Furry Friday: Fran
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — On this Furry Friday, KMV’s Layne Rabe was visited by Fran, a 1-year-old Siberian Husky from the Twin Falls Animal Shelter.
As a husky, Fran is the kind of dog that will need a lot of attention and exercise to keep from being bored.
Fran will need to go to a place that sees her as more than just a pet, preferably one that will give her a “job” to keep her occupied, according to Debbie Blackwood with the Animal Shelter.
She also advises that you spend a good amount of time with Fran before you adopt her that way you really get to know her and can evaluate if she’s really a good fit for your home.
To adopt Fran, you can call the Twin Falls Animal Shelter at 208-736-2299, or visit her in person at the Twin Falls Animal Shelter in Twin Falls.

Bidens paid 24.6% taxes on $610,702 earnings, returns show
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, earned $610,702 during their first year in the White House and paid $150,439 in federal income taxes. That was a tax rate of 24.6% for 2021, well over the average of around 14% for all Americans.
The totals were similar to the Bidens’ 2020 returns, when they reported earning $607,336 as he ran for president. They reported a federal income tax rate of 25.9% then.
The national median household income was $67,521 in 2020, according to U.S. Census data.
It’s the second straight year Biden has released his tax returns from the White House, reestablishing a tradition that presidents make their filings public after President Donald Trump declined to do so.
Both this year and last were steep drops from 2019 for the Bidens, when they earned nearly $1 million, primarily from book sales, speeches and their teaching positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia Community College.
Jill Biden still teaches in Virginia while serving as first lady. The returns show Biden earning $378,333 as president — his $400,000 annual salary minus the time before noon on Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2021 — and his wife receiving $67,116 for her teaching.
The couple gave $17,394 to 10 different charities in 2021. The largest gift was $5,000 to the Beau Biden Foundation, a nonprofit that works to combat child abuse named for their son, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015 at age 46.
The Bidens also released their 2021 Delaware income tax return and reported paying $30,765 in state income tax there. The first lady released a Virginia return showing she paid $2,721 in Virginia state income tax.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, released their 2021 tax filings, which showed them earning $1,655,563 in 2021 and paying $523,371 — a federal income tax rate of 31.6%. Harris and Emhoff also paid $120,517 in California income tax and $2,044 in New York income tax.
The second gentleman, who teaches at Georgetown Law School, paid $54,441 in District of Columbia income tax, and the couple contributed $22,100 to charity in 2021.
Biden campaigned on the transparency of his personal finances, releasing 22 years of tax filings ahead of the 2020 election. It was a direct challenge to Trump, who argued for years that an audit prevented him from releasing his taxes — though the IRS had mandated for four-plus decades that the tax returns of sitting presidents and vice presidents be audited.
The New York Times later obtained Trump’s tax records and reported that he paid just $750 in federal income taxes during his first year in the White House. IRS figures indicate that the average tax filer paid roughly $12,200 in 2017, about 16 times what the former president paid.
The returns were released on April 15, traditionally the deadline for paying federal taxes. This year the deadline has been extended to Monday, April 18.

LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "Horrorscope," the novel written in 2014 about a psychic who is extorted to provide predictions to the mafia, has been adapted to become a graphic novel. ESW Management is representing the rights.
The graphic novel, which was recently released, provides in graphic detail the story of a woman who has the ability to predict the future. While at a baseball game with a friend's son, she calls every play. Unfortunately, the head of the Nicolo mafia crime family was sitting behind her to witness her gift.
When it appears her powers begin to control "the boss," the underboss has her murdered, which causes a physical manifestation of the signs of the Zodiac, who then seek revenge for her murder.
The novel, and graphic novel are available at Amazon.com. A sequel in the works pins the Western Zodiac with the Chinese Zodiac's in an all-out war against one another.
"There is simply nothing like "Horrorscope," says Jesse Stenger, who manages the authors. "When you're watching constant remakes of movies over and over again, this is a refreshing and remarkable story line."
Kirkus Reviews gave the graphic novel a glowing review, which is rare for an independent group of writers.
In the Kirkus Review, they called "Horrorscope" "A distinctive horror tale with stark characters and radiant artwork."
With a majority of streaming productions being adapted from graphic novels, Stenger believes the next step is an obvious one.
"Horrorscope" will most definitely end up as a television series on one of the streaming media outlets, and although the silence was deafening when the novel itself came out, that all changed the moment it became a graphic novel and we are excited to see where we know it will end up," says Stenger.
The book is also available in audiobook format at online audio retailer Audible, an Amazon company.
"Interestingly, Narada Michael Walden, who produced the best-selling soundtrack of all time, Whitney Houston's "The Bodyguard," has already written a theme song for 'Horrorscope' and we haven't even begun producing yet. He just sees what we do."
"It's not a matter of if, it's a matter only of when "Horrorscope" is produced with real actors. It's an incredible story, and there is nothing to compare it with, which is rare these days. Everything is a repeat of something else. Not this," says Stenger.

SA Interview: Healthcare Investing With Fundamental Diagnosis
Summary
- Fundamental Diagnosis is an individual investor and former sell-side analyst in healthcare at several top investment banks.
- The risks of relying too much on the narrative for a stock, how a competitive analysis can serve as a source of idea gen and using a company’s investor presentation in the research process are topics discussed.
- Fundamental Diagnosis shares a long thesis on Organon.
Feature interview
Fundamental Diagnosis is an individual investor and former sell-side analyst in healthcare at several top investment banks. We discussed how to use DCFs as a valuation framework, why the downstream effects on inflation are more important than COVID as a catalyst for the market and how to better evaluate statements made by experts or other investors.
Seeking Alpha: Walk us through your investment decision making process. What area of the market do you focus on and what strategies do you employ?
Fundamental Diagnosis: I suppose one could call me a value investor. I am looking for companies where the discounted value of future cash flow forecasts materially exceeds the current value of the company in the market. I spend a lot of time on forecasting fundamentals. I try to keep some degree of perspective on the macro picture as well. While I personally invest across the entire market, my expertise is in healthcare, which is what I write about.
SA: To follow up, given how broad the healthcare sector is, do you focus on certain industries? If so, which ones and why? Are there more mispricings in certain industries or market cap sizes?
Fundamental Diagnosis: The only part of healthcare where I feel out of place is in small biotech, where stock prices moves are often more about clinical data, and real cash flows can be years away. I think it is possible to get mispricings across all cap sizes and industries. COVID attracted a lot of attention to the sector, and created some interesting opportunities, where new investors came into the sector without a good grasp on some of its idiosyncrasies.
SA: Can you discuss how an in-depth competitive analysis can reduce risk and/or serve as a source of idea gen? Can you give an example?
Fundamental Diagnosis: Really understanding all the competitors in a sector takes a ton of time, so many analysts cut that corner. But if you really dig into it, sometimes you can get an edge by realizing that competition has less teeth than it first may seem, or that competition is more robust than you first realized. An example of the former category is next gen sequencing, where I think the incumbent Illumina (ILMN) is much safer from new competitive threats than the hype around these smaller companies would suggest. An example in the latter category is generic drugs in the U.S., where competition over the past five years has gotten much more problematic for the big incumbents like Teva (TEVA) and Viatris (VTRS).
SA: How should investors use a company’s investor presentation in the research process? In general what mistakes do you see investors make here?
Fundamental Diagnosis: You have to realize that companies are not unbiased. They will present information that flatters them, and they don’t have an obligation to present all angles. Nonetheless, sometimes these documents contain information that isn’t in filings. My general recommendation is to compare what all the companies in the same industry put in their filings. If company A says the market is growing 5%, company B says 8%, and company C says 10%, try to understand why those differences exist. Are they serving different parts of the market? Are they referencing different sources? Does management legitimately have a differentiated view of the market?
SA: Can you discuss your valuation framework for investing in the healthcare sector? What are best practices for using DCF models?
Fundamental Diagnosis: I try to think of stocks the same way I think about bonds. What is the yield of the stock based on the cash flows that equity investors are entitled to. (The extra step in stocks is to evaluate whether management will deploy that capital prudently). DCFs are useful for determining the yield for a given forecast. DCFs are too sensitive to multiple variables to be overly precise about price targets. But it is possible to say “given this set of forecasts, the current stock price suggests a yield of about x%,” where x is the discount rate. Then you can compare that to treasuries, corporate bonds, or other stocks to make useful asset allocation decisions.
SA: Can you discuss how focusing on the overall narrative for a stock and/or industry can be beneficial or harmful? Can you give an example?
Fundamental Diagnosis: It’s really been striking how narrative can completely overtake fundamentals sometimes. Perhaps this is because as social animals, humans are just wired to grab on to a good story. In healthcare, you saw this with a stock like Moderna (MRNA), where the reality of cash flow forecasts just didn’t live up to the extreme hype at the height of COVID. In the broader market, you saw this with hypergrowth tech, where a narrative clearly won the day over actual cash flows until reality started setting in about a year ago. This kind of thing plays out all over the market. Electric vehicles won’t displace ICE fast enough to justify recent valuations. Fintech won’t be nearly as disruptive to legacy finance as valuations suggests. Oil and gas are not going away in a decade, as 2020 valuations suggested. It’s easy to invest in a narrative. It’s much harder to make real forecasts, but that’s how money is made.
SA: Since the start of the COVID crisis, investors have heard a lot of different opinions on the topic – how can they better evaluate statements being made so they can make a more informed decision (or even gain an edge when investing)? Can you give an example?
Fundamental Diagnosis: It was somewhat easier at the beginning of the crisis to spot obvious errors, such as the assumption in the mainstream media at the time that a vaccine would be a decade away. Everything is more complicated now, and I would argue that COVID isn’t a major catalyst for the market or even individual stocks at this point. The downstream effects on inflation are much more important now. My general advice is this: First, find trustworthy sources of information. In healthcare, I like Stat News, as one example, but I also look for obscure blogs written by wonkish experts. Second, try to compare the decision you make from the “outside view” with the decision from the “inside view.” These are terms superforecasters use to distinguish looking at the forest versus looking at the trees. I have been trying to figure out how opioid settlements are going to shake out for generics manufacturers. The outside view tells me that settlements will happen and that they will be manageable. The inside view tells me that things are a lot more complicated than they first appear, and maybe I shouldn’t be so confident in the outside view. I’m still not sure which will prevail, but I feel like this type of perspective gives me a solid handle on the situation.
SA: What’s one of your highest conviction ideas right now?
Fundamental Diagnosis: I’ve written about Organon (OGN) on Seeking Alpha as a high conviction idea. This hasn’t changed. The stock hasn’t moved much, despite fundamentals improving. This is a spin-off from Merck that is trading very cheaply. People are comping it to generics companies, but it has none of the legacy and legal issues that those companies face. I like this management team. I think they will be able to prudently build out a portfolio of women’s health products, and they are already executing on that strategy. I still think it’s a double over a multiple year horizon.

BE HONEST!! What Is That Wickedness You Have Done To An Animal Before?
Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse, animal neglect or animal cruelty, is the infliction by omission or by commission by humans of suffering or harm upon any animal.
In the United Kingdom, cruelty to animals is a criminal offence for which one may be jailed for up to 6 months.
In Nigeria, according to Section 495 of the Criminal Code (1990) prohibits acts of cruelty to animals. These include, under 495(1)(a), cruelly beating, kicking, over-loading, infuriating or terrifying an animal.
Most of us in one way or the other, have maltreated an animal.
Myself, I have once forced an egg back inside the Yansh of a chicken.🤣
What about you?

On day 50 of Russia’s invasion, Volodymyr Zelenskiy made his nightly address to the Ukrainian people. Vladimir Putin had confidently expected to seize Ukraine in five days, Zelenskiy said, standing outside his neo-classical administration building in central Kyiv. Putin was now “making friends with reality”, he added mordantly, hailing the bravery and staunchness of his citizens.
There was a reference to Russia’s flagship Moskva, which Ukraine says it audaciously sank last Wednesday with two lethal Neptune missiles. The warship has become a meme and symbol of national defiance, ever since Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island in the Black Sea told it in the first days of the conflict to “go and fuck yourself”.
Zelenskiy avoided the F word. He praised those who “have shown that Russian ships can” – dramatic pause – “go to the bottom of the sea”. He also paid tribute to the men and women who had driven Russian troops from the north, stalled them in the south and heroically defended Mariupol. As usual, he ended his speech with: “Slava Ukraini” – Glory to Ukraine.
On the battlefield, Ukraine’s fortunes have been mixed. Russia’s armed units have been forced to withdraw from the Kyiv region after failing to seize the capital. But they have made significant advances along the Sea of Azov, carving a land corridor from Crimea to separatist-controlled territory in the east, where a Russian offensive is imminent.
On the information front, however, Ukraine has offered a masterclass in message. Zelenskiy’s speeches to his people, and his addresses to foreign parliaments around the world, have galvanised international support and shored up morale at home. They have been gripping viewing, an unvarnished real-time video blog from Europe’s bloody frontline.
The writer of them is a 38-year-old former journalist and political analyst with fewer than 200 followers on Twitter. In an interview conducted via WhatsApp, Dmyro Lytvyn told the Observer the ideas behind the speeches were Zelenskiy’s: “The president always knows what he wants to say, and how he wants to say it.”
He added: “In the speeches, emotions are most important. And of course the president is author of emotions and the logic of the words.” Other world leaders “might learn how to do it”. In other words they might emulate Zelenskiy’s punchy combination of frankness and emotional power.
Lytvyn is part of the president’s inner team. He and his colleagues have been living and working at Bankova – Ukraine’s equivalent of the White House or Downing Street – since the first days of the invasion. A one-time columnist with the Levyy Bereg weekly news magazine, named after the left bank of the Dnipro River, Lytvyn was reluctant to say more. “I don’t usually comment on this topic,” he said.
Serhiy Leshchenko, another former journalist turned wartime Zelenskiy adviser, described Lytvyn as a literary and artistic assistant: “He collects the president’s ideas each day. He works as a mind or sense collector.” One day the theme might be the barbarism of Russian soldiers, the next Ukraine’s urgent need for defensive weapons.
Lytvyn has been in the thick of Ukrainian politics for sometime. He was a political analyst for Servant of the People, Zelenskiy’s political party, and a bitter opponent of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskiy’s predecessor as president. One former colleague said Lytvyn’s attacks on the country’s post-2014 leadership after the pro-European Maidan uprising had split Ukrainian society. “I’m not a fan. But he’s smart,” the colleague added.
Writing on Facebook at the beginning of the war, Lytvyn made several shrewd points about Putin. “His imagination is poor, so he always mirrors something … We have to understand that objective reality does not control Putin. The west’s sanctions will not affect him. He seeks isolation.” Putin’s implacable goal was to change the state and Ukraine’s “political reality”, he posted.
Lytvyn’s method certainly works. Polls show 95% of Ukrainians believe their country can repel Russia’s invasion, despite Kyiv’s inferiority in terms of tanks, troops and aviation. And 78% believe Ukraine is moving in the right direction. Zelenskiy’s personal ratings, depressed at the beginning of February, have skyrocketed.
Orysia Lutsevych, manager of the Ukraine forum at foreign policy thinktank Chatham House, said Zelenskiy’s previous career as an actor and comedian was key to his success. Viewers were used to seeing him in different roles on television and were therefore able to accept him as “commander-in-chief in a T-shirt” – a feat that eludes more conventional politicians.
“They know he can transform. He’s like metamorphosis Zelenskiy,” she said. “He’s a modern-day statesman who came from entertainment. He’s in his element. People around him understand the power of narrative during a war. After the horrors of Bucha, it’s important to have a galvanising story. The sinking of the Moskva is a powerful symbol.”
Lutsevych said Zelenskiy and his co-writers had created a sense of “historical mission”, which linked Ukraine’s current struggle with previous battles against Moscow. They were also well versed in pop culture, presenting the war as “light versus darkness”. In this Lord of the Rings-style drama, Russian soldiers were “orcs” and Putin an invisible Sauron.
Many of Zelenskiy’s senior advisers come from television, and worked with him at Kvartal-95, his production studio. Their attempts to win global support are helped by the clear-cut nature of Russia’s invasion. Ukraine is the victim. It is fighting for survival. This makes Zelenskiy the leader of what political scientist Ivan Krastev calls a “romantic constellation”.
Zelenskiy is at ease in front of a camera, whether speaking into his iPhone or addressing citizens from his bunker. When he was elected in 2019, he had few concrete political ideas. He tried to distinguish himself from his predecessors by giving lengthy press conferences. These days, his interactions are snappier. Lutsevych said his daily speeches “resonate well”.
They are also immaculately tailored to particular audiences. Addressing the House of Commons on day 13 of the invasion, Zelenskiy likened Ukraine’s struggle against Russia to Great Britain’s against Hitler. “We will fight until the end, at sea, in the air. We will continue fighting for our land, whatever the cost … We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets.”
For Brits, then, Zelenskiy invoked Churchill. For the Greek parliament it was Mariupol – home to many ethnic Greeks – and for the Finns, Molotov cocktails, hurled against Soviet invaders. Speaking to Australians, Zelenskiy cited MH17, the Malaysian Airlines plane shot down by Russia in 2014. Talking to the US Congress, he likened the bombardment of Ukraine to Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
Zelenskiy matches this lofty rhetoric with concrete requests. He has called for Ukraine to be given anti-aircraft systems, MiG fighter jets, tanks, and armoured vehicles. He wants further sanctions against Moscow, including a complete oil embargo. At times he can be reproving. Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, was told last week not to visit Kyiv because of his close ties to Russia.
Ihor Todorov, professor of international relations at Uzhhorod university in western Ukraine, said Zelenskiy could be emotional and undiplomatic. His early presidency often resembled Servant of the People, the hit Ukrainian TV sitcom where Zelenskiy played a history teacher who becomes president by accident. The war transformed Zelenskiy, as it did Stalin in 1941, he said.
“Zelenskiy has responded well to the situation,” he said. “A lot of people who didn’t vote for him two years ago recognise this.” He added that the president’s wife, Olena, had much to do with the passionate tone of his addresses, and that other people were also involved, including Yuri Kostyuk, one of the scriptwriters on Servant of the People.
So is Zelenskiy Ukraine’s answer to Churchill? No, said Tordorov: “To compare Zelenskiy to the cult of Winston is too much.” Lutsevych agreed. “Churchill was a lot more charismatic and ego-driven,” she said. “But Zelenskiy is quite effective.” | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/16/zelenskiy-ukraine-war-writers-journalists | 2022-04-16T13:05:15Z | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/16/zelenskiy-ukraine-war-writers-journalists | false | 1 |

