LONDON (AP) — The British government on Tuesday ordered scientists to take a new look at the risks of fracking, as soaring fuel prices and squeezed supplies prompt a rethink about the country’s energy supply.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng asked the British Geological Survey to review the evidence and report by June “on the geological science of shale gas fracturing and the modelling of seismic activity in shale rocks in the U.K.”
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves pumping water and chemicals at high pressure to fracture shale rock and release gas. The process has long been controversial in Britain, with attempts to establish a fracking industry meeting strong opposition from environmentalists.
The government suspended fracking in November 2019, saying it was not possible to accurately predict tremors associated with the drilling. That looked like a fatal blow to the industry as Britain sought to move away from fossil fuels and cut U.K. carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — and the sanctions imposed by the West on Russia, a major oil and gas supplier — have made countries including the U.K. rethink their energy supplies with the goal of reducing dependence on imported fuel. The fossil fuel industry and some lawmakers are pressing Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government to end the fracking ban and to increase the extraction of North Sea oil and gas.
Kwarteng said it was important to keep “all possible energy generation and production methods on the table.”
He added that the pause on fracking would remain “unless the latest scientific evidence demonstrates that shale gas extraction is safe, sustainable and of minimal disturbance to those living and working nearby.”
Cuadrilla Resources Ltd., which operated Britain’s only active shale wells until 2019, welcomed the review as a “tentative first step” towards overturning the moratorium.
“We trust that this review will allow Britain’s huge shale gas resources to be exploited,” said chief executive Francis Egan.
But Friends of the Earth energy activist Danny Gross said “energy efficiency and developing the U.K.’s vast renewable power potential are the best ways to deal with the energy crisis and bring down soaring fuel bills.”
On Thursday the U.K. government will release its long-term energy strategy, which is expected to call for more nuclear power plants and offshore wind farms — but not more onshore wind farms, which are seen by some Conservative lawmakers as vote-losing eyesores.
The United Nations’ climate panel warned Monday that temperatures on Earth will shoot past a key danger point unless greenhouse gas emissions fall faster than countries have committed to. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change revealed “a litany of broken climate promises” that “put us firmly on track toward an unlivable world.”

INSTITUTE — With a lineup stacked with former Putnam County players, the Lady Yellow Jackets of West Virginia State University hosted the Lady Mountain Lions of Concord for a double-header on Saturday afternoon, April 2, at Institute.
The Yellow Jackets broke .500 for the first time this season and earned their first season sweep after Saturday’s outing with Concord. The Yellow Jackets hit Concord pitching for 17 hits between the two games, including back-to-back jacks to walk-off game two. Emily Moore won game one for her first victory of the season and Megan Shoemaker earned her first collegiate career victory.
GAME 1: WVSU 4, CONCORD 3
Kasey Murphy got the start and pitched four scoreless innings. Lindsey Phares got aboard in the bottom of the third inning with a lead-off single and Emily Moore grabbed a two out walk just before Paige Scruggs hit a double to score both Moore and Phares.
Concord cut the lead in half in the top of the fifth inning, then plated two more in the top of the seventh to go up by a single run, 3-2.
Murphy and Ruth picked up back-to-back walks. Moore doubled to left center, scoring Murphy but Ruth was thrown out at the plate trying to score the winning run. The win was merely delayed as Scruggs singled, scoring Moore and securing the game one victory.
Scruggs went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Moore went 2-for-3 with a double and the other RBI.
GAME 2: WVSU 6, CONCORD 5
Autumn Thompson got the call for game two and also pitched four scoreless innings. The Yellow Jackets didn’t waste any time taking the lead with Kerrigan Moore scoring on a wild pitch in the opening frame.
All was quiet until Concord plated two runs to take the lead in the top of the fifth. Kerigan Moore singled in the bottom of the frame, then stole second. Phares reached on a fielding error and scored K. Moore, tying the game for the second time.
Concord took the lead back in the top of the sixth, plating two more and chasing Thompson, 4-2. E. Moore got a lead-off double, then briefly exited when Hannah Wilson entered to pinch run. Scruggs singled then stole second, allowing Wilson to score on the throw. Layla Mendoza doubled two batters later, scoring Scruggs and tying the game for the third time.
The tie was once again short lived as Concord plated the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh. E. Moore was chased after giving a lead-off walk, bringing in Shoemaker.
Autumn Thompson led-off the inning with a ground out. Phares then tied it up with a solo shot to left field, chasing the Concord pitcher. The first pitch from the new pitcher to Emma Ruth was sent over the fence in left field giving the Jackets their second straight walk-off victory in dramatic fashion.
Ruth went 2-for-4 with the game-winning jack. Scruggs went 2-for-3, scoring a run. K. Moore went 1-for-3 and scored twice. Thompson pitched five innings, walking two and fanning two. Shoemaker got the win in one inning of work, allowing only one hit.
The Jackets concluded the homestand Sunday with a twinbill against Glenville State at Lady Jackets Field, where they recorded their fifth and sixth consecutive home wins of the season, shutting out the Pioneers in game one with an 8-0 run-rule shortened game, and an 8-7 come-from-behind victory in game two.
The Yellow Jackets are set to play at University of Charleston at 4 p.m. today.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges that he remotely led a plot to stop Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
Though he wasn’t at the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, prosecutors say Tarrio organized encrypted chats with Proud Boys members in the weeks before the attack, had a 42-second phone call with another member of the group in the building during the insurrection and took credit for the chaos at the Capitol.
Police had arrested Tarrio in Washington two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. The day before the Capitol was attacked, a judge ordered Tarrio to stay out of Washington.
Tarrio’s indictment said that instead of staying out of town, he met with Oath Keepers founder and leader Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes and others in an underground parking garage for about 30 minutes on Jan. 5.
His lawyers have said the evidence against Tarrio was weak and relies mostly on text messages and social media.
A judge has postponed the May 18 trial for Tarrio and five others affiliated with the far-right group.
Prosecutors sought the postponement to give them more time to assess and share with opposing lawyers new information gathered in the investigation. Some defendants in the case agreed with the postponement request.
A new trial date is expected to be picked during an April 21 hearing.

Proponents of clean energy and thinks tanks have long said it’s possible to reduce emissions and keep an economy growing. Now the latest report from the world’s top climate scientists says 18 countries have done just that, sustaining emissions reductions “for at least a decade” as their economies continued to grow.
The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) did not name the countries, citing inconsistency in the data.
But using figures from Global Carbon Project, which are not part of the report, The Associated Press found 19 nations where the pre-pandemic annual carbon dioxide emissions were at least 10 million metric tons less in 2019 than in 2010. They are the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, Ukraine, France, Spain, Greece, Netherlands, Mexico, Finland, Singapore, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Poland, Romania and Sweden.
The IPCC identified three common factors for countries that have been able to decarbonize: They used less energy, transitioned away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and increased the energy efficiency of their products.
Such countries “can export a model that shows we can reduce emissions and still have high levels of well-being,” said Greg Nemet, a professor of energy and public policy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison La Follette School of Public Affairs. ”We can export policies that have played a role in achieving that.”
While the list of countries points a way forward, it also raises questions of equity. The United States, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom are among the largest contributors to historical carbon emissions. Their residents already have electricity and to a large degree, vehicles.
Nemet, who is also a lead author of the IPCC report, added that developed countries that have been historical contributors to climate change and have been able to decarbonize need to take a “leadership” role in helping developing countries do the same.
Historic emissions and discussions of responsibility are always discussed during U.N. climate conferences. But getting industrialized countries to agree on whether compensation for damages is warranted or how much they should pay to help poorer countries invest in green technologies, has all proved elusive.
The least developed countries in the world are estimated to have emitted just 3.3% of global greenhouse gases in 2019, Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, pointed out in a statement to the AP. Some experts note that developing countries often are forced to borrow money at higher rates of interest than developed nations, which can make large capital projects prohibitive.
“The 18 countries that have balanced emissions reduction and economic growth are indeed examples that give us hope for the future but… all developed nations have a historic responsibility to ensure that they lean in – whether on the Paris Accord targets of delivering $100 billion a year in climate finance, on ensuring poorer countries have access to technology and knowledge to make these shifts,” or by leading, making these transitions first, she said.
Michael Grubb, a lead writer on the IPCC report and professor of energy and climate change at the University College of London, said in the report that scientists ran economic and emissions scenarios to see what would happen globally at different levels of carbon pollution reduction. In nearly every scenario — including the “most aggressive” ones to cut carbon emissions — the global gross domestic product still nearly doubled by mid-century. Even in the scenario with the deepest emission cuts, GDP jumped 96%, Grubb said.
“The point is in practice, what we do in climate mitigation in macroeconomic terms is really going to be lost in the noise of the overall effectiveness of our economic policies,” he said.
Grubb said the IPCC report declined to name the 18 countries because the data for some counted only carbon dioxide while for others included all greenhouse gases. Baseline years also differed. Depending on the parameters, there are more nations that reduced emissions while growing their economies, he said.
Patricia Romero-Lankao, a senior scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and lead author of the portion of the IPCC report on national and subnational policies, said she’s optimistic. But she stressed how much more must be done to aid disadvantaged communities and regions in decarbonizing and repairing the impacts of climate change.
“This is not a technical problem,” she said. “We need to understand what they need, what challenges they face and how we can adapt our toolset to help us respond to that.”

JACKSONVILLE, Ark. — An Arkansas special education teacher is celebrating her students after she helped them write and illustrate a book.
Kathy Eason, a teacher at Jacksonville Middle School, had her sixth, seventh, and eighth students create the book Kindness Matters.
The book is a series of thoughts, feelings, and observations from the students on what kindness means to them.
At a press conference Tuesday, the children had the opportunity to read their own page.
Not only are they published authors now, but published artists as well.
They worked on it the whole first semester producing the feel good book of the year and one proud teacher.
"This just makes me so happy to see them work so hard for something and to be proud of their work," Eason said.

Man who killed stepdaughter with heroin and hid body in ditch jailed for life
Wednesday 6 April 2022 06:13, UK
A man has been jailed for life after murdering his stepdaughter by injecting her with a lethal dose of heroin, before hiding her body in a ditch behind an abandoned house.
Wesley Hadsell killed Anjelica "AJ" Hadsell in 2015 while she spent a break from university at her family home in Norfolk, Virginia.
Hadsell kidnapped the 18-year-old, assaulted her and then injected her with a lethal dose of heroin.
Police found her body five weeks later, partially buried in a drainage ditch behind an abandoned house. A post-mortem found she died from acute heroin poisoning and "homicidal violence".
Hadsell, 50, was sentenced to life in prison plus 15 years, after being convicted of first-degree murder, concealing a body and possessing drugs in jail.
During his sentencing hearing he continued to plead his innocence, claiming Anjelica took her own life.
"I have been wrongfully convicted of these crimes but this fight is not over," he said.
Judge L Wayne Farmer said Hadsell's claim was "offensive", adding: "You took a beautiful life and dumped it like trash."
Shortly before Anjelica died, Hadsell's wife had kicked him out of the house because of drug use, prosecutors said.
Hadsell was charged with the murder in 2018 and his first trial in 2020 was declared a mistrial after two days over disagreements on what evidence the jury should be allowed to hear.
Police investigating the case said Hadsell kidnapped Anjelica while she was folding laundry and listening to music in the living room.
Prosecutors said he then tried to distract police by lying and planting evidence in various places, including one of her jackets at a friend's home.
Hadsell admitted to breaking into the home during an interview with a local TV station but denied hiding the jacket there.

Ghanaian wonderkid Kamaldeen Sulemana has been rated as among the best performing youngsters in Europe by the CIES Football Observatory.
The football statistical and analytics company did the research into it with their partner InStat.
Kamaldeen is rated 11th among the best 100 performing players under the age of 21 with all of the outfield players from 32 European leagues.
They took into cognizance players' performance compared to colleagues, the employer team's sporting level, and that of opponents.
The study not only mentions a player's pitch position, but also the role they play within the squad based on fifteen technical profile factors.
The latter are based on 11 game indicators gathered by our partners InStat and span eight different game areas, as specified in the 74th edition of the CIES Football Observatory Monthly Report: air defence, ground defence, recovery, distribution, take on, chance generation, air assault, and shooting.
He has four goals and two assists to his credit.
The 20-year-old is now sidelined with a back injury and has been out since February 20.

BUSINESS yesterday welcomed the immediate end of the National State of Disaster after 750 days, which also averted a possible court battle against the government.
However, concerns have remained over the proposed amendments to National Health Act regulations and some aspects that could hinder tourism in the country.
President Cyril Ramaphosa late on Monday announced the end of the National State of Disaster, with some regulations only lapsing after 30 days to assist in limiting the spread of Covid-19.
These include the compulsory wearing of face masks indoors, restrictions on the number of people at gatherings, and provisions relating to international travellers.
Business Unity South Africa (Busa) chief executive yesterday Cas Coovadia said the lifting of the State of Disaster and the passing of the 30-day transition period would give South Africa the opportunity to accelerate its efforts to grow the economy.
“We now urge the government to demonstrate courageous leadership in taking the tough decisions to attract investment and work with business and other social partners to grow our economy,” Coovadia said.
However, Federated Hospitality Association of South Africa (Fedhasa) said it required the urgent removal of the PCR test requirement for unvaccinated children between the age of five and 12 years as this was damaging inbound family travel to South Africa as well as hindering South African families from travelling.
Fedhasa national chairperson Rosemary Anderson said the issue lay in the fact that many countries did not offer vaccinations for children between five and 12 years, and neither does South Africa.
“This means even if parents are fully vaccinated, a family with children aged between five and 12 years has no choice but to have to pay for PCR tests, which we know in certain countries like the UK is not only onerous to obtain, but also expensive,” she said.
The government seemingly had no choice but to terminate the State of Disaster to avoid a showdown with trade union Solidarity.
Solidarity’s urgent application to end the state of disaster would have been heard in court on Monday, but was abandoned after the government conceded to Solidarity’s demands a week ago.
Solidarity chief executive Dirk Hermann said the government realised that the state of disaster was irrational and unlawful, and wanted to avoid a court case at all costs.
“After more than two years of abnormal government and major uncertainty we are finally moving away from empty promises and feeble excuses,” he said.
Solidarity also announced that it would challenge the irrationality of the newly proposed health regulations.
The health regulations under the National Health Act that were gazetted for public comments until April 16 are meant to ensure a mechanism to control and manage the resurgence of Covid-19 and an outbreak of any pandemic in the future.
The Regulations in the main seek to introduce few amendments to the Surveillance and Control of Notifiable Diseases and Medical Conditions, to include Covid-19 as such.
DearSA, which was also taking the government to court over the state of disaster, said they were very concerned with the government's intentions to move certain far-reaching restrictions to the National Health Act.
DearSA chief executive Gideon Joubert said doing so would effectively make these lockdown regulations permanent, and effectively allow the state of disaster to continue indefinitely.
“The government is essentially clinging to the extraordinary emergency powers they would now have to surrender,” Joubert said. “There is no disaster, hence there is no honest reason to amend regulations.”

The Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER), University of Ghana is set to undertake a $4.92 million research project on policies and incentives to deepen Digital Finance Retail Distribution Networks (DFRDN) in Low-and-Middle-Income countries (LMICs).
The initiative will focus on deepening digital financial inclusion and how to improve women’s access to financial services in LMICs.
It will be launched in the first half of 2022 with an event to Kickstart the project and the issuance of the first Requests for Proposals (RFP) for pilot studies and experimental research.
The project is led by Professor Peter Quartey, Director of ISSER with Professor Francis Annan of the Georgia State University, Dr David Ameyaw, Visiting Scholar, ISSER and Director of International Centre for Evaluation and Development (ICED), and Dr Simon Bawakyillenuo of the ISSER, as Co-Principal Investigators.
The DFRDN Project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will be led by ISSER and implemented through any qualified field partner, including but not limited to the Institute’s own internal research project teams.
It will seek to engage researchers from the Global North and the Global South, with the goal of expanding the representation of researchers from the Global South in development studies, fostering future partnerships and capacity building.
Prof. Peter Quartey, in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, said: “A meaningful response to the growing interest and pressure to deepen digital finance requires strong data and evidence-led insights to guide the framing of policies.
He said the DFRDN project was timely and opportune for the ISSER to contribute and "deepen digital financial inclusion with data and illuminating findings".
The Director of ISSER said despite the strong evidence demonstrating the essential role of agent networks in driving financial inclusion for underbanked populations, data from LMICs suggested that agent networks remained quite sparse, particularly in poorer peri-urban and rural locations.
The DFRDN project, therefore, aims to demonstrate how to effectively expand the reach of agent networks through public policy and commercial solutions that can plausibly be scaled.
It will also advance public knowledge about the structural constraints limiting agent networks globally.

Over-ear headphones are large and completely cover the ears. Because of their size, they usually offer the most bass and have the longest-lasting battery life if they’re wireless. Although many find them too bulky to wear for workouts, they’re fine for walking since it’s not a rigorous activity.
On-ear
On-ear headphones rest firmly on the ears and are more lightweight than over-ear headphones, making them more suitable for traveling and exercising. However, they usually don’t pack as much bass because they’re smaller.
In-ear
In-ear headphones, commonly referred to as earphones or earbuds, are the most lightweight, portable headphones. They’re also the most comfortable since they don’t rest on top of your head, so they’re ideal for exercising. Although there are varying styles, most are suitable for walking.
What to look for in quality headphones for walking
Wireless
Wired headphones are cheaper than wireless headphones and great for listening in a sedentary position, such as while working at the office or listening to music in your room. However, headphone wires are cumbersome and can make you feel constrained as you move, making wireless headphones the better option for walking and other exercises.
Ingress Protection rating
An IP rating refers to a product’s dust and water resistance and is expressed as IPXX. After IP, the first digit refers to its resistance to dust and dirt, while the second relates to moisture resistance. An X means the product hasn’t been sufficiently tested for protection in that area.
For example, headphones with an IPX7 rating have an unknown dust and dirt protection rating but can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes to a depth of 1 meter.
You don’t need headphones with a high IP rating if the only exercise you’ll be using them for is walking. However, walking for extended periods, especially in a warm environment, will cause you to sweat, so your headphones should at least have some moisture resistance.
Noise-canceling
Noise-canceling technology drowns out the external sounds in your environment. With noise-canceling technology, you can tune the level of ambient sound to suit your environment.
It’s a great feature for walking indoors on a treadmill or outdoors on a secure path. However, most of the time, you’re going to want to hear ambient sound when walking outdoors. Using noise-canceling can expose you to hazards such as traffic and cyclists since you wouldn’t be able to hear them.
Controls and voice assistants
It can be dangerous to be distracted while walking outdoors, so hands-free controls and access to voice assistants are advisable and convenient. Many headphones let you access voice assistants like Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant and have buttons for managing phone calls and your music. With them, you don’t have to use your phone to switch songs, adjust the volume or take a call.

Which KitchenAid hand mixer is best?
Mixing ingredients by hand not only takes a lot of time, but it can also be physically fatiguing. You may find that you quickly break a sweat trying to whip your egg whites to stiff peaks or get that perfect consistency on whipped cream. Powered hand mixers take all the hassle and effort out of those jobs, and KitchenAid makes some of the best.
KitchenAid mixers are available at various price points and in both cordless and corded models. They also come in a wide range of stylish colors, including red, tangerine, aqua cream and blue velvet.
One of the best things about hand mixers is how versatile they are, and that is where the KitchenAid Nine-Speed Digital Hand Mixer KHM926OB really shines. As the name says, it boasts nine speeds, and it comes with four types of attachments to handle all kinds of tasks.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers vs. KitchenAid stand mixers
Stand mixers and hand mixers are commonly found in home and commercial kitchens. Both are very versatile tools, and there is a lot of overlap between the jobs they can perform. Some notable differences between the two may make one better suited for your personal needs than the other.
Perhaps the two most significant benefits of hand mixers are the lower cost and compact size. KitchenAid stand mixers can easily cost $400-$500, while hand mixers cost less than half of that. This makes them a better choice for those on a budget. Hand mixers are also notably smaller and easier to store, making them ideal for kitchens limited in space.
Stand mixers win in terms of convenience and versatility. In addition to things like mixing dough, beating eggs and blending ingredients, stand mixers can also be used for grinding meat, making ice cream and rolling out pasta, as long as you have the necessary attachments. Stand mixers can also perform many of their tasks autonomously without you having to stand there holding the machine the entire time.
Corded vs. cordless
KitchenAid hand mixers are available in corded and cordless models. Cordless models are easier to maneuver without having to worry about being tethered to a power outlet the entire time or a cord knocking something over on the counter.
The downside to cordless models is that you’ll have to remember to charge them regularly, and there is always a chance they could run out of juice in the middle of cooking. Thankfully, KitchenAid has mitigated this issue by making their cordless hand mixers capable of working while plugging them into charge.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A QUALITY KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
Speeds
KitchenAid mixers have anywhere from three to nine speed settings depending on the model. The more speeds a hand mixer has, the more jobs you can use it for since some delicate tasks may require slower speeds while others are best performed at very fast speeds.
Soft start
Hand mixers with a soft start feature begin slowly and then work up to the set speed. This is very helpful for avoiding unwanted messes since you’ll have better control over the mixer and are less likely to send some of the ingredients flying out of the bowl.
Self-standing design
Though not vital to performance, a self-standing design is a nice-to-have feature. This allows you to set down the mixer to focus on another task without having to lay it on its side with the mixing attachments touching the counter.
Ejection button
Anything that adds convenience when in the kitchen helps to make your job easier, and ejection buttons do just that. They eliminate any potential hassle involved in trying to pull out the mixing attachments. Instead, you push a button, and they pop right off.
Attachments
The number of attachments a hand mixer has dictates its versatility in the kitchen. At the very least, every model will come with egg beaters. It is also common for them to include a whisk. Some less common attachments you may also get with some premium models are dough hooks and a blending rod.
HOW MUCH YOU CAN EXPECT TO SPEND ON A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers cost $50-$200.
KITCHENAID HAND MIXER FAQ
Do KitchenAid hand mixers come with a warranty?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are backed by a limited one-year warranty covering replacement parts and labor for fixing manufacturer defects.
Are KitchenAid hand mixers difficult to clean?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are designed to be easy to clean. They have minimal cracks and crevices for food to get stuck in, and the attachments are all dishwasher safe.

While there is a possibility the hawkish Fed narrative will continue to drive prices, the expectation of higher rates is not really news at this stage. Pullbacks for the S&P to the 200-day moving average at 4,490 should be considered a buying opportunity.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Connor McDavid scored 31 seconds into overtime off a perfect pass from goalie Mike Smith and the Edmonton Oilers rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tied it with a short-handed goal with 8:04 remaining in regulation before McDavid won it thanks to an assist from a unusual playmaker.
Smith stopped Brent Burns on a rush early in overtime and immediately played the puck ahead to a racing McDavid, who corralled it just past center ice and beat James Reimer for the winner. The goal extended McDavid's points streak to 14 games, giving him 12 goals and 15 assists during the run.
“Our goalie makes maybe the play of the year there with that save and having the presence of mind to throw it up there,” McDavid said. “Smitty plays the puck unbelievably well. He was so good all night. For that to happen, it was pretty special to be a part of that play.”
The victory moved the Oilers into second place in the Pacific Division with a one-point lead over Los Angeles, although the Kings have a game in hand. Edmonton is five points ahead of fourth-place Vegas in the division.
Smith made 31 saves to keep the Oilers in the game in regulation before helping to win it in overtime.
“It feels like we kind of maybe stole two here, but it doesn’t matter how you do it at this time of year," McDavid said.
Tomas Hertl scored a power-play goal in the first period but the Sharks were unable to hold onto the lead and lost their fourth straight. Reimer made 22 saves.
“We did everything we needed to do five on five,” coach Bob Boughner said. “That was one of our best, most solid games in a long time. A little bit of the story of our year. Outchanced a team, had so many chances. Smith played great and you can't get that second goal that you need.”
San Jose had a chance to add onto the lead with the power play midway through the third period. But the top unit failed to generate and then the second unit let the Oilers tie it when Nugent-Hopkins finished after pretty passes from Darnell Nurse and Zach Hyman set him up at the side of the net.
“I thought our team showed a little bit of resiliency," coach Jay Woodcroft said. "I didn’t think it was our smoothest game or cleanest game. But down by one heading into the third period, finding a way to win in overtime in dramatic fashion. It’s a credit to our sticktoitiveness and the hard work of all those players in that dressing room.”
San Jose capitalized on a power play in the first period when Brent Burns set up Hertl for a one-timer from the circle. Hertl beat Smith for his 27th goal of the season.
SITTING OUT
The Oilers played without 50-goal scorer Leon Draisaitl, who sat out a day after he missed practice for what was called a “maintenance day.” Draisaitl took part in an optional skate Tuesday morning but wasn't able to play in the game.
Draisaitl reached the 50-goal mark for the second time in his career on Sunday in Anaheim. He has a 12-game points streak with 12 goals and 10 assists in that span. His absence ends his streak of 354 consecutive outings that started on Oct. 24, 2017.
YOUTH MOVEMENT
The Sharks played four rookies — forwards Jonah Gadjovich, Scott Reedy and Sasha Chmelevski, and defenseman Ryan Merkley — to give them 373 games played by rookies this season. That surpassed the 1992-93 and 2005-06 seasons for the second most in franchise history to the 491 games played by rookies in the 1991-92 expansion season.
KNOCKED OUT
Sharks forward John Leonard left the game early in the second period after blocking a shot with his foot and didn't return.
UP NEXT
Oilers: At Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Sharks: Host Calgary on Thursday night.

