The process of making whisky is often romanticized as having a little bit of magic involved, and that might be true, but in reality there’s also a great deal of math required.
Proportions are crucial, from mashbill to fermentation to separating the distillate into heads, tails and hearts. The same precision is alsi applied to designing an automobile, so the recent collaboration between Scottish distillery Bowmore and British car company Aston Martin feels like a natural fit. The result is the new Masters’ Selection 21 Year Old, a single malt based on the concept of the “golden ratio.”
The creative minds behind this release are Bowmore master blender Ron Welsh and Aston Martin executive VP and chief creative officer Marek Reichman. According to Reichman, the golden ratio has been an inspiration for the design team at Aston Martin to create cars based on both form and function.
This time-honored mathematical ratio, which occurs when the ratio of two numbers is equal to the ratio of their sum to the larger number, can be found in nature, art, and architecture. If that seems a bit abstract in regards to cars and whisky, what it boils down to is this: The base whisky is a 21-year-old single malt aged in first-fill Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks that makes up 61.8 percent of the blend. The remaining percentages are exact ratios of whisky that include some more than 35 years old, matured in ex-bourbon barrels, Pineau des Charentes barriques, white port barriques and second-fill Oloroso hogsheads. The peat level of the whisky is in line with the relatively tame character that this Islay distillery is known for, with some smoke and sweet butter greeting you on the nose. The palate opens up with orange, cherry, subtle campfire and some dark chocolate, with a slightly tannic finish that doesn’t become overly dry. Indeed, this is very different from the Bowmore core lineup, something that isn’t always the case with these special releases.
This is the fourth collaboration between Bowmore and Aston Martin (previous expressions were 10-, 15-, and 18-year-old whiskies), but the process used to blend this one really stands out. Ultimately, every whisky (aside from a single cask release) is a blend of different liquids with great attention paid to percentage and proportion to achieve just the right flavor. In that regard, this is really no different, but the inspiration and aesthetic behind this new Masters’ Selection does make for a good story.

(Our Auto Expert) Going all-electric might be too much of a big step for some. The reasons may be different for different people. Charging may be an issue, range anxiety, or the technology may be overwhelming. Whatever the reason, plug-in hybrids are a great way to introduce a particular electric vehicle with gas backup before making the jump to an all-electric vehicle.
So what are the best Plug-In-Hybrids in America right now? When it comes to CUVs, Ford hit it out of the park with the Escape Hybrid. The Escape is the second best-selling Ford SUV/CUV next to the Explorer. The PHEV uses a four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor to output 221 HP, which feels like a lot more. Because the battery is under the passenger seats, there is loads of cargo space. Also, it has a low ingress height, so the little dogs and my folks had no problem getting in and out—thirty-seven miles on a single electric charge. A total of 520 miles range with gas an estimated huge 105 MPGe and a starting price under 35k before any tax breaks.
Currently, the 2023 Range Rover PHEV claims the best range with the best-estimated range of 50 miles on electricity alone at the time of this release. This statistic has not been independently verified. This Vehicle is a new generation of Range Rover. The company will offer 434 horsepower and maybe as much as 62 miles on a single charge, but we will report back when we have tested it.
The most range for a non-luxury PHEV in the non-luxury segment is the 2022 Toyota Rav4 Prime. Toyota started a theme called their prime vehicles. Prime is the name Toyota has given to all the plug-in Hybrid vehicles in their lineup. The first Prime model that Toyota started with was the Prius. The Rav4 Prime gets 42 Miles of electric-only range. However, it has a whopping 300 HP and drives considerably better than the regular Rav4 and hybrid Rav4 Modules.
Mini has a Mini Cooper Countryman SE AWD. It is Mini’s offering in the plug-in hybrid category. The Cooper Countryman SE has 73 MPGe and 29 MPG when using the hybrid engine alone. Mini already has an advantage because they put all four wheels in each corner, which means that this Vehicle can whip around corners in and out of traffic. It’s also easy to park in the city and squeeze into tight spaces. So naturally, it is a Mini and lots of fun to drive.
From the Koreans Hyundai and Kia, some real winners in the Plug-in Hybrid Department. Hyundai has the 2022 Tucson PHEV with 33 Miles on a Single Charge. It comes with the HTRAC AWD and 261 HP and starts under $35,000. In addition, they are more readily available than many other plugs in hybrids that seem to be in short supply.
Over at Kia, the Nero, which stands at under $30,000, gets an estimated 26 miles of all-electric range, does an EPA estimated 105 miles per gallon equivalent combined, and up to 560 miles of total driving range, which is outstanding and much more than many of the competition.
Kia just announced the new Sportage PAEV. It will do approximately 32 miles on a single charge of electricity. The Portage PHEV will be a 2023 model. We saw it for the first time at the Chicago international auto show. The unveiled model looked stunning in the matte gray paint, something futuristic it will have a turbocharged engine with outstanding efficiency. However, some of the numbers are yet to be supplied by Kia. Kia will focus on 2 Trim levels with all-wheel drive, and an on-sale date will come later.
Behind Range Rover, BMW leads the pack. The BMW 330E delivers on the promise of the ultimate driving machine with a zero to 60 mile an hour time of 4.9 seconds and a fuel economy of 79 MPGE. It also comes with a basic warranty of four years, 50,000 miles, and 35 miles on electric-only power.
The BMW X5 Xdrive 45E plug-in hybrid starts under $64,000. Again, the ultimate driving machine Does 50 MPGe seats five people has lots of extras like a parking assistance package, climate comfort package, premium package, heated front seats, armrests, and steering wheel, four-zone automatic climate control does approximately 30 miles on a single charge of electricity, the sports package, parking assistance package, 0- 60 MPH in 5.3 seconds. BMW also has a 530 E sedan and a 745 E sedan rounding out their range of electrified plug-in hybrids in the luxury segment
Whatever you choose, plug-in hybrids are a good step before becoming the master of electrification. You can get used to plugging your Vehicle in when you come home at night and having the experience of driving on electricity alone. Making the step to electricity for a vehicle is more training your mind than anything else. The challenges are not as complex as you think, but it is something you need to get used to | https://www.wavy.com/automotive/which-plug-in-hybrids-are-the-best-for-2022/ | 2022-04-15T20:27:16Z | https://www.wavy.com/automotive/which-plug-in-hybrids-are-the-best-for-2022/ | true | 21 |

CANTON, N.Y. (WWTI) — Students in the North Country are leading the call to action in supporting Ukraine.
SUNY Canton’s Educational Opportunity Program is leading a fundraiser to collect donations for citizens and refugees combatting the ongoing Ukraine crisis.
EOP Director Walvi DeJesus explained in a press release that this staff and their students chose to contribute as a tribute to the ideals of Arthur O. Eve, a former politician and leader of the SUNY-wide Educational Opportunity Program.
“We have taken the lead on campus to collect needed items for the relief efforts,” DeJesus said. “We put out the call to the SUNY Canton community and have even received local support for this effort.”
According to SUNY Canton EOP Counselor Jessica R. Barstow, students and staff had collected about 40 bags of clothing and added toiletries and other supplies during a two-week drive. A substantial donation was received from Treasures Cove, a thrift store in downtown Potsdam.
“I think after everything we’ve been through as a society that it’s more important than ever to give back when we are able,” Barstow shared. “So many people have volunteered to make this happen. It takes a lot of effort to create the supply chains necessary to get the items to those who can benefit from them.”
To transport the goods overseas to Ukraine, SUNY Canton worked with Jefferson-Lewis Board of Realtors’ Brenda H. Sipher, who collected the donations and transported them to the Watertown Fairgrounds.
All donations are set to soon make their journey to the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey and then shipped to Poland. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-header/new-york-news/suny-canton-students-collect-bags-of-goods-for-ukrainian-refugees/ | 2022-04-15T20:33:59Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-header/new-york-news/suny-canton-students-collect-bags-of-goods-for-ukrainian-refugees/ | false | 2 |
Nelson Rodriguez never thought college would be part of his career journey.
“I was totally not the school type,” Rodriguez says. “I didn’t enjoy it.”
But in 2013, he started working as a maintenance helper at AJ Rose Manufacturing in Avon, and his perspective on what school meant began to change.
Rodriguez, who lives in Lorain, handles day-to-day maintenance on AJ Rose’s enormous machines that stamp rolls and rolls of sheet metal into various automotive parts.
If a part of the machine breaks down, he fixes it.
If nothing is broken, he makes sure the machines are running as efficiently and effectively as possible.
“It’s a big deal to keep things running at an optimal pace,” he says. “A little bit of grease will save you 10 hours later on down the road.
“The little things are important.”
The job suits Rodriguez, who enjoys working with his hands.
And initially he thought it would keep him out of the classrooms he disliked.
But after a few years, Rodriguez has been one of 10 employees to ask AJ Rose leadership if he could go back to school to earn his journeyman card.
And this time, school was different.
AJ Rose enlisted the help of Lorain County Community College to create apprenticeship programs for their maintenance and toolroom employees.
Molly Lucas, human resources manager for AJ Rose, says the company has worked with LCCC for decades on other training programs and knew the college would build programs tailored to the skillsets their employees need.
“They came out to us, and we had meetings with the supervisors and managers of those departments, and we worked with LCCC to customize the classes and internal training to meet our needs,” Lucas says.
Chrissy Cooney, who’s responsible for business engagement at LCCC and met with the AJ Rose team, says this onboarding process helps the college identify the type of programs that would work best for the employer and employees.
In AJ Rose’s case, they decided on a state of Ohio registered apprenticeship program.
Once the type of training program is selected, the LCCC team handles a multitude of processes from aligning standards to conducting employee placement testing to completing state-required progress filings.
“There are so many local businesses that want to send their employees back to school for training, but it puts the onus on the employer in terms of what type of program to create and how to handle it,” Cooney says. “We answer all those questions and then assume the work that would otherwise be an added strain on their human resource team, at no cost to the employer.”
Resources
Cooney says LCCC’s resources not only help the employer make training programs more feasible, but they help employees make completion more attainable.
“We want the students to be either at home, at work or in class, not filling out paperwork or searching for a certain textbook,” she says. “We do all that for them so all they need to focus on is succeeding.”
Rodriguez started taking classes at LCCC in 2016, learning skills like PCL Logic programming, hydraulics, pneumatics and electrical circuits.
He says every hour spent in the classroom has made him better at his job.
“You can turn a wrench; you can plug in a wire,” Rodriguez says. “But when you take the course and break it down from the beginning to the end, you understand torque and voltage.
“And understanding the mechanics behind what I’m doing saves time when I walk up to a problem and start troubleshooting.”
And Rodriguez found himself enjoying his time in class, learning from instructors who had life lessons to share.
“It was really nice to have these teachers who were in the trade, who experienced the same things that you’re experiencing,” he says. “It made it a better learning environment because you heard that story that wasn’t in the textbook, but it was on the subject.”
Support from his instructors and employer helped make a grueling schedule more bearable.
Rodriguez often would leave work throughout the day to attend class or head to campus before or after his shifts.
“You have to see the finish line to go through the apprenticeship program,” he says. “There were some pretty long days and there were no weekends because it was either work or it was school.”
Just like Rodriguez kept his long-term goal in mind, Lucas says AJ Rose has made apprenticeship programs part of its current and future workforce development plans.
The company can hire employees as helpers who then immediately start on-the-job training and apprenticeship classes at LCCC.
As they progress in the apprenticeship program, they’re promoted to higher job classifications at the company.
“This is really important for AJ Rose,” Lucas says. “These programs help companies recruit, build and retain a highly skilled workforce.”
Upward mobility
Rodriguez, who now is a senior group leader in maintenance and a maintenance mechanic journeyman, is a perfect example of retention success.
He says upward mobility at AJ Rose has helped solidify his commitment to the company.
“I’ve been here almost a decade; this is the longest that I’ve been employed with one facility at a time,” he says. “This company treats me very well, and I’d like to keep moving forward.”
And the maintenance journeyman who once said he wasn’t the school type, plans to continue his education.
“After I got the wheels turning, I enjoyed it and I want to keep it moving” he says. “My next step is to pursue my associate degree in mechanical maintenance with LCCC.”

