What is spoofing in Pokémon GO?
The COVID-19 epidemic has been difficult for everyone in the world. But it has terribly affected the community of Pokémon GO. Without being able to exit, many players were frustrated and many looked for a way to play without moving or pretending to be in another location. So, is it possible to play Pokémon GO in a different location than where we are? Well, it is possible, this is what is known as spoofing.
What is spoofing?
- Spoofing is the act of tricking your phone’s GPS into processing another location in the world. This is done through a VPN and players do it to help get specific items at PokéStops or fight certain gyms. And, especially during the height of quarantine, it was hard to get anywhere, making spoofing a necessity to keep playing Pokémon GO.
- The truth is that if you do spoofing, you run the risk of being banned from Pokémon GO if you get caught. However, if the trainer is not caught, he will be able to continue as usual. That said, Pokémon GO can track a player’s location if they check their IP address on the phone, so if you do spoof, do it only out of necessity, as you risk getting banned.
- Impersonation is a technique frowned upon by some trainers, although it is a good technique for those who live in disadvantaged areas where strong Pokémon cannot be caught.

If you rewind the clock to February of this year, Deel, a startup that helps customers hire in other countries, announced that it had built the ability to pay workers in crypto. Regardless of your view on the financial intelligence of such a move, TechCrunch covered the news because we’re keeping tabs on Deel.
Why? Because the former startup has posted rapid historical growth, with CEO Alex Bouaziz sharing in December 2021 that it had scaled to $50 million in self-described annual recurring revenue, or ARR. The executive’s tweet indicated that Deel had started the year with around $4 million worth of ARR.
Recall that the company raised $425 million at a $5.5 billion valuation last October.
Flash forward to today: Deel shared that it crossed the $100 million ARR threshold, a key moment for any technology upstart as it implies that it has reached public-market scale — and is therefore no longer a startup by any meaning of the word.
Deel’s data point regarding its historical growth comes on the heels of Firstbase, a startup that helps companies procure and provide hardware and other remote-work needs to far-flung employees, raising $50 million after posting something like 16x revenue growth since last April.
Supporting remote workers is big business, it appears.
To dive into the Deel news, TechCrunch took a scratch at the company’s pricing page to better understand its revenue milestone and asked the company a few clarifying questions. Answers were a bit vague, but we can get a little work done. Let’s talk the deal with Deel.
Deel’s revenue growth
One way that startups like to brag is to take the Bessemer chart showing historical examples of startups rapidly scaling to $100 million in ARR over a short time frame. Here’s how Deel shared its own new milestone:
That got us curious.

NFTs Are Proof That Tax Season Can Always Get Worse
For everyone who bet big on last year’s NFT boom, Uncle Sam’s bill is coming due.
Ever since the NFT boom began last year, non-fungible tokens—the blockchain-linked digital files that can contain, well, anything—have escaped easy definition. After an artist working under the name Beeple sold a piece of NFT artwork for $69 million at auction last March, pieces as varied as concert tickets and pictures of ape heads started trading for sums that would fetch houses. One thing about NFTs is clear at this point: Vast quantities of money are changing hands in confusing, often ridiculous-seeming ways.
And that’s before you think about tax season. The IRS’s existing tax guidelines can be applied to various NFT-transaction scenarios, but none was crafted with NFTs in mind. That means tax experts of all stripes are now second-guessing which assets and transactions to report, and how. They’re doing their best to lay out rules of thumb, but all they really have are educated guesses. The wild-west philosophy of non-fungibles is coming back to bite the people who own them, and nobody with the power to provide clarity has much incentive to do so.
One of those owners is Ryan Roylance, a sales director in Chicago and an early NFT collector. He began with NBA Top Shot, a series of digital trading cards released directly by the basketball league, then graduated to more creator-driven collections, such as Psychedelics Anonymous and Creature World. Since last June, Roylance estimates, he’s bought some 100 NFTs, and sold roughly 15.
It’s been a gas. Only now, Roylance has to file his taxes, and he’s way out of his depth. “I know that profits are taxed as capital gains,” he told me in an email. “I know that the IRS guidelines say a purchase is a taxable event. And I know I am wildly unprepared for what that bill is going to be.”
Roylance’s predicament will be familiar to fellow NFT collectors, a cohort that propelled the digital assets from relative obscurity at the start of 2021 to an estimated $44 billion market by the year’s end. By April 18, this year’s extended tax deadline, every collector must somehow report their NFT dealings to the IRS according to a set of rules the agency never laid out, but is nonetheless enforcing. (The IRS did not respond to requests for comment.) A year ago, IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig told the Senate Finance Committee that NFTs might become vehicles for tax evasion. The subtext to collectors: Report those goods, or else. But as for how to do it, the IRS has been mum.
Put charitably, the situation is a mess. “It feels a lot like the fox is guarding the henhouse,” Zac McClure, a co-founder and the CEO of TokenTax, a tax-accounting firm and software provider that caters to cryptocurrency holders, told me. As McClure sees it, America’s bloated tax-prep sector—of which he acknowledges he is very much a part—benefits from ambiguous IRS guidance. The less people can figure out on their own, the more willing they are to pay for help. That, McClure says, is not lost on the biggest accounting firms, whose outsize influence on the financial-services sector extends all the way to how the tax code gets written. McClure suspects that, for them, the confusion over NFTs is a feature of the tax code, not a bug.
Then there’s the IRS itself, the woefully understaffed elephant in the room. “One of the only things politicians can agree on is to not fund the IRS,” McClure told me. The agency has been suffering budget cuts and personnel shortages for more than a decade, and thanks to COVID-related bottlenecks compounding already inefficient processes, it’s now mired in a massive backlog. Although this year’s tax season is well under way, the IRS is still working through an estimated millions of unprocessed returns left over from last year.
But even if the IRS had the capacity to overhaul the tax code, NFTs would likely be low on the agency’s list of priorities. “It’s usually when they want to shut something down that they’ll act on a more urgent basis,” Lawrence Zlatkin, the vice president of tax at the crypto marketplace Coinbase, told me. If the IRS was absolutely certain that NFTs were being used to create tax shelters on a massive scale, he said, that would spur quicker, more explicit rule-making. The IRS has blamed unpaid taxes on the crypto world, but it’s unclear whether fraud is happening on the blockchain any more than anywhere else. And even the IRS acknowledges that massive corporations and the über-rich drive the lion’s share of tax-evasion schemes, not casual traders in the cryptosphere.
The people with the power to make life easier for NFT collectors are also not generally the same group of people who own lots of NFTs. Of the 16 percent of Americans who say they have ever bought, traded, or used cryptocurrencies, the overwhelming majority are under the age of 50, with the highest concentration among 18-to-29-year-old men. The seasoned tax lawyers who are in a position to shape policy tend to be significantly older. On the whole, according to Zlatkin, they seem to be less than enthusiastic about crypto, let alone adjacent blockchain entities like NFTs.
Whether or not they’re fans, tax professionals generally understand that cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether function like any other commodity, and should therefore be taxed as such. “Currency” is a concept the financial sector knows how to work with. But unlike dollars and cents, NFTs are digital tokens that can represent almost anything: art, medical records, legal contracts, and so on. They occupy unfamiliar conceptual terrain.
These days, NFTs are mostly used as digital representations of artwork. As a result, the creation, sale, and purchase of an art NFT should mimic the taxation of any tangible artwork, Tony Tuths, the tax principal of alternative investments at KPMG, told me. For the creator who mints and sells an NFT, the sale would be ordinary taxable income, with the same asterisks (such as state sales tax and self-employment tax) that traditional artists have to deal with every tax season.
For NFT buyers, things get a bit more complicated. In Tuths’s interpretation of the tax code, buyers would have a taxable capital gain or loss on the crypto they used for the purchase. If the currency loses value after the point of sale, they can write off a loss. But if an NFT buyer made the purchase using crypto they bought at a lower cost than its current value, the IRS classifies spending it as a gain.
Figuring out how much an NFT is worth is even more complicated. Alex Roytenberg, a CPA and a co-author of The NFT Tax Guide, told me that an NFT’s estimated worth usually depends on a combination of factors: floor prices—NFT-speak for the lowest amount a person might pay for a particular token based on current market activity—plus the rarity of a given collection and, naturally, overall demand.
Tuths says that the gains and losses on an NFT, while not explicitly laid out by the IRS, should be estimated by the fair market value of what was paid in crypto. Roytenberg told me that this figure is determined by how much the cryptocurrency was worth when it was spent, not its value at the time of tax filing. If, further down the road, the buyer decided to sell the NFT, they would be required to report the sale as a capital gain or loss. As with the sale of any art investment, that capital gain or loss would be taxed as a collectible. “An NFT is simply a wrapper,” Tuths said. “The tax will follow the real-life object taxation, not the digital wrapper.”
Such a system would be straightforward enough, if only the IRS would confirm that it’s on board. For now, it’s a pain in the neck, though some collectors are optimistic that the confusion will prove short-lived.
“The tax worries will hopefully be a one time thing where I can be better prepared for next year,” Roylance said. Even after struggling to get square with the IRS, he has no regrets about diving five figures deep into the NFT space. He feels at home in his community of fellow collectors, and is prepared to pay the taxman whatever he must.

It was a tale of two finales over the weekend as “Severance” concluded its first season with one helluva cliffhanger and “Killing Eve” finished its four-season run with, um, quite a series finale. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the drama field and these two shows that look like they’re on the opposite trajectory at the Emmys.
“Killing Eve’s” fourth and final season has underwhelmed fans, but perhaps no one was ready for what the series finale — specifically its final moments — had in store. With a 2.6 rating on IMDb as of press time, it’s the most hated series finale this side of “Dexter” and “Game of Thrones.” But that still doesn’t mean it can’t get some Emmy nominations, especially for stars Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh. Can they survive the poor reception even if the show fails to make the Best Drama Series cut?
SEE Emmy Experts slugfest: Our very chaotic first set of 2022 predictions
On the other hand, the Season 1 finale of “Severance” has blown almost everyone’s mind. A drama series nomination — a first for an Apple TV+ show — seems like a safe bet now, but how many actors can it get in? Adam Scott and Britt Lower will be in lead, while Patricia Arquette, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken and Jen Tullock will be in supporting. And Ben Stiller is pretty much a lock for a directing nom.
Elsewhere, we discuss “Stranger Things'” long-awaited return, “Yellowjackets” adults-only lead strategy, and why TV shows are so long now.

Fentanyl behind doubling of teen overdose deaths over past decade, study says
Published: Apr. 12, 2022 at 2:44 PM EDT|Updated: 54 minutes ago
(CNN) – More and more teens are overdosing on fentanyl, according to new research.
Adolescent drug overdose deaths doubled from 2010 to 2021, according to a study published Tuesday in the Medical Journal JAMA.
The research says there were about 500 adolescent overdose deaths in 2010 and more than 1,100 in 2021.
Fentanyl was involved in more than 75% of deaths in 2021.
Researchers say the increase isn’t because more teens are using drugs. It’s because drug use is becoming more dangerous.
Annual drug overdose deaths for all ages have reached record highs in the U.S. recently.

The Great Resignation
Summary
- In 2021 the number of workers who quit their jobs surged way beyond record levels.
- The factors that caused this phenomenon and how sustainable they are is discussed.
- The bigger issue remains wage inflation.
"Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more"
From Take this job and shove it by Johnny Paycheck
Background
Who needs unions? Workers apparently don’t. They are taking matters into their own hands instead of relying on a group to help them.
Job resignations in 2021 were well above previous levels ever seen in the U.S. workforce, as shown in the two charts below.
Source: The Daily Shot
On January 4, 2022, the Bureau of U.S. Labor Statistics released the November quits rate. It stated the following. “The number of quits increased in November to a series high 4.5 million (+370,000). The quits rate increased to 3.0 percent, matching the series high in September. Quits increased in several industries with the largest increases in accommodation and food services (+159,000); health care and social assistance (+52,000); and transportation, warehousing, and utilities (+33,000). “
This release is very telling for two reasons. First it shows an acceleration of the quits rate. A 3.0% quit rate is 36% annualized and this is the second time in three months 3.0% was reached. That is way up from the 26% (2021 through October) and even more above historical levels. The second thing is where the quits are. They are more in lower paying jobs. This is a major change from the norm where competition was higher for higher paying workers.

Many economists and policymakers have struggled to explain this phenomenon. But if you drill down, it’s not that difficult. It was the result of a number of short term and longer term factors that have come together all at once.
Barron’s covered this topic last week in an interview with Anthony Klotz. This article will go beyond that one with more specifics on the factors behind the Great Resignation. The article will focus on the reasons for this phenomenon and how it may affect the economy. Ways employers can mitigate increased employee resignations will also be discussed. Finally the future trend will be projected.
Source: Daily Shot
Factors Behind the Great Resignation
There are a number of factors that have led to the surge in employee quits. The majority are temporary factors, though at least four appear to be longer term. These factors are discussed below.
1. Pent up demand – Many couldn’t quit during the depths of the pandemic in the Spring and Summer of 2020. As shown in the chart below, the unemployment rate shot up to 14.8% in record time. This was not a time to leave the job you had. People who would normally have quit then waited until 2021.
2. Job openings elsewhere – As shown in the chart below, job openings have gone through the roof. They are now well above historical levels and even above the number of unemployed workers. That means more choice than ever for workers. That also means much more recruiting by employers and more pay by employers to entice the workers they need. All of that leads to more job switching.
Source: The Daily Shot
3. Burnout – Clearly some of the resignations were due to burnout of frontline workers. These especially include healthcare workers and caregivers impacted by Covid. It also includes transportation and logistics workers who have been slammed. Another group is police who have faced changing rules and attitudes.
4. Wage increases elsewhere – Last September I wrote an article on wage inflation titled "Get Ready For Sustained Wage Inflation". Massive fiscal and monetary stimulus started this wage inflation cycle. However, we are facing a perfect storm of more sustainable demographic factors which will impact wages for years to come. They are as follows.
* Baby boomer retirements
* Massive U.S. corporate growth (biggest reason)
* Wealth accumulation
* Less immigration
* Innovation
* Minimum wage increases
* Workers core values becoming more important
* Rapidly declining unemployment rate
* Once started, wage inflation is hard to stop
* An already historically low unemployment rate of 4.2%
Please see the linked article for much more detail on each of these.
5. Time to reflect – Millions of people were sitting at home in 2020 during working hours. Millions more were at home working remotely in 2021 and 2022. This gives all those people time to reflect on what they want to do with their lives.
6. Fiscal and monetary stimulus – The fiscal stimulus by the Federal government was unprecedented. On top of massive fiscal and monetary stimulus in 2020, a $2 trillion additional short term stimulus was approved in early 2021, despite the economy humming at that point. You may remember, there were almost no stocks hitting new lows in the beginning of 2021. I believe this last stimulus put the economy over the top and directly led to the supply chain and logistics delays and inflation we are facing now. It also increased demand for more labor.
7. Gains in the stock market and real estate – Since the end of 2019, both the stock market and residential real estate have had massive gains. The S&P 500 total returns were up 29% in 2021, 18% in 2020, and 31% in 2019. Home prices nationwide were up as much as 20% last year according to the Case-Schiller index shown below. In many markets that number was 40% or higher. Higher and middle income people are sitting on a lot more wealth than they had two years ago. Many have reached a level where they no longer need to work.
Source: The Daily Shot
8. Online Opportunities – There are numerous self-employment opportunities that did not exist five years ago. These include Uber, Lyft, and other delivery services. It includes the Fiverr website for those offering their services. It also includes AirBNB and other short term real estate rentals.
9. Starting new businesses – According to the Census Bureau more new business applications have been filed in the first nine months of 2021 than in any period on record. There were 1.4 million new business applications filed in that period, up from 1.14 million one year earlier and 987,000 two years earlier. Many of those new businesses are also hiring people in addition to the founders, magnifying the impact on the jobs market.
10. Early retirees – This one goes along with factor #7. More people have more wealth from stocks, real estate and stimulus allowing them to retire earlier than planned.
11. Baby boomers reaching retirement age – The front end of the Baby Boomer generation has reached 65 which by itself is leading to more workers leaving the work force. The Baby Boomer generation had much higher numbers than the Silent Generation before it.
12. Values – This is a newer category that will become more and more important whether you like it or not. Millennial and Generation Z workers want their employer’s values to align to their own. Companies doing good, reducing carbon emissions and treating employees well will increasingly draw workers from other companies.
13. Care Responsibilities – With more people sick, and more kids at home attending school remotely, someone needs to stay home to care for/watch them.
Of the above factors, most are shorter term. However, four are secular longer term trends. These include #2 more job openings, #4 wage inflation, #8 increased online opportunities and #11 baby boomers reaching retirement. That is important because it indicates an elevated quits rate will likely be with us for quite a while.
What Employers Can Do
There are still a number of ways employers can reduce resignations and draw the talent they need. These include technologies such as robotics and AI. A long term trend that will need to continue is outsourcing. Pretty much everything can be outsourced now including almost all parts of marketing, manufacturing, call center, accounting, legal, and R&D. As employees get harder to find they will need to provide more training to less qualified applicants and existing employees. Diversity becomes more important. Applicants they wouldn’t have looked at in the past must be considered. Allowing more remote work will allow companies to retain workers from out of area they couldn’t have gotten before. Probably the biggest inducement though will be old fashioned payola, more pay and more perks.
Takeaway
The companies most likely to be hurt are those with many lower paying jobs and those less able to pass on cost increases to their customers. Restaurants, especially fast food, seem particularly exposed.
I detailed in my prior article why I believe that wage inflation is here to stay. The numerous factors causing it are almost all longer term demographic factors. Many of the factors causing the big spike in resignations are shorter term, though four appear to be longer term. For this reason, I expect resignations to continue at a greater than historical rate, though just not at late 2021 levels.

The Prime Minister and Chancellor have both paid fines and apologised for attending Boris Johnson’s birthday bash in Downing Street during Covid restrictions.
Mr Johnson said it “did not occur” to him that the gathering in the Cabinet Room on June 19 2020 to mark his 56th birthday was a violation of coronavirus rules, but that he “now humbly accepts” he did breach Covid-19 laws.
Mr Sunak, meanwhile, said: “I deeply regret the frustration and anger caused and I am sorry.”
Carrie Johnson, the Prime Minister’s wife, was also issued with a fine which has been paid.
Scotland Yard, according to a statement published by No 10, said Mr Johnson had been fined because “on June 19 2020 at the Cabinet Room…. between 1400 and 1500” he had been part of “a gathering of two or more people indoors”, which was banned at the time.
The Prime Minister, speaking to broadcasters at Chequers, said he “fully respects” the outcome of the police investigation and that he accepted “in all sincerity that people had the right to expect better” from him.

