TODAY British workers and their families face the biggest attack on their living standards since records of cost of living increases were first recorded in 1956.
From today, a whole raft of massive increases take place as council tax bills soar and the Tories increase in the energy price cap kicks in.
Energy bills will increase by an average of £693, pushing bills up to nearly £2,000 with further increases promised next October while council tax bills from today are set to hit £2,000 a year.
Yesterday, the telecoms companies started to increase charges for broadband and mobile phone contracts.
Broadband bills will go up on average by £46 and mobile phone bills estimated to increase by £28.85 as the telecom giants impose inflation-busting increases to drive up profits.
On April 6th, the Tories will inflict another massive hit on the lives of workers when Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s National Insurance tax hike comes into effect. This tax on workers wages will cost a typical household £95.30 a month.
Earlier this week, the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, warned soaring energy prices in the UK were a real ‘historic shock’ to incomes and the living standards far greater than in any previous year including the world oil crisis in the 1970s.
Bailey in the past has laid the blame for inflation running out of control firmly on the backs of workers and the trade unions insisting that they must not demand big pay rises as this only fuelled inflation.
Bailey wants workers to accept poverty and not fight for wages to defend their living standards, in order to rescue a capitalist system that is plunging into recession.
From today, the ‘shock’ of energy prices spiralling out control driving up inflation – that already stands at a thirty-year high of 8.7% and is predicted to go into double figures this year – will become even greater as everything from energy, food, council tax and phone bills go shooting up.
The depth of the crisis facing working class families was brought out in a report by the New Economic Foundation (NEF) which found that following these price increases in April 23.4 million people in the UK will be more than £8,500 a year worse off when it comes to paying for necessities like heating, food and clothes.
Half the children in the UK will be in families that cannot afford the sky-rocketing cost of living and be forced to sacrifice essentials like putting food on the table.
Even before the huge surge in the cost of living hit today, it is clear that millions of workers and young people have been forced to turn to credit cards and other high cost loans just to survive.
This week, the Bank of England published data showing credit card borrowing jumped by £1.5 billion in February – the highest monthly amount on record.
With record inflation, cuts to Universal Credit benefits and wage increases being far outstripped by price increases, the point has been reached where the working class has no option but to take action to defend itself from a capitalist system that is trying to drive them into acute poverty, demanding they sacrifice their families to keep the bosses and bankers in profit.
Already across the country workers from university lecturers, council and transport workers are taking strike action over pay and in defence of their pensions and conditions.
The working class and young people are clearly not prepared to passively accept pauperisation as the price to pay for keeping this dying capitalist system staggering on into recession and economic collapse.
With British capitalism reaching a crisis point today the immediate issue is for workers to demand that their unions respond by going on the offensive by calling a general strike to kick out the Tory government and bring in a workers’ government and socialism.
A workers’ government will expropriate the bosses and bankers and build a nationalised, planned socialist economy that can offer a future for workers and young people today.
Only the WRP and Young Socialists are building the leadership required to take the fast-developing socialist revolution to victory. Join today. | https://wrp.org.uk/editorials/historic-shock-of-inflation-will-drive-workers-and-youth-to-socialist-revolution/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=historic-shock-of-inflation-will-drive-workers-and-youth-to-socialist-revolution | 2022-04-01T01:26:22Z |
Customer-facing departments participated in expert-led educational sessions, underscoring commitment to promoting responsible gambling habits
DENVER, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, PointsBet and its employees participated in Problem Gambling Awareness Month, a national campaign designed to increase awareness of problem gambling and offer prevention, treatment, and recovery services.
In the spirit of this year's theme, Awareness + Action, PointsBet hosted educational sessions for all its customer-facing departments. The trainings were designed to generate awareness of problem gambling and empower staff with clear strategies on how to identify and address problem gambling. Sessions were led in consultation with department heads to ensure staff would have a clear understanding of how their roles uniquely position them to recognize problem gambling red flags through a path of escalation regarding observed red flags.
"Responsible and problem gambling education for our staff is far more than just fulfilling a regulatory requirement," said Johnny Aitken, PointsBet USA Chief Executive Officer. "It is about sparking genuine dialogue and empowering our teams to discuss responsible gambling with our customers. We are proud to participate in Problem Gambling Awareness Month for the third consecutive year and look forward to our continued support of this important initiative in the years to come."
This month's trainings were part of an ongoing responsible gambling education plan, which includes an introductory level training for all new hires as part of the onboarding process, lived experience training, and responsible gambling presentations delivered during company-wide town hall meetings.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese Australian journalist Cheng Lei went on trial in Beijing on Thursday on espionage charges, with diplomats denied permission to attend the proceedings.
Australian Ambassador Graham Fletcher told reporters outside the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court that he was told he could not be present on the grounds that the trial involved state secrets.
“This is deeply concerning, unsatisfactory and very regrettable,” Fletcher said. “We can have no confidence in the validity of the process which is conducted in secret.”
Australia will continue to advocate for Cheng’s rights and interests in accordance with the consular agreement between China and Australia, Fletcher said.
Trials in China are typically completed in one day. Cheng and her defense lawyer were present at the trial and a verdict will be announced at a later date, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said.
“Australian citizen Cheng Lei is suspected of committing the crime of illegally providing state secrets to foreign countries, and the case involves state secrets, so the court held the trial in a closed session in accordance with the law,” Wang said at a daily ministry briefing.
“The parties concerned should earnestly respect China’s judicial sovereignty and refrain from interfering in the law-based handling of cases by Chinese judicial organs in any way,” he said.
Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne said in a statement that while Australia respects the sovereignty of China’s legal system, Cheng’s case has “lacked transparency and the Australian Government has never been provided with details of the charges.”
Since Cheng’s detention, the Australian government has “consistently stated the fundamental importance of procedural fairness, basic standards of justice and China’s international legal obligations,” Payne said. “Following Ms. Cheng’s trial, we renew our calls for China to uphold these principles and to allow Ms. Cheng unimpeded access to her lawyer.”
Cheng’s family said they had been informed of the trial and thanked Australia’s diplomats for their support.
“Her two children and elderly parents miss her immensely and sincerely hope to reunite with her as soon as possible,” they said in a statement that was forwarded by Australia’s Foreign Ministry.
Payne said Cheng had the right to speak with her children.
“Australia stands by Ms. Cheng and her family at this difficult time,” she said.
A former presenter for state-owned China Global Television Network, Cheng has been held for 19 months on suspicion of relaying state secrets abroad.
China has not provided any specifics about what offenses Cheng is accused of committing.
“We have no information about the charges or allegations against Ms. Cheng,” Fletcher said. “That is part of the reason we are so concerned.”
China’s state security statutes are notoriously vague and the ruling Communist Party is frequently accused of using them to silence political enemies or other critics.
Her trial comes amid prolonged tensions between China and Australia over trade, Chinese foreign policy moves, accusations of Chinese meddling in Australian politics and Australia’s call for a thorough investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in China.
Australian diplomats last visited Cheng in detention on March 21 and Fletcher said she appeared to be “doing OK.”
Cheng has been unable to speak with her two sons in Australia, although she has been able to choose her own lawyers and Australian diplomats were “satisfied” regarding her welfare, Fletcher said.
China does not recognize dual citizenship and Chinese-born defendants are often not afforded the same treatment as other foreign nationals, particularly when facing espionage charges.
The Committee to Protect Journalists listed China as the leading jailer of journalists in 2021 for the third year in a row, with 50 behind bars.
In a joint statement Wednesday, Australia’s Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance, the International Federation of Journalists, the Australian National Press Club and its U.S. counterpart called for Cheng’s release, saying she was being held on “dubious charges that have yet to be substantiated with any evidence.” | https://www.yourerie.com/news/international/china-opens-espionage-trial-of-chinese-australian-journalist/ | 2022-04-01T01:26:21Z |

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.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Whoa! It's a Double Aho!
Both NHL players named Sebastian Aho — one a defenseman for the New York Islanders, the other a forward for the Carolina Hurricanes — scored goals for their teams Thursday night.
And at nearly the exact same time.
According to Sportsnet Stats, the Islanders' Aho scored his first goal of the season at 7:14 p.m. EDT in New York against Columbus.
Just 34 seconds later — and more than 500 miles away — the Hurricanes' Aho scored his 31st goal in Carolina against Montreal. Both gave their teams 1-0 leads in the first period.
It's not the first time the two have combined on a statistical oddity. In 2018, New York's Aho committed a hooking penalty on Carolina's Aho, causing MSG Networks Islanders play-by-play broadcaster Brendan Burke to exclaim: "A little Sebastian Aho-on-Sebastian Aho crime.”
The two Ahos are not related, by the way. The Islanders' Aho, Sebastian Johannes Aho, is 26 and from Sweden. He has three career NHL goals in limited action.
The Hurricanes' Aho, Sebastian Antero Aho, is 24 and from Finland. He's a two-time NHL All-Star and has 176 career goals.

The city’s 2023 Bond Advisory Committee will continue to review potential projects to recommend for the preliminary design phase and consideration by the City Council when it meets at 6 p.m. Monday at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center at 375 S. Castell Ave.
Note that the location of Monday’s meeting differs from the location stated in a March 23 Herald-Zeitung story.
The 24-member board began the process of finalizing the recommended list on March 21, as they were asked to prioritize projects using online surveys set up by contractor Freese & Nichols.
The survey also included comment boxes to allow for additional project suggestions.
One of the surveys tasked members to rank projects, while the other asked members to prioritize projects within a $180 million budget.
Potential projects that scored high based on the results of both survey exercises included Fire Station No. 5 expansion, Barbarosa Road/Saur Lane Phase 1 from FM 1101 to Saengerhalle Road, Common Street pedestrian improvements from Liberty Avenue to Loop 337, Southeast library branch, Citywide intersection improvements, Common Street from Loop 337 to FM 306, Conrads Lane from Goodwin Lane to the city limits, Kohlenberg Road from FM 1101 to I-35, Landa Lake Dam and Spillway improvements, Mission Hill Park phase 2, Fire Department ladder truck replacement, Citywide intersection improvements, Alligator Creek linear park and trail (west section), South Kowald Lane from FM 1101 to I-35, Public safety radio replacement, Citywide pedestrian improvements, North-South Collector phase 1 from I-35 to FM 1101, Downtown right-of-way enhancements, Landa Park circulation improvements, Gruene Road from New Braunfels Street to Rock Street and Orion Drive from Goodwin Lane to the city limits.
No projects are off the table and some potential projects still on the committee’s radar, based on suggestions and public input, include Cypress Bend Park, Comal River improvements such as Wier Dam, safety at the last tuber exit and the Tube Chute, the Dry Comal Creek Greenway Trail, Faust Street Bridge, a pedestrian and bike crossing on Loop 337 between Veramendi and New Braunfels High School, land acquisition for future fire stations and neighborhood parks, a bridge over the Guadalupe River east of I-35, a combined library with a second modified DasRec and river safety projects.
Once the committee creates a recommended project list for consideration for a proposed 2023 bond, City Council members will review the recommendations and direct staff on projects that need further development.
The projects will also undergo a preliminary engineering study to verify constructability and identify preliminary project costs.

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.

