War lord Vladimir Putin is currently living in a massive underground city protected from potential nuclear attacks that can house up to 100,000 people, it has been claimed.
The academic who first alleged the Kremlin leader is seriously ill alleges the Russian president has retreated to a vast nuclear bunker as he lives in fear of his enemies.
Professor Valery Solovey, 61, also claims the dictator is unlikely to remain in politics beyond the end of this year due to poor health.
He also alleged in an online TV interview with a Latvian channel that Putin's supposed lover - Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva - is not in a Swiss bolthole as reported, but in a “secure location” in Russia.
Putin was seen today six time zones east of Moscow at the new Vostochny spaceport, alongside his ally, brutal Belarus dictator Alexander Lukashenko.
Putin's movements across Russia are now a tightly held secret, and while his arrival was announced early this morning in Blagoveshchensk, close to the Chinese border, his departure and routings were not disclosed.
A day earlier he was in Moscow for a frosty meeting with Austrian chancellor Karl Nehammer.
Solovey - who claims to have high-level Kremlin insider sources - has long alleged Putin suffers from cancer and other medical conditions, a theory for which he has provided no hard evidence.
But he was backed up earlier this month by an investigation from independent Project media that showed Putin is followed everywhere by a vast medical team, including oncology specialists. Some of the doctors were named.
Putin and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu often “vanish to bomb shelters east of the Urals, nuclear bomb shelters,” said Solovey.
“Putin spends most of his time there. There are several of them, with the key one where Putin stays - able to fit up to 100,000 people.”
The facility is intended to house Russian survivors in the event of Armageddon.
Separate claims have suggested a location close to a major Gazprom facility in the far north of Russia.
Solovey last month suggested Putin hid his family in a hi-tech bunker in the Altai Mountains, but it was not clear if his latest claim relates to the same place.
“The one where [General Valery Gerasimov and Shoigu] stays can fit up to 50,000 people. It’s up to one kilometre deep,” he said.
Gerasimov is chief of the armed forces general staff and rumours suggest he has gained in influence with Putin over the war, while Shoigu’s sway has waned.
On the alleged illnesses, Solovey has claimed Putin is suffering abdominal cancer and early stage Parkinson’s Disease, while Proekt suggested he has thyroid cancer.
He told interviewer Vadim Rodionov on Riga-based Russian language YouTube channel ‘I Gryanul Grem’: “Vladimir Putin’s real health issues started between 2019 and 2020, and these really were serious problems - by which I don’t mean issues with thyroid, for example, thyroid cancer.”
The presenter asked him: “Speaking more about these problems, how long does Vladimir have? Is it a fatal disease or a chronic disease, or…?”
Solovey, linked to General SVR channel, said: “He has several of them, there is the whole bouquet of them, and one fatal illness.
He reiterated his forecast that Putin would be forced to quit politics at some point this year.
“I didn’t say he’ll finish his earthly existence, these are different things,” he said.
“I said he won’t be in politics in [by the end of] 2022, and as far as I know nothing changed in this regard.”
Solovey claims Putin has a secret family with former gold-medal winning gymnast Alina Kabaeva. Rumours have variously placed her as hiding in a secluded Swiss chalet or in a Siberian bunker.
“I strongly doubt Alina Kabaeva was hiding in Switzerland,” said Solovey in the interview which has been seen more than one million times.
“According to my information she’s been in the Russian Federation, in an absolutely secure location. I have no doubt the Russian president will do everything possible and even impossible to secure his family.
“Should they need to be abroad, it definitely won’t be Switzerland.… Right now, they are safe in Russia, as far as I know…”
He said there was another friendly country - which he did not name - where Putin might send his family should they be deemed at risk in Russia.
In February, Solovey was held for a seven hour interrogation apparently linked to General SVR Telegram channel, which has published multiple allegations about Putin’s supposed medical and mental condition.
Solovoy was a professor at Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) - attended by future top diplomats and spies.

Brussels, Belgium | Xinhua | European Union foreign ministers did not decide on sanctions targeting Russia’s oil and gas, EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said on Monday.
Addressing the media following a meeting of the EU’s foreign ministers in Luxembourg, Borrell said that although no decision was taken, “nothing is off the table, including sanctions on oil and gas.” Last year, the bill for oil was four times that of gas “so it is important to start with oil.”
He noted that these sanctions would cause an “asymmetric shock” between EU countries since central and eastern European member states are “heavily dependent” on Russian energy imports.
“We continue discussing how to implement these sanctions to avoid any kind of loopholes. We measure the impact these sanctions are having on the Russian economy, and we will continue discussing in order to see what else can be done,” he said.
Borrell rejected Russian officials’ claims that the growing food shortage is due to sanctions on Russia. Instead, he accused Russia of “provoking hunger in the world.”
“Stop blaming the sanctions. It is the Russian military causing food scarcity,” he said, adding that there is a “big number of ships” carrying agricultural exports that cannot leave Ukrainian ports.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Prolonged rains and flooding in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province have claimed the lives of at least 20 people, according to local officials.
The country’s military has been deployed to Durban and the surrounding eThekwini metropolitan area on Tuesday to assist with rescue operations as residents flee flooded areas.
Some people have been swept away by surging waters.
Authorities are providing shelter for several hundred people whose homes and possessions were washed away by the floods and technicians are working to restore electricity to areas where power had been knocked out.
Emergency services have for several days been responding to urgent calls for help from people stuck in their houses but the number is beginning to decrease, emergency services spokesman Robert McKenzie told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
“There are still cases of collapsed buildings where operations are still continuing,” he said.
“Most of our power stations have been flooded and our teams are working hard to restore power to the affected areas," Moxilisi Kaunda, mayor of the eThekwini metropolitan municipality, told a press briefing Tuesday.
“Our teams are on the ground to try and return the situation to normalcy," he said. "We continue to assess the damages, we cannot be sure of the extent of the damages at the moment.”

In an effort to support patients and their families, Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Lafayette will offer a Ronald McDonald Family Room on the campus of the hospital beginning in September.
On Monday, in conjunction with MacLaff and Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Louisiana, a groundbreaking ceremony was held outside the hospital.
“We are thrilled about this,” said Lourdes Foundation Director Jeigh Stipe. “This is a huge accomplishment for us. We have been working on this project for probably close to 10 years in one way shape or form and for this to actually be happening is nothing short of a miracle.”
The family room, which will only be able to be accessed through the pediatrics unit, will include three bedrooms, a children’s play area, private bathrooms with showers, dining area, internet access, kitchen, laundry facilities and space for napping.
“Our vision is a world where all children have access to medical care, where their families are fully supported and actively involved in their children’s care,” MacLaff’s EJ Krampe said. “Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are welcoming, home-like space for families, just steps away from their children in the hospital.”
“This has been years and years in the making,” said Grace McIntosh, who is the executive director of the Ronald McDonald House Charities. “Really the driving force has been the Krampe family. We couldn’t be more excited about it. It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to literally be steps away from their children instead of having to worry about where they are going to stay sometimes for days, weeks, months at a time.”
The family room in Acadiana will only be the second room and/or house in the state, according to Stipe, but a house in the area is in the plans.
“We will be only the second in the state, with the first being a house in New Orleans,” Stipe said. “Only to be followed by a house soon in Acadiana within the next three to five years.”
“It’s a huge win, but it is only one step — the first step really,” McIntosh said. “The hope is to have an actual house here, right on the campus. We’ve already identified space and so that is really where we are hoping to take this project. Even though three rooms are wonderful, it’s better than what we have right now which is nothing. Having a house here is really our ultimate goal.”

'We can build something big': How these friends grow vegetables and community in Avondale
Just off the highway in the West Valley, cars pass through sleepy downtown Avondale. Historic buildings line the street, begging to be reused, but many remain empty.
One old white and yellow house is different. The Coldwater Coffeehouse & Bakery buzzes with activity.
On any given day, the co-op team starts early. Baker David Martinez prepares bread. Barista Angels Durazo makes coffee. Head cook Anthony Aragon assembles sandwiches and salads. Kalila Martinez de Aragon crafts pastries. And out back, farmer Jonathan Flores tends the vegetables growing in his garden.
"Most of our recipes start in a seed catalog, not in a recipe or a cookbook," chef and ringleader Aragon said. "I look at seed catalogs and see oh, this is the chard that's favored by chefs. So then I'll ask Johnny, hey can you grow that?"
Finding beneficial ways to help each other is something of a mission statement for Coldwater Coffee. Insects help grow the garden. The garden fuels the kitchen. And the community benefits from the space. As the business grows, so will the town of Avondale, at least that's the hope.
It began with reviving a historic building
The Coldwater opened in 2021, but it has been a work in progress since 2017. The team is experimenting with a cooperative business model—four out of the five are owners and Durazo is a member-in-training—and a supply chain where ingredients are grown in the garden, cooked in the kitchen and sold in the cafe. But it all began with a hometown mission.
Aragon's family has lived in Avondale for six generations, and they own property throughout the downtown district. His sister, Robin Velasquez, co-owns Laura's Burgers and More, an award-winning burger joint just down the street.
After living in California and studying painting in Italy, Aragon felt a draw that brought him back to his hometown, and back to a building that has been in his family for a long time.
"In fact, I went to daycare in this building," he said. "Then one of my aunts used to live here."
Later, during his teenage years, Aragon worked with a community youth organization that set up shop in the house.
"They helped me kind of find my way, and they operated out of this building," he said.
Over the years, many have passed through. But it wasn't maintained and the white paint started to peel. When Aragon settled on the idea of opening a cafe there, he knew the building would need some serious work.
"We decided to do a whole renovation. So, basically, everything that you can do to a house, besides build it, that's what we did," he said.
Friend and baker Martinez said they "tore it down to the studs and put new life into it."
Phoenix restaurant empire:How brotherly love and big risks fueled their success
A team of novices built a business around serving their community
Aragon met Martinez at a party for a mutual friend. Martinez had baked brownies. The duo went on to volunteer together in the community and at one point, became roommates. Aragon eventually convinced Martinez to turn his hobby into a profession and join him in The Coldwater project.
Over time, happenstance and friendships brought together the rest of the ownership team.
Many of the owners are from Avondale and care about revitalizing the community where they grew up. None of them were trained in their current vocations, but a passion for bettering the community and succeeding in business drove them to learn.
Previously, Martinez worked at State Farm. Durazo worked at a call center. Flores was a student who did a little welding on the side. Martinez de Aragon was a teacher and Aragon was an artist and painter.
"None of us were really experienced to do the things that we had to do," Aragon said. "So, Johnny is not a farmer. Now he is, but back then he was not. I'm cooking, but I never worked in the kitchen. I can make food taste good. But that's not the same as running the kitchen. So, we just relied heavily on just being like, what training do we need? Where should we get it?"
When figuring out how to farm, bake or run a business, the co-owners learned through asking friends and relatives, reading and watching YouTube videos.
Aragon admits that starting an unconventional business, equally owned by four people, with open bookkeeping and workers with no official training was a big risk.
"And I mean, it was very crunchy. It was a very rocky road," Aragon said. "We ran out of money several times."

Ready or not, this local farm stand and coffee shop opened
Eventually, when the dollars ran out for the final time, there was nothing left to do but open the doors. The kitchen wasn't up and running, the espresso machine had yet to be plugged in. But selling baked goods and fresh produce held them through.
Now, when new customers visit, barista Durazo sees their reactions firsthand.
"Customers are coming in and seeing that we have groceries and everything is homegrown and local," she said. "They're feeling like they finally have something like that here and that their town really needed something like this."
The Coldwater also has potential as an educational space, and the owners recently hosted workshops on gardening and nutrition. Flores also encourages volunteers on the farm to help people learn about the food chain. It's a slow-going, word-of-mouth operation, but over time the community is embracing the cafe.
"Out here, it's just like Wal-Mart and Food City where we don't really know where the food is coming from. A lot of people are in awe when they see this because it’s not until they look out the window and see that there’s a whole farm out there," Durazo said.
A crash course in reviving farmland
In 2017, while Flores was studying sociology at ASU, he joined the Coldwater team and broke ground on the garden.
"When we first got this, it was like a parking lot. And so we had to rent out this giant tractor and till up the ground a bit, " Flores said. "It’s changed a lot."
What intrigued Flores about The Coldwater project was the sociological aspect of running a cooperatively owned business designed to benefit the community, he said. Yet what really captured his passion was one of the most critical elements to the business—the regenerative farm.
Flores "geeks out" about improving the soil, he said, and scraps from the kitchen help him do just that.
"So after like 18, 20 days, I take the compost and I pretty much just apply it to the crops here," he said. "I don't use any tractors or any big machines. Really, everything I use are like hand tools."
A downtown revival:This bar in a historic house preserves Phoenix history
By late March, many of the lettuces and herbs in the garden have bolted or gone to flower, meaning their leaves will turn bitter and become unusable. But this is by design, Flores explained.
By letting the plants bolt, he's able to collect seeds for next year and also attract beneficial insects to the garden.
Walking through the rows of irrigated beds, Flores bends his tall frame to unclip a shade cloth covering rows of green and purple leaves.
“This is pretty much what you see in the store, what goes into our lettuce mixes and salads," he said.
Next to the larger plants are rows of new transplants, tiny leaves just starting to grow. A volunteer helped plant them earlier that day.
He stops to carefully examine dill flowers, looking for ladybug larva.
"These ladybugs, they eat like hundreds of aphids a day. And so the more that I'm able to attract them, and since I don't use any pesticides, this helps me," he said. "The more insects and stuff that I have in the garden, the more it helps."

What's on the menu at The Coldwater
Inside the old house, a refrigerated shelving unit displays lettuce, herbs and other greens available for sale. They accompany a host of baked goods and dry ingredients in the market section of the cafe.
Currently, Martinez bakes white sourdough, wheat loaf, rolls and sandwich bread. Martinez de Aragon makes pastries like banana bread and cornbread.
At the counter, customers can order fresh made limeade, jamaica and coffee drinks. The Coldwater also serves breakfast and lunch six days a week. The food menu includes French toast, sandwiches, salads and bollos, or stuffed breads.
"The most iconic one for us, that like really knocks home all the ideas that I was talking about are the herbs, egg and cheese," Aragon said. "The herbs are fresh from back there, the cheese is from Crow's Dairy."
Martinez makes the dough, and he's working on sourcing local eggs.
"Everything on the menu is made with this stuff," Aragon said. "We're trying to really be in-house, super local, with a lean on healthy."

The future of a farm and a metro Phoenix suburb
Each of the owners and employees at The Coldwater were drawn to the project for different reasons. Durazo had always wanted to get into coffee. Martinez loved to bake and wanted to help the community. Flores is intrigued by the social experiment of it all and driven by his love of the garden, which he skateboards to and from every day.
Aragon comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. He's proud of his hometown and wants it to grow.
He was inspired by Phoenix restaurant groups including LGO Hospitality and Fox Restaurant Concepts, and hopes to bring something like that to Avondale. He imagines The Coldwater as "the brain" of it all, where ideas flow.
But the initial idea for the project came from his faith.
"I'm a Baháʼí and in the Baháʼí faith there's a lot of talk about cooperation, like the importance of human beings learning how to cooperate together. And in that, there's a little bit of talk about how we could do that in business," he said.
In the readings, he learned about profit sharing, which became the model for the business plan for the co-op. His faith lead him to think long-term about the social implications a business like The Coldwater could have on his hometown.
"If we're successful, and if we can build a cooperative business and kind of a proof of concept where we can establish supply chains where you grow something, you make something out of it and you sell it in the food industry, then we can get a foothold," Aragon said. "And we can build something big."

How much energy does it take to have a good and healthy life? A new Stanford University study has found that the answer is far less than the average American is using.
Comparing energy use and quality of life across 140 countries, researchers found that the magic number is 75 gigajoules a year, or less. For context, one gigajoule of energy is equal to about eight gallons of gasoline.
Americans use 284 gigajoules a year per capita, nearly four times that much energy, according to the new research.
"That suggests to me that we could nudge energy use downwards in a bunch of hyper-consuming countries and not just make a more equitable world, but perhaps make ourselves healthier and happier," said lead author and professor of Earth system science, Rob Jackson.
The link between more energy and better quality of life is established. Globally, around 759 million people lived without electricity and 2.6 billion without clean cooking fuel in 2019, according to the World Bank. That comes at an enormous human cost. Around four million people die each year from conditions caused by indoor air pollution from cooking fires, according to the World Health Organization. Access to electricity is critical for providing medical services and powering modern economies.
But this study measured when those benefits plateau. Scientists looked at nine benchmarks for a long, healthy life, based on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals: access to electricity, air quality, food supply, Gini coefficient (which measures wealth inequality), happiness, infant mortality, life expectancy, prosperity, and sanitation. All but air quality peaked and began leveling off at or below 75 gigajoules a year.
Researchers also found that there is already enough energy used to get everyone on the planet over that threshold, if it were shared equally. Based on current global energy consumption, there are 79 gigajoules used for each person on the planet.
"It's not super hard to conclude that Americans are generally not as efficient with their energy use as they could be," said Sarah Ladislaw, managing director of the U.S. program at RMI, a non-partisan organization that's pushing the country to transition to cleaner energy faster. But the good news, she said, is that "there's enormous room for the U.S. to improve on this."
Transportation is a main driver of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
There is no mechanism to redistribute energy equally around the world, and global energy needs are rising.
Both Jackson and Ladislaw point to changes individuals and policymakers can make to lessen American consumption.
"The fastest and the quickest thing that you could do is do conservation and energy efficiency measures," said Ladislaw. That would help not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but would alleviate the energy security crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, she continued.
On the policy level, lawmakers can promote better energy efficiency standards for private businesses, incentivize retrofitting buildings to reduce their consumption, and build or adapt transportation infrastructure that helps people drive less, said Ladislaw.
On the individual level, changing home energy use behaviors could reduce residential energy demand in the U.S. by up to 20%, according to the International Energy Agency. Some examples include heating or cooling your house by zone, rather than setting it all to the same temperature, or using cold water to wash clothes and a clothesline to dry them.
Americans' greatest contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions comes from transportation, mostly from cars and trucks, according to the federal government. It's also one of the top two biggest drivers of energy use by sector, just after industrial use. Jackson pointed to the amount of air travel Americans do compared to other global citizens, as another place to cut back on energy consumption.
"It also means you're walking and biking more, using public transport and making less long trips," said Jackson.
Many approaches require a blend of the two, to incentivize people and businesses to make an up-front investment in equipment or technology that uses less energy over time, said Ladislaw. She is hopeful that the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which includes several provisions focused on reducing consumption, increasing efficiency, and expanding access to renewable energy sources, will do that.
But, Ladislaw cautioned, many of these moves can face resistance at the local level.
"We've got to stop saying, 'Hey, we don't really want a new bus rapid transit route,' or...'We don't want X, Y or Z piece of infrastructure in our area," she said, when it's "in our longer term interest to support that." Especially now that there is growing evidence that those measures, and using less energy generally, do not have a negative impact on Americans living a happy, healthy life.

