Bale in the spotlight ahead of Madrid’s game against Chelsea
Just about everything has been going Real Madrid’s way recently, in the Spanish league and the Champions League.
Not even the resounding 4-0 loss to Barcelona in the “clásico” at home a few weeks ago was enough to knock the Spanish league leaders off track.
But heading into Tuesday’s second leg against Chelsea in the Champions League quarterfinals, when Madrid will defend a 3-1 lead from the first match in London, some of the team’s focus was being directed toward Gareth Bale and his old feud with fans.
The 32-year-old Bale, who spent last season on loan at former club Tottenham, was loudly jeered by the Madrid crowd at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium after coming off the bench in the team’s 2-0 win over Getafe in the Spanish league on Saturday. Players and coach Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t avoid talking about it.
“When you jeer a player, you are jeering all of us,” Madrid midfielder Casemiro said Monday. “I didn’t like it because Bale is a historic player for this club. He has scored a lot of important goals for this club. When you jeer a player like him, you are jeering the history of this club. I hope that the fans will support all of us and will get excited about the game tomorrow. We need their support.”
Ancelotti, who included Bale in the squad for the second leg, had already talked about the importance of having fans and players on the same page.
“In a moment like this in the season, when we need every player, the unity between fans and the squad is a very important aspect,” Ancelotti said after the match against Getafe. “Bale is well, he has been practicing and wants to play and help the team, that’s the most important thing.”
Bale has long been at odds with Madrid fans, who feel he hasn’t made the club a priority and instead focuses on Wales’ national team. Many fans and Spanish media say Bale failed to consistently perform to his potential since joining the club in 2013 for a then-world record 100 million euros (then $132 million).
“It’s tough,” veteran Madrid left back Marcelo said. “We are all important. At the end of the season, when we are playing for a lot of important things, we need to be united. The fans have to help us. But it is what it is and we have to remain calm. It’s a bit sad, but we have to keep working hard and move on.”
Bale last month spoke out against the psychological harm that professional athletes can receive from the media after a leading Spanish sports daily published a column entitled “The Welsh Parasite.” Bale accused the media of “encouraging anger and disappointment in fans.”
Bale helped Madrid win four European titles, scoring in the 2014 and 2018 Champions League finals. He has made only seven appearances and scored one goal with Madrid this season, though, while with Wales he has five goals in six matches.
Madrid will be back at the Bernabéu after having to play the home match against Chelsea in last year’s Champions League semifinals at the small Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium at the team’s training center because of major renovation work. Madrid drew that game 1-1 before losing 2-0 in London.
Madrid rallied past Paris Saint-Germain at the Bernabéu 3-1 to overturn a 1-0 loss in Paris in the round of 16. Karim Benzema scored a hat trick in that game, and the red-hot France striker got another three-goal performance in the first leg against Chelsea last week.
Madrid hadn’t lost in 14 consecutive matches at home before falling to Barcelona in the Spanish league in March.
“We didn’t lose our focus after the Barcelona loss,” Ancelotti said. “We handled the situation well.”
Madrid still has a 12-point league lead over Barcelona with seven matches to go, though the Catalan club has a game in hand.
Ancelotti rested Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the win against Getafe, and the coach said left back Ferland Mendy is expected to return to the starting lineup against Chelsea after recovering from a muscle problem. He will not count on suspended central defender Éder Militão, however.
Madrid has won 34 of its last 36 two-legged series in UEFA competitions, but it conceded more than three goals at home against Ajax in the round of 16 of the Champions League in 2019. The team lost 4-1 at the Bernabéu after a 2-1 win away and was eliminated.

Scheffler a Masters champion and never saw it coming
Scottie Scheffler wanted to be a professional golfer for so long he wore trousers to lessons at Royal Oaks in Dallas and even at junior tournaments, no matter how stifling the Texas heat.
He just never imagined how he would look in a green jacket.
Winning the Masters is the dream of any junior golfer, particularly in Texas with its heritage of champions from Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan to Ben Crenshaw and Charles Coody to most recently Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.
Scheffler was no ordinary kid, and that much hasn’t changed.
“I’ve never been a guy that likes to look too far into the future,” Scheffler said Sunday evening, still trying to grasp the magnitude of his three-shot victory at Augusta National.
Tiger Woods spoke over the weekend of that window of time when a player gets hot, whether it was Fred Couples in 1992 or Woods on more occasions than he can remember. The hope is that window includes a major on the calendar, and Scheffler’s run came at an ideal time.
He won the Phoenix Open, at Bay Hill and at the Match Play in a span of seven weeks. The last one sent him to No. 1 in the world, and the next stop was Augusta.
But as he sat in Butler Cabin, waiting to slip into the green jacket for the first time, he was asked when he first dreamed about such as occasion.
“Probably the first time it popped into my mind was Friday in the afternoon, after we got done,” Scheffler replied.
“Really?” came the response.
Yes, really. Scheffler has talked for the past two months about only wanting a chance to compete. That was the dream. What brought him to tears was getting his first invitation in the mail when he qualified for his first Masters that was moved to November in 2020.
Winning the Masters? Only after he built a five-shot lead after the second round, and held on for a three-shot lead going into the final day.
Scheffler is all about competing. That hasn’t changed.
Randy Smith can spin yarns about seeing Scheffler at age 10 sitting on the range at Royal Oaks as he watched and listened to tour pros shape shots and talk. And then he would challenge them to short-game contests or on the putting greens, and if he wasn’t taking money off them, he was putting a dent in their egos.
“He was a gamer,” said Will Zalatoris, who grew up in the Dallas area with Scheffler. “He wore pants to every tournament even if it was 110 degrees. He tried to be a professional at a young age, and obviously seeing what he is doing now, it’s pretty cool on my part to see it.”
That short game was a big part of his Masters victory. The final margin was closer than it really was. Scheffler had a five-shot lead and finally took off his blinders to soak up the atmosphere, and then absent-mindedly four-putted for a double bogey. He shot 71 instead of 69. He won by three instead of five. Those are just numbers in a record book.
Cameron Smith made a quick run with birdies on the opening two holes that cut the lead to one shot, and Scheffler responded with perhaps the most significant shot of the final round. His chip up the steep slope on No. 3 rattled against the pin and dropped for birdie, and Smith’s bogey made it a two-shot swing.
Overlooked was the up-and-down from behind the first green — one of the worst spots to be at Augusta, especially for someone trying to win their first major — and the pitch from long and left at the par-3 fourth.
“If I was to pick one part of my game that excelled the most, I would say it was probably my lob wedge,” Scheffler said. “Even today, I had some really good up-and-downs in the beginning of the round and then just kept myself in position.”
He didn’t get quarters for some of his big putts, only pars, and those were worth plenty.
After starting the back nine with a careless bogey from the fairway, Scheffler missed the 11th green to the right and pitched to 7 feet. Smith made birdie, and Scheffler rolled in his par putt to keep the lead at three shots.
It was like that all day — all week, really.
Before long, all that was left was a walk up the 18th fairway, a trip to Butler Cabin, the green jacket. It’s the stuff of dreams, even if they were never his.
Scheffler is No. 1 by some margin, and no one can doubt he earned the ranking with the quality of his wins — a World Golf Championship, a major, a variety of courses and tests.
“You get on those hot streaks, and you just got to ride them out because they, unfortunately, don’t last forever,” Justin Thomas said. “But he is doing it in the biggest tournaments. It’s not like he is going and winning small events or Bahamas where it’s 20 people. He is winning WGCs. He is winning a major now.
“It’s really, really impressive to see someone that young handle a moment this big so easily.”
What next?
“I want to go home,” Scheffler said with his distinctive laugh. “I’m pretty tired right now.”

BOSTON (CBS) — Who is the closer of the Boston Red Sox? It’s a question without an answer right now. But it’s a mystery that doesn’t exactly have members of the bullpen losing any sleep.
That’s at least the takeaway from Jake Diekman, the veteran reliever who recorded the season’s first save in the Red Sox’ first victory of the 2022 season on Sunday night in New York. Diekman earned that save in emphatic fashion, getting Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Joey Gallo to strike out in order, preserving the 4-3 win for Boston.

After the game, Diekman was asked if he wants to be the closer. His answer was incredible.
“I don’t really give two [poops],” Diekman told MLB.com’s Ian Browne.
When asked if that answer could be quoted, Diekman replied, “Yeah, do it, I don’t really care.”
Fair enough!
Diekman made up for a lackluster debut on Friday, when he hit the first batter he faced before inducing a ground out and then issuing an intentional walk before departing the game in the 10th inning.
In his 11-year career with the Phillies, Rangers, Diamondbacks, Royals, A’s and now Red Sox, he’s recorded just 15 saves. But he did have a career-high seven saves last season for Oakland, proving that he’s capable of at least being able to fill the role when needed at times.
Just don’t ask him to add the label of closer. He’s clearly not interested.

During the holy month, many healthcare professionals are busy performing their duties when they should be with their families during Suhoor and Iftar
Ramadan 20221 day ago
In support of the 1 Billion Meals initiative, a 'Giving Challenge' has now been launched to raise funds to provide food support to the needy in 50 countries during the holy month of Ramadan.
More than 105 government entities, companies, schools individuals and educational institutions in the UAE will participate. The Giving Challenge is a competitive initiative for employees, students and individuals, and aims to help stimulate a community movement.
Through the platform, a portfolio will be allocated to each participating institution, company or school, and challenge participants will be able to donate by choosing any amount they specify to contribute to their portfolio’s total. These challenges will create a spirit of competition and motivate greater efforts to reach the campaign’s funding total.
YallaGive, the smart digital platform, provides every institution, company or school with options to introduce its employees, faculty and students to the 1 Billion Meals initiative and its global scope of work. The platform also allows each institution or company to set a specific fundraising goal – such as Dh200,000 – and so creating an exciting, community-minded approach to achieving these important humanitarian goals.
Dr Abdulla Al Karam, Director-General of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), said: “The education community in Dubai is known for its generosity and its willingness to come together to help others. We know from experience that we can make a significant positive impact when we work together towards a common goal. We’re proud to take part in an initiative that will have long-lasting benefit to the lives of others, and to be able to accomplish this with our education community.”

Helping the communities we serve is one of our key values, and we’re extending our support to this worthy cause, together with our colleagues, partners and guests.”
Professor Clayton MacKenzie, Provost and Chief Academic Office at Zayed University, said: “Kindness and supporting the global community is a deep-rooted trait of the UAE - that stems from the values of our Founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed. He was a symbol of love, generosity, and tolerance, and as an academic institution that is named after a visionary humanitarian, we aim to continue to honor his legacy.”
He added: “The Zayed University community and alumni have come together to serve towards a common goal that will reach 50 countries around the globe. We are truly grateful to the Mohammed bin Rashid Global Initiatives and all the organizers for their efforts in facilitating this campaign and urging the nation in participating towards this humanitarian cause that offers aid to the neediest people.”
Dr Rabaa Al Sumaiti, Director-General of the Emirates Schools Establishment, said: “The 1 Billion Meals initiative, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, translates the values and nobility of the UAE, and the good it carries for all humanity, in light of difficult living conditions surrounding entire societies in many countries.”
She added: “The UAE has become a global pioneer in humanitarian efforts. It is a model for giving, inspired by the Islamic values, especially as we live through the Holy Month of Ramadan and its grand meanings that urge giving and extending a helping hand to those in need.”
Eng. Dawood Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said: “During the Holy Month of Ramadan, the month of good deeds, we participate in the region’s largest initiative launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, by providing one billion meals to the undernourished and underprivileged in 50 different countries."
Abdullah Al Nuaimi, Yalla Give CEO, said: "For the third year in a row, YallaGive, as an online fundraising platform, is honored to be supporting the largest food distribution campaign in the region. Through the 1 Billion Meals initiative, YallaGive reaffirms its commitment to empowering and engaging individuals, schools and the business sector to collectively and innovatively contribute to global humanitarian initiatives in accordance with local legislation."

Ashland University football wraps up spring camp with annual Purple and Gold scrimmage
ASHLAND — The Ashland University football team finished its work Saturday afternoon right where it spent most of its time this spring — indoors.
With the weather outside alternating from rain to sleet to snow and occasional sun, the Eagles wrapped up spring camp with the annual Purple and Gold scrimmage in the new indoor practice facility adjacent to Jack Miller Stadium.
Scoring on its final possession, the offense prevailed over the defense 52-49. Running back Patrick Blubaugh, who was named the Gridiron Club’s offensive player of the game, scored the final touchdown for the offense.

Defensive lineman Dalton White, who had a fumble recovery, was named the defensive player of the game.
“The defense had won one (scrimmage during the spring), offense had won one, so it was best two-out-of-three and it goes 52-49,” AU coach Lee Owens said. “And we had to convert a fourth down and make the kick to beat the defense. It was good to see it be competitive.”
Owens said the Eagles took full advantage of the new indoor digs, practicing there 13 of the allowed 15 spring practices. Quarterback Trent Maddox, who got the call as a starter last fall when veteran Austin Brenner went down with a leg injury, called that a game changer.
“Honestly, with this Ohio weather, we can come in here whenever,” Maddox said. “We can come in here in winter and throw on our own. We’re not throwing in the gym anymore. We’re actually getting real quality reps on a turf field.”
Coming off a 5-5 season in the team's first year as a member of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, Owens said the goal during the spring is to improve and be competitive in each and every practice.

“I want our guys to come out and compete every day,” he said. “All 15 practices. We did that right up until the spring game. This was probably the most competitive spring game we’ve had. The guys played hard. They wanted to win this thing today.
“We want to keep everybody healthy, and that happened. We wanted to see some depth, and that happened.
“We had some kickers miss kicks that we need to see if they can make kicks under pressure, but Tuesday and Thursday we worked hard on the rest of our kicking game, and we were able to continue to evaluate even with this scrimmage.”
On the offensive side of the ball, Owens quickly mentioned returning G-MAC first team guard Nehemiah Cannon as a “whole different player out there. He’s really looked good.”
And he also pointed out the depth among the skill position players.
“I think Geo (running back Gei’vonni Washington, a G-MAC first-team pick last season) is back to his form and so is Larry (Martin) at the running back position,” Owens said. “We have depth at the wide receiver position like we haven’t had before. We have depth at quarterback like we haven’t had before. We had some guys play like they’re supposed to play, and that was exciting to see.”
Maddox praised freshman center Ethan Enders as someone who “truly had a great spring” and also liked what he saw out of the rest of the offense.
“In the spring we have a lot of opportunity to just practice, get better, time stuff up,” Maddox said. “In the spring we get to work on our craft, get indoors and throw routes on air, work on our timing, work on our footwork, that kind of stuff.
“I think the receiving corps as a whole, that’s a veteran group, and they only got better. The running back group, too. We’ve got four or five running backs that are really, really good. Honestly the whole offense was really impressive for sure.”
Significant milestone: Ashland University baseball celebrates 100 years as a program
While the defense fell a little bit short Saturday, the Eagles will be led in the fall by linebacker Michael Ayers, an all-league first-team selection and the returning G-MAC Defensive Player of the Year. As a junior, Ayers recorded 100 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, three sacks, forced two fumbles and recovered one.
“We have one of the best defenses in the nation,” Maddox said. “They mix it up. They give us fits at practice all the time.
“We get better as an offense because their defense is so solid. I love playing against those guys. They only make us better.”
With spring work concluded, the Eagles will return for training camp in August. The first game of the 2022 season is the home opener Thursday, Sept. 1, against Notre Dame College.

Thanks to Robert Kraft, the pressure is on the Patriots to replicate the success they found in last year’s NFL draft.
But how will New England approach the 2022 draft? What are Bill Belichick’s plans for the 21st overall pick?
Obviously, those questions won’t be answered until the draft concludes later this month. But NFL insider Mike Giardi offered some insight over the weekend in a lengthy Twitter thread.
This excerpt is particularly noteworthy:
“Don’t be surprised if the Patriots go w/a big body if they stay at #21,” Giardi tweeted Sunday. “They’ve spent a lot of time with some of the top prospects, from tackles Trevor Penning & Bernhard Raimann to interior players Zion Johnson & Kenyon Green. They have a hole at LG and future tackle issues.”
And here’s the full thread from Giardi, who added New England still could go with a “big body” even if were to trade down to later in Round 1.
Got all that?
The Patriots have put in some underrated work this offseason, but they still have various short- and long-term needs to fill via the draft. Offensive tackle, offensive guard, slot receiver, linebacker and cornerback all need addressing.
We made our own predictions for how the Patriots might handle the 2022 NFL Draft in our latest mock draft, which you can view via the link below.

Nearly 40% of Consumers in those Generations Say They Lack the Confidence to Take on Solo DIY Projects
MT. PROSPECT, Ill., April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With "before times" normalcy off the table, consumers have settled into a home-centered approach to living[1], with both Millennials and Gen Zers seeing their homes, from college dorm rooms to studio apartments, or a colonial in the suburbs, as a refuge from the outside world. While 64 percent of young consumers said they are more interested in home improvement now than before COVID-19[2], nearly 40 percent said their lack of confidence impedes them from taking on DIY projects[3].
That's why today, Dremel has launched a new brand campaign to inspire the next generation of DIYers – Millennials and Gen Zers – and help them find the courage to take on projects big or small. From trimming a dog's nails to replacing a cracked bathroom tile and more, Dremel has a simple message: You Got This!
"Through the "You Got This" campaign, we are giving this new class of DIYers the inspiration to unlock their creativity. Gen Z specifically is one of the most artistic generations yet, as the value of creativity among this group over-indexes and ranks 40 points higher[4] than the general population," said Sonesh Shah, Dremel Global President. "With our high-quality versatile products, expertise and after sale support, we are here to coach them as they work through creative and DIY projects around the home."
In other aspects of their lives, these "new DIYers" don't require much hand holding. Millennials and Gen Zers have been self-educating for years—mastering the art of the smoky eye or coding their own websites. According to research conducted by MRI[5] who surveyed Millennials and Gen Zers that describe themselves as altruistic/purpose-driven and creative minded, said they're also willing to extend that passion to their home.
- 75 percent are always looking for new ways to improve their home
- 72 percent enjoy DIY projects
- 69 percent like to make things themselves
- 56 percent of Gen Z/Millennials say everything in their home should be beautiful, so it looks good in pictures for social media
With Dremel's new vibrant ad campaign, the brand brings confidence to life through three ad spots titled, Tub, Mirror and New Place. The campaign includes a series of :15 and :06 second spots and mix of social media assets. The ads showcase a range of creative and functional DIY and home improvement tasks, from polishing a thrifted find to removing a nail in order to hang a vintage mirror, ultimately giving people the courage to pick up a Dremel tool and let their inner DIYer shine.
For 90 years, Dremel has been helping crafters, hobbyists, and home improvement enthusiasts of all skill levels unlock their creativity for generations. With more than 150 long-lasting accessories and 20 attachments, there's a Dremel tool combination available for virtually any project, no matter the complexity.

