NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Football Business Awards (FBA), considered the industry's foremost and prestigious accolade, has shortlisted TECNO's #AnnounceYourself Augmented Reality (AR) Campaign for the 2022 Best Brand Activation Involving Football. Blending the most advanced AR immersive technology, a storied club and the aspirations of football fans all over the world, the #AnnounceYourself campaign was a runaway success, catching the eyes of many football executives and professionals all around the world.
Into its 10th year, the FBA celebrates the vital role that clubs and businesses play shaping the football industry, and enabling every game to be a success, both on and off the pitch. It recognizes outstanding successes such as excellence in football media, marketing efficiency, as well as business and technology innovation. With an illustrious judging panel selected for their particular experience and expertise, the FBA has grown into a significant annual networking event in the industry.
In the capacity of being Manchester City's Global Official Handset Partner, TECNO created a metaverse-like experience for fans to interact with the club set in Man City. This AR experience saw fans journeying through the club, in a simulated reality akin to a football metaverse. From visiting the Etihad Stadium and Man City Football Academy training campus, to signing a new contract, selecting their squad number, and mingling with first-team players, the AR campaign accorded football fans a ticket to live out their dreams supporting their favorite club.
Users could also take part in the 3D penalty shootout games before showing off their skills and scores on social media. The AR experience campaign culminated in a grand lucky draw where lucky contestants won rare VIP matchday tickets and travel to a Manchester City home fixture during the season.
This campaign received recognition from the judging panel behind the FBA because it reflects a turning point in how technology can be integrated into our passions and to utilize platforms such as AR to unite fans and allow them to share common experiences, such as playing football or supporting a club.
With this AR campaign, TECNO has not only demonstrated the far-reaching effects of utilizing sports marketing but also worked to cement the brand's presence on the global stage. This reflects TECNO's mission as a technology company to bring to consumers, an innovative brand experience through cutting-edge technology and marketing.
The FBAs were designed to celebrate excellence and acknowledge success in the business of football. The Awards recognize the essential role that business plays in football, the positive impact of football on the community and the vital role played by the businesses which serve the game. This is the event at which all the achievements off the pitch are celebrated at the end of each year. With an illustrious judging panel selected for their particular experience and expertise, the FBA has grown into a significant annual networking event in the industry.
With "Stop At Nothing" as its brand essence, TECNO is committed to unlocking the best contemporary technologies for progressive individuals across global emerging markets, giving them elegantly designed intelligent products that inspire consumers to uncover a world of possibilities.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Todd Bowles earned his way in the NFL on the defensive side of the ball.
He’s not afraid to talk offense.
The new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won’t be shy about sharing his ideas with offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and quarterback Tom Brady.
“I’m the head coach. I get to do whatever I want,” Bowles said Thursday, a day after taking over because Bruce Arians moved into a front-office role. “I’m not going to call plays. I understand that. But I have input on how defenses are trying to attack them. I have input on certain situations going into the half, two-minute or third downs or going for it or not going for it and those types of things. That’s my job and I have the freedom to do that. At the same time, I understand and respect Byron and Tom a great deal and they know that. I think we’re off to a good start from a communication standpoint and we just have to keep building.”
Bowles gets a second opportunity after going 24-40 in four seasons with the New York Jets from 2015 through 2018. He also was an interim head coach in Miami for three games in 2011. He becomes only the 12th minority to get a second head coaching opportunity since 1963, according to data in the NFL’s 2022 Diversity and Inclusion Report.
“When I first started in New York, you try to do things the right way and you don’t do it your way, you end up having regret. So I’m going to do it my way,” Bowles said.
Arians joined Bowles at his introductory news conference and learned the Buccaneers will induct him into the team’s Ring of Honor this season. Brady also was in attendance.
Arians, who turns 70 this year, said his decision to step down as coach was about “succession” and making sure he turned the team over to Bowles with an opportunity to succeed. When Brady unretired on March 13, Arians realized the time was right.
“Succession is way important to me,” Arians said. “This has been my dream for a long time. Guys that know me, they knew I wanted one of my guys to take over.”
Arians dismissed reports of friction with Brady, saying it “couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Bowles and Arians have a relationship that dates more than 40 years. Bowles played safety for Arians at Temple in the 1980s and was defensive coordinator on Arians’ staff in Arizona before joining him in Tampa.
“He is the most influential coaching figure and father figure that I have ever had in this league,” Bowles said, adding that it was a bittersweet feeling when he got the news from Arians.
Bowles made it clear he has a different personality than Arians.
“The only thing we have in common is our bald heads,” Bowles said. “He smokes, I don’t. He drinks, I don’t. So, we never got in each other’s way.”
Arians led the Buccaneers to their second Super Bowl title in 2020 and an NFC South title in 2021. With Brady back, Bowles takes over a team that has championship aspirations.
“Good players make good coaches so you always want to have good players,” Bowles said. “I’m not going to apologize for inheriting a talented team. I’ve had less success with a team. It’s different to the fact that I don’t think I can go into this trying to be Bruce. I would fail miserably if I tried. … I can be me.
“I understand a lot of things I’ve learned from my coaching experience, especially from him so I’m going to take that approach. The one thing I know is I know I can coach football players regardless if you’re an All-Pro or a rookie. All of your players want to be coached and help them get better. I can help people get better and I’m going to use my approach.” | https://www.wfla.com/sports/buccaneers/todd-bowles-calls-replacing-bruce-arians-bittersweet/ | 2022-04-01T00:58:20Z |
BEDMINSTER, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–During the most recent, annual, international Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC 2022) in San Diego, at the expert panel session entitled, “Will Quantum Always Remain Basic Research or is it Ready to Power Great Products?”, the world-renowned telecommunications expert, Dr. Peter Winzer, stated categorically that “Quantum key distribution (QKD) … has yet to yield practical products that solve real-world problems….QKD only strives to provide a secure key, typically at kbps to mbps rates, which is unsuitable for today’s massive traffic needs. Significantly higher speed physical-layer security systems exist, including Apriori Network System’s method for secure, high-capacity optical data transmission.”
There has been a raging debate as to whether QKD will solve the problem of the vulnerability of optical fibers to physical hacking. Despite much research into QKD technology, there remains a lot of skepticism. A United Kingdom National Cyber Security Centre1 (NCSC) white paper referring to QKD, states that “it does not endorse its use in government or military applications…” and the NSA2 asserts QKD, “suffers from limitations and implementation challenges that make it impractical for use in National Security System (NSS) operational networks.”
The U.S. Government’s Committee on National Security Systems3 (CNSS) specified a product that monitors fibers for breaches using more conventional technology.
Gary Weiner, CEO of Apriori, points out that the CNSS4 solutions are designed to detect fiber hacks, but the emphasis is on detection of tampering and not prevention of fiber hacking or dealing with the tapping problem. Mr. Weiner contends, “the ability of a person-in-the-middle hacker accessing transmission data to monitor, influence and control critical infrastructure could be devastating financially, security-wise, and even impact lives. The sooner service providers recognize this risk and act on it, the better we will all be.”
The Apriori PrivaC™ fiber links guarantee privacy-asssured transmission service by intrinsically defending itself from eavesdropper attacks over an entire protected fiber span.
About Apriori Network Systems
Apriori Network Systems, as a privately held N.J. company, is positioned to be the world leader in cost-effective, privacy-assuring, efficient, practical prevention of physical hacking of optical fiber communications systems. Apriori’s first product, the PrivaC™ fiber platform, based on a patented solution, is presently in final development and available for demonstrations.

VIENNA (TASS): US Pe-rmanent Representative to the Organization for Secu-rity and Cooperation in Eu-rope (OSCE) Michael Car-penter claims that Russia has blocked a one-year extension of the mandate of the OSCE Special Monito-ring Mission to Ukraine.
“It is deeply regrettable that the Russian Federation has blocked the consensus on extending the mandate of the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine. This is irresponsible and unjustified, but I think this is hardly surprising,” the US envoy said in a widespread statement at a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna.
The mandate of the mission was renewed annually for a year. On March 31, 2021, it was extended until March 31, 2022.
As Michael Carpenter noted, the US “accepts” Ukraine’s objections to closing the mission. “We also fully support the efforts of the chairman (OSCE – TASS note) to continue negotiations in search of a consensus,” he added.
The OSCE Mission began its work in Ukraine on March 21, 2014. The decision to form it was supported by all 57 member countries of the organization.
The mission includes about 1,000 observers. Mission offices are located in Kyiv, Donetsk and Lugansk.
In early March, OSCE Secretary General Helga S-chmid announced the evacuation of almost 500 SMM monitors from Ukraine following the start of Russia’s military operation. | https://thefrontierpost.com/us-russia-blocking-extension-of-osce-mission-to-ukraine/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=us-russia-blocking-extension-of-osce-mission-to-ukraine | 2022-04-01T00:58:24Z |
Now it’s official. Citibank, which once wanted to go to the suburbs in India, is selling its retail business in the country to Axis Bank, India’s third-largest private bank.
The sale is part of Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser’s plan to overhaul the bank’s business model and existing consumer business in 14 countries, including Mexico, which was added later to the list. A day after announcing the Rs 12,325-crore all-cash deal – Axis Bank will pay Citi an additional amount for transitional support until the operations are fully integrated – Citi Asia Pacific CEO ...

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History—home to the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz and a recreation of Julia Child’s kitchen—will now house several of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s personal items.
The museum previewed the artifacts, donated by Ginsburg’s children Jane and James Ginsburg, Wednesday during a virtual tribute. Judge Ginsburg was also awarded a posthumous Great Americans medal, which honors figures who have made a lasting impact in their fields.
The family donation includes famous artifacts like Ginsburg’s beaded “dissent collar,” her judicial robe, and a leather briefcase with gold “RBG” lettering. But there are some oddities, too, such as Lego figurines and a photo of an RBG tattoo. Let’s take a look:
Bobblehead doll
Publication the Green Bag produces bobblehead figures of the justices that include allusions to notable cases. Ginsburg’s doll nods to United States v. Virginia and Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
2019 MTV Movie Award
Ginsburg won a 2019 MTV Movie Award for “Best Real-Life Hero,” beating out tennis star Serena Williams and rock climber Alex Honnold. The pioneer for gender equality was also nominated for “Best Fight,” for her work combating inequality as shown in the 2018 documentary RBG.
Image of an RBG tattoo
A fan sent the judge a photo of a tattoo of Ginsburg’s face. She hung it in her chamber’s powder room.
Cartoon of Justices Scalia and Ginsburg
This illustration by Elizabeth Baddeley shows the late Justice Antonin Scalia and Ginsburg in vigorous dissent. Scalia and Ginsburg, despite being on the opposite sides of the political spectrum, were close friends.
On the Basis of Sex signed movie poster
The 2018 movie, which was written by Ginsburg’s nephew, Daniel Stiepleman, is a biopic of RBG’s life and her journey to becoming a Supreme Court Justice.
While there are currently no plans to display the objects at the museum, you can catch a look at them via the virtual event in which the items were unveiled. | https://www.washingtonian.com/2022/03/31/ruth-bader-ginsburgs-famous-dissent-collar-and-her-legos-and-mtv-award-are-now-part-of-the-smithsonian/ | 2022-04-01T00:58:24Z |

Did you see that? The page loaded instantly with all the track data, then after a brief moment, the number of views changed from 2 to 3! And we see the console log we set up earlier pop up here. That means our mutation was completed after the page was loaded. So how were we seeing everything on the page with no errors before?

of this track, search for it in the cache, and update its numberOfViews
field. When the cache updates, so does the UI. Thanks Apollo Client!
How do we see the number of views for a track update while we're on the page?
🥳 That's it!
You've completed Part IV of our Lift-off series, congratulations! We've now got a working application for aspiring catstronauts to use to explore the universe, and we can see how popular a track is with its number of views.

