BATESVILLE, Ark – Two former Batesville City employees say they were cheated out of money they believe was owed to them.
In November, the Batesville City Council voted to use funds from the American Rescue Plan to cut hazard paychecks for employees.
In a memo sent to us by City Attorney Tim Meitzen, the City Council voted to pay up to $3,500 to city employees who worked 1,000 hours in 2020.
Rex Brightwell and William Wells say they each worked 1,000 hours and did not receive checks.
“If they cared like they said they did whenever we retired, they would make this up to us,” said Brightwell.
Brightwell and Wells both retired in October 2021, a few weeks before hazard pay was passed.
Meitzen says the checks were only offered to current employees and Brightwell and Wells were no longer current.
“We feel cheated,” said Brightwell.
We reached out to Meitzen for comment on the matter. He sent us back a memo saying the Batesville City Council did not vote to include former employees in the payments because “There is no mechanism by which the City Clerk can make payroll/W2 payments to someone who is no longer an employee with the City.”
Wells and Brightwell say had they had known about the checks before retirement, plans would have changed.
“I would have stayed what it would have taken to not have to be going through what we are now,” said Wells.
Both say between the do they make up 50 years’ worth of service for the City and are asking now they be recognized for it.
“Just do the right thing, treat people the way you want to be treated,” said Wells.
The City Attorney says the City received funds from the American Rescue Plan back in July 2021. He says the rules surrounding the funds are new and the council’s decision was based on advice received from the Arkansas Municipal League.

Huntington wants AFLW trade to Giants
Western Bulldogs forward Isabel Huntington wants an AFLW trade to GWS, saying it's a tough decision that's due to off-field factors.
Her trade request highlights the pressures on AFLW players, who are mostly part-time and have had the added burden this season of COVID-19 protocols.
The Bulldogs announced her trade request in the same week that captain Ellie Blackburn and fellow star Kirsty Lamb confirmed they would stay at the club.
Huntington, the 2017 No.1 draft pick, has been out of action since early January because of her third knee reconstruction.
One of the league's top talents was named an All Australian and won the club best and fairest and Rising Star awards for her breakout 2020 season.
"Requesting a move from the Doggies has been an incredibly difficult decision and one that has taken very careful consideration," Huntington said in a club statement.
"Ultimately, the decision to move is not football related, however.
"Having recently begun the long rehab process for my third ACL injury, in combination with the current part-time nature of the competition, it's become increasingly clear to me that I can't make life decisions solely based on football.
"With the opportunity to progress my studies and off-field work interstate, it is the right move for me at this time."
Huntington, 23, works in medical research.
She added she had "absolutely adored" her five years at the Bulldogs and is sad to leave, a sentiment echoed by the club.
The Bulldogs also made it clear they expect proper compensation for such a talented player.
"It's disappointing for us to lose someone like Izzy, who has been a strong performer on field and an established leader off it, and with such a bright future as a player ahead of her" said Bulldogs women's football boss Debbie Lee.
"We fully understand Izzy's need to move to Sydney for education and non-football related reasons, and we wish her well.
"Given Izzy's standing in the game, her achievements to date and the club's investment in her development, we'll work hard to ensure we are appropriately compensated through the AFLW's player movement structure."

McCollum's 23 points leads Pelicans past Blazers, 127-94
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - CJ McCollum scored 23 points in 29 minutes against his former team and the New Orleans Pelicans moved closer to clinching a home play-in game with a 127-94 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night.
Jonas Valanciunas, who returned from a sore right ankle, scored 14 points in 21 minutes for the Pelicans, who were without leading scorer Brandon Ingram (right hamstring), but wound up not needing any starters on the floor for as many as 30 minutes against a reeling Blazers team that had a patchwork lineup and lost its ninth straight.
The victory, combined with San Antonio's loss at Minnesota, left New Orleans needing either one more victory or one more Spurs loss to lock up a home play-in game on Wednesday.
McCollum appeared to hurt his right hand, with which he shoots, when he we fouled and crashed to the floor in the third quarter. But after missing two free throws and a subsequent 3, he remained in game for nearly eight more minutes, hitting his fifth 3 of the game and a finger roll, before checking out for good.
Reserve center Willy Hernangomez had 17 points and 14 rebounds for New Orleans. Larry Nance Jr., sent from Portland to New Orleans as part of the trade that also brought McCollum to the Pelicans, scored 12 points, as did rookie Trey Murphy III.
Reserve guard Jose Alvarado also contributed with nine assists and four steals for the Pelicans, who led by 13 at halftime and by 25 after three and continued to widen the lead down the stretch.

Drew Eubanks scored 20 points and CJ Elleby had 17 points for Portland, but the Blazers were sloppy with the ball and outworked around the basket. Portland committed 22 turnovers, leading to 36 Pelicans points. New Orleans also turned 23 offensive rebounds into 33 second-chance points and outrebounded the Blazers 49-27.
McCollum had 15 points and Valanciunas 14 in the first half, when New Orleans led by as many as 15 points.
TIP-INS
Trail Blazers: Reggie Perry scored 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting. ... Former Pelicans Didi Louzada scored 11 points and went 3 of 4 from deep. ... Josh Hart, who was part of the McCollum trade, did not play but received a loud ovation when shown on the video board above the court. Hart smiled, put his hand on his chest, stood and waved to the crowd. ... Shot 52.2% (36 of 69), including 11 of 31 from 3-point range.
Pelicans: While Ingram was a late scratch with a recurring hamstring injury, Pelicans coach Willie Green downplayed the seriousness of the injury. "We just don´t want to risk putting him on the floor and he´s feeling sore," Green said. "We don´t anticipate he´ll miss a play-in game or anything like that. He´s just not going tonight." ... Jaxson Hayes highlighted his 11-point night with several authoritative dunks. ... Rookie Herb Jones had nine points and eight rebounds, highlight by his block of what looked like either a lob or long shot by Keon Johnson. Jones raced into the Portland back court to grab the loose ball and finished with a breakaway layup.
ZION UPDATE
Green said before tipoff that Williamson, who has not played or even fully practiced this season as he recovers from an offseason foot injury, is now doing some "controlled" five-on-five work.
"He´s playing against the coaches and some of our guys will jump in," Green explained. "He´s playing in a controlled scrimmage and that´s where he´s progressed to. Past that, there´s no update on him."
The Pelicans have not officially ruled out Williamson for the season, but have not offered any indication that he'll play any time soon, either. New Orleans has two regular season games left and must win two play-in games to advance to the NBA playoffs.
UP NEXT
Trail Blazers: Visit Dallas on Friday night for their final road game of the season.
Pelicans: Visit Memphis on Saturday for their road finale.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Gov. Greg Abbott’s new border security directive to inspect more vehicles will have an impact across the state.
Some Texans could feel it soon because of added strain on a supply chain experts said is still recovering from the pandemic.
This is a direct response here in Texas, after the Biden administration said it plans on ending Title 42.
Inside of Sazón, a Mexican restaurant in Central Texas, some essentials for the business like limes, avocados and tequila come from Mexico.
“As a small business owner, one of the things we’d like to do is stock up,” said Margarito Arnada, Sazón’s general manager.
Arnada said that’s not always possible. He said his restaurant is still somewhat feeling the impact of shortages on these goods caused by the pandemic. Now he wonders if they’ll have to make adjustments again after Abbot’s new directive.
“A zero tolerance policy for unsafe vehicles for smuggling migrants across the border is being implemented immediately,” Abbott said at a press conference Wednesday. “This is going to dramatically slow traffic from Mexico and to Texas.”
Increasing vehicle inspections is just one step Abbott said the state will be taking in response to the Biden administration ending Title 42.
“With all the supply chain challenges that companies are facing right now, there will be an effect,” Texas Tech Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management Daniel Taylor said.
Taylor said the stalled traffic at the border will likely impact produce supply the most.
“Those would be the first ones to be noticed, right, that they go pretty well directly from the border to the grocery stores, you know, through their distribution networks. Those effects can be felt as in, as soon as a week,” Taylor said.
Mexico is Texas’ biggest trading partner, so Arnada prepares himself for what could affect his business.
“The price goes up, and the quantity goes down,” Arnada said. “But you know, it’s stuff we need.”
In 2019, pre-pandemic trade between Texas and Mexico accounted for more than $212 billion. Total U.S. ports of entry in Texas processed more than $440 billion of trade for the nation from Mexico.
To give you an idea of what this means, Mexico is the top trade partner for both Texas and the U.S. Seventy percent, or the vast majority, was truck traffic. Another 17% crossed by rail from Mexico.

BOSTON (AP) — Reggie Lutz scored to break a second-period tie and Minnesota State scored three times in the third in the Frozen Four semifinal on Thursday night to beat big-city rival Minnesota 5-1 and advance to the national championship game.
Minnesota State will play for its first NCAA hockey title Saturday night against Denver, which beat Michigan 3-2 in overtime in the the early semifinal.
Benton Maass, Ondrej Pavel, David Silye and Brendan Furry also scored for Minnesota State, and Hobey Baker Award finalist Dryden McKay stopped 16 shots. Justen Close made 27 saves before he was pulled for an extra skater with 3:51 left, but the Gophers could not convert and Furry delivered an empty-netter.
In a Frozen Four of bluebloods that have combined to win 22 NCAA titles, Minnesota State is the only school that has never taken home the trophy. But the Mankato-based Mavericks were the winningest team in the country this year — they claimed victory No. 38 on Thursday — and the only one of the four to have reached the national semifinals last year as well.
Minnesota took the lead with 11 minutes left in the first period when MSU turned it over in the neutral zone to set up a two-on-none against the goalie. Matthew Knies and Bryce Brodzinski passed it between themselves three times before Knies slammed it past McKay on the Gophers’ first shot of the game.
Maass tied it on wraparound about seven minutes into the second period, and about six minutes later Lutz found himself with the puck on the side of the net. He swiped at it twice, unable to get it past Close, then went behind the net and wrapped it around to make it 2-1.
The Mavericks made it 3-1 with two minutes gone in the third when Jack McNeely’s shot from the point was deflected in front by Pavel.

SC Senate passes scaled-down vaccine mandate ban bill
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Certain employers in South Carolina would be banned from requiring workers get vaccinated against COVID-19 in a bill approved by the state Senate on Wednesday.
In a 29-12 vote along party lines, the Senate passed the anti-vaccine mandate legislation, which the House of Representatives passed last December.
The bill prohibits state and local governments, including public school districts, from requiring their employees, contracted workers, vendors, or students get the COVID shot as a condition of employment or attendance.
These entities would also be barred from enforcing vaccine requirements on people who volunteer or participate in one of their activities, events, or programs, such as a summer camp.
The legislation would prevent vaccine mandates from being imposed on the state’s first responders, defined as a law enforcement officer, firefighter, EMT, or paramedic who is paid from public funds.
“This isn’t like an employer saying, ‘You can’t smoke on the job, or you gotta be here on time,’ or different things along — I mean, this is different, right. This is something that once it’s done, it’s done,” Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, R – Edgefield, said.
Workers would be eligible for unemployment benefits if they were fired for not complying with their private employers’ shot requirement, but senators rejected moves to retroactively extend those benefits to people fired in the last nine months for not getting vaccinated.
“They don’t want to lose their job,” Sen. Shane Martin, R – Spartanburg, said. “They had to make that decision to leave that good-paying job or be fired from it for refusing to put something in their body that they cannot take out.”
In order muster up enough support for the bill to bring about a debate in the Senate, its backers had to drop its most controversial provision: fines for private businesses that impose vaccine requirements on their workers.
Businesses would have been hit with a surcharge of about $7,500 a year for four years — around $30,000 over the entire period for each worker — if they fired, suspended, or cut the pay of an employee for not complying with a company vaccine mandate. The fine would have applied for every worker on the payroll, even if only a single employee’s termination or suspension had prompted the penalty.
The measure had been questioned and criticized by senators from both parties during earlier discussions, with some concerned with the effect it could have on companies already in South Carolina or looking to move to the state.
“I’m not in the business of punishing business. That’s not what I do. I just want them to knock it off, stop,” Massey, who proposed the penalties after the bill crossed over from the House to the Senate, said on the Senate floor. “But we took all that out. I didn’t like taking that out, but we had to take it out in order to get the bill up for conversation.”
The bill also bans so-called vaccine passports, prohibiting services or public accommodations from being denied in South Carolina based on vaccination status. That includes hotels, motels, restaurants, hospitals, clinics, stores, and theaters, among others.
But opponents of the legislation argued that, even scaled back, it still amounts to government overreach.
“We need to think about getting out of the business of telling private entities what they can and cannot do,” Sen. Kevin Johnson, D – Clarendon, said.
The version of the bill passed in the Senate on Wednesday is different from what the House passed last year, so the bill will return to the House. If House members agree to the changes, the bill heads to Gov. McMaster, but if not, a smaller group of Senate and House members will meet to negotiate a compromise to send to the governor for his signature.
If McMaster signs it, the law would go into effect immediately and expire at the end of 2023, unless extended by the General Assembly.

U of M Rochester plans to expand its campus
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) –The University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR) has its eyes on vacant downtown spaces to expand its campus.
“We have grown 13 percent so far during the pandemic, with enrollment expecting to rise again for the coming fall,” said Lori Carrell, UMR chancellor.
She said the university has an enrollment goal for the next school year.
“We’re moving towards our first milestone which would be a thousand students. Hope to celebrate in the fall,” Carrell said.
UMR was founded 16 years ago. The first graduating class was in 2013.
The university said enrollment growth means students need more on-campus facility options.
“Academic space, housing, of course, has been a pressing need,” Carrell said. “We need well-being space now with the decision from the Y.”
She said the UMR has a partnership with the YMCA for recreation. Many students would use the facility before it closed in January.
KTTC asked the chancellor if the former Y building is being considered for campus expansion.
“Not at this time,” Carrell said.
She said the expansion is not just about the number of students but the quality of education for students.
“With our strategic enrollment plan, we have three milestones, 1,000,1,500 and 2,500 [students enrolled]. At each milestone investment in facilities, and additional faculty and staff will be needed to grow to the next stage. We do anticipate reaching that first milestone this upcoming fall,” Carrell said.
A few UMR students also believe a campus expansion is needed.
“I’m hoping we’ll have more maybe gym facilities, and recreation stuff as well. Of course more opportunities for medical,” said David Ajay
“If there’s more apartment buildings as I know many students live off-campus because there aren’t enough buildings for every student to live here right now,” said Mikayla Hanson
“The university has expanded a lot. I feel like with that expansion needs to come like more places for students to live obviously. So, I think that’s a great opportunity that the university is expanding to new vacant areas,” said Neal Sannuli.
UMR plans to make a formal announcement of the expansion plans within the next couple of months.

Today in History
Today is Friday, April 8, the 98th day of 2022. There are 267 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th career home run in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, breaking Babe Ruth’s record.
On this date:
In 1513, explorer Juan Ponce de Leon and his expedition began exploring the Florida coastline.
In 1864, the United States Senate passed, 38-6, the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishing slavery. (The House of Representatives passed it in January 1865; the amendment was ratified and adopted in December 1865.)
In 1911, an explosion at the Banner Coal Mine in Littleton, Alabama, claimed the lives of 128 men, most of them convicts loaned out from prisons.
In 1913, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, providing for popular election of U.S. senators (as opposed to appointment by state legislatures), was ratified. President Woodrow Wilson became the first chief executive since John Adams to address Congress in person as he asked lawmakers to enact tariff reform.
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a freeze on wages and prices to combat inflation.
In 1952, President Harry S. Truman seized the American steel industry to avert a nationwide strike. (The Supreme Court later ruled that Truman had overstepped his authority, opening the way for a seven-week strike by steelworkers.)
In 1973, artist Pablo Picasso died in Mougins (MOO’-zhun), France, at age 91.
In 1990, Ryan White, the teenage AIDS patient whose battle for acceptance had gained national attention, died in Indianapolis at age 18.
In 1992, tennis great Arthur Ashe announced at a New York news conference that he had AIDS (Ashe died the following February of AIDS-related pneumonia at age 49).
In 1993, singer Marian Anderson died in Portland, Oregon, at age 96.
In 2010, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the New START treaty in Prague.
In 2020, a 76-day lockdown was lifted in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the global pandemic began; residents would have to use a smartphone app showing that they had not been in recent contact with anyone confirmed to have the virus. Sen. Bernie Sanders ended his presidential bid, making Joe Biden the presumptive Democratic nominee to challenge President Donald Trump.
Ten years ago: A U.N.-brokered plan to stop the bloodshed in Syria effectively collapsed after President Bashar Assad’s government raised new, last-minute demands that the country’s largest rebel group swiftly rejected. The U.S. and Afghanistan signed a deal giving Afghans authority over raids of Afghan homes, resolving one of the most contentious issues between the two wartime allies. Bubba Watson saved par from the pine straw and won the Masters on the second hole of a playoff over Louis Oosthuizen (WUHST’-hy-zen).
Five years ago: Immigrant workers at the famed Tom Cat Bakery in New York who were threatened with being fired if they didn’t produce legal work papers rallied outside President Donald Trump’s Manhattan home.
One year ago: Medical experts testifying at the murder trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin said George Floyd had died of a lack of oxygen from being pinned to the pavement with a knee on his neck, emphatically rejecting the defense theory that Floyd’s drug use and underlying health problems killed him. American author John Naisbitt, whose 1982 bestseller “Megatrends” was published in dozens of countries, died in Austria at 92.
Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Shecky Greene is 96. Author and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Seymour Hersh is 85. “Mouseketeer” Darlene Gillespie is 81. Singer Peggy Lennon (The Lennon Sisters) is 81.

American expat in Sydney reveals the 'slang' terms she REFUSES to use - including lobby, power point and car park
- US expat Sophia has spoken about the many slang terms used in Australia
- Despite being in Sydney for two years she still finds herself avoiding using them
- She doesn't use the words lobby, power point or car park while living in Oz
- Previously, Sophia was slammed for 'disliking' Bunnings sausage sizzles
An American expat has spoken about the Australian words she refuses to use despite living in Sydney for the past two years because they differ from the phases she's used to.
Sophia, who goes by @sophiainsydney now that she has left Los Angeles, shared a video on TikTok talking about 'Aussie slang', saying that she can't bring herself to use them.
'I don't use foyer for a lobby. Power point where you put things in... I call that an outlet. For car park I still say parking or parking lot. Tea towels are just towels. Petrol is gas and everything is a tissue out here, when I say napkin,' she explained.
Plenty of her Australian followers were confused by the wording, saying they also use the word lobby and napkin.
Sophia, who goes by @sophiainsydney now that she has left Los Angeles , shared a video on TikTok talking about 'Aussie slang', saying that she can't bring herself to use them
'Literally the whole world apart from North Americans use the word petrol instead of gas,' one fan said.
'It's amazing how varied the English language is in the US, England and Australia,' said another.
Last month Sophia was forced to defend her Bunnings sausage sizzle-eating style after she paired two slices of bread with the iconic meat and onion combination.
She had been asked by her Australian followers to give the hardware store's lunchtime delicacy a try.
'Alright, you guys have been telling me to get a sausage sizzle for the past few years,' she said.
Sophia, who goes by @sophiainsydney now that she has left Los Angeles, had been asked by her Australian followers to give the hardware store's lunchtime delicacy a try
'So this is my first sausage sizzle. Honestly, the Costco hot dog is so much better than this - but whatever, I gave it a try.
'And the proceeds go to charity so it's for a good cause.'
More alarming than her sub par review of the experience was that she had been given two slices of bread for each sizzle - a crime dubbed 'unAustralian' by her fans.
'Who set up this poor tourist to look so silly? One piece of bread folded and triangle!' one person responded.
'I'm telling my therapist about what you just did,' said another.
A third added: 'The D I S R E S P E C T. Instant deportation, no remorse,' said one.
More alarming than her sub par review of the experience was that she had been given two slices of bread for each sizzle - a crime dubbed 'unAustralian' by her fans
'This feels so illegal to watch, back to the USA for you. Your visa is cancelled,' wrote one woman.
Sophia was forced to defend the act by stating that this was how it had been served to her at the Bunnings store in Gladesville.
'Guys, this is how they gave it to me in Gladesville. It would have better proportions by far if it was one piece of bread!' she said.
'Aussies served it to me this way.'

Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek is reportedly set to be handed a second chance at the club if Erik ten Hag is appointed as their next manager.
Ten Hag is understood to be United's top candidate to take over from Ralf Rangnick, with an agreement over his contract expected soon. The Dutchman has impressed during a spell at Ajax, where he has won two Eredivisie and KNVB Cup doubles.
His work at the Johan Cruyff Arena has now seen him earn the chance to make the step up to managing Premier League giants United. And if he takes over as expected, it would be good news for his countryman Van de Beek.
The midfielder was mainly left on the bench during the first half of the season as he was shunned by both Rangnick and predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. His lack of opportunities led to him being loaned out to Everton in the January transfer window.
Now freed from the pressure of United, he has become a key player for Frank Lampard, with all five of his Premier League starts coming for the Toffees. Having proven he can handle regular top-flight football, Van de Beek now appears to have earned a second chance back at his parent club.
According to The Sun, Ten Hag will bring his countryman 'in from the cold' next year if he is appointed. The duo developed what is described as a 'close relationship' during their time together at Ajax.
Should Donny van de Beek be handed a second chance at Manchester United by Erik ten Hag? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section...
Van de Beek played under Ten Hag for three years at Ajax before completing a £35million transfer to United. Together they won one of the doubles that Ten Hag has led the Dutch giants to, with the midfielder key.
As a result, it is stated that Ten Hag still holds the 24-year-old in 'high regard' despite his struggles since arriving at Old Trafford. The incoming United boss also believes that Van de Beek suits the style of football he hopes to implement at Old Trafford when he does take charge.

ROME (AP) — A judge in Genoa on Thursday ordered all 59 defendants to stand trial for the deadly 2018 collapse of a heavily used highway bridge in that Italian port city which sent cars and trucks plunging into the dry riverbed below.
Forty-three people were killed when a large section of the Morandi Bridge broke off during a violent rainstorm on Aug. 14, 2018, on the eve of Italy’s big summer holiday. Charges against the defendants include multiple manslaughter and making false statements.
Italy’s Rai state TV, reporting from the Genoa courthouse, said trial will begin July 7. It took Judge Paola Faggioni two hours to read aloud all the reasons why she was denying various objections raised by defendants’ lawyers before she ordered the trial.
Among those facing charges is Giovanni Castellucci, former CEO of the company that manages many of Italy’s highways and bridges, Rai said. Lawyers for Castellucci expressed confidence that a “fair trial” would find him innocent, the Italian news agency LaPresse reported.
Also standing trial are several people who worked for Italy’s transport and infrastructure ministry, the Genoa daily Il Secolo XIX reported.
The Genoa newspaper also reported that Faggioni approved plea bargain requests by both the highway company, Autostrade per Italia, and the Spea Engineering company, to pay 29 million euros ($33 million) to the Italian government in exchange for avoiding a trial.
Prosecutors argued in their indictment that some defendants were aware that the bridge, which was built in the 1960s, was at risk for collapse. They alleged that corners were cut on maintenance to save money.
The bridge’s designer had recommended regular upkeep to remove rust, especially due to the corrosive effect of moist air from the nearby Ligurian Sea, and maintenance to counter pollution’s effect on concrete.
A replacement bridge, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, a Genoa native, features 43 lamps in memory of those who perished.

HKSAR chief executive meets mainland TCM experts supporting epidemic fight
HONG KONG, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam on Thursday met with members of a mainland team of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) experts, who are in Hong Kong supporting the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic.
Lam thanked the central government and the experts for their assistance, including the formulation of practical anti-epidemic plans for Hong Kong's TCM sector, and said the HKSAR government will continue to promote the application of TCM in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong's battle against the ongoing fifth wave of infections, TCM has played an active role in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, and the confidence in the use of TCM has been greatly enhanced, Lam said, adding that she looks forward to an increase in Hong Kong residents who benefit from traditional Chinese medicine.
She expressed hope that the HKSAR government and the TCM sector will jointly build on the positive momentum and open a new chapter for the promising development of TCM in Hong Kong.
On Thursday, Hong Kong registered 1,368 new COVID-19 cases by nucleic acid tests, and 1,276 additional cases through self-reported rapid antigen tests, official data showed.