South Korea hires SpaceX to launch five spy satellites by 2025
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has signed a contract with SpaceX to launch five spy satellites by 2025, with the first launch on a Falcon 9 rocket by the end of 2023.
A spokeswoman for the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) confirmed the deal April 11, saying the 2023 launch would deliver an 800-kilogram electro-optical infrared satellite to low Earth orbit.
“The deal was made to launch five satellites involved in the ‘425 project,’” DAPA spokeswoman Park Geun-young told SpaceNews, referring to a space-based reconnaissance project the defense ministry launched in 2018 for closer monitoring of North Korea’s military activities. Under the project, five satellites — four synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites and one featuring an electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) telescope — will be launched to low Earth orbit between 600 and 700 km by 2025, enabling South Korea’s military to observe the nuclear-armed neighbor’s key military facilities every two hours with 30-50 centimeters resolution imagery, according to a 2019 report produced by the Korea Institute of S&T Evaluation and Planning. The spokeswoman declined to share the terms and conditions of the deal, as well as launch schedules for the other four satellites.
The Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) have led the $970 million project as primary contractors. Under the technical assistance from Europe’s Thales Alenia Space, ADD has worked with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and Hanwha Systems to develop the four SAR satellites. KARI has developed the EO/IR satellite.
It is the second time South Korea has hired SpaceX to carry out a space-based military mission. In the first project, conducted in July 2020, a SpaceX Falcon 9 put South Korea’s first military communications satellite, code-named Anasis-2, into geostationary Earth orbit. The Anasis-2 satellite was manufactured in France by Airbus Defence and Space as part of an offset obligation related to a $7 billion sale of U.S. F-35 fighter jets to South Korea in 2014. Under the terms of the deal, F-35 manufacturer Lockheed Martin agreed to procure a telecommunications satellite for South Korea.

Arizona Inmates Complete Training for New Healthy Forest Crew
By CN Staff
PHOENIX—More than one hundred Arizona inmates graduated on March 30 after completing training to become members of the first Arizona Healthy Forest Initiative crew. As part of this new program to combat wildfires, the inmates attended classroom and field training at the Fort Grant Unit at ASPC-Safford, where they learned how to manage hazardous vegetation across the state’s vast terrain. Learning these valuable skills will assist inmates to build better lives upon release.
“Wildfires pose a serious threat to Arizona communities every year,” said Governor Doug Ducey. “Our proactive Arizona Healthy Forest Initiative is a major step to help reduce wildfire risk and protect our communities.”
Last year, Governor Doug Ducey signed legislation establishing the Arizona Healthy Forest Initiative. Through a partnership between the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry and the Department of Forestry and Fire Management, low-risk inmates are employed to clear forests of debris and help prevent wildfires.
“With today’s inaugural graduation of more than 100 inmates, we have reached an important milestone in establishing a crucial part of the Healthy Forest Initiative that will help mitigate wildfires across the state,” said ADCRR Director David Shinn. “I am grateful to Governor Doug Ducey and our partners at the Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) as we continue to work together on this historic initiative that will provide additional resources to reduce both wildfires and recidivism by offering meaningful job skills training for inmates to create successful employment opportunities upon release.”
The crew members have just begun their new jobs and are working with machinery and equipment used in the forestry industry.
“The Healthy Forest Initiative is Governor Ducey and Arizona taking the lead on reducing fuels and lessening the impact of wildfires. The training of these crews is another example of Arizona stepping up to protect homes, communities, and our wildlands from the threat of fire. We are happy to have all of these trainees on board,” said DFFM Director David Tenney.
Currently, more than 194 inmates are participating in an existing ADCRR-DFFM program as Wildland Fire Crew members. The crews, deployed under the direction of DFFM and ADCRR staff, are all trained to be wildland firefighters.

Joshua Pacio, just like the rest of the mixed martial arts community, was enthralled when he watched Demetrious Johnson take on Muay Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon in a mixed-rules fight in ONE X.
The ONE strawweight world champion was one of those people who was so intrigued by the fight, that he wants to join in. His request, however, is a bit different.
In an interview with ONE Championship, Pacio said he wants a 12-minute grappling match against Johnson. DJ's fight against Rodtang, the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, featured alternating rounds between Muay Thai and MMA.
Pacio said he’d like to engage 'Mighty Mouse', who's considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, in what would be one of the greatest moments of his professional career.
‘The Passion’ said:
“For me, I really want to grapple with DJ. Maybe we can do submission grappling. I want to test myself against him in a straight 12-minute grappling match. I think that would be the most unforgettable 12 minutes of my life."
While his stable Team Lakay is known for its striking, Pacio has proven himself to be one of the most well-rounded fighters in ONE Championship.
The 26-year-old boasts 19 victories in his career, nine of which came by way of submission. His submission tally is also two more than the seven knockouts under his name.
“I’ll prepare for it. I’ll make sure that it won’t be a walk in the park, and I’m excited to showcase my grappling skills against him. At the same time, I’ll also learn from the GOAT,” said Joshua Pacio.
Joshua Pacio wants to push the mixed-rules bout even higher
Johnson and Rodtang’s mixed rules fight at ONE X had the first and third rounds under Muay Thai rules, while the second and fourth had the MMA ruleset.
Joshua Pacio wants to elevate that even further.
The Filipino fighter said that if he ever features in a mixed-rules match, he wants each of the four rounds to be fought under different rulesets. He also wants his Team Lakay teammates Lito Adiwang and Danny Kingad to join in the fun.
“Maybe we can even change it up to round one pure striking, round two pure grappling, and then round three wrestling, and then the fourth would be MMA. That would be great, right? I want to feel that. And not only me – [my Team Lakay teammates] Lito and Danny would also want to experience it.”
Fans would no doubt look forward to more innovative bouts in ONE Championship, like the one Pacio is proposing.

Johan Cruyff – NOS reflects on Wel.nl’s 75th birthday online and on TV
On April 25, Johan Cruyff’s 75th birthday, NOS reflects the birthday of the best Dutch footballer on various channels. Various documentaries, pieces and podcasts focus on issues not well known to the general public.
From Thursday 14th April, fourteen Cruijff pieces never seen before will be used and shared on the NOS website. For example, a piece shows a conversation Groef had with former teammate Thomas Rongan about his time in the United States.
On Saturday, April 16th, NOS Studio Sport will feature a special broadcast featuring unique film material, including old black and white images that were specially colored for the event. Films like the meeting between Groove and current Ajax coach Eric Den Hawk pass here as well.
Then there is the podcast of The Other Times Sport: D Unknown Cruyff. In this four-part series, many little-known pages from Cruyff’s life and football life are highlighted. Four episodes ago, in what became known as ‘Zero Episode’, presenter Tom Xpers, who did a lot of work with Grozf for NOS, reflected on his own experiences and encounters with the former footballer. Xpress introduces each regular episode.

Jockstrap, the London-based duo of Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye, are back with a new song. “Concrete Over Water” debuted earlier today on Lauren Laverne’s BBC Radio 6 Music Breakfast show. The single arrives with an acrobatic video directed by the band and Eddie Whelan. Check it out below.
Of the track, Ellery said in press materials:
The song is “a hint” of Jockstrap’s forthcoming debut album, according to a press release. The LP will be issued on the duo’s new label home, Rough Trade. Jockstrap released their second EP, Wicked City, back in 2020. Last year, the group dropped a new song called “50/50.”

A memorable season recently concluded, but it’s never too early to take a sneak peek at next year.
Individual players will step up and emerge as the spring and summer plays out, and we will get a better feel for teams in June. But here is a way-too-early top 10 (listed alphabetically) for a season that is still many months away.
Brother Rice
Everyone returns from a team that won 24 games this past season, headlined by all-area point guard Ahmad Henderson (15.2 ppg). He’s led the Crusaders in scoring in each of the past two seasons.
A plethora of returning juniors will be joining Henderson, including perimeter scorer Nick Niego (10.5 ppg), 6-3 Peter McShane (7.3 ppg) and some size and length with 6-6 Khalil Ross (10.5 ppg), 6-6 Ryan Kenney (4 ppg) and 6-6 Jayden Watson (6.5 ppg).
The sophomores won the Catholic League and finished 24-4 overall while sophomore guard Tre Dowdell averaged 5.3 points at the varsity level.
Curie
When you look at the record (26-7) and accomplishments of the past season, it could be argued coach Mike Oliver’s team overachieved a bit.
The Condors will have a lot back, including unheralded but impactful Jeremy Harrington. While the 6-5 junior was the backbone of this year’s team, sophomore guard Carlos Harris has the look of an emerging star in the city.
Big man Chikasi Ofoma, a physical presence inside at 6-7, and guard Shawn Brown are two other returning starters.
Hillcrest
Aside from a sectional upset loss to Lemont, everything went just about perfect for the Hawks this past season while winning 26 games, especially considering coach Don Houston didn’t return a single starter.
But next year there will be a wealth of experience returning.
The Hawks will have an abundance of size up front with a pair of returning 6-7 juniors, Matthew Moore and Darrion Baker, along with 6-4 sophomore Nyzir Duncan. All three either started or played major minutes this past season.
The backcourt is set with junior Bryce Tillery and up-and-coming sophomore Isaiah Green, who were both double-figure scorers this past season.
Kenwood
Fresh off winning the first sectional title in program history, coach Mike Irvin has a bonafide state title contender returning.
There is a surplus of overall talent and big-name prospects in the program, including two of the best juniors, dynamic scoring guard Darrin Ames and versatile 6-7 Davius Loury, in the state. Freshman Bryce Heard is on the verge of becoming a young star.
Lake Forest
Quietly, coach Phil LaScala’s team won 27 games this season, including a 13-1 mark in the North Suburban Conference. Lake Forest’s season ended with a sectional championship game loss to St. Patrick.
The Scouts return arguably the best returning shooter in the state in 6-6 Asa Thomas, one of the top players in the state with high-major offers. The supporting cast will be strong with the return of sophomores Tommie Aberle and Bolurin Taiwo and junior Anthony Mordini.
Lemont
This team arrived a bit early, winning regional and sectional titles without a senior contributing in a significant way.
There is pivotal backcourt experience with Rokas Castillo and Matas Castillo and a budding star in sophomore Nojus Indrusaitis. Surround those three with valuable role players who gained a ton of big-game experience late in the season and Lemont enters next year with some lofty expectations.
Rolling Meadows
Even with the departure of last year’s Player of the Year, Max Christie, the Mustangs still rolled to 28 wins and a regional title behind junior Cameron Christie.
It stung to have the season end in a blowout loss to New Trier in the sectional, but next year could be the best team coach Kevin Katovich will have during this six-year run of Christie brother basketball in Rolling Meadows.
While the loss of senior Orlando Thomas will be felt, Cameron Christie returns as one of the elite players in the state. Plus, 6-4 big man Foster Ogbonna will be a seasoned veteran next year and there is a ton of upside in the return of 6-6 freshman Ian Miletic, 6-7 junior Mark Nikolich-Wilson and 6-7 junior Tsvet Sotirov.
Simeon
The progress and growth of big men Miles Rubin and Wesley Rubin over the past year has been quite measurable. If the 6-8 juniors make a similar jump over the next year the Wolverines will boast a game-altering frontline.
Jalen Griffith will take on more responsibility and a bigger role in the backcourt with the departure of Jaylen Drane and Aviyon Morris. And keep an eye on a pair of youngsters, freshman Ameer Morrow and sophomore Kenric Mosby coming up from the lower levels.
St. Rita
After finally getting a full season of development and continuity under its belt, coach Roshawn Russell’s team is set to take a significant step.
When you bring back the top two prospects in the Class of 2023, a pair of future high-major players, it’s a heck of a start. Yes, it all begins with the talented tandem of 6-9 James Brown and 6-8 Morez Johnson.
Kaiden Space will be a seasoned senior at point guard while promising freshman Melvin Bell will be a star sophomore.
Young
The loss of a pair of all-state 6-8 players in AJ Casey and Xavier Amos will certainly be felt for the Class 4A state runner-up. But the firepower is still there for the Dolphins to be one of the best teams in the state, starting with returning point guard Dalen Davis.
Both 6-6 Daniel Johnson and physical guard Marcus Pigram are Division I prospects and return, while talented freshman Antonio Munoz will add a new dimension next season.

Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE: Sierra Leone Telegraph: 11 April 2022:
One of the initially unintentional but now incredibly important consequences of me serving as Mayor of Freetown, our capital city, is the inspiration this provides to many girls and young women across the country.
Over the past four years, I have been humbled by the numerous times that girls and young women have reached out to me privately and at public events to tell me that they believe they can achieve their dreams because they see me and other women in leadership.
Motivated by these girls and young women, I established the YAS Girl’s Leadership Foundation in January this year to enable me to be more intentional about playing my part in inspiring our future female leaders.
On Friday 11th February, the YAS Girls’ Leadership Foundation rolled out its first project; the ”Give Her Wings, Watch Her Fly” school tour. Funded by CIRHT, and in my personal capacity, I am engaging girls on various issues impacting on leadership, the power of female voices and how issues affecting health and mental wellbeing can be addressed.
The first stop in this 6-month school tour cycle was Kambia District where we engaged girls from Kollenten Secondary School, Sunday Girls Foundation Secondary School and the Linda Koroma Secondary School.
The school tour was in Port Loko on 18th March with girls from Schelenker School, Islamic Secondary School and Port Loko Catholic Secondary School. And this Friday 8th April we had an amazing time in Kamakwei with girls from the Wesleyan Secondary School and the SLMB Secondary School.
During the interactive sessions with the girls, I encourage them to express their dreams for the future. And they have big dreams! They want to become lawyers, doctors, teachers, astronomers, accountants, mayors and even presidents!
The discussions then cover the many challenges faced by girls. Consistent issues are early marriage, teenage pregnancy, lack of financial support, sexual harassment, victimization and conflicts between studies and domestic responsibilities.
The sessions reaffirm the commitment of the YAS Girl’s Leadership Foundation to ensure that the women and girls who make up 51% of Sierra Leone’s population, can truly fulfil their potential.
In my talks I proposed that three “Wings” needed to allow our girls to fly are:
– Prioritize your education
– Believe in yourself; and
– Persevere through challenges
Scholarships of Le1 million are then awarded to each of the top performing SS2 students of the participating schools to further motivate the girls. And we all have a great time singing the inspirational words of the theme song led by singer/songwriter Cllr Natasha Beckley of Port Loko City Council!
I am grateful to all the school principals and teachers for their enthusiasm and support. I am also truly grateful to my colleague Mayors and District Council Chairmen who have been excellent hosts and a huge encouragement to me.
But my greatest thanks go to all the amazing girls I have met in the various districts who are so passionate about their futures, about fulfilling their dreams and about making a positive mark on our society. We stand by them.

Abstract
Hazardous material transportation is a significant issue in relation to both environment and humanity. In recent years, studies and attempts to minimize the risks of hazardous material transportation or selection of transportation mode to reduce potential hazards have increased. This study aims to evaluate the hazards arising from each stage of hazardous material transport modes and the risks arising from these hazards with an integrated approach simultaneously. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is used to evaluate hazardous material transportation modes with their stage components; probabilities of potential hazards are calculated for the risks arising from those hazards and evaluated with The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach. Last, to determine the critical levels of transportation modes, calculated risk scores and parameters that affect those transportation modes, such as speed, cost, and capacity, are assessed with Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and DEMATEL approach. Ultimately, critical levels of transportation modes are ranked as highway, marine and inland, airway, and railway.

Abstract
Bike share programs are becoming increasingly popular across U.S. cities. However, their impact on persistent disparities in cycling by gender, race, and socioeconomic status remains understudied. We examined whether subscribers of Citi Bike, New York City's (NYC) largest bike share program, reflect the sociodemographic profile of NYC cyclists. Using NYC Community Health Survey data, we described adult NYC residents of neighborhoods with ≥1 Citi Bike stations who rode a bicycle at least once a month. Citi Bike members were also described using first-time subscriber survey data. We compared the sociodemographic characteristics of these groups via a z-score with pooled variance. Approximately 2.2 million residents lived in 15 NYC neighborhoods with ≥1 Citi Bike station, and 449,000 (20.5%) reported cycling at least once a month in the past 12 months. Among first-time Citi Bike subscribers, 23,223 (11.5%) completed the survey. Compared with NYC cyclists, Citi Bike subscribers were more likely to be women, aged 24 to 45, White, college graduates, and from a household with an income >400% than the poverty level. Compared with the general population, cyclists were more likely to be White, male, and from a household with an income >400% than the poverty level. Race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (not gender) disparities were larger among Citi Bike subscribers than NYC cyclists. With the emergence of cycling as an alternative transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic and the extension of bike share programs, this highlights the need for ongoing, systematic monitoring of bike share user socioeconomic characteristics to evaluate equitable use and access.

RIYADH: The city of Riyadh topped the rental index report for Saudi Arabia for the second month in a row, taking over 31 percent of the total rental deals registered, according to Ejar monthly report.
Jeddah came in second with more than 19 percent, followed by Dammam with 6 percent, then Makkah Al-Mukarramah by more than 4 percent, Al-Madinah Al-Munawwara and Al-Khobar closely followed with more than 3 percent.
The deals were based on residential and commercial lease contracts concluded during March and recorded in a rental database, which was distributed among the cities included in the rental index.
The rental index aims to facilitate transparency in the rental market in the Kingdom by determining specific indicators for cities, neighborhoods and different types of real estate, both residential and commercial.
The service uses interactive maps as well as the "rental indicator," to enable beneficiaries to search for appropriate options that suit their needs, and to facilitate searches within the cities and neighborhoods covered by the service, which can be accessed through the "Sakani" platform.

Washington [US], April 11 (ANI): Ahead of a virtual meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, United States President Joe Biden on Monday said that he is looking forward to further deepening ties between governments and people of the two countries.
"This morning, I'm meeting virtually with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. I look forward to further deepening ties between our governments, economies, and people," Biden said in a tweet.
PM Modi and Biden would discuss a range of issues including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis, global economy and Indo-Pacific.
"President Biden and Prime Minister Modi will discuss cooperation on a range of issues including ending the COVID-19 pandemic, countering the climate crisis, strengthening the global economy, and upholding a free, open, rules-based international order to bolster security, democracy, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had said on Sunday.