(Our Auto Expert) — This is a Supercar disguised as a family sedan. And if you’ve ever needed a little excitement, anything in the Mercedes AMG family that contains the letter “S” is a guarantee.
I’m pretty easy to please. All it takes is the sound of an AMG exhaust. But the E-class family of cars are also a friend and super friendly. Thanks to the MBUX system. That is Mercedes’ infotainment brain. It was originally a little clunky but now you can almost have a conversation with it. A lot of other vehicle companies haven’t been able to do what Mercedes have with their infotainment system.
Giving you a small example, when I was testing this car, I told it. I am too hot. It spoke up and adjusted the temperature to my liking and I didn’t have to lift a finger.
Thanks to Mercedes’s early adoption of technology. You will never miss a thing. When it comes to the display, the Mercedes AMG E63S has those huge two screens across the front, giving you all your infotainment and your gauged displays.
And if you want to use your device, you can do that. Seamless integration of Apple car play and Android auto is as simple as plugging and playing.
For the audiophiles, Mercedes have turned the speakers into art inside the car and audio leaves an impression, especially in a car like this.
You can impress your friends with the Burmester sound system and tweeters that pop out.
For most AMG, means the thrill of the drive.
So you wanted more control over your Mercedes AMG E63S? Well, this vehicle has it, including race mode.
I am not sure why you would move it out of race mode. Apparently, there are other moves to
you can change those Drive modes right from the steering wheel. And when you do the gauges change as well to let you know what mode you’re actually in.
The AMG steering wheel is quite a work of art with tactile touchpads and controls allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel for most of the drive. Yet still, be able to control most of the operations of the car.
There’s a five-spoke steering wheel, which gives you everything from buttons to tactile responses, but it is still under the hood. The oily bits if you will, that get excited for many.
Personally what gets me excited about this AMG E63S *IS* the oily bits, V8-4liter twin-turbo engine, outputting 603 horsepower. And a 0-60 time of around three seconds.
Mercedes still prides itself on the V8, one-man, one-engine idea. And like every handcrafted AMG engine. It has a nameplate signed by the engineer that built the engine. It’s those kinds of details that push the AMG brand over the top, further, connect with the buyer, and maintain that level of luxury we all know and love that comes with Mercedes. | https://www.wbtw.com/automotive/mercedes-e63-s-family-sedan-by-day-supercar-by-night/ | 2022-04-15T20:35:36Z | https://www.wbtw.com/automotive/mercedes-e63-s-family-sedan-by-day-supercar-by-night/ | false | 21 |
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – There’s a big white sign on Chesapeake Boulevard in Norfolk pointing to the home next door that reads: “Do not buy that house before talking to me.”
WAVY contacted homeowner Conner Jewell, who put up the banner-like sign. The neighboring house is undergoing work.
That house, like Jewell’s home, is owned and rehabbed by Mozart Investment LLC. Jewell said he is warning people of issues he’s had with his home since he and his wife purchased it.
“Flush our toilet, came out of the shower,” Jewell said.
Jewell said he had serious plumbing issues almost from the start of moving in. In fact, he and his wife had to move out days after closing on the house. The home’s problems ended up costing them thousands of dollars.
“Well, I was sitting back, and I had already taken my loss and I said if I am not going to get any of my money back, then what can I do to help the buyer of that house,” he said pointing to the house next door.
When you enter the Jewell home now, you see on the couch a blanket that has pictures of the Jewells.
They both grew up in Kentucky. Jewell and his wife, Michael (who is named after her father), were childhood sweethearts. They were married on July 14, 2018. He’s active-duty U.S. Navy fixing helicopters, and she is a special education teacher. On Oct. 7, 2021, they bought their first home at 2934 Chesapeake Boulevard, and it quickly became a house of horrors.
“I would flush the toilet. I turn on the water in either sink, and it would all come out in my bathtub … waste from the toilet would back up into the tub,” he said.
After spending $289,000 for the rehabbed house — it cost the seller only about half of that amount before the rehab process — Jewell’s plumbing issues demanded immediate attention. So, he got opinions from five master contractors.
“One came out, got under the house. The first thing he saw was raw sewage and water coming out of the pipe and right off the bat, found there were improper fittings … It was all back-graded into my house. There was no way for it to exit into the city sewer.”
Some of the problems were there in Jewell’s C & C Home Inspections report. One picture showed a pipe going sharply up and not down to take water out of the home and into the city pipe.
“Some of the pipes were at 90-degree angles. Sewage was backing up into the home,” Jewell said.
Jewell confronted the home inspector about the pipe. “They told me they are not code inspectors, so it is not their job,” he said.
WAVY spoke with the owner of C & C Home Inspections, Curt Lind, who has since renamed the company and operates out of his home.
“I refunded his money,” Lind said of Jewell. The amount was $325, but Jewell said he refused to cash the check, unhappy with the home inspector’s services.
Lind said, “I apologized to him, and that is why I sent it through to my insurance company,” to let them settle the dispute.
The insurance company supported their client, Lind, finding the home inspector “did his job on the day of the inspection.”
Lind added, “The day of the inspection, the water ran just fine and did not back up the day of the inspection … and we ran the water from the sinks and tubs.”
But when Lind went back to the house on a follow-up visit, there were issues.
“The day I went back over there, I met his wife, and the crawl space was flooded. I do not disagree … I could not go in there,” he said.
Jewell’s attorney sent a demand letter threatening to sue Mozart Investment LLC, which rehabbed the home and sold it to Jewell.
“The entire drain system was improperly installed, including plumbing pipes with improper 90-degree bends … the drain lines not vented properly and are back graded … and the main sewer in the crawlspace was installed improperly,” Jewell’s attorney, Bryan Peeples, said in a letter stating what the plumbers found.
Mozart Investment recently closed down. An attorney representing Mozart’s registered agent, Shiller Menard, responded to questions about why water and electric permits were not pulled in compliance with the City of Norfolk for the home refurbishing.
Kevin Brunick responded, “I do not believe they are under an obligation to do that.”
However, a city spokesperson said, “There were no plumbing or electrical improvements proposed or requested. … Adding new water lines and electrical wiring will require permits.”
WAVY obtained a notice of violation that Jewell received after he requested the city to inspect, and the violation states, “Work done with no permits … work not installed to code.”
Jewell speculated on how this all happened.
“[They are probably thinking] ‘Oh, he’s active duty. That’s just some dumb military kid,” he said. “He won’t know someone pushed something up under the rug. He’ll never know.’” | https://www.wbtw.com/news/national/do-not-buy-that-house-before-talking-to-me-sign-in-virginia-reads/ | 2022-04-15T20:37:03Z | https://www.wbtw.com/news/national/do-not-buy-that-house-before-talking-to-me-sign-in-virginia-reads/ | true | 47 |
Columbus Zoo, Ohio, ‘active shooter’ rumors panic Easter weekend visitors as cops tase man after traffic accident
POLICE tased a man after he fled his car during a traffic accident at a zoo on Friday - but rumors quickly spread that there was an active shooter.
Authorities quickly debunked the rumors saying no shots were fired at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio.
The phony reports were sparked on social media as an active shooter situation when a patron reportedly yelled "shooter" after hearing a loud "popping" sound.
However, Delaware County Sheriff's Office discredited the reports, saying a person at the zoo was tased by a deputy, but no gunfire was exchanged.
The Columbus Zoo said the incident was caused by a traffic accident in front of the zoo shortly after 2pm.
An individual driving a Jeep did not follow the officer’s direction and quickly drove into the Zoo parking lot, and the officer followed, the zoo said in a statement.
The driver of the Jeep jumped out of the vehicle and fled on foot, which led to a pursuit from the officer and additional police assistance.
When the individual did not stop, an officer drew their weapon and the other officer tased the individual.
The zoo confirmed no gunfire was exchanged and the individual and officers did not enter the facility.
The sheriff’s office confirmed the person was taken into custody after being tased.
Most read in The US Sun
The zoo will remain open for the rest of the day despite the incident.
Although no shots were fired, zoo guests described the experience as the "scariest moment of their life."
"Thankful for the quick reaction of @ColumbusZoo after what happened at the park today. Scariest moment of my life," one guest tweeted.
Another visitor shared: "We ran and hid until it was safe and we are now going home. We are all safe. Easily the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced with my children. Hug your families extra tight today please."
"A beautiful Good Friday day date with my daughters to the Columbus Zoo quickly turned into the scariest moment of my life when suddenly waves of people took off running due to reports of an Active Shooter," shared a third guest.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A highly contagious form of avian influenza has been found in two Idaho chicken flocks, prompting state agriculture officials to warn bird owners to take extra protections when interacting with their flocks.
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture announced Friday that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, commonly called bird flu, was detected in the domestic flocks located roughly 200 miles apart in Gooding and Caribou counties.
The virus, which can be transmitted by migrating birds, has been spreading across the U.S. since February, putting poultry farms and zoos on high alert. Wyoming, Colorado and Montana were among the states that reported new cases this month, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's bird flu tracking website.
Cooking meat and eggs to proper temperatures kills the virus, according to health experts. Humans can catch bird flu but such cases are rare, the ISDA said in a prepared statement, and usually result in symptoms like pink eye, fever or diarrhea.
The disease is often fatal to chickens, and other domestic birds.
“It is essential for poultry owners to be vigilant in monitoring for illness,” the IDSA wrote in a press release. Owners should immediately contact the state veterinarian if bird flu symptoms, like decreased appetite, difficulty breathing or unexplained death occurs appears in a flock.
Owners should have dedicated clothing and tools for interacting with each flock, and practice good hygiene like washing hands before and after handling birds, the state agency said. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Highly-contagious-bird-flu-found-in-2-Idaho-17084180.php | 2022-04-15T20:46:02Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Highly-contagious-bird-flu-found-in-2-Idaho-17084180.php | false | 11 |
Jesy Nelson has unfollowed her on-off boyfriend Harry James on social media, it has been reported.
The 30-year-old, who's currently sunning it up across the pond in California, is getting ready to relaunch her career in summer.
However, along with her relaunch, Jesy has reportedly revamped the team around her - which includes ditching her on-off beau.
Harry is credited as the editor of Jesy's controversial music video Boyz and, while it gave her a top five hit, was slammed with blackfishing accusations.
According to The Sun, the pair have since unfollowed one another.
A source told the publication: "It may seem savage but it’s business. The bottom line is that video almost derailed her chances of a solo career."
They added that changes "had to be made" and, due to their history, it was decided that they needed to part ways.
The Mirror has contacted Jesy's reps for comment.
The pair first dated for a year in 2017 before rekindling their romance last year in August during a trip to Antigua.
It comes after Jesy hit back at blackfishing claims last October as she said she was "aware she is a white British woman".
She came under fire following the release of her music video after fans accused her of blackfishing - a term that refers to someone who is pretending to be black or mixed-race.
Her debut single Boyz starred Jesy alongside rapper Nikki Minaj and P Diddy, but fans were not impressed to see the former Little Mix star sporting a deep tan and braided hair in the footage.
However, Jesy hit back at claims of cultural appropriation, pointing out that the term blackfishing had never been directed towards her before she left Little Mix.
The Essex-born singer told Vulture in an interview: "I'm very aware that I'm a white British woman; I've never said that I wasn't.
"But I mean, like, I love Black culture. I love Black music. That's all I know; it's what I grew up on." | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/jesy-nelson-unfollows-boyfriend-theyre-26724413 | 2022-04-15T20:53:30Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/jesy-nelson-unfollows-boyfriend-theyre-26724413 | false | 2 |
Google has been working to integrate Lens into many other apps to help users quickly find relevant information about images. The tool has been a part of the Google Chrome mobile app since 2019 as the de facto way to perform image searches. Lens eventually arrived in desktop Chrome as a direct replacement for the right-click reverse image search. Now, it’s getting updated to do more than just search for images.
When Lens first arrived on desktop Chrome, right-clicking on an image brought up a “Search image with Google Lens” option. When clicked, you were taken to a lens.google.com/search website with the image in question on the left (complete with the ability to crop and focus), while the generated results appeared on the right. With the new update, the left column with the image now gives you three new options: Search, Text, and Translate, according to 9to5Google.
Search is the default reverse image finder, still with the option to crop into any part of your picture. However, you now get a “Find image source” shortcut that opens Google Images. This means you still get to use the original Image Search experience (which Google ditched in favor of Lens), even though it adds an extra step. On the other hand, Text and Translate allow you to click and select a portion of text (or the whole thing), copy, listen, translate, or search for it. The two tabs are interchangeable, too, so you can copy text from Translate and translate words (or sentences) from Text.
The Translate UI is very similar to the mobile app’s interface. First, Lens auto-detects the language, although you can set it manually. It then displays the translations directly over the original text and lists them on the right sidebar, where you can easily copy them if you wish. You can even open the text right inside translate.google.com for a more robust experience.
The changes seem to be widely available for users on Chrome 100 for Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS. | https://www.androidpolice.com/google-lens-desktop-chrome-google-images-copy-translate/ | 2022-04-15T20:56:27Z | https://www.androidpolice.com/google-lens-desktop-chrome-google-images-copy-translate/ | false | 1 |
JPMorgan Chase: Upgrade To Buy After 27% Correction And Reassuring Q1 Results
Summary
- We upgrade our rating on JPM to Buy after shares fell 27% from their peak to 1.8x Tangible Book; Q1 2022 results were reassuring.
- Excluding one-off credit reserve builds/releases, profits were stable sequentially and similar to the level in pre-COVID Q1 2020.
- Profits are normalizing after their COVID-year boost, but JPM businesses are otherwise stable, loan growth is accelerating and yields are rising.
- Q1 results support the 16% Return on Tangible Common Equity we assume, which implies a 11.3x P/E. The Dividend Yield is 3.2%.
- With shares at $126.12, we expect an exit price of $198 and a total return of 73% (16.8% annualized) by 2025 year-end. Buy.
Introduction
We are upgrading our rating on JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) from Hold to Buy, after shares have fallen 27% from their peak, and following a review of Q1 2022 results released on Wednesday (April 13).
We downgraded JPM to Hold in April 2021 on valuation. Before that, JPM was Buy-rated in our coverage from April 2020, and also between February 2019 and January 2020, resulting in gains of 74.6% and 32.9% respectively:
With JPM shares having fallen 18.7% in the 12 months since our downgrade, and trading at 1.8x Price / Tangible Book Value ("P/TBV"), we believe they are attractive again. Q1 results confirm our long-term views on the business. Our forecasts show a total return of 73% (16.8% annualized) by 2025 year-end, and the Dividend Yield is currently 3.2%.
Buy Case Recap
We believe large U.S. banks can grow their earnings at “GDP +”, thanks to their scale, diversified franchise and leading market positions:
- Large banks achieve Net Interest Income ("NII") on favourable Net Yields, thanks to their cheap deposit funding; Net Yields had shrunk in recent years due to Quantitative Easing ("QE"), but this is now reversing
- They have large Non-Interest Revenues such as investment banking fees, which tend to become elevated during periods of QE as cheap money stimulates corporate and market activity, offsetting NII weakness
- Their cost ratios tend to be stable or improving, as economies of scale and use of technology help them become more efficient
- They are now far less impacted by economic downturns than in the past, thanks to QE policies and much larger capital buffers after the 2008 crisis
We believe JPM has the best franchise among large U.S. banks, though Bank of America (BAC) has similar advantages and is also Buy-rated.
With JPM, we assume a long-term, across-the-cycle average Return on Tangible Common Equity ("ROTCE") of 16%, which is 1 ppt lower than management's own target and supported by JPM's track record (adjusted for differences in capital ratios before 2008 and the tax rate before 2018):
We believe JPM shares should trade at a 15x P/E, which on a 40% Payout Ratio would mean a Dividend Yield of 2.7%. With a ROTCE of 16%, this implies JPM shares should trade at a P/TBV of 2.4x - they are at 1.8x at present.
Q1 2022 results support our investment case, though elevated investment banking revenues in 2021 and irregular credit reserve builds/releases mean headline year-on-year comparisons look much less favorable.
Earnings Normalizing in Q1 2022
JPM's Q1 2022 EPS was 41.4% lower year-on-year and 21.0% lower sequentially, but the underlying trends were actually positive:
Non-Interest Revenues were down 12.4% year-on-year (though up 5.9% from Q4 2021), including double-digit declines in Investment Banking Fees, Principal Transactions, Investment Securities Gains, Mortgage Fees & Related Income and Card Income. The first four can be attributed to an exceptional prior year, while Card Income fell due to higher new account acquisition costs as JPM invests to grow its Card business:
Net Interest Revenues grew 7.5% year-on-year and 1.9% from Q4 2021, with improvements in both loan balances and Net Yields (more below).
Non-Interest Expense grew 2.5% year-on-year, with structural growth and investments in the cost base offset by lower revenue-related costs.
Pre-Provision Pre-Tax Profit, which excludes one-off reserve builds/releases, was 13.9% lower than the prior year, but slightly higher than both the preceding quarter than the (mostly) pre-COVID Q1 2020:
Provision for Credit Losses was positive $1.46bn, compared to negative figures of $4.16bn in Q1 2021 and $1.29bn in Q4 2021. This consisted of $0.6bn of Net Charge-Offs, no worse than prior quarters, and a reserve build of $0.9bn, compared to large releases before:
The change in reserve builds/releases was the main reason that Pre-Tax Profit was 42.1% lower year-on-year, and is mostly one-off in nature (including $0.3bn in name-specific builds, "primarily" on Russia-related exposure).
The number of shares was down 3.3% year-on-year but flat sequentially, due to Q1 being the quarter when share incentives are recorded. JPM spent $2.5bn to repurchase 18.1m shares in Q1, but this was offset by 11.0m shares issued for employee compensation.
Return on Tangible Common Equity was 16%, lower than prior periods but in line with our (long-term average) assumption.
The Common Equity Tier-1 ("CET1") ratio was 11.9%, down from 13.0% in Q4, but near the top of management’s 11-12% target range. It was kept high in the preceding quarter to absorb anticipated charges.
Overall, JPM's headline results were in line with our investment case, and their unfavourable comparisons with prior periods merely represent a normalization in credit provisions and wholesale revenues from a pandemic year.
Results from individual segments show the same pattern.
Segments Stable Excluding COVID Boost
JPM's segments are stable, albeit with earnings normalizing from their elevated levels in 2021 and impacted by one-off credit reserve changes:
We focus on revenues as Net Income figures are hit by reserve changes.
Consumer & Community Banking revenues were down 2.3% year-on-year, as higher revenues in Consumer & Business Banking (from higher deposits and client assets) were offset by lower revenues in Home Lending (mortgage activity was high last year due to low rates) and in Card & Auto (higher Card account acquisition costs, lower Auto volumes due to vehicle shortages).
Corporate & Investment Banking revenues were down 7.4% year-on-year, primarily due to much lower Investment Banking ("IB") fees for both Debt (down 20%) and Equity (down 76%) underwriting. IB Advisory fees were up, and Markets revenues were only 3% lower year-on-year. There was also a $524m loss in Credit Adjustments & Other, due to spreads widening and credit valuation adjustments (including on Russia-related exposure).
Commercial Banking revenues were up 0.2% year-on-year, with lower IB revenues being offset by higher payments revenue and deposits.
Asset & Wealth Management revenues were up 5.8% year-on-year, due to growth in deposits and loans, higher management and performance fees, and the absence of valuation gains in the prior year.
Net Interest Income Growth Accelerating
A key positive development is the acceleration in NII growth. Year-on-year NII growth was 7.6% in Q1, compared to 2.6% in Q4 2021 (sequential growth is less comparable due to seasonality in loan balances):
Year-on-year NII growth was primarily driven by a 6.8% growth in Interest-Earning Assets, which includes a 5.4% growth in Total Loans (measured on average balances; on period-end balances, Loans grew 6.2% year-on-year, or 8% excluding COVID-era Paycheck Protection Program loans). This represents a continuation of the loan growth since the Q3 2020 trough:
Net Yield on all interest-earning assets was still 2 bps lower year-on-year, though it was up 2 bps excluding Markets. It was up 4 bps sequentially (or 5 bps excluding Markets):
JPM stands to benefit from the rise in rates expectations since the start of the year. CFO Jeremy Barnum stated on the call that NII outlook for 2022 has improved since February, though JPM is not formally raising its outlook:
We still expect NII ex Markets to be in excess of $53bn and adjusted expenses to be approximately $77bn ... given what's happened in terms of Fed hike expectations and what's getting questioned into the front of the curve, we would actually expect the 'excess' part of 'in excess of $53bn' to be bigger than it was at Credit Suisse (Financial Services Forum in February)."
Management will provide "more color" on the NII outlook at the investor day scheduled next month.
Market Share Gains Enlarged Revenue Bases
One key question is how much Corporate & Investment Banking ("CIB") revenues will fall back to pre-COVID levels; they remained substantially higher in Q1 2021 in NII and Principal Transactions (trading revenues in Markets):
The transaction-based nature of much of these revenues makes them hard to predict, but there is hope that they will not fall back all the way to 2019 levels, due to market share gains permanently enlarging their bases. As the CFO opined on the call:
"If you define normalization as a return to kind of like 2019-type trading run rate levels, we never expected that because there's been a bunch of organic growth in the background, some share gains."
The same dynamics should apply to NII in CIB, due to share gains in lending.
Same 2022 and Medium-Term Outlook
Management's outlook for 2022 and the medium term is unchanged.
For 2022, JPM is still expecting NII "in excess of" $53bn, though with a larger "excess" than before (as explained above), and expense of $77bn:
For the medium term, JPM continues to have "confidence" of achieving a "17% ROTCE through the cycle", albeit with the same short-term headwinds that may push ROTCE below the target as articulated at Q4 2021 results.
We continue to assume a slightly lower 16% ROTCE, and note this was achieved in Q1 2022 even with one-off negatives such as on Russian exposure.
JPM Stock Key Metrics
With shares at $126.12, JPM shares are trading at 1.8x P/TBV (TBV is $69.58 per share). The P/E multiple is 10.7x if we apply management's targeted ROTCE of 17%, or 11.3x if we apply our expected ROTCE of 16%.
(Relative to history, JPM shares are on 10.7x, 13.5x and 8.0x P/E relative to 2019, 2020 and 2021 earnings respectively, though 2020-21 earnings are distorted by credit reserve builds/releases and not representative.)
JPM stock pays a dividend of $1.00 per quarter ($4.00 annualized), having been raised 11% this year, and representing a Dividend Yield of 3.2%.
JPM Stock Forecasts
We maintain the same forecasts as before, but update our buyback assumption given the lower share price:
- Tangible Book Value to stay flat after dividends and buybacks
- ROTCE to be 15% in 2022, and 16% from 2023
- Dividend to be on a 40% Payout Ratio from 2022
- Net Income after dividends to be spent on buybacks
- Buybacks to be done at 2.0x P/TBV (was. 2.3x)
- P/E multiple to be 15x at 2025 year-end
The 15x P/E assumed is equivalent to a 2.3x P/TBV, based on our assumed ROTCE of 16%, and implies a Dividend Yield of 2.7%.
Our 2025 EPS forecast is 2% higher than before ($12.97):
With shares at $126.12, we expect an exit price of $198 and a total return of 73% (16.8% annualized) by 2025 year-end.
Conclusion: Is JPM Stock a Buy?
Excluding one-off credit reserve builds/releases, profits were stable sequentially and similar to the level in pre-COVID Q1 2020.
Profits are normalizing after their COVID-year boost, but JPM's businesses are otherwise stable, loan growth is accelerating and yields are rising.
Q1 results support the 16% Return on Tangible Common Equity we assume. With shares trading at 1.8x Tangible Book Value, this implies a 11.3x P/E.
With shares at $126.12, we expect an exit price of $198 and a total return of 73% (16.8% annualized) by 2025 year-end.
We upgrade our rating on JPMorgan Chase & Co. stock to Buy.

Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker are major doubts for Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool on Saturday, Pep Guardiola has confirmed.
The pair were both substituted after suffering injuries in Wednesday’s fractious Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital.
That game ended 0-0 but City progressed to the semi-finals with a 1-0 win on aggregate.
Both players were unable to participate as City held a training session at Millwall’s ground on Friday having travelled straight to London from Spain.
Guardiola confirmed playmaker De Bruyne had required stitches in a foot wound while Walker had suffered a twisted ankle.
Speaking at a press conference at the Championship club’s ground, Guardiola said: “They didn’t train today. We’ll see tomorrow but apparently it’d be so close after what happened on Wednesday.”
The ill-tempered affair with Atletico ended with a melee involving several players from both sides in injury time and further scuffles broke out in the tunnel afterwards.
Guardiola did not want to comment immediately after the match and was still in no mood to do so after two days’ reflection.
“It’s the past,” he said. “I’m not talking about it. We have an important game tomorrow.”
One player who was able to train on Friday was defender Ruben Dias, who was an unused substitute in midweek having been out since the start of March with a thigh injury.
Guardiola said: “He did train today. It was his third session with us.”
City are facing Liverpool for the second time in a week after last weekend’s thrilling 2-2 draw in the Premier League.
The result left Guardiola’s defending champions just one point ahead of their title rivals in the Premier League with seven games left.
Liverpool also progressed to the Champions League semi-finals this week with a 6-4 aggregate victory against Benfica.
The semi-final at Wembley will either end Liverpool’s bid for an unprecedented quadruple or extinguish City’s hopes of becoming only the second English team to win the prized treble of the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. | https://independent.ng/de-bruyne-walker-miss-man-city-training-ahead-of-liverpool-fa-cup-semi/ | 2022-04-15T21:03:21Z | https://independent.ng/de-bruyne-walker-miss-man-city-training-ahead-of-liverpool-fa-cup-semi/ | true | 17 |

Mysterious liver illness seen in kids in US, Europe
NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials in several countries are investigating mysterious cases of severe liver disease in children, and they think it may be related to a kind of virus usually associated with colds.
The U.K. has been investigating at least 74 cases in which children came down with hepatitis, or liver inflammation, the World Health Organization said Friday. Three similar cases in Spain and a few in Ireland are being investigated, the WHO said.
Meanwhile, U.S. health officials say they are looking into nine similar cases. All were in Alabama, but officials say they are looking to see if there are more elsewhere.
“Given the increase in cases reported over the past one month and enhanced case search activities, more cases are likely to be reported in the coming days,” WHO officials said in a statement.
The U.S. children ranged in age from 1 to 6 years old, and two required liver transplants. The European cases are in a similar age range, though some have been older, WHO officials said.
The WHO first became aware of the unusual illnesses early this month, when they learned of 10 children in Scotland with liver problems. One got sick in January and the nine others in March. All became severely ill and were diagnosed with hepatitis after being taken to the hospital.
The liver processes nutrients, filters the blood and fights infections. The infections caused symptoms like jaundice, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Hepatitis can be life-threatening if left untreated.
Since then, British health officials have identified at least 64 more cases. None died, but six needed liver transplants, the WHO said Friday.
Laboratory testing has ruled out the hepatitis type A, B, C and E viruses that usually cause such illnesses. Officials say they are not aware of international travel or other factors that might have put the kids at risk.
But they noted there’s been a recent surge in the spread of adenoviruses.
There are dozens of adenoviruses, many of them associated with cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat and pink eye. But some versions can trigger other problems, including inflammation in the stomach and intestines.
Adenoviruses previously have been linked to hepatitis in children, but mostly in kids with weakened immune systems.
Some of the European children tested positive for adenovirus, and some tested positive for COVID-19. But more lab work is needed to explore any potential associations with specific viruses, the WHO said.
Alabama health officials say they have been looking into an increase in hepatitis in children since November. In each case, the child tested positive for adenovirus. Officials are exploring a link to one particular version — adenovirus 41 — that’s normally associated with gut inflammation.
None of the Alabama cases had any underlying health conditions that would seem to put them at risk for liver illness, health officials said.
“At this time adenovirus may be the cause for these, but investigators are still learning more — including ruling out the more common causes of hepatitis,” the CDC said in a statement.

Wil Dalton was the placed runner at second, pinch running for Hudson Potts, and Sogard drove him in with a base hit to center, giving the Sea Dogs a 3-2 lead. Koss kept the offense going with a single to right, bringing in Sogard and increasing the Sea Dogs lead to 4-2. In the bottom of the tenth inning, Justin Connell was the runner placed at second base for the Senators. He moved to third on a ground out by Jacob Rhinesmith then came to score on an RBI groundout by Jake Alu and the Senators continued to trail, 4-3. Frank German then struck out Jecksson Flores for the final out of the game to secure the victory.

Musk’s Retail Investor Army Could Offer Twitter Takeover Hope
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Investors currently don’t think much of Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter Inc, but the growing army of day traders and Tesla Inc. fans could change all that.
So far, institutional investors are underwhelmed. Musk offered Twitter’s board $54.20 per share in cash, valuing Twitter at about $43 billion. The social media company’s shares erased earlier gains and fell as much as 1.4% on the day to about $45.21. Not a good sign.
One shareholder is getting vocal. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said he rejects Musk’s offer as not coming “close to the intrinsic value” of Twitter “given its growth prospects.”
But Twitter was also the most-purchased stock on Fidelity’s platform Thursday, with its ticker trending on Reddit’s WallStreetBets and Stocktwits. When Musk disclosed his 9% stake in Twitter last week, retail investors helped fuel record trading volume on Monday for Twitter and have pushed $423.9 million into the stock since the disclosure.
It’s hard to tell whether Musk will call on retail investors to help support his bid. Musk has made it clear -- as much as it can be -- that $54.20 is his final price. “I am not playing the back-and-forth game,” he said in a U.S. securities filing revealing his bid.
That could mean if Twitter’s board rejects his offer, he might consider going hostile, and ask shareholders directly if they want to accept his bid. If he gets enough support -- 51% -- then Musk can do whatever he wants, in theory.
Musk has a history of moving markets via Twitter, where he’s one of the biggest personalities with over 80 million followers. In January 2021, after Musk professed his love for Etsy Inc., the company’s value jumped by more than $2 billion. One the same day, the one word “Gamestonk!!” helped send shares in GameStop Corp. up 92%.

If Musk chooses, he may be able to turn Twitter into a so-called meme stock. Last year firms like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and GameStop exploded, after retail investors flooded social media forums, causing shares to go haywire.
And Twitter is arguably the meme-ish of all stocks. It’s where most of them are made.

St. Cloud man charged with choking woman, dragging her by the hair
ST. CLOUD — A St. Cloud man faces three assault charges after allegedly choking a woman and dragging her around an apartment by her hair, according to a criminal complaint filed in Stearns County court.
Terrell Tywon Wilson, 25, is charged with felony domestic assault by strangulation and two counts of misdemeanor domestic assault.
According to the complaint against him, officers from the St. Cloud Police Department were dispatched to a domestic assault in progress in the 600 block of Ninth Street South on Thursday.
A woman at the scene told police Wilson got on top of her and choked her so she could not breathe or speak. Then she said Wilson pulled out some of her hair and cut her finger, the complaint said. Officers observed swelling and redness on the woman's neck and the hair that was pulled from her head.
Wilson told police he should be arrested for what he did, and said he choked the woman, pulled her hair and dragged her around the living room, the complaint said.
He said he choked the woman twice and "kind of blacked out" and destroyed other things in the apartment.
Wilson was booked in Stearns County jail and had a court date scheduled for Friday.

PHOENIX (AP) — Gerda Weissmann Klein, a Holocaust survivor who wrote about her ordeal and went on to receive a presidential medal of freedom, will be remembered at a memorial May 1 after her death this month.
Klein died April 3 in Phoenix, where she had lived since 1985. She was 97. Her granddaughter Alysa Cooper confirmed the death but did not give a cause.
Klein was born May 8, 1924, to Helene and Julius Weissmann in Bielsko, Poland.
She was a teenager when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939 and the family was forced to live in the basement of their home for three years. Klein's parents were later deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and she never saw them or her brother again.
Klein spent the next three years in Nazi camps. She met her future husband Army Lt. Kurt Klein when American soldiers liberated her and others from an abandoned bicycle factory in Volary, Czechoslovakia, on May 7, 1945, the eve of her 21st birthday.
At the time, she weighed just 68 pounds (30.8 kg) and her hair was prematurely gray.
Married in Paris on June 18, 1946, the couple started a new life in Buffalo, New York, and raised three children: Vivian, Leslie and James.
Klein described her wartime experiences in her memoir “All But My Life,” which has been widely used in high school and college curricula.
President Bill Clinton appointed Klein to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Council in 1997 and President Barack Obama awarded her with the 2010 Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
Last year she was inducted into the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame.
In addition to her children, she is survived by eight grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
A private burial was held.
Her family plans a virtual celebration of her life May 1. Details will be announced through Citizenship Counts, a nonprofit organization she founded with Cooper, her granddaughter. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Holocaust-survivor-author-Gerda-Weissmann-Klein-17084183.php | 2022-04-15T21:20:14Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Holocaust-survivor-author-Gerda-Weissmann-Klein-17084183.php | false | 23 |
ROSEVILLE, Calif. (KTXL) — A man was arrested in March after police said he appeared to be publicly drunk at a Roseville grocery store while with his children.
On March 23, Roseville police said they responded to a call from a Safeway employee on Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard. The employee reported that a man, who was with his two kids, looked to be intoxicated and went outside to look for his car keys.
While the father was outside, police said he left his 3- and 5-year-old children inside the store. Police said the employee who reported the dad took the kids into the back office of the store and waited for officers to arrive.
The man was arrested after Roseville police said his blood alcohol level was 0.424%.
Police did not release the identity of the man. | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/drunken-suspect-leaves-kids-in-roseville-store/ | 2022-04-15T21:23:03Z | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/drunken-suspect-leaves-kids-in-roseville-store/ | true | null |
Sauk Prairie High School’s drama team will perform “She Kills Monsters,” a play by Qui Nguyen at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 22-23 at River Art Center, 105 Ninth St., Prairie du Sac.
Tickets are $10 each, available online at riverartsinc.org or at the door at 6:30 p.m. prior to the performances.
The play is set in Athens, Ohio in 1995, and centers on two sisters: Agnes and Tilly Evans. Like a lot of siblings, Agnes and Tilly don’t always get along, and they lose the chance to do so when Tilly is killed in a car accident. While cleaning out Tilly’s locker at school, Agnes stumbles upon a “Dungeons and Dragons” module Tilly had left behind. In the made-up world of New Landia, Tilly is still very much alive. With the help of some of Tilly’s friends, Agnes begins to play the game, and in doing so rediscovers the sister she never had a chance to fully know. It’s a comedy-drama where the so-called “nerds” reign supreme, and where the monsters are not only goblins and dragons, but grief and separation.
People are also reading…
“Since it’s my first time directing the drama at Sauk Prairie High School, I wanted to do something a little bit different while also doing a show that might speak to relevant issues at the high school level. On the surface, “She Kills Monsters” looks like a somewhat-nerdy show about playing “Dungeons and Dragons,” but it’s also about love and loss and growing up and finding your own place in the world. Parts of it are really funny, and parts of it are downright touching. And, since it’s set in 1995, a lot of the fashion and music and other items in the show will look familiar to parents, as well.” first year SPHS drama coach Eric Brehm said. | https://www.wiscnews.com/announcements/community/sphs-drama-presents-she-kills-monsters-april-22-23/article_20c548da-7bac-542c-9165-bc5078d286cf.html | 2022-04-15T21:25:15Z | https://www.wiscnews.com/announcements/community/sphs-drama-presents-she-kills-monsters-april-22-23/article_20c548da-7bac-542c-9165-bc5078d286cf.html | false | 1 |
Flights out of ND airports resume after week-long blizzard
It’s a happy day for travelers as all flights in and out of the Bismarck Airport have resumed.
But, if you were scheduled to leave town earlier this week, today might be the day you’re playing catch-up to get to your destination.
People at the Bismarck Airport had one thing in common during the snow storm: waiting, waiting and more waiting.
Travelers were caught off guard by the sudden weather switch, leaving many, like Tresa Hendrix stranded.
“We’re actually moving to Alaska. I’m actually flying out to Fairbanks. Well, I was supposed to three days ago,” said Hendrix.
Hendrix drove to Bismarck from Dickinson to catch a flight but couldn’t beat the storm.
“It’s been pretty boring sitting in the hotel,” Hendrix said.
David Cera was in a similar boat. He says he had to get to the airport a day early to get to Chicago and had been waiting for hours because of delays.
“I was originally booked on a United flight tomorrow morning and that was already canceled,” David Cera from Chicago.
But, he says the wait wasn’t all bad.
“I mean, this made my day. I mean, I am on the news in Bismarck, North Dakota. What more could someone ask for,” said Cera.
But, others, like Mallory Knoll, lucked out.
“I actually have not had any delays or cancellations right now, which is good because I need to be in Omaha by tomorrow. I saw that the rest of the flights before me were delayed and canceled. So, I’m glad that mine was not,” said Knoll.
Although the wait has been rough, travelers are now able to get where they need to go.
Flights have resumed at Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport and Williston Basin International Airport as well.
But, most flights to and from Minot International Airport are canceled.

THG set for first major update since appointing heavyweight chairman Charles Allen in effort to win back trust of City
All eyes will be on beleaguered THG on Thursday as it unveils its final results for 2021 alongside an update on trading so far this year.
It will be the online retailer's first major update since appointing heavyweight chairman Charles Allen in an effort to win back the trust of the City.
Shares are hovering near all-time lows, 88 per cent shy of last year's near-800p peak, closing this week at 95.14p. THG, which floated as the Hut Group, will be hoping a robust outlook for 2022 can put some spark back into its once-adored stock.
The Manchester-based business has suffered a stunning fall from being one of Britain's most successful IPOs to a business dogged by corporate governance concerns. It has faced questions over boss Matt Moulding's vice-like grip on the business and the value of its tech arm, Ingenuity.
THG brought in Allen, the former boss of ITV, last month to shore up support among investors and turn around the dramatic share price decline.
Moulding promised the appointment meant the business would 'meet the highest standards of corporate governance'. Its update on Thursday follows guidance in January that sales for 2021 would be £2.2billion, a 37.9 per cent jump from a year earlier.
Retail analyst Nick Bubb said given its recent trading update, which gave detailed guidance for 2021's figures, there would be 'no surprises' in the results.
He said: 'The key will be the first quarter update and whether they back-track on their 22 per cent-25 per cent 2022 sales growth guidance, given the tough macro environment.' | https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/share-investing/article-10722539/THG-set-unveil-final-results-2021-update-2022.html | 2022-04-15T21:27:54Z | https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/share-investing/article-10722539/THG-set-unveil-final-results-2021-update-2022.html | false | 2 |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Nashville tourists could be on the hook for funding part of a new Titans stadium. Lawmakers are putting forth a plan that would allow Davidson County to increase the hotel tax to generate revenue for a new covered stadium. It’s just one piece of the puzzle to securing a multi-billion dollar state-of-the-art stadium.
The state is committing $500 million in bonds and the Tennessee Titans are willing to provide $750 million.
And now there’s another funding option state lawmakers are placing on the table. “One of the pieces of the pie is the sales tax for the hotel and motels, up to 1%,” said Rep. Bill Beck (D-Nashville).
That would mean tourists could fund $10 to $20 million a year for the stadium.
“That’s folks that are not from Tennessee paying for a hard infrastructure project here in Tennessee,” said House GOP leader, Rep. William Lamberth.
Currently, Nashville’s hotel tax is 6% but could be raised by locals to 7% if the stadium is a dome or has a retractable roof and seats 50,000 people.
“Hopefully, the SEC championship, the Final Four, WWE week, so many huge events, this will prosper everyone so we’re very excited,” Beck said.
But with all of the possible available funding on the table, it’s still short of the goal of $2 billion, which means the city of Nashville could be responsible for millions of additional dollars.

“We gotta be transparent and upfront about how this deal is going to work, who’s going to benefit, who’s going to pay what, and I think that’s going to be critical as we go forward,” said Sen. Jeff Yarbro (D-Nashville).
The Nashville City Council would be responsible for raising the hotel-motel tax and approving any additional funding for a new stadium. | https://www.wate.com/news/tourists-could-fund-percentage-of-a-new-titans-stadium-through-hotel-tax/ | 2022-04-15T21:33:08Z | https://www.wate.com/news/tourists-could-fund-percentage-of-a-new-titans-stadium-through-hotel-tax/ | true | 1 |

Amtrak seeks to take control of DC's Union Station
WASHINGTON - Amtrak is looking to seize control of D.C.'s Union Station, according to a report from the Washington Post.
READ MORE: Metro to increase service, discounted fares as more rail cars return
The report says Amtrak is using eminent domain to try to take control of the station. The company filed a legal complaint about the request earlier this week.
Right now, ownership of the station is broken up into two parts. The United States Department of Transportation owns the station building and parking, while Amtrak controls the platforms and tracks.

Amtrak officials say the move to take over the entire station, is necessary to complete long-planned projects on the station. These include concourse expansions and major repairs to tunnels that run under the station.

IT is the most famous image of the Falklands War – six Royal Marines yomping with the Union Jack proudly flying from their radio aerial.
Yet apart from flag bearer Pete Robinson, the other Marines have never been publicly identified — until now.
This week The Sun brought six of them together on Dartmoor, Devon, where they met again for the first time in 40 years.
We also reunited the heroes with commando photographer Pete Holdgate who took the iconic picture on June 14, 1982, the day Argentina surrendered.
Pete, now 71, recreated his famous “yomper” photo which came to symbolise Britain’s incredible battle to win back the tiny South Atlantic islands 8,000 miles from the UK.
Four decades ago they were fit young Royal Marines who were forced to yomp — slang for route-march — across nearly 80 miles of freezing terrain to help defeat Argentina’s occupying force of 10,000 troops.
Today, as they meet for the first time since the photo was taken, the years melt away.
After a series of back-breaking bear hugs and bootneck banter, each man proudly puts on his green beret.
They grab their Bergen backpacks — mercifully light compared to the 10st they weighed back then — and fall into the formation they were pictured in 40 years ago.
Flying the flag is Corporal Pete Robinson, 63, from Swindon, while ahead of him, snaking into the distance, are Marines Will Evans, 60, of Tamworth, Staffs, Alec Watt, 58, from Plymouth, Ray Houghton, John ‘Taff’ Davies and Colin Adams.
Most read in The Sun
Colin, 58, from Kew, West London, says: “None of us knew how iconic that shot would be, so taking it again has been a great opportunity.”
Photographer Pete says: “We haven’t seen each other since the Falklands War. A massive thank you to The Sun for getting us all together from the four corners of the country.”
The flag for our 2022 photo is a bit bigger than the one in 1982 because no one knows where the original went. The yompers hope a Sun reader may solve the mystery.
Will Evans found the original flag on the cruise ship SS Canberra on the way to the conflict and it was pressed into service to transport British troops to the islands.
Colin Adams had just celebrated his 18th birthday when Argentina invaded the Falklands on April 2. By May 21 Colin was in a landing craft motoring in the pitch dark towards Blue Beach with his comrades from 40 Commando.
He remembers: “Being the youngest in the troop, I found myself pushed to the front. Apparently it is military tradition that the youngest has the honour of being the first out.
Yomper reunited
Britain's heroes (L-R)
Marine John 'Taff' Davies: THE Welshman left the Marines in 1992 after a 20-year career. He has worked as a civil servant ever since.
Marine Colin Adams: ULSTER veteran Colin was selected for the SBS but was medically discharged in 1999. Suffering from PTSD, he worked as a diving instructor in Australia and met Argentine veterans in 2019. He is now married to Sally.
Marine Alec Watt: ALEC has since worked in retail fraud man-agement and as a seaweed farmer. Married to Amanda, 54, he has a son Theo, nine, and is stepdad to Miles, 23, and Lucy, 26.
Petty Officer Pete Holdgate: Commando photographer Pete Holdgate later became a local newspaper picture editor.
Marine Ray Houghton: THE veteran of Northern Ireland, Belize and Cyprus left the Marines in 1990. He and wife Serena have two children – nurse Nikki, 33, and policeman Karl, 31.
Corporal Pete Robinson: After the Falklands conflict Corporal Pete Robinson met Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. A bronze statue of him, named The Yomper, stands outside the Royal Marines museum in Portsmouth. He is now stud manager at a charity for Arab horses.
Marine Will Evans: THE dad of three framed the worn-out soles of the boots he yomped in on the epic Falklands march. After leaving the Marines in 1984, Will worked as a lorry driver before switching to advertising. He went on to become a geo-physical driller.
'Gone into a minefield'
“I sprinted out and off, straight up to my chest in ice-cold water.
“I made it to the beach in double quick time and took cover.
“A few hours after first light the first air raid hit us. Days of total chaos followed as wave after wave of Argentinian jets smashed us. I saw so many aircraft being shot down but they just kept coming.”
Four days after the landing, one of those attacks sank the RFA ship Atlantic Conveyor, which was carrying Chinook helicopters that would have transported the Marines across East Falkland. So, instead, they had to yomp.
Teamed up with 45 Commando, they became part of the plan to take the three high points around capital Stanley — Mount Longden, Mount Harriet and Two Sisters.
From San Carlos they were sent to Teal Inlet, where an Argentine attack had destroyed 45 Commando’s anti-tank missile launchers.
Yomp
What does 'Yomp' mean?
Origin unclear. Marines slang for a long distance march carrying full kit.
Possibly an acronym for your own marching pace.
Ray Houghton, 58, of South Shields, Tyne & Wear, says: “At first light the order came through to push on to Sapper Hill. On the way, we heard about the white flags in Stanley.
“We were in the middle of a minefield when it was confirmed so there wasn’t much celebrating.
“We made safe our weapons and someone got the flag out to tie to Pete’s radio mast.”
But Will’s flag, which was attached by black masking tape, later blew away.
Pete says: “Will scampered to get it and got a right telling off because he’d gone into a minefield.”
As the six Marines trudged towards Port Stanley, Petty Officer Pete Holdgate spotted them.
Pete, who later became a local newspaper picture editor, remembers: “There were mines were everywhere and men were stepping in each another’s footprints to stay safe.
“I followed him for nearly two hours before there was enough wind to unfurl the flag and get the shot. I never expected it to get the response it did.”
John Davies, 62, has the photo on the wall at his home in Evesham, Worcs — next to his green beret.
He says: “We knew when we signed up we’d face dangers. We are not heroes — we’re the lucky ones. The heroes are those who didn’t come home.” | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18277299/falklands-yompers-recreate-iconic-picture/ | 2022-04-15T21:37:09Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18277299/falklands-yompers-recreate-iconic-picture/ | false | 5 |