People with a disability felt forgotten during the Brisbane floods, and they're pushing for emergency planning to change
By Baz RuddickBrendon Donohue, who lives in a South Brisbane apartment, said when his building flooded he felt alone and forgotten.
Key points:
- Mr Donohue says communication broke down during the Brisbane floods, with dozens of people with a disability living in his complex
- Open letter released to call for emergency responses to improve for people with a disability
- Researcher says people living with disability need to be included in plans
While the rising waters attributed to his worry, it was the lack of communication and the feeling no-one was watching out for him which really left him feeling isolated.
Mr Donohue is blind and lives in a community housing apartment complex.
He said the dozens of people with a disability in the building was inadequate, and vulnerable residents felt left in the dark.
During the flood his building's lift broke down, an intercom connecting his apartment to the normally 24-hour concierge was also out of operation and the entrance to the building was temporarily moved.
"Nobody thought to come and even show me where that entrance door was," he said.
"Even if I had to go out or needed to evacuate I would not have been able to get out of the building because the front door entrances were not working.
"There was no information provided via a means of communication, and if there was, it was presented in a visual way where I was unable to read it."
Mr Donohue was given an office number to contact building management, but it was only in operation during business hours.
While emergency food was made available, it was restricted to business hours and any communication he had with staff dropping it off was limited and they were unable to offer helpful information about the disaster.
"As more water fell, it became a scary experience."
'Disproportionate risk'
Mr Donohue said his recent experience made him realise how ill-prepared many organisations were.
He wants government-led change to make it mandatory for disaster management plans to be more inclusive of people living with a disability.
An open letter signed by 40 leading disability rights and advocacy organisations has called for just that — more resources to improve disaster and emergency responses for people with disabilities.
The letter, which was developed by Queenslanders with Disability Network (QDN) and People with Disability Australia (PWDA), called for urgent and immediate action to develop a national approach to improve the safety and wellbeing of Australians with disability in the event of a disaster.
The letter also called for the development of a national plan and road map to deliver on disability inclusive disaster preparedness, resilience, and recovery, as well as investment for multi-sector targeted responses.
"Australians with disability experienced first-hand significant impacts and disproportionate risks to their safety and wellbeing during the recent ... floods," the letter read.
"This has resulted in loss of services, supports, medical needs and basic needs as well as physical and psychological injuries."
People with disabilities included in plans as 'appendix'
Associate Professor Michelle Villeneuve has been leading research with the University of Sydney into disaster risk reduction that is inclusive of people with disabilities.
She said in the past few years, resources had been developed so people with disabilities can tailor an emergency plan to their specific needs.
She works with community disability organisations and emergency services to develop and rollout plans.
She said they often either leave people with disabilities out or simply acknowledge them with no specific plans on how to assist them in a disaster.
"It's pretty exciting to see them being put into action, but I think what's missing now is equitable access to those tools," Dr Villeneuve said.
"All levels of government are responsible for making emergency management plans and those plans cover how communities will respond in a disaster event.
She said in order to improve emergency management plans and make them more inclusive, people with disabilities need to be represented on the committees making the plans.
"The sad story in our research is that there are far too many people who aren't connected to services and supports. So those people are at considerable risk," she said.
Many people with disabilities feel left behind when it comes to emergency responses, Dr Villeneuve said.
"Their words overwhelmingly echo this. They will say 'nobody checked on us, nobody cared, nobody, nobody thought to see how we were doing'," she said.
"That can go on during the event itself, and it can also go on for a long period of recover where people can get quite isolated from community and from services and supports." | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-01/qld-brisbane-foods-disability-emergency-evacuations-planning-/100957608 | 2022-04-01T00:58:25Z |

The past week has been a whirlwind for Elouise McDaniel, an 82-year-old Irvington resident sued by the township for various reasons, including filing over 75 requests to the township for information within three years via New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act.
On Thursday evening, she learned the township’s intentions to drop the lawsuit — just a day after McDaniel had secured an attorney.
“We look forward to Irvington dismissing this case, but it shouldn’t have taken national press coverage and the ACLU stepping in for them to back down,” McDaniel’s attorney, CJ Griffin, who took the case on pro-bono Wednesday, said in a statement sent to NJ Advance Media. “This law(suit) should never should have been filed in the first place — it was clearly an attempt to keep Ms. McDaniel from being civically engaged and ‘checking under the hood’ of her local government to make sure everything was operating correctly.
“Instead of treating civic engagement as a nuisance, towns should welcome the public’s desire to participate in government and improve their communities.”
Irvington is located in Essex County, about 15 miles west of New York City.
McDaniel declined to comment, referring questions to her attorney. In addition to Griffin’s help free of charge, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey said Wednesday it was also providing assistance in the case.
Responding to the “voluminous OPRA requests has been unduly burdensome, time consuming and expensive,” the township said in the Sept. 17 civil suit, first reported by NBC.
The township also accused McDaniel of filing “frivolous” complaints about Irvington Mayor Tony Vauss’ administration with the Office of the Attorney General and other state agencies. The complaints were submitted “with the sole purpose and intent to harass, abuse and harm plaintiffs and employees of the township, including its mayor,” according to the suit.
McDaniel, who was accused of several counts including defamation, harassment and malicious abuse of process, said Monday that she had a “legal right” to know the information she has requested from the town. Her history of filing OPRA requests and the lawsuit gained national attention, with many online users praising McDaniel’s tenacity.
“While the township maintains that the litigation is meritorious and not filed for malicious reasons, the township shall take steps to withdraw the litigation,” according to a statement provided by the mayor’s office on Thursday. “The primary reason is to avoid the appearance that the township is discriminating or retaliating against any resident.”
Mayor Vauss did not immediately respond to questions seeking clarity on who exactly filed the lawsuit and why the township had decided to withdraw it. Both Vauss and Harold Wiener, municipal clerk in Irvington whom — along with the township — are listed as a plaintiffs in the suit, told NBC they did not file or request the lawsuit. McDaniel said she also did not know who filed it.
Thursday’s statement said Vauss, Wiener, the township’s attorney and outside counsel met earlier in the day and agreed to dismiss the litigation.
“(To) date, there have been no determinations from the Government Records Council that resulted in affirmative relief for Ms. McDaniel,” township officials said. “The GRC has determined that the Custodian of Records did not knowingly or willfully deny any requests for information. In addition, there are numerous other factual allegations in the litigation that do not pertain to OPRA requests; such as frivolous letters and defamatory statements about the township and its employees.”
The mayor’s office also said the township wanted to “avoid unnecessary expenses and legal fees associated with continuation of this matter.”
Vauss’ office noted that despite the withdrawal, the claims in the suit remain “valid.” It also said the township “will continue to provide” responses to OPRA requests “to the best of its ability.”
McDaniel, the president of the Irvington Block Association Coalition, previously said she has long feuded with Irvington township officials and Vauss, who was elected as mayor in May 2014. McDaniel said it culminated with her attempted run against Vauss for mayor in 2018.
“I think that in some ways (this suit) is political … this has been going on for a long time and I’m just tired at this point. I’m tired, this is ridiculous. I want to live out my final years … in peace,” McDaniel said earlier this week.
Both Griffin and McDaniel said that a dangerous precedent could be set were townships be allowed to sue residents for seeking public records.
OPRA requests are intended in part to expand residents’ access to government records, the state’s Government Records Council says on its website. People are not restricted on the number of OPRA requests they can submit to an agency.

Defense official: US concerned over Russia’s ‘intensions’ after seizing nuclear plant
The U.S. is “deeply concerned” over Russia’s near-term “intensions” after the Kremlin claimed they had taken control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant overnight in Ukraine, a senior defense official said Friday.
“We are in no position to refute claims that they are in control of the nuclear power plant. But we don’t know exactly right now what that control means and what it looks like,” the official told reporters.
“That’s one of the things that deeply concerns us … we don’t know what expertise they have, what they’ve applied to this, what their intentions are in the near term.”
Russian forces in the early morning hours of Thursday attacked the nuclear plant in Enerhodar, a city on the Dnieper River that flows through the heart of Ukraine to the Black Sea. The seizure has raised fears over the possibility of a nuclear catastrophe.
While the U.S. does not have “a firm sense on the nature of the attack” on the plant, officials believe there is not any radioactive leakage and that fires started in the nearby buildings have been put out, the official said.
“We don’t have a firm sense on the nature of the attack on the power plant, so I can’t give you a blow-by-blow of exactly how that occurred and who the Russians employed — what they employed to make that assault on the power plant. But the main thing is we don’t see any radioactive leakage,” they said.
The official called the seizure “reckless and dangerous,” adding that the Defense Department is providing advice and council to the Energy Department in working with allies and partners in the handling of the attacked plant.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Friday separately condemned the attack on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, calling it “reckless and dangerous.”
International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi told the United Nations Security Council on Friday that “operation continues normally” at the plant. He stressed, however, “there is no … normalcy about this situation when there are military forces of course in charge of the site.”

It's coming up for 48 hours since Citi's London office was hit by the power cut that afflicted East London, and some of its bankers are still not back in the office. They tell us that they're making the most of the opportunity to revert to working from home. Meanwhile, we understand that some traders are still working out of Citi's back-up office in Lewisham.
Citi declined to comment on the status of its London offices, but it's understood that the offices in Canary Wharf have been open and operational since yesterday. Nonetheless, James Bardrick, head of Citi's UK business emailed staff yesterday to say that staff were advised to "work remotely given the uncertainty of infrastructure availability in and around the Canary Wharf Estate."
It's not clear why some traders are still working in Lewisham. There are unconfirmed suggestions that power may not have been restored to the entire building.
Unlike Goldman Sachs, which has asked some of its people (but not developers) to return to the office full time, Citi's bankers mostly work from home two days a week. This week, they've made the most of the opportunity to work from home ever since the power cut on Tuesday, and don't plan to return until Monday.
"Most people prefer to work from home, it's much easier," says one Citi VP. Whether this also applies to working in Lewisham is less certain.
During the early days of the pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reported that Alison Harding-Jones, Citi's head of M&A for EMEA was working from home in Aldworth, a village 90 minutes from Citi's London office, where she was walking her four dogs and looking after six chickens. Working from home was good, said Harding Jones, but she had to be careful not to feature in her daughter's TikTok videos.
In June 2021, Citi's investment banking co-head Manolo Falco said that allowing its bankers to work from home part-time gave Citi an advantage over its rivals.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), 51job uses non-GAAP financial measures of income before income tax expense, income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to 51job and adjusted earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. The Company believes excluding loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect, from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation, mark-to-market gain or loss is not indicative of the Company's core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company's cash earnings. 51job also believes these non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items, are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.

F.P. Report
WASHINGTON DC: On Thursday, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is continuing to impose severe costs on the Russian Federation for its unprovoked and unjustified war against Ukraine by targeting operators in the Russian technology sector to prevent it from evading unprecedented multilateral sanctions and procure critical western technology. OFAC is designating 21 entities and 13 individuals as part of its crackdown on the Kremlin’s sanctions evasion networks and technology companies, which are instrumental to the Russian Federation’s war machine. Treasury has also determined that three new sectors of the Russian Federation economy are subject to sanctions pursuant to Executive Order 14024 (E.O. 14024). This allows Treasury impose sanctions on any individual or entity determined to operate or have operated in any of those sectors. The sanctions are a part of the Administration’s comprehensive response to Russia’s to restrict their access to resources, sectors of their economy that are essential to supplying and financing the continued invasion of Ukraine.
“Russia not only continues to violate the sovereignty of Ukraine with its unprovoked aggression but also has escalated its attacks striking civilians and population centers,” said Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen. “We will continue to target Putin’s war machine with sanctions from every angle, until this senseless war of choice is over.”
One of the technology companies designated today exports more than 50 percent of Russian microelectronics and is Russia’s largest chipmaker. This follows OFAC’s March 24 designation of dozens of companies in Russia’s defense-industrial base that are directly supporting Put-in’s unjustified war against the people of Ukraine. Treasury took today’s action in close coordination with our partners who are similarly committed to ensuring the Russian Federation is not exploiting their jurisdictions for its destructive aims.
Additionally, today OFAC is designating Russian government malicious cyber actors. The United States will continue to hold Putin’s cyber actors accountable for destructive, disruptive or otherwise destabilizing cyber activity targeting the United States and its allies and partners.
Today’s actions demonstrate the U.S. government’s commitment to countering the evasion of sanctions that the United States and our allies and partners have put in place to impose unprecedented costs on the Russian Federation for its aggression against Ukraine. The Treasury Department will use all authorities at its disposal to enforce sanctions against the Russian government and its proxies. | https://thefrontierpost.com/us-sanctions-russian-technology-companies/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=us-sanctions-russian-technology-companies | 2022-04-01T00:58:30Z |
The central government plans to borrow Rs 8.45 trillion from the bond markets in the first half (April-September) of FY2022-23 to fund the revenue gap for reviving the economy, the finance ministry said on Thursday. This will be around 59 per cent of the lowered full-year gross borrowing target of Rs 14.31 trillion. “The borrowing is scheduled to be completed in 26 weekly tranches of Rs 32,000-33,000 crore.
The borrowing will be spread under 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 30 and 40-year securities (G-secs) and floating-rate bonds of various tenors,” the ministry said. At 59 per cent ...