WELLINGTON, Fla., April 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Freehold Communities, one of the nations' most vibrant and forward-looking developers of master-planned communities, today announced that it sold the remainder of Arden, its award-winning community situated in Palm Beach County. Lennar, one of the nation's leading homebuilders, will now complete the build out of the community.
Located near Wellington, FL, Arden is approved for more than 2,300 homes in one of Florida's first Agrihoods – in which fresh foods grown onsite are an integral component of an active lifestyle full of outdoor amenities such as trails, playgrounds, lakes, and pools.

The House passed a bill Friday that would ban race-based hair discrimination at work, federal programs and public accommodations.
The CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act, passed along party lines with a vote of 235-189. The bill now heads to the Senate for a vote.
"For too long, Black girls have been discriminated against and criminalized for the hair that grows on our heads and the way we move through and show up in this world," Rep. Ayanna Pressley said on the House floor Friday.
Congressional action on race-based hair discrimination comes after years of advocates pushing for policy change at the national level.
Several states have already implemented their own versions of the CROWN Act. On Thursday, Massachusetts became the latest state to pass a local ban on hair discrimination.
"Hair discrimination is rooted in systemic racism, and its purpose is to preserve white spaces," the NAACP says. "Policies that prohibit natural hairstyles, like afros, braids, bantu knots, and locs, have been used to justify the removal of Black children from classrooms, and Black adults from their employment."
A 2019 study conducted by the JOY Collective said Black women were 80% more likely to feel pressure to change their hairstyles in order to fit in at the office.
Federal protection is still needed, the NAACP's Legal Defense and Education Fund said. That extra mile would give Black people a legal safety net from consequences at school or work for their natural hair.
More than a decade in the making
A prior attempt at taking hair discrimination complaints to court failed.
In May 2010, Chastity C. Jones, who was hired to work as a customer service representative with Catastrophe Management Solutions in Alabama, lost her job offer after she refused a human resources request for Jones to cut her dreadlocks.
A lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against CMS ultimately failed. An Alabama district court ruled CMS's refusal to hire Jones because she wore dreadlocks didn't violate federal civil rights law.
A narrow Democratic majority in the Senate may not be enough to get the CROWN Act approved despite President Biden expressing strong support for the bill.
The White House said, "The President believes that no person should be denied the ability to obtain a job, succeed in school or the workplace, secure housing, or otherwise exercise their rights based on a hair texture or hairstyle."

4 Areas Lions Safety Tracy Walker Must Improve In
Tracy Walker is the greatest source of frustration on the Lions.
That is because while the Detroit safety has the most raw ability of any player currently on the roster, it has not translated to his play on the field consistently enough.
The Lions' Week 3 game last season vs. the Baltimore Ravens was a classic example. Walker was hardly seen on the television screen when Detroit was on defense, and was hardly seen making any plays.
Walker was nowhere to be found a vast majority of the time. He arrived late to provide help in pass coverage. It literally was like watching Detroit try to play defense with 10 men on the field.
For Walker’s sake, it would be best if Lions head coach Dan Campbell did not play the game film in front of the entire team.
In fact, it seems doubtful Campbell even watched that game film, given the fact that Walker was rewarded with a three-year, $25 million extension.
Detroit's Week 8 blowout loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles was not much better. Philadelphia running back Jordan Howard ran over Walker at the goal line. Walker flat-out missed a tackle on a second Howard touchdown run later that afternoon, too.
Then, in the Lions' 2021 season finale against Green Bay, Walker looked much better (especially in the second half). All of a sudden Walker was flying all around and making stops. Walker finished that game with a season-high 14 tackles.
Walker has the ability to be an impact defensive performer on a weekly basis. However, getting that high-level play out of him is the riddle.
Here are four things Walker must do to improve, headed into the 2022 season.

5 Late-Round Wide Receivers for Lions to Target in 2022 Draft
Read more on the four late-round wide receivers the Detroit Lions should target in the 2022 NFL Draft.
1.) Provide better help in the deep passing game
Walker was consistently a day late and a dollar short on deeper routes, and down the sidelines, in the aforementioned games. He did not look like he has the necessary speed and range to actually make a difference. If he lacks the necessary speed, he will need to play better angles or make better guesses.
2.) Attack the line of scrimmage on running plays
Walker either ended up by the pile after the running play was over, or reluctantly got involved once the back reached where he was way downfield. Walker showed toward the end of the Green Bay game that he is capable of flying in and making stops. That needs to be the new norm for him in 2022.
3.) Shed blocks better on runs
There were too many examples to count when blockers proved to be too much for Walker to handle. He has got to improve at using his hands to shed blocks, so he can be more involved in run support.
4.) Become a better tackler
Walker likes to hit more than he likes to wrap up and form-tackle. The problem with that is his hits are not always enough to get the job done.
There were other examples, too, when his body was too out of control and he missed tackles (see Packers tight end Josiah Deguara's 62-yard touchdown).
One of the most basic functions of playing safety is to be a dependable tackler. Walker has a lot of room to grow in this area. | https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/four-areas-lions-tracy-walker-must-improve-in | 2022-04-16T13:22:28Z | https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/four-areas-lions-tracy-walker-must-improve-in | true | 1 |

The Minnesota Twins will look to climb back to .500 and win their second straight when Sonny Gray takes the mound on Saturday in the second game of four against the Red Sox in Boston.
Gray, who took a no-decision after allowing two runs on four hits and striking out four in 4 2/3 innings on April 9 against the Seattle Mariners, will look to build upon Joe Ryan's outstanding start on Friday in the Twins' 8-4 win.
Ryan struck out seven over six innings of one-run, five-hit ball. It was the second longest of his seven career starts.
"It was six solid, and he pitched himself out of a little something when he needed to," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. "He was excellent. ... It jumpstarts you and keeps you going."
A first-year Twin, Gray has struggled in his career against Boston, carrying a 1-6 record and a 6.64 ERA in 42 career innings into his 10th appearance and ninth start.
He hasn't faced the Red Sox since a scoreless, two-inning relief appearance in 2018, when he pitched for the New York Yankees. However, Gray allowed six runs in each of his two other 2018 appearances against Boston, both starts.
The Friday game got off to an inauspicious start for the Twins when center fielder Byron Buxton exited due to right knee soreness after sliding into second base on a leadoff double.
Buxton, who dealt with hip and hand injuries last season, yelled in pain before immediately walking off the field. He was replaced by Nick Gordon, who scored in each of the first two innings.
Buxton went for an MRI exam, but his status wasn't updated Friday night.
Rafael Devers cut Boston's deficit to 6-4 with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, but the Twins responded by scoring twice in the top of the ninth.
"Those runs are enormous with the swings you get in this ballpark," Baldelli said. "It's noticeable here late in games, the Red Sox get stuff going and the (fans) get going with them. Our guys had some good at-bats late in the game."
Boston will hope for a strong season debut from Saturday starter Tanner Houck after Nick Pivetta was pulled after just two innings on Friday.
Two-hit days from Devers -- who is on a 12-game hit streak, the longest of his career -- and Jackie Bradley Jr. weren't enough for the Red Sox, who have lost the opening game in their first three series.
"(Pivetta's) stuff wasn't there," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "We felt like we were rested enough to get our (bullpen) innings in and stay in the game, and we did. When we got close, we walked too many people and they put the ball in play."
Houck took a no-decision in his start at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, allowing six hits and three runs while striking out three over 3 1/3 innings.
Houck's only career appearance against Minnesota came on Aug. 24, 2021. He struck out six and allowed three runs on eight hits over the first 4 2/3 frames of an eventual 11-9 win.
Houck's role is even greater with seven-time All-Star southpaw Chris Sale recovering from a right rib stress fracture.
Sale remained at the team's spring training complex in Fort Myers, Fla., as the regular season began last week, but he rejoined the team for the opening homestand and threw on flat ground early Friday.
"Now I'm at the part where I get to have some fun," Sale said. "We're in a good spot. The worst part of it is time. The build back up is going to take a little bit of time just because I've got to get some innings and get my arm stretched out. We're on the right path."

Boris Johnson and other British cabinet ministers have been placed on a Kremlin blacklist and banned from entering Russia in response to sanctions against the country, reports suggest.
The UK prime minister, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, Justice Secretary Dominic Raab and former PM Theresa May are believed to be among those on the list, according to the Russian news agency Tass.
Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement the move was due to the "unprecedented hostile actions of the British Government, expressed, in particular, in the imposition of sanctions against top officials" in Russia.
It comes as Russian troops restarted assaults on the Ukrainian capital after a brief reprieve.
Meanwhile in the UK, a former cabinet minister said the Homes for Ukraine scheme where households can take in those fleeing the war is "bumpy" and visas are taking too long to be processed.
Robert Jenrick, who was previously communities secretary, revealed his family are housing a Ukrainian mother and her two children.
He is among the first MPs to have managed to get a Ukrainian family to the UK, with Tory North Norfolk MP Duncan Baker announcing earlier this month that he had welcomed a mother and her son.
But Mr Jenrick said the process by which Maria, 40, and her two children, Bohdan, 15, and Khrystyna, 11, had got to the UK was "traumatic". Their father has stayed in Ukraine to fight in the war.
Environment Minister Victoria Prentis took in a 25-year-old Ukrainian refugee last month under a separate visitor visa scheme, while other MPs and ministers have said they have applied to host families.
Mr Jenrick told the Telegraph's Chopper's Politics podcast: "It has been a very difficult experience for them. Even the experience of coming here was traumatic.
"They spent seven hours queuing at the Polish border before they were able to finally leave Ukraine, catch the flight to the UK, and the experiences which they've had and their relatives have had in different parts of the country over the last two or three months are really harrowing."
On the process, he said: "Truth be told it has been a bumpy start to the scheme. It's taken too long to get visas, for us it took about three weeks to get all three visas approved."
Mr Jenrick said the scheme as it stands is "overly bureaucratic".
Former health secretary Matt Hancock said last week he is planning to take in seven Ukrainian refugees at his Suffolk home.
He said the visa process had been a "challenge".
Around 16,400 people had arrived in the UK under Ukraine visa schemes by Monday, according to British government figures.
About 13,200 had arrived under the Ukraine family scheme and 3,200 under the Homes for Ukraine sponsorship scheme, provisional data shows.
Some 94,700 applications have been received for both schemes and 56,500 visas had been granted by Thursday, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the Home Office said. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/politics/moscow-bans-uk-leader-johnson-from-russia-c-6471299 | 2022-04-16T13:29:03Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/politics/moscow-bans-uk-leader-johnson-from-russia-c-6471299 | true | 4 |

HELSINKI (AP) — Police in Sweden say they are preparing for new violent clashes following riots that erupted between demonstrators and counter-protesters in the central city of Orebro on Friday ahead of an anti-Islam far-right group’s plan to burn a Quran there.
Kim Hild, spokeswoman for police in southern Sweden said that the police would not revoke permission for a planned demonstration by the Danish right-wing Stram Kurs party in the southern town of Landskrona on Saturday because the threshold for doing that is very high in Sweden, which values free speech.
The right of the protesters “to demonstrate and speak out weighs enormously heavily and it takes an incredible amount for this to be ignored,” Hild told Swedish news agency TT.
Police said, however, that the rally would be moved to another undisclosed location, according to TT. Stram Kurs’ leader Rasmus Paludan was also planning a Quran burning in Landskrona, the agency said.
Hild said police were preparing for the demonstration and possible violence with extra resources “given what has happened in recent days” in the Nordic country.
Two days of riots in various Swedish cities and towns, triggered by Stram Kurs’ demonstration, culminated in the violent clashes in Orebro late Friday that left 12 police officers injured and four police vehicles set on fire.
Video footage and photos from chaotic scenes in Orebro showed burning police cars and protesters throwing stones and other objects at police officers in riot gear.
Clashes were reported the past few days also in Stockholm and in the cities of Linkoping and Norrkoping — all locations where Stram Kurs either planned or had demonstrations.
Paludan, a Danish lawyer who also holds Swedish citizenship, set up Stram Kurs, or “Hard Line” in 2017. The website of the party, which runs on an anti-immigration and anti-Islam agenda says “Stram Kurs is the most patriotic political party in Denmark.” | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Sweden-prepares-for-more-clashes-as-far-right-17085221.php | 2022-04-16T13:35:15Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Sweden-prepares-for-more-clashes-as-far-right-17085221.php | false | 24 |

As of one week ago, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, omicron variant BA.2 accounted for well over 80% of COVID-19 cases in the United States. In Pennsylvania’s region, that figure was 84.6%.
The subvariant, also called “stealth omicron,” has become the dominant strain across the country, and as a result, cases are back on the rise, more so than they were last week. On April 8, the seven-day rolling average had increased by about 30% over the previous two weeks, standing at 788 new cases per day. This Friday, the rate was up to 1,122 cases per day, an 88% hike over the last two weeks.
COVID cases in Pa.
Only Sunday and Monday had case increases less than 1,000 (518 and 484, respectively), which is par for the course considering slow weekend reporting. Other than that, Pennsylvania saw 1,000-plus case increases every day, and it’s clear now that the spread of COVID-19 is speeding up once again.
(Can’t see the chart? Click here.)
Pennsylvania now has 2,795,539 total cases of COVID-19, according to data from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and with daily increases now into the thousands and likely to continue upward, the 3-million-case mark is on the horizon over two years since Pennsylvania recorded its first case.
While cases are climbing, the rise isn’t expected to be anything like the surges from this past year. Even when comparing the early part of this BA.2 wave to last summer’s delta variant surge, the current rise is less sudden and severe. It’s not a perfect comparison, but to track each rise from a similar starting point, Pennsylvania’s seven-day case average was in the mid-500s on July 26 then and March 31 now. With the delta variant, the state took eight days to see its average climb past the 1,000-case mark. When Pennsylvania’s average came in at 1,055 cases per day on Thursday, that marked exactly two weeks for roughly the same level of case increase. That’s nearly double the amount of time. The current average is 1,122 cases per day.
Experts, including Dr. Jeffery Jahre of St. Luke’s University Health Network and Dr. Alex Benjamin of Lehigh Valley Health Network, have also said that they don’t expect this surge to be nearly as bad. Specifically, they’ve noted that the level of the state’s hospitalizations won’t see a similar jump.
Hospitalizations in Pa.
So far, that’s been mostly true. Pennsylvania reached 408 hospitalized COVID-19 patients on April 9, the lowest figure since July 27, right at the start of the delta variant surge. Today, Pennsylvania has 441 hospitalized patients, including 57 in the ICU and 39 on ventilators. In the same timeframe in late July, Pennsylvania’s hospitalizations had already increased into the 500s. Since April 1, the state’s number of patients has fluctuated between 400 and 450, mostly hovering in the mid-420s.
It’s a small sample size, but it does echo medical professionals’ sentiments that a rise in cases won’t necessarily be reflected as intensely in hospitalization levels.
(Can’t see the chart? Click here.)
Pa. COVID deaths
Of course, the last metric is one that, as of this point, can’t really be forecasted. Pennsylvania’s death toll is up to 44,474 since March of 2020, but lately the death rate has been steadily decreasing. Currently, the state is averaging 10 deaths per day, its lowest average since Aug. 16 of last year. That’s great news, but also forces some pause over the next week or so.
Death metrics have consistently followed case and hospitalization rates in movement by about two weeks, sometimes three. So as Pennsylvania’s case rate has been rising for about two weeks but the hospital levels have mostly fluctuated with a minor increase, it’s a little too soon to see how this surge will impact Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 mortality rate. That answer may not come for another couple of weeks.

