employees. Some states have regulations mandating and governing such training. For example, in California, companies with 50 or more employees are required by law to provide two hours of sexual harassment prevention training (including harassment based on gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation) to all supervisors within six months of hire or promotion and every two years thereafter. This is a good rule of thumb to follow for all employees, even if your applicable state or local laws don’t require such extensive training.
We also recommend employers hold separate training for supervisors as compared to non-supervisors. Supervisors are the first line of identifying and reporting an incident so they should be trained on the proper procedure should one occur. An employer may also be held vicariously liable for any unlawful harassment by supervisors so it’s crucial to prevent harassment by supervisors from ever occurring.
Another thing that is helpful in combatting harassment is making a harassment-free company part of your culture. Instill throughout your company the belief that nobody should ever fear retaliation from speaking up. If anything, they should fear silence. This means it is everyone’s responsibility to report any incident of harassment. Make sure your employees feel not only comfortable and empowered to report harassment but that they understand that speaking up about any issue of harassment is part of their responsibility as a member of your team.
What companies should do to make sure they are prepared to respond appropriately to an incident
It is imperative that businesses have a qualified HR professional or attorney to help not only with creating policies and procedures that encourage a culture of zero tolerance for any type of harassment but to enable managers to respond promptly and appropriately to any harassment allegations.
Don’t try to wing it yourself. Harassment is a serious issue and it’s best left to a professional to handle, once you have a complaint and it becomes necessary to do an investigation. Time is of the essence here so, again, you’ll want to hire this professional before you even need them.
Create a culture of zero tolerance
Reinforce your open-door policies. Allow your employees to have safe spaces at work where they can speak with HR or a member of management about any issue. This will allow you to respond to unwanted conduct much more efficiently, as well as reduce the stigma associated with openly sharing this information.
Next, communicate to employees their rights and responsibilities. Your written policy should be given to employees during the onboarding process after they are hired, when an employee becomes a people manager, when the materials in the policy are updated and otherwise on an annual basis. Employees should be required to acknowledge, with a signature, that they have received the policy. This acknowledgement of receipt should be kept in their personnel file.
Employees should be made aware that retaliation for reporting harassment, for participating in a harassment proceeding (such as an investigation) or for otherwise opposing harassment is illegal. They should also know that your internal policies encourage (and possibly even mandate if they are a supervisor) that they report any incidents of harassment they either witness or are affected by.
Then, set the example of a workplace that is respectful and safe for all employees. The company culture is created from the top down so it is important that your organization’s leaders demonstrate appropriate conduct. The biggest thing you can do to make sure you are creating a culture where harassment of any kind has no chance to grow is to make sure that old-fashioned respect is a huge component of how your employees interact. It’s all about respecting each other. Continue to show your team that you take any incidents or allegations of harassment seriously by training all managers on the need to bring every incident to the attention of HR and senior leadership so that a prompt and thorough investigation can be conducted.
Guard against false claims
If you are properly training and constantly communicating with your employees on the issue, you are being very clear as to what are and are not acceptable behaviors. Any claim of harassment, even one that is determined not to violate your anti-harassment policy after a prompt and thorough investigation, can help cement your company culture of zero tolerance by showing that you do not retaliate against anyone who comes forward and that you take all allegations of harassment seriously.
Most importantly, it’s better that all incidents of potential harassment be reported to ensure that absolutely no conduct that violates your anti-harassment policy goes unreported. Even if the reported incident is found not to violate your anti-harassment policy after a thorough investigation, the behavior may still be considered unprofessional and you may still want to address it in an appropriate manner.
Salary equality
Various companies have taken steps, especially over the last few years, to close the gender gap when it comes to compensation. The trend will likely continue into 2018 as more states and cities enact laws intended to keep employers from asking about—or relying on—salary history as a basis for compensation negotiations, which is one way to combat historic difference in compensation by gender.
California is on the cutting edge of this trend. Previously, California enacted the California Equal Pay Act and the state’s Fair Pay Act. These regulations 1) allow employees to openly discuss compensation and 2) require equal pay for employees who perform “substantially similar work,” among other provisions. In addition, California recently passed a ban on salary history inquiry that began on January 1. This ban prohibits California employers from asking about or seeking previous salary history and from including that information in decisions regarding compensation or an offer of employment. Notably, the California law requires an employer, upon reasonable request, to provide an applicant with the pay scale for a position.
Delaware and Oregon also have compensation history inquiry restrictions in place. Massachusetts is set to follow in 2018. San Francisco and New York City have also passed similar regulations. Additionally, there are federal laws, such as the Lily Ledbetter Equal Pay Act and the Equal Pay Act, which address unfair wage gaps.
We believe all companies should take note and expect the list to grow over time as more and more cities and states seek strategies to address pay inequality.
The importance of equal compensation in recruiting talent
Making sure you provide fair, competitive compensation is always a concern for my mid-level and smaller biotech clients. This is because when you need the same talent as Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson but your pockets aren’t so deep, you need to look for ways to offer competitive compensation while staying in budget.
Don’t just look at base pay. Thinking outside the box can help you attract and retain your talent. Short and long-term incentives can make a real difference. So can stock options, annual incentive pay (bonuses tied to projects or company results) and professional growth opportunities that they might not get at larger firms.
What companies can do to improve their ability to recruit and advance women
We already noted that it is a good practice for companies to address salary equality but it’s also important, if you want to attract a diverse employee base, to be strategic with your compensation package.
Think about things like benefits. Medical, dental, vision, wellness, life insurance, retirement--these are all very important to attracting qualified diverse employees across all industries. The good news is there are ways for smaller biotech companies to offer the same or better benefits as the Fortune 500 companies without breaking the bank. That’s where a professional employer organization, like TriNet, comes in, by offering access to group insurance and retirement plans like the larger companies enjoy.
Then there are the fringe benefits. Many of the companies I talk to offer additional benefits like wellness programs, pet insurance, education reimbursement and gym memberships, which can help give you a richer benefits offering without a lot of additional expense and can also appeal to a diverse group of people. Other things to consider are remote working options and onsite daycare, which can both be very helpful in attracting more women.

The Treasury has allegedly blocked the government’s further spending on energy efficiency measures that could insulate Britain’s homes against soaring energy bills.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Energy Minister Lord Callanan said: “The government’s Energy Security Strategy sets out a comprehensive package of measures to improve the UK’s energy security. We will support the deployment of onshore wind across the UK and this includes a commitment to consult this year on onshore wind partnerships in supportive local areas in England.
“We are also spending a total of £6.6 billion across the lifetime of this parliament to retrofit the nation’s buildings and the Chancellor announced the removal of VAT on energy efficiency measures.”
Asked about whether the government did not choose to expand the rollout of cheaper alternative measures to nuclear and offshore wind to help customers tackle the rising cost of living, Lord Callanan said: “It would have been good to go further but regrettably that was not possible. It would have been good to go further but the Treasury would not support it.”
Last week, the government’s climate advisors, the Climate Change Committee said it was disappointing not to see in the Energy Security Strategy more on energy efficiency and on supporting households to make changes that can cut their energy bills now.
ELN has contacted the Treasury for a response.

If you want to be a sexy, trendy, and fashionable person, there are a few basic fashion tips to know. Whether it's Paris Fashion Week or just another night on the town, these are habits of highly chic individuals.
If you look at the habits and behaviors in our list, you will see how easy it is to be fashionable with your own style. Because when it comes to being fashion-forward, certain things matter most.
1. They subscribe to newsletters.
Fashion-forward people, designers, and companies have newsletters. Subscribe to them and read them as they come out.
RELATED: 5 Fashion Trends Men And Women Secretly Hate On Each Other
2. They read fashion magazines and websites.
Find the companies and magazines with the fashion style you love and get a subscription.
3. They follow fashion-forward bloggers.
So many fashionistas are bloggers. Subscribe to and read their blogs. Follow their blogs and social media channels to stay on top of the latest fashion tips from them.
4. They visit your tailor to make your clothes fit.
It’s okay to buy something that is trendy and you love but doesn’t fit 100 percent right. Take it to your tailor to get fitted or adjusted and you will be happy that you didn’t pass it up.
It's also important to have a tailor because you should take clothes and shoes to be fixed before they get completely ripped or destroyed.
5. They don’t pass up clothing because it's "dry clean only."
Do you shy away from buying an article of clothing you love just because the label says "dry clean only"? Fashionable people never worry about dry clean only items, so buy that sweater you're eyeing and make a commitment to drop off your dry cleaning once a month.
6. They don’t worry about the size labels.
Different clothing manufacturers make clothes in varying sizes. You should always try something on in the store and never be afraid to try a different size. Different sizes from a different manufacturer might fit you just fine.
Also, trying on something that is a size larger can give you a completely different look that might suit you better.
7. They build a wardrobe that is full of basic "core" pieces.
Fashionable people have those “core” items they always keep in their closets and then build around them. You should keep the core items for your wardrobe in your closet too. It can be a blazer that you mix and match, your favorite pair of jeans, or other clothing pieces you use to layer on your style.
8. If you love it, buy it — even if you don't know where you're going to wear it yet.
When you're shopping, if you find an outfit that you absolutely love, buy it! It won’t be there when you get invited to a party next month, but if it is in your closet, you are all set! Besides, you can always make an occasion to wear something special.
9. They try out the new fashion trends.
We always tell our kids when it comes to trying new foods that “you never know you like it unless you try it.” The same applies to clothing. Fashionable people try new things all the time.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should buy every new trend. Only choose the elements that work best with your overall style, body type, and fashion sense.

10. They become friendly with the sales associates at your favorite stores.
Your sales associates should be your best friends. Treat them nice and soon you will be privy to inside sales, new arrivals first, and so on.
11. They always be on the lookout and ready to buy.
Shopping doesn’t have to mean buying. When you shop often, you can stay on top of trends, see new trends as they come into play, and know when things go on sale. This is important because fashionable people can find style anywhere, no matter the store.
12. They avoid looking like you're trying too hard.
Fashionable people can always seem well put together without looking like they tried too hard. We all know that looking stylish still takes some effort, but just don’t overdo it.
13. They know your own style and preferences.
Figuring out your own style can be as simple as figuring out what looks good on you. Just because celebrities or models are wearing something in a magazine doesn’t make it stylish. A big part of style is finding something that is right for you, your style, your body type, and the climate you are in.
Get breaking news & relationship advice delivered to your inbox daily!
14. They understand that attitude, comfort, and confidence are 90 percent of fashion.
Too often people try too hard and choose something that is not comfortable or they don’t feel good in. Instead, feel good about your style and recognize that if you don’t, it could be your confidence that is the missing element.
15. They plan ahead and allow themselves enough time to get ready.
Try to pick out your clothes ahead of time and think things through ahead of time.
16. They wear the correct undergarments.
Just like anything else, clothes need the right foundation. In the case of clothing and fashion, undergarments are the foundation. The right ones won’t show through your clothes or stick out.
Related Stories From YourTango:
17. They dress accordingly for the weather or occasion.
Someone who is fashionable is always dressed properly for the occasion and weather. Don’t wear a jacket or a sweater when it is too warm out.
18. They learn to accessorize the right way.
Accessories can make an outfit and really pull an outfit together.
19. They just choose one expensive piece.
Not everything has to be expensive, so instead, choose one expensive-looking piece. That means that it just has to look expensive, not be expensive. It can be a belt, shoes, purse, or jewelry.
20. They keep a "fashion emergency kit."
A fashionista always looks good and to do this, you have to be prepared for fashion emergencies. A kit like this can be small and include a Tide pen for cleaning up spills, safety pins, band-aids, and double stick tape. Of course, you can customize your kit for your needs.

