A man has had to learn to walk again after a rare medical condition left him nearly completely paralysed. Garry Lyon, known as Gus, rapidly lost the use of his arms and legs and bodily functions after a fishing injury worsened a pre-existing medical condition.
The 69-year-old, from Patrington, had been diagnosed with spinal compression in 2020, but decided with the hospital to defer treatment until he had received his two Covid jabs. It was after he'd had his two jabs and was waiting to be called up for treatment that his condition deteriorated following a 15 minute tussle with a carp he caught while angling with a friend.
Gus has shared his experience to thank all the staff and medics who cared for him at Hull Royal Infirmary during his treatment in the summer of 2021. He said: "Nearly 70 years of a very physical and enthusiastic lifestyle had finally caught up with me as I laid in the ambulance en-route to HRI.

"My upper cervical discs and spine had collapsed and were crushing my spinal cord I had lost much of the use of arms legs and major body functions. It was scary stuff.
"Processing through A&E was as expected in a queue of unfortunates, some of whom appeared to be visually in a far worse state than myself. The medics stayed with me throughout and soon after I had an MRI scan. This revealed serious swelling and trauma around the spinal cord controlling all the messages from the brain to the body.
"Though immediate surgery was the initial plan, discussion between the surgeon and his team concluded that I should lay flat on my back, motionless in a restrictive surgical collar until the swelling had abated allowing better surgical access to the inner spinal column. When the alternative to compliance with medical judgement is risking total paralysis or worse, there isn’t really a choice."
This procedure is known as the Pinderfields Protocol, after the specialist spinal injuries centre based in Wakefield. Gus had to remain flat on his back for ten days.
He said: "The spinal degeneration would only get worse. On being transferred to Neurological Ward Four I asked how I would manage my eating and personal care? 'Don’t worry about that, we will do everything for you.' I was reassured, and they did.
"My personal space and privacy as all the other patients, was respected. Curtains around each bed were pulled closed at appropriate times of visits and doctors rounds .
"Patients wishing peace or seclusion had their curtains open or closed to create their own personal space. Large boxes of moist wipes were at every bedside with soap and toiletries available, clean towels by the bed every day, extra pillows and bedding on request. Every morning I was washed all over. My bedding was changed and any change of attire was attended to for me.
"I was not allowed to move a muscle. The practical skills by which I was rolled over and moved to facilitate this were testament to the professionalism of my carers. I was surprised at the gentleness and ease with they rolled my 17 stone lump.
"Along with all the others, I was regularly checked both by morning doctor rounds and asked if I needed anything by my carers. I felt reassured and safe and had a red button at hand in case I needed any help but had little need of this. On the few occasions in the two weeks I was there that I used it, the longest time I waited was 40 seconds.
"One day when I needed a further MRI scan towards the end of a staff shift it was to be delayed due to lack of a serviceable trolley to convey me to the next floor. Two nurses rushed around and found a barely suitable conveyance. They made themselves late off duty so that I could have the scan that day and not have to wait until the following day and prolong my treatment. They were determined that their patient would get the required treatment whilst still on their shift. Dedicated? Yes. Committed? Yes. Underpaid? Definitely.
"Following a successful operation on July 2, which took several hours, I was able to walk out of the ward the very next day and go home. The skills of the surgeon and his team, together with the excellent professional care on the ward enabled me to return home safely to my family." Mr Amar Bhavsar and his team carried out the operation. Gus cannot praise everyone involved enough.
He said: "Throughout my life I have had numerous visits to HRI for treatment to injuries and trauma incidents. I have always been treated very well and have never had cause to criticise. Everyone has their own story and opinion to voice and doubtless personal experiences vary. Many people are quick to complain yet slow to praise. This is my personal experience - it is one I will never forget and for which I will be forever grateful."
Nine months, Gus can carry out his daily life without problems. He has even been able to ride again on his beloved Honda TT 500 motorcycle. All that remains to show of his time in hospital is a scar on his throat.
He can't walk great distances but recently had three days treatment at Pinderfields Hospital to improve his mobility further and said: "I can do everything that you'd expect a near 70-year-old bloke could do, I'm well recovered."

Yamaha, the long standing player in the two wheeler segment in India has unveiled a couple of electric scooters in India namely the Yamaha E01 and the Yamaha Neo’s. While newer companies such as Okinawa, Ampere, Revolt, Ather, etc already have an EV product in the market, Yamaha is now all set to enter the space soon with two new vehicles. Here’s everything you need to know about the Yamaha E01 and the Yamaha Neo’s.
1Pricing & Availability
To recall, the E01 electric scooter concept was showcased at 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. While the E01 availability and price are yet to be unveiled, the Neo’s Electric Scooter from Yamaha recently debuted in Europe for a retail price of €3,099 (approx Rs 2.5 lakh). Again, the pricing, as well as the availability of the Neo’s in India, is yet to be disclosed by Yamaha.
2Design
The Yamaha E01 is a maxi-styled scooter that features a sporty profile. The scooter comes with dual headlights, a compact windscreen, and a comfortable single-piece seat. The scooter is expected to be offered in both single and dual-tone colour options.
As for the Yamaha Neo’s, it sports LED headlamps, telescopic front forks, mono-shock rear suspension, and storage space of 27 litres below the seat. Neo’s styling is based on Yamaha’s Jin-Ki Kanno EV Design concept that places the MOTOROiD concept model at the top of the pyramid.

3Power
Yamaha says that the E01 urban commuter model power output is comparable to a 125cc scooter engine. It has a range of over 100 kilometres. In European markets, as per the regulatory requirements mandated for light electric scooters, the E01 should have an 11kW (15 bhp) motor. Official specifications are yet to be unveiled by the company as of now.
Coming to the Yamaha Neo’s, you get a range of up to 68 kilometres, due to two interchangeable battery packs available on the scooter (50.4 V, 19.2 Ah Li-ion batteries). With a single battery, the range is limited to 38.5 kms. The battery feeds a brushless DC hub motor, rated to deliver 2.5 kW (3.4PS) of power and 136 Nm of torque in Standard mode. The power output is comparable to a 50cc scooter. The Charging time of the Neo’s is around eight hours with a standard AC charger.
4Features
The Yamaha E01 features a touchscreen display that supports a smartphone connection. There’s an in-built SIM card so you can access various features which require an internet connection. Then it has regenerative brakes and three different driving modes (Eco, Normal and Power) for better drivability. You also get features like bluetooth connectivity and keyless ignition.
With Yamaha Neo’s, you get features such as smart key integration and a completely digital LCD instrument console that also supports smartphone connections like the E01. Neo’s is equipped with two selectable ride modes designed to suit different conditions and individual
preferences. Standard mode is designed for typical road use and delivers the highest power output, while Eco mode reduces battery consumption and is ideal for longer trips.
The connected LCD instruments display notifications of any incoming calls and messages from your smartphone using the Yamaha MyRide app. It can also show scooter information on your smartphone and share images and ride information with other MyRiders.

Durban: A float of 14 crocodiles washed away from Crocodile Creek Farm in Tongaat following recent heavy rainfalls in KZN, have been recaptured.
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife spokesperson Musa Mntambo said they were initially informed only 12 crocodiles had gone missing.
By Wednesday, seven crocodiles had been recaptured. The Department then said they were looking for the remaining five.
“We suspect that they might have walked towards the Tongaat River which is less than a kilometre from the farm.”
However, on Thursday, Mntambo said 14 were recaptured.
When asked if they suspected if anymore had washed away, he said:
“We do not really suspect that but it’s possible.
“The estimate that we initially provided was based on one pond that got destroyed.
“As the water levels were also high in other ponds maybe one or two might have jumped out like that but we doubt it.”

CD Projekt Red announced it is delaying the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt indefinitely, and will no longer be releasing the upgrade in Q2.
Part of the delay may have to do with the change in the developer. Previously, the update was being developed externally by Saber Interactive, but CD Projekt Red has elected to bring the remainder of the game's development in-house
“We have decided to have our in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” a recent Tweet on The Witcher’s account reads. “We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice. We'll update you as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding.”
We have decided to have our in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice. 1/2
— The Witcher (@witchergame) April 13, 2022
The upcoming free upgrade is intended to “visually and technically” enhance the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X versions of the game, which was originally released in 2015.
The upgrade was originally planned for a late 2021 release but faced initial delays based on “recommendations supplied by persons supervising development,” according to a 2021 Tweet.
This isn’t the first delayed project from CD Projekt Red, either — Cyberpunk 2077 was also repeatedly delayed before its release.
While this next-gen version is currently facing delays, CD Projekt Red is continuing to expand on The Witcher. Last month, the company announced that a new Witcher game is also in development. Previously, IGN awarded The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt our Game of the Year award in 2015.

By FRANCES D’EMILIO
Associated Press
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has celebrated Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica to mark Holy Thursday, hours before he was expected at an Italian prison to perform a foot-washing ritual for a dozen inmates in a gesture of humility.
Attending the Mass were some 1,800 priests. Francis in his homily advised priests not to focus on worldly concerns such as power, planning and bureaucracy. He exhorted them to “serve, with a clear conscience, the holy and faithful people of God.”
Francis made no reference to decades of scandals involving priests who sexually abused children and were often transferred from parish to parish by bishops who tried to avoid embarrassment rather than protect minors.
In the afternoon, Francis is expected at a prison in Civitavecchia, a port town 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Rome, for the foot-washing ceremony which recalls Jesus’ gesture of humility for his apostles.
Francis has made paying attention to those on society’s margins — including refugees, migrants and people in prisons — a hallmark of his papacy. On Holy Thursday in past years, he has gone to prisons in or near Rome.
Holy Week, which draws hundreds of thousands of faithful to the Vatican, began with Palm Sunday Mass on April 10 in St. Peter’s Square.
This year, the Good Friday torch-lit Way of the Cross procession returns to its traditional venue at the ancient Colosseum after a two-year absence due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Vatican has invited a Russian woman and a Ukrainian woman, who work together at a Rome hospital, to carry a cross together during the procession. That has angered some Ukrainians, including Ukraine’s ambassador to the Holy See and the archbishop of Kyiv. Their objections center on whether such a gesture, implying reconciliation, is suitable, given Russia’s invasion of its neighbor Ukraine and ongoing war against the country’s people.
The Vatican is still going ahead with the procession’s lineup of participants, who take turns carrying a lightweight cross during the procession, which is presided over by the pontiff and recalls Jesus’ death by crucifixion.
Holy Week culminates on Easter Sunday, two days later.

Russian navy evacuates flagship in Black Sea. Ukraine claims it was hit by a missile
CNN
By Brad Lendon, CNN
One of the Russian Navy’s most important warships is either floating abandoned or at the bottom of the Black Sea, a massive blow to a military struggling against Ukrainian resistance 50 days into Vladimir Putin’s invasion of his neighbor.
Russian sailors have evacuated the guided-missile cruiser Moskva, the flagship of its Black Sea fleet, after a fire that detonated ammunition aboard, Russian state media reported Wednesday.
State media outlets TASS and RIA, citing the Russian Defense Ministry, said the Moskva had been seriously damaged in the incident and that the cause of the fire was being investigated. The Russian reports gave no information on possible casualties.
But hours earlier, a Ukrainian official claimed the Russian warship had been hit by cruise missiles fired from Ukraine.
Due to large storms over the Black Sea obscuring satellite imagery and sensory satellite data, CNN has not been able to visually confirm the ship has been hit or its current status, but analysts noted that a fire on board such a ship can lead to a catastrophic explosion that could sink it.
Whatever the reason for the fire, the analysts say it strikes hard at the heart of the Russian navy as well as national pride, comparable to the US Navy losing a battleship during World War II or an aircraft carrier today.
“Only the loss of a ballistic missile submarine or the Kutznetsov (Russia’s lone aircraft carrier) would inflict a more serious blow to Russian morale and the navy’s reputation with the Russian public,” said Carl Schuster, a retired US Navy captain and former director of operations at the US Pacific Command’s Joint Intelligence Center.
Alessio Patalano, professor of war and strategy at King’s College in London, said losing the warship would be a “massive blow” for Russia.
“Ships operate away from public attention and their activities are rarely the subject of news. But they are large floating pieces of national territory, and when you lose one, a flagship no less, the political and symbolic message — in addition to the military loss — stands out precisely because of it,” he said.
The 611-foot-long (186 meters) Moskva, with a crew of almost 500, is the pride of the Russian naval fleet in the Black Sea. Originally commissioned into the Soviet navy as the Slava in the 1980s, it was renamed Moskva in 1995 and after a refit reentered service in 1998, according to military site Naval-Technology.com.
The Moskva is armed with a range of anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles as well as torpedoes and naval guns and close-in missile defense systems.
All those represent massive amounts of explosive ordnance in its ammunition magazines. Any fire nearing them would have given the crew limited options to deal with the threat, Schuster said.
“When a fire reaches your ammunition magazine(s), you have two choices; 1) flood them or 2) abandon ship,” Schuster said. “Otherwise your crew is onboard to be wiped out by the catastrophic explosion that follows a fire reaching several hundred tons of ordnance.”
Odesa state regional administrator Maxim Marchenko claimed in a post on Telegram that Ukrainian forces had used Neptune cruises missiles to attack the Moskva. If that’s true, the Moskva would potentially be the largest warship ever taken out of action by a missile, Schuster said.
Such an achievement would represent a big advance for Kyiv’s forces.
The Neptune is a Ukrainian weapon, developed domestically based on the Soviet KH-35 cruise missile. It became operational in the Ukrainian forces just last year, according to Ukrainian media reports.
If it was used to attack the Moskva, it would be the first known use of the Neptune during the war, according to a post on the website of the Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC) from Lt. Cmdr. Jason Lancaster, a US Navy surface warfare officer.
His post for the CIMSEC on Tuesday said the threat posed by mobile shore-based cruise missiles like the Neptune “changes operational behavior” of an enemy.
Russian “ships will operate in ways to minimize the risk of detection and maximize their chances to defend themselves,” Lancaster wrote. “These behavioral changes limit Russia’s ability to utilize their fleet to their advantage. The added stress of sudden combat increases fatigue and can lead to mistakes.”
According to Patalano, the war professor: “It would appear the Russians have learned that the hard way today.”
In the CIMSEC post, Lancaster notes the British Royal Navy lost several ships to missiles fired by Argentina during the 1982 Falklands War.
During that war, a British submarine sank the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano, a former World War II US Navy ship similar in size to the Moskva.
The Moskva also poses symbolic significance to Ukraine as it was one of the ships involved in the famous exchange at Snake Island in February, according to Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to a purported audio exchange in late February, as the Russians approached the Ukrainian garrison on Snake Island, also known as Zmiinyi Island, in the Black Sea, a Russian officer said: “This is a military warship. This is a Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed.”
A Ukrainian soldier responded: “Russian warship, go f*** yourself.”
If the Moskva is lost, it would be the second large-sized Russian naval vessel to suffer that fate during Moscow’s war with Ukraine.
In late March, Ukraine said a missile strike had destroyed a Russian landing ship at the port of Berdiansk.