The U.S. Department of Justice is facing the same frustration the people of Georgia and the media have faced for years, a state prison system veiled in secrecy.
The state Department of Corrections must come clean, be fully transparent and then be held accountable.
If the prison system will not comply with records requests, then the courts, the General Assembly and Gov. Brian Kemp must compel full compliance.
According to reporting by Georgia Public Broadcasting, published in this edition of The Valdosta Daily Times, the DOJ has been unable to get documents as part of its investigation into the troubled Georgia prison system. The justice department has requested documents related to prison policies, training materials, staffing and personnel discipline, documents relating to certain prisoners, incident reports and internal investigations materials.
The DOJ is saying the corrections system has only handed over a small fraction of what has been requested and that includes information investigators are seeking related to in-custody homicides.
If the DOJ cannot get the state's prison system to cough up records, imagine how hard it is for the people of Georgia to find out what is going on behind bars.
A prison sentence in Georgia should not be a death sentence.
Homicides, suicides and other suspicious unattended deaths have been cause for great concern for quite some time.
The DOJ investigation is focused on, among other things, violence among inmates and subsequent lack of inmate protection. Much of the prison violence has been linked to gang activity.
There are 45,551 inmates in Georgia — 73% of them for violent crimes. The DOC says 21% of the prison’s population have a mental health diagnosis. These are very real and very dangerous dynamics that must be addressed.
Death and injury, along with complaints about frightening and unsanitary conditions are far more serious than just prisoners complaining. The DOJ is taking it all seriously and so should state leaders. The Georgia General Assembly and the governor must be more willing to hold the corrections system accountable.
State leaders should send a strong message that reducing inmate deaths, acts of violence, addressing mental health needs and improving transparency are absolute musts for the embattled corrections system.
Respective prison administrations and the corrections system statewide are far less than forthcoming, stonewalling requests for information from the press and the general public, especially when inmates die behind bars.
The lack of transparency points to the egregious conditions and the credibility of complaints.
As we have said many times, people with nothing, or in this case prison systems with nothing to hide, just don’t hide.
It is time for Georgia prisons to come clean.

Selected questions and answers from the weekly Cardinals chat with Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold.
Question: Why are the Dodgers able to draft lower in the draft every year like the Cardinals yet maintain such a strong farm system that produces high quality talent? Is it just a matter of them having more money to spend on everything (scouting, development) than teams like the Cardinals or are they just better at what they do?
Answer: There is certainly some of that — more money, more ability to invest in staff and minor-league infrastructure and developing tech — but I'm not so quick to call it all just money. There are two leading elements, and one of them is definitely money: They can sign a lot of players. They can accumulate more talent by being able to run the waivers, pluck off any that they want, and move on by cutting checks to the players they don't want. They are waiver riders and not just at the major-league level. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt once remarked about the millions of dollars the Dodgers had stashed at Class AAA because they could – they could woo players with larger salaries to stockpile depth at that level. They are roster churn specialists and their their payroll allows them to be more aggressive than most. Also, they do sign a lot of international talent, and they aren't too far removed from spending, what, $250 million on Cuban free agents? It might have been more than that.
People are also reading…
But ...
There is much more to the Dodgers than the power of the purse.
Let's not ignore that the Dodgers are a development monster. They are able to identify and maximize and enhance players. Period. They are the model of development and deployment and that is what makes them a fully operational Death Star, perhaps unlike any organization baseball has seen. Imagine that. The budget of the Yankees. The development acumen that the Cardinals have built a reputation upon, tracing all the way back to Branch Rickey. The Dodgers are all of that combined to become the Voltron of baseball organizations.
That's what the Dodgers are, and that's why they are a clear and present threat to the Cardinals' brand as the king of the NL when it comes to World Series titles. The Dodgers aren't going anywhere. They're good and they know it, and the Cardinals must find a way to catch up while not having the financial resources of the entertainment capital of the world. The Cardinals are quite good at developing pitchers (look around at the pitching staffs pollinated with Cardinals-groomed pitchers) and they are excellent at developing contributors. For sure. They must show better success with developing impact players — that's the only way they'll keep pace.
Q: Have other teams taken notice to how well the Cardinals have drafted the past several years? It seems like the Cardinals emphasize age relative to competition high when selecting players.
A: To run their drafts, the Cubs hired a former Cardinals executive who oversaw some of the top recent STL drafts. Dan Kantrovitz now does the same for the Cubs, and where his picks excelled for the Cardinals was pitching, and where the Cubs have been unable to sustain a competitive model is because they haven't developed pitching. This past year, the Cubs drafted pitchers, lots of them. So, here they go. The Cardinals recent drafts have provided contributors. They have. The Cardinals need some of these bats to arrive with impact. Big things are expected of Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker, and the Cardinals’ recent drafts will be heavily judged based on those two players. Impact performance is the next step Cardinals need from their drafts, and then teams will take notice. Drafting is only the beginning. Developing, as mentioned with the Dodgers, is where a team can really separate itself these days.
Q: Thank you for your excellent coverage. The first two games were a decent testament that the relief corps is quite good. Is that why they are moving Jordan Hicks into the rotation?
A: That's a contributing factor, but not a leading factor. The driving part of this decision is the Cardinals' wish to get Hicks on a routine, on a set schedule. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol remarked Monday how the team has tried different proactive approaches for Hicks' health. They had him on a schedule where if he warmed up and did not pitch, he was still unavailable that next day. If he pitched two innings, he was out for the next two days. And if they planned to push him to three innings, he would be out for three days. At that point, they started to think about what it would be like if he was on a starter's five-day schedule, and whether that would be best for his arm, best for his performance, and the best use of his talent. That's how they got here, and then, yes, having a 28-man roster and the ability to put Andre Pallante in middle relief and Ryan Helsley at setup frees up Hicks for the starter spot. They are eager to see how his arm responds to the regular schedule, and that's the biggest reason for this move. Oh, and they can dream a little on the 102-mph sinker greeting a hitter in the first and fourth innings.
Additionally, they are making a big bet on the scheduling aspect of this. They think getting him on a schedule when he knows he's going to pitch and then he can spend the middle days on maintenance and recovery that it will work out better for him and healthier for his arm and still productive for the Cardinals. It's going to be a tricky thing to balance. And I asked Marmol about whether they need him to go about 40 pitches, 60 pitches, or 80 pitches by the end of the month when the roster shrinks to 13 pitches, and he said the goal then has to be four innings from Hicks, at least.
Q: As of today, how do you handicap the odds of Nolan Arenado opting out after 2022?
A: On what scale? Let’s go 1-10. A 10 is he bolts the second he can, right after the final out of the 2022 season, doesn’t even both pack his stuff because who needs it. And a 1 is he puts a down payment on an apartment in the St. Louis area to live when he retires, makes toasted ravioli in his free time, and takes a class at a local high school just so he can answer the region’s favorite question. So, the odds are about a 3. It's a) way too early in the season to fret for six months about the opt out when b) he has been very candid about wanting to finish his career with the Cardinals. Despite what fans or social media want to project on him, he loves playing for the Cardinals, he loves how much Cardinals fans and the city love baseball. “I can’t believe he wasn’t here before,” Adam Wainwright has said. “He was born to be a Cardinal,” a friend has told me. Not sure how many ways he has to say or how many of his friends have to broadcast it. Many of his closest friends in baseball speak highly of the Cardinals. He’s been close with bench coach Skip Schumaker since he was 15. Lars Nootbaar and Dylan Carlson both spent time this winter working out with Arenado at the batting cage he maintains. Heck, there are some peers who think that Arenado, when he’s done playing, will want to stick around the game as a coach in a role like the one Jose Oquendo has. If he opts out this season has gone awry and there will be far bigger concerns for the Cardinals at that point.
Q: I had a question based on your "they want Matthew Liberatore to come to the majors and change the perception of the Randy Arozarena deal" quote. It seems like the Cardinals under John Mozeliak get very gun-shy and almost insecure following moves that don't work out. Why? I want Mo to forget the Randy trade and the pieces associated. Treat Liberatore like a normal prospect, not some guy you NEED to have succeed to save your ego so you protect him with all your might. If you can get him for an asset that helps you, then who cares about the Arozarena trade. Stop worrying about perception.
A: They are, by definition and by their own admission, a conservative group when it comes to making moves. John Mozeliak, president of baseball operations, calls it "data-driven." He once gave the example of the Pedro Feliz deal that they felt they made in duress and didn't want to repeat. That's their style, that's their business model, and they believe it has helped them more than it has hurt them, helped them greatly. And the Cardinals point to the run of winning seasons and playoff berths as proof. That's fine. We have a stockpile of examples — both superb and subpar — to point to when it comes to how that conservative approach plays out. It means they don't make the play for Max Scherzer, but it does mean they make a trade for Arenado or Paul Goldschmidt and then, in Goldschmidt's case, set the market in order to keep him. It does mean they don't trade Tyler O'Neill or Harrison Bader for Zack Wheeler at the trade deadline, and it also does mean they don't trade O'Neill or Bader for a few months of Wheeler at the deadline. It means they're gobsmacked by the cost of trading for Adam Eaton and a reluctance to give up Jack Flaherty when they can commit that extra year to Dexter Fowler and bring in the leadoff hitter/center fielder they want while also subtracting that player from their rival's lineup.
By now we know what kind of moves they prefer to make and the moves they'll stop shy of making, and yes the loss of Arozarena and success of Arozarena informed decisions made later and still made today. We'll see if they pay off. It's possible to say that O'Neill certainly has, and that's an example of a commitment to playing young players the Cardinals made as a fallout from missing on Arozarena.
Q: What do you make of the dynamic between bench coach Skip Schumaker and manager Oli Marmol? I know it’s strange circumstances for the head coach to be out sick for only his second and third career games, but do the Cardinals envision this managerial setup to be 1a and 1b in function? Don’t recall a prominent bench coach for the cardinals for as long as I’ve been watching
A: Strong. They have a strong relationship. They get along well. This is not a 1A and 1B relationship. Marmol is the manager. The buck stops there. Schumaker made it clear to anyone who would listen that he's the bench coach, and that's his role and he was not moving in on the manager's role here just because Marmol was ill. It's interesting that you note the Cardinals have not had a "prominent" bench coach. I guess by name recognition that's true, but consider the Cardinals' past three bench coaches:
- David Bell
- Mike Shildt
- Oliver Marmol
Two of the three are managers in the majors right now, and Shildt received votes in four different seasons for NL Manager of the Year. Shildt’s current team, the Padres, has lauded what he’s brought to them, and Bob Melvin, San Diego’s manager, said Shildt won’t be with them long, predicting he’ll be back with a team as manager by 2023. Schumaker will be the next Cardinals bench coach to move on to be a manager. The questions are when and where, and that's it.
Q: Have you heard anything on what the pitch limits will be for Jordan Hicks out of the box and hopefully once he settles in how much further expansion will be hopefully given him?
A: Yes, they're looking at between 40-45 pitches from Hicks in relief Tuesday, at most, if needed. They are going to grow his pitch count from there but do so at a lower rate than usual for a spring training program. Usually, starters will go from 40-45 to 60-65 and then 80-85 so that they are set for 100 in that next start. That won't be the schedule for Hicks. He'll go from 40-45 to maybe that 50-55 range and the goal will be to get him toward that 80-85. They want him to be around four innings by May 1 when rosters shrink. And see where it goes from there.
Q: After the home opener, your Twitter had a sweet story about your memories of the home opener at Mile High, 1993, juxtaposed next to a short statement about the Cardinals’ home opener: “‘Tis one win, and nothing more”. The comparison was almost jarring. My question, is it the difference between being a reporter, where you cannot show emotion or root for the home team, and a recollection from when you were a fan? If so, I think there were many kids there with their parents forming important memories ... or am I reading in too much? No offense intended in any case!
A: I understand what you're saying, and while I do think you're reading too much into it, please allow me to put some context to both of these statements. In 1993, at Mile High Stadium, there was a home game for the local Major League Baseball team for the first time in history. It was the first home game by a team that called that Time Zone home -- ever. That’s right, the entire Mountain Time Zone had never had a Major League Baseball team call it home. The closest big-league team when I was growing up was the Kansas City Royals. A first for the region! That's some history right there. That's going to make that one game stand out because it happened. Period. The fact I got to see a Major League Baseball game 28 minutes from my house in a Mountain Time Zone that did not have an MLB team, along a front range that adored baseball — well, that's not an everyday event or even an every-year event. The result of the game doesn't matter as much as the meaning of the event.
So, one tweet was about a historic event, the first of its kind, that I got to see.
I kind of remember the Rockies won, but I'd have to look up the score.
Please keep in mind the aspect that for an entire state and Time Zone that game was the first of its type and imagine what that would be like for Cardinals fans to attend the first home opener of the Cardinals. There were fans at Mile High who had craved MLB baseball for all of their life — 50, 60, 70 years — and now were seeing it at home.
And that brings me to the second part.
The result of the game is just one game, not the memories from attending an opening day. This isn't some reporter/fan distinction. This is a distinction I'm sure fans feel, too. They know that the result of the game is just one game and that 1-0 counts the same as any game in August or September or May or the third week of April. The event is different. The event is the opener and it may be the only opener a fan sees, or it may be the first opener a young fan sees, and that makes it special. The event is special.
Finally, the phrase “‘Tis one win and nothing more” was just a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Raven.
That whole gamer had multiple allusions to The Raven, and the line you're quoting that I shared on Twitter was one of them. Not sure if I pulled it off, but that was the goal — to write the gamer and, as you say, juxtapose Poe’s The Raven with the story of a Cardinal pecking at Marmol's window to wake him up Thursday morning.
Q: When's Angel Rondon going to finally get an earnest chance at a big-league job? All the hoopla seems to focus on other guys (Andre Pallante being the latest one to leapfrog), but Rondon seems like he's ready for a shot based on his minor league performance...
A: Great question because we saw so little of the right-hander in spring training. He did not get much of a chance there to build on being the team's pitcher of the year not too long ago. He's going to have to pitch his way out of that spot on the depth chart by performing (again) at Class AAA Memphis. And he can do it. He doesn't have the zip/zap/wow of some of the higher-velocity pitchers coming toward the majors, but he does get results and he throws strikes and he challenges hitters, and while he could be more efficient, the traits he does have consistently will be harder to ignore if innings are not covered.
Q: My question, sir, regards Adam Wainwright. I just checked his Baseball-Reference page, and he's 80-95% of the way to Hall of Fame, per the classic four Bill James yardsticks. However he's much farther away, per straight Wins Above Replacement. No chance to get there unless he switches to knuckleballing and pitches 'til he's 45. So, the question: With the HOF voters skewing younger every year, isn't Adam doomed by his WAR shortage?
A: No, not necessarily. I understand what you're saying. I don't think that will be the case. The voting body is skewing younger because more and more baseball writers are getting the beat younger, and it’s more competitive ever to keep the beat, really. We’re seeing trends such as wins not being much of a measure for the Cy Young Award and Scott Rolen riding a wave toward Cooperstown induction in the next two years. I do think the voters are going to be more open than ever to trying to understand the scope of a career beyond the baseball card numbers that have for a long time defined Cooperstown candidacy. I don't know any voters who are one-stat voters. One-issue voters? Yes, there are a few and they tend to vote on the PED issue, full stop. But they are rare. One-stat voters? Nope. They don't rely only on WAR, and to suggest they do is to diminish the effort so so so so many voters put into their ballots. Wainwright is going to have a compelling case for Cooperstown. It could be like Mark Buehrle's honestly. And we'll see how the voters start to look into that. If anything, the years missed or shortened or eroded by injury are going to be what catch the voters eye and shape their ballots, more than the WAR, which they'll explore in detail beyond the single stat.
Wainwright’s WAR currently stands at 40.3. That ranks 24th among pitchers since 2000, right behind David Price (40.4) and Hall of Famers Mike Mussina (40.8) and Marino Rivera (41.1). A contemporary nearby is Jacob deGrom (40.8), and the Mets’ ace as the Cy Young Award to brighten his bid. Buehrle, for comparison’s sake, is at 60.0 WAR, and that ranks seventh since 2000, right behind a pitcher who is viewed as Cooperstown-bound CC Sabathia. In fact, the six pitchers ahead of Buehrle are all likely to be inducted to the Hall of Fame (Max Scherzer, anyone?) or already are (the late Roy Halladay).
A strong year and Wainwright could leap into the top 20, where he’ll be snug against a good litmus test for Wainwright’s chances: former teammate Jon Lester, who has 200 wins and championships and a 44.4 WAR. How he does will reveal where voters could lean for Wainwright.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Heavy rains caused by a summer tropical depression killed at least 25 people in the central and southern Philippines, mostly due to landslides, officials said Monday.
Twenty-two villagers died in landslides in four villages in Baybay city in central Leyte province on Sunday and Monday, city police chief Lt. Col. Joemen Collado said. At least six other people were reported missing in the landslides and a search was underway, he said.
Three other storm-related deaths were reported by the government’s main disaster-response agency in the southern provinces of Davao de Oro and Davao Oriental.
“In one village, a landslide occurred and other victims, unfortunately, were also swept away by the surge of water,” Collado told the DZBB radio network. “There were at least six missing but there could be more.”
Nearly 200 floods were reported in different areas in central and southern provinces over the weekend, displacing about 30,000 families, some of which were moved to emergency shelters, officials said.
Coast guard, police and firefighters rescued some villagers in flooded communities, including some who were trapped on their roofs. In central Cebu city, schools and work were suspended Monday and Mayor Michael Rama declared a state of calamity to allow the rapid release of emergency funds.
At least 20 storms and typhoons batter the Philippines each year, mostly during the rainy season that begins around June. Some storms have hit even during the scorching summer months in recent years.
The disaster-prone Southeast Asian nation also lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” where many of the world’s volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A jury in Virginia is scheduled to hear opening statements Tuesday in a defamation lawsuit filed by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Depp says Heard libeled him when she wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post in 2018 referring to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
Depp is never mentioned by name, but he says the article implicates him nonetheless because it refers to past accusations Heard made when she sought a restraining order against him. Depp denies the abuse allegations.
A civil jury of seven members, plus four alternates, was selected Monday to hear the case in Fairfax County Circuit Court. Heard's lawyers had sought to have the case tried in California, where the actors reside. But a judge ruled that Depp was within his rights to bring the case in Virginia because The Washington Post's computer servers for its online edition are located in the county.
The trial is expected to last for more than a month. A lengthy witness list includes actors Paul Bettany and James Franco, and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. Some witnesses are slated to appear in person, while others are scheduled to appear via video link.

Championship News
3 times Reading FC got ripped off in the transfer market
Reading have suffered a six point deduction this season due to financial mismanagement, making their 2021/22 campaign far more nervy than it needed to be.
The Royals only have seven senior players with contracts running beyond the end of the season and 2022/23 is looking very challenging on the horizon, even with Paul Ince guiding the club to safety, as is expected to be the case this season.
Reading have recruited from a wide variety of destinations in the transfer market in recent years, with many struggling to pay dividends on the pitch.
Here, we have taken a look at three times Reading got ripped off in the transfer market…
Sone Aluko
An honest professional, who arrived for an astronomical transfer fee was Sone Aluko.
28 at the time, the Royals paid £6.75 million, as per Transfermarkt, to sign him from Fulham, and he eventually left the Select Car Leasing Stadium on a free transfer to Ipswich Town last August.
In his four year spell at the club, Aluko spent half a season on loan in China and scored just five goals in 102 outings for the club.
Given the hefty fee paid, Aluko did not have the desired impact to justify that sort of financial outlay.
Marc McNulty
Marc McNulty is currently enduring his fifth loan spell away from Reading, with Dundee United, with his contract expiring in the summer.
The Scotsman signed from Coventry City in the summer of 2018 for £1.22 million, according to Transfermarkt, but has not made the grade in Berkshire and will be expected depart at the end of his current deal.
In nearly four years at the club McNulty has made just 17 appearances, and the club will turn a significant loss unable to sell him on for a fee this summer.
Quiz: Did Reading FC sign these 26 players for a fee or a free?
George Puscas
There is still time for this one to change its trajectory.
But, George Puscas’ move from Inter Milan to Reading has not paid off considering the £6.75 million shelled out on his services in the summer of 2019, as per Transfermarkt.
With two years remaining on his contract there is time to turn things around, however, currently on loan at Pisa of Serie B, it seems unlikely that Puscas’ future lies at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
20 goals in 91 Royals appearances is not horrendous, but the chances are that a permanent exit will be negotiated for him in the summer, and the fee recouped will not come close to what they paid for him.