There are many things we do just because we’ve always done them. These things aren’t typically better or more efficient — they are just habits. Bending over to tie and untie shoes is a prime example. But that archaic way of putting on footwear is being challenged by Kizik. The company has a new, more efficient way to get dressed, and it is creating some very satisfied customers.
What are Kizik shoes?
Slip-on sneakers are not new or revolutionary. Vans introduced its Classic Slip-On in 1977. And traveling further back, Nils Tveranger’s Aurland shoe was introduced in the first decade of the 20th century. Kizik, however, is a newcomer to the hands-free shoe market. Though the company only launched in 2017, it quickly caught the attention of another, larger company: Nike. Nike invested in Kizik in 2019 and was rewarded with innovative technology designed to provide greater access to sports for all athletes. In the past few years, Kizik shoes have rapidly grown in popularity, proving to be more than a gimmick.
What makes Kizik shoes different?
Kizik shoes aren’t typical shoes. The company researched several materials that could be used to create a durable, flexible heel band for a long time before it discovered an ideal solution. Kizik shoes use an aerospace titanium that is strong, flexible and resilient. The material can hold up to over 40,000 flexes, which is roughly four years of daily wear. Additionally, the titanium band retains its beneficial characteristics in both hot and cold weather.
While the shoes didn’t start out as the most fashionable option, over the years, the company has created a wide variety of styles that are suitable for casual and athletic wear. The fabric is breathable and lightweight, making the shoes as comfortable as they are convenient.
Can Kizik shoes be washed?
While it would be convenient to be able to clean your Kizik shoes in the washing machine and toss them in the dryer afterward, the company does not recommend this. Instead, the cleaning instructions on Kizik’s website state: “Clean your shoes with [a] damp cloth, light soap, and water. Pat dry after cleaning.” While the insoles and laces can be removed and hand-washed, the shoes themselves should never be soaked. Also, no part of the shoe should ever be placed in a dryer.
Are Kizik shoes true to size?
Kizik’s official wording on shoe size is its “products are carefully tested to ensure they fit true to industry standard sizing.” However, if you read the details offered on each shoe style, you will find a disclaimer saying if you prefer more room, you should order your shoes a half-size larger. Additionally, it is wise to peruse the style-specific reviews to see if there is a sizing trend.
Who can benefit from wearing Kizik shoes?
In the general sense, anyone who prefers convenience can benefit from wearing Kizik shoes. They are well-made, comfortable, stylish, easy to don and reasonably priced. That is why these shoes are exploding in popularity. However, besides being a time-saver, Kizik shoes can benefit anyone with mobility issues — whether you are aging, pregnant or have any other condition that makes it difficult or impossible to put on shoes the traditional way. Kizik shoes can also be rewarding for children who are striving to be more independent.
What if I don’t like my Kizik shoes?
One consumer-friendly feature of Kizik shoes is that the company offers a 30-day guarantee. If you decide you dislike your Kizik shoes for any reason, and it has been less than 30 days since your order date, you may exchange or return them with no U.S. shipping or restocking fees. However, the one important stipulation is the shoes must be returned in their original condition: no scuffs, marks, signs of wear or any other damage. This means your trial-wearing period should not be done outside.

A college student told me that she loves her snake plant. Snake plant is an easy houseplant to grow. Other common names are bowstring hemp (fibrous leaves) and mother-in-law’s tongue (comparison to sharp margins of leaves).
This college student has moved from dorm rooms to apartments several times, and the plant has survived the light in different locations. It has also survived dry air, fluctuating temperatures and irregular watering.
Formerly Sansevieria, now Dracaena trifasciata, this succulent is a perennial in the Asparagaceae family from western tropical Africa. It has thick upright leaves (18 to 30 inches tall) banded with gray-green or yellow.
In a study by NASA on houseplants and air quality, snake plants reduced organic chemical pollutants.

Republicans who filed the original challenge took issue with three signatures submitted by Finkenauer’s campaign, two with missing dates and one with an incorrect date. The state Supreme Court found that missing or incorrect dates are not specific reasons listed to overturn a petition signature, according to state law. “In the end, we believe we must be guided by the legislature’s last word on the subject,” Iowa’s Supreme Court wrote in their opinion. Finkenauer is former congresswoman who lost her reelection bid in 2020. She is one of three Democratic candidates running against seven-term Republican Senator Chuck Grassley. “The Iowa Supreme Court’s unanimous decision today has affirmed that we are right on the law, and that we will be on the ballot for U.S. Senate. This is a moment for all advocates for democracy – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – to celebrate the enduring strength of our democratic process and a reminder to never take it for granted,” Finkenauer wrote in a statement. The Iowa secretary of state’s office had initially accepted Finkenauer’s signatures when they were submitted. After a challenge was filed in March, a three-person panel, consisting of Iowa’s secretary of state, state auditor and state attorney general voted 2 to 1 to overrule objections over the signatures and allow Finkenauer to remain on the ballot. But a state district court ruled on April 10 that the objections had standing and that the signatures shouldn’t have been counted. Iowa’s primary is scheduled for June 7, and overseas absentee ballots must be mailed to voters by April 23. | https://www.wsgw.com/democrat-abby-finkenauer-to-remain-on-ballot-for-u-s-senate-in-iowa/ | 2022-04-15T21:48:32Z | https://www.wsgw.com/democrat-abby-finkenauer-to-remain-on-ballot-for-u-s-senate-in-iowa/ | true | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials in several countries are investigating mysterious cases of severe liver disease in children, and they think it may be related to a kind of virus usually associated with colds.
The U.K. has been investigating at least 74 cases in which children came down with hepatitis, or liver inflammation, the World Health Organization said Friday. Three similar cases in Spain and a few in Ireland are being investigated, the WHO said.
Meanwhile, U.S. health officials say they are looking into nine similar cases. All were in Alabama, but officials say they are looking to see if there are more elsewhere.
“Given the increase in cases reported over the past one month and enhanced case search activities, more cases are likely to be reported in the coming days,” WHO officials said in a statement.
The U.S. children ranged in age from 1 to 6 years old, and two required liver transplants. The European cases are in a similar age range, though some have been older, WHO officials said.
The WHO first became aware of the unusual illnesses early this month, when they learned of 10 children in Scotland with liver problems. One got sick in January and the nine others in March. All became severely ill and were diagnosed with hepatitis after being taken to the hospital.
The liver processes nutrients, filters the blood and fights infections. The infections caused symptoms like jaundice, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Hepatitis can be life-threatening if left untreated.
Since then, British health officials have identified at least 64 more cases. None died, but six needed liver transplants, the WHO said Friday.
Laboratory testing has ruled out the hepatitis type A, B, C and E viruses that usually cause such illnesses. Officials say they are not aware of international travel or other factors that might have put the kids at risk.
But they noted there’s been a recent surge in the spread of adenoviruses.
There are dozens of adenoviruses, many of them associated with cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat and pink eye. But some versions can trigger other problems, including inflammation in the stomach and intestines.
Adenoviruses previously have been linked to hepatitis in children, but mostly in kids with weakened immune systems.
Some of the European children tested positive for adenovirus, and some tested positive for COVID-19. But more lab work is needed to explore any potential associations with specific viruses, the WHO said.
Alabama health officials say they have been looking into an increase in hepatitis in children since November. In each case, the child tested positive for adenovirus. Officials are exploring a link to one particular version — adenovirus 41 — that’s normally associated with gut inflammation.
None of the Alabama cases had any underlying health conditions that would seem to put them at risk for liver illness, health officials said.
“At this time adenovirus may be the cause for these, but investigators are still learning more — including ruling out the more common causes of hepatitis,” the CDC said in a statement.

Naperville named best place to raise a family
Naperville has been as the best city to raise a family in the U.S. in a recent report done by American Home Shield, a home warranty company.
The city was cited for its low crime rate and excellent educational opportunities. The company’s website also praises the city’s outdoor activities.
“Plan a swim day at Centennial Beach, a historic stone quarry, then stroll and bike along Riverwalk Park,” the report says. “For the younger kiddos, a trip to DuPage Children’s Museum will never disappoint.”
American Home Shield gave its lowest marks for both the cost of living and weather. In its report, it says Naperville is more expensive than other Illinois towns and gets hit with freezing Midwest winters.
Naperville is the only Illinois community to make the company’s top 10 list. Other U.S. cities lauded in the report were Ann Arbor, Michigan; The Woodlands, Texas; Seattle; and Scottsdale, Arizona.

Sportsman’s Park will be receiving 27 new native trees thanks to a group of volunteers from Naperville Bank and Trust, who will help plant them April 20 and May 2 as part of Naperville’s Earth Week celebration.
Sportsman’s Park, 735 S. West St., includes prairie and wetland restoration areas and two ponds. Most of the trees will be planted near the one-mile trail that goes through the natural areas, Naperville Park District officials said.
Seven species of trees that will provide nuts or seeds for wildlife and attract birds, butterflies and pollinators, officials said. Trees include pecan, shagbark hickory, tulip trees, Northern catalpa, common persimmon, sassafras and bald cypress. | https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-digest-st-0417-20220415-3q73ehw3r5b47oip56lc57i3be-story.html | 2022-04-15T21:49:13Z | https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-digest-st-0417-20220415-3q73ehw3r5b47oip56lc57i3be-story.html | false | 1 |

For more than 50 days, Ukraine's second largest city has been relentlessly shelled. Above ground, parts of the city are unlivable. But below ground, life is trying to find a way.

(iSeeCars) Used car prices have reached record highs with the average one- to five-year-old used car costing $34,852.
How much have used car prices risen in recent months? According to iSeeCars.com’s latest analysis of over 1.8 million used car sales in January, used car prices increased 36.9 percent, or $9,409, compared to the same period the previous year.
Average Used Car Price Increases by State
Are used car price increases consistent across the country? Here are the average used car price increases by state in ascending order:
- North Dakota is the state with the greatest used car price increase in 2022 compared to 2021 at 43.5 percent, which amounts to $11,413.
- Delaware has the smallest used car price increase at 28.8 percent, which amounts to $7,714.
Average Used Car Prices by State
Some states pay more than others for used cars. Here is a ranking of the average used car price by state by ascending order:
- Connecticut is the state with the lowest average used car price of $30,652.
- Montana is the state with the highest average used car price of $42,417.
What does this mean for consumers? The current state of the used car market presents a lucrative trade-in opportunity for consumers who have a used vehicle to sell. While consumers were previously advised to wait to purchase a used car if they were able to do so, the microchip shortage is expected to persist for most of 2022. The best way to avoid severe price hikes for the foreseeable future is to purchase a used vehicle that isn’t in very high demand, such as a sedan, and if possible, purchase it from a state or region with lower price increases. | https://www.wsav.com/automotive/this-is-the-average-price-of-a-used-car-in-each-state/ | 2022-04-15T21:59:01Z | https://www.wsav.com/automotive/this-is-the-average-price-of-a-used-car-in-each-state/ | false | 22 |

The B.C. SPCA is offering free shelter for pets of residents displaced by the Winters Hotel fire in Vancouver.
On Monday, (April 11), the hotel erupted in flames around 11 a.m. The fire has displaced 71 residents from the Winters Hotel and another 73 residents at the nearby Gastown Hotel have been temporarily moved.
“We can only imagine how difficult and upsetting this is for these residents, so we are here to help in any way we can,” says Jodi Dunlop, manager of the Vancouver SPCA. “Currently five cats and two kittens are receiving free emergency boarding, and we are in regular touch with the building officials to let them know this service is available for others.”
The B.C. SPCA is also providing emergency funding for pet food and supplies needed by other residents, and SPCA staff are donating men’s and women’s clothing for displaced residents.
Last year, the B.C. SPCA provided more than 12,000 nights of free emergency boarding for pets displaced by wildfires, floods and other disasters, as well as for individuals fleeing domestic violence or unable to care for their pet while in hospital.

Surging gasoline price boosts March US CPI
NEW YORK, April 12 (Reuters) - U.S. monthly consumer prices increased by the most in 16-1/2 years in March as Russia's war against Ukraine boosted the cost of gasoline to record highs, cementing the case for a 50 basis points interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve next month.
The consumer price index surged 1.2% last month, the biggest monthly gain since September 2005, the Labor Department said on Tuesday. The CPI advanced 0.8% in February.
In the 12 months through March, the CPI accelerated 8.5%. That was the largest year-on-year gain since December 1981 and followed a 7.9% jump in February. It was the sixth straight month of annual CPI readings north of 6%.
MARKET REACTION:
STOCKS: S&P e-mini futures extended gains were last up 1.09%, pointing to a firm open on Wall Street
MAZEN ISSA, SENIOR FX STRATEGIST, TD SECURITIES, NEW YORK
“There was a lot of focus on this print and it was being chalked up to be a very spicy print and that did not disappoint, especially the headline measure. I think the focus here will be that expectations for the core measure, albeit very high expectations, were underwhelmed.”
“Ultimately, I don’t really think that this inflation print really changes the price action in the FX space, because at the end of the day, we’re still sitting at 6.5% year-over-year core inflation and despite the slight moderation, it’s likely to remain elevated for the next several prints. And so, ultimately the forces that are justifying robust tightening by the Fed remain very much in place.”
THOMAS HAYES, CHAIRMAN, GREAT HILL CAPITAL, NEW YORK
“You're seeing futures are up because everyone came into this report expecting that inflation would be a lot higher than anticipated. And what we're actually seeing is that the core CPI, they came in slightly lower than expected, particularly month-on-month core CPI. And that's a very good thing because you really saw yields blowing out ahead of this event.”
“This is a very positive report for stocks and particularly for tech stocks, the long duration equities which have been left for dead as the 10-year yield spiked. This may be a short-term peak in yields and it may be an opportunity to get meaningful exposure into tech as it starts to finally get bid once again along with bonds.”
MICHAEL O’ROURKE, CHIEF MARKET STRATEGIST AT JONESTRADING, STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT
"The numbers were basically in line with expectations. This is expected to be the high print for year-over-year CPI for the cycle. When we get this month's reading and you know subsequent readings they should be lower levels than 8.5%."
"Considering the stock and bond sell-off coming into the number and the numbers are basically in line with expectations, we're getting a nice buy-the-news relief rally ... it should not change any expectations for monetary policy."
PETER CARDILLO, CHIEF MARKET ECONOMIST, SPARTAN CAPITAL SECURITIES, NEW YORK
“Top line was ugly but the core rate was lower than we expected. This is not good news, but yields are coming off their high indicative of another bloodbath in the debt market.”
“The bottom line is inflation is going to stick around for a while, but we could see it begin to reverse in the summer months, provided we get some cooling off in agricultural and energy prices.”
“(Stock) futures are gaining strength, the market anticipated these numbers yesterday. Stocks are likely to have a positive trading session in anticipation of the banking earnings.”
“It’s nearly written in the stone that we’ll see a 50-basis-point rate hike in May and another in June. The Fed is behind the curve.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Airport Authority confirmed Friday that a passenger was found with a loaded gun in his carry-on luggage.
The man was traveling from Jacksonville to LaGuardia Airport in New York City. TSA stopped him and found the gun in his suitcase. They say it was loaded and chambered. The man was not arrested but will face a fine from TSA.
This brings the total number of guns that TSA has intercepted at JAX to 20 this year, 204 guns have been seized in airports across the state.
Earlier this week, TSA sent out this reminder: No guns in carry-ons. Airline passengers can fly with firearms only in checked baggage. All firearms must be properly packed and declared at check-in, which means unloaded and in a locked, hard-sided case. Contact your airline for additional guidance. And it is your responsibility to know what the gun laws are on both sides of your trip because guns may not be legal to transport even in checked baggage in some jurisdictions. | https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2022/04/15/a-passenger-at-jacksonville-international-airport-found-with-a-loaded-gun-in-carry-on-luggage/ | 2022-04-15T22:20:08Z | https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2022/04/15/a-passenger-at-jacksonville-international-airport-found-with-a-loaded-gun-in-carry-on-luggage/ | true | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor homered from both sides of the plate to back another stingy start from newcomer Chris Bassitt, and the New York Mets routed the sloppy Arizona Diamondbacks 10-3 in their home opener Friday.
Starling Marte launched a three-run shot in his first home game with the Mets, and Robinson Canó connected for the first time since September 2020 after serving his second suspension for performance-enhancing drugs last season. The Mets homered four times in their home opener for the first time.
Pete Alonso lofted a pair of early sacrifice flies for New York (6-2), which has the most wins in the majors. Travis Jankowski, subbing in center field after two Mets outfielders went on the COVID-19 injured list, had three hits.
Acquired from Oakland in a trade last month, Bassitt (2-0) allowed one run and two hits in six innings. He received a warm ovation from the sellout crowd of 43,820 as he walked off the mound at the end of his Citi Field debut.
The All-Star right-hander struck out six and walked two. He fanned eight over six innings of three-hit ball last Saturday in his initial outing for the Mets, a 5-0 win at Washington.
New York has won 11 in a row against the Diamondbacks at Citi Field, outscoring Arizona 68-21.
Daulton Varsho socked his first homer of the season off Bassitt in the sixth.
Batting left-handed, Lindor chased Zach Davies (0-1) with a two-run drive into the second deck in right field that made it 5-0 in the fifth. The $341 million shortstop followed Marte's three-run homer in the eighth with a shot to left off reliever Caleb Smith.
It was Lindor's 14th career multi-homer game and the fourth time the switch-hitter has gone deep from both sides of the plate.
Lindor also walked twice, stole a base and scored three times. It was an auspicious start to 2022 at Citi Field after he was often booed last year during a miserable first season with the Mets.
Marte, who signed a $78 million, four-year contract as a free agent in November, also stole a base and scored three times. He finished with three hits.
After unveiling a long-awaited statue of Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver outside Citi Field in a pregame ceremony on Jackie Robinson Day around the majors, Bassitt and three Mets relievers limited the Diamondbacks to three hits in the team's 11th consecutive home victory over Arizona since the start of 2018.
New York starters are 6-0 this season, and the Mets improved to 40-21 in home openers — including 10-4 at Citi Field.