BOSTON (AP) — A former Florida prep school administrator who took college entrance exams for students in exchange for cash to help wealthy parents get their kids into elite universities is facing sentencing.
Judge Nathaniel Gorton is slated to hand down the decision against Mark Riddell in Boston federal court on Friday.
Riddell admitted to secretly taking the ACT and SAT in place of students, or correcting their answers, as part of a nationwide college admissions cheating scheme which has ensnared celebrities, business executives and athletic coaches at sought-after schools such as Stanford and Yale.
Riddell, who had been cooperating with federal authorities in hopes of getting a lesser sentence, pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges in April 2019.
U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins' office, in a filing ahead of Friday’s hearing, has asked the judge to sentence Riddell to four months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release and a previously-ordered forfeiture judgment of nearly $240,000.
Riddell's lawyers, in their own sentencing memo, argued for one to two months in prison. They also note he's paid nearly $166,000 toward the forfeiture obligation.
The Harvard graduate, who emerged as a key figure in the wide-ranging scandal, has previously said he's “profoundly sorry” and takes full responsibility for his actions.
Riddell oversaw college entrance exam preparation at IMG Academy, a school in Bradenton, Florida, founded by renowned tennis coach Nick Bollettieri that bills itself as the world’s largest sports academy. Riddell has since been fired.
Authorities say the admissions consultant at the center of the scheme, Rick Singer, bribed test administrators to allow Riddell to pretend to proctor the exams for students so he could cheat on the tests. Singer typically paid Riddell $10,000 per test to rig the scores, prosecutors said.
Riddell made more than $200,000 by cheating on over 25 exams, prosecutors said.
Since March 2019, a parade of wealthy parents have pleaded guilty to paying big bucks to help get their kids into school with rigged test scores or bogus athletic credentials in a case prosecutors dubbed Operation Varsity Blues.
The group — including TV actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin and Loughlin’s fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli — have received punishments ranging from probation to nine months behind bars.
A Boston jury is also deliberating Friday on the fate of Jovan Vavic, a decorated former water polo coach at the University of Southern California. He's the only coach of the many implicated to challenge his role in the scheme in a trial.

BOSTON (AP) — When she was elected mayor of Boston in November, Michelle Wu transformed the image of the city's chief executive — up until then the sole domain of white men, many of Irish descent.
Now in office, the Chicago-born daughter of Taiwanese immigrants is facing a raft of challenges, including making good on key campaign promises like creating a fare-free public transit system and blunting the city's skyrocketing housing costs.
Wu, 37 and the mother of two, has also grappled with early morning protests outside her home and racist online taunts.
“You can’t take things personally in jobs like this,” Wu said in an interview with The Associated Press. “At the same time, it does seem like in the last few years especially we’ve seen a normalizing of behavior that is toxic and harmful and personally abusive to many, many people.”
"Women and women of color in particular often have the most racialized and gender-based versions of that intensity," she added.
The noisy morning gatherings outside her home prompted Wu to push through a new city ordinance limiting the hours during which protesters can gather in residential neighborhoods to the window between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
She’s also dismissed online chatter which tried to raise doubts about her mental health. Wu has been open about her mother’s struggles with mental illness.
“What has been most staggering about some of the rumors or these whisper campaigns is that in fact, I think it has the opposite impact,” Wu said. “If I needed mental health support, I would be the first to say that."
She’s also run into flak from city unions on pandemic mandates and, more recently, tried to thread a needle on whether and how to allow restaurants to continue offering sidewalk dining along the narrow streets of the city’s North End.
The post is still a dream job for Wu — a former Democratic city councilor and policy wonk in the mold of mentor Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
“In many ways, it feels familiar and exhilarating and energizing to be able to roll up my sleeves and just work on issues that I had been talking about,” Wu said. “The energy right now in Boston to get things done is felt everywhere across the city.”
While Wu is the first woman of color to be elected mayor, she wasn't the first to hold the seat. Former City Council President Kim Janey, who is Black, held the post of acting mayor for much of 2021 after former Mayor Marty Walsh resigned to become President Joe Biden's labor secretary.
Unlike the typical Boston mayor, Wu wasn't born and raised in the city. She first arrived from Chicago to attend Harvard University in neighboring Cambridge.
She would eventually relocate her two younger sisters and mother to Boston as she attended Harvard Law School.
“Boston has given me everything that I cherish in my life — the ability to take care of my family, to connect my mom to health care in a way that saved her life, the schools that I was able to raise my sisters in and now my own two boys,” Wu said. “It’s a city of every possible opportunity that you can think of, but it’s also a city that really needs to take down barriers, still, for that to be felt across every single part of our neighborhoods.”
One of biggest challenges facing Wu is housing.
Boston is facing a hollowing-out, driven by rapid gentrification as sleek new apartment buildings rise in neighborhoods that traditionally relied on three-story wooden homes to house a working and middle class
“We are working to throw everything we have at housing right now,” said Wu, who has pledged to revive rent control, outlawed by Massachusetts voters in 1994.
Hemmed in by neighboring communities and the Atlantic Ocean, Boston doesn't have many large open spaces for new housing. One of the last — a former industrial landscape rebranded as the Seaport District — has been filled with boxy glass-enclosed high rises.
Wu is eyeing three other parcels: a former horse track in the city’s East Boston neighborhood; a reconfiguration of Interstate 90 that could unlock land largely owned by Harvard; and an industrial area near the city’s South Boston neighborhood that had been eyed for a stadium during the city’s aborted bid for the 2024 Olympics.
During the campaign, Wu also promised a free public transit system.
The city has put a down payment on that pledge with three free bus lines serving primarily riders of color and lower income neighborhoods. The city is picking up the tab — $8 million in federal pandemic relief funds — for the next two years.
“Bus service is the most cost efficient and the most equitable place to start, because that is where we see some of the largest gaps in rider experience,” Wu said, noting that Black riders spend 64 more hours per year sitting on buses in Boston compared to white riders.
Expanding the fare-free push to other bus lines and the subway system would likely require action by state lawmakers, the governor and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which oversees the public transit system. Republican Gov. Charlie Baker has panned the idea.
Wu said she’s hoping to change what it means to be mayor of the nearly 400-year-old city — and maybe change the way the rest of the country sees Boston while she's at it.
“I made a promise to myself early on that I would be proud of who I was in politics long after I got out of politics,” Wu said. “I was anxious at first that being in this role would mean having to change my family’s life in different ways. But politics doesn’t have to be how we see it now. Politics is what we make of it."
“I hope that, in leaning into who I am — a mom with two young kids, someone who didn’t grow up in the city, raised by parents who didn’t grow up in this country — that I expand the definition of what leadership looks like," she said.

The number of NHS staff at hospitals in England off due to Covid has risen for the fourth week in a row, new figures show.
An average of 28,560 NHS staff at hospital trusts in England were ill with coronavirus or having to self-isolate each day in the week to April 3, according to data from NHS England.
This is up 4% on the previous week, but the rate of increase appears to be slowing after previous week-on-week rises of 19% and 31%.
The figures suggest that, on average, one in 33 (3%) NHS staff working in hospital trusts were off sick or self-isolating due to Covid each day last week, based on the latest available NHS workforce data.
NHS England medical director Professor Stephen Powis said: “Today’s figures sum up just how busy NHS staff currently are.
“Alongside increasing numbers of Covid and emergency patients and with 94% of beds now occupied, they are also dealing with the highest number of staff off sick due to the virus for 10 weeks – an average of 28,500 staff each day.
“Despite the sustained demand, staff are continuing to focus on addressing the Covid-19 backlogs and roll out the NHS spring booster programme, so please come forward for your Covid jabs, and if you need NHS help, use the NHS 111 online service.”
The NHS England figures, published on Thursday, also show that the seven-day average number of Covid staff absences at English hospital trusts has fallen across two regions.
The largest fall was 4% in the south west, down from an average of 4,137 a day to 3,976, while there was a 1% fall in the east of England from 2,571 to 2,537.
However, the north east and Yorkshire saw the largest rise in Covid hospital staff absences, up 13% from 4,990 to 5,612.
The Royal College of Nursing director for England, Patricia Marquis, said: “Covid-19-related absences continue to rise sharply amongst NHS staff, climbing by more than 80% in the last month.
“As systems declare critical incidents and patients face long waits for emergency care, the weekly release of key data from the NHS comes to an end today. Alongside the British Medical Association, we are calling for this to still be released in the interests of transparency.
“Nursing staff must be assured the pressure they face with high bed occupancy and understaffing is not resting on them alone.”

On this day in 2017: Nicola Adams makes winning start to professional career
Nicola Adams sailed through her professional debut with a shut-out 40-36 points win over Argentina’s Virginia Carcamo on this day in 2017.
Billed as ‘The Lioness’, the then 34-year-old double Olympic champion swiftly adapted to her new surroundings with a sharp and commanding performance against a clearly outclassed opponent at the Manchester Arena.
Carcamo, fighting outside of her homeland for the first time, certainly seemed undaunted by the occasion and the first of four two-minute rounds was relatively even as Adams grew used to her new situation.
Cheered on at ringside by her then partner Marlen Esparza, another Olympian who had recently turned professional, Leeds fighter Adams looked much sharper in the second round as she landed swiftly and accurately with both hands.
In a better third, a superb long left clearly hurt the Argentinian, but to Carcamo’s credit she came back for more and never looked in any danger of succumbing to defeat before the final bell.
It set the scene for a short but successful professional career for Adams as she became WBO flyweight champion after beating Isabel Millan on a points decision in October 2018.
Her career lasted just one more fight, though, as in a tough bout with Maria Salinas, which ended in a draw, Adams suffered a torn pupil and announced her retirement in late 2019.

Jackson will join more diverse and conservative high court
WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will join a Supreme Court that is both more diverse than ever and more conservative than it’s been since the 1930s.
She’s likely to be on the losing end of a bunch of important cases, including examinations of the role of race in college admissions and voting rights that the high court, with its 6-3 conservative majority, will take up next term.
Jackson, 51, is the first Black woman confirmed to the Supreme Court following Thursday’s 53-47 vote by the Senate. She won’t join the court for several months, until Justice Stephen Breyer retires once the court wraps up its work for the summer — including its verdict on whether to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion rights.
When Jackson takes the bench as a justice for the first time, in October, she will be one of four women and two Black justices — both high court firsts.
And the nine-member court as a whole will be younger than it’s been for nearly 30 years, when Breyer, now 83, came on board.
Among the younger justices are three appointees of former President Donald Trump, and the court’s historic diversity won’t obscure its conservative tilt.
In Breyer’s final term, the conservative justices already have left their mark even before deciding major cases on abortion, guns, religion and climate change. By 5-4 or 6-3 votes, they allowed an unusual Texas law to remain in effect that bans abortions after roughly six weeks; stopped the Biden administration from requiring large employers to have a workforce that is vaccinated against COVID-19 or be masked and tested; and left in place redrawn Alabama congressional districts that a lower court with two Trump appointees found shortchanged Black voters in violation of federal law.
Jackson’s replacement of Breyer, for whom she once worked as a law clerk, won’t alter that Supreme Court math.
“She’s just going to be swimming against the tide every day. That’s a lot to take on,” said Robin Walker Sterling, a Northwestern University law professor.
But Jackson’s presence could make a difference in the perspective she brings and how she expresses herself in her opinions, said Payvand Ahdout, a University of Virginia law professor.
Jackson, who was raised in Miami, may see the high court’s cases about race “from the lens of being a Black woman who grew up in the South. She has an opportunity early on to show how representation matters,” Ahdout said.
During her Senate confirmation hearings, Jackson pledged to sit out the court’s consideration of Harvard’s admissions program, since she is a member of its board of overseers. But the court could split off a second case involving a challenge to the University of North Carolina’s admissions process, which might allow her to weigh in on the issue.
“Historically, the court goes to some length to try to get as much participation as possible. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see the two dealt with separately,” said Ahdout, who was a clerk to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg the last time the court dealt with race in college admissions, in 2016. Just seven justices took part in that case, because Justice Antonin Scalia died before it was decided and Justice Elena Kagan had been involved as a Justice Department official before joining the court.
For now, Jackson might not have much to do. She remains a judge on the federal appeals court in Washington, but she stepped away from cases there when President Joe Biden nominated her to the Supreme Court in February and will continue to do so, a White House official said.
That could reduce the number of times Jackson has to recuse herself from any of her old cases that later make their way to the Supreme Court.
Breyer said in January that he would retire once his successor had been confirmed, but not before the end of the term. With a bare Senate majority, Democrats didn’t want to risk waiting until the summer for confirmation hearings and a vote.
That leaves Jackson in a situation that is “unprecedented in modern times,” said Marin Levy, a Duke University law professor who studies the federal judiciary.
Most new justices begin work a few days after they are confirmed, Levy said. Justice Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in to the court just a few hours after his tumultuous Senate vote.
Jackson could spend time arranging for her clerks and other staff for the Supreme Court, and closing down her current office.
But she won’t have to find new housing or upend the lives of her husband and children. Her new workplace is less than a mile from the court of appeals.

New lithium technology can help the world go green -- if it works
Global automakers, mining companies and investors are pouring millions of dollars into direct lithium extraction companies, betting they can supply the bulk of the lithium needed to power the electric vehicle revolution.
Rio Tinto, General Motors and even the U.S. Energy Department are investing heavily in a crop of newer technologies that could revolutionise the way lithium is produced for electric vehicle batteries.
(Sign up to our Technology newsletter, Today’s Cache, for insights on emerging themes at the intersection of technology, business and policy. Click here to subscribe for free.)
Now those technologies just have to prove they work on a commercial scale.
If they do, miners will be able to boost global lithium production with a footprint far smaller than open-pit mines and evaporation ponds, which often are the size of multiple football fields and unpopular with local communities.
These so-called direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies extract the white metal from brine using filters, membranes, ceramic beads or other equipment that can typically be housed in a small warehouse. But they often use lots of potable water and electricity, and none have worked at commercial scale.
Global automakers, mining companies and investors are pouring millions of dollars into DLE companies, betting they can supply the bulk of the lithium needed to power the electric vehicle revolution.
"It's such a game changer. There's huge opportunities," U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told an energy conference last month about DLE.
Granholm's department has given Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc a $15 million grant to test DLE technology at California's Salton Sea, under which sit large geothermal lithium deposits, and is considering funding other DLE projects.
DLE technologies would challenge traditional miners such as Albemarle Corp, the world's largest lithium producer, and prospective miners such as Lithium Americas Corp, ioneer Ltd and Piedmont Lithium Inc.
Albemarle is studying various DLE technologies but its executives have said DLE likely works best when engineered for a specific lithium deposit, which could curb enthusiasm.
Large water usage by several types of DLE technologies has raised eyebrows. The technology General Motors Co is relying on to supply a "sizeable amount" of its lithium from the Salton Sea region uses 10 tonnes of water for every tonne of lithium produced.
Privately held Lilac Solutions Inc, backed by BMW and Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures, developed that technology and said it could use a desalination plant to filter brackish water to avoid using potable water.
"If needed, we're willing to make those capital investments to ensure we're not jeopardising anyone's freshwater," said Lilac CEO Dave Snydacker. "New technology is absolutely essential for society to obtain the volumes of lithium that are necessary for electric vehicles."
Prominent short seller Hindenburg Research issued a 59-page report in February questioning whether the DLE technology from Standard Lithium Ltd even works, despite backing for its Arkansas project from chemical giants Koch Industries Inc and Lanxess AG.
"DLE is one of those technologies that's been a hope and a prayer, Hail Mary for most, so that's fertile ground for stock promoters," said Nathan Anderson of Hindenburg.
Standard disputed the allegations in the report, which erased more than $300 million in Standard's market value in one day and stoked fears about the DLE movement. The stock has partially recovered.
‘I’m a skeptic’
There are dozens of DLE-focused companies worldwide, some with their own technologies, some with brine-rich acreage and some with both.
"Direct lithium extraction is becoming a hot subject," said Olivier Le Peuch, chief executive of Schlumberger Inc, which is developing DLE technology with Panasonic Corp. It hopes to supply Tesla's Nevada Gigafactory, but has acknowledged it must find a way to produce the metal without potable water.
U.S. and global ambitions to go green are at stake. At least 70% of the U.S. lithium deposits are held in brine reserves, according to the Energy Department. Elsewhere, DLE offers a chance to produce lithium in areas where open-pit mines face strong opposition.
In Germany, Vulcan Energy Resources Ltd aims to use DLE the produce the metal for Renault SA and other automakers from Germany's Black Forest.
"As the EV transition accelerates, we can grow with that market," said Horst Kreuter, Vulcan's CEO.
Privately held Luna Lithium Ltd plans to use DLE in Nevada, CEO Emily Hersh said. In Utah's Great Salt Lake, Compass Minerals International Inc has been trying to chose a DLE technology for more than a year and hopes to make a decision this summer.
Galvanic Energy LLC aims to sell to sell the 100,000 brine-rich acres it controls in Arkansas if it finds a DLE technology that works.
"These companies promote and talk about what they can do, but I'm a skeptic until proven otherwise," said Brent Wilson, a former Chesapeake Energy Corp geologist who formed Galvanic in 2018.
Rio Tinto Ltd paid $825 million last December for an Argentina DLE project, which it said "has the potential to significantly increase lithium recoveries as compared to solar evaporation ponds."
Privately held Energy Exploration Technologies Inc, known as EnergyX, has developed a DLE technology that uses membranes to filter lithium, but in some cases, EnergyX's DLE membrane technology may have to be paired with another DLE technology, said CEO Teague Egan.
"Our DLE membrane technology is very good, but DLE doesn't have to mean one technology or another. I think that's what people fail to see," said Egan, who aims to take EnergyX public by mid-2023.
EnergyX recently sent a pilot version of its technology to Bolivia in the hopes of convincing La Paz to chose it to develop the Uyuni salt flat, one of the world's largest lithium deposits.
Lilac, as well as several Chinese and Russian companies, are also competing for the Bolivian project, pointing to the rising global attention paid to the industry.
"DLE is not a magic wand, but it is a very valuable tool in the toolkit," said Luna Lithium's Hersh.

Australian UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski kept it respectful ahead of his clash with The Korean Zombie, otherwise known as Chan Sung Jung, at the official press conference ahead of their clash at UFC 273.
Yet the same could not be said for other fighters, as heated bantamweight rivals Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan had to be separated by security.

READ MORE: Why Supercars star James Courtney gave up Formula 1 dream
Staredowns were out of the question for the event but Volkanovski was granted the opportunity to come face to face with Jung.
"I just can't wait to get in there," he said, before telling the crowd, "supposedly, we're not allowed to do any faceoffs, or something. But let's give the crowd what they want – I want to do faceoff with Zombie if we can do that."
The Australian received a huge roar from the crowd in Jacksonville when he ripped off his shirt after coming face to face with his opponent, but things remained cordial between the two.
The Aussie was asked how he viewed his own legacy in the UFC to other fighters within the GOAT conversation, having racked up 20 consecutive victories.
"I've got some work to do," he said.
"I'm not the type of guy to toot my own horn, but I believe in my abilities and I've got a lot of goals.
"I want that GOAT status … I want all that kind of stuff. My work ethic, my mentality will get me there, but I've still got a lot of work to do."
The energy in the arena shifted when Sterling and Yan came out and tried to do their own faceoff, with security officials forced to intervene.
Sterling, who took the bantamweight belt off Yan in 2021 after copping an illegal knee and winning via disqualification, showed up to the press conference with a Jacksonville Jaguars helmet, and an MMA 'rule book for dummies'.
"I'll kill him on Saturday," Yan said.
"I finally get to shut this motherf---er up," Sterling responded, calling Yan "dirty".