Russia's Plan A in Ukraine failed. Here's what Plan B could look like
Ukraine's military has fought so effectively that Russia has abandoned its Plan A, which envisioned a quick takeover of the capital Kyiv. Russia has now turned to Plan B, with troops focused on the eastern part of Ukraine.
So as the war enters a new phase, what does this mean for both sides?
The advantage of fighting at home
Ukraine has so far made the most of one key asset during times of war — the home-field advantage.
"People are motivated to defend their territory when it's their home turf, more than people are motivated to attack it," said Gideon Rose is with the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of How Wars End.
"You can see that the soldiers and the mercenaries on the Russian side are not particularly motivated, whereas the Ukrainians defending their homes are."
An invading army like Russia has to pack everything it needs — weapons, fuel, food, medical supplies. And Russian troops have been sleeping outside for weeks during the rough Ukrainian winter.
As Russia regroups, it's concentrating forces in eastern Ukraine, just across the border from Russia. That could improve its troubled supply lines.
But Kori Schake at the American Enterprise Institute believes "the Ukrainians will still have big advantages."
"Everybody knows where all the streets go. Everybody knows who lives where, whereas the Russians are fumbling their way around a foreign country," she added.
Here's one remarkable fact of this war: Russia still hasn't captured a single major city.
The Russians are on the outskirts of several cities, where heavy fighting plays out daily. And the Russians were within 10 miles of the capital Kyiv during the early days of the war, which began on Feb. 24.
But they recently retreated from around the capital Kyiv, heading north into neighboring Belarus. Those troops are being resupplied, according to the Pentagon, and at least some are expected to travel across Belarus and Russia, and rejoin the fight in eastern Ukraine.
But just getting there poses some challenges, says Schake.
"The Ukrainians have interior lines of communication. They can move troops inside their own country," she said. "The Russians have to go out and around [Ukraine], extending the mileage on tanks and everything else."
Russia had no single commander in charge as it attacked Ukraine from the north, east and the south. U.S. and European officials now say that Russia has put Gen. Aleksandr Dvornikov in overall command.
He was overseeing the southern sector of the war, which included Russia's heavy bombing of the coastal city of Mariupol.
Dvornikov, 60, previously served as the commander of Russian forces in Syria, where they supported Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. The Russian forces helped stabilize Assad in Syria's civil war, but were also blamed for frequent attacks on hospitals and other civilian targets.
Analysts say a single commander in Ukraine might be able to provide better command and control over Russian forces, which so far have been plagued by poor planning, logistics problems and a tough Ukrainian defense.
The next phase is likely to be concentrated battles in the east
In the first stage of the war, the Ukrainians were highly successful with ambush attacks, using small, mobile weapons, like Javelin and Stinger missiles supplied by the U.S. These weapons are fired from the shoulder of a single soldier, and can take out a tank or a low-flying plane.
But the Ukrainians are pleading for heavy weapons, like tanks and big artillery guns, that could be critical in the fighting to come. They are getting some of what the want — but so far in small numbers.
The Czech Republic has sent a few tanks. Britain is chipping in with armored vehicles. Slovakia has sent an S-300 anti-aircraft system that can bring down high-flying Russian fighter jets.
But it's nowhere near the scale of what Russia possesses.
"They just need everything," said Lawrence Freedman, professor emeritus of war studies at King's College London. "You know, wars are very greedy in using up material."
Freedman said the fighting in the east could feature entrenched battles more suited to Russia's large, hulking weapons.
"The Ukrainians talked about it being like a World War Two battle," he said. "The two sides could be hammering away at each other with artillery."
Yet he also notes that Russia's military struggles so far could multiply as the fighting grinds on.
"They are badly damaged. They've lost a lot of kit. They've lost a lot of people. The morale will be down. They're scraping around for reserves," said Freedman. "The army is just not as strong as it was six weeks ago. Indeed, it's it's been in many respects degraded."
The Pentagon and European officials estimate that Russia has lost somewhere between 20 to 30 percent of the combat strength it sent into Ukraine.
A test of endurance for both sides
There are no signs the war will end quickly. Many military analysts are forecasting months of fighting. U.S. Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, testified to Congress last week that he expects the war to last years.
So how much endurance can each side can each side muster?
On the Ukrainian side, about a quarter of the population has been driven from their homes, many cities and towns have been badly battered, and the economy is in ruins.
But the war has united Ukrainians, who've shown a strong will to fight, and no appetite for compromise, says Schake.
"The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians want Russia pushed out of their country, and that's a powerful force preventing a negotiated settlement," Schake said.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin didn't get the quick and easy victory he expected, and now faces a protracted conflict as well as sweeping Western sanctions that are expected to shrink Russia's economy by 10 percent or more this year.
Putin cut his losses and withdrew troops from northern Ukraine, opting to pursue scaled-back ambitions in the east, where pro-Russian forces have controlled territory in the Donbas region since 2014.
Putin still has the military resources to carry on the war indefinitely. And even if the war keeps going badly for Russia, Putin is likely to keep on fighting until he works his way through the "five stages of grief," according to Gideon Rose.
"Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance," Rose said. "What ultimately has to happen is Putin has to accept defeat and choose to walk away, choose to retrench. And that is something that is a psychological process, not just a strategic process."
And that, he says, could take a long time.

About one in five (19%) U.S. survey takers traded cryptocurrencies in the last six months, with just 7% exchanging a non-fungible token, according to Kagan's March 2022 U.S. Consumer Insights survey of 2,519 internet adults.
The buying of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, collectively referred to as "digital assets," is dominated by millennial men, video gamers, sports betters and college graduates residing in households earning more than $99,999.
Bitcoin, the bellwether peer-to-peer digital coin, was released during the 2009 U.S. housing crash by a group of online security experts seeking a nongovernment denominated digital currency built on and backed by software. These blockchain-enabled software systems are essentially distributed accounting ledgers, perhaps best envisioned as a cloud-based Excel spreadsheet the world can view to track the movements of these digital tokens.
The number of different blockchain coins has since grown to over 15,000. NFTs emerged a few years after the launch of bitcoin and fit in existing blockchains to create a singular blockchain-approved digital copy of an image or other content including music and video. The most famous NFT example might be Michael Winkelmann's "First 5000 days" image, which sold for $69 million in March 2021.
NFTs are also becoming elements in video games. According to our survey results, digital asset fans are a receptive audience. While 41% of the survey base owned at least one of the big three game consoles, the same figure for cryptocurrency traders was 72%, with NFT buyers higher at 84%. Digital asset traders were also far more likely to be weekly PC/console and mobile gamers compared to the overall survey base.
Digital asset traders are also huge sports betters. While just 20% of the surveyed base had bet on a live sports game in the last 60 days, the same figure for crypto traders was 62%, with NFT buyers at 81%. The notorious volatility associated with digital asset trading probably fits well with the risk profiles needed to place bets on sports. Overall, keeping an open mind is key for anyone wishing to learn more about this burgeoning new asset class.
Data presented in this article and associated Excel file was collected from Kagan's U.S. Consumer Insights survey conducted in March 2022. The survey totaled 2,519 internet adults, with a margin of error of +/- 1.9 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. Percentages are rounded up to the nearest whole number. Survey data should only be used to identify general market characteristics and directional trends.

Maritime and offshore classification society American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has granted its approval in principle (AIP) for an innovative concept for a floating LNG (FLNG) vessel utilizing storage tanks from older LNG carriers.
The design, jointly developed by Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) and JGC Corporation (JGC), supported by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, involves transferring and reusing LNG storage tanks from spherical tank (Moss tank) LNG carriers in the hulls of new FLNG facilities.
By re-using existing LNG vessels’ Type B storage tanks, the potential number of shipyards globally able to build FLNG units is increased, which supports the forecasted demand for a wider and quicker adoption of FLNG technology, ABS said.
“In many areas of the world, FLNG represents a potential solution to the challenge of meeting the increasing demand for natural gas without the need for an export pipeline to shore and the associated infrastructure. ABS is committed to supporting the development of FLNG globally while retaining a laser focus on safety,” said Tor Ivar Guttulsrod, ABS Director, FLNG and FSRU.
“This innovative FLNG leverages “K” LINE’s expertise in LNG carrier business and contributes to reuse of existing assets to support the world’s environment. “K” LINE will continue to make relentless efforts and generate new values to meet the diversifying needs of our customers,” said Satoshi Kanamori, Executive Officer of “K” LINE.
"This is based on our technical capabilities accumulated in FLNG EPC projects. This results in the enhancement of the customer's FLNG business since it is potentially an optimized CAPEX solution. JGC will continue to develop FLNG technologies for open seas and nearshore," said Hiroyuki Ishizaki, Executive Officer of JGC Corporation.

UNHCR Tunisia Operational Update - 31 March 2022
Attachments
Key figures
9,547 people of concern to UNHCR (asylum-seekers & refugees)
322 people of concern to UNHCR registered in Tunisia in 2022
23 individuals profiled within mixed movements in 2022
480 refugee and asylum-seeking households received cash assistance during March 2022
Operational Context
On 18-19 March, Tunisian authorities retrieved the bodies of 25 individuals from a beach in Nabeul, northeast Tunisia. Reportedly, the bodies came from a boat departed from Tunisia on 15 March with 60 individuals onboard that went missing in the Mediterranean.
Among them, eight Syrian refugees registered with UNHCR were identified, while many others remain missing. UNHCR and its partner, the Tunisian Refugee Council (CTR), have liaised with the authorities and supported the families with burial expenses. The Central Mediterranean Route remains one of the most dangerous migratory routes, with 394 people missing in the first quarter of the year, and 1,977 in 2021, according to UNHCR estimates.
UNHCR Tunisia continues to face funding shortfall that has obliged the operation to scale back its monthly cash-based support since February 2022. An additional $2 million remains immediately needed to resume cash assistance and scale-up the response to respond to increased needs for 1,000 people of concern to UNHCR until the end of the year.
Operational Response
UNHCR and CTR celebrated the International Women’s Day and the Women’s History Month with several activities dedicated to women and girls from refugee and host communities in Tunis,
Sousse, Kairouan, and Medenine; including awareness sessions on sexual and reproductive health, free medical check-ups, handcraft workshops, movie projections, and debates.
Those activities aimed at sensitizing against gender-based violence, encouraging women empowerment, as well as promoting women rights, respect for diversity, and fighting stereotypes.
From 6 to 11 March, a UNHCR health expert conducted a mission in Tunisia with the aim to review UNHCR’s Health Strategy in Tunisia, as well as the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the provision of health assistance to the population of concern.
During the mission, the expert met UNHCR staff, partners, and people of concern to UNHCR to gather their feedback on the quality of healthcare services. The expert visited the shelters, met with public health officials and managers of public hospitals, private clinics, and pharmacies. The recommendations formulated will help UNHCR and its partners to efficiently restructure the way they support refugees and asylum-seekers in response to healthcare needs.
UNHCR provided clothing and other essential items to 30 refugee and host community families thanks to the coordination between UNHCR, the Child Protection Delegate and civil society of Tataouine, Medenine and Gabes in the identification of people in need.
In Gabes, the association “Cinema for all” launched a movie club for Syrian children. The first event of the club saw the participation of 13 refugee children and included movie screening and short video production, used as a tool for creative and free self-expression.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 47-year-old gay man. I’m well-educated, but there’s something I can’t figure out. Why do straight guys NOT want to be friends? I never hit on them, I enjoy a lot of the same pastimes like games, working on cars, etc. I want to be transparent, but when I tell them upfront, they disappear.
Sometimes it gets back to me that they thought I was asking them on a date if I invited someone to go to a ballgame, for example. I have plenty of female friends, but what I really want is a male best friend or, hell, just a male friend, period.
Of course, everyone has their own opinions on what I should do — “join a meeting, a group, social activities and blah blah.” I have done all of those things, and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I have now learned to just keep my mouth shut and not invite anyone to do anything.
Any suggestions would be welcomed, but I have pretty much tried everything, including seeing a counselor. — CURIOUS IN OKLAHOMA
DEAR CURIOUS: The problem you’re having with straight men may be that they are nervous about being perceived as “gay by association” if they are friendly with you. Some may also find the concept of being friends with a gay man to be threatening.
Taking part in group activities and outings is certainly a way to connect with others regardless of sexual orientation. Eventually, you’ll meet people and form friendships. In the meantime, appreciate those female friends of yours and ask them for some input, too.

The erratic price changes of Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital currencies are undeniably fascinating, especially for crypto enthusiasts and speculative investors. Besides using cryptos to make more efficient payment transactions, many people also engage in Bitcoin trading to make some cash. But whether you’re looking for ways to make your cryptos work for you without selling them or want to get your hands on cryptos without actually buying them, crypto lending might be the solution for you.
Crypto loans in a nutshell
First things first—what are crypto loans and how do they work? Bitcoin loans are pretty much like any other loan where you can borrow specific amounts from a lender and pay them at certain interest rates. The only difference is that in this type of loan, cryptocurrencies serve as your collateral or the item or asset used to secure the loan.
You’re probably aware of how much Bitcoin is worth today, but just in case you aren’t, the price of Bitcoin has reached over 54,000 USD at the time of writing. The rapidly changing value of Bitcoin is the clear reason why it isn’t easy to just borrow Bitcoin from someone you know. In cases like this, the lender and borrower need reassurance that the requirements from both parties can and will be met.
So if you want to either borrow or lend crypto securely and reliably, exploring crypto or Bitcoin lending platforms might be the most appropriate solution for you.
Getting started with Bitcoin loans
After understanding how crypto loans work, let’s now look into the essential things you need to familiarize yourself with before applying for a Bitcoin loan.
Crypto lending platforms
These platforms are set up to act as a safe place where Bitcoin lenders and borrowers can set up and complete transactions in a secure and efficient way. Bitcoin lending platforms have two types: centralized and decentralized. Some platforms allow you to open a savings account, take out loans, and even trade cryptos.
- 🔐 Centralized Finance (CeFi) Crypto Lending – This type of platform is run and maintained by a company or group. Simply put, it has a central authority that manages and controls all of its systems and operations. Centralized platforms often require users to create an account and go through security compliance procedures like know your customer (KYC) to prevent money laundering activities and related financial crimes from taking place. This regulated platform keeps track of all transactions using blockchain technology and often has 24/7 customer support service available for all users.
- 🔏 Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Crypto Lending – This type of Bitcoin lending platform operates without any central authority. Instead of being monitored and secured by people, decentralized Bitcoin lending platforms are handled by codes. They often use smart contracts to automate payouts and transactions. Since it runs on the blockchain, all transactions taking place can be viewed by everyone in the network, which paves the way for more transparency. When you borrow Bitcoin from decentralized crypto lending platforms, all you need to do is apply for a loan and send the digital currency that will serve as the collateral. That means you don’t need to provide personal information or worry about your credit score or other required documents.
Both offer unique, strong points but be sure to pick one that is more accessible, practical, and easier for you to use.
Cryptocurrencies for collateral
The digital currencies you can use as collateral vary depending on the crypto lending platform you choose. But to give you an idea, most crypto lending platforms today allow you to borrow coins like Tether (USDT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), Monero (XMR), Litecoin (LTC), Tron (TRX), Ripple (XRP), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Stellar (XLM), and more. You can also use them as collateral for a loan. It’s up for you to decide which ones are your top picks!
Interest
Like borrowing money from banks and other financial institutions, Bitcoin loans also come with lending rates or the cost of borrowing money or assets. Often, interest rates vary on the terms of the loan, the amount, and the crypto lending platform. So make sure to check how much interest you’ll be paying for the amount you’re planning to borrow. Some Bitcoin lending platforms offer fixed or floating interest rates.
A fixed interest rate is a steady or constant rate charged on a liability. This means you will only have to pay a fixed amount of interest throughout your payment period. This can be applicable for the entire term or just part of your payment term. On the other hand, a floating interest rate is a rate that highly depends on the market movement. This means that the amount may go up or down without further notice.
Some say that fixed interest rates can be a bit higher than floating interest rates, but it can be your option if you’re comfortable with paying a fixed amount of interest. Floating rates, on the flip side, can be slightly lower than fixed rates. However, you can never tell when the percentage rate will shoot up or drop and how high or low it can go. You might encounter other types of interest rates as you go along, so it’ll be helpful to talk to your loan provider so you can better understand how they work.
Should you consider applying for a crypto loan?
With all the things we’ve discussed so far, you’re probably thinking about whether trying your hands on crypto loans is a good idea or not. So here are other key points you might want to look into to help you come to a decision.
If you’re a newbie in the crypto space and want to have fractions of BTC by not taking the trading route, you can opt to borrow Bitcoin to get started. Sending and receiving money through cryptos is much cheaper and faster than with many banks and other third-party financial institutions.
Crypto loans are well suited for those who don’t have bank accounts. Since cryptos don’t require personal information, credit scores, or bank history, it’s much easier to access them and the financial services they support. This includes bill payments, everyday purchases, remittances, and a lot more.
If you’re a Bitcoin investor who’s thinking of ways to grow your crypto without having to sell them, you might want to consider lending BTC. This way, you can make extra cash through its gains.
So, should you consider applying for a crypto loan or perhaps lending your BTC? As usual, we’ll leave the decision up to you!