Pelicans down Kings, seal Western Conference play-in bid
CJ McCollum and Jaxson Hayes scored 23 points apiece Tuesday night as the New Orleans Pelicans clinched a Western Conference play-in berth with a 123-109 victory over the host Sacramento Kings.
Hayes, with 12 rebounds, and Willy Hernangomez, with 12 points and 12 rebounds, put up double-doubles for the Pelicans (35-44) who remained one game ahead of the 10th-place San Antonio Spurs (34-45), who won at Denver.
Davion Mitchell had 15 points and 17 assists for the Kings (29-51), who were formally eliminated from the Western postseason race two nights earlier.
Immediately following a tight first half after which the Pelicans took a 60-57 advantage to the locker room, Brandon Ingram, Herbert Jones and Hayes nailed consecutive 3-pointers in a nine-point flurry that increased the margin to 12 in the second minute of the third period.
In losing for just the third time in their past seven games, the Kings got as close as four later in the third quarter and were down just 105-99 after a Chimezie Metu hoop with 7:23 remaining in the game.
However, McCollum hit two baskets in a 8-3 burst that broke the game open and allowed the visitors to coast home with a fourth triumph in the past five games.
McCollum shot 10-for-19 and Hayes 10-for-14 en route as the Pelicans converted 51.1 percent of their shots.
Ingram finished with 17 points, seven rebounds and a team-high eight assists for New Orleans. Devonte' Graham and Trey Murphy III chipped in with 14 apiece while Larry Nance Jr. had 10.
The Kings lost despite shooting 51.3 percent. En route to a team-high 22 points, Damian Jones was the most accurate of the hosts, shooting 8-for-10.
Jeremy Lamb matched Mitchell with 15 points for the Kings, while Metu and Harrison Barnes added 12 apiece.
Barnes pulled down six rebounds for Sacramento, which split the season series with the Pelicans 2-2.

The Great Lakes Loons, who narrowly missed a playoff berth last season, are back in Midland with something to prove in their 15th year, all as a Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate.
If you’re a fan of the long ball (and who isn’t?), last season was fun to watch as the Loons set a club record with 187 home runs. Yet when you’re a part of the Dodgers’ organization, no matter the level, the expectations are to win.
“We felt like we were a playoff team,” said manager Austin Chubb, entering his second season at the helm of the Loons. “COVID changed the format last year. Only two teams made the playoffs in a championship series format. We care about winning. Some organizations in the minors are strictly about development. Our players want to win, and development is part of winning.”
The forecast calls for a high of 46 degrees on Friday, when the Loons host the West Michigan Whitecaps in a 6:05 p.m. game at Dow Diamond to open the season.
Michigan’s cold weather is a rude awakening to Chubb, who is from Orlando, Florida, and many of his players who also hail from warm-weather climates. But the Loons, armed with a solid five-man pitching rotation backed by good defense, are built for early spring baseball in the Midwest.
“The strength of our club is solid pitching and a strong bullpen,” said Chubb, the first former Great Lakes player to serve as the team's manager. “Looking at it from a weather standpoint, if we pitch and play defense, we’ll be in games. I think this group is going to be energetic. We have two guys (Jorbit Vivas and Eddys Leonard) that are 40-man major league roster players.”
Chubb spent six weeks in Arizona for spring training, working with players for varying degrees of time. He and the Loons were greeted by chilly weather when they arrived in Midland earlier this week, but that’s part of the challenge of playing baseball in April here.
“I’ve played in Oregon and got a taste of the cold, but nothing like this,” said slugger Jonny Deluca, a Los Angeles native who returns in a Loons uniform after bashing 22 home runs in the minors last season. “We have a really good, diverse group. Our pitching is going to be elite and our position players can do a little bit of everything.”
“Jonny had a very good spring,” Chubb said of Deluca. “He was here for about half the season last year and hit about 20 home runs. But he’s more than a home run hitter. He can run and is a complete player.”
Chubb is also anticipating another big season from Leonard, a utility player extraordinaire who is widely regarded as a top Dodgers prospect. In 41 games for the Loons last season, Leonard batted .299 with eight home runs.
Kyle Hurt, a hard-throwing righthanded pitcher, is fully recovered from a shoulder impingement issue that cut short his 2021 campaign.
“It’s cold, but I’m excited,” he said. “I’ve never pitched in cold like this. Oregon was nothing compared to this.”
Hurt said he worked on developing confidence in his fastball during spring training and pitched in last fall’s Arizona League. This will be his second year of minor league ball.
“Throw a lot of strikes and try not to be too cute,” he said of his approach.
Hurt is scheduled to take the mound next Tuesday against the Peoria Chiefs in Peoria, Illinois, where the forecast calls for a high of 71 on Tuesday.
The Loons’ roster currently features 31 players — 18 pitchers and 13 position players. Pitcher Cole Percival is the son of Troy Percival, a four-time MLB All-Star pitcher who spent 14 years in the big leagues, primarily with the Angels.
Leonel Valera, the Loons’ career leader in games played at shortstop, returns to anchor the infield in his third season in Midland.
In the days leading up to the Loons’ season opener on Friday, pitching is the emphasis in practice.
“Most days have been planned around pitching,” Chubb said. “We’re playing simulated games in which guys can get cuts against live pitching.”
The skipper doesn’t expect his club to duplicate last year’s home run barrage, but does say, “We have a lineup with the ability to drive the ball out of the ballpark. This team can run. On paper, with the cold weather, our pitching staff and the ability to put the ball in play, we should be in games.”
Spring is filled with optimism, and there’s a lot of that circulating around the dugout and the entire Loons organization as they embark on the 2022 season.
“Speed and power is a pretty good combination,” Deluca said. “To me, it’s about going out and performing to the best of your ability. I have overarching goals but stay away from statistical goals. I changed my swing in spring training to try and get better. I don’t worry about getting called up. Those things are out of my control.”
Chubb feels his players are as motivated as he is this season.
“We had a chance at the postseason last season and came up a bit short, so we all have a chip on our shoulder to go even further and win a championship in Midland,” he said.

Al Batt: Yabba dabba soundtrack
Published 5:56 pm Tuesday, April 5, 2022
Echoes from the Loafers’ Club Meeting
Have you ever had the theme song from “The Flintstones,” “Gilligan’s Island” or “The Beverly Hillbillies” stuck in your brain?
No.
Well, you do now.
Driving by Bruce’s drive
I have a wonderful neighbor named Bruce. Whenever I pass his drive, thoughts occur to me. I needed footwear. Now I have lightweight Hey Dude shoes. I got them to emulate my 13-year-old grandson. He’s on the school council and he’s cool. I want to be cool, too.
A guy I used to know gave me a pen for my trip to Israel. I’d misplaced the writing instrument until finding it outside this spring. I’d probably dropped it in the snow while filling bird feeders. I was happy to find the faithful pen. It was better reuniting with that old pen than obtaining a new one. I try to be happy with what I have and want less. That doesn’t apply to wanting cool shoes.
A sweet potato moon
I enjoyed sweet potato pie while thinking of the time I’d parked my carcass in a Tennessee cafe. On the next stool, a man, who might have had nose hair extensions, was lubing his burger with mayo, ketchup and mustard. Other diners had cellphones at the ready after ordering photogenic foods. I was in Memphis and determined to enjoy a southern tradition—an RC Cola and a MoonPie. I had it without the RC Cola. I’m not much for soft drinks. The MoonPie was created in 1917 as marshmallow sandwiched between round graham cracker cookies and dipped in chocolate frosting. The story goes that Kentucky coal miners wanted a filling snack and expressed their wishes to a salesman from a bakery. One miner held his hands to the sky and framed the moon to indicate how big the snack should be. That size proved problematic. The Chattanooga (Tennessee) Bakery produced a smaller version and the MoonPie became an icon of the working class. It was found in the lunch pails of miners and is a customary item thrown during Mardi Gras. In Mobile, Alabama, you could ring in the New Year by watching a 600-pound electronic MoonPie drop. There is an annual RC Cola-MoonPie Festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Stories vary as to the origin of the name. It came from a bell and buckle tied around a tree close to a free-flowing creek or natives carved a bell and buckle into a tree to discourage settlers or the bell and buckle symbol was used by surveyors to signify the usefulness of the land for pasture. RC Cola began in Columbus, Georgia, and was endorsed by Bing Crosby, Lucille Ball, Shirley Temple, Ronald Reagan, Claudette Colbert, Loretta Young and Joan Crawford. Big Bill Lister, who toured with Hank Williams and was billed as “Radio’s Tallest Singing Cowboy”—standing 6 foot 7 inches tall without his cowboy boots and hat—sang “Gimme an RC Cola and a MoonPie and play ‘Maple on the Hill’” Tracy Byrd sang, “Our champagne and caviar is an RC Cola and a MoonPie.” I had my vanilla-coated MoonPie with a glass of water. It was good.
Nature notes
I seek magic. A yard-filling flock of red-winged blackbirds blackening the ground was magical. My world needed to hear their song. It’s spring singing. Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed how the natural sounds people hear when outdoors affect well-being. They found a chorus of birdsong increased welfare. I tried to determine by use of my Hartland Grade School arithmetic how many blackbirds there were and reckoned there were at least 14, but that might have been low. I’d estimate it was hundreds. A much smaller flock of rusty blackbirds blew in with a storm. I’m always happy to see them. I yelled, “Pour another cup of water into the soup, we have company.” Brown-headed cowbirds joined the commotion on the ground below the feeders. A female cowbird was taking a break in a lilac when two male house sparrows attacked her. She fought back and the battle was prolonged. Had her parasitizing reputation preceded her? Was it over a prime perching position? Or was it merely orneriness? Interesting behavior no matter the cause.
A male and female cardinal kissed on a lilac branch. He offered her a sunflower seed and their bills touched in what I found a heartwarming moment. It’s known as mate feeding and is a sign of courtship.
Crows walked bandy-legged over the lawn, searching winter’s detritus for food.

Second booster shields elderly from COVID but protection wanes quickly - study
The second booster's protection against infection dwindled after four weeks, Israeli researchers showed in their study published on Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A fourth dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine lowered rates of COVID-19 among the elderly but the protection against infection appeared short-lived, a large study in Israel has found.
The second booster's protection against infection dwindled after four weeks, Israeli researchers showed in their study published on Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Protection against severe illness did not wane during the six weeks after the dose but more follow-up study was needed to evaluate its longer-term protection, the researchers said.
The study on 1.3 million people aged 60 and older looked at data from the Israeli Ministry of Health database between Jan. 10 and March 2, when the Omicron variant was predominant.
It comes ahead of a meeting by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday to discuss the need for additional boosters, a week after the United States authorised a second booster shot for people aged 50 and older amid a spread of the Omicron sub-variant BA.2.
European health ministers have also urged the bloc's governments to back a fourth dose for people over 60.
In Asia, South Korea started giving out fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines in February and Singapore has said a second booster dose is planned for those aged 80 and older.
Another study from Israel showed last month that seniors who received a second booster of the Pfizer Inc/BioNTech SE COVID-19 vaccine had a 78% lower mortality rate than those who got just one.
Israel started offering a second booster in January.
Earlier this month, Canada's state statistics agency announced that the country's economy fell well short of anticipated growth rates and not enough to enough to overturn the coronavirus pandemic-induced contraction in 2020. Furthermore, the country remains gripped by an inflationary crisis, with the inflation rate rising to 5.7 percent in February, marking the highest increase since August of 1991.

Knife wielding masked man jailed after threatening teen girls
- Credit: Charlotte Bond/Suffolk Constabulary
A man wearing a “vendetta” mask who brandished a kitchen knife and threatened to stab and slash the throats of two teenage girls in a Woodbridge street has been jailed for 13 months.
Terrance Nicholls, who was wearing a white mask with black eye and mouth markings, told the girls, who were 16 and 15 : “If you walk round the corner I’ll stab you” and then held the bread knife, which had a nine inch blade, above his head before walking away, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
When a local resident approached the girls to see if they were all right Nicholls had returned naked from the waist up and invited him to go to a nearby car park to fight, said Isobel Ascherson, prosecuting.
A resident of Pembroke Avenue who came out of his home called the police after hearing Nicholls tell the girls: “I’ll slash your throats” before pulling out the bread knife again.
Nicholls, 32, admitted having a knife in Pembroke Avenue, Woodbridge, where he was living, on July 9 2020 and an offence of affray on the same date.
In addition to being jailed he was banned from contacting two of the victims of the offences for five years and from going to Pembroke Avenue or St Edmunds Close, Woodbridge.
Adam Norris for Nicholls said his client had mental health issues and although he appeared brash and aggressive on the surface underneath he was “tearful and vulnerable.”

Nicholls, who has 78 previous convictions, was jailed for 21 months last month for offences of burglary and inflicting grievous bodily harm.
On that occasion the court heard that an Ipswich woman suffered a broken jaw after she was punched in the face by Nicholls after he stole keys from her home.
The woman had been at her home in Hawthorn Drive, Ipswich in September last year when a passer-by saw Nicholls going into her house and told her what she’d seen.
When the woman realised her keys, which had been left on a table just inside the front door were missing, she ran out into the street and demanded that Nicholls give her back the keys.
She pinned him against a wall and he had then punched her in the face with his fist causing a bilateral fracture to her jaw.
She later underwent surgery to have two metal plates fitted to help her jaw heal.

LVIV, Ukraine - Russian forces overnight struck a fuel depot and a factory in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, and the number of casualties remains unclear, the region’s Governor Valentyn Reznichenko said Wednesday on the Telegram messaging app.
“The night was alarming and difficult. The enemy attacked our area from the air and hit the oil depot and one of the plants. The oil depot with fuel was destroyed. Rescuers are still putting out the flames at the plant. There is a strong fire,” Reznichenko wrote.
In the eastern Luhansk region, Tuesday’s shelling of Rubizhne city killed one and injured five more, Governor Serhiy Haidai said Wednesday on Telegram.
The Russian military continues to focus its efforts on preparing for an offensive in Ukraine’s east, according to a Wednesday morning update by Ukraine’s General Staff, with the aim “to establish complete control over the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.”
Parts of the two regions have been under control of Russia-backed rebels since 2014 and are recognized by Moscow as independent states.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden approved a $100 million transfer of Javelin anti-armor missiles to Ukraine on Tuesday, according to an administration official.
The transfer brings the total of U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to $2.4 billion since Biden took office last January.
The White House announced late Tuesday that Biden approved the assistance, which is funded as part of a broader $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine approved by Congress last month after Russia’s invasion.
The administration official confirmed that it was for a transfer of the Javelin missiles, which have been requested by the Ukrainian military to combat Russian armor.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said French President Emmanuel Macron has agreed to provide technical and expert support for an investigation into crimes committed by Russian troops in Bucha and elsewhere.
Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he also asked Macron to help the people trapped in the besieged southern city of Mariupol.
In an interview with Turkey’s Haberturk television in Kyiv, Zelenskyy accused Russia of trying to hide its actions in Mariupol and didn’t want humanitarian aid to enter the city “until they clean it all up.”
Zelenskyy said he also expects European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to visit Kyiv soon.

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian forces still are trying to push deep into Ukraine in the east, but the Ukrainian army is holding them back.
In his daily night-time video address to the nation late Tuesday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was aware that Russia was gathering up reinforcements for another offensive.
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine is outnumbered both in troops and equipment.
“We don’t have a choice – the fate of our land and of our people is being decided,” he said. “We know what we are fighting for. And we will do everything to win.”
__
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late Tuesday that he and Western leaders have discussed a new round of sanctions against Russia.
“After what the world saw in Bucha, the sanctions against Russia must be commensurate with the gravity of the war crimes committed by the occupiers,” Zelenskyy said in his daily night-time video address to the nation.
In coordination with the European Union and Group of Seven nations, the U.S. will roll out more sanctions against Russia on Wednesday. That reportedly will include a ban on all new investment in the country.
Also, the EU’s executive branch has proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia in what would be the first time the 27-nation bloc has sanctioned the country’s lucrative energy industry over the war.
The coal imports amount to an estimated 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year.

Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said the Russian forces stopped the buses accompanied by workers of the International Committee of the Red Cross from traveling to the Sea of Azov port on Tuesday. The civilians who were able to leave in their personal vehicles traveled to Zaporizhzhia.
Mariupol has been besieged by Russian forces for a month, cut off from food, water and energy supplies and has faced relentless artillery barrage and air raids that killed thousands.

LVIV, Ukraine — A regional official in western Ukraine says a Russian missile hit fertilizer tanks, polluting ground water.
Ternopil region Gov. Volodymyr Trush said Tuesday that the Russian missile strike destroyed six reservoirs filled with fertilizers, resulting in an ammonia leak into ground water and the Ikva River.
Authorities are advising residents not to use water wells and stop fishing and officials have organized drinking water deliveries. Trush say the environmental situation is expected to stabilize in a few days.

MOSCOW — The Russian foreign minister is accusing Ukraine's government of sabotaging talks on ending the fighting in Ukraine, warning that Moscow will not “play cat and mouse.”
Sergey Lavrov specifically warns that Moscow will not accept the Ukrainian demand that a prospective peace agreement include an immediate pullout of Russian troops to be followed by a referendum in Ukraine on accepting the deal.
In televised remarks Tuesday, he says that if the peace deal fails to win approval in a referendum, a new deal will have to be negotiated. He says that “we don’t want to play such cat and mouse.”
Lavrov pointed at a 2015 peace deal for eastern Ukraine signed in Minsk, Belarus, that was brokered by France and Germany but never implemented. He says that “we don’t want a repeat of the Minsk agreements.”
He also says Ukraine is “sabotaging” the talks by stonewalling Russian demands for “demilitarization” and “denazification” of the country.
The tough statements from Lavrov contrasted with optimistic signals made by both Ukrainian and Russian representatives after the latest round of talks in Istanbul, Turkey, on March 29.

Thousands of cryptocurrency enthusiasts are gathering in Miami as the city builds its reputation as one of the key locations to develop the blockchain technology despite its underdog status.
Dozens of companies are using the Bitcoin 2022 conference running Wednesday through Friday as a venue to network, pitch ideas and share announcements to the industry and beyond.
New York City and Silicon Valley continued to lead in funding raised by blockchain startups in 2021, with $6.5 billion and $3.9 billion. But Miami is now tied with Los Angeles, where firms pulled in more than $760 million in funding, according to market research firm CB Insights.
Cryptocurrency exchange FTX bought the naming rights for the NBA arena in downtown Miami last year, replacing American Airlines. The largest crypto company to move to Miami so far, Blockchain.com, will house 200 employees at a location in the hip Wynwood district, where other tech firms and investors are setting up shop as well.
“Wynwood just really has that sort of spirit that you are looking for when a new tech sector is built,” said Blockchain.com CEO and co-founder Peter Smith, comparing it to San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood and New York City’s Brooklyn. “Ultimately you want to be with the other tech companies.”
Many cite a welcoming environment cultivated by local officials, mainly Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who has attracted national attention by luring tech investment and becoming one of America’s crypto-friendly mayors.
Others note that both Miami and Florida are business-friendly and remained open during the pandemic, making it more attractive as a location where people could work remotely.
“It’s possible to move to a place where you can buy a house and see the sunshine every day,” Smith said.
All this enthusiasm strikes a sharp contrast with bitcoin’s own rough year. On the financial side, the cryptocurrency hit a high of $67,553.95 back in November just before plunging by almost half as of late January; it remains down roughly 30% since that November high. Bitcoin is also largely absent from many of the hottest trends in crypto such as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, which purportedly offer a way to auction off “unique” copies of digital art and other cyberobjects.
More broadly, critics question the assumptions underlying the claimed value and utility of crypto technology, with some likening the hype and so-far unrealized promises of blockchain technologies to a Ponzi scheme that benefits early participants but leaves everyone else in the lurch.
As Miami aims to attract more investment for cryptocurrency projects, Bitcoin 2022 organizers say at least 75 companies will be making announcements at the conference.
Last year, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele made international news at the event, unveiling by video that his country would be the first to make cryptocurrency legal tender. Bukele will be at the conference this year.
One of the most-anticipated announcements may come from 27-year-old Jack Mallers, CEO of bitcoin payment app Strike, who worked with Bukele’s government on the nationwide bitcoin launch.
Mallers also partnered with Twitter to synchronize his app with the social network to make it possible to send digital money as “tips” without needing a bank like Cash App and PayPal, demonstrating on a video how he sent $10 to a man at a Salvadoran Starbucks.
“Why would anyone ever use Western Union again? When you take one of the world’s largest social internet networks, you combine it with the world’s best open monetary network,” he says on the video posted on YouTube. “Western Union, pawn to E4. What’s your move?”
It remains to be seen what the effort will yield in the future. South Florida saw its population decline by more than 18,000 people between July 2020 and July 2021. And critics worry the city does not have a high-ranking university that could build workforce to make companies thrive, the way the Bay Area and New York do.
But Miami businessman Josip Rupena, who will be speaking about his crypto mortgages startup at the conference, said to give the effort a few years.
Rupena’s company, called Milo, has received $24 million in venture funding from investors to become a lender for people who have made considerable digital wealth but don’t want to convert cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars to buy a home.
“For the first time, I think we have a platform — and a national platform — to tell others that there are really a lot of smart and capable people here. It is great we can amplify that message,” Rupena said.

BUCHAREST, Romania — A car crashed into the gate of the Russian Embassy in the Romanian capital early Wednesday, bursting into flames and killing the driver, police said.
According to police, firefighters who arrived at the scene were able to put the fire out but the driver died at the scene.
There was no immediate information on a possible motive or other details.
Romania, which shares a long land border with Ukraine, has taken in more than 600,000 refugees since Russia invaded its neighbor.
Since the war started Feb. 24, protesters have gathered outside Russia’s embassy in the capital to call an end to the Russian aggression.
On Tuesday, Romania ordered 10 diplomats from the embassy expelled following a string of expulsions of Russian officials across the 27-nation European Union.
Romania’s Foreign Ministry said the actions of 10 embassy workers, who have been declared persona non grata, “contravene the provisions of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relationships.”

Helston parade to mark RNAS Culdrose's 75th anniversary
- Published
More than 150 sailors will march through the streets of a Cornish town to mark the 75th anniversary of a naval air station.
The sailors from RNAS Culdrose will march along Meneage Street and Coinagehall Street in Helston on Wednesday from 10:00 BST.
The annual Freedom of Helston Parade is larger than usual because of the significant anniversary.
A Merlin helicopter is also expected to fly above Coinagehall Street at 11:00.
The Cornish naval airbase was first granted the Freedom of the Borough of Helston in 1958.
It is the highest privilege a town can give to a military establishment.
The base remains one of the largest helicopter bases in Europe, according to the Royal Navy.
Helston mayor, Tim Grattan-Kane, said: "Over many years, its sailors provided the air-sea rescue facility for our community.
"There is no doubt that there are hundreds if not thousands of people who owe their lives to the skills and bravery of the aircrews.
"It is fitting that we also recall their bravery in conflict on the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War.
"Without their willingness to put their helicopters in danger many more ships would have been exposed to danger."
'Strong as ever'
Captain Stuart Finn, the base's commanding officer, said they were "delighted to be back in Helston" after the community event was cancelled for two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said: "This year is especially important to us as we mark 75 years since the commissioning of RNAS Culdrose.
"A lot has happened in that time but the links and bonds between the air station and Helston are as strong as ever."
Road closures will be in place along Meneage Street and Coinage Hall Street during the parade.