Northwestern’s baseball team scored seven runs in the top of the second inning to put Lewis Cass in a 7-1 hole and the Tigers went on to beat the Kings 13-3 in a Hoosier Conference East Division game Thursday night at Walton.
The Tigers banged out 13 hits in completing the home-and-home sweep of the Kings. The bottom of the Tigers’ order came through in a big way. No. 6 hitter Jansen Slate was 2 for 4 with two RBI and two runs, No. 8 hitter Eastin Whaley went 3 for 5 with four RBI and No. 9 hitter Kai Jackson had a double and an RBI.
Also for the Tigers (2-0), Cole VanNatter was 2 for 4 with a triple and Tate Mullens was 2 for 4 with a double, an RBI and two runs.
“I feel like when you’re doing a back-to-back series like that, getting into [the opponent’s] bullpen is vital,” Northwestern coach Ryan Ward said. “We were able to come out with the win [Wednesday] and I think they used four pitchers. I think that helped us in the long run.
“That’s a credit to our whole team, but a special shoutout to the bottom of our lineup. It’s really passing the torch back to the top of the lineup and able to create longer innings, higher pitch counts and getting into the bullpen. Over the course of two days, that was the difference.”
A.J. Burkhalter pitched five sharp innings for the win in Thursday’s game. He allowed two hits and one run, struck out 11 and walked three. Cam Davis pitched the final two innings.
Jack Salyers led Cass with a 2-for-3 game that included an RBI. Tyson Good took the loss.
Northwestern is scheduled to host Rochester at 6 p.m. today. The Tigers’ game at Carroll on Saturday has been postponed.
WESTERN 14, TIPTON 1, 5 INN.
The Class 3A No. 7-ranked Panthers hammered the visiting Blue Devils to complete a two-game sweep of their HC East Division series.
Parker Dean started and pitched three innings for the win. The Purdue recruit allowed one hit and one unearned run, struck out six and walked none. Christian Pownall pitched the fourth inning and struck out four. Dylan Bryant pitched the fifth and struck out two.
Western had 11 hits. Dean and Garrett Lupoi both reached base in all four of their plate appearances. Dean was 2 for 2 with two doubles and three RBI and Lupoi was 2 for 2 with a double and four runs scored.
Also for Western (2-0), Cayden McClure was 2 for 3 with a triple and an RBI, Bret Echelbarger was 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI and Alex Watkins had a double.
“I felt like our offense was a little bit better. We scored in every inning,” coach Ryan Berryman said. “On the mound, Parker did a nice job early. He came out throwing strikes with three pitches and was really sharp. Christian Pownall and Dylan Bryant looked really good in relief as well.”
EASTERN 15, CP 1, 5 INNINGS
Clinton Prairie scored the opening run in the top of the first, then the Comets took over an inning later, putting up four in the second inning, five in the third, and six in the fourth in the Hoosier Heartland Conference opener.
Eastern starter Owen Taylor didn’t let Prairie back in the game. He threw all five innings with an unearned run, two hits and four walks while striking out 10.
At the plate, seven Comets drove in at least a run and eight collected hits. Corbin Snyder was 2 for 2 with a double, three runs and two RBI. Porter Brovont was 2 for 3 with two runs. Owen Taylor was 2 for 4 with a double. Levi Mavrick doubled and scored twice. Trent Rawls drove in two runs, Bryson Russell scored twice, and Cayden Calloway had a double, two runs scored and four RBI.
Eastern is 2-0 overall.
ALEX 5, TAYLOR 4
Down 5-0 after four innings, Taylor scored a single run in the fifth and three runs in the sixth to draw within 5-4, but the Titans could not complete the comeback.
Taylor coach Kris Dill pointed to missed opportunities as the difference.
“We had runners on in scoring position and we just didn’t get that timely hit, we didn’t execute the squeeze bunt twice early in the game. At the end of the game, that proved to be the difference,” he said. “I have faith that as the season goes along, we’ll get better at that execution.”
Ashton McKay had two singles for Taylor (0-2) and Cody Groves, Owen Shimer and Catch Sullivan drove in a run apiece. Zach Landis took the loss.
“Defensively, we didn’t have any errors and that is something we’ve been harping on for three years to get to this point. We played a very clean game,” Dill said. “I was very satisfied with our catchers. Micah Irwin, a freshman, threw out three runners. Justin Doty threw out a runner in the top of the seventh. Just all-around, a good defensive game.”
SOFTBALL
WESTERN 9, TIPTON 3
The teams were tied 1-1 through an inning and 2-2 through three innings at Western, when the Panthers took control of the Hoosier Conference East Division game with four runs in the bottom of the fourth. Morgan Ousley dropped the hammer with a three-run homer in that frame to put the Panthers up 6-2.
Ousley finished with four runs batted in to power Western’s attack and was also the winning pitcher, throwing five innings with four hits, three runs (two earned), three walks and eight strikeouts. Kylie Miller threw the last two frames and didn’t allow a run. She gave up two hits, no walks and struck out one.
At the plate for the Panthers (2-1, 1-0 HC East), Chloe Linn singled and doubled, Maisy Harlow and Mickey Irwin each had two singles, and Lexi Dollens made her first varsity hit a key one with a two-run single in the sixth to help the Panthers put the game away.
“I think our kids did a great job again of blocking out the elements and focusing on the game,” Western coach Jim Clouse said. “Even though we had a little bit of a slow start, we hung in there defensively. We struggled through the first few innings but we were able to get out of those with a defensive play or strikeout until our bats could get going a little bit.
“Emerson Merrell from Tipton did a good job of keeping us off balance, keeping the ball down, and then we caught up to her in the fourth inning.”
NW 7, CASS 2
A night after winning a 16-14 slugfest against Cass, the Purple Tigers (3-0, 2-0 HC East) took control early and kept it. Northwestern went up 4-0 in the first frame and led wire to wire. Cass cut the lead to 4-2 after two innings and didn’t score again.
Jaylyn Harrison was the winning pitcher, giving up two earned runs on three hits and a walk with four strikeouts. She was also the winning pitcher in Wednesday’s wild affair. On offense, she hit a three-run homer and a single. Jaci Elson singled, doubled, homered and had two RBIs for the Tigers. Bailey Henry singled and hit a two-run homer. And Ady Altman had two singles.
“Jaylyn pitched a lot better [Thursday] night,” NW coach Chris Walker said. “We hit the ball really well and [it’s] always good to be 2-0 in the conference.
“[Harrison] just hit her spots. It was like night and day from [Wednesday] night.”
On the Cass side, Elly Logan was 2 for 3 with a triple, single and RBI. Bayli Reed took the loss, throwing five innings with seven strikeouts.
HARRISON 11, KOKOMO 1, 6 INNINGS
Harrison feasted on free bases as Kokomo dealt seven walks and committed five errors.
Carly Trine led the offense for Kokomo (1-3, 0-1 North Central Conference), going 2 for 3. Brooke Hughes doubled. Carly Patterson threw four innings and took the loss.
“I feel like we are continuing to give teams free runs, either through putting them on base, or defensively and that has to stop if we’re going to be successful as a team,” Kokomo coach Mike Susong said. “We have a lot of talent on this team, but they’ve got to make the routine plays and we can’t issue free passes.”
BOYS TRACK
NW WINS TRIANGULAR
Northwestern finished first, Eastern second and Elwood third in a triangular meet at Elwood.
Eastern’s Jayden Eagle was a triple winner, taking the 100 (:11.5), 200 (:24.0) and the long jump (17-feet, 7.5 inches).
“With spring break being this week, literally 50 percent of our team was gone, we only had 12 or 13 guys on the squad,” Eastern coach Blake Donson said. “For the low numbers, and the weather was horrendous, I was pretty happy with how everything ended up shaking out. My throwers did really good. Jayden of course, triple winner, and he was part of the second place 4x100 team as well.”
BOYS GOLF
TIPTON 175, NW 215
Led by medalist Maverick Conaway’s 40, the Blue Devils topped the Tigers in tough weather conditions at Green Acres G.C.
“It was brutal. It was really windy, it was really cold,” Northwestern coach Kurt Koetter said. “I think that both teams shot higher than what they normally will.”
Sammy Shotwell led the Tigers in their season opener with a 47. Logan Duncan (54), Michael VanOsdell (56) and Will Baxter (58) rounded out the Tigers’ team score.
“First match out, I have a young team and I think they were very nervous and anxious,” Koetter said. “I’m not happy with 215, but I definitely think it will get better as the year goes along.”

I will always remember Aunt Becky for her devotion to family, her amazing food, and the love and vigor with which she approached life. She embraced her true gift, being able to find the joy in every moment no matter how large or small, encouraging others to do the same. While we miss her, the sky shines better as the light that is her soul helps the heavens shine brighter as she watches down over us. I will miss you terribly, but will always be blessed by knowing you and having your influence on our family and in my life.

PARIS (AP) — French voters in Sunday's presidential election will use the same system that's been used for generations: paper ballots that are cast in person and counted by hand. Despite periodic calls for more flexibility or modernization, France doesn’t do mail-in voting, early voting or use voting machines en masse like the United States. President Emmanuel Macron is the clear front-runner, though an unprecedented proportion of people say they are unsure who they will vote for or whether they will vote at all.
PAPER BALLOTS
Voters must be at least 18 years old. About 48.7 million French are registered on the electoral rolls of the place where they live.
Voters make their choices in a booth, with the curtains closed, then place their ballot in an envelope that is then put into a transparent ballot box. They must show photo identification and sign a document, next to their name, to complete the process.
Volunteers count the ballots one by one. Officials will then use state-run software to register and report results more efficiently.
But legally only the paper counts. If a result is challenged, the paper ballots are recounted manually.
PROXY VOTING
People who can't go to the polls for various reasons can authorize someone else to vote for them.
To do so, a voter must fill out a form ahead of time and bring it to a police station. A person can be the proxy of no more than one voter living in France — and potentially one additional person living abroad.
Up to 7% of people voted by proxy in the last presidential election five years ago.
NO MAIL-IN VOTING, RARE MACHINE-VOTING
Mail-in voting was banned in 1975 amid fears of potential fraud.
Machine-voting was allowed as an experiment starting in 2002, but the purchase of new machines has been frozen since 2008 due to security concerns. Only a few dozens towns still use them.
Last year, Macron's centrist government tried to pass an amendment to allow early voting by machine to encourage electoral participation amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Senate, led by a conservative majority, rejected the measure, arguing it was announced with too little notice and was not solid enough legally.
COVID-19 MEASURES
Most COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted in the country. Though the number of cases is significantly lower than earlier this year, infections have been creeping up again for several weeks, reaching over 130,000 new confirmed cases each day.
People who test positive for the virus can go to the polls. They are strongly advised to wear a mask and follow other health guidelines.
Voters can wash their hands at polling stations, which will also have hand sanitizer available. Equipment will be frequently cleaned. Each voting station will let fresh air in for at least 10 minutes every hour.
TWO-ROUND SYSTEM
France's presidential election is organized in two rounds. Twelve candidates met the conditions for Sunday's vote, including Macron and French nationalist leader Marine Le Pen, his main challenger.
In theory, someone could win outright by garnering more than 50% of the vote in the first round, but that has never happened in France.
In practice, the two top contenders qualify for a runoff, with the winner chosen on April 24.

There might not be a business around that is as unique as Rocket Athletic Club.
Located in Ally Village across from Cork & Pig Tavern, Rocket Athletic Club is a baseball and softball training facility, a baseball card shop, an art instruction school and an art gallery all in one building.
Danny Jordan, the owner, always gets questions from people wondering what the place is, as the first thing visitors see are a group of paintings he puts on display on the exterior.
Once visitors enter the front door, batting cages take up much of the building space.
“We just need a firecracker stand and cigarette machine and we’ve got it all,” Jordan jokes about what he tells inquisitive visitors.
Teaching kids how to play baseball and softball was Rocket Athletic Club’s purpose when it first opened in February 2020, but the pandemic hit one month later, so Jordan had to figure how to survive, especially when athletic facilities were ordered to close and then limited to 25 percent to 50 percent capacity during the early days.
He brought in his baseball card collection, which consists of old-time legends like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Mickey Mantle, to display in glass cases.
Every kid that walks through the door gets a free pack of baseball cards, courtesy of Jordan.
“That way they know it’s supposed to be fun,” Jordan said of giving kids free cards. “Hard work is hard work and you’ve got to do that, but the game of baseball is something to fall in love with and I believe these cards are helping connect them with the game. And certainly, they get connected with the card shop but more importantly, they learn there is more to the game than what they see. There’s a lot of history involved, and they can share that with their family, the older generations. Look at my cards, dad.”
Jordan has even planned a baseball card show where only kids will be permitted to sell cards, while the adults will be the buyers. He says the kid card collectors that frequent his place are young Gordon Gekkos that know all of the wise investments.
Jordan, who majored in art at Texas Tech and used to teach the subject in both junior high and high school, also offers art courses to both adults and kids.
Jordan’s objective to help people learn how to paint faster with a five-lesson course.
“A lot of kids surprisingly are interested and if they can come in here and do a lot of cool artwork also,” Jordan said. “Get away from the game a little bit. Let that other side of the brain have some exercise. It’s a good balance for them. Baseball is a great game. It shouldn’t be the only thing you do certainly.”
“They might discover things about themselves that they didn’t know in the first place,” he adds.
During his playing days, Jordan, while playing left field, threw out a base runner at second base to end the game and give Amarillo the Jayhawk Collegiate League title. The newspaper quoted him as saying “that guy can run, I better throw a rocket on the money” and Jordan’s teammates began referring to him as "Rocket." Hence the name of his facility.
Now the former Texas Tech baseball player, along with fellow instructors Nikko Velarde and Paul Vasquez, devote their time to passing on their wisdom to youth baseball and softball players.
Jordan says he has seen too many kids get burned out on the sport, so his objective is to make it fun above all else.
“We want them to have a neutral big brother in this mix,” Jordan said. “Someplace where they can go away from their friends and just kind of get away from the noise and just focus on themselves.”

The Manchester United hierarchy are desperate for Marcus Rashford to stay at Old Trafford despite his relationship with the club growing increasingly strained, according to reports.
Rashford, 24, has endured a challenging season since returning from shoulder surgery and he has scored just five times in 27 appearances. This poor form has seen the England international fall down Ralf Rangnick 's pecking order and he has started just one of United's last six Premier League games.
His relationship with the interim manager reached rock bottom when he was left out of the starting line-up for last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester despite being the only striker available. In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani, Rangnick chose to deploy Bruno Fernandes as a false-nine as the Red Devils laboured to a somewhat fortuitous point.
Rashford has considered leaving United - whom he joined aged seven - in the wake of this snub as Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona keep close tabs on his situation, The Sun reports. However, club chiefs are said to have emphasised they still see the player as a part of their future with a new manager soon taking over.
Erik ten Hag is expected to be unveiled as the next permanent boss at the end of the season and the prospect of working under a new coach could convince Rashford to stay. The report adds every candidate interviewed for the role was told the academy graduate should not be allowed to depart.
Rashford is out of contract in just over one year's time but there is the option to extend his deal for another season. There remains plenty of uncertainty surrounding United's attack ahead of a transformative summer.
Is Marcus Rashford good enough to start for Manchester United week in, week out? Have your say in the comments...
Ten Hag is set to receive significant financial backing when he is appointed and signing a new centre-forward - as well as two central midfielders - is the priority when the window opens. Tottenham frontman Harry Kane is on the Red Devils' radar and he is enjoying a typically-prolific season, albeit after a slow start in the league.
The Three Lions captain, 28, has plundered 22 goals in all competitions including seven in his last eight top-flight appearances. Elsewhere, Benfica ace Darwin Nunez is also a target amid his 28-goal season for the Portuguese giants.
The 22-year-old was on the scoresheet in Tuesday night's 3-1 defeat by Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. United were reportedly among the many clubs from the Premier League and across Europe to send scouts to watch Nunez in action against the Reds.

What’s wrong with this picture of Kentucky’s Congressional Districts, adopted by the State Legislature this year? The answer is partisan gerrymandering which is bad redistricting. The districts are neither cohesive nor reflective of regional interests. Even worse, they undermine the power of individuals and communities to influence their representatives.
In the First Congressional District for example, the residents of Franklin County in Central Kentucky will be represented by the same congressman as the people of Western Kentucky, extending to the Mississippi River. Not only are the residents geographically diverse, their economies, cultures and community needs differ widely. One can only assume that the First District was drawn this way to take Frankfort out of the Sixth District so that it would be more solidly Republican, thus protecting the incumbent Republican Sixth District representative. It also accommodates the first district congressman, who lives in Frankfort.
It should be noted that Republicans are not the only bad actors. When Democrats were in control, they drew a crazy First District to accommodate their political objectives. While Kentucky’s constitution gives the legislature the power to redraw the maps every 10 years after the census, the League of Women Voters hoped that this year legislators would choose good government instead of the same old gerrymandering for political power.
Unfortunately, the redistricting maps passed by the legislature this year, including the State House and Senate maps, abound with examples of partisan gerrymandering. In the Kentucky House of Representatives’ map, some counties were sliced and diced, for none other than partisan and incumbent reasons. Laurel County was divided so that it shares districts with ten other counties, Pulaski shares districts with nine other counties, and Pike shares districts with seven other counties. The same unnecessary divisions also occurred in many cities across the state.
Throughout the redistricting process there were frequent pleas to legislators from the League of Women Voters and many others, asking for public input. The pleas fell on deaf ears. During recent legislative sessions, we urged passage of bills calling for an advisory commission that would hold public hearings and offer maps, leaving final decisions to legislators. A resolution was filed simply asking for an open and transparent process with opportunities for citizen comment. All were rejected and in January Kentuckians got the same old results — maps drawn behind closed doors and passed within days of introduction without public debate or input.
It is time to change the way Kentucky draws its district maps. State legislators have shown us that, no matter which party is in control, they cannot help themselves. Partisan and incumbent interests are always going to trump fair redistricting maps. Kentucky needs to adopt a redistricting process that is far more open, transparent and non-partisan. Since over the years proposals to adopt redistricting commissions from both Democrats and Republicans have been rejected by the party in power, this will probably require a state constitutional amendment. The time to start working on this is now so that voters choose their representatives rather than politicians choosing their voters. The map can be accessed at legislature.ky.gov.
Fran Wagner is the President of League of Women Voters of Kentucky.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A 22-year-old woman and her best friend were tragically killed in a car crash.
On April 2, Albuquerque native Kelli Ingle and 21-year-old Chelsea Valladares were driving to Albuquerque to see Ingle’s family. An Arizona Department Of Public Safety spokesperson says about an hour before midnight, their car hit a guardrail while driving east on I-40 near the Arizona and New Mexico border.
The car came to a stop in the middle of the road when it was hit by a semi-truck. The impact killed Valladares and Ingle was seriously hurt. She was airlifted to a Gallup hospital where she died.
"She is so young,” says Matthew Ingle, Kelli’s brother. “It's such a obviously terrible nightmare that my family is living through."
Matthew said his younger sister had made that drive several times over the years. She and Valladares were seniors at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix and would travel frequently. He was working a graveyard shift that night when he learned what happened.
"I just, I just collapsed,” Matthew said. “I knew exactly what was happening and I just couldn't believe it. I was speechless.”
Where ever Kelli went, Matthew said a bright light would follow.
"In every group of people she's in, she's the brightest person in the room," he said.
Kelli performed in several musicals in Albuquerque. While singing was a passion for her, more than anything she wanted to help people.
"Her selflessness, she is just working for everyone else," Matthew said.
Kelli recently got back from a mission trip in the Dominican Republic. Kelli and Chelsea were set to graduate this April. Kelli’s goal was to be a nurse.
"Her heart was for the medical field,” Matthew said. “She wanted to help others always."
Her brother remembers all the family vacations he, his sister, and their two parents would take, saying Kelli had a contagious laugh that could cheer up anyone.
"One thing she would want me to say about her is the most important thing about her was her relationship with Jesus," Matthew said.
The last conversation he had with her, a Facetime call, was a week before the crash.
"So I got to see her when I was talking to her and I just remember saying love you, see you this weekend,” Matthew said. “I can still see that in my head so I'm really glad I made that call."
Despite this tragedy, the Ingle family have found some comfort in this tragedy, Kelli is an organ donor. Although she is gone, she’s accomplishing her goal of helping others.
"She is going to save a lot of lives and that's what's important," Matthew said.

Southampton charity Jubilee Sailing Trust faces closure once more
- Published
A sailing charity which offers tall ship experiences to disabled people is facing closure, unless it can raise £500,000 in a week.
The Southampton-based Jubilee Sailing Trust (JST) said the pandemic and cost of living crisis were responsible for the latest cash flow problems.
The charity, which began 44 years ago, has to raise £1.2m by the end of September 2022.
Trust CEO Patrick Fleming called it a "desperately difficult situation".
The Jubilee Sailing Trust last faced closure in 2019. It managed to raise £1m in five days following an emergency fundraising effort.
The charity, which was unable to secure financial support through the government's Covid Recovery Loan scheme and other institutional sources, relies on fundraising and monies from its voyages to fund its operations.
It had only recently restarted sailing since the outbreak of the pandemic and said it had an "unprecedented level of bookings and interest".
JST's CEO Patrick Fleming said: "We are in a desperately difficult situation and have to face the harsh reality that we may not be able to continue.
"In recent weeks we have worked with our advisers Grant Thornton, Hill Dickinson and NatWest bank but we have so far been unable to achieve a sustainable solution."
The charity owns 'Sailing Tenacious' which it said is now the only tall ship in the world which allows disabled and non-disabled people to sail alongside each other.
Mr Fleming said: "Our historic journey started with the generous support of the Queen's Jubilee Fund and the Royal Household.
"It is incredibly sad that we face closure, particularly in this, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Year."

Asian shares mostly higher after tepid gains on Wall Street
Asian shares are mostly higher as investors eye the war in Ukraine and what the world’s central banks might do to keep inflation in check
TOKYO -- Asian shares reversed course to finish mostly higher Friday as investors eyed the war in Ukraine and what the world's central banks might do to keep inflation in check.
Benchmarks fell in morning trading but rose later in the afternoon in Tokyo, Seoul and Sydney. In China, shares fell in Hong Kong but rose in Shanghai.
Investors have been weighing the latest updates from the U.S. Federal Reserve amid concerns about rising inflation. The Fed has signaled it is prepared to keep raising interest rates and reducing its stockpile of bonds and mortgage-backed securities in order to rein in the highest inflation in 40 years.
“Global appetite for risk in the short-term is still uncertain, with hawkish central banks weighing on sentiment. The situation between Ukraine and Russia continues to be a headwind, with markets now only looking for a major breakthrough to adjust current pricing,” Anderson Alves at ActivTrades said in a commentary.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 declined in morning trading but finished 0.4% higher at 26,985.80. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.2% to 2,700.19. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.5% to 7,478.00. Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.4% to 21,726.57, while the Shanghai Composite recouped earlier losses to rise 0.3% to 3,246.91.
On Wall Street, a late-afternoon rebound was led by technology companies. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 4,500.21, its first gain after a two-day slump. The benchmark index is still on pace for its first weekly loss in four weeks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3% to 34,583.57. The Nasdaq composite added 0.1% to 13,897.30.
“The market is certainly having to digest a Fed that appears to be willing to be very aggressive in battling inflation,” said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
Communication services stocks were among the biggest weights on the market. Twitter fell 5.4%. Computer and printer maker HP surged 14.8% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway disclosed an 11% stake in the company.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 2.65% from 2.61% late Wednesday.
The central bank is reversing course from low interest rates and the extraordinary support it began providing for the economy two years ago when the pandemic knocked the economy into a recession. It already announced a quarter-percentage-point increase and is expected to keep raising rates throughout the year.
Traders are now pricing in a nearly 80% probability the Fed will raise its key overnight rate by half a percentage point at its next meeting in May. That’s double the usual amount and something the Fed hasn’t done since 2000.
Persistently rising inflation has been threatening economic growth. Business have been raising prices on everything from food to clothing and that has put more pressure on consumers. Some companies have been unable to offset the impact from inflation, even with price hikes.
Wall Street is concerned about consumers eventually pulling back on spending as higher prices become too difficult to digest. Price increases were responsible for a rise in consumer spending in March. Otherwise, the results revealed a pullback.
A rapid increase in interest rates could also affect corporate earnings growth, though gauging that depends on how aggressive the Fed will be.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has also added to concerns about inflation. Energy prices have been particularly volatile and pushed gasoline prices higher.
U.S. benchmark crude added 46 cents to $96.49 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It fell 0.2% Thursday, but remains up roughly 31% for the year. Brent crude, the international standard for pricing, rose 43 cents to $101.01 a barrel.
Investors received an encouraging update on the job market Thursday. The U.S. Labor Department reported that fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as layoffs remain at historically low levels.
In currency trading, the dollar edged up to 124.04 Japanese yen from 123.97 yen. The euro rose to $1.0868 from $1.0861.

Can you pick Melbourne Storm master coach Craig Bellamy out of his kids' footy photo from 54 years ago?
- Bellamy celebrated 500 games as coach of the Melbourne Storm this year
- He also won a premiership as a player with the Canberra Raiders
- Reckon you can pick him out of a lineup from his junior club?
Think you know the NRL? Here's one for you: Can you pick which one of these junior players is Melbourne Storm master coach Craig Bellamy?
The answer will be revealed at the bottom of this brief history of Bellamy and his many accomplishments in rugby league.
Craig Bellamy is in this team photo somewhere from his junior playing days at Portland in New South Wales, can you pick him?
Bellamy played 148 first-grade games for the Canberra Raiders from 1982-92.
While the 1989 NRL grand final between the Canberra Raiders and the Balmain Tigers is regarded as one of the best of all time, the Raiders premiership in 1990 doesn't get the spotlight it deserves and is often regarded as the forgotten grand final.
Bellamy missed the cut in '89, but he squeaked onto the bench in the No.17 jersey for the 18-14 triumph over a stacked Penrith side that included young stars like Brad Fittler, Greg Alexander and Mark Geyer.
Bellamy receives the game ball from Cameron Smith after coaching his 500th NRL game during the round two NRL match between the Storm and South Sydney.
Bellamy also had a stint with one of the oldest rugby league clubs in the world back in the 1990s. Following his playing days with the Canberra Raiders, he signed with the Swinton Lions in Manchester.
The club was formed by the Swinton Cricket Club to keep their players fit and they only ever played the local Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in the early days.
Bellamy played for the club from 1991-92 before the Lions almost went broke, only being saved from liquidation at the 11th hour in 1993.
By then Bellamy had returned to Australia and had one last triumph, a win in the President's Cup with the Raiders in 1995.
He joined the Brisbane Broncos as Wayne Bennett's assistant coach in 1998, helping the Broncos to titles in 1998 and 2000, and was appointed Melbourne Storm NRL head coach in 2003.
Billy Slater and coach Craig Bellamy share a laugh during the team photo shoot at a Melbourne Storm NRL media opportunity in 2015
Bellamy has led the Storm into five NRL grand finals, won three titles, four minor premierships, two World Club Challenge trophies, and qualified for semi-finals every year except for 2010, when the club was stripped of two NRL premierships due to the salary cap scandal.
Bellamy was NSW State of Origin coach from 2008 to 2010, Australian Test assistant coach in 2005-06, and he has won the Dally M Coach of the Year award three times.
Reckon you know which one Bellamy is in the pic? He is standing at the back, second from right. Destined for greatness.

