Heartland Group Holdings has reached a conditional agreement to buy an Australian stock financing business for A$143 million ($154.4m) plus a potential top-up of A$11m if the new business meets certain performance metrics. The NZX-listed company which also owns Heartland Bank and a transtasman reverse mortgage business, said it had signed documentation to acquire StockCo Holdings 2 Pty from its shareholders StockCo Australia Holdings (70 per cent shareholder) and Elders Rural Service Australia (30 per cent). The deal also includes Heartland acquiring all the shares in StockCo Australian Management Pty which together with StockCo Holdings 2 Pty make up a business called StockCo Australia. StockCo Australia specialises in livestock finance for cattle and sheep farmers in Australia and has total assets of A$341m in a market estimated to be worth A$7 billion. Advertisement Advertise with NZME.In a statement, Heartland said the acquisition would extend its "best or only" strategy in Australia adding to its existing A$1.2 billion Australian reverse mortgage business. The transaction is expected to add A$10-$12m in net profit to Heartland's bottom line on an annual basis before the cost of debt funding needed for the acquisition was taken into account. Heartland Group made $87m in its 2020 financial year. The acquisition is subject to Heartland getting a new operational funding facility as well as other conditions it did not name. "Heartland's intention is to fund the total acquisition cost in the short term through new debt facilities provided by a major Australasian financial institution." The deal also includes Elders continuing as a distribution partner for the finance products to its clients for an initial five-year term. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of May. Heartland said given the timing of the acquisition there would be no change to its market guidance for its June 30 financial year.

It is time to make the FAFSA part of the 1040 This month six states announced that they are considering joining a small but growing group of states that make it mandatory for graduating high school students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Mandating students complete the application, the thinking goes, would boost college enrollment in part by boosting perceptions of affordability. Helping make college more affordable for more people is important, but a state-based approach is a bad one. Targeting high school students ignores that the majority of college students on campus today are not the straight-from-high-school crowd. It also makes the benefit dependent on the luck of living in a state that actually requires it. Instead of leaving completion to the whims of different states, a much better way to guarantee more students complete the FAFSA is to just fold into another federal form that practically every single American already has to fill out annually: their tax return. Students and families thinking about college could check a box on whatever version of the 1040 they file and trigger a FAFSA worksheet that would automatically get transferred by the Treasury Department to the Education Department. There are a host of good reasons for doing this. For one, it maximizes accessibility. Tying it to a federal form an overwhelming majority do anyway ensures that no prospective student in any state gets left out. It also ensures that the adult and returning students, again the majority of enrollments today, benefit as well. A FAFSA integrated into the 1040 also greatly reduces completion friction. Completing it as part of doing one’s taxes means not having to go search for all of that information six or possibly nine months later. Actually filling it out would get easier too thanks to it naturally being incorporated into the consumer-friendly interfaces that most tax preparation software utilize. Some of the biggest upside though would be in the non-federal aid it would help prospective students draw. Most states use the FAFSA to distribute their own grant awards, but some states simply turn their aid programs on in October and leave them open until funds are gone or they set application deadlines. That ends up being a recipe for disaster to low-income and adult students who are more likely today to fill out the FAFSA after state dollars and deadlines have passed. A FAFSA completed when taxes are filed would ensure that no prospective student ever again misses out on state grant aid. No system is perfect of course. Not everyone has to file taxes, though these individuals could get an equivalent standalone electronic form to complete at the same time. Those who file for up to a 6-month extension could use this same form or wait until filing, but even these filers would still have their form completed by October of the same year, putting them amongst the earliest FAFSA filers today. Concerns that the costs of tax software or preparation services would take the “free” of out the FAFSA would be handled just as it is today, through free tax prep software and free preparation services for people filing the simplest forms. None of these issues are insurmountable and the worst-case scenario would still be better than the current system just by making the form available months earlier than it already is. Having tax day focus on paying for college would set the stage for private scholarship providers and even states themselves to align their applications and processes into a singular national financial aid day. The upside, tens of millions more students and parents knowing more sooner about the kinds of federal and state financial aid options available to them, would go a long way towards limiting the financing friction contributing to today’s college completion crisis.

From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the outburst of Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai and Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, over the security situation in the country, confirms that the Federal Government is refusing to take actions against the terrorists ravaging the country. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, yesterday, it alleged that the APC-led Federal Government had conceded sovereignty of part of Nigeria to terrorists. The opposition party said comments of the two government officials, validates its claims that the government knew the whereabouts of the terrorists. “The fact that the Buhari-led government atrociously refused to act despite having full intelligence on the whereabouts as well as the plans of the terrorists confirms grave complicity and conspiracy against our nation at the very top level of the APC government’s security command and control coordination structure. It also confirms that the APC government has conceded sovereignty over a part of our country to terrorists who, as a former APC leader confessed, were brought from neighbouring countries by the APC as “political mercenaries” to rig the 2019 general elections. That informs why the APC is deliberately suppressing information and exposing our brave and gallant armed forces to harm’s way while watching innocent Nigerians perish in the hands of terrorists.”

Healy hits century as Australia power into World Cup final Wednesday, March 30, 2022WELLINGTON,�New Zealand�(AFP) — A double-century opening stand carried tournament favourites Australia to a commanding 157-run win over the�West�Indies�on Wednesday and a place in the Women's World Cup final. Australia dominated their rain-shortened semi-final in Wellington from the outset, built around a 216-run stand — the highest of the tournament — between experienced openers Alyssa Healy and Rachael Haynes. An imposing score of 305 for three off a reduced 45 overs was never threatened by the�West�Indies, who succumbed for 148 in the 37th over. The six-time champions Australia are unbeaten at the 50-over tournament and will face either South Africa or 2017 winners England in the final in Christchurch on Sunday. Play started nearly two hours late because of misty rain and Healy, in particular, struggled for timing in the early stages after Australia were sent in on a damp Basin Reserve pitch. She accelerated as the sun came out, posting 129 off 107 balls to register a fourth one-day international century and fell four runs short of her career-best score. The wicketkeeper-batter used her feet to excellent effect against the spin-based Caribbean attack, smashing 17 fours and a six. She didn't hit a boundary until the 12th over but said Haynes had reminded her to remain patient. "I hope I've learned my lesson by now, that it doesn't necessarily have to happen all at once," Healy said. "I love batting with Rach, she's a calming influence." Haynes compiled 85 off 100 balls while the late runs came via unbeaten knocks from captain Meg Lanning (26) and Beth Mooney (43). It was a disappointing performance from the sixth-ranked�West�Indies, who were loose in the field, dropping a handful of chances, and they struggled for momentum with the bat. Captain Stefanie Taylor was their top scorer with a careful 48, but she lacked support after top-order pair Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews both departed for 34. Their hopes weren't helped by injuries suffered in the field to bowlers Chinelle Henry and Anisa Mohammed, with neither able to bat, meaning Australia needed to take only eight wickets. Taylor said her players felt like they were on the back foot from the outset as Healy and Haynes established themselves. "A partnership like that deflates the team and, the pressure they applied, we couldn't get over that," she said.� "When you looked up, they were 100 without loss and all the dropped catches didn't help us." Lanning was relaxed that her team weren't pushed to the limit. "I've been involved in some very stressful semi-finals in the past and we came in expecting a very difficult game," she said. "The�West�Indies�bowled well at the front and put us under pressure but it was a good game plan we had, to build a good base." The second semi-final pits defending champions England against second-ranked South Africa in Christchurch on Thursday, a repeat of the 2017 last-four thriller that was decided in the final over.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said Thursday that the Justice Department has closed without criminal charges an investigation into political fundraising activity at his former business. “As I said from the beginning and have maintained throughout this process, I was confident that after a thorough review the Justice Department would find all of my activities to be lawful,” DeJoy said in a statement provided to The Associated Press. “I have always adhered to the law in my personal and professional life.” He added that he was “not surprised” that the department had concluded its investigation and that he was “pleased that this episode is over.” A Justice Department spokesman did not immediately return a message seeking comment. But it is standard practice for department officials to reveal to defense lawyers that their investigations have concluded without charges rather than make that announcement themselves. A DeJoy spokesman said DeJoy’s lawyer had received that notification from the department. DeJoy, a wealthy former logistics executive who was appointed postmaster general in 2020 by then-President Donald Trump and remains in the position in the Biden administration, confirmed the existence of a Justice Department investigation last June when his spokesman said investigators were examining campaign contributions made by employees who worked for him when he was in the private sector.

ABILENE, Texas (BigCountryHomepage.com) – As Women’s History Month wraps up, there are still a few women who made history right here in Abilene to be celebrated. From women’s suffrage and reproductive rights, all the way to breaking boundaries as first of their kinds to hold a certain coveted position… Abilene women have paved the way for those who may come next. Here are some of our most influential history-makers: This list is in alphabetical order Dorothy Drones With more than 50 years of community involvement, the name “Dorothy Drones” has become a household name across the Big Country. Drones made Abilene history in October 2021, when she officially became the first woman of color to hold the title President at the Abilene Woman’s Club (AWC). This Abilene philanthropist told Big Country Homepage she looks at her presidency for the AWC as progress. Drones said her theme for the 2021-2022 year as president for the AWC: Continuing to move forward together. “We’ve come a long way, but the journey isn’t over,” Drones said about diversity in the AWC. Drones’ resume is a long and honorable one. She began working at West Texas Medical Center in 1969, which eventually became Abilene Regional Medical Center, and was later merged and renamed “Hendrick Medical Center South.” Drones retired in 2019, after more than 49 years of service to the hospital. She continues to serve on multiple boards and committees across the City of Abilene, and even developed a scholarship program in 2006, for students entering college. She was also recently presented with the Odis Dolton Good Neighbor Award, by Mayor Anthony Williams in his State of the City address. Originally from Sedalia, Missouri, Drones was instilled with pride in her work at a very early age. She said her grandparents, who raised her, made sure of this and continue to inspire her to today. “[My grandparents] inspired me to believe in myself, to work hard, be committed, be dedicated to whatever… They told me, ‘whatever job you have, do the very best that you can.'” The Abilene Woman’s Club hosts luncheons every first and third Friday of the month.