🧪 Mutation resolvers
We've set up our data source to make a PATCH
call to our REST API. Now it's time to write resolvers to put our data source to work.
In the server/src
folder, let's open up the resolvers.js
file. We need to add another entry to our resolvers
object for our mutation.
We can add it just below our Query
resolvers, and we need to give it the same name as in our schema, which is Mutation
(note the capital M!).
const resolvers = { Query: { // … query resolvers }, Mutation: { // where our new resolver function will go }};
Inside this Mutation
object, we'll add the resolver function for our mutation, which also needs to have the same name as in our schema incrementTrackViews
. And of course, let's add a helpful comment at the top.
// increments a track's numberOfViews propertyincrementTrackViews: (parent, args, context, info) => {},
Which of these are true about the structure of the resolvers
object?
We won't need the parent
argument in this resolver, because it's for a root field in our schema. By convention, we'll just add an underscore. We do need to destructure the second parameter args
to retrieve the id
of the track we're updating. As usual, we'll also destructure the third parameter context
for the dataSources
object. And finally, we have no need for the fourth parameter info
.
Update the resolver function in resolvers.js
:
incrementTrackViews: (_, {id}, {dataSources}) => { // where we'll call the TrackAPI},
In the body of the resolver, we want to call the method we added to our TrackAPI
. As we saw in Lift-off II, we get access to that TrackAPI
through the dataSources
object by configuring it in the Apollo Server options.
So inside the incrementTrackViews
resolver body, we'll call dataSources.trackAPI.incrementTrackViews
, passing it the id
from args
.
dataSources.trackAPI.incrementTrackViews(id);
So far, we've always immediately returned the results of our TrackAPI
calls, because the results match the structure required by our schema.
However, in this case, we have 3 fields required by our schema that are not present in the returned response: code
, success
and message
. This makes sense because they are tied to the REST operation status itself, so we need to set those 3 based on that status.
Why can't this resolver immediately return the results of the TrackAPI
call in this case?
📄 Fulfilling the schema requirements
First, let's wait for the TrackAPI
call to finish returning the data. We can do this by making the function async
, then storing the results in a variable called track
, making sure to await
the results.
incrementTrackViews: async (_, {id}, {dataSources}) => { const track = await dataSources.trackAPI.incrementTrackViews(id);},
Next, let's return an object with all the properties needed to fulfill our schema. For now, we'll assume that the API call was successful, and worry about the error handling in the next lesson.
return { code: 200, success: true, message: `Successfully incremented number of views for track ${id}`, track};
So here the code
will return 200
, the success
property will be set to true
, and we can return message
to show that the number of views was successfully incremented for this specific track ID. And finally, we can return the modified object, track
.
In the end, the resolvers
object should have a new entry that looks like this:
Mutation: { // increments a track's numberOfViews property incrementTrackViews: async (_, { id }, { dataSources }) => { const track = await dataSources.trackAPI.incrementTrackViews(id); return { code: 200, success: true, message: `Successfully incremented number of views for track ${id}`, track, }; },},
Code Challenge!
assignSpaceship
mutation provided in the schema. Use the dataSources.spaceAPI
class and its method assignSpaceshipToMission
, which takes the spaceshipId
and the missionId
as arguments (in that order). This method returns an object with the newly updated spaceship
and mission
. Follow the schema requirements to return an object for the successful result. code
should be 200
, success should be true
and message
should say Successfully assigned spaceship ${spaceshipId} to mission ${missionId}
All right, we've got our successful case resolved, but what happens when our TrackAPI
throws an error? Let's take care of this in the next lesson. | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part4/resolving-a-mutation-successfully | 2022-04-01T00:58:31Z |
Scottish Premier League giants Rangers have withdrawn from their tour of Australia, killing off the prospect of Sydney hosting the first-ever Old Firm match played outside of Scotland.
Key points:
- The Rangers cancelled their tour due to a dispute with the organisers of the Sydney Super Cup
- Fans had objected to the planned match
Celtic are yet to confirm or deny if they will still come to Australia
The Rangers were initially scheduled to face the Western Sydney Wanderers in November before a blockbuster clash with arch-rivals Celtic.
But the Ibrox club cancelled the trip following a dispute with the tour promoters.
"Rangers can confirm the club will not be participating in the Sydney Super Cup in November 2022," the club said in a statement.
"After it became clear the tournament organisers were unwilling to fulfil their commitments to Rangers, we have, with immediate effect, terminated the club's agreement with the organisers."
Fans from both side of Glasgow had voiced their displeasure at the prospect of the Old Firm match being played outside Scotland.
Rangers' recent 2-1 win over Dundee was marred by fans throwing tennis balls and toilet paper on the pitch in protest.
Celtic are yet to confirm or deny if they will still come to Australia.
Ange Postecoglu's side were scheduled to face Sydney FC in the lead-up to their clash with the Rangers. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-01/rangers-withdraw-from-old-firm-clash-with-celtic-in-sydney/100957572 | 2022-04-01T00:58:31Z |
Six teenage students killed in a collision with a semi were riding in a small car with only four seats, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Wednesday.Only the 16-year-old car's driver and front-seat passenger were wearing seat belts when the 2015 Chevrolet Spark collided with the truck Tuesday afternoon in Tishomingo, a rural city of about 3,000 located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of Oklahoma City, the highway patrol said.The highway patrol says those killed include the 16-year-old driver, three 15-year-olds, and two 17-year-old passengers. The victims' names weren't released because they are juveniles. Tishomingo Public School Superintendent Bobby Waitman said in a Facebook post that the district had “a great loss” involving students from the district’s high school.“Our hearts are broken, and we are grieving with our students and staff,” said Waitman.

Dear Amy: I met “Shari” through other friends. We got along well, and always had a great time. I thought we had an amazing bond.
However, once the pandemic hit, I started to see a different side of her.
She is very anti-vaxx and has refused to acknowledge the seriousness of the pandemic. She has ramped up the anti-vaxx posts on social media.
I did send her a message about one post, stating that it wasn't true, and she sent a tirade back at me, rehashing a number of points about COVID-19 and the vaccine that are all untrue.
I don't make friends easily. I have serious trust issues, but I don't see being able to maintain a friendship with someone who is so diametrically opposed to my values and views.
I am willing to accept her being against vaccinations, but she is posting pure falsehoods, and is argumentative when called out with facts, stating that anyone who disagrees with her or counters her arguments is brainwashed by the government and media.
People are also reading…
I keep thinking that once we get past the pandemic, maybe things will be better.
I try not to bring it up, but when I see some of the posts, and when we are together with other friends, it comes up.
I put my head down and keep quiet, but this is eating me up.
My challenge is — how do I end the friendship? I am afraid to end it, as we are part of a group of friends, and if I need to pull my friendship away from her, I will lose those friends, who are my only friends right now.
But I wonder if being alone would be better than this. — Stuck
Dear Stuck: You see this as an “all or nothing” situation, where because of this person’s behavior, all of your other friendships are at risk, but she is not in charge of your other relationships. You are.
You should completely disengage from her on social media. She is not reasonable and does not want to engage in an exchange of ideas, so remove your access to her on this platform. Quietly “hide,” “block,” or “unfriend.”
Change the channel.
There is no need to abruptly end the friendship by declaring it to be over.
You simply need to back away from the relationship. Detach from her.
Don’t gossip about her with others. If she asks you why you are distant, you can truthfully tell her that you’ve become exhausted by her declarations and tirades, which run counter to your own values. | https://journalnow.com/lifestyles/ask-amy-friendship-falters-on-anti-vaxx-posts/article_dac0a1c8-a6bf-11ec-bc98-1fac20b747a4.html | 2022-04-01T00:58:33Z |
NATO has been defeated by Vladimir Putin calling the alliance’s bluff over Ukraine, and should be replaced with a smaller coalition of nations prepared to be more offensive, Britain’s former army commander said today.
General Sir Nick Parker called his suggestion ‘controversial,’ but pointed to the fact that the 30-member alliance – that includes the US, the UK and several European nations – had been unable to prevent the Russian president’s invasion of Ukraine.
The former commander of land forces in the British Army said NATO is now in a defensive position, holding the alliance’s eastern flank that last expanded in 2004.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme that a smaller military alliance would be better suited to ‘develop an offensive counter-strategy to Putin.’ | https://michaelsavage.com/nato-has-been-defeated-by-putin-calling-the-alliances-bluff-and-should-be-replaced-with-a-smaller-coalition-of-nations-prepared-to-be-more-offensive-says-britains-former-army-commander/ | 2022-04-01T00:58:33Z |
Tax day is approaching, and a shorthanded Internal Revenue Service just got a $675 million boost (6%) from Congress and the president. But money won’t fix this problem. We can solve it — and maybe some other problems — with tax reform.
The IRS has its issues. Law professor Beverly Moran reported that last year, “taxpayers had trouble reaching the IRS, tax returns took months to process, almost a quarter of refunds didn’t go out until 2022, and collection notices were sent out even after the tax owed was paid,” and added that the IRS failed to answer 250 million phone calls. The Washington Post suggested that, “What the IRS really needs is a big investment to staff up and modernize its systems. Congress must treat this with the same degree of urgency as the nation’s crumbling infrastructure.”
That’s one way to go. Another approach would be drastically reducing the complexity of federal taxes.
The IRS estimates that small firms bear almost two-thirds of all business compliance costs. In a sense, there are three different taxes: the tax itself, time and money to prepare the returns, and lost interest when paying prior to the due date. The Tax Policy Center says that although almost everyone agrees the current tax system is too complicated, it gets more complex every year. In 2021, the National Federation of Independent Business reported that 64% of small business owners found federal income taxes to be an administrative burden.
People are also reading…
While addressing tax complexity, why not solve other systemic issues? First, there are our popular social programs. Social Security trust fund reserves are projected to be exhausted somewhere between 2034 and 2037. When that happens, retirees’ benefits will be cut, perhaps to 78%. Worse, a report that the Medicare trustees have put forth estimates that the Part A trust fund, which subsidizes hospital and other inpatient care, may run out as early as this year. Medicaid, which covers one-in-five people with lower incomes in this country, will run out of funds perhaps as early as 2026.
Then there’s our national debt. In January, it stood at $30 trillion, including $23.5 trillion owed to creditors. The annual interest that must be paid is over $300 billion each year — our fastest-growing federal expense. Interest on the debt is 23% of all discretionary spending (i.e., everything except Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid). And when interest rates go up, our interest payments go up. Other ways we’re impacted include higher prices, lower home prices, decreased spending for other government priorities (like climate change, education, veterans benefits or defense) and lower returns on private investments.
For both social programs and the debt, there are two solutions: reduce spending or increase taxes.
It’s politically unlikely that we’ll decrease spending on seniors and those of lesser means, even though they represent more than 65% of all spending. We have also just been through a pandemic on which we spent trillions, and it’s uncertain how much we will spend to help contain Russian aggression. While we should cut some spending on useless programs, it is not clear how much we can cut or where.
That brings us back to tax reform and the IRS. Tax increases are never popular, but one way to make them more agreeable is to simplify taxes across the board and reduce compliance costs. The Tax Foundation estimates that we give up 3.24 billion hours and $37 billion to comply with federal taxes each year. Given the headaches and anxiety that come with this, Americans don’t need more IRS workers. We need a leaner agency that lets us quickly pay our share.
There are many such proposals and, of course, they run into opposition from the usual cast of characters who have vested interests in keeping all of their deductions, the Alternative Minimum Tax, and so forth. But individual filers and small businesses represent a huge proportion of the public who would gain from simplification.
Taxes would have to be set at levels that fund our social programs — ideally with those made more sustainable — and, by law, pay the interest and a certain percentage of the debt each year. This would end a lot of worries for a lot of people and put the United States on a firm fiscal base.
There is no need to hire more people to oversee a reformed system. What’s not to like?

We already have a petite style guide, but don't worry tall girls, we didn't forget about you. If you're tall or have long limbs, you know the struggle of finding pants that fit perfectly, hitting your ankle at the correct place. Everyone can relate to leaving dressing rooms frustrated (and calling our moms to rant) because nothing looks right. Getting styles tailored is great, but you can't usually add length to pants. And is there anything worse than sweatpants or pajama pants that are too short and leave your ankles cold?
Luckily, brands like Spanx, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Madewell offer the trendiest pant silhouettes in size-inclusive, longer options. Embrace those legs for days! We did the heavy lifting so you don't have to. We found trending styles that will not only fit, they'll look so flattering on your longer frame.

Phillips Precision Inc., takes the next step in the automation revolution with Smart Machine Monitoring.
Elmwood Park, NJ – “It’s a big step in the final frontier in LEAN manufacturing and LEAN accounting”, said John Phillips, President, Implants and Instrumentation Division.
“The initiative was launched by connecting FactoryWiz software to (12) 5-axis automated machining centers. Monitoring these assets returns a wealth of live and historical data assisting us in making informative decisions and keeping the cells running at maximum capacity.
Things such as productivity reports, idle reason tracking, preventative maintenance, the status of equipment at a glance are just some of the benefits. This real-time data will help us fully track and better understand the performance and productivity of each individual machining center.” Phillips Precision Medicraft, 2022.
And Shop Floor TV dashboards work even if you are too busy to pull up the real-time data.
There is no choice but to take notice of the large visible dashboards as you walk around the shop floor. They tend to become a regular point of interest (the supervisors make sure to at least give a glance every time they walk by) and even become a gathering point for daily meetings or shop walkthroughs. With implementation of Shop Floor TV’s and machine mounted dashboards, Phillips will be more successful with measurable improvements and productivity. | https://industrytoday.com/phillips-precision-invests-in-factorywiz-smart-machine/ | 2022-04-01T00:58:34Z |
NEEDHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CloudInfrastructure–According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Enterprise Infrastructure Tracker: Buyer and Cloud Deployment, spending on compute and storage infrastructure products for cloud infrastructure, including dedicated and shared environments, increased 13.5% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2021 (4Q21) to $21.1 billion. This marked the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth as supply chain constraints have depleted vendor inventories over the past several quarters. As backlogs continue to grow, pent-up demand bodes well for future growth as long as the economy stays healthy, and supply catches up to demand.
For the full year 2021, cloud infrastructure spending totaled $73.9 billion, up 8.8% over 2020.
Investments in non-cloud infrastructure increased 1.5% year over year in 4Q21 to $17.2 billion, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of growth. For the full year, non-cloud infrastructure spending increased 4.2% over 2020, reaching a total of $59.6 billion.
Spending on shared cloud infrastructure reached $14.4 billion in the fourth quarter, increasing 13.9% compared to a year ago, and grew to $51.4 billion for 2021, an increase of 7.5%. IDC expects to see continuously strong demand for shared cloud infrastructure with spending expected to surpass non-cloud infrastructure spending in 2022. Spending on dedicated cloud infrastructure increased 12.5% year over year in 4Q21 to $6.7 billion and grew 11.8% to $22.5 billion for the full year 2021. Of the total dedicated cloud infrastructure, 47.5% in 4Q21 and 46.1% in 2021 were deployed on customer premises.
For the 2022, IDC is forecasting cloud infrastructure spending to grow 21.7% compared to 2021 to $90.0 billion, while non-cloud infrastructure is expected to decline slightly, down 0.3% to $59.4 billion. Shared cloud infrastructure spending is expected to grow 25.5% year over year to $64.5 billion for the full year. Spending on dedicated cloud infrastructure is expected to grow 13.1% to $25.4 billion in 2022.
As part of the Tracker, IDC tracks various categories of service providers and how much compute and storage infrastructure these service providers purchase, including both cloud and non-cloud infrastructure. The service provider category includes cloud service providers, digital service providers, communications service providers, and managed service providers. In 4Q21, service providers as a group spent $21.2 billion on compute and storage infrastructure, up 11.6% from 4Q20. This spending accounted for 55.4% of total compute and storage infrastructure spending. For 2021, spending by service providers reached $75.1 billion on 8.5% year over year growth, accounting for 56.2% of total compute and storage infrastructure spending. IDC expects compute and storage spending by service providers to reach $89.1 billion in 2022, growing at 18.7% year over year.
At the regional level, year-over-year spending on cloud infrastructure in 4Q21 increased in most regions. Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan and China) (APeJC) grew the most at 59.5% year over year. Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Japan, Middle East and Africa, and China (PRC) all saw double-digit growth in spending. The United States grew 5.6%. Western Europe and Latin America declined for the quarter. For 2021, APeJC grew the most at 43.7% year over year. Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, and China all saw double-digit growth in spending. Japan grew in the high single digits, while Western Europe grew in the low single digits. The United States grew 1.5%. Latin America declined for the year. For 2022, cloud infrastructure spending for most regions is expected to grow with the highest growth expected in the United States at 27.8%. Central and Eastern Europe is the only region expected to decline in 2022 with spending forecast to be down 21.7% year over year.
Long term, IDC expects spending on compute and storage cloud infrastructure to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6% over the 2021-2026 forecast period, reaching $133.7 billion in 2026 and accounting for 68.6% of total compute and storage infrastructure spend. Shared cloud infrastructure will account for 72.0% of the total cloud amount, growing at a 13.4% CAGR. Spending on dedicated cloud infrastructure will grow at a CAGR of 10.7%. Spending on non-cloud infrastructure will flatten out at a CAGR of 0.5%, reaching $61.2 billion in 2026. Spending by service providers on compute and storage infrastructure is expected to grow at a 11.7% CAGR, reaching $130.6 billion in 2026.

IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Enterprise Infrastructure Tracker: Buyer and Cloud Deployment is designed to provide clients with a better understanding of what portion of the compute and storage hardware markets are being deployed in cloud environments. The Tracker breaks out each vendors’ revenue into shared and dedicated cloud environments for historical data and provides a five-year forecast. This Tracker is part of the Worldwide Quarterly Enterprise Infrastructure Tracker, which provides a holistic total addressable market view of the four key enabling infrastructure technologies for the datacenter (servers, external enterprise storage systems, and purpose-built appliances: HCI and PBBA).
Taxonomy Notes
IDC defines cloud services more formally through a checklist of key attributes that an offering must manifest to end users of the service.
Shared cloud services are shared among unrelated enterprises and consumers; open to a largely unrestricted universe of potential users; and designed for a market, not a single enterprise. The shared cloud market includes a variety of services designed to extend or, in some cases, replace IT infrastructure deployed in corporate datacenters; these services in total are called public cloud services. The shared cloud market also includes digital services such as media/content distribution, sharing and search, social media, and e-commerce.
Dedicated cloud services are shared within a single enterprise or an extended enterprise with restrictions on access and level of resource dedication and defined/controlled by the enterprise (and beyond the control available in public cloud offerings); can be onsite or offsite; and can be managed by a third-party or in-house staff. In dedicated cloud that is managed by in-house staff, “vendors (cloud service providers)” are equivalent to the IT departments/shared service departments within enterprises/groups. In this utilization model, where standardized services are jointly used within the enterprise/group, business departments, offices, and employees are the “service users.”

Two waves of the pandemic and a market crash on the back of an ongoing war have made “uncertainty” a villain for the Centre’s divestment and privatisation plans. The Centre has missed its revised divestment target for the second time in three years even after slashing the target by 55 per cent to Rs 78,000 crore in the Union Budget.
The divestment mop-up for FY22 was Rs 13,530, which includes Rs 2,700 crore received by the Centre for the privatisation of Air India. Besides this, an additional Rs 3,000 crore will be realised through the offer for sale of Oil and ...

Pentagon: ‘Vast majority’ of $350M in lethal aid to Ukraine has been delivered
The “vast majority” of a $350 million military aid package the U.S. promised to send Ukraine has reached the country, with most of the rest to be delivered within the next week, a senior U.S. defense official said Friday.
The package, approved by the White House on Feb. 26, two days after the Russian invasion, was fast-tracked after it was categorized as “a presidential drawdown,” a label that allows it to forego congressional notification, the official said.
About $240 million worth of the package has made it to Ukraine, including “the most-needed capabilities, like anti-armor capabilities,” they said.
The rest should arrive within days or weeks “but not longer,” the official added.
Washington is sending Kyiv equipment that it has also sent in the past so that the Ukrainians can use it “proficiently,” without any new training.
“I think all of us have been tremendously impressed by how effectively the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been using the equipment that we’ve provided them,” the official said, noting that “Kremlin watchers have also been surprised by this, and how they have slowed the Russian advance and performed extremely well on the battlefield.”
The U.S. has contributed more than $1 billion to help Ukraine’s military over the past year and has pledged more as Russia’s violent attack on the country drags on.
Washington has reportedly sent hundreds of Stinger missiles as part of the $350 million package, while the White House on Wednesday asked Congress to authorize an additional $10 billion in security, humanitarian and economic assistance for the country.
Another 14 countries have also contributed lethal aid to Kyiv since Moscow launched the incursion last week. The official said U.S. European Command has been coordinating the delivery of that assistance from other countries “to ensure that we are using our resources to maximum efficiency to support the Ukrainians in an organized way.”
A second defense official told reporters the weapons were getting into Ukraine through “multiple venues.”
“There are multiple venues through which the support is getting to the Ukrainians on the ground,” they said. “I really don’t want to get more specific than that. We want to be able to continue to help the Ukrainians as much and for as long as we can … so we’re going to be very careful about how we talk about how that support is getting into their hands.”
The second official also said the package is “the highest single drawdown authority in our history.”

🚨 Handling the error case
As we saw in the REST API, it's possible to get a 404 Not Found
response when trying to update a track that doesn't exist. Let's look at how to return the appropriate fields when that happens.
Let's open up the resolvers.js
file again in the server/src
folder.
We've got our successful response for our incrementTrackViews
mutation ready. To handle the situation where the TrackAPI
call throws an error, let's wrap this section in a try
block.
When the error is thrown, we'll make sure to catch it by adding a catch
, which takes the error as a parameter.
incrementTrackViews: async (_, {id}, {dataSources}) => { try { const track = await dataSources.trackAPI.incrementTrackViews(id); return { code: 200, success: true, message: `Successfully incremented number of views for track ${id}`, track }; } catch (err) { return { // we'll return a new object here }; }},
Then, we return an object with the same properties as the object in the success case, but with different values.
We could set the code
to be 404
, but we can also be more dynamic and use the values that Apollo Server and the RESTDataSource
class provide. When an error occurs, Apollo Server attaches an extensions
field to that error that contains relevant error details.
In this case, as our TrackAPI
extends RESTDataSource
, this extensions
object will be enriched with a response
property, which provides some additional information about the HTTP response itself. We can return the status
property, which refers to the HTTP status code. Perfect to use here!
code: err.extensions.response.status,
Next, we can set our success
property to false
.
success: false,
For the message
property, we can craft a custom one, but let's use another value from the same extensions.response
object. That's the extensions.response.body
property. It makes this value more dynamic, since it might return other types of errors in the future.
message: err.extensions.response.body,
Finally, we'll add a track
property and set it to null
, because the object was not successfully modified.
Which of the following statements are true about the error.extensions
fields returned by the server?
The incrementTrackViews
resolver should now look like this, with the error handling added in:
incrementTrackViews: async (_, {id}, {dataSources}) => { try { const track = await dataSources.trackAPI.incrementTrackViews(id); return { code: 200, success: true, message: `Successfully incremented number of views for track ${id}`, track }; } catch (err) { return { code: err.extensions.response.status, success: false, message: err.extensions.response.body, track: null }; }},
The resolver handles both a successful response and possible errors. Which of these are true about the return objects for those two cases?
Code Challenge!
assignSpaceship
Mutation resolver example as in the previous code challenge. This time, we assume the dataSources.spaceAPI.assignSpaceshipToMission()
call will return an error. Modify the following piece of code to properly handle the error returned by the API and return a properly formatted object that conforms to the schema definition of the AssignSpaceshipResponse
type. Remember to use a try/catch block and to return dynamic error data when possible.Awesome, this mutation is ready to go and ready to be tested in the Apollo Studio Explorer! Let's get to it. | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part4/resolving-a-mutation-with-errors | 2022-04-01T00:58:37Z |

SA teachers will no longer notify parents of all classroom COVID-19 infections as cases surge
Teachers at South Australian public and Catholic schools will no longer always tell parents if their child is a COVID-19 classroom contact because the number of cases in schools has made the requirement too "burdensome".
Key points:
- Parents will only be notified if five children in a class test positive for coronavirus
- Cases in SA are expected to peak this month
- The Education Minister wants the SACE merit ceremony to go ahead in-person
The state recorded more than 5,000 COVID-19 cases yesterday and on Wednesday, with cases expected to peak this month.
Teachers in particular have been hard hit, with hundreds off every day in South Australia with COVID-19, as close contacts or as carers, despite the quarantine period for close contacts being cut in half to seven days last week.
Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier told ABC Radio Adelaide this morning that public schools would no longer have to report to parents if their child was a close contact.
Parents will only be notified if five children within a class over a seven-day period has tested positive for coronavirus.
It follows a direction that Catholic schools have already taken.
Professor Spurrier said authorities were looking at other ways to reduce reporting burdens on schools.
"Whether schools are able to report on a year level [instead of classes] so that it's not as onerous but it's really become quite burdensome for the teachers and of course they need to be focusing on teaching the students as much as anything else," she said.
Exemptions for some critical workers
Hospitality venue owners have called for the rule to be relaxed further, but Professor Spurrier said her review would target essential industries that keep society "ticking over".
She cited railway signal workers as an occupation that had been granted an exemption to close contact rules because of their importance to freight transport and the small number of people doing the job.
Push for SACE merit ceremony to go ahead
Education Minister Blair Boyer said he was working with the Premier to ensure the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) merit ceremony occurs in person this year.
The event at Government House was postponed in February and was recently cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.
Mr Boyer said the event was a rite of passage for high-achieving year 12 students.
"I've spoken to the board after speaking with the Premier and made it really clear that they have our support to make sure we can have the event face-to-face as soon as we can," he said.
New Labor ministers Katrine Hildyard, Nat Cook, Andrea Michaels and Kyam Maher will be sworn in at Government House today after missing the original swearing-in ceremony due to having COVID-19 or being a close contact.
Mr Boyer said Mr Maher's appointment was historic for South Australia.
"The fact that today in 2022 we get to see an Aboriginal person in cabinet — but not just in cabinet but the chief lawmaker — is a really special occasion and holds great significance," he said. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-01/sa-teachers-no-longer-notify-all-covid19-classroom-contacts/100957728 | 2022-04-01T00:58:38Z |

This story features MINERAL RESOURCES LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: MIN
By Greg Peel
End of Quarter I
Despite a dip on Wall Street overnight, the ASX200 opened up 42 points yesterday on the back of big rises in metal and oil prices. Ultimately the index closed down -14, but a full -30 points were wiped off by market-on-close orders in the match-up after the bell.
While the energy sector did turn around mid-session on news the US was ready to release oil from its Strategic Reserve, clearly the day was all about end of quarter profit-taking after a solid month of March rally.
Wall Street did exactly the same last night, so our futures are down -42 points this morning. A drop in the oil price was anticipated, and as to whether the new quarter will begin with a sell-off is not a given.
Materials was the standout winner on the day (+1.5%), with Mineral Resources ((MIN)) and Fortescue Metals ((FMG)) each gaining 4.3%.
The White House is also looking to boost strategic metal supply, and Australia is a go-to destination. Battery materials and technology company Novonix ((NVX)) jumped 9.7% yesterday to top the index.
Communication services managed to rise 0.7%, with TPG Telecom ((TPG)) gaining 4.3%, while industrials (+0.2%) was the only other sector in the green.
The banks had a strong March on rising bond yields and budget handouts, but profit-taking took the sector down -1.0% to provide the biggest index impact. Consumer discretionary fell -1.3%, although Tabcorp ((TAH)) rose 2.5% after announcing plans for the long-awaited demerger of its lottery business.
Technology was another March winner, on the Nasdaq rebound. It fell -2.2%, while staples fell only slightly amidst falls of -0.6-0.9% amongst the remainder.
In economic news, new building approvals jumped a full 43.3% in February, after falling in omicron-hit January. While house approvals did rise, it was all about the lumpy apartment block effect. The rush will likely ease once rates start rising.
Job vacancies are up 46.6% year on year. You just can’t get good help. Is it because there are no migrants to do the tough stuff?
And it’s official – the Chinese economy is slowing. China’s March manufacturing PMI and services PMI both fell into contraction at 49.5 and 48.4 respectively.
As suggested, we sold off yesterday and the US followed suit last night for the end of the quarter, so whether we need to be down -42 points today is questionable.
End of Quarter II
As was the case here, Wall Street saw a large amount of sell-on-close orders. The Dow was only down -200 entering the final hour, before closing down -550 on last-minute selling.
All S&P500 sectors closed in the red, led by a -2.3% for the banks as bond yields slipped back further (spread still hanging around +4). The energy sector managed to fall only -1.4% despite the -6% plunge in the WTI crude price, but across the board selling, accelerating into the close, was classic end of quarter stuff.
The Dow closed up 2.3% for the month, with the S&P up 3.6% and the Nasdaq 3.4%. But the Dow closed down -4.6% for the quarter, the S&P -4.9% and the Nasdaq -9.1%.
It was the first losing quarter on Wall Street since March 2020.
Inflation numbers are failing to surprise anymore, at least until we get to March results. The Fed’s preferred PCE measure of inflation rose to 6.4% year on year in February from 6.2%, to mark the highest level since 1983. The core PCE rose to 5.4% from 5.2%.
Biden announced the release of one million barrels per day from the US Strategic Reserve in order to combat surging US fuel prices, as has long been expected. This equates to about 1% of global oil production and 5% of US consumption but as oil analysts agree, it won’t hurt, it’s really little more than a band aid solution, with the last pre-contracted, pre-sanction shipments of crude to the US from Russia due to arrive mid-April.
Meanwhile, Putin is insisting “unfriendly” countries must pay for their Russian imports with roubles. Germany and France have both said get stuffed. Germany, and Austria (these days neutral, a la Switzerland), are now talking about gas rationing. The German finance minister has warned Germans the country will be “poorer” as a result of the war.
OPEC-Plus meets tonight but is not expected to shift from its gradual production increase schedule, and less likely now US reserves are being released.
The problem remains lack of production, particularly in the US where a decade of underinvestment post GFC has left leases idle, and interim low oil prices (remember minus US$40/bbl?) have provided no incentive.
Flying in the face of his green policy push, Biden is now considering fining oil companies holding oil leases on government property if they don’t restart production. The more oil you don’t produce, the more you will be fined, noted Joseph Heller.
As is the case in Australia, we’ll have to wait to tonight to see just how much of a book-squaring exercise last night’s Wall Street sell-off proves to be, or whether sentiment has turned following the solid March rally. Commentators have noted the strong session earlier in the month when it was though Russia might be backing off, and that’s far from the case.
Tonight brings March US jobs numbers as well.
Commodities
Base metal prices have stalled after Wednesday night’s big gains.
Volatility in iron ore has evaporated, with Beijing suspiciously quiet on pricing.
Oils as noted.
On US dollars strength, the Aussie is down -0.4% at US$0.7486.
Today
The first of the month brings manufacturing PMI numbers from everyone else.
US non-farm payrolls tonight.
Summer time ends in Australia this weekend, hence as of Tuesday morning Wall Street will close at 6am Sydney time, while the SPI Overnight will continue to close at 7am.
The Australian share market over the past thirty days…

