With the addition of vehicles in Fortnite, the ability to get a Jet Pack was bound to happen sooner than later. All great games are made even better with the addition of a jetpack, so why not add it to one of the most popular video games of all time? This way, you’ll be able to zip around the world in style and eliminate enemies from hard-to-reach places.
However, where do you get your hands on a Jet Pack in Fortnite? Follow along with our guide and we’ll teach you where to find one, and how to put it to the best use! Let’s dive off of the battle bus and drop in on our guide.
Fortnite – Jet Pack Location
If you’re looking to start your match off on the right foot, you’ll be able to get your hands on a jetpack right off of the bat or find enough for you and your whole squad. You’ll just need to make sure that other people aren’t getting to them first, as they are in a pretty centralized location.
You’ll find the new and improved Jet Packs inside of the IO Blimps that are scattered around the map. As soon as you drop off the Battle Bus, you’ll be able to drop directly onto the Blimps and go inside. Unless you are planning on getting in and out quickly, make sure that you bring a few weapons with you, as there are a lot of guards inside. Once you enter the doors, you’ll just want to look to the left or right, and see if there is a jetpack there. Since each of the Blimps have 4 doors to enter, there should be at least 4 Jet Packs awaiting you inside.
Once you get your hands on the Jet Pack, you’ll be able to dive off and get into the action. While Jet Packs have been in Fortnite before, there is one key difference this time around, and that’s in the fact that you’ll be able to aim down the sights while you’re flying around, something that you couldn’t do before. This means, that if you have a steady enough hand, you’ll be able to pull some crazy stunts and nail headshots while flying around.
However, you won’t be able to fly forever, as there is a gauge on the back of the Jet Pack that shows how long you have before you’ll begin to fall, so make sure that you are keeping an eye on that at all times!
Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Mobile devices.

United with Ukraine
I was standing in the concessions line at Harbor Park on Sunday afternoon when the public address announcer asked everyone to rise for the singing of the Ukrainian national anthem. This unique Stand with Ukraine event, in conjunction with the Tidewater Ukrainian Cultural Association, struck a chord with me. I removed my hat and tried to quiet my three grandchildren awaiting their popcorn.
The anthem was sung beautifully by Tetiana Panko Ordono, principal of the Tidewater Ukrainian School. Although I didn’t understand one word, I had a sense of togetherness. I noticed a man who not only removed his hat, but appeared to hold his hand over his heart. My grandchildren applauded afterward, and although they did not completely understand the significance of the singing at ages 6 and 4, they seemed to inherently know the event was good. This evil war with Russia will certainly be studied for generations.
Following the Ukrainian anthem, Ordono sang our national anthem. Her Ukrainian voice sweetly singing of our “land of the free and the home of the brave” underscored the significance of our relationship.
My thanks to the Norfolk Tides management and ownership for this expression of support and compassion to Ukraine and for contributing a portion of ticket sales to help their citizens. The Tides are to be commended for acknowledging our allegiance to a country half a world away but now near and dear to us during their struggle. May God bless Ukraine and her people.

Parents’ voices
Between the push by Gov. Glenn Youngkin to ban critical race theory or the Florida legislature prohibiting sexual discussions with first graders, pundits are missing the forest for the trees. Whether you agree with teaching controversial subjects or not, the rub is how parents have been shut out of the discussion and left in the cold.
Our political discourse has been hijacked by the activists. Are all activists bad? Of course not; yet parents, such as me, who work full time and raise families, don’t have time for conventions or social media campaigns. I don’t have time to knock on doors or form a committee. So who are these people steering our ship of democracy? They are typically at opposite ends of the spectrum — very young or retired empty nesters. The people who should, in my humblest of opinions, have the most say over our children’s lives are heard from the least. Hence the angry voices at school board meetings, which the National School Boards Association alluded to as “domestic terrorists.” Until politicians learn to listen to the real silent majority, they’ll remain shrouded in a fog of ignorance as to why their policies don’t work.

Electoral boards
Re “Hampton GOP official formally removed from city Electoral Board after racist Facebook post surfaced” (April 11): One bad apple doesn’t ruin everything. One member of the Hampton Electoral Board recently made a racist Facebook post, and his own political party demanded that he resign. That’s good news.
Fortunately, that kind of misbehavior by electoral board members and election officials seems to be a rarity in Virginia. In my own city, both those groups have done a stellar job during the past two years. They have patiently made it possible for thousands of citizens to register to vote and to cast their votes legally and on time — despite the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption and fears it caused.
This week, voters across Virginia are saying to our election heroes, thank you for a job well-done. We continue to count on you in the months and years ahead.

Local violence
Re ”Gun violence” (Your Views, April 12): I would like to make just one addition to Tazewell Hubard’s excellent letter on stopping gun violence: respect for each other again.
Daywatch
This applies to not just Norfolk, but to all of the United States. Until we can come together as a country, embrace diversity, respect different opinions and ultimately act with love for others, change will be difficult.
We must strive for the unity displayed after Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Another example of unity to be admired is that displayed by Ukrainians in protecting their country and each other, despite the unrelenting odds.
Let us not forget the word “united” in United States. “American” ends in “I can.”

A nightmare
Benjamin Franklin must be turning over in his grave right now. When he proposed the establishment of Congress, I’m sure he never expected for its members to make this position a “job of a lifetime.” Not only are they overcompensated salary-wise for the position, but where else can you get a job that gives you an annual allowance to pay for some staff and personal expenses on the job, work only six months of the year, get health care subsidies and up to 80% of your salary as a pension, and vote yourself a raise — with the president’s approval.
Even after leaving office, you get lifetime gym membership and other exclusivity perks. It would be a pipe dream to imagine a day when all these pay structure and benefits are reduced, but if nothing else, Congress owes Franklin a public apology.

What are the best sheet masks at Sephora?
Just about every self-care checklist will suggest treating yourself to a sheet mask — and with good reason. Not only are sheet masks great at delivering nourishing skin care ingredients, but they also give you an excuse to relax.
Whether you struggle with acne, redness or dry skin, there’s a sheet mask for you. If you’re looking to find a popular option, cosmetics retailer Sephora carries a range of sheet masks beloved by customers and beauty experts alike for their nourishing ingredients and excellent results.
Sheet masks vs. clay masks
Sheet masks have been gaining in popularity in Western markets for a few years now, but they’ve been a staple in Korean beauty regimens for much longer. Unlike wash-off facial masks, which usually consist of a clay base, sheet masks are made from fabric, paper or gel that’s been saturated with skin care ingredients. The sheet fibers give your skin a chance to absorb the essence’s beneficial ingredients without the dried-out feeling that can come from clay masks, and there’s no rinsing necessary. While both kinds of masks offer several benefits, sheet masks tend to focus on hydration while clay masks are better for decongesting skin.
How to use sheet masks
To use a sheet mask effectively, start by cleansing your face. You may wish to steam your face with a hot washcloth or facial steamer to open up your pores. This helps your skin absorb the mask’s essence. Wear the mask for the recommended amount of time, then gently massage the leftover essence into your skin. Treat your neck and décolleté as well: if there’s any essence left in the mask’s packaging, massage that in, too. Sheet masks with acne-fighting or exfoliating ingredients are recommended for use once a week, while gentler, hydrating masks can be used more often.
Sheet mask benefits
Almost any skin care concern can be addressed with a sheet mask. Here are some of the key ingredients to look for if you’re shopping for a specific type of sheet mask:
- Exfoliating sheet masks may contain fruit enzymes (like pineapple or papaya) or retinol.
- Hydrating sheet masks may contain hyaluronic acid, snail jelly, honey or coconut water.
- Brightening sheet masks may contain licorice root extract, pearl extract or vitamin C.
- Soothing sheet masks may contain green tea extract, aloe vera or chamomile.
- Acne and blemish-clearing masks may contain salicylic acid, tea tree oil or charcoal.
- Redness-reducing masks may contain niacinamide or tiger grass.

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 on Monday after the couple requested the dismissal. The couple's lawyer is declining to comment on why they no longer want to pursue the petition that accused Miller of bursting into their bedroom and threatening them in the Big Island town of Hilo.
It's also the town where Miller was arrested for allegedly harassing patrons at a karaoke bar. Miller's attorney in Hilo declined to comment on Tuesday.
Hawaii Police Department Assistant Chief Kenneth Quiocho said Tuesday that Miller was “uncooperative and refused to leave the area and continued to obstruct the sidewalk.”

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

CLEVELAND – McMinn County had no margin for error, and one mistake was enough to send it to defeat on its bitter rival's home field.
A lead-off error in the bottom of the fourth gave homestanding Bradley Central the opportunity to score the only run it needed to deal the Cherokees a 1-0 loss Monday in a clash of the top two teams in the District 5-4A standings.
"What the game boiled down to was whoever makes that first mistake, and unfortunately that was us,” said McMinn head coach Matt Ray.
With the rest of the game a duel between two NCAA Division I-bound pitchers, it was MTSU signee Ollie Akens taking the loss despite recording six strikeouts against one walk in his complete game. Akens limited the Bears, ranked No. 4 in Class 4A in this week's Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association state poll, to one unearned run, giving the Tribe every chance to figure out an offense.
"That's a tough loss to take right there because he threw very, very well,” said Ray of Akens' performance. “And it's a good team.”
McMinn (10-5, 6-2 District 5-4A), however, just could not figure out Cooper Casteel. The Bears' ETSU-bound lefty went the distance, striking out the Cherokees 14 times against one walk and limiting them to two hits.
"Good velocity, he locates very, very well,” Ray said. “Off-speed, locates it well, and we struggled with that. And that's kind of a situation where you pick one pitch and you sit on it, and just make sure you don't miss it. But you've got to give a lot of credit to that dude. He's very, very good.”
And after the error to begin the bottom of the fourth, Casteel helped his own cause with a double to put runners at second and third with no outs. Karter Howard hit a single to center field that scored one run and threatened to plate a second.
Jayden Miller, playing center field for McMinn, delivered a throw to catcher Mason Roderick in time for the tag out of the Bears' second runner at home plate, keeping the score 1-0.
Akens averted further damage that inning with a strikeout and a pop out. Unfortunately for McMinn, the damage that did happen was all Bradley needed.
"A lead-off error, guy gets on, and of course they're going to do something to get that runner across the plate, and they executed,” Ray said. “Their hitter executed, and ball game.”
Roderick drew a walk in the fifth inning, and Carson Clark, running courtesy for Roderick, stole second, but a pop out and strikeout kept him there.
Sam Goodin got McMinn's second and last hit in the sixth and went to second on an errant pick attempt, but then got caught in a rundown trying to steal third base. A strikeout, Casteel's 12th of the game, ended the Cherokees' sixth. McMinn went out in order in the seventh, including two more strikeouts.
"Obviously we need to learn from previous at-bats how do they pitch us, what adjustment do I need to make?” Ray said. “I don't think we were very good at making those adjustments. We kind of just continued with the same mistake.”
Weather permitting, McMinn returns home to play the second leg against the Bears 7 p.m. Tuesday. Salvaging a split would help the Cherokees solidify their grip on second place in District 5-4A and also prevent Bradley from outright clinching the top seed.

HAYS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — After a years-long effort to bring a public defenders office to Hays County, commissioners have identified $5 million in funding and will bring two possible service providers to the remaining court members before the end of the month.
As Hays County has seen rapid growth, it’s also experienced problems with its criminal justice systems, including jail overcrowding, lack of mental health diversion resources and little to no help for people awaiting trial. Hays County Commissioner Lon Shell said this effort to bring people awaiting trial legal resources will help chip away at all of those issues.
“What we’re trying to do is to put another piece of this puzzle together so that we can solve some of these problems,” said Shell, who was largely behind the proposal to fund the public defender’s office.
In August, Hays County commissioners unanimously voted to earmark $5 million in American Rescue Plan funding for the creation of the public defenders office. Just a few months before that, commissioners shut down an application submission for a grant that would have kickstarted that process.
Now, after that funding has finally been agreed upon, commissioners will consider two teams of applicants during their April 26 meeting.
“I feel that we are so much closer. I know it’s taken much longer than we’ve all anticipated,” Commissioner Debbie Ingalsbe said. “We did interview the two respondents that submitted proposals and we’ve got two great teams that will come here and we’ll see who will be representing and managing that department.”
After proposals are discussed and an applicant is selected, a judge would also need to sign off on having the public defenders office operate under their court. Once that happens, a contract can be drafted and the process to get the office up and running can start. Mano Amiga, a group that has worked on this for years, says that could happen in the next few weeks.
By the data
According to the Hays County Jail dashboard, which was last updated on October 20, 2021, more than 80% of the jail population is being held pretrial. Mano Amigas, which focuses on issues of criminalization and immigration, says that a rising number of people in Hays County’s jail need this office.
“These are legally innocent people who have only been charged but not convicted of the crime for which they are accused,” said Eric Martinez, policy director for Mano Amigas. “They’re simply there because they’re too poor to afford their freedom, too poor to afford bail.”
Historical data shows the number of people being held pretrial in Hays County has been steadily increasing. In October 2020, 291 people were being held pretrial in the Hays County jail. A year later, 507. All other custody types — for example, a parole violation, ICE pretrial, federal hold — remained steady.
Roughly 45% of the people in the Hays County jail are Latino men — more than double the population of Latino men in Hays County, according to the dashboard which was created in collaboration with the Vera Institute of Justice.
Meanwhile, nearly 15% of the jail population are Black men, a racial and gender group that makes up 2% of residents in Hays County.
White men represent roughly 26% of the jail population and roughly the same percentage of residents in the county, that dashboard shows. There are less than 100 women in the jail, as of the October 2021 data.
Jail overcrowding and what it costs you
As Hays County has been one of the fastest growing counties in Texas, jail overcrowding is something the county says they’re struggling with. It’s why voters opted to put money towards an expansion of the jail back in 2016.
Still, Shell says that expansion won’t be enough. He said roughly 600 beds will be available once that expansion is complete. There are roughly 650 inmates in Hays County’s custody right now, he said, which leaves other counties holding those inmates.
“That obviously is not in the best interest of criminal justice. It’s not good for those that we’re trying to ensure that they’re constitutional rights are protected, it’s not good for victims, it’s not good for families, it’s not good for our community,” Shell said, noting inmates were as far away as Red River County, roughly six hours away.
The public defenders office will help clear out people from the jails that shouldn’t be there, or that need mental health and substance abuse resources instead of incarceration, Shell said.
“Research has shown that when compared to the model of private assigned counsel, public defender offices have been found to reduce days of pretrial incarceration, get cases dismissed or acquitted more often and secure shorter sentences for their clients who are convicted or plead guilty. This results in untold savings for county taxpayers,” Martinez added.
Martinez said roughly 80% of the people in the Hays County jail can expect to spend a minimum of 30 days there. It costs taxpayers between $80 and $100 a day per person to house people in that jail. The goal for the public defenders office is clear out people that shouldn’t be sitting behind bars.
“I’m extremely impressed with the respondents we’ve gotten to our request for proposal, I think either of the respondents could do a very good job. I think now it’s going to be up for the commissioners court to make some decisions and recommendations based upon input that we hear from others,” Shell said. “We’ll try to get the best resources that we can.”

Chris Rock Mostly Avoids `The Slap' During Indio Show
INDIO (CNS) - Comedian Chris Rock kept Will Smith's name out of his mouth during a stand-up show at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, only making a brief reference to being slapped by the actor at last month's Oscars.
``I'm OK, I have a whole show and I'm not talking about that until I get paid. Life is good. I got my hearing back,'' Rock said upon taking the stage Friday night.
While Rock poked fun at other celebrities and politicians, including Hillary Clinton, Meghan Markle and the Kardashians, he made no other reference to the slap.
Rock was on stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to present an Oscar for best documentary when he made a joke referencing Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head during the live television broadcast of the 94th Academy Awards on March 27. Pinkett Smith -- Will Smith's wife -- suffers from the hair-loss condition alopecia.
Will Smith walked onto the stage and smacked Rock in the face, then returned to his seat and twice shouted at Rock to ``keep my wife's name out of your (expletive) mouth.''
Smith later won the best-actor Oscar for his work in ``King Richard,'' but the evening was marred by his outburst and on Friday the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences barred him from attending the annual Oscars ceremony for the next 10 years.
Smith said he would ``accept and respect'' the ban in a brief statement issued Friday. Smith had announced his resignation from the Academy last week, saying his actions were ``shocking, painful and inexcusable.''
Rock's general avoidance of the topic during his one-night stop in the Inland Empire was in keeping with the rest of his ``Ego Death'' world tour. During the tour's opening show at The Wilbur in Boston a few days after the Oscars, Rock briefly addressed the ``slap heard 'round the world.'' ``How was your weekend?'' Rock said as he began that show. ``I don't have a bunch of (expletive) about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend.
``I'm still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I'll talk about that (expletive). And it will be serious and funny.'' An audience member then chanted ``F--k Will Smith!'' before Rock continued. ``I'm going to tell some jokes. It's nice to just be out,'' he said before beginning his material.
Ticket prices for Rock's comedy tour have soared since the Oscars. TickPick, a secondary ticket seller, has seen a 641% price increase.
``We sold more tickets to see Chris Rock overnight than we did in the past month combined,'' the company tweeted the day after the Oscars. Rock was set to perform Saturday night at the Silver Legacy Casino in Reno, Nevada.
The tour is scheduled to conclude at the Dolby Theatre -- site of the infamous Oscars incident -- on Nov. 17-19.

Is Kevin Owens losing his grip on reality in the wake of failure to defeat 57 year old Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38? Or is Ezekiel not Elias’ little brother?
Most of us with eyes know the truth... that’s Elias with a shave, a haircut, and some less vagabond-y duds. Why else would “Ezekiel” need the assistance of WWE management to conceal documents that would prove his identity?
HIS LIBRARY CARD IS CONFIDENTIAL??!?!?! #wweraw pic.twitter.com/9Pe5OHRs9F

Adam Pearce is obviously in on it. And I’m not taking Tommaso Ciampa’s word on anything. He’s just trying to make a good impression during his first day on the new job.
Now, clearly fearing the lie detector test KO’s going to give him next Monday (April 18) on Raw, Ezekiel’s sharing this blatantly doctored photo of himself with his “brother” Elias...
I’m not buying it, and you shouldn’t either. If I were Kev, I’d enlist his friend Sami Zayn in this. There’s a guy who knows how to handle being conspired against.

Colton Herta sets track record in winning pole at Long Beach
LONG BEACH, Calif. — (AP) — Colton Herta broke the Long Beach track record in Saturday qualifying, and the California native will start from the pole for his home IndyCar race.
Herta turned a lap at 1 minute, 05.3095 seconds on the temporary street course set up through downtown Long Beach to earn his eighth career pole and the right to lead the field to green on Sunday. The previous track record was 1:06.2254 set by Helio Castroneves in 2017.
Herta, who is from nearby Valencia, is the defending race winner and hoping to give Andretti Autosport its fourth consecutive victory in the most prestigious street course race in the United States.
“As a young kid, I always trained to be an IndyCar driver and that's because of this race,” Herta said.
Herta paced a fast session for Andretti, which saw him, 2018 and 2019 winner Alexander Rossi and Romain Grosjean advance into the final qualifying round. But as Grosjean was chasing Herta for the pole, the former Formula One driver hit a tire barrier that brought the session to a sudden stop.
Herta celebrated as he drove back to pit lane because he thought the session was over. Instead, IndyCar said there were 2 seconds remaining on the clock and would permit drivers to go back on track for one final qualifying lap. Felix Rosenqvist and Rossi were the only two in the Fast Six to make another lap and neither advanced position.
Grosjean, who had been second-fastest before he crashed, was docked his fastest lap and dropped to sixth on the starting grid. That moved Josef Newgarden of Team Penske, winner at Texas in IndyCar's last outing, to second.
Reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou qualified third for Chip Ganassi Racing, followed by Rosenqvist of Arrow McLaren SP, Rossi and Grosjean.
“Man, the Andretti cars look really good. Not just Herta,” said Newgarden. “They are going to be tough to beat.”
Jimmie Johnson, who broke his right hand in a crash Friday during practice, wore a carbon fiber splint on it Saturday and qualified 25th in the 26-car field. He also crashed in Saturday's practice and was docked his fastest two laps in qualifying for impeding Graham Rahal as they merged onto the racing surface.
“I'm in damage control with my hand,” said Johnson. “I am just going to need to work my way forward, if I can, and I am sure some attrition will come into play. Hopefully my hand will hold up and get me through the race, I can log laps. I need some points, I am sitting tied 10th right now in the championship and I'd love to earn as many points as I can to stay as high in the points as possible."
Jack Harvey, who suffered a concussion in a crash at Texas that caused him to miss that race, returned to competition at Long Beach and qualified 21st.