Extinction Rebellion activists abseil off Tower Bridge in climate protest
Extinction Rebellion protesters have shut down Tower Bridge by abseiling off the sides of the London landmark.
Two activists are hanging from the bridge by suspension cords and have unfurled a huge banner that reads: “End fossil fuels now.”
The bridge, a main traffic artery across the Thames, is closed to vehicles, causing long queues.
The pair hung the banner at 7am on Friday and also released red flares.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to the bridge at 7.30am and no arrests have been made.
Extinction Rebellion said: “The action has taken place at the gateway to the City of London – the root source of fossil fuel funding in the UK – and on the eve of the April Rebellion which begins tomorrow at 10am in Hyde Park.”
Amy Rugg-Easey, who is taking part in the demonstration, said: “I ask myself why I do these things all the time, and the main thing that drives me is that I have tremendous hope and optimism in humanity’s ability to fight the climate crisis – but there are certain people who continue to prevent that for their own profit.”
The action by Extinction Rebellion, which is calling for an end to all new fossil fuel infrastructure, comes after eight days of disruption at oil facilities by the group and the Just Stop Oil coalition.

Ed Sheeran: High Court battle was about `standing up for what was right´
Ed Sheeran has said he and his Shape Of You co-writers went to court to “stand up for what we thought was right” as he spoke for the first time after winning a High Court copyright battle over the song.
The singer, Snow Patrol’s John McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon faced accusations that they ripped off 2015 track Oh Why by Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue.
But a judge on Wednesday concluded Sheeran “neither deliberately nor subconsciously” copied a phrase from Oh Why when writing his number one hit.
Following his win, Sheeran told BBC’s Newsnight the case had been about “honesty” and not money.
He said he was “happy it’s over, I’m happy we can move on, and get back to writing songs” but that the episode had made him “sad” and changed how he views songwriting.
The Suffolk singer-songwriter, 31, also revealed he films all of his songwriting sessions to protect against future claims.
Seated alongside him, multi-instrumentalist McDaid spoke of the toll the case had taken on their mental health.
He said: “In the last year, it got really heavy and it was consuming. The cost to our mental health and creativity was really tangible.”
Sheeran and his co-authors originally launched legal proceedings in May 2018, asking the High Court to declare they had not infringed Chokri and O’Donoghue’s copyright.
Two months later, Chokri – a grime artist who performs under the name Sami Switch – and O’Donoghue issued their own claim for “copyright infringement, damages and an account of profits in relation to the alleged infringement”.
The pair alleged an “Oh I” hook in Shape Of You is “strikingly similar” to an “Oh why” refrain in their own track.
All three Shape Of You co-authors denied allegations of copying and said they did not remember hearing Oh Why before the legal fight.
In a preview of the full interview, due to air on Newsnight on April 8, Sheeran referenced a previous claim he said had been made about his song Photograph in the US in 2017 and explained that he now films all of his songwriting sessions.
The singer said he “personally” regretted settling over Photograph, saying he did not play the song for a long time, explaining: “I just stopped playing it. I felt weird about it, it kind of made me feel dirty.”
Sheeran added: “Now I just film everything, everything is on film. We’ve had claims come through on the songs and we go, well here’s the footage and you watch. You’ll see there’s nothing there.”
Speaking about his songwriting has changed, he added: “There’s the George Harrison point where he said he’s scared to touch the piano because he might be touching someone else’s note. There is definitely a feeling of that in the studio.
“I personally think the best feeling in the world is the euphoria around the first idea of writing a great song.
“That feeling has now turned into ‘Oh wait, let’s stand back for a minute’. You find yourself in the moment, second-guessing yourself.”
During the 11-day trial last month at the Rolls Building in London, Sheeran denied he “borrows” ideas from unknown songwriters without acknowledgement and insisted he “always tried to be completely fair” in crediting people who contribute to his albums.
Chokri told the trial he felt “robbed” by Sheeran and was “shocked” when he first heard Shape Of You on the radio.
The Oh Why co-writers’ lawyer, Andrew Sutcliffe QC, alleged Sheeran is an artist who “alters” words and music belonging to others to “pass as original”.
Ian Mill QC, for Sheeran, McDaid and McCutcheon, said the allegations against them were “impossible to hold”, with the evidence pointing to Shape Of You being an “independent creation”.
Sheeran was present throughout the trial and frequently burst into song and hummed musical scales and melodies when he took to the witness stand.
Watch the full interview on Newsnight at 10.30pm on Friday April 8 on BBC Two.

Judge Acquits Jan. 6 Defendant After Video Shows Police Allowing Him Into Capitol
A federal judge on Wednesday acquitted a New Mexico man of misdemeanor charges that he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol and engaged in disorderly conduct after he walked into the building during last year’s riot.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden issued the verdict from the bench after hearing testimony without a jury in the case against Matthew Martin. McFadden, who was nominated by former President Donald Trump, acquitted Martin of all four counts for which he was charged.
Martin did not dispute that he joined hundreds of other people in entering the Capitol building during the riot. The judge said Martin’s actions were “about as minimal and non-serious” as anyone who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Martin is the third Capitol riot defendant whose case has been resolved by a trial. He is the first of the three to be acquitted of all charges that he faced.
Martin, whose bench trial started Tuesday, testified that a police officer waved him into the building after the riot erupted. A prosecutor dismissed that testimony as “nonsense.”
The judge, however, said video shows two police officers standing near the Rotunda doors and allowing people to enter as Martin approached the doors. One of the officers appeared to lean back before Martin placed a hand on the officer’s shoulder as a possible sign of gratitude, the judge said.
McFadden described Martin’s testimony as “largely credible.” The judge said it was not unreasonable for him to assume that officers allowed him to enter the Capitol, even though alarms were blaring and broken glass was strewn about the floor.
The first two Capitol riot trials ended with convictions, although McFadden acquitted one of those defendants of a disorderly conduct charge after a bench trial last month. A fourth trial is being held this week in Washington, D.C., for a former Virginia police officer charged in the attack.
Martin was charged with four misdemeanor counts: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
The judge said Martin appeared to be a “silent observer of the actions of others.” McFadden didn’t find any evidence that Martin joined others in shouting and chanting inside the Capitol or that he intended to disrupt Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.
Dozens of Capitol riot defendants have pleaded guilty and been sentenced, but Martin is the first to testify at a trial. His acquittal could embolden others to gamble on a bench trial, although McFadden so far is the only judge to preside over one and decide a case.
Martin said he “went with the flow” as he approached the Capitol and testified that he saw a police officer wave him into the building. Martin remained inside the Capitol for about 10 minutes after entering the building through the Rotunda doors, according to prosecutors.
Martin said he “enjoyed the day.”
“It was a magical day in many ways,” he testified on Tuesday before adding, “I know some bad things happened.”
“You understand that police officers died?” Justice Department prosecutor Michael Romano asked Martin.
No police officers died in the riot, though one officer died after he collapsed hours later after reportedly being sprayed with bear spray. Several other officers who tried to quell the riot died by suicide in the months following the attack. More than 100 police officers were injured.
Prosecutors said Martin, an engineer, worked for a government contractor at the National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and held a top-secret security clearance on Jan. 6. Martin said he actually worked at a different facility in Los Alamos.
Defense attorney Dan Cron said Martin saw another person shake a police officer’s hand after entering the Capitol. Martin placed his hand on an officer’s shoulder “as a gesture of thanks and of good will,” Cron said.
“It was a very loud scene there. There was a lot going on there to try to process,” Cron told the judge.
Martin wasn’t accused of engaging in any violence or destruction.
“The whole time he’s in there he’s just standing there,” Cron said.
Romano, the Justice Department prosecutor, said Martin joined the mob in crowding police officers who were trying to disperse the crowd. The prosecutor said Martin knew that he wasn’t allowed to be in the Capitol.
“The idea that he thought he had permission to do that is nonsense,” Romano said.
Other riot defendants have also claimed police waved them in or said they could enter, but it is unclear how that testimony will be viewed by the courts.
McFadden presided over a bench trial last month for Cuoy Griffin, a county official in New Mexico who helped found a group called Cowboys for Trump. The judge on March 22 convicted Griffin of illegally entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds, but acquitted him of engaging in disorderly conduct.
On March 8, a jury decided the first Capitol riot trial by convicting a Texas man, Guy Reffitt, of storming the Capitol with a holstered handgun. Jurors also convicted Reffitt of obstructing Congress’ joint session to certify the Electoral College vote, interfering with police officers who were guarding the Capitol and threatening his two teenage children if they reported him to law enforcement.
Meanwhile, a jury trial started Tuesday for a former police officer from Virginia who is charged with storming the Capitol with a fellow officer.
A federal prosecutor said former Rocky Mount police officer Thomas Robertson stormed the Capitol because he believed the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from Trump and he wanted to interfere with the certification of the Electoral College vote.
The other former officer, Jacob Fracker, pleaded guilty to a riot-related charge and could be a key witness for prosecutors. Robertson’s trial resumed Wednesday with testimony from a Metropolitan Police Department officer who supervised other officers during the riot.
More than 770 people have been charged with riot-related federal crimes. Over 240 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors, and over 140 of them have been sentenced.

Opera has touched us all at one point in our lives from the soaring tenor of Luciano Pavarotti during Italia 90 to Largo al factotum from Rossini's The Barber of Seville, a comic opera that made its mark in Looney Tunes cartoons.
Opera's origins lie in 16th Century Italy and its popularity soon spread throughout Europe. Known for its lavish and resplendent sets and incredible singing performances, it became an artform popular with all classes until becoming associated with the elite in the 20th century.
But today, the baritones, sopranos and contraltos of opera can be enjoyed by all.
English Touring Opera is currently on the road and arrive at the Cambridge Arts Theatre this month with two operas that could not be more different - one of the best-known operas, Puccini’s La Bohème, and a new production of a satirical Russian fantasy, Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Golden Cockerel.
Both are perfect for either existing fans or those new to opera, for ages 11 years and above.
English Touring Opera’s Artistic Director, James Conway, describes La Bohème as a cultural touchstone throughout the world - “a poignant memory in music of love and loss – like a shard of mirror in which one sees one’s youth”.
This is a revival of the company’s much-praised 2015 production, helmed by Christopher Moon-Little, and tells a classic tale of passion, friendship, jealousy and mortality that perfectly captures the drama and poverty of late 19th-century Paris through period costumes, poetic designs and the most memorable music.
There are big themes of romance and friendship and this provides a universal appeal that is not just for established opera fans.
Taking the lead of Mimi are sopranos Paul Sides (23 April) and Francesca Chiejina (20 and 22 April), who was named by the Guardian as one of the exciting new artists across the musical spectrum who are set for success in 2022. Tenors Luciano Botelho (20 and 22 April) and Thomas Elwin (23 April) play her love-sick poet Rodolfo.
The company will also be performing Rimsky-Korsakov’s infrequently performed Russian satire, The Golden Cockerel, a darkly whimsical tale with a hard edge that mixes fantasy, mischief and musical delight.
This fairytale opera, based on a poem by Alexander Pushkin, holds up a mirror to the last days of the Romanovs and features a beautifully designed set and costumes from acclaimed designer Neil Irish.
This is the first opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to be produced and toured by English Touring Opera
“Despite its political edge, which meant it fell foul of the Tsarist censors, the music is daringly sensual at points,” says James Conway, who directed the production. “It’s a real undiscovered joy of an opera.”
La Bohème will be on April 22 and 23 at the Cambridge Arts Centre. The Golden Cockerel will be performed on April 21. For tickets book here.

Leah Behn, 17, the daughter of Princess Martha Louise of Norway and her late husband Ari Behn, has racked up tens of millions of views across her TikTok, YouTube and Instagram pages where she share insights into her jetset lifestyle.
The student, who is untitled and sixth in line to the throne, yesterday announced on Instagram she had signed to modelling agency Team Models, posting: 'Dream come true!'
Her comments were quickly flooded with supportive messages from friends and family, with her mother Princess Martha writing: 'So proud of you, my love.'

Meanwhile her sister Maud posted: 'SO PROUD.'
Her paternal grandmother, Marianne Behn, commented: 'I am proud of you darling!'
She's far from the first royal to have been snapped up by a modelling agency.
Lady Amelia Windsor, the Duke of Kent's granddaughter, is signed to Storm Model Management, and has modelled for big names like Dolce & Gabbana.
Leah, who has amassed thousands of fans online, has compared her relationship with her mother to that of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore of hit noughties show Gilmore Girls
Meanwhile Amelia and Eliza Spencer, who are Princess Diana's nieces, are also signed to the modellling agency.
Leah has amassed thousands of fans online who have been enthralled by her posts about life away from royal duty, including sunny trips to LA and Dubai, going thrift shopping, and spending time with her mother and sisters Maud, 18, and Emma, 13.
In one clip posted to TikTok, she compares her relationship with her mother to that of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore of hit noughties show Gilmore Girls.
The show tells the story of Lorelai, a single mother who is very close to her teen daughter, Rory, she had when she was 16.
After Leah announced the news on Instagram yesterday, her comments were flooded with supportive messages from her mother, sister and grandmother
Despite being born to multi-millionaire old-money parents, Lorelai describes herself as a free spirit and rejects her family's wealth, raising her daughter modestly.
Perhaps seeing a reflection with her own relationship, Princes Martha-Louise, 50, is far from a stiff-upper lip royal.
She describes herself as a 'clairvoyant' and has previously said she wants to help people by teaching them how to talk to angels.
Princess Martha-Louise's boyfriend, who also has a strong TikTok presence, is a bisexual Shaman who works with A-listers including Gwyneth Paltrow. He describes Leah as his 'bonus daughter'.
Perhaps seeing a reflection with her own relationship, Princes Martha-Louise, 50, is far from a stiff-upper lip royal and even appears on TikTok dances
Clearly close to her mother, another clip shows the pair driving together where Leah says: 'My mum is so pretty'.
In one clip Princess Martha-Louise, 50, who is the eldest daughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, joins her in a TikTok dance.
In another, Leah quotes Gilmore Girls and shares a series of cute pictures with her mother.
'My ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from who I received my name and my life blood, Martha Louise,' she mimes before quoting the speech.
Leah often shares pretty make-up looks to her Instagram page - this one she says is inspired by Emma Chamberlain
Leah (pictured) also revealed she spent Christmas in LA with her mother's boyfriend, Shaman Durek
'My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to be whoever I wanted to be.
'She filled our house with love and fun and books and music, unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith.
'As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her,' she audio says.
Outside of snaps with her family, Leah has also posted dozens of outfit, make-up and fashion tutorials.
Martha-Louise has appeared in TikTok videos with her daughter and her boyfriend Shaman Durek (pictured)

Last year, she won 'beauty influencer of the year' at the Vixen Influencer Awards - which highlights the best influencers in Norway.
She sites Emma Chamberlain among her inspirations, and made her red-carpet debut last year at a Kylie Cosmetics event in Oslo.
'I had this kind of palette make-up stuff for little kids and wanted to put tiaras on my head. And then I've been interested in beauty and fashion all my life,' she previously Newsbeezer.
A Vlog on her YouTube page shows her playing pool, playing Cards Against Humanity and having brunch at the celeb hotspot, the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Martha Louise, is the only daughter and elder child of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, is dating Shaman Durek — a Los Angeles-based 'spiritual guide and gifted healer' whose celebrity following includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Nina Dobrev and James Van Der Beek. It is thought the pair haven't seen each other since Christmas.

Will cost of living crisis see car maintenance neglected? Ombudsman raises concern motorists will cancel annual services to save money
- Motor Ombudsman poll of 2k drivers found 32% will spend less on motoring
- Of those without pre-paid servicing plans for their cars, a worrying number intend to push back or skip having their vehicle checked over by a mechanic
- This is not only a safety risk but can also devalue a car for when it's time to sell
- Halfords also surveyed drivers and found that many won't be able to afford essential vehicle maintenance in light of rising living costs from April
With the nation gripped by a cost of living crisis, the Motor Ombudsman is concerned that drivers will delay or cancel their vehicle's service this year in a bid to save money - which not only could devalue their motors but increases safety risks.
Almost one in three of drivers in a new poll said they intend to spend less on motoring this year due to squeezed budgets.
Almost a quarter of drivers without a pre-paid servicing plan for their car will delay their motor's annual service this year, while a third said they will miss it entirely in a bid to reduce their outgoings, the survey of 2,000 motorists revealed.
Concerns about cost of living crisis on car maintenance: A survey of drivers found that a worrying number are planning to delay or cancel their vehicle's annual service this year to tighten their already stretched budgets
Many Britons are feeling the pinch thanks to a combination of spiralling costs all hitting them at the same time.
The new surging energy price cap has sent bills rocketing for those who are not on a fix, while rises in council tax and Vehicle Excise Duty also from the beginning of April will be an additional burden on many.
These hikes come on top of the record-high cost of petrol and diesel at the pumps, with March seeing the biggest monthly increase in fuel prices in history.
Add to the mix this week's National Insurance spike on top of already surging inflation that's making goods on shelves even more expensive and its plan to see that people are feeling a strain on finances not felt for decades.
With individuals and families understandably looking to trim spending, the Motor Ombudsman is worried that cars will become an easy target for cutting back.
The organisation says that - as well as an annual MOT for cars aged three years and over - a yearly service is important to keep vehicles both roadworthy and safe for occupants and fellow road users.
However, it also has a big impact on a car's value, with missing service intervals usually considered a sign of poor owner maintenance, which could limit how much you sell the vehicle for when it comes time to replace it.
The study revealed that female car owners (57%), people living in Wales (66%) and those aged 45 to 54 years (64%) are most likely to delay or skip this year's car service
Bill Fennell, Chief Ombudsman, said that, with the current cost of living conditions being endured in Britain at the moment it is 'inevitable that something has to give'.
'Our study has shown that servicing and vehicle maintenance is being seen as less of a priority,' he explained.
'This is of course concerning.
'By not following the vehicle manufacturer’s servicing schedule, and not taking their car to a garage to be looked at by a professional in the event of any mechanical problems, is essentially compromising the safety and value of the vehicle.'
The study revealed that female car owners (57 per cent), people living in Wales (66 per cent) and those aged 45 to 54 years (64 per cent) are most likely to delay or skip this year's car service.
When the 2,000 car owners were also asked how else they were planning to reduce their motoring spending this year - which applied to 68 per cent of the panel - there were five key areas they intend to focus on.
Three in five said they plan to use their vehicle less, 47 per cent will walk or cycle more often, almost a quarter (24 per cent) will make better use of public transport, around 32 per cent will drive more efficiently when they are behind the wheel and a quarter will shop around for best deals for insurance.
Halfords also raised concerns that many drivers will not be able to afford servicing and repairs due to the higher cost of living, with some having to rely on credit cards to pay for essential vehicle maintenance
And the Motor Ombudsman isn't alone in raising concerns about Britons trying to reduce their motoring costs by taking potentially dangerous shortcuts with their car maintenance.
Halfords has also conducted a survey of 2,000 drivers this month and found that nearly half (45 per cent) are worried about the cost of essential car maintenance- and nearly a third said they will struggle to afford car maintenance as a result of rising living costs.
When the company asked these drivers if they had ever missed their car's MOT test, more than one in 10 (12 per cent) who admitted they had said it was because they could not afford it.
Many also admitted they had to rely on credit cards to pay for essential car maintenance, especially almost two in five who said they are often caught off-guard by unforeseen essential maintenance costs, such as replacement tyres, wiper blades and brake pads.
The poll found that the average money spent on car maintenance over the last 12 months was £274.40, with some spending £1,000 or more (3 per cent).
Halfords chief customer officer, Karen Bellairs, said: 'The cost of motoring in the UK is rising faster than inflation and worryingly our research has found many drivers are struggling to cope with the bills causing some to miss booking an MOT test.'

NATO eyes in the sky, keeping Europe out of Russia’s war
UEDEM, Germany (AP) — As Russia’s military buildup near Ukraine accelerated early this year, military planners at NATO began preparing to dispatch scores of fighter jets and surveillance aircraft into the skies near Russia and Ukraine. It was a warning to Moscow not to make the mistake of targeting any member country.
Even in the weeks preceding the war, politicians and analysts were divided over whether President Vladimir Putin would really order Russian troops to invade. From a military point of view, though, the forces arrayed around Ukraine appeared designed to do just that.
It became a matter of urgency to put more eyes in the sky and to tightly link NATO aircraft, warships, ground-based missile systems and radar installations to protect the alliance’s eastern flank.
“We are monitoring very closely,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said this week. “Information, best possible situation awareness, is of course extremely critical in such a dangerous situation as we see in Ukraine now.”
In the lead-up to the Feb. 24 invasion, the alliance’s Combined Air Operations Center in Uedem, western Germany, shifted gear. A few dozen military personnel now simultaneously manage up to 30 aircraft in skies from the northern tip of Norway down to Slovakia.
From an underground bunker in quiet farmland, patrolling aircraft are diverted to monitor suspicious Russian planes. Jets on 15-minute standby are routinely “Alpha Scrambled” from around Europe to intercept unidentified aircraft near NATO airspace.
More than 100 aircraft can be working aloft on any given day, mixed in among roughly 30,000 civilian flights made daily through European skies.
Six Boeing E-3A surveillance planes from NATO’s ageing fleet of early warning and control aircraft help create an “air picture” to share with member nations. These “eyes in the sky” do not fly into Ukraine or Russia, but can see up to 400 kilometers (250 miles) across borders.
Fighter jets also provide information about what is going on inside part of two countries at war. These “assets” are sometimes sent from as far away as western France, refueled mid-air, and can patrol for about an hour in the border area before they must return.
The 30-nation military alliance is wary of being drawn into a wider war with Russia, so borders and airspace are scrupulously respected.
“There is always the fog of war, and we don’t want to have NATO assets close by because even unintentionally you might have some losses,” said Major General Harold Van Pee, commander of the NATO facility in Uedem.
The most sensitive zones for unidentified planes are the Kola Peninsula — at the high north borders of Russia and Norway — the Gulf of Finland approaching the Russian city of St. Petersburg, and the skies around Russia’s exclave of Kaliningrad, sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland.
From their computer screens, NATO personnel can also track cruise missiles, like those that Russia used last month to pound a military training base in western Ukraine near NATO member Poland, killing 35 people.
But shadowing them with aircraft is a high-risk endeavor, particularly at night, in poor weather or when the missiles hug the ground, flying so low that electrical pylons and cables become a danger. “We have to be convinced that there is a credible threat” to go after one, Van Pee said.
A less obvious challenge to NATO airspace is rogue drones. Military officers said that Russia is using powerful electromagnetic devices for communication jamming purposes which can disrupt remotely controlled flights.
Last month, a military drone drifted uncontrolled out of Ukraine through the airspace of three members – Romania, Hungary and Croatia – before crashing in the Croatian capital. Some parked cars were damaged but no one was hurt.
The drone weighed just over 6 tons. Both Russia and Ukraine denied launching it. Military officers and NATO officials refuse to comment on the incident until an investigation is completed.
“Even if you fly alongside one of those drones, are you going to do something about it? You have to ask yourself, because if you shoot it down then for sure you’re going to do damage on the ground. If you let it fly, hopefully it will crash in the sea. I mean, you don’t know,” Van Pee said.
Whether it’s a rogue drone or a missile threat, political and legal experts are supposed to be involved in any decision to shoot something down. Despite the war in its backyard, NATO is operating under strict peacetime rules and is determined to keep it that way.
“Before you start using force there has to be an imminent threat to either NATO forces or NATO populations. That’s a judgement call, and that’s always hard to make,” Van Pee said.

