Lilly Bertelsen and Lizzy Verruchi finished first, second in the 800. KG Fisher was great in the Long Jump and Triple Jump. Lilly Crum and Julia Smith were great too.”
Verruchi, Bertelsen, Adeline Burget and Mollie Foster finished first in the 4×800 with a time of 11:05.
“I’m super pumped for them. To win a track title like that with a bunch of little girls who were all fragmented at the start,” Smith said. “They are all together right now. They pulled it together.”
Additionally, JV boys Brock Burgess finished fourth in the shot put and discus.

After 5 years of dating, star couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are officially husband and wife now! The actors who fell in love on the sets of their upcoming film 'Brahmastra' got hitched in an intimate wedding ceremony held at Ranbir's Bandra abode Vastu, on Thursday. Though the speculations of the stars exchanging their nuptials were at a peak from 2020, the lovebirds finally made it happen today, in the presence of their family members and close friends in attendance.
Soon after the wedding ceremony got over, Alia Bhatt dropped a carousel post including dreamy photos from the nuptials featuring husband-actor Ranbir Kapoor. Inevitably, the internet was flooded with wishes and photos of Ranbir and Alia, who also made their first public appearance and posed for the paparazzi stationed outside the 'Barfi' star's residence to catch a glimpse of the newly married couple.
READ: Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor's captivating wedding photos will melt your heart
And now, a video from the varmala ceremony of Ranbir and Alia has been going viral on the internet.
In the now-viral video, Alia is seen trying to put the varmala around Ranbir's neck as his relatives lift him up (a sort of wedding tradition), making it difficult for the 'Raazi' actor to put the garland around Ranbir's neck. However, when Ranbir's relatives finally put him down after having had some fun with their bhabhi Alia, Ranbir is seen kneeling down and then kissing his now-wife after she puts the garland around his neck.
Take a look at the video here:
THE BEST KISS Every time a video
comes out better than the other <3#RanbirAliaWedding pic.twitter.com/ayUegm0QWM — ‘ ra (@imranliaa) April 14, 2022
Ranbir and Alia's pre-wedding festivities including a special pooja and mehendi ceremony were conducted on Wednesday. Several guests including Ranbir's mother Neetu Kapoor, sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, cousins Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and aunt Reema Kapoor were dressed to the nines for the event.
Riddhima, and Kareena dazzled in Manish Malhotra's collection.Neetu chose a resham ghaghra from Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla's collection. The veteran star reportedly gave a special performance for the groom, 39 and the bride, 29.
Alia's mother Soni Razdan, father Mahesh Bhatt, sister Shaheen Bhatt, step-sister Pooja Bhatt, and best friends Akanksha Ranjan and Anushka Ranjan were also the highlights of the special event as they all looked radiant in the exquisite traditional attires.
The duo's engagement date was extra special as it was the same date in 1979 when Ranbir's mother Neetu and now late father Rishi Kapoor had gotten engaged. Post the pre-wedding festivities Neetu and Riddhima confirmed the wedding date (April 14, 2022) to the media personnel deployed outside Vastu to capture the glimpses of the ceremony.
As per viral reports, the duo got hitched at around 3:30 pm in the afternoon according to Punjabi wedding rituals at Ranbir's Bandra house Vastu.
Apart from the couple's family members, the intimate wedding affair was attended by the duo's close friends including filmmaker Karan Johar, Ayan Mukerji and Alia's best friend Akanksha Ranjan. Akash Ambani and his wife Shloka Ambani also attended the duo's wedding.
After exchanging the nuptials, the two, who were dressed in shimmery Sabyasachi outfits cut their 3-tier wedding cake and raised a toast to the new beginnings. Alia shared her official wedding pictures with Ranbir on her Instagram handle writing, "Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home ... in our favourite spot - the balcony we`ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship - we got married. With so much already behind us, we can't wait to build more memories together ... memories that are full of love, laughter, comfortable silences, movie nights, silly fights, wine delights and Chinese bites. Thank you for all the love and light during this very momentous time in our lives. It has made this moment all the more special. Love, Ranbir and Alia."
A few minutes after posting the official pictures, the two made their first media appearance as husband and wife. Giving out major husband goals, Ranbir lifted up Alia Bhatt in his arms and took her inside the venue, while bidding adieu to the media.

Mumbai: No doubt Hardik Pandya is powerful. Time and again fans have got to see his power with the bat in his hand and against Rajasthan Royals, he showcased his strength in a different way. Hardik’s bullet throw found Sanju Samson short of his ground at the DY Patil stadium on Thursday. Not only did the throw hit the wicket direct, but it also broke the stump.
The incident took place in the third ball of the eighth over in RR’s chase, Samson hit a ball from Lockie Ferguson towards mid-off and set off for a quick single. Soon, he realised the run was miscalculated and he was in a point of no return. Samson was run out for 11 and that was a big wicket at that stage.
Here is the Hardik throw that broke the stump:

Vic opposition revives East West project
Victoria's opposition will take the controversial East West Link project to a third state election.
"Maybe it's an idea whose time has come," shadow transport spokesman Matt Bach said announcing the opposition's recommitment to the project they tried to fast-track in government in 2014.
When Labor won power later that year, Premier Daniel Andrew dumped the road project, costing more than $1 billion in cancelled contracts.
He had promised never to build the road.
With $4 billion from the federal government and "significant money" from the private sector the first stage of the project would cost taxpayers a "nominal sum", Mr Bach said.
He put that figure somewhere up to $1 billion or $2 billion.
The road would definitely require private investment and would be tolled to cover costs, he said.
There are no costings yet for the project, which given the skyrocketing costs of materials and labour since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic will be "slightly higher" than previously, he conceded.
A full cost breakdown would be available ahead of the November election, he said.
The opposition first wants to consider figures in the state budget, to be handed down on May 3.
Mr Bach maintains the city needs the link to reduce commute times.
"I drive the Eastern Freeway on work days and it's still very busy and very congested at that end point," he said of the Hoddle Street intersection.
He later described the city as "dead" when asked about the state's COVID-19 rules.
"So few people are coming into the city," Mr Bach said.
Mr Andrews said it was no surprise he still opposed the project, and said he'd like to see the $4 billion spent elsewhere.
"What I'd like is a fair share of infrastructure (spending) from Canberra," he said.

Religious whipping marks Good Friday in the Philippines
Some devotees in the mainly Catholic Philippines go to extreme lengths to atone for sins or seek divine intervention
Catholic zealots in the Philippines whipped their backs bloody and raw on Good Friday, as the fervently religious country marked Easter with gruesome displays of faith.
Scores of men -- their faces covered -- walked barefoot as they flogged themselves with bamboo whips under a blazing sun near the capital Manila, while others carried wooden crosses as they were beaten, in a ritual frowned upon by the Church.
Roy Balatbat, his skin still bearing fresh wounds from a public flailing on Thursday, walked for about a kilometre, striking himself and stopping to prostrate in prayer on the hot ground.
"It's punishing but if you have a wish, you will endure the pain," Balatbat, 49, told AFP in Hagonoy municipality, Bulacan province.
"I have been doing this for 30 years since I was a young man. My devotion is that I will only stop when I can't do it anymore."
While most devotees in the mainly Catholic nation spend Good Friday at church or with family, others go to these extreme lengths to atone for sins or seek divine intervention.
Before the grisly flogging begins, the men's bare backs are deliberately punctured to make them bleed.
Veterans of the gory spectacle display scars of previous whippings, while others endure the punishing act for the first time.
"I inflict the wound to the penitents, if there's not much blood coming out, they'll ask for another one so their sins would be forgiven," Reynaldo Tolentino, 51, explained.
"They won't feel the pain when they're doing the penitence as long as they are sincere in doing it."
Good Friday is also usually marked by crucifixion reenactments in a city north of Manila, but the event was cancelled for the third year in a row due to Covid-19.
About a dozen Catholics regularly have themselves nailed to wooden crosses as penance for their sins. The event attracts thousands of tourists.
"We do not encourage acts of self flagellations and crucifixions," said Father Jerome Secillano, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines' public affairs committee.
"The suffering and crucifixion of Christ is already enough to save humanity," he told AFP, adding devotees should instead "confess their sins".
The Philippines has lifted most Covid-19 restrictions after a sharp fall in infections and rising vaccination rates.
But the health department warned Thursday of a possible surge in cases as Filipinos dropped their guard and mingled more freely.

MARTINSBURG — West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner made a stop in the Eastern Panhandle on Monday, taking the time to check in on local county clerk offices and keep voters up to date on the coming election.
“The big thing is checking in with the county clerks,” Warner said. “Just got an awful lot of moving parts with this election, and, of course, Berkeley County is just growing like crazy, the second-largest county with an awful lot of voters. Just checking in with the county clerk to make sure things are getting done properly with the statewide voter registration system, the election equipment and all those sorts of things.”
One of the biggest obstacles in the coming election is redistricting, as voters figure out their new districts and polling locations. Warner encouraged those still figuring everything out to visit the GoVoteWV portion of the Secretary of State website to view a map to help with redistricting confusion.
“We have an interactive map that might be the first in the nation that’s got the ability to just type in your address and pop up the districts, your congressional district, magisterial district, that sort of thing,” Warner said. “That’s the first place to go to. Always go to the county clerk. The county clerk is the one who’s responsible for the elections, runs the elections. We are here to help the county clerks. But your best source of information is always your county clerk with the local elections office.”
He added that voters confused over the new district lines is frequently heard throughout the state, as this particular election features so many moving parts.
“You had the census, and that’s huge,” Warner said. “We lost a congressional seat, so we have to go from three to two. Those lines are redrawn. And we went from 67 House districts to 100 single-member districts. The 67 had multiple-member districts. A lot of redrawing of the lines there. A lot of moving parts in this one election.”
Because the census got to the clerks late, and the Legislature was rushed through drawing lines, everything seemed to happen quickly.
“It was almost like a perfect storm of a lot of things being put on top of these clerks at the last minute to get ready for this election,” Warner said. “But they’re all responding very well. We’ll be ready for this election.”
He gave a shoutout to the clerks and their staffs, who are working hard to make sure everything goes smoothly through the election process.
Among tips for voters, Warner encouraged individuals to vote at their polling places so as to have the help of a trained poll worker.
“That’s the best way to vote is to go to a polling location, your local precinct, under the watchful eye of a trained observer, so if you do have a question, they can sort it out right there,” Warner said. “You get to see your ballot. You get to put it in the tabulator. You know that your vote is in and that it’s going to be counted properly.”
He also stressed that an individual registered as an Independent needs to ask for a a partisan ballot if one is desired. Poll workers are not supposed to ask if a voter would like one or direct voters toward one. If not asked for, a registered Independent will receive a nonpartisan ballot, which would not have the major Republican or Democratic candidate races on it.
“Berkeley County has about a third, a third, a third — a third Republican, a third Democrat and about a third Independent,” Warner said. “Those Independents, I want everybody to know that if you want a partisan ballot —either a Republican or Democratic ballot — the voter needs to ask for that.
“It’s really incumbent upon them to ask for the ballot they want.”
Warner provided some key dates for this election, including anyone who wants to change his or her registration needs to do so by April 19. Early voting begins April 27 and will last for 10 days. Absentee ballots must be requested by May 4.
Notification for those who are in a new district should be received from the county clerk’s office sometime in the coming days, likely the end of this week or early next.
“Anybody who is going to a new precinct to vote, if the lines have been redrawn, they will receive a card or a letter from the county clerk, telling them what their new precinct is,” Warner said. “Pay attention. I know this time of year, you get a lot of campaign literature and so forth, but we don’t want people to just throw that away. I want them to pay attention to anything that comes from the county clerk, because many, many people will be voting in new precincts, and that’s how you get that information.”
Warner also encouraged anyone to visit the public testing of the equipment by the clerk’s office, which should happen around five days prior to the election. Much like voting in person, the process helps assure voters of the security and accuracy of the process.
“There were so many questions after, first, the 2016 election and then, the 2020 election,” he said. “There’s already concerns out there about the accuracy or whatever. The best way is to participate in the process as either a poll worker or go watch this public testing of the equipment to gain confidence that things are being done properly.”
Warner reminded that military and overseas voters, first responders and those with disabilities will have the ability to vote from a personal electronic device, which should be requested online through the county clerk. This time around, there will be end-to-end verification for those who vote via this manner.
“West Virginia has led the nation with this already, but for the first time this election, you’re going to be able to do end-to-end ballot verification,” Warner said. “The ballot that you vote on your personal device can be checked against the ballot that’s received by the clerk, and you can independently verify that those two are the same thing. Any concern over Russian hacking or Chinese meddling or anything, we can put that to rest. This is being pioneered here in West Virginia. People should be proud we have more ways to vote than anybody else, and every election that goes by, we’re increasing not only the security but the accuracy, the confidence in that election with this end-to-end verification.”
Warner said while he hasn’t advocated for the process to go mainstream, he sees the huge benefit, sharing the story of a 35-year-old quadriplegic man who had never been able to go to his precinct to vote until the device ability was available.
“He could use his mouse enough to be able to go vote,” Warner said. “He said he felt like a citizen for the first time in his life. When you have an experience like that, it’s like, ‘Yeah, it’s good that we’re out there pioneering that, making that available.’”