Members of the union that represents building, grounds, laundry, dining and other service employees of Illinois State University plan to take a strike authorization vote on Friday.
Anders Lindall, a spokesperson for American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 1110, said the vote comes after 21 negotiating sessions between the two groups that have failed to produce a contract.
“Wages is the biggest issue; far too many employees are far too low paid,” said Lindall. “We really need to bring up the lowest-paid workers in this workforce.”
AFSCME Local 1110 members have worked without a contract since June, with provisions of the previous contract rolling over during the negotiating period, according to an ISU website.
ISU officials are not issuing direct statements on the matter, but have instead created webpages to track the “status of negotiations” and “frequently asked questions.”
The university plans to “continue meaningful discussions during… two additional negotiation sessions during the week of March 28,” according to its website.
Neither ISU nor the union are sharing wage proposals, with Lindall saying the union prefers to keep “bargaining at the bargaining table.” He added that some members of the 350-person union have quit their jobs to pursue other employment.
“There are other jobs out there that aren’t as thankless and that aren’t as tough and they pay just as much or more,” he said. “We’ve seen, lately, four people a month leaving this group; ISU has only been able to hire back an average of one (person) a month.”
Lindall said the shrinking ranks mean remaining employees “are doing two or three jobs at a time,” pointing to the outsourcing of workers to clear snow during February's snowstorm as a consequence of the university having too few grounds workers.
“If they (ISU) continue to have the wrong priorities, to be willing to put plenty of money into other parts of the university, but not into the workers who do the essential work behind the scenes that make ISU happen, employees are talking about what they're willing to do to secure the fair treatment, fair pay in respect that they deserve,” he said of Friday's strike authorization vote.
If that vote passes, it would give the union the ability to call a strike, although a 10-day notice to the university and the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board is required to legally conduct one.
The vote “would be the strongest signal to management that employees are serious and they’re not going to take this intransigence and unfairness any longer,” Lindall said. “I think dining services, building and grounds, (other) employees are… ready to stand up and demand fairness from ISU — and they need the whole community to stand with them.”
Via its website, the university said it “remains optimistic that the parties will reach agreement without the need for a strike.”

Real Estate Matters: Tenant forced to move after new property owner raises rent
Q: I was renting a townhome when my landlord sold the property. I was paying $1,200 per month as a single parent with one kid. The new owner told me that the Realtor said he could charge me more money for rent. So, he raised the rent on me because the Realtor told him he could.
I suppose the Realtor wanted the sale to go through in order to collect the commission. But the Realtor is hurting folks that can’t afford the rent! My job did not pay enough, so I moved out.
A: In today’s real estate market, it isn’t just housing prices that are rising; rents are rising, in some cases astronomically. That is making rents increasingly unaffordable for a larger number of Americans.
In 2020, a report from the Harvard Center for Joint Housing Studies found nearly one in four renters spent more than 50% of their income on housing in 2018. According to Stessa’s analysis of Census Bureau data, about 16% of renters are behind on their rent. The number is higher for those renters who have only a high school diploma.
In your case, the Realtor likely tried to excite the buyer by sharing her perspective of the rental market, and how the property might be marketed as an investment property.
But nothing she said should have impacted your lease and the rent you were paying (if you had a lease). Did you? The important thing here is to understand your rights as a tenant. And your lease agreement is the key to those.
When you decide to rent a property, the landlord should give you a lease document to sign. This document should outline what you’ll pay each month (or year) and for how long. Those are the two most important things that you should care about. Your lease should show that you had an agreement to pay $1,200 per month for one, two or three years (or whatever term you and the landlord agreed to).
Once you and the landlord sign that lease, you’re both bound by the terms of the agreement. The landlord shouldn’t be able to get out of the lease, and neither should you.
Having that executed lease agreement gives you protection and peace of mind that the rent you’ve agreed to pay will stay constant during the term of the agreement, even if the owner decides to sell the property. If the owner sells during the term of your lease, the new owner must abide by its terms. So, if you are one month into the lease and the owner sells, the new buyer must abide by the terms of the lease for the next 11 months, or until the term expires.
At the same time, you can’t sign a one-year lease agreement and move out after a month. You and your landlord have a contract that each can enforce against the other for the agreed upon length of the lease.
On the other hand, if you don’t have a lease, you might simply be a month-to-month tenant and either you or the landlord can notify the other on one month’s notice of your wish to terminate the lease. This might have been what happened to you.
Some municipalities have landlord-tenant ordinances that require landlords to give tenants more time before the landlord can terminate the lease. In other circumstances, landlords might be limited in the amount they can increase the rent each year. You didn’t mention what city you live in, but your city or village hall can tell you if they have a landlord-tenant ordinance and what it says. Before you rent, you should read up on the leasing ordinances in the town where you rent your home, as they might give you additional protection that your lease document might not.
Regarding the real estate agent sharing her opinion of the amount of rent the property could generate, well, that’s fair game. The seller is trying to justify the list price, and letting a prospective investor know what income the property could generate is part of what the agent is supposed to do. It is then up to the new owner to decide whether to raise the rent. And it’s up to you, the tenant, to negotiate as good a deal as you can, or move elsewhere.
We understand that when rents go up, lower income people get hurt more than millionaires. And moving is expensive, especially when you have kids and packing up means finding not only a new home but a new school and perhaps new babysitters, after school care, doctors and more.
What happened to you isn’t ideal. But that’s the way our real estate market works. We’re sorry you were impacted by the sale of your property and hope you were able to find a good alternative place to call home.

In the opening salvo of Robert Eggers’ new film The Northman, a Viking saga that blends meticulous historical accuracy with wildly hallucinogenic visions of the supernatural, the year is AD895. When it comes to bringing a historical epic to the screen, that’s a tall order: the more distant the past, the more difficult it is to get a sense of the world you are creating.
There are fewer reference points and images – often, film-makers and writers must rely as much on their imaginations as recorded fact. In the worst-case scenario, that can mean run-of-the-mill glossy settings with no regard for history: strangely clean-looking medieval peasants or curiously feminist ancient Egyptians; attempts to sanitise the past of its often unpleasant characteristics.
There can be an inherent laziness when it comes to capturing even well-documented epochs, simply because it is too long ago for anyone to quibble too much unless they are professional historians. But while cinema is never beholden to documentary-like accuracy, it should at least attempt to approximate something of the feel of a time, something of its truth.
Eggers is a writer-director who knows that. His past films – The Witch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019) – are also folkloric stories set in the esoteric past, though on a much smaller scale than The Northman. For him, part of the challenge of making the film was maintaining the weird specificity of his previous work with a much larger budget.
The result is a film that contains all the popcorn-munching spectacle of a violent blockbuster, but also the painstaking detail of pagan rituals, berserker raids and Norse mythology.
Historical epics have long been Hollywood’s bread and butter. In the 20s and 30s, films such as Cecil B DeMille’s The Sign of the Cross thrilled audiences, and more recently, ancient warrior tales such as Ridley Scott’s Gladiator or Mel Gibson’s brutal Apocalypto have sought to capture realism in their depiction of the past.
As early as the 1910s, films were set in Ancient Rome or Egypt, using thousands of extras and expensive, elaborate sets before the advent of CGI, to scratch the itch of viewers wishing to be taken to a long-ago past they could otherwise only imagine.
Viking films took a pre-eminent place among these epics throughout the 20th century, most famously with the stodgy 1958 film The Vikings, starring Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas as a slave and a Viking prince locked in a life-or-death struggle. In 2009, Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn made Valhalla Rising, an imaginative take on Norse mythology with a wild-eyed Mads Mikkelsen in the central role.
There is a continuing fascination with Viking culture, yet only recently has cinema really attempted to include the stranger, deeper traditions of religion, the genuine artisan materials used for costuming, and a reverence for both the severity and spirituality of this ancient culture.
Eggers and his team team are famously exacting in the details, looking at fragments from archaeological digs and new studies of Viking history, and fascinatingly re-staged Viking funerals and other religious rituals. The film offers a rare opportunity for audiences to truly be dropped in the historical past and to trust it isn’t simply gimmicky Hollywood fakery.
It allows the audience to immerse themselves in the beliefs, language and customs of ancient times without judgement or censorship of the less palatable parts. Sacrificing a man’s horse when he died in battle, for example, or the practice of taking women into sex slavery , might often be excised from a more Disneyfied version of history, but not here.
I hope The Northman’s box office proves audiences are hungry for films like this one; unique, inventive, gripping and wrapped up in a heady mixture of folklore and classical storytelling. The value of its authenticity reminds me of the old LP Hartley quote: the past really is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security Department said Friday it will temporarily shield people from deportation back to Cameroon, saying extreme violence between government forces and armed separatists in the African nation made it unsafe for them to return.
The department also cited increasing attacks by the Boko Haram extremist group as grounds for giving Cameroonians an 18-month reprieve from deportation if they were in the United States on Thursday. They may apply for work permits.
Homeland Security estimates 11,700 Cameroonians may be eligible.
“Extreme violence and the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure have led to economic instability, food insecurity, and several hundred thousand displaced Cameroonians without access to schools, hospitals, and other critical services,” the department said.
Cameroon becomes the 14th country eligible for Temporary Protected Status, a program created in 1990 for people from countries stricken by civil strife or natural disasters. Short-term reprieves are often extended in increments of up to 18 months, leading many to describe it as anything but temporary.
About 200,000 El Salvadorans have had temporary statussince 2001, after an earthquake hit the Central American country.
The Biden administration previously created temporary status for people from Myanmar, Haiti, Venezuela and Ukraine. The designation of Ukraine, which followed Russia’s invasion, fueled calls for Cameroon to get the same treatment, with some advocates for the African country claiming racial bias.
Large numbers of Cameroonians appeared at the U.S. border with Mexico in 2019 until Ecuador imposed travel restrictions, limiting their ability to reach the border by traveling over land.
Immigration advocates said the decision was welcome, if overdue.
“It’s a huge, huge, huge sense of relief,” said Haddy Gassama, policy and advocacy director for UndocuBlack. | https://phl17.com/news/ap-top-headlines/us-will-temporarily-shield-cameroonians-from-deportation/ | 2022-04-16T14:11:34Z | https://phl17.com/news/ap-top-headlines/us-will-temporarily-shield-cameroonians-from-deportation/ | false | 26 |
What are the bestselling scalp treatments on Sephora?
Nobody wants a dry or oily scalp, but unfortunately, both are common. While an oily scalp can make your hair look greasy, a dry one can cause itchiness and unsightly flaking.
Scalp treatments work by unclogging hair follicles, letting natural conditioning oils permeate the scalp and work their magic. Sephora has plenty of excellent scalp treatments, so whether you have minor flaking or a more severe problem, there’s a good chance you’ll find something that works for you.
Scalp treatment benefits
Resets sebum levels
If you wash your hair every day, it’s probably too often. Washing every day removes dirt and residue, but it also strips the scalp of natural oils. Natural oils such as sebum moisturize the scalp, so they’re necessary for maintaining healthy hair.
Washing too often causes an imbalance in the amount of sebum your scalp produces, so it creates excess oil, which can be just as damaging to your hair. Scalp treatments unclog pores and regulate sebum secretion, naturally moisturizing the scalp without drying it out as shampoo does.
Slows scalp aging and hair loss
As you age, you naturally become more and more prone to hair loss. Since hair exfoliation promotes blood circulation and strengthens hair follicles, you can help slow hair loss with an effective scalp treatment.
Flake removal and prevention
Other than an itchy head, the most common symptom associated with a dry scalp is flaking. You might notice flakes on your pillows or clothing, or see them fall right before your eyes when you scratch your head.
Flakes may be dandruff caused by a fungus, or they might just be dead skin cells. In any case, a scalp treatment shampoo or oil removes flakes and helps prevent them.
Psoriasis treatment
Scalp psoriasis takes the form of itchy or painful red patches of skin. If left untreated, they can bleed. However, an effective scalp treatment containing ingredients such as salicylic acid or corticosteroids can help alleviate them and prevent future breakouts.

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was defeated by seven-year-old ‘DID L’il Masters 5’ contestant Sanvi Negi in a backflip challenge.
She challenged Tiger to compete against her in a backflip challenge. Saanvi holds the World Record of doing the fastest backflips after she performed 52 backflips in 33 seconds.
Tiger mentioned: “It was exciting to see Sanvi perform the backflips. I personally believe it takes a lot of practice to be confident enough to perform continuous backflips and she already holds a record for the same at this young age. I did try competing with her, but I had no choice but to accept my defeat. She is truly amazing.”

