STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Bees play a part in every aspect of the ecosystem with beekeeping being a hobby or full-time career for some Mississippians.
To bring awareness to the insects' importance and offer beekeeping classes and workshops, Mississippi State University constructed a new apiary, which will officially open in a few weeks. It will be housed at the Clay Lyle Entomology Complex as a partnership between MSU Extension Service and Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station.
MAFES researcher Priya Chakrabarti Basu, who will be the primary teacher for beekeeping classes, said it will enhance bee research and teaching activities, while giving bees a permanent home at MSU.
“This apiary is geared toward having our own base at Mississippi State University so that we can more easily, safely and conveniently train and teach people about bees while doing research,” Basu said.
MSU has always had bees at the entomology complex but not in this capacity. Audrey Sheridan, Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant Pathology Apiculture Extension and MAFES research associate, said having the bees out in the open and unprotected caused two problems for the bees — vandalism of the beehives and no visual barrier between the bees and the public.
“What we had to do in the past was trek the bees in and out whenever we did a workshop, and that was very laborious,” Sheridan said. “It’s actually pretty hard on the bees as well.”
With the help of Extension bee specialist Jeff Harris and MSU Delta Research and Extension Center Head Jeff Gore, Basu and Sheridan worked diligently over the last four months to make their dream of an on-site bee apiary a reality. The 768-square foot permanent fixture with at least 12 hives will give people a place to observe bees in a safe environment, Basu said.
Beekeeping classes and workshops will be offered through Extension and taught by Harris. People interested in raising bees can attend the workshops and learn skills ranging from beginning beekeeping to queen rearing.
“The workshops are a combination of a field component which is outside in the apiary, plus we have a big monitor set up in the lobby where we will teach classes to groups,” Sheridan said.
Along with classes for the general public, Basu will teach a bee biology class beginning this fall to MSU students at the apiary. This will be a semester-long class and taught online.
“Anybody can sign up for this class through Mississippi State University,” Basu said. “Anyone can take it. I’ve actually taught this course in the past through Oregon State University, and we’ve had computer science or engineering students come take a full bee biology class.”
Both Basu and Sheridan work in bee research. Sheridan said she hopes the apiary will not only generate new information regarding beekeeping, but put MSU on the map for pollinator research.
The apiary will also allow MSU to make its own honey. Sheridan said MSU graduate students will prepare the honey from the hives and sell it at the Starkville Community Farmers Market, using the profits for graduate student scholarships.
Basu said she believes the apiary will be a great way to create a partnership between MSU, Extension and the local community. She and Sheridan are looking for other ways to bring people to the apiary, such as hosting events with high school students and the possibility of having a bee summer camp.
“We are trying to spread pollinator awareness and teach the community about bees,” Basu said. “We want to talk to kids about bees, teach them about bees. This is not just for MSU, but also the community. I think this would be a great bridge to help not only spread information about what we do as researchers and Extension agents, but also spread pollinator awareness.” | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/New-apiary-creating-buzz-at-Mississippi-State-17086179.php | 2022-04-17T05:58:29Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/New-apiary-creating-buzz-at-Mississippi-State-17086179.php | false | 16 |
package it.matoff.zattocattaaasv.util\n \n// Slight adjustment from Scala StringUtils because this seems necessary since \"None <-> Non-zero return\" doesn't appear to\n// do well for other collections\nprivate macro genSeq_ImplMacro(xs:[TreeDefn]*s : TermName : TreeM.TreeMac[String : T.TreeMisc[_ 3, Unit[List: List, LONDON – The tame back pass from John Stones trickled toward Zack Steffen. Just a simple clearance was needed by Manchester City’s backup goalkeeper with Liverpool already leading.
One touch controlled the pass. The second touch was ... doing what? The dawdling American just took too long.
Before the ball could be hoofed clear, Sadio Mane raced into the penalty area and slid in to nudge the ball over the line.
“It is an accident," City manager Pep Guardiola said. “It happens.”
Liverpool moved into a two-goal lead — building on Ibrahima Konate’s header — and Mane scored again before halftime with a volley beating Steffen at his near post. A 3-2 victory was secured at Wembley Stadium on Saturday after withstanding a City comeback with Jack Grealish scoring two minutes into the second half and Bernardo Silva netting in stoppage time.
Liverpool is into its first FA Cup final in 10 years, and Chelsea or Crystal Palace await next month.
The quadruple is still on also for Liverpool.
But there’s only two paths to trophies for City, and Liverpool could thwart both.
Their tussle for the English Premier League trophy is far tighter than this FA Cup semifinal suggested, where Liverpool’s superiority was clear in the first half before goals from Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva gave hope of a City comeback.
Their 2-2 draw last Sunday in the league prevented Liverpool from moving into first place, and left City a point in front.
There could yet be a fourth instalment of this rivalry this season in Paris next month if they win semifinals to reach the Champions League final. That would see Liverpool contest three finals in 2022 having already won the League Cup at Wembley.
The strain on the squads meant Liverpool and City made seven changes from their Champions League quarterfinal wins in midweek, and Jürgen Klopp's side had the greater depth to prevail in the heat of London.
“We started very well, we pressed them high and the goalkeeper made the mistake," Mane said. “The performance of the team was fantastic."
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CHASE
City and Liverpool look sure to qualify for the Champions League again. The rest of the Premier League's top four is more up for grabs, with Manchester United's pursuit helped by Tottenham and Arsenal losing.
Cristiano Ronaldo's hat trick secured a 3-2 victory over Norwich after the last-placed team fought back from two goals down. United moved above Arsenal and into fifth place.
Tottenham is still fourth but only three points ahead of United after Leandro Trossard’s goal in the 90th minute gave Brighton a 1-0 win in north London.
Arsenal is on the slide. A fourth loss in five games was inflicted by Southampton with Jan Bednarek sealing a 1-0 win.
PREMIER LEAGUE RELEGATION
Watford slipped closer to relegation after losing 2-1 to Brentford, which moved into 11th place in its first Premier League campaign. Pontus Jansson scored the winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Ragan Smith didn’t hear a thing. Not her Oklahoma teammates. Not coach K.J. Kindler. Not the roar of the crowd as the perfect score on floor exercise by Florida’s Trinity Thomas flashed.
Nothing.
A long career in gymnastics taught Smith to block it all out when you’re standing on the balance beam. The noise. The stakes. The standings. All of it.
“I was so locked in,” Smith said.
Sure looked like it.
Smith completed Oklahoma’s rally from last after one rotation to the program’s fifth national title on Saturday, her steely 9.9625 serving as the exclamation point as the Sooners edged Florida, Utah and Auburn in a taut final.
A year after finishing second to Michigan by less than a tenth, Oklahoma’s score of 198.2 was just enough to slip by the Gators (198.075), followed by the Utes (197.750) and the Tigers (197.350), who put together the best season in program history following the arrival of Olympic champion Sunisa Lee.
Finishing the meet with a raucous celebration is not exactly how Kindler thought things would work out for the Sooners after a so-so performance on floor that included Smith and teammate Jordan Bowers stepping out of bounds and left the Sooners staring up at the rest of the field after the first rotation.
Only briefly, as it turned out.
“What fight, what heart they had to fight back after floor,” Kindler said. “They didn’t count themselves out (and) pushed, not just on vault, but every single event after that.”
Oklahoma ended up posting the top team score on each of the other three events, hardly panicking despite knowing whatever margin for error it had was gone. Katherine Levasseur’s brilliant 9.9750 on vault provided a jolt and the Sooners were on their way.
“We caught fire on vault and I felt like we kept momentum in our favor from that point forward,” Kindler said. “But I mean, we had to swing momentum to begin with. So really proud of the way they just kept feeding off each other.”
Kindler sensed her team was rolling, so she did something she rarely does: she faded into the background, even with a title hanging in the balance.
“Sometimes you have to know when to not talk,” she said.
Even if it meant ditching her patented pre-beam pep talk. Kindler typically leans over to talk to each athlete before the event, giving last-minute pointers, maybe a little bit of motivation and whatever else she thinks the moment requires. The moment this time around required her to let her leaders do their job.
Senior Carly Woodard had been doing it all season. She came across a popular gymnastics blog early in the year and found a post that predicted it was safe to count the Sooners out.
“I saw that and immediately sent it to my senior class and was like, ‘What are we going to do about this?’” Woodard said.
Woodard printed it out and posted it in several spots in the team facility back in Norman, including the team refrigerator, a constant reminder that despite the program’s remarkable success — this week marked Oklahoma’s ninth straight trip to the national semifinals — doubters remained.
Consider them gone now thanks in part to a serious dose of grit from Smith. The 2017 U.S. national champion and an alternate on the 2016 Olympic and 2018 world championship teams went up last on beam. Moments earlier Thomas had put together her 12th perfect routine of the season, a dazzling floor exercise that drew the Gators within a tenth of a point.
The Florida fans began chanting “10! 10!” as she finished, and when the judges obliged, the roar reverberated across the Dickie’s Arena floor. Barely 50 feet away, Smith didn’t even notice. The same thing had happened earlier in the season when the Sooners faced the Gators in Gainesville. Smith posted a 9.875 just as Thomas dropped a 10.
Florida ended up winning that night. Smith made sure it didn’t happen again. She sprinted to her teammates following her dismount, and when her score assured the Sooners that they wouldn’t be caught, the 21-year-old was mobbed.
“I’ve never experienced this much team love before,” Smith said, her national championship trophy sitting next to her microphone as she spoke. “Everyone had my back.”
Thomas, who competed against Smith when the two were in elite gymnastics together, said Smith “knows how to get it done” but praised her teammates for pushing the Sooners to the limit.
“We went out there and we gave it all we had and we did our thing,” Thomas said. “We are still runners up, so I’m super proud of this team.”
Lee finished off a historic season by helping Auburn to its best finish in program history. Her all-around total of 36.250 was second-best of the day behind Thomas, just as it was during Thursday’s semifinals.
The 19-year-old star spent the aftermath taking selfies with fans before disappearing down a tunnel. Who knows when she’ll be seen on the competition floor again.
She plans to return to elite training, perhaps sooner rather than later. Either way, her impact on the Tigers will linger. Auburn was ranked 14th in the preseason. On the last day of the season, they were competing for a title. that’s progress.
“We proved tonight that we were in the Final Four conversation,” coach Jeff Graba said, “and that we weren’t an anomaly.”

A charity football match in Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire, has raised £2,485 for mental health charity, Mind.
St Margaretsbury player, Tony Smith, organised the event at the club’s recreation ground on Saturday, April 9.
The match was dedicated to the memory of Rob Teppett, who sadly took his own life in January 2020.
Rob's mum, Wendie Teppett, attended the event and was presented with a shirt with Rob’s name and shirt number on to mark the occasion.
Tony said: "I feel like now more than ever is the time to talk and help people who are struggling with mental health.
"I also want to play my part in helping to reduce the stigma associated with admitting you need help with your mental health, as people shouldn’t feel ashamed to talk."
The players were from previous St Margaretsbury or Harlow-based teams that Tony has played with over his adult career.
The match ended with a 2 - 0 win for the Harlow team, and a special moment took place when Tony scored the second goal and ran to the bench to lift and display Rob’s shirt.
Tony added: “I’d like to thank everyone involved, as it was just a fantastic day, fully supported by St Margaretsbury FC that everyone involved enjoyed, and funds were raised for a cause very close to my heart."

Communities rally to raise $20,000 in Walk to d'Feet MND
Forbes and its neighbouring towns have raised an incredible $20,000 - and counting - to support people living with motor neurone disease.
The Walk to d'Feet MND made a successful return to Lake Forbes on Sunday, April 10.
Kym Neilsen, MND NSW fundraising manager, said numbers were a little down on previous years but the support and community spirit shone.
There were 55 participants made up of family and friends who walked the 5km route around the lake.
They went the extra mile in their fundraising, with more than $20,000 raised by Monday morning.
"What a fantastic effort by all involved," Ms Neilsen said.
"A special thank you to Duncan Stockcrates and the Duncan family who are wonderful supporters of this event and to the Forbes Lions Club for their yummy sausage sizzle also raising funds for MND NSW.
"Our focus for 2022 is to continue to improve the support available for people living in regional and rural areas and we couldn't do that without the amazing local support we receive." | https://www.parkeschampionpost.com.au/story/7700750/communities-rally-to-raise-20000-in-walk-to-dfeet-mnd/ | 2022-04-17T06:40:01Z | https://www.parkeschampionpost.com.au/story/7700750/communities-rally-to-raise-20000-in-walk-to-dfeet-mnd/ | true | 2 |

In Harris County, 8,571 people are incarcerated – 7,560 of those awaiting trial. That means 1,011 in the Harris County jail have been convicted or found guilty of a crime. The rest are either waiting for trial or unable to afford a bond. So, what exactly is this issue regarding bail or bonds?
When someone is arrested or accused of a crime, the court will assign a bail amount as a guarantee of that persons return to court. A bondsman will take percentage of the bail amount and provide a bond so the accused may get out of jail. It is a common misconception that bond is solely associated with the type of offense that is committed or is supposed to be a form of punishment. However, the O’Donnell v. Harris County lawsuit caused Houston to re-evaluate their bail and bond practices.
New laws in Texas say that an indigent (poor) arrestee that is accused of a misdemeanor must have a bail hearing within 48 hours. Any indigent person who is not provided an individualized hearing within 48 hours must be released. County judges did not find a link between a person’s financial situation and their ability to appear at trial or engage in law-abiding behavior. Depending on the offense, they may have to receive a GPS monitor or a device that monitors alcohol consumption and no financial obligation at all. That is the case with misdemeanors, like assault or driving while intoxicated.
What about aggravated robbery, aggravated assault, rape, or murder? The courts are assigning bond amounts as permitted by the law. The focus needs to shift towards the local bond companies. Houston bond companies collect as low as 2% or up to 10% with a payment plan. That means with a $100,000 bond, they’ll take as low as $2,000, high as $10,000. The outcome is two-fold.
On one hand, people who are wrongfully accused or have a job or family to maintain can resume their life in the “outside world” while the charges get sorted out. A lot of people are arrested for misunderstandings within the family or abuse of power by police. Sometimes, it takes a little legal sorting out before the offense can be resolved or dismissed. If you’re stuck in jail unable to afford a bond on a situation that is not a crime in Texas, you can lose your job, you can lose participation in school or even lose custody of your child.
On the other hand, if someone genuinely committed a felony assault, robbery or trafficking, there is a possibility that person may be able to afford to join the “outside world” while pending trial. Last year, 65% of felony offenders were able to post bond. This year, Houston families were outraged when 21-year-old Devan Jordan was released on bond despite being accused of several murders.
It is important to remember that even after you have been arrested, you are innocent until proven guilty. Bail is not meant to serve as punishment towards the person arrested. The courts and judges ought not be responsible for violent offenders being able to be released on a bail they were able to afford. The local bond companies are contributing to the re-exposure of violent offenders in the community. They are also providing lower-level offenders the opportunity to not have their lives completely disrupted by an arrest.
The issue of bail and bond is an issue that impacts the community that involves and requires the community’s attention. Harris County Bail Bond Board meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 1:30p.m. All agenda items must be submitted in writing to the Sheriff’s Department Bonding Division secretary no less than (10) days before the meeting. | https://aframnews.com/the-issue-with-bail/ | 2022-04-17T06:41:27Z | https://aframnews.com/the-issue-with-bail/ | false | 1 |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California wildlife officials say two humpback whales were tangled in fishing gear off the coast of central California. in recent days. They are recommending commercial Dungeness crab fishing be suspended to reduce the risk of more entanglements as the whales reach the region while on their annual migration north. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said in a statement that one humpback entanglement in California commercial Dungeness crab gear was confirmed off Moss Beach on March 17. Two days later, a second whale was spotted trailing a set of fishing gear in Monterey Bay. They are recommending Dungeness crab fishing stop on April 8. The closures wouldn’t affect recreational Dungeness crab fishing.

Litter warning after Wollaton Park deer filmed chewing wet wipe
Footage of a deer chewing a wet wipe at a popular city park has prompted a warning about litter from rangers.
A visitor to Wollaton Park in Nottingham filmed the footage, which shows one of the park's red deer chewing the wipe, earlier this year.
A spokesman for the park said the deer seemed to be finding it difficult to eject it from its mouth but, luckily, a ranger was on hand to help get it out.
"As we enter the busier months, we want to remind you that leaving litter can have severe consequences for our deer and wildlife, as well as being unsightly for visitors," he said.
"Please don't leave rubbish on the floor next to a bin, as this will be ripped open by wildlife."

(CTN News) – Tesla shareholders who are suing Elon Musk and Tesla over alleged securities fraud won part of a critical ruling in their class-action lawsuit.
Elon Musk tweeted in 2018 that he may take Tesla private, at $420 per share and said he had funding for it. Tesla shareholders are suing for money they lost.
Judge Rules Elon Musk Go-Private Tweet False, Tesla Investors Say
Tesla’s stock price was highly volatile for weeks after the tweets. Elon Musk said he had been in talks with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and felt confident that funding would be available at his price. There was no deal.
SEC charged Elon Musk with civil securities fraud as a result of those tweets. Tesla and Musk reached a revised settlement agreement in 2019 over those charges, but Musk is trying to terminate that deal now.
There could be billions of dollars in damages that Elon Musk and Tesla would have to pay to class members.
According to the shareholders‘ attorneys, Judge Edward M. Chen, who is presiding in this case, concluded that Musk committed scienter – that is, that he knowingly falsely stated he had secured funding when he tweeted.
The shareholders’ lawyers requested a temporary restraining order against Elon Musk to prevent him from speaking publicly about this case in the future, as he did during a widely viewed appearance at TED 2022 on April 14.
It cites an earlier ruling by Judge Chen that is currently under seal since it refers to evidence Musk’s team deemed confidential. Adam Apton of Levi & Korsinsky, lead counsel for Tesla shareholders, told CNBC the order will be published soon.
Musk called financial regulators in the SEC’s San Francisco office “bastards” at the TED conference on Thursday, Read More. | https://www.chiangraitimes.com/business/elon-musks-funding-secure-tweets-ruled-false-court-filings-suggest/ | 2022-04-17T07:08:48Z | https://www.chiangraitimes.com/business/elon-musks-funding-secure-tweets-ruled-false-court-filings-suggest/ | false | 1 |