Washington Examiner
Video footage captured Rep. Maxine Waters telling a large group of homeless people gathered in south Los Angeles to “go home.” The event took place on Friday, but cellphone video made its rounds on social media afterward. In the footage, Waters appears to be surrounded on all sides by people seeking housing vouchers. “I want everybody to go home,” Waters told the crowd. “We don’t got no home. That’s why we’re here,” one woman responded off-camera. “What home we gonna go to?” This group of homeless people had gathered outside the Vermont Community’s Family Solutions Center under the false pretense they would be receiving housing vouchers. Many can be heard in the video asking where they can apply for Section 8 vouchers, which, according to the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, closed its waiting list until further notice. “Nothing is going to happen here today,” Waters told them. “Nothing is going to happen anymore today.” Waters went on to promise that she would continue to work with the HACLA and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority later that same day. “That’s why they’re out here today,” Waters said while outside the Family Solutions Center. “I made them come out here.” Waters originally reported she had just been passing by the area when she noticed the crowd and decided to intervene. She reportedly went on to threaten an employee of the Los Angeles Times for covering the story. “You’ll hurt yourself and the community trying to put this together,” Waters said.

Earlier, the permanent account number (PAN) of taxpayers, who had not linked it with Aadhaar, was set to become inoperative from April 1, 2022. However, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) issued a notification close to the deadline providing relief.
Now, taxpayers can link their PAN with Aadhaar even from April 1, 2022 onwards. However, they will have to pay a fee now. “Earlier the deadline for linking PAN with Aadhaar used to be extended without imposing any fee. But this time the tax authorities have introduced a fee which individual assessees will have to pay,” ...

All the world's a stage, and Lennon Torres is going to dance her heart out on it.
The Dance Moms alum has seen some big changes in the past 12 months. On March 2, 2021, she began her medical transition. On May 30, 2021, she publicly came out as trans in a "life update" on TikTok. Since then, she's become a inspirational voice in the LGBTQ+ community as she documents her journey on social media.
Now, one year since starting a new chapter in her life, Lennon sat down with E! News in an exclusive interview in honor of Transgender Day of Visibility to discuss the ups and downs she experienced during her transition and the importance of sharing trans stories.
"There are so many different steps you have to go through—some good, some bad," the 23-year-old said of transitioning. "I'm happy to be here, but it can be really challenging."
Read on for more of her story.
E! News: Take us back to March 2, 2021. What was that day like for you?
Lennon Torres: I remember that day very clearly for many reason, but primarily because it was the day after my mom's birthday. It was just a really exciting time. Everyone in my family was working or had school, and so I actually went to my appointment by myself, which was weird but special. I remember getting in the car being like, "Am I driving to Walgreens to pick up my hormones right now?" It was such a cool day with so many different emotions.
E! News: And how was the journey to that day like?
LT: I came into this slowly and gradually because of my circumstances. I came out as gay when I was 15 years old. Then, I was training and working so much that I just didn't have time to sit and think about who I was becoming. So, when I got to college, I had amazing friends who were growing into themselves and I was like, "Oh, I have some growing to do." That's when I realized that the he/him pronouns and the identifying as a male was certainly not happening for me, and I came out as non-binary.
Non-binary is a very valid identity for everyone who identifies like that. But for me, it was a little bit of a transition period and space for me to experience and understand what it means to not identify with the binary. I remember I was doing a video shoot for my company, Continuum Community, and my mom had done my hair differently because I unintentionally started growing out my hair. I was like, "Oh, she's kind of looking good right now" and my mom was like, "Oh, are we doing she?'"
That got the wheels like turning: "Oh, she/her. We got some changes make." That was the spark of that conversation that led us to coming out to some closer friends and family.
E!: What are some of the positive things you've experienced since going public with your transition?
LT: I think the biggest standout is hearing the good that you're doing. I believe in the power of children and the power of the youth. So, when I get messages from parents that are like, "You saved my kid" or "You just being yourself is making my kid more confident," that brings me more joy than anything I've ever done. I do it for young people and for people of all ages who need that boost.
E!: What are the negative things you've experienced during that time?
LT: One thing that comes to mind is being scrutinized, always being worried about what others are thinking. I've always had a really big insecurity about being in that half-famous, half-not world. For a while, I was like, "Are people judging me for leaning into it? Are people judging me for not leaning into it? Are people saying hurtful things about my identity?" It gets very overwhelming and very exhausting.
E!: What does Transgender Day of Visibility mean to you?
LT: Trans Day of Visibility is really about seeing these people for who they are and allowing them to be seen and heard. Visibility is about putting trans people in headlines and leaving them there. It's about being honest and sharing these stories whenever they come up and whenever they're necessary to be heard. I'm a transgender woman, but I'm also Lennon—who is a transgender woman and that's not my entire identity.
E!: Who are some of your role models?
LT: I've been really inspired by Lia Thomas lately. Just watching her just trailblazing in athletics and in swimming. There's so much to transitioning and the fact that there are people out there doing it while maintaining a career is so unbelievably inspiring. I just look to them and say, "If they can do it, I can do it."
E!: How has your transition impacted the way you train as a dancer?
LT: It's made my dancing so much more rewarding because I'm not hiding any part of me anymore. It's not that I was ever intentionally hiding, it was just that I wasn't letting all my walls down. It's changed the way I perceive myself in the dance industry and has also increased my self-worth. I've had the big privilege of still working as a dancer while going through my medical transition, and that's been really awesome because I'm showing up as my full self.
E!: What is next for Lennon?
I officially was able to legally change my name, which was a really big deal. I'm excited to begin the process of getting all the right legal documentation so I can go out with my friends and debut Lennon Monroe Torres.

Scientists finally decode the first complete human genome, which sat almost-complete for two decades
Scientists say they have finally assembled the full genetic blueprint for human life, adding the missing pieces to a puzzle nearly completed two decades ago.
Key points:
- Scientists have deciphered the remaining roughly 8 per cent of the genome
- The development opens the door for more medical discoveries
- The research was published on Thursday in the journal Science
An international team described the first sequencing of a complete human genome — the set of instructions to build and sustain a human being — in research published this week in the journal Science.
The previous effort, celebrated across the world, was incomplete because DNA sequencing technologies of the day were not able to read certain parts of it.
Even after updates, it was missing about 8 per cent of the genome.
Solving the puzzle
"Some of the genes that make us uniquely human were actually in this 'dark matter of the genome' and they were totally missed," said Evan Eichler, a University of Washington researcher who participated in the current effort and the original Human Genome Project.
"It took 20-plus years, but we finally got it done."
Many — including Professor Eichler's own students — thought it had been finished already.
Scientists said this full picture of the genome will give humanity a greater understanding of our evolution and biology while also opening the door to medical discoveries in areas like ageing, neurodegenerative conditions, cancer and heart disease.
"We're just broadening our opportunities to understand human disease," said Karen Miga, an author of one of the six studies published on Thursday.
The research caps off decades of work.
Work in progress
The first draft of the human genome was announced in a White House ceremony in 2000 by leaders of two competing entities: an international publicly funded project led by an agency of the US National Institutes of Health and a private company, Maryland-based Celera Genomics.
The human genome is made up of about 3.1 billion DNA sub-units, pairs of chemical bases known by the letters A, C, G and T.
Genes are strings of these lettered pairs that contain instructions for making proteins, the building blocks of life.
Humans have about 30,000 genes, organised in 23 groups called chromosomes that are found in the nucleus of every cell.
Before now, there were "large and persistent gaps that have been in our map, and these gaps fall in pretty important regions," Dr Miga said.
Dr Miga, a genomics researcher at the University of California-Santa Cruz, worked with Adam Phillippy of the National Human Genome Research Institute to organise the team of scientists to start from scratch with a new genome with the aim of sequencing all of it, including previously missing pieces.
The group, named after the sections at the very ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, is known as the Telomere-to-Telomere, or T2T, consortium.
Major breakthrough
Their work adds new genetic information to the human genome, corrects previous errors and reveals long stretches of DNA known to play important roles in both evolution and disease.
A version of the research was published last year before being reviewed by scientific peers.
"This is a major improvement, I would say, of the Human Genome Project," doubling its impact, said geneticist Ting Wang of the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, who was not involved in the research.
Professor Eichler said some scientists used to think unknown areas contained "junk".
Not him.
It turns out that gold includes many important genes, he said, such as ones integral to making a person's brain bigger than a chimp's, with more neurons and connections.
To find such genes, scientists needed new ways to read life's cryptic genetic language.
Reading genes requires cutting the strands of DNA into pieces hundreds to thousands of letters long.
Sequencing machines read the letters in each piece and scientists try to put the pieces in the right order. That's especially tough in areas where letters repeat.
Scientists said some areas were illegible before improvements in gene sequencing machines that now allow them to, for example, accurately read a million letters of DNA at a time.
That allows scientists to see genes with repeated areas as longer strings instead of snippets that they had to later piece together.
Researchers also had to overcome another challenge: Most cells contain genomes from both mother and father, confusing attempts to assemble the pieces correctly.
T2T researchers got around this by using a cell line from one "complete hydatidiform mole," an abnormal fertilised egg containing no fetal tissue that has two copies of the father's DNA and none of the mother's.
The future
The next step? Mapping more genomes, including ones that include collections of genes from both parents.
This effort did not map one of the 23 chromosomes that is found in males, called the Y chromosome, because the mole contained only an X.
Dr Wang said he was working with the T2T group on the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, which is trying to generate "reference", or template, genomes for 350 people representing the breadth of human diversity.
"Now we've gotten one genome right and we have to do many, many more," Professor Eichler said.
Professor Eichler is paid by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which also supports The Associated Press's health and science department.

How to ensure the normal operation of seamless pipes is an indispensable link in the daily production process.
With the current development of science and technology, cs seamless pipe is a new type of transportation equipment that has developed rapidly with the development of scientific production technology. For seamless pipes, industry experts said that this kind of conveying and transporting pipes uses the principle of electromagnetic induction, which is a working principle of transporting liquids according to the electromotive force induced by a conductive medium through an external magnetic field. For many enterprises that use this kind of transportation equipment, how to ensure the normal operation of seamless steel pipes is an indispensable part in the daily production process, and it is necessary to carry out daily maintenance of pipes.
For enterprises, it is necessary to do a relatively comprehensive inspection of the seamless pipe every year, not only from the appearance, but also to test the key parts of the pipe, and then perform a calibration for a value of transportation, and to check the original parts of the pipe. The voltage and circuit are confirmed to ensure that there is no error in each link to ensure the accuracy of the transportation of pipes in daily production activities. When professionals in the industry are inspecting seamless steel pipes, they often have to perform zero-point drift, and it is very important to adjust the zero-point; online zero-adjustment must stop the flow of the conveyed liquid, which is actually not easy to do, so when checking During the process, the operation of the sensor is often checked.
If a result obtained after testing the seamless pipe is consistent with the historical test results, it is clear that the seamless pipe has no problems and can continue to be used. In fact, for this very precise stainless steel pipe, in the daily work and production, there may be some transportation deviations in the transportation equipment due to some bad operations. Therefore, for enterprises, on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the daily maintenance and inspection of these precise transportation equipment, and at the same time, it is also necessary to conduct more professional skills training for operators to avoid improper operation of operators in daily work operations. Operation, resulting in transportation deviation of transportation equipment, not only may cause damage to transportation equipment, but also have a certain impact on production activities.