The author of the following Good Friday poem, which first appeared in this newspaper in 1976, is retired Union Leader copy editor Barry Palmer.
...
The air hangs heavy
My heart stands still
They gather all around me
And hasten for the kill.
They tear my garments from me
Undraped here I stand
While they prepare to crucify
The bleeding Son of Man.
It’s hard for me to understand
Or realize just why
My death is made a mockery
Which makes my mother cry.
When just last week I spoke of peace
And everlasting love,
Apparently to deafened ears
And darkened skies above.
It was just last night I prayed,
Father, if the will be thine,
Take away this chalice ...
This bleeding cup of mine.
But yet, not as I will
But as Thy will be done.
And when pain shot through my heart,
I knew my hour had come.
A noisy crowd shatters the night;
My heart begins to race;
And then a traitor’s lips
Plant a kiss upon my face.
They scourged me at a pillar
And whipped me till I bled,
But this was just a taste
Of the agony ahead.
A wreath of thorns upon my head;
I ached with every breath;
I went before the multitude
They sentenced me to death.
A cross I had to carry,
The splinters tore my skin.
The treacherous road to Calvary
Was just now to begin.
The mid-day sun took its toll;
My knees buckled and gave way.
My heart was beating very fast
As on the ground I lay.
My head began to spin around
And I felt the blistering heat.
I could not go on, and once again
Fell ... at my mother’s feet.
I looked up at her tear-stained face
And even though she tried
To hold back the emotion,
She looked at me and cried.
I stumbled again and fell once more
As time seemed to stand still.
Bruised and bleeding, I arrived
At the sacrificial hill.
And now I stand here naked;
Tormented by seething pain,
While nails are driven through my flesh.
And piercing every vein.
The agony is unbearable
As spikes drive through the bone;
And they nail me to the cross
To suffer all alone.
I now look down from my cross
And see the brutal few.
Father, please forgive them.
They know not what they do.
To my right and to my left
The two thieves I behold.
One this day finds Paradise
But the other heart is cold.
Below me I can dimly see
My mother so divine,
Trying hard to hold back tears
As I try to hold back mine.
Woman, behold your Son.
It hurts you, that I know.
I can see the torment in your eyes
As tears begin to flow.
Upon my robe they cast their lots
To see who gets it first.
My whispered word goes unheard
As I cry to them, “I thirst.”
My arms are getting weary,
And I am numb with pain;
The aching and the throbbing
Seem impossible to retain.
Now I hang here all alone
For all the world to see;
My heart cries out, “My God, My God,
Why hast thou forsaken me?”
I see the sky above grow dark,
And not a sound I hear,
And I know deep inside my heart
That the end is near.
To Thy hands I commend my spirit.
Father, take Thy Son.
I see the light of life go out.
Father ... it is done.

Pushkala AripakaApril 14 (Reuters) - Britain's medicines regulator on Thursday approved the use of
Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine in children between six and 11 years, as the country bolsters itself for fighting coronavirus infections amid the spread of new virus variants.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mhra-approves-the-moderna-covid-19-vaccine-spikevax-for-use-in-6-to-11-year-olds the approval was granted after Moderna's vaccine, known as Spikevax, met the required standards of safety, quality and effectiveness.
While most children develop mild or no symptoms with COVID-19, they could still spread the virus and some remain at risk of becoming seriously ill as new, highly contagious variants such as
Omicron and its sub-variants are driving up cases.
A Reuters tally https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/worldwide-covid-cases-surpass-500-mln-omicron-variant-ba2-surges-2022-04-14 showed worldwide cases surpassed 500 million.
However, official data on Thursday showed https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/englands-covid-19-prevalence-dips-slightly-record-high-2022-04-14 that COVID-19 prevalence in England fell to 1 in 14 people in the week ending April 9, compared with a record high of 1 in 13 recorded in the previous two weeks.
Spikevax was already approved in Britain for those over 12 years, and the extension to include younger children comes hours after the regulator approved French firm Valneva's easy-to-store COVID-19 vaccine for adults up to 50 years of age.
MHRA chief June Raine said in a statement it would be up to Britain's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation to advise on whether Moderna's vaccine will be offered to the younger group as part of the country's immunisation programme.
Moderna last year said its two-dose vaccine, based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, generated virus-neutralizing antibodies in children aged six to 11 years and safety was comparable to that seen in trials of adolescents and adults.
Last month, the U.S.-based drugmaker said it would seek authorisation of Spikevax in children younger than 6 years old based on data showing it generated a similar immune response to adults in Moderna's clinical trial when Omicron was predominant.

Emmanuel Macron v Marine Le Pen | Decoding the 2022 French presidential elections
April 15, 2022 11:13 ISTIncumbent French President Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le have advanced to the final runoff on April 24.
Incumbent French President Emmanuel Macron will face Rassemblement National (National Rally) leader Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential elections being held in the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war. The two leaders advanced to the next stage after the first round on April 10. Both are now campaigning to win the decisive runoff on April 24.
Opinion polls suggest President Emmanuel Macron, seeking a second five-year term, remains the front-runner. His nationalist rival Marine Le Pen, however, appears to have significantly narrowed the gap from 2017, when he trounced her in the same presidential runoff.
How are presidential elections held in France?
The French presidential elections follow a two-round system and is held every five years. The candidates who finish first and second in the initial round will go through to a runoff vote on April 24. The winner of the second round will take office on May 13.
Technically, a contender can be declared a winner outright by securing more than 50% of the vote in the first round. However, that has never happened in France.
About 48.7 million French, registered on the electoral rolls, will continue to use the manual system: paper ballots that are cast in person and counted by hand. Voters are to make their choices in a booth, with the curtains closed, and then place their ballot in an envelope that is then put into a transparent ballot box.
Who are the key contenders for the 2022 presidential race?
2022 is a repeat of sorts of the 2017 elections. In 2017, Mr. Macron trounced Ms. Le Pen by a landslide to become France’s youngest President at 39. His win was then seen as a victory against populist, nationalist politics, coming in the wake of Donald Trump’s election to the White House and Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.
The scenario, however, seems to have changed in the closing stages of the 2022 campaign with issues of inflation, food and energy prices taking centre-stage.
Twelve leaders including Emmanuel Macron, a political centrist; National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen; and far-left’s Jean-Luc Melenchon were vying to take the top post at the start of the 2022 presidential elections. The 53-year-old Ms. Le Pen stepped into the election ring for the third time to be the first woman President of France.
Despite her controversial remarks on immigration and Muslim rights, she has reportedly managed to soften her image to broaden her appeal. Experts say this has happened because of the presence of far-right leader Eric Zemmour whose bid for the presidency is based entirely on the migration issue. He has been portraying himself as the protector of old France, with controversial proposals on immigration and Islam. Notably, he has been convicted three times of inciting racial or religious hatred.
With polls suggesting that the runoff could be close, the President has returned to campaigning after remaining absent for the most part as he shifted his focus to diplomatic efforts over the war in Ukraine.
In his address to supporters last week, Mr. Macron said the runoff campaign will be “decisive for our country and for Europe.” He claimed that Ms. Le Pen would align France with “populists and xenophobes,” and remarked: “That’s not us.”
Ms. Le Pen has, meanwhile, dropped her earlier goal of quitting the European Union and has shifted the spotlight to soaring costs for food, gas and heating due to rising inflation and the repercussions of Western sanctions on Russia. She has also called for measures to soften the blow of rising prices, like slashing taxes on energy bills from 20% to 5.5%. She has promised to put 150-200 euros per month back in people’s pockets.
Also, contrary to her 2017 presidential campaign when she paid a visit to Russian President Vladimir Putin, she has now gone on record to term the Russian invasion of Ukraine “absolutely indefensible”, while adding that Mr. Putin’s behaviour cannot be excused “in any way.”
What are the main talking points?
When the campaign started amid Russia’s war in Ukraine, opinion polls showed a boost for Mr. Macron, but that was followed by a dip in numbers. Here are top issues shaping the 2022 presidential elections:
1. Inflation: According to government data, France saw gains in gross disposable income during Mr. Macron’s presidency. But there has been a the spike in inflation over the last six months. An increase in the cost of living due to rocketing inflation has emerged as the voters’ top concern heading into the elections. Ms. Le Pen has pivoted her campaign to how she would help restore families’ budgets. She has promised to cut taxes on energy and essential goods.
2. Pension reforms: Mr. Macron’s proposed pension changes, which include raising the minimum retirement age from 62 to 65, have been widely criticised. While the President said pension reforms are needed to make the system “viable”, the issue prompted major street protests in 2019. Saying that pushing back the retirement age would hurt workers, Ms. Le Pen stated that she will maintain the retirement age at 62 and raise the minimum pension.
3. Immigration: If elected, Ms. Le Pen plans drastic measures — a nationwide referendum — to contain immigration. She plans to restrict social benefits to the French only, and deport foreigners who stay unemployed for over a year and other migrants who entered illegally.
The French President, meanwhile, has stressed the need to strengthen the external borders of the European passport-free area and create a new force to control national borders. He has also vowed to speed up the processing of asylum and residence permit applications and deport those who aren’t eligible.
4. Russia-Ukraine war: The ongoing war in Ukraine has become a key issue in the elections campaigning. Mr. Macron has been seen at the forefront of international talks on supporting Ukraine amid the war and imposing sanctions on Russia. He has also targeted his rival over her ties to Russia. Ms. Le Pen visited Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2017.
The National Rally leader has distanced herself from Mr. Putin. Stating that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “partially” changed her views about the Russian President, Ms. Le Pen said he was “wrong” and expressed her support for the Ukrainian people and refugees from that country.
Other issues that are likely to be raised when the two leaders take on each other in the second round include the handling of the coronavirus crisis, environment, and health.
What do opinion polls suggest?
Polls suggest that centrist President Emmanuel Macron is the front-runner, but nearly half of respondents say they’re ready to vote for a far-right candidate in the decisive runoff.
Opinion polls also show many are unsure who they will vote for, and turnout could well be much lower than usual.
What is the relevance?
The 2022 French elections will likely have international implications amid Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as the top two contenders share different views of France's foreign policy and how to deal with Russia, as well as the European Union.
Mr. Macron has strongly backed European Union sanctions on Russia while Ms. Le Pen has expressed worry about their impact on French living standards. The French President is also a firm supporter of NATO and of close collaboration among members of the European Union. Ms. Len has, meanwhile, reportedly dropped her earlier goals of quitting the EU and abandoning the euro.
This assumes significance since France is the 27-member bloc’s second-largest economy, the only one with a UN Security Council veto, and its sole nuclear power.