Both the leaders will also advance ongoing conversations about the development of an Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and delivering high-quality infrastructure.
The White House statement said that President Biden will continue close consultations on the consequences of Russia's war against Ukraine and mitigating its destabilizing impact on global food supply and commodity markets.
The meeting will precede the US-India 2+2 Ministerial between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin and External Affairs Minister Dr Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. (ANI)

Ten year-old Maia Bombrys is flexing her entrepreneurial skills with fundraising efforts for Ukrainian aid charity, Sunflower Scotland, and has already broken her initial target of raising £1,000.
On Sunday, Maia, along with her friend Katarina Steele, raised £549.20 at the Coffee Morning held at Starbucks Fountainbridge, smashing through her £1,000 goal. This is a charity close to her heart as her mother, Anastasia, is Belarusian/Ukrainian.
First Maia took a stall at Tesco in Musselburgh where she sold T-shirts, jewellery and home made cakes, making £767.06 for the charity. Since then she has replenished her stock with new items supplied by Hiroko Macfadyen, a Japanese jewellery maker who lives in Musselburgh making her own jewellery range by hand.
Some of the new stock came from the US where Maia’s paternal grandparents live. While they were visiting Florida they related the story of their granddaughter’s fund-raising efforts to a Vietnamese shop owner and she gave them some jewellery from her store for the schoolgirl to sell for charity.
When this stock is at an end Maia might make her own jewellery to sell, but meantime she has many T-shirts available.
In total the Sunflower Scotland charity raised £1585.87 at their event on Sunday and already have plans for their next event. Ian Anderson who is the General Manager of Fountainpark Entertainment Centre offered the charity the use of the space at Starbucks where they sold cakes, tablet, jewellery including the fundraising flash “Hame” pins and Sunflower T-shirts.
Mr Anderson and his wife are privately sponsoring the full cost of a lorry going to Ukraine, and he persuaded another occupier of a unit at Fountainpark, Funstation, to donate towards the cost of a second.
Fountainpark is now an official collection point for donations from the public. The place to take any donations of non-perishable items to be sent to Ukraine is on the lower level outside the Management Office next to Nuffield Health Club at 130 Dundee St EH11 1AF. Monday – Friday, 10am – 3pm. For assistance contact, 0131 228 9784.
A spokesperson for Sunflower Scotland said: “We are so grateful to Ian for his tremendous help. And to have Fountainpark as a collection point is just amazing. We are already planning our next event which will be a Scotland for Ukraine Dinner and Auction. This will be held at the City Chambers and anyone who wants to come along should keep an eye on our Facebook Page for early bird tickets.”
You can follow Sunflower Scotland on Facebook here and you may donate to their humanitarian aid efforts here.
Maia is fundraising for the grass roots charity which began here in Edinburgh as a result of her own family background. Her mother, Anastasia Karpushko-Bombrys, explained that she is Belarusian/Ukrainian and her parents have lived here in Scotland since 1991. Now, they have all begun to recognise some of the places shown as bomb sites on TV news reports. Anastasia said: “I left the country knowing I would not go back, but now my memories are being lost as we see places in towns close to where we lived or travelled, destroyed.”
Hame Fundraising Flash brooches
These beautiful brooches have been made by Dunbar-based LoullyMakes Handmade in Scotland as a small token of solidarity – a meaningful, wearable emblem of support. These are now available to buy and will also support Sunflower Scotland get vital supplies through.
Handmade using Lochcarron of Scotland’s newly designed “Hame” tartan, in combination with ribbons of Sky Blue and Grain Yellow, the brooch is embellished with a golden Sunflower Charm, and the colours and national flower of Ukraine on a gold coloured brass kiltpin base.
100% of ALL income generated by the sale of these Flash Pin Brooches will be donated directly to Sunflower Scotland
Buy the brooches here and at Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers here.

Car Review: 2022 Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost
The ultimate edition of the ultimate luxury car
Article content
The town of Banff, Alberta is no stranger to the monied set, but when three Rolls-Royces pull up on the main street to discharge a group of auto scribes, passers-by stop and stare, and pull out their phones for photos.

Most people rarely ever see one Rolls-Royce, never mind a trio of them, and that’s how the British automaker wants it to be. Even warp-speed supercars wouldn’t garner much attention if there was one on every corner, and the exclusivity of that Spirit of Ecstasy ornament and the vehicle she rides upon is a major part of the appeal. Across its three model lines, the company only builds about five to six thousand vehicles each year. The number isn’t limited by orders received, but by the unique touches each owner wants, which in turn determines how long each takes to build.
I’m here to drive the 2022 Black Badge Ghost, a new addition to the company’s offerings and based on the new-for-2021 Ghost sedan. It isn’t an option package, but considered a separate model on its own.

They share the same body and 6.7-litre V12 engine. But while the regular Ghost’s version puts out 563 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, the Black Badge is tuned to 591 horses and 664 lb-ft. Both have all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering.
Both have an eight-speed automatic transmission, linked to satellite GPS so it can adjust its gears in advance should a hill be on the horizon. The car usually accelerates from a stop in second gear, simply because it’s smoother, but the Black Badge has a “low” button — on its surprisingly mundane black plastic shift-stalk handle — that starts in first gear for sportier performance. It also puts a rumble to the exhaust, but the cabin is so quiet that I strained to hear the difference.

The chassis and handling are further redefined for sharper feel and performance. This was the first Rolls-Royce I’ve driven, so I didn’t have a benchmark, but behind the wheel you immediately understand the car’s appeal beyond its badge. The steering is sharp and precise, acceleration is effortless, and despite weighing more than 2,500 kilograms, it corners flat like a smaller sports sedan. The company representative described the car as “51 per cent image, and the rest is performance to back it up.”
Certainly there is image on this car, with visual cues to differentiate the Black Badge approach, starting with the grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament in black chrome. Apparently enough owners were painting their chrome black that Rolls-Royce decided to offer it — but instead of paint, which could potentially chip or peel, the chrome is darkened with a chemical process. Mind you, that change wasn’t a split-second decision. The ornament — a woman who doesn’t have wings, but flowing sleeves — has been around since 1911. Because Rolls-Royce is all about tradition, the company’s board of directors first had to approve her transformation to the new shade.

Article content
The wheels are unique to the car, made of 22 layers of carbon fibre (not for weight savings, just for looks) attached to the aluminum hub with titanium fasteners, and with the standard spinning centre cap so the “RR” logo is always upright. For the first time on a Rolls, the brake calipers are a contrasting colour. Inside, the dash is finished with a diamond-weave of aluminum fibres, and the “shooting star” headliner that’s optional on other models, with pinpoints of light to resemble the night sky, is standard equipment. But no exterior colours are reserved for Black Badge, and you can choose from the company’s palette of some 44,000 factory-available shades.
Now this is a Rolls-Royce, so you can have pretty much whatever you want added if you’re willing to pay the price. Contrary to popular belief that the automaker won’t accept way-out-there requests, you can ask for just about anything — although if it’s outside the factory’s usual offerings, such as a non-stock leather dye that hasn’t been assessed to see if it could possibly weaken the seat structure, you’ll have to pay for the testing.

Article content
You can outfit your Black Badge with different wheels (on my tester the carbon-fibre ones were swapped for winter tires and wheels), or wood instead of aluminum weave, but you can’t go the other way and order any of the Black Badge-specific items on a regular Ghost. In Canada, the Ghost starts at $393,500 and the Black Badge at $460,400, and of course no one wants to spring for the upscale edition and then see an entry-level look-alike parked nearby.
Few other automobiles prepare you for the coddling you get in a Rolls-Royce. The doors open and close electrically, and silver-handled umbrellas are tucked into the doors. The seats massage your butt; you can chill your champagne in the on-board refrigerator; and rear-seat passengers each get a deployable screen to activate the car’s infotainment functions.

Article content
That cabin can be as opulent as you like. One couple even ordered theirs with the “stars” in the headliner configured into how the sky looked on the night they met. Say what you want, but that has to beat eternity rings or matching tattoos.
Black Badge is also available in the Cullinan SUV, but not in the extended-wheelbase Ghost, nor the larger Phantom sedan. Globally, about 30 per cent of Ghost buyers are opting for Black Badge, and the take rate is even higher for Cullinan. It’s that extra on a vehicle that’s already an extra on its own. I remember when people marvelled that a Rolls-Royce cost more than a house, although these days, the $552,050 for the version I drove falls well short of a starter home in Toronto. But it’ll still get the looks when you pull up on the main street of Banff, open those electric doors, and everyone stops short and simply has to see.

Fact Check: Did lakhs turn up at Imran Khan's PTI protest at Liberty Chowk in Lahore?
Supporters of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) gathered in big numbers across the cities in the country to extend their support for the ousted premier on Sunday.
The PTI had urged people to show up at prominent places to express solidarity with Khan and people responded positively to its call in many places including in Lahore.
The supporters of Khan flooded the social media sites with the clippings and photos of the protests. However, one such video has caught the attention of netizens across the globe. As per the viral video, lakhs of people had gathered at Liberty Chowk in Lahore.
Going by the clip, the roads were completely blocked with the ocean of people assembling in Lahore to condemn his ouster.
Is this true? Did lakhs turn up at the said place?
There are contrasting claims about the gathering. As per journalist Ihtisham Ul Haq, it is a fake video. However, many have responded to his tweet by stating that it is not a doctored video.
Ye lo photoshop @SaniaaAshiq pic.twitter.com/Ipy4uFU2zQ
— Ihtisham Ul Haq (@iihtishamm) April 11, 2022
A section of netizens claim that it is a genuine video and the people had indeed gathered at the said place in big numbers.
After the no-confidence vote, Khan remained defiant, writing on Twitter, "The freedom struggle begins again today against a foreign conspiracy of regime change." He later showed pictures of his supporters in the streets who he said were out on the streets "rejecting the imported government led by crooks."
Thousands demonstrated and blocked roads in Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar, chanting anti-US slogans and against opposition parties.
Khan's Out; Shehbaz Sharif In
Pakistan got its 23 Prime Minister in the form of Shehbaz Sharif. "Mian Mohammad Shehbaz Sharif has secured 174 votes," announced PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq, who was chairing the session after the resignation of Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri ahead of the vote.
In a landmark 5-0 verdict on Thursday, a five-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial ruled that NA deputy speaker Qasim Suri's ruling rejecting a no-confidence motion against Khan was "contrary to the Constitution".
Fact Check
Claim
A video of lakhs of people assembled at PTI protest at Liberty Chowk in Lahore on Sunday had gone viral.
Conclusion
People had gathered at Liberty Chowk in big numbers, but there is no truth in the claims which said that there were over a lakh people in Lahore to extend support to Khan.

A responsible unbeaten fifty from Hardik Pandya and a quickfire 35 by Abhinav Manohar took Gujarat Titans to a respectable 162/7 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the DY Patil Stadium on Monday.
Pandya and Manohar joined forces to stitch a stand of 50 off 32 balls for the fifth wicket against a Hyderabad bowling attack which had Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan taking two wickets each.
Kumar had an uncharacteristic starting over, leaking 17 runs, including five wides twice. But he returned in his next over to take out Shubman Gill, who mistimed an uppish drive and was snapped by Rahul Tripathi diving to his left at cover and stuck his hand out to complete a one-handed stunning catch.
Matthew Wade and Sai Sudharsan hit two boundaries each but T Natarajan took out the latter, forcing him to drive off a slower delivery which was easily caught by mid-off. Pandya closed the powerplay with a drive past long-off for four as Gujarat were 51/2 in power-play.
He was then struck on helmet by a sharp bouncer from Umran Malik in the eighth. He shook off the blow by slamming Malik for back-to-back fours with a drive through cover and pull through mid-wicket. Malik ended the over by trapping Wade plumb lbw from around the wicket, going past the attempted flick.
Pandya continued to find boundaries, clobbering Aiden Markram over deep mid-wicket, also marking his 100th six of IPL. It was followed by him timing his flick well past mid-on off Malik. David Miller couldn't go on for long, finding mid-wicket off Jansen.
He got support from Manohar, who fetched three boundaries off the outside edge while slamming a six over cow corner and collecting two fours through off-side. Manohar had luck on his side, being dropped at 21, 32, 33 before running out of luck when he holed out to long-off off Kumar.
Natarajan provided an excellent finish to the innings by taking out Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan in quick succession. In between the two dismissals, Pandya brought up his first fifty as captain of the side to take Gujarat to a respectable total.
Brief Scores: Gujarat Titans 162/7 in 20 overs (Hardik Pandya 50 not out, Abhinav Manohar 35; T Natarajan 2/34, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/37) against Sunrisers Hyderabad

SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter’s largest investor, billionaire Elon Musk, is reversing course and will no longer join the company’s board of directors less than a week after being awarded a seat.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal announced the news, which followed a weekend of Musk tweets suggesting changes to Twitter, including making the site ad-free. Nearly 90% of Twitter’s 2021 revenue came from ads.
However, a number of the tweets posted by Musk over the weekend regarding potential changes at Twitter no longer appear on the platform.
“Elon’s appointment to the board was to become officially effective on 4/9, but Elon shared that same morning that he would not be joining the board,” Agrawal wrote in a reposted note originally sent to Tesla employees. “I believe this is for the best.”
Agrawal didn’t offer an explanation for Musk’s apparent decision. He said the board understood the risks of having Musk, who is now the company’s largest shareholder, as a member. But it, “believed having Elon as a fiduciary of the company, where he, like all board members, has to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders, was the best path forward,” he wrote.
The rapidly evolving relationship between Musk and Twitter began exactly one week ago when regulatory filings revealed the mercurial billionaire had amassed a 9.2% stake in the social media platform, making him its largest shareholder.
Twitter gave Musk a seat on the board on the condition that he not own more than 14.9% of the company’s outstanding stock, according to a regulatory filing.
While Musk has been one of Twitter’s loudest critics, the sudden withdrawal from the board, which became official Saturday, could signal that the rapidly evolving narrative between Musk and Twitter will become more acrimonious.
“This now goes from a Cinderella story with Musk joining the Twitter Board and keeping his stake under 14.9% helping move Twitter strategically forward to likely a “Game of Thrones” battle between Musk and Twitter with the high likelihood that Elon takes a more hostile stance towards Twitter and further builds his active stake in the company,” wrote Daniel Ives, who follows Twitter for Wedbush.
That, according to Ives, could mean that Musk will join with another major investor to force “strategic changes at Twitter,” or that he will try to force the company to move in a new direction by rattling board members and executives.
In a letter to employees, Agrawal wrote that, “There will be distractions ahead, but our goals and priorities remain unchanged.”
Shares of Twitter Inc., which jumped nearly 30% after Musk’s stake became public last week, fell almost 2% at the opening bell Monday.
Musk posted a few cryptic tweets late Sunday, including one showing a meme saying, “In all fairness, your honor, my client was in goblin mode,” followed by one saying “Explains everything.” Another, later tweet was of an emoji with a hand over its mouth.
He now has a 9.2% stake in Twitter, raising questions about how he might try to reshape the social media platform as Twitter’s biggest shareholder.
Musk’s 80.5 million Twitter followers make him one of the most popular figures on the platform, rivaling pop stars like Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga. But his prolific tweeting has sometimes gotten him into trouble, such as when he has used it to promote his business ventures, rally Tesla loyalists, question pandemic measures and pick fights.
The Evening Sun
In one famous example, Musk apologized to a British cave explorer who alleged the Tesla CEO had branded him a pedophile by referring to him as “pedo guy” in an angry — and subsequently deleted — tweet. The explorer filed a defamation suit, although a Los Angeles jury later cleared Musk.
He’s also been locked in a long-running dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over his Twitter activity. Musk and Tesla in 2018 agreed to pay $40 million in civil fines and for Musk to have his tweets approved by a corporate lawyer after he tweeted about having the money to take Tesla private at $420 per share. That didn’t happen but the tweet caused Tesla’s stock price to jump. His lawyer has contended that the SEC is infringing on Musk’s free speech rights.
Musk has described himself as a “free speech absolutist” and has said he doesn’t think Twitter is living up to free speech principles — an opinion shared by followers of Donald Trump and several right-wing political figures who’ve had their accounts suspended for violating Twitter content rules.
But what’s really has been driving Musk’s Twitter involvement isn’t clear. Other preoccupations with the service include arguing to make Twitter’s algorithm viewable by the public, widening the availability of “verified” Twitter accounts, and blasting a profile photo initiative involving non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.
Musk has also called “crypto spam bots,” which search tweets for cryptocurrency related keywords then pose as customer support to empty user crypto wallets, the “most annoying problem on Twitter.”
Twitter’s CEO and other board members have praised Musk, suggesting they might take his ideas seriously.
Agrawal’s initial actions since taking over from co-founder Jack Dorsey in November have involved reorganizing divisions without making major changes. The company has long lagged behind its social media rivals and boasts far fewer users.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)– The Masters is a tradition unlike any other, one that especially rings true for Catherine Luckey-Ivey, who has attended the golf tournament every year for most of her life.
“As a teenager, we’d all come out and you could buy a day ticket for $3 and it was a little button. You’d put on your button and walk in. Just walk right up to the gate and walk in,” Luckey-Ivey said.
Luckey-Ivey and her friends made a tradition of picnicking while they watched the tournament. Her tray of choice won her the endearing nickname “the Pecan Lady.”
“When we first started coming we sat on blankets on the ground. No ropes, no anything and I would bring praline pecans. Another lady would bring cheese biscuits, somebody else would bring pimento cheese sandwiches. This was before they had concessions even,” she said.
Decades ago, she claimed a spot at hole number nine.
“I’ve been coming to the Masters longer than I’ve been sitting on No. 9, but I’ve sat on number nine for 55 years,” she said.
Over those 55 years, Luckey-Ivey has become quite the celebrity to both golfers and patrons.
“People come up all the time that say , ‘do you remember me, do you remember me?’ And I have lots of people that sit beside me,” she said.
She said she has the best seat in the house, and she doesn’t plan on giving it up any time soon.
“To get my chair in that corner I have to get up at six o’clock in the morning at my age and run up the hill with two chairs to put down. It’s quite a feat, but it’s worth it,” she said.
She said things have changed over the years, but she describes those changes as marvelous.
“Starting First Tee, having the Drive, Chip & Putt. Having the Women’s Amateur tournament here for women. They’re just so altruistic. Everything they do is for our nation and our state and our city and it’s just marvelous,” she said.
This year marks 10 years since Augusta National first welcomed women as members.
“I can remember when Condoleezza Rice got in. She’s just such a marvelous woman to begin with. They’re all so altruistic. I don’t think a member can get in unless they have a heart to give. I think that’s part of the way they get their membership. What all they’ve done is just wonderful,” Luckey-Ivey said.
Luckey-Ivey wears her badges from past years on her hat. She said her favorite badges are from the years her children worked as runners for the press secretary.
Her all-time favorite winner of the green jacket is Arnold Palmer, adding that his kindness toward her and other patrons made a lasting impression.

