Govt to consider underground power lines around Tiruchi Rock Fort CHENNAI April 13, 2022 15:00 ISTOfficials will inspect the area, says Senthil Balaji The Tamil Nadu government will consider laying underground power lines in the roads and streets around Rock Fort in Tiruchi to facilitate car processions during religious festivals, Minister for Electricity V. Senthil Balaji said in the Assembly on Wednesday. Responding to a request by DMK MLA S. Inigo Irudayaraj (Tiruchi East), he said officials would inspect the area, and the work would be executed if the resources required were available. Mr. Irudayaraj pointed out that the Thayumanaswami Temple and Our Lady of Lourdes Church were located in the area and during the car processions, power lines posed a risk. He also sought to know whether the government would set up an electric sub-station in the vacant land belonging to the Tiruchi Corporation in the junction of Sangiliyandapuram and Duraisamypuram roads in the Tiruchi East constituency. To Mr. Balaji’s question about land availability, Mr. Irudayaraj said the land was available. The Minister said a total of 10 transformers would be set up in Tiruchi this year.	https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/govt-to-consider-underground-power-lines-around-tiruchi-rock-fort/article65317365.ece/amp/	2022-04-13T09:56:12Z	https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/govt-to-consider-underground-power-lines-around-tiruchi-rock-fort/article65317365.ece/amp/	false
NEW YORK (AP) — As the year began, New Yorkers shuddered at a subway crime straight out of urban nightmares — the death of a woman shoved onto the tracks by a disturbed stranger. The city’s new mayor vowed to “make sure New Yorkers feel safe in our subway system.” But commuters Tuesday morning faced an attack that evoked many riders’ deepest fears. A rush-hour train car filled with smoke as it pulled into a Brooklyn station. Gunshots rang out — at least 33 of them — wounding at least 10 people. Frightened riders fled, and so did the gunman, who remains at large. Much is still unknown about the attack, including whether it was an act of terrorism. At a Tuesday evening press conference, authorities said they were looking for Frank R. James, 62, who they say rented a van linked to the shooting. It was a searing reminder of the city’s unyielding battle with gun violence and the specter of terror-like attacks that hangs over New York City — particularly the subway system that is its transportation backbone. Police and security officials have made many attempts to harden the city against such attacks, putting officers on trains and platforms, installing cameras and even doing rare spot checks for weapons on passengers entering some stations. Yet the sprawling system, with its nearly 500 stations, largely remains like the city streets themselves: Too big to guard and too busy to completely secure. In the hours after the shooting, with the gunman still on the loose, commuters like Julia Brown had little choice but to keep riding the rails. “It’s the only way to get home — other than the express bus and then another bus and then another bus,” said Brown, who works in Manhattan. “I lived through 9/11. I lived through the blackout. You just have to be as safe as you can, and just be mindful around your environment.” Mayor Eric Adams vowed after Tuesday’s mass shooting to keep fighting to make the system safe. “We’re going to double down on our patrol strength,” the mayor told CBS News. Even before Tuesday’s violence, the mayor had vowed to increase subway patrols and launch sweeps of subway stations and trains to remove homeless people using them as shelters. Gov. Kathy Hochul posted a photo on social media showing her riding a train hours after the shooting. Public officials say the transportation system is crucial in the city’s recovery from COVID-19. During the height of the pandemic, many New Yorkers avoided mass transit. Typical daily ridership fell from 5.5 million riders to less than a tenth of that. But as more people return to offices, ridership is increasing. On Monday, estimated ridership was 3.1 million, according to the MTA, which operates the system. In a rambling video posted on YouTube, James replayed recent speeches by the mayor and governor and mocked their efforts to address violence as weak and futile. “Their plan is doomed for failure,” James said in the video. In the 1980s, New York City’s subways were a symbol of urban disorder: graffiti-covered, crime-plagued and shunned by tourists. Like the rest of the city, though, the subways have cleaned up their act in recent decades. Before COVID-19 hit, the main problem with the trains wasn’t crime but overcrowding and breakdowns related to aging infrastructure. After the Sept. 11 terror attacks, New Yorkers learned to live with the worry that the subways or other parts of the city could be a terror target. In 2017, an Islamic State group sympathizer detonated a pipe bomb strapped to his chest in a subway station near the Port Authority Bus Terminal, injuring several bystanders. That same year, the city began expanding the use of vehicle-blocking sidewalk barriers after two attacks. In one, a man who prosecutors said was supportive of IS drove a rented truck down a bicycle path along the Hudson River, killing eight people and maiming others. In another, a psychologically disturbed man drove a car at high speed into pedestrians in Times Square, killing one and injuring as many as 20. In 2016, a man who prosecutors said sympathized with Osama bin Laden set off homemade bombs in Manhattan and New Jersey, injuring some bystanders, before being captured in a shootout with police. And in 2010 a man tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square, only to have it fizzle. Christopher Herrmann, a former city police officer who is now a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said episodes like Tuesday’s shooting are bound to provoke a new round of anxiety, especially among people who use the subway. “With 9/11, you have a specific target: the World Trade Center,” Herrmann said. “A lot of people can wrap their heads around that.” But the seeming randomness of this week’s attack “really invokes a lot of fear and worry,” he said, “because most people don’t consider themselves a target.” During Tuesday’s evening commute, some subway riders expressed concern while others shrugged it off as an everyday risk. “Sadly, this is the society we’re in,” said rider Blanca Palacio. “We don’t know when it is going to happen, where it is going to happen. It can happen anywhere. We’re taking a risk every day, and it’s not just in the subway. It’s everywhere.” Alexi Vizhnay considered boarding a ferry across the East River after work Tuesday afternoon but decided to take his chances on the subway. It was simply the most efficient way to get home to Queens. “There’s a lot of things that happen out of your control,” he said. “As tragic as it is, all I can do is remind myself to be vigilant and be cautious.” ___ Associated Press writers Jennifer Peltz and Michael R.

Boy, 5, with autism dubbed 'Mini Einstein' wows TikTok fans with his photographic memory and his ability to write in 10 languages and list every country and capital in the world - Sebastian Esposito, from Albuquerque, New Mexio, started spelling at 18 months - Has hyperlexia - advanced reading age and fascination with numbers or letters - Can recite entire periodice table of elements even though he can't tie shoelaces - Proud parents say Sebastian, who has autism, is a 'blessing' they don't deserve A remarkable five-year-old who learned to read before he could walk has wowed millions of people online with his 'photographic' memory and ability to write in 10 different languages. When Sebastian Esposito, from Albuquerque, New Mexio, was 18 months old, he became obsessed with a wooden letter puzzle and began spelling out words like cat and dog - going on to write more than 200 words by the time he was two, as well as learning the entire Russian alphabet. Sebastian has a skill called hyperlexia, which is when a child has a reading ability well in advance of their age and has a fascination with numbers or letters, and has also been diagnosed with autism. Now five and in kindergarten, where his classmates are still learning their ABCs, Sebastian has a reading age of 18, has memorised the Greek, German, Armenian, and Turkish alphabets and can recite the entire periodic table of elements by heart - although he cannot yet tie his shoelaces. Proud dad Ryan Esposito, 30, a mine worker, who lives with his photographer wife Amanda Esposito, 33, her daughter from a previous relationship, Shyann, 14, and Sebastian, said: 'Every parent thinks their child is special. But I knew Sebastian was really special. Sebastian Esposito has taken the internet by storm after revealing his incredible capacity for retaining information Where his classmates are still learning their ABCs, Sebastian has a reading age of 18 and has memorised the Greek, German, Armenian, and Turkish alphabets Sebastian, pictured at the age of three, knows the entire periodic table of elements by heart, while his father admits he couldn't name ten of them. 'When he started to spell words backwards, I thought maybe he was an alien. And he picked up all these words so quickly. It was incredible. 'We think he has a photographic memory. Anything he sees he just stores in his head and never forgets it.' Agred three, Sebastian was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. When Sebastian's family first started posting videos of him online, it was to raise awareness of his condition and they never expected the short clips to go viral - with some attracting nearly 20 million views. The family learn something new everyday from Sebastian who taught them that Kazakhstan is the largest land-locked country in the world The most popular TikToks, which he posts under the name @litttle.einstein, often show him writing out an entire alphabet or every font on Microsoft Word, as well as listing every country and capital in the world from memory. Ryan said: 'He can list every single country in the world and their flag, their capitals and where they are. He can tell a country from the outline. 'Seeing him flourish like this is so brilliant. We don't feel like we deserve such a blessing. Sebastian has a condition called Hyperlexia, which is when a child has a reading ability well in advance of their age and has a fascination with numbers or letters. Despite not being able to speak with his words, Sebastian will communicate with his family by writing down information 'We're just trying to spread awareness about his condition, because even we as a family look at him differently because of the way he is. 'Sebastian can't really speak with his words, it's quite difficult for him. He has all of these thoughts, but he struggles to communicate that way. 'He has an amazing mind, but he needs to write it down and he can let you know exactly how he is feeling. 'If he falls down and hurts himself, it's tough for him to let us know, so it can be really difficult. When Sebastian Esposito was 18 months old, he became obsessed with a wooden letter puzzle and began spelling out words like cat and dog - going on to write more than 200 words by the time he was two, as well as learning the entire Russian alphabet He was diagnosed aged three as well as being found to have autism, a developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. Two-year-old Sebastian drawing on a wall 'We want people to know that every kid isn't the same. But they are all brilliant. 'Sebastian can't put on his own shoes, but he can write in Russian - and that's fine.' The day of Sebastian's birth on July 19 2016 rapidly turned into a nightmare when he and his mother were left near death when he became 'jammed' in the birth canal. Medics warned Ryan that the pair would not survive if the baby was not delivered within 30 minutes, reducing him to floods of tears. Ryan said: 'I couldn't believe what was happening. It was the worst day of my life, but also the best as Sebastian was born. 'The alarms started going off. The nurses even threw me out of the room. 'I took off crying and then they told me I could cut the cord because he was fine. He was blue when I saw him though, he didn't even look alive.' Incredibly, both mother and son survived the dramatic delivery, but Sebastian was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit at the Presbyterian Hospital of Albuquerque, where he remained for nine days. A dramatic delivery saw Sebastian spend nine days in tensive care after turning blue. His parents were told he would have developmental issues Ryan initially tried to engage in more 'traditional' father-son activities with Sebastian, like playing with toys or throwing a ball about, but he realised that his son's one true passion was reading Sebastian can now tell his family anything with written words, they even potty trained him this way, as his quick-thinking parents started to use wooden letters to spell out instructions. Ryan was told his son would probably have significant developmental issues, but the first-time dad was not worried at all, because he just wanted to hold his baby. He said: 'When we were told he could have difficulties, we weren't concerned at all. We just wanted him to be okay. 'Once we took him home, we were just your average paranoid parents, always making sure he was still breathing. 'We could tell his cognitive ability was there, so it didn't matter to us if there was something wrong. Being Sebastian's dad has made his parents feel compassionate and more understanding about other people. Pictured Amanda, Ryan, Sebastian, Shyann and Amanda His parents are trying to spread awareness about his condition, so the world understands what its like to be him 'I was just glad he and his mother both survived.' Sebastian only started crawling when he was nine months old and did not begin to walk until he was nearly two. Despite struggling with speech delay, the perceptive tot was easily potty trained, as his quick-thinking parents started to use wooden letters to spell out instructions. Ryan said: 'As he's speech delayed, these games and puzzles are the way I can communicate with my son. As he's speech delayed, games and puzzles are the only way his parents can communicate with him When people see what he can do his parents worry people think they're forcing him to learn. But it's all his own doing. 