Which electric chainsaw is best?
Whether you’re working deep in the woods clearing land or simply cleaning up brush around your home, an electric chainsaw can make a daunting task easier. These environmentally friendly yard tools clear brush and downed trees, and they make short work of other large landscaping tasks.
The Makita-UC3551A Chainsaw has all the power without any gas-guzzling. It’s easy to operate and a good choice for felling trees up to 14 inches in diameter.
What to know before you buy an electric chainsaw
Corded or cordless
Electric chainsaws come in either corded or cordless options.
- Corded: Corded chainsaws are lightweight, rarely weighing more than 5-6 pounds. They are quiet, easy to start and produce zero emissions. On the other hand, they are not as durable as cordless electric chainsaws, and your cutting range is limited.
- Cordless: Cordless, battery-powered chainsaws are also easy to use and don’t give off the emissions you find with gas-powered models. They can also be used out in the bush, away from a power source. But they are heavier than corded models, cost more and need to be charged. Cordless chainsaws are often less powerful than corded.
Bar size
The bar size refers to the length of the metal plate that holds the chain, and it influences the type of cutting you can do with your saw. Most chainsaws designed for residential use have a bar between 12-16 inches. The 12-inch bars are best for cutting brush, bushes and small trees. If you need to cut a slightly larger tree for firewood, a 14-inch bar is your best bet. If you want an all-around tool for all types of wood, a 16-inch chainsaw will do the trick.
Power
Manufacturers measure power in amps. They range from 8-15 amps, and the higher the number, the more power you’ll get. While it’s nice to have extra power occasionally, there’s no sense in spending money for more power unless you’re cutting down trees on a regular basis.
What to look for in a quality electric chainsaw
Auto-oiling
Automatic oiling is a feature that allows you to keep working without the risk of your chainsaw overheating or getting stuck. The only thing you need to do is make sure there is oil in the chainsaw’s reservoir.
Automatic tensioner
You may want an electric chainsaw with an automatic tensioner, which senses when the chain is getting loose and tightens it appropriately. This keeps the chain on the bar and prevents a potentially serious accident.
Ergonomic grip
Cutting wood can be hard on your hands. Look for padded, ergonomic grips to keep you comfortable throughout your work.
Safety features
Operating any kind of chainsaw can be quite dangerous. Safety features like handguards and auto shut-off provide an extra layer of protection.
How much you can expect to spend on an electric chainsaw
The price depends on the brand, size and how much power it has. Expect to spend between $50-$250 on a quality electric chainsaw.
Electric chainsaw FAQ
How do you safely operate a chainsaw?
A. Chainsaws can cut through thick bark and wood incredibly easily. This same power makes them extraordinarily dangerous to work with, but a few safety precautions can help.
- Wear chainsaw chaps or pants: These have a special fabric in the thigh that protects against cuts if a chainsaw slips from a log.
- Wear other safety gear: Other safety gear includes a helmet, eye and ear protection, long sleeves, gloves and steel-toe boots.
- Stay sober: Do not operate a chainsaw under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This includes prescription medication that dulls your reflexes.
- Operate the chainsaw correctly: Do not start the chainsaw when it is resting on your body. Don’t carry it while it’s running or leave it unattended.
- Work with a buddy: Never operate a chainsaw alone.
- Move slowly: Don’t rush. Many preventable accidents occur when chainsaw operators are working too quickly.
What is the largest diameter wood an electric chainsaw can cut?
A. This depends on the size of the bar and the power of the chainsaw. Most chainsaws with a 14-inch bar and 15 amps can easily cut a tree that is 14 inches in diameter.

Choosing the best doghouse for summer
Doghouses come in many shapes and sizes, so what works for one breed of dog won’t work for another. Some also come with features, such as windows for ventilation or an overhang for extra shade, that make them better for hot days. Whatever style of doghouse you choose, make sure it has what your pet needs and can protect it from the elements.
What to know before you buy a doghouse for summer
Coverage
According to PetMD.com, heavy exposure to ultraviolet light can cause your dog to get a sunburn. This is generally characterized by red, dry or cracked skin. In severe cases, it could lead to hair loss, skin ulcers or skin infections.
Choose a doghouse that offers enough coverage to protect your dog from the sun. Make sure it doesn’t have large gaps in the roof or along the sides so the sun doesn’t get in.
Material
The main structure of most doghouses is either wood or plastic. Some also use insulating materials such as foam to keep the internal temperature consistent on hot days.
- Wood is best if you live in a humid environment, as it breathes well and prevents moisture from building up. If it’s coated with epoxy, it should also be resistant to wear and tear from the wind, rain or falling debris.
- Plastic is ideal in places with low to moderate levels of humidity. It’s also usually more durable than wood. Plus, it is easier to clean, making it convenient for people with dogs that track mud in.
If it rains a lot in the summer where you live, consider getting a specialty doghouse. Those that use asphalt or stainless steel in the roof and exterior are effective at keeping water from coming in.
Design
Most doghouses have a slanted or A-frame roof, though some have a dome shape or flat roof. In terms of design and color, there are many options. For example, one doghouse might have a dark green roof and trim with beige sides. Another could look similar to a wood cabin or have a lot of open space for natural lighting and airflow.
Size
A doghouse should be large enough for your pet to comfortably stand up, lay down and turn around in. The dog should also be able to stretch without hitting the sides of the structure. If the doghouse is too small, it could cause your pet undue discomfort or stress.
If you’re not sure what size to choose, start by measuring your dog from the base of its tail all the way to the tip of its nose. Multiply this measurement by two to find the length of the house. Then, multiply it by three for the width.
Next, when the dog is standing upright, measure it from its paw to the top of its head. Multiply this number by 1.75 to get a good baseline of how high the ceiling should be inside the house.
For the door size, use a tape measure to determine the distance from the ground to the top of your dog’s shoulder. Also, calculate the width across its chest. Add a few inches if your pet is still growing or has trouble with small spaces.
If you plan to add a dog bed or let your pet bring dog toys into the house, account for that when determining which size doghouse to get.
Airflow
Traditionally, doghouses let air in through the front door. However, many modern models also feature air vents on the sides, back and above the door for extra ventilation.
Having proper airflow and ventilation is important considering the doghouse is meant for summertime use. Not only does it keep odors down, but it can also keep your pet cool on hot days.

Scotland’s World Cup play-off semi-final at home to Ukraine has been rescheduled for June 1.
The match had been due to take place in March but was postponed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
FIFA announced the new date on Thursday afternoon. The sport’s world governing body also confirmed that the winners of that match would face Wales in Cardiff for a place in the finals in Qatar on June 5.
Whoever qualifies will be in a finals group alongside England, the United States and Iran.
The new dates for the World Cup play-off matches have led to rescheduling of affected Nations League matches due to take place in June and September.
Wales’ match away to Poland has been brought forward from June 3 to June 1, while their home game against the Netherlands has been pushed back two days to June 8.
The Dragons’ home match against Belgium has been moved back by a day to June 11 while the away match against the Netherlands has also been pushed back a day to June 14.
Scotland’s first scheduled Nations League match at home to Armenia has been moved from June 4 to June 8, while the home encounter with Ukraine will now take place on September 21 instead of June 7.
Scotland’s matches away to the Republic of Ireland on June 11 and Armenia on June 14 are unchanged, meaning Steve Clarke’s team could face up to five matches in the June window.
The home match against the Irish, originally scheduled for September 23, has been pushed back by one day, as has the away match against Ukraine which is now scheduled for September 27.
The Republic host Armenia on June 4 – the date when the eastern Europeans were due to be away to Scotland and the Irish were due to host Ukraine. The Republic of Ireland v Ukraine match will now be played on June 8.
Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell welcomed confirmation of the revised schedule and said: “Firstly, it will be great to be able to welcome Ukraine to Hampden Park in June.
“While, understandably, there will be two sets of competitive players who are committed to taking another step closer to World Cup qualification, we also understand and appreciate the wider context in which the match will take place.
“We have been consistent throughout that postponing the original tie was the right and only thing to do and look forward to hosting Ukraine at Hampden Park in June.”
Clarke raised concerns last month about the possibility of playing six matches in June, if all the Nations League matches scheduled to be played then had taken place alongside potentially two World Cup play-off matches.
The statements from FIFA and UEFA welcomed the solidarity and co-operation involved in rearranging the matches, which had involved both the world and European governing bodies plus eight national associations.
One of those associations, Poland, is understood to have offered to host Ukraine’s preparation camps for the World Cup play-offs and Nations League, and to stage Ukraine’s ‘home’ Nations League matches against Armenia on June 11 and the Republic of Ireland on June 14. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4172555/scotland-wales-and-ukraine-learn-rearranged-world-cup-play-off-dates/ | 2022-04-15T10:37:03Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4172555/scotland-wales-and-ukraine-learn-rearranged-world-cup-play-off-dates/ | true | 7 |
Last Sunday, U.S. officials confirmed that General Aleksandr Dvornikov had been appointed to lead Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in a grim omen that it may pursue even more ruthless tactics in the ongoing war.
Dvornikov has been called "the butcher of Syria," having lead a brutal campaign in Syria's civil war in 2015.
He has already been behind some of the most devastating attacks on Ukraine, including in the southern city of Mariupol, which has been all but obliterated, and the missile strike on a train station that killed at least 50 people.
In an interview on All Things Considered, Elizabeth Tsurkov, a fellow at the New Lines Institute for Strategy and Foreign Policy, broke down Dvornikov's past experience as a military commander and what his new position could mean for the next phase of the war.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Interview Highlights
On who Dvornikov is and what he has done
Russia does not release information about the personality or special characteristics of the person, but we can judge him by his actions.
Dvornikov oversaw the start of the Russian intervention in the war in Syria from September 2015 until July 2016, when he was replaced by another general.
And looking at his record during that time, he oversaw a campaign that combined a great deal of disinformation and lies — presenting the fighting that is happening in Syria as one that is targeting terrorism and ISIS, even though he did not target ISIS.
On Dvornikov's reputation for being ruthless
The Russians ended up destroying eastern Aleppo to retake it from the rebels. This entailed use of unguided bombs that hit indiscriminately, as well as cluster munition, as well as thermobaric weapons.
These [thermobaric weapons] are weapons that are often mislabeled, including in the conflict right now in Ukraine, as white phosphorus.
[Ukrainians are] instead being hit by thermite, which is significantly hotter than white phosphorus. Thermite is used to melt metal, so you can only imagine what happens to the human body when it is hit with thermite.
And we are also seeing in Ukraine strikes on hospitals, on bakeries. These are all tactics that were used extensively under Dvornikov in Syria.
On whether Dvornikov faces a tougher fight in Ukraine
The conflict in Syria is matched by its brutality, to some extent, with the Ukrainian one, unfortunately.
But in other aspects, it is quite different. In Ukraine, the Russians are forced to fight a proper military that is well supplied and well organized, as opposed to disparate rebel groups that are not united, or are poorly supplied.
But when faced with a proper military, we're basically seeing really kind of embarrassing defeats that now apparently Dvornikov is supposed to prevent from recurring.
On what we should expect from his tenure
The conflict is likely to get bloodier, not because Dvornikov has been put in charge, per se, but because the Russians are unable to achieve the victory that they expected to achieve very quickly.
So now unable to achieve those military goals, they are basically returning to their kind of default mode, which is massive use of indiscriminate fire. When Dvornikov took over the command of Russian forces in Syria, [he basically destroyed] the city and lead to mass displacement that has not been addressed. People remain displaced from their homes till this day.
Hopefully in the case of Ukraine, when this war ends and people will be able to return to their homes, countries will provide resources to allow people to return and not perpetuate basically a situation of permanent displacement and exile that Syrians continue to suffer through.

Most of us want our tax dollars to be wisely used — especially around tax time.
You’ve probably heard a lot about corporations not paying taxes. Last year, individuals like you contributed six times more in income tax than corporations did.
But have you heard about how many of your tax dollars then end up in corporate pockets? It’s a lot — especially for corporations that contract with the Pentagon. They collect nearly half of all military spending.
The average taxpayer contributed about $2,000 to the military last year, according to a breakdown my colleagues and I prepared for the Institute for Policy Studies. More than $900 of that went to corporate military contractors.
In 2020, the largest Pentagon contractor, Lockheed Martin, took in $75 billion from taxpayers — and paid its CEO more than $23 million.
Unfortunately, this spending isn’t buying us a more secure world.
Last year, Congress added $25 billion the Pentagon didn’t ask for to its already gargantuan budget. Lawmakers even refused to let military leaders retire weapons systems they couldn’t use anymore. The extra money favored top military contractors that gave campaign money to a group of lawmakers, who refused to comment on it.
Then there’s simple price-gouging.
There’s the infamous case of TransDigm, a Pentagon contractor that charged the government $4,361 for a metal pin that should’ve cost $46 — and then refused to share cost data. Congress recently asked TransDigm to repay some of its misbegotten profits, but the Pentagon hasn’t cut off its business.
Somewhere between price-gouging and incompetence lies the F-35 jet fighter, an embarrassment the late Senator John McCain, a Pentagon booster, called “a scandal and a tragedy.”
Among the most expensive weapons systems ever, the F-35 has numerous failings. It’s spontaneously caught fire at least three times — hardly the outcome you’d expect for the top Pentagon contractor’s flagship program. The Pentagon has reduced its request for new F-35s this year by about a third, but Congress may reject that too.
Most serious of all, there’s the problem of U.S. weapons feeding conflicts in ways the Pentagon didn’t foresee, but probably should have.
When U.S. ground troops left Afghanistan, they left behind a huge array of military equipment, from armored vehicles to aircraft, that could now be in Taliban hands. The U.S. also left weapons in Iraq that fell into the hands of ISIS, including guns and an anti-tank missile.
Even weapons we sold to so-called allies like Saudi Arabia have ended up going to people affiliated with groups like al Qaeda.
Military weapons also end up on city streets at home. Over the years, civilian law agencies have received guns, armored vehicles, and even grenade launchers from the military, turning local police into near-military organizations.
Records also show that the Pentagon has lost hundreds of weapons which may have been stolen, including grenade launchers and rocket launchers. Some of these weapons have been used in crimes.
Taxpayers shouldn’t be spending $900 apiece for these outcomes. My team at the Institute for Policy Studies and others have demonstrated ways to cut up to $350 billion per year from the Pentagon budget, including what we spend on weapons contractors, without compromising our safety.
Even better, we could then put some of that money elsewhere.
Compared to the $900 for Pentagon contractors, the average taxpayer contributed only about $27 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, $171 to K-12 education, and barely $5 to renewable energy.
How much more could we get if we invested even a fraction of what we spend on military contractors for these dire needs.
Most Americans support shifting Pentagon funds to pay for domestic needs. Instead of making Americans fork over another $900 to corporate military contractors this year, Congress should put our dollars to better use. | https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/04/15/about-that-900-you-gave-military-contractors/ | 2022-04-15T10:40:26Z | https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/04/15/about-that-900-you-gave-military-contractors/ | true | 3 |

Mercurial billionaire Elon Musk now says he wants to buy Twitter outright, taking it private to restore its commitment to what he terms “free speech.” But his offer, which seemed to fall flat with investors on Thursday, raises as many questions as it answers.
Among them: Is he serious? Can he get the money together? Would a sale make shareholders happy? And what would the social platform look like if he succeeds?
WHY IS MUSK INTERESTED IN TWITTER?
Ostensibly because the service, he says, isn’t living up to its potential as a “platform for free speech.” Musk insists that he’s not interested in making money off Twitter and on Thursday said his motivation sprang from the realization that “having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization.”
Twitter, like other social media platforms, suspends accounts for violating content standards, including on violence, hate speech or harmful misinformation. Its suspension of Donald Trump angered the former president’s followers.
Musk has described himself as a “free speech absolutist” — but he has blocked Twitter users who question or disagree with him. Regulators have also accused his car company, Tesla, of retaliating against Black workers who spoke up about discrimination.
HAS MUSK SAID WHERE HE WILL GET THE FUNDS TO BUY TWITTER?
No. And his regulatory filing says the offer is subject to “completion of anticipated financing.”
During a Thursday on-stage interview at the TED 2022 conference, Musk noted vaguely that he has “sufficient assets” to complete the deal, adding: “I can do it if possible.”
CAN HE JUST BUY TWITTER OUTRIGHT FROM HIS PERSONAL WEALTH?
Musk is the world’s wealthiest man, according to Forbes, with a nearly $265 billion fortune. But much of his money is tied up in Tesla stock — he owns about 17% of the company, according to FactSet, which is valued at more than $1 trillion — and SpaceX, his privately held space company. It’s unclear how much cash Musk has.
“I do think this will be somewhat painful and I’m not sure that I will actually be able to acquire it,” Musk said in his Thursday interview.
Musk could sell Tesla stock to raise money — which could hurt Tesla’s share price — or borrow against his stock holdings. But Forbes notes that he has already used more than half of his Tesla stake as loan collateral.
WOULD TWITTER SHAREHOLDERS BE HAPPY WITH HIS OFFER?
The stock traded lower than the offer price of $54.20 a share Thursday, suggesting investors doubt the deal will go through. The shares have traded above $70 in the past 12 months and peaked at $80.75 in February 2021.
There has been executive turnover since co-founder Jack Dorsey’s departure in November left Twitter with a new CEO, Parag Agrawal, whose initial actions have involved internal reorganizations. There have not been any major changes to Twitter, which, despite its outsized influence due to high-profile celebrity and politician posters, as well as a devoted base of journalists, has fewer users than social media rivals like Facebook and TikTok. Musk himself is a huge user, with more than 81 million followers.
Dorsey, still a major shareholder, has not indicated what he thinks of Musk’s offer.
Twitter said only that it will look at the offer. A spokesperson declined to answer if the board will put in place a defense against a hostile takeover known as a “poison pill.”
HOW MIGHT MUSK REMAKE TWITTER?
It’s hard to know with Musk, and even trying to game out this hypothetical might be taking the man too seriously. By saying Twitter is not living up to its potential to be a “platform for free speech,” he seems to be saying he would scale back content moderation. But he has also called for the company to crack down on spam accounts, which implies more moderation.
He proposed dropping ads from the service — ads are how Twitter makes money — and making its San Francisco headquarters into a homeless shelter. He also seems to approve of a button to edit tweets.
WHAT CONCERNS DOES MUSK AS AN OWNER OF TWITTER RAISE?
Social-media companies struggle to contain misinformation and hate speech. Musk, whose tweets can lead online bullies to swarm his critics online, does not seem keen on content moderation.
“Regulators worldwide will be wincing at the potential free speech implications should Musk’s takeover bid succeed,” said GlobalData analyst Rachel Foster-Jones. “Musk is clearly serious about promoting free speech for the benefit of democracy, but the line between free speech and hate speech or misinformation is becoming increasingly muddied, and attempts to change Twitter could easily lead to these issues spiraling out of control.”
In his talk with Anderson, Musk said that Twitter is “ bound by the laws of the country it operates in, so obviously there are some limitations on free speech in the U.S. and of course Twitter would have to abide by those rules.” But he said it was “quite dangerous” to have “tweets be mysteriously promoted and demoted” and having a “black-box algorithm.”
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Twitter may hire bankers and advisers to help it review the deal, said Third Bridge technology, media and telecom analyst Scott Kessler. And other buyers could emerge. “It seems that if would-be strategic and/or financial buyers are interested in Twitter, they should probably engage now.” | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/tech-news/explainer-what-is-musk-really-doing-as-he-guns-for-twitter/ | 2022-04-15T10:41:57Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/tech-news/explainer-what-is-musk-really-doing-as-he-guns-for-twitter/ | false | 23 |