Patsy Powell Duncan A true pioneer for women in education, Patsy Powell Duncan was the first woman to ever hold the title of Vice President at Abilene Christian University (ACU). Duncan was born in Archer City, Texas, about two hours north of Abilene. Her obituary detailed her graduating with honors from Childress High School in 1942, where she would later teach. From there, Duncan made her way to Abilene and ACU, earning a degree in Dramatic Arts in 1946. Then, a Master’s degree in Education from West Texas State University in 1955. According to an ACU Remembers article, which lovingly referred to the dedicated educator as ‘effervescent,’ Duncan joined the university after an impressive teaching career within Amarillo ISD in 1985, as an estate planning counselor. In 1988, she became Vice President of Development. Duncan retired in 1995. Along with serving ACU, Duncan held offices in numerous organizations, including the Abilene Woman’s Club and Women for ACU. After retiring, Duncan eventually made her way back to Amarillo. She passed away days before her 85th birthday in 2010. Duncan’s legacy in Abilene will continue to live on, and even inspired many other women who followed in her footsteps. Dr. Sandra Harper Much like the legacy of Vice President Duncan, Dr. Sandra Harper was the first woman to serve full time as President of an Abilene university. That university being McMurry. According to her McMurry University profile, President Dr. Harper made Abilene history in 2013. Before that, she was president at a Louisiana college, Vice President at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi between 1998 and 2006, and other great academic offices. Dr. Harper was familiar with the Big Country before beginning her presidency. Between 1985 and 1995, she worked in the communication and theatre department at McMurry University. “It feels great to be coming back to McMurry and the Abilene community,” said Dr. Harper in her 2013 McMurry News welcome newsletter. “It is exhilarating to see faculty colleagues, former students who have become successful alumni, and staff members loyal to this institution. All of these things make for an extremely exciting opportunity.” Since returning to Abilene almost nine years ago, Dr. Harper has served on multiple boards and organizations- including Abilene’s Chamber of Commerce, Historic Paramount Theater Board of Directors and more. Rev. Felicia Hopkins In connection to Abilene’s historic St. Paul United Methodist Church, Reverend Felicia Hopkins made history within the church twice over in 2013. Not only was Rev. Hopkins the first woman to be named a senior pastor, but she was also the first woman of color to lead the church, according to a Spirit of Abilene article. For six years, this reverend’s preaching style was one to be seen at St. Paul’s. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Rev. Hopkins made her way to Abilene in 2013, after several other stops around the south, and left in 2019 to pursue her station as Superintendent of the Amarillo District of the Northwest Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church (NWTX of UMC Amarillo). When George Price, Superintendent of the Abilene District, retired in 2021, the post was offered to Rev. Hopkins. Rev. Hopkins also had impressive careers in the military as well as the corporate world. As a soldier, Hopkins worked as a trauma chaplain and ministered to thousands in Germany, during Operation Iraqi Freedom. As Superintendent of the Abilene District of the Northwest Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, Hopkins oversees churches across Abilene belonging to the United Methodist Church. The Northwest Texas Annual Conference 2022 will be held June 16 in Lubbock at the Overton Hotel. Click here to learn more and register. Laura Jewel Davis Scarborough It’s easy to get swept away by all the pioneer work of our trail-blazing women of today, but one true Abilene pioneer could not be left out. Laura Jewel Davis Scarborough is known as an Abilene civic leader, as well as Abilene’s Mother of Recreation. For reference, Abilene was established in March of 1881. Born in Pittsburg, Texas in 1887, just 75 miles east of Texarkana, Scarborough (née Davis) put education above all else. She achieved her first Bachelor’s degrees from Wesleyan College at 17, and her second from the University of Texas at 20 years old- the youngest in her class. After her time at UT Austin, the young woman moved to Abilene in 1907. A year later, she married local attorney, 26-year-old Dallas Scarborough. He would later be called “Mayor Scarborough,” between 1919 and 1923. Alongside her husband, she raised two sons who also went on to practice law in the Big Country, according to the Texas State Historical Association. Educated and headstrong, Scarborough was called a prime mover in forming the Taylor County chapter of the Equal Suffrage Association, the Abilene Young Women’s Christian Association and several more. At the age of 33, Scarborough was allowed to vote for the first time ever. Two years later in 1922, she got to be a delegate to the National Democratic Convention. In addition to her accomplishments for Abilene, Scarborough was also the first woman to be elected as County Party Chairman. Come 1935, Scarborough created a supervised play program for children. Scarborough wrote a four-volume family history in 1951, called Southern Kith and Kin: A Record of My Children’s Ancestors. What was then known as McMurry College gave Scarborough an honorary doctor of humane letters degree, and housed the Scarborough Genealogical Library in 1964. Abilene’s first park was established in 1956, through the help of the Scarboroughs. It was originally named the Hartford Park, but was renamed for Dallas later on, according to History of Abilene, Texas Parks. Now, Scarborough Park is a family favorite, complete with a splash pad. Abilene’s Mother of Recreation was dubbed as such in 1961, by the National Recreation Association. Laura Jewel Davis Scarborough passed away in the Fall of 1968, at the age of 81. Her work and memory lives on in the heart of Abilene, as many other women take from her example. Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs) of West Texas Even though this is actually a collection of women from outside of Abilene, they are all highly important to the history of women in the Big Country, as well as the United States of America. Sweetwater was home to the first all-female military flight-training base in American history, beginning its program in the Summer of 1942. Two programs, Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron and Women’s Flying Training Detachment, were founded by Nancy Love and Jacqueline Cochran. According to the National Women Air Force Service Pilots World War II Museum, the program began after Pearl Harbor was attacked and trained male pilots were difficult to come by. Between the Winters of 1942 and 1944, more than 1,100 women, between the ages of 18 and 35, were trained in Houston, then moved to Avenger Field in Sweetwater. There, these WASPs flew every aircraft the Army had, towed gunnery targets, transported equipment and people, and even tested the recently repaired aircrafts before men flew them. WASPs never formally entered the United States Army Air Force, according to the National Museum of the United States Air Force, due to political pressure. The organization was disbanded December 1944 after only two years of operation. The women were denied benefits. Under President Jimmy Carter, WASPs were granted veterans’ status in 1977. That’s when the women who flew, alongside the men, were seen to be just as important to the war effort. The National WASP WWII Museum in Sweetwater was created in 2002 by WASP Deanie Bishop Parrish and her daughter, Nancy. Through ups and downs, the museum continued to grow. In 2020, the museum closed to make modifications and reopened in May 2021. For Veteran’s Day 2021, Sweetwater’s WASP museum marked the day by honoring Florence “Shutsy” Reynolds, one of the pilots in the program. According to a Texas Hill Country article, 33 WASPs were still alive in 2019- three of whom attended the museum’s homecoming celebration for Memorial Day. Sweetwater’s WASP museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., located at 210 Avenger Field Road in Sweetwater. Click here to learn more. Sarah Weddington The name Sarah Weddington is one known by most law students. Weddington, at 26 years old, argued and won the landmark Roe v. Wade case, fighting for a woman’s right to legal abortion. Weddington was born and raised in Abilene by well-respected minister, Herbert Ragle. She graduated from McMurry University at the young age of 19 in 1964, before attending University of Texas Law School in Austin. Big Country Homepage spoke with Weddington’s friend and mentee, Susan Hays, about Weddington’s legacy. “She was so much a proper, Methodist preacher’s daughter. Y’know, she was very formal in how she carried herself.” Just a couple of years after graduation, Weddington and her classmate Linda Coffee filed Roe v. Wade in 1970 to defend 22-year-old Norma McCorvey, better known as Jane Roe, who wanted to legally and safely terminate her pregnancy. Her late ex-husband, James “Ron” Weddington, also a Big Country native, helped write their case. The case was argued before the high court in December 1971 and October 1972. Abortion was then legalized nationwide with a 7-2 ruling. By 27 years old, this Abilene woman made U.S. history. “I finished law school at the same age she was when she argued Roe,” Hays laughed. “My joke is always how she made me feel like a big loser- she was 27 when she did that!” While arguing for Roe v. Wade, Weddington also became the first woman elected to the Texas House of Representatives, according to her Britannica biography. She served three terms as state legislator. Breaking even more records for Women’s History, Weddington was also the first woman on general counsel for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1977 and ’78. After, she was made Special Assistant to President Jimmy Carter, where she chaired the Interdepartmental Task Force on Women between 1978 and 1981. Then, she made history for women again 1983 as the first woman to direct the Texas Office of State-Federal Relations. Beginning in 1981, Weddington lectured at Texas Woman’s University (which became a co-ed university in 1994) in Denton, until 1990. She was also an adjunct professor at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) from 1986 to 2012. Weddington passed in December 2021, after being in poor health for some time. A Brownwood native, Hays met Weddington in the late 1980’s, when she attended a class on Gender-based Discrimination Law, which Weddington taught at UT Austin. The two bonded over their strong ethics and ties to the Big Country. “Sarah was such a great mentor and connector of people,” Hays fondly said as she looked back on her friendship with Weddington. The example Weddington set for Hays was a great one. “That example of such classy professionalism, which I will never achieve- it’s just not my personality,” Hays laughed. “And also, how encouraging she was. She set a tone of, ‘you’re going to help each other…’ It was not unusual to have Sarah call me up and say, ‘I have a student who’s applying to law school, getting out of law school, looking for a job… And you’re going to help them. Here’s their number.’ That’s how she rolled, and there’s this whole network of ex-Sarah students.” Hays told Big Country Homepage she was unaware of how lucky she was to grow up at the time she did in the Big Country. Not only did she have ties with Weddington, but she also grew up with next-door neighbor, Mary Scott Nabers. Nabers would eventually go on to become Commissioner for Railroad Commission of Texas. Hays said she was also honored to have known Ann Richards, former Governor of Texas, and Molly Ivins, political columnist. “They all were just, y’know, ‘what good are you going to do in the world, kiddo?’ My expression for them is The Great Austin Matriarchy, because that’s what they were like!” Hays looked back on her longtime friend’s passing. She said she could have used her advice. “I so deeply hate that she died when she did. I had been in Austin… and tried to make time and go check on her… In part, because I had made this decision to run for office and was scrambling to set up a campaign. And, y’know, Sarah had worked in agriculture policy in the late ’70s, and was a U.S. D.A. So, I hate that I never had a chance to have that conversation with her about running. I never really asked her what did she work on as U.S. D.A., what did she think about that experience.” This friend lovingly referred to Weddington as an aggressive, positive, uplifter of people. Susan Hays is running for Texas Commissioner of Agriculture, after working on campaigns and helping others run for office for the last 30 years. She said frustration with current administration, and inspiration from her friend is what motivated her to run. “Having grown up in the Big Country, you grow up around agriculture. You see how government programs help people or hurt people,” Hays explained. “Having grown up when I did, it’s very clear to me that they can and should be helping people.” Hays advanced from the Democratic Primary at the beginning of March and has another election coming up in November, against current Commissioner, Sid Miller (R). Click here to learn more about her campaign. Hays left her conversation with Big Country Homepage with a strong message: “Women raised in West Texas are a lot tougher than others.” Alongside the seven women listed above, Abilene and the Big Country churned out other incredible women. Here some brief looks at just a few of many: Carolyn Beckham Carolyn Beckham was granted the 2022 Volunteer Service Award by United Way of Abilene in February, according to an article from the Abilene Reporter News. Beckham is a known community volunteer with the Abilene Education Foundation and serves on other boards in the community. In 2021, she helped the United Way raise more than $2 million. Carole Cook The legendary Carole Cook was born in Abilene in 1924 as Mildred Cook. According to her biography on Turner Classic Movies, Cook was given her stage name, Carole, by Lucille Ball when they worked closely together in the 1960s and ’70s. Cook was an active entertainer for many years. She is best known for her roles in Knight Rider and 16 Candles. She also guest starred in popular TV series like Grey’s Anatomy. Her last acting credit was Waiting in the Wings in 2018. Jessica Simpson Another Abilene-born star, Jessica Simpson released her first album at 19 years old. Some years later, Simpson branched out from music and into movies and TV, as well as fashion designing. The business woman even designed some shoes she calls Abilene boots. As well as her fashion line is doing, Simpson is best known for playing Daisy in The Dukes of Hazzard movie in 2005. Dian Graves Stai A woman of many firsts, Dian Graves Stai was the first woman to chair the Abilene Chamber of Commerce, first chairperson of the Texas Department of Commerce, among a few other firsts according to Texas Woman’s University. This McMurry University graduate did many important things for the Abilene community and she was named Outstanding Citizen of the Year in 1997 by the Abilene Chamber of Commerce. Most notably, Stai was inducted into the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame in 1996. There are many more incredible women from across the Big Country.

HELENA — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has given initial approval to a proposal to graze bison in north-central Montana. It’s the latest step in a process that started five years ago – and it’s likely not the end. American Prairie – a nonprofit formerly called American Prairie Reserve – proposed bison grazing on 63,065 acres of BLM land in Phillips County, south of Malta. The BLM’s proposed decision, issued Wednesday, would allow bison, behind fences, on six of the seven areas the organization proposed. “We are extremely pleased with this decision, which will enable us to exercise our grazing privileges to sustainably grow our conservation herd of bison, protect the health of the land, and create more outdoor opportunities for visitors to experience Montana’s prairie lands and wildlife,” said American Prairie vice president and chief external relations officer Pete Geddes in a statement. The decision would allow bison to graze seasonally in three locations and year-round in three others – including two that are already approved for bison. The seventh location would remain open only to cattle. American Prairie says they plan to increase their bison herd from around 800 animals to 1,000. BLM leaders said in a statement that their decision was justified by an analysis that showed the plan wouldn’t have a significant environmental impact. They also identified some potential benefits for wildlife habitat and vegetation, including the removal of some internal fencing and the different grazing patterns of bison allowing for more diversity. “Ultimately, the overall goals of any grazing decision are to ensure the health of BLM-administered public lands and implement the law,” said Theresa Hanley, the agency’s acting Montana/Dakotas state director. “This proposed grazing decision will help us continue to achieve those goals, providing for multiple-purpose use and enjoyment, now and in the future.” American Prairie first submitted a plan for bison grazing in 2017. They scaled it back significantly in 2019, saying they wanted to address public concerns and have more time to demonstrate how their grazing system works. The proposal has gotten a lot of attention from people in the area. Groups like the Montana Stockgrowers Association have raised concerns. “When we saw the decision, we were fairly disappointed with the decision,” said executive vice president Jay Bodner. Bodner questioned whether the BLM could lease land for grazing bison, saying that federal law specifically designates it for livestock and doesn’t include bison in that definition. He also said ranchers are worried about the impacts of having bison in close proximity to cattle, from possible interbreeding to injuries if the animals end up in the same pasture. “They are a different species than cattle, they’re going to graze differently, and so they’re going to have impacts on the rangeland differently,” Bodner said. “If you have less control over them, I think certainly rangeland health standards – are you going to be able to meet those? – that calls into question.” He said the Stockgrowers want to make sure the BLM did its due diligence in responding to the public’s concerns. “When you look at these kinds of pretty significant proposals that the American Prairie Reserve did propose, we really think that needs a full environmental impact statement,” he said. In the decision, the BLM said it did analyze and consider all the public comment. For example, they responded to the concerns about the federal definition of livestock by pointing to other rules that allow privately owned “indigenous animals” like bison to graze at regulators’ discretion. They said they have issued grazing permits for bison in other states, and previously for American Prairie. “We understand that not everyone agrees with allowing bison grazing on public lands, but the BLM’s decision makes it clear that our proposal is based on sound science and will benefit wildlife, the rangeland, and riparian areas,” Geddes said. A spokesperson for Gov. Greg Gianforte’s office said the state has started reviewing the BLM decision. “The governor shares Montanans' hope that BLM took submitted comments to heart and bolstered its analysis to reach a legal, well-reasoned decision,” the spokesperson said. A 15-day protest period is now open. The BLM will consider any protests they receive, then make a final decision. After that, there will be another 30 days during which the decision can be appealed. You can find full documentation on the decision on the BLM website.

