White House distances itself from Graham’s Putin comments
The White House on Friday distanced itself from Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) call for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“That is not the position of the United States government and certainly not a statement you’d hear come from the mouth of anybody in this administration,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a press briefing.
Psaki added that the administration believes there is still a diplomatic path forward should Putin choose to pursue it, despite the escalation in Russian tactics in recent days.
“But no, we are not advocating for killing the leader of a foreign country or regime change. That is not the policy of the United States,” Psaki said.
Graham on Thursday night suggested the only way the Russian invasion of Ukraine would end “is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.”
“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham posted on Twitter, referring to the assassin of Julius Caesar and the attempted assassin of Adolf Hitler, respectively.
The commentary drew backlash from some Republicans, who called it a bad idea and unhelpful amid heightened tensions globally.
“This is an exceptionally bad idea. Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted. “But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state.”
Global leaders have grown increasingly concerned about Putin’s mindset and conduct as the attacks on Ukraine escalate. There have been widespread reports of Russian attacks targeting civilian areas indiscriminately, and fighting broke out late Thursday at a nuclear plant.

Patrick Demarchelier, Once Princess Diana's Personal Photographer, Dead at 78
Patrick Demarchelier, the famed fashion portrait photographer who once worked as Princess Diana's personal shutterbug, died on Thursday at the age of 78.
Representatives for the French-born artist announced his death on Instagram with "great sadness."
"He is survived by his wife Mia, his three sons Gustaf, Arthur, Victor and three grandchildren," they wrote.
Demarchelier's cause of death has not been revealed though multiple outlets, including WWD, report he was in St. Barths at the time of his passing.
His career first began in Paris, where he moved from Le Havre at the age of 20.
He was self-taught. "I didn't think about a career. I didn't plan it. It came to me," he told Vogue in a 2015 interview, explaining that he received his first camera as a teenager from his step-father, and started by shooting weddings and passport photos.
After working as an assistant photographer under prized lensmen like Vogue contributor Hans Feurer and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Demarchelier honed his skills as a fashion photographer before moving to the United States in 1975 and opening his first U.S. studio.
It didn't take long for him to find fame, his work appearing in major fashion magazines worldwide. Among his employers through the years were Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Teen Vogue, Vanity Fair and Allure. He also shot campaigns for brands like Chanel, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Target, Dior, Revlon, Lancôme, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Gap, Carolina Herrera, Donna Karan, Yves Saint Laurent and more.
Celebrity subjects ran the gamut across the entertainment industry: Madonna, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tyra Banks, Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, Kaley Cuoco, Oprah, Beyoncé, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert DeNiro, Emma Stone, Michelle Williams, Paul Newman, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Anthony Hopkins, Annette Bening, Nicki Minaj, Amber Heard, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence, Sally Field, Susan Sarandon, Iman, Dove Cameron, Charlize Theron, Gena Rowlands, and RuPaul — to name a few!
"I am grateful to have been lucky enough to be in front of your lens," remembered Bella Hadid on Thursday, in a touching Instagram post. "Most gentle, most legendary, soft but full of life. You will be missed Patrick. Rest In Peace."
One of his most recognizable photographs? Janet Jackson's infamous topless 1993 Rolling Stone cover.
Years earlier, in 1989, Demarchelier's work cause the eye of Princess Diana, who hired him as her personal photographer. He made history as the first non-British photographer ever to be hired by the royal family. His portraits of her are considered iconic among royal enthusiasts.
"I like the beauty of life, the beauty of people, animals, everything," he told WWD in 2007, describing himself as an "instinctual photographer" and explaining that "a good picture is a moment, you catch the moment."
Demarchelier's success drove him from behind the camera into the spotlight from time to time. He was featured on the 2003 season of America's Next Top Model, appeared in the 2009 Vogue documentary The September Issue, and even photographed Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw in the 2008 Sex and the City film.
He was famously name-checked by Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly, in the 2006 beloved comedy The Devil Wears Prada.
Numerous fashion honors followed Demarchelier throughout his career, including the CFDA Founder's Award in Honor of Eleanor Lambert and the French Ministry of Culture's prestigious officier dans l'ordre des arts et des lettres title (both in 2007). He also published a few books.
But his name was also touched by controversy in 2018, when the Boston Globe's acclaimed Spotlight team surfaced sexual misconduct allegations against 25 industry professionals, Demarchelier listed among them. In response, Condé Nast severed ties with him.
"People lie and they tell stories," he told the Globe at the time, denying the allegations and any wrongdoing. "It's ridiculous."
He never stopped shooting professionally, explaining once, "I will die working," WWD reported. | https://people.com/style/patrick-demarchelier-dead-at-78/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:15Z |

The United States Department of Agriculture released an update to its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and found that nearly everything one might ingest – whether it comes from the grocery store or restaurant – is going up in price.
And yes, that's on top of the price increases consumers have already been forced to endure in the last year.
"All food prices are now predicted to increase between 4.5 and 5.5%," the USDA's Economic Research Service explained in the March report.
While the overall increase is alarming, a closer look at various food categories show just how expensive shoppers can expect items to get, according to the USDA:
As for take-out or dine-in menus, the USDA said those prices are predicted to go up between 5.5 and 6.5% for the remainder of this year.
Additionally, food prices climbed 7.9% for the year ending in February 2022.
This was "the largest 12-month advance since July 1981," according to the department.
The report also noted current global events that will only add to the uncertainty of food affordability, saying, "The impacts of the conflict in Ukraine and the recent increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve are expected to put upward and downward pressures on food prices, respectively. The situations will be closely monitored to assess the net impacts of these concurrent events on food prices as they unfold."

The Yukon Party is wondering why the territorial government rejected the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board’s advice when making changes to moose hunting.
In a Feb. 10 news release, the Yukon government announced moose hunting will be changing in three moose management units. That means permit hunt authorizations (PHA) will be required for the Sifton-Miners Range and South Canol moose management units, with 12 permits available for Sifton-Miners Range and 10 for the South Canol, as of April 1. The Mayo threshold hunt will be limited to 11 moose.
On March 15, Wade Istchenko, the Yukon Party MLA for Kluane, told the legislature the idea was pushed by the government in the 2019 wildlife regulation proposal process. In response to the notion of a PHA for South Canol, Istchenko said the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board had recommended setting it aside to allow for more survey work and public consultation.
In a June 2020 letter, the board advised deferring it to the next regulation cycle.
Istchenko asked why the minister of Environment did not accept the recommendation from the board.
The board is the primary instrument of fish and wildlife management in the Yukon. Its mandate is set out in Chapter 16 of the Umbrella Final Agreement and its 12 members are appointed by the Environment minister, with half of its nominations coming from the Council of Yukon First Nations and half from the Yukon government.
Minister of Environment Nils Clarke prefaced his response by noting moose is the most harvested species by Yukon hunters and is a culturally important species.
“In some areas, the combined licensed and subsistence harvesting of moose is at or above sustainable levels, particularly in areas that are easy to access,” Clarke said.
“Limiting harvest in those moose management units is essential to ensure that moose populations stay healthy and that licensed harvest opportunities remain available over the long term.”
Clarke said the government has combined information gathered from harvesters, First Nations, and community partners with results from targeted scientific surveys so that decisions are informed with the “best and most currently available data.”
The PHA statistics for moose, which was last updated online July 30, 2021, shows there were 807 applicants and 44 permits awarded across the territory.
The areas vulnerable to over-hunting listed in the Yukon hunting regulations summary include the Kluane River and Duke River, Tatchun, Sifton-Miners Range and South Canol areas.
“The question I asked was why the minister didn’t follow the recommendation of the Fish and Wildlife Management Board, set aside the proposal, and allow for the survey work and further public consultation to work with those affected,” Istchenko reiterated.
In its letter to the minister about this proposal, Istchenko said, the board “made it clear that there was strong opposition to this measure from the public” and noted that imposing a PHA in the area would “create issues in other parts of the Yukon.”
Istchenko quoted from the letter, saying that “many First Nations and renewable resources councils have expressed serious concerns over the continued ‘whack-a-mole’ approach and urge the government to look at moose management from a broader perspective,” before re-asking the question.
Clarke cited two groups asking for restrictions.
Clarke said Ross River Dena Council has asked for licensed harvest restrictions specifically in the South Canol area and the government received a letter from the Teslin Tlingit Council chief indicating that establishing permit areas for licensed hunters would help address their concerns in the area.
“We, of course, acknowledge that this was not the recommendation of the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board,” Clarke said.
“The decision to vary the board’s recommendation and go forward with a regulation change was approved, as our evidence shows that immediate regulation of harvest is necessary to ensure sustainable moose populations in this area.”
Clarke referred to a 2013 survey that he said indicated a sustainable harvest would mean 15 bulls harvested in total for both licensed and First Nation hunters in any season in the South Canol, and from 2017 to 2021 the licensed harvests alone accounted for an average of 15 bulls.
“So, while licensed harvest has been relatively consistent for many years, the estimated total harvest numbers indicate that it is at a level that is far above what is sustainable for this moose population, and licensed hunters are taking a disproportionate amount of the sustainable harvest,” Clarke said.
“To put it another way, we need to see the moose population — my scientists say — roughly double in size from the 2013 survey for the current harvest numbers to be considered sustainable.”
In the government release, there is a population of roughly 70,000 moose in the Yukon.
Istchenko said his party is concerned the government is not fully considering the broader impacts of their decisions on wildlife management.
“Limiting access in one area creates pressure in another,” he said.
“In their letter to the minister about the particular proposal, the [Yukon] Fish and Wildlife Management Board said the lack of timely and concrete data in the proposal has eroded public confidence in the merit of the proposal and the need for a regulatory change. So, if the board thought that pushing through this proposal in 2020 was eroding public confidence, what impact does the minister expect that pushing through this proposal two-and-a-half years after the public consultation will have?”
Clarke said last year’s budget set aside $700,000 to $750,000 for aerial moose surveys.
“I am also advised by my department that funds have been set aside to do an aerial survey of the South Canol in the upcoming season. We will be guided by that information as well,” Clarke said.
“I will be guided by science on this, and I said that we are committed to doing the surveys, which are expensive, but they will provide the data to all stakeholders, as it becomes available.”

Ready to get in the driver’s seat for your next mission?
In this project-focused activity, you’ll be using everything you’ve learned so far from our introductory Lift-off series, Parts I to III!
Before going any further, make sure you know:
- how to build queries using arguments and variables
- how to use the
useQuery
hook from Apollo Client
You’ll also need to use these technologies:
- NodeJS
- React
- Reach Router (the routing concepts)
If you’re comfortable with those, great! You’ll be able to continue working on our learning platform for cat space explorers.
You’ll be diving into the server-side to update the schema, write data source methods to connect to a REST API and implement resolvers. You’ll also be working client-side to display the returned data by sending a query to the server.
This project picks up where Lift-off III finishes, but you can certainly jump right into it if you’re up for it!
The app so far...
The Catstronauts app currently shows a list of learning tracks. Clicking on a track shows more details about the track, including its list of modules.
Your mission will be to add a new page to the app showing the contents of that module and a way to navigate between all the modules of a learning track, so that aspiring catstronauts can finally read, watch and learn what they need to!
Project Setup
If you've completed the Lift-off III course, you can use your code as a starting point! This project picks up where Part III ended.
If you haven’t completed the course, clone the project starter repo below:
git clone https://github.com/apollographql/odyssey-lift-off-lab

Now, open the repository in your favorite IDE.
Note: The examples in this course use npm, but you're welcome to use yarn if you prefer.
Let's start with the server app.
In a terminal window, navigate to the repo's server
directory and run the following to install dependencies and run the app:
npm install && npm start
If all goes well, you'll see the installation complete and a message in the console indicating that the server is running.

Let’s set up Explorer with our development graph.
To test queries on our GraphQL server, let’s connect this development graph to Apollo Studio Explorer.
The Explorer is free to use, and it provides awesome development features like interactive query building, query history, and response hints. This will make building our queries fast and fun.
Already set up with Explorer? Check off the task below! If not, click the "Set-up Explorer" below and follow the steps.
Task!
Let’s try out a query to get a list of track titles. Copy the query below, paste it into the Explorer's Operations Panel, then run it. You should get a list of track titles in the response on the right-hand side.
query getTrackTitles { tracksForHome { title }}
You can also try building the query yourself by typing it out manually, or using the + buttons on the left sidebar to add each field.
Task!
Next, the client app.
In a new terminal window, navigate to the repo's client
directory and run the following to install dependencies and start the app:
npm install && npm start
The console should show a bunch of output and a link to the running app at localhost:3000. You can navigate to localhost:3000 in the browser and see our homepage, which shows a homepage filled with tracks.
Task!
If you click on a card, you’ll see the track page, with more information about the track. Try clicking on the Start Track button. What happens? It leads you to a completely blank page!
Your mission is to transform this blank page into a fully-functioning Modules page. Good luck! | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-lab/project-setup | 2022-04-01T00:54:20Z |

Dr Karl Kruszelnicki has revealed the shocking reason you should always flush the toilet with the lid down.
The Australian scientist who has degrees in medicine and biomedical engineering has become a worldwide celebrity following his educational videos on the social media platform, TikTok with 467,000 thousand followers. And now the doctor's latest video is shocking followers.
Kruszelnicki took to the social media platform to share the alarming reason why you should only ever flush the toilet with the lid down, stating flushing with the lid up releases a "polluted plume of bacteria and water vapour just erupts out of the toilet bowl".
The scientist went on to say, "the polluted water particles float around for a few hours around your bathroom before they all eventually land".