What Is Fee-Only Financial Planning?
The world of financial advice is divided into 3 main categories. The traditional financial advisor is what most people are familiar with. This is the most common arrangement where a financial advisor works for an institution and sells product. The financial advice is given “free” and is part of the process of selling these products. The second category of advisor is called a fee-based financial advisor. This type of advisor does the same thing as the traditional advisor, but charges a flat percentage fee based on the assets managed rather than by product. The cost can be less but still can add up over time because the fees are based on a percentage of the assets you have. The advice is still part of the service and is “free”. The last option is a fee-only or fee for service financial planner. This type of planner only gives advice and does not sell product. The charge for the advice is a flat dollar amount based on how much time is spent or how complicated the project is.
What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Each Type?
Cost
The traditional advisor tends to be the most expensive. The fees are based on the dollar amount of products you buy. As an example, if you invest $100,000 worth of mutual funds and are paying 2% fees, you are paying $2000 per year as long as you own these funds. The 2% figure is an average MER (Management Expense Ratio) based on a mixture of equities and fixed income (stocks and bonds). There may be other fees like sales loads, account fees, trading fees, trailer or referral fees, administrative fees or penalties for switching or redeeming early. To know the real cost, you would have to add up the costs for your situation.
The fee-based financial advisor may have reduced fees since they are charging a flat percentage instead of an MER plus other costs. Reduced fees are somewhere in the range of 1% to 1.5% for an entire account. The catch is that this option is available to people with larger amounts of assets since the fees charged have to be substantial enough to make it profitable. The minimum asset threshold usually starts at $500,000 in investible assets (assets in a trading account). If you have $1 million invested, this fee can be as high as $10,000 to $15,000 per year.
The fee-only financial planner charges for a plan or project using a flat dollar fee. This means that you would have a plan done once or periodically every 3 or 5 years, and you would pay somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 per plan.
Note: don’t fixate too much on the names or titles of the person you are dealing with – i.e. financial planner versus financial advisor. These names or titles are used interchangeably in Canada and do not specify a given service or accreditation. There are also additional names like financial consultant, investment advisor, portfolio manager and so on. The key to know what you are dealing with is to ask “what are the fees in dollars?” and have this explained to you. Judging from what you hear, you will know what type of fee structure that is being presented.
Conflict of Interest
The traditional advisor has to serve many masters. There is the client who is paying the bills and must be taken care of. There is the institution and the boss who wants to make the most money possible from client fees. Lastly, there is the regulator / compliance team who ensures that you the advisor is serving the client and not breaking any company, industry or criminal laws. If your company has products that are sub-par, you the advisor are now conflicted. You can sell the client a mediocre product and make your boss happy, or tell the client to go to a competitor and get a better deal which will make the customer happy. Unless you are a very experienced advisor with a substantial book of business or you don’t need the job, it is very difficult to make everyone happy.
The fee-based financial advisor has a similar dilemma if serving the client means that assets should be taken elsewhere. There is also the advice of paying down debt, purchasing real estate, using money to buy a business, starting an art collection, taking money overseas, buying physical metals and so on which are not products sold by the institution and therefore would not generate any fees.
The fee-only planner does not have these conflicts because there is only one master – the client. There are no products and no assets – only the legal system and the ethics body of the association that the advisor belongs to.
Array of Services
In this area, the traditional advisor has the advantage. If you are in a situation that requires a will, an accountant, an estate trustee, a mortgage broker, or insurance products, the traditional financial advisor works for an institution that can provide these services. The administrative aspect of this is also handled for you: Opening accounts, trading, rebalancing the portfolio, automated deposits and withdrawals or filling out forms.
A fee-based financial planner may be able to provide these extra services, but it will depend on the size of the firm. The smaller “boutique” firms may specialize in portfolio management or investments and you may still have to recruit a network of professionals if you have a more complex situation.
The same situation applies for a fee-only or fee for service financial planner. People who do fee-for-service planning tend to be individuals or small companies without the resources to provide a network of professionals.
Minimum Asset Level
If you are selling products or managing assets, the fees that pay for the whole process including the financial planning are a percentage of the amount of money being used to purchase products or assets. If the amount of money being invested is $100,000 at 2% fees, you would be paying $2000 per year. The products would likely come from a preset list. A “know your client” (KYC) survey would be filled out and products are selected rather than having a comprehensive plan done. Asset minimums for a financial plan typically start at $500,000 in product purchases or assets, but some firms may provide a plan with a smaller asset amount. In the age of robo-planning, a plan can be created using software for under $1,000, but it may not cover all of the scenarios since software is not complete versus talking to a human being.
In the fee-only financial planner case, there is no need for asset minimums because the revenue is not tied to product sales. The revenue generated is tied to time spent and work performed, and whether there is a $1000 trade or a $100 million trade in buying a product, the amount of work in creating a plan and allocating the assets will be the same.
Which type of advisor is right for you? It will depend on what you have, what you need, how much of the work you are doing yourself, and how much knowledge and comfort you have about finances.

A Guide to Finding Temporary Workers This Holiday Season
With Christmas almost two months away, companies are ramping up their holiday hiring needs. Amazon, FedEx, UPS, Target, Macy’s, Kohl’s, and USPS are among just some of the companies that are hiring thousands of seasonal workers this year.¹ PeopleReady, a division of TrueBlue Inc., reported that 19 million jobs were posted in the U.S. between August and September, as holiday hiring starts to heat up.²
As holiday hiring heats up though, the labor shortage is still very present, and this holiday hiring season is set to be one of the toughest yet. Of the 19 million jobs noted above, 14 million of those jobs are still active. PeopleReady also noted some of the most in-demand jobs for the holiday season include: delivery drivers, retail associates, warehouse workers, servers and food service workers, hosts/hostesses, and cleaners/ housekeepers.³
While hiring challenges are certainly going to be present this holiday season, it does provide an opportunity for staffing companies to team up with companies that may not normally turn to staffing firms for their hiring needs. Now is the time to reach out to prospective clients that may have holiday hiring needs and establish the benefits of working with your staffing firm. An easy way to search for these prospective clients is by using your ATS to search for companies that work in the in-demand industries noted above. A simple email and call campaign can be put together to reach out to these prospective clients. You’ll want to finalize your holiday orders early though, as it may take longer to fill positions this year.
Once you have your holiday orders, setting a strategy for filling these orders will be essential. Below are a few tips to think about as you find workers this holiday season.
Offer Hiring Incentives
A big part of hiring this holiday season will involve hiring incentives, such as sign-on bonuses, referral bonuses, and more. Indeed noted the last week in September showed that 3.2% of seasonal job postings on Indeed highlighted financial incentives, which is up from 0.6% during the same period in 2020 (4). Ways you can incorporate hiring incentives include:
- Sign-on bonuses
- Referral bonuses if a candidate you hire refers someone. A special referral bonus can also be offered to employees that work at the company you are hiring for.
- Incentives for returning seasonal workers
- Incentives can also be non-cash related: streaming subscription service, holiday dinner provided to the family, grocery store voucher, monthly or yearly meal subscription service, tickets to a sporting event or local attraction, etc.
What is important to note though, as you are forming your incentive strategy, is that different generations have different values. What might entice a baby boomer, might not entice a millennial. Knowing your audience and what entices them to work is important. As you are offering incentives for each of your jobs, think about the ideal candidate and what they would value. They may value a non-cash related item versus a bonus.
If you are unsure of what would entice your candidates, you can send out a survey to the candidates you are reaching out to and see what hiring incentives motivates them. Another option is to offer up a number of hiring incentives of similar value and the candidate can choose which one they want. This could make it even a little more fun when the candidate has the opportunity to choose their “hiring gift.”
Lastly, for jobs that may be less desirable, consider offering a better incentive. This could include jobs with non-traditional hours, intensive labor, etc. Less desirable jobs will be even harder to fill, but an extra incentive may entice more individuals to pursue that job opportunity.
Incorporate Holiday Cheer into Your Job Description
Are you looking for ways to help your job description stand out? What better way than to incorporate holiday cheer! Would you rather “help Santa deliver presents this holiday season” or “work in a warehouse.” Would you rather “help holiday shoppers find the perfect gift for their loved one” or “work in retail.” By getting creative with your job description, you can immediately gain more traction and interest in the position. You want the job to sound appealing and this is one way you can accomplish that.
Also, remember to incorporate hiring incentives into the job description. You can even tailor this towards your holiday description by saying “our holiday gift to you is a $500 sign-on bonus” versus “we are offering a $500 sign-on bonus.” Be creative and have fun with your job description, otherwise it will be passed up.
Promote Your Holiday Jobs on Your Website
Whether you have a special landing page for your holiday jobs or a banner on your homepage that promotes you are hiring seasonal workers, be sure your holiday jobs have a presence on your website. Every time someone visits your website you want it to be known that you are hiring for the holiday season. That way you don’t miss an opportunity for a candidate to apply. Someone visiting your site may also see it and could refer someone to it. Your website is an important place for promotion you don’t want to miss out on.
Use Your ATS to Find Last Year’s Seasonal Workers
If a candidate was a seasonal worker for you last year, they may be interested in being a seasonal worker this year. Reaching out to last year’s seasonal workers is a good place to start your search. You can use your ATS to identify last year’s seasonal workers and send an email campaign to these individuals about the openings you have available. This would be a good opportunity to mention the hiring incentives you have to offer-perhaps you have a special incentive for returning seasonal workers.
If you are undecided on what might entice these candidates to work, you could include a survey that asks which incentive would entice them to come back as a seasonal worker. This is a good way to gauge appealing hiring incentives for your candidate pool.
Use Your ATS to Contact Other Candidates
After you reached out to last year’s seasonal workers, you can then use your database to find other candidates that worked in some of those in-demand industries that are hiring for the holidays. You can also search for candidates whose job is ending around the holidays and for candidates that worked around the holidays in the past. These are just a few search options you can conduct to find relevant candidates.
Reach Out to Local Colleges and High Schools
College kids fit into the right demographic for a holiday job. College students have 3-4-week winter breaks, which makes it the perfect opportunity for them to work over their break if they are interested. High school students may also qualify for some of the jobs you are hiring for, especially for retail and restaurant workers. College and high school students may not be the typical demographic you target for hiring needs, but a seasonal job can be a perfect fit for them. This year even more so then ever, it may be helpful to tap into this market as you try to fill positions.
If you do reach out to colleges and high schools, think about some hiring incentives that you could offer for this generation, as what they are interested in will be very different then the baby boomer generation.
Launch Social Media Campaign
The holidays are a special time when holiday joy is spread, chestnuts roast on an open fire, cookies are exchanged, tree lightings are taking place, and more. It’s a time of year that is extra special and so are the seasonal jobs you are recruiting for. Social media is the perfect place to have fun with it! Invite your followers to join in the holiday cheer by working a holiday job. Create special holiday themes for your posts, create a hashtag personalized for your company, perhaps you can even encourage your followers to share your posts and, every time they share, they can be entered into a raffle to win a special holiday gift. The social media campaign is also a good opportunity to discuss the benefits of working a seasonal job. You may capture someone’s attention that wouldn’t even think about working during the holidays.
Host a Holiday Job Fair
Hosting a holiday job fair is another opportunity where you can have fun promoting your seasonal jobs. Invite candidates to come to your “winter wonderland” holiday job fair where hot chocolate will be served. They can learn about your holiday job opportunities and the benefits of seasonal work as they enjoy a freshly baked holiday cookie. Perhaps you can even offer an incentive for coming, such as all attendees are entered into “Frosty’s Gift Card Raffle Drawing.”
Overall, the holiday job fair is a great occasion to connect with potential workers and turn holiday jobs into an exciting opportunity to work.
Endorse it Could Lead to a Full Time Position if Applicable
If the job has the potential to lead to a full-time position, you will want to note this in the job description and as you are promoting the job. Some may only be interested if there could be an opportunity for a full-time position afterwards, so you wouldn’t want to miss out on these candidates.
‘Tis the Season for Hiring
We reviewed just a few ideas to think about as you are filling positions this holiday season. While finding workers for holiday jobs may be even tougher this season, it introduces an opportunity for staffing companies to tap into new markets and pursue opportunities for new business. It’s a time when staffing companies can provide support and expertise to companies, they might not normally work with who are in need of hiring workers. Once presented with holiday job orders, thinking about the right incentive for your target audience will be critical, in addition to, finding the right candidates to reach out to. Lastly, have fun with it! The holidays are a happy time. Incorporate that holiday spirit into your job description, into your social media posts, and at your holiday job fair. If you were a candidate looking to work around the holidays, would you rather work for Santa at the North Pole or work for the Grinch on Mount Crumpit? I’m guessing they would want to work at a company that is warm, welcoming, and offering a special holiday gift to them.

Is Zimbabwe’s Dependence on China A Ticking Time Bomb?
That China has emerged as a global economic powerhouse especially in the aftermaths of the global financial crisis cannot be disputed. In fact, it is credited as having been the key driver of global economic growth, in a period where the western economic markets were largely subdued. Africa has benefitted immensely from the growth of the Chinese economy in the recent past. Statistics show that by the end of 2012, China`s Foreign Direct Investment in the continent approached the $20 billion mark. For all intents and purposes, this is a significant amount of investment which goes to show the prominence with which the so called ‘sleeping giant’ is rising.
Zimbabwe has increasingly become more reliant on China, on the back of the ‘look east policy’ being pursued by the Zimbabwean government. Chinese owned Anjin investments invested $400 million to form a joint venture with the Zimbabwean government to mine diamonds in the Marange fields. Furthermore, various companies in the country, Zisco Steel (now Zim Steel) being a case in point, have benefited from China`s investments in the country, giving more currency to Sino-Zim trade relations. Additionally, a deal for the installation of two generators at Kariba South worth around $400 million is said to have been concluded with Sino-Hydro Company.
According to the World Bank, Zimbabwe has managed to increase its Foreign Direct Investment nearly eightfold in just four years, to $387 million form a paltry $51, 6 million in 2008. Much of this resurgence in capital inflows is greatly as a result of the investments the Chinese have made in Zimbabwe. This however, is not out of sync with current global trends. Recent statistics show that China has surpassed Japan as the world`s second biggest economy. China also has the largest foreign exchange reserves, which stand at a staggering $3, 4 trillion, mainly held in US, and other western countries` debt instruments, showing how dominant the Chinese have become in global trade and investment dynamics.
While China`s role in Zimbabwe`s economy mirrors worldwide tendencies, one cannot avoid but question the effects of a weakening Chinese economy on the country. These concerns are not too farfetched considering that recently, Chinese data released showed that the Asian giant`s economy grew by 7, 7%, missing forecasts which stood at around 8%. Some analysts have attributed the recent slump in the price of gold, the biggest in a year and a half, to China`s weakening growth, at a time when it is a key driver of global demand. Zimbabwe’s economic model dependent on foreign investment from China is therefore, a cause for concern as it renders the country susceptible to external shocks presented by a downturn in China`s economy.
At a time when there are nascent signs of recovery in the local economy, every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that robust economic fundamentals are established within the economy, to ensure that this recovery, translates into sustainable growth going forward. Efforts to delineate the country from risks such as those being presented by a global system over-reliant on China must be the focus of the powers that be. One may argue that in an era of global interconnectedness, the risks of contagion may be difficult to contain. While this argument has its merits, history has shown how diversification insulates economies from adverse global economic developments. The major cause for concern would be the impact on the economy, if these capital flows largely from one destination where to come to an abrupt halt. This will obviously have detrimental effects on the Zimbabwean economy, and is an event that should be avoided.
At a time when the amount of Foreign Direct Investment in Zimbabwe is nothing to write home about, comparing with other regional countries, the objective for the Zimbabwean government becomes two fold. The first and perhaps the more crucial at this point in time, is to attract significant foreign Direct Investment into the country for investment spending, to boost the productive capacity of the local economy. Secondly, we must ensure that these capital flows come from a diversified base to limit the risk of shocks on the local economy.
Over the recent years, the continent has seen rapid growth in intra-African trade, particularly in sub-Saharan countries. This is a trend that should be encouraged, as a way of collectively expanding African economies. Soft infrastructure in the form of enhanced institutional capacity in African countries, respect for the rule of law, complimentary foreign exchange controls and tax regimes need to be implemented to boost intra-African trade. As trade amongst African countries gains traction, so too will the capacity of African economies to invest inwardly, thereby ensuring sufficient funds for investment purposes within the continent.
Whereas the reliance on China has so far been working to some extent, this model is simply not sustainable. China`s long term growth prospects are increasingly being threatened by the recent trends of decline in the working-age population, somewhat attributed to its ‘one-child’ policy and its socio-economic structure where an estimated 900 million people of its 1, 2 billion population still live in poverty. Already, some are predicting that the Chinese economic bubble may be starting to burst. A weakening of the Chinese economy as a result of these structural issues would inevitably be a precursor to a massive scaling down of their outward FDI flows. Basing on the current economic model, Zimbabwe would be adversely exposed to this economic risk.
Moreover, Zimbabwe must be on guard from opening itself up to a new form of imperialism by the Chinese, and recognise that at the end of the day, like any other investor, they are competitively driven by the profit motive, and will ultimately look out for their own interests. In my opinion, the question of the effects over-reliance Zimbabwe, and perhaps to a level, Africa has on capital flows and trade with China is one that merits debate, especially as we rebuild our economy. Granted, the country has benefitted from the support of its ‘all weather friend’, but the question is how sustainable is this model moving forward?