NEW YORK (AP) — Many New Yorkers just want their city to feel orderly, functional and fun again after two years of plague and social disruption. Their new mayor, Eric Adams, has promised to deliver.
The question is, can the Democrat who pledged to bring back New York’s “swagger” gain momentum in the face of repeated setbacks?
Adams’ optimism remained high even as he marked his 100th day as mayor Sunday by going into quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19.
A hands-on politician and nightlife enthusiast, Adams, 61, caught the virus after a whirlwind week typical of his persona and time in office: He had attended the Gridiron dinner in Washington, gone to a New York gala, posed with Robert de Niro at a film festival, attended the Yankees opener and a slew of events in the state Capitol.
“I’m going to continue to try to be as visible as possible as we get through COVID and many of the other crises that we’re facing,” Adams said Monday, promising to resume his busy schedule after recovering from the virus.
In his first 100 days in office, Adams has projected an aggressive confidence as he’s implemented policies aimed at combating an image of New York City as hobbled by the pandemic and beset by rising crime.
He dropped many COVID-19 precautions and is reluctant to bring them back, even as virus cases have steadily risen.
He’s ordered homeless encampments removed from public spaces, despite complaints from activists that the sweeps are inhumane.
Over the objection of progressives, Adams, a former police captain, brought back an NYPD anti-gun unit disbanded by the previous mayor, saying that with better oversight it will shed its past reputation for usingexcessive force.
Critics say Adams is embracing the worst tendencies of previous mayors known for their heavy-handed approaches to policing and social services.
Adams says he doesn’t like chaos, as “Saturday Night Live” noted in his first days in office. Instead, he is seeking to harness the city’s tangly dynamism.
“That is what I think our failure is in our city … We have thrown up our hands and said this city is not manageable. That is just not true,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, prior to testing positive for COVID-19.
He said he starts every morning poring over a series of spreadsheets filled with data on his key initiatives.
When inspecting his efforts to clear tents and makeshift shelters set up by homeless people, Adams scrolls through hundreds of color-coded rows listing individual encampments reported to the city — some that the mayor has phoned in himself.
He checks to see if the entries are shaded blue by someone in his administration, indicating city workers have posted notices they’re about to clean the area. He checks to see that the blue entries are later turned yellow, coded as a “successful cleanup.” If too many days pass and the colors don’t change, he’ll make a call to find out why.
At a news conference last month, he said the city cleared 239 encampments in its first 12 days. Although the city didn’t offer data about how many people were living at the encampments, only five accepted offers to move to a shelter.
Adams said he thinks the number will grow, as it did with efforts to reach out to homeless people in the subway system.
The mayor also checks daily spreadsheets laying out data on crime, the city’s sprawling transit system, affordable and supportive housing units, and hires and promotions in his government.
He likened himself to an airline pilot who sits down and checks his instruments before taking off, calling the city a “complex piece of machinery.”
“You have to constantly inspect what you expect, or it’s suspect,” Adams said, using one of his favored catchphrases.
Adams, a former New York City police captain, state lawmaker and elected borough president of Brooklyn, had to deal with unrelenting crisesin his first month in office.
A fire ripped through a high-rise apartment building, killing 17 people; a baby was wounded by gunfire; two police officers were fatally shot while responding to a call; a woman was pushed to her death in front of a subway train by a stranger.
“Outside of 9/11, I don’t know if another mayor was just inundated with so much at one time,” Adams remarked.
Crime, which has risen in cities across the U.S., has become one of his chief concerns.
It’s by far the thorniest issue Adams took on, said Jon Reinish, a Democratic political strategist in New York City. But 100 days is still early, Reinish said, and a better barometer of progress would be a year into the administration.
“I think that he has navigated that well so far, but Rome wasn’t built in a day,” he said.
New York City’s elected public advocate Jumaane Williams, a progressive Democrat who serves as a city ombudsman, praised Adams for partnering with him on issues like food insecurity, Black maternal health and summer jobs for young people. But he said he’s concerned about too much emphasis on policing and not enough focus on mental health.
Adams, who is Black, points out that he spoke out about racist and unjust practices in the department while he was an officer. He says police can learn from the mistakes of the past while using new tools like body cameras to stay accountable — but the city also can’t go back to the days of high rates of violent crime.
“I know I don’t want to go back to the violence or the abuse. Some people only talk about not going back to the abuse,” he said.
Critics have also called Adams’ actions to clear homeless encampments short-sighted, especially when some people living on the street say they don’t feel safe in the city’s shelters and there’s not enough affordable housing to provide a long-term solution.
“It sounds to me like we’re doing the last thing first,” Williams said.
Adams contends it’s inhumane to accept that people sleep on the street, and defends his plan by pointing to to a city law guaranteeing a right to space in a shelter for any homeless person who needs it.
But he also notes that when an encampment is cleared, “It is just unbelievable how visually, it just changes your mindset of your neighborhood. And that is part of the goal. Because we’re dealing with an actual problem and the perception of a problem.”
Perception, he said is also why he’s posting photos and videos on social media of himself shoveling snow during snowstorms or is seen meeting people all over the city and hitting up restaurants, night clubs and glitzy events.
“We have to get the city back up and operating and many New Yorkers are starting to do so. And they need to see me in the process,” he said. “As I deal with the crises, I also have to be on that red carpet. Because Broadway is a major economic driver for our city.”

French presidential contender weighs in on Russian sanctions
French presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen, in an interview on Tuesday, raised her voice against imposing sanctions on Russia’s energy exports since, she believes, the French will have to pay dearly for those restrictions. Le Pen noted that she is not against anti-Russian sanctions in other sectors of the economy.
“I stand against sanctions concerning energy because I do not want the French to bear the full brunt of the consequences of such a decision aimed at cutting gas or oil imports. I know what those consequences will be,” the leader of the National Rally told France Inter radio. “I am here to protect the interests of the French people.”
Le Pen’s remark came after one of the radio listeners had accused her of being “Putin’s Trojan horse” for her stance on Russia. “I am no one’s Trojan horse,” rebutted the presidential candidate. She argued that she is in favor other anti-Russian sanctions that do not concern the energy sector.
Since Russia attacked Ukraine in late February, the US and its European allies have responded with unprecedented sanctions targeting Russia's banking and energy sectors. Washington and London have imposed a ban on Russian oil and gas imports. Since then, energy prices in those countries have skyrocketed accelerating the ever-growing inflation.
The first tour of the French presidential election took place on Sunday. 73 % of registered voters showed up to cast their ballots. The incumbent French President Emmanuel Macron got the most votes, with nearly 28 % of the country supporting him. Marine Le Pen rated second, with slightly over 23%. The third place went to left-wing party leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, with almost 22%. Thus, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen have qualified for the second tour of the presidential election, which will take place on April 24.

LOS ANGELES — The Caped Crusader is flying to streaming services after six weeks in theaters.
Warner Bros. confirmed "The Batman" will be available to stream on HBO Max beginning Monday, April 18. The blockbuster film will also air on HBO Saturday, April 23 at 8 p.m. ET.
The 176-minute film follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) in his second year fighting criminals in Gotham City, as he faces a stern test from the Riddler (Paul Dano), who is set on taking out corrupt, elite members of society.
"The Batman," directed and co-written by Matt Reeves, also stars Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard and Andy Serkis.
The latest relaunch of the 80-year-old comic book character grossed $128.5 million in its opening weekend to mark the biggest opening of 2022 so far and second best during the COVID-19 pandemic ($260 million opening for "Spider-Man: No Way Home").
Three weeks into its theatrical run, "The Batman" moved past the $300 million domestic mark.
As of April 12, "The Batman" has grossed $736 million worldwide.
AMC and Regal theaters charged people more to see the super hero film compared to other movies playing in the same theaters at the same time.
AMC, the largest movie theater chain in the world, is experimenting with variable pricing for films, which means the company could be charging more to see presumably big-budget, blockbuster films. However, there was not a set price increase for "The Batman" since ticket prices vary by time of day and across the country.
When looking at ticket prices online, Regal Cinemas, which is owned by Cineworld, charged a fixed rate of $1 more for tickets to "The Batman," compared to other movies at the same theater at the same time.
Cinemark Theatres did not charge customers more to see "The Batman" compared to other films.

In honor of the Civil War Anniversary, Rock Island Auction Company proudly presents the two-piece New Model Army Percussion Remington Revolvers
ROCK ISLAND, Ill., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock Island Auction Company (RIAC), the world's No. 1 firearms auction company, will offer Ulysses S. Grant's Remington revolvers during their May Premier Firearms Auction, Friday, May 13 through Sunday, May 15. Presented to the Civil War general and eventual President of the United States, the extravagant pair of Remington New Model Army revolvers is expected to bring between $1 million to $3 million.
The revolvers had remained hidden from the world since their presentation until their 2018 unveiling at the Las Vegas Antique Arms Show. This May will mark the first time they have been offered to the collecting public.
Grant's Remingtons, numbered 1 and 2, are arguably the most significant firearms discovered from the Civil War. The set is covered with the artistry of L. D. Nimschke, one of the most renowned master engravers of the 19th century, and features grips carved with Grant's portrait. They come nestled in their original rosewood case with full complement of accessories.
"April 12, 2022 marks the 161st anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, and we couldn't think of a better time to announce that Grant's revolvers will be available to the collecting public. Currently, these firearms constitute the most elaborate and historically significant set of revolvers manufactured during the Civil War," said Kevin Hogan, President of Rock Island Auction Company. "They're significant works of American art, a powerful piece of American history, and completely fresh to market. It's an incredibly exciting time to be a fine arms collector."
The pair of Remington revolvers are an American treasure and are already drawing comparisons to President Abraham Lincoln's gilt and engraved Henry Rifle or President George Washington's flintlock pistols. They were likely presented to Grant after he captured Vicksburg on the Fourth of July in 1863 and thus secured the length of the Mississippi River for the Union.
"Items owned by Grant are among the most desirable 19th century American artifacts, particularly artifacts presented to, owned by, or used by General Grant during the Civil War. At Rock Island Auction Company, we are no strangers to historic weapons owned by some of the biggest names in American and world history," said Hogan. "Just last year we sold the Napoleon garniture, Alexander Hamilton's Revolutionary War flintlock pistols and epaulets, and John Wayne's Colt Single Action Army to name a select few."
The May Premier Firearms Auction is this spring's flagship event in fine arms collecting. The auction will feature hundreds of the most historic, publicly available firearms worldwide, including well-known names of American history such as George Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, J. Edgar Hoover, Pawnee Bill and others. For more information, visit Rock Island Auction Company's Premier Firearms Auction.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Title IX is 50 years old, but a poll has found that nearly three-quarters of students ages 12-17 and nearly 60% of parents said they know “nothing at all” about the landmark civil rights law meant to ensure gender equity in education, including athletics.
The poll, conducted by Ipsos for The Shirley Povich Center for Sports Journalism and the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland, found that parents and students overwhelmingly agreed that boys’ and girls’ teams should receive equal treatment.
More than 3.4 million girls and almost 4.6 million boys play high school sports.
Only a third of the people polled said they believe that equal opportunities exist in high school athletics across the U.S. But in their own schools, parents and students judged the situation to be much better: About two-thirds said boys and girls had equal opportunities there.
Beyond finding that a majority of parents lack knowledge of Title IX, the poll highlighted some differences among groups. Of male parents, 54% said they knew nothing about Title IX, compared to 62% of female parents. Nearly 80% of respondents with no college degree answered that they knew nothing about the law. That compared to 47% with a college degree.
Enforcement of Title IX largely relies on students and parents to report unfair treatment or unequal athletic opportunities, but many poll respondents expressed reluctance to speak up about potential violations.
In response to the poll results, Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary of the Office for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Education, said in a statement: “While we have made tremendous progress, there is more work to do to build educational environments free from discrimination and to educate the public on how important this law is.”
Most parents polled did not know whether their children’s school had a procedure for handling Title IX complaints.
The online poll of 1,008 parents and 506 children ages 12-17 now enrolled in school was conducted from March 18 to 28.
Under Title IX, all federally funded schools with athletics programs must provide equal opportunities and treatment in areas such as practice facilities, coaching and publicity. The majority of poll respondents answered “unsure” to questions that tested their knowledge about Title IX’s application and enforcement, such as whether the law covers all educational programs that receive federal funding (it does) and who can report Title IX violations (anyone).
Parents who said their children played sports differed little from other parents in their knowledge of Title IX.
Among respondents who had some familiarity with Title IX, most said their knowledge came from sources other than school officials or materials. Half of parents who knew about Title IX said they saw, heard or read about it online.
Students were somewhat more likely than their parents to learn about Title IX from school personnel. One-third said they saw, heard or read about the law online and 29% said their information came from a school coach or official.
The Office for Civil Rights is responsible for enforcing all aspects of Title IX. But its main enforcement mechanism relies on young athletes or their parents to know their rights, recognize violations and file a formal complaint with the federal agency.
About half of students and parents agreed that it was their responsibility to report a Title IX violation if they were aware of one, but many said they were unlikely to or uncertain about speaking up to the relevant officials.
Only a quarter of parents said they would consider submitting a complaint to the federal Department of Education, while 38% said they likely would not consider it and 34% said they didn’t know.
Parents were more likely to consider submitting a complaint to school personnel than to the federal government, but fewer than six in 10 parents said they would consider raising an issue with any kind of school official. A quarter of parents said they would not take any action if they witnessed a sports-related Title IX violation.
Parents who said they would be uncomfortable reporting a Title IX violation directly to their child’s school were largely concerned about negative repercussions for their child, the poll found. For students, too, fear of retaliation at school and negative reactions from peers were the biggest causes of reluctance.

As Dior embarks on a series of international catwalk shows, it must remain thoughtful to sentiment
13 hours ago
Dior has announced it will show its pre-fall collection in Seoul on April 30th followed by a cruise presentation in Seville, Spain, on 16 June.
The French luxury house has previously iterated the importance of live shows, seeing the runway medium held across international cities as key to its growth and success. The brand continues to invest heavily in its presentations, scouting the world for beautiful locales as backdrops for its collections.
Last year Dior held its cruise show in Athens at the Acropolis, and in July 2020, when Covid-19 was at one of its peaks in Italy, it showed in Lecce.
This will be Dior’s first catwalk show in South Korea, which is part of a strategy to stage high-end productions around the globe: “We strongly believe in physical shows,” Dior CEO Pietro Beccari told Vogue Business earlier this year.
Dior’s menswear will also be traveling, showing its spring summer 23 collection in Los Angeles on May 19.
Dior will need to tread a thoughtful line, ensuring its shows are seen to celebrate local craftsmanship rather than blockbuster presentations that veer on the side of being elitist and ostentatious. The creative art of catwalk collections form the DNA of many fashion brands, yet 2022 is a time of war, global recession and high living costs, and consumers are quick to point out when lavish shows of extravagance are not aligned with current sentiment.

Five stark differences between superstores Costco and Walmart including free store samples – but each one has its perks
TWO of the most popular retailers in the world are Walmart and Costco, both known for their low prices and special offers not found in other stores.
In recent years, competition between the two giants has increased. However, there are stark differences between the two retailers that many might not notice.
For example, Walmart was founded back in 1962 and now boasts over 5,000 total stores. Costco was founded in 1976 as Price Club before being known as Costco in 1983.
Costco runs over 800 warehouses worldwide.
FOOD COURT & RESTAURANTS
One major difference between the two stores is their food offerings. Costco is known for its beloved food courts, allowing members to partake in treats after shopping.
Customers can enjoy $1.50 hot dogs, pizza and the famous onion crank on the iconic menu across its warehouses.
In Walmart, depending on which side of the store you enter from, you might come across a restaurant inside the superstore.
Fast-food chains such as Wendy’s, Saladworks, Frutta Bowls and Shawarma Press have occupied space inside the stores.
Most read in Fabulous
SIGNATURE BRANDS
Walmart is known for its line of Great Value products, which includes food and cleaning products. Generic label aside, the products are cheaper than name-brand options.
Reddit users explained their preference for the cheaper products, with one user writing, “Great value ice cream. Cheaper, can’t tell the difference…Can say the same for their juices, breads, chips, cookies, etc. Just about everything.”
On the Costco side, their exclusive brand of products falls under the Kirkland Signature line, offering a wider variety of products than Walmart.
Aside from household, grocery and personal care items, Kirkland Signature also has sunglasses, mattresses and hoodies with the logo.
Like Great Value, Kirkland Signature has a big fanbase on Reddit with hers bragging about getting the hoodies on the company’s website.
SELF CHECKOUT
When it comes to self-checkout, Walmart takes the cake. The superstore hopes to replace traditional conveyor belt registers with more self-checkout stations.
The company stated that the plan is to make checking out less complicated. An experimental store design at a supercenter in Arkansas got rid of all of its traditional registers in 2020.
The machines have green lights that show which station is available in an effort to speed up the checkout process.
Costco hasn’t quite caught up in this venture. There are individual checkout stations in the warehouses, but the numbers don’t compare to Walmart.
FREE SAMPLES DIFFERENCES
Receiving a free sample is the highlight of any shopper’s day. Costco, however, takes it to another level.
Members can expect to see free sample areas around the warehouse, especially on a Saturday. Products such as Lindt chocolate, pumpkin cheese case and even prime rib may be offered.
Walmart uses the Freeosk system, a fully automated experience where customers can use “freebie vending machines” to receive the items.
Customers can also use the Freeosk app to get a sample of an in-store item delivered straight to their homes.
EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE
Over 1.6million employees work for Walmart in the US with a total of 2.3million global employees. Costco has fewer employees, with 189,000 in the US and 288,000 worldwide.
At Walmart, the minimum wage is around $12 an hour, however, Costco raised its minimum wage to $17 an hour.
Employees at Costco also tend to stay at the company and get promoted from within, earning them a relatively low turnover rate.
“Most workers are covered by the company’s benefits plan which includes a 401(k), health insurance, dental insurance, drug plan, vision care and others,” said Investopedia.

Heavy property tax collection frustrates Shamshabad residents
As the Shamshabad Municipality officials go to every house to collect property tax from the citizens before the financial year ends, the number of grievances is also increasing.
Hyderabad: As the Shamshabad Municipality officials go to every house to collect property tax from the citizens before the financial year ends, the number of grievances is also increasing.
The residents complaints about miscalculation, delay in re-assessment, heavy tax collection and delay in taking action on grievances. They say that they are unable to pay tax online due to technical glitches in the website.
One such complainant, T Srinivas, is employed in a private company, residing in Kothwalguda. "Without any notice or re-assessment, higher rates of property tax are being collected; earlier it was Rs 4,550 and now it is Rs 9,540 even though no additional construction or modification was taken up to my house. Even my neighbours are facing the same issue. Complaints have been lodged, but no action has been taken," he said.
Another resident, Rajesh Reddy, who owns a three-storey building in Shamshabad said, "to inquire about the property tax rates and to know the assessment process after the implementation of new Municipal Act 2019, several times we visited the nunicipal office and the website, but not a single issue has been resolved or heard by the officials; the website always shows technical glitches."
The Shamshabad municipality was constituted in 2018 and declared an urban local body (ULB). There are 21 wards. The total population as per Census 2011 is 44,651, The civic body wasformed by merging six gram panchayats---Shamshabad and its peripheral five gram panchayats which include Thondupally, Ootpally, Chinna Gollapalli, Kothwalguda and Satamrai. Shamshabad municipality is located near the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. It is on the Nehru Outer Ring Road and National Highway 44. Shamshabad town has Umdanagar railway station which connects Secunderabad to Bangalore.