What to do if you test positive for COVID at this point in the pandemic
COVID-19 has been around long enough that we are not even counting the waves anymore, but the virus and the tools we have to fight it keep evolving.
And the guidance seems to change just enough with each surge that it can leave even the most diligent among us feeling lost.
Now, more than two years into the pandemic, some parts of the U.S. are seeing an uptick in cases driven by the BA.2 subvariant.
Dr. Celine Gounder is a senior fellow and editor-at-large for public health at Kaiser Health News and a former adviser to the Biden administration. She runs through the latest thinking on everything from at-home tests to isolation times, contact tracing and why we may be repeating the same mistakes we made with other diseases.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Interview highlights
On whether the rapid at-home tests work for BA.2
The rapid antigen tests do work to pick up omicron. This pattern that you see is really similar across all the variants, which is that there is usually a day or two delay between when you might test positive on a PCR versus when you might test positive on one of these at-home rapid antigen tests. But they do work to pick up an infection.
On the expiration dates listed on rapid at-home tests
I organize my tests in my drawer actually by expiration date, so I'm using the oldest ones first. So that's just a small tip there. But the tests probably are good for much longer than they're labeled for. And that's really a reflection of the fact that early on when they were first developed, we weren't quite sure how long they would be good for. And they probably do last probably, you know, in the order of months longer than what they're labeled to be good for.
On when and how to seek treatment if you test positive
To access treatment, you can go to covid.gov and look up where in your area you can access Paxlovid and monoclonal antibodies, what facilities currently stock them, and how you can go about getting that. If you already have a primary care physician, they can also help you navigate that.
Right now, we have a pretty short supply of treatment. And so we're really trying to target that supply to people in whom it would really have the most benefit. People who are young, healthy, who don't have significant symptoms are probably not going to end up in the hospital regardless. And so that's not the best use of that short supply that we currently have.
On isolation times if you test positive
What we're seeing is that people very often test positive for longer than five days. You have maybe about half of people who are negative by five days, but then the other half are positive out to even 12-14 days. And so I think the way to address that is repeat a test. If you're still positive, really try to stay at home. And if you absolutely cannot stay at home, that's a situation where you really should be masking when you're around other people so that you're not infecting others.
On the current state of contact tracing
Contact tracing efforts have largely been dismantled at this stage. And it's become even harder to do contact tracing now, especially if you're trying to use that as a way to prevent onward infection. And that's because the incubation period for COVID has gotten shorter and shorter with each variant. And so with omicron, the incubation period is only two to three days. And so that makes it really hard to try to track down the person that you might have infected and take measures to prevent on onward infection.
I do think if you have been around people, and may have exposed them, I think it's just polite and good form to inform them so that they know they may want to get tested themselves.
On federal funding for COVID measures drying up and whether this is a normal progression
I guess it depends on what you call normal. Is it how we have addressed other diseases and fallen short? Absolutely, it is repeating those same mistakes. We've run out of money to reimburse providers for offering testing to uninsured patients. But it's not just testing. We've also run out of money to reimburse providers for treating uninsured patients, for vaccinating uninsured patients. And it's really unfortunate that we refuse to learn from previous experiences.
I'm not going to tell Congress what to do here. But I think if our goal is to adapt and live with COVID in a way that this is not impacting our social lives or economic lives, our work, then it will mean doing things differently, doing things better, and I hope we will.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Ca. (KTLA) — Nearly a dozen people were stuck on a theme park ride at Universal Studios Hollywood Thursday afternoon after the ride encountered a mechanical issue.
Los Angeles County firefighters responded to the theme park in Universal City around 3:45 p.m. after 11 people became stuck on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter section of the park.
First responders were able to slowly get riders off the theme park ride, which takes riders along an indoor track that Universal says features “sudden tilting, turning and jarring action,” and “abrupt multi-directional motion that turns you on your back.”
The exact type of mechanical issue is unclear at this time. There have not yet been any reports of injuries related to the stalled ride.

Nancy Anne Buxton Vanderburg died peacefully in her home on September 22, 2021 surrounded by loved ones at the age of 87. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert "Vance" Vanderburg, married 67 years. Mother of five, wife, student, teacher, and volunteer, Nancy lived a life of service. She was born in 1934 in Little Rock, Arkansas, to parents, Frederick and Elizabeth Buxton, graduated Independence High School in 1952 and was married shortly thereafter to Vance. Over the next twenty years they welcomed five children. While keeping busy raising a family, Nancy also had goals to pursue outside the family home. She became quite active in the Presbyterian Church during the mid-'50s, eventually being ordained an elder in 1961 while pregnant with her 4th child. Her family had the unique experience of living two years during the mid-1960s in Nigeria, where she participated in an ecumenical mission outreach to Nigerians flooding the area for work in the oil pipeline construction industry. She earned a Master of Arts in Sociology in 1978 from University of Tulsa, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Nancy and family became charter members of the experimental "Church of the Advent" PCUSA, serving the downtown area of Tulsa. This "church without walls" established what is now known today as Tulsa Street School as well as the first free clinic. Nancy served as the Executive Director for the YWCA, was a social worker for the Head Start program and program administrator for several state agencies. The family moved to Eureka Springs in 1978, where Nancy opened and ran Ozark Outdoors. Nancy and Vance returned to Tulsa in 1984, where they owned and operated Lee's Bicycles. It was here that Nancy helped bring this well-known, 70-year-old business, into the modern age by installing its first POS system. In 1986, they bought a geodesic dome on Beaver Lake, Arkansas, where they lived for early retirement before returning to Tulsa in 2013. Nancy and Vance looked forward to the occasional road trips, often finding their way to Ghost Ranch, NM. It was here that Nancy found time to fellowship with her Presbyterian family and recharge her spiritual batteries. Her love of the desert Southwest was reflected in her personal style. Nancy was also a great cook and avid reader.
Nancy is survived by her children: Marshall Vanderburg and wife, Janine with grandchildren, Jeanne and Jacqueline; Tracy Diane; Jennifer Campbell and husband, Jim with grandchildren, Peter, Andrew and Allison and great grandson, Logan; Adam Vanderburg and wife, Elaine Tinsley with grandchildren, Moriah and Nicole; Lydia Vanderburg and husband, Scott Bartholomew; and brother, Mike and wife, Debbie Buxton. Preceded in death by parents and younger sister, Mary Beth Buxton. Memorial Gifts may be made to Austin Seminary College, College Hill Presbyterian Church Tulsa, OK or to the Greater Tulsa Mental Health Association. Memorial services will be scheduled before the end of this year.

Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to 'time jump' human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the aging clock for cells without losing their specialized function. Work by researchers in the Institute's Epigenetics research programme has been able to partly restore the function of older cells, as well as rejuvenating the molecular measures of biological age. The research is published today in the journal eLife and whilst at an early stage of exploration, it could revolutionize regenerative medicine.
What is regenerative medicine?
As we age, our cells' ability to function declines and the genome accumulates marks of ageing. Regenerative biology aims to repair or replace cells including old ones. One of the most important tools in regenerative biology is our ability to create 'induced' stem cells. The process is a result of several steps, each erasing some of the marks that make cells specialised. In theory, these stem cells have the potential to become any cell type, but scientists aren't yet able to reliably recreate the conditions to re-differentiate stem cells into all cell types.
Turning back time
The new method, based on the Nobel Prize winning technique scientists use to make stem cells, overcomes the problem of entirely erasing cell identity by halting reprogramming part of the way through the process. This allowed researchers to find the precise balance between reprogramming cells, making them biologically younger, while still being able to regain their specialized cell function.
In 2007, Shinya Yamanaka was the first scientist to turn normal cells, which have a specific function, into stem cells which have the special ability to develop into any cell type. The full process of stem cell reprogramming takes around 50 days using four key molecules called the Yamanaka factors. The new method, called 'maturation phase transient reprogramming', exposes cells to Yamanaka factors for just 13 days. At this point, age-related changes are removed and the cells have temporarily lost their identity. The partly reprogrammed cells were given time to grow under normal conditions, to observe whether their specific skin cell function returned. Genome analysis showed that cells had regained markers characteristic of skin cells (fibroblasts), and this was confirmed by observing collagen production in the reprogrammed cells.
Age isn't just a number
To show that the cells had been rejuvenated, the researchers looked for changes in the hallmarks of aging. As explained by Dr Diljeet Gill, a postdoc in Wolf Reik's lab at the Institute who conducted the work as a PhD student: "Our understanding of aging on a molecular level has progressed over the last decade, giving rise to techniques that allow researchers to measure age-related biological changes in human cells. We were able to apply this to our experiment to determine the extent of reprogramming our new method achieved."
Researchers looked at multiple measures of cellular age. The first is the epigenetic clock, where chemical tags present throughout the genome indicate age. The second is the transcriptome, all the gene readouts produced by the cell. By these two measures, the reprogrammed cells matched the profile of cells that were 30 years younger compared to reference data sets.
The potential applications of this technique are dependent on the cells not only appearing younger, but functioning like young cells too. Fibroblasts produce collagen, a molecule found in bones, skin tendons and ligaments, helping provide structure to tissues and heal wounds. The rejuvenated fibroblasts produced more collagen proteins compared to control cells that did not undergo the reprogramming process. Fibroblasts also move into areas that need repairing. Researchers tested the partially rejuvenated cells by creating an artificial cut in a layer of cells in a dish. They found that their treated fibroblasts moved into the gap faster than older cells. This is a promising sign that one day this research could eventually be used to create cells that are better at healing wounds.
In the future, this research may also open up other therapeutic possibilities; the researchers observed that their method also had an effect on other genes linked to age-related diseases and symptoms. The APBA2 gene, associated with Alzheimer's disease, and the MAF gene with a role in the development of cataracts, both showed changes towards youthful levels of transcription.
The mechanism behind the successful transient reprogramming is not yet fully understood, and is the next piece of the puzzle to explore. The researchers speculate that key areas of the genome involved in shaping cell identity might escape the reprogramming process.
Our results represent a big step forward in our understanding of cell reprogramming. We have proved that cells can be rejuvenated without losing their function and that rejuvenation looks to restore some function to old cells. The fact that we also saw a reverse of aging indicators in genes associated with diseases is particularly promising for the future of this work."
Dr Diljeet Gill
Professor Wolf Reik, a group leader in the Epigenetics research programme who has recently moved to lead the Altos Labs Cambridge Institute, said: "This work has very exciting implications. Eventually, we may be able to identify genes that rejuvenate without reprogramming, and specifically target those to reduce the effects of aging. This approach holds promise for valuable discoveries that could open up an amazing therapeutic horizon."

LONDON (AP) — A major British airport warned passengers on Friday to expect the delays plaguing travel to continue for months, as the U.K. aviation regulator told the country’s air industry to shape up after weeks of canceled flights and long airport queues.
The head of Manchester Airport in northwest England said passengers could face waits of up to 90 minutes to get through security “over the next few months.”
Travelers in Britain have suffered days of delays during the current Easter school holiday break, with British Airways and easyJet cancelling hundreds of flights because of coronavirus-related staff absences, and long lines building at airport check-in, security and baggage points.
Manchester, Heathrow and Birmingham airports have all experienced problems, stemming from a mix of staff off sick with COVID-19 and from trouble replacing workers laid off during the pandemic, when international travel ground to a halt.
The managing director of Manchester Airport resigned this week. Charlie Cornish, chief executive of owner Manchester Airports Group, acknowledged that the airport does not have “the number of staff we need to provide the level of service that our passengers deserve.”
“Despite our efforts since last autumn, the tight labour market around the airport has meant we have just not been able to hire people quickly enough to establish a full-strength team,” he said.
He said departing passengers should arrive three hours before their flights to be sure of having enough time.
Civil Aviation Authority Chief Executive Richard Moriarty told airlines they must set “deliverable” schedules and “have the necessary level” of staff.
In a letter, he said the delays and cancelations were “not just distressing for affected consumers but have the potential to impact confidence levels across the industry.”
EasyJet said earlier this week that the number of crew illnesses was more than double normal levels because of high COVID-19 infection rates across Europe.
British Airways said many of its cancellations include flights that were cut when it decided last month to shorten its schedule until the end of May to boost reliability amid rising COVID-19 cases.
Infections across the U.K. have soared again with the rapid spread of the more transmissible omicron BA.2 variant, reaching record levels last week when official figures showed about 1 in 13 people had the virus.
The Easter school holidays are the first time many families in Britain have booked trips abroad after two years of pandemic restrictions. All remaining virus measures, including mandatory self-isolation for those infected and testing requirements for international travel, were scrapped in February and March.

Airport delays will hit aviation recovery, UK regulator warns
By Kate Holton
LONDON, April 8 (Reuters) - Cancelled flights and long queues at British airports caused by a lack of staff due to the coronavirus pandemic will hit confidence and hold back recovery unless the problems are resolved quickly, the aviation regulator said on Friday.
British Airways and easyJet have cancelled dozens of flights in recent days and airports have been overwhelmed as a shortage of staff and high COVID-19 sickness levels have coincided with a surge in demand for travel in the run-up to Easter holidays.
The head of the Civil Aviation Authority told airlines and airports he expected the two sides to work together on staffing to fill the gaps, saying airlines should only advertise schedules they could deliver with current staffing levels. Cancellations should be announced well ahead of time.
"Instances of late notice cancellations and excessive delays at airports are not just distressing for affected consumers but have the potential to impact confidence levels across the industry," Richard Moriarty said in a letter.
Airports across Europe have warned of a struggle to recruit and train staff but the problem is particularly acute in Britain where soaring cases of COVID have kept staff at home and many workers deserted the industry for more reliable jobs.
One of the worst affected airports is Manchester, serving customers in northern England, where queues have extended out of the terminal.
It said on Friday that with little notice that travel restrictions would lift earlier this year, it was now struggling to recruit staff to meet the "stunning" recovery. It warned it would take months to fix the problem.
"We are doing this in one of the most challenging employment markets we have seen, with competition from many other businesses that find themselves in the same position," said Charlie Cornish, head of Manchester Airport Holdings.
British travellers and truckers have also faced huge delays at the port of Dover in southern England, after ferry operator P&O fired hundreds of staff in favour of cheaper agency staff and then cancelled its sailings.

It’s a nasty and dangerous morning commute across the North Country and Upper Valley. It is rainy, foggy, and windy with poor travel conditions overall. The valleys have ponded/puddled up roadways featuring reduced visibility and breezy south winds of 10-20 mph. The higher elevations are experiencing much of the same, but with patchy black ice and strong south winds of 20-30+ mph. Make sure you are enabling yourself enough time to arrive to school/work/other destinations safely. Turn on the low beams and keep the windshield wipers moving.
The afternoon will offer up leftover, very isolated showers all as our latest system wraps up and moves off to the northeast. Partly to mostly cloudy skies will stick around for the remainder of the day with just a little bit more clearing taking place after sunset. Highs will manage the upper 40s to middle 50s. South winds will relax to around 5-15 mph by late in the day.
The weekend forecast will remain active with another low pressure system rocking and rolling through Saturday morning into Saturday night. Isolated rain showers are likely Saturday morning with a more widespread, scattered shower event for the second half of the day. Highs will achieve the upper 40s.
Sunday will see a rinse and repeat of Saturday’s temperatures with rain showers in the valleys and a light mix for the mountains. Rainfall totals between today and Sunday morning will average another 0.5″ to 1.25″. That’s on top of the 1″ to 2″ that has already fallen, so be sure to continue to drive safe on those wet/slick/ponded up roadways straight through the upcoming weekend.

A quarter of Brits have digestive issues – but have simply learned to live with it them rather than getting them checked out
A poll of 2,000 adults found 18 per cent don’t consider the frequency of their bowel movements to be ‘normal’.
And nearly a quarter (24 per cent) aren’t sure what to look out for when it comes to checking the health of their number-twos.
In fact, more than one in 10 (13 per cent) haven’t had a digestive symptom treated or diagnosed because they don’t feel they understand enough about their digestive system and how it works.
While 17 per cent fear doctors won’t take them seriously if they try and make an appointment to discuss their digestive symptoms.
Opening conversations
The research was commissioned by Fybogel prior to the launch of its ‘touring toilet Cubicle Confessional’ which gives members of the public the opportunity to talk to a gut heath expert, in a bid to help them talk more confidently about their bowel habits.
The Cubicle Confessional will visit three UK cities with some of the highest rates for hospital admission for constipation - London, Northampton and Liverpool, with expertise provided by charity Guts UK.
Marguerite de Durfort, from Fybogel, said: “We know, for so many, the embarrassment that comes with ‘the poo chat’ can limit our understanding of our digestive system and stop us receiving the treatment we might need.
“We want to help people in the UK from suffering in silence and work towards breaking the ‘poo taboo’.
“With 55 per cent of the public feeling most comfortable talking about their bowel movements with a doctor, we hope people across our three locations can utilise our cubicle confessional to gain professional advice for their gut health symptoms - leading them to feel more open to discussing these issues and more comfortable about working towards finding a solution.”
The study also found three in 10 (29 per cent) of those who have suffered with digestive symptoms had increased stress levels related to their discomfort, while 26 per cent had trouble sleeping.
Another quarter (26 per cent) lacked energy in their day-to-day lives and 19 per cent felt their workplace productivity was affected.
But 58 per cent went as far as to say their digestive health has a direct impact on their mental health.
And 76 per cent feel there is a ‘poo taboo’ and people are generally embarrassed to talk about their bowel movements.
Nearly half (46 per cent) feel the poo-taboo has evolved because it’s an unattractive subject to discuss, while 36 per cent were taught it’s ‘rude’ to talk about it.
Lifestyle choices
Another 25 per cent worry that sharing details about their bowel habits may also reveal things about their lifestyle choices.
Just over four in 10 (41 per cent) have turned to exercise to try and improve their digestive health, and 44 per cent have upped their fluid intake – with lifestyle changes being the first recommended line of treatment for constipation sufferers.
And 44 per cent have struggled with constipation, while 39 per cent have suffered from trapped wind.
Fybogel’s spokesperson, Marguerite De Durfort, added: “If we want people to take anything away from our research and touring Cubicle Confessional, it is that digestive symptoms are common.
"And people should not shy away from talking to those they feel most comfortable with – to family, friends, a medical professional, etc.
"Fybogel wants the nation to chat the poo taboo away.”

Night-time illumination proposed in Antalya
ANTALYA
Tourism professionals in the southern province of Antalya have suggested “lighting” to make museums and ruins more attractive for tourists who don’t want to go out of the hotel in 40-degree heat in summer.
They stated that the number of visitors to museums and ruins would increase if these places were opened after being illuminated in the evening.
Turkey’s tourism center Antalya hosts millions of local and foreign tourists every year. Vacationers in the city enjoy the sea, sand and sun in five-star hotels. The city also draws attention, with many historical ruins that hosted various civilizations in the past.
Those who prefer Antalya, which is home to some 30 ancient cities such as the Lycian, Pamphylian and Pisidian regions, for cultural tourism face difficulties traveling in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees in summer. Tourists, guides and tour operators who serve them keep the visits short in hot weather.
Tourism professionals recently drew attention to this problem and made this proposal in order to mobilize cultural tourism and increase income.
City Council Tourism Working Group President Recep Yavuz discussed the issue with tourism professionals during the Antalya City Council.
Stating that the proposal, which will pave the way for the historical structures to be illuminated and visited in the evenings, was warmly welcomed in the tourism sector, Yavuz said: “Antalya is a city rich in ruins. Since the holiday in Antalya is all-inclusive, holidaymakers do not want to go out. When the temperature is high, it is almost impossible to visit the ruins. Illuminating some of the ruins and opening them to visitors at night will relieve both tour operators and holidaymakers.”
Yavuz stated that the lighting system should be done in a way that will not harm the ancient cities and added that the ancient city of Ephesus and the Egyptian pyramids are illuminated and that there are also many such examples in Europe.
Stating that the illuminated ruins will also attract families with children, Yavuz said: “The costs to visit the ancient city of Ephesus during day and night are different. The areas - a statue or a building - that are exhibited in the ruins have a story. These stories become much more effective as a fairytale with lighting at night. People don’t listen to these stories at 40 degrees.”
Antalya Guides Chamber President Mustafa Yalçın Yalçınkaya also explained that guides had a hard time working in open-air ruins in the summer heat.
Stating that Aspendos and Perge tours are “torture” in summer, Yalçınkaya said, “Open-air tours turn into torture in summer. Guides and guests do not want to stay under the sun for a long time. Guides tell the stories either in the shade or in the bus as much as possible. Due to the hot weather, some holidaymakers do not want to stay there for a long time. I think the lighting system at night will be positive.” He also added that museums and historical sites should also host concerts.
The biggest hesitation about the lighting system is whether the system will damage historical structures. Stating that the work to be done with advanced technology will not harm these places, the experts cited the Egyptian Abu Simbel Temple, the Giza Pyramid, the Vatican, the Louvre Museum and the Ancient City of Ephesus as examples of illuminated museums and ruins that attract attention with the increasing number of visitors, especially at night.

Fleetwood manager Stephen Crainey appears to have no fresh selection concerns ahead of Saturday’s Sky Bet League One encounter with Accrington.
On-loan Preston midfielder Josh Harrop is pushing for a first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury on his debut in January.
The former Manchester United man was an unused substitute during last Saturday’s 3-1 win at Crewe and Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Lincoln.
Anthony Pilkington and Ellis Harrison each came off the bench in those games and will hope for further action following recent spells on the sidelines.
Accrington remain without Ross Sykes and Harry Pell.
Defender Sykes completes a two-match ban following his dismissal in the 4-4 draw with Cheltenham last weekend, while midfielder Pell is sidelined due to a foot issue.
Stanley are seeking a first win in six games following a 3-0 defeat at table-topping Wigan in midweek.
Midfielders Joe Pritchard and Tommy Leigh and forward Korede Adedoyin are among those pushing for starts.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s government says it is expelling eight Russian diplomats over their country's invasion of Ukraine.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hikariko Ono announced the decision Friday. Deputy Foreign Minister Takeo Mori has notified Russian Ambassador Mikhail Galuzin, she said.
European countries have expelled dozens of Russian diplomats as their relationships have plunged over Moscow's war against Ukraine.
Europe and the United States have also stepped up sanctions against Russia, including restrictions on coal imports, following revelations of harrowing atrocities against civilians in Ukrainian cities.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is expected to announce additional sanctions against Russia in line with an agreement by the Group of Seven advanced industrialized nations.
The measures contained in a G-7 leaders’ statement include a phasing out or banning of imports of Russian coal and oil. Japanese trade minister Koichi Hagiuda said Japan plans to gradually reduce its energy reliance on Russia.
Japan has already imposed a series of sanctions, including freezing assets of top Russian officials such as President Vladimir Putin, restricting exports to Russia including sensitive goods transferrable to military use, and removing key banks from an international messaging system.
Japan is trying to take a greater role in the international effort against Russia's invasion of Ukraine because of Tokyo's concern about its impact on East Asia, where China has taken increasingly assertive military actions.
Japan has already faced reprisals from Russia. Moscow recently announced the suspension of talks on a peace treaty with Tokyo that include negotiations over Russian-held islands which the Soviet Union seized from Japan at the end of World War II.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy faces plenty of threats: War in Ukraine, high grocery bills, spiking gasoline prices, splintered supply chains, the lingering pandemic and rising interest rates that slow growth.
The Biden White House is betting the U.S. economy is strong enough to withstand these threats, but there are growing fears of a coming economic slump among voters and some Wall Street analysts.
The next few months will test whether President Joe Biden built a durable recovery full of jobs with last year’s $1.9 trillion relief package, or an economy overfed by government aid that could tip into a downturn. On the line for Democrats ahead of the midterm elections is whether voters see firsthand in their lives that inflation can be tamed and the economy can manage to run hot without overheating.
Brian Deese, director of the White House National Economic Council, told reporters this week that the 3.6% unemployment rate and last year’s robust growth puts the U.S. in a safe place compared to the rest of the world.
“The core question is whether the strength of the US economy is now an asset or a liability,” Deese said. “What we have done over the course of the last 15 months is driven a uniquely strong economic recovery in the United States, which positions us uniquely well to deal with the challenges ahead.”
But others see an economy that could struggle to preserve growth while reducing inflation now running at a 40-year high of 7.9%. The Federal Reserve has signaled a series of benchmark interest rate increases and other policies to slow inflation this year, yet Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has destabilized the global energy and food markets in ways that could push prices upward.
Deutsche Bank on Tuesday became the first major financial institution to forecast a U.S. recession. And Harvard University economist Larry Summers — a Democrat and former treasury secretary — noted that the U.S. economy has gone into recession within two years each time inflation eclipsed 4% and unemployment was below 5% as they are now.
Joe LaVorgna, who worked in the Trump White House and is now chief economist for the Americas at Natixis, said he expects economic growth this year to be just below 1%, a potentially dangerous level.
While household balance sheets are solid and unemployment low, wages are not keeping up with inflation, which could dampen consumer spending. And supply chain disruptions and higher energy costs will be additional drags.
“The reason why you have a recession when the economy is growing 1% is it’s like a weakened immune system,” LaVorgna said. “Any negative event, even a small one, is going to throw you off course and stall speed becomes a recession.”
Still, because of the strong labor market and household savings, LaVorgna also anticipates that any downturn would be mild.
So far, consumer spending has been healthy even if the public views the economy as anemic.
Nearly 7 in 10 Americans believe the economy is in poor shape, according to a poll last month by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Yet Bank of America noted that total debit and credit card spending in March was up 11% from a year ago, and its analysts concluded households are “strong enough to weather the storm provided it doesn’t persist too long.”
There are also signs that consumers are adjusting as higher oil prices have led average gasoline costs to hit $4.15 a gallon, according to AAA. Gas costs have fallen in the past week, but they’re still up 45% from a year ago.
One consequence of higher prices is that Americans began to use less oil and gas. The U.S. consumed a daily average of 21.9 million barrels during the first full week of February; the figure fell 9% to 19.9 million barrels during the first week of April, according to the Energy Information Administration. That decline is larger than the normal seasonal drop-off in 2019, the last full year before the pandemic. Gasoline usage has dropped more than 6% during the same period.
A recent Goldman Sachs research note stood out to Biden administration officials because it suggested that job growth and pay increases would cushion the economy from higher commodity prices. Because of the strong labor market, the economy is better protected from commodity shocks than in the recessions of 1974, 1980 and 1990, as well as the 2008 financial crisis.
The White House has watched with some frustration as the public conversation about the economy has been reduced to inflation, believing that largely ignores the strength of the labor market and the idea that families are able to manage the higher prices because of the coronavirus relief provided earlier.
The administration believes that Fed rate increases as well as a drop in deficit spending this year will help to lower inflation. But the key message that the White House wants to deliver in response to public fears about the economy is that Biden understands their concerns.
The challenge, however, is that many Americans are so focused on inflation that they believe the job market — and wider economy — is weaker than it actually is. That means the White House has to make a nuanced case in which it recognizes the economic weaknesses but repeats the low unemployment rate again, again and again so that it lodges in the public mind.
The doubts about the economy — despite the solid jobs numbers — are “a signal that we need to continue to make that case clearly and unambiguously,” said Deese.