Advertise with NZME."Some of them could even land on your toothbrush.
"So if you flush with the toilet lid up you could be brushing your teeth with toilet water."
Kruszelnicki finished the video with a joke saying "I guess that's one way to get the males in your household to put the lid down."
The video was posted earlier this week and has had over 332,000 thousand views with over 700 people taking to the comment section to share their reactions.
One TikTok user said, "Lid down and toothbrushes in the draw ALWAYS." While another user commented, "Not all the people in the comments saying it helps their immunity. I just don't want anything from inside the toilet on my toothbrush!!" to which the doctor replied "My thoughts exactly!"
A third person asked Kruszelnicki, "does this help our immune system Dr Karl?", he quickly replied with "In general, it's better to keep faeces away from food".
Many people also pointed out their toilet was separate from their bathroom, one user comments, "Says something about old bathrooms, so maybe they knew something making toilets separate from bathroom. I love having separate toilet from bathroom." | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/tiktok-scientist-reveals-alarming-reason-to-flush-with-toilet-seat-down/X4OVNXVKT6S3E6UZ6D2JIGMH3Y/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:20Z |

Which 144Hz monitors are best?
Computer technology has grown in leaps and bounds since the 1980s. A large part of this growth is due to the video games industry, which pushes for better graphics, faster machines and bigger monitors.
When it comes to monitors, the standard 60-hertz monitor has been a staple for many gamers. However, now it’s commonplace to see 75Hz or 120Hz dedicated gaming monitors. For the ultimate gaming experience, only the best Samsung 49-Inch CHG90 144Hz Curved Gaming Monitor will do. It provides an extra-crisp picture and comes with a swivel stand to allow for easy adjustment.
What to know before you buy a 144Hz monitor
Make sure your computer is compatible
Having a computer monitor that can handle 144Hz is one thing, but making sure you have a computer that can manage the output is another aspect altogether. The 144Hz refers to how many frames your computer can display per second. While the monitor can certainly handle this speed, not all graphics cards can keep up. You might be disappointed if your new 144Hz monitor can’t produce the frames per second you want, thanks to a subpar graphics card. Make sure your computer is compatible before making a purchase.
Resolution importance
The monitor’s maximum resolution will also play a role in the graphical quality. The standard for all games released today is 1080p, but there are plenty of titles you can play at Ultra HD or even 4K. To get the best out of the monitor, consider the resolution and whether you have content to support it.
Reduced screen tearing
The dreaded screen tearing is something that most gamers have dealt with at some point in their lives. Screen tearing is when your monitor’s refresh rate can’t keep up with the game’s frame rate. This creates a distorted picture or continually distorted images. By having a 144Hz monitor, the higher refresh rate will dramatically reduce the chances of screen tearing.
What to look for in a quality 144Hz monitor
Connection ports
The monitor connects to your computer or laptop through a connection port. The most common port is an HDMI connection, but this has a limited refresh rate and resolution. A good-quality monitor will also have a DisplayPort connection, which can output 8K content at 120Hz or 4K content at 240Hz. HDMI has a maximum output of 8K content at 30Hz.
High Dynamic Range for better quality
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a relatively new technology in video games and influences the color range of games. Conventional monitors struggle to show dark and bright areas simultaneously, but HDR renders the image with the correct shading throughout. Not only does it improve the visual quality, but it can also feel more immersive.
Built-in synching to reduce screen tearing
While the 144Hz monitor technology already goes a long way to reduce screen tearing, some manufacturers incorporate Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s FreeSync into a monitor’s hardware. This added bit of technology helps to massively reduce instances of graphical artifacts and screen tearing. Keep in mind you need to have a graphics card that supports either system to take advantage of this.
How much you can expect to spend on a 144Hz monitor
The average price of a 144Hz monitor depends on the monitor’s brand, capabilities and size. An affordable 144Hz monitor costs around $200-$300, but larger displays with curved screens will be closer to $800-$1,000.
144Hz monitor FAQ
Can you mount or raise 144Hz monitors?
A. Yes, you can, as long as the base is large enough. Most monitors are also compatible with VESA mounts, so you can attach them to walls or a monitor arm.
Can you use a 144Hz monitor on an Xbox One?
A. Yes, as long as you connect the correct display cables. There are only a few titles that support 120Hz, and there are even fewer that support 144Hz. Most developers choose not to support 144Hz and opt for higher graphical quality at 60Hz.

Senate conservatives threaten to hold up government funding over vaccine mandate
A group of 10 Senate conservatives led by Republican Steering Committee Chairman Mike Lee (R-Utah) are threatening to hold up a government-funding measure and possibly trigger a federal shutdown unless they can vote on an amendment to defund President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Lee and nine other Senate Republicans circulated a “Dear Colleague” letter Friday afternoon threatening to object to procedural requests to speed up passage of a funding bill before the March 11 deadline unless leaders allow them to vote on an amendment to defund the Biden administration’s vaccine mandates for medical workers, military personnel, federal employees and federal contractors.
“We are writing to let you know that we will once again not consent to a time agreement that eases passage of a CR or Omnibus that funds these mandates,” they wrote. “At the very least, we will require a roll call vote on an amendment that defunds the enforcement of these vaccine mandates for the spending period covered by the government funding measure.”
The letter was signed by Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Steve Daines (Mont.), Rick Scott (Fla.), James Lankford (Okla.), Roger Marshall (Kan.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mike Braun (Ind.), Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.) and Rand Paul (Ky.).
The senators noted that while the Biden administration recently rescinded an Occupational Safety and Health Administration COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large employers following an adverse decision by the Supreme Court, the mandates for medical workers, military personnel and federal employees and contractors remain in place.
“These COVID-19 vaccine mandates amount to a serious abuse of both federal power and executive authority. They also further strain the economic and social pressures our society currently faces, while completely ignoring existing evidence-based data on natural immunity from previous COVID19 infection,” the senators wrote.
Also on Friday afternoon, a group of nearly 40 House Republicans sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announcing they will oppose “any federal government funding measure that funds the enforcement of COVID-19 vaccine mandates.”
“So far, Congress has not leveraged the full “power of the purse” to end the COVID-19 vaccine mandates that continue to harm tens of thousands of Americans – most notably our medical workers, military personnel, and federal workers such as Border Patrol,” they wrote.
They wrote that it is troubling to force troops to get COVID-19 vaccination shots at a time of potential military conflict in Eastern Europe.
“It is particularly troubling for the President to ask thousands of those troops to amass in Eastern Europe while simultaneously finger-wagging at them to get a politicized vaccine or be fired,” they wrote.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KELO) — Four people have been sentenced in connection with a large-scale meth trafficking network called “Operation Say Uncle.” Meth has been a growing problem in Pennington County for years.
While there have already been quite a few arrests in “Operation Say Uncle,” investigators say there is more work to be done to deal with meth.
“This case was unique due to the sheer number of indictments. It was a huge case. I think there were 30 indictments in federal court and numerous more in state court but this is just one of many that members of UNET investigate on a daily basis,” Sgt. Casey Kenrick, Supervisor of UNET, said.
Unified Narcotics Enforcement Team or UNET includes the Sheriff’s Office, Police Department, DCI, and Highway Patrol.
“So investigators, detectives, and special agents from the task force can follow up and hopefully hold the people that are distributing these drugs that are resulting in overdoses in our community members who are being hurt, sick, or dying from these drugs,” Kenrick said.
In 2012, about half of the drug possession arrests were methamphetamine. In 2021, those arrests are up to 81 percent.
Chief Deputy Brian Mueller says often times violence is related to drug use.
“A lot of our crimes, specifically our violent crime here in Pennington County is directly related to methamphetamine. That is something that has also been on the rise,” Mueller said.
UNET’s goal is to reduce violence associated with the drug trade, making communities, like ours, a safer place to live.
All of the 37 people who were charged in “Operation Say Uncle” are pending trial. | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/meth-arrests-are-on-the-rise-in-pennington-county/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:24Z |
The House of Representatives voted Thursday to approve legislation that would limit cost-sharing for insulin under private health insurance and Medicare. The vote was 232-193, with 12 Republican members joining their Democratic colleagues to pass the measure.
The Affordable Insulin Now Act would cap insulin prices at either $35 a month or 25% of an insurance plan's negotiated price — whichever is lower. The legislation aims to take effect in 2023 but its fate in the Senate remains unclear.
"This is a kitchen table issue, "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said to reporters ahead of the bill's passage on Thursday.
"One in four Americans is forced to skip or ration doses of insulin and that's life-threatening," she said, noting the legislation "paves the way" for further action on negotiating lower drug prices beyond insulin.
Advocates of the legislation point to data from the Health Care Cost Institute, an independent nonprofit that studies health care prices, which shows prices for insulin doubled between 2012 and 2016.
"No one should have to choose between taking their medication as prescribed and putting food on the table or a roof over their head," said Rep. Dan Kildee, one of three Democratic lawmakers who sponsored the legislation.
"As a father of a type 1 diabetic, I have seen firsthand how the high price of prescription drugs like insulin can harm patients and harm families," the Michigan Democrat said during debate on the House floor. "When my daughter turned 26 and got her own health insurance, there were months where she spent a third of her take home pay because she's diabetic on staying alive."
Critics of the bill argue the cap alone doesn't do enough to solve the underlying problem of rising prescription drug prices.
"We want lower prices for drugs, particularly for insulin," said Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga, during debate. "But instead of fixing a broken system, this bill aims to control it," he adding, calling the bill a "socialist plan."
House Democrats passed legislation in November as part of a broader spending package that would have enabled Medicare to negotiate lower prices for various prescription drugs.
Because that package remains stalled in the Senate, Democrats are working to more narrowly tackle making common drugs like insulin more affordable.
There is a similar bipartisan effort under way in the Senate but its path is unclear as Republicans have traditionally been opposed to price caps.

Five athletes from the Yukon Freestyle’s development team went to the freestyle ski nationals held in Calgary from March 24 to 27.
Skiers at the national event competed in halfpipe, slopestyle and big air. Although the freestyle development team only trains in two of those disciplines locally at Mount Sima, the skiers felt up to the challenge and competed in all three in Calgary.
On the halfpipe, Yukoner Jason McKay placed eighth in U18 competition. Among the U16s Jacob Robertson placed 23rd followed by Isaac Maddocks in 24th, Charlie Fidler in 27th and Alex Wilson was 29th.
In the U18 slopestyle competition McKay placed second. On the U16 slopestyle course Wilson placed 20th, followed by Maddocks in 22nd, Robertson in 23rd and Fidler in 27th.
“That was amazing and unexpected. I tried my hardest and believed in myself. I don’t think I could have come this far without the support of my teammates and my coaches,” McKay said after making the podium.
McKay would go on to place 12th in U18 big air. Wilson placed 19th in U16 big air followed by Maddocks in 23rd and Fidler in 29th.
Freestyle team coaches Lyndsey Boorse and Chris Arsenault accompanied the team to Jr. Nationals.
“This was an excellent experience for the team to be able to travel and compete against athletes from other provinces. They all showed what they can do, especially to themselves,” Boorse said.
The ski season is not over as the athletes returned from Calgary look forward to competing on their home hill in this weekend’s Yukon Champs, on April 2 and 3 at Mount Sima.

A well-known entertainer swept up in the so-called "sting of the century" - accused of laundering hundreds of thousands of dollars for a drug importation operation - has been dealt a legal blow after a judge at the High Court at Auckland declined his bid for continued name suppression.
However, the person's name can't yet be revealed because he and three co-defendants intend to appeal the judgment.
The four defendants are among the roughly 40 people charged in New Zealand in June as part of Operation Trojan Shield, a global sting targeting alleged criminals using what they thought was an encrypted messaging app.
In reality, the app was created by the FBI and the Australian Federal Police - an attempt to get intel on criminal groups. Worldwide, more than 800 people were swept up in the sting.

Advertise with NZME.The entertainer faces charges of participating in an organised criminal group and conspiracy to launder $420,000. He's set to go to trial with nine others in May 2023.
After he was granted interim name suppression at Rotorua District Court last year, the Herald was allowed to identify him only as a well-known entertainer. Details of his career cannot be reported without identifying him.
The hearing to determine if his name suppression should continue had been postponed multiple times since August due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions on the judicial system. But a hearing did take place last month, and Justice Woolford's judgment was released to the media today.
Revealing the defendant's name prior to trial would damage his ability to make a living as an entertainer, defence counsel Ron Mansfield QC said last month.
"He would be reliant on a benefit if he was not able to do any work," Mansfield argued. "That damage to his reputation would be permanent even if he was found to be not guilty of these allegations." | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/crime/entertainer-loses-name-suppression-bid-but-cannot-yet-be-revealed/HBDCKWBZXWJOM2Y3Q7T6OPEUD4/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:27Z |

Which iPad case is best?
When you purchase something with a high price tag like a tablet, you want to be sure it’s protected from falls, spills and other mishaps. Beyond protection, many users also purchase iPad cases that offer additional benefits like stands, keyboards, trackpads and storage solutions. Depending on your priorities, you may prefer one type of case to the next, though most buyers can find one to accommodate their needs, preferences and budgets.
The Logitech Combo Touch for iPad offers a keyboard and adjustable stand, making it a great pick for most buyers.
What to know before you buy an iPad case
Your iPad
Determining what iPad cases work for you depends mostly on the type of iPad you have, as well as how you usually use it. You can find iPad cases for all of Apple’s iPad models, though they range in size depending on which iPad version you have. Cases also vary in the features and styles they offer, so you’ll want to choose one based on how you use your iPad.
Types of iPad cases
There are different types of iPad cases that offer varying benefits.
- Protective shell: For the utmost protection, protective shells wrap around the sides and back of an iPad to protect the screen from drops and falls. Shell cases come in a range of materials, though they don’t typically cover the screen.
- Sleeve: Sleeves for iPads are great for backpack and bag transportation, preventing scratches and boasting a lightweight design. A sleeve is less protective than a shell case from drop and fall damage.
- Folio: Folio cases fold over an iPad’s screen, not unlike a book cover. These offer a balance of protection from falls and from scratches. High-end folio cases may also include extra features such as keyboards and trackpads.
Material
You can find iPad cases in a wide range of materials that vary in protectiveness, weight and style. The most common materials for cases include hard plastic and polyurethane, though you can find several others. Plastic and polyurethane cases are known for their durability and protective qualities, while other materials may offer more stylish looks.
What to look for in a quality iPad case
Compatibility
Apple’s iPads are made in different sizes, so it’s important to choose a case compatible with your generation. The standard iPad has remained the same size since the iPad 2, so as long as you have a newer generation than that, it will fit with a range of cases. Apple’s iPad Pro, Air and Mini models differ in size from each other and older generations, so it’s important to check what version and generation your case is designed for.
Adjustable stand
Most iPad cases include a stand, while premium cases include multiple positions to adjust the stand to. Most buyers prefer a case with an adjustable stand because they let users customize the tablet’s angle to work best, no matter where they are.
Features
Other features to look out for include tools such as keyboards and trackpads. These are great tools for professionals on the go, or others who often use a keyboard and trackpad. Another common feature found on iPad cases is storage for the Apple Pencil, which can be useful if you have the tool.
How much you can expect to spend on an iPad case
For most iPad cases, you can expect to spend around $20. You can buy cheap iPad cases for as low as $12, while high-end cases can cost over $150.
iPad case FAQ
Can iPad cases fit all iPads?
A. Cases for iPads aren’t universal. To choose the right case, you’ll need to measure your iPad, or base your purchase on the model of iPad you have — whether it’s the standard iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad Mini. Standard iPads are the same size for generations 2, 3 and 4, while the newest generations of the iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad Mini are all sized differently than their predecessors.
Are iPad cases compatible with the Magic Keyboard?
A. Most iPad cases are not compatible with the Magic Keyboard. Magic Keyboards act as cases themselves, though some buyers want something more protective to go along with the combination case. You can find a few products claiming to work with Apple’s Magic Keyboard, though the reviews reveal issues that you may or may not be able to put up with.
What’s the best iPad case to buy?
Top iPad case
What you need to know: This premium case includes a backlit keyboard and a trackpad, as well as four use modes using the adjustable kickstand.
What you’ll love: This ergonomic case is protective and the keyboard and trackpad are more responsive than others. In addition to its many standing positions, this iPad case includes an Apple Pencil storage slot.
What you should consider: Some found that the keyboard comes off a bit too easily.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top iPad case for the money
Fintie Faux Leather Rotating Case and Stand For iPad
What you need to know: This simple rotating case features an elegant faux leather material and lets users stand the iPad either vertically or horizontally.
What you’ll love: This case includes two landscape viewing angles and one portrait angle, as well as an Apple Pencil holder. It also includes an easy rotation mechanism for switching between orientations. This iPad case is available in 33 colors and designs.
What you should consider: This case is heavier than most others, and it doesn’t include a keyboard.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear Shell Case for iPad
What you need to know: This offers one of the more protective case designs, and its transparency makes it perfect for those wanting to see the iPad’s natural beauty.
What you’ll love: This case is about as protective as they come, and it includes a useful loop for storing the Apple Pencil. This works great with magnetic covers like the Smart Folio because of its removable spine and lack of screen coverage.
What you should consider: This case doesn’t cover the tablet’s screen, and it’s a lot thicker than other cases.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon

Senate invited to speak with Zelensky Saturday
Senators have been invited to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky via Zoom on Saturday, a Senate aide confirmed to The Hill.
The meeting, which would take place on Saturday morning, would be the first time the full Senate has been able to speak with Zelensky since Russian President Vladimir Putin began his invasion of Ukraine late last month.
The meeting comes as lawmakers are working to pass billions in new aid for Ukraine and gives Zelensky the chance to pitch members of Congress directly on what his country needs as it fights back against the Russian invasion. Though Putin has faced setbacks, Russia still has a military advantage over Ukraine and has been attacking multiple key cities.
Zelensky’s talk with lawmakers comes after other Ukrainian officials met with members of Congress earlier this week. Ukrainian ambassador Oksana Markarova met with members of Senate and warned them Ukraine needs more supplies to help fight the Russian military.
Meanwhile, Oleksandra Ustinova, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, told members of the House that causalities in Ukraine would climb without a “no-fly zone” to prevent Moscow from entering Ukraine’s air space. That idea has garnered bipartisan pushback in Washington because it would include U.S. forces potentially having to shoot down Russian planes, putting the two countries in direct conflict.
Zelensky has also been in touch with world leaders, including President Biden, as he urges support for his country, frequently providing updates via social media. The Senate’s Zoom call was first reported by NBC News.
Zelensky’s response to Russia’s invasion has earned him bipartisan praise in Washington both for his refusal to leave Ukraine and resolve to fight the Russian military.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, compared him to the late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
“One of the questions the other day in the Intelligence Committee [was] was Zelensky going to be Ghani, the Afghan leader who cut and run once the Taliban started to move forward, or was he going to be Churchill? And so far, he has been Churchillian in his response,” Warner said in a Washington Post Live interview.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter. | https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/596963-senate-invited-to-speak-with-zelensky-saturday/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:27Z |
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — Joe Boever’s family says the newly-released documents of the deadly crash involving South Dakota’s Attorney General only re-affirms their belief that Jason Ravnsborg is unfit for office.
On Wednesday, the House Select Committee on Investigation posted hundreds of documents and files on Ravnsborg’s role in the crash.
Nick Nemec says he’s only had time, so far, to read a fraction of the documents released about the crash that killed his cousin, Joe Boever.
“I hope to get through them all, I don’t know if I’ll be able to,” Nemec said.
Nemec doesn’t expect to learn much new information from the documents because he’s been following the investigation since the beginning. But he says it was a revelation to find out how far from the road Boever was walking at the time of the crash.
“It wasn’t like he was walking in the middle of the shoulder, it was like he was practically in the ditch and the attorney was that far off the road when he hit him,” Nemec said.
Nemec isn’t sure if the documents will sway South Dakota lawmakers into voting to impeach Ravnsborg, but he hopes the files will influence public opinion.
“I think these documents if the public takes the time to look at them, they will become more convinced that the attorney general deserves to be impeached,” Nemec said.
DISPATCHER: “The driver’s saying he’s not sure what he hit, but it smashed his windshield and it did some pretty good damage to his vehicle.”
Nemec says the investigation into Ravnsborg’s involvement in the crash has been thorough. And he says reading about the factors surrounding his cousin’s death won’t churn up unpleasant emotions and memories of that tragic night.
“I saw Joe Boever’s smashed skull. Reading about it, I don’t think is going to cause any more distress than I’ve already suffered,” Nemec said.
Nemec thinks the documents should have been posted much earlier in the process in order to give state lawmakers easier access to the reports. | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/nemec-documents-underscore-a-g-unfit-for-office/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:31Z |

The decision to come out of the state of emergency was made by Tairāwhiti Civil Defence group controller David Wilson in consultation with mayor Rehette Stoltz.
"There is still plenty going on across the region, but it is now time to move our focus into the recovery phase," Stoltz said in a media release.
The weather event led to the declaration of a state of emergency in the early hours of 23 March and then extended on Tuesday this week.
Stoltz said it had been a tough time for many across Tairāwhiti with record rainfall, rivers reaching levels that have meant evacuation and a huge amount of damage on the roads and to properties.
"I ask that people be patient while our contractors continue their work to reconnect our region."
Council chief executive Nedine Thatcher Swann said although the state of emergency had been lifted, there was still support for communities across Tairāwhiti, should they need it.
"We have a lot of work ahead of us yet. There is a huge amount of clean-up to be done which will require people power and machinery - some of which may need to come from outside of the district."

Advertise with NZME.She estimated the full recovery could take up to 24 months to fix properly.
"The wide-ranging extent of the damage to the region and the effect this event has had on critical infrastructure, bridges, roads and properties makes it very challenging."
Thatcher Swann was hopeful the region would receive government funding to help with the rebuild.
Nearly 50 local roads across the region remain shut.
The council said it was hoping to have roads reopened to the forestry and agricultural industry on Monday.
Tairāwhiti Civil Defence group controller David Wilson said it was "disappointing" to hear that some trucks were using the roads, despite being asked not to.

Advertise with NZME."We have been in touch with police who have contacted those concerned, and they will be taking it from here," he said.
"We are working to open a number of roads on Monday so the forestry and agricultural industry can start moving again.
"We are asking for caution and patience on the roads as we open them. Many are still extremely vulnerable and we are working to improve them over the coming days to make sure they hold up as people begin to move on them again.
"Please be mindful though - there is a huge amount of damage across a very sodden and saturated region."
Farmers were being asked to liaise with the council around their movements at least a day before they needed access for stock or supplies.
"We are prioritising routes so trucks can get back out there, but it takes time and patience," Wilson said.

Advertise with NZME.He acknowledged it had been a tough time for farmers who are keen to move stock, have had sale days cancelled due to Covid-19, and now faced impassable roads across the district.
He said there was a push to have as many roads as possible open for Monday, with the council updating its website with the latest information.
"We update this daily but we need our contractors to be able to do their jobs safely.
"It is also about the safety of motorists too - the ground is saturated and it simply isn't safe for them on some of our roads."

Which Microsoft Surface tablet is best?
Microsoft Surface tablets are often overlooked in favor of other traditional tablets, but they’re perfect for anyone who wants a lightweight device that can function as a laptop.
Microsoft Surface tablets are high-powered and excellent for all kinds of computing tasks. There are several models, but Microsoft Surface Pro 8 is the best of them all, thanks to its dazzling display and ultra-fast processor.
What to know before you buy a Microsoft Surface tablet
Screen size
Although they’re marketed as two-in-one devices, Microsoft Surface tablets primarily function as tablets. They’re designed to be sleek, lightweight and portable, so they don’t have the screen sizes you typically see on laptops.
The average tablet screen size is 9-13 inches, but Surface tablets are only available in 10-inch and 13-inch models. A larger screen is better for working or streaming movies and TV shows, but it’s not as lightweight or thin as a small screen.
Software
Microsoft Surface tablets all come with the Windows 11 operating system preinstalled. It allows them to function similarly to traditional PCs and is usually the preferred software for those who use their device for work or intensive school projects.
If you’re used to using a different operating system, you might find it challenging to transition to Windows 11, as there’s somewhat of a learning curve for anyone unfamiliar with it.
Battery life
Tablets are meant to be used from viable power sources, so they should last a long time in standby mode. It depends on the duration and type of usage, but a quality tablet lasts around 8 hours on a full charge. Applications vary in power consumption, so naturally, programs that require more will drain a tablet’s battery faster.
What to look for in a quality Microsoft Surface tablet
Storage
While many laptops use hard disk drives for storage, all Surface tablets use solid-state drives. Accessing files on an SSD is faster, making them ideal for tablets.
If you plan to use your tablet for simple tasks like browsing or streaming content, you can opt for a tablet with 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage. However, if you want to use your tablet for work or school, the more storage you have to work with, the better, making models with 256GB or higher more suitable.
Once your tablet’s SSD storage capacity is full, you’ll have to delete or move files if you want to store other data.
Processor
A fast central processing unit is crucial for running applications that require lots of power. You don’t need to worry about this if you plan to use your tablet for light tasks, but it’s an important consideration for anybody looking to use their device for running high-powered programs. However, be advised that the more powerful a tablet’s processor, the more expensive it is.
Random access memory
The more random access memory a device has, the more applications you can run simultaneously without noticing a performance decrease. 4GB of RAM is sufficient for simple browsing and running light applications, but high-powered computing tasks require a minimum of 8GB of RAM to run efficiently.
How much you can expect to spend on a Microsoft Surface tablet
Because of the many different specs that can be customized, the price of a Surface tablet can vary greatly. The entry-level model of the Surface Go 3 is the cheapest at $400, while the Surface Pro 8 with the most high-end specs goes for $1,999.
Microsoft Surface tablet FAQ
Can Surface tablets connect to LTE networks?
A. All models can connect to the internet through Wi-Fi, but some also have cellular/LTE network capabilities for using the internet while on the go. However, you’ll have to contact a network carrier and purchase a data plan if you wish to do so.
Is the Surface Pen accessory necessary?
A. It’s not necessary whatsoever, but it makes games and tasks such as note-taking and drawing on your tablet much more accessible.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — If you’d like to see someone lift about 800-pounds, the USA Powerlifting South Dakota State Championships are Saturday in Sioux Falls.
70 athletes, young and old, will be tossing around iron at the South Dakota Powerlifting Championships.
“We’re going to see a 10-year-old probably deadlifting 200 and we’ll also see a 19-year-old squatting over 800, a former world team member Diann Nelson probably benching in the 150 range,” State Meet Director Jona Leo said.
“You don’t see a lot of people my age lifting anymore,” 66-year-old Powerlifter Diann Nelson said.
66-year-old Diann Nelson started lifting 40 years ago and quickly found a liking for the bench press.
“Once you start it you can’t quit. You just want to keep going, you know,” Nelson said.
After dealing with injuries for six years, Nelson returned to competition last year and broke the American record for her age group at 48 kilos.
“It’s a special event to watch it happen because that person is in the record books at that point,” Leo said.
Nelson already owns one American record. She’ll attempt to shatter a second on Saturday in the 52-kilogram weight class.
“Right now the American record is 89-pounds, so I’m going to open up at 137-pounds which would be an American record right there because I’m going to break it by quite a bit and then depending how that lift goes will determine how much I go up for the second and the third lifts,” Nelson said.
A record requires a special setting like a state meet.
“We have to have three national referees in those seats in order for it to be an American record, so it’s more of a stringent judging process,” Leo said.
And Nelson hopes to put on a show for as long as possible.
“People like me, we don’t know how much longer we’re going to be in it, you know. Depends what the body says, when the body says no, you’re done,” Nelson said.
The state championships will feature bench press, squat, and deadlift. Lifting begins at 10:00 a.m. Saturday at the Sioux Falls Arena. | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/records-may-fall-at-state-powerlifting-championships/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:37Z |
Oregon, New Jersey consider the unthinkable: Letting people pump their own gas
Legislators in the only two states that do not allow residents to pump their own gas at service stations are considering revising their decades-old rules in the face of a national labor shortage that has led to long lines at the pump.
New bills that would allow motorists to pump their own fuel have made progress in recent weeks in Oregon and New Jersey after years of inaction in the midst of behind-the-scenes wrangling between high-powered special interest groups.
In both states, the bills would create a hybrid system: Service stations would still be required to offer full-service options, but they would also be allowed to offer self-serve options for drivers who want to pump their own fuel.
The sponsors of both bills say it is high time the two states join the modern era, in which safety advances make it difficult to operate a machine incorrectly.
“It’s about time. It’s only 73 years, let’s get a grip here,” said New Jersey Assemblyman Edward Thomson, the Republican leader and one of the bill’s two prime sponsors, along with Democratic Whip Carol Murphy. “Every other state has it. It’s not a safety issue. The new pumps are as safe as can be.”
The renewed push for self-service comes at a time when labor shortages are affecting much of the economy, and especially low-wage jobs, like the gas station attendants who take payment to fill up a car. In Oregon, where the Bureau of Labor Statistics pegs the unemployment rate at just 4.2 percent, the lack of workers has led to closed pumps and long lines of idling vehicles.
“When we pull into a fueling station right now, half of the pumps are closed down and they have garbage cans or cones in front of them,” said Oregon state Rep. Shelly Boshart Davis (R), who co-sponsored her state’s bill alongside state House Majority Leader Julie Fahey (D). “They don’t have enough attendants to service all of them.”
Supporters say the changes will help gas station owners, who are largely franchisees who make just pennies on each gallon of gas sold. Cutting down on the number of employees they must hire, they say, would preserve their small businesses.
“The current law that does not allow for self-serve is crippling my small business,” Joe Ocello, a gas station owner and president of the New Jersey Gasoline and Convenience Store Automotive Association told legislators in a letter last week. “Increasing prices and labor shortages are making it more and more difficult to run a gas station.”
Ostensibly, the existing full-service rules exist to protect the elderly and the disabled, who either cannot pump their own gas or just do not wish to.
But in practice, the laws are the legacy of make-work programs promoted in the years after World War II, when hundreds of thousands of service members returned stateside competing for jobs in an economy that suddenly included millions more women in the workforce than before the war.
New Jersey implemented its full-service rules in 1949. Oregon followed two years later. In the decades since, generations of high school and college-age kids would work their first jobs pumping gas and taking payment.
Opponents of the change in both Oregon and New Jersey maintain that tinkering with full-service rules will cost jobs and reduce safety.
UFCW Local 555, the largest private sector union in Oregon, said the bill “represents the first cut in a pathway that will lead to the reduction and subsequent disappearance of jobs, and a higher risk of spills and dangerous accidents.”
In one novel argument, the Oregon union also said that both states have lower flu contagion rates than do other states. “As new, more contagious COVID variants appear, Oregon may want to re-think adopting a policy that would lead to many traveling people necessarily grabbing a common pump handle.”
Oregon amended their law in 2015, allowing gas stations in rural areas to offer self-service pumps full time and allowing stations in some coastal counties to offer those pumps after business hours. But opposition to a full repeal remains entrenched in the state conscience.
“There’s a faction of people that just call it the Oregon way. They’re like, ‘That’s what we do in Oregon, we don’t pump our own fuel.’ And then there’s a faction of people who say it’s jobs,” Boshart Davis said.
The two measures face uncertain fates. The Oregon version passed through a state House committee last week, but even advocates admitted they had little hope of final passage before the current legislative session, an abbreviated even-year session, ends.
The New Jersey version was only introduced last week. Even if it passes, it is not clear Gov. Phil Murphy (D) would give his approval.
“I will not commit political suicide this morning,” Murphy said at a news conference in 2019, asked whether he would allow self-service gasoline. “I’m not going near who pumps the gas.”
In interviews, supporters said they hope to bring their measures up again next year, if progress stalls this time around.
“We have good support on both sides. It’s a bipartisan bill,” New Jersey’s Thomson said.
The contentious debate seems bizarrely antiquated to anyone living outside either state, and even to recent transplants. Public comments solicited by the Oregon legislature this year include several incredulous screeds by residents who have moved from other states and cannot fathom the fact that they cannot pump their own gas.
“Coming from another state more than 10 years ago, I was shocked to see long lines of cars running and waiting for attendants to plod around pumping gas,” an Oregon resident named Keith Harber wrote to the legislature. “Please put an end to this stupid charade someone enshrined in this state, and step into a more modern era where consumers are not treated like idiots unable to pump gas.”
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter. | https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/596785-oregon-new-jersey-consider-the-unthinkable-letting-people-pump-their-own/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:36Z |