Ukraine secret service says it has arrested top Putin ally
April 12 (Reuters) - Ukraine's security services on Tuesday said they had arrested pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, who is President Vladimir Putin's closest and most influential ally in Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had earlier published a photo of a tired-looking and handcuffed Medvedchuk, who says Putin is godfather to his daughter.
In February, Kyiv said Medvedchuk, the leader of the Opposition Platform - For Life party, had escaped from house arrest. Last year authorities opened a treason case against Medvedchuk, who denies wrongdoing.
"You can be a pro-Russian politician and work for the aggressor state for years. You may have been hiding from justice lately. You can even wear a Ukrainian military uniform for camouflage," the security services said in an online post.
"But will it help you escape punishment? Not at all! Shackles are waiting for you and same goes for traitors to Ukraine like you."
The post cited Ivan Bakanov, head of the secret services, as saying his operatives had "conducted a lightning-fast and dangerous multi-level special operation" to arrest Medvedchuk but did not give details.
Last month Zelenskiy said the Opposition Platform - For Life, which is Ukraine's largest opposition movement, and several other smaller political parties with ties to Russia had been suspended.
A spokesperson for Medvedchuk was not immediately available for comment. (Reporting by Max Hunder; writing by David Ljunggren; editing by Chris Reese and Grant McCool)

AP source: Women’s hockey talks between rivals break down
By STEPHEN WHYNO and JOHN WAWROW
AP Hockey Writers
The Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association has decided to break off talks with the rival Premier Hockey Federation. Representatives from the PWHPA and PHF met in March at the request of the NHL. The NHL had hoped the discussions would thaw relations between the sides and get them to work together to unify the sport. The PHWPA is headlined by U.S. and Canadian national team players. It has long opposed uniting with the PHF back to the days it was known as the National Women’s Hockey League.

ECRI and ISMP PUBLIC STATEMENT | Medication Errors are Complex; Criminal Charges Will Not Improve Care
ECRI and ISMP PUBLIC STATEMENT | Medication Errors are Complex; Criminal Charges Will Not Improve Care
PR Newswire
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., April 12, 2022
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The recent criminal conviction of a former registered nurse due to a fatal medication error has shaken the healthcare foundation to its core. While this is not the first time a patient has been harmed from a wrong medication or wrong dose, this case sets a precedent that can potentially lead to a shutdown in reporting of adverse events, creating a cloak of silence rather than a culture of safety.
We believe that criminalizing providers for unintended harm will hinder rather than improve healthcare in the future.
ECRI and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) PSO, the nation's largest patient safety organization, has worked diligently with healthcare providers since 2008 to collect and analyze medical errors, learn from the errors, and most importantly, share information to help providers prevent future errors. We fear that the recent criminalization of a health care provider may stifle open and transparent learning as healthcare providers weigh the risks of disclosing an error within their organization or reporting an error to a PSO for learning.
While some may hope that the conviction of a single individual for an unintended error will forcefully incent providers and organizations to do better, for the majority of the healthcare community, criminalization of providers could wipe out the years of progress that organizations have made in creating a culture of safety and transparency to talk about patient safety events and work towards improvements.
"We firmly believe that criminalizing providers for unintended harm will hinder rather than improve healthcare in the future," says Marcus Schabacker, MD, PhD, president and CEO of ECRI.
This culture of safety, and the federal legislation that supports patient safety organizations, motivates providers to voluntarily report medical errors to create a national community of learning. Patients, healthcare organizations, and providers all benefit from a culture that supports ongoing reporting and learning.
In effect, criminalizing clinicians will eliminate the open dialogue that is needed to understand the root causes of errors and apply solutions to those problems. Prosecuting even one provider ultimately punishes all providers and patients by driving patient safety efforts underground and reversing years of progress to bring patient safety to the forefront.
"While our legal system allows for the criminalization of human error even in the absence of any intent to cause harm, ISMP, along with other professional and patient safety organizations, believe the criminal charges and the guilty verdict set a dangerous precedent and have worrisome implications for safety, particularly for one of the key pillars of a culture of safety—reporting of medical errors," says Rita K. Jew, PharmD, MBA, BCPPS, FASHP, president of ISMP.
To learn more, we invite you to read in-depth coverage and analysis in the ISMP Medication Safety Alert!® newsletter article Criminalization of Human Error and A Guilty Verdict: A Travesty of Justice that Threatens Patient Safety. A list of ISMP and other resources on preventing errors with neuromuscular blockers and automated dispensing cabinets is available at this link on the website.

What you need to take care of on Wednesday, April 13:
The American dollar shed ground ahead of the release of US inflation figures, later recovering somewhat to close the day unevenly. It is stronger against the shared currency, as EUR/USD trades around 1.0830, not far from the year low at 1.0805.
The GBP/USD pair battles around 1.3000, despite upbeat UK employment-related data. The ILO Unemployment Rate edged lower to 3.8% in the three months to February from 3.9% previously, slightly better than the 3.9% expected. Also, the Average Earnings Including Bonus rose by 5.4%, compared to 4.8% in January, as expected. Finally, the number of job vacancies in the UK from January to March 2022 increased to a new record of 1,288,000.
Commodity-linked currencies spent most of the day up against their American rival, trimming some gains ahead of the close as Wall Street was unable to hold on to early gains. US indexes edged modestly lower.
AUD/USD trades around 0.7450, partially helped by soaring gold prices, as the bright metal reached a fresh multi-week high of $1,978.59 a troy ounce.
USD/CAD stands at 1.2640, despite soaring oil prices. WTI trades above $100.00 a barrel after the OPEC cut this year’s oil demand growth and also its supply forecast. Oil suffered a short-lived knee-jerk after Iran’s supreme leader said that nuclear talks “are going well.”
Generally speaking, trading was sluggish in stock markets. Asian indexes edged lower, while European and US ones posted modest losses. Wall Street spent most of the day in the green after US inflation data proved less concerning than anticipated.
US government bond yields soared ahead of US data, later retreating. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note peaked at 2.836%, now standing at 2.72%.
The dismal mood was exacerbated by comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who said that talks with Ukraine are at a dead-end, claiming that the latter has deviated from the agreements achieved at talks in Istanbul, Turkey. Putin added that the news reporting war crimes in Bucha were fake.
Meanwhile, news coming from China raised a red flag. The country said that the latest coronavirus wave in Shanghai is not under effective control. Lockdowns continue in the country, and the world wonders whether a new, unknown strain will soon spur globally and how it could affect economic growth.

Canada's Alberta Province Cuts Ties With 3 Russian Regions Over Ukraine - Russian Envoy
Faizan Hashmi Published April 13, 2022 | 12:30 AM
WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 13th April, 2022) Canada's Alberta province has severed its ties with three Russian regions over the Ukraine crisis, Russian Ambassador in Ottawa Oleg Stepanov told Sputnik.
When asked about the current state of inter-regional ties between the two countries, Stepanov stated, "Moscow notes their freezing on the Canadian side in the current conditions."
"The province of Alberta has taken the most radical step," he added. "I received a cc of the letter from Alberta premier Jason Kenney in which he states that Alberta is unilaterally terminating its ties with three Russian regions.
"
These are the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area, the Tyumen region and the Khanty-Mansiysk Area.
"They present it as a gesture of protest against the Russian special military operation. At the same time, we must understand that in fact such a gesture by the authorities is due to the fact that a powerful Ukrainian diaspora lives in the province, which, in fact, is pushing the authorities to make decisions that have nothing to do with the crisis in Ukraine," Stepanov said.

OMD: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Maid of Orleans, Louise Brooks, Pandora’s Box and More…
Exclusive interview by Karen Beishuizen
Photo Credit: Alex Lake and Mark McNaulty
British band OMD: we all grew up with their music in the 80s and 90s. Who does not remember the video of Maid of Orleans (Joan of Arc)? Or the great song “Pandora’s Box” about silent movie star Louise Brooks? Last month they performed at The Royal Albert Hall in London and are now heading to America where their first gig starts on 22 April in Orlando, Florida.
KB: OMD was formed in Wirral, Merseyside and first gained popularity with the songs “Enola Gay “: It is an anti-war song? What is the story behind it?
I am a geek and was always building model airplanes when I was a kid. I also have a fascination regarding the inversion of normal morals at time of war. If you like planes and are interested in moral dilemmas in warfare you must come to Enola Gay. That is the name of the B29 Superfortress that dropped the atom bomb on the city of Hiroshima. Until he died, the pilot Captain Paul Tibbets always believed that by killing 150,000 people he saved the lives of 5 million and shortened WWII. The plane was named after his mother. Hence the lyric “is mother proud of Little Boy today?” has a triple meaning as the bomb was code named Little Boy! The song is really an exploration of the act. I wish that it had never happened, but I understand why it did.
KB: How did you come up with the band’s name: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark?
Paul Humphreys and I had known each other at school since we were seven years old. We started writing music together at 16 inspired by German electronic music. Our friends didn’t really understand what we were doing so we never played live until three years later when we basically dared ourselves to do one gig. We borrowed a mate’s tape recorder as no-one else wanted to play with us and used the craziest name that we could think of to let people know that this was going to be something rather different. It was originally an idea for a song title that I found written on my bedroom wall where I used to write notes and ideas. Now here we are over 43 years later with the same name that was only to be for one night!
KB: Maid of Orleans is a classic: The story about Joan of Arc: What inspired you to write this song?
When we toured in France in 1981 after Enola Gay had been number one for 3 months in that country, it was pointed out to me that we were performing in many cities historical associated with Joan of Arc. Being fascinated by history this intrigued me and I went to research Joan when I returned home to the UK. The more that I learned the more difficult it seemed to really understand her story. There is very little definitive accurate information, and each historian comes to Joan’s story with their own agenda. I became fascinated and so I wrote the song Maid of Orleans. However, I did not feel initially that it was really working, so I wrote another song about Joan of Arc. When we went into the studio to make the album the rest of the band persuaded me that we should try it again. It worked brilliantly and that is why there are two songs about Joan on the same album.
KB: The song ” Pandora’s Box ” is from the album “Sugar Tax” (I adore this song): the story about silent film star Louise Brooks: What inspired you to write about her?
The song began with me adoring the way the Louise Brooks looked. I collected postcards and prints of her. She looked incredibly modern and sharp even a hundred years ago. Once again, I researched her life story and just felt that I had to write a song. She burned so brightly so young, but then turned her back on stardom and lived as a recluse for much of her life.
KB: In late 1996 you retired the name OMD? Why? This must have been a hard decision?
In the mid-1990s after Grunge and Brit pop had arrived, the press and radio felt that a synth band was out of fashion. To be honest, I was struggling to know if I should change the musical style or not. I released the song Walking on the Milky Way as a single, but it didn’t do very well despite me feeling that it was one of the best songs that I had written. My son had been born and I could see that the band was going to struggle, so I took the difficult decision to stop performing as OMD and stay at home to see my kids grow up.
KB: In 2018 you published an autobiography called “Pretending to See the Future”: why was it written in the first person and how long did it take you to write it? How did you come up with the title?
We had been approached by the people behind a series of books called This Day in Music. We liked the idea of fans telling their own stories of connection to the band, the music, and the concerts that they had attended. As OMD’s 40th anniversary was approaching we decided to use the opportunity to create a book that followed our four decades through the eyes of the people who had made our career by their amazing support for all that we have done. We added our own memories and tied the stories together with some background information and analysis. The title is taken from the song of the same name on our first album. The lyrics are about getting a record deal and the fear and excitement that we felt!
KB: What are you up to now? Anything new planned like a new album or gigs?
We hope that there will be a new album released in early 2023 as right now we are playing catch up with all the concerts that had to be rescheduled due to Covid-19. We had two concerts at the famous Royal Albert Hall in London last month, then we head over the Atlantic. We are really looking forward to coming back to do our first headlining tour for four years in North America. Starting in Florida on April 22nd and finishing on May 25th at the Greek Theatre in LA.
KB: The world was in several lock downs for almost 2 years and there was not much you could do that stay at home: How did you spend your time? Did you write new songs? Any hobbies you like?
The song writing was my saving grace. I rediscovered the creative power of total bloody boredom! Ha-ha. There was nowhere to go, nothing to do other than write songs… so I did. I do love walking in the beautiful British countryside but sometimes even that was not allowed in the lockdowns. I am fortunate to have a large garden, so I spent a lot of time tidying the garden and feeding the birds. (My kids call me a bird nerd) I did also paint a picture of my friend’s house as a Christmas present for her. It has been decades since I used oils. It turned out OK, but I realized that painting is not like riding a bike… I had forgotten everything that I knew!

Illegal immigrants evicted from Railways’ land in Jammu
The Railways on Tuesday evicted illegal immigrants, who had encroached upon its land near tracks in Jammu’s Trikuta Nagar, officials said.
Railways SSP Mohammad Arif Reshu said no force was used and the encroachers vacated the Railways land on their own. “They were told that it is not safe to live close to the tracks and they also understood the hazards and vacated on their own,” he added.
However, a couple, while packing their belongings, said, “Under these hot weather conditions, we don’t know where will we go? We can’t go back to Myanmar because we would be killed there. We don’t get accommodation on rent here because we don’t have Aadhaar cards, but we do have UN refugee cards. We have young children with us. We don’t know what would happen to us.”
Another woman regretted that she couldn’t observe fasting in the month of Ramzan because of the action by the authorities.
Another Rohingya, Shams ul Alam, with a UNHCR card in his hands, said, “I don’t know where to go now…They (officials) said that the land belongs to the Railways and we have to vacate it. They don’t consider UN card. We appeal to the government to rehabilitate us somewhere. How can we go back to Myanmar. We will be killed there by the army.”
On April 7, the J&K high court had directed the home secretary of the UT, RK Goyal, to evolve a mechanism for the identification of all illegal immigrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh and prepare a list after identifying them. The court directions had come on a PIL filed by lawyer Hunar Gupta, who sought directions to the J&K government for appointing a former retired judge to hold an inquiry to identify all illegal immigrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh, who have migrated and settled in J&K.
A division bench of the high court comprising Chief Justice Pankaj Mithal and Justice Moksha Khajuria Kazmi, after hearing senior advocate Sunil Sethi for the PIL and advocate general DC Raina with AAG Raman Sharma for the UT, directed the home secretary to consider the matter and evolve a mechanism for the identification of all illegal immigrants.
The entire “exercise may be carried out, most promptly, within a period of six weeks,” the court had said.
As per the government, 13,400 illegal immigrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh were living in various areas of J&K.
The petitioner had submitted that the actual figures were much more than the official statistics.

What would get a resident of the Southern California basin to cross the Cajon Pass to buy a new home?
Maybe starting prices in the $300,000 ballpark?
Three-decades-plus in the making, groundbreaking has occurred at what’s planned to be a 15,663-home community in Hesperia.
The developers of what’s now known as Silverwood — Arizona-based builder DMB Development and investors Schlegel Capital and The Beaumont Group — are betting that folks will want to live at 3,000 feet in the foothills of the eastern side of the San Bernardino Mountains.
The project previously dubbed Tapestry and Los Rancho Flores should get buyers some scenic views — not to mention a broader range of weather than found in most Southern California cities.
But the big lure will be pricing. Silverwood is expecting to start sales of the first 499 homes in 2024, with expected prices from the $300,000s to the $500,000s on lots from snug 2,400 square feet to generous 7,500-plus.
“There’s affordability here,” says John Ohanian, general manager of Silverwood. “It’s an option if you want to remain in California.”
Marketing will be critical. And Silverwood will use some novel-for-California twists. For example, model homes for the early phases will all be built on the same street.
“This will make it a bit of an attraction, a place to go,” Ohanian says.
Numerous hurdles, not to mention a pandemic, slowed the process for the property owners, who acquired the land in 2012 out of the bankruptcy of previous developers.
The last challenge — five years after city approval — was negotiating a mitigation agreement with state regulators to preserve nearby Joshua trees. The settlement amounts to a roughly $8,000 cost per home in Silverwood’s first construction phases. Roughly half of the 9,366-acre Silverwood site will become parks, trails and open space.
And why the name change for the project?
“Tapestry sounded like a master-planned community,” Ohanian says. “Silverwood sounded like a place.”

After announcing the names of Kikko Galbiati and Matteo Cressoni, who will take over in one of the Mercedes AMG GT3s, the team led by Marco Antonelli definitively completes its line-up for the Sprint series by formalizing the couple formed by the Italian Emidio Pesce. and by Dutchman Jop Rappange, both making their absolute debut in the Italian series as well as at the wheel of a three-pointed star car.
Pesce, who turned 20 in mid-March, makes his debut in covered wheels after three consecutive seasons in a single-seater. The Milanese driver, who took his first steps in Formula 4 in Italy and Spain, has played in the European Formula Regional over the last two years, becoming the author of good growth in an international context of the highest level.
The path taken by the twenty-one-year-old Rappange was different, last season third among the Silver in the GT4 European Series in which he constantly occupied the top positions of the overall standings, hitting six fourth places and proving to be one of the fastest of the lot. A path that for him began in karts, before arriving in the world of Gran Turismo.
That of Pesce and Rappange will therefore be in effect an “under” combination in terms of age, which will immediately aim to enter the leading positions of a championship in which the Antonelli Motorsport team tries to revive the glories of 2019 (when in the Sprint series won both the Team and Drivers’ titles) and 2018, the year in which he got his hands on the absolute primacy of the GT3.
Pesce and Rappange will take part in all four rounds of the Italian GT Sprint Championship which after Monza (21-24 April) will stop, in order, in Misano (3-5 June), Imola (2-4 September) and Mugello (21-23 October).