A senior Whanganui Black Power member being sentenced for manslaughter was described as an oxygen thief by members of the victim's family at his hearing today. Wayne David Reardon appeared before Justice Francis Cooke in the High Court at Whanganui for the death of James Butler on April 22, 2018. Reardon, a senior patched member of the Black Power, had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter. Butler died from gunshot wounds after being shot at his home in Wikitoria Rd, Whanganui, during an altercation with a group of armed Black Power members who had travelled to his address in two vehicles to "tax" his drugs. Advertisement Advertise with NZME.His sister Trish, who appeared via AVL to read her victim impact statement, said Reardon had imposed a life sentence on the whānau. "You did not have the right to take his last breath from him. We will suffer the life sentence to the end of our days." Trish described the armed group who went to the house to steal drugs from Butler, who was a known dealer, as a bunch of "yellow-bellied gang members". Butler's daughter, who addressed the court with a photograph of her father, said she felt numb and devastated when she heard her father had been killed. "My whānau and I have been to hell and back," she said, crying. "I can't find it in my heart to forgive you." She described Reardon as a waste of space and oxygen. Justice Cooke said Reardon was a senior member of the gang who had taken a lead role in organising and directing the group during the attack. Advertisement Advertise with NZME.At least three firearms, two .22 rifles and a shotgun, had been taken to the house. The men, who wore balaclavas to cover their faces, forced their way into the house and a firearm was pointed at Butler before Reardon pushed him in the chest with the butt of the shotgun. Butler's brother Brent entered from another room and attempted to disarm one of the gang members. During the struggle for the gun two clicks were heard, indicating the firearm had failed to fire, Justice Cooke said. The gang members then retreated from the house with the Butler brothers in pursuit. Butler was swinging a mallet at the front passenger in one of the cars, and Brent was knocked unconscious by another from the group. Advertisement Advertise with NZME.Shots were then fired from one of the .22 rifles, Justice Cooke said. "He [Butler] ran, holding his neck and coughing up blood." Justice Cooke said he adopted a starting point of 10 years' imprisonment for Reardon, whose offending was motivated by alcohol and drug abuse. After allowing a 35 per cent reduction for Reardon's guilty plea and cultural report, he arrived at a sentence of imprisonment of six years' and six months'. However, Reardon was already subject to the three strikes legislation, meaning he had to serve any sentence imposed without the possibility of parole. As Reardon was already serving a four-and-a-half-year sentence for an aggravated robbery, committed five days after Butler was shot and killed, Justice Cooke further reduced his sentence to five years' imprisonment. Advertisement Advertise with NZME.The five-year sentence is cumulative on the four and a half years' Reardon is already serving. Three Black Power members, Dwayne Anson Tewhenua Fore, Kemp Rangitahae Rippon and Daniel Shane Whareaorere, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to jail by Justice Cooke in September 2020. Justice Cooke suppressed all details of the hearing including the sentences and suppressed his reasons for suppressing the information. The trio had gone on trial for murder in March but it was abandoned because of Covid-19. They later pleaded guilty to manslaughter after getting sentencing indications to the lesser charge. In March 2020, Mark Robert Audain pleaded guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Bruce Willis has secretly struggled for years to keep making movies while experiencing symptoms of aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate. While filming 2020’s movie “Hard Kill,”According to the Los Angeles Times: Willis, who was carrying blanks in a gun, fired twice at actors. Because he knew his career was ending and wanted to provide for his family, the beloved action star at 67 years old made 22 movies with low budget budgets in the last four years. One clip from the movie “American Siege,”You can see the device in his ear that was used to feed him his lines. The film “Out of Death,” Willis’ scenes were compressed into a single day of shooting. His dialogue was also preserved “short and sweet.” Director Mike Burns told the writers, “We need to abbreviate his dialogue a bit so that there are no monologues.” “I could see that there were times where it was difficult for him to get through something. And there were times where I felt like maybe he had a little bit lost the thread. We would see him getting tired and not able to perform at the levels we were used to,” Burns said. Interview with the film’s director “Glass,”His speech was deliberate, slow, and low. Bruce Willis’ declining memory became a concern to his coworkers. The set of the movie “The Last Stand”. “White Elephant,”He reportedly got so confused that he asked his cast and crew for help. “I know why you’re here, but why am I here?” “Aphasia can be caused by previous stunts, something that happened 20 years ago. It can be caused by something more acute — infection, dementia or a tumor,” neuropsychologist Dr. Sanam Hafaez told Inside Edition. Willis is being cared for by his blended family — his wife Emma, ex-wife Demi Moore and his five daughters. They announced Wednesday that he is stepping away from his acting career after the aphasia diagnosis.

Officials break ground on new exhibition BLYTHEVILLE, Ark. (KAIT) - City, county, and state officials gathered to commemorate the groundbreaking ceremony of the Alert Pad Exhibition for the National Cold War Museum. The exhibition will tell the stories of those who had to stay ready and alert on a regular basis because they knew the Klaxon would go off at any moment. Sergeant Chuck Charles, a Kansas man who served on the then-Blytheville Air Force Base, said visiting the airbase for the first time in 45 years was a sentimental moment. “What’s being done to this building right here thrills my soul,” Charles said as he pointed at the Alert Pad. Charles mentioned he was on base from 1973 until 1977, saying his favorite part was “the camaraderie” among the men he was serving the country with. “We would play cards all night,” he said. National Cold War Center Co-Chairman Barrett Harrison said there could not have been any better way to honor those who served in Blytheville while displaying the town’s significance in the Cold War. “Those guys served on ready alert,” Harrison said. “If the Klaxons went off, what it really meant to them was probably the end of the world.” Harrison added the Cold War Center will also bring more people to visit Northeast Arkansas, estimating “50,000 a year” by the second year the exhibition opens. There is not an exact date on when the construction of the exhibit is expected to be completed. Copyright 2022 KAIT. All rights reserved.

DENVER (AP) — A man who shot and wounded two demonstrators while apparently aiming at a Jeep that was headed toward the crowd during a protest in suburban Denver in 2020 was convicted Thursday of several charges. Samuel Young, 24, was found guilty of two counts of second-degree assault, four counts of attempted manslaughter and a single count of illegally discharging his gun, The Denver Post reported. Several hundred people who attended the July 2020 protest in Aurora to bring attention to police violence walked onto and blocked all of the lanes of Interstate 225. Shortly after, a Jeep approached from behind and headed toward the crowd, prompting Young to fire five shots. Two shots hit the back of the Jeep, and two shots hit fellow protesters. One man was shot in the leg, and another man was grazed in the head. A woman also broke her leg when she leaped from the highway. The driver, who pulled off the highway and contacted police after the shooting, was not criminally charged. During Young’s trial, prosecutors said he didn't intend to hurt any protesters. The protest was organized in support of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who was arrested in August 2019 after someone called 911 to report a suspicious person wearing a ski mask and waving his arms while he walked down the street. He was arrested by Aurora police and injected with 500 milligrams of ketamine by EMS workers called to the scene. He suffered cardiac arrest, was declared brain dead and taken off life support less than a week later. McClain’s death became a national rallying cry along with the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in protests calling for police reform.

Edenderry Power has been given conditional approval to continue its operations Edenderry Power Limited has been granted conditional approval by Offaly County Council to continue operations at its power plant at Ballykilleen, Edenderry, from the beginning of 2024 to the end of 2030 exclusively using sustainable biomass fuel. The company already has permission to run the facility as a peat and biomass co-fired power plant following a decision in 2015 by Offaly County Council. This was later appealed to An Bord Pleanala by An Taisce and by Friends of the Irish Environment. In 2016 An Bord Pleanala upheld the decision by Offaly local authority and gave it the green light for a period of seven years from the date of the order. It stated that ''the electricity generating station shall then be decommissioned unless, prior to the end of that period, planning permission was granted for the continuation of the facility in an alternative role. The Board said the reason for this was to support the transition of energy generation away from non renewable resources and to provide for the orderly decommissioning of the electricity generation station. The permission was for the co-fuelling of peat with biomass to a maximum of 300,000 tons per annum of which meat and bone meal could constitute a maximum of 60,000 tons per annum. In its latest application, Edenderry Power proposed to increase the volume of biomass consumed at the facility from a current maximum of 300,000 to 530,000 tons per annum. The development will utilise the existing permitted electricity generation station and infrastructure, including fuel handling systems, utilities, processing systems and ancillary structures as part of the proposed development. There will be no change to the existing permitted site entrance. Offaly County Council attached 10 conditions when granting permission.

Twisted Sister frontman on Ukrainians using hit song as battle cry: ‘I absolutely approve’ Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider is praising Ukrainians who have turned one of his band’s hit songs into a rallying cry. “I absolutely approve of Ukrainians using ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ as their battlecry,” the frontman tweeted on Saturday about their adoption of the 1984 song. He added, “My grandfather was Ukrainian, before it was swallowed up by the USSR after WW2. This can’t happen to these people again!“ Ukrainians have reportedly reappropriated the hard rock hit into a protest anthem amid an invasion by Russia. Snider’s approval stands in stark contrast with his feelings on the song being used by people protesting COVID-19 mask mandates in 2020. At the time, Snider blasted the protestors, dubbing them “selfish assholes” with a “moronic cause,” and writing that they did not have his permission to use the song. Snider addressed the opposing reactions in a tweet later on Sunday. “People are asking me why I endorsed the use of ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers,” Snider wrote. “Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.” Russia launched an invasion into neighboring Ukraine five days ago, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has since asked for his nation to be admitted to the European Union. The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

EXCLUSIVE-Photos show Russian attacks on Ukraine grain storage -U.S. official He accused Ukrainian troops and "nationalists" of shooting at fleeing civilians, then added: "And yet today, we're being told that we're allegedly bombing vessels with grain as well as grain storage warehouses." Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of planting mines in the Black Sea and said some of those munitions had to be defused off Turkey and Romania as risks to vital merchant shipping in the region grow. U.S. government images seen by Reuters showed what a U.S. official said was damage to grain storage facilities in eastern Ukraine and was indicative of the severity of Russian attacks that are impacting the global food supply. The two black-and-white images showed long rectangular buildings in eastern Ukraine, first seen intact in January and then with damaged roofs and what a key calls "impact craters" in March. The U.S. official, commenting on the unclassified images, said the United States has information that Russian forces are repeatedly damaging grain storage facilities in eastern Ukraine. "As of late March, at least six grain storage facilities had been damaged as a result of these attacks," the official said. The development comes as officials around the world worry about the fallout to the global food supply from the invasion of Ukraine, the world's fourth largest grain exporter in the 2020/21 season. "Russia’s reckless damaging of these grain silos is a clear-cut example of how Putin’s war directly affects civilians in Ukraine and threatens food security around the world," the official said. "With countries across Africa and the Middle East reliant on Ukrainian wheat exports, the destruction of these food stocks and storage facilities could result in shortages and drive up prices in already vulnerable economies," the official said. Russian President Vladimir Putin describes his country's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine as a "special military operation" that aims to destroy Ukraine's military infrastructure. The Biden administration has repeatedly shared its intelligence publicly to put pressure on Putin over his invasion of Ukraine. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, at a U.N. Security Council meeting on Ukraine on Tuesday, said Russia has bombed at least three civilian ships carrying goods from Black Sea ports to the rest of the world, including one chartered by an agribusiness company. Sherman said Ukraine had told counterparts that “Russia is actively targeting grain silos and food storage facilities.” The Black Sea is a major shipping route for grain, oil and oil products. Its waters are shared by Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia and Turkey, as well as Ukraine and Russia. Sherman said the Russian navy is blocking access to Ukraine’s ports, essentially cutting off exports of grain and reportedly preventing approximately 94 ships carrying food for the world market from reaching the Mediterranean. "It’s no wonder many shippers are now hesitant to send vessels into the Black Sea, even to Russian ports, given the danger posed by Russian forces," she said. Russia's U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, refuted Sherman's statement. He accused Ukrainian troops and "nationalists" of shooting at fleeing civilians, then added: "And yet today, we're being told that we're allegedly bombing vessels with grain as well as grain storage warehouses." Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of planting mines in the Black Sea and said some of those munitions had to be defused off Turkey and Romania as risks to vital merchant shipping in the region grow.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An external review of Minnesota’s response to days of civil unrest following theMay 2020 killing of George Floyd found several weaknesses, including a lack of clear leadership early on as businesses were being destroyed and set ablaze, and a failure to discern peaceful from unlawful protesters. The report by Wilder Research, commissioned by the Department of Public Safety and made public Thursday, says Minnesota can do more to address tensions between law enforcement and communities, and must incorporate a deeper sense of humanity in the way it responds to civil unrest in the future. “Further research and evaluation are needed to understand the role of racism and other forms of bias in law enforcement responses to civil unrest and determine additional steps to address community distrust in law enforcement and state government,” the report also found. The report, which examined the state’s actions from May 26 through June 7, 2020, listed 20 recommendations to improve the state’s response and find ways to prevent such civil unrest from happening again. Three “critical recommendations” include: strengthening coordination between multiple agencies; improving coordination and relationships with local jurisdictions and the media; and addressing tension between law enforcement and communities through trust-building efforts, police accountability and transformation, and education. Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said in a letter to Gov. Tim Walz that his agency has already made changes to improve communication and police accountability, including implementing some of the report’s recommendations. Floyd, who was Black, was killed May 25, 2020, when former Officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for about nine and a half minutes as Floyd was handcuffed and lying face-down on the pavement. Bystander video showed Floyd said multiple times that he couldn’t breathe, before he eventually went silent and stopped moving. The killing sparked protests in Minneapolis and around the globe as part of a reckoning over racial injustice. In Minneapolis, some of the protests became violentas businesses, and even a police station, were ransacked and burned. The report said that unrest was unprecedented, and left local and state agencies overextended. Local police and emergency responders couldn’t respond to many calls for help. Several state agencies, as well as the National Guard, were called in — but the report noted they were not experienced in handling large-scale civil disturbances over such an extended period. The report found that the state was too late in setting up a multi-agency command center to coordinate response, and that several local agencies were following different rules of engagement. There was also a lack of communication, leading some communities and businesses totake matters into their own hands. Some of the response by state agencies was also viewed as escalating by some. The report also noted some strengths. Among them, it found the state acknowledged that the community had legitimate concerns after Floyd’s killing. It also noted that small mobile field force units were effective in addressing unrest in multiple locations. The report said that a curfew, when enforced, was also effective. A reportissued earlier this month on the city’s response to the Minneapolis protests was sharply critical and included several recommendations, including improving police training on crowd control tactics. Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughterand also pleaded guilty in federal court to violating Floyd’s civil rights. Three other former officers were also convicted of federal civil rights violations and are awaiting trial on state charges of aiding and abetting both murder and manslaughter. ___ Find AP’s full coverage of the killing of George Floyd at: https://apnews.com/hub/death-of-george-floyd