South African left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj achieved a significant milestone on day four of the second Test against Bangladesh in Gqeberha. The 32-year old became the second Proteas spinner to take 150 Test wickets as the hosts demolished the Tigers. In the process, he also sent several other records tumbling.
Maharaj's 150th Test wicket was that of Bangladesh's No.10 batter Khaled Ahmed, who was trapped plumb. Before Maharaj, Hugh Tayfield, who played between 1949 and 1960, took 170 wickets in 37 games. Furthermore, Maharaj became the first bowler in the history of Test cricket to take a seven-wicket haul in the fourth innings of consecutive Tests.
Day four started with the Natal-born player dismissing Bangladesh keeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim for a single. Subsequently, Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj ran through the tourists' batting lineup as South Africa took the remaining seven wickets within an hour's play. The winning margin for the Proteas was a whopping 332 runs.
The 32-year old, who snared 16 wickets in the series at an average of 12.12, has the most wickets by a Proteas bowler against Bangladesh in a Test series. He expectedly earned the Player of the Series award for his exploits. With Harmer and Maharaj sharing all ten wickets in the fourth innings, it marked the first time since 1950 that two South African spinners ran through an opposition innings.
Keshav Maharaj top-scored for Proteas in first innings of second Test
The left-arm spinner also displayed his ability with the bat, making a career-best 84 in the first innings in Gqeberha to lift the hosts to 453. The veteran added 80 runs with Wiaan Mulder. He snapped a couple of wickets in the first innings to help the Proteas secure a 236-run lead and finish with a match haul of 36-9-97-9.
With the win, Dean Elgar & co. climbed to second spot in the ICC World Test Championship table, behind Australia. Bangladesh carried high hopes after winning the ODI series, but they couldn't replicate those exploits in red ball cricket.

Some GTA 5 missions allow gamers to make some extra millions in the game by cleverly playing the stock market. While this initially sounds pretty boring, completing Assassination Missions for Lester and taking advantage of shifts in the market makes for some exciting gameplay.
Players should be aware of this before starting the game, as it will help them make all three protagonists multi-millionaires by the end. Certain stocks are worth the investment surrounding these five particular missions.
This article hopes to inform GTA 5 players how to buy the best stocks in the game related to Lester's assassination missions.
How GTA 5 stock trading can be very lucrative
The video above is a walkthrough of the first GTA 5 assassin mission for Lester, where Franklin must kill the CEO of the Betta Pharmaceuticals company. Before doing the mission, each of the three protagonists should go online and invest all of their money in BET stocks on the stock market via their phones. Once this is done, Franklin should head to the location and make sure he has invested all his money too.
The GTA 5 Lester assassinations and their inherent bonuses are listed below:
- Hotel Assassination - Buy Betta Pharmaceuticals stock on BAWSAQ. After completing the mission, sell all stock for an 80% profit. Players can wait an extra three days and buy stock for Bilkington on LCN. This stock will bounce after a week or so, and players can make a further 80% profit.
- The Multi-Target Assassination - Players should purchase as much Debonaire stock as possible from LCN. After completing the mission, sell the stock for 80% profit and re-invest in Redwood Cigarettes. Again, players can wait up to a week to earn around 300% profit from selling their Redwood stock.
- The Vice Assassination - On BAWSAQ, players should buy as much iFruit stock as possible so that after the mission, they can sell it and make a tidy 50% profit.
- The Bus Assassination - On BAWSAQ, players need to invest their money in Vapid, ONLY AFTER they complete the mission. Waiting for two days will enable gamers to sell the Vapid stock for 100% profit.
- The Construction Assassination - This final assassination is nice and easy. By buying GoldCoast from LCN and then completing the job, players will be able to recoup the stock for 80% profit.
GTA 5 players will now be able to make the most of their stock market trading in the game. Trading in the stock market is essential if players plan on buying all properties in the game.

An interviewer asks Aldous Harding if she thinks her music is vulnerable. "Totally," she replies. "It's vulnerable in the sense that it can be rewound, fast-forwarded, stopped or deleted, not bought, criticized." When a journalist asks about vulnerability in art, usually the question is aimed at whether the artist feels disproportionately known. Does the music open a way into a private place that has now been amplified? Are the particularities of your life story suddenly out there for anyone to consume? Harding speaks to a different kind of vulnerability, not emotional but economic: The New Zealand artist makes records, and people could always decline to stream or purchase them, or tell each other to avoid what she's made.
This type of redirection, from typical question to atypical answer, threads much of her music. Across her past three albums — 2019's Designer, 2017's Party and her 2014 debut — Harding has eased from severe, guitar-based etchings into arch, sleight-of-hand chamber pop. She sings over instruments that, for the most part, engage with the human body directly, whose tones reverberate in actual space, far from the black box of synthesized sound. And yet, nearly everything else about her music cuts against the expectations this setting creates. Harding never sits us down to tell a story about something that has happened in her life, nor does she sketch out fictions in recognizable beats. Pop's usual terms of exchange, in which an identifiable "I" and "you" want things from each other, and negotiate via melodies that push them toward resolution or deeper conflict, are consistently sidelined.
On this year's Warm Chris, the vacancy she leaves by avoiding those conventions has its own gravity. Throughout the album (released March 25), her elastic singing voice stretches across scenes you can't quite see but can powerfully feel. There are people in there, though their movements are obscured; you're invited to listen in on their intimate exchanges, even if you're not sure who's who. To follow Harding into this uncanny world is to feel both held and adrift: safe in the company of a skilled navigator who won't tell you where we're going, or how she aims to take us there, or how close to the waterfall she plans on steering the boat.
Acoustic instruments prime us to believe we are about to hear the truth. Listen to an Aldous Harding song and you can piece together the objects that made each sound, envision the physical mechanics that activated them: A musician empties their lungs into a saxophone; another depresses the keys of a piano, which trigger tiny hammers to vibrate taut strings. You might fairly expect, then, to hear a continuous voice cutting through the mix, a single narrator guiding the way. Harding slips that trap. As each track on Warm Chris begins, she invokes a new character, with a slant in her voice. As soon as the song is done, she discards it and becomes someone else.
On "Fever," she sinks down into her lower register over a piano-snare one-two punch, savoring the creases that spider over her notes. For "Lawn," where bass notes pop like bubbles and the drums take on an aerated shuffle, she drifts up an octave into a whispery head voice, like she's telling a secret. Occasionally, she converses with herself. "Tick Tock" sees her toggling between two characters — one cool, composed and knowing, the other enthralled and giddy — sometimes within the space of a sentence.
Harding's art challenges the habits people use to relate to each other. Stories about who a person really is fall away here, irrelevant.
These oscillations derail a longstanding habit across popular music — the impulse to hear voice, especially a woman's, as a malleable substance onto which experience imprints, passively documenting a real self. In her 2019 book The Race of Sound, Nina Sun Eidsheim tracks the tendency of critics and historians to hear Billie Holiday's idiosyncratic vocal style as the direct result of her early life trauma. When listeners do this, Eidsheim writes, "the artist's skill is reduced to an expression of biographical circumstances." The idea of the sung voice as essence, something that inevitably tumbles out of a singer following feelings she can't fully control, shuts a performer's agency out of the frame. If Holiday is only venting story, the necessary implication is that she is not really writing it.
Certain timbres Harding uses set her in a lineage of other idiosyncratic performers. Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor surface as audible predecessors here, women using acoustic compositions as bedrock for the outgrowth of challenging vocal streaks. Both their voices are so stylized that they strain the critical impulse to hear voice as autobiographical record, and throughout the 2000s and 2010s, music writers lobbed questioning, diminishing language in response. A 2009 review of a Spektor concert rendered her music as "kooky urban sea shanties full of breathy babble and exaggerated glottal stops." In a 2015 essay for The Awl, Leah Finnegan collected the responses of male music critics to Newsom's voice, quoting phrases like "goofy young-girl singsong," "brave little coo" and "dying cat."
This language disparagingly orbits the phenomenon known as "indie girl voice" or "singing in cursive," a much-parodied vocal mode that crimps and elongates the vowels, and seemingly calls back to a simpler time before we were all on the computer. It's the voice whose jitteriness escapes the flattening algorithms of Auto-Tune, a newer and more frightening technology when Spektor and Newsom got their start, and gestures instead toward some elusive primordial authenticity. If Auto-Tuned voices were explicitly "fake," these tugs to a pre-digital sociality careened too far, for some listeners, to the other end of the spectrum — too outrageous to be explained by autobiographical imprint, and thus calculated, affected, made up.
Like Kate Bush before them, Newsom and Spektor do not often write confessionally. They prefer to catapult their voices along storytelling at the scale of myth, singing with the swing of history. Bush is as likely to be Catherine from Wuthering Heights or Wilhelm Reich's terrified son as she is to sing as herself. Spektor enters the biblical story of Samson and Delilah to extract a feeling of cold and delicate intimacy. Newsom sings about love not as any particular tie between her and a second person, but as the activating force behind all activity on earth. Their voices make characters, and by embodying characters, they are freer to sing beyond themselves. "I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers," Spektor told NPR in 2006. "Who the hell wants to be themselves all the time? It's so boring."
In 2020, Harding shared a similar sentiment. "Do you feel that you're able to be fully yourself, to be honest, in your music?" asked Cheryl Waters on KEXP. "No! It's impossible to tell the truth and be honest," said Harding. "It's a version of the truth. I have good intentions. But it's certainly not the whole. I don't think anyone's ever able to give the absolute truth. I've never seen it, anyway."
Try to pin the lyrics on Warm Chris to clear, perceivable stories and you'll come up empty. Instead, Harding offers a variety of tethers between unnamed and unfixable characters. There might be a passing mention of a spouse or a friend or an exciting stranger. Maybe the song's speaker and her companion are in a defined place, like a hotel lobby or the botanic gardens in Wellington; maybe their only container is the electric charge between them.
Her context-collapsed music opens and envelops the ear, inviting it to make sense of the vacuum — and the ear finds that there is little sense to make, only intermittent pulses of warmth. On her album's title track, she sounds much older than she is: "Oh, Crystal / I got the love for you now / Not that you need it, eh, girl?" she sings with a wink on her voice. She reads almost grandmotherly, secure in her unnecessary love, radiating it without fear of its rejection or hope of its return. The "I" and the "you" never settle into recognizable roles; Harding only hints at their possibilities with twists of voice and careful pacing, nudging you to lean a little closer than you might for songs that paint their drama on the surface.
If Holiday's voice conferred a sense of authenticity, and Spektor and Newsom's strained it, Harding's voices do away with the question altogether. Her songs are not opportunities to know her, not portals to a rarified inner world, but a series of meeting places. They are stages where she can ask: Who are we if not what we are to each other? And doesn't that mean we're always in flux?
Her music videos, confounding as the songs themselves, carry these questions as well. She is a skillful screen actor who understands the power of small movements, how a pinch of the facial muscles or an understated dance move can be more compelling than the format's typical flash-bang. When she appears on camera, she tends to fix the viewer in an unflinching gaze. It can feel confrontational almost to the point of awkwardness, as if you were suddenly the one being seen.
But Harding takes the awkward moment as threshold, and moves past it into a subtle, welcoming space. The video for Designer's "The Barrel" presents an infinitely unfurling gallery of minuscule gestures that transforms at the end into unselfconscious full-body play. The video for the non-album track "Old Peel" stages a typical bar performance, but swaps Harding for her frequent collaborator Martin Sagadin at the mic. While the rest of the band dutifully and politely performs with an approachable amount of feeling, Sagadin dances exaggeratedly, only occasionally remembering to lip-sync to the vocal track. In the closing shots, Sagadin walks through a tunnel while Harding hitches a ride on their back, the singer and her avatar both ejecting themselves from the performance expected from them, heading somewhere else.
Harding's art challenges the habits people use to relate to each other. Stories about who a person really is, those ones that are supposed to be recorded and relayed in an authentic voice, fall away here, irrelevant, as the artist asks us to drop our scripts and plunge into the unsheltered moment. It can look frightening from the outside, this place with no scaffold, but on the inside it's just a site of play — a chance to make it up on the spot in generous collaboration with whoever else is in there, to lose the constraints of individuation and spark something new.
Warm Chris abounds with invitations to that place. The album confronts and disarms. It's funny in that way, as in comic, as in: Absent rules, you can't help but laugh — not at the music, but at what it's melted around you, what you thought you couldn't put down but now feel freer without. You see someone moving in a way you thought wasn't allowed, hear her vocalizing in ways that don't track with what voice is supposed to do, and suddenly you're included in the permission she's granted herself. Suddenly, in your own body, you share her smiling ease.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Jennifer Weeks, The Conversation
(THE CONVERSATION) The latest reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change show that to avoid massive losses and damage from global warming, nations must act quickly to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The good news is that experts believe it’s possible to cut global greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 through steps such as using energy more efficiently, slowing deforestation and speeding up the adoption of renewable energy.
Many of those strategies require new laws, regulations or funding to move forward at the speed and scale that’s needed. But one strategy that’s increasingly feasible for many consumers is powering their homes and devices with electricity from clean sources. These four articles from our archives explain why electrifying homes is an important climate strategy and how consumers can get started.
1. Why go electric?
As of 2020, home energy use accounted for about one-sixth of total U.S. energy consumption. Nearly half (47%) of this energy came from electricity, followed by natural gas (42%), oil (8%) and renewable energy (7%). By far the largest home energy use is for heating and air conditioning, followed by lighting, refrigerators and other appliances.
The most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from home energy consumption is to substitute electricity generated from low- and zero-carbon sources for oil and natural gas. And the power sector is rapidly moving that way: As a 2021 report from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory showed, power producers have reduced their carbon emissions by 50% from what energy experts predicted in 2005.
“This drop happened thanks to policy, market and technology drivers,” a team of Lawrence Berkeley lab analysts concluded. Wind and solar power have scaled up and cut their costs, so utilities are using more of them. Cheap natural gas has replaced generation from dirtier coal. And public policies have encouraged the use of energy-efficient technologies like LED light bulbs. These converging trends make electric power an increasingly climate-friendly energy choice.
2. Heat pumps for cold and hot days
Since heating and cooling use so much energy, switching from an oil- or gas-powered furnace to a heat pump can greatly reduce a home’s carbon footprint. As University of Dayton sustainability expert Robert Brecha explains, heat pumps work by moving heat in and out of buildings, not by burning fossil fuel.
“Extremely cold fluid circulates through coils of tubing in the heat pump’s outdoor unit,” Brecha writes. “That fluid absorbs energy in the form of heat from the surrounding air, which is warmer than the fluid. The fluid vaporizes and then circulates into a compressor. Compressing any gas heats it up, so this process generates heat. Then the vapor moves through coils of tubing in the indoor unit of the heat pump, heating the building.”
In summer, the process reverses: Heat pumps take energy from indoors and move that heat outdoors, just as a refrigerator removes heat from the chamber where it stores food and expels it into the air in the room where it sits.
Another option is a geothermal heat pump, which collects warmth from the earth and uses the same process as air source heat pumps to move it into buildings. These systems cost more, since installing them involves excavation to bury tubing below ground, but they also reduce electricity use.
3. Cooking without gas – or heat
For people who like to cook, the biggest sticking point of going electric is the prospect of using an electric stove. Many home chefs see gas flames as more responsive and precise than electric burners.
But magnetic induction, which cooks food by generating a magnetic field under the pot, eliminates the need to fire up a burner altogether.
“Instead of conventional burners, the cooking spots on induction cooktops are called hobs, and consist of wire coils embedded in the cooktop’s surface,” writes Binghamton University electrical engineering professor Kenneth McLeod.
Moving an electric charge through those wires creates a magnetic field, which in turn creates an electric field in the bottom of the cookware. “Because of resistance, the pan will heat up, even though the hob does not,” McLeod explains.
Induction cooktops warm up and cool down very quickly and offer highly accurate temperature control. They also are easy to clean, since they are made of glass, and safer than electric stoves since the hobs don’t stay hot when pans are lifted off them. Many utilities are offering rebates to cover the higher cost of induction cooktops.
4. Electric cars as backup power sources
Electrifying systems like home heating and cooking made residents even more vulnerable to power outages. Soon, however, a new backup system could become available: powering your home from your electric vehicle.
With interest in electric cars and light trucks rising in the U.S., auto makers are introducing many new EV models and designs. Some of these new rides will offer bidirectional charging – the ability to charge a car battery at home, then move that power back into the house, and eventually, into the grid.
[Over 150,000 readers rely on The Conversation’s newsletters to understand the world. Sign up today.]
Only a few models offer this capacity now, and it requires special equipment that can add several thousand dollars to the price of an EV. But Penn State energy expert Seth Blumsack sees value in this emerging technology.
“Enabling homeowners to use their vehicles as backup when the power goes down would reduce the social impacts of large-scale blackouts. It also would give utilities more time to restore service – especially when there is substantial damage to power poles and wires,” Blumsack explains. “Bidirectional charging is also an integral part of a broader vision for a next-generation electric grid in which millions of EVs are constantly taking power from the grid and giving it back – a key element of an electrified future.”

