UN chief discusses Yemen in phone call with Saudi crown prince
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman acquired a cellphone name from United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported early on Thursday.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
Guterres expressed his gratitude for the Kingdom’s efforts in attaining a truce between combatants in Yemen.
The UN chief additionally praised Saudi Arabia’s efforts to achieve a political answer to the conflict in Yemen that has been raging since 2014.
The dialog got here after the UN envoy to Yemen Hans Grundberg delivered a speech within the Yemeni capital Sanaa, held by the Iran-backed Houthi militia.
Grundberg known as for “serious engagement” to uphold a truce between the Arab Coalition and the Houthis.
The two sides agreed to a ceasefire originally of April, marking the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
“While we see that the truce is broadly holding, we need to be mindful of the challenges, too,” the Swedish diplomat stated on Wednesday.
“We are relying on the parties’ continued commitment and serious engagement in upholding the truce,” he added.
Yemen’s president final week handed his powers to a brand new management council tasked with holding peace talks with the Houthis.
Saudi Arabia and different Gulf Arab nations fashioned the Arab Coalition to intervene in Yemen’s civil conflict in 2015, after combating broke out the earlier 12 months.

Elon Musk sent shockwaves through the market on Thursday after submitting a proposal to fully take over Twitter, raising the possibility that the platform could soon be privately owned by one of its biggest shitposters.
Whether to take Musk seriously is harder to say—though there are certainly reasons to remain skeptical about the offer.
Musk’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13 is non-binding and includes a clause that would allow him to “to withdraw the Proposal or modify the terms at any time.” That language, though legally standard, could give him wiggle room to renege if he so chooses.
Musk has a track record of not following through on announced agreements. This month, for instance, after he disclosed a 9.2 percent ownership stake in Twitter, the company offered him a seat on its board. He accepted, and other board members tweeted out cheery messages welcoming him.
Then, over the weekend, the social media company’s CEO, Parag Agrawal, announced that Musk had changed course at the last minute.
“Elon’s appointment to the board was to become officially effective 4/9, but Elon shared that same morning that he will no longer be joining the board. I believe this is for the best,” he wrote.
Daniel Ives, a managing director at Wedbush Securities, said that in spite of Musk’s history, he thinks the Twitter deal will happen: “We believe this is a serious offer…and it's a soap opera that ultimately ends in Musk owning Twitter.”
Though he is worth an estimated $265 billion, according to Forbes, the Tesla CEO doesn’t currently have the cash on hand to fund the $43 billion acquisition, his historical stock sale disclosures suggest. As a result, he would either have to sell shares or use debt to pay for the deal. Ives believes that Musk would simply use his Tesla and SpaceX stock as collateral for $15 billion to $20 billion in debt financing.
Even if Twitter’s board shoots down Musk’s proposal, Ives said, they will face pressure to find an offer that is more competitive: “Otherwise, they’ll be eating shareholder lawsuits for breakfast.”
Musk talked a big game in his proposal letter to Twitter chairman Bret Taylor, which was disclosed in his SEC filing. “Since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative [of free speech] in its current form,” he wrote. “Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.”
The document also indicated that Musk had pushed for the company to go private over the weekend, just as his agreement to join the board was falling apart. Had he taken a seat on the board, Musk would have been prevented from acquiring a stake larger than 14.9 percent, per the terms of the deal. He is now free to invest as he sees fit.
The world’s richest man is known for his provocations on the platform. Over the weekend, he questioned whether Twitter was “dying,” even though he’s its largest individual shareholder. He also tweeted, then deleted, a suggestion about turning its headquarters into a homeless shelter.
Previously, Musk roiled markets in 2018 after tweeting that he was mulling taking Tesla private at a price of $420 per share, adding that he had already secured the necessary funding. That deal never happened, and Musk ultimately settled a fraud charge with the SEC over allegations that he had misled investors about the proposal.
The billionaire is reportedly now under investigation by the SEC over insider trading concerns related to his brother’s stock sales. (Musk has firmly denied wrongdoing.) More recently, he failed to punctually inform Twitter investors that he had acquired a 5 percent stake in the business, which has prompted at least one shareholder lawsuit and could invite even more regulatory scrutiny. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-elon-musks-shocking-twitter-bid-could-just-be-mega-trolling?source=articles&via=rss | 2022-04-14T16:40:55Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-elon-musks-shocking-twitter-bid-could-just-be-mega-trolling?source=articles&via=rss | false | 2 |

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a 15-week abortion ban into law Thursday as the state joined a growing conservative push to restrict access ahead of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could limit the procedure nationwide.
The new law marks a significant blow to abortion access in the South, where Florida has provided wider access to the procedure than its regional neighbors.
The new law, which takes effect July 1, contains exceptions if the abortion is necessary to save a mother’s life, prevent serious injury or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality. It does not allow for exemptions in cases where pregnancies were caused by rape, incest or human trafficking. Under current law, Florida allows abortions up to 24 weeks.
“This will represent the most significant protections for life that have been enacted in this state in a generation,” DeSantis said as he signed the bill at the “Nación de Fe” (“Nation of Faith”), an evangelical church in the city of Kissimmee that serves members of the Latino population.
DeSantis, a Republican rising star and potential 2024 presidential candidate, signed the measure after several women delivered speeches about how they chose not to have abortions or, in the case of one, regretted having done so.
Some of the people in attendance, including young children, stood behind the speakers holding signs saying “Choose life,” while those who spoke stood at a podium to which was affixed a sign displaying an infant's feet and a heartbeat reading, “Protect Life.”
Debate over the proposal grew deeply personal and revealing inside the Florida legislature, with lawmakers recalling their own abortions and experiences with sexual assault in often tearful speeches on the House and Senate floors.
Elsewhere in the United States, Republican lawmakers have introduced new abortion restrictions, some similar to a Texas law that bans abortion after roughly six weeks and leaves enforcement up to private citizens, which the U.S. Supreme Court decided to leave in place.
Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt recently signed a bill to make it a felony to perform an abortion, punishable by up to a decade in prison. Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey in March signed legislation to outlaw abortion after 15 weeks if the U.S. Supreme Court leaves Mississippi’s law in place.
If Roe is overturned, 26 states are certain or likely to quickly ban or severely restrict abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a think tank that supports abortion rights. During debate of the Florida legislation, Republicans have said they want the state to be well placed to limit access to abortions if the U.S. Supreme Court upholds Mississippi’s law. | https://www.lmtonline.com/living/article/Florida-governor-expected-to-sign-abortion-17080698.php | 2022-04-14T16:46:58Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/living/article/Florida-governor-expected-to-sign-abortion-17080698.php | true | 24 |

On Wednesday evening, troopers in Wasilla responded to the vicinity of Essential One Gas Station on the Seward Meridian Parkway after receiving multiple calls reporting “a woman displaying erratic behavior.”
The investigation initiated on arrival would find that a female suspect exhibited behavior that included cutting a Pre-Trial Enforcement Division ankle monitor off her leg and throwing it in a ditch before leaving the area.
Wasilla police and troopers began searching the area for the woman and would locate her about a half-mile distant from the station. The woman was identified as Wasilla resident Cori Smith, age 36. It was found that Smith was on Pre-Trial Supervision for a previous arrest/court case and required to wear an ankle monitor as a condition of her release.
As a result, Smith was taken into custody and charged with a single count of Escape III and remanded to the Mat Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer where she was held without bail. | https://alaska-native-news.com/wasilla-woman-arrested-for-escape-after-cutting-ankle-monitor-from-leg-on-seward-meridian-parkway-wednesday-evening/61043/ | 2022-04-14T16:49:03Z | https://alaska-native-news.com/wasilla-woman-arrested-for-escape-after-cutting-ankle-monitor-from-leg-on-seward-meridian-parkway-wednesday-evening/61043/ | false | 1 |

Fortnite to feature Coachella-themed music and fashion items to celebrate the festival
Epic Games has announced the launch of Coachella-themed fashion item drops in Fortnite, which will be timed to correspond with the real-world music event over the next two weekends. Music from artists on the Coachella lineup is also now available in the game.
Two item drops are scheduled in Fortnite to coincide with Coachella's dates. The first set of items, which include the Wilder and Lyric outfits along with matching accessories, will be available starting at 8 PM ET on April 14. The second drop will take place at 8PM ET on April 21, and will include music-reactive Alto and Poet outfits, plus accessories.
The Wilder Outfit includes the shark-based Finfin Back Bling, Neon Biter Pickaxe, and Finfin Flair Wrap, as well as the Cosmic Equalizer alt Style, which is reactive to music. Meanwhile, the Lyric outfit offers a cactus Swaguaro Back Bling and the electric Festival Shredder Pickaxe, both of which are reactive to music. It will also include the reactive Cosmic Equalizer. The outfits and items can be purchased individually or together in a "Rocking at Coachella" bundle deal.
In the second outfit drop, players can pick up the Alto Outfit's accessories like the music-reactive Sonic Vibes Back Bling and the tropical Softest Electropalm Pickaxe. The Poet Outfit includes the Cosmonautic Helmet Back Bling, a Cactical Crusher Pickaxe, and the Mainstage Wrap. Like the prior drop, they can be bought separately or in a "Dancing at Coachella" bundle which will also include the "Enter the Coachellaverse" Loading Screen.

Coachella's music will also make its way into the game. Up until May 16, Fortnite's Icon Radio will be playing music from more than 30 artists slated to play Coachella this year.

The collaboration with Coachella follows prior efforts that see the game maker integrating music into its experience.
Fortnite hosted its first virtual concert in 2019, featuring Marshmello. Since then, Fortnite has continued serve as a digital venue, and it's proven to be popular: Epic Games says Travis Scott's April 2020 show was viewed by 12.3 million players. Last year, Ariana Grande played the Rift Tour, with five different set times over the course of three days.
That's not Epic Games' only foray into music though: just last month the games manufacturer bought music platform Bandcamp.
And other games have joined Fortnite in putting on virtual shows, especially as touring and in-person events were put on pause during the pandemic. Lil Nas X played a Roblox concert and Minecraft has hosted festivals featuring Charli XCX, 100 Gecs and American Football. Having in-game features and items linked to music events like Coachella is one way to keep the gaming and music connection going now concerts and festivals are taking place. | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fortnite-feature-coachella-themed-music-153751254.html | 2022-04-14T16:51:03Z | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fortnite-feature-coachella-themed-music-153751254.html | true | 2 |
A booster dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine raised the level of antibodies in children ages 5 through 11, including a massive increase in antibodies that fight the Omicron variant, the company announced Thursday.
In addition to a significant increase in protection against the now-dominant Omicron variant, the booster — administered six months after a two-dose primary vaccine — also increases protection against the original strain, the drugmaker said.
The ongoing clinical trial has shown a 36-fold increase in protection from Omicron over an unboosted, two-dose vaccination.
The 10-microgram booster dose was tested in 140 healthy children ages 5 through 11 years.
The company said in a statement that it would be submitting its data to the US Food and Drug Administration within days.
Children between the ages of 5 and 11 have been eligible for the Pfizer shot since November of last year, meaning the first round of vaccinated children could potentially receive a booster as early as May, if authorized.
The data comes after an independent February study, conducted at the height of the New Year’s Omicron peak, showed a significant drop in protection among children who received a two-dose course.
COVID-19 infection rates among New York City’s unvaccinated residents have shown a slight uptick in recent weeks, according to health department data. | https://nypost.com/2022/04/14/pfizer-booster-raises-omicron-antibodies-for-kids-5-11/ | 2022-04-14T16:51:06Z | https://nypost.com/2022/04/14/pfizer-booster-raises-omicron-antibodies-for-kids-5-11/ | false | 2 |

A look at what’s happening around the majors on Thursday:
—
GASHED GUERRERO
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays wrap up their four-game series at Yankee Stadium, a day after the slugger hit three home runs and a double despite a nasty gash.
The AL MVP runner-up homered off Yankees ace Gerrit Cole in the first inning, then seemed like he’d have to leave an inning later when his bare throwing hand was accidentally spiked by baserunner Aaron Hicks.
Guerrero had to reach across his body for infielder Bo Bichette’s throw and placed his right hand down behind the first base bag to balance. Hicks stomped on it running out an infield single.
The 23-year-old Guerrero immediately began waving the hand around, then walked toward Toronto’s dugout as blood dripped onto his uniform and the turf. A trainer taped up the digit in the dugout, and after a couple of minutes, Guerrero jogged back to first base and the game continued.
With a bloody stain on the right thigh of his pants, Guerrero hit a two-run homer in his next at-bat. He then lined a double and hit another homer in a 6-4 win.
TRAVELING CHAMPS
The World Series champion Atlanta Braves begin their road series of the season when Charlie Morton (1-0, 3.38 ERA) starts at San Diego. Morton is 6-1 with a 2.09 ERA in nine career starts against the Padres.
Atlanta will be without reliever Luke Jackson this season after he had Tommy John surgery on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas. The Braves said shortly before opening day that Jackson had damage to the ligament in his right elbow.
Jackson was 2-2 with a career-best 1.98 ERA in 71 games last year. He had a 0.00 ERA in three World Series games against Houston.
NEEDS RELIEF
The Mariners will be minus reliever Sergio Romo after putting him on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
The move was made retroactive to Tuesday, a day after he pitched a scoreless inning at Minnesota in his 800th major league appearance. The 39-year-old righty also tossed a scoreless inning against the Twins in his Mariners debut on Saturday.
Romo finalized a $2 million, one-year contract with Seattle last month.
NICE WHILE IT LASTED
Closer Corey Knebel’s return from the COVID-related injured list meant the end of 28-year-old journeyman reliever Jeff Singer’s brief time with his hometown Phillies.
The South Jersey native who was working with his father at a Northeast Philadelphia car dealership in 2016 when the team signed him got to sit in the bullpen at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday night for the game against the Mets. He and had dozens of friends and family in attendance for his first game in a major league uniform.
”He got to fulfill a lifetime dream, and I think that was a special day for him,” Girardi said. ”It could be just the start of things to come.”

ILLESHEIM, Germany / FORT HOOD, Texas (FOX 44) – Cpl. Oscar Cantu of the 615th Aviation Support Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade has been selected to receive the CW4 Bob Wylie Award for AH64 Apache Aircraft maintenance excellence.
This award is named after U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4(R) Bob Wylie, who passed away in 2007. Wylie is widely known for his contributions and advancements in AH-64 Apache maintenance and logistical operations throughout the Army Aviation community. The award was dedicated soon after his passing, and is given to one Army Apache maintainer each year who embodies the legacy of Wylie in their work.
Cantu has been with the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade for two years, and was nominated by his chain of command to receive this honor due to his outstanding work ethic, subject matter expertise and leadership qualities.
Cantu originally joined the Army as a 12B combat engineer, and said moving to the field of Apache maintenance at the rank of Specialist was not easy. Arriving to his first unit, he quickly realized he was not at the level he wanted to be.
“I had to catch up to my peers when I first switched over from combat engineer,” Cantu said. “I spent a lot of time studying by myself to get to their level.”
However, this extra study time prepared him well to step into his current role as squad leader and floor supervisor for his Apache phase maintenance platoon. His daily dedication to excellence continues to make a positive impact on his unit.
Cantu says he hopes “to establish a legacy” during the remainder of his career as someone who leads from the front and invests in the knowledge of others.
“I hope to one day be able to pass down the knowledge that I will have gained over the years,” said Cantu. “I want to help other people succeed while building solid relationships, comradery and trust within my team.”
Cantu will receive the award at an official ceremony in May at the Boeing AH-64 Pant in Mesa, Arizona. | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/fort-hood-soldier-selected-for-aviation-award/ | 2022-04-14T16:54:28Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/fort-hood-soldier-selected-for-aviation-award/ | false | 6 |
AIIMS to start dedicated clinic for advanced Parkinson’s from Saturday
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is inaugurating a dedicated Parkinson’s Clinic from April 16 to help patients in advanced stages of Parkinson’s disease, doctors from the hospital said on Thursday.
Doctors from AIIMS said that the hospital has a movement disorder clinic, which also looks after patients with Parkinson’s disease. But this new clinic will focus on those who have reached the advanced stages of the disease.
The clinic will be headed by Dr Achal Kumar Srivastava, professor of Clinical Neurophysiology in the department of neurology, AIIMS.
“In the initial years of Parkinson’s disease, patients do very well with medicines but as time passes, the effect of medicines starts waning and after about eight-nine years nearly 80% of the patients face this. We call that motor fluctuation. At this time, we alter medication but that also does not last for very long,” said Dr Roopa Rajan, assistant professor, department of neurology, AIIMS.
Dr Rajan said that at this time, doctors offer a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation, which is a surgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes in the brain, which deliver electrical impulses that block or change the abnormal activity that causes symptoms.
“This is a standard procedure, but it requires detailed pre-operative and post-operative care. The patients need a psychologist, psychiatrist, movement expert etc., to give them the best results from the procedure. It is an exhaustive process and to provide this type of care we are starting this dedicated clinic,” she said.
Doctors said that this clinic will be a referral clinic, which will primarily have patients from AIIMS’ movement disorder clinic, but patients referred from other hospitals can also seek advanced care here. This will be a weekly clinic, open on Saturdays from 9am to 12pm, AIIMS administration confirmed. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/aiims-to-start-dedicated-clinic-for-advanced-parkinson-s-from-saturday-101649952689268.html | 2022-04-14T16:54:41Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/aiims-to-start-dedicated-clinic-for-advanced-parkinson-s-from-saturday-101649952689268.html | false | 2 |