MUNICH (AP) — Villarreal stunned six-time European champion Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League semifinals for the first time in 16 years on Tuesday thanks to Samuel Chukwueze's 88th-minute goal that salvaged a 1-1 draw and a 2-1 aggregate victory.
Villarreal's 1-0 lead from the first leg was wiped out by Robert Lewandowski seven minutes into the second half, but Chukwueze completed a counterattack within four minutes of coming off the bench to extend the Spanish team's surprising run in the competition.
“They made the mistake today of not killing us off and we took advantage of that,” Villarreal striker Gerard Moreno said. "What this team has done is great.”
Especially given the disparities in size and status. The entire population of the southeastern Spanish city of Villarreal — 50,000 — could fit into Bayern's 75,000-capacity stadium.
And while Bayern lifted the European Cup in 2020, the furthest Villarreal has reached in the competition is the semifinals in 2006.
“If you take just this game into account, without the first game, we should have gone through convincingly," Bayern forward Thomas Müller said. "It’s difficult to accept this; I don’t know what to say.”
But the same resolve that saw Villarreal beat Manchester United in the 2021 Europa League final has now seen Unai Emery's side oust both Juventus and Bayern in the knockout phase of the Champions League.
There could be another six-time champion to eliminate to a reach a first Champions League final. Liverpool or Benfica awaits in the semifinals, with the English club holding a 3-1 lead over the Portuguese side heading into Wednesday's second leg at Anfield.
Even when Lewandowski leveled the quarterfinal on aggregate — with a low shot after being set up by Müller — there was a good reason not to write off Villarreal.
Excluding his time at Paris Saint-Germain from 2016-18, Emery has won 22 consecutive two-leg knockout encounters in Europe since 2015 — with Sevilla, Arsenal and Villarreal.
The decisive moment in Bavaria came when Dani Parejo gained possession by the Villarreal penalty area and then launched the breakaway by sending the ball to Giovani Lo Celso. Lo Celso then slid a pass across the face of goal and Chukwueze struck into the top corner of the net.
Villarreal was delirious and held out for the memorable win.
“We knew we were going to suffer in defense but we were going to have our chances,” Moreno said. "And, in the end, Chukwueze was able to make the most of it. We want to thank those who came here tonight and those who are in Villarreal. It’s great to be a Villarreal fan, and you have to enjoy nights like this.”

Armin van Buuren Instagram post hints at possible David Guetta collaboration
A recent Instagram post from Armin van Buuren has generated rumours that he and the number one DJ of the world, David Guetta, are potentially working on new music together.
Last weekend the trance heavyweight was in Los Angeles for the incredible ASOT celebrations that took place inside the Bank of California Stadium. The event took place with the likes of Cosmic Gate, Gabriel & Dresden, MaRLo and Ruben de Ronde taking to the decks behind the A State of Trance frontman himself. Thousands came out to witness his show-stopping performance, in which he also premiered new music alongside Gareth Emery.
In one of his most recent Instagram posts, not only is he snapped next to Emery, but the carousel also shows Armin to have spent some of his down-time with David Guetta during his time out in LA. The pair can be seen with their heads in their laptops, as if they are comparing music or working on a project together. The image stirred fans into a frenzy in the comments, as the prospect of a collaboration as big as this doesn’t come around very often. The pair are yet to release an original record together, having only remixed each others work in the past, so here is to hoping something is in the pipeline between two of dance music’s biggest names.
Check out the post that depicts Armin van Buuren and David Guetta together, below!

The ugliness that is the Washington Commanders franchise continues to fester. The organization is now accused by Congress of having broken financial laws. The details point toward visiting teams and season-ticket holders.
The information, according to the House Oversight Committee, came from Jason Friedman, a sales executive who spent 24 years with the team.
“Even though we sold $811,800 worth of tickets, we reported that sale to the NFL at a total of $721,600, leaving $162,360 of juice, of money that would just go right into the owner’s pocket and didn’t have to be exposed to the NFL revenue sharing program,” Friedman told the committee, according to an excerpt of his interview included in the letter obtained by The Associated Press.
In a letter sent to the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, the committee said that as part of its ongoing investigation into a toxic workplace culture within the Commanders’ organization, it obtained evidence that the team might have underreported some of its ticket revenue, a portion of which should have been pooled with the NFL’s other teams as part of the league’s revenue-sharing agreement.
The committee also informed the FTC, which investigates deceptive business practices, that the team might have intentionally withheld “approximately $5 million” in refundable ticket deposits that it owed to fans and corporations.
“This new information suggests that in addition to fostering a hostile workplace culture, Mr. Snyder also may have cheated the team’s fans and the NFL,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.
“While the focus of our investigation remains the Commanders’ toxic work environment, I hope the FTC will review this troubling financial conduct and determine whether further action is necessary. We must have accountability.”

The Seagram’s liquor heiress who pleaded guilty to criminal charges in connection with the sprawling sex crimes prosecution of NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere now wants a civil case against her thrown out of court.
Clare Bronfman’s attorneys said she had “little to nothing to do with most of the accusations” lodged by a series of plaintiffs against various NXIVM-connected defendants. They added that the claims against her were nothing more than a “thinly veiled effort to intimidate and pressure a woman from a family well known in the national and international community.”
In a press release, the defense plainly asserted that the plaintiffs were in fact only seeking to “secure a big pay day” by targeting Bronfman with a lawsuit. They also accused the plaintiffs of launching an “attempt to lump [Bronfman] into allegations regarding activities in which she played no part and of which she had no knowledge.”
Bronfman pleaded guilty in April 2019 to harboring an illegal immigrant for financial gain and fraudulent use of identification in a criminal case lodged against her by federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York. She was sentenced to 81 months in prison — about six and three-quarter years — in September 2020. She also forfeited $6 million, agreed to provide restitution to a victim, and paid a half-million dollar fine, according to prosecutors who called her a “a high-ranking member of NXIVM’s Executive Board.”
While the criminal case was ongoing, a civil suit, styled as Edmondson v. Raniere, was filed in January 2020; it alleged that a bevy of NXIVM-connected defendants — including Raniere, Bronfman, former “Smallville” actress Allison Mack, and others — operated NXIVM as a “criminal enterprise” and “conspired . . . to commit sex trafficking, peonage, forced labor and human trafficking offenses.” It also alleged that NXIVM “functioned as both a Ponzi scheme and a coercive community.”
“Defendants exerted power over the Plaintiffs; took their money; made it financially, physically and psychologically difficult, and in some cases impossible, to leave the coercive community; and systematically abused Plaintiffs physically and emotionally,” the lawsuit alleged. “In doing so, the Defendants achieved a number of personal benefits including but not limited to enriching themselves; wielding power over others; advancing in the perverse social order they created; and enhancing their own feelings of self-esteem. Many of the Defendants also benefitted financially through the receipt of profits and substantial access to free labor, including personal assistants, housekeepers, drivers, personal shoppers and others.”
According to the civil suit, Clare and her sister Sara Bronfman allegedly “sponsored, financed, and facilitated” various “experiments,” including forcing various alleged victims to watch video of the “brutal beheading and dismemberment of five women in Mexico.” Clare Bronfman also allegedly was involved with — and allegedly financed — plans for NXIVM to “hire[] 50-60 lawyers from 30 or so law firms to pursue litigation or threats of litigation against actual or perceived potential NXIVM critics,” the civil suit claims.
All of these allegations should be jettisoned from the docket, Bronfman’s attorneys wrote in a small collection of filings on Monday and Tuesday. (Two of the documents contain purported signature dates of Jan. 28, 2022, but were only filed on April 11.)
The defense documents which seek to dismiss the matter start out by saying the plaintiffs “engaged in the same conduct which they now allege caused them harm.” They also claim that the plaintiffs “most obviously . . . desire to seek monetary gain from Defendants perceived to have significant financial resources.”
“Plaintiffs likewise omit to mention that NXIVM’s goal was to help people live more ethical lives and create a more humanitarian society,” one of the documents indicates. “All of that is ignored in service of Plaintiffs’ goal of converting their own participation and leadership in NXIVM into a claim for money damages. The First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) seeks to construct this distorted narrative to obfuscate the fact that it is legally deficient in numerous respects set forth in this motion to dismiss.”
Bronfman’s attorneys then attempted to rubbish the plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint (FAC) as follows:
The 217-page FAC is a sprawling mass of allegations that, as this Court noted, might charitably be read as potentially two different cases: a sexual assault case and consumer-fraud case. Plaintiffs rely on a “throw everything against the wall and see what sticks” approach in an attempt to stitch together a variety of RICO, Chapter 77, and state law claims against fifteen different Defendants. The result is a confusing, overcomplicated—and therefore inadequate—FAC. Even where Defendants are able to untangle the many narrative threads to make sense of Plaintiffs’ many claims, Plaintiffs do not meet their burden to survive a motion to dismiss.
“For her part, Clare Bronfman had little to nothing to do with most of the accusations leveled in the FAC,” the paperwork adds. “Associating her with the oftentimes unsavory and salacious allegations is a thinly veiled effort to intimidate and pressure a woman from a family well known in the national and international community.”
“Simply put, Plaintiffs perceive Clare Bronfman as a deep pocket, and hope to use this litigation to obtain a windfall,” the document continues. “Such strategic (or, at best, careless) pleading should not be rewarded. The FAC does not state cognizable claims against Clare Bronfman and should be dismissed with prejudice.”
In a statement, attorney Ronald S. Sullivan, Jr., who represents Bronfman, echoed similar sentiments.
“Plaintiffs specious legal tactics are about one thing: Clare Bronfman’s money,” Sullivan said. “The Court should not reward this transparent attempt for self-enrichment and the Complaint should be dismissed immediately with prejudice as to Clare Bronfman in its entirety.”

For the past month and a half, Surrey Memorial Hospital has been home to a “groundbreaking” new technology for eye surgery, says a retinal surgeon.
The Surrey Hospitals Foundation has invested $290,000 for two digitally assisted 3D visualization systems for retinal surgery at Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre.
Dr. Steve Levasseur, a retinal surgeon and the department head of vitreoretinal surgery, said it’s the first in B.C.
With the technology, Levasseur said, it has a 3D viewing device “that allows us to provide very extreme high magnification surgeries on delicate tissue with great resolution and better depth of focus.
“As a surgeon, the more you see, obviously the better you can appreciate the tissue and the more you have the ability to achieve the outcome that you’re striving for, which is excellence.”
Levasseur is one of six members of the surgical retinal team that provides care for patients, not only in Surrey and the Fraser Health region but the entire province.
He said the team performs roughly 2,500 surgeries per year.
Retinal diseases, according to the hospitals foundation, are the number-one cause of blindness in the developed world. About one-in-seven Canadians have eye diseases that put them at risk of losing their vision, and as Canada’s population ages that number is expected to double.
“That goes from retinal detachments, complicated cataract surgeries, bleeding in the eye from diabetics, among many others,” Levasseur explained.
And “if not addressed properly, (it) will lead to irreversible blindness,” he said.
Prior to the the 3D technology, Levasseur said only the surgeon would be able to see what’s happening in the eye.
“Before, when we were looking through the microscope we would have these oculars, a very small view, and here we can see we have a 55-inch viewing system, so everything is so magnified.”
Working with Levasseur is Dr. Festus Kwakye, a medical fellow from Ghana. Levasseur said he met Kwakye in Ghana and “he was the all-star there.”
Having Kwakye as a fellow provides an opportunity for him to “learn the skillset required in a very rapid manner, so that when he returns home, he will be a world leader in this field.”
As for Kwakye, getting to working with this new technology has been exciting.
“When I get one into Ghana, it’s going to be the very first in Africa.”

Spain, France book tickets to 2023 Women's World Cup
April 12 (Reuters) - Spain and France became the latest teams to seal places at the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand after winning their qualifying groups on Tuesday, as England took a giant step towards joining them.
Sweden were the first European team to qualify for the World Cup following their earlier 1-1 draw at home to Ireland, and Spain sealed a berth at the finals with Jenni Hermoso's double for a 2-0 Group B victory away to Scotland.
Delphine Cascarino scored the winner just after the break as France defeated Slovenia 1-0 to ensure top spot in Group I. They kept up their 100% record with an eighth straight victory.
The top team in each group advance automatically to the finals, while teams finishing second go through the playoffs.
England's Lauren Hemp and Georgia Stanway netted twice each, and there was a goal for Ella Toone, as the visitors thumped Northern Ireland 5-0 to move closer to automatic qualification.
They have a full haul of 24 points from eight games and will win Group D with at least a draw away to second-placed Austria in their penultimate game in the section in September.
Denmark also made it eight wins from eight with a 2-0 success against Azerbaijan but, as Group E also contains Russia, suspended by FIFA over the country´s invasion of Ukraine, no decision has yet been made on how that section will be decided.
Second-placed Russia had taken 15 points from six games. (Reporting by Nick Said; Editing by Ken Ferris)

Palacký University Olomouc: Breakthrough in the fight against energy crisis--Czech scientists make chemicals and industrial products from sun and minerals
OLOMOUC, Czech Republic , April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The sun instead of electric furnaces and a cheap nanomaterial instead of gold. This is, in a nutshell, the fundamental principle behind a new process that can speed up and make cheaper the production of a wide range of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, or dyes. The technology, which also brings a significant reduction in energy costs and is thus a strong response to the current energy crisis, is based on a nanomaterial newly developed by scientists from the Czech Advanced Technology and Research Institute (CATRIN) of Palacký University Olomouc and the Centre of Energy and Environmental Technologies (CEET) of VSB-TUO, in cooperation with colleagues in Greece and Germany. The composition of the nanomaterial resembles common, naturally occurring minerals, yet it can replace noble metals used so far. Potential investors have already expressed their interest in the material. The discovery was recently published in the Nature Nanotechnology journal.1
"In the current geopolitical situation and the related energy crisis, the European Union has no choice but to look for ways to reduce the costs of industrial production and to make maximum use of new green technologies enabling to end our dependence on energy and raw material resources from Russia," said Radek Zbořil, the Scientific Director of CATRIN-RCPTM and Head of Materials-Environmental Laboratory at CEET.
A team of Czech researchers, alongside colleagues from the scientific institute FORTH in Heraklion, Greece, and the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis in Rostock, Germany, studied the chemical production processes of aniline compounds, which are widely used in the production of pharmaceuticals, plastics, dyes, and agrochemicals. According to data from MarketWatch, the market for aniline compounds is approximately $12 billion per year, with a significant increase on the way. However, their current industrial production is a very costly process, energetically and financially, as it takes place under high temperatures and pressures, and the acceleration of the chemical reaction requires the use of noble metals such as gold, palladium, or platinum.
"The new technology works with chalcopyrite nanoparticles, a common iron-, copper-, and sulfur-based mineral found not only in the Czech Republic but also in many other locations in Europe, America, and Africa. This nanomaterial is cheap, can be easily produced on an industrial scale, and accelerates chemical reactions more efficiently than the mentioned noble metals, only using solar radiation," said Zbořil, describing the advantages of the new technology.
The nanomaterial acts as a so-called plasmonic catalyst. This means that it exhibits a number of unique properties when interacting with sunlight. "Sunlight irradiation induces a cascade of chemical processes in the nanomaterial, with some electrons moving to the surface of the material or even leaving its structure. These 'hot electrons' very effectively activate chemicals that enter industrial production. Simultaneously, the temperature in the immediate surroundings of the nanomaterial increases, which also contributes significantly to the acceleration of the chemical reaction," clarified the nature of the functioning of the nanomaterial Aristeidis Bakandritsos, one of the corresponding authors based in CATRIN Olomouc and CEET Ostrava.
The researchers compared the efficiency of the new system with dozens of commercial materials as well as with recently published catalysts, and observed great results. "The production rate relative to the price of the material is an order of magnitude higher than that of the best competing technologies. Experimentally and theoretically, we have demonstrated that this high efficiency relates to, among other things, the electron structure of the nanomaterial, which harmonically matches the electron structure of other components of the reaction," added Bakandritsos.
The work of Professor Zbořil's research team has capitalized upon the recent discovery of a catalyst deploying iron nanoparticles and showing high efficiency in related processes of pharmaceutical and chemical production, which was published by the Czech-German team in the journal Nature Catalysis at the beginning of the year.2 "The new plasmonic material operates on a different principle and has, in our opinion, greater commercial potential, including a dramatic reduction in energy costs, record efficiency, easy and cheap production, and an elegant technological solution. Therefore, before publishing our research results, we decided to protect the technology with an international patent application. This was the right step, and we are already negotiating industrial applications of the technology with potential investors, especially in Germany," concluded Zbořil.

PARIS, April 12 (Reuters) - Renault RENA.PA Chief Executive Luca de Meo said on Tuesday that the automaker's plans to create a separate division for its electric (EV) assets could eventualy lead to a separate listing.
"This could mean a separate listing. This is a conditional, this is precisely what we are reviewing," De Meo told a news conference.
The plan to separate the combustion engines activity could interest Nissan or long-term investors, he added.

A recent editorial by the Youngstown Vindicator:
Ohio Auditor Keith Faber last week released the results of his department’s annual Ohio Single Audit of the state agencies that administered federally funded programs in fiscal year 2021.
According to Faber’s office, the audit netted 25 findings, four questioned costs totaling more than $1.3 million, and two additional findings that included questioned costs for which amounts could not be determined.
If you are thinking that sounds like a lot, Faber’s office said this year’s audit actually included the lowest number of findings in five years. That is good news.
It also is good to see the kind of fine-toothed comb oversight that can help Ohioans feel a little more comfortable about how their money is being handled.
Part of Faber’s report highlighted a challenge that has made the past couple of years in state government even tougher.
“The combination of high claim volume, lack of effective internal controls, and the increase in impostor fraud negatively impacted the (Ohio Department of Job and Family Services’) ability to keep up, creating a backlog of claims pending adjudication. The Department reported to the U.S. Department of Labor Unemployment Compensation overpayments totaling $3.75 billion as of June 30, 2021. Of these total overpayments, $474.6 million was identified as fraud and $3.27 billion as non-fraud relating to regular unemployment as well as federal pandemic unemployment benefits.”
The auditor’s office seems to be on top of that, too.
Though there is always work to be done, and room for improvement, it is encouraging to know the work of state government is being carried out under such a watchful eye.