SINGAPORE - For the first eight months of last year, Loh Kean Yew could not muster a single meaningful victory on the badminton court.
At the Yonex and Toyota Thailand Opens in January, he won the first game in each of the opening rounds but went on to lose both matches. Then at the Tokyo Olympics in July, needing a victory against Indonesia's Asian Games champion Jonatan Christie to progress to the round of 16, Loh again fell short.
"The two defeats in Thailand were a good wake-up call for me because it has been a long time since we previously played in any tournament because of Covid-19," said the 24-year-old.
"After that, I trained a lot harder than before. And it was the same after the Olympics - I was aiming for a medal but got knocked out at the group stage, so I was determined to make up for lost time and ground."
The final few months of 2021 is now Singapore sporting history. Following a one-month training stint with Olympic champion and world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen and a few players in the top 60, Loh won the Dutch Open, Hylo Open in Germany, and the biggest one of all - the World Championships in Spain.
Despite an injured ankle and sole in the latter rounds, the unseeded Singaporean claimed the scalps of Axelsen, world No. 3 Anders Antonsen and other higher-ranked players like Kantaphon Wangcharoen and Kidambi Srikanth.
He stunned not just the badminton world but also himself in Huelva, becoming the Republic's first world champion in the sport, and earning himself a nomination for this year's ST Athlete of the Year Award, which is backed by 100Plus.
"I'm confident in my own abilities, but the achievement came too suddenly," said Loh with a laugh.
The landmark win has brought with it fortune and fame. Well-wishers contributed around $500,000, while he is also endorsing brands like Li-Ning and Seiko.
Fellow players seek wefies with him at international tournaments, while teenage girls shriek when they spot him at fast-food restaurants here, as his Instagram followers surged to over 200,000 from around 4,000 in 2019.
This year, he reached the India Open final and helped Singapore claim a historic bronze at the Badminton Asia Team Championships and qualify for the Thomas Cup. But in both tournaments he lost to fellow generational talents Lakshya Sen in India and Lee Zii Jia in Malaysia, leading to some criticism about the quick drop in form.
Life is no longer the same anymore, his results - good or bad - seem magnified, and it takes getting used to.
Candidly, Loh said: "I need to know and accept that I'm now a world champion, and I need to face the pressure and expectations. I cannot always be running away from it.
"It will be different from how I used to handle pressure, but I will learn and hopefully one day I will be able to handle it well.
"But what doesn't change are my love for badminton, my fighting spirit and the putting in of hard work to continue to improve to get to where I want to be."
The world No. 10 has set his sights set on climbing the rankings and becoming the first Singaporean shuttler to capture an Olympic medal, hopefully at Paris 2024.
He said: "The world title showed anything is possible. That, and the support Singaporeans have shown towards me and my team-mates, are big motivation for me to continue to strive to bring more sporting glory for our country."

DENVER (AP) — Seiya Suzuki stayed hot with an RBI double in a three-run first inning, Frank Schwindel homered and drove in two, and the Chicago Cubs cooled off Kris Bryant and the Colorado Rockies, winning 5-2 on Thursday night.
Suzuki extended his hitting streak to six games since joining the majors from Japan and drove in his 10th run when the Cubs collected five straight hits against Kyle Freeland (0-2).
“I'll take him every day in my lineup,” Schwindel said of the two-time Japan Central League batting champ. “He's just fun to be around. He's a great hitter and he's got a great eye, which I think is more impressive, adjusting to the pitching here.”
Bryant went 2 for 5 and lost a third hit due to Yonathan Daza's baserunning gaffe as the Rockies had their four-game winning streak snapped in the opener of Bryant's second series against his former team.
Bryant, the NL MVP when the Cubs won the 2016 World Series, was traded to San Francisco in July and signed a seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockies after the lockout.
Schwindel had a run-scoring single in the first and went deep to right to lead off the sixth after the Rockies had sliced the lead to 3-2. Ian Happ's RBI single made it 5-2 and chased Freeland, who allowed five runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings.
“Didn't have good fastball command, so I had to rely on a lot of my off-speed stuff. And I got singled to death,” Freeland said.
C.J. Cron had an RBI single off Ethan Roberts, who also walked in a run after replacing Justin Steele with one out in the fifth. Keegan Thompson (1-0) took over and got Elias Diaz to fly to right with the bases loaded to end the inning. Thompson pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings.
“I think it's usually hard to have a really nice curveball in this climate and he looked like he had some pretty good depth to it,” Cubs manager David Ross said.
Mychal Givens pitched a scoreless ninth for his first save as the Cubs hung on despite hitting into five double plays.
Bryant singled to left in the third and ninth and hit a liner that fell in front of Happ in left in the fifth. But Daza thought the ball might be caught and was forced at third.
Bryant was the center of attention before the game.
“I want to do what I did there for another team,” Bryant said, while noting how few players he knows from the Cubs’ retooled roster. “I enjoyed my time in Chicago, but I don’t know if it warrants a press conference every time I play them.”
SUZUKI GAFFES
Suzuki cost the Cubs a run in the third. After reaching on shortstop Jose Iglesias' throwing error and with Villar at third, Suzuki was doubled off first on Yan Gomes' one-out flyball to right that should have been a sacrifice fly.
“I thought it was a double,” Ross said. “It just hung up and (Charlie) Blackmon got to it pretty quick.”
Suzuki also miscommunicated with second baseman Nick Madrigal on Diaz's fly to shallow right that fell and was ruled a single in the fourth. But with two on, Steele got Iglesias to ground into an inning-ending double play.
BRYANT & ROSS
Bryant and Ross, buddies and former Chicago teammates, traded barbs before the game.
“It's hard to see him as a manager because I just think back to ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and ‘Saturday Night Live’ looking like a fool,” Bryant said, smiling.
Ross reminisced about when Bryant set up his @GrandpaRossy_3 Instagram account in 2016.
“Why did I have to be Grandpa? I was still playing,” Ross said, adding, “I got to watch him grow from a prospect to MVP and all the things he's done. And he's a pretty great human being.”
TRAINER'S ROOM
Cubs: Ross was back after missing most of Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh with a stomach illness.
Rockies: RHP Peter Lambert (forearm inflammation) has begun throwing again in Arizona.
UP NEXT
Cubs RHP Marcus Stroman (0-0, 1.80 ERA) faces RHP German Marquez (0-0, 1.29) on Friday night.

As Russia loses key ship, Zelenskyy praises nation’s resolve
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — On a day that saw Moscow suffer a stinging symbolic defeat with the loss of its Black Sea fleet flagship, Ukraine’s president hailed his people for their resolve since Russia invaded in February and for making “the most important decision of their life — to fight.”
In his nightly address, Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Ukrainians late Thursday that they should be proud of having survived 50 days under Russian attack when the invaders “gave us a maximum of five.”
Back then even friendly world leaders urged him to leave, unsure whether Ukraine could survive, he said: “But they didn’t know how brave Ukrainians are, how much we value freedom and the possibility to live the way we want.”
Listing the ways Ukraine has defended against the onslaught, Zelenskyy noted “those who showed that Russian warships can sail away, even if it’s to the bottom” of the sea.
WARNING: Videos may contain graphic content.
It was his only reference to the guided-missile cruiser Moskva, named for the Russian capital, which became a potent target of Ukrainian defiance in the opening days of the war. It sank Thursday while being towed to port after suffering heavy damage under circumstances that remained under dispute.
Ukrainian officials said their forces struck the vessel with missiles, while Moscow acknowledged a fire on board but not any attack. U.S. and other Western officials could not confirm what caused the blaze. In any case, the loss was a symbolic defeat for Russia as its troops regroup for a renewed offensive in eastern Ukraine after retreating from much of the north, including the capital, Kyiv.
The Moskva had the capacity to carry 16 long-range cruise missiles, and its removal reduces Russia’s firepower in the Black Sea. It’s also a blow to Moscow’s prestige in a war already widely seen as a historic blunder. Now entering its eighth week, the invasion has stalled amid resistance from Ukrainian fighters bolstered by weapons and other aid sent by Western nations.
During the first days of the war, the Moskva was reportedly the ship that called on Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island in the Black Sea to surrender in a standoff. In a widely circulated recording, a soldier responded: “Russian warship, go (expletive) yourself.”
The Associated Press could not independently verify the incident, but Ukraine and its supporters consider it an iconic moment of defiance. The country recently unveiled a postage stamp commemorating it.
If Ukraine carried out the attack, the Moskva likely represents the largest warship to be sunk in combat since the 1982 Falklands War, which saw a similar-sized cruiser called the ARA General Belgrano torpedoed by a British submarine, killing over 300 sailors on board.
The news about the flagship overshadowed Russian claims of advances in the southern port city of Mariupol, where Moscow’s forces have been battling the Ukrainians since the early days of the invasion in some of the heaviest fighting of the war — at a horrific cost to civilians.
Dwindling numbers of Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol are holding out against a siege that has trapped well over 100,000 civilians in desperate need of food, water and heating. David Beasley, executive director of the U.N. World Food Program, told AP in an interview Thursday that people are being “starved to death” in the besieged city.
Mariupol’s mayor said this week that more than 10,000 civilians had died and the death toll could surpass 20,000, after weeks of attacks and privation carpeted the streets with bodies.
Mariupol’s capture is critical for Russia because it would allow its forces in the south, which came up through the annexed Crimean Peninsula, to fully link up with troops in the Donbas region, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland and the target of the coming offensive.
The Russian military continues to move helicopters and other equipment together for such an effort, according to a senior U.S. defense official, and it is likely to add more ground combat units soon. But it’s still unclear when Russia could launch a bigger offensive in the Donbas.
Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukraine in the Donbas since 2014, the same year Russia seized Crimea. Russia has recognized the independence of the rebel regions in the Donbas.
Maksym Marchenko, governor of the Odesa region, said Ukrainian forces struck the Moskva with two Neptune missiles and caused “serious damage.”
Russia’s Defense Ministry said ammunition on board detonated as a result of a fire, without saying what caused the blaze. It said the “main missile weapons” were not damaged and that the crew, usually numbering about 500, abandoned the vessel. It wasn’t clear if there were any casualties. In addition to the cruise missiles, the warship also had air-defense missiles and other guns.
The Neptune is an anti-ship missile that was recently developed by Ukraine based on an earlier Soviet design. The launchers are mounted on trucks stationed near the coast, and, according to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, can hit targets up to 280 kilometers (175 miles) away. That would have put the Moskva within range, based on where the ship was when the fire began.
Launched as the Slava in 1979, the cruiser saw service in the Cold War and during conflicts in Georgia and Syria, and helped conduct peacetime scientific research with the United States. During the Cold War, it carried nuclear weapons.
On Thursday, other Russian ships in the northern Black Sea moved farther south after the Moskva incident, said a senior U.S. defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal military assessments.
While the U.S. was not able to confirm Ukraine’s claims of striking the warship, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan called it “a big blow to Russia.”
“They’ve had to kind of choose between two stories: One story is that it was just incompetence, and the other was that they came under attack, and neither is a particularly good outcome for them,” Sullivan told the Economic Club of Washington.
Russia invaded Feb. 24 and has lost potentially thousands of fighters. The conflict has killed untold numbers of Ukrainian civilians and forced millions more to flee.
It has also further inflated prices at grocery stores and gasoline pumps, while dragging on the global economy. The head of the International Monetary Fund said Thursday that the war helped push the organization to downgrade economic forecasts for 143 countries.
Also Thursday, Russian authorities accused Ukraine of sending two low-flying military helicopters some 11 kilometers (7 miles) across the border and firing on residential buildings in the village of Klimovo, in Russia’s Bryansk region. Russia’s Investigative Committee said seven people, including a toddler, were wounded.
Russia’s state security service had earlier said Ukrainian forces fired mortar rounds at a border post in Bryansk as refugees were crossing, forcing them to flee.
The reports could not be independently verified.

Softball umpire speaks after parent attack leaves her with severe nerve damage
LAUREL, Miss. (WDAM/Gray News) - An umpire in Mississippi is speaking out while she recovers from being punched in the face after a softball game for 12-year-old children.
Kristie Moore was filling in for an umpire who got sick, something she said she has been doing for several years with 10 years of experience calling games.
However, during this game, the coach asked one of the athlete’s mothers to leave the game for excessive cursing. Instead of going home, the woman is accused of waiting to confront Moore after the game, punching her and then running away.
Moore told WDAM that the parent became irate after a call she made at second base, but the coaches and other officials had no opposition to the call.
The 10-year umpire said abuse to referees, whether physical or verbal, is becoming too familiar and leading to an umpire shortage.
“This is not a Laurel thing or a Mississippi thing,” Moore said. “This is a nationwide thing for officials across the board. It’s harder and harder, every weekend because of the abuse that umpires and officials across the board are experiencing.”
According to police, the parent in question, Kiara Thomas, was arrested after the incident and charged with simple assault.
Moore said she wants people to understand that umpires are just human.
“Officials in any sport are expected to be perfect and we’re not,” Moore said. “We never will be.”
Moore experienced a severe contusion and nerve damage in her left eye, but it won’t stop her from umpiring.
She hopes that her story will bring awareness to the umpire shortage and brings consequences for similar actions.
“There definitely needs to be stricter consequences and laws to stop and to deter this from happening to anyone else,” Moore said.
Earlier this year, a bill was introduced in the legislature that would make assaulting a referee or umpire a felony as aggravated assault. That bill, however, did not make the calendar.
Moore said she hopes after this incident lawmakers will take a second look at the bill.