Appeals court: Johnson & Johnson must pay $302 million in pelvic mesh case
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A California appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling that Johnson & Johnson must pay penalties to the state for deceptively marketing pelvic mesh implants for women, but reduced the amount by $42 million to $302 million.
Johnson & Johnson had appealed in 2020 after Superior Court Judge Eddie Sturgeon assessed the $344 million in penalties against Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ethicon.
Sturgeon found after a non-jury trial that the company made misleading and potentially harmful statements in hundreds of thousands of advertisements and instructional brochures for nearly two decades.
California’s Fourth District Court of Appeal issued a ruling Monday that $42 million in penalties assessed for the company’s sales pitches to doctors were unjustified because there was no evidence of what the sales representatives actually said.
But the appeals court said Sturgeon received ample evidence that Ethicon knowingly deceived both physicians and patients about the risks posed by its products, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Ryan Carbain, a Johnson & Johnson spokesperson, told the Chronicle that the company would appeal the appeals court ruling to the state Supreme Court.
The instructions for use in all of the company’s pelvic mesh implant packages “falsified or omitted the full range, severity, duration, and cause of complications associated with Ethicon’s pelvic mesh products, as well as the potential irreversibility and catastrophic consequences,” Presiding Justice Judith McConnell of the appeals court said in a 3-0 ruling upholding the $302 million in penalties.
She rejected the company’s claim that the fine was excessive, saying it amounted to less than 1% of Johnson & Johnson’s net worth of $70.4 billion.
The products, also called transvaginal mesh, are synthetic and surgically implanted through the vagina of women whose pelvic organs have sagged or who suffered from stress urinary incontinence when they cough, sneeze or lift heavy objects.
Many women have sued the New Jersey-based company alleging that the mesh caused severe pain, bleeding, infections, discomfort during intercourse and the need for removal surgery.
The condition is estimated to affect 3% to 17% of women, and it sometimes becomes severe after age 70.
Johnson & Johnson, the world’s biggest maker of health care products, is contesting other lawsuits over drug side effects, its role in the U.S. opioid epidemic and allegations its baby powder caused cancer in some users.

People are starting to get their Ontario licence plate sticker refund in the mail
Ontario licence plate sticker refunds are being processed this month and people have started receiving cheques from the government in the mail.
It was less than two months ago that Premier Doug Ford announced the elimination of licence plate renewal fees and a refund on any such fee paid over the past two years.
With the refunds arriving in the mail this week, Ontario residents have taken to social media to laugh about the absurdity of this blatantly obvious timing.
Many have referred to the refund as a "Doug Ford bribe" seeing it as the politician hoping that the extra cash in everyone's pocket will be enough to convince voters he deserves another term.
Hey my American friends. Did you know that @fordnation is outright attempting to buy Ontario votes? He canceled the minimal license plate sticker program fee. Then sent us all a refund check for the fees that we had already paid. Thanks Dougie! Still not voting for you. #OnPoli
— Fred Freaky Duarf (@tualgorithm) April 13, 2022
Some have even gone as far as taking the refund and donating it directly to the Liberal Party in an attempt to help get Ford out of office.
I was going to wait for my Doug Ford bribe aka license sticker rebate to come in so I could donate it to the Ontario Liberal Party, but decided to do it now as there is only 50 days to go.

Meanwhile, some are pointing out that they never even bought licence plate stickers and are receiving a refund anyways.
My girlfriend lived in Nova Scotia before the pandemic started, moved to Ontario in spring 2020, and paid for a one-year licence plate sticker at the time. She hasn’t renewed since, and she just received a $200 refund cheque.

A few politically savvy users were quick to point out the hypocrisy in a man trying to put money back into voter's pockets after removing paid sick days within days of taking office.
Got $420 cheque in the mail from the Province of Ontario. License plate sticker refund.
— Dave Bulmer 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 (@BulmerDave) April 13, 2022
Interestingly, that amounts to 3.5 days of paid sick leave for someone on minimum wage.
Choices. I know what mine would have been.
While others suggested the money could be better spent on increased C**ID testing throughout the province.
Ontario license plate sticker refund just came in.... iftar is on me tonight! 😅💵

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered Hinds County leaders to implement several changes at the Raymond Detention Center.
The ruling this week comes nearly a month after U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves said the jail will remain in civil contempt for the second time, WJTV-TV reported.
The new requirements include developing and implementing policies and procedures in areas where the jail has failed to provide proper conditions for prisoners, the TV station reported.
The judge also ordered Hinds County leaders to ensure the jail is overseen by a qualified jail administrator and a leadership team with substantial education, training and experience in the management of a large jail.
The county must also develop a training program that includes instruction on what constitutes excessive force, de-escalation tactics, methods of managing prisoners with mental illness to ways to avoid the use of force and defensive tactics.
The judge said the jail also must work on policies for sexual misconduct, investigations, and prisoners’ grievances.
The new injunction must be monitored by an individual approved by the court. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Federal-judge-Mississippi-jail-must-make-several-17080881.php | 2022-04-14T17:03:57Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Federal-judge-Mississippi-jail-must-make-several-17080881.php | true | 19 |
After experiencing a lackluster trip to the Disneyland Resort, one Guest shared their thoughts on the current state of the Disney Parks.

There’s no denying that since the COVID-19 pandemic took over the world, the Disney Parks have been operating in a completely different way than they did just a few short years ago. From virtual queues to shut down rides and attractions, the experience of visiting Disney World or Disneyland has fundamentally changed (and become more expensive).
Another issue Guests have been having is constant ride breakdowns. While visiting Walt Disney World as well as all the other Disney Parks and Resorts, Guests are faced with a seemingly endless amount of entertainment options. With classic rides like Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Haunted Mansion as well as new “state-of-the-art” attractions like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Guests have a lot to choose from.
Due to how complex some of the newer rides are, however, Guests may experience breakdowns or malfunctions while onboard. Recently, one Guest went to social media to vent about their super unlucky trip to the Parks, detailing all of the things that went wrong while riding a few attractions.
COVID-19 has not helped with ride breakdowns it seems as Guests are continuing to report evacuations and closures daily. In a post shared on Reddit, one Guest explained how disappointing their most recent trip to Disneyland was. In the long-winded pots, the Guest covered a lot of topics including Disney Genie, Crowds, mobile ordering, transportation, and of course, the current price of things. Here is a brief excerpt from the post shared by u/ChicagoMarketer:
Inflation, MaxPass going to Genie+, refurbishments, busted rides, rude cast members, I don’t know what it was but everything just felt a little off and everyone in my group said it was like we were at Six Flags but paying Disney prices to be treated so apathetically.
I’m disappointed, it used to be a great value because of all the intangibles you get when everyone is super positive and they try to be accommodating but if this is the new world order I’m going to wait a little longer before even thinking of coming back. It’s not an insignificant amount of money for a family of five to come to the park. I just don’t make enough money to come back and the return on MY investment of capital, of expectations, just isn’t there.

Those in the comments shared their own experiences and thoughts regarding what was stated in the post. One user said that the Disney experience has changed significantly. One user said that ride quality and reliability have been horrible over the last few months. Another user shared their frustration after waiting over an hour and a half in the queue for Rise of the Resistance just for it to break down.
One user said also said that Disneyland felt like Six Flags, commenting on how Space Mountain’s queue line was disgusting and dirty. Another said that everything inside the Disney Parks feels like a “cash grab”. Another said they felt “nickeled and dimed” throughout their time at the Park.
As they slowly get back on track, all of the Disney Parks are certainly struggling right now, but with demand and upkeep. Spring Break seemed to almost crush the Disney Parks, especially in Walt Disney World where we saw hoards of Guests trapped after transportation shut down. We can only hope things move to a more smooth operating process in the coming months with so many great things to look forward to.
In 2022, so much is happening and changing within the Disney Parks and Resorts. From new rides like the thrilling TRON coaster in the Magic Kingdom as well as the exciting Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT to the upcoming Mickey & Minnie Runaway Railway in Disneyland in Southern California, Disney Guests have a lot to look forward to this year.
How do you feel that the Disney Parks have changed over the last few years?

Food and Drink in Copenhagen
Copenhagen Street Food Market: Denmark's best fare is arguably its open-face sandwiches or smorrebrod and its legendary hot dogs, which can be bought from the many carts scattered throughout the city. Dining at a sit-down restaurant can be expensive there, so you might want to consider grabbing a bite at Copenhagen Street Food Market, a former warehouse and docking area now lined with food trucks for frugal and fun dining.
Torvehallerne: Another possibility is Torvehallerne, the city's covered food market, where food stalls and snack bars offer fresh fare and a lively atmosphere.
Nimb: Try Nimb, a beautifully restored historic structure at Tivoli Gardens that houses an upmarket boutique hotel, deli, market, restaurant and brasserie. Aim for the latter, which, although a bit pricey, offers fantastic views of the grounds. (You might even catch a performance while dining on the terrace.) The food is traditional Danish with a contemporary flair.
Fru Nimb Flaeskestegsbod: Looking for something a bit more basic and quick during your day at Tivoli? Pop into Fru Nimb Flaeskestegsbod for one of its tasty, inexpensive pork sandwiches.
Spcafeen: Another option at Tivoli is Socafeen for Danish sandwiches and cold beer, overlooking Tivoli Lake.
Restaurant Schonnemann: Our pick for the ultimate smorrebrod experience, this local favorite offers a medley of Danish open-face sandwiches, featuring a dark rye base with toppings like silky gravlax with mustard and dill or curried herring. They suggest you try three or four of these tapas-sized sandwiches and, of course, an aquavit. They've been doing this since 1877, and they've gotten it right. We suggest lunching on the late side to avoid crowds. (Hauser Plads 16; +45 3312 0785; open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Sundays)
Noma: Of course you've heard of this one. It's considered one of the top restaurants in the world and has been rated the absolute best in the world four times. Be prepared to have your taste buds challenged by Chef Rene Redzepi, who brings local cuisine to an elevated level, incorporating ingredients like forest ants (sprinkled atop steak tartar with celery oil) into his 20-course tasting menu. You might encounter squid and fennel served in an ice bowl, rhubarb creme fraiche and sorrel, as well as other creative pairings. Service is flawless. After your meal, tour the kitchens, including the fermentation lab. Yes, it's pricey -- currently 1,700 DKK (about $255 USD), including 25 percent VAT -- but if you're a committed foodie, you'll agree the splurge is worthwhile. Reservations are accepted three months in advance online at www.noma.dk/reservations/ or by phone from Mon to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (local time). (Refshalevej 96; +45 3296 3297; open Tuesday to Saturday, 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.)
Beaches in Copenhagen
North Zealand: For chilly dips, sunsets and sand beneath your feet, head about 38 miles out of town to the beaches of North Zealand. They include Gilleleje, Liseleje and Tisvildeleje. The easiest way to get to the North Zealand beaches is first by train to Helsingor, then by bus. If you've got time, check out any of the little resort towns along the coast. As a side note, North Zealand has more castles and palaces than any other region in Denmark. We highly recommend checking out at least one. Our favorite is Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerod, near Lake Slotso. It's as beautiful inside as it is from the outside; you'll tour dozens of rooms filled with magnificent tapestries, paintings and antiques.
Don't Miss in Copenhagen
Sightseeing Tours: An excellent option for general sightseeing is any one of several bus or canal tours. The nearly three-hour Grand Bus Tour that departs from Town Hall Square includes drive-by views of Tivoli, the Carlsberg Visitor Centre, Christiansborg Palace, the Danish Royal Theater, Nynhavn, Gefion Fountain, Grundtvig Church and Rosenborg Castle. There are short stops to see the Little Mermaid, the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace and the Church of Our Lady. The 1.5-hour-long hop-on, hop-off bus tour includes much of the same, but it offers an on/off option for those who wish to linger a bit longer at some of the stops. Tickets are good for 24 hours or 48 hours of use. For those who prefer to tour on foot, Copenhagen Free Walking Tours (three hours long) meet every day at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the steps of Town Hall Square and end near Amalienborg Palace.
Little Mermaid: The coyly reclining statue is quintessential Copenhagen, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen and sculpted by Edvard Eriksen in 1913. She has been decapitated three times and painted red by vandals, but she happily survived all this, due to the fact that her original mold exists, so body parts can be replaced if necessary.
SMK, The National Gallery of Denmark: The biggest museum in the country, this is where art from the 13th century to the present is exhibited. Works by Rubens, Rembrandt and Hals share the walls with Eckersberg, Kobke and Hansen. French 20th-century art includes 20 works by Matisse. Works by younger Danish and international contemporary artists are featured in the x-room. (Solvgade 48-50; free admission; open Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., closed Monday)
Tivoli Gardens: Since opening in 1843, this 20-acre park has delighted visitors. Set in the heart of the city, this charming park was said to be Walt Disney's inspiration for DisneyLand. More than 400,000 flowers (and almost as many sparkling lights after dark) are a colorful setting for amusement rides (including a high-speed roller coaster), live music, 40 restaurants and a fireworks display on Saturday nights. Don't miss the Pantomime Theater's evening performances of ballet and acrobatics, a beloved tradition since 1844. Tivoli is closed from mid-September until April, but opens for a few weeks prior to the Christmas holidays with a terrific Christmas market and the chance to channel your inner Hans Christian Andersen by ice-skating on the lake. (Vesterbrogade 3; open Sunday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
Amalienborg Palace: The four 18th-century French Rococo-style mansions that make up the palace grounds have been the homes of the Danish royal family since 1794. Watch the changing of the Royal Danish Guard at noon, when the royal family is at home. (You'll know they're home if the swallowtail flag is flying above the palace.) Capped in black bearskin busbies, the guards begin marching at 11:30 a.m. from the barracks by the Rosenborg Palace; the route varies depending upon which royal is in residence. For the Queen, it goes along Rosenborggade, Kobmargergade, Ostergade, Kongens Nytorv, Bredgage, Sct. Annae Plads and Amaliegade. When the princes are residing at the palace, but not as regents, the parade route is along Gothersgade, CHr.IX's Gade, Kr. Bernikowsgade, Kongens Nytorv, Bredgade, Fredericksgade and Amalienborg. After the change, they return along those same routes back to Rosenborg, accompanied by a band. Visitors have access to Christian VIII's Palace, since Queen Margrethe lives at Christian VII's. (Kobenhavn 1257; open daily from May to September, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Mondays from October to April)
Christiansborg Palace: Home to the Danish Parliament, the Supreme Court and the Royal Reception Rooms, the palace is a must-see. Take one of the guided tours (daily, noon to 4 p.m.) to see the Reception Rooms, the Royal Stables, the Great Hall (with the Queen's Tapestries) and Parliament. Also check out the ruins (daily, May to September, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Mondays October to April) of the 1167 castle of Bishop Absalon (founder of Copenhagen), located under the palace. (Christiansborg Slotsholmen)
Kastellet: A citadel constructed by King Frederik III in the 1660s and still with some of its original ramparts, this was the city's main fortress until the 18th century. During the Nazi occupation, it served as the Germans' headquarters. Though the Danish military occupies its buildings today, visitors can stroll the lovely grounds, including the five-point moat. (Langelinie; open daily, 6 a.m. to sunset)
Our Savior's Church (Vor Frelsers Kirke): If you're up for some exercise, trek the 400-step spiral steeple of the Baroque church to take in an amazing city view. Urban legend says the architect jumped from the steeple when he realized the winding staircase curved the wrong way. Save enough time to see the carved organ case. (Annaegade 29; open daily from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.)
National Museum of Denmark: Jam-packed with anthropological artifacts from the Upper Paleolithic period to the mid-19th century, the museum houses the largest collection of cultural artifacts in the country. The Viking stones and helmets are amazing, as are the 3,000-year-old Lur horns (among the oldest musical instruments in Europe) and the 3,500-year-old Sun Chariot. We recommend seeing the Royal Collection of Coins and Medals, too. (Ny Vestergade 10; free admission; open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
Rosenborg Castle: The 17th-century Renaissance-style castle was built as a summer home for Christian IV, who ruled from 1588 to 1648. Wait until you see the ivory coronation chairs and Frederik VII's baby shoes. Three silver lions guard the thrones of the king and queen, surrounded by tapestries that depict historic battle scenes between Denmark and Sweden. Rooms, chronologically arranged, feature royal family artifacts, including Christian IV's crown -- atwinkle with gold, diamonds and pearls -- and the crown jewels still worn by H.M. the Queen on special occasions. (Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during summer; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. September to October; Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. November and December)
Vor Frue Kirke Church: Be sure to see Bertel Thorvaldsen's statues of Christ and the 12 apostles at the neoclassical 11th-century church. Visitors are not permitted to enter during religious services or other events.
Copenhagen Amber Museum: Apart from the largest chunk of amber in the world, the museum has an excellent collection of amber embedded with insects, plants and other prehistoric material. There's a shop downstairs where you can buy high-quality amber jewelry. (Kongens Nytorv 2; open daily, May to September, 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; daily, October to April, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.)
Visit Carlsberg: Got beer? Beyond a brewery tour, this stop pays homage to the famous Danish beer (launched in 1847) with a sculpture garden, horses in harness and the world's largest collection of unopened beer bottles from around the globe. Of course there are beer samplings and tastings; the brew house is also a popular place to have lunch. (Gamle Carlsberg Vej 11; open daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Mondays from October to May)
Danish Jewish Museum: Designed by Daniel Libeskind (who also designed New York City's Freedom Tower at the site of the former World Trade Center), the museum is located in the former Royal Boathouse built by Christian IV in 1598. Exhibits highlight Jewish life in Denmark, including culture, art and history, extending back to the first Jewish immigration 400 years ago. (Access through Proviantpassagen from Christians Borg and Christians Brygge; open June to August: Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; September to May, Tuesday to Friday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.)
Kronborg: Some say Kronborg is the greatest castle in the country; it's located about 40 minutes from Copenhagen (reachable by train). The "Elsinore Castle" of Shakespeare's Hamlet, this UNESCO World Heritage monument was built between 1574 and 1585. With its soaring towers and grand ballroom, Kronborg is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. In August, it hosts a Shakespeare festival. (open daily April to May, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; June to August, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; September to October, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
Open Air Museum: Head to Lyngby, on the outskirts of Copenhagen, to see this lovely reconstructed village, spread out on nearly 90 acres. Consider it good exercise to stroll the two miles around the compound. Don't-miss exhibits include a half-timbered 18th-century farmstead from one of Denmark's tiny islands, a primitive longhouse from the Faroe Islands and thatched fishermen's huts from Jutland. (Kongevejen 100, Lyngby; open daily May to June: Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; July to mid-August: Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; mid-August to mid-October: Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; closed mid-October until Easter, but open weekends during Christmas season)
Royal Stables: At what have been the actual stables of the Royal Family since 1778, you'll see riders exercising the royal horses on your visit. Check out the Harness Room to see old uniforms, an ornate eight-horse harness and the Royal Family's carriage. Inside the Coach Hall are old but well-preserved state coaches and carriages. (Christiansborg Ridebane 12; open Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m.) | https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/shore-excursions/port/75/ | 2022-04-14T17:06:47Z | https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/shore-excursions/port/75/ | false | 3 |