Covid precaution dose for 18+ age group at pvt vaccination centres from April 10
All those above the age of 18 who have completed nine months after the administration of the second dose will be eligible for the precaution dose, the Union Health Ministry said
Precaution dose of COVID-19 vaccines will be available to all aged above 18 years at private vaccination centres from April 10, the Union Health Ministry announced on Friday.
All those above the age of 18 who have completed nine months after the administration of the second dose will be eligible for the precaution dose, it said.
"It has been decided that the precaution dose of Covid vaccines will be made available to the 18-plus population group at private vaccination centres. This facility would be available at all private vaccination centres," the ministry said.
So far, about 96 per cent of all 15-plus population in the country have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, while about 83 per cent have received both the doses, it stated.
More than 2.4 crore precaution doses have also been administered to healthcare workers, frontline workers and those aged above 60 years. Besides, 45 per cent of beneficiaries in the 12-14 years age group have also received the first dose, the ministry said.
The ongoing free vaccination programme through government vaccination centres for the first and the second dose to the eligible population as well as the precaution dose to healthcare workers, frontline workers and those above 60 would continue and be accelerated, the ministry stated.

Devon and Cornwall special constable guilty of gross misconduct
- Published
A special constable who delayed a packet in the postal system has been found guilty of gross misconduct.
He resigned before a misconduct hearing at which he did not appear on 30 March, said Devon and Cornwall Police.
The officer would have been dismissed instantly if he had still been serving, said Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer.
The unnamed officer also got a criminal caution for "intentionally delaying a postal packet" while working as a postal operator.
His behaviour was "so serious to have amounted to gross misconduct", said the force in a statement.
Det Supt Paul Kessell, the force's head of professional standards, said after the hearing: "The public should be able to trust that all of our officers, whether volunteers or regulars, act with the highest levels of honesty and integrity.
"The behaviour of the officer fell well below the standards expected within policing.
"Conduct of this kind, whether on or off duty, will not be tolerated within Devon and Cornwall Police and therefore this was the right and proper outcome."

Sabina Nessa: Man jailed for murdering London teacher
- Published
A man who drove to London in order to attack a stranger has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 36 years for the murder of primary school teacher Sabina Nessa.
Koci Selamaj, 36, killed Ms Nessa in a park in Kidbrooke, south-east London in September 2021.
CCTV footage captured him striking the 28-year-old over the head until she was unconscious, before carrying her away.
He then strangled her, removed some of her clothes and tried to hide her body.
Selamaj, a garage worker from Eastbourne in East Sussex, travelled to London on 17 September intending to assault a random woman after he was spurned by his estranged wife, the Old Bailey heard.
Ms Nessa, who taught a year one class at Rushey Green Primary School in Catford, was found nearly 24 hours later near a community centre in the park.
Days later, Selamaj, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, was arrested in the seaside town and pleaded guilty to murder in February.
On Friday, he refused to come to the Old Bailey and was sentenced in his absence.
Mr Justice Sweeney described the "savage" attack as sexually motivated. He said Ms Nessa was the "wholly blameless victim of an absolutely appalling murder which was entirely the fault of the defendant".
It is believed Ms Nessa had only gone through the park as she was running late and this was the quickest route to the bar where she had been due to meet a friend.
Grainy footage showed a hooded man passing her, looking back at her, and running toward her before hitting her over the head 34 times in quick succession.
He used such force that parts of the weapon - a metal traffic triangle - shattered and fell to the ground, the Met Police said.
Ten minutes after dragging Ms Nessa away, Selamaj reappeared on camera and began picking up pieces of the murder weapon from the floor. He also used tissues to clean the bench where part of the attack had taken place.
On his way back to the south coast, Selamaj dumped the warning triangle in the River Teise in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Police said he appeared to be "calm and collected" on his arrest.
On being cautioned through a translator, the Albanian national said: "What will happen if I open up now and say everything?"
Lewis Power QC said his client Selamaj had provided no explanation for why he killed Ms Nessa, adding: "He simply accepts that he did it."
Mr Justice Sweeney said Ms Nessa's death added to "the sense of insecurity" particularly felt by woman walking through the city at night.
"She had every right, as her family said, to be walking through the park all glammed up and out to enjoy herself after a long week at work. The defendant robbed her and them of her life," he said.
The judge said it was "cowardly" of the defendant to refuse to attend his sentencing but said he had no power to force him.
'You are an animal'
Following the sentencing hearing, Det Ch Insp Neil John described Selamaj as an "evil coward".
He said: "It is highly unusual for someone to go from zero to a crime of this magnitude. We are pleased Selamaj will spend the majority of his life in prison."
Addressing the teacher's absent killer on Thursday, Ms Nessa's parents Abdur Rouf and Azibun Nessa said in a statement: "You had no right to take her away from us in such a cruel way.
"The moment the police officer came to our house and told her she was found dead our world shattered into pieces.
"How could you do such a thing to an innocent girl walking by, minding her own business?
"You are not a human being, you are an animal."

Homes for Ukraine: Visas for 570 Ukrainians to come to Scotland
- Published
Visas have been issued for 570 Ukrainians to travel to Scotland under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
The number is more than double last week's total of 210, Home Office figures show.
The latest statistics include 40 refugees whose applications have been approved under the Scottish government's super sponsor scheme.
It removes the need for individuals to be matched prior to being given permission to travel.
Across the UK, the Home Office said 40,900 visas for Ukrainians have now been issued and 12,000 people have arrived from Ukraine.
In an interview with BBC News, Home Secretary Priti Patel has apologised "with frustration" for delays to the visa system that have prevented thousands of Ukrainian refugees from coming to the UK.
Of the visas issued, 28,500 were under the Ukraine Family Scheme and 12,500 were under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, which allows people to sponsor Ukrainian refugees.
The data, up to 7 April, also reveals that 10,800 people have now arrived in the UK under the family scheme and 1,200 under the sponsorship scheme.

ROME (AP) — Prices for food commodities like grains and vegetable oils reached their highest levels ever last month because of Russia's war in Ukraine and the “massive supply disruptions” it is causing, the United Nations said Friday.
The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said its Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in international prices for a basket of commodities, averaged 159.3 points last month, up 12.6% from February. As it is, the February index was the highest level since its inception in 1990.
FAO said the war in Ukraine was largely responsible for the 17.1% rise in grains, including wheat and others like oats, barley and corn. Russia and Ukraine together account for around 30% and 20% of global wheat and corn exports, respectively.
While predictable given February's steep rise, “this is really remarkable,” said Josef Schmidhuber, deputy director of FAO's markets and trade division. “Clearly, these very high prices for food require urgent action.”
The biggest price increases were for vegetable oils: the vegetable oil price index rose 23.2%, driven by higher quotations for sunflower seed oil. Ukraine is the world's leading exporter of sunflower oil.
“There is, of course, a massive supply disruption, and that massive supply disruption from the Black Sea region has fueled prices for vegetable oil," Schmidhuber told reporters in Geneva.
More “well behaved prices” were the ingredients for rice pudding, he said: rice, dairy and sugar.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama lawmakers approved sweeping legislation Thursday to outlaw gender-affirming medications for transgender kids and advanced a separate measure prohibiting early classroom instruction on sexual and gender identity, a bill critics have dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”
The Alabama House of Representatives voted 66-28 for legislation to make it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, for a doctor to prescribe puberty blockers or hormones or perform surgery to aid in the gender transition of people under age 19. The bill now goes to Republican Gov. Kay Ivey for her signature as Alabama becomes the latest red state to promote legislation and policies aimed at trans youth. Ivey has not indicated whether she will sign it.
The topic of transgender and LGBTQ identity has become one of the GOP’s “wedge” issues aimed at securing votes because they are popular with the party’s base.
Rep. Neil Rafferty, the only openly gay member of the Alabama Legislature, appeared to struggle to hold back his anger and maintain composure as lawmakers headed to the vote.
“This is wrong,” Rafferty said. “Y’all sit there and campaign on family being the foundation of our nation … but what this bill is doing is totally undermining that. It’s totally undermining family rights, health rights and access to health care.”
Republican Rep. Wes Allen of Troy, sponsor of the House version of the bill, argued during debate Thursday morning that transgender youth are not old enough to make decisions about gender-affirming medication.
“Their brains are not developed to make the decisions long term about what these medications and surgeries do to their body,” Allen said.
Rep. Chris England, who serves as chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party, said the measure targets already vulnerable children and essentially tells them they are not welcome in Alabama.
“You’re saying this is about children. It’s not. What it is about is scoring political points and using those children as collateral damage,” England said.
The bill would also require school counselors, nurses and others to tell parents if a child discloses they believe they are transgender.
A spokeswoman for Ivey did not immediately reply to a text message asking if the governor will sign the measure.
“I want the governor to know that she doesn’t have to sign this, she can veto it,” Jeff Walker, whose 15-year-old daughter, Harleigh, is transgender, said Thursday afternoon. “All you are doing is hurting Alabama families with these bills.”
Arkansas approved a similar law in 2021, but it was put on hold by the courts. Advocacy groups in Alabama have vowed to quickly challenge the measure if Ivey signs it into law.
In a written statement, Chase Strangio, deputy director for Trans Justice with the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project, called the Alabama measure “the most deadly, sweeping, and hostile law targeting transgender people in the country.”
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday that the U.S. Department of Justice has warned states such laws and policies may violate the Constitution and federal law.
“Today’s vote in Alabama will only serve to harm kids,” she said.
The Alabama Senate advanced separate legislation Thursday related to public school bathrooms and discussions of gender and sexual identity in early grades.
Senators voted 26-5 to approve legislation mandating that K-12 students can only use multiperson bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with the gender on their original birth certificate, rather than their current gender identity.
Republicans in the Senate also added language similar to a law in Florida that critics called the “Don’t Say Gay”measure.
The Alabama language would “prohibit classroom instruction or discussion on sexual orientation or gender identity” for students in kindergarten through the fifth grade.
The Alabama proposal goes further than Florida’s law, which includes grades K-3.

Global atmospheric levels of the potent but short-lived greenhouse gas methane increased a record amount last year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday, worrying scientists because of the large role methane has in climate change.
The preliminary airborne level of methane jumped 17 parts per billion, hitting 1895.7 parts per billion last year. It’s the second year in a row that methane rose at a record rate with 2020 going up 15.3 ppb over 2019, according to NOAA. Methane levels are now way more than double pre-industrial levels of 720 parts per billion, said Lindsay Lan, an atmospheric scientist at NOAA and the University of Colorado.
Methane is a big contributor to climate change, leading to about a 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit (0.5 degrees Celsius) increase in temperature since the 19th century, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Carbon dioxide has caused about 50% more warming than methane.
“This trend of accelerating increase in methane is extremely disturbing,” said Cornell University methane researcher Robert Howarth.
Methane is about 25 times more powerful at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. But it only lasts nine years in the air instead of thousands of years like carbon dioxide, Lan said. Because it doesn’t last in the air long, many nations last year agreed to target methane for quick emission cuts as low hanging fruit in the global efforts to limit future warming to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius (2.7 or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times. The world has already warmed 1.1 to 1.2 degrees Celsius (about 2 to 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit).
“To limit warming to well-below 2C this century, we need to cut our methane emissions dramatically, and today we are clearly moving in the wrong direction,” climate scientist Zeke Hausfather of Stripe and Berkeley Earth said in an email. “Cutting methane has strong immediate climate benefits, as it is the only greenhouse gas for which emission reductions can quickly cool the climate (versus slowing or stopping the rate of warming).”
NOAA has been tracking methane levels in the air since 1983.
Lan said early signs point more to natural causes for the methane jump, because of La Nina, the natural and temporary cooling of parts of the Pacific that change weather worldwide, but it’s still early. La Nina tends to make it rain more in some tropical regions and the two years in a row of record increases during La Nina points to methane escaping from wetlands, she said.
Methane is also a natural gas and an increasingly used energy source. Much methane comes out of livestock and human-generated agriculture, as well as from landfills. Scientists also fear future release of trapped methane under the ocean and in frozen Arctic land, but there’s no indication that’s happening on a large scale.
The key question is whether this increasing trend could add to climate change problems or is a pandemic-related blip due to the decrease in methane-destroying nitrous oxides from less car and industrial pollution, said Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson.
“It seems to be something else instead of COVID,” Lan said. She figures high levels in 2020 and then even higher levels in 2021, when lockdowns were eased, point away from a pandemic effect.
Both fossil fuels and agriculture are key in methane increases, Howarth said. But he said, “my research strongly points toward fossil fuels as being the largest cause of the increase since 2008, with increase emissions from shale gas production from fracking in the U.S. being a major part of that.”
In a study last year, Lan looked at the chemical isotopes to isolate where steady increases in methane emissions since 2006 may be coming from. The chemical signature pointed away from fossil fuels as the bigger guilty party and more toward either natural wetland emissions or agriculture, she said.
NOAA also said carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere last year increased 2.66 parts per million over 2020, one of the higher increases in history but not a record. The annual average for 2021 for carbon dioxide was 414.7 parts per million. Pre-industrial is about 280 parts per million. NOAA said carbon dioxide are now the highest since about 4.3 millions year when the sea level was about 75 feet (23 meters) higher and the average temperature was about 7 degrees Fahrenheit (3.9 degrees Celsius) warmer.
“Our data show that global emissions continue to move in the wrong direction at a rapid pace,” said NOAA chief Rick Spinrad said in a statement.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Virginia police officer who pleaded guilty to storming the U.S. Capitol with another off-duty officer testified on Thursday that he had hoped the mob could overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election that day.
Former Rocky Mount police officer Jacob Fracker, a key witness for federal prosecutors at the trial of former colleague Thomas Robertson, said he initially believed that he was merely trespassing when he entered the Capitol building.
However, Fracker ultimately pleaded guilty to a felony charge that he conspired with Robertson to obstruct Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s electoral victory on Jan. 6, 2021. Fracker agreed to cooperate with federal authorities in their case against Robertson, whose jury trial started Tuesday.
Under cross-examination by one of Robertson’s lawyers, Fracker said he didn’t have a “verbal agreement” with anybody to obstruct the joint session of Congress. Fracker said he believed everybody in the mob “pretty much had the same goal” and didn’t need for it to be “said out loud.”
Fracker said he and Robertson both believed the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from former President Donald Trump. One of Robertson’s attorneys, Mark Rollins, asked Fracker if he believes he did anything worse than trespassing on Jan. 6.
“Sitting here today, yes. At the time, no,” Fracker replied.
Robertson confirmed with U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper that he won’t be testifying at his trial.
Prosecutors rested their case on Thursday afternoon. Jurors are expected to hear attorneys’ closing arguments on Friday before they begin deliberating.
During the trial’s opening statements, defense attorney Camille Wagner told jurors that Robertson only went into the Capitol because he wanted to retrieve Fracker, who entered the Capitol a few minutes before Robertson.
Wagner said Robertson, whom she called “T.J.,” knew that he had entered restricted areas of the Capitol where he wasn’t supposed to be on Jan. 6. But he isn’t accused of engaging in any violence or property destruction, she noted.
Fracker was scheduled to be tried alongside Robertson before he pleaded guilty last month. He described Robertson as his mentor and a father figure.
“I absolutely hate this,” Fracker testified on Wednesday. “I’ve always been on the other side of things, the good guys’ side so to speak.”
The town fired Robertson and Fracker after the riot. Prosecutors say Robertson paid Fracker more than $30,000 after they were arrested. Robertson first offered to give Fracker money on the day that they surrendered to authorities, according to a court filing accompanying Fracker’s guilty plea.
Fracker said Robertson also agreed to cover his legal fees, but he doesn’t believe Robertson was trying to “buy” his testimony with the $30,000 payment.
“He said it would cover a year’s salary for me,” Fracker said.
After the riot, Fracker bragged to friends on social media that he had urinated in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bathroom. That was a lie that he made “for cool points,” Fracker said.
Robertson used a large wooden stick to impede police officers who were trying to hold off the mob, according to prosecutors. Police body camera video captured his interaction with police.
When a prosecutor asked Fracker why he didn’t do more to help police officers who were trying to hold back the mob, he said he thought they should have been “on our side” and marching with the rioters.
“And you didn’t see T.J. help them, either?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower asked.
“Correct,” Fracker said.
Robertson is charged with six counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building while using a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. Five of the counts relate to his actions on Jan. 6. The sixth stems from his alleged post-riot destruction of cellphones belonging to him and Fracker.
Robertson has been jailed since Cooper ruled in July that he violated the terms of his pretrial release by possessing firearms.
More than 770 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot. Over 240 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors.
Robertson is the second Capitol riot defendant to have a jury trial. The first ended last month with a jury convicting a Texas man, Guy Reffitt, of all charges.
Two other Capitol riot defendants elected to have their cases tried without a jury and decided by the same federal judge. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden acquitted a New Mexico man, Matthew Martin, of all four misdemeanor counts with which he was charged. Last month, McFadden convicted New Mexico elected official Couy Griffin of illegally entering restricted Capitol grounds but acquitted him of engaging in disorderly conduct.

'Women are being raped and murdered and now we're worried about a lechy look?': Fierce debate breaks out on GMB as historian criticises TfL poster that brands STARING a crime
- Last month Transport for London launched a campaign to reduce harassment
- One of its posters warned people that intrusive staring will not be tolerated
- GMB hosted a debate on the show asking whether staring should be a crime
- The segment prompted a fierce debate on Twitter, with opinions widely split
A fierce debate has broken out online following a debate on GMB today, over whether staring on public transport should be a crime.
The programme, hosted today by Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, featured a segment looking at a campaign launched last month by TfL (Transport for London), which aims to protect women and girls from 'common examples' of harassment, including upskirting, cat calling and exposing among others.
As part of the initiative, posters have been installed on trains, saying: 'Intrusive staring of a sexual nature is sexual harassment and is not tolerated.'
Debating the issue on GMB were historian and journalist Dr Zoe Strimpel, who felt that staring should not be considered a crime, and comedian Kate Smurthwaite, who argued that staring should not be played down.
Historian and journalist Dr Zoe Strimpel (pictured) appeared on GMB today to debate whether staring should be a crime. She argued that there are not enough resources to tackle it legally
Comedian Kate Smurthwaite (pictured) argued that staring should not be underplayed, and when sexual in nature, should be considered harassment
The poster (pictured) which has appeared on the London underground since TfL launched its campaign against sexual harassment last month
Kate said: 'What we're talking about is when someone is deliberately staring at you, possibly heavy breathing, touching their leg at the same time, licking their lips, all of that stuff.'
She added: 'None of those things individually are a terrible problem.
'But when somebody is doing it persistently, in a way that is meant to make people feel uncomfortable, then it is harassment, and there is the potential for something to be done about it.'
But Dr Strimple disagreed, saying: 'There are a lot of things that are extremely uncomfortable. But when I saw this poster I thought, "Seriously, this is what TfL is now weighing in on?".
GMB sparked a lively debate today (pictured) after discussing the TfL campaign, and looking at arguments for and against the idea that staring should be considered a crime
'Women are raped...women are groped, they are being physically assaulted, they are being murdered.
'They are having basic issues with violence that are barely taken care of, and now suddenly it's about staring?'
She added that 'obviously, a nasty, lechy stare is unpleasant', but said that there are limited resources when it comes to dealing with these issues.
The conversation prompted a lively debate on Twitter, with many users wading into the row to share their views on the topic.
Many people on Twitter felt that staring should not become a crime, with one saying it would be 'going too far'
Many Twitter users felt campaign went too far, with one writing: 'Staring a crime? This s*** is going too far now #GMB.'
Another added: 'Dear God.....what the hell....!!! Basic flirting techniques now being banned....! Can you still stare at tinder? Lol #gmb.'
And a third wrote: ' You'll get wrong for breathing next #gmb.'
While many of the commentators thought the debate around staring was extreme, others agreed that it can feel uncomfortable, and should be considered harassment
However, others felt the campaign was positive, and highlights how uncomfortable aggressive leering on public transport can be.
One wrote: 'Yes staring is unnerving and creepy. A few seconds and a smile yes but a constant stare can be intimidating #GMB.'
Another commented: 'Sitting on the tube years ago, lad staring at me would not take eyes off me. It made me feel uncomfortable, I was alerted it wasn’t normal. I get off the tube (it was really busy on the tube) and he tried to attack me, luckily someone stopped him and I ran to safety.'
A further Twitter user added: 'Staring ? What they are describing on is what EVERY FEMALE experiences mostly on a daily basis #GMB #staring.'

Moment a Chinese 'Covid prevention guard' chases down a corgi and beats it to death with a shovel because its owner was infected - as Shanghai residents run out of FOOD in doomed Zero Covid lockdown
- Video shows a health worker, who is wearing a full PPE suit, chasing the small dog down a street in the residential area in the Pudong district of Shanghai
- Health worker hits the dog three times with a large shovel, killing the pet dog
- Shanghai announced 21,000 new local cases on Friday, as locals complained of harsh lockdown conditions
The horrifying moment that a health worker in Shanghai chased down a pet corgi and beat it to death with a shovel because its owner was infected with Covid.
Video shows a Covid prevention worker, who is wearing a full PPE suit, chasing the small dog down a street in the residential area in the Pudong district of the city.
The corgi is seen trying to hide behind a car but the health worker lunges forward and hits the dog three times with a large shovel. The pet is then seen lying motionless on the street.
Footage of the attack has gone viral on Weibo and sparked outrage amongst locals, who are growing frustrated of the harsh lockdown conditions that are leading to shortages of food and basic necessities.
Photos show the corgi running after a bus that is said to be taking its owner to an isolation centre for quarantine after they tested positive for Covid. The dog was then beaten to death by the health worker, with its body later placed in a yellow bag.
The corgi's owner had released the dog onto the streets after they could not find anyone to care for his pet whilst he was in quarantine, reported China News Weekly.
The dog's owner wrote on a community Weibo chat: 'We hoped to let him outside and be like a stray dog. We didn't want him to starve to death.
'As long as he could live it would be ok. We never expected that he would be beaten to death the moment we had left.'