After searching for several years across the West for a ranch to purchase, in 2007 Paul “Lew” Davies III discovered property along Rosebud Creek that captured his imagination.
It wasn’t the western ranch some might imagine with gleaming snow-capped mountains in the background. Instead, it offered “a traditional western appearance,” he said, along with “a bit of history.”
After enjoying the property for 15 years — along with the deer, pronghorn and upland bird hunting it offered — Davies has decided to sell the 18,000-acre spread. The asking price advertised by Hall and Hall realty for Davies’ Eagle Creek Ranch is $12.5 million.
“The ranch is almost exclusively native range,” Hall and Hall advertised, and the property includes a licensed shooting preserve.
Davies said he, his family and friends enjoyed ATVing, hiking and hunting on the ranch over the years.
People are also reading…
“It’s been a great place,” he said.
Eagle Creek Ranch is a portion of the historic Philbrick Ranch, founded by brothers Newell and Freeman Philbrick in 1891.
Sales
When Davies bought Eagle Creek Ranch in 2007, the sale price was about $5 million. That year, Montana land sales peaked before the nation dropped into a brief recession, Norman C. Wheeler & Associates, a Bozeman appraisal firm, noted in a March report. By 2013, prices were climbing again. Except for a drop and leveling off in 2015-16, the average dollar per acre has since been on a steady climb.
“We were fortunate to buy that property before Eastern Montana became as popular as it is now,” Davies said.
Eastern Montana properties 40 acres and larger have climbed on average from just shy of $1,200 an acre in 2020 to about $1,400 an acre by last year, according to Wheeler & Associates.
“Much of Eastern Montana has not seen the increases in property values experienced by other regions of the state,” the appraisal firm noted. “When considering sales involving properties 640 acres in size and greater, growth in values in 2020 and 2021 was modest at best.”
The average price per acre for Eastern Montana land 640 acres and larger climbed from just over $600 in 2018 to around $750 by 2021.
This is modest compared to prices in Western Montana where the average cost per acre has climbed from about $1,750 in 2017 to more than $2,500 by 2021.
Not hot?
Andy Rahn, of Montana Land Source, called 2021 the hottest year ever in the state for ranch sales, with almost 1.2 million acres sold. Last year, the state also saw the most expensive ranch sale in its history — twice. First the Climbing Arrow Ranch north of Bozeman sold after being listed for $136.25 million. Then in December media mogul Rupert Murdoch bought the Matador Cattle Co. ranch in southwest Montana that was listed for $200 million.
After last year’s record-setting transactions, this year is trending slower as properties for sale and sales of land are down about half compared to last year, according to Rahn’s statistics.
“Scarce by nature, large ranch sales tend to be infrequent,” wrote Wheeler & Associates. “Most are held in strong, multi-generational ownerships, or owned by outside investors.”
Yet down through the generations, the Philbrick descendants have gradually sold the vast holdings their pioneering ancestors once claimed.
This included in 2014, the 24,588 acre Diamond Ranch that was offered for $12.95 million. Genie May Garfield, the only child of Malcom and Edith May Philbrick, was the last descendant to own the property. Malcom was one of Freeman Philbrick’s three children.
Also in 2014, the 9,621-acre E V Ranch was advertised for $4.25 million. It too was once part of Freeman’s vast holdings. Its sale was advertised as being offered “for the first time in well over 100 years.” The land became another acquisition of Wilks Ranch Montana Ltd. One of the many properties in the state purchased by billionaire Texas brothers Dan and Farris Wilks.
History
Looking back, the expansion of the Philbrick “empire was due primarily to the resourceful, if not always reputable, acquisition of water,” according to a 1984 New York Times story. “Following the custom of the time, Philbrick had his hired hands file homestead claims on widely scattered plots of ground with springs and then bought the land from them. By owning water in remote and arid parts of the valley, he controlled the land in between by default.”
Freeman Philbrick moved to Montana from Maine in 1884, working on sheep ranches in the Forsyth area as hired help before striking out on his own. Three years later he “took up a squatter’s claim in Rosebud valley,” he wrote in “Progressive men of the state of Montana.” Slowly he expanded his holdings until by 1901 he owned 12,800 acres stretching all the way to Armells Creek. Across the “vast expanse of pasturage” he ran an average of 7,000 head of Merino sheep, along with 150 head of cattle.
His land holdings grew even more after homesteaders went bust and Freeman was able to purchase acreage at a discount, the Times stated. Eventually, he owned 80,000 deeded acres (125 sections) “one of the largest blocks of land then owned by any individual in Montana,” the newspaper reported.
Newell Freeman joined his brother in Montana in 1891. According to Montana State University’s Library archives, which has some of his paperwork, Newell lost his first sheep herd in a market crash before building up another outfit to 10,000 head of sheep and cattle with his partner Ernest Thomas.
But it was the fact that Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry traveled through in 1876, two days before their defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, that captured Davies’ imagination. The U.S. Cavalry also once had a supply cache on the land. An old ice house built in the 1800s still stands, Davies noted, a relic of a bygone era. | https://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/colstrip-area-ranch-for-sale-is-a-piece-of-montana-history/article_06dbd25d-05f5-519d-a3cc-c9589e385e8d.html | 2022-04-16T14:26:01Z | https://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/colstrip-area-ranch-for-sale-is-a-piece-of-montana-history/article_06dbd25d-05f5-519d-a3cc-c9589e385e8d.html | false | 2 |

Marcelo Bielsa devotees send heart-warming message to the former Leeds United boss via Argentinian newspaper advert
A group of Leeds United fans organised and funded a full-page article in an Argentinian newspaper to give thanks to the Whites' former head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
On Saturday, the words 'Thank you Marcelo' occupied a full page in La Capital, the biggest newspaper in Rosario, home to Bielsa's former club Newell's Old Boys.
Bielsa flew home to Argentina in March having been sacked by Leeds United following a string of poor results which left the Whites' hard-fought Premier League status at risk.
The decision to part ways with the 66-year-old, who was and remains a hero across West Yorkshire, was met by mixed reaction across the United fanbase.
Bielsa transformed a football club by achieving the Whites' long-awaited promotion to the top flight and bestowing his unique philosophy on a fanbase over his three-and-a-half year tenure.
The Argentine's revolutionary impact is commemorated by a number of murals across the city of Leeds, but one group of supporters wanted to go a step further to thank their beloved former coach.
Fans contacted a Newell's supporter, Nicolás Bloj, with the idea and funding for a significant tribute to be published in La Capital.
With no mention of the advert's authors, or the name 'Bielsa', the message simply expresses gratitude to the former United manager with the words, 'Thank you Marcelo'.
The message is accompanied with a brief explanation of what Bielsa did for the fans.
"We stood in the sun of August 2018 mesmerized for a football that we didn't know was possible," the text reads.
"And we felt something again. You reminded us that football can be beautiful, and that a team can be greater than the sum of its parts. Side before self.
"And you gave us much more than football. You led us through a pandemic and you brought us closer while we were apart.
"You showed us that integrity and decency matter, both in the good times and in the bad.
"You embraced our fears and turned our despair into hope, and our footballers in heroes. You improved us all.
"You restored our pride, gave us joy and created precious memories that will last a lifetime.
"And it was beautiful, Marcelo. And it will always be so very beautiful. Thank you."
Whites fans have been reacting to the advert on social media:
@RedheadedAnimal: This is really brilliant. A fantastic idea and thanks to all who spent their time and money on it. Very grateful and hope he knows how much he is being missed.
@Johncuthbert70: Bonkers isn’t it? On the one hand, he was just a football coach. But on the other, he was so much more. I absolutely adore the man.
@PD83046578: Sometimes I despair at our fan base, then on occasions like this, I marvel at how great we are. This is a beautiful gesture to the great man and you just know he will quietly read it, cut it out and humbly place it in a draw for safe keeping. Thank you to all involved.
@Gypster1971: The only thing that helps me deal with the fact that Marcelo is no longer in Leeds, is knowing that he will know, in some way, how loved he will always be in Leeds. Gracias Marcelo - you have the unofficial freedom of our city! | https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/marcelo-bielsa-devotees-send-heart-warming-message-to-the-former-leeds-united-boss-via-argentinian-newspaper-advert-3657102 | 2022-04-16T14:29:16Z | https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/marcelo-bielsa-devotees-send-heart-warming-message-to-the-former-leeds-united-boss-via-argentinian-newspaper-advert-3657102 | false | 1 |

CAIRO (AP) — A migrant boat has capsized off the Libyan coast, leaving at least 35 people dead or presumed dead, the U.N. migration agency said Saturday.
The shipwreck took place Friday off the western Libyan city of Sabratha, a major launching point for the mainly African migrants making the dangerous voyage across the Mediterranean, said the International Organization for Migration.
The IOM said the bodies of six migrants were pulled out while 29 others were missing and presumed dead. It was not immediately clear what caused the wooden boat to capsize.
The tragedy was the latest to involve migrants departing from North Africa to seek a better life in Europe. This past week alone, at least 53 migrants were reported dead or presumed dead off Libya, according to the IOM.
“Dedicated search and rescue capacity and a safe disembarkation mechanism are urgently needed to prevent further deaths and suffering,” the IOM said.
Investigators commissioned by the United Nations’ top human rights body found evidence of possible crimes against humanity committed in Libya against migrants detained in government-run prisons and at the hands of human traffickers.
Earlier this month, more than 90 people in an overcrowded boat drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, days after they left Libya, according to the Doctors Without Borders aid group.
Migrants regularly try to cross the Mediterranean from Libya in a desperate attempt to reach European shores. The country has emerged as the dominant transit point for migrants fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East.
Human traffickers in recent years have benefited from the chaos in Libya, smuggling in migrants across the oil-rich country’s lengthy borders with six nations. The migrants are then typically packed into ill-equipped rubber boats and set off on risky sea voyages.
At least 476 migrants died along the Central Mediterranean route between Jan. 1 and April 11, according to the IOM.
Once back in Libya, the migrants are typically taken to government-run detention centers rife with abuse and ill-treatment. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/UN-says-boat-capsizes-off-Libya-35-dead-or-17085210.php | 2022-04-16T14:35:37Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/UN-says-boat-capsizes-off-Libya-35-dead-or-17085210.php | false | 24 |
Nagpur, Apr 16 (PTI) Maharashtra Industries Minister Subhash Desai on Saturday said the Central government and Aramco will decide on the location for setting up the Refinery and Petro Chemical Complex (RPC) in the state and a committee will soon visit the state to select the site.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has pitched for the establishment of the RPC in Vidarbha, as the project, which was earlier planned in Ratnagiri, was getting stalled due to various reasons.
In a series of letters to the Union Ministry of Petroleum, Gadkari highlighted the advantages of shifting the project to Nagpur.
Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Desai said that the state government is responsible for providing the land and basic necessities for the project.
The investor in this project is Aramco and the Central government is the promoter. The decision cannot be taken by the state government alone, he said.
The decision will be taken after a meeting between the Central government and Aramco, the minister said.
Desai further said that the Centre has assured that a committee will soon be sent to the state to decide on the site for the project.
"We are waiting for the Central government committee, which will decide on the site for setting up the refinery. The final decision will be taken by the Centre and Aramco," he said.

ANNAPOLIS — A day after lawmakers worked until a few minutes before their midnight deadline to pass legislation, Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan signed 79 bipartisan bills into law, capping his final legislative session in the office.
Hogan and Democrats Senate President Bill Ferguson, Baltimore, and House Speaker Adrienne Jones, Baltimore County, praised each other at the bill signing Tuesday at the State House for the cross-party work done over the governor’s two terms.
“For eight years, we’ve sent a very clear message that unlike just down the road in Washington, where there seems to be more divisiveness and dysfunction, we actually can come together in a bipartisan way to change things for the better,” Hogan said.
It took lawmakers until the last breath of the legislative session Monday night to pass what remained on their priority list, including bills to enhance the state’s cybersecurity defense, raise the age that minors in the state are allowed to marry to 17 and ban the use of the harmful chemical PFAS in fire-fighting foam and other materials.
Ferguson, who soaked in the last moments of the 90-day legislative session as balloons and confetti fell from the chamber balconies, said he was proud of the work legislators did in the face of uncertainty around the pandemic.
“We had an obligation to work together as a team on behalf of Marylanders to ensure that they had the best possible opportunity with their health care, safety, and the building of our state’s economy,” Ferguson said.
Hogan and Democrats both leave the session with victories to brag about, with the governor securing some of his top priorities in tax relief and law enforcement investments and Democratic legislators overriding vetoes to set in law a paid family medical leave program and action to increase access to abortions.
“Paid family and medical leave will provide Marylanders with a safety net when they have a baby or have a medical emergency,” Jones said. “We are preparing for some of the most restrictive abortion actions that we have seen in a generation by expanding access to reproductive care.”
Next on the agenda for many lawmakers are the upcoming elections. Hogan, who is term-limited and not running for any office, joked Monday he was “looking forward to not hitting the campaign trail” and weighed in on the chances of his party in November.
“I think people in the legislature are going to have to defend their record,” Hogan said. “I think Republicans are going to be able to stand up and say the things they were fighting for, and Democrats have to explain why they didn’t take action on some things.”
Hogan, who put to bed rumors of a possible U.S. Senate run earlier this year, did not comment on his political future, including a potential White House bid in 2024.
“There’s plenty of time,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll find something to do after that. I’ll let you know when I decide.”

BILLINGS, Mont. — The Interior Department on Friday said it's moving forward with the first onshore sales of public oil and natural gas drilling leases under President Joe Biden, but will sharply increase royalty rates for companies as federal officials weigh efforts to fight climate change against pressure to bring down high gasoline prices.
The royalty rate for new leases will increase to 18.75% from 12.5%. That's a 50% jump and marks the first increase to royalties for the federal government since they were imposed in the 1920s.
Biden suspended new leasing just a week after taking office in January 2021. A federal judge in Louisiana ordered the sales to resume, saying Interior officials had offered no "rational explanation" for canceling them.
The government held an offshore lease auction in the Gulf of Mexico in November, although a court later blocked that sale before the leases were issued.
Friday's announcement comes amid pressure for Biden to expand U.S. crude production as the pandemic and war in Ukraine roil the global economy and fuel prices have spiked. The Democrat faces calls from within his own party to do more to curb emissions from fossil fuels that are driving climate change.
Leases for 225 square miles (580 square kilometers) of federal lands primarily in the West will be offered for sale in a notice to be posted on Monday, officials said. The parcels represent about 30% less land than officials had proposed for sale in November and 80% less than what was originally nominated by the industry.
The sales notices will cover leasing decisions in nine states — Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Montana, Alabama, Nevada, North Dakota and Oklahoma.
Interior Department officials declined to specify which states would have parcels for sale or to give a breakdown of the amount of land by state, saying that information would be included in Monday's sales notices. They said the reduced area being offered reflects a focus on leasing in locations near existing oil and gas development including pipelines.
Hundreds of parcels of public land that companies nominated for leasing had been previously dropped from the upcoming lease sale because of concerns about wildlife being harmed by drilling rigs.
At the time, officials said burning fuel from the remaining leases could cost billions of dollars in climate change impacts. Fossil fuels extracted from public lands account for about 20% of energy-related U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making them a prime target for climate activists who want to shut down leasing.
Republicans want more drilling, saying it would increase U.S. energy independence and help bring down the cost of crude. But oil companies have been hesitant to expand drilling because of uncertainty over how long high prices will continue.
Friday's announcement comes after Interior officials had raised the prospect of higher royalty rates and less land available for drilling in a leasing reform report issued last year.
"For too long, the federal oil and gas leasing programs have prioritized the wants of extractive industries," said Secretary Deb Haaland. "Today, we begin to reset how and what we consider to be the highest and best use of Americans' resources."
But the move brought condemnation from both ends of the political spectrum: Environmentalists derided the decision to hold the long-delayed sales, while oil industry representatives said the higher royalty rates would deter drilling.
Nicole Ghio with the environmental group Friends of the Earth said Biden was putting oil industry profits ahead of future generations that will have to deal with the worsening consequences of climate change.
"If Biden wants to be a climate leader, he must stop auctioning off our public lands to Big Oil," Ghio said in an emailed statement.
American Petroleum Institute Vice President Frank Macchiarola said officials had removed some of the most significant parcels that companies wanted to drill while adding "new barriers" that would discourage companies from investing in drilling on public lands.
Lease sales and royalties that companies pay on extracted oil and gas brought in more than $83 billion in revenue over the past decade. Half the money from onshore drilling goes to the state where it occurred.
Most states and many private landowners require companies to pay royalty rates higher than 12.5%, with some states charging 20% or more, according to federal officials.
The royalty rate for oil produced from federal reserves in deep waters in the Gulf of Mexico is 18.75%. In the November auction that was later canceled, energy companies including Shell, BP, Chevron and ExxonMobil offered a combined $192 million for offshore drilling rights in the Gulf.
New leases that are developed could keep producing crude long past 2030, when Biden has set a goal to lower greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50%, compared with 2005 levels. Scientists say the world needs to be well on the way to that goal over the next decade to avoid catastrophic climate change.
Economists say a higher royalty rate would have a relatively small effect on global emissions, because any reductions in oil and gas from federal lands would be largely offset by fuel from other sources.