A wind-driven blaze believed to have killed two people and that burned at least 200 homes and other structures in New Mexico.
The blaze in the Village of Ruidoso was fueled by winds between 50 and 90 mph on Tuesday.
Authorities have ordered or advised up to 4,500 people to evacuate.
Airtankers resumed an aerial attack on the fire Wednesday after high winds kept them grounded much of the day.
Authorities say that they are working to confirm the identities of the people who died.
The fire has reportedly burned more than 5,7000 acres and is 0% contained.
A state of emergency has been declared for Ruidoso. | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/2-killed-in-new-mexico-wildfire | 2022-04-14T17:12:08Z | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/2-killed-in-new-mexico-wildfire | true | null |

The Pittsburgh Pirates and All-Star center fielder Bryan Reynolds have avoided arbitration, agreeing to a two-year deal worth $13.5 million.
A person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press the deal runs through 2023 and will pay $6.75 million per season. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was not announced. A formal announcement is expected later Thursday.
Reynolds and the Pirates were scheduled to go to arbitration after failing to come to an agreement on a one-year deal for 2022. Reynolds asked for $4.9 million, with Pittsburgh countering with $4.25 million.
The 27-year-old Reynolds has blossomed with the Pirates after coming over in the January 2018 trade that sent center fielder Andrew McCutchen to San Francisco. Reynolds reached the majors in 2019 and moved to center field in 2021, hitting .302 with 24 homers and 90 RBIs while becoming an above-average defender.
Reynolds is batting .227 with one home run in five games so far this season for Pittsburgh. The Pirates are off to a 2-3 start heading into Thursday night's game against Washington.
The agreement comes two days after Pittsburgh signed third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to an eight-year, $70 million contract.

MONTREAL - Quebec is reporting 26 more deaths attributed to the novel coronavirus today and a 94-patient jump in COVID-19 hospitalizations.
Health authorities say there are 2,154 people in hospital with the disease after 282 patients were admitted in the past 24 hours and 188 were discharged.
There are 96 patients listed in intensive care, an increase of 13 patients.
Health officials are reporting 3,190 new infections confirmed by PCR testing, adding that 16.5 per cent of test conducted Wednesday were positive.
Officials say 12,995 health-care workers are absent due to COVID-19.
Health Minister Christian Dubé told reporters today in Quebec City the next two weeks will be difficult in the province's hospitals, as the health system manages an unusual spring influenza wave in addition to a sixth COVID-19 wave.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 14, 2022. | https://www.pentictonherald.ca/news/national_news/quebec/article_c616cb17-d290-508b-9800-57dd8ab7a9af.html | 2022-04-14T17:20:03Z | https://www.pentictonherald.ca/news/national_news/quebec/article_c616cb17-d290-508b-9800-57dd8ab7a9af.html | true | 4 |
Investors in YPF SA (Symbol: YPF) saw new options become available today, for the June 17th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the YPF options chain for the new June 17th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $5.00 strike price has a current bid of 25 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $5.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $4.75 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of YPF, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $5.18/share today.
Because the $5.00 strike represents an approximate 3% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 5.00% return on the cash commitment, or 28.52% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for YPF SA, and highlighting in green where the $5.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $6.00 strike price has a current bid of 10 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of YPF stock at the current price level of $5.18/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $6.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 17.76% if the stock gets called away at the June 17th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if YPF shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for YPF SA, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing YPF's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $6.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $6.00 strike represents an approximate 16% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 1.93% boost of extra return to the investor, or 11.01% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 254 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $5.18) to be 50%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Nubble Lighthouse art: Teen's artwork of Maine landmark draws raves
YORK, Maine — A rose laid in front of the Nubble Lighthouse — to 16-year-old Owen Clark — represents life and death, as well as the end of love.
Now, Clark’s drawing will be for sale at the Nubble Lighthouse gift shop and Whispering Sands gift shop this summer. It garnered attention after appearing last year on the cover of his father’s children’s book, “The Nubble Lighthouse is Special to Me Because.” Clark has since sold numerous prints online and is excited to see the drawing go to retail store shelves, signifying growth in his young career as an illustrator.
“I’m feeling excited, and I can’t wait to see what happens,” Clark said.
Previous story:Children's book illustrates love for Nubble Lighthouse from near and far
His father, Jody Clark, said he was eager to give his son a platform through his books, for which he has spent several years building a following online. The father-son duo released their first children’s book “York Beach Through the Eyes of a Child” two years ago.

Expressing himself through art
Clark has been drawing since he could walk, he says, and over time has gotten into making music, writing and film work. He also posted a short film this week called “Death’s Library” on YouTube, based on a short story he had previously published in the magazine “Epoch.” He created the music and edited the film himself.
In school, where many kids are interested in sports, he said he finds his identity in his art. He has been outspoken about bullying, having posted an open letter on Facebook to classmates about how cruel words and ostracizing drove him to contemplate suicide. The letter went viral, and Clark was interviewed on Maine’s NBC affiliate News Center Maine.

Clark said his artwork has helped him discover his own courage and empowerment.
“I’m really in the corner of the classroom focusing on drawing,” Clark said. “I feel like my art definitely reflects how I’m feeling, or what I’m inspired by at that time.”
The meaning behind the rose
Roses like the one in his drawing are a central part of Clark’s artistic identity. He hides roses in many of his drawings, and he also decorates his room with roses.
“It’s the beauty in them,” Clark said. “They’re delicate, but they also have thorns.”
Clark’s drawing of the Nubble was originally a photo he took. He added the rose when he made the illustration.
When his father’s book featuring the drawing was released, his father said he got requests for prints of the drawing. The rose, he said, seemed central to people’s interest. Many equated it with the memory of their late loved ones.
“So many people reached out to me about his drawing, and they had their own stories. ‘That reminds me of my grandmother’s ashes up at the Nubble, we always come up and lay a rose,’” Clark’s father said. “That’s when they started asking me, ‘Would you sell prints of that drawing?’”

The number of requests added up until this year when they decided it was time to sell the drawing online. They have since added canvas by request, and recently sold four canvas pieces for $200 to one buyer. Orders have been placed with the Nubble Lighthouse gift shop as well as Whispering Sands at York Beach.
Clark’s father Jody said it is not easy to find an original take on the Nubble given how ubiquitous it is in local artwork.
“There’s a million drawings of the Nubble,” Jody Clark said. He is inspired by his son’s ambition and talent and looks forward to seeing where it takes him.
“Whether it’s his drawing, his music, whatever he’s doing, the amount of people that see it and have commented,” Jody Clark said, “it’s pretty mind-blowing.” | https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/2022/04/14/nubble-lighthouse-art-teens-artwork-maine-landmark-draws-raves/7285296001/ | 2022-04-14T17:21:17Z | https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/2022/04/14/nubble-lighthouse-art-teens-artwork-maine-landmark-draws-raves/7285296001/ | false | 1 |

Fitness & Wellness Day, a beautiful day of celebration at Capelli
It was needed. Of a day like this, in the name of health, beauty, physical activity, solidarity and – above all – sociality. Because then, let’s face it frankly, with an average maximum weight to carry around and a height not like a basketball player, sporting activity is beautiful if it is that of others. The Fitness & Wellness Day organized on Sunday at the Casalmaggiore Hair Dealer was a great blow to life for everyone. It was needed, after two years bricked up due to Covid, in a time – the current one – certainly not clear: between morning and afternoon (above all), in the dealership, a lot of people really passed. There were various athletes, small and not so young, who followed one another in the hall with their performances: gymnastics, dance, pole dance, fitness, martial arts. Everyone went out of their way to make the day truly special. And all those companies that have decided to be part of the party have also given their own.
Always excellent organization, daughter of the spirit of Capelli, in which nothing from commercial activity to (like this case the fun) is put down at random: Silvia Capelli, Nicolò Daolio and all the boys (young and old, it doesn’t matter ) went to great lengths to make sure everything went as it went. We went there in the afternoon, we walked around the internal stands, and the beauty (really the best among many things) was the atmosphere of familiarity with those who were there to show their business or their products. Side by side and often at each other’s stand. Even and only to have a chat, even and only for a joke.
It was needed. A little movement (actually we didn’t do much), a little celebration, a little joy, a lot of people who came and then left, maybe (and this is our case undoubtedly) with some extra smile. Everyone made the party a good party. Everyone collaborated and participated simply putting a little bit of themselves into it. The Dealership, its guys and its employees also put their passion and organization into it.
All parties should be like this. In the end, it doesn’t matter if fitness and wellness are difficult subjects for some, including us. We understand (we nourish ourselves and we constantly need them) the serenity and the smiles, and we have really seen so many and this is enough for us.

The Gordon Central High School track and field team had some athletes do very well at the recent County Line Championship just before Spring Break.
While the boys and girls teams did rack up some first places in the relay races, they also had two individual firsts on the girls side to highlight their efforts.
The girls' team's best event was the 800-meter run, where Gordon Central was first and second with Alicia Dela Cruz winning the race (2:39.72) and she was just ahead of teammate Jessica Gutierrez (2:40.32) as those two girls were close to each other the entire way.
The Warriors actually ended that event with three of the first six places as Ana Organista came in sixth, giving the Warriors 16 points alone in that event.
Junior high jumper Kayla Caudill was the other Gordon Central gold medalist and Caudill won her specialty -- the high jump -- with a personal best of 4 feet, 9 inches. She went three inches higher than the 4-6 distance that was second.
In the relays, the Warriors had a pair of second places. They were the runner-up in the 4-x-100-meter (52.25) and in the 4-x-200 meters (1:53.76).
The Dalton girls won both of those races, and the 400 relay was extremely close with the Lady Catamounts running a 53.09. In the 800-meters, the Lady Cats had the only time below a minute and 50 seconds and Gordon Central was two seconds faster than third-place Calhoun.
Besides her second in the 800-m, Gutierrez completed an excellent day in the distance races with a third place finish in the 1,600-meter run or the mile. Gutierrez ran a 6:49.03 for the bronze medal.
Gordon Central had one other individual third place and it came from junior Meredith Campuzano in the discus. She had a distance of 94 feet, eight inches in a field where she was less than a foot away from the second place distance of 95 feet, four inches.
The team also had two individual fourth places and two more fifths.
Katerine Queda Hernandez was fourth in the 3,200-meter run to complete a strong showing by the Lady Warriors in the distance events. Hernandez ran a 15:54.27.
Jessica Ullman came in fourth in the shotput for GC, finishing with a distance of 30 feet even. She was also the last girl in a field of nearly 20 competitors that went 30 feet or beyond as the winning distance was a 37-2.
Arwen Boyle was fifth in the pole vault at 6-foot-6 and there was tie for third place with two girls going over the bar at seven feet. The winning distance was eight-feet even.
Junior Cassie Chastain also placed fifth in the 200-meter run for the Lady Warriors' highest finish in the sprints. Chastain ran a 27.72 time.
The Gordon Centrail girls were also fifth in the 4-x-400 relay, running a 5:11.06 | https://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/calhoun_times/warriors-track-team-has-high-finishes/article_c98166c6-bc0a-11ec-aeac-97df4be43fbe.html | 2022-04-14T17:24:26Z | https://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/calhoun_times/warriors-track-team-has-high-finishes/article_c98166c6-bc0a-11ec-aeac-97df4be43fbe.html | true | 1 |

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Netflix has announced new recurring cast members for Season 3 of the hit fantasy series The Witcher, including Robbie Amell, Hugh Skinner, Meng'er Zhang, and Christelle Elwin. While little is known about the upcoming season, the new character details do tease the next adventure for Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) and Ciri (Freya Allan).
According to Netflix, Amell will be playing Gallatin, the leader of an army of guerrilla Scoia’tael, a group mainly composed of elves and dwarves fighting discrimination against nonhuman characters. Gallatin is described as a loyal and fair warrior, and in the upcoming season, he’ll be leading his people against the evil sorceress Francesca Findabair. Zhang will also play a skilled warrior in Season 3, as she takes the part of Milva, a human adopted by the dryads of Brokilon Forest. Since she grew up in the woods, Milva had to learn how to defend herself from danger, which shaped her to be a formidable archer with a stone-cold heart.
On the political side of the show, Skinner joins Season 3 as Prince Radovid, the younger brother to King Vizimir, who becomes a part of Redanian Intelligence. Radovid is used to charming people with his good looks, which might give him the edge in his new spy job. Finally, Elwin will play the part of Mistle, a member of the street gang known as The Rats. These misfit teenagers steal exclusively from the wealthy, which points out how Mistle is a thief with a moral code to guide her.
The Witcher quickly became one of Netflix’s most successful original productions upon its release in 2019. Even though the production of season two came to a halt due to the pandemic, the franchise keeps growing strong on the streaming platform, with the animated feature The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf spin-off released last August. There is also a prequel series currently in production, The Witcher: Blood Origin, which revealed its first teaser in a mid-credits scene during the second season of The Witcher last December.
Season 2 of The Witcher brought Geralt back as the warrior continued to train Ciri in combat and in her domain of magic, forging her into the warrior she’s bound to become. Season three will adapt The Time of Contempt, the second entry in Andrzej Sapkowski’s five-book series, The Witcher Saga. Although the show is based on Sapkowski’s novels, each season has mixed up the original material, which should also happen with Season 3. That’s because one of the main recurring characters just announced, Gallatin, is neither part of the original books nor the famous videogame franchise inspired by it.