Snitch cam! New app can turn a smartphone into a speed camera to calculate if drivers are over the limit - but they WON'T get speeding tickets
- Speedcam Anywhere app is available to download on Google Play Store
- It allows users to record passing motorists to calculate if they are speeding
- Tech reads number plates then uses this to identify the car using the DVLA's database to tell it the distance between its front and rear axle
- The app uses AI to review the footage and estimate speed based how quickly the front and rear wheels pass objects
- It has not been approved for speed detection so cannot enforce offences
- Developers have complained about abusive emails since launching app in March
A new app that claims to be able to turn a smartphone into a speed camera has raised eyebrows since launching last month - and has seen its developers receive a string of abusive emails from disgruntled drivers.
The application, which is called Speedcam Anywhere and is currently available on the Google Play store, can be used to record a passing motorist and professes to be able to estimate their speed to calculate if they're over the limit or not.
While the footage can be saved and a report generated to share with authorities, it cannot be used to enforce speeding offences, having not received approval from the Home Office for use as a certified speed detection device.
Snitch cam! A new smartphone app claims to turn a smartphone into a speed camera to calculate if drivers are speeding - but the tech can't be used to prosecute motorists
Launched in March, the app's developers told The Guardian that they have already been forced into anonymity after receiving a flood of vicious communications from the public.
Yet they continue to back the use of the technology that encourages people to report on one another.
'We're getting quite abusive emails,' the app's founder told The Guardian under the premise that his name would not be shared.
He adds that he does not have a 'personal vendetta against anyone' and claims the app is there to make roads safer by becoming a 'deterrent to speeding' and to encourage the police to take speeding more seriously.
A scan of the 177 reviews the app has received so far on the Google Play Store give an indication of the tone of emails its developers claim to have received from motorists lambasting their Big Brother-style tech.
Valkyria 9001 commented: 'Another brilliant idea to help the government turn the public against one another while they sit there with the self entitled rich to destroy the country.'
Alasdair McGregor posted a review calling the app 'Stasi-cam Anywhere' in reference to repressive East German secret police unit that operated from the 1950s.
'Just what the world needed. Use it for settling vendettas or getting back at that neighbour who always takes your parking space,' he said.
In their review, Carlos de almeida said: 'Absolutely ridiculous this snitch culture we are experiencing nowadays.
'The creator(s) of this app should be caught speeding using their own apps and be reported to police for it... What a joke!!!'
The app, which is said to have been developed by a team of artificial intelligence (AI) scientists who have graduated from top UK universities and previously worked for Silicon Valley tech companies, has software that can read a passing car’s number plate.
This is then cross referenced with the DVLA's database to identify the make and model of the car.
Once this has been determined the app will know the length between the specific vehicle's front and rear axles.
This information is then relayed to the footage captured to calculate at what speed the driver is travelling and whether they are over the limit in that area, which can be located using GPS data.
The Speedcam Anywhere app details how the technology measures the speed of a passing car and the report it generates that can be shared with authorities. It is free to download but users need to buy credits to access it
While the footage can be saved and a report generated to share with authorities, it cannot be used to enforce speeding offences, having not received approval from the Home Office for use as a certified speed detection device
Yet, the app cannot result in drivers receiving speeding tickets as the technology isn't signed off as a speed detection device and therefore cannot provide sufficient evidence for police to prosecute motorists.
However, boffins behind the tech say the footage can still be provided to the police and used as evidence for other offence types.
Many forces are signed up to a nationwide portal created in 2018 by dashcam brand Nextbase - this allows drivers and cyclists to upload their clips of careless and dangerous driving to a police database for review.
In its first three years, some 68,000 videos were uploaded to the portal.
Latest records show that around four in five cases result in some form of police action, which ranges from warning letters to fixed penalty notices and even court cases.
Developers behind the tech say the footage can still be issued to the police and used as evidence for other offence types, such as dangerous driving
While the app is free to download, users have to buy credits if they want to process the video footage captured.
Speedcam Anywhere's website say this charge is 'a small fee' to cover the cost of running the AI system.
Buying 1,000 credits costs £14.99, which can capture up to 1,000 clips in 'Basic Mode' or 100 videos in 'Pro Mode', which gives a more accurate estimation of speed.
When the app was first launched in March, Google had initially refused to make it available in the Play Store having questioned the validity of the tech's capabilities to use AI to estimate speed.
However, it is now available for download after the developers provided a demonstration of how the app works.
An iOS version has also been created, though Apple has so far refused its distribution without explanation.
'We’re not sure why they would block a useful piece of technology, something that could save people’s lives,' the app's founder told The Guardian.
Martin B, who posted a review of the app, described the concept as 'awful'.
'This is wrong on so many levels and should be illegal... Live and let live.
'It has a potential to create additional distraction to drivers by wannabe cops.
'There is no need for apps like this and enforcement should be left to the police so they can do it where it's necessary.'
James Tagimuri posted: 'What a load of s***e, so we have to pay for credits to grass speeders to the police. We already pay the police to catch speeders.'
Jamie Leng also commented: 'In East Germany, citizens were encouraged to report their neighbours to the Stasi for even the smallest societal infraction.
'Congratulations on creating a modern day version of that. If you couldn't tell, I'm being sarcastic. This app disgusts me.'

The fuel shortage crisis in Kenya has taken a new twist after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced measures to be taken against oil marketers behind the scarcity of the commodity.
EPRA punishes firms behind acute fuel shortage
EPRA accused oil marketers of exporting more fuel leaving little for the local market.
In a statement by EPRA CEO Daniel Kiptoo, and copied to Energy CS Monica Juma, the authority said that the shortage has been worsened after some oil marketers exported more than the stipulated amount of fuel.
Kiptoo explained that the authority had gone through data spanning 4 weeks and established that some of the oil marketers were in violation of the law.
“The EPRA has analyzed the daily petroleum loadings over the past 4 weeks and noted that a number of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have in the period under review given priority to export loadings while the local market was left to suffer intermittent supply,” read an excerpt of the statement.
As a result, the authority has sanctioned the affected oil marketers by introducing a raft of measures that will be implemented in the next three months.
EPRA resolved to slash the capacity of the OMCs which increased their transit volumes over and above their normal quota during the supply crisis period.
The slashed capacity will be given to oil marketers who increased their local volumes without giving priority to their export volumes.
To alleviate the current fuel shortage, the government ordered all OMCs to release petroleum supplies last week.
Oil merchants blamed the shortages on a lack of understanding about the fuel subsidy that the government implemented last April to keep prices stable amid fears of stockpiling.
Delays in the payment of the subsidy to firms have driven up prices in the wholesale sector, where oil majors resell fuel to smaller independent fuel retailers, who control 40% of the market.
“There is growing hesitancy to take out all your stocks to the market due to the subsidy. What if the government decides to retain prices yet the stocks you are selling were shipped in at higher costs? We are talking of monumental losses,” said a CEO of a top oil marketer who sought anonymity told Business Daily.
“The wholesale market is also dry because the independents are not buying the costly fuel and their stake is huge. The shortages will not go away if the government fails to address the root cause of the problem,” he added.

Multiple shot, unexploded devices found at NYC train station
NEW YORK (AP) — Multiple people were shot Tuesday morning at a subway station in Brooklyn, New York, the city fire department said.
Fire personnel responding to reports of smoke at the 36th Street station in the Sunset Park neighborhood found multiple people shot and undetonated devices, a New York City Fire Department spokesperson said.
According to a law enforcement source briefed on the investigation, preliminary information indicated a suspect was dressed in construction attire.
A photo from the scene showed people tending to bloodied passengers lying on the floor of the station.
Further details were not immediately available. New York City police said they were responding to reports of people wounded either by gunfire or an explosion.
Trains servicing that station were delayed during the morning rush hour.

A fishing record that stood for 25 years in Mississippi has been bested, and the monstrous blue catfish was an astounding 36 pounds bigger than any previously caught in the state.
It weighed 131 pounds, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.
Eugene Cronley of Brandon, Mississippi, is the man who set the new record with an old fashioned rod and reel.
He caught it April 7 in the Mississippi River near Natchez, officials said. A photo shared on Facebook shows the fish was almost as wide as his pickup truck.
Cronley called it “truly a fish of a lifetime” and confessed it took 40 minutes to reel in the powerful catch.
His bait was “skipjack herring,” the state said.
“The fish shattered the previous rod and reel record of 95 lbs. caught by Dakota Hinson in 2009 and is larger than the trophy record blue catfish of 101 lbs. caught by the team of Freddie Parker and Brad Smith in 1997,” the wildlife department noted.
“Interestingly, both of those fish were also caught from the Mississippi River near Natchez.”
Blue catfish can live up to 25 years, which means the record fish may have been born the same year the previous record was set.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries reports the biggest known blue catfish was 143 pounds, “caught in an inland lake on the Virginia–North Carolina border.”

A Fairfield County man with a previous arrest on his record is facing new charges after attempting to flee from police with a loaded handgun before being apprehended in a barbershop bathroom in Westchester, officials announced.
A report was made from a Mount Vernon barbershop on the 100 block of 4th Avenue at approximately 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 9, where there was a report of a man with a handgun inside.
Police said that upon arrival, officers located their suspect - later identified as Bridgeport resident Ricardo Hanchard, age 33 - who matched the description provided.
When Hanchard was approached by officers, police said that he proceeded to flee from the barbershop onto the street, prompting a foot chase, during which Hanchard allegedly attempted to grab an object from his waistband.
According to investigators, Hanchard proceeded to run into a different barbershop and made his way to the back of the building with officers still hot on his heels in pursuit.
Hanchard was ultimately located hiding in a bathroom in the back of the barbershop.
Police said that when officers attempted to apprehend him, Hanchard struggled before they were able to handcuff him.
Officials said that a loaded handgun was located inside the bathroom and Hanchard was also wearing a holster that was compatible with the recovered weapon at the time of his arrest.
Hanchard, who has a prior arrest in New York for robbery, was held in Mount Vernon Jail and scheduled to be arraigned on a second-degree criminal possession of a weapon charge on Monday, April 11 in Mount Vernon City Court.

Editor:
The price of the Aspen-Snowmass Premier Pass has increased steadily during the past several years – no surprise here. However, some of the most worthwhile perks have decreased. A few years ago, we received four vouchers for 50% off ski/snowboard rentals. Now we only receive two. Spring and summer of last year we received six vouchers for 50% off a one-day lift ticket. This year we’ll receive only four. What’s coming next? These perks would let us take our out-of-state visitors to the Aspen-Snowmass ski areas and enjoy considerable savings. Now we might have to take them to Sunlight Mountain Resort instead.

(TheNewswire)
Alianza Minerals Ltd. ("Alianza") (TSXV:ANZ ) ( OTC:TARSF) led by Jason Weber, Rob Duncan and Mark Brown, has had a busy Q1 with several milestones achieved
Property Transactions:
Completed the option agreement on the Klondike Copper Project in Colorado. Alianza and its copper alliance partner, LSE listed Cloudbreak Discovery, have received the initial payments in cash and shares from Allied Copper who can acquire 100% of the project and issue a 2% NSR Royalty to the copper alliance.
Announced a new three year option agreement on the Stateline Copper Project in Colorado under the copper alliance with Cloudbreak. The agreement allows Allied Copper to acquire 100% of the project for payments in cash, shares and potentially an 2% NSR Royalty.
Exploration:
Filed a 43-101 compliant Technical Report on the Haldane Silver Property in Yukon, Canada. This is the first time such a comprehensive geological report has been completed and it will allow serious analysts and investors to study the project work completed to date at Haldane in one report.
Selected targets and planned the drill program for the Haldane Silver Property for summer 2022. The project will continue to be managed and coordinated by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. ("Equity") of Vancouver BC. Equity has been on the ground at Haldane since 2007 and their knowledge of the project and their understanding of its geology is a great benefit to Alianza.
Met with Optionee, partner Coeur Mining Inc. ("Coeur"), regarding planning for the 2022 drill program at Alianza's Tim Silver Project. Permitting is underway and on track for a summer 2022 program. The Tim Project is 19 kilometers from Coeur's Silver Tip Mine in northern BC.
Planning and permitting for drilling at both the SW US Alliance copper projects in Colorado, Klondike and Stateline, is underway. Drillhole locations have been selected for both projects and are being fine-tuned. A budget of $1 million for Klondike and $500,000 for Stateline has been approved by Allied for the 2022 programs.
An airborne (UAV) magnetics survey was recently completed at Klondike. Satellite hyperspectral (WorldView III) data acquisition has been commissioned for both Klondike and Stateline to help guide further exploration and target drilling.
Ongoing project review of new projects for potential acquisition and marketing projects in the Company's portfolio to potential partners.
Corporate:
Annual Financial Reports (Jan. 26, 2022) and Annual Information Form (Feb. 9, 2022) ("AIF") filed. This is important because the AIF in particular gives the Company access to more options for financings than it has ever had.
Annual General Meeting was held on March 17, 2022 and the most significant part of the meeting was to add Mr. Sven Gollan to the Board of Directors. Mr. Gollan and a company that he represents together own 10.37% of Alianza and is now the largest shareholder of Alianza followed by Mr. Mark Brown and his company Pacific Opportunity Capital Ltd. (8.89%).
Coordinated an ongoing review and update of environmental, social and governance issues, including additional disclosure about the activities of Alianza in these areas. Alianza has always followed all regulations and best practices in working with communities, governance and environmental protection and remediation.
Received approximately $160,000 in cash property option payments and $200,000 in shares from optionees.
Jason Weber noted that "It has been a busy quarter and that continues into Q2 with additional planning, marketing, and project execution to add value for shareholders in new ways. With potentially 4 drill programs this summer, we expect to have a very steady news flow and hopefully some exciting drill results for our shareholders later this summer."
About Alianza Minerals Ltd.
Alianza employs a hybrid business model of joint venture funding and self-funded projects to maximize opportunity for exploration success. The Company currently has gold, silver and base metal projects in Yukon Territory, British Columbia, Colorado, Nevada and Peru.

Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid Named Eastern Conference Player of the Week
PHILADELPHIA – APRIL 11, 2022 – The NBA announced today that Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers was named Eastern Conference Player of the week for games played between Monday, April 4 and Sunday, April 10. In his sixth NBA season, it’s Embiid’s seventh career Player of the Week selection and his second of the 2021-22 season. Embiid joins Hall of Famer Allen Iverson (20) as the only players ever to earn the award at least seven times as 76ers since the award’s inception in 1979-80.
After helping Philadelphia clinch its fifth consecutive playoff berth, Embiid led the 76ers to a 2-1 record in games which he appeared. This last stretch of games led to Embiid capturing the league scoring title at 30.6 points per game, making him the third 76er win to the scoring crown, joining Iverson and fellow Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain. Embiid became the first center since Moses Malone in 1981-82 to average at least 30 points per game.
Over the week Embiid continued his streak of strong performances, extending his streak of 25-point, 10-rebound outings to 10 straight contests, which was the longest such streak of the season. No other player did so in more than seven straight games.
The week saw Embiid post averages of 38.7 points, 14.3 rebounds along with 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game while also shooting .609 from the floor. Embiid was the only player in the league to post such numbers over the week.
Last Tuesday, against the Pacers, Embiid notched his second 45-point double-double of the season with 45 points and 13 rebounds, which made him one of three players with multiple such games. For his career, Embiid has six games of at least 45 points and 10 rebounds which are the second-most in franchise history.
In the second game of the week, Embiid posted his league-best 30th game of the year of at least 30 points and 10 boards against the Raptors.
In Embiid’s final game of the week, he finished with 41 points (14-17 FG) and 20 rebounds against the Pacers. This made him the fifth player in NBA history to score at least 40 points and collect 20-plus rebounds while shooting 80-percent-or-better from the floor. He joined John Drew and Hall of Famers Charles Barkley, Wilt Chamberlain and Bob Pettit as the only players to do so.
For the season, Embiid posted averages of 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per contest, becoming the first player to average 30-11-4 for a season since Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo in 1975-76. Just four other players have ever compiled such averages: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson.
The Cameroon native is the first center to lead the NBA in scoring since Shaquille O’Neal did so in 1999-2000.
Luka Doncic was named Western Conference Player of the Week for games played between Monday, April 4 and Sunday, April 10.