A Milroy man who was allegedly high on meth attempted to carjack a good Samaritan with a scissors, according to court documents.
Philip Douglas Sovell, 36, was charged in Redwood County Court with felony counts of 1st & 2nd-degree aggravated robbery, assault, and attempted vehicle theft.
According to a criminal complaint, Sovell was walking on Redwood Co Rd 32 when a good Samaritan stopped to give him a ride because it was cold.
The driver then asked Sovell to get out of the car because he was fidgety and acting like he was on methamphetamine, according to the complaint.
Court documents say Sovell instead attempted to stab the driver with a pair of scissors. Sovell crawled over the center console of the truck and continued to try to stab the driver, who had exited the vehicle to avoid injury, according to the charging document. The victim said Sovell chased him around the truck before he was able to get back inside. He called 911 as he drove away.
Police say the victim appeared very upset and indicated that Sovell had tried to carjack his vehicle.
Sovell was discovered on Co Rd 32 near Aspen Ave, where he failed to follow orders to stop and began running away from officers, according to the complaint. Police say Sovell refused to throw the scissors away from himself as ordered, but instead picked them up and began again to run. He was eventually tased and handcuffed. A meth pipe, orange scissors, and $6,243 in cash were found on Sovell’s person, according to the complaint.
Sovell was transported to a hospital, where he became verbally aggressive with the staff, according to the complaint. Police say Sovell admitted to using meth about two hours earlier and said he uses meth all day and every day.
Sovell said he attempted to get out of the victim’s truck, but was unable to do so.
Sovell is also charged with fleeing a peace officer using means other than a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor.

Bill to commemorate Brown v. Board of Education
Published 5:05 pm Tuesday, April 12, 2022
U.S. Senators Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine applauded unanimous Senate passage of their bipartisan legislation to commemorate the historic sites that catalyzed litigation leading to the 1954 landmark Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. According to a release the bill will expand the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Kansas and designate National Park Service (NPS) Affiliated Areas in Delaware, South Carolina, Kansas, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the legislation would recognize the Moton Museum, formerly the Robert Russa Moton High School, in Farmville, where Barbara Rose Johns led a protest against school segregation and demanded better conditions for Black students.
The 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka transformed the United States, striking down the separate-but-equal doctrine established by Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. The Brown decision ended the practice of legalized segregation in educational facilities and was a major catalyst of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
“Seventy years ago, 16-year-old Barbara Johns led a walkout to protest school segregation alongside all 450 of her fellow Black classmates at the Robert Russa Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia. Ms. Johns’ student-led demonstration spurred one of the five cases that would eventually head to the Supreme Court under the Brown v. Board of Education lawsuit,” said Senator Warner. “As we honor Barbara Johns’ legacy in the halls of Congress with her statue, I’m proud to join this effort to commemorate the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site and further recognize the vital role played by the R.R. Moton School in Farmville in ending school segregation.”
“In April 1951, Barbara Johns led her classmates in a protest to demand better conditions for Black students at the segregated Moton School in Farmville, Virginia. I’m proud the Senate passed our bipartisan bill to honor the Moton Museum and other historic sites connected to Brown v. Board of Education,” said Senator Kaine. “As we approach the 68th anniversary of this landmark ruling, we must continue to tell inspiring stories of Americans fighting for equality and recommit ourselves to upholding the principle of equal protection under the law.”
The legislation was crafted in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In the Senate, the bill was led by U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-DE) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and supported by U.S. Senators Tim Scott (R-SC), Tom Carper (D-DE), Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Roger Marshall (R-KS).
“With the passage of the Brown v. Board National Historic Site Expansion Act to designate all of the sites associated with this monumental Supreme Court case, history is not just memorialized but also made whole,” said Paul Edmondson, President and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “At the National Trust, we have been diligently working to reveal and amplify a more complete view of our national history and we’re pleased to have partnered with Senator Coons and Congressman Clyburn in this important work. The heroism of the communities, parents and schoolchildren who dared to demand equal access to education can now be properly celebrated through these historic places.”
“The Robert R. Moton Museum is excited to join with communities involved in the historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision. In seeking to become an affiliated area of the National Park Service, we know this affiliation will allow us the opportunity to better collaborate with other communities involved in the historic Brown decision as we work to ensure that countless individuals have the opportunity to know of the courage and sacrifice that citizens made towards equality in education,” said Executive Director of the Robert R. Moton Museum Cameron D. Patterson. “The Moton Museum Board of Trustees, Moton Museum Community Council, and our partner institution Longwood University in offering their support towards this effort, recognize that the resources and benefits offered from this affiliation with the National Park Service will only strengthen our ability to fulfill our mission as a museum.”
“This preservation process reveals how all history is truly made,” said Brent Leggs, Executive Director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. “So often it takes more than one great man, woman or even a single community to create change, despite the way the stories of history are often recounted. Actually, it requires many ‘ordinary people with extraordinary vision’ to move a society forward. We applaud those courageous attorneys, families, and activists, some known and others unknown, who put so much at risk to secure educational equality for all Americans. Thanks to our preservation partners, the full history of this landmark case will forever be memorialized and interpreted to inspire the next generation of social justice leaders.”
The creation of NPS Affiliated Areas in Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia for sites associated with the Brown v. Board of Education case and an expansion of the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site to include the related sites in South Carolina provides an opportunity for these sites to tell their own uplifting, under-recognized stories of students, parents and their allies who helped shape American society.
Enactment of this legislation has the potential to appropriately recognize the sites associated with the other four court cases and help them to combine current uses with preservation and public education. In collaboration with local partners and other stakeholders, the National Trust will continue their collective work to bring recognition to communities that fought for school integration, helping these sites to tell their own history of the Brown v. Board of Education case and make connections to other communities engaged in the fight for educational equity, past and present.
On Wednesday, April 6, the bipartisan bill unanimously passed in the House Committee on Natural Resources. The House will soon consider the bill, and then it will go to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law.

‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’, the third installment of the prequel saga of the Harry Potter franchise, finally arrived in theaters overseas. Starring Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law and Mads Mikkelsen, the film had disappointing results in its opening weekend with a box office of $58 million.
According to Variety, these numbers are a far cry from what the second movie of the saga (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald) made in its opening weekend in 2018 ($191 million). However, there’s still time for a recovery as the film will arrive in other markets this weekend, including North America, France, Italy, Korea, Brazil and Mexico.
Either way, it seems like the saga is kind of doomed. The film has had to deal with many problems through its entire production: from delays to JK Rowling’s (who is credited as a screenwriter) comments against transgender women, Ezra Miller's public ourtbursts and, of course, Johnny Depp’s replacement by Mikkelsen as Grindelwald. Here, check out why the actor exited the project.
This is what led Johnny Depp to leave Fantastic Beasts 3
Johnny Depp was casted as Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore’s love interest and a dark wizard who is trying to lead the Wizarding world to a global war. He portrayed the character in the first two films of the series, however, he was forced to leave the franchise after his legal battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard, who is accusing him of domestic violence.
Exactly, Depp resigned from his contract with Warner Bros. in November 2020 after losing a libel case against the British tabloid The Sun, which called him a “wife beater” in an article published in 2018, according to Variety. “I wish to let you know that I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros. from my role as Grindelwald in ‘Fantastic Beasts’ and I have respected and agreed to that request,” the actor announced at the time.
Depp and Heard's legal battle has been extensive. The pair started dating in 2011 and got married in 2015. However, 15 months later they separated and Heard filed for divorce and a temporary domestic violence restraining order, according to multiple reports. They got legally divorced in 2017 after reaching an agreement of $7 million.
Everything seemed amicably between the pair, however, in 2018 Heard published an op-ed in The Washington Post titled I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture's wrath. That has to change. In 2019, the actor launched a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Heard for the article. The trial started this week and other famous figures such as James Franco and Elon Musk could testify.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri residents who file income taxes would be eligible for a $500 tax credit under a new Republican proposal that Democrats panned on Tuesday.
The proposal by the Republican House budget leader would set aside $1 billion in state funding for the tax credits. Married couples filing jointly would get $1,000 under the plan.
Top House Republicans said passing the tax break will be a main priority as lawmakers near their mid-May deadline to finalize legislation.
The House speaker and other top House members in a statement said Republicans "do not support the idea of spending every available dollar to increase the size of government, but instead believe individual Missourians are the best decision makers for how to spend their tax dollars.”
House Democrats on Tuesday criticized the measure as a tax break that wouldn’t help the state’s poorest.
Democrats had proposed setting aside $100 million to give $1,000 checks to poor families who have struggled with housing or food insecurity. Republicans voted that measure down.
St. Louis Democratic Rep. Kevin Windham said the Republican proposal is similar to his previous pitch for stimulus checks “but has the inverse impact.”
“Missourians know the difference between a stimulus check and a tax break so House Republicans should be ashamed of this proposal," he said in a statement.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Seiya Suzuki homered twice, Drew Smyly pitched five scoreless innings and the Chicago Cubs beat Pittsburgh 2-1 on Tuesday, spoiling the Pirates’ home opener.
Suzuki connected for leadoff shots in the fifth and seventh. One of the top players in Japan, Suzuki signed an $85 million, five-year contract with the Cubs last month.
Smyly (1-0) permitted three hits and walked none in his Cubs debut. The left-hander agreed to a one-year contract last month.
Smyly also signed a $10 million, two-year contract with the Cubs in December 2017, but he never pitched for Chicago. Working his way back from Tommy John surgery, he ran out of time to get into a big league game in 2018 and was traded to Texas that November.
The Pirates got their only run on Bryan Reynolds’ homer against Mychal Givens in the eighth.
David Robertson worked a perfect ninth for his second save.
José Quintana (0-1) made his first appearance for Pittsburgh, pitching five effective innings against one of his former teams. The veteran lefty joined the Pirates as a free agent in November after posting a 6.43 ERA in an injury-plagued 2021 season with the Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco.
Suzuki drove a full-count pitch from Quintana deep to right-center in the fifth. He connected against Anthony Banda in the seventh for his third homer in his fourth major league game.
Suzuki has reached base at least twice, scored a run and driven in a run in each game. The last Cubs player to start the season with a longer streak was Mark Grudzielanek with five in 2003.
Smyly induced a career-high 11 groundball outs.
Ian Happ had two hits for Chicago. He is 7 for 10 in three games so far this season.
THOMPSON APPEALS
Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson has appealed his three-game suspension for hitting Milwaukee’s Andrew McCutchen with a pitch Saturday. He remains eligible to play until the appeal process ends.
Manager David Ross served his one-game suspension for the incident. Bench coach Andy Green served as acting manager.
“It’s out of my control. It’s part of the rules,” Ross said when asked if he thought the suspension was justified.
HAYES DEAL DONE
The Pirates and third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes finalized an eight-year, $70 million contract before the game. The deal runs through the 2029 season and includes a club option for 2030.
“To be a cornerstone player means a lot to me,” Hayes, 25, said.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: RHP Alec Mills (low back strain) threw 77 pitches Sunday in extended spring training. He was scheduled for a bullpen season Tuesday in Arizona. ... LHP Wade Miley (left elbow inflammation) played catch before the game.
Pirates: RHP Luis Oviedo (right ankle sprain) began an injury rehabilitation assignment at Low-A Bradenton on Sunday and pitched one scoreless inning.
UP NEXT
Cubs: RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-0, 1.29 ERA) starts on Wednesday. He allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings against Milwaukee on opening day.
Pirates: RHP Zach Thompson (3-7, 3.24 ERA in 2021) makes his debut for Pittsburgh after being acquired from Miami in an offseason trade.

Extreme Poverty Makes Non-Russians Willing To Serve In Even Poorly Equipped Russian Military – OpEd
By Paul Goble
More than 20 percent of Tyvans are unemployed, and more than 40 percent live below the poverty line. As a result, they and other non-Russians are prepared to volunteer for service in the Russian army despite the inadequate support for those who do and even the risk of death, according to the Free Idel-Ural movement.
A few days ago, Tyvan media featured a photograph of a new unit of Tyvan volunteers for the war in Ukraine. It showed many of the new soldiers lacked boots, many of the soldiers were wearing glasses, and some who were clearly far above the prime draft age (idel-ural.org/archives/kreml-poshlet-tuvinczev-umirat-v-ukraine-v-ochkah-i-rezinovyh-botinkah/).
That pattern may strike many as strange given that some might assume that extreme poverty and inadequate equipment might be enough to dissuade Tyvans and other non-Russians from serving; but in fact, the reverse is true. Precisely because non-Russians are doing poorly, they are willing to serve even in an inadequately equipped military.
It isn’t surprising, the movement says, that “the needy and impoverished are prepared to become soldiers in order to have at least some employment.” But “this is a terrible situation. Still more terrible is that not a single Tyvan organization has condemned this step.” Instead, partly out of fear and partly out of understanding, they keep silent or even support their men.

Global Trade Needs More Supply Diversity, Not Less – Analysis
By Davide Malacrino, Adil Mohommad, and Andrea Presbitero*
Countries with trade partners that implemented more stringent lockdowns had a sharper drop in imports. Though trade flows have adjusted, more diversified global value chains could help lessen the impact of future shocks.
The demand and supply shocks unleashed by the pandemic were expected to lead to a dramatic collapse in trade, but international commerce has proven more resilient than during previous global crises.
While goods trade fell sharply in the second quarter of 2020, it bounced back to pre-pandemic levels later in the year. The decline for services in 2020 (such as tourism) was worse, and has recovered more slowly, given persistent restrictions to contain infection in some countries.
International spillovers
Factors specific to the pandemic help explain these trade patterns.
First, goods imports were larger in 2020 than would be predicted by demand (and relative prices) alone, more so in countries with stringent lockdowns or severe outbreaks.
Second, lockdowns had significant—if unintended—international spillovers. Countries with trade partners that implemented more stringent lockdowns experienced larger declines in imports of goods. Trade partner lockdowns accounted, on average, for up to 60 percent of the decline in imports in the first half of 2020. These impacts were larger in industries that rely heavily on global value chains, and are further downstream in the production process (such as electronics).
The effects were short-lived, however, suggesting that global supply chains were resilient. And remote work also lessened the trade spillovers from lockdowns.
Even so, disruptions wrought by the pandemic led to calls for more domestic production of goods (reshoring). Our latest World Economic Outlook shows that dismantling global value chains is not the answer—more diversification, not less, improves resilience.
Global value chains adapted
Trade data affirm this. By mid-2020, Asian countries, which were hit early by COVID-19 but then managed to contain it (just when many European countries imposed severe mobility restrictions) saw an increase in their market share of GVC-related products of 4.6 percentage points in Europe, and 2.3 percentage points in North America. These gains were large and quick by historical standards but as countries adjusted to the pandemic, they’ve partially unwound, suggesting that the changes were likely temporary.
Though global value chains have adjusted, some industries such as automobiles have faced large supply disruptions, pointing to the need to enhance resilience. We analyze two options for building supply chain resilience: diversifying inputs across countries, and greater substitutability of inputs.
Boosting trade resilience
We simulated the effects of disruptions in a global economic model and compared outcomes under higher levels of diversification, or higher substitutability (how easily a producer can switch inputs from a supplier in one country to another). We considered two scenarios: supply disruption in a single, large, input supplier country; and supply shocks to multiple nations.
Our analysis shows that diversification significantly reduces global economic losses in response to supply disruptions. Following a sizable (25 percent) labor supply contraction in a single, large global supplier, gross domestic product for the average economy falls by 0.8 percent under the baseline. In the high-diversification scenario, this decline is reduced by almost half.
Higher diversification also reduces volatility when multiple countries are hit by supply shocks. We estimate that the volatility of economic growth in the average country is reduced by around 5 percent in this scenario. Diversification offers little protection, however, when a major disruption hits all economies at the same time, like the first four months of the pandemic.
Countries can diversify by sourcing more intermediate inputs from abroad. Currently there is a significant “home bias” in the sourcing of such supplies. Firms in the Western Hemisphere, for example, source 82 percent of their intermediates domestically. Re-shoring of production would thus lower diversification further.
Substitutability can be achieved in two ways: through greater flexibility in production, such as when electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc. rewrote software to enable its cars to use alternative semiconductors in response to the semiconductor shortage; or by standardizing inputs internationally. For example, General Motors Co. recently announced that it is working with semiconductor suppliers to reduce the number of unique chips that it uses by 95 percent, down to just three families of microcontrollers. This standardization would replace a host of chips, eliminating the costs of substituting between them.
Considering again the scenario of a 25 percent labor supply contraction in a large global supplier of intermediate inputs, we find that with greater substitutability, GDP losses in all countries (other than the source country) are reduced by about four-fifths.
Policy implications
Ensuring equitable access to vaccines and treatments remains the first policy priority. Recent targeted lockdowns in China are a reminder that pandemic-related restrictions continue to have an impact far beyond the affected country. It is in the self-interest of all countries, including those with high vaccination rates to end the acute phase of the pandemic everywhere.
Amid rising concerns regarding global economic fragmentation and “friendshoring” following the war in Ukraine, our analysis also shows that greater diversification and substitutability in inputs can enhance resilience. While corporate decisions will predominantly shape the future resilience of global value chains, government policies can help by providing a supportive environment and lowering the costs.
One obvious area is improved infrastructure. The pandemic has shown that infrastructure investments in certain areas are critical to mitigate supply disruptions related to trade logistics. For example, upgrading and modernizing port infrastructure on key global shipping routes would help reduce global chokepoints. Better digital infrastructure to facilitate telework can also help mitigate spillovers to other countries.
Governments can also help to make information more widely available, so firms can make more strategic decisions. For example, automobile manufacturers on average conduct business directly with about 250 Tier1 suppliers, but this number rises to 18,000 suppliers in the full value chain. Improving access to information on inter-firm transactions and supply chain networks, by for example, digitalizing firms’ document filings, such as tax returns, can be helpful, especially for smaller firms with fewer resources.
Finally, reducing trade costs can help diversify inputs. There is room to reduce non-tariff barriers, which would give a significant medium-term economic boost, especially in emerging markets and low-income developing countries. In addition, reducing trade policy uncertainty, and providing an open and stable, rules-based trade policy regime, can support greater diversification.
— This article, based on Chapter 4 of the April 2022 World Economic Outlook, “Global Trade and Value Chains During the Pandemic,” includes research by Galen Sher and Ting Lan, under the guidance of Shekhar Aiyar, and support from Shan Chen, Bryan Zou, Youyou Huang, and Ilse Peirtsegaele. The analysis was concluded in early 2022, prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and does not focus on the implications of the war for global trade and value chains.

Bronx stray bullet victim Angellyh Yambo was dressed in her Sweet 16 gown and tiara in a pristine white casket Monday as shattered family and friends gathered to pay their respects and grieve her senseless death.
The teen — cut down by a 17-year-old gunman wielding a “ghost gun” Friday afternoon — cast a tragic figure in bright pink, with pink eyeshadow, shiny nails and a flowery tiara. She clutched a white rose, and a butterfly decal adorned the back of the casket.
Tears flowed at the Williams Funeral Home in Kingsbridge as the slain teen’s mom greeted mourners, accepting hugs. She occasionally bent over her daughter’s casket, rubbing the teen’s hands and leaning in close, as if she was speaking to her.
“I’m a parent myself, and it’s not supposed to be the parents burying their child. It’s the other way around,” said mourner Hector Torres, 45, wiping his eyes as he left the funeral home.
Torres doesn’t live far from the building where Angellyh’s father worked for years as a doorman.
Occasionally, the proud dad would bring her with him to work, and take her to trick-or-treat on Halloween.
Angellyh was “full of energy, young, beautiful,” he recalled. “What kids are supposed to be.”
Her accused killer, Jeremiah Ryan, 17, was wielding a build-it-yourself “ghost gun” when he fired a half-dozen bullets a half-block away, near University Heights High School’s South Bronx Campus, police said. Angellyh was fatally struck; two other teens were wounded.
Ryan is charged with murder and is being held without bail.
“It hurts. They could bring him to justice, they could give him life, they could give him capital punishment. But it’s not going to bring the kid back,” Torres said.
Flower arrangements from friends and community groups lined the room, some shaped like hearts and butterflies. A TV screen flashed photos of Angellyh — including baby pictures and an image of her at her January Sweet 16 party, wearing the same pink, sparkling dress.
Several relatives wore shirts emblazoned with her Sweet 16 photo, and a heart on the back with words reading, “Angie you are forever in our hearts.”
Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark briefly joined the mourners, offering condolences to Angellyh’s family.