Asian Development Bank on Wednesday projected a seven per cent collective growth for South Asian economies in 2022 with the subregion's largest
economy India growing by 7.5 per cent in the current fiscal year before picking up to eight per cent the next year. Releasing its flagship Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2022, the Manila-based multi-lateral funding agency said the growth in South Asia is projected to slow to seven per cent in 2022, before picking up to 7.4 per cent in 2023.
The subregion's growth dynamics are largely driven by India and Pakistan.
"South Asian economies are expected to expand collectively by seven per cent in 2022 and 7.4 per cent in 2023, with India -- the sub-regions largest economy -- expected to grow by 7.5 per cent this fiscal year (FY23) and eight per cent next fiscal year (FY24)," the agency's ADO report said.
Pakistan's growth is forecast to moderate to four per cent in 2022 on weaker domestic demand from monetary tightening and fiscal consolidation before picking up to 4.5 per cent in 2023, it said.
ADB said developing Asia's economies are predicted to grow by 5.2 per cent this year and 5.3 per cent in 2023, thanks to a robust recovery in domestic demand and continued expansion in exports.
"However, uncertainties stemming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the continuing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and tightening by the United States Federal Reserve pose risks to the outlook," ADB Outlook said.
Developing Asia comprises 46 member countries of ADB by geographic group: the Caucasus and Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
South Asia comprises Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
"Economies in developing Asia are starting to find their footing as they slowly emerge from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic," said ADB Chief Economist Albert Park.
However, geopolitical uncertainty and new COVID-19 outbreaks and virus variants could derail this momentum.
"Governments in the region will need to remain vigilant and prepared to take steps to counter these risks. That includes making sure as many people as possible are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Monetary authorities should also continue to monitor their
inflation situation closely and not fall behind the curve," Park said.

Paedophiles should forfeit superannuation to pay compensation, child sex abuse victim says
Paedophiles would have their superannuation assets seized and used to pay for the ongoing care of abuse victims under a proposed legal reform endorsed by the survivor of a notorious child sex offender.
Key points:
- The plan, put forward by Nick Xenophon, has been supported by a victim of Peter Liddy
- Mr Xenophon said there were hundreds of millions in superannuation that should instead go to survivors
- A lawyer said perpetrators were deliberately hiding or moving their assets to prevent victims from accessing them
The proposal, put forward by independent federal Senate candidate Nick Xenophon, is intended to stop child sex offenders hiding assets in superannuation and then accessing them once they are released from prison.
Under current federal bankruptcy laws, there is no provision allowing perpetrators' super to be used for compensation and redress, Mr Xenophon said.
Andy Martin, who was abused between the ages of nine and 12 by notorious South Australian paedophile Peter Liddy, today expressed strong support for the proposed reform.
"Some circumstances need amending, and this is one — if a perpetrator is allowed to hide his assets or put his assets into superannuation, and not allow victims to obtain their compensation or their entitlements, that's just not on," he said.
Mr Xenophon estimated that there could be hundreds of millions of dollars locked away in superannuation accounts of convicted paedophiles across Australia, and said he was aware of one particular case in which "several million dollars" was unavailable to victims.
"Liddy is still incarcerated. Of course, he's a former magistrate, we imagine that he would potentially have significant superannuation left," he said.
"If you've committed this type of abhorrent offence, you shouldn't be able to live in luxury after you get out of prison.
"That money ought to go to the victims."
The proposal was mooted in broader form by the federal government in 2018 — but Mr Xenophon, who recently announced his intention to run for the Senate, said there had been little further progress.
The federal government has been contacted for comment.
Lawyer Andrew Carpenter said it was not simply the case that superannuation was unavailable to victims, but that paedophiles were deliberately taking steps to hide assets to ensure they were out of reach of victims.
"What we're seeing across the board is paedophiles burying their assets in superannuation," he said.
"There's no exceptions under the Bankruptcy Act and people know they can go to jail, sell everything and come out and live a comfortable life based on money they've had set aside."
Scheme would save taxpayers 'billions'
Mr Carpenter said superannuation companies "across the board" had expressed support for the reform, which he described as a "no-brainer".
"Taxpayers are funding, right now, victims of crime compensation applications, Medicare charges, Centrelink, doctors appointments — all because the survivors are needing this treatment and support to live a normal life whilst the offenders leave jail," he said.
"This is something that has cost the taxpayers billions of dollars over the years. It's about time that taxpayers stopped paying for the sins of paedophiles.
"If this law changes … not only will you lose your liberty, you'll stand to lose everything you work for and that's the real deterrent here."
Lisa, a sister of another of Liddy's victims, said it was "abhorrent and contrary to any sense of justice" that sex offenders should enjoy comfortable lives upon their release, when their victims continued to suffer.
"We believe that Peter Liddy went out of his way to thwart his victims' claims, which added considerably to the boys' distress," she said.
"While no amount of compensation would be able to remove the horrific lifetime memories that the victims must endure … the perpetrator should not be able to profit in any way.
"They should be made to do what they can to lessen the impact of their dreadful deeds by forfeiting every material thing for the benefit of their victims' ongoing rehabilitation and welfare."

One of those games we were in total control of, but lost interest in. Coulda been 5 up at HT. Benfica are like a plucky lower half team with a big crowd. Newcastle?
A bit worried about Mo, perhaps he finally just is tired. Trent showed his class, Konate the good & bad of a young talented CB, Virgil stood aloof above them all, Keita generally excellent, Thiago sublime until he was rested.

The investment will enable Productsup to pursue product development and M&A activity that will further its global expansion and mission to empower brands, retailers, marketplaces, and service providers to tell a consistent story across all commerce channels and win more customers
BERLIN, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Productsup, the leading P2C software company, today announced a Series B funding round for more than $70 million (€65 million) led by Bregal Milestone, a leading European technology growth capital firm, with participation from its existing investor, Nordwind Capital. The investment will enable Productsup to further advance its product development, target merger and acquisition opportunities, strengthen its partner network, and expand to new markets to solidify its position as the leading global solution for commerce success.
"What was once a simple task of bringing products to consumers has become an overwhelmingly complex process for today's businesses," said Vincent Peters, CEO at Productsup. "We're in a new era of commerce where outdated approaches are no longer effective. This funding will allow us to work toward our mission to radically rethink how companies manage their products within the commerce ecosystem, ultimately empowering our customers to turn complexity into a competitive advantage."
With global ecommerce sales projected to reach over $5 trillion by 2022, the market is ripe with opportunities for commerce businesses to scale. But research shows that more than one-third (37%) of decision-makers are concerned with the consistency of product information being passed through their tech stack. Productsup fills this gap, working with over 900 global brands, retailers, marketplaces, and service providers to help them gain control over their omnichannel strategy in order to gain market share. Processing over two trillion products per month, the Productsup product-to-consumer (P2C) platform is the only solution available that provides a holistic view of data across every product touchpoint. The platform enables companies to tell a consistent product story across more than 2,500 marketing and selling channels, which drives higher conversions and reduces time-to-market.
Productsup has seen a recent acceleration in its business thanks to its unique set of enterprise capabilities, growing net new ARR by over 60% in the last twelve months. Productsup currently boasts a gross revenue retention rate of 90% and a net revenue retention rate of 120%. Beyond financial gains, the company has increased its headcount from 150 to 300 employees, expanded its leadership team, and was named a leader in P2C management by Constellation Research all within the last year.
"Our decision to partner with Productsup was based on its long-term, sustainable trajectory as a mission-critical enterprise-grade commerce solution," said Cyrus Shey, Managing Partner of Bregal Milestone. "Whereas alternative vendors mostly offer point solutions, Productsup uniquely addresses the needs of the evolving commerce market for a single view of all product information value chains and offers seamless, end-to-end product data control – across all global channels and in real-time."
Productsup will work closely with Bregal Milestone's in-house value creation team, Milestone Performance Partners, to identify and invest in various product development initiatives to further accelerate Productsup's growth. As part of the funding round, Bregal Milestone will partner with existing investor Nordwind Capital who initially invested in the company in 2017 and still retains a majority stake in Productsup after the transaction.
"This investment substantiates the effort and work we have put forth into transforming Productsup to be the P2C category leader," said Christian Plangger, Managing Partner of Nordwind Capital. "We are excited to partner with a renowned technology-focused growth capital firm like Bregal Milestone to continue to build on the company's successes and accelerate its growth globally."
"With technology advancements like the metaverse on the horizon, these are exciting times for the commerce world," said Marcel Hollerbach, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Productsup. "We are about to enter a new era of innovation, so it's our priority to ensure companies are equipped to manage the proliferation of shopping channels and experiences to become the disruptors – not the disrupted."

Car rams Russian Embassy gate in Romania, driver dead
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - A car crashed into the gate of the Russian Embassy in the Romanian capital early Wednesday, bursting into flames and killing the driver, police said.
The sedan rammed into the gate at about 6 a.m. Wednesday but did not enter the Bucharest embassy compound.
Video of the aftermath showed the car engulfed in flames as security personnel ran through the area.
According to police, firefighters who arrived at the scene were able to put the fire out but the driver died at the scene.
There was no immediate information on a possible motive or other details.
In a statement after the incident, the Russian embassy expressed condolences to the family of the driver.

"We must state with regret that whatever the motives of the driver," the statement read. "There is no doubt that he committed this act under the influence of an explosion of anti-Russian hysteria in connection with a staged provocation in the city of Bucha."
The embassy said no employees were injured.
Romania, which shares a long land border with Ukraine, has taken in more than 600,000 refugees since Russia invaded its neighbor.
Since the war started Feb. 24, protesters have gathered outside Russia´s embassy in the capital to call an end to the Russian aggression.
On Tuesday, Romania ordered 10 diplomats from the embassy expelled following a string of expulsions of Russian officials across the 27-nation European Union.
Romania´s Foreign Ministry said the actions of 10 embassy workers, who have been declared persona non grata, "contravene the provisions of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relationships."
The incident comes days after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed Romania´s parliament Monday, when he labeled the slaying of civilians in the town of Bucha a "war crime" and called for tougher sanctions against Russia.
Before Zelenskyy's address, Romania's President of the Chamber of Deputies, Marcel Ciolacu, said that the "horrible images" that emerged after Russian troops withdrew from Bucha have "overwhelmed and revolted us all."

Airline passengers have been hit with further disruption as more than 100 UK flights scheduled for Wednesday were cancelled.
British Airways axed at least 78 flights at Heathrow, while easyJet cancelled at least 30 at Gatwick.
The aviation industry is suffering from a surge in coronavirus-related staff sickness and a shortage of workers following job cuts made during the virus crisis.
To reduce the impact on passengers, most cancellations are being made at least a day in advance and on routes with multiple daily flights, so passengers can be offered alternative departures.
British Airways said many of its cancellations include flights cut as part of its decision last month to reduce its schedule until the end of May.
This was done to boost reliability due to rising Covid-19 cases.
The rate of staff absences at easyJet is around double normal levels.
Airports are also struggling from the combination of staff shortages and a spike in demand as many families head abroad for the school Easter holiday, which is the first since the UK’s coronavirus restrictions for international travellers were dropped.
The situation could worsen this weekend as airports will be used by travellers returning from trips during the first week of the break, and those departing for the second week of the school holiday.
Manchester Airport managing director Karen Smart resigned on Tuesday after weeks of disruption for passengers.
Travellers have faced long delays and chaotic scenes, with queues trailing outside terminals to reach check-in desks and hordes of people waiting to get through security and to pick up luggage.
Piles of suitcases have been left in terminals after travellers abandoned the wait to reclaim their baggage and instead left for home.
Passengers have also reported long queues at Heathrow and Birmingham airports.

COVID outbreak 'extremely grim' as Shanghai extends lockdown
Wednesday, April 06, 2022BEIJING, China (AP) — The COVID-19 outbreak in China's largest metropolis of Shanghai remains “extremely grim” amid an ongoing lockdown confining around 26 million people to their homes, a city official said Tuesday.
The director of Shanghai's working group on epidemic control, Gu Honghui, was quoted by State media as saying that the outbreak in the city was “still running at a high level.”
“The situation is extremely grim,” Gu said.
China has sent more than 10,000 health workers from around the country to aid the city, including 2,000 from the military, and is mass testing residents, some of whom have been locked down for weeks.
Most of eastern Shanghai, which was supposed to reopen last Friday, remained locked down along with the western half of the city.
Shanghai recorded another 13,354 cases on Monday — the vast majority of them asymptomatic — bringing the city's total to more than 73,000 since the latest wave of infections began last month. No deaths have been ascribed to the outbreak driven by the Omicron BA2 variant, which is much more infectious but also less lethal than the previous Delta strain.
A separate outbreak continues to rage in the north-eastern province of Jilin and the capital, Beijing, also saw an additional nine cases, just one of them asymptomatic. Workers shut down an entire shopping centre in the city where a case had been detected.
While China's vaccination rate hovers around 90 per cent, its domestically produced inactivated virus vaccines are seen as weaker than the mRNA vaccines such as those produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna that are used abroad, as well as in the Chinese territories of Hong Kong and Macao. Vaccination rates among the elderly are also much lower than the population at large, with only around half of those over 80 fully vaccinated.
Meanwhile, complaints have arisen in Shanghai over difficulties obtaining food and daily necessities, and shortages of medical workers, volunteers and beds in isolation wards where tens of thousands are being kept for observation.
Shanghai has converted an exhibition hall and other facilities into massive isolation centres where people with mild or no symptoms are housed in a sea of beds separated by temporary partitions.
Public outrage has been fuelled by reports and video clips posted on the internet documenting the death of a nurse who was denied admittance to her own hospital under COVID-19 restrictions, and infant children separated from their parents.
Circulation of footage showing multiple infants kept in cots prompted the city's Public Health Clinical Centre to issue a statement saying the children were being well looked after and had been in the process of being moved to a new facility when the footage was taken.
At a virtual town hall Monday, the US Consulate in Shanghai warned of possible family separations amid the lockdown, but said it had an “extremely limited ability” to intervene in such cases.
Concern is growing about the potential economic impact on China's financial capital, also a major shipping and manufacturing centre. Most public transport has been suspended and non-essential businesses closed, although airports and train stations remain open and the city's port and some major industries such as car plants continue to operate.
International events in the city have been cancelled and three out of five foreign companies with operations in Shanghai say they have cut this year's sales forecasts, according to a survey conducted last week by the American Chamber of Commerce. One-third of the 120 companies that responded to the survey said they have delayed investments.
Despite those concerns and growing public frustration, China says it is sticking to its hardline “zero-tolerance” approach mandating lockdowns, mass testing and the compulsory isolation of all suspected cases and close contacts.

The Prime Minister has defended the decision to hike up national insurance for millions of workers, arguing that the manifesto-breaking rise is “necessary, fair and responsible”.
On Wednesday, national insurance contributions will increase by 1.25 percentage points.
From April 2023 onwards, the NI rate will decrease back to the 2021-22 level, with a new 1.25% health and social care levy legally introduced.
The UK Government predicts that the tax rise will raise £39 billion over the next three years to help reduce the Covid-induced NHS backlog and later reform adult social care for the long-term.
Boris Johnson said: “We must be there for our NHS in the same way that it is there for us.
“Covid led to the longest waiting lists we’ve ever seen, so we will deliver millions more scans, checks and operations in the biggest catch-up programme in the NHS’ history.
“We know this won’t be a quick fix, and we know that we can’t fix waiting lists without fixing social care.
“Our reforms will end the cruel lottery of spiralling and unpredictable care costs once and for all and bring the NHS and social care closer together.
“The levy is the necessary, fair and responsible next step, providing our health and care system with the long term funding it needs as we recover from the pandemic.”
The Conservative Party 2019 election manifesto, which helped Mr Johnson deliver a landslide majority, pledged “not to raise the rates of income tax, national insurance or VAT”.
But senior ministers have argued that the impact of the coronavirus crisis meant that tax promise to the electorate could no longer be kept.
The Tory administration has since increased the tax burden to its highest point in 70 years.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the pandemic had placed “unprecedented pressure on the NHS” and pushed up waiting times.
“This investment will go into tackling those backlogs and will help make sure everyone can get the care and treatment they need,” he said.
According to the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC), the number of people waiting for elective care in England has risen from 4.4 million before the pandemic to six million.
The final number could reach the 10 million mark, with people who did not come forward for treatment during the lockdowns predicted to look for care in the coming months and years, the department said.
DHSC said the extra cash from the NI hike will reduce waiting times and deliver millions more scans, tests and operations, while reforming the way routine services are delivered so the NHS is fit for the future.
Mr Javid added: “We can’t have business as usual, which is why we are rolling out surgical hubs and community diagnostic centres up and down the country to deliver millions more scans, checks and operations.
“This vital funding will ensure the NHS is equipped to not only reduce waiting times but also tackle the big challenges we face, from cancer to heart-disease and dementia.”
Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the Government would “not shy away from the difficult decisions” ministers need to take to “fix our social care system and slash NHS waiting times”.
He said the levy would also be used to cap the cost of care so “people no longer live in fear of losing everything”.
Under the current system, those with assets of more than £23,250 pay their care costs in full.
But under a reformed system from October 2023, anyone with assets under £20,000 will have their care costs fully covered by the state, DHSC said.
The cost of care will then be capped at £86,000, with the point at which people meet the full cost of their care rising from £23,350 to £100,000, nearly four times higher than the current system, according to health officials.
The Government argues the levy is progressive, with the highest 15% of earners paying more than half the revenues.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Ronald Koeman will retake the helm of the Dutch national team after the World Cup following a disappointing stint at Barcelona.
Louis van Gaal will coach the Netherlands through the World Cup but had already said he would not go beyond the tournament in Qatar, which ends on Dec. 18.
That allowed the Dutch soccer federation to bring back Koeman, who had left as national team coach less than two years ago to move to the Spanish club where he won many trophies as a player. He was fired in October after a string of bad results.
“Already during his first term as coach, there was a great sense of happiness about his work and results,” Dutch federation director Marianne van Leeuwen said.
Koeman was equally happy to reclaim a job that he had liked throughout.
“It felt right. The results were good and I got along well with the players,” he said. “It is clear that we will continue down that same road.”
The Dutch federation wanted an early deal since coaches typically move jobs at the end of the regular season. But since the World Cup ends in December, it was fearful few good coaches would be on the market.
Early this week, Van Gaal revealed that he is being treated for an aggressive form of prostate cancer but still plans to lead the team through the World Cup. The Netherlands was drawn to play host Qatar, Senegal and Ecuador.

Lynda La Plante turns 80 next year – but she’s calling this decade “the new 50s”.
“There’s this slew of incredibly old actresses treading the boards, there’s the wonderful Glenda Jackson, 85, doing King Lear, and you think, are we the new 50s? There’s Amanda Barrie, 86 going to India with Miriam Margolyes, 80 [for The Real Marigold Hotel series]. The wonderful actress from Widows, Ann Mitchell, going off to Hungary to make a movie and she’s 82! And it’s like, we’re the new 50s.”
The bestselling crime author of no less than 40 novels – including Cold Shoulder and The Murder Files, as well as the hit TV series Prime Suspect starring Dame Helen Mirren – says there’s “no way” she would retire. “I’ll continue to do it until I drop off the earth. Because I’m still learning new things all the time. I love it, it’s very exciting, it occupies my brain.
“All my friends are the same,” she adds. “I think mental health is absolutely connected to my work. It keeps you very mentally alert.”
And physically, she feels great too. “I’m one of those who gets up and about, I get up at 6am every morning,” she says – despite suffering from insomnia sometimes (the middle of the night is often when she “works the plot out” for her novels).
The 79-year-old’s latest book, Vanished, is the third in the Jack Warr detective series, starts off “a rather irritable investigation of an eccentric lady” and ends up being a murder investigation and hunt for a suspect who appears to vanish into thin air.
A certain amount of solitude is all part and parcel of being a novelist, but for La Plante, that doesn’t mean silence: “When I’m working, I’m energised, talking, being the characters, I’m laughing, crying, I act it out. Sometimes people have walked in and been quite shocked!”
The process of writing can bring up surprising, and sometimes painful, parts of her own life. “You use things in your own life, and you suddenly realise you’re writing a little section or segment of your life that you hadn’t paid much attention to. Like an ectopic pregnancy suddenly appears in the new novel I’m writing, and I remember clearly, I mean, I didn’t know what it was.” La Plante became a mum at 57, after many years of fertility treatments, going through the menopause at 32 and a divorce, when she adopted her son, Lorcan, now 18 (who still lives with her in Richmond, London).
You might think the creation of dark plots, often involving murderous psychopaths, violent crime, drug dealers, steely detectives and intricate forensic evidence (all devised with rigorous real-world research) would take its toll mentally, but La Plante is adamant it doesn’t affect her. “I’m able to lift it with humour,” she says.
Plus, “every novel written us a learning curve” – and that’s what really drives her. She also hosts a podcast called Listening To The Dead, in which she talks to scientists she’s worked with for research over the years. “It’s a very informative podcast for people interested in crime. You can hear me learning, still asking questions about blood splatter and forensic details and fibres.”
Her chosen method of switching off from crime might surprise people though. “I watch very odd programmes – like My 600-lb Life [a weight loss show on TLC]. I am an avid watcher! There’s something absolutely exquisite about how they have fought for their lives, and you go through therapy with them,” she says.
“Another one I like is Curvy Brides’ [Boutique, also TLC]. I love it. The two women that run Curvy Brides’ are so therapeutic, they’re so warm and understanding.”
When it comes to looking after her own diet, she doesn’t want to waste lots of time cooking. “One of the biggest things in my life is finding the chicken that cooks itself in the bag,” she says, laughing. “I try to eat one good meal a day, I’m obsessed with green beans, I eat a lot of green beans.”
Walking her enormous dog Hugo, a Borzoi, is her only form of exercise and brings her a huge amount of happiness. But his battle for his life has dominated La Plante’s for the past year – he’s been in and our of surgery for a punctured lung after swallowing pampas grass.
“I cannot believe this dog has created so much emotion in me, so many tears, so many prayers. All the dogs I’ve had in my life, nothing compares to this one creature – he’s so gentle, and so loving,” she says. “And now he’s eating like a starving donkey but he’s back!”
So what does it take to look as fabulous as La Plante at 79 (apart from dog walks and green beans)?
“I bang on a bit of Nivea or whatever,” she says, when asked if she has a strict skincare regime – and she hasn’t been to a hairdresser in 20-30 years. “My sister cuts my hair,” she laughs, holding her enviably thick blonde tresses. “She lobbed off four inches. I said, ‘I just wanted a trim, what have you done?'”
La Plante even does her own highlights: “You know when you see them with the tin foil? I thought, ‘I can do that!’ So I went to Sainsbury’s, bought the foil, bought the peroxide, mixed it up. I did about two with tin foil and thought, ‘Oh, this is very boring’, so I got the toothbrush.
“So I have very, very minor beauty aids of any description. You could pump me full of Botox and I still have a little wizened face, so what is the point?” she jokes. “The only thing that I occasionally have is a wonderful massage.”
Vanished by Lynda La Plante is published by Zaffre, priced £18.99 in hardback. Available now.

PixAlign ELPEC01 Camera Enables Advanced Projection Installations to Automate Blending, Stacking, Tiling, and More
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Projection technology provides maximum versatility that allows artists, designers and integrators to break free from the set boundaries of today's typical displays. Stunning, super-wide imagery, massive architectural illumination and fully immersive environments are becoming increasingly popular. As projection continues to grow as a powerful medium for sophisticated installations, Epson today announced the new PixAlign™ ELPEC01 camera that adds another layer of convenience and simplified installation for its line-up of interchangeable lens projectors.1
The new camera helps streamline setup for advanced projection applications and attaches directly to the projector or ultra short-throw lens – no tools or adjustments to the angle of view needed. PixAlign joins Epson's impressive selection of projector installation tools, such as Epson Projector Professional Tool (EPPT) and built-in NFC function, to make time-consuming installations and complex applications quicker and easier to deliver.
Blockhouse Studios, who specializes in large-scale architectural projection and original videography, leverages Epson's innovative projector tools to execute stunning digital art experiences. "The ability to control multiple projectors simultaneously is an essential feature for us and Epson's Pro Series projectors and installation tools have been crucial in making setup much more efficient," said Kevin Winkler, owner, Blockhouse Studios. "With the PixAlign cameras and the EPPT software, Epson has made tiling, blending and stacking projectors an easier and faster process we can depend on."
The PixAlign ELPEC01 camera is a seamless solution providing fast access to powerful projection tools for both single- and multi-projector setups. Simply attach the camera to the front of select Epson interchangeable lens projectors or Epson ultra short-throw lenses1 without the need for any angle adjustments. The camera enables tools for screen matching and color calibration,2 stacking assist function,3 tiling assist for edge blending,4 and remote support.
PixAlign helps speed up projector setups by providing fast access to powerful tools, including:
- Stacking Assist Function:3 Stacking assist function allows for fast, simple stacking of two or more Epson Pro Series projectors to create an even brighter picture without the need for manual finetuning. Plus, select Pro Series projectors can perform stacking assist without additional equipment, removing the need for a PC or router.
- Tiling Assist:4 Capable of tiling up to 15 projectors – and up to a 300-inch screen per projector – tiling assist provides automatic edge blending via the EPPT application and PixAlign to display a single, large or super-wide image from multiple projectors.
- Screen Matching and Color Calibration:2 To quickly deliver a seamless, precise picture, color calibration automatically adjusts color to produce vibrant, crisp images. Screen matching automatically adjusts color inconsistencies across multiple networked projectors for high impact multi-display presentations or stunning edge-blended super-wide screen displays.2 Both features can also be set on a schedule to meet unique installation needs.
- Remote Support: PixAlign enables convenient remote monitoring2 by providing real-time camera captures of the projected display for fast, easy troubleshooting.
"Epson's suite of installation tools for Pro Series projectors makes getting advanced projection installations up and running easier than ever before," said Ramzi Shakra, product manager, large venue projectors, Epson America, Inc. "We're excited to see how users will use the PixAlign camera to push the limits of Epson projectors and make their artistic visions come to life."
Epson's advanced installation tools can be used across Pro Series laser projectors with the PixAlign ELPEC01 attached or those with built-in cameras, including the Pro L1000 Series, Pro L30000UNL and select discontinued Pro L models. Users can download the latest projector firmware here to access the full suite of Epson Pro Series features.