Do you know where your food is grown?
Wayne County, the heart of Ohio, home of Ohio’s Foremost Agricultural Fair, home to Ohio State ATI (the nation’s top agricultural technical school) and OARDC, where some of the nation’s top experts, researchers and research programs are located.
Wayne County also is world headquarters for the J.M. Smucker Co. and a desired location for other major food companies such as Daisy, Smith’s and Frito Lay.
A quick jaunt around the county exposes the endless small and mid-size businesses that benefit from the agricultural hotbed that exists in Wayne and surrounding counties. It would be difficult to imagine all these economic opportunities without the diversity of farms we have in and around Wayne County. Our local economy benefits greatly in so many ways from the extensive agricultural sector that exists in our area.
Winter matters:Why winter matters. It's all about the benefits of chill hours for plants, soil, fruits
The answer to 'what is local?' leads to opportunity
One of the hottest market trends in recent years, especially given supply chain issues related to the pandemic, is buying local. Of course, the question of all questions related to this trend is “what is local?” This question, which becomes increasingly difficult to answer the further you begin to investigate, actually leads to some great opportunities for increasing consumer awareness.
Does “local” mean within your state? Or does it mean neighboring states? As a consumer, you are in the wonderful position to develop your own definition of what you want local to mean to you, although it may take some more time researching what the “local” tagline on the label actually means to the company producing the product.
We may take for granted the opportunity to buy local food grown in our own county, but take a second to realize how unique our area is, not only in Ohio but also nationally. It is not difficult whatsoever to have everything part of your dinner plate, or every meal of the day be comprised of solely, or the majority of products grown and produced in Wayne County.
Wayne County stands out with diverse farming
The diversity of agricultural production in Wayne County stands out, and when we get down to the data, it becomes very clear just how diverse our farms are. Wayne County has the largest local food economy in the state of Ohio, and third in agricultural production with more than $300 million in total agricultural sales in 2017.
In addition, the county also ranked in the top 10 for the following commodity groups; poultry and eggs; fruits, tree nuts, and berries; cattle and calves; milk from cows; sheep, goats, wool, mohair and milk; cut Christmas trees; and other crops and hay.
It is important to note that 81% of the agricultural soils in Wayne County are designated as nationally significant soils by the American Farmland Trust. Nationally significant ground is deemed to be the best land for long term production of food and other crops.
Wayne County has a rich agricultural history and has enormous opportunity to be a significant food producing county for the foreseeable future. It is very important though that we realize that our situation is not commonly shared by other counties or states. To remain in a situation where we have access to such a diverse range of local agricultural outputs, we must realize the value in what we have and prioritize keeping agriculture as a driving force in our county.
Remember folks, farmers make up less than 2% of the population and farm ground is lost at a rate of an acre every three minutes. Do not take what we have in this county for granted.
Upcoming Extension events
Please join OSU Extension - Wayne County for a free small fruit production and management workshop. Fruit covered by this workshop includes strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry. This is a free event that will cover best management practices, insect and disease identification and management, soil sampling and fertility management. This workshop will be led by Frank Becker, IPM program ccoordinator for OSU Extension – Wayne County.
The workshop will be held 1-4 p.m. Tuesday, April 19, at the farm of Nathan Mast, 5082 TR 419, Sugarcreek. The Mast family will provide refreshments. There is no cost to attend, but we do request you pre-register to ensure we have enough materials for participants. Please pre-register with OSU Extension - Wayne County at 330-264-8722 or by emailing Frank Becker at becker.587@osu.edu.
Native Plant Day
OSU Extension - Wayne County also is excited to host a Native Plant Day at the Miller Pavilion in Secrest Arboretum Friday, April 22, 1-4:45 p.m. Speaker topics include the impact of native plants on native fauna, prairie grasses, pesticide-pollinator relationships, and pawpaw trees.
The afternoon will conclude with a tour of Secrest Arboretum by its curator, Jason Veil.
Miller Pavilion is located at 2122 Secrest Road, Wooster. Registration is requested for preparation of materials. Cost to attend is $10 at the door. Please call 330-264-8722 register.
Frank Becker is the Wayne County OSU Extension Agriculture & Natural Resources Integrated Pest Management Program Coordinator, and Certified Crop Advisor, and may be reached at 330-264-8722 or becker.5872osu.edu

A teen is so allergic to the COLD that his parents have to whack the heating on full all day every day and drive him to school - as they're 'terrified' he could DIE if he walked. Calum Courtney, 14, suffers with from a condition called cold urticaria meaning he can't go outside the house for more than 15 minutes without his skin breaking into red and itchy rashes.
The allergy is so bad that Calum breaks out in hives if the temperature is less than 24 degrees or if an arm or leg isn't covered by the duvet while he's sleeping. Mum Tupney Courtney and finance manager dad David Courtney, both 38, fear the allergy could send him into anaphylactic shock meaning they have to drive him to the school gates every day as well as making sure he's always wearing a tracksuit.
Tupney explained that anaphylactic shock could be deadly for Calum as he hasn't been prescribed an epi pen. Calum is forced to miss out on ice skating, swimming and had to give up playing football just after he was diagnosed ten years ago and the family must have the heating whacked up on full all day, every day.
Tupney, from Basildon, Essex, said: "As a teenager, it affects everything, he can't play out or play sports. He had to stop playing football because his whole face swells up.
"He can't be outside for long if it's cold. He goes out and has to keep coming back in. He always gets really hot because we have to wrap his skin up.
"He used to really get upset because he really wanted to play football. As a young boy, playing football puts you in the group of kids that everyone wants to talk to.
"He breaks out on whatever part of the body is cold. At first, it's the parts of the body that aren't clothed like his face and hands.
"If he's out long enough, it's everywhere even with three layers of clothes. It starts off like little red dots, it looks like chicken pox then they get bigger and join together. They're so uncomfortable. He said it feels pinchy, prick feeling, like stinging nettles then it gets really itchy.
"If he's in water that's too cold, he goes bright red and says it feels like it's burning. That's a different feeling and he comes over not well, like he's going to pass out.
"I think that's the early stages of anaphylactic shock. You have to really warm him up and try and get him warm form the inside with hot drinks.
"You have to think of everything. If he hurts himself, he can't have a cold compress. He banged his hand at school and they said he needed to go to hospital because his hand had doubled in size but when I got there, he had a cold compress on it so as soon as I warmed it up, it went down."
"You don't know what reaction he could have, he could have anaphylactic shock, it's not beyond the realms of possibility even though he hasn't, it could happen at any point."
Calum was diagnosed when he was four after he erupted in hives while playing outside at a family wedding. His panicked parents assumed he had a pollen allergy and gave him some anti-histamines.
Mum-of-two Tupney said: "It started the day after my sister-in-law's wedding. He was playing outside the hotel with cousins having fun and he came up in head-to-toe hives. They were real big welts all over him.
"He was only four and we hadn't seen that kind of reaction before so we were giving him anti-histamines and brought him indoors.
"We presumed it was the fields and something to do with grass or a specific plant that he'd been around. It eventually went down but it kept coming up over the next few months and we weren't sure what it was.
"It was summer and we were having windows open and in the UK most of the time unless it's boiling hot, there's still a cool breeze that comes in. For a while we still thought it was pollen of some sort.
"It transpired as we went into winter, it started to get terrible. He used to play football at school on a Friday and as it got colder, he'd be wearing a tracksuit and under armour and he would still be smothered in lumps all over him.
"It was happening all the time and we started to realise that if his arm was out of the quilt, that would come up in hives but the rest of him wouldn't so we started to see it was the cold.
"The doctor said it was the cold but that was it, we didn't get referred anywhere, there wasn't much knowledge of it.
"They told us to manage it how we had been doing, to keep him warm and out of the cold but in a child's life, day in, day out, they're doing something cold, playing at the park, even being at home because you don't want the heating on full blast all the time. It was a bit of a challenge to manage it."
The family are speaking out in the hopes of finding a cold urticaria specialist and of raising awareness as Tupney says half of the battle is trying to convince people that the condition is real. Tupney said: "It's a nightmare when it comes to him doing anything. If he tells people, it's a constant battle of trying to prove it to people.
"People's first reaction is 'oh yes, I'm allergic to the cold too'. They think he's saying he doesn't like the cold. It's so frustrating that no one believes him. He gets people saying 'what's on your face?'
"Most other countries have epi pens for it. Over here it's not the same, it's infuriating. It's impossible to get something to help.
"I want to find a doctor that specialises in CU which I can't seem to find. We find allergy doctors and dermatologists but no one specialising in that specific allergy. I want as much information as possible but no one can give it to you.
"It's really difficult. We need help. It's ten years of struggling, I wish we could get him a proper anti-histamine that meant he could play out without looking like he's got a disease.
"Doctors suggest a lifestyle change to avoid the cold, ok we won't live, we'll stay indoors, not doing anything or going anywhere. You can't change your life and move abroad."
Tupney has to take Calum to school every day as he wouldn't make the 45-minute journey without having a break out. Tupney said: "If he goes out in really fine rain or gets wet it's even worse. He can't stay outside because it takes over.
"He can't wear t shirts for school because if he doesn't have anything on his arms, the cold desk makes him come up in hives. When it's raining and I take him to the gate, the walk from the car to the gate makes his clothes slightly damp and he can't stay in them and has to get changed.
"He likes to watch his brother play football and we take him tracksuits, hot water bottles, blankets but he has to go and get in the car because his nose swells up and his eyes get further apart.
"It will only be on his face because the rest of his body is covered but it gets so uncomfortable. When you start warming him up, after about 20 minutes, it calms down."
The family are looking forward to a holiday in Turkey in August but Tupney has had to book a hotel with an indoor, heated swimming pool as she worries that being in cold water could send Calum into anaphylactic shock. Tupney said: "It affects everything, we could never go to a cold country, we can't go to most hotels because they have cold swimming pools.
"It stops us being able to holiday abroad because they don't have heated swimming pools.We picked the hottest country we could find.
"It affects so much, when kids want to go ice skating, when kids want to go swimming, anywhere, to the beach, he can't go because it's too risky. We went to swim with dolphins in Florida and he couldn't stay in the water.
"I have to research the hotels and it costs a lot more money if there's an indoor swimming pool because he can't go in cold water and in another country it's even more scary and you haven't got an epi pen. It's terrifying.
"We're going to be burning hot but otherwise we'll never be able to go and try things out."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pacific Gas & Electric, the nation’s largest utility, has agreed to pay more than $55 million to avoid criminal prosecution for two major wildfires sparked by its aging Northern California power lines and submit to five years of oversight in an attempt to prevent more deadly blazes.
The company didn’t acknowledge any wrongdoing in the settlement announced Monday with prosecutors in six counties ravaged bylast year’s Dixie Fireand the 2019 Kincade Fire. The utility still faces criminal charges for a 2020 wildfire in Shasta County that killed four people.
The civil settlements are designed to accelerate payments to hundreds of people whose homes were destroyed so they can start rebuilding more quickly than those who suffered devastating losses in 2017 and 2018 blazes ignited by PG&E’s equipment. Those fires prompted the utility to negotiate settlements that included $13.5 billion earmarked for victims — money that still hasn’t been completely distributed.
The deal also thrusts the utility back into five years of independent oversight, similar to the supervision PG&E faced during itscriminal probation after it was convicted of misconduct that contributed to a natural gas explosion that killed eight people in 2010.
Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch said that oversight was the biggest accomplishment to come from the settlement.
“We have limited tools and criminal law to deal with corporations and what we were able to do here was to get a five-year agreement that they will be overseen, that there will be an independent monitor, and that they will have to meet certain benchmarks,” she said Monday.
All told, PG&E has been blamed for more than 30 wildfires since 2017 that wiped out more than 23,000 homes and businesses and killed more than 100 people.
PG&E’s federal probation ended in late January, raising worries from the federal judge who tried to force the utility to reduce fire risks by requiring more maintenance and reporting. U.S. District Judge William Alsup warned that PG&E remained a “continuing menace to California” and urged state prosecutors to try to rein in the company that provides power to 16 million people.
In a joint statement covering five of the six counties that settled, prosecutors said PG&E will be “essentially on a five-year probation” to be overseen by Filsinger Energy Partners, which already acts as a safety monitor for California power regulators.
PG&E will have to underwrite the federal monitor’s costs, up to $15 million annually, in addition to the $55 million in other payments and penalties that the utility expects to incur in the settlement.
As part of their settlement, Sonoma County prosecutors agreed to drop 33 criminal charges filed last year that accused PG&E of inadvertently injuring six firefighters and endangering public health with smoke and ash from the Kincade Fire that began in October 2019.
Fire officials said a PG&E transmission line sparked the fire, which destroyed 374 buildings in wine country and caused nearly 200,000 people to flee as it burned through 120 square miles (311 square kilometers), the largest evacuation in county history.
Prosecutors in the other five counties were exploring criminal charges in last year’s Dixie Fire before cutting the deal that they said will result in far larger payouts than had they hauled PG&E into court. Because there were no deaths in the Dixie Fire, prosecutors said the utility would have paid a maximum penalty of about $330,000 if it had been found guilty in a criminal case.
Ravitch said state laws that limit punishment against a corporation to probation and fines helped motivate the settlement. She said if PG&E had been successfully prosecuted in the Sonoma County case it would have paid a fine of just $9.4 million, most of which would have gone to the state.
Instead, the county will now receive more than $20 million earmarked for nonprofits that help people affected by wildfires and for Santa Rosa Junior College so that it can expand fire safety and vegetation management programs. It will also reimburse the DA’s office for the costs of investigating and litigating the case, she said.
Even when PG&E pleadedguilty to 84 felony counts of involuntary manslaughter f or the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, the company was fined just $3.5 million.
In a statement, PG&E CEO Patti Poppe said the utility welcomed the chance to be more transparent — and ultimately more accountable — for its operations.
“We are committed to doing our part, and we look forward to a long partnership with these communities to make it right and make it safe,” Poppe said.
The money that that PG&E will pay as part of the settlements will account for a just sliver of its anticipated liabilities in the Kincade, Zogg and Dixie fires. As of December 31, PG&E estimated it will likely be held responsible for at least $2.3 billion in losses stemming from those wildfires. Some of the estimated $1.15 billion in damages caused by the Dixie Fire may be paid by a state-backed insurance fund that California lawmakers created after PG&E filed for bankruptcy in 2019.
The Dixie Fire burned nearly 1 million acres (3,900 square kilometers) in Butte, Plumas, Lassen, Shasta, and Tehama counties and destroyed more than 1,300 homes and other buildings. The blaze started on July 13, 2021 when a tree hit electrical distribution lines west of a dam in the Sierra Nevada, according to investigators with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The settlement for the Dixie Fire was made by district attorneys in Plumas, Lassen, Tehama, Shasta and Butte counties, which will receive nearly $30 million.
Although her office participated in the Dixie Fire settlement, Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett said she will continue to pursue a criminal case related to the Zogg Fire, which killed four.

Is MicroStrategy Actually A Viable Bitcoin Replacement?
Summary
- MSTR has made it clear its analytics business is secondary to owning Bitcoin.
- Given this, it is reasonable to think MicroStrategy is a viable alternative to Bitcoin.
- However, it isn't, and MicroStrategy brings with it other issues that you don't get by simply buying Bitcoin.
- I don't think anyone should buy MicroStrategy because of this.
The digital currency boom that took off in earnest late last year has certainly created some interesting opportunities in the financial markets. One such opportunity has been in companies that started using their corporate cash balances to buy cryptocurrencies, and none takes the top step of the podium quite like MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR).
MicroStrategy runs a fairly small enterprise analytics business, but since late last year, it has been all about its investments in Bitcoin. The company appears to be using every spare dime it has - along with billions of dollars in freshly-minted capital - to buy as much Bitcoin as it can, as the company's capital allocation strategy is fully dependent upon its belief that Bitcoin is ready to soar. That has created some striking moves in the stock, which we can see below.
In this article, I'll take a look at MicroStrategy's correlation to Bitcoin (it's probably lower than you think), the value of its holdings, and my view on Bitcoin itself. The conclusion I've come to after examining the evidence is that MicroStrategy is actually a rather poor substitute for just buying Bitcoin, and for that reason, I don't think anyone should bother with MicroStrategy shares.
Source: StockCharts
Let's first look at MicroStrategy's chart, which we can see above has been unbelievably volatile since it came public with its Bitcoin strategy. The stock ~10X'd into the top that was made in February, but has been cut in half since. And that's after a 50% rally since early June. When I say this thing is volatile, I'm not joking, so that's the first thing you need to understand about MicroStrategy. You will get huge moves in both directions, so if that doesn't suit you, find something else to buy.
In terms of support levels, the double bottom that was made in the low-$400s is the only real form of support right now, but as I said, that's also a long way down, so you could see a big move down before the stock finds its bottom again on any selling. Shares are going for about $600 pre-market as I write this.
On the plus side, I've circled on the chart where all of the major moving averages have turned higher, and have converged. This is a bullish development in that prices are moving higher across a variety of time frames, and rising moving averages tend to support stocks during rally phases.
Another bullish note is that the accumulation/distribution line is one of the steepest I've ever seen, indicating that the dip buyers are out in force. That's a tremendously bullish development as buyers overwhelm sellers.
The momentum indicators - the PPO and 14-day RSI - are also both moving sharply higher, which you'd expect during a quick rally like we've seen. The PPO has just crossed above the centerline, which is bullish, but needs to stay there if a bigger rally is to play out.
All in, I'd say the chart is looking for MicroStrategy to go higher, but this is no ordinary stock given the company's enormous bet on Bitcoin that has - more or less - made the actual analytics business more of an afterthought.
If we look in the bottom panel of the chart above, we see MicroStrategy's correlation to Bitcoin on a 20-day basis. In essence, this measures whether the two securities move in the same direction as each other over a 20-day period. We can see that MicroStrategy's correlation to Bitcoin isn't always that strong, indicating that other factors are in play for the stock outside of simply mimicking movements of the coin.
For those of you buying MicroStrategy because you want exposure to Bitcoin, this should be of particular interest because the correlation chart would suggest you're not always getting a move that is commensurate with Bitcoin's. I'll say the correlation is almost always positive, so there is certainly some efficacy to buying MicroStrategy as a way to gain exposure to Bitcoin, but it is nowhere near high enough that I'd suggest doing that as a Bitcoin replacement.
Now, let's take a look at some different time frames of correlation to see if MicroStrategy is closer to a Bitcoin replacement than others. Below we have a 10-day correlation, and we can see it isn't better in terms of Bitcoin replacement.
Source: StockCharts
The correlation actually goes negative quite often on this time frame, something I wasn't expecting to see given that MicroStrategy essentially exists today to buy Bitcoin, or at least that's what the company's stated strategy is. And given the amount of Bitcoin it owns relative to the size of its analytics business, I'd say that is certainly the case.
Finally, let's look at a 50-day correlation.
Source: StockCharts
This time frame is certainly showing a more consistent correlation to Bitcoin, but we are talking about a 50-day trading period, which is quite long. And even still, we saw a very strong downturn in correlation from the February high and into an April low, before another strong move up in correlation, which sits at 0.80 today.
The point of all of this is that if you're buying MicroStrategy as a Bitcoin replacement, I think you'll be sorely disappointed in the way the stock behaves relative to the coin itself. The correlation is much better than it would be for a random stock that isn't trying to be a Bitcoin tycoon, but it is certainly nowhere near high enough that I'd suggest that as a strategy.
Now, let's take a look at what MicroStrategy is doing to see if we can find some value there.
So…many…Bitcoins
Here's a snapshot from the company's most recent earnings report, which was about two months ago, but details MicroStrategy's goal of allocating its capital to Bitcoin in massive quantities.
Source: Investor presentation
As of the end of April, the company owned ~92k Bitcoins, for which it paid a total of $2.23 billion, or $24,311 per Bitcoin. At the time of this slide's publication, that stash was worth $5.1 billion. Today, it is worth about $2.9 billion. This is the problem with a corporation essentially betting its future on a cryptocurrency; downturns can be absolutely devastating.
But MicroStrategy is using the pullback in Bitcoin to double down on its position, raising $1 billion from common share sales, as well as $500 million in senior notes that mature in seven years' time. Thus, MicroStrategy must overcome not only the volatility inherent in Bitcoin, but there is an interest expense hurdle from its debt as well. For instance, this most recent $500 million offering carries with it a 6.125% annual interest rate, or just over $30 million in annual interest expense. That's about half of trailing-twelve-months operating profit, so my guess is that MicroStrategy will be selling Bitcoin in the future to fund things like debt servicing, and certainly for paying down any debt. The simple fact is its analytics business is nowhere near big enough to service the obligations the company has taken on, so MicroStrategy quite literally is betting the farm on the future of Bitcoin.
That is no doubt a factor in the company's junk rating of CCC+, which is a warning sign to investors that the company has no ability to pay down its debt - or service it - without a strong price showing from Bitcoin.
For what it is worth, the share sales and newest debt offering combine for $1.5 billion, which would get MicroStrategy another ~47k coins at today's price. We'll see during the Q2 earnings call what the company was actually able to pick up, but that's good for a roughly 50% increase in the company's holdings if it is all spent near today's prices. So if you thought MicroStrategy was leveraged to Bitcoin before, fasten your seatbelt.
What about Bitcoin?
All of this begs the question of what to do if you want exposure to Bitcoin. The short answer is that buying MicroStrategy for Bitcoin exposure looks to me to be a poor strategy. The company's share price isn't always correlated to Bitcoin returns, so if your primary goal is to mimic Bitcoin, MicroStrategy isn't going to do that.
Second, MicroStrategy has an enormous amount of debt it has issued relative to the size of the analytics business, so if Bitcoin sells off, I suspect the damage to MicroStrategy will be worse on a proportional basis to that of Bitcoin itself.
Third, if you want exposure to Bitcoin, there are myriad ways to do that, and you don't need to mess around with a company that is issuing common shares that dilute shareholders, or massive amounts of debt it could never hope to pay off without selling Bitcoin to do so.
For that reason, I don't understand why anyone would want to own MicroStrategy at this point, so I'm staying away.
One final note on Bitcoin - and I suspect if you're reading this, you're interested in Bitcoin - is that we are pulling back into support. I posted my detailed Bitcoin bull case recently, so I won't go through everything again. But this pullback is very near where I see support, so a showdown between bulls and bears appears to be on the horizon for this week.
Source: StockCharts
Nothing has changed about my longer-term outlook on Bitcoin, with the momentum indicators turning higher after prolonged weakness and the accumulation/distribution line remaining strong. But now, the price has plummeted in recent days very close to support. If you want to own Bitcoin, now is the time to do so.
If we break support in the area of $30k, my near-term bull case is dead and would need to be reassessed. But currently, I don't expect that to happen. We shall see.
The one thing I do know is that MicroStrategy's leverage and share issuances are not good things for shareholders, and I worry about its ability to service debt without having to sell Bitcoin, which sort of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place.