DUMPED Eddie Boxshall has claimed he’s had his fill of ex-lover Denise Van Outen - and pie and mash now makes him happy.
He posted an ode to his calorie-laden grub and told pals: “Everything I ever did was wrong, I should have known it all aloooooong…There ain’t no pleasing you!!!! (but this pleases me!)"
To emphasise his point, Eddie, 48, posted a snap of a double pie and mashed potato, served up with a brew, taken in London’s famous Manze pie shop.
And after filling up, Eddie then served up another dig at the telly star, 47, - who kicked him out after discovering x-rated messages to other females - by saying in a post on Instagram: “Time is too precious to live someone else’s definition of happiness and success.”
Denise threw out fiance Eddie for sexting other women behind her back.
She later opened up about the moment she found her love rat partner, whom she had been with for seven years, was covering his tracks as he cheated on her.
The TV favourite was told her fiancé had gone on her phone to block a woman from contacting her on Instagram in a bid to keep their relationship secret.
She went on to learn he had been doing the same with another woman too, even while they were planning their wedding.
He had also met with a third and had a pub bust-up with her boyfriend.
In autobiography A Bit of Me, Denise told of the details of why she dumped Boxshall last year — and how she finally caught him out by turning detective and searching a deleted folder on his iPad.
Most read in Celebrity
Denise says: “There were Instagram messages alluding to phone sex with a woman. I quickly found the woman’s profile by her screen name only to discover I’d previously blocked her on my Instagram account — which struck me as odd.
“This was a woman who I didn’t know, who’d clearly had an online connection with my boyfriend. Why had I blocked her?
“Straight away I unblocked her and sent her a message asking how she knew Eddie. ‘Oh, you’ve unblocked me then,’ came the fast reply. ‘I don’t even know you, why would I block you?’
“She suggested that Eddie had probably gone into my phone and blocked her so she couldn’t message me.
“Her name was Tracy and she had apparently spoken to Eddie over FaceTime and text for a long period — often from our home and sometimes from my flat in Hampstead.
“They’d never met in person, but she said the conversations had become sexual reasonably quickly. Some of the stuff I found on the phone seemed to support that.
“However she was upset with Eddie by then, because he had apparently ghosted her. ‘I hope you’re not angry with me,’ she wrote. ‘I’m not a homewrecker’.
“I didn’t want to rant at her but I couldn’t believe she thought this was acceptable.
“She was a similar age to me, with a child of her own, and in my book sexual chats on FaceTime and text and continued communication over a long period amount to cheating.
“It was disrespectful and devastatingly hurtful.”
Yet the ballsy theatre star is not letting her ex's love rat antics bring her down - exclusively telling The Sun she "can't wait" to find love again.
Denise told The Sun: “I feel like I’m in a really good place. I wasn’t - I was really hurt. And there’s still an element of hurt there but I’m dealing with it better now.
“I felt so content in the relationship. But rather than sitting around and feeling down and thinking to myself, ‘My life has turned to c**p, blah blah blah’.
"I just thought, ‘No, I need to be positive about this’, and I just thought, ‘I’m going to change my mindset to, ‘I will have the opportunity now to meet someone who is honest and loyal and respectful and that I can have a really good solid relationship with.’
"And I get to fall in love again, how amazing is that?”

If this shower finish in the top four, I will get a tattoo on my arse saying, Christiano Ronaldo was here with an arrow pointing at my ring.
Did Modric make a great pass? No ones mentioned it.
Gomes flapping at a ball looks like a sealion trying to have a wank!
It's getting increasingly confusing flicking between the channels and supporting the team in yellow then hating the team in yellow.
City will absolutely smash either one of these teams, if they play like they did against us.
If anyone is going to put a few fingers deep into my arse it's going to be me.
I've just wiped the sticky residue from my bellend onto the television screen. Taste it Leo. You deserve it.
I would honestly let Wijnaldum jizz in my face right now
Thought that was going to be a pen by James then
Vinicius doing to James what he did to Trent last season. I look forward to the 'James can't defend' narrative taking hold in the media.
Reals defenceFuck me they are shite
why are Chelsea playing in yellow?
Craig Burnley V West Ham - WEST HAM WIN - INCORRECT
Same, Im pretty sure he clipped him and VIni Jr had enough contract to just lose his balance
Missing Militao big time.
Villarreal actually had a couple attacks last few mins. Still not close to scoring though.
Hoddle said he should have gone down

If the winter weather left your hair a bit dry and lackluster, a hair mask is a great way to hydrate and nourish your locks. Using a hair mask not only makes your hair soft and shiny, but they can also repair split ends, which in turn makes it easier and quicker to style, saving you time during your busy mornings.
Not all hair masks are created equal, but this Sunatoria Premium Keratin Hair Mask for sale from Amazon has everything your hair craves, like vitamin E, omega 3 and omega 9 fatty acids. Vitamin E replenishes the shine that hair loses when exposed to chemicals, heat and styling products, while omega 3 and omega 9 increase moisture and hair elasticity.
Regularly priced at $27.50, it is currently on sale for less than $20. But you can save even more by clipping a coupon to take an additional 10% off, which brings the final price to $17.81. That’s a savings of nearly $10, or more than 35% off.
The mask is also made with 100% top-grade hydrolyzed keratin, which can deeply repair and condition hair while providing restoration and lasting protection. While it can be used on all hair types and textures, it’s great for dry, damaged, brittle and color-treated hair. Sunatoria promises it’s sodium, sulfate and paraben-free, and that it’s quality tested to ensure purity.
Using the mask is simple: first apply it to washed and towel-dried hair, spreading it throughout your hair from scalp to tips. Wait 5-10 minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly.
The Reviews
With nearly 5,000 reviews so far, the Premium Keratin Hair Mask has an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars, with 79% of reviewers giving it a perfect grade. Customers say it’s definitely recommended, smells great and leaves their hair soft and silky smooth.
One reviewer who gave the mask 5 stars says she recently went to the salon with semi-healthy hair, but after a lot of bleach was used on her hair, she worried about damage and a bought the mask.
“I was worried about damage, even though I had a keratin treatment before my hair was done. I feel a little ripped off since I spent so much more at the salon when I could’ve just gotten this product. Before I used it, my hair was SO DRY and brittle. About 3-5+ pieces of hair per brush stroke came out. Even when I brushed in the same exact spot immediately!!!” she wrote. “My hair literally feels like I had a treatment from the salon. I’ve noticed a dramatic decrease in breakage and my hair doesn’t tangle quickly anymore. The scent is lovely. It smells professional. Very powerful the first day. I will not wash my hair for three days after using this mask or use absolutely any heat on it”.
There are a few negative reviews, with a handful of people saying the mask did not work for their hair and they either didn’t notice a difference or that it seemed to dry it out.
Other Options
If you’re looking for a hair mask, but want something a bit cheaper, this Arvazallia Hydrating Argan Oil Hair Mask is less than $13 for roughly the same size container.
The argan oil hair mask deeply conditions, detangles, hydrates and revives dull and dry hair. With close to 39,000 reviews, it has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars, with 72% of customers giving it a full 5 stars.
You can also buy a two-pack of a different keratin repair hair mask, this time from Natural Formula, that also comes with a serum. The package of two 11.8-ounce masks and two 4.8-ounce Keratin Intense Hair Serums was priced at $32.99 as of publication time.
The serum is formulated to rebuild strands from within and forms a protective coating around straightened hair, while the mask is formulated to restore, nourish and strengthen hair.
Have you had any luck with keratin hair masks? If you’ve wondered about them, it seems like a good time to grab one at Amazon.

Russia is on the verge of defaulting on its foreign debt for the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution more than a century ago.
Over the past week, the country faced two payment deadlines on bonds it previously sold to foreign investors. The combined interest was worth nearly $650 million, and the payments were supposed to have been made in dollars according to the terms of the bond contracts.
But citing severe sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies, Russia made the payments in rubles.
That led credit rating agency S&P Global to announce Russia is now in a "selective default," often a harbinger of a full default.
Russia does have a 30-day grace period, which gives it a little breathing room. But S&P Global isn't optimistic circumstances will change, and if Russia doesn't make the payments in dollars by early May, the country will default.
Here's what to know as the clock ticks down.
Is a default now inevitable?
It's looking increasing likely.
Russia says it wants to pay foreign investors, but it argues it can't do that in dollars because of the sanctions.
The U.S. and its allies have imposed a number of wide-ranging sanctions on Russian financial institutions and prevented many global banks from working with the country. They have also restricted Russia's ability to tap its more than $600 billion in foreign exchange reserves.
So the U.S. has indeed made it exceedingly difficult for Russia to make those scheduled payments in dollars, as part of its efforts to isolate the country from the global financial system.
The Biden administration argues Moscow can still find ways to pay, by using its earnings from energy exports, for example. Many European Union members and other countries continue to buy Russian oil and natural gas.
There are also non-sanctioned financial institutions Russia could turn to facilitate debt payments.
"The Russian government has the ability, if they choose, to pay their debt obligations in the correct currencies stipulated in their contracts," said Morgan Finkelstein, a Treasury Department spokeswoman, in a statement.
But Russia argues its hands are tied and the country's finance ministry has threatened to sue over its inability to access dollars to pay foreign investors.
What would be the impact of a default?
A default would make Russia more of a pariah in the global economy.
Selling bonds is a critical way countries raise foreign currencies to fund projects and raise reserves of foreign currencies, among other purposes.
But the European Union is considering a ban on energy exports from Russia, which would further limit Russia's ability to raise money in foreign currency.
Countries that have defaulted on their bonds have eventually been welcomed back to global debt markets, but memories of a default linger, and Russia may have to pay more to borrow from foreign investors in the future.
A default is also something that would be historically significant and fraught with symbolism. It would mark the first time Russia has defaulted on foreign bond payments in more than a century (though it did default on local currency debt in 1998).
According to Tim Samples, a professor at the University of Georgia who specializes in foreign investment, Russia's predicament is yet another consequence of its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
"This is a reflection of just how far and how fast Russia has fallen from favor in Western capital markets," he said.
So will foreign investors now lose their money?
Not necessarily, but most investors will need to go through a protracted legal battle to try to get the money they are owed.
Although Russia was not a big seller of foreign debt, major hedge funds and asset managers, including Invesco and PIMCO, bought bonds. According to Morgan Stanley, Russia has 15 bonds outstanding that are denominated in dollars and euros, and altogether, they are worth around $40 billion.
Much of Russia's debt was registered in the United Kingdom, which is where it's likely most of the court fights would take place.
It can be complicated process, and it will take a long time to resolve. After Argentina defaulted in 2001, there were several efforts to restructure the country's debt. All told, negotiations lasted longer than a decade.

By STAN CHOE, DAMIAN J. TROISE and ALEX VEIGA
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks ended slightly lower on Wall Street Tuesday after investors weighed new data showing some signs that inflation slowed slightly in March, though overall it remained at its highest level in 40 years.
The S&P 500 fell 0.3% after having been up 1.3% earlier in the day. The pullback extends the benchmark index’s losing streak to a third day, reflecting investors’ worries about the potential economic collateral damage as the Federal Reserve tackles high inflation more aggressively.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite each fell 0.3% after shedding early gains.
The indexes initially rallied following the release of the report, which showed inflation last month was again at its highest level in generations, driven by soaring gasoline prices in particular. Still, the reading was relatively close to economists’ expectations.
Another faint silver lining was that inflation wasn’t as bad as economists expected, when ignoring the costs of food and fuel. Known as “core inflation,” this is the reading that the Federal Reserve pays more attention to when setting policy because it’s less volatile. And core inflation on a month-over-month basis moderated to its slowest level since September.
“Hopefully this is as bad as it gets,” said Brian Jacobsen, senior investment strategist at Allspring Global Investments.
“The risk is that a red hot labor market grows cold under the force of those higher food, fuel, and financing costs. This is a time when economic resilience will be tested.”
The S&P 500 fell 15.08 points to 4,397.45. The Dow fell 87.72 points to 34,220.36, and the Nasdaq lost 40.38 points to 13,371.57.
Smaller company stocks held up better than the broader market. The Russell 2000 rose 6.61 points, or 0.3%, to 1,986.94.
Stocks in recent days have been trading in the opposite direction of Treasury yields, which have climbed to their highest levels since well before the pandemic. Yields jumped as investors brace for the Federal Reserve to hike short-term rates at a faster pace than typical and to aggressively pare its trove of bonds, whose buildup helped keep longer-term rates low.
But Treasury yields pulled back on Tuesday following the inflation report. The 10-year yield slid to 2.72% from 2.77% late Monday. It was as high as 2.83% overnight, before the inflation report’s release. The 10-year yield nevertheless remains well above the 1.51% level where it began the year.
Stocks elsewhere around the world closed lower or mixed, as unease continues to hang over markets about the war in Ukraine, Chinese efforts to contain COVID outbreaks and where inflation and interest rates are heading.
The price of U.S. crude oil climbed 6.7% to settle at $100.60, keeping the pressure on high inflation. Brent crude, the international standard, rose 6.3% to settle at $104.64.
Higher interest rates from the Federal Reserve would slow the economy, which would hopefully knock down high inflation. Consumer prices were 8.5% higher in March than a year earlier, accelerating from February’s 7.9% inflation rate and the highest since 1981. To bring it down, the Fed revealed in the minutes from its latest meeting that it’s prepared to hike short-term rates by half a percentage point, double the usual amount, at some upcoming meetings, something it hasn’t done since 2000.
The worry is the Federal Reserve may be so aggressive about hiking interest rates that it forces the economy into a recession.
Higher interest rates also put downward pressure on all kinds of investments, with those seen as the most expensive hardest hit. That’s because when investors are earning more in interest to own relatively safe bonds, they’re less willing to pay higher prices for riskier stocks. Technology and other high-growth stocks that have been some of the stock market’s biggest recent winners have been in the spotlight in particular.
On Tuesday, technology stocks were among the biggest drags on S&P 500, along with health care and financial companies. Microsoft fell 1.1%, Pfizer lost 1.5% and Wells Fargo slid 1.8%.
Energy companies and retailers were among the sectors that notched gains. Marathon Oil rose 4.2% and Ross Stores rose 2.5%.
More swings may be in store for stocks as companies prepare to report their earnings for the first three months of the year. Delta Air Lines, JPMorgan Chase and other big-name companies will kick off the reporting season on Wednesday.
A key focus for investors during the latest round of earnings will be any sign of consumers pulling back on spending and how companies reacted, said Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager and lead portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions.
“It all boils down to their margins and how are companies deal with rising costs,” Janasiewicz said.
Earnings were able to stay at record levels through the end of last year as companies raised prices for their products and services enough to protect their profit margins. But the further acceleration of inflation may be straining that formula.
Used car dealership chain CarMax slumped 9.5% after reporting disappointing earnings. The company said high prices for cars were discouraging buyers.
While they can swing sharply for many reasons in the short term, stock prices tend to track the path of corporate profits over the long term.

Due to the threat of inclement weather, Tuesday night’s baseball game against the Lamar Cardinals has been canceled.
LSU was set to play the Cardinals at The Box as a tune-up game for this weekend’s series against No. 7 Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It was a good week for the Tigers, who went 4-0 with a weekend sweep over Mississippi State, their first sweep in a conference series since 2019.
This is the third midweek game that has been postponed for LSU this season. The prior two were rescheduled for the following day, but a makeup date for this one hasn’t been announced.

On March 22, HUD announced the delivery of the Interagency Task Force on Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity (PAVE) Action Plan to President Biden. The PAVE Action Plan outlines actions that are intended to substantially reduce racial bias in home appraisals, and to promote generational wealth creation through home ownership. According to the Task Force's executive summary, "[o]n average, homes in majority-Black neighborhoods are valued at less than half of those in neighborhoods with few or no Black residents." The PAVE Task Force is composed of thirteen federal agencies and offices.
The Action Plan, when enacted, will represent the most wide-ranging set of reforms ever introduced to advance equity in the home appraisal process. Specifically, the Action Plan: (i) outlines the historical role of racism in the valuation of residential property; (ii) examines the various forms of bias that can appear in residential property valuation practices; and (iii) describes affirmative steps that federal agencies will take to advance equity in the appraisal process, and outlines further recommendations that government and industry stakeholders can initiate.
The Action Plan goes on to outline a number of commitments the Task Force has agreed upon, including:
- Addressing potential bias in the use of technology-based valuation tools through rulemaking.
- Expanding regulatory agency examination procedures of mortgage lenders to include identification of patterns of appraisal bias.
- Requiring appraisal anti-bias, fair housing, and fair lending training for all appraisers who conduct appraisals for federal programs.
Putting it Into Practice: This is a far-reaching proposal that figures to have a profound impact on the home appraisal and residential lending industries and is intended to respond with concrete actions to eliminate bias and advance equity in home appraisals. The Action Plan is the latest indicator that federal regulators intend to scrutinize fair housing and fair lending issues, including discriminatory home valuations (we discussed the CFPB's efforts to prevent algorithmic bias in automated home valuation models in a recent Consumer Finance and FinTech blog post here). Residential home lenders are cautioned to carefully review their appraisal practices and address potential bias in their automated and manual processes.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

HONOLULU (AP) — A Hawaii couple have dropped their petition for a temporary restraining order against actor Ezra Miller, known for playing “The Flash” in “Justice League” films.
According to court documents, a judge dismissed the case Monday after the couple requested it.
William Dean, a lawyer who represents the couple, declined comment Tuesday on why his clients no longer want to pursue the petition that accused Miller of bursting into their bedroom and threatening them in Hilo, the Big Island town where Miller was arrested for allegedly harassing patrons at a karaoke bar.
A judge had granted the restraining order petition, saying it was needed to prevent future harassment and had set a hearing for Wednesday. It’s unclear if the hearing will be held now that the case is dismissed.
A hearing is scheduled for April 26 on Miller’s arrest. There is also a hearing scheduled for Tuesday in a separate case involving an alleged traffic violation for Miller in Hilo.
Francis Alcain, Miller’s Hilo attorney for all three cases, declined to comment on Tuesday.

For Marco Cucolo’s mother Lina, Lory Del Santo in reality is not like we are seeing her on the Island.
Lory Del Santo is participating inIsland of the Famous paired with boyfriend Marco Cucolo. The two who ended up on televoting were eliminated and ended up in Playa Sgamada which welcomes couples who have been beaten on televoting.
But it was above all the behavior of Lory towards the boyfriend. From the start, the woman seemed to have some influence on the young man’s behavior. Marco appeared almost succubus, unable to speak out about her without the presence of his girlfriend who was several years older than her.
In addition to this, many on the Island have criticized Lory’s behavior considered false and as a strategist. Marco’s mother also thought about adding fuel to the fire, saying: “Lory is not like that in reality, she is playing!”- thus giving reason to the suspects.
The Lady Lina then interviewed by the weekly New one increased the dose by declaring:
“In private the couple is very different. In public they tease and Lory makes him look like a doll. But in daily life there is great understanding between them. They are an established couple. Neither she nor my son would have dragged on for over nine years in a relationship that doesn’t work. “
One of its bitter rivals was Roberta Morise. The last eliminated from the island commenting on the incompatibility with Lory said: “I see it as a bit tough, but never say never. There have never been so many problems between us, it is really a character incompatibility so I really think not “.
“For Lory I feel only esteem. But there is, we can’t love everyone “ – the words from Morise.
We will see if in the next few weeks Marco will be able to free himself from the influence of a well-known and famous partner like Lory and will be able to show himself completely for what he is. Certainly the young inexperienced in certain television mechanisms, he is in danger of being obscured by the bulky presence of Lory Del Santo.

Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya has been called one of the ‘classless persons to play cricket’ after he was seen allegedly abusing his senior Mohammad Shami during their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday.
Gujarat Titans lost their match against Hyderabad by eight wickets. Hardik Pandya was the top scorer of his side as he remained not out at 50 from 42 balls. However, his team could only score 162-7 in 20 overs.
As Sunrisers Hyderabad began their run chase, they did not look in trouble in chasing the target. Pandya looked in distress all through the match and vented his frustration at his senior teammate Mohammad Shami.
This was after Rahul Tripathi hit Pandya in the third man region as the ball went to Shami. Pandya lost his cool accusing Shami of not trying to go for the catch. Fans shared the video of his outbursts accusing the Gujarat Titans skipper of abusing Shami, who’s his senior Team India colleague.
Pandya, who played for Mumbai Indians until last year, had joined the newly formed Gujarat Titans last year and was named the IPL franchise’s captain. Many fans felt that Pandya did not deserve to be the captain and lacked the maturity and class to do justice to the role of captaincy.
Others said that the player from Gujarat was a serial offender and had misbehaved with another teammate David Miller in the previous match.
Hardik Pandya has to be one of the most classless person to play cricket.
he has shouted on miller,shami, nalkande till now.
such a crass sportsman.#SRHvGT— UT (@pu_7082) April 11, 2022
Hardik Pandya abusive reaction to Shami was not in good sports in today's match when shami decided to stop four instead of attempting catch at boundary. Shami must have felt insulting.

Last day @hardikpandya7 did the same with @DavidMillerSA12. He is showing attitude to all his team mates.
The attitude which he is showing like a "boss". He can be a "boss" but can never be a "leader".
Feel sad for legend @MdShami11 #IPL #unacademyAsktheExperts pic.twitter.com/dN2zpepbxo— Mashaal Pashteen (@MashaalPashteen) April 11, 2022
Dear @hardikpandya7 Try to respect your seniors.@MdShami11 is a Legend of India cricket team.#Shami #HardikPandya

Remember!

— Rahulsarsar (@Rahulsarsar177) April 11, 2022
In 2019, Pandya had to face considerable flak from cricket fans, who accused him of being disrespectful to Zaheeer Khan, one of the greatest fast-bowlers India has produced.
This was after Hardik had shared a video clip of a match while wishing Zaheer on his birthday, where he was seen hitting the former India bowler for a six. He had written, “Happy birthday Zak … Hope you smash it out of the park like I did here.”
But, Zaheer Khan had decided to shut Pandya up by posting a terse reply. He had written, “Hahahaha….thank you for the wishes @hardikpandya7 my batting skills can never be as good as yours but the birthday was as good as the next delivery you faced from me in this match.”

SNG has always prided itself in being a leader in the industry and being on the cutting-edge in offering transcendent services, and equipment.

Two ultra-light models will be offered – Ultra-Light Standard supports an individual up to 220 lbs., and the Ultra-Light XL has a capacity of 350 lbs. The frame of the standard wheelchair weighs only 13.5lbs, while the XL's frame is just over 15lbs. The seat widths of the Standard and XL are 18" and 22" wide respectively. The ultra-light models, made of unique luxurious materials, offer pop-off wheels, which allow each of the wheelchairs to be easily transported in any vehicle, while also being able to easily propel and push.
In addition to being ultra-light, the wheelchairs feature wheel locks, located in the front of the frame allowing accessibility by the individual in the seat. This prevents the wheelchair from rolling forward or backward. The handbrakes are highlighted by an integrated braking system which provide the family member, friend, and/or caregiver control, security, and convenience.

An explosion ripped through a building in southern Lebanon early on Tuesday, killing one person and wounding several others, a security official said.
The blast in the town of Banaafoul, near the port city of Sidon, demolished the building that had served as the local authority headquarters and a scout centre for the Shiite Amal militia, headed by parliament speaker Nabih Berri.
According to the security official, the dead person was the son of the town’s mayor.
Five people were injured, the official said. It was not clear what triggered the blast, which also damaged nearby buildings and cars.
The official said the explosion may have been caused by diesel fuel stored inside the building.
Other unconfirmed reports said the building contained a weapons cache. Army personnel sealed off the building as they searched through the rubble.
Samira Mustafa, whose nearby house was damaged, said she saw smoke and the sound of popping before the explosion.
“I ran as stones fell on my head,” she said.
Such explosions are not uncommon in Lebanon, particularly in the country’s south, awash with weapons.
Late last year, arms stored for the Palestinian Hamas group exploded in a building in a Palestinian refugee camp in the south Lebanon port city of Tyre, injuring a dozen people.
Hamas denied it had kept weapons there and said the explosion was caused by oxygen tanks stored in the building.

In an effort to reduce food waste, the partnership will ensure food surplus donations are matched to local nonprofits in communities most in need
CHICAGO, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Getir, the pioneer of ultrafast grocery delivery, today announced it is partnering with Copia, a technology provider connecting food donations to local nonprofits in need. Through the collaboration, surplus food and groceries from Getir's stores will be delivered to select nonprofits across the New York City, Chicago, and Boston regions. The relationship will further Getir's mission to give back to local communities in the U.S., create a seamless turn-key solution to donate surplus food and help solve hunger issues while reducing the environmental impact of food waste.
In late 2021, Getir, the pioneer of ultra-fast grocery delivery, launched its operations in the U.S. in three cities, with plans to continue expansion in the coming year. Getir knew that alongside their rapid growth and scaling efforts, they needed a plan to give back, partner with local organizations, and extend their core value of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing food waste.
Every day, the U.S. wastes 3X more food than there are mouths to feed, proving that hunger is not a scarcity issue, but rather an ineffective redistribution of surplus food. Over 38 million Americans struggle with food insecurity every single year, and up to a staggering 40% of food in the U.S. is squandered. To solve this issue, Copia has built the underpinning technology to measure, manage, and strategically reduce food waste while ensuring any and all edible surplus food gets diverted to those most in need. With the increase in legislative requirements placed on foodservice businesses' to donate edible surplus food, Copia makes it easy to prove compliance. Copia's automated system allows Getir to manage full-circle logistics – scheduling food pickup times, organizing which foods to donate, staying compliant with local authorities, and managing tax benefits – as a crucial part of company operations. While Getir remains committed to helping solve food insecurity issues, the impact of food waste also takes a tremendous toll on the environment as well.
"From the top down, the Getir team is excited to help divert some of the 108 billion pounds of food per year that otherwise gets left in environmentally toxic landfills. Throughout all locations in our three operational cities, the wider Getir team - delivery riders, managers, customers and local communities – have embraced this partnership with Copia," says Langston Dugger, Head of Operations at Getir. "Working with Copia is a perfect way for Getir to further strengthen our environmental mission in tandem with adding positive food benefits to local citizens."
Since launching with Copia in March of 2022, Getir has already donated 7,485 pounds of edible food, delivered 6,238 meals to local nonprofits, saved 741K gallons of water, and diverted 33.5K pounds of CO2 emissions.
"Copia makes it easy and beneficial for businesses to reduce their food waste and donate their surplus to communities in need. Partnering with Getir, a leader in the last-mile grocery fulfillment segment, is an exciting and strategic expansion for Copia's technology," says CEO of Copia, Kimberly Smith. "We are proud to support Getir's commitment to making a positive social and environmental impact as well as introducing visibility into a new sector of their supply chain."
The Dwelling Place, a nonprofit in New York that provides safe shelter, individualized care, support, and guidance to homeless women as they build a sustainable, self-supported lifestyle is grateful for the recent donations from Getir and Copia. Deborah Pollack, administrative director at the Dwelling Place shares, "We received our first delivery from Getir over the weekend! The donation was amazing. It included avocados (which we love), strawberries, and more. The items serve a very different and crucial component to our services by supplementing our pantry bags. This allows us to support more of the community by sending those in need home with food. The healthy items were great and our community members were so grateful."
Getir is the pioneer of ultrafast grocery delivery. The tech company, based in Istanbul, has revolutionized last-mile delivery with its "groceries in minutes" delivery proposition, offering approximately 2,000 everyday items to its customers. Getir has operations in all 81 cities of Turkey and launched operations in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and the United States in 2021.
Getir is, first and foremost, a technology company that operates in retail and logistics. It was founded in 2015 by Nazim Salur (founder of BiTaksi, Turkey's leading taxi app), Serkan Borancili (founder of GittiGidiyor which was acquired by eBay in 2011) and Tuncay Tutek (ex-PepsiCo and P&G executive in Europe & the Middle East).
Copia is helping people in need and reducing carbon emissions by making it easy and beneficial to reduce waste and donate surplus. Copia's technology is the first fully automated waste tracking, prevention, and surplus redistribution platform. The easy-to-use app creates operational consistency and ensures that every donation is matched and delivered to a nonprofit in need. Through Copia's robust and actionable data, food donors are better able to inform business decisions, celebrate positive social and environmental impact, write-off meaningful tax deductions, and show legislative compliance. Copia is not only making it simple and profitable for businesses to do the right thing, but they're democratizing food access and equity for all.

VERNON – Far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Tuesday described France as a nation that would put its people’s voices at the center of the political process if she is elected president in 12 days.
Le Pen, a solid nationalist, faces centrist President Emmanuel Macron in a presidential runoff on April 24. He placed first and Le Pen second in Sunday’s first-round presidential vote that eliminated 10 other candidates. Both Le Pen and Macron are now aggressively campaigning to win an election that could upend France’s system of governance and Europe’s dynamics should Le Pen be victorious.
In a dramatic change, new laws could be passed or old laws modified in a referendum proposed by citizens, with conditions such as 500,000 signatures backing the proposal . Such a system was demanded two years ago by the sometimes violent yellow vest movement for social and economic justice that challenged Macron's government as being too business-friendly.
In Sunday’s first round of voting for the country's next president, the far-right, including Le Pen and two other parties, together won 32% of the vote, compared to Macron’s 27.8% support, although he was the top individual candidate. Still, that means far-right voters can be expected to factor into France’s political future not just in the next two weeks, but for years, even if Le Pen loses.
Le Pen also wants two-thirds of the 577 seats in France's lower house of parliament to be allotted by the proportional system to better reflect voters' choices. Her anti-immigration National Rally party currently holds 8 seats.
Le Pen claimed that democracy would be the main beneficiary of these changes, giving citizens who represent what she calls “the France of the forgotten” a say in how they are governed.
Having referendums can contribute to France's democratic culture, Le Pen said Tuesday at a news conference in the Normandy town of Vernon. A small crowd of local opponents cried “Facist!” while supporters shouted back “Marine, president!” as she left the hotel to meet the press.
“During my mandate, I count on consulting the only expert that Emmanuel Macron never consulted —the people,” Le Pen said.
Le Pen would also return the French presidency to a seven-year non-renewable mandate, instead of the current five-year term that can be renewed once.
"I want to be the president who gives back the people their voice in their own country,” she said.
The French Constitution would have to be revised to make possible the referendum concept possible, and vital subjects like nuclear power could not be put to a vote.
Also needing a constitutional change would be Le Pen’s plan, if elected, to ban Islamic headscarves in French streets. That's a big step further than current laws, which ban headscarves in classrooms since 2004 and face-coverings in the streets since 2010. With an estimated 5 million Muslims in France, headscarves are commonly worn by many Muslim women.
“We must leave no space, not a thumb space,” for Islamists, Le Pen said, adding that she wants to “liberate” French Muslim women from the yoke of radicals.
France has faced several deadly attacks by Islamic extremists in the past decade, including the 2015 Paris attacks that left 130 people dead.

Qbot operators have returned to the fray and this time on Windows installers with malware. Its goal is to infect systems by installing malware payloads in emails. The tactic that Qbot uses now to infect our computers is different from the one that he has used in different events in the last years.
As cybersecurity researchers have discovered, and as reported to Bleeping Computer, the malware arrives via phishing emails that download Microsoft Office documents with malicious files on the devices where it is installed.
The Redmond firm had said in February that it would make it more difficult to activate Microsoft Office VBA or Visual Basic for Applications macros. This protection tool was launched this month and therefore researchers believe the new Qbot is an answer to this change.
In February we already published how the company announced new measures to hinder the spread of malware such as disabling Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros by default in documents downloaded from the web, a move that affects all of its products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Visio.
‘Sgroogled.com’: when MICROSOFT launched ANTI-GOOGLE ads
Microsoft’s efforts against malware
In late 2021, Microsoft claimed to have discovered many “malicious macros” in Office documents (belonging to Excel 4.0 macros), which were targeted by attackers. To evade security detection systems, threat actors make use of Excel 4.0 macros. However, to run them properly, you will need to manually enable them, as Microsoft disabled them by default.
Thanks to this, widespread phishing schemes have been affecting Office applications. The tactic is also intended to prevent cybercriminals from are invaded by various malware such as TrickBot, Emotet and Qbotto name a few.
Tips to protect yourself
Taking into account that the new version of Qbot arrives in the form of phishing, you must carry out the basic recommendations to avoid phishing infections. Taking into account Microsoft’s efforts to prevent this malware, you should keep the latest version of Windows up to date, whether it is Windows 10 that is still supported, or Windows 11.
Also avoid downloading files without really knowing their origin or confirming with the sender that they have really sent you that document or link. The Internet Security Office has an online game so that users can identify a phishing-type attack so as not to fall into traps.
Qbot was first known in 2007
Qbot is a well-known malware that attacked Windows in 2007 for the first known time. When it infiltrates the system, it can gain access to the user’s financial information, as well as to some confidential details such as password and email address.
A large number of dangerous cybercriminal groups have already used it, including REvil, MegaCortex, PwndLocker, ProLock and more ransomware gangs.
In November 2021 we talked about attacks that take advantage of phishing campaigns that manage to hijack responses to internal email chains, are being used to hack Microsoft Exchange servers via the ProxyShell and ProxyLogon exploits. Campaigns of this type have been detected by installing Trojans such as Qbot or even the famous Emotet.

Gilbert Gottfried, standup comic and actor, dies at 67
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gilbert Gottfried, the actor and legendary standup comic known for his raw, scorched voice and crude jokes, has died. He was 67.
Gottfried died from recurrent ventricular tachycardia due to myotonic dystrophy type II, a disorder that affects the heart, his publicist and longtime friend Glenn Schwartz said in a statement.
“In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children. Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor,” his family said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Gottfried was a fiercely independent and intentionally bizarre comedian’s comedian, as likely to clear a room with anti-comedy as he was to kill with his jokes.
He first came to national attention with frequent appearances on MTV in its early days and with a brief stint in the cast of “Saturday Night Live” in the 1980s.
Gottfried also did frequent voice work for children’s television and movies, most famously playing the parrot Iago in Disney’s “Aladdin.”
He was particularly fond of doing obscure and dated impressions for as long as he could milk them, including Groucho Marx, Bela Lugosi and Andrew “Dice” Clay.
In his early days at the club the Comedy Store in Hollywood, the managers would have him do his impression of then-little-known Jerry Seinfeld at the end of the night to get rid of lingering patrons.
Gottfried was especially beloved by his fellow comedians and performers.
“I am so sad to read about the passing of Gilbert Gottfried,” actor Marlee Matlin said on Twitter. “Funny, politically incorrect but a softie on the inside. We met many times; he even pranked me on a plane, replacing my interpreter.”
“Seinfeld” actor Jason Alexander tweeted that “Gilbert Gottfried made me laugh at times when laughter did not come easily. What a gift.”
Gottfried was born in Brooklyn, the son of a hardware store owner and a stay-at-home mom. He began doing amateur standup at age 15.
“Gilbert’s brand of humor was brash, shocking and frequently offensive, but the man behind the jokes was anything but,” Gottfried’s friend and podcast co-host Frank Santopadre said in a statement. “Those who loved and him were fortunate enough to share his orbit knew a person who was sweet, sensitive, surprisingly shy and filled with a childlike sense of playfulness and wonder.”
Gottfried is survived by his wife Dara, sister Karen, 14-year-old daughter Lily and 12-year-old son Max.
“In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children. Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor,” his family said in a statement posted on Twitter.

In the squad’s busiest portion of the season, the Houston High School softball team went 3-2 in stretch featuring 5 games in 5 days last week.
The Lady Tigers began the flurry with a 4-2 loss to Mansfield Tuesday in Houston and continued with a 14-4 win over Liberty in the South Central Association conference opener Thursday at Mountain View. Then at the annual Conway Tournament on Saturday, Houston opened the 4-team round robin event with a 5-2 win over Hartville, but then fell to College Heights Christian (of Joplin) 5-1 before beating host Conway 11-4.
Both teams scored twice in the first inning of the tournament contest against Hartville. The Lady Tigers then put the game away with 3 runs in the bottom of the fourth.
The decisive frame included only 1 hit – an RBI double by junior Aliyah Walker – but was fueled by a hit batter and two crucial errors by Lady Eagles fielders.
Houston’s offense produced 8 hits in the contest, with junior lead-off batter Karlee Curtis going 2-for-3 with a stolen base and 2 runs scored.
Sophomore Kelsey Pritchett started in the pitcher’s circle for the Lady Tigers and went 5 1/3 innings, allowing only 2 hits and no earned runs to earn the win.
Against College Heights Christian, the Lady Tigers managed only 2 hits off of Lady Cougars sophomore hurler Madelyn Colin, who didn’t allow an earned run while striking out 12 and walking only 2.
Walker did the pitching for Houston and held her own, working all 6 innings in the game and allowing 7 hits while fanning 8 and walking 4.
Host Conway took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning of the wrap-up contest, but the Lady Tigers answered with 5 runs in the bottom of the frame and never looked back.
Houston had only 6 hits in the win, including a 2-run homer by Curtis during the second inning rally (the first dinger of her career). But the Lady Tigers took full advantage of 7 walks, and were also aided by 5 errors committed by Lady Bears fielders.
Houston senior Mackenzie Holder and junior Mackenzie Bryan each had RBI doubles in the contest.
“It was kind of an up-and-down day for us,” said HHS head coach Jim Moore. “We played good defense all day long, but our bats didn’t really come alive until the last game.”
The Lady Tigers took second in the tournament, behind College Heights Christian (the 9th-ranked team in the latest Class 2 state poll).
“Playing them was good for us,” Moore said, “because when we talk about where we want to be at the end of the year, we’re going to have to beat teams like that. It was good for us to see that we can definitely compete with them.”
LOTS OF RUNNERS, NOT MANY RUNS
Against Mansfield, the Lady Tigers had 8 hits and plenty of scoring opportunities, but left 12 runners on base.
Senior shortstop Hannah Dzurick went 2-for-3 with the bat and drove in a run to tie the score at 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning.
Pritchett smashed a lead-off triple in the bottom of the seventh inning and scored on a single by sophomore right fielder Rhease Manier.
Walker tossed a complete game for Houston, allowing 9 hits and 3 earned runs while striking out 7 and walking 3.
Senior Madison Ivy pitched a complete game for the visiting Lady Lions, scattering 8 hits while striking out 7 and allowing 2 walks. Ivy also had a big day at the plate. She smacked an RBI double off the left field fence in the top of the first inning, and blasted the ball high over the fence in center field for a solo home run in the fifth frame that put Mansfield ahead 3-1.
The final spread might have been even greater, but after the Lady Lions loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the seventh inning, Walker pitched her way out of the jam with two strikeouts and an infield pop fly.
Houston loaded the bases twice, only to come away with a single run.
“I thought we really let one get away,” said HHS head coach Jim Moore. “We had so many opportunities to break that game open, but we didn’t get it done.”
CONFERENCE VICTORY
After each team scored a run in the first inning of the contest against Liberty, Houston put up 3 in the third frame and added 5 more in the fourth to take a commanding 9-1 lead.
The host Lady Eagles got a run in the bottom of the fourth, but the Lady Tigers scored 5 more runs in the top of the fifth inning and coasted home to the victory.
Junior right fielder Maddy Riley had a breakout game at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a triple, a double, an RBI and 2 runs scored.
Riley’s double was one of three extra base hits smacked by the Lady Tigers during the decisive fourth-inning rally, as Dzurick and senior third baseman Mali Brookshire each had a double.
Pritchett did the pitching for Houston and worked all 5 innings, giving up only 1 hit and no earned runs while fanning 9 and issuing 3 walks.
Houston (8-3 through last Saturday) hosts big SCA matchups Thursday against Ava and Monday against Willow Springs. The Lady Tigers continue a four-game home stand next week by hosting Eminence on Tuesday and facing Salem in a big SCA contest on Thursday.
“We’re looking forward to competing and seeing where we’re at,” Moore said.
For the first time ever, all eight SCA squads are playing spring ball. While nothing will be decided, the winner of Thursday’s game with Ava will be in the driver’s seat in terms of pursuit of the conference crown.
“We’ve had that one circled on the calendar for a while,” Moore said. “That’s a big one.”