Oakland A’s Face Suit Opposing Team’s Waterfront Stadium Project
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- A plan by the Oakland A’s to build a stadium, luxury condominiums, office and retail space on the city’s waterfront should be blocked, groups representing business interests said in a lawsuit.
Groups representing truckers, ocean carriers, terminal operators, longshore workers and other port-related businesses, many of them union-organized, argue the city shouldn’t have approved the environmental impact report for the Oakland Waterfront Ballpark District Project. They are asking a California state court in to rescind the city’s approval of the project last month.

The report didn’t “adequately disclose, analyze, or mitigate all of the significant adverse impacts this massive and disruptive redevelopment on the working waterfront will cause,” Mike Jacob, a spokesman for East Oakland Stadium Alliance, said in an emailed statement.
The A’s want a new ballpark to replace the aging RingCentral Coliseum, a 1960s-era stadium. Multiple attempts to get a project off the ground have stalled, and last year Major League Baseball gave the team the green light to look at relocating out of the city it has called home for 54 years.
The suit names the Oakland Athletics Investment Group, LLC as a defendant, saying it applied to the city for approval of the project.
The development “will cause major disruptions and impacts to both the surrounding community and the operations of the port,” including by eliminating the port’s Howard Terminal, according to Monday’s complaint.
Collectively, the groups that are suing “contribute significantly to the economy and institutions in the city and the region at large,” according to the complaint.
Representatives of the A’s had no immediate comment on the suit. The city of Oakland didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

As the cost of living crisis deepens, amidst warning of a rise in basic food items and soaring energy bills, cash-strapped Brits are looking for savvy tips to try and tighten the purse strings.
From meter reading savings, to tips on how to heat your house without breaking the bank, the latest tip is how you can freeze your leftovers. The penny-pinching pros at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk have shared their selection of foods that shoppers may not know they could store in the freezer.
Chilli, crisps and cheese are among the foods Brits may not know they could freeze. Others include butter, nuts and alcohol.
Read more: Martin Lewis issues 'desperately sad' cheaper alternatives to heating your house
Preserving foods by refrigeration has been a method used for centuries; however there is always speculation over what you should and shouldn’t freeze. The experts at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk have revealed this list to help families lower food wastage and in turn save their hard earned cash.
A NetVoucherCodes.co.uk spokeswoman said: "Freezing your fresh food and leftover meals is a simple way to save money each week. By freezing what you don’t eat, you can save yourself from spending unnecessarily during your weekly shop.
"By compiling this list of foods you didn’t know you could freeze, it will hopefully help weekly shops go the extra mile. When it comes to freezing your food, it’s always advisable to use freezer-proof zip lock bags to keep foods fresh for when you come to use them.
"Remove any excess air before storing and be sure to label and date your preserved foods.”
Here is NetVoucherCodes.co.uk list of the eight surprising foods you can freeze:
1) Baked Goods
Good news if you’re a lover of brownies, cakes and cookies. Baked goods can be stored in tupperware containers for up to three months. A handy snack if you bake them in batches and freeze until you need a sweet-treat fix.
2) Crisps
Freezing crisps is an excellent technique to make them last beyond their expiry date. You can store crisps in their original bag for up to two months.
3) Cheese
Cheese is another contender for your freezer, it can keep for three to six months. Hard cheese performs better in the freezer compared to soft cheeses like ricotta and cottage cheese. Be sure to defrost your cheese before placing it back in the fridge, to avoid it becoming crumbly. You can also freeze grated cheese by adding flour to the bag and shaking well before freezing.
4) Garlic
Keep your garlic in the freezer for up to 12 months. Whether you want to preserve whole cloves or once it’s been sliced, simply place your garlic in a zip lock bag in the freezer to give it a longer shelf life.
5) Butter
Even butter can be made to last. To freeze your butter, wrap tightly in quality kitchen foil or freezer wrap. Salted butter can be preserved in the freezer for up to nine months, if you are freezing unsalted butter it will last for six months.
6) Chopped chilli and herbs
Save yourself from buying excess chilli and herbs at the supermarket and freeze your leftovers. To do so, chop up your leftovers and place them inside an empty water bottle and screw the lid tightly. This will prevent moisture from ruining your chilli and herbs.
7) Alcohol (certain kinds)
Happy days, your unfinished wine can be frozen! This method works best with wines that are better chilled, such as white or rosé. Most spirits are good to go in the freezer, they’ll be kept fresh and cold, but won't freeze completely due to high alcohol content.
8) Nuts
It’s easy to preserve your salted or unsalted fresh nuts. Simply place them in a ziplock freezer back and they’ll last in the freezer for up to nine months. To defrost, simply let them thaw until room temperature. For quicker results, you can reheat your nuts by roasting in a pan or oven. Perfect for garnishing over ice cream or yoghurt.

EU investigates chocolate-linked salmonella outbreak before Easter
BRUSSELS, April 6 (Reuters) - Europe's health agency said on Wednesday it was investigating dozens of reported and suspected cases of salmonella linked with eating chocolate in at least nine countries.
Ferrero recalled Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs from British and Irish shelves on Monday in what it said was a precautionary move. The Italian confectionary group said on Wednesday that no Kinder products released to the market had tested positive for salmonella.
The European Union agency did not mention Ferrero or any other company in a statement, but warned on Wednesday that the reported cases were mostly among children under 10 years old.
"The outbreak is characterised by an unusually high proportion of children being hospitalised, some with severe clinical symptoms such as bloody diarrhoea," the European Centre for Disease prevention and Control (ECDC) said.
Britain has the highest number of incidents with 63 confirmed cases as of April 5, the ECDC said, adding that other countries with probable or confirmed cases are France, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Sweden and Norway.
The EU health agency said it was investigating, together with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), 134 confirmed or probable cases of salmonella.

Red/Blue Workshops try to bridge the political divide. Do they really work?
Editor's note: This story contains language that may be offensive.
Eight Republicans and eight Democrats are seated at long tables in a nondescript community room in a conservative Texas town, with the ambitious assignment of restoring civility in America. Or at least their sliver of it.
They volunteered to come out on a chilly night in February to engage in respectful conversations in hopes of building one small bridge across America's partisan abyss.
Here in La Grange — situated on the rolling prairie between Austin and Houston — folks voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. During the campaign, there were raucous Trump trains honking and hollering in the historic courthouse square. Since the election, MAGA is still potent here. The countryside is dotted with epithets like "F*** Biden" and "Impeach Crazy Joe." Letters to the editor have gotten incendiary.
This so-called Red/Blue Workshop is put on by a nonprofit called Braver Angels that stages encounters and debates all over the country as a way to reduce political polarization. It's one of hundreds of local and national groups that have popped up in recent years to try to heal America's toxic divisions. The formula is simple: invite political opposites to sit down, talk civilly and listen to each other. But with the nation facing such deep and bitter polarization, is that enough?
"I just see our country being torn apart with polarization. And so anything that we can do to work together as Americans and depolarize our conversations is important," retired tax lawyer Karl Schmalz tells the group before they get started. He's serving as a co-moderator for the workshop.
The other co-moderator, Connie Shortes, a retired corporate executive, gets the evening in gear: "The blues are going to go back there, we'll rearrange chairs. And the reds will stay up here."
First up, brainstorming some stereotypes
The participants shuffle to their assigned seats, seeming apprehensive.
The first exercise is self-criticism. Each group is to come up with four stereotypes of themselves — what's exaggerated and what's true. After 45 minutes of brainstorming, a local stockbroker named Chuck Mazac stands up to share the work of the red group.
"Of all the stereotypes that we identified," he says, "the four we have on this list are racists, anti-immigrant, blindly accepting or believing lies, and militaristic gun lovers."
For the blue group, a retired Austin city employee, Helen Niesner, lays out the stereotypes they came up with. "That we are socialists," she says, "there are too many giveaway government programs, that we are for open borders, that we are anti-gun and that we are unpatriotic."
At the end of three intense hours, all 16 participants get a chance to voice their takeaways.
Don Jones, CPA, Republican: "I just wish one of the policies of the red side was to get rid of Facebook. I mean, if there's ever been anything that has driven the rhetoric and the noise is social media."
Maxine Coppinger, real estate agent, Democrat: "Well, I found that we are more alike than we are different and that's the bottom line for me."
Chuck Mazac, broker, Republican: "I found this very, very helpful, and I'm glad I came, even though I was reticent to be here."
Betsy Harwood, retired family therapist, Democrat: "I think that what we see here in this room is the true America. It's a group of people who can get together and talk politely with each other and understand each other. It's not what we see on the news or what we see in social media. That's not the real America."
Can these sorts of "Kumbaya" moments save a nation seemingly at war with itself?
For one thing, this group is uniformly white, gray-haired and college educated. Braver Angels admits this is generally the profile of attendees across the country. The workshops are open to anyone, so participants self-select.
Despite the narrow demographic, co-founder Bill Doherty maintains it's working. "People come to see others on the other political side as having more common values and aspirations for the country than they had imagined," he says. "That's for me the big one."
Doherty is a Minneapolis family therapist and professor who modeled the workshops on his counseling experience: get antagonists to meet face to face. A recent paper by a group of political scientists concluded that the Red/Blue Workshops "significantly reduced polarization" among undergraduate students at four universities, though the results dissipated over time.
Doherty says, "We don't claim that one brief workshop is going to make a permanent difference for most people. If you want to use the viral analogy, they are one effective treatment that has some temporary benefits. But they're not the solution in itself to our problem of polarization."
The divide may be too wide to bridge
A nationally recognized expert in conflict resolution remains skeptical. Peter Coleman is professor of psychology and education at Columbia University and author of The Way Out: How To Overcome Toxic Polarization. He believes these sorts of gatherings — while valuable — are insufficient because the enmity and contempt between Americans runs so deep these days.
"Just meeting with other people, particularly once for a short period of time, is insufficient to changing people's attitudes, habits, the media they watch, the internet that they serve," he says. "All of those factors contribute to this, and you're not going to change all that behavior with an encounter."
In fact, there is no single answer to restore our fractured republic, Coleman says, even if states did away with gerrymandering or Donald Trump retired from public life.
"It really is going to have to be a constellation of answers," he says, "that we come up with together and ideally sparks a social movement."
Some critics question whether a movement that stresses civic politeness is the right strategy for sweeping social change.
"Although it seems like a laudable exercise to have folks bridge political divides, it is not how political power works and it's not how change occurs," says Alex Zamalin, a political scientist and director of African American Studies at the University of Detroit Mercy. His most recent book is Against Civility, The Hidden Racism in Our Obsession with Civility.
"American history shows us," he continues, "that real political change — especially when it comes to issues of equality, freedom and justice — happens through social movements, happens through folks putting pressure on politicians."
More and more groups spring up
Despite its limitations, the civility model of listening and talking across differences has caught fire.
A project called the Bridging Divides Initiative at Stanford University tracks and tries to mitigate political violence in the United States. Its website features a map covered with hundreds of green dots that represent do-good organizations such as American Public Square, Living Room Conversations and the Listen First Project that promote respectful discourse.
"There are a lot of groups like Braver Angels who think of themselves as this bridge-building sector, increasingly," says Shannon Hiller, executive director of the Bridging Divides Initiative. She says going into the midterm elections in November, extremist candidates are using divisive rhetoric that can lead to violence.
"Anything we can do to counter that in our interpersonal relationships, those types of conversations that humanize the other, all have a role to play in reducing political violence in this moment," Hiller says.
Braver Angels is one of the most successful of the bridge-building groups. To date, volunteers have put on nearly 1,600 Red/Blue Workshops and 275 structured debates in all 50 states. This month they initiate a new project, Braver Politics, that will attempt to lower the temperature in school boards, state legislatures and even the U.S. Congress.
The organization's name was originally Better Angels, inspired by the words of Abraham Lincoln in his plea for national unity in his 1861 inaugural address on the eve of the Civil War. The group changed its name to Braver Angels in 2020 over a trademark dispute and as a way to strengthen its message.
Small steps are possible
It's difficult to gauge whether the Braver Angels' Red/Blue Workshop helped bridge the partisan divides in La Grange.
Moderator Connie Shortes says that in the first place, the vibe in the community room was amicable going in, because it's a small town. "There is no anonymity in a small community," she says. "Everybody knows everybody else. So there is a high degree of desire to get along."
She says the dynamic is different, and language more blunt, in workshops she's done in Austin "where most people that come in the room don't know each other and will probably never see each other again."
In terms of noticeable changes, Shortes says Democrats who have participated in local workshops have felt empowered to come out of the closet in their smaller, conservative towns. "I'm noticing the blues being a little more calm about speaking their mind," she says, "or even revealing themselves as being liberal in that community."
Braver Angels has staged two workshops in La Grange, with more planned. Larry Jackson, a former editor and publisher of the local newspaper, the Fayette County Record, has been an observer at both. He thinks these get-togethers can help repair America's tattered democracy in small ways, one community at a time.
"I really think that individual actions matter," he replies. "We're not going to be able to change America here in La Grange. But maybe we can change La Grange."

'I-65 killer' identified more than 30 years after murder of three motel clerks
Harry Edward Greenwell, who died in 2013, has been named as the serial killer who sexually assaulted and fatally shot three women near the Interstate 65 highway in the late 1980s.
Wednesday 6 April 2022 10:32, UK
US police have identified the so-called "I-65 Killer", also known as the "Days Inn Killer", who murdered three motel clerks near a Midwest highway in the late 1980s.
Harry Edward Greenwell, who died aged 68 in 2013, has been named after testing of crime scene samples found a match that was "99.9999% positive", Indiana State police said.
Greenwell was named the "I-65 Killer" because he sexually assaulted and shot dead three women at motels near the major north-south Interstate 65 highway in the central US.
Indiana State Police Sergeant Glen Fifield said in a joint news conference with the FBI on Tuesday: "Greenwell had an extensive criminal history and had been in and out of prison several times, even escaping from jail on two separate occasions.
"He was known to travel frequently in the Midwest."
Sergeant Fifield said both genealogical data and crime scene evidence were used to identify Greenwell after a 30-year search.
The first killing took place in February 1987 when Vicki Heath was sexually assaulted and shot in the head while working a night shift at the Super 8 Hotel in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
Police said the evidence also linked Greenwell to the 1989 sexual assaults and murders of Margaret "Peggy" Gill and Jeanne Gilbert in Indiana.
Ms Gill was working at a Days Inn in Merrillville when she was killed, while Ms Gilbert was working at a Days Inn in Remington.
Sergeant Fifield said investigators also linked Greenwell to the sexual assault of a 21-year-old female clerk at a Days Inn in Columbus, Indiana in January 1990.
"This victim was able to escape her attacker and survive. She was later able to give an excellent physical description of the suspect and details of the crime," the police sergeant said.
"She is the only known victim to have survived the vicious, brutal attacks of this killer."
The woman described her attacker as a man with green eyes and said the right one was lazy, NBC News affiliate WTHR of Indianapolis reported.
Sergeant Fifield said the Indiana state police crime lab matched ballistic evidence related to the murders of Ms Gill and Ms Gilbert.
Police later matched DNA evidence linking the deaths of Ms Heath and Ms Gilbert to the attack in Columbus.
Sergeant Fifield said one of the primary factors linking the four crimes was their proximity to Interstate 65, which runs from Gary, Indiana, to Mobile, Alabama.
The police sergeant also said investigative genealogy, the use of DNA analysis in combination with traditional genealogy research and hospital records "generated a significant and important lead" in the four cases.
Sergeant Fifield continued: "Further investigation and kinship lab testing by the Indiana State Police lab of crime scene samples positive identified the suspect.
"The match was 99.9999% positive.
"It is this scientific breakthrough that ultimately led to the identification of the I-65 killer, Harry Edward Greenwell."
Sergeant Fifield said investigators are continuing to reach out to other police departments in the Midwest because there is a "distinct possibility" that Greenwell committed other unsolved killings, rapes, robberies or assaults.
Kimberly Gilbert Wright, Ms Gilbert's daughter, said at Tuesday's news conference that her family was grateful for the police's efforts to identify her mother's killer.
"She's still in my family's hearts," she said of her mother. "We talk about her as if she hasn't gone. My brother and I were fortunate enough to have spent the last seven months of her life living with her and experiencing the joy that she could bring to every day of our life."
Greenwell was born in Kentucky and died of cancer in Iowa, according to an obituary that was published after his death.

ROSEN, NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS, Encourages Grab Holdings Limited f/k/a Altimeter Growth Corp. Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - GRAB, GRABW
NEW YORK, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Grab Holdings Limited f/k/a Altimeter Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: GRAB) (NASDAQ: GRABW) between November 12, 2021 and March 3, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important May 16, 2022lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Grab securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Grab class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3876 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 16, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Grab's driver supply declined during the third quarter; (2) as a result, Grab continued to invest heavily in driver and consumer incentives to "preemptively recalibrate driver supply"; (3) as a result, Grab's financial results would be adversely impacted, including, among other things, a significant decline in revenue; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Grab's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Grab class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3876 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The site on The Highway was occupied by 'abusive squatters who regularly harassed neighbouring residents,' LDC said.
With rubbish piled up alongside a dilapidated caravan and other vehicles and equipment, the council served an enforcement notice to clear the site that was subsequently ignored. In response the council served an Injunction Order that was also disobeyed, they said.
Councillor Stephen Gauntlett, Cabinet Member for Planning, said:“The impact of this appalling eyesore was made worse by the anti-social behaviour of those living on the site. Their behaviour was making life a misery for those living nearby. I’m delighted that our officers have acted decisively to remove all evidence of what had become an horrendous blot on the landscape.”
The landowner now has a charge on the land for the costs of the work to clear the site.
Councillor Gauntlett added:“I hope this action sends a clear message that we will not tolerate anyone who treats our district with such utter contempt.“The law can be a frustration when it takes longer than we would like to achieve the outcome we all want, but whatever the challenges involved our resolve will not waiver.”

Showdown with Man City not a title decider, insists Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists beating Manchester City will not guarantee them success in the Premier League despite Sunday’s meeting being billed as a title decider.
His side will arrive at the Etihad Stadium knowing an 11th successive league win would put them two points ahead of their rivals, a small but significant advantage at this stage of the season.
But as there is no room for manoeuvre or the slightest error Klopp knows the race will be far from over, especially as his side have the harder-looking run in, with matches against Everton and Manchester United to come before the end of the month.
The morale-boosting 3-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg win over Benfica has allowed them to put one foot in the Champions League semi-finals.
It means they make the short trip down the M62 brimming with confidence as they attempt to get their first league victory at the Etihad since 2015, although they have won there once since in a European tie.
“If we win against City, which is already difficult enough, I think no one would think, ‘that’s it, decided’, because of the quality of the opponent,” said Klopp.
“We play now against the best team in the world but we will give it a try anyway.
“Everyone knows about the importance of the next game, but after this game there will be other game in another competition but also in the Premier League as well.
“If you cannot be first you want to be second, if you are behind then you want to come closer, if you are close you want to overtake.
“That’s the situation and we will give it a proper try.”
Liverpool’s bid for an unprecedented – but still unlikely – quadruple remains on track as, having already secured the Carabao Cup in February, they edged closer a last-four meeting in Europe with either Bayern Munich or Villarreal.
Having cruised into a 2-0 lead through Ibrahima Konate and Sadio Mane, a number of missed chances and Darwin Nunez’s goal just after half-time were reminders that even when things are going well the mood can quickly turn.
Former Porto winger Luis Diaz’s 87th-minute goal restored the two-goal cushion but Klopp is taking nothing for granted in this tie or future games.
“We are in the quarter-final, the semi-final (of the FA Cup) and the further you go in competitions the harder it gets,” he added.
“The Chelsea (League Cup) final was incredibly intense and that’s how all the games will be from now on.
“Since late December it was clear if we want to achieve something we had better win all our games. This is not really likely we know, that’s why we take it game by game.
“Then, maybe, it is a little bit more possible. But it will be really tough.”
A minor concern, although Klopp will not publicly admit it, is the form of Mohamed Salah.
He has not looked the same player since coming back from the Africa Cup of Nations as a runner-up and he has not scored from open play since February 19, with the last of his three subsequent goals from the penalty spot coming on March 12.
Speculation continues over his contract impasse as he looks for a lucrative new deal to replace the one which expires next summer and Klopp, who has fielded questions weekly on the situation, admits that is not helpful.
The Egypt international was substituted midway through the second half after missing a couple of chances but his manager insists he is not yet at the stage where he has to offer the 28-goal forward moral support.
“Completely normal. I did nothing different to what I do usually do,” said Klopp on the way he handled Salah when he came off.
“In that situation everyone wants to score. With all the stories around him at the moment it is clear Mo wants to score as well.
“It is a tough period for Mo and Sadio. Both boys came back from Africa and it is not easy; massive pressure on both shoulders.
“Now it is time for it to settle. It was an important game (in Lisbon) for Mo and Sadio. One could score, one could not. But everything will be fine.”

CBI arrests former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh
Central agency’s move comes in corruption case against NCP leader
Maharashtra’s former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh was on April 6 arrested by the CBI on charges of corruption.
The Central agency has also taken into custody Mr. Deshmukh’s personal assistant Kundan Shinde, personal secretary Sanjeev Palande and suspended police officer Sachin Vaze in the case.
On April 1, the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court granted the agency Mr. Deshmukh’s custody after the CBI filed an application on March 31 seeking the same.
Meanwhile, the Nationalist Congress Party leader moved the Bombay High Court challenging the special court order as he was then admitted to the state-run J.J. hospital for a dislocated shoulder. On April 6, Justice Revati Mohite-Dere recused herself from hearing his plea. The lawyers are expected to go before Justice P.D. Naik.
Mr. Deshmukh is currently in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate on charges of money laundering. He was taken into CBI custody from Arthur Road Jail, where he was lodged from November 2021.
The CBI stepped in after the Bombay High Court on April 5, 2021, had directed a preliminary inquiry against Mr. Deshmukh, 71, after former Police Commissioner of Mumbai Param Bir Singh wrote a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and made allegations that he gave orders to Mr. Vaze to collect ₹100 crore from bars and restaurants.
Mr. Deshmukh was booked under Section 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 7 (public servant taking gratification other than legal remuneration in respect of an official act) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he'd sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk.
The bill is one of several anti-abortion measures still alive in Oklahoma's Legislature this year, part of a trend of GOP-led states passing aggressive anti-abortion legislation as the conservative U.S. Supreme Court is considering ratcheting back abortion rights that have been in place for nearly 50 years.
The Oklahoma bill, which passed the Senate last year, makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the life of the mother, said GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen, of Roland, who sponsored the bill. Under the bill, a person convicted of performing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
"The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman," Olsen said.
Similar anti-abortion bills approved by the Oklahoma Legislature in recent years have been stopped by the courts as unconstitutional.
The bill's passage came on the same day as more than 100 people attended a "Bans Off Oklahoma" rally outside the Capitol in support of abortion rights.
"These legislators have continued their relentless attacks on our freedoms," said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes. "These restrictions are not about improving the safety of the work that we do. They are about shaming and stigmatizing people who need and deserve abortion access."
Wales said Planned Parenthood's abortion clinic in Oklahoma has seen an 800% increase in the number of women from Texas after that state passed the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the U.S. in decades.
The Texas law that took effect last year bans abortion once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy, without exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
Also Tuesday, the Oklahoma House adopted a resolution to recognize lives lost due to abortion and urge citizens to fly flags at half-staff on Jan. 22, the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in its landmark 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.