The 7 Most Attractive Bogota, Colombia Neighborhoods For Foreign Real Estate Investors
The real estate boom in Colombia is definitely attracting more and more foreign real estate investors every day. Growth in Colombia’s capital city, Bogota D.C. has been extraordinary. However, as in all markets some locations within the city have been performing better than others. Furthermore, foreign investment in Bogota Real Estate has been mainly focusing on 7 high profile Bogota neighborhoods which are yielding the best results.
Below, we will list the 7 most attractive Bogota neighborhoods for real estate investors. But first let’s go over how the city of Bogota is actually divided. Bogota has 2 types of divisions: Localities and Neighborhoods. Localities are large sectors that have many neighborhoods within them. Sort of like Burrows in New York City but a bit smaller.
Bogota Colombia is broken up into 20 Localities (Localidades), each having many neighborhoods:
- Antonio Narino
- Barrios Unidos
- Bosa
- Candelaria
- Chapinero
- Ciudad Bólivar
- Engativa
- Fontibón
- Kennedy
- Martires
- Puente Aranda
- Rafael Uribe
- San Cristobal
- Santa Fe
- Suba
- Sumapaz
- Teusaquillo
- Tunjuelito
- Usaquen
- Usme
Where should I Invest in Bogota?
There is actually no, one best answer. However based on current growth and demand the neighborhoods below seem to be great candidates. For foreign real estate investors, coming mainly from the US and Europe, the 7 most attractive and profitable Bogota Colombia Neighborhoods right now, seem to be:
- Chico, (Chapinero)
- Cabrera (Chapinero)
- Rosales (Chapinero)
- Santa Barbara (Usaquén)
- Santa Lucia (Usaquen)
- Santa Ana (Usaquen)
- Chapinero Alto, (Chapinero)
It’s interesting to note that these 7 neighborhoods are only coming from 2 Bogota localities; Chapinero and Usaquen. Both of these localities are in the North Eastern part of the city where most of the country’s wealthy citizens live. Profitable Bogota real estate opportunities are abundant in these neighborhoods and construction is very prolific.
A Possible Explanation as to Why Investments in These Locations Have Greater Demand
These are exclusive neighborhoods where housing is a bit more expensive than in the rest of Bogota but the value of the properties tends to increase more rapidly. Rent costs are also higher and will therefore bring in better passive income streams to those who decide to go that route.
What About Real Estate in Other Localities and Neighborhoods?
Of course, there are also many other opportunities in different neighborhoods, such as Cabrera and Candelaria (These being 2 very popular tourist spots in Bogota) however these places mostly attract the younger adventurous type of crowd. Home prices have risen in these areas as well but not as fast as they have in more elite neighborhoods such as the 7 mentioned above.
Commercial real estate opportunities in the 7 neighborhoods mentioned above are also abundant. Foreign company’s and multinational firms are rapidly migrating to these northeastern neighborhoods in Bogota.
“It used to be that Downtown Bogota was the place to find international firms and multinational companies but that has changed” says Fabio Rodriguez, Social Media Strategist at VivaReal.net’s Bogota Colombia office, who helps manage a lot of the firms Real Estate inventory in Bogota and affirms that “…more and more companies are thinking of the North as the best place to have office space.”

JERUSALEM — Palestinians clashed with Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem before dawn on Friday as thousands gathered for prayers during the holy month of Ramadan. Medics said that at least 152 Palestinians were wounded.
The holy site, which is sacred to Jews and Muslims, has often been the epicenter of Israeli-Palestinian unrest, and tensions were already heightened amid a recent wave of violence. Clashes at the site last year helped spark an 11-day war with Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
The clashes come at a particularly sensitive time. Ramadan this year coincides with Passover, a major weeklong Jewish holiday beginning Friday at sundown, and Christian holy week, which culminates on Easter Sunday. The holidays are expected to bring tens of thousands of faithful into Jerusalem's Old City, home to major sites sacred to all three religions.
Hours after the clashes began, the police said they had put an end to the violence and arrested "hundreds" of suspects. They said the mosque was re-opened and that Friday's midday prayers would take place as usual. Tens of thousands of people were expected.
Israeli authorities said they had earlier held negotiations with Muslim leaders to ensure calm and allow the prayers to take place, but that Palestinian youths hurled stones at the Mughrabi Gate, which leads to the Western Wall, a major Jewish holy site, triggering the violence.
Palestinian witnesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, said a small group of Palestinians threw rocks at police, who then entered the compound in force, setting off a wider conflagration.
Videos circulating online showed Palestinians throwing rocks and fireworks and police firing tear gas and stun grenades on the sprawling esplanade surrounding the mosque. Others showed worshippers barricading themselves inside the mosque.
Later in the morning, Israeli police entered the mosque itself. Israeli security forces rarely enter the building, and when they do it is seen by Palestinians as a major escalation.
The Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said it treated 152 people, many of them wounded by rubber-coated bullets or stun grenades, or beaten with batons. The endowment said one of the guards at the site was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet.
The Israeli police said three officers were wounded from "massive stone-throwing," with two evacuated from the scene for treatment.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that dozens of masked men carrying Palestinian and Hamas flags had marched to the compound before dawn on Friday and gathered stones and other objects in anticipation of unrest.
"Police were forced to enter the grounds to disperse the crowd and remove the stones and rocks, in order to prevent further violence," it tweeted.
Palestinians view any large deployment of police at Al-Aqsa as a major provocation.
Israel's national security minister, Omer Barlev, who oversees the police force, said Israel had "no interest" in violence at the holy site but that police were forced to confront "violent elements" that attacked them with stones and metal bars. He said Israel was committed to freedom of worship for Jews and Muslims alike.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, speaking at a holiday gathering with security officials, said authorities "are working to calm things on the Temple Mount and throughout Israel. At the same time, we are prepared for any scenario."
The mosque is the third holiest site in Islam. It is built on a hilltop in Jerusalem's Old City that is the most sacred site for Jews, who refer to it as the Temple Mount because it was the site of the Jewish temples in antiquity. It has been a major flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian violence for decades and was the epicenter of the 2000-2005 Palestinian intifada, or uprising.
Israel captured east Jerusalem, home to Al-Aqsa and other major holy sites, in the 1967 war and annexed it in a move not recognized internationally. Palestinians want the eastern part of the city to be the capital of a future independent state including the West Bank and Gaza, which Israel also captured during the war nearly 55 years ago.
Tensions have soared in recent weeks following a series of attacks by Palestinians that killed 14 people inside Israel. Israel has carried out a wave of arrests and military operations across the occupied West Bank, setting off clashes with Palestinians.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 17-year-old died early Friday from wounds suffered during clashes with Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Jenin the day before.
At least 25 Palestinians have been killed in the recent wave of violence, according to an Associated Press count, many of whom had carried out attacks or were involved in the clashes, but also an unarmed woman and a lawyer who appears to have been killed by mistake.
Weeks of protests and clashes in Jerusalem during Ramadan last year eventually ignited an 11-day war with Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules the Gaza Strip.
Israel had lifted restrictions and taken other steps to try and calm tensions ahead of Ramadan, but the attacks and the military raids have brought about another cycle of unrest.
Hamas condemned what it said were "brutal attacks" on worshippers at Al-Aqsa, saying Israel would bear "all the consequences."
Earlier this week, Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza had called on Palestinians to camp out at the Al-Aqsa mosque over the weekend. Palestinians have long feared that Israel plans to take over the site or partition it.
Israeli authorities say they are committed to maintaining the status quo, but in recent years nationalist and religious Jews have visited the site in large numbers with police escorts.
A radical Jewish group recently called on people to bring animals to the site in order to sacrifice them for Passover, offering cash rewards for those who succeeded or even tried. Israeli police work to prevent such activities, but the call was widely circulated by Palestinians on social media, along with calls for Muslims to prevent any sacrifices from taking place.
Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the rabbi of the Western Wall, issued a statement calling on Muslim leaders to act to stop the violence. It also noted that "bringing a sacrifice to the Temple Mount today is in opposition to the decision of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel."

Popular blogger, Linda Ikeji has reacted to the judgement of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja asking her to pay general and exemplary damages of N25 million and publish a written apology to a Claimant, Mrs Ajibola Ajayi, daughter of former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
Following the ruling, the blogger took to Twitter calling the law firm, Olaniwun Ajayi LP ‘an idiot’ lawyer, ‘inexperienced 26 years old’. This was confirmed via her comment on her Twitter handle on Thursday.
Linda Ikeji had reported that the former Oyo State Governor’s daughter had described the protesting LAUTECH students as a “Generation of Mannerless Children.”
“The mother of twins said this on Instagram after a video surfaced that showed Governor Abiola Ajimobi talking down on the students went viral,” the blog claimed.
Shortly after the report, Ajibola issued a statement that the Instagram page, ‘conceited_csj’ does not belong to her.
She stated, “My attention has been drawn to a series of publications on social media and the Internet at large, which claim that I, Mrs Ajibola Ajayi (formerly known as Miss Ajibola Abiola-Ajimobi) ? lambasted? and ? lashed out? at LAUTECH students calling them ?a manner less generation ? on my instagram page?.
“I wish to state that this story is completely false. It is malicious and willfully targeted at maligning and marring my character. This is an example of irresponsible journalism that has now incited hatred and violence against my husband, my children and myself. Over the last 48 hours my reputation has been tarnished and my family and I have been subjected to cyber bullying and harassment. I have also received threats of violence as well as limitless insults as a result of this false publication.
“This has now spiraled out of control hence I feel the need to publicly address it since I have received numerous calls from various people, including friends, family members, colleagues and clients.
“I wish to further state that the instagram page referred to as ?conceited_csj? through which it was alleged that I made the purported statement does not belong to me. Having once been a student myself, I am sympathetic to the plight of the LAUTECH students and empathize with them.”
What Olaniwun Ajayi LP is saying about judgement
The firm tweeted, “Olaniwun Ajayi LP is happy to have successfully represented Mrs. Ajibola Ajayi, the Claimant in Suit No. FCT/CV/667/2018: Mrs Ajibola Ajayi v. Linda Ikeji in an action filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
- “In the action, the Claimant had sued Ms. Linda Ikeji in respect of the defamatory article published in the latter’s blog, https://t.co/96s6uH3OKc on 15.01.17 and 17.01.17 which cited Mrs. Ajibola Ajayi as having described protesting students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, as a “generation of mannerless children” in an Instagram post with the username “conceited_csj”.
- “In the judgment delivered on 12.04.2022, the Court held that the publication by Ms. Ikeji was false and malicious and that the evidence before the Court showed that the Defendant knew that the Instagram account with the username “conceited_csj” did not belong to the Claimant.”
- The law firm added that the Court further held that the publication was made available to readers worldwide, which exposed the Claimant to ridicule by members of the public who read the offending article.
- “In reiterating the trite principle of law that libel is actionable per se, the Court awarded general and exemplary damages in the sum of N25,000,000.00 (Twenty-Five Million Naira) against Ms. Linda Ikeji and directed Ms. Ikeji to publish a written apology to the Claimant in three National tabloids.
- “The Claimant was represented in the action by our Ogunmuyiwa Balogun; and it is our belief that with Judgments like this, media outfits and members of the public will verify sources of their information ahead of publication,” it added.
What Linda Ikeji is saying about the case
She tweeted, “Lol. You’re such an idiot lawyer. I hear you’re an inexperienced 26 year old? How can you file in Lagos and Abuja on the same issue? And then you don’t even inform me? Hope you’re ready for appeal and supreme court? And a countersue? Tell your client to get ready!
“Also if you’re using my name to catch clout like this on social media, gloating and happy… does this mean I’m the biggest client your firm has ever sued and won against? Or is this how you announce all your victories? I should sue you for using my name like this.” | https://nairametrics.com/2022/04/15/n25-million-damages-linda-ikeji-calls-law-firm-idiot-to-appeal-case/ | 2022-04-15T10:56:28Z | https://nairametrics.com/2022/04/15/n25-million-damages-linda-ikeji-calls-law-firm-idiot-to-appeal-case/ | false | 1 |

Food delivery soared during the pandemic shutdowns, and now many of us don't want to give it up. After all, what's easier than sitting on your couch and ordering dinner, then having it show up a half-hour later?
Unfortunately, some people have discovered one shortcoming: restaurants closing early due to staffing shortages, but not alerting their apps or delivery drivers.
Orders online, then wait and wait and wait
Josh Stinson now visits his nearby Subway store in person when he wants his favorite sub sandwich. He says he no longer trusts online ordering after a bad experience.
"I ordered some sandwiches from the Subway app," he said. "They use DoorDash to deliver it."
His subway receipt shows his 8 p.m. order was "in the works," with a delivery time of 8:41 pm that evening. But he waited and waited and waited.
"They took my order, they took my money, and then about 40 minutes later I get a call from the driver saying they are not open, so there was nothing the driver could do," he said.
Worse, the $30 he spent for two subs and sides was gone, and he found it would take a lot of effort to get it refunded.
"I came into the store on Monday and asked about getting my money back," Stinson said, "but they told me I had to contact corporate, and there was nothing they can do at the store."
Online forums fill with complaints about early closings
It's not just Subway facing this complaint, as Redditt forums are filled with posts about fast food restaurants closing early, and no food waiting for the driver at pickup time.
When you open up a delivery app you should see all the restaurants near you, along with if they are open or closed, or closing soon.
But Stinson says some employees told him that if a franchise closes early, it might still take an order.
"They told me if they don't log out of their registers, it can accept orders even if they are not even open," he said.
We sent multiple emails and made several calls to Subway's corporate headquarters, but never received a call or message back. The franchise owner did not return our call either.
DoorDash states that if a restaurant is closed, it will pay half the driver's pay for his time lost, but customer refunds are up to the restaurant.
With most restaurants facing staffing shortages, early closings are a lot more common than before.
So you may want to:

The Eastern Theater Command described the exercises in a statement as “a necessary action based on the present security situation in the Taiwan Strait and the need to safeguard national sovereignty.”
“Taiwan is a sacred and inalienable part of Chinese territory. There is no room for any foreign interference on the Taiwan issue,” the statement said.
As part of the delegation of visiting U.S. lawmakers, Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey gave a speech Friday praising Taiwan's democracy and its global status as a manufacturer of semi-conductor chips used in everything from cars to smartphones, and warned of consequences if that status were jeopardized.
“It is a country of global significance, of global consequence, of global impact, and therefore it should be understood the security of Taiwan has a global impact for those who would wish it ill,” said Menendez, the head of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee, in a speech at Taiwan's Presidential Office.
He emphasized that “we seek no conflict with China as I believe Taiwan seeks no conflict with China.”
The delegation, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, also includes Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Sen. Robert Portman of Ohio, Sen. Benjamin Sasse of Nebraska and Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas.
Tsai said she welcomed their visit and hoped it would help to further deepen US-Taiwan cooperation.
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has proven that democracies must bolster their alliances and collectively we can defend ourselves from the threats posed by authoritarian nations that seek to disrupt regional peace,” said Tsai.
The U.S. is the democratic island's biggest unofficial ally and has stepped up weapons sales to Taiwan in past years. By law, the U.S. is bound to help Taiwan with arms that are defensive in nature. However, the question of whether the U.S. would intervene in the case of a military invasion by China remains open.