A high-risk violent offender who has been committing crimes since the age of 14, including manslaughter, is back behind bars with five new convictions.
Harlem Rawiri Turi, 41, of Hastings, is currently in custody awaiting an April 27 sentencing date for demanding people's cars with menaces, breaching an electronically monitored curfew, and breaching an extended supervision order.
The Department of Corrections was so worried about Turi's risk of reoffending when he was released from prison last year that it applied for the extended supervision order (ESO), usually granted to allow probation officers to keep tabs on high-risk sexual or violent offenders.
It was the latest in a series of moves by the department to manage the risk posed by Turi, who at that time had 97 convictions, 27 of them for violent offences, and had been assessed as having an "intense drive, desire or urge" to use violence.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Turi's criminal history was detailed at length when the Department of Corrections applied to the High Court, first for an interim supervision order and then for the three-year ESO, which was granted by Justice David Gendall on December 16, 2021.
Turi began offending with an aggravated robbery in 1994, when he would have been 14. His convictions since then include manslaughter, kidnapping, common assault, robbery with assault, assaulting police, assault with a blunt instrument, injuring with intent and assaulting females.
On September 20, 2012, after drinking alcohol, Turi and co-offender Desmond Leaf, both wearing Mongrel Mob regalia, entered the house of small-time drug dealer Michael Mulholland in Lower Hutt.
Turi, who had just been released from prison, assaulted Mulholland, fracturing his nose and eye socket and causing him to bleed profusely. Mulholland died from a heart attack a short time later.
Turi was convicted of manslaughter at a trial but Leaf was acquitted.
At the time of Mulholland's death, Turi was 31 and had already served 13 prison terms for violent offending.
While in jail in 2014, Turi hit another prisoner with a broom, punched him repeatedly in the face and head and threw an object at him, resulting in a broken back and numerous facial fractures. He received a further one year and seven months in prison.
At the time of his release in July last year, Turi was serving time for driving offences, resisting police and breaching his earlier release conditions.

Advertise with NZME.According to court documents, he soon started to reoffend, demanding a man's Ford car with menaces last October.
He breached the ESO almost as soon as it was issued, failing to report to his probation officer on December 22. Five days later he breached an electronically-monitored overnight curfew, leaving his house at 10.10pm and not returning by the following morning.
On Christmas Eve, he again tried to get the Ford off the man he had menaced in October. He then demanded a woman's Subaru with intent to steal it on December 28.
Turi pleaded guilty to five new offences – three of demanding cars, one of breaching the ESO and one of breaching community detention – in the Hastings District Court on March 22. He was remanded in custody by consent.
The charges involving the cars carry a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. Breaching an extended supervision order is punishable by up to two years in jail.
An assessment conducted by the Department of Corrections, quoted at length in the High Court papers, said Turi had displayed "established and persistent" volatile aggression.

Advertise with NZME.He has usually received jail terms for his offending since 1998, and seems undeterred by the prospect of going to prison. Before 2021, the longest time he had spent out of prison after being released was three months.
The assessment said Turi's violence had been motivated by poor emotional regulation and the need to regain control when faced with a perceived threat or challenge. There was also evidence of "vengeful intent" and alcohol and drug use.
"In the writer's opinion, Mr Turi was disinhibited by a lack of empathy, absence of guilt … and the belief that violence is acceptable in response to a threat or challenge," the assessment said.
Turi completed a high-intensity treatment programme aimed at curbing his violent tendencies in 2003.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – It’s a crash that investigators say could have been prevented.
From cell phone records to the exact location of the Attorney General’s car, newly released documents detail what happened in the moments before and after Jason Ravnsborg hit and killed Joe Boever, near Highmore in 2020.
Ravnsborg later pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors, which means he never admitted guilt. Recently, a panel of nine South Dakota state Representatives voted that Ravnsborg should not be impeached, which triggered the release of the investigation files.
The 30-gigabyte file from the state includes dispatch audio, surveillance video, crime scene photos, text message screenshots and much more.
Now available to the public, the documents portray what all went into this investigation.
From the 911 call…
“I’m the Attorney General and I am, well, I don’t know, I hit something,” Ravnsborg said to a dispatcher.
To the next morning’s discovery…
“Well, I have a dead body in the ditch,” Former Hyde County Sheriff Mike Volek said to a dispatcher.
Newly released investigation files detail what happened the night Jason Ravnsborg hit Joe Boever with his car — and what investigators discovered along US Highway 14 near Highmore.
“His face was in your windshield, Jason. Think about that,” an agent said.
“I did not know it was a man until the next day,” Ravnsborg said. “No.”
On September 12th, 2020, two witnesses saw Boever walking along the north ditch of US Highway 14 with a flashlight. One witness stopped to see if he was okay.
On Ravnsborg’s trip from Redfield to Pierre that night, investigators found he used his phone for over 69 percent of the trip. As he entered Highmore, his phone locked and didn’t turn back on for one minute and 18 seconds. That’s when Ravnsborg unlocked it and dialed 911.
However, the report states that after leaving Highmore, Ravnsborg’s car crossed the rumble strip with the right and left-side tires for ‘an unknown reason’. Ravnsborg told investigators he does not recall crossing the rumble strips. He says he was looking at his speedometer as the crash occurred.
“And then quite frankly, wham,” Ravnsborg said. “I hit, the incident happened. I never saw anything ’til the impact.”
Boever’s flashlight was left illuminated next to his body in the ditch. Ravnsborg says he never saw the light. Former Hyde County Sheriff Mike Volek saw the light and said he was just 5-feet away from it but assumed it was a piece of Ravnsborg’s headlight still shining.
In the days that followed, investigators reconstructed the scene and searched Ravnsborg’s car — finding marks from Boever’s clothing. They also searched for any surveillance video to track both Ravnsborg and Boever the night of the crash.
More than one investigator determined the crash could have been prevented, including Trooper John Berndt of the South Dakota Highway Patrol who wrote ‘if Mr. Ravnsborg is not driving on the north shoulder of the road it makes no difference if Mr. Ravnsborg sees Mr. Boever or not, this crash does not occur.’
The Ravnsborg files also detail his driving history.
In the two years leading up to the crash, law enforcement officers pulled him over 15 times. He was only ticketed twice. In most of those cases, he received warnings, including in February of 2020 when he was pulled over for going 50 miles an hour on a road with a 35 mile an hour speed limit.
According to a highway patrol document, Ravnsborg told the officer he was the attorney general, was on his way to a meeting, and felt the speed was necessary. It’s one of at least three cases where he told the officer his title before receiving a warning. | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/what-wouldve-prevented-ravnsborg-from-hitting-boever/ | 2022-04-01T00:54:43Z |
Which protein shake is best: Premier or Fairlife?
A protein shake after an exhausting workout can be highly beneficial. Protein is the most critical macronutrient required for efficient muscle recovery, so getting enough of it is crucial if you exercise or lift weights often.
If you’re trying to decide which protein shake is right for you, Premier and Fairlife are two popular brands you should consider. Both supplements contain significant amounts of protein and other vitamins and nutrients, but the right one for you depends on your body and fitness goals.
Premier protein shake
Premier protein shakes are a great way to supplement your post-workout diet and boost the muscle recovery process, letting you get more out of your workouts and potentially see results faster.
Premier incorporates plenty of protein and other vital nutrients and vitamins in their products, making them an excellent snack or post-workout recovery supplement.
Premier protein shake pros
One serving of a Premier protein shake contains 160 calories and 30 grams of protein, which is more than even most whey isolate protein powders, which usually have 20-28 grams per serving. There are also many essential amino acids, including 6.6 grams of branched-chain amino acids, which are vital for significant muscle recovery and growth.
They have just 1 gram of sugar per serving and are available in 12 low-fat flavors. From chocolate to vanilla to coffee, every flavor is gluten-free, soy-free and appropriate for keto, bariatric and kosher diets. It’s also worth noting that the coffee flavor contains caffeine and that a handful of flavors can substitute for coffee cream.
Premier protein shakes come in ready-made bottle-size servings as well as in a protein powder for mixing at your leisure. It’s up to your preference, but it’s important to note that the premixed drinks contain more sugar per serving than the powder.
Premier protein shake cons
Although Premier shakes contain 24 vitamins and minerals, they don’t have enough nutrients to serve as viable meal replacements. They’re suitable as snacks in between meals and as post-workout supplements only.
Premier shakes also contain a high amount of protein, which can be unnecessary and even harmful if you’re already getting enough of it from your regular diet in the form of healthy whole foods. Also, they contain artificial sweeteners, and if you’re lactose-intolerant, you’re going to want to steer clear of Premier protein shakes.
Fairlife protein shake
Fairlife protein shakes are an excellent workout supplement for those looking to boost muscle recovery following rigorous exercise. They’re light, so you won’t feel too full after drinking one, making them an acceptable snack as well.
Fairlife protein shake pros
The original Fairlife Nutrition Plan shakes have the same protein as Premier shakes at 30 grams per serving. It contains just 150 calories per serving, so it’s 10 fewer than the ready-made Premier protein shakes. In terms of nutrients, it has nine essential amino acids and several vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, calcium and potassium.
These shakes have plenty of protein, and their low-carb formula makes them an excellent supplement for those seeking to lose weight while maintaining a solid muscle frame. They’re made with ultra-filtered milk, giving them a smooth, creamy texture that’s delicious.
Also, unlike Premier protein shakes, Fairlife shakes are suitable for anybody who’s lactose-intolerant.
Fairlife protein shake cons
They only come in seven flavors, but some users argue that it doesn’t taste as good as other comparable shakes. They’re also pricey, so you might get more bang for your buck with Premier shakes. Also, there isn’t as much diversity in terms of products as with Premier protein products.
Should you get Premier or Fairlife protein shakes?
Both Premier and Fairlife protein shakes work well as workout supplements since they both have plenty of protein and amino acids necessary for muscle recovery. They both also have vitamins and minerals that make them suitable as meal supplements or daytime snacks.
Fairlife shakes are easier on the stomach since they’re lactose-free, so while Premier shakes are also light, Fairlife is arguably the better choice for those following strict diets. However, Premier shakes are available in more unique flavors, so you can try different ones until you find one you like.
Ultimately, both shakes will give you a protein boost sufficient enough to aid in the muscle recovery process, especially if you exercise or lift weights consistently. Although Fairlife shakes have more calories and protein per serving, making them slightly better for those with muscle-building goals, Premier shakes are low in fat, so they’re excellent for anyone looking to lose weight.