A dramatic video footage has emerged that shows a Ukrainian soldier using a British-made missile to blast a Russian drone before flipping the bird at it. As he destroys the drone, other Ukrainian soldiers can be heard cheering. This comes as Russian tanks and armored vehicles continue to be ambushed by Ukrainian forces.
Vladimir Putin's forces have already suffered enough setback with reports of over 19,000 soldiers being killed since Russia attacked Ukraine on Feb 25. There are also reports of other Russian drones being shot down by Ukrainian forces over the weekend. That however, hasn't stopped the Russian air force from continuously shelling Ukrainian cities.
Ukraine Showing Its Valor
The dramatic new video shows a Ukrainian soldier firing the Brit-made Starstreak missile against a Russian Orion drone. The soldier sees a drone approaching and points the missile at it and then charges the missile before flipping the bird at it.
The missile then goes in to hit the drone, completely destroying it. After he shoots down the weapon, his fellow soldiers can be heard rejoicing. He can also be seen raising his middle finger to the sky in celebration.
Soldier Yuriy Kochevenko uploaded the video, thanking Britain for the missile system and claiming that Ukraine makes effective use of "allies' help."
Ukraine has thanked all the countries that have been helping them by supplying arms and ammunitions to fight against the mighty Russian. "Successful combat use of Starstreak MANPADS in the Ukrainian-Russian war. Air Defense #95ÐÐШÐÑ destroyed the Russian UAV Orlan, This is the greeting of Ukrainian paratroopers Boris Johnson. Thank you Britain," wrote Kochevenko.
"We use the support of allies effectively. Give more. For our freedom and yours!"
Russia Continues to Suffer Losses
It comes after the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said on Facebook that Ukrainian fighters used the Starstreak missile system to shoot down another Russian Orlan-10 drone.
Russian's have been constantly suffering losses at the hands of the Ukrainians as the battled entered its 48th day. In Kharkiv region, the air defense unit of a separate airborne assault brigade with British-made MANPADS 'Starstreak' successfully destroyed another Russian UAV 'Orlan-10'," read his message.
Earlier this month, Ukraine used the same British missile to take down a Russian helicopter. A dramatic video footage showed the moment the Mi-28N was hit by the Starstreak in the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine.
Putin's tank regiment also has been suffering massive losses as Ukrainians have now destroyed scores of them. Several video footages have emerged online that show Ukrainian soldiers attacking Russian tanks as Putin's forces run for their lives.
A Number of videos have emerged on social media over the weekend that shows Russian soldiers fleeing and their tanks being destroyed by Ukrainian forces. In one video, two multi-purpose trucks are seen parked next to a tree line in an open field before two missiles explode nearby.
As the smoke clears, a group of about a dozen men can be seen fleeing up the road as other strikes hit the area, sending massive plumes of smoke skyward.
Last week, spectacular footage from Chernihiv Oblast captured the moment a Russian tank was blown up by a missile. On-board ammunition is believed to have caught fire, causing a massive cloud of smoke to rise into the sky.

Kevin De Bruyne is a man who believed his side deserved more. The star player felt his side did enough to win and as such this was a bit of a wasted one. City drew Liverpool 2-2 and Kevin knows his team played well. Let’s check out his comments-
“It was hard. I think we played excellent,” he reflected. “The way we played today was very good and we should have scored more.
“It is what it is and we keep going. We spoke before that the quality and intensity is there. It showed today. It was a great game.
“It should have been more [at halftime] but we were still winning. The way the second half started that’s the disappointment. We know in a couple of chances Liverpool can score. I think we played great, we created enough chances to win the game today, but it didn’t happen.
“Riyad [Mahrez] chose to chip the keeper, if it goes in it’s a wonder goal but it didn’t go in today and that can happen.
“I think we played very well and had the upper hand today, but we didn’t win, this is the way we need to play for the rest of the games.”
“I know a lot of people said that whoever wins today gets the title, but I don’t think either team thinks that way. It’s way too hard.
“The schedule is way too tough for both teams to win all the remaining games until the end of season, we’re going to try but the way we played today is the way we need to move forward.”
He’s 100% right as City could have scored two to three more and really put the red side out of depth, but alas it was not meant to be as we will see a tight race all the way to the end.
Time will tell. City are still top for now.

Battered Luckin Coffee emerges from bankruptcy proceedings
Luckin Coffee Inc, said on Monday it had emerged from bankruptcy proceedings, two years after an accounting fraud derailed the coffee chain's business.
Founded in 2017, Xiamen-based Luckin had positioned itself as a homegrown challenger to U.S. coffee giant Starbucks Corp, but the much-hyped company almost collapsed in 2020 after findings that about 2.2 billion yuan ($337.31 million) in 2019 sales was fabricated.
Top management changes and hundreds of millions of dollars in fines later, Luckin said it had restructured its financial indebtedness in the United States and was now positioned for sustainable growth and profitability.
In March, Luckin reported a near 81per cent jump in quarterly revenue and operating losses of about 120.8 million renminbi ($19.0 million).

ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) — One of the two workers shot last week by a former employee at a South Carolina industrial plant has died, authorities said.
Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said 24-year-old Iain Samuel Pearce of Belton, South Carolina died Sunday after he and another employee at the Fraenkische plant in Anderson County were shot Tuesday. Pearce was shot in the head, according to Shore. The other employee was wounded.
Sheriff Chad McBride previously said about 30 employees were in the plant the time of the shooting. The workers fled to a nearby business, McBride said.
Bruce D. Vandermosten Jr., 51, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was a former employee at the plant, Shore said.
Investigators still have not said why Vandermosten came to his former business. McBride said he did not appear to intentionally pick out either victim.
Fraenkische is a German company that makes pipes and has about two dozen locations around the world.

Al Pacino has unwittingly managed to break the internet with his choice of a phone case.
The Godfather actor, 81, sent fans into a spin after he enjoyed a low-key dinner with Jason Momoa, who shared a snap of their evening on Instagram.
‘Amazing night @pacegallery Julian Schnabel’s – for ESME’ with Love and Squalor so thankful to enjoy dinner with legends. all my aloha j,’ he captioned the uploads.
While we were all living for their casual night out, eagle-eyed fans on social media took the opportunity to zoom in on the snap, unveiling the Hollywood legend’s cover – with what seemed to be a photo of Shrek.
Yes, seriously.
Social media producer Marie Bardi couldn’t get enough of the picture, penning on Twitter: ‘Al’s headphones continue to be iconic, but I need a full investigation on whatever the f**k is supposed to be on his iPhone case.’
Shortly after, Marie found a similar-looking case of the glorious green ogre available for $12.95 (£9.94) on Amazon, uploading a screenshot with the message: ‘OH MY GOD’.
Right on cue, Twitter went into meltdown at the information as Al Pacino began trending on the social media platform.
A user commented: ‘God bless Al Pacino and his Shrek iPhone case.’
Another yelled: ‘JUST FOUND OUT AL PACINO HAS SHREK PHONE CASE OHMYGOD?!?!?!?’
‘Al Pacino has a Shrek phone case one more reason as to why he’s a legend,’ one wrote.
‘Petition for make another Shrek movie but all the characters are voiced by Al Pacino,’ a fan suggested.
A follower went the extra mile and appeared to message Al’s daughter, Olivia, on Instagram, desperate for clarification.
In a screenshot of the DM, they asked: ‘Hi Olivia, sorry for the random question but there’s a bunch of people (including me) going crazy on Twitter because they saw a picture of Al in which it seems he has a Shrek phone case?
‘Is that possible? Because that would be iconic lmao anyway have a nice day :).’
A person appearing to be Olivia settled the debate, replying: ‘Yes it is hahah!!’
Hopefully now we can get the Godfather / Shrek crossover we need and deserve.