When a recession hits, architects often take it in the gut. The design sector has traditionally been one of the losers of a market downturn, with big real estate developments being put on hold and the need for architectural design services kicked down the road. But during the economic downturn brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, architecture has been surprisingly robust.
Of five different creative industries in California—including entertainment, fashion, and the arts—architecture and its related services was the most resilient. Between 2019 and 2020, the industry saw only a 2.2% decrease in employment, and even that appears to have been a temporary lull.
Nationwide, the industry added 670,000 jobs in 2021, the largest number since before the global financial crisis. From 2019 to April 2021, the number of businesses within the sector even grew, increasing by about 8%. Architecture, often a canary in the coal mine for recessions, seems to be a bellwether of a pandemic recovery.
These numbers come from the 2022 Otis College Report on the Creative Economy. Issued annually by Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, the report tracks the economic health of creative industries in California, focusing specifically on five sectors: architecture; creative goods and products; entertainment and digital media; fashion; and fine arts and performing arts. These industries add up to nearly 12% of the state’s gross domestic product, with a heavy concentration of jobs and economic activity in the greater Los Angeles area. Architecture and related fields like landscape architecture, civil and building engineering, drafting, and interior design represent a nearly $30 billion industry in California.
This year’s rosy picture of the architecture sector has a few key causes, according to economist Adam Fowler, a partner at CVL Economics, which authored the report.
Mainly, there’s just a lot of demand for architectural design in cities across California and around the country.
“There’s such a backlog in supply of both commercial and residential space in a lot of our larger metro areas that have had robust job growth for so long,” Fowler says, noting that demand is especially high for affordable housing and smaller projects like accessory dwelling units. “We are so behind . . . with the price points now for residential in California, I’m constantly asked if it’s a new bubble. No, it’s not. Tragically no. This is just actual demand.”
The industry’s resilience has been evident around the country during the pandemic, which led many homeowners and businesses to think differently about their indoor and outdoor real estate. Architects and designers have stepped in to assist.
“There was a lot of spending on space. People who were running a school, running an office, doing a lot of work out of their primary residence, there was a lot of investment in making those spaces more workable, more livable,” Fowler says. “It may not be the new concert hall opening, but it was work, especially in the landscape architecture space, that may have filled in some gaps.”
New York state, the other main center of architectural employment in the U.S., was hit harder during the pandemic, with architecture and related fields seeing a 7.1% decline in employment in New York City. But those numbers reflect a California-like temporary dip in an otherwise upward trend. Architecture-related jobs overall have been rising there as well. Between 2007 and 2020, they rose 5.9% across the state and 11.4% in New York City.
Of course, architects in California and New York aren’t doing projects only in those places. Fowler says the uptick in architectural work around the country could lead to continued growth for the industry, especially as more places reckon with the backlog of development and the need for more affordable housing. “This sector,” he says, “is helped by localities that can build things.”

..As Irate Fans Disrupt Post Match Interview
..Blame Naze Millionaires Mgt over Club’s Misfortune
The possibility of Heartland FC escaping relegation this season was on Tuesday compounded by resilient Demo Stars FC.
The Ikene based NPFL side owned by sports betting mogul held the Owerri Landlords to a pulsating draw at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in their rescheduled match day 22 encounter to further worsen their chances of avoiding the impending drop at the end of the season.
This seemingly frustrating situation no doubt infuriated the fans who went bizarre letting their anger following the teams dwindling fortunes.
The fans who were obviously not satisfied with the performance of their Darling team especially their position on the NPFL log disrupted the post match interview of the sports writers with Remo Stars Gaffer, Gbenga Ogunbote as he was expressing his dissatisfaction with the condition of the Dan Anyiam Stadium which he said couldn’t allow for free flow of the game.
Irked by Ogunbote’s view, the fans who were visibly furious and animated started throwing bottled water at the direction of the post match interview were members of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria SWAN, Imo Chapter alongside other journalists who attended the match were diligently performing their professional job.
The action by the irate fans heightened the already charged atmosphere inside the arena which scared the Heartland gaffer, Erasmus Onuh that was also waiting to be interviewed according to LMC laws of NPFL as he quickly disappeared from the main bowl of Dan Anyiam to avoid being lynched.
When Trumpeta sports desk quissed further on the irate fans to ascertain reasons for their action, some of them who spoke in Igbo said, “This people have killed us, they are joking with the only thing that gives us joy.
“The management have failed us and the team is playing nonsense.
“With what we are saw today against Remo Stars, how can we survive relegation.
They however apologised to the SWAN members and others for their unruly behavior but accused Heartland FC management and government officials handling the team of mismanaging the club.
Heartland FC is currently pegged at the bottom of log with 21 points from 22 games and will travel to Uyo on Sunday to take on fellow strugglers Dakkada FC at the Nest of Champions.

RISON, Ark. (AP) — A 20-year-old Arkansas woman was killed when a tree fell on her home as severe storms swept through the area, officials said.
Her death occurred Wednesday as part of a multiday severe weather outbreak that caused tornadoes, powerful winds and huge hail in parts of the central United States.
In Arkansas, the woman was died when a tree toppled on her home in Rison shortly after 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, pinning her to the couch, said Stephen McClellan, Cleveland County’s emergency management coordinator. Rison is about 55 miles (90 kilometers) south of Little Rock.
A day earlier, 23 people were injured in the central Texas town of Salado. The National Weather Service in Fort Worth said Wednesday that the twister was rated an EF3 with peak wind speeds of 165 mph (265 kph).
Tornadoes were also reported Tuesday in parts of Iowa and Minnesota. And a blizzard struck North Dakota this week, closing the state Capitol, schools, government offices and interstates.

Los Angeles street gangs are attacking people leaving high-end areas in brazen "follow-home" robberies, police say
Los Angeles street gangs are behind brazen robberies in which people are followed home from fancy locations, stripped of a fortune in jewelry or other goods and sometimes shot, police said Tuesday.
At least 17 gangs, most of them based in South Los Angeles, have independently staged robberies, sometimes using spotters to target people wearing high-end watches or driving expensive cars, Capt. Jonathan Tippet, who spearheads an LAPD "follow-home robbery" task force, told the city Police Commission.
As many as five carloads of people have followed home some targets, swarming them to steal watches, handbags or cars before they have much of a chance to resist, Tippet said.
The Los Angeles Police Commission retweeted a local TV report showing video of some of the robberies.
In one case, a man was arrested this month on suspicion of robbing a victim of two watches worth an estimated $600,000.
"We have seen countless individuals traumatized by having a gun pointed at them," Tippet said. "Many others are dealing with the trauma and injuries from being tackled, kicked, beaten, punched and are pistol-whipped to the head."
Tippet said there were 165 such holdups last year and 56 so far this year, including five in the past two days. Thirteen victims were shot, including two people who died. Fifty robberies took place in the LAPD's Hollywood Division and nearly as many in the Wilshire Division, along with many in an area that includes the downtown Jewelry District.
Such attacks were "almost unheard of" before last year, Tippet said.
"In my 34 years in the LAPD, I have never seen this type of criminal behavior" in such large, coordinated groups, Tippet said.
In one holdup Monday, a woman stopped at a light had her car window smashed and when she tried to run off, the robbers struck her with their car, according to video released by police. The thieves then got out and snatched the woman's watch, which she had thrown into the street.
Video of two recent holdups supplied by the LAPD show an "outrageous display of arrogance on the part of these criminals, to think that they can just run amok in our city and terrorize our citizens," Police Commission President William Briggs said.
The task force has made several dozen arrests for robbery, weapons crimes and attempted murder along with four arrests on suspicion of murder, Tippet said.

Podcast: The case that ended ‘Mexican-only’ schools
In 1945, five families sued school districts in Orange County to challenge the practice of so-called Mexican schools, which kept Latino students from attending white schools with better resources. The daughter of one of the plaintiffs, Sylvia Mendez, has spent her retirement telling the story of the landmark desegregation case, which was decided 75 years ago on April 14, 1947.
But she goes from school to school talking about the importance of this case at a time when Latino students are, in many ways, more segregated than ever.

South Korea remains negative about providing Ukraine with lethal weapons, but the defense ministry has decided to send more non-lethal military supplies to the country following a virtual address by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to a military official on Wednesday, the ministry is making preparations to send to the war-stricken country bulletproof vests, helmets, rations and medical supplies worth two billion won.
The official said the new batch of supplies is worth double the batch that South Korea sent to Ukraine last month, adding that this delivery comprises materials that Ukraine urgently requested.
The ministry plans to send the latest supplies via regular flight services bound for Europe from next week and is said to be consulting with Ukraine on specific dates.
Earlier on Monday, President Zelenskyy requested South Korea to provide his country with weapons during a virtual speech before parliament.
A foreign ministry official said on Tuesday that Seoul isn't reviewing supplying weapons to Ukraine at this stage.

Ghost guns: Biden, DOJ announce new rule on weapons
President Joe Biden and the Department of Justice announced Monday a new rule to regulate “ghost guns.”
Biden also announced that he will nominate Steve Dettelbach to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
What are ghost guns and what does Biden intend to do about them? Here is what we know.
What are ghost guns?
Ghost guns are firearms that often come in a kit that can be bought online or at gun shows and assembled at home. The assembled guns do not carry a serial number and are untraceable.
The kit generally contains all the parts of the gun and usually the equipment necessary to build the weapon.
There are no federal restrictions on who can buy ghost gun kits nor how many kits they can purchase.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 required that firearms be marked with serial numbers on the frames or receivers so they can be traceable. However, the law didn’t require the other parts of the gun to have serial numbers.
Do you need to have a background check to get the gun kit?
Currently, the kits may be purchased without a background check. The new rule would require background checks before such kits could be purchased.
How many ghost guns are in circulation in the US?
Between 2016 to 2020, law enforcement recovered more than 23,000 weapons without serial numbers from potential crime scenes, according to the Justice Department.
Is this the first time the government has taken up the issue of ghost guns?
No, last year the Justice Department proposed a rule that would require a federal background check when customers buy unassembled firearms online.
In addition, the proposed rule would require manufacturers to include a serial number on the firearm frame or receiver.
What have states done about ghost guns?
Ten states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington) and the District of Columbia have enacted laws to at least partially address ghost guns, according to Giffords Law Center.
How does the new rule issued Monday impact ghost guns?
The “Frame or Receiver” Final Rule, modernizes the definition of a firearm and clarifies that parts kits used to build ghost guns are subject to the same regulations as traditional firearms, according to the Department of Justice. The rule requires background checks to be performed on ghost gun kit buyers and for serial numbers to be printed on ghost gun parts. That would allow the federal government to better track them.
Biden declared the rule “basic common sense.” The National Rifle Association said the new regulation would do nothing to stop “violent crime sprees” in U.S. cities.

The announcement comes as part of the Canadian brand's plan to bring Tim Hortons to every major town and city in the UK over the next year - creating more than 2,000 jobs across the country.
It will be the third Tim Hortons in the Black Country after the fast-food chain opened its first site at Wolverhampton's Bentley Bridge Retail Park last year and announced a second is set to open in Oldbury this Spring.
Jonathan Poole, centre manager at Merry Hill said: "We are thrilled to welcome the renowned Canadian brand, Tim Hortons later this year, and we’re already hearing from customers how much they’re looking forward to it.
"The new drive-thru restaurant on the Upper Retail Park will give visitors great convenience; they can either grab on-the-go via the drive-thru, or sit down and relax in the unique Tim Hortons dine-in experience."

Amid her health scare, Angelina Pivarnick is looking forward to "brighter days."
The Jersey Shore star recently revealed that she was admitted to the hospital, sharing a video of herself from within a hospital bed to Instagram. "I'm not doing well at all," she said in an Instagram Story posted April 12. "I need to get better. My health comes before everything else."
In a follow-up post, she explained, "My immune systems [sic] been super low from all the stress I've endured the past couple of months. I wish this pain on no one in this entire world. I hope this too shall pass and I hope brighter days are ahead of me."
Highlighting the possible severity of her situation, Angelina continued, "Stress is definitely a killer. No one lives in my bones and can understand the amount of pain I've endured lately."
But as Angelina put it, she's simply looking forward to her recovery. "There's a light at the end of the tunnel," she added. "Soon enough I will see the light. I'm just waiting to see it. I have been keeping prayers and God closer than ever and I know he's got big plans for me."
In the hours after her videos were posted, fans flooded her recent Instagram posts with well wishes for the 35-year-old reality star.
"I hope you get the care u need to feel better mentally and physically," one follower wrote, adding, "Feel better and rest and prayers and positive vibes for you girl." Another commented, "Glad you're getting the care you need. Stay strong and positive thinking."
Angelina's update about her health comes a little over two months after her estranged husband, Chris Larangeira, filed for divorce after two years of marriage. His filing came after the couple faced breakup rumors for more than a year.
Back in January 2021, Angelina originally decided to file for divorce almost 14 months after their wedding was filmed for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, but the filing was dismissed later that year as the pair tried to work on their relationship.
E! News has reached out to reps for additional updates.