Which Yonex tennis racket is best?
If you’ve been playing tennis for a while, you probably already know how important it is to have a reliable racket. You can have all the skills in the world, but if you don’t have a racket that complements your playing style, you might not be playing at your full potential.
Yonex offers several high-end tennis rackets for players of all skill levels. The Yonex Vcore 100 Lite Tennis Racquet is a top choice if you want a reliable new racket, providing superior stability, power and extra spin on shots.
What to know before you buy a Yonex tennis racket
Frame type
There are three types of frame: power, control and tweener. Tennis rackets with power frames are the thickest and have the largest heads, while control frames are more lightweight and have smaller heads. Tweener frames offer a balanced combination of control and power.
Power frames are suitable for players who want to generate more power on shots, but they don’t provide as much stability or flexibility as control or tweener frames.
Head size
A large racket head is more forgiving and allows for more powerful shots and a more significant margin for error. Smaller heads don’t provide as much power, but they’re easier to maneuver, so they’re ideal for experienced players or those with superior control.
There are three categories of racket head size:
- Midsize: 85-95 square inches
- Mid-plus: 96-105 square inches
- Oversize: 106-118 square inches
Grip material and size
A tennis racket usually has a grip made of leather or rubber. Rubber is less durable, but provides a better grip. Leather is also comfortable, but isn’t effective at wicking away sweat, so it can feel slippery after a while. In any case, you should find the grip comfortable for a full match.
The length of your racket’s grip should correspond to the size of your hand. To determine your ideal grip size, measure the distance from the center of your palm to the tip of your middle finger.
What to look for in a quality Yonex tennis racket
Stiffness
Stiffness refers to how much the frame bends on contact with the ball. A racket typically has a stiffness RA rating between 50-70, with a low stiffness rating indicating a high flex. Rackets with a high flex are easier to control, but they absorb more energy than stiff rackets, so they don’t deliver as much power.
Ezone
A Yonex Ezone racket has a thicker frame and focuses mainly on a superior feel. These offer an excellent combination of power, spin and control and are available in various head sizes, so you can find the right one for you no matter your skill level. They’re especially suitable for baseline players who want a racket that’s easier to maneuver and swing.
Vcore
The Vcore family of Yonex tennis rackets prioritizes spin and precision over power, so Vcores are suitable for experienced players or those with solid control technique. Many user-friendly models are available for novices, but these rackets are better suited for players proficient in hitting spin-loaded balls.
How much you can expect to spend on a Yonex tennis racket
The cheapest Yonex racket costs $100, but more durable, advanced-engineered models for intermediate players can cost up to $270.
Yonex tennis racket FAQ
What are the disadvantages to using larger or smaller grip sizes?
A. Using a grip size that doesn’t correlate to your hand’s size isn’t a big deal in the short term, but in the long run, you could suffer wrist or elbow strain.
Do I need to buy a new racket if its strings break or come loose?
A. No. Many sporting goods stores can restring your racket for a low price.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski continues to have a substantial cash advantage over her opponent backed by former President Donald Trump.
Murkowski, in office since 2002, brought in more than $1.5 million in the three-month period ending March 31, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Murkowski ended the quarter with $5.2 million on hand with no debt, the records show.
“We are humbled by the overwhelming support our campaign continues to receive,” Nate Adams, Murkowski’s campaign manager, said in a statement Thursday when the campaign released her top-line fundraising numbers.
Republican Kelly Tshibaka, who is challenging Murkowski, raised $673,383 during the last quarter, a total that included donations from a fundraiser at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, which Trump attended, Tshibaka campaign spokesperson, Tim Murtaugh, told The Associated Press on Friday.
According to FEC records, Trump didn’t contribute to Tshibaka’s campaign during the quarter, but Murtaugh said Trump donated $5,000 in July. Factcheck.org reported the donation was made by Trump’s Save America political action committee.
As of March 31, Tshibaka had $967,600 on hand with just over $95,000 in debts.
Murtaugh said not all campaign contributions for the Mar-a-Lago event were recorded this quarter; some came in during the fourth quarter of 2021.
“Kelly Tshibaka raised more money in the first quarter of 2022 than she did in the last quarter of 2021 and she will have all the resources she needs to defeat Lisa Murkowski,” Murtaugh said in an email.
FEC records show she raised $601,447 during the final quarter of last year.
“We are very comfortable with where this race is headed,” he said.
Trump has said he would campaign for Tshibaka after vowing revenge against Murkowski, who voted to convict him in his second impeachment trial and called on Trump to resign after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
“He said that he’ll come up into a rally for us, and I think that’ll be great for voter turnout,” Tshibaka told reporters Monday after filing for office in Anchorage.
In addition to Murkowski and Tshibaka, 11 other candidates so far have filed with the state Division of Elections to run in the Senate race. None had immediately filed fundraising reports with the FEC Friday.
Under a new election system approved by Alaska voters in 2020, the top four vote-getters in the August primary, regardless of party, will advance to the November general election, where ranked-choice voting will be used. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/politics/ap-politics/murkowski-maintains-cash-advantage-over-trump-backed-hopeful/ | 2022-04-16T14:55:44Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/politics/ap-politics/murkowski-maintains-cash-advantage-over-trump-backed-hopeful/ | true | 29 |

When Everton fans regard their greatest players in the club's history Alex 'Sandy' Young is not necessarily the first name that springs to mind.
But his goal-scoring record speaks for itself with 113 strikes he is still the club's second-highest league goal scorer behind Dixie Dean. He also scored the winning goal in the 1906 FA Cup Final.
Born on June 23, 1880, the Scottish center-forward is fourth on the list of Everton's all-time top scorers. Regarding his exploits the Liverpool ECHO said he was: "One of the most fascinating players that ever toed a ball."
READ MORE : Daniel Levy will wish he made Everton new stadium deal to avoid Tottenham Hotspur pitfall
After unsuccessful spells at Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, he retired from football. He then emigrated to Australia where sadly he killed his own brother.
Alex funded the purchase of a farm just outside Tongala 140 miles north of Melbourne in 1911 and then moved out to be with his brother, John after his playing career ended in 1914.
The relationship between the two soured over time and neighbours noticed them fighting frequently, sometimes with gardening forks and shovels. What caused friction between the two brothers was money with John borrowing large sums and reportedly never paying his brother back.
Speaking in court at his trial Alex said: "I went to the cowshed, where I asked him about my money John got up and rushed at me with a shovel.
"I ran away, and he followed. I stopped and said, 'Stand, or I'll shoot.' He made a rush and said, 'come on fire'."
"I fired, and he fell. I took up the shovel and went to my house and shot myself in the head. I do not remember anything after that."
The attempt to take his own life was unsuccessful. Alex was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to three years in prison. After his release in 1919, he was penniless and he had asked Everton to settle his £200 legal bill.
At one point a rumour circulated that Alex had been hanged for cattle rustling after his release from prison. However, this turned out to be untrue and in May 1920 he boarded a ship back to England. He remained in Britain for the last 39 years of his life.
He eventually settled in Edinburgh and worked in a local quarry. In later life, it seems that he fell into poverty and died alone in an Edinburgh mental institution on September 18 1959 at the age of 79.
He was buried in an unmarked grave at Seafield Cemetery. More than half a century later, in September 2014, his grave was properly restored and rededicated thanks to the efforts of the Everton Heritage Society and Everton Football Club. | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/evertons-fourth-highest-goal-scorer-23674918 | 2022-04-16T14:56:07Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/evertons-fourth-highest-goal-scorer-23674918 | true | 1 |

Introduction
In a troubled world where religious intolerance has led to loss of lives and livelihoods, Christians and Muslims have reasons to be sober towards embracing religious pluralism and peaceful co-existence. Sadly, various events hurt badly. For example, between October 2016 to January 2017, there was persecution and killing of over 6000 Muslim Rohingya people by the Burmese military in Myanmar. By the same token, there was an alarming report by Crux that “At least 3,462 Christians, including ten priests or pastors, were murdered in Nigeria in the first 200 days of 2021.” These sad incidences suggest that the world is more religious than spiritual.
Perhaps Samuel Huntington (1996) was right when he predicted “a clash of civilizations” between the West and the Islamic-world in the Post-Cold War. Despite this apparent unsavory tale, “the people of the book” share certain values in common which if properly harnessed, could build bridges of peace. On 2 March being Ash Wednesday 2022, Christians the world over began their 40-days fast which is expected to end on Holy Thursday, April 14 leading to Easter celebration.
In like manner, their Muslim counterparts started their 30-days Holy Month of Ramadan on April 2 which is scheduled to end on May 2 with the Eid al-Fitr celebration. This holy coincidence speaks to the heart of piety as a modest attempt at healing the world and living in a pluralistic society. This piece argues that despite the bitter past as regards what has transpired between Christians and Muslims, these fasts could be catalysts for global harmony.
Fasting in Christian Tradition
For Christians, Lent begins on “Ash Wednesday” and ends at sundown of Holy Thursday. On this day, the faithful are marked with ashes on their foreheads in keeping with Holy Scriptures (Cf. Esther 4:2-3; Daniel 19:3; Jonah 3:6 and Matthew 11:21) as a sign of repentance and penitence. In imitation of Moses (Cf. Exodus 34:28) and Jesus (Cf. Matthew 4:2), the people of God take to the three traditional spiritual acts of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
The spiritual benefits of fasting and mortification are rife. During Lent, the faithful are encouraged to abstain from meat and alcoholic drinks as a way of spiritual discipline. Church Fathers like Basil the Great and Saint Augustine have spoken eloquently about physical and spiritual fast. They contend that while physical fast entails the body abstaining from food and drink, spiritual fast has to do with abstaining from evil intentions, words and deeds. Lent helps Christians to address sinful personal habits like masturbation, sexual immodesty, gossips and nagging. At this time, penance includes going for sacramental confession, prayer, meditation and reflection.
Islamic Perspective of Fasting
In Islam, fasting also known as Sawm or Rūzeh is the practice of abstaining from food, drink, smoking and sexual activity during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Sawm occurs between dawn and nightfall when the adhan of the Maghrib prayer is proclaimed. It appears in the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar. As the fourth of the five pillars of Islam, the fast of Ramadan requires Muslims to give alms, read the Holy Koran more often and practice reflection.
Ramadan disposes Muslim faithful to be sensitive to the needs of the aged, strangers, widows, orphans and other vulnerable groups. This is achieved during breaking the fast. The rich invite family members, friends and neighbours to enjoy the iftar – that is, the evening meal that is taken which replaces breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is a sign of gratitude to Allah for the gift of life and all good things. Islamic scholars are of the view that: “Fasting (Sawm) carries many rewards, whether we are fasting voluntarily or in Ramadan. It improves our physical health and our relationship with food, helps us to be more grateful and more conscious of Allah, protects us from the Fire and leads us into Jannah.”
Nostra Aetate, Christian-Muslim Relations
Nostra Aetate, The Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions, disclosed that Muslims are believers in one God who respect Jesus and His Mother Virgin Mary; although they do not believe in Him as God. They hold that He is a Prophet. Muslims believe that God will judge all peoples. They worship God through prayer, charity and fasting. It also suggests that overemphasizing differences with Muslims is a sin. It is on the basis of Vatican II’s teaching as espoused in Nostra Aetate that Popes John 6, John Paul 2, and Benedict 16, referred to Muslims as “Brothers.”
In his address to the United Nations on 25 January 1959, Pope John XXIII put across a historic reminder to people of different religions, cultures and ethnicities that: “Peace on earth is an object of profound desire for humanity.” He emphasized that the four principles for achieving peace for humanity are: “Truth, justice, solidarity, and liberty.” Going forward, Nostra Aetate is employed as the Magna Carta for inter-faith relations.
In a Ramadan message released by the Vatican on April 8, leaders of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue called on Christians and Muslims to share God’s bounty and gifts with one another. The statement co-signed by Cardinal Miguel Ángel Ayuso, Council President, and Msgr. Indunil Janakaratne Kankanamalage, Council Secretary indicated that God’s “generosity fills our hearts with gratitude toward him and, at the same time, encourages us to share his gifts with our brothers and sisters who are in any kind of need.”
In the statement which drew attention to sharing in this time of Coronavirus pandemic, the Vatican reiterated that sharing “involves sharing one another’s joys and sorrows, which are part of every human life.” The officials surmised: “Our hope, dear Muslim brothers and sisters, is that we continue sharing the joys and sorrows of all our neighbors and friends, because God’s love embraces every person and the entire universe.”
This also played out in another Ramadan message which was released on Thursday, April 7, by Bishop Emmanuel Badejo of the Nigerian Diocese of Oyo which stated that: “The Almighty Allah, who grants every good thing, must have a hand in the coincidence that you’re beginning this unique spiritual exercise while Christians are still observing their annual fasting which we started a month ago.”
Speaking further, he stressed, “Let our fasting and prayer make us work for a better Nigeria that we all desire,” while adding, Nigeria “is our own, our common heritage, and country. Let us seek for her unity, political stability, equity, true and good governance as we prepare earnestly for general elections early next year.” Bishop Badejo advised both Muslims and Christians to work together for unity, justice and good neighborliness while seeking justice, peace and development. He seized the occasion to wish all Muslims “a fruitful and blessed month of Ramadan.”
Conclusion
Both Christians and Muslims are challenged to be charitable to orphans, widows, the aged, those in prison, the hospitalized and all destitute people. It is also a season to show acts of mercy to the countless vulnerable groups such as immigrants and refugees across the world. It is high time they reflected on the lives of Jesus and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) for positive action. The current aggressive invasion of Ukraine by Russia akin to the biblical analogy of the killing of Abel by his brother, Cain calls for global synergy to stand for the truth and what is right.
This Holy Season requires that these two nations (Ukraine and Russia) with Christian heritage pay attention to the passion of Christ by fasting from this meaningless war. “Fast,” as a common denominator for the world’s greatest religions should be the basis for promoting justice and peace globally. Amidst the conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, may the closing days of Lent leading to Easter celebration and the Ramadan fast transform the world into the new heaven and new earth which every human soul desires.

Current Mets manager Buck Showalter once ordered Barry Bonds – the best hitter in baseball at the time — to be walked with the bases loaded.
But Corey Seager?
Angels manager Joe Maddon had pitcher Austin Warren issue a free pass to the new Rangers shortstop with the bases loaded in the fourth inning of Friday’s game in Texas. The move initially backfired with the Rangers scoring two additional runs in the inning, before the Angels came back to post a 9-6 victory.
“I thought by walking Seager, it would avoid the big blow,” Maddon explained after the game. “And just to stir up the group, quite frankly. It’s not something you normally do. I thought by going up there and doing something like that, the team might respond to something like that.”
Maddon had tried this once before during his 19 seasons as a big-league manager, walking Texas star Josh Hamilton with the bases full as manager of the Rays in 2008.
Showalter’s decision to walk Bonds with the Diamondbacks in 1998 was the only other instance of a bases-loaded intentional walk since 1950. There previously were five recorded instances, including of Hall of Famers Nap Lajoie in 1901 and Mel Ott in 1929.
Seager, the former Dodgers shortstop who signed a 10-year contract worth $325 million with Texas as a free agent in the offseason, is batting .333 with one home run and six RBIs in seven games this season.
Following the intentional walk, Mitch Garver lifted a sacrifice fly and Warren balked home another run for a 6-2 Texas lead. The Angels scored five runs in the top of the fifth – including a homer by Shohei Ohtani – and two more in the seventh to improve to 4-4 this season.
“Absolutely, it surprised me, but I’m not going to tell Joe Maddon no,” Warren said after the game. “I trust Maddon a lot and it worked out.
“Whatever it did, it sparked us. Because we put up five runs the next inning. So it all worked out.”
Texas manager Chris Woodward also admittedly was surprised by Maddon’s move.
“I think everybody was [surprised],” Woodward said. “I’ve seen it done to the best hitter in the game in Barry Bonds. It’s obviously a compliment to Seager, to how good he is. Who knows, maybe it’s a grand slam or maybe it’s a double play? But that wasn’t the reason they won. They didn’t get out of it because of that. And because of that, we ended up scoring a few runs.” | https://nypost.com/2022/04/16/angels-manager-joe-maddon-orders-intentional-walk-with-bases-loaded/ | 2022-04-16T15:17:39Z | https://nypost.com/2022/04/16/angels-manager-joe-maddon-orders-intentional-walk-with-bases-loaded/ | true | 2 |

Minute's silence cut short as Man City fans disrupt tribute to Hillsborough victims at FA Cup semi-final vs Liverpool
A minute's silence before kick-off in the FA Cup semi-final tie between Manchester City and Liverpool had to be cut short on Saturday.
The two teams tried to observe a period of silence to pay respect to the 97 victims of the Hillsborough disaster on the 33rd anniversary of the tragic event.
However, referee Michael Oliver decided to bring an end to the tribute because of some disruption from fans.