The dog's owner has claimed the neighbourhood committee refused to help care for the the corgi, whilst the committee said it was concerned the pet could have been infected too.
Several cases of Covid spreading from humans to pets including dogs and cats have been recorded but there has not been any confirmed cases of animals then passing the virus back to humans, despite anecdotal reports.
'At that time, the workers did not consider (the matter) very comprehensively. We will communicate with the owner and offer compensation later,' the committee said, according to China News Weekly.
It comes as three local official in Shanghai have today been sacked over a slack response to the Covid outbreak in China's largest city.
An official notice on Friday gave no details of the allegations against the three officials, but said their duties in epidemic prevention and control had allowed the virus to spread, leading to a 'serious impact' on efforts to control the outbreak.
The notice identified those fired as Cai Yongqiang, Xu Jianjun and Huang Wei, all officials at the district, neighbourhood or township level.
Dozens of local officials across China have been sacked or otherwise punished for their Covid response, though no one at the central government has been held to account.
Shanghai announced more than 21,000 new local cases on Friday, of which only 824 had symptoms, as locals complained of crowded and unsanitary quarantine centres.
Total cases in the outbreak that began last month in Shanghai have soared past the 100,000 mark, making it one of China's most serious since the virus was first detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019.
Shanghai has placed all of its 26 million residents under lockdown and implemented mass testing, while requiring anyone with a positive result to be held in an isolation centre, some of which have been newly created from converted gymnasiums and exhibition halls.
Some residents have received government food packages containing meat and vegetables. Many, however, are struggling to obtain rice and other basics, with online vendors sold out and delivery services unable to keep up with demand.
With no word on when the lockdown will be lifted, anxiety is rising, along with frustration over the city's apparent lack of preparation for an extended lockdown.

Travel in and out of Shanghai has largely come to a standstill and usually bustling city streets are deserted apart from police, health workers and residents reporting for testing.
China has repeatedly enforced lengthy mass lockdowns over the two-year course of the epidemic. Shanghai, however, had largely escaped the most onerous measures under China's 'zero-Covid' strategy that aims to isolate every infected person.
Home to many of China's wealthiest, best educated and most cosmopolitan citizens, the city was first promised a two-phase lockdown starting March 28 and lasting no more than eight days total. With little notice given, residents made a run on supermarkets, quickly leaving shelves bare.
Those measures have since been extended, leaving many families that had planned for only a limited time in quarantine without supplies. Authorities say they will determine future steps based on testing results, but have given no specific details.
Meanwhile, workers are setting up a makeshift hospital for Covid-19 patients at the National Exhibition and Concention Centre in Shanghai with about 40,000 beds to cope with the surge in Covid cases.
Stories of crowded and unsanitary central quarantine centres and fears of family separation have driven calls for home quarantine in Shanghai, and for China to review its 'dynamic clearance' approach.
Although the government has not acceded to these requests, it has started allowing some close contacts to isolate at home and on Wednesday eased its policy of separating infected children from their parents. It is also transferring some patients to neighbouring provinces.
However, food supply remains a concern with residents, due to a shortage of couriers.
Authorities said they would allow more delivery personnel to leave locked-down areas and on Friday local media reported that platforms belonging to Alibaba and online grocer Dingdong Maicai had recalled roughly 3,500 workers altogether.

On Friday afternoon, an invitation to join an unofficial meeting to discuss Shanghai residents' opinions about the Covid situation begin circulating in WeChat groups - a development interpreted by some as an indication of mounting frustration with the official response.
The anonymous organisers of the event, which was scheduled for Saturday, said they would try to submit the meeting's minutes to the Shanghai government.
Over 100,000 people had registered for the meeting by Friday lunch time although this had abruptly fallen to four people hours later, with no clear reason given.
Shanghai has not indicated when it may lift its lockdown.
Late on Thursday, Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said on its Weibo account that action taken in Shanghai had to be 'thunderous' to cut off the chain of transmission.
In theory, he said, if multiple rounds of PCR testing were conducted in mega-cities with populations as large as 27 million within 2-3 days, they could reach zero cases 'on the community level' within 10 days to two weeks.
'As long as these measures are implemented well, our country's severe coronavirus epidemic situation will soon improve,' Wu said.
Of Shanghai's cases, just one is suffering severe symptoms and is under treatment, a health official said on Friday.
If Shanghai's lockdown continues throughout April the city will suffer a 6 per cent loss in GDP, amounting to a 2 per cent GDP loss for China as a whole, Iris Pang, the ING Chief Economist for the Greater China bank, said.
The bank has revised its China second quarter growth forecast to 4 per cent year-on-year from 5 per cent year-on-year.
Other Chinese cities have also tightened curbs - even in places with no recent infections - including movement restrictions, mass testing and new quarantine centres.
Cities that jumped into action this week included Zhengzhou, in central Henan province, which on Thursday said it would test all 12.6 million residents after finding a few asymptomatic cases in recent days.
Beijing has strengthened regular screening for employees in the city's key sectors, requiring all staff at elderly care agencies, schools and institutions handling imported goods to take tests at least once a week.

In Shizong county in southwest China's Yunnan province, shops were shut, transport suspended and residents barred from leaving their towns or villages after an asymptomatic person returned home from Shanghai and infected a household member.
On Friday the northwestern city of Xian announced it would not allow its citizens to return from or visit areas where the virus is still highly prevalent without making arrangements with pandemic control departments first.
Nomura this week estimated that 23 Chinese cities have implemented either full or partial lockdowns. The cities collectively are home to an estimated 193 million people and contribute 22 per cent of China's GDP. These include Changchun, a major manufacturing hub that has been locked down for 28 days.
Ernan Cui, an analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics who studied COVID policies announced by China's 100 largest cities, said most were choosing to keep restrictions in place even after case numbers returned to zero.

'The extremely widespread Covid restrictions beyond Shanghai, and the risk-averse attitude of both central and local government officials, suggest that the economic impact of the various lockdowns will not ease in a matter of days or even weeks,' she said in a note.
City officials have apologised for mishandling the lockdown and promised to improve food supplies.
The Communist Party leadership in Beijing is working to squelch complaints, especially online, in hopes of preventing the lockdown and accompanying dissatisfaction from becoming a political issue ahead of a key party congress later this year.
Officials say Shanghai, home to the world's busiest port and China's main stock exchange, has enough food. But a deputy mayor, Chen Tong, acknowledged Thursday that getting it the 'last 100 meters' to households is a challenge.
The government says it is trying to reduce the impact of its tactics, but authorities are still enforcing curbs that also block access to the industrial cities of Shenyang, Changchun and Jilin with millions of residents in the northeast.

Which controller for PC gaming is best?
The traditional way of playing games on a computer is to use a keyboard and mouse combination. That might work for most games, but titles like fighting games or racing benefit more from having a controller.
Driving accuracy is greatly improved, and the button combinations are easier to press on a controller. The best device is an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 if you have a Windows-based computer, as it easily connects to your PC.
What to know before you buy a controller for PC gaming
Compatibility with your PC
Several gaming controllers are available, but you must check that it is compatible with your setup as most will only work with Windows 10. If you have an older operating system or use Linux, you could struggle to get it connected. It will also be beneficial to make sure that you have, at the very least, a USB 2.0 port available.
Connection method used
The easiest connection method for a gaming device is to use a USB-powered controller. Then, you only have to plug the USB into your PC, and the controller will be registered. If you don’t want to deal with cables, you can opt for a wireless connection. But, unless your PC has a built-in Bluetooth receiver, you’ll need an adapter for the controller to work.
Button layout
There are generally two standard button layouts in gaming: the Xbox and PlayStation controller configuration. Consider which format feels more comfortable to you, and look for a controller that uses that layout. For example, Xbox controllers have an off-set thumbstick, while a PlayStation controller has different icons for the face buttons.
What to look for in a quality controller for PC gaming
Customizable button configuration
Most controllers have a standard button configuration (a button is permanently assigned to a specific action), but some good-quality controllers will let you change that. In addition, you can change what certain buttons do if the computer game doesn’t allow for remapping through button mapping software.
Haptic feedback
Console gaming is known for shaking or vibrating the controller while playing. These vibrating effects are known as haptic feedback. You can get the same rumble effect when playing on a PC if you get a good-quality controller that supports haptic feedback. The PlayStation equivalent is called haptic rumble, which works on the same principle by spinning small motors inside the device.
Resistance in the triggers
The two triggers on either side of the controller are some of the most used buttons in any game. To provide you with a more immersive experience, a good-quality controller will slightly resist the triggers for more accurate control. This is great for driving games where controlled acceleration is necessary or shooting games where you want to squeeze the trigger gently.
How much you can expect to spend on a controller for PC gaming
The average price of a PC gaming controller will largely depend on the manufacturer and the device’s capabilities. A solid entry-level controller can retail for $40-$70, whereas a professional model can retail for $200-$500.
Controller for PC gaming FAQ
Are there accessories for PC gaming controllers?
A. Yes, many manufacturers allow third-party accessories to be used with their gaming controllers. This can range from grips on the thumbsticks to different color faceplates and covers. They allow you to customize your controller to fit your desired aesthetic.
How long do wireless controller batteries last?
A. How long they last will depend on the controller and the size of the battery, but a reasonable estimate would be between four to six hours on a single charge.
What’s the best controller for PC gaming to buy?

Football rumours: Kalvin Phillips eyed as Man Utd target ‘hungry players’
By PA Staff published
What the papers say
The Manchester Evening News reports that Manchester United are working on a deal to sign Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips. The paper writes that the 26-year-old appeals to the club’s interim manager Ralf Rangnick who is targeting “hungry players seeking a progressive career move”.
In more Old Trafford gossip, the Daily Mirror claims the club have told unhappy players who want to leave this summer they can only go if they are out of contract. It comes as stars Paul Pogba, 29, Jesse Lingard, 29, Edinson Cavani, 35, and Juan Mata, 33, are all set to have their deals expire in June and are expected to be on their way.
With such a talent exodus on the cards, the Red Devils have reportedly sent scouts to watch Villarreal’s former Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma. The Daily Mail reports that the 25-year-old Holland international is also a target for Liverpool.
The same paper claims that Everton boss Frank Lampard has not lost support from the club’s owner despite defeat against Burnley. Farhad Moshiri and the Goodison Park club’s board are all backing the manager, even as the Toffees edge precariously closer to the relegation zone.

For the past two years of my stay in this newly rented space, it was only the last seven months that I heard the land ladies crashing each other, even more than stones in an inferno.
I have a zero-tolerance for bumping into people’s arguments. So, as my landlady saw me (I had gone to buy groceries from their shop when I chanced upon them in the hot pursuit), she wanted to narrate the issue to me, but I pretended to be on a phone call. That was a good pretense: I didn’t want to have anything to do with what they were doing to themselves.
Sisterly fight, I have come to know that it isn’t demonic at all. I used to fight my senior brother. And I was beaten well-well. As humans, as we are, there are times disagreement would break. And by that petty grudges are often settled.
But theirs was an eyesore, I hated what I saw. They were hurling foul words at each other. And that of my landlady wasn’t generous — her choice of words could be described as virulent, repugnant and denigrating to womanhood. I wept. My soul convulsed. I just don’t see the need for a woman to insult her sister with scores of an infertility crisis. And even had the audacity to shame her bloated stomach. That she (her sister) use it (bloated stomach) to deceive people, as though she’s pregnant when she’s actually suffering from fibroid. I wept. My soul convulsed.
Had it not been those dirty phrases, I wouldn’t have thought my landlady’s sister wasn’t really pregnant. This woman (my landlady’s sister) is very affable, empathetic, loving, and humanitarian. She has this cheerful face that brightens than the moon; everyone speaks about it, unlike her sister’s (my landlady) known nerdy facial expression. She doesn’t stay with us too, she only comes and goes. But her sister resides in the neighborhood, and have a shop just in front of their house where we have rented.
I was raised by a barren woman, my late aunt. She is a woman I can bet with my kidneys that she was our mother and father. My mother was then in a faraway country due to work. My father was rather a in proximity; only a road was between his place of residence and my maternal family house.
This woman (my late aunt) gave us the world. Her teachings and motherly and fatherly love were indescribably beautiful. I called her my mom, even after knowing that my biological mother had traveled, as a kid. She shared all her secrets with me. She’s the only woman I could hold, kiss on the cheek, and say I love her. And would deliberately worry her just by saying I want to get married, during the days she knew very well that we were struggling to keep heads above water.
Since her death, I have always held an opinion that she’s my biological mother until I heard the saying of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) that anybody raised by an aunt, it’s as though raised by the biological mother. They both have the same status in Islam.
So now the issue was how to break the news to the barren woman, my landlady’s sister, with all these facts at my disposal. I know barren women, they are altruistic towards children, not because they don’t have theirs; they just love humanity. And I know also that when the news of childbirth reaches them they might reflect about their infertility.
Humanely speaking, I wouldn’t want to put her under that cold shade. Even though I had a good news to disclose, it has intuitively become a bombshell. The question: ‘how do I say to her (my landlady’s sister) that God has blessed us with twins?’ She knew my wife’s stomach had taken a football shape for some months now.
The day that we were discharged from the hospital, we came home in a rather disguised way. We did everything (packing to make another journey as soon as possible) perfectly. She saw us but I would want to believe that she could be thinking we were now going to the hospital, mirroring labor, when actually a successful delivery, blessedly been had already.
I returned home late at night after the journey, so it was the subsequent days that she got to be seeing me. She would be surprise, I guess, for it has past three days and she hadn’t seen my wife. My facial expression doesn’t show that all his going on well or bad, I was keeping a frugal tempo, with the good news. Therefore, anytime she saw me she’d be looking at me with a more cheerful face. I know she was waiting for the news. And I was also pampering the good news; I just don’t want to put her to wild reflections.
My late aunt, at her days of old, there were times she would be very, very aggrieved and shed thunderous tears, thinking about why God made her “Kene” (infertile). This is why I was careful with relating the news to my landlady’s sister.
I would recall when my mother came back from her journey, my step mother, also a barren woman, whom I had simultaneously lived with for decades now. We do have our fights when possible but the respect and whatnot always soared. Only two days that she had not seen me at her shop, she went sobbing aloud.
Well, that was so unusual of me. I’d always be at her shop and be having chats with her at night. At last, when she eventually saw me, she sorrowfully said, “is it because your mom has come so you don’t know me again?” I didn’t say much; I ideally didn’t have much to say either. To keep her hopes high, I came up with a story that I traveled with my hockey team and we just came back tonight. It was a lie, though.
My stepmother had had me all this while, but why would did start feeling emptiness when she heard the news of my mother’s homecoming? It’s not easy for women without children of their own. Now you’ve seen the reason I wasn’t prepared to put my landlady’s sister into that emotional distraught, a good bad jealousy?
So growing up I hated and, still hate anyone who mocks an infertile woman with infertility. If one does that, no matter our relationship, I’d show one my other self. Even if going exasperating and fiendish, I’d not care. Thank God, those in my bracket are level-headed.
Last week Wednesday, I was at my landlady sister’s shop to buy five kilos bag of rice. I greeted her as normal. I realized she was peeking at me with beams of smile. That was when I thought of telling her, but my prayers were that she’d not feel hurt like my stepmom or aunt.
“ and madam, please, my wife has put to birth o.” “Oh! Wow!” She started grinning and smiling. She went inside to bring the bag of rice I was buying but forgot herself and came back with empty hands. “What did she get?” now asking about the gender. Perhaps she was expecting a girl, as most women prefer.
“Girls,” I said. “You mean…twins. Twins?” “Yes, two girls.” This was when she lost control of herself, “Oh…wow! Wow! Lord is Great! Good news. What a joyous news. You’ve made my day. Lord.”
She did repeat these joyous phrases and threw herself up and down, in merriment, so much that I started feeling uneasy. She was extremely ecstatic that she opened her arms — to give me a warm hug because of the news I had brought. When she was coming for the hug, she noticed I was falling behind. I think that was when she came back to herself.
And sadly, I realized my landlady’s sister (still at the shop) was feeling a bit dull. Truly, I didn’t know how I saw my way back into the house, and to my room. I left but I kept asking myself: “though I had brought good news it’s looking more of bad news. And thus tonight, I pray she’d not be questioning God, saying: ‘Lord, why not me?’”
This incident has put to some serious reflections off late. I know very well that it’s God who gives and takes. And it’s Him who has also said that “with prayers, one’s destiny could be changed.”
In hindsight, this blessed month of Ramadan, relying on God’s promise that a fasting person’s prayers wouldn’t be rejected I have given all infertile women a slot in my prayer schedule. That God would grant them and us, all that we so desire.

Which telescoping ladder is best?
Telescoping ladders allow you to reach high-up locations without having to deal with the hassles of storing and transporting a traditional model that can be awkward to carry and take up a lot of space.
Safety should be of the utmost concern, so you’ll want to choose a telescoping ladder that not only supports the load you will be placing on it, but which also has a pinch-free retraction method and high-traction, nonslip feet pads. The Ohuhu 12.5-Foot Telescoping Ladder is one such model.
What to know before you buy a telescoping ladder
Telescoping ladders vs. extension ladders
There is sometimes confusion among buyers of what exactly qualifies as an extension ladder. This is partially the result of some manufacturers labeling their extension ladders as telescoping even though they don’t actually telescope. Essentially, any model that doesn’t have rungs that collapse down on top of one another should not be considered a telescoping ladder.
The main benefit of telescoping ladders is how compact they are when fully collapsed. This makes them exceptionally easy to transport and store. Extension ladders simply can’t compete in this area. That said, some users may feel that extension ladders are more stable.
Ladder certifications and ratings
For the average person buying a telescoping ladder for their home, the only rating they really need to worry about is the duty rating or load capacity. On most models, this will be clearly stated somewhere in the product description in pounds. However, some models might only state their type, which are as follows:
- Type IAA ladders – 375-pound load capacity
- Type IA ladders – 300-pound load capacity
- Type I ladders- 250-pound load capacity
- Type II ladders – 225-pound load capacity
- Type III ladders – 200-pound load capacity.
If you are purchasing a ladder for commercial use, there are a couple of additional certifications and ratings you need to be aware of. If the ladder is manufactured in the European Union, it will carry an EN131 rating. For commercial use, only purchase a telescoping ladder that carries a EN131 Professional rating. It should also be OSHA compliant.
Retraction
Most telescoping ladders can either retract rung by rung or the entire thing at once. For rung by rung retraction you’ll use small buttons or levers underneath each specific rung. Generally, this has to be done from the top down. To retract the whole ladder at once, you’ll use small buttons or levers on or near the very bottom rung. Be careful to keep your fingers out from between the rungs as you do this to avoid injury. Some models utilize air resistance to ensure they retract slowly, which also helps to avoid injury.
Features to look for in a quality telescoping ladder
Height
Every ladder has a maximum height it can be extended to. Consider the height of the various locations you need to reach before choosing a model to ensure it fits your needs. Don’t forget that it is advised not to stand on the uppermost rungs so make sure to factor this into your purchase decision.
Weight capacity
For safety reasons, it is vital that you never exceed the manufacturer’s maximum load rating of a ladder. The amount of weight you’ll be placing on a ladder includes not only the user’s weight but also that of any tools that you may carry up with you or attach to the upper rungs of your ladder as you work.
Nonslip end caps
Nonslip end caps should be nonnegotiable on any ladder you purchase, no matter the type. These increase user safety by minimizing the chances of the ladder slipping while you are standing on it. Ideally, these should be both textured and made from a high-traction material.
Rung lock indicator
To be used safely, the rungs of a telescoping ladder need to be locked into place. The majority of models have a self-locking design so you don’t have to worry about manually doing anything. However, you should still double-check before standing on the ladder. Models that feature a visible rung lock indicator make this step easy.
How much you can expect to spend on a telescoping ladder
Most telescoping ladders cost between $100-$250.
Telescoping ladder FAQ
Do telescoping ladders need to be fully extended for use?
A. No. You can extend a telescoping ladder to whatever height is most convenient for the job at hand as long as it is at or below its maximum extension.
Do telescoping ladders require any maintenance?
A. Telescoping ladders don’t require any specific maintenance other than keeping them clean and dry. It is also advised not to store them in a place where they will constantly be exposed to the elements.

Ombudsman Anthony Mifsud has dismissed "public exchanges" about his office which he says have shown "a lack of appreciation if not outright ignorance" of the added value of the mediatory work carried out by his office.
In a foreword accompanying case notes for 2021, Mifsud, who is at the end of his tenure, said it was untrue that the office was not "embracing the principles of good governance".
In January, the ombudsman had accused the head of the civil service of trying to undermine his office and in a letter to the speaker of the house, hit out at principal permanent secretary Mario Cutajar. He had accused him of trying to rein in his investigative work.
Mifsud had been reacting to the forward in a recent report published by Cutajar which had criticised the ombudsman’s work. In a right of reply, the Department of Information had said that the ombudsman was avoiding proposals that would introduce standard operating policies for that office, among others.
It seems that Mifsud is now, once again, intent on setting the record straight.
"It is a fallacy to opine that the Ombudsman institution has throughout the years in its internal management procedures failed to behave in the same way that it obliges other authorities to do or that it did not embrace the principles of good governance and practice by operating according to the same standards it set for others. Nothing is further from the truth," Mifsud said in the case notes forward.
He did not say what or who he was referring to, stating simply: "It is not proper for me at the end of my tenure to point fingers at the failures of others."
Mifsud also highlighted the "need to educate people, including persons in authority" on what he said are the real values of the ombudsman institution.
"Rather than promoting any attempt at redefining the institution, society should ensure that while recognising the need to improve procedures where needed, the ombudsman institution is not in any way weakened.
"It should be strengthened not only through legislative provisions that further secure its autonomy and independence but also and perhaps more importantly, by a change in mentality that it is not an extension of the public administration but a valid instrument at the disposal of Parliament to hold the executive accountable for its actions at all times.
"This is my heartfelt hope for the future," he said.
The case notes highlight complaints by aggrieved individuals seeking redress from the ombudsman for injustices suffered as a result of the conduct of the public administration or because of a systemic failure that was unfair or unjustly discriminatory.
According to Mifsud, the case notes only review those complaints that need to be fully investigated, leading to a final opinion.
Many other complaints are resolved "through a process of active mediation between theoffice and public authorities".