CrowdStrike was the only vendor to demonstrate native and unified Zero Trust and identity protection capabilities in its platform
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, today announced its results from the fourth round of the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® Enterprise Evaluations. CrowdStrike achieved 100% prevention with comprehensive visibility and actionable alerts – demonstrating the power of the Falcon platform to stop today’s most sophisticated threats.
This round of independent ATT&CK Evaluations for enterprise cybersecurity solutions emulated the WIZARD SPIDER and VOODOO BEAR (Sandworm Team) threat groups, which were chosen because of their sophistication and broad range of post-exploitation tradecraft. The Falcon platform was evaluated among products from 30 vendors.
Falcon Platform Delivers 100% Prevention
The Falcon platform delivered 100% prevention in the ATT&CK Evaluations, consisting of nine test scenarios (including 19 steps and 109 substeps) on Windows and Linux operating systems. According to the 2022 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report, the average breakout time for adversaries — the time an adversary takes to move laterally from an initially compromised host to another host within the victim environment — is 98 minutes. Organizations need to be able to stop attackers immediately, before they can move about the network and cause damage. CrowdStrike shuts down attacks before they start.
CrowdStrike Delivers a Unified Platform Approach
CrowdStrike was the only vendor to demonstrate native and unified Zero Trust and identity protection capabilities in its platform. Adversaries are increasingly using legitimate and stolen credentials to try and evade detection. The Falcon platform shuts down identity-based attacks before they can start by delivering powerful capabilities like identity-based security, comprehensive Indicators of Attack (IOAs), machine learning, automated orchestration and threat intelligence through a unified, cloud-native approach. In the ATT&CK Evaluations, the Falcon platform proved these capabilities stop attackers quickly with more than 93% of attacker tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) stopped before they could execute.
Falcon Platform Delivers Comprehensive Visibility and Actionable Alerts
The Falcon platform provides comprehensive capabilities and tools for security teams to see, stop and understand an attack – scoring visibility on 96% of substeps in the ATT&CK Evaluations while presenting evidence for 99% of substeps. Visibility is a critical requirement of effective security, as security teams require context, historical visibility and response capabilities. CrowdStrike visually highlights detected attacks with rich context to streamline the triage process and helps security teams focus on the most critical threats first. In the ATT&CK Evaluations, the tested activities are presented in just six incidents, minimizing alert fatigue and giving security teams needed context to understand an attack.
“Achieving 100% prevention in the fourth round of the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation shows the power of the Falcon platform, which was designed to enable organizations to take a unified approach in detecting and preventing attacks across the endpoint, cloud, identity and data. CrowdStrike is setting the industry standard with a cloud-native security platform that is designed to deliver the most robust protections and stop the most sophisticated threats,” said Michael Sentonas, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike.

Debate over Ukraine no-fly zone heats up
A growing number of U.S. lawmakers and officials in Ukraine are pleading for the Biden administration and its allies to establish a no-fly zone over Ukrainian airspace to help ward off Russian attacks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have said that a no-fly zone is a key request they have of allies since the Russian invasion began in earnest roughly two weeks ago. Proponents believe a no-fly zone would cut off Russian air support, blunt the advance of Russian troops toward Kyiv and save the lives of innocent Ukrainians.
But Biden administration officials have been consistent and clear that a no-fly zone is off the table, citing the potential for dangerous ripple effects.
“The reason why that has not been a step the president has been willing to take or we have been interested in taking is because a no-fly zone requires implementation,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Thursday. “It would require, essentially, the U.S. military shooting down Russian planes and prompting a potential direct war with Russia, the exact step that we want to avoid.”
Biden have also pointed to the military equipment and “defensive assistance” they’ve given Ukraine to arm them against Russia.
But calls for a no-fly zone have only grown in the wake of a Thursday attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear facility in Ukraine.
“This is a good moment to renew my call for a no fly zone, at the invitation of the Ukraine government. I fear if this continues, we will have to intervene in a bigger way,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a pilot in the Air National Guard, tweeted after the attack on the nuclear plant.
Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told HuffPost this week a no-fly zone should be “seriously considered.”
No-fly zones are used to prohibit enemy aircraft from flying in a certain region and carrying out attacks on populations.
The tactic has been used several times in the post-Cold War era, most notably in Iraq during the 1990s to prevent attacks on Kurdish populations in the northern part of the country and Shiite Muslims in the southern part of the country.
But American and NATO officials have been clear that the idea is not being considered because it could easily escalate into a wider war.
“The only way to implement a no-fly zone is to send NATO fighter planes into Ukrainian airspace, and then impose that no-fly zone by shooting down Russian planes,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said. “We understand the desperation, but we also believe that if we did that, we would end up with something that could end in a full-fledged war in Europe.”
Doug Birkey, executive director of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, says no-fly zone has become a “buzzword,” adding those who support the move want the U.S. to help Ukraine, but don’t understand the complexity of what goes into enforcing a zone.
“They think it’s a low-risk option to do something that [has] some general effect that they notionally think is good, they like it, but the actual intricacies of it, they’re a little thin on that,” he said.
Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said he doesn’t think a no-fly zone is currently necessary, adding that Washington’s primary mission in the conflict is providing military aid to Ukraine.
He told The Hill, however, that the option for a no-fly zone shouldn’t be taken off the table.
“So far, we’ve been able to do that. But if there was ever a problem that developed with that for some reason, I just think we ought to at least have that as a potential option,” he continued.
There are different options for no-fly zones, Panetta said, noting that it would take a lot more effort to enforce a country-wide no-fly zone than a limited zone meant strictly for airlifts.
“I just think it’s important to, to kind of protect all your options,” he said. “And even though they’ve gone on the record, I suspect that there have to be some people that are still giving some thought to a more limited approach if it is required.”
Retired Brig. Gen. Kevin Ryan, former Defense Attaché to Russia, says a no-fly zone in the current environment could negatively impact Ukraine because it has benefitted from its use of drones and aircraft.
Ryan did suggest, however, that the U.S. and NATO could establish a no-fly zone over the western part of the country where Russian troops haven’t arrived.
“That might be something that you could do that would avoid the risk of direct confrontation with the Russians because they’re not really flying there,” he said. “And it would provide a protection that Ukraine wouldn’t see as an impingement on its use of drones and aircraft in the fight that’s happening in the eastern part of the country.”
But opponents of the zone largely take the Biden administration’s stance — that implementing such a zone brings the U.S. closer to armed conflict.
No-fly zones haven’t been imposed against “peer adversaries” in the past, Birkey said, meaning the U.S. imposes these restrictions when it can take on the risk of enforcing them. .
However, enforcing a no-fly zone intended to stop Russian troops would be different, as the risk of escalation is greater due to the threat of nuclear force.
“Against a peer adversary like Russia [with] nuclear weapons in play, it’s going to be far more complex and a lot more risk that it could escalate in pretty ugly ways,” Birkey said.

🧑🔬 Testing our mutation
Now that we have our schema, data source, and resolvers set up with helpful mutation responses, let's get ready to test our mutation in Apollo Studio Explorer.
Let's start up the server by opening up a new terminal window. Here we'll navigate to the server
folder with cd server
, and run npm start
.
With our server running, let's go to studio.apollographql.com
to connect to our development graph, which is running on localhost:4000
.
First let's check out our schema changelog by clicking on the Schema tab on the left sidebar. We can see that a new type Mutation
was added today, with the incrementTrackViews
field!
We can click on this incrementTrackViews
field to see the Reference tab, where we'll see more details about the mutation, as well as a sidebar on the left to access all the other types in our schema. To open this mutation in the Explorer, let's click on the Play icon.
This takes us to the Explorer page, with the sidebar open and ready for us to start building our first mutation.
Click the ⊕ button beside incrementTrackViews
to add it to our Operations section. This pre-fills some information for us! The syntax should feel familiar because it's the same syntax we've seen so far with our queries, particularly in
Lift-off III where we used arguments and variables.
mutation IncrementTrackViewsMutation($incrementTrackViewsId: ID!) { incrementTrackViews(id: $incrementTrackViewsId) { }}
✍️ Building a GraphQL mutation
We start with the mutation
keyword, and then the name of the operation (which the Explorer has named IncrementTrackViewsMutation
for us). Inside the brackets, we've got a variable denoted by the $
symbol called incrementTrackViewsId
, which is of type ID
and required.
This variable is set in the Variables section below. Right now it's set to null
, so let's change it to the same track ID we've been working with: c_0
.
{"incrementTrackViewsId": "c_0"}
When writing a GraphQL mutation, which keyword should it start with?
As a best practice when writing a GraphQL mutation, which should come immediately after the keyword from the previous question?
Back to the mutation in the Operations panel!
Inside the curly braces is where we list our mutation entry point: incrementTrackViews
. It takes in an id
argument, which we set to the variable incrementTrackViewsId
, the same one we just set to c_0
.
Now inside the second pair of curly braces we can start to add the fields available in our response object. These fields are in the sidebar, making it really easy to build this mutation by clicking on the ⊕ button beside the field.
We want to see the code
, the success
boolean, the message
, and the track
object itself.
Inside the track
object, we want the id
and the numberOfViews
. The number of views is what we're updating, so we want to see the newly updated value after the mutation is hopefully successful. The id
will be used by our Apollo Client cache, which we'll cover a little later when we get to the front-end implementation.
The mutation operation should look like this:
mutation IncrementTrackViewsMutation($incrementTrackViewsId: ID!) { incrementTrackViews(id: $incrementTrackViewsId) { code success message track { id numberOfViews } }}
Let's go ahead and run it!
On the right-hand side you can see the fields we expected: code
is 200, the success
flag is true
, the message
says it was successful and we get our newly updated track
back.
When we run the mutation again and again, we can see that the number of views is going up!
In the successful mutation response, where are the values of code
, success
and message
coming from?
Let's see what happens when we change the incrementTrackViewsId
to our silly string "DOESNTEXIST".
{"incrementTrackViewsId": "DOESNTEXIST"}
When we run this mutation, we see the response has code
404, success
is false
, and the message
says Could not find track with specified ID
. The track
is also set to null
with no data available.
When the mutation fails, where are the values of code
and message
coming from in the response?
Our mutation looks great and doing what it's supposed to! It's time to jump over to client-land. | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part4/testing-a-mutation-in-explorer | 2022-04-01T00:58:44Z |

North Carolina's Republican senators have announced they plan to vote against the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court.
That's even though both Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis described Jackson as being "highly qualified."
With U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, confirming Wednesday her plans to vote for Jackson, the judge is expected to be confirmed as soon as the end of next week, according to Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that all 50 Democrats are expected to vote to confirm Jackson, though Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., hasn’t announced publicly how she will vote.
Tillis is on the 22-member Senate Judiciary committee, which is likely to be an 11-11 deadlock on the vote to recommended Jackson to the full Senate.
Such as deadlock means Democrats will have to spend additional hours on the Senate floor next week to do a discharge from committee, The Associated Press reported.

Still, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday the Senate is "on track" to confirm her by the end of next week and before a two-week spring recess, the AP said.
Burr and Tillis listed different reasons for reaching their decisions.
Burr said his one-on-one discussions with Jackson were focused on the judicial philosophy she would bring to the Supreme Court.
“My top concern going into our meeting was ascertaining Judge Jackson’s position on radical proposals to pack the Supreme Court by expanding the number of justices," Burr said in a statement.
"Court packing is a transparent power grab — one that would forever compromise the integrity, impartiality and independence of the Supreme Court. Justice Ginsburg and Justice Breyer both rejected court packing and the next justice who joins the Court should do the same."
Burr said that "unfortunately, Judge Jackson’s answers on the question, in both her confirmation hearing and our personal discussion, continue to be unsatisfactory.
""While she is undoubtedly highly qualified, knowledgeable, and experienced, based on our discussion, I cannot support Judge Jackson’s nomination when it comes before the Senate.”
Tillis said Wednesday that he has "two criteria for reviewing the nomination of any federal judge: their qualifications and their commitment to adhering to the Constitution's original public meaning and federal law as written."
“There is no doubt that Judge Jackson is well qualified and her nomination as the first black woman to the Supreme Court is historic. I was impressed with her knowledge, her composure, and her character during more than twenty hours of questioning."
However, Tillis said that based on her record, "I still hold my initial concerns that she may legislate from the bench, instead of consistently following the Constitution as written."
Tillis said he also was disappointed that Jackson would not "take a firm public stand against a liberal, dark money court-packing scheme that represents a fundamental threat to the independence of the federal judiciary, even though other justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer have done so."
During the confirmation hearing for conservative Supreme Court judges Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, Republicans did not put a focus on the use of dark money in general elections.
“Although I will not support her confirmation, it is highly likely Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be confirmed to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, and I wish her and her wonderful family all the best in her continued public service to our great nation," Tillis said.