'It's how we potty trained him. We wrote it down. We told him to pee and do a number two in the toilet. 'We'd write down questions like what he wanted to eat and he would tell us. 'Now he can tell us anything with written words. That's how we taught him.' Ryan initially tried to engage in more 'traditional' father-son activities with Sebastian, like playing with toys or throwing a ball about, but he realised that his little boy's one true passion was reading. On Sebastian's first proper Christmas in 2018, he was given a Russian alphabet puzzle and Ryan said he could not have been happier. 'Learning is his version of playing with toy dinosaurs. He loves spelling challenges, or guessing logos, or writing out fonts. Four-year-old Sebastian drawing letters. Instead of playing with toys, Ryan engages with Sebastian by giving him spelling challenges, logo guessing games, or font quizzes, where he types out every font on Microsoft Word He added: 'His very first Christmas, we got him a Russian alphabet puzzle and he reacted like a kid who'd received his favourite bike. 'He just loves reading and he becomes completely obsessed with it.' Instead of playing with toys, Ryan engages with Sebastian by giving him spelling challenges, logo guessing games, or font quizzes, where he types out every font on Microsoft Word. Armed with the knowledge learned from his hundreds and hundreds of books, Sebastian has yet to back down from a challenge. Sebastian only started crawling when he was nine months old and did not begin to walk until he was nearly two All Sebastian really cares about is learning, and will always prioritise new information over his toys Armed with the knowledge learned from his hundreds and hundreds of books, Sebastian has yet to back down from a challenge Ryan said: 'He is so, so passionate. We tried to get him to play with trucks and cars, but it's not what he wants. 'All he cares about is learning. He has plenty of toys, but they are just covered in dust. 'When they see what he can do, I worry people think we're forcing him to learn. But it's all his own doing. 'Learning is his version of playing with toy dinosaurs. He loves spelling challenges, or guessing logos, or writing out fonts.' And Ryan says Sebastian teaches him something new each day. He said: 'I feel like I've been learning so much thanks to Sebastian. He has taught me that Kazakhstan is the largest land-locked country in the world. 'He knows the entire periodic table of elements by heart, I couldn't even tell you 10 of them. 'I can list most African countries in the world now thanks to him. I've learned so much just from playing with him. 'Being Sebastian's dad has made me more compassionate and more understanding about other people and their kids as well.'

Arkansas man photographed with his feet on the desk ‘and a stun gun’ in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot rejects plea deal - Richard Barnett, 61, became one of the Capitol insurrection's most famous faces - He is charged with theft of government property, disorderly conduct and entering a restricted building with a dangerous weapon on January 6, 2021 - Barnett also carried a stun gun when he put his feet on Pelosi's desk: prosecutors - Ex-firefighter and window salesman said no to guilty plea and five-year jail term - The Arkansas rioter also stole headed letter paper from Pelosi and left a quarter The Capitol rioter pictured putting his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk rejected a plea bargain which would see him spend more than five years behind bars. Richard Barnett, 61, faces a rally of charges for his part in the January 6, 2021 insurrection, including entering a restricted building with a dangerous weapon. He is also charged with theft of government property, disorderly conduct and obstruction of an official proceeding. Barnett (pictured in the Speaker's chair, the Capitol) became a minor celebrity after Jan 6. The ex-window salesman and firefighter allegedly carried a stun gun (pictured on his waist), though his lawyers claim it is a 'collapsible walking stick'. The 61-year-old faces trial on Sept. 6 An attorney for Barnett told a pretrial hearing that his defendant would not be accepting a plea deal with sentencing guidelines of 70 to 87 months, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. Barnett has pleaded not guilty to the lengthy list of charges. Prosecutor Mary L. Dohrmann said that under the rejected agreement, Barnett would have pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding, while six other charges would have been dismissed. Barnett, 61, turned himself in on January 8, 2021 The former firefighter and window salesman from Gravette, Arkansas became one of the Capitol riot's most famous faces after entering the House Speaker's office and planting a boot on her desk. Prosecutors claim he was carrying a stun gun. Barnett also left Pelosi a foul-mouthed handwritten note and pinched a personalized envelope from the Speaker's office. But he didn't steal it, he said on Jan. 6. 'I left a quarter on her desk.' The note read: 'Hey Nancy, Bigo was here b**h.' Joseph McBride, Barnett's attorney, called the plea offer unreasonable, the newspaper reported. McBride said: 'We're talking about a 61-year-old man with no criminal history, who's never been charged with any violent act. Barnett (pictured with an unidentified Capitol rioter) pinched a headed envelope from the desk 'He certainly wasn't violent that day by any stretch of the imagination.' Barnett will now proceed to trial, which is set to begin September 6. His lawyers have previously argued Barnett wrote 'biatch' not 'bh' and deserves less severe punishment. They included a link to a definition for the term from FreeDictionary.com in their motion filed last April. The lawyers wrote: 'The website defines 'biatch' as 'rude slang, a variant of b used as a term of endearment or disparagement from another person.' Attorneys for Barnett (left) say he wrote 'biatch' not 'b**h' in a note left on Pelosi's desk (right) 'As such,' the motion continues, 'Richard now asks this court to look past and ultimately disregard the government's distorted representations, which do not rise to the level of showing 'dangerousness' and grant Richard pretrial release as required by law.' Barnett was freed one day later. His lawyers compared him to Black Lives Matter protestors, claiming Barnett was a symbol of 'Change through us'. They argue the alleged stun gun is simply the 61-year-old's 'collapsible walking stick'. Barnett is no longer permitted to possess firearms or any other weapons. His passport has been revoked and he is barred from applying for a new one. He is also not permitted to associate with anyone who attended the Capitol riot.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10714467/Stun-gun-wielding-Capitol-rioter-61-feet-Nancy-Pelosis-desk-rejects-plea-deal.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490	2022-04-13T10:25:17Z	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10714467/Stun-gun-wielding-Capitol-rioter-61-feet-Nancy-Pelosis-desk-rejects-plea-deal.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490	false
ROME (AP) — A close associate of Pope Francis on Wednesday defended the Vatican’s decision to have a Russian woman and a Ukrainian woman carry the cross together during a Good Friday procession that will be presided over by the pontiff. On Tuesday, both the Ukrainian ambassador to the Holy See and the archbishop of Kyiv blasted the choice given Russia’s invasion and war in Ukraine. The women are both nurses who work together at a Rome hospital. Ukrainian Ambassador Andrii Yurash tweeted that he “understands and shares general concern in Ukraine and many other communities about idea to bring together Ukrainian and Russian women” to carry the cross during part of the procession on Friday. “Now we are working on the issue trying to explain difficulties of its realization and possible consequences,” the ambassador said. The torchlit procession at at Rome's Colosseum is a traditional part of the Vatican's Holy Week observances. The Vatican didn't immediately comment. Responding to the criticism, the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, a Jesuit priest in Rome who is close to Francis, defended the pairing of the Russian and Ukrainian women for the solemn procession. “You have to understand one thing” about the pope, Spadaro told Italian state radio network RAI on Wednesday. “He's a pastor, not a politician.” Spadaro ventured that the image of the two women carrying the cross together was upsetting “because they represent something that can’t be obtained” now — “peace.” Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, who is based in Kyiv and heads the Greek-Catholic church in Ukraine, also denounced the pairing. “I consider this idea inopportune and ambiguous,” Shevchuk said, adding that it “doesn't take into consideration the context of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine.” Shevchuk also decried the wording of a meditation that the Vatican had said would be read aloud as the nurses clutch the tall, lightweight cross. It reads, “We want our life back as before. Why all of this? What wrong did we do? Why have you forsaken us? Why have you forsaken our peoples?” The words, combined with the cross-carrying gesture, “are incomprehensible and even offensive,” the Greek-Catholic prelate said. . The meditation was scripted based on the experiences of the families of the Russian and Ukrainian women, whose families also plan to participate in the procession, the Vatican has said. The women, interviewed on Italian state TV earlier in the week, have expressed satisfaction with their role in the procession and stressed their friendship. The pope did not mention the controversy during his public audience on Wednesday. But he denounced “the armed aggression of these days” as “an outrage against God.” Francis has pressed for an Easter cease-fire in Ukraine. Easter falls on April 17 for many Christians this year.	https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Ukraine-upset-by-Vatican-inviting-Russian-to-17077373.php	2022-04-13T10:26:02Z	https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Ukraine-upset-by-Vatican-inviting-Russian-to-17077373.php	false

Before you buy a new throw pillow cover, you’ll need to know the size of your existing pillow or buy the correct-sized insert. If you’re looking for a square cover, Willa Arlo Interiors Edgar Square 100% Cotton Pillow Cover is a top choice and comes in three sizes. What to know before you buy a throw pillow cover Material Throw pillows are both decorative and functional. They are also known as “toss pillows” for their loose placement on couches, armchairs, beds and even floors. The material of the cover can add texture and a pop of color to furnishings. You can find covers in a wide variety of textiles, including cotton, velvet, corduroy, flannel, linen, microfiber, chenille, suede, leather and faux fur. Size Throw pillow covers come in a variety of sizes, such as 16 by 16 inches, 18 by 18 inches, 20 by 20 inches, 22 by 22 inches, 24 by 24 inches and 12 by 20 inches. Select manufacturers may offer smaller and larger covers. The majority of covers are 18 by 18 inches and you’ll find plenty of options in those dimensions. Shape Square and rectangular covers are widely available for throw pillows. Cylindrical and circular throw pillows may be harder to find covers for that fit properly, other than the one that came with the insert. Circular inserts come in a range of diameters, from 14-36 inches, so be sure the cover has the correct dimensions to fit the pillow. Count You can buy throw pillow covers individually or in packs of two. Some manufacturers only offer covers in sets of two or four, especially when buying 18 by 18-inch covers. What to look for in a quality throw pillow cover Color Throw pillow covers do not need to match bedding and upholstery exactly in color (or in textile). In fact, you can opt for a contrasting color, such as a dark color to contrast lighter furnishings for an aesthetic statement. Or pick a complementary shade that goes with color accents in a room. You can find throw covers in every color under the sun, from neutral hues to pastels to bold gem tones. Pattern Covers not only come in solid colors but also in patterns. Geometric patterns are popular as well as floral, plaid and striped designs. You can also find covers with graphics and words, such as “love” or “home sweet home.” During holiday time, there are plenty of Christmas-themed throw pillow covers to spruce up your living space with the holiday spirit. Texture and decorations Depending on its material, a throw pillow cover can also be textured. Some materials are naturally textured, like corduroy or faux fur, while other covers add tufted materials, yarn, fur or raised material that provide both texture and a decorative element. In addition, throw pillow covers can have tassels, pom-poms or piping. Closure Throw pillow covers feature either a concealed envelope or a hidden zipper closure. Both use zippers to close the opening of the pillow cover. Envelope-style closures conceal a hidden zipper behind it and use an extra piece of fabric to do so. Hidden zipper openings are located along the bottom edge of the pillow and the zipper is concealed on the inside of the cover. How much you can expect to spend on a throw pillow cover Expect to pay between $4-$58 for an 18- by 18-inch cover. Throw pillow cover FAQ Should the pillow insert be the same size as the throw pillow cover? A. You can certainly buy a cover that is the same size as the insert. For a full look, try buying a pillow insert that’s 2 inches bigger than the size of the cover. For instance, for a 20- by 20-inch cover buy a 22- by 22-inch insert for a plump appearance. Can I machine-wash my throw pillow cover? A. It really depends on the fabric. Some fabrics can only be dry-cleaned or hand-washed while others can only be spot-cleaned. If you want a throw pillow that can be cleaned easily, especially if you live in a household with children and pets, select a throw pillow cover that is machine washable.