The Local Government Commission has upheld Horizons Regional Council's proposal for representation arrangements for local body elections in October. Following the regional council's representation review last year, the Commission has backed Horizons' final proposal for a 14-seat council, including two new Māori seats. It says the arrangements provide effective representation of communities of interest and fair representation for voters in the Manawatū-Whanganui region. Horizons will keep its existing six general constituencies of Ruapehu, Whanganui, Manawatū-Rangitīkei, Palmerston North, Tararua and Horowhenua, and bring in two new Māori constituencies: Raki Māori (Māori North) and Tonga Māori (Māori South). Advertisement Advertise with NZME.The Commission's determination announced yesterday follows a hearing in February into the single appeal against the council's final representation review proposal. The appeal supported the introduction of Māori seats but questioned the size of the general constituencies, including whether the Ruapehu general constituency was viable given its relatively low population, and whether there should be more seats for urban populations. Horizons acknowledged concerns that the urban voice might be under-represented but said many of the responsibilities of regional councils focused on rural areas, such as environmental and freshwater management. The council said it had decided against merging smaller constituencies such as Ruapehu and Tararua with others because it would result in unnatural groups of communities of interest and would not support effective representation. It said the Ruapehu constituency in particular was a large, remote and isolated part of the region and there were long-established reasons for a separate Ruapehu constituency. The electoral roll an elector is registered on determines which constituency they can vote in. Electors on the general roll can vote in one of Horizons' general constituencies and electors on the Māori roll can vote in a Māori constituency.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland lawmakers passed a measure on Thursday to create a paid family leave program, sending the legislation to Gov. Larry Hogan. The bill, approved by supermajority votes by Democrats who control the legislature, would enable workers to take up to 12 weeks of partially paid leave for specified personal family circumstances such as caring for a sick relative or having a baby. It would provide up to 24 weeks for a parent, if he or she has a serious health issue in the year of a child's birth. “This has been a long time coming,” said Sen. Antonio Hayes, a Baltimore Democrat. He thanked supporters who have “come together and really advocated on behalf of Maryland families." Republicans criticized the measure for failing to spell out how much employees and employers would have to contribute, leaving that for the state's labor department to define later. They said Democrats were rushing to get the bill to the Republican governor just to meet a deadline so lawmakers will still be in session if the bill is vetoed. “We're pushing this bill as quick as we can to get it upstairs,” said Sen. J.B. Jennings, a Republican, who added: “We don't know the numbers ... this bill is a hot mess.” Because lawmakers are in the last session of the four-year term, they would not have a chance to override the veto next year if they adjourn before the governor acts on legislation. The measure would create an insurance pool. Employees and employers would contribute to fund the program. Under the bill, the state’s labor department would set contribution rates to pay for the program. Employers with fewer than 15 employees would not be required to contribute. The measure also includes job protections to protect employees from retaliation or termination for using the leave. Seven states and the District of Columbia have paid family and medical leave insurance programs, including California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Washington. Colorado and Oregon have approved programs that have not started yet.

- Warning: Major spoilers are ahead for Sony and Marvel’s movies “Morbius.” - Jared Leto plays Dr. Michael Morbius in the film, who is made an antihero. - The confusing ending credits scenes feature Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes/Vulture. “Morbius,”This latest entry in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe features Jared Leto playing the title Marvel antihero. The film is about Dr. Michael Morbius who is a well-known biochemist and has a rare blood condition. He makes it his life’s work to find a cure. He uses bat DNA to make a serum that gives him superhuman capabilities, including increased strength and echolocation. The downside? Michael is made a living vampire by his insatiable bloodlust and new feral instincts. “Morbius”End credits include two confusing scenes that pave the road for the formation of the long-anticipated supervillain team. Here’s everything you need to know. In the opening scene, Michael Keaton plays Adrian Toomes/Vulture in a reprised role Keaton was the original portrayer of the character in 2017. “Spider-Man: Homecoming,”Tom Holland stars as Spider-Man/Peter Parker. He was Peter’s primary villain and father, Liz Toomes (Laura Harrier). The scene in the middle of credits “Homecoming”Toomes was shown in prison and briefly interacted with Mac Gargan (known in comics as Scorpion), who was his enemy. “I’ve got some boys on the outside who would love to meet him,”Mac said it, referring specifically to Spider-Man. “You know, take a picture, slice his throat, put his head in a dryer. And I heard a rumor you know who he is.” Adrian, lying, responded: “If I knew who he was, he’d already be dead.” The first scene in the end credits of “Morbius”The opening shot shows the universe’s purple-hued cracks above the lower Manhattan skyline. This indicates that the scene is from 2021. “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” The multiverse almost became uncontrollable in that movie due to a spell cast on Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). It went horribly wrong. Next, we are taken to prison cell B012, which is lit by light coming from the cell’s door window. Adrian is seen inside wearing his prison jumpsuit. Keaton’s character is thrown into a new world, and he looks at his reflection. He quickly realizes he is not in the same spot, and says: “Hope the food’s better in this joint.” The scene cuts to Spectrum News NY1’s news anchor, who says: “A bizarre story developing at the Manhattan Detention Center when a man identifying himself as Adrian Toomes simply appeared in an otherwise empty cell. A hearing has been set that could likely lead to his release.” The broadcast’s banner reads: “Adrian Toomes mystery appearance.” Adrian is seen leaving the detention centre in handcuffs, and being escorted by NYPD Emergency Service Unit Officers into a black SUV. Second scene: Adrian meets Michael Morbius face-to-face and proposes a team-up. Although it’s not clear how long has passed between this scene and the last one, Michael can be seen driving along an empty road at night. He gets out of the car and looks at his watch to see the time. A louder whooshing sound is heard. Adrian, dressed in an aerial Vulture suit touches down. He keeps his helmet on, concealing the fact that he is still visible. “Thanks for meeting me, doc,” Vulture tells Michael. “I’ve been reading about you.” “I’m listening,”Michael’s response is: “I’m not sure how I got here,” Vulture explains. “Has to do with Spider-Man, I think. I’m still figuring this place out, but I think a bunch of guys like us should team up and do some good.” Michael concludes the conversation by saying: “Intriguing.” The scenes at the end of the credits are confusing and raise many questions In “No Way Home,”Holland’s Peter was told by Doctor Strange how the villains of the multiverse got into their world. “That little spell that you botched where you wanted everyone to forget that Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, it started pulling in everyone who knows Peter Parker’s Spider-Man — from every universe — into this one.” Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) ending up in Holland’s universe — and being sent back to his world after Doctor Strange cast a new spell — in the mid-credits scene of “No Way Home”This was because it didn’t make any sense. “Venom”Movies have never said that Hardy’s character is aware that Peter is Spider-Man. Keaton’s character, Spider-Man knows, was yanked OutIt makes no sense to take Holland’s universe and place it into Morbius’s. Many nods in “Morbius”Make it crystal clear that the titular character is Venom lives in the exact same universe as Venom. Rodriguez declares: “We haven’t had anything this good since that thing in San Francisco,”Most likely, Venom. A second scene of the film sees Michael breaking several bones in a body of a man. The victim is terrified and asks the antihero who he’s. “I’m Venom.” Also, you can find copies of The Daily Bugle in every location “Morbius,”With the publication’s logo and style looking the same as those in the magazine ” Venom: Let There Be Carnage”Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man”Tobey Maguire was a star in many films. “Venom 2″Andy Serkis, the director of his film, spoke about the reference in a conversation with IGN in May 2021 saying: “There are nods and little moments just like this — newspaper The Daily Bugle — but on the whole, he’s unaware, they’re unaware at this point of other characters like Spider-Man.” In a Twitter Q&A with CinemaBlend, conducted prior to the release of “Morbius,” director Daniel Espinosa confirmedVulture in Keaton’s film is the exact same version as Keaton’s. “Homecoming.” Espinosa was asked how Keaton’s character got into the same universe with Venom and Morbius. : “At the end of ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ and ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ and in ‘No Way Home’ itself, it is clearly established that it is possible for characters to transfer from one multiverse to another.” “The events of ‘No Way Home’ had the effect of transferring Venom and Vulture (and maybe others) back and forth between the MCU and the Venom Universe,”He added. This is because the rules for the multiverse are not explicitly explained in the films. Vulture’s suit also looks different to the one he wore in “Homecoming,” Espinosa confirmed. “If you look closely, you will see it is not quite the same suit as ‘Homecoming,'”He . “He is a resourceful guy.” Adrian’s “Homecoming”The suit was created by a team of people who used Chitauri technology remnants found after the Battle of New York, 2012 “The Avengers.” Adrian can build a suit in Morbius’ universe on his own using other tech. However, the exact method of assembly is not known. Also, it’s worth noting that Keaton’s ending credits scenes are different from those in the movie. “Morbius” trailers. Every trailer starting from the very first Published January 2020The most recent version On February 28th, the price was reducedKeaton outside wearing his white prison uniform. Based on footage from the TrailersIt seems that Adrian and Michael were actually supposed to meet outside of the detention center. In the first Teaser trailerAdrian, who was released January 2020, crosses paths with Michael. “Got tired of doing the whole ‘good guy’ thing, huh? What’s up, doc?” The official trailerAdrian saw Michael and told him that the news had come out in November 2021. “Hey, Dr. Mike, you and I should stay in touch.” Because of the scenes in trailers and the final cut “Morbius”The movie’s elements may have been altered or reshoots might have occurred. What does Spider-Man have to do with all this? The “Morbius”Trailers featured nods towards all three iterations “Spider-Man,”Maguire (in Raimi’s trilogy), Andrew Garfield (“in Marc Webb’s two”) “Amazing Spider-Man”Holland, and films). Quick shot of NYC’s skyline, including Oscorp Tower with the same logo. “TASM.” The Daily Bugle’s design is identical to Raimi’s movie. The trailers included Leto in his orange jumpsuit walking alongside a Spider-Man poster with graffiti. “murderer.” Maguire depicted a similar web-slinger in his brick wall design. The Same suitThis was AdditionalMarvel’s “Spider-Man”Play Station 4 (PS4) Game for 2018. These nods to Spider-Man were dropped from the theatrical release “Morbius,”Fans are left wondering if Spider-Man is still present in Morbius’ universe. Adrian’s conversation with Michael during the second scene of the end-credits made it clear that Adrian is his. Interested?In forming the Sinister Six, a supervillain team from comics who share a common enemy: Spider-Man. In the comics, the varying lineup of the group has included villains already seen on the big screen — like Doc Ock and Vulture — to ones that will soon make their debuts — like Kraven the Hunter, who will be portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in an upcoming standalone Sony film. In his Twitter Q&A with CinemaBlend, Espinosa That there It isA Spider-Man in Venom’s universe. However, it is still unknown who the character will be playing in this world. “It is my understanding that audiences will discover the answer soon,”The director said something cryptic.

Coach K builds Blue Devils into his final Final Four team By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer NEW ORLEANS (AP) — In one of his tried-and-true motivational speeches, Mike Krzyzewski outlined his four pillars of team building. They are: making everyone feel important, taking ownership, adaptability and doing things with feeling. Duke perfected the first three to help Coach K reach his 13th and most amazing Final Four. Next comes the “feeling” part. Now that the record-setting, 75-year-old coach is in New Orleans, he knows he must walk a fine line between enjoying the moment and letting it overwhelm his team. Krzyzewski says he’s always thought that being able to share the emotion with his players is the best feeling. Their next chance comes Saturday, when the Blue Devils meet archrival North Carolina in the national semifinals, If Duke wins, Coach K will go for his sixth national title Monday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The owner of a downtown Los Angeles building where an explosion injured 12 firefighters has been allowed to enter a judicial diversion program that allows him to avoid jail time and potentially have all charges dismissed. A court commissioner on Wednesday granted the diversion request for Steve Sungho Lee. He and his companies must pay more than $125,000 in investigative fees, make sure the property meets fire and building codes and arranging for Fire Department training. Lee owned a commercial building on East Boyd Street in the city's Toy District that caught fire on May 16, 2020. Firefighters had to run for their lives when a ball of flames shot out the building and scorched a fire truck across the street. Firefighters inside the building had to run through a wall of flames he estimated as 30 feet (9 meters) high and wide, and those on the roof scrambled down a ladder that was engulfed in fire. Fire officials said the building was a warehouse for Smoke Tokes, a wholesale distributor of supplies for smoking and vaping products including butane hash oil, a concentrated cannabis extract that can be eaten, smoked or vaped. Highly flammable butane is used in the manufacturing process. Most of the injured firefighters still haven't returned to work and one, Capt. Victor Aguirre, was hospitalized for more than two months and all of his fingers had to be partially amputated, according to a lawsuit he filed against the building and business owners. Aguirre alleged that the area contained “hundreds of illegally and improperly stored butane canisters and thousands of illegally and improperly stored nitrous oxide cylinders.” A fire department report concluded that the blaze, which spread to a nearby building, was fueled by an “excessive quantity” of the containers. Investigators from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives concluded that the fire started under a storage rack in the building and that a worker with a lit cigarette was seen in the area. The cause of the fire was ruled accidental. However, city prosecutors filed more than 300 misdemeanor charges of violating fire and safety codes against Lee, his companies and owners of businesses in the building and nearby properties. That included more than 160 counts against Lee and his companies. If Lee meets all conditions of his judicial diversion program for two years, the charges will be dismissed. “Mr. Lee will be deemed by law to have never been charged," said his attorney, Blair Berk. “The exhaustive federal investigation of the tragic fire objectively concluded that the cause was accidental, and there was no finding of any wrongdoing by Mr. Lee or his companies.” City Attorney Mike Feuer opposed diversion for Lee, noting the severity of the fire, the injuries suffered by the firefighters and Lee's alleged failure “to take steps which could have mitigated the extent of the blaze." The owners of Smoke Tokes and another business, Green Buddha, agreed in November 2020 to pay $139,000 each to cover investigative costs and to move out of the building. Charges against them were later dismissed.