LONDON: Some British MPs may end the practice of meeting constituents in person following the murder of MP David Amess last year, House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle told BBC Radio 4.
Amess was stabbed to death in October by 26-year-old Londoner Ali Harbi Ali, who is said to have been inspired by Daesh.
Ali faces a life sentence on April 13 after his earlier conviction. After just 18 minutes in court, a jury found him guilty of murder and preparing acts of terrorism.
Hoyle said in the wake of the murder, some MPs may choose stricter security arrangements such as contacting constituents by phone or online.
He added that there are a range of measures to support MPs and that “terrorism is never going to win.”
Hoyle told the BBC: “‘I’ve got to say to my colleagues, you must do what you feel safe with. That might be that you do it via Microsoft Teams, it might be that you do it via phones.
“Others, like myself, will carry on meeting constituents. But it’s doing it in a very safe environment. That’s the key to all this. We’re constituency-based MPs. Our constituents love to come with their problems and issues.
“That’s what we’re elected to do. But we must do it safely because we have a duty of care, not just to ourselves, but to the staff and the people who come to see us. We mustn’t put them at risk, so it must be done in a safe environment.” Hoyle stressed that the decision “must be the choice of the MP.”
Following the murder last October, which was the latest killing of an MP after that of Jo Cox in 2016, Hoyle demanded an “end to hatred against MPs and a kinder form of political discourse.”
He said: “It’s about the respect of politicians, it’s building trust with constituents, it’s getting them to believe in us and working with them.
“In the end, the attack took place because these people don’t believe in the values of our democracy.”

WASHINGTON, Apr 12: The US has not yet made any decision on potential sanctions or waivers to India under CATSAA law for its purchase of the S-400 missile defence system from Russia, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.
The US administration is required under its domestic law, Countering America’s Adversaries through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) to impose sanctions on any country that has significant transactions with Iran, North Korea or Russia.
CAATSA is a tough US law that authorises the administration to impose sanctions on countries that purchase major defence hardware from Russia in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its alleged meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections.
“We continue to urge all countries to avoid major new transactions for Russian weapons systems, particularly in light of what Russia is doing to Ukraine. We’ve not yet made a determination on potential sanctions or potential waivers under the CATSAA law,” Blinken said.
Blinken’s comments came during a joint news conference with Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin along with their Indian counterparts –External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh after the 2+2 Ministerial here on Monday.
He was responding to a question on India purchasing the S-400 missile system from Russia.
In October 2018, India signed a USD 5 billion deal with Russia to buy five units of the S-400 air defence missile systems, despite a warning from the then Trump administration that going ahead with the contract may invite US sanctions.
The US has already imposed sanctions on Turkey under the CAATSA for the purchase of a batch of S-400 missile defence systems from Russia.
Following the US sanctions on Turkey over the procurement of S-400 missile systems, there were apprehensions that Washington may impose similar punitive measures on India.
Russia has been one of India’s key major suppliers of arms and ammunition.
Blinken noted that there is a long history and a long relationship between India and Russia, including when it comes to military equipment.
“That relationship took hold many years ago at a time when, as I said, we were not able to be a partner to India,” he said.
“We are now both able and willing to be such a partner, to be a security partner of choice for India. That’s one of the areas that we discussed in some detail today,” he said.
The White House echoed Blinken’s view earlier in the day.
“In terms of military actions: So we have not made a decision about the waiver under CAATSA. In terms of how much it was discussed during the call, I’d have to get more details from our national security team on that specifically,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in response to a question.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters that the US has a strong defence partnership with India.
“We are going to continue to look for ways to deepen that defence partnership. India is an important partner in the region, in the Indo-Pacific region, and we’re going to continue to look for ways to improve that partnership,” he said.
“And India should be able to speak for their own national policies with respect to what’s going on in Russia and Ukraine. We’ve been very honest about where we are on this and the actions we’re taking and the things that we’re doing, but the other things that we’re doing are looking for ways to make sure we deepen that partnership with India,” he said at his news conference at the Pentagon.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks ended slightly lower on Wall Street Tuesday after investors weighed new data showing some signs that inflation slowed slightly in March, though overall it remained at its highest level in 40 years.
The S&P 500 fell 0.3% after having been up 1.3% earlier in the day. The pullback extends the benchmark index's losing streak to a third day, reflecting investors' worries about the potential economic collateral damage as the Federal Reserve tackles high inflation more aggressively.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite each fell 0.3% after shedding early gains.
The indexes initially rallied following the release of the report, which showed inflation last month was again at its highest level in generations, driven by soaring gasoline prices in particular. Still, the reading was relatively close to economists' expectations.
Another faint silver lining was that inflation wasn't as bad as economists expected, when ignoring the costs of food and fuel. Known as “core inflation,” this is the reading that the Federal Reserve pays more attention to when setting policy because it’s less volatile. And core inflation on a month-over-month basis moderated to its slowest level since September.
“Hopefully this is as bad as it gets,” said Brian Jacobsen, senior investment strategist at Allspring Global Investments.
“The risk is that a red hot labor market grows cold under the force of those higher food, fuel, and financing costs. This is a time when economic resilience will be tested.”
The S&P 500 fell 15.08 points to 4,397.45. The Dow fell 87.72 points to 34,220.36, and the Nasdaq lost 40.38 points to 13,371.57.
Smaller company stocks held up better than the broader market. The Russell 2000 rose 6.61 points, or 0.3%, to 1,986.94.
Stocks in recent days have been trading in the opposite direction of Treasury yields, which have climbed to their highest levels since well before the pandemic. Yields jumped as investors brace for the Federal Reserve to hike short-term rates at a faster pace than typical and to aggressively pare its trove of bonds, whose buildup helped keep longer-term rates low.
But Treasury yields pulled back on Tuesday following the inflation report. The 10-year yield slid to 2.72% from 2.77% late Monday. It was as high as 2.83% overnight, before the inflation report’s release. The 10-year yield nevertheless remains well above the 1.51% level where it began the year.
Stocks elsewhere around the world closed lower or mixed, as unease continues to hang over markets about the war in Ukraine, Chinese efforts to contain COVID outbreaks and where inflation and interest rates are heading.
The price of U.S. crude oil climbed 6.7% to settle at $100.60, keeping the pressure on high inflation. Brent crude, the international standard, rose 6.3% to settle at $104.64.
Higher interest rates from the Federal Reserve would slow the economy, which would hopefully knock down high inflation. Consumer prices were 8.5% higher in March than a year earlier, accelerating from February’s 7.9% inflation rate and the highest since 1981. To bring it down, the Fed revealed in the minutes from its latest meeting that it’s prepared to hike short-term rates by half a percentage point, double the usual amount, at some upcoming meetings, something it hasn't done since 2000.
The worry is the Federal Reserve may be so aggressive about hiking interest rates that it forces the economy into a recession.
Higher interest rates also put downward pressure on all kinds of investments, with those seen as the most expensive hardest hit. That's because when investors are earning more in interest to own relatively safe bonds, they're less willing to pay higher prices for riskier stocks. Technology and other high-growth stocks that have been some of the stock market's biggest recent winners have been in the spotlight in particular.
On Tuesday, technology stocks were among the biggest drags on S&P 500, along with health care and financial companies. Microsoft fell 1.1%, Pfizer lost 1.5% and Wells Fargo slid 1.8%.
Energy companies and retailers were among the sectors that notched gains. Marathon Oil rose 4.2% and Ross Stores rose 2.5%.
More swings may be in store for stocks as companies prepare to report their earnings for the first three months of the year. Delta Air Lines, JPMorgan Chase and other big-name companies will kick off the reporting season on Wednesday.
A key focus for investors during the latest round of earnings will be any sign of consumers pulling back on spending and how companies reacted, said Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager and lead portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions.
“It all boils down to their margins and how are companies deal with rising costs,” Janasiewicz said.
Earnings were able to stay at record levels through the end of last year as companies raised prices for their products and services enough to protect their profit margins. But the further acceleration of inflation may be straining that formula.
Used car dealership chain CarMax slumped 9.5% after reporting disappointing earnings. The company said high prices for cars were discouraging buyers.
While they can swing sharply for many reasons in the short term, stock prices tend to track the path of corporate profits over the long term.

Springfield leaders will host a community forum on Wednesday to discuss plans to clean up the Tremont City Barrel Fill, which contains hundreds of thousands of gallons of toxins that threaten the area’s drinking water supply.
The public is invited to the forum, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the cafetorium of Springfield High School, 701 E. Home Road.
The barrel fill is in a 8.5-acre portion of a closed landfill at 3108 Snyder Domer Road in German Twp., about 1.5 miles west of Tremont City and 3.5 miles northwest of Springfield.
Approximately 51,500 drums and about 300,000 gallons of industrial liquid chemicals were disposed of in waste cells between 1976 and 1979 at the site, according to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The barrel fill is being addressed under that agency’s Superfund alternative approach.
Local leaders on Wednesday will discuss next steps regarding the cleanup.
The conversation and information shared by community leaders will include next steps regarding the proposed cleanup plans and what residents can expect in the near future. However, it may be a year or longer before the actual cleanup starts.
“We are at least a year away from any shovel in the dirt out there, at least,” said Springfield City Commissioner Dave Estrop.
The barrel fill had been a source of major frustration over the years for many public officials. It contained chemicals dumped decades ago and is near an aquifer that provides drinking water to thousands of people in the community.
The main concern is chemicals getting into nearby ground water and the aquifer itself, which provides drinking water to private and public wells. Springfield’s drinking water comes from the aquifer and is filtered by the city.
“These landfills are traditionally known to be problem sources, especially if they were the site for the disposal of industrial waste,” said Abinash Agrawal, a professor of Environmental Sciences at Wright State University, has said.

Ill. Dept. of Public Health adopts new federal guidelines for reporting COVID-19 data
ILLINOIS (KFVS) - The Illinois Department of Public Health is adopting new federal guidelines for tracking COVID-19 at the community level.
According to the department, new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines emphasize the case rate and hospitalizations in order to better track the virus in communities.
As a result of the new guidelines, testing providers will no longer be required to report some negative tests and IDPH will therefore no longer report test and case positivity.
In addition, IDPH will add new data to its COVID-19 dashboard, including:
- Updated data on vaccination rates to reflect the full population eligible as eligibility continues to evolve.
- The number of people admitted to the hospital with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
- More detailed data on hospitalizations, including information about vaccination status in those who are hospitalized.
“Test and case positivity rates were seen as a good way to monitor the level of community spread early in the pandemic,” said IDPH Acting Director Amaal Tokars. “At this stage, now that we have vaccines and effective therapies available, it is more useful to rely on data that indicates the case rate, disease severity and the level of strain on healthcare system to guide our public health recommendations.”
The CDC announced in March that is relying on these three metrics to determine the community level of COVID-19 and to classify it as low, medium or high:
- Total new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past 7 days.
- New COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 population in the past 7 days.
- The percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients.
IDPH officials noted that case rates for COVID-19 are now slowly rising in many areas of the state. However, hospitalizations and deaths continue to remain low at this time.

STEPHEN GLOVER: Boris Johnson was right to say sorry over Partygate, but his enemies should get a grip - this was no bacchanalian orgy
No one should be surprised that Labour, the Lib Dems and the Scottish Nationalists are clamouring for Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak to resign after they were fined for attending an illegal party during the Covid pandemic.
They would, wouldn’t they? It is what one would expect opposition parties to say. They are bound to react as they have, though the contention of Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the Labour Party, that there is ‘widespread criminality at the heart of Downing Street’ seems wildly over the top.
All the same, it would be silly to deny that many decent people, including loyal Tory voters, will be shocked and dismayed that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom should be the first occupant of No 10 to be fined for breaking the law. This can’t be dismissed as a storm in a tea cup.
But should Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak be hounded out of office? I don’t believe so. We ought to examine the evidence in a proportionate way.
Nor can we ignore the fact that Ukraine is embroiled in a war with Russia which could spread further, and that the Prime Minister is playing a pivotal role among leading Western nations in standing up to Vladimir Putin’s mad aggression.
Boris reads from his apology speech after receiving a find for attending a party during lockdown. He may be facing further penalties for his breach of the law
The case against him is, of course, serious. At various junctures during the pandemic, Mr Johnson enjoined the British — or at any rate the English — to observe the strictest lockdown rules.
People were harried by police for walking in the countryside, and in a few cases even fined for sitting on park benches.
As countless people will remind us over the next few days, some were forbidden to visit their dying relatives in hospitals or in care homes, or even to attend the funerals of their nearest and dearest.
Why couldn’t the politicians who insisted on these draconian and — I would argue — excessive restrictions be bothered to observe them themselves? It is a fair question.
But here we should remember proportionality. For the most part, Boris Johnson, his wife Carrie (who has also been fined) and Rishi Sunak did, so far as we know, observe the same laws as everyone else.
They did not visit sick relatives in care homes or attend funerals or break other important Covid rules.
The same is almost certainly true of the 200-odd people who worked at No 10 and No 11 throughout the pandemic.
With a few exceptions, they were probably as punctilious as the rest of us in following the restrictions.
One of those who didn’t obey them was the Prime Minister’s then chief adviser, Dominic Cummings, who in April 2020 undertook a 60-mile round trip in County Durham in what was a blatant contravention of Covid rules. Mr Johnson was wrong to forgive him so easily. It was a bad example.
What the Prime Minister and Rishi Sunak and Carrie Johnson did do — and it is not an insignificant matter — is to attend one party, and very possibly others, in Downing Street, in common with people who worked there.
Most of them presumably believed, though this is less easy to say of Carrie, who is not on the Government payroll, that they were relaxing at their place of work, often in the garden.
In other words, those who get on their high horse over Boris and the goings-on in No 10 often do so on a false equivalence.
Having a drink at work after a long day was against Covid rules, and therefore reprehensible, but such behaviour scarcely constituted an egregious offence. That is what I mean about proportionality.
Moreover, the specific misdemeanour for which Boris and Rishi have received a fixed penalty — attending what sounds like an impromptu birthday party for the Prime Minister in June 2020 not long after he had nearly died of Covid — doesn’t sound like a bacchanalian orgy.
Sharing a fine with Rishi Sunak is to Boris' advantage, writes Stephen Glover. It will help the Prime Minister's image by comparison
The PM, according to No 10, was only there for nine minutes. As for the unfortunate Chancellor, he seems to have arrived towards the end of the festivities in the expectation of attending a Covid meeting.
It does not seem a very serious offence on the part of either man. Indeed, Mr Sunak’s conduct sounds blameless.
Incidentally, sharing a charge sheet with Rishi is to Boris’s advantage. For who can doubt that the teetotal Chancellor is a restrained and well-behaved individual who is not in the habit of throwing caution to the wind and partying at all times of the day and night?
Note, too, that one of those recently fined by the Metropolitan Police over the Partygate affair was Helen MacNamara, a senior civil servant who was in charge of ‘propriety and ethics’, no less. Is she an irresponsible and venal person? I very much doubt it.
I expect she was (she has now left government service) a decent and generally law-abiding public servant who failed to observe the sometimes blurred distinction between work and relaxation.
The main lesson I draw from all this is that never again should any British government enact extreme legislation during a pandemic, or presume to micro-manage our lives in such an overbearing manner.
It was a natural thing to want to enjoy a responsible drink after work, perhaps especially so during a pandemic, and that tolerance and understanding should have been explicitly extended to the rest of us.
Members of Keir Starmer's Labour party and the Scottish National Party are clamouring for Boris Johnson to resign after he confirmed he had paid the police fine. But should he?
In short, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak were behaving in a human way. If this case causes them to reflect on the excessive severity of the restrictions which they and other ministers promulgated, that for me would be a very desirable outcome.
What should happen now? The Prime Minister may possibly face further penalties from the Metropolitan Police in respect of other parties at No 10.
It is a very unsatisfactory state of affairs — in the midst of a major war — to leave the Government (and therefore the country) in a state of suspension.
Why can’t the Met make up its mind and bring this saga to a conclusion? Who, following the departure of Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick, is making the decision to drag out this investigation in a way that is not only injurious to Boris Johnson, but could damage British interests at a time of war? And why focus first on a relatively innocuous party?
None of us knows what may happen in Ukraine, but there is a danger of a wider European conflagration in which this country will be involved.
To obsess about Partygate at such a time, while the Prime Minister’s enemies are shrieking for his scalp, is a sign of a trivial country with a warped sense of priorities. How Putin must be chuckling.
Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey attempts to stroke Mikee the cat after speaking with resident Kate Allden, while canvassing ahead of the local elections
Nonetheless, I hope this sorry episode makes the Prime Minister reflect on his behaviour.
Not for the first time in his life, he has been careless and undisciplined. He will face plausible accusations that he misled Parliament when he said that no rules had been broken in No 10. That turns out not to be true.
Boris Johnson rightly apologised yesterday. For his own and his party’s good, and in the interests of good government, he should convey even deeper contrition for what went on. And then let us at long last move on — and pray that there will be no repetition.