- Achieved quarterly revenue of US$1.1 million (US$1.5 million year-to-date) – proceeds from the RTO related financing closed during Q3, were fully deployed for two months of the quarter.
- Proved the resilience of the Company's all-weather strategy by maintaining balance sheet strength during FQ3, including January 2022, which was one of the most volatile months for cryptocurrencies in recent years.
- Strengthened engineering team and appointed CTO to lead the development of MetaBridge – a proprietary platform that will enable institutional investors to securely deploy capital at scale across a variety of DeFi protocols and applications.
VANCOUVER, BC, April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Liquid Meta Capital Holdings Ltd. ("Liquid Meta" or the "Company") (NEO: LIQD) (FRANKFURT: N5F), a decentralized finance infrastructure and technology company focused on bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized finance, today announced the financial results for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022. All amounts are expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights (Three months ended February 28, 2022)
- Revenue of $1,108,946
- Net loss of $4,539,656
- Net loss of $1,025,050, excluding share-based compensation and listing expenses
- As at February 28, 2022, the Company had total assets of $26,558,562
Management Commentary
Jonathan Wiesblatt, CEO commented, "Since our public launch in December 2021, our team has made important strides toward the achievement of Liquid Meta's core objective – the development of the proprietary terminal platform MetaBridge technology. During the quarter, the Company developed and implemented several important MetaBridge modules, which are currently being used in our daily liquidity mining operations. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we announced the addition of an experienced Chief Technology Officer (CTO), which we expect will accelerate the building of critical applications and development protocols for the commercialization of our platform."
Mr. Wiesblatt continued, "As we continue to build MetaBridge, our team is committed to deploying capital in a prudent manner to maintain balance sheet strength, build shareholder value and ensure the ability to accelerate our core technology roadmap. Liquid Meta has successfully deployed the capital on its balance sheet across a select group of blockchains, DeFi applications (Dapps) and liquidity pools (LPs). Our all-weather liquidity mining strategy has generated consistent daily revenue despite elevated volatility in the crypto market during the fiscal third quarter. I am pleased to report that in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Liquid Meta generated revenue of $1.1 million on its capital base, which was only fully deployed for two months of the quarter. 2022 will be an important year for Liquid Meta as the team continues to build what we believe will be the premier gateway for institutional access to DeFi."
January was one of the most volatile months in recent years across all risky assets including cryptocurrencies and adjacent crypto markets like DeFi. During the month of January, certain crypto assets including the largest crypto tokens BTC and ETH lost ~20% and 30% of their value during the month. A basket of layer 1 tokens that Liquid Meta uses in its staking and liquidity mining operations lost an average of 42% in the month of January. Although global asset values plummeted during January including most crypto tokens, Liquid Meta was able to preserve its balance sheet through an active hedging program, a diversified liquidity mining strategy, and limited exposure to unhedged assets. The overall impact to Liquid Meta's balance sheet was less than 2% of total assets deployed. Furthermore, market conditions normalized in the second half of February and March, with yields on the portfolio rising to pre-January levels.
At its core, Liquid Meta is building a technology-enabled liquidity mining company focused on the next generation of blockchain-based protocols, platforms, and applications. Liquid Meta has assembled a comprehensive engineering team that is building proprietary technology in order to access, automate, and operate across a variety of DeFi protocols and applications at scale, which can then be used to onboard third-party capital, or be licensed as software to institutional investors. Major attributes of Meta Bridge include asset monitoring, performance analysis, reporting & accounting, pre-trade compliance and network security.
One of Liquid Meta's key priorities for 2022 is to advance and commercialize a technology stack specifically developed for institutional investors to access DeFi. During the third quarter, Liquid Meta made substantial progress towards achieving this goal by strengthening the engineering team, and subsequent to quarter end, the Company appointed Daniel Opperman as CTO to oversee the build of development protocols for the commercialization of MetaBridge.
Key Developments – Third Quarter
- On December 22, 2021, Liquid Meta began trading on the NEO exchange under the symbol LIQD
- On December 23, 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Stephen Harper and Tom Kang to the Company's Board of Directors
- On January 10, 2022, the Company announced the appointment of Clara Bullrich to the Company's Board of Directors
- On January 13, 2022, the Company announced a partnership with XLD Finance to provide liquidity to XLD's stablecoin-based ecosystem
- On January 25, 2022, Liquid Meta announced a partnership with Civic Technologies
- Liquid Meta has now deployed over US$20 million dollars across various blockchains, Dapps and LPs
- Incorporated direct node integration to 9 different blockchains on our search engine. These integrations represent the foundations of MetaBridge enabling Liquid Meta to automate our operation and capture DeFi transaction activity. Blockchains include Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Ronin, Solana, Terra and Arbitrum
- Developed proprietary applications that capture transaction activity and financial performance across blockchains, Dapps and LPs
- We have completed the first phase of our comprehensive liquidity mining hedging strategy. Liquid Meta is currently using internally developed software to test and deploy hedging strategies across different tokens and market environments. We continue to deploy more of these technologies across a greater number of liquidity pools (LPs)
Outlook
- Over the next 12-months Liquid Meta will be focused on advancing the development of tools and software products for the commercialization of MetaBridge. and scaling its liquidity mining operation
- Liquid Meta has now deployed greater than $20.0 million of liquidity across DeFi. The additional capital deployed is expected to produce daily revenue that will exceed the run rates produced in the Q3 results
- Will focus on developing partnership opportunities across DeFi
Update on Ronin Network
As previously disclosed, Liquid Meta has provided liquidity to an LP on a decentralized exchange (DEX) that exists on the Ronin Network, and which is interconnected to the bridge that experienced the security breach. The Company is pleased to share that this DEX has now been restored and reopened following an update by Sky Mavis and the Ronin team. LPs such as Liquid Meta are now able to freely and securely enter or exit the DEX.
On April 6, 2022, Sky Mavis announced that it has raised a US$150M funding round to reimburse user funds affected by the Ronin Network breach. Led by crypto exchange Binance, this combined with Sky Mavis and Axie balance sheet funds, should ensure that all users are reimbursed. The Ronin Network bridge will open once it has undergone a security upgrade and several audits, which can take several weeks. In the meantime, Binance is supporting the Ronin Network by providing ETH withdrawals and deposits for Axie Infinity users, allowing most of them to operate freely. Further updates from the Ronin Network can be followed here.
"We are pleased to share that the DEX with approximately $2 million dollars of Liquid Meta's funds has now been fully restored and we are now able to access funds and continue to mine our liquidity position. At Liquid Meta, we remain cognizant of the risks within the digital currency industry and have in place a robust set of criteria we utilize to select Dapps and LPs where we deploy our liquidity. These include a thorough analysis, overview of teams, founders of the exchange, audited Dapps, Total Value Locked (TVL) on platform, liquidity as well as the quality of networks and blockchains, among others," commented Mr. Wiesblatt.
Liquid Meta is focused on the DeFi segment of the digital asset ecosystem through its liquidity mining business. Every time a transaction occurs within the LP, the protocol generates a service fee for the transaction, a portion of which is distributed to liquidity providers in the form of fees for providing a service to the protocol. Additionally, in some cases, liquidity miners can also earn protocol reward tokens by protocols and applications, which are offered as incentives and additional revenue generating opportunities for liquidity miners for interacting and providing liquidity to various protocols.
Financial Statements and MD&A
Liquid Meta's financial Statements for the quarter ended February 28, 2022 and Management's Discussion and Analysis (the "MD&A") for the three and nine-months ended February 28, 2022 are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Liquid Meta is a decentralized finance infrastructure and technology company that is powering the next generation of open-access protocols and applications. The Company is creating the bridge between traditional and decentralized finance while ushering in a new era of financial infrastructure that benefits anyone, anywhere.

Illuccix is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in patients with prostate cancer with:
- suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy;
- suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men after skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 268,000 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed this year with prostate cancer, and nearly 35,000 will die from their disease. Reliable and flexible diagnostic tools are essential for treatment teams in narrowing the gap between understanding the spread of disease and appropriate individualized treatment by healthcare professionals.
Illuccix is now widely available across the United States, significantly improving patient access to PSMA PET imaging. PSMA PET imaging is emerging as a standard of care in the U.S. having been included in latest NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Prostate Cancer.[3]
"Early detection and staging can help guide more informed disease management decisions. Tools such as Illuccix PSMA-PET are incredibly valuable as we look for better ways to manage prostate cancer in men," said Dr. Michael Koch, Professor and Chair of the Department of Urology at the Indiana University School of Medicine and a physician-scientist at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Professor Mark Green, Director of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences and Professor of Radiology & Imaging Sciences at the Indiana University School of Medicine, added "The success of Telix in gaining FDA-approval for kit-formulated 68Ga-PSMA-11 represents an innovation for prostate cancer patients. Telix is providing a much-needed avenue for widespread clinical access to PSMA-targeted PET for improved understanding of the location and extent of a patient's disease. These imaging insights can be important as the physician develops an individualized treatment plan."
Illuccix is now available to order from 117 pharmacies in the Telix network, providing coverage to approximately 85 percent of PET imaging sites across the U.S. with more sites to be added over the coming months.
Dr. Christian Behrenbruch, Group CEO and Managing Director of Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited said, "Telix is delivering on its promise to deliver product and a distribution network that will allow physicians and their patients greater convenience and flexible access to advanced prostate cancer imaging, a significant unmet medical need. Until now, PSMA-PET imaging has had patchy availability and limited patient scheduling flexibility. Illuccix changes this by enabling rapid on-site hospital preparation or convenient delivery from nearby commercial nuclear pharmacies."

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Illuccix®, after radiolabeling with Ga 68, is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer:
- with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy
- with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Risk for Misdiagnosis
Image interpretation errors can occur with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET. A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. The performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide for imaging of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and by site of disease. The performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide for imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by Gleason score. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as non-malignant processes such as Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, and osteophytosis. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation of the suspected prostate cancer site, is recommended.
Radiation Risks
Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide contributes to a patient's overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care workers. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The safety of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide was evaluated in 960 patients, each receiving one dose of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide. The average injected activity was 188.7 ± 40.7 MBq (5.1 ± 1.1 mCi). No serious adverse reactions were attributed to gallium Ga 68 gozetotide. The most commonly reported adverse reactions were nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness, occurring at a rate of < 1%.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Androgen deprivation therapy and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, can result in changes in uptake of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET has not been established.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit MedWatch at www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report adverse reactions to Telix by calling 1-844-455-8638 or emailing [email protected]

The Hartsville Vidette is in the process of running question-and-answer profiles of the Trousdale County educators who have been selected as the teacher of the year in their respective schools.
We begin the profiles with a glance at Mary Raines, who is a library/media specialist at Trousdale County Elementary School …
Name … Mary Raines
School … Trousdale County Elementary School
Age … 43
What grade/subject do you teach?
Elementary library media specialist
How long have you been in education?
Nine years in public education and 16 years in Christian education with my church
How many years have you taught at your current school?
Three years
What other schools have you taught at prior to your current school?
Carroll Oakland School in Wilson County
What is something unique about you — whether it’s a hobby, skill or past accomplishment — that most people likely wouldn’t be aware of?
I love trying to figure out how things work, whether it is new technology or a piece of machinery.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time (hobbies, etc.)?
I know it sounds cliché, but I like to sit down with a great book and escape into other worlds. It allows me to forget about the chaos that is around me and just imagine what it would be like in whatever I am reading. I also like to learn new things about varieties of subjects, especially hands-on learning.
Is there anything unique about your teaching situation that you’d like to detail?
I try to see past behaviors into the reasoning behind them. I try to show grace and compassion in my classroom so that students feel welcome. I try to adapt to fit the students that I am teaching while staying true to the lesson that is being presented.
How would you describe your teaching style?
I would describe my teaching style as a discussional environment. I love when students are able to discuss the information that is being taught. It lets me know that they are processing what is being said and can explain it to their peers.
Could you share a couple of strategies for how you keep students engaged and motivated?
I use brain breaks when needed so that students have the chance to get up and move. I also try to implement visual cues so that students can understand what I am presenting when necessary. It helps them to process what I am saying when they can see what I am referring to.
Have you ever encountered a challenge in teaching that required you to rethink your teaching methods and/or approach?
I once had a student who would get frustrated and growl at everyone when she became overwhelmed. I told her one day that she was only allowed to growl on Wednesdays, and every other day she would have to try to use her words to explain what she was frustrated about. It gave her a day to growl instead of taking that coping strategy away entirely. I try to think outside of the box when it comes to my students, because not everyone copes or handles situations in the same manner.
What is different, unique and/or enjoyable about the school that you are currently teaching at?
I would have to say that the staff and administration is unique. I know that if I present a problem to people, they will work with me to help solve it. I also know that I am supported in the library by the general-education teachers with the activities we do in the library, such as book reports and research projects. It makes a difference when I can collaborate with others to build on what they may be doing in the classroom.
Why did you choose teaching as a career path?
I was working in retail at the time and would pray that God would allow me to walk in whatever calling he had on my life. I felt a passion for teaching and reaching our future generations, and even though I had been out of school for a long time, He opened the door for me to get into teaching. I was able to complete my student teaching in a former co-worker’s classroom, which led to a job offer at the same school.
What is the most fulfilling part of teaching?
It’s building relationships with students and seeing them achieve their goals and dreams.
What is the most challenging part of teaching?
It’s watching struggling students want to give up due to circumstances that are often beyond their control.
How have you seen the profession change over the course of your career, and how do you see it continuing to evolve going forward?
Despite current trends, I think that teachers are going to continue to pour into students and try to do the best they can for them even when the job becomes hard.
Who is somebody who has been especially impactful in your teaching career, and why did he/she make such an impact on you?
I have had so many people make such an impact in my career. I think I learn from all the amazing teachers that I have been blessed to be around and watch. I have had wonderful educators walk beside me while I learn and grow, and I would not want to leave anyone out by starting to name them.
Could you share what has been one of your most memorable moments in teaching?
I think my favorite memory is when I had a student write me a letter telling me about the impact I unknowingly made in their life just because of a small gesture I made. It reminds me that we are not always aware of the impacts that we make on others, whether they are good or bad.
What is the most meaningful thing a student could say to you?
That they did not give up because of something I taught or said to them.
How would you ideally like to be characterized or remembered as a teacher?
I would like to be remembered as someone that the students felt loved by, as someone who made an impact for the good in their lives.

When a recession hits, architects often take it in the gut. The design sector has traditionally been one of the losers of a market downturn, with big real estate developments being put on hold and the need for architectural design services kicked down the road. But during the economic downturn brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, architecture has been surprisingly robust.
Of five different creative industries in California—including entertainment, fashion, and the arts—architecture and its related services was the most resilient. Between 2019 and 2020, the industry saw only a 2.2% decrease in employment, and even that appears to have been a temporary lull.
Nationwide, the industry added 670,000 jobs in 2021, the largest number since before the global financial crisis. From 2019 to April 2021, the number of businesses within the sector even grew, increasing by about 8%. Architecture, often a canary in the coal mine for recessions, seems to be a bellwether of a pandemic recovery.
These numbers come from the 2022 Otis College Report on the Creative Economy. Issued annually by Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, the report tracks the economic health of creative industries in California, focusing specifically on five sectors: architecture; creative goods and products; entertainment and digital media; fashion; and fine arts and performing arts. These industries add up to nearly 12% of the state’s gross domestic product, with a heavy concentration of jobs and economic activity in the greater Los Angeles area. Architecture and related fields like landscape architecture, civil and building engineering, drafting, and interior design represent a nearly $30 billion industry in California.
This year’s rosy picture of the architecture sector has a few key causes, according to economist Adam Fowler, a partner at CVL Economics, which authored the report.
Mainly, there’s just a lot of demand for architectural design in cities across California and around the country.
“There’s such a backlog in supply of both commercial and residential space in a lot of our larger metro areas that have had robust job growth for so long,” Fowler says, noting that demand is especially high for affordable housing and smaller projects like accessory dwelling units. “We are so behind . . . with the price points now for residential in California, I’m constantly asked if it’s a new bubble. No, it’s not. Tragically no. This is just actual demand.”
The industry’s resilience has been evident around the country during the pandemic, which led many homeowners and businesses to think differently about their indoor and outdoor real estate. Architects and designers have stepped in to assist.
“There was a lot of spending on space. People who were running a school, running an office, doing a lot of work out of their primary residence, there was a lot of investment in making those spaces more workable, more livable,” Fowler says. “It may not be the new concert hall opening, but it was work, especially in the landscape architecture space, that may have filled in some gaps.”
New York state, the other main center of architectural employment in the U.S., was hit harder during the pandemic, with architecture and related fields seeing a 7.1% decline in employment in New York City. But those numbers reflect a California-like temporary dip in an otherwise upward trend. Architecture-related jobs overall have been rising there as well. Between 2007 and 2020, they rose 5.9% across the state and 11.4% in New York City.
Of course, architects in California and New York aren’t doing projects only in those places. Fowler says the uptick in architectural work around the country could lead to continued growth for the industry, especially as more places reckon with the backlog of development and the need for more affordable housing. “This sector,” he says, “is helped by localities that can build things.”

At least five dead in South Africa floods, mudslides
PAY ATTENTION: Follow Briefly News on Twitter and never miss the hottest topics! Find us at @brieflyza!
At least five people have been killed in floods and mudslides across the South African port city of Durban following heavy rain, authorities said on Tuesday.
Days of pounding rain have flooded several areas and shut dozens of roads across the southeastern city, while landslips have caused train services across KwaZulu-Natal province to be suspended.
"Five deaths have been reported so far (but) we are still busy gathering information from the emergency services," Lungi Mtshali, spokesman for the Department of Cooperative Governance, a national ministry, told AFP.
Local media are reporting between 11 and 20 people dead, although the figures have not yet been confirmed, and one first responder said he expected the official toll to rise.

Video footage shared by private emergency and rescue workers and paramedics showed flooded city highways, submerged cars and collapsed houses.
The disaster management department in KwaZulu-Natal, of which Durban is the largest city, urged people to stay at home and ordered those residing in low-lying areas to move to higher ground.
Rescue operations are underway to evacuate people in areas that have "experienced mudslides, flooding and structural collapses of buildings and roads," the department said.
Durban mayor Mxolisi Kaunda told reporters that power stations had been flooded and water supplies disrupted -- and that even graveyards had not been spared the devastation.
One picture posted on Twitter by an anti-theft vehicle-tracking agency showed what looked like a human skull that had been washed to the surface of a cemetery.
Footage on public broadcaster showed several shipping containers strewn on a freeway in the city, one of southern Africa's regional gateways to the sea.
A local humanitarian agency, Gift of the Givers, said in a statement: "The need of the hour is huge."
It said transport infrastructure had suffered massive damage and some people were trapped beneath collapsed walls.
The country's rail service PRASA said landslips and rubble on the tracks had forced it to suspend all train services in the province.
"It's an absolute nightmare. Plenty of mudslides, people passing (dying), buildings collapsed," Garrith Jamieson, director of Durban-based ALS Paramedics Medical Services, told AFP as he predicted "more fatalities."