Eimantas Stanionis beats Radzhab Butaev by split decision on Spence-Ugas undercard
ARLINGTON, TX — The reverberating dull thuds seemed to carry every time Eimantas Stanionis landed a jab on Radzhab Butaev.
Much was expected when these two undefeated welterweights met Saturday night on the Errol Spence Jr.-Yordenis Ugas undercard at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Showtime Pay-Per-View on a Premier Boxing Champions event.
Much was delivered.
Behind a consistent jab, Stanionis won by split-decision and wrested the WBA secondary welterweight title from Butaev.
Judge Javier Alvarez (Texas) had it 114-113 for Butaev, but was fortunately overruled by the 117-110 score by Robert Hoyle (Nev.) and 116-111 score by Jose Roberto Torres (P.R.).
“I still can’t believe it,” Stanionis said. “It was a dream come true to hear, ‘and the new.’ When I was a kid, I visualized what this would look like and how it would feel to become a champion. It’s because of the hard work, dedication, belief in myself and my team to get me to this big stage. I want to thank my team for everything. What I did in the ring, they did just as much outside the ring. I’m very happy. I just want to tell everybody that dreams do come true. If you believe in it and give your everything, it will happen.
“I need to watch the fight back to give my opinion on the scores. I can’t say now with all of this emotion. It was a hard fight. I know that I did good things, but so did he. He’s a strong fighter and I think we put on a good show and that’s most important.
Stanionis (14-0, 9 knockouts) kept constant pressure on Butaev (14-1, 11 KOs) with his jab. That was the difference. Stanionis landed 80/264 jabs (30%) to Butaev’s mere 21/341 (6%).
“The fight went like this because the referee allowed Stanionis to fight with his head down the entire time,” Butaev said. “What can I do if the guy is leading with his head down all the time? I don’t know why he took away a point from me. They should have taken the point away from him because he was diving in the whole time.”
Early on, Stanionis started well with some sharp jabs to the head, while Butaev pecked at the body. Stanionis snapped Butaev’s head back with the jab in the first. Stanionis seemed to be at a comfortable distance, while Butaev came on in the last minute of the first with a couple of stinging jabs.
In the second, Butaev was pushing Stanionis back as the aggressor. By the middle of the round, Stanionis began landing shots to Butaev’s ribs. The two crowded each other, very willing to exchange in tight quarters.
Though again, Stanionis was landing the jab very consistently. Over the first two rounds, Stanionis’ jab set the pace.
About a minute into the third, Stanionis started connecting with straight rights to Butaev’s face. Butaev couldn’t seem to find an answer to Stanionis’ high guard. At times, Butaev fought southpaw in the third. That created some openings, however, not enough to cause Stanionis to come off his approach.
Butaev came out in the southpaw stance in the fourth. Butaev went to the body more in the fourth, trying to slow down Stanionis.
In the fifth, Stanionis was dropping his shots to the body. He kept aiming his head at Butaev, wearing his earmuffs. When Butaev landed, many of his punches were absorbed by Stanionis’ gloves. As the final seconds were winding down in the fifth, Stanionis banged Butaev twice with left hooks.
As the midway point approached, Stanionis’ jab was dictating the fight, but some swelling was beginning to build under his left eye.
With 1:14 left in the sixth, Stanionis ripped Butaev with a left hook, and followed with a right to the head. In the last 12 seconds, Stanionis stepped back and connected on a right uppercut.
The seventh and eighth continued the same theme, Stanionis landing the jab, mixed in with an occasional left hook, while Butaev tried to crowd him and win the inside game by chopping to the body.
By then, Butaev’s eyes were beginning to swell. Stanionis’ face, however, began to break. A cut on Stanionis’ left eye was leaking blood, though nothing substantial.
In the closing seconds of the ninth, Butaev landed a few rights, but Stanionis returned to his corner with a smile and shaking his head.
With 2:35 left in the 10th, Stanionis reeled off a right uppercut that landed. Though with less than 30 seconds remaining in the round, Butaev dropped a couple of rights to Stanionis’ body. It was one of Butaev’s better rounds.
As the 11th began, the right side Stanionis’ forehead was swollen. It did cause Stanionis any problems, and with :48 left in the round, referee Rafael Ramos took a point away from Butaev for holding Stanionis’ head down while he continued to punch.
That caused even bigger problems for Butaev.
As the two met for the 12th round, both fighters wore the evidence of a war on their faces. Their eyes were blotched and swollen, a side of Stanionis’ head looked like a small balloon, and his face wore a reddish hue.
With less than a minute in the fight, they stood there winging shots at each other and tangled up with one another at the final bell.
Junior welterweight Brandun Lee (25-0, 22 KOs) went a career-high 10 rounds for the first time, winning a unanimous decision over Zach Ochoa (21-3, 7 KOs).
“I think that only two rounds were close, the seventh and maybe the ninth,” Lee said. “It was exactly what I expected. Perhaps I could have performed better, my combinations been a bit sharper, but it was a good fight overall.”
Lee, 22, tried engaging a few times early in the fight, but when Ochoa went into survival mode, Lee seemed to be lured in. It turned out to be a sound learning experience for Lee.
“I felt great, it was a great fight. Brandun Lee is a really good fighter, a strong fighter,” Ochoa said. “I feel I was doing really well. He caught me a little bit, but I kept my confidence, my poise and when it was time to step it up the last three rounds, I started putting the pressure on him and we went at it. I went all out. He’s never had it like that. I only got hurt one time, maybe at the end of the seventh. I know I buzzed him too.”
Vito Mielnicki Jr. (11-1, 7 KOs) was successful in his junior middleweight debut winning an eight-round decision over Dan Karpency (9-5-1, 4 KOs). Junior featherweight Angel Barrientes (9-1, 6 KOs) won a six-round decision over Fernando Garcia (13-5, 8 KOs). Cruiserweight Darius Fulghum (2-0, 2 KOs) stopped Nosa Nehikhare (5-2, 0 KOs) in the fourth round of the scheduled six-rounder. Middleweight Samuel Arnold (5-0, 3 KOs) kicked off the card with a first-round knockout at 2:53 over Darryl Jones (4-4-1, 2 KOs) in a scheduled four-rounder.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces renewed missile strikes on Kyiv and intensified shelling of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, in an apparent strategy to hobble Ukraine's defenses in preparation for what is expected to be a full-scale Russian assault in the east.
These attacks and others scattered across the country were an explosive reminder to Ukrainians and their Western supporters that the whole country remains under threat.
With the port city of Mariupol under siege, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia "is deliberately trying to destroy everyone who is there." He said Ukraine needs more heavy weapons from the West immediately to have any chance of saving the city.
Each day brings new discoveries of civilian victims of an invasion that has shattered European security. In the towns and villages just outside Kyiv, authorities have reported finding the bodies of more than 900 civilians, most shot dead, since Russian troops retreated two weeks ago.
After the humiliating loss of the flagship of its Black Sea Fleet, Russia's military command vowed to step up missile strikes on the capital. The Russians said they hit an armored vehicle plant on Saturday, a day after targeting a missile plant.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko advised residents who fled the city earlier in the war not to return.
"We're not ruling out further strikes on the capital," he said. "If you have the opportunity to stay a little bit longer in the cities where it's safer, do it."
The mayor said Saturday's strike killed one person and wounded several. It was not immediately clear from the ground what was hit in the strike on Kyiv's Darnytskyi district. The sprawling area on the southeastern edge of the capital contains a mixture of Soviet-style apartment blocks, newer shopping centers and big-box retail outlets, industrial areas and railyards.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said an armored vehicle plant was targeted. He didn't specify where the factory was located, but there is one in the Darnytskyi district.
He said the plant was among multiple Ukrainian military sites hit with "air-launched high-precision long-range weapons."
The Russian missiles hit the city just as residents were emerging for walks, foreign embassies planned to reopen and other tentative signs of the city's prewar life started resurfacing, following the failure of Russian troops to capture Kyiv and their withdrawal.
Kyiv was one of many targets Saturday. The Ukrainian president's office reported missile strikes and shelling over the past 24 hours in eight regions across the country.
The governor of the Lviv region in western Ukraine, which has been only sporadically touched by the war's violence, reported airstrikes on the region by Russian Su-35 aircraft that took off from neighboring Belarus.
In Kharkiv in the northeast, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said three people were killed and 34 wounded on Saturday. One explosion believed to have been caused by a missile sent rescue workers scrambling near an outdoor market. They said one person was killed and at least 18 wounded.
"All the windows, all the furniture, all destroyed. And the door, too," recounted stunned resident Valentina Ulianova.
The day before, rockets hit a residential area of Kharkiv, killing a 15-year-old boy, an infant and at least eight other people, officials said.
Nate Mook, a member of the World Central Kitchen NGO run by celebrity chef José Andrés, said in a tweet that four workers in Kharkiv were wounded by a strike. Andrés tweeted that staff members were unnerved but safe.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, who met with Vladimir Putin this past week in Moscow — the first European leader to do so since the invasion began Feb. 24 — said the Russian president is "in his own war logic" on Ukraine.
In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Nehammer said he thinks Putin believes he is winning the war and "we have to look in his eyes and we have to confront him with that, what we see in Ukraine.''
Nehammer said he confronted Putin with what he saw during a visit to the Kyiv suburb of Bucha, where more than 350 bodies have been found along with evidence of killings and torture under Russian occupation, and "it was not a friendly conversation."
Zelenskyy said in an interview with Ukrainian journalists that the continuing siege of Mariupol, which has come at a horrific cost to trapped and starving civilians, could scuttle attempts to negotiate an end to the war.
"The destruction of all our guys in Mariupol — what they are doing now — can put an end to any format of negotiations," he said.
Later, in his nightly video address to the nation, Zelenskyy said Ukraine needs more support from the West to have a chance at saving Mariupol.
"Either our partners give Ukraine all of the necessary heavy weapons, the planes, and without exaggeration immediately, so we can reduce the pressure of the occupiers on Mariupol and break the blockade," he said, "or we do so through negotiations, in which the role of our partners should be decisive."
Konashenkov, the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, said Saturday that Ukrainian forces had been driven out of most of the city and remained only in the huge Azovstal steel mill.
Russian Maj. Gen. Vladimir Frolov, whose troops have been among those besieging Mariupol, was buried Saturday in St. Petersburg after dying in battle, Gov. Alexander Beglov said. Ukraine has said several Russian generals and dozens of other high-ranking officers have been killed in the war.
Capturing Mariupol would allow Russian forces in the south, which came up through the annexed Crimean Peninsula, to fully link up with troops in the Donbas region, Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland.
Zelenskyy estimated that 2,500 to 3,000 Ukrainian troops have died in the war, and about 10,000 have been wounded. The office of Ukraine's prosecutor general said Saturday that at least 200 children have been killed, and more than 360 wounded.
Russian forces also have taken captive some 700 Ukrainian troops and more than 1,000 civilians, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Saturday. Ukraine holds about the same number of Russian troops as prisoners and intends to arrange a swap but is demanding the release of civilians "without any conditions," she said.
Russia's warning of stepped-up attacks on Kyiv came after it accused Ukraine on Thursday of wounding seven people and damaging about 100 residential buildings with airstrikes in Bryansk, a region bordering Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have not confirmed hitting targets in Russia.
In the Vatican, Pope Francis on Saturday invoked "gestures of peace in these days marked by the horror of war" in an Easter vigil homily at St. Peter's Basilica that was attended by the mayor of the occupied Ukrainian city of Melitopol and three members of Ukraine's parliament. Francis did not refer directly to Russia's invasion but has called, apparently in vain, for an Easter truce to reach a negotiated peace.

Mark Selby reaches Crucible second round with battling victory over Jamie Jones
Defending champion Mark Selby nudged into the second round of the World Snooker Championship despite looking far from his best in a 10-7 win over Jamie Jones.
Selby compiled three centuries but struggled for consistency in a match that marked his first appearance at the Crucible since he revealed mental health concerns.
Having sat out recent tournaments in Gibraltar and Turkey, it was inevitable Selby would take time to settle, but he had Jones to thank for missing a number of chances to make the match much tighter.
Turning a 6-3 advantage after the morning session into an 8-3 lead upon their resumption in the evening, Selby proceeded to toil as Jones clawed his way back into contention at 8-6.
But Selby responded by showing the kind of battling qualities that have earned him four world titles, with a 137 clearance that also marked his 100th career century in the tournament.
Jones once again reduced the deficit but Selby got the better of a number of visits in the next, seizing on a costly in-off by his opponent to finally complete a gruelling victory.
Afterwards Selby admitted: “It was quite emotional going back out there today.
“The result was irrelevant as long as I went out and tried to enjoy it and smiled a little bit, and that’s what happened. The main thing for me at the moment is just getting better.
“When it got to 9-7 I could see that he fancied the job. But I sat in my chair and thought, if he comes back and beats me 10-9, I’ll still have enjoyed that. The time I stop enjoying it is when I hang up my cue.”
Ronnie O’Sullivan swatted aside an early scare to establish a 6-3 lead over David Gilbert in the opening session of their first-round clash, which concludes on Sunday.
O’Sullivan, seeking to match Stephen Hendry’s modern record of seven world crowns, lost the first three frames to the 2019 semi-finalist but responded with two centuries to move into a dominant position.
Gilbert was the toughest possible first-round draw for O’Sullivan, who warned on Friday of “carnage” among the seeds in the early stages of this year’s competition due to the quality of those who have come through qualifying.
And it looked like the 46-year-old could become the most prominent victim as breaks of 56 and 94 helped Gilbert ease into a 3-0 advantage, before a 122 by O’Sullivan set him back on track before the mid-session interval.
O’Sullivan stepped up the pace after the break and Gilbert began to wilt under the pressure, producing a series of errors which the favourite characteristically exploited.
When Gilbert left a red dangling over the pocket in the seventh frame, O’Sullivan responded with a 104 clearance to move in front for the first time, and a missed black off its spot in the next yielded another half-century and a 5-3 lead.
Any hopes Gilbert had of clawing back the overnight deficit ended with another missed red in the final frame of the session. O’Sullivan duly responding with a 54 which proved enough to take him four more frames from a place in the second round.
Jackson Page, at 20 the youngest player in this year’s main draw, established a 6-3 overnight lead over former finalist Barry Hawkins.
Page scored six half-centuries, including a break of 102 in the eighth frame, and it could have been worse for Hawkins, who got the snooker he required to win the final frame of the day.
UK champion Zhao Xintong was in cruise control, hitting two centuries and four further half-centuries as he established a 7-2 lead over Jamie Clarke, while Stephen Maguire leads Shaun Murphy 6-3.

Injuries mount up for Hartlepool United with former Newcastle United defender and ex-Norwich City duo doubts for trip to Rochdale while former Sunderland striker is back in contention
Graeme Lee is waiting on injury updates to a number of players within his Hartlepool United squad ahead of the trip to Rochdale tomorrow.
Pools travel to the Crown Oil Arena for the second of their Easter weekend fixtures after narrowly losing out to Port Vale on Good Friday.
Lee was forced to shuffle his pack considerably in that defeat with key players such as Ben Killip, Timi Odusina and captain Nicky Featherstone all missing with just six substitutes named on the bench.
That is an issue which could continue tomorrow with the fitness of some players still up in the air amid such a quick turnaround.
And things were made worse for Lee when fullback Jamie Sterry was forced off late in the afternoon with the former Newcastle United defender a doubt for tomorrow’s game.
Sterry joins Featherstone, Killip and Joe Grey as doubts for Monday's clash while Odusina is set to miss out once more with a knee injury.
“Jamie got a bang on the ribs so we’ll assess that because he had a weakness in his ribs from the home game when he missed a few,” Lee told The Mail.
“He had a slight fracture so hopefully it’s not too serious and just a bang on his ribs.
“Timi has got a swollen knee. Ben sprained his wrist on Wednesday but he had a tight quad anyway so he was doubtful because we didn’t want to risk that.
“Then we got Joe Grey pulling out of training with a groin strain and Feath who strained the top half of his stomach muscle.
“Joe we’ll assess, Feath we’ll have to see if it settles in two days time. Ben hopefully won't be a million miles off.
“I can’t see Timi [being available]. It was from the Salford game when he got a whack on the knee and he’s been managing it but at this moment because of the swelling he’s struggling.
“He should be back [before the end of the season]. It’s just been one of them where he’s managed something, and a lot of them have been managing niggles, and it gets to the point where it’s caught up to a few of them at the same time.
“But hopefully a few days off might settle a few of their bodies down and we'll be ready to go again.”
There was some positive news to be had for Lee however which came 10 minutes from time in the defeat to Port Vale with the return of star man Luke Molyneux.
Molyneux has been nursing a leg injury and was perhaps brought back into the action sooner than Lee would have liked but the Pools boss believes the 24-year-old should be in contention on Monday.
“We’ll have to see. It was good to get Luke back out there,” said Lee.
“Luke only trained in the warm-up [on Thursday] so putting him on wasn’t something I wanted to do unless we were really looking to push in the game.
“His injury is fine but he only did the first part of the session so it was more about whether he came on and maybe sprinted a little bit too much and twinged something.
“But hopefully we can get a session into Luke and he’ll be fine.” | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/injuries-mount-up-for-hartlepool-united-with-former-newcastle-united-defender-and-ex-norwich-city-duo-doubts-for-trip-to-rochdale-while-former-sunderland-striker-is-back-in-contention-3657319 | 2022-04-17T07:21:00Z | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/injuries-mount-up-for-hartlepool-united-with-former-newcastle-united-defender-and-ex-norwich-city-duo-doubts-for-trip-to-rochdale-while-former-sunderland-striker-is-back-in-contention-3657319 | true | 1 |
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 17 (ANI): A new research has found that rhesus macaques are able to perceive their own heartbeats.
The research was published in the journal, 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences'.
It creates a first-of-its-kind animal model of interoception. Interoception refers to the ability to sense the internal state of one's body, such as observing when your heart races or breathing quickens.
The findings provide an important model for future psychiatric and neuropsychiatric research as dysfunctions in interoception are associated with anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer's disease.
The study is part of a collaboration between Eliza Bliss-Moreau, associate professor of psychology at UC Davis and core scientist at the CNPRC and affective scientist Manos Tsakiris, from the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, led by Joey Charbonneau, a doctoral student in psychology at UC Davis and including Lara Maister, from Bangor University, Wales.
The team monitored four rhesus monkeys that sat in front of an infrared eye tracker displaying stimuli that bounced and generated a sound either synchronously or asynchronously (faster and slower) with the monkeys' heartbeats. Such an experiment capitalizes on the fact that monkeys and human babies look for longer at things that they find surprising or unexpected.
All four monkeys spent more time looking at the stimuli presented out of rhythm with their heartbeats compared to stimuli in rhythm with their heartbeats - suggesting that they sensed that the out of rhythm stimuli was surprising based on the expected rhythm of their heartbeats.
The results are consistent with evidence previously shown in human infants using a similar method. This provides the first behavioural evidence that rhesus monkeys have a human-like capacity to perceive their heartbeats and have an interoceptive sense. "Why do we care? Interoception, or the self-monitoring of your physiological systems, is involved in all aspects of human life," Bliss-Moreau said.
The ability to sense our internal state can indicate issues within the body that require our attention. Impaired interoceptive awareness is associated with less capacity to regulate emotions and increased susceptibility to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
"Interoception is hugely important for emotion regulation and mental health in adults, and yet we know very little about how it develops in early infancy or comes to be across evolutionary time," Tsakiris said. "The work we present here represents a first successful attempt to fill these gaps."
Deficits in interoception have also been linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease."This model will be used in future translational studies of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's," Bliss-Moreau said. "If we can measure interoception, we can track it as a behavioural biomarker of disease progression."
The study provides insights into how the rhesus macaque model may be used to further our understanding of brain and body function.
"A next step is to study the mechanism by which interoception may be involved in different psychiatric and neuropsychiatric conditions," Tsakiris said. (ANI)

After 'The View' Host Joy Behar Goes on Gun-Grabbing Rant, Second Amendment Expert Fact-Checks Her Into Oblivion
On Tuesday, 10 people were shot at a subway station in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, according to CNN. Several more were injured. No one has died, thankfully, and police arrested the suspect on Wednesday afternoon.
Little is known for sure about what happened, but that doesn’t mean the cast of “The View” wasn’t going to have a big thinky about it — because, at a confusing, divisive moment like this, that’s just what America needed.
I’ve seen the majority of the segment in clip form, and the points and discussion being offered ranged from purely speculative to astoundingly wrong. Much of the latter category was filled up by the opinions of co-host Joy Behar, who seemed not only confused about how gun laws work but how our very form of government does.
At the very least, however, there was Stephen Gutowski there to set the record straight. Gutowski, a Second Amendment expert and founder of firearm-centric journalistic outlet The Reload, fact-checked Behar’s shockingly ill-informed rant.
(After tragedies like the one in Brooklyn — where the establishment media tries to feed America lies — it’s important for independent outlets to set the record straight. Here at The Western Journal, we’ll continue to bring America the facts about guns, the Second Amendment and the myths around gun control. You can support our mission by subscribing.)
At the top of Wednesday’s edition of “The View,” the hosts discussed the shooting and what could be done about it, with Behar taking it a step further to discuss gun control laws.
Joy Behar has no idea how the 3 branches of government works, thinks the Supreme Court passes bills:
“The Supreme Court is poised to pass a bill contradicting New York City State laws.” pic.twitter.com/Cf3lSvZKoN
— TheBlaze (@theblaze) April 13, 2022
“The Supreme Court is poised to pass a bill contradicting the New York City, state laws,” Behar said.
“We have very strict gun laws here, and they would like it to be — apparently somebody has put it on their desk that New York should be an open carry state and an open carry city with all of the density in this city.
“They want people running around with guns. People — middle-class people will be leaving in droves if that happens,” she concluded.
Just in case you were wondering, you didn’t miss anything; New York City is not a state, and the Supreme Court doesn’t pass laws. What is happening, as The Associated Press reported last November, is that the Supreme Court is set to strike down New York’s so-called “may issue” law.
These laws, which currently only exist in eight states, only allow individuals to carry their weapons outside their home if they can demonstrate a need to do so.
“New York’s law has been in place since 1913 and says that to carry a concealed handgun in public for self-defense, a person applying for a license has to demonstrate ‘proper cause,’ an actual need to carry the weapon,” the AP reported.
Beyond that, however, we had Gutowski to disassemble Behar’s ridiculous claims.
Here’s a quick fact check for you:
The Supreme Court rules on litigation, it does not pass legislation.
The case is about concealed carry, not open carry.
It wasn’t “put on their desk” by “somebody,” it was filed by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA).
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) April 13, 2022
“Here’s a quick fact check for you: The Supreme Court rules on litigation, it does not pass legislation,” he tweeted.
“The case is about concealed carry, not open carry. It wasn’t ‘put on their desk’ by ‘somebody,’ it was filed by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA).”
Anyway, it’s fair enough to debate the merits of different kinds of gun-carry laws. But, I mean, you could at least start from the point of understanding what the Supreme Court even is or does let alone understanding the individual policies themselves.
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) April 13, 2022
“Also, people are unlikely to leave ‘in droves’ if the Supreme Court strikes down New York’s ‘may issue’ concealed-carry law since the same policy, which is only used in 8 states currently, would likely become unconstitutional everywhere,” he continued.
“Anyway, it’s fair enough to debate the merits of different kinds of gun-carry laws. But, I mean, you could at least start from the point of understanding what the Supreme Court even is or does let alone understanding the individual policies themselves.”
He went on to note that 17 states and Washington, D.C., have “shall issue” laws, which means state officials are required “to issue permits to anyone who passes a background check and completes the required training.”
“Permitless, or ‘Constitutional,’ carry laws allow adults (usually over 21-years-old) who can legally possess a firearm to legally carry it concealed without obtaining a permit first. Currently, 25 states have this policy,” he noted.

Ah, what one wouldn’t give to see Gutowski on “The View” on Thursday to set the record straight.
Alas, that won’t happen, because if there’s anything “The View” doesn’t exist to accomplish, it’s setting the record straight. Did one of the hosts blurt out a word salad that misled the show’s entire viewership as to the nature of gun laws in the United States? Don’t expect a correction.
After all, “The View” isn’t a news show, it’s a shouty-fest which treats the important issues of the day with a level of thoughtfulness quite a bit closer to Maury Povich than “Firing Line.”
Give Behar a little bit of credit for her farrago of misinformation, however: Despite getting nary a single fact right, she managed to prove that “may issue” laws do nothing to prevent crime. Bravo, Joy.

Eddie Deezen has been arrested on charges of burglary, trespassing, and related charges in Maryland, according to reports.
The actor, who is best known for playing Eugene Felsnic in 1978’s Grease and its sequel, was arrested on April 8 after police accused him of making an unwanted entry into a nursing facility and refusing to leave the property when requested.
Deezen is being charged with fourth-degree burglary, two counts of trespassing, and one count of disturbing the peace, Maryland State Police confirmed (via Entertainment Weekly).
The arrest came barely two hours after Deezen was previously warned to stay away from the property. According to reports, a woman opened the door before Deezen pushed his way inside.
The actor left the residence before allegedly returning later that evening, when he was arrested. The woman told police that Deezen had visited the residence several times before, claiming that he’d leave behind items and accompanying notes.
News of Deezen’s arrest comes as the latest in a spate of similar incidents involving the actor in the past year. In September 2021, the 65-year-old was arrested for assault following an incident at a restaurant in Maryland in the US.
Earlier that year, the actor was accused of harassing a Maryland waitress over Facebook, where he allegedly commented on her fake eyelashes.
Aside from Grease, Deezen has starred in Midnight Madness and I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and lent his voice to Cartoon Network’s Dexter’s Laboratory and 2004’s The Polar Express.