Thank you
As many of you know, I recently celebrated my 90th birthday at a gathering held at the Kensington Hotel Saipan on April 2, 2022. I thank the Lord for blessing me with a long, happy, and healthy life. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to family and friends here on Saipan and around the world for all your good wishes that I received.
I also want to acknowledge everyone who joined my celebration last week, but please forgive me if I miss anyone—we can all blame that on my age!
I would like to thank the Most Reverend Bishop Ryan Jimenez, Rev. Father James Balajadia, Rev. Deacon and Mrs. Jeffrey Camacho for gracing us with your presence at our gathering last week.
I also want to thank and acknowledge all the families who share common family roots with me—the Sablans, Palacios, Semans, Villagomez, Igitols and Pangelinans. Also, thank you to my wife, Rita’s, family, the Castros and Weavers. Thank you to all the Joeten, Aldan, Pierce, Duenas and Pixley families who joined the festivities! And to all my close friends who celebrated with me and my family, thank you!
I was pleasantly surprised with the commemorative resolutions from our CNMI Senate and House of Representatives. Thank you, Speaker Edmund Villagomez, vice speaker BJ Attao and Sen. Edith De Leon Guerrero for your kind words and beautiful presentations. I was also honored by the presence of our Lt. Gov. Arnold and Mrs. Palacios, but of course he had to come, being my nephew on the Palacios side!
I must also thank Congressman Gregorio Kilili and Mrs. Andrea Sablan for the gift of memorializing the leadership and history of my father, Elias Parong Sablan, in the Congressional Record on Covenant Day, March 24, 2022. It is very much appreciated.
I pray that God will bless each and everyone of you with the same long life, happiness and success bestowed upon me for the last 90 years and hopefully more to come!
David “Uncle Dave” M. Sablan
Papago, Saipan

E-Levy, Transfers between accounts owned by the same person up to GH¢100 exempt
No distinction on MOMO made in E-Levy Bill
Link your Ghana card to all your account, GRA advises
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has noted that the E-Levy bill has some anomalies that need to be addressed before its implementation in May.
According to the Authority, one of such is the non-distinction between MOMO accounts.
It stated that there is no distinction between a corporate Mobile money account and a personal Mobile money account.
Speaking in a JoyNews interview, Principal Revenue Officer and Head of the Project Management Unit for GRA, Isaac Kobina Amoako, stated that the concerns have been directed to the Finance Ministry to be addressed.
“That is something that has come to our attention; we’ve referred it to our superiors to look at it. But, for now, the law seems to have captured everybody, including disbursements from corporate mobile accounts. In fact, for the banks, the disbursements from corporate accounts were not mentioned, so it is clear that that is exempt.
“But in the MoMo, there was no distinction between a corporate MoMo account and individual MoMo account; so, that is where we’ve received some kind of feedback from the public that it will affect salaries, loan disbursements, and so many other things, which we’ve referred to the [Finance] Ministry,” he said.
Meanwhile, Head of Compliance at the Domestic Tax Unit, Victor Yao Akogo, detailed some exemptions that will characterize the operation of the electronic transfer levy.
“A transfer between accounts owned by the same person; I have a Fidelity account, and I transfer money to my GCB account where I am doing the transfer, E-Levy will not apply. If I transfer to my Ecobank account, my Prudential bank account, and my CBG account, E-Levy will not apply."
“We have a unique identifier, the Ghana Card, and that is what we are going to use. There are some people who have used their passport to register their account; we are saying that for you to qualify for the exemption."
“So, there is the need to let your Ghana Card be linked to all your accounts so that it will be the unique identifier of you everywhere so that you can enjoy the exemption,” he stated.
However the GRA has announced that the implementation of the E-Levy will begin on May 1, 2022.

Google-owned Fitbit gets US FDA approval for AFib detection
By IANS | Published: April 11, 2022 07:09 PM2022-04-11T19:09:03+5:302022-04-11T19:20:07+5:30
San Francisco, April 11 Google-owned wearable brand Fitbit on Monday received clearance from the US Food and Drug ...
San Francisco, April 11 Google-owned wearable brand Fitbit on Monday received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its new health feature that can detect atrial fibrillation (AFib) a health tool that made Apple Watch highly popular and which has saved several lives in the past.
AFib is a form of irregular heart rhythm that affects nearly 33.5 million people globally, and individuals with AFib have five times higher risk of stroke.
"Our new PPG AFib algorithm can passively assess your heart rhythm in the background while you're still or asleep. If there's anything that might be suggestive of AFib, you'll be notified through our Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications feature," Google said in a statement.
The Fitbit PPG-based algorithm and Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications feature will soon be available to consumers in the US across a range of heart-rate enabled devices.
The clinical validation for Fitbit's PPG algorithm is supported by data from the landmark Fitbit Heart Study, which launched in 2020 and enrolled 455,699 participants over five months, informed Google.
Data presented at the 2021 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions found that the Fitbit PPG detections correctly identified AFib episodes 98 per cent of the time, as confirmed by ECG patch monitors.
"The unique capabilities of Fitbit devices especially its 24/7 heart rate tracking and long battery life - give it the potential to accelerate identification through long-term heart rhythm assessment," said Google.
Now, Fitbit's ECG app, which takes a spot-check approach, allows you to proactively screen yourself for possible AFib and record an ECG trace that you can then review with a healthcare provider.
While, the new PPG-based algorithm allows for long-term heart rhythm assessment that helps identify asymptomatic AFib that could otherwise go undetected, Google said.

Maurice Kirya will not go ahead with his Uganda Musicians Association presidential bid after withdrawing from the nominations process over a couple of reasons.
Last week, Bebe Cool fronted Maurice Kirya’s name as the candidate he wanted to nominate in the UMA presidential race.
Bebe who had earlier trashed King Saha’s bid, noted that Kirya was the perfect choice due to his exposure, literacy, good conduct, and discipline, among other qualities.

The self-styled King of Mwooyo received the proposal positively and decided to join the race which already had Cindy Sanyu, Kinga Saha, Daddy Andre, among other potential candidates.
On Sunday, however, Maurice Kirya revealed that he had chosen to withdraw from the race.
Through social media, Kirya noted that he failed to book an early flight back to Uganda on Monday 11th April 2022 which is the official date for the UMA nominations process.
He, however, pledged to continue working for the industry and supporting whichever president will be voted into the office.
To my fellow Ugandan musicians, my interest in joining the race for UMA President has regrettably come a little too late for my team and I as stupilated by UMA Electoral Commission guidelines.
I’m out of the country (Uganda) and thought I would act quick and get back ready for tomorrow’s (Monday) nomination process but unfortunately due to Covid-19 protocols, it hasn’t been possible. I can’t have an early flight as earlier projected.
Therefore, it’s with a heavy heart that I have decided to withdraw my application for the UMA Presidency because I would have preferred to represent myself, to listen to my fellow artists and fellow candidates in person.
I will however continue working with artists and contribute to the development of our Ugandan music industry as I always have.
I look forward to working with whoever will be our new UMA President and from the bottom of my heart, I wish them a good term in office.
Maurice Kirya

The brave Moscow broadcaster who staged a live on-set protest of Russia’s war on Ukraine has a new job with German newspaper Die Welt, which ran her first front-page report Monday.
Marina Ovsyannikova, 43, “is now a freelance correspondent for Die Welt, reporting from Ukraine and Russia, among other places,” the newspaper said in a statement to Agence France-Presse.
The defiant journalist — who ran onto the set of Russia’s main state news broadcaster carrying signs including “NO WAR” — will write for the paper as well as be a regular contributor to its TV channel, the company said.
Die Welt’s editor-in-chief, Ulf Poschardt, praised Ovsyannikova’s “courage at a decisive moment,” saying she had “defended the most important journalistic virtues — despite the threat of state repression.”
The paper heralded its new hiring with a front-page photo of Ovsyannikova alongside her first column.
The paper noted how her protests against the war changed her life, with her column explaining “why she had to take this step and what triggers the Kremlin’s propaganda in the population.”
In it, she detailed how she has been damned as a traitor in her homeland — while Ukrainians remain suspicious, calling her a Russian spy.
Ovsyannikova was an editor at Russia’s Channel One television when she barged onto the set of its flagship “Vremya” (“Time”) evening news in March holding a poster reading “No War” in English.
She was detained and questioned for 14 hours before being released and ordered to pay a $280 fine.
She could still face further prosecution, risking years in prison under draconian new laws banning news reports that defy the Kremlin’s pretense that it is not at war or targeting civilians.
Ovsyannikova said Die Welt “stands for what is being defended so vehemently by the courageous people on the ground in Ukraine right now: for freedom.”
“I see it as my task as a journalist to stand up for this freedom,” she said, according to AFP.

Vincent: Hospices, properly funded, can save health-care dollars for Ontario
Hospices offer compassionate palliative care to patients that is much less costly to the health-care system than hospitals and at the same time helps free up hospital beds.
Article content
Provincial and territorial governments are grappling with escalating health-care costs and strained resources. In Ontario, politicians were trying to figure out how to deal with a health-care system that was under pressure even before COVID-19. As doctors closely involved in palliative care, we are convinced that hospice care is one key way to address rising costs and a capacity crunch that is seeing an increasing number of patients cared for in hospital hallways.

Why hospice care?
First and foremost, there is a strong ethical imperative to adequately fund the provision of top-quality care for those facing their end-of-life journey, as well as grief and bereavement care for their loved ones. Hospices provide such care, at no cost to patients and families.
The Canadian Institute for Health Information reports that about 60 per cent of Canadians die in hospital — an impersonal setting where most people do not want to spend their last days. Furthermore, hospices offer compassionate palliative care to patients that is much less costly to the health-care system than hospitals and at the same time helps free up hospital beds. Ontario’s auditor general has estimated that the daily cost of a hospice bed is about one-third of an acute care hospital bed. Hospice Care Ottawa (HCO) estimates that its 21 beds save the province about $4.4 million. Yet despite this economic advantage, hospices are struggling to survive.

HCO operates two hospice residences in Ottawa — the May Court site in old Ottawa South with nine beds, and Hein House at the Ruddy Shenkman site in Kanata with 12 beds — as well as community outreach programs at both sites and in Orléans. HCO has long wanted to open a third hospice in east Ottawa to help serve the francophone population in the National Capital Region, but simply does not have the financial resources to do so.
The provincial government only pays about 60 per cent of the clinical costs of care at hospice, leaving HCO on the hook to fundraise more than $2.2 million each year just to keep the doors open and the lights on. Residential hospices remain the one part of the health-care system where fundraising is necessary to pay nurses and personal support workers.

Article content
Due to the dire financial situation threatening the existence of hospice care in Ottawa, the province provided one-time funding last year. Now is the time to make a permanent change to the funding formula.
With budget planning underway in Ontario, HCO and Hospice Palliative Care Ontario are asking the government to increase its support from the current 60 per cent of clinical costs to 100 per cent, as it does for hospitals. This would mean that the province would invest $43 million this year or about $735,000 more for Hospice Care Ottawa. The result would be a robust Ontario hospice system that would not just survive but thrive.
This funding change would likely save money in other health-care costs.
The COVID pandemic has focused our attention on how we treat people at end-of-life. In our work, we are constantly told how patients and family members deeply cherish the delivery of first-class hospice palliative care. Enhanced funding for hospices is a small part of the equation toward a better health-care future for Ontario.
Dr. Dan Vincent, MD CCFP PC, EM, FRCPC is the medical director of Hospice Care Ottawa. The following palliative care physicians also contributed to this article: Khadija Bhimji, MSc, MD, FRCPC; Melini Gupta, MD, CCFP PC; Rob Cushman, MD, FRCP, MBA; Colby Burns, MD, CCFP; Sarah Tuck, MD, CCFP; Tania Zakhem, MD, CCFP; Regina Krechowicz MD, CCFP PC; Katerina Spacek MD, CCFP PC.