AVENEL, N.J. (AP) — The familiar sights and sounds are still there: the scuffed and faded floor tiles, the relentless beige-on-beige color scheme, the toddlers’ clothes and refrigerators and pretty much everything in between.
There’s even a canned recording that begins, “Attention, Kmart shoppers” — except it’s to remind folks about COVID-19 precautions, not to alert them to a flash sale over in ladies’ lingerie like days of old.
Many of the shelves are bare, though, at the Kmart in Avenel, New Jersey, picked over by bargain hunters as the store prepares to close its doors for good April 16.
Once it shutters, the number of Kmarts in the U.S. — once well over 2,000 — will be down to three in the continental U.S. and a handful of stores elsewhere, according to multiple reports, in a retail world now dominated by Walmart, Target and Amazon.
The demise of the the store in the middle-class suburb, 15 miles (24 kilometers) south of New York City, is the tale of the death of the discount department store writ small.
“You’re always thinking about it because stores are closing all over, but it’s still sad,” said cashier Michelle Yavorsky, who said she has worked at the Avenel store for 2 ½ years. “I’ll miss the place. A lot of people shopped here.”
In its heyday, Kmart sold product lines endorsed by celebrities Martha Stewart and Jaclyn Smith, sponsored NASCAR auto races and was mentioned in movies including “Rain Man” and “Beetlejuice.” It was name-dropped in songs by artists from Eminem to the Beastie Boys to Hall & Oates; in 2003, Eminem bought a 29-room, suburban Detroit mansion once owned by former Kmart chairman Chuck Conaway.
The chain cemented a place in American culture with its Blue Light Specials, a flashing blue orb affixed to a pole that would beckon shoppers to a flash sale in progress. Part of its success was due to its early adoption of layaway programs, which allowed customers who lacked credit to reserve items and pay for them in installments.
For a time, Kmart had a little bit of everything: You could shop for your kids’ back-to-school supplies, get your car tuned up and grab a meal without leaving the premises.
“Kmart was part of America,” said Michael Lisicky, a Baltimore-based author who has written several books on U.S. retail history. “Everybody went to Kmart, whether you liked it or not. They had everything. You had toys. You had sporting goods. You had candy. You had stationery. It was something for everybody. This was almost as much of a social visit as it was a shopping visit. You could spend hours here. And these just dotted the American landscape over the years.”
Kmart’s decline has been slow but steady, brought about by years of falling sales, changes in shopping habits and the looming shadow of Walmart, which coincidentally began its life within months of Kmart’s founding in 1962.
Struggling to compete with Walmart’s low prices and Target’s trendier offerings, Kmart filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early 2002 — becoming the largest U.S. retailer to take that step — and announced it would close more than 250 stores.
A few years later, hedge fund executive Edward Lampert combined Sears and Kmart and pledged to return them to their former greatness, but the recession and the rising dominance of Amazon contributed in derailing those goals. Sears filed for Chapter 11 in 2018 and currently has a handful of stores left in the U.S. where it once had thousands.
Kmarts continue to operate in Westwood, New Jersey; Bridgehampton, on New York’s Long Island, and Miami.
It didn’t have to end this way, according to Mark Cohen, director of retail studies at Columbia University in New York and former CEO of Sears Canada. Trying to compete with Walmart on price was a foolish strategy, he said, and Lampert was criticized for not having a retail background and appearing more interested in stripping off the assets of the two chains for their cash value.
“It’s a study in greed, avarice and incompetence,” Cohen said. “Sears should have never gone away; Kmart was in worse shape, but not fatally so. And now they’re both gone.
“Retailers fall by the wayside sometimes because they’re selling things people don’t want to buy,” he continued. “In the case of Kmart, everything they used to sell, people are buying but they’re buying it from Walmart and Target.”
Transformco, which owns Kmart and Sears, did not respond to an email seeking comment and a phone number listed for the company was not taking messages.
Nationwide, some former Kmarts remain vacant while others have been replaced by other big-box stores, fitness centers, self-storage facilities, even churches. One former site in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is now a popular dine-in movie theater.
Employees at the Kmart in Avenel found out last month that the store would close.
Unlike 20 years ago, when news of impending Kmart closures around the country prompted an outpouring of support from loyal shoppers and a Detroit radio station even mounted a campaign to try and save a local store, the closing of the Avenel location was met mostly with an air of resignation.
“It’s maybe a little nostalgic because I’ve lived my whole life in this area, but it’s just another retail store closing,” said Jim Schaber, a resident of nearby Iselin who said his brother worked in the shoe department at Kmart for years. “It’s just another sign of people doing online shopping and not going out to the retail stores.”
The closing packed a little more of an emotional punch for Mike Jerdonek, a truck driver who recalled shopping at Kmart in Brooklyn and Queens in his younger days.
“It’s like history passing right in front of our eyes,” he said as he sat in his car outside the Avenel store. “When I was younger I didn’t have any money, so it was a good place to shop because the prices were cheap. And to see it gone right now, it’s kind of sad.”

Government has launched a massive investigation aimed at expunging at least 22 000 teachers and headmasters accused of participating in the February strike.
Most teachers failed to report for duty when schools reported for the first term of 2022, citing incapacitation due to poor salaries.
They were demanding to be paid the pre-October 2018 salary of US$540.
In response, the government suspended teachers it deemed truant.
The country has about 140 000 teachers employed at public schools.
Public Service Commission acting secretary Walter Mpandawana said the number was lower but declined to give details.
"The whole picture hasn't been provided to the commission. We have received some figures, but I don't have the statistics now. The figures are not that much, it's just that I don't have the statistics at the moment," Mpandawana said.
But the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe president Obert Masaraure said the figures of suspended teachers were alarming.
"At the moment we have recorded around 1 220 teachers who have been suspended, including school heads while 22 000 are being investigated. We have been challenging the suspension because it is illegal. We hope the courts overturn these suspensions. We can't have a country being run like this. Our labour laws don't allow such things," Masaraure said.
Progressive Teachers Unions of Zimbabwe (Ptuz) president Takavafira Zhou claimed that the number of suspended teachers was over 5 000.
"Actually 22 000 is an understatement because more than 50 000 are under investigation by the government. We have more than 5 000 who are already on suspension without pay yet the law is very clear that unless you have a criminal record you can be suspended on half salary. So the whole essence of the assault on teachers by the government is very unfortunate," Zhou said.
He also said government's ban on striking teachers being census enumerators was just to financially cripple the striking teachers.
"There has been expulsion of teachers from the census programme. More than 25 000 teachers have already been expelled from the current exercise. We had legally notified our employer, the PSC that the teachers were incapacitated.
"So the legal issue is not between the Primary and Secondary Education ministry and teachers, but it is between the PSC and teachers. There seems to be a political directive to punish teachers. Teachers are the most qualified to conduct the census programme and they have experience. It is just Zanu PF's attempt to reward its foot soldiers. It is an unfortunate political expediency because we did not expect to see that 42 years after the country's independence," Zhou added.
Masaraure said Artuz would sue government for barring teachers who declared incapacitation from participating in the population census.
"We are looking at the case, we understand that some teachers who had gone for training as census enumerators had legitimate expectations from the employer, but they were expelled after signing the contracts. So we will be investigating the matter and we are going to sue the government. This demonstrates the high level of vindictiveness of our government," Masaraure said.
The government has said it will engage youths and civil servants for the 2022 census.

President Vladimir Putin warned the West on Tuesday that attempts to isolate Moscow would fail, citing the success of the Soviet space programme as evidence that Russia could achieve spectacular leaps forward in tough conditions.
Russia says it will never again depend on the West after the United States and its allies imposed crippling sanctions on it to punish Putin for his Feb. 24 order for what he called a “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Sixty one years to the day since the Soviet Union’s Yuri Gagarin blasted off into the history books by becoming the first man in space, Putin travelled to the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East, 3,450 miles (5550 km) east of Moscow.
“The sanctions were total, the isolation was complete but the Soviet Union was still first in space,” Putin said, according to Russian state television.
“We don’t intend to be isolated,” Putin said. “It is impossible to severely isolate anyone in the modern world – especially such a vast country as Russia.”
Russia’s Cold War space successes such as Gagarin’s flight and the 1957 launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite from earth, have a particular pertinence for Russia: both events shocked the United States. The launch of Sputnik 1 prompted the United States to create NASA in a bid to catch up with Moscow.
Putin says the “special military operation” in Ukraine is necessary because the United States was using Ukraine to threaten Russia – including via the NATO military alliance – and that Moscow had to defend Russian-speaking people in Ukraine from persecution.
He said on Tuesday that the had no doubts Russia would achieve all of its objectives in Ukraine – a conflict he cast as both inevitable and essential to defend Russia in the long term.
“Its goals are absolutely clear and noble,” Putin said. “It’s clear that we didn’t have a choice. It was the right decision.”
Ukrainian forces have mounted stiff resistance and the West has imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia in an effort to force it to withdraw its forces.
Russia’s economy is on track to contract by more than 10% in 2022, the biggest fall in gross domestic product since the years following the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, former finance minister Alexei Kudrin said on Tuesday.
Putin toured the space port in Russia’s far east with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
“Why an earth are we getting so worried about these sanctions?” Lukashenko said, according to Russian state television.
Lukashenko, who has a track record of sometimes saying things that appear to jar with his closest ally’s stated positions on a range of issues, has insisted that Belarus must be involved in negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine and has said that Belarus had been unfairly labelled “an accomplice of the aggressor”.

Plot twist: The man who once called Syracuse “trash” is now the voice of an iconic dog created by a Syracuse University alumnus.
Netflix has released the first trailer for “Marmaduke,” featuring Pete Davidson as the titular troublemaking Great Dane from the classic comic strip by Brad Anderson. The “Saturday Night Live” star can be heard saying “cannonball” in one scene, but most of the dialogue in the preview is from the rest of the cast, which includes J.K. Simmons and David Koechner.
The new CGI animation film, written by Byron Kavanagh, follows a legendary dog trainer who believes he can help Marmaduke become the first Great Dane in history to win the Westminster Champion’s trophy, or the “World Dog Championship.”
Anderson, who graduated from SU in 1951 and briefly worked for a public relations company in Utica before becoming a full-time cartoonist, created “Marmaduke” in 1954. He worked on the comic strip, syndicated to more than 500 newspapers in 10 countries, until his death in 2015.
“Marmaduke” was previously adapted into a 2010 movie starring Owen Wilson and Judy Greer. That same year, Syracuse University unveiled “The Original Art of the Funny Papers,” an exhibit of syndicated cartoons featuring work by Anderson and fellow SU alumni Greg Walker (“Beetle Bailey”) and Robb Armstrong (“Jump Start”).
It’s the latest credit for Davidson, a standup comedian who’s starred on “SNL” since 2014 and appeared in more than 30 other movies and TV shows, including “The Suicide Squad,” “Trainwreck,” and “The King of Staten Island.” He’s also known for his high-profile romances, including with ex-fiancee Ariana Grande and current girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
Davidson previously starred in American High’s “Big Time Adolescence,” shot in the Syracuse area in 2018, and made national headlines when he was pulled over by Manlius police in nearby Fayetteville. Davidson was never arrested, but his friend and passenger, Joey Gay, was charged with marijuana possession. Gay pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of marijuana in 2020 in a plea deal and paid $225 in cash in fines.
Davidson criticized Syracuse as “trash” in multiple interviews afterwards, but later said he was just joking during a visit to the Carrier Dome for a Syracuse basketball game in February.
“So when I was being interviewed about it, they were like, ‘How was your time in Syracuse?’ and I was like, ‘The movie was great, but it kinda sucks because we were getting followed around.’ And then they just took it and ran with it. But I don’t hate Syracuse,” he told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard. “That would be a very weird thing to randomly pick on, but it was kind of the timing and it just didn’t really come out the best way.”
“Marmaduke” will premiere May 6 on Netflix.

The lawyer of Khalifa Haftar who is being sued in US courts for allegedly committing human rights abuses in Libya has requested to postpone his client’s interrogation sessions until May 9, due to his inability to undergo investigation, according to the head of the Libyan-American Coalition, Issam Omeish.
Omeish explained on his Facebook account that Haftar’s counsel asked the plaintiffs’ attorney to postpone the interrogation session until May 9 because his client was fasting.
Earlier this month, the US district court of Virginia notified Khalifa Haftar of the need to attend hearings scheduled for April 25 in the cases lodged against him by Libyan families in the US.

Video: Queues as far as the eye can see as Falkirk Food Warehouse opens
Shoppers queued up in the early hours this morning in Falkirk Central Retail Park for the big opening of the new Food Warehouse.
As you can see from Falkirk Herald chief photographer Michael Gillen’s video the excitement was building among the shoppers – despite the early hour – to get inside for their first look at the massive new store – which
Stenhousemuir resident Sharlene Thomson had the honour of opening the shop – she had been queuing since 5am and was Falkirk Food Warehouse’s first ever customer.
Sharlene and the first 100 customers were able to share in £1000 worth of vouchers – ranging in price from £5 to £100 – to spend in the store.
Gerry Gatens, store manager, said: “It’s been fantastic – the turn out is unbelievable today. To be honest, we’ve been looking to to have a Food Warehouse in Falkirk for a long time so we’re delighted we have actually managed to get a unit here.
"The customers have been fantastic so far.”
Customers who entered the queue before 7.45am on the day also received a raffle ticket, with the chance to win one of eight prizes – including two Daewoo Halogen Air Fryers, three JML Household Essential Hampers, Falkirk FC signed merchandise and match day tickets.
The first 200 customers through the checkouts also receive a free large Easter egg and a two litre bottle of Irn Bru.
Operated by frozen food chain Iceland, Food Warehouses are on a much bigger size and scale than the group’s well-established stores.
Like Iceland’s original shops, the Food Warehouse features a large frozen food section as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, other “cook-from-scratch” foods and wide range of convenience foods.
The store’s owners applied for a premises licence at Falkirk Licensing Board at the end of last year.
Launched just seven years ago, The Food Warehouse now has more than 150 stores across Britain with significant growth plans for the remainder of 2022.

NY Lt Gov Benjamin arrested in campaign donation scheme
NEW YORK (AP) — New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, whose seven months in that role has been overshadowed by probes into a previous campaign, was arrested Tuesday in a federal corruption investigation.
The U.S. Attorney’s office said Benjamin was arrested on charges of bribery, honest services wire fraud and falsification of records.
Benjamin, formerly a state senator from Harlem, had joined the administration of Gov. Kathy Hochul in September, chosen by her to fill her former job a couple of weeks after she stepped into the governorship following the resignation of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo over sexual harassment allegations.
But just over two months later, a real estate developer who steered campaign contributions toward Benjamin’s failed bid for New York City comptroller was indicted.
Federal authorities accused Gerald Migdol of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft in illegally giving donations to Benjamin’s campaign.
Prosecutors had previously not made any accusations against Benjamin, and his campaign said at the time of Migdol’s arrest that it had forfeited any improper donations as soon as they were discovered.
More recently, reports came out saying subpoenas had been issued to Benjamin regarding the financial issues even before Hochul picked him as lieutenant governor.
Despite her saying she didn’t know of the subpoenas at the time, Hochul proclaimed her support for Benjamin, and he said he had told state police as they went though the process of vetting him.
“I have utmost confidence in my lieutenant governor,” Hochul said during a Thursday press conference. “This is an independent investigation related to other people and he’s fully cooperating. He is my running mate.”
Benjamin was the state’s second Black lieutenant governor. During his state Legislature career, the Democrat emphasized criminal justice reform and affordable housing. His district included most of central Harlem, where he was born and raised by Caribbean immigrant parents.
He has a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Brown University and a master’s of business administration from Harvard Business School, and worked as a developer of affordable housing.

A senior U.S. defense official says the U.S. continues to see signs of Russian forces moving into eastern Ukraine for what is expected to be a large-scale offensive in the coming days.
This includes Russian command-and-control elements, support battalions, infantry and helicopters moving into the country's Donbas region, just across from its border with Russia.
Over the last couple of weeks, Russia withdrew forces from around Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, retreating north into neighboring Belarus. Those forces are now moving to the east of Ukraine.
Here is what it looks like on the ground:

Gulf Oil Lubricants has released its digital-first campaign for this year’s cricket season featuring brand ambassador MS Dhoni. Aimed towards building a strong consumer connect, the ad campaign features Dhoni delivering dialogue in Tamil and Telugu. Launched with a 360 degree approach, the campaign will cover digital, TVCs and outdoor. Targeted at the southern markets, the ads will be on air throughout the cricket season.
The campaign has been conceptualised by OPN Advertising and DDB Mudra. For Chockalingam S, creative director, OPN Advertising, Dhoni has become a superstar akin to some of the biggest movie stars in terms of his fans in south. “We wanted our campaign to reflect this hero status both for Dhoni as well as the product. Which is why, we had punch dialogues and dramatic entry shots woven into every script. Watching him delivering dialogues in Tamil and Telugu was delightful and we hope that the local connect for the brand grows even stronger,” he added.
“Gulf Oil has, over the years, enjoyed a strong presence in the south market, all thanks to years of the MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings association. With these highly engaging, ‘uniquely south’ films, we saw an opportunity to strengthen the brand’s business reach and boost confidence, not just among our customers but also our retailers and distributors,” Anurag Tandon, managing partner, DDB Mudra Group, said.
For Ravi Chawla, MD and CEO, Gulf Oil Lubricants, South India has always been a top performing market for Gulf Oil. “With these campaign films, the brand hopes to strengthen the consumer connect further and enhance distribution in this part of the country. Our 11 years’ association with Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni has given us exponential growth and this was the best time to celebrate the longest association,” he stated.

Potchefstroom, Apr 12 (PTI) Mumtaz Khan's brace went in vain as the Indian women's hockey team's dream of reclaiming a bronze medal from the FIH Junior World Cup went up in smoke, losing 0-3 in the shoot-out to England after both the teams were locked 2-2 at the end of regulation time here on Tuesday.
Mumtaz, India's highest scorer in the tournament with eight strikes, scored two field goals in the 21st and 47th minutes, but those were cancelled by Millie Giglio (18th) and Claudia Swain (58th) to take the third-fourth play-off match to shoot-out.