By JIM MUSTIAN, JENNIFER PELTZ and MICHAEL R. SISAK
NEW YORK (AP) — A gunman in a gas mask and a construction vest set off a smoke canister on a rush-hour subway train in Brooklyn and shot at least 10 people Tuesday, authorities said. Police were scouring the city for the shooter and found a rental truck possibly connected to the violence.
A scene of horror unfolded as frightened commuters ran from the train as others limped out of it. At least one rider collapsed on the platform.
“My subway door opened into calamity. It was smoke and blood and people screaming,” eyewitness Sam Carcamo told radio station 1010 WINS. Smoke poured out of the train car as the door opened, he added.
Five people were in critical condition but expected to survive. At least 29 in all were treated at hospitals for gunshot wounds, smoke inhalation and other conditions.
The gunfire erupted on a train that pulled into a station in the Sunset Park neighborhood, about a 15-minute ride from Manhattan and predominantly home to Hispanic and Asian communities.
Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said the attack was not being investigated as terrorism, but that she was “not ruling out anything.” The shooter’s motive was unknown.
Authorities gave officers a photo they believed to depict the gunman, and the Arizona license plate number of a U-Haul truck to look out for, two law enforcement officials said. By early evening, police found a matching, unoccupied U-Haul van in Brooklyn, one of the officials said.
Police were closing off a street about four miles from the shooting scene and clearing nearby businesses while awaiting a bomb squad and the highly specialized emergency services unit.
Investigators recovered a handgun at the scene, along with multiple smoke devices and other items they are analyzing, said the officials, who were not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. They said the suspect is believed to have had at least two extended magazines.
Investigators believe the weapon jammed, preventing the suspect from continuing to fire, the officials said. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has completed an urgent trace to identify the gun’s manufacturer, seller and initial owner.
The attack unnerved a city on guard about a rise in gun violence and the ever-present threat of terrorism. It left some New Yorkers jittery about riding the nation’s busiest subway system and prompted officials to increase policing at transportation hubs from Philadelphia to Connecticut.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced last fall that it had put security cameras in all 472 subway stations citywide, saying they would put criminals on an “express track to justice.” But the cameras apparently malfunctioned in the station where the train arrived, Mayor Eric Adams told WCBS-AM.
One rider’s video, shot through a closed door between subway cars, shows a person in a hooded sweatshirt raising an arm and pointing at something as five bangs sound. In another video, smoke and people pour out of a subway car, some limping.
“Someone call 911!” a person shouts.
Other video and photos from the scene show people tending to bloodied passengers lying on the platform — some amid what appear to be small puddles of blood — and another person on the floor of a subway car.
Rider Juliana Fonda, a broadcast engineer at WNYC-FM, told its news site Gothamist that passengers from the car behind hers started banging on the connecting door.
“There was a lot of loud pops, and there was smoke in the other car,” she said. “And people were trying to get in and they couldn’t, they were pounding on the door to get into our car.”
As police searched for the shooter, Gov. Kathy Hochul warned New Yorkers to be vigilant.
“This individual is still on the loose. This person is dangerous,” the Democrat said at a news conference just after noon. “This is an active shooter situation right now in the city of New York.”
Fire and police officials had responded to reports of an explosion, but Sewell said at the press conference that there were no known explosive devices. Multiple smoke devices were found on the scene, mayoral spokesperson Fabien Levy said.
After people streamed out of the train, quick-thinking transit workers ushered passengers to another train across the platform for safety, MTA system chief Janno Lieber noted.
High school student John Butsikaris was riding the other train when he saw a conductor urging everyone to get in. He thought it might be a mundane problem until the next stop, when he heard screams for medical attention and his train was evacuated.
“I’m definitely shook,” the 15-year-old told The Associated Press. “Even though I didn’t see what happened, I’m still scared, because it was like a few feet away from me, what happened.”
No transit workers were physically hurt, according to their union. Besides gunshot wounds, the injured riders were treated for smoke inhalation, shrapnel and panic.
In Menlo, Iowa, President Joe Biden praised “the first responders who jumped in action, including civilians, civilians, who didn’t hesitate to help their fellow passengers and tried to shield them.”
Adams, who is isolating following a positive COVID-19 test on Sunday, said in a video statement that the city “will not allow New Yorkers to be terrorized, even by a single individual.”
New York City has faced a spate of shootings and high-profile incidents in recent months, including on the city’s subways. One of the most shocking was in January, when a woman was pushed to her death in front of a train by a stranger.
Adams, a Democrat a little over 100 days into his term, has made cracking down on crime — especially on the subways — a focus of his early administration, pledging to send more police officers into stations and platforms for regular patrols. It wasn’t immediately clear whether officers were already inside the station when the shootings occurred.
Danny Mastrogiorgio of Brooklyn had just dropped his son off at school when he saw a crush of panicked passengers, some of them wounded, running up the stairway at the nearby 25th Street station. At least two had visible leg injuries, he said.
“It was insane,” he told the AP. “No one knew exactly what was going on.”
Allan Lee was running his business, Cafe Nube, when a half-dozen police cars and fire vehicles suddenly converged on the block that contains the 36th Street station.
“Then they started ushering people that were on the block to the adjacent block and then closed off the subway entrance,” Lee told the AP. When he noticed bomb squad officers and dogs, he was certain it was no everyday subway problem.

A £400 million project to upgrade the existing electricity infrastructure in the West Highlands is needed, according to Ofgem.
The project, which will upgrade power lines running from Fort Augustus to Skye, will now move on to the next stage of approvals, following the energy regulator’s approval.
Carried out by SSEN Transmission, the project is key to supporting plans to connect the electrical grid to renewable energy production plants across the UK.
It will also go towards helping the Scottish Government’s ambitious net-zero targets by enabling homegrown, low carbon electricity generation.
At an estimated cost of £400 million, the upgrade is the most significant investment in the West Highlands since power was first brought to the area in the 1950s.
Investment in the area will also help the local economy by hiring skilled workers throughout the construction phase and supply chain.
‘The Skye reinforcement project is needed to help meet the future energy needs.’
The Final Needs case remains on track to be submitted to Ofgem for regulatory approval in August 2022.
After this will be a financial assessment to determine how much money will be need for the project.
Rob McDonald, managing director of SSEN Transmission, responsible for electricity transmission throughout the north, said: “We welcome Ofgem’s confirmation that the Skye reinforcement project is needed to help meet the future energy needs in the area.
“We are excited to build on our heritage of powering the highlands and islands as we continue to deliver a network for net-zero emissions and secure future electricity supplies across the north of Scotland.”
“We now look forward to working constructively with Ofgem and wider stakeholders as we progress with the Final Needs Case to take forward our proposed solution.”

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): Weekly Epidemiological Update (12 April 2022)
Attachments
Global overview
Data as of 10 April 2022
Globally, during the week of 4 through 10 April 2022, the number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths has continued to decline for a third consecutive week, with over 7 million cases and over 22 000 deaths reported, a decrease of 24% and 18% respectively, as compared to the previous week (Figure 1).
All regions reported decreasing trends in the number of new weekly cases and deaths (Table 1). As of 10 April 2022, over 496 million confirmed cases and over 6 million deaths have been reported globally.
These trends should be interpreted with caution as several countries are progressively changing their COVID-19 testing strategies, resulting in lower overall numbers of tests performed and consequently lower numbers of cases detected.

PARIS, April 13 — Fifa on Tuesday announced the launch of its own digital platform that will offer live streaming of thousands of football matches as well as archive footage of the World Cup and a library of other material in a variety of languages.
The platform, named Fifa+, will show over 40,000 matches in 2022 including 11,000 women’s games, said world football’s governing body.
“From launch, 1,400 matches will be live streamed monthly on Fifa+, rising rapidly,” Fifa said.
It is making its entire archive from the men’s and women’s World Cups available to watch, “totalling more than 2,000 hours”.
The platform will also feature statistics, talk shows and documentaries, including a 90-minute documentary about former Brazil star Ronaldinho.
Fifa’s decision to launch its own streaming service comes with established platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime already investing heavily in sport-related content.
European football’s governing body Uefa launched its own streaming service, Uefa.tv, in 2019.
It offers archive footage as well as match highlights, notably from women’s tournaments and youth competitions. — AFP

\\section * \\uppercase { Abstract}\\\\%~In modern economy development troup which needs innovativness in many sides should solve two-sized tasks for innovators and small/averege sized companies first is innovative and second as to find them.\\\\~~A very interesting solution has found with the \"technopopulara\\\\%\"\\\\ program for innovator\\\\% s that are not to be under commercial interests to the companies.\\\\%% For example by the company NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. (WBBH) — History teacher Taylor Ashby is back where it all began at North Fort Myers High School.
It’s at the school — where he once learned — that he first felt a passion to teach.
“The goal was to not just come in education, but come back to this school,” Ashby explained. “I was a football player here and I told my coaches, my friends that one day I’m gonna come back to the school, and I’m gonna teach here. I’m gonna coach here.”
And it isn’t just his time at the school that inspired him. His father coached there for 10 years, his grandmother taught there and his grandfather coached and taught at North back in the 80s.
“To be in the same place where he was, and taught and coached and mentored young people — it’s special,” he said of his grandfather. “The Ashby name’s been in Lee County for nearly 50 years now in education.”
If you ask his students, it’s no surprise Ashby earned a Golden Apple. He’s who the kids call the “cool teacher” — the one who brings lessons to life.
But his impact goes well beyond just making learning fun.
10th grader Aurora Stevenson said he is the reason why she didn’t drop out of school.
“He just kind of keeps you going when there’s nobody else to,” she told NBC2. “Especially when you’re down. He just kind of gives you a reason to be here.”
“For me personally, at the start of this year I lost a family member and he was just always there,” student Rafael Perez-Freeman said. “He was the one to talk to me after class. Just be there for me.”
Ashby said his biggest teaching inspiration is his mother, who – no surprise – was also a teacher in the district for 30 years.
His entire life has revolved around education, and maybe that’s why Ashby just gets it: for students, learning about life can be as important as the lessons themselves.
“At the end of the day, not only are you teaching them and educating them and giving them a lesson… but you’re there for them,” Ashby said. “You’re the person in their corner when they truly need somebody.”

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried, a longtime entertainer with one of the most recognizable voices in Hollywood, has died at age 67.
Gottfried’s family confirmed his death via Twitter, saying:
“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried after a long illness. In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children. Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor.”
No details on Gottfried’s illness were provided by his family. However, an NBC News report says Gottfried had heart problems caused by myotonic dystrophy type 2, a form of muscular dystrophy that affects muscles and other organs in the body. NBC attributes that information to Glenn Schwartz, Gottfried’s “longtime friend and publicist.”
Gottfried, a native of Brooklyn, New York, made his name as a standup comedian and expanded his audience with appearances in movies and television. His many credits include “Beverly Hills Cop II,” “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events,” the “Problem Child” franchise and the voice of Iago, the parrot in the animated “Aladdin” movies.
Gottfried’s standup style was intense, squinty-eyed and abrasively energetic. His stage voice -- which was not his natural speaking voice -- was famously grating during appearances on TV talk shows, celebrity roasts, game shows and more.
Gottfried’s career spanned more than four decades and his work was wide-ranging. Just a few examples: He appeared as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” in the early ‘80s, provided the voice for the duck in Aflac commercials from 2000 to 2011, competed on “The Celebrity Apprentice” in 2015, was a recurring guest star on “The Hollywood Squares” in the late ‘90s and hosted “Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast,” 2014-2022.
Although the comedian was notoriously private about his personal life, fans received a peek behind the curtain in “Gilbert,” a 2017 documentary.
“Gottfried has long been the lovable loser of the stand-up comedy world, a so-called comic’s comic whose career has persisted through numerous controversies, particularly his less-than-tactful jokes about national and global tragedies,” Derek Smith said a review for Slant magazine.
“... Since Gottfried has been careful to keep his personal life a secret over the years, remaining in character during even the most innocuous talk-show appearances, there has been little evidence of a pulsating heart beneath the beady little eyes and gruff voice that define his public persona. Neil Berkeley’s intimate and unassuming ‘Gilbert’ pulls back the curtain on the comedian to reveal a man who’s surprisingly sensitive, deftly highlighting the enigmatic rift between the inimitable comic’s confrontational public appearances and his shy yet thoughtful and compassionate temperament off stage.”

Yo, is it about that time to bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme?
While Mark Wahlberg told Ellen DeGeneres he would consider revisiting his Marky Mark rapper days under the right circumstances and for the right cause, his kids might not be on board.
"They've seen videos of me performing and they're mortified," the actor said on the April 12 episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." "Like, if they see the picture of me in the underwear, oh my god, they'd be so embarrassed."
Then again, Wahlberg -- who shares kids Ella, 18, Michael, 16, Brendan, 13, and Grace, 12, with wife Rhea Durham -- said his children are horrified by just about anything he does these days.
"My son has just recently turned 16, let's just say that, and he gets embarrassed by everything that I do," he said. "Even the stuff that other people think is, like, cool in 2022, like movies and stuff? 'Dad it's so dumb. Dad that's terrible.'"
Entertainment News
And it looks like his kids can be some of his toughest critics. "My son and my daughter went to see 'Uncharted.' They liked it a lot, but they were like, 'Dad, why didn't you play the main character?' I said, 'I'm too old to play the main character. I used to be the main character,'" Wahlberg recalled. "And then I showed my daughter and the kids a rough cut of 'Father Stu.' It was a little much for her. She was still 11 at the time... They were into 'Transformers' for a short amount of time. They were dying to see 'Ted,' but my wife wouldn't let them see it. So, they're not my biggest fans."
Although, he may have scored a few points in the cool dad category when he paid for his daughter Ella's tattoos for her 18th birthday. "Her boyfriend wrote 'I love you' with, like, a pencil and they copied that and then she wrote it on him," the Oscar-nominated star shared. "And then she's got a little tiny fairy here on her back."
While Wahlberg tried to dissuade his daughter's ink aspirations by bringing her along for his own tattoo removal and showing her how painful the process can be, the tactic wasn't a success. "Nothing worked," he said. "It didn't discourage her as well."

Faults in Your Stars: Aries Season
Welcome to the chaos
Disclaimer: Everyone is an individual, no two people of the same Zodiac sign are exactly alike. Some people are more evolved than others, everyone changes, nothing is permanent. This is also based on my life experiences, so continue to roll your eyes or keep reading.
The zodiac sign of Aries is represented by the Ram. They are a cardinal fire sign as well as the first sign in the astrological procession. They are embodied by the ages 0 through 7 and they are the biggest babies you’ll come across.
Unless you’re well-versed in astrological terminology, you’re probably confused, so let me clarify: in astrology there are twelve signs, 4 elements, and 3 modalities (cardinal, fixed, mutable).
Cardinal signs take place at the start of the seasons, therefore cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) are said to be initiators.
As a matter of fact, Aries season was initiated at the Oscars when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. This zodiac sign is ruled by the planet of Mars and the Rams’ namesake comes from the Greek god of war.
More often than not, if this sign is given the option to put up or shut up, they’ll reach for their boxing gloves that are kept on them at all times.
If anyone you know has heavy Aries placements, you might be entitled for compensation for every time you’ve been slaughtered by the brutal honesty this sign has to offer. Some people say they’re too mean to be around, and those people are weak.
It definitely does take a special amount of boldness and chaos in a person to stay on the Aries highway to hell. As my own person, I believe the best way to learn and grow is to be told about myself.
Regardless of the good, bad or ugly, I find comfort in knowing that my friends with this placement will always prevent me from looking or acting ridiculous.
I have to admit that I am biased towards this sign as seen in my rank, but I stand by this statement: Y’all are probably the most annoying sign that’s ever existed, I still love you though.
Here are my complaints:
It’s very rare to find someone with an Aries placement that knows when to admit that they are wrong about something. If you’re lucky enough to find one, chances are they have earth and water placements. Otherwise the argumentative nature makes me want to box.
I love a good argument, but I also frown upon people who can’t openly take accountability for their mistakes.
In high school I had a friend group that consisted of three Aries. They all had their birthdays in the same week. Let’s call them Eva, Claire and Kiana.
During our first year of college Kiana and Claire decided to come to Eau Claire to visit during their birthday weekend. We had a great time and I got a lot of cool pictures. The Aries audacity showed in Eva when she picked a fight with me about not posting as many pictures of her.
In the past, Eva couldn’t ever handle being called out for wrongdoings and she would argue so hard that I would feel the need to apologize because defending myself would be too exhausting. When I told her she was being insecure, she said: “I don’t like that you said I have problems, so we shouldn’t be friends anymore.”
It was no sweat for me at that point, this is also someone who shot me in the eye with a Nerf gun to prove another one of her points.
I can definitely tell when an Aries placement is unevolved, my negative experiences with this sign have all ended in some sort of explosive fashion.
If arguing to death doesn’t do it for you, then maybe their lack of survival instincts will.
My beloved friend Claire once decided to get out of a slowly moving car to pet a stray dog. I told her it was a bad idea but she proceeded. I wasn’t surprised when the dog decided to charge at her, I still laugh at the image of Claire sprinting to the moving car and leaping to safety just in time.
A week later she decided to pick up a wild mouse with her bare hands because it was cute. That also reminds me of the time she almost killed us in her car because she saw a rabbit on the sidewalk.
My Aries season so far has consisted of vomiting, arguing and anxiety. This is the time of year where we should all be encouraged to take life by the horns and don’t look back, because your Aries friends expect it of you.

Far-right Le Pen campaigns as French 'voice of the people'
VERNON, France (AP) - Far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Tuesday described France as a nation that would put its people´s voices at the center of the political process if she is elected president in 12 days.
Le Pen, a solid nationalist, faces centrist President Emmanuel Macron in a presidential runoff on April 24. He placed first and Le Pen second in Sunday´s first-round presidential vote that eliminated 10 other candidates. Both Le Pen and Macron are now aggressively campaigning to win an election that could upend France´s system of governance and Europe´s dynamics should Le Pen be victorious.
In a dramatic change, new laws could be passed or old laws modified in a referendum proposed by citizens, with conditions such as 500,000 signatures backing the proposal . Such a system was demanded two years ago by the sometimes violent yellow vest movement for social and economic justice that challenged Macron's government as being too business-friendly.
In Sunday´s first round of voting for the country's next president, the far-right, including Le Pen and two other parties, together won 32% of the vote, compared to Macron´s 27.8% support, although he was the top individual candidate. Still, that means far-right voters can be expected to factor into France´s political future not just in the next two weeks, but for years, even if Le Pen loses.
Le Pen also wants two-thirds of the 577 seats in France's lower house of parliament to be allotted by the proportional system to better reflect voters' choices. Her anti-immigration National Rally party currently holds 8 seats.
Le Pen claimed that democracy would be the main beneficiary of these changes, giving citizens who represent what she calls "the France of the forgotten" a say in how they are governed.