USDA forecasting higher food, grocery costs in 2022
(Gray News) - It looks like elevated food prices are going to continue this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The USDA released its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and predicted the cost of groceries would continue to increase to as much as 4%.
According to the Consumer Price Index, grocery and supermarket food prices were already 8.6% higher in February than last year and up nearly 1.5% from January to February in 2022.
As reported by the Associated Press, prices for U.S. consumers have continued to jump recently, leaving families facing the highest inflation rate since 1990.
“We’re getting into this situation where we have spiraling inflation,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “Inflation in one area drives inflation in another.”
Currently, the CPI reports all food categories are increasing in price other than fresh vegetables. Last year, the beef and veal categories had the most significant price increase of 9.3%, and the fresh vegetable category had the smallest at 1.1%. However, no food categories decreased in price in 2021.
Poultry prices are also expected to increase up to 7%, with egg prices predicted to increase up to 3.5% in 2022.
Overall, grocery store and supermarket food purchases are expected to increase up to 4%, with restaurant purchases or food away from home forecasted to increase up to 6.5%, according to the USDA.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Authorities discovered the remains of an 18-year-old northern Nevada woman who was kidnapped over two weeks ago, officials said.
The Lyon County sheriff’s office said late Wednesday that investigators acting on a tip about the disappearance of Naomi Irion found a gravesite in a remote part of northern Nevada on Tuesday. An autopsy on Wednesday confirmed the body was Irion, the sheriff said in a statement.
Earlier Wednesday, a 41-year-old man with a violent criminal record was charged with first-degree kidnapping. A judge in rural Lyon County left Troy Driver’s bail unchanged during a brief court hearing Wednesday. It had been set at $750,000 after his Friday arrest.
Driver, of Fernley, has yet to enter a plea. He was arraigned from jail Wednesday via Zoom.
Justice of the Peace Lori Matheus said Driver will have to wear a GPS monitoring device if he posts a bond.
Driver has been held at the Lyon County Jail in Yerington as a suspect in what authorities say was Irion’s kidnapping.
She was last seen around 5:25 a.m. March 12 in her car in a Walmart parking lot in Fernley about 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Reno. Security video showed a masked man wearing a hooded sweatshirt get into her car.
Driver abducted her “on or about March 12” and “did hold or detain her for the purpose of committing sexual assault and/or purpose of killing her,” according to the two-page criminal complaint filed Wednesday in Lyon County’s Canal Township Justice Court.
The FBI offered a $10,000 reward for information to locate Irion. Hundreds of volunteers have joined searches during the past two weeks, looking for clues in a vast desert area.
Irion lived in Fernley with her older brother, Casey Valley, who told reporters after the hearing that the family was “all in shock” that any bail was set.
Irion’s vehicle was found three days after she went missing near a paint manufacturing facility in an industrial park along Interstate 80 not far from the store.
Valley said earlier his sister usually catches a bus from the Walmart lot to work at a Reno-area Panasonic facility. Valley said she never arrived at work and he contacted family members and authorities when Irion didn’t return home that weekend.
Matheus set a court date for Driver next Tuesday, and a preliminary hearing April 12 to decide if there is evidence for Driver to be tried in state court. He could face life in prison without parole if he is convicted.
His defense lawyer, Mario Walther, did not immediately respond to requests for comment following the hearing.
Several news outlets have reported that Driver was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in a 1997 murder case in Northern California.
Mendocino County Court records show he pleaded guilty that summer to robbery, burglary and firearms charges as well as to being an accessory to a felony after the fact.
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Dana Simas said in an email to The Associated Press he was sentenced to 15 years on those charges on Aug. 19, 1997, was released to state parole supervision in 2012 and discharged from parole supervision in 2014.
Before authorities announced that her body had been identified, Valley told reporters Wednesday that family members appreciate the support from the community and praised efforts by sheriff’s deputies and federal agents to find his sister.
“Lyon County and the FBI are working very hard,” he said. “I wish there was more and everybody does.”

HOLLYWOOD (CNS) – A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be unveiled Thursday honoring the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the latest honor for the band inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 and the recipient of six Grammys.
All four members of the band — lead vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante — are set to speak at the 11:30 a.m. ceremony in front of Amoeba Music where they will give the first music performance at its new Hollywood location next Thursday.
Emmy-winning actor Woody Harrelson, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame funk singer George Clinton and singer turned chemical dependency counselor Bob Forrest are also set to speak. The ceremony will be streamed on the Walk of Fame’s website, www.walkoffame.com.
The star is the 2,717th since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the first 1,558 stars.
Red Hot Chili Peppers were selected for a star in 2008 but just scheduled the ceremony “a few months ago,” Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, told City News Service.
The ceremony comes one day before the release of the band’s first studio album since 2016, “Unlimited Love,” its first recording with Frusciante since 2006.
Formed in 1983 by Kiedis, Flea (who was born Michael Peter Balzary), guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons, classmates at Fairfax High School, Red Hot Chili Peppers have sold 80 million albums, generated 5 billion YouTube views, and gathered 22 billion Spotify streams, averaging 21 million monthly listeners on the platform.
Smith has been with the band since 1988. Frusciante also joined in 1988, left in 1992, rejoined 1998, left in 2009 and rejoined again in 2019.
Red Hot Chili Peppers have received 16 Grammy nominations, the first in 1990 for best rock performance by a duo or group with vocal for the single “Higher Ground.” They won their first Grammy in 1993 for best hard rock performance with vocal for “Give It Away.”
Their other Grammys came in 2000 for best rock song for “Scar Tissue” and in 2007 for best rock performance by a duo or group with vocal and best rock song, both for “Dani California,” and best rock album and best boxed or special limited edition package, both for “Stadium Arcadium.”