We've been awaiting the Academy's decision on what will happen to Will Smith, following 'the slap'. Despite the actor already submitting his resignation from the Academy, the organisation has now officially provided a statement and decision on the matter.
Smith has officially been banned from the Academy for a decade, and is now no longer allowed to attend any Academy events or programmes, physically or virtually, for the next ten years. The full statement from the Academy can be seen below (thanks, Variety).
"The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage.
During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented.
Today, the Board of Governors convened a meeting to discuss how best to respond to Will Smith's actions at the Oscars, in addition to accepting his resignation. The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards.
We want to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Rock for maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances. We also want to thank our hosts, nominees, presenters and winners for their poise and grace during our telecast.
This action we are taking today in response to Will Smith's behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the Academy. We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted."

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Two officers with the Buffalo Police Department have been cleared of any wrongdoing in an incident during a protest in June 2020 that left a 75-year-old man injured.
Officers Aaron Torgalski and Robert McCabe will not face any further discipline after an arbitrator's decision on Friday, according to Buffalo Police Benevolent Association president John Evans.
Evans said the arbitrator "clearly saw in no way was this an excessive force incident."
"He did fall backwards, but that may have been on his own," Evans added.
Torgalski and McCabe were initially charged with assault as a result of a confrontation between them and protester Martin Gugino in Niagara Square in June 2020. Those charges were dismissed by a grand jury in February 2021. Shortly after charges were dismissed, Gugino filed a lawsuit against the city, the police officers involved and Buffalo Police Department leadership, and Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.
Evans says the arbitrator broke down the video that captured the incident in front of City Hall "frame by frame".
"They didn't come up with anything that showed any type of excessive force whatsoever," Evans explained.
Torgalski and McCabe were two of many officers clearing the square by walking through the sidewalk area after a curfew took effect. Video recorded by a WBFO reporter showed the officers shoving Gugino, then continuing to move forward. Gugino fell backward and hit his head. He spent four weeks in the hospital recovering from injuries to his head.
The officers had been suspended throughout the criminal proceedings and remained suspended pending the outcome of the internal affairs investigation.
Evans says the case is now concluded for the officers and he expects them to return to the police force.
"They've been put through hell. It will be great to see them come back," replied Gugino.

As the Rich Get Richer, the Poor Have Only Bitcoin as a Hope.
8 ways Bitcoin helps the poor.
This issue of In Bitcoin We Trust Newsletter is for all subscribers. To get more insights on Bitcoin, you may be interested to upgrade to the premium package.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the richest 1% of Americans have seen their wealth increase by $12T. These figures have just been released by the Fed. The wealth of the richest 1% of Americans now reaches $45.9T, or 32.2% of America's total wealth.
In contrast, the wealth held by the poorest 90% of Americans has fallen in 2021 from where it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. With inflation approaching 8% in America, you can imagine that the situation of the poor in America is not going to get any better in the months and years to come.
I have spoken to you here about the Americans, but the situation is much worse elsewhere in the world because America remains the first economic world power, the one that issues the world reserve currency. An American dollar that gives an exorbitant privilege to America, and makes tens of millions of people in the world suffer unjustly.
As the rich keep getting richer, Bitcoin is now the last hope for many people around the world. When I write this, I always get readers who come up to me in comments or messages and say that this is not possible, since Bitcoin is too expensive for the poor. These people seem to forget that Bitcoin is divisible up to eight decimal places, so you can buy as little as $1.
To help them see things more clearly, I propose to look at 8 ways in which Bitcoin is already helping the poorest people.
Inflation Hedge
At the heart of the flaws of the current monetary and financial system is the original sin of printing fiat money out of thin air in unlimited quantities. Central bankers do not hesitate to print as much money as they deem necessary.
This infinite monetary inflation causes the purchasing power of fiat money to fall. The richest people have access to a lot of assets allowing them to protect themselves from the devastating effects of this inflation. Even better, this monetary inflation is benefiting them, as the figures revealed earlier prove.
The more central bankers print fiat money out of thin air, the more their wealth increases thanks to the assets they own which appreciate.
For the poor, the situation is disastrous. They don't have access to all these assets. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is available to them as soon as they have a smartphone and an Internet connection. You can buy Bitcoin for as little as $1 and protect the fruits of your labor from the ravages of inflation.
Cross Border Capital Flow
Governments in developing countries often implement laws and regulations that restrict capital flow within and outside their geographic borders. Thus, many individuals in these countries lack adequate access to capital.
Bitcoin's decentralization, but also the fact that no one controls the network, change this by protecting them from such restrictions. With Bitcoin, no corrupt government can prevent individuals from accessing capital freely.
Bank For Everyone
In 2017, there were still 1.7 billion people on Earth who still had no access to basic banking services. You read that right, 1.7 billion people were bankless. And as amazing as it may seem to you, the problem is also found in developed countries like America.
In America, just over 7 million households were unbanked in 2019. These unbanked people pay to cash their paychecks, to get money orders to pay rent and utilities, to get prepaid debit cards, and so on. The extra cost for these families is $2,400 per year. That's 10% of their annual income wasted. In America, unbanked people pay approximately $89B per year in total transaction fees.
Bitcoin is a game-changer on all levels here. It offers basic banking services to everyone without any possible discrimination. It is a unique opportunity for millions of people around the world. A chance to be included in an alternative monetary and financial system that will continue to grow in the future.
Savings For Everyone
By giving everyone access to basic banking services, Bitcoin allows everyone to save the fruits of their labor. Bitcoin is a savings technology. The fact that the supply of BTC is hard-capped at 21 million units is a total game-changer.
Your Bitcoin bought today will still be worth 1 BTC in 21 million units in the future. You no longer have to spend your hard-earned money on useless things for fear that the value of your fiat currency wealth will fall inexorably to zero.
True property / Ownership
Bitcoin is a none's liability money just like gold. Your Bitcoin belongs to you as long as you have the associated private keys in your possession. You do not need a counterparty to guarantee the value of your Bitcoin. Bitcoin gives you access to real property.
This is especially important for poor people who didn't have this kind of access before. Gold was used for these purposes, but gold suffers from a problem of divisibility, but also storage. With Bitcoin, all you have to do is remember a seed phrase of 12 to 24 words to store your wealth in your brain.
You can then at any time restore your wallet and get access to your Bitcoin thanks to your private keys.
Preventing Discrimination
I have already written in the past about the discrimination of the American banking system against Black America. I could have written even worse things about the discrimination allowed by the present system which is based above all on human beings whose arbitrariness is taking its toll.
This system promotes discrimination. Since you are in such and such a category, then you will not have the same chances as a person of another category. This is unthinkable with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin gives the same opportunities to each of its users. It is a unique chance for minorities, but also the poor. Bitcoin is available to you no matter who you are. You don't have to prove anything to use the Bitcoin network and take control of your life.
The decentralization of the Bitcoin network is a clear game-changer, as is the fact that no leaders are controlling the network and trying to impose their own arbitrary rules.
Preventing Corruption / Cronyism
As you know, humans have a natural inclination for corruption and cronyism. A banking system as opaque as ours today allows humans to give free rein to their baser instincts. And this is at the expense of the poorest.
Bitcoin is an open and transparent system. Anyone can check anything on the network at any time. By running your node, you can check that the rules of the Bitcoin protocol are being followed at any time. This greatly limits corruption.
As far as cronyism is concerned, it's the same thing. Bitcoin promotes greater fairness by giving the same opportunities to each of its users. It's up to you to take advantage of them. Another recent example caught my attention. In support of the Ukrainian people, the Bitcoin blockchain has been used extensively in recent weeks. With the current system, the money that was sent was not traceable. You couldn't know if the donations you made were going into the right hands and how they were being used.
With Bitcoin, you can verify that your money is going directly into the right hands.
Low Transaction Fees
Credit companies or financial institutions charge their customers with such huge transaction fees that it should be considered theft. The example of El Salvador, which became the first Bitcoin Nation, is telling in this regard. Western Union and MoneyGram were earning more than $400 million in fees on the backs of the Salvadoran diaspora who were sending money home to help their families.
Bitcoin is a game-changer, with transaction fees that are reduced to a minimum, and most importantly, are not dependent on the amount of money sent. You can send $5 or $1 million, the Bitcoin blockchain won't make a difference in transaction fees.
The fees depend solely on the activity of the network. The more congested the network is, the higher the fees will be. So you can check for yourself when is the best time to make a low-cost transaction on the Bitcoin network.
Final Thoughts
The current monetary and financial system is unfair and benefits a tiny minority of people who are willing to do anything to defend it to the end. So it's not surprising that Warren Buffett constantly refers to Bitcoin as “Rat poison squared”. But in reality, if Bitcoin is such a poison, it is for him and all the other ultra-rich people who don't want to see the emergence of a more equitable system for all.
Yet Bitcoin will continue to be embraced in the future because it is changing the lives of tens of millions of people around the world for the better. Starting with the poor, Bitcoin solves many of their most important problems and gives them hope for a better world in the future.

Penn State QB Sean Clifford launches NIL company 'for the players, by the players'
The ability for college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness (NIL) has taken college athletics by storm since it was widely approved in the summer of 2021.
Athletes from across the country have taken advantage of the newfound legal profiting and have earned money for the work they've done building their own brands — whether that's on or off the field.
Over the last month, two prominent Penn State adjacent entities have formed in order to help athletes earn that money and build their public image.
Penn State redshirt senior starting quarterback Sean Clifford announced the launch of his new company — Limitless NIL — in a story that was published Sunday night by ESPN's Pete Thamel. Clifford's company will be a part of the athlete side of NIL issues.
The Nittany Lion quarterback told ESPN he was looking for an agency to help him navigate NIL — which helped him make over $100,000, per the story — and struggled to find a company that could do so at the level he wanted.
"It's the agency that I was looking for that I couldn't find," Clifford told ESPN. "It's for the players, by the players."
Clifford's venture already includes multiple Power-Five athletes, including teammate Ji'Ayir Brown and Penn State women's basketball player Anna Camden.
Brown's first deal, with the help of Limitless, is set to be a custom pizza named after him at Snap Custom Pizza in State College.
The quarterback has also included his brother — and teammate — Liam as the director of development and former teammate Aeneas Hawkins as chief athlete officer.
The company plans to take a 15% cut of all deals made, and limited fall and spring academic responsibilities have opened the door for Clifford to dive in head-first to creating and maintaining the company. His new venture also drew positive comment from his head coach, James Franklin.
Clifford wants his company to help fellow student-athletes take advantage of NIL, while also helping teach them about the new legislation, something Franklin saw as a plus.
"Sean has demonstrated great passion, interest and creativity early on in this NIL space and has gained invaluable business experiences," Franklin told ESPN. "He has taken advantage of the NIL opportunities presented to him, but he has also taken it upon himself to educate his teammates on the impact NIL can have."
PSU alumni collective: Prior to Clifford launching Limitless NIL, a group of alumni put together a collective in order to help Penn State athletes profit off their NIL.
The collective — named Success With Honor — has a volunteer advisory board comprised of many famous Nittany Lion alumni, including former football players LaVar Arrington, Todd Blackledge and Michael Robinson, former wrestler David Taylor and current Jordan Brand shoe designer Kelsey Amy, among others.
The purpose of the group is to "(leverage) the collective power of the nation's largest university alumni base to help equip Nittany Lion student-athletes with the tools and resources necessary for them to excel both during and beyond their time in State College. More importantly, we seek to help student-athletes maximize their NIL opportunities the right way, without ever compromising the values of the university and the legacy of all those who have donned the blue and white in the past," per its website.
The collective is a nonprofit organization that operates outside of the university. It has several tiers of subscriptions, allowing fans to interact with student athletes and receive benefits for anywhere from $10 to $500 per month.
The benefits range from exclusive interviews to Success With Honor apparel to one-on-one student-athlete training sessions.

Man uses 30+ aliases to elude criminal charges, deputies say
ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV/Gray News) – A man arrested in North Carolina for felony identity theft is accused of using dozens of fake names over several years to get out of criminal charges, according to deputies.
When he was charged last week, the 46-year-old man said his name was Vincente Barrera and then later said his name was Jorge Ortiz-Zaragoza, WBTV reported.
Deputies discovered that the Ortiz-Zaragoza name was in FBI records as an alias used before to try to get out of criminal charges.
Authorities said Ortiz-Zaragoza confessed it was not his real identity and said he has used 27 names in the past.
After fingerprinting the man, deputies determined he has used as many as 35 different names.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office records show that Ortiz-Zaragoza has been deported five times.
The criminal history connected to those fingerprints includes multiple drug felonies in addition to the assault charge, WBTV reported.
The investigation is still open, and Ortiz-Zaragoza, listed in the detention center as Vincente Barrera, was jailed on a bond of $10,000 on charges of identity theft and assault on a female.
Barrera is set to appear in court on Monday.

Signatera ctDNA dynamics are both predictive and prognostic in neoadjuvant TNBC.
Lead time up to 30 months between Signatera positivity and radiographic recurrence.
AUSTIN, Texas, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a global leader in cell-free DNA testing, today announced that it will present new data relating to its personalized and tumor-informed molecular residual disease (MRD) test, Signatera™, at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research taking place April 8 – 13, 2022.
Natera will have two data presentations in early-stage breast cancer, focused on patients that are high-risk hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) and/or with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). These data are the latest in a fast-growing body of evidence supporting the clinical use of Signatera MRD in breast cancer across all major subtypes.
Details about the presentations are as follows:
Abstract # 2796 | Poster Presentation | Date/time: Tuesday April 12, 9am-12:30pm
Circulating Tumor DNA Prognosis in Adjuvant Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Tumor tissue and longitudinal plasma samples were collected post-surgery from 186 TNBC patients enrolled in the phase 3 BEATRICE clinical trial (NCT00528567) and analyzed using a research-use-only version of Natera's personalized ctDNA technology. The results demonstrate that ctDNA status in samples collected post-surgery provided independent prognostic value beyond the known risk factors of lymph node involvement, tumor size and presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.
- 19.9% of patients with early-stage TNBC were found to have detectable ctDNA after surgery, which was strongly associated with inferior outcomes (IDFS and OS)
- Lead time between first ctDNA positivity and radiographic recurrence was 6.1 months at the median, ranging up to 30.5 months
"TNBC is the most aggressive type of breast cancer, with a major unmet need for better diagnostic tools to identify high risk patients and inform cancer management," said Angel Rodriguez, M.D., medical director of oncology at Natera. "This study builds upon the prior scientific literature, further validating Signatera as a strong prognostic factor in TNBC, with significant potential to improve patient care."
Abstract # 7878 | Poster Presentation | Date/time: Tuesday April 12, 9am-12:30pm
Comparison of the Predictive and Prognostic Significance of Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients with High-Risk HER2-Negative Breast Cancer Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
This study analyzed 734 blood samples collected serially during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) from 106 HR+/HER2- and 97 TNBC patients enrolled in the I-SPY2 trial, one of the largest trials in the neoadjuvant setting.
- In TNBC, early clearance of ctDNA after just three weeks of treatment was a significant predictor of pathologic complete response
- Patients who were ctDNA-negative after NAC, in both subtypes, showed significantly improved distant recurrence-free survival, even among those patients who did not achieve pathologic complete response
"This data shows the potential utility of personalized ctDNA monitoring with Signatera during neoadjuvant treatment, giving us the ability to, in conjunction with MR imaging, improve the prediction of response early in the course of treatment," said Laura Esserman, M.D., M.B.A., and Laura van 't Veer, Ph.D., breast cancer specialists on the I-SPY2 Trial. "We are integrating this technology into the I-SPY Trial and prospectively testing it to help improve patient care in breast cancer."
More information on Signatera in breast cancer is available here.
Signatera is a custom-built circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test for treatment monitoring and molecular residual disease (MRD) assessment in patients previously diagnosed with cancer. The test is available for both clinical and research use, and has been granted three Breakthrough Device Designations by the FDA for multiple cancer types and indications. The Signatera test is personalized and tumor-informed, providing each individual with a customized blood test tailored to fit the unique signature of clonal mutations found in that individual's tumor. This maximizes Signatera's accuracy for detecting the presence or absence of residual disease in a blood sample, even at levels down to a single tumor molecule in a tube of blood. Signatera is intended to detect and assess how much cancer is left in the body, to identify recurrence earlier and to help optimize treatment decisions.
Natera™ is a global leader in cell-free DNA testing, dedicated to oncology, women's health, and organ health. We aim to make personalized genetic testing and diagnostics part of the standard of care to protect health, and inform earlier, more targeted interventions that help lead to longer, healthier lives. Natera's tests are validated by more than 100 peer-reviewed publications that demonstrate high accuracy.

Man gets 17 years in prison for kidnapping woman, forcing her into sex work
MANCHESTER, Md. (Gray News) - A Maryland man was sentenced to 17 years in prison Friday for kidnapping a woman and leading a sex trafficking conspiracy, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
The DOJ said Joshua Lankford, 33, used violence and drugs to control a young woman and planned to kill her to keep her from testifying at trial.
According to court documents, Lankford led and organized a conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force. Evidence indicated that Lankford kidnapped the victim, a young adult woman, to engage in forced prostitution.
Lankford knew the victim was addicted to heroin and withheld drugs from her until she made him enough money by engaging in sex work, the DOJ said.
When the woman tried to escape, Lankford and three others drove the victim to a rural area where they beat, whipped and choked her with a belt, court documents show. They then drove her to a hotel in Delaware to force her to engage in more prostitution.
Documents show that while in jail, Lankford told a co-conspirator that he intended to kill the woman to prevent her from testifying against them at trial.
“Joshua Lankford’s crimes were nothing short of horrific; he kidnapped and victimized a vulnerable woman then plotted to kill her in order to save himself,” said Special Agent in Charge James R. Mancuso of HSI Baltimore. “The atrocities of his crimes are clearly reflected in the severity of his sentence, and today, he will begin to pay his debt to society.”
In addition to his 17-year prison sentence, Lankford was given five years of supervised released and a $2,320 fine.