JAPINAD helping Jamaicans make healthier food choices Wednesday, March 30, 2022MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica - Past President of the Jamaica Association of Professionals in Nutrition and Dietetics (JAPINAD) Dr Rosalie Brown, says the 100-member-strong organisation is committed to helping Jamaicans make healthier food choices. “Whether it's a proper diet or eating to manage the symptoms of a disease or chronic condition, registered dietitian nutritionists design programmes to protect health, prevent allergic reactions and alleviate the symptoms of many types of disease,” she pointed out. Brown said that while the task is not always easy, the members are driven by an unwavering belief of service above self. “Our job is to educate and inform the public as it relates to engaging in a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, we have brought all the skill sets in our profession under one umbrella to better serve the people,” she noted. “A lot of our members work with the Ministry of Health and Wellness, as we are an important part of that team,” she pointed out. Brown, who is a regional dietitian at the Western Regional Health Authority (WRHA), noted that the JAPINAD membership includes clinical dietitians, who specialise in the management of overweight and critically ill patients, such as those with renal (kidney) disease and diabetes, while others manage food service departments in nursing care facilities or hospitals. JAPINAD is celebrating its 20th anniversary in March, under the theme 'Celebrating our diverse profession, showcasing our Jamaican flavours'. It is a non-profit professional organisation that represents all practitioners in the field of dietetics and nutrition. The organisation, which was launched in 2002 has a membership consisting of professionals and paraprofessionals.

A line of severe storms packing isolated tornadoes and high winds ripped across the Deep South overnight — killing at least two in the Florida Panhandle, toppling trees and power lines and leaving homes and businesses damaged as the vast weather front raced across several states. In Florida, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday morning that two were killed and two injured when a tornado touched down in the western Florida Panhandle. Two homes were destroyed and powerlines were knocked down, according to Washington Country Emergency Management spokeswoman Cheryl Frankenfield. The county’s Facebook page showed at least one home that was obliterated, as well as trees down on another home. No other details were immediately available. The Florida Division of Emergency Management has employees in the area to help, spokesperson Samantha Bequer said. She said neighboring Jackson County also had property damage. “It’s a nasty day, but thankfully these storms are moving quickly,” she said. At least two confirmed tornadoes injured several people Wednesday, damaged homes and businesses and downed power lines in Mississippi and Tennessee after earlier storm caused damage in Arkansas, Missouri and Texas. About 185,000 customers were without electricity Thursday morning in the wake of the storm along a band of states: Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utilities. The worst of the weather Thursday morning appeared to be at the southern end of the storm front, which was expected to bring heavy rain and high winds all along the U.S. East Coast later in the day. Much of the Florida Panhandle was under a tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee. Widespread damage was reported in the Jackson, Tennessee, area as a tornado warning was in effect. “Significant damage” occurred to a nursing home near Jackson-Madison County General Hospital and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office in Jackson, said Madison County Emergency Management Director Jason Moore. In Nashville, Tennessee, paneling fell five stories from the side of a downtown hotel Wednesday evening and onto the roof of a building below. The fire department warned that debris could become airborne as high winds continued, and some hotel guests were moved to other parts of the building due to concerns the roof would become unstable. No injuries were immediately associated with the collapse. Daylight revealed widespread wind damage across Alabama. One person suffered minor injuries when a storm hit the University of Montevallo campus south of Birmingham, damaging three buildings, officials said, and a woman was injured when a manufactured home rolled over in rural Bibb County. A school bus was flipped at a high school in south Alabama, and part of the roof was missing from a church in northwest Alabama. Elsewhere, a warehouse roof collapsed as the storms moved through Southaven, Mississippi, near Memphis, police said. The building had been evacuated and no injuries were reported. The Mississippi Senate suspended its work Wednesday as weather sirens blared during a tornado watch in downtown Jackson. Some employees took shelter in the Capitol basement. Rander P. Adams said he and his wife, Janice Delores Adams, were in their home near downtown Jackson when severe weather blew through during a tornado warning Wednesday afternoon. He said their lights flashed and a large window exploded just feet from his wife as she tried to open their front door. “The glass broke just as if someone threw a brick through it,” he said. “I advised her then, ‘Let’s go to the back of the house.’” Adams said the storm toppled trees in a nearby park, and a large tree across the street from their house split in half. “We were blessed,” he said. “Instead of falling toward the house, it fell the other way.” Earlier Wednesday, a tornado that struck Springdale, Arkansas, and the adjoining town of Johnson, about 145 miles (235 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock, shortly after 4 a.m. injured seven people, two critically, according to Springdale Mayor Doug Sprouse. Sprouse said in a statement that one of those critically injured had improved and was in stable condition and the other five were released from a hospital. “Our first responders have completed door-to-door searches, and we believe everyone has been accounted for,” Sprouse said. The National Weather Service in Tulsa said Thursday that the tornado has been rated an EF-3, up from an initial assessment of EF-2, with wind speeds between 136-165 mph (219-265 kph). The tornado reached a peak speed of about 145 mph (233 kph) and 5 miles (8 kilometers) while on the ground for about eight minutes, according to the weather service. In northwest Missouri, an EF-1 tornado with wind speeds around 90 mph (145 kph) struck St. Joseph on Tuesday night, damaging two homes. A small tornado also touched down briefly on the eastern edge of Dallas, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. The tornado struck just after 4:30 a.m. Wednesday near McClendon-Chisolm with top winds of about 100 mph (161 kph) and damaged homes, but no injuries were reported, according to the weather service. The storms come a week after a tornado in a New Orleans-area neighborhood carved a path of destruction during the overnight hoursand killed a man. Strong winds in Louisiana overturned semitrailers, peeled the roof from a mobile home, sent a tree crashing into a home and knocked down power lines, according to weather service forecasters, who did not immediately confirm any tornadoes in the state. The National Weather Service office in New Orleans said Thursday that teams would be out in Tangipahoa and St. Tammany Parishes in southeastern Louisiana and in Jackson County in southeastern Mississippi surveying damage. They said the highest wind speed recorded in the office’ coverage area was 67 mph (108 kph) at the New Orleans Lakefront airport with winds in Baton Rouge reaching into the high 50 mph (80 kph) range. Firefighters, meanwhile, have been trying to get handle on a wildfire spreading near Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, amid mandatory evacuations as winds whipped up ahead of the approaching storm front. The fire, which was not contained, had expanded to about 250 acres (more than 100 hectares) as of Wednesday afternoon. One person was injured, and a plume of smoke rose above one community not far from where 2016 wildfires ravaged the tourism town of Gatlinburg, killing 14 people and damaging or destroying about 2,500 buildings. ___ Wagster Pettus reported from Jackson, Mississippi; Farrington reported from Tallahassee, Florida; and Mattise from Nashville, Tennessee; many other Associated Press journalists contributed to this report.

Don't throw Russia out of G20, aid group says, with eye on food crisis Excluding Russia from the Group of 20 major economies and other international institutions could slow efforts to address a worsening global food crisis exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, the head of German aid group Welthungerhilfe (WHH) told Reuters. Mathias Mogge, chief executive of the group, which serves 14.3 million people with projects in 35 countries, said it was critical to maintain communication with Russia, one of the world's largest producers of wheat, in tackling the crisis. Excluding Russia from the Group of 20 major economies and other international institutions could slow efforts to address a worsening global food crisis exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, the head of German aid group Welthungerhilfe (WHH) told Reuters. Mathias Mogge, chief executive of the group, which serves 14.3 million people with projects in 35 countries, said it was critical to maintain communication with Russia, one of the world's largest producers of wheat, in tackling the crisis. "Of course, Russia is the aggressor here, and there needs to be sanctions and everything. But in a humanitarian situation as we have it today, there must be open lines of communication." Mogge said in an interview this week. Mogge's comments come days after U.S. President Joe Biden said he thinks Russia should be removed from the G20, although experts say that is unlikely to happen given lack of support from India, China and several other G20 members. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February is driving food prices sharply higher across the world and triggering shortages of staple crops in parts of central Asia, the Middle East and north Africa, according to United Nations officials. The war, which Russia calls a "special military operation," has slashed shipments from the two countries, which together account for 25% of world wheat exports and 16% of corn exports, driving prices sharply higher on international markets. Mogge said he expected Group of Seven leaders to address the issue during their upcoming meetings. Russia was still part of what was then the Group of Eight during the last food crisis of 2007 and 2008, and played a constructive role in reducing hunger worldwide, Mogge said.

Members of the HackerNoon team -- located in different parts of the world-- worked in unison to deliver over a thousand individualized awards to our internet family for Valentine's Day. Below is what it looks like in the final few moments (hours) before a remote team finalizes two large internet campaigns. This part of the initiative consisted of our developers deploying scripts to create individual awards and tech pages, updating the messaging on the websites, our designer making any final tweaks if needed, properly compiling/auditing email lists and CSVs, and making sure marketing copy for emails and blog posts reflected any and all final changes. It further included a last-minute audit, to make sure thousands of newly created worked as intended. Plus somehow it seems Linh managed to get a meeting in between there. Shook. The below thread has been edited to a more reader-friendly size, initially, we had about 103 replies.

NEWS OF THE MORNING Russia’s economy is nose-diving: Via The Washington Post’s Jeff Stein, “Overnight, European leaders imposed new measures that effectively cut Russia off from its financial reserves. The U.S. Treasury Department followed suit with similar steps on Monday morning.” https://wapo.st/3Kk23d1 Basically: “[A]ll people in the United States and European Union are banned from trading with Russia’s central bank.” Even before this new round of restrictions: “Russia’s economy was already showing signs of severe distress before the new measures were implemented, with crowds of Russians rushing to withdraw cash from ATMs and the value of the nation’s currency plunging dramatically.” Where things stand with the Russian economy: https://wapo.st/3Kk23d1 ^ WHAT THEN HAPPENED — RUSSIA’S CURRENCY PLUMMETED IN VALUE: Via The Associated Press, “The ruble fell about 30% against the dollar Monday — making it worth less than 1 U.S. cent — after the U.S., European Union and United Kingdom announced moves to block some Russian banks from the SWIFT international payment system…” https://cbsn.ws/3IuGl5r ^ Oh … and the Russian stock market closed today: https://cnb.cx/36ORXCm WHY THE FINANCIAL SANCTIONS HAVE BEEN THE STRATEGY — ‘THE WEST’S PLAN TO ISOLATE PUTIN: UNDERMINE THE RUBLE’: Via The New York Times’s Patricia Cohen and Jeanna Smialek, “By targeting Russia’s central bank with sanctions, experts said, American and European leaders have taken aim at what could be one of President Vladimir V.

Putin declared Sunday that he was putting his nuclear forces into ‘special combat readiness’ — a heightened alert status reminiscent of some of the most dangerous moments of the Cold War — President Biden and his aides had a choice.” https://nyti.ms/3ItF5iQ The options: Escalate the situation or basically ignore Putin and call his bluff. The direction Biden has gone so far: “For now, at least, Mr. Biden chose to de-escalate.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether. Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge. “My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said. Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest. “Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said. Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them. “When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said. Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether. Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary. “The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said. Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers. “We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said. Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms. “How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said.

David Price waiting to see how Dodgers will deploy his arm By NORM FRAUENHEIM Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Dodgers’ left-handed pitcher David Price isn’t quite sure what role he’ll play this season. The 36-year-old is a five-time All-Star. He reached 93 miles per hour in a one-inning appearance on Wednesday. Manager Dave Roberts believes Price could have an immediate role by pitching relief innings. But Roberts said Price is unlikely to start because he’s not “built up.” The Dodgers got Price in 2020 along with Mookie Betts from the Red Sox.