Louisville Zoo temporarily closing areas to protect birds from avian flu
The Louisville Zoo announced Wednesday it is temporarily closing some areas to protect its birds from avian flu, which has recently been detected in multiple states.
According to the announcement, the bird flu was recently found west of Jefferson County in Kentucky, where Louisville is located, leading the zoo to close areas such as the Forest Bird Trail and the African penguin exhibits in the Islands Pavilion, Steller’s Sea Eagle Aviary in Glacier Run and Lorikeet Landing in Australia.
The zoo said no birds are showing any clinical signs of the disease and no human cases of the virus have been detected in the U.S., adding that “the Zoo is a safe place to visit.”
“As always, our highest priority is animal safety and welfare,” Dan Maloney, executive director of the zoo, said in a statement.
“By temporarily closing public access to the aviaries, and moving some birds to indoor areas, we will help ensure the birds’ health for as long as the situation requires. These measures are intended to expressly protect the Zoo birds. Zoo guests are not at risk. Your Zoo continues to be one of the safest places to visit anywhere,” Maloney added.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

⌨️ Let's play with AC3 (Apollo Client 3)
Let's open up the root of our React app (client/src/index.js
). It's time to use Apollo Client to send queries to our GraphQL server!
We first need to install 2 packages: graphql
and @apollo/client
.
graphql
provides the core logic for parsing GraphQL queries.@apollo/client
contains pretty much everything we need to build our client, including an in-memory cache, local state management, and error handling.
From the client/
directory, run the following command:
npm install graphql @apollo/client
With these installed, let's import the three symbols we need from the @apollo/client
package in src/index.js
:
import { ApolloClient, InMemoryCache, ApolloProvider } from '@apollo/client';
Let's cover what each of these does!
The ApolloClient
class
As you'd expect, ApolloClient
is the class that represents Apollo Client itself. We create a new client instance like so:
const client = new ApolloClient({ // options go here});
We need to provide a couple of options to the constructor. The first is the uri
option, which we use to specify the location of our GraphQL server. Our server is running locally at localhost:4000
, so the uri
option looks like this:
uri: 'http://localhost:4000',
Second, every instance of ApolloClient
uses an in-memory cache. This enables it to store and reuse query results so it doesn't have to make as many network requests. This makes our app's user experience feel much snappier.
We provide an InMemoryCache
instance in the cache
option, like so:
cache: new InMemoryCache(),
That's all we need to configure our client! Here's the full call:
const client = new ApolloClient({ uri: 'http://localhost:4000', cache: new InMemoryCache(),});
Code Challenge!
ApolloClient
instance, with options setup to point to 'https://graphql.org/swapi-graphql'Our client is ready to use, but how do we make it available to the components in our React app? That's where ApolloProvider
component comes in!
The ApolloProvider
component
The ApolloProvider
component uses React's Context API to make a configured Apollo Client instance available throughout a React component tree. To use it, we wrap our app's top-level components in the ApolloProvider
component and pass it our client instance as a prop:
ReactDOM.render( <ApolloProvider client={client}> <GlobalStyles /> <Pages /> </ApolloProvider>, document.getElementById('root'),);
Now all of our pages, containers, and components can access the client via friendly React Hooks thanks to the context API.
Now we relaunch our app, aaaaand, drumroll... nothing changes! We still get our boring, mostly blank layout (well, at least there are little cats on rockets in the background).
Our client is configured and ready to use, but we aren't actually using it yet. Next, we'll build the query we need to populate our homepage.
How do we make Apollo Client available to our app's React components? | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part1/apollo-client-setup | 2022-04-01T00:54:45Z |

He has loved IT since he started playing video games in the early 1980s and has watched the growth of the the computer and the rise of the internet since.
"My digital pathway started as a side hustle back in 2002 after living in South Korea for a couple years.
"We could see what simple things like broadband access could do for our whanau and community have have been dedicated to that ever since."
The founder and creator of Digital Natives Academy (DNA) expanded that side hustle after helping his iwi navigate the landscape created by the treaty settlements and the CNI agreement.
It became apparent that the IT firms from Auckland and Wellington hired for the job were out of their depth and that's when Potaua stepped in.

Advertise with NZME.Asked what inspired his business, Potaua is frank: Poverty and colonisation.
He says he works way too much, 12 hours a day, seven days a week.
His focus now is on the return of the Rotorua CBD to iwi which he says was stolen 200 years ago. He believes that ultimately, iwi will prevail.
Potaua describes himself as an activist and iwi lawyer Annette Sykes his general.
Poverty and colonisation are the enemy and Potaua wants to wake people up to the fact that the internet is a trillion-dollar-a-year enterprise open to anyone who has the skills. It is the biggest industry.
Looking at Rotorua where the emphasis is on tourism and forestry, those industries are not the way forward in his view.

He fears that once the worry around the covid pandemic calms down the community will see an increase in mental health problems.

BROOKINGS, S.D. (KELO) — The SDSU women’s basketball team are looking for their first trip to the WNIT Championship Thursday night.
The Jackrabbits will meet UCLA in the semifinals, in what will be a sold out crowd at Frost Arena.
As the SDSU women continue to score on the court, local businesses are also winning.
Cubby’s Sports Bar and Grill is following the Jackrabbits’ tournament run game by game.
“Once we know they’re playing and when they’re playing we load up on staff for sure,” Cubby’s Sports Bar and Grill manager Jeremy Deutsch said.
Cubby’s in downtown Brookings is expected to be packed Thursday night as the SDSU women take on UCLA.
“It should be a Saturday night on a Thursday, so it’s been awesome,” Deutsch said.
Nick’s Hamburger Shop is also ready for a busy evening.
“Anytime they have an event up at SDSU, whether it be a border war or a rivalry or anything we generally do see an uptick in business,” Nick’s Hamburger Shop owner Todd Fergen said.
From tournament success to a boost in business, there’s more than one reason to cheer in Brookings.
“You see it just driving around town. There’s just more people in town. Everybody’s busy, it’s not just us. It’s gas stations and all the different places and bars and restaurants in town. You can definitely tell that the Jacks are doing well,” Deutsch said.

Which natural testosterone boosters are best?
Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone that aids in the development of both male and female secondary sex characteristics. But in addition to these actions, testosterone also plays a role in the development of bone and muscle mass, as well as promoting fat loss and increasing overall health and well-being. For people who struggle with low testosterone levels, a natural testosterone booster can help.
Force Factor Test X180 Ignite Total Testosterone Booster is specifically formulated to increase energy levels while recovering from injury or illness. It’s a good place to start to treat low T.
What to know before you buy a natural testosterone booster
Dose
Testosterone boosters gradually improve the symptoms of low T over 30 to 60 days, but you’ll need to get the correct dose.
It’s important to talk to your doctor before you begin supplementation to make sure it’s a good choice for you. In general, follow the dosing guidelines on your supplement. Each will be different depending on the ingredients and the focus of the supplement.
Symptoms
Natural testosterone boosters utilize different formulations designed to address specific symptoms of low testosterone.
These might include:
- Insecurity and low self-esteem
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Thinning bones
- Decreased muscle mass
- Changes in mood
- Insomnia
- Sexual dysfunction
- Decreased libido
- Infertility
Because testosterone production naturally decreases by as much as 1% per year every year after age 30, some of these symptoms can start to appear in younger people. Look for natural testosterone boosters that specifically address the symptoms you are experiencing.
What to look for in a quality natural testosterone booster
Active ingredients
Look for active ingredients that are proven to increase testosterone production and relieve symptoms of low T.
These include:
- Ginger: Among other actions, ginger reduces oxidative stress and boosts production of testosterone. Ginger is also anti-inflammatory and may aid in recovery after injury.
- Rhodiola: Rhodiola suppresses cortisol production and can relieve mood disorders (i.e., anxiety and depression) linked to low T.
- Tongkat ali: Also known as tung saw, longifolia, pasak bumi, eurycoma and longjack, this herb can boost testosterone levels and relieve symptoms of aging.
- Horny goat weed: Chinese medicine refers to horny goat weed as yin yang huo. It’s used to increase blood flow to the genitals. Women may also take it but phytoestrogens in the plant can lead to bone loss and should be used with caution.
- Ashwagandha: This powerful adaptogen has been shown in double-blind trials to relieve fatigue, increase vigor and promote sexual and psychological well-being in men with the symptoms of low T.
- Fenugreek seed: Clinical reviews of fenugreek seed and its effect of testosterone found that it dramatically increased testosterone production and improved libido.
- Tribulus terrestris: Tribulus terrestris is best used with other plants to boost testosterone production. It is important to note that some supplements of this plant have been found to be contaminated with steroids.
No fillers
Look for supplements that contain no fillers or binders. Some of these substances are relatively harmless, like starches, but others come with long chemical names and compositions that can affect the performance of other active ingredients.
Non-GMO
Non-GMO active ingredients are chemical-free and the best choice for a natural testosterone booster. They are also preservative-free and have no toxins that can be harmful with long-term use.
Third-party tested
Because supplements are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration, it’s important that whichever one you choose has been third-party tested for best practices in manufacturing, processing and packaging.
No allergens
At a minimum, your supplements should be free of common allergens like corn, gluten, dairy or soy. If you are limiting or restricting animal products, look for a vegan or vegetarian label.
How much you can expect to spend on a natural testosterone booster
A month’s supply will cost $9-$50, depending on the potency of the booster.
Natural testosterone booster FAQ
How long does it take to see results?
A. Improving your health with natural supplements is good for your body, but it may take a while to see results. When starting with natural testosterone boosters, allow yourself at least 30 to 60 days on the supplement to see if there are any changes.
If you don’t see any changes, you may need to try another supplement or increase the dose. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Are natural testosterone boosters safe?
A. Whenever you add a supplement to your diet, it’s important to talk to your doctor. They can help you determine what supplement might work best for your symptoms and verify that there will be no drug potential interactions.
That said, although natural testosterone boosters are generally recognized as safe, the risk of side effects is always present.
These might include:
- Increased aggression
- Acne
- Digestive upset
- Hair loss
- Abdominal pain
- Allergies to active ingredients
- Development of breasts
Severe side effects are rare and vary depending on the active ingredients.

🛠 Back-end first steps
On the back-end side, our first goal is to create a GraphQL server that can:
- Receive an incoming GraphQL query from our client
- Validate that query against our newly created schema
- Populate the queried schema fields with mocked data
- Return the populated fields as a response
The Apollo Server library helps us implement this server quickly, painlessly, and in a production-ready way.
In the server/src/
folder, open index.js
.
To create our server, we'll use the apollo-server
package that we installed previously. From that package, we'll only need the named export ApolloServer
, so we'll declare that constant between curly braces. Just below, we'll import our typeDefs
from our schema.js
file:
const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server');const typeDefs = require('./schema');
Next, we'll create an instance of the ApolloServer
class and pass it our typeDefs
in its options object:
const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs });
Note: We're using shorthand property notation with implied keys, because we've named our constant with the matching key (typeDefs
).
Finally, to start it up, we'll call the async listen
method. When it resolves, it logs a nice little message letting us know that our server is indeed up and running:
server.listen().then(() => { console.log(` 🚀 Server is running! 🔉 Listening on port 4000 📭 Query at https://studio.apollographql.com/dev `);});
Save your changes. From the terminal, we'll launch our server with npm run start
(make sure you're in the server/
folder).
We get the log message and...not much else! We have a running server, but that's it. Floating in the vacuum of localhost
space without access to any data, it's a sad and lonely server for now. 😿
Which of these are purposes of a GraphQL server?
Even though our server isn't connected to any data sources yet, it would be great to be able to send the server a test query and get a valid response. Fortunately, ApolloServer
provides a way to do exactly that, using mocked data.
To enable basic mocked data, we could provide mocks:true
to the ApolloServer
constructor, like so:
const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, mocks: true,});
This instructs Apollo Server to populate every queried schema field with a placeholder value (such as Hello World
for String
fields).
However, Hello World
isn't a very realistic value for the title of a track or the URL of an author's picture! To serve mocked data that's closer to reality, we'll pass an object to the mocks
property instead of just true
. This object contains functions that provide the mocked data we want the server to return for each queried field.
Here's our mocks
object:
const mocks = { Track: () => ({ id: () => 'track_01', title: () => 'Astro Kitty, Space Explorer', author: () => { return { name: 'Grumpy Cat', photo: 'https://res.cloudinary.com/dety84pbu/image/upload/v1606816219/kitty-veyron-sm_mctf3c.jpg', }; }, thumbnail: () => 'https://res.cloudinary.com/dety84pbu/image/upload/v1598465568/nebula_cat_djkt9r.jpg', length: () => 1210, modulesCount: () => 6, }),};
This object defines mock values for all of the fields of a Track
object (including the Author
object it contains). We pass this object to the ApolloServer
constructor like so:
const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, mocks,});
With mocks enabled, Apollo Server always returns exactly two entries for every list field.
To get more entries at a time, let's say 6, we'll add a Query.tracksForHome
to our mocks
object and return an Array of that given length like so: [...new Array(6)]
.
const mocks = { Query: () => ({ tracksForHome: () => [...new Array(6)], }), Track: () => ({ id: () => 'track_01', title: () => 'Astro Kitty, Space Explorer', author: () => { return { name: 'Grumpy Cat', photo: 'https://res.cloudinary.com/dety84pbu/image/upload/v1606816219/kitty-veyron-sm_mctf3c.jpg', }; }, thumbnail: () => 'https://res.cloudinary.com/dety84pbu/image/upload/v1598465568/nebula_cat_djkt9r.jpg', length: () => 1210, modulesCount: () => 6, }),};
1234567891011121314151617181920
Which of these are true about querying Apollo Server without a connected data source?
Code Challenge!
SpaceCat
, an id
of spacecat_01, and a title
of 'spacecat pioneer'Now, with our server loaded with mocked data, how can we run a query on it to test if everything works as expected? In the next lesson, we'll use the Apollo Studio Explorer to build and run test queries seamlessly. | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part1/apollo-server | 2022-04-01T00:54:52Z |

Applications will soon be open for the third year of grants from the W.R. Corley Memorial Trust to qualified nonprofit organizations, the trustee, Southwest Missouri Bank, announced Thursday.
Eligible organizations include those who provide services to the homeless and low-income populations in Jasper and Newton counties.
“There are many nonprofit organizations in Jasper and Newton counties that help the homeless and disadvantaged in our area,” said Chuck Brown, senior vice president and trust officer at Southwest Missouri Bank, in a statement. “Mr. Corley’s dream was that his generosity would make a difference right here.”
A businessman and benefactor, William Robert "Bob" Corley owned and operated clothing and decor stores The Attic and The Duds Shop as well as Accents, a gift and collectibles shop formerly located on South Main Street. He opened Accents in 1972 and sold it in 1989 to retire. The World War II veteran died in 2019 at age 98.
“Bob Corley loved his community and made sure that this love would be shown every year,” Brown said. “His generosity was well known during his lifetime, and only continues to be felt after his death. Many organizations have been able to benefit, and we look forward to continuing Bob’s philanthropy this year.”
During its first year of grants in 2020, the trust awarded 19 organizations a total of $202,000. Last year, $236,500 in grants were awarded to 36 area organizations and charities.
Grant applications will be available beginning Monday by emailing trust@smbonline.com or by calling 417-623-3424. Applications are due by May 6. Grants will be reviewed by a distribution committee and awarded in late June. | https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/corley-grants-available-for-groups-in-jasper-newton-counties/article_b73bb016-b11a-11ec-847e-2b6c7822b5f1.html | 2022-04-01T00:54:53Z |

Newsom unveils plan for California mental health courts to help homeless
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced a new plan Thursday to help homeless people with mental health and substance abuse disorders.
The Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court would require all California counties to provide free comprehensive treatment to homeless citizens suffering from a list of ailments.
“CARE Court is about meeting people where they are and acting with compassion to support the thousands of Californians living on our streets with severe mental health and substance use disorders,” Newsom said at a mental health treatment center in San Jose. “We are taking action to break the pattern that leaves people without hope and cycling repeatedly through homelessness and incarceration.”
The program will allow community members, including family members, first responders and mental health service providers, to refer homeless people struggling with disorders to community-based services in an effort to treat people before they are “hospitalized or arrested.”
The plan includes local court-ordered individualized interventions and services, stabilization medication, advanced mental health directives and housing assistance, with service plans that last up to one or two years.
People referred to CARE Court will also be given a public defender and a supporter “to help individuals make self-directed care decisions.”
“It’s time we face the painful, but obvious truth: our behavioral health system in California is broken. All of us see it every day on our streets — and it’s long past time we fix it,” said San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria in response to Newsom’s plan. “Governor Newsom’s CARE Court…will provide individuals who are struggling with behavioral health issues a pathway to the housing and health services they need and give those who encounter these individuals a real way to get them the help they need.”
Newsom’s proposal is awaiting approval by the California Legislature.