“Beautiful family. Her two grandmothers live in the building. Beautiful children, A-student. Never hung in the hallways, nothing,” neighbor Phellissia Adams, 71, said as she left the funeral home.
“I remember when she was a baby, with the grandmother. I love both grandmothers. Her parents are beautiful people.”
Adams said she was shocked to learn the teenage gunman was using a “ghost gun,” which are made by local gun dealers who fabricate some parts with 3D printers, and order the parts they can’t make from online vendors.
“Unbelievable. They should do away with ‘ghost guns’. I’m going to the mayor’s office. They gotta do something about ‘ghost guns’,” she said. “I’m at a loss for words.”
Angellyh will be laid to rest Wednesday in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin has resigned effective immediately. His resignation came hours after he was arrested on charges of bribery, honest services wire fraud, and falsification of records.
Benjamin was arrested Tuesday in a federal corruption investigation. The indictment alleges that he schemed to obtain campaign contributions for his failed bid for New York City comptroller from a real estate developer in exchange for a $50,000 state grant. He reportedly offered his official authority and influence in the New York State Senate to funnel the funds.
After his arrest, Benjamin resigned from his position as lieutenant governor. Attorneys issued a statement on his behalf, saying:
“There has never been a federal case like this in America. Brian supported a $50,000 grant to Friends of Public School Harlem. Every dollar was to buy supplies for public school students in Harlem. There was nothing inappropriate about this grant.
After today’s charges, Brian will resign his duties as Lieutenant Governor and suspend his campaign. He will focus his energies on explaining in court why his actions were laudable—not criminal.”
He looks forward to when this case is finished so he can rededicate himself to public service.”
Gov. Kathy Hochul said she accepted his resignation and said in-part: “While the legal process plays out, it is clear to both of us that he cannot continue to serve as Lieutenant Governor. New Yorkers deserve absolute confidence in their government, and I will continue working every day to deliver for them.”
New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins will now become acting lieutenant governor while still maintaining her leadership role. An exact timeline on the process has not been made public, yet.
Benjamin was sworn-in as lieutenant governor in September after Hochul took on the top job upon the resignation of former governor Andrew Cuomo over sexual harassment allegations. Benjamin said he was vetted by New York State Police when the probe into his previous campaign’s finances began.
“The state police did a thorough investigation. I participated in that, and the state police gave a recommendation to the governor,” he said. “And that was the process. That typically is the process for any appointments. I followed the process as it was supposed to be followed.”
Prior to becoming lieutenant governor, Benjamin was a state senator from Harlem. He has a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Brown University and a master’s of business administration from Harvard Business School and worked as a developer of affordable housing. He was the state’s second Black lieutenant governor.
The New York State Democratic Primary is in June. The New York State Board of Elections told NEWS10 Benjamin’s arrest would not take him off the ballot. A conviction would put him out of office by operation of law; however, he’d still be on the ballot despite his resignation. Hochul could pick a new sitting lieutenant governor. If she does, it still does not change Benjamin’s ballot status.

Billy Corgan Thinks Jon Moxley Has A Rockstar's Charisma
Posted By: Guy Incognito on Apr 12, 2022
Billy Corgan recently spoke with the Under The Ring podcast, where he was asked what rock band in history he thinks would have made a good tag team in professional wrestling.
“Right off the top of my head, like imagine Vince Neil and Tommy Lee from Motley Crue as a tag team. Like The Freebirds, but more like an 80s rocker type of thing. It’d definitely draw money, right?”
On thinking Jon Moxley has a rockstar charisma:
“In the reverse, Moxley. Moxley has a rockstar charisma. He just does. Rockstars have a kind of weird thing where you kind of can’t stop looking at them People usually akin it to beauty, and there are, of course, beautiful rockstars. Moxley has got that weird thing like Kurt Cobain had, like Iggy Pop has. You just kind of look at him. He’s got kind of a rugged charisma, and I’m sure his wife would agree. You could definitely see Moxley fronting a band."

AKRON, Ohio — An Akron man whose DNA was connected to an Akron woman’s rape in 1991 but couldn’t be charged due to the statute of limitations has been formally charged for a 2010 sexual assault, just days before he was set to be released from prison after serving his sentence for another crime.
Derrick Fischer, 51, is now facing two counts of rape connected to a 2010 sexual assault. News 5 Investigator Sarah Buduson first told you about Fischer in her exclusive investigation “Expired Justice,” which revealed how Ohio law allows some rapists to walk free.
RELATED: Despite DNA evidence, statute of limitations prevents prosecution of Ohio rape cases
In 2019, Mary Ellen Bryan, an Akron mother, told us DNA from her rape kit matched Fischer. But he was never arrested, charged, or prosecuted for what happened in 1991. Because for Bryan, justice had expired.
“There was a violent crime where my children were home,” Bryan told News 5 in 2019. ”And he got away with it."
Like most states, Ohio has a statute of limitation for rape. The law creates a clock. It starts when the crime is committed and runs out after 25 years.
“It punishes the victims,” Bryan said. “It's another assault on us. We don't get, you know, what we deserve."
Even though there was DNA evidence in Bryan’s case, by the time it was finally tested, it was too late.
“When my kit was tested, they found a DNA match that came through CODIS [the Combined DNA Index System]. And that match was that it was a person named Derrick Fischer.”
But when Mary Ellen was attacked, Ohio’s statute of limitations was only 20 years.
Prosecutors explained to her, that on June 29, 2011, her window to receive justice closed.
According to the Ohio Attorney General’s office, Bryan’s case was one of 61 cases where no one can ever be prosecuted, despite a DNA match discovered during the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative, which was started in 2012 by then-Attorney General Mike DeWine to DNA test the state’s backlog of sexual assault kits.
However, Bryan’s rape kit wasn’t the only one that matched Fischer, and in that other case, there was time to prosecute.
Police said Fischer's DNA hit on a 2010 Barberton rape, and now, he’s facing two new charges for that crime.
In a statement provided to News 5, Bryan said: “It was devastating that the statute of limitations for rape prevented any accountability for the violent crime committed against me. But I am hopeful that this victim will receive the justice they deserve."
Fischer is already behind bars. He was convicted in 2016 on drug and domestic violence charges. He was also convicted of another rape in Akron back in 1992.

NZD/USD appeared to be threatening the ascending channel from earlier this year as it slipped toward the 50-Day SMA (0.6799), but the exchange rate may continue to hold above the moving average as it snaps the series of lower highs and lows from the yearly high (0.7034).
NZD/USD bounces back from a fresh monthly low (0.6806) as theUS Consumer Price Index (CPI)generates a bearish reaction in the US Dollar, and the exchange rate may stage a larger recovery over the coming days as it seems to be carving a bullish outside day candle formation.
NZD/USD Rate Daily Chart
Source: Trading View
The broader outlook for NZD/USD remains constructive as it cleared the opening range for 2022 in March, with the 50-Day SMA (0.6799) developing a positive slope as the exchange rate established an upward trending channel.
Nevertheless, lack of momentum to close above the Fibonacci overlap around 0.6940 (50% expansion) to 0.6990 (23.6% retracement) pushed NZD/USD below channel support, but the exchange rate appears to be reversing course ahead of the 50-Day SMA (0.6799) as it snaps the series of lower highs and lows from the yearly high (0.7034).
Failure to break below the 0.6770 (23.6% expansion) to 0.6810 (38.2% expansion) area may push NZD/USD back above the 0.6870 (50% retracement) region, with a move above the 200-Day SMA (0.6902) bringing the overlap around 0.6940 (50% expansion) to 0.6990 (23.6% retracement) back on the radar.
However, a break/close below the 0.6770 (23.6% expansion) to 0.6810 (38.2% expansion) area opens up the March low (0.6729), with the next area of interest coming in around 0.6690 (38.2% expansion) to 0.6710 (61.8% expansion).

Shoreline will consider legalizing new duplexes and triplexes in all of its residential neighborhoods, though a decision won’t be made for many months and the details are still up for debate.
In a split vote Monday night, Shoreline’s City Council directed the city’s planning department to study and conduct public outreach about the potential change, which one leader described as a natural evolution for the suburb north of Seattle and another said could be a radical step.
Similar proposals are under discussion in cities across the region and at the state level; a bill that would have legalized “missing middle” housing like duplexes and triplexes near transit lines in communities throughout Washington failed in February after attracting widespread attention.
The planning amendment proposed by Shoreline Councilmember Chris Roberts would “explicitly allow duplexes and triplexes” on lots in the city’s low-density residential zones. Currently, only single-family houses are allowed on most lots in those neighborhoods, due to units-per-acre density limits (basement apartments and backyard cottages are also allowed, though only when the property owner lives on-site).
Shoreline’s planning department will analyze the potential change, both in terms of effects to the environment and in terms of policy options. The council could allow duplexes and triplexes on every lot or only in certain circumstances, said Jim Hammond, a city spokesperson. For example, the council could choose to allow triplexes only on corner lots, Hammond said.
The planning department will also undertake an extensive public engagement process with a racial equity component, geared to involve people of all backgrounds and then make recommendations to the city’s planning commission, Hammond said. The commission, in turn, will hold public hearings and then make recommendations to the council.
All that will take months, if not years, said Steve Szafran, one of Shoreline’s senior planners. Planning amendments are normally sent to the council to approve or reject in November or December each year. But the proposed amendment is an unusually substantial one, so the planning department’s work may stretch into 2023, Szafran said.
Roughly 70% of Shoreline is currently zoned for low-density residential development, with apartments and businesses allowed near Aurora Avenue North, around the light-rail stations under construction at 145th Street North and 185th Street North, and in other select spots.
That means the amendment proposed by Roberts could, theoretically, triple the housing allowed on most lots in the city, Mayor Keith Scully said Monday.
Duplexes and triplexes are needed in Shoreline and in nearby communities because of a housing shortage in the region, Roberts said, with more than 40,000 additional units needed now and more than 800,000 needed by 2050, according to the Puget Sound Regional Council.
The council member described growing up near a duplex and living in a two-unit building during graduate school. Those structures blended in with single-family houses, he said. Shoreline can complement his high-level planning amendment with more technical development codes to ensure that new duplexes and triplexes in the city look appropriate, Roberts added, calling the change a natural evolution for Shoreline.
The planning department advised the council to hold off on Roberts’ request and to instead study duplexes and triplexes as part of a major planning update due in 2024. That update will include other topics and “allow for greater public participation,” the department wrote.
Deputy Mayor Betsy Robertson opposed Roberts’ request, characterizing the idea as “not fully baked.” Mayor Scully backed the request, saying Shoreline needs to check out more housing options. But he said he would hesitate to support allowing duplexes and triplexes on every lot.
“This will be a different city if you start seeing triplexes popping up” in large numbers, Scully said. “Studying this to see if there’s a way we can do it without radically changing the city, for me, makes sense.”
The vote was 4-3, as Councilmembers Eben Pobee and John Ramsdell joined Roberts and Scully in supporting the request. Councilmembers Doris Fujioka McConnell and Laura Mork joined Robertson in opposition.

SkyTrain riders will now see short video advertisements projected onto windows when they ride eastbound from Waterfront Station to Burrard Station in downtown Vancouver.
The installation is part of a new advertising project between TransLink and Vancouver-based media and technology company adtrackmedia.
The technology works with a system of sensors installed within transit tunnels. When they sense a train is approaching, they trigger a vertical array of 360 LED lights, which in turn display smooth, in-motion videos onto all the windows. They are silent and last about 10 seconds.
And here it is. Full-motion videos can now play across windows for riders travelling in the Dunsmuor tunnel. pic.twitter.com/eSoUIKNzKw
— Jane Skrypnek (@janeskrypnek) April 12, 2022
It’s the first use of such technology by a transit agency in North America, according to TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn. He said he expects it to be a significant revenue source for his company and its transit partners.
The first year of its use has already been purchased by Telus, although Quinn said some space will always be reserved for TransLink customer messaging. The cost of installation of maintenance of the technology is covered by adtrackmedia.
Now on display eastbound from Waterfront Station to Burrard Station, the advertising will also be introduced in the coming months from Stadium-Chinatown Station to Granville Station. Depending on how they go, it may be further expanded to more SkyTrain tunnels in the future.

Martin County Library looking toward season of activities
INEZ, Ky. (WYMT) - The Martin County Library is settling into its new main branch location at the Collier Center in Inez, celebrating the season ahead with a schedule full of children’s activities.
Tuesday, families gathered for story time and an Easter egg hunt, filling the halls and play room of the space. Organizers said it was great to have so many smiling faces in the library after the pandemic forced a lot of changes over the last couple of years.
“It was just so exciting to feel them come through the door. All that energy. And they’ve got somewhere safe and somewhere that they can be nurtured into learning,” said Children’s Coordinator Deborah Hinkle.
Now, they are preparing for a spring and summer booked full of entertaining events and summer reading. You can follow the library here to see schedules and updates.

SUNSET PARK, Brooklyn (PIX11) — Police identified Frank R. James, 62, as a person of interest in connection with Tuesday morning’s Brooklyn subway attack.
Officials do not have evidence he was the same person who actually committed the shooting. Ten people were shot in the attack.
James’ name was connected to a U-Haul sought in connection with the attack, official said. A key was left behind at the scene of the shooting. Police connected that to a U-Haul with Arizona plates, which they later located in Brooklyn. James had rented the U-Haul.
“We’re looking to determine if he has any connection to the train,” NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
There were some “concerning” social media posts police believe may be connected to James, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. They mentioned homelessness and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Security for the mayor was increased because of the posts.
James has addresses in Wisconsin and Philadelphia. The U-Haul was rented in Philadelphia.
At the scene of the attack, officers also recovered a 9mm semi-automatic weapon and a hatchet. They found a liquid believed to be gasoline and a bag with commercial-grade fireworks inside.
No arrests have been made. Police described the suspected gunman as being around 5 feet, 5 inches tall. The man weighs around 175-200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gas mask and a construction vest. Police initially said the vest was green, but later officials said it was orange. The man also had on a gray, hooded sweatshirt.
Submit tips to police by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), visiting crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, downloading the NYPD Crime Stoppers mobile app, or texting 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577. Spanish-speaking callers are asked to dial 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Fearless teenager Ismaël Koné a revelation for CF Montréal
Midfielder from N.D.G. is turning heads in MLS and with national team just over a year after making jump from CS Saint-Laurent youth soccer.

At age 19, there’s probably nothing unusual about Ismaël Koné, an only child, living at home with his mother in N.D.G.

Article content
Or about him expecting her to have his favourite meal — fried plantain with beef or chicken — waiting on the table, usually on a weekly basis, when he returns home.
What potentially goes against the norm is the fact Koné is a professional athlete — a central and attacking midfielder for CF Montréal, in his first full season with the MLS club. And, before the 2022 season’s put to rest, Koné might be remembered as the breakout star for the team.
The rapidly improving 6-foot-2, 168-pounder is mature beyond his years. Only six matches into the regular season, Koné arguably has been the biggest surprise — a player who doesn’t look out of place at this level.
“There’s so much joy for me to finally get to this point,” Koné told the Montreal Gazette following Tuesday’s training session at Centre Nutrilait. “I haven’t accomplished that much, but it’s a good beginning. It’s good for me to continue to progress and be better. It tells me to keep pushing.”

Despite Koné’s claim, the facts are indisputable.
Barely more than a year ago, he was playing youth soccer with CS Saint-Laurent. He eventually joined CFM on a trial, mostly training with the under-23 side. But when roster space materialized last August, he was signed as a homegrown, agreeing to a two-year contract, plus a club option for two additional seasons.
In six games this season, including five starts, Koné has a goal and two assists over 385 minutes. He scored a goal in his pro debut against Santos Laguna in Champions League play and, only last month, was added to Canada’s national team for its March window of games.
Koné played 10 minutes against Costa Rica. While he remained on the bench against Jamaica — when Canada secured a World Cup berth for the first time since 1986 — he started and played the opening half against Panama.

To say Koné has been a revelation would be an understatement. National team head coach John Herdman said he was impressed by Koné’s “fearless mindset.” After scoring against Santos Laguna, CF Montréal manager Wilfried Nancy said: “That’s the Ismaël we know, capable of influencing things in his first match.”
CFM teammate Mathieu Choinière has described Koné as a hidden “wild-card.” And during a 3-3 draw against Atlanta United this season, Koné was involved in all three goals. Following the game, Djordje Mihailovic, the club’s most valuable player last season, said the prospect “has a very high development ceiling in my opinion.”

Koné said fame won’t change him as a player or person, vowing to remain grounded and humble, and generally avoids social and mainstream media.
“This is the life that I wanted,” Koné said. “I chose it and knew every single part of this job … everything that would come when you start playing and everybody starts to know you. I’m not overwhelmed. It’s surprising that it’s happening so fast but, in a way, you expect this from soccer.
“If I don’t play good, they won’t be talking about me. It’s nice that they’re talking good, but it’s not what fuels me to keep going. It’s my will to become bigger and better.”
Born in Ivory Coast, Koné joined his mother, Susan, in Montreal just before his eighth birthday. Although his father, Salifou, has remained in Africa, the two FaceTime regularly and Koné visited him in December.

“She was able to fulfill the job of being both parents,” Koné said. “She did a very good job. She’s a great woman, calm. She doesn’t speak a lot, but she’s very smart. … That’s my mom.”
On the pitch, Koné considers himself fearless. He wants the ball in tight, dangerous places. Good with his feet and a strong runner, Koné’s technically sound — a strong passer and dribbler who reads the game well and covers lots of ground. He has a dramatic flair, lives for meaningful moments and wants to develop into a dominant player who dictates matches.
Like most at this level, Koné hopes to eventually make the transition to European soccer.
“I’m happy to be here and grateful to have this chance to fulfill my dream,” he said. “I’ll never change my personality. Never. Never. I’ll always be me.”