If you want to be successful, you will need some help along the way. That’s a truth that figures like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and even Mark Zuckerberg can confirm.
We also all know that success means different things to different people. There are different paths we will follow and different levels that we will reach, but certain aspects of the process are the same. There are some similar steps people should take whether starting a company, climbing the ladder in a traditional job, or pursuing other personal goals.
One of those things that will lead to success in a variety of areas is surrounding yourself with the right team, people who can help you reach your full potential and realise your vision and goals. Elon Musk asks a series of odd questions to candidates who want to work at Tesla, to make sure they will be good teammates. Jeff Bezos has his own set of three questions for candidates who want to lead Amazon. The most powerful men in the world also know the value of a good contact (you never know who will be able to help you in the future) and being able to recognize people who will support you, and who you want to support too.
Certain types of people slow down progress, while others help everything flow better and lead groups to creative solutions. (That's why Bill Gates says that one of his keys to success is to surround himself with the best people.)
To be successful, you need to surround yourself with these types of people
Lisa Skeete-Tatum, founder and CEO of Landit, a technology company that provides career advice for businesses and individuals, told CNBC that there are five types of people that everyone needs in their life to be successful.
A coach or mentor is someone who will help you to become a better version of yourself, learn essential skills, and move forward. Mentors help introduce you to new ways of thinking, lead you to question assumptions that are holding you back, share valuable life lessons, and much more. | https://www.gqindia.com/get-smart/content/5-types-of-people-you-need-in-your-life-to-be-successful-according-to-experts | 2022-04-16T15:34:57Z | https://www.gqindia.com/get-smart/content/5-types-of-people-you-need-in-your-life-to-be-successful-according-to-experts | false | 1 |
NEW YORK, April 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Butterfly Network, Inc. f/k/a Longview Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: BFLY) (a) between February 16, 2021 and November 15, 2021, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), and/or (b) all holders of Butterfly common stock as of the record date for the special meeting of shareholders held on February 12, 2021 to consider approval of the merger between Longview and Butterfly (the “Merger”) and entitled to vote on the Merger, of the important April 18, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Butterfly securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Butterfly class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3602 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 18, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the Proxy was negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing its preparation. Additionally, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the Proxy and defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Butterfly had overstated its post-Merger business and financial prospects; (2) notwithstanding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Butterfly’s financial projections failed to take into account the pandemic’s broad consequences, which included healthcare logistical challenges, and medical personnel fatigue; (3) accordingly, Butterfly’s gross margin levels and revenue projections were less sustainable than the Company had represented; (4) all the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on Butterfly’s business and financial condition; and (5) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Butterfly action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3602 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Hearts are through to their third Scottish Cup final in four years after holding off a 10-man Hibernian 2-1 at Hampden Park.
Strikes from forward Ellis Simms and defender Stephen Kingsley propelled the Jambos into a two-goal lead inside 21 minutes, before Hibs midfielder Chris Cadden reduced the deficit soon after.
In a feisty encounter, Hibs midfielder Joe Newell was sent off in the 64th minute for picking up the second of two yellow cards for a foul on Peter Haring.
The Easter Road men gave it their all but the Tynecastle side, who had beat their Edinburgh rivals 3-1 in the Scottish Premiership last week, again emerged victors.

AILSA CHANG, HOST:
Something really unusual has happened in Florida with congressional redistricting. The state legislature has thrown up its hands and is now asking Governor Ron DeSantis to take care of it. This comes after the governor vetoed the first set of maps. The move has left many wondering who wins and who loses and what the new maps will eventually look like.
NPR's Greg Allen joins us now to explain what all of this means. Hi, Greg.
GREG ALLEN, BYLINE: Hi, Ailsa.
CHANG: All right. So in Florida and, you know, like, in a lot of other states, the responsibility of drawing new congressional maps belongs to the legislature. Like, usually they want this job. So I don't get it. Why is the legislature now giving the job to the governor?
ALLEN: Well, you know, as you know, every 10 years, the states have to draw up these new congressional maps. And the census in Florida is one of just a couple of states that haven't completed the job yet. Well, Republican lawmakers took a very careful approach to drawing up the new maps when they started the job really early this spring. That's because they remembered a year - a decade ago when they spent lots of money and years in court over maps that were eventually thrown out.
So the maps they came up with were ones that they believe complied with state and federal law and would withstand court challenges. But Governor Ron DeSantis didn't like them. He says the law has changed over the last decade because of court decisions that have weakened the Federal Voting Rights Act, and he wants the maps to reflect that.
CHANG: OK. So now the legislature is like, all right, you handle it then. Has Governor DeSantis said what he even wants on these maps?
ALLEN: Well, we'll have to see what the maps look like when they probably are produced early next week. His office previously has drawn up maps that weaken or eliminate two African American voting districts in Florida. One is in north Florida, running from Jacksonville to Tallahassee. The other is in the Orlando area. At a news conference today, DeSantis was vague about what the final map will look like, saying his staff is still working on it.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
RON DESANTIS: It will, though, have North Florida drawn in a race-neutral manner. I mean, we are not going to have a 200-mile gerrymander that divvies people based on the color of their skin.
CHANG: Well, what do you think? What impact will that have on what Florida's congressional delegation - like, what it will look like?
ALLEN: Right. Well, if you look at the current delegation, it's 27 members of Congress - 16 Republican, 11 Democrats. And because of a population increase, Florida's now gaining a seat in Congress. Maps produced earlier by DeSantis would likely give Republicans at least three more seats than they have now.
And as we've been talking, these maps will be challenged in court. Florida's constitution prohibits maps from being drawn in a way that decreases the voting power of minorities. It also prohibits them from having maps that benefit a certain political party or an incumbent, you know, what's been known as partisan gerrymandering. Michael McDonald, a redistricting expert and professor at the University of Florida, says that may be a problem for Governor DeSantis when his maps are challenged in court.
MICHAEL MCDONALD: As the racial component of this map is revealed or unwound as part of DeSantis' new maps, there may be also increase in partisan gerrymandering. And that could also trip up the map in review by the Florida Supreme Court because eventually it's going to go there.
CHANG: Right. OK. So legal challenges are inevitable. And if a challenge is successful, Greg, would these maps just get thrown out as well?
ALLEN: Well, probably not before the election, not until we have new members of Congress who are voted into office. Michael McDonald says for DeSantis and other Republicans who want to regain a majority in the House of Representatives, politically speaking, this has turned out to be a good strategy.
MCDONALD: They're probably going to get whatever maps they want for the 2022 elections and maybe even one or two elections beyond that before the courts may actually intervene and require different districts for Florida.
ALLEN: You know, legal challenges would move first through the state courts here in Florida and then possibly move to the federal system. The U.S. Supreme Court, though, has said that even if a lower court finds there's problems with the maps, it's too late to order new maps to be drawn before the next election.
CHANG: That is NPR's Greg Allen in Miami. Thank you, Greg.
ALLEN: You're welcome.

Teenager confronts suspected home intruder, helps police catch him
MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. (WCVB) - A Massachusetts teenager is earning rave reviews after she confronted a home intruder and helped police catch him.
“I think it was very scary,” 14-year-old Avery Cormier said.
Cormier did not let fear stop her when a stranger broke into her home in Middleborough, Massachusetts, on Friday morning.
“I heard the boots walk through the house and I thought that my mom might have just forgotten her phone and came back until I realized that’s not my mom,” she said.
So, she grabbed two steak knives from the kitchen and confronted the man.
“I was screaming at the top of my lungs to get out of my house, get out. That’s really it,” Cormier said.
Cormier said she didn’t really have a lot going through her head as it happened.
“It was just kind of adrenaline,” she said.
The suspect then fled and Cormier called 911. She also managed to record a video of him driving away.
It’s the video that police said cracked the case.
“She had the wherewithal in the moment of extreme stress and scary event to be able to think on her feet,” Middleborough Police Chief Joseph Perkins said.
And now 58-year-old Joseph Ridge is behind bars. Police said he has a long criminal record.
“She’s a straight-A student. She’s like, she’s just, she’s ... I don’t know, I’m blessed to have a daughter like her,” Cormier’s mother, who did not provide her name, said.
Cormier is relieved there was no violence, and in hindsight thinks she should have first called 911.
“Call the police before you do anything,” she said. “Don’t just grab knives and go chase after him. Might not work out.”

- Young kids in the UK, US, Ireland, and Spain have gotten severe acute hepatitis.
- None of the kids tested positive for the viruses that cause the illness − hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E.
- The WHO said the illness could have been caused by adenovirus but the link is still unclear.
The World Health Organization is looking into cases of severe acute hepatitis in children in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Spain the agency said on Friday.
The cases were not linked to hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, the viruses that commonly cause the illness.
To date, 74 cases have been identified in kids under 10 in the United Kingdom, less than five cases have also been identified in Ireland, and three were confirmed in Spain. Officials in each country are also investigating the cause, the WHO said.
No links have been found between the kids in the UK.
State News also reported that officials in the US are investigating nine cases of severe acute hepatitis in kids, which have also not been caused by the viruses that commonly cause hepatitis.
The Alabama Department of Public Health on Friday announced that since November 2021, nine cases of this acute hepatitis were identified in kids under 10.
The WHO said the cause of this liver failure is still unclear and under investigation, but said adenovirus, a respiratory illness that normally causes a cold, could be involved.
In Alabama, all nine kids tested positive for Adenovirus 41, ADPH said. Karen Landers, district medical officer for the Alabama Department of Public Health told State News the cases were found in different parts of the state, and they haven't found any links between the children.
"The affected children were from throughout the state of Alabama, and an epidemiological linkage among them has not been determined. None of these children has had any underlying health conditions of note," ADPH said.
ADPH said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is developing a national Health Advisory to search for clinically similar cases.
Stat News, citing a scientific article on a case in Scotland, said the pandemic may have played a role, noting that kids impacted may have not been exposed to a wide variety of germs during the pandemic, and therefore were more susceptible to becoming ill once COVID-19 mandates were eased. | https://www.businessinsider.com/world-health-organization-investigating-rare-liver-damage-in-kids-2022-4 | 2022-04-16T15:59:45Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/world-health-organization-investigating-rare-liver-damage-in-kids-2022-4 | false | 2 |

The Illinois Department of Transportation is reminding motorists to slow down and stay alert in work zones as construction season ramps up.
At a press conference Tuesday at the IDOT garage on Detweiller Drive in Peoria, Illinois State Police Trooper Haylie Polistina reminded drivers to obey Scott's Law by slowing down and moving over to another lane when an officer pulls someone over along the side of the roadway.
"To date, our agency has had 10 squad cars struck as a result of Scott's Law violations. And it is only April," she said. "In 2021, there were 22 Scott's Law related crashes."
Polistina said the state police will be enforcing speed limits and the rules of the road in construction zones this spring. That includes radar-equipped photo vans able to capture the license plate numbers and faces of motorists driving over the posted limit.
The minimum fine for a first offense in a work zone is $250. A second fine leads to a $750 fine and a 90-day drivers' license suspension.
She said motorists should be prepared for lane closures, speed reductions, and the presence of workers in construction areas.
"A large majority of these crashes could be avoided if motorists were simply paying attention," she said.
Dane Simpson with the Great Plains Laborers and Employers Cooperation Education Trust echoed those sentiments.
"At 42 miles an hour, 50% of pedestrians survived the impact (in) a work zone. As that speed goes up, survival rates go down," he said. "We can't stress enough to pay attention to posted speed limits. Put your phones down. Watch for lane changes and obey signage."

As of April 6, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s current seven-day national moving average of daily new COVID cases was 25,596, which is sa 4.9% increase over the previous seven-day moving average. The Omicron variants now account for virtually all new cases in the U.S., and a total of 80,111,065 COVID-19 cases and 981,197 COVID-19 deaths have been reported in the U.S.
Nonetheless, CDC reports the U.S. has made “tremendous progress” in the fight against COVID-19 with cases, hospitalizations and deaths declining across the country and with millions at much lower risk of serious sickness from COVID — but it still warns of ongoing community transmission.
CDC reports that vaccination rates among children ages 5 to 11 years remain low, which leaves them more vulnerable to serious disease. While children face a lower risk of contracting severe COVID, they can still become seriously ill, the CDC warns, saying “there is no way to tell in advance which a child will get a mild or severe case.” According to CDC, “COVID-19 vaccines have undergone — and continue to undergo — the “most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history.” CDC urges people to talk with their healthcare provider about COVID vaccination.
CDC continues to rate Riverside County’s “community level” as “Low.” People in all community levels are recommended to stay up to date with their vaccines, and to get tested if they have symptoms.
As of Tuesday, April 12, Riverside County Public Health (RCPH) reported 313 COVID cases in the “Idyllwild-Pine Cove community,” resulting in six deaths and 306 patients recovered, leaving one new active case. Anza has had 389 total cases with seven deaths and 381 recovered, leaving one active case there, also.
As of Friday, April 8, the state of California reported 591,268 total cases in Riverside County with 3.1 new cases per 100,000 residents over a seven-day moving average. That works out to about a 10.7% increase over last week. The state reports a total of 6,429 confirmed COVID deaths in Riverside County, 11 more than last week. The state also reports 42 currently hospitalized COVID patients in our county (nine fewer than last week), with 116 ICU beds currently available, 14 fewer than reported last week.
As of Tuesday, April 12, the Dashboard of the Hemet Unified School District (HUSD) reported no active cases of COVID at Idyllwild School among either students or staff members. At Hemet High, five students and one staff member were reported as active cases. Hamilton School reported one student and no staff members with active COVID.
As of Friday, April 8, RCPH reported that in Riverside County, 61.2% of the population 5 years and older is now “fully vaccinated” (two doses), while 31.7% have had at least one additional booster.
But as of Monday, April 11, California reported 8,513,771 total confirmed COVID cases statewide (19,766 more than reported last week, which is a whopping 89.4% more new cases than were reported last week) with 88,557 total resulting deaths (350 more than reported last week, which is a 38.3% increase in new deaths over what was reported the previous week).
Back on March 18, CDC released a new study showing that, “among adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during the Delta and Omicron waves, those who received two or three doses of the Pfizer BioNTech or Moderna vaccine had 90-95% less risk of dying or needing a ventilator compared with adults who were not vaccinated.”
CDC advises that vaccination, along with other important prevention strategies, continues to be the best defense against severe COVID disease. Everyone ages 5 years and up is recommended to be vaccinated, with boosters for everyone ages 12 and older — specifically the Pfizer-BioNTech booster for those ages 12 to 15.
COVID vaccinations are available in Idyllwild by appointment at Idyllwild Pharmacy (1-951-659-2135). Riverside County is not listing any place on the Hill as a future county vaccination location, but places in Hemet, San Jacinto, Banning, Beaumont, Moreno Valley, Desert Hot Springs and Palm Desert are listed. Visit https://rivcoph.org/COVID-19-Vaccine-with-Registration to schedule vaccinations through RCPH.
Also, CDC suggests visiting vaccines.gov, calling 1-800-232-0233 or texting your ZIP code to 438829 to find a vaccination site near you. Further CDC resources are available at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/COVID-data/COVIDview/. | https://idyllwildtowncrier.com/2022/04/13/covid-19-local-update-cdc-on-covid-vaccines-most-intensive-safety-monitoring-in-u-s-history/ | 2022-04-16T16:01:02Z | https://idyllwildtowncrier.com/2022/04/13/covid-19-local-update-cdc-on-covid-vaccines-most-intensive-safety-monitoring-in-u-s-history/ | false | 1 |

An 11-foot hammerhead shark washed up on a beach in southern Florida, much to beachgoers' surprise.
Visitors at Pompano Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale, encountered the shark's corpse on April 6, according to CNN affiliate WPLG.
A team of scientists from the American Shark Conservancy took samples and identified the shark as a female great hammerhead, after moving the body away from onlookers.
Hannah Medd, a conservation scientist and the founder of the American Shark Conservancy, told CNN that she and her team took the shark's measurements as well as fin clippings to test its DNA and muscle tissue for biopsies. The female was pregnant and weighed around 500 lbs, she said.
The Conservancy, which has a license to take samples from protected species like the hammerhead shark, was alerted to the animal by the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program, which surveys for turtle nests on beaches. A member of the team had encountered the body with a hook in its mouth. The "specific type of hook usually indicates someone was fishing for a large animal like a hammerhead," Medd said.
"This species, in particular, is quite susceptible to stress," she said.
Medd explained that a small community of recreational fishermen target sharks for catch-and-release, which is legal in Florida, although the sharks cannot be harvested. But the stress of catch-and-release, combined with wounds from fishing hooks, can sometimes lead to death.
"This is a pretty rare event," Medd said. "We get a call for maybe one to four a year [hammerheads] that have washed back up."
She said that her team has advocated for best catch-and-release practices, like using stronger fishing gear, which reduces the "fight time" during which the sharks are struggling with fishermen. Less fight time means less chance of injury or mortality.
"These sharks are really good at fighting," she said. "That's why the anglers like to catch them -- it's exciting."
She added that "because they're prohibited, we typically can't get samples, so in this case it was an unfortunate but good chance for us to learn more about a pretty important species."
After the biologists took their samples, a nearby construction crew dug a hole and buried the shark on the beach, said Medd.
Some beachgoers had emotional reactions to the dramatic sight of the shark washed up on the shore. Medd said she saw some witnesses crying.
"You never want to see an animal this big laying on the beach," said Pompano Beach resident Kevin Nosal, according to WPLG. "This is 11 feet long and over 500 pounds. It's a female, so it's always sad when a female passes."
Great hammerhead sharks are common in the coastal waters around Florida, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They can reach as long as 18 feet and live for more than 20 years. The fish are sometimes targeted by commercial longline fishermen for their fins, says the commission.
As a predator, hammerhead sharks wield important influence on the ocean ecosystems, according to Medd. "They're just a very important piece of that food web that keeps our oceans healthy."
"Even people enjoying a day at the beach like to see healthy oceans and coastlines," she said. "Sharks are actually a part of that."