CHINA’S embassy in Brussels has warned NATO against dragging the planet towards a new Cold War through its ‘outdated security’ strategies.
A spokesperson for the Chinese representation in the European Union (EU) said in a statement on Saturday that the ‘world’s largest military alliance, NATO, follows an outdated security concept’.
‘It has been expanding its geographical scope and range of operations and is using Cold War tactics to provoke bloc rivalry.’
‘We must stay on high alert and say no to a “new Cold War”,’ said the spokesperson, whose name was not mentioned in the reports.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has told his American counterpart, Joe Biden, that the ongoing war in Ukraine has to end as soon as possible.
Speaking at a NATO summit, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said China was encouraging ‘Russia with political support, including by spreading blatant lies and misinformation.’
The NATO leaders also issued a joint statement after the summit, calling on all states, including China, to ‘refrain from any action that helps Russia circumvent sanctions’.
The Chinese embassy said the language was intended to ‘fan the flames to stir up trouble’.
‘We feel it necessary to remind NATO once again to have a thorough and accurate understanding of China’s longstanding and consistent position,’ it added.
The spokesperson said that following the eruption of the conflict in Ukraine, Beijing has been ‘working actively and constructively’ to assist peace talks. ‘Time will prove that China is on the right side of history.
‘In the meantime, what has NATO done? Anyone without prejudice would come to a fair conclusion.’
The United States and its European allies have imposed sanctions on Russia, ranging from an overseas assets freeze on the Russian central bank to a ban on Russian exports of crude oil, in the wake of Russia’s ‘special military operation’, which was launched on February 24th.
China says the sanctions are unilateral and not authorised by the United Nations Security Council.
The world’s second-biggest economy, China has developed close ties with Russia in recent years.
The two world powers issued a lengthy 5,000-word statement early in February against the expansion of NATO, calling the US-led military alliance a relic of the Cold War.
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was in China on Wednesday for talks on Afghanistan, marking his first visit to the Asian country since Moscow launched a military operation in Ukraine last month.
The Russian embassy in Beijing confirmed in a post on its Weibo social media account on Wednesday that Lavrov had landed in the eastern city of Huangshan, posting photos of delegates descending from a plane and being met by health officials in hazmat suits.
Lavrov attended the third edition of a gathering of the foreign ministers of Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries in Tunxi, an ancient town in East China’s Anhui province.
Top diplomats or representatives from Pakistan, Iran, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are scheduled to attend the event.
Taliban acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, was also present at the gathering hosted by China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Qatar and Indonesia attended as guests.
The event’s first and second editions were respectively hosted by Pakistan and the Islamic Republic last year.
According to China’s foreign ministry, the Russian foreign minister also took part in a separate meeting of the ‘Extended Troika’ with special envoys on Afghanistan from China and the United States.
‘China, the US, Russia and Pakistan are all countries with significant influence on the Afghan issue,’ Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said of the Troika meeting at a regular press conference on Tuesday.
Afghanistan has been in turmoil since the Taliban, who had previously ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, took power again on August 15 last year and subsequently announced the formation of a caretaker government.
The group’s resurgence came amidst the hasty and chaotic departure of American forces from the Central Asian country.
The United States and its allies have largely suspended their financial assistance to Afghanistan, adding fuel to a refugee crisis that has dramatically affected Afghanistan’s neighbours.
The administration of US President Joe Biden has frozen nearly $9.5 billion in assets belonging to the Afghan central bank since the withdrawal of its occupation forces.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have also suspended activities in Afghanistan, withholding aid as well as $340 million in new reserves issued by the IMF.
Columbia University political scientist Alexander Cooley, an expert on Central Asia, said China will seek to position itself as the leading champion for humanitarian assistance and economic development projects in Afghanistan at this week’s gatherings, adding that it will openly call for the US to unfreeze the Afghan government’s assets and accounts.
Meanwhile, Russia’s offensive against Ukraine is also likely to loom large over proceedings.
Western leaders have stepped up pressure on Russia over its military operation in Ukraine, agreeing to increase military aid to Kiev and tighten their sanctions on Moscow.
It is not clear whether Lavrov and his Chinese counterpart will meet outside of the Afghanistan talks.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine on February 24. The conflict has provoked a unanimous response from Western countries, which have imposed a long list of sanctions on Moscow.
Unlike many Western countries, China has refused to condemn Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.
Beijing has repeatedly voiced opposition to the sanctions, insisting it will maintain normal economic and trade exchanges with Russia.
On Monday, Lavrov said Russia’s relations with China are at their strongest level ever, at a time when Western nations are seeking to isolate Moscow with unprecedented sanctions over Ukraine.
- Russia’s lead negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, said on Wednesday that Ukraine agreed in principle to officially become a neutral country. Ukraine’s bid to join NATO was one of the reasons Moscow said it launched a military campaign against the country last month.
Medinsky made his statement a day after the sides held a peace summit in Istanbul, Turkey. He said the Ukrainian team presented a draft roadmapping a future peace deal.
‘Yesterday, for the first time, the Ukrainian party announced, not only orally but also in written form, that it’s ready to fulfil a number of the most important conditions for building normal, and, hopefully, good-neighbourly relations with Russia in the future.
‘Let me remind you that after the 2014 coup d’état in Ukraine, Russia has been making these demands to the Kiev regime, to its patrons, especially the United States, for years.
‘Russia proposed negotiations, proposed to conclude various kinds of agreements that were supposed to guarantee Ukraine’s security and provide Russia’s national interests in this area.
‘All these demands had been ignored for years. And the North Atlantic Alliance has also been creating an anti-Russian foothold from Ukraine, more precisely, from Ukrainian territory, for years.
‘Ukraine’s entry into NATO, the creation of NATO military bases on its territory seemed to be a settled issue. It was a matter of time.
‘I’ll note, and this has already been proven, that there were also efforts on creating biological weapons. Moreover, the issue of Ukraine’s acquisition of nuclear weapons was also made public knowledge.
‘All these years, the Kiev regime has carried out an open genocide against the residents of Donbass.
‘There’s a lot of evidence for this. There’s irrefutable evidence that Kiev was planning to launch an offensive against Donbass in the near future. In that case Russia would have had to stand up for tens and tens of thousands of our Russian citizens living there anyway.
‘Under these circumstances, Russia was forced to launch a pre-emptive special military operation.
‘Yesterday, for the first time in all these years, the Kiev authorities declared that they are ready to negotiate with Russia and conveyed the provisions of a possible future agreement, which states the following:
- The refusal to join NATO, fixation of Ukraine’s bloc-free status.
- The renunciation of nuclear weapons.
- An obligation to conduct troop exercises only with the consent of the guarantor states, which must include Russia.
‘That is, Ukraine stated that it’s ready to fulfil these demands that Russia has been insisting on all these years.
‘If all these obligations are fulfilled, the threat of creating a NATO bridgehead on Ukrainian territory will be eliminated. That’s why it’s so important to agree upon this treaty at the highest level. However, the negotiations and our work continue.
‘I’d like to stress that Russia’s position regarding Crimea and Donbass remains the same.’ | https://wrp.org.uk/features/china-accuses-nato-of-provoking-new-cold-war/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=china-accuses-nato-of-provoking-new-cold-war | 2022-04-01T01:26:28Z |
- Full year 2021 results include revenue of $612.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $60.0 million
- Reported 24-month backlog at the end of Q4 2021 was $2.1 Billion, an increase of 22.0% over year end 2020
- Fourth quarter 2021 results include revenue of $147.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million
- Successfully completed four acquisitions and added significant new contract awards
BLUE BELL, Pa., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- QualTek Services Inc. ("QualTek" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: QTEK), a leading turnkey provider of infrastructure services to the North American 5G wireless, telecom, power grid modernization, and renewable energy sectors, announced today a strong 2021 fourth quarter and full-year financial results of its subsidiary QualTek HoldCo, LLC.
Fourth quarter 2021 revenue was up 11.0% to $147.1 million, compared to $132.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2021 was $81.1 million compared to net loss from continuing operations of $56.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding one-time impairment of goodwill, Net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2021 was $28.6 million compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $27.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA was $4.0 million compared to a loss of $13.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $2.1 billion which is a 22% increase over the fourth quarter 2020.
Full year 2021 revenue was $612.2 million, a decline of 6.7% from $656.5 million for the full year 2020. Net loss from continuing operations for 2021 was $101.6 million compared to net loss from continuing operations of $94.2 million in 2020. Excluding one-time impairment of goodwill, Net loss from continuing operations for 2021 improved to $49.1 million compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $65.4 million in 2020. Full year 2021 adjusted EBITDA increased 356.9% to $60.0 million, compared to $13.1 million for the full year 2020. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by margin improvement initiatives across both the Telecom and Renewables & Recovery segments. On a pro-forma basis, assuming the recently closed acquisitions had been owned for the full year ending December 31, 2021, QualTek estimates adjusted EBITDA would be approximately 72.0 million. For the full year 2022, guidance remains unchanged.
As QualTek has indicated in the past, strong industry tailwinds including grid modernization and infrastructure improvements along with the C-band spectrum deployment are expected to drive major 5G infrastructure buildouts and provide significant growth opportunities across the business. The company is also seeing reductions in COVID-19 health and safety protocols in key regions allowing for a return to pre-covid scale and efficiency. QualTek expects continued growth in both segments during 2022 and beyond.
Scott Hisey, QualTek's Chief Executive Officer, said, "2021 was a critical year for the company. We successfully closed our SPAC transaction creating over $80 million of additional liquidity to allow us to execute on our strategic growth plan. Full year 2021 adjusted EBITDA grew to $60.0 million, a $47 million increase from 2020. QualTek remains on a path to be a significant industry player across the telecommunications and power industries. We successfully grew our rolling two-year backlog by 22% to $2.1 billion during the year. This growth is a testament to our strong performance and our customer's reliance on QualTek to play a critical role in building out 5G networks and participating in the long-term grid modernization initiatives. We are very excited for the future of QualTek."
Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, April 1, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call-in number for the conference call is 1 (888) 330 – 2454 or 1 (240) 789 - 2714 using passcode 2965812. Additionally, the call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed and replayed through the investor relations section of the Company's website at qualtekservices.com.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Russell Knox recorded four straight birdies on the back nine and fired a 7-under 65 on Thursday for a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Valero Texas Open.
Knox closed out his round with a seven-foot putt to save par at the par-5 18th at TPC San Antonio, and was one shot ahead of Rasmus Hojgaard.
Hojgaard fired a 66 despite a double bogey on his final hole. Matt Kuchar is another stroke back after an opening 5-under 67 and is among a group that includes Denny McCarthy, Aaron Rei and J.J. Spaun.
Defending champ Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy finished at even-par 72. They were outside the top 60 after one round and could flirt with the cut line on Friday.
Bryson DeChambeau had a 1-over 73. After holing a bunker shot for eagle on his 11th hole and following with a birdie on the next, he made bogey on four of his last six holes.
Knox, a 32-year-old Scotsman with two career PGA Tour wins, started his birdie streak at No. 12. All of his birdie putts were inside 10 feet. At the 15th, he was about 20 feet away from a back pin position following his approach and chipped in from the fringe. It was his second chip-in in the round.
“That was one of those kind of bonus birdies that you need when you’re going to have a good day,” Knox said. “Obviously thrilled with the round. It’s been more of the way I want to play.”
Hogjaard, a 21-year-old from Denmark and two-rime winner on the European Tour, had his sights on the first-round lead heading to his closing hole. But, his drive sailed well left of the fairway. It took him four shots to reach the green on the par-4 ninth.
“I had to chip sideways back into the fairway,” he said. “Just was a little too aggressive after that. Yeah, short-sided myself and I didn’t get up and down and suddenly you walk away with double-bogey. Yeah, that was a bit annoying, but it happens.”
Kuchar was 5 under after 11 holes. Thirty feet away from the pin on the next hole, he failed to get up and down and missed a seven-foot putt for par. He got a shot back with a birdie on his 14th hole, and parred out, falling short in a bid to match his season-best round of 64 at the Sony Open, where he finished in the top 10.
“A lot of good and bad that can happen here on this course,” Kuchar said. “I was kind of managing early on in the round and then found a little something on about the fifth or sixth hole. I started having some birdie chances and converted on a few late in my first nine.”
Kuchar has won nine times on the PGA Tour. McCarthy, Rai and Spaun are looking for their first.

A 38-year-old suspect led several law enforcement agencies on a 1½ hour chase that initiated in Schertz, continued though Comal County and wound up in an undeveloped part of the Veramendi subdivision on Tuesday.
David Ferguson, city communications coordinator, said New Braunfels police got a call from Schertz police around 9:26 a.m. Tuesday, warning of a suspect headed into town.
“We got a call from them on an incident with a stolen white BMW that was last seen traveling on Interstate 35 and Farm-to-Market Road 3009 then into the New Braunfels area at a high rate of speed,” he said.
Ferguson said the suspect led units from FM 3009 onto several side roads before heading east into New Braunfels on FM 1863, and took a left onto State Highway 46 West. Units from the Comal County Sheriff’s Office, Constable’s offices and Texas Department of Public Safety joined NBPD units as the suspect vehicle weaved in and out of traffic.
“He was passing other vehicles, nearly hitting some, and actively evading officers,” Ferguson said.
Several onlookers later posted comments on their close calls with the BMW, which took the 2722 exit and quickly reentered SH 46 traveling westbound at a high rate of speed. Ferguson said the suspect took a left onto Herbelin Road, and wound back onto SH 46, this time heading east into New Braunfels.
Ferguson said the suspect took a left at Oak Run Parkway, leading lawmen through streets near Veramendi Elementary and wound up in a vacant portion of the subdivision, where streets were lined in dirt but not yet paved ahead of the next round of homes.
“There were subdivision roads without houses around them,” Ferguson said. “The vehicle pulled into one inside a cul-de-sac, and an officer performed a PIT maneuver to get it to come to a stop.”
After crashing the car into the police unit, Ferguson said officers conducted a felony traffic stop.
“The suspect did not immediately exit the vehicle and ignored verbal commands,” Ferguson said. “He was placing items inside his mouth. Eventually he opened the door and was extracted and placed into custody without further incident.”
Ferguson said New Braunfels Fire Department EMS paramedics were called after it was determined the items the suspect was placing in his mouth were narcotics, in particular, methamphetamine.
“He was transported to Christus-New Braunfels Hospital, where he was medically cleared, then taken to the Comal County Jail.”
Omar Elomar, 38, of San Antonio, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, both state jail felonies; evading arrest or detention with a motor vehicle and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair, both third-degree felonies.
The chase also was near Oak Run Middle School, which took normal procedures.
“Oak Run Middle School was placed on a brief ‘secure’ protocol due to a police matter taking place in the immediate vicinity of the school on Tuesday morning,” said Rebecca Villarreal, New Braunfels Independent School District communications director. “This means students remained in class and continued their learning as normal, but no one was allowed to go outside or enter the building.
“The ‘secure’ protocol, previously called a ‘lockout,’ lasted less than 10 minutes.” she added.
Elomar remained in the county lockup Thursday in lieu of $30,000 bond. No one was hurt during the incident, Ferguson said, adding other charges filed by a host of other agencies could be pending. | https://herald-zeitung.com/community_alert/article_d020f5b8-b143-11ec-a048-6713aff1aa5d.html | 2022-04-01T01:26:31Z |

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Todd Bowles earned his way in the NFL on the defensive side of the ball.
He’s not afraid to talk offense.
The new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won’t be shy about sharing his ideas with offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and quarterback Tom Brady.
“I’m the head coach. I get to do whatever I want,” Bowles said Thursday, a day after taking over because Bruce Arians moved into a front-office role. “I’m not going to call plays. I understand that. But I have input on how defenses are trying to attack them. I have input on certain situations going into the half, two-minute or third downs or going for it or not going for it and those types of things. That’s my job and I have the freedom to do that. At the same time, I understand and respect Byron and Tom a great deal and they know that. I think we’re off to a good start from a communication standpoint and we just have to keep building.”
Bowles gets a second opportunity after going 24-40 in four seasons with the New York Jets from 2015 through 2018. He also was an interim head coach in Miami for three games in 2011. He becomes only the 12th minority to get a second head coaching opportunity since 1963, according to data in the NFL’s 2022 Diversity and Inclusion Report.
“When I first started in New York, you try to do things the right way and you don’t do it your way, you end up having regret. So I’m going to do it my way,” Bowles said.
Arians joined Bowles at his introductory news conference and learned the Buccaneers will induct him into the team’s Ring of Honor this season. Brady also was in attendance.
Arians, who turns 70 this year, said his decision to step down as coach was about “succession” and making sure he turned the team over to Bowles with an opportunity to succeed. When Brady unretired on March 13, Arians realized the time was right.
“Succession is way important to me,” Arians said. “This has been my dream for a long time. Guys that know me, they knew I wanted one of my guys to take over.”
Arians dismissed reports of friction with Brady, saying it “couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Bowles and Arians have a relationship that dates more than 40 years. Bowles played safety for Arians at Temple in the 1980s and was defensive coordinator on Arians’ staff in Arizona before joining him in Tampa.
“He is the most influential coaching figure and father figure that I have ever had in this league,” Bowles said, adding that it was a bittersweet feeling when he got the news from Arians.
Bowles made it clear he has a different personality than Arians.
“The only thing we have in common is our bald heads,” Bowles said. “He smokes, I don’t. He drinks, I don’t. So, we never got in each other’s way.”
Arians led the Buccaneers to their second Super Bowl title in 2020 and an NFC South title in 2021. With Brady back, Bowles takes over a team that has championship aspirations.
“Good players make good coaches so you always want to have good players,” Bowles said. “I’m not going to apologize for inheriting a talented team. I’ve had less success with a team. It’s different to the fact that I don’t think I can go into this trying to be Bruce. I would fail miserably if I tried. … I can be me.
“I understand a lot of things I’ve learned from my coaching experience, especially from him so I’m going to take that approach. The one thing I know is I know I can coach football players regardless if you’re an All-Pro or a rookie. All of your players want to be coached and help them get better. I can help people get better and I’m going to use my approach.”