The Egyptian authorities are facing questions following the mysterious death of a prominent economist, who had been missing since early February, amid fears that he was tortured in custody.
Ayman Mohamed Ali Hadhoud, 48, was a founding member of the liberal Reform and Development Party and a critic of president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi’s economic policies.
Hadhoud died on 5 March, two months after he went missing. But his family said that they were only informed of his death on Saturday, a full month later. They said they were told to come and collect his body from the government-run Abbasiya Mental Health Hospital in Cairo.
His family alleged that he was detained by National Security Agency (NSA) agents in February. They also fear that authorities killed him and are now trying to cover up the incident.
The cause and circumstances of Hadhoud’s death remain unclear and have led to a growing public outrage.
After Hadhoud went missing on 5 February this year, his family was informed by the police that he was detained at the Amiriya Police Station, a site belonging to the National Security Agency, his brother Omar Hadhoud told Mada Masr. However, NSA officials denied taking him into custody.
Only a week after his disappearance did the family learn that Hadhoud had been transferred to Abbasiya hospital for a 45-day psychiatric evaluation.
“We anticipated that he had a nervous breakdown from the amount of questioning and torture, but we were glad that he was alive,” a family member told the Middle East Eye.
They said the family made multiple attempts to try and visit Hadhoud in hospital. But the hospital turned them away each time and told them to approach the prosecution authorities.
But these authorities denied having any information on Hadhoud’s whereabouts, and so the family was unable to visit the economist.
Official accounts on why Hadhoud was referred to the psychiatric hospital in the first place have also differed, adding to the family’s doubts.
The interior ministry, which oversees the police in Egypt, said on Sunday that Hadhoud was pronounced dead in the Cairo hospital, without providing more details. It added that Hadhoud was detained on 6 February for attempting to break into an apartment in an upscale Cairo district, and exhibiting “irresponsible behavior”.
“Legal measures were taken at the time and he was placed in a psychiatric hospital based on the decision of the public prosecution,” it added.
However, hospital records reveal that Hadhoud was held for allegedly attempting to steal a car in the city of Senbellawein in Daqahlia, a version that public prosecutors at Nasr City Police Station repeated while speaking with his family.
According to local reports, Hadhoud was kept in a section belonging to the Forensic Medicine Department, overseen by the interior ministry, where suspects or convicts requiring psychiatric evaluation are held.
Slamming the contradictory accounts, the economist’s brother Omar said the public prosecution and other security authorities had said till Saturday that they did not even know where Hadhoud was.
Only at the end of March, when the family was finally able to communicate with a hospital employee, were they informed that the economist had died earlier that month.
The family members also claimed that there was “an attempt to bury the body in a charity-oriented cemetery” in a bid to hide evidence even though Hadhoud had his national ID when he was forcibly disappeared.
Remembering the graduate from the School of Business Administration at the American University in Cairo as a calm and considerate person, Hadhoud’s friend told the Middle East Eye that his work was “not supercritical and he was not active online”.
“Nor did he share radical criticism of the regime or the country’s policies,” he added.
The economist’s death has sparked widespread outrage in the country, which has seen a number of alleged instances of police and custodial abuse in recent years.
In 2016, an Italian doctoral student was found brutally killed on the side of a Cairo road. Italy alleged that police officers had abducted and murdered him, but Egypt denied the charge.
Activists and academics have taken to social media to denounce Hadhoud’s death and many have called for an investigation.
The interior ministry has, however, denied any allegations of wrongdoing or forced disappearances.
A branch of the public prosecution in Cairo’s Nasr City ordered an autopsy on Sunday as contradicting official accounts emerged following the disappearance.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the death of a 19-year-old College of Charleston student.
Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal identified the student as Benjamin B. Wills III, of Bethesda, Maryland.
O’Neal said the 19-year-old died Monday at the Glenn McConnell Residence Hall off Wentworth Street.
The cause of death is pending.
College of Charleston Department of Public Safety Chief Chip Searson requested SLED to investigate the matter in accordance with the Jessica Horton Act. It requires public colleges and universities in South Carolina to notify the agency if there is a death on campus.
Alicia Caudill, Executive Vice President for Student Affairs at the College of Charleston, released a message to the campus on Tuesday which said:
“Dear Campus Community,
It saddens me deeply to share with you the news of the passing of our student, Benjamin “Ben” Wills. Ben was a first year student from Maryland.
Even in just this first year, Ben made strong connections across campus and will be deeply missed by friends in his fraternity, residence hall, and classes. His friends described him as smart, funny, friendly, and kind. His faculty described him as highly engaged in his course work. Ben is survived by his parents, Tim and Stacey, and by his sister, Maggie, along with many other family members and friends. We ask that you please keep Ben’s family and friends in your thoughts during this most difficult of times.
We know grief over losses like this affects all of us differently. Please find attached a resource sheet, which includes contact information for our Counseling Center along with self-care strategies.
A community is a community because its members turn to each other for support during trying times. Losing close friends and fellow students is always difficult and brings forth sorrow. Our community exudes care and compassion through each individual member and through its organized resources. Please remind one another about the number of resources available, and encourage each other to utilize them.”

MANCHESTER — “It all started with a one-page letter,” read the headline of a 1985 issue of the Kennebec Journal, displayed on a bulletin board Tuesday in the corner of the Manchester Elementary School library. Alongside it were several other newspaper clippings from when Maine-born Samantha Smith sent a letter to the Soviet Union in 1982, urging for peace.
The piece of mail marked a “world-changing” event for 10-year-old Samantha and her community of Manchester. As the 40th anniversary of the letter approaches this November, Manchester Elementary teachers have realized how relevant her story is to today’s current events.
“Her life became completely different because she asked a question about something in the news, and something that made her scared,” teacher Mary O’Brien said. “I’m not saying to become famous, but to ask questions when you have them.”
Samantha is regularly talked about during the “World Changers” curriculum at the 3rd grade level at Manchester Elementary School, where she attended in the 1980s. But because of the pandemic, the current 4th and 5th graders missed out on her story, so they were given a robust presentation Tuesday morning from teachers who knew her and went to school with her, as well as Joe Owen, a former Kennebec Journal reporter who met Samantha and wrote a story about her before she embarked to the Soviet Union.
Samantha died in a 1985 plane crash, at 13.
AdvertisementThe teachers — O’Brien, Jessica Dwyer and Shannon Cole — took the students through Samantha’s story and shared some of their own personal stories about her. Dwyer was Samantha’s best friend and Cole had Spanish class with her. O’Brien started teaching the year after Samantha died and recalled the sorrow the school felt the school year after her death.
O’Brien reiterated the point to the students that Samantha had seen something she thought was “scary” in the news and asked her parents — Manchester residents Arthur Smith and Jane Goshorn — about it.
Her mother encouraged Samantha to write a letter to Yuri Andropov, then general secretary of the Communist Party and premier of the Soviet Union. A year later, in 1983, she received a reply — but not until a reporter visited the elementary school to interview her and ask if she heard back from the Soviet leader. Samantha’s letter was printed in a newspaper in the Soviet Union.
“If you hear things on the news that make you scared, or worried, ask questions and talk to an adult, like she did,” O’Brien said during the presentation, strongly alluding to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
When Samantha received her letter back from the Soviet Union, her world as she knew it, changed overnight.
AdvertisementIn the letter, Andropov asked her and her family to take a trip to the Soviet Union and invited her to attend a summer camp there. Before she traveled, she met Owen, who helped Samantha pick out potato pins and other memorabilia to bring as gifts on her trip.
On Tuesday, Owen explained to the Manchester students what the Soviet Union was and showed them a map of the republics that composed it. He told them how Samantha never got to see “peace” within the state, which crumbled six years after her death.
Dwyer and Cole talked about establishing “Project SAME,” or the Samantha Smith Soviet-American Exchange, with former Maranacook Community High School teacher William Preble after Samantha’s death. The motto of the club was, “All kids are the S.A.M.E,” and the teachers said it felt especially true when they realized the love for Samantha both the U.S. and Soviet Union had, despite being completely different.
“We wore the motto on everything, on T-shirts, sweatshirts, trying to encourage the idea of peace,” Cole said to the students. “And you have to understand, we were living in fear of the Soviet Union, and to have this relationship, it was a big change.”
AdvertisementThrough the program, students from Maine were able to take a trip to the Soviet Union, then the year after, Soviet students could visit Maine. The students from the Soviet Union came to Maine to attend a summer camp in Hope, and on the anniversary of Samantha’s death, they all shared stores, hugged and cried together.
No language barrier could misinterpret the love they shared for her.
“We are all the same was our motto, but we are no different, we couldn’t speak the same language, but we were all the same,” Cole said to the students. “When we hear on the news about other countries, we can think they are bad from what we hear, but deep down they are the same as us. My takeaway is: We are all the same when it comes down to heart.”
Dwyer was able to visit the Soviet Union to celebrate Samantha’s life and had to experience it in the same way Samantha had, following in her footsteps. She said Samantha “was so famous” over there.
AdvertisementTo this day, Dwyer gets inquiries from other schools across the country asking if she can share more information on Samantha and she even gets emails from what was formerly the Soviet Union, asking for her to share. “She is still very much alive in people’s hearts,” Dwyer said.
O’Brien ended the presentation by urging students to “be the change you want to see,” and encouraged them to ask questions.
“Every decision on how we treat the Earth, our friends, our family — it makes a difference,” she said. “I don’t expect you all to change the world, but in your tiny world, you can make a difference.”

Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck engaged for a second time
(NEXSTAR) – Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged for a second time — nearly 20 years after they announced their first engagement in 2002.
Lopez broke the news Friday evening on social media, telling her fans she had a “really exciting and special story to share” via her “On the JLo” newsletter. Subscribers who visited the newsletter’s site were greeted with a video of Lopez on the verge of tears while she adjusted what appeared to be an engagement ring with a green stone.
“You’re perfect,” her voice could be heard saying at the end of the video.
A representative for Lopez confirmed to People that she and Affleck were indeed engaged.
Will Smith banned from Academy Awards events for 10 yearsLopez and Affleck first became an item in 2002 and were engaged later that year. The called off the engagement in 2004.
Both Lopez and Affleck have each been married since their split — Lopez to singer Marc Anthony, and Affleck to actor Jennifer Garner. Lopez was also engaged to former MLB player Alex Rodriguez in 2019, though the two called it quits in 2021.
Lopez and Affleck were again spotted together in mid-2021. Lopez confirmed the relationship in July of that year, in an Instagram post that included a photo of she and Affleck kissing.

HOUSTON (AP) — Members of a Texas House committee on Tuesday repeatedly pressed a prosecutor to use his authority to stop the April 27 execution of a woman whose conviction is being questioned amid growing doubts about whether she fatally beat her 2-year-old daughter.
But during a sometimes contentious hearing, Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz initially resisted calls from lawmakers that he ask a judge to recall the death warrant for Melissa Lucio, suggesting at first he didn’t have the power to do so, then later saying there was no legal reason for him to act as various appeals court are still considering requests in her case. He later declared his belief the execution would be stopped.
“I believe the (Texas Court of Criminal Appeals) will issue a stay and that is the way the system works,” Saenz said.
But lawmakers on the Interim Study Committee on Criminal Justice Reform expressed frustration during the meeting in Austin that Saenz would not “push the pause button” himself.
“Washing your hands to make this decision yourself to me is very shocking,” said state Rep. Jeff Leach, the committee’s chair.
Saenz pushed back, saying he disagreed with claims by Lucio’s attorneys that there was new evidence that would exonerate her.
“I am not washing my hands of this. I am dealing with it and there are hard decisions to make. You disagree with me but that doesn’t mean I am washing my hands of it,” Saenz said.
Saenz later said that if an appeals courts didn’t take action to stop Lucio’s execution, he would work to delay it so the various legal claims pending in the case could be reviewed.
State Rep. Joe Moody said he believed if there are mistakes in a case, “it is the duty and the moral responsibility of a prosecutor to right those wrongs.”
But Saenz disagreed, saying courts “call the errors, not me.”
Tuesday’s hearing was led by Leach and Moody, who are part of a bipartisan group of more than 80 Texas House members who are troubled by Lucio’s case and believe new evidence shows she did not fatally beat her daughter Mariah in 2007 in the South Texas city of Harlingen.
The lawmakers last month sent a letter to the state’s Board of Pardons and Paroles and Gov. Greg Abbott asking them to grant an execution reprieve or commute her sentence.
Leach and Moody were among a group of seven lawmakers who last week visited Lucio on women’s death row in Gatesville, Texas.
Prosecutors have maintained Mariah was the victim of child abuse as her body was covered in bruises. A medical examiner testified Mariah died from a blow to her head. Authorities say Lucio had a history of drug abuse and at times had lost custody of some of her 14 children.
But Lucio’s lawyers say jurors never heard forensic evidence that would have explained Mariah’s various injuries were actually caused by a fall down a steep staircase. They also say Lucio wasn’t allowed to present evidence questioning the validity of her confession, which they allege was given under duress after hours of relentless questioning.
Several jurors from her trial have also expressed doubts about her conviction.
One of those jurors, Johnny Galvan Jr., appeared before the committee. In a statement that was read by his daughter, Galvan said he believed Lucio’s lawyers failed to present pertinent evidence in her case and he felt pressured by other jurors to sentence her to death.
“I will be haunted by Ms. Lucio’s execution if it goes forward,” Galvan said.
Earlier Tuesday, Lucio’s attorneys announced a fifth juror has questioned the conviction. An alternate juror has also expressed doubts.
“I believe Ms. Lucio deserves a new trial and for a new jury to hear this evidence. Knowing what I know now, I don’t think she should be executed,” Melissa Quintanilla, the jury forewoman, said in an affidavit.
Saenz said his office had contacted the seven other jurors who sentenced Lucio and six of them had not changed their minds while the seventh had died.
After the committee meeting, Sonya Alvarez, one of Lucio’s sisters, said her family was encouraged after hearing Saenz say he would stop the execution if the courts didn’t act.
“We’re just hopeful ... that he’s going to do the right thing and allow this new evidence to be presented,” Alvarez said.
Lucio, 52, would be the first Latina executed by Texas and the first woman since 2014. Only 17 women have been executed in the U.S. since the Supreme Court lifted its ban on the death penalty in 1976, most recently in January 2021.

The Charlotte softball team lost their weekend Conference USA (C-USA) against Southern Mississippi from Friday, April 8 to Sunday, April 10 at Sue M. Daughtridge Stadium. The 49ers are now 24-16 and 5-10 in C-USA play.
Game 1:
The Golden Eagles got off to a hot start scoring five runs in the first inning, and Tata Davis got the scoring going after she hit a three-run home run. Lindsey Walljasper struggled in the first and was taken out after Maria Smith hit a two-run home run. Amelia Wiercioch came in to close out the inning, and she was successful in forcing two ground-outs and one strikeout.
After that, it got quiet for both teams, with no runs scored in the second, third and fourth innings. Morgan Leinstock was solid on the mound for the Golden Eagles, allowing three hits through four innings.
Charlotte came to life in the fifth inning as Mekayla Frazier scored the first run for the 49ers off a Bailey Vannoy single. Then, Ella Chancey hit her eighth home run of the season, scoring two runs. The 49ers were down 5-3 after the fifth.
Charlotte narrowed the gap even further in the sixth inning as Makalah Mitchell scored off a Vannoy RBI single. The 49ers hoped to tie the game in the seventh inning but came up short after Anna Devereaux struck out, giving the Golden Eagles the 5-4 victory.
Game 2:
The Golden Eagles once again started the scoring in the first inning as Destini Brown scored on a wild pitch. However, the 49ers would answer back in the third when Lexi Wagner hit her first home run of the season to tie the game at one apiece.
Charlotte's Madelyn Wright was outstanding on the mound for the 49ers. She pitched five innings allowing only two hits and one run while recording seven strikeouts.
The 49ers took hold of the game in the fourth inning, scoring eight runs. The scoring came from RBIs by Wright, Wagner, Chancey and Stacy Payton.
Wright tripled to start the scoring in the fourth. A single from Wagner and a double from Payton increased the lead to seven. To finish it off, Chancey hit a two-run home run. The 49ers won the game 9-1 to even up the series.
Game 3:
Both teams seeking to win the weekend series played an exciting game on Sunday. Southern Miss got things going in the second inning. Scout Jennings scored the first run off a Paige Kilgore sacrifice fly. The Golden Eagles extended their lead from a Natalie Taylor single that brought home Jana Lee.
Southern Miss continued where they left off in the third. A three-run home run by Lee extended their lead to 5-0.
The 49ers answered in the bottom of the third with a Chancey home run to make it a 5-1 ballgame. Charlotte looked to cut the lead even more in the fifth as a Vannoy homerun narrowed the gap to three.
With the bases loaded, Cori Henderson made it to first on a fielder's choice scoring Grace Johnson. Then, a Kourtney Gremillion RBI aided by an error at second base scored Chancey. The 49ers were down one after five. However, the 49ers could not complete the comeback and lost 5-4, dropping the series.
Record Breakers:
After Sunday's game, both Chancey and Vannoy broke Charlotte's homerun records. With ten home runs, Chancey broke the single-season freshman home run record.
Vannoy added another record to her illustrious career, breaking the single-season home run record with 16. Vannoy set the all-time home runs record earlier in the season in a game against UTSA on Sunday, March 20.
Next Up:
Charlotte will be back in action in a three-game C-USA series against Middle Tennessee from Thursday, April 14, through Saturday, April 16. The 49ers will travel to Murfreesboro, Tenn., to take on the Blue Raiders at the Blue Raider Softball Stadium.

Multiple People Shot at Brooklyn Subway; Undetonated Devices found
Multiple people have been shot in a Brooklyn subway station and several undetonated devices were also found at the location, according to fire officials and law enforcement sources. They stress the investigation is preliminary.
The extent of the victims’ injuries wasn’t clear.
The Fire Department of New York (FDNY) says it responded to a call for smoke at the 36th Street and Fourth Avenue station, which serves the D, N and R lines in Sunset Park around 8:30 a.m. and found multiple gunshot victims. No details were immediately available on the devices.
Information on a possible suspect also wasn’t immediately known.
Several law enforcement sources say a man possibly dressed in clothing that resembles those worn by MTA workers threw some sort of device and opened fire.
Some of the wounded jumped on another train to flee to the next station, the sources said. By Jonathan Dienst & Jennifer Millman of NBC New York.

Tips for picking the best carpet cleaner
If you love the plush, cozy feeling carpets bring to your home but hate how dirty they get over time, it only makes sense to buy a carpet cleaner. It will soon pay for itself compared to hiring someone to do the job, and you have it ready to use whenever you need.
Some cleaners are perfect for deep cleans, whereas others are better for spot cleaning and cleaning smaller areas. Learn how to pick the best carpet cleaner for you so yours will give you everything you need.
Questions to ask yourself before buying a carpet cleaner
How dirty do your carpets get?
You’ll need more impressive cleaning power if you have kids or dogs than if you have a small, adult-only, pet-free household. Some carpet cleaners are specifically designed for homes with pets and have the extra oomph needed to get rid of pet odors, muddy paw prints and other pet-related messes. Think about whether there are any high-traffic areas in your home in which your carpets tend to get extra dirty. If so, it’s worth paying more for a powerful cleaner that will do its job well.
How often will you use your carpet cleaner?
Are you likely to use a carpet cleaner once every couple of months, once a year or once in total before relegating it to the back of a closet somewhere? It makes sense to spend more if you’ll use your cleaner regularly, getting more bang for your buck. For occasional use, an inexpensive one will do the trick.
Do you want to clean upholstery?
Most carpet cleaners also work on upholstery, with the help of the right attachments. However, some are specifically geared toward upholstery and do a better job with it than they do with carpets and rugs.
What to look for in a carpet cleaner
Upright vs. canister
You’ll find two main types of carpet cleaners: upright and canister. Upright ones have the water tanks, motor and cleaning head all in one unit, with most looking similar to upright vacuum cleaners. Canister models have the motor and water tanks in the body of the unit with a separate cleaning head attached to the body by a hose. It’s generally quicker to clean with an upright model, so they’re suitable for cleaning large areas, while canister options are better for spot cleaning and upholstery.
Quick-dry mode
When you deep clean your carpet, it can take as long as 24 hours to fully dry, but this isn’t always practical or necessary. Quick-dry mode is a lighter cleaning mode that doesn’t get your carpet as wet, so it will fully dry within 1-2 hours. After an initial deep clean, you should only need to use the quick-dry mode to refresh your carpets if you clean them regularly.
Tools
Carpet cleaners should come with at least a couple of tools or attachments. The main cleaning head is what you’ll use for cleaning large areas, such as big rugs or wall-to-wall carpet, but you’ll also want a crevice tool for getting into tight corners and an upholstery brush for cleaning couches and other soft furnishings. Other tools are less essential, but it’s nice to have a good range just in case.
Dual tanks
Ideally, your carpet cleaner should have two water tanks: one that holds clean water only and one that holds dirty water after it’s been sucked out of the carpet. Without dedicated tanks for each, you’ll be cleaning your carpet with grubby water and you’ll need to empty and refill the tank regularly to keep the water clean.
Tank capacity
Check the capacity of both the clean water tank and the dirty water tank. Larger capacities allow you to clean more of your home before needing to empty the dirty water and replenish the fresh water. Compact models may only hold 1.5-2 liters of water, while large models can hold as much as 3.5-4.5 liters. If you have a large home with fitted carpets, you’ll thank yourself for choosing a model with a decent tank capacity.
Cleaning solutions
Check what kind of cleaning solution is required before buying. Some work with any cleaning solution designed for use with carpet cleaning machines, while others only work with the manufacturer’s proprietary solution, which can be limiting.