The Indians cut a sorry figure in the shoot-out as Olympian Sharmila Devi, skipper Salima Tete and Sangita Kumari faltered, while England's Katie Curtis, Swain and Maddie Axford found the back of the Indian net to avenge their loss at the same stage in the 2013 edition.
In the 2013 Junior World Cup in Monchengladbach in Germany, India had secured its maiden bronze medal by defeating England in the shoot-out.

Contrary to the final result, it was India which had the better statistics in the match in all aspects, be it possession, circle penetrations and shots on goal.
But England had the last laugh as lapse in concentration in the final few minutes of the match cost India dearly.
The Indians, though, started the match on a positive note, securing two penalty corners in quick time just after the start but the English defence was up to the task to deny their opponents.
Lalrindiki then had an excellent chance to put India ahead but she fired wide from close range with only the English goalkeeper to beat.
England took the lead three minutes into the second quarter through a lucky goal.
Giglio's weak shot on goal from inside the circle bobbled towards India goalkeeper Bichu Devi Kharibam, who mistimed her kick as the ball went past between her legs inside the post.
It was an unfortunate mistake from the Indian custodian, who so far had an outstanding tournament under the bar.
England's joy lasted just three minutes as India equalised through, who else, than Mumtaz.
Mumtaz scored her seventh goal of the tournament by beautifully controlling a pass from the right flank with one touch and then slotted the ball into the English goal to draw parity.
Both the teams tried hard to take the initiative thereafter but failed to create any real scoring opportunity to go into the halfway break locked at 1-1.
It was a disappointing display by both India and England after the change of ends, dishing out frustrating and cagey hockey for most part of the next 15 minutes.
Just 11 minutes into the fourth quarter, England won a penalty corner but Bichu Devi made an excellent save to deny Maddie Axford.
The Indians continued to dominate in the final quarter, earning a couple of penalty corners but they failed in final execution.
India made the scoreline 2-1 in the 47th minute, yet again through Mumtaz, who cooly lifted over the English goalkeeper following a goal-mouth melee.
Trailing by a goal, a desperate England pulled off their goalkeeper for an extra player six minutes from the final hooter, and mounted numerous raids on the Indian citadel, which resulted in two penalty corners but the Indian defence stood firm till then.
But two minutes from full time, the Indian defence finally wilted under pressure when Swain scored the equaliser with a slap shot past Bichu Devi after receiving a pass from the right flank.

The Institutions Drive Volatility For Palo Alto Networks
Insiders have been selling Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) on a regular basis but it is nothing for shareholders to be worried about. The sales are small, periodic, incredibly regular, and spread among a wide range of execs and board members so are consistent with share-based compensation and not a red flag the company is failing. More importantly, insider holdings have been holding fairly steady at just over 2.0% and the institutions are major holders too.
The institutions hold about 86.25% of the stock and their activity has been heating up over the past few quarters. The takeaway here is that the institutions have been net sellers of the stock and yet share prices are still trending higher. In our view, selling smacks of profit-taking and rotation because the stock is up more than 300% since hitting its pandemic bottom. Based on the outlook and the analysts we see that trend continuing and it may be amplified by the institutions. The institutional activity so far in the first two weeks of Q2 has been very light and net-bullish. If the institutions simply stop selling it will remove a headwind for price action, if they start adding to their holdings the headwind turns into a tailwind.
The Analysts Are Driving Palo Alto Networks Higher
Palo Alto Networks is rising on a tide of good news that includes results and the analyst's expectations. The company has 32 current ratings and is attracting new analysts on a semi-regular basis. They rate the stock a firm Buy and that has held steady over the past year. The Insidertrades.com consensus estimate for the share price is $625, however, and assumes the stock is fairly valued at current levels, but it has been trending higher in the 12-month, 3-month, and 1-month period and is up 2% in the last month alone.
Biggest Disruption To Healthcare Market Since "Doc in a Box" Urgent Care Center
From Daily Trade Report | Ad
When "doc in a box" urgent care centers came onboard it was a revolution in healthcare. Suddenly millions had fast, instant access without having to go to a hospital. Today we're seeing the same kind of stunning disruption in the telehealth sector with the virtual healthcare clinic.
Consumers can make appointments to see a doctor on the spot or walk right in and be seen by a physician, as well as get testing and results without waiting weeks.
See How Can Investors Could Benefit From This
The latest two analyst commentaries came out in the first week of April 2022 and include a price target increase from Bank of America and a suggestion for investors to “aggressively buy” software and cyber security stocks like this one. Bank of America is more focused on the cloud side of the business and the transition to cloud services which we view as fundamental to the company’s success. Bank of America has a Buy rating on the stock while Wedbush has a higher Overweight rating.
The analysts are expecting Palo Alto Networks to report growth in Q4 when it reports on May 20th but we think they are underestimating tailwinds that are growing in the cybersecurity space. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the threat of Russian cyberattacks spurred a new wave of business for the industry that we don’t think will subside. The analyst's consensus is for a modest 3% gain sequentially and for YOY growth to slow to 27%. In our view, YOY growth will be flat to slightly higher and drive outsized performance on the bottom line as well.
The Technical Outlook: Palo Alto Networks Is Trending Higher
Palo Alto Networks is trending higher despite the volatility induced by the institutions. Price action has recovered nicely from that correction and is now firing off the second of two consecutive Rising Methods continuation patterns. This pattern reveals a change in sentiment within the market as it prepares to scale a new high. Assuming the market follows through on the signal, we see shares of Palo Alto Networks moving up toward the current high price target of $720 for a gain of 15% or more.

Ferrari star Charles Leclerc has built a commanding lead after winning two races so far this Formula 1 season, but he's determined not to become complacent.
The 24-year-old is on track to follow in Max Verstappen 's footsteps by becoming the latest member of the 'next generation' to win his maiden world championship. Red Bull ace Verstappen, meanwhile, has failed to finish twice in the first three races of the year and sits sixth in the standings.
As things stand, Leclerc is 34 points ahead of Mercedes ' George Russell in second, and Ferrari's F1-75 is proving itself to be the best car in the field. He's only too aware of the fine work Red Bull have conducted in recent years, however, and remains vigilant they have every chance of closing the gap.
Speaking to the media following his victory in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix, Leclerc said: “I know underneath me I’ve a car that is capable of winning and I don’t really have to overdo things or do something extremely special and spectacular to actually get one or two positions because I know it’s in the car and I just have to do the job.
“So the mindset is a little bit different this year. And then to keep up with Red Bull in terms of development will be difficult. But the same team that did this car will work on the development for this year’s car, so I am confident."
Leclerc's Melbourne win was made all the sweeter after titleholder Verstappen was forced to retire with a fuel issue. The latter's team-mate, Sergio Perez, managed to finish second but still crossed the line some 20 seconds behind Ferrari's poster boy.
Will Charles Leclerc win his first F1 world title in 2022? Let us know in the comments section.
Leclerc's partner, third-place Carlos Sainz, spun out on Sunday after completing just one lap, though he opened the season with back-to-back podiums. On top of their position of power in the drivers' pecking order, Ferrari has also established a significant cushion in the race for the manufacturers' title.
“There is no reason for us to be on the back foot because we’ve done a great job, or the guys at Maranello have done a great job, building up this car for this year," Leclerc added. "There are some developments coming and I’m confident it will go in the right direction. I wouldn’t focus too much on the others. I think we need to focus on ourselves.”
It's still early days, but Verstappen and Red Bull face an uphill battle to pull Leclerc back within their reach. The Dutchman's narrow win over his Ferrari rival in Jeddah last month serves as proof Red Bull remains competitive, but major changes are required if they're to underline that result wasn't an anomaly.

One of the most romantic possibilities in a relationship is being able to turn everyday activities into dates.
Whether it’s a walk round the park, doing the weekly shop, or even cleaning up, everything has the potential to feel that little bit easier when you do it with the person you love.
One household task that can easily become a bonding activity is cooking.
But what’s it really like to cook with a partner? Are the benefits worth the mild frustration you might feel having someone in your cooking space?
We heard from the couples who cook together regularly:
Imogen and Duncan, 39, Whitstable
Imogen and her partner Duncan cook together all of the time and make a concerted effort to learn something new each week.
‘I love it,’ Imogen tells Metro.co.uk.
‘We don’t have family nearby so it can be hard to go out, so we create our own date nights when we stay in.’
They even go foraging for ingredients together, adding an extra, adventurous step to the whole process.
‘It’s the time we spend together that bonds us,’ says Imogen.
‘Being outside to collect it and then coming home to make it and share.
‘We made gnocchi together for the first time a few weeks ago, using wild garlic that we had collected.
‘I love learning new things together and talking about them.’
The pair also cook with their daughters Xanthe, 4, and Athene, 4 months.
‘I love the memories we create so much when we cook and eat together,’ Imogen adds.
The couple have even written three best selling books on their love of food – Foraging Fairytales; wild festival, Foraging Fairytales: Elderflower Festival, Foraging Fairytales: Hedgerow Festival.
The benefits of cooking with a partner
According to Charlotte Hastings, an accredited psychotherapist and cooking teacher who offers ‘kitchen therapy’ to couples and individuals, this is because it ‘cements our need for one another, and our connection to one another, at a very primal level.’
This is because cooking – or feeding – is the first way we, as babies, learn to attach to and connect with another human.
It’s also something that needs to be done, fundamentally, because we need to eat to survive.
‘Cooking with a partner connects both our goal directed needs, so getting from A to B, with our connection seeking needs,’ Hastings tells Metro.co.uk.
She adds that it’s also a great way to spend quality time together without so much pressure (because you’re focusing on an activity) and that it can really help with problem solving in a relationship.
‘How you cook actually says a lot about how you are,’ she says.
‘Being able to decide who does what task, especially if there’s a disagreement, can help couples to learn how to negotiate and work through problems without resorting to arguments.’
Natalie, 31, and Nick, 34, London
Natalie has been with her husband Nick for four years.
Although Natalie was originally the main chef of the relationship, Nick has always been into health, fitness and food.
‘Between my Guyanese cooking, which can involve a lot of fried fish and rich curries, and his preference for lean meats, we definitely learnt a lot about each other’s health and fitness goals by cooking together in the early days,’ says Natalie.
‘It was also a really relaxing and fun way to get to know each other at the beginning.’
In lockdown, cooking together replaced date nights out at restaurants for the couple, says Natalie.
‘It definitely helped us to forget how strange the times were,’ she adds.
Although they don’t find the time to cook together as easily, especially since Natalie founded her oral cosmetics company SmileTime, the pair still prioritise it in their relationship.
‘That has just meant that, when we do make time to cook together, it’s a safe space where we can relax and switch our devices off,’ says Natalie.
How to navigate cooking with a partner
Cooking with a partner sounds great – given you have all the equipment, enough space not to butt heads (literally and figuratively) and a potwash.
Unfortunately, not everybody has a fancy island kitchen or a dishwasher, so compromises may need to be made to make the process as smooth as possible.
If setting up parallel chopping boards and divvying up the tasks equally simply isn’t possible in your kitchen, Hastings recommends seeing the activity not just as the act of cooking together, but everything that goes into it.
‘It’s also about the planning and talking about and obviously the clearing up and the eating,’ she says.
‘So it’s a whole process that you do together.’
So, if you cook together weekly or even monthly, it might be a good idea taking turns deciding who does the shopping trip, who does the chopping, who cooks and who cleans up.
She adds that while there may be a battle over who gets to do what, you might also find that one person will naturally take on the more creative role while the other may be happy playing sous chef.
‘The most important thing is working out the tasks and being appreciative of the fact that making a whole meal requires so many different equally important parts to it,’ Hastings adds.
Farren, 36, and Sarah, 38, Westminster
Farren, a personal trainer and soldier in the military, started cooking with his wife Sarah during the pandemic.
‘We took the opportunity to use cooking as a way for us to spend time with one another,’ he says.
As well as cooking healthy and tasty meals together, Farren and Sarah use their time cooking to focus on communicating, which means no phones.
‘By solely focusing on our communication, we both have the opportunity to speak and listen to one another so that we both feel heard which has significantly contributed to us supporting one another in our marriage,’ says Farren.
Both with stressful jobs – Sarah is a nurse – cooking together helps the pair manage their stress.
‘We both enjoy cooking so by doing it together we ultimately get to create a great meal that contributes to our health and wellbeing while creating moments and memories that we’ll be able to share with one another for years to come,’ says Farren.
He adds that the activity has definitely brought the two closer and helped them ‘reevaluate the importance of our time that we spent together.’
Farren says: ‘Through cooking together, we were able to connect with one another once more on a deeper level, and actively provide that emotional support for one another to make our marriage even stronger.’

'New stage of terror' possible, Zelensky warns as Russia menaces Ukraine's east and Putin vows to press on
As Russian forces pressed ahead Tuesday in their drive to seize the strategic southern port of Mariupol and encircle Ukrainian defenders in the country’s east, President Volodymyr Zelensky said the nearly 7-week-old war could be entering a “new stage of terror” for his embattled country, and again accused Russia of war crimes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, said there was "no doubt" Moscow would achieve its aims in Ukraine, and defended as a "noble" cause an invasion denounced by much of the world as horrific.
Western and Ukrainian military officials are trying to ascertain whether Russia had or intended to use chemical weapons in a final bid to subdue Mariupol. A Russian-backed separatist leader, who had earlier threatened their use, denied Tuesday that such munitions had been deployed.
After failing to capture the capital, Kyiv, Russia is now attempting to regroup and redeploy its forces in preparation for an all-out assault in Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, the country’s military said in its latest operational report. It also said Ukraine had thwarted half a dozen Russian attacks in the previous 24 hours in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
In devastated outlying areas of Kyiv that endured a month-long Russian occupation, investigators and Ukrainian troops moved ahead with the bleak and dangerous task of recovering the bodies of civilians and clearing away ordnance left behind in houses and garden sheds, in buildings and on streets, some even rigged on corpses.
In an overnight video address, Zelensky excoriated Russian troops for trying to inflict new carnage even after their departure.
Once-placid suburbs and satellite towns near the capital were now filled with “shells that did not explode, mines, tripwire mines,” the Ukrainian leader said, adding that the Russian forces “consciously did everything to make the return to these areas after de-occupation as dangerous as possible.”
Russia has denied committing atrocities against civilians, but the clean-up crews continued to gather additional evidence of horrific abuses. A senior U.N. official, Sima Bahous, told the Security Council on Monday that “brutality” against civilians must also be independently investigated, including emerging evidence of execution-style killings and rapes.
With Russian forces moving into place for a wide-ranging offensive in the east, Ukrainian officials redoubled pleas on Tuesday for civilians to flee while they are still able. On the Telegram messaging app, Luhansk’s regional governor, Serhiy Gaidai, implored people to use five agreed-on humanitarian corridors to leave the area rather than “burn in your sleep” from Russian shelling.
In Mariupol, on the Sea of Azov, defenders were continuing to “heroically hold” their positions, the Ukrainian army’s general staff wrote Tuesday on Telegram, a day after a besieged marine unit in the city posted on Facebook that it was running low on ammunition and that the situation was dire.
Capturing Mariupol would be a significant prize for Russia, because it would allow creation of a land corridor between Russian-controlled territory and the Crimean peninsula, seized by Moscow eight years ago.
In a seeming scale-back on the threat of using chemical weapons, a spokesman for Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine’s east — who had said Monday on Russian state television that such munitions would be used against Ukrainian forces in Mariupol — said Tuesday that it had not engaged in such tactics. The spokesman, Eduard Basurin, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying separatists “haven’t used any chemical weapons in Mariupol.”
Zelensky, in his overnight address, said without mentioning Basurin by name that the earlier statement “testifies to [Russia’s] preparation for a new stage of terror against Ukraine and our defenders.” One senior British defense official said Tuesday that if chemical weapons were in fact used by Russian forces, “all possible options are on the table” for a response.
Ukrainian and Western officials said they were monitoring unconfirmed social media reports that a chemical agent of some kind had been used in Mariupol. The British official, Armed Forces Minister James Heappey, told Sky News that “there are weapons that simply should not be used, and if they are used, people will be held to account.”
Fighting in the east had not yet begun in earnest, British military intelligence said in a new assessment Tuesday, but it said combat would “intensify over the next two or three weeks as Russia continues to refocus its efforts there.”
In the meantime, it said attacks were being aimed at Ukrainian positions near the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, with fighting around the southern cities of Kherson and Mykolaiv.
Neighboring Belarus, Russia’s ally, has become a key transit point for redeployment of Russian forces away from northern areas in preparation for fighting in the east. Putin's comments about the war came as Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko accompanied him to a spaceport in Russia's far east.
There, Putin likened the struggle against punishing Western economic sanctions imposed after the invasion to the Cold War-era Russian space program, whose early successes stunned the United States. In televised remarks carried by Interfax, the Russian leader declared that "there is no doubt that we will achieve our goals" in Ukraine.
Sounding themes he has previously used to justify the war, Putin blamed Western aggression, and said he had acted to ensure Russia's security.
"Its goals are absolutely clear and noble," he said of Moscow's military campaign, which has devastated Ukrainian towns and cities and left thousands of civilians dead or wounded.
In an ominous indicator of Putin’s determination to crush dissent at home, the Russian opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza was reported to have been detained by police in Moscow. Kara-Murza recovered from two separate life-threatening bouts of poisoning that he and his supporters have blamed on the Kremlin. Word of his detention came from another opposition figure, Ilya Yashin, writing on Twitter.
Meanwhile, major Western companies continued an exodus from Russia. On Tuesday, Finland-based telecom network Nokia said it was exiting the Russian market. A day earlier, the Swedish telecom giant Ericsson said it was suspending operations in Russia, and France’s third-largest bank, Societe Generale, said it was selling its controlling stake in Russia’s Rosbank.
McDonnell reported from Kyiv and King from Warsaw.

A former bank building could be transformed into a new use under plans for the site. Barclays announced last year that branches in Caernarfon and Porthmadog were to close.
Barclays said customers are increasingly using online alternatives to branches to do their banking and as a result they were seeing a sustained fall in branch visits. The sites shut in February.
Now an application has been lodged for the Caernarfon site on Bangor Street. The application is from Hertfordshire based property firm McGowan Group, which operates and develops property.

The firm wants to turn the building into two hot food takeaway units. A planning statement from KVB Architects Ltd said the proposed changes to the unit were “imperative in bringing the premises back into use”.
It added: “With the decline of in-person banking pre-pandemic, and worsened by Covid, the premises needs to adapt into a business that would better serve the community. The impact on the building and the local area has been carefully considered in the design of the alterations as to not affect the frontage of the first and second floors.” The applicant has not named any specific operators for the two sites.
The proposal will now be considered by planners at Gwynedd council.