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — While Michigan football’s wide receiver room is loaded with talent — the group didn’t lose anyone this offseason and will return team captain and standout Ronnie Bell this fall — the room has also added three true freshmen who have the capability to help the team right away.
It’s difficult to pick which of the three could be the most capable; Jim Harbaugh said in December that Darrius Clemons is like another version of Nico Collins, Amorion Walker also has both size and speed, while 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong had once noted that Tyler Morris would have been more highly thought of had he not been injured for his senior year — though he was still a four-star recruit.
This spring, all three have been mentioned in the same breath, and all three have been praised for their playmaking ability already, just a few months into their college careers. But how do the established wideouts view them?
On Thursday, third-year receiver A.J. Henning met with the media and shared what he thinks this younger group brings to both the team as well as the unit as a whole.
“I think a lot of versatility. I think each one has unique qualities that make them different, and they bring huge playmaking ability to our room,” Henning said. “You have the bigger receiver in Darrius — he’s fast as well. Amorion, he has elusiveness and he’s quick, too. And Tyler, he has the quick twitchy speed as well.
“So they’re all huge playmakers and bring different personalities and different attributes to our room.”
While speed is great — we heard for years about the benefits of ‘speed in space’ — perhaps the most important thing is actually making plays. The good news? Henning says that all three are doing just that thus far in spring ball.
“They all bring different traits to their game and they all have been stepping up in big ways,” Henning said. “A lot of things that I’ve seen from them is playmaking ability and what they can do after the catch. They have speed and that makes them playmakers.”
Fans will get their first taste of the freshman wide receiver trio on April 2, when Michigan football hosts its annual spring game at noon EDT at The Big House. | https://wolverineswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/31/michigan-football-freshmen-wide-receivers-darrius-clemons-amorion-walker-tyler-morris/ | 2022-04-01T01:26:32Z |

Bay Street Theater Hosts Concert For Ukraine: A Relief Benefit
The concert will take place on Friday, April 22, at 8 p.m.
Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts is pleased to announce Concert For Ukraine, a humanitarian relief concert celebrating the music, arts, and culture of Ukraine, on Friday, April 22, at 8 p.m.
The concert will be hosted by Dr. Taras Filenko, a Ukrainian pianist, historian, ethnomusicologist, and a noted scholar of Ukrainian music, who will present a lecture and performance examining Ukrainian national identity through a musical lens. The concert is presented in collaboration between Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Bay Street Theater. Tickets are available with a minimum $20 donation, though guests are asked to give what they can, and can be purchased through the Box Office by calling 631 725 9500 Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. or 24/7 at baystreet.org.
Ethnomusicologist Dr. Taras Filenko will present a slide lecture and performance examining Ukrainian national identity through a musical lens. Ukrainian culture is currently under serious threat. In response, Dr. Filenko will explain how this is not a new occurrence but the continuation of a historical cycle of suppression and resilience. With examples from Ukrainian composers of the 19th and 20th centuries, Dr. Filenko will demonstrate the vitality and distinctiveness of Ukrainian culture, with a prayer (or with hope) for its future. The Concert For Ukraine has been organized in response to the manmade, ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region, in collaboration between Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman and Bay Street Theater. All proceeds from the concert will go to support the International Rescue Committee, which has launched an emergency appeal to help support displaced families with critical aid and work directly with local partners to bolster the crisis response of people who have already been active in the community and are experts on the local context. "The war in Ukraine has created over four million refugees," says Jay Schneiderman. "These displaced children and families need basic support including food and medical care. I appreciate Bay Street opening its doors to host a community event to raise funds to help address this humanitarian crisis." "We felt it important to try to hear from Ukrainian artists themselves," says Bay Street Executive Director Tracy Mitchell. "We are fortunate to have access to this incredible artist who not only is an accomplished pianist, but who also will put the situation in context from his own experience with images and music." Dr. Taras Filenko is a pianist, historian, and ethnomusicologist, and a noted scholar of Ukrainian music. A graduate of the National Academy of Music in Kyiv, Dr. Filenko served on the faculty there and eventually as Associate Dean of Conducting and Voice. From the Academy, he was awarded a Ph.D. in historic musicology in 1989, and later earned a doctorate in Ethnomusicology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1998. For over forty years, Dr. Filenko has worked in the fields of History of Music, Ethnomusicology and Music Performance (piano, organ, and choir directing), successfully combining his work as scholar, teacher and performer. He has presented numerous concerts throughout Europe and North America, promoting the works of contemporary Ukrainian composers. Dr. Filenko is a recipient of Fulbright and Petesh Scholarships. Together with his mother, Tamara Bulat, he authored The World of Mykola Lysenko: Ethnic Identity, Music Culture and Politics, (2010). Bay Street Theater is a fully vaccinated company. All attendance is available via touchless ticketing. All guests must show proof of vaccination and will be required to wear a mask upon entry to the theater. For full list of COVID-19-related safety procedures and guidelines for in-person events, please visit us online at baystreet.org. Bay Street Theater is a year-round, not-for-profit professional theater and community cultural center, which endeavors to innovate, educate, and entertain a diverse community through the practice of the performing arts. It serves as a social and cultural gathering place, an educational resource, and a home for a community of artists. | https://www.broadwayworld.com/long-island/article/Bay-Street-Theater-Hosts-Concert-For-Ukraine-A-Relief-Benefit-20220331 | 2022-04-01T01:26:33Z |

HONOLULU (AP) — The late Native Hawaiian hula teacher Edith Kanaka’ole is among five women who will be individually featured on a U.S. quarter next year as part of a program that depicts notable women on the flip side of the coin.
The U.S. Mint said Wednesday the other side of each quarter will show George Washington.
It described Kanaka’ole, who died in 1978, as a composer, chanter, dancer, teacher and entertainer.
“Her moʻolelo, or stories, served to rescue aspects of Hawaiian history, customs and traditions that were disappearing due to the cultural bigotry of the time,” it said in a news release.
The Edith Kanaka’ole Foundation in Hilo, which was established in 1990 to perpetuate her and her husband Luka Kanaka’ole’s teachings, said she has been recognized as “the preeminent practitioner of modern Hawaiian culture and language.”
The U.S. Mint said the other four women to appear on the coin next year were: Bessie Coleman, the first African American and first Native American woman pilot; Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady and author; Jovita Idár, the Mexican American journalist and activist; and Maria Tallchief, who was America’s first prima ballerina.
This year, the program is issuing coins featuring five other women, including poet Maya Angelou and astronaut Sally Ride. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/late-native-hawaiian-hula-teacher-to-appear-on-us-quarter/ | 2022-04-01T01:26:35Z |
RUSSIA Today (RT) managing director, Alexey Nikolov, was sanctioned yesterday by the UK government. Sanctions have also been imposed on RT’s parent company, TV-Novosti.
The Foreign Office said it would effectively mean RT could not return to UK screens after losing its licence.
Earlier in March, UK media regulator Ofcom revoked the channel’s permission to broadcast, after deciding TV-Novosti was not ‘fit and proper’ to hold a licence.
Yesterday, Tory Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said: ‘These sanctions will target those who are complicit in covering up the Russian state’s actions.
‘We will not hesitate to act further against individuals and organisations attempting to deceive people about this misguided war.’
The 14 people and institutions on the latest sanctions list also include:
- State-owned media group Rossiya Segodnya, which operates the news agency Sputnik.
- Sputnik editor-in-chief Anton Anisimov.
- Aleksandr Zharov, chief executive of Gazprom-Media, which owns TV channel NTV.
- Russia’s National Defence Control Centre head Col-Gen Mikhail Mizintsev.
Together, the US, EU and UK have already sanctioned more than 1,000 Russian individuals and businesses.
The UK’s sanctions mean they cannot:
- Access assets or funds held in the UK.
- Do business with UK citizens or companies.
- Travel to or from the UK.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to cut off gas supplies to ‘unfriendly countries’ who refuse to pay in roubles.
He has greenlighted rouble gas payments for buyers from countries which placed sanctions on Russia in connection with Ukraine.
Putin signed a decree yesterday demanding that these buyers open accounts in Russian banks to facilitate the payments.
The measure takes effect as of today April 1st.
‘If unfriendly countries do not pay in roubles starting from April 1st, we will consider this a default on gas contracts, in which case the existing contracts will be scrapped,’ the president said.
The ‘unfriendly’ states Putin referred to are the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Switzerland, the 27 nations of the European Union, and a number of smaller countries.
The move to switch to Russia’s national currency in gas payments was announced earlier this month in response to the unprecedented sanctions against the country, including the seizure of nearly half of the nation’s foreign reserves held abroad.
The announcement instantly sent the rouble surging from historic lows against the US dollar and the euro, with the Russian currency recovering nearly all its losses since the crisis in Ukraine began over a month ago. | https://wrp.org.uk/news/rts-nikolov-and-tv-novosti-sanctioned-by-tories/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rts-nikolov-and-tv-novosti-sanctioned-by-tories | 2022-04-01T01:26:35Z |