A Sociology textbook elaborating the "merits and advantages" of the dowry system has sparked a row in India with legislators, activists and social media users asking for its removal.
According to the book's cover page, "Textbook of Sociology for Nurses" by T. K. Indrani is written as per Indian Nursing Council syllabus. However, the nursing body has distanced itself from the regressive text being studied by Second-Year BSc students.
"Indian Nursing Council as a policy does not endorse any author or publication nor has allowed any author to use the name of Indian Nursing Council for their publications," read the statement by the council. It added that the council "strongly condemns any derogatory content which is against the prevailing law of the land."
The matter came to light after a page from the textbook went viral on social media. The page had detailed "merits" of the dowry system, a practice of giving durable goods, cash, and real or movable property to the groom's family by the bride's family.
The page from the book read: "Dowry is helpful in establishing new household as custom of giving household items like cots, mattresses, television, fan, refrigerator, utensils, clothes and even vehicle are found in many parts of our India as dowry."
The book goes on to add that a dowry also "helps ugly looking women find a groom to marry," and that a good education works as an advantage for women because "when the girls are educated or even employed, the demand for a dowry will be less. Thus, it is an indirect advantage."
India's National Commission for Women (NCW) has now asked the Education minister to take remedial action in the matter, according to a report in NDTV. "It sends a very wrong message to students about the prevailing menace of dowry," wrote the commission in its letter.
Taking or giving dowry has long been prohibited under specific Indian laws including the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961. Despite this, several people – especially in rural areas – still follow the practice. The age-old system has led to several deaths of women in the country.
India recorded 6,966 dowry-related deaths in 2020 alone which implies that nearly 19 women were killed every day that year. The number of dowry deaths had stood at 7,141 in 2019 and 7,167 in 2018, per the data provided by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
The highest number of dowry-related cases were registered in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh with 2,274 cases, followed by Bihar with 1,046 cases.

LONDON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of using hunger as a weapon of war by deliberately targeting Ukraine’s essential food supplies.
In an address to Irish lawmakers Wednesday, Zelenskyy said Russian forces “are destroying things that are sustaining livelihoods” including food storage depots, blocking ports so Ukraine could not export food and “putting mines into the fields.”
“For them hunger is also a weapon, a weapon against us ordinary people,” he said, accusing Russia of “deliberately provoking a food crisis” in Ukraine, a major global producer of staples including wheat and sunflower oil.
He said it would have international ramifications, because “there will be a shortage of food and the prices will go up, and this is reality for the millions of people who are hungry, and it will be more difficult for them to feed their families.”
Zelenskyy spoke by video to a joint session of Ireland’s two houses of parliament, the latest in a string of international addresses he has used to rally support for Ukraine.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
BRUSSELS — A senior European Union official says the bloc’s member countries should think about ways of offering asylum to Russian soldiers willing to desert Ukraine battlefields.
European Council president Charles Michel on Wednesday expressed his “outrage at crimes against humanity, against innocent civilians in Bucha and in many other cities.”
He called on Russian soldiers to disobey orders.
“If you want no part in killing your Ukrainian brothers and sisters, if you don’t want to be a criminal, drop your weapons, stop fighting, leave the battlefield,” Michel, who represents the bloc’s governments, said in a speech to the European Parliament
Endorsing an idea previously circulated by some EU lawmakers, Michel added that granting asylum to Russian deserters is “a valuable idea that should be pursued.”

ATHENS, Greece — Greece has joined a list of European countries expelling Russian diplomats, with the foreign ministry announcing on Wednesday it had declared 12 diplomats unwelcome.
The ministry said it had declared 12 members of Russian diplomatic and consular missions accredited to Greece as “personae non gratae,” and that the Russian ambassador had been informed.
It did not specify which diplomats were being expelled or state a reason, beyond citing that the move was carried out in accordance with international treaties.
___
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Cyprus’ foreign minister says a second batch of food, medicine and other articles dispatched to Ukraine is the most humanitarian aid the east Mediterranean island nation has ever sent abroad.
Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said Wednesday the batch weighing 215 metric tons (237 tons) was on its way to the war-torn country through the European Union’s civil protection mechanism. He valued it at more than 2 million euros ($2.2 million). It includes items such as tents and sleeping bags.
According to, Citizens’ Commissioner Panayiotis Sentonas told state broadcaster CyBC that contributions came from ordinary citizens, private businesses, the Cyprus Red Cross and the government.
___
BERLIN — Germany’s foreign minister has accused Russia of spreading disinformation to justify its war in Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Wednesday that “as Russian tanks destroy Ukrainian cities, the Kremlin’s propaganda machine is censoring news, restricting social media, spreading disinformation and punishing those who dare to speak the truth.”
She said the aim was “both clear and cynical: to demoralize the courageous people of Ukraine while keeping Russians in the dark.”
Baerbock spoke in a video message to a conference on disinformation organized by her ministry at which participants also cited examples of Russian efforts to stoke resentment in Europe against refugees from Ukraine.

LONDON — Intel says it is suspending all its business operations in Russia, becoming the latest foreign company to leave because of Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
“Effective immediately, we have suspended all business operations in Russia,” the U.S. chipmaker said late Wednesday.
The company had already suspended shipments to customers in Russia and neighboring ally Belarus after the war broke out.
Intel said it’s working to support its 1,200 employees in Russia and has put in place “business continuity measures” to reduce disruption to its global operations, though it didn’t provide details.
“Intel continues to join the global community in condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine and calling for a swift return to peace,” it said in a statement.

BEIJING — China says the reports and images of civilian deaths in the Ukrainian town of Bucha are “deeply disturbing” and is calling for an investigation.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Wednesday that China supports all initiatives and measures “conducive to alleviating the humanitarian crisis” in the country and is “ready to continue to work together with the international community to prevent any harm to civilians.”
The killings in Bucha may serve to put further pressure on Beijing over its largely pro-Russian stance and attempts to guide public opinion over the war.
China has called for talks while refusing to criticize Russia over its invasion. It opposes economic sanctions on Moscow and blames Washington and NATO for provoking the war and fueling the conflict by sending arms to Ukraine.
Zhao’s remarks echo those the previous day of China’s ambassador to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, who called for an investigation, describing the reports and images of civilian deaths in Bucha as “deeply disturbing.”
___
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has kissed a battered Ukrainian flag that was brought to him from the Ukrainian city of Bucha and called again for an end to the war.
Francis welcomed a half-dozen Ukrainian children up to the stage of the Vatican audience hall at the end of his Wednesday general audience and gave them each a giant chocolate Easter egg. He urged prayers for them and for all Ukrainians.
“The recent news from the war in Ukraine, instead of bringing relief and hope, brought testimony of new atrocities, like the massacre in Bucha, even more horrendous cruelty carried out against civilians, defenseless women and children," the pope said. "They are victims whose innocent blood cries up to the sky and implores that this war be stopped, and that the weapons be silenced. Stop disseminating war and destruction.”
He told the crowd: “These children had to flee to arrive in a safe place. This is the fruit of war.”
The pontiff held up a grimy Ukrainian flag that he said had arrived the previous day at the Vatican from Bucha, where evidence has emerged of what appears to be intentional killings of civilians during the city’s occupation by Russian troops.
Kissing it, he said: “This flag comes from the war, from that martyred city Bucha ... Let us not forget them. Let us not forget the people of Ukraine.”
___
BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Ukrainian ambassador on Wednesday after days of the two countries’ officials trading barbs over Hungary’s position on the war.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto wrote in a social media post on Wednesday that “we condemn military aggression, we stand by Ukraine’s sovereignty,” but that “this is not our war, so we want to and will stay out of it.”
Hungary’s government has refused to supply weapons to Ukraine or allow their transfer across the Hungarian-Ukrainian border, and has fought against applying sanctions on Russian energy imports.
That position has prompted criticisms of Hungary’s government by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy, who on Monday said in an address on Ukrainian television that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban would need to choose between Moscow and “the other world” of the West.
Orban, who won a landslide victory in Hungarian elections on Sunday, in a victory speech depicted Zelenskyy as one of the opponents he and his right-wing party had defeated.
On Tuesday, Szijjarto called on Ukrainian leaders to “stop insulting Hungary and to take note of the will of the Hungarian people.”
___
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Norway is beefing up its police and intelligence work, chiefly in the northern part of the country, which has a nearly 200-kilometer (124-mile) land border with Russia, and wants to spend 100 million kroner ($11.5 million) on it.
Norway’s domestic intelligence service considers the intelligence threat from Russia in the Scandinavian country to have increased, Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl said Wednesday.
The money would be spent on staff and equipment. The government also wants to exert more control over Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic with a Russian settlement. Under a 1920 treaty, Norway has sovereignty over Svalbard, but other signatory countries have rights to exploit its natural resources — coal.
___
The governor of Russia’s Kursk region on the border with Ukraine said Wednesday that Russian border guards were fired at with mortars on Tuesday.
Governor Roman Starovoit said on the messaging app Telegram that the border guards returned fire and that there were “no casualties or destruction” on the Russian side as a result of the incident.
The Ukrainian military has not yet commented on the allegation, and it could not be independently verified.
___
LONDON — British defense officials say 160,000 people remain trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol, where Russian airstrikes and heavy fighting are continuing.
The Ministry of Defense said in an intelligence update Wednesday that those in the city have “no light, communication, medicine, heat or water.” It accused Russian forces of deliberately preventing humanitarian access, “likely to pressure defenders to surrender.”
Repeated attempts by the International Committee of the Red Cross to get a humanitarian convoy into the southern port city have failed. Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russian forces stopped buses accompanied by Red Cross workers from traveling to Mariupol, which had a pre-war population of about 400,000. She said Russian troops allowed 1,496 civilians to leave the Sea of Azov port on Tuesday.
___
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey says it shares the pain of the Ukrainian people over the “horrifying” images that emerged from towns near Kyiv and is calling for an independent investigation.
A statement from Turkey’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday stopped short, however, of blaming Russia or describing the atrocities as a war crime.
Turkey has been measured in its criticism of Russia as it tries to balance its close relations with both Moscow and Kyiv. The country has hosted officials from the two countries for talks in a bid to end the war.
“The images of the massacre ... are horrifying and sad for humanity. We share the pain of the Ukrainian people,” the statement read.
“The targeting of innocent civilians is unacceptable. It is our basic expectation that the issue is subjected to an independent investigation, that those responsible are identified and are held accountable,” it said.
Scenes that have emerged from Bucha, Irpin and other Ukrainian towns liberated by Ukrainian forces have led to accusations of war crimes and demands for tougher sanctions against Russia.
The ministry statement said Turkey would continue its efforts to end such “shameful scenes for humanity and to ensure peace as soon as possible.”
___
LVIV, Ukraine - Russian forces overnight struck a fuel depot and a factory in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, and the number of casualties remains unclear, the region’s Governor Valentyn Reznichenko said Wednesday on the Telegram messaging app.
“The night was alarming and difficult. The enemy attacked our area from the air and hit the oil depot and one of the plants. The oil depot with fuel was destroyed. Rescuers are still putting out the flames at the plant. There is a strong fire,” Reznichenko wrote.
In the eastern Luhansk region, Tuesday’s shelling of Rubizhne city killed one and injured five more, Governor Serhiy Haidai said Wednesday on Telegram.
The Russian military continues to focus its efforts on preparing for an offensive in Ukraine’s east, according to a Wednesday morning update by Ukraine’s General Staff, with the aim “to establish complete control over the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.”
Parts of the two regions have been under control of Russia-backed rebels since 2014 and are recognized by Moscow as independent states.
___
BUCHAREST, Romania — Police in the Romanian capital say a car has crashed into the gate of the Russian Embassy, bursting into flames and killing the driver.
Police in Bucharest say the sedan rammed into the gate at about 6 a.m. Wednesday but did not enter the embassy compound.
Video of the aftermath showed the car engulfed in flames as security personnel ran through the area.
According to police, firefighters who arrived at the scene were able to put the fire out but the driver died at the scene.
There was no immediate information on a possible motive or other details.
___
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden approved a $100 million transfer of Javelin anti-armor missiles to Ukraine on Tuesday, according to an administration official.
The transfer brings the total of U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to $2.4 billion since Biden took office last January.
The White House announced late Tuesday that Biden approved the assistance, which is funded as part of a broader $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine approved by Congress last month after Russia’s invasion.
The administration official confirmed that it was for a transfer of the Javelin missiles, which have been requested by the Ukrainian military to combat Russian armor.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said French President Emmanuel Macron has agreed to provide technical and expert support for an investigation into crimes committed by Russian troops in Bucha and elsewhere.
Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he also asked Macron to help the people trapped in the besieged southern city of Mariupol.
In an interview with Turkey’s Haberturk television in Kyiv, Zelenskyy accused Russia of trying to hide its actions in Mariupol and didn’t want humanitarian aid to enter the city “until they clean it all up.”
Zelenskyy said he also expects European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to visit Kyiv soon.
__
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian forces still are trying to push deep into Ukraine in the east, but the Ukrainian army is holding them back.
In his daily night-time video address to the nation late Tuesday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was aware that Russia was gathering up reinforcements for another offensive.
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine is outnumbered both in troops and equipment.
“We don’t have a choice – the fate of our land and of our people is being decided,” he said. “We know what we are fighting for. And we will do everything to win.”
__
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late Tuesday that he and Western leaders have discussed a new round of sanctions against Russia.
“After what the world saw in Bucha, the sanctions against Russia must be commensurate with the gravity of the war crimes committed by the occupiers,” Zelenskyy said in his daily night-time video address to the nation.
In coordination with the European Union and Group of Seven nations, the U.S. will roll out more sanctions against Russia on Wednesday. That reportedly will include a ban on all new investment in the country.
Also, the EU’s executive branch has proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia in what would be the first time the 27-nation bloc has sanctioned the country’s lucrative energy industry over the war.
The coal imports amount to an estimated 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year.
__
KYIV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian official says Russian troops have allowed 1,496 civilians to evacuate the besieged city of Mariupol by private vehicle but blocked a convoy of evacuation buses from entering.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said the Russian forces stopped the buses accompanied by workers of the International Committee of the Red Cross from traveling to the Sea of Azov port on Tuesday. The civilians who were able to leave in their personal vehicles traveled to Zaporizhzhia.
Mariupol has been besieged by Russian forces for a month, cut off from food, water and energy supplies and has faced relentless artillery barrage and air raids that killed thousands.
__
LVIV, Ukraine — A regional official in western Ukraine says a Russian missile hit fertilizer tanks, polluting ground water.
Ternopil region Gov. Volodymyr Trush said Tuesday that the Russian missile strike destroyed six reservoirs filled with fertilizers, resulting in an ammonia leak into ground water and the Ikva River.
Authorities are advising residents not to use water wells and stop fishing and officials have organized drinking water deliveries. Trush say the environmental situation is expected to stabilize in a few days.
___
MOSCOW — The Russian foreign minister is accusing Ukraine's government of sabotaging talks on ending the fighting in Ukraine, warning that Moscow will not “play cat and mouse.”
Sergey Lavrov specifically warns that Moscow will not accept the Ukrainian demand that a prospective peace agreement include an immediate pullout of Russian troops to be followed by a referendum in Ukraine on accepting the deal.
In televised remarks Tuesday, he says that if the peace deal fails to win approval in a referendum, a new deal will have to be negotiated. He says that “we don’t want to play such cat and mouse.”
Lavrov pointed at a 2015 peace deal for eastern Ukraine signed in Minsk, Belarus, that was brokered by France and Germany but never implemented. He says that “we don’t want a repeat of the Minsk agreements.”
He also says Ukraine is “sabotaging” the talks by stonewalling Russian demands for “demilitarization” and “denazification” of the country.
The tough statements from Lavrov contrasted with optimistic signals made by both Ukrainian and Russian representatives after the latest round of talks in Istanbul, Turkey, on March 29.

Music and entertainment mark special night for boy in the tent Max Woosey
The Pride of Britain winner has so far raised more than £700,000
Pride of Britain winners have joined Max Woosey for a special celebration to mark his two years sleeping in a tent. Max Woosey’s Big Camp Out took to Lobb Field in Braunton on Saturday, March 26 to celebrate his achievement in raising £700,000 for the North Devon Hospice.
More than 100 people came together to enjoy food and drink, as well as music provided on stage by local talent. Max was joined by Harmonie-Rose Allen, the brave seven-year-old who won a Child of Courage Award after losing her limbs to meningitis and best pals Hughie Higginson, 10, and Freddie Xavi, 11 – who won a Young Fundraiser accolade after raising more than £200,000 for Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity.
Tilly Lockey, who is known for her bionic arms and was the champion of the CBBC series Got What it Takes? entertained, and was joined by other singers include Chloe Marie Aston and solo artist Yazzy. After the entertainment had finished, Pride of Britain host Carol Vorderman also visited.
Max, 12, was initially inspired by a family friend who had been helped by the hospice. He has been through 15 tents so far and has no intention on stopping. He said: “Tonight, is Max’s Big Camp Out and it’s absolutely amazing. We’re all having a good time, and it’s lovely to see the stage full of music, see people enjoying themselves, and socialising, and everyone together.
“I never thought anything like this would happen. It’s been a great experience and great fun. Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years including North Devon Hospice who have been amazing in their support of me throughout the two years. I can’t thank them enough for the work they do. It’s fantastic to see them here tonight.
“I have no plans to stop sleeping in my tent. Hopefully I’ll be able to go on forever.”
He apologised to those who joined him for the Big Camp Out adding: “I hope nobody will be woken up because my parents snore a lot.”
Stephen Roberts, chief executive of North Devon Hospice added: “I think Max deserves a celebration like this; two years in a tent is phenomenal. I don’t think he’ll ever realise what a difference that money will make. We were all at the start wondering how far this would go, but I don’t think anyone thought it would be two years and £700,000 later. He’s a legend and he deserves every accolade he’s got. We are all so proud of him.
“Like every organisation and particularly for charities, our income turned off overnight. Our shops were closed, fundraising events were shut down, so the fact that timing is everything, Max stepped up and the money he has raised has directly paid for all our community nursing team. You can tangibly see the difference he’s making to local families here in North Devon.”

Raising babies! Moment infants are lifted 40ft off the ground in the arms of men tied to poles at Hindu festival in India
- Footage shows row of four men holding babies attached to two connected poles
- Ceremony is known as Thookkam and takes place every year at Sree Bhadrakali
- Onlookers cheer as men reach the heigh of trajectory and are paraded around
This is the moment newborn babies being carried by men are hoisted 40 feet into the air on poles during a Hindu ritual in India.
The ceremony, known as Thookkam, takes place every year at Sree Bhadrakali Temple in Kollemcode in the state of Tamil Nadu.
Footage shows a row of four devotees, each holding a baby, wearing traditional costume attached to two interconnected poles.

If they then do fall pregnant, the couples return to the holy site to fulfil their vow to the deity Bhadrakali Amman by offering their babies up to participate in the festival and show their thanks.
Thookkam is an offering that is held at the Bhadrakali temple in Kollemcode in the Kanyakumari district in Tamilnadu during the month of Meenam (late March to late April).
Every year more than a thousand newborn babies are lifted by the men tied to a 40-foot pole and taken for a ride around the temple.
The festival is celebrated annually for 10 days and Thookkam is on the final day of the festival.

An addiction treatment facility, highly regarded by North Carolina lawmakers, sits in a residential neighborhood here and operates like a village in itself. Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers, better known as TROSA, hosts roughly 400 people a day on a campus with rows of housing units, cafeterias, a full gym, and a barbershop.
The program, which began in 1994, is uniquely designed: Treatment, housing, and meals are free to participants. And TROSA doesn't bill insurance. Instead, residents work for about two years in TROSA's many businesses, including a moving company, thrift store, and lawn care service. Program leaders say the work helps residents overcome addiction and train for future jobs. Of those who graduate, 96% of individuals remain sober and 91% are employed a year later, the program's latest report claims.
Impressed with such statistics, state lawmakers recently allotted $11 million for TROSA to expand its model to Winston-Salem. It's the largest amount in the state budget targeted to a single treatment provider and comes on the heels of $6 million North Carolina previously provided for its expansion, as well as $3.2 million TROSA has received in state and federal funds annually for several years.
This latest influx of taxpayer dollars — coming at a time when overdose deaths are surging and each dollar spent on treatment is crucial — is drawing criticism. Advocates, researchers, and some former employees and participants of TROSA say the program takes advantage of participants by making them work without pay and puts their lives at risk by restricting the use of certain medications for opioid use disorder. Although those who graduate may do well, only 25% of participants complete the program — a figure TROSA leaders confirmed.
"If I had known about this funding, I would have been the first person on the mic to [tell lawmakers], 'I don't think you all should do this,'" said K.C. Freeman, who interned at TROSA in 2018 and later spent two months on staff in the medical department. "You can't look at the small number of people who had success and say this works. It's not the majority."
The dispute over TROSA's funding comes amid national conversations about how to allocate billions of dollars available after landmark opioid settlements with drug companies. Two flashpoints in the North Carolina debate may provide a window into heated conversations to come. First: Are work-based rehabs legal or ethical? And second: Should every facility that receives public funding allow participants to use all medications for opioid use disorder?
Work as treatment
Work-based rehabs are widespread across the country. The investigative news outlet Reveal identified at least 300 such facilities, including some that place participants in dangerous jobs at oil refineries or dairy farms with no training and exploit workers to bolster profits.
Many of these programs use a portion of their revenue to sustain the rehab and offer residents free housing or meals. That can make them attractive to state legislators, said Noah Zatz, a UCLA law professor who specializes in employment and labor law.
"Because essentially they're running businesses off of people's uncompensated labor, there is a built-in funding mechanism," he said. "If the state doesn't have to pay full freight to run a program … that might be a reason to like it."
TROSA's annual reports indicate more than half of its multimillion-dollar budget is funded through its businesses at which residents work, as well as goods and services that are donated to the program. About 30% of its funding comes from government grants and contracts.
Although TROSA and its leaders report no significant campaign donations, they spend upward of $75,000 a year on lobbying. In presentations, they often share a 2017 study — conducted by an independent research institute at TROSA's request — which found TROSA saves the state nearly $7.5 million annually in criminal justice and emergency care costs.
The program's self-financing aspect is part of its appeal for North Carolina Sen. Joyce Krawiec, a Republican who represents part of Forsyth County, where TROSA is building its new site.
"The good thing about TROSA: They raised most of their own funds," she said in a phone interview.
It's reasonable that residents don't get paid for their work, she added, since they're already receiving free treatment and housing. Other rehabs can be prohibitively expensive for many families, so TROSA provides a much-needed option.
But being a bargain doesn't necessarily make it legal, Zatz and other labor experts said. A previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling suggests nonprofits that run businesses without paying employees could violate the Fair Labor Standards Act.
But TROSA administrators say they are not an employer; they are a therapeutic community. Clear policies guard against the exploitation of anyone, said Keith Artin, president and CEO. The jobs provide residents with structure and an opportunity to change their behaviors.
"The work-based element is essential to recovery," Artin said. "We're teaching people how to live."
Toward the end of residents' two-year stays, TROSA assists them in job-hunting and allows them to live on campus for several months while they work at a newfound job and build savings.
Diverging work experiences
TROSA's model has widespread support among lawmakers and families affected by addiction. Benjamin Weston said it was "a blessing."
Weston said he started using cocaine as a teenager and struggled with addiction for years. At 22, he entered TROSA. He said he was grateful for two years of free treatment.
After brief assignments in TROSA's thrift store and moving company, Weston transitioned to the development office, where he solicited donations from local businesses. "It was meaningful work that also taught me a lot of good job skills," he said.
Since graduating in 2016, Weston has worked in development for Hope Connection International, a nonprofit his mother started to support survivors of abuse and addiction.
Other graduates interviewed for this article talked about using the moving skills or commercial driving licenses they gained to obtain full-time jobs. Some said they're buying houses and starting families — successes they credit to their experience in the program.
But not every resident finds the work model therapeutic. Several described working 10 to 16 hours a day, six days a week, in physically demanding moving or lawn care businesses. Several said there was little time for therapy and, with only a handful of counselors for hundreds of residents, wait times for a session could span weeks.
Freeman, the former TROSA employee who has a master's in social work, said he thought residents rarely had an opportunity to process the trauma that made them use drugs in the first place. Although Freeman did not counsel clients — his role at TROSA focused on ordering and stocking medications — he said he noticed many graduates returned repeatedly to the program, struggling to stay away from substances once they left campus.
Richard Osborne first heard of TROSA while incarcerated on drug and theft-related charges. Like 38% of TROSA residents, he chose to attend the program as a condition of his probation.
One day in 2017, Osborne and other residents working with the moving company were unloading large boards of plywood from a trailer, when a board fell and smashed him against the trailer, he said. His vision became blurry and he worried about having a concussion, he said.
As he remembers it, no one suggested medical care. "The next day, they told me I had to get back to work," he claimed.
That's when Osborne said he decided to leave.
Today, Osborne, 31, said he has not used drugs in about four years, holds a steady job, and has a loving family. But it's no thanks to TROSA, he said.
"They're taking advantage of people at their low points in life," he said. The moving company brings in $4 million a year, yet residents who work for it are not even allowed to keep tips, he added.
TROSA leaders confirmed the tips policy but said they could not comment on an individual residents' experience. In general, CEO Artin wrote in an email, "when a resident is injured we ensure that they receive immediate medical attention and would never knowingly put a resident at risk."
As a nonprofit, TROSA funnels revenue from its businesses back into the treatment program, he added.
The program's 2020 tax documents show its top five employees combined earned over $750,000 in salary and benefits.
Medication hesitancy
TROSA provides psychiatric care through a contract with Duke Health and offers group or individual counseling to residents who request it. The program employs four full-time counselors and partners with local providers who donate physical therapy, dental care, and other medical services.
But TROSA does not provide access to some of the most effective treatments for opioid use disorder: methadone and buprenorphine. Both medications activate opioid receptors in the brain and reduce opioid withdrawal and cravings. It's been well documented that these medications greatly reduce the risk of opioid overdose death, and the FDA-approved drugs are considered the "gold standard" for treatment.
Right now, TROSA leaders say the only medication for opioid use disorder the program offers is naltrexone, an injectable medication that works differently than the other two because it requires patients to fully detox to be effective. Because of this, some experts are hesitant to use it, saying it puts people at higher risk of overdose death.
About one-third of TROSA participants report opioids are their primary drug of choice.
TROSA leaders said they've discussed adding the other addiction treatment medications but face logistical barriers. All medications at TROSA are self-administered, and leaders worry about diversion of oral methadone and buprenorphine, which are classified as controlled substances. They say they'd consider injectable buprenorphine, but it's costly for their mostly uninsured participants.
"People choose to come here because it is a behavior modification program," said Lisa Finlay, lead clinical counselor at TROSA. "They know that we don't offer buprenorphine or those medications. We have people who have tried those medications in the past and believe that they actually led them back to using."
Evidence suggests that people using medications for opioid use disorder have the best outcomes when they have access to other recovery support services, such as housing, employment, counseling, and a community. But while clinicians across the country have embraced these medications, leaders of residential treatment programs founded in the more traditional 12-step, abstinence-based recovery model have pushed back.
Some old-school recovery leaders claim the use of medications is simply replacing one drug with another, which has created stigma around this form of treatment.
A 2020 study found that about 40% of residential programs surveyed in the U.S. didn't offer opioid use disorder medications and 20% actively discouraged people from using them. In North Carolina, there are 62 licensed long-term residential treatment facilities, according to the SAMHSA treatment locator, and fewer than half accept patients who take these medications. Only 12 facilities are licensed to prescribe buprenorphine.
This has resulted in tough conversations with patients for Kate Roberts, a clinical social worker on a UNC Health team that treats people with severe IV drug-related infections. Once patients are stabilized, many start buprenorphine, she said. Some say they want to go to a residential program for structure, job training, and to learn coping skills. Roberts recalled one patient saying to her: "I need to go to residential treatment and I need this medication because I fear I'll die."
"That’s really heartbreaking to hear a patient clearly articulate what it is that they need … which is in line with the [research] literature," she said. "And that you know there are very few places in the state that offer that."
Doctors and public health experts nationwide are pushing for lawmakers to fund rehab facilities that allow these medications, saying they're the best way to combat the opioid crisis. Some medical and legal experts have said it's in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act to deny recovery services such as housing to people using medications for opioid use disorder. Health experts say that funding abstinence-based addiction programs could also inadvertently cause more overdoses if people leave the program and return to using drugs with a much lower tolerance, especially as fentanyl is rampant in the street drug supply.
These conversations will become only more important as opioid settlement funds arrive, said Bradley Stein, director of the national Rand Opioid Policy Center.
"The goal isn't just to get people into treatment; it's to get people doing better," he said. "You want to make sure that you're using the money effectively."
The conversations have begun in North Carolina. When Rep. Graig Meyer (D-Durham) tweeted his support for TROSA late last year, clinicians reached out to him explaining their concerns about the program not allowing participants to use methadone or buprenorphine.
Although Meyer still believes it's an effective program, he said, "I also have concerns from what I learned about TROSA's approach to treating opioid addiction in particular. I'd like to see TROSA consider what their current practices are."