Once And For All: Do Parents Cause Eating Disorders?
And what does it mean if we can’t prevent them?
"It's not the media or skinny, out-of-proportion Barbie dolls or even peer pressure that is the No. 1 cause of body issues for young girls. It's their mothers." —USA Today, 2013
Not long after the American public learned about eating disorders in the 1970s, we also learned that parents — mothers specifically — cause them. In 1978, German psychologist Hilde Bruch, still considered a pioneer in the treatment of anorexia, published the book The Golden Cage, in which she theorized that the condition was caused by mothers so controlling that they didn’t allow their daughters to develop a separate sense of self. The idea that a particular maternal style triggered eating disorders spread quickly; the title of a scholarly article published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 1983 was “Varieties of parenting failure in anorexia nervosa.”
By the late ‘90s, the narrative had evolved to suggest that parents negatively impact their children’s eating not through emotional enmeshment but through their own attitudes about food and weight. Today many mothers are still hyper-aware of everything they say about food and their bodies within earshot of their children. That’s probably a good thing for these women’s body image and well-being as much as for their kids’. But is it preventing eating disorders?
As it turns out, there is no evidence that parental behavior causes eating disorders. “Parent[s] have been blamed for eating disorders erroneously for decades,” Cynthia Bulik, Ph.D., founding director of the University of North Carolina Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders, told me over email. New evidence has emerged over the last two decades about what causes a person to develop eating disorders. Most striking was the discovery that genetics account for somewhere between 40 and 60% of one’s likelihood to develop an eating disorder.
Eight genetic markers associated with anorexia nervosa were identified in 2019 by Bulik, probably the world’s pre-eminent eating disorder researcher, and her team, who are now working to do the same for other eating disorders including bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). Their findings reinforced scientifically what clinicians who treat eating disorders have observed anecdotally in patients’ family histories for years: eating disorders are moderately to highly heritable. Sometimes a patient has a parent with an eating disorder, but it can easily be a cousin or an aunt.
What if most parents who feel desperate to save their children from the pain of an eating disorder are actually desperate to protect them from the effects of diet culture?
In contrast, researchers haven’t found any evidence that parenting style or parental behavior causes eating disorders, and not because they haven’t looked. “There has been a lot of research looking at the causes of eating disorders,” says Aileen Whyte, Ph.D., a clinical assistant professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, who treats eating disorders using Family Based Treatment, a leading, evidence-based approach that deputizes parents to lead their children’s recovery.
In one sense, this is good news for parents, and mothers especially (finally, one thing is not our fault!). But many mothers I know, especially those who have struggled with food, weight, or body image themselves, want one thing for their children above all the other things: for them not to have an eating disorder. Even if we don’t cause them, it feels imperative to prevent them — thus the multitude of articles on the internet about how to do just that. “Set a good example.” “Eat dinner as a family.” “Do not talk about your dieting,” instructs a 2007 article in Today’s Dietitian. “Model good eating,” a parenting site directs, as though we all know and agree on what that means.
The advice in those articles is “perfectly sensible,” Whyte says, but following it will not prevent your kid from developing an eating disorder, and it can make parents of kids with eating disorders feel like they didn’t do enough when, as Whyte puts it, “We just don't know that it's anything parents do."
Whether you find this information comforting or distressing, it’s complicated by the fact that many coaches who work with adults with disordered eating say parents absolutely shaped their patients’ attitudes and behaviors around food — most often by shaming larger bodies (their own, their child’s, or other people’s) or by restricting their child’s food intake. “The vast majority [of my clients] were exposed either to their own parents’ dieting and or to their own parents commenting on their food behaviors and their bodies. Even if the comments weren't directed to them, [they] remember their parents talking about other bodies, larger bodies, in a negative way,” says Alissa Rumsey, a New York City-based intuitive eating coach. “To say that encouraging your kids to diet, and all of these things that lots of parents are doing, have no impact on whether or not they will develop or be predisposed to eating disorders, is just completely blind,” agrees Isabel Foxen Duke, a San Francisco-based body image coach who has written about being put on a diet by her own mother when she was a child. “It’s denial.”
Like Bulik and Whyte, the coaches don’t blame parents. Instead, both Rumsey and Duke point to “diet culture,” a term many anti-diet activists use to describe a society-wide obsession with weight loss, to the point that it is viewed as a constant goal and as a solution to unrelated problems. According to Christy Harrison, a Brooklyn-based eating disorder dietitian, podcaster, and author of the book Anti-Diet, it’s the result of the convergence of multiple forces over the past century, most recently the massively popular fad diets of the 1970s through 2000s that made people terrified of fat, then carbs; the panic over obesity rates, especially in children; the wellness industry’s subtle (and not-so-subtle) equation of thinness and restrictive eating with health; and the ongoing and increasing stigmatization of fat people.
"What we can model is the difference between disordered eating and eating we don't have to overthink.”
Given the reach of diet culture, a parent putting a child on a diet probably isn’t trying to harm them, Duke says. “It's not like women are thinking out of nowhere, 'Maybe it would be fun to restrict my kid's food.'" Instead, they may be trying to teach them how to maintain a thin body and thus protect them from the many penalties imposed on those who are fat. Still, how could restricting your kid’s eating not warp their long-term attitudes toward food?
People with all sorts of challenging upbringings do not develop eating disorders, Bulik points out. If any childhood event (trauma, for example) were to make it more likely that someone with a genetic predisposition develops an eating disorder, that could happen through epigenetics, the phenomenon by which environmental factors can influence the expression of genes. Bulik underscores that research on epigenetics and eating disorders is still in early stages, but she is optimistic that it might help us understand how culture and genetics interact among the many factors that contribute to eating disorders.
Clinicians have long observed that eating disorders are often preceded by a diet, or at least a “negative energy balance” where the patient is taking in fewer calories than they are expending. If research were to reveal that these deficits activate certain genes linked to anorexia, Bulik says, “then we could argue that the reason dieting happened in the first place was due to cultural factors” — e.g., diet culture, in and outside the home.
Even if that turns out to be true, and your behavior plays some role in triggering one eating disorder gene in your child, your kid isn’t guaranteed to have an eating disorder. "Genetic risk lies on a continuum — so a person can have high or low genetic risk,” Bulik says. “Someone with high genetic risk might only need (for example) a little push from society (like one diet) in order to develop an ED; whereas someone with low genetic risk might require a much more forceful push (multiple diets, teasing, bullying, abusive experiences).”
What if most parents who feel desperate to save their children from the pain of an eating disorder are actually desperate to protect them from the effects of diet culture? Nine percent of Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime, but many more spend a lifetime struggling with self-loathing and a fear of food brought on by the pressure to lose weight or stay thin. Maybe that pain, and behaviors associated with it, are what concerned parents are actually trying to spare their kids.
If that’s true for you, experts say there are ways to dial back your participation in diet culture, if you’re willing to ditch some of the most entrenched ideas around feeding your kids. Here are some steps you can take:
Stop performing “healthy eating.”
It sounds like heresy to tell people to stop worrying so much about “healthy eating,” but when parents say they want to model a healthy diet, Emma Wright, an anti-diet parenting coach in New Zealand, asks them what they mean by “healthy.” “What are we considering 'healthy eating'? If you sit 10 dietitians down, they will not be able to agree.'" The lack of consensus around what exactly constitutes “healthy eating” does not mean you and your family should eat unlimited processed food and candy; it’s a reminder that when we decide that some foods are “healthy” and others are “unhealthy,” those labels are subjective, and using them has not improved our overall quality of life. Instead, it has had the opposite effect.
Wright advises an approach to feeding kids that contrasts virtually all food marketing and packaging, not to mention recent public health campaigns: don’t think too much about the nutrition content of specific foods — for yourself or your kids. When planning meals, go for variety, try to represent the major food groups, and then focus on the actual food as little as possible, Wright says. "What we can model is the difference between disordered eating ... and eating we don't have to overthink.”
Aim to raise a competent eater.
“All parents want their child to be a ‘healthy eater,’ but the problem is that the word ‘healthy’ has been reduced or diminished to mean not eating certain foods,” says Carol Danaher, a registered dietician and faculty member at the Ellyn Satter Institute. Instead, go for what the Satter Institute terms "competent eating." A child who is a competent eater:
- Will try some new foods (though they may still be “picky”; picky eaters can still be competent eaters).
- Can come to the table willingly.
- Listens to their internal cues around hunger and fullness.
- May eat a lot at one meal and not much at the next.
- Enjoys the context of the meal — the company, conversation, setting, and/or occasion.
If you recognize the Satter name, it’s probably because she is known for developing an increasingly popular approach to feeding called Division of Responsibility: the parent’s role is to choose what to serve when, while the child decides whether to eat it, and if so, how much. According to recent research, feeding your kids this way is associated with higher eating competence.
Never restrict a child’s food, even if they gain a significant amount of weight.
In a world where overweight kids are almost automatically judged, bullied, and excluded, having an overweight child can arouse a whole range of emotions in parents. Still, it’s imperative to resist the urge to control your kid’s food, Wright says. Withholding food leads to binging, hiding food, or both. “We can't make our child a certain size, as much as we might like to. We can't make them a sexual orientation, we can't make them have certain abilities, even though some of the things kids are makes life more painful. We want to protect them, and we can’t.”
Don’t refer to specific foods as “bad,” “junk,” “sinful,” “trashy,” or as being indicative of poor self-discipline. "It's very hard to help your child have a healthy relationship with food when you're demonizing food," Wright notes.
Embrace all body types.
If you want kids to be aware of and comfortable with different body types, make sure those body types are visible and not stigmatized, says Lauren Mulheim, Psy.D., an eating disorder psychologist in private practice in Los Angeles. That includes the people in your life, the media you consume, and the images around your house.
Don’t focus your praise on how people look.
Compliment others on their internal attributes — really. Chances are this is a value you already embrace, but pay attention to how many times you greet people with a compliment about how they look.
Wright argues that our obsession with weight is at its root an obsession with appearance and status. Subverting that focus can be as simple as not complimenting people on their looks or possessions when you greet them. “Let's make our greetings about how great it is to see you as a person, how that makes my day,” Wright says. “Kids internalize, My value isn't really in how I look. [...] What we can do as parents is we can give them another narrative that they can consider.”
To be clear, even if you take all of these suggestions to heart, your child could have eating issues, even severe ones. “There are families who have wonderful attitudes towards eating and weight whose children still develop eating disorders,” Bulik says. “Children are exposed to many more influences than just their parents."
But treating food and weight as non-issues in your household — a huge and transgressive undertaking — will almost certainly create a happier environment for you and the rest of your family, and it could make recovery easier for the kid who does develop an eating disorder. Take Harrison, the author of Anti-Diet, who grew up in what she describes as a nearly food-neutral household. Harrison says that even though she went on to develop an eating disorder in her 20s, "that foundation that my family built really served me well to be able to click back into intuitive eating relatively quickly. It still took years, but [for] some of the people I see, it's taken decades. I think that foundation can still do a certain amount of good.”

Paul Krugman vs. Nate Silver cage match
In the Paul Krugman vs. Nate Silver cage match, I’m on Team Nate
Prof. Paul Krugman and Nate Silver got into a dust-up earlier this week about why so many voters seem to have soured on the Democrats. So that you don’t have to go digging through all the Twitter detritus, Alternet has a good write-up copying all the relevant tweets. (Apparently, the two have been at odds at least since 2014, when Five Thirty-Eight left The NY Times and went to ESPN; I do not know nor do I care who dissed whom first back then).
The dust-up started when Nate wrote:
Krugman responded:
Since how the average American is doing in the economy is something I’ve been obsessively following for about 20 years, and I’ve also spent a fair amount of time parsing what economic indicators appear to best forecast at least Presidential votes, I think I’m qualified to weigh in.
Sorry, Professor, I’m on Team Nate on this.
Yes, Nate Silver shouldn’t have said “some folks on here” without being able to back it up with at least one specific (Note: I’m not going to go digging for that either, but my recollection is that I have read tweets from partisans to the effect that “Actually the Economy is Great;” I think one such partisan may have been Dana Houle). But the *substance* of Nate’s criticism – that voters do not think the economy is going so great – is in my opinion on target. Krugman’s “straw man” criticism is actually something of a “straw man” itself, failing to come to grips with the issue.
First of all, I should point out that, as to Presidential elections, Silver himself did a regression on some 50 economic indicators to attempt to figure out which ones best predicted *Presidential* outcomes. But to my knowledge, no such systematic review has taken place with regard to Congressional and State elections. So take the Presidential formula with a hefty grain of salt.
If this were a Presidential election year, the decline in the unemployment rate would be good news for Biden, because the unemployment rate is one of the best predictors of incumbent vs. insurgent Presidential vote. I was also able to determine that real retail sales were also a very good indicator. James Surowiecki has calculated that changes in real disposable personal income during the election year is also predictive. Finally, economists at the London School of Economics have calculated that the Index of Leading Economic Indicators through the first quarter of a Presidential election year work well.
The news with respect to the above statistics is mixed. The unemployment rate is clearly down, the index of leading indicators is still positive but has decelerated sharply through February, and real retail sales per capita and real disposable personal income are down.
Perhaps more importantly, as shown in the graph below, since last May (when the big stimulus effect first wore off), on a per capita basis, real personal income is down -1.6%, real *disposable* personal income is down -2.6%, real average nonsupervisory wages are down -1.9%, and real retail sales per capita are only up 0.1%:
These are averages; in other words, while median measures would be better if we had them, taking the vast mass of people together, about half of all of them have sustained *real* economic losses in the past 9 months since the stimulus wore off, and they are reining in their spending.
By contrast, only 1.8% of the population in the entire age bracket from 16 through 65 who were not employed as of last May has gotten a job:
In other words, 1.8% have benefitted from less unemployment, while somewhere near 50% (again, we don’t have median measures so this is the best we can do) have sustained losses. On top of that, since some stimulus benefits have ended (the $3000 child care credit comes to mind), this has created a hole in lots of families’ wallets, and the evidence shows they are blaming Democrats (thank you, Manchin and Sinema).
The difference between how “the economy” is doing, vs. how average families are doing, is best shown by comparing real *aggregate* payrolls, up 3.0% since last May, vs. real *average* wages:
In the aggregate, even after inflation payrolls are up 3.0%. But the average worker’s hourly wage is down -0.8%. The economy has been booming; the average worker’s wallet, not so much.
So I side with Nate Silve