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Anna Davis was little more than a silhouette from right of the ninth green as darkness fell quickly at the end of a long day at the Augusta National Women's Amateur. The only light came from a video board and headlights from carts making their way in.
Not the least bit rattled, the 16-year-old from San Diego pitched with perfect pace to 2 feet to save par and post a 4-over 76 at Champions Retreat, one of only nine players to finish the second round.
What started as lingering thunderstorms turned into a heavy rain that delayed the start of the second round for for seven-and-a-half hours. That led to what should be a longer day, but far more fun on Friday.
Fifty-one players will finish the second round in the morning — some with only one hole to play, others with nine holes — before heading over to Augusta National for a practice round.
It starts with an elite competition. It ends for so many of them with a dream come true.
Of the nine players who finished, Davis was at 2-over 146 and in a tie for eighth, virtually assured of being among the 30 players from a field of 60 who advance to the final round at the home of the Masters.
No one was under par.
Beatrice Wallin of Sweden was 1 under for the round through 16 holes and even par for the tournament, tied with Amari Avery, who also was 1 under for the day through 16.
Joining them at even par was Hailey Borjas, the Californian who plays at Michigan. Her day ended on a sour note with consecutive bogeys. Even so, she was excited for Friday.
She was at Augusta National earlier in the week, driving down Magnolia Lane and having a group dinner hosted by the club chairman.
“Seeing Augusta for the first time, it was like a dream come true,” Borjas said.
She was more excited about her first chance to play it than her position in the Augusta National Women's Amateur, in its third year but already considered elite among amateur events because of where it's at.
“I don't really like to think about golf when I'm playing golf, if that makes any sense," Borjas said. “I like to talk about other things, like shoes. So to think about Augusta National tomorrow will keep me going.”
U.S. Women's Amateur champion Jensen Castle had the best round going at 2 under through 16 holes, leaving her one shot out of the lead.
The course was just as difficult as the opening round, when strong wind allowed only five players to break par. The wind subsided after the rain, though it left the course soggy and longer, even as the greens were slightly more receptive.
Rose Zhang, the No. 1 amateur in the world, made progress by not really going anywhere. She put together one bogey and 13 pars and improved from a tie for 39th to a tie for 26th.
Rachel Heck of Stanford, the No. 3 player in women's amateur golf who won six times in one semester last year as a freshman, was going the other direction. Heck had a pair of double bogeys in her opening four holes and was 5 over through 10 holes, leaving her outside the projected cut line at 6 over.
The cut is a hard 30. Any ties lead to a sudden-death playoff to see who advances, although everyone gets to play a practice round at Augusta National on Friday.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A lot is known about the few hours that shook American democracy to the core. The defeated president’s incendiary speech, the march by an angry crowd to the U.S. Capitol, the breaking in, the beating of cops, the “hang Mike Pence” threats, the lawmakers running for their lives, the shooting death of rioter Ashli Babbitt. All of that chaos unfolded over about eight hours on one day: Jan. 6, 2021.
But for all that is known about the day, piecing together the words and actions of Donald Trump over that time has proved no easy task, even though a president’s movements and communications are closely monitored.
There’s a gap in the official White House phone notations given to the House committee investigating Jan. 6 — from about 11 a.m. to about 7 p.m., according to two people familiar with the congressional investigation into the riot. Details may still turn up; the former president was known to use various cell phones and often bypassed the White House switchboard, placing calls directly.
And over the past four-plus months a lot has surfaced about what Trump did do and say on Jan. 6 — in texts, tweets, videos, calls and other conversations.
The following account is based on testimony, timelines and eyewitness reporting gathered by The Associated Press and The Washington Post and CBS News, and from officials and people familiar with the events who spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity.
SORE AT HIS NO. 2
Trump entered the Oval Office at 11:08 a.m. By that time, about 400 pro-Trump demonstrators had already massed at the Capitol. Trump placed a call to Vice President Mike Pence — their only conversation of the day. It didn’t go well: Trump wanted Pence to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, and he was very unhappy the vice president wouldn’t do it.
At 11:38 a.m., the president left the White House to address his rally on the Ellipse, a big grassy oval behind the White House, about a mile or so from the Capitol. It was bitter cold, but that didn’t keep the crowd away. Trump was up on stage by 11:57 and addressed his supporters until about 1:15 p.m.
Among Trump’s challenging final words: “We fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country any more. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country. So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. And we’re going to the Capitol.”
‘THEY’RE THROWING METAL POLES’
Growing crowds were migrating to the Capitol. Almost immediately after Trump concluded, a Capitol Police officer called for backup.
“They’re throwing metal poles at us,” the officer said in a panicked voice. “Multiple law-enforcement injuries.”
Would Trump himself head for the Capitol, as he’d suggested in his speech? It was unclear at first, but his motorcade turned to head back to the White House.
At 1:21 p.m., Trump met with his valet at the White House, logs say. At the Capitol, meanwhile, then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund begged for help from the National Guard as the crowd started to swell around the west side of the building and became increasingly violent.
By then the TV networks had picked up the melee and were broadcasting live as the mob broke through metal police barricades and advanced toward the doors of the building where lawmakers were gathered to certify the presidential election results. The surreal images soon filled television screens throughout the West Wing, where staffers watched, stunned.
LOCKDOWN
By 2 p.m. the U.S. Capitol was locked down. At 2:11, Pence was evacuated. At 2:15, congressional leaders were evacuated. At 2:43, demonstrator Babbitt was shot trying to enter the House chamber through a window broken by the mob.
No official record has surfaced yet of what Trump was doing during this time. The next entry in Trump’s daily diary is not until 4:03 p.m., when he went out to the Rose Garden to tape a public address after frantic urging.
But during this time Trump was hardly idle. He was in touch with lawmakers and he was, according to aides, watching the violence unfold on national television. And he was tweeting.
At 2:28, he tweeted not about the violence but to show his pique at his vice president:
“Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”
At some point, Trump also talked to lawmakers. Republican Kevin McCarthy told a California radio station that he had spoken to the president.
“I was the first person to call him,” McCarthy said. “I told him to go on national TV, tell these people to stop it. He said he didn’t know what was happening.”
Washington Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler said McCarthy relayed that conversation to her. By her account, when McCarthy told Trump it was his own supporters breaking into the building, Trump responded: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”
Trump also talked to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, among other GOP lawmakers. Tuberville later said he spoke to the president while the Senate was being evacuated. Utah Sen. Mike Lee said Trump accidentally called him when he was trying to reach Tuberville.
Others, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, tried but failed to get through to the president.
‘IT HAS GONE TOO FAR’
At 3:14 p.m. a Trump tweet at last made a sideways reference to the havoc. “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”
At some point, he sequestered himself in the dining room off the Oval Office to watch the violence play out on TV, rewinding and re-watching some parts, according to former aides. Unable to get through by other means, allies including his former chief of staff and communications director resorted to tweeting at him to try to get through. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was getting a flurry of texts from lawmakers, from Fox News personalities and even Trump’s own children.
“Hey, Mark, protestors are literally storming the Capitol. Breaking windows on doors. Rushing in. Is Trump going to say something?” reads one text.
“We are all helpless,” says another.
As the violence continued, the president’s elder son texted Meadows:
“He’s got to condemn this s(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk) Asap,” Donald Trump, Jr. texted.
Meadows responded: “I’m pushing it hard. I agree.”
Trump, Jr. texted again and again, urging that his father act:
“We need an Oval address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand.”
‘REMEMBER THIS DAY FOREVER!’
At 4:08 p.m. Trump went out to the Rose Garden. At 4:17 p.m. he released a scripted, pre-recorded video, which included a call for “peace” and “law and order” and finally told his supporters “you have to go home now.”
But they didn’t. Things were still wildly out of control. In fact, the Capitol building was not secured until 5:34 p.m.
At 6:01, Trump’s message was back to indignant: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long,” he wrote. “Remember this day forever!”
At 6:27, he went back to the residence, and started calling his lawyers.
Congress did not resume counting electoral votes until 8 p.m. They finished at 3:40 a.m. and certified Biden as the winner.

Unbeaten Dragons Beat Two Unbeatens
Ste. Genevieve hit the long road Thursday but the ride home was shorter after bringing home another victory Friday, especially when the other team was undefeated before the start of the game. The Dragons stayed unbeaten themselves on the season with a 13-6 victory over Malden, a small town...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — On Saturday at noon EDT, Michigan fans will finally get a chance to preview the 2022 iteration of the Wolverines when the maize team takes on the blue team in the annual spring game. Though there’s a lot of curiosity about the state of the defense, the offense hopes to come out and impress right out of the gates.
That’s because there’s so much returning talent, with that side of the ball having only lost three starters — running back Hassan Haskins, right tackle Andrew Stueber, and center Andrew Vastardis. But those who are stepping up in those roles have the potential to be just as good.
The good thing about having so much returning talent is that, despite there being a change at offensive coordinator — Sherrone Moore and Matt Weiss are taking over for Josh Gattis, who left for the Miami (Fla.) job this offseason — that side of the ball should be able to play fast, having so much familiarity with the system, as well as the personnel being comfortable with each other.
And that’s the impression that third-year defensive tackle Kris Jenkins Jr. has gotten through the bulk of spring ball, as he’s gone up against the offense.
“Oh, I definitely think it’s faster,” Jenkins said. “A lot of the offensive guys have come back, so you can definitely like feel that chemistry still there. And it’s really cool to see that take form and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. They’re ready to keep building, keep climbing and it is really, really cool to see because last year, a lot of people said we had a young offense and they still (made plays) and everyone was able to see that this year. They’re still moving off of that.
“They’ve been pushing our defense a lot. We’ve been pushing them as well. So it’s really cool to see us complement each other. The offense is just starting to you know, take that extra shine.”
Naturally, Jenkins is impressed with the unit he goes up against the most — the offensive line — but that’s not all he’s excited about.
Sure, returning three-fifths of the Joe Moore Award-winning unit is bound to having things still moving in the right direction up front, but Jenkins is also seeing a lot of talent around them, particularly at the skill positions.
“Well, I’m not gonna lie — everybody’s been really shining and had their days in each practice,” Jenkins said. “Mainly offensive line. It’s like they just been rolling and it’s been really cool. Especially Olu — he would be the new addition to the team — he’s just been rolling, getting better. You got a whole offensive line — they’ve just been like Zak, Hayes, Trev, Gio, some of the younger guys been getting (into it, too) — Trente’s making his shine as a starter.
“Across the board, especially with our wide receivers and running backs, they just get rolling. And you can see how much talent out there. So I know when we turn it loose, it’s gonna be exciting.”
Fans will get an opportunity to take in the Michigan offense on Saturday, April 2 at The Big House. | https://wolverineswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/31/michigan-football-kris-jenkins-on-wolverines-offense-in-2022-spring-ball/ | 2022-04-01T01:26:38Z |

FRESNO, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The State of California recently launched its TECH Clean California initiative which is a $120 million program funded by California gas corporations to implement low emissions space and water heating units for single and multifamily homes.
For some homeowners considering a new air conditioning system, this California rebate can save them up to $7,000. Unlike solar incentives that require the homeowner to apply for the incentive with the State of California after the system is installed, the homeowner realizes the savings upfront with the TECH Clean California Initiative. The HVAC company that installs the system is then required to apply for reimbursement with the State.
To qualify, an electric heating and cooling unit must be installed by an approved HVAC company. Simon DeLaCerda, General Manager of Valley Air Conditioning and Repair has been installing these systems upon the launch and states, "I am pleased to offer the opportunity, we've seen incredible savings for homeowners and urge other homeowners to take advantage of this amazing deal".
The Switch Is On, is an educational campaign that has been launched to promote the TECH initiative and the benefits of home electrification. Learn more about the campaign through their site.