Michael Charles Graham
June 15, 1945 - Jan. 6, 2022
HUDSON FALLS - The family of Michael Charles Graham is deeply saddened to announce the enormous loss of their beloved husband, father, father-in-law, Papa, brother, uncle, and friend. Michael passed into the arms of our Lord the afternoon of January 6, 2022 following a long and bravely fought battle with pancreatic cancer.
Michael was the son of Charles and Marion Graham, born on June 15, 1945 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Manhattan, NY. He was born the fifth of seven children, joining his older brothers, Edward, Charles, James, and Francis, and followed by his younger siblings, Patrick and Marianne, all of whom were very special to Michael. Always close, Mike and his brother remained tightly bonded through Fran's battle with cancer. Although family was already a cornerstone value for the Graham family, after Fran's passing this left Michael, Pat, and Marianne especially tight in recent years.
Michael's childhood was spent on Woodycrest Avenue in the Bronx, going to Catholic School where he shared many stories of how the Brothers attempted to keep him in line. Although he did not remain in the Bronx past his teenage years, Michael's roots remained deep. Through time and distance, he preserved connections and traditions from his life in New York, fondly sharing memories throughout his lifetime. At the age of 16, he was recruited to Poultney High School in Vermont due to his legendary skills on the basketball court. Having vacationed at Lake St. Catherine growing up, he was drawn to the area and became a Poultney Blue Devil. He fell in love with the hometown feel in Poultney and forged many dear connections. He had the best of both worlds, maintaining meaningful and close relationships from his childhood and youth through the years and across the miles.
Michael loved his years on the basketball court and set many records during his Blue Devil days. His experiences and accolades on the court impacted the course of Michael's life. He not only carried the values and work ethic with him, but also deeply treasured the friendships and bonds with teammates for years to come.
Following his graduation from Poultney High School in 1965, Mike started his journey at Castleton State College, but was called on a different path. After a short stint back in New York on Wall Street, he ultimately decided to enlist in the Air Force in 1968. He was a member of the Military Police, guarding air crafts overseas when there were threats. Following his service, Michael returned home, eventually finding his way back to Poultney.
Mike's move and time spent in Poultney ultimately led him to meet his future wife and daughter on St. Patrick's Day in 1974 through mutual friends. He always considered this his very own "Irish Blessing." He and his beautiful bride, Donna, knew very quickly they were meant for each other and were married on September 28, 1974. With Mike's marriage to Donna, he adopted her whole family as if they were his own, and their love for Mike was whole-heartedly given right back to him. Mike, Donna, and their daughter, Danielle established their family life in Hudson Falls and welcomed their second daughter Lisa, on January 11, 1979. Throughout their 47-year marriage, they built a life together based on love, forged with hard work, and defined by generosity, creating a haven for family and friends, sharing much joy and laughter through their entire marriage with each other and those around them. Mike considered the gift of his grandchildren, Ella, Juliana, Alex, Anna, Marion, and Rose, to be one of his most cherished blessings. Not only did he take pride in each of his grandchildren's accomplishments, but he often spoke of his pride in watching his two daughters build beautiful lives with their husbands, Bill and Dave, along with their children.
With his family life settled in Hudson Falls, Mike began his long-term career initially at Glens Falls National Bank in credit. Over the years, he pursued his college-level education and began his 31-year-long career in 1978 at what was then known as Glens Falls Cement Company (Lehigh Hanson Cement Company.) He began working at the cement company as a laborer, and through hard work and education was given the opportunity to become the credit manager. In this position, Michael certainly used his professional and educational knowledge, but most importantly his gift of making personal and meaningful connections to develop relationships with his customers. All who knew Mike understood that his title of credit manager was not just a job or career, but another place for him to personally connect with people and forge friendships to last a lifetime.
Mike's life gift of connecting with people and his desire to live in a "big" way reached all aspects of his life from family, to work, to friendships. There is not a person who met him who did not have a "Big-Mike" story, all of them heartfelt, and most of them hysterical. Each connection was uniquely special to Michael and his family, and every memory is cherished. Mike's heart was big enough to hold special compartments for all of the people he loved and there is a special place for the core friendships (many of them golf buddies) that developed and supported him later in his life, particularly through his journey battling cancer.
Michael is predeceased by his parents, Charles and Marion Graham, as well as his brothers Edward, Charles, James, and Francis. He is also being reunited in Heaven and eating jelly donuts with his son-in-law, William Kuba.
Michael leaves behind his devoted wife of 47 years, Donna Graham; his loving daughters, Danielle Kuba and Lisa Winter; his son "in-law" David Winter; and six grandchildren, all of whom were the sparkle in his eyes: Gabriella (Tyler) Hoag, Juliana and Alexander Kuba, and Anna, Marion, and Rose Winter. Left behind to mourn him are his brother and sister, Patrick Graham and Marianne Graham. Also carrying on his memory are sisters- and brothers-in-law and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Mike and his family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Darci Grubbs, Nikole Slowick, PA, nurses Sara and Susan, and all the angels at the C.R Wood Cancer Center at Glens Falls Hospital. Their love and care of Michael on his journey "restored our faith in humanity."
Arrangements will be private and arranged at the convenience of the family.
In lieu of flowers, he would prefer nothing more than prayers for everyone.

There's great news for curious lookie-loos: Public tours of the White House will resume as early as Friday.
Officials announced that the free tours will initially be available from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, excluding federal holidays. Rules for visiting the presidential work-live manse remain the same. According to the White House:
Public tour requests are scheduled on a first come, first served basis and must be submitted through a Member of Congress and their Congressional Tour Coordinator. Constituents may reach your Member of Congress and Congressional Tour Coordinator through the U.S. House of Representative's Switchboard at 202-225-3121, the U.S. Senate Switchboard at 202-224-3121, or online at www.congress.gov/members.
Would-be visitors will also have to get the timing just right. Requests must be submitted 21 days to three months in advance of the desired visit.
The People's House has been periodically closed to the public through part of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, those who are lucky enough to book a slot can get an IRL look into several rooms in the East Wing of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, including the Blue Room, Red Room and Green Room; the State Dining Room; the China Room; and a view of the White House Rose Garden.
The Secret Service can also be a part of the experience. In addition to keeping an eye on the valuables, it's available to answer questions about the history and architecture of each room.
Here's a bit of what visitors can expect to see:
Blue Room
The Blue Room wasn't a thing until 1837, when President Martin Van Buren — the eighth president of the U.S. — introduced the color blue into the decorating scheme.
Before that, there had been a bit of a kerfuffle over how the large oval room, which later became the inspiration for the design of the Oval Office, should be decorated.
Apparently, President James Monroe wanted to deck out the room in a French Empire style and placed an order for a suite of French mahogany furniture through the American firm Russell and La Farge, with offices in Le Havre, France, according to White House records.
"However, the firm shipped gilded furniture instead, asserting that 'mahogany is not generally admitted into the furniture of a Salon, even at private gentlemen's houses.' "
Red Room
The Red Room was mostly yellow until 1845, when President James K. Polk and first lady Sarah Polk added red- and green-covered rocking chairs, ottomans, armchairs and lounges. That's when it went from being called the Washington Parlor to the Red Room.
In March 1877, it became the scene of President-elect Rutherford B. Hayes' historic swearing-in, which in some ways paralleled the Electoral College vote count of Jan. 6, 2021.
The White House Historical Association states on its website:
"Political tensions ran high after his bitterly contested election over Samuel J. Tilden, so Hayes secretly took the Oath of Office at the White House. Inauguration Day fell on a Sunday that year, and this swearing-in avoided a 24-hour delay in the transfer of power and any perceived danger of a coup."
Green Room
John Quincy Adams, the United States' sixth president, came up with the idea of calling this room the Green Drawing Room sometime between 1825 and 1829, according to the White House.
"The inspiration for the name may have come from Thomas Jefferson's use of the space as a dining room, when he covered the floor with a green-colored canvas for protection."
During its most recent renovation, then-first lady Melania Trump added a portrait of former first lady Edith Roosevelt, wife of President Theodore Roosevelt.
State Dining Room
The State Dining Room has been through some wild makeovers, growing from an intimate space to a cavernous hall that can seat up to 140 guests.
While today's version, most recently revamped by then-first lady Michelle Obama, is calming and elegant, with ivory walls and a muted blue rug, earlier versions included intricate wall paintings and walls in "many shades and textures of yellow and highlighted in silver," according to the White House Historical Association.
President Theodore Roosevelt expanded the dining room and added some personal touches that were very on-brand for the outdoorsman: He hung "a large moose head above the fireplace and placed other game trophies on the natural oak panels," states the association's website.
China Room
This room is entirely dedicated to holding and displaying china used by dozens of U.S. presidents. It was first called the Presidential Collection Room, but in 1917, Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, President Woodrow Wilson's second wife, decided to display the growing collection of White House china throughout the room.
The Associated Press reported that first lady Mamie Eisenhower "was instrumental in locating the personal china of Presidents Johnson, Taft, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover to complete the collection."
White House Rose Garden
Yes, it's called the Rose Garden, but countless other blooms are to be found, depending on the season.
While the garden was established in 1913, it was President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy who in 1961 decided to breathe new life into the space.
The White House Historical Association states that the couple was inspired after a state visit to France, England and Austria: "The President had noted that the White House had no garden equal in quality or attractiveness to the gardens that he had seen and in which he had been entertained in Europe. There he had recognized the importance of gardens surrounding an official residence and their appeal to the sensibilities of all people."

Saddle River dismisses affordable housing project at site of Rosie O'Donnell mansion
SADDLE RIVER — On the eve of an anticipated court ruling to determine the borough's compliance with its affordable housing settlement, the Planning Board dismissed an application for one of its affordable housing sites Wednesday.
The board's vote on the O'Donnell project for East Allendale Road was precipitated by developer Michael Kasparian after he could not reach an agreement with the board over the height of a retaining wall, one of nine variance and waiver points being debated that night.
Kasparian said Thursday, "we will file a lawsuit to enforce our rights."
"The dismissal of our site plan application is a breach of the Borough's obligations under the terms of our collective Fair Share Housing Settlement Agreement," he said in an email.
Under a 2020 settlement agreement, the borough would be in default if it failed to approve the 60-unit project with eight affordable units. Judge Gregg Padovano could then refuse to extend the borough's immunity to other affordable housing proposals, potentially exposing it to more development.
Jonathan Drill, the borough's affordable housing attorney, had no comment Thursday on how the borough would proceed.
Developer attorney Kenneth Porro said Thursday "the Planning Board’s unilateral decision to dismiss my applicant’s filing without prejudice gives pause."
"The Board can either approve or deny" an application, Porro said by email. "The Board’s action to dismiss without prejudice, without any input whatsoever from the court-appointed master or the Fair Housing litigation parties is puzzling."
The Fair Share Housing Center, which negotiated the settlement, did not respond to a request for comment. The O'Donnell site is one of four designated in the settlement.
VOTE DELAYED:Saddle River postpones vote on contested affordable housing proposal
APARTMENT PROJECT OK'D:Saddle River OKs 112-unit affordable apartment complex; balks at vote on 60-unit project
O'DONNELL BEGINS:Affordable housing hearings on 'O'Donnell site' begin in Saddle River
The borough held 19 hearings over 14 months on its affordable housing plan before submitting its case in December. By contrast, neighboring Upper Saddle River's plan was approved during a 45-minute lunch break last February.
Hearings on the O'Donnell project began in November, with the first four taken up with developer expert testimony, followed by unlimited periods of public comment and questions that were allowed by board chairman Jeff Liva over developer protests because "residents have a right to be heard."
Only when Drill began attending meetings in February did the board conduct hearings along more traditional lines, limiting residents to questions and topics within the board's jurisdiction and reserving comments for the end of hearings. Wednesday's vote was taken before those comments could be heard.
A second 112-unit 100% affordable apartment project on Choctau Trail was approved by the board in January with little public interest after two hearings. But that was next to Route 17 north in an isolated part of the borough. The O'Donnell project is next to the borough's Wandell School and across the street from Borough Hall. Wednesday's was its eighth hearing.
Borough planner Joseph Burgis issued a series of letters starting last September outlining concerns about the project. But it was only at Wednesday's hearing that the retaining wall was discussed in any detail. Concern was expressed about safety for children living in the project because of the height of the wall.
Kasparian and Porro debated back and forth with the board over the retention wall until Drill suggested continuing the meeting to May 25 so the plans could be formalized, triggering Kasparian's call for a vote.

Eppley Institute unveils five-year plan for Avoca Park
AVOCA — The rough draft for Avoca Park and Recreation's five-year plan has been presented to the public to raise awareness of the recreational area's needs moving forward.
The five-year plan is being developed in close consultation with Eppley Institute for Parks and Public Lands, an IU-affiliated group specializing in public park management. Acceptance of the five-year plan will enable the Avoca Park and Recreation Board to secure more development opportunities and grant funds in the future.
'No reason to believe there was a tornado': Bedford spared major damage in Wednesday storm.
Layne Elliott, a project manager at Eppley Institute, led the presentation. Elliott described what is known as a master planning process. This approach features four steps. These are the collection of data, engaging the public, analyzing data to assess needs and creating an action plan. Master plans are fundamental for determining community needs and current service levels. They are updated every five to 10 years.
The process of developing this plan has incorporated input from various stakeholders. 126 surveys were completed to gain a better understanding of the park's needs and which improvements should be prioritized according to those who visit the park for social and recreational activities.
Elliott shared the survey results with those in attendance. There is a strong demand for additional trails, restrooms and playgrounds. The surveys also indicated that a greater variety of programs are wanted at the park as well. These include public events, festivals and picnics. Environmental education programs are also desired. Adding farmer's markets to the park was also listed as a future possibility.
Needs assessment
Public feedback was also used to craft a needs assessment. This review examines the scope of programs, the number of volunteers and other services the park currently offers and compares this with accessibility improvements. The park's routes, restrooms, trail and swing set were each identified as potential areas for improvement to make the park more accessible. The Needs Assessment consisted of five major themes: repair and renovations, operations, revenue generation, accessibility and future progress.
The Needs Assessment also projected that current repair and replacement expenditures could rise as high as $1,089,849. Of this total, $154,730 is estimated to be critical spending, $198,615 is important and $736,504 has been deemed flexible.
"While the 5-Year Plan presentation reveals over $1 million in needs, not all needs are critical. I believe ADA Compliance & accessibility, and septic repair are essential to getting the buildings ready to rent," Marshall Township Trustee candidate Chris Noel said.
What's happening in local politics: Four vying for Lawrence County Council District 1 seat in GOP primary election.
Noel said once the plan is finalized, Avoca Park and Recreation Board members and the public will have access to more resources as renovation and maintenance efforts are set to intensify.
"Income generated from events will be crucial to cover the costs of running the park. I'm also excited by the possibility of having a Farmer's Market at the park, what a wonderful thing that could be for the community," Noel said. "The soon-to-be-completed five-year plan will be placed on file with the state and will open up many funding options to address Avoca Park's larger needs."
The plan identified multiple defects within the park. Some of these include replacing the park's sewage treatment and septic system, making bathrooms more handicap accessible and paving the park's parking lot.
There are also several projects aimed at improving the 13 earthen ponds located throughout the park. These include preparing dam leaks, replacing dam dewatering valves, widening and stabilizing pond levees, and other related tasks.
The Hamer House is also in need of some renovations. It was originally built nearly 200 years ago. Some projects include replacing the bathroom subfloor, replacing windows and installing central A/C. | https://www.tmnews.com/story/news/2022/04/15/iu-eppley-institute-avoca-park-recreation-plan-bedford-indiana-development/7274952001/ | 2022-04-15T11:14:06Z | https://www.tmnews.com/story/news/2022/04/15/iu-eppley-institute-avoca-park-recreation-plan-bedford-indiana-development/7274952001/ | false | 1 |

'Best No 10 Camp Nou has seen' - Eintracht Frankfurt troll Barcelona with Messi reference after Europa League win
Eintracht Frankfurt have taken a dig at Barcelona and Lionel Messi by hailing Filip Kostic as the "best number 10" ever to play in Camp Nou after his starring role in their 3-2 win at Barcelona on Thursday.
The German side booked their place in the semi-finals of the Europa League by beating the Catalan side on home soil to secure a 4-3 aggregate win.
Kostic was the key man for the Bundesliga team, scoring two and setting up the other as they took a 3-0 lead before Sergio Busquets and Memphis Depay struck late on for the hosts.

They also posted a video of Kostic holding his shirt up in front of the crowd, echoing an iconic Messi celebration after scoring against Real Madrid.
Trapp: I thought I was in Frankfurt
Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp was delighted with his side's display and praised the club's fans, who turned out in big numbers to support their team in Barcelona.
He said: "Everyone thought we'd come here and Barcelona would shoot us out of the stadium.
"We knew we were going to suffer a lot and that Barcelona would have a lot of possession. We had to take action against this; be very, very focused and take advantage of the chances we get going forward. We also had to be efficient - and we did that in a great manner today.
"I came out for the warm up and I thought I was in Frankfurt. It was incredible. It was very, very loud during the match and that is something really special. That's why it was so important to us to stay with the fans after the match and celebrate with them.
"They went though a lot to come here and support us. It also shows that everyone in and around Frankfurt believed we could do this tonight." | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/frankfurt-troll-barcelona-messi-europa-league/blt6bfa5d8d3aab2598 | 2022-04-15T11:17:51Z | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/frankfurt-troll-barcelona-messi-europa-league/blt6bfa5d8d3aab2598 | false | 10 |

More details on Validea's James P. O'Shaughnessy strategy
About James P. O'Shaughnessy: Research guru and money manager James O'Shaughnessy forced many professional and amateur investors alike to rethink their investment beliefs when he published his 1996 bestseller, What Works on Wall Street. O'Shaughnessy back-tested 44 years of stock market data from the comprehensive Standard & Poor's Compustat database to find out which quantitative strategies have worked over the years and which haven't. To the surprise of many, he concluded that price/earnings ratios aren't the best indicator of a stock's value, and that small-company stocks, contrary to popular wisdom, don't as a group have an edge on large-company stocks. Today O'Shaughnessy is the Chief Investment Officer of O'Shaughnessy Asset Management.