‘Seinfeld’ actress Liz Sheridan dies at 93
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Liz Sheridan, who played doting mom to Jerry Seinfeld on his hit sitcom, died early Friday. She was 93.
Sheridan died in her sleep from natural causes, five days after her April 10 birthday, said Amanda Hendon, her longtime representative and friend. She did not provide further details, including where Sheridan was living.
Her “Seinfeld” role as Helen was her best known but followed decades of work on stage and screen. In the 1970s, Sheridan appeared on Broadway in plays and musicals, the latter including “Happy End” with Meryl Streep and “Ballroom.”
“She was always very grateful to her fans and felt blessed to have enjoyed decades of work in the entertainment business,” including performing in her one-woman show, “Mrs. Seinfeld Sings,” Hendon said in a statement.
Another “Seinfeld” mom, Estelle Harris, died two weeks ago on April 2. Harris, who played hot-tempered parent to Jason Alexander’s George Costanza, also was 93.
Sheridan had guest roles on TV series including “Kojak,” “Cagney & Lacey” and “Family Ties,” and played the pesky neighbor Raquel Ochmonek on “ALF” from 1986 to 1990. She was on “Seinfeld” for the show’s 1990 to 1998 run, playing opposite Barney Martin as her husband, Morty.
“How could anyone not like him?” Helen said of her beloved Jerry.
The actor appeared in films including “Legal Eagles,” “Forget Paris” and “Wedding Bell Blues.” The 2010 TV movie “The Rooneys” was among her final credits.
In her book “Dizzy & Jimmy,” Sheridan recounted a romance in the early 1950s with a then-unknown James Dean. Sheridan, nicknamed Dizzy, was a young nightclub dancer in New York City when she met Dean. After they split, he became a star with films including “Rebel Without a Cause.” He died in a car crash in 1955, at age 24.
Born Elizabeth Ann Sheridan, the New York native was married to jazz musician William Dale Wales, who died in 2003. Sheridan is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, according to Hendon.

To twist a phrase from the noted philosopher Forrest Gump, “Ugly is as ugly does.”
Thursday night, the Rockies did not play the kind of crisp, clean baseball that earned them a 4-1 record to open the season. Instead, they committed crucial mistakes, starter Kyle Freeland stumbled, they hit 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position, and left 12 runners on base.
And so the Cubs beat the Rockies, 5-2, on Thursday night at Coors Field in front of 24,444 fans.
Colorado has started a season 5-1 just three times in franchise history: 2017, 2013 and 1995. The 2022 team won’t be joining that club.
The miscues started early with the catcher Elias Diaz being charged with a throwing error in the first inning when he tried to pick Jonathan Villar off third base. The ball glanced off Ryan McMahon’s glove and into left field, allowing Villar to scoot home.
The Rockies’ two-run fifth could have been more productive, but center fielder Yonathan Daza made a poor decision on the bases, failing to advance from second to third on Kris Bryant’s sharp single to left. Daza didn’t read the hit correctly and was forced out at third on a throw by Chicago left fielder Ian Happ.
Freeland left the mound bruised and battered after a tough first inning. Chicago ripped off five consecutive hits, and Freeland plunked Michael Hermosillo, in a three-run first inning.
Freeland rebounded, coaxing groundball outs from the Cubs and holding them scoreless from the second through the fifth innings.
But the Cubs ambushed the lefty in the sixth to boost their lead from 3-2 to 5-2. Frank Schwindel led off with a homer to right, Yan Gomes doubles, Hermosillo walked and Happ snaked an RBI single through the right side.
Freeland gave up nine hits, walked two and struck out one. After two starts he’s carrying a 10.00 ERA.
There were some highlights for Colorado. C.J. Cron continued to mash, going 2-for-4 and belting an RBI double in the fifth to score Bryant, who went 2-for-5 and is hitting .360. Daza, getting a chance for some playing time, rapped out two singles in four at-bats.
Also, the Rockies turned five double plays, tied for the second-most in a game in franchise history, and their most in a game since June 21, 2018, vs. the Mets.
But veteran Charlie Blackmon — 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts — is hitting .130 in the early going, and Brendan Rodgers — 0-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts — is hitting .087 with 10 strikeouts in 23 at-bats.
The Rockies and Cubs play the second game of their four-game series on Friday night at Coors. | https://www.greeleytribune.com/2022/04/14/rockies-cubs-series-opener-loss-kyle-freeland/ | 2022-04-15T22:31:09Z | https://www.greeleytribune.com/2022/04/14/rockies-cubs-series-opener-loss-kyle-freeland/ | false | 3 |

Delta Airlines pilots to picket at SeaTac with hopes of improving schedules
SEATAC, Wash. — Pilots from Delta Airlines are planning to picket at SeaTac International Airport on Tuesday.
The 90-minute picket is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., according to a release from the Air Line Pilots Association, International.
Delta responded to a KOMO request for comment with the following:
“This informational exercise by some of our off-duty pilots will not disrupt our operation for our customers. We continuously evaluate our staffing models and plan ahead so that we can recover quickly when unforeseen circumstances arise, and the resilience of the Delta people is unmatched in that regard. Pilot schedules remain in line with all requirements set by the FAA as well as those outlined in our pilot contract. All of our people, including our pilots, are working hard to restore our airline and deliver for our customers as we emerge from the pandemic. We are grateful for and proud of their efforts.”
This marks the fifth Delta hub to picket, sending a message to management that “Delta pilots are demanding improvements to schedules that impact employees and passengers alike,” according to the release.
A picket is also scheduled in Minneapolis on Thursday.
“Pilots are mission-oriented and want to deliver the best service in the industry, but we are also humans with limitations,” wrote captain Jason Ambrosi, chairman of the Delta Master Executive Council. “Not every day is blue skies. Weather disruptions and other operational issues can cause flight delays and cancellations. Our customers deserve better.”
A Delta competitor, Alaska Airlines, also saw pilots picketing recently to express ongoing frustration with management over stalled talks to produce a long-term contract.

(CNN) – UK and US health officials are investigating cases of acute hepatitis in children.
The World Health Organization has identified 74 cases of severe acute hepatitis (hepatitis) among children across the UK, the World Health Organization said. In a press release on Friday. Alabama health officials also said Friday that they are investigating increased hepatitis in young children.
In its statement, the World Health Organization said that laboratory tests “excluded hepatitis A, B, C and E (and D where applicable) viruses in these cases, while severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV) -2) and/or adenoviruses have been detected in several cases.”
“Although the potential role of adenovirus and/or SARS-CoV-2 in causing these cases is postulated, other infectious and non-infectious agents need to be thoroughly investigated to properly assess and manage the risks,” he said.
Other epidemiological risk factors, including recent international travel, have not been identified. “Overall, the etiology of current hepatitis cases is still unknown and is still under active investigation. Laboratory testing for additional infections, chemicals and toxins are being conducted for the identified cases,” the WHO said.
The World Health Organization warns that more cases are likely to be discovered before there are responses and corresponding control and prevention measures are taken.
The World Health Organization first identified 10 cases of the disease in previously healthy children aged 11 months to 5 years in central Scotland on 5 April. Additional investigations in the UK have identified a total of 74 cases, including the original 10, as of 8 April.
Six of the children underwent liver transplants, but as of April 11, no deaths had been reported. An epidemiologically linked case detected: a person with acute hepatitis in close contact with a confirmed case since January.
Fewer than five confirmed or probable cases have been reported in Ireland and three confirmed cases in Spain. These cases are investigated.
“We strongly encourage Member States to identify, investigate and report potential cases that meet the case definition,” the WHO said. “The World Health Organization is not recommending any restrictions on travel and/or trade with the United Kingdom, or any other country in which cases are being identified, based on the information currently available.”
The Alabama Department of Public Health said in a separate statement Friday that it is investigating an increase in hepatitis in young children.
These children presented to providers in various areas of Alabama with symptoms of gastrointestinal disease and varying degrees of liver injury, including liver failure. Subsequent analyzes revealed a possible link between this hepatitis and adenovirus 41,” he said.
To date, nine children under the age of 10 have been identified as positive for adenovirus and two have required liver transplantation. The affected children were from all over Alabama and no epidemiological link had been established between them. None of these children had any noticeable underlying health conditions.”
In a statement obtained by CNN, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it is aware and working with the Alabama Department of Public Health to investigate the nine cases of hepatitis in children, ages 1 to 6, who have also tested positive. adenovirus since October 2021.
They are also aware of recently reported cases in Europe, and have contacted their European counterparts to understand what they are learning. “Adenovirus has been confirmed in many, but not all, European cases,” said the CDC, which is working with state health departments across the United States to see if there are additional cases in the country.
“Currently, adenoviruses may be the culprit, but researchers are still learning more, including ruling out more common causes of hepatitis,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in its statement. “It is important to note that not all diseases are reported at the state or national level, and in these cases, the CDC uses various surveillance methods, including working closely with clinicians and health departments to identify and detect unusual patterns or clusters of diseases,” they added.
The US National Public Health Agency said it will share additional information as it becomes available.

BOSTON (AP) — Miguel Sanó hit a two-run homer, rookie Joe Ryan allowed one run over six innings, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Red Sox 8-4 Friday in Boston's home opener.
Luis Arraez and Gary Sánchez drove in two runs apiece for the Twins, who were outscored 14-2 by the Dodgers in their previous two games, both losses.
With Fenway Park at full capacity for the first time since 2019, Ryan (1-1) — the Twins' opening day starter who made four appearances last year but retained his rookie status — kept the Red Sox off balance with his pinpoint slider, striking out seven and walking none. He threw 60 of his 82 pitches for strikes and gave up a second-inning homer to Alex Verdugo.
Boston starter Nick Pivetta (0-2) lasted only two innings, allowing four runs on five hits with two walks and a pair of strikeouts. In his two starts this season, he’s surrendered nine hits, eight runs and three homers over 7 2/3 innings.
Trailing 6-1 in the eighth, Boston pulled within 6-4 when Kiké Hernández hit an RBI double off Jhoan Durant and Rafael Devers followed with a two-run homer. Durant settled down after that, striking out Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez.
The Twins scored two runs in the ninth against Matt Barnes.
Minnesota benefited from some shaky Boston defense to take the early lead.
Byron Buxton lifted a popup to shallow left in the first inning that Verdugo lost in the sun, allowing Buxton to slide safely into second for a double.
Buxton got his leg caught underneath him as he popped up and slammed his hand into the dirt in frustration. The oft-injured player was immediately pulled with what the team said was right knee soreness. Gordon replaced him and scored on a single by Arraez.
Sanó’s homer made it 3-0 in the second. Then, with two outs, Gordon singled to center and scored on a double by Arraez.
Verdugo’s second homer of the season got Boston on the board in the second.
The Twins got two more runs in the fifth when Sánchez dropped in a two-run single off reliever Hirokazu Sawamura.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: Left-hander Chris Sale is back in Boston as he continues to work his way back from a stress fracture in his rib cage that will leave him sidelined until at least June. He has resumed throwing long toss.
NO COMMENT
Bogaerts acknowledged he’d seen a New York Post report detailing a four-year, $90 million contract extension offer the club made to keep him from opting out of his six-year, $120 million deal after this season.
No agreement was reached and he said for now he’s referring any additional questions about the apparent stalemate to agent Scott Boras. Bogaerts’ current deal will pay him $20 million per season beginning in 2023 if he opts in. But he’s expected to seek a better offer on the open market.
“I’ve got a season coming up in front of me and I don’t want to put any of our teammates in that type of distraction,” Bogaerts said. “They don’t deserve it. We had time to get something done. It didn’t work out.”
UP NEXT
Twins: RHP Sonny Gray (0-0, 3.86 ERA) allowed two runs on four hits over 4 2/3 innings last week against Seattle. This will be his ninth start against Boston and first since 2018 when he was with the Yankees.
Red Sox: RHP Tanner Houck (0-0, 8.10) gave up three runs over 3 1/3 innings in his first start this season, last week against the Yankees.

Fertilizer company complains about railroad shipment limits
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A major fertilizer company says the limits Union Pacific is putting on rail traffic to clear up congestion will delay shipments that farmers need during the spring planting season.
CF Industries said Thursday that the railroad ordered it to cut its shipments nearly 20%. Union Pacific has said it is limiting rail traffic and hiring aggressively as part of a plan to improve service after grain and ethanol shippers complained about shortcomings.
Federal regulators have announced plans to hold a hearing later this month about the service problems along Union Pacific and other major U.S. railroads that have forced some grain mills and ethanol plants to curtail production while waiting on trains and left farmers without a place to sell their crops because grain elevators are having trouble shipping grain.
“The timing of this action by Union Pacific could not come at a worse time for farmers,” said CF Industries CEO Tony Will. “Not only will fertilizer be delayed by these shipping restrictions, but additional fertilizer needed to complete spring applications may be unable to reach farmers at all.
CF Industries said the limits will affect fertilizer deliveries to Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and California from its plants in Louisiana and Iowa. The company said it believes it is one of just 30 companies Union Pacific imposed restrictions on.
Union Pacific spokeswoman Kristen South said the measures the Omaha, Nebraska-based railroad is taking are designed to address problems in the supply chain that have clogged rail shipments. The railroad has also brought 100 locomotives out of storage and shifted roughly 80 crew members to high-demand locations.

Your official BOSSIP recap for Atlanta Season 3, Episode 5: Cancer Attack.
Another week, another recap of Atlanta Season 3 from FX and Donald Glover.
Last week’s episode will be hard to top, even though it doesn’t go with the show’s overall theme, at least for now. Reparations and what that could look like were the perfect start to last weekend. This time around, we catch back up with our favorite trio of Earn, Paper Boi, and Darius as they are getting ready for a performance in Budapest.
Paper Boi is supposed to be the opener for the show, but instead, receives all the love across the pond. This episode shows us how tricky mixing friends and business can be. While Earn is trying to be the best at his job, we can feel from Paper Boi it’s been all business and he hasn’t had time to connect with his friend.
The title of this episode comes into play when Paper Boi is scheduled to meet a young kid suffering from cancer. The episode pushes the show forward at a moderate pace while giving us laughs as the two hunt for Paper Boi’s lost phone after the show. During all of this, Vann is still MIA with no sign of return as Earn let her explore by herself a few episodes back.
Of course, we won’t spoil it all for you, so we will leave it right here so you can enjoy the rest the way it was intended.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Kyle Busch took a long pause to carefully choose how to describe visibility Friday in the first practice on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway.
“So far better, I guess?” Busch said. “But second half of that practice, you couldn’t see. You put one car in front of you and you can’t see. Two cars? You definitely can’t see. That’s going to be the toughest part, the dust.”
NASCAR brought the Cup Series back to the Tennessee dirt for a second consecutive year as Speedway Motorsports transformed its Bristol bullring for a Sunday night race. It will be the first time NASCAR races on Easter Sunday in more than 30 years in a scheduling choice by Fox Sports to attract more eyeballs.
The race will run at night after the first dirt Cup race since 1970 last year had mixed results. The 30,000 tons of red Tennessee clay used to cover the concrete made Bristol a dustbowl that had dangerously poor visibility when combined with the glare of the sun.
“We have to race at night,” said Joey Logano, who won the Bristol dirt race last year. “That was important. Because you just couldn’t even see the cars, and it was unsafe inside the car.”
Speedway Motorsports made changes to the track, as well, knocking 3 degrees of banking off to make it 16 degrees at the apron; the track gets progressively steeper closer to the wall. It was done to create multiple racing lines and prevent too much rubber grinding into one slick lane.
Reigning Cup champion Kyle Larson believes more could have been done, specifically the removal of windshields. He feels NASCAR is wasting its time running a pseudo-dirt race and not adopting all of the elements that make the formula a fan favorite.
“If we’re not going to take the windshields out, then why are we racing on dirt?” Larson said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “We just shouldn’t race on dirt if we’re not going to take the windshields out and actually have a dirt race with moisture in the track and being able to produce a real dirt race. I feel like we’re just wasting everybody’s time a little bit and not giving the fans and competitors what we all deserve.”
Larson and Austin Dillon last year were the two main drivers advising Bristol and NASCAR on track prep and both have argued the dirt can’t be watered down and made moist enough with the windshields because they’d become caked with mud. The dirt is instead watered just enough — and that creates the blinding dust the drivers complained about.
Scott Miller, NASCAR’s senior vice president of competition, told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio this week that racing without a windshield — which NASCAR tried during a test of the Next Gen car on dirt with driver Stewart Friesen — is too risky.
“The windshield is a critical safety component of our cars,” Miller said. “Highly developed laminate. Really resistant to intrusion of foreign objects. Until we can further vet the possibility of not using a windshield, (we’re going to) stick with the safety element of what we’ve been doing.”
Larson said NASCAR replaced the windshield at the test with chicken wire and the mud that slipped through allegedly stung Friesen’s hands as he drove.
“I would not have felt safe with what they had for testing,“ Larson said. “With them putting chicken wire in it, it probably didn’t look like they worked on it very long, like maybe last-minute. I feel like if they would’ve worked on it months ago, then they probably would’ve come up with something safer to put in to keep big things from coming in the cockpit.”
PRACTICE TIME
So many drivers have very little experience racing on dirt so they’ve entered the Truck Series race on Saturday to get extra seat time.
Among those racing Saturday is defending race winner Logano. He and Harrison Burton will both drive for David Gilliland Racing. Austin Dillon will drive for Young’s Motorsports and Chase Elliott will drive for Spire Motorsports, which won last week at Martinsville with William Byron.
RACE FORMAT
The field will be set by heat races and the lineups will be done in a random draw. Drivers will get points to be used to set their starting position Sunday based on where they finish in the heats on a 10-to-1 scale. There is an additional point available for every position improved from where they started the heat to where they finished. Ties in overall points will be broken by owner points.
NASCAR will use double-file restarts but have the option to go single-file for safety purposes. There will be no live pit stops and teams can only change tires and add fuel during the stage breaks, which will be six minutes.