New leak outlines what to expect from Pixel 7 and 7 Pro camera
1Google not only made a chip for its 2021 flagship phones - the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro - but also gave them a makeover. On top of that, the company also equipped the handsets with new camera hardware. By comparison, this year's Pixel 7 may sound a little less exciting, especially on the camera front.
The Pixel 6 features a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide unit and the Pro also has a third 48MP telephoto unit with 4x optical zoom. Leaker Yogesh Brar, who has a decent track record, says the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, codenamed Cheetah and Panther, respectively, will inherit the camera setups of their predecessors.
Google has never relied solely on hardware to make the Pixel handsets the best camera phones anyway, so we can still expect meaningful improvements. Brar adds that the Mountain View giant will likely optimize the sensors to get better performance out of them and a lot of the heavy lifting will be done by software.
The Pixel 7 duo is also likely to largely retain the design of the outgoing series, including the camera bar running across the width of the body, with the exception that the edges will now be flush with the band of the phones for a more refined look. Leaked renders had also indicated that the new series could sport bigger lenses.
The standard model is expected to have a 6.3-inches display, which would make it slightly smaller than the 6.4-inches Pixel 6. The Pixel 7 Pro is rumored to use the same 6.7-inches display as the 6 Pro. Most other details are still under wraps and before these flagship phones, we are likely to see the budget Pixel 6a in May during the I/O conference.
The handsets will apparently be powered by the second-generation Tensor chip and will be revealed in October alongside the Pixel Watch. | https://www.phonearena.com/news/pixel-7-pro-camera-specs_id139633 | 2022-04-14T17:29:31Z | https://www.phonearena.com/news/pixel-7-pro-camera-specs_id139633 | false | 1 |
MANILA — Actress and philanthropist Angel Locsin shared a rare sultry snap Thursday as she documented her vacation at the beach.
On her social media pages, Locsin posted the snap which sees her wearing a black swimsuit.
She tagged her location as a luxury resort in Boracay.
“Resting beach face,” she captioned the photo.
Locsin’s post drew a flood of comments noticing her voluptuous figure.
Locsin has been open about her fitness journey, saying that her weight does not measure her value as a person.
“Darating din tayo diyan; kung papayat ka, papayat ka. But it’s not an issue,” she said in a March interview with Ogie Diaz.
“Ang pagiging Angel Locsin ko ay hindi nasusukat kung gaano ako kabigat.” | https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/14/22/look-angel-locsin-goes-sultry-in-beach-snap | 2022-04-14T17:30:08Z | https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/14/22/look-angel-locsin-goes-sultry-in-beach-snap | false | null |

Insider Weekends: Content Is King
Summary
- Insider buying increased last week.
- Notable Insider Buys: Fox Corporation, News Corporation, HC2 Holdings, Inc., GoHealth, Inc., Apartment Investment and Management Company.
- Notable Insider Sells: Walmart Inc., Facebook, Inc., Zillow Group, Inc., Workday, Inc., Moelis & Company.
We have heard the phrase "content is king" over the years and while it had a nice ring to it, you rarely saw this reflected in valuations of private or public companies that were focused on the creation of content. This changed in the recent past. Long suffering companies that have a deep library of original content or that produce new original content on a consistent basis are finally being rewarded by investors. Cord cutting finally got baked into the investment thesis and these companies are now benefiting from all the new distribution channels that have cropped up.
I used the market dislocation last year to add to positions in content companies like Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF.A) or start new positions in companies like Discovery (DISCA). After a big run-up in Discovery on optimism around the launch of Discovery+, I exited the position but it was interesting to see that an insider was buying despite the near doubling of the stock price. John Malone was spot on with his insider purchase of Discovery in late 2019 when he felt that the stock was very cheap and we discussed that purchase in a post titled Insider Weekends: John Malone Purchases $75 Million Of Discovery. Over the course of the year after his purchase, the stock got significantly cheaper and it was possible to buy it in high teens or the low $20s.
Discovery Insider Purchase Tweet
We are now seeing insider buying in a plethora of other content focused companies including the documentary focused streaming company CuriosityStream (CURI) as well as the old guard like Fox and News Corp as discussed below.
Insider buying increased last week with insiders purchasing $100.17 million of stock purchased compared to $64.69 million in the week prior. After three weeks of selling that topped the $4 billion mark, insider selling moderated a little with insiders selling $3.55 billion of stock last week compared to $4.4 billion in the week prior.
Sell/Buy Ratio:
The insider Sell/Buy ratio is calculated by dividing the total insider sales in a given week by total insider purchases that week. The adjusted ratio for last week dropped to 35.42. In other words, insiders sold more than 35 times as much stock as they purchased. The Sell/Buy ratio this week compares favorably with the prior week when the ratio stood at an unusually high 68.04.
Note: As mentioned in the first post in this series, certain industries have their preferred metrics such as same store sales for retailers, funds from operations (FFO) for REITs and revenue per available room (RevPAR) for hotels that provide a better basis for comparison than simple valuation metrics. However, metrics like Price/Earnings, Price/Sales and Enterprise Value/EBITDA included below should provide a good starting point for analyzing the majority of stocks.
Notable Insider Buys:
1. Fox Corporation (FOX): $40.35
Chairman Keith Rupert Murdoch acquired 500,000 shares of Fox Corporation, paying $42.77 per share for a total amount of $21.38 million. These shares were purchased indirectly by a trust.
2. News Corporation (NWS): $25.13
Executive Chairman Keith Rupert Murdoch acquired 500,000 shares of News Corporation, paying $26.05 per share for a total amount of $13.02 million. These shares were purchased indirectly by a trust.
3. HC2 Holdings, Inc. (HCHC): $4.06
Shares of this construction and engineering company were acquired by 2 insiders:
- Director Avram A. Glazer acquired 2,164,108 shares, paying $3.80 per share for a total amount of $8.22 million. These shares were purchased indirectly by a trust.
- President and CEO Wayne Barr Jr. acquired 7,500 shares, paying $3.66 per share for a total amount of $27,425. Mr. Barr increased his stake by 2.90% to 266,219 shares with this purchase.
4. GoHealth, Inc. (GOCO): $12
Shares of this health insurance marketplace and digital health company were acquired by 3 insiders:
- Chief Executive Officer Clinton P. Jones acquired 178,000 shares, paying $11.38 per share for a total amount of $2.03 million. These shares were purchased indirectly by BCCJ, LLC.
- Director Anita Pramoda acquired 10,370 shares, paying $9.99 per share for a total amount of $103,596. Ms. Pramoda increased her stake by 87.11% to 22,275 shares with this purchase.
These are the first insider purchases at GoHealth since its IPO at $21 per share in June 2020. The stock traded as high as $26.25 on its first day of trading before beginning a month's long decline that saw the stock price cut in half during the next six months.
Based on a cursory look at the company and its fourth quarter 2020 earnings presentation, the company looks interesting and I look forward to digging into it more to see if it could become the spotlight idea for our April newsletter for premium subscribers. The eight spotlight ideas in our model portfolio have generated average gains of over 40% (not annualized).
5. Apartment Investment and Management Company (AIV): $5.54
Director Terry Considine acquired 300,000 shares of this apartment development company, paying $5.71 per share for a total amount of $1.71 million. These shares were purchased indirectly by a retirement plan.
AIMCO split into two companies last December when it spun off its apartments portfolio into a separate REIT called Apartment Income REIT Corp. (AIRC). The remaining AIMCO business is now focused on development and redevelopment. The move was opposed by the activist investor Jonathan Litt but the company proceeded with this split-off.

Meta Expected To Take Nearly 50% Cut of Horizon Worlds Sales — How Charges Stack Up
Meta announced it will begin to test several new tools that will enable creators to experiment with different ways to monetize what they’re building in Horizon Worlds. “While we’re launching this today as a test with a handful of creators to get their feedback, these types of tools are steps toward our long-term vision for the metaverse where creators can earn a living and people can purchase digital goods, services, and experiences,” Meta said in a blog post earlier this week.

Meta said that creators will be able to sell virtual items and effects, “for example, someone could make and sell attachable accessories for a fashion world or offer paid access to a new part of a world.”
However, CNBC reported that what Meta failed to say in the post is that it will take an overall cut of up to 47.5% on each transaction. That includes a “hardware platform fee” of 30% for sales made through the Meta Quest Store, where it sells apps and games for its virtual reality headsets. On top of that, Horizon Worlds will charge a 17.5% fee, according to CNBC.
DappRadar explains that a further nuance to this is that the items being discussed through the Meta platform may not be NFT items and instead just virtual clothes and game skins, which is more akin to Roblox, where creators can sell on their marketplace. “Still, an almost 50% tax seems unfair, especially when we consider that fees on platforms such as Opensea and LooksRare are a fraction of the amount,” it said.
By comparison, the Apple App store charges creators a 30% tax on in-game item sales, which makes up the bulk of revenue for free-to-play app creators. However, established NFT marketplace fees are far lower, ranging from a high of 20% to a low of 2.5% for the marketplaces, according to DappRadar. The Decentraland marketplace fee for example, is just 2.5%, which is 45% lower than Meta’s expected charge.

The crypto community was quick to react and took to Twitter to voice its discontent with the fees. “If Meta wants 47.5% of NFT sales they gotta talk to the IRS because I don’t even have that after taxes,” Twitter user @notthreadguy wrote.
“The future of work is giving Meta 47.5% of your salary, apparently,” @6529 tweeted.
Interestingly, Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in November, “As we build for the metaverse, we’re focused on unlocking opportunities for creators to make money from their work. The 30% fees that Apple takes on transactions make it harder to do that, so we’re updating our Subscriptions product so now creators can earn more.”

ATLANTA (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets were delayed getting to the arena Wednesday for their NBA play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks.
By a freight train, of all things.
Tracks run all around State Farm Arena, a remnant of a time when the area was the site of the city’s two major passenger stations. Both stations were torn down decades ago, but many of the tracks that remain are still frequented by freight trains running near the heart of downtown Atlanta.
One of those trains stopped on a crossing before the game, blocking the Hornets’ chartered buses from reaching the players’ entrance on the bottom level of the arena. The buses were forced to turn around and find an alternate route to the arena. They were delayed about 15 minutes.
Apparently, it slowed the Hornets’ offense. Atlanta routed Charlotte 132-103.
“I’ve never seen that,” Hornets coach James Borrego said. “I’ve been coming to this arena for 20 years, and I’ve never seen a train stop before the game.”
He seemed to imply that the Hawks had something to do with the freight train stopping at the crossing.
“Somebody figure it out. I have no idea,” Borrego said. “But our guys noticed.”
He said the delay fired up the Hornets, However, the Hawks outscored the Hornets 42-24 in the third quarter during a 12-minute barrage, hitting 16 of 24 shots, and led 102-76 heading to the final period.
The 10th-seeded Hornets were looking to earn their way into the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

People are filing back into Kyiv. Against expectations, traffic has returned to Ukraine's capital city as some shops reopen. More than 800,000 Ukrainians who had left the country when Russia attacked have reportedly returned. Some are back to fight the Russians, while others are determined to carry on as Ukrainians. All are heroes.
The morning after a gunman shot at least 10 people in a crowded Brooklyn subway car, the locals in Sunset Park were seen calmly going off to work. That included many descending into the station where the outrage took place.
This is how you frustrate terrorists. You can't bring back those who are killed or end the suffering of the wounded, but you can deprive the terrorist of the power to disrupt your life through fear.
What is terrorism? The official definition is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. Both Russia and the suspect in the subway shooting claim to have political motives -- and their intention was clearly to spread fear. Officials still tend to see terrorism as the work of foreign radical groups.
Whether the intimidator is ISIS or Vladimir Putin or some demented individual posting rants on YouTube, the effective way to beat them is the same: to deprive them the satisfaction of upending your daily life.
We saw city councilwoman Alexa Aviles standing near the site of the terror and bloodshed not 24 hours before. Behind her people trudged to work, not seeming to even notice the news cameras.
"As you can see," Aviles said, "New Yorkers need to go to work. They need to bring their children to school."
Sunset Park is a largely working-class community of immigrants who showed up for jobs throughout the pandemic, she added. They are health care workers. They deliver packages. "We have to continue to have our city run," she said in quiet defiance.
And several passengers in the smoky subway car, rather than run away, stayed back to help the injured. Some used their jackets to make tourniquets to stop the bleeding. Similar signs of civic cohesion followed other incidents.
In 2010, the Times Square bomber, a terrorist from Connecticut, set off an explosion. He was caught, and shortly after, the mobs were back on Times Square.
In 2016, a man from New Jersey set off a pressure cooker bomb in the downtown neighborhood of Chelsea. The streets there returned to normal in hours.
In 2017, another New Jersey resident plowed his truck along a bike path in lower Manhattan, killing eight people. The morning after, mothers pushing strollers were back on the path.
Those examples involved immigrants with personal problems. That they were allegedly inspired by radical Islam made the terrorism label easier to stick.
The suspect in the subway shooting, though, is American-born, living in Wisconsin or Philadelphia. Frank R. James' diatribes against Black women, Mayor Eric Adams and whites in Ukraine point to another seriously cracked psyche.
James has no apparent ties to New York City. What could have attracted him, as well as the other out-of-towners, to choose the city for their rampage is New York's status as a big stage set drawing international attention.
And we can go back to the most serious terrorist obscenity of all, the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that took down the World Trade Center towers. It took a while, but the city came back from that as well. The site is now a major tourist attraction.
Ukrainians' refusal to let Putin intimidate them should be an inspiration to us all. New Yorkers have done their small part in facing down fear. The terrorists lose by not changing us.

Despite a 2018 pledge to program more films by female filmmakers, the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday announced a competition lineup with only three films directed by women.
While additional films could still be added to the slate for next month’s festival, the Cannes lineup falls short of the already dismal record of the last two editions. In 2019 and 2021, the festival featured four films by female directors.
This year’s 18 competition films include Claire Denis’ “Stars at Noon,” American director Kelly Reichardt’s drama “Showing Up” and Italian-French actress-director Valeria Bruni Tedeschi’s “The Almond Tree.”
In the Un Certain Regard section, devoted to films with less visibility than the main competition entries, eight of the 15 films are from female directors, including “Beast” from Riley Keough and Gina Gammell.
Four years ago, Cannes general delegate Thierry Fremaux, Directors’ Fortnight artistic director Edouard Waintrop and Critics’ Week head Charles Tesson became the first signatories of the Programming Pledge for Parity and Inclusion in Cinema Festivals, which was drawn up by the French gender-parity group 50/50 by 2020.
Up to that point, only 82 women had had films in the main competition in the 71 years of the festival, compared to more than 1,600 men.
The festival will open on May 17 and run through May 28. The dates mark a return to Cannes’ usual May slot after it was canceled in 2020 and moved into July in 2021 because of the pandemic. | https://centralrecorder.com/only-3-films-by-female-directors-in-cannes-competition-lineup-despite-2018-gender-parity-pledge/ | 2022-04-14T17:35:43Z | https://centralrecorder.com/only-3-films-by-female-directors-in-cannes-competition-lineup-despite-2018-gender-parity-pledge/ | false | 2 |

KCON 2022 Premiere will begin in South Korea in May, and it will continue in other countries, including the US and Japan. The first show of the premiere series will be held in Seoul. The next event will take place in Tokyo, and the third event venue is in Chicago. CJ ENM has shared some details about this event, including the lineup. The organizers are planning to feature a good mixup of K-pop groups and fourth-generation artists for the program.
The convention and music festival, organized to celebrate Korean pop culture and entertainment, will be held as an in-person event this year. It will include concerts by famous k-pop artists, and the music lovers are eagerly waiting for it. The music festival and convention will take place as an offline event for the first time in two years.
It is organized as a special event to celebrate the festival's 10th anniversary and to commemorate its reemergence from the pandemic. So, the lineup of performing artists for every venue will be different.