Amazon Echo dot with clock review
The world seems to move a little faster each day. There’s more to manage and less time to do it. A personal assistant that tends to our every need, from reminding us of essential tasks to creating the ideal environment, is becoming more crucial. Not only does relieving that burden give us more time for friends and family, but it also reduces stress.
Amazon has a solution. The company’s popular smart speaker can do all that and more. According to Amazon, the purpose of the Echo 4th gen is to “make your life easier at home.” It “has a sleek, compact design that fits perfectly into small spaces” and “Alexa can help kids learn and grow,” all while protecting your family’s privacy.
This sounded like a perfect way to help manage life and reduce stress, so we tested the Amazon Echo (4th gen), and here’s what we found.
Testing the Echo Dot
To test this Amazon Echo device, we had a member of our review team set up the Alexa speaker according to the instructions. They used it for a week, learning how well the device fits into their life. Our tester primarily used the Echo Dot as an alarm and a music player, but they also took time to delve deeper and explore the many features this product had to offer.
What is the Echo Dot?
On the surface, the 4th generation Echo Dot is a small globe with an illuminated clock on the front. It is a sleek, modern-looking device with four input buttons on the top that let you control various features with just a tap. The device listens to and interacts with any individual within earshot who desires assistance.
Streaming music throughout the day and being in complete control of song selection and volume were the primary reasons for our interest in this device. However, after just a brief period of experimenting, we found the Echo had many more capabilities than other smart speakers we have tested. It has an impressive response, unique privacy features and a robust sound, especially when you consider its small size.
Echo Dot price and where to buy
The basic Echo Dot with Clock (4th Gen) is available for $59.99. If you prefer to purchase a special edition with a “The Mandalorian” Grogu-inspired stand, that will cost $84.94. You can buy the Echo Dot (4th Gen) at Amazon, Home Depot, Kohl’s and Staples.
How to use the Echo Dot
The Echo Dot arrives in a small blue box with the power cord and instructions at the bottom. It was very easy to set up. After plugging in the device, Alexa instructs you to download the app. The app walks you through the entire setup process, which takes less than five minutes to complete. However, if you do not already have an Amazon account, it will take a little longer.
To control the device, all you need to do is speak. Alexa understood all of our commands on the first try. And the audio quality of the unit, whether listening to music, communicating with Alexa or taking a call, was impressive. There is clarity and depth that makes using the product highly enjoyable. Though, we should note that the sound quality diminishes slightly as the volume increases.
As far as the alarm clock capabilities go, they were very impressive. We had never set an alarm using our voice before, so it was a new experience. The unit has a wide variety of alarm sounds that are much less stressful to wake up to than the typical blaring noises. Plus, you can add custom sounds or set up a morning routine, so Alexa reads the morning news or gives you a weather report when you wake.
Echo Dot benefits
Setting up the Echo Dot is easy and intuitive, even if you’re a little intimidated by tech. We love that it is so multifunctional and sized to fit nearly anywhere. We never experienced a performance glitch during our trial period, and the sound quality was excellent. If you have a smart home, this little device can serve as your smart hub. In general, the Echo Dot simplifies your life.
Echo Dot drawbacks
The biggest drawback we found when using this smart speaker is that you must plug it in for it to work. If it had a battery, it would be perfect. However, by no means is this a dealbreaker. Other users have commented that the device occasionally loses connection or freezes. Still, since we experienced none of those problems, we think most of those issues involved inadequate Wi-Fi (where the device is placed) or slow service.
Should you get the Echo Dot?
The Amazon Echo Dot with clock (4th gen) is one of those rare products that can benefit nearly anyone. It is affordable enough to fit in most budgets and flexible enough to be of value in various situations. You could use it in your bedroom, office, living room and more. Doctors and other professionals can even put this smart speaker in their waiting room to help create a more engaging experience for their patients and clients.
Consider these other products
If you prefer a high-end model from a company known for its quality audio, this Bose smart speaker is a solid option. It can fill a room with wall-to-wall stereo and it works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Sold by Amazon
If you are a fan of Apple, Sonos is a good option. You can use AirPlay2 and Siri to have an effortless streaming experience. The high-quality smart speaker can stream from Amazon Music, Audible, Pandora, Spotify and TIDAL, and also features built-in Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

If you’d like a smart hub with even more capabilities, consider the Echo Show 8. This device lets you make video calls, stream movies and keep track of your schedule so you never miss an event, appointment or meeting again.

Tina Morales worked at the headquarters of the troubled Center for COVID Control in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.
"I was a shift supervisor," she said. "There was a lot that I was doubting just from my very first day."
It was her job to record patient information for COVID-19 tests coming in from the company's 300 pop-up sites nationwide.
As the omicron variant hit, Morales says the data she was told to put in the system was not always accurate. Washington's attorney general says the result was the company overbilling a federal fund for the uninsured.
NEWSY'S PATRICK TERPSTRA: No one ever said, "This is the government's money. We have to be really careful and make sure all of this is accurate?"
TINA MORALES: In the beginning, yes, like when I first started. But it just became really overwhelming.
Doctors Clinical Laboratory processed tests from the Center for COVID Control.
Federal records show the lab received over $152 million in reimbursements.
All of it, money approved by Congress to cover COVID tests — only for Americans without health insurance. Providers must confirm a "patient is uninsured" before requesting reimbursement, up to $100 per test.
But in a statement filed as part of a lawsuit brought by Washington state's attorney general, Morales says a manager told her to stop entering insurance information into the data entry system.
"As we started getting backed up with the tests, we were instructed to stop inputting information that we were originally inputting before," she said.
Her declaration says, "The data entry for all incoming patients began to reflect that every patient was uninsured... And that CCC (Center for COVID Control) would submit claims for reimbursement to the federal government."
Morales says they got so overwhelmed that some of the tests expired, allegedly piled, unrefrigerated, in trash bags.
She says her team complied with instructions from a manager to "falsely date late test samples" so they could still be processed by the lab.
Everybody in that entire building knew that any test that was over 72 hours old, there's no rNA to test. It would come back as inconclusive either way.
Aleya Siyaj runs the Center for COVID Control, allegedly with her husband, Akbar Ali Syed.
Another statement filed in court by a second ex-employee says Syed would encourage staff to test their friends and family "even when they didn't need to get tested so that CCC (Center for COVID Control) could get reimbursed" by the government.
A statement from attorneys for the Center for COVID Control said the allegations are based "largely on inaccurate testimony from unreliable witnesses," and that the Center for COVID Control "was committed to delivering resources to patients in an accurate and compliant manner."
Newsy doesn't know whether reimbursements were awarded improperly. The Health Resources and Services Administration doles out the funds.
A spokesman says the agency "takes corrective action against providers who are out of compliance with the terms and conditions of the uninsured program ... Including 'recovery of funds, and providing information to law enforcement when appropriate.'"
Newsy found the Center for COVID Control and Doctors Clinical Laboratory next door, emptied out. It was abruptly shut down after the launch of multiple investigations into widespread reports of wrongdoing.

A soccer fan has died after a taxi hit him as he crossed the R300.
Jason van der Horst, 18, was watching a tournament the whole day on Saturday and on the way to his Delft home, he was knocked over by a taxi driver.
His pal Ashton Isaacs, 21, says after the game they wanted to go to a jol.
“He was very short so we told him that we will not go with him because they might not let him into the venue,” he explains.
“At first he refused and then he eventually decided to cross the R300, we also decided to go home and walked behind him.
“We heard a loud bang and when we crossed, we saw the taxi that hit him drive away.”
Ashton says the number plate was left at the scene.
“The taxi came back when the police were attending to the scene. body copy_bold: “The damage to the car was on the left side. But now we don’t know if the driver was the one who killed Jason. Maybe they switched with a sober person.
“We were left confused when the people didn’t arrest the driver, they let him go.”
Police spokesperson Wesley Twigg says: “The circumstances surrounding an accident this morning at about 12.17am on the R300, Eindhoven, where a 18-year-old male was hit by a vehicle are under investigation.
“A culpable homicide case was opened for investigation. The investigation into the matter continues.”

Pak President Arif Alvi complains of 'discomfort' hours before newly elected PM's oath-taking ceremony
The president's complaint comes hours before newly-elected Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's oath-taking ceremony
Hours before Pakistan Prime Minister-elect Shehbaz Sharif's oath-taking ceremony, President Arif Alvi Monday complained of "discomfort", according to the president's Twitter account.
"President Dr Arif Alvi has complained of discomfort. The physician has examined him thoroughly and has advised him [to] rest for a few days," the tweet added, report The News.
In absence of the president — a PTI and Imran Khan loyalist — Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani will administer the oath to the newly-elected prime minister, according to sources.
Shehbaz secured 174 votes as opposed to PTI's candidate Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who received no votes after his party decided to boycott the polling process.
The poll took place under the chairmanship of MNA Ayaz Sadiq, two days after the lower house of Parliament voted in favour of removing Imran Khan from office, following a nearly 14-hour standoff between the Opposition and Khan's ruling party that started on Saturday morning.
PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique told Geo News that the oath-taking ceremony will take place at 9pm tonight.

When lawyer George Crossman met Rudy Dorner, he knew the business broker was unique.
He was smart, capable but had a determination that later in their business relationship sometimes ended with slammed phones. Rudy could be infuriating, admitted George, a mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer who worked with Rudy on at least 50 deals where Rudy would represent clients wanting to sell their business. Rudy was a fierce advocate for his clients, unwilling to yield if it meant the deal wasn’t in his client’s favour.
Many former clients came forward after learning of Rudy’s death, to say how their lives were so much better because of Rudy’s skills, George said.
Rudy’s efforts were perhaps most obvious in Waterloo Region’s three City Café Bakeries. It was Rudy who helped his friend, John Bergen, find the partners to finance the opening of the bakeries. Both locations operate on a cash-only basis and on the honour system: take what you want, do your own math and pop the money into a box. If you need change, flag down a staffer who is likely busy making pizza or baking bagels. It’s an unusual business model, but then Rudy was an unusual guy.
When John got the idea of starting a bakery around 2000, John looked to the business-minded Rudy for support.
“I’m his godfather,” Rudy once joked to a reporter. “John has the necessary talent, but he doesn’t have the business background.”
John had previously owned a ceramics company that was failing. “At that point it was a rescue operation,” admitted John.
Rudy stepped in to advise, to encourage and ultimately to turn the business around so John could sell it for a profit.
Rudy had way of looking for patterns in how humans behave, John said. Rudy, one of the partners, thought the cafés, with their wood-fired pizza ovens, would bring a New York City vibe to the region.
“I earned my ‘street MBA’ from him,” said John, adding that he learned so much about business under Rudy’s guidance.
At the time John wanted to start up the bakeries, Rudy owned Corporate Division Mergers & Acquisitions, a company that raised money for mergers and acquisitions. John’s business was small, but Rudy didn’t turn his back on a friend, particularly when he could see potential.
John’s brother, David Bergen, knew Rudy from their decades of friendship. David is a dentist with a talent for baking bread, and was the inspiration for the bakery. David also knew a side of Rudy not often displayed in his work life: that of a prankster.
Rudy was rather fond of explosions, particularly fireworks. He once set up a row of fireworks along the street in front of George’s Toronto home, a bang-up celebration for a milestone birthday. He once also sourced gunpowder to set off a big boom from the Waterloo Park cannon. But it was New Year’s Eve, there was noise everywhere, so the boom didn’t attract unwanted attention.
Then there was the time Rudy put new signs over the “Welcome to Kitchener” signs in five locations. His version read, “Welcome to Berlin.” He also created a fictitious organization, Berlin Reform Association, and presented the city with a list of demands.
“It was taken seriously,” said David. “He was really just having fun.”
Rudy was born Sept. 4, 1948, in Germany, the youngest of three. His family immigrated in 1954, moving to Kitchener.
He left university before graduating and took a job driving a truck, then became a journeyman electrician. Rudy later took a job with Babcock & Wilcox, where his abilities were quickly recognized. Rudy was promoted to chief corporate planner. He later left to form his own company.
“He was a really talented guy,” said David. “He would sometimes just stop and reinvent himself.”
Rudy had been married for seven years. The couple didn’t have children. He married a second time in 2017, to Patricia Raby, who happened to seek refuge at the café during a winter storm three years earlier.
Among Rudy’s many passions was motorcycles, a hobby he shared with David. Together they toured North America, focusing on small-town life. Rudy was interested in the locals’ stories.
He also had a keen interest in astronomy and was a respected member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Rudy founded the Dorner Telescope Museum, which will eventually open at the society’s offices in Toronto.
With such a rich and varied background, it’s not surprising that David thought his friend “a really complicated guy.” Rudy was lots of fun but also aggravating.
“He could ignite a roaring argument for the sheer joy of arguing,” said David. “He was an original guy, one of a kind.”

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Jury selection began Monday in a long-anticipated libel lawsuit Johnny Depp filed against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, whom he accuses of falsely portraying him as a domestic abuser.
Depp sued Heard over an op-ed piece she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018 in which Heard refers to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” The article doesn’t mention Depp by name, but he says it clearly refers to allegations Heard made in other forums that she suffered physical abuse at his hands. Depp denies the accusations.
The lawsuit brought a little bit of Hollywood to a courthouse that has a long history of dealing with high-profile crimes, just not those involving movie stars.
More than a dozen women, some waving signs saying “Justice for Johnny,” joined other fans who waved pirate flags in recognition of Depp’s signature role in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, waited outside the courthouse an hour before the hearing.
The courtroom in the city of Fairfax was closed to the public Monday, with limited closed-circuit access in an overflow courtroom. People lined up before 7 a.m. for the wristbands granting access.
The judge overseeing the trial, Penney Azcarate, has imposed a series of access rules to try to maintain decorum in the courthouse. Most significantly, neither Depp nor Heard are permitted to pose for photos or sign autographs in the courthouse or on the courthouse grounds.
Depp’s fans have been vocal in their support, saying he has been falsely accused. Raylyn Otie, a Depp fan from Bluefield, Virginia, drove five hours to see the movie star. She was disappointed when Depp did not greet fans personally, as sheriff’s deputies carefully limited fan access.
“I’m so disappointed. I came to give him flowers to show some support,” she said, bouquet in hand.
In a separate lawsuit Depp filed against a British newspaper, a judge dismissed the case, finding that Depp assaulted Heard on a dozen occasions and put her in fear for her life on multiple occasions.
Heard has filed a countersuit against Depp that accuses his lawyers of defaming her at his direction.
Heard’s lawyers tried unsuccessfully to have the case moved to California, where the actors reside. A Fairfax judge ruled that Depp was within his rights to bring the case here because the Post’s online editions are published through servers located in Fairfax County. Depp’s lawyers have said they brought the case in Virginia in part because the laws here are more favorable to their case.
The trial is expected to last more than a month.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Masters champions get to go to the Masters Club dinner, and Scottie Scheffler has a permanent seat at that table now.
His score of 10-under 278 gave him a three-shot victory over Rory McIlroy on Sunday at Augusta National for his first major championship.
It further cemented his status as the No. 1 player in the world.
It was also his fourth career win. All of them came in a span of about two months and capped a week where the 25-year-old seemed to handle the pressure that comes with being in Masters contention with ease.
While Scheffler may have appeared calm on the golf course, he said he was nervous going into the final round.
“I was so stressed out. I didn’t know what to do," Scheffler said, according to Golf Channel.
Scheffler said that he told his wife that he didn't feel ready for the stuff that could come with winning the Masters.
Despite those nerves, he shot a final 1-under final round to secure the victory. Scheffler earned $2.7 million for the win.

This Is the County in the Dayton, OH Metro Area with the Most Deaths from COVID-19
Though cases of the omicron variant appear to have peaked in the United States, the virus continues to claim lives. So far, more than 970,000 Americans have died from the virus -- more than the total number of Americans killed in World War I and World War II combined.
In the Dayton metropolitan area, located in Ohio, a total of 2,981 deaths have been attributed to the virus, equal to 371 fatalities for every 100,000 people. Nationwide, 298 deaths have been attributed to the virus per 100,000 people.
The higher than average per capita COVID-19 death rate across the metro area is being driven by one area in particular.
The broader Dayton metro area comprises three counties or county equivalents -- and of them, Miami County has had the most COVID-19 fatalities per capita. So far, the per capita coronavirus death rate in Miami County stands at 454 for every 100,000 people.
Though it has the highest per capita death rate in the Dayton metro area, Miami County ranks among the middle 50% of all U.S. counties or county equivalents by COVID-19 death rate per capita.
All COVID-19 data used in this story are current as of April 6, 2022.
These are all the counties in Ohio where COVID-19 is slowing (and where it's still getting worse).

Iran seeks more security for diplomatic sites in Afghanistan
Iran on Monday urged the Taliban to provide better security at Iranian diplomatic sites in neighboring Afghanistan after angry Afghan protesters pelted the consulate in Herat with rocks, state media reported.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said more needed to be done after protests at the Iranian Consulate in Herat and the Iranian Embassy in Kabul on Monday became aggressive.
In recent weeks, unverified videos purporting to show Afghan refugees being tortured in Iran have been published on social media, angering many Afghans. Iran has denied the accusations
“Full security and a necessary guarantee for safe activity of the embassy and representatives of Iran in Herat and other cities of Afghanistan should be provided,” he said.
Iran’s semiofficial Fars news agency said protesters were brought to the consulate in Herat from nearby rural areas and they threw stones at gates and windows of the building. It said Taliban forces dispersed the protesters by shooting into the air and blamed the rally on pro-Western groups in Afghanistan.
In the Afghan capital of Kabul, about 20 demonstrators gathered outside the Iranian Embassy shouting “death to Iran” to protest the videos, which have gone viral.
The number of Afghan refugees fleeing to Iran has increased since the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan in August. Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said the number of Afghans in Iran jumped to 5 million from nearly 4 million before the Taliban took power.