Russia says more than 1,000 Ukrainian troops have surrendered in the besieged southeastern port of Mariupol. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj.-Gen. Igor Konashenkov said 1,026 troops from the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade surrendered at a metals plant in the city. Russian forces moved on Mariupol in late February and units in the city have been running low on supplies. Konashenkov said that the 1,026 Ukrainian marines included 162 officers and 47 female personnel, and that 151 wounded received medical treatment. Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych did not comment on the alleged mass surrender, but said in a post on Twitter that elements of the 36th Marine Brigade had managed to link up with other Ukrainian forces in the city as a result of a “risky maneuver.” KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: — Ukraine probes claim poisonous substance dropped in Mariupol People are also reading… — ‘It’s not the end’: The children who survived Bucha’s horror — Russian war worsens fertilizer crunch, risking food supplies — Czechs provide free shooting training for local Ukrainians — Go to https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine for more coverage OTHER DEVELOPMENTS: The presidents of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia say they are headed for Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Twitter posts by the leaders on Wednesday showed them standing outside a Ukrainian railroad passenger car, but did not give details about the trip. “We are visiting Ukraine to show strong support to the Ukrainian people, will meet dear friend President Zelenskyy,“ Estonian President Alar Karis said in his post. Polish President Andrzej Duda, Lithuania’s Gitanas Nauseda and Egils Levits of Latvia also are on the trip. WASHINGTON — The United States and its allies are pushing ahead with sanctions aimed at forcing Vladimir Putin to spend Russia’s money propping up its economy rather than sustaining its “war machine” for the fight in Ukraine, a top Treasury Department official said Tuesday. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, one of the main U.S. coordinators on the Russian sanctions strategy, said in an interview with The Associated Press that the goal is to make Russia “less able to project power in the future.” On the same day that inflation notched its steepest increase in decades, Adeyemo said reducing supply chain backlogs and managing the pandemic are key to bringing down soaring prices that he related to the ongoing land war in Ukraine, which has contributed to rising energy costs. Adeyemo discussed the next steps the U.S. and its allies will take to inflict financial pain on Russia — and the complications the war has on rising costs to Americans back home. Adeyemo said the U.S. and its allies will next target the supply chains that contribute to the construction of Russia’s war machine, which includes “everything from looking at ways to go after the military devices that have been built to use not only in Ukraine, but to project power elsewhere.” KYIV, Ukraine — More than 720 people have been killed in Bucha and other Kyiv suburbs that were occupied by Russian troops and more than 200 are considered missing, the Interior Ministry said early Wednesday. In Bucha alone, Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk said 403 bodies had been found and the toll could rise as minesweepers comb the area. Ukraine’s prosecutor-general’s office said Tuesday it was also looking into events in the Brovary district, which lies to the northeast. Authorities said the bodies of six civilians were found with gunshot wounds in a basement in the village of Shevchenkove and Russian forces are believed to be responsible. Vladimir Putin vowed Tuesday that Russia’s bloody offensive in Ukraine would continue until its goals are fulfilled and insisted the campaign was going as planned, despite a major withdrawal in the face of stiff Ukrainian opposition and significant losses. — WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is preparing yet another, more diverse, package of military support possibly totaling $750 million to be announced in coming days, a senior U.S. defense official said Tuesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss plans not yet publicly announced. The additional aid is a sign that the administration intends to continue expanding its support for Ukraine’s war effort. Delivery is due to be completed this week of $800 million in military assistance approved by President Joe Biden just one month ago. — reported by Associated Press writer Robert Burns. — KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian officials say fugitive Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, who is both the former leader of a pro-Russian opposition party and a close associate of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, has been detained in a special operation carried out by the country’s SBU secret service. In his nightly video address to the nation Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed that Russia could win Medvedchuk’s freedom by trading Ukrainians now held in Russian prisons. Ivan Bakanov, the head of Ukraine’s national security agency, said on the agency’s Telegram channel that Medvedchuk had been detained. The statement came shortly after Zelenskyy posted on social media a photo of Medvedchuk sitting in handcuffs and wearing a camouflage uniform with a Ukrainian flag patch. Medvedchuk was the former leader of the pro-Russian party Opposition Platform - For Life. He was being held under house arrest before the war began and disappeared shortly after hostilities broke out. Putin is the godfather to Medvedchuk’s youngest daughter. — KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to the world Tuesday to respond to Russia’s use of a poisonous substance in Mariupol. “Given the repeated threats by Russian propagandists to use chemical weapons against the Mariupol defenders and given the repeated use by the Russian army, for example, of phosphorus munitions in Ukraine, the world must react now,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address to the nation Tuesday. Phosphorus munitions cause horrendous burns but are not classed as chemical weapons. Zelenskyy said experts were still trying to determine what had been used in Mariupol. Zelenskyy said in addition to the killings in Bucha, more evidence was appearing of the “inhuman cruelty” of Russian soldiers toward women and children in other Kyiv suburbs and other towns in the north and east.

Dublin Airport was ranked one of the most stressful airports in Europe to pass through because of long delays caused by staff shortages. And Easter weekend will be a busy period for the airport with 500,000 passengers expected to pass through from Tuesday to Easter Monday. With that in mind, I decided to brave the "mayhem" to gather the best tips to get through the airport with as little stress as possible. Read more: Dublin Airport advice on how to beat the crowds ahead of Easter rush There appears to be bottle necks at the airport between 3am and 9am from so it is best to arrive at least three and half hours early if your flight departs between these times. To get the best idea of the delays, I booked a 7.10am flight to Liverpool. This meant getting up at the unholy hour of 2am to get a 3am Aircoach Bus. Apart from running into the odd straggler from the night before, the walk to the bus stop was uneventful. And the Aircoach is a great service which got me to Terminal 2 three hours and 20 minutes before my flight. It is a bit pricey at €9 for a single ticket but at that hour reliability trumps frugality. Check-in and bag drop It is best to avoid this if at all possible. There are three main hurdles to getting through Dublin Airport - check-in and bag drop, security and getting food and drinks. Thankfully, I wasn't staying long in Liverpool so hand luggage was more than enough. The real issue with the check-in and bag drop is that some airlines don't open before the normal two hours before the flight. This means you may only have, at most, two hours to get through security. There have been plenty of reports of people taking over three hours to get through security so definitely best to check with your airline about their check in policy. Security This is the main hurdle in getting through the airport. There have been reports of more then three hour waits to get through recently but it took my 42 minutes and 15 seconds. The airport seemed busy but it was a Wednesday which are not as busy as the weekends - especially Easter weekend - so best to give it as much time as possible. There is a fast track option which supposedly gets you through security quicker but, in my experience, the normal queue appeared to move a good bit faster. Post security breakfast and pint The pre-flight pint with a fried breakfast is a staple of Dublin Airport but, sadly, has become a luxury these days. The food courts and duty free was the busiest I have ever seen it which I suppose is down to everyone arriving early and having time to kill once they get through security. I had to wait a half an hour to get a breakfast at The Garden Terrace Bar and Grill and they appeared to have the smallest queue from my unscientific observations. If I had bags to drop, I don't think the breakfast would have been possible so a big feed before heading off is advised. In my experience, getting through Dublin Airport was not nearly as bad as the worst reports. The 'mayhem' is not as bad as it is made out to be but it is definitely no walk in the park.