The make-up of who will sit on Rotorua's next council is in the hands of Parliament as the district's current council pushes for a law change for the district's electoral rules. But the composition the council is pushing for has been on a long journey from the governance model it first proposed, what it prefers and the stopgap model it agreed to. So how did we get here and what could happen next? Local Democracy Reporter Felix Desmarais breaks it all down.
The representation review
Representation reviews are a way for the public to review its representation arrangements and potentially change them. They're a six-yearly legislative requirement for councils.
Questions include how many elected members a council should have, and whether there are wards, or whether all elected members are elected at large – that is, not constricted by an electoral boundary.
For the past two elections, Rotorua Lakes Council had 10 councillors and a mayor, all elected at large. The council also has the Lakes Community Board and Rural Community Board with four members and a chairperson elected and one councillor appointed.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Representation reviews can change this, but there was a spanner in the works this time: the introduction of Māori wards.
When the council agreed to adopt a Māori ward on May 21, it changed the future structure of the council. Instead of electing all councillors at large, now at least one councillor had to be part of a ward.
The initial proposal
First, council officials considered eight representation models, and whittled them down to three, which were floated to the public during an "awareness phase" beginning on June 14 last year.
They were:
• Option one: Seven general ward councillors, three Māori ward councillors (7-3)
• Option two: Six general ward councillors, three Māori ward councillors and one councillor elected at large (6-3-1)
• Option three: Four general ward councillors, two Māori ward councillors and four councillors elected at large (4-2-4)
The council decided early on it would keep councillor numbers at 10.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.All models would elect the mayor at large. Officials settled on option three as the initial proposal and presented it to councillors for approval.
Māori roll voters would be able to vote for six candidates, and general ward voters would be able to vote for eight.
On August 31 the council agreed to put the 4-2-4 model out for public consultation from September 8 until October 8.
The submissions
The council received 159 submissions on its initial proposal. In a response analysis provided to elected members, officials broke down percentages based on how many people responded to each question, rather than the overall number of submitters.
It stated 39 of 80 respondents identified equity or equality as an issue for consideration. Twenty-five of 55 responses favoured the 7-3 model, and 18 wanted a model with a Māori ward and a rural ward.
Two of 55 supported the council's initial proposal.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.At the representation review hearing on October 19, some submitters, such as Federated Farmers, argued for a rural ward.
Others, such as Ngāti Whakaue's Ana Morrison said the hapū wanted iwi co-governance.
Te Tatau O Te Arawa chairman Te Taru White told the council at the hearing co-governance was "always on the table" but in the meantime, Te Arawa whānui wanted three guaranteed Māori ward seats.
Other submitters said the proposed structure was undemocratic, favoured Māori and created "fake" at large wards.
After the hearing, a closed-door workshop was held, where elected members discussed the submissions and hearing feedback and directed council officials on its next steps.
The 'interim' model and the 'preferred' model
In a report prepared for the November 16 Strategy, Policy and Finance Committee meeting, council district leadership and democracy deputy chief executive Oonagh Hopkins pointed out a lack of "parity" with the initial proposal – the 4-2-4 model - for Māori roll voters, as they would only be able to vote for six candidates while general roll voters could select eight.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."This outcome may be seen as unfair to Māori, as it reduces the influence [of] those voters on the Māori ward roll ... which is contrary to the concept of parity."
Hopkins' report also identified themes from the submissions and hearing, including the concept of equality and equity, iwi/Māori co-governance aspirations, the Treaty of Waitangi and equal suffrage.
It also discussed the role of the Rotorua Township (Fenton) Agreement, with Ngāti Whakaue gifting land for the original township in the spirit of reciprocity and the "bicultural intent of the agreement as an equal relationship".
With that in mind, she said the council's new preferred model was one with three Māori ward seats, three general ward seats and four at large seats – 3-3-4.
It allowed voters on both wards the same number of seats to influence and equalised the number of Māori ward and general ward seats.
However, the model was unlawful under the Local Electoral Act as the law has a strict formula that limits the number of Māori ward seats based on population sizes.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.There were 21,700 people on the Māori roll and 55,600 people on the general roll in Rotorua, her report said.
As a workaround, council officials devised a new, "interim" model: one Māori ward seat, one general ward seat and eight at large seats.
"The implications of this spilt, is that it does not deliver a significant number of Māori ward councillors ... but it does achieve parity," Hopkins' report said.
"Staff acknowledge that this option is not [the] council's preferred outcome, and will continue to seek legal remedies to achieve the preferred 3-3-4 representation model."
The committee agreed – narrowly - to recommend the council adopt the interim model, after a split vote that was broken by chairwoman Merepeka Raukawa-Tait's casting vote.
The local bill
At the council meeting later the same week, the recommendation was trumped by a five-part motion introduced by councillor Mercia Yates. Some parts had sub-parts.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.The motion:
• Confirmed the council's commitment to a Māori ward;
• Stated the council's commitment to voter "parity";
• Affirmed the role of the Rotorua Township (Fenton) Agreement and the principles of te Tiriti o Waitangi in Rotorua's electoral system;
• Agreed the preferred model as 3-3-4;
• Noted that model was unlawful and instructed the chief executive to pursue statutory reforms to enable it as soon as possible;
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.• Adopted the interim – 1-1-8 – model; and
• Stated the interim model fell short of the preferred model but achieved "voter parity".
All parts were carried with a division noted only on the last. Councillors Reynold Macpherson, Peter Bentley, Tania Tapsell, Raj Kumar and Sandra Kai Fong voted against it.
The pursuit of a law change to enable the preferred model resulted in the drafting of the Rotorua District Council (Representation Arrangements) Bill.
Rotorua-based Labour list MP Tāmati Coffey is the bill's sponsor. It seeks an exemption from the Local Electoral Act's requirements preventing the 3-3-4 model.
If the bill becomes law before June 1, the 3-3-4 model will replace the 1-1-8 model.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.While Rotorua mayor Steve Chadwick indicated with a public comment on March 23 the bill may or may not go through a select committee process, a council statement on March 2 said it would.
It was publicly notified and now awaits introduction to Parliament for its first reading and referral to the select committee. The select committee then prepares a report and makes recommendations to Parliament, including possible changes to the bill.
The bill is then read a second and third time – with votes to pass or block the bill from becoming law.
If the bill passes its third reading, it must receive royal assent via the Governor-General – generally considered a symbolic process – then it becomes law.
The law change would apply to at least the next two local elections following its passing.
So far, pursuing the law change has cost the council $46,500 in legal fees.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.The appeals
While the council pursues the law change to enable the preferred model, to all intents and purposes, the interim model is the one that will be implemented in this year's local election.
However, all representation review decisions are able to be appealed by submitters to the Local Government Commission, and the council received 12. The commission can overturn the council's decision.
Hearings for the appellants were held over Zoom on March 23, and the commission's decision on Rotorua's governance arrangements is due by April 10. If the local bill fails to pass through Parliament before June 1, that will be the final representation arrangement for at least the next election – a postal ballot which will close on October 8 this year.

Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan will finally settle their differences at UFC 273 next Saturday night (April 9, 2022).
It’s been a long road for each man to get back in the Octagon together. At UFC 259 in Mar. 2021, Sterling became the new Bantamweight champion when defeating Yan by fourth-round disqualification after “No Mercy” landed an illegal knee. The champion has since had neck surgery while Yan went five-round with Cory Sandhagen in Oct. 2021 to earn a unanimous decision and an interim title for his efforts (watch highlights).
Sandhagen is also no stranger to Sterling who handed him his first UFC loss in June 2020 by first-round rear-naked choke submission. With his familiarity in mind — along with seeing how the first Sterling vs. Yan bout went — “The Sandman” doesn’t think Yan should take his rival lightly as indicated on social media.
“I think Sterling is always dangerous because he is such a good grappler, and I think Yan is super dangerous because he punches hard as hell,” Sandhagen told MMA Junkie. “I think Yan is likely the more well-rounded guy, but I think if Yan goes in thinking that he’s just gonna crush him because of the way that the last fight went, I think that would be a huge mistake on Yan’s part, but I don’t think he’s that poor of a competitor.
“I think that he’s gonna go in and do really well again and not let the last fight impact him, and I think Yan is just kind of a better all-around competitor also than Sterling is,” he continued. “But that being said, Sterling’s a very good fighter. He’s a very good competitor and he’s a good grappler so there’s always that.”
Sterling has also expressed his supreme confidence over recent months despite how the first encounter played out. Starting off relatively strong, many believe Sterling faded down the stretch and the champion himself has admitted it wasn’t his best overall performance.
“If I was him (Sterling), I would definitely change the pace that I was fighting,” Sandhagen said. “It was a little bit chaotic, but it also threw Yan off a lot too so that was a positive that came from that, but you saw in the later rounds that was definitely not going to be something that would have benefitted him in Rounds four and five. If I was Sterling, I would definitely change the pace of the fight.
“I would not try and make it as frantic as he kind of made it in the first one and then if I was Yan, I would probably do the exact same thing that he did in the first one because if Aljamain slows down the pace, that just means that Yan gets to fight at a less chaotic pace which I think Yan does really well in so yeah they both definitely have some corrections to make,” he concluded. | https://www.mmamania.com/2022/3/31/23005490/cory-sandhagen-it-would-be-a-huge-mistake-for-petr-yan-expect-crush-aljamain-sterling-in-rematch-ufc | 2022-04-01T00:54:56Z |
Organizations must prepare for a quantum advantage as technological breakthroughs accelerate the timeline for quantum adoption
Join our experts on 5th of April as they answer some of the key questions that will help you move beyond the hype and explore the quantum advantage. Click below to register!
Quantum technologies promise exponential speed-up over today’s best supercomputers and will bring to market currently unavailable capabilities such as tap-proof communications and ultra-precise and fast measurements – collectively, a phenomenon commonly known as the “quantum advantage.”
By providing a fundamentally different way for businesses to solve problems, quantum technologies will give rise to greater efficiencies compared to current technologies, in areas such as risk management, cybersecurity, logistics, operations scheduling, lightweight materials or drug discovery, and climate change mitigation.
In the latest Capgemini Research Institute report, Quantum technologies: How to prepare your organization for a quantum advantage now, we sought to answer these pressing questions:
- Should businesses invest in quantum technologies now?
- How can businesses integrate quantum into their digital transformation/innovation/R&D roadmap?
- How can organizations identify potential quantum advantage?
We found that although quantum technologies have been around for a few decades, the technology is still in its infancy as far as commercial applications are concerned – much like the internet of the 1980s and computing soon after the invention of the transistor. However, that doesn’t mean mass adoption is decades away.
Far from it – recent breakthroughs in quantum technologies mean that mass adoption may occur within this decade. In fact, 23% of all surveyed organizations stated that they are either working with or are planning to work with quantum technologies, and 20% of organizations that have launched successful proofs of concept believe that quantum advantage is less than five years away.
For industries that can be disrupted by quantum, waiting for the technology to mature is not an option. Organizations must start discovering use cases, exploring solutions, forming partnerships, and assessing ways to bridge the skills gap now.