"This year, fans will be able to experience an upgraded version of KCON, packed with new content reflecting the trends of Gen Z fans and programs tailored for local fans, on top of original fan-favorite programming and panels unique to KCON," he added.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s central bank on Thursday kept its main interest rate unchanged for a fourth month even as surging inflation has hit a 20-year high and eroded people’s purchasing power.
In a statement following a monetary policy committee meeting, the bank said it was keeping its policy rate “constant” at 14%.
The decision was in line with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s opposition to high borrowing costs in a bid to boost growth, investment and exports. The Turkish leader insists that raising interest rates cause inflation — a position that contradicts established economic thinking.
Turkey’s central bank has cut rates by 5 percentage points since September despite high inflation, then has paused them since January. The series of rate cuts last year triggered a currency crisis and rising consumer pricesthat have been aggravated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and soaring energy costs.
Yearly inflation hit 61.14% in March, deepening the squeeze on households that were already struggling to purchase basic goods. The Turkish lira lost 44% of its value against the U.S. dollar last year.
In an effort to soften the blow on households, the government has implemented tax cuts on basic goods and has adjusted electricity tariffs.
In comparison, the United States, United Kingdom and the 19 countries that use the euro currency have seen decades-high levels of inflation — 8.5%, 7% and 7.5%, respectively — but are nowhere close to Turkey’s eye-watering rate. Central banks in the U.S. and U.K. have raised interest rates to combat inflation. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/business-news/turkeys-central-bank-keeps-rate-steady-amid-high-inflation/ | 2022-04-14T17:40:47Z | https://www.fox44news.com/news/business-news/turkeys-central-bank-keeps-rate-steady-amid-high-inflation/ | true | 38 |
DNC officials approve plan to change states for first presidential primaries
(CNN) - Democratic Party officials approved a plan Wednesday that could shake up the presidential primary calendar.
The big unknown is which states will get to hold their primaries first in 2024.
The Democratic National Committee’s new plan does away with the current, traditional set of early states: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.
The updated process would prioritize more diverse battleground states that hold primaries, not caucuses.
States would apply for early primaries, and party officials would pick up to five to go before Super Tuesday.
Those four traditional early states can apply to keep their places.
However, Iowa’s spot would be especially threatened, in part because the largely white state is no longer a battleground.
Also, it is required by state law to hold caucuses.
State parties must submit applications by June 3.
The rules committee will decide in July, and final approval is in August or September.

Russian ships rejected at Danish ports
Russian ships will be rejected at Danish ports from Saturday, according to newswire Ritzau.
In a statement on the Danish Transport Authority website, it said that Russian ships would not be allowed to dock in Danish ports after 16th April, as a consequence of a new EU sanctions package.
The European sanctions package is the fifth in a row after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February.
According to TV 2 Lorry, Russian ships call at Danish ports around 250 times a year. 170 of them are in Frederiksværk, where NLMK DanSteel is located.
The ban does not apply to ships that need help, are saving lives or maintaining safety.
More people in work in Denmark than before coronavirus
More people are in work in Denmark than before the coronavirus crisis, according to analysis from the Danish Chamber of Commerce, reports newswire Ritzau.
During the lockdowns in Denmark, unemployment rose sharply and a record number of people were out of work. But now the trend has reversed.
Out of the country’s 98 municipalities, 90 today have more jobs than in the fourth quarter of 2019, and there are 115,000 more employees in Denmark, which is an increase of 4.1 percent.
Ringsted and Brøndby top the list of municipalities with the most jobs. According to the Danish Chamber of Commerce, this may be due to the fact that there are several large companies in those municipalities.
Easter celebrations begin
Easter celebrations begin in Denmark today, on Maundy Thursday. Denmark is a Christian country (at least on paper) and has national holidays on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Schools are closed and most people do not work.
Easter is big in Denmark. It kicks off the summer season after a long, dull Nordic winter, and the Danes go all in for a warm, cozy environment.

Maundy Thursday Weather: A cloudy one
It’s not the sunniest start to the Easter holiday. It will be a cloudy and foggy day with some expected rain in the morning.
There may be a little sun over the southern regions but its unlikely for the rest of the country. Temperatures will range between 8 and 13 degrees Celsius, according to DR.
Covid-19: 2,257 new cases on Wednesday
Official data shows that 2, 257 new cases of Covid-19 were registered yesterday, slightly lower than the 2, 683 cases registered on Tuesday.
Fewer PCR tests were administered compared to the preceding 24 hours, however. The positive cases were found among 15, 351 PRC tests.
Testing levels are now a fraction of those seen earlier in the pandemic, while daily case numbers peaked in February when up to 55,000 new cases were registered on a number of days. | https://www.thelocal.dk/20220414/today-in-denmark-a-roundup-of-the-news-on-thursday-30/ | 2022-04-14T17:41:40Z | https://www.thelocal.dk/20220414/today-in-denmark-a-roundup-of-the-news-on-thursday-30/ | false | 1 |

Information has just emerged that with effect from April 19, 2022, some foreign airlines’ electronics would start accepting issuing of tickets in United States Dollars and no more in Naira.
Foreign airlines to start selling tickets in US dollars by April 19
This would most likely be a temporary measure till the Forex situation improves
This new policy was caused as a result of the difficulty in repatriating airlines’ huge funds stuck in Nigeria and other countries coupled with foreign exchange.
The development was announced by APG in an advisory to its travel partners, titled: “APG IET: Restrictions of Sales in US dollars”.
APG is the world’s largest passenger and cargo general sales agent (GSA) and airline representation company with offices around the world, including Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Part of the advisory said: “Dear travel partners, warm greetings from APG. This is to bring to your notice that with effect from April 19, 2022, GP would only accept issuing of tickets in US dollars and not Naira. This is mainly due to repatriation issues and Forex situation in the country.
“This would most likely be a temporary measure till the Forex situation improves. Our sincere apologies for any inconveniences this may cause you and your business. Thank you for understanding.”
“This is mainly due to repatriation issues and the forex situation in the country. This would most likely be a temporary measure till the forex situation improves.
“Our sincere apologies for any inconveniences this may cause to you and your business. Thank you for understanding.”
Airlines on the APG IET platform include South African Airways, Fly Dubai, Kenya Airways, Middle East Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Rwandair, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines, FrenchBee, EgyptAir, ASKY, Air Seychelles, Air Algerie and Air Namibia.
Air Panama, Air Burkina, Avianca, Bangkok Airways, Cabo Verde Airlines, Fiji Airways, Hong Kong Airlines, Malaysian Air, alongside other carriers, also use the platform.
Some of these airlines which fly directly into Nigeria are South Africa Airways, Turkish Airlines, Asky Airlines, Egypt Air, Royal Air Maroc, Middle East Airlines, Rwanda Air and Kenya Airways.
Recently, Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, disclosed that Nigeria currently holds $283 million of foreign airlines’ funds.
The money mostly proceeds from sales of tickets, but it is trapped in Nigeria due to the forex crisis.
In line with the Bilateral Air Service Agreements (BASAs) with countries, airline tickets are mostly sold in naira, while the airlines would repatriate the funds in dollars through the country’s central bank.

The Civil Society Constitution Agenda has advised the UPND to petition the Judicial Complaints Commission to remove Director of Public Prosecution Lillian Siyuni from her position for alleged misconduct.
CiSCA Chairperson Judith Mulenga has said that the JCC is empowered to recommend the removal of the DPP if she is found wanting in her conduct.
Ms Mulenga wondered why the cadres were intimidating the DPP and giving her ultimatums when they can report her to the judicial complaints authority.
UPND Youths in Lusaka Province yesterday gave Ms Siyuni a 48 hours ultimatum to resign from her position for allegedly frustrating the fight against corruption.
And The Southern African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (SACCORD) has urged people aggrieved by Director of Public Prosecutions Lillian Siyuni on grounds of incompetence, among others, to use laid down procedures to address such grievances.
In a statement availed to the media, SACCORD Executive Director, Boniface Cheembe has cited the action taken by activist Chama Fumba popularly known as Pilato to report the DPP to the Judicial Complaints Commission as the laid down procedure, adding that SACCORD will be following up the matter before the JCC as submitted by Mr Fumba with keen interest as it has a bearing on the strength of the country’s governance and democracy.
Mr states that this has a bearing on the extent to which citizens of the Republic of Zambia continue to have faith in using established institutions to address their grievances and thereby contribute to maintaining the peace of the country.
Yesterday, a day after the Lusaka Province UPND leadership called for the resignation of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Lillian Siyuni, party youths gave her 48 hours to vacate office or face mass protests.
Some people accused Ms Siyuni of discharging Patriotic Front (PF) aligned persons facing criminal charges.
UPND youths in Lusaka Province asked Ms Siyuni to vacate office within two days, failure to which they will stage mass protests, including at her office.
Provincial youth chairperson Anderson Banda told a media briefing that youths will protest if Ms Siyuni does not heed their call to step aside.
“We in the UPND are peaceful people, but we will not allow anyone to frustrate President Hakainde Hichilema’s fight against corruption.Ms Siyuni is not serving the interests of Zambians, we demand that she resigns, ” they said
And today, a group calling themselves Concerned Citizens have reported Director of Public Prosecutions Ms Lilian Siyunyi to the Inspector General of Police Lemmy Kajoba for alleged abuse of office and misconduct.
One of the Citizens names Matomola Likwanya said that said they decided to report the DPP for a criminal offence of conspiracy to defeat the course of justice.
Mr Likwanya alleged that the DPP has abrogated section 112 of the Penal Code, citing the handling of a matter relating to former Konkola Copper Mines Provisional liquidator Milimo Lungu whose lawyers complained to the DPP for being re-arrested by the Drug Enforcement Commission.
According to another member of the group, Alex Bwalya, the group is seeking intervention of the Inspector general of police.
Mr Bwalya said the DPP cannot continue to be in the office where she continues to undermine the course of Justice and that the DPP must resign and allow for cases to be executed in an effective and efficient manner.
Meanwhile, Golden Party of Zambia (GPZ) President Jackson Silavwe has said that the UPND is trying to bully the DPP into submission so as to bend to their political will and emotions.
In a statement to the media, Mr Silavwe said that the calls by the UPND for the DPP to resign are unfounded and that the DPP is being treated with political suspicion by the UPND for one simple reason, she was appointed by the Former President.
“Madam Siyunyi is a seasoned professional. It is a clear case of a ruling party, UPND, interfering with the operations of state institutions.
“The correspondence between the DPP and DEC is good for a growing democracy, it spells accountability and a strong separation of powers between state institutions. We differ with those calling for her resignation. We stand with DPP Lilian Siyunyi, ” concluded the statement. | https://zambianobserver.com/upnd-advised-to-petition-judicial-complaints-commission-over-removal-of-dpp/ | 2022-04-14T17:46:50Z | https://zambianobserver.com/upnd-advised-to-petition-judicial-complaints-commission-over-removal-of-dpp/ | false | 2 |
Dwight Andrew Downing Sr., known around town as Hoodie, age 72, closed his eyes on April 7, 2022, in the comfort of his home, after a life well lived.
He was born Sept. 4, 1949, in Atchison, to George and Naomi Downing.
After graduating from Atchison High School in 1967, Dwight joined the United States Navy and served for four years.
Dwight was lively, full of humor and was always coming up with witty sayings. He also had the biggest heart, and would give and do anything for others.
His love of fishing turned into a lifelong hobby, where he would spend hours on the banks by himself or with one of his many fishing buddies. Dwight was also a great hunter and enjoyed hunting mushrooms, rabbits and squirrels.
Dwight was preceded in death by: his wife, Beverly; parents, George and Naomi; sister, Georgia; son, Vincent; and son-in-law, Darrell.
Dwight will be lovingly remembered by: his daughters: Sheila, Allison and Veronica; sons, Dwight Jr. and Phillip; sisters, Sarah and Angela; and bonus brother, Steve. He will also be deeply missed by: his 11 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Services will be held at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 29, 2022, at Second Christian Church with Rev. Paul Kelley officiating. As published in the Atchison Globe. | https://www.atchisonglobenow.com/obituaries/downing-sr-dwight-a-1949-2022/article_a6aaddc8-d2c8-5e6e-a64e-0a152a4dfa36.html | 2022-04-14T17:47:32Z | https://www.atchisonglobenow.com/obituaries/downing-sr-dwight-a-1949-2022/article_a6aaddc8-d2c8-5e6e-a64e-0a152a4dfa36.html | true | 1 |
When Jarret Patterson left for the NFL after the 2021 season Kevin Marks became the heir apparent to the #1 spot on UB’s depth chart. For four years Marks had pushed Patterson every day for the job. At times Marks looked better than Patterson but was not the fit for the starting job that JP was.
It’s not fair to say he was backing up Patterson. While JP got more carries Marks was far more than a rotational back. Many times Marks took the offense on his shoulders and did the job just as well as JP could have.
His stats bear that out.
1,000-yard season in 2019 and a 700+ in a covid shortened 2020. Are the big numbers, he also was decisive in UB’s 2020 Bowl win as the starter.
But when the UB coaching applecart got tipped over it landed hard on the Buffalo running game. UB lost a ton of offensive linemen and picked up an offensive coordinator who wanted to run the offense differently.
The result was a system that didn’t work for Marks, and a coaching staff that had zero relationships with him.
Marks went from presumed starter to rotational back. He yards per carry went from 6.6 in 2020 to 3.8 in 2021 as Dylan McDuffie took over the starting job.
That didn’t help his stock, but the athlete that could carry an offense is still there. His pro-day number bear that out.
- 40 - 4.6, would have placed him in the top 20 running backs at the NFL combine
- Verticle - 35.5, would have placed him 7th for his position
- Broad - 9’10”, would have placed him in the top 20 among running backs
- 3 cone - 7.42, would have put him in the top 50 of all players
What he does not have, really, is the film from 2021 to break into a drafted position. It’s possible a scout takes a look at what he did in 2020 and sees him a good developmental prospect.
On film what you see is a patient runner who can wait just long enough for blocks to develop, before exploding with a great quick burst. He’s sharp on the fly and is really good at finding his lanes.
He’s also a very good pass blocking back.
Where he struggles, a bit, is on the permiter. Marks is amazing between the tackles, but comparatively, he didn’t to a lot on the outside running game.
What does this mean?
It means that Marks probably falls through the 7th round and into free agency. But given what he accomplished at Buffalo, and the success that UB’s “free agent backs” have found in the NFL, he’s going to get a serious shot somewhere this summer. | https://www.ubbullrun.com/2022/4/14/23025228/draft-a-bull-kevin-marks | 2022-04-14T17:47:44Z | https://www.ubbullrun.com/2022/4/14/23025228/draft-a-bull-kevin-marks | true | 1 |

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saudi Arabia is witnessing an exceptional international competition, targeting talented people with beautiful voices without the accompaniment of musical instruments. More than 40,000 people from 80 countries took part in the competition, using different methods in using their voices in reciting the Holy Quran (the holy book in Islam) or delivering the Islamic call to prayer (Adhan), after the entertainment authority in Saudi Arabia launched this competition under the name Scent of speech (Otr Elkalam).
Reflecting the famous saying: "If you want to learn about people's ethics, listen to their music," the competition shows the cultural diversity of peoples through the diversity of performances in the call to prayer (adhan), providing another way to explore peoples' cultures.
The entertainment authority in Saudi Arabia has allocated the largest financial prize in the history of talent competitions of this kind in the world, especially competitions of a religious nature, with a value of $3.2 million.
The first-place winner in the category of reciting the Holy Quran receives $1.3 million, while the first-place winner in the category of delivering the call to prayer receives $533,000. The remaining prize money is divided among six other contestants.
The competition combines good performance and the laws of melody, targeting the beauty of voice without the accompaniment of musical instruments. The competition is divided into two categories, the first of which is reciting the Holy Quran with a variety of vocal patterns, and the second is the Islamic call to prayer (Adhan).
More than 40,000 contestants from 80 countries participated in this rare competition, which is broadcast on official state TV during Ramadan. After several stages, 36 candidates reached the finals from Britain, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, Algeria, Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey. At this stage, the competition is limited to the finalists, who include 18 contestants in the recitation of the Holy Quran category and 18 contestants in the call to prayer category.
The finalists are currently competing in the qualifiers in the Scent of Speech (Otr Elkalam) TV show, during which their performance is evaluated by a panel of 13 international judges, who will announce the final winners and their prizes.