The Texas Rangers were one of the busiest teams in the offseason with the goal of quickly turning around the franchise. The Rangers added shortstop Corey Seager, second baseman Marcus Semien, outfielder Kole Calhoun and starter Jon Gray through free agency.
Texas fans get their first look at the new players when the Rangers host the Colorado Rockies on Monday afternoon in the first of a two-game interleague series.
Texas rallied for a 12-6 win at Toronto to salvage the last of the three-game series against the Blue Jays. Semien had a rough debut against his former team and is hitting just .077 while Seager thrived and brings a .462 average to the home opener.
Colorado won’t see Gray, its former first-round pick, on this trip. Gray pitched the opener in Toronto but landed on the 10-day injured list with a blister.
The Rangers went on a spending spree after losing 102 games last season. With a new ballpark – Globe Life Field opened in 2020 to no fans – the organization felt the need to go big.
“We want to win a World Series,” Semien said. “We want to play great baseball for these fans. We have talent and great men in this clubhouse. We are always going to play hard. We’re not going to go 162-0, but the effort is always going to be there. With the fans, the talent and the effort, we’re going to take things to the next level.”
Texas will send Dallas-area product Taylor Hearn to the hill against Colorado’s Austin Gomber. Hearn has faced the Rockies twice in his career – both games in relief – and has a 6.00 ERA in three innings of work.
Hearn broke in with the Rangers in 2019, starting one game, and then made 14 relief appearances in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Last year, he was 6-6 with a 4.66 ERA in 42 games, 11 of them starts.
Gomber finished 9-9 with a 4.53 ERA in a career-high 23 starts in 2021. It was his first season with the Rockies after coming over from St. Louis in the Nolan Arenado trade.
Gomber is 1-1 with a 3.48 ERA in two career starts against the Rangers.
The lefty wasn’t intimidated by pitching at altitude. He went 5-1 with 2.09 ERA in nine home starts last season and has pitched with the philosophy of throwing any pitch in any count. He also knows he needs to be flexible based on the situation.
“What I’m trying to do a better job of this year is having a baseline plan going into the game and knowing certain areas that I want to avoid with certain guys,” he said. “A lot of times last year I would find that pitches I was throwing were playing into their strengths.”
Colorado will try to build on a successful opening weekend. After losing on Opening Day, the Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Saturday night and 9-4 Sunday afternoon to take the series from their NL West Division rivals.

COVID-19 Impact on Mental Disorder Drugs Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has a mixed impact on the mental disorder drugs market worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the increasing prevalence of mental disorders worldwide. However, the pharmaceutical and biologics companies are facing challenges while drug manufacturing and marketing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the WHO, the COVID-19 pandemic has disturbed the mental healthcare services in many countries.
Thus, the demand for these drugs impacted negatively since 2020. However, the market is expected to lucrative rate after 2021-2023 owing to the launch of the COVID-19 vaccine and growing mental health awareness programs worldwide.
Market Drivers
Growing prevalence of rising prevalence of mental disorders including depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder; mounting investment in drug R&D by pharmaceutical & biopharmaceutical companies; technological advancements, government support, and developing healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies are the major drivers boosting the global mental disorder drugs market.
There is a high demand for more advanced products for the treatment and maintenance of severe mental disorders. Thus, the leading pharmaceutical companies are investing a huge amount of money for novel drug R&D and launch. For instance, in August 2020, Janssen Pharmaceutical announced that the U.S. FDA has approved the sNDA for its SPRAVATO (esketamine) CIII nasal spray, for the treatment of adults with MDD.
Market Opportunities
The development and discovery of new mental disorders drugs have gained valuable impetus in recent years. Drugmakers are moving from conventional drug formulations to the discovery of innovative and improved medications to treat a variety of mental disorders within the mental disorder care industry. The government and other non-profit organisations are rapidly investing in the creation of new treatments for mental disorders. Collaborations between non-profit organisations and the government are on the rise in the mental disorder treatment industry, particularly in developing regions such as China and India.
The high opportunities in developing countries such as China and India will strengthen the global mental disorder drugs market in near future. The developing healthcare infrastructure along with the high prevalence of mental disorders in these countries is expected to boost the demand for advanced mental disorder drugs in these countries.

PHOENIX (AP)Nabil Crismatt’s experience in a big league bullpen has taught him to be ready to pitch from the moment the first inning starts.
He had to be ready even earlier on Sunday.
Crismatt pitched three scoreless innings in an emergency start, Jurickson Profar hit a grand slam and the San Diego Padres used a big second inning to win their third straight game, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-5.
”My mentality is to be ready to go at any moment,” Crismatt said. ”When they told me I was in the game, I liked that moment and I love to go out there and compete.”
Crismatt and catcher Jorge Alfaro formed the first Colombian-born starting battery in major league history.
The Padres sent 10 hitters to the plate in the second and the first seven reached base, starting with Jake Cronenworth on an error by second baseman Ketel Marte. Luke Voit and Wil Myers followed with walks and then Profar hammered a hanging slider from left-hander Caleb Smith into the left-center seats.
It’s been a good start for Profar, who also homered on Friday. He helped the Padres win three of four in the series.
Jorge Alfaro followed Profar with a shot to center and the Padres had a 5-0 lead they wouldn’t come close to relinquishing. They were helped by a sloppy D-backs team that made two costly errors, including Marte’s that started the second-inning rally.
”Three unearned runs to me is unacceptable,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. ”That game should have been a lot closer than it was.”
Crismatt was the emergency starting pitcher for the Padres after Blake Snell was scratched just before the first pitch because of left adductor tightness. San Diego manager Bob Melvin said he had already exchanged lineup cards when Snell felt the injury on his final warmup pitch, setting off a bullpen scramble.
”It was as late as I’ve ever seen anything,” Melvin said. ”We had to make some adjustments on the fly and got it done.”
Crismatt responded well in his first career start, throwing three shutout innings and giving up just one hit. Austin Adams (1-0) got the win after a scoreless inning of relief.
Smith (0-1) gave up five runs, four earned, in one inning. Cooper Hummel hit a three-run homer for Arizona in the ninth, his first major league hit. Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly moved to the mound for the ninth and pitched a scoreless inning.
SNELL SCRATCHED
Melvin said Snell – the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner – is likely headed for a stint on the 10-day IL but the team wanted to see how the pitcher feels on Monday.
It was the first bit of bad news for a Padres rotation that was brilliant through the first three games. Yu Darvish and Sean Manaea threw 13 innings of no-hit baseball on back-to-back days and Joe Musgrove was solid on Saturday, giving up two runs over six innings.
DISMAL D-BACKS
It was a rough opening series for the Diamondbacks, who dropped three of four games.
Their only win was on opening night, when Seth Beer clubbed a game-winning, three-run homer in the ninth.
That fun moment aside, the D-backs don’t look much better than last season, when they finished with a 52-110 record. On Sunday, Arizona was hurt by two costly errors that led to three unearned runs. When two runs scored on back-to-back wild pitches in the fifth, there were even some boos from the home crowd at Chase Field.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Diamondbacks: RHP Luke Weaver was placed on the 10-day IL with right elbow inflammation. LHP Kyle Nelson was called up to take Weaver’s place on the roster.
UP NEXT
Padres: San Diego travels to San Francisco for a three-game series beginning Monday. RHP Nick Martinez will start for the Padres against Giants LHP Alex Wood.
Diamondbacks: Arizona has a day off before a two-game home series with the Houston Astros that begins Tuesday. RHP Zac Gallen is expected to make his first start of the season against Houston RHP Luis Garcia.

‘Hoary prejudice lingers’: Ought you adopt a nom de plume?
By Kate Forsyth
Dearest reader, high society is once again agog at the secrets and scandals being revealed in the new season of Bridgerton, Netflix’s hugely popular Regency romance.
The anonymous gossip columnist Lady Whistledown is again wielding her well-sharpened quill, causing all of London (and the rest of the world) to whisper behind their fans.
Or rather, the once anonymous Lady Whistledown. For her identity was revealed at the very end of season one, leaving the audience reeling with surprise and buzzing with anticipation: What will happen now? What will the cost to Lady Whistledown be when she is inevitably unmasked?
Dear reader, look away now if you do not know the secret identity of the authoress of such cruel, clever, cutting remarks as “marrying above one’s station is an art form indeed” and ‘she is an expert in the art of the swoon.’ For very few viewers suspected shy, sweet, downtrodden Penelope Featherington was the wielder of the poison pen, if the explosion of #wtf on social media that night was any indication.
Everyone was talking about it. And, listening and laughing and speculating with the best of them, I found myself answering one question again and again and again. But why? Why did Penelope have to write under a non de plume? For most of human history, women were supposed to stay silent.
As Mary Beard reminds us, the first time a man is recorded telling a woman to “shut up” was in Homer’s Odyssey. Penelope’s son Telemachus says, “Mother … go back into your quarters, take up your own work, the loom and the distaff ... speech will be the business of men, all men, and of me most of all; for mine is the power in this household.”
The world’s first novel was written by a woman, though we do not know her name. She lived in 11th century Japan and is usually called Lady Murasaki after her heroine. “Such a difficult, constricted life … a woman is required to live,” she wrote.

Many women were never taught to read or write. It has been estimated that 99 per cent of the female population was illiterate right up to the time of Shakespeare. By the 18th century, women were writing and being published, but few chose to do so under their names. Feminist scholar Jennie Batchelor says: “women’s writing was determined an immodest or dangerous activity that contravened the gendered imperative that women conform to an ideal of silence and modesty.”
When Fanny Burney published her first novel Evelina in 1788, she did so in the strictest secrecy. She copied out the manuscript using a “feigned hand”, then sent it to a publisher under a male pseudonym, asking if he might buy a book “without ever seeing … the Author”. She was delighted when he wrote back addressing her as “Sir”. Yet when her father discovered she was the author, Burney felt “afraid–& quite ashamed to be alone with him.”
This stigma was the primary cause of the pseudonymous choice of epithets by women writers including Jane Austen (“A Lady”), George Eliot whose real name was Mary Ann Evans, and the three Bronte sisters who published as Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell as “we had a vague impression that authoresses are liable to be looked on with prejudice”.
In Australia, the first published children’s book was written anonymously by a woman. A Mother’s Offering to Her Children by a Lady Long Resident in New South Wales, published in 1841, was written by my great-great-great-great-grandmother, Charlotte Waring Atkinson. Her identity was unknown to the public for almost a century and a half. As with Lady Whistledown, she chose to write anonymously both for freedom of expression and for the money she could earn. She had fled an abusive husband and fought through the courts to retain custody of her children. Her quill was the only means of support she had for her family.
One of the most famous Australian women writers is Miles Franklin, who chose her masculine middle name instead of her Christian name, Stella, as her pseudonym when her first novel My Brilliant Career was published in 1901. She wanted to be thought of as “a bald-headed seer of the sterner sex”. However, Henry Lawson exposed her secret in his preface, reductively describing her as “just a little bush girl”.
Trying to escape this image, Franklin wrote under different pseudonyms including “An Old Bachelor”, “Mr and Mrs Ogniblat L’Artsau”, and, finally, “Brent of Bin Bin”. She went to extraordinary lengths to protect her pseudonym, telling her publisher “Anonymity was necessary to facilitate the progress of my work” and that they must not indicate “whether the author is a be-shingled flapper under twenty or a be-whiskered squatter over fifty.”
Miles Franklin’s disguises offered her the privacy she needed to write as she pleased. This need for concealment is expressed by another of Australia’s most famous women writers, Henry Handel Richardson, who wrote: “I must have a mask to hide behind”. Christened Ethel, she had chosen to publish her novels under a male pseudonym because “a book … has a better chance if written by a man than a woman. Hoary prejudice lingers, whatever one might say to the contrary.“
Richardson persisted in using a phallic mask even after her gender was revealed. In 1935, she was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal under her married name, “Mrs. J. G. Robertson.” She refused the award, only accepting it once it was addressed to her chosen nomenclature.
Twenty years later, Gwen Harwood was living in Tasmania, raising her family, and trying to get her poems published. Finding that “lady poets” were less likely to have their poems accepted, she used several pseudonyms including W.W. Hagendoor (an anagram of her name) and Walter Lehmann.
In August 1961, the Melbourne newspaper Truth ran the headline “GREAT POEM HOAX: HOUSEWIFE FOOLS THE EXPERTS WITH HER NAUGHTY SONNETS. The page three article began: “A Tasmanian poet-housewife has become the centre of a literary storm because of two sonnets she sent to a magazine as a hoax. The sonnets concealed a message – and a rude word – in words from the first letter of each line. The poet is Mrs Gwen Harwood, of Hobart, wife of a University Tasmania lecturer.”
Acrostically, the sonnets read F--- ALL EDITORS and SO LONG BULLETIN. It caused a storm of controversy. A staff writer at The Bulletin wrote dismissively: “(she) apparently imagined the acrostic would remain her private secret forever. Such are the fantasies of lady poets.”
Writing anonymously empowered all these writers to speak up and express themselves freely in a society that exerts so much pressure on women to be polite and pleasing. It brought them creative freedom and financial independence and allowed them to challenge accepted feminine roles.
In the very first episode of Bridgerton, it was said: “Of all bitches dead or alive, a scribbling woman is the most canine. If that should be true, then this author would like to show you her teeth. My name is Lady Whistledown. You do not know me, and rest assured, you never shall.”
Or shall we? Gentle reader, all will soon be revealed...
Kate Forsyth is an award-winning author whose novels include The Crimson Thread, Bitter Greens, and Beauty in Thorns.