The contract also includes four option years, worth additional $2.5 billion
TUCSON, Ariz., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) business, was awarded a $651 million, with options totaling $2.5 billion, hardware, production and sustainment contract for full-rate production of the AN/SPY-6(V) Family of Radars. The contract, with options, totals $3.2 billion and five years of radar production to equip up to 31 U.S. Navy ships with SPY-6 radars.
Under the contract, RMD will produce solid state, fixed-face and rotating SPY-6 variants that will deliver unprecedented integrated air and missile defense capabilities for seven types of U.S. Navy ships over the next 40 years. Those vessels include the Navy's new Arleigh Burke class Flight III destroyers, aircraft carriers and amphibious ships; today's Flight IIA destroyers will be backfit with an upgraded radar.
"There is no other radar with the surface maritime capabilities of SPY-6," said Wes Kremer, president of Raytheon Missiles & Defense. "SPY-6 is the most advanced naval radar in existence, and it will provide our military a giant leap forward in capability for decades to come."
Since its inception, more than $600 million has been invested in the development and manufacturing of the SPY-6 family of radars. When compared to legacy radars, SPY-6 will bring new capabilities to the surface fleet, such as advanced electronic warfare protection and enhanced detection abilities.
SPY-6 array radar variants have between nine and 37 radar modular assemblies, known as RMAs. Common RMAs allow SPY-6 to be scalable and modular to support production for the U.S. and partner nations across all variants, to include the Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar. This commonality supports standardized logistics and training for those who work on the radars.
SPY-6 radar installation is complete on the Navy's first Flight III destroyer, the USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), which is scheduled to be operational in 2024. Radar array deliveries are complete for the next ship in the class, the future USS Ted Stevens (DDG 128).
Raytheon Technologies Corporation is an aerospace and defense company that provides advanced systems and services for commercial, military and government customers worldwide. With four industry-leading businesses ― Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon Intelligence & Space and Raytheon Missiles & Defense ― the company delivers solutions that push the boundaries in avionics, cybersecurity, directed energy, electric propulsion, hypersonics, and quantum physics. The company, formed in 2020 through the combination of Raytheon Company and the United Technologies Corporation aerospace businesses, is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts.

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.

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.

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.

Online recruitment services revenues in 2021 increased 11.6% to RMB2,396.2 million (US$376.0 million) from RMB2,147.3 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the improvement in business activity and more recruitment needs of employers in China in 2021.

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.

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.

TODAY, April 1, the first day of the new financial year, a barrage of vicious cuts and hikes come in attacking the living standards of workers, pensioners, youth and students alike.
The cap rises on energy bills, the triple-lock pension comes to an end, while the hike in National Insurance and council tax comes into effect.
The average Band D council tax rises today to £1,966, up £67 or 3.5 per cent on the previous year, according to data published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
This includes adult social care and parish precepts, but does not take into account the £150 council tax rebate that will be provided to households in Bands A to D by the government to help with rising energy prices.
The triple lock on the pension is to be suspended for 2022-2023. Instead, the state pension will be determined by either the inflation rate or 2.5%. Tory Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey said the triple lock would then be restored for the remainder of this Parliament, which ends in 2024.
The triple lock is a commitment, over and above the statutory requirement, to uprate the basic and new state pension by the highest of earnings, prices or 2.5 per cent.
Yesterday, energy websites were crashing all day as customers rushed to submit meter readings ahead of bills rising today.
Today, the energy price cap – the maximum price suppliers in England, Wales and Scotland can charge households is being raised.
The energy price cap increases today for approximately 22 million customers.
Those on default tariffs paying by direct debit will see an increase of £693 from £1,277 to £1,971 per year (difference due to rounding). Prepayment customers will see an increase of £708 from £1,309 to £2,017.
With the cost of living crisis worsening, the Tory government’s decision to raise the cost of National Insurance will see workers pay hundreds or thousands of pounds more in taxes each year.
The new 1.25 percentage point rise comes in today.
National Insurance kicks in on earnings in excess of £187 a week at a rate of 12% and then at 2% on all other earnings above £976 a week. From April, these rates will rise to 13.25 per cent. | https://wrp.org.uk/news/tax-hikes-cuts-come-in/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tax-hikes-cuts-come-in | 2022-04-01T01:26:42Z |
By PETER SMITH
Associated Press
The top-ranking Ukrainian Catholic cleric in the United States warned Thursday that religious minorities in the Eastern European country stand to be “crushed” if Moscow gains control, as fighting raged on more than a month after the Russian invasion began.
Groups at risk include Catholics, Muslims and Orthodox who have broken away from the patriarch of Moscow, Archbishop Borys Gudziak said. He also cited reports that Russian forces have damaged two Holocaust memorials and Moscow’s false portrayal of Ukraine, which overwhelmingly elected a Jewish president in Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as a “Nazi” state.
“What is at stake for the people of faith is their freedom to practice their faith,” Gudziak said during an online panel discussion on the war, hosted by the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University.
“Ukrainian Catholics, over the last 250 years, every time there’s been a Russian occupation where they live and minister, they’ve been strangled,” he continued.
Gudziak is head of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and president of Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. He also oversees external relations for the Kyiv-based Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The name of the church, whose members account for an estimated 10% of Ukraine’s population, refers to its loyalty to the pope and its use of Greek or Byzantine liturgy, which is similar to that of Ukraine’s majority Orthodox population.
The archbishop predicted that the Orthodox Church of Ukraine — which broke from the Moscow Patriarchate and was recognized in 2019 by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople over fierce opposition from Moscow — “will undoubtedly be crushed if there’s a Russian occupation.”
Guziak did not specifically mention the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is separate from the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and has remained loyal to Moscow Patriarch Kirill, a strong supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite that historic fealty, Ukrainian Orthodox Church leaders have fiercely denounced the Russian invasion and in some cases are refusing to mention Kirill’s name in public prayers, a ritually potent snub.
Kirill has backed Putin’s justifications for the war, saying both countries are part of a “Russian world” and alleging that the U.S. and other foreign forces have sought to foster enmity between them.
Gudziak also cited the plight of Muslim Tatars who “have been persecuted for these last eight years” since Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula in southern Ukraine in 2014.
The U.S. State Department has similarly denounced intimidation and harassment of Tatars and other religious groups in Crimea and areas of eastern Ukraine under control of Russia-backed separatists. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said this month that Moscow’s “aggression toward religious freedom (in those territories) is an indicator that much worse will follow … as Russia expands into Ukraine.”
Gudziak rejected Russia’s claims that it is on a mission to denazify Ukraine, where the Jewish Zelenskyy won election with 73% of the vote. Such altruistic assertions also ring hollow, he argued, given the reported damage to the Holocaust memorials in Kyiv and near Kharkiv.
“All those who desire to live in freedom will lose a lot or everything. If there is an occupation, that is what is at stake for Ukrainians,” Gudziak said. “What is at stake for Europe, for the broader world, is will there be an advance of systems, ideologies and worldviews that crush people?”

"Cheer Boxes," Now En Route to Poland, Meant to Bring Joy to the Youngest Who Have Been Displaced
LAS VEGAS, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Realty ONE Group, a modern, purpose-driven lifestyle brand and ONE of the fastest growing franchisors in the world, set off on a crusade only three short weeks ago to collect tens of thousands of shoe boxes of toys, "cheer boxes," for Ukrainian children who have been displaced by the war.
The idea came from the daughters of the company's CEO and founder, Kuba Jewgieniew, who wanted children to help children in need. Jewgieniew's parents and family are from Poland while his wife, Luba Jewgieniew, was born and raised in Ukraine. The family originally hoped to collect just 300 boxes, but the result was well beyond anything the girls or the company could have expected.
"People helping people is what our COOLTURE (cool + culture) is all about," said Kuba Jewgieniew, CEO and Founder of Realty ONE Group. "Our entire ONE family across 45 states shared their love along with local schools, hospitals, neighbors and other real estate companies and it was ONE of the most amazing things I've ever experienced.
In total, Realty ONE Group estimates it collected more than 30,000 cheer boxes stuffed with toys, some clothing and loving, hand-crafted notes to all ages of Ukrainian children. The boxes began to overflow at the company's several hub offices in Orange County, Phoenix and Las Vegas, and now have been crated and shipped to the east coast where they'll make the final trek overseas to the south of Poland where Jewgieniew's family will drive distribution efforts.
Realty ONE Group has a long legacy of giving back through its 501(c)3, ONE Cares, having impacted nearly 300,000 lives in 2021, giving back more than $200,000 to organizations everywhere while planting 139,000 trees through its ONE Tree, ONE World program to make the earth greener as we expand our footprint around the world.
The UNBrokerage, as it's known in the industry, now has more than 17,000 real estate professionals in more than 400 offices in 45 states, Washington D.C. and Canada and will be opening in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Italy, Singapore and Spain, in addition to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

Mumbai: It was another bad day in the office for Chennai Super Kings as they lost to Lucknow Super Kings on Thursday in a high-scoring thriller at the Brabourne stadium. With the loss, Lucknow- who are making their IPL debut – have registered their first win. After the game, it was heartwarming to see Lucknow mentor Gautam Gambhir greet ex-CSK captain MS Dhoni. The two had a long conversation just ahead of the post-match presentation.Also Read - IPL 2022 Points Table After LSG vs CSK, Match 7: Rajasthan Royals (RR) Retain Top Spot; Faf du Plessis Retains Orange Cap, Wanindu Hasaranga Retains Purple Cap

Gambhir also took to social media and posted a picture with Dhoni. He captioned it as, “It was nice catching up with the skipper.”
Gambhir was a part of the 2011 World Cup side that lifted the crown under the leadership of Dhoni. Gambhir was one of the key members of the squad and he was the star in the final against Sri Lanka.
In the past, there have been several rumours about rift between the two. And hence, it was even more important for fans to see the duo happy in each others company.
Meanwhile, this is the first time in the history of the IPL that CSK has lost their opening two games. | https://www.india.com/sports/ipl-2022-gautam-gambhir-greeting-ms-dhoni-after-lsg-beat-csk-goes-viral-watch-video-5313614/ | 2022-04-01T01:26:47Z |

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Federal officials slated millions of dollars for rural water projects in several states, with the Biden administration looking to shore up infrastructure needs made more urgent by long-term drought conditions that have been exacerbated by climate change.
The U.S. Interior Department announced Thursday that $420 million will be spent on projects in New Mexico, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa. The work includes construction of water treatment plants, pipeline connections, pump systems and reservoirs to provide drinking water to rural and tribal communities.
The West is experiencing a more than 20-year megadrought. Scientists say the region has become much warmer and drier in recent decades and that climate change will continue to make weather more extreme, wildfires more frequent and destructive, and water supplies less reliable.
From Idaho and Montana south to New Mexico and Arizona, even soil moisture levels have hit record lows as major reservoirs along the Colorado River have plummeted. Earlier this month, Lake Powell hit a record low, spurring concerns about the ability to crank out more hydropower from the dam that holds it back.
Native American tribes that are finally seeing federal money after years of being underfunded are working to get at water they long had rights to but could not access without funds to build the infrastructure. On the Navajo Nation, tens of thousands of people still live without running water, while tribes in the upper Midwest are awaiting pipeline extensions that would tap into reliable sources.
In all, the infrastructure measure included $5 billion for Western water programs, with 20% of that dedicated to rural projects.
Federal officials said the allocations were based on project plans and significant goals that are projected to be reached with the funding.
The largest share — $160 million — will go toward a project decades in the making that will eventually provide water for about 70,000 people who live in communities along the New Mexico-Texas state line, where the Ogallala aquifer is being pumped at a faster rate than it’s being replenished.
The Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority will receive additional money from the Bureau of Reclamation and the state of New Mexico. When combined with matching money from the utility, the total for this year will be more than $228 million.
“This will take us far in the construction of this critically important project,” said Michael Morris, chairman of the water authority and mayor of Clovis, a rural community in eastern New Mexico.
Other allocations include $75.5 million for the Lewis & Clark Rural Water System, which spans parts of South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. The system is designed to pipe water from the Missouri River to areas as far as 60 miles (97 kilometers) away that have less plentiful resources.
In North Dakota, $51 million will go to a section of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program.
More than $57 million will go to the Rocky Boys/North Central Montana Rural Water System, which serves the Rocky Boy’s Reservation and numerous municipalities. The Fort Peck Reservation in Montana will benefit from $7 million for the water system there.
Tanya Trujillo, assistant Interior secretary for water and science, was flanked by water managers in Albuquerque when she made the announcement.
“The department is committed to bringing clean, reliable drinking water to rural communities to help strengthen resilience to climate change,” Trujillo said.