When the Jewish Book Council honored its 2021 National Book Award winners Wednesday, it included Dr. Joy Ladin’s The Book of Anna. Ladin’s genre-defying book of prose diary entries and autobiographical poems is now in its second edition.
The National Jewish Book Awards, inaugurated in 1950, is the longest-running and considered the most prestigious North American awards program of its kind. In addition to recognizing authors, the awards encourage reading of outstanding English-language books of Jewish interest.
“The book would not have this new life and it would not have won this award without Trace,” Ladin told me in a recent Zoom interview accompanied by Dr. Trace Peterson, whose EOAGH Books published The Book of Anna.
Both Ladin and Peterson are transgender women as well as scholars. Ladin is the David and Ruth Gottesman Professor of English at Yeshiva University in New York City, and was the first out transgender employee at an Orthodox Jewish institution. Peterson is the 2021-2022 Fox Center NEH Postdoctoral Fellow in Poetics at Emory College of Arts and Sciences at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.
Ladin first wrote The Book of Anna in 2007, during her gender transition, and tackled it again at the urging of Peterson. The editor and publisher told me that the Berru Poetry Award won by Ladin is a significant honor, but unrelated to her gender identity.
“The notion of a trans woman getting recognized for her literary work with an award like this, that’s not an LGBT-specific award, is very unusual,” said Peterson. “A lot of writing by trans women has not been valued much or taken very seriously, outside of the genre of memoir. It's important that The Book of Anna is not a memoir—it's a combination of prose and poetry centered on a fictional character. The way it combines genres challenges us to read in new ways and to think about the authorship of trans women in new ways.”
Who Is Anna?
Ladin wrote The Book of Anna in the voice of Anna Asher, a fictional, young, Czech-German Jew who survived a Nazi concentration camp. The story is set in post-war Prague, where Anna answers phones for the secret police. The author threads intimate glimpses of Anna’s present, such as her creative writing process, her interactions with neighbors, while also exploring her vices, including her sex life and her chain-smoking habit. She mixes all that with Anna’s peculiar exploration of Jewish tradition through poems. Anna spares no effort in trying to come to terms with the horror she’s experienced, her own survival, and the aftermath of all that, through poetry.
“When I was growing up as an American Jew, Holocaust victims and survivors had an untouchable moral status as martyrs. You can't criticize a martyr, right? But Anna was not at all interested in being a saintly victim type,” Ladin said. “Anna is living in Prague in the 1950s after an adolescence in a concentration camp. First the Holocaust, then Stalinism. She’s filled with rage and surrounded by a world that failed in every way, and she’s not afraid to say so.”
“When I was a trans kid growing up, I never dared to feel or express my anger. I never dared to say or even think that I was living in a world that failed me, failed people like me, was failing people all around me.”
Like so many young LGBTQ people, Ladin was not inherently prone to depression or suicide risk because of her sexual orientation or gender identity. Rather, as The Trevor Report has found, they are placed at higher risk because of how they are mistreated and stigmatized in society.
“It was too dangerous to feel that rage, which was why I was suicidally depressed all the time,” said Ladin. “I turned that anger inward. I think it's why a lot of trans and queer kids are suicidal; Because you're so angry at the people you're angry at that your life depends on, and it's too risky to be angry at them. You need to be attached to them in some kind of way or you're going to end up on the streets. But Anna doesn’t care whose feelings she hurts. She’s seen the failure of all of the discourses of Western civilization, including, even though she’s not religious, the discourse of Judaism that says that God is visible in the history of the Jewish people. From where she’s sitting, it’s all a house of cards. So she doesn’t feel that she has anything to lose by telling her truth.”
‘Born That Way’
When I asked Ladin why she loved poetry so much, she answered: “I seem to have been born that way." But that love of poetry was not something she inherited.
"My family was non-literary, maybe even anti-literary. We did not have poetry books. Poetry wasn't valued. But as soon as I learned to write, I wanted to write things that I considered poems,” she said. “I didn't know that the Greek word that poetry comes from is the word that means ‘making.’”
Making poems was Ladin’s way of standing apart, an act that was exciting and new.
“It felt to me like when I wrote something, when I wrote a poem, something absolutely new was being made, like something extraordinary was being done whenever words rhymed,” she said. Although she was in the closet in terms of her gender identity, Ladin did not hide her love for poetry. “I couldn't express my identity as a trans person when I was a kid, but being a poet was almost as weird in my family and I was totally out about it. It was something that I was not going to hide about myself. Like being trans, it was something other people couldn't understand. But as a poet, I felt like I do not need other people to affirm me or understand me. I get to just be who I am. From the first, writing poetry was the only thing I did that made me feel alive.”
Ladin revealed that she sees a parallel between rhymes and the secret she kept from the world for so long.
“I was particularly moved by the feeling I got from making words rhyme. Looking back, I wonder if that was because when you rhyme, you're showing a hidden likeness between words that outwardly are completely different. I felt like I had a hidden female identity that rhymed with the outward female identities of the girls around me,” said Ladin. “I wonder if rhyming wasn't a ritual way of saying to myself, ‘This is possible. This can be true. And I can make it happen, over and over again.’”
A Disregard for Poetry, and for Trans People
Ladin told me she was aware as she grew older that others didn’t share her passion. “I grew up in a version of American culture that didn’t care about poetry, and I didn't care that it didn't care,” she said. “I grew up in a culture—I think this is still true of American culture today—that didn't value trans people.”
There are now 14 states enacting bans on trans youth, mostly involving sports but also adding prohibitions on gender-affirming healthcare as well as limiting reproductive rights. Ladin, who is herself a parent, although relations have been strained ever since she came out, sees a growing disconnect between society at large and the transgender community.
“No parent is disappointed because their children don't grow up trans. They may be welcoming and accepting and supportive if they do turn out to be trans. But no parents are saying, “Damn! Boring boys and girls!” There's no sense that our culture would be poorer if there weren't trans people in it,” she said. “Of the universities that are very diversity conscious, few, if any, include gender diversity in their hiring priorities.” That is, however, becoming a priority, even at Yeshiva University, following Ladin’s successful challenge of the status quo, with the help of Lambda Legal.
“We create gender and other identity-defining categories not because they are who we are, but because identifying ourselves in terms of those categories offers us a stability, a clarity, that we don’t in fact have,” said Ladin. “They are simplifications, not representations, of humanity. For me, trans poetics is a way of showing how much we get from looking at humanity from outside those categories, not as victims of them, nor as people who suffer from not being able to fit them, and not even embracing the queerness of our individual inability to fit them, but saying we, all of us, can stand without these crutches. We can be whole instead of fitting ourselves into simplifying categories. We can be all of who we are even if we make no sense to other people. We don’t have to make ourselves less than we are so that others can feel, mistakenly, that they understand us. That’s what the practice of trans poetics offers. And I think that is something that contributes to the entire species.”
“At the same time as our bodies are hyper-visible, things we write and do are often correspondingly invisible,” Peterson added. “Trans literature, and especially trans poetry, are fields that are very much under construction. And I think Joy is one of the people leading the way, and I'm really proud to know her.”
“Everyone Loves Joy”
“Joy is one of the most important trans authors, trans poets,” said Peterson, when asked to describe Ladin. “Joy is an important innovator of trans poetics, going back to when her first book came out in 2003. She's a vital, influential figure in trans literature. Everyone loves Joy. It's amazing; I've seen it in my classes, I've seen it at conferences. She has this ability to change people by talking with them. Her work and her personality are transformative. She has the rare but transformative combination of the erudition of a professor with many years of education and a staggering amount of emotional intelligence, leavened with humor.”
So why this book? Why now, I asked Peterson.
“If you watch Euphoria, which is one of my recent favorite shows, it's amazing how there’s an explosion of visible younger trans people now, transitioning and making art at a younger age than they have before,” Peterson told me. “Another example is Kim Petras, who everyone's listening to.”
“We couldn’t have imagined what Kim Petras represents happening a decade ago. There is now a level of visibility and outness and assertiveness in the general media culture that it won’t be very possible for anti-trans bigots to reverse. And that’s a good thing for younger trans people, as well as for trans writers and artists,” she said.
“I think this book is important because it's transitional, a book of transition. It represents the story of a Holocaust survivor who is a fictional character but has an external life, like the way novelists talk about their characters having a life of their own,” she said. “The process of working with this character was an important part of Joy’s transition, and also of her coming into her full maturity and ability as a poet. So the book is at the nexus of both her poetry and her transition narrative as a trans woman. And it's a perfect literary conceit, too, because like Jack Spicer receiving signals from the Martians or like listening to the radio in Cocteau’s Orphée, it evokes the figure of a voice coming from the outside which is also coming from inside. There’s something very trans about that figure, or that paradox.”
“I was drawn to The Book of Anna because it has a lot of blood and guts in it. It's a very visceral book,” Peterson said. “It's almost a poisonous book, but it's redeemed by Joy’s belief in the essential goodness of human nature, on some level. Or, if not the goodness of human nature, then at least the imperative that the world should be more just and less cruel.”
“I love poetry that's gritty and moving and disturbing. And this book is all of those things,” she said. “I think what's remarkable about the book is that despite its visceral and dystopian qualities, it doesn't lapse into nihilism.”
Donald Trump’s Impact
Peterson draws a very sharp line between actions by the previous president of these United States and her motivation to get Ladin to take a second pass at The Book of Anna.
”The decision to publish it came at a time when there was a discourse in the public sphere about concentration camps during the Trump administration,” she said.
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was raising awareness about concentration camps as the government tried, allegedly, to put people back where they came from, even non-white people who had never lived in other countries. There was a concern among many in the trans community about the administration’s willingness to scapegoat us,” explained Peterson.
“Just a few examples included: Their attempts to eliminate trans health care, their attempts to change the federal definition of sex to mean birth sex, their attempts to exclude poor and homeless trans women from women’s shelters, their violent treatment of trans detainees, all while giving the anti-trans elements of the religious right unprecedented access to government,” she said. “All of these phenomena potentially affected trans people’s ability to participate in society—in fact the FRC [Family Research Council] was and still is pursuing a plan to eliminate trans people from public life. And the ADF [the Alliance Defending Freedom] was propagating bathroom bills across the country.”
What Peterson saw in that era profoundly affected her.
“During the Trump administration, I was going to poetry readings, and people were freaked out. Some trans people were even writing poems about being taken away to camps—those were among the fears that people were having,” she said, adding a warning: “We're probably headed back there pretty soon during the next phase of elections, because the anti-trans voices seem to be getting louder, along with the white supremacist voices.”
“So my decision to publish The Book of Anna had to do with the political atmosphere at the time, and it seemed urgent for those reasons because it seemed to not just apply to Jewish identity, but to a wider swath of people who were being actively targeted by the Trump administration,” she added.
The young poet who ushered in a new administration on Jan. 20, 2021, when Joe Biden was inaugurated, swiftly earned Ladin’s admiration.
”Amanda Gorman is incredible,” she told me. “The inauguration was a fantastic performance, and public poetry and occasional poetry is a really tough job to pull off. After the first line or two, I thought, ‘It’s a good thing that President Biden didn't ask me to do this, because I could not have done anything remotely as good or as well.’”
“I think that Joy is being modest,” said Peterson. “I've seen her read, and her presence and her charisma takes over the whole room. It's just stunning to witness.”
How They Met
“I met Trace when she invited me to present a manifesto at a series she had put together,” Ladin recalled. This was in 2011 at the City University of New York, or CUNY Graduate Center, and it was called TENDENCIES: Poetics and Practice. “It was the first and last time anybody has been foolhardy enough to invite me to present a manifesto. And I really got into it. I had read other people's manifestos and now it was my turn.”
“Joy’s work makes trans literature possible, but also Joy’s presence in the world made my transition possible,” Peterson told me. “I credit her with helping me to feel a sense of permission as well as convince others in my life who were hesitant about my transition. Joy helped me make a shift. I was focused on queer poetry and activism when I met her, in a way that was a little self-abnegating. I was seeking permission from others, and they weren’t giving it to me because there was a lot of low-key transphobia in the cis-poetry community. I wasn't respecting my need to transition or my need to become myself, and meeting Joy helped me see that someone could be present as a trans woman, author and academic who could also thrive professionally. So her work has generally been inspiring for me that way.”
The Voice
While Ladin inspired Peterson, she told me her inspiration was a combination of her own despair and a walk in the woods, where she heard a mysterious voice.
“The only reason I think that I was able to write The Book of Anna is because I think one of the things I got out of my MFA program was complete despair about having an audience for my writing,” said Ladin. “As an American poet, I didn't expect much of an audience. But since I was a child, when I write, I always imagine other people reading what I write, maybe because I felt so isolated in my life that this imaginary communion with imaginary readers was the only sense of intimacy I experienced. And for the sake of these imaginary readers, when I was growing up, I thought, ‘Well, I can't write about the trans stuff at all, because it's personally dangerous and nobody wants that. And if I write things that are too Jewish, then that will restrict my audience to people who are able to get those references.’ Even as a grade school kid, writing truly dreadful verse, I wrestled with the questions that face all minority writers.”
Then she told me about the night she heard The Voice.
“My miserable MFA program experience culminated in a final dinner that left me feeling sick of the way that I write, and I went out for a walk. It was beautiful weather, and I was on a tiny street that ended in a dirt path into the woods,” she recalled. “I said to myself, ‘I'm sick of the way I write poetry.’ Usually when I talk to myself, I don't get an answer. But this time, I heard a voice that said to me, ‘Well, why don't you write like someone else?’ It was a very strange experience, because it didn’t feel strange. It wasn’t like when [poet Rainer Maria] Rilke talks about hearing an angel calling. It was a matter-of-fact voice listening to me bitch and moan to myself and staging a little intervention here amid the pity party.”
So what did she do? What would anyone do, when hearing voices in their head?
“Somebody else might have interpreted this as a mental health crisis,” Ladin admitted. “I just responded snarkily. ‘Well, who should I write like?’ If the voice wasn’t going to let me be self-pitying and despairing, I wanted it to tell me what I what I should do. And to my surprise, it did: it gave me the basic bio of Anna. And that was very exciting to me.”
The rest is history. Inexplicably, Ladin shrugs off the praise her book has won, by crediting the fictional titular character. “Anna is a better poet than I am,” she said, “I learned things about poetry from Anna.”

Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Kirsten Adamson has teamed up with some of the UK’s finest folk and Americana singers for her version of ‘Peace In Our Time’ in aid of War Child.
The song was written by Fifer Stuart and originally released in 198 on Big Country’ third album.
Kirsten’s version is released on Moday,April 11 - on what would have been Stuart’s 64th birthday.
This new version features Kirsten on lead vocals, backed by luminaries including Karen Matheson from Capercaillie, Dean Owens, Jill Jackson, Dave Burn, Lisa Rigby, Dan Raza, Emily Smith, Paul Gilbody and Jason McNiff.
The video features children who mime the words tpo the song.
Those who took part were friends who responded to Kirsten’s appeal, creating a poignant and pointed rendition of the Big Country classic.
Kirsten said: ““Half of Ukraine's children have now fled the country. more more than 5 million Syrian children are in need of humanitarian assistance and more than 12 million children in Yemen are in danger from war, disease and hunger.
“Feeling helpless and overcome with sadness, especially as I watched my own young son, I wanted to raise money to help these children in any way I could.
“I put a call for action on my social media pages for people to help out and take part in the video, and was overwhelmed by the response.”
Kirsten chose War Child as the charity is working directly with children who are living through terrifying conflicts, offering them safe spaces and delivering life-changing services and support.
Kirsten has forged her own musical path, and was the vocalist and keyboard player for indie-folkers Aberfeldy, before fronting country rockers The Gillyflowers and, more recently, half of alt-country duo The Marriage who were one of the bands which took part in a celebration of Johnny Cash’s family links to Fife in March 2020 - one of the last gigs stated in Scotland before lockdown.
Her second solo album, Landing Place is scheduled for release in the autumn.

Data has been released showing how many UK visas have been issued to Ukrainian refugees that have fleed the country after Russia's invasion of the country, with one Berkshire borough having fewer than five. Each of our county's six boroughs has been ranked in the latest release, showing a total of 167 visas have been allocated for our region.
The list of the number of visas issued under the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme as of April 6, is broken down by the local authority of the sponsor’s property. The data has been published by the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
The scheme allows Ukrainian nationals and their family members to come to the UK if they have a named sponsor. Visas have been issued to local authorities based on the postcode of the sponsor’s address, or of the accommodation address if the applicant is not staying with the sponsor.

Not all records of visas have a postcode that has been mapped to a local authority area, but the number of records excluded is less than 1 per cent. The data is provisional and is likely to include some duplicate records, so may not be an exact record of the number of individuals who have been issued visas.
The data does not contain the number of visas issued through the Ukraine Family Scheme, which allows applicants to join family members or extend their stay in the UK. The list has been ordered by the number of visas issued per local authority area, starting with the highest number. Berkshire's boroughs are in bold and underlined.

Which small lampshade is best?
Small is a matter of opinion and a function of necessity. A lampshade may appear large on its own but look small when placed on its intended lamp, or vice versa. One must also consider the shape of the lampshade. Graceful curves may make the lampshade seem smaller than it is, while a blocky square looks large even if it’s only 8 by 8 by 8 inches.
The best small lampshade is the Alucset Small Barrel Lampshade, as it’s a classic design with many color options.
What to know before you buy a small lampshade
Size
“Small” in lampshades can mean one of two things: it’s small overall, or it’s small for the lamp. Lampshades that are small overall are good; they’re rarely larger than 8 inches tall and 10 inches at their widest. Lampshades that are small for the lamp look bad — like putting a thimble on your big toe.
To find what size lampshade you need, start by measuring the widest portion of your lamp, wherever it may be, and double that number. This is the appropriate top and/or bottom width for your lampshade. Then, measure the height of your lamp to find the appropriate lampshade height — it should be two-thirds of that number. If any of your results are larger than 8-10 inches, you’ll likely need to search for medium or large lampshades instead. Also, floor lampshade heights don’t have a formula — they just need to be tall enough to cover the bulb and fitter.
Fitter
Small lampshades use one of three fitter types: uno, spider or clip-on.
- Uno fitters are placed over the light bulb socket and secured by screwing in the bulb on top. They’re uncommon for small lampshades.
- Spider fitters are the most common. They rest on top of a harp above the light bulb. Most lamps include a harp, and most spider-fitted lampshades are compatible with most harps.
- Clip-on fitters clip onto the bulb directly. These are uncommon for any size lampshade, as light bulb shapes vary too greatly.
What to look for in a quality small lampshade
Material
Most lampshades are made from paper or cotton, though many other materials are used.
- Paper and cotton shades diffuse light the best and are affordable to make. Paper is good for those who like to “arts and crafts” their small lampshades.
- Other materials include silk, parchment and metal. Metal especially is different as many have no actual shade, instead looking like a cage has been placed over the bulb.
Lining
The lining’s thickness and material have the greatest effect on how much light is let through.
- Thick liners let less light through than thin ones, but they’re also better at helping the lampshade retain its shape over time.
- Material mostly affects the appearance of the light coming through. Metallic liners reflect light in interesting patterns, for example, while colored liners change the color.
How much you can expect to spend on a small lampshade
Small lampshades are usually lower in cost thanks to their smaller material requirements, but they can still cost $100-plus if they use pricey materials and come from a designer brand. Most cost $20-$50.
Small lampshade FAQ
Does the color of a small lampshade matter?
A. Yes. A lampshade’s color changes the appearance and strength of your lamp’s light. For example, a black lampshade is much dimmer than a white lampshade. Another example would be the difference between a dark and light green lampshade. They both cause your lamp’s light to be greenish, but the lighter green is brighter and greener than the darker color. If you want a lampshade that doesn’t change your room’s aesthetics too much, go with a medium-thickness white model.
Can I personalize small lampshades?
A. Yes, though some lampshades are easier to personalize than others. Paper lampshades are the best for personalization as paper can hold many materials, such as paint or glue for making a 3D design. You can also glue light-blocking shapes to the liner of a plain lampshade for special “secret” designs only seen when the lamp is on, though small lampshades don’t have much space to play around with this idea.
Does pleating change the way light moves through a small lampshade?
A. No, pleating won’t limit the amount of light that shines through the small lampshade. It affects your home’s aesthetics, however, as pleating is considered old-fashioned or rustic compared to the sleeker, flat-fronted lampshades of today.

When should you aerate your lawn?
Anyone who owns a home knows a great lawn doesn’t happen by accident. It takes a lot of planning and maintenance to get lush green grass that’s the envy of all your neighbors. Regular watering, mowing and fertilizing are important, but they won’t do anything for you if your soil doesn’t provide the right growing conditions.
Over time, soil can become so compacted that it doesn’t let nutrients reach the roots, where they can do the most good. Lawn aeration is a simple process that solves this problem. To get the best results, though, it is important to do it at the proper time — otherwise, you may be doing more harm than good.
The purpose of lawn aeration
In lawn aeration, you perforate your lawn with many small holes, breaking up heavily compacted soil so water, nutrients and oxygen can better reach the roots. This improves grass’s drought tolerance, so it can handle harsh weather better. It also improves drainage and encourages faster, better growth. The roots will grow deeper, letting them reach nutrients and water further down in the soil.
How often to aerate your lawn
You’ll be happy to know you don’t need to aerate it frequently. How often depends on the type of soil you have and how much foot traffic it gets. If your soil has a high clay content or is highly trafficked, you should aerate it once a year. Most other lawns only need to be aerated every two to three years as long as they are growing well and look healthy.
Signs that your lawn needs aeration
There are several signs that may indicate your lawn needs aeration.
- It begins to turn brown after just a few days of hot weather
- Water puddles on the surface after rain
- The grass isn’t growing or is growing slowly
- There are lots of bald or worn spots
- The grass is noticeably thinning
- There is a heavy buildup of thatch
If you are still unsure if your lawn needs aeration after seeing some of these signs, there are two tests you can perform. Try sticking a shovel into the soil. If it is difficult to penetrate, it is too heavily compacted. You can also dig into a section of your lawn and inspect the roots. If they don’t extend at least 2 inches, your soil likely needs aeration.
The best time to aerate your lawn
Though aeration helps your lawn, it also stresses it. To ensure it recovers quickly from any damage, only aerate it during its peak growing season. This varies based on the type of grass you have and your location. In cool climates and for cold-season grasses, early spring and early fall are good times. For hotter climates and warm-season grasses, late spring and early summer are best.
Types of lawn aerators
Lawn aerators come in two types: spike and plug.
- Spike aerators are less effective but tend to be more affordably priced. They make very small holes and don’t require any cleanup afterward.
- Plug aerators remove small, cylindrical chunks of soil. They leave these strewn all over the lawn, so you’ll need to mow over them or manually remove them later, but this is much more effective.
Tips for aerating your lawn
Aerating a lawn isn’t difficult, but there are a few tips to follow that can help you get the most from it.
- Moisture: Avoid aerating when it is overly dry. Instead, do it a day or two after it rains. If Mother Nature isn’t being accommodating, water the lawn thoroughly the day before you aerate.
- Obstacles: Before you start, flag sprinklers and any other obstacles in the grass to avoid accidentally damaging them.
- Repeat: During aeration, make several passes over the most heavily compacted areas to ensure through perforation.
- New growth: When you have finished, fertilize your lawn and, if needed, spread grass seeds. Your soil will be the most receptive at this time.
What you need to buy for aerating your lawn
If you have a small lawn, these affordably priced manual aerator shoes are a good choice. They strap securely into place via sturdy metal buckles, and each features 13 heavy-duty spikes that penetrate nearly 2 inches into the soil.

With a vast section of the adult population being inoculated and the pace of vaccination declining in most parts of the country, Serum Institute of India (SII) chief executive officer Adar Poonawalla on April 8 said "free replacement" would be provided to hospitals, in case of future orders, if the vaccine expires.
"Everyone is accurate in pointing out that there is COVID fatigue and vaccine fatigue," Poonawalla told CNBC TV18, adding that taking this into consideration, SII is introducing the free replacement policy.
"No hospital should ever be in a position to throw away vaccine...For future orders, Serum will provide free replacement to hospitals in case a Serum vaccine expires," he said.
SII is currently producing two COVID-19 vaccines for mass usage in India - Covishield and Covovax. The former, which is the same as the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, has been used for inoculating over 90 percent of the country's vaccinated population.
Covovax, which is the SII-produced version of the Novovax vaccine developed in the US, received regulatory nod last month for use on children aged above 12.
Both the vaccines have a shelf life of nine months, provided that the vials are safely stored at a temperature ranging from 2 to 8 degree celsius.
"In 10-14 days, Covovax can be available on CoWin at about Rs 900 plus tax," Poonawalla said, noting that the end user will have to pay price as mentioned on the application. The vaccine will be distributed to registered clinics and hospitals, he added.
For Covishield, SII will give a "heavy discount", Poonawalla said, adding that the vaccine will be sold to hospitals "below Rs 600 per dose".
"We are going to make the terms easy and equitable...My team is in touch with all private hospitals," Poonawalla added.
On the Centre's decision to allow a third vaccine dose for all adults from April 10, the Serum chief executive said it will be a "huge relief for all those who wanted to have a booster as precautionary measure or for travel."