As well as this, engineering work between Hull and Brough will see some trains being replaced with buses, which will result in longer travel times on the following routes:
- Hull and Beverley
- Hull, Brough and Goole
- Hull, Brough and Selby
Regional director at Northern, Tony Baxter, said: “We know the bank holiday provides a great opportunity for people to get out, explore, and enjoy all that the North of England has to offer.
“We’re doing all we can to prepare for the weekend and are also asking our customers to plan ahead, expect services to be busy, allow extra time for journeys and, where possible, to avoid travelling during the busiest times.”
For more information on trains, timetables and the planned engineering work, visit the Northern website. Train times can also be checked via National Rail Enquiries. | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/northern-urges-customers-to-plan-their-train-journeys-ahead-of-easter-bank-holiday-weekend-due-to-engineering-work-3652934 | 2022-04-14T17:54:48Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/northern-urges-customers-to-plan-their-train-journeys-ahead-of-easter-bank-holiday-weekend-due-to-engineering-work-3652934 | false | 2 |
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Students at Pennsylvania's state-owned universities won't see tuition increase next year under a unanimous vote Thursday by the the system's board.
The State System of Higher Education's Board of Governors passed what will be the fourth year of flat tuition, as the struggling system hopes the Legislature will approve hundreds of millions in additional funding in the 2022-23 state budget.
“The state’s decision about our budget this year is existential for the state system,” Chancellor Daniel Greenstein said this week, ahead of the expected vote. “It will determine the future of higher educaiton in the state.”
Greenstein has been overseeing reforms to the sprawling system that currently enrolls nearly 90,000 students.
The board six months ago sought $550 million in state funding next year, an increase of about 15%, along with $201 million in student aid and about $75 million in federal funds to help pay for system changes.

“I felt it’s not really the right time to seek a tuition increase,” Greenstein said.
The board could still increase tuition ahead of the coming school year if the state budget subsidy is not sufficient. Tuition is currently about $7,700 for in-state undergraduates. The typical graduate leaves with $39,000 in student debt.

Lawmakers have called for an investigation into a troubled student loan cancellation program two weeks after an NPR report revealed the program — designed to help low-income borrowers, and eventually offer them debt cancellation — wasn't living up to its promise.
More than 9 million borrowers are currently enrolled in income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, which are designed to help people who cannot afford to make large monthly payments. The plans promise loan cancellation after 20-25 years. But documents obtained by NPR offer striking evidence that these plans have been badly mismanaged by loan servicers and the U.S. Department of Education.
The documents shed new light on the 2021 revelation that, at the time, 4.4 million borrowers had been repaying for at least 20 years but only 32 had had loans canceled under IDR.
"A recent NPR investigative report found the IDR program is riddled with problems and mismanagement, even worse than the public previously understood, resulting in millions of borrowers becoming unable to obtain debt cancellation," a group of Democratic lawmakers wrote in a letter sent Thursday to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director Rohit Chopra.
Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois signed onto the letter, which calls for CFPB to "investigate these reports and use all of its authorities to ensure borrowers are accessing IDR program benefits and receive the student loan forgiveness they have earned."
The senators also sent a letter Thursday to U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, calling for his agency to take action.
"We urge the Department of Education ('ED') to implement an IDR waiver, similar to the ongoing waiver for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ('PSLF') program, to allow borrowers to access the loan forgiveness they were promised through IDR," the letter says.
These senators aren't alone in their support of an IDR waiver. Earlier this year, more than 100 different advocacy groups cosigned a letter to Cardona demanding a waiver that would retroactively loosen the program's rules.
The problems NPR found with IDR
Under IDR, a monthly payment of $0 for a borrower earning less than 150% of the federal poverty line should still count toward loan cancellation. But NPR obtained a previously unreleased 2016 review of servicers, conducted by the Education Department's office of Federal Student Aid, in which officials warned these $0 IDR payments "are not adequately tracked."
Nearly half of all IDR borrowers are making $0 monthly payments, according to a 2019 analysis by the Center for American Progress (CAP). Not tracking those payments could delay or derail millions of the lowest-income borrowers on their way to loan cancellation.
The documents NPR obtained also revealed other irregularities in how servicers count IDR payments.
For example, if a monthly payment of $100.01 is owed but a borrower pays just $100 — one penny shy of the required amount — three loan servicers said they would still count it as a qualifying payment. But four others indicated they would not.
In response to NPR's original investigation, the Department of Education said, "Borrowers place their trust in us to make sure these plans work the way they were intended to, and we intend to honor that trust. We are aware of historical issues with prior processes that had undermined accurate tracking of eligible payments. The current situation is unacceptable and we are committed to addressing those issues."
What's next for IDR
Implementing an IDR waiver could help put qualifying borrowers back on the path to loan cancellation. But not everyone believes the remedy should fall solely to the Department of Education.
Beth Akers, who studies student loans at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute (AEI), told NPR she supports the idea of IDR – but she blames lawmakers for creating such a difficult suite of programs to implement.
"We're not going to get these programs cleaned up without legislation," Akers said. "The servicers have a thankless job. So does the Department of Education, because they were handed a pile of garbage."
NPR reached out to the CFPB and the Education Department for comment on the letters, and will update this story with their responses.

B.C. Place in British Columbia, Vancouver, has been added as a proposed site in Canada to host matches at the 2026 World Cup along with Edmonton, Alberta, and Toronto.
FIFA made the announcement Thursday, nine months after Montreal dropped out when the Quebec provincial government withdrew its support.

Dan Flynn will become senior executive adviser of the subsidiary. The 67-year-old served as the USSF's chief executive officer from June 2000 until September 2019.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first with 48 nations and the first with three co-hosts. FIFA selected the bid as joint host in June 2018.
Sixty games are to be played in the U.S., including all from the quarterfinals on. Canada and Mexico are to host 10 games each.
The bid plan envisioned 16 total sites for the tournament.

NORTH PORT, Fla. — The family of Gabby Petito will get a jury trial in their suit against the parents of Brian Laundrie.
Documents filed in Sarasota County this week show a civil jury trial scheduled to begin Aug. 14, 2023. A preliminary hearing has been set for May.
The suit filed in March alleges the Laundrie family withheld information from police that would have helped the Petitos in the search for their daughter. Their suit also claims the Laundries helped Brian avoid police, and in doing so, inflicted intentional emotional stress.
The Laundries filed a motion to throw the case out, but a judge ruled in favor of the Petito family.
Gabby Petito went missing last summer while on a road trip with Brian Laundrie. She was found dead in a national park in Wyoming.
After a 30-day search for Laundrie, his body was discovered in the Myakkahatchee State Park. Investigators said he killed himself and left a note that said he also killed Petito.

Kylie Jenner SHOCKS fans with price of Easter pillow in her $36M LA mansion after she’s accused of ‘flaunting wealth’
KYLIE Jenner SHOCKED fans with the price of an Easter pillow in her $36M LA mansion after she was accused of "flaunting her wealth."
It seems even the Kardashian family isn't above a good Home Goods holiday bargain.
Kylie, 24, posted a photo of an adorable Easter throw pillow on her story.
Four silhouetted bunny rabbits were embroidered onto a grey throw pillow with four white, fluffy pom-poms attached as their tails.
As Kylie showed off the decorating detail inside of her $36M LA mansion, the brand of the item shocked most fans.
The reality star has been under fire for "flaunting her wealth" with posting photos of pillows, blankets, and other decor items worth thousands of dollars.

However, Kylie seemed to have snagged this adorable item from Home Goods.
The throw pillow is listed on Home Goods' website for $16.99 and was even marked down to $12.00, which is a huge price drop from Kylie flaunting a teddy bear worth $20K in her new son's nursery.
'STUPID!'
Kylie was slammed for flaunting a designer teddy bear which a Reddit user discovered was being resold for over $20K.
Most read in TV
The user posted a photo of the Louis Vuitton classic print teddy bear listed on the luxury site FarFetch and captioned it: "I saw this in Wolf's nursery and thought it was cute... but $20K for a TEDDY BEAR?"
One fan commented on the thread: "This is just stupid. You have got to be an idiot to spend that much on a kid's teddy bear."
Another marveled: "Pre-owned?"
A third fan said: "I don't understand why people get so surprised this family spends insane amounts of money on ridiculous things. They literally flaunt it every day."
Yet a fourth wrote: "That could pay off my student loans."
A fifth fan broke it down for others: "The Teddy was launched around 2003-2004, so it’s vintage. It was around 7k retail price. FarFetch sells according to demand, so the price will go up. Only 500 people have them in the world."
Finally, a sixth fan wondered: "I think Kylie had it as a baby or something."
KOSTLY KLOSET
Earlier this month, Kylie was slammed for re-selling her used $3.7K Louis Vuitton bag online as fans called the Kardashian family "greedy for not giving to charity."
The KUWTK-alum also added a gold Bottega Veneta satchel for $1,395 and a Burberry fanny pack for $650, among other luxury offerings.
On the website, she was also selling two Hermès Birkins, with one Vanille-beige alligator piece featuring minor wear priced at $65,000.
OH MY, KY
Kylie’s selling activity comes just one day after she showed off her head-to-toe Diesel outfit featuring $1.5k worth of rings.
She wore four chunky gem rings from the brand Pieces Of Four, which is also favored by her sister Kim.

Elon Musk Makes Aggressive $43 Billion Offer To Buy Twitter
April 14, 2022 10:05 am
By Cristian Bustos
After acquiring a 9% stake in Twitter Inc., Elon Musk wants to be the sole owner of the social network. The billionaire and CEO of Tesla has offered $43 billion at a rate of $54.20 per share to take the company out of the stock market.
According to CNN Business, Musk’s offer represents a 38% premium compared to Twitter’s trading price on April 1. Shares of the company were up by 13% in early trading Thursday, while the stunning bid comes days after the tech billionaire decided not to join the board.
In a letter to Twitter’s president Bret Taylor, Musk said, “It is my best and last offer and if it is not accepted, I would have to reconsider my position as a shareholder.
“I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,” he also said.
“However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.”
Musk’s popularity on the platform is notorious, as evidenced by his more than 81 million followers —it is the eighth most followed account on a list led by former U.S. President Barack Obama with 131 million.
Musk has gone one step further and is committed to gaining full control through the hostile takeover bid, which is yet to meet resistance.
Twitter shareholders can see their stock appreciate strongly, but if the purchase fails to materialize, experts say, the fall would be as vertical as the rise has been in recent days.
Dan Ives, tech analyst with Wedbush Securities, says: “Musk is putting the Twitter board’s backs against the wall… Musk making this about free speech is the exact opposite of what every other corporate raider would do about monetizing the company’s value. It’s historic and bizarre at the same time.”
Elon Musk’s offer brings the social media sector back to the fore after other famous acquisitions. The increase in prices shows its growing influence since the acquisition of YouTube for $1.65 billion by Google —Alphabet Inc. and Facebook’s —now Meta Platforms Inc.— acquisition of Instagram for $1 billion in 2012.

J.K. Rowling unleashed a sensation when she published the first book in the Harry Potter series in 1997. Four years later, the young wizard’s adventures made it to the big screen and became a massive hit. Since then, the franchise has spawned video games, theme parks, tourist attractions, tattoos, and more in one of the biggest pop culture sensations in recent history.
The 11th film about the Harry Potter universe and the third of the Fantastic Beasts series is coming out April 15.
When Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book, she was nearly broke. Now it’s estimated that she’s worth at least a billion dollars. Her book was originally rejected by numerous publishers, and Bloomsbury, the one that did end up publishing it, didn’t expect it to do great. Turns out it was their golden ticket.
When the series was adapted into movies, it continued to do well and appealed to an even wider audience. From 2001 to 2011, Harry Potter films were pumped out almost yearly (usually around the holiday season) and were always a hit at the box office. The wizarding world has since been brought back to life with the Fantastic Beasts movies, though not quite with the same level of success. See where Harry Potter falls on the 100 top-grossing movies of all time.
Many of the main actors grew up with the movies over the years. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and many others look unimaginably young in the first few movies. They devoted 10 years of their lives to the roles, and it’s hard to see them and not associate them with the characters they played. However, the stars have remained active and often have appeared in independent films and other, more personal projects. Daniel Radcliffe is on the list of actors who made major body transformations for roles.

Trump aide Stephen Miller will appear before the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. That's according to two people familiar with the matter.
It’s unclear whether Miller will appear Thursday in person or virtually. Miller hasn’t returned a message seeking comment.
Miller was a senior adviser for policy during President Donald Trump's administration and a central figure in many of the Republican's policy decisions. Miller had resisted previous efforts by the committee, filing a lawsuit last month seeking to quash a committee subpoena for his phone records.
The people familiar with the matter spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private testimony.
The committee has sought testimony from a number of members of the Trump administration. A week ago, the House voted to hold advisers Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino in contempt of Congress. The matter was referred to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. | https://www.koaa.com/news/national/sources-trump-aide-stephen-miller-to-speak-to-1-6-panel | 2022-04-14T18:21:06Z | https://www.koaa.com/news/national/sources-trump-aide-stephen-miller-to-speak-to-1-6-panel | false | null |
Maren Morris got to play the role of surprise guest at a John Mayer show in Nashville on Wednesday night, stepping onstage to sing two duets with the star singer-songwriter.
One of those was “Last Train Home,” a song off John’s recent Sob Rock album. Maren provides backing vocals on the studio version, so it’s no surprise they’d choose that tune to perform in a live setting.
Maren also duetted with John at the Grammys in 2021, performing her cross-genre mega-hit, “The Bones.” But even though she’s gotten a few different opportunities to sing with him, Maren’s as starstruck as ever: A fact she made clear during a post to her socials after the show.
“Hello, Maren can’t be reached right now because she went back to 2006 and told her younger self that this would happen in year 2022 and her brain exploded,” the singer wrote, alongside video of her and John onstage together.
“Thank you [John Mayer] for bringing your new light to Nashville & blessing our ears,” Maren continued. “WHAT a band.”
When she’s not being a fan, Maren’s hard at work on her own tour plans: She launches her Humble Quest Tour in June.