The culprit of the "flawed system" of Pakistan, as discussed by Bilal Khan of Quwa in this post, is the Establishment. The Establishment will block every move that will take them away from the status quo, and they will fight to stay in their comfort zone. The result? The country is stuck in history, unable to move, unable to lead, and unable to assert. Their relationship with the "electables" has led Pakistan into a situation where the civilian institutions have become a liability, and are easily exploited by foreign and local powers.
Senior PDF member Bilal Khan notes: "If we live in a world where the likes of PPP or PML can always "come back" we know something's fundamentally wrong."
Well, the establishment is "passively" involved in the current political fiasco, and the return of the "electables". This is how it works out:
1) Establishment thinks the "electables" are destined to come back to rule Pakistan. Hence, they think it is better to always have a conciliatory attitude with them, and be very forgiving. Therefore, ignore all NAB cases, and pressurize the supreme court into giving unlimited bails, and eventually dropping cases. This allows the establishment to have a bargaining chip in the future, and force them to give incentives to the establishment which involve a variety of favours.
2) Hence, the "electables" survive to see another day, and continue with their everyday feudal politics. Then, they exploit the "flawed system" to collude with foreign powers, to undermine state institutions, judiciary, army and anti corruption bureaucracy, to get an advantageous position.
3) That advantageous position then leads to the "electables" again coming into power, and continue to sustain the exact "flawed system" in which the establishment will keep forgiving them, and they will keep coming into power.
The biggest problem is that, the Establishment is working on the assumption that the "familiar" political parties have somehow earned a right to be always supported in the face of political hardships. The biggest hardship the current "electables" face is in the form of Imran Khan, who has the potential to uproot 70 years of Pakistani politics. But the establishment still wants to sustain the "electables" for the future, which is an abstract which the establishment wants to keep believing in. The result is that, the cycle of "electables" coming to power continues, while the ordinary man is just looking at the flawed system, helpless.
You have already heard the news, that the National Security Council has endorsed the letter in the presence of the three service chiefs. But do you still remember when Establishment pawns, like Shahzain Bugti left the government on flimsy grounds? Or when the Aleem Khan group decided to move towards PDM even when govt. capitulated and agreed to Pervaiz Elahi for the CM spot? It seems they never wanted Buzdar out in the first place. There was something else going on.
However, Imran Khan has forced the establishment to side with him in this political fiasco, especially after the National Security Council meeting. This could be the start of a reformation process of a flawed system. But as history tells us, the establishment cannot side with Imran Khan completely, because if even there is a 0.1% chance that the "electables" come back to power, they will damage all the little fantasies and dreams the establishment has constructed for itself over the last 70 years. If a superpower like the USA can help the establishment distance itself from a powerful civilian leader like Imran Khan, they will be more than happy about it. And the last few days show that they were VERY happy about it.
This is why, without the positive reformation of the Establishment, there can be no big change in Pakistan.
My opinion on how to get out of this very serious political turmoil:
1) Make Moeed Yusuf the Chief Martial Law Administrator.
2) Constitute a Joint Investigation team to analyse the extent of foreign involvement in the no confidence motion.
3) Initiate the procedure of punishment for ALL involved in the conspiracy against the state, even if some politicians try to play the provincial card. (for e.g. Zardari saying that this is a plan against Sindh)
4) Prepare for a national election within 6-8 months.
5) The new government must rewrite the National Security Policy, but this time, the involvement of the establishment in the politics should also be looked at through the lens of national security. The service chiefs, should be answerable to the parliament like how US Army chief testifies in front of the senate.
6) The new government should then start its journey of strengthening its own institutions, and work with regional powers to realize the dream of regional connectivity and geoeconomics.

By MATTHEW BROWN
Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials on Thursday adopted a rule aimed at reducing deaths and environmental damage from oil and gas pipeline ruptures — a long-delayed response to fatal explosions and massive spills that have occurred over decades in California, Michigan, New Jersey and other states.
But safety advocates said the move by the U.S. Transportation Department would not have averted the accidents that prompted the new rule. That’s because it applies only to new pipelines and not to hundreds of thousands of miles of lines that already crisscross the country, many of them decades old and corroding.
The rule requires companies to install emergency valves that can quickly shut off the flow of oil, natural gas or other hazardous fuels when pipelines rupture. It came in response to a massive gas explosion in San Bruno, California, that killed eight people in 2010, and to large oil spills into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River and Montana’s Yellowstone River and other spills.
The National Transportation Safety Board since the 1990s has recommended the use of automatic or remote controlled valves on large pipelines — whether they are existing or new — to reduce the severity of accidents. Following a 1995 gas pipeline explosion and fire in Edison, Jersey, the safety board urged the Transportation Department to expedite requirements for shut-off valves in cities and natural areas.
But pipeline companies resisted new valve requirements because of the expense of installing them and concerns they could close accidentally and shut off fuel supplies.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the more stringent regulations for the industry were needed because too many people have been harmed by pipeline failures.
He said installation of the valves would also protect against large releases of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas blamed for helping drive climate change.
“Today we are taking an important step to protect communities against hazardous pipeline leaks — helping to save the lives, property, and jobs of people in every part of the country while preventing super-polluting methane leaks.” Buttigieg said.
The Pipeline Safety Trust, a Bellingham, Washington-based advocacy group, said the rule marked progress since Congress mandated more stringent pipeline regulations over a decade ago.
But the group said exempting pipelines that are already in the ground means it would not prevent a repeat of the accident at San Bruno, which involved a pipeline that was more than 50 years old.
“This rule falls far short of the NTSB recommendation and will offer no additional safety to communities living near existing pipelines,” said Bill Caram, executive director of the safety trust.
Industry representatives were closely involved in crafting the rule, although their request to allow valves to be more widely spaced along pipelines was rejected by officials.
Amy Andryszak, president of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, said her organization and companies it represents were still reviewing the rule but were “generally supportive” of making rules that “encourage safety, support pipeline operators and reduce risk.”
Experts say automatic valves can help eliminate some human-caused errors that contribute to accidents, such as a delay of more than 17 hours to confirm the 2010 Kalamazoo, Michigan, pipeline rupture because workers ignored alarms indicating a possible spill. The break released more than 800,000 gallons (3,600,000 liters) of crude oil and caused roughly $1 billion in property and environmental damage.
In San Bruno, a 30-inch (76-centimeter) gas pipeline exploded and burned like a massive blowtorch in a suburban California neighborhood for 89 minutes before a manual valve was used to shut it down. An AP investigation found that pipeline operator Pacific Gas & Electric Co. agreed as far back as 1997 that remotely operated valves did a better job of protecting public safety, but opted against using them widely because they weren’t necessary or required.
Officials with the Transportation Department’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration did not immediately respond to questions about the new rule.
Also missing from the new rule are standards for equipment that can detect when and where leaks hit, a recurring problem in pipeline accidents, Caram said.
Instead, the rule says pipeline companies must quickly take steps to confirm a spill if they get an alarm or other notification, but the confirmation process itself remains up to the company.
Faulty leak detection systems played a role in recent accidents including a 350,000 gallon diesel oil spill in December into a wetlands outside New Orleans and an underwater rupture off California’s coast last October that fouled the ocean with tens of thousands of gallons crude oil.

ArtServe Opens 'Pa-Hay-Okee—Land Of Grassy Water' Next Month
The exhibition is timed to Earth Day on Friday, April 22.
In recognition of Earth Day, ArtServe will open an environmental art exhibit on Thursday, April 14 titled "Pa-Hay-Okee-Land of Grassy Water" dedicated to the urgency of preserving and restoring Florida's fragile ecology and Everglades ecosystem.
With support from Funding Arts Broward, Pa-Hay-Okee kicks off on April 14 with an artist panel discussion from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by an opening reception and preview of the exhibit's artworks from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Admission is free to both opening night events and to the exhibition itself, which runs through June 26 from Mondays through Saturdays.
Attending opening night will be Pa-Hay-Okee Guest Curator and ARTSail founder Ombretta Agró Andruff, along with many of the Pa-Hay-Okee featured artists.
"Art has become an indispensable method for increasing knowledge, raising appreciation and inspiring action on the environment," explained Andruff. "We hope that through this exhibition and its accompanying educational program, our audience will explore, fall in love with and learn to care for the life-sustaining ecosystem right in our backyard."
The idea for Pa-Hay-Okee, a Seminole Tribe phrase meaning "grassy waters," originated in a powerful online discussion hosted by ArtServe in 2020 with environmental activist Robert Mitchell that explored the environmental complexities of the Lake Okeechobee region and addressed how artists can actively help spur action on social and ecological, resiliency and sustainability issues impacting Florida communities.
Since then, Andruff has conducted expeditions through the Everglades, interviewing activists, scientists and environmental experts to better understand the challenges faced by the Kissimmee-Lake Okeechobee-Everglades watershed, as it was originally known.
Together with Andruff, ArtServe curator Sophie Bonet has gathered an impactful collection of multi-disciplinary works and performances designed to inspire meaningful discussion, along with public understanding and appreciation for the plight and beauty of the Everglades. Exhibiting artists include Priscilla Aleman, Alissa Alfonso, Elisabeth Condon, Jenna Efrein, Simon Faithfull, Lucinda Linderman, Deborah Mitchell, Christina Pettersson and Laurencia Strauss, among others.
"Pa-Hay-Okee" artists have captured the beauty, fragility and diversity of the Florida wetlands and the flora and fauna that inhabits them in unique and profound ways. The artists' contributions span a variety of media, from lens-based work by Faithfull and Strauss, to fiber work and tapestries by Alfonso and Linderman, along with powerful multi-media installations and drawings by Pettersson, Mitchell, Efrein and Aleman, and delicate watercolors by Condon.
The exhibition is timed to Earth Day on Friday, April 22.
Pa-Hay-Okee will feature installations and engagements that promote ecological awareness and explore threats to Florida's environment, while drawing a sense of urgency to the human impact on South Florida's fragile ecosystem. Among those works is Efrein's giant installation of plastic bags that physically overwhelms the viewer, unequivocally imparting the crushing devastation of single-use plastic bag pollution as merely a single component of environmental destruction.
Pa-Hay-Okee concludes on Sunday, June 26 (final day by appointment only). ArtServe will host a closing reception on Friday, June 17 featuring multidisciplinary artistic performances such as poetry reading and video screenings.