BENEFITS EXPERT: I’m struggling with shortfall in my rent, can I get more help?
Q. I am currently receiving Income Based ESA and I am in The Work Related Activity Group, as I am aged 27 and rent privately my Housing Benefit is capped at the shared accommodation rate.
I am struggling with the shortfall in the rent and wondering if there is any additional help I could get to meet the shortfall or avoid the shared accommodation rate?
A. Generally speaking people under 35 years renting privately, are single and without dependent children then your Housing Benefit will be calculated under the appropriate Local Housing Allowance for shared accommodation. Although you receive legacy benefits the rules and advice given here are equally applicable for Universal Credit claimants in a similar situation (with some caveats). There a number of options available to you in this situation.
Firstly I would advise you make a claim to your local council for Discretionary Housing Payments to cover the shortfall. As the name suggests although you can legally apply for the help the council may not make an award, this is at their discretion and your case will be decided on your particular merits.
You can submit supporting information, for example health problems, financial circumstances, etc. that you feel is relevant.
Successful awards are normally paid for a fixed period. You can re-apply when it ends but the council normally will expect you to try and take steps to maximise your income, for example other benefits you can claim, debt support if you have other non-priority creditors. If your health conditions mean you have any additional care/daily living needs then you should also consider claiming PIP.
If your award is successful then your overall benefit income will increase as PIP is ignored as income for most benefits and you could use the additional money to cover the rental shortfall.
If you do get PIP for daily living, as you live alone you would qualify for the Severe Disability Premium (as long as no-one is planning to claim Carer’s Allowance for a successful award) then the council will use the one bedroom rate of LHA and not the shared rate so more Housing Benefit will be paid towards your rent.
Universal Credit does not have an equivalent Severe Disability Premium but some claimants may be entitled to a transitional element.
Discretionary Housing Payments would also be available for Universal Credit claimants even though your rent costs are paid by the DWP and not the council. | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/opinion/columnists/benefits-expert-im-struggling-with-shortfall-in-my-rent-can-i-get-more-help-3635145 | 2022-04-01T00:54:56Z |
Which green wreath is best?
A green wreath has a classic aesthetic that will never go out of style. Its somewhat traditional design looks nice with many decor schemes. Whether you’re buying one for a specific holiday or for an entire season, you can find a green wreath that suits your tastes.
If you’re in need of the perfect green wreath, consider the Three Posts 24-Inch Red Berries, Pine Cones and Holly Leaves Lighted Wreath. Classic details like holly leaves and red berries give this wreath a look that’s strongly evocative of the holiday season.
What to know before you buy a green wreath
Natural vs. artificial
Live green wreaths will die after a few weeks or, at the most, a couple of months. They can also be quite expensive. While natural wreaths have a limited display time and they’re less affordable than artificial leaves, they offer certain benefits artificial wreaths do not. The pine-branch scent unique to live green wreaths is a top priority for some people and an aspect they are not willing to forgo. And to other people, even the most well-made synthetic wreaths can’t compete with the natural look of live wreaths.
That said, an exquisitely designed and constructed artificial green wreath can masterfully mimic the aesthetic of a natural wreath. Look for materials like silk, which create a more lifelike effect than materials like plastic. Synthetic wreaths also cost less than live wreaths. And you can display them year after year, because they’ll never die.
Year-round vs. seasonal
You might want to display your green wreath year-round or for the entirety of the winter, spring, summer or fall season. If this is the case, avoid wreaths with holiday-specific accents like ornaments, holly berries and mistletoe. Look for design details like ribbons, florals and white string lights instead.
Lit vs. unlit
Speaking of string lights, some green wreaths are pre-strung with them. And not just Christmas wreaths. The main benefit of a lighted wreath is the cheerful glow of the lights on the wreath itself and the surrounding area.
What to look for in a quality green wreath
Fullness
If you want a larger-than-life look from your green wreath, you should choose one with full foliage. Put simply, this means the foliage is substantial in thickness and quantity. As a result, the hole in the center will be smaller. If you prefer a more streamlined style, chances are good that you’ll favor sparse foliage.
Base material
The durability of a wreath is determined in large part by the material that composes the base. Wood and wire are used most frequently. Once the base has been constructed, pine boughs, wheat or straw are wound around it to provide camouflaging.
Type of foliage
The foliage used on a green wreath is determined by the style of the wreath. Leaves in bejeweled fall colors are perfect for autumn. Winter season-themed wreaths typically use pine boughs. And wreaths meant to display in the spring or summer often feature one or more varieties of flowers.
How much you can expect to spend on a green wreath
As stated above, natural wreaths are priced higher than artificial wreaths. A live green wreath might cost you anywhere from $80 to upward of $125. Synthetic wreaths range from $20-$100 in price.
Green wreath FAQ
What kind of design details look nice on a green wreath?
A. While the season ultimately determines the design details used, some are universal. These elements include leaves, fruit, ribbon, string lights and flowers. If you wish to display the wreath in the winter season, you might want to consider a green wreath embellished with white flocking that imitates snow.
What’s the best way to hang a green wreath?
A. You’re no longer limited to using nails to hang your wreath, although this is certainly an option. Instead, you might want to consider brick hangers, command hooks, suction cups, over-the-door wreath hangers or magnetic wreath hangers.
What’s the best green wreath to buy?

🚀 Exploring our first query
Time to put our server to the test and see if we can query for the track data we need for our homepage grid feature.
To write our test query, we'll use the Apollo Studio Explorer. The Explorer is free to use, and it provides awesome development features like interactive query building, query history, and response hints. This will make building our queries fast and fun.
You can cmd+click
on the URL in your terminal to open it your browser, or you can open it right here: studio.apollographql.com/dev
If you're already logged in to Apollo Studio, this link takes you directly to the Explorer. Because this is our first time, we need to create a free Apollo account first. Creating an account is fast, and the benefits of using the Explorer are well worth it!
Apollo accounts, the Explorer, and many other Apollo Studio features are free forever. Studio provides additional features for organizations on a paid plan.
Here's the page we land on the first time:
Feel free to sign up with your GitHub account or with your email address, whichever you prefer.
If you sign up with your GitHub account, Apollo requests access only to your GitHub account's associated email address.
You'll be redirected to finalize account creation. Everything should be pre-filled to make the process seamless, but feel free to make edits. Then click Create account.
The final step is to confirm the pre-filled details to connect Studio to your development server:
For this lesson, keep the settings as they are, in particular:
- Graph type: Development
- Endpoint:
http://localhost:4000
Click Create Graph to create a new development graph that's connected to your local server. A development graph is only accessible to you, and it stays updated with any changes you make to your server's schema.
Exploring the Explorer
All right! Our schema is properly loaded and the dev graph is connected to our local server on port 4000
. We now arrive in the Apollo Studio Explorer:
The Operations panel in the middle is where we create queries. The Explorer has already filled in a default operation that uses our tracksForHome
query! You can edit the operation directly or add fields from the Documentation tab (more on this below).
Above the Operations panel is the button to run our query. Let's click it now and see what happens:
After a brief delay, the Response panel on the right displays our list of track IDs. Sweet!
Building a query
The Explorer's Documentation tab enables you to drill down into your schema's fields, starting at the entry points of the Query
type. When you click on a field, you can see the description we added, along with the field's subfields:
When you click on the ⊕ button next to a field, the field is automatically added to the query in the Operations panel. This is a handy way to assemble complex queries without needing to remember your schema's exact structure.
Let's add the title
field to our query and run it again. You'll see the updated response in the Response panel.
Now also add the thumbnail
, length
, and modulesCount
fields.
For the author
field, we need to add subfields of the Author
type as well. Click into the author
field and then click the ⊕ button for id
, name
, and photo
.
While we're here, let's rename our operation from Query
to getTracks
so it's more obvious what it's for. Your completed operation should match the following:
query getTracks { tracksForHome { id title thumbnail length modulesCount author { id name photo } }}
Task!
Notice that the query's response looks exactly like the data we need to populate the grid on our homepage: nothing extra and nothing missing, all in a single call. A REST API would probably have required us to make multiple calls to fetch each author by their ID.
Code Challenge!
tracksForHome
array and paste it below (not including the trailing comma)The Explorer can do so much more, but this is all we'll cover for now. With our query defined, it's time to take care of building out our front-end app.

OPINION:
Now that the America's Cup is off to Barcelona, the Government has a pile of cash burning a hole in its pocket and an opportunity to re-think how it can use elite sport as a brand ambassador for New Zealand.
The decision by Team New Zealand to reject the $99m ($31m in cash the rest in kind) offer to host the America's Cup in Auckland has paved the way for a fundamental reset on not only what sort of events public funding is thrown at, but also who should be used to promote New Zealand to a global audience and what kind of image the country wants to project to the rest of the world.
For the Government to get its chequebook out and underwrite major events the consideration as to whether it's a sound investment has to go beyond the likely financial return.
These days the real value in hosting events is not in the dollars they pump into the local economy, but the impact they have on a country's brand value. Perception is indeed everything.
Big sporting events have become geo-political amphitheatres – opportunities to sell a particular version of a country's identity to a mass audience.
China has used the Olympics to try to present itself as a dynamic, technological haven where the entrepreneurial spirit can flourish, while Vladmir Putin used the 2018 Football World Cup to present a softer, outward-facing Russia.
South Africa used the 1995 Rugby World Cup to show the world it had forgiven and at least partly healed and collectively had bought into a new future as the Rainbow Nation.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Be they cynical vehicles to hide a multitude of human rights abuses, create a misleading sense of global connection, or project a genuine portrayal of the qualities and values that a country feels best defines it, these high-profile events are incredible PR opportunities.
Investment in Team New Zealand would clearly have been in the latter category – a legitimate and strong promotion of the innovative, technological excellence the country believes it possesses.
The team is built on a value system of hard work, resilience and perseverance, best personified by Grant Dalton, whose clarity of vision, belligerence and will to succeed are universally admired.
There is no doubt Team New Zealand have a marketable narrative, but the harder question is whether it is the right one for the public purse to promote.
Team New Zealand is exclusively male and predominantly European Kiwi. The diversity which defines modern New Zealand is not represented by the crew and while Dalton's doggedness embodies the pioneering spirit on which the country was built, he's a rich white guy battling to give mega-rich white guys a few weeks of entertainment.
It has always felt like the Government is taking from the poor to give to the rich by supporting the America's Cup and trying to sell itself to the world as an adventure playground for billionaires.
The justification to use public funds to support the America's Cup has long been based on the economic returns, with the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment forecasting (pre-Covid) that the 2020 event would inject between $600m to $1bn into the national economy.
But an estimated $436m of that was going to come from servicing and re-fitting superyachts that would be drawn here by the event and New Zealanders have to ask whether they want their tax dollars to be used as bait to lure Russian oligarchs, robber barons and other shady figures to port so their vanity toys can be upgraded.

Advertise with NZME.New Zealand already has a global reputation for being a safe investment haven for ill-gotten gains, its lax tax and trustee laws fingered in the Panama Papers as being attractive to those trying to conceal their wealth.
A Government willing to invest in an event that is essentially off-limits to women and those on lower incomes all in the hope it will lead to the super rich throwing some loose change about, sends a clear message that New Zealand is elitist and not fussy or particular about whom it does business.
The America's Cup, and by association Team New Zealand, have strong stories to back, but they are narrow, exclusive and privileged.
Investing in Team New Zealand would have been investing in division – a win for the haves and yet another blow for the have nots and ultimately it would have presented the country as two-tiered.
Auckland not winning the America's Cup hosting rights is not an act of betrayal but a lucky escape and the Government now has the chance to redirect its $99m of ear-marked sports event investment into a vehicle that will cast the country as the egalitarian, diverse, cosmopolitan centre of excellence so many believe it is.
And as fate would have it, there is a near perfect investment opportunity on the horizon.
At some point later this year, New Zealand Rugby will be looking to raise $100m from institutional investors and on every level it makes sense for the Government to buy in and preferably do so on a scale that gives them a seat at the boardroom table where they can build a new, hands-on relationship with the sport.
Rugby has the egalitarian profile that better encapsulates the country. It's gender and ethnically diverse, pervades deeper into the New Zealand psyche and is a significantly more accessible participation sport than sailing because you need boots and a ball, rather than a boat and the means to get it to the ocean.
The All Blacks are arguably New Zealand's most respected and most loved brand both here and offshore.
They not only consistently win, but they do so with a quintessential Kiwiness: the big stars carrying a humility which speaks to the grounded nature of New Zealanders.
The Black Ferns, in their shorter history, have shown much the same qualities of excellence, innovation and determination, and the sense of fun and unity that the Sevens team is carving out for itself, is starting to resonate on the world stage.
Rugby better represents modern New Zealand and projects an image of unity and equality – a country where background and upbringing are not barriers to success.
Even on a straight economic argument, a $100m investment in NZR's capital raise stacks as better business than pumping the same amount into the America's Cup.
A bet on rugby will provide annual multi-million dollar returns in perpetuity – and it will be reputable money, no taint to it, no lingering whiff of Russia and dubiously acquired assets clinging to it.
If New Zealand wants to use sport to tell a story about itself to the rest of the world, then rugby feels like it has a better narrative than the America's Cup. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/gregor-paul-new-zealands-lucky-escape-why-losing-the-americas-cup-is-a-blessing-in-disguise/7WCMERIBEATMJPBVKXFP3JMTUE/ | 2022-04-01T00:55:01Z |
Federal inspectors confirm bird flu in Missouri
Federal inspectors confirm that the bird flu, or avian flu, has been found in Missouri, making it one of multiple states where the disease has recently been detected among birds.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said Friday the disease was found in a flock of commercial broiler chickens in Stoddard County, The Associated Press reported.
All the birds on the affected properties will be killed and disposed of to prevent the disease from spreading further, the department said.
The samples from the flock of chickens were first tested at University of Missouri Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory and checked at a USDA veterinary lab.
Avian flu is easily spread among birds as it can be contracted through contact with infected poultry, equipment and on outfits of human caretakers, the AP noted.
This comes as cases of avian flu have been found among birds in several other states in recent weeks, including Virginia, Kentucky and New York. No cases have yet been detected in humans.
After avian flu was found near Jefferson County in Kentucky, where Louisville is located, the Louisville Zoo on Wednesday announced that it was temporarily closing some areas to protect its birds from the disease.

Tom Aspinall has wasted little to no time establishing himself as an elite Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight. Still only five fights into his run with the company, the Brit is fine with continuing onward at a slower pace.
This month’s UFC London event concluded with the biggest win of Aspinall’s 14-fight career as he finished Alexander Volkov with a first-round straight armbar submission (watch highlights). Now ranked at No. 6 in the division, Aspinall makes for a prime potential candidate to challenge for an interim title in undisputed kingpin Francis Ngannou’s absence. However, the Manchester, England native is not all too interested in that.
“That’s not really something that I think about. I’m not interested in that, really,” Aspinall told CBS Sports. “I think there are other people that deserve it more like Stipe [Miocic] or Jon Jones. There are definitely other people who deserve it more than me. I’ve only just broken into the top 10. I’m not looking at doing any of that stuff. Look at Ciryl Gane, he was this close to beating Ngannou. People like that guy deserve it way more than me.”
Following his Volkov victory, Aspinall let it be known he wants No. 3-ranked Aussie brawler Tai Tuivasa for his next opponent. Though Aspinall now finds himself less confident in that bout coming to fruition with rumblings having started up about Tuivasa vs. Miocic.
Ultimately, the 28-year-old just wants to be “the guy” people think of when they think of British mixed martial arts (MMA).
“Nothing just yet, but I heard before that he was in talks with Stipe to get that match,” Aspinall said of a fight with Tuivasa. “Then I heard from a couple of inside sources that fight is nowhere near close. The ball is in his court, but I want to fight in the U.K. Me and Tai in the U.K. would be unbelievable. I want to be the U.K. guy. I want to fight in the U.K. I don’t want to go on a card now and just be another guy on the card. Do you know what I mean? I want to be the U.K. darling. I want to be that guy.” | https://www.mmamania.com/2022/3/31/23005625/tom-aspinall-not-interested-in-fighting-for-interim-title-ufc | 2022-04-01T00:55:02Z |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said. | https://www.keloland.com/washington/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T00:55:01Z |

Los Angeles-based shoe company hosts virtual auction of limited edition and one-of-a-kind ballet flats to raise awareness with 100% of proceeds supporting Ukrainian people
LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Los Angeles-based shoemaker Tieks announced the launch of #TieksForUkraine, a virtual auction and raffle featuring their famed ballet flats, running from March 31 to April 3. In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, 100% of the auction and raffle proceeds will be donated to World Central Kitchen's #ChefsforUkraine initiative, an on the ground organization providing millions of meals 24/7 to families across all eight border crossings including Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Hungary.
For the first time ever, prized past limited editions, beloved bygone styles, and exclusive pairs that have never been sold publicly, including a brand-new, one-of-a-kind style, will be available for bid and raffle throughout the four-day auction. The auction is open to all U.S. residents and available through the Tieks.com website.
Within the first two hours of the auction, thousands of bids have been placed, with styles fetching bids as high as $4,500 (Toscani) and $3,500 (Arabian Night).
Historically, limited-edition Tieks are released on rare occasions like Black Friday and routinely sell out in 24-72 hours, making these releases some of the most coveted designs by the brand. These limited-edition styles have become among the most highly anticipated shoe releases year-round, with fans preparing to do almost anything to get their hands on a pair. Limited release pairs usually retail for significantly more in the secondary markets after they are no longer available from Tieks. However, from March 31-April 3, fans will have a chance to get their hands on a pair while also supporting an incredible cause.
#TieksForUkraine will feature eight total pairs, with seven up for auction and a one-of-a-kind pair for raffle including one limited edition style each of Red Diamond (2017 release), True Love Red (2021 release), Giraffe (2012 release), Toscani, Arabian Night, and Brown and Black Ostrich—two styles that have never been available for sale publicly. All auction styles will start at $100 and be awarded to the highest bidder. Additionally, Mirage, a one-of-a-kind pair in a sparkly sand hue will be available to win via a raffle. Raffle tickets for this style are $1 each with an unlimited purchase amount. As an added bonus, Tieks will also give away $100 Tieks Gift Cards to 10 additional raffle winners.
"I'm humbled that my company and our community are able to support the people of Ukraine through the #TieksForUkraine initiative," Gavrieli said. "In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, who have lost so much and shown immense courage and strength, our community wants to be involved in contributing to the Ukrainian people in a meaningful way." Gavrieli added, "My hope is that through the auction proceeds, World Central Kitchen will be able to provide tens of thousands of meals for Ukrainians braving this unimaginable war."