Spring is in the air and home buyers and sellers are coming out of hibernation. New survey data by Realtor.com shows that homeowners are gearing up to sell this spring and summer. According to the report, 64% of prospective 2022 sellers anticipate doing so within the next six months and with high expectations for making a profit.
Still, the potential uptick in newly-listed homes indicates some much-needed relief could be on the horizon for buyers – especially first-timers. Today’s sellers expect to ask for relatively affordable prices and include a higher share of Millennials than last spring, suggesting that more Americans plan to upgrade from their starter homes.
“The start of the spring 2022 real estate season comes on the heels of a historic pandemic-defined period, which saw Americans respond to health concerns and government-induced quarantines by seeking shelter in homes,” said George Ratiu, senior economist and manager of economic research at Realtor.com.
He explained that monetary policy injected an unprecedented dose of financial liquidity into capital markets, leading to record-breaking low mortgage rates in 2021.
Ratiu said, “In the process, housing markets—already struggling with over a decade of under-building—responded with double-digit price increases, which continued from last year into March 2022, with the median-priced home reaching $405,000. Moreover, in a market heavily skewed in sellers’ favor, homeowners have been able to be picky with competing offers, each one waiving contingencies and concessions in order to stand out, with winners generally bringing a full cash offer to the closing table.”
The survey of 3,000 consumers, which was conducted online in February, also asked about the experiences of recent sellers, who said determining the right time to list was the longest stage of the process.
“Our survey data illustrates the importance of helping empower homeowners to take control of the listing process, by providing information about market conditions, prices and seasonal trends, like the best dates to list your home,” said Ratiu. “While sellers are expected to hold the upper hand in 2022, navigating the listing process remains a challenge – particularly for those also buying in today’s fast-paced market.”
Ratiu said homeowners who are ready to move forward with pandemic-delayed plans will find plenty of opportunity this spring and summer.
“Although accelerating inflation is leading to higher housing costs and living expenses, many buyers remain interested in finding a home,” he explained. “At the same time, recent housing trends suggest demand is beginning to moderate as higher mortgage rates push monthly payments out of some buyers’ budgets, underscoring the long-term need for more affordable inventory.”
Survey data suggests some relief is on the horizon for Americans grappling with one of the worst housing shortages of all-time. Almost two-thirds (64%) of prospective 2022 sellers anticipate listing a home within the next six months.
Whether these sellers follow through with their plans will be key to the forecasted 2022 inventory recovery and critical for buyers hoping to find a home before mortgage rates climb even further. In a positive sign that homeowners are serious about listing, many sellers are already getting their homes ready. However, they are doing so with great expectations of the current market, which means buyers should prepare for sellers asking for high offer prices, quick closes, waived contingencies and more.
- The majority of 2022 prospective sellers plan to list within the next six months, with 9% already listed and the remaining getting ready to list within the next 30 days (11%), one to three months (24%) or four to six months (20%).
- Compared to those who planned to list last spring, this year’s prospective sellers have higher expectations of the hot housing market, including asking for more than their home is worth (42% versus 29%) and refusing to pay for repairs or improvements (28% versus 24%).
- When asked why they are planning to list in 2022, surveyed sellers’ top reason was wanting to profit off the current market, tied with their home no longer meeting their families needs (each at 31%).
- Homeowners’ motivating factors behind moving also reflect the impact of pandemic trends, such as wanting different features after spending so much time at home (15%) and no longer needing to live near their office (14%).
With the oldest Millennials already 40 years old, these homeowners are playing an important role in adding to the supply of starter homes. Millennials represent nearly half (49%) of sellers who plan to list within the next six months, and many anticipate selling at relatively affordable prices. This is welcome news for first-time buyers, who face fierce competition for limited available starter homes. Combined with rising affordability issues as home prices and mortgage rates climb, survey data offers some hope for first-time buyers, based on:
- More Millennials plan to list within the next six months than in March 2021 (75% versus 66%), and account for a higher share of all 2022 prospective sellers (42% versus 26%).
- In a further sign that older Millennials are moving on up from their starter homes, the share of surveyed Millennials who have sold a home before was nearly as high as the overall rate (61% versus 64%).
- Millennials have plenty of financial motivation to stick to their plans, with top reasons for selling reflecting the pressures of rising inflation and economic uncertainties. Compared to all survey respondents, higher shares of Gen Y sellers want a more affordable home (34% versus 21%) and need the sale money as soon as possible (14% versus 11%).
- In a potential sign of more starter homes coming onto the market, the majority of 2022 prospective sellers expect to list in relatively affordable price ranges: $350,000 or less (43%) and $351,000 to $500,000 (22%).
The Covid housing market has largely favored sellers, and many who recently sold were able to take advantage of bidding wars, fast closings, waived contingencies, inspections, appraisals and more.
At the same time, sellers’ experiences highlight the importance of preparation, especially as buyer demand is beginning to moderate. Even among recent sellers who found success, the majority took steps to get their home ready to list, such as making repairs, cleaning and decluttering. Although many sellers were able to list quickly, 41% said the process took longer than they anticipated.
- Over half (53%) of sellers spent less than a month preparing their home for listing, while another 26% said the process took one to three months.
- Forty-one percent of recent sellers said getting their home ready to list took longer than they expected. Determining the right time to enter the market took longer than any step of the home prep process, with 38% of respondents reporting that this decision took more than three months.
- Among steps successful sellers took to prepare their home for listing, top responses included repairs and updates (59%) and cleaning and decluttering (67%). While minor cosmetic updates were the top repairs sellers made before listing, at 53% of respondents, nearly as many fully repainted interiors and replaced flooring (47% each).
The majority (80%) of recent sellers sold at or above their asking price. Other top benefits of the competitive market included: buyers forgoing repair concessions (28%), offers within a week (27%) and waived contingencies such as inspections (25%).

Jiang Li, Ph.D., is the Founder and CEO of Vivalink, Inc.
Politicians love the adage “Never let a good crisis go to waste”—a rallying cry for finding silver linings in tumultuous times. In a post-pandemic world, the healthcare field might be missing exactly that kind of opportunity by failing to explore the full potential of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). DCTs provided a lifeline for disease treatment and drug development when many clinical facilities were so riddled with Covid-19 it was unsafe to continue in-person activities.
Learning More About DCTs
DCTs—studies of treatments or medications done with participants who aren’t in a single location and may never enter a hospital—have been used for many years, but the pandemic made them a vital part of continuing care and drug development. Providing access to clinical trial participation for a more diverse population was already a goal for many healthcare clinicians, but the pandemic spotlighted both the need and the opportunity for trials in this format.
Circumstances made DCTs a necessity, but an examination of their effectiveness during the pandemic laid the groundwork for refinements and improvements—if the potential is fully embraced. Moving forward and making the best use of DCT techniques will require investments in technology, data quality and potential applications. Lessons from the pandemic and earlier should be put into practice to help design more refined, effective trials in the future. Pursuing these aims could ease the burden on participants and tell researchers more about possible clinical applications.
When should a DCT be used?
There’s wide variation in DCTs, as there is in traditional clinical trials, and they aren’t appropriate solutions for every scenario. When it makes clinical, logistical and financial sense, a DCT can provide real-world data reflecting how a patient is affected beyond a specific clinical endpoint. For this discussion, the focus is on drug development trials and the post-pandemic potential for even more effective evaluations of new medications.
Because completely decentralized trials aren’t viable for every case, it may be worth finding situations in which the benefits include greater patient diversity, convenience and compliance. Some researchers point to the potential benefits of new study designs so that by reconsidering study endpoints for safety and efficacy, it might be easier to probe for functional outcomes rather than simply objective academic outcomes. In other words, the study design can factor in how patients fare in their homes, rather than clinical settings, and each participant can be evaluated individually and tracked as to how their results affect a trial endpoint.
DCTs facilitate a practical, patient-oriented set of endpoints to provide a more longitudinal view of the patient’s status. Instead of periodic glimpses, we can see a full picture through continuous data transmission from the remote monitoring technology used to move a trial out of a hospital setting. For example, rather than getting sporadic data points regarding arthritis patient A during visits to a clinical trial location, it’s possible to know that they’re moving up and down stairs more after starting a trial drug and to examine his progression over time.
A close examination of remote monitoring data can allow for a more refined analysis of the patient’s condition. For example, a study can compare the patient to their own data points. Researchers’ access to continuous data can allow them to track individual and study-wide trends more easily.
This approach marks a sea change for an industry that traditionally relies on conventional clinical research and trials—methods that, in some cases, date back to the 1940s. Although the reasoning behind a trial may vary widely depending on the intent and the phase of development, there are reasons to support decentralizing the process.
Shifting The Paradigm
Expanding the thinking on what remote patient monitoring (RPM) and DCTs can achieve with regard to collecting ambulatory data requires innovation in interpretation and collaboration, which could better serve both participants and the industry. The entire industry must embrace the idea of shifting the paradigm—even if just for some trials—from the in-clinic experience to the real-world experience and from a hard and fast objective biomarker to a more functional biomarker.
Addressing the cost is obviously a consideration. Research results show that in traditional clinical trials, patient recruitment and retention are two major issues that can delay development. Those delays, in turn, increase the overall cost. The number of patients needed to establish treatment effects is another major influence on estimated cost, followed by the number of clinic visits required for screening, treatment and assessment.
Given those costs, we can infer that DCTs are inherently more cost-effective and certainly less expensive. Even if the decentralized option isn’t an all-or-nothing proposition, combining some traditional elements with some decentralized aspects offers an opportunity to attain quality, continuous data. This, then, provides the necessary information to shift how we approach some trials to a more viable model.
What’s the next step? As an industry, we must leverage the best infrastructure to accomplish our ultimate goal, including making fit-for-purpose remote sensors and being strategic about their locations. We must be assiduous about how we gather, analyze, handle and present data. By expanding the thinking on what RPM and DCTs can do in the collection of ambulatory data and innovation in interpretation and collaboration, we can better serve both trial participants and the industry.

Govt. departments not to extend services to helmetless two-wheeler riders in Karur district
KARUR April 06, 2022 17:41 ISTWearing helmets mandatory for buying liquor, refuelling from April 18
Seeking to ensure strict compliance of the helmet rule, the district administration has announced that two-wheeler riders without helmets would not be extended any service by government and private agencies / institutions in the district from April 18.
Two-wheeler riders without helmets would not be able to buy liquor at TASMAC outlets and petrol at fuel stations, District Collector T. Prabhushankar has announced.
Seeking to initiate coordinated efforts in this direction, Mr.Prabhushankar chaired a consultative meeting with various government department and private institutions, including educational institutions, public sector organisations and petroleum dealers, on Tuesday and requested their cooperation in ensuring strict compliance.
Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Prabhushankar expressed concern that Karur district was witnessing a high number of fatalities caused by road accidents involving two-wheeler riders. In almost all cases, the deaths were due to two-wheeler riders not wearing helmets.
“In an attempt save precious lives, we have planned to launch a coordinated movement to enforce the helmet rule strictly in the district. Accordingly, two wheeler riders will not be extended any service by government departments, including the District Collectorate, PSUs, hotels, textile and jewellery shops, fuel stations and industries from April 18,” Mr. Prabhushankar said.
All establishments had been instructed to put up signboards in front of their premises to this effect. Signboards would be placed at all Tasmac liquor shops informing customers of the decision.
Fuel stations had been instructed not refuel two-wheelers if the riders were not wearing helmets. Children riding two-wheelers would not be allowed to refuel at the fuel stations. Fuel stations had also been instructed to ensure drivers of four-wheelers wore seat belts, he added.
Pointing out that a majority of employees of private establishments were two-wheeler riders, Mr. Prabhushankar urged owners of the establishments not to permit employees coming to work on two-wheelers without wearing helmets.
Revenue Divisional Officers had been instructed to inspect shops selling helmets and ensure that they sold only ISI certified head gear. Sub-standard products would be seized, he said.

Everyone loves to crunch a crisp don’t they? Well if you're one of the many who do, it’s good news as Wotsits have launched what they say is their crunchiest - and loudest - crisps ever.
Now available across the nation, Walkers launched their Wotsits Crunchy crisps this week, giving snack connoisseurs - including vegetarians - the super crunch they’ve been looking for. They may look like ordinary Wotsits, but these have been made with a bit of a twist.
The Leicester food manufacturer claims that the new crunchier crisps will give snackers a new sensory experience. They’ve also claimed that the snacks, which come in Really Cheesy and Flamin’ Hot varieties, are louder than any other Wotsit on the market.

Katherine Cook from Walkers said: “We know so many people across the UK love Wotsits, both the melty originals and Giants, so not only did we make our new Wotsits crunchier, we also made them louder. No matter if snack lovers love to melt or crunch their Wotsits, they can now do both with the addition of Wotsits Crunchy Really Cheesy and Flamin’ Hot snacks… can you handle them?!”
The newest addition to the Wotsit family comes just a month after Walkers confirmed the long-awaited return of Prawn Cocktail Wotsits. That was after a 20-year hiatus and numerous campaigns to bring the much-loved flavour back onto the shelves.
Wotsits Crunchy Really Cheesy and Flamin’ Hot are available in a 140g sharing bag, with individual 60g bags to launch at a later date. They can be found at all major UK supermarkets.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran on Wednesday said it supplied the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog with documents explaining the discovery of suspect enriched uranium traces, state media reported, the first acknowledgement from Tehran that it had answered the agency's long-standing demands.
The head of Iran's civilian Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, said Iran on March 20 had sent the requested explanations about several former undeclared sites in Iran where there was evidence of past nuclear activity.
The deadline came as part of an agreement announced last month to resolve the problem of undeclared uranium particles in Iran by June — long a source of tension between Tehran and the U.N. atomic watchdog.
The thorny issue is separate from now-stalled talks to revive Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers, which collapsed four years ago when former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the accord and imposed crushing sanctions on Iran. In the meantime, Iran has vastly expanded its nuclear work.
As the fate of a renewed nuclear deal hangs in the balance, long-sought answers about Iran's old but undeclared nuclear sites would improve trust and solve a major sticking point in its negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Eslami's statement.
Eslami told reporters that Iran had handed over documents to the U.N. watchdog about the three requested sites in Iran, without elaborating. He expected agency inspectors to visit Iran “to review the answers" and finish a report on the subject by late June, he added.
The IAEA in 2019 first discovered the traces of man-made uranium that suggested they were once connected to Iran’s nuclear program. U.S. intelligence agencies, Western nations and the IAEA have said Iran ran an organized nuclear weapons program until 2003. Iran long has denied ever seeking nuclear weapons.
As a member of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Iran is obligated to explain the radioactive traces and to provide assurances that they are not being used as part of a nuclear weapons program. The IAEA has staked its credibility on finding information about the sites, with its head Rafael Grossi routinely lambasting Iran for its failure to answer where the radioactive particles came from and where they are now.
Eslami on Wednesday claimed that one of the particles discovered by IAEA inspectors does not exist in Iran, without offering evidence or details. He blamed regional archenemy Israel for “sowing doubts” about the nature of Iran's nuclear program. Israel has said it believes Iran would pursue a nuclear weapon, despite Western intelligence assessments indicating otherwise.
Tehran currently enriches uranium up to 60% purity — its highest level ever and a short technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90% and far greater than the nuclear deal’s 3.67% cap.
Its stockpile of enriched uranium continues to grow as nuclear talks in Vienna flounder, worrying nuclear nonproliferation experts that Iran could be closer to the threshold of having enough material for an atomic weapon if it chose to pursue one.

New study finds low treatment satisfaction, poor control of symptoms, high psychosocial burden and shortcomings in patient centered care for eczema patients worldwide.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Patient Initiative to Improve Eczema Care (GPIIEC), a partnership of eleven patient organizations, today released a global report card of eczema patient care in eight countries: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Germany, United States, and the United Kingdom. The Initiative is a global collaboration to establish a common "yardstick" to assess the responsiveness of health systems to the needs of patients and their caregivers, and to identify opportunities for improvement.
Eczema is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin condition that impacts approximately 15% to 20% of children and 1% to 3% of adults globally, resulting in a significant patient burden and high demand on health care systems. A global survey by the GPIIEC that received over 3,200 responses found that patients in every country, and particularly those who live with moderate-to-severe eczema, are struggling to achieve long-term control of their eczema symptoms and report limited satisfaction with current treatments.
Poorly controlled eczema that can't be fully addressed by existing treatments substantially impacts patients' health-related quality of life. Based on adult patients' descriptions of their health, they would give up between 17-36 percent of their remaining life span in order to be restored to perfect health. Key drivers of this detriment in quality of life were the pain and discomfort of eczema and the mental health impacts such as anxiety and depression.
"We have work to do to improve care for people with eczema worldwide. This data helps us see the gaps and know where to focus our attention," said Marjolaine Hering, with Association Française de l'Eczéma.
Moderate-to-severe eczema is complex and chronic, demanding a high degree of patient involvement in ongoing symptom management. However, training for this role is minimal and patient input into treatment decisions is lacking in almost every country surveyed. Interestingly, shared decision making, defined as asking patients and caregivers about their priorities during a medical visit, was predictive of symptom control. This finding suggests that such involvement may improve medical care and outcomes, and serves as a target for improvement for health systems in each country.
"Through this initiative we are discovering how patients are faring in our country and worldwide and learning from the other patient organizations how to advocate for better medical care and supports for people with eczema," said Thomas Schwennesen of the Deutscher Neurodermitis Bund in Germany.

A deepening opioid epidemic is prompting the U.S. Department of Justice to warn about discrimination against those who are prescribed medication to treat their addictions.
In guidelines published Tuesday, the department’s Civil Rights Division said employers, health care providers, law enforcement agencies that operate jails and others are violating the Americans with Disabilities Act if they discriminate against people for taking prescription drugs to treat opioid use disorder.
“People who have stopped illegally using drugs should not face discrimination when accessing evidence-based treatment or continuing on their path of recovery,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in a statement.
The nation’s addiction overdose crisis has intensified in recent years. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last year that more than 100,000 people had died from overdoses over a 12-month period, the highest level ever recorded.
Most of the deaths are linked to opioids, which include prescription painkillers, morphine, heroin and potent laboratory-made drugs such as fentanyl that often are mixed into the supplies of other illegal drugs.
Public health experts believe that increasing the availability and acceptance of medications such as methadone and buprenorphine to treat opioid addiction is essential to curtailing the crisis. But those drugs — which are themselves opioids — have long had stigmas attached to them.
The Justice Department guidelines clarify that drug addiction is considered an impairment under the ADA. The department says they do not represent a policy change but rather clarify existing requirements.
“We know that seeking and accessing treatment is a critical part of reversing the addiction crisis and the overdose crisis,” said Kevin Roy, the chief public policy officer at the advocacy group Shatterproof. “People are going to be more likely to get treatment because of this policy, and that has the potential to reduce the number of people at risk of overdose death.”
The guidelines give examples of possible violations: A doctor’s office denying care to patients receiving treatment for opioid addiction; a town refusing to allow a treatment facility if the opposition is based on residents’ hostility toward people with addictions; a jail barring inmates from taking prescribed medication to block opioid addiction.
In February, the department sued the judicial system in Pennsylvania, alleging that some courts under its jurisdiction prohibit or limit people in court supervision programs from using medication to treat opioid use disorder. In a response, Pennsylvania officials said they had taken steps to “enhance awareness in the few, discrete judicial districts involved,”
The U.S. reached a settlement with Massachusetts courts last month over similar allegations, prompting the courts to change their practices.
The government last month also reached a settlement with Ready to Work, a Colorado agency that provides services to the homeless. It was accused of denying admission to one would-be participant because she was on medications to treat opioid use disorder. In addition to stopping the discrimination, Ready to Work was required to pay the person who complained $7,500.
The department also sent a letter in March to the Indiana State Board of Nursing over its decision to remove a nurse from a required licensing program over her use of medication to treat an addiction. A spokesperson for the board did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
The Justice Department document notes that federal law does not protect people who are using illegal drugs. A drug rehabilitation program, for example, would not be violating the law if it kicked out a participant who routinely kept using drugs.
But the guidelines do say that a person who uses opioids legally prescribed to treat pain could not be fired because of it.
“The Justice Department is committed to using federal civil rights laws such as the ADA to safeguard people with opioid use disorder from facing discriminatory barriers as they move forward with their lives,” Clarke said.