SALINAS, Calif. (AP) — A massive fire at a Northern California food processing plant prompted authorities to tell thousands of nearby residents to evacuate Thursday and to order tens of thousands more to stay inside their homes.
The fire at the Taylor Farms packaged salad plant in Salinas, about 110 miles (177 kilometers) south of San Francisco, started Wednesday night and was still burning Thursday morning.
Authorities initially said they feared the fire could generate an explosion and a plume of hazardous ammonia, but the Salinas Fire Department said later that those threats appeared to be minimal.
About 2,700 people living closest to the plant were told that they should evacuate while 35,000 more were ordered to shelter inside their homes, the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services said in a statement.
Those staying home were told to shut windows and to turn off ventilation systems “until further notice,” the statement said.
Officials said some people evacuated after the fire was reported at 7:15 p.m. Officials did not say what caused the fire.
A woman who answered the phone at Taylor Farms in Salinas told a reporter seeking comment to call back later for information.
Salinas has a population of about 160,000 people and is in a key agricultural region. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/california-food-plant-fire-prompts-evacuation-of-thousands/ | 2022-04-15T11:31:51Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/california-food-plant-fire-prompts-evacuation-of-thousands/ | true | 21 |

President Muhammadu Buhari, the Northern Governors Forum (NGF) and Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, have congratulated the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, as he marked his 65th birthday anniversary yesterday.
In a statement yesterday by his Media Adviser, Femi Adesina, the president joined family members, friends and associates to celebrate the milestone with the business magnate.
Buhari shared the memorable occasion with the Dangote Group, which includes management and members of staff, and the many visionary leaders that daily redefine the livelihood of Nigerians for the better, and drive competitiveness in the economy with clear ranking of excellence in provision of goods and services.
He affirmed the footprints of the consummate businessman in key sectors of the economy, and the remarkable results achieved in production and supply of food items, making him a household name.
He also praised Dangote’s dynamism in buoying the economy through heavy investments in building Africa’s largest refinery, fertiliser manufacturing company, and cement factories.
Buhari appreciated the patriotism, simplicity and wisdom that Dangote has consistently displayed, making Nigeria and Nigerians his first priority, while setting example for many that charity truly begins from home.
The President wished him greater service to God, country, and humanity.
On their part, members of the NGF described Alhaji Aliko Dangote as a pride to the North, Nigeria, and Africa, adding that his business prowess has brought succor to humanity across the globe.
According a statement by the Chairman of NGF, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State, the success of Dangote in the business world has impacted the lives of the citizens positively and contributed enormously to the economic growth of the country and continent at large.
Commending him for maintaining his vision of industralising Nigeria and Africa as well as also ensuring that the nation’s economy is developed in line with the abundant human and natural endowments of Nigeria which are largely under-utilised, the governors said they were particularly excited about the role that Africa’s richest businessman had played, and has continued to play in creating jobs and fighting unemployment.
Lalong said the Forum cherishes the goodwill and solidarity that Dangote has extended to states individually and collectively through direct investments in the local economy as well as his philanthropic interventions to the indigent, particularly victims of crises in the region who are displaced or traumatised.
Urging him to continue to carry on with his landmark investment activities such as the refinery which is expected to contribute significantly to Nigeria’s development, the Governors wish him God’s blessings and protection
Sanwo-Olu in a statement noted that the business magnate was doing a lot for Nigeria by contributing to the growth of her economy and providing jobs and empowerment for millions of people, especially youths in different parts of the country.
Sanwo-Olu in the birthday message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, yesterday, also praised Dangote’s contribution to the economy of Nigeria through his various manufacturing companies in different parts of the country, especially the Dangote Fertilizer Plant and the Dangote Refinery in Lekki, Lagos.
He said: “On behalf of my wife, Ibijoke, Lagos State Government, and the good people of Lagos State, I join family, friends and business associates to congratulate you (Alhaji Aliko Dangote) on your 65th birthday celebration.
“You are a blessing to your generation considering how God has been using you to put smiles on the faces of many Nigerians working in your companies. You are an employer of labour and a respected business magnate who is contributing positively to the economy of Nigeria.
“Lagos is happy to associate with you because of the tremendous work you are doing in our State by setting up two of your major companies – Dangote Fertilizer Plant and Dangote Refinery – that have provided job opportunities for thousands of Lagosians.
“We want to thank God for the grace upon your life and for using your business acumen and philanthropic gestures for good cause in our society.
“I wish you all the very best on your 65th birthday. I pray that God will grant you long life and sound health for you to continue to contribute to humanity.” | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/04/11/buhari-govs-eulogise-business-magnate-aliko-dangote-at-65/ | 2022-04-15T11:33:40Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/04/11/buhari-govs-eulogise-business-magnate-aliko-dangote-at-65/ | false | 2 |

In view of the lifting of the ban on certain public activities by the federal government, following earlier restrictions imposed due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the Archbishop of the Lagos Archdiocese, Rt. Rev. Alfred Adewale Martins, has announced the resumption of full worship activities in the church, and activities of Christian worship across all Catholic church in the Lagos Archdiocese.
The announcement further stated that the usual public procession and other liturgical activities associated with the Palm Sunday and Easter celebrations, including night programmes, would be fully observed.
Specifically, the reception of the Holy Communion by faithful which had since the outbreak of the pandemic been on the hands, have now been made optional, to be received either on the tongue or on the palms.
Similarly, a major highlight of the Holy Week event, which is the veneration of the cross during which people are expected to kiss the Holy Cross, is still restricted to only the celebrant, while the other worshippers would venerate the cross by bowing to it.
He, however, emphasised that basic hygiene and preventive measures like washing of hands often, wearing of face masks and use of hand sanitisers should be maintained as usual. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/04/11/covid-19-catholic-church-relaxes-restrictions-begins-full-activities/ | 2022-04-15T11:34:22Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/04/11/covid-19-catholic-church-relaxes-restrictions-begins-full-activities/ | true | 1 |
KYIV, Ukraine — A day after Moscow suffered a stinging symbolic defeat with the loss of the flagship of its Black Sea fleet, Russia's Defense Ministry promised Friday to ramp up missile attacks on the Ukrainian capital in response to Ukraine's alleged military "diversions on the Russian territory."
The threat of intensified attacks on Kyiv came after Russian authorities accused Ukraine of launching airstrikes on residential buildings in Bryansk, a region that borders Ukraine, and wounding seven people. Authorities in another border region of Russia also reported Ukrainian shelling Thursday.
Life in Kyiv has been gradually returning to some normalcy after Russia failed to capture the capital and withdrew its troops in northern Ukraine to focus on a concentrated assault in the country's east. A renewed bombardment could return the city's residents to sheltering in subway stations and the steady wail of air raid sirens.
Ukrainian officials have not confirmed striking targets in Russia, and the reports by Russian authorities could not be independently verified. However, Ukrainian officials claimed their forces struck a key Russian warship with missiles on Thursday. If true, the claim would represent an important victory.
The guided-missile cruiser Moskva, named for the Russian capital, sank while being towed to port after suffering heavy damage under circumstances that remained in dispute. Moscow acknowledged a fire on board but not any attack. U.S. and other Western officials could not confirm what caused the blaze.
The Moskva had the capacity to carry 16 long-range cruise missiles, and its removal reduces Russia's firepower in the Black Sea. The warship's loss in an invasion already widely seen as a historic blunder also was a symbolic defeat for Moscow as its troops regroup for an offensive in eastern Ukraine after retreating from much of the north.
During the first days of the war, the crew of the Moskva reportedly called on Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island in the Black Sea to surrender in a standoff. A widely circulated recording featured a Ukrainian soldier saying in response: "Russian warship, go (expletive) yourself."
The Associated Press could not independently verify the Snake Island incident, but Ukraine and its supporters consider it an iconic moment of defiance. The country recently unveiled a postage stamp commemorating it.
If Ukraine hit the Moskva with missiles, the cruiser likely represents the largest warship to be sunk in combat since the 1982 Falklands War, which saw a similar-sized cruiser called the ARA General Belgrano torpedoed by a British submarine, killing over 300 sailors on board.
In his nightly address Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Ukrainians they should be proud of having survived 50 days under Russian attack when the invaders "gave us a maximum of five."
Listing the ways Ukraine has defended against the onslaught, Zelenskyy mentioned "those who showed that Russian warships can sail away, even if it's to the bottom" of the sea. It was his only reference to the Moskva.
News about the flagship overshadowed Russian claims of advances in the southern port city of Mariupol, where Moscow's forces have been battling the Ukrainians since the early days of the invasion in some of the heaviest fighting of the war — at a horrific cost to civilians.
Dwindling numbers of Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol are holding out against a siege that has trapped well over 100,000 civilians in desperate need of food, water and heating. David Beasley, executive director of the U.N. World Food Program, told AP in an interview Thursday that people are being "starved to death" in the besieged city.
Mariupol's mayor said this week that more than 10,000 civilians had died and the death toll could surpass 20,000.
Mariupol's capture is critical for Russia because it would allow its forces in the south, which came up through the annexed Crimean Peninsula, to fully link up with troops in the Donbas region, Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland and the target of the looming offensive.
The Russian military continues to move helicopters and other equipment into place for such an effort, according to a senior U.S. defense official, and it is likely to add more ground combat units soon. But it's still unclear when Russia might launch a full-scale campaign in the Donbas.
Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukraine in the region since 2014, the same year Russia seized Crimea. Russia has recognized the independence of the rebel regions in the Donbas.
Maksym Marchenko, governor of the Odesa region, said Ukrainian forces struck the Moskva with two Neptune missiles and caused "serious damage."
Russia's Defense Ministry said ammunition on board detonated as a result of a fire, without saying what caused the blaze. It said the "main missile weapons" were not damaged and that the crew, usually numbering about 500, abandoned the vessel. It wasn't clear if there were any casualties. In addition to the cruise missiles, the warship also had air-defense missiles and other guns.
The Neptune is an anti-ship missile that was recently developed by Ukraine based on an earlier Soviet design. The launchers are mounted on trucks stationed near the coast, and, according to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, can hit targets up to 280 kilometers (175 miles) away. That would have put the Moskva within range, based on where the ship was when the fire began.
Launched as the Slava in 1979, the cruiser saw service in the Cold War and during conflicts in Georgia and Syria, and helped conduct peacetime scientific research with the United States. During the Cold War, it carried nuclear weapons.
British defense officials said the Moskva's loss would likely force Moscow to change the way its naval forces operate in the Black Sea. In a social media post Friday, the U.K. Ministry of Defense said the ship, which returned to operational service last year after a major refit, "served a key role as both a command vessel and air defense node."
The sinking "means Russia has now suffered damage to two key naval assets since invading Ukraine, the first being Russia's Alligator-class landing ship Saratov on 24 March. Both events will likely lead Russia to review its maritime posture in the Black Sea," the British ministry said.
On Thursday, other Russian ships in the northern Black Sea moved farther south after the Moskva incident, said a senior U.S. defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal military assessments.
While the U.S. was not able to confirm Ukraine's claims of striking the warship, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan called it "a big blow to Russia."
"They've had to kind of choose between two stories: One story is that it was just incompetence, and the other was that they came under attack, and neither is a particularly good outcome for them," Sullivan told the Economic Club of Washington.
Russia invaded Feb. 24 and has lost potentially thousands of fighters. The conflict has killed untold numbers of Ukrainian civilians and forced millions more to flee.
It has also further inflated prices at grocery stores and gasoline pumps, while dragging on the global economy. The head of the International Monetary Fund said Thursday that the war helped push the organization to downgrade economic forecasts for 143 countries.

'We are building this team for the next three-four years.'
Star batter Suryakumar Yadav urged one and all to show patience with an out of sorts Mumbai Indians, saying the five-time champions are currently undergoing a transition phase.
They have lost their first five matches in IPL 2022 and face a near-impossible task to get back into the reckoning for a play-offs berth, needing to win at least eight of the remaining nine games.
"As you have seen, it is a fresh auction and we are building this team for the next three-four years.
"Coming a few years down the line you will see some great players coming out from this team," said Suryakumar, at a virtual pre-match press conference in Mumbai on Friday, which was an indicator that Mumbai Indians' current season could well be over even before the mid-phase of the league.
In a bold gamble at the Indian Premier League’s mega auction, the franchise’s think-tank spent Rs 8-crore on English star pacer Jofra Archer despite his unavailability for the season, while it let go left-arm pacer Trent Boult.
Their bowling has lost the sting in absence of the Kiwi pacer and the spin duo of Rahul Chahar and Krunal Pandya.
The workload has come heavily on Jasprit Bumrah, as the likes of Daniel Sams, Tymal Mills, Basil Thampi and Jaydev Unadkat have looked pedestrian.
Surya cited the emergence of young South African batter Dewald Brevis and young left-handed batter Tilak Varma to emphasize his point.
"There have been a lot of positives, not only a few; you can see Dewald (Brevis), Tilak (Varma), and many more new faces," he added.
No need to press panic button
Mumbai Indians are still in search of their first win this season and they languish at the bottom of the ten-team table after five matches.
But Surya says they're not a team to press the panic button.
"We are playing some good cricket from game one and there is no situation like panicking for a team like Mumbai Indians. We have been following good processes in the past few years and we are just sticking to it.
"If we just keep doing it, we will eventually get our first win. We just have to keep working hard towards our goal together, which we are doing in practice sessions, and that is about it," he added.
Asked whether seniors in the team should take more responsibility, he replied: "Everyone is trying their best; no one actually gets out like that. I mean it is all about a few games and the way they are playing, the way they have been putting hard work in the practice sessions. I am sure it is going to come on."
So how does Surya motivate his teammates?
"Everyone around is motivated already; I don't need to push anyone. If you play for Mumbai Indians that self-motivation is always there."
After his comeback from injury, Surya has been in good form. He said sticking to what he loves doing has reflected on his performances.
"And speaking about myself, I have been just sticking to what I love doing; doing the same thing during practice sessions and it is reflecting on the game. I am really happy about it."
Flexible to bat anywhere
For the past two years, Suryakumar has been batting at No 3, but this season he is batting lower down the order -- at four and five.
"That is a management's call, but, like I have always said, I am always flexible to bat at any position, be it three, four, five or six. The number doesn't matter to me.
“What matters is what I can do in that situation."

Small business owners have made a plea to the federal finance minister to consider more help paying off their pandemic-related debts as the sixth wave of COVID-19 causes customers to stay home and sales to fall.
The request is one Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has faced repeatedly in recent days during a cross-country post-budget tour.
Her response has been that emergency measures are no longer needed with the crisis passed, the economy running hot and the government needing to tighten its fiscal belt.
Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said underneath the headline economic numbers only two in five of his members report being back to normal sales.
He said more are worried about the impact on revenues and their ability to repay loans with people staying home despite provinces removing public health restrictions.
His members put those concerns to Freeland during a webinar on the budget and Kelly said he walked away believing the finance minister heard their concerns.
The budget doesn't include any further extensions of emergency benefit programs that will come to a close on May 7, but Freeland told those on the webinar, "I hear you," when asked about debt relief, adding a moment later, "let's keep on talking."
CFIB members have, on average, taken on $160,000 in pandemic-related debt, with about $60,000 of that from a key federal loan program.
The government has set December 2023 as the deadline to repay those loans with zero interest and benefit for having a portion forgiven, though many small business owners believe they'll need until 2024 to afford the repayments.
"Yes, streets are busier again, yes, the headline economic numbers are positive, but there are loads and loads of small firms — especially in retail, hospitality, the service sector and arts and entertainment — that are still hanging on by their fingernails and are now deeper in debt," Kelly said in an interview.
"There were huge amounts of new spending on almost every line in the budget, and yet for any kind of business support, it was pretty thin."
He said about three-quarters of CFIB members said they didn't find the federal budget helpful, soured by a lack of movement on debt relief and another delay on a promise to lower the fees merchants pay every time a shopper pays with a credit card.
This budget promises to continue consultations promised in last year's budget, which built on an election pledge the Liberals made in 2019.
"I would love to be able to satisfy every single thing that you think you would like to see the federal government doing, but I recognize I'm not doing that and I never will," Freeland told CFIB members.
"What I will say to you is I am always mindful when putting together the budget, when advancing policies, I am mindful and thoughtful about what they will mean for small business."
One positive Kelly saw in the budget was a promise to raise the limit for small businesses to benefit from a lower tax rate, which he said should remove disincentives for small companies to grow.

Brings 24/7 remote monitoring to any location; includes built-in video storage with no monthly fees
BELLEVUE, Wash., April 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- eufy Security, Anker Innovations' smart security brand, today introduced the 4G Starlight Camera, its first 4G-enabled smart security camera. The Starlight camera is perfect for use in WiFi-challenged areas including homes located on large properties and in rural areas, as well as farms, hunting areas, construction sites, RVs and warehouses. The 4G Starlight Camera is available for purchase starting today on eufylife.com and Amazon.com.
"Maintaining constant WiFi connectivity can be difficult for homeowners living off the grid or on large properties," said Frank Zhu, eufy Security General Manager. "The 4G Starlight solves that problem by integrating 4G connectivity into a powerful 2K camera with local data storage and best-in-class battery life."
2K Clarity All Day and All Night
The eufy 4G Starlight Camera is the first 4G security camera designed with 2K resolution and a night sensor to allow users to see colors in ultra-dark environments without needing a separate spotlight.

The 4G Starlight Camera provides long-lasting power thanks to an integrated battery that supplies up to three months of standby service (2X the battery life of typical 4G cameras). Users can also take advantage of an optional 2.6W solar panel that can continuously power the camera with six hours of direct sunlight each day.

Compared with most 4G security cameras which only have motion detection, the eufy Security 4G Starlight Camera provides human detection AI, which helps reduce false alarms by up to 95% and provides 99% image accuracy. Additionally, users can adjust the camera's detection sensitivity by setting activity zones through the eufy Security app and receive real-time alerts when motion is detected.

Sir Alex Ferguson was renowned for giving players the 'hairdryer treatment' - but Roy Keane wasn't one of them.
The Irishman had a successful partnership under the legendary boss as he spent 12 years at the Red Devils, eight as captain, winning a dozen major honours, including four Premier League titles.
But the pair's relationship plummeted when Keane went public with his desire to leave United at the end of the 2005/06 season. That prompted a bitter fallout with the former United midfielder claiming that he will never forgive Ferguson for the part he played in his departure, demanding an apology from Fergie.
Sir Alex's style of management was a fairly traditional one and he would not hold back if a player did not perform to the required standards or stepped out of line - also known as the 'hairdryer.' But Keane admitted he was never on the receiving end of one of Sir Alex's infamous rants as the Scot used a different method to motivate and get the best out of the midfielder.
The Sky Sports pundit revealed in 2019 that it was a case of saying "the right thing at the right time" and if he saw that Ferguson was disappointed in him, he would do anything to make up for it because he didn't want to let him or the club down.
Keane said: "The brilliance with Sir Alex Ferguson, you'd be in a situation either before the game or at half-time and I just felt they said the right thing at the right time, just what the team needed. As I got older, I analysed what I thought the players needed, they'd always get it spot on, I'd think 'that's just brilliant what they've said there.'
"You hear about the hairdryer treatment. I never really had the hairdryer treatment for a performance, he might have given me it for an off-the-field incident. The players had huge respect for him, ultimately you didn't want to let him down, you wanted to give your all.
"I was really poor one game, at home against Aston Villa I think. He spoke to me at half-time, forget the hairdryer treatment, I could see the disappointment in his face, it was like a dagger in the heart and I'm letting this man down, the club down. It wasn't always about the hairdryer, these stories can grow legs."
Despite their personal beef, Keane has a lot of respect for Ferguson professionally and what he did for his career. But it was never a case that he was ever "in" with Sir Alex as he revealed he wasn't one of the senior players who would routinely have a cup of tea with him in the canteen.
Asked if he had a close relationship with Ferguson during his time as captain, Keane added: "I don't think so. I know some of the senior players would go upstairs and have a cup of tea with Sir Alex. They'd be all having a chit-chat. I never wanted that relationship with any manager I worked with.
Who was to blame for the bitter fallout between Sir Alex Ferguson and Roy Keane? Comment below
"Our relationship was built on loving Manchester United and wanting to do what was best for them. There was huge respect between us but that was probably lost in the end, unfortunately.
"Ultimately, I look back at my time with Sir Alex Ferguson and he was a brilliant manager and very good to me, there is no getting away from that. It (the fallout) doesn't take away from my career at United, 12-and-a-half years, it was fantastic.
"These things happen towards the end. I never felt I was 'in' with Sir Alex Ferguson because I was captain, you know pals. We always kept it pure and professional. This idea of going having a cup of tea in the canteen and biscuit, not for me." | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/man-utd-roy-keane-ferguson-26720447 | 2022-04-15T11:45:46Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/man-utd-roy-keane-ferguson-26720447 | true | 2 |

Bharti Singh is back in the action. The ace comedian who was working throughout her pregnancy has resumed work within 12 days of her delivery and it is nothing but inspirational. Bharti Singh is surely setting an example that a mother can handle work and home PERFECTLY. However, many feel that women should stay home after having a baby, 'kyunki ek maa ki bachche ka khayal rakh sakti hai' mentality is not ending soon. While her fans are hailing her and calling her the most powerful woman, the other netizens are slamming her and calling her Laaclhi( greedy). In the video, you can see Bharti talking to the photographers and saying that she is sad as she had to leave her 12-day son at home due to work commitments.