Arsenal could be set to turn their attention away from Douglas Luiz to boost Aston Villa's hopes of keeping the Brazil international.
Luiz, 23, was reportedly the subject of three failed transfer bids in January - including a £30million offer from Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs ended up beating Villa to Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, but Arsenal failed to strengthen their engine room.
Signing a new midfielder is reportedly Arsenal's top priority heading into the summer window, but Luiz isn't top of their list any more. It is being claimed that Wolverhampton Wanderers playmaker Ruben Neves is the midfielder Mikel Arteta wants.
READ: Son Heung-min outlines Jacob Ramsey moment which changed Aston Villa vs Tottenham
READ: Aston Villa tipped to sign next Cesc Fabregas amid feeder club talk
The Gunners have a long-standing interest in Neves and, according to Sky Sports, Arteta has asked the club's hierarchy to make a move for the 25-year-old when the summer window opens in June. Neves recently suffered a knee injury ruling him out until May, but the midfielder has been hugely influential in Wolves colours this season.
Neves has scored four goals and grabbed two assists to put him amongst Wolves' biggest goal contributors in the Premier League this term. The Portugal international has played the some of his best football for Wolves in 2021/22 and Bruno Lage believes he has put his career 'on a different level'.
Arsenal will face competition for Neves, who is being courted by Manchester United and Barcelona - with the latter favourites to sign him according to The Athletic. Wolves have held talks with Neves' agent Jorge Mendes over a new contract, but Lage admits a huge offer could tempt the club into selling their star man.
“What he is doing this season is very good. I think also the way we play, he can show a better Ruben, and also the way he plays puts our team on a different level," said Lage.
“When you have that player, the best thing to do is improve his salary and years of contract. But who knows, when you have a top player like him in that specific position, that can defend and attack, and is a top professional and a great man, the big teams are there with £100million to buy these kinds of players.”
Arsenal are unlikely to move for both Neves and Luiz, which paves the way for Villa to re-open contract talks with their number six. Luiz's contract at Villa Park expires in 2023.

Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers have hinted at the "epic" nature of the next installment of their Netflix series, comparing the scale and scope of events to Game of Thrones.
"We kind of jokingly call it our Game of Thrones season because it’s so spread out, so I think that’s what’s unique or most unique about the season," Matt Duffer said during Deadline’s Contenders Television panel (opens in new tab).
He added: "Joyce and the Byers family have left [Hawkins] at the end of season 3," he added, referring to Winona Ryder's character and her sons Will (Noah Schnapp) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton).
"They are in California – we’ve always wanted to have that like E.T.-esque suburb aesthetic, which we finally got to do this year in the desert; and then we have Hopper [David Harbour] in Russia; and then of course we have a group remaining in Hawkins. So we have these three storylines, are all connected and kind of interwoven together, but it’s just very different tones."
The new season will also see the return of series regulars Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Joe Keery, Sadie Sink, Maya Hawke, and Natalia Dyer.
"We didn’t know how big the season was going to get, and we didn’t even realize until we were about halfway through, just in terms of how much story that we wanted to tell this season," Ross Duffer continued. "Game of Thrones is one thing we’ve referenced, but also for us really what it’s about is revelations, in that we really wanted to start giving the audience some answers."
The brothers also revealed that the upcoming season will contain much longer episodes than we're used to. “I don’t think we have an episode clocking in under an hour – even in season 1 there were episodes that were like 35 minutes. You kind of forget that," Matt said. "This season, they’re very long, so I think it’s almost double the length of any season. So that’s one reason it’s taken so long. It does have this sort of epic quality to it. It’s a different feel, for sure."
Stranger Things season 4 is releasing in two parts, with the first arriving on May 27. In the meantime, check out our list of the other best Netflix shows that you can watch right now.

A homegrown terrorist is facing a life sentence after jurors took just 18 minutes to convict him of the “cold and calculating” murder of Sir David Amess.
Ali Harbi Ali refused to stand in the dock on “religious grounds” as the jury foreman returned unanimous guilty verdicts, following a seven-day trial in which Ali admitted carrying out the attack and plotting to kill other MPs including Conservative grandee Michael Gove.
Sir David’s family – sat almost within arm’s length of the Old Bailey dock – remained silent throughout.
London-born Ali, who did not dispute much of the “overwhelming” evidence, will be sentenced on Wednesday for murder and preparing acts of terrorism.
The 26-year-old Islamic State fanatic carried out his attack at the veteran MP’s constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on October 15 last year.
Ali told the trial he had no regrets about the murder, defending his actions by saying Sir David deserved to die because he had voted in Parliament for air strikes on Syria in 2014 and 2015.
The court heard that Ali became known to authorities around this time as his school performance plunged and he was referred to the Government’s Prevent strategy, but continued plotting in secret.
The so-called “lone wolf” sent a manifesto on WhatsApp to family and friends seeking to justify his actions around the time of the attack, and told Sir David he was “sorry” before plunging the knife into him, causing the politician to scream.
The Tory backbencher died at the scene.
Knife-wielding Ali was later apprehended by two police officers armed only with batons and spray. They have since been handed bravery awards.
Essex Police Chief Superintendent Simon Anslow said: “They’ve basically gone in armed with a stick – something that appears smaller than a deodorant can – to deal with a man that has just committed an absolutely heinous act, still armed with that knife.
“I think it’s an astounding act of bravery.”
Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill QC said the murder was “the most appalling tragedy”, particularly for the Amess family, and an “attack on democracy”.
He said: “I’m obviously pleased that at the end of what must have been a very difficult trial for Sir David Amess’s family, justice has been served and this individual will now pay the price for his crimes.”
In a statement, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “Sir David Amess was a beloved colleague, public servant and friend who championed the city of Southend in everything he did. My thoughts today remain with Julia, the Amess family and all those who knew and loved him.”
The court heard that “model student” Ali had become self-radicalised in 2014, going on to drop out of university, abandoning ambitions for a career in medicine.
Ali, who came from an influential Somali family and said he had a childhood “full of love and care”, considered travelling to Syria to fight but by 2019 had opted for an attack in Britain.
He bought a £20 knife from Argos six years ago which he carried in his bag throughout summer 2021 as he “scoped out” possible targets, jurors heard.
He carried out reconnaissance on the Houses of Parliament but found police there were “armed to the teeth”.
Ali researched MPs online including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.
He staked out the west London home of Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove six times and wrote detailed notes on how he might get to him.
Scenarios included mingling with media, bumping into him jogging, ringing his doorbell, and causing a scene to “lure” him out.
Ali rejected the plan after Mr Gove split up with his wife and was thought to have moved out of the family home.
The attacker later told police: “It was… so convenient to go to that address but I just, I don’t know why I didn’t do that one.”
Ali, from Kentish Town, north London, was also spotted lurking outside Finchley MP Mike Freer’s constituency office, jurors were told.
By September last year, Ali had settled on Sir David as an easy target after seeing his upcoming surgery in Leigh-on-Sea on Twitter.
He made an appointment through the MP’s office, falsely claiming he was moving to the area and was interested in churches.
On the morning of October 15, he was caught on CCTV as he made his way by foot and train to Essex.
Within minutes of meeting Sir David, Ali pulled out a 12in carving knife and stabbed him more than 20 times.
He waved the bloody knife and threatened to kill the MP’s two female aides and a couple who had arrived for their own appointment.
Sir David’s assistant Julie Cushion told jurors that Ali appeared “self-satisfied” after the killing.
In police interview, he spoke calmly about his terror plot and admitted allegiance to the so-called Islamic State group.
He told officers that Sir David immediately suspected a “sting”, having been duped into talking about a fake drug called “cake” in the television series Brass Eye.
Ali went on: “I felt like one minute I was sat down at the table talking to him and the next he was, sort of, dead.
“But, yeah, it’s probably one of the strangest days… of my life now, you know?”
Jurors were told Ali had no mental health issues and he accepted much of the evidence against him.
Sir David was killed five years after Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox was murdered in her constituency.
His death led to renewed concern around the safety of MPs.

Ram Navami: Communal violence reported from four states during processions
Communal clashes erupted in four states on Sunday during the Ram Navami processions. While one person died in Gujarat, violence was also reported in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone, West Bengal's Howrah, and Jharkhand's Lohardaga. As per reports, clashes erupted as rallies were held to celebrate the Hindu festival. According to officials, restrictions have been imposed in affected areas in order to maintain law and order.
- Reportedly, most of the communal clashes were reported from minority-dominated areas, where anti-social elements allegedly triggered violence.
- To note, communal tensions have recently seen a surge across the country.
- Similar clashes were reported in Karnataka on Friday when stones were reportedly pelted during a Rama Shobha Yatra procession in Kolar's Mulbagal. During another Kolar procession, right-wing activists allegedly used loudspeakers and danced before mosques.
In Madhya Pradesh's Khargone, stones were thrown at a Ram Navami procession, resulting in arson and torching of some houses and vehicles, India Today reported. To keep the situation under control, the police used teargas shells. Following the violence—in which three cops were injured—a curfew was enforced in three areas of Khargone; residents were asked not to leave their homes except for medical emergencies.
On Sunday, a Ram Navami procession in West Bengal's Howrah was also allegedly attacked. An investigation was launched into the incident and a large number of security personnel was deployed there to maintain peace. The police asked residents to exercise caution while posting about the incident online to avoid untoward incidents. WB's Opposition BJP, meanwhile, alleged it was the police who attacked the procession.
According to The Indian Express, violence was reported in Gujarat from Anand district's Khambhat town and Sabarkantha district's Himmatnagar town. Both towns reported stone-pelting and arson—one death was reported in Khambhat. The police used tear gas to control the situation. Despite reports of violence, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) decided to hold another rally in the same area in Himmatnagar, the Indian Express reported.
In Jharkhand, too, stone-pelting was reported during a Ram Navami procession in Lohardaga, following which police forces were deployed in the area. Several people were reportedly injured in the incident. Similarly, some youngsters in Bokaro—who were allegedly on their way to join a procession—got into a fight with another group and were attacked with stones. The police, however, said the matter was resolved later.

Manhole cover explosion caused some to panic in New York’s Times Square
NEW YORK (WCBS) - An Earthcam video shows the moment people began scrambling out of the area just before 7 p.m. Sunday.
Con Ed said a power cable failure led to an explosion and fire in a manhole.
As firefighters worked to put out the fire, dark gray smoke came from a manhole and two others, filling the air.
“Once I’m seeing the fire, the cops are telling me to back up and start backing up. But still I started like proceeding to the fire‚ and then it’s actually exploded right in front of me. And that’s when I was just like I started running,” Lavier Pounds said.
Marivic Jaks said she is visiting from California and was running late to catch her tour bus when she heard the boom.
“We just missed it. We missed the bus. Five minutes of walking and then a loud, loud … I’m still nervous and shaking,” she said.
Firefighters evacuated people in the area as a precaution.
Officials said there were elevated carbon monoxide levels in an office building, and firefighters assisted Con Ed crews in ventilating the cellar and subcellar of that building.
On Sunday, Con Ed says there have been no power outages because of the fire.