Mum calls for PM to go after son's lockdown death - Published A mother whose son died last year has called for Boris Johnson to resign after he was fined for breaking lockdown rules. Michael Harrison died of a brain tumour and his mother Hazel said she had been unable to do the things she would have liked with him due to the lockdown. Ms Harrison, of Warwickshire, added she felt as though she should have disregarded the rules instead. The prime minister has apologised but there have been calls for him to quit. Michael Harrison was undergoing chemotherapy when Covid-19 emerged in 2020. He died in February 2021. His mother, 39, of Bishop's Itchington, said: "We gave up so much, and Michael missed out on so much in those last few months of his life." Her son's clinically vulnerable status meant he needed to be protected by his family and he had to attend scans and appointments alone. "We weren't able to have the support that we perhaps might have had from friends and family," Ms Harrison said. "It makes me feel like... we should have disregarded the rules ourselves." Only 30 people were allowed to attend the funeral while no celebration was permitted afterwards, she added. Mr Johnson, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Carrie Johnson, the prime minster's wife, all received fixed penalty notices. Mr Johnson and Mr Sunak have rejected calls to resign, despite the fine for breaking lockdown rules in Downing Street in June 2020. Mr Johnson said he felt "an even greater sense of obligation to deliver", while the chancellor said he was "focused on delivering for the British people". But other bereaved families have said there was "simply no way" either could continue in their jobs, calling their actions "truly shameless". "I cannot believe that he's still in his position as Prime Minister," Ms Harrison said. "I just think how can he possibly stay where he is when he's broken the law?

Boy, 5, with autism dubbed 'Mini Einstein' wows TikTok fans with his photographic memory and his ability to write in 10 languages and list every country and capital in the world - Sebastian Esposito, from Albuquerque, New Mexio, started spelling at 18 months - Has hyperlexia - advanced reading age and fascination with numbers or letters - Can recite entire periodice table of elements even though he can't tie shoelaces - Proud parents say Sebastian, who has autism, is a 'blessing' they don't deserve A remarkable five-year-old who learned to read before he could walk has wowed millions of people online with his 'photographic' memory and ability to write in 10 different languages. When Sebastian Esposito, from Albuquerque, New Mexio, was 18 months old, he became obsessed with a wooden letter puzzle and began spelling out words like cat and dog - going on to write more than 200 words by the time he was two, as well as learning the entire Russian alphabet. Sebastian has a skill called hyperlexia, which is when a child has a reading ability well in advance of their age and has a fascination with numbers or letters, and has also been diagnosed with autism. Now five and in kindergarten, where his classmates are still learning their ABCs, Sebastian has a reading age of 18, has memorised the Greek, German, Armenian, and Turkish alphabets and can recite the entire periodic table of elements by heart - although he cannot yet tie his shoelaces. Proud dad Ryan Esposito, 30, a mine worker, who lives with his photographer wife Amanda Esposito, 33, her daughter from a previous relationship, Shyann, 14, and Sebastian, said: 'Every parent thinks their child is special. But I knew Sebastian was really special. Sebastian Esposito has taken the internet by storm after revealing his incredible capacity for retaining information Where his classmates are still learning their ABCs, Sebastian has a reading age of 18 and has memorised the Greek, German, Armenian, and Turkish alphabets Sebastian, pictured at the age of three, knows the entire periodic table of elements by heart, while his father admits he couldn't name ten of them. 'When he started to spell words backwards, I thought maybe he was an alien. And he picked up all these words so quickly. It was incredible. 'We think he has a photographic memory. Anything he sees he just stores in his head and never forgets it.' Agred three, Sebastian was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. When Sebastian's family first started posting videos of him online, it was to raise awareness of his condition and they never expected the short clips to go viral - with some attracting nearly 20 million views. The family learn something new everyday from Sebastian who taught them that Kazakhstan is the largest land-locked country in the world The most popular TikToks, which he posts under the name @litttle.einstein, often show him writing out an entire alphabet or every font on Microsoft Word, as well as listing every country and capital in the world from memory. Ryan said: 'He can list every single country in the world and their flag, their capitals and where they are. He can tell a country from the outline. 'Seeing him flourish like this is so brilliant. We don't feel like we deserve such a blessing. Sebastian has a condition called Hyperlexia, which is when a child has a reading ability well in advance of their age and has a fascination with numbers or letters. Despite not being able to speak with his words, Sebastian will communicate with his family by writing down information 'We're just trying to spread awareness about his condition, because even we as a family look at him differently because of the way he is. 'Sebastian can't really speak with his words, it's quite difficult for him. He has all of these thoughts, but he struggles to communicate that way. 'He has an amazing mind, but he needs to write it down and he can let you know exactly how he is feeling. 'If he falls down and hurts himself, it's tough for him to let us know, so it can be really difficult. When Sebastian Esposito was 18 months old, he became obsessed with a wooden letter puzzle and began spelling out words like cat and dog - going on to write more than 200 words by the time he was two, as well as learning the entire Russian alphabet He was diagnosed aged three as well as being found to have autism, a developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. Two-year-old Sebastian drawing on a wall 'We want people to know that every kid isn't the same. But they are all brilliant. 'Sebastian can't put on his own shoes, but he can write in Russian - and that's fine.' The day of Sebastian's birth on July 19 2016 rapidly turned into a nightmare when he and his mother were left near death when he became 'jammed' in the birth canal. Medics warned Ryan that the pair would not survive if the baby was not delivered within 30 minutes, reducing him to floods of tears. Ryan said: 'I couldn't believe what was happening. It was the worst day of my life, but also the best as Sebastian was born. 'The alarms started going off. The nurses even threw me out of the room. 'I took off crying and then they told me I could cut the cord because he was fine. He was blue when I saw him though, he didn't even look alive.' Incredibly, both mother and son survived the dramatic delivery, but Sebastian was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit at the Presbyterian Hospital of Albuquerque, where he remained for nine days. A dramatic delivery saw Sebastian spend nine days in tensive care after turning blue. His parents were told he would have developmental issues Ryan initially tried to engage in more 'traditional' father-son activities with Sebastian, like playing with toys or throwing a ball about, but he realised that his son's one true passion was reading Sebastian can now tell his family anything with written words, they even potty trained him this way, as his quick-thinking parents started to use wooden letters to spell out instructions. Ryan was told his son would probably have significant developmental issues, but the first-time dad was not worried at all, because he just wanted to hold his baby. He said: 'When we were told he could have difficulties, we weren't concerned at all. We just wanted him to be okay. 'Once we took him home, we were just your average paranoid parents, always making sure he was still breathing. 'We could tell his cognitive ability was there, so it didn't matter to us if there was something wrong. Being Sebastian's dad has made his parents feel compassionate and more understanding about other people. Pictured Amanda, Ryan, Sebastian, Shyann and Amanda His parents are trying to spread awareness about his condition, so the world understands what its like to be him 'I was just glad he and his mother both survived.' Sebastian only started crawling when he was nine months old and did not begin to walk until he was nearly two. Despite struggling with speech delay, the perceptive tot was easily potty trained, as his quick-thinking parents started to use wooden letters to spell out instructions. Ryan said: 'As he's speech delayed, these games and puzzles are the way I can communicate with my son. As he's speech delayed, games and puzzles are the only way his parents can communicate with him When people see what he can do his parents worry people think they're forcing him to learn. But it's all his own doing. 'It's how we potty trained him. We wrote it down. We told him to pee and do a number two in the toilet. 'We'd write down questions like what he wanted to eat and he would tell us. 'Now he can tell us anything with written words. That's how we taught him.' Ryan initially tried to engage in more 'traditional' father-son activities with Sebastian, like playing with toys or throwing a ball about, but he realised that his little boy's one true passion was reading. On Sebastian's first proper Christmas in 2018, he was given a Russian alphabet puzzle and Ryan said he could not have been happier. 'Learning is his version of playing with toy dinosaurs. He loves spelling challenges, or guessing logos, or writing out fonts. Four-year-old Sebastian drawing letters. Instead of playing with toys, Ryan engages with Sebastian by giving him spelling challenges, logo guessing games, or font quizzes, where he types out every font on Microsoft Word He added: 'His very first Christmas, we got him a Russian alphabet puzzle and he reacted like a kid who'd received his favourite bike. 'He just loves reading and he becomes completely obsessed with it.' Instead of playing with toys, Ryan engages with Sebastian by giving him spelling challenges, logo guessing games, or font quizzes, where he types out every font on Microsoft Word. Armed with the knowledge learned from his hundreds and hundreds of books, Sebastian has yet to back down from a challenge.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s Supreme Court was scheduled to hear arguments Wednesday in a case that will likely determine how extensively absentee ballot drop boxes can be used in the upcoming midterm election where the battleground state’s Democratic governor and Republican U.S. senator are on the ballot. The court in February barred the use of drop boxesoutside of election clerk offices for the April spring election where local offices such as mayor, city council and school board were decided. But the larger question the court has yet to address is whether to allow the secure ballot boxes going forward in places such as libraries, grocery stores and other locations. The fight is being closely watched as Republicans push to limit access to absentee ballots following President Joe Biden’s narrow win in Wisconsin over Donald Trump in 2020 by just under 21,000 votes. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson are on the ballot in November. State law is silent on drop boxes, but the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission has told local election officials they can be placed at multiple locations. A Waukesha County judge ruled in January that the election commission’s guidance was contrary to the law and that the guidance was actually an administrative rule that was invalid because it was not put in place properly. The state Supreme Court will also be deciding whether to let stand the judge’s ruling that prohibited anyone other than the voter from returning an absentee ballot. The elections commission rescinded its guidance pending the outcome of the court’s ruling. Advocates for people with disabilities and others argue that restriction makes it more difficult for some voters who have limited mobility, or other physical impairments, from returning their ballots. Wisconsin’s top elections official testified last year that at least 528 drop boxes were used by more than 430 communities in the presidential election. The popularity of absentee voting exploded during the pandemic in 2020, with more than 40% of all voters casting mail ballots, a record high. All eyes in Wednesday’s arguments will be on swing Justice Brian Hagedorn, a conservative who sometimes sides with the court’s liberal minority. In January, Hagedorn sided with liberals and put on hold a lower court’s ruling barring drop boxes outside of clerks’ offices for the February primary. But in February, Hagedorn reversed and sided with the conservative majority in reinstating the lower court’s ruling that put the ban in effect for the April election and beyond pending the Supreme Court’s ruling. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of two Milwaukee voters by the conservative law firm Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty. It is opposed by the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, the Wisconsin Elections Commission, Disability Rights Wisconsin, Wisconsin Faith Voice For Justice and the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin. Republicans who control the Wisconsin Legislature have also tried to enact laws limiting the use of absentee ballots, but Evers has vetoed them. Republicans have made similar moves since Trump’s defeat to tighten access to ballots in other battleground states. The restrictions especially target voting methods that have been rising in popularity and erecting hurdles to mail balloting and early voting that saw explosive growth earlier in the pandemic.	https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/wisconsin-supreme-court-to-hear-arguments-on-ballot-boxes/	2022-04-13T11:19:35Z	https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/wisconsin-supreme-court-to-hear-arguments-on-ballot-boxes/	false