But this comment of Bharti hasn't got down well with lots of followers on Instagram and they have been picking out Bharti on the same. One user wrote, " It’s not recommended at all, Government gives 6 months and the precedence she is setting is morally wrong. This is not symbolic of the strength of a woman at all, rather her lust to earn money. Women who take time off after delivery are no less strong they are just wiser in knowing what their priorities are. Stop promoting this bullshit". Another user wrote, " paiso ki laalchi, apna bacchay ka khayal rakho paise ky dubara kama saktay hoo".

While one user accused Bharti of setting a wrong example for every woman, " Setting a wrong precedent as someone who can easily afford to not work for a few months. it's not that the producer/organizer is forcing her to attend work this soon. There are women who don't have a choice but to work asap after delivery to make ends meet.. she need not glorify this culture and set a wrong example being a celebrity. While some were concerned about her health and asked her to rest at least for a month.

Toyota recalls 460,000 vehicles for stability control glitch
Published: Apr. 13, 2022 at 4:25 PM CDT
DETROIT (AP) — Toyota is recalling about 460,000 vehicles in the U.S. to fix a software problem that can inadvertently disable the electronic stability control system.
The automaker says that when the vehicles are restarted, the software in rare cases may not automatically switch the system into the “on” mode. That can disable the system.
The recall covers 2020 to 2022 models including the Toyota brand’s Venza, Mirai, RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime, Sienna Hybrid, and Highlander Hybrid. Also included are the LS500h, LX600, NX350h, and NX450h-plus from the Lexus luxury brand.
Dealers will update software on the skid control computer to fix the problem.
Owners will be notified by mid-June.

The president of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints became the faith’s oldest leader in history on Thursday at 97 years, seven months and six days.
President Russell Nelson, a former heart surgeon, has led the faith known widely as the Mormon church since 2018 and oversees everything from the church’s multibillion-dollar financial holdings to church doctrine and policy. Members of the faith believe the president-prophet receives divine revelation and direct word from God.
Church presidents serve until they die.
Nelson’s surpasses the previous oldest church president, Gordon B. Hinckley, who died in 2008 at the age of 97 after serving 13 years.
Though the church continues to expand worldwide and grow its membership, Nelson’s record age reflects the broader composition of its aging white male leadership. He and his top two counselors who form what the church calls “the first presidency” are 97, 89 and 88 year-old white men, all older than President Joe Biden, 79, and Pope Francis, the 85-year-old leader of the Catholic Church.
Nelson has thus far served for four years as president, a much shorter period than his immediate predecessors, who served about eight and 10 years. Before becoming president, he served for 34 years as a high-ranking church official.

Plans for a huge new apartment complex reaching 50 storeys in Birmingham have been unveiled which could also see the famous old King Kong statue making a return to the city.
Jewellery Quarter developer Cordia Blackswan is behind the proposed scheme in Thorp Street in the Southside district which would contain 487 units to rent, ranging from one bedroom to penthouse apartments.
The scheme, next to the Hippodrome theatre and Birmingham Royal Ballet buildings, would also have a lounge for residents on the 48th floor containing workspace, a library, cinema, games room and garden area.
A restaurant and bar is proposed for the 49th floor coupled with an observation deck taking the entirety of the top floor which will be accessible to the public.
New commercial units are planned for the ground floor, the existing 17 Thorp Street building will be retained and used as commercial space while a bike hub, gym, spa and wellbeing area has been earmarked for the first and second floors.

The tall tower, which has been designed by Digbeth-based practice K4 Architects, has been called 'Act One' while the wider scheme including new public realm is branded 'Chung Ying Plaza'.
A central feature of this will be the return of Nicholas Monro's famous 1972 King Kong sculpture which once stood proud outside Birmingham's old Bull Ring Centre and at other locations in the city before taking up long-term residence in Edinburgh and latterly elsewhere in the UK.
A report prepared in support of the newly submitted planning application said 'Chung Ying' was a Cantanose term which translates as 'China and England' and Chung Ying Street famously linked Hong Kong and Shenzhen in mainland China, signifying the close links between England and China.
The application site is currently home to the former Chung Ying Garden restaurant which closed in 2018 after it was fined £30,000 for food hygiene breaches.
This would be demolished to make way for the new scheme. Subject to consent, construction work will start on site in summer 2023 with a proposed completion date of early 2027.
The report added: "It will deliver a diverse mix of uses that fully embrace future patterns of living and working, with a focus on health, wellbeing and social interaction.
"The project will reinvigorate, reanimate and kickstart the regeneration of this underutilised and neglected part of Southside and complement surrounding development by creating critical mass, increase footfall, a greater sense of place, destination and focus for further investment while creating a link into the Smithfield regeneration area.
"The project has been founded as part of a wider masterplan developed alongside other key stakeholders and seeks to create a new mini district and interconnected neighbourhoods, defined by a dynamic cluster of tall buildings that will continue to enhance the city centre and the Birmingham skyline.
"The project focuses on creating a unique place and quality of experience for its occupants and gives a new sense of purpose to a somewhat neglected part of the city.
"The 'vertical village' concept aims to establish an integrated community of people who will live, work and spend downtime within the development.
"The creation of Chung yang Plaza as a new public space and improvements along Thorpe Street represents a significant public realm intervention within Southside where the Act One tower will land.
"It represents the first phase of a wider structured vision to create a green people focused area capturing culture and creativity of the Hippodrome." | https://www.business-live.co.uk/commercial-property/new-plans-50-storey-birmingham-23702039 | 2022-04-15T12:19:03Z | https://www.business-live.co.uk/commercial-property/new-plans-50-storey-birmingham-23702039 | true | 1 |

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s former marriage counselor told a courtroom the couple engaged in what she saw as “mutual abuse”.
Dr Laurel Anderson was called as a witness on Thursday (14 April) as part of the defamation trial opposing Depp and Heard in Fairfax, Virginia. She was asked about some of her past sessions with the pair.
Asked whether Heard had ever reported any physical violence by Depp to her, Dr Anderson said yes. Asked whether she had seen photos, she said she had but doesn’t remember when. Asked whether “there was violence from Mr Depp toward Amber”, she said: “Yes, you’re right.”
“He had been well controlled for, I don’t know – 20, 30 years, and both were victims of abuse in their homes, but I thought he had been well controlled for decades,” she added. “And then with Ms Heard he was triggered and they engaged in what I saw as mutual abuse.”
Dr Anderson added: “Sometimes – I know she led on more than one occasion and started it to keep him with her, because abandonment and having him leave was her worst nightmare. And I think he may have initiated it on occasions too. That I’m less sure of.”
Dr Anderson told the court that Heard had reported to her that “it was a point of pride to [Heard] if she felt disrespected to initiate a fight,” and that “if he was going to leave her to deescalate the fight, she would strike him to keep him there – she would rather be in a fight than have him leave.”
Depp has sued Heard, his ex-wife, in Virginia over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, in which she describes herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse”. Heard has counter-sued him, accusing him of allegedly orchestrating a “smear campaign” against her and describing his own lawsuit as a continuation of “abuse and harassment.”
The trial started on Monday (11 April) with jury selection and is expected to last a total of six weeks.

Dublin, April 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Motor Monitoring Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Offering (Hardware, Software, and Services), By End User, By Monitoring Process, By Deployment, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2021-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Motor Monitoring Market size is expected to reach $3.1 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 7.3% CAGR during the forecast period.
Motor condition monitoring is a system that uses data collected from electric motors and rotating equipment to identify flaws before their occurrence. Rotating machinery and electric motors are the devices that consume the most electricity. Motor monitoring allows for the prediction of potential motor failures and the intervention of the failure in advance. Condition monitoring helps to avoid unplanned downtime while also increasing the energy economy. Additionally, motor condition monitoring also prevents the cost that occurs in unnecessary maintenance of the motor.
Condition-based maintenance majorly focuses on preventing excess downtime, asset failures, and wasteful practices by monitoring the health of the motor to identify what maintenance needs to be performed and when. Any predictive maintenance approach is expected to be incomplete without it. Motor monitoring makes sure that maintenance is only being undertaken when particular thresholds are met or indicators exhibit symptoms of declining performance or impending failure.
Predicting impending motor breakdowns necessitates knowledge, experience, and the use of as many tools as possible. The more tools a technician has and knows how to utilize, the more equipped they is expected to be to estimate the longevity and health of the motor. Online monitoring and offline testing are two aspects of motor monitoring that must be examined and completely utilized in order to acquire an adequate diagnosis of the motor's condition.
The motor itself contains a variety of components that must be precisely tested, including insulation systems, copper winding wire, bearings, and other electrical and mechanical elements. The insulation system comprises very thin insulation produced onto the magnet wire or winding while the ground-wall insulation safeguards the magnet wire in the slots. Off-line testing equipment can accurately analyze the health of these insulation systems, and when the data is appropriately displayed, it can help in anticipating the motor's ability to remain in operation, as well as the requirement of any type of maintenance in the motor.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted worldwide economies. The closure of various plants and factories, due to lockdowns that were enforced by governments to regulate the spread of the infection, had a severe impact on supply chains across the world, negatively affecting manufacturing, delivery schedules, and product supply. Various companies already stated that there may be delays in product deliveries and a drop in future production. Additionally, worldwide travel prohibitions implemented by various countries across all the regions are affecting opportunities for commercial cooperation and partnerships.
In addition, the pandemic also harmed the motor monitoring industry in a severe manner. Governments and municipal agencies imposed stringent regulations, due to which all non-essential activities were halted. Due to a lack of focus on the development of end-user industries, this had a negative impact on motor monitoring.
Market Growth Factors:
Rising demand for predictive analytics and maintenance
Predictive maintenance is becoming more widely recognized as one of the more easily controllable digitalization applications. Predictive maintenance is a technique for forecasting when equipment will fail and repairing or changing the component before it breaks. This helps to reduce downtime and extend the life of components. Predictive maintenance can also save significant costs that can occur in lost output by preventing manufacturing line downtime. Predictive maintenance is proven to be quite important to the projects, even though it is still in its early phases, by delivering a new supply of data for both original equipment manufacturers and end-users. Motors and their equipment, such as motor controllers and bearings, require proactive maintenance to ensure their safety.
The increasing emergence of the mining industry
The mining industry deals with the extraction of valuable minerals as well as other geological elements. The extracted minerals are converted into a mineralized state that benefits the miner or prospector. Metals production, metals trading, and metals investing are all common operations in the mining business. There are numerous machineries that are utilized during the mining process such as large mining trucks, hydraulic mining shovels, large dozers, electric rope shovels, rotary drill rigs, and rock drills, motor graders, and large wheel loaders.
Market Restraining Factors
Increased payback duration on investment
A higher initial cost in data collection and analysis technologies, as well as installation, is required for continuous monitoring. System engineering and installation, field instrumentation, such as sensors, cabling, and monitoring and diagnostic system, namely hardware and software, installation, software licenses, user training, and customer support, if necessary, system maintenance for sensor replacement and software updates, as well as required external expertise and support are all considered when calculating the total cost of deploying the system. These services, software, and equipment are expensive, and they require certain skill sets to operate. As a result, operators must spend greater resources in the motor control process, training, and maintenance.

The industry ministry said on Friday it will release 6 million barrels of oil from privately held reserves as part of its contribution to a second round of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) coordinated release to calm crude oil prices.
Japan will release the petroleum, equivalent to about three days of domestic consumption, by allowing local refiners to lower their mandatory stockpile level in private reserves by three days, to 63 days of domestic demand, from April 16 and Oct. 8.
Japan said earlier this month it would release a record 15 million barrels of oil from national reserves as part of a second round of the coordinated release led by the IEA.
The remaining 9 million barrels of oil will be released from state petroleum reserves, with details such as the method to be used and timing to be decided later, an official at the ministry said.
Japan held around 470 million barrels of petroleum reserves at the end of January, or 236 days of domestic consumption, comprising state reserves, private reserves held by local refiners’ tanks and a joint crude oil storage plan with producing countries.
Earlier this month, IEA states agreed to tap 60 million barrels of oil from storage, on top of a 180 million-barrel release announced by Washington in late March aimed at cooling prices after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Finding Hope in an Experimental Treatment
Listen 49:39Jessie Flynn decided she’d had enough. For years, multiple sclerosis had taken more and more away from her life — her ability to move, her freedom, the job she loved, even her marriage. Now it seemed like medical treatments and physical therapy were no longer halting the illness’ progression — it seemed like she was on a rapid slide toward immobility. She wanted hope, and she wanted options. So she decided to try an experimental treatment called HSCT, which is not yet approved in the U.S. It came with great risks and a staggering price tag — which Jessie was willing to take on against her medical team’s advice.
Many patients find themselves in a similar place; a new treatment promises results, some experts call it a breakthrough — others caution that it’s not as good as it seems, or worse yet, a scam that takes advantage of vulnerable people.
On this episode, we examine the crossroads where desperate patients and experimental treatments meet. | https://whyy.org/episodes/finding-hope-in-an-experimental-treatment-2/ | 2022-04-15T12:32:33Z | https://whyy.org/episodes/finding-hope-in-an-experimental-treatment-2/ | true | 1 |

Two Chicago police officers were injured in a vehicle crash Thursday night in the West Lawn neighborhood.
Just after 7:30 p.m., the officers were responding to a call, with lights and sirens activated, in the 6800 block of South Hamlin Avenue when they collided with a Nissan Pathfinder, Chicago police said.
The officers were both taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in good condition, according to police and Chicago fire officials.
Officers suffered injuries to the head, arm and shoulder, police said.
The woman, 47, driving the Nissan, refused medical treatment, police said.
At the scene, the police SUV appeared to have crashed into a home on the corner of the block.
Citations are pending, according to police. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/2-chicago-police-officers-injured-in-west-lawn-crash/2807823/ | 2022-04-15T12:38:38Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/2-chicago-police-officers-injured-in-west-lawn-crash/2807823/ | false | null |
The owners of the Chicago Cubs dropped their interest in buying Chelsea, leaving three remaining bids for the enforced sale of the Premier League club by sanctioned Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
The bid was being led by Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts but faced opposition from Chelsea fans over Islamophobic comments by his father, Joe, that featured in leaked emails three years ago.
The consortium, which also featured American investors Ken Griffin and Dan Gilbert, did not directly address the “issues” that prevented them pursuing the bid ahead of Thursday's deadline for final submissions.
“The Ricketts-Griffin-Gilbert Group has decided, after careful consideration, not to submit a final bid for Chelsea FC,” the group said in a statement. “In the process of finalizing their proposal, it became increasingly clear that certain issues could not be addressed given the unusual dynamics around the sales process. We have great admiration for Chelsea and its fans, and we wish the new owners well."
The remaining three known bids also involve North American sports team investors.
Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca has partnered with Larry Tanenbaum, who has ownership stakes in Toronto with the NBA’s Raptors, the NHL’s Maple Leafs and the city’s MLS team. Peter Guber, a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is also backing in the group.
Another part-owner of the Dodgers, Todd Boehly, is leading another consortium.
The third remaining known group is fronted by former Liverpool and British Airways chairman Martin Broughton with planned investment by Josh Harris and David Blitzer, who own the Philadelphia 76ers and have stakes in Premier League club Crystal Palace.
A New York-based merchant bank, the Raine Group, has been overseeing the sale process that was announced last month by Abramovich following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The oligarch has been sanctioned by Britain and the European Union over his links to Russian President Vladimir Putin with assets frozen, including Chelsea.
Abramovich has been disqualified from running the reigning European champions by the Premier League and he cannot profit from the proceeds of the sale, which the British government must sign off under terms of a license that allows the team to continue operating.
Chelsea’s Champions League title defense was ended by Real Madrid on Tuesday but Thomas Tuchel’s team is on course to qualify for the lucrative UEFA competition next season as it is third in the Premier League. Chelsea remains in contention for the FA Cup with a semifinal match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Toronto Fire says a four-alarm fire that broke out at a commercial-residential mixed building early Friday has been knocked down.
Fire officials said they were called to College Street just east of Grace Street in Little Italy at around 12:55 a.m.
They said 30 trucks attended the scene with about 100 to 120 firefighters.
The fire department said firefighters were met with heavy smoke and flames going through the roof.
No injuries were reported. No one was found after a sweep of the adjacent units, fire officials said.
The fire was knocked down about an hour after crews were called, at around 3 a.m.
An investigation has been launched into the origin, cause and circumstances of the fire, Toronto Fire Chief Matthew Pegg said. | https://globalnews.ca/news/8762838/fire-college-grace-toronto/ | 2022-04-15T12:42:42Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/8762838/fire-college-grace-toronto/ | false | null |

Here are 3 ways you’re killing your trees by building 'mulch volcanoes' and how to fix it
Please, please . . .
stop killing your trees.
Those big mounds of mulch, all over the yard,
will stifle the roots and make life oh so hard.
I know you don’t mean it. You love trees instead.
but those big mulch volcanoes will kill your trees dead.
Really ...? We’re having this conversation again?
I thought we had covered this in sufficient detail last year, and the year before, and the year before that. Well, for those looking for the executive summary, here it is:
Mulch volcanoes kill trees. Period!
Ok. Now for those of you interested in the deeper story, here it is.
Why are mulch volcanoes bad for trees?
Mulching your garden, indeed, mulching your young trees can be a good and noble thing. It can help to suppress weed growth, retain soil moisture for your young tree’s roots, and can also help to keep wayward mower decks from damaging tree bark. But too much of a good thing is, well, too much of a good thing.
Building monstrous mounds of mulch — known as mulch volcanoes — around the base of a young tree creates several immediate problems. First, it creates a similar situation that the tree would encounter if it was planted too deeply. The roots end up a greater distance from open-air and don’t have access to the oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange they need for healthy growth.
Second, the big mulch volcanoes provide a nice, moist, and protected place for disease organisms to live up close to the bark and can result in all kinds of cankers, rots, and crown rots.