WINDER, Ga. — A teen's body was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds on a dirt road Monday afternoon near a park by two drivers. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is now looking into the death.
They found the body of 19-year-old Lane Bullard lying beside a car on the road along the perimeter of City Pond Park and called 911, according to a statement from the GBI.
Officers with the Winder Police Department responded to the call around 5 p.m. and found Bullard had multiple gunshot wounds, the GBI said.
Investigators said the scene was just outside the Winder city limits, so the police department turned the case over to the Barrow County Sheriff's Office, who then requested the GBI get involved.
Authorities haven't made any arrests in connection to the incident and there's currently no information on what may have let up to the Bullard's untimely death.
This is an ongoing investigation, 11Alive will update this story as details become available. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the GBI Athens Field Office at (706) 552-2309.

Mid- And Small-Cap Fund Managers Lost Their Advantage - SPIVA U.S. Mid-Year 2021 Scorecard
Summary
- The SPIVA U.S. Mid-Year Scorecard continues to show that active funds’ strong absolute returns do not always translate into relative success compared with their benchmarks.
- In 15 out of 18 categories of domestic equity funds, the majority of actively managed funds underperformed their benchmarks.
- After adjusting for risk, the majority of actively managed domestic equity funds in all categories underperformed their benchmarks on a net-of-fees basis over long-term investment horizons.
By Berlinda Liu
The SPIVA® U.S. Mid-Year Scorecard continues to show that active funds’ strong absolute returns do not always translate into relative success compared with their benchmarks. In 15 out of 18 categories of domestic equity funds, the majority of actively managed funds underperformed their benchmarks. Over the 12-month period ending June 30, 2021, 58% of large-cap funds, 76% of mid-cap funds, and 78% of small-cap funds trailed the S&P 500®, S&P MidCap 400®, and S&P SmallCap 600®, respectively.
Vast underperformance in the mid- and small-cap segments is particularly interesting in that these active funds managed to do better than their large-cap counterparts in recent reports. Given that their outperformance seemed to occur when the large-cap benchmark had a higher return than the respective mid- or small-cap benchmark (see Exhibits 1 and 2), it is more likely that mid-cap and small-cap fund managers are quietly edging into the larger-cap space and benefiting from the higher returns available there. The re-opening gains of early 2021 add one more data point to that hypothesis. As the rest of the market caught up to the large-cap rally of the initial pandemic phase, mid-cap and small-cap managers who tilted up the capitalization scale were caught leaning in the wrong direction.
This is the first time we included risk-adjusted SPIVA scores in the report. We consider volatility, calculated through the standard deviation of monthly returns, as a proxy for risk, and use return/volatility ratios to evaluate performance. After adjusting for risk, the majority of actively managed domestic equity funds in all categories underperformed their benchmarks on a net-of-fees basis over long-term investment horizons.

While we’ve long known that Pete Davidson’s got BDE (Big Dick Energy), we’ve not heard from current girlfriend Kim Kardashian on this extremely pressing matter.
If the recent red carpet appearances and PDA-laced photos weren’t already an indication, Kim and Pete are super into each other, so it’s less than surprising that she confirmed their obvious chemistry and his obvious BDE on the April 12 episode of Dear Media’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.
During the episode, Kim recalled the first time she and Pete kissed—which, for those keeping track at home, was during a fall 2021 skit on Saturday Night Live where Kim (who hosted the episode) played the Jasmine to Pete’s Aladdin. In a pretty cringey moment, host Amanda Hirsch asked Kim if she felt the “BDE that everyone talks about” after the kiss, and Kim kept it PG.
“When we kissed, I was just like, ‘Hmm!’” she said. “It was a stage kiss, but it was still a little zing. It wasn’t anything like a super, crazy feeling.”
She went on to explain how the moment had her realizing that she hadn’t “kissed anyone else in 10 years,” as she’d been together with Kanye West for so long. After making out with Pete, Kim said she thought, “I just got to get myself out there” and was pretty bummed when Pete was the only cast-member to not come to Kim’s SNL episode after-party.
“A few days later, I was like, ‘Hmm, there is some BDE action,” she said. “I thought about it later. I was like, ‘Damn, he’s the only person who didn’t come.’”
Thank you for finally weighing on this, Kim. The people needed to know.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, whose seven months in that role has been overshadowed by probes into a previous campaign, was arrested Tuesday in a federal corruption investigation.
The Democrat was accused in an indictment of participating in a scheme to obtain campaign contributions from a real estate developer in exchange for Benjamin’s agreement to use his influence as a state senator to get a $50,000 grant of state funds for a nonprofit organization the developer controlled.
Facing charges including bribery, fraud, conspiracy and falsification of records, he was expected to make an initial appearance Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. Two lawyers representing Benjamin did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Benjamin had joined the administration of Gov. Kathy Hochul in September, chosen by her to fill her former job a couple of weeks after she stepped into the governorship following the resignation of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo over sexual harassment allegations.
Just over two months later, a real estate developer who steered campaign contributions toward Benjamin’s failed bid for New York City comptroller was indicted. Federal authorities accused Gerald Migdol of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft in illegally giving donations to Benjamin’s campaign.
The indictment said Benjamin, formerly a state senator from Harlem, and others acting at his direction or on his behalf also engaged in a series of lies and deceptions to cover up the scheme that stretched from 2019 to 2021.
They falsified campaign donor forms, misled municipal regulators and provided false information in vetting forms Benjamin submitted while he was being considered to be appointed as lieutenant governor, the indictment said.
Prosecutors had previously not made any accusations against Benjamin, and his campaign said at the time of Migdol’s arrest that it had forfeited any improper donations as soon as they were discovered.
More recently, reports came out saying subpoenas had been issued to Benjamin regarding the financial issues even before Hochul picked him as lieutenant governor.
Despite her saying she didn’t know of the subpoenas at the time, Hochul proclaimed her support for Benjamin, and he said he had told state police as they went though the process of vetting him.
“I have utmost confidence in my lieutenant governor,” Hochul said during a Thursday press conference. “This is an independent investigation related to other people and he’s fully cooperating. He is my running mate.”
“In her first major decision as governor, Kathy Hochul chose a dirty politician to serve as her partner in government and running mate. Brian Benjamin’s shady dealings and corruption were well-documented, but Hochul turned a blind eye and put him a heartbeat away from the governorship,” state Republican chairman Nick Langworthy said in a prepared statement.
Benjamin was the state’s second Black lieutenant governor. During his state Legislature career, he emphasized criminal justice reform and affordable housing. His district included most of central Harlem, where he was born and raised by Caribbean immigrant parents.
He has a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Brown University and a master’s of business administration from Harvard Business School, and worked as a developer of affordable housing.

Which pirate model ship is best?
Jack Sparrow’s Black Pearl. Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge. Charles Vane’s Ranger. Seeing any of these ships coming over the horizon during the golden age of piracy was enough to make any sensible captain to turn tail.
But while those days are long gone, you can still get a glimpse of their majestic presence on the high seas. Through highly detailed models such as CubicFun Queen Anne’s Revenge Pirate Ship, you can build them piece by piece to restore them to scaled-down former glory.
What to know before you buy a pirate model ship
Model ships can be complex
Unlike model airplane kits or submarines, sailing ships have a lot of intricate parts. The masts, ropes and rigging can consist of more than a few pieces and will need some steady hands to put together. Patience will be needed, but the included instructions will make it a bit easier to assemble.
Dedicated workspace
When assembling your ship, ensure that you have a dedicated workspace to lay out all the pieces correctly. This is especially important if you build the kit over several days. To save yourself some frustration, also have the necessary tools handy, and cover your day’s work when you finish so it’s not disturbed.
The scale is an indication of the complete size
All model kits are assembled according to the scale of the real object. That’s because the scale references the size of the ship. A model 1/36th the size of a conventional airplane will be smaller than a model 1/48th the size of a full-scale ship, as the real ship is larger than the real airplane.
What to look for in a quality pirate model ship
Attention to detail
Putting a model ship together takes some time, but the reward is a highly detailed ship with correct parts and trimmings. Although pirate ships come in different styles, a good-quality model is packed with small details to be a realistic replica of its real-life counterpart. This includes the correct number of cannons, accurate size and shape of the ship, and flying the pirate flag.
Robust construction materials
Airplane model kits are usually put together from balsa wood pieces, but most pirate model ships are made of robust plastic, metal, or expanded polystyrene foam. This makes assembly more manageable and ensures the model doesn’t degrade over time or get damaged. As with other models, instructions are included, but pirate model ships are different in that the pieces snap or click together. But, again, being made from plastic prevents damage.
How it is displayed
Completing a model ship is exciting, but that’s only half the job. It needs to be displayed in an action-packed, intriguing manner to make the most of your time and effort. A good-quality pirate ship can be staged in scenes where additional components can fill out details such as water, someone walking the plank, or a nearby island with buried treasure.
Keep in mind, though, that not all pirate ship model kits can be staged. If that’s your goal, look for a model that can.
How much you can expect to spend on a pirate model ship
The average price of a model pirate ship depends on its intricacy, manufacturer and construction parts. An entry-level kit retails for $15-$20, while a complex ship sells for $30-$40.
Pirate model ship FAQ
Do you need glue to put a pirate model ship together?
A. While some kits require glue, a shift in model-building techniques has reduced the need for adhesives. Most pirate-ship kits have interlocking parts, so no glue or soldering is needed.
How long does it take to assemble a pirate model ship?
A. That depends on the model’s complexity. In general, when you follow the instructions for a ship that clicks together, it should take around 6 or 7 hours to complete.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A trial opened Monday in Florida’s opioid epidemic lawsuit against the Walgreens pharmacy chain, which state officials accuse of prioritizing profits over health by improperly dispensing millions of powerful painkillers that caused tens of thousands of deaths.
The trial, in Pasco County north of Tampa, comes after other defendants in the Florida lawsuit including the CVS drug store chain settled for an estimated $870 million. The state could seek similar massive damages from Walgreens in the jury trial expected to last a few weeks.
OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma has a tentative nationwide deal that includes $6 billion in cash from members of the Sackler family who own the company. In all, settlements, civil and criminal penalties around the country since 2007 have totaled over $45 billion, according to an Associated Press tally.
In Florida, the state’s case hinges on accusations that as Walgreens dispensed more than 4.3 billion total opioid pills in Florida from May 2006 to June 2021, more than half contained one or more easily recognized red flags for abuse, fraud and addiction that the company should have noticed and acted upon.
“The evidence will show Walgreens knowingly profited from the opioid crisis,” said attorney Jim Webster for the state in an opening statement, which was attended by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody. “Walgreens wasn’t just greedy. It was fueling the opioid crisis that was killing people.”
Walgreens is based in Deerfield, Illinois, and operates more than 9,000 stores in all 50 states, according to the company website. About 820 of those locations are in Florida.
Walgreens attorney Steve Derringer told jurors they should focus on how manufacturers such as Purdue Pharma misled pharmacies on opioid addictive properties. He also noted that Florida did little as the opioid epidemic arose, particularly the predatory “pill mills” that proliferated in the state before a crackdown finally ended them.
“Walgreens had nothing to do with any of that,” Derringer said in his opening statement. “They (drug makers) caused this epidemic by misrepresenting the risks and benefits to pharmacies.”
The opioid epidemic has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. over the past two decades, counting those from prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and generic oxycodone as well as illicit drugs such as heroin and illegally produced fentanyl.
In Florida, Webster said, more than 39,000 Floridians died from opioid abuse or related problems between 1999 and 2020. Walgreens, he said, sold about one of every four opioids in the state over a similar time span often under questionable circumstances, such as a shady doctor, fake prescriptions or huge amounts of drugs obviously far in excess of what was necessary for a given patient.
“Walgreens was the last line of defense,” Webster said. “Walgreens failed its duty to investigate suspicious prescriptions.”
Florida has spent some $14 billion over the last 20 years for multiple opioid-related costs, ranging from criminal justice to drug rehabilitation for addicts to treatment for opioid-addicted infants, Webster said. The state will seek billions of dollars in damages in the Walgreens case.
In the same case, Moody said CVS Health Corp. and CVS Pharmacy Inc. will pay the state $484 million. Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. agreed to pay $195 million and Allergan PLC more than $134 million.
Florida has previously obtained millions of dollars in opioid settlements involving McKesson Corp., Cardinal Health Inc., Johnson & Johnson Inc. and AmerisourceBergen Corp.

Which Gaggia espresso machine is best?
If you’re an espresso aficionado who wants to brew their own barista-quality drinks at home, a Gaggia espresso machine is worth the investment.
These Italian-made automatic machines can brew a variety of drinks at the push of a button. They are known for their strong technology, commercial quality and top-tier customer service.
The Gaggia Anima Prestige is the best of Gaggia’s offerings for the most popular drink settings, ease of use and competitive pricing.
What to know before you buy a Gaggia espresso machine
The key factors to look for when shopping for a Gaggia espresso machine are the type of machine, the various drink settings, ease of use and maintenance requirements.
Semi-automatic vs. automatic espresso machines
Espresso machines from Gaggia are either semi-automatic or fully automatic. Automatic machines will grind your coffee beans for you and handle the brewing process internally. If you use a semi-automatic machine, you’ll want to use a high-quality burr grinder and tamper to get the best espresso possible.
Drink settings
Each machine offers a variety of drink settings and options. Most importantly, they all let you pull a high-quality single or double shot of espresso. Beyond espresso, some models offer up to six other drink varieties. Many Gaggia machines also have programmable buttons so you can schedule and save your favorite drink settings to brew at a predetermined time.
Ease of use
Gaggia prides itself on delivering commercial quality espresso to the consumer with easy-to-use technology. The buttons and interfaces on all their machines are straightforward and always clearly labeled. Whether you’re using an LED screen or simple switch buttons, it won’t take long to learn how to brew a delicious espresso with these home espresso machines. Additional features are typically easily accessible, such as the water reservoir, bean hopper and milk frother.
Maintenance
To keep your machine running smoothly, Gaggia recommends you descale and clean it about every two months if you use it regularly. The automatic models will include a light to alert you when it’s time to clean, and may even have an automatic cleaning mode. If not, you need to purchase a specific descaling solution from Gaggia.
Replacing the water filters regularly will also help prevent mineral buildup over time, extending the time you can brew between cleaning cycles.
What to look for in a quality Gaggia espresso machine
All Gaggia espresso machines offer a commercial quality experience, though some make it both accessible and high quality. These are the main features that set the best Gaggia machines apart from the rest of their models.
Milk frother
If you’re someone who enjoys a latte over a shot of espresso, having a milk frother will come in handy. Some semi-automatic models come with a steam wand, while other fully automatic models have a milk vessel and frother attached. The automatic versions will come with a higher price tag, but it may be worth it if you plan to brew espresso drinks with milk regularly.
Grind type
Coffee connoisseurs know that the grounds have a big influence on how the coffee turns out. Semi-automatic machines generally won’t have a built-in grinder, so you’ll need to grind your own beans before you’re ready to brew.
Coffee enthusiasts likely know that a high-quality burr grinder offers the fastest, quietest and most consistent grind.
Automatic models will include a grinder, and also allow you to add grounds manually. If the grinder is built-in, check if you can adjust the grind settings based on the type of coffee you’re brewing.
Accessories
Additional features help to make the entire experience easier from start to finish. Machines with an adjustable drip tray allow you to pour into different cup sizes while protecting your countertop from drips. An attached milk carafe makes it easier to prep and steam your milk. Easy-to-remove water reservoirs and water filters help speed up the refill and cleaning process.
How much you can expect to spend on a Gaggia espresso machine
A Gaggia espresso machine costs between $450-$2,000 depending on how many additional features and functions it has.
Gaggia espresso machine FAQ
Can I make a regular cup of coffee with a Gaggia espresso machine?
A. Gaggia espresso machines specialize in brewing espresso and crafting espresso-based drinks. That said, they do offer some completely automatic models that include the option to brew regular coffee. If you want your espresso machine to pull double duty, you’ll want to look for one that allows you to customize your grinder settings and select a larger cup size.

Australia’s limited-overs captain, Aaron Finch, believes that Pakistan’s all-format captain, Babar Azam, and former Indian captain, Virat Kohli, have the best cover drives in world cricket.
Both Babar and Kohli are widely regarded as two of the finest players in cricket currently and their amazing technique and flamboyant style have won their millions of fans. The two have often been compared for possessing the best cover drive in cricket, an opinion shared by Finch as well.
Finch revealed his favorite cover drivers in the world in a question and answer session on Twitter. Finch took over the official account of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise to engage with the fans of the team.
A cricket fan asked Finch about who he thinks plays the best cover drive in the world, to which Finch responded with the names of the two brilliant batters. Finch stated that it is an absolute treat to watch both these guys play the cover drive.

Data reveals the UK's most popular museums
Whether it’s a snap of you at the top of an impressive staircase or gazing at an iconic painting, art museums make the ideal backdrop for the perfect Instagram post. But which ones are the best locations in the UK?
New research from SINGULART has now revealed which art museums and galleries have been Instagrammed the most across the UK:
The UK's most popular museums
Whether you’re interested in gazing at a famous Monet or Van Gogh, or contemporary art and fashion is more your thing, London is home to an awry of galleries and museums to explore with many of them featuring in the top 12.
Outside of the capital, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park revealed to be one of the most Instagrammed sites, home to a mixture of unique exhibitions including work by Damien Hirst.
Meanwhile, Tate Liverpool and the National Museum of Scotland, where a range of contemporary and classical artworks can be found, also make an appearance on the list.
Commenting on the research, Marion Sailhen, Chief Curator at SINGULART, says “After more than 18 months of lockdowns and restrictions across the nation, it’s understandable that many of us are eager to get out and explore Britain’s many art museums and galleries.
“The report reveals just how many amazing sites there are to visit in London, an infamous hotspot of art and culture, however there are also some entrants to our list that sit outside the capital, revealing just how much there is to explore.”
To see how the UK’s most Instagrammed museums compare to those in the U.S, see our recent report here: https://www.singulart.com/landing/en/most-instagrammable-museums

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico election regulators are resisting efforts by a conservative-backed foundation to post statewide voter registration information on a public website where it can be searched by names or addresses to view party affiliations and past participation in elections.
The Voter Reference Foundation, led by Republican former Senate candidate Doug Truax of Illinois, announced in December that it would add registered New Mexico voters to its website database VoteRef.com that has expanded since the 2020 election and now includes voter rolls from at least 20 states.
That move has prompted calls for a state investigation into possible misuse of election records and a pre-emptive lawsuit by Voter Reference Foundation to ensure its plans to publish the details about New Mexico voters.
The foundation has said its goal is to usher in a “new era of American election transparency.”
But New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver said in an interview Monday that the foundation's efforts violate state law in New Mexico that restricts the use of voter registration data to political campaigning or noncommercial government purposes.
“This is an overtly political purpose and not necessarily towards a particular campaign and in the government interest," Toulouse Oliver said. "Their purpose is to intimidate voters and make folks become concerned about the security of their information, to potentially cause voters to de-register and not participate in our process.”
Toulose Oliver in December referred the group's effort for possible prosecution to the state attorney general. Her office traced voter registration data used by Voter Reference Foundation to a person who paid about $5,400 for access on the condition that the information would be used only for governmental, election, research and campaign purposes.
In its March lawsuit, Voter Reference Foundation argued that New Mexico's restrictions on voter registration data violate free-speech guarantees of the U.S. Constitution.
The foundation said its “election purposes are to increase voter participation and provide transparency regarding New Mexico elections, both of which strengthen election integrity.”
The foundation's website highlights discrepancies in various states between the number of people listed as having voted on registration rolls and the number of ballots cast according to certified election results.
Election officials have described the methodology as flawed, noting that discrepancies likely surface for legitimate reasons when an election result is compared to state voting registration rolls that are continually updated as people change their addresses, enter and leave the state or die.
A preliminary hearing on the case was scheduled for Tuesday in federal court in Albuquerque.
Open Secrets, a nonpartisan group that tracks political spending, has linked the Voter Reference Foundation to political groups supported by Republican political financing megadonor Richard Uihlein.
Toulouse and Attorney General Hector Balderas have warned residents of Otero County in southern New Mexico to be wary of intrusive questions and potential intimidation by door-to-door canvassers linked to a review of the 2020 election that was authorized by the Republican-led county commission through a private company.
Toulouse Oliver said that authorities are probing whether the contractor improperly obtained bulk voter records through a third party that she did not identify.