Boris Johnson will become the first British Prime Minister to visit Gujarat when he lands in Ahmedabad this week for a two-day visit to India for “in-depth talks” with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, according to Downing Street.
Johnson’s first visit to India as UK Prime Minister will begin on April 21 with a trip to Ahmedabad in Gujarat, which is Prime Minister Modi’s home state. Investment announcements in key industries in both the UK and India will take place, Downing Street said in a statement on Saturday.
Johnson will then proceed to New Delhi to meet Modi on April 22, where the focus will be on India-UK strategic defence, diplomatic and economic partnership. According to officials on both sides, Johnson will also use his India visit to drive progress in the ongoing Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations launched earlier this year.
“My visit to India will deliver on the things that really matter to the people of both our nations — from job creation and economic growth, to energy security and defence,” said Johnson, ahead of the visit. As we face threats to our peace and prosperity from autocratic states, it is vital that democracies and friends stick together. India, as a major economic power and the world’s largest democracy, is a highly valued strategic partner for the UK in these uncertain times,” he said.
Choice of Gujarat
While in Ahmedabad, Johnson is scheduled to meet with leading businesses and discuss the UK and India’s “thriving” commercial, trade and people links. The choice of Gujarat, India’s fifth largest state, was linked with it being the ancestral home of around half of the British-Indian diaspora population in the UK.
“In Gujarat, the Prime Minister is expected to announce major investment in key industries in both the UK and India, boosting jobs and growth at home, as well as new collaboration on cutting-edge science, health and technology,” the Downing Street statement said.
“The Prime Minister will then travel to New Delhi to meet Prime Minister Modi on Friday (22nd April). The leaders will hold in-depth talks on the UK and India’s strategic defence, diplomatic and economic partnership, aimed at bolstering our close partnership and stepping up security co-operation in the Indo-Pacific,” the statement said.
The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) talks, which will move into their third round later this month, are expected to result in a deal predicted to boost the UK’s total trade by up to 28 billion pounds ($36 billion) annually by 2035 and increase incomes across the UK by up to £3 billion ($3.9 billion).
It emerged earlier this week that at the end of the first two rounds, four out of 26 chapters have been agreed and there has been “significant progress” in the remaining 22 chapters of the FTA. The two leaders are expected to mandate a timeline for the possible completion of the process, initially set for the end of this year.
UK-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership
Last year, the two prime ministers had agreed on a UK-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, announcing more than 530 million pounds ($692 million) in investment into the UK and committing to a deeper bilateral relationship across trade, health, climate, defence and security, and connecting people.
India was identified as a priority relationship for the UK in the 2021 Integrated Review and was invited by the UK as a guest to last year's G7 summit in Cornwall, the UK government officials noted.
Downing Street highlighted that the UK is leveraging post-Brexit trade opportunities with India’s growing economy to drive down prices in key commodities for consumers, open opportunities for UK businesses in areas like green tech and services, and create high-wage, high-skill jobs.
According to official estimates in the UK, investment from Indian companies already supports 95,000 jobs across the UK, which is expected to be boosted by upcoming announcements and a future free trade deal.
Modi and Johnson last met in person on the sidelines of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow in November last year. Johnson’s visit next week is seen as long overdue on both sides, having been cancelled twice before due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation.

Quran Circle to honey trapping: ISIS making Karnataka a playground for radicalisation
New Delhi, Apr 17: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has charged three Islamic State (ISIS) recruiters in connection with the Quran Circle case. The NIA charged Muhammad Tauqir Mahmood, Zohaib Manna and Mohammed Shihab all residents of Karnataka.
The NIA said that its probe found that the accused persons were involved in radicalising and recruiting gullible Muslim youth into the ISIS through a group known as Quran Circle. They were also raising and receiving funds to fund the visit of the youth to go to Syria. The two accused Mahmood and Shihab had both visited Syria to establish contact with the ISIS, the NIA also said.
The case was registered by the NIA in September last year after the examination of Dr Abdur Rahman in an Islamic State Khorasan province case, who was motivated and sent to Syria to join the ISIS in 2013-14 by the terrorist group formed by the accused in the case.
The radicalisation problem in Karnataka is nothing new. The NIA has for years being probing similar cases in the state. Recently the NIA arrested one Deepti Marla alias Maryam, the lady from Kodagu who had converted to Islam and then joined the Islamic State. She had used honey trapping as one method to lure Hindu men and then convert them to Islam. The probe so far has revealed that she had honey trapped and then converted 10 Hindu youth into Islam. Once they were converted to Islam, she would force them to join the ISIS.
In the case of Muslim youths she would radicalise them and then get them to join the ISIS, an official told OneIndia. During the probe one Madesh Perumal alias Abdul told the NIA that she had used provocative chats to lure him into the ISIS. Perumal told the NIA that the way in which she spoke was so impressive that he not only converted to Islam, but also agreed to go to Afghanistan and carry out bombings.
The NIA learnt that she had created several fake accounts in both Hindu and Muslim names. With the Hindus she would pose as a Hindu and in the case of Muslims, she posed as a Muslim.
She is married to Idinabba's son, Anas Abdul Rahiman. The arrests took place in Ullal, Mangalore and the case relates to the one in which scores of persons left Kerala to join the ISIS in Afghanistan also known as the Islamic State Khorasan Province.
During the investigation it was revealed that after the decline of the ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Marla and Mohammad Ameen visited Kashmir in January 2020 for Hijrah or religious migration. They also ended in terror acts and supported the activities of the ISIS, the NIA said. The NIA also said that Maryam was the kingpin in the case along with Ameen.
Following the incident in Kerala, last year, the NIA had conducted raids in Ullal and arrested Ammar Abdul Rahman, the grandson of Idinabba. It is alleged that Rehman's niece was part of the group of Muslims who had left Kerala for Afghanistan. Idinabba passed away in 2009.
In 2017, the NIA had filed a chargesheet in which said that Rehman's niece, Ajmala and her husband Shifas K P left for Afghanistan via Bengaluru and joined the ISKP in the Nangarhar province. Ajmala is said to have been killed in 2018.
During the 2021 raid, Maryam was interrogated by the NIA for two days. However she was not arrested at that time. Sources tell OneIndia that her activities and movement were closely monitored.
Said to be highly radicalised, Maryam originally known as Deepti hails from Kodagu district in Karnataka, which is 240 kilometres away from Bengaluru. She met Anas while studying BDS in Deralakatte, following which she converted to Islam. She is said to have become very conservative and radicalised.
The NIA alleges that she had connections terrorists of the ISIS. She is also suspected of radicalising many youth and recruiting them into the outfit.
Idinabba's family has been under the scanner of the agencies for long. During the raids in 2021, the NIA also arrested one Madesha S P alias Ali Malviya, Ubaid Hamid and Muzzamil Hasan Bhat, residents of Kashmir.
The NIA said that these persons are closely linked with Mohammed Ameen Yahya, an ISIS sympathiser. Yahya a resident of Mallapuram in Kerala was arrested on March 15 for propagating on behalf of the ISIS on social media channels. He was also accused of radicalising and recruiting Muslim youth into the ISIS. The NIA had also held one Muhab Anva from Kollam and Dr Rahees Rashid, a dentist from Kerala. The NIA in its 2016 chargesheet said that after leaving India, the accused persons continued with anti-India activities. | https://www.oneindia.com/india/quran-circle-to-honey-trapping-isis-making-karnataka-playground-for-radicalisation-3397055.html | 2022-04-17T07:51:58Z | https://www.oneindia.com/india/quran-circle-to-honey-trapping-isis-making-karnataka-playground-for-radicalisation-3397055.html | true | 1 |

Russia Warns of 'Unpredictable Consequences' After Biden Announces Another Arms Shipment to Ukraine
Russia has protested against the U.S. sending military aid to Ukraine, warning of “unpredictable consequences.”
In a diplomatic note sent to the U.S. this week, Moscow expressed its opposition to the Biden administration assisting Ukraine, which is fiercely resisting a Russian invasion.
The Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C, forwarded the document — titled “On Russia’s concerns in the context of massive supplies of weapons and military equipment to the Kiev regime” — to the U.S. State Department.
The Washington Post reviewed a copy of the document, which was written in Russian and sent with an English translation.
The note came after President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that the U.S. would deliver a new $800 million arms package to Ukraine, including heavy artillery, armored vehicles and drones.
“We call on the United States and its allies to stop the irresponsible militarization of Ukraine, which implies unpredictable consequences for regional and international security,” Russia said in the diplomatic note, according to the Post.
Russia alleged that NATO was pressuring Ukraine to end talks with Russia “to continue the bloodshed.” Furthermore, the document claimed that the U.S. was telling other countries to halt cooperation with Russia and to send Soviet-era weapons to Ukraine.
The Kremlin also listed the “most sensitive” weapons being given to Ukraine that are “adding fuel” to the conflict, including “multiple launch rocket systems.” The Czech Republic has sent RM-70 Vampire multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine, Interfax Ukraine reported Friday.
Russia accused the U.S. and its allies of violating the “rigorous principles” regarding weapons transfers to conflict zones.
The Kremlin also said Washington was failing to consider “the threat of high-precision weapons falling into the hands of radical nationalists, extremists and bandit forces in Ukraine.”
“What the Russians are telling us privately is precisely what we’ve been telling the world publicly — that the massive amount of assistance that we’ve been providing our Ukrainian partners is proving extraordinarily effective,” a senior Biden administration official told the Post.
When Russia launched its war against Ukraine on Feb. 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the world against trying to help Ukraine, saying that “anyone who would consider interfering from outside” would “face consequences greater than any you have faced in history.”
However, since the war began, the U.S. and its European allies have defied Putin, arming Ukraine against the Russian invaders.
The Russians have perpetrated massive atrocities against the Ukrainian people, including the mass killings of civilians and bombings of residential areas, schools and hospitals.
The Ukrainians have put military aid to effective use, forcing Russia to pull out of Kyiv and focus on Ukraine’s east and south after suffering heavy losses.
It is estimated that between 7,000 and 15,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, according to the BBC. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov last week acknowledged the massive casualties, calling them “a huge tragedy for us.”

Coach Sounds the Alarm After Trans Opponent Injures 3 Female Players in a Single Game
A high school ruby league in Guam is being criticized after a transgender athlete injured three female players in a match over the weekend.
The transgender athlete, who is a male identifying as a female, played on Guam High School’s female rugby squad.
While playing Tiyan High School, the male player injured three female players from Tiyan, according to head coach Conrad Kerber, the Washington Examiner reported.
According to Kerber, the male athlete’s body, size and force were simply dominate over the girls on his team, Kuam News reported.
“Body size, body strength and the ability to apply force with that size and strength completely dominate any girl that I have on my team,” Kerber said.
“The aggressive nature that was witnessed clearly showed that it’s a definite issue that we have to deal with,” he said. “I had three players that were injured in that first game against Guam High directly by that particular player.”
Videos posted to Twitter showed some of the plays from the game.
📍Guam: 3 female athletes were injured in a Rugby game by a transgender athlete who was “aggressive in nature.”
The head coach says “body size, body strength.. completely dominate any girl that I have on my team”
Why do females even bother playing?https://t.co/XjWsfkgumQ pic.twitter.com/kbWnSv5Or3

Due to the extraordinarily physical nature of rugby, the issue of transgender athletes has become a sticking point.
But the “World Rugby Law” Transgender Guidelines actually do not allow transgender athletes to play female rugby.
“Why? Because of the size, force- and power-producing advantages conferred by testosterone during puberty and adolescence, and the resultant player welfare risks this create,” World Rugby reported.
Meanwhile, no official decision has been made for the Guam high school league, but Kerber did say that he hopes the league will adopt the “World Rugby Law” guidelines that do not allow transgender athletes to play women’s rugby.
“Right now, we just have to come together as a group and discuss the proper path to take and discuss what the parameters are with allowing transgender males in full-contact sports such as rugby,” he said, the Examiner reported.
“It has to do purely with the size, force and strength disadvantage that transgender males will have over females in this type of sport,” he explained, according to Kuam News.
“It’s purely a safety issue when we discuss transgender males playing in female sports at a youth level particularly at this type of contact sport as well. I’m basically in line with the world rugby guidelines regarding transgender males playing female sports and basically across the world it’s not permitted,” he said.
The Guam Department of Education is currently discussing the issue and working with a legal team to decide how to move forward and decide whether or not to allow transgender athletes to play in female sports or not.
“So we’re currently in the process of working with our legal counsel and our management team to further assess and research the situation of transgender playing sports,” Guam Department of Education Deputy Superintendent of Operations Erika Cruz said, the Examiner reported.
In the meantime, Kerber has said that his players are healing and will keep playing.
“My players will get through it and heal,” Kerber said, Kuam News reported. “We will use these next two weeks so that we can heal properly.”

BALTIMORE — It was a scene that would have looked familiar had it come a few blocks away, at the Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium.
As the crowd got loud before a big play, the athlete who was about to throw the ball stuck his hand over his ear so he could hear the instructions coming though the audio transmitter.
Except it happened in the 11th inning Friday at Camden Yards, and the athlete was Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, not a visiting quarterback in the red zone. It’s a look that might become more familiar across baseball in 2022, with nearly half of the teams in MLB using PitchCom, the device that allows catchers to transmit pitch signals from their wristband (or in the Yankees’ case, kneepad) to an audio piece tucked inside the pitcher’s hat.
Such was the case with Chapman on Friday night in the Yankees’ 2-1, 11-inning loss to the Orioles. As he pitched with the bases loaded in a tie game, he stepped off the rubber multiple times and cupped his hand or glove around his ear so he could better hear the pitch instructions from catcher Jose Trevino.
“We just might have to turn up our volume a little bit,” Trevino, who also has an audio transmitter in his helmet, said before going 2-for-4 in Saturday’s 5-2 win. “You can probably turn it up to full, and you feel like it’s really loud so you don’t know if [the batter] can hear it or not. But they’ve done some test runs where even if you’re standing there and it’s quiet, [the batter] can’t hear it.
Trevino, who can control the volume next to the buttons he presses for pitch type and location, also paid a quick visit to the mound just before the final pitch of the night to make sure Chapman was on the same page. Chapman walked Ramon Urias with that final pitch to force in the winning run.
But if the PitchCom is not audible or breaks down in other scenarios, the Yankees have said they are prepared to revert to traditional signs on the fly.
Gerrit Cole has also experienced some hiccups with PitchCom through his first two starts, including not being able to hear the pitch instructions because of the siren that blares over the Yankee Stadium speakers with two strikes.
The Yankees had a trial run with PitchCom in spring training, but the Grapefruit League atmosphere could not quite fully prepare them for using it in the regular season. And if the noise was an issue in an April extra-inning game at Camden Yards, it stands to reason that playoff games down the road could present an even bigger challenge.
“It’s one of those things that we’re kind of fine-tuning, pardon the pun,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Just making sure the voice is clear and the right volume and how to wear it in your hat and all that, especially when noise starts to happen. I don’t think it’s going to be a big issue long-term, but there are things we’re trying to tweak as far as getting the most simple, the right verbiage and language for each individual pitch so there’s no confusion.” | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/yankees-aroldis-chapman-had-issues-with-pitchcom/150371/ | 2022-04-17T08:37:05Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/yankees-aroldis-chapman-had-issues-with-pitchcom/150371/ | false | 3 |

Motorists can be hit with £1,000 fine if they suffer from hay fever - 'impaired driving'
MOTORISTS with hay fever and other allergies are being warned they may be hit with a £1,000 fine for driving, if it hinders their driving ability.
GMB: Ranvir Singh suffering from hay fever concerning Richard
Driving while suffering from symptoms of hay fever could land motorists with a £1,000 fine, experts have warned. If a driver is experiencing intense pollen allergy symptoms, this could be classed as a “failure to have proper control of the vehicle and a full view of the road”.
Fines can reach as high as £2,500 for drivers of passenger carrying vehicles (PCVs) or goods vehicles.
Those who are fined also face the risk of a discretionary disqualification, according to the Highway Code penalty table.
According to the Met Office, most of the UK is set to have either a moderate or high pollen count this week.
As a result of this, the nicer weather and the Easter weekend, more drivers may be slapped with hefty fines.
READ MORE: Drivers warned as holding up traffic could lead to massive £5,000 fine
Craig Forbes, motoring expert at Peter Vardy, warned drivers to make sure they are safe when at the wheel.
He said: "Drivers must take responsibility for assessing their own fitness to drive when experiencing symptoms.
“There are ways to minimise symptoms of hay fever during spring, but if your eyes are extremely watery and you feel unwell, your driving could be impaired and you may wish to consider alternative travel in order to avoid a fine."
Hay fever affects roughly 30 percent of the UK’s population and they are being warned to take action to combat their symptoms.

Drivers warned as air con and open windows reduces efficiency [INSIGHT]
Mr Forbes advised drivers to plan their journey around the pollen forecast, which the Met Office usually updates daily and contains data for all of the UK.
If high or very high pollen rates are forecast and people are afraid to drive, Peter Vardy recommends considering alternative travel plans or asking someone else to drive.
Drivers can also use essential oils on their air freshener, as this will help to combat the symptoms when driving.
Lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus all have anti-inflammatory properties and can unblock stuffy noses naturally.
If they don’t have an in-car diffuser, the oil can be dropped onto an old air freshener and hung near the air conditioning vent to reap the same benefits.
Drivers should also avoid rural locations as hay fever symptoms can often be exacerbated in the countryside, due to the open spaces blowing around pollen.
Craig Forbes also advised drivers to clean their vehicles before setting off as this can help hay fever sufferers combat their allergies.
He said: “It’s important to clean your car regularly throughout the pollen season, so as to get rid of any pollen particles that make their way into the vehicle.
“Use your vacuum and duster to get rid of any pollen dust on your dashboard and seats.
“Doing so will prevent the build-up of pollen inside the car that can worsen your symptoms.”
Where possible, drivers should also keep their windows closed as this will prevent pollen being blown directly into the cabin.
With the temperature starting to rise, this may be tricky for some drivers, especially when the car is hot, with drivers being urged to use the air conditioning. | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1597104/driving-law-warning-motoring-fines-hay-fever | 2022-04-17T08:42:32Z | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1597104/driving-law-warning-motoring-fines-hay-fever | false | 1 |

NEW YORK, April 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE: IIPR, IIPR-PA) resulting from allegations that Innovative Industrial Properties may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Innovative Industrial Properties securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5301 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.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On April 14, 2022, during trading hours, market analyst Blue Orca Capital published a report regarding Innovative Industrial Properties which alleges several issues with the Innovative Industrial Properties including that it is "a marijuana bank masquerading as a REIT[,]" and that "IIPR is less of a traditional REIT, and more of a marijuana bank, lending to cannabis companies who otherwise would not have access to the banking system to grow their businesses." Further the report alleges that "IIPR's largest tenant is a failed SPAC that appears in severe financial distress and was recently sued by investors accusing it of securities fraud and being in effect a Ponzi scheme."
On this news, Innovative Industrial Properties' stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on April 14, 2022.
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 or resources. 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.

Louis William Garrou
April 6, 1920 - December 14, 2020
Louis William Garrou, 100, of Morganton, a man of grace, honor, humor and affection, died Monday, Dec. 14, 2020, at his home, in Grace Ridge Senior Community in Morganton.
He is survived by his children, John L. W. Garrou (Linda), Elizabeth G. Furr (James) and Albert L. Garrou (June); grandchildren, Eleanor G. Rubin (Cliff) and Margaret Garrou (John Fitzgibbon); and four great-grandchildren, Charlotte and Griffin Rubin and Liam and Emmett Fitzgibbon.
Louis was born April 6, 1920, in Burke County, a son of Albert F. and Louise Holloway Garrou. One of six children, he and his twin, Leith, were inseparable in their youth, and enjoyed annoying their family and friends with their innocent, and sometimes less than innocent, pranks. Despite their best efforts, their girlfriends (and their mother) could always tell them apart. Louis and his brother graduated from Darlington School in 1937 and attended Davidson College before Louis transferred to Lenoir-Rhyne College to be with his new bride, Betty Bowles, whom he had married in 1939 and who attended the college. After college and after years of summer employment, Louis was employed full time at Waldensian Hosiery Mills in a career, interrupted by service in World War II, that continued until his retirement as president and chief executive officer in 1974 and as Chairman of the Board of the successor company, Alba-Waldensian, Inc. in 1985. Louis served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1945 and was stationed in England and, after the German surrender, in various posts in Germany, where he happily took charge of the restoration of a German brewery, a task that he believed was only slightly less momentous in repairing relations between the U.S. and its former enemy than was the Marshall Plan.
While serving in England, Louis learned of the ultimately fatal illness of his twin, Leith; in a life remarkably free of such tragedy, an event that he was never able to speak of without emotion. After his discharge, Louis returned to his young family in Valdese, and resumed his career at Waldensian Hosiery Mills, succeeding his father as president in 1962 and as Chairman in 1974. After many years of expansion and prosperity for the business, the latter portion of his career was marked by an unending battle to diversify the company away from its traditional reliance on men's and women's hosiery in the face of relentless price competition from imported product. From the late sixties until his retirement, he focused continually on expanding the company's product lines in directions such as patented specialty health care products that provided higher margins and rewards for innovation in order to try to weather the competitive forces that were devastating the domestic industry. Most significantly, he led the company's development of the world's first anti-embolism pulsating stocking, which was highly effective in preventing blood clots in hospital patients. Versions of the stocking are still in use and are critically important in the care of bed-bound hospital patients in preventing severe and often fatal embolisms.
Always a man of his word, he was proud of his reputation in the industry that agreements could be based on a handshake and were always to be honored. Louis was devoted to the business, but especially to its employees, and felt keenly the impact on individuals and the community of the inevitable closure of local manufacturing businesses, including some 15 years after his retirement, Alba-Waldensian. He forgot much in old age, but he never forgot the number of employees at his retirement (1640), so many of whom he knew and admired, and felt with great regret the loss of jobs—thought to have provided lifetime security—by them and thousands of their friends and relatives in the area. Louis was selected, "Man of the Year" by the Textile School of N.C. State University in 1966, was a director of the National Association of Hosiery Manufacturers, the North Carolina Textile Foundation, the North Carolina Citizens Association, the Bank of Granite, Valdese General Hospital and was appointed North Carolina Ambassador at Large by Governor James B. Hunt Jr. and accompanied the governor on a trade mission to Japan and China in 1979. He served as a trustee of Lees-McRae College, Montreat-Anderson College, St. Andrews Presbyterian College, and Western Piedmont Community College Foundation and was instrumental in founding the United Way of Burke County.
He served as a deacon and elder of the Waldensian Presbyterian Church, as president of the Valdese Rotary Club and was a Rotary Harris Fellow. Louis loved his family, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and his undoubtedly unique ancestry—Revolutionary and Civil War veterans on one side and Waldensian immigrants on the other. He pretended to be fluent in the Waldensian patois, but if truth be told, was suspected to be largely faking it. He was an amateur pilot and aviation buff, spending many happy hours aloft in a sail plane and powered aircraft in his retirement. His home movies usually contained tracking shots of clouds or blue sky containing a tiny speck, which the viewer was assured, contained an unusual or important aircraft.
A lover of classical music, he played violin in his youth and in retirement, he learned piano and took music courses at Lenoir-Rhyne College, Appalachian State and Gaston Community College, where he studied composition and had an orchestral work performed by a student orchestra. His life was joyful, his spirit, playful and his ethic, honorable. His devotion to his wife of 79 years, Betty, was total and unvarying; yet, after her death In 2018, his grief was tempered by a spirit of contentment and gratitude for her life, his own and that of his family.
Betty and Louis spent many of their last years in their cottage at Grace Ridge. As they aged, they were increasingly and, toward the end of their lives, almost completely reliant on the care and concern of their daughter, Elizabeth, for which they were profoundly grateful. Age weakened Louis in mind and body, but never in the love of life and those surrounding him. Without complaint and always pleasant and warm to friends, family and strangers, he faced the struggles of age with wit and humor. Happy to see visitors, they were always happy to see him. Now, in the words of his caregiver and friend, Kerry: "he done made it home."
A family graveside service will be held followed by a memorial service at Waldensian Presbyterian Church to be scheduled in the future.
Memorials to Waldensian Presbyterian Church, Community Assistance Ministry or Food Pantry, 109 Main St. East, Valdese, NC 28690; Baptist Global Response, online or by check to Send Relief, P.O.