Two years and one pandemic later, Birthday Candles, starring Debra Messing, finally makes its Broadway debut — and if it’s good old-fashioned life perspective you’re searching for, bring all the issues and some tissues, too.
Written by Noah Haidle, the production is a time-trip: Spanning 90 years in one woman’s life…and the highs and sometimes crushing lows that go along with the journey.
“It’s the most challenging thing I have ever been a part of bar-none,” the Will & Grace star tells ABC Audio. “Not ever leaving the stage, aging 90 years and having to gently transform throughout the play.”
From carefree teenager to midlife and the inevitable senior years, Messing’s character, Ernestine, marks her passage of time by celebrating a birthday every year — no matter what the circumstances are. And with every birthday come the inevitable questions.
“’Have I wasted my life?’ That is a question we ask ourselves at every stage of life,” Messing says. “That’s our greatest fear.”
Messing says the collective experience of the last few years makes the production “more relevant and more prescient” than ever. “It’s about connection,” she says. “We lost connection during the pandemic and connection is the thing that is most fragile in a family dynamic.”
Her co-star, Enrico Colantoni, echoes the sentiment. “My favorite line in the play is ‘notice what we have left.’ I don’t think that would have affected me the way it did if not for COVID,” he tells ABC Audio. “Little things are important now. Time spent with your family. I think that’s why it resonates with so many people now having gone through the two years. Everyone’s life is beautiful.”
Birthday Candles is now playing through May 29 at The American Airlines Theater.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Twitter said Friday that its board of directors has unanimously adopted a “poison pill” defense in response to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s proposal to buy the company for more than $43 billion and take it private.
The move would allow existing Twitter shareholders — except for Musk — to buy additional shares at a discount, thereby diluting Musk’s stake in the company and making it harder for him to corral a majority of shareholder votes in favor of the acquisition.
Twitter’s plan would take effect if Musk’s roughly 9% stake grows to 15% or more.
The poison pill injects another twist into a melodrama surrounding the possibility of the world’s richest person taking over a social media platform he described Thursday as the world’s “de facto town square.”
Twitter said its plan would reduce the likelihood that any one person can gain control of the company without either paying shareholders a premium or giving the board more time to evaluate an offer. Such defenses, formally called shareholder rights plans, are used to prevent the hostile takeover of a corporation by making any acquisition prohibitively expensive for the bidder.
Even if it discourages his takeover attempt, Musk could still take over the company by waging a “proxy fight” in which shareholders vote to retain or dismiss the company’s current directors. Twitter said its plan doesn’t prevent the board from negotiating or accepting an acquisition proposal if it’s in the company’s best interests.
“They’re gearing up for a battle here with Musk,” said Daniel Ives, an analyst for Wedbush Securities. “They also have to give themselves time to try to find another potential buyer.”
Musk has offered to buy the company outright for more than $43 billion, saying it “needs to be transformed as a private company” in order to build trust with its users and do better at serving what he calls the “societal imperative” of free speech.
“Having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization,” he said during an onstage interview at a TED event Thursday, just hours after his bid was announced.
With about 82 million Twitter followers, Musk is both a prolific user of the platform and a vocal critic of the measures it has taken to restrict accounts that spread misinformation or amplify violent rhetoric and hate speech. He said Thursday he’s opposed to permanent user bans — the most famous of which is Twitter’s suspension of former President Donald Trump’s account after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Musk revealed in recent regulatory filings that he’d been buying Twitter shares in almost daily batches starting Jan. 31, ending up with a stake of about 9%. Only Vanguard Group controls more Twitter shares. Alawsuit filed Tuesday in New York federal court alleged that Musk illegally delayed disclosing his stake in the social media company so he could buy more shares at lower prices.
After Musk announced his stake, Twitter quickly offered him a seat on its board on the condition that he would limit his purchases to no more than 14.9% of the company’s outstanding stock. But the company said five days later that Musk had declined.
Ives said Twitter’s poison pill path is a predictable defensive maneuver but could be seen as a “sign of weakness” for the company on Wall Street.
Musk could try to fight the measure in court, but “no court has overturned a poison pill in the last 30 years,” said Columbia University law professor John Coffee. Rallying shareholders to kick out the board might be more doable but also presents challenges to Musk, Coffee said.
Musk’s offer already faced resistance before Twitter threw its Friday counterpunch.
A Saudi prince who is among Twitter’s major shareholders scoffed at Musk’s offer in a Thursday tweet. Al Waleed bin Talal said he would reject Musk’s overtures because he didn’t believe $43 billion “comes close to the intrinsic value of Twitter, given its growth prospects.” The prince punctuated the tweet with another one from 2015 disclosing his Kingdom Company had raised its stake in Twitter to 5.2% — about half of what Musk now holds.
While Musk’s $54.20-per-share offer is nearly 40% greater than Twitter’s stock price before he disclosed his huge investment, it’s still far below the peak closing price of $77.63 reached less than 14 months ago. At that time, Twitter was valued at about $62 billion.
Musk responded to the prince with a tweet asking how many Twitter shares he holds and then made what may have been a veiled reference to the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi that was tied to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “What are the Kingdom’s views on journalistic freedom of speech?” Musk asked in a Thursday tweet.
In a sign that investors are skeptical about Musk’s offer, Twitter’s stock fell in the first day of trading after the takeover bid was announced Thursday — exactly the opposite of what an approving market reaction looks like. The stock markets were closed Friday for the Good Friday holiday. Twitter said it plans to disclose more details of its shareholder plan in an upcoming regulatory filing.
Another outspoken billionaire, Dallas Mavericks owner and tech investor Mark Cuban, weighed in on Twitter to share his theory that Musk is making his bid to goose the company’s stock price so he can sell his stake at a profit. Using a profane term, Cuban also postulated Musk is using the bid to torment the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock market regulatory agency that fined Musk $20 million in 2018 after he tweeted about a potential buyout of Tesla that never materialized.
In Thursday’s TED event, Musk made it clear he is still incensed with the SEC and cursed the regulators with a profanity.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — One man’s scandal catapulted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul into office. Will alleged misconduct by another man hurt her chances of holding on to the job?
Hochul’s previously smooth path to a Democratic primary win hit a major bump this week when her lieutenant governor, Brian Benjamin, resigned following his arrest in a federal corruption investigation.
One of Hochul’s first big decisions as governor was to appoint Benjamin, then a state senator, after she took over from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned last summer rather than face impeachment over sexual harassment allegations, which he has denied.
Her leading opponents in both the primary and general election pounced, saying Hochul’s pick of Benjamin at a time when he was already under scrutiny showed poor judgement.
“Either she’s consistently shamefully out of the loop, or shamefully enabling through her inaction, and either way it’s clear that unless we elect leadership outside of the old ways of Albany, these patterns of scandal and corruption will keep repeating,” said New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who is running against Hochul for the Democratic nomination.
U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Long Island Democrat also trying to beat Hochul, piled on, saying her pick of Benjamin was part of a pattern of bad choices, which he said included cutting a deal that will give her hometown Buffalo Bills more than $1.1 billion to build and operate a new stadium.
“Hochul has fostered a culture of continued corruption with months of fundraising from pay to play insiders and people doing business with the state, and secretive budget deals that resulted in the billion dollar Bills stadium and little else,” Suozzi tweeted.
Hochul, though, hasn’t appeared to lose support from top allies.
News of Benjamin’s arrest and resignation was nearly lost in the noise of a mass shooting on a subway train in New York City.
Hochul raced into town to attend a police news conference about the attack, where she ducked a question about Benjamin, then visited shooting victims in the hospital and rode the rails in a symbolic statement against fear.
“Right now Kathy Hochul has such a significant lead as far as polling and fundraising is concerned, I don’t think as of now the troubles will hurt her drastically for the June primary,” Fordham University political science professor Christina Greer said. “Obviously her opponents will raise questions and have raised questions about what she knew.”
Federal prosecutors say Benjamin accepted bribes, in the form of illegal campaign contributions, during a failed run for New York City comptroller.
An indictment said that in exchange for the illicit donations, he helped a nonprofit organization controlled by the donor get a $50,000 state grant.
Prosecutors said Benjamin also offered to help the donor, a real estate developer, get a zoning variance from the city in exchange for a $15,000 donation to a political committee. And they said he lied to state officials about the investigation when he was being considered for the lieutenant governor appointment.
Benjamin’s lawyers said there was “nothing inappropriate” about the grant and that their client’s actions were “laudable — not criminal.”
Hochul used a public radio interview Wednesday to defend her selection of Benjamin, and said the vetting process didn’t raise red flags.
“It was a surprise, it really was,” Hochul told WNYC host Brian Lehrer. “I made the best decision I could with the information I had at that time.”
Questions about Benjamin’s campaign committee and use of expense accounts had been the subject of scrutiny by journalists and state regulators prior to his selection as lieutenant governor, including stories in the Daily News about potential use of campaign funds for personal expenses, such as auto repairs and a party at a jazz club to celebrate his wedding.
Last week, Hochul had reiterated her support of Benjamin and described the probe into his campaign as “related to other people.”
Hochul — who had also said she wasn’t aware of any harassment in Cuomo’s administration until after the claims became public — will now have to thread a fine line with voters, Greer said.
While she needs to claim ignorance of any wrongdoing by Benjamin, “she doesn’t want to seem as though she’s inept, as if she doesn’t know what’s going on right underneath her,” Greer said.
Still, Hochul holds some big advantages. She raised nearly $22 million for her election campaign as of January, which dwarfed the $5.4 million raised by Suozzi and $222,000 raised by Williams.
One of the candidates expected to mount a serious challenge, Attorney General Letitia James, dropped out of the race quickly.
Just over half of Democratic voters said they would vote for Hochul in the June primary in a Siena College poll released in late March, compared with one-fourth of voters supporting Suozzi or Williams.
Democratic strategist Evan Stavisky said voters will likely ultimately judge Hochul based on their pocket books and her record.
“The governor being misled by someone who was then charged by the federal government for lying to her is probably not a salient point with voters,” Stavisky said.
If Democrats wind up sticking with Hochul in the primary, she would be the expected favorite over most potential Republican challengers in a heavily blue state.
One wildcard: Cuomo has acknowledged thinking about entering the race late to potentially get his old job back. He’s been making public appearances again lately, criticizing the state’s Democratic leaders for shifting too far to the left and potentially positioning himself for a run.
Cuomo still sits on millions of dollars in campaign funds he could use to run as an independent candidate, if he chooses.
Republican gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin of Long Island criticized Hochul Wednesday for having “zero criticism, condemnation or outrage” for Benjamin.
“She’s getting hit on both sides, that’s a very bad spot to be in,” said Republican strategist Alex DeGrasse.

SUNBURY — Samantha Delcamp will go to trial after a Northumberland County judge denied the Trevorton woman’s motion to dismiss the charge of being an accomplice to the murder of her daughter, 3-year-old Arabella Parker.
President Judge Charles Saylor denied the motion earlier this week and now Delcamp will appear May 9 for jury selection with the trial on the accomplice charge and felony counts of aggravated assault to begin on May 10.
Delcamp filed the motion through her attorney public defender Michael O’Donnell, who also requested to interview potential jurors individually instead of the normal group setting.
O’Donnell said the case has received a major amount of media attention.
Saylor denied that motion and said the practice in the county is to interview the entire panel but if any person knew about the case they would be questioned privately.
Delcamp is charged in the 2019 death of Arabella, who police said was beaten to death by Delcamp’s ex-boyfriend, Jahrid Burgess, 21, of Trevorton.
Burgess was found guilty of third-degree murder and was sentenced to 24 to 50 years on Jan. 4.
Northumberland County District Attorney Tony Matulewicz who is prosecuting the case, has repeatedly said he would not offer Delcamp any plea deals even though she testified on behalf of the commonwealth. Delcamp testified she saw Burgess throw Arabella, causing her injuries.
State trooper Brian Siebert, who charged both Delcamp and Burgess, said Delcamp knew about the abuse and did not report it to authorities.
Seibert also charged Burgess’ mother, Christy Willis, 53, of Sunbury, who was found guilty of lying to investigators about her knowledge of the incident.
Willis was sentenced to 17 months to 17 years in July. | https://www.dailyitem.com/news/judge-denies-delcamps-bid-to-drop-accomplice-to-murder-charge/article_ccdadd72-bcda-11ec-98f4-7b91756f2ac3.html | 2022-04-15T23:11:55Z | https://www.dailyitem.com/news/judge-denies-delcamps-bid-to-drop-accomplice-to-murder-charge/article_ccdadd72-bcda-11ec-98f4-7b91756f2ac3.html | true | 1 |
Caruso says he paid $1.6 million in income tax over five years, but won’t release returns
Rick Caruso has released information on the taxes that he and his businesses paid over the last five years but — unlike most other major candidates in the race for mayor — the billionaire businessman’s finances and tax rate remain a secret because of his unwillingness to release his full returns.
A letter from Caruso’s campaign reviewed by The Times says that the real estate developer paid more than $1.6 million in personal income taxes to the state and federal government over five years, or about $328,000 a year, on an undisclosed amount of income.
For the record:
3:49 p.m. April 15, 2022An earlier version of this article incorrectly attributed a quote about Rick Caruso’s taxes to City Atty. Mike Feuer. The quote came from John Shallman, Feuer’s campaign strategist.
Caruso declared that he and his wife, Tina, made $39.6 million in charitable contributions. The report does not specify which organizations received the money, though in the past Caruso’s family foundation has reported large donations to programs supporting disadvantaged children, minority scholars and medical research at USC, where he served on the board of trustees.
The developer of the Grove, Americana at Brand and other shopping centers declined to release any information about his income, so it remains unclear what share of his money goes to the state and federal government.
Rick Caruso joined rivals Karen Bass, Joe Buscaino, Kevin de Leon and Mike Feuer onstage for the first time in Tuesday’s Los Angeles mayoral debate.
He also said in the two-page tax report that he paid more than $2.3 million in business income taxes and stated that he paid taxes on his 216-foot yacht, Invictus. But the amount levied on the $100-million vessel, now for sale, also remains remains private.
The declarations from Caruso come a little more than three weeks after one of his rival’s for mayor, City Atty. Mike Feuer, challenged the businessman during a debate at USC to match Feuer by releasing five years of his tax returns. Debate moderator Elex Michaelson of Fox 11 News then challenged all five of the top candidates in the race to do the same.
Feuer was first to provide his tax forms, followed by U.S. Rep. Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) and City Councilman Joe Buscaino. City Councilman Kevin de León initially balked at providing his tax information, but on Friday released part of his returns for two years and provided details on his 2021 return.
De León said through a spokesman that a recent move prevented him from providing five years of returns, but that he planned to release most of the information by Tuesday.
The complete returns of the other three elected officials were unremarkable — showing that each declared relatively modest income outside of their salaries, which were already public information.
Feuer’s declared the highest income, up to $416,000, given the wages of his wife, state Court of Appeal Justice Gail Ruderman Feuer. The couple paid an average of $113,000 a year in state and federal taxes over the five years from 2017 to 2021, between 27% and 30% of their annual income.
Buscaino and his wife, Geralyn, who works for the Los Angeles Unified School District, paid between 17% and 23% of their income in taxes. Filing alone, Bass paid 22% to 23% to the government. De León’s returns showed he paid 26% in 2017 and 23%, in 2018; while figures released by his campaign indicated 30% of his income went to income taxes in 2021.

In the weeks that he waited for Caruso to release tax information, Feuer criticized the businessman for “an aversion to transparency,” comparing the first-time candidate to Donald Trump, who also refused to release his tax returns, both before and after his 2016 election as president.
After Caruso produced the letter about his taxes, Feuer campaign strategist John Shallman released a statement saying: “Rick Caruso thinks voters can be conned. Compared to more than 100 pages of tax returns Mike Feuer released, Caruso puts out a sticky note that says ‘screw you’ to every voter in Los Angeles. Until he releases his full returns, voters will assume that Cayman Islands Caruso is a tax dodger who spends millions more on TV ads than he does on his taxes.”
Caruso’s yacht is registered in the Cayman Islands, a well-known tax haven.
“Rick Caruso has proudly paid hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes and created businesses that have employed thousands of people,” Caruso spokesman Peter Ragone said in a statement.
In slap about an investigation that has bedeviled the city attorney’s office, Ragone added, “The irony of politicians who practice transparency only when compelled by the FBI or investigations isn’t lost on anyone in LA. It’s these kind of political games that contribute to out of control homelessnesses, rising crime and rampant corruption.”
Caruso, whose net worth was estimated by Forbes at $4.3 billion, has flooded the internet and TV airwaves with ads in his campaign for mayor, far outspending his opponents. A poll this week showed him pulling into a dead heat with Bass, who had been the early frontrunner in the race.
In his brief report and an accompanying letter from an accountant, vouching for the “mathematical accuracy” of Caruso’s summary, the candidate laid out a more expansive view of the payments he and his businesses have made.
His businesses have paid $84.3 million in property taxes, on top of another $5 million in “property and other taxes on personal assets, the report says. The report said some of that $5 million was tied to his ownership of the yacht, without saying how much.
Also listed in the report is a figure of more than $5.4 million, paid by the Caruso Companies in miscellaneous charges, including the city’s business and parking taxes, the California Use Tax and federal excise taxes.
The report contends that businesses and tenants located at Caruso’s various retail centers have paid more than half a billion dollars in hotel, sales and food and beverage taxes.