A look at what’s happening in European soccer on Wednesday:. ATLÉTICO MADRID vs. MANCHESTER CITY (0-1) City is looking to reach the semifinals for the second straight season and has a narrow lead after a first leg that saw Atlético adopt ultra-cautious tactics. City manager Pep Guardiola knows the return match will be different. “They are going to be more intense at the other end of the field and we'll have to adapt to how they play,” Guardiola said. For City, the game comes between two meetings with its biggest current rival, Liverpool — a Premier League game on Sunday that finished 2-2 and an FA Cup semifinal match at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. As a result, it's a juggling act for Guardiola in terms of which players to pick, though he does have right back Kyle Walker available again following a three-match European ban. Atlético needs to end a six-game winless streak at home in the Champions League to have a chance of advancing to the semifinals for the first time since 2017. It will likely be without defender José María Giménez because of a muscle injury, and midfielder Héctor Herrera also is expected to miss the match injured. Yannick Carrasco returns after a suspension. The Wanda Metropolitano Stadium won’t be at full capacity after UEFA charged the club with “discriminatory behavior” and ordered a 5,000-seat section of the stadium to be closed after an Atlético fan was filmed making a Nazi salute in the first leg in Manchester.

Sports News of Thursday, 14 April 2022

Ebusua Dwarfs head coach, Kukuu Dadzie, has alleged that FC Samartex has been influencing and manipulating games in Zone 2 of the Division One League.
According to him, Samatex is in pole position to qualify out of the Zone to the Premier League.
He stated that the team is well-financed and has been manipulating matches involving other teams to ensure they qualify.
Speaking in an interview on Wamputu Sports on Happy 98.9FM with Odiasempa Kwame Oware, he said: “I don’t want to spill all the secrets but it seems the referees make a lot of mistakes which are very intentional. The mistakes do favor one team which is Samatex.
“We have evidence to back these claims. The referees are helping Samatex to qualify from our Zone to the Premier League. We played against Samatex, we scored them first before they were awarded a dubious penalty to equalise.
“Even in our matches they even influence referees against us. We are trying to catch up with them but we will do our best”
“They are using Timber money to influence matches in our zones”, he added.
Dwarfs and Samatex are in Zone Two of the National Division One League.
Samatex is currently on top of the table with 50 points while Ebusua Dwarfs is placed second with 40 points.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Have you noticed your phone ringing off the hook? A new report finds the highest scam call volumes the week before and the week after the tax filing deadline.
North Little Rock-based First Orion projects scammers will make nearly 2.2 billion calls during the week of April 11. Scam call volume is expected to increase the week of April 25.
First Orion has historically worked to stop scammers from calling people, and getting their money and identity. According to the company, scammers could use tax season calls to extract more than $1.76 billion from U.S. mobile subscribers.
Kent Welch, chief data officer for First Orion, said the crooks are trying to capitalize on the fears and confusion that come with filing taxes.
"A lot of people are concerned that they're going to get audited or they did something wrong, and the scammers take advantage of that," Welch said. "They prey on people that are concerned about that. And then if they get you on the phone, they further pressure you to do something really fast."
In a 2022 survey of U.S. mobile subscribers, nearly 2 in 5 people said they are afraid of the IRS, and more than 7 in 10 say they would trust the IRS to be correct if they audited their return and found an issue.
How can you protect yourself?
"The first thing I say is 'if you get a call from a number that you don't know, don't answer,"' Welch said.
If it's important, the caller will leave a message. However, Welch said you have to watch out for those too.
"There's a lot of scams out there that they purposely try to leave a message and get you to call a number back," he said.
Welch suggests downloading a call protection app that can help flag some of the fraudulent calls. But what happens if one of those calls gets through?
"Don't give away personal information or your credit card information over the phone," he said. "If you feel like you're being pressured to do something in a quick manner, that's a pretty good sign that this probably not legit "
According to the IRS, its employees might call taxpayers to set up appointments or discuss audits but not without first attempting to notify them by mail. The IRS will never ask for debit or credit card numbers over the phone.

RISON, Ark. (AP) — A 20-year-old Arkansas woman was killed when a tree fell on her home as severe storms swept through the state and a possible tornado ripped roofs off homes in Alabama, officials said.
The woman’s death occurred Wednesday as part of a multiday severe weather outbreak that caused tornadoes, powerful winds and huge hail in parts of the central and southern United States.
A possible tornado tore roofs off homes in a public housing community and peppered cars with debris Wednesday night in rural Greene County, Alabama, located about 90 miles (145 kilometers) southwest of Birmingham. Billy Hicks, who lives in the area, told WBMA-TV he was lying down when he heard a rush of wind that lasted only a few seconds.
“I jumped up and put my clothes on, put my shoes on when everything was over with. I come to the side door and looked across the street. I knew that something had hit all these houses,” said Hicks, who got in his car to go check on neighbors.
Authorities swarmed the area but didn’t find anyone who was hurt, said Zac Bolding of Greene County Emergency Medical Services.
“Most of the people we talked to as we were doing a house-to-house search explained that they were in their bathroom or an interior hallway, so they were listening to those warnings and without that I think we would have been looking at a much different situation,” he said.
In Arkansas, the woman was died when a tree toppled on her home in Rison shortly after 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, pinning her to the couch, said Stephen McClellan, Cleveland County’s emergency management coordinator. Rison is about 55 miles (90 kilometers) south of Little Rock.
A day earlier, 23 people were injured in the central Texas town of Salado. The National Weather Service in Fort Worth said Wednesday that the twister was rated an EF3 with peak wind speeds of 165 mph (265 kph).
Tornadoes were also reported Tuesday in parts of Iowa and Minnesota. And a blizzard struck North Dakota this week, closing the state Capitol, schools, government offices and interstates.

BREITBART:
Weird that the media didn’t cite Ketanji Brown Jackson’s height and weight as her most important characteristics. When it came to THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN ON THE SUPREME COURT, it was all about her race. But after a guy shot up a New York City subway car this week, the last thing the media wanted to tell us was his race.
For more than three hours after the attack, we got urgent alerts: Suspect at large! Police request public’s help! Be on the alert for a male, about 5’8″, 160 lbs.”
In this particular case, the media’s rule of never telling us the suspect’s race (unless he’s white) was more deranged than usual. This wasn’t a carjacking. It wasn’t a shooting at a block party. It wasn’t an attack on an Asian or Jew. This crime had all the earmarks of a terror attack — smoke bombs, fireworks, a gas mask, and about a dozen people shot while trapped in a subway car.
The police desperately needed the public’s help, but most people were looking for a Middle Easterner.
At least we knew it wasn’t a white guy! If it had been, reporters would have worn out the “W” on their computer keyboards. There would have been rampant speculation that it was a Proud Boy, as top administration officials reminded us that “white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS, not al-Qaida — white supremacists.” (President Joe Biden June 2, 2021)

WASHINGTON (AP) — With his sweeping domestic agenda on hold and images of horror in Ukraine dominating headlines, President Joe Biden is scrounging for ways to demonstrate that he’s still making progress for Americans at a time when many feel the country is heading in the wrong direction.
Six months out from the midterm elections, Biden’s team is betting that smaller, discrete announcements can break through to voters better than talk of transformational plans that are so far only aspirational. And as the global focus is on Ukraine, the White House is eager for Americans to see Biden tackling the kitchen table issues important to them –- none more so than the searing inflation exacerbated by the Russian invasion.
Last week, that meant aides positioned big rigs outside the White House so Biden could talk about efforts to get more truck drivers on the road. A day later, he welcomed back former President Barack Obama for the signing of an executive order updating the Affordable Care Act. And after that, he signed bipartisan legislation intended to safeguard the U.S. Postal Service’s financial future.
This week, he’s notching his heaviest domestic travel in months. On Thursday, he is to visit Greensboro, North Carolina, to highlight his plans to boost domestic supply chains and high-tech workforces. It comes after a Tuesday stop in Iowa to announce that his administration was granting a waiver to allow more ethanol in gasoline year-round, a move that officials estimated would shave 10 cents per gallon off gasoline prices — but at just 2,300 gas stations out of the nation’s more than 100,000.
The White House says the public focus on the war in Ukraine is “understandable” and it’s realistic about the challenges facing Biden in breaking through.
“While the world needs to understand and see how he is leading on the war, the country needs to see how he is continuing to lead on the economy,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday. “Being able to continue to speak to our domestic audience about that is a huge priority. And his schedule tells the story of how much of a priority it is.”
All of the policies Biden is touting will have direct impact on American lives — but they also fall far short of the goals that Biden set for himself when taking office. Taken together, they show how the White House is trying to regain momentum at a time when Biden is under pressure to recalibrate his ambitions.
“I think it makes good strategic sense that, if you’re going to be stymied by Congress, you take matters into your own hands,” said Eric Schultz, a communications official in the Obama White House.
It’s a dynamic that Obama himself confronted, particularly in his second term in office, when he used his executive authority to push forward his agenda as much as possible.
“It’s not a coincidence that this strategy emerged when Republicans threw up their hands and decided they didn’t want to be governing partners,” Schultz said.
Schultz said Democrats need to demonstrate they’re making progress even if they’re not passing the sweeping legislation they promised.
“Did we accomplish everything we wanted to? No,” he said. “But did we roll up our sleeves every day and push the needle forward? Yes.”
While there have been successes, notably the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, much of Biden’s agenda remains stalemated — or worse.
Lawmakers are struggling to hash out a bipartisan compromise on legislation that’s intended to help the U.S. compete economically with China. Biden’s sweeping Build Back Better legislation is dead in the water, waiting for Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin to decide what, if anything, he’ll support. Immigration reform, gun control legislation and voting reform have fallen out of the national conversation.
That’s left Biden touting the benefits of infrastructure legislation that passed last year — old bridges slated for replacement are a staple of his domestic travels — and looking for other, small policies that can be advanced.
Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said smaller initiatives are only going to help if they “lay the groundwork for passing much bigger policies.”
“Singles are fine if they’re a prelude to a grand slam,” he said, adding that Democrats face “a motivation challenge” ahead of the midterms. “Democrats are not going to get people to the polls with a lot of singles.”
William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said Biden is trying to make the most of a difficult situation.
“He’s doing what he can now that some of his grander plans have been sidetracked,” he said.
Galston recalled a similar strategy when he worked on domestic policy for President Bill Clinton. Before the midterms in 1994, the White House worked on “running up the score” with policy proposals that were less controversial.
“It was just what happened when the White House conceded defeat on its central agenda item,” which was health care reform for Clinton.
“Those smaller victories made absolutely no difference in the midterms. The fact that they were below the radar screen was good news for passing legislation, but bad news for their political effectiveness,” he said. For Biden, “that’s likely to be the case this time, too.”

UK announces plan to process some asylum seekers in Rwanda
CommentsThe UK is planning to send some asylum seekers to be processed in Rwanda, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced at a press conference in Kent on Thursday.
"Anyone entering the UK illegally as well as those who have arrived illegally since January 1 may now be relocated to Rwanda," Johnson announced.
He said the government needed to "be able to control who comes into this country and the terms on which they remain."
Watch the prime minister's press conference below.
Rwanda will have the capacity to resettle "tens of thousands of people" in the years ahead, Johnson added.
"If they come across the Channel illegally in these vessels, then they risk...ending up not in the UK but in Rwanda and that is something that I believe will over time prove a very considerable deterrent," he added later in response to a question.
He argued that the UK was attempting to stop people smugglers from crossing with migrants over the channel and said the partnership with Rwanda was "one of several steps" they were taking to beat the problem.
The prime minister announced that there would be £50 million (€60.1 million) in funding for new boats, aerial surveillance and military personnel to make sure "no boat makes it to the UK undetected".
He said it would send a clear message to "those piloting the boats" that they risk spending the rest of their lives in prison.
People arriving in small boats to the UK will be housed in "accommodation centres like those in Greece with the first of these to open shortly". Johnson added.
Earlier, Welsh secretary Simon Hart told Sky News the plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda would be mostly for "male economic migrants".
Rwanda's foreign affairs minister confirmed that the government had signed a multi-million euro agreement with the UK to welcome migrants, according to AFP.
UK plan draws criticism
Steve Valdez-Symonds, Amnesty International UK’s Refugee and Migrant Rights Director, said the plan to send people to another country for asylum processing was "the very height of irresponsibility and shows how far removed from humanity and reality the Government now is on asylum issues".
"But this shockingly ill-conceived idea will go far further in inflicting suffering while wasting huge amounts of public money," he added.
Shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell said the government's plan was "unworkable, it's incredibly expensive and it's unethical".
Johnson has sought to tackle illegal immigration as migrant crossings increase.
The UK government said there were 28,526 migrants who arrived in small boats in 2021 compared to 8,466 in 2020, 1,843 in 2019 and 299 in 2018.
Johnson said on Thursday that the numbers would "no doubt" be much higher in 2022. He said that seven in 10 of those arriving were men under 40 "jumping the queue" to reach the United Kingdom.

I was shaken by Will Smith’s Oscars slap – he’s a spoilt narcissistic millionaire with too much power says Jason Manford
COMIC Jason Manford has admitted he was left "shaken" by Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.
The 40-year-old has today been announced he'll present the UK's biggest street party by The National Lottery after a string of successful hosting stints.
It follows his stint on stage presenting the Laurence Olivier Awards on Sunday where he made a gag saying he'll "avoid jokes about people's wives".
And in exclusive interview with The Sun, dad-of-six Jason has given his thoughts on the outrageous moment that held a spotlight on modern-day comedy.
"I still can't believe it happened," says Jason, as tickets go on sale for The National Lottery's Big Jubilee Party.
"I was shaken a little bit as well. Maybe because I'm a comic and the idea that someone can just come up and slap you in the face then sit back down and enjoy the rest of the show, get his award and a standing ovation then go to the after show and have a great time... it's like hang on a bloody minute.
"That's pretty impressive - the power of somebody to be able to do that.
"I think it was a horrendous thing to do."
Actor Will - who won an Oscar for his role in King Richard - has since been banned by the Academy for ten years.
He took offence to Chris Rock making a joke about his wife Jada's hair - despite her having alopecia.
Most read in Showbiz
But Jason doesn't believe Chris knew about her condition.
"It wasn't a great joke but I don't think there was any malice in it," said Jason.
"I've done it myself. You do a joke about someone and think 'why aren't they laughing' and then you look down and see they haven't got any hands or something.
"A spoiled, narcissistic millionaire, slaps another slightly spoiled, narcissistic millionaire in the face for a joke in front of a room full of other narcissistic millionaires. That's essentially what happened.
"I'd rather read about Ukraine on the front pages instead of that.
"Fundamentally it comes down to two men. I don't think anyone is thinking 'oh we can slap comics now'. But I will very much be keeping everyone's wives' names out of my mouth."
Despite his reaction to Chris Rock's assault, Jason believes he'll be safe from ever suffering the same fate.
"I've always been quite a safe pair of hands," he says.
"I know where the line is and if anything I make myself the butt of most jokes. I'm quite self-deprecating.
"I would be mortified if somebody left my show offended.
"I'd really feel aggrieved by that, but it's kind of what society has pushed us into.
"At the same time, I don't necessarily pander to people who are offended by things. I think 'grow up'.
"There are bigger things going on in the world. I'm sure the people in Ukraine would wish being offended is the only problem they've got."
On May 12, Jason will be on stage at Manchester’s AO Arena to host an entertainment extravaganza in honour of the Queen's jubilee.
He said: “I’m very excited to be in my hometown hosting The National Lottery’s Big Jubilee Street Party in celebration of The Queen.
"I’ll be making sure the night will be full of energy, glitz, and glamour. The audience is in for a treat – the show is going to be simply fantastic.
"It will be a wonderful celebration of our monarch’s extraordinary reign - and having something to celebrate is exactly what people need right now.
"I know everyone says she's got so much privilege and loads of money but just because you have that doesn't mean you can't have tough times and problems too. She's been through a lot lately.
"She's been in this role for so long. Even the most hardened of anti-Royals can't say she hasn't put an absolute shift in for seven decades."
Jason will host alongside X Factor star Fleur East, with performances from Tom Grennan, Calum Scott, Becky Hill, Ella Henderson & Nathan Dawe, to celebrate the momentous occasion.
It will be aired on ITV and ITV Hub over the Jubilee weekend.
- 10,000 tickets will be available FREE on a first-come, first-served basis. For further details and to purchase a ticket, National Lottery players should click here.