Making your first $100 online is easy.
Actually that’s not quite true – actually earning your first $100 online
IS pretty easy…and what I’m going to show you in this book makes it
easier.;
What’s hard is believing you can do it, and sticking with the method.
Once you’ve made $100 then replicating the system is easy. You know
you can do it, your sub-conscious belief system kicks into place and
before you know it, pulling in $100 daily will be a pretty simple matter.
It’s that first step that takes some doing.
So much so that I think it’s easier to make $1000, $10,000 or $100,000
online that it is to make $100.
Take that first step, jump that first hurdle and you’ll never look back.
The best, simplest and easiest way to start is selling other people’s
products as an affiliate. There’s very little risk, the setting up is quite
straightforward with a little help (that’s what this book is for) and the
results usually speak for themselves.
So let’s start with the first $100...

Target announces dates for its car seat trade-in recycling program
(Gray News) - Target has announced when people can trade in their old, expired or damaged car seats for a discount on new items.
The retailer announced its next car seat trade-in promotion will take place from April 18-30.
People can bring the car seats to a Target location, and in return, they can claim a 20% discount online or on the Target app toward a car seat, stroller or other baby items.
The coupon is valid through May 14.
The materials from the car seats traded in are recycled, and Target has received 1.7 million of them since 2016.
Target works with Waste Management to recycle the items. The retail giant said it has recycled 25.4 million pounds of car seat materials since the promotion began.

We see Apple leaks almost every day, but it's rare to see them come from Apple itself. Every now and again the company might slip mention of an as-yet-unreleased product into a software beta or website document – and that's exactly what's happened here.
A swiftly deleted new support document appeared on the Apple website this week, referring to an unreleased 35W dual-port USB charger. Such a device could be capable of fast-charging multiple Apple devices – and mean creatives will have to lug around one less power adapter. (In the market for new gear? Check out the best Apple deals available now.)
According to MacRumors (opens in new tab), the support document read, "Use the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter and a USB-C cable (not included) to charge your device. Connect a USB-C cable to either port on the power adapter, extend the electrical prongs (if necessary), then plug the power adapter firmly into the power outlet."
As of now, Apple doesn't sell a dual power adapter (except for the MagSafe Duo, which is limited to charging the iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods). For creatives on the go, who need to power multiple devices like a MacBook and iPad, the 35W dual adapter could become an essential part of their setup.
Concept artists have already imagined what the device will look like in 3D renders allegedly based on leaked images of it. While hardly an earth-shattering design (this thing isn't exactly designed to be stared at), it looks pretty smart with those folding prongs.
Time will tell if Apple is indeed planning to release a dual charger, but one thing's for sure – it probably won't come cheap. And it probably won't even come with a USB-C cable. Still, if you're a creative with multiple devices to juice up, this thing could be a major convenience. Speaking of creativity, the new Mac Studio is about as powerful as desktops come – check out today's best deals below.

In the ongoing hearing of the case related to the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque dispute of Varanasi, the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday ordered the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board to present on record all the documentary evidence pertaining to State surveys wherein allegedly the property was declared as waqf property after advocate Rastogi argued that Aurangzeb had no rights over said land and that the property belonged to Lord Vishveshwar.
Advocate Rastogi, the appointed next friend of Lord Vishweshwar noted that the required evidence to prove that the land belongs to Lord Vishweshar could be procured only through an ASI survey. He said that the property was always a Hindu property as the land belongs to ‘swayambhu’ (self-manifested) Lord Vishweshwar and Aurangzeb had no right to acquire the land.
Rastogi continues his argument and says that the property was always a Hindu property as the land belongs to ‘swayambhu’ (self-manifested) Lord Vishweshwar and #Aurangzeb had no right to acquire the land. #kashi #mosque #temple #Varanasi #kashivishwanath
— LawBeat (@LawBeatInd) April 12, 2022
According to historical accounts, in 1669, Aurangzeb had ordered the demolition of the Vishveshwar temple and commissioned the construction of the Gyanvapi mosque.
Rastogi during the hearing pointed out that the same property was registered as waqf property on February 26, 1944, under three different laws -the Waqf Act of 1936, Waqf Act, of 1954, and the Uttar Pradesh Muslim Waqf Act, 1960. Meanwhile, Advocate Punit Kumar Gupta appearing for the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board mentioned that the old Acts were amended from time to time and the renewal of registration was done accordingly.
Before the bench of Justice Prakash Padia, Advocate Rastogi further pressed the argument that an archaeological survey of the land in question is necessary as the evidence of an ancient temple, which was razed by the Mughal ruler, lies beneath the existing mosque structure. He referred to the Ramjanmabhoomi case and said that in the instant matter too, the evidence could be recovered only from beneath the mosque structure.
Rastogi further submits that to prove that the land belongs to Lord Vishweshar, the needed evidence can be procured only through an ASI survey. #kashi #mosque #temple #Varanasi #kashivishwanath
— LawBeat (@LawBeatInd) April 12, 2022
The Allahabad HC on March 25 had decided to hold regular hearings in the cases related to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi mosque dispute of Varanasi starting March 29. The order was passed by the bench of Justice Prakash Padia while hearing a petition filed by the Anjuman Intazamia Masazid, Varanasi, last year seeking a stay on the proceedings. The Anjuman Intazamia Masazid had also filed applications challenging the maintainability of the civil suit pending before the lower court.
A plea was filed before the Varanasi local court in 1991 by the Ancient Idol of Swayambhu Lord Vishweshwar and 5 others seeking removal of the Gyanvapi Mosque and return of the land to the Hindus. Notably, the suit had already been stayed by the high court, including the lower court order that had directed the Archaeological Survey of India(ASI) to survey the mosque complex.
The Allahabad HC in September 2021 had also held that the lower court should wait for the verdict in the petitions before the High Court and refrain from proceeding further in the matter until the judgement is delivered. The Gyanvapi Mosque is located in the Kashi Vishwanath temple complex. Hindus believe that Vishveshwara still sits in the disputed complex. The Court has adjourned the hearing till April 29.

- The Australian dollar found support around 0.7400 and is trimming four-day losses.
- Geopolitics, US mixed inflation report, and falling US bond yields lifted the AUD/USD.
- AUD/USD Price Forecast: After reclaiming the 0.7441, opened the door for a re-test of 0.7500.
AUD/USD snaps four days of consecutive losses, advances some 0.91% in the North American session amidst a mixed market mood, courtesy of geopolitics jitters, elevated inflation, high US T-bond yields, and mixed economic data. At the time of writing, the AUD/USD is trading at 0.7491.
Global equities have traded mixed. Europen stocks drop, contrarily to US equities rising, as US inflation figures were reported. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March in the US rose to 8.5% y/y, higher than the 8.4% expected, a level last seen in 1981. Meanwhile, the so-called Core CPI increased by 6.5%, lower than the 6.7% y/y foreseen, a signal that inflation could be peaking, as shown by monthly figures.
The monthly readings missed expectations, with CPI expanding by 1.2%, higher than the 1% estimations, while Core CPI came at 0.3%, lower than the 0.6%. The market’s initial reaction was that the greenback fell below the 100.000 mark, US Treasuries edged lower and US stocks rallied, as investors assessed that March’s reading could be the peak of US inflation.
Meanwhile, the AUD/USD lifted from 0.7460s to the 0.7490 area, as the appetite for riskier assets, increased.
Elsewhere, money market futures keep their aggressive bets that the Federal Reserve would hike 0.50% at its next meeting. The odds show a 94% chance that the Federal Reserve would lift the Federal Funds Rate (FFR) to 1% by May.
The Australian docket featured the NAB Business Confidence, which came at 16, higher than its previous reading, while Business Conditions also improved, as the index rose by 18 vs. 9 on the last figure.
AUD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The AUD/USD fell below March 7 0.7441 daily high and achieved a daily close around 0.7414, which would expose the pair to the 0.7400-41 area. However, mixed US economic data lifted the Aussie above the former and is aiming towards the 0.7500 mark, so the AUD/USD bias remains upwards.
The AUD/USD first resistance would be 0.7500. Once cleared, the next resistance would be the 0.7540-55 area, the confluence of March 28 and October 2021 cycle highs, followed by the 0.7600 mark.

EUR/USD stuggles to hold above 1.0900
EUR/USD has staged a rebound as the greenback lost interest after the US inflation data, which showed that the Core CPI rose at a slightly softer pace than expected in March. The pair, however, lost its recovery momentum after rising above 1.0900 and erased its daily gains.
GBP/USD clings to modest recovery gains near 1.3050
GBP/USD has gained traction and climbed to the 1.3050 area with the immediate reaction to the US inflation figures. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Tuesday that the Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) edged higher to 6.5% in March vs 6.6% expected.
Gold spikes to fresh multi-week high, above $1,970 post-US CPI
A combination of supporting factors pushed spot gold to a fresh multi-week high on Tuesday. The US CPI accelerated to 8.5% and boosted the metal’s appeal as a hedge against inflation. Retreating US bond yields prompted some USD profit-taking and further extended support.

Influential panel raises doubts on youth suicide screening
An influential U.S. group is raising doubts about routine suicide screening for children and teens even as others call for urgent attention to youth mental health.
In draft guidance posted Tuesday, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said there’s not enough evidence to recommend routinely screening kids who show no obvious signs of being suicidal. The document is open for public comment until May 9, and opposing voices are already weighing in.
Many experts agree with the group’s assessment that more research is urgently needed but argue that there’s no evidence that screening — asking kids if they’ve ever considered or attempted suicide — could cause harm.
“In the meantime, what are you going to do with this mental health crisis? You cannot turn a blind eye,’’ said psychologist Lisa Horowitz of the National Institute of Mental Health.
The task force is an independent group of doctors and other experts that creates guidelines for prevention services in primary care settings, based on an analysis of research. The group’s final recommendations often mirror its draft guidance. Insurance coverage decisions are often based on its advice.
The draft guidance pertains to screening in pediatricians’ offices and similar settings for kids up to age 18.
In 2020, suicide was the second-leading cause of death for ages 10 to 14, and the third leading cause for ages 15 to 19, according to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Abundant reports suggest kids’ mental health has suffered during the pandemic, with troubling numbers of suicide attempts and increases in depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other signs of distress.
“Certainly, we all share the same concern about wanting to minimize this risk for young people and to intervene effectively so that we can prevent these consequences,’’ said task force member Martha Kubik, a professor of nursing at George Mason University. But she said suicide screening in kids who aren’t obviously troubled could lead to stigma and needless anxiety.
The task force’s draft document recommends anxiety screening for ages 8 to 18, and echoes its previous advice for depression screening starting at age 12. Kubik said depression screening may catch some suicidal kids.
Suicide prevention experts say there’s a common misconception that asking kids about suicide will plant the idea in their minds. They argue that open conversations will reduce suicide stigma and let kids know parents and trusted adults care about their wellbeing.
“This report may actually set the field back,’’ said Dr. Christine Moutier of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Just last month, the foundation and the American Academy of Pediatrics backed suicide screening for ages 12 and up, and for kids aged 8 to 11 when there are concerns.
Last year, the pediatrics group and two others declared children’s health a national emergency worsened by the pandemic. And in January, the government issued updated Affordable Care Act preventive care guidelines that call for universal screening for suicide risk for ages 12 to 21.
The suicide of a 12-year-old Elkhart, Indiana, girl last month left her close-knit family reeling and wondering if they’d missed any signs. Rio Allred was a witty, bright-eyed seventh grader with a wicked laugh who loved books, sketching and video games.
They knew she was bothered by merciless bullying about her alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss. She developed it during the pandemic, shaved her head and only sometimes wore wigs or a hat. The family complained to school authorities and gave Rio a choice of transferring or home-schooling, but she wanted to stay put, said her mom, Nicole Ball.
“She put on such a brave face,” Ball said. “I never thought it would get to this point.”
The family talked openly about tough subjects including suicide, and Ball says Rio had recently gone to a school counselor, worried about one of her friends self-harming.
But Ball says she thinks routine suicide screening by “somebody that’s trained, on the outside looking in,’’ might pick up things kids don’t openly share, or signs that parents overlook.
The family has launched an anti-bullying campaign, and Ball says she’s sure Rio would approve.
“I always said she would change the world,’’ she said. “I hate that it’s this way.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sued credit company TransUnion and one of its long-time executives on Tuesday, alleging the company completely “disregarded” a previous order from five years ago to stop selling dubious credit-related products and marketing.
TransUnion entered into an agreement with the CFPB in 2017, agreeing to pay $13.9 million in restitution and $3 million in civil penalties, saying it would stop trying to sell customers credit monitoring subscription products and would provide an clear way for a customer to cancel a subscription if they no longer wanted it.
Instead of taking actions to stop these practices, the CFPB alleges that TransUnion executive John Danaher looked for ways to keep the subscription revenues flowing. This included keeping a vague “checkbox” on the TransUnion website that signed customers up for products that they may not have wanted. This often happened when a customer used annualcreditreport.com, the Federal Government's portal that gives every American access to their credit report from each of the bureaus free once a year.
The CFPB says that roughly 18% of TransUnion's annual revenue came from these services, which means it would have been a substantial hit to the Chicago company's bottom line if it were to stop the program entirely.
“TransUnion is an out-of-control repeat offender that believes it is above the law,” CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement. “I am concerned that TransUnion’s leadership is either unwilling or incapable of operating its businesses lawfully.”
TransUnion did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Donald Trump endorses incumbent U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas for Congress
Rep. Frank Lucas captured the endorsement of former U.S. President Donald Trump Monday for Oklahoma’s 3rd Congressional District.
Lucas, R-Cheyenne, is only the second Oklahoma official to be endorsed by Trump in the 2022 election cycle. He endorsed Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt in March.
“Frank is working hard to grow our economy, encourage innovation, promote American farmers, defend the Second Amendment, and support our military and vets,” said Trump’s endorsement statement. “Frank Lucas has my complete and total endorsement!”
Lucas is the incumbent of the 3rd Congressional District. He was elected to Congress in 1994 and is the longest-serving House member in Oklahoma’s congressional delegation.
Wade Burleson, a retired pastor at Emmanuel Enid and former head of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, and state Rep. Sean Roberts have announced plans to challenge Lucas in the GOP primary.
Candidate filing begins Wednesday and runs through Friday. Primaries are scheduled for June 28.
The 3rd District represents much of rural Oklahoma, including the Panhandle, southwest and northwest parts of the state, as well as a northern portion of Tulsa.
During last year’s redistricting, the Oklahoma Legislature moved the 3rd District’s boundaries deeper into some Democratic parts of Oklahoma City. The district now includes parts of downtown, the Plaza District and Will Rogers World Airport, which were moved from the 5th Congressional District.

Multiple animals were removed from Loving Companions Animal Rescue Center on Saturday after Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Wildlife Troopers and Fairbanks North Star Borough Animal Control responded to the nonprofit, no-kill rescue in North Pole over reports of animal neglect. Not all of the animals were removed, however, and Loving Companions — run by Donna Buck-Davis — is currently still in operation.
Troopers confirmed that they received a report of neglect at Loving Companions, and responded to the shelter on Saturday. No arrests have been made, no citations have been issued and the investigation is ongoing, according to troopers. “At this time we do not have any further information,” public information officer Logan Stolpe said.
Buck-Davis confirmed that the shelter is still open, but had no further comment.
Andrea Goodreau, who until recently served on the Loving Companions Board of Directors, contacted law enforcement after she was concerned about the welfare of animals in the shelter. According to Goodreau, there were sick animals (including a very sick boxer dog) as well as a wild hare, which is illegal to possess without a license.
The sick boxer was left in an extremely messy pen without water, despite multiple volunteers asking Buck-Davis to provide treatment for it. “I have never seen a dog look so bad in my life,” Goodreau said. “It was unbelievable.”
The dog has since been seized and is in protective custody. A cat and the wild hare were also removed on Saturday, Goodreau said. Wildlife troopers released the hare back into the wild, according to a statement from troopers.
In the weeks leading up to her call to law enforcement, Goodreau said she received multiple complaints from volunteers about conditions in the shelter. Goodreau explained that Buck-Davis consistently ignored suggestions and complaints from volunteers. “She thought she was untouchable,” Goodreau said.
The main complaints were that conditions in the shelter were unsanitary and overcrowded; a potentially lethal combination. Additionally, there was no protocol for what to do with the sick animals that were brought in. According to Goodreau, Buck-Davis did not give animals adequate medical treatment. As a result, many deteriorated under her care and some eventually died. In the roughly year and a half she was there, “I can’t tell you how many dogs have died,” Goodreau explained.
Since there was inadequate space to house sick animals, disease (including the deadly Parvovirus) spread widely within the shelter. Sick animals were then sometimes adopted out, Goodreau said.
“It could all be avoided if she just followed proper protocol, but she refuses to do it,” said Goodreau. “None of this is OK,” she added.
The complaints against Loving Companions and Buck-Davis have been building for years. Last year, a petition circulated to regulate non-profit shelters in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, which was created specifically in response to Loving Companions.
Sarah Maxwell, who started the petition, cited many of the same issues that Goodreau pointed out. The petition accused Loving Companions of abusing and neglecting animals, citing unsanitary and overcrowded kennels as well as sick and malnourished cats and dogs that were not receiving proper care. “It’s just really dirty and really inhumane,” Maxwell said in an interview.
She explained that she started the petition in order to prompt local governments to do something about the organization. The petition would require that all Borough shelters provide food, water and shelter as well as a “clean and sanitary environment and plenty of space.”
The petition garnered over 75,00 signatures and continues to receive support. “If the majority of the community is saying there’s something wrong [then] there’s something wrong with this shelter,” Maxwell said. “Why would someone lie about this?”

To get the most out of the "college experience," students are expected to have a social life with extracurriculars while still maintaining good grades. There is no perfect way to find the answer to the seemingly impossible task of balancing coursework and extracurriculars, but here are some tips to keep a mindful and healthy balance:
- Set up a Schedule
Setting aside dedicated times during the week to study and do homework can help you allocate time for extracurriculars as schoolwork comes first.
2. Adequate rest
Sleep is necessary for students to be prepared, refreshed and alert for anything the next day may bring, whether that is extracurriculars or course work.
3. Stay Hydrated
Students who do not stay hydrated may face reduced mental function and learning ability in classes. This can lead to tiredness and fatigue. Staying hydrated combats these effects and gets students ready for their next activity through their long days.
4. Treat yourself
Even though it is important to strive for the perfect balance, it won't be close to being achievable if students stretch themselves too thin. Students should treat themselves to something that makes them happy, like a cup of coffee or a relaxation day, so they can conquer the balancing act.