A previously undisclosed short virtual meeting between Will Smith and Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson on March 29 could be causing a new crisis to hit the Oscar organization. The initial six-minute zoom call was initiated by the King Richard star to Rubin and Hudson mainly saw Smith apologize, yet again, for slapping Chris Rock during Sunday’s telecast on live TV. The new shockwave is hitting hard because those in the Academy’s Board of Governors meeting yesterday beginning disciplinary procedures against Smith weren’t in the know. “Why would they keep this from us?” exclaimed one insider who participated in Wednesday’s board meeting. “It only contributes to an atmosphere of suspicion and lack of leadership.” With seemingly contradictory information now swirling about how Smith was allegedly asked and refused to exit the Dolby Theatre after striking Rock, the efforts by the nearly 50-member Board of Governors to find an appropriate solution to the situation by its next April 18 scheduled meeting could be fracturing based on news of Rubin and Hudson’s March 29 virtual meeting with Smith. The King Richard Oscar for Best Actor winner: At least 15 days notice must be given as of yesterday prior to the vote about his violations and sanctions. A written response will be required. “What else don’t we know about what’s happening or what happened on Sunday?”Another Academy member well-placed spoke out about the interaction between Smith and Hudson. “This lack of transparency undermines our ability to come to a suitable resolution to the whole thing,”The AMPAS member was added. Rubin and Hudson heard Smith’s apology out out over how he lost it over Rock’s “G.I. Jane 2” joke over Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. Hudson and Rubin informed Smith of a meeting with Governors to discuss the appropriate punitive actions against Oscar-winning actress Jada Pinkett Smith. King Richard Best Actor. Yesterday, the Board of Governors met and unanimously agreed to investigate Smith’s altercation. The Oscar winner’s disciplinary actions will be decided at the next Board of Governors meeting, April 18. This could lead to suspension, expulsion, and other sanctions as permitted by the Bylaws or Standards of Conduct. While Smith could potentially be expelled from AMPAS, many sources don’t believe he’ll lose his Oscar. AMPAS issued a statement Wednesday saying, “While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.” However, those close to Smith on Sunday night say that he was never asked directly by anyone associated with AMPAS to leave the Dolby Theatre; rather the idea was floated to the actor by Oscar brass via Smith’s publicist. Will Packer is among the Oscar high-ups who first spoke publicly about what happened Good Morning AmericaFriday morning That interview was teased tonight with Packer revealing details about the LAPD’s conversation with Rock on Sunday night. “They were saying, ‘This is battery.’ That was the word they used in that moment,”Packer explained GMA‘s T.J. Holmes. “They said, ‘We will go get him. We are prepared. We will go get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him. They were laying out the options. And as they were talking, Chris was, he was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, ‘No, I’m fine. He was like no, no, no. And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish. The LAPD officers finish laying out what his options were. And they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action? And he said no.” Smith representatives and the Academy declined to comment. Variety reports first on Tuesday’s call between Smith and Oscar bosses.

Trumann mayor speaks on clean-up deadline TRUMANN, Ark. (KAIT) - After weeks of silence, Trumann mayor Barbara Lewallen spoke on a highly-debated deadline the city has placed on its residents. The deadline for any debris from last December’s destructive tornado must be cleaned up by April 1.. When it came to whether citizens would be fined when the deadline passes, Lewallen could not give a straight answer. “It is a case-by-case basis,” she said. “We will go and check what is cleaned up and what is not, how much plainer can I make it. There is no yes or no because until we look at the cases, we don’t know.” Many Trumann residents have sent complaints about how they can not afford to have a contractor dispose of it. They are wondering where the money for the cleanup efforts is at. The city received $100,000 dollars from The Crowley’s Ridge Development Council, $10,000 from the state of Arkansas, and $1,100 from Craighead Electric. “We have not received any money from anybody,” Lewallen said. “The donations we received primary went to citizens given out through Southern Bancorp.” Citizens across the city say they have not seen a dime of that money, adding that city employees have even charged them to remove debris from the curbs. The mayor said she did not understand why the media was asking her so many questions, adding she has been extremely busy. “We are not doing anything to harm people or anything that is illegal,” Lewallen said. “We are trying to run a city, clean up after a tornado, and every time we turn around, we are being accused of something we are doing wrong.” Longtime Trumann resident Bruce Williams has been cleaning his debris up, but he said he was going as fast as he could before the clock hit midnight. “It has been going good so far,” he said. “I just have nowhere to put it, I’m having to drive 45 minutes to find somewhere to put this.” Williams said the whole situation is wrong, adding he and other citizens need both financial and physical help. “I don’t get mad anymore, but I am just sad now,” he said. “Somehow, we have to pay to get it cleaned up when they should be paying us.” Lewallen said if you have any questions or concerns about the deadline, you should contact the city’s office at 870-483-5355.

March Madness provides unforeseen upsets and wacky, unpredictable moments that make the tournament memorable year in and year out. Here are some stats from this year’s tournament that describe the madness of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. In the Round of 64, there were seven upsets from matchups outside the 8 vs. 9 seeds, which have traditionally been a coin flip. This includes 15 seed St. Peter’s defeating 2 seed Kentucky, one of the tournament favorites. Additionally, three 11 seeds defeated their 6 seed counterparts. In the Round of 32, there were five upsets from matchups outside the 4 vs. 5 seeds. This includes St. Peter’s winning once again, this time over 7 seed Murray State. This also includes 8 seed North Carolina defeating defending champions and 1 seed Baylor, as well as 11 seed Michigan defeating 3 seed SEC tournament champions Tennessee. For the Sweet 16, only one of the four regions went “chalk” where the top four seeds were the four teams remaining. The East Region saw Gonzaga, Duke, Texas Tech and Arkansas all advance. Other than that, each region went differently than expected in who was remaining in the Sweet 16. There was a matchup between a 10 seed and an 11 seed in the round. Two 1 seeds fell in the round, bringing the total 1 seeds left down to one (Kansas). St. Peter’s won again, this time knocking off 3 seed Purdue. For the Elite Eight, there was a matchup in 8 seed North Carolina and 15 seed St. Peter’s that was the highest combined total between two seeds facing each other in the round. Now, in the Final Four, the madness continues. While St. Peter’s run has finally come to an end, at the hands of North Carolina, the fans will now be treated to the first Duke-North Carolina rivalry game in the history of the tournament, coming in Duke’s Coach K’s final season. With only a single 1 seed making the Final Four, with Kansas set to face 2 seed Villanova, the madness worked its way on this year’s tournament, and the madness is likely to continue through the title game.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage. “They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment," Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.” But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea. “He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. "And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.” The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night's ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer's interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned. The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television." Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so. Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary. On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.” The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18. Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.” ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton

JFJ head dismisses anti-police accusations Wednesday, March 30, 2022KINGSTON, Jamaica— Executive Director for Jamaicans For Justice (JFJ), Mickel Jackson, is dismissing naysayers' claim that the organisation is against the members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force. According to Jackson, who was speaking on Wednesday at the launch of JFJ's 57-page justice report at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, in St Andrew, the organisation supports the JCF but not officers who fail to work within the ambit of the law. “I use this opportunity to clarify a common misconception about the role of JFJ and how we feel about interacting with the police force. We support the police, absolutely we do. We stand in unison with the good men and women of the force,” Jackson said. “I want to be very clear around that, however,�we cannot stand with those who break the law and challenge the very humanity of the Jamaican citizens. It is on that basis that JFJ offers strong condemnation towards those who step outside the law. I think we should all do the same,” she added. Jackson believes the high levels of crime in the country must be cauterised but noted that the security forces must work within the law to achieve objectives while maintaining the principle of innocent until proven guilty. “If in addressing crime, we proceed with an assumption of guilt until proven innocent and apply it to groups of people based on where they come from, what they wear, or how much money they make, we would have lost the very thing we were fighting to preserve in the first place,” Jackson said. She noted that the 2021 INDECOM report indicates that more needs to be done to address the low conviction rate of officers involved in taking the lives of Jamaican citizens. She also called for effective police and judicial reforms, among which she stated that the use of body-worn cameras is of high priority.

Sean Dolan and Olivia Feehan, travelling to Poland next week to help Ukranian refugees. A St Rynagh's GAA dual stalwart is taking time out to help Ukrainian refugees. Sean Dolan, one of the most accomplished dual hurlers and footballers in Offaly, is travelling to Poland next Thursday with Olivia Feehan, from across the Galway border at Esker, Banagher, in the Meelick-Eyrecourt area. Cloghan man Dolan is staying indefinitely, depending on what help is needed and what value he can provide to the aid effort while Olivia Feehan will stay for two weeks before returning home to her work as a psychotherapist at TUS Midlands in Athlone. The duo have also launched a big fundraising campaign in a bid to get money for refugees and Ukrainian people who have had their lives turned upside down and much of their country destroyed by the disgraceful Russian invasion. A teacher at Banagher College, Dolan had taken a year's leave of absence with the intention of travelling to America and maybe other locations but the plight of Ukraine touched his heart and he decided to instead use the time to fulfill another of his life ambitions by engaging in charity work. He is very well known to the Offaly GAA public. Dolan has been an absolutely pivotal figure as St Rynagh's have embarked on their latest golden era in Offaly hurling. They bridged a long famine when winning the Senior Hurling Championship in 2016 and have since won three in a row from 2019 to 2021. His performances at centre half forward or other attacking roles have been instrumental in their success story. A great ball winning forward with power and a strong engine, he is one of the team's leaders and his unique style, his ability to burst past opponents and create openings have added a vital piece to a winning jigsaw. Dolan has played senior hurling for Offaly while he is also a very good footballer and was in great form when St Rynagh's won the Intermediate Football Championship in 2020. He brings similar attributes of power, pace and work ethic to the table for the St Rynagh's footballers but both could possibly have to start the campaign without him this year, depending on how long he stays in Poland. Dolan stated on Thursday that he has informed new St Rynagh's senior hurling manager Kevin O'Brien of Clonkill of his plans and they will be keeping in touch. 28 years of age, he will, however, be putting hurling and football to the back of his mind for the next while at least. “I always really wanted to do charity work and I said if I pass up on this now, will I ever do it,” he said. “It is a good time to put my shoulder to the wheel and help out,” he added. He and Olivia have purchased a van and looked after the insurance and paperwork etc for this themselves. They have launched a Gofundme campaign to help refugees and people displaced from their homes in Ukraine. He stated that the big crisis facing the country now is a lack of cash rather than humanitarian supplies with banks blown up and cash inaccessible. They want to get cash to help provide rent money for refugees and other displaced people as well as for their basic needs. They are working in conjunction with Irish Red Cross and are hoping to be able to attract donations from younger people who want to help out but are not certain how to do so, in addition to older people. He and Olivia will drive to Krakow in Poland next Thursday, travelling by ferry to Holyhead and then to Rotterdam before the 14 hour drive to their destination. They decided to buy a mini bus-van rather than fly as it gives them more flexibility in terms of the help they can give out there. They will live in the van and then travel around the place as the need arises and help is needed by Red Cross and aid agencies. The van will also provide a much-needed refuge for the duo if they become distressed by the scenes they witness or human hardship they encounter. He plans to help out with distribution of medical supplies, providing a shuttle bus to the airport, in soup kitchens and basically anywhere he is needed. They will provide updates of their progress and experiences on Instagram @irishhelpukraine. The duo have contacted a few Irish people working in Poland and familiar with the situation there to assess the needs and as a result of this, they have decided this is the best way to help out. The cash they collect will be used to help refugees in practical ways and if any of them wish to avail of the generous offer of asylum in Ireland, they will assist them with organising this and help organise and pay for flights when necessary. Cash donations will be made to refugees, to assist them get started if they are going to Ireland or elsewhere. They have collected over €12,000 so far and have set a target of €50,000. All support will be very gratefully received, donations will be welcome for the duration of Sean's stay and the duo will make people aware of what their money is being spent on. Donations can be made on GoFundMe by TAPPING HERE while details can also be received from Sean on 087 7704926. Donations can also be made at Spar in Cloghan and Feeney's Shop, Main Street, Banagher.