Russell Westbrook laid it all out during his exit interview with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The 2021-22 season was a disappoint on many levels, but the Westbrook experiment turned out worst than most would have expected. Westbrook declined to take much accountability for how the season went, and even so far as to say he never felt like he was able to be himself.
It is a little surprising to see Westbrook decline across the board, especially considering he was coming off a year where he averaged a triple-double. In fact, Westbrook noted that he believes his season was not up to his standard because he did not hit that threshold again.
“Yeah, I mean, it’s different man, you know, it’s like. It’s a skill that I knew that I would have to kind of figure out. Like, yes, I will now have the ball in my hands a lot less, I’ll be in different position on the floor. And that’s a part of the sacrifice. So that will obviously accumulate to numbers being a little differently, and not averaging as many points or not averaging many assists. So that’s what I mean by being able to scale and understand my performance, and kind of what I see where I could have done different things better.
“And obviously, I could have had a better season but based on the positions and how we played and where I was out on the floor, wasn’t really able to do some of the things that I was able to do. Even last year, like obviously, I’m coming off averaging a triple double. So anything less than that would not be a good season for me, in my eyes, you know what I’m saying? So that’s why the scale of how it come from is a little different.”
Averaging a triple-double is impressive in its own right, but for Westbrook to measure his success off stats like that is concerning to say the least. With how Westbrook was received, this recent comment will not go over well with fans and puts even more pressure to find a way to trade him in the coming months.
Russell Westbrook unsure of what is best for his future yet
Westbrook has a $47 million player option for next season that he will likely exercise, but he admitted he is not sure what the best thing for his future is quite yet.
“No, I don’t. I haven’t thought that far into anything. But I just always lean on … just continue doing the right thing. Like I always tell you guys, I lean big on my faith and with that I can never go wrong. I can always find, wherever if it’s here if it’s there, I’m kind of leave that out of it. My job is to make sure that I come to work, be professional, be a good person more than anything, continue doing that, and everything else that kind of play out.” | https://lakersnation.com/lakers-news-russell-westbrook-believes-he-did-not-have-good-2021-22-season-because-he-didnt-average-triple-double/2022/04/16/ | 2022-04-16T16:09:56Z | https://lakersnation.com/lakers-news-russell-westbrook-believes-he-did-not-have-good-2021-22-season-because-he-didnt-average-triple-double/2022/04/16/ | false | 1 |
Shaun Maloney has vowed to repay the Hibs faithful for sticking with his side as they crashed out of the Scottish Cup.
After falling behind thanks to two brilliant Hearts goals, Chris Cadden fired home to give the Easter Road men a lifeline.
Some Hibs fans were headed for the exits when the Jambos went 2-0 up, but those who stayed will be glad they did as their team took Hearts to the wire.
Former Celtic star Maloney made tactical changes at half-time and had Hearts on the ropes as the second half wore on.
Hibs couldn't quite squeeze in an equaliser but Maloney insists they'll use their fan support as fuel for improvement.
He said: "I've never been to a derby game like this, lost, then had a reception like that from the support. The players appreciated that and the fans appreciated the effort the players put in.
"Over the coming months and years, I need to give them a team which gets applauded off the pitch every match and gives them a winning feeling.
"I hope that today I gave them a team to be proud of. My goal over the next four or five games is to give them that level of performance, fight and desire.
"It's my job to lift the players. We need to use this feeling so that every single game we play, we give what we gave today.
"I thought the performance of my team was excellent. It was as good as it has been in the three or four months since I've been here."
Maloney felt his side lost the physical battle when they squared up to their arch rivals at Tynecastle last week.
But he was impressed at how they stood up to Hearts at Hampden and insists that he'll take the flack for Joe Newell's red card.
Maloney added: "Last weekend there was a physicality and strength to Hearts that we had to match. I asked the players to play on the edge and we had to match what Hearts have.
"I asked Joe to play on an edge, we had to match Hearts. Joe just went over the edge but I'll take that one, I asked him to play that way.
"Even at 2-0 down, I thought we were playing very well. We didn't defend a set play and we didn't defend a counter-attack. That's small things which we've worked on this week.
"I couldn't be more proud of them and what they've given me. Going down to 10 men, I thought we were the more dominant side." | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/shaun-maloney-makes-hibs-mission-26727462 | 2022-04-16T16:10:38Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/shaun-maloney-makes-hibs-mission-26727462 | true | 1 |
Fianna Fail Senator Timmy Dooley has called for disruptive passengers to face a lifetime ban from flying after he witnessed “outrageous behaviour” of four “drunk men” who tormented women throughout a flight.
Mr Dooley was travelling home from Ukraine via Poland to Dublin on Tuesday night when he witnessed a young woman being groped.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, he said: “There were four drunk men on board the flight and one man groped a young woman’s backside and she was very upset.
“It got quite intense as a couple of passengers on board then attempted to intervene and clobber the man for what he had done.
“The four men then kept attempting to get into seats that were vacant and beside other women.
“There were women crying and women with children who may have been fleeing the war in Ukraine.
“They used very sexualised language and it was uncomfortable for everyone.”
Mr Dooley said anyone that is disruptive on flights should be placed on a watch list and find it difficult to ever fly again.
He said: “For characters like this there should be a lifetime ban on air travel and never be in a position to traumatise air passengers again.”
He told how he was travelling with Fianna Fail MEP Billy Kelleher and a cameraman.
The staff on board the Buzz flight, which is owned by Ryanair, requested help from the politician to calm the situation on board.
Mr Dooley said: “I have to commend the flight attendant and all staff on board for their professionalism in handling the situation given the level of activity on board the flight.
“The air steward was very discreet when they asked for assistance and we were asked to go and sit beside the men to talk to them and try and calm them down.
“I have to praise the Ryanair staff on board who were really professional and were clearly trained to the highest level of dealing with these difficult situations.”
A Garda spokeswoman confirmed that gardai attended to a public order incident in Dublin Airport on Tuesday and two males were arrested.
She said they were taken to Dublin Airport Garda Station where they were later released but that “investigations are ongoing.”
A spokeswoman for Ryanair said: “The crew of this flight from Krakow to Dublin called ahead for Garda assistance on arrival after 3 passengers became disruptive inflight.
“The aircraft landed normally, and gardai removed these passengers before the remainder of the passengers safely disembarked the aircraft.” | https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/arrests-young-woman-groped-drunk-23708842 | 2022-04-16T16:10:58Z | https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/arrests-young-woman-groped-drunk-23708842 | false | 5 |
ARMUCHEE, Ga. (AP) — Police say a northwest Georgia man killed his grandmother by stuffing her in a freezer while she was still alive.
Floyd County Police discovered the body of Doris Cumming, 82, late Thursday in the Armuchee home she shared with her grandson, 29-year-old Robert Keith Tincher III.
Fincher was charged with murder, aggravated battery and concealing the death of another. He remains jailed in Rome. It's unclear if he has a lawyer who could comment on his behalf.
Police said Cumming's family believed she had moved out of state, but grew concerned after not hearing from her and reported she might be missing.
Police said they believe that Cumming was injured in a fall in December and that instead of getting her medical attention, Fincher dragged her through home. A warrant says Fincher “heard and saw numerous bones break." He then wrapped her in plastic bags and placed her in a large freezer.
"From what we determined, at the time, he believed she was still breathing and had some movement at the time she was going into the freezer," said Floyd County Investigator Brittany Werner told WAGA-TV.
Fincher continued living in the home with the body inside the freezer for months, but moved it to a storage unit in March, fearing Cumming's body might be found.
Werner said Tincher told police he didn’t call 911 because he was wanted for arrest because of terroristic threats made in 2018 against his wife.
Tincher also told investigators how much he loved his grandmother.
“He said she was the only family member that gave him the courtesy and love and attention he needed,” said Werner.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is conducting an autopsy to determine Cumming's cause and time of death. | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/georgia-man-accused-of-leaving-grandmother-in-freezer-to-die/KYQT3GNV4NGADNX2U5AAUTGYHM/ | 2022-04-16T16:11:44Z | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/georgia-man-accused-of-leaving-grandmother-in-freezer-to-die/KYQT3GNV4NGADNX2U5AAUTGYHM/ | false | 32 |

In addition we all want our gardens to look their best so here are a few tips to get the most out of your garden space from Christine Gouldthorp, consumer expert at price and product comparison site PriceRunner.
A lick of paint is one of the easiest and most effective ways to change the look and feel of a room without heavy duty drilling or plastering. Also, if it isn’t broken, fix it. Before you throw furniture away try giving it a facelift.
The annual spring-clean is a great chance to clear out the old, declutter and make rooms feel as good as new.
In addition, having the right tools for the job will avoid disaster. Preparation is key.
If you need a shovel, wheelbarrow, pitchfork or a spade, January and February are the cheapest months to buy them. November is also when a lot of products reach their cheapest prices and go on sale for Black Friday. | https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/lifestyle/outdoors/what-is-it-you-want-most-from-your-spring-garden-10-of-the-best-3655724 | 2022-04-16T16:13:37Z | https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/lifestyle/outdoors/what-is-it-you-want-most-from-your-spring-garden-10-of-the-best-3655724 | false | 20 |
More than two dozen colleges and universities are getting ready to note the accomplishments of the Ukrainian president with honorary degrees this spring.
Those schools include RIT, which said this week it will confer honorary degrees to four outstanding individuals at its commencement ceremony on May 6.
The university said that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be among them. He will receive an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters “for his bravery, leadership, and compelling communications to motivate his citizens and the broader world in defense of freedom and democracy.”
Zelenskyy will not be attending the ceremony, but earlier this month, Alfred University president Mark Zupan, who helped organize these institutions of higher learning in the effort to award honorary degrees to the Ukrainian president, told WXXI News that he was hopeful that if Zelenskyy learns more about this effort, he might do some sort of video that could be distributed to accept these honors.
On Friday, Zupan said that 26 colleges and universities so far agreed to confer honorary degrees to Zelenskyy.
Meanwhile, local efforts to raise money and other support for people in Ukraine suffering due to the Russian invasion continues. The Ukrainian Federal Credit Union in Rochester has announced that it will donate $50,000 dollars to the Ukrainian American Community Foundation, which supports a variety of community, cultural and humanitarian initiatives.
Other notable individuals that RIT said will receive honorary degrees on May 6 include:
Kimberly Bryant, founder of the nonprofit organization Black Girls CODE, will earn an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters for her dedication to social change in technology fields. Bryant will also deliver the keynote address for RIT’s Academic Convocation ceremony starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 6, in the Gordon Field House and Activities Center.
Josephine King Olsen, former director of the Peace Corps, will earn an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters for her lifelong commitment to volunteer service.
Peter Jemison, a member of the Heron clan of the Seneca Nation of Indians and a leader in the community, will earn an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters for his dedication to enhancing opportunities for Native American populations. | https://www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2022-04-16/rit-to-confer-four-honorary-degrees-one-of-them-to-the-ukrainian-president | 2022-04-16T16:14:05Z | https://www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2022-04-16/rit-to-confer-four-honorary-degrees-one-of-them-to-the-ukrainian-president | true | 1 |
Warren Buffett says he is in excellent health and has no plans to step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway as he eagerly anticipates what could be a record turnout at the company’s annual meeting on April 30.
The 91-year-old Buffett, in an interview running an hour and 14 minutes with Charlie Rose released Thursday, said that he “couldn’t be in better health.” Asked about a successor, Buffett said there is one in place—an apparent reference to Berkshire Hathaway (ticker BRK.A and BRK.B) executive Greg Abel.
Four years in the wake of being terminated from CBS in the midst of lewd behavior claims, Charlie Rose has reappeared in the public eye through a broad meeting with industry mogul Warren Buffett.
The meeting seemed this Thursday on Rose’s own site, which likewise includes authentic meetings he directed during his experience as a CBS commentator. On the landing page of the site, Rose takes note of this as the main meeting he’s done in more than four years and suggests that this will be the first of a few autonomous meetings he will lead.
“I’m glad to impart this new discussion to Warren Buffett,” Rose states on the site. “It is his first meeting on camera in close to 12 months and the main I’ve done in over four years. It is a stage in an excursion to draw in the most fascinating individuals and investigate the most convincing thoughts on the planet.”
In 2017, a broad report from the Washington Post saw eight ladies blame Rose for inappropriate behavior, with a few asserting that he grabbed them or settled on unwanted prurient decisions toward them.
Following the distribution of the Washington Post story, CBS suspended him, alongside Bloomberg and PBS, which delivered his long-running nominal meeting television show. He would rapidly be terminated from CBS, and his PBS show was dropped.
Rose’s retribution occurred from the beginning of the #MeToo development, with the report of his supposed provocation coming out months following the New York Times’ examination of Harvey Weinstein.
Rose’s meeting with Buffett doesn’t specify any of the claims that finished his terms at CBS and PBS. The drawn-out discussion rather centers around Buffett’s vocation as director and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, the Omaha, Neb. aggregate that claims noticeable organizations like GEICO, Duracell, and Dairy Queen. During the meeting, Rose additionally asked Buffett, the fifth-most affluent individual on the planet, his perspective on other noticeable multi-very rich people, including Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. | https://techstory.in/warren-buffett-says-he-has-no-plans-to-step-down-as-berkshire-ceo-to-charlie-rose/ | 2022-04-16T16:14:56Z | https://techstory.in/warren-buffett-says-he-has-no-plans-to-step-down-as-berkshire-ceo-to-charlie-rose/ | true | 1 |