TOKYO: Japan's
Subaru Corp has suspended shipment of some of its three main automobile models over an
engine sensor malfunction and also plans to temporarily halt production of the models, the company said on Friday.
The automaker discovered the problem with the sensor in the CB18
engine used in its Forester, Outback and Levorg models, a spokesperson said, adding that production of models with that engine would be halted in due course, without giving further details.
About 54,000
cars with the engine have been sold in Japan since October 2020 and are for the market only, the spokesperson said, declining to comment on the number of cars affected by the shipment suspension.
Subaru has not decided whether to recall the cars and it would likely take 2-1/2 months before shipment is resumed, the spokesperson said. The company will continue to produce and ship models that do not use the CB18 engine, the spokesperson said.
The malfunction with the sensor causes the engine to fail to start and a warning sign to flash on the dashboard, the spokesperson said.
Subaru's shares fell 3% in morning trade in Tokyo, after being deluged by sell orders at the open.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Three days after Monday’s unprecedented snowstorm, the city of Portland is asking people to be patient as crews work to clear up the debris.
Instead of starting the spring pruning the city’s gardens and green spaces, crews have been cleaning up massive trees that didn’t survive the week’s high winds and heavy snowfall.
Mark Ross with Portland Parks & Recreation says the number of tree-related emergencies have been climbing all week.
“We’re now looking at more than 700 tree emergencies citywide,” Ross said. “It’s a real struggle for our crews right now. We’re looking to make sure ambulances have clear paths, that fire trucks can get through, that doctors can get to see their patients. It’s all hands on deck.”
Ross also says that workers haven’t dealt with a mess on this scale since the winter storm of February 2021.
“When you say there’s more than 700 tree emergencies it sounds like a lot, and then you see the size and the scope of what we’re actually talking about,” Ross said.
The wood from the downed trees is put into a chipper, while the bark is used around local parks to fill flower beds, playgrounds and dog parks.
Ross said that it could take weeks to remove all the fallen trees.
“It’s a lot of wood, it’s a big problem in a lot of areas, so we’re talking about weeks worth of emergency response,” Ross said.

The 62-year-old man accused of shooting 10 people on the New York subway was placed in pre-trial detention Thursday after being arraigned on terror charges related to attacking a mass transit system.
Frank James is alleged to have detonated two smoke canisters on the train as it pulled into a Brooklyn station before firing into the crowd in an incident that left 23 people injured but caused no deaths.
During a brief hearing, James told the court that he understood the charges, while his lawyers requested a psychiatric evaluation.
The judge ordered James to remain in custody after prosecuting attorney Sara Winik said that "the defendant, terrifyingly, opened fire on passengers on a crowded subway train."
"The defendant's attack was premeditated, it was carefully planned, and it caused terror among the victims and our entire city," she said.
James fled after the scene, triggering a day-long manhunt until he was detained by officers on a Manhattan street.
"What happened in the New York subway system Tuesday was a tragedy. It's a blessing that it was not worse," his lawyer Mia Eisner-Grynberg told the federal court in Brooklyn.
She highlighted that James was arrested peacefully after calling a tip line himself, adding that "initial press and police reports in cases like this are often inaccurate. Mr. James is entitled to a fair trial."
"Mr. James saw his photograph on the news, he called Crime Stoppers to help, he told them where he was," she said.
Many New Yorkers were on edge while James was a fugitive, and the $50,000 police reward for finding him sparked a range of competing claims -- despite James' apparent role in his own arrest.
Zack Tahhan, a 21-year-old Syrian security camera technician, was quickly crowned a hero on social media after telling reporters he had spotted the suspect, followed him and alerted a passing police car.
But the New York Times said a hardware store manager and a portrait painter also claimed to have spotted James and notified police just before his arrest.
US district attorneys have said James could face a life sentence if convicted of violating a federal prohibition on "terrorist and other violent attacks against mass transportation systems."
Police recovered a Glock 17 nine-millimeter handgun, three additional ammunition magazines and a hatchet from the site of the attack.
James had posted several videos of himself on YouTube delivering long, sometimes aggressive political tirades, as well as criticizing New York's mayor.

Firefighters took advantage of a brief break in the weather but gusty winds were expected to return Friday to southern New Mexico where a wildfire has claimed two lives and charred more than 200 homes.
The fire has forced the evacuation of about 5,000 people in the mountain community of Ruidoso, where the remains of a couple were found near a burned home as they tried to flee.
New Mexico State Police confirmed the blaze killed the two people after it started Tuesday from a windblown, downed power line. Their names have not been released.
Thousands of customers in the area remain without power, and Ruidoso schools have been closed until next week.
“We’ve had students who’ve lost their homes. We have to support them on Tuesday” when school resumes, said high school English teacher Sara Ames Brown. She said Thursday she was with students when they were evacuated by bus, with flames visible in the forest outside as they drove away.
Fire crews used a break in what had been a steady stream of relentless gusts to make headway against the flames on Thursday.
Incident Commander Dave Bales said the strategy was “attack while we can,” noting that winds were expected to pick up again Friday.
“We’re trying to keep this fire as small as possible, especially because it’s right in the community,” he said. “We’ve had a loss of a lot of structures so our crews are right there on the fire front going as direct as possible.”
The fire moved into a more densely populated area on Ruidoso’s northeastern side Wednesday afternoon, prompting more evacuations. Laura Rabon, a spokesperson for the Lincoln National Forest, interrupted a fire briefing and told people to get in their cars and leave after the flames jumped a road where crews were trying to hold the line.
Crews kept the flames from pushing further into the village on Wednesday, and Rabon said that progress continued Thursday as helicopters dropped water and ground crews secured lines on the east and south sides. They also put out hot spots in the neighborhoods where the flames raced through earlier this week.
The fire has torched an estimated 9 square miles (23 square kilometers) of forest and grass, and the strong winds that battered the area have left behind toppled trees and down power lines. Due to the power outage, the school district’s servers were down and email wasn’t working.
Six new large fires were reported Wednesday: three in Texas, two in Colorado and one in Oklahoma. In all, wildland firefighters and support personnel were trying to contain 11 large fires that have charred more than 40 square miles (103 square kilometers) in five states.
The National Interagency Fire Center reported Thursday that since the start of the year, 18,550 wildfires have burned about 1,250 square miles (3,237 square kilometers). That’s well above the 10-year average of 12,290 wildfires and 835 square miles (2162.64 square kilometers) burned.
Hotter and drier weather coupled with decades of fire suppression have contributed to an increase in the number of acres burned by wildfires, fire scientists say. The problem is exacerbated by a more than 20-year Western megadrought that studies link to human-caused climate change.
Elsewhere in New Mexico, wildfires were burning northwest of Ruidoso, along the Rio Grande south of Albuquerque, in mountains northwest of the community of Las Vegas and in grasslands along the Pecos River near the town of Roswell.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freddie Freeman stood on second base, removed his helmet, patted his heart with it and nodded his head in appreciation.
The crowd of 52,995 was chanting “Freddie! Freddie!” for, of all things, a ground-rule double by the newest Dodger.
“I usually don't get that at Dodger Stadium,” a smiling Freeman said.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, “First time I've seen something like that.”
Freeman scored the go-ahead run on Trea Turner's single and Will Smith added a three-run homer in the eighth inning, rallying Los Angeles past the Cincinnati Reds 9-3 on Thursday in just the second night home opener in Dodger Stadium history.
Freeman's family, including his father and grandfather, cheered in a suite for the slugger who returned home to Southern California in March when he signed with the Dodgers after spending his entire career in Atlanta.
“It was a nice welcome home for Freddie. That was their way of putting their arms around him,” Roberts said. “You could tell he was getting emotional. He kind of wears his emotions on his sleeve and I think our fans appreciate that.”
Freeman certainly wasn't getting any affection in LA last season. He and the Braves beat the Dodgers 4-2 in the NL Championship Series and Atlanta went on to win the World Series.
But now he's part of the home team.
Freeman's hit to deep left-center off Justin Wilson (0-1) led off the inning. He had extra time to soak up the applause while the Reds made a pitching change.
“That's as special as it gets right there,” Freeman said. “For the fans to be able to create a moment for me in the eighth inning is something I'll never forget.”
Turner followed with a single to right off Tony Santillan, sending Freeman charging home to give the Dodgers a 4-3 lead.
After taking a 3-0 lead in the first, the Dodgers went begging until scoring six runs in the eighth when they batted around.
Justin Turner walked, Trea Turner took second and both moved up on Santillan's wild pitch. After Max Muncy struck out, Smith blasted his shot to center. The ball hit the wall and then ricocheted off the glove of Jake Fraley and back into the park as the crowd erupted.
Ryan Hendrix came on and his wild pitch scored Chris Taylor. Mookie Betts' RBI single made it 9-3.
Blake Treinen (1-1) to the win with one scoreless inning of relief.
Freeman ignited the Dodgers' offense in the first with the first of five consecutive singles off Reds starter Luis Cessa. Trea Turner, Justin Turner, Muncy and Smith were part of the hit parade.
The Reds tied it 3-all on Brandon Drury's two-out homer off David Price in the seventh. Drury came in as a defensive replacement for 2021 NL Rookie of the Year Jonathan India, who got hurt in the fifth.
The Reds closed to 3-2 in the fifth on Aristides Aquino's two-run homer, just his second hit of the season. The left fielder struck out in his first two at-bats.
Dodgers starter Walker Buehler got yanked and promptly threw his glove against the dugout wall. He allowed two runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out four and walked three.
Cincinnati slugger Joey Votto doubled in the second, snapping an 0-for-11 skid.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Reds: 2B India left with a right hamstring injury after legging out a base hit. ... OF Tommy Pham (hand) could return Friday. He missed his second straight game after colliding with Nick Senzel in the outfield.
CHAVEZ RAVINE'S 60TH
The Reds and Dodgers played the first game at Dodger Stadium on April 10, 1962. The ballpark is the third-oldest in the majors and is hosting the All-Star Game in July.
The Dodgers began their season-long anniversary celebration by having Hall of Fame broadcaster Jaime Jarrín, in his 64th and final year as the team's Spanish-language voice, throw out the first pitch.
He was backed by Dodger greats Wes Parker, Rick Monday, Fernando Valenzuela, Adrian Beltre, Eric Gagne, Nomar Garciaparra and Adrian Gonzalez representing each decade of the stadium’s 60-year existence.
Two F-35 fighter jets roared over the field and members from all six military branches unfurled a giant American flag.
UP NEXT
Reds: RHP Vladimir Gutierrez (0-1, 4.15 ERA) starts Friday on Jackie Robinson Day around the majors. His career ERA in the first inning is 8.61 and 3.78 in subsequent innings.
Dodgers: RHP Tony Gonsolin (0-0, 3.00) has faced the Reds just once in his career. He tossed 2 1/3 innings of relief, allowing three earned runs and three hits, last September.