Dollow – “I’m 95 years old and I have never seen such drought. Animals died, people now… we seriously need support and people who can help us. We don’t even have something to cook for our families; we have almost nothing,” says Seynab Fiddle Cirowe, a grandmother residing in a camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) outside the town of Dollow, in Somalia’s south-west.
Her words, and the emotion they carry, are not lost on a group of veteran senior United Nations officials listening to her under a tree. They have come to Dollow to assess the humanitarian situation there and highlight the dire state in which millions of Somalis find themselves.
“It is part of our effort to bring this to the world’s attention – these people are looking at the threat of famine in the face… without resources we cannot scale up, we cannot help these people. I saw malnourished children who are struggling for breath, whose mothers are equally malnourished,” said the Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Adam Abdelmoula, after speaking with Ms. Cirowe.
Located in the southern Federal Member State of Jubaland, Dollow has been hard hit by Somalia’s current wave of drought. Three IDP camps have sprung up since November 2021 alone due to an influx of newly-arrived IDPs.
The UN has been working with district authorities and humanitarian partners to help those in need. The local response has been scaled up to target 180,000 people, primarily through cash transfers totalling around $1.6 million, and with the provision of 108,000 metric tons of food rations.
Grim outlook
The outlook remains grim, with more people being displaced and seeking aid in regional centres such as Dollow.
“The resources are not anywhere near enough. Everywhere you go, look at these people behind me – all of them are new arrivals – 400 families arrived in the past two weeks alone in this single IDP camp, and there are many around Dollow,” said Mr. Abdelmoula, who also serves as the UN Secretary-General’s Deputy Special Representative to Somalia and UN Resident Coordinator.
Mr. Abdelmoula was in Dollow, located on Somalia’s border with Ethiopia, with top officials from the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
While on the ground, they met the local district commissioner and members of Dollow’s drought committee. They later visited a local clinic run by Trocaire, a non-governmental organization, as well as a school for young IDPs. They also visited the Kaxareey IDP camp – home to some thousands of IDPs – and met with its community leaders, as well as Ms. Cirowe.
The humanitarian situation around Dollow is an example of how severe the impact of the drought has been. Somalia is facing the risk of famine as a combination of poor rainfall, skyrocketing food prices and huge funding shortfalls leaves almost 40 per cent of Somalis – around six million people – facing critical levels of food insecurity.
Despite limited resources, UN humanitarian agencies and partners have been hard at work. Collectively, they reached almost two million people with humanitarian assistance as of February 2022. But unless more donor funding is received, assistance cannot be maintained nor scaled up to meet growing needs.
Underfunded response
Somalia’s Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) for 2022 was launched late last year. It seeks close to $1.5 billion to cover the estimated costs of providing support for Somalis in need – but, so far, only 4.4 per cent of that amount has been received.
“Funding is everything – we have the expertise, we have people, we have the communities who will work with us, but what’s needed are the supplies, and in some locations additional staff and partners,” said UNICEF’S Representative a.i., Angela Kearney.
“You need Plumpy Nut [a peanut-based paste for the treatment of severe malnutrition], you need the chlorine tablets, you need to truck the water, you need all of those things,” Ms. Kearney continued. “We need recreation kits for children; they need to play; they need to have a childhood. Once there is funding, UNICEF, the Government and our partners can do so much more.”
Children under five are among the most vulnerable as the drought worsens, and access to food and milk is very scarce due to rising commodity prices and livestock losses. Around 1.4 million children face acute malnutrition through the end of this year, with around a quarter of them, or 330,000 children, facing severe acute malnutrition.
Ukraine impact
The war in Ukraine is having an impact on the situation in Somalia. Previously, up to 85 per cent of Somalia’s wheat imports came from Russia and Ukraine; that has stopped, leading to price increases of 160 per cent in just one month.
The conflict there, as well as other crises in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, Yemen and Afghanistan, has also drawn away attention.
“I know that the world is very much occupied by Ukraine, but human suffering is human suffering, no matter whether in Europe or Asia or Africa. And here we have to live up to our moral values, and [according to] our moral values, humanity matters – if we are not responding now and we are not increasing our response, those people will be heading to famine. And that is not acceptable,” said WFP’s Representative and Country Director, El-Khidir Daloum.
Geneva meeting
The United Nations plans to hold a high-level meeting in Geneva later this month to bring together international donors on the issue of more support for Somalia’s humanitarian needs.
“We cannot really emphasize enough the fact that the drought situation is getting worse – we are actually moving from a drought response now into a prevention of famine,” said OCHA’s Deputy Head of Office, Peter Ekayu.
“So it is getting more intense, it is getting more severe, is getting more acute,” he added. “And all of the indicators are that this situation will get more severe because we are expecting probably a fourth failed rainy season.”
Weather forecasts are predicting an average to below-average rainy season for Somalia. More than 80 per cent of the country has remained generally dry, and water and staple food prices have experienced dramatic price hikes.
In addition, current levels of food and water assistance are quickly being outpaced by the rapid increase in the size of the food insecure population, widening of household food consumption gaps, loss of livelihood assets, and worsening acute malnutrition levels.
If the funding gap is not urgently addressed, it will contribute to worse outcomes with a real risk of widespread famine. The last time such a humanitarian tragedy struck Somalia was in 2011, when famine conditions killed a quarter of a million people. | https://www.horndiplomat.com/2022/04/15/un-officials-visit-dollow-to-assess-humanitarian-impact-of-drought/ | 2022-04-15T23:15:35Z | https://www.horndiplomat.com/2022/04/15/un-officials-visit-dollow-to-assess-humanitarian-impact-of-drought/ | false | 1 |

One of the candidates expected to mount a serious challenge, Attorney General Letitia James, dropped out of the race quickly.
Just over half of Democratic voters said they would vote for Hochul in the June primary in a Siena College poll released in late March, compared with one-fourth of voters supporting Suozzi or Williams.
Democratic strategist Evan Stavisky said voters will likely ultimately judge Hochul based on their pocket books and her record.
"The governor being misled by someone who was then charged by the federal government for lying to her is probably not a salient point with voters," Stavisky said.
If Democrats wind up sticking with Hochul in the primary, she would be the expected favorite over most potential Republican challengers in a heavily blue state.
One wildcard: Cuomo has acknowledged thinking about entering the race late to potentially get his old job back. He's been making public appearances again lately, criticizing the state's Democratic leaders for shifting too far to the left and potentially positioning himself for a run.
Cuomo still sits on millions of dollars in campaign funds he could use to run as an independent candidate, if he chooses.
Republican gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin of Long Island criticized Hochul Wednesday for having "zero criticism, condemnation or outrage" for Benjamin.
"She's getting hit on both sides, that's a very bad spot to be in," said Republican strategist Alex DeGrasse.
Hochul hasn't named a new lieutenant governor. | https://auburnpub.com/news/local/gov-hochul-hits-election-hurdle-in-running-mates-arrest/article_24228784-7350-558b-b28d-fee6666ff5d4.html | 2022-04-15T23:24:28Z | https://auburnpub.com/news/local/gov-hochul-hits-election-hurdle-in-running-mates-arrest/article_24228784-7350-558b-b28d-fee6666ff5d4.html | true | 37 |

US takes 2-0 lead over Ukraine at Billie Jean King Cup
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Alison Riske and Jessica Pegula gave the United States a 2-0 lead over Ukraine on Friday in the best-of-five Billie Jean King Cup qualifier. Riske beat Dayana Yastremska 7-6 (18-16), 7-5, surviving an epic first set that lasted 1 hour, 27 minutes. The 34-point tiebreaker was the second-longest in Billie Jean Cup history, surpassed only by the 40-point tiebreaker in a doubles match when India’s Manisha Malhotra and Sania Mrza beat Uzbekistan’s Ivanna Israilova and Vlada Ekshibarova in the 2004 Asia/Oceanic Group 1 event, 21-19. Pegula beat Katarina Zavatska 6-2, 6-1 in the second match. | https://kesq.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/15/us-takes-2-0-lead-over-ukraine-at-billie-jean-king-cup/ | 2022-04-15T23:28:57Z | https://kesq.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/15/us-takes-2-0-lead-over-ukraine-at-billie-jean-king-cup/ | true | null |
Five people will share the $50,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the suspected subway shooter, the New York Police Department announced on Friday.
"Each of the five individuals performed actions that, under the established Crime Stoppers procedures, elevate them to be considered for receiving reward money," officials said in a statement.
"The plan is for the combined $50,000 reward – comprised of contributions from the Police Foundation, the MTA, and TWU Local 100 – to be split evenly among those identified individuals," they added.
Detectives used information from the tipsters to construct a timeline of events leading to the apprehension of Frank R. James on Wednesday, 30 hours after he allegedly fired 33 bullets into a subway train car, wounding 10 people.
The 62-year-old was surrounded by police in Manhattan's East Village, where he was reportedly found standing at a kiosk charging his phone.
Police have since explained they were already headed to the neighborhood after receiving a tip that James had been at a nearby McDonald's. Law enforcement officials have reportedly told various news outlets they believe James had called the tip line himself.
One call to the NYPD Crime Stoppers was reportedly someone who said: "I think you're looking for me. I'm seeing my picture all over the news, and I'll be around this McDonald's," according to ABC News.
The NYPD is not releasing the names of the people who will be splitting the money, however, several individuals have already publicly claimed credit. Most notably, Zack Tahhan, a 21-year-old security camera technician who gave reporters and passersby a breathless account of spotting the shooting suspect walking down the street.

"I thought, 'Oh my God, this is the guy, we need to get him.' He was walking down the street, I see the car of the police, I said, 'Yo, this is the guy!'" Tahhan recounted.
Francisco Puebla, the man who actually hired Tahhan to install the cameras on Wednesday, also recognized James as he walked down the block of his shop. He described feeling a panic wash over him when he saw the man. Puebla, told The New York Times that he flagged down a police officer driving past, telling him, "Police officer, I might be wrong but the guy that did the shooting is right in the middle of the block."
Meanwhile, portrait artists Lee Vasu, told Artnet, that he'd just left Cafe Mogador on St. Mark's Place, along with his mother, wife, and 8-month-old daughter before spotting James.
As they walked down First Avenue, he said he saw recognized James' face. "I was like: 'What the hell?'"
"I told my wife, 'The subway shooter is right behind us. Go fast. Push the baby. No time for argument. Go.'"
Once they were safe, he says he circled back toward James while studying a picture of the man on his phone, as he'd done in the days following the shooting.
"I was looking at him as if I was drawing him," he told the web site. "As an artist, you study every facial feature really well. I looked at him for quite a while and then half an hour later, there he was. You can't escape an artist in the East Village."

Windy weather returns Saturday bringing a high fire danger to the northwestern quarter of New Mexico. Quieter weather in store for Easter Sunday.
Breezy to windy conditions once again returned Friday afternoon to parts of New Mexico. This is bringing another very high fire danger and Red Flag Warning to eastern and south-central parts of the state. These winds will die down overnight as a cold front moves into eastern New Mexico. This front won’t drop temperatures much, but will bring a slight increase in moisture all the way up to the central mountain chain. Westerly winds Saturday afternoon will wash that moisture out and bring back drier air.
Saturday will feature a very high fire danger across the northwestern quarter of New Mexico from the southwestern mountains, to the Rio Grande Valley, north to the Colorado state line and through the northern mountains. Strong winds and very dry conditions will once again lead to that high fire danger across this part of the state. Strong winds will push east into early Sunday morning, bringing a windy start to Easter Sunday from Las Vegas to Ruidoso, but lighter winds will be in store for the afternoon.
Next week will bring a battle for moisture. South-southwesterly winds will try and bring in Gulf of Mexico moisture into New Mexico, but will once again be washed out with westerly winds. That moisture though will hang onto part of eastern New Mexico setting up a sharp dryline in that part of the state. This could bring an isolated storm chance by the middle of next week, but confidence is low. Meanwhile, temperatures will climb well-above average through all of next week. | https://www.krqe.com/weather/video-forecast/high-fire-danger-returns-again-saturday-afternoon/ | 2022-04-15T23:41:31Z | https://www.krqe.com/weather/video-forecast/high-fire-danger-returns-again-saturday-afternoon/ | false | 2 |
Seniors could help fill labour shortages
Older Australians are prepared to return to work and could be part of the solution to addressing critical labour shortages, advocates say.
A survey of about 4000 aged pensioners by National Seniors Australia shows 20 per cent would consider re-entering paid work after retirement.
Another 16 per cent already have.
Most respondents cited money as their motivation, describing their struggle to make ends meet on the pension.
National Seniors is lobbying the federal government to exempt employment income from the age pension means test.
Currently, every dollar earned over the $480 threshold results in a 50-cent reduction to the fortnightly pension.
National Seniors chief executive John McCallum says this creates a strong disincentive for older Australians.
"This traps pensioners at low quality of life, including too many in poverty," he said in a statement.
"The nation is crying out for workers in so many industries. Allowing pensioners to work would help these industries, the pensioners and the Australian economy."
About 14.2 per cent of Australians 65 and over are in the workforce compared to 24.7 per cent in New Zealand.
Another 450,000 seniors could be added to Australia's workforce if NZ's participation rate was replicated, the advocacy group says.
Respondents to the survey said they needed additional income to cover living expenses.
"We have been scammed out of our retirement savings and despite my disability, we need to find an income source," one said.
Another said their ex-partner had a gambling problem and they had no superannuation to fall back on.
Unemployment in Australia remained steady in March at four per cent. Both the Reserve Bank of Australia and Treasury are forecasting an unemployment rate of 3.75 per cent later this year.
Delivering the federal budget last month, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the jobless rate was heading towards a 50-year low.
Industry groups including the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry have urged the next federal government to use all available levers to address labour shortages. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10723301/Seniors-help-labour-shortages.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-15T23:41:50Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10723301/Seniors-help-labour-shortages.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 6 |
The city paused for a somber moment out of an otherwise joyous day to honor the victims and survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing nine years ago.
“It’s really emotional being here, and I know this moment has come through so much planning and so many feelings from families who are impacted and members of our community,” Mayor Michelle Wu said. “It’s really meaningful to see such a big crowd out to commemorate and honor the lives that were lost here, and also make sure that we always remember them and what we do moving forward.”
Gov. Charlie Baker and Wu laid wreaths at the sites of the bombings on Boylston Street, and observed a moment of silence for the victims. Three people died that day: Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu, and Krystle Campbell, while Officer Sean Collier and Officer Dennis Simmonds died in the aftermath of the event. Over two hundred others were injured in the attack, and 17 people lost limbs.
Baker and Wu also shook hands with survivors and family members of the attack.
“The families have done what I would describe as an extraordinary job trying to find a way to create some sort of positivity in all this,” Baker said of the folks directly impacted by the bombings. “The people who were injured, the fact that so many of them have found a way to fight their way back, and I think some of them are actually running tomorrow, (is) particularly meaningful.”
He said he expects “a roar from one end of the race to the other” for those injured in the terrorist attack who are running the marathon.
Baker also noted the significance of this year’s race being the first race back to its full scale since 2019, before the pandemic. The city held a largely virtual marathon this past October.
“This will be a big celebration,” Baker said. “It will be a celebration of the race, it will be a celebration of the way the city has come back from this, and the region has come back from this, and it will be a celebration of the people who were just honored here earlier with the mayor.”
Dave McGillivray, the race director of the Boston Marathon, feels the anniversary deeply every year, as his son was standing across the street from Martin Richard, who was just 8 when he died.
“To never forget is important, and to have these ceremonies I think is important so that their memory continues to live in our lives,” he said. “To have an event like this come back and come back at full strength, it just accentuates the moniker ‘Boston Strong.’”
Since 2015, the city has worked to rebrand the somber anniversary as “One Boston Day,” “an opportunity to celebrate the resiliency, generosity, and strength demonstrated by the people of Boston and those around the world in response to the tragedy of April 15th, 2013,” the event website states. Recommendations to commemorate the day include calling an older Bostonian in the neighborhood and donating blood with the Red Cross. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/04/15/charlie-baker-michelle-wu-honor-ninth-anniversary-of-boston-marathon-bombing-with-one-boston/ | 2022-04-15T23:42:40Z | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/04/15/charlie-baker-michelle-wu-honor-ninth-anniversary-of-boston-marathon-bombing-with-one-boston/ | false | 1 |

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A police officer from Tennessee who has been battling COVID-19 for months has reached a major milestone. He was brought to Florida as a last resort and received treatment that helped save his life.
Sean Finn took his first steps after spending four months fighting to survive at HCA Florida JFK Hospital, and fighting to overcome the effects of COVID-19.
"I mean it's a true miracle. There's no other word for it," said Lauren Finn, Sean's wife.
Lauren Finn is celebrating her birthday by her husband's side. She's been balancing time at the hospital and back home with their two young daughters in Tennessee.
"I feel good. I'm just trying to figure out how to get me home," said Sean Finn.
Sean is a police officer in Franklin, Tennessee. Both Sean and Lauren were not vaccinated and started feeling sick around Christmas. Lauren had mild symptoms, but Sean was admitted to the hospital on New Year's Day.
Seven days later, he was placed on a ventilator.
"On Jan. 14, they moved me from Tennessee and they flew me to JFK," Sean said.
He came here for life-saving treatment — a last resort. He was hooked up to an ECMO machine, essentially an artificial lung.
"It's similar to a dialysis machine, but instead of cleaning out toxins, the ECMO machine gives oxygen and takes out carbon dioxide," said Dr. Daniel Bali.
At one point, Lauren gathered family members, thinking the end could be near.
"We all had a care meeting and then it was that day he started opening his eyes," Lauren said.
Sean spent more than 80 days on the ECMO, and amazingly, he was taken off the machine this week.
"Everybody says this is the new normal and everything now. Well my new normal is what you're looking at, but it's been a blessing in disguise," Sean said.
This young couple is receiving support from family and their community as this virus continues to linger.
"The biggest thing I learned, it doesn't care if you're young, healthy, sick," Sean said.
Sean is hoping to be discharged soon, but he will still need rehab to build up his strength. Doctors said a lung transplant is still possible, but his progress is inspiring. | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/officer-with-covid-19-receives-life-saving-treatment-in-florida | 2022-04-15T23:54:37Z | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/officer-with-covid-19-receives-life-saving-treatment-in-florida | true | 11 |
CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers All-Star center Jarrett Allen was back in the starting lineup Friday for the play-in game against Atlanta after missing 19 games with a broken left finger.
Allen, who hasn't played since getting hurt March 6, was listed as questionable before being cleared and taking the court with his teammates.
The Cavs haven't been the same defensively without Allen, who clogs the middle and can block shots or clear rebounds.
The 7-footer was late arriving to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for the game after getting stuck in downtown traffic. The Cavs are trying to keep their season going as the Cleveland Guardians play their home opener — and first game since their name change — across the plaza at Progressive Field.
“I'm late,” Allen said as he walked out of the locker room without wearing his sneakers to get in a quick on-court workout before the opening tip.
Fans who were already in the arena gave Allen a huge cheer when he walked onto the floor.
Allen averaged 16.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in his second regular season for the Cavs, who acquired him in a trade last season from the Brooklyn Nets.
While Allen was out, coach J.B. Bickerstaff has tried numerous starting lineups and rotations trying to make up for his absence.