THE WEST must prepare for a Russian nuclear doomsday by stockpiling anti-radiation drugs and building shelters, Ukraine's President has warned.
President Volodymyr Zelensky's chilling warning comes as Russia continues to amass its forces in eastern Ukraine ahead of a major battle tipped to decide to fate of the war.
The battle-hardened leader told CNN Vladimir Putin could use tactical nukes if his war in Ukraine continues to stall.
The deranged Russian leader ramped up his offensive on Ukraine after the flagship war vessel Moskva was downed on Thursday.
Putin's forces unleashed a wave of artillery attacks on eight towns including Kyiv, Kharkiv and Lviv.
And it comes as Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the US outlet that Moscow was prepared to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine in the case of an "existential threat".
President Zelensky told CNN on Friday: "We shouldn't wait for the moment when Russia decides to use nuclear weapons... We must prepare for that."
He said anti-radiation medicine and air raid shelters would be needed to repel the attack, which he was "convinced" was being planned.
"All of the world, all of the countries have to be worried because it can be not real information, but it can be truth," Ukraine's head of state said.
"Chemical weapons, they should do it, they could do it, for them the life of the people, nothing. That's why.
Most read in The US Sun
"We should think not be afraid, not be afraid but be ready. But that is not a question for Ukraine, not only for Ukraine but for all the world, I think."
CIA Director Bill Burns echoed Zelesky's concerns during a public appearance at Georgia Tech.
He said the intelligence body was watching Russia's nuclear movement "very intently", adding: "Given the potential desperation of President Putin and the Russian leadership, given the setbacks that they've faced so far militarily, none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low yield nuclear weapons."
And Russian media pundits have outrageously claimed World War 3 has already begun.
Olga Skabeyeva, one of Putin's top media figures in the tightly controlled echo chamber of state-run Russian media, bizarrely claimed that war in Ukraine had escalated into a war against Nato.
Putin's propagandists are now desperately trying to distract from the tyrant's military failures in a war which was sold the Russian people as being a quick victory in a matter of days.
Military commentator Dmitry Drozdenko said on separate state-run Channel 1: “In actual fact a full-scale multi-level war is underway with the collective West.
“And the West has long been preparing for the war".
Russia is already using nuclear capable artillery guns in Ukraine stoking fears Putin may resort to using tactical nukes if his forces are repelled for a second time.
Putin's defence ministry stoked fears of turning the conflict nuclear as they released images of the massive 46.5 ton weapon firing shells towards Kharkiv in late March.
Video shows the giant tracked self-propelled Malka gun bombarding the besieged city as Russia continues its grinding campaign in Ukraine.
Putin has also put the country's nuclear weapons arsenal into "combat duty" mode. | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5141473/president-zelensky-warns-west-russian-nuclear-doomsday/ | 2022-04-17T09:07:43Z | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5141473/president-zelensky-warns-west-russian-nuclear-doomsday/ | true | 4 |
The Bishop of Manchester is reminding people that Easter is a new beginning in his uplifting Easter message.
Rt Rev David Walker described how the joyful season is a transformative time for communities, particularly as there are no Covid restrictions preventing families and friends from gathering to celebrate Easter this year.
He also encouraged people not to view Easter as an ending, but as a time to be hopeful and look forward to the future.
READ MORE: United in hope: Christmas messages from two of Manchester's faith leaders
Here is the Bishop of Manchester's Easter message in full:
All four gospels conclude fairly quickly after Easter. It’s a natural place to stop for books whose primary purpose is to tell the story of the earthly life and ministry of Jesus. And yet an unintended consequence of finishing where they do is to give the impression that Easter is somehow a conclusion - a joyful note on which to end the fast of Lent; a happy ending tacked on to the tragedy of Holy Week.
Yet Easter is much less an ending than a beginning. It’s the dawn of a world in which death has been defeated; the start of an era where love is proven stronger than the worst that evil can do; the issuing of an invitation, to people of all races and cultures, to live lives transformed by knowing that Jesus lives.
In the northern hemisphere, we celebrate Easter at the very time of year when new leaves and fresh blossom are covering so many trees, when flowers are once more abundant in parks and gardens, when countless newborn creatures are first opening their eyes to their surroundings.
The cycle of the year in itself should help spur us on to discover new ways to be a transforming Christian presence, both as individuals and churches, in our communities. This year particularly, we can congregate and meet in far less limited circumstances than in either of the two previous Easters.
So, let us make the most of this joyful season, not as an end to what is past, but as the beginning of what is yet to come. Happy Easter!

BEIJING (AP) — China will launch three more astronauts to its newest space station in June after the latest crew returned this weekend following a six-month stay in orbit, an official said Sunday.
The crew of Shenzhou 14 will spend six months on the Tiangong to add two modules to the station, Hao Chun, director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, told a news conference.
China's ambitious space program launched its first astronaut into orbit in 2003, landed robot rovers on the moon in 2013, and on Mars last year. Officials have discussed a possible crewed mission to the moon.
The core module of the Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, was launched in April 2021. Plans call for completing construction this year.
The Wentian module will be launched in July and the Mengtian module in October, Hao said.
On Saturday, the crew of Shenzhou 13 landed in the Gobi desert in the northern region of Inner Mongolia.
During the mission, astronaut Wang Yaping carried out the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman. Wang, commander Zhai Zhigang and crewmate Ye Guangfu also beamed back physics lessons for high school students.
China was the third nation to launch an astronaut into space on its own after the former Soviet Union and the United States. Tiangong is China’s third space station following predecessors launched in 2011 and 2016.
The government announced in 2020 that China’s first reusable spacecraft had landed following a test flight but no photos or details have been released.
China is excluded from the International Space Station due to U.S. unease that its space program is run by the ruling Communist Party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army.

CHAUDHRI: Employees must be savvy during company sale
Article content
The buying and selling of a company is often cloaked in secrecy and hushed back room negotiations.
Advertisement 2
Article content
That, of course, is by design. Employees are usually the last to know.
A workforce is often the most valuable asset in the sale of any organization. Employees are the soul of a company. They are the sole repository of goodwill, of client relationships; of trade secrets.
Most organizations inform employees of a sale or change of control with little notice accompanied with quick deadlines to accept new roles. The experience can be overwhelming and riddled with discontent.
In a remarkable shift from the norm, Twitter employees have a front row seat to a very public takeover bid for the social media platform by Elon Musk.
On April 14 Musk tweeted, “I made an offer,” linking a proposal filed with the SEC to purchase all outstanding common stock of Twitter at $54.20 a share for 100% ownership.
According to the Washington Post, some Twitter employees have raised concerns about the potential sale triggering an “all hands” meeting on Thursday, led by CEO Parag Agarwal. Concerns included how the culture at Twitter would change if Musk took over, concerns over his social media use as well as a request for employee representation on Twitter’s board.
Normally, employees have no opportunity whatsoever to weigh in on a potential change of control, nor do they have much agency to determine how their own personal roles may be impacted. Twitter employees have a rare opportunity to register concerns on a potential takeover and discuss options.

While many wonder why Elon Musk has made his bid public, the transparency of his offer is refreshing and revolutionary.
Employees, for once, are in the know. They have time to make decisions about their own careers and engage leadership. They can demand accountability. They have the opportunity to consider other options while this plays out.
When it comes to a sale or change in management, employees can experience a lot of uncertainty. For example, employees may be offered a new job with a new employment agreement to sign in order to accept the new terms.
There are some key considerations an employee should keep in mind during a change in ownership or control.
Asset or share sale: If your employer is selling its assets, you could be deemed to be terminated from your previous employer and could be entitled to termination pay if you don’t accept a new role with the next employer. If it is a share purchase, your employment would continue with the new owner. If you’re not sure, you can ask your employer if the change is an asset or share sale to get a better handle on how your employment may change.
New employment offer: When there is a change in ownership, you could be given a new employment offer. This could include a change in role, reporting line, pay, benefits and may include new terms like a termination clause or non solicitation provision. If your new employment offer doesn’t closely match your previous position or previous employment terms, you may want to think carefully before signing on.

Article content
Recognizing years of employment: If you are given a new role, you should always ask whether or not your previous years of service at your old company will be recognized. Years of service weigh in to things like your seniority, vacation, pension and your rights on termination.
Mitigating your losses: It can be awkward and uncomfortable to sign on with a new employer, especially if you have worked for your previous organization for a long time. That said, if your new role is reasonably comparable to your previous role, you will legally be expected to accept it to mitigate the loss of your old role. If you aren’t sure about whether or not the new role is fair and comparable, get some legal advice.
On to this week’s questions:
Q. I have returned to work and notice that there is not any PPE protocols. I find that no one is wearing a mask, nor do they care much about social distancing. I am wearing my mask but feel uncomfortable wearing it when no one else is. What should I do?
A. You shouldn’t be retaliated against if you wear PPE at work. It is relatively commonplace in any event. Wear the mask. Or, ask to zoom in for meetings where it is not easy to socially distance.
Q. I have received a job offer for in-person work. I want to accept the role but am not keen on the salary offered. Is there any point in negotiating, or do I have to accept the offer as is or move on?
A. Job offers can be negotiated. In some instances they should be. Many employees do not negotiate job offers, but having them reviewed can be helpful. For example, in addition to salary things like bonus, termination and post employment obligations may be worth negotiating before you join.

Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, says he is yet to inform President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to contest for presidency because he has not yet concluded his consultations.
Ngige is one of the cabinet members in the Buhari’s administration who have shown interest in their principal’s seat at the end of his (Buhari) tenure next year.
Speaking exclusively to Sunday Vanguard, Ngige, who is a former governor of Anambra State, said he will join the presidential race after Easter, adding that he would have concluded his consultations then.
Although the minister’s posters and some vehicles branded on his name welcoming the delegates were sighted at Eagle Square during the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Convention on March 26, he denied knowledge of the development but rather said that the posters might have been pasted by his sympathizers’ or those who wanted to conscript him into the presidential race.
“I didn’t see the posters and if you saw the posters, maybe it was sympathizers that put them up or those trying to conscript me,” he said.
Also Read:
Responding to the claim that he gave the approval for his posters to be displayed at Eagle Square, he said, “That is what you will hear. After all, I am a politician. So, you people can extrapolate anything.”
He maintained that he would make open his intention to contest for presidency after Easter.
Asked why he had not told the President of his intention to contest for the number one position in the country, he said, “Because I am consulting, I am still consulting.”
On whether he has the political structure and support from the party to win its ticket for the election, he said, “I am a foundation member of the APC, I am one of the founding fathers. We did the preliminary negotiations. I was the deputy chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee for a new party APC in 2013 and I have enough linkages with other Nigerians. But the important thing is that I have not concluded my consultations. This consultation will be taken to the north, to the southeast and west before it will complete.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/2023-why-im-yet-to-tell-buhari-my-presidential-ambition-ngige/ | 2022-04-17T09:14:54Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/2023-why-im-yet-to-tell-buhari-my-presidential-ambition-ngige/ | false | 2 |

The next general elections in Nigeria are less than a year away, yet it is still difficult to put a finger on its prospects. Many politicians and their supporters are making noise about 2023, but no one knows if they are on the right path.
There are people whose dispositions and utterances give the impression that they are still in 2019 which the nation departed from close to four years ago. One of the common commentaries is that political parties should pick their presidential candidates from the zones that can win elections.
Even if the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the originator of zoning is for the wrong reason no longer certain of the efficacy of the arrangement, I hope those supporting good candidates like Governor Aminu Tambuwal are influenced by his liberal mind and capacity to embrace innovation and not where is from. Those supporting anyone only because of his/her zone are travelling backwards beyond 2015.
If Nigeria must get out of its stunted growth and face brighter days, unnecessary attacks on aspirants should stop. The criticism that Atiku Abubakar is forever a contestant is irrelevant if he is qualified and competent. Those who say Asiwaju Bola Tinubu does not appear strong enough for the office of president should review his response that he is not seeking the office of a bricklayer that calls for physical strength.
Those who are visibly angry that someone has the courage to aspire to contest the 2023 election along with his ‘godfather’ should note that the contest is not reserved for godfathers. When Yemi Osinbajo acted as President in 2017, many who affirmed that he did excellently well are surprisingly against him now as if the man is only good as acting President.
In any case, the godfather sentiments cannot be sustained in many parts of Nigeria where tradition behoves a man to be happy if his grandson surpasses his own achievements. Although Tinubu, the acclaimed godfather has publicly testified that he has no son old enough to aspire to be president, the godson is still under fire.
In some commentaries, people suggested that Osinbajo was already a loser for wearing black on the day he declared his interest in the 2023 contest. To such commentators of the stone age, black is meant for burial. One wonders what burial ceremonies are held in courts every day across the globe where black is the official colour. What the several criticisms against aspirants suggest is that the authors have missed their way to 2023. In the new scheme of things, Nigerians who seek to hold political offices should be subjected to intense scrutiny but without being parochial.
The only viable criticism against the Vice President was the one made by Prof Farooq Kperogi who felt Osinbajo was part of an RCCG plot for theocratic state capture. The prolific writer scored high by providing verifiable evidence in support of his allegation. Those who have points against any aspirant should do the same.
Unfortunately, tangible criticisms which can strengthen democracy are palpably scanty while the media is replete with cosmetic issues of zero value. For example, to attack Rotimi Amaechi for making his declaration public at a crowded stadium under the guise of thanksgiving is no point because there is no standard place for declaration.
The same is true of those attacking Nyesom Wike, Rivers state governor as too aggressive as if timidity is a more relevant virtue for political ambition. Going by the current state of the nation, an aggressive leader may be needed.
While it is true that some aspirants can easily pass for jokers, it is uncharitable to add Peter Obi, former Anambra State governor to such a list simply because he does not ‘have a bullion van.’ What such contemptible attacks show is that not many are set to positively move to 2023 because it is hard to ignore the visible capability of Obi to manage a troubled economy.
Having indicated his current preoccupation, attacks on Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele are superfluous
Mindful that a person coerced into an office is not likely to perform well because he could not have prepared for it, this column had earlier sought to identify the political aspirants who bought nomination forms themselves to contest the 2015 general elections.
Findings showed that former Governor Godswill Akpabio’s nomination form was allegedly bought for him by some youths to represent the Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District.
It was the Benue Youth in Diaspora Association (BYDA) that pledged to provide money to purchase the senatorial nomination form for former Governor Gabriel Suswam. Some other Youth leaders from Ado Local Government Area of Benue State allegedly besieged Senator David Mark’s home to put pressure on him to contest the Benue South Senatorial seat.
Similarly, it was Enugu Professional Forum that kept pushing former Governor Sullivan Chime to contest his senatorial seat against Senator Ike Ekweremadu who was himself pressured by Enugu Concerned Professionals Worldwide.
The implication of this narrative is that the locomotive heading towards 2023 is the same one that has been conveying people to cajole politicians to contest elections since 1979 when a reluctant Shehu Shagari was persuaded to become President. Little wonder that the tricks have not changed. Misguided able-bodied Nigerians are still acting as fronts for old politicians, publicly begging them to show interest in elective positions.
More than two years to the end of his first tenure, the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria were on the streets distracting President Jonathan with pleas to seek reelection. At other times such as now, unemployed youths argue that they had to put together the little they had to buy nomination forms for billionaire politicians. Whither the new Nigeria of our dreams?
Two weeks ago, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State formally announced his Presidential ambition naming two Nigerians that would help him coast to victory like M.K.O. Abiola did in 1993. First, he picked Senator Jonathan Zwingina former Director-General of the Abiola Campaign Organization as his national coordinator. He then named Hafsat Abiola, daughter of the June 12 hero as the Director-General of his campaign.
A week later, Abiola’s eldest son, Kola, joined politics. With the Social Democratic Party, (SDP) which bears the same name as MKO’s winning party, busy acting as the rejuvenated party to beat, the true representative of the legend is no longer clear more so as Kola declared under another platform – the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP). What is clear is that no one has the MKO Abiola’s political spirit of a true patriot and humanitarian warrior who helped all and sundry.
The man donated to every good cause unlike now when people donate only close to elections, competing with the trader money scheme.
Nigeria is thus far from the ideals of the past just as her movement ahead is retarded by lethargy in governance and political materialism. Declarations have remained patently promissory – a trend that can do Nigeria no good in 2023. What is needed now is not who can announce what he intends to do, instead, all aspirants should be interrogated to explain how they intend to fulfil their electioneering promises.
Indeed, when aspirants become candidates ample time must be spent on the details of how each promise would be fulfilled. No one should be allowed to evade election debate so that each person’s capacity can be sufficiently visible for voters to make informed choices. The strategy would nullify arguments such as that the true decadence of the nation was not clear when the promises were made.
Every elected candidate must recognize that he/she was voted in to solve problems and not to itemize challenges. In truth, Professor Kingsley Moghalu was a delight to watch on national television two days ago explaining that if elected he would ensure that facilities like good transportation are available before withdrawing on an instalment basis, our unsustainable fuel subsidy. That is the narrative for 2023 and those who cannot cope must fall out of the race now. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/many-have-already-missed-the-road-to-2023/ | 2022-04-17T09:17:37Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/many-have-already-missed-the-road-to-2023/ | false | 1 |

By Dayo Johnson
Mr. Tolu Babaleye is Director-General of Ondo State Network for Bola Tinubu. In this interview, Babaleye says Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has dared his destiny helper with his presidential ambition, saying he lacks electoral value in Lagos.
At what point did Tinubu, Osinbajo break ties?
I am not aware that the ties broke. I don’t think Tinubu is disappointed with what Osinbajo did but many of his supporters are. Ambition is a very difficult thing and there is no way you can suppress a man with ambition. The Vice President has his ambition and feels he can dare anyone including his destiny helper and highest promoter.
Reports suggest Osinbajo quietly moved his membership of Lagos APC to Ogun APC in 2021. Was that the beginning of the breaking of ties with Tinubu?
This is not correct. The truth is that Osinbajo had no electoral value in Lagos where he used to vote because the place is dominated by the Igbo.
Also Read:
It was Tinubu who even advised him to relocate his PVC to Ogun. Nobody will suspend anyone for declaring to contest an election. If Osinbajo wins in the primary, he will still need Tinubu to fly.
People shouldn’t create unnecessary tension and enmity that may be difficult to settle. The truth is that Osinbajo has no electoral value in Lagos. Attached is the result of the last election from the unit where Osinbajo voted in Lagos.
Relocating to Ogun is a political calculation to bring better results and not because anyone will suspend him for exercising his constitutional right.
This is the result of Osinbajo’s unit in the 2019 presidential poll: Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (VP) Polling Unit Code 33, Unit 2 Victoria Garden City, Lagos: Presidential: APC – 229, PDP – 425; senatorial: APC – 261, PDP – 414, Rep: APC -190, PDP -268.
Why was the step necessary?
The step was necessary to make sure he wins his unit and ward in the next elections because a politician that fails to win his unit and ward is irrelevant in politics.
Was it in anticipation of running for President or some other reasons?
It was not, but to give him a base. For instance, it was also at that period that Osinbajo built his first house in Ikenne.
How are All Progressives Congress, APC, governors and National Assembly, NASS, members divided by Tinubu, Osinbajo, Amaechi, Umahi and others’ ambitions?
The result of the primary election will show that but what I know is that Tinubu is well prepared for the primary election. If you also know the history of the 9th National Assembly, you will know the role Tinubu played in birthing its leadership, all these will work for him.
You also saw the way he was received when he visited the NASS complex about three weeks ago. Tinubu has really laboured and deserves the ticket of APC.
What options are open to Tinubu now that he has very powerful forces to contend with? It is suggested in some quarters that he may head to Social Democratic Party, SDP, if he doesn’t pick the APC ticket…There is only one option available and it is to win the APC presidential ticket. What is SDP?
Did you see anyone that went to SDP in Ondo State? The people who went to SDP in Kwara have nothing to do with Tinubu. They have their issues with Kwara State governor.
Tinubu has even appealed to them to return to APC because you don’t abandon your house in the name of anger. Those linking Tinubu with SDP are fifth columnists working with a particular candidate who cannot even smell the ticket of APC because Tinubu is everywhere.
Those people working for that candidate are majorly PDP members who do not want Tinubu to emerge but they want a weak candidate that can be defeated easily. We know their game plan and we shall beat them to it.
But some of Tinubu’s men in Ondo and Kwara were said to have gone to the SDP following the crisis in APC in their states…This is not true. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/why-tinubu-asked-osinbajo-to-leave-lagos-politics-relocate-to-ogun-babaleye/ | 2022-04-17T09:19:43Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/why-tinubu-asked-osinbajo-to-leave-lagos-politics-relocate-to-ogun-babaleye/ | true | 1 |
Steven Schumacher has outlined the important part the Green Army can play when Plymouth Argyle take on Sunderland at Home Park on Easter Monday.
It is another home sell-out as the fourth-placed Pilgrims try to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat away to Wycombe Wanderers on Good Friday.
Argyle have turned Home Park into a fortress recently by winning their last six games there and not conceding a goal in any of them.