Russia's 'broken arrow': Fears that nuclear missiles sank with Putin's flagship Moskva amid claims that HUNDREDS of the 510 crew have drowned after being 'hit by Ukrainian missile'
- Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet, has been confirmed to have sunk near port of Sevastopol
- Experts and analysts are now warning that the warship may have been carrying two nuclear warheads
- They are calling for an urgent probe into 'broken arrow' incident - military slang for an accident with nukes
- Meanwhile questions remain over the fate of Moskva's 510-strong crew, most of whom are unaccounted for
Russia's Black Sea flagship which sank yesterday after an explosion on board may have been carrying nuclear warheads, analysts and experts have warned today, as they called for an emergency investigation into the threat.
The Moskva, a Soviet-era guided missile cruiser, sank near the port of Sevastopol on Thursday after Ukraine said it hit the ship with two cruise missiles, causing it to roll over. Russia has admitted the vessel sank after a fire and explosion on board, but has not said what caused the blaze.
There are now fears that the Moskva could have taken two nuclear warheads into the depths in what could turn into a 'broken arrow' incident - American military slang for an accident involving nuclear weapons.
Mykhailo Samus, director of a Lviv-based military think-tank; Andriy Klymenko, editor of Black Sea News; and Ukrainian newspaper Defence Express all warned today that the Moskva was designed to carry warheads which could be fitting into the nose of its supersonic P-1000 missiles - designed to take out American aircraft carriers.
'On board the Moskva could be nuclear warheads - two units,' Samus said, while Klymenko called on other Black Sea nations - Turkey, Romania, Georgia, and Bulgaria - to insist on an explanation. Where are these warheads? Where were they when the ammunition exploded,' he asked.
Meanwhile Defence Express said that it had 'interviewed experts, including designers and naval officers, who unanimously and independently gave the following answer - there is a real possibility that the affected flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet could have had nuclear munitions on board.
The paper added: 'Are nuclear munitions always on board, or are they loaded only by special order?'
Speculation about a nuclear disaster swirled as questions also remained over the Moskva's 510-strong crew, who have been largely unaccounted for since the ship was struck amid the expectation that hundreds will have died in the on-board explosion.
So-far, only around 50 of the crew are accounted for - having been picked up by a Turkish vessel - with another 14 reportedly flown to the port of Sevastopol, leaving around 450 whose fates are unknown. Russia claims to have evacuated the entire crew, but video taken in Sevastopol overnight shows dozens of cars purportedly belonging to the sailors still parked in the port - suggesting their owners had not returned to collect them.
The Moskva - pictured leaving port at Sevastopol for the last time on April 10 - may have been carrying two nuclear warheads when it sank yesterday after a fire and explosion on board, experts and analysts have warned
Moskva could have been carrying warheads to fit into the tip of its Moskva's P-1000 supersonic cruise missiles, which are designed to take out American aircraft carriers
Russia says the Moskva sank after a fire and explosion on board, which Ukraine claims was caused when it was struck by two of its Neptune cruise missiles fired by a coastal battery
Explosions on comparably-sized ships often produce hundreds of deaths. When the General Belgrano - an Argentinian warship - was struck by two British torpedoes during the Falklands War, the resulting blast killed a total of 334 people. The Belgrano was smaller than the Moskva, and its ammunition did not explode.
The Moskva got into trouble overnight Wednesday as it sailed around 60 miles off the coast of Odesa, Ukraine's largest port and main naval base. The Ukrainian military said it was struck with two Neptune cruise missiles fired by a coastal battery, which struck the port side of the vessel.
Russian military sources said the ship had rolled on to its side and caught fire after the blast, while US intelligence sources said the vessel suffered a 'large' explosion that left it heavily damaged before it sank.
Moscow has said only that the vessel suffered a fire and blast before its navy attempted to tow the ship back to Sevastopol, but during the operation it sank in rough seas. The exact location of the wreck is unknown.
The loss of the Moskva - the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet and the vessel that was told to 'go f*** yourself' by Ukrainian troops as it demanded their surrender on Snake Island - is a huge propaganda win for Kyiv as well as another embarrassing loss for Putin's beleaguered armed forces.
Moskva's sinking also has practical implications for Russia. As flagship, the vessel was likely tasked with coordinating the movements of other ships in the Black Sea which may cause further confusion among Russia's already-strained command structure.
Its role was also to provide cover for Russia's other ships using its anti-air missiles while they launched cruise missiles attacks against cities and military sites. Its loss will make them more-vulnerable to Ukrainian strikes, including by fast jets or drones.
Earlier, a United States defence official said that Russia had moved its other vessels 80 miles away from the Ukrainian shore - a suspected attempt to get out of missile range - after the ship was damaged.
Questions will inevitably be asked inside the Kremlin over how one of its capital ships was destroyed by a country with no operational navy. Since the war broke out, Russia's naval forces have been positioned off the coast of Ukraine to provide support to its ground troops, and to block off Kyiv's access to the coast.
H I Sutton, a respected naval analyst, points out that the vessel has spent the last two months sailing in a 'predictable' pattern around the Black Sea - generally sitting in waters close to Snake Island.
Sutton also points out that the ship's defences were 'dated'. It was initially built in 1983 by the Soviet Union, and underwent a major refit and recommissioning in 2000. But updates since then have been piecemeal with a major refit in 2015 cancelled - potentially leaving it vulnerable to modern weaponry.
On Thursday night, Western officials said Ukrainian reports of the operation were ‘credible’ and the attack demonstrated their ability to strike the Russians in areas where they assumed they were invulnerable.
One said: ‘The incident represents another enormous loss in terms of Russian credibility. They’ve been shown again to be vulnerable to attack. This is a question of competence. This is supposed to be a military which has modernised itself over the last decade.
‘The Ukrainians have used their imagination and proved so resourceful. They are able to act on the fly to have an effect on Russian forces.’
Western officials also dismissed Russia’s excuses for the incident, after Moscow officials suggested there had merely been a fire aboard the Moskva, which led to the explosion of a large amount of ammunition.
An official added: ‘I can’t definitively tell you exactly what happened. But I am not aware previously of a fire on board a capital warship, which would lead to the ammunition exploding.’
The loss of the warship, named after the Russian capital, is a devastating symbolic defeat for Moscow as its troops regroup for a renewed offensive in eastern Ukraine after retreating from much of the north, including the capital.
The ship can carry 16 long-range cruise missiles, and its removal from combat reduces Russia's firepower in the Black Sea. It is also a blow to Russian prestige in a war already widely seen as a historic blunder.
Now entering its eighth week, Russia's invasion has stalled because of resistance from Ukrainian fighters bolstered by weapons and other aid sent by Western nations. The news of the flagship's damage overshadowed Russian claims of advances in the southern port city of Mariupol, where they have been battling the Ukrainians since the early days of the invasion in some of the heaviest fighting of the war - at a horrific cost to civilians.
The flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet - the Soviet-era guided missile destroyer Moskva - has suffered heavy damage and may have sunk after Ukraine claimed to have shot it with two anti-ship cruise missiles
Russian Telegram accounts with links to the Wagner Group claim Bayraktar drones were used to distract the Moskva's radar systems before a coastal battery opened fire somewhere near Odesa, hitting the ship with two Neptune missiles
Dozens of cars, purportedly belonging to the crew of the Moskva, were still parked in Sevastopol yesterday - suggesting their owners had not returned to collect them
The Moskva is supposed to be equipped with powerful radar arrays to guide its anti-ship, anti-air and anti-submarine missiles which are also used to operate six 'close-in weapons systems' that are designed to take out incoming missiles.
It is not clear exactly how the Ukrainians were able to penetrate these defences. Sources linked to Russia's Wagner group suggest Bayraktar drones may have been used to distract or overwhelm radar before the attack, though it is also possible the drones were being used as spotters to direct the incoming missiles on to target.
The same Russian military sources claim the Moskva was hit twice on its port side by the missiles, rolled over and caught fire. Ukrainian media has been awash with claims that the ship has sunk, though Russia's defence ministry has denied this - saying it remains 'buoyant' and will be towed to port.
Russia first admitted, via state media, that the vessel has sustained serious damage after a fire caused ammunition on board to explode but made no mention of a Ukrainian attack - saying only that the cause is under investigation.
The defence ministry also said the crew has been evacuated, but made no mention of casualties.
Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian ministry of defence, believes that 'hundreds' of sailors may have died in the blast - a view shared by Ilya Ponomarev, an anti-Putin Russian politician, who said that only 50 of the 510-strong crew have so-far been confirmed as rescued.
That account tallies with information put out by the Lithuanian Minister of National Defense, Arvydas Anušauskas. Posting on social media today, he wrote: 'An SOS signal was given from the Russian cruiser Moscow at 1.05am.
'[At] 1.14am The cruiser lay on its side and after half an hour all the electricity went out. From 2am, the Turkish ship evacuated 54 sailors from the cruiser, and at about 3am, Turkey and Romania reported that the ship was completely sunk. The related losses of Russian personnel are not yet known, although there were 485 people on board (66 of them officers).'
The loss of the Moskva marks the single-largest casualty inflicted by Ukraine on the Russian military during the war so-far and one of the largest ships lost in combat since the end of the Second World War.
It also marks another humiliating loss for Putin's armed forces, with the Russian leader said to be 'furious' after being given the news.
April 10: The Moskva (pictured last week near the port of Sevastopol) has been helping coordinate Russian naval operation in the Black Sea, which has seen ships set up a distant blockade of Ukrainian ports and open fire on cities with cruise missiles
April 7: The Moskva is pictured in Sevastopol, occupied Crimea, which is the home port of Russia's Black Sea fleet. The Soviet-era ship leads the fleet, and is equipped with anti-ship, anti-air and anti-submarine missiles
According to Russian media, Putin was informed overnight about the loss of the ship and was erroneously told that the attack was carried out with British weapons.
Putin was 'furious' in a way 'never seen before', the General SVR Telegram channel said.
The channel claims inside knowledge from a former secret serviceman with links inside the Kremlin.
Neither Ukraine or Russia has given an official account of what happened to the Moskva - though sources speaking to Telegram channel Reverse Side of the Medal, which has links to the Russian Wager military group, have given a detailed account.
According to those sources, the Moskva was sailing in the Black Sea between the Ukrainian port cities of Odesa and Mykolaiv when it was targeted on Wednesday evening.
Ukraine reportedly used Turkish-made Bayraktar drones to distract the ship's missile defences, allowing two Neptune missiles fired from a coastal battery to sneak through.
They struck the ship on the port side, the sources claimed, causing it to partially roll over. Choppy conditions at sea combined with the roll meant the ship began taking on water.
Due to fears that the ship's ammunition could detonate, the Moskva was evacuated and has now sunk, the sources added.
Ponomarev, writing on his own Telegram account today, gave credence to that account. He wrote: 'The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the missile cruiser Moskva, was launched to the bottom by two Ukrainian-made Neptune missiles.
'The ammunition detonated on it, and at about 2:00am local time, it fell on its left side and sank.
'At the moment, it is reliably known about the rescue of 50 people out of 510 crew members.
'For comparison, 107 people died during the Kursk submarine disaster [in the year 2000].
'Now Putin has on him Tsushima [a devastating naval battle between Japan and Russia in 1905] in the as well as Srebrenica - all during one month. How skillful indeed.'
Ukraine has not confirmed this account, though has claimed to have carried out a successful strike on the Moskva.
It is thought the Neptune battery opened fire from somewhere around Odesa, which is Ukraine's main naval base and port city where anti-ship batteries have previously been recorded firing.
Neptune missiles have a maximum range of 170 miles, putting the area of ocean around Snake Island - where the Moskva has been spending much of its time - well within striking distance.
Odesa governor Maksym Marchenko wrote on Telegram yesterday: 'Neptune missiles guarding the Black Sea caused very serious damage to the Russian ship. Glory to Ukraine!'
Ukrainian presidential advisor Oleksiy Arestovych said that 'a surprise happened with the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet', the Moskva - a 600-foot, 12,500 tonne Project 1164 Slava class guided missile cruiser that was first launched in 1979.
'It burns strongly. Right now. And with this stormy sea it is unknown whether they will be able to receive help. There are 510 crew members,' he said in a YouTube broadcast. 'We don't understand what happened.'
As news came in of the explosion, weather conditions in the Black Sea were reported to be poor, raising questions over whether the warship could stay afloat if it was severely damaged in the explosion and evacuated.
It also came days after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with Ukraine's Presidnet Voldymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, and vowed to send Ukraine 120 armoured vehicles and new anti-ship missile systems to help with the battle against Russia.
Russian news agencies said the Moskva was armed with 16 anti-ship 'Vulkan' cruise missiles with a range of at least 440 miles. Interfax did not give more details of the incident.
In April 2021, the agency quoted a retired Russian admiral as saying 'this is the most serious ship in the Black Sea'.
The Moskva was also deployed during Russia's war in Syria as a deterrent against aircraft from rival nations intervening in the conflict. It was deployed after a Turkish jet shot down a Russian fighter accused of violating its airspace close to the Syrian border in November 2015.
Ukraine claims the Moskva was struck by two Neptune cruise missiles fired from a secret location somewhere near Odesa (pictured, a test-fire of the Neptune missile takes place in 2019)
Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island filmed a Russian warship before it attacked in February
The Mosvka (Moscow) gained notoriety early in Moscow's war when Ukrainian border troops defending the strategic 'Snake Island' were heard in a viral audio recording telling the warship to 'go f**k yourself' after its crew called on them to surrender.
The 13 defenders of the island were taken into custody by Russian forces, and later released. Roman Gribov, who made the now-famous comment, received a medal.
Last month Ukraine said it had destroyed a large Russian landing support ship, the Orsk, on the smaller Sea of Azov to the northeast of the Black Sea.
Moscow has not commented on what had happened to the ship, but satellite imagery showed a large vessel destroyed and partially sunk in Berdyansk.
The Moskva missile cruiser left Sevastopol, Crimea in February for the Black Sea as part of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, launched by Vladimir Putin on February 24.
Roman and his colleagues had been stationed on the 40-acre Snake Island near the Ukrainian and Romanian coasts on the Black Sea, and were on the small speck of land when the Moskva arrived.
The rocky island - known as Zmiinyi Island in Ukrainian – has a marine research station and is understood to be strategically important because of its resources including petroleum.
The recording of a Naval radio channel featured a Russian officer aboard the Moskva giving an ultimatum to Ukrainian forces on the island to surrender, or face being annihilated by the warship's missiles.
The voice said: 'This is a military warship. This is a Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed. Do you copy?'
After a short period of silence, Roman is heard asking a colleague, 'Well this is it, should I tell him to go f**k himself?' Another voice said, 'Just in case…'
The volume was turned up as Roman responded: 'Russian warship, go f**k yourself.'
His words came to epitomise the David v Goliath spirit that has marked Ukraine's spirited resistance against the Russian war machine. Roman's pugnacious message even prompted a patriotic poster campaign across the nation.
Although Ukrainian officials initially said all 13 guards had died in the subsequent Russian attack, President Zelensky later said some of them survived.
A civilian ship called 'Sapphire' was sent to Snake Island to check on casualties after the island was seized by the Russians, but the crew also ended up being captured.
They held for a month in a secret jail in Russia where Roman lost 22 pounds and was 'degraded', but he later insisted he is 'not a hero'.
Ukraine warned late on Wednesday that Russia was ramping up efforts in the South and East as it seeks full control of Mariupol, in what would be the first major city to fall. Western governments are sending more military aid to bolster Kyiv.
Russia's defence ministry on Wednesday said 1,026 soldiers from Ukraine's 36th Marine Brigade, including 162 officers, had surrendered in Mariupol, which has been besieged for weeks, and that the port was fully under its control.
Border guard Roman Gribov right, who served on Snake Island and on the first day of Russia's invasion, became famous for his response to an ultimatum from the Russian missile cruiser Moskva, shouting to the invaders: 'Russian warship, go f**k yourself'. He later returned home from captivity and was awarded a medal (pictured)
Capturing its Azovstal industrial district, where the marines have been holed up, would give the Russians full control of Ukraine's main Sea of Azov port, reinforce a southern land corridor and expand its occupation of the country's East.
Ukraine's general staff said Russian forces were attacking Azovstal and the port, but a defence ministry spokesman said he had no information about any surrender.
'Russian forces are increasing their activities on the southern and eastern fronts, attempting to avenge their defeats,' President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a Wednesday night video address.
Reuters journalists accompanying Russian-backed separatists saw flames billowing from the Azovstal area on Tuesday, a day after Ukraine's 36th Marine Brigade said its troops had run out of ammunition.
The United States announced on Wednesday an extra $800 million in military assistance including artillery systems, armoured personnel carriers and helicopters. This took total U.S. military aid to more than $2.5 billion. France and Germany also pledged more.
Senior U.S. officials are weighing whether to send a top cabinet member such as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin Lloyd to Kyiv in a show of solidarity, a source familiar with the situation said.
Russia will view U.S. and NATO vehicles transporting weapons on Ukrainian territory as legitimate military targets, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the TASS news agency.
It will impose tit-for-tat sanctions on 398 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 87 Canadian senators, Interfax cited the foreign ministry as saying, after Washington targeted 328 members of Russia's lower house of parliament.
Britain announced new financial measures on separatists.
Ukraine says tens of thousands of people are believed to have been killed in Mariupol and accuses Russia of blocking aid convoys to civilians marooned there.
Its mayor, Vadym Boichenko, said Russia had brought in mobile crematoria 'to get rid of evidence of war crimes' - a statement that was not possible to verify.