3-140 from 11.5 overs: Cummins’ struggles continue; Finch’s flop on debut at ninth IPL side
Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram hit half centuries to guide Sunrisers Hyderabad to a third successive IPL victory on Friday but skipper Kane Williamson said there is scope for improvement.
Chasing 176 for victory against Kolkata Knight Riders, Hyderabad rode on a third-wicket partnership of 94 between Tripathi (71) and Markram (68 not out) to achieve their target with 13 balls and seven wickets to spare in Mumbai.
Australian captains Pat Cummins (Test) and Aaron Finch (ODI and T20) both struggled, as the latter had an unfortunate and disappointing start to his career at the Knight Riders - his ninth IPL franchise.
Cummins took an early wicket, but finished with 1-40. His slow start to the IPL can be revealed by his ugly bowling numbers - 3-140 from three matches.

Earlier, Cummins fell for three in the 19th over while Finch, whose position in the Australian short-ball teams continues to be debated, managed just seven from five.
Finch, 35, went for a big shot down the ground but only managed an inside edge and was caught behind.
Tripathi set the tone for Hyderabad’s dominance with his 21-ball fifty and repay the team’s faith after he was bought for $1.13 million in the February auction of the Indian Premier League.
The uncapped Indian, who played for Kolkata last season, fell to Andre Russell after his 37-ball blitz including four fours and six sixes but Markram kept up the charge.
South Africa’s Markram finished off the chase with a four and two sixes as Sunrisers won three in a row after their opening two losses this season of the Twenty20 tournament.
Williamson said the performance was a “step up” from their previous two victories.
“To go and chase like we did and Rahul Tripathi playing an absolutely incredible knock and also Aiden Markram. Two amazing contributions for us in different roles but all in all a very good team performance,” Williamson said.
The New Zealand skipper added, “For us we always know these little things to improve on and the guys are working really hard. So far we’re seeing those signs of improvement.”
Earlier Nitish Rana, who made 54, and Russell, who hit an unbeaten 49, guided Kolkata to 175 for eight after being invited to bat first.
Kolkata struggled to build partnerships as Hyderabad pace bowlers T Natarajan and Umran Malik shared five wickets.
Finch did not last long in his first outing for Kolkata, caught behind for seven off Marco Jansen.
Natarajan then struck twice in one over to send back Venkatesh Iyer and Sunil Narine to push Kolkata on the back foot.
Wickets kept tumbling as Shreyas Iyer attempted to rebuild in his 28-run stay before Malik, who clocked speeds up to 150 kmph (93 mph) bowled the skipper with a yorker.
Rana hit back with Russell for company and reached his fifty in 32 balls. The duo added 39 runs for the sixth wicket and Russell kept up the tempo after Rana’s departure in the 18th over.
The West Indian all-rounder, nicknamed ‘Muscle’ Russell for his power-hitting, finished off the innings with two sixes and a four in his 25-ball knock but it was not enough in front of the Tripathi show.
“He was struck down in the last game with cramps but great to see him grab the game by the scruff of the neck and showed leadership in that top-order,” Hyderabad coach Tom Moody said of the man of the match Tripathi. | https://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/indian-premier-league/ipl-2022-sunrisers-hyderabad-smash-kolkata-knight-riders-pat-cummins-aaron-finch-video-highlights/news-story/1d6ba98dca6f11b242554908756640f9 | 2022-04-15T23:57:38Z | https://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/indian-premier-league/ipl-2022-sunrisers-hyderabad-smash-kolkata-knight-riders-pat-cummins-aaron-finch-video-highlights/news-story/1d6ba98dca6f11b242554908756640f9 | false | 1 |

Appeals court denies death row inmate request to reopen case
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An appellate court has denied a Tennessee death row inmate's request to reopen his case after unknown DNA was found.
The Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals ruled late Thursday that Oscar Smith, 71, "has not presented new scientific evidence establishing that he is actually innocent of the murders of the victims,” The Tennessean reported.
Smith's attorney, Amy Harwell, earlier Thursday sought a stay of execution from the Tennessee Supreme Court so the lower court could consider the request. The motion for a state of execution was still pending Friday afternoon.
Smith is scheduled to receive a lethal injection April 21. He was convicted of fatally stabbing and shooting his estranged wife, Judith Smith, and her sons, Jason and Chad Burnett, 13 and 16, at their Nashville home on Oct. 1, 1989. Smith has maintained that he is innocent.
Earlier this month, Smith asked the Davidson County Criminal Court to reopen his case after a new type of DNA analysis found the DNA of an unknown person on one of the murder weapons. The judge denied that request as well as a second request to reconsider, writing that the evidence of Smith’s guilt was extensive. Smith appealed.
Smith's attorneys argued in Thursday's motion that the Criminal Court judge incorrectly applied the law when it denied Smith’s request to reopen his case.
Smith previously sought to prove that fingerprint evidence used against him was unreliable. In Thursday’s motion, Smith’s attorneys argued the combination of a fingerprint and DNA from an unknown person on one of the murder weapons should be considered together as strong proof of his innocence.
In Thursday's opinion, Judge Timothy Easter detailed the evidence against Smith, including prior threats and a life insurance policy taken out by Smith for the three victims.
“Thus, the court concludes there is not a reasonable probability that the recently discovered DNA evidence would have prevented Petitioner’s prosecution or conviction,” Easter wrote. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/appeals-court-denies-death-row-233808376.html?src=rss | 2022-04-15T23:58:54Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/appeals-court-denies-death-row-233808376.html?src=rss | false | 13 |

TEXAS, USA — Gov. Greg Abbott announced the end of inspections on all commercial trucks coming into the U.S. border from Mexico. That’s after he got officials from parts of Mexico to agree to ramp up their border security. But not everyone thinks that was a good idea.
With hoards of trucks stuck waiting in long lines at the border, full of goods like produce, Democratic candidate for governor Beto O’Rourke said truck inspections made prices of supplies go up, since they couldn’t all get through.
"Inflation and supply chain problems that we already had in Texas, that we already had across the country, made much worse here by our governor," said O'Rourke.
But that financial pain was worth it, according to Gov. Abbott.
"A consequence of that is financial pain and that financial pain is necessary to get the public to insist that their government leaders such as the presidents of the two countries involved, take the action that is needed to solve this problem," he said.
The problem Gov. Abbott is referring to is immigration. But O’Rourke said inspections didn’t help.
"These were completely unnecessary inspections that also did not allow the inspectors that Greg Abbott put on these bridges to even look inside the cargo hold. So there was no ability to detect illegal drug trafficking or human smuggling," he said.
But Gov. Abbott says this is the way to go.
"There was a change in the strategy," said the governor. "That is to inspect 100% of all the vehicles. The answer is, yes, if there’s not a slowdown of illegal immigration, there will be a reimplementation of 100% inspection of all commercial vehicles."
For now, there won’t be full inspections of every commercial truck, just regular random inspections.

A judge ruled Friday that a man charged with killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket last year is still mentally incompetent to stand trial, further delaying court proceedings in the case.
But the judge also said that assessment could change soon.
Experts at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo have said there is a substantial probability that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 22, can be restored to competency within the “reasonable future” and remain competent by taking medications, Judge Ingrid Bakke said during a brief hearing. It is a prognosis she first mentioned in a March 11 scheduling order.
The prosecution of Alyssa has been on hold since December, when Bakke first ruled that he was mentally incompetent — unable to understand legal proceedings and work with his lawyers to defend himself.
Alissa is being treated at the state mental hospital and was not in court for Friday’s hearing. The judge set a July 21 hearing to again evaluate Alissa’s competency to stand trial.
Bakke's ruling came nearly a month after Boulder, the home of the University of Colorado, marked the first anniversary of the attackthat killed workers, customers and a police officer who rushed inside the store.
U.S. & World
Few details have been released about Alissa’s condition. Reports on his evaluations are not available to the public, but a court filing discussing one of the evaluations last year said he had been provisionally diagnosed with an unspecified mental health condition that limits his ability to “meaningfully converse with others.”
Competency is a different legal issue than a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, which involves whether someone’s mental health prevented them from understanding right from wrong at the time a crime was committed.
After the hearing, District Attorney Michael Dougherty said the average time to restore someone to competency is six months. He declined to speculate on when Alissa, who as been at the state hospital for four months, may be considered competent.
Robert Olds, the uncle of one of the 10 people killed, front-end manager Rikki Olds, said Alissa has more rights than the victims. He remains fairly hopeful Alissa will go on trial but does not want to anticipate what will happen next because the legal process has been moving slowly.
“Eventually it will happen, I hope,” he said of a trial. “There is always that outside chance it won’t happen.”
Investigators have not released any information about why they believe Alissa launched the attack or why he may have targeted the supermarket. He lived in the nearby suburb of Arvada, where authorities say he passed a background check to legally buy the Ruger AR-556 pistol he allegedly used six days before the shooting.
The March 22, 2021, attack at a King Soopers grocery shocked a state that has seen its share of mass shootings, including the 1999 Columbine High School massacre and the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting.
Boulder police Officer Eric Talley, a 51-year-old father of seven, was shot and killed while rushing into the store with an initial team of police officers. In addition to Rikki Olds, Denny Stong, Neven Stanisic, Tralona Bartkowiak, Teri Leiker, Suzanne Fountain, Kevin Mahoney, Lynn Murray and Jody Waters were killed inside and outside the supermarket.
The remodeled King Soopers reopened in February, with about half of those who worked there at the time of the shooting choosing to return. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/judge-colorado-shooting-suspect-incompetent-to-stand-trial/2941839/ | 2022-04-16T00:08:06Z | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/judge-colorado-shooting-suspect-incompetent-to-stand-trial/2941839/ | true | 27 |

Rescheduled Cornwall, Ont. broomball tournament welcomes athletes from across Canada
After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Juvenile Broomball Championships are finally underway in Cornwall, Ont.
For the Henry family, it runs in their blood.
"My father started in the 60s, he played with a stick that he cut off from the milk house, taped it up, and he went out and played broomball," said Ina Henry.
"He sent that love to all us. We're a family of 12, we all play broomball. For myself, we have six children and we all play," she added, pointing to her niece Taylor.
"She is fourth generation broomball player playing this year; very, very proud of all of my kids."
"I started at probably the age of 12," added Gail Henry. "Played all the way through and have been coaching since my oldest, who is 19, was 5."
Their team, the Eastern Valley Devils, who play and practice in nearby Finch, are co-hosting the event along with the Eastern Warriors.
"This is a great big deal. We're so excited to be here," Gail added. “We put a lot work into organizing this, we love the city of Cornwall and the Benson Centre for giving us these wonderful facilities here."
The original event was scheduled in 2020, but COVID-19 had other plans.
"They shut us down, we were ready to go," said co-chair of the event Christine deRepentigny. "Now it's basically like the Olympics, we're doing a 2020 version in 2022."
More than 320 athletes between 14 and 20 years old have converged on the dual pad arena, making up 16 boys and girls teams from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario.
"The Manitoba team were on a bus for 28 hours to get here, boys and girls, so 40 kids on a bus with bus driver and coaches. My hat goes off to them," said deRepentigny.
Broomball closely resembles hockey in play, using five players plus a goalie. The redline acts as offside, not the blue line, and the game consists of two 18-minute periods. Players wear special shoes instead of skates.
"They're kind of like a sponge material on the bottom, leather shoe. They have foot protection in them for the kids." deRepentigny said.
DeRepentigny has been around the sport for decades, playing as a goalie for 30 years. She says with the event cancelled for two years, some players could not compete in this event that qualified in 2020.
"I was coaching at that time, my daughter aged out. Her group, there was about nine of them, aging out at that time. They really wanted to play," deRepentigny said. "But what's really fun is that they've come back this year to volunteer and cheer on the younger team."
Cameron Muir from Chesterville has been playing for 18 years. He's coaching both a boys and girls team who are co-hosting.
"You see lots of competition on the ice but everyone else is nice and friendly off the ice," Muir said. "Everyone is having a good time, ready to have a good time playing and watching it's awesome."
Muir just finished playing in a tournament in Saskatoon, Sask. last week, adding the sport is very popular.
"I've been playing since I was 10 years old, I'm 28 now so 18 years. (I've) been coaching for six years now and still playing," he said. "My dad used to play and he got me into it as a child and I've loved it ever since."
"If you are good at hockey or bad at hockey, like a team atmosphere and you like to run hard, it's a great sport," Muir added. "If you're bad at skating, I really suggest trying broomball. If you like ball hockey, broomball is your sport."
This event wraps up the broomball season, with the next major tournament in the sport - the world championships - scheduled for the fall. The city of Kingston is in the running to host that event.
"That's a senior level competition so we're hopefully going to see quite a few countries come down for that," deRepentigny said.
For Gail Henry, she says it's a fun sport to be a part of, and encourages others to try it out if they get a chance.
"I think they just have to come out and play," she said. "It's just one of those sports when you watch, you're not sure, but if you actually put the shoes on and come out and play, almost everybody who tries it loves it and keeps going."
The tournament began on Wednesday and wraps up on Saturday where the 2020, or make that, 2022 champion, will be crowned.

The issue of low coal stocks at thermal power plants across a number of states is likely to continue till at least the end of April, said a senior government official.
Low coal inventories at thermal power plants have already led to load shedding in a number of states, including Punjab, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. A senior government official said the requirement for thermal power had hit 3.4 billion units (BU) per day against an estimate of 3.25-3.3 BU per day as a result of unexpectedly high demand for power, and lower supply from gas-based power plants due to a spike in prices. Coal-based thermal power meets about 76 per cent of the country’s power demand. On April 14, total electricity shortage in the country was about 74.9 million units with 1,215 MW of capacity shortage at peak demand. “There is plenty of availability of domestic coal, both from Coal India and captive mines,” the official said, adding the Railways were not geared to meet the current spike in demand for coal transportation.
Plants that rely on domestic coal have come under pressure as those utilising imported coal have reduced power supply to discoms amid high international prices.
“States such as Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, and Maharashtra that had PPAs with them (imported coal based plants) are now demanding more coal for their own thermal plants,” the official said.
Load shedding
Low coal inventories at thermal power plants have already led to load shedding in a number of states, including Punjab, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.
States have increasingly been looking to procure power from the energy exchanges at elevated rates to avoid load shedding. The average market clearing price of electricity on the Day Ahead Market at the India Energy Exchange was Rs 9.74 per unit (kilowatt-hour) on Friday, up from an average price of Rs 3.4 per unit in January. The government is currently in talks with such thermal power plants and discoms to restart power generation to meet demand. “I do expect the situation to remain grim for the next 15 days or so,” said the official on the ability of states to meet their power requirements, noting that lower demand for power in some areas in May could ease the pressure on coal supplies. The official said the move by the Centre to permit states to utilise linkage coal in plants closer to mines that can then transmit electricity, thereby reducing the need to transport coal, would be key to dealing with the issue of power supplies.
Despite increasing demand for power, the number of railway rakes being used to transport coal to powerhouses saw a decline in the first half of April. An average of 380.6 rakes of coal were transported to thermal power stations in the first two weeks of April as against an average of 408.9 rakes in March, according to data from the Indian Railways. Officials said the change could be a result of increasing shipments of coal to industry and more shipments to locations far from mines, which require higher turnaround time.

Twins’ Buxton leaves game with knee issue, to get MRI
BOSTON (AP) — Twins star Byron Buxton left Minnesota’s 8-4 win over the Boston Red Sox with a right knee injury and will get an MRI. The Platinum Glove-winning center fielder slid late into second base for a double after Boston misplayed his popup in the first inning. His left leg appeared to get caught underneath him while his right foot slammed into the bag. He slammed a hand into the dirt and was immediately pulled. He walked off under his own power. The 28-year-old has been among the game’s best players in recent years when healthy. Unfortunately for the Twins, that’s rarely been the case. | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/15/twins-buxton-leaves-game-with-knee-issue-to-get-mri/ | 2022-04-16T00:15:12Z | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/15/twins-buxton-leaves-game-with-knee-issue-to-get-mri/ | true | null |
(WXYZ) — COVID vaccine booster shots for young children may be on the horizon. Pfizer says it will soon ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to authorize the additional shot for kids ages five to eleven.
Pfizer and its partner BioNTech are basing their recommendation on data that show the extra dose will dramatically boost a child’s immune response.
In fact, their study on children ages 5 to 11 who received the third shot showed a six-fold increase in antibodies that fight the original coronavirus strain. And, a smaller group of the children had 36 times more antibodies against the omicron variant.
The children in the Pfizer study received the booster six months after their second vaccine dose. The company says there were no safety issues associated with the third dose given to the children.
Now if you recall, the FDA provided emergency authorization last October for children ages 5 through 11 to receive the first two doses of COVID vaccine. Since then, studies by the CDC and New York State Department of Health found the effectiveness of the vaccine in young children dropped substantially during the omicron surge. However, the two doses did protect them from getting seriously ill.
Pfizer says it will submit all of their data to the FDA in the coming days in hopes of receiving emergency authorization for healthy elementary-age children to get the booster. If the FDA approves it, an additional 28 million children would become eligible for third doses of the vaccine.
And, remember, as of now, the Pfizer vaccine is the only one authorized for use in young people under 18.
Dr. Nandi, what about older children? What is the recommendation for them in regard to a booster shot?
The COVID vaccine booster dose for children ages 12 and older already has been approved by federal regulators. And health experts are urging everyone in this age group to get the booster, because studies have shown three doses are necessary to protect adults and adolescents from omicron and the newest variants. The CDC recommends that you get a booster at least 5 months after completing the primary COVID-19 vaccination series.
And, one other reminder regarding vaccine boosters. As we reported earlier, people ages 50 and over and those with compromised immune systems are now eligible to receive asecond booster shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
The bottom line? Staying up to date with vaccinations remains the best way to keep COVID at bay.
This week on The Dr. Nandi Show, “Diet is a Four-Letter Word for Failure”. We all know it can be very confusing when it comes to losing weight as there are so many different types of new diets and fads cropping up all the time. But the key is to create a realistic plan that makes healthy eating a way of life. So, join Dr. Nandi this Sunday, April 17th at 1 pm. And you’ll meet real people who have found a way to permanently lose weight through a healthy lifestyle change. | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/covid-19-vaccine-boosters-may-be-near-for-young-children | 2022-04-16T00:18:50Z | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/covid-19-vaccine-boosters-may-be-near-for-young-children | false | 2 |