But if Emmanuel Macron falters in the April 24 French presidential elections, it might be two weeks away. (AP Photo/Francois Mori)
Having referendums can contribute to France's democratic culture, Le Pen said Tuesday at a news conference in the Normandy town of Vernon. A small crowd of local opponents cried "Facist!" while supporters shouted back "Marine, president!" as she left the hotel to meet the press.
"During my mandate, I count on consulting the only expert that Emmanuel Macron never consulted -the people," Le Pen said.
Le Pen would also return the French presidency to a seven-year non-renewable mandate, instead of the current five-year term that can be renewed once.
"I want to be the president who gives back the people their voice in their own country," she said.
The French Constitution would have to be revised to make possible the referendum concept possible, and vital subjects like nuclear power could not be put to a vote.
Also needing a constitutional change would be Le Pen´s plan, if elected, to ban Islamic headscarves in French streets. That's a big step further than current laws, which ban headscarves in classrooms since 2004 and face-coverings in the streets since 2010. With an estimated 5 million Muslims in France, headscarves are commonly worn by many Muslim women.
"We must leave no space, not a thumb space," for Islamists, Le Pen said, adding that she wants to "liberate" French Muslim women from the yoke of radicals.
France has faced several deadly attacks by Islamic extremists in the past decade, including the 2015 Paris attacks that left 130 people dead.

Dominican Republic has yet to approve Barrick Gold tailings dam
Santo Domingo.-Although it was announced that the tailings dam that the mining company Barrick Gold is trying to build will be built in the Sánchez Ramírez province, where two areas are being evaluated for these purposes, the Ministry of the Environment has not yet received a formal proposal of which ones they would be. exactly those places.
The head of that government agency, Orlando Jorge, said this Monday that the company is still pending to indicate the place prior to carrying out the environmental impact study, after they reached an agreement so that the work is not in Cuance, Yamasá, as the mining company initially intended.
“We have not approved anything because it is pending compliance with the process established by Law 64-00. Everything has its moment. I can only assure you that it will not be in Cuance, thanks to the role played by this Ministry and the support of the Government,” said the minister.
In a press release distributed last Friday, the Government announced: “We have reached an agreement with the Barrick Pueblo Viejo company for the tailings dam to be built in Sánchez Ramírez, an area where its operations are located. For the new location there are two options that could be viable for the mining company.”
But the Minister of the Environment said that he will not be able to confirm those places until he has the data in his hands and the proposal is formalized by the company.
The government should not approve a tailings dam until Barrick provides a plan of where and how it will manage such a dam. The plan should be transparent and be open for public review and comment before any government action.

Jordan Brand always seems to deliver in this area, especially as it pertains to the Air Jordan 1.

Once in a while, Jumpman likes to go off the board with the materials it uses, and as you can see below, this next colorway goes the snakeskin route.
The "Vivid Green" model features a very unique color scheme as the toe box and back heel is constructed with a soft green snakeskin. This texture lends itself well to the shade of green, which helps bolster the whole snake motif. From there, we have white side panels, all while the overlays are made with black leather.

The connection between the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans grew stronger when the former signed another free agent with ties to head coach Arthur Smith. Ex-Titans star Marcus Mariota is already pencilled in as the Falcons’ likely starting quarterback for 2022, and now he’ll get to throw to a familiar face.
That face was added to the tight end depth chart on Tuesday, April 12. This four-year veteran had a career season for Smith when the latter was offensive coordinator of the Titans in 2020. Now, one of Smith’s former charges will be expected to ease the burden on dynamic, second-year playmaker Kyle Pitts.
ALL the latest Falcons news straight to your inbox! Join the Heavy on Falcons newsletter here!
Smith Reunites with Another Former Titan
The Falcons reached a one-year agreement with Anthony Firkser, according to Tori McElhaney of the team’s official site. Firsker spent the first three seasons of his pro career around Smith.
Smith initially served as Firkser’s position coach in 2018 before being promoted to coordinator a year later. It proved to be a fruitful partnership, particularly during Smith’s second term calling the plays.
Firkser enjoyed his most productive year, posting career highs for receptions, 39, and yards, 387. It was quite the leap for a player who entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with the New York Jets in 2017.
He spent time on the practice squads for the Jets and Kansas City Chiefs, but moving to Smith’s tight end-heavy offense unlocked Firkser’s talent. The Titans needed Firkser to step up after Delanie Walker called time on his career following the 2019 season.
Walker talked up Firkser’s potential during an appearance on the Talking w/TD podcast with Turron Davenport, via NFL.com’s Grant Gordon: “He sat under me for years and I tried to teach him everything I know, but the dude got wiggles. He can get open, he can catch the ball. I think he going to be elite.”
Walker also said Firkser “destroys linebackers within seconds.” Firkser didn’t quite live up to the hype in 2021, his first season without Smith, catching 34 passes for 291 yards.
He did score two touchdowns, another personal best, including this one against the Miami Dolphins from Week 17:
Smith will hope to unleash Firkser’s full range of athleticism and versatility in a passing game that looks set to be worryingly reliant on Pitts.
Firkser Offers Natural Support for Pitts
After a 68-catch and 1,026-yard rookie season, it’s going to be Pitts or bust for the Atlanta passing game. Especially when the Falcons’ options at wide receiver, including new arrivals Auden Tate and Damiere Byrd, are less than convincing.
It would help to have another tight end capable of beating coverage. Firkser can fit the bill in the right scheme and also offset the need for the Falcons to add to the position on draft day.
There are some interesting prospects, including Greg Dulcich, who has had a top-30 visit with the Falcons, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. In terms of playing style and build, 6’2″, 246-pound Firkser compares favorably to 6’3″, 245-pounder Dulcich.
Even so, Kevin Knight of The Falcoholic believes there’s still a scenario where the Falcons go hunting for another tight end during the 2022 NFL draft:
Whatever the overall plan is for Firkser, his arrival represents “the first significant signing the Falcons have made to rebuild the tight end position after Hayden Hurst left in free agency and Lee Smith retired at the end of last season,” per McElhaney.

Sample lesson plans for New Jersey public schools include videos that promote masturbation and puberty blockers for students as young as 10.
Elementary aged children in the state’s public schools could be taught that puberty blockers are a good way to “manage” adolescence and masturbation “a few times a day” can help “relieve stress,” according to state sample lesson plans shared by Republican New Jersey state Senator Holly Schepisi on Dropbox.
“Today I reviewed all of the model school instruction materials and I truly think New Jersey has lost its damn mind,” Schepisi posted to Facebook.
Several lesson plans were given to parents at the Westfield Board of Education’s meeting on Feb. 22, according to Fox News.

As part of a proposed homework assignment for fifth graders called “It’s All about the Hormones,” students would be shown a video called “Puberty and Transgender Youth” by the organization AMAZE.
“Whether you identify as male, female, gender queer or something else, you’re perfectly normal, and there are lots of ways to manage puberty so that it can be a fun, exciting time rather than a scary or stressful one,” the video says.
“After some discussion and counseling, you may be referred to an endocrinologist,” the video adds. “Endocrinologists specialize in hormones, and they’re the most likely to prescribe puberty blockers for someone who wants them. Puberty blockers are medications that will stop your body from changing.”
One AMAZE video in a fifth grade sample lesson called “Masturbation: Totally Normal,” tells students that masturbating up to “a few times a day” is a “physically safe way to express sexual feelings.” Another AMAZE video “Females and Masturbation” explains masturbation as “a way to relieve stress.”
“While some of the lessons I agree with, many are completely overboard with cringy detail for young kids and some go so far as unnecessarily sexualizing children further,” Schepisi said on Facebook. She highlighted one AMAZE video titled “Is It Normal To Watch Porn?”

“One of the very first videos posted normalizes porn as ‘something everyone watches’ and ‘Hey it’s Free!'” she said. “I encourage all parents to take a look and decide if this is something they deem appropriate for kids this age.”
The teaching materials are a “sample list of resources” that line up with state policy, but are not official policy of Westfield Public Schools, a spokesperson for the district told Fox News.
Students as young as second grade will be taught about gender identity under New Jersey’s new sex education guidelines, which go into effect in September.
The New Jersey Department of Education and Westfield Public Schools did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

(AP) — Inflation soared over the past year at its fastest pace in more than 40 years, with costs for food, gasoline, housing and other necessities squeezing American consumers and wiping out the pay raises that many people have received. The Labor Department said its consumer price index jumped 8.5% in March from 12 months earlier — the biggest year-over-year increase since December 1981. Prices have been driven up by bottlenecked supply chains, robust consumer demand and disruptions to global food and energy markets worsened by Russia’s war against Ukraine. The government’s report also showed that inflation rose 1.2% from February to March, up from a 0.8% increase from January to February.

More intensive use of housing land, three-storey buildings and townhouses look set to be on the way for Te Puke.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council is making changes to make it easier for the people of Te Puke to build the kind of houses the town needs.
A community conversation on the council's new online hub – Your Place - has been launched to understand what the Te Puke community most wants and needs in new housing.
The opportunity to work on Te Puke's housing supply was prompted by the Enabling Housing Supply Amendment Act, which provides the council and the Te Puke community with an opportunity to make the legislation work for Te Puke.

Advertise with NZME.The council's senior policy analyst, Jodie Rickard, says the new law requires councils to replace local housing rules with new rules that allow people to build more homes and different kinds of homes. This new law applies to towns that don't have enough houses to meet demand, including Te Puke.
"This means that people who want to develop their land will be able to build homes that meet the new rules without needing a resource consent, allowing more homes to be built faster.
"You can add a unit to your backyard, build up three storeys and build townhouses – all without needing a resource consent. It will also be easier to subdivide land at the same time as completing a build.
"We're expecting to see an increase in properties with more than one home on them, more units in backyards and more redevelopment of properties where an existing house may be replaced with a number of new houses."
Benefits also include increased affordability, increased access to employment, transport, community facilities, less urban sprawl and easier multi-generational family living.
It means some of Te Puke's neighbourhoods might look a little different in a few years time.
''While the changes must happen, we need the community's input to shape and plan the specifics, such as where housing of four storeys or more could be developed, encouraging the particular kinds of housing we need more of such as many generations of whānau living together, and ensuring we grow and protect the things we love about Te Puke.''
The council wants to know what makes Te Puke a great place to live, what types of housing it needs most and the challenges of more houses and people.

Advertise with NZME."We need the Te Puke community to really get involved and share their ideas and experiences. These changes will affect the next decade of planning so it's really important we get this right," says Jodie.
All of Te Puke's current residential areas will be subject to the new changes.
There will be community conversation events at Te Puke Memorial Hall, on April 26 from 2pm-5pm and April 27 from 4pm-7pm or visit the council's website for more information on how to provide feedback.
Community feedback is open until midday Friday, April 29.

South Carolina football fans who were disappointed that the Gamecocks didn’t have a true split-team scrimmage for their spring game last season received some good news from Shane Beamer on Tuesday.
This year’s Garnet and Black Spring Game, set for 7 p.m. Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium, will be a “true game,” the head coach revealed during a Tuesday press conference following the 13th practice of the spring.
“We’re going to break the teams up and we’re going to play like a game,” Beamer said. “It’s not going to be (just) offense-defense. I know last year because of our depth, I think we played the first half and then the second half was just some competitive third-down, red-zone, goal-line things. We’re not going to do that; we’re going to play four quarters.”
Last year, the South Carolina roster was missing so many players due to injury that playing it that way was a necessity. This year, there will be a true winner and loser.
Beamer added that they’re still working on the exact format of the quarters but that it won’t be four full 15-minute quarters.
People are also reading…
He has also already split the roster up into two equal teams but they’ll continue to tweak the lineup if there are injuries in practice this week before announcing a final split roster closer to Saturday’s game. Right now, the Gamecocks are missing around 10 or so players due to injuries.
There will also be live special teams work during the contest with the teams split based on the units they’ve used in practice throughout the spring.
“We’ve been competing on special teams throughout the spring,” Beamer said. “Our team is divided up into four teams for special teams and each team has a captain and each team has a team name that they came up with, each team has a theme song, that’s their team. So they’ve been competing since day one of spring practice will have kind of the grand finale of that competition.”
The four team names are: “Street runners,” “Certified Steppas,” “Goon squad” and “Members only.”
Beamer is looking forward to having a true game and watching his team compete.
“We’re going to break it up so it’s going to be as even as possible, offensive starters on both teams, defensive starters on both teams and let these guys go play,” Beamer said. “I hope our fans will enjoy that and I know I’m looking forward to it. Hot a lot of work to do until then.”
This year’s spring game is part of the “Big Gamecock Weekend," which will include:
- Cocky Trot 5K & Fun Run/Walk, 9 a.m. Saturday
- Gamecock Block Party sponsored by Palmetto Shirt Company, 10 a.m. on Williams Street
- Baseball vs. Ole Miss at 1 p.m. Saturday
- Patrick Davis Pregame Concert, 5 p.m. Saturday in Gamecock Park
- Alumni Flag Football game, 6 p.m. in William-Brice Stadium
- Garnet and Black Spring Game at 7 p.m.
- Postgame fireworks following the conclusion of the Spring Game

Celebrity Cruises has announced a deployment move for the Celebrity Solstice, as the Royal Caribbean Group brand said it would cancel the ship's 2022-2023 season in Asia.
Instead the ship will reposition to the Mexican Riviera, the company said.
"We have made the difficult decision to cancel our Asia season due to the ongoing uncertainty around when international operations might fully restart in this region. Our guests have the option to apply their current booking to select Asia sailings in our 2023-2024 season, or, they may choose a full refund," read a statement from Celebrity.
"We thank our guests for their patience and understanding as the world continues to reopen and we continue to work through unique circumstances. We will reposition Celebrity Solstice to sail a season of Mexican Riviera itineraries beginning in September."
The Solstice was scheduled to move to Asia in the fall after a summer season of Alaska cruises, sailing mainly from Seattle.
After her Alaska season the ship was scheduled for longer itineraries, including deployments in Japan in October and then moving to Southeast Asia in November and December.

For a good cause
Ted Cruz asked if he'd 'fellate another man' during Yale Q&A
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sputtered before answering a risqué question during a Q&A session at Yale University on Monday, Mediaite reports.
"Assuming that it would end global hunger, would you fellate another man?" the questioner asked. Mediaite referred to the questioner as a student. In the video, he identifies himself as "Evan" after approaching the microphone during a live taping of the podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Cruz seemed to choke on his words before co-host Michael Knowles — who graduated from Yale in 2012 — said, "Well, actually, so, I do have an answer to this."
Cruz appeared relieved. "Alright, I actually think it is better that the Yalie answer this."
"Like a typical left-wing undergraduate, you are engaging in consequentialist ethics," Knowles said, grinning. Consequentialism is an ethical theory that judges the morality of an action based on its consequences. It is the opposite of deontology, which posits that certain actions are inherently wrong and therefore never justified.
"You are attempting to justify, flagrantly immoral behavior to achieve a good end," Knowles continued. "And I tell you, my friend, the ends do not justify the means — absolutely, absolutely not."
At this point, Cruz finally rose to the challenge. "I am curious, with that young fellow: If it would solve world hunger, would you vote for Donald Trump?" he asked. Co-host Liz Wheeler, along with several members of the crowd, burst out laughing.

The Phillies won the first game of their series against the Mets, 5-4, to go to the top of the AL East standings, and another entertaining game is expected between the teams on Tuesday. The Mets have lost two, but look to even things up against the Phillies. Tylor Megill gets the start for the Mets after chalking up a win in his first start of the year against the Nationals, while Zack Wheeler makes his first start of 2022 for the home team.
Let’s take a look at the odds for today’s Mets vs Phillies matchup.

New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies odds
The Mets go into this game as underdogs, with odds of +136 at FanDuel Sportsbook, while the Phillies are favorites at -162. That means that you would need to bet $1.62 on Philadelphia to win in order to earn a $1 profit if they win the game. However, a $1 bet on the Mets would make a profit of $1.36 if they even up the series. The run total is set at 8.5; you can bet on the total number of runs scored by both teams being either under or over that amount. Let’s break down our predictions for today’s Mets vs Phillies game.
New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies prediction: Phillies ML (-162)
The Mets got off to an early lead in their first game against the Phillies on Monday, but some clutch hitting from JT Realmuto and Nick Castellanos enabled the home team to rally and win 5-4. With Wheeler on the hill for Philly in this game, the home team has hopes of a more clear-cut success this time. This will be Wheeler’s first outing of the season and he should prove a real threat to a Mets team that has struck out the fourth-most times of any club in this young season.
The Mets’ lineup is impressive, but the Phillies are able to match it. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper along with Realmuto and Castellanos looks like an all-star lineup. Megill is making his second start of 2022. He pitched well on Opening Day with six strikeouts in 5.0 innings of a 5-1 win over the Nationals. However, that was against a Washington lineup that was missing Trea Turner and the Phillies have a lot more to offer from an offensive standpoint. This could be another close game with these starting pitchers, but the top of the Phillies’ lineup should be able to produce just enough to give them the edge. Our game prediction is that the Phillies should record another win.
New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies prediction: Over 8.5 (-118)
While both of these teams are able to put strong starting pitchers on the hill today, Citizens Bank Park is a venue that can favor offenses and over 8.5 runs is our prediction for this game. Philadelphia’s stadium is one of the most susceptible to winds among all of the league’s venues and it is one of the top parks where fans are most likely to see balls clearing the fences. With big hitters Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor in the Mets’ lineup and Bryce Harper and Realmuto at the plate for the Phillies, there are plenty of big bats to take advantage of the favorable conditions. The teams combined to clear this total with nine runs in their first meeting and another high-scoring contest is likely.

Kinder chocolate products recalled in US after salmonella cases reported in Europe
(Gray News) – Ferrero, Inc. is voluntarily recalling two of its Kinder chocolate products because of a possible salmonella contamination.
The company is recalling two Kinder products in the U.S. These include Kinder Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment and Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats basket.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and people with weakened immune systems, the FDA says.
Symptoms of salmonella infection in healthier people can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
In rare cases, salmonella can produce more severe illnesses like arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
Ferrero says the products are being recalled because they were manufactured in a facility where salmonella was detected.
There have been no reports of illness in the U.S. so far, the company says. The voluntary recall is due to an abundance of caution after Salmonella cases were reported by people in Europe who consumed chocolates from the same facility.
No other Kinder products in the U.S. were recalled.
Ferrero says it “deeply regrets the situation” and that it takes food safety “extremely seriously” and will continue to work with the FDA to address the situation.
If you’ve purchased either of the products, Ferrero says to not eat it and to contact the company’s customer service line sometime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday EST at 1-800-688-3552 or via https://www.ferreronorthamerica.com/contact-US-residents.