Which KitchenAid hand mixer is best?
Mixing ingredients by hand not only takes a lot of time, but it can also be physically fatiguing. You may find that you quickly break a sweat trying to whip your egg whites to stiff peaks or get that perfect consistency on whipped cream. Powered hand mixers take all the hassle and effort out of those jobs, and KitchenAid makes some of the best.
KitchenAid mixers are available at various price points and in both cordless and corded models. They also come in a wide range of stylish colors, including red, tangerine, aqua cream and blue velvet.
One of the best things about hand mixers is how versatile they are, and that is where the KitchenAid Nine-Speed Digital Hand Mixer KHM926OB really shines. As the name says, it boasts nine speeds, and it comes with four types of attachments to handle all kinds of tasks.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers vs. KitchenAid stand mixers
Stand mixers and hand mixers are commonly found in home and commercial kitchens. Both are very versatile tools, and there is a lot of overlap between the jobs they can perform. Some notable differences between the two may make one better suited for your personal needs than the other.
Perhaps the two most significant benefits of hand mixers are the lower cost and compact size. KitchenAid stand mixers can easily cost $400-$500, while hand mixers cost less than half of that. This makes them a better choice for those on a budget. Hand mixers are also notably smaller and easier to store, making them ideal for kitchens limited in space.
Stand mixers win in terms of convenience and versatility. In addition to things like mixing dough, beating eggs and blending ingredients, stand mixers can also be used for grinding meat, making ice cream and rolling out pasta, as long as you have the necessary attachments. Stand mixers can also perform many of their tasks autonomously without you having to stand there holding the machine the entire time.
Corded vs. cordless
KitchenAid hand mixers are available in corded and cordless models. Cordless models are easier to maneuver without having to worry about being tethered to a power outlet the entire time or a cord knocking something over on the counter.
The downside to cordless models is that you’ll have to remember to charge them regularly, and there is always a chance they could run out of juice in the middle of cooking. Thankfully, KitchenAid has mitigated this issue by making their cordless hand mixers capable of working while plugging them into charge.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A QUALITY KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
Speeds
KitchenAid mixers have anywhere from three to nine speed settings depending on the model. The more speeds a hand mixer has, the more jobs you can use it for since some delicate tasks may require slower speeds while others are best performed at very fast speeds.
Soft start
Hand mixers with a soft start feature begin slowly and then work up to the set speed. This is very helpful for avoiding unwanted messes since you’ll have better control over the mixer and are less likely to send some of the ingredients flying out of the bowl.
Self-standing design
Though not vital to performance, a self-standing design is a nice-to-have feature. This allows you to set down the mixer to focus on another task without having to lay it on its side with the mixing attachments touching the counter.
Ejection button
Anything that adds convenience when in the kitchen helps to make your job easier, and ejection buttons do just that. They eliminate any potential hassle involved in trying to pull out the mixing attachments. Instead, you push a button, and they pop right off.
Attachments
The number of attachments a hand mixer has dictates its versatility in the kitchen. At the very least, every model will come with egg beaters. It is also common for them to include a whisk. Some less common attachments you may also get with some premium models are dough hooks and a blending rod.
HOW MUCH YOU CAN EXPECT TO SPEND ON A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers cost $50-$200.
KITCHENAID HAND MIXER FAQ
Do KitchenAid hand mixers come with a warranty?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are backed by a limited one-year warranty covering replacement parts and labor for fixing manufacturer defects.
Are KitchenAid hand mixers difficult to clean?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are designed to be easy to clean. They have minimal cracks and crevices for food to get stuck in, and the attachments are all dishwasher safe.

Tracey James, RPh, assumes chief operating officer position to support future company strategy.
ORLANDO, Fla., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AllianceRx Walgreens Prime, one of the largest specialty and home delivery pharmacies in the country, recently announced its intent to rebrand. Effective June 24, 2022, AllianceRx Walgreens Prime will become AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy. Walgreens announced full ownership of AllianceRx Walgreens Prime in January, necessitating the name change.
"While our name is changing, we will be the same specialty and home delivery pharmacy our patients trust and depend on for life-saving medications," says Joel Wright, RPh, chief executive officer. "We will continue putting patients first in everything we do to provide hope and care for better tomorrows."
Wright says additional company changes include the promotion of senior vice president Tracey James, RPh, to chief operating officer. James, a licensed pharmacist who has been with the organization since its inception, will oversee pharmaceutical and payer relations, clinical and professional services, and Specialty360 therapy teams.
"Our Specialty360 therapy teams were developed to enable us to improve patient outcomes, reduce cost of care, and enhance the patient and provider experience," Wright says. "As the pharmacy industry evolves, the complexity of our patients' needs led us to change our operating model to support them with therapy-specific teams."
Specialty360 therapy team members will continue to specialize in therapies to better serve patients. New, dedicated therapy directors will work cross-functionally with pharmacy functions to oversee the delivery of patient care. Team members, including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, nurses and dietitians, will be certified in specific diagnoses along with associated therapies. Those diagnoses include behavioral health, bone health, chronic inflammatory disease, endocrine, neurology, nursing and infusion-supporting therapies, oncology, organ/infectious disease, pulmonary and allergy, and reproductive health.
"We're evolving the organization to support a more personalized pharmacy experience with specific clinical expertise for our patients, based on their diagnoses," James says. "This new structure will allow our team members to meet our patients where they need us most and position the company for future growth."
AllianceRx Walgreens Prime (alliancerxwp.com) is a specialty and home delivery pharmacy that strives to provide exceptional care throughout a patient's treatment journey with the medications they need every day. Formed in 2017, the company offers tools and resources for patients, providers and health plans to deliver the optimal health outcomes. The company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida, and its pharmacies are accredited by several national pharmacy accreditation services.

Vijoice is first approved treatment to specifically address the root cause of PROS conditions in select patients 2 years of age and older1
PROS is a spectrum of rare conditions and is characterized by atypical overgrowths and anomalies in blood vessels, the lymphatic system and other tissues2,3
Approval based on real-world data from EPIK-P1 study, which showed patients treated with Vijoice experienced reduction in the size of PROS lesions and improvement of PROS-related signs and symptoms
Novartis to offer robust patient support program that includes assistance to access medication, financial resources for eligible patients and continued education
EAST HANOVER, N.J., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Novartis today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to Vijoice® (alpelisib) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with severe manifestations of PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) who require systemic therapy.1 Vijoice is the first FDA-approved treatment for PROS, a spectrum of rare conditions characterized by overgrowths and blood vessel anomalies impacting an estimated 14 people per million.2,3 In accordance with the Accelerated Approval Program, continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit from confirmatory evidence.
Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/9015251-fda-approves-novartis-vijoice-as-treatment-for-pros
"Today's approval of the first treatment for PROS offers hope for a better quality of life to patients and families affected by these rare conditions," said Kristen Davis, Executive Director of CLOVES Syndrome Community. "PROS conditions can be debilitating and disabling and can result in disruptions to everyday activities. Until today, often the only treatment options for patients were surgical or interventional radiology procedures."
PROS conditions can affect quality of life and pose a range of physical, emotional and social challenges for patients and their families, ranging from functional impacts and developmental delays to chronic pain, mobility issues, and feelings of isolation.3-6 PROS management can be challenging, requiring collaboration from a multidisciplinary team, and patients and physicians have only had access to interventions focused on symptom management.6,7
"I am proud of this outstanding achievement for the PROS community. The EPIK-P1 study results build on our earlier pre-clinical findings and demonstrate the efficacy of Vijoice for select PROS conditions, effectively reducing PROS growths," said Guillaume Canaud, MD, PhD, Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital – AP-HP, the Paris Descartes University, Inserm (INEM Institute Necker Enfants Malades – Centre for Molecular Medicine). "This is a significant advancement in therapy for PROS with the potential to positively change the treatment trajectory and outcomes for patients."
FDA approval was based on real-world evidence from EPIK-P1, a retrospective chart review study that showed patients treated with Vijoice experienced reduced target lesion volume and improvement in PROS-related symptoms and manifestations. The primary endpoint analysis conducted at week 24 showed 27% of patients (10/37) achieved a confirmed response to treatment, defined as 20% or greater reduction in the sum of PROS target lesion volume. Nearly three in four patients with imaging at baseline and week 24 (74%, 23/31) showed some reduction in target lesion volume, with a mean reduction of 13.7%, and no patients experienced disease progression at time of primary analysis. Additionally, at week 24, investigators observed patient improvements in pain (90%, 20/22), fatigue (76%, 32/42), vascular malformation (79%, 30/38), limb asymmetry (69%, 20/29), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (55%, 16/29). These improvements were observed in subsets of patients across the study population (n=57) who reported symptoms at baseline and at week 24.1,2
"The approval of Vijoice marks a turning point for patients who, until now, have not had an approved therapy to specifically address their disease," said Victor Bulto, President, Novartis Innovative Medicines US. "We are grateful to the physicians, patients and families who participated in the EPIK-P1 trial. We are continuing to invest in studies to advance the scientific understanding of PROS conditions and to understand the full potential of Vijoice."
In EPIK-P1, the most common adverse events (AEs) of any grade were diarrhea (16%), stomatitis (16%), and hyperglycemia (12%). The most common grade 3/4 AE was cellulitis (4%); one adult case was considered treatment-related.1
Novartis is committed to providing patients with access to medicines, as well as resources and support to address a range of needs. The Novartis Oncology Patient Support Program is available to help guide eligible patients through the various aspects of getting started on treatment, from providing educational information to helping them understand their insurance coverage and identify potential financial assistance options. Patients or providers can call 800-282-7630 or visit Patient.NovartisOncology.com or HCP.Novartis.com/Access to learn more about eligibility and to enroll.
About PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS)
The PROS classification was proposed by researchers and parent representatives of patient-family support and advocacy organizations at a National Institutes of Health workshop in 2013 to unite a group of rare overgrowth conditions caused by PIK3CA mutations.4,6 Specific conditions associated with PROS include KTS, CLOVES syndrome, ILM, MCAP/M–CM, HME, HHML, FIL, FAVA, macrodactyly, muscular HH, FAO, CLAPO syndrome and epidermal nevus, benign lichenoid keratosis, or seborrheic keratosis.4,6 The estimated prevalence of PROS conditions is approximately 14 people per million.3
About Vijoice
Vijoice® (alpelisib) is a kinase inhibitor that treats rare overgrowth conditions caused by the effects of PIK3CA mutations in adults and children with PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS). Vijoice works by inhibiting the PI3K pathway, predominantly the PI3K-alpha isoform.1 Vijoice is the first FDA-approved treatment for PROS conditions. Vijoice is not approved for use outside the United States.
FDA approval of Vijoice is based primarily on real-world evidence from the EPIK-P1 study. To further understand the long-term efficacy and safety of alpelisib in PROS, Novartis is conducting additional clinical trials. EPIK-P2 is a prospective Phase II multi-center study with a randomized, double-blind, upfront 16-week placebo-controlled period, and extension period to evaluate the safety, the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of alpelisib to treat pediatrics and adults with PROS. EPIK-P3 is a Phase II study to assess long-term safety and efficacy of alpelisib in people with PROS who participated in EPIK-P1.
Important Safety Information
Indication
VIJOICE® (alpelisib) tablets is a prescription medicine used to treat adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with severe manifestations of PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) who require systemic therapy.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
Important Safety Information
Patients should not take VIJOICE if they have had a severe allergic reaction to alpelisib or are allergic to any of the ingredients in VIJOICE.
VIJOICE may cause serious side effects. VIJOICE can cause severe allergic reactions. Patients should tell their health care provider or get medical help right away if they have trouble breathing, flushing, rash, fever, or fast heart rate during treatment with VIJOICE. VIJOICE can cause severe skin reactions. Patients should tell their health care provider or get medical help right away if they get a severe rash or a rash that keeps getting worse; reddened skin; flu-like symptoms; blistering of the lips, eyes, or mouth; blisters on the skin or peeling skin, with or without a fever. VIJOICE can cause high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Hyperglycemia is common with VIJOICE and can be severe. Health care providers will monitor blood sugar levels before patients start, and during treatment with, VIJOICE. Health care providers may monitor blood sugar levels more often if patients have a history of type 2 diabetes. Patients should tell their health care provider right away if they develop symptoms of hyperglycemia or its complications, including excessive thirst, dry mouth, urinating more often than usual or having a higher amount of urine than normal, increased appetite with weight loss, confusion, nausea, vomiting, fruity odor on breath, difficulty breathing, or dry or flushed skin. VIJOICE can cause lung problems (pneumonitis). Patients should tell their health care provider right away if they develop new or worsening symptoms of lung problems, including shortness of breath or trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. Diarrhea is common with VIJOICE and can be severe. Severe diarrhea can lead to the loss of too much body water (dehydration) and kidney injury. Patients who develop diarrhea during treatment with VIJOICE should tell their health care provider right away.
Before taking VIJOICE, patients should tell their health care provider if they have a history of diabetes; skin rash; redness of skin; blistering of the lips, eyes, or mouth; peeling skin; are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, because VIJOICE can harm their unborn baby. Females who can become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with VIJOICE and for 1 week after the last dose. Do not breastfeed during treatment with VIJOICE and for 1 week after the last dose. Males with female partners who can become pregnant should use condoms and effective birth control during treatment with VIJOICE and for 1 week after the last dose.
Patients should tell their health care provider about all the medicines they take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. VIJOICE and other medicines may affect each other and cause side effects. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them to show your health care provider or pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
The most common side effects of VIJOICE are diarrhea, mouth sores (stomatitis), and hyperglycemia.

Beth Mead and Katie McCabe are two players that everybody knows and loves and when it comes to the team sheet they are both ever present no matter the manager. But they both reached an important milestone on the weekend and it deserves to be celebrated.
Although Arsenal ran out 5-0 winners over Leicester on the weekend, both of these ladies had double reason to smile at the end of the game as they both reached the 150-game milestone in their Arsenal careers so far.
Mead first donned an Arsenal shirt back in 2017 and within the space of five years has now taken to the pitch 150 times.
It didn’t take her long to get on the scoresheet in her 150th appearance either as two minutes into the game she got Arsenal’s first in a rout that would see them run out as 5-0 winners.
McCabe on the other hand although not on the scoresheet in the recent game, first joined Arsenal two years before Mead in 2015 and over the space of seven years has appeared 150 times.
Although when she first joined, 150 games might have seen a bit of a way off as after a lack of first team starts and injuries she saw herself be sent out on loan to Glasgow City in 2017 where she helped them to the Scottish title. She then returned to Arsenal from her loan spell in the same season and has since been an ever present in the side, putting behind her the struggles and injuries she first faced.
Another bit of good news is that Katie has also signed a new long-term contract not long ago at the club and will no doubt be aiming for 200 appearances, if not more.
For some players reaching the 50-game milestone is seen as an achievement, but 150 for both of these women is very impressive, and if they continue in the way they have been there will be many more appearances from both I am sure!

Alaska Airlines moves to gender-neutral uniforms, allowing tattoos for employees
(CNN) - Alaska Airlines is going gender-neutral with its uniform policy for employees.
In a statement this week, the airline said the updated guidelines will “provide more freedom and flexibility in individual and gender expression.”
The carrier will also collaborate with a designer to create gender-neutral uniform items for frontline workers, including flight attendants, customer service agents and lounge employees.
The change follows a 2021 employee allegation that Alaska Airlines’ uniform policy discriminated against workers whose gender expression did not fit male and female dress codes.
Previously, the airline required either “male” or “female” uniforms, along with regulations on other dress codes based on assumed gender. At the time, the carrier said flight attendants could order any “uniform kit of their choice, regardless of gender identity.”
The airline is also updating to allow more flexibility in personal expression, including with tattoos and hair style choices.

An initiative aimed at tackling period poverty is being wheeled out in the Wishaw area.
Flo & Go, a joint project between Newmains Community Trust (NCT) and Cairney Cycles, will deliver eco-friendly sanitary products to women free-of-charge.
A team of volunteers are being recruited who will get on their bikes for the delivery programme.
The new scheme is in the final stages of planning, but it’s hoped it will go live next month.

Mary-Anne McCafferty is development manager at NCT - one of the places offering free sanitary products in the area.
She told Lanarkshire Live: "We work quite closely with the team from the council and we’d been discussing how we could increase the uptake of more of the reusable products and make things a bit more eco-friendly.
"During the discussions they said there was funding available to start up a delivery service, so that’s how it came about.”
The free products will also give those who use them the added bonus that they will be doing their bit for the environment.
“I think some people are afraid to try something different because they are so used to certain products,” Mary-Anne continued. “But if someone can deliver to you in the privacy of your own house, then why not give it a go?
"During lockdown we were giving out the products along with food parcels and stuff to make sure they weren’t going without.
“A lot of people feel guilty about waste and the amount of things that just go to landfill these days.”
Connor Mooney decided to set up Cairney Cycles during 2020 after struggling to have his own bike repaired promptly - he now also offers refurbished bikes for sale at affordable prices.
Amongst other things he will be responsible for training the volunteers on bike safety and maintenance.
He told us: “I’m going to help recruit volunteers and will volunteer myself too, if I can. Mary-Anne came to me with the idea for the project and was looking for help with the bike side of things and ordering.
"We put together some training for the volunteers. The sanitary products are eco-friendly and the bikes we’re using are refurbished.
“We’ve sourced a company that does kits and we’re converting two of the bikes to electric ones. They are really good and have around a 20 miles range, so they’re good for Newmains and the local area.
"Most of the electric kits can be fully charged in three or four hours. The motors on some of the bikes now are quite powerful.”
Mary-Anne and Connor had been talking just the day before her meeting with the council when the delivery option was first discussed.
“Connor had already linked up with us doing bicycle repairs and maintenance sessions in the centre," she added.
“He’s making cycling available and accessible to everybody and had suggested doing more work in the community.
“So I phoned him up and asked if he wanted to help me deliver period products and he said, ‘No bother!’.
“We’re really chuffed that Connor came along at the right time.
“He’s also been helping with sourcing all the bikes and equipment.
“At our side [NCT], we’ll support all the volunteers and take care of all the stock, stock management and getting it delivered out to people.
“Cycling may well become a more popular mode of transport now when you see the price of fuel, it might push some people to think they may not need to drive to work and that they could cycle six or seven miles.”

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Ani Kokobobo, University of Kansas
(THE CONVERSATION) As someone who teaches Russian literature, I can’t help but process the world through the country’s novels, stories, poems and plays, even at a time when Russian cultural productions are being canceled around the world.
With the Russian army perpetrating devastating violence in Ukraine – which includes the slaughter of civilians in Bucha – the discussion of what to do with Russian literature has naturally arisen.
I’m not worried that truly valuable art can ever be canceled. Enduring works of literature are enduring, in part, because they are capacious enough to be read critically against the vicissitudes of the present.
You could make this argument about any great work of Russian literature, but as a scholar of Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky, I will stick with Russia’s most famous literary exports.
After World War II, German critic Theodore Adorno described the Holocaust as a profound blow to Western culture and philosophy, even going so far as to question the very ability of human beings to “live after Auschwitz.”
This idea, born of the very specific context of the Holocaust, shouldn’t be haphazardly applied to the present moment. But following Adorno’s moral lead, I wonder whether – after the brutal shelling of the city of Mariupol, after the horrors on the streets of Bucha, along with atrocities committed in Kharkiv, Mykolaev, Kyiv and many more – the indiscriminate violence ought to change how readers approach Russia’s great authors.
Confronting suffering with clear eyes
Upon learning that Russian writer Ivan Turgenev had looked away at the last minute when witnessing the execution of a man, Dostoevsky made his own position clear: “[A] human being living on the surface of the earth has no right to turn away and ignore what is happening on earth, and there are higher moral imperatives for this.”
Seeing the rubble of a theater in Mariupol, hearing of Mariupol citizens starving because of Russian airstrikes, I wonder what Dostoevsky – who specifically focused his piercing moral eye on the question of the suffering of children in his 1880 novel “The Brothers Karamazov” – would say in response to the Russian army’s bombing a theater where children were sheltering. The word “children” was spelled out on the pavement outside the theater in large type so it could be seen from the sky. There was no misunderstanding of who was there.
Ivan Karamazov, the central protagonist in “The Brothers Karamazov,” is far more focused on questions of moral accountability than Christian acceptance or forgiveness and reconciliation. In conversation, Ivan routinely brings up examples of children’s being harmed, imploring the other characters to recognize the atrocities in their midst. He is determined to seek retribution.
Surely the intentional shelling of children in Mariupol is something Dostoevsky couldn’t possibly look away from either. Could he possibly defend a vision of Russian morality while seeing innocent civilians – men, women and children – lying on the streets of Bucha?
At the same time, nor should readers look away from the unseemliness of Dostoevsky and his sense of Russian exceptionalism. These dogmatic ideas about Russian greatness and Russia’s messianic mission are connected to the broader ideology that has fueled Russia’s past colonial mission, and current Russian foreign politics on violent display in Ukraine.
Yet Dostoevsky was also a great humanist thinker who tied this vision of Russian greatness to Russian suffering and faith. Seeing the spiritual value of human suffering was perhaps a natural outcome for a man sent to a labor camp in Siberia for five years for simply participating in a glorified socialist book club. Dostoevsky grew out of his suffering, but, arguably, not to a place where he could accept state-sponsored terror.
Would an author who, in his 1866 novel “Crime and Punishment,” explains in excruciating detail the toll of murder on the murderer – who explains that when someone takes a life, they kill part of themselves – possibly accept Putin’s vision of Russia? Warts and all, would Russia’s greatest metaphysical rebel have recoiled and rebelled against Russian violence in Ukraine?
I hope that he would, as many contemporary Russian writers have. But the dogmas of the Kremlin are pervasive, and many Russians accept them. Many Russians look away.
Tolstoy’s path to pacifism
No writer captures warfare in Russia more poignantly than Tolstoy, a former soldier turned Russia’s most famous pacifist. In his last work, “Hadji Murat,” which scrutinizes Russia’s colonial exploits in North Caucasus, Tolstoy showed how senseless Russian violence toward a Chechen village caused instant hatred of Russians.
Tolstoy’s greatest work about Russian warfare, “War and Peace,” is a novel that Russians have traditionally read during great wars, including World War II. In “War and Peace,” Tolstoy contends that the morale of the Russian military is the key to victory. The battles most likely to succeed are defensive ones, in which soldiers understand why they are fighting and what they are fighting to protect: their home.
Even then, he’s able to convey the harrowing experiences of young Russian soldiers coming into direct confrontation with the instruments of death and destruction on the battlefield. They disappear into the crowd of their battalion, but even a single loss is devastating for the families awaiting their safe return.
After publishing “War and Peace,” Tolstoy publicly denounced many Russian military campaigns. The last part of his 1878 novel “Anna Karenina” originally wasn’t published because it criticized Russia’s actions in the Russo-Turkish war. Tolstoy’s alter ego in that novel, Konstantin Levin, calls the Russian intervention in the war “murder” and thinks it is inappropriate that Russian people are dragged into it.
“The people sacrifice and are always prepared to sacrifice themselves for their soul, not for murder,” he says.
In 1904, Tolstoy penned a public letter denouncing the Russo-Japanese War, which has sometimes been compared with Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“Again war,” he wrote. “Again sufferings, necessary to nobody, utterly uncalled for; again fraud, again the universal stupefaction and brutalization of men.” One can almost hear him shouting “Bethink Yourselves,” the title of that essay, to his countrymen now.
In one of his most famous pacifist writings, 1900’s “Thou Shalt Not Kill,” Tolstoy presciently diagnosed the problem of today’s Russia.
“The misery of nations is caused not by particular persons, but by the particular order of Society under which the people are so bound up together that they find themselves all in the power of a few men, or more often in the power of one single man: a man so perverted by his unnatural position as arbiter of the fate and lives of millions, that he is always in an unhealthy state, and always suffers more or less from a mania of self-aggrandizement.”
The importance of action
If Dostoevsky would insist that one not look away, it is fair to say that Tolstoy would contend that people must act upon what they see.
During the Russian famine of 1891 to 1892, he started soup kitchens to help his countrymen who were starving and had been abandoned by the Russian government. He worked to help Russian soldiers evade the draft in the Russian empire, visiting and supporting jailed soldiers who did not wish to fight. In 1899 he sold his last novel, “Resurrection,” to help a Russian Christian sect, the Doukhobors, emigrate to Canada so they would not need to fight in the Russian army.
These writers have little to do with the current war. They cannot expunge or mitigate the actions of the Russian army in Ukraine. But they’re embedded on some level within the Russian cultural fabric, and how their books are still read matters. Not because Russian literature can explain any of what is happening, because it cannot. But because, as Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan wrote in March 2022, Russia’s war in Ukraine marked a defeat for Russia’s great humanist tradition.
As this culture copes with a Russian army that has indiscriminately bombed and massacred Ukrainians, Russia’s great authors can and should be read critically, with one urgent question in mind: how to stop the violence. Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny noted during his March 2022 trial that Tolstoy urged his countrymen to fight both despotism and war because one enables the other.
And Ukrainian artist Alevtina Kakhidze cited “War and Peace” in a February 2022 entry in her graphic diary.
“I’ve read your f—ing literature,” she wrote. “But looks like Putin did not, and you have forgotten.”