This story was originally published in March 2020.
The ability to grow your own food now might seem more appealing than ever, and the stress-reducing benefits of spending time in the garden offer a much needed respite from our busy world.
If you are curious about gardening, here are four things beginning gardeners can right now to start planning for the growing season right now.
Figure out your growing zone
What you are able to grow and when you are going to grow it is going to depend on the conditions of where you live. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) geographically delineates “hardiness zones” that represent a region’s minimum average winter temperatures.
Though the map isn’t perfect — it starts to falter out West, where elevation changes make it more difficult to determine growing zones (a better option here is the Sunset Growing Zones) — it is still a handy tool for beginners looking to plan their planting calendars or determine crops that will grow well where they live. Seed packet maps are often based on this information as well.
The best way to determine your hardiness zone is to use the USDA Hardiness Zone Map. The online version has a feature where you can search hardiness zone maps by zip code or state.
Start seeds indoors
Especially if you have a short growing season, starting seeds indoors is a great way to get a headstart on the growing season. Make some seed starting pots from old newspapers and order some seeds and seed starting mix to get started growing seedlings indoors. Here is what I learned from starting seeds for the first time, as well as the DIY seed starting rack I will be using this year to help my seedlings thrive.
Consider your space
Before the growing season even starts, take stock of the space you have available for growing. You may have a large yard that is perfect for building a few raised beds, or you may have a tiny patio outside of your apartment. Either way, you have plenty of options for gardening. You may want to consider container gardening, or look at other ways to garden in your front yard. There are also apps you can use to plan your planting.
Plan with square foot gardening
If you have garden plots available to you — ones that you purchased, built, or reserved through your community garden — you can easily plan to maximize your space through square foot gardening. Square foot gardening is a simple, mathematical gardening method pioneered by retired engineer Mel Bartholomew that uses shallow raised beds and a specialized growing medium. Each square can hold a certain number of plants — generally either one, four, nine or 16 — depending on how much room the plant needs to grow.
You can purchase Mel Bartholomew’s book — the third and latest edition of “All New Square Foot Gardening” was published in November 2018 by Quarto, but previous editions are also readily available at booksellers — or use the many online resources available for square foot gardening to start planning. | https://bangordailynews.com/2022/04/14/homestead/early-spring-gardening-preparation/ | 2022-04-14T18:21:33Z | https://bangordailynews.com/2022/04/14/homestead/early-spring-gardening-preparation/ | false | 1 |
Multiple items were unanimously approved at the April 13 Union Township Board of Trustees meeting.
The meeting occurred at 7 p.m. at Union Township Hall.
A 2022 Township Brine Participation Contract with the Isabella County Road Commission (ICRC) for the application of brine in the amount of $19,680.16 and authorization for the Township Manager to sign said contract was approved at the meeting.
“The application of brine will occur in 2022, at the discretion of the Isabella County Road Commission,” an action request form from Public Service Director Kim Smith said.
The total cost for the project is $21,349.32 with the ICRC paying $1,669.17.
The Township also approved four Participation Contracts with the Isabella County Road Commission (ICRC) for the rehabilitation of four miles of gravel roads within the Township in the amount of $65,163.30, and authorizing the Township Manager to sign said contracts.
The ICRC recommended that Millbrook Road be serviced in 4 different areas which includes Whiteville to Lincoln, Meridian to Whiteville, Crawford to Mission, and Lincoln to Crawford.
“The approval of these contracts will continue to improve the conditions of gravel roads throughout the
Township,” Smith said in an action request form.
A bid from Plummer’s Environmental, in the amount of $123,510, for the rehabilitation of seventeen sanitary sewer manhole structures located on Craighall Road, Mission Road, and River Road was also approved.
“As part of the Township’s ongoing Sanitary Sewer Asset Management Program (24) twenty-four sanitary
sewer manhole structures were identified as the next critical manholes requiring rehabilitation,” an action request form from Smith said. “This rehabilitation includes cleaning, leak stop, and cured in place lining of the manhole structures.”
The adoption of Carriage Hill Estates #1 and #2 Subdivision Paving Special Assessment District Resolution #4 which sets the Second Public Hearing date and time for the establishment of a Paving Special Assessment District.
This Paving Special Assessment would allow for the construction, improvement, and maintenance of public roads for Carriage Hill Estates. The tentative cost estimate is $102,539.
Resolutions #1, #2, and #3 were previously approved in 2021. These resolutions covers most of the scope of the project.
“Establishment of a Paving Special Assessment District for Carriage Hill Estates #1 and #2 Subdivision to
complete a grind, 2 ½” paved overlay, and 1” gravel shoulders on Carriage Lane,” Smith said in an action request form.
Resolution #4 covers the set date and time for the second public hearing which would be April 27 at 7 p.m., confirms that the completed Special Assessment Roll be given to the Township Clerk and made
available for public inspection prior to the second public hearing, and directs the Township Clerk to give proper notice of such hearing by mailing and publication.
Public hearing #2 and Resolution #5 will be considered at the April 27 meeting and Construction will occur soon in 2022.
A construction contract with Countyline Power LLC, in the amount of $339,574, for the installation of high service pumps at the River Road Control Valve Station.
The project involves the installation of a high service pump including SCADA, electrical upgrades to backup power supply and piping modification to be installed in the existing River Road Control Building.
“Completion of this project will directly benefit the water users by providing exceptional quality and quantity of safe drinking water in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act to its existing and future customers,” an action request for from Smith said. “The addition of a booster pump at the River Road valve station will facilitate the incorporation of the Meridian Road well site capacity and increase our storage computation rating. This will provide the necessary capacity to meet the five-to-ten-year firm capacity requirements for source water in accordance with the State of Michigan EGLE. Further delay of this project will impact the township’s water system reliability and ability to provide firm capacity requirements during high customer usage.”
Construction for this project is likely to occur in 2022.
A second reading of the proposed PTXT 21-02 Zoning Ordinance text amendments to increase the maximum allowable height and to adjust the minimum setback standards for ground-mounted solar energy facilities, and to adopt the amendatory ordinance as Township Ordinance Number 22-02.
The amendments includes expanding options for ground-mounted solar array installations in the Township as well as additional setback-related revisions designed to minimize potential adverse visual and other impacts to neighboring properties from the taller solar energy facilities among other amendments.
“The proposed amendments would allow for installation of taller ground-mounted solar energy systems in the Township while minimizing adverse impacts through increased setbacks, consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 6.39 (Solar Energy Systems),” Township Manager Mark Stuhldreher said.
A first reading was approved in March 2022 and with the approval of the second reading and adoption of the amendments, the Zoning Ordinance amendments will soon take effect.

Sumit Ganguly, Indiana University
(THE CONVERSATION) As global democracies lined up to condemn the actions of Russia in Ukraine, one country was less forthcoming in its criticism – and it was the largest democracy of them all: India.
Throughout the ongoing crisis, the government in India has carefully avoided taking an unequivocal position. It has abstained on every United Nations resolution dealing with the matter and refused to join the international community in economic measures against Moscow, prompting a warning from the U.S. over potentially circumventing sanctions. Even statements from India condemning the reported mass killing of Ukrainian civilians stopped short of apportioning blame on any party, instead calling for an impartial investigation.
As a scholar of Indian foreign and security policy, I know that understanding India’s stance on the war in Ukraine is complex. In considerable part, India’s decision to avoid taking a clear-cut position stems from a dependence on Russia on a host of issues – diplomatic, military and energy-related.
Moscow as strategic partner
This stance is not entirely new. On a range of fraught global issues, India has long avoided adopting a firm position based on its status as a nonaligned state – one of a number of countries that is not formally allied to any power bloc.
From a strategic standpoint today, decision-makers in New Delhi believe that they can ill afford to alienate Russia because they count on Moscow to veto any adverse United Nations Security Council resolution on the fraught question of the disputed region of Kashmir. Since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, India and Pakistan have fought three wars over Kashmir, and the region continues to be a source of tension.
Harking back to the days of the Soviet Union, India has relied on Russia’s veto at the U.N. to protect itself from any adverse statement on Kashmir. For example, during the East Pakistani crisis of 1971 – which led to the creation of Bangladesh – the Soviets protected India from censure at the U.N., vetoing a resolution demanding the withdrawal of troops from the disputed region.
In all, the Soviets and Russia have used their veto power six times to protect India. India has not had to rely on Russia for a veto since the end of the Cold War. But with tension over Kashmir still high amid sporadic fighting, New Delhi will want to ensure that Moscow is on its side should it come before the Security Council again.
In large part, India’s close relationship with Russia stems from Cold War allegiances. India drifted into the Soviet orbit mostly as a counter to America’s strategic alliance with Pakistan, India’s subcontinental adversary.
India is also hopeful of Russian support – or at least neutrality – in its long-standing border dispute with the People’s Republic of China. India and China share a border of more than 2,000 miles (near 3,500 km), the location of which has been contested for 80 years, including during a war in 1962 that failed to settle the matter.
Above all, India does not want Russia to side with China should there be further clashes in the Himalayas, especially since the border dispute has again come to the fore since 2020, with significant skirmishes between the Indian Army and China’s People’s Liberation Army.
Russia as supplier of weapons
India is also acutely dependent on Russia for a range of weaponry. In fact, 60% to 70% of India’s conventional arsenal is of either Soviet or Russian origin.
Over the past decade, New Delhi has sought to significantly diversify its weapons acquisitions. To that end, it has purchased more than US$20 billion worth of military equipment from the U.S. over the past decade or so. Nevertheless, it is still in no position to walk away from Russia as far as weapons sales are concerned.
To compound matters, Russia and India have developed close military manufacturing ties. For nearly two decades, the two countries have co-produced the highly versatile BrahMos missile, which can be fired from ships, aircraft or land.
India recently received its first export order for the missile, from the Philippines. This defense link with Russia could be severed only at considerable financial and strategic cost to India.
Also, Russia, unlike any Western country including the United States, has been willing to share certain forms of weapons technology with India. For example, Russia has leased an Akula-class nuclear submarine to India. No other country has been willing to offer India equivalent weaponry, in part over concerns that the technology will be shared with Russia.
In any case, Russia is able to provide India with high-technology weaponry at prices significantly lower than any Western supplier. Not surprisingly, despite significant American opposition, India chose to acquire the Russian S-400 missile defense battery.
Energy reliance
It isn’t just India’s defense industry that is reliant on Moscow. India’s energy sector is also inextricably tied to Russia.
Since the George W. Bush administration ended India’s status as a nuclear pariah – a designation it had held for testing nuclear weapons outside the ambit of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty – India has developed a civilian nuclear program.
Although the sector remains relatively small in terms of total energy production, it is growing – and Russia has emerged as a key partner. After the U.S.-India civilian nuclear agreement of 2008 allowed India to participate in normal civilian nuclear commerce, Russia quickly signed an agreement to build six nuclear reactors in the country.
Neither the U.S. nor any other Western country has proved willing to invest in India’s civilian nuclear energy sector because of a rather restrictive nuclear liability law, which holds that the manufacturer of the plant or any of its components would be liable in the event of an accident.
But since the Russian government has said it will assume the necessary liability in the event of a nuclear accident, it has been able to enter the nuclear power sector in India. Western governments, however, are unwilling to provide such guarantees to their commercial companies.
Away from nuclear power, India also has invested in Russian oil and gas fields. India’s state-run Oil and Natural Gas Commission, for example, has long been involved in the extraction of fossil fuels off Sakhalin Island, a Russian island in the Pacific Ocean. And given that India imports close to 85% of its crude oil requirements from abroad – albeit only a small fraction from Russia – it is hardly in a position to shut off the Russian spigot.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently noted that India’s “relationship with Russia has developed over decades at a time when the United States was not able to be a partner to India” and suggested that Washington was prepared now to be that partner. But given the diplomatic, military and energy considerations, it is difficult to see India deviating from its balancing act over Russia any time soon.

Clement will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
He'll be filling in at the keystone for the lefty-hitting Andres Gimenez, who is getting a breather with southpaw Nick Lodolo on the hill. Gimenez isn't part of a strict platoon, but the righty-hitting Clement's ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots could allow him to pick up steady starts against southpaws, especially while he's performing well. Through three games, Clement has gone 4-for-8 with two walks, three runs and an RBI.

The traditional Mars procession of the Bengali New Year 1429 has been held in Dhaka under the slogan 'Nirmal Karo Mangal Ke Malin Marm Mushaye'. The procession was filled with people of different classes and professions dressed in Baishakhi, holding colourful masks in their hands.
The people gathered in the procession sang - 'Purify, do good and wipe away the filthy heart'.
The new year celebrations in 2020 were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Mars procession did not take place. In 2021, despite an improvement in the situation, there was no opportunity for everyone to participate. The restrictions have been lifted this year after the decrease in the spread of the virus.
The Mars procession organised by Dhaka university on the first Baishakh has been a part of the new year celebrations in the city for a long time. The program is also seen as a tool in the fight against bigotry.
The procession was started in the 1980s by the faculty of the fine arts department of Dhaka university on the first Baishakh with the call to break the shackles of military rule. The procession was later named 'Mars procession'. The program was recognized as a cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2016.

Frank James, the suspect arrested in the Brooklyn subway attack, made his first court appearance on Thursday.
James, 62, will be held without bail after arraignment on federal charges of conducting a violent attack against a mass transportation system. His lawyers have requested that he be given a psychiatric evaluation. They also requested magnesium pills for cramps he experiences in his legs.
James' court-appointed lawyers accepted the detention order, but asked that bail be made available at a later date if possible.
Prosecutors said that James "terrifyingly" fired on passengers in the subway.
"The defendant's attack was premeditated, was carefully planned, and it caused terror among the victims and our entire city," Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Winik told the court.
James made no remarks during his in-person court appearance, except to acknowledge that he understood the charges against him. If found guilty, he faces life in prison.
Law enforcement officials arrested James on Wednesday. His alleged attack on the subway system Tuesday left 10 people shot. No one died in the attack, but at least 23 people were injured in the rampage.