Telly favourite looks unrecognisable as he dresses up in VERY tight Elvis costume
ONE of TV's favourite faces looked unrecognisable as he dressed up in a VERY tight Elvis costume.
Leaving little to the imagination, Jamie Redknapp's figure-hugging jumpsuit quickly got the attention of his fans.
The 48-year-old star channelled the King of Rock and Roll for the new series of A League Of Their Own Road Trip.
Jamie sported a white jewel encrusted outfit, which featured a pair of flared trousers and very low-cut top that exposed his chest.
Transforming himself into the Jailhouse Rock singer, Jamie completed the look with a pair of gold boots, a pair of sunglasses and Elvis' signature black quiff.
Cricket star and fellow co-host Freddie Flintoff, 44, looked equally impressive as he wore an all leather co-ord and a red scarf tied around the neck and a pair of shades.
Jamie posted the snap on social media, writing: "Channeling our inner Elvis with some help from the best in the business @deanzofficial .
"What a night . Check it out Thursday 9 pm @sky_uk."
One wrote: "Funniest episode ever! Jamie you are a star for wearing that jumpsuit! Hilarious 😂😂😂."
Another posted: "Haha ain't nothing but a hound dog."

A third cheekily added: "You’re either packing some heat there or you’ve got a hernia lad😅."
The pair started off in Ireland and worked their way to the white cliffs of Dover over four episodes.
They swapped their own car a hot pink Mustang to transform into the All Shook Up singer.
It comes after the footie star paid tribute to mum Sandra and wife Frida with a sweet photograph of them with his baby son Raphael.
Frida placed her arm around Sandra as they sat in a swanky restaurant. Young Raphael was sandwiched in between then in a grey tracksuit.
Jamie wrote: "Happy international women’s day to all the amazing women out there who inspire and lead every day you make the world a kinder and better place .
"And especially to these two ladies in my life , I love you [heart emoji] oh and I love you too Raphael!!"
Frida replied: "Thank you my Söt."
The former England footballer most notably played for Liverpool from 1991 to 2002 before joining Tottenham from 2002 until 2005.
And now it seems he is starting baby Raphael early on his football career as the tot kicked at the ball.
In the Instagram post, the pair spent quality time together in Raphael's nursery.
Meanwhile, Frida appeared equally impressed with the little one's athletic prowess as she shared a similar clip to her Instagram story.
She wrote: "Look Daddy, I got skills".
Jamie and his new wife Frida welcomed Raphael in November, just five weeks after they tied the knot.
Posting an adorable snap of him and the baby on Instagram at the time, Jamie wrote: "Meet Raphael Anders Redknapp, we’re so in love, mum is doing so well too.
"We can’t thank the amazing doctors and nurses at the Chelsea and Westminster enough. So excited for him to meet my boys."

The BJP on Thursday accused the Congress of belittling B R Ambedkar and limiting his identity to just a Dalit leader. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government recognised Ambedkar's role in shaping modern India, and restored to him the credit of being a founding father of the independent nation, it said.
On the occasion of Ambdekar's birth anniversary, the ruling BJP said the architect of the Constitution was given the country's highest honour Bharat Ratna by a government which had support of the BJP in 1989.
It said a life-size portrait of Ambedkar was placed in the central hall of the parliament due to the efforts of the party's veteran leaders A B Vajpayee and L K Advani.
Addressing a press conference as part of the 'Samajik Nyay Pakhwada', being observed by the BJP to mark its 42nd foundation day, BJP general secretary Dushyant Gautam and Union Minister Virendra Kumar cited various initiatives taken by Modi government acknowledging the contribution of Ambedkar.
Gautam said, "Every effort was made by the Congress government to ignore and belittle the contribution of Bhim Rao Ambedkar. Congress governments always tried to restrict him in a limited circle by calling him a Dalit leader."
"His contributions were truly acknowledged by the BJP government and Panch-tirths (five holy places) associated with Baba Saheb were developed by the government.
"These places are the centres of inspiration for social justice and unwavering national loyalty," he said.

Savic told he’s in ‘wrong sport’ if he can’t handle name calling as Wright-Phillips reflects on Atletico Madrid vs Man City brawl
Stefan Savic, who sparked an unsightly brawl towards the end of Atletico Madrid’s Champions League quarter-final tie with Manchester City that carried over into the tunnel, has been warned by former Blues star Shaun Wright-Phillips that he is in “the wrong sport” if he cannot handle a bit of name calling.
Tempers boiled over late on during another feisty continental clash between Premier League and La Liga heavyweights, with Felipe being shown a red card before Savic appeared to push his head into that of Raheem Sterling after initially trying to remove an injured Phil Foden from the field.
The ex-City defender did not stop there as he went on to pull the hair of Jack Grealish, who hit back with a volley of expletives, and Wright-Phillips says the Spanish title holders let themselves down in a show of emotion which left them looking like “sore losers”.
Editors' Picks
- Benfica done, now for Manchester City: Firmino leads the way as Klopp's Liverpool super squad continues to deliver
- If Rangnick didn't pick Ten Hag, then what actually is his Man Utd advisory role?
- Man City survive brutal Champions League battle with Atletico Madrid - but at what cost?
- Can virtual reality help tackle football’s heading-related dementia crisis?
Did Atletico Madrid take things too far against Man City?
Quizzed by GOAL on the chaotic scenes which marred a 1-0 aggregate victory for City that has carried them into the semi-finals of elite European competition, Wright-Phillips – who was speaking in association with Lord Ping – said: “Those sorts of games will always be feisty, but there is a way to handle it.
“Jack handled it perfectly for me, just called him a name. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. If it wound Savic up, then it’s more fool him. He should know that old saying ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me’.
“If he can’t live with that then realistically he is in the wrong sport. You get that at every away stadium you go to, that abuse. It’s just football, it’s part and parcel of it.”
Did Man City come out of the game with credit?
While certain members of Pep Guardiola’s squad found themselves caught up in a post-game melee, with police officers seeking to intervene at one stage, the Blues were able to keep their cool and leave Wanda Metropolitano with their dignity intact.
Wright-Phillips added: “It’s an emotional game. Once you are emotionally invested in it, sometimes you do lose your way. But I thought that City handled themselves well and correctly.
“I saw a comment from Koke on the ‘gamesmanship’ – there was no gamesmanship, he [Felipe] has clearly kicked him [Foden] and if he looks back at the replay he will clearly see what happened. And it’s from a player that should have been sent off in the first 30 minutes, but got away with it.
“I don’t think the ref handled the game particularly well and he could have put a lot of fires out before they started.
“I think they kept their cool and their professionalism. That was bad form from Atletico Madrid, they just looked like sore losers.
“In the game at the Etihad they did the same thing, started kicking people. We have gone to their place and kept a clean sheet, no matter how much they threw at us. They did have stages in that game, which was to be expected, but City professionally batted them away and did what they had to do.
“To see that at the end of the game, it kind of spoiled what City had achieved because it’s what everyone keep talking about – that whole crazy scene.”
With City having moved a step closer to Champions League glory in Madrid, their attention can now be shifted back to domestic matters.
After playing out a 2-2 draw with fellow title hopefuls Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend, an immediate reunion with the Reds will be taken in on Saturday when two ambitious outfits lock horns in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.

NBA star Karl Anthony Towns may be losing on the court, but who cares about fouling out when you get to kiss Jordyn Woods after the game. Despite a less than stellar performance at last night’s Timberwolves vs Clippers game, KAT and Jordyn Woods were trending for their PDA and Jordyn’s courtside style, which she showed off on social media before tip-off.
Jordyn looked fly in a bedazzled Timberwolves jersey and matching blue velvet Pantaboots that hugged every curve.
Woods began trending shortly during the game with fans praising her looks as she sat courtside.
Jordyn and KAT are one of the hottest young couples on the scene. The two got together during the pandemic in 2020 and have been, seemingly, inseparable since. Towns credits Jordyn with helping him deal with the death of eight relatives due to COVID, including his mother.
“I leaned on her because she’s one of the only people who actually know how I was feeling and what I was going through because she was super close with her father just like I was super close with my mother,” Towns told Taraji P. Henson on an episode of “Peace Of Mind With Taraji.” “A woman that meant so much to me in my life left my life to be replaced by another woman to take that spot,” he added.
Jordyn shares the same amount of love for her baller boo. She told PageSix, “If we’re being fully transparent, he and I have been friends for a few years now, and we were just really close friends.” She added, “We would talk all the time about life, about everything, and then after his mother passed, it brought us a lot closer because I had gone through the loss of a parent as well, and so being that crutch for each other, I guess, led to something more, and it’s like being with your best friend.”

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the Invesco S&P 500 Revenue ETF (Symbol: RWL), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $91.95 per unit.
With RWL trading at a recent price near $80.91 per unit, that means that analysts see 13.64% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of RWL's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are VF Corp. (Symbol: VFC), Bio-Techne Corp (Symbol: TECH), and PVH Corp (Symbol: PVH). Although VFC has traded at a recent price of $55.94/share, the average analyst target is 34.76% higher at $75.38/share. Similarly, TECH has 34.72% upside from the recent share price of $419.40 if the average analyst target price of $565.00/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting PVH to reach a target price of $108.47/share, which is 34.41% above the recent price of $80.70. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of VFC, TECH, and PVH:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.
The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.

Kundali Bhagya, 14th April 2022, Written Update: Karan receives a good news
In today’s episode, Natasha tells Sherlyn that she should stop trying to end Preeta and Karan's relationship as they are like magnets. Sherlyn tells her every relationship has its weakness and that they need to wait for the right time and promises to break their relationship. Natasha tells her that she gave the bhang to Karan but Preeta was the one who went inside the room.

Karan bumps into the door and Preeta gets worried and presses a warm cloth to his forehead. Sameer wakes up and tells them his head is hurting a lot. He asks Karan if he did anything wrong. Karan tells him he did nothing and that he should come down before 11 am. Sameer agrees and lies down. The inspector tells Prithvi not to do anything like that again. Prithvi asks them why they are always talking about Karan as because he's famous doesn't mean that he hasn't done anything bad.

Soddies Seven-Run Fourth Inning Not Enough in Offensive Slugfest
April 14, 2022 - Texas League (TL) - Amarillo Sod Poodles News Release
Amarillo, Texas - A combined 24-run night in Tulsa went in the favor of the home team as the Sod Poodles dropped game two of their opening road trip of 2022. A seven-run fourth inning was not enough for Amarillo, dropping Wednesday's ballgame 13-11 to the Drillers from OneOK field on a chilly 57-degree night.
The second game of the opening road trip of the year felt eerily similar to Sunday's series finale against Midland at HODGETOWN. A back-and-forth affair with a lot of offense for each side. Tulsa jumped out to a 5-run lead after two innings of play. A scoreless third inning sent the Soddies to work offensively in the top of the fourth frame.
Eduardo Diaz started the big inning with a leadoff double. An error helped score Diaz ahead of a fielder's choice that didn't result in an out. Dominic Fletcher avoided a tag at second base while Leandro Cedeño hustled down the line to beat the throw. Each baserunner scored when Ti'Quan Forbes gapped a bases-clearing triple to left-center field. A single and walk placed another two runners aboard for Corbin Carroll. The No. 2 rated organizational product and 19th rated prospect in baseball capped the seven-run fourth inning with his second homer of the year.
The Drillers used a six-run bottom of the fifth including a grand slam from Michael Busch to re-take the lead.
Trailing 13-8, a bases-loaded double off the bat of Fletcher drew Amarillo back within two runs, the closest the team would get to the Tulsa lead. Fletcher stepped into the batter's box in the top of the eighth inning - this time as the potential go-ahead run. The inning ended on a sharply hit ground ball up the middle and a rangey play from Busch at second base and an easy flip to second for the force out.
A leadoff single by Leandro Cedeño started the top of the ninth trailing by two still. Wednesday's game ended on a double play with Tulsa taking game two of the series from OneOK Field.
The series will continue tomorrow with the Amarillo starting rotation turning over for the first time in 2022. Right-hander and D-backs' No. 6 prospect, Drey Jameson gets the ball for the second time this year. His season-debut came on Opening Night last Friday at HODGETOWN, going 1.2 P and six hits allowed with three punchouts. First pitch from Tulsa is scheduled for 7:05 PM and can be watched through MiLB.TV or listened to on the Sod Poodles Radio Network and News Talk 940 AM.
Notes:
Touchdown: The Sod Poodles put up seven runs in the fourth inning, their most runs in any single inning this season so far. The last inning of at least seven runs came September 11, 2021 vs. Tulsa at HODGETOWN. The Soddies used a seven run inning that night (3rd inning) en route to a franchise-high 20 runs in the game. The team now has six total innings scoring at least seven runs dating back to 2019. The 13 runs scored by the Drillers were a single-game high in 2022 along with their 15 hits.
Fletch Can Be A Thing: Through the first two games of the series, outfielder and D-backs No. 19 rated prospect Dominic Fletcher is hitting .444 (4-for-9) with six RBI including a season-high four RBI tonight. The 4-RBI night is the best of any Sod Poodle this year and tied the most RBI in a single game in his professional career. The former Arkansas Razorback drove home four in a game on June 8, 2021 against Corpus Christi.
Baskin In The Moment: No. 2 rated organizational product and No. 19 in all of baseball, Corbin Carroll, notched his second homer of the year on Wednesday night. Carroll capped the Soddies seven-run fourth with a no-doubter to straightaway right field off Drillers' Melvin Jimenez. In his last 44 at-bats dating back to his injury-shortened 2021 campaign, Carroll now has four homers in his last 44 at-bats - good for a homer every 11th at-bat currently.
Forbes On Fire: Ti'Quan Forbes continued his great start as a Sod Poodle and member of the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. With a triple on Wednesday, Forbes is 4-for-13 with a home run, triple, and five RBI in three games played since joining the team on Sunday. The triple was the first of the year for any Sod Poodle player and his first triple since Sept. 17, 2021 when he was a member of Triple-A Charlotte. He now has 22 triples in his career.
Double Trouble: Sod Poodles opponents have had three 10+ run games along with two 15+ hit games. Amarillo has 10+ hits in all but one of their games this year and have now scored 10+ runs twice - and dropped both contests.
All-Time Capsule: Along with knotting the series at one a side this year, the all-time record against Tulsa in the regular season currently sits at 14-14. The Sod Poodles went 8-4 against the Dodgers' Double-A affiliate in '21 and were 5-9 in '19. The 3-2 series win in the 2019 Texas League Championship Series makes Amarillo +1 in the overall win column against the Drillers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Americans kept spending in March even amid higher prices for food, gasoline and other basics, worsened by Russia's escalating war with Ukraine.
Retail sales increased 0.5% after registering a revised O.8% jump from January to February. Spending has been fueled by wage gains, solid hiring and more money in banking accounts. January’s increase of 4.9% was the biggest jump in spending since March 2021, when American households received a final federal stimulus check of $1,400.
The Commerce Department reported Thursday that general merchandise stores saw business up 5.4%, while sales at clothing stores rose 2.6%. Online sales rose 6.4% Restaurant sales rose 1%.
Retailers are closely monitoring Russia's war with Ukraine and how it could weigh on shoppers' confidence but also worsen inflation. The conflict has already limited supplies of wheat, vegetable oils, and electronic components like chips. It's also pushed up fertilizer prices that were already high, made scarce supplies even harder to find and squeezed farmers, especially those in the developing world. In addition to the Russian invasion, rising COVID-19 cases and renewed restrictions in China could worsen supply chain issues.