Finally, those big, fluffy mulch volcanoes make a perfect home for bark chewing rodents. Added to those problems, mulch volcanoes can cause trees to produce roots in the mulch layer that is more prone to drying out during hot, dry stretches.
Of course, we haven’t even gotten into the fact that a yard full of mulch volcanoes looks a bit like a squadron of ET’s brethren all landed in the middle of your front yard.
Why are mulch volcanoes popular?
Nobody that I’ve found out there has any idea where this practice originated. Yes, mulching can be good for your trees. But building 1 to 2-foot tall mounds of mulch around the trunks of young trees is taking a good idea way, way too far. Aside from being bad for your trees, it costs you money — either just materials (if you’re doing the volcano building yourself) or materials and labor (if you hire it out.)
Hmmm ... it costs more money and is bad for your trees. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

What can you do with leftover mulch?
Let’s talk about a solution using a fictitious case. Let’s say you have 10 trees in your yard and each one is surrounded by a 4-foot diameter mulch volcano 12-inches high. If best practice recommends 2-inches of mulch as a maximum, you already have enough mulch in your yard to last until 2028!
Ok, some of that mulch will decompose over time. So let’s say you’re good for the next four years. Just think, though. That's four years without having to buy mulch. Four years of not having to arrange for delivery. Four years of better and happier tree roots. I think you get my point.
While all the above seems pretty straightforward, it leaves two questions. What do you do with existing mulch volcanoes and how do you help to abolish the practice.
What do you do with existing mulch volcanoes?
While it’s best to not start building volcanoes in the first place, sometimes you inherit them and have to decide what to do. If they are newly formed around your trees, it’s best to remove most of the mulch now. Simply rake it off onto a tarp and drag it away somewhere you can stockpile it until you need it elsewhere. You should leave no more than a 2-inch layer on top of the existing soil.

But if the mulch volcanoes have been there for a number of years, you may find that you have roots growing out of the trunk and into the mulch. In these cases, you need to have a little bit of a lighter touch. Gently rake back the mulch to the required level and then carefully prune the exposed roots back to the trunk surface. You’ll have to pay a little extra attention to keeping your young tree watered through the dry season this summer but in most cases, the tree should recover nicely.
How to abolish the practice of volcano mulching
This is a tough one. Again, nobody seems to know how volcano mulching got to be such a common practice. But it has been widely shown in excellent research and reported throughout the landscape industry for decades that this practice is harmful to trees. Those in the industry should know better — if they’re paying attention at all. If they haven’t gotten the message yet, you might want to look elsewhere for professional services.
Sometimes, questionable practices like volcano mulching are perpetuated because homeowner’s associations or similar administrative units simply re-up long-standing contracts without any evaluation of the service. But a simple change to the new contract — specifically identifying practices to be eliminated — makes for an easy solution.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Many of them NBA big-game beginners, the young Cavaliers took their lumps in Brooklyn the other night and missed their first chance of making the playoffs.
Fortunately, they’ve got another shot.
Trouble is, Trae Young does, too.
Atlanta’s high-scoring All-Star guard will be THE defensive focal point for Cleveland on Friday night as the Cavs host the Hawks in a win-or-start-vacation game. The winner advances to play No. 1 seed Miami in the Eastern Conference’s first round.
Young averaged 32.5 points in four games — his high was 41 — against the Cavs this season, and Cleveland coach J.B. Bickerstaff didn’t waste a breath in bringing him up when asked about the challenges the Hawks present offensively.
“Obviously, it starts with Trae Young,” he said. “What he does impacts everybody else and his ability to one, make all the shots from all over the floor, two, to make all the plays with the ball in his hand, the passes and then that pick-and-roll game that they run.”
Young started slowly but scored 24 points in Atlanta’s 132-103 rout of Charlotte on Wednesday night, a game the Cavs watched live and scouted together.
“They played well and they moved the ball well as a team,” Cavs guard Rajon Rondo said. “Trae accepted the double teams that Charlotte threw at him at the start of the game. He got off the ball extremely well, he shared the ball with his teammates and they made plays for each other.”
The Cavs didn’t handle Brooklyn’s two-headed, Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving monster early in Tuesday night’s 115-108 loss, the first taste of playoff-like intensity and physicality for most of Cleveland’s players.
The Nets led by 20 points after the first quarter, and although the Cavs fought back and were within six late, the initial onslaught was too much to overcome.
There is no teacher like experience, and Bickerstaff believes his team will grow from the play-in opener.
“We’ve been tested and I feel like our guys have done a really good job of responding,” he said. And when they’ve been in a certain situation, they don’t make the same mistake twice. They come out and they learn from it and they improve on in the next time out.”
Atlanta won three of the four matchups this season with Cleveland, blowing the Cavs out 131-107 in the most recent matchup on March 31. But the Cavs were short-handed in every game and could get back All-Star center Jarrett Allen, who has been sidelined since March 6 with a broken finger.
The team officially listed Allen as questionable on the injury report, a positive step after he missed the past 19 games.
Allen in the middle of Cleveland’s defense would be another obstacle for Young, who is not only dangerous as a shooter but in finding Clint Capela and Atlanta’s other big mans on lobs at the rim.
PLAYOFF RONDO
With 134 games of postseason experience, Rondo gives the Cavs someone who has seen it all this time of year.
He’s been a sounding board for teammates and coaches. Bickerstaff called him a basketball “savant” before Rondo got nine assists in 26 productive minutes against the Nets.
A two-time champion, the 36-year-old Rondo struggled to describe his postseason metamorphosis.
“I can’t really put it into words,” he said. “I get a little more time to rest my body. I usually play a lot more minutes. The coaches usually allow me to do what I do best — manipulate the game and try to do what’s best for the team and stay on the same page with my teammates, along with getting W’s.”
HURTING HAWKS
Atlanta forward John Collins, who hasn’t played since March 11 with a sprained finger and foot, won’t play along with guard Lou Williams (back).
Also, guard Bogdan Bogdanovic is questionable with a left ankle sprain.
DRE STEPS UP
Hawks forward De’Andre Hunter scored 22 points in the play-in victory over the Hornets, with 16 coming during a third-quarter barrage that turned the game into a blowout.
The No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 draft, Hunter has battled health issues and struggled to develop into a consistent performer over his three-year NBA career. The Hawks hope his performance was a sign that he’s ready to step up in the postseason.
“He was playing aggressive,” Young said. “That’s what we need from Dre. He was making plays, getting to the basket, and the way he was guarding got Miles (Bridges) frustrated. It was a great all-around game for Dre.”
THE BIG MAN
Cleveland’s advantage in the post — especially if Allen goes — puts a big responsibility on Capela.
Outside of him, the Hawks don’t really have anyone who can match up with Cleveland’s front line, which can include three 7-footers at once.
“They pose a challenge because of their size,” McMillan said. “They do a good job of taking advantage of their size with their ability to pound you in the paint. They’ve got a of lot of length.”
Capela had a big game against Charlotte with 15 points and 17 rebounds, but the Hornets went went with a small lineup most of the game. That won’t be the case against the Cavaliers, but the Hawks are confident in their man in the middle.
“He was everywhere,” Danilo Gallinari said. “We know he can do that every single night. He’s got our back and can dominate the paint.”

Following a missile attack launched by Ukraine, Russia’s Soviet-era missile cruiser Moskva sank following a fire onboard on Thursday. According to media reports, the Russian defence ministry has announced, the cause was damage caused by an explosion of ammunition on board. And the damaged flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet while being towed to port sank due to stormy seas.
More about the flagship
A symbol of Russia’s military power was leading naval assault against Ukraine and it was a 510-crew missile cruiser.
Kiev claims that a missile fired by it hit the ship which was a symbol of Russia’s military power, leading its naval assault on Ukraine.
According to reports, quoting Russia statement, the entire crew was evacuated following the explosion of the warship’s ammunition. The defence ministry of Russia later announced the ship which was afloat had sunk later on.
Since WW-II the Moskva 12,490-tonne vessel is the biggest Russian warship to be sunk in action.
This ship has been named after the capital of Russia and has a displacement of 12,490 tons. It was originally commissioned as the Slava in 1983 and it was recommissioned in 2000 as the Moskva. It had refurbished weapon systems and electronics onboard. This vessel was actually laid down in Ukraine’s southern city of Mykolaiv – a city which was heavily bombed by the Russians in recent weeks.
The military officials of Ukraine have claimed that the Moskva was hit with Ukrainian-made Neptune missiles. This weapon, according to reports, was designed after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 – and to also protect itself against naval threats in the Black Sea.
When deployed, Moskva’s main role was to provide air defence support to other ships in Russia’s Black Sea fleet.
All you want to know about Neptune
On Wednesday, the Ukrainian officials claimed to have succeeded in hitting the Russian ship off the coast of Odessa via a missile strike on the ship.
There were two different versions from both sides – while Russia claimed that fire caused by ammunition onboard caused the blasts; and the Ukrainians claimed to have hit it using two Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles.
The design of this missile is based on a Russian Kh-35 cruise missile. In NATO this missile is named AS-20 Kayak.
Russia had previously deployed this guided missile cruiser in the Syria conflict, as it was used to provide the Russian forces in the country with naval protection.
After being in the process of being developed for six years, in March 2021, the Neptune Missile system was inducted into the Ukrainian Defence Forces to fight against the threat in the coastal areas. It has the capability of destroying naval vessels in a range of 300 km.
According to reports, to take on any attack through the sea route, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry announced its plans to integrate Neptune with patrol boats, corvettes, and missile boats, as an integrated defence system.
How did Ukraine attack?
TB-2 drones were used as decoys along with other measures towards saturation of the cruiser’s Air Defence systems to carry out the Neptune attack.
Previously too Ukrainians had claimed to have hit Russian vessels, but there was nothing to indicate that damage had been done to the Russian Navy in the Black Sea.
Has Russia lost another vessel in the ongoing war?
Yes. Last month the Saratov landing ship was destroyed by a Ukrainian attack in the harbour of Berdyansk, a Sea of Azov Ukrainian port seized by Russia. | https://www.financialexpress.com/defence/russian-warship-moskva-sinks-in-black-sea/2492625/ | 2022-04-15T13:08:01Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/defence/russian-warship-moskva-sinks-in-black-sea/2492625/ | true | 1 |

Cleary put on report as Panthers march to sixth straight win
BlueBet Stadium: Nathan Cleary celebrated his contract extension by setting up arguably Penrith’s best try of the night during their 40-12 romp over Brisbane – but the pin-up was later placed on report for an awkward tackle on Billy Walters.
Cleary, whose future is secure at the foot of the mountains until 2027, was placed on report for a 65th-minute tackle on Billy Walters.
Cleary appeared to get his legs tangled around Walters before slamming him backwards into the ground.
It did not appear a hip-drop tackle, but the concerned look on Cleary’s face was enough to suggest he might have a case to answer.
“You cannot put your legs around [a defender] like that,” Andrew Johns said on the Nine coverage.
Billy Slater said there was no malice in the tackle and Johns quickly responded: “He’s not that sort of player Bill – we love him.”
A grade-one dangerous contact charge carries a $1000 fine, while even if the match review committee viewed it more seriously, the loss of Cleary would be unlikely to stop their devastating early-season form.
Penrith have now won their opening six games and should have little problems disposing of Canberra and the Gold Coast the next fortnight.
The most frightening thing is they were in an arm wrestle with the Broncos all the way until half-time, then put the afterburners on when they felt like it.
Cleary’s cross-field kick for Taylan May to collect on the half-volley was the pick of a decent bunch of four-pointers.
The May try helped Penrith stretch their lead to 22-6 as 19,406 fans quickly realised their beloved side were going to remain unbeaten. That is now 20 straight wins at BlueBet Stadium.
May has made the most of his call-up for the injured Brian To’o, and while he will never keep the Origin winger out of his spot once he overcomes a knee injury in the coming weeks, the 20-year-old has made an irresistible case to at the very least be retained on the bench.
Spencer Leniu scored a try from close range after Kobe Hetherington pulled Jarome Luai’s hair, and was given a shove for his troubles as Leniu ran past him the next play.
Brisbane only trailed 12-6 at half-time with Adam Reynolds’ kicking game outstanding and Kotoni Staggs continuing his red-hot form from seven nights earlier against the Sydney Roosters.
“I thought we were in the fight for most of the match, there was just a ten-minute block there where they put on a couple of tries on us,” Broncos coach Kevin Walters said.
“That’s where they’re at and where we’re trying to get to. We’ll get there.
“They’ve got several gears they go through at the moment. They play really fast. That caught us on the hop and we couldn’t go with them. It’s only round five. Our target will be to go with them at the back end of the season. If we do that, which I believe we can, we’ll be a different footy side.”
Luai scored for the Panthers before Scott Sorensen showed good footwork and a bit of toe to run 20m to give the Panthers the lead just before the break.
Dylan Edwards, who casually chalked up another 185 running metres, was sin-binned for slapping Broncos prop Keenan Palasai.
Referee Adam Gee asked the bunker official several times if the Edwards and Palasai slaps were being “classified as striking” before both men were given their timeout.
While some on the TV commentary box were stunned by the harsh penalties for a slap, the NRL made a point of binning players for the slap five years ago after it gained popularity following the banning of the biff. | https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/nrl/cleary-placed-on-report-as-panthers-march-to-sixth-straight-win-20220415-p5adrt.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | 2022-04-15T13:08:51Z | https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/nrl/cleary-placed-on-report-as-panthers-march-to-sixth-straight-win-20220415-p5adrt.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | false | 10 |

Northwestern for Ukraine uses art to raise funds and awareness
April 14, 2022
For Northwestern for Ukraine’s first fundraiser, students sold handmade pins made of yellow and blue pompoms as well as Ukrainian pastries and candies. Weeks later, their creations have become visible symbols of support across campus.
Sonya Voloboi, a McCormick sophomore who immigrated to the U.S. from Ukraine in 2010, is a founding member of Northwestern for Ukraine. She said she appreciates seeing other students express solidarity for the organization’s mission.
“Anytime that I walk down Sheridan and I see a student with one of our pins or somebody with one of our stickers on their laptop or water bottle, it makes me feel like the community is rallying behind us,” Voloboi said.
Students in Northwestern for Ukraine have created and sold handmade goods at each of their fundraisers. The group has also collaborated with Knitwestern to create ribbons and bracelets, partnered with fair trade store Ten Thousand Villages Evanston and screened a Ukrainian film about a Crimean Tatar family.
The organization uses art to engage with the NU and Evanston communities and provides opportunities to learn about Ukrainian history and culture.
Recently, Northwestern for Ukraine partnered with Ten Thousand Villages Evanston for a profit-sharing event. Fifteen percent of the store’s profits for two hours on April 9 were donated to Nova Ukraine, and students also set up a table to sell their own items.
“We had a lot of outpouring in our hearts for what’s going on with Ukraine,” said Michaela Dix, co-manager of Ten Thousand Villages Evanston. “It goes hand in hand with our missions in general with fair trade and trying to make sure we’re bettering people around the world.”
Inna Sokolenko, a Weinberg first-year from Kyiv, Ukraine and founding member of Northwestern from Ukraine, said she was grateful for the collaborative event and for the community outreach it provided.
“People don’t buy them because of what they look like, but because they want to demonstrate that they support Ukraine, which I really appreciate,’” Sokolenko said.
In addition to raising funds, Northwestern for Ukraine also focuses on raising awareness of Ukrainian culture. By screening the Ukrainian film “Homeward” (“Evge” in the original Crimean Tatar), students had the opportunity to learn more about Ukraine’s history.
“People came to actually see the film and learn more about this part of Ukrainian history,” Sokolenko said. “It shows that people want to learn more about Ukraine — that they are interested and that they care.”
Raising awareness is a key goal for Northwestern for Ukraine — and utilizing art has helped raise cultural awareness and provide a means of solidarity.
“The situation in Ukraine affects me very much, but it doesn’t affect the Northwestern community as much. Sometimes I feel kind of isolated,” Sokolenko said. “Seeing the small signs of solidarity with Ukraine, that people remember, and people care, is a big deal for us.”