Maldon Sea Salt Flakes
"This is an ingredient that I cannot be without. This salt has great texture and flavor and is versatile. Since this salt is an unrefined sea salt, it is much less processed, allowing the salt to retain minerals such as iron, potassium, and zinc for consumption. Interesting fact, this salt comes from Maldon UK, and their master salt makers have been making this salt the same way since 1882," Camila Alves McConaughey said.
This salt has 28,300+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

Scott Morrison says Australia will send Bushmasters to Ukraine and fill Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Australia will fly a number of Australian-made Bushmaster vehicles over to Ukraine, after a public plea from the nation's wartime President.
Key points:
- Bushmasters are an Australian-built armoured troop carrier
- The vehicles have been globally lauded for protecting soldiers' safety
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy used a speech to the parliament to request Bushmasters
Volodymyr Zelenskyy directly appealed for the armoured vehicles while speaking to Australia’s parliament via video link on Thursday, saying those “fighting against evil” must be armed.
Mr Morrison said this morning that Australia would meet Mr Zelenskyy's request.
"We're not just sending our prayers, we are sending our guns, our ammunitions, humanitarian aid, all of this, our body armour," he said.
"We're going to be sending our armoured vehicles, our Bushmasters as well, and we'll be flying them over there on our C-17 [Globemasters]."
But he did not say how many vehicles would be sent or when they would be flown to Europe.
Mr Morrison's confirmation came after Defence Minister Peter Dutton said his department was still looking into how to get the Bushmasters to Ukraine.
"We are very, very much open to the request and I think of the inspiration that President Zelenskyy has provided to his own people and the world – he has brought Europe together in a way that was not possible before the war — we want to do whatever we can to help bring this war to an end," Mr Dutton said on Friday morning.
Speaking via a translator, Mr Zelenskyy said Ukraine needed weapons as well as sanctions against Russia and its supporters.
"Most of all we have to keep those who are fighting against this evil armed," he said.
"For example you have very good armoured personnel vehicles, Bushmasters, that could help Ukraine substantially, and other pieces of equipment that could strengthen our position in terms of armament.
"If you have an opportunity to share this with us we would be very grateful."
The Bushmaster is an Australian-built troop carrier that has been globally lauded for protecting soldiers' safety.
The French company Thales manufactures the armoured carriers in regional Victoria.
"We are doing logistical work on how we would get the Bushmasters there in the numbers they would need," Mr Dutton said.
"Even on one of the huge planes you can probably only put three, maybe four, so we are just seeing what else is available in Europe."
Australian politicians gave Mr Zelenskyy a standing ovation after his address to the parliament.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese each addressed Mr Zelenskyy, with Mr Morrison announcing $25 million in extra support for Ukraine.
"We stand with you, Mr President, and we do not stand with the war criminal of Moscow," Mr Morrison said to Mr Zelenskyy.
"As you stand up to this latest tyrant you are showing us what true courage is, your excellency, it is a courage that is embodied by you," Mr Albanese said. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-01/scott-morrison-australia-send-bushmasters-ukraine/100957634 | 2022-04-01T00:58:46Z |

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — One officer was killed and two others were shot Thursday in Pennsylvania while responding to a domestic disturbance call, Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello said.
Police officers went to a home in the city at about 3:30 p.m. for the disturbance call when gunfire broke out and officers radioed in they were hit, Capello said at a brief news conference.
All three officers were taken to hospitals. One of them has been pronounced dead. A second is in critical condition, but is stable, and a third was in stable condition, Capello said.
The suspect, a 34-year-old man, was killed in the shooting, Lebanon Police Chief Todd Breiner said.
The slain officer's name is being withheld pending notification of extended family members.
Police did not release further details. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/1-officer-killed-2-others-shot-in-Pennsylvania-17049870.php | 2022-04-01T00:58:48Z |

Results Solidify Deep Instinct as a Leader in Prevention
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Deep Instinct, the first company to apply end-to-end deep learning to cybersecurity, today announced the results of its first participation in MITRE Engenuity’s ATT&CK® Evaluations. This round emulated the malicious activities of the Wizard Spider and Sandworm Team threat groups, highlighting results across 30 vendors. The protection segment results validated the strength and robustness of Deep Instinct’s multi-layered, prevention-first approach and unambiguously highlighted the value of its platform. Deep Instinct also achieved exemplary detection coverage across various execution, persistence, and impact techniques emulated.
Until recently, MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations focused on assessing the ability to detect and respond post infection. This is tied closely with the reactive, “assume breach” mindset of the past decade – which looks for anomalous behaviors to stop a breach once an attack has executed on the endpoint. Beginning last year, MITRE Engenuity added a protection component to the test, which aims at evaluating a solutions’ ability to prevent attacks.
Key takeaways from Deep Instinct’s MITRE Engenuity participation include the following:
- Deep Instinct provided visibility and detection to adversary activities in all 15 attack steps tested.
- Our prevention and suspicious activity detection engines achieved excellent detection coverage on techniques related to execution, persistence, command and control, and impact tactics, as well as additional visibility and insight into all other tactics included in the test.
- Over 93% of the Deep Instinct detections were at an analytic level (beyond simple telemetry), with 92% being at the highest detection level and technique. This attests to the high level of context, correlation, and actionability of the events and data presented to the user, reducing both the time and manual hunting and analysis resources required.
“Deep Instinct is thrilled to have participated, for the first time, in this year’s round of the MITRE Engenuity’s ATT&CK Evaluations emulating advanced threat groups. We are pleased to have demonstrated our deep learning powered, prevention-first approach by achieving excellent results in all tested prevention scenarios and providing analytic-level insight across almost all of our detection coverage. These evaluations provide Deep Instinct and others in the industry with valuable insight needed to continuously improve our offerings and prevent organizations from succumbing to prolific and destructive threats,” said Shimon N. Oren, VP Research & Deep Learning at Deep Instinct.
“This latest round indicates significant product growth from our vendor participants. We are seeing greater emphasis in threat-informed defense capabilities, which in turn has developed the infosec community’s emphasis on prioritizing the ATT&CK Framework,” said Ashwin Radhakrishnan, acting General Manager of ATT&CK Evaluations at MITRE Engenuity.
The Deep Instinct Prevention Platform prevents known, unknown, and zero-day threats prior to execution. In contrast, detection and response focused solutions look for anomalous behaviors after the attacker has started to compromise an environment. Deep Instinct maps alerts to MITRE ATT&CK Framework tactics, techniques, and procedures (ttp’s) to provide our customers with greater context around the prevented events and the corresponding alerts. The platform boasts a false positive rate of <0.1% and >99% accuracy in detecting unknown threats. Deep Instinct provides a $3 million ransomware warranty, as well as the industry’s only false positive warranty, both backed by Munich RE.

Short Film Chronicles the Quinceañera Dream of One Woman
NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking International Transgender Day of Visibility, Pantene today released a documentary-style short film chronicling the Quinceañera of a transgender woman, Isa, denied one as a teenager. Longtime agency Grey New York created the campaign.
Against great odds (see stats), from job discrimination to systemic violence, transgender women have made significant progress in Latin America, holding elective office and as business leaders.
People begin understanding their gender identity as early as three years old. But many transgender people don't know or share this about their gender until later in life due to safety and issues of cultural acceptance.
"It doesn't matter when or at what age someone knows who they are, whether at 15 or 44. Whenever they feel comfortable being themselves and sharing that truth is a moment to celebrate," said Martina Brubacher, Director of Communications for Pantene for Latin America, "As a brand, we know the power of hair and how it can be a statement for expressing one's true self, so it's important for us to feature stories like Isa's, a transgender woman who celebrates her journey."
The Quinceañera is a dream come true for many Latina girls as they turn fifteen. But this rite of passage to womanhood, celebrated by family and community, has often excluded transgender women from this cultural milestone.
Pantene has partnered with Isa, a transgender woman in her forties, to give her the Quinceañera she never had. The film tells her poignant story and follows her preparations leading up to and including the day with her friends and family. (Link to the film)
"For all the times I had to hide my identity and deny my existence - today I say, I am here. I am Isa," said Isa
The integrated digitally-led campaign includes online video, social media, influencers, and public relations. The brand once again worked with GLAAD, which accelerates the acceptance and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people by sharing stories and accessing all forms of media to uplift members of the community.
"The team chose to launch this film on International Day of Trans Visibility – to inspire every young transgender person. Anything is possible; happiness and acceptance is something everyone deserves," said Javier Bonilla, Executive Creative Director at Grey.
Please see statistics on the challenges transgender people face:
- Since Statista started collecting data, 2021 is the year with the highest number of deaths of transgender and gender-diverse people, with 375 murders recorded between October 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021. Most of the murders took place in Brazil (125), Mexico (65), Honduras (53), and the United States (53).
- According to the data reported by Sin Violencia LGBTI, between the years 2014 and 2020, 1403 people from the LGBTI community were murdered for reasons related to prejudice against their sexual orientation or gender identity.
- 94% of the transgender population In Brazil reports suffering some form of violence motivated by discrimination due to their gender identity
- 175 transgender people were murdered in Brazil in 2020, 41% more than in 2019 (the country leads the ranking of murders of trans people in the world)

💻 Mutation in client-land
Playing with the Explorer was fun, but we do need to run the mutation from user input in our app. So let's move over to client land and send off our mutation using a new hook!
We want to update the number of views just before we navigate from the homepage to the track page. This navigation is happening inside our TrackCard
component.
Inside the client/src/containers
folder, let's open up the track-card.js
file.
At the top, let's start importing from the @apollo/client
package. We'll need gql
, because we'll be using that same string template literal for our mutation, and we'll also need the useMutation
hook to send our mutation to our server.
import {gql, useMutation} from '@apollo/client';
Next, let's make a new variable to hold our mutation called INCREMENT_TRACK_VIEWS
, setting it to the gql
template literal and adding backticks (`
). Inside the backticks, we'll paste the mutation we built previously in Studio, and add a comment to explain what this mutation is for.
/** * Mutation to increment a track's number of views * (exported for tests) */export const INCREMENT_TRACK_VIEWS = gql` mutation IncrementTrackViewsMutation($incrementTrackViewsId: ID!) { incrementTrackViews(id: $incrementTrackViewsId) { code success message track { id numberOfViews } } }`;
🎣 The useMutation
hook
Because this is a mutation and not a query, we won't be using the useQuery
hook we're familiar with. Instead we'll switch to the useMutation
hook.
Inside the TrackCard
component, we'll start off by calling the hook. It takes in the mutation we set up earlier, INCREMENT_TRACK_VIEWS
, as the first parameter.
The second parameter is an object with a variables
key. Here, we'll add the incrementTrackViewsId
variable and set it to the id
of the track we're navigating to. This id
has already been destructured for us at the top from the track
prop.
useMutation(INCREMENT_TRACK_VIEWS, { variables: {incrementTrackViewsId: id}});
Now, here's a twist: unlike with useQuery
, calling useMutation
doesn't actually execute the mutation automatically!
Instead, the useMutation
hook returns an array with two elements, which we'll start to destructure here.
const [incrementTrackViews] = useMutation(INCREMENT_TRACK_VIEWS, { variables: {incrementTrackViewsId: id}});
The first element is the mutate function we'll use to actually run the mutation later on. We'll call it incrementTrackViews
. The second element is an object with information about the mutation: loading
, error
and data
. This component doesn't need it, so we don't have to extract it.
👆🏽Setting up the onClick
When do we want to run our mutate function? When the user clicks on the card!
Let's add an onClick
prop to the CardContainer
component and configure it to call our mutate function, incrementTrackViews
.
<CardContainer to={`/track/${id}`} onClick={incrementTrackViews}>
Sending a mutation client-side
loading
, error
and Drag items from the box to the blanks above
data
useGqlQuery
options
useQuery
useMutation
variables
Which of these are differences between the useQuery
and useMutation
hooks?
1️⃣ One more thing…
One last thing—let's add a console log to check the mutation response when it's completed.
To do this, let's go back to where we set up our useMutation
hook and add another property to our options
object. The onCompleted
property is a callback function that will run when the mutation successfully completes, and it has access to the response that comes back. We'll log the response to the browser console.
const [incrementTrackViews] = useMutation(INCREMENT_TRACK_VIEWS, { variables: {incrementTrackViewsId: id}, // to observe what the mutation response returns onCompleted: data => { console.log(data); }});
Our client app is ready to send off this mutation to the server! Let's see the results of our journey in the last lesson!
Code Challenge!
ASSIGN_SPACESHIP_MUTATION
mutation to the server. It takes 2 variables: spaceshipId
and missionId
. Destructure the mutate function (call it assignSpaceship
), as well as the loading
, error
and data
properties from the return array of the hook. | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part4/the-usemutation-hook | 2022-04-01T00:58:50Z |

Overnight Defense & National Security: Attack on Ukraine nuclear plant rattles Washington
It’s Friday! Welcome to Overnight Defense & National Security, your nightly guide to the latest developments at the Pentagon, on Capitol Hill and beyond. Subscribe here: thehill.com/newsletter-signup.
An attack on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine rattled Washington on Friday as Russia’s invasion of its neighboring country intensifies.
We’ll break down what happened, plus Senate Republicans threatening to hold up a government-funding measure over vaccine mandates for military personnel, medical workers and federal employees.
For The Hill, I’m Jordan Williams. Write to me with tips at jwilliams@thehill.com.
Let’s get to it!
Attack on Ukraine nuclear plant shakes US
Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest such plant in Europe, was attacked early Friday morning, sparking new concerns about Russia’s already worsening invasion.
The plant, located in the city of Enerhoder, was shelled by Russian troops, and a fire broke out. The Kremlin later claimed that it took control of the site.
‘Reckless and dangerous:’ U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield condemned the attack on the power plant as “reckless and dangerous,” and called for Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops from the plant and cease his military attack on Ukraine.
“Russia’s attack last night put Europe’s largest nuclear power plant at grave risk. It was incredibly reckless and dangerous. And it threatened the safety of civilians across Russia, Ukraine and Europe,” Thomas-Greenfield said during an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting Friday. “Nuclear facilities cannot become part of this conflict.”
No radiation released: Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the attack did not result in any radiation being released into the air.
The attack did not hit a nuclear reactor, but a training center in the facility, which accounts for about a quarter of the power generated in Ukraine.
Russia’s intentions: A senior U.S. official told reporters on Friday that the U.S. was “deeply concerned” about Russia’s near term “intentions” after the attack on the Zaporizhzhia plant.
“We are in no position to refute claims that they are in control of the nuclear power plant. But we don’t know exactly right now what that control means and what it looks like,” the official told reporters.
“That’s one of the things that deeply concerns us … we don’t know what expertise they have, what they’ve applied to this, what their intentions are in the near term.”
Harris headed to Poland, Romania
Vice President Harris will travel to Romania and Poland next week as Ukraine faces a massive invasion by Russia, sources tell The Hill’s Amie Parnes.
Harris will leave for the region on Wednesday, the sources say, and will return two days later.
The Hill reported on Thursday that the White House was actively discussing sending Harris to the area to visit troops stationed in Romania and to the border, where a refugee crisis has seen more than 1 million people flee the country since the Russian invasion.
The vice president’s office declined to comment on Harris’s travel plans. But a White House official told The Hill that Harris has been “deeply involved in the administration’s engagement with allies and partners.”
Harris, who recently returned from the Munich Security Conference, spoke this week to the prime ministers of Poland and Romania as well as other leaders from European allies to discuss the response to Russia’s invasion. An official said those talks were meant “to underscore the strength and unity of our alliance.”
“You can expect the vice president will continue to engage with allies and partners on these issues,” the official said.