With Sunderland two points behind the Pilgrims in seventh, and also with a game in hand, the significance of Argyle's penultimate home match of the regular season is obvious.
Schumacher said: "Everyone was a little bit frustrated (after the game against Wycombe), myself more so than most probably. We just didn't get to the levels that we needed to.
"But if we are at it and the crowd are right behind us on Monday, which I know that they will be, then it will be a good game. Hopefully we get a reaction, put in a better performance and get a result."
Asked what his message to the Green Army would be, Schumacher said: "Just get behind us like you have done all season. They have been incredible home and away.
"We have been selling out every week because they can see it's exciting and it's what they want to be part of.
"We are going to need them because after a bad performance that energy and that atmosphere we can create at Home Park will give the lads an extra little five per cent.
"If we can get a little bit more in our legs from now until Monday, and get them behind us, then we will be a good game for Sunderland."
Schumacher's comments after the game against Wycombe seemed to suggest that Argyle would be without captain Joe Edwards for a second successive match due to a sprained ankle.
However, the Pilgrims' boss kept open the possibility that 19-goal top scorer Ryan Hardie could make a return to action after a three-game absence because of a thigh injury.
Midfielder Ryan Broom could also be set for a start against Sunderland after he and striker Niall Ennis came on as half-time substitutes against Wycombe, for Danny Mayor and Jordon Garrick respectively.
Adam Randell also came off the bench in the 74th minute when he replaced Jordan Houghton and earned praise from the Pilgrims' boss.
Schumacher said: "I thought Ryan Broom gave us some good energy when he came on and Niall Ennis did okay when he came on. And Rands looked after the ball and showed a little bit of composure.
"It's something you need from your substitutes. You need them to come on and make an impact. They did okay but just didn't have enough of an impact to get us back into the game."
Sunderland have responded well to the appointment of Alex Neil as their boss in February, with a record of six wins, four draws and only one defeat under the former Norwich City and Preston North End manager.
They made it three successive victories, all with late winning goals, when they beat Shrewsbury Town 3-2 at the Stadium of Light on Good Friday.

Paul Heckingbottom believes Sheffield United players' promotion experience will pay dividends in the final run-in. The Blades sit inside the play-off in sixth place but remain embroiled in a fierce battle to extend their season into May.
United gave up a big opportunity to gain ground on their rivals but were beaten 2-1 by relegation-threatened Reading at Bramall Lane. Heckingbottom's side could drop out the top-six if Middlesbrough win their match in hand.
With five games remaining, United's hopes of promotion remain on a knife-edge. However, the Blades have a squad packed with players with promotion experience, that have been there and bought the t-shirt.

Billy Sharp and Chris Basham could return to the side after the Easter schedule whilst Wes Foderingham and Conor Hourihane have both been involved in the play-off lottery. Heckingbottom believes that could prove vital as the heat turns up in the final weeks of the season.
"Just look at all the results again," Heckingbottom told the media. "It's a strange time and everyone feels it.
"You have got to be cool, you have got to be calm. Things aren't always going to go your way.
"The patience we showed in getting back into the game against Reading is important. You have got to be calm and that's going to be important in these last four games.
"We have turned it into a sprint, it's all about the points. There will still be more ups and downs, but as I have left it with the players there, we have to make sure we have more ups than the other teams.
"That's it. It's as simple as that now. I am talking points, not performances. We have got the experience in there, players who have been there, players who have felt it.
"Hopefully, we get Oli (McBurnie) back and it's just a scare, we get Bash (Chris Basham) back and Billy (Sharp) back involved and get more experience so we can pick from the best possible squad we have available." | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united-advantage-promotion-race-23711095 | 2022-04-17T09:36:51Z | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united-advantage-promotion-race-23711095 | true | 1 |
Mamie B. Todd, the granddaughter of a slave who became an outspoken civil rights activist and social worker whose advocacy for children led to the founding of the state’s Child Protective Services Agency, died in her sleep April 8 at her Pacific Grove, California home. The former longtime Ashburton resident was 105.
“My grandmother was always impatient when it came to the humiliation and degradation of segregation, because she knew who she was descended from,” said her grandson, Benjamin Todd Jealous, who had been head of the NAACP from 2008 to 2013 and was the Democratic candidate for governor of Maryland in 2018. “She was a quiet humble power.”
The former Mamie Bland, daughter of Frederick Bland, owner of a 300-acre farm and a builder, and his wife, Bessie Ethel Wood Neale Todd, a teacher and a midwife, was born in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, and raised in Prince George County, Virginia.
Her grandfather, Edward David Bland, who became a lifelong inspiration, was born into slavery in 1848 in Virginia, and was later a member of the Virginia legislature during Reconstruction after the end of the Civil War.
“He led a multiracial populist movement that resulted in the founding of Virginia State University, expanded Virginia Tech,” and “helped secure the future of free public education for the children of the Commonwealth of Virginia,” according to a profile submitted by her daughter, Ann Frederica Todd Jealous, and her son, Mr. Jealous.
“He believed in what was possible,” Mr. Jealous said in a telephone interview. “A dream deferred will ultimately not be a dream not denied. It’s not if, but when.”
Mrs. Todd’s grandfather, Edward David Bland, was the first of his family to join the NAACP that was founded in 1909, with six generations following his example. He died in 1927.
“My grandmother was very much her grandfather’s granddaughter, and she carried all of this with her,” Mr. Jealous said.
“Because the births of Black children in the county were not recorded and because she looked white, she’d go to the courthouse and record their births,” said her daughter, a retired psychotherapist who lives in Pacific Grove, in a telephone interview. “No one bothered her because they thought she was just another white woman sitting in the corner.”
“Her handwriting is on my birth certificate,” Mrs. Todd told The Monterey County Herald in a 2009 interview.
She and her five siblings attended a one-room schoolhouse for “colored children,” which was the first in Prince George County, and on land that her grandfather had donated for the school. There she excelled in math and science and often was called upon to tutor the school’s student body of 19.
As a young girl, her father gave her a broken-down automobile and told her she could drive it once she got it running.
“When I was 14, my father bought me a Model A Ford,” Mrs. Todd explained in the newspaper interview. “I learned physics by taking that car apart, cleaning all the parts and putting it back together again.”
After a year’s work and receiving a special license from the county, she was able to drive herself and her siblings to school each day.
When it was time for high school, she moved to Petersburg, Virginia, where she lived with an aunt. The school was located on what was then Virginia State College, now Virginia State University, which she later attended and earned a bachelor’s degree with honors.
While attending college, she met and fell in love with a fellow student, Edward Jerome “Romie” Todd, whom she married in 1939.
After graduating from college, she taught algebra in a local public school, and in a 2009 interview with NPR’s “Story Corps,” was “outraged to find that they were expected to teach without the necessary books and supplies or even a chalkboard that retained chalk.”
“In her typically fearless style in the face of unfair adversity, she confronted the segregated school system’s superintendent and convinced him to deliver new supplies to her school,” wrote Mr. Jealous.
As part of the Great Migration, Mrs. Todd and her husband left Virginia in 1941 and settled into the McCulloh Homes, and later moved to Ashburton.
Her husband worked as a Pullman porter for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad while she took a job working for Planned Parenthood. She also babysat the children of civil rights activists Clarence Mitchell and Juanita Jackson Mitchell, who headed the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP.
Living in the North did not mean the end of racial discrimination, and because Mrs. Todd looked white and her husband was dark-skinned, that often meant unpleasant and humiliating inquiries, especially from the police.
“My father, a brown-skinned African American, would pick her up after work and take her to the park for a milkshake,” her daughter told the Monterey Herald in 2009. “Remember her coming home vividly upset in the 1940s because a policeman had checked her driver’s license. She looked very Anglo; and it was illegal in Baltimore for Blacks and whites to cohabitate, and they wanted to know if she was being molested by a Black man.”
“She’d show them her driver’s license that had a ‘C’ on it for colored,” her daughter said. “And then she’d tell them he was her husband. They’d come home and she was very angry and there was my father looking at the floor. He was so ashamed.”
Mrs. Todd took a job as a caseworker for the Baltimore City Department of Welfare where she worked tirelessly as an advocate for children. She witnessed what she called the ”great suffering,” which inspired her dedication to eradicate racial and social oppression.
She participated in marches through the slums of Baltimore and traveled to Washington to lobby Congress not to fund high-rise projects, which she thought would become ghettos.
In 1952, she urged her daughter to join other young NAACP activists and become a plaintive in the lawsuit that eventually desegregated Western High School in 1958. Mrs. Jealous became the first Black news editor of Western’s newspaper and one of its first African American graduates.
Mrs. Todd decided she wanted to earn a master’s degree in social work, but because Black people were prohibited from attending graduate school in Maryland, they were sent out of state at taxpayers’ expense to other colleges and universities.
In 1953, she obtained her master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and soon launched a ”crusade to stop the exploitation and abuse of Baltimore’s most vulnerable children,” Mr. Jealous wrote.
Her work resulted in the establishment of the state Department of Child Protective Services. “Her goal was to both to ensure that suspected child abusers be investigated by qualified professionals to make sure that abused children received therapeutic treatment,” according to the profile.
Mrs. Todd also played a significant role in the effort that made Maryland one of the first states to establish an undergraduate degree in social work at public universities.
Because there were so few Black women executives in state agencies, the governor gave Mrs. Todd a designated parking place with her name so her car wouldn’t be towed, her grandson said.
Mrs. Todd was a huge influence on such young social workers, including Barbara A. Mikulski, who later would become a U.S. senator from Maryland, and who recently called her mentor a “national legend in child protection.”
Afternoon Update
After her husband, who was a college graduate, left the railroad, he earned a law degree from the University of Maryland School of Law and had a long career with the state Department of Juvenile Services.
After the couple retired in 1982, they moved from Dennlyn Road in Ashburton to their summer home in Cape May, New Jersey, and following her husband’s death in 2006, Mrs. Todd moved to Pacific Grove, where she lived independently at Canterbury Woods Retirement Home. She busied herself with the Village Project as a volunteer, played bridge, and enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
[ Thomas B. ‘Tom’ Eastman, a lawyer who was an environmentalist, dies ]
When in Baltimore, she was a communicant of St. James Episcopal Church, and in 1958, with eight other women, established The Pierians, a group dedicated to the study, promotion, and enjoyment of the arts. The organization expanded with chapters in several states.
In 2018, she received the President’s Award from the Monterey County Branch of the NAACP for a lifetime of civil rights activism and commitment.
“She had a passion for making things better. It’s our family DNA. We want to make things better,” her daughter said.
Plans for a celebration-of-life gathering to be held August 6 in Pacific Grove are incomplete.
In addition to her daughter and grandson, Mrs. Todd is survived by a granddaughter; and three great-grandchildren. | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/bs-md-ob-mamie-todd-20220417-sfvjxpuwsbeobnlf4injeldhee-story.html | 2022-04-17T09:38:36Z | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/bs-md-ob-mamie-todd-20220417-sfvjxpuwsbeobnlf4injeldhee-story.html | false | 2 |
From God’s own country to the Golden Vale: Leena is a theatre nurse in South Tipperary General Hospital. She has lived in Clonmel with her husband and three children for 15 years.
Mahabali, the Asura King once ruled Kerala, the Spice Garden of India. King Mahabali was beloved and his people were happy in this land nourished by the monsoon.
Mahabali worshipped Vishnu, ruler of both the netherworld and heaven. Other gods were jealous of Mahabali and asked Vishnu for help. Vishnu appeared as a dwarf and Mahabali offered him gifts. Vishnu asked for just the land he could cover in three paces, remarking that one should not take more than one needs.
As soon as Mahabali agreed, Vishnu quickly increased his size so one foot covered the skies and earth, and the other the netherworld. Seeing that Vishnu would destroy the world with his final step, Mahabali told Vishnu to place the final step on his head, thereby saving the world. With that, Mahabali would be pushed into the netherworld. Impressed by Mahabali’s humility, Vishnu granted him one wish; Mahabali wished to return home, to Kerala, once a year to ensure that his subjects remained happy and prosperous. The wish was granted.
To this day, Keralites all over the world celebrate Onam as the day that Mahabali comes home. We dress in the Kasavu Saree, or silk shirts and the mundu. We eat Sadhya, a feast of vegetarian dishes served on banana leaves. Onam transcends religious beliefs, reminding all Keralites of their culture and heritage. For 15 years, I have celebrated the harvest festival of Onam in Clonmel. Sometimes I feel like Vishnu, with my feet in two different places: India and Ireland. My name is Leena, and this is my story…
I was born Catherine, named after my grandmother, according to tradition. My father was George and so I became Catherine George. Leena was a pet name; I ended up being Catherine in church and Leena in school. I had a happy childhood in Kerala. My father George was a farmer, and my mother a housewife and they worked hard to give my brother and I a good start. Now, I tell my children to appreciate their good life. My daughter worries about those less fortunate in India and I smile to hear my words leave my little girl’s mouth. My two girls are named Anna and Agnes after their grandmothers, and so it goes.
When I was 18, I took the train from my village to Hyderabad to study nursing. It took longer to get to Hyderabad than it did to get to Clonmel. We, my chaperone and I, travelled 1,516 miles to another world. As the train lumbered out of the sleepy station that morning, rolling by lush green hills and majestic rubber trees, I had the feeling I was being transported to a new life. I felt the train’s pace quickening along the route through dense forest, passing village after village just like mine.
After three days on the train, my surroundings started to change, and I knew we were approaching the city. Sounds took on a new timbre, a new urgency, as we reached the outskirts of Hyderabad: car horns and bicycle bells sounded out as we hurtled along, whipping dust in its wake. The landscape transformed at the city’s edge, tents and shacks blurred by, faded colours glimpsed through dust clouds on the tracks. The train’s horn warned those on the line “get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way”. I was excited, my heart pounding to the rhythm of the train.
When I disembarked, the next wave of passengers surged forward over the white and black tiles, eager to start their journey. Shrouded figures on benches, or cross-legged on the tiles, observed silently. It took days for the sounds of the engine and the sway of the giant train to leave my body.
I spent five happy years in Hyderabad, sharing my dormitory with other student nurses, giggling and carefree. From there to New Delhi, then to the Gulf, each place a steppingstone.
Back home, my parents were busy talking to the marriage bureau. They had found a husband for me. Although his village was only 30 km from mine, James may as well have been from another planet. We married one month after we met and I became Leena James. Soon we had our first son, Joseph. An arranged marriage seems strange to my children, but that was twenty-one years ago and here we are.
My time in the Gulf ended with selection for a position in South Tipperary General Hospital. We returned to Kerala, and I left my husband and son to come to Ireland, hoping to go from there to America. Ireland was just another steppingstone, or so I thought.
“Are you certain there is a hospital there?” my brother asked me when I said I was coming to Clonmel. He looked it up on the internet. “All I can find is trees and a road!” he laughed. “Surely you will not go to such a place”, but he need not have worried. Now, that tree-lined street is home to my family. I hear birdsong and church bells and my children attend school in the town. This is our place.
Last time I returned to Kerala it was monsoon season. People ‘give out’ about rain in Ireland, but if you really want to see rain, come to Kerala. There, the rain is relentless, and it falls hard. In Ireland the rain is soft, like its people. I always felt welcome, my presence here appreciated. When I arrived, I spent two months in Waterford completing my induction. Even then, the wheels were in motion. The nursing superintendent in Clonmel worked hard, stopping other Indian nurses in the supermarket and asking if they knew of anyone looking for a house mate. By the time I got to Clonmel, I had somewhere to live. That’s how the wheels turn in Ireland, they take you in, make you one of their own, get you ‘sorted’ in that soft way of theirs.
At first, I could not tell the difference between one Irish nurse and another, they all looked the same. And the names were so difficult! We were all strangers to each other. In Shamrock Hill, one old lady told me that when she was young, she never knew there were people with different-coloured skin. I wonder how people in my village would welcome an Irish nurse just as I wonder if anyone in Clonmel knew where Kerala was before I arrived.
I love my life here, in the shadow of the church bells. I love the people; they are so kind-hearted, their friendship priceless. In 2010, James was ill in hospital. It was the worst winter for decades, freezing temperatures, snow, and ice. James was discharged for Christmas, and we arrived home to bread, milk, and firewood at our front door. We soon discovered we had no water and no heat. There is something about being in trouble at Christmas isn’t there? My friend Toni cooked our Christmas dinner, let us use her shower. After a couple of days, she arrived at my front door and said, “Give me your washing Leena, I will do it. Just give it to me.” Such a simple gesture from her meant the world to me. I cried at her kindness. She took my dirty laundry and returned it, washed, dried, and folded. I couldn’t believe that someone would do that!
Trouble is a great equaliser in Ireland. A consultant in the hospital was especially kind to me when I was ill, even though he did not need to be. He was a very busy doctor, but the time he spent with me taught me so much about respect and appreciation for others, regardless of status or position. This Irish way of helping silently, quietly, selflessly, surprises me still to this day.
Irish devotion to family is unshakeable. As a nurse I see people at their best and their worst. I bear witness to unfaltering love and dedication for those who would be abandoned elsewhere. When babies are born and there is bad news, or a family has a loved one who is broken or special, I see the love, the care. People look me in the eye, shrug, “It’s family” they say. The people of Clonmel have taught me so much, I admire their simple, unwavering humanity.
The Irish take a particular view of money. In Irish, there is a sean fhocal, an old saying: Is minic a bhí fear maith i seanbhríste - There’s often a good man in old trousers.
I worked with a consultant who drove a thirty-year-old car, the same car as me. I looked at my little car and thought how could he drive the same car as me? He even repaired it himself. He could buy ten of that car, but he was happy, he told me his car was good enough for him. I think if he didn’t care, why should I? It makes me feel good because what does it matter? I have learned from this humility; you do not see it elsewhere.
One family friend, Mathúin expresses the wisdom of Vishnu, that he should not take more than one person needs. He told me, “Leena, I am fortunate, I have a good job, but I should not be greedy. That money is not just for me”. The people are the wealth, the golden vein of this place.
A few years ago, I travelled to Dublin and became an Irish citizen. All around me there were shouts of joy, people hugging and crying with happiness, but my heart crunched in my chest as I replaced one passport with another, replacing the dharma chakra with the harp. I felt like I was no longer Indian, but my soul and my bones will always know I am Indian.
For centuries, Kerala was a hot spot for trade, the lure of precious spices beckoned. The disciple St. Thomas, who famously doubted Christ, was one such visitor to Kerala. He preached the gospel, baptised my ancestors and now there are 1,000s of churches bearing his name. Eventually, the people of Kerala themselves began to travel, taking our faith, heritage and culture with us. Now a thriving population of St. Thomas Christians, including my family, has spread across the globe. Once a month we celebrate mass in the native language of Kerala, Malayalam. They say that Kerala is God’s own country, but my God has travelled all the way with me to Clonmel.
The world is changing, it is much smaller than when I left India. Children are now global citizens, they can travel anywhere, do anything, but they still need a sense of place.
My son is now a young man, and I cannot imagine how he will find a wife. Will he find a nice Indian girl? What if he doesn’t? All parents worry in the same way. I can find a nice girl for him, but it is his journey. We must wait, like the people on the platform in Hyderabad. I have the same aspirations for my children as my parents had for me. There is comfort in these aspirations that travelled with me from Kerala. I am happy that my children are Irish, but they are also Indian, and the dharma chakra and the harp are now entwined.
My family has a sense of place in the Golden Vale. In my house on that tree-lined street, I hear the Angelus bell every day at 6pm. The bell will ring tomorrow and my faith, my friends and my family will still be the points on my compass. I think about Onam and Mahabali. I smile because I too wish, once a year, to return to Kerala.

Back in 2004, a young actor named Naveen Kumar began his acting journey with the television series Uttarayana. While working on another Kannada soap Nanda Gokula, the actor approached his director Ashok Kashyap with a request to change his name to Yash as he felt that the name was apt for his acting dreams. Now, 17 years later, the actor is referred to as ‘Rocking Star’ Yash. If the responses to KGF: Chapter 2 are anything to go by, Yash is not just a star in the Kannada film industry but is one who is recognised beyond language and geographical boundaries globally and can truly be called a global phenomenon.
KGF: Chapter 2 earned Rs 134.50 crore in India on Day 1 of its release. Trade analyst Ramesh Bala tweeted on Friday that the Hindi version of the film earned Rs 53.95 on its opening day, becoming the biggest opener in India. Trade expert Taran Adarsh also tweeted that the film demolished opening records of the 2018 film Thugs of Hindostan and the 2019 film War, which earned Rs 50.75 crore and Rs 51.60 crore on their opening days, respectively.
Literally, a mass rampage is going on in the Hindi belt as the film continues with its extraordinary run in the Hindi centres with no signs of slowing down at the box office. According to Taran Adarsh, the movie has collected another whopping Rs 42.90 crore on Saturday. It is estimated that the four-day extended weekend of KGF 2 will be upwards of Rs 180 crore as the business will see a significant jump on Sunday.
Back in 2018, when KGF: Chapter 1 was supposed to release, it was touted as the costliest Kannada film. The Yash starrer was facing severe competition from several Tamil and Telugu releases like Dhanush’s Maari 2, Vijay Sethupathi’s Seethakaathi and Varun Tej’s Antariksham 9000KMPH. The stiffest competition it was facing in the Hindi belt was Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero, the much-anticipated movie of 2018, which hit the screens on the same day as KGF. Even critics were not in the favour of the Kannada film. But, against all odds, KGF emerged as the winner at the box office at the time.
KGF: Chapter 1 reportedly earned Rs 25 crore on its opening day (worldwide box office collection), the highest opening in the Kannada film industry. On day 2, the film set several records in international markets including the United States of America. The film grossed around Rs 113 crore worldwide in the first week of its release, becoming the first Kannada film to gross Rs 100 crores.
In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, talking about the success of the first film Yash had stated, “I won’t say that doing better than a Shah Rukh Khan film in Hindi speaking belts is something I aspire to do. Ideally, I would want both the films to do well. But yes, the way North Indian audiences have responded has surprised all of us in the KGF team. In North India, they don’t know who I am. Yet they are clapping and cheering at my entry.”
The film enhanced ‘Rocking Star’ Yash’s image and helped him become a star outside the horizons of Sandalwood as the period action-drama was tailor-made for his abilities as a commercial cinema hero. So, what makes Yash such a phenomenon among the Hindi-speaking audience and the mass Hindi belts in North India?
The euphoria generated by Yash’s image has placed him ahead of all the other contemporary actors in the South region. He is making the most of these good times to strengthen his grip by choosing the correct scripts which are liked by not only Kannada-speaking audiences but across the globe.
His fans swear by him. I witnessed the Yash phenomenon when I went to watch KGF: Chapter 2 at 6 am on an IMAX screen in Mumbai. The theater was packed with hardcore Yash loyalists who would whistle and clap at every dialogue.
Sanjay Dutt, who plays the role of Adheera in the film, says that he enjoyed his time working with Yash. “He is an amazing actor and truly an action hero. He along with the team helped me a lot during the film and I am really happy that people are showering him with all the love that he truly deserves," he told us in a recent interview.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh adds that it is the actor’s image that has created such a massive fan base. “He is truly a rocking star. In recent times, we haven’t seen an actor with so much style and swag. The macho hero seems to have vanished. Today’s generation is missing the macho man and that is what Yash has tried to get back with KGF," he said.
The young actor started out like every other actor on a rather average note, with Jambada Hudugi (2007). He went on to score good hits, and even delivered a few flops as well, along the way. But he had a conviction within himself to take the Kannada industry to a global level.
During the promotions of KGF: Chapter 2, the actor mentioned that they wanted to bring respect to their industry (Sandalwood) and wanted to produce something big out of it. “We wanted the whole world to watch us. Earlier, looking at our industry people use to say Kannad movie, it’s not Kannad it’s Kannada. I hope people are realizing now,” said Yash, and claps were heard in the hall. Luckily, we got director Prashanth Neel, who carried a vision and skills, and Vijay Kiragandur who always wanted to keep the Kannada Industry on the world stage. And this is how we all came together and did it.”
While for everyone he is the public face of the film, very few people know that it was his personal and deep-rooted vision that got the franchise the stardom it has reached today, and if it wasn’t for him the story would almost have never made it to the big screen!
Director Prashant Neel mentioned that KGF’s 8-year-long journey gave them the confidence which helped them take the film to the next level. The filmmaker also added, “When we started, we never thought that we would be where we are today." Crediting Yash, Neel extended his gratitude and said, “The only person that had this vision was Yash. We started this as a small Kannada project and today the film is really big and the expectations are very high."
He also credits Yash for making a singular big Kannada origin movie into two parts and taking it to the world. We are also aware that Yash also penned his own dialogues since he believed in Rocky and could see through him.
Vishal Ramchandani, Business Head and Producer at Excel Entertainment, Mumbai, still remembers the time distributor Anil Thadani brought the makers of KGF: Chapter 1, and Yash, to their office in 2018 with a four-minute showreel of the film. “It was in Kannada, and though we did not know the language, it drew us in. Prashanth had created a fantastic world that blew us away. Later, Yash came down with a four-hour cut of the film, and literally translated every line for us. That was the kind of passion the filmmakers had, and we knew we would love to be associated with such a film,” recalls Vishal.