U.S. Marines have moved into the Iraqi city of Kut, which fell with little resistance. NPR's Steve Inskeep spent an afternoon at a checkpoint just outside of Kut, where Marines stood guard trying to prevent Iraqi fighters from fleeing the city. The experience at the checkpoint hints at the challenges U.S. forces face now that central authority has collapsed.

Apple Stumbles On a Very Annoying Obstacle
Apple (AAPL) - Get Apple Inc. Report has run into hurdles and delayed the launch of its blood pressure monitor for its smartwatch, according to sources.
People familar with the matter told Bloomberg that the tech has been delayed to 2024 at the earliest.
Employees are still working on an update to the sensor and software that would tell a person if they have high blood pressure, according to the sources.
The testing phase has showed problems with the accuracy being produced.
Apple has been working on the blood pressure monitor for the past four years, but the additional feature may not be ready for the market until 2025, the sources said.
Apple didn't respond immediately to a request for comment.
The company has started trials of the tech on its employees. While their strategy does not tell people their systolic and diastolic readings, the figures that are used to determine a blood pressure, it can give a warning signal. Users could then test their blood pressure on a standard blood pressure monitor or discuss whether they have hypertension with a doctor.
TheStreet Recommends
Why Blood Pressure Features Are Difficult
Apple's competitors have launched their own blood pressure monitors, but the technology is still in its early stages and has its setbacks.
Samsung Electronics (SSNLF) offers the capability on its watches, but they need to be calibrated each month with a traditional monitor.
Fitbit, which is owned by Alphabet (GOOGL) - Get Alphabet Inc. Class A Report, said it started a public study in 2021 to test their version.
Apple is researching other watch upgrades for women's health, fitness, sleep and medication management.
The company launched the Apple Watch in 2015 and sales in the iPhone maker's wearables, home and accessories division rose by 25% to $38.4 billion in 2021 and beat sales of the Mac or iPad.
One concern that customers have faced is the amount of power the watch currently uses. Apple plans to launch its low power mode for watchOS 9. This would allow the smartwatch to operate a few features and apps without depleting the battery. Right now the low power mode, called Power Reserve, only is able to display the time.
Customers can expect to see three new Apple Watches for sale in 2022. The company is offering its standard Series 8 model, a low-end SE version and an upscale model with a better casing that is geared for athletes participating in more extreme sports and weather.

TOKYO (AP) — As millions of Ukrainians fled their country, a longtime Tokyo resident did the opposite. Sasha Kaverina left her life in Japan and rushed to Ukraine to rescue her parents after a Russian missile hit their apartment building.
Kaverina's main goal in returning was to get her parents out of their hometown of Kharkiv, the second-largest city in battered eastern Ukraine, to a safer place in western Ukraine. But Kaverina, who had organized fund-raising and antiwar rallies in Japan for her homeland, also delivered medicine, first-aid kits and other relief goods.
Like many Ukrainian expats around the world, the war in her homeland has upended her life. Despite reports of horrendous Russian attacks, she said she is not afraid for herself, but for her parents and relatives.
Because of her antiwar and pro-Ukraine activities in Japan, she fears that the Russians could persecute or kill those close to her if they return to Kharkiv, which is now under fierce attack and may fall under Russian control.
“A lot of Ukrainians are worried (that) if Russians occupy us, pro-Ukrainian people would be killed,” as they were in Bucha and other cities, she said in an online interview from Chernivtsi, a city in southwestern Ukraine near the border with Romania where she took her parents.
Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Since then, more than 4 million Ukrainians have fled the country and millions more have been displaced internally.
Kaverina's parents narrowly survived in early March when a Russian missile badly damaged their eighth-floor apartment in a 16-story building and forced them to evacuate to their relatives' home in the suburbs.
After nearly two days on planes and buses, Kaverina made it to Chernivtsi, where she reunited with her parents, who had driven across the country from Kharkiv to meet her.
She is renting an apartment in Chernivtsi for her parents while she does remote work for her job at an IT company in Japan, where she intends to return, and volunteers as an aid worker with the help of her parents.
Ukrainian officials have urged residents in eastern Ukraine to evacuate to the west. But even in Chernivtsi the family can hear air-raid warning sirens at night, though they haven't experienced actual bombings, she said.
Some people go to shelters every night, and the place may not be safe any more, Kaverina said.
Whenever a door bangs or they hear footsteps, her parents immediately jump, apparently because of trauma from the missile attack on their apartment.
Kaverina worries about more Russian atrocities.
“If Kharkiv is occupied, people who have been mentioned in the media or known for their pro-Ukrainian positions, they may be targeted. I have no problem … but I’m worried about my parents,” she said, requesting anonymity for her parents. "My parents will be targeted for being with me and for their pro-Ukrainian activities.”
Several times a day, her parents call their relatives, friends and colleagues in Kharkiv to make sure everyone is safe and alive. They worry whenever anyone is unreachable.
One of her father’s acquaintances was taken to “a filtering camp” where Russians forced residents to remove their shirts to look for any tattoos indicating a pro-Ukrainian stance, Kaverina said.
Her father can't leave the country because of local laws, she said, and she hasn't been able to persuade her mother to fly back to Tokyo with her. Her parents want to return as soon as possible to their hometown, where her father's 89-year-old mother has stayed behind because of old age.
“My parents ask me every day when they can go back to Kharkiv, and I say, ‘No, you cannot,’" she said. “They want to go back to get their photos, not TV, money or documents. ... It's so sad and maybe stupid, but for them it's their whole life."
Kaverina said their apartment in Kharkiv is uninhabitable, but her parents, like many others, still hope to rebuild. To her, their determination seems linked to Ukraine's strong resistance to the Russians.
Kaverina, who has been in Japan for five years, said she has seen a lack of tolerance for foreign residents and diversity in Japan. So she was surprised by Tokyo's quick pledge to accept displaced Ukrainians, even though Japan does not expect many will come. Rather than going to a faraway, unfamiliar Asian country, most Ukrainians are turning to Europe, hoping to return home at some point.
About 400 war-displaced Ukrainians have arrived in Japan, where a number of municipalities and companies are offering to provide housing, language lessons and jobs.
The biggest hurdle for many Ukrainians is to get plane tickets to Japan, she said, because they have lost their jobs, homes and money since the invasion.
Japan was quick to join the United States and other leading economies in imposing sanctions against Russia and providing support for Ukraine. Tokyo has also sent nonlethal defense equipment such as helmets and bulletproof vests to Ukraine as an exception to its arms equipment transfer ban to countries in conflict.
Japan can also contribute to disaster relief, including sending construction equipment, Kaverina said. Because many people died under rubble while awaiting rescue, Kaverina said that she plans to reach out to Komatsu or other Japanese construction machine makers for help.
“I had been just an ordinary long-time resident in Japan until a month ago, but what happened changed not only the lives of Ukrainians (in the country) but also the lives of Ukrainians abroad,” she said.

The CDC revises estimates of the number of SARS cases in the United States. The new number is much lower than previous counts, since the CDC no longer includes in the total those "suspected" of having the illness. NPR's Joanne Silberner reports.

Investigators from multiple states and agencies are digging into whether newly-identified I-65 Killer Harry Edward Greenwell – who claimed at least three known victims in the late 1980s – was also responsible for a series of highway murders in other parts of the country.
Authorities last week announced that Greenwell, who died in Iowa in 2013 at the age of 68, had been identified through DNA evidence as the killer of female motel employees along I-65 in the Midwest. They suspected there could be more victims.
So did detectives who had spent decades trying to catch serial killers in their own jurisdictions – but hadn’t been inolved the I-65 investigation.
They recognised the modus operandi. The victims resembled each other. And there was a composite sketch with eerily close details to those which had helped identify Greenwell, a travelling railroad worker who’d served prison time but lived a quiet farmers-market-frequenting life for decades before his death.
“We have to acknowledge that there are similarities … specifically, the lazy eye” Capt Raymond Floyd of Investigative Services at the St Charles, Missouri police department, tells The Independent.
The composite of Greenwell – drawn up with the assistance of a surviving victim – showed a tall man with greasy grey hair, a beard and a distinctive eye. A sketch of the I-70 suspect showed a white man with similar features and again – against all odds – a droopy left eye.
Greenwell’s last known murder was in 1990; the I-70 killings occurred over a 29-day period just two years later. Greenwell was older and taller than reports of the I-70 Killer, Capt Floyd says, but “you can’t disregard a potential suspect just based on a composite sketch or a witness testimony itself”.
The victimology, time frame and killing methods were too alike to dismiss, he adds; the murderer in both cases “executed those ladies … [in] a very similar fashion”.
By the time the later crimes were committed, however, Greenwell’s life had changed; he had married a different woman from whom he hid the vast majority of his sordid past – and that could account for a change in MO.
That woman, Greenwell’s widow Julie Jenkins, exclusively told The Independent last week that she’d had no inkling of his brutal crimes – but, from her knowledge of serial killers, believed there could be more victims out there.
Capt Floyd, for his part, had been doggedly pursuing cold-cases – particularly the I-70 serial killer – for some time. He hadn’t heard of the I-65 Killer or Greenwell until last week, when he “started getting texts from other investigators”, reaching out to the FBI along with Indiana and Kentucky authorities, who triumphantly had announced the break in the I-65 case.
The first woman known to be a victim of the I-65 killer was Vicki Heath, a 41-year-old mother of two who had recently gotten engaged before she was found dead beside the trash cans behind the Super 8 Motel in Elizabethtown, Kentucky on 21 February 1987. She had been assaulted and shot twice in the head with a 38-calibre pistol.
The killer’s second and third victims were both slain on the same day: 3 March 1989.
Mary “Peggy” Gill, 24, a night auditor at a Days Inn motel in Merrillville, Indiana, was found dead in the building’s parking lot by a passing motorist. Jeanne Gilbert, 34, a mother of two who also worked as a part-time auditor at the Remington Days Inn, was also fatally shot with the same .22-calibre gun. The attacker had robbed both premises, making off with $426 in total.
A fourth woman working the night shift at a Days Inn motel in Columbus, Indiana, was sexually assaulted and stabbed in 1990 but managed to escape the scene. That woman, named only as Jane Doe, gave police a composite sketch, describing a man with greasy grey hair, a lazy green eye and a beard.
It’s unclear how Greenwell could have gone undiscovered for the remainder of his life – or whether there are additional victims.
He had, however, travelled throughout the Midwest while working on railroad tracks, his widow told The Independent.
And that would perhaps explain some of the other unsolved highway killings within a few years of his verified murderous activity – piquing particular interest from Capt Floyd when he took on his new job in St Charles last year. He’d already been committed to finding the I-70 killer months before the recent announcement, even hosting a multi-state agency event in November where investigators of different highway cases could compare notes and agreed to share information as their probes continued.
With the blessing of the St Charles department, he said, he looked to re-examine cold cases, taking advantage of the “advancement of DNA”. Samples from several scenes across different states are currently at various labs around the country as investigators wait to see, with bated breath, if the highway killings could be related.
The announcement of the I-65 suspect came at a particularly poignant time – the same week as the 30th anniversary of the first known killing attributed to the I-70 Killer.
Shoe store manager Robin Fuldauer, 26, was fatally shot on 8 April 1992 at a Payless in Indianapolis; three days later, 23-year-old Patricia Smith and shop owner Patricia Magers, 32, were killed in a bridal store in Wichita, Kansas.
About two weeks later, Indiana man Michael McCown, 40, was shot and killed in his mother’s ceramics store in Terre Haute, Indiana; because he reportedly wore a ponytail and was shot from behind, he could have been mistaken for a woman – in keeping with the patterns of both the I-65 and I-70 killers.
Less than a week later, Nancy Kitzmiller, 24, was killed while working at another shoe store in St Charles, where Capt Floyd now heads the police investigative services. Sarah Blessing, a 37-year-old who worked at a gift shop three and a half hours away near the Kansas border, was found dead on 7 May 1992.
One year later, two women were killed at separate places of work near I-35 in Texas, prompting detectives then, and now, to review whether the crimes were linked. Another woman was attacked but lived.
“We have been in touch with authorities in Texas, and we’re comparing notes and some investigative leads that we’ve had … to me, the MO is very similar, and it’s my understanding that the surviving victim in the Texas case did think the composite sketch” of the I-70 killer looked like her attacker, Capt Floyd tells The Independent.
Most investigators are thinking about the families of the victims throughout everything they do, Capt Floyd says, adding that they want to achieve “justice for Nancy and the other victims in this case.
“I think closure … [is] not the right word. They may have a conclusion, and I know they seek to have the answers – but that’s our motivation.”
He also hopes to bring solace to his fellow investigators who’ve obsessed about the unknown killer for decades, particularly those who worked from his own department, he tells The Independent.
“St Charles … has invested 30 years in this case,” he says. “This case has never sat on a shelf. It’s not just important to me; it’s probably more important to” the detectives working the case from the beginning.
The identification of the I-65 Killer, who’d been arrested for burglary and made at least two prison attempts before settling into a quiet farmers-market life in Iowa, was made via familial DNA. It was a triumph of science technology and also gave hope to other highway cold case detectives, particularly within a day’s driving distance of his crimes.
“Any time you see these cases being solved that are 30, 40 years old, it definitely motivates you to try harder and to work harder,” Capt Floyd tells The Independent.
He adds: “It is 100 per cent scary, because murder is fundamentally wrong, so there’s no real good reason to do murder … Not that you can understand it, [but] you can see where someone in a domestic situation might wind up the victim of a murder [or a] drug dealer, something like that …
“Unfortunately, what we have on this [I-70] case, same with the I-65 case, is you have people that are really, really good people – that weren’t in those dangerous lifestyles – that just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time when the wrong individual came in.”
As Capt Floyd and authorities across multiple states try to connect the dots and bring solace to families, they’re also waiting patiently for the DNA results.
“it’s hit and miss,” he tells The Independent. “We’re optimistic about it; we do think we have a chance of developing a suspect out of this – or we wouldn’t be doing this.”

When he arrived at Christ the Savior Cathedral to pay his respects to the ultra-nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who had died of COVID-19, Russian President Vladimir Putin carried a clutch of red roses.
The man beside him was carrying a briefcase.
That briefcase appeared to be Russia’s version of the “football” that is carried by a military aide to U.S. presidents and contains the codes for launching strategic nuclear weapons.
French King Louis XIV had stamped upon his cannon the inscription, “Ultima Ratio Regum” — The Last Argument of Kings.
In our era, nuclear weapons are the ultima ratio of nation-states. And what Putin was saying with his briefcase-carrying aide beside him was that, rather than accept defeat and humiliation in the Ukraine war, he may resort to the use of tactical atomic weapons.
And Putin is not the only one reminding us of the utility of having nuclear weapons and the folly of giving them up.
In 1991, when the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 nations, a newly independent Ukraine controlled its own large arsenal of nuclear weapons.
At the behest of the United States and in return for U.S. security guarantees, Kyiv gave them up and sent them all back to Russia.
Ukraine is living today with the consequences of that decision.
It is a victim of aggression by Russia, while the U.S. is inhibited in what it will do to assist Kyiv by an awareness that Russia has hundreds of tactical nuclear weapons, which Putin has signaled that, in the event of a true “existential” crisis, he may use.
Ukraine is in its present crisis because Moscow has the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, while Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in the 1990s.
The world is surely taking note of this fact.
South Korea relies on U.S. nuclear weapons to deter a nuclear-armed North Korea. Seoul also relies on the U.S. to retaliate against the North for any first use of nukes against the South.
And the issue is not an academic one.
Last week, Pyongyang warned that in the event of a clash with the South, its nuclear weapons would be used “at the outset of war.”
Seoul must today be observing Ukraine with some intensity. For there the U.S. is carefully calibrating whether the weapons they send to help Ukraine fight for its national existence violate a Moscow red line.
Could South Korea expect similar U.S. caution as to what weapons it would use in defending the country from a nuclear-armed North?
According to one U.S. poll, 71% of all South Koreans support the acquisition of their own arsenal of nuclear weapons.
China, too, has been observing how the United States has been inhibited by Russia’s nuclear arsenal in deciding which weapons to send, and which not to send, to Ukraine.
In Beijing, this question is surely being debated:
If the Americans, who have no treaty commitment to defend Ukraine, are inhibited by the threat of war with a nuclear-armed Russia into limiting their military aid to Ukraine, will the Americans be similarly intimidated by a nuclear-armed China — from going to war for Taiwan?
China may soon be testing U.S. resolve in the Taiwan Strait. For, like Ukraine, Taiwan has no treaty alliance obligating the United States to defend it.
In East Asia, the nations most hostile to us and our allies — Russia, China, North Korea — all have nuclear weapons. But none of our friends and allies in East Asia — Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia — have nuclear weapons. All rely on us for nuclear deterrence.
Observing the restrictions we have put on military aid to Ukraine, what must they be thinking now?
Consider the Middle East.
Iran is currently renegotiating a return to the nuclear arms deal of 2015. Under that agreement, Iran was granted relief from sanctions and a return to the world economy. In return, Tehran pledged not to test or acquire nuclear weapons and to open its nuclear facilities to inspection to show it was complying with the treaty.
Why has Iran, which has the ability to enrich uranium to weapons-grade but has never done so, forgone the testing and the building of nuclear weapons?
Iran appears to have concluded that its security would be more imperiled than enhanced if it sought to test a nuclear device preparatory to building a bomb.
A nuclear weapons test, if successful, would bring to Iran the possibility of war with a nuclear-armed Israel, as well as the potential destruction of all of its nuclear sites by the United States.
If Iran built a bomb, the Turks and Saudis might soon follow, and the ayatollah’s Iran would be less secure than it is today. Iran’s Persians, after all, are a minority in an Arab-dominated Middle East, and Iran’s Shia are but a fraction of the numbers of the Sunni Arab population.
What the Ukraine war has demonstrated is the vulnerability of not having nukes.
Taiwan and South Korea, especially, should take note.