As airports grind to a halt... how UK's 'Great Lie Down' threatens a summer of chaos: Hospitality, travel and farming STILL suffer staff shortages after 400,000 people left the work force during lockdowns (and it's all going to make inflation worse)
- MPs warn low employee numbers in the food and farming sector could see food prices continue to increase
- Economists say inability of UK businesses to fill job vacancies in coming months could push inflation higher
- The Office for Budget Responsibility expects there will be 400,000 fewer people in the UK's labour force
- Employment is still down 450,000 on pre-pandemic levels and there are 1.83million active UK job adverts
The staff shortage chaos at Britain's airports could spread to other areas of the economy amid continuing chronic labour issues caused by hundreds of thousands of people leaving the UK workforce during lockdowns, recruitment experts warned today.
Vacancies are at all-time highs with hospitality, travel and farming all badly hit - and employers' attempts to attract workers with offers of higher wages threaten to push inflation up even further than its current level of 6.2 per cent.
The head of Manchester Airport quit after chaotic scenes over the past few months saw passengers queueing for up to four hours to make it through security - with unions claiming that this summer will be even worse.
John O'Neill, North West Regional Industrial Officer for the trade union Unite, warned: 'Summer is going to be far worse than this. It is the time to get everything in place otherwise summer is going to very difficult.'
Warning about the potential impact to the rest of the economy, Recruitment and Employment Confederation chief executive Neil Carberry told MailOnline today: 'Labour shortages are hitting sectors all over the British economy.
'Just this week we've had reports in industries varying from aviation to education to farming. These shortages have got worse over the course of the pandemic – we now have around 600,000 fewer people in the labour market than before Covid-19, and our own research shows the number of workers available to start new jobs is still falling month-on-month.'
And economists today claimed that it could take another two years for the recruitment crisis to ease and the country's labour force to return to its pre-pandemic size. The phenomenon dubbed 'The Great Lie-Down' has seen 400,000 workers permanently leave the workforce, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
Some 210,000 of those can be accounted for by a 'higher inactivity rate' among those of working age, which is 'largely the result of more early retirements and a greater prevalence of long-term sickness' after the pandemic.
And the other 190,000 of the figure is due to foreign-born workers leaving the UK during the Covid pandemic and Brexit making it harder for new European Union immigrant workers to enter the country, according to the OBR.
Meanwhile experts at research consultancy Capital Economics have also found that the rise in inactivity has been 'primarily concentrated among those over 50 years old, with the spread between men and women fairly even'.
Separately, the REC said vacancies have increased the most in North East England with job adverts in March up 81 per cent on January, while in London they rose 75 per cent.
Overall employment is still down 450,000 on pre-pandemic levels and there were 1.83million active UK job adverts last month - with particular high demand at the moment for hairdressers, security workers and bar staff.
But the REC warned that companies across Britain were 'having to work harder than ever to hire the staff they need' as they try to make adverts more attractive and offer more flexibility and benefits.
And an increase in wages could cause inflation to rise even faster - with the Consumer Prices Index already up by 6.2 per cent in the 12 months to February 2022, the latest figure which was a rise from 5.5 per cent in January.
Britons are already facing a cost of living crisis with National Insurance increasing by 1.25 percentage points, and the energy price cap up 54 per cent to an average of £1,971 a year from April 1 amid rising prices of various goods.
Regional data (eg for 'South East') shows how the number of active job postings in each region of the UK has changed, when the last week of March 2022 is compared with the first week of January 2022. Specific areas (eg for 'Westminster') shows the top ten county or unitary authorities for growth in job postings when March 21-27, 2022 is compared with March 14-20, 2022
Experts at Capital Economics said there had been a sharp rise in economic inactivity during the pandemic due to what people described as 'other' reasons, perhaps as they initially waited out lockdowns due to the huge uncertainty at the time
The rise in inactivity has been mostly concentrated among those aged over 50, with an even spread between men and women
Part of the reduction in the labour force has been due to workers leaving the UK in the past two years amid Brexit and Covid
And Sarah Coles, senior personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'We've already seen specific instances of squeezed professions offering big pay rises to attract staff, with logistics being one of the most high profile examples.
'Overall pay figures show that wages have fallen behind inflation – and regular pay is down 1 per cent in real terms, but there are huge differences between sectors.
'The overall figure is dragged down by the public sector, where wages are up just 2.4 per cent in the year to January. Compare this to wholesaling, retailing, hotels and restaurants, up 5.9 per cent in the year to January. CPI at the time was 5.5 per cent.'
She added that 'retailers have been lining up to announce pay rises ahead of the minimum wage, to help them stand out and attract staff', and cited B&Q, Screwfix, John Lewis and Currys as examples.
Capital Economics economist Bethany Beckett has predicted that most of the drop in the size of the labour force since the pandemic begin will eventually reverse, but she 'wouldn't be surprised if this took another two years or so amid slow recoveries in both the domestic labour supply and in inward flows of migration'.
The OBR, which is the Government's budget watchdog, forecasts that inflation will peak at a 40-year high of 8.7 per cent towards the end of this year, due to surging energy costs and broader price rises.
MPs warned today that low employee numbers in the food and farming sector could see food prices continue to rise, while economists say the inability of UK businesses to fill job vacancies could push inflation even higher.
Capital Economics said there were three main reasons for the increase in inactivity - one that workers were waiting out lockdowns due to uncertainty; the second being a rise in those calling themselves students and not looking for work; and the third being a rise in retirements and those unable to work due to ill health.
It comes as flights continued to be cancelled in the UK today with huge queues again forming at Birmingham, Manchester and Stansted airports. The bedlam is being blamed mostly on 'staffing shortages and recruitment challenges', and a sudden surge in passenger numbers - caused both by Covid and curbs being eased.
The REC said there were 172,000 new job postings in the final week of March - but this was lower than the week before and the lowest since mid-January, with the labour market therefore showing signs of stabilising.
The REC reported a significant increase in job adverts for hairdressers and barbers (up 9.4 per cent), security workers (up 9 per cent), and bar staff (up 8.4 per cent) in March 21 to 27, compared to March 14 to 20.
Other hospitality, leisure and service sector roles such as waiters and waitresses (up 6.6 per cent) also saw big rises, as well as specialist skilled occupations such as vets (up 8.3 per cent) and photographers (up 7.2 per cent).
The devolved nations are also desperate to fill jobs, with five of the top ten hiring hotspots in Scotland and three in Northern Ireland, according to the REC. But the area with the highest weekly rise in job adverts was in fact Westminster (up 18 per cent), then West Dunbartonshire (up 13 per cent) and Highland (up 11 per cent).

Employment is still down 450,000 on pre-pandemic levels and there were 1.83million active UK job adverts last month
London and the North East regions have seen the highest increase in active job postings for March 2022 to January 2022
The Office for Budget Responsibility expects there will be 400,000 fewer people in the UK's labour force. This graph shows it expects unemployment to trough in the first quarter of 2022 at 3.9 per cent, which is 1.1 percentage points lower than it had forecasted in October 2021. The OBR added that a combination of record-high vacancies, lower participation and low redundancies indicates a tighter labour market than had been expected in October 2021, meaning unemployment rises only slightly. It expects it to settle at 4.1 per cent in the medium term, 0.1 percentage points lower than assumed in October 2021
Inflation is already running rampant, with the Consumer Prices Index rising by 6.2 per cent in the 12 months to February 2022
Mr Carberry said: 'Businesses are having to work harder than ever to hire the staff they need, but it is possible to hire if you get your offer right. Consulting with recruitment experts about your approach, including broadening your search, making job ads more attractive and offering enhanced flexibility and benefits can all help, without breaking the bank.'
He also told MailOnline that there were 'many reasons' for low labour supply - including 'workers retiring or stopping work to care for someone, some staying in college and some EU workers leaving the UK'.
But he continued: 'These are long-term trends that existed long before the pandemic, and they will need long-term solutions. Collaboration between recruiters and government will be essential to make sure Job Centres can support people into work with the right training, links and advice.'
He said that the jobs market had been 'super-heated' in the first few months of the year, but the 'first signs' of stabilisation may now be emerging. Mr Carberry added: 'Over the next few weeks, we will see whether this is the cooling we expected, or a slower market developing as employers factor rising inflation into their plans.'
Capital Economics expert Ms Beckett said economists fear that a small portion of the rise in economic inactivity 'may prove permanent', adding: 'Most of the rise has been concentrated among the population aged over 50 years old, with around half of the newly inactive population saying they cannot work because they are long-term sick.'
She told MailOnline: 'These groups may be unwilling to return to work or may face greater obstacles to do so.
'That suggests to us that the labour market will be tighter for longer than expected by most other analysts, including the Bank of England, and explains our view that faster wage growth will exert growing upward pressure on inflation in the coming months.
'As it stands, we have pencilled in nominal wage growth of over 5 per cent in 2022, though we suspect the risks to this forecast are skewed to the upside. Nonetheless, with inflation set to average over 7 per cent in 2022 as a whole, that still won't be enough to avert a protracted period of negative real wage growth.'
Ms Beckett also pointed to 'tentative evidence' that sectors facing the greatest shortages of workers such as hospitality are now experiencing the fastest wage growth.
There are also problems with filling jobs in the travel industry, with the World Travel and Tourism Council estimating at the end of 2021 that there would be an average shortfall of 15,000 workers in the industry this year with the labour market 'expected to remain tight'.
And tourism body VisitEngland said it had finished its English Tourism Week campaign just last month during which it had been 'shining the spotlight' on the 'huge range and variety of jobs across the industry' to encourage more people to consider a career in tourism.
VisitEngland director Andrew Stokes added: 'From tour operating, destination marketing, hospitality and hotel management to business events, visitor attractions and policy development, our people-focused sector has a huge amount to offer employees.'

Meanwhile Ms Coles from Hargreaves Lansdown said: 'Higher wages will come as a huge relief to people in the short term. They're facing horrifying price rises on all sides, and a pay rise offers the hope of making ends meet.
'The problem comes over the long term if rises are high enough to feed into an inflationary spiral. Clearly this is a risk, but right now it could go either way. Employers are also under enormous price pressures, and will be keen to keep a lid on pay where they can.'
The latest official Government data from the Office for National Statistics released on March 15 reported a quarterly increase in the employment rate and a drop in the unemployment rate - but also found that economic inactivity had increased slightly on the quarter.
Statisticians reported that that the UK employment rate increased by 0.1 percentage points on the quarter to 75.6 per cent, which was driven by full-time employees.
The ONS added that while the number of part-time employees decreased greatly during the pandemic, it has been rising since April to June 2021. However, it said that the number of self-employed workers remains low.
It also reported that the unemployment rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points on the quarter to 3.9 per cent, while the economic inactivity rate increased by 0.1 percentage points to 21.3 per cent.
Increases in economic inactivity compared with the previous three-month period were largely driven by those aged 16 to 24 years old, the statisticians reported.
However, they said the number of economically inactive people aged 16 to 24 has been decreasing since early 2021, with those aged 50 to 64 years driving the recent increases in economic inactivity.
The ONS said professional occupations saw the largest difference for those aged 50 to 70 years, with 30,000 more people moving to 'economic inactivity' between the second and third quarters of in 2021 than in 2019.
The sectors of caring, leisure and other service occupations saw the largest proportional difference of 2.9 percentage points to 6 per cent moving to inactivity in the same period.
Meanwhile growth in average total pay - including bonuses - was 4.8 per cent and growth in regular pay - excluding bonuses - was 3.8 per cent among employees in November 2021 to January 2022.
However, in real terms - adjusted for inflation - growth in total pay was 0.1 per cent and regular pay fell on the year at -1 per cent.
James Reed, chairman of the Reed employment group, told The Mail On Sunday last month that the impact of the pandemic on workforce size has been felt in many other economies and that the phrase 'The Great Lie-Down' had been used in China to describe the phenomenon.
He added: 'During the pandemic, a lot of people decided they just wanted to change their lifestyle. A lot of those were over 50. That might have been a combination of health concerns or reprioritising lifestyle choices, such as family over work.'

Accidental damage claims involving children cost around £500 typically, according to analysis by an insurer.
Just over four-fifths of such incidents involve damage to technology, Admiral found.
Items being dropped and accidents involving toys were among the main reasons for claims, with many cases relating to damage to televisions.
In one case dealt with by Admiral, a TV was damaged when a child’s karate classes moved online during lockdown. In another case, a TV screen was used as a drawing board.
Pasta sauce on a laptop and nappy cream smeared on sofas are also among cases the insurer has dealt with involving children.
Noel Summerfield, head of household at Admiral, said: “Many parents will be expecting the house to get a little messy over the Easter holidays, but some will be faced with more.
“We’ve looked at 1,500 home insurance claims caused by children over the last year and found the average cost was £531.
“No doubt some parents will turn to tech at some point during the holidays to help keep the kids busy.
“This could explain why so many claims where kids were involved feature mobile phones, TVs, laptops, tablets and even VR headsets.
“When we analysed the data, we found that 81% of the claims involving kids mentioned damage to tech devices.”

Jury deliberations enter 3rd day in Gov. Whitmer kidnap plot
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Jurors entered a third day of deliberations Wednesday in a trial that centers on a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker disclosed that the jury had asked for sticky notes. He also told lawyers that two jurors saw him outside the courthouse. Their reaction: “Wow, you look so different without your robe,” the judge said.
Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta are charged with a kidnapping conspiracy. Three of them also face additional charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, namely an explosive.
The trial has covered 18 days since March 8, including 13 days of testimony.
Prosecutors said the conspiracy against Whitmer was fueled by anti-government extremism and anger over her COVID-19 restrictions. The men trained with a crudely built “shoot house” to replicate her vacation home in September 2020, according to testimony.
Fox and Croft, traveled to Elk Rapids, Michigan, that same weekend to see the location of the governor’s lakeside property and a nearby bridge, evidence showed. Harris and Caserta have been described as “soldiers” in the scheme.
Another man, Ty Garbin, who pleaded guilty, said the goal was to get Whitmer before the fall election and create enough chaos to create a civil war and stop Joe Biden from winning the presidency.
Defense lawyers attacked the government’s investigation and the use of a crucial informant, Dan Chappel. They claimed Chappel was the real leader, taking direction from the FBI and keeping the group on edge while recording them for months.
Croft is from Bear, Delaware, while the others are from Michigan.
Whitmer, a Democrat, rarely talks publicly about the plot, though she referred to “surprises” during her term that seemed like “something out of fiction” when she filed for reelection on March 17.
She has blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case.

For Kevin McDonald, it all started at Dens Park — a fresh-faced, bleach blonde midfielder making a name for himself in the old First Division.
Seventeen years after his Dee debut, the Dark Blues afforded McDonald the platform to train and rebuild his fitness as he recuperated from a life-threatening kidney transplant.
The allegiances of McDonald’s friends and family are liberally split across both sides of Tannadice Street.
As such, United star McDonald will never have a negative word to say about Dundee.
He will, of course, relish every moment of an intense, inimitable occasion — but acrimony can be cast aside.
“I’m 33 years of age and, after everything I’ve been through, I’d never say a bad word about Dundee, even as a United player,” said McDonald, who made 106 appearances for the Dee.
“That is where my journey started and I’ll always be grateful. I’ve played in plenty of derbies but this one is different, given the circumstances.
“Dundee were the first club I trained with after my [kidney] operation, as I considered what was next.
“James McPake was the manager at the time and he was brilliant with me; all the boys were great. I owe them a massive thanks.
“The same goes for St Johnstone, who allowed me to train and build my fitness, getting to a point where I could say, ‘right, let’s see where we are’.”
Friendships on hold
Indeed, the former Fulham and Scotland midfielder, who hails from Carnoustie, will achieve a lifelong goal on Saturday if he lines up against Dundee at Tannadice.
“I’ve never played in a competitive Dundee derby so that will be special,” he continued.
“All of my friends are either Dundee United or Dundee fans so there’s always that extra banter and extra rivalry in the build-up. It will be a great atmosphere through the whole city and I hope it’s a cracking spectacle.
“I’ve got a huge respect for everyone at Dundee but those friendships are irrelevant for 90 minutes.
“We’ve got to put emotion to one side and understand that three very important points are at stake.”
The race for Europe
Even a solitary point would see Dundee United secure top-six qualification for Tam Courts’ men.
That would represent a solid achievement for the Tangerines in their second season back in the Premiership.
Yet, a slight tinge of exasperation persists for McDonald.
“Honestly, it’s frustrating that we even need to get something from the derby to finish in the top-six,” McDonald told Courier Sport.
“It’s been there for us for weeks and we’ve not taken three points often enough. Too many draws. If we had turned just one of those draws into wins, we’d already be in there.”
Should United get the job done — and it would take a remarkable sequence of results for them to slip out of the top half of the table on Saturday — then attention will turn to a mouth-watering race for Europe.
Tannadice has not hosted continental competition since 2012 and, with consistency in short supply among those fighting for fourth spot, there is a golden opportunity to grasp that place.
“Although there is that frustration about some dropped points, we have ultimately put ourselves in a good position,” added McDonald. “With Europe on offer, we are playing for fourth place — albeit plenty of teams will be saying the same.”
Dundee United analysis: Has Mathew Cudjoe played his way into Tannadice derby picture?

Former rugby league player Rob Burrow has described his shock at being made an MBE by the Princess Royal saying he was “absolutely honoured”.
Burrow, 39, had an illustrious playing career with Leeds Rhinos but his battles off the pitch, after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2019, has endeared him to sports fans and the general public alike.
He won eight Grand Finals and 20 international caps during his playing days and his efforts raising awareness about MND and his sporting achievements have been recognised with the MBE.
Burrow also paid tribute to his wife Lindsey, saying the day had given his partner the chance to “get dressed up” and indulge in some “escapism” away from her normal role looking after her husband.
The former sportsman, who now uses a wheelchair and speaks with the aid of a special machine, said: “I’m shocked to be accepting the MBE award, it’s not something that was on the list of things that I wanted to achieve but I am absolutely honoured to receive this award.
“Any excuse to see my wife get dressed up in the dresses she deserves to be, I hope she enjoys the occasion like me.
“I’ve always got a kick out of giving close ones that experience like no other. It gives my Lindsey escapism from a normal day-to-day management of looking after me.
“I’m so proud to receive this because of my rugby and the awareness for MND, this most importantly means that MND continues to be talked about and keeping it in the public (eye).
“I’m blown away by the response to me getting the disease and I hope they know – it’s all for you.”
After the ceremony his wife Lindsey, who was joined by her husband’s parents Geoff and Irene Burrow, said: “It’s just a really proud honourable moment, just to be here with Rob, in recognition of all that he’s done – just incredibly proud.
“Rob would say himself he accepts this award on behalf of the MND community, all the work that’s been going on in Rob’s name to help the families – that’s why we’re doing this. It’s lovely to get these awards but it’s about the other people who are suffering with this disease.”
Burrow’s former teammate Kevin Sinfield has raised millions in support of MND with a series of gruelling challenges and was recently made an OBE for his work.
Chris James, from the MND Association, joined the former player and his family at Windsor Castle and said Rob’s efforts had encouraged others to fundraise for the charity.
He said: “I think what Rob has managed to do is incredibly brave, to live his journey with MND in the public eye as he had done. He’s done a huge amount to raise awareness of MND which is a disease that doesn’t get as much attention as other diseases.
“We know that directly as a result of Rob’s awareness raising that the MND Association has raised over £4 million pounds as a result of this.”
Burrow speaks using an electronic system where his eye movements over letters creates words and he recorded a message that was played to Anne when he received his MBE.
His wife said: “I didn’t actually go with Rob when he got his award, but he did write a little message to Her Royal Highness.
“It just said he was honoured to be here and he loved Windsor Castle and it was lovely because she’s a patron of the MND (Association) so that’s really nice.”

Kate Josephs: Secrecy surrounds fines over her leaving party which breached Covid-19 rules she helped create
Attendees of a leaving party for Kate Joseph’s before she took up her new role at the helm of Sheffield City Council have been handed Covid-19 fines for breaching restrictions, it is reported.
Ms Josephs, who at the time was leaving her role as director-general of the Covid-19 taskforce, is currently suspended as Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council, which pays £190,000 a year.
It means she would have played a key role in writing the lockdown rules that were enforced across the country when her leaving party took place.
Fixed penalty notices have been issued against attendees, according to media reports.
However, it is not known if Ms Josephs herself has been fined, with the Met, which has investigated alleged breaches at Government gatherings, having not named anybody involved.
Sheffield Council has also refused to reveal any information.
Now, readers of The Star have had their say on the scandal, which has seen officials call for Ms Josephs’ resignation.
“Before people comment as to why she should still be in a job its simple,” reader Malcolm Wood said. “She was not convicted of anything. (If) she has received a Fixed Penalty Notice, many people on here have had them for driving offences. It’s not right or just but it is the law. Also the offences took place under her previous job so she cannot be dismissed for misconduct of another job.”
In response, another reader, Steve Platts, wrote: “If (for example) a police officer had broken the law, I wouldn’t expect them to get away with nothing more than a fine and some weak apology, I’d expect them to be sacked. This is the same for Kate Josephs, she’s not some ‘lackey’ with little to no responsibility, she the head of the Covid taskforce and someone who should’ve being leading by example.
“Why should anybody at all have been expected to follow the rules, when the very people issuing them, didn’t follow them?”
Both Ms Josephs and the city council have been criticised for “secrecy” over the scandal.
Before the leaving do was revealed by the press almost a year after it happened, Ms Josephs posted a statement on social media saying she gathered with colleagues for drinks in the Cabinet Office, and apologised.
She has not responded to media inquiries about the fine.
Meanwhile, the council brought in an external investigator, who has not been named, to report back to a cross party committee with findings to inform their decision on what should be done.
Who the investigator is and what their remit is has been kept secret by the local authority.
The committee met in private last week to discuss the investigation but the council said it will not share any information.
“What a farce,” commented Star reader Matthew Eyre.
“Is this the standard we should expect from those in public office?” said reader Richard Perry.
A Freedom of Information request confirmed Sheffield Council does hold correspondence with the Cabinet Office about the event but it is withholding it, arguing that keeping it secret is in the public interest.
The committee comprises of councillors Penny Baker, Douglas Johnson, Shaffaq Mohammed and Sioned-Mair Richards and it is chaired by Councillor Julie Grocutt.

NEW YORK (AP) — A journalist and former aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a book coming out this fall, one of the first announced releases about Zelenskyy and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
One Signal Publishers announced Wednesday that it had acquired Iuliia Mendel's “The Fight of Our Lives.” Mendel served as Zelenskyy's press secretary and spokesperson from 2019-2021 and has been sending dispatches about the war to the Washington Post. According to One Signal, a Simon & Schuster imprint, Mendel will write about everything from Zelenskyy's meetings with Soviet leader Vladimir Putin to the phone calls with then-President Donald Trump that led to his impeachment for trying to pressure Zelenskyy into investigating Joe Biden.
Mendel also will write on the “massive economic problems facing Ukraine, entrenched corrupt oligarchs in league with Russia, and — in shades of the United States’ recent federal election — the Kremlin’s repeated attacks to discredit Zelenskyy through disinformation and an army of bots and trolls,” One Signal's announcement reads in part.

Mendel, 35, has written for the Post and The New York Times among others.
“I’ve dreamed all my life of telling the story of Ukraine. It’s a triumphant one.” Mendel said in a statement. “A story not of victims, but of heroes in defense of freedom. Now, as Ukraine, the largest of the post-Soviet republics, stands up for democracy against the Russian army for all to see, I can finally share that story with the world.”