NEW YORK (AP) — Police hunted late into the night for the gunman who opened fire Tuesday on a subway train in Brooklyn, an attack that left 10 people wounded by gunfire and once again interrupted New York City’s long journey to post-pandemic normalcy. The search focused partly on a man who police say rented a van possibly connected to the violence. Investigators stressed they weren’t sure whether the man, Frank R. James, was responsible for the shooting. But authorities were examining social media videos in which the 62-year-old decried the United States as a racist place awash in violence and sometimes railed against the city’s mayor, Eric Adams. “This nation was born in violence, it’s kept alive by violence or the threat thereof and it’s going to die a violent death. There’s nothing going to stop that,” James said in one video. Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell called the posts “concerning” and officials tightened security for Adams. The gunman sent off smoke grenades in a crowded subway car and then fired at least 33 shots with a 9 mm handgun, police said. Five gunshot victims were in critical condition but expected to survive. At least a dozen people who escaped gunshot wounds were treated for smoke inhalation and other injuries. One passenger, Jordan Javier, thought the first popping sound he heard was a book dropping. Then there was another pop, people started moving toward the front of the car, and he realized there was smoke, he said. When the train pulled into the station, people ran out and were directed to another train across the platform. Passengers wept and prayed as they rode away from the scene, Javier said. “I’m just grateful to be alive,” he said.’ The shooter fled in the chaos, leaving behind the gun, extended magazines, a hatchet, detonated and undetonated smoke grenades, a black garbage can, a rolling cart, gasoline and the key to a U-Haul van. That key led investigators to James, who has addresses in Philadelphia and Wisconsin, said Chief of Detectives James Essig. The van was later found, unoccupied, near a subway station where investigators determined the gunman had entered the train system, Essig said. Rambling, profanity-filled YouTube videos apparently posted by James, who is Black, are replete with violent language and bigoted comments, some against other Black people. One video, posted April 11, criticizes crime against Black people and says drastic action is needed. “You got kids going in here now taking machine guns and mowing down innocent people,” James says. “It’s not going to get better until we make it better,” he said, adding that he thought things would only change if certain people were “stomped, kicked and tortured” out of their “comfort zone.” Several videos mention New York’s subways. His YouTube page shows he recently made a trip from Wisconsin up to the East Coast. At one point he says he lived in Chicago for some time. WGN confirmed he lived in an apartment on the 4900 block of North Kenmore Avenue in Uptown. A Feb. 20 video says the mayor and governor’s plan to address homelessness and safety in the subway system “is doomed for failure” and refers to himself as a “victim” of the city’s mental health programs. A Jan. 25 video criticizes Adams’ plan to end gun violence. Adams, who is isolating following a positive COVID-19 test on Sunday, said in a video statement that the city “will not allow New Yorkers to be terrorized, even by a single individual.”	https://wgntv.com/news/police-search-for-gunman-who-wounded-10-in-brooklyn-subway-attack/	2022-04-13T11:20:29Z	https://wgntv.com/news/police-search-for-gunman-who-wounded-10-in-brooklyn-subway-attack/	true

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has refused to resign after being fined for breaking his government's pandemic lockdown rules, saying he would instead redouble efforts to strengthen the economy and combat Russian aggression in Ukraine. London police fined Johnson and other people Tuesday for attending a birthday party thrown for the prime minister at his Downing Street offices on June 19, 2020. The penalty made Johnson the first British prime minister ever found to have broken the law while in office. Gatherings of more than two people were banned in Britain at the time of the birthday party to curb the spread of the coronavirus. “I understand the anger that many will feel that I, myself, fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government I lead had introduced to protect the public, and I accept in all sincerity that people had the right to expect better,” Johnson said late Tuesday. “And now I feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the British people.” The fine followed a police investigation and months of questions about lockdown-breaking parties at government offices, which Johnson had tried to bat away by saying there were no parties and that he believed no rules were broken. Opposition lawmakers demanded Johnson’s resignation, arguing the fines given to him and Treasury chief Rishi Sunak were evidence of “criminality” at the heart of government. The opposition argued that the Downing Street gathering demonstrated that Johnson and his supporters believe the rules don’t apply to them. While the “partygate” scandal ooses a threat to Johnson’s government, the world has changed tremendously since the first reports of the parties surfaced late last year. Johnson has been a leading figure in marshaling international opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Britain is facing its worst cost-of-living crisis since the 1950s. His supporters are already arguing that whatever the prime minister may have done wrong, now is not time for a leadership contest. That his Treasury chief also received an undermining fine helps Johnson since Sunak had been seen as the leading candidate to succeed Johnson. But Johnson still faces the possibility of additional fines; he is reported to have attended three other gatherings that the Metropolitan Police Service is still investigating. He will also have to answer questions about whether he knowingly misled Parliament with his previous statements about the parties, Jill Rutter, a senior fellow at the Institute for Government in London, said. “Governments have to realize that they can’t just make laws and then skirt around them and rationalize themselves that it’s all OK because they’re very important people working at the center of government,” Rutter said.	https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/UK-s-Johnson-rejects-calls-to-resign-amid-17077500.php	2022-04-13T11:29:52Z	https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/UK-s-Johnson-rejects-calls-to-resign-amid-17077500.php	false
GENEVA (AP) — The number of new coronavirus cases and deaths reported to the World Health Organization fell for a third consecutive week, a trend likely helped by the dismantling of testing and surveillance programs. In its latest weekly report on the pandemic, issued late Tuesday, the U.N. health agency said the more than 7 million new cases reported represented a 24% decline from a week earlier. The weekly worldwide number of COVID-19 deaths, was down 18%, at over 22,000. WHO said the decreases “should be interpreted with caution” as numerous countries where the virus is starting to subside have changed their testing strategies, meaning far fewer cases are being identified. New cases and deaths are falling in every region of the world, including the Western Pacific, where a surge of infections has triggered severe lockdown measures in China. WHO said it was monitoring several mutants of the virus descended from the omicron variant, including some recombined forms of existing omicron subvariants. In a separate statement, the health organization said scientists in Botswana and South Africa have detected new forms of the omicron variant, labeled as BA.4 and BA.5, but aren’t sure yet if they might be more transmissible or dangerous. To date, the new versions of omicron have been detected in four people in Botswana and 23 people in South Africa. Beyond Africa, scientists have confirmed cases in Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom. WHO said there was so far no evidence the new sub-variants spread any differently than the original omicron variant. “There is no cause for alarm with the emergence of the new sub-variants," Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s Africa director, said in a statement. "We are not yet observing a major spike in cases, hospitalizations or deaths." The agency called on all countries to sequence at least 5% of their COVID-19 samples; many countries, including Britain, Sweden and the United States, recently scrapped their widespread testing programs as the number of severe cases dramatically declined. Still, the U.S. will soon mark 1 million COVID-19 deaths, and the virus is continuing to cause concern in China. Officials warn Shanghai still doesn’t have its latest surge in omicron-involved cases under control despite a “zero-tolerance” approach that has seen some residents confined to their homes for three weeks or longer. The lockdown has led to frustration among Shanghai residents about running out of food and unable to get deliveries. Censors have diligently scrubbed complaints from social media. State-controlled outlets describe a successful campaign to provide food and other supplies and counseled residents that “persistence is victory.” ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the pandemic at https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemic	https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/WHO-COVID-cases-and-deaths-fall-for-3rd-17077464.php	2022-04-13T11:29:58Z	https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/WHO-COVID-cases-and-deaths-fall-for-3rd-17077464.php	false
HOOD RIVER — In the Pacific Northwest where cultural diversity may be hard to come by, Local Rhoots and owner Sam Rodgers are trying to change that with food. Some may see cooking as a chore, but Rodgers sees cooking and food as an avenue to bridge cultural differences. “Expanding people’s horizons through food is a way to give people an opportunity for appreciation of other cultures,” said Rodgers. Her food delivery service is making that possible for anyone and everyone. Local Rhoots was started in what is known as a “ghost kitchen” at Riverside Community Church in downtown Hood River. A “ghost kitchen” is a place where meals are prepared and then delivered out to the community, instead of customers dining-in. Riverside leased the kitchen to Rodgers in order to prepare their to-go meals, which would be delivered throughout Hood River County in partnership with Gorge Greens. For three and a half years the church served as homebase for the all-women staff. Prior to her time at Riverside, Rodgers started a blog called “Eat Clean, Cook Dirty.” This was a space where she could share her own recipes and meal prep plans. The blog also opened the door to have conversations with other parents who struggle to feed themselves and their kids. “Getting food on the table is hard,” said Rodgers. “Whether you’ve got both parents or a single parent in the family that is working full time outside the home, it sucks. It’s difficult.” Eventually she began selling her prep plans and users would approach Rodgers and ask if she could prepare their weekly meals for them. The plans she devised included step-by-step instructions for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Rodgers admits she was hesitant at first. “I told them: ‘Yeah, I don’t do that,’” said Rodgers. “I said no so much that I finally one day said yes.” Her goal was to get five families signed up for four weeks. Much to her surprise, a total of 12 families signed up and she delivered 24 four-serving meal kits in the first week. In July 2021, the space that was Monaghan’s Pancake House became home to Local Rhoots. Rodgers removed the booths, carpet and painted the walls a bright blue. A fresh start that started something she didn’t think would ever happen. “I told myself, ‘Well, I guess that’s it. I guess I’m gonna close up shop,’” said Rodgers when COVID shut down many businesses in Hood River. “Not thinking at all that we were going to be considered a vital business.” She soon realized this could be an opportunity to connect with the community. During the early stages of COVID, the City of Hood River asked Local Rhoots and a few other businesses to step in and help accommodate those who are less fortunate. Rodgers and her staff would care for their children during the day and then work from 6 p.m. to midnight cooking meals for the next day to be distributed at mobile home parks and other locations throughout Hood River. Rodgers even setup a Local Rhoots Summer Camp for the children of her employees due to the lack of childcare available. Rogers buys most of her food from local farms when possible. She has teamed up with Flower to Flour, Columbia Mushroom Company, Oak Grove Farms, Gorge Grown and Gorge Green who delivers all of their prepared meals. According to her, some customers usually don’t care what meals they get as long as they are delivered to their doorstep. “We’ve built a reputation on our product and quality of food, that they’re happy to be surprised,” said Rodgers. Rodgers built that reputation on fresh food and serving that food in reusable packaging. Nearly 90% of their containers are reusable and helps keep costs low and their carbon footprint even smaller. Local Rhoots has a plenty of menu options, whatever you are looking for. You can stop in and buy a single meal or subscribe to their weekly or monthly delivery service. They offer home delivery anywhere in Hood River County, Bingen, White Salmon, and out to Portland. Local Rhoots also offers a catering option for large events. Her most requested menu item is the noodle bar where they can create their own soup from various options of pastas, broths, veggies and protein. Rodgers has big plans to expand her vision. The current kitchen at the southwest corner of Belmont and 13th Street will be headquarters until she can add locations around the Gorge where food will be shipped and customers can have a grab-and-go option available. Until then, Rodgers is experimenting by hosting popup events where she invites local chefs and eateries to serve food in their homebase. Last Friday, April 8 Local Rhoots hosted a noodle popup for a Jewish themed restaurant.