According to the Money Saving Expert team you get can £175 for free just by switching banks.
HSBC is using the payment as an incentive for new customers to switch to using them for their HSBC Advance current account. However, you do need to meet a certain criteria in order to sign up, reports The Mirror.
Only those who haven’t had a HSBC current account, or opened one with First Direct, since January 2019 will be eligible for the offer. You must also transfer across two direct debits or standing orders and pay in £1,500 within the first 60 days of opening your account.
READ MORE:Martin Lewis' tips for helping households spend less including washing machine hacks
To get the free cash, you need to click on the link on the MoneySavingExpert website. This link will take you to the HSBC website.
The £175 is then paid within 30 days. You don’t have to pay in a certain amount each month with the HSBC account. The switch process is dealt with through the Current Account Switch Process and must be completed within 30 days of opening your HSBC account.
The HSBC Advance account comes with an arranged and unarranged overdraft with a rate of 39.9% EAR variable. The first £25 of your arranged overdraft is interest free.
HSBC isn’t the only account offering a switch bribe right now, as Martin explains in the MoneySavingExpert guide: "If you're unhappy with your bank, switching is quick and easy – and now's a great time to do it as six banks currently pay for your custom with up to £175 cash. Yet you don't need to switch to get a good deal – other accounts give cashback on bills or pay savings interest."
First Direct is the next top paying, offering £150 to new customers who switch their main account, or £20 just for opening a new account. This applies to its First Direct 1st Account. There isn’t a minimum monthly pay in, but you do need to deposit £1,000 within the first three months.
Both RBS and Halifax are offering £125 for new and existing customers who switch their current account. To get this payment, you need to move your current account to either the RBS Reward or Halifax Reward accounts.
Nationwide is also running a £125 switch incentive, again for both new and existing customers, for its Nationwide FlexDirect account. Finally, Virgin Money is offering 20,000 Virgin Red points to spend on experiences and gifts if you move to its Virgin Money M Plus account.
Again, you need to meet the eligibility criteria for all the above accounts to qualify for any switch reward. When moving bank accounts, make sure you’re getting the right service for you and don’t just change for the switch bribes alone.

‘A kick in the gut’: August season start a double blow for some AFLW players
By Sarah Burt
Through a twist, Harriet Cordner could miss two AFLW seasons in just a matter of months.
Richmond’s vice-captain had her 2022 season ended in round three against Fremantle in January, when she was injured in an innocuous second-quarter incident. Scans confirmed a full reconstruction was needed.
She was one of at least nine AFLW players to rupture their ACL in the 2022 season, with others including the Western Bulldogs’ Isabel Huntington and Collingwood stars Brianna Davey and Brittany Bonnici. The serious knee injury normally wipes out one season, but these players are now in danger of missing two because of a much shorter break than usual, with a mooted August start.
Cordner says the sharp turnaround from an April finale to an August start ignores the one thing AFLW players explicitly asked for in their early dealings with the AFL: enough notice to arrange time off from their day jobs.
“It’s just a bit of a kick in the gut,” she said.
“It’s all happened pretty quickly, in terms of us hearing about the proposal to that change of start date, it all sort of came quite suddenly.
“It was obviously quite hard to take early on just because I got to a point where I accepted that I was missing the rest of this season and thought I’ve just got to knuckle down on my rehab, and then I’ll be coming back and working towards next season.”
The granddaughter of Brownlow medallist Don Cordner was recruited by Melbourne as a category B rookie ahead of the maiden AFLW season, and conceded that the change of dates is a step the league needed to take eventually.
“I’m in two minds, because I think that it’s probably the right time for the competition, but obviously, for me, it’s not ideal that it’s happening this year. But secondary to that, it’s probably not ideal for most girls because it’s such a quick turnaround,” she said.
Cordner said her main concern was the lack of notice as the athletes juggled the part-time nature of an AFLW career.
“Last year, part of the CBA [collective bargaining agreement] was that we were given six months’ notice of our season start date because in the first couple of years of the competition it all got thrown together so late,” Cordner said.
The defender cited multiple reasons for needing notice, one being the Irish players who split their time between AFLW and home, as well as most athletes taking leave or going part-time in their day jobs to accommodate the AFLW season with the promise they would be available to work for the rest of the year.
“This isn’t the first time it’s happened, and we said it was one of our biggest priorities when we were asked early in the competition … as a collective through the AFLPA we identified that we needed to be given notice so that we can accommodate both our work and our footy, so this in itself goes completely against that,” she said.
“In amongst all of this, it’s sort of just … the one thing we asked for, we haven’t got.”
The AFLPA’s player and stakeholder manager, Brett Murphy, said the union was acutely aware of the urgency of the decision.
“While most players are conceptually supportive of the proposed changes, there are practical realities that need to be addressed before any changes to season timing can be made,” Murphy said.
“The 2022 season has been the most challenging season to date for players.
“It has taken a mental and physical toll on players because of the compressing of matches, and, in many cases, players having suffered a period of illness through COVID-19.
“For this proposed change to become a reality, there are a number of critical issues that need to be worked through by the industry including rules for expansion clubs, particularly in relation to players, a new CBA, as well as sign and trade period details” he said.
“For the coming season to start in August, players and clubs must have enough time to prepare for any changes that are being considered.”
Murphy said the CBA was the “highest priority at the moment, so the industry has the best opportunity of bringing next season forward to an August start date and ensure AFLW players have the notice they need”.
Cordner reiterated that the toll of the pandemic and travel restrictions have had on the competition was significant.
“I’ve seen it first hand, and to expect the girls to come out and do that again, back-to-back, is a pretty big expectation.”
If the August start date does come to fruition, that won’t be the only shake-up for the season – four new expansion teams are also due to enter the league.
“It’s an interesting time to do it with expansion coming in,” said Cordner.
“I don’t know what they’re thinking of doing with the draft age, but we had a few girls in year 12 that were picked up this year, and those girls really struggled to get to all the trainings. So I’m not quite sure how they plan to support the girls who are in the middle of year 12.”
The flip side, Cordner said, was that the change of season dates inevitably needed to happen.
“Having said all that, I do think it probably is the right time to play AFLW. So I think, at some point, you’ve probably got to bite the bullet and just do it and I guess that would probably be the AFL’s mentality.”