What should I add to a protein shake to make it taste better?
Protein shakes help you meet your protein requirements and gain muscle, but they can taste awful. If you’re fed up with dutifully forcing them down, you might be wondering how to make protein shakes taste better.
There are several ways to achieve this, whether you change your mixing technique or add extra ingredients to improve the flavor.
Mix your protein shake the right way
If it isn’t so much the flavor of your protein shake that you find offensive, but a lumpy or grainy texture, changing the way you mix it can help. If you’re making it at home or somewhere with access to a kitchen, you’ll get a far better texture if you blend it with a stick blender or bullet blender than you will mixing it in a shaker bottle. That said, not all shaker bottles give you equally poor results. The BlenderBottle has a patented whisk that makes lumpy shakes a thing of the past.
If you’re looking for a thicker texture, consider blending your protein powder with some ice for a frappe-like drink. This is especially great on hot days.
What makes protein shakes taste better
Another secret to making your shake taste better is as simple as throwing a few extra ingredients into the blender. Think about the flavor of your protein powder, as some additives work better with certain flavors than others. Once you’ve found a few combinations you like, your days of lackluster protein shakes will be behind you.
Cocoa powder
Cocoa powder is the ultimate addition for chocolate lovers. It can cover a multitude of sins without adding many extra calories, as a little goes a long way. It blends nicely with vanilla protein powder or coffee protein powder to make a mocha flavor. You can even add a little to chocolate protein powders that aren’t chocolatey enough.
If mixing it with an unsweetened protein powder, add some sweetener or you’ll be left with a muddy, bitter shake.
Sweeteners
Some shakes can be improved with just a little extra sweetness. While this can come from fruit or juice, sometimes it makes sense to simply add some sweetener.
You have a wide range of options when it comes to sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners add sweetness without sugar or calories, but they can have bitter notes or taste overly sweet, and some people prefer to avoid them altogether. Stevia is a natural sweetener that contains no calories and is a good alternative to artificial sweeteners, but some people don’t like the flavor.
Then you have sugar-based sweeteners. These add calories and can cause blood-sugar spikes, so they aren’t everyone’s first choice. Agave nectar is a great alternative to granulated sugar and honey, as it has a significantly lower glycemic index, meaning it’s less likely to cause blood-sugar spikes.
Nut butters
Not only can nut butters improve the flavor of your shake, but they also add extra protein and other nutrients. They’re relatively high in fat and calories, ideal for people looking to bulk up or for drinking after heavy exercise sessions. Plus, they thicken shakes, so if you find your protein powder too thin, nut butter is a great option.
You can choose classic peanut butter (which technically isn’t even a nut butter) or other nut butters, such as almond, cashew or macadamia butter. It’s a great idea to switch every now and then to change up your nutrient intake. Nut butters taste great with chocolate, vanilla or even plain protein powders.
Juice
Using juice instead of water (or half juice and half water) when you mix your protein powder adds sweetness from a natural source. It tastes good with fruity protein powders, but most juices don’t work well with chocolate powders and vanilla can be hit or miss. That said, orange juice and chocolate protein powder makes a chocolate-orange flavor some people love.
Fruit
Blend fresh or frozen fruit with your protein powder and either juice or water to make a protein smoothie. This thickens your shake, as well as flavoring it and adds all kinds of nutrients and a great dose of sweetness from the fruit. Banana makes a pleasant addition to chocolate- or peanut-butter-flavored protein drinks, while berries can liven up a strawberry-flavored powder. If you want to use a blend of fruits, it works best with unflavored or fruity protein powders.
Consider changing your protein powder
If you’ve only tried one or two varieties, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t like the taste of protein powder — you might just not like the ones you’ve tried. Some people don’t like the taste of whey protein powders, so it’s worth trying a vegan protein powder if you haven’t already. Orgain Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder has a creamy chocolate fudge flavor that melds well with chocolate coconut and peppermint hot cocoa and is ideal for chocolate lovers.
What you need to buy to make protein shakes taste better
Barney Bare Smooth Almond Butter
This nutritious organic almond butter contains nothing but almonds and oil. It’s free from added salt and sugar and is made from skinned almonds, so it’s an ideal additive for smooth, healthy protein shakes.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and rich in antioxidants, this cacao powder makes a perfect addition to protein shakes for a chocolatey kick.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Agave in the Raw Organic Agave Sweetener
Thanks to its low glycemic index, agave nectar is great for adding to protein shakes that need some extra sweetness. This brand is non-GMO and has USDA organic certification.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
If you want to add some natural sweetness and fruity flavor to your shakes, look no further. It’s made from pure concentrated orange juice with no added sugar.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — In Rio de Janeiro, two rescue dogs have turned local mascots and budding online influencers after joining their rescuers’ ranks, wooing their growing audience, one bark at a time.
Corporal Oliveira, a dog with short brown hair thought to be around four years old, turned up one morning in 2019 at a police station on Rio’s Governador Island, injured and weak.
“I gave him food, water. It took a while for him to get used to me,” said Cpl. Cristiano Oliveira, the officer who took the dog under his wing and later gave him his name. But within a few days, Corporal Oliveira – the furry animal – started following his new master around the precinct. Oliveira has since joined another precinct, but the dog never left.
Corporal Oliveira has his own Instagram profilewith more than 45,000 fervent followers, always hungry for more photos and videos of their mascot in his trademark police uniform, standing on top of police armoured vehicles, motorcycles or sticking his little head out of a regular patrol car’s window. He even has a miniature toy firearm attached to his uniform.
A dozen miles from there, in the leafy and leftist neighborhood of Laranjeiras, another rescue dog has turned mascot.
Caramello – a name inspired by the colour of his fur – has been residing at the fire brigade that found him injured across the iconic Sugarloaf mountain ever since he was rescued nearly a year ago. During that time, the 11-year-old dog has amassed some 27,000 followers.
Older, and slightly less adventurous then Corporal Oliveira, Caramello’s online efforts have focused on drawing attention to a wide range of good causes and campaigns.
He has used his newly found clout to promote awareness around cancer, or to encourage donations for victims of natural disasters such as the recent deadly landslides in Petropolis. He’s also helped other rescue dogs or cats find new homes.
“Caremello is a real digital influencer,” said Maj. Fabio Contreiras, from the Catete Fire Brigade, one of Rio de Janeiro’s oldest.
But with fame, comes burden. And the dogs’ fans are demanding.
“Sometimes I have too much work. I go a week without posting and people complain: ‘Where is (Corporal) Oliveira? Has he gone missing?’,” jokes Oliveira, the police officer in charge of the dog’s social media. He can get more than 200 messages in one day. Sometimes, he just has to tell them: “He’s on holiday!”

Novak Djokovic’s tennis season like no other resumed on home clay in Monte Carlo on Tuesday. The setbacks keep coming.
Deported from Australia in January because he was unvaccinated against COVID-19 and thus did not fulfil entry requirements, beaten early in Dubai in February and unable to enter the United States for tournaments in March, Djokovic returned to the court at the Monte Carlo Masters after a seven-week break from competition. Off target from the start, he scrapped valiantly before fading to lose his opening match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1.
Davidovich, a 22-year-old Spaniard, broke Djokovic’s serve nine times, the most Djokovic has been broken on tour in any best-of-three-set match.
“I collapsed,” Djokovic told reporters in Monaco. “I was hanging on the ropes the entire match. I was really chasing the result constantly.”
It was of course an upset. Djokovic, despite his latest hiatus, is still ranked No.1 on the men’s tour. He has won 20 major singles titles, nearly completed the Grand Slam last season and has been the second-best men’s player on clay for the past decade behind Rafael Nadal.
Davidovich, despite reaching the quarter-finals of last year’s French Open, is ranked No.46 and had lost in the opening round of his last two tournaments. Until he beat Djokovic on Tuesday, he had beaten only one top-10 player.
But in truth, his victory over Djokovic was only a lowercase surprise. Djokovic, who remains unvaccinated against COVID-19, is rusty for obvious reasons and soon turns 35. Men’s tennis is bristling with depth and young stars on the rise, such as Davidovich’s 18-year-old compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, who recently won the Miami Open.
Although there was buzz around a possible Djokovic-Alcaraz quarter-final match, Djokovic got more than he could handle from the game’s second-most-promising next-generation Spaniard.
“I knew Nole doesn’t have that confidence, because he didn’t play a lot,” Davidovich said, using Djokovic’s nickname. “I had to focus on every point because I had my chances from the beginning, and I just did it.”
Davidovich looks like a Viking prepared to make mayhem with his head closely shaven on the sides and his fair hair pulled back into a knot. His father, Eduard Mark Davidovich, a former boxer, is originally from Sweden, and his mother, Tatiana Fokina, is from Russia. But he was born in Malaga, Spain, and raised, as his accent makes clear, in the Andalusia region of southern Spain. He started playing tennis at age 2 – even younger than Djokovic did – and has become one of the flashiest, fastest men in the game under the tutelage of his longtime coach, Jorge Aguirre.
He has a tattoo of a breaking wave on his arm, and he plays tennis with aggression and invention, deploying the drop shot and the underhand serve. He often plays like a goalkeeper: flinging himself into the air to pursue a wide shot or a serve down the T. Against Djokovic, he was soon covered in red clay, which remains his best surface despite winning the Wimbledon boys title on grass in 2017.
The mental game has been the main stumbling block for Davidovich, and he has collaborated with a performance psychologist for several years in the quest to control his temper and maintain his concentration and belief.
The process is not complete yet. Twice up a break in the second set, Davidovich lost his way, surrendering the momentum to Djokovic. Although Djokovic failed to serve out the second set at 5-4 – making four unforced errors – he managed to win the tie-breaker with a forehand passing shot.
Eyes wide, Djokovic put a finger to his ear and nodded his head confidently as he stared at the crowd before howling with relief. It was a familiar scene for those who have followed the resilient Serbian star, but there would be no comeback this time, in part because he has played so little lately and because the second set had required 1 hour and 23 minutes of effort.
After a 10-minute break, Djokovic returned to the clay standing tall, but he was soon emitting negative energy, talking to himself as he again lost his serve despite jumping out to a 40-15 lead. This time, Davidovich did not flinch, finishing off a champion who had beaten him soundly in their two previous matches and who has long been his tennis role model (they practised together in Spain during the pandemic).
But Djokovic’s game and attitude were close to unrecognisable down the stretch as he raced through his service games and missed shot after shot. He finished with 51 unforced errors at the club where, as a Monaco resident, he trains regularly.
“I didn’t like the way I felt physically in the third,” Djokovic said. “I just ran out of gas completely. Just couldn’t really stay in the rally with him. I mean, if you can’t stay in the rally, not feeling your legs on the clay, it’s mission impossible.”
The concern for him is why he was so spent. Djokovic has long been supremely fit, but he has also had the coronavirus at least twice, although he has given no indication that this has affected his endurance.
“I’m going to look with my team into the reasons,” he said of his third-set fade.
It is a smaller team now. He is no longer working with Marian Vajda, his longtime friend and coach, which leaves Goran Ivanisevic, the 2001 Wimbledon champion, as his primary coach. Ivanisevic was with Djokovic in January in Australia, where he arrived to defend his Australian Open title only to have his visa revoked because of his vaccination status. He spent time in detention as his appeal was adjudicated and was deported on the eve of the Australian Open. After also missing US tournaments in Indian Wells, California, and Miami, he has played just four singles matches in 2022.
His record is an unsettling 2-2, but it bears remembering that Djokovic is one of sport’s supreme fighters and that he has lost early in Monte Carlo before, only to find his footing and thrive at the French Open, his primary goal in May.
Next stop in his strangest season: more home clay next week at a tournament in Belgrade, the Serbian capital where he was born.

WFO RENO Warnings, Watches and Advisories for Wednesday, April 13, 2022
_____
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service RENO NV
633 PM PDT Tue Apr 12 2022
...COLD TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WITH MORE SNOW, RAIN AND WIND THIS
WEEK AND INTO EASTER WEEKEND...
* COLD AGAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING: Expect another cold night with low
temperatures in the teens across the Sierra, and widespread 20s
elsewhere across western Nevada. Ensure irrigation pipes are
protected, cold sensitive plants are brought inside, and outdoor
pets have a warm shelter tonight.
* MID WEEK STORM: The next storm will begin to impact the Sierra
Wednesday night through Thursday. Travel impacts are likely for
the Thursday morning commute, especially in the Sierra and
northeast California. Be sure to check with CALTRANS before
traversing the Sierra passes. There may be a few light showers
that make it across the Sierra, but overall western Nevada and
the eastern Sierra will be dealing with another bout of winds.
The probability of damaging winds is less than 20%, but wind
gusts will be strong enough along and north of I-80 to disrupt
high-profile vehicle travel and outdoor recreation.
* EASTER WEEKEND: We will be keeping an eye on another storm for
Saturday. This one brings a better chance for rain and snow
spreading farther into western Nevada, although snow levels may
be higher. Another round of stronger winds is also probable with
this storm. Even with the storm potential for Saturday,
simulations are favoring a dry Easter Sunday with temperatures
warming to near mid-April averages.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lars Eller made the best of his move back to center, scoring the go-ahead goal and assisting on another to help the Washington Capitals beat the Boston Bruins 4-2 Sunday and extend their winning streak to three. Eller was only playing center — his natural position — because Nicklas Backstrom was scratched for what the team called “body maintenance.” He'd played the past two on left wing after the emergence of Connor McMichael in the middle.

DENVER (CBS4) – The rate of inflation in the United States jumped to a 40-year high in March, up to 8.5%. It’s the fastest inflation rate since 1981.
With higher prices on just about everything everywhere, many families in Colorado are finding it hard to make ends meet. Even resources for those in need are feeling the pinch – like Food Bank of the Rockies. The non-profit coordinates with more than 800 food pantries across Colorado and Wyoming, distributing 1.5 million meals every week on average.
“It’s impacted us more than we could’ve imagined,” said Erin Pulling, CEO of Food Bank of the Rockies, “because we purchase food by the truckload.”
Inside the organization’s distribution center in Denver, volunteers unload those trucks and stock the shelves with pallets of various foods. From canned goods to fresh produce, all to eventually be enjoyed by people in need of food assistance.
“We’re focusing on fresh foods more than ever before,” Pulling told CBS4’s Kelly Werthmann. “And culturally responsive foods and high-quality foods for those in need.”
Yet, like everyone, that is getting more and more expensive to do.
“Almost every food item we purchase has gone up dramatically,” Pulling said. “Items we purchase a lot of are things like ground beef which has gone up 27% in the last year, spaghetti is up 15%, canned fruit is up 30%.”
Add in surging gas prices to transport the food and Pulling said the non-profit’s monthly costs have tripled since 2019, before the pandemic.
“We are now spending almost $1 million every single month on food and freight,” she said.
That 7-figure monthly cost is also spurred by a decrease in USDA food available, she added, along with an increase in need.
“So many people over the last two, two and a half years have needed help with food assistance for the first time in their lives,” Pulling said. “We’ve seen a slight drop-off in that, but just slight. We are still serving more people than we were pre-COVID.”
Even with a rise in costs and people trying to make ends meet, Pulling said it won’t stop Food Bank of the Rockies from providing healthy and nutritious products.
“We’re working with local agricultural partners to purchase fresh produce as well as increase the amount of food that we get donated,” she explained. “What that means is we’re depending on the generosity of community truly more than ever.”

Heroic British backpacker died after being stabbed in the brain as he tried in vain to protect a woman being attacked by ‘psychotic’ French knifeman at Queensland hostel, inquest hears
- Thomas Jackson, 30, suffered multiple stab wounds at the hostel in August 2016
- He was stabbed while rushing to the aid of Mia Ayliff-Chung, 20, who also died
- French backpacker Smail Ayad was 'psychotic' when he carried out the attack
- An inquest has taken place into Mr Jackson's death more than five years on
- It heard he showed 'great courage and valour in seeking to protect' fellow Brit
An heroic British backpacker died after being stabbed in the brain as he tried in vain to protect a woman from being attacked by a 'psychotic' French knifeman at an Australian hostel, an inquest has heard.
Thomas Jackson, 30, came to the aid of Mia Ayliff-Chung, 20, after she had been stabbed several times at a hostel in Home Hill, Queensland, on August 23, 2016.
Schizophrenic French backpacker Smail Ayad was 'psychotic and under the influence of cannabis' when he carried out the fatal attack.
Miss Ayliff-Chung, from Derbyshire, was pronounced dead at the scene while Mr Jackson, from Congleton, died from his severe injuries in Townsville Hospital six days later.
More than five years on from the horrific double killing, an inquest is taking place into Mr Jackson's death at Warrington Coroners Court.
The court heard today he suffered at least 12 separate injuries in the attack, but the medical cause of death was a stab wound to the brain.

The scene at the hostel in Home Hill, south of Townsville, where Ms Ayliffe-Chung and Mr Jackson lost their lives in August 2016
Assistant coroner Peter Sigee said it was 'appropriate' that the findings of the Queensland coroner's report, dated June 30, 2020, should be the 'only evidence to receive and consider'.
Summing up the evidence in the report, Mr Sigee added: 'The various individuals involved in this incident were staying in the hostel whilst travelling on a working visa and undertaking paid work at a local farm.
'Mr Smail Ayad carried out a frenzied knife attack upon Miss Mia Ayliff-Chung, inflicting severe injuries upon her.
'Miss Ayliff-Chung was able to escape and to lock herself into a bathroom. Mr Ayad then jumped from a first floor balcony as if trying to fly, landing on his back.
'Mr Jackson went to Mr Ayad's aid, not knowing what had occurred within the hostel.'
The inquest heard another backpacker, Daniel Richards, found Miss Ayliff-Chung in the bathroom and shouted that she had been stabbed, at which point Mr Jackson ran inside.
The coroner continued: 'Mr Ayad went back into the hostel, still carrying a knife, shouting and gesturing.
'Despite knowing that Mr Ayad had inflicted serious knife injuries to Miss Ayliff-Chung and that Mr Ayad remained within the hostel, armed and dangerous, Mr Jackson made no attempt to escape to a place of safety but remained with Miss Ayliff-Chung in an effort to care for her and prevent further harm to her.'
Tom Jackson was posthumously awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal on what would have been his 33rd birthday for his heroic actions
Ms Ayliffe-Chung (pictured) had been travelling the world for nearly a year before she arrived Australia in 2016
Daniel Richards (pictured) comforted Ms Ayliffe-Chung in her final moments, despite a risk to his own safety. He also received a Queen's Gallantry Medal
Ayad forced his way into the bathroom, where Mr Jackson made attempts to calm him, but he was subsequently attacked and suffered multiple stab wounds.
The inquest heard that an Australian mental health court later determined Ayad was 'not of sound mind' at the time of the attack. Criminal proceedings were discontinued.
Recording a narrative conclusion, Mr Sigee said: 'Mr Jackson died of knife injuries inflicted upon him by a person of unsound mind whilst Mr Jackson was acting with great courage and valour in seeking to protect and care for a severely injured person.'
Following the inquest today, Mr Jackson's parents Leslie and Sandra paid tribute to their son.
They told CheshireLive: 'We think about him all the time.'
Sandra added: 'I'll never get over it. You just learn to live with it.'
The parents said their son, who was an avid Liverpool fan, was an experienced traveller and has spent time in India, Malaysia and taught English in Cambodia for 18 months.
Leslie said: 'Tom fitted more in 30 years than a lot of people do in a lifetime.'
Mr Jackson was posthumously awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal on what would have been his 33rd birthday, as well as a similar accolade in Queensland, for his heroic efforts.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kyrie Irving had 34 points and 12 assists, Kevin Durant added 25 points and 11 assists, and the Brooklyn Nets took the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-108 on Tuesday night in the play-in opener.
The Nets raced to a 20-point lead after one quarter and turned the Cavaliers away time and time again to earn a matchup with No. 2 seed Boston in a series that begins Sunday.
Irving made his first 12 shots before a 3-pointer rimmed out in the fourth quarter. He finished 12 for 15.
A preseason NBA Finals favorite who sputtered through a turbulent season and were in 10th place entering the last week of the regular season, the Nets have run off five straight wins. With Durant and Irving, they are far more dangerous than the usual No. 7 seed.
And both are willing to give the ball to teammates who are capitalizing when they get it. Bruce Brown had 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, while Andre Drummond scored 16 points.
Darius Garland scored 34 points for the Cavaliers, who have another chance to earn the No. 8 seed. They will host the winner of the Atlanta-Charlotte game on Friday, with the winner moving on to face No. 1 seed Miami.
Brooklyn and Cleveland both went 44-38 but the Nets clinched the tiebreaker by beating the Cavs at Barclays Center last Friday to finish 3-1 against them. Cleveland was confident it could come back to Brooklyn and win, though it was clear quickly just how difficult that would be.
The Nets made nearly 71% of their shots in the first quarter — Irving and Durant combined to make all eight of theirs — and closed the period with a 15-3 spurt that made it 40-20. It was a bigger lead than Brooklyn had in any first quarter during the regular season.
The offense sputtered, as it usually does, when Durant went to the bench to start the second and Cleveland went on a 9-2 run to cut it to 13. The margin stayed right around there the remainder of the half, with the Cavs missing a number of open looks before Irving's jumper at the buzzer made it 57-43. That made him 9 for 9 at the break.
The Cavaliers, trying to extend a surprising season that saw them double their win total from a season ago, kept chipping away in the second half. But they would too often miss an open 3-pointer or give up an extra possession on an offensive rebound that the Nets would take advantage of.
Nic Claxton had 13 points and nine rebounds for Brooklyn.
TIP-INS
Cavaliers: Evan Mobley scored 19 points and Kevin Love had 14 points and 13 rebounds. ... The Cavaliers remained without All-Star center Jarrett Allen because of a broken finger.
Nets: Irving's 9-for-9 first half wasn't even his best for Brooklyn. He was 10 for 10 against Chicago on Jan. 31, 2020. ... Brooklyn went 1-3 against Boston during the regular season. The Nets beat the Celtics 4-1 in the first round last season. ... Goran Dragic returned after missing the end of the regular season in health and safety protocols. He had three points in 10 minutes.
SUBWAY SHOOTING
The Nets and the New York Liberty Foundation announced before a moment of silence that they were donating $50,000 to help those who were injured after at least 10 people were shot on a subway Tuesday. The shooting occurred at the subway stop closest to the Nets' training facility.
SIMMONS STATUS
Nash said Ben Simmons is moving better and doing more shooting, but there still was no timetable for when he could finally play for the Nets. Simmons, who sat on the bench wearing a matching green jacket and shorts, has battled back problems since not long after being acquired from Philadelphia in February.
“So definitely positive signs, improving and moving and all those things, but like I said he hasn’t been running full speed or playing against anybody,” Nash said. “So still a lot of markers to meet.”
CENTER OF ATTENTION
Allen seemed poised to return for the play-in game, but the Cavaliers’ big man isn’t quite ready.
Bickerstaff said the All-Star, who came to Cleveland from the Nets in a trade last season, did individual drills the past two days, when the team’s focus at practice had to be on the available players to get ready for Brooklyn.
“He’s doing well,” said coach J.B. Bickerstaff, who has been without Allen for more than a month. “He’s working out; he’s starting to do more with both hands. We’re just kind of in a wait-and-see.”