Eddie Jones: The RFU's potential contenders to replace England head coach RFU CEO Bill Sweeney and Director of Performance Rugby Conor O'Shea have intimated they want the next England head coach to be English, and to be confirmed and installed as part of the set-up ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, before taking over from Eddie Jones afterwards By Michael Cantillon Last Updated: 31/03/22 6:19pm We look through the potential contenders who the RFU could turn to after Eddie Jones leaves his role as England head coach... Listening to the noises coming out of the RFU in recent weeks, it appears they are aiming for two key things in the replacement of Jones: for the next England head coach to be English, and potentially for them to come into the set-up and shadow Jones before his departure. "We've got an advanced succession plan in place," RFU CEO Bill Sweeney has said. "We've got a war room that's got every English coach you can imagine - based here and based internationally. It's got contracts and all sorts of things. There's a very definite plan. - RFU wants to name English successor to Jones before 2023 World Cup - Sweeney: RFU incredibly disappointed by England 6N showing - Six Nations 2022: What we learnt from superb championship "We believe we've got such a wealth of English coaches in the game. As a leading rugby nation, we should be developing English coaches and an English style of play. That should be long-term and therefore the preference would be to have an English set-up as far as I'm concerned." Three years ago, France headed to the 2019 World Cup in Japan still under Jacques Brunel, after another poor Six Nations performance. Les Bleus' response was to announce that Fabien Galthie would replace Brunel after the World Cup, and that he would work under Brunel at the tournament before taking charge. It's something Director of Performance Rugby for the RFU Conor O'Shea admits appeals to them. "The plan for us will be to appoint that coach before summer 2023," O'Shea said. "Whether that's embedding them into the programme or taking a helicopter view, that's a discussion to be had. "We would like to think we will be appointing them in the lead up to 2023. We have so many top English coaches who are in a great position. You look across the Premiership and then you see the quality of people overseas. I want them to be English and I believe [they] should be. "The rationale is we need to appoint so we have got time to embed the new coaching team and allow them to hit the ground running. Eddie is fully aware and knows what we want to do. "There will be some people who say that will disturb the World Cup prep because people will be looking over their shoulder. Galthié was appointed before the 2019 World Cup and it's the right thing to do because we need to get ready for the 2024 Six Nations." So, with all that in mind, who are the likely replacements? Rob Baxter, Exeter Chiefs director of rugby The headline English candidate to take over, it would seem, is Exeter Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter. The 51-year-old guided the Devon-based club from the Championship to European champions in 10 years, and is on a current run of steering them to six successive Premiership finals. Baxter has done this largely with a core of players that have come through the academy at Exeter, and with this season's performance by the club not at the level of previous years, it may be time for him to move on and into the Test game. Concerns over Baxter may be that of the six finals made, the Chiefs only won two of them, plus Exeter is literally all he's ever known. He played second row for the club for 14 years, captained them for a decade, moved from playing into a forwards coach role, then as acting head coach and finally director of rugby between 2009-2022. He earned promotion from the Championship in his very first campaign and has never looked back, while he is also someone who almost always keeps a calm demeanour, good media relationships, and works positively with players. Current England internationals Sam Simmonds, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Henry Slade and Jack Nowell have all come through into professional rugby under Baxter, while others whom Jones has failed to give real chances to such as Joe Simmonds, Tom O'Flaherty, Harry Williams and Alex Hepburn are players Baxter knows extremely well. In March 2013, Baxter joined the England coaching team for the summer tour to Argentina and Uruguay, but that aside he has no experience outside of Exeter. "I would be happy to have a chat about what the role is, how they see it working and what their plans and ambitions are," Baxter said of the England post this week. "Unless you know what it is, it's hard to say yes or no to anything. At the same time, I'm not looking for another job! I'm very happy here. "If you could ask every director of rugby or head coach across the Premiership, we'd probably all say the same thing: 'we don't really know what the job is'. "If you look across the Premiership we're all in slightly different places. Me personally now, I probably haven't done any real, solid, on-field coaching for two years. "What role is it? Is it a DoR-type role? Someone who brings in a coaching team and is prepared to work with those guys? Is it an on-field guy, blowing a whistle and directing how the team are actually playing? "What do they want to see? Then you might genuinely see guys saying 'right, that's a role for me' or 'that's not a role for me'. "That's part of the issue - is it that they want to find the guy first and he fits into a role he is comfortable with and is good at, or is it that they will say 'we want this kind of person and this is what the role has to be'? That would clarify the position for most of the English coaches." Steve Borthwick, Leicester Tigers Head Coach & former England forwards coach (2015-2020) Another former second row, Leicester Tigers head coach Steve Borthwick worked with Jones for five years in the England set-up as forwards coach, and a further three years as assistant coach in Japan before that. Having taken charge of the Tigers in 2020, Borthwick has overseen a huge turnaround at the club, transforming them from Premierships strugglers to pace-setters at the top of the table. As such, his is a name very much linked to the England post. The Leicester job is the first head coaching gig in his career, however, so the 42-year-old would be thrown in very green. Borthwick, who picked up 57 Test caps as a player between 2001 and 2010, recently said he has "enough on my plate" at Leicester, but if England did come calling, it would be hard for him to say no. Richard Cockerill, England forwards coach From Eddie Jones's previous forwards coach to the current one, former England hooker Richard Cockerill is another name linked. The 51-year-old has built up 17 years as a coach within professional rugby since retirement as a player, moving as Leicester Tigers hooker to forwards coach (2005-2009) and then into the Director of Rugby position, which he held for eight years between 2009-2017. Having won two Premiership titles with Leicester near the start of his time in charge (2009, 2010), Cockerill departed Tigers in 2017 and via a short stint as Toulon head coach in France, next landed the Edinburgh head coaching role, which he held between 2017-2021. After leaving the Scottish capital, Cockerill succeeded Borthwick as Jones's England forwards coach in September 2021. He earned 27 England caps as player but was dropped from the side after criticising Clive Woodward in his book entitled In Your Face. Alex Sanderson, Sale Sharks Director of Rugby A coach highly regarded in English rugby, Alex Sanderson is a name that has been suggested in some quarters, such is his successful body of work. Between 2008 and 2021, Sanderson was part of a Saracens coaching ticket which won all around them, developing a fearsome defence and set-piece. Since January 2021, Sanderson has been the top man at Sale Sharks, and so like Borthwick, his experience in a DoR/head coach role is minimal to this point. That is something likely to work against his name for the position, and when asked about it this week, Sanderson name-checked two former Saracens colleagues: current head coach Mark McCall, and Ireland head coach Andy Farrell. "I think Mark is ready for it now. He's got my vote, he'd be great for it. If Ireland don't want him, maybe they could do a swapsies between Andy Farrell and Mark! I don't know how those things work," Sanderson said. "They're both really good coaches. Any international team would be lucky to have them." With an intention for the next England coach to be English, however, and also for them to be appointed and involved pre the 2023 World Cup in France, both McCall - an Irishman - and Farrell appear to have been ruled out. Jim Mallinder, Scotland performance director A former England academy coach (2004-2007), England Saxons coach (2006-2007) and England performance pathway coach (2018-19), current Scotland Performance Director Jim Mallinder has had his foot in the door with the RFU a number of times in his career to date. As well as his experience within the RFU structure, Mallinder coached Northampton Saints for a decade between 2007-2017, and Sale Sharks between 2001-2004. In his club coaching career he picked up a Challenge Cup success with Sale (2002), as well as Premiership (2014) and Challenge Cup (2009, 2014) successes with Northampton, suffering further Premiership (2013) and European Cup (2011) final defeats too. As someone entwined with all things Scotland rugby these days though, the 53-year-old is highly unlikely to be approached. Andy Farrell, Ireland head coach Perhaps one of the coaches England would most love to have at present is Ireland's Andy Farrell, who is achieving great things across the Irish Sea, both in terms of results and style of play. As mentioned above, the fact Sweeney and O'Shea envision a coach being brought in to monitor/join the set-up ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup would seem to preclude Farrell, but if things go pear-shaped in that plan, Farrell is someone they are likely to enquire about. Now whether Farrell, who was England defence coach between 2011 and 2015 under Stuart Lancaster - also currently working in Ireland with Leinster - and left under a cloud after England's disastrous 2015 home World Cup, would want to return to the RFU is another question. Ireland presented Farrell his route back into the sport in 2016, joining as defence coach under Joe Schmidt, and his regard in the IRFU has only ever been enormously positive. Handed the head coach role after Schmidt's departure, Farrell has taken Ireland to a new level, winning a Triple Crown in the 2022 Six Nations, and destroying the All Blacks in November. An outstanding defence coach with the British and Irish Lions in 2013 and 2017, Farrell's standing is now that of a real top-level coach again, and he has a good thing going with Ireland at the moment. Paul Gustard, Benetton assistant coach A real outside bet, but worthy of inclusion as he was name-checked by O'Shea in recent times. Gustard worked under Eddie Jones as England defence coach between 2016-18, and since then has worked at Harlequins as head coach (2018-2021) and now Benetton in Italy as an assistant. Before that, Gustard worked for Saracens as an extremely successful defence coach between 2009 and 2016. He may be very unlikely to be chosen, but given he has been name-checked by O'Shea, he may well be on the shortlist.

Online recruitment services revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 12.0% to RMB617.7 million (US$96.9 million) compared with RMB551.6 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to an improvement in hiring sentiment, demand and activity from employers in 2021. Other human resource related revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 19.0% to RMB727.5 million (US$114.2 million) from RMB611.5 million for the same quarter in 2020. The growth was primarily driven by robust employer demand for seasonal campus recruitment, business process outsourcing and training services in 2021. Cost of services for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 29.1% to RMB535.2 million (US$84.0 million) from RMB414.5 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses, headcount additions and greater direct costs, such as venue rental, media production and technology support, incurred in providing campus recruitment services to employers. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 8.2% to RMB810.0 million (US$127.1 million) from RMB748.6 million for the same quarter in 2020.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 34.3% to RMB403.6 million (US$63.3 million) from RMB300.6 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses, staff additions and greater spending on advertising and brand awareness campaigns.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 11.3% to RMB101.8 million (US$16.0 million) from RMB91.4 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2021 was RMB304.6 million (US$47.8 million) compared with RMB356.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Company recognized a loss from foreign currency translation of RMB10.9 million (US$1.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with RMB33.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to the impact of the change in exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar on the Company's U.S. dollar cash deposits. The Company recognized a mark-to-market, non-cash loss of RMB10.7 million (US$1.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with RMB9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 associated with a change in fair value of listed equity securities investment in Huali University Group Limited, which is traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Income from operations in 2021 decreased 36.4% to RMB551.3 million (US$86.5 million) from RMB867.1 million in 2020, primarily due to the significant increase in sales and marketing expenses in 2021. Operating margin was 12.5% in 2021 compared with 23.5% in 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expense, operating margin would have been 15.9% in 2021 compared with 27.4% in 2020. Net income attributable to 51job in 2021 was RMB640.7 million (US$100.5 million) compared with RMB1,097.3 million in 2020. Fully diluted earnings per share in 2021 was RMB9.40 (US$1.47) compared with RMB16.12 in 2020. 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, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to 51job in 2021 was RMB894.4 million (US$140.4 million) compared with RMB1,243.9 million in 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was RMB13.12 (US$2.06) in 2021 compared with RMB18.28 in 2020. As of December 31, 2021, cash and short-term investments totaled RMB10,587.0 million (US$1,661.3 million) compared with RMB10,761.9 million as of December 31, 2020. Currency Convenience Translation For the convenience of readers, certain Renminbi amounts have been translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the rate of RMB6.3726 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate on December 30, 2021 in New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. 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.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Federico Motka’s abductors greeted him in English after he and his colleagues were kidnapped near a refugee camp on the Turkish border: “Welcome to Syria, you mutt.” For the Italian aid worker, it was the beginning of 14 months of brutality at the hands of the Islamic State. Motka testified about the ordeal Thursday at the terrorism trial of El Shafee Elsheikh, a British national charged with taking a leading role in an Islamic State kidnapping scheme that took more than 20 Westerners hostage between 2012 and 2015. Four Americans — journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller — were among them. Foley, Sotloff and Kassig were decapitated. Mueller was forced into slavery and raped repeatedly by the Islamic State’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, before she too was killed. Motka is the first surviving hostage to testify at Elsheikh’s trial in Alexandria, Virginia. Born in Trieste, Italy, Motka said he spent much of his childhood in the Middle East and went to boarding school in England. He was an aid worker surveying the needs of refugee camps in March 2013 when he and a colleague, Briton David Haines, were captured and taken hostage. Motka testified that for the first month of captivity, he was only occasionally mistreated, but that mistreatment frequently came at the hands of three captors whom hostages dubbed “the Beatles” because of their British accents. They learned to speak surreptitiously about their captors, who wore masks and took pains to conceal their identity, since they never knew what would set them off. A dispute over bathroom hygiene prompted a particularly intense beating, he said. “They said I was a posh wanker because I went to boarding school,” Motka testified. “They said I was arrogant, and they were going to take me down a peg.” Motka’s use of the term “posh wanker” set off a brief period of uncomfortable laughter in the courtroom, when the judge interrupted and asked what the phrase means, forcing Motka to explain the term’s vulgar meaning of the British idiom. The British accents and phraseology are an important part of the case, though, as prosecutors seek to prove that Elsheikh is indeed one of the Beatles who tortured hostages, even though the Beatles took great pains to conceal their faces. Motka testified that there were at least three Britons in the group of captors, and the hostages nicknamed them “John,” “George” and “Ringo.” Prosecutors have said in court that Elshiekh is the one who was nicknamed Ringo. One way Motka distinguished the three was their preferences for inflicting punishment. “George was more into boxing,” Motka testified. “John, he kicked a lot. Ringo used to talk how he liked wrestling. He would put people in headlocks.” He described one instance when Ringo put James Foley in a headlock so tight that he passed out. Motka also recounted a time in the summer of 2013 when the hostages were held in a facility they nicknamed “the box.” The Beatles excitedly put Motka and his cellmate David Haines in a room with Foley and British hostage John Cantlie for what they called a “Royal Rumble.” “They were super excited about it,” Motka said of the Beatles about the tag-team style fight they imposed on the foursome. “We were so weak and shattered we could barely lift our arms.” The group was told that the losers would be waterboarded. Two of the four passed out during the hour-long battle, Motka said. The Beatles deemed him the loser but never waterboarded him, inflicting a beating instead. As they were transferred to different facilities, Motka said the hostages were sometimes separated from the Beatles for weeks at a time. Those periods were welcome, relatively speaking, because the Beatles were unique in their cruelty, he said. When they were transferred again to a place they nicknamed “the dungeon” and saw that the Beatles were there, “we crapped our pants,” Motka said. “We had just started to relax a little” as the mistreatment had eased in their absence. “The box,” where the Beatles were a regular presence, was one of the worst stretches of captivity. Motka said he and other hostages there endured a lengthy “regime of punishment” that included regular beatings and forced stress positions. “George,” another man named Abu Mohamed and a third nicknamed “the punisher” regularly tortured them, Motka said. “They played lots of games with us,” Motka said, maintaining composure as he clearly struggled with the emotions of describing his captivity. “They gave us dog names. We needed to come and immediately respond” to the dog name to avoid a beating. Motka was not released until May 25, 2014. His 14 months in captivity were the longest of any hostage in the group. Defense lawyers, though, have highlighted the difficulties that hostages have in formally identifying each of their captors, who routinely wore masks that covered all but their eyes. In opening statements, prosecutors referenced only three British nationals — Elsheikh, his longtime friend Alexenda Kotey, and Mohammed Emwazi, who frequently carried out the role of executioner and was known as “Jihadi John.” Emwazi was killed in a drone strike, and Kotey was captured alongside Elsheikh and also brought to Virginia to face trial. Kotey pleaded guilty last year in a plea bargain that calls for a life sentence. Jurors also heard testimony Thursday from Danish hostage negotiator Jens Serup, who testified about prolonged efforts to secure the release of Daniel Rye Ottosen in exchange for 2 million euros. The jury saw photos of huge bruises on Ottosen’s arm and back after he was finally released. Serup testified that the captors told Ottosen the beating was a “farewell present not to forget them.”