BOSTON (AP) — For many U.S. Christians, this weekend marks the first time since 2019 that they will gather in person on Easter Sunday, a welcome chance to celebrate one of the year’s holiest days side by side with fellow congregants.
The pandemic erupted in the country in March 2020, just ahead of Easter, forcing many churches to resort to online or televised worship. Many continued to hold virtual services last spring after a deadly winter wave of the coronavirus and as vaccination campaigns were still ramping up. But this year more churches are opening their doors for Easter services with few COVID-19 restrictions, in line with broader societal trends.
Among them are Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston, which since last June has once again required most churchgoers to attend Mass in person — though those with health risks may still watch remotely, and pastors have been asked to make space for social distancing in churches.
MC Sullivan, chief health care ethicist for the archdiocese, said celebrating Mass communally is important to how Catholics profess their faith. Church attendance has been trending upward, and parishioners are excited to gather again to commemorate Christ’s resurrection.
“It has been quite wonderful to see how well-attended Mass is right now. … It seems to have brought a lot of people back to the idea of what’s important to them,” she said.
While most pandemic restrictions have been lifted, some area parishes are holding Easter Sunday services outside, including a 6 a.m. sunrise Mass near the waterfront in South Boston.
Hundreds of people lit candles in the vast Cathedral of St. Paul, Minnesota, after Archbishop Bernard Hebda blessed the fire and lit the Paschal Candle to open the Easter Vigil service late Saturday.
The century-old cathedral echoed with the singing of the congregation as candles flickered in the darkness. Well past 8 p.m., wide-eyed children fascinated by the little flames and the cantors far outnumbered people wearing masks – the archdiocese rescinded all Covid protocols on April 1, while allowing the faithful and individual parishes to retain precautions if they wishes
Similarly the nearby Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, which became a community hub during protests over George Floyd’s killing in 2020, ended its mask requirement as of Palm Sunday and returned to shoulder-to-shoulder communion at the rail instead of in the pews. Ingrid Rasmussen, the pastor, said Easter attendance was expected to be similar to pre-pandemic levels — but split between those in pews and those joining remotely.
Christ Church Lutheran, an architectural landmark also in Minneapolis, is taking a cautious approach to loosening COVID protocols. But while masks and social distancing measures remain in place, there was an indoor Easter Vigil Saturday night, to be followed by a gospel procession to the middle of the sanctuary Sunday.
“The gift of being in the same physical space for the first time in three years is so grounding and beautiful,” said Miriam Samuelson-Roberts, the pastor. “We do not take it for granted.”
Peace Lutheran Church in Baldwin, Wisconsin, was holding Easter in the sanctuary again after spending 16 months hosting services, baptisms and funerals in the parking lot, surrounded by fields and dairy farms. But services continue to be broadcast via social media and local TV — that has been successful in attracting people from other communities.
“One thing I am certain is that should we have to restrict our gatherings — for any reason — we will certainly be drawing on our resources to ‘meet people where they are,’” said John Hanson, pastor.
In New York City, Middle Collegiate Church was gathering for its first in-person Easter service since 2019, only not in their historic Manhattan church, which was destroyed by fire two Decembers ago.
While they rebuild, they’re sharing space at East End Temple, where Rabbi Joshua Stanton will offer a prayer during the Easter celebration — at a time when the synagogue is observing its own holy days of Passover.
The Rev. Jacqui Lewis, Middle Collegiate’s senior minister, said everyone will have to be “vaxxed and masked,” and attendance in the 190-person temple is being capped at 150. Those leading the service, plus choir singers and musicians, took rapid COVID tests. Coffee hour will be outdoors, in the park across the street.
“We’ll miss it, but we will not hug for passing the peace. We’ll just bow to each other,” Lewis said. “We are watching numbers and will pivot as we need to stay safe.”
Just north of the city in Westchester County, Bedford Presbyterian Church also was keeping a close eye on local infection rates and following public health guidelines. The congregation will split into two in-person Easter services to allow for social distancing, the sanctuary’s windows will remain open and the church will use heavy-duty air purifiers.
“Ministers juggle a lot of concerns and expectations as we head into our third Easter with COVID looming,” said the Rev. Carol Howard Merritt, the senior pastor. “We know church wards off isolation and builds up community, so we try to figure out ways to worship in person and online.”

EWA BEACH, Hawaii (AP) — Hyo Joo Kim staved off a late charge from Hinako Shibuno to win the LPGA Tour’s LOTTE Championship on Saturday.
Kim closed with a 1-under 71 — following a bogey on the par-4 17th with a tap-in birdie on the par-5 18th — to finish at 11-under 277, two shots clear of Shibuno at breezy Hoakalei Country Club.
Kim earned $300,000 for her fifth LPGA Tour title.
“There were a lot of expectations but also a lot of support coming from friends and family as well,” said Kim, who won a major at age 19 in the 2014 Evian Championship. “There have been ups and downs and I think I am at the up part right now and I feel very proud, a little confident about the future and the outlook looks bright for me and I feel like I can do better moving forward.”
The 26-year old South Korean star had a three-stroke lead after both the second and third rounds and held off a final-round push from Shibuno, the Japanese player who a bogey-free 70.
Kim played the front nine in 1 under. She put her approach on the par-5 fifth hole, which played at 540 yards, inside of 3 feet to to set up a birdie. She birdied No. 8, but bogeyed the par-3 ninth hole that went from a third-round yardage of 146 yards to 184 for the last round.
Kim birdied No. 18 after a bit of drama. She missed the fairway with her tee shot and found the right rough. Her second shot crossed the fairway and nestled into the first cut of the left rough. With her third, however, Kim recovered with a pitch shot that left her with a tap-in,
Kim is one of 10 players who have played in all 10 LOTTE Championships since the tournament debuted in 2012.
“I have been playing in the LOTTE Championship since the inaugural championship and then because LOTTE is my personal sponsor I always wanted to win and do well,” she said.
Shibuno left herself with just over 200 yards to the front of the green with her second shot on 18, but her ball hit the lip of a greenside bunker and fell back in. She went on to par the hole.
“I was having very fun playing with her. My putting was a little, you know, couldn’t go in, so that was the (difference) with her,” Shibuno said.
Hye-Jin Choi was third at 7 under after a 69.
Brianna Do, who played in the final group alongside Kim and Shibuno, started the round three strokes back of the lead, but struggled with a 77 and tied for 12th. Do was seeking to become just the third local qualifier to win an LPGA Tour event and the first since Brooke Henderson in the 2015 Portland Classic. | https://www.news10.com/sports/hyo-joo-kim-wins-lpga-tours-lotte-championship/ | 2022-04-17T09:52:00Z | https://www.news10.com/sports/hyo-joo-kim-wins-lpga-tours-lotte-championship/ | false | 28 |
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Ten people were shot and two others injured in a shooting at a busy shopping mall in South Carolina’s capital that authorities do not believe was a random attack.
Three people who had firearms have been detained in connection with the Saturday afternoon shooting at Columbiana Centre, Columbia Police Chief W.H. “Skip” Holbrook said. He said at least one of those three people fired a weapon.
“We don’t believe this was random,” Holbrook said. “We believe they knew each other and something led to the gunfire.”
Authorities said no fatalities have been reported but that eight of the victims were taken to the hospital. Of those eight, two were in critical condition and six were in stable condition, Holbrook said. The victims ranged in age from 15 to 73, he said.
Daniel Johnson said he and his family were visiting from Alabama and were eating in the food court when they first heard shots ring out and started seeing people running.
Johnson said people were screaming for their children and spouses, knocking over tables in the food court as they fled.
“Everybody was trying to get outside,” Johnson said. “When I was coming out, you could see baby strollers turned over, people’s phones and left keys. It was kind of a hectic situation.”
Johnson said he gathered his wife, daughter and son and began heading toward the exit after letting the crowd clear out for a bit.
“My biggest thing was — and not to sound selfish — was to make sure that our family was OK and to get them out safely because this is not something that we love to do for Easter weekend.”
Heavy police presence continued in the area hours after the shooting, though officers began letting more traffic through the streets surrounding the shopping centers and strip malls that are usually packed on weekends. Officers were also stationed outside a nearby hotel designated as a reunification area for people at the scene of the shooting and their families.
Workers from a couple of stores remained clustered in the mostly empty parking lot Saturday evening, waiting for police to let them back inside to retrieve their car keys and personal belongings so they could leave. They said they did not hear or see anything during the shooting but followed the mall’s alert system and were evacuated by police shortly after. They declined to give their names, citing company policies.
“Today’s isolated, senseless act of violence is extremely upsetting and our thoughts are with everyone impacted,” Columbiana Centre said in a statement. “We are grateful for the quick response and continued support of our security team and our partners in law enforcement.”
The shooting is the latest in a rash of shootings at or near malls across the country.
A 15-year-old boy was shot in the head Wednesday outside Brooklyn’s Atlantic Terminal Mall. His injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. Officials said he was with a group of boys when they got into a dispute with a second group.
On Tuesday, a Southern California shoe store owner mistakenly shot a 9-year-old girlwhile firing at two shoplifters at the Mall of Victor Valley, police said.
And earlier this month, police saidsix people were killed and 12 others wounded in Sacramento, California, during a gunfight between rival gangs as bars closed in a busy area near the Downtown Commons shopping mall and the state Capitol. | https://www.cbs17.com/news/multiple-people-injured-in-shooting-at-south-carolina-mall/ | 2022-04-17T10:02:40Z | https://www.cbs17.com/news/multiple-people-injured-in-shooting-at-south-carolina-mall/ | false | 53 |
Michael Olugbode in Abuja
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has deployed officers and men across the nation to suspected flash points to conduct raids and beef up security during the Easter celebration.
A statement yesterday by the spokesman of the Service, Olusola Odumosu, said ahead of the Easter celebration, the Commandant General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr. Ahmed Audi, has ordered massive deployment of personnel from State Commands, Zonal Commands and the National Headquarters to suspected flash points to conduct raids and beef up security in places of worship, recreational facilities, markets, shopping malls, parks and gardens, other densely populated areas and Critical National Assets and Infrastructure to guard against unwanted activities of criminals whose intention is to sabotage government’s efforts and cause mayhem as Christians commemorate the crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Commandant General, said the action became necessary in view of security threats occasioned by the activities of bandits and criminals, adding that, it is imperative put in place new security measures to forestall any breach of peace at this time.
He re-affirmed that the Corps will not leave any stone unturned in making sure that its mandates are meticulously carried out to the satisfaction of all citizens, reteriating that, his personnel have been directed to be on red alert to look out for miscreants and mischief makers who would want to take advantage of the celebration to unleash terror attacks on innocent Nigerians and foreigners living in the country.
He noted that the activities of terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and other similar groups in the country portend serious dangers for the country, hence, the need for more drastic strategic action in order to prevent the manifestation of various threats being unleashed by the enemies of the country.
The Commandant General charged the Zonal Commanders and State Commandants to ensure that the presence of the Corps is felt in every nooks and crannies of the nation and further directed full implementation of the Critical Infrastructure Protection Strategic Action Plan of the Corps in preventing a repeat of attack on humans and the nation’s critical national assets and infrastructure as experienced recently.
Audi said the Easter period is one that calls for sober reflection and therefore called on all Nigerians especially christians to reflect on the sacrifices that Jesus Christ made on the cross of Calvary and emulate him by being each others keeper in order to preserve our collective patrimony and the sanctity of human life.
Audi charged state commandants to include the private security operatives in the security arrangement and warned that “as the private security guards man shopping malls, churches, recreation centres and other places with high influx of people, make sure you sensitize them to be extra vigilant and ensure they conduct thorough search on every moving objects or items as well as all individuals going in and out of such places and promptly alert security post around for immediate intervention if need be.”
He warned that bandits and criminals are on the prowl looking for where to cause mayhem and only a porous security arrangement would allow them to infiltrate any premises or environment to perpetrate their evil acts.
He called for support from members of the religious and traditional institutions, the local communities and members of the public, tasking them to report any suspicious movement or activities of individuals, groups or persons to the nearest security post.
The CG also charged parents and guardians to be mindful of their wards and engage them positively so they do not fall prey and be used as tools in the hands of criminals.
Personnel from the Intelligence units, Agro Rangers, Armed Squad, Special Forces, Rapid Response Squad, Special Female Squad, SWAT, K9, Counter Terrorism Units and the Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Explosive unit CBRNE) have been deployed to ensure adequate security.
Meanwhile, the CG felicitated with all Christians on the Easter celebration, assuring that the NSCDC in synergy with other security agencies will work tirelessly towards a hitch-free celebration. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/04/14/easter-nscdc-deploys-personnel-to-maintain-security/ | 2022-04-17T10:03:26Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/04/14/easter-nscdc-deploys-personnel-to-maintain-security/ | true | 2 |

Ex-Archbishop of Canterbury's heartfelt confession on William and Kate's wedding day
THE former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, delivered an emotional reflection on Prince William and Kate's royal wedding more than a decade ago, unearthed accounts show.
Kate Middleton curtsy’s to Queen at Prince Philip’s memorial
Today is Easter Sunday, a day millions of Christians across the planet join together to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Justin Welby, the current Archbishop of Canterbury, will today lead tributes in a series of sermons, reflecting on religion, as well as the issues currently facing Christians. Among these, reports suggest, will include an unprecedented intervention in the ongoing refugee crisis.
He is expected to declare Prime Minister Boris Johnson's plan to force unwanted asylum seekers to Rwanda as the "opposite of the nature of God".
The service is among Mr Welby's biggest events of the year, but will no doubt pale in comparison to the scenes his predecessor Mr Williams faced in 2011 when he wedded William and Kate.
The spectacular service was witnessed by a staggering two billion people across the globe, as well as 17.6 million people in the UK.
The televised spectacle was carried out at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.
And a decade later, Mr Williams discussed how he knew the couple's relationship would last after meeting them prior to the service.
He was speaking as part of BBC Two's documentary Royal Wedding: A Day to Remember.
Mr Williams said William and Kate "didn't seem unduly nervous" with the prospect of marriage.
He added: "Yes, as it happens, a couple billion people were watching, but they were still talking to one another, from the centre, where it matters.

"They looked as if they were quite enjoying themselves. And when they’re smiling at each other, I feel ‘Actually yes, yes, it is working’ and it did."
Since their marriage, the couple has had three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Last year, Mr Williams' successor Mr Welby was at the centre of a storm after claims he had married William's brother Harry to Meghan Markle three days before their televised spectacle emerged.
Harry and Meghan's wedding was equally well received by the public in 2018.

But Meghan caused a row after claiming the couple had actually been married prior to the occasion during an interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.
But Mr Welby defended the ceremony, telling La Repubblica newspaper "the legal wedding was on the Saturday", referring to May 19, their wedding day.
He said: "I signed the wedding certificate which is a legal document.
"And I would have committed a serious criminal offence if I signed it knowing it was false."
Around 12 million Britons tuned into Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah.
In one moment, Meghan said: "You know, three days before our wedding, we got married.
"No one knows that. But we called the Archbishop and we just said ‘look, this thing, this spectacle, is for the world, but we want our union between us’."
The ex-actress also told Oprah: "The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our back yard with the Archbishop of Canterbury... just the three of us."
Mr Welby, the Church of England's most senior cleric, did note he had met the couple before the wedding day, but said those discussions were "confidential".
He added: “I had a number of private and pastoral meetings with the Duke and Duchess before the wedding”.
As for what they discussed, Welby said: "The legal wedding was on the Saturday. But I won’t say what happened at any other meetings." | https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1597131/archbishop-of-canterbury-news-religion-easter-sunday-kate-middleton-william-spt | 2022-04-17T10:10:29Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1597131/archbishop-of-canterbury-news-religion-easter-sunday-kate-middleton-william-spt | false | 1 |
Pair arrested in Virginia are returned to Brockton, held in fatal shooting
BROCKTON — Following the fatal shooting of a 24-year-old Boston resident in Brockton last month, two people — Brendan Fernandes of Brockton and Destiny A. Fontes Silie of Warwick, Rhode Island — were arraigned Wednesday in Brockton District Court.
Fernandes, 33, and Silie, 25, pleaded not guilty to charges in connection to the shooting and were held.
On March 15 at approximately 4:44 p.m. in the vicinity of 401 East St., first responders found a male victim later identified as Brima Koroma, “suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chest,” a statement from the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office said.
Koroma was transported to Brockton Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Following the fatal shooting, the pair were seen driving away from the scene in separate cars, the DA said.
A day later, “Virginia State Police stopped Silie’s blue sedan in Chesterfield, Virginia,” where Fernandes and Silie were found together and arrested.

“The pair waived rendition and were returned to Brockton [Tuesday],” the DA's office said.
Arraignment and onwards
Fernandes pleaded not guilty to the three charges against him at Wednesday’s arraignment: murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition. He was held without bail, according to the DA’s office.

Silie also pleaded not guilty to her one charge of accessory after the fact of murder. She was held and her bail was revoked, as she has two other open cases out of Brockton.
The two will be back in court on June 16.
Both the Brockton Police and the Massachusetts State Police Unit assigned to the Plymouth County DA’s office investigated this case, and the case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Jeremy Beth Kusmin and Samantha Mullin. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2572580126612/pair-arrested-in-virginia-are-returned-to-brockton-held-in-fatal-shooting | 2022-04-17T10:10:47Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2572580126612/pair-arrested-in-virginia-are-returned-to-brockton-held-in-fatal-shooting | true | 2 |
The Assam police, on Sunday, brought to the state from Tripura, three suspected operatives of terrorist organisation Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB).
Assam police took custody of the three suspected JMB operatives in Tripura, on Saturday, after the chief judicial magistrate (CJM) of Sonamura granted transit remand to the Assam police for the three accused.
The transit remand was granted by the Sonamura CJM in Tripura after reviewing the case diary of the Assam police in connection with a case registered against the trio at Jogighopa police station in Bongaigaon district of Assam.
The Sonamura CJM court in Tripura also directed the Assam police to produce the three suspected JMB operatives before the Abhayapuri sub-divisional judicial magistrate in Bongaigaon district of Assam on Monday.

The three arrested suspected JMB operatives have been identified as: Imran Hossain (24), who serves as an Imam in a mosque in Tripura, Abul Kashem (33), who works as a teacher and Hamid Ali (33), a farmer.
Earlier, the trio was also arrested by the Tripura police on April 3 based on inputs from subsidiary intelligence bureau (SIB).
The trio was booked under several non-bailable sections – 120B, 121, 124a of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and 13(2), 18, 18b, 38 and 39 of Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
However, on April 8, a local court in Tripura had granted bail to the trio after the police failed to produce any evidence to justify the charges put against the trio under IPC and UAPA.

The very next day, a team of Assam police arrested the trio in connection with case registered at police station in Bongaigaon district of the state.
Initially, the court denied transit remand to the Assam police and asked it to produce case diary and evidences related to the case for which the trio was arrested.
On Saturday, the Sonamura CJP court in Tripura granted transit remand to the Assam police for the three suspected JMB operatives after hearing submissions of both the Assam police and the defence counsel. | https://nenow.in/north-east-news/assam/assam-police-custody-jmb-operatives-arrested-tripura.html | 2022-04-17T10:10:55Z | https://nenow.in/north-east-news/assam/assam-police-custody-jmb-operatives-arrested-tripura.html | true | 1 |

NYC subway shooting suspect Frank James to face court on terror charges
Subway shooting suspect Frank James is set to face federal court Thursday for allegedly turning a New York rush-hour commute into bloody terror.
The 62-year-old will be arraigned in Brooklyn on a terrorism-related charge Thursday afternoon — a day after he was nabbed following a 30-hour citywide manhunt for him.
James is accused of firing 33 rounds on the crowded Manhattan-bound N train in Sunset Park on Tuesday, leaving 29 innocent straphangers injured.
After fleeing, a smirking James was finally taken into custody in the East Village on Wednesday afternoon when he — and other eagle-eyed New Yorkers — called Crime Stoppers.
“I’m Frank, I’m the person you’re looking for. I’m surprised it took so long,” James told cops as they cuffed him, police sources told The Post.