US inflation hits four-decade high, markets point higher
Updated 8:25AM
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. futures ticked higher as new data showed inflation reached a four-decade high, adding to investor unease about higher interest rates, Chinese efforts to contain coronavirus outbreaks and Russia's war on Ukraine.
London, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Seoul fell. Shanghai and Hong Kong advanced. Oil prices rose more than $3 per barrel.
Inflation soared over the past year at its fastest pace in more than 40 years, the Labor Department reported Tuesday, with costs for food, gasoline, housing and other necessities squeezing American consumers and wiping out the pay raises that many people have received.
Markets are uneasy about plans by the Federal Reserve and other central banks to try to cool inflation by rolling back ultra-low interest rates. Adding to their anxiety are Russia's attack on Ukraine and China's decision to shut down most businesses in Shanghai, its commercial capital, to fight coronavirus outbreaks.
"All eyes today are on the U.S. March CPI reading," which is expected to surge to 8.4% over a year ago, said ING analysts in a report. "A number in that vicinity should maintain aggressive Fed tightening expectations," they said.
In early trading, the FTSE 100 in London lost 0.6% to 7,573.6 and Frankfurt's DAX tumbled 0.8% to 14,082.1. The CAC 40 in Paris retreated 0.5% to 6,524.2.
On Wall Street, the future for the benchmark S&P 500 index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.74% and 0.36%, respectively.
On Monday, the S&P slid 1.7% and the Dow fell 1.2%. The Nasdaq sank 2.2%.
In Asia, the Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.5% to 3,213.33 after authorities announced they would ease anti-coronavirus controls that shut down most businesses in China's most populous city and disrupted manufacturing.
The Hang Seng in Hong Kong climbed 0.5% to 21,319.13 while the Nikkei 225 in Tokyo shed 1.8% to 26,334.98.
The Kospi in Seoul gave up 1% to 2,666.76 and Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 retreated 0.4% to 7,454.00.
India's Sensex declined 0.5% to 58,685.08. Jakarta advanced while New Zealand and other Southeast Asian markets declined.
Tuesday's economic data shows inflation is growing closer to the inflection point where Americans may begin to cut spending, which would likely mean a sharper slowdown in economic growth than expected.
Investors are anticipating a more aggressive shift from the Fed as it tries to rein in rising inflation. The central bank has already announced a quarter-percentage point raise of its key interest rate.
Fed officials indicated in minutes from last month's meeting they were considering raising the U.S. benchmark rate by double the normal amount at upcoming meetings. They also indicated they would shrink the Fed's bond holdings, which would push up long-term borrowing rates.
Oil prices have fallen back on expectations of weaker Chinese demand after most businesses in Shanghai were shut down and controls imposed on other industrial centers to contain coronavirus outbreaks. Prices spiked above $130 per barrel last month on anxiety about possible disruption in Russian supplies.
Automakers and other manufacturers in China are reducing production after authorities tightened restrictions to help stem coronavirus outbreaks in Shanghai and other cities.
Benchmark U.S. crude gained $3.70 to $98 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $3.97 on Monday to $94.29. Brent crude, the price basis for international oil trading, added $4.05 to $102.53 per barrel in London. It fell $4.30 the previous session to $98.48.
The dollar rose to 125.63 Japanese yen from Monday's 125.46 yen. The euro declined to $1.0870 from $1.0890.

Graham Nash recalls that the pairing of himself and David Crosby back in the early '70s, outside Crosby, Stills & Nash and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, was inevitable. "Me and Crosby realized really early on in these relationships that he and I had a special relationship the same way Stephen [Stills] and Neil [Young] had a special relationship," Nash, who first met Crosby in 1966 while Nash was touring the U.S. with the Hollies and Crosby was still in the Byrds, explains to UCR. "Theirs was built on a love of guitar playing and interplay. David and I knew we had a [vocal] blend. We had something interesting to present to people. We would go out with a couple of acoustic guitars and play for two and a half hours, and it was great.

St. Martin Parish couple, Humane Society offering reward to find pet killer
ST. MARTINVILLE, La. ( KLFY ) — The Humane Society of Louisiana (HSL) and a St. Martin Parish couple are teaming up to find out who’s been shooting cats and raccoons and leaving their bodies in the Catahoula lake, and there’s a $5,000 reward on the line.
HSL Director Jeff Dorson said Sonny and Christina Doucet of Catahoula have seen several of their cats killed over the last few years, with the most recent being March 11, when their pet was found floating in the lake in Catahoula. According to Dorson, someone had shot the cat in the head and attempted to sink it into the lake by tying a brick around it. The Doucets say they have also seen several raccoons in the lake under the same circumstances.
“The Doucets have reported the incidents to the [St. Martin Parish S heriff’s Office] , but there appears to be a lack of evidence to charge any person with the crime,” stated a press release from Dorson. “Back in 1995, two of Ms. Doucet’s cats died, she thinks after being poisoned with antifreeze. In 2014, one of Doucet’s cats also went missing, and she later found its head in a ditch in front of her residence.”
NOPD: 2 injured in shooting incident Saturday evening“For the past 27 years, this has been a recurring and very painful experience,” Christina Doucet said. “I have reported these incidents to the sheriff’s office, but there has never been a positive response or outcome. The deputies seem indifferent and seem to lack any type of motivation to solve these types of crimes. I feel that these complaints have never been thoroughly nor properly investigated. These are horrific crimes that are being ignored. I wish the sheriff’s department would educate the public on this subject and expend the resources necessary to solve these crimes. Lastly, I wish the deputies who respond to these calls would show some interest. They seem like they are just going through the very basic motions of taking a report and leaving the scene.”
“This is one of the most gruesome crime scenes I have ever seen in my 34 years as a humane investigator,” Dorson said. “Someone went way out of their way to cause this much suffering and pain to this group of animals. They did not deserve to be treated nor disposed of in such a hateful and disrespectful manner.”
To help identify the perpetrator, the HSL and the Doucet family have established a $5,000 Cat Cruelty Reward Fund that will be distributed if the information leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.

A 15-year-old Twitch streamer has gone viral after broadcasting a series of raves – complete with pyrotechnic effects and laser shows – from the comfort of his bedroom.

Epilepsy warning: the videos embedded in this article include strobe effects and flashing lights.
Going by the Twitch username Crossmauz, the 15-year-old streamer from Germany recently found fame after Twitter user ‘kittyzandpichu’ (via Dexerto) visited their channel after reportedly being killed by the streamer on Modern Warfare 2.
As you can see below, Crossmauz’s streams consist of the teen hosting intense raves in his bedroom – complete with laser shows, pyrotechnics, and incredibly loud hardstyle music.

Crossmauz’s Twitch channel includes recordings of his past livestreams, which all match the frantic energy of the video above.
Crossmauz hasn’t streamed in nearly two weeks, so it’s unclear if he’s aware that his content has gone viral. The video shared by ‘Kittyzandpichu’ has racked up over 7.5million views, while a video of Crossmauz’s last stream now has nearly 50,000 views.

In many of Crossmauz’s streams, he wears a tracker that shows viewers a live reading of his heart rate. In this particular video, his pulse rockets up to 170 during a particularly loud track (skip to around 02:31:00).
Despite the high intensity, most of Crossmauz’s recent streams have lasted between two and three hours – meaning the German streamer is putting on a length set for his online following.
On Twitter, Crossmauz’s newfound fans have shared kind words for the streamer – though lots of users have wondered how his parents manage to cope with the noise.

Ukraine’s secret services have captured a pro-Russia politician and close friend of Vladimir Putin weeks after he escaped house arrest.
President Volodymyr Zelensky published a photo of Viktor Medvedchuk in handcuffs on Tuesday.
Last year Ukrainian authorities opened a treason case against Medvedchuk, who says Mr Putin is godfather to his daughter. He denies wrongdoing.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Vladimir Putin vowed Tuesday that Russia’s bloody offensive in Ukraine would continue until its goals are fulfilled and insisted the campaign was going as planned, despite a major withdrawal in the face of stiff Ukrainian opposition and significant losses.
Russian troops, thwarted in their push toward Ukraine’s capital, are now focusing on the eastern Donbas region, where Ukraine said Tuesday it was investigating a claim that a poisonous substance had been dropped on its troops. It was not clear what the substance might be, but Western officials warned that any use of chemical weapons by Russia would be a serious escalation of the already devastating war.
Russia invaded on Feb. 24, with the goal, according to Western officials, of taking Kyiv, the capital, toppling the government and installing a Moscow-friendly regime. In the six weeks since, the ground advance stalled and Russian forces lost potentially thousands of fighters and were accused of killing civilians and other atrocities.
Putin insisted Tuesday that his invasion aimed to protect people in parts of eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed rebels and to “ensure Russia’s own security.”
He said Russia “had no other choice” but to launch what he calls a “special military operation,” and vowed it would “continue until its full completion and the fulfillment of the tasks that have been set.”
For now, Putin’s forces are gearing up for a major offensive in the Donbas, which has been torn by fighting between Russian-allied separatists and Ukrainian forces since 2014, and where Russia has recognized the separatists’ claims of independence. Military strategists say Moscow appears to hope that local support, logistics and the terrain in the region favor its larger, better-armed military, potentially allowing Russia to finally turn the tide in its favor.
In Mariupol, a strategic port city in the Donbas, a Ukrainian regiment defending a steel mill claimed a drone dropped a poisonous substance on the city. It indicated there were no serious injuries. The assertion by the Azov Regiment, a far-right group now part of the Ukrainian military, could not be independently verified.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that while experts try to determine what the substance might be, “The world must react now.” Evidence of “inhuman cruelty” toward women and children in Bucha and other suburbs of Kyiv continued to surface, he added, including of alleged rapes.
“Not all serial rapists reach the cruelty of Russian soldiers,” Zelenskyy said.
The claims came after a Russia-allied separatist official appeared to urge the use of chemical weapons, telling Russian state TV on Monday that separatist forces should seize the plant by first blocking all the exits. “And then we’ll use chemical troops to smoke them out of there,” the official, Eduard Basurin, said. He denied Tuesday that separatist forces had used chemical weapons in Mariupol.
Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said officials were investigating, and it was possible phosphorus munitions — which cause horrendous burns but are not classed as chemical weapons — had been used in Mariupol.
Much of the city has been leveled in weeks of pummeling by Russian troops. The mayor said Monday that the siege has left more than 10,000 civilians dead, their bodies “carpeted through the streets.” Mayor Vadym Boychenko said the death toll in Mariupol alone could surpass 20,000.
Zelenskyy adviser Mykhailo Podolyak acknowledged the challenges Ukrainian troops face in Mariupol. He said via Twitter that they remain blocked and are having issues with supplies, while Ukraine’s president and generals “do everything possible (and impossible) to find a solution.”
“For more than 1.5 months our defenders protect the city from (Russian) troops, which are 10+ times larger,” Podolyak tweeted. “They’re fighting under the bombs for each meter of the city. They make (Russia) pay an exorbitant price.”
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the use of chemical weapons “would be a callous escalation in this conflict,” while Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne said it would be a “wholesale breach of international law.”
U.S. President Joe Biden for the first time referred to Russia’s invasion as a “genocide.” He was even blunter later Tuesday, repeating the term and saying: “It’s become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.”
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a statement that the U.S. could not confirm the drone report. But he noted the administration’s persistent concerns “about Russia’s potential to use a variety of riot control agents, including tear gas mixed with chemical agents.”
Britain, meanwhile, has warned that Russia may resort to phosphorus bombs, which are banned in civilian areas under international law, in Mariupol.
Most armies use phosphorus munitions to illuminate targets or to produce smoke screens. Deliberately firing them into an enclosed space to expose people to fumes could breach the Chemical Weapons Convention, said Marc-Michael Blum, a former laboratory head at the Netherlands-based Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
“Once you start using the properties of white phosphorus, toxic properties, specifically and deliberately, then it becomes banned,” he said.
In Washington, a senior U.S. defense official said the Biden administration was preparing yet another package of military aid for Ukraine possibly totaling $750 million to be announced in the coming days. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss plans not yet publicly announced. Delivery is due to be completed this week of $800 million in military assistance approved by Biden a month ago.
In the face of stiff resistance by Ukrainian forces bolstered by Western weapons, Russian forces have increasingly relied on bombarding cities, flattening many urban areas and killing thousands. The war has driven more than 10 million Ukrainians from their homes — including nearly two-thirds of the country’s children.
Moscow’s retreat from cities and towns around Kyiv led to the discovery of large numbers of apparently massacred civilians, prompting widespread condemnation and accusations of war crimes.
More than 720 people were killed in Kyiv suburbs that had been occupied by Russian troops and over 200 were considered missing, the Interior Ministry said early Wednesday.
In Bucha alone, Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk said 403 bodies had been found and the toll could rise as minesweepers comb the area.
Ukraine’s prosecutor-general’s office said Tuesday it was also looking into events in the Brovary district, which lies to the northeast.
It said the bodies of six civilians were found with gunshot wounds in a basement in the village of Shevchenkove and Russian forces were believed to be responsible.
Prosecutors are also investigating allegations that Russian forces fired on a convoy of civilians trying to leave by car from the village of Peremoha in the Brovary district, killing four people including a 13-year-old boy. In another attack near Bucha, five people were killed including two children when a car was fired upon, prosecutors said.
Putin falsely claimed Tuesday that Ukraine’s accusation that hundreds of civilians were killed by Russian troops in the town of Bucha were “fake.” Associated Press journalists saw dozens of bodies in and around the town, some of whom had their hands bound and appeared to have been shot at close range.
Speaking at the Vostochny space launch facility in Russia’s far east, in his first known foray outside Moscow since the war began, Putin also said the West would fail to isolate Russia and its economy has withstood a “blitz” of sanctions.
Addressing the pace of the campaign, he said Moscow was proceeding “calmly and rhythmically” to “achieve the planned goals while minimizing the losses.”
The Russian defense ministry said Tuesday that it used used air- and sea-launched missiles to destroy an ammunition depot and airplane hangar at Starokostiantyniv in the western Khmelnytskyi region and an ammunition depot near Kyiv.

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp rose to national notice in 2018 in part through a television ad that showed him brandishing a shotgun at an actor playing a suitor of one of his daughters.
The Republican, then running as conservative insurgent, pushed his support for gun rights, proposing to do away with the requirement that Georgians obtain a permit to carry a concealed handgun in public.
Tuesday, facing a Republican primary challenge from former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, Kemp completed his return to those roots, signing Senate Bill 319. It immediately allows permitless carry in Georgia, making it the 25th state with such a law, and the 10th added in the past two years.
“SB 319 makes sure that law-abiding Georgians, including our daughters, and your family too, can protect themselves without having to have permission from your state government,” Kemp said outside Gable Sporting Goods in Douglasville, where he said he had previously purchased a handgun for one of his daughters. “The Constitution of the United States gives us that right, not the government.”
Republicans argue that requiring a carry permit, which costs about $75, infringes on Second Amendment gun rights. They also cite permitting delays in some Georgia counties during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kemp’s advocacy of permitless carry had grown quieter after he took office. He supported some gun rights expansions but talked little of constitutional carry, failing to mention the issue in his 2019, 2020 or 2021 State of the State speeches. Republican state House Speaker David Ralston shelved even a more modest gun bill in 2021 after shootings killed eight people at two Atlanta-area spas.
But in one example of how Perdue’s Donald Trump-endorsed challenge has forced Kemp to the right,he revived calls for constitutional carry in January,saying people need to carry guns to protect themselves against crime.
Perdue told reporters Tuesday in Atlanta that he’s “glad” Kemp was signing the bill but said the governor isn’t doing enough to fight crime. Perdue cited the failure of lawmakers to allow the Buckhead neighborhood to vote on seceding from Atlanta, said Kemp has let the state police force “deteriorate” and said Kemp should do more to arrest people who entered the country illegally.
“It’s too bad it took four years to get it done, and it’s too bad it took me getting in the race for them to get any energy to get that done,” Perdue said of the gun law.
Kemp denies he ever waivered on the issue, saying he had to keep persuading lawmakers. “The votes haven’t been there, but a lot changed,” he told reporters after signing the law.
Kemp’s support points to a sharp divergence between the Georgia Republican and Democratic parties this year on guns and other issues. There’s little dissension inside the Republican Party on expanding gun rights, while Democrats are eager to stake their claim to “commonsense” gun regulation.
At an event before Kemp signed the law, several Democratic lawmakers lambasted the measure as “criminal carry,” saying it would remove one of Georgia’s few deterrents blocking people who aren’t supposed to carry a gun.
Under Georgia law, people who have been convicted of a felony, are facing felony charges or have been treated for certain mental health issues within the past five years can’t carry a gun. The new law doesn’t change that. But it removes the background check for a permit to carry a loaded or concealed handgun in public. Democrats note that more than 5,000 people applied for permits last year and were blocked, and say police and the public will now face the danger of some of those people carrying guns.
“Yes, I believe in the Second Amendment,” said Sen. Donzella James, an Atlanta Democrat. “But why are we spreading the access to guns to everyone?”
Democrats point to polling showing the measure is unpopular with a majority of the public, saying Kemp has become a prisoner of his party’s right wing.
“It is a sad day when the Republican leadership across Georgia cares more about their political position than public safety,” said Rep. Roger Bruce, an Atlanta Democrat.
The state would still issue concealed-carry permits to allow Georgians to take advantage of agreements allowing interstate gun carry. Kemp also signed a bill Tuesday enhancing reciprocity in Georgia for gun owners from other states.
Kemp signed the law a day after Democratic President Joe Biden announced new regulations on ghost guns, privately made firearms without serial numbers. But Biden has made no progress on getting Congress to pass gun regulations, and the U.S. Supreme Court could be poisedto strike down New York’s more restrictive permitting regime.
There are no studies that show permitless carry laws decrease violent crimes, a 2020 Rand Institute analysis found, while it’s uncertain whether the laws increase violence.
Even some gun control proponents say that Georgia’s laws were already so permissive that it’s unclear what will change without permits. Allison Anderman is senior counsel for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, named for former Arizona U.S. Rep Gabby Giffords, a Democrat who was shot outside a supermarket and suffered a severe brain injury in 2011.
“I don’t know that we can really draw any conclusions,” Anderman said.