- Kate James, Amber Heard's former assistant, testified at the actress' defamation trial on Thursday.
- Johnny Depp has accused ex Amber Heard of defaming him by suggesting that he abused her.
- James said she never witnessed the couple fighting, but said Heard verbally accosted her regularly.
Amber Heard was painted as a boss from hell on Thursday, as her former personal assistant testified in the actress's defamation trial in Virginia.
Heard is being sued by her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, for $50 million, on allegations that she defamed him by describing herself as a "figure representing domestic violence" in a 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post.
Heard responded to Depp's lawsuit by countersuing, and claiming that he physically assaulted her on 10 occasions throughout their relationship. The couple divorced in 2016, after Heard filed for a protective order in court, with what appeared to be a bruise on her face.
Lawyers for Depp presented a prerecorded video deposition to jurors on Thursday taken by Kate James, who worked as Heard's personal assistant for three years, between 2012 and 2015.
During that time, James said she never witnessed Heard and Depp arguing or getting into physical altercations, nor did she notice any evidence of domestic violence during her regular visits to the couple's respective homes.
She said Heard did, however, contact her in distress after arriving back to their home in Los Angeles after a private flight with Depp in May 2014. Heard alleged in court filings that Depp kicked her and threw objects at her on the flight because he was upset about a romantic scene she had filmed the day prior with James Franco.
But James expressed some disbelief in Heard's story, commenting that she found her behavior strange that day.
James said the "first thing that flagged" in her mind was the fact that Heard went to the Chateau Marmont hotel after arriving in Los Angeles, instead of her own home in West Hollywood.
James said Heard then spent the day drinking by the pool, surrounded by her friends.
Boss from hell
James, who said she had 10 years of experience by the time Heard hired her, painted the actress as a bad boss.
She said she initially took the position for $25 per hour because the schedule was flexible enough for her to be able to pick up her son after school. But about six months into the job, James said, it became a full-time position. She says Heard screamed at her when she pushed back against the $50,000 salary Heard offered, which she said was about half of what she usually makes.
"She leapt out of her chair and put her face approximately four inches from my face, spitting in my face, how dare I ask for the salary I'm asking for," James recalled.
James said a handyman witnessed the exchange and was "mortified and so embarrassed" to hear Heard speak to her like that.
James said the salary offer was "very insulting" but she decided to take it anyway because she had grandfathered in the ability to pick up her son from school and bring him to work with her in the afternoons.
James's work for Heard overlaps with the period in which Heard alleged in her countersuit that Depp abused her on numerous occasions. According to Heard, Depp abused drugs and alcohol and often worked himself up into episodes of violence in which he'd physically assault her.
Depp alleges the abuse came from the other direction — that Heard belittled him for his age and physical shape, and often slapped or punched him. His lawyer alleged that Heard wanted to undermine his career.
In the view of James, Heard flew into irrational rages on numerous occasions. She described one incident when Heard yelled at her for leaving some magazines out in the house that were supposed to be stored in the garage.
When Heard found the magazines lying out she went "absolutely ballistic," James testified.
James couldn't recall exactly what Heard said but said Heard went into a "blind rage ... screaming, yelling abuse."
James said Heard also regularly screamed at her over the phone and would send "a barrage of abusive text messages" to her, often in the early hours of the morning.
"Between 2 and 4 a.m., the barrage would start, all incoherent, not really making sense," James said.
She said that Heard "often appeared intoxicated."
In awe of Depp
Meanwhile, James had only nice things to say about Depp, who she described as "a total Southern gentleman.'
She said she learned that Heard was dating Depp about a month into working with her, and met Depp not long after at Heard's home in West Hollywood.
James' first impressions of Depp were that he was "peaceful, calm, and very quiet."
Over the years she worked with Heard, she regularly interacted with Depp and said she never saw him be rude or yell at anyone.
"He was always completely passive," she said.
She also said that Depp took an interest in her son, who was 4 years old when she first started working with Amber.
James says Depp would give her son guitar lessons, brought him gifts back from vacations, and even played around with him in his elaborate prosthetic makeup for his 2015 movie "Black Mass."
"He gave my son a little guitar pick that he cherishes to this day," she said.
While she didn't see evidence of domestic violence, James said that she didn't think Heard and Depp's relationship was on solid footing. But she blamed that mostly on Heard.
"It did not seem like a perfect relationship to me based on a lot of insecurity on her behalf," she said.
She said some of Heard's text messages suggested she had some personal issues, but they were never made clear to James.
"Occasionally, she would send a text message about her 'mental state,' but it was never clear what was going on," James said.
Scorned ex-assistant?
Heard's lawyers tried to portray James as a bitter ex-employee through their questioning, which highlighted the awkward way that James was terminated in 2015.
James said she was let go shortly after Heard returned home from her wedding in the Caribbean in February 2015, saying that her mother was sick and that she would need to let James go in order to take care of her.
James said she felt shocked and "blindsided" by the decision, and wished that Heard would have given her some notice so that she could look for another job.
Heard's lawyers also got James to admit that she asked to be put on Depp's payroll, and to stay in one of Depp's homes since she was worried about making mortgage payments while out of work, but was denied both.
James hadn't been working for Heard for more than a year by the time that Depp and Heard split amid accusations of domestic violence on Depp's part.
But she admitted to meeting with Depp after the breakup, after he sent her a text message asking her to come over, and saying "we'll fix her flabby ass nice and good" — an apparent reference to Heard.
James said she couldn't recall what was discussed the afternoon she went over to Depp's house, but said Heard was likely discussed since she was how they both knew each other. | https://www.insider.com/amber-heards-former-assistant-says-never-witnessed-johnny-depp-abuse-2022-4 | 2022-04-14T18:28:50Z | https://www.insider.com/amber-heards-former-assistant-says-never-witnessed-johnny-depp-abuse-2022-4 | false | 3 |
(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Susanne Sternthal, Texas State University
(THE CONVERSATION) Shortly after footage emerged of the carnage Russian troops left behind in the town of Bucha, Ukraine, an article was published April 4, 2022, in one of the largest Russian state-run media companies.
The article called for even more bloodshed in Ukraine.
Written by journalist and Kremlin-aligned political operative Timofey Sergeytsev and published in RIA-Novosti, the article answers the question posed by its headline: “What should Russia do with Ukraine?”
The answer, Sergeytsev writes, is total annihilation. He writes that “all who have associated themselves with Nazism should be liquidated and banned.”
Sergeytsev urges Russian soldiers to be merciless and force Ukraine to its knees and calls for more of the same inhumane tactics that took place in Bucha and the towns of Mariupul and Berdyansk.
As an academic focusing on Russian government, politics and society, I believe the article demonstrates what is foremost on the mind of President Vladimir Putin’s regime.
The silencing of independent Russian media
Sergeytsev’s piece merits close attention because RIA-Novosti is one of the three largest news agencies in Russia and has a mass circulation. It functions as a loyal mouthpiece of the Russian government and has an inordinate impact on what Russians see and hear about the war in Ukraine.
This is the result of the Russian government’s ever tightening control over independent media since 2000, when Putin became president. In his first year in power, Putin shut down companies of media businessman Vladimir Gusinsky.
Since then, Putin has used what is known as the Roskomnadzor, the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information technology and Mass Media, a federal agency that monitors and censors Russian mass media and decides which need to be shut down.
In 2022 alone, Putin closed the last remaining independent sources of information in Russia: liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, online television channel TV Rain, bilingual news site Meduza and Novaya Gazeta, whose editor, Dmitry Muratov, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021.
The Russian government not only has total control over all media, but it dictates what can be seen and heard. The war in Ukraine, for instance, can only be referred to as “a special military operation.” Anyone who calls it a “war” is subject to a prison term of 15 years.
Given where it appeared, Sergeytsev’s article must have been published with the knowledge and approval of the Russian government.
Who is Sergeytsev?
Sergeytsev is an experienced Russian political operative who worked on behalf of the Russian government to prop up pro-Russian Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma in 1991. He also supported Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, whose questionable election victory, promoted by Putin, resulted in Ukraine’s Orange Revolution of 2004.
Sergeytsev is also a member of the Russian far right Zinoviev Club, named after Alexander Zinoviev. Zinoviev was a champion of Josef Stalin as a model leader, the murderous dictator who ruled the Soviet Union from 1928 to 1953.
Given this pedigree, it’s not surprising that it was Sergeytsev who wrote the answer to the question about what Russia should do about Ukraine.
A fight against Nazis?
In the invented world he describes in his article, Sergeytsev accuses both Ukraine’s former President Petro Poroshenko and current President, Volodymyr Zelensky, of using “total terror” against the Russian “anti-fascists in Odesa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Mariupol and other Russia cities.”
As for the Donbass regions of Donetsk and Lukhansk in Ukraine’s east, where pro-Russian separatists have fought Ukraine over the past eight years, Sergeytsev says they have been bravely rebelling “against Ukrainian Nazism.”
Sergeytsev calls for the destruction of all “Nazis that have taken up arms” and that they “should be destroyed to the maximum on the battlefield.”
He includes the Ukrainian armed forces, the national battalions, the territorial defense forces and “a significant part of the masses, which are passive Nazis” and “are also guilty.”
All “are equally involved in extreme cruelty against the civilian population, equally guilty of the genocide of the Russian people, and do not comply with laws and customs of war,” Sergeytsev writes.
In this piece of bald disinformation, Sergeytsev further writes that the majority of Ukrainians have been drawn to the Nazi politics of their government and “this fact is the basis of the policy of denazification.”
The idea of Zelensky, the only Jewish president outside of Israel, subscribing to Nazi ideology along with his government has nothing to do with reality.
Russian propaganda
Sergeytsev’s choice of words, such as “de-Ukrainization” and “denazification,” are terms calling for the destruction of Ukraine. In his April 4 article of 1,700 words, Sergeytsev uses the word Nazi 69 times.
In order to achieve the ultimate goal of “de-Ukrainization,” Sergeytsev calls for a rejection of Ukrainian ethnicity and the peoples’ right to self-determination.
Echoing Putin, Sergeytsev writes that Ukraine has never been a nation state, adding that its attempts at becoming independent have led to “Nazism.”
Sergeytsev calls on all of Ukraine’s elite to be “liquidated” and “the social swamp which actively and passively supports it should undergo the hardship of war and digest the experience as a historical lesson and atonement.”
The constant use of the word “Nazi” triggers a visceral reaction among the Russian population. During World War II, the Soviet Union suffered horrible atrocities at the hands of the Nazis. In one example, the Nazi blockade of Leningrad lasted from September 1941 until January 1944, a total of 900 days. An estimated over 1 million people died from systematic starvation.
Using the word “Nazi” is bearing fruit for the Kremlin.
The independent polling center Levada showed in late March polls, one month into the invasion, that 83% of Russians approved of Putin.
But despite Russian media efforts to falsely portray Ukrainians as Nazis, there have been reports of Russian soldiers captured by Ukrainian military confused by the purpose of the war, saying they couldn’t find any Nazis or fascists.
Old and new boundaries
In addition to calling for the need for “de-Ukrainization,” Sergeytsev writes that Ukraine “must be returned to its natural boundaries.”
These boundaries were the ones formed between 1765 and 1783 after Russia’s Empress Catherine the Great defeated the Turks, annexed Crimea and incorporated the entire southern part of today’s Ukraine known as Novorossiya into the Russian empire.
Sergeytsev says that the five regions in western Ukraine, which he refers to as the “residual Ukraine in a neutral state,” are not likely to become part of the pro-Russian territories and will remain hostile to Russia. “The haters of Russia will go there,” he writes.
For Sergeytsev, compromising with the United States, NATO and other Western nations is not an option.
The reason, Sergeytsev concludes, is because the “collective West itself is the designer, source and sponsor of Ukrainian Nazism.”

(The Hill) – Russia is warning of new nuclear deployments in the Baltics if Finland and Sweden join NATO, as the two countries inch closer to becoming part of the military alliance.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council and former president of Russia, wrote in a Telegram post on Thursday that “there can be no talk of non-nuclear status for the Baltic” if Finland and Sweden join NATO.

He said that should Finland and Sweden join NATO, Moscow would need to “seriously strengthen the grouping of land forces and air defense, deploy significant naval forces in the waters of the Gulf of Finland.”
“In this case, it will no longer be possible to talk about any nuclear-free status of the Baltic — the balance must be restored,” he added, according to CNBC.
Medvedev said that previously “Russia has not taken such measures and was not going to,” according to Reuters.
“If our hand is forced well … take note it wasn’t us who proposed this,” he added.
The cautionary statement from one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest allies comes after Finland and Sweden made progress in their paths to joining NATO. Lawmakers in Finland were issued a security report by the country’s government, and the ruling party in Sweden started a review of options for security policy, according to The Associated Press.
Finland borders Russia. Sweden, however, does not share a border with Russia. Norway, which borders Sweden and shares a small border with Russia in its far northeast, joined the military alliance in 1949.
Lithuania said that the warning from Russia is not new, stating that Moscow has positioned nuclear weapons in Kaliningrad, the Russian province between Poland and Lithuania, since before the conflict with Ukraine began, according to Reuters.
Medvedev on Thursday said that if Finland and Sweden join NATO, Russia’s borders with alliance members will have to be bolstered.
“If Sweden and Finland join NATO, the length of the alliance’s land borders with the Russian Federation will more than double. Naturally, these borders will have to be strengthened,” he said, according to CNBC.
He noted that the addition of Finland and Sweden to NATO would give Russia “more officially registered opponents,” according to CNBC.
Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, when Putin ordered a “special military operation” in the country. The conflict entered its seventh week on Thursday. | https://www.abc27.com/russia-ukraine-conflict/russia-warns-of-new-nuclear-deployments-in-baltics-if-finland-sweden-join-nato/ | 2022-04-14T18:32:24Z | https://www.abc27.com/russia-ukraine-conflict/russia-warns-of-new-nuclear-deployments-in-baltics-if-finland-sweden-join-nato/ | true | 19 |

Watch live: Lyoya family to speak after Grand Rapids police shooting video released
The family of Patrick Lyoya is expected to speak at a 1:30 p.m. news conference in Grand Rapids one day after the Grand Rapids Police Department released video of a police officer fatally shooting Lyoya on April 4 after a struggle during a traffic stop.
Watch the news conference here. (Don't see the video below? Tap here.)
The release by Grand Rapids police sparked renewed protests and calls for justice Wednesday, and state officials promised a full investigation.
The video release, a collection of dashcam footage, body cam footage, a home security camera, and a cellphone video, showed Lyoya, a Black man, facedown on the ground and fatally shot in the back of the head by a Grand Rapids police officer, the violent climax of a traffic stop, brief foot chase and struggle over a stun gun.
Later Wednesday, hundreds marched through downtown Grand Rapids through the evening, calling for accountability in the police ranks. | https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/04/14/patrick-lyoya-family-news-conference-grand-rapids-police/7320665001/ | 2022-04-14T18:39:48Z | https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/04/14/patrick-lyoya-family-news-conference-grand-rapids-police/7320665001/ | true | null |
In a world where social media is everywhere and the news cycle runs around the clock, it’s a challenge for celebrities to keep things quiet. However, a group of musicians from various classic grunge-rock bands managed to keep an entirely new supergroup secret from the world — and announced it by suddenly dropping its debut album.
The new group, appropriately called 3rd Secret, features Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil and Soundgarden/Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron, as well as Void guitarist Bubba Dupree and singers Jennifer Johnson and Jillian Raye.
The group quietly released the self-titled album on Monday, April 11 only to streaming services, and shared the news on its official website.
“Get in on the secret!” the band announced on the website. “New album on your favorite streaming service.”
While fans can listen to the new 3rd Secret album easily on Spotify, they might have trouble finding it on Apple Music. The band addressed the issue on its website, as well.
“Reports coming over 3rd Secret hotline that album is still not on Apple Music,” the update confirmed. “Please be patient as work was uploaded Saturday night and needs time to get to streaming platforms.”
The band also recommended listening to “I Choose Me” on YouTube (along with other songs from the 11-track album) to get a preview of what to expect from the supergroup. Check out “I Choose Me” via YouTube below.
According to the music website NME, the album “leans heavily on classic grunge and alt-rock flavors, but adds diversity with hints of laid-back folk and indie-rock, swampy blues and stomping hard-rock.”
While news of 3rd Secret was largely kept under wraps, a few details leaked along the way and some people began piecing them together. First, NME reported that Novoselic posted a mysterious tweet in February.
“I am really busy trying to finish a record. In the middle of some hangups – looking for a mid-March release,” the tweet read. “But it’s a secret, so don’t tell anybody!!!” That tweet was deleted a short time later, though.
Then, on April 10, Cameron posted on his Instagram account and shared a photo of the group performing at the Museum of Pop Culture with the caption, “3rd Secret coming soon!”
That photo is now one of the centerpiece photos on the group’s website.
No word yet on whether or not 3rd Secret will play any live gigs in the coming months. People magazine reported Cameron will hit the road with Pearl Jam as part of a North American tour that had to be rescheduled following the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. So, stay tuned for updates on the newest group to emerge from a combination of ’90s grunge legends.

Osinbajo, MKO Abiola and the Lessons of History by Etim Etim
Editor's note: Veteran journalist and public affairs commentator, Etim Etim, writes on the presidential declaration of Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN on Monday, April 11, and the reaction it has generated from supporters of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former Lagos state governor and Farooq Kperogi, a US-based professor.
By declaring to run for president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has obviously angered certain interest groups in the country. Supporters of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu have gone into overdrive, doubling down on their malevolent campaign against the vice president, while Farooq Kperogi has sped up the rate of release of his fake narratives, sinister and malicious articles against the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), and by extension all Christians and the vice president.
Even then, overall the overwhelming number of Nigerians have responded positively to the VP's entry into the race. The reviews have been quite raving and the feedback very encouraging. His inspiring message has resonated with many Nigerians, helped largely by the fact that Nigerians already had a positive impression of him.
Contrary to the lies being peddled by some of Tinubu's supporters, there is absolutely no pact anywhere that remotely suggests that Tinubu would be the anointed successor to President Buhari. Similarly, there has never been any agreement or injunction barring the VP from contesting the presidential election against the former Lagos governor or any other contestant. Nobody will ever enter into such accord in politics, anyway, although such stories usually surface every election cycle. In Akwa Ibom state, for example, one PDP governorship aspirant has been going around bemoaning that Governor Udom Emmanuel has reneged on the agreement he had with the governor to succeed him. Of course, nobody took him seriously, and I think he had dropped the claim. Such assertions are made by desperate politicians to deceive the voters.
The anxiety in Tinubu's camp arises from his deep sense of entitlement to the presidency, perhaps because he's said to have pocketed Lagos state in the last 22 years, feeding off the treasury unchecked. He actually believes that he now deserves the whole country.
PAY ATTENTION: Join Legit.ng Telegram channel! Never miss important updates!
Having helped Buhari win in 2015, Tinubu certainly feels that the presidency should be his for the asking, and for that, his cronies and followers are relentlessly attacking the VP for daring to run. But Yemi Osinbajo is not Tinubu's son; he's not signed any pact with Tinubu and he's not tied to Tinubu's apron strings. Even if Tinubu nominated Osinbajo to be VP (a recent account however disputes this story, emphasizing that Asiwaju did not even support the nomination at the dying minute because Osinbajo was against a Muslim-Muslim ticket), the VP has the right to pursue his dreams, just like any one of us. That there has never been any pact between Tinubu and the VP over the presidency means that Professor Osinbajo could not be accused of being treacherous for making his intentions known to Nigerians.
Tinubu's camp is also fond of insinuating that the Osinbajo candidacy might offend certain Yoruba traditions because the professor had once served as a commissioner under Tinubu. This is quite irritating, to say the least. Osinbajo has not been under any bondage or peonage to Tinubu since he left Lagos state government in 2007. In the same vein, the presidency is not akin to some kind of Yoruba chieftaincy stool in which the contenders to the throne have to be subjected to some tribal traditions and conventions. Osinbajo is now a national figure whose profile has burst through tribal and ethnic lines in the last seven years. I insist that the VP should be treated with the utmost respect, dignity, and courtesy by his southwest people in general and Tinubu's supporters in particular.
A little bit of history is important here. By the time it was clear that Chief MKO Abiola had won the June 12 1993 election, he had already emerged as a towering national personality. Beating his rival, Bashir Othman Tofa in his home state of Kano was a huge electoral accomplishment for MKO and to many Nigerians, it signified the beginning of the end of tribal politics in the country. But after the unfortunate annulment of that election by the IBB junta, many activists and politicians began to again insert ethnic and tribal sentiments into the popular uprising that had erupted against IBB. Steadily, ethnic jingoists took over the mass protests, and soon, the MKO brand was badly affected and the essence of the protests was defeated.
Similarly, the consistent attempts by Tinubu loyalists to denigrate the vice president and call him names is an ill wind that blows no one any good. It should be clear that Tinubu's camp will never triumph by dragging down Professor Osinbajo. It is therefore in the interest of the southwest region if the APC national leader could call his supporters to order and ask them to desist from insulting and abusing the vice president.
Let me conclude with a line or two on Farooq Kperoqi. It is obvious that this man is on a mission of relentless, but malicious and nasty personal vendetta against the VP. The reasons are not clear to anybody. He churns out wrong and misleading statistics to back up his sinister campaign. I know for sure that, contrary to Kperogi's falsehood, Professor Osinbajo did not nominate Okechukwu Enelamah as a minister in 2015. He was nominated by the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Anichebe, when the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, had sought the monarch's assistance in filling the Abia state slot of the ministerial position. As a candidate, Gen. Buhari endured endless media attacks in the build-up to the 2015 elections. If that did not scare Buhari out of the race and did not prevent his victory, Kperogi and his ilk will never succeed. Nigerians are wise enough to see through a vile and baseless agenda of hate.
And from what we can see, it's clear who the 2023 presidential election front-runner is.