Russia offers Ukrainian stronghold chance to surrender --Moscow promises to spare the lives of "nationalist militants" and "foreign mercenaries" in Mariupol | 16 April 2022 | The Russian Defense Ministry has called on the remaining Ukrainian forces, besieged at a steel plant in the coastal city of Mariupol, to lay down their arms, offering guarantees of life and safety, if they accept the proposal and halt all hostilities starting Sunday morning. "Considering the catastrophic situation at the Azovstal metallurgical plant, and being guided by purely humane principles, the Russian Armed Forces offer militants of nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries to stop hostilities and lay down their arms starting 6am Moscow time on April 17, 2022," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a late-night announcement on Saturday.

TOKYO -- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and visiting U.S. lawmakers on Saturday reaffirmed their commitment to working together under a long-standing alliance at a time of heightened global tensions, including threats from China and North Korea.
The delegation, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, agreed with Kishida on the importance of maintaining a "free and open Indo-Pacific region," according to the Foreign Ministry.
The six lawmakers' visit follows their earlier stop in Taiwan, where they made a public declaration of their support for the self-governing island democracy while issuing a warning to China. They met with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday.
China carried out military drills near Taiwan in protest of the delegation's visit. Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said China was prepared "to take strong measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity."
China claims Taiwan as part of its territory to be united by force if necessary. China and Taiwan split after a civil war in 1949.
Concerns in Tokyo, especially among conservative politicians seeking a more assertive role for their military, have heightened since the war in Ukraine began. Japan's pacifist constitution, adopted after its defeat in World War II, bans the use of force in international disputes. Japan keeps its overseas military operations to peacekeeping and humanitarian relief.
Officially, Japan does not recognize Taiwan, but they maintain friendly relations. China opposes any official official exchanges between Taiwan and other foreign governments.
The issue of whether the U.S. would intervene in the case of a Chinese attack on Taiwan remains open. Analysts say Japan's role in such a hypothetical situation is even more unclear because Japan is host to a huge U.S. military presence under the alliance.
Kishida told the representatives from Congress that the bilateral alliance superseded political party divisions, and he sought their understanding on Japan's role in working toward peace and prosperity in the region. Tokyo also asked for U.S. support for ongoing efforts by Japan to bring home Japanese citizens who were abducted by North Korea decades ago, the ministry said. North Korea returned some of the abducted people in 2004.
The U.S. delegation also included Sens. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Rob Portman of Ohio and Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas.

Stone pelters attacked a Hanuman Jayanti procession in the Jahangirpuri area in Delhi on 16th April 2022, and several people including policemen were injured in the incident. Owners of small shops in the Jahangirpuri area were also targeted in the violence that followed the stone-pelting. The shop owners said that they are fed up with the criminal activities of the Rohingyas and Bangladeshi Muslims who are living in the surrounding area. The local owners of small businesses who were attacked by the mob of Muslims in this area held the Rohingyas and Bangladeshi Muslims responsible for the crimes that took place in the area.
In a video shared by Pradeep Bhandari on Twitter, a local owner of a small shop is seen informing about the atrocities caused by the rioters to the small businesses there. He said, “When they (rioters) attacked, they also vandalized the Indian flag. They pelted stones on the idol of Lord Hanuman. Then they marched ahead and reached here. They broke this shop of ours. We had nothing to do with them. But they came here and broke our shop. We are fed up with them. These are the Bangladeshi Muslims.”
He further said, “There is a vegetable market in the C-block area. Our daughters, sisters, and ladies go there to purchase the daily vegetables. These people try to tease them and sometimes they even molest them. Sometimes they even snatch their mobile phones. All sorts of requests and complaints have been done but nobody in India has listened to us yet. We are Indians. We live in India. Nobody is interested in listening to us. They are the outsiders. They, the Rohingyas have come from Bangladesh. Their every concern is heard carefully.”
Talking about the criminal acts in the Jahangirpuri area in which the Bangladeshi Muslims and the Rohingyas are involved, he said, “There is no single crime they do not commit. They sell charas, weed, etc. They are the thieves and they only are the miscreants. They are a big bunch of thugs. They are nomads. They are heard but we are never listened to in India.”

— Pradeep Bhandari(प्रदीप भंडारी)🇮🇳 (@pradip103) April 16, 2022
He added, “And this has been their way right from the beginning. When Hindu brothers took the Rathyatra processions with an idol of Lord Hanuman on the chariot, they pelted stones on that. This is the root cause of this violence. There was no prior fight as claimed by many others. All this argument is false. A minimum of 60 injured people including a policeman are admitted to the hospital.”
The shop owner said that they are facing the atrocities by the Rohingyas just because they are Hindus. He said, “We are beaten there. No Hindu lives in that area anymore. Bangladeshi Muslims live in that C-block area. The area earlier housed a lane full of Hindus. But all of them are expelled by the Muslims. They beat Hindus and expelled them out of the area. Afraid Hindus sold their houses and left that area. This is not the story of one day. This problem exists here for a long time. Our sisters and daughters cannot safely pass from that area.”
The shop owner also said that there is a Chor Bazar in the Jahangirpuri area where all these miscreants sell and buy the stolen items. He said, “They have surrounded the whole road by putting the scrap all over here and there. You go there on Sunday. There is a Sunday Bazar which is actually a Chor Bazar. Due to this violence, it may not take place this Sunday. But you come after a month. Every stolen item is sold in that market. These Bangladeshi Muslims and Rohingyas sell the same in front of the Kali mandir and earn.”
When the Hanuman Jayanti Shobhayatra was passing through the C block of the Jahangiurpuri, suddenly some people pelted stones on the process from the rooftops in the area. After the attack, the people in the process also started pelting stones at the attackers in retaliation and triggered communal violence in the process. | https://www.opindia.com/2022/04/local-shopkeepers-blame-bangladeshis-rogingyas-for-jahangirpuri-riots/ | 2022-04-17T10:56:02Z | https://www.opindia.com/2022/04/local-shopkeepers-blame-bangladeshis-rogingyas-for-jahangirpuri-riots/ | true | 1 |
This was not what most people were thinking was going to happen when Juventus brought Massimiliano Allegri back into the fold.
Allegri was supposed to right the ship after two years of experimentation and relative disappointment. He was supposed to bring the team back to some semblance of order, and at least start the process of bringing the team back to their place at the top of the table.
Instead, we’ve gotten this — a team that can barely put together an attack, that can barely make the goalkeeper of a solidly mediocre team work. And a team that continues to make ridiculous defensive mistakes that allows their opponent to score off the limited chances they managed to create for themselves.
Such was Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Bologna, a game that deserves to be consigned to the toxic waste dumps of history. In the presence of a returning Alessandro Del Piero, who made his first trip to the Allianz since making his lap of honor 10 years ago, Juventus laid one of the most epic eggs they’ve laid in the last 15 years. Said boneheaded defensive mistake came seven minutes into the second half, gifting Marko Arnautovic a free run into the box to round Wojciech Szczesny and put Bologna into the lead. Juve only managed to come close to drawing level twice in the next 30 minutes, and Bologna often saw extended stretches of comfortable possession. It was only after a chaotic sequence in the 81st minute that saw Bologna lose two players to red cards in a matter of seconds that Juve looked to be remotely threatening, but even with a two-man advantage it too five of the eight allotted minutes of stoppage time for Dusan Vlahovic to head the ball home after an acrobatic assist by Alvaro Morata to rescue a point and minimize the potential damage in the chase for the top four, which now has the door kicked wide open for the chasing pack to come through.
Allegri was once again hampered by injuries. Along with long-term absentees Federico Chiesa, Kaio Jorge, and Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli continued to rehab from his knee sprain, Leonardo Bonucci was fit only for the bench, and Arthur twisted his ankle in training in the run up to the game, leaving a severe selection crunch in midfield. He did have Alvaro Morata and Mattia De Sciglio back, which suggested a return to the 4-2-3-1 that he had been experimenting with in previous games this month. But Max decided to get a little weird Saturday night, and ended up throwing out a crazy 4-3-3 formation that had players out of position all over the place. Szczesny lined up behind the back line of De Sciglio, Matthijs de Ligt, Giorgio Chiellini, and Luca Pellegrini. The midfield was where the crazy started. Adrien Rabiot was an obvious starter, but Allegri left a healthy Denis Zakaria on the bench and instead started Juan Cuadrado and Danilo alongside the Frenchman, with Paulo Dybala played on the right wing of an attacking trident beside Vlahovic and Morata.
Bologna were coming off two good results against AC Milan and Sampdoria, and were playing with the added inspiration of playing for their coach, Sinisa Mihajlovic, who is in treatment for a recurrence of his leukemia.
(On that note, I believe I speak for all of BWRAO’s writers and readers in wishing Sinisa the very best, and f$&# cancer.)
Mihajlovic’s assistants set the team up in a 3-5-2, with Lukasz Skorupski screened by Gary Medel, Adama Soumaoro, and Arthur Theate. Aaron Hickey and Michell Dijks served as the wing-backs, sandwiching the midfield of Roberto Soriano, Jerdy Schouten, and Mattias Svanberg. Former Juve prospect Riccardo Orsolini joined Arnautovic in attack.
With the crowd white-hot after Del Piero’s return, Juve looked to make a quick start, Vlahovic had a shot blocked within the first 60 seconds of the game, and Dybala blazed over from extreme distance just four minutes in. But the errors were already creeping in, and Orsolini really should have at least hit the target in the 10th minute after a cheap giveaway by Dybala deep in his own half.
A minute later Juve had one of their best chances of the entire game, with Vlahovic heading just over off a nice cross from Morata on the left. Dybala put a free kick a yard or two wide, while at the other end Orsolini again missed high after a Juve giveaway. Morata was twice in quick succession denied the opportunity to shoot by very good marking on right-sided crosses, and Danilo dragged wide with Juve’s last opportunity before the half.
Juve were doing what they’d done all month: create shots but not chances, and it left the Rossoblu an opportunity to play in the second half. In the first two minutes after the restart Svanberg and then Arnautovic put sighters on goal, and after Rabiot somehow turned a gorgeous cross by Pellegirni wide of the target, Bologna struck.
It was, of all people, de Ligt who was responsible for this one. Tasked with marking Arnautovic, the center-back abandoned the Austria international to close down Soriano, clearly expecting one of De Sciglio or Chiellini to take over. But neither did, giving the Austria international a free run in the box, and he promptly rounded a stranded Szczesny to put the ball into the net with a relatively simple finish.
Juve had something of a response as play resumed, with De Sciglio loading up from distance and having his deflected shot palmed over, and Danilo headed the ball off the post on the ensuing corner. Two minutes later De Ligt fired a header right at the keeper. A triple change came on the hour mark, including the withdrawl of an ailing de Ligt, but the move seemed to have the opposite effect of what was intended, and for the next 20 minutes Juve was almost completely toothless, often letting Bologna possess the ball for large stretches as Juve tried to chase the game.
It was the red cards that changed all that.
The play in question started with a smart through ball by Vlahovic that put Morata clean through on goal, evading one tackle from Medel before being brought down by Soumaoro. Skorupski ran out and punched the ball away, but only as far as Cuadrado, who somehow hit the crossbar with an open net gaping at him. The play was certainly a foul, and Juve were screaming for a penalty kick that would have potentially equalized, but on review referee Juan Luca Sacchi determined that the contact had been initiated just prior to Morata entering the area — which is debatable. However, had the penalty been given. Soumaoro was given his marching orders for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity, while Medel completely lost it, earning a pair of yellow cards within seconds of each other as he protested the decision.
But even two men to the good, Skorupski stayed a relatively bored presence between the sticks. It wasn’t until the keeper faced a shot, which turned out to be Vlahovic’s equalizer. Two minutes later, Rabiot got his head to a Cuadrado cross, but Skorupski covered it well and held it, maintaining his team’s point as Juve’s failure completed itself.
LE PAGELLE
WOJCIECH SZCZESNY - 6. One of the few Juve players that really did everything he was supposed to today. Faced down the only non-goal shot he saw hit the target with ease, and he wasn’t at all at fault for the goal.
MATTIA DE SCIGLIO - 6. Shared the team lead in tackles and almost equalized in the minutes after the opener.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT - 5. A rare mistake allowed Arnautovic in, and then he came off looking injured, although Allegri later clarified that he was feeling ill. Still, that mistake was a big’un, and one Juve really couldn’t afford.
GIORGIO CHIELLINI - 6. Deuces wild on his counting stats, and he was the only Juve player to block a shot. Removed later on for offensive purposes.
LUCA PELLEGRINI - 5.5. Made a couple of good tackles upfield and put in a few decent crosses, he just needed more of everything today.
JUAN CUADRADO - 6.5. Led the team with six key passes even though he was playing out of position. The man’s a machine.
DANILO - 6. Hit the post with a header and amassed two key passes in another creditable display as an emergency midfielder.
ADRIEN RABIOT - 5.5. Co-led the team in tackles but didn’t do enough to add dynamism on the attacking end. He was the only natural midfielder in the team today and was relatively outshone by the converted full-backs/wingers.
PAULO DYBALA - 5. Dybala is not a winger. Allegri learned this himself during his last season in charge. It was puzzling that he was posted in a position we know he doesn’t succeed in when there were other tactical options. Still, two key passes doesn’t make up for a relatively anonymous display that foisted all the creative work on Cuadrado.
DUSAN VLAHOVIC - 6. Another “there by the grace of goal” rating for him, although his instincts to get to his spot and redirect Morata’s bicycle kick were superb. But that was his only shot on target in seven, which is simply not good enough.
ALVARO MORATA - 6.5. Made a couple of really nice crosses, and his acrobatic bike set up the salvage operation points-wise
SUBS
FEDERICO BERNARDESCHI - 4.5. Just can’t push the needle anymore, his main contribution was set piece delivery. That included the one on the equalizer, but he needs more than that.
DENIS ZAKARIA - 5. Only completed 57.1 percent of his passes and didn’t provide the oomph in midfield that he usually does.
LEONARDO BONUCCI - 6. Picked up a key pass and just missed a shot late, relatively solid defensively.
ALEX SANDRO - 5. Hard to tell where exactly he was playing along the back line, but didn’t really do anything going forward.
MOISE KEAN - NR. On at the last minute as a last-ditch attacking sub but didn’t touch the ball.
MANAGER ANALYSIS
There is a lot to unpack here, but the main takeaway for Allegri is that he got far too cute.
This exact same personnel group would have worked very well in a 4-2-3-1, which I would wager have been a much better overall play, as it would’ve put more players in position to succeed. Dybala doesn’t belong out on the right wing and Allegri should know better than that, while using a three-man midfield with a healthy Zakaria on the bench and Cuadrado buried as a mezz’ala, which is an absolute waste of him, is beyond comprehension. This game was a slog, and perhaps the nature of this team right now lends itself to such slogs, but this needn’t have been this way, and Allegri’s team selection was a big part of the reason why.
His post-match press conference is another thing that has me doing spins. Allegri is prone to toxic positivity in his pressers, but he took the cake when he insisted that one should look at the glass half-full after the match, as earlier in the season Juve would have perhaps lost a game like this. Allegri obviously has far more experience and coaching badges than I do myself, but when you only create four shots on target against a mid-table team and need them to have to players sent off before you look remotely threatening, the glass doesn’t even have anything in it. It’s just an empty glass.
With Juve’s top four place now relatively precarious pending Monday’s results, things are going to have to change.
LOOKING AHEAD
Juve’s failure has opened the door for Roma, who with a win on Monday could close to within three points of fourth. Fortunately, that game happens to be against Napoli, so Juve could well end up gaining ground in the standings if the Partenopei cooperate. It’s also important to note that Juve own the head-to-head tiebreaker over Roma.
Juve’s next match comes on Wednesday, as they look to protect their 1-0 aggregate lead in the Coppa Italia semifinal against Fiorentina. Then comes a potentially tricky away game against Sassuolo on Monday. | https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com/2022/4/17/23028713/juventus-bologna-2022-serie-a-round-33-final-score-result-match-recap-analysis-team-management | 2022-04-17T11:02:45Z | https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com/2022/4/17/23028713/juventus-bologna-2022-serie-a-round-33-final-score-result-match-recap-analysis-team-management | true | 1 |

He was born on 9 February 2021 at the Portland Hospital in London.
Princess Eugenie and Mr Brooksbank were joined by Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were accompanied by their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte as they stepped out in the spring sunshine for the event at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
The Easter service at Windsor is a staple in the royal calendar.
However, the Queen will not be joining other family members at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, for this year's service.
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, who represented the Queen at Thursday’s Royal Maundy service at the same chapel, are also understood not to be attending the Easter Sunday service.

BEIJING — Here is a riddle: China has more than enough power plants to meet electricity demand. So why are local governments having to ration power across the country?
The search for an answer begins with the pandemic.
"Coal consumption shot up like crazy in the first half of the year because of a very energy-intensive, industry-driven recovery from the COVID-19 lockdowns," says Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air in Helsinki.
In other words, as China's export machine roared back to life, electricity-guzzling factories churned out fast fashion and home appliances for customers in the United States and elsewhere. Regulators also loosened controls on coal-intensive sectors like steelmaking as a way to recover from China's pandemic-induced economic slowdown.
Now thermal coal has tripled in price on some commodities exchanges. About 90% of coal used in China is domestically mined, but mining volumes from some of China's northern provinces have dropped by as much as 17.7%, according to respected Chinese financial magazine Caijing.
Normally, those higher coal prices would have been passed on to energy consumers. But electricity utility rates are capped. This mismatch has pushed power plants to the brink of financial collapse because higher coal prices have forced them to operate at a loss. In September, 11 Beijing-based power generation companies penned an open letter petitioning a central policy decision-making body, the National Development and Reform Commission, to raise electricity rates.
"When coal prices are very high, what happens is that it's not profitable for a lot of coal plants to generate electricity," Myllyvirta says.
The result: Coal-fired power plants have simply shut down.
"Now we have a situation where in some provinces up to 50% of coal-fired power plants are pretending to be out of order or have run so low on coal that they can't generate," he says. About 57% of China's power comes from burning coal.
Traffic jams and closed factories
In China's north, sudden power outages have led to flickering traffic lights and immense car jams. Some cities have said they are shutting off elevators to conserve energy. To fight off the autumn chill, some residents are burning coal or gas indoors; 23 people were rushed to the hospital in northern Jilin city with carbon monoxide poisoning after doing so without proper ventilation.
To the south, factories have been cut off from electricity for more than a week. The lucky ones are rationed three to seven days of power at a time.
Energy intensive sectors like textiles and plastics face the strictest power rationing, a measure meant to ameliorate both the current shortages but also work toward long-term emissions reduction goals. China's latest five-year economic plan targets a 13.5% reduction in the amount of energy used to produce each unit of gross domestic product by 2025.
Ge Caofei, a manager at a textile dyeing factory in southern Zhejiang province, say the local government is rationing power by cutting off his electricity three out of every 10 days. He says he even looked into buying a diesel generator, but his factory is just too big to be powered by one.
"Customers need to plan in advance when placing orders, because our lights are on for seven days, then off for three," he says. "This policy is unavoidable because every [textile] factory around us is under the same cap."
Rationing delays supply chains
The power rationing has created long delays in global supply chains that rely on Chinese factories.
Viola Zhou, a sales director at Zhejiang cotton textile printing firm Baili Heng, says her company used to fill orders in 15 days. Now the wait time is about 30 to 40 days.
"There is no way around these rules. Let's say you buy a generator; regulators can easily check your gas or water meter to see how many resources you are consuming," Zhou says by phone from Shaoxing, a city known for its textile industry. "We can only follow in the steps of the government here."
China is reforming its energy grid so power plants have more flexibility in how much they can charge. Some of those higher power costs will be passed from factories to global consumers. Long term, the power rationing highlights how urgently needed renewable energy and natural gas projects are.
The national energy policy commission said this week it was working to stabilize medium- and long-term coal contracts between mines and power plants and will reduce the amount of coal that power plants must keep on hand, in a bid to ease the financial pressure on the sector.
More immediate problems are on hand with winter approaching. About 80% of heating in China is coal-fired. Coaxing power plants to operate in the red could be a challenge.

In response to the disastrous situation at the Montana State Hospital that has resulted in the loss of federal Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements, Gov. Greg Gianforte’s office released a statement saying the governor shares the Department of Health and Human Services’ commitment to “ensuring there are no disruptions to patient care.”
Um, what?
Have there been no disruptions in care for the four patients who died during Gianforte’s tenure due to lack of adequate care? Was there no disruption in care for the woman who was severely beaten by another patient recently when the two were left unsupervised? Was there no disruption in care for the patients infected with COVID-19 due to lack of safety protocols at the hospital?
The governor himself, meanwhile, refuses to take questions directly from news media. If he ever does, however, here are just a few he might want to address: How many times have you been to the hospital during this crisis to see for yourself what’s going on? Have you met with the employees still there after many others have left due to inadequate pay and unsafe working conditions? Have you spoken personally with Medicaid and Medicare officials to ask what can be done to prevent the loss of reimbursements for patient care?
The statement from the administration is so out of touch with reality it is confounding. And Gianforte’s personal silence on the crisis is deafening.
The statement also lays blame at the feet of previous administrations, saying the hospital’s problems have been a long time in the making. However, those previous administrations didn’t face repeated warnings from the feds that hospital conditions were unsafe and unacceptable. As some lawmakers have suggested, Gianforte could have made COVID-19 relief funds available to address the crisis, or called in the National Guard to help fill staff shortages and ensure adequate patient supervision.
The only tangible step DPHHS has taken to address the crisis seems to be seeking a third-party contractor to run the department’s health care facilities at a cost of some $2 million-plus. At a recent unprecedented state hospital employee meeting, workers voiced their resentment toward hiring a contractor when the employees’ suggestions for addressing the situation have been largely ignored.
Governor, you were elected to provide leadership for all the people of Montana. You were elected especially to look after the needs of our most vulnerable, like the state hospital’s 142 patients.
The state hospital at Warm Springs was established 145 years ago, before Montana was a state, as a safety net for those dealing with mental health crises. The current administration seems to be content to stand by and watch while patients and staff endure perilous conditions and the institution collapses into rubble.