NY Gov. Hochul rails against 'insanity' of NYC crime surge and ignores obvious solutions
Less 'tough talk' in Brooklyn and more corrective action in Albany would turn around the crime problem
During times of fear and uncertainty, a political leader’s words and presence can serve to inform, inspire and motivate.
President Franklin Roosevelt’s "Day of Infamy" address before Congress after the Pearl Harbor attack and New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s 9/11 communications immediately come to mind. But exemplary leadership examples of elected officials meeting the moment during times of crisis appear far more the exception than the norm.
Case in point: New York’s elected Democrats quickly assembled in Brooklyn on Tuesday, following a mass shooting in the subway, allegedly perpetrated by Frank R. James, a 62-year-old Black male with a lengthy criminal history and a propensity for racist social media screeds.
With a national audience tuned in to the hastily-assembled press conference coordinated by city officials, of paramount concern was the status of the manhunt for the shooter (now in custody). And yet, taking literally the immortal words of one-time Democratic Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul – facing tough election challenges from both flanks this year – certainly wasn’t about to allow this precious crisis opportunity to go to waste.
Following New York City’s First Deputy Mayor Lorraine Grillo (Mayor Eric Adams was quarantining during a bout with COVID-19) and NYPD Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell to the podium, the governor began with this bit of insipid banality:
"This morning, ordinary New Yorkers woke up in anticipation of a relatively normal day … That sense of tranquility and normalness was disrupted – brutally disrupted – by an individual so col-hearted and depraved of heart that they had no caring about the individuals that they assaulted as they simply went about their daily lives."
The governor is relatively new to this chief executive business, leading a state now plagued by one-party rule. She inherited the top position last August when Andrew Cuomo was forced to step down following a litany of sexual harassment allegations.
NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SHOOTING ATTACK TIMELINE
She followed up this gift by appointing as her lieutenant governor a progressive Democrat, Brian Benjamin, 45, who formerly served as a New York state senator, and was just arrested following his indictment on federal corruption charges for participating in a campaign finance scheme. While a state senator, Benjamin was also notorious for his open support for the "defund the police" movement.
One has to believe that Hochul’s poor talent assessment was predicated on her desperate need to bridge the Democratic Party divide between the moderates and the progressive, anti-police fringe.
Her political calculus – similar to Mayor Eric Adams’ ongoing pivot to address the surge of criminality in New York City – is transparent. But in the wake of what appears to be an act of terror in the Brooklyn subway and Hochul’s recent, tepid attempts to tweak the Democrats’ bail reform disaster, her "tough on crime" bluster rings hollow, served up as opportunistic pablum:
"The people in the entire state of New York stand with the people of this city, this community, and we say, ‘No more.’ No more mass shootings. No more disrupting lives. No more creating heartbreak for people just trying to live their lives as normal New Yorkers."
Lacing her address with platitudes and bromides, she vowed to commit the state’s "full resources" as a means to address "the insanity of these crimes." Without a hint of irony and ignoring Albany’s complicity in the current crime proliferation, she lamented "this surge of crime, this insanity that is seizing our city."
Spare me the self-righteous, moral indignation.
NYC SUBWAY SHOOTING: MAN WHO ALERTED POLICE TO SUSPECT REVEALS MOMENTS BEFORE ARREST
One cannot fairly lay the responsibility for James’ depraved attack on anyone else’s doorstep. This evil, madman is allegedly culpable for the heinous crimes committed in Brooklyn on Tuesday. And yet the Democrats, the political party in control of New York – which controls all levers of power – should accept responsibility for the continued diminution of what was once America’s safest big city.
I arrived in New York City as a freshly-minted FBI agent in 1991 -- the year that followed the bloodiest year on record, when 2,245 victims were murdered. Witnessing the epic turnaround accomplished by true "tough-on-crime" Gotham mayors, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, along with their proactive police commissioners, Bill Bratton and Ray Kelly, was inspiring.

But we exist in wholly different times now. The policing profession has been smeared, slandered, marginalized and demonized. Recruitment and retention in departments across the country has been impacted. Morale is abysmal.
Honest, experienced law enforcement officers are retiring in droves. Scores of prisons are being shuttered while criminal recidivists enjoy the fruits of bail reform’s turnstile-like "justice." And yet the liberal Democrats who step in front of microphones to express their concerns following an attack like the one in Brooklyn, appear aghast at the consequences their policies have wrought.

Crime on the subways has dramatically increased. Open drug use, brazen thefts, and cops reluctant or fearful to engage are all part of the new permissive criminal environment that one-party rule has gifted us on behalf of "progress."
So please understand this, Governor Hochul: New York is suffering. And it appears it is going to get worse. Less "tough talk" in Brooklyn and more corrective action in Albany is the antidote.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have visited Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle on their first joint visit to the U.K. since they gave up formal royal roles and moved to the U.S. more than two years ago.
The couple’s office says they visited the 95-year-old queen, Harry’s grandmother, Thursday on their way to the Netherlands to attend the Invictus Games. Harry is a founder and patron of the international sports competition for wounded military veterans.
Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals and moved to North America in 2020, citing the unbearable pressure of their roles and racist attitudes of the British media.
The couple, also known as the duke and duchess of Sussex, lost their taxpayer-funded police guard when they walked away, and Harry is suing the British government for refusing to let him pay for his own police security on his visits to the U.K. His lawyers say Harry wants to bring his children — Archie, who is almost 3, and 10-month-old Lilibet — to visit his home country but that it is too risky without police protection.
Harry and Meghan are expected to attend a reception in The Hague on Friday for the Invictus Games, which run from Saturday to April 22.
The visit to the queen came on Maundy Thursday, a day in the week before Easter that the queen for decades marked by distributing silver coins known as “Maundy money” to pensioners at a church service. This year the queen, who has been experiencing mobility issues in recent months and came down with COVID-19 in February, did not attend. She was represented by her eldest son, Prince Charles, and his wife Camilla.
The monarch also is expected to miss the royal family’s Easter Sunday church service. She has continued to perform royal duties, including virtual audiences with politicians and diplomats.

Nearly two years after George Floyd's murder under the knee of a police officer, his brother Terrence Floyd is still fighting for justice and police reform.
"[Police reform] is changing, but it's not changing at a rapid pace," says Terrence. "But it's changing. Nothing in the physical form will change until you change your mindset."
And in the fight to get justice for his brother's murder, Terrence has turned to the unlikeliest corners to do just that: NFTs — or non-fungible tokens. An NFT is a piece of code that renders itself as art and that has a unique "bar code," or token, on the blockchain, a decentralized record-keeping system with a shared public record. Owning an NFT is a bit like owning the original of a collectible such as a baseball card.
Terrence Floyd, founder of the nonprofit We Are Floyd Org — an organization creating initiatives to help communities deal with mental health issues, poverty and social injustice — is working with Confront Art to release 9,000 NFTs on mintNFT.com in honor of Justice Day, which is April 15.
The proceeds from the project will go to three charities: the Breonna Taylor Foundation, the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation and We Are Floyd Org.
In addition, the charity campaign will partner with the families of the late Rep. John Lewis, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, along with participation from Grammy Award-winning singer and former TV host Dionne Warwick.
I am excited to announce the charity NFT project #SEEINJUSTICE with @ConfrontArt to support and raise funds for @wearefloyd_, the Breonna Taylor Foundation, and John Lewis Foundation. This will be available on @mintnftofficial on 4/15. Okay…goodnight 🥰
— Dionne Warwick (@dionnewarwick) April 4, 2022
"I certainly support this project," says Warwick. "There are many people I know that this will benefit. And it will be something that's an approachable way for people to get involved."
Its goal is to inspire others to co-create artwork
As the campaign gears up for its launch, organizers say they're aiming to celebrate and support diverse emerging NFT artists and their work while also helping the charities.
"We are constantly looking for innovative ways to support artists and charities," said Confront Art co-founders Andrew Cohen and Lindsay Eshelman in a news release. "We are excited to bring together entertainment legends and emerging artists alike for a major movement for social justice and charity in the metaverse."
"I hope that this message will reach enough people to have them participate in this — and that is vitally important," Warwick says of the NFT charity campaign. "We must raise these funds."
According to the organizers, the NFT campaign is an extension of Confront Art's "SEEINJUSTICE" series, which debuted sculptures of Lewis, Taylor and Floyd by artist Chris Carnabuci.
The sculptures were installed in New York City's Union Square last year in the wake of the country's racial unrest in the summer of 2020.
"My brother's death was a catalyst for change," Terrence Floyd said in a news release. "[However], we cannot let that change and that momentum slow."
A racial divide in the country
With the U.S. approaching the two-year anniversary of Floyd's murder, his brother said in the news release that there's still tension and division among Americans when it comes to racial injustice:
There is still a huge divide in this country. ... If we can start on a community level, creating educational opportunities and safe spaces for the youth to gather and learn, then we can create change and hope where there once was a void."
In February, a federal jury found three former Minneapolis police officers, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao, guilty of violating Floyd's civil rights.
The three each faced federal civil rights charges over their conduct on May 25, 2020, when they joined Derek Chauvin in holding 46-year-old Floyd to the ground for about nine minutes as they kept bystanders away.
All three were charged with willfully and without due process depriving Floyd of his right to liberty. The statutory maximum sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights resulting in his death is life in prison.
A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.
Since Floyd's murder, a series of high-profile judicial decisions have been made in other police brutality cases involving Black people.
In mid-February, Kim Potter, the former police officer convicted of manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright, was sentenced to two years in state custody, with 16 months to be served in prison and the rest on supervised release.
And in March, former Louisville, Ky., police officer Brett Hankinson, who was involved in the deadly raid on 26-year-old Breonna Taylor's apartment, was found not guilty. Hankinson was the only officer involved in the raid to face charges.
As the country continues to tackle the issue of racial equity, Warwick emphasizes that individuals need to be on the same page in order to fight injustice.
"Conversations, I think, are truly the key," says Warwick. "Getting [people] to be able to understand, first of all, each other, is important."
NFTs are a gift that will last over time
Hype surrounding cryptocurrency and NFTs is on the rise. From drawings to photos and even music, much of the hype is simply about the concept of using tech to sell art digitally.
"Remember those days [when] people would line up for the newest Nike Air Jordan sneakers at the physical store? This is the new digital equivalent," Katie Haun, a general partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, told NPR last year.
"It's everything that brings together culture, and it's also a bet on the future of e-commerce," Haun added.
But when it comes to NFTs, some are on the fence regarding the safety, viability and ethics of cryptocurrency.
"For people who participate in the NFT space as purchasers (and even issuers), there needs to be a fairly healthy dose of diligence," says Tim Nielsen, an attorney and the founder of Cloutchain, a fan engagement and social platform.
Nielsen says though there's some skepticism surrounding NFTs and cryptocurrency when it comes to philanthropy, the benefits outweigh the risks.
"One interesting thing about blockchain technology is that the transactions are all publicly traceable," he says. "These are risks that have some counterbalances and positives."

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Friday he plans to nominate Michael Barr, the dean of the University of Michigan's public policy school, to be the Federal Reserve's vice chairman of supervision.
The selection of Barr comes after Biden’s first choice for the Fed post, Sarah Bloom Raskin, withdrew her nomination a month ago in the face of opposition from Republicans and one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Raskin's critics had argued that she would apply the Fed’s regulatory authority to climate change and possibly discourage banks from lending to energy companies.
But with Barr, Biden noted the importance of politics in a Friday statement that said his nominee had previously cleared the Senate on a bipartisan basis.
“Michael brings the expertise and experience necessary for this important position at a critical time for our economy and families across the country,” Biden said.
The Democratic president said that Barr “has spent his career protecting consumers, and during his time at Treasury, played a critical role in creating both the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the position for which I am nominating him.”
Barr is the dean of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. He was an assistant Treasury secretary for financial institutions during the Obama administration who helped design the 2010 Dodd-Frank regulations after the devastating 2008 financial crisis.
Barr, a Rhodes Scholar who clerked for Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court, also served during the Clinton administration at the White House, the Treasury Department and the State Department.
Despite those credentials, some liberal critics last year blocked Barr’s candidacy to become the Biden administration’s comptroller of the currency, a position that is responsible for regulating national banks. These critics viewed with suspicion Barr’s role on the advisory boards of the financial firms Lending Club and Ripple Labs. They also asserted that he had helped dilute proposals for stricter bank regulations during the Obama administration.
But Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, the Democratic chairman of the Banking Committee, voiced full support for Barr.
“Michael Barr understands the importance of this role at this critical time in our economic recovery,” Brown said. "I strongly urge my Republican colleagues to abandon their old playbook of personal attacks and demagoguery and put Americans and their pocketbooks first.”
Others offer strong praise for Barr and say he appears well suited for the Fed position.
David Dworkin, president of the National Housing Conference, which advocates for affordable housing, suggested that Barr’s understanding of Wall Street gives him the right mix of “centrist expertise and progressive policy views’’ to win confirmation in a closely divided Senate.
Barr would be joining the Fed at an especially challenging and high-risk period for the central bank and the economy.
The Fed is set to raise interest rates aggressively in the coming months to try to reduce persistently high inflation. Yet it will be extraordinarily difficult for Fed Chair Jerome Powell — who is awaiting Senate confirmation for a second term — to slow inflation by raising borrowing costs without also weakening the economy and perhaps even causing a recession.
“This is about landing a very complicated plane on the runway smoothly,” Dworkin said. “It’s very hard to do.”