The Internet of Things plays a key role in digital transformation. In many cases, organizations realize that they already have a large fleet of legacy IoT devices that have been gradually deployed over the years. Many of these devices may not have been designed with security in mind. One of the biggest concerns of IoT is managing the risks associated with a growing number of IoT devices. Information security and privacy issues related to IoT devices have attracted global attention, because of the ability of these devices to interact with the physical world. IoT vulnerabilities continue to emerge, making it critical for manufacturers to emphasize IoT security by design. IoT vulnerabilities have been discovered and exposed across many industries. These vulnerabilities threaten sensitive data as well as personal safety. Without a doubt, the Internet of Things is a prime target for hackers in 2022, and any organization that produces or uses these devices needs to be prepared.

Biden orders release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from US strategic reserve for six months We need to double down on our commitment to clean energy and tackling the climate crisis with our partners and allies around the world, he said.Later National Economic Council Director Brian Deese told reporters that there are currently 568 million barrels in the reserve, which is in four locations across southern Louisiana and Texas. - Country: - United States US President Joe Biden on Thursday announced to release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve for the next six months as part his efforts to keep the oil prices under control which have been spiralling in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. ''I’m authorizing the release of 1 million barrels per day for the next six months -- over 180 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,” Biden said making the announcement in this regard. “This is a wartime bridge to increase oil supply until production ramps up later this year. And it is by far the largest release from our national reserve in our history,” he said. The revenue generated from selling the oil would be used to restock the Strategic Petroleum Reserve when prices are lower so that the country is ready for future emergencies, he said. Biden said he has been talking to other allies and partners around the world. “Already, we have commitments from other countries to release tens of millions of additional barrels into the market. Together, our combined efforts will supply well over a million barrels a day -- nations coming together to deny Putin the ability to weaponize his energy resources against American families, and families and democracies around the world,” he said. The president also announced plans about declaring real American energy independence in the long term so that the US never has to deal with this problem again. “Ultimately, we and the whole world need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels altogether. We need to choose long-term security over energy and climate vulnerability. We need to double down on our commitment to clean energy and tackling the climate crisis with our partners and allies around the world,” he said. Later National Economic Council Director Brian Deese told reporters that there are currently 568 million barrels in the reserve, which is in four locations across southern Louisiana and Texas. “The President authorized this reserve under his extraordinary emergency powers associated with supply disruptions, which we have seen in the market are associated with Putin's unjustified actions and the reaction from the United States and allies in the world in no longer purchasing Russian oil,” Deese said. According to him, the duration of six months was designed and calibrated to operate a medium-term bridge to the period where they anticipate and expect US production to come back online. “The most estimates based on commitments by companies are that we will see an additional million barrels a day from US industry by about the end of the third quarter of this year. So, the time period operates as a bridge until then,” he said. The United States, he said, has been in touch with several countries including India on the release of strategic reserves. “Our conversations with all countries that have reserves are similar in encouraging them to participate and to contribute, consistent with their available stocks and their circumstances,” Dees said. “We have seen to date a quite extraordinary willingness to participate -- including IEA and non-IEA members -- to participate in those coordinated releases, including the Indian government to date. So, the work of diplomacy and engagement with our allies and partners is aimed to make sure that that continues,” he said. Biden also signed an executive order authorizing the Defense Production Act for usage for the critical materials that go into large-capacity batteries. Biden took this action under Title 3 of the Defense Production Act, which provides for prioritizing and subsidizing the production domestically of key inputs that are critical to national defence. This follows a study by the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin which identified that large-capacity batteries are critical to the national defence and the components that go into them, including lithium and nickel, cobalt, graphite, manganese. “My guess is that's the first time in the White House briefing room someone has said 'manganese.' These are critical minerals. And we are currently vulnerable to unreliable supply chains, which affects our national security. It also affects our economic security as well,” he said.

English sits out Masters while recovering from hip surgery AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Harris English has decided not to play in the Masters next week. He’s still recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum. English won twice on the PGA Tour last year and finished third in the U.S. Open. He has not played since the Sony Open in Honolulu the second week of the year. English says he is progressing well from his hip surgery. He just wants to be cautious as he returns to competition. There are no alternates at the Masters. That puts the field at 90 players with one spot available for the Texas Open winner.

Oscars producer says police offered to arrest Will Smith LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage. “They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment,” Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.” But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea. “He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. “And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.” The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night’s ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer’s interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned. The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television.” Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so. Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary. On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.” The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18. Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.” ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

GOP blocks House bill to ban race-based hair discrimination OK The House fell short of passing legislation on Monday that would prohibit discrimination against people with hair styles associated with a particular race or national origin. Democrats set a vote on the bill, titled the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, or CROWN, Act under a fast-track process used for noncontroversial bills that required a two-thirds supermajority for passage. While the bill clinched a simple majority, 235-188, it did not meet the two-thirds threshold due to GOP opposition. It’s possible that House Democrats will bring up the bill for a vote again later, but under a process where they only need a simple majority to send it to the Senate. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), the bill’s author, argued it’s essential to formally ban hair discrimination because African Americans are often penalized under workplace and school dress code policies for having natural hairstyles such as afros, braids and cornrows. “Far too often, Black people, especially Black women and girls, are derided or deemed unprofessional simply because their hair does not conform to white beauty standards,” Watson Coleman said on the House floor. “Our natural hair is as innate a quality of Black people as the presence of melanin in our skin. Discriminating against our hair is no different is no different than discriminating against the color of our skin,” she said. A 2019 study conducted by the JOY Collective found that Black women were 80 percent more likely to feel that they had to change their hair from its natural state to fit in at the office. The vote on the bill came moments after the House passed legislation to designate lynching as a federal hate crime. Democrats deliberately timed the votes on both bills for Monday, the last day of Black History Month. Republicans questioned the need for new legislation formally banning race-based hair discrimination, arguing that it’s already prohibited under current law. “Democrats are prioritizing this legislation, a bill to prohibit conduct already unlawful under our law, for political messaging reasons. This bill does not address any of the serious problems our country currently faces,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was more derisive. As she cast a proxy vote on behalf of Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) against the legislation, Boebert panned the legislation as “the bad hair bill.” The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Football referee Marius Stones. OFFALY GAA have launched a recruitment drive in a bid to attract new football and hurling referees. “As the saying goes, put your whistle where your mouth is,” urged one of Offaly's best known referees, Brian Gavin as he appealed to interested people of all ages to enrol for forthcoming training courses. Clara man Gavin reached the pinnacle, taking charge of a couple of All-Ireland senior hurling finals and in a recruitment video launched on Thursday evening, he spoke about the enjoyment he got out of refereeing and the positive impact it had on his life. Killeigh man Adam Kinahan stated that he started refereeing seven years ago as Offaly was short of referees at the time and his club Clodiagh Gaels didn't have one. He refereed the Offaly senior hurling final in 2020 and the Leinster minor hurling semi-final last year. He spoke about the shortage of referees and promised that interested people won't regret it. One of the newest football referees in Offaly is Tullamore man, Kevin Williamson, who played senior football with his club up to a couple of years ago and won a junior football medal last year. A developing referee with plenty of potential, he said he took it up because he was looking at a way to stay involved in football after he stopped playing and refereeing was a good option for him. “I found it very enjoyable and it is a good way for me to keep fit as well,” he said. He stated that his knowledge of the game has improved since he started refereeing and he has met some great people in various clubs. Williamson encouraged people to do the referee's course, promising that they would love it. Experienced hurling referee Kieran Dooley, Drumcullen said he has enjoyed every minute of his refereeing career, taking charge of two senior hurling finals. He hoped newcomers would enjoy it as much as he has. At the moment Offaly has approximately forty active referees, a reduction from a high of 56 at one time and they really need newcomers to spread the workload. A three week course will take place after which referees will be qualified to take charge of games. The games programme in Offaly at adult and underage level has really increased in recent years and attracting new referees is pivotal to ensuring this can continue to be run. It is also a great social outlet and a way to keep fit. Organised physical training takes place every second Monday evening in Faithful Fields, Kilcormac and clips of games is an important element of this where referees are shown both good and bad decisions by counterparts at county level. Questionaires take place on the night and ongoing assessment and guidance is available to both newcomers and established referees. Dates and the venue for the course will be announced soon and anyone interested should contact Dennis Hoctor (Referee Coordinator) 087 2593519 Brian Gavin (Chairman of Referees Committee) 087-2411986, Damien Brazil 085-1745996, or email refereesadministrator.offaly@gaa.ie Subscribe or register today to discover more from DonegalLive.ie Buy the e-paper of the Donegal Democrat, Donegal People's Press, Donegal Post and Inish Times here for instant access to Donegal's premier news titles.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is naming actor Taraji P. Henson and the NBA’s Chris Paul to a presidential advisory board on historically Black colleges and universities. They are among nine men and nine women Biden is appointing to the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the White House announced Thursday. Several HBCU presidents, the president of United Airlines and the first Black woman to become administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency are among Biden’s selections. They will join Tony Allen, the president of Delaware State University, and Glenda Glover, the president of Tennessee State University, who are serving, respectively, as chairperson and vice chairperson of the board, which was established during the Carter administration. Henson is a Washington, D.C., native who studied acting at Howard University, a historically Black school and the alma mater of Vice President Kamala Harris. Paul is a 12-time NBA All-Star with the Phoenix Suns and two-time Olympic gold medalist. Besides Allen and Glover, the presidents of five other HBCUs will also join the board. They are Virginia State University, Norfolk State University in Virginia, Alabama State University, Prairie View A&M University in Texas and Dillard University in New Orleans. Lisa Jackson, who became the EPA’s first Black administrator in the Obama administration, and United Airlines President Brett Hart will also join the board. Biden also intends to appoint Paige Blake, a 20-year-old junior at Bowie State University, an HBCU in Maryland. The White House said the administration has committed $5.8 billion in support to these historically Black colleges and universities through a combination of pandemic relief funding, grants and forgiving capital improvement debt.

Falcons sign former Lions safety Marlowe to 1-year contract FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Safety Dean Marlowe, who set a career high with 67 tackles while starting nine games for Detroit in 2021, has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old Marlowe began his career by playing three seasons with Carolina before two seasons with Buffalo. Marlowe may compete with second-year player Richie Grant, a second-round draft pick in 2021, for a starting job. Marlowe had two interceptions with Buffalo in 2020. The Falcons have made their secondary a focus in free agency. They also signed former Raiders cornerback Casey Hayward and former Chicago cornerback Teez Tabor.

Springdale elementary school back to class after tornado SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KAIT) - School was back in session for Springdale students Thursday after an EF-3 tornado damaged the George Elementary gym and playground. Content partner KNWA said there were hugs all around in the hallways as students and teachers were still processing the damage to their school. A person told KNWA that was used to be their gym looked like “a warzone.” School counselor Erika Fuentes said the quick return was necessary, because “school is a safe and happy place for many.” “It feels like a lot of things changed overnight,” she said. “And if we can provide some sense of normalcy in some routine that they’re accustomed to, they’re gonna adjust so much better that way.” Fuentes said the move is helpful for parents still looking at the damage to their homes, as they want their kids to have a safe place to go to during the day. Principal Justin Swope told KNWA they brought in engineers and the fire department to ensure the building with all the classrooms was safe. Both Swope and Fuentes said the day was filled with emotion. “It was great to see smiling faces,” Swope said. “They’re obviously probably still shocked and just processing what they went through yesterday.” Fuentes said they saw tears of sadness and joy as students were able to see their friends back at school. As students get used to having a recess in the classroom or no PE class, Fuentes said being open about their emotions for the coming week will be crucial. Swope told KNWA they don’t expect the gym to be rebuilt this year, but they will be looking into other ways for kids to blow off steam, like moving PE and recess into the cafeteria or nearby outdoor spaces.

Japan will act appropriately on oil reserves release -industry minister Japan will act appropriately on oil reserves release while closely watching global developments, the industry minister said on Friday, ahead of a meeting by International Energy Agency (IEA) member countries later in the day. U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Thursday the largest release ever from the U.S. emergency oil reserve and challenged oil companies to drill more in an attempt to bring down gasoline prices that have soared during Russia's war with Ukraine. "It is not clear whether the release will be done by the U.S. alone or the United States will make a proposal at the IEA meeting," Japanese industry minister Koichi Hagiuda told a news conference. "In any case, we would like to act appropriately while keeping an eye on the international situation," he said.