Palestinian factions condemn Israel for escalating tension in West Bank
Ramallah: Palestinian factions, including the Fatah Party led by President Mahmoud Abbas, and Hamas, on Thursday, condemned Israel for killing Palestinians and escalating tensions in the West Bank.
Over the past three weeks, tensions have flared up between the two sides, particularly since the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramzan at the beginning of April, Xinhua news agency reported.
According to Palestine’s Ministry of Health, two Palestinians were killed on Thursday in clashes with Israeli forces in the northern West Bank city of Jenin. Another civilian succumbed to wounds after being shot in Nablus.
Israeli authorities said that the soldiers “responded with live ammunition” after dozens of Palestinians violently attacked and shot at them, endangering their safety.
In a statement, the Central Committee of the Fatah Party denounced “the Israeli government’s disregard for the lives of Palestinians by unleashing the Israeli army and settler groups to carry out field assassinations and military incursions.”
Israel “is waging war against the Palestinian people and drags the entire region to catastrophic results”, the committee said.
Palestine Liberation Organisation Executive Committee member Hussein al-Sheikh tweeted on Thursday that “Palestinian blood is being shed daily by the occupation forces”.
On the same day, Abbas held a telephone conversation with Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, saying “what is happening in the Palestinian territories due to the aggressive Israeli practices is serious and dangerous,” the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Furthermore, three Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers in three separate incidents near Nablus, Bethlehem and Ramallah in the West Bank, the health ministry reported on Wednesday.
By the ministry’s count, 41 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank since January.
In Gaza, Hamas said it mourns the six Palestinians who lost their lives on Wednesday and Thursday.
“Hamas affirms that escalating Israeli measures against the defenceless Palestinian civilians will not stop the heroic resistance operations throughout occupied Palestine,” it said. | https://www.mangalorean.com/palestinian-factions-condemn-israel-for-escalating-tension-in-west-bank/ | 2022-04-15T13:18:46Z | https://www.mangalorean.com/palestinian-factions-condemn-israel-for-escalating-tension-in-west-bank/ | true | 2 |
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — After years of protest, moratoriums and delays, King County has granted approval for a proposed asphalt plant to be built in Renton on the banks of the Cedar River.
The county’s Department of Local Services ruled Thursday that the project, which has been fiercely opposed by neighbors and environmental groups, “does not pose a probable significant adverse impact to the environment,” as long as the company takes mitigation measures.
The decision comes six years after Lakeside Industries bought the 25-acre parcel on Highway 169 and nearly four years after Lakeside, which has a dozen asphalt plants in Western Washington, first applied to build the plant, the Seattle Times reported.
The county also said an environmental impact statement — which had been requested by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and others — was not necessary.
The site sits about 50 yards from the Cedar River, separated by a five-lane highway and bike path. A traffic study found the plant will require 460 truck trips each weekday.
The site was rezoned in 2008, in a little-noticed amendment to a massive piece of mandatory legislation. It was shifted from rural, with only one home allowed every 5 acres, to industrial.
Lakeside bought the site in 2016 for $9.5 million, five times its assessed value. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/King-County-approves-proposed-asphalt-plant-near-17082933.php | 2022-04-15T13:19:26Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/King-County-approves-proposed-asphalt-plant-near-17082933.php | false | 11 |
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The Maine Legislature's appropriations committee unanimously approved a supplemental budget early Friday that includes $850 payouts to more than 850,000 residents amid inflationary worries.
The budget tracks closely with the governor's proposal and would return more than half of a state budget surplus topping $1 billion to qualifying residents in the form of one-time checks.
The budget also creates a fund to address PFAS contamination, invests in education and delivers property tax relief.
The Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee worked late into the evening before delivering their unanimous vote early Friday.
The committees co-chairs praised the the panel's Republicans and Democrats for working to establish consensus.
“This is what Maine people expect from their government — collaboration and common sense,” said Sen. Cathy Breen, D-Falmouth.
The governor originally proposed $500 checks, then $750 checks, then $850 checks, as the surplus grew. The current projections called for a budget surplus topping $1 billion through June 2023.
The full Legislature will take up the budget in coming days. Lawmakers are scheduled to adjourn on Wednesday. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Panel-signs-off-on-budget-that-includes-850-17082988.php | 2022-04-15T13:19:50Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Panel-signs-off-on-budget-that-includes-850-17082988.php | true | 10 |
What an odd, strange little baseball game.
At one point on the TV broadcast Jim Deshaies asked if there were a full moon Thursday evening (nope — it happens very late tonight) because so many goofy things occurred:
- The Cubs scored a run in the first inning on an error, but then...
- Jonathan Villar didn’t go all out from third base on a fly ball to right and Seiya Suzuki was caught way off first base and doubled off to end the third inning just, and I mean just, before Villar touched the plate. Here’s the play [VIDEO].
It’s really hard to tell on that clip, but one of the angles appear to show Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron touching the base just before Villar’s foot touches the plate.
But wait, there’s more weirdness!
- Patrick Wisdom clearly fouled a ball off his foot, but plate umpire Marty Foster called it a fair ball and Wisdom was thrown out to end the fourth inning;
- Suzuki and Nick Madrigal got their signals crossed and a catchable ball dropped untouched between them (fortunately, no damage).
- The Cubs recorded a force play at third base on what should have been a clean single to left by Kris Bryant.
And all of that happened in the first five innings!
Fortunately, things settled down after that and the Cubs won the first game of the series against the Rockies 5-2.
The Cubs didn’t waste any time getting on the board in the first inning. After Clint Frazier began the game with a ground out, three straight singles made it 1-0 Cubs, the third of those hits by Frank Schwindel [VIDEO].
Suzuki extended his hitting streak to six games with that single.
And here’s the aforementioned error which made it 3-0 Cubs [VIDEO].
Steele ran into a bit of trouble in the fifth and was removed for Ethan Roberts, who got the aforementioned (there’s a lot of aforementioning going on in this one!) force play at third but then allowed an RBI single to Cron that made it 3-1. But in general, Steele threw well for the second straight start, a really good sign:
50 of Justin Steele's 52 pitches through three innings have been four-seamers or sliders. It's working so far. His three zeros pushes his career-high scoreless streak to 15 frames, dating back to last season.
— Jordan Bastian (@MLBastian) April 15, 2022
Steele’s scoreless streak ended on Cron’s single, but that wasn’t his fault. Roberts then walked a pair, forcing in a second run. Keegan Thompson relieved Roberts and ended the inning on three pitches. Then Thompson wound up throwing three more strong innings, an excellent outing. The 44 pitches he threw definitely takes Thompson out of the mix for starting Saturday’s game. (I suppose, if the Cubs wanted to, they could drop Thompson’s suspension appeal now and let him sit out the next three games as he’s probably not going to pitch during that time anyway. JD mentioned this as a possibility during the broadcast.)
The Cubs promptly got those two runs back, first courtesy of Schwindel leading off the sixth [VIDEO].
It was Frank the Tank’s first homer of the season. More on Frank:
Frank Schwindel goes oppo for a solo shot. His first extra-base hit of the season. Talked to him before the game and he said he's got some slight mechanical issues, but he's really just trying to find his timing after missing a chunk of the spring with back tightness.
— Sahadev Sharma (@sahadevsharma) April 15, 2022
After a double by Yan Gomes and walk drawn by Michael Hermosillo, Ian Happ restored the three-run lead at 5-2 [VIDEO].
Mychal Givens was given the save opportunity and allowed a one-out single to Kris Bryant, but struck out Brendan Rodgers to end it for his first Cubs save. Here’s the final out [VIDEO].
KB went 2-for-5 overall, but wasn’t really a factor in this game. He did get quite a bit of attention from both Chicago and Denver media before the game:
There was quite a gathering at Kris Bryant's locker in the Rockies clubhouse pregame, prompting him at one point to say, with a smile: “I enjoyed my time in Chicago, but I don’t know if it warrants a press conference every time I play them.”
— Meghan Montemurro (@M_Montemurro) April 15, 2022
And this quip came out of that press conference:
Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant on the section of the new CBA inspired by his service-time manipulation case against the Cubs:
— Gordon Wittenmyer (@GDubCub) April 15, 2022
“I’m just a little disappointed they didn’t name a rule after me. I mean, Ohtani got his rule. I didn’t get a rule.”
More on KB from his former teammate and manager David Ross:

‘Pink Moon’ heralds spring, Passover
Published: Apr. 15, 2022 at 7:15 AM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
(CNN) - The full moon will not be called blue this weekend. Instead, it will be called pink!
NASA said the “Pink Moon” will illuminate the sky from early Friday to Monday morning. The moon should be at its peak fullness Saturday afternoon.
This version of a full moon goes by several traditional names.
The “Pink Moon” honors its spring arrival, so it will not actually be the color pink.
It’s also known as the “Fish Moon” because, as coastal tribes note, it appears at the same time the shad fish swim upstream to spawn.
And it’s called a “Passover Moon” because its appearance coincides with the Jewish holiday.
Passover begins at sundown Friday and ends the following week at nightfall on April 23.

The lawyer complained that ADGP Sreejith was fabricating false evidence in the cases at the behest of DGP Sandhya. The DGP and the ADGP were using Crime Branch SPs S Sudarshan, M J Sojan and DySP Baiju M Paulose to fabricate evidence against Dileep, as per the complaint.
The complaint also alleged that cyber expert Sai Shankar was threatened to give a statement against the lawyers.
Lawyer Philip T Varghese also complained that ADGP Sreejith had used director Balachandrakumar to sabotage the trial of the case.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Nepal is running low on foreign currency reserves needed to import medicines, oil products, cars and a range of other items, and will run out in seven months if things don't improve, a central bank official said Friday.
The central bank has increased interest rates, hoping it will discourage people from buying imports and help extend the foreign reserves, said Gunakar Bhatta, spokesperson of Nepal Rastriya Bank, the central bank.
“We are concerned about the sustainability of our foreign exchange reserves,” Bhatta said.
But he said there already are signs that the situation is getting better with the slowing of the pandemic. More tourists have begun to arrive and increasing numbers of Nepalese are going abroad to earn foreign currency and send it back home, he said.
“Compared to previous years, the foreign exchange reserve level has come down, but we can manage it because the number of migrant workers that are going abroad has increased," Bhatta said.
Nepal's main sources of foreign currency are tourism, remittances from overseas workers and foreign aid.
Normally, hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists visit Nepal every year. However, the number declined sharply due to restrictions imposed during the coronavirus pandemic.
Tourists are trickling back, with hundreds of climbers already applying to climb the world's highest peaks and thousands more trekking on mountain trails.
Nepal has few exports and imports almost everything from abroad. Motor vehicles and oil products account for one fourth of the imports, Bhatta said.
The finance ministry said earlier this week that the government is working to reduce imports of gold and luxury goods, but did not provide details. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Nepal-running-low-on-foreign-exchange-17082975.php | 2022-04-15T13:30:01Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Nepal-running-low-on-foreign-exchange-17082975.php | false | 13 |

Alabama’s unemployment rate reaches record low
The 2.9% rate ties a number only reached previously in September 2019
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WAFF) - Governor Kay Ivey announced Friday that Alabama’s unemployment rate has reached a new record low.
According to the Governor’s statement, the state’s preliminary, seasonally adjusted rate for March fell to 2.9%. February’s rate came in at 3.0%. The rate has fallen almost a full percentage point from the March 2021 rate of 3.7%.
This record low rate has only been registered once back in September 2019
“Alabama has been on a roll as our folks have been eager to get to work, and the fact that we have once again hit our record low unemployment rate is proof positive of that,” said Governor Ivey. “We are not relenting our efforts, and I am confident Alabama will continue powering in the right direction because of our hardworking men and women. Truly, the best is yet to come.”
The March rate represents 65,485 unemployed persons, the lowest ever on record. In March 2021, 82,443 people were considered unemployed in the rate calculation.
“At no point in Alabama’s history have we recorded fewer people as unemployed,” said Alabama Department of Labor Secretary Fitzgerald Washington. “Alabamians are working, businesses are hiring, and we are getting back to normal with every passing month.”
Counties with the lowest unemployment rates:
- Shelby County - 1.7%,
- Cullman County - 1.8%
- Morgan County - 1.9%
- Marshall County - 1.9%

Maine lawmakers have a chance to end these tribes’ fight for sovereignty
By Nicole Chavez, CNN
Native American people in Maine have been excluded from protections guaranteed by federal law for more than 40 years but lawmakers could help change it.
As the state Legislature’s second session reaches its final days, a proposed legislation to restore sovereignty to Maine’s tribes is being considered. Earlier this week, dozens of Indigenous advocates, social justice groups and environmentalists marched outside the state capitol building.
The bill, L.D. 1626, aims to give the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, the Houlton Band of Maliseets and the Mi’kaq Nation (formerly known as the Aroostook Band of Micmacs) power to regulate hunting, fishing, natural resources, land use on tribal lands, economic development, among other rights.
The state House voted 81-55 to pass the bill on Thursday and now it heads to the Senate. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn its session on Wednesday.
Leaders of the Wabanaki nations said they haven’t had equal access to many federal programs and have been excluded from new policy involving federally recognized tribes as a result of a decades-old settlement.
In the 1970s a years-long legal battle ensued when the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy argued their ancestral lands had been unlawfully relinquished to Massachusetts and then Maine without the approval of the federal government as required by the Nonintercourse Act of 1790. Their claim was considered to cover about two thirds of Maine’s land.
The dispute was eventually settled in 1980 with the signage of the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act, which led the federal government to pay $81.5 million to the tribes but made them subject to Maine laws and placed them under the jurisdiction of state courts.
“What was meant to settle a land claim turned into all kinds of jurisdictional provisions,” Chief Kirk Francis of the Penobscot Nation told CNN.
Since the settlement was reached, Francis says, Congress has passed more than a 100 laws “for the benefit of Native Americans that tribes in Maine have not been able to access in a way that other tribes do across the country.”
Those federal laws include the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013, which amended the Stafford Act to provide federally recognized tribal governments the option to request a major disaster declaration; and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, which includes a provision allowing tribes to employ medical professionals licensed in another state.
Francis said the settlement has impacted the daily lives of the Penobscot people in other ways. For example, the tribe currently doesn’t have decision power over dam relicensing and wastewater discharge from municipalities and businesses that affect tribal waters, he said.
“It’s been very difficult culturally for the tribe over the years to not have a voice,” said Francis, adding the Penobscot are riverine people, which means the river and its resources are central to their culture.
State Rep. Rachel Talbot Ross, the bill’s sponsor, has said it’s “absolutely past time” to restore tribal sovereignty in Maine and “modernize” the relationship between the state and the Wabanaki nations.
“Every time a study is conducted on how the tribes fare under the Settlement Act, it’s critical conclusion is that the tribes suffer and have been unable to progress at the same rate as most of other tribal nations within this country,” Talbot Ross said in a judiciary committee hearing on the bill in February.
While tribal leaders are hopeful state lawmakers may approve the proposed bill during the current session, they have recently faced both support and opposition for legislative changes.
Last year, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, vetoed a bill to allow tribal gaming. In her veto message, the governor said the tribes have been “unfairly excluded” from operating their own gaming facility, but the bills were not the answer to a complex issue.
Jerry Reid, the chief legal counsel to Gov. Mills, testified against L.D. 1626 in a February hearing saying the governor’s office was not ready to support the bill as drafted.
He said the governor is not “necessarily opposed to amending” the settlement act but “when amendments are being considered, it’s critical that we avoid ambiguous language that could lead to future conflict or litigation.”
Spokespeople for Mills did not respond to requests of comment about L.D. 1626, the proposed tribal sovereignty bill.
During a House vote on Thursday, state Rep. Lauren Libby criticized the bill saying it could result in conflicting regulations at the state, federal and tribal levels that could lead to years of costly litigation.
Numerous Maine communities may likely be impacted by those disputes because unlike other states, Libby said, tribal land is spread throughout the state and not continuous.
For Francis, the opposition to the bill is out of “fear of the unknown and quite frankly, the lack of wanting to give up any control.”
“This is not the tribes trying to gain any special rights here. We’re just in to restore the rights we had,” he said.
In Congress, US Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat, recently introduced a bill that would amend the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980 and allow future federal laws to impact the Wabanaki nations. The bill has been referred to the House natural resources subcommittee.
“This bill will cut through unnecessary red tape and bureaucratic efforts to block the Wabanaki tribes from benefiting from future federal laws passed for their benefit, and create opportunities for improved standards of living and economic growth,” Golden said in a hearing over the bill last month.

If I was looking to allocate $1,000 in stocks today, I would concentrate on industry leaders and beloved brands that still have bright futures. I believe Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are still two very attractive investments to hold until retirement.
These stocks have made investors massive returns over the last 10 years, and it's no secret why. They provide products and services used by billions of people, and their techy nature and massive revenue streams enable them to manufacture growth by continuing to delight their customers with innovation. After reviewing what these companies are up to (see below), consider investing $1,000 in the one stock you like best, or splitting the total and putting $500 into each if you can't decide.
Amazon
Amazon's stock price is down 8.5% over the last year, which trails the 7.4% positive return of the broader market as measured by the S&P 500 index. But it's only a matter of time before Amazon takes off again. While revenue is not growing as fast as it was in 2020, revenue was still up 57% in the fourth quarter of 2021 over the same quarter in 2019.
Amazon doesn't innovate in the same way a product manufacturer like Apple does. Instead, Amazon's innovation is through faster delivery speeds, which is crucial to staying ahead of competitors. This is why Amazon was able to accelerate revenue during the pandemic. It doubled its fulfillment capacity over the last two years, which is not easy for a company that generated $470 billion in revenue last year.
Market participants are focused on near-term headwinds, such as a tight labor market, higher labor costs, and inflationary pressures on Amazon's bottom line. In the fourth quarter, higher costs to deal with these issues cut Amazon's operating profit in half compared to the year-ago quarter. But CEO Andy Jessy is not only optimistic about where the business is headed. He suggested in Amazon's 2021 annual report that there are still new areas of growth that Amazon hasn't even penetrated yet:
Amazon is a big company with some large businesses, but it's still early days for us. We will continue to be insurgent -- inventing in businesses that we're in, in new businesses that we've yet to launch, and in new ideas that we haven't even imagined yet. It remains Day 1.
Amazon has been a great growth stock to own over the last few decades. A $1,000 investment in Amazon in 2012 would be worth over $16,000 today. It may not return the same amount over the next decade, but Amazon's investments in expanding fulfillment capacity spell more revenue growth ahead. You can't go wrong holding this top growth stock for the long haul.
Apple
Apple is launching its budget-friendly iPhone SE at the right time. Last quarter, Apple reported record product revenue of $104 billion following last fall's launch of the new iPhone 13. This performance was impressive given the supply chain constraints that have made sourcing components difficult in the semiconductor industry over the last year.
Growth in Apple's installed base of devices is fueling record revenue in services, which hit $19 billion, up 24% year over year. Higher demand for apps and subscriptions is also driving higher margins, and Apple may not be done stacking its service lineup with ways to add more recurring revenue in the business.
Bloomberg recently reported that Apple may be planning to offer a subscription plan for customers to buy hardware devices. This could further accelerate the adoption of iPhones, making them more affordable for the masses.
Apple's stock price more than tripled over the last three years. Its higher valuation might keep it from delivering similar returns over the next few years, but demand for iPhones is great news for the long-term growth in the lucrative services business. Analysts expect Apple to generate 10% annualized growth in earnings per share over the next five years, and that's probably a reasonable estimate of what kind of returns investors can expect.