Manchester United are edging closer to appointing Erik ten Hag as their manager, despite the majority of the squad wanting Mauricio Pochettino to be appointed. When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked earlier this season, many expected Pochettino to be the one to replace him. And even with Ralf Rangnick brought in on a short-term contract, the Argentine was favourite to succeed him once the season had drawn to a close. According to Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils squad were keen for Pochettino to take over and admired his previous work in the Premier League with both Tottenham and Southampton. Several players were thought to be ‘impressed’ by the manager, who is still in contact with Luke Shaw regularly due to their time together at St Mary's. But despite the players making their feelings known, the club are set to name Ten Hag as their new manager. It is well-documented that the 52-year-old has held talks with United about how he envisions the long-term project panning out at the Theatre of Dreams and has also presented a list of transfer targets. Ten Hag has impressed at Ajax, rebuilding the club twice so that they could be competitive in the Eredivisie but also on the European stage as well. MEN have revealed that despite the appointment being finalised, the players have not been ‘consulted’ on the coach. Ronaldo had previously expressed his concerns at the prospect of now-Tottenham boss Antonio Conte being named as the club’s new manager previously so it remains to be seen how the dressing room react to the arrival of Ten Hag. Especially due to how he is likely to ruffle a few feathers in the major rebuild. Will Manchester United improve under Erik ten Hag? Let us know in the comments section below. But the Red Devils are certainly in need of drastic change, highlighted by how they were beaten 1-0 by relegation-battling Everton last weekend. Speaking after the defeat, David De Gea told BT Sport: “It's a disgrace from us, to be honest, we should win the game, "We don't create, that's the problem. We don't even create proper chances to score. I don't know what to say, to be honest. "We're not good enough, that's for sure. It's going to be very difficult now to be in the top four."	https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-ten-hag-players-26702770	2022-04-13T11:37:19Z	https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-ten-hag-players-26702770	true

Video: Fire rips through Peterborough construction site as residents evacuated Residents in Peterborough were evacuated last night (April 13) after a fire broke out at a construction site. Crews were called to Manor Drive, close to Arkwright Way, in the early hours of the morning, at just before 1am, to tackle a blaze that had broken out in one of the houses under construction at the site. Nearby residents were evacuated from their homes as fire crews arrived to tackle the fire. Resident Jemma Penny said: “It was like a film, it was like nothing I have ever experienced before. “All of us living nearby were evacuated and have not had much sleep as a result.” More than 30 firefighters attended the incident, nobody was injured but an investigation has now begun into how it was started. A Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: “At 12.44am on Wednesday (13) crews were called to a fire on Manor Drive in Gunthorpe, Peterborough. “More than 30 firefighters, including crews from Stanground, Dogsthorpe, the Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade, Thorney, Yaxley and Huntingdon, along with the water carrier from Ramsey, attended the incident. “The crews arrived to find a well developed fire involving two houses under construction, which was spreading to other nearby properties and a skip. Using jets and hose reels they surrounded the fire to prevent further spread and extinguished it. “Crews maintained a presence at the scene throughout the night to check for hot spots and ensure the area was safe. “An investigation will be taking place to establish the cause of the fire.” RELATED:	https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/video-fire-rips-through-peterborough-construction-site-as-residents-evacuated-3652450	2022-04-13T11:44:03Z	https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/video-fire-rips-through-peterborough-construction-site-as-residents-evacuated-3652450	false
S.African leader consoles families after deadly floods Ramaphosa and the minister of cooperative governance, Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, right, met flood victims in Clermont, a township of Durban South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday met with devastated families in Durban, after record rains sparked floods and mudslides that killed at least 59 people. In the township of Clermont, where homes are precariously perched on hillsides, he met a family who suffered the deaths of four children after a wall weakened by rains collapsed on them on Monday night. "I have to come and see for myself the damage," Ramaphosa said as he consoled the family. "We see such tragedies hitting other countries like Mozambique, Zimbabwe, but now we are the affected ones," the president said. He was due to visit several other parts of the region pummelled by heavy rains in recent days. Storms struck the southeastern province of KwaZulu-Natal as Durban, its main city, was still struggling to recover from deadly riots last July which claimed more than 350 lives. Days of driving rain flooded several areas, tore houses apart and ravaged infrastructure across the city, claiming dozens of lives. Officials have reported 59 flood deaths, but say many are missing as rescue and recovery operations are underway. More rains fell overnight in parts of the province, according to the weather services. A lull in the rain Wednesday saw residents begin clearing debris from roads and fill up holes left by raging waters to allow cars pass, an AFP correspondent said. Parts of the province received more than 300 millimetres (13 inches) of rain on Monday, the heaviest one-day downpour in over 60 years, the South African Weather Service said. "Some areas in KwaZulu-Natal have received more than double the maximum rainfall recorded during previous record rainfalls," the agency's spokeswoman, Hannelee Doubell, told AFP.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10714919/S-African-leader-consoles-families-deadly-floods.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490	2022-04-13T11:44:51Z	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10714919/S-African-leader-consoles-families-deadly-floods.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490	true
Four French, one Belgian among 10 dead in Egypt bus crash: governor Map of Egypt locating Aswan Four French and one Belgian were among 10 people killed in a bus crash Wednesday in Egypt, whose tourism industry is only just emerging from a decade of political upheaval and the Covid pandemic. Fourteen others -- eight French and six Belgians -- were taken to hospital with "broken bones, bruises and superficial injuries" but all were in a stable condition, the governor of the southern province of Aswan said. The other five people killed were all Egyptian. The accident occurred in early morning when the bus collided with a car as it was transporting the tourists on the 300 kilometre (186 mile) road journey between Aswan and the famed Abu Simbel temple further south. Road accidents are relatively common in Egypt, where many roads are in disrepair and traffic regulations frequently ignored. Some 7,000 people died in road accidents in the country in 2020, according to official figures. The Abu Simbel temple was moved from its original location in the 1960s under the rule of president Gamal Abdel Nasser to make way for the construction of the Aswan High Dam. - Vital tourism industry - Egypt had begun reviving its vital tourism industry by promoting its ancient heritage, after the country's 2011 revolution and ensuing unrest struck the sector. But the arrival of the Covid pandemic in 2020 and the subsequent global travel bans resulted in a plunge in tourism revenues to $4 billion, from $13 billion the previous year. The sector employs some two million people in a country of 103 million and generates more than 10 percent of GDP. In August 2021, Russia resumed flights to Egyptian resorts six years after a Russian airliner crashed after taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 224 people on board. But Russia's invasion of Ukraine has yet again cut off much of the flow of tourists to Egypt, as the two countries accounted for about 40 percent of visitors prior to the war. The current administration of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has invested heavily in promoting tourism, having organised major events in a bid to attract visitors. Last year, the North African country staged a procession of floats carrying the mummified remains of 22 pharaohs, including Egypt's most powerful ancient queen, to a new resting place in Cairo. Since the start of April, visitors from dozens of additional countries have been permitted to obtain visas on arrival to Egypt, than applying in advance. While attacks on tourists have largely ceased since they peaked in the 1990s, deadly incidents have occurred. In September 2015, eight Mexicans were mistakenly killed by security forces in the vast Western Desert. And in February 2019, a German woman and two Egyptian children were killed when a building collapsed in a residential neighbourhood of the southern city of Luxor.	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10714985/Four-French-one-Belgian-10-dead-Egypt-bus-crash-governor.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490	2022-04-13T11:45:11Z	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10714985/Four-French-one-Belgian-10-dead-Egypt-bus-crash-governor.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490	true
SALADO, Texas (KXAN) — Homes in Salado, Texas, a little less than 10 miles north of Jarrell, were damaged by a tornado Tuesday. Salado is about an hour north of Austin, immediately south of Temple and Belton. The tornado was spotted a little after 5:30 p.m., moving in between Florence and Salado. Those communities were most affected by storm damage. Officials with the Bell County Sheriff’s Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety said there’s a lot of debris and power lines down on FM 2843 between Salado and Florence. The road is closed off, with only local traffic being allowed through. Officials said well-built, ranch-style homes were heavily damaged or destroyed. “If we have to stay out here all night, we’re not going to stop until everybody’s accounted for and everybody is safe, and then we’re going to definitely — the ones that have lost their homes, or they’re not structurally sound, we’re going to find a place to put them,” said Sgt. Bryan Washko with Texas Highway Patrol. KXAN’s Tahera Rahman was off of FM 2843 and Cedar Valley Road, where neighbors said was “wiped off the map” from the tornado. Law enforcement personnel from Temple, Killeen, and Williamson County blocked off a side of FM 2843 where glimpses of destroyed homes could be seen. They said they were also trying to contain a gas leak. KXAN’s Jim Spencer said the city of Salado was very lucky Tuesday evening, as the tornado was headed straight for the town, but turned to the north, staying west of the community. The First Warning Weather team predicts the tornado could be of EF-2 or EF-3 strength. One homeowner in Florence said he was inside his home when he saw giant pieces of tin fly across his land and the tornado funnel. “I was in my living room, saw a dust storm outside, I heard the wind, stuff hitting the windows, and I saw a large piece of tin go across the pasture,” recalled Zach Liveris. “It’s a little overwhelming.” He said his home didn’t sustain as much damage as his neighbor’s– where you could see the walls blown out, showing a burgundy couch inside, and insulation stuck in branches. Liveris said he’s glad everyone is safe. Hail in Salado April 12 (Photo: Emily Buckwalter) Hail in Salado (Photo: Tom Russian) “It was so dusty outside, I couldn’t even see the trees and the pasture from the house. It was just very intense winds,” Liveris said. Folks in the Hidden Springs subdivision, while not impacted by the tornado, were pounded by baseball-sized hail.	https://cw33.com/news/texas/watch-tornado-damages-homes-in-texas/	2022-04-13T11:52:40Z	https://cw33.com/news/texas/watch-tornado-damages-homes-in-texas/	false