Nicola Sturgeon has said the “horrendous abuse” some women in the public eye face must stop after a Scottish Government scientific adviser revealed she was sent white powder in the post.
Professor Devi Sridhar, who sits on the Scottish Government’s coronavirus advisory board, was sent a used facemask marked with the words “I am done” in black ink and a small amount of white powder last July, The Times reported.
Prof Sridhar has commented on issues including vaccines and face coverings during the pandemic and has been subjected to abuse on social media.
However she told The Times that receiving something through the post felt different.
Prof Sridhar told the newspaper: “I was extremely shaken and it was probably the hardest part because it was in my real life, not virtual or online.
“I have thought often about withdrawing but it feels like, for better or worse, my job now also has a public dimension. Hopefully it’s helpful to have scientists out there explaining things for most people.”
She is a professor of global public health at Edinburgh University.
Scotland’s First Minister Ms Sturgeon said Prof Sridhar has been a “voice of reason” throughout the pandemic and said abuse has to stop.
Asked about the incident involving the white powder, Ms Sturgeon told the PA news agency: “Obviously that is awful – I’m not going to go into the detail of that because that’s obviously for the appropriate authorities to look into.
“But Devi is an example of a high-profile, vocal woman who gets horrendous abuse through social media – she’s not alone in that but I know she has received that.
“Sometimes that abuse seems to be all the greater because she has been an adviser to my Government – a hugely important and valuable adviser to my Government, but one that has given very straight and at times uncomfortable advice to me and to my Government.
“She has been a real voice of reason and good sense throughout this pandemic, but like many women who put their heads above the parapet they face the most horrendous abuse and it’s got to stop.
“Social media companies and others really have to be part of putting a stop to it.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/04/16/sturgeon-praises-adviser-reportedly-sent-white-powder-and-says-abuse-must-stop/ | 2022-04-16T16:23:21Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/04/16/sturgeon-praises-adviser-reportedly-sent-white-powder-and-says-abuse-must-stop/ | true | 5 |
HONG KONG (AP) — One person was killed and seven others injured Saturday in an explosion aboard an oil tanker in waters off Hong Kong, authorities reported.
The Hong Kong Maritime Rescue Coordination Center said the tanker was 300 kilometers (186 miles) east of Hong Kong when it caught fire as a result of an explosion. The fire was extinguished, according to state-run Radio Television Hong Kong.
The Government Flying Service sent a fixed-wing aircraft and two helicopters with doctors aboard to the Panama-registered Chuang Yi vessel to transport the injured to a hospital in the city. One crew member was reported to have died and four others were in serious condition, RTHK reported.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear.
The casualties reportedly included crew members from Indonesia and Myanmar.
According to ship tracking apps, the 5,500-ton oil and chemical tanker was on its way to Taiwan. The 120-meter (393-foot) long tanker is 22 years old. | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/1-dead-7-injured-in-explosion-aboard-tanker-off-hong-kong/O5BFPOI2ARD5FNRQ4XRUSRSTSM/ | 2022-04-16T16:31:29Z | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/1-dead-7-injured-in-explosion-aboard-tanker-off-hong-kong/O5BFPOI2ARD5FNRQ4XRUSRSTSM/ | true | 22 |
PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron held a major campaign rally Saturday in Marseille, touting his environmental and climate actions and plans in a bid to draw in young voters who supported more politically extreme candidates in the first round of France’s presidential election.
Citizens and especially millennials in Marseille, a multicultural southern French city on the Mediterranean, favored hard-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon over the centrist Macron in the April 10 first round of voting. Marseille’s young voters, who leaned mainly to the far right and the far left last Sunday, are particularly engaged with climate issues — a point which Macron hoped to capitalize on in a rousing speech on the edge of the glistening sea.
Macron is facing off against far-right challenger Marine Le Pen in France’s April 24 presidential runoff after 10 other candidates, including Melenchon, were eliminated in the first round.
Macron has mixed green credentials, something he hopes to improve on. Although he was associated with the slogan “Make The Planet Great Again,” in his first five-tear term he capitulated to angry yellow vest protesters by scrapping a tax hike on fuel prices.
To cheers on Saturday, Macron said his next prime minister would be placed in charge of “ecological planning” ahead of a plan for France to become carbon neutral by 2050. He also promised more public transport nationwide to wean people off being dependent on cars.
Even though Macron come out on top in the first round of voting, the 44-year-old incumbent has publicly acknowledged that “nothing is decided” in the increasingly tight race to become France’s next leader. In Marseille, he targeted his rival Le Pen, who has gained increasing support in recent weeks.
“The far-right represents a danger for our country. Don’t just hiss at it, knock it out,” he said, citing the danger of over-confident voters abstaining from a ballot in the vital runoff vote.
Le Pen spent Saturday reaching out to voters in Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre, a village in the northwestern France, where she visited an antiques market.
While campaigning Friday, both candidates were grilled over their differing stances on Muslim religious dress in public spaces — Le Pen wants to ban headscarves in France, a country that has Europe’s largest Muslim population. Both Le Pen and Macron were confronted by women in headscarves who asked why their clothing choices should be caught up in politics.
Across France, protesters are railing against a host of issues ahead of the second and final presidential vote.
In the center of Paris on Saturday, environmental group Extinction Rebellion launched a three-day demonstration against what they call France’s inaction on climate issues. The activists say their objective is “to put climate issues back at the center of the presidential debate.”
Hundreds of activists from the environmental group XR are also asking both presidential candidates to make commitments to protect the environment.

AUSTIN, Texas — Two Austin police officers are at Dell Seton Saturday morning after a woman suspected of drunk driving reportedly hit them, according to the Austin Police Department Command Watch. Their injuries are being described as severe but non-life-threatening.
It happened just before 3 a.m. in the Red River Cultural District, near East 7th Street and Red River. The woman is accused of driving while intoxicated and is expected to face multiple charges.
The Austin Police Department said they will disclose the officers' identities at a later time.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — On the surface, all the familiar ceremonial trappings were in place for the event.
The reading of proclamations announcing April 9 as Bataan Remembrance Day. The playing of taps. Speeches honoring the legacy of the New Mexicans who gave their lives fighting, struggling to survive, dying far from home in a campaign ringed with deprivation, starvation and torture.
Still, Saturday’s morning commemoration of the April 4, 1942, fall of Bataan — the 80th anniversary — was missing something.
Bataan survivors.
For the first time since the New Mexico National Guard began hosting the Santa Fe event in the mid-1980s, none of them attended, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported.
Age, infirmity and death have taken their toll on almost all of the survivors. The New Mexico Department of Veteran Services believes there may only be about five of those men still living around the country. And the event was not held live over the past two years because of the health restrictions surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
Yet, watching the hourlong ceremony attended by about 100 people play out outside the Bataan Memorial Building, Fred Armijo, son of the late Bataan U.S. Army veteran Manuel Armijo, said he has no concern the legacy of those Bataan soldiers will be forgotten.
“I plan on keeping it alive,” he said, adding, in a joking fashion, “I plan to live to 100.”
The commemoration is held near a stone monument honoring the Bataan campaign, and Armjio said as long as that monument remains, people won’t forget.
He is well aware of his father’s role in keeping the history of Bataan alive.
Manuel Armijo, a first sergeant with the 200th Coast Artillery, is credited with initiating the annual commemoration in the postwar years. Some sources say he started it in 1946, silently standing outside a downtown government building while holding a white flag in his hands. Other sources put that date at 1953.
Regardless, the annual April 9 event has become something of a cornerstone military memorial event, a day to remember a generation of young New Mexicans — some still teenagers — who left the comfort of hometown America to wage war in some faraway place few had heard of.
Little could they have known, having entered the military before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor thrust the United States into World War II, they would become part of one of the most violent and tragic stories of New Mexico’s military history.
The Battle of Bataan in the Philippines — the first major military campaign of the Asian theater in World War II following the Pearl Harbor attack — took a huge toll on New Mexico.
Of the 1,800-plus New Mexican soldiers who fought in the battle, only half came home alive. And many of them, survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March and Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, came back physically, mentally and emotionally scarred.
From Dec. 8, 1941, to April 9, 1942, those 1,800 New Mexico soldiers fought alongside Filipinos and other Americans to fight off Japanese invaders on the Bataan peninsula. On April 9, Bataan’s military commanders surrendered, though the soldiers wanted to fight on, despite a lack of weapons, food and medicine.
Most of the American and Filipino defenders were killed, captured or forced to march 65 miles through the jungle. Japanese soldiers used their bayonets and bullets along the way to kill the weak, wounded and defiant ones on what became known as the Bataan Death March.
Manuel Armijo, like so many of the men who survived that ordeal, did not like to talk about what he endured, his son said. But Vincent Lithgow, Manuel Armijo’s grandson, recalled as a child sleeping over at this grandparents’ home and hearing his grandfather erupt in pain — at night.
“He screamed in English, he screamed in Spanish, he screamed in Japanese,” said Lithgow, who also attended Saturday’s memorial event.
His daughter, Rachel Lithgow, only recalls her great grandfather as a little, wizened old man.
“It was hard to imagine him being young,” she said after Saturday’s ceremony. “It’s hard to imagine his incredible heartbreak.”
She, too, feels the Bataan story will be carried on long after the last descendants of any of the soldiers who fought it have died. Though she lives in Las Cruces, Lithgow said she visits the Bataan monument every time she comes to Santa Fe. It represents “a deep rooted sense of connection to New Mexico history.”
“There’s a lot of him here,” she said as she looked at the monument.
Manuel Armijo died in June 2004 at the age of 92, his son said. His mother, Frances Armijo, lived almost six more years, dying in April 2010.
She died April 9, in fact.
“Here’s my take on it,” Fred Armijo said of that date. “My dad came for her.” | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/New-Mexico-Bataan-veterans-remembered-but-few-17085364.php | 2022-04-16T16:42:13Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/New-Mexico-Bataan-veterans-remembered-but-few-17085364.php | true | 14 |

No way back? Arsenal's season at breaking point after Southampton leave Champions League dream in tatters
Match statistics: Southampton 1-0 Arsenal
Just when you thought it could not get any worse…
After two successive defeats in the Premier League, Arsenal arrived at Southampton on Saturday in what appeared to be the last chance saloon in terms of the race for the top four.
Editors' Picks
- Liverpool and Manchester City's run-ins: Where the Premier League title will be won and lost

- 'We can sleep in the summer!' - Liverpool fans ready for travel chaos for Wembley showdown with Man City

But Tottenham’s surprise defeat at home to Brighton in the lunchtime kick-off suddenly saw the door for possible Champions League qualification swing back open again for Mikel Arteta’s side.
With games now running out, it was a chance they simply had to take. But instead they fluffed their lines - again.
There was perhaps a slight improvement on the performances against Crystal Palace and Brighton, but this is an Arsenal side that now looks devoid of quality and ideas.
They dominated possession at St Mary’s, but could not find a way back after Jan Bednarek had given the hosts the lead on the stroke of half-time.
They had their chances, with Southampton keeper Fraser Forster making a string of saves, including two incredible stops to deny Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.
But with so much on the line and with Spurs having slipped up, this just was not good enough from Arsenal. This was their chance to get back in the mix, but instead they slipped further into disarray.
Arteta’s side have now lost four of their last five Premier League games and have scored just two goals in the process.
They have capitulated at the business end of the season and could end up missing out on qualification for the Europa League if they do not turn things around quickly.
They have now slipped to sixth in the table, with Manchester United moving above them following their win against Norwich. They could even end the weekend in seventh, if West Ham beat Burnley on Sunday.
It has been a nightmare few weeks for Arteta’s side and they now face games against Chelsea and United in the next seven days.
They must win at least one of those to keep any hopes they may still have alive - but on current evidence that looks extremely unlikely.
After the debacle against Brighton last weekend, Arteta brought Nuno Tavares back into the side at left-back and restored Granit Xhaka to the midfield.
It was a change that brought about a much more assured performance from Arsenal, but they still lacked any sort of cutting edge in the final third.
With Alexandre Lacazette missing due to Covid, Eddie Nketiah got a rare start as the central striker and some good play from him helped set up a golden chance for Saka midway through the first half.
Arsenal’s top scorer looked certain to score after being found by Gabriel Martinelli, but somehow Forster threw out an arm and pushed the England international’s shot over from point blank range.
That became a familiar theme, with Forster providing an impenetrable barrier for Arsenal.
After Bednarek had given the hosts a lead to protect just before half-time, Forster did superbly to keep out Smith Rowe and Xhaka, while Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli sent efforts wide when well placed.
The sight of an Arsenal player standing with his head in his hands in front of goal is now becoming an all too familiar theme.
By the time the full-time whistle had blown at St Mary’s, the visitors had fired in 23 efforts in goal, 19 of which came in the second half.
But as has been the way for much of the season, they were unable to convert those chances into goals.
A lack of firepower always looked like it might undo Arsenal’s hopes this season, especially when they let Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave in January without bringing in a replacement.
And that is how things are now turning out. At the point of the season when you have to take your chances, Arsenal have been found wanting.
They have scored just once in their last three games, and even that came from a deflection.
From their last 73 attempts on goal, Arsenal have scored just twice. That is simply not good enough and it has left them with a mountain to climb during the final weeks of the campaign.
A season that promised so much is now in danger of total collapse, and on this evidence Arteta appears unable to avert to slide. | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/arsenal-season-breaking-point-southampton-champions-league-dream-/blt3386195bf47a70e5 | 2022-04-16T16:47:40Z | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/arsenal-season-breaking-point-southampton-champions-league-dream-/blt3386195bf47a70e5 | false | 9 |
Which mittens for kids are best?
It’s important to choose warm mittens for kids, not just to keep your children’s hands warm but so that you don’t have to listen all winter to them complaining about having cold hands. This way your child will be happy, you’ll be happy and you can enjoy some cold-weather fun.
Think about how warm your child’s mittens need to be and whether waterproofing would come in handy. Burton Youth Vent Mittens are great for winter sports and very cold weather.
What to know before you buy mittens for kids
Knit vs. waterproof
You’ll find two main types of mittens: knit mittens and waterproof mittens. Which your child needs depends on the weather where you are.
- Waterproof: If you live where ice and snow are realities for much of the winter, waterproof mittens are a must-have. Whether sledding, having snowball fights or simply trying to walk to school without freezing, your kid will have dry hands. The mittens should also be well-insulated for warmth.
- Knit: Knit mittens can be chunky or thin, made from wool or synthetic yarn. They’re great for chilly but fairly dry days where bulky waterproof mittens would be unnecessarily warm and restrictive.
Size
Unless they’re extremely stretchy, kids mittens aren’t one-size-fits-all. Rather, they come in several sizes to fit children of most ages.
Some manufacturers list the sizes by age group, which makes it easier to find the right size. Others list named sizes, such as small, medium and large. In these cases, you’ll need to check the sizing chart to find mittens that will fit your little one.
Length
Standard mittens reach around wrist length, but longer versions can reach the mid-forearm. Extra-long mittens are usually waterproof , so this offers some additional protection from moisture that comes in handy when digging around in the snow to form the perfect snowball.
What to look for in quality mittens for kids
Connecting string
Some mittens have a string that connects the two. This string is designed to be threaded through the arms of a coat, behind the wearer’s back. It means that if kids take their mittens off while playing, they won’t drop to the floor and get wet or lost. These strings are sometimes fixed and sometimes detachable.
Elastic or adjustable wrists
Mittens should have elastic or an adjustable strap at the wrist to help get a good fit, keep the mittens from sliding off and to keep snow from getting inside. Elastic is convenient but can lose its stretch over time, while adjustable straps let wearers get the fit just right but add an extra step to putting them on.
Ease of cleaning
Ideally, choose mittens that are machine-washable and can either be tumble dried or will air dry quickly.
Touchscreen compatible
While it might not be a concern for young kids, older children may need touchscreen compatible mittens so they can more easily use their phone while out and about. It’s still somewhat awkward to use a phone while wearing touchscreen-compatible mittens, but it isn’t impossible.
How much you can expect to spend on mittens for kids
Most cost roughly $5-$20, but some high-end kids mittens cost as much as $50 a pair.
Mittens for kids FAQ
Are mittens better than gloves for kids?
A. Both have their pros and cons. While gloves let kids retain more dexterity and fine motor skills, mittens keep hands warmer by not separating the fingers and are easier to get on. For most kids, mittens are a better choice, unless they’re taking part in activities that require use of their fingers individually or that just aren’t possible in mittens.
How do you get mittens on young kids?
A. It can be a nightmare getting mittens on toddlers or young children when they don’t want to comply. It’s easier if the mittens open up widely at the wrist so you don’t have to squeeze a child’s hand into them.
Some parents and caregivers make it into a game. For instance, you could say, “I bet you can’t get your mittens on before I count to 10.” Or you could hold the mitten open and suggest the child touches your nose through the mitten, encouraging them to stick their hand straight in there.

Liverpool and Manchester City are set to face each other for the second time in a week as the pair will compete in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley at 3:30 today.
This is a huge tie for both teams, as it means Liverpool will not win the quadruple if Man City win and City’s treble hopes will be dashed should the Reds prevail.
It has been an incredible season for both up to this point and could today’s game be the turning point in the race for the other trophies that the sides are competing in as well?
It is a stunning day outside Wembley and it is what you would call perfect football weather.
Here are some images of the atmosphere and scenes around Wembley.