✏️ Let's define that schema
With our IDE opened to our freshly checked out Catstronauts project, let's navigate to the server/src/
directory. In there, we'll create a new schema.js
file.
To get started with our schema, we'll need a couple packages first: apollo-server
and graphql
.
- The
graphql
package provides the core logic for parsing and validating GraphQL queries. - The
apollo-server
package provides a full-fledged, spec-compliant GraphQL server with some nice utilities like thegql
template literal that we'll use in a moment.
From the server/
directory, run the following:
npm install apollo-server graphql
Now in schema.js
, let's obtain the gql
template literal from apollo-server
:
const { gql } = require('apollo-server');
What is this gql
thing we're importing? It's a tagged template literal, used for wrapping GraphQL strings like the schema definition we're about to write.
This converts GraphQL strings into the format that Apollo libraries expect when working with operations and schemas, and it also enables syntax highlighting.
Next, let's declare a typeDefs
(short for "type definitions") constant, assigning the gql
template where our definitions will go. While we're at it, let's export typeDefs
now, because we'll need it for our server file later on.
const typeDefs = gql` # Schema definitions go here`;module.exports = typeDefs;
Note the use of backticks (`
) with the gql
tag, not to be confused with single quotes ('
).
Great, we're ready to define our types. Referring back to our mockup, we identified that we need the following data for each learning track:
- Title
- Thumbnail
- Length
- ModulesCount
- Author name
- Author picture
How do we organize this data into types?
Well, we could create a single type named Track
, shove all those fields into it, and call it a day. But would that make sense from a business domain point of view? Not really. For starters, a single author might create multiple tracks, and that author's information would be needlessly duplicated across multiple locations. Instead, we need to think in terms of standalone entities. We'll start with two: Track
s and Author
s.
The Track
type
We'll start with the type Track
that represents a particular learning track. Let's define the type and add a description right away:
"A track is a group of Modules that teaches about a specific topic"type Track { # Fields go here}
Now for the track's fields, we'll have:
id
of typeID!
title
of typeString!
author
of typeAuthor!
(we'll define theAuthor
type when we're done withTrack
)thumbnail
of typeString
(a URL to the image for the track's card)length
of typeInt
modulesCount
of typeInt
Here's our complete Track
type:
"A track is a group of Modules that teaches about a specific topic"type Track { id: ID! title: String! author: Author! thumbnail: String length: Int modulesCount: Int}
How do we determine which of these fields should be allowed to be null? One approach is to make the schema reflect our "business" domain rules. In our case, a track could exist without a thumbnail for instance, but a track without a title or author doesn't make any sense from our "business" point of view.
What does an exclamation mark after a field's type indicate?
Add some nice descriptions for each of these fields, then let's move on to the Author
type.
The Author
type
"Author of a complete Track or a Module"type Author { # Fields go here}
The Author
type contains only three fields:
id
of typeID!
name
of typeString!
photo
of typeString
Here's the complete type:
"Author of a complete Track or a Module"type Author { id: ID! name: String! photo: String}
Excellent, our first feature is now fully represented in our schema. These are the data types we'll be able to retrieve.
We're still missing one piece though: how to tell the GraphQL server what to retrieve when we query it. Remember, we don't have multiple specific endpoints to target different types like a REST API does. Instead, we define a special Query
type.
The Query
type
The Query
type is defined like any other object type:
type Query { # Fields go here}
The fields of this type are entry points into the rest of our schema. These are the top-level fields that our client can query for.
For now, we're only interested in fetching the track list for our homepage. Let's name that specific query tracksForHome
to make it as descriptive as possible. We want this query to return a non-null list of non-null Track
s. We'll also add a nice description:
type Query { "Get tracks array for homepage grid" tracksForHome: [Track!]!}
Our schema is now fully defined to support our first feature! Here's how the whole schema looks:
type Query { "Get tracks array for homepage grid" tracksForHome: [Track!]!}"A track is a group of Modules that teaches about a specific topic"type Track { id: ID! "The track's title" title: String! "The track's main author" author: Author! "The track's main illustration to display in track card or track page detail" thumbnail: String "The track's approximate length to complete, in minutes" length: Int "The number of modules this track contains" modulesCount: Int}"Author of a complete Track"type Author { id: ID! "Author's first and last name" name: String! "Author's profile picture url" photo: String}
Which of these are always true about the Query
type?
Now that our base schema is ready, we can start working on our GraphQL server.
Code Challenge!
Query
containing a field spaceCats
to fetch a List
of SpaceCat
. A type SpaceCat
with its subfields: id
of type ID!
, name
of type String!
, age
of type Int
and missions
of type List
of Mission
. Finally define the Mission
type with its subfields: id
of type ID!
, name
of type String!
, and description
of type String!

Shark vacuum review
Pets bring much to our lives — including extra messes. Pet parents need vacuums that have the added power necessary to clean up hair, dander and dirt trodden in on paws, and even though a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner can do the trick, it isn’t always necessary.
Shark claims its Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum offers power and versatility in a lightweight package. The company says it can tackle dirt deeply embedded in carpets and makes cleaning stairs and upholstery easy in the handheld mode.
We tested the Shark Rocket Pet Plus to see if there’s truth to these claims and if this vacuum is worth the buy.
Testing the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum
At BestReviews, we know that testing out a product for a couple of hours isn’t the same as using it day in, day out. That’s why we send products to our group of testers to use them over an extended period, test out the manufacturer’s claims and see how they really perform.
We sent the Shark Rocket Pet Plus to a tester who lives in a three-bedroom home with a short-haired dog. Our tester usually uses a Dyson V8 Animal vacuum, so they were able to compare it to another big brand. They tried it out for two weeks before reporting their findings.
What is the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum?
The Rocket Pet Plus is a stick vacuum, which is a type of lightweight vacuum cleaner. We found it extremely lightweight and modern compared to traditional upright vacuums. It converts into a hand vacuum for smaller cleaning tasks, stairs and upholstery. It’s also specifically designed as a pet vacuum and comes with a range of tools to make it easier to clean up after pets.
Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum price and where to buy
The Shark Rocket Pet Plus costs around $180 and is available at Amazon.
How to use the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum
We found this Shark vacuum extremely easy to set up. It comes in three parts: the body, the stick and the cleaning head. All you need to do is fit one end of the stick to the body and the other end to the cleaning head and you’re ready to go. You can also set it up as a handheld vacuum by attaching the cleaning head or another cleaning tool directly to the body without the stick.
As it’s a corded vacuum, it must be plugged into an outlet before you can start vacuuming. It has just two modes to choose from, labeled I and II: I is a less powerful mode that we used for hard floors and II is a more powerful mode that we used for carpeted areas.
Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum benefits
Maneuverability
We found this lightweight vacuum highly maneuverable. We had no problems navigating around furniture and squeezing the cleaning head into tight corners to get the best clean possible. It was just as lightweight and easy to maneuver as the Dyson V8 Animal, although lacking the convenience of being cordless.
Suction power
The suction power was good and we experienced no issues cleaning up the hair from a short-coated dog on both carpets and hard flooring. There’s an indicator light that turns red if there are any clogs, so it’s easy to solve issues that might affect suction power as they arise.
Cleaning modes
You can select between two cleaning modes. Mode I is a standard powered mode, while mode II gives you an extra boost. Although mode I is supposed to be for hard floors and mode II for carpet, we found both worked well for carpets and hard floors, so it’s more dependent on whether you need extra power.
LED headlights
The LED headlights illuminate your cleaning path to help you see dirt. This is especially useful in low-light conditions or for cleaning under furniture.
XL dust cup
While it isn’t as large as the dust cups you’d find on upright vacuums or in canister models, it has a large capacity for a stick vacuum, so you don’t need to empty it too often while cleaning. We found it easy to empty, especially when you remove the body of the vacuum from the stick.
Handheld mode
The handheld mode is great for tackling stairs, upholstery and for spot cleaning. It’s easy to convert into a hand vacuum and back into its regular configuration again, so it’s not a huge ordeal if you want to switch modes during a cleaning session. You can use the regular cleaning head or the other cleaning attachments in handheld mode.
Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum drawbacks
Power cord
Although the power cord is long enough to vacuum large rooms without unplugging it and moving to another outlet, it’s still a pain to switch outlets when you clean your whole home and to coil it up when you’re done. We must say we prefer the convenience of a cordless vacuum, but many buyers are happy to stick with corded options to save money.
Loudness
This is a loud vacuum cleaner. We had the TV playing in the background while cleaning, and it was inaudible over the sound of the vacuum. The lower-powered mode I is somehow louder than the higher-powered mode II.
Top-heavy
We didn’t like the fact that it’s so top-heavy that you can’t leave it standing up if you take a break from cleaning. Even the best stick vacuum has this problem, so it isn’t unique to this one. However, some have sticks that fold in the center so they’ll balance standing or have rest notches to make leaning them easier, which are features this model lacks.
Should you get the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum?
It might not be the best Shark vacuum of all time, but the Shark Rocket Pet Plus is a good stick vacuum at an affordable price. If you’d rather not pay the premium for a cordless model, it’s an excellent choice, but some buyers long for the convenience of going cord-free. Of course, not every vacuum is right for every buyer, but this one is a solid mid-range option for homes with pets.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri’s record general revenue surplus was off-limits for spending plans as the House Budget Committee worked Thursday, defeating Democratic efforts to boost money for public schools and state colleges.
The only significant addition to education budgets approved by the committee was to restart the teacher Career Ladder program, providing $21 million to give experienced teachers $1,500 to $5,000 a year in extra pay. The program has not been funded since 2010.
The committee didn’t vote on adding $214 million for public school transportation needs — and didn’t consider amendments for large increases for higher education — because Chairman Cody Smith, R-Carthage, ruled the amendment broke a House rule requiring a corresponding cut.
The ruling prevented Rep. LaKeysha Bosley, D-St. Louis, from pushing an amendment giving $104 million to Lincoln University to cover funds it has taken from its general budget to match federal land-grant appropriations.
In an interview with The Independent, Bosley said she will try again when the budget is debated on the House floor and may try to use federal stimulus funds, which are not restricted by the rule requiring a corresponding cut.
“It is disheartening, to say the least,” Bosley said. “This is what they deserve.”
Refusing to use some of the $1.8 billion of general revenue surplus to fund school transportation means districts will pay the costs from funds that could be used for after-school or other enhancement programs, said state Rep. Maggie Nurrenbern, D-Kansas City.
“We have continued to have a tremendous underinvestment of state resources into our schools,” she said.
In his budget proposal for the coming fiscal year, Gov. Mike Parson did not recommend any increase in funding through the $3.56 billion foundation formula or for school transportation. The $214 million sought by Nurrenbern is the difference between the $114 million proposed for transportation costs and the 75% share state law indicates is a state responsibility.
Smith told the committee he was adhering to what is known as the balancing rule even as he recognized his budget plan leaves a record amount of revenue unspent.
“That money sitting in the state treasury doesn’t do anybody any good,” Smith said.
The only significant increase in general funding for public schools in the coming year’s budget will be through a dedicated sales tax. The tax, which is distributed on a simple per-pupil basis, will provide $1.15 billion in the coming fiscal year, about $40 million more than this year.
Higher education institutions, usually the target for cuts when revenues are short, deserve an extraordinary increase, said state Rep. Peter Merideth, D-St. Louis.
“We are a rare state that has dramatically decreased our funding of higher education over the last decade,” Merideth said.
Parson’s budget recommended a 5.3% increase in higher education funding for the coming year, dedicating $838 million to four-year universities, $161.7 million to community colleges and $8.4 million to the State Technical College in Linn.
Merideth wanted to bump it to 10%.
Smith, however, said the biggest chore facing budget writers is using the many billions of federal funds flowing into the state that have a deadline for use. Evaluating Parson’s proposals for federal stimulus spending and deciding the best way to use the state tax surplus is time-consuming, Smith said.
“It is a difficult thing to jam all that in a four-month legislative session,” he said.
The politics of COVID-19 reached into the budget deliberations Thursday when Rep. Chris Sander, R-Lone Jack, offered an amendment to put limits on mitigation measures at school-sponsored events. Under his proposal, which will be part of the budget, no state tax money can be spent on any event open to the public if people who are not vaccinated or not had recent negative tests are not allowed to attend.
The amendment, which Sander succeeded in attaching to all the budget bills, stems from being turned away from an event, he said.
“I suffered quite an embarrassment after buying a ticket and then being told I couldn’t enter,” he said. “We have gone two years without a vaccine mandate, and this is just ensuring that whatever happens with the pandemic going away that doesn’t happen.” | https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/house-budget-committee-rejects-adding-surplus-revenue-to-missouri-public-schools-colleges/article_7aceaa5a-b135-11ec-b1d7-770dce8f8ded.html | 2022-04-01T00:55:05Z |