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg so liked the caricature that accompanied an article about her that she got a copy from the artist and hung it in her Supreme Court office. That signed and inscribed print by artist Eleanor Davis is among 150 items from Ginsburg’s office and home at the Watergate in an online auctionto benefit opera in Washington that will end in late April. An earthenware plate by Pablo Picasso that hung in Ginsburg’s dining room, a black mink coat with her name sewn in a pocket and a souvenir vase from the Capitol luncheon following former President Barack Obama’s first inaugural also are up for auction. The sale could raise $50,000 to $80,000 for the Washington National Opera, one of the late justice’s passions. She took part in at least three productions over the years, including a speaking, but non-singing, role for one night in 2016. Ginsburg’s family selected the Potomack Company to handle the auction. “It’s an opportunity to own something personal of hers and support the opera,” said Elizabeth Haynie Wainstein, the auction house’s owner. Bidding for some items begins as low as $25, though the opening bid on the Picasso plate is $4,000, Haynie Wainstein said. Three other Picasso pieces also are in the auction. The natural black mink coat, made by the Gartenhaus fur company in the Washington area, is going for a starting bid of $250. Ginsburg died of cancer at age 87 in September 2020. Appreciation for the Supreme Court’s second female justice and liberal icon, dubbed the Notorious RBG in her later years, has continued well after her death. The Navy recently announced it would name a ship after her in the John Lewis-class of replenishment oilers. The ships are named in honor of people who fought for civil and human rights, the Navy said. Last month, the Smithsonian also posthumously honored Ginsburg with the National Museum of American History’s Great Americans Medal. Her children, Jane and James Ginsburg, have donated other of their mother’s possessions to the museum, including Ginsburg’s Paris-made judicial robe and a collection of collars she wore over it. In January, an online auction of Ginsburg’s books brought in $2.3 million, almost 30 times the pre-sale estimate, according to Bonhams, the company that conducted the auction. The April auction includes a print of the artist Josef Albers’ “Red Orange Wall” that hung above Ginsburg’s bed. Albers was among Ginsburg’s favorite artists. An original Albers work that was on loan from the National Gallery of Art was prominently displayed in her office at the court. Six works by the sculptor Glenna Goodacre that Ginsburg acquired during her regular summer trips to Santa Fe, New Mexico for an opera festival are for sale, along with a silver tea set and a pair of Saint Louis Crystal eagle bookends. One of Ginsburg’s grandchildren, Paul Spera, also has an original piece of art among the items being auctioned. His “Bubbie of Liberty,” using the Yiddish word for grandma, has Ginsburg’s likeness atop the Statue of Liberty.	https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/politics/ginsburgs-art-fur-coat-awards-in-auction-to-benefit-opera/	2022-04-13T11:58:09Z	https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/politics/ginsburgs-art-fur-coat-awards-in-auction-to-benefit-opera/	false
NO longer content to be the feel-good story of UAAP Season 84, National University coach Jeff Napa implored his Bulldogs to get their act together if they want to be considered as legitimate contenders in this race. Tuesday's 84-76 loss to the University of the Philippines should be a good rallying point for the Jhocson crew as they kept themselves in the thick of things before losing grip in the final six minutes of the game. "We didn't act together," Napa lamented. "If we acted together, hindi magiging ganoon yung storya." "Sabi ko nga sa kanila, kailangan kahit sino na ipapasok ko sa loob ready. Pero coming from the first quarter, evident na some of our guys are not ready to go battle and that's the story of the game, we didn’t act together kaya nagkaiwanan sa dulo." Napa acknowledges the deficiencies of this young NU team, from its supposed lack of a go-to guy to an evident gap in experience. But in his mind, these shouldn't be used as excuses but rather something the Bulldogs can compensate through their tireless defense and teamwork. "If we don’t act together talaga on defense, medyo mabigat yung magiging response. Syempre alam naman natin na mga bata itong mga ito so they need a leader to step up. Pero yun lang talaga yung nagiging problema dito, yung lapses," he said. "Wala naman akong pakialam sa opensa nila, I’d still emphasize yung defense. Kahit magka-kanyon kayo ng three-points dyan at hindi ma-shoot, ang usapan naman bawiin niyo sa depensa kasi doon nanggagaling yung offense namin." Jeff Napa and the Bulldogs look to stay in the top half of the standings. NU remains sitting pretty at fourth place with its 4-4 record heading into the Holy Week break. Napa fully intends to maximize that time to wake his players up from their slumber and expose them to the realities that beckon, that if they continue to play the way they have in the first round, making it to the Final Four is no longer a dream. And if they do, well consider them dark horses no more as the Bulldogs have finally arrived. That only depends if NU will be up to the task as Napa said, "Even though they are young, sinabi ko naman sa kanila na all of them are capable to be leaders, mapa-loob man o labas man sila ng court, na they can be role models." "Again, kailangan talaga na we act together kasi hindi pwede yung may mang-iiwan in order for us to compete. So at least, we act together dahil talagang dito na sa second round magdi-dictate kung saan kami makakarating talaga." We are now on Quento!

Man jailed after police seize crime gang's 250kg drug haul - Published A car wash owner has been jailed for seven-and-a half years after importing a large quantity of an anaesthetic used to bulk out cocaine. John Jackson, 33, helped smuggle 250kg of benzocaine - a quantity which could have been used to produce at least 500kg of street cocaine. The High Court in Edinburgh heard the drug was flown from China to Glasgow Airport in an organised crime deal. But police were alerted and undercover officers delivered the consignment. After Jackson and two other men stored the load in a neighbour's shed, a joint team from the National Crime Agency and Police Scotland carried out a raid. Judge Alison Stirling said benzocaine was used extensively in the UK by organised crime groups "to adulterate and bulk cocaine whereby vastly increasing stock and profit margins". She told Jackson: "Custody is the only appropriate disposal having regard to the serious nature of your offending." The judge said Jackson would have faced a 10-year prison term, but for his guilty plea. Jackson, of Barrmill in North Ayrshire, earlier admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine between 19 and 21 August 2019. The offence was aggravated by a connection with serious organised crime. Advocate depute Shanti Maguire said the shipment of benzocaine could be used as a mixing agent to produce at least 500kg of cocaine. The prosecutor said that could bring in £25m, or double that if it was perceived to be of a high purity level. The court heard that Jackson was in rent arrears at the time of the drug deal but had cleared the £400 debt as a result of his involvement. Defence counsel Callum Hiller said: "He did know he was ordering and collecting the benzocaine. What he did not know was the scale and intricacies of the operation above his level." The defence counsel submitted that Jackson was "at the very bottom of the ladder" in the drugs operation. Mr Hiller said that Jackson, who has a previous conviction for growing cannabis, maintained that he was gullible and misled. Following sentencing, National Crime Agency operations manager Rob Miles said: "Benzocaine has legal pharmaceutical uses, and Jackson cynically attempted to exploit a legitimate company to get the product into Scotland and conceal his involvement in the cocaine trade. "This seizure represents a substantial disruption of the crime group involved, denying them profit and reducing the availability of their product in Scottish communities."	https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-61094221	2022-04-13T12:06:24Z	https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-61094221	false

Menopause: the best skincare for menopausal skin If menopause has left your skin dull, dry, sensitive or acne-prone, there are simple steps you can take to look better This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. There is obviously a hefty psychological element to menopause. But in tandem to that, it’s effect on women physically can be overwhelming. Of course, it’s worth consulting your doctor, learning about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and supplemental options if you’re having serious mood changes as a result. In addition to that, though, there are simple steps you can take to look and feel better in your changing body. What happens to our skin during menopause? Declines to the levels of sex hormones (progesterone and oestrogen) in our bodies prompts many changes: hot flushes, night sweats, dull skin, dry skin, flaking scalp and looser skin. Ceramide, collagen and hyaluronic acid levels all drop as your oestrogen levels are depleted - your skin will be slower to heal. As your collagen fibres break down, the appearance of wrinkles and lines deepen. Less hyaluronic acid means your skin isn’t as hydrated, which is why it may be dry, rough, flaky, or itchy. Combined, you may find your skin looks ‘dull’, sagging, flat - just not the plump, dewy visage you enjoyed in your youth. It’s as stark a physical upheaval as entering into puberty is, and, just as we change our skincare routine at that time (well, we should - though many of us didn’t and suffered acne indignities as a result) we need to rethink our approach upon hitting ‘The Change.’ How should you change your skincare routine when menopausal? You don’t need to leap to a 12-step routine or to hit the Crème de la Mer counter to fix your regime. Your primary aim should be to add in hydration and lipids to the ingredients you’re feeding your skin, and a decent retinol. These don’t have to be prohibitively costly. A £200 serum won’t necessarily fix your issues faster than a £50 one. When should I use retinol? Retinol as we all know is the gold standard for topically applied substance designed to combat signs of ageing. And while retinol is effective: it exfoliates the skin, increases skin cell turnover, and stimulates collagen synthesis - there are times when it pays to lay off. Experiencing sensitivity, redness, sore breakout that won’t heal? Lay off the retinol until your skin calms down. Instead, cleanse, moisturise, and use SPF in the daytime. Hydrating mists are ok, too - they don’t do much but have a cooling effect that can be positively medicinal during a hot flush. Sensitive, itchy skin? Avoid fragranced products - these can exacerbate the discomfort. Lifestyle changes can help, too - keeping up water intake, sleeping more, eating plenty of antioxidants, avoiding too much alcohol, but let us be frank: the prospect of an abstemious existence post menopause doesn’t seem likely to help us cope. Instead, focus on doing what you can, when you can, lifestyle wise - and keep your skincare consistent. Here are the products our testers found worked to help improve their menopausal or perimenopausal skin. Pause Hydrating Cleanser from Pause Well-Aging Seek out a gentle, hydrating, soap-free cleanser for menopausal or post-menopausal skin. A great option (though not cheap) is the Hydrating Cleanser from Pause Well-Aging. It’s light and creamy, and manages to remove dirt and oil without leaving your skin stripped - important if you’re wrestling with dryness. Containing vitamins, antioxidants and peptides, it also works to promote collagen production, for firmer, brighter skin. Rosalique Skincare 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Miracle Formula SPF50 30ml Menopause can cause sensitive skin to become even more so, and even prompt late-onset rosacea, which can be both painful and distressing. Rosalique Skincare’s 3 in 1 Miracle Formula is aptly named - it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, provides moisture, and protects to SPF50, which is important, as sun exposure makes inflamed skin even angrier. It’s a colour corrector, so it comes out green, but don’t be alarmed, it mattifies to your skin colour as you spread it on, notably reducing redness. Be advised - a little goes a long way. Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant Acne breakouts are common among menopausal women, as hormones fluctuate. Using a liquid exfoliant with salicylic acid in it nightly can be the most effective way of exfoliating dull, dead skin cells and clearing pores, reducing your acne. It’s also an anti-inflammatory, so it will redness redness and blackheads with consistent use. Just sweep on after cleansing but before serum/moisturiser. As with anything else on this list, use consistently to ensure best results. From our forties onwards, cell turnover is reduced, so exfoliating face and body once a week improves cell replenishment - this will help restore glow to dull skin. The Hair Lab by Mark Hill Strengthening Growth Shampoo - 300ml Menopause can trigger itchy scalp or leave hair brittle, dry or thinning. Using sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners helps soothe the scalp and boost locks to glossy glory. Mark Hill’s Hair Lab range is ideal for strengthening hair prone to breakage through hormonal, heat, chemical damage or thinning hair. It contains no sulphates or silicone, is cruelty-free, vegan and comes in a 100% PCR bottle. MenoGlow Super Hydrating Sleep Creme 50ml Testers adored the Tri-Active™ Regenerating Moisture Complex on parched, stressed menopausal skin - but at £70 it’s quite the investment. Altogether more obtainable is Prai’s excellent night creme, MenoGlow Super Hydrating, which is light enough not to block pores but densely packed with hyaluronic acid to provide dry skin with moisture. Our tester - who had dry, sensitive skin, noted that within a week of using MenoGlow she was waking up with plump; soft and hydrated skin. Also worth checking out: MenoGlow Hot Flush Cool Fix Serum, which does an outstanding job of cooling flushed skin within an instant. VICHY Mineralblend Fluid Umber Foundation 30ml French pharmacy cosmetic brands offer some of the most impressive formulations on the market, at the most obtainable prices. A mineral foundation can be great on sensitive, dry, irritated skin, and Vichy Mineralblend is infused with nourishing skin care ingredients, including Hyaluronic acid and glycerin. It spreads like butter without leaving a greasy film The 70per cent water-based formula plumps skin, filling out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin looks radiant and smooth. Braun Silk-épil Silk-épil 3in1 Trimmer FG 1100 with 4 Extras Including High Precision Head Facial hair is controlled by a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is modulated by oestrogen, which dominates your testosterone levels. As such, when your oestrogen levels drop during menopause, your DHT levels can go up, increasing the presence of DHT in your hair follicles. In short: your facial hair can start to grow faster and thicker, particularly around the upper lip and the chin. Tweezing can suit for the odd chin hair, but if you’re growing a moustache and would like not to be, a facial trimmer can work wonders to be rid of it within seconds, without irritation to the underlying skin, or the smell or time required to use a depilatory cream. The Braun Silk-epil is gentle on the skin, but will do away with unwanted whiskers - the work of moments after cleansing in the morning. Galinee Perfume-Free Cleansing Bar Let us not mince words here: menopause causes there to be less oestrogen in your body, and subsequently leads to the tissues of the vulva and vagina growing thinner and drier. Regular cleansers do not assist the issue by being quite alkaline in nature, causing itchiness and often infection. The Gallinée Perfume-Free Cleansing Bar, by contrast, mimics the natural pH of a ladies’ nethers, ensuring your natural biome isn’t disturbed. The soap lathers beautifully and of course can be used all over your body, including the outer vulva (on a different note entirely, t works well to wash babies, too). This French brand is excellent at soaps: check them out. Indeed Labs™ me-NO-pause cooling mist 75ml Hot flushes can be embarrassing and uncomfortable; but they needn’t be endured without succour. Indeed Labs™ me-NO-pause cooling mist 75ml sprays on lightly to immediately cool (store it in the fridge for optimal results). It contains cooling cucumber extract and calming magnesium, as well as the glycerin and hyaluronic acid, to top up moisture levels as it provides succour. Not sure about the name, but it’s delightfully calming in a tough moment.	https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/recommended/menopause-best-skincare-for-menopausal-skin-3234540	2022-04-13T12:28:18Z	https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/recommended/menopause-best-skincare-for-menopausal-skin-3234540	true
GENEVA (AP) — Swiss prosecutors are concluding without any charges a decade-long investigation into alleged money laundering and organized crime linked to late former President Hosni Mubarak’s circles in Egypt, and will release some 400 million Swiss francs ($430 million) frozen in Swiss banks. The office of the Swiss attorney general said Wednesday that information received as part of cooperation with Egyptian authorities wasn’t sufficient to back up the claims that emerged in the wake of Arab Spring uprisings in 2011 that felled Mubarak’s three-decade rule. A Swiss investigation into claims that banks in Switzerland were used to squirrel away ill-gotten funds had originally targeted 14 people, including Mubarak’s two sons, as well as dozens of other individuals and entities that had assets totaling some 600 million francs frozen. More than 210 million francs were already released in an earlier phase of the case, which also could not substantiate the allegations, and Wednesday’s announcement means about 400 million more will be “released and returned to their beneficial owners,” the attorney-general’s office said. The final part of the Swiss investigation centered on five people, it said, without identifying them. Swiss prosecutors say they didn’t receive a response to a request for information from “commissions” created in Egypt to analyze financial transfers connected to people under investigation in Egypt — notably the Mubarak family, the office said. Mubarak died in 2020, aged 91. “As a result, in the absence of evidence relating to potential offenses committed in particular in Egypt, it is not possible to show that the funds located in Switzerland could be of illegal origin,” it said. “The suspicion of money laundering cannot therefore be substantiated based on the information available.” Swiss banks, reputed for their discretion, have been a favored repository over the years for many wealthy foreigners — including Western industrial tycoons, Russian oligarchs, and autocrats and other leaders and their families and cronies in places as diverse as Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Swiss authorities have touted a recent crackdown against money laundering through Swiss banks, but advocacy groups and watchdogs say the effort has not succeeded in completely ending such activities.	https://www.kxnet.com/news/swiss-to-unfreeze-430m-as-egypt-money-laundering-probe-ends/	2022-04-13T12:32:28Z	https://www.kxnet.com/news/swiss-to-unfreeze-430m-as-egypt-money-laundering-probe-ends/	true
Which rose quartz heart necklace is best? Rose quartz is a pale pink stone that’s all about love, making it a perfect accent or centerpiece for heart-themed jewelry. And it’s as much about self-love as it is about promoting loving relationships with those you care about. So whether you’re looking to treat yourself to something special or want to give a loved one a gift with meaning, a rose quartz heart necklace is a tender, thoughtful choice. The Macy’s Heart-Shaped Rose Quartz Necklace In Sterling Silver is a gorgeously designed necklace made from excellent materials. What to know before you buy a rose quartz heart necklace Raw vs. tumbled crystals When a piece of rose quartz is “rough” or “raw,” it’s in the same shape in which it naturally formed. The edges are rough, and no two pieces of raw quartz will match because each grows with its own unique details and imperfections. A tumbled crystal, on the other hand, has been smoothed out and polished, often worked into a specific shape. Most rose quartz hearts are tumbled so that they can be heart-shaped, though raw rose quartz can be incorporated into alternative heart designs. Settings There are several ways for a piece of rose quartz to be attached to a pendant. The most popular include: - Prong setting: This is a classic stone setting with four to six metal prongs that wrap around the edges of the stone to hold it in place. It works with both raw and tumbled crystals. - Bezel setting: This features a vertical strip of metal that wraps all the way around the stone’s edge. It works for raw and tumbled crystals but is more popular with tumbled ones. It can cost a little more because it uses more metal. - Wire wrapped: This one sees thin wires wrapped around the stone several times to secure it in place. It is one of the less expensive settings, popular with those who like to make their own pendants with jewelry-making kits. - End cap: A small piece of metal is glued or fastened to the top of the stone, with a hole at the top for securing the pendant to a rope or chain. - Drilled hole: This is when a hole is drilled into the stone so it can be directly attached to a rope or chain. Sometimes a top drilled setting is used so that a post can be inserted. Stone size The size of the crystal depends on the necklace. Some pendants feature large heart-shaped rose quartz stones about an inch in both width and height. Other pendants are small and dainty, around a quarter of a inch in width and height. Smaller stones are also more popular for necklaces that feature multiple crystals instead of one big centerpiece. What to look for in a quality rose quartz heart necklace Authentic quartz The best rose quartz stones are transparent, or at least translucent. One way to tell if a piece of rose quartz is genuine or fake is to look for air bubbles inside the stone. Fake rose quartz usually has air bubbles inside, because it is made from dyed glass, while natural rose quartz has imperfections or cracks developed as the stone forms. Real rose quartz feels heavier in the hand than glass fakes. Resilient chain The chain should match the stone in quality and resilience. Solid silver or gold chains must be sturdy, and cords or less expensive chains must stand up to daily use and wear. A good cord won’t fray, and a good chain won’t snap with the weight of the pendant. If you don’t want to spend the money on silver or gold, consider silver-plated or gold-plated chains that are more affordable without sacrificing that high-end look. Mix and match options The best rose quartz jewelry gives you choices, especially when it comes to the chain. It’s much easier to find a necklace to match your wardrobe when there are gold, rose gold and silver-toned versions. It’s also great to have options when it comes to the length of the chain. How much you can expect to spend on a rose quartz heart necklace A simple rose quartz heart necklace costs $10-$30, while ones that use upscale metals or settings can cost $60-$200. Rose quartz heart necklace FAQ Is rose quartz a precious stone? A. Rose quartz is considered a semi-precious stone. While quartz in general is a common mineral, the pale pink rose color is a little harder to come by. Is rose quartz a healing crystal? A. People who believe in the healing power of crystals say it has healing properties and strong love vibrations. This makes it a particularly comforting stone, especially for those who like their jewelry to have specific meaning. What’s the best rose quartz heart necklace to buy?