Russia has found just the man to lead its ongoing assault on Ukraine, Gen. Aleksandr Dvornikov.
The top-level general takes over a war that had no single overall commander and as the Russian military has suffered embarrassing setbacks, retreating from its planned siege of Kyiv.
Dvornikov has led the Russian forces in the south and east of Ukraine, which Moscow will now make its main objective, and perfectly encapsulates the remorseless and long-running brutality of the Russian military.
He became known as the Butcher of Syria for his role leading the Russian campaign in Syria, most notoriously the reduction of Aleppo.
A United Nations human rights official called that city, after the Russians were done with it, “a slaughterhouse.” He depicted “a gruesome locus of pain and fear, where the lifeless bodies of small children are trapped under streets of rubble and pregnant women deliberately bombed.”
That ghastly description, of course, sounds all too familiar. Naturally enough, the Russian government honored Dvornikov for his bloody handiwork in Syria as a “hero of the Russian federation.”
Bucha is another tragic place name in a long catalogue of Russians atrocities — perpetrated against foreigners and its own people, perpetrated when the Soviets struggled for control during their rule, and afterward, perpetrated with relatively primitive military technology and with the most up-to-date modern firepower.
Where the Russian military goes, war crimes are sure to follow. It is a reflection of a twisted Russian political culture that has never developed an appreciation for individual worth, democratic accountability, or humanitarian norms. Vladimir Putin is not to be confused with Lenin or Stalin — he paints his horrors on a much smaller canvas. But his cold-eyed brutality is characteristically Russian.
For the last 100 years, Russia has been a brutalized and brutalizing country. It suffered nearly 3.5 million deaths in World War I, another 8 million dead in the Russian Civil War, and then 27 million more in World War II.
The founder of the Soviet state, Lenin, was a theorist and practitioner of “mass terror.” After the Revolution, the civil war between the Bolsheviks and their opponents was a series of atrocities. Then came the cataract of unspeakable violence in the death struggle with the Nazis.
The Red Army’s decisive march to Berlin at the end of the war was one long, pitiless war crime. The Russians raped 2 million German women. According to historian Antony Beevor, author of “The Fall of Berlin 1945,” one doctor believed that of 100,000 women raped in the city, 10,000 died as a consequence, many by suicide.
The English-speaking world features its share of shameful and brutal acts, but nothing on the mind-numbing scale of such depravities. And the crimes in the U.S. and elsewhere are looked back on with shame, whether slavery or the expropriation of indigenous people. In contrast, in the 21st century, when more civilized practices are supposed to have prevailed, Putin is adding more disgraceful blots to Russia’s woeful record.
What kind of force considers a hospital a legitimate military target? Terrorist groups — and the Russian military.
In Syria a few years ago, Russia bombed four hospitals in 12 hours, a savage performance forecasting the treatment they’d mete out to Ukraine. According to The New York Times, Syrian health care workers believed that a United Nations “humanitarian deconfliction” list containing the locations of hospitals was used as a target list by Russian forces.
Of course, Russia leveled the city of Grozny in the late 1990s, killing thousands of civilians. Its soldiers raped and tortured.
What the Russian lacks in planning and proficiency, it makes up in barbarity and utter disregard for humanity. War is hell, but almost all advanced nations try to keep it within some bounds of decency. Russia is an outlier. For it, the cruelty is the point — and the reflexive practice.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The number of coronavirus cases and deaths in Africa have dropped to their lowest levels since the pandemic began, marking the longest decline yet seen in the disease, according to the World Health Organization.
In a statement on Thursday, the U.N. health agency said COVID-19 infections due to the omicron surge had “tanked” from a peak of more than 308,000 weekly cases to fewer than 20,000 last week. Cases and deaths fell by 29% and 37% respectively in the last week; deaths decreased to 239 from the previous week.
“This low level of infection has not been seen since April 2020 in the early stages of the pandemic in Africa,” WHO said, noting that no country in the region is currently seeing an increase of COVID-19 cases.
The agency warned, however, that with winter approaching for Southern Hemisphere countries, “there is a high risk of another wave of new infections.” The coronavirus spreads more easily in cooler temperatures when people are more likely to gather in larger numbers indoors.
“With the virus still circulating, the risk of new and potentially more deadly variants emerging remains, and the pandemic control measures are pivotal to effective response to a surge in infections,” said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO's Africa director.
Earlier this week, WHO said scientists in Botswana and South Africa have detected new forms of the omicron variant, labeled as BA.4 and BA.5, but aren’t sure yet if they might be more transmissible or dangerous.
To date, the new versions of omicron have been detected in four people in Botswana and 23 people in South Africa. Beyond Africa, scientists have confirmed cases in Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom. WHO said there was so far no evidence the new sub-variants spread any differently than the original omicron variant.
Despite repeated warnings from WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus that the coronavirus would devastate Africa, the continent has been among the least affected by the pandemic.
In an analysis released last week, WHO estimated that up to 65% of people in Africa have been infected with the coronavirus and said unlike many other regions, most people infected on the continent didn't show any symptoms.
Scientists at WHO and elsewhere have speculated that factors including Africa's young population, the lower incidence of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes and warmer weather, may have helped it avoid a bigger wave of disease. Still, some countries have seen significant increases in the numbers of unexplained deaths, suggesting authorities were missing numerous COVID-19 cases.

Last fall, rumors of Pete Davidson’s newfound romance began to circulate. Blurry photos sparked saucy theories. Unnamed sources and anonymous friends provided critical intel for gossip columnists. But it wasn’t until a night in mid-November last year when Pete Davidson emerged from Los Angeles celebrity haunt Giorgio Baldi holding hands with Kim Kardashian that the news became public. Yes, the rumors were true: Pete Davidson loves the merch from LA sandwich shop Uncle Paulie’s.
“It was like the biggest photo in the world that day,” Uncle Paulie’s co-founder Paul James told me. He’s not quite exaggerating.Onlookers immediately identified a hickey on Davidson’s neck, and in the following days gossip outlets focused in on every detail from the photo. Davidson’s mud-colored hat with cursive script spelling out “Uncle Paulie’s,” meanwhile, pulled James into the vortex. “We were getting gossip outlets and people DMing us like, ‘Tell us more!’” he said. James was as much in the dark about the photo as everyone else but the image sent something bigger into motion. With the help of Pete Davidson, Uncle Paulie’s went from friendly sub shop slinging T-shirts to bona fide always-sold-out streetwear brand.
James opened Uncle Paulie’s on LA’s Beverly Boulevard in 2017, hoping to recreate the sandwich shops he frequented growing up in Queens, New York. In LA, he said, your coffee order doesn’t even come with a side of eye contact. He missed the experience of walking “into a deli and the guy behind the counter knows your name and they know your order and ask how your wife and kid's doing,” James said.
Moving cold cuts and sandwiches has always been Uncle Paulie’s primary goal, but he’d always planned to sell merch, too. James wanted a design that reminded him of the shirts, complete with contact info, that local plumbers and tow truck operators would wear in his neighborhood while he was growing up. He entrusted his cofounder, luxe streetwear designer and sneaker Jon Buscemi, with quality control. The pair worked to find a supplier who would make tees locally in Los Angeles. “We put a little extra love into it than just printing on some random blanks,” James said.
Since the start, James and Buscemi have treated merch as a serious enterprise. Over the years, the sandwich shop rang up collaborations with Lacoste and Carhartt WIP. The result is a merch shop that moves hats and graphic tees with streetwear-drop efficiency. “As soon as we have the hats, they're gone. Right now I have none,” James said. “I'm waiting for a shipment to come. They fly off the shelves.” And even before Davidson, the shop carved out an interesting role as a little slice of Italian-Americana for those abroad. The shop frequently ships its hats to customers in Japan. The merch is successful enough that it’s become a “whole other business,” James says

'White Woke' Dems Are So Wrong That Even Al Sharpton and Joe Scarborough Are Disgusted
The first 15 months of the Joe Biden presidency have shown plenty of signs his party is going to get pounded at the two-year midterm mark.
But when MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Al Sharpton took their disgust with D.C. Democrats public Monday, those signs might as well have turned into grave markers.
Because when Democrats have lost Al Sharpton, they’ve lost even the leftist America.
The topic arose when Scarborough decided to air his beef with what he called “the blind spot” of Democrats in Washington, D.C.: Namely, that they’re so infatuated with their own dogma and their “support” on social media, they’ve forgotten the people they’re supposed to represent.
It’s a rare feat for modern leftists that they can make a grifter like Al Sharpton sound sincere, but they’ve pulled it off.
Check it out here:
Scarborough started it off:
“And let me say it slowly for my Democratic friends in Washington, D.C.,” Scarborough said, the insult deliberate.
“Black voters are more conservative than you are, white woke leaders in Washington, D.C. Hispanic voters are more conservative than you are, white woke leaders in Washington, D.C.
“Asian-American voters are more conservative than you are, white woke voters in Washington, D.C. And they’re more conservative on crime. They’re more conservative on education. They’re more conservative on, quote, ‘these woke issues.’ Get off of Twitter.
“I’m telling you. And Rev, if you look at Biden, Biden runs against 15 progressives. Biden is the only moderate. Biden wins,” he continued. “We’ve said it time and time again. Eric Adams runs as a conservative. He wins Brooklyn, he wins the Bronx, he wins Staten Island, surprise, he wins Queens as a conservative, as a centrist Democrat.”
Scarborough is a former Republican congressman from Florida — swept into office by the Newt Gingrich “Contract with America” revolution of 1994 — who has shown flashes of sanity before. He’s publicly criticized Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her ignorance, for example (a stunningly obvious example, granted, but give him props anyway).
He wasn’t afraid to mock the Democratic candidates during their clown-car presidential primary campaign.
So MSNBC audiences are probably used to Scarborough rocking the progressive boat. But when Scarborough and Sharpton start like “The Sean Hannity Show” when Bill O’Reilly is calling in, Democrats have a problem.
And on Monday, it was clear, Democrats have a problem.
“They’re losing people of color because they really don’t get the people of color’s life,” Sharpton said, in words that had to stun his fellow Democrats.
“We don’t want to be manipulated by right-wing elitist billionaires or by left-wing guys that don’t understand our life on the ground. That is living in fear of crime. That is living as a result of inflation that is killing us – in many parts of this country we need gas to go to work. These Beltway elitists, the limousine liberals here in New York, don’t live in the real world.
“And blacks have to and browns have to deal with the real world.”
The fact that all of that even needs to be said to MSNBC audiences, on a network built on a business model of spewing Democratic propaganda, is a pretty good indication that the Democratic power structure in Washington is on rickety footing when it comes to its base.
Of course, no one who’s cast an honest eye on American politics can ignore the fact that the Republican base has its fractures, marching in lockstep has never been a conservative quality.
Democrats, on the other hand, for all their pretensions to “tolerance” and “open-mindedness” have built their recent successes on a downright Stalinist uniformity of opinion. (Does anyone think the women swimming for the University of Pennsylvania would be terrified of making their names public when they criticized the “transgender” Lia Thomas if they were taking a liberal position to do it?)
For sane Americans, who’ve watched Biden tear down former President Donald Trump’s successes to spread failure and chaos — on the economy, on the border, in international affairs and on the country’s standing in the world — the disaster of the current administration has been self-evident.
But when liberals like Scarborough and leftist con men like Sharpton are publicly disgusted, too, it’s safe to say the tide has turned.
It doesn’t mean traditionally leftist voters are going to start pulling the lever for Trump supporters (that would take a couple more years of Biden disasters). And it doesn’t mean Al Sharpton, at this late date, will take on Larry Elder’s world view.
But it does in all likelihood mean midterm turnout for Democratic candidates is going to be hurting — badly.
Democrats who really want to see what they’re facing in the midterms can skip the polls and just watch the Scarborough-Sharpton exchange.
If that’s any indication, it’s going to be worse than they think.

Genes that signal the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19 are increasing at many wastewater treatment sites around Michigan.
People infected with the virus shed it in their waste. The concentration of it found in wastewater is considered an early indicator of where COVID infections are heading.
The state monitors twenty so-called “sentinel sites” across Michigan. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services epidemiologist Susan Peters said most of them are seeing more COVID-related genetic material.
“Thirteen of our twenty sites are showing increased detections over the past fifteen days, compared to when we ran the data last week,” Peters said.
Signs of increasing COVID infections are starting to show up in reported case data too. The state reports a daily average of just over 1100 cases for the past week, compared to around 643 the prior week. The state now reports COVID numbers only once a week, on Wednesdays.
Most Michigan counties technically remain at a low level of transmission, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. However, both the latest wastewater and case report data point to an upswing in infections, likely driven by the BA.2 or “stealth Omicron” variant of COVID-19.
Peters said wastewater data is considered a leading indicator of a possible COVID surge, but the timing can vary. “[For] some of our sites, it’s maybe a two to three day lead time,” she said. “Other times, it can be potentially as long as three or four weeks.”
There are other limiting factors. Most of the wastewater data is around a week old, and closer to two weeks in most of Metro Detroit.
“We’re still learning a lot from wastewater testing. It's a relatively new field, especially when it comes to applying it to COVID,” said Peters. “And so we're learning a lot, and there's still a lot more to learn about it as well.”

High internet penetration, rise in adoption of smartphones, and changes in lifestyle in developing countries drive the growth of the global food delivery mobile application market.
PORTLAND, Ore., April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allied Market Research published a report, titled, "Food Delivery Mobile Application Market by Deployment Platform (Android, iOS, Others), by End User (Food Delivery Market Place, Restaurants & Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2030." According to the report, the global food delivery mobile application industry generated $6.75 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach $62.83 billion by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 25% from 2021 to 2030.
Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
High internet penetration, rise in adoption of smartphones, changes in lifestyle in developing countries, and advantages such as cost savings, high return on investments (ROI), high profit margins, and high customer retention drive the growth of the global food delivery mobile application market. However, lack of high-speed connectivity in developing and underdeveloped countries and uncertainty of enterprises in developing their own applications restrain the market growth. On the other hand, increase in investments in digitalization and rise in alliances and collaborations of application developers with various restaurants present new opportunities in the coming years.

Covid-19 Scenario
- During the pandemic, the demand for food delivery increased considerably to avoid visiting restaurants, cafes, and hotels to avoid possibility of cross-transmission. This led to rise in usage of food delivery mobile applications.
- Rise in adoption of technology and surge in initiatives to consolidate the entire food delivery ecosystem in developing countries of Asia-Pacific raised the demand for food delivery mobile applications.

The Android segment to continue its leadership status throughout the forecast period
Based on deployment platform, the Android segment accounted for the highest market share in 2020, accounting for around half of the global food delivery mobile application market, and is estimated to continue its leadership status in terms of revenue throughout the forecast period. This is due to larger base of android users as compared to other types of operating systems. However, the iOS segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR of 26.5% from 2021 to 2030, owing to the global digitization, accessible designer tools, cross-device development, and monetization.
The food delivery market place segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on end user, the food delivery market place segment contributed to the highest market share in 2020, holding more than four-fifths of the global food delivery mobile application industry, and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period. This is attributed to no additional costs to consumers and ability of aggregators to achieve high-profit margins with the asset-light model. However, the restaurants & others segment is expected to manifest the fastest CAGR of 27.5% from 2021 to 2030, owing to rise in popularity of digital services among businesses and customers.
Asia-Pacific, followed by North America, to maintain its dominance by 2030
Based on region, Asia-Pacific, followed by North America, accounted for the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2020, contributing to more than two-fifths of the global food delivery mobile application market, and is expected to maintain its dominance by 2030. This is attributed to presence of many global and domestic food service players including Zomato, Foodpanda, Waimai Baidu, and others and rise in penetration of smartphones. The report also analyzes regions including Europe and LAMEA.