Thai c.bank chief says growth a bigger worry than inflation for now
By Kay Johnson and Orathai Sriring
BANGKOK, April 11 (Reuters) - Thailand's central bank will focus monetary policy efforts on shoring up sluggish growth in Southeast Asia'a second-largest economy, its chief said on Monday, even as surging global price pressures force its peers to raise interest rates.
The central bank is among a shrinking number globally that continue to see inflationary pressures as transitory, with more concern given to a collapse in tourism caused by the pandemic and its long-term hit to growth.
Governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput in an interview said he expects the economy to have grown 1.8% year-on-year in the first quarter and that the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war would not derail the recovery.
"The economic recovery is still intact, slow and uneven," he told Reuters. "Our priority now is to ensure that the recovery remains intact".
The Bank of Thailand's monetary policy committee last month voted unanimously to hold the key rate THCBIR=ECI at an all-time low of 0.50%, where it has been since May 2020. Its next policy review is in June.
As the inflation spike is seen as temporary, "it's not good to have something that is a blunt response to a problem that is required a more targeted solution," Sethaput said.
While headline inflation, largely driven by supply-side pressures, will exceed the central bank's target range of 1-3% this year, it will likely come back to the target next year, Sethaput said.
"Long-term, medium-term inflation expectations still look relatively anchored in the 2-3% range," he said, adding "we haven't seen yields spike that sharply as a result of the higher inflation".
"We're not likely to see stagflation," Sethaput said, citing an increase in economic growth, not a deceleration.
TOURISM TROUBLES
Inflation hit a 13-year high of 5.73% in March, driven mostly by energy costs. The BOT last month raised its headline inflation forecast to 4.9% from 1.7% seen previously but projects inflation will then slow to 1.7% in 2023.
It lowered its 2022 economic growth forecast to 3.2% from 3.4% previously and next year's outlook to 4.4% from 4.7%.
The economy is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2023, lagging regional peers, Sethaput said.
"That's because we're very heavily reliant on tourism," he said of a sector that normally accounts for about 12% of gross domestic product and a fifth of jobs.
However, tourism's contribution to the economy might not return to those levels until 2026, in part due to China's travel restrictions.
The BOT expects 5.6 million foreign tourists this year and 19 million in 2023, well down from the nearly 40 million visitors in 2019.
Asked about future policy tightening, Sethaput said the central bank would watch for signs of "deviation from the expected recovery" such as second-round effects on prices and unanchored inflation expectations.
The chances of another round of inflation were low because of low employment, with recovery in tourism still weak, he earlier said.
Thailand has strong buffers, with low external debt and high foreign reserves, to withstand global volatility, he added.
The Thai baht's moves THB=TH have been largely driven by global factors, Sethaput said. The currency traded at a two-week low of about 33.6 per dollar on Monday.
"We don't like excessive volatility... but if the volatility or the movements in the currency, whether the dollar or the baht, are driven by fundamentals, then we're more accepting of those movements," he said.

In the lead-up to his latest EP, Trap Cake Vol. 2, Rauw Alejandro began building a visual world that hinges on escapism. For “Caprichoso,” he set sail and found himself lost at sea. Now, for his latest single, “Museo,” the Puerto Rican star escapes into the framed art of his own museum.
The visual centers on Alejandro as the main attraction, placing him under soft pink and orange hues as he becomes art. Around him, statues come to life, moving to the cruising beat.
Trap Cake Vol. 2 arrives with a revamp of creative energy for Alejandro as he zooms out to look at the bigger picture. As his visual world takes shape, the singer is also playing close attention to the conversation it creates sonically and how it translates to bigger stages and bolder presentations.
“Doing good music isn’t easy in terms of, like, after hit after hit. You feel like now you’re pickier. It’s like, ‘Oh shit, I need to be more strict — with the sounds, the lyrics, the melodies, everything’ . . . It gets stressful sometimes,” he told Rolling Stone in a recent cover story. “You’re doing the videos, you’re doing shoots, you’re doing production, you’re doing shows. Something is gonna mess up. It’s almost impossible. But it is what it is.”

Johnny Depp suit against Amber Heard starts with jury picks
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Jury selection began Monday in a long-anticipated libel lawsuit Johnny Depp filed against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, whom he accuses of falsely portraying him as a domestic abuser.
Depp sued Heard over an op-ed piece she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018 in which Heard refers to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” The article doesn’t mention Depp by name, but he says it clearly refers to allegations Heard made in other forums that she suffered physical abuse at his hands. Depp denies the accusations.
The lawsuit brought a little bit of Hollywood to a courthouse that has a long history of dealing with high-profile crimes, just not those involving movie stars.
More than a dozen women, some waving signs saying “Justice for Johnny,” joined other fans who waved pirate flags in recognition of Depp’s signature role in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, waited outside the courthouse an hour before the hearing.
The courtroom in the city of Fairfax was closed to the public Monday, with limited closed-circuit access in an overflow courtroom. People lined up before 7 a.m. for the wristbands granting access.
The judge overseeing the trial, Penney Azcarate, has imposed a series of access rules to try to maintain decorum in the courthouse. Most significantly, neither Depp nor Heard are permitted to pose for photos or sign autographs in the courthouse or on the courthouse grounds.
Depp’s fans have been vocal in their support, saying he has been falsely accused. Raylyn Otie, a Depp fan from Bluefield, Virginia, drove five hours to see the movie star. She was disappointed when Depp did not greet fans personally, as sheriff’s deputies carefully limited fan access.
“I’m so disappointed. I came to give him flowers to show some support,” she said, bouquet in hand.
In a separate lawsuit Depp filed against a British newspaper, a judge dismissed the case, finding that Depp assaulted Heard on a dozen occasions and put her in fear for her life on multiple occasions.
Heard has filed a countersuit against Depp that accuses his lawyers of defaming her at his direction.
Heard’s lawyers tried unsuccessfully to have the case moved to California, where the actors reside. A Fairfax judge ruled that Depp was within his rights to bring the case here because the Post’s online editions are published through servers located in Fairfax County. Depp’s lawyers have said they brought the case in Virginia in part because the laws here are more favorable to their case.
The trial is expected to last more than a month.

New Delhi [India], April 11 (ANI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested two people from Kolkata for allegedly operating unions on "PP Poker Online Gaming App" and placing illegal bets and gambling, the agency said on Monday.
Those arrested have been identified as Hardeep Singh and Ankur alias Rahul Khanna, both residents of Kolkata. The accused were arrested last week under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
The ED produced them before a Special Court last Friday and the court granted eight days of custody of the accused to the agency.
ED initiated money laundering investigation on the basis of First Information Report (FIR) registered by Goa Police under various Sections of Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of Goa, Daman and Diu Public Gambling Act, 1976 and Section 66-D of Information Technology Act, 2000 for illegal gaming activities and siphoning huge money through secret networks and thus causing loss to the government exchequer.

"Investigation by ED revealed that Hardeep Singh and Rahul Khanna, are operating 2-3 Unions namely, Checkraise, Mini-India, Russian Poker etc on PP Poker Online Gaming App," said the agency.
"Under each union, it is seen that around 25 to 30 clubs are being operated by different individuals. Through these clubs, individual players are invited vide WhatsApp chats for placing illegal bets through various poker gaming apps like PP Poker."
The agency further said, "It is seen that the commissions to the tune of 5 per cent to 10 per cent were generated by these clubs on each table running".
"The settlement of the commission and the betting amount is done mainly through hawala operators in cash or through cryptocurrency with each individual player and union head by their respective club managers."
On April 6, the ED had also conducted searches on the residential premises of Hardeep Singh and Rahul Khanna and other club managers and agents situated in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Goa. (ANI)

Minor's gang rape, death in West Bengal: Impose emergency in state, demands Suvendu Adhikari
On 5 April, a 14-year-old girl died after she was gang-raped in West Bengal's Nadia district. The deceased's family accused the son of a TMC panchayat leader in the case
Kolkata: Amid a row over the gang rape and death of a minor in West Bengal's Nadia, the Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Monday said Article 355 of the Indian Constitution should be imposed in the state.
Article 355 of the Constitution deals with an emergency provision by which the Centre can intervene and protect a state against external aggression or internal disturbance.
"Rule 355 should be imposed in West Bengal. The situation is very bad here. I met Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and sought a probe into the gang rape and death of a 14-year-old girl in Nadia. I will meet the family of the deceased tomorrow," said Adhikari.
The West Bengal Leader of Opposition called on Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday to discuss the issue.
West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) called for a 12-hour strike in Ranaghat today, seeking justice for the deceased minor.
On 5 April, a 14-year-old girl died after she was gang-raped in West Bengal's Nadia district. The deceased's family accused the son of a TMC panchayat leader in the case.
A case under sections 376(2)(G) (gangrape), 302 (murder), 204 (tampering with evidence) of the IPC and relevant sections of the POCSO) Act was registered in the case.
Meanwhile, chief minister Mamata Banerjee today said the state child commission will investigate the Nadia minor rape and murder case.

According to a release from the Stanton County Sheriff’s Office, a 2009 Lincoln was seen driving erratically and with its headlights off at around 10 p.m.
Stanton County Sheriff’s stopped the Lincoln on Highway 275 near Pilger. The release indicated that the driver, later identified as Chet Wilcox, 39, of Oregon, appeared to be under the influence.
Officials requested backup when Wilcox sped off heading east on Highway 275 into Cuming County. The release stated the high-speed pursuit continued from Cuming County through Wisner, Beemer, and West Point.
West Point Police Department attempted to stop the vehicle using deflation spikes which were unsuccessful. Wilcox continued through West Point into Dodge County, then back north into Burt County on Highway 77.
The release indicated that nearly an hour later, near Lyons on Highway 77, Wilcox was finally stopped. He claimed that he was a sovereign citizen and not required to submit to law enforcement.
After being medically cleared and taken into custody, he was found to be wanted in Georgia, Oklahoma, and South Carolina with a history of resisting arrest and assault on police officers.

Bearing Witness: Tatiana Felgengauer on the Plight of Russia's Independent Media
"I sometimes think that hatred is the basis of my country, that it’s the only thing that can unite people here."
GEOPOLITICS
A few days after the Ukraine crisis began, the Russian government passed two new laws making it virtually impossible to report the truth about what is happening in the war. Most of Russia’s beleaguered independent journalists—whose lives and work had become increasingly restricted and perilous over the last decade—decided that it was finally time to leave the country. Tatiana Felgengauer is one of the few who remained. The former deputy editor of the well respected Ekho Moskvy (Echo of Moscow) radio station, Felgengauer knows intimately what kind of dangers she faces; five years ago, after Russian state TV accused her of working for the United States, she was stabbed in the neck by an assailant who forced his way into her station. Despite that experience, and the fact that her former employer has been shuttered by the government, Felgengauer continues reporting from Moscow, providing a rare and thus indispensable window into what’s actually happening. We spoke on Friday about her journalism, the plight of Russia’s media, about Russian public opinion and Putin’s standing.
Octavian Report: What was the situation for independent media in Russia like before the current Ukraine crisis started?
Tatiana Felgengauer: You need to go back to 2014. That was the year Russia occupied Crimea and the Donbas—not with the regular Russian army, of course, but with what we call “little green men” or “polite people” [i.e. Russian mercenaries or soldiers out of uniform]. It was an annexation, but nobody called it that. The problems for the media started then, because our parliament passed a law stating that you cannot say that Russia “took” Crimea. No, Crimea had decided to join Russia by a referendum, and everything was fine.
If Putin had stopped with Crimea, that might have been the end of it. But Putin didn’t stop. He decided to continue by trying to take Donetsk and Luhansk. And this was not as easy as Crimea, because to be honest, people in Crimea wanted to be a part of Russia. Obviously Russia’s annexation of Crimea was illegal, but it was not against the people’s will. Ever since then, the propaganda has been growing, and it is continuing right now.
OR: But back in 2014, 2015, there was still an independent media able to report the truth, right?
Felgengauer: It was much better than it is today. We had more media than we have now. But when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine in July 2014, we saw the new script they began using. The authorities tried to confuse people about what had really happened, and the professional media couldn’t do anything because Russian officials just kept saying, “It wasn’t us. The plane was shot down by the Ukrainians.”
OR: But could you still do honest reporting?
Felgengauer: Yes, independent teams of journalists and investigators could work. It was much easier to do that than it is now, because there were not as many barriers imposed by officials.
OR: When did that start to change?
Felgengauer: It was a very smooth, gradual process. One by one, different media outlets were blocked. Or their owners would change, and the new owner would then change the editorial team.
The next big setback for the media here was when they passed the law about foreign agents. At first, it was only used against human rights groups. But then they began using it against journalists.
OR: And under that law, any organization that gets foreign funding has to register as a foreign agent, right?
Felgengauer: Technically, yes. But that’s not how the authorities use the law. They use anything as a pretext. If we had lunch together, and you paid for my coffee, then they could declare me a foreign agent because of you. And under the law, they created one more status that’s even worse than a foreign agent. I’m not sure what the precise English term is, but it means you are an undesirable or forbidden organization. This is what they did to Open Media and the MBKh news sites, which were supported by [oligarch-turned-dissident] Mikhail Khordorkovsy. And this designation is much more serious. It doesn’t just require you to disclose your funding, like the foreign-agent label does. If you get this classification, it means you are about go to prison, so you need to shut down your organization and leave the country.
Roskomnadzor [the federal agency responsible for monitoring and censoring the media] got the power to block anyone for anything, even without a court order or a warrant from prosecutors. If you get two citations from this department, then they can shut you down when you get your third. This iss very dangerous. Of course, it’s not so dangerous for us anymore, because we are no longer media.
OR: What happened after February 24 of this year, when Russia invaded Ukraine?
Felgengauer: With my radio station, Ekho Moskvy, there was no warning or warrant or anything. They just shut us down.
OR: When?
Felgengauer: Well, the war started on a Thursday. And they shut us down the following Tuesday.
OR: How? Did they revoke your license or send people into the station?
Felgengauer: No, they just flipped a switch. You know how radio works? You broadcast through a main transmitter, which is not in your office and which you can’t control. So they just shut us off. We were part of Gazprom Media, and after several days, their board decided they didn’t need a radio station that’s unable to broacast, so they liquidated us.
OR: Is there any independent media remaining in Russia today?
Felgengauer: Well, it’s so difficult, because right after the beginning of the war, the parliament passed two more laws restricting coverage. The first bans anything they can call fake news. And the second law prohibits writing or saying anything that could “discredit” the Russian military. The punishment for that is 15 years in prison. Now, what does it mean to discredit the Russian military? If you call what’s happening in Ukraine “a war” instead of a “special military operation,” that can qualify. A lot of people were detained just for carrying posters that said, “No war, no Nazism, no Fascism.” This law is pure censorship, and many journalists left the country as a result. So that is the answer to your question. We still have professional, independent media who write about Russia in Russian—but they are no longer in Russia. They all had to leave.
OR: Why did you stay?
Felgengauer: I’m very stubborn. And people have found ways to continue to work despite the two laws. Novaya Gazeta just blurred the forbidden words in their reports. It was fantastic, because it let you see what censorship actually looks like—you could see it with your own eyes. But unfortunately Novaya Gazeta got a second citation from Roskomnadzor, so they decided to stop their work. And now we have no such media anymore. And the really strange thing is that Roskomnadzor keeps shutting organizations down anyway. For example, yesterday they blocked a website that was about women and feminism, not about war. All the time they block and block and block.
OR: So how are you able to continue your work, which you now post on YouTube?
Felgengauer: On our radio station, we had both news and other programming. Right now, you can’t do the news part. So instead of reporting, I focus on commentary. I avoid mentioning specific figures, like the number of soldiers that have been lost, for example. And I don’t use words like “rocket” or “missile,” since that would be information involving the Russian military, which you’re not allowed to talk about.
OR: Are you able to criticize government policy at all?
Felgengauer: I do not, but I do. Of course, they can still say that it’s fake news or that I’m discrediting the military, but it’s not so obvious. I don’t know. If they want, they can find anything to get you. But I continue to call this a “war,” because that’s the truth.
OR: Even though saying that is now against the law?
Felgengauer: Yes. Because it really is a war. And saying that is more important than anything else.
OR: You could be doing this work from Yerevan or Istanbul or Baku, like many of your peers and colleagues. Why are you doing it in Moscow?
Felgengauer: I think there are very important things happening in Moscow, which I have to see for myself. I want to see, I want to understand how the air is changing. I want to see whether the people who print those big “Z” signs, who wear the emblem on their clothes, really want to or not. This kind of observation is really interesting and important.
OR: Given how overwhelming Russian state propaganda has become, do you think that people believe what say in your work? Or do they think, “Oh, Tatiana’s a foreign agent, she’s working for the Americans, she’s fake news.”
Felgengauer: The people who prefer propaganda don’t believe me, of course. But there are a lot of people in Russia who still need the truth, objective information, and professional journalism. They have lost a lot of the media they used to listen to, watch, and read. We cannot leave these people alone against the government’s propaganda. We need to create new channels offering honest information.
OR: Who are these people?
Felgengauer: They vary. They are of different ages and come from different social strata, with different incomes. They could be teachers, workers, unemployed, anyone. But one thing unites them: they have critical minds and their own brains.
OR: Do you have any sense of how most Russians actually feel about the war in Ukraine?
Felgengauer: I have no idea. I don’t think anybody knows. It’s impossible to do sociological studies in a totalitarian country. People are really scared. They don’t want to answer questions. They don’t want to tell the truth. So any poll results you see right now are fake.
OR: Do you think that if Russians knew the truth about how badly the war is going for the military right now, and about the war crimes in Bucha and Kharkiv and elsewhere, that it would make a difference?
Felgengauer: Many people here don’t want to know. For people who prefer propaganda, it’s too painful to accept the truth. They want to avoid these terrible pictures and believe that it’s all just a movie, or images generated by a computer. They prefer to hide. And remember that we had two terrible wars inside Russia—in Chechnya—and Russian soldiers did the same things there.
OR: Given what you just said, can you imagine a scenario where the Russian public turns against the war and turns against Putin?
Felgengauer: Well, those are two different scenarios, because people might be against Putin but not against the war. Because the only thing most Russians care about is survival. They need to earn money and they need to use this money to buy food to eat. That means that in several months, there might be problems because of the sanctions, and because the war is really expensive. And then people might start to ask what happened. But the government will always find enemies to blame, like traitors, journalists, human rights advocates, or LGBT people. These are the main enemies of the great Russia. So I’m not sure people will blame Putin.
OR: Do you think there’s anything that could make Putin change his policy in Ukraine?
Felgengauer: I don’t think so. It is his obsession. He is obsessed with the idea that Ukraine is not a real country, that it’s not an independent country, and that it shouldn’t exist. And if he still hasn’t realized how terribly mistaken he is, I don’t think anything will stop him.
OR: Don’t Russians see the contradictions in Putin’s rhetoric? If Ukrainians are actually Russians, and he’s killing Ukrainians, then he’s killing Russians.
Felgengauer: No, no. He hasn’t said that they are actually Russians. He’s said there is no such country as Ukraine, and that the people there are all Nazis and sons of [the fascist Ukrainian nationalist Stepan] Bandera. He doesn’t see the Ukrainians as people. And many ordinary Russians don’t see them as people either. Honestly, Russians don’t see anyone as people except for other Russians. I’m sorry, but I’m a Jew, so I can say that.
OR: Where does that attitude come from?
Felgengauer: I don’t know. Maybe because of our very difficult history. And maybe because of our confused identity. Inside the Russian Federation, we have Russians, Jews, Chechens, and many others—others, others, and others. They are all different people, different nations. We have no internal unity; there is no united people of Russia. I can’t explain why, but I sometimes think that hatred is the basis of my country, that it’s the only thing that can unite people here.
OR: All countries commit crimes when they go to war. The United States has committed many atrocities. But at least since Vietnam, targeting civilians has not been part of deliberate U.S. policy. What we’re seeing in Ukraine now, what we saw in Aleppo, what we saw in Grozny, seems to be a deliberate, intentional Russian policy of using atrocities as part of state policy. What is it about Russian culture that makes that ok?
Felgengauer: How much do you know about torture in Russia? About domestic violence? It’s a part of our life, part of our reality. It’s what people here they do to their wives, with prisoners, and in war. Six months ago, there was a huge scandal about the amount of torture committed in Russian prisons. But it was not an accident. It part of an organized, comprehensive system.
OR: Is there anything that we in the United States or the West—either as people or on the government level—can do to help the Russian media and the Russian people?
Felgengauer: I think the main thing is try to explain that not all Russian people support this war. Don’t blame us all for Putin; it’s not my fault that he’s still president. A lot of people did their best to stop this regime. But it’s not easy to stop Putin, especially if the West continues to do business with him. So don’t blame us all, and please remember that we are different from each other and from him. A lot of us really tried to stop him, and keep trying despite everything. That’s the first thing.
The second is to remember that Russia’s independent media is collateral damage. Independent journalists here cannot earn money anymore because of the sanctions. I understand that. It’s difficult, but I accept it. But we’re in a strange situation. Inside Russia, I am considered an enemy of my country. Yet outside the country, I am seen as an enemy by the whole world because I’m from Russia. It’s not very pleasant, but I have to accept it.

The Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) has entered into an agreement with the Association of Startups and SME Enablers of Kenya.
In a statement, the parties said the deal would see them develop and streamline a national innovation system that facilitates the commercialisation of startup innovations.
Pushing for policies
The parties will undertake the commercialisation by initiating and implementing policies, standards, and infrastructure that nurture the startup innovation ecosystem in Kenya (ASSEK).
PAY ATTENTION: Join TUKO.co.ke Telegram channel! Never miss important updates
The deal seeks to address challenges that startups and entrepreneurs face while creating an enabling environment for innovation at the county and national level ahead of the forthcoming annual Kenya Innovation Week, ASSEK Annual Conference and future activities between these two parties.
ASSEK CEO Mercy Kimalat lauded the partnership, terming it a critical milestone in data harnessing that would help establish baseline reports and help steer the entrepreneurship innovation ecosystem forward.
“The strategic partnership with KeNIA comes at an opportune time as ASSEK is currently developing a digital platform that will map out Kenyan Entrepreneur Support Organisations who work with startups and SMEs,” she said.
Enhancing innovation
KeNIA CEO Tonny Omwansa said the initiative would provide an opportunity for encouraging academia to enhance innovation efforts in their research, which would catalyse technologically enabled entrepreneurship ventures.
He added that ASSEK would undoubtedly strengthen the government support and coordination of the Entrepreneurship Support Organisations, which are crucial in Kenya’s attaining the vision of 2030.
KeNIA also revealed that it had begun an effort to develop a ten-year National Innovation Masterplan, national guidelines on commercialisation and coordination of innovation hubs, all of which would be released during the Kenya Innovation week later in the year.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa appealed Monday for an end to protests calling for his resignation over his handling of the worst economic crisis in decades, saying his government is launching a plan to rebuild the country.
In a televised speech to the nation, he asked for patience and told the protesters that “every second” spent demonstrating on the streets takes away opportunities to receive crucial foreign currency.
Protesters, meanwhile, continued occupying the entrance to the president’s office for a third day Monday demanding he step down.
The Indian Ocean island nation is on the brink of bankruptcy, saddled with dwindling foreign reserves and $25 billion in foreign debt to be repaid over the next five years, of which nearly $7 billion is due this year. Talks with the International Monetary Fund are expected later this month, and the government has turned to China and India for emergency loans to buy food and fuel.
For months, Sri Lankans have stood in long lines to buy fuel, cooking gas, food and medicines, most of which come from abroad and are paid for in hard currency. The fuel shortage has caused rolling power cuts lasting several hours a day.
Rajapaksa blamed the foreign exchange crisis on COVID-19 restrictions and the loss of crucial tourism income.
“We are embarking on an enormous program to overcome the crisis we face today. Every second spent by the president and this government is used up exhausting avenues to rebuild our country,” he said.
“Friends, every second you protest on the streets, our country loses opportunities to receive potential dollars,” he said.
Much of the anger expressed by weeks of growing protests has been directed at the Rajapaksa family, which been in power for most of the past two decades. Critics accuse the family of borrowing heavily to finance projects that have earned no money, such as a port facility built with Chinese loans.
Even Rajapaksa’s estranged former coalition allies are calling for him to be replaced with an interim prime minister and a multiparty government. They say they don’t want the powerful Rajapaksa family in an interim government because it is at the center of the public ire.
Rajapaksa refused in his speech to yield power, saying the governing coalition will continue to rule Sri Lanka because opposition parties rejected his call for a unity government.
“We invited all political parties represented in Parliament to join us and uplift the country. But they did not join us,” Rajapaksa said. “As the party in power we took up that responsibility.”
The crisis and protests triggered the Cabinet’s resignation. Four ministers were sworn in as caretakers, but much of the key portfolios are vacant.
Parliament has failed to reach a consensus on how to deal with the crisis after nearly 40 governing coalition lawmakers said they would no longer vote according to coalition instructions, significantly weakening the government.
With opposition parties divided, they too have not been able to form a majority and take control of Parliament.

It might seem straightforward, but people have very different opinions on how often you should wash your bedding, what temperature it's best to wash sheets at, and whether it's okay to tumble dry your bedding or not. This guide is here to answer all those questions and more.
Before we start, the golden rule is to check the care label first, to make sure there aren't any special washing instructions you need to follow. If there are, obviously, follow these instructions first and foremost. If not, read on for some general rules on how to clean your bedding effectively. If you invest in some of the best sheets, they'll be designed to wash well and last a long time.
How often should you wash your bedding?
The general rule is you should wash your bed sheets once a week, or once a fortnight at the longest. That's for all the bits of the bed that are in direct contact with your skin – so, in the UK that's things like sheets, your duvet cover and pillow cases.
If you're not sleeping in your bed every night, or it's cooler weather and you're not sweating at night, you could stretch to once a fortnight.
If you have pets, and especially if you let those pets sleep in your bed, you should be washing your sheets once every 3-4 days. If you suffer from seasonal allergy flare-ups, you might also want to wash your sheets more than once a week during the summer months, and ditto if you find yourself sweatier than usual in hot weather.
Why do you need to wash your sheets so often? Well, if you spend 8 hours a night in bed, that's 56 hours a week. Which is plenty of time for dirt, dead skin cells, sweat, body oils, and dust mites to build up. (For context, consider how many hours you'd typically wear a piece of clothing like a shirt or top for before washing it.)
While sleeping in a bed full of old sweat isn't hugely appealing, it's the dust mites that will perhaps cause the most problems the quickest. Dust mites (or, often, their droppings) can lead to skin irritation and allergy flare ups. Washing your bedding is a key way to get rid of dust mites.
What temperature should you wash sheets at?
Ideally, you should wash your sheets at at least 60C (140F). This is the temperature required to kill dust mites and bacteria. In the US, check your machine's settings – a hot wash is typically 130 degrees Fahrenheit or above.
However, start by checking the care instructions on the label on your sheets. Cotton can typically tolerate hot temperatures, whereas materials such as polyester can only be washed in warm water. For the most effective wash, use the hottest temperature listed.
Washing at lower temperatures is more environmentally friendly, but won't clean as effectively. Below 60C, the wash might dissolve the dust mite droppings that cause most people's allergies, but it won't kill the mites themselves, so it's only a temporary solution.
How about the rest of the bed?
We've established you should aim to should wash your sheets once a week. But what about the rest of your bedding? It's less often, you'll be pleased to hear, but don't forget about it altogether.
Pillows should be washed once every 4-6 months, provided you've chosen a pillow type that is washable (check the care label, this isn't true of all pillows). Here's how to clean a pillow.
Blankets and throws should be washed once every 2-3 months.
Your mattress should be cleaned once every 6 months or so. Here's how to clean a mattress (and how to clean a memory foam mattress, specifically). Properly cleaning a mattress isn't especially easy, so a couple of preventative measures you can take that will help are to vacuum your mattress regularly to bring up the surface layer of dust, and add a protector, which can be washed much more easily than a mattress can. Consult our best mattress protector guide for our top recommendations.
Do I need to wash new bedding?
Yes, you should probably wash new sheets before sleeping in them. Packaged sheets may still have the chemical remnants from the manufacturing process on them – including, mainly, a starch known as 'sizing', which is used to keep them smooth. This can make them feel scratchy and, in some people, cause skin irritation. If you don't have sensitive skin, you'll probably get away with not washing your new sheets before sticking them on your bed, though.
How should I dry my bed sheets?
If the weather is fine, and you have space to do so, line drying your bedding is a great option. It's kinder on the fabric fibres than tumble drying, so could help your sheets last longer, and the sun's UV rays can help kill lingering bacteria. It's also free and eco-friendly.
If it's rainy or you're short on space, provided the care label says your sheets are suitable for tumble drying, this is another option. However, make sure you use the low heat setting. A high heat can damage the fibres in your bedding, including the damage the elastic if you have fitted sheets. A low heat setting help reduce creasing. Avoid tumble dryer sheets, too.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Two families with transgender teens and two physicians sued the state of Alabama on Monday to overturn a law that makes it a crime for doctors to treat trans youth under 19 with puberty blockers or hormones to help affirm their gender identity.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court three days after Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed the measure into law.
“By signing SB 184 Governor Ivey has told kind, loving, and loyal Alabama families that they cannot stay here without denying their children the basic medical care they need,” Dr. Morissa Ladinsky, one of the plaintiffs, said in a statement. “She has undermined the health and well-being of Alabama children and put doctors like me in the horrifying position of choosing between ignoring the medical needs of our patients or risking being sent to prison.”
The parents of a 13-year-old transgender girl in Jefferson County and a 17-year-old transgender boy in Shelby County are participating in the lawsuit. The plaintiffs are known as Roe and Doe in the court filing to protect the children's identities.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, the Human Rights Campaign, which is a national advocacy group for the LGBTQ community, and other groups are representing the plaintiffs. The Law Center announced the suit in a news release.
The Alabama law, which will go into effect May 8 unless blocked by the court, will make it a felony for a doctor to prescribe puberty blockers or hormones to aid in the gender transition of anyone under age 19. Violations will be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. It also prohibits gender transition surgeries, although doctors told lawmakers those are generally not done on minors.
Ivey signed the legislation on Friday, a day after it was approved by the Alabama Legislature.
“I believe very strongly that if the Good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy, and if he made you a girl, you are a girl,” said Ivey, who faces a May primary with conservative opponents trying to outflank her on her right. “We should especially protect our children from these radical, life-altering drugs and surgeries when they are at such a vulnerable stage in life. Instead, let us all focus on helping them to properly develop into the adults God intended them to be.”
Asked for a response to the legislation, Ivey spokeswoman Gina Maiola replied, "We are prepared to defend our values and this legislation.”
Similar measures have been pushed in other states, but the Alabama legislation is the first to put criminal penalties on doctors.
In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the state’s child welfare agency to investigate as abuse reports of gender-confirming care for kids. And a law in Arkansas bans gender-affirming medications. That law has been blocked by a court, however.
Ivey also signed a separate measure that requires students to use bathrooms that align with their original birth certificate and prohibits instruction of gender and sexual identity in kindergarten through fifth grades.

When the Cybertruck first debuted, I’ll admit I was intrigued. It looked like nothing else on the roads, a wholly unique take on the pickup truck genre that had grown so stagnant over the years. Did I ever think it would reach production? Absolutely not, especially looking the way it did in that reveal. But Tesla keeps claiming it will and even showed off an updated prototype at the Cyber Rodeo to prove it. The only problem? The new prototype looks bad.
Despite the Cyber Rodeo’s lax guest list, or perhaps because of how strict it turned out to be, few people outside the Tesla faithful got the chance to enter the hallowed halls of the Texas Gigafactory. Luckily, those who did gain entrance (like YouTube channel Cyber Owners) posted their experience online — making it easier for people around the world to gawk at the flaws in the new Cybertruck design.
Even from its on-stage appearance, the fit and finish on the Cybertruck looked bad. The doors are a wholly different color from the rest of the truck, and the entire rear end looks dented, dinged, and scuffed. A closer view, in more even lighting, shows all that and more.
Not only do the panels that form the roof not align, but none of them even seem to be flat or curved to fit each other. Everything is bowed, bent at strange angles, leaving room for massive panel gaps. Hopefully they don’t leak.
Moving down the truck, things don’t improve. The roof doesn’t line up with the window weather stripping, which doesn’t line up with the window. The pillar, running between the front and rear windows, doesn’t even seem to fully meet the windowsills and the rest of the body.
The A pillar is noticeably scuffed, and the panel gap between the fender and the door is wildly uneven. This angle also shoes off how much darker and warmer-toned the front of the truck is than the doors. Maybe the finish on the outer skins is different between those panels?
The video shows exposed plastic clips, sheet metal bent at odd angles, even areas (like the one surrounding the backup camera) that appear to be held together with packing tape. Some shortcuts are expected with a prototype, but this seems like a step too far. This is meant to be the ”production-ready” version of the Cybertruck, but it seems there’s a lot of work to be done.

The saw-wielders in the North Woods Lumberjack Show won't be the only stars yelling out "Timber!" at the Minnesota State Fair this year.
Miami's party-starter rapper and "singer" Pitbull has been announced as another headliner for the fair's grandstand 2022 concert series on Sunday, Aug. 28, with "Fancy" hitmaker Iggy Azalea also on the bill.
The Sunday night show is part of a 50-city tour featuring the two 2010s hitmakers. Tickets ($39-$84) go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via eTix.com or 800-514-3849.
Even though he hasn't landed a sizable radio hit since 2015 — and he relied on guest singers to buoy all his hits before that, including "Timber," "Fireball," "Feel This Moment" and "Time of Our Lives" — Pitbull has remained a popular booking for festive events in the Twin Cities. Those include the inaugural TC Summer Jam, Mystic Lake Casino amphitheater and last December's KDWB Jingle Ball, where he boldly lashed out at social turmoil of the past couple years by decreeing, "I don't know about you, but I feel good."
Surprisingly, Azalea is one of the few pop hitmakers who has not appeared in one of Pitbull's hit songs; but you can probably count on them releasing a song together before the tour begins. The Australian rapper is touring to promote her third album, "End of an Era."
Here's where their show fits in with the rest of the Minnesota State Fair's 2022 grandstand concert series announced so far (seven more dates are still TBA):
- Thursday, Aug. 25: Alice in Chains, Breaking Benjamin & Bush
- Sunday, Aug. 28: Pitbull and Iggy Azalea
- Tuesday, Aug. 30: Jim Gaffigan
- Friday, Sept. 2: Zac Brown Band & Robert Randolph Band
- Saturday, Sept. 3: Diana Ross with Naturally 7

IL Dems Pass Law That Private Businesses Have to Advertise for Them or Pay $500/Day in Fines
Lest residents not be sufficiently grateful for their actions, Illinois politicians are trying to force retailers to post signs informing the public of some “tax relief” actions that were taken as part of the state’s new budget.
Legislation demands, on pain of being fined, that gas stations post stickers on pumps proclaiming that a gas tax increase that would have taken effect July 1 has been scrapped, according to The Center Square.
The Illinois gas tax had been expected to increase about 2.2 cents per gallon. The state suspended the increase for six months in a year when all the seats in the Democrat-dominated legislature are up for grabs. Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker is also facing re-election.
Scot Bertram of Hillsdale College said the provision was included in a budget passed around 3 a.m. Saturday.
At around 3am Saturday morning, Illinois Democrats passed a budget that includes provisions that force private businesses, under penalty of large fines, to take part in free election-year advertising for the Governor and his party. pic.twitter.com/S6FPRZloLw
— Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) April 10, 2022
The stickers are required to say, “As of July 1, 2022, the State of Illinois has suspended the inflation adjustment to the motor fuel tax through December 31, 2022. The price on this pump should reflect the suspension of the tax increase.”
Anyone not posting the sticker could be fined $500 a day. That comes to $65,000 if a holdout refuses to post a sticker between now and Election Day in November, the report said.
Republican state Rep. Mark Batinick said the burdensome gas tax undercuts any gratitude that residents might feel.
“So is the sticker going to say, ‘Hey, gas is 50 cents more a gallon over here across the border or across the river, it would have been 52.2 cents more, but here’s a sticker to say it’s only 50 cents more’?” Batinick said, according to the Center Square.
Josh Sharp of the Illinois Fuel and Retail Association said the sticker demand is unconstitutional.
“This industry won’t be forced into offering free election-year advertising for the Governor,” Sharp said in a statement.
“Ordering businesses to take part in speech that is compelled by the government under the threat of fines and criminal penalties is unwise and unconstitutional,” he said.
Sharp said he expected retailers would sue rather than submit to the state.
In 2019, Illinois’ gas tax was doubled, with the provision of an inflationary increase after that. It was that increase that the legislators put on hold.
Grocery stores also have to proclaim the wonders of state government under the legislation, the Center Square reported.
Stores would be required to print on receipts “to the extent feasible” that the state suspended the 1 percent grocery tax for a year.
The required message reads, “From July 1, 2022, through July 1, 2023, the State of Illinois sales tax on groceries is 0%.”
Bigger notice is welcome as an alternative, according to the report.
The legislation said that “if it is not feasible for the retailer to include the statement on any cash register tape, receipt, invoice, or sales ticket issued to customers, then the retailer shall post the statement on a sign that is clearly visible to customers.
“The sign shall be no smaller than 4 inches by 8 inches.”

The Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers don’t have to look far for a late-season showdown.
It arrives with Tuesday night’s meeting in New York.
The Hurricanes have won just two of their last five games, but Sunday’s 5-2 victory against the Anaheim Ducks could catapult them to better things.
“We haven’t had our best hockey as of late,” Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin said. “Hopefully we can keep that momentum going and take advantage of it.”
The Rangers have been off since Saturday, when they stretched their winning streak to three games. They’ve outscored their opponents by a combined 11-2 in those games.
“I feel like this has snuck up on us a little bit,” Rangers center Ryan Strome said. “You reach the 100-point mark and you clinch a playoff spot. It’s just a good feeling. I think we’ve come a long way as a group.”
Carolina (47-18-8, 102 points) and New York (47-20-6, 100 points) split their first two meetings this season.
The top two teams in the Metropolitan Division already have secured a spot in the playoffs, though now it’s a matter of sorting out the order of finish. Both have played 73 games.
“Now the fun stuff starts and the work begins,” Strome said. “I just think we’ve been focused every day.”
Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said the team has been winning the right way.
“We’ve won games a lot of different ways this year,” Gallant said. “We’ve felt good about that. They stuck together. Again, it’s not over yet. We’ve got nine big games to play and finish as high as we can.”
The importance of the Hurricanes-Rangers game can’t be understated. To Gallant, the first objective was to qualify for the playoffs and next on the to-do list is to be in position for as many series with home-ice advantage as possible.
That message has been received by the Rangers players.
“Now it’s about building our game, trying to secure home ice,” New York left winger Chris Kreider said. “The whole year, the whole team has played incredibly well.”
The Rangers are 7-1-1 in their last nine games.
Carolina captain Jordan Staal notched his first hat trick in nearly a decade Sunday night. It’s part of a late-season surge in which he has racked up 11 goals across the last 29 games.
“I just try to play my game,” Staal said. “That’s being reliable, being strong at both ends. When the puck starts to go in, it always feels good.”
Hurricanes right winger Andrei Svechnikov has a team-high 20 multi-point games this season. He has career highs for goals (28) and points (64).
Staal wants the Hurricanes to maintain their general approach. They’ve racked up 32 or more shots on goal in five of their last six games.
“Just play that solid game that everyone needs to play to help us win,” Staal said.
Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour holds a 167-84-28 regular-season record, matching his former coach, Peter Laviolette, for the second-most wins in franchise history.
The teams meet again April 26 in Carolina’s regular-season home finale.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Two families with transgender teens and two physicians sued the state of Alabama on Monday to overturn a law that makes it a crime for doctors to treat trans youth under 19 with puberty blockers or hormones to help affirm their gender identity.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court three days after Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed the measure into law.
“By signing SB 184 Governor Ivey has told kind, loving, and loyal Alabama families that they cannot stay here without denying their children the basic medical care they need,” Dr. Morissa Ladinsky, one of the plaintiffs, said in a statement. “She has undermined the health and well-being of Alabama children and put doctors like me in the horrifying position of choosing between ignoring the medical needs of our patients or risking being sent to prison.”
The parents of a 13-year-old transgender girl in Jefferson County and a 17-year-old transgender boy in Shelby County are participating in the lawsuit. The plaintiffs are known as Roe and Doe in the court filing to protect the children's identities.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, the Human Rights Campaign, which is a national advocacy group for the LGBTQ community, and other groups are representing the plaintiffs. The Law Center announced the suit in a news release.
The Alabama law, which will go into effect May 8 unless blocked by the court, will make it a felony for a doctor to prescribe puberty blockers or hormones to aid in the gender transition of anyone under age 19. Violations will be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. It also prohibits gender transition surgeries, although doctors told lawmakers those are generally not done on minors.
Ivey signed the legislation on Friday, a day after it was approved by the Alabama Legislature.
“I believe very strongly that if the Good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy, and if he made you a girl, you are a girl,” said Ivey, who faces a May primary with conservative opponents trying to outflank her on her right. “We should especially protect our children from these radical, life-altering drugs and surgeries when they are at such a vulnerable stage in life. Instead, let us all focus on helping them to properly develop into the adults God intended them to be.”
Asked for a response to the legislation, Ivey spokeswoman Gina Maiola replied, "We are prepared to defend our values and this legislation.”
Similar measures have been pushed in other states, but the Alabama legislation is the first to put criminal penalties on doctors.
In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the state’s child welfare agency to investigate as abuse reports of gender-confirming care for kids. And a law in Arkansas bans gender-affirming medications. That law has been blocked by a court, however.
Ivey also signed a separate measure that requires students to use bathrooms that align with their original birth certificate and prohibits instruction of gender and sexual identity in kindergarten through fifth grades.

Kim Kardashian Is Rocking Another Gravity-Defying Dress (And Seriously How Does It Stay On?)
By Adrienne Jones published
Kim Kardashian knows how to bring the sexy in a barely-there dress!
It’s been a very rough couple of years for Kim Kardashian in many respects. Not only did she feel the need to file for divorce from Kanye West in early 2021, but once she started to move on in her romantic life with SNL star Pete Davidson, West began a series of public attacks against Kardashian and her new beau. Through all of the ups and downs, The Kardashians (which is part of the 2022 TV schedule) star has continued to give her fans what they want, and served up a number of hot looks. Now Kim Kardashian has rocked yet another gravity-defying dress, and I’m hard pressed to understand how it stayed on.
Kim Kardashian’s Most Recent Gravity-Defying Dress
We all know that Kim Kardashian and many members of her extremely famous family are experts when it comes to keeping things sexy and intriguing on social media, so the mother of four is no stranger to a revealing bikini pic or otherwise eye-popping thirst trap photo. The SKIMS founder has taken to Instagram to post a picture of herself donning another dress that seems to defy gravity, and I think you’ll agree that most women would be nervous to even try this silky number on:
A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) (opens in new tab)
A photo posted by on
OK, Ms. Kardashian. We see you. I didn’t go through all of the comments on her post, but I’d be surprised if there’s not a Paris Hilton approved “That’s hot” note somewhere in the many responses.
If you’re staring at the series of pictures Kardashian posted and still wondering how this bra-cup-long-skirt ensemble is staying on her body while she cavorts up against a very fancy wall, I have finally noticed at least one ingredient to that secret sauce. And, it’s one tiny, clear plastic strap that looks to connect Kardashian’s bra cups in the back. I doubt that this is the only factor, though, as celebs who wear revealing outfits have been taping themselves into clothing for many years now. So, there is likely at least a bit of tape involved in her underpinnings, as well.
While four of the five pictures that Kardashian shared are simply super sexy, my favorite is the penultimate one, which shows her making a move that many a woman in a strapless dress has made. Sometimes, even if you’re taped into your dress, you still gotta hoist the boobage up so you don’t show your goodies to the world, alright?
Kardashian recently stepped out to do the red carpet of the premiere for The Kardashians by herself, and not only was her new boyfriend in attendance, but she seems to be interested in going the distance in her romance with Davidson. Her feeling totally at home in barely-there items like this gravity-defying dress might be one reason why Pete Davidson had himself branded with Kim Kardashian’s name, and her fans have always known that she can deliver the sexy whenever she wants.

The airlines with the most delays
(Stacker) - When you’ve already waited in line to check your luggage, waited to get through TSA screening, and then waited some more for overpriced coffee or bottled water, the last thing you want to do is wait even more for your plane to board and take off. The sad truth, however, is that air travel is a waiting game, especially if you fly with airlines or out of airports where delays are as commonplace as cramped onboard legroom and crying babies.
Stacker went through data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) to determine the percentage of delayed flights among all airlines. We looked at the most recent data available—reported by the airlines to the BTS from December 2020 to December 2021—and defined “delayed” as a flight that arrived at its destination at least 15 minutes after its scheduled arrival time. We also identified the most troublesome airport—the one with at least 100 flights during the reporting period and the highest percentage of delayed flights—for each airline.
Both mainline carriers and branded codeshare partners (airlines that only staff, maintain, and operate planes) were considered. You might wonder why Orlando and Aguadilla (Puerto Rico) are the only airports with the worst record for delays for two airlines each on our list.
#17. Endeavor Air Inc.
- On-time flights: 91%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Orlando, FL: Orlando International
Delta-owned Endeavor Air, which operates Delta Connection planes, may be under the radar; but it boasts the distinction of having fewer delayed flights than any U.S. carrier on our list.
Its excellent on-time status is probably due to the fact that it operates mainly from regional airports, which are subject to fewer delays due to lighter air traffic. But it also operates out of major airports, including hubs in New York City, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Detroit, and Cincinnati—and super-busy Orlando. Its 192 regional jets service 140 destinations in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean with 900 daily flights.
#16. Hawaiian Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 91%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Orlando, FL: Orlando International
Because so many Hawaiian Airlines flights go to the 50th state, where weather delays are relatively rare, its on-time record is exemplary. Hawaiian, in fact, routinely tops on-time performance lists and receives the fewest complaints about cancellations, overbooking, and baggage-handling problems.
With the continual expansion of its routes since its launch in 1941, it now flies throughout the Pacific and the continental U.S.-—even to Orlando, where Hawaiian Airlines passengers endure the most delays. Orlando has the second-worst on-time percentage (24%) of all major U.S. airports because it’s America’s leading family travel destination (i.e. home to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort).
#15. Delta Air Lines Inc.
- On-time flights: 88%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Kahului, HI: Kahului Airport
Delta is the only airline in the top eight on our list that ranks among the five largest U.S. airlines: second in passengers carried and miles flown, third in fleet size, and fifth in the number of routes and destinations. Infrequent delays represent one reason why Fodor’s ranks it as the #1 U.S. airline. Its flights to Kahului (Maui), where airport expansion has been debated for decades, are delayed most often.
#14. Horizon Air
- On-time flights: 87%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Dallas, TX: Dallas Love Field
Horizon, Alaska Airlines’ regional carrier, serves dozens of destinations in the Western U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with Milwaukee the only destination east of the Mississippi. The light air traffic in Western outposts such as Wichita, Kansas; Walla Walla, Washington; and Dillingham, Alaska keep it on time almost all the time; only two of the 10 U.S. airports with the worst on-time stats are in the West. Horizon also flies to a handful of major Western cities, which does drag those stats down. Its hubs are Seattle, where it started out as a small regional carrier, and Portland, Oregon, while Dallas is the city where you’re most likely to be delayed on a Horizon flight.
#13. Republic Airways
- On-time flights: 87%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Lansing, MI: Capital Region International
You know how some wineries produce wines from grapes purchased from growers in the next county—but the growers don’t get any credit when awards are handed out? You haven’t heard of Republic Airways.
The airline operates regional flights on behalf of United Express, American Eagle, and Delta Connection. Republic gets credit for its solid on-time percentage, even though the airline benefit from flying in and out of quiet airports like Bangor, Maine, and Lansing, Michigan—where snow and ice on the runways contribute to the frequency of delays.
#12. PSA Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 86%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Traverse City, MI: Cherry Capital
PSA operated for a few years in the 1990s as an independent airline but now operates planes exclusively on American Eagle regional routes. Almost all of its nearly 100 destinations are small cities in the eastern half of the U.S. This focus on small cities like Traverse City, Michigan—where winter weather delays make it the airline’s most problematic airport—generally keep delays to a minimum.
#11. Envoy Air
- On-time flights: 85%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Burlington, VT: Burlington International
Envoy, like PSA, is an airline you’ve never heard of because they “only” staff, maintain, and operate American Eagle planes, while American Airlines handles the sales, marketing, and scheduling of flights.
Also like PSA, Envoy flies primarily to smaller cities—more than 150 destinations throughout North and South America, making it American Airlines’ busiest regional partner. The snows of Burlington, Vermont, can be blamed for Envoy’s mediocre on-time percentage there.
#10. SkyWest Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 85%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Panama City, FL: Northwest Florida Beaches International
Because it serves so many masters—operating flights for American, Alaska, United, and Delta—SkyWest is the busiest regional airline in the U.S. The airline delayed more than 1,300 flights in October 2021 due to a server outage.
#9. Alaska Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 84%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Adak Island, AK: Adak
Alaska is nearly triple the size of Texas, leading many Alaskans to treat flying like most of us treat driving—although blizzards and icy runways can make flying there a challenge.
It’s safe to say that if an airline can make it in Alaska, it can make it anywhere; and Alaska Airlines has indeed “made it” as a major carrier throughout Canada, Mexico, and most of the other 49 states. Among major airlines, only Delta has a lower percentage of delayed flights. True to its roots, Alaska still flies to tiny Adak Island (pop. 326), where frequent delays can be attributed to the Aleutian island’s fierce winds and 173 annual days of fog.
#8. American Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 83%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Lubbock, TX: Lubbock Preston Smith International
No U.S. airline transports more passengers than American. Its on-time performance is not bad, though rivals Delta and Alaska do better. Besides 230 U.S. destinations, the behemoth flies to 121 foreign destinations in 62 countries on every continent except Africa. A recent $42 million renovation of Lubbock Airport may help end its status as the worst destination in the U.S. for delays.
#7. United Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 83%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Aguadilla, PR: Rafael Hernandez
United paid a record $1.9 million fine last year for subjecting the passengers of 25 flights between 2015 and 2021 to lengthy tarmac delays. And it hasn’t exactly improved over the years, slipping from an 85% on-time record (third-best among major U.S. airlines) in 2010 to 83.75% (only seventh-best) in 2020. Delays in the not-so-friendly United skies are most common in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, because it’s a popular beach getaway city with only one departure gate and a 1930s runway due to be replaced.
#6. Mesa Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 81%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Montgomery, AL: Montgomery Regional
Mesa is a midsized airline that operates jets for American Eagle and United Express. It became America’s first regional airline to exclusively fly large jets in 2010, with most flights transporting passengers from small airports to six U.S. hub cities (Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Washington D.C.). If you’re itching to leave Alabama, though, you might need to cool your heels for a while as flight delays leaving Birmingham are common.
#5. Spirit Airlines
- On-time flights: 80%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Aguadilla, PR: Rafael Hernandez
If Spirit played on a Little League team, it would be awarded the “most improved” trophy. In 2017, it was dead last (68%) among major U.S. airlines for on-time arrivals. Moving up to fifth-worst ain’t bad, though it’s still in the bottom half on our list. It’s America’s largest ultra-low-cost airline and is expected to merge this year with Frontier in a $6.6 billion deal.
#4. Southwest Airlines Co.
- On-time flights: 79%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Chicago, IL: Chicago O’Hare International
Southwest endeared itself to many loyal passengers with its flexible ticketing policy and free checked bags, but its propensity for delays nearly eclipses those benefits. And it does no worse anywhere in the world than at famously frustrating Chicago O’Hare, where delays are something of a regular occurrence due to snow, severe rain, staffing shortages, and simply too many flights on any given day.
#3. Frontier Airlines Inc.
- On-time flights: 79%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Newark, NJ: Newark Liberty International
There’s one list that Frontier tops by a wide margin, but you won’t see it in any of the airline’s ads. It was #1 by far in the number of complaints per passenger between July 2020 and September 2021. Those complaints weren’t only about delays, but its on-time record is far from stellar, as you can see by its position in this ranking. Worst-case scenario: Your flight is delayed for hours while you’re stuck in Newark—the U.S. airport with the worst record for delays.
#2. JetBlue Airways
- On-time flights: 75%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Ontario, CA: Ontario International
Maybe there’s a reason for the name. Too many JetBlue passengers sing the “Jet Blues” while waiting, sometimes for hours, at their boarding gates. The budget airline flies to more than 100 destinations throughout the Americas (as well as London). Its on-time record is hurt by flying mostly to major cities with high air-traffic volume, but so do most of the major airlines that have better on-time stats, which led the Wall Street Journal to declare JetBlue the worst airline in the U.S.
#1. Allegiant Air
- On-time flights: 73%
- Airport with the most delayed flights: Myrtle Beach, SC: Myrtle Beach International
If a baseball team wins 73% of its games, it’s World Series-worthy. But if an airline is only on time 73% of the time, it’s … well, it’s Allegiant, which has a well-deserved reputation for delays and other problems (including an abysmal safety record revealed in a “60 Minutes” segment). In its defense, it’s an ultra-low-cost airline, so you’re essentially paying for the strong possibility that your flight won’t leave on time. On the bright side, if you’re in Myrtle Beach, where delays are most common, you might have time to hit the sand for some extra tanning.

Under a Blue Sky runs from April 1-24, Wednesday to Sunday, at Phoenix Art Space, Brighton showcasing the work of Alan Payler, after he claimed first prize at Outside In’s National exhibition in 2019, alongside that of other artists who also attend the Community Art Project in Darlington.
Alan Payler’s work The Garden was selected from 90 exhibited works by a panel of judges including Grayson Perry and Cathie Pilkington.
Outside In’s National 2019 exhibition Environments attracted more than 900 submissions from across the globe.
Grayson Perry described The Garden as being “the work of art that most closely aligned with something I would be happy to make myself and gave me joy. Also, it was like something I had never seen before.”
This exhibition takes its name from another of Alan’s works, Blue Sky.
Director and founder of Outside In Marc Steene said: “Alan Payler is a remarkable artist whose work is worthy of serious scrutiny.
“The shimmering fields of colour he creates using a felt pen, the humblest of mediums, reveal a true creative intelligence.
“He is an artist of rare worth whose work lifts the spirits of all those fortunate enough to experience it and a much-needed tonic in the challenging times we have all been living through.”
Laurence Ward, who heads the community art project in Darlington, said the success resulted in the year finishing ‘on a real high note’ – but then the pandemic hit.
“We had to close in March 2020 and could not re-open until November albeit with only half our normal numbers. With so much uncertainty around future plans and opportunities, it was a massive boost to us to hear that Alan Payler’s Under a Blue Sky exhibition would be going ahead with a re-arranged date,” he explains.
Supporting the exhibition will be an engagement programme which will work to connect artists and audiences from the south to the north of England. This will also result in the charity exploring new ways, across digital and print, to extend its reach and overcome visitors’ barriers to arts engagement.
Outside In’s exhibition manager Charlotte Hanlon said: “Creating a strong connection between the show in Brighton and the studio in Darlington is an essential element of this exhibition.
“We plan to use technology to unite different people in different places allowing us to share the space and come together. This will include creating a virtual replica of the physical exhibition and hosting hybrid events which happen on and offline simultaneously. It is a really exciting and we are truly excited to share the work of this incredible studio.”
Marc added: “Outside In is a catalyst for change. The charity provides platforms for artists who face significant barriers to the art world due to health, disability, social circumstance or isolation.
“Through artist development, exhibitions and professional training it works to create a fairer art world by supporting artists, creating opportunities and influencing organisations.
“Founded in 2006 at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, it has gone on to become an independent charity gaining National Portfolio Organisation status with Arts Council England.”