Nairobi — Parents have been asked to send their child’s index number to 22263 to know which secondary school they have been placed in.
According to Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha, the SMS platform is available for all mobile networks and will be charged Sh25 each.
Speaking during the Form One selection exercise, Magoha stated that so far, 38,797 candidates who sat for their 2021 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations have been admitted to National Schools.
The Education CS pointed out that a further 214,960 have been placed in Extra-County schools.
He indicated that 2,045 students will go to special needs schools while 218, 456 will be in County Schools.
“Public primary schools have received a reasonable number of vacancies in all schools that is commensurate with their candidature. In the placement, the majority of candidates who scored 400 marks and above were placed in National or Extra County schools of their choice. The Special Needs candidates were also placed in the regular schools of their preference, while others were placed in special schools based on their disability categories, on merit and choice,” said Magoha.
The CS said the candidates were placed in 9,200 public schools following a fair, just and verifiable selection process.
“So today, I stand before you to speak about a story of hope and progress. The beautiful story is that all our 1,225,502 KCPE 2021 candidates whose results we released just two weeks ago have found places in our 9,200 public schools. So, by the Grace of God, the candidates will all transition and complete their secondary school education in four years,” said Magoha.
He pointed out that the selection process strictly adhered to merit, choice and equity in placement.
“Of the 1,225,502 candidates that sat the 2021 KCPE, 900 were inmates, 573 were overage candidates, 33,627 were underage (12 years and below), 9,128 were candidates from refugees in camps and 2,819 are Special Needs candidates. We have therefore placed all selectable candidates appropriately in secondary schools in keeping with our 100% transition policy. In the selection, we have strictly applied the principles of merit, choice and equity in placing candidates to each school category,” Magoha said.
Magoha indicated that no student should be sent away due to fees balance.
He further urged parents to only pay the fee stipulated by the Ministry of Education.
“As a Ministry, we are committed to ensure that parents/guardians with learners who will be joining Form One are not overburdened with unnecessary requirements that increase the cost of education. Principals should exercise caution while listing student 11 requirements as part of the measures to reduce the cost of education,” the CS said.
The students are expected to report to their respective schools on May 3.

Newswise — While smoking rates have declined dramatically in the United States, there are still 35 million smokers. There are few data about whether, and if so, how current cigarette smoking habits among those trying to quit are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Charles H. Hennekens, M.D., Dr.PH., senior author, first Sir Richard Doll Professor of Medicine and senior academic adviser to the dean at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and collaborators from Baylor College of Medicine, examined changes to smoking habits and correlates of increases and decreases during the COVID-19 pandemic among participants enrolled in a tobacco cessation and lung cancer screening program.
Between June and October 2020, they conducted a cross-sectional survey of a program participant sample. The survey consisted of three parts: changes in tobacco use; impact and coping strategies; and COVID-19 exposure and use of protective measures. Demographic variables included age, sex, race/ethnicity and marital status.
Results, published in the Ochsner Journal, showed statistically significant and potentially clinically important differences between those who increased and decreased tobacco use during the pandemic. Among current smokers, 28.2 percent reported increased tobacco use, 17.3 percent reported decreased tobacco use and 54.5 percent reported no change. In addition, there were no reports of relapse among former smokers.
Researchers found correlates of increased tobacco use related to coping strategies and mental health such as high uncertainty about the future, loneliness as a result of social distancing, anger or frustration with how the pandemic has disrupted daily life, boredom because of being unable to work or engage in regular daily activities/ routines, desire to cope using alcohol or drugs, sadness or feelings of hopelessness and worry or fear about challenges to securing basic needs such as groceries or medication.
In contrast, those who smoked less were more likely to practice social distancing and other preventive strategies of proven benefit.
“These data may aid healthcare providers to identify and provide counsel to cigarette smokers at greater risk for increasing tobacco consumption during current and future stresses such as the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Hennekens. “All of these efforts have the potential to reduce many premature deaths from cigarette smoking, which remain alarmingly and unnecessarily high in the U.S. and are increasing worldwide.”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that tobacco-related causes account for more than 480,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, which was recently exceeded by the deaths from COVID-19.
Smoking cigarettes causes premature deaths due mainly to a two-fold risk of cardiovascular disease and a 20-fold risk of lung cancer. Quitting smoking reduces the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease beginning with a matter of months, reaching that of a lifelong non-smoker within a few years, even among older adults. In contrast, reductions in mortality risk from lung cancer only begin to appear several years after quitting, and even by 10 years, the risk is reduced to only approximately mid-way between continuing smokers and lifelong smokers. This is because the risks of cardiovascular disease relate to the numbers of cigarettes currently smoked and the risks of cancer to the duration of the habit.
Each year in the U.S., approximately 30 million hospitalizations occur in individuals 18 and older. Of these, more than 7 million are current cigarette smokers whose average hospital stay is several days.
“Smoking cessation therapy also should include long-term counseling and at least 90 days of a prescription drug, in particular, varenicline, whose mechanisms include blocking the pleasurable sensations of nicotine on the brain,” said Hennekens.
Collaborators are first author Maria Mejia, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor; Roger Zoorob, M.D., M.P.H., professor and chair; Xiofan Huang, M.S., biostatistician; and Robert S. Levine, M.D., professor, all within the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. Levine also is an affiliate professor at the FAU Schmidt College of Medicine.
The authors dedicated the manuscript to the memory of the late Edward D. Frohlich, M.D., Ph.D., who was the Alton Ochsner Distinguished Scientist at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation and a staff member of the Ochsner Clinic.
Hennekens was the 29th recipient of the prestigious “Alton Ochsner Award,” in recognition of his seminal discovery research on the hazards of cigarette smoking. Ochsner, a thoracic surgeon, and Michael DeBakey, M.D., a future world-renowned cardiovascular surgeon, were early recipients of the award for their uncontrolled case series on cigarette smoking upon lung cancer victims at autopsy in the 1930s. Sir Richard Doll, a British physician, became the foremost epidemiologist of the 20th Century for pioneering epidemiologic studies, first with Sir Austin Bradford Hill and later with Sir Richard Peto – all who received the Alton Ochsner Award for their seminal contributions to the mortality hazards of cigarette smoking.
From 1995 to 2005, Science Watch ranked Hennekens as the third most widely cited medical researcher in the world and five of the top 20 were his former trainees and/or fellows. In 2012, Science Heroes ranked Hennekens No. 81 in the history of the world for having saved more than 1.1 million lives. In 2016, he was ranked the No. 14 “Top Living Medical Scientist in the World.”
Based in part on the pivotal work of Hennekens documenting the large clinical and public health hazards of smoking cigarettes, FAU President John Kelly adopted a university-wide tobacco free policy.

WPSU-TV Public Media (Channel 3) will broadcast the documentary “Reclaiming History” about the restoration of a 19th century oil painting that now hangs in the KOA Speer Lobby of Blaisdell Hall at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Pitt-Bradford commissioned the 36-minute film by award-winning filmmakers Adrian Selkowitz and Rufus Lusk. It will air twice: at 9 p.m. Monday, April 11, and at 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 12. The documentary may air additional times after that.
The film tells the story about how Italian artist Tommaso Juglaris painted a 15-foot by 9-foot scene of Venice, Italy, in which the great painter Paolo Veronese enjoys a gondola ride with a beautiful woman, troubadours and a gondolier. Juglaris painted the scene while in Paris and entered the painting in the famed Paris Salon, where it earned an honorable mention.
Several years later, he moved to the United States, bringing the painting with him and eventually selling it to wealthy oil executive and Pennsylvania Sen. Lewis Emery, who lived in Bradford. When Emery died, the painting became a focal point in a hotel built by his daughter to honor his memory.
Decades later, Pitt-Bradford purchased the Emery Hotel to become a residence hall for its students. The university’s president asked a campus supporter to store the painting for safe-keeping and had it crated and sent to a warehouse owned by Carl E. Swanson.
There it sat for nearly 60 years until Swanson’s grandson, Al Swanson, found it while cleaning out the warehouse in preparation for his own retirement. He remembered his father mentioning a large crate that belonged to the university and called a friend who worked there.
The university evaluated whether the painting could be restored and chose to undertake the project and document it as well.
The film tells the story of the painter, the painting, its owners and restoration through interviews with Juglaris scholar Dr. Geoffrey Drutchas; Matthew Hileman, manager of the Marilyn Horne Museum and Exhibit Center and instructor of art history; Sally Costik, executive director of the Bradford Landmark Society; Rick and Meredith Fesenmyer, descendants of Emery; Rick Esch, interim president of Pitt-Bradford; and conservators Jeffrey Johnson and Jacintha Clark.
Then-students Haley Madl, a history-political science major from Beaver, and Devon Briggs, a double-major in history-political science and international affairs, assisted with research for the documentary. Then-student Danica Andrews, a broadcast communications major from Greensville, assisted with filming. Alexis Horning, a psychology major with a minor in art from Bradford, helped with the restoration itself.
Patricia Colosimo, director of arts programming, served as project director for both the restoration and the documentary.

Epic Games, the publisher of the popular video game Fortnite and creator of the Unreal Engine graphics software that is popular with Hollywood, has raised $2 billion in a new fundraising round from Sony Group Corp. and KIRKBI, the owner of the Lego toy and entertainment brand.
Epic says it will use the cash infusion to work with its investors and “create new social entertainment exploring the connection between digital and physical worlds.” Yes, it’s about the metaverse.
Sony and KIRKBI will each contribute $1 billion in the round, which values Epic at $31.5 billion. Epic last raised cash in May of last year at a $28.7 billion valuation. Sony was also part of that round. Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney remains the controlling shareholder of the company.

“This investment will accelerate our work to build the metaverse and create spaces where players can have fun with friends, brands can build creative and immersive experiences and creators can build a community and thrive,” said Sweeney in announcing the deal.
Epic has seen record-smashing growth in recent years, driven by Fortnite and the continued expansion of Unreal. The company has also been on the hunt for acquisition, most recently the music and artist community platform Bandcamp, just last month.
But it has also faced public scrutiny, driven by its antitrust lawsuit against Apple. The gaming company argued that Apple’s 30 percent cut of purchases was monopolistic. In trial, a judge ruled that Apple was ok to charge a commission, but found that the tech giant’s anti-steering rule (which said that companies like Epic couldn’t direct users to their website to pay for a subscription or content) was inappropriate.
“As a creative entertainment company, we are thrilled to invest in Epic to deepen our relationship in the metaverse field, a space where creators and users share their time.” said Kenichiro Yoshida, chairman, president and CEO of Sony Group Corp., in a statement. “We are also confident that Epic’s expertise, including their powerful game engine, combined with Sony’s technologies, will accelerate our various efforts such as the development of new digital fan experiences in sports and our virtual production initiatives.”
The deal with KIRKBI was foreshadowed last week, when Lego and Epic announced plans to create an “immersive, creatively inspiring and engaging digital experience” for kids and families.
“A proportion of our investments is focused on trends we believe will impact the future world that we and our children will live in,” KIRKBI CEO Søren Thorup Sørensen said. “This investment will accelerate our engagement in the world of digital play, and we are pleased to be investing in Epic Games to support their continued growth journey, with a long-term focus toward the future metaverse.”

About Venus
According to CryptoCompare, “Venus Protocol (“Venus”) is an algorithmic-based money market system designed to bring a complete decentralized finance-based lending and credit system onto Binance Smart Chain. Venus enables users to utilize their cryptocurrencies by supplying collateral to the network that may be borrowed by pledging over-collateralized cryptocurrencies. This creates a secure lending environment where the lender receives a compounded interest rate annually (APY) paid per block, while the borrower pays interest on the cryptocurrency borrowed. These interest rates are set by the protocol in a curve yield, where the rates are automated based on the demand of the specific market, such as Bitcoin. “
Buying and Selling Venus
It is usually not possible to buy alternative cryptocurrencies such as Venus directly using U.S. dollars. Investors seeking to acquire Venus should first buy Ethereum or Bitcoin using an exchange that deals in U.S. dollars such as Coinbase, Changelly or Gemini. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Ethereum or Bitcoin to buy Venus using one of the aforementioned exchanges.