Police respond to Gateshead 'stabbing' near Saltwell Park on busy Easter weekend
A man has been arrested for allegedly 'stabbing' another male close to a busy Gateshead park, over the Easter weekend.
Police were called to Durham Road, near Saltwell Park, at 4:30pm on Saturday 16 April.
It was reported that a group of offenders got out of a vehicle and assaulted the male victim, who suffered non-life threatening injuries to his arm consistent with having been caused by a bladed article.
A Northumbria Police spokesperson said: “An investigation is ongoing and officers believe all parties involved are known to each other."
A 33-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and remains in police custody at this time.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s Congress is set to vote on a constitutional reform promoted by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador that would undo much of the market opening in electrical power carried out by his predecessor. It is unclear if López Obrador has the votes to push the reform through. But the U.S. and other countries have raised concerns the move will affect foreign investors and violate trade agreements.
WHY DID MEXICO INVITE FOREIGN COMPANIES IN?
Prior the 2013 energy reform, Mexico faced several problems: high electricity rates, scarce generating capacity and dirty power plants that often burned fuel oil to produce electricity. So the government built pipelines to import cleaner U.S. natural gas, allowed companies to buy electricity from independent generators and gave foreign and private firms incentives to install cleaner wind-power turbines or gas-fired plants.
WHY DOES MEXICO’S PRESIDENT WANT TO UNDO REFORM?
Mexico may have given private and foreign firms too many incentives. They received preferential treatment in pricing and purchasing, and didn’t have to pay the state-owned utility, the Federal Electricity Commission, fees for distributing power through government-owned transmission lines.
The state-owned utility lost market share and income, but still had to maintain transmission lines. Worse, with some government plants idle, fuel oil — a dirty byproduct of Mexico’s antiquated oil refineries — began building up, until there was no place to store it.
WHAT DOES THE CURRENT REFORM AIM TO DO?
López Obrador likes state-owned companies and doesn’t want the Federal Electricity Commission to go bankrupt or lose more market share. So he has proposed guaranteeing the commission a market share of at least 54% of the electrical power market, with private firms given “as much as 46%.” The commission would be given preference, buying power from its own plants first, while often cleaner energy from private generators would be last in line.
For example, the reform puts private natural gas plants almost last in line — ahead of only government coal-fired plants — for rights to sell electricity into the grid, despite the fact they produce power about 24% more cheaply.
WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSAL?
Private companies, mainly from Spain and the United States, invested billions of dollars in Mexico to build wind, solar and gas-fired plants under the terms of the 2013 reform. Now, suddenly, the government wants to change those rules.
And companies with plants, factories and stores in Mexico need to plan how much their energy costs will be and how green the energy will be, so they often signed long-term power supply contracts with private generators. These contracts could now be declared illegal.
Mexican laws require free competition in the power industry. And the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement, or USMCA, prohibits member nations from passing laws that favor domestic producers or state-owned firms.
WHAT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN?
A lot of lawsuits and possibly trade disputes. Critics say the reform will hurt investors and their confidence in Mexico. The companies are likely to file for court injunctions, and the U.S. government may file a USMCA complaint, which could eventually result in compensatory tariffs on Mexican products.
López Obrador has already passed a law giving the state utility more discretion in deciding whose electricity to buy, but it remains stalled by court challenges. The president may not get the two-thirds majority in Congress needed to pass the constitutional reforms he seeks.
Critics say the reforms may end up forcing Mexicans — and the U.S. retail and auto companies that work in Mexico — to buy more expensive, dirtier electricity.
IS IT ONLY ELECTRICITY THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED?
No. López Obrador also included a clause declaring lithium — a key component of batteries for electric cars and other devices — a strategic mineral that only the government can mine. A Chinese company has invested in a yet-unopened Mexican mine. Even if the electrical reforms fails, López Obrador has vowed to send another bill on the lithium issue to Congress separately. | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/business/ap-business/explainer-why-is-us-upset-about-mexicos-electricity-law/ | 2022-04-17T11:43:34Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/business/ap-business/explainer-why-is-us-upset-about-mexicos-electricity-law/ | true | 24 |

Man City's Grealish: Guardiola's changes against Liverpool 'too little, too late'
Jack Grealish does not believe Manchester City's season has been derailed because of their FA Cup semi-final defeat by Liverpool on Saturday, but admitted that the substitutions they made came too late in the game.
Pep Guardiola's team went three goals down in the clash at Wembley and managed to create some late drama with two late goals, but were unable to complete the comeback.
They are still competing on two fronts as they sit top of the Premier League table and are set to face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Editors' Picks
What did Grealish say?
City had hoped to secure the European and domestic treble this season but went down 3-2 at Wembley to go crashing out of the competition.
Grealish, however, insists there is no time to dwell on the FA Cup exit, telling reporters: “You just go in there and look at the talent and the experience that we have in that dressing room — I don't think anyone else in the league has a dressing room like it.
"Our performances, the competitions we are in and where we are in the league speak for themselves.
“We just have to pick ourselves up, go again and hopefully by the end of the season we'll have [won] the Premier League and the Champions League.
“I'm not going sit here and say excuses. I just think we came out slow. That was it.
“Liverpool have been the same as us, they've travelled the same amount as us in the last few weeks, played the same as us.
“We didn't have the first half that we wanted to but we came in at half-time and the manager made a few changes. I think we were much better for it but I think in the end it was too little, too late."
What next for Man City?
The Premier League leaders are in action again on Wednesday when they host Brighton at the Etihad Stadium.
The reigning Premier League champions are one point clear of second-placed Liverpool.
Liverpool, meanwhile, can still go on to claim a quadruple as they remain in contention for the Premier League and Champions League titles as well as the FA Cup. | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/man-city-grealish-guardiola-changes-against-liverpool-too-little-/bltfc6c8cab26382403 | 2022-04-17T12:01:01Z | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/man-city-grealish-guardiola-changes-against-liverpool-too-little-/bltfc6c8cab26382403 | false | 16 |

Russia renews its attacks on Ukrainian capital Kiev and other cities, while President Zelenskyy says the elimination of Mariupol's defending forces will jeopardise talks to end the conflict — now in its 53rd day.

Russia 'destroyed' military factory outside Kiev
Russia's defence ministry has said it struck a military plant outside Kiev, as Moscow intensifies its attacks on the Ukrainian capital.
"During the night, high-precision, air-launched missiles destroyed an ammunitions factory near the settlement of Brovary, Kiev region," the ministry said in a statement on Telegram.
The mayor of Brovary, Igor Sapozhko, said that "some infrastructure objects were hit" in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Russian ultimatum to Ukraine forces in Mariupol expires
A Russian ultimatum for the last remaining Ukrainian forces in Mariupol to surrender has expired, with Moscow poised for a major strategic victory in the southeastern port city.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk urged Russian forces to allow evacuations from Mariupol, which Moscow's forces claim to have brought under their control, though Ukrainian fighters remain holed up in the city's fortress-like steelworks.
Moscow on Saturday issued an ultimatum to the fighters, urging them to lay down their arms by 6:00 am Moscow time (0300 GMT) and to evacuate before 13:00 pm (1000 GMT).
Ukraine, Russia fail to agree on evacuation convoys
Ukraine and Russia have failed to agree about humanitarian convoys for the evacuation of civilians from conflict-affected areas, Ukraine's deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk has said.
"We have not been able to agree ... about ceasefires on evacuation routes. That is why, unfortunately, we are not opening humanitarian corridors today," she said on her Telegram account.
Vereshchuk also said that the Ukrainian authorities have asked for humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians and wounded Ukrainian troops from the besieged port of Mariupol.

Talking to Putin achieves nothing: Italy's Draghi
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has complained in a newspaper interview that the diplomatic efforts by the West to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt operations in Ukraine had so far led nowhere.
"I am beginning to think that those people are right when they say 'It is useless to talk to him, it's just a waste of time'," Draghi told the daily Il Corriere della Sera.
Draghi said he had always felt French President Emmanuel Macron, who currently holds the EU's rotating presidency, "is right to try every possible avenue of dialogue."
Pope implicitly criticises Russia over Ukraine
The 85-year-old pope made his comments in his twice-yearly "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) address to about 50,000 people in St Peter's Square after a long Mass.
Francis dedicated much of the address, traditionally an overview of world conflicts, to Ukraine, comparing the shock of another conflict in Europe to the shock apostles who the gospel says saw the risen Jesus.
"Our eyes, too, are incredulous on this Easter of war. We have seen all too much blood, all too much violence. Our hearts, too, have been filled with fear and anguish, as so many of our brothers and sisters have had to lock themselves away in order to be safe from bombing," he said.
Mayor: Missile attack damages infrastructure in Brovary
A missile attack has damaged infrastructure in the city of Brovary, near Ukraine's capital of Kiev, according to Igor Sapozhko, the mayor of Brovary.
There were no details on the extent of the destruction and potential casualties in the alleged strike in the early hours of Sunday. The report could not be immediately verified.
Relative calm prevailed in Kiev and nearby areas for weeks after Russian forces began withdrawing from the region last month to focus on the eastern Donbass area. But that calm has been brought to an end by renewed Russian air strikes.

Local media: Explosions heard in Ukraine's capital Kiev
Fresh explosions have been heard in Kiev, local media has reported. Overnight, air raid sirens went off over nearly all of Ukraine.
There was no official explanation for the Kiev explosions in the early hours on Sunday. The reports could not be immediately verified.
Kiev: Russia's troops facing provisions problems
Ukraine's Army has said Russian troops are having significant problems with provisions and there is growing discontent.
"Russian servicemen constantly complain about the lack of rotation, equipment that constantly breaks down, the quality of the fuel supplied and food," said Oleksandr Shputun, representative of the General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Shputun said Russian soldiers are continuing looting and violent actions against the civil population and that these actions are "encouraged by their military command". Russia has repeatedly denied targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
UK intelligence: Russian troops regrouping in east
Russia is committed to compelling Ukraine to abandon its Euro-Atlantic orientation and asserting its own regional dominance, British military intelligence has said.
Russian forces are continuing to redeploy combat and support equipment from Belarus towards eastern Ukraine, including to locations close to Kharkiv and Severodonetsk, the UK Ministry of Defence tweeted in a regular bulletin.
Russian artillery continues to strike Ukrainian positions throughout the east of the country where Russia plans to renew its offensive activity, the bulletin added.
Russia calls Ukrainian forces to surrender in Mariupol
Russia's defence ministry has said that if Ukrainian forces still fighting in Mariupol lay down their arms starting at 6 am Moscow time (0300 GMT) on Sunday, their lives will be spared, Tass news agency said.
Tass quoted Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, director of the Russian National Center for Defence Management, as saying Moscow's offer was prompted by "the catastrophic situation" in the plant as well as "purely humane principles."
He added: "We guarantee that the lives of all those who lay down their arms will be spared." Under the terms of the proposed deal, the remaining defenders in the plant would leave between 6 am and 1 pm Moscow time, without weapons or ammunition.
Austria: Putin to cooperate on Bucha investigation
Austria’s chancellor said after meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow this past week that the Russian president is “in his own war logic” when it comes to Ukraine.
Karl Nehammer told NBC in an interview that he thinks Putin believes he is winning the war and he confronted Putin with what he had seen in Bucha, and "it was not a friendly conversation.”
He said Putin said “he will cooperate with an international investigation, on one hand, and on the other hand, he told me that he doesn’t trust the Western world. So this will be the problem now in the future.”
EU to target Russia's Sberbank, other banks with sanctions
The European Union's forthcoming sanctions on Russia will target banks, in particular Sberbank, as well as oil, the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen told a German newspaper.
Bild am Sonntag, in an interview, asked her to name the key points of a planned sixth round of sanctions.
"We are looking further at the banking sector, especially Sberbank, which accounts for 37 percent of the Russian banking sector. And, of course, there are energy issues," she said. "The top priority is to shrink Putin's revenues," she added.
Russian Mariupol general died, buried
A Russian general whose troops have been besieging the Ukrainian port of Mariupol was buried in St. Petersburg after dying in battle, the governor said.
Maj. Gen. Vladimir Frolov was deputy commander of the 8th Army, which Russian media identified as being among the forces battering Mariupol for weeks.
Gov. Alexander Beglov released a statement saying Frolov “died a heroic death in battle” without saying where or when he was killed. Photographs on Russian news websites showed his grave at a St. Petersburg cemetery piled high with red and white flowers.

How do you salvage the career of a former first-round pick whose first two seasons were plagued by inconsistency and filled with struggles?
That’s the riddle new Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and his offensive staff are trying to solve when it comes to Austin Jackson considering the 18th pick in the 2020 NFL draft struggled mightily in his second season.
While respected for his work ethic and his commitment to his craft, none of those traits prevented Jackson from being a liability for a handful of plays in just about every game during the 2021 season.
He got moved from left tackle to left guard early in the season because his inconsistent hand placement and lackluster footwork allowed defenders to cross his face with ease, contributing to the routine collapse of the quarterback’s pocket.
And even at left guard the struggles continued. As a byproduct, Miami’s offensive line led the NFL in pressures allowed in 2021.
In fairness to Jackson, everyone on last year’s offensive line was a problem at times. But he’s the only lineman Miami used a first-round pick to select, so the standards for the former USC standout are higher and he didn’t live up to them.
As a result, the Dolphins’ decision-makers made it a priority to beef up the left side of the offensive line this offseason.
Terron Armstead, a three-time Pro Bowler, was signed to a five-year, $75 million contract to play left tackle, and Miami added Connor Williams, a 51-game starter for the Cowboys, was signed to a two-year, $14 million deal.
Considering Williams has spent all of his NFL career at left guard, there’s a strong chance that’s where he’ll settle into on the starting lineup once the Dolphins begin their on-field work. If that’s the case, then Jackson’s likely on the move again.
However, Williams did play left tackle at the University of Texas, and the Dolphins’ new focus is to fortify the right side of the offensive line, which is critical because it protects left-handed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s blindside.
“I played right tackle. This isn’t the first time playing a new role for me. Played it in high school and college. It’s not completely new for me,” Jackson said Wednesday, making it clear he feels he’s an offensive tackle. “At end of the day I have to make sure I get the technique and fundamentals right.”
As the roster stands now the Dolphins have half a dozen players vying for two starting spots on the right side, and Jackson’s draft status will likely have him viewed as a front-runner.
Maybe a shift to the right side, where he might compete with Liam Eichenberg, Robert Hunt, Solomon Kindley, Robert Jones and Greg Little, for the starting guard and right tackle spot in what’s supposed to be a wide-zone running scheme, provides a resurgence.
Maybe Jackson improves with better coaching or because Miami’s running a different scheme, one his athleticism seemingly should fit.
“What I like about this scheme is it’s very detailed,” Jackson said. “At the end of the day we have to rely on the concepts we know, study and train for.”
Maybe Jackson improves with a better diet and alterations he’s made to his workout program, some of which he said Armstead has inspired.
Maybe age and experience helps him take that next step, becoming more reliable.
His nimble feet give him a chance to thrive in this new scheme if Jackson can get to the second level as a blocker and wreak havoc on linebackers.
Or maybe none of that matters and Miami learns Jackson isn’t starter material, and he gets chalked up as a first-round bust.
For two and a half decades the Dolphins have had a solid run of offensive linemen selected in the first round turning into respectable NFL starters.
Billy Milner, who was taken 25th in the 1995 draft, was the last first-round bust as an offensive lineman. He only started nine of the 20 games he played in Miami, and played in a total of 30 NFL games because of a career-ending neck injury he suffered in St. Louis after the Dolphins traded him to the Rams for tight end Troy Drayton.
At this point it’s too early to tell what direction Jackson’s career heads in because the Dolphins won’t put pads on for months, and that’s the appropriate time to evaluate offensive linemen.
So until then all Jackson can do is work to ensure he doesn’t become an afterthought for the 2022 team.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors needed just four minutes to win. All it took was a lineup they’d never used.
Of course, that lineup featured Golden State’s Big 3 — Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. A group that reunited on the playoff stage for the first time in 1,038 days after playing just 11 minutes together in the regular season.
Within a dominant Game 1 win against the Denver Nuggets, the veteran trio that sharpened their playoff teeth playing in the 2015 Warriors’ “death lineup” might’ve found themselves a new lethal closing crew.
This lineup is nameless still, but potentially deadly: Curry, Thompson, Green, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.
Toying with a close game near the end of the first half, down three with just over four minutes left, coach Steve Kerr deployed the small-ball group. They ended the half with an 11-point lead they rolled into a 123-107 rout of Denver on Saturday night.
“It’s a good lineup,” Kerr said. “It’s kind of what we’ve always done here, depending on personnel.”
Kerr has often flirted with this three-guard lineup, but injuries prevented the full-go. Thompson didn’t return from his injuries until Jan. 9, which is when Green fell with his back injury. A Wiggins illness followed by Curry’s foot sprain kept this particular five off the court together all year.
And though this lineup made their debut in the playoffs, it’s clear it could be their silver bullet. In those few minutes to close out the first half, a sluggish offensive pace shifted into high gear with more transition opportunities. That exploited Denver’s weak perimeter defense and somewhat neutralize likely MVP Nikola Jokic — not the fastest runner, to his own admission.
The four-minute run began with a Poole 3-pointer that tied the game 43-43, then a Poole and-1 layup and tongue wag to the elated Chase Center crowd that’s learned with this group when a playoff run is brewing.
Minutes later, Poole made a quick inbound pass to Green, who found Thompson at the three-point line before the Nuggets defense could gather themselves — prompting Thompson to breeze by Jokic into open space for a layup. Thompson added on a 3-pointer at the top of the arc two possessions later on a feed from Poole.
Curry — playing off the bench in his first game back from injury — scored his first points next, catching Aaron Gordon sleeping on defense and cutting to the basket for a quick Green feed and layup. Curry punctuated the run with his first 3-pointer of the game to give the Warriors a double-digit lead with seconds remaining.
A whole half remained, but the game was over. Maybe this first-round series, too.
“When you look at it on paper, what we all can do, there’s just a lot of space on the floor,” Curry said. “A lot of shooting, a lot of playmaking; and if we can defend and rebound, you push in transition, it’s really hard to guard us. Technically, I guess, we’re undersized, but you have to bring a defensive force and effort and energy, and then you can again just turn it into an advantage on the other end of the floor.”
Poole finished the night with 30 points, Thompson with 19 and Curry and Wiggins finished with 16 each. In one of his most impressive games of the season, Wiggins collected nine rebounds, too.
With death lineups, though, collective effort means more than individual performance. In one game played, this new closing unit holds a plus-127.3 net rating — totaling from a 181 offensive rating and 54 defensive rating. With the game blown out, the group of five hit the bench early. But bet they might be finishing off some games.
This group played five minutes together — their defense held together by Draymond Green’s ability to get under Jokic and limit his production on offense — but a few minutes are plenty to win a game.
“Even if we are pretty comfortable playing together, we haven’t played together,” Poole said. “But being able to feel each other out and how dangerous we are and finding ways to get stops and getting out in transition, we were able to capitalize.” | https://www.thereporter.com/2022/04/17/in-curry-thompson-and-greens-return-to-the-playoffs-a-new-death-lineup-is-created/ | 2022-04-17T12:34:45Z | https://www.thereporter.com/2022/04/17/in-curry-thompson-and-greens-return-to-the-playoffs-a-new-death-lineup-is-created/ | false | 11 |
‘Band of snow showers’ moves through King, Pierce counties

Pope makes Easter plea for Ukraine peace, cites nuclear risk
VATICAN CITY (AP) — On what is supposed to be Christianity’s most joyful day, Pope Francis made an anguished Easter Sunday plea for peace in the “senseless” war in Ukraine and in other armed conflicts raging in the world, and cited the “troubling” risk of nuclear warfare.
“May there be peace for war-torn Ukraine, so sorely tried by the violence and destruction of this cruel and senseless war into which it was dragged,” Francis said, speaking from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Square.
The pontiff had just finished celebrating Easter Mass in the square packed by faithful for the holiday for the first time since the pandemic began in early 2020. Applause erupted from many of the 50,000 people in the square and on a nearby avenue when he mentioned Ukraine.
“Please, please, let us not get used to war,’’ Francis pleaded, after denouncing “the flexing of muscles while people are suffering.” Yet again, the pontiff decried the war in Ukraine without citing Russian President Vladimir Putin for the decision to launch the invasion and attack against Ukraine on Feb. 24.
“Let us all commit ourselves to imploring peace, from our balconies and in our streets,’’ Francis said. “May the leaders of nations hear people’s plea for peace.”
In a clear reference to the threat of nuclear warfare, Francis quoted from a declaration by scientists in 1955: “‘Shall we put an end to the human race, or shall mankind renounce war?’”
Francis also drew attention to other wars in the speech known by its Latin name “Urbi et Orbi” — to the city and to the world.
“May the conflict in Europe also make us more concerned about other situations of conflict, suffering and sorrow, situations that affect all too many areas of our world, situations that we cannot overlook and do not want to forget,’’ Francis said.
Among the conflicts cited by the pope were those in the Middle East. He exhorted peace and reconciliation for the peoples of Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.
He also cited Libya as well as Yemen, “which suffers from a conflict forgotten by all.”
Earlier, the pontiff, who has a knee ligament problem, limped badly as he made his way to an altar set up in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. The altar was shaded by a canopy against brilliant sunshine.
Right after the end of Mass, Francis shook hands with prelates, then got aboard the white popemobile for a whirl through the square to greet cheering well-wishers among the rank-and-file faithful. He waved and patted the head of a baby who was handed to him. His smiles while greeting the crowd were a rare departure of late for the pope, who has used many of his appearances in recent weeks to issue somber denunciations of the war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, in London, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby called for Russia to declare a cease-fire and withdraw from Ukraine. The leader of the Anglican church said Easter is a time for peace and not “blood and iron.”
Noting that in the Eastern Orthodox church followed by many in Russia and Ukraine Sunday marks the start of Holy Week — with Easter coming on April 24 — Welby exhorted Russia to withdraw from Ukraine and commit to talks.
In an unusually blunt political remark, Welby also condemned the British government’s recent plan to send some asylum-seekers to Rwanda as going against God.
Warm weather and the easing of many pandemic restrictions — including what had been for most of the pandemic in Italy a mandatory outdoor mask requirement — have seen tourism boom in Rome, with many visitors flooding the city for Holy Week ceremonies that culminated on Easter.
In Spain, believers and secular enthusiasts flocked back in large numbers to Holy Week processions this week for the first time since the start of the pandemic after most health restrictions were lifted.