Christopher Sipes of Oquawka, Ill., has received a certificate of appreciation from the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office for his actions in assisting local law enforcement.
On Monday, March 28, Sipes and his wife were driving home from Burlington near the Carman Road when they noticed a Gulfport Police Officer attempt to arrest a man, a news release says.
The man resisted the officer and punched him in the face. That caused the officer to slip and fall into the lane of traffic. The man then tried to punch the officer several times, the release says.
Sipes slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting the man. then got out of his vehicle and was able to help subdue him by bear-hugging him and throwing him to the ground, the release says.
Sipes and the officer then were able to handcuff the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Diwyn Kalihah Presbery, of Philadelphia, Pa.
Presbery faces charges of aggravated battery to a peace officer, resisting a peace officer, possession of cannabis, possession of a controlled substance, obstructing identification and driving while his license was suspended.
Sipes was presented with the commendation on Thursday, March 21, at the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office. The certificate says: “In recognition of your heroism in assisting a police officer in need, we present this certificate of commendation to Christopher Sipes; a community leader and a partner of local law enforcement. Your actions were greatly appreciated. Thank you for having our ‘6.’”
“I’ve got your 6” is a reference to the face of a clock to represent the relative location of a threat. It goes back at least 100 years; with 12 o’clock being that which is in front of you, 3 o’clock to the right, 9 o’clock to the left and 6 o’clock, your back.

BAY MINETTE, Ala. (WKRG) — It’s Scouting’s highest honor, an accomplishment recognized across the country as indicative of strong character, and soon and young woman from Bay Minette will be the first female in Baldwin County to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
Dorothy Myers has already completed her Eagle Project, the final requirement that requires aspiring Eagle Scouts to organize and lead a significant project that benefits their community. Myers and the volunteers working with her replaced the old sign advertising civic organizations in Stockton with a new sign, illuminated with solar lights.
Now all she has left to do is finish her paperwork and sit for her Board of Review, an interview with three older Eagle Scouts who ask Eagle candidates questions about their Scouting experiences. And she’s come this far all in just three short years since joining her Troop.
Myers is a member of Troop 82G, chartered by Resurrection Church in Daphne, and one of Baldwin County’s two all-girl Scouts BSA Troops.
Eagle Projects are not solo endeavors. Aspiring Eagle Scouts must demonstrate leadership, a topic central in many Eagle Boards of Review. For her project, Myers brought together fellow Scouts, Baldwin County High School Air Force Junior ROTC, family and friends. Myers’ project was sponsored by the Stockton Civic Club and Fire Art Club.
When you look at all of the activities Myers’ juggles, it’s clear she has mastered thrift, an important part of the Scout Law. In addition to Scouting, Myers is a Baldwin County high School student and Junior ROTC member. She’s also a member of Girl Scout Troop 8306 and working on her Gold Award, that storied organization’s highest accolade. | https://www.wkrg.com/baldwin-county/first-female-eagle-scout-in-baldwin-county/ | 2022-04-01T01:27:01Z |
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WTAJ) — A disabled veteran is filing a lawsuit against a Centre County business and the State College Borough, alleging they violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The suit was filed by Christopher C. Taylor from Bellefonte.
Taylor claims he and his service dog, Zeke, weren’t allowed inside K n B’s Inflatables Please on Feb. 13. The bounce house rentals and indoor family entertainment center is located inside the Nittany Mall.
“All I wanted to do was go to the bounce place with my grandson so he could show me how he could jump on the bounce toys. That’s all we wanted to do,” Taylor said.
Taylor alleged in the lawsuit that the business and the Borough of State College violated a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.
“I paid to go in,” Taylor said. “When we were inside the store, one of the owners came up to me and said that I had to leave because no dogs allowed.”
Taylor claims he and his family were told he and Zeke couldn’t stay because the play center’s insurance didn’t provide coverage for dogs.
The employee allegedly also said other customers may have allergies.
“I pulled out the identification: my ID, his ID. I proceeded to show them. They did not want to see it,” Taylor said.
When a State College police officer was called to the store, Taylor said the officer told him the business has the right to keep him out.
“I tried explaining to the police officer that I’m a disabled Vietnam Veteran who’s 70 years old and requires a service animal with me. And he’s trained and registered. And I was asked to leave, said ‘I couldn’t be on the property,’” Taylor said.
Taylor said this is the first time he’s been turned away with Zeke.
“He’s always with me. Any procedure, any doctor’s appointment he’s there. Never had no trouble at all,” Taylor said.
Taylor is seeking unspecified damages and a requirement that the business and the borough implement training programs on policies associated with disabled people.
The Borough declined to comment at this time, and K n B’s Inflatables Please store could not be reached.
“People also gotta remember, just because you don’t see a disability doesn’t mean all disabilities are visible either,” Taylor said. “So, if I have a service animal and you’re wondering why I have one, that’s my business.” | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/news/local-news/bellefonte-disabled-veteran-sues-business-state-college-borough/ | 2022-04-01T01:27:01Z |
LOS ANGELES — Oscars producer, and St. Petersburg native, 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.” | https://www.wtsp.com/article/entertainment/oscars-producer-police-arrest-will-smith/67-8a966761-3971-49ab-9fc6-6f7e8692df7e | 2022-04-01T01:27:01Z |
SPRINGFIELD — The new-look Agawam boys volleyball team was tested on the road in its season opener, as they fought their way to a 3-1 (25-16, 25-20, 22-25, 25-16) victory over Putnam on Thursday evening.

Former Nigeria midfielder Henry Nwosu has blamed Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho for handing Ghana the World Cup ticket to the Qatar 2022 tournament.
He says that Uzoho's blunder was what Ghana needed to secure qualification for the World Cup and nothing else.
Thomas Partey scored the opening goal for Ghana in the 11th minute after a throw in from the edge of the Nigeria box from Gideon Mensah.
The Bordeaux defender exchanged passes with Jordan Ayew before laying the ball to Thomas Partey who thumped home a fierce shot which went through Nigerian goalkeeper Uzoho who obviously should have done better but Ghana did not care as they were 1-0 up.
Ghana after drawing 0-0 in Kumasi last Friday secured 1-1 draw game to progress via the away goal rule.
The Bordeaux defender exchanged passes with Jordan Ayew before laying the ball to Thomas Partey who thumped home a fierce shot which went through Nigerian goalkeeper Uzoho who obviously should have done better tlbut Ghana did not care as they were 1-0 up.
Nigeria after conceding the goal upped the ante as they tormented the Ghana backline with crosses.
It was one such forays into the Ghana box which resulted in a contentious penalty awarded Nigeria.
Ademola Lookman dribbled into the penalty box but Dennis Odoi cleared the ball but the 33 year old was adjudged to have fouled the Leicester city winger.
After a lengthy Video Assistant Referee review the Tunisian referee awarded the penalty.
William Troost Ekong stepped up and sent Ghana goalie Wollacot the wrong way to make it 1-1.
Reacting to the defeat, Nwosu indicated Francis Uzoho’s error cost the Super Eagles World Cup ticket.
“I am disappointed that the Super Eagles failed to capitalize on home advantage to defeat Ghana and pick the World Cup ticket.
“However, it’s so unfortunate that Uzoho’s blunder was just what the Black Stars needed to qualify ahead of Nigeria for Qatar 2022. It was his positioning that let that goal inside the back of the net.
“Well, we just have to accept the defeat because the deed has been done.” | https://ghanaguardian.com/francis-uzoho-handed-ghana-world-cup-ticket-henry-nwosu | 2022-04-01T01:27:02Z |

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials on Thursday adopted a rule aimed at reducing deaths and environmental damage from oil and gas pipeline ruptures — a long-delayed response to fatal explosions and massive spills that have occurred over decades in California, Michigan, New Jersey and other states.
But safety advocates said the move by the U.S. Transportation Department would not have averted the accidents that prompted the new rule. That’s because it applies only to new pipelines and not to hundreds of thousands of miles of lines that already crisscross the country, many of them decades old and corroding.
The rule requires companies to install emergency valves that can quickly shut off the flow of oil, natural gas or other hazardous fuels when pipelines rupture. It came in response to a massive gas explosion in San Bruno, California, that killed eight people in 2010, and to large oil spills into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River and Montana’s Yellowstone River and other spills.
The National Transportation Safety Board since the 1990s has recommended the use of automatic or remote controlled valves on large pipelines — whether they are existing or new — to reduce the severity of accidents. Following a 1995 gas pipeline explosion and fire that destroyed eight buildings in Edison, Jersey, the safety board urged the Transportation Department to expedite requirements for shut-off valves in cities and natural areas.
But pipeline companies for years resisted new valve requirements because of the expense of installing them and concerns they could close accidentally and shut off fuel supplies.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the more stringent regulations for the industry were needed because too many people have been harmed by pipeline failures.
He said installation of the valves would also protect against large releases of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas blamed for helping drive climate change.
“Today we are taking an important step to protect communities against hazardous pipeline leaks — helping to save the lives, property, and jobs of people in every part of the country while preventing super-polluting methane leaks.” Buttigieg said.
The Pipeline Safety Trust, a Bellingham, Washington-based advocacy group, said the rule marked progress since Congress mandated more stringent pipeline regulations over a decade ago.
But the group said exempting pipelines that are already in the ground means it would not prevent a repeat of the accident at San Bruno, which involved a pipeline that was more than 50 years old.
“This rule falls far short of the NTSB recommendation and will offer no additional safety to communities living near existing pipelines,” said Bill Caram, executive director of the safety trust.
The government estimated it would cost a combined $5.9 million annually for companies to comply with Thursday’s rule. By comparison, industry representatives said a single valve on an existing line could cost up to $1.5 million and it would take billions of dollars to retrofit lines nationwide.
Industry representatives were closely involved in crafting the rule. Their request to allow valves to be more widely spaced along pipelines and remove the requirement for some low-risk pipes was rejected. However, transportation officials adopted some of industry recommendations that will give operators latitude to make adjustments to where valves are placed.
Association of Oil Pipe Lines Vice President John Stoody said the final rule still contains “arbitrary requirements” for pipeline operators that don’t reflect real-world operating conditions or the low risk of spills in some scenarios.
Amy Andryszak, president of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, said her organization and companies it represents were still reviewing the rule but were “generally supportive” of rules that encourage safety.
Experts say automatic valves can help eliminate some human-caused errors that contribute to accidents, such as a delay of more than 17 hours to confirm the 2010 Kalamazoo, Michigan, pipeline rupture because workers ignored alarms indicating a possible spill. The break released more than 800,000 gallons (3,600,000 liters) of crude oil and caused roughly $1 billion in property and environmental damage.
In San Bruno, a 30-inch (76-centimeter) gas pipeline exploded and burned like a massive blowtorch in a suburban California neighborhood for 89 minutes before a manual valve was used to shut it down. An AP investigation found that pipeline operator Pacific Gas & Electric Co. agreed as far back as 1997 that remotely operated valves did a better job of protecting public safety, but opted against using them widely because they weren’t necessary or required.
Officials with the Transportation Department’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration did not immediately respond to questions about the new rule.
Also missing from the new rule are standards for equipment that can detect when and where leaks hit, a recurring problem in pipeline accidents, Caram said.
Instead, the rule says pipeline companies must quickly take steps to confirm a spill if they get an alarm or other notification, but the confirmation process itself remains up to the company.
Faulty leak detection systems played a role in recent accidents including a 350,000 gallon diesel oil spill in December into a wetlands outside New Orleans and an underwater rupture off California’s coast last October that fouled the ocean with tens of thousands of gallons crude oil.