Cannes announces official fest line-up, Indian doc 'All That Breathes' in Special Screening section
- Country:
- India
Delhi-based filmmaker Shaunak Sen's documentary ''All That Breathes'' will premiere in the Special Screening segment at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival, the organisers announced Thursday as they unveiled the official line-up of the movie gala.
The 10-day festival, considered one of the most prestigious gathering of cinema talent from across the world, will also see Hollywood spectacles such as ''Top Gun: Maverick'' and the Elvis Presley biopic its 75th edition.
''All That Breathes'' by Delhi-based director Sen will premiere in the Special Screening segment at the festival, the organisers said in an announcement that was live streamed on their official Twitter page.
The 90-minute long documentary follows siblings Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad, who have devoted their lives to rescue and treat injured birds, especially the Black Kites.
Working out of their derelict basement in Wazirabad, the Delhi brothers become the central focus of the film and their story zooms out to document a larger snapshot of the city, where the air is toxic and the ground is on a slowburn of social turmoil.
In January, the film won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, a film gala that promotes independent cinema and filmmakers.
It is Sen's second directorial after the acclaimed 2016 ''Cities of Sleep'', which was about the homeless scouting for places to sleep in the capital.
There is no Indian film in the Un Certain Regard section but neighbouring country Pakistan's ''Joyland'', written and directed by filmmaker Saim Sadiq, features in the segment. The director previously won the Orizzonti Award for Best Short Film for ''Darling'' at the 2019 Venice Film Festival.
As previously announced Paramount-Skydance's ''Top Gun: Maverick'', starring Tom Cruise, and Warner Bros/Roadshow's ''Elvis'' directed by Baz Luhrmann featuring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks will be the star attractions on the red carpet of the festival.
Cruise, who had attended Festival de Cannes three decades ago for Ron Howard's ''Far And Away'', will also be honoured with a special career tribute at the gala.

Bolsonaro downplays Brazil army's Viagra order
PAY ATTENTION: Click “See First” under the “Following” tab to see YEN.com.gh News on your News Feed!
President Jair Bolsonaro on Wednesday downplayed the Brazilian military's recent purchase of Viagra, which drew scrutiny from opposition lawmakers and a flurry of jokes online.
"It was maybe 50,000 pills total. With all due respect, that's nothing," the far-right president said at a meeting with Evangelical Christian ministers at the presidential palace, two days after revelations the armed forces had purchased a sizeable order of sildenafil, the active ingredient in the erectile-dysfunction drug.
"Obviously, that's mostly for retirees and inactive service members," he added, repeating the defense ministry's explanation that the drug would in fact be used by the military to treat high blood pressure and rheumatism.
Bolsonaro, a former army captain, did not comment on the military's latest titter-provoking episode: news on Tuesday that it had also acquired 60 penile implants.
But he attacked the media for swelling the whole thing out of proportion.
"We take abuse every day from a press that acts in very bad faith and is ignorant on the matter," he said.

The purchases were revealed by an opposition lawmaker who obtained the details through a freedom of information request.
They triggered no shortage of jokes on social media, where bemused users shared drawings of tanks with limp cannon and cracks about upping the military's morale.

Twitter’s ‘Spider-Man 3’ vs. ‘Dark Knight Rises’ debate isn’t as one-sided as you might think
Superhero Twitter is locked in a heated debate over which out of Spider-Man 3 and The Dark Knight Rises offered a better conclusion to their respective trilogies.
Both movies are controversial third entries in an otherwise beloved comic book film series, known for their divisive storytelling and character decisions and unintentionally cringeworthy moments that have gone on to inspire memes. And yet this discussion that’s gone viral on social media has revealed that a lot of people actually love these movies with a fierce passion, with the number of TDK defenders being surprising even with those who believe Spidey 3 is superior.
The whole thing started with a tweet from @Sentinel_23 in which they made the bold claim that “Spider-Man 3 will always be better than The Dark Knight Rises.”
Obviously, this resulted in a lot of pushback from DC fans who took the opportunity to plug why Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Rises is, in their opinion, infinitely better.
But, on the other side, Marvel lovers threw their lot in with Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3.
Did TDK give us Bully Maguire? No, no, it didn’t.
OK, on a more serious note, this person actually makes a solid case.
Hot take: both of these movies are good.
Traditionally, you’d probably expect Dark Knight Rises to come away with the most supporters, given how much film fans love the Nolan trilogy. But it’s possible that a combination of Tobey Maguire’s return in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Sam Raimi directing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the reason behind this upsurge in popularity for Spidey 3. Likewise, maybe the success of The Batman has slightly dimmed the devotion to the Nolanverse for some, leaving the playing field a little more level.

- Q3 Net loss per share of $0.01 vs. a net loss of $0.18 per share from same period last year
- InFoods® IBS diagnostic-guided therapy clinical trial results demonstrated statistically significant improvement in multiple symptom related endpoints including Abdominal Pain Intensity (API) and Bloating
IRVINE, Calif., April 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biomerica, Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRA), a global provider of advanced medical diagnostic and therapeutic products, today announced its fiscal third quarter and nine month results ended February 28, 2022.
For the third quarter ended February 28, 2022, Biomerica reported revenue of $7.6 million, an increase of over 111% as compared to the prior year third quarter fiscal 2021 revenues of $3.6 million. The increased revenue is driven primarily by increased demand for the Company’s Covid tests as well as increased demand for several of the Company’s other diagnostic products. For the third quarter fiscal 2022, the company reported a net loss of $0.1 million (or $0.01 per share), a significant improvement as compared to the prior year third quarter fiscal 2021 net loss of $2.1 million (or $0.18 per share). For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, consolidated net sales for Biomerica increased by 120% to $13.6 million compared to $6.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. Net loss for the nine months ended February 28, 2022, was $2.8 million (or $0.22 per share), a significant improvement as compared to the prior year nine month period of fiscal 2021 net loss of $5.7 million (or $0.49 per share).
The Company also enters its fourth fiscal quarter of 2022 with over $4.0 million of outstanding unfilled customer orders (backlog), which the Company expects to fill during the fourth quarter, along with new orders that come in during the quarter.
Zack Irani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Biomerica, commented, “We are very encouraged by the heightened demand we’ve seen for our COVID-19 products. We are also seeing increased interest and demand across many of our other product lines. Like most companies we are contending with supply chain constraints that are negatively impacting our margins. However, we will hopeful to see operating margins improve as the worldwide supply chain issues subside.”
“In addition, we’ve completed our InFoods® IBS endpoint clinical trial which demonstrated statistically significant improvements across multiple symptom endpoints. The trial was conducted with some of the most respected healthcare institutions in the world, including Mayo Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc., a Harvard Medical School teaching Hospital, Houston Methodist, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the University of Michigan. This was the first trial of its kind. InFoods® IBS is a patent protected product addressing the $30 billion irritable bowel syndrome market where surprisingly little relief is currently available for patients. InFoods® IBS identifies certain foods that when removed from the diet demonstrated significant symptom improvement. This disruptive technology redefines how patients with gastrointestinal diseases can be treated. We are now moving forward on our strategy to attain FDA clearance of the product with the assistance from our Scientific Advisory Board. We will also continue to evaluate partnership/licensing opportunities, as they arise, with U.S and multinational companies that could help us commercialize the InFoods products in the U.S and overseas. Once cleared, InFoods® IBS will be the first FDA-regulated diagnostic therapy identifying both the problematic foods of IBS patients, as well as alleviating their symptoms, offering a meaningful alternative to current therapies.”
About Biomerica (NASDAQ: BMRA)
Biomerica, Inc. (www.biomerica.com) is a global biomedical technology company that develops, patents, manufactures and markets advanced diagnostic and therapeutic products used at the point of care (in home and in physicians' offices) and in hospital/clinical laboratories for detection and/or treatment of medical conditions and diseases. The Company's products are designed to enhance the health and well-being of people, while reducing total healthcare costs. Biomerica’s primarily focus is on gastrointestinal and inflammatory diseases where the Company has multiple diagnostic and therapeutic products in development.
About InFoods®
The Biomerica InFoods® IBS product is designed to allow physicians to identify patient-specific foods (e.g., eggs, broccoli, wheat, potatoes, pork, etc.), that when removed from the diet, may alleviate or improve an individual's IBS symptoms including, but not limited to, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, cramping, pain and indigestion. This patented, diagnostic-guided therapy is designed to allow for a patient-specific, guided dietary regimen to improve IBS outcomes. A point-of-care version of the product is being developed to allow physicians to perform the test in-office using a finger stick blood sample while a clinical lab version of the product is expected to be the first for which the Company will seek regulatory approval. A billable CPT code that can be used by both clinical labs and physicians' offices is already available for InFoods® diagnostic products. Since the InFoods® product is a diagnostic-guided therapy, and not a drug, it has no drug type side effects. An estimated 45 million people in America currently suffer from IBS making it a leading cause for patient doctor visits.

Critics deride Johnson plan to fly asylum seekers to Rwanda
Labour Party leaders and advocates slammed a plan announced by U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday to fly some asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing and settlement in what he called an effort to stop those "illegally" migrating to the country via "unseaworthy" boats on the English Channel.
Driving the news: Yvette Cooper, a British politician and a member of the opposition Labour Party, called the plan "unworkable, unethical [and] extortionate."
- She added that the announcement was "an attempt to distract from Boris Johnson’s lawbreaking," referring to how Johnson will be fined for attending Downing Street parties while Britain was under a strict lockdown in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Details: The U.K. would pay the Rwandan government 120 million pounds (approximately $157 million) that will be used for the "economic development and growth of Rwanda," per a U.K. government press release.
- "Funding will also be provided to support the delivery of asylum operations, accommodation and integration, similar to the costs incurred in the U.K. for these services," according to the release.
- Additionally, crossing the English Channel in small boats will also be made a crime.
- Johnson said the government has been preparing the plan for nine months. He also said he expects European countries to enact similar action.
What they're saying: "It means that economic migrants taking advantage of the asylum system will not get to stay in the U.K. while those in genuine need will be properly protected, including with access to legal services on arrival in Rwanda, and given the opportunity to build a new life in that dynamic country," Johnson said.
- The Rwandan Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, Vincent Biruta, said that his country "is committed to international co-operation and partnership on migration, in particular the opportunities that a robust protection system as well as a comprehensive human capital investment program can create, for migrants and for development of the host country."
But, but, but: Steve Valdez-Symonds, refugee director at Amnesty International U.K., pointed out that Rwanda has a “dismal” human rights record that the U.K. government is failing to consider, per AP.
What we're watching: While Johnson said he is "confident" that the plan is compliant with "our international legal obligations," he expects that it will be challenged in the courts.

UGC guidelines for pursuing 2 degrees: 5 points students should know
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to allow students to pursue two full-time degree programmes in physical mode simultaneously either at the same university or from different universities.
Making the announcement, UGC Chairman M Jagdesh Kumar earlier this week said, "As announced in the new National Education Policy (NEP) and in order to allow students to acquire multiple skills, UGC is coming up with new guidelines to allow a candidate to pursue two degree programmes in physical mode simultaneously."
"The degrees can either be pursued from the same or different universities. Students will also be allowed to pursue two degree programmes in physical and online mode simultaneously," he added.
Following Kumar's announcement, the commission issued detailed guidelines on the official website. Here are five things students should know:
- A student can pursue two degrees in physical mode if class timings for one programme do not overlap with the class timings of the other programme.
- A student can pursue one degree programme offline and another in online or open and distance learning (ODL) mode, or up to two programmes in online/ODL mode simultaneously.
- Students should pursue online and ODL degrees only from those institutes which are recognized by the UGC, Statutory Council or Govt. of India.
- Degree or diploma programmes under these guidelines shluld be governed by the regulations notified by the UGC and also the respective statutory/professional councils, wherever applicable.
- The UGC guidelines are applicable only to the students pursuing academic programmes other than Ph.D.

South Carolina said it is finally prepared to carry out firing squad executions, now that renovations on the death chamber were completed. The state Corrections Department announced the news Friday, about 10 months after South Carolina passed a law that gave death row inmates the options of death by firing squad, lethal injection, or the electric chair. The legislation made the latter the primary means of execution, citing difficulties procuring the drugs for most lethal injection, which is the widely used method of execution in the United States.

A Sinnkaye Christie volley two minutes before half-time gave Heath victory against their fellow hopefuls to leave them fourth in the table ahead of clashes away to Corinthian on Saturday and at home to Whitehawk on Monday.
Dynan said: “In the first half, Ramsgate didn’t know whether they were coming or going, and we took the game to them. Going into half-time 1-0 I felt they had a bit of luck on their side as we could have been three or four up. We looked menacing, threatening with set-pieces. We almost look like the home Kent side.
“In the early part of the second-half Jordy Ndozid was lucky not to be sent off and me taking him off changed the game. They get the better possession, the better chances, they were just unable to crack the code to the safe - Billy Collings was the man of the match.
“It’s another win and another clean sheet against them. It’s two in the top five-six we’ve kept clean sheets against this year and we continue to dominate that top six mini table.
“It means nothing, though, if we make play-offs, and don’t continue that against those sorts of teams. But it’s put us there or thereabouts – we’re one of the favourites I would have thought to win the play-offs.
Dynan expects Corinthian to play a pressing game on Saturday. “We would take would take a point but we’re setting out to take three. “They’re having a good season themselves, in good form at the moment and they’ll probably be a bit gutted that they didn’t hit this form a little earlier and continue it to the end of the season and pushed themselves into the playoff spaces. They’ll be there or thereabouts next year.”

In her usual post-European Central Bank policy meeting press conference, ECB President Christine Lagarde said that the bank's Asset Purchase Programme (APP), which is being tapered down to EUR 20B in purchases per month in Q2, is very likely to end in Q3, reported Reuters. However, Lagarde said she is open-minded about specifically when it ends in Q3.
When pressed on the ECB's current guidance that interest rate hikes could begin "some time after" the end of the APP, Lagarde said it could be anything between a week and several months.

Trinamool Congress spokesperson and state general secretary, Kunal Ghosh, on Friday, slammed the West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and called him a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) agent.
"He (Dhankar) has become a BJP agent and BJP person who doesn't see development in Bengal. He is maligning Bengal with a clear political intention," said Ghosh.
Highlighting the lens through the positives in the state, Ghosh emphasised the awards the state of West Bengal had won, he also mentioned that the 'governor's tweet and attitude would be protested against.'
Earlier, Dhankar had mentioned the need to focus on the spirit of the Indian Constitution. The whole tussle of words started amid the row over the gang rape and death of a minor, where a 14-year-old girl died after she was allegedly gang-raped in Hanskhali in Nadia district. The victim's family accused the son of a Trinamool Congress panchayat leader in the case.

Yelp to cover travel expenses for workers seeking abortions
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yelp will cover the travel expenses of employees who must travel out of state for abortions, joining the ranks of major employers trying to help workers affected by new restrictions in Texas and other states.
The benefit announced Tuesday covers all 4,000 employees at the online review service, but seems most likely to have its biggest immediate impact on its 200 workers in Texas, which has passed a law banning abortions within the state after six weeks of pregnancy.
“We’ve long been a strong advocate for equality in the workplace, and believe that gender equality cannot be achieved if women’s healthcare rights are restricted,” said Miriam Warren, Yelp’s chief diversity officer.
Other states, including Oklahoma, are also are clamping down on abortions, prompting Yelp, based in San Francisco, and several other companies to draw up policies aimed at helping their workers get reproductive health care in other states.
Last month Citigroup, based in New York, disclosed plans to cover the travel expenses of any of its more than 220,000 employees, thousands of whom work in Texas, who travel to another state for an abortion.
The two largest U.S. ride-hailing services, Uber and Lyft, last year announced they will pay the legal fees for drivers who could get sued under the new Texas law for transporting a passenger to an appointment for an abortion.
The policies expose companies to potential backlash from those who support abortion restrictions, but they could be an advantage for employers with a footprint in states like Texas in an increasingly competitive job market.

The scorching summer heat takes a toll not just on our skin but on hair too. Our hair needs special care during the summer months. The sweat on our scalp makes the hair smelly. It also leads to hair getting dry and damaged. To get rid of these problems, we can use hair perfume, which makes our hair smell good. It also makes our hair silky and shiny by providing sun protection. Here are a few benefits of using hair perfume during summers.
1. Smells good: Applying hair perfume is the most effective way to remove the hair odour. There are no side effects of using hair perfume. You can also mix it with shampoo while washing your hair. This keeps the good smell intact for hours.
2. Protect hair: The hair perfume also helps protect your hair from the sun. Using the hair perfume before stepping out of the house protects your scalp from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
3. Moisture the hair: Your hair gets dry during the hot summer months because of the scorching heat. However, hair perfume can lock the moisture, keeping your scalp clean and hair soft.
4. Beautiful hair: Applying hair perfume to the hair regularly keeps it silky, shiny and frizz-free. It also helps your hair stay healthy.