Republicans threaten to block funding bill 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 Mar. 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.
The demands: “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,” the GOP lawmakers wrote in the letter. “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 senators led by Lee 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.
OTHER REPUBLICANS WEIGH IN
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,” the lawmakers wrote.
They added 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.

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — One officer was killed and two others were shot Thursday in Pennsylvania while responding to a domestic disturbance call, Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello said.
Police officers went to a home in the city at about 3:30 p.m. for the disturbance call when gunfire broke out and officers radioed in they were hit, Capello said at a brief news conference.
All three officers were taken to hospitals. One of them has been pronounced dead. A second is in critical condition, but is stable, and a third was in stable condition, Capello said.
The suspect, a 34-year-old man, was killed in the shooting, Lebanon Police Chief Todd Breiner said.
The slain officer's name is being withheld pending notification of extended family members.
Police did not release further details. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/1-officer-killed-2-others-shot-in-Pennsylvania-17049870.php | 2022-04-01T00:58:51Z |
It’s a little disappointing.
We’ve not had any sort of public celebration to commemorate getting past the worst of COVID-19. It seems like there should be banners and bandstands. Dance parties. Boring speeches from government officials.
But even though we’re slowly and cautiously coming back to life, it’s not life as we knew it. It’s more tentative.
And that’s appropriate. We never really beat COVID, we’ve just pushed it back. For now.
It’s also hard to celebrate after COVID took so many lives — almost 800 in Forsyth County, more than 23,000 in North Carolina, almost 1 million in the U.S. and more than 6 million worldwide.
There were also far too many dissenters investing in misinformation and conspiracy theories for us to declare victory. There still are: People who believe, despite all rational evidence from reliable and accountable sources, that a pandemic was made up to “control” the American people — talk about self-centered — that the number of infections was exaggerated, that doctors were paid to inflate the death count (as if the profession proliferated with people who cared more about money than their patients, or honesty), that vaccines were killing as many people as they were saving.
People are also reading…
Some believed this irrational raft of paranoid gibberish because they were told so by a man who later touted the great accomplishment of the life-saving vaccines produced on his watch. For some similarly irrational reason, their trust in him faltered at that point.
They never seemed to consider the motivations or credibility of the fraudulent people who told them that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, dozens of medical institutions with solid credentials and reputations, infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, and their own doctors and nurses were all conspiring against them. They never seemed to consider the dead and dying, many of whom they knew personally. Somehow, the testimony of anonymous social media posters or people previously caught in lies and political machinations were to be believed. This is the day for them.
At the beginning of the year, Duke University began a serious study of ivermectin — which the Food and Drug Administration previously said should never be used to treat or prevent COVID-19, a policy that too many ignored — along with two other potential COVID-19 treatments. We eagerly await the results of the study, which has not yet been completed.
But another study has been. A peer review study of more than 1,350 COVID patients treated with the drug was published earlier this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. It concluded that ivermectin has no effect whatsoever on COVID.
“Treatment with ivermectin did not result in a lower incidence of medical admission to a hospital due to progression of COVID-19 or of prolonged emergency department observation among outpatients with an early diagnosis of COVID-19,” researchers reported.
“Unfortunately, the promotion of ivermectin, when other effective therapies were available, has likely resulted in the deaths of many Americans,” David Boulware, a University of Minnesota epidemiologist and co-author of the report, said.
How much worse than dying of COVID is dying of preventable ignorance?
In Winston-Salem, the rules for wearing masks came to an end today, a concession to the waning of the threat. Some will continue wearing them, because they’re immunocompromised or have other medical conditions or just to be on the safe side — or because they want to support others who feel the need. They deserve our respect and support.
Don’t be a jerk to them.
An additional four COVID-related deaths and 115 new cases over the past week were reported in Forsyth County Thursday by the Journal’s Richard Craver.
Another vaccine booster has been approved for people age 50 and older and for people 12 and older who have severely weakened immune systems. President Biden received his dose on national TV earlier this week. Gov. Roy Cooper is urging our state’s congressional delegation to acquire additional federal relief funding, anticipating a possible rebound for which we should be prepared.
Other effects linger: Economic challenges. Emotional stress. Some may have forgotten how to behave around other people — with courtesy and patience.
Everyone take a deep breath.
It’s not over.
But with caution, we’re stepping out. | https://journalnow.com/opinion/editorial/our-view-the-end-of-covid/article_1e9c39a2-b10b-11ec-8c67-5b95ed7e3675.html | 2022-04-01T00:58:51Z |

Bella Hadid: supermodel, businesswoman, and now … comedy star?
Hadid will make her acting debut on the third season of Hulu's critically acclaimed comedy Ramy. The supermodel will have a recurring role on the series.
Ramy stars Ramy Youssef, playing a version of himself, as an American Muslim attempting to navigate life, religion, family and career in his New Jersey neighborhood. In 2020, Youssef won a Golden Globe for his performance and the show was nominated for three Emmys.
According to the streamer, the third season will find Ramy's family "forced to confront having lived a life dedicated to worldly concerns—and in some cases, lies—while Ramy all but abandons his spiritual journey, instead dedicating himself to him and his uncle's diamond business."
No premiere date has been set.
While the show represents her scripted series debut, Hadid is no stranger to being in front of the camera. She appeared in multiple episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when her mother Yolanda Hadid—and her glass refrigerator—was a regular cast member from 2012-2016.
Her reality TV credits also include episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and her mother's reality show Making A Model with Yolanda Hadid. She also appeared in the 2015 music video for ex-boyfriend The Weeknd's "In The Night."
Hadid covers the April cover of Vogue, where she opened up about her plastic surgery.
"I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors," she said. "I think I would have grown into it."
She also talked about the difficulty she often has in accepting her success.
"I've had this impostor syndrome where people made me feel like I didn't deserve any of this" she revealed. "People always have something to say, but what I have to say is, I've always been misunderstood in my industry and by the people around me."
While we wait to see what Hadid brings to Ramy, we're suddenly feeling inspired to thrown on some old school RHOBH. | https://www.eonline.com/news/1325467/bella-hadid-is-making-her-acting-debut-everything-to-know-about-her-first-tv-role?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-04-01T00:58:52Z |
Meat industry leader Paul Troja among victims of Mount Disappointment helicopter crash
One of the five people killed in a helicopter crash at Mount Disappointment has been remembered as a "passionate" leader of the meat industry, as investigators continue to investigate the cause of the tragedy.
Key points:
- Paul Troja's employer, Radford Meats, said it was a "tragic time" for the company
- Mr Troja was flying with a major client to inspect a property before his death
- The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is at the scene investigating the crash
Paul Troja was chairman of Radford Meats, which operated an abattoir in Warragul, south-east of Melbourne.
Two helicopters which were part of a private charter were flying north from Melbourne's CBD over Mount Disappointment on Thursday when one disappeared just after 9am.
Police said the five occupants of the plane, all of whom died, were a Cheltenham man aged 32, an Inverloch woman aged 50, an Albert Park man aged 73 and two men from New South Wales aged 59 and 70.
Mr Troja was flying with a major client and their working group to inspect a property, the company told the ABC.
Chief executive Paul Scanlon told the Victorian Country Hour that Mr Troja had had a long and distinguished career in the meat industry and his death had hit the company hard.
"It's a tragic time for us here at Radfords," he said.
"Our thoughts are with his wife Ann, his children and his grandchildren and the members of his extended family and friends and also the family and friends of the other people caught up in this accident," Mr Scanlon said.
Mr Scanlon said Mr Troja, who previously worked for Meat and Livestock Australia, had served Radfords Meats with distinction and was a close personal friend of the owner, Robert Radford.
"He played an integral role in us obtaining our tier one export licence and expansion into international markets so that's who he was," he said.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating the crash with the assistance of police.
The second helicopter landed safely at the nearby Mangalore Airport not long after the first helicopter went missing. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-01/victim-helicopter-crash-mount-disappointment-identified/100958098 | 2022-04-01T00:58:52Z |

Creating the best vape pen for dabs didn’t happen overnight. It started with a deep passion for #cannabis, 7 years of experience in the industry, and a lot of hard work to bring the finest, most flavour-oriented, and thoughtfully crafted portable dab pen to your hands.
HOW WE GOT HERE.
In 2013, after finishing his studies in London, our founder Vince embarked on an unscripted adventure inspired by his profound belief in the power of #cannabis and the emerging e-cigarettes trend. This led him to be a pioneer in the Canadian emerging community of vape enthusiasts and to create the world’s most flavour truthful (patent pendant), best handheld cannabis vaporizer.
TRANSFORMING #CANNABISCOMMUNITY
Each StoneSmiths product is crafted with the outmost precision and care by our passionate team of designers and engineers. All of them, masters of #cannabis and devoted supporters of hemp's contributions to humankind.
As active members of the #cannabiscommunity, we believe it’s one of the earth’s most valuable resources and we want to make sure its benefits and healing properties reach the most vulnerable. This principle inspired us to team up with an Tokeativity, an organization supporting women worldwide. Year after year we are committed to uphold the Global Feminist Community for Active Cannabis Culture that believes in cannabis normalization, equity and empowerment of a modern consumption culture.

📺 numberOfViews++
How are we going to update the number of views for a track? To discover that, let's visit our REST API documentation!
First let's observe the response we get when executing the GET track/:id
endpoint with the ID c_0
. With a successful response, we receive the track and we can see the current number of views. The number you see will depend on how many other people have completed this course recently!
To increment the number of views, we'll look at the PATCH track/:id/numberOfViews
endpoint, which updates the number of views for a track.
Let's try out this endpoint and give it the same track ID c_0
. When we execute this call, we get a 200 successful
response and the modified track back. We can see that the number of views increased! If we run it again, we can see that the number increases again.
Note that because the API is public, you might not see the number of views go up exactly by 1. Other people might be playing around with the API like we're doing right now. But we know that from the 200
response code that we were able to increase this number.
Task!
If we scroll down, we can also see that there is a possibility of an unsuccessful response. Let's test this out by providing a silly ID we're sure won't exist, like DOESNTEXIST
.
When we execute this call, we get the expected response of 404 Error: Not Found
. We'll take a look at how to handle this later on.
📈 Updating the data source
Now that we know which endpoint to call and how, let's add a new method to our data source!
Remember our old friend RESTDataSource
from Lift-off II? We used it to create our own TrackAPI
.
Why do we use a separate RESTDataSource
class to handle data retrieval?
We can find the TrackAPI
data source in the server/src/datasources
folder, in the track-api.js
file.
In this file, we'll add a new method to our TrackAPI
class called incrementTrackViews
.
incrementTrackViews(trackId) { return this.patch(`track/${trackId}/numberOfViews`);}
This method takes in a trackId
parameter. Inside, we need to make an HTTP PATCH
request, which we can do by callingthis.patch
. This method is provided to us by the RESTDataSource
class we inherited from.
Inside the parentheses, we give it the endpoint, which is track/
, followed by the trackId
, followed by /numberOfViews
. Finally, we return the result of the call.
This data source is now prepared to make the REST API call that the resolver needs. Let's set that up next! | https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part4/updating-our-trackapi-data-source | 2022-04-01T00:58:56Z |
HOUSTON, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ruby Pipeline, L.L.C. (Ruby), a natural gas pipeline joint venture between Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI) and Pembina Pipeline Corporation (NYSE: PBA) that extends from Wyoming to Oregon, filed to reorganize under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in response to an upcoming debt repayment obligation. In recent months, the joint venture owners have been working diligently with Ruby's bondholders in an effort to work out a mutually satisfactory resolution. While those efforts will continue, Ruby's current financial condition necessitates this filing.
KMI will continue to operate the pipeline as chapter 11 permits daily operations to continue. Ruby's customers should notice no difference in its operations.
We will continue to keep Ruby's customers and other stakeholders informed of developments relating to Ruby's reorganization process. The voluntary petition was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington. The case number is 22-10278. Additional information regarding Ruby's petition and claim procedures is available through the following website: https://cases.primeclerk.com/rubypipeline.