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Unbroken by a Russian blockade and relentless bombardment, the key port of Mariupol is still holding out, a symbol of staunch Ukrainian resistance that has thwarted the Kremlin's invasion plans.
More than six weeks after the Russian siege began, Ukrainian troops are continuing to fight the vastly superior Russian forces in ferocious battles amid the ruins of what once was a bustling city on the Sea of Azov coast.
The Ukrainians' fight against all odds has scuttled Moscow's designs, tying up significant Russian forces and delaying the start of a planned Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine's industrial heartland, Donbas. The Kremlin hopes that an attack in the east could reverse the battlefield fortunes for Russia after a humiliating failure of its attempt to quickly storm the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
Mariupol has been a key objective for Russia since the start of its invasion on Feb. 24. Capturing the city would allow Moscow to establish a land corridor to Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014 and deprive Ukraine of a major port and prized industrial assets.
The giant Azovstal steel mill and other industrial plants have been heavily damaged by the ferocious Russian bombardment that has flattened much of Mariupol, indiscriminately hitting homes, hospitals and other public buildings and killing thousands.
The victims include about 300 people killed in last month's Russian airstrike on the Mariupol Drama Theater that was being used as a shelter and had the word “CHILDREN” printed in Russian in huge white letters on the pavement outside to ward off aerial attack.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko told The Associated Press that at least 21,000 people were killed in Mariupol with bodies “carpeted through the streets.” He said that the Russians deployed mobile cremation equipment to Mariupol to methodically dispose of the victims' bodies in order to hide the evidence of the massacre and prevent international organizations from documenting "the horror the Russian army is responsible for.”
The discovery of hundreds of bodies of civilians apparently executed by Russian forces in Kyiv's suburbs after the Russian retreat from the area has fueled global outrage and accusations from Ukrainians and the West that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine.
Moscow has deployed fighters from Chechnya, known for their ferocity, to wage street battles in Mariupol. Chechnya’s Moscow-backed leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has repeatedly boasted on his messaging app channel about defeating Ukrainians in Mariupol, but the fight has continued.
Boychenko said that several Ukrainian units are still fighting the Russians in Mariupol, including the 36th Marine Brigade, the Azov Regiment, some Interior Ministry troops and border guards.
The Azov Regiment, a seasoned volunteer force that is widely considered one of the country’s most capable units, is defending the mammoth Azovstal steel plant that covers an area of nearly 11 square kilometers (over 4.2 square miles). It has taken advantage of the plant's sprawling network of concrete buildings and underground facilities to repel continuous Russian attacks.
The 36th Marine Brigade was maintaining defensive positions at the Azovmash and Zavod Ilyicha factories until it ran out of supplies and ammunition and made a desperate attempt to break through the Russian blockade earlier this week.
In a post on the brigade's Facebook page, one of its officers described the unit's heroic resistance, saying that “for more than a month, the marines have been fighting without replenishing amunition, food and water supplies.” “The wounded accounted for nearly a half of the brigade's strength, but those who still had their limbs and were capable of walking reported back to duty," the post said.
Boychenko said that some of the marines managed to join the Azov regiment, while others were captured by the Russians. He didn't give any numbers.
The Russian military said Thursday that a total of 1,160 Ukrainian marines surrendered this week, a claim that couldn't be independently verified.
As the Ukrainian troops continue to offer fierce resistance in Mariupol, fears have grown that the exasperated Russians could resort to chemical weapons to deal with the remaining pockets of resistance at the Azovstal plant and other areas of the city.
Eduard Basurin, a Russia-allied separatist official in eastern Ukraine, appeared to call for that Monday, telling Russian state TV that the Russia-backed forces should block all the exits out of the factory and then "use chemical troops to smoke them out of there.” He later said that no chemical weapons were used.
The Azov Regiment claimed Monday, without providing evidence, that a drone had dropped a poisonous substance on its positions but inflicted no serious injuries. A Ukrainian defense official said the attack possibly involved phosphorus munitions.
Boychenko said that an estimated 120,000 of Mariupol's pre-war population of about 450,000 remain in the city.
Ukrainian authorities have said that the Russians have blocked humanitarian convoys from reaching Mariupol, keeping it without food, water and power since the siege started. The Russian troops have turned back buses sent to evacuate residents, but about 150,000 have been able to flee the city in their own vehicles.
Boychenko said that at least 33,500, and, possibly, up to 50,000 Mariupol residents have been taken to “filtration camps” in the separatist-controlled east before being forcibly sent to distant, economically depressed areas in Russia.
Mariupol has seen communications cut since the start of the siege, and as the Russians moved to capture sections of the city they launched radio broadcasts to brainwash the population.
“They unleashed propaganda, telling people that Kyiv and other cities have been captured and they have been abandoned,” Boychenko said.
The continuing fighting in Mariupol has forced the Russian military to keep a significant number of troops in the city, delaying the start of the planned new offensive in eastern Ukraine.
“As long as the street fighting is going on, Russia can't remove troops from Mariupol and deploy them to other areas, including Donbas,” Oleh Zhdanov, an independent military expert, told the AP.
“The Ukrainian troops in Mariupol are still fulfilling their main task by diverting the Russian forces from other areas. Mariupol remains a major symbol of the Ukrainian resistance."

Police Launch Operation Seabird
Subscribe newsletter
North Wales Police, the RSPCA, Natural Resources Wales, the North Wales Wildlife Trust and other Welsh police forces have entered the second day of Operation Seabird, a national campaign which aims to engage and educate people about the sensitivities of the coastline, and how simple changes in behaviour could reduce pressure on our unique wildlife.
Locals and visitors to north Wales know how beautiful the coastline is, especially during the spring and summer months. Because of this, north Wales attracts hundreds of tourists every year, many of whom may not be aware of the impact they can have on coastal wildlife in the area. The high tourist attraction to the area also increases recreational activities such as boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and more, which has the potential to disturb wildlife if not conducted in a safe and responsible manner.
Sergeant Liam Jones of the North Wales Police Rural Crime Team said: “Op Seabird Cymru seeks to engage key partners to work with the police throughout Wales to educate those people who use our coastal areas and seas and to enable them to enjoy our wildlife safely and without disturbance. Over the years we have seen an increase in people using our coastal areas and being unaware of the effect that they can have on coastal birds and mammals if they act irresponsibly. A disturbance can have a devastating effect on certain species and their habitats and with simple education and engagement we can help prevent it from happening.”
Operation Seabird focuses on activities carried out within the marine and coastal environment, which have the potential to cause disturbance to sensitive wildlife and habitats. Activities that take place both on land and in the water have the potential to cause disturbance to marine wildlife.
Vessel collisions often result in physical trauma or death of marine wildlife. Marine mammals can often be hard to spot in the water; motorised vessels travelling at speed risk disturbance and injury to whales, dolphins and seals through collision. Similarly, some seabirds are at risk of collision from fast-moving watercraft, particularly auk species. Later in the breeding season, many juvenile seabirds can be found in small groups around the cliffs and out into the North Sea. These birds cannot fly and so cannot move out of the path of fast-moving vessels, increasing the risk of collision between these birds and watercraft. Collisions are most common where activities involve motorised watercraft that can travel at speed.
Excess noise can disturb wildlife causing detectable changes in behaviour. It can also interfere with an animal’s ability to communicate, navigate, avoid danger, and find food, ultimately impacting the health and survival of many marine species. For marine mammals sound is their primary means of communication and noise from motorised vessels has the potential to disrupt their normal behaviours and negatively impact their health and wellbeing.
Seabirds nesting on cliffs are often startled by noise causing changes in behaviour such as fleeing their nests and leaving chicks and eggs vulnerable to predation and adverse conditions. This is especially problematic for auk species (guillemots and razorbills) as they do not build nests and lay their eggs directly onto ledges along the cliff; if an auk is startled, there is a significant risk of their egg falling from the cliff. Equally, a significant disturbance event can cause juvenile birds to leave the nest before they are ready to fledge, significantly reducing their chances of survival. Noise disturbance is most common in motorised watercraft-based activities however it can be caused by any loud noise near marine wildlife.
There is evidence that marine animals negatively change their behaviour in the presence of human activity. Any activity has the potential to cause visual disturbance and can cause distress, reduced resting time and avoidance or aggression behaviours in wildlife. The effects of visual disturbance on seabirds can be similar to that of noise disturbance; unfamiliar sights can cause nesting seabirds to be startled, forcing them to leave their nests leaving chicks and eggs vulnerable to predation and adverse conditions.
Visual disturbance can also cause problems for animals who venture onto land. Seals ‘haul-out’ onto land between foraging trips to rest and nurse their young. Recreational activity close to a group of seals on land can startle them, causing them to return to the water. Disturbing seals that are ‘hauled out’ risks interrupting nursing and mating as well as risking separating young from their mothers. Visual disturbance has the potential to be caused by any activity taking place around marine wildlife, even those activities that are not usually thought of as causing disturbance such as paddle boarding and kayaking.
As well as educating and raising awareness through social media channels and local media, North Wales Police will be working with partner agencies such as the RSPCA, Natural Resources Wales and North Wales Wildlife Trust to hold “action days” throughout the summer months. These action days will see uniformed officers at launch sites and around the north Wales coast. They will visit businesses, educate and engage with the public to raise awareness of the problems some recreational activities can cause to our coastline wildlife.
“If you’re out and about along the coast, we’re asking you to remember that any activity has the potential to cause disturbance to wildlife, if not conducted in a responsible and safe manner,” a police spokesperson said.
To reduce disturbance to sensitive wildlife whilst on the water, we advise the following:
• Keep your distance: Keep a safe distance (at least 100m) from the cliffs, rafting seabirds and marine mammals, allowing space for animals to move away from you.
• No-wake speed: Motorised vessels and personal watercraft should travel at a no-wake speed within 300m of the cliffs or shore.
• Avoid enclosed spaces: All motorised and non-motorised vessels should avoid entering caves and travelling through archways where breeding seabirds or resting seals are present.
• Be aware: If an animal’s behaviour changes in response to your presence, move away quickly and quietly.
“If you do see someone causing a significant disturbance to wildlife along the coastline, we are encouraging you to engage with any police or environment agencies at the locations, or report it to us via 101 or through our online webchat facility,” the spokesperson added.
You can keep up to date with all the work we, and other partner agencies are doing by following #OperationSeabirdCymru on social media.
If you’d like to help shape how that may look and secure some free credits if we do go live then please register here.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — As a casino dealer, Shamikah Townsend knows when the odds are in her favor.
And they definitely are right now.
While working at one Atlantic City casino last year, she went to a job fair held by a different one, and was surprised at how instantly in-demand she was when the recruiter wanted to hire her as a craps dealer.
“She said, ‘I’ll pay you to move to Florida in two weeks,'” Townsend said. “I didn’t know craps, so I had to be honest and tell her, but I went out and I learned it.”
On Monday, Townsend made her move, getting hired on the spot at a job fair held by the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.
Townsend is part of a great hiring wave taking place at casinos across the nation as the gambling halls compete to add staff while recovering from the coronavirus pandemic that drove customers away and led to staff reductions.
But casinos are just one of many industries struggling to add new workers, and they find themselves competing with each other not only for casino workers, but for people with experience in the hotel, restaurant and tourism industries, to name just a few.
“Gaming is facing the same labor issues that we see across the broader economy,” said Casey Clark, senior vice president of the American Gaming Association, the casino industry’s national trade group. “In our recent CEO survey, the labor shortage is a top concern across the country.
“Competition for talent is a huge impediment for growth, and we’re also experiencing an expansion of gaming with customer demand increasing,” he said. “Those things are problematic when they happen together.”
That has led to some innovative tactics, including the use of virtual reality goggles at some MGM Resorts International job fairs to let applicants experience what the job will be like before signing on the dotted line.
Atlantic City’s casinos are also talking with state government agencies about funding new transit options to get people to jobs at casinos from farther-out places. One possibility: something like the contract the Borgata had with a state transit agency in 2008 for a daily shuttle bus between its Atlantic City casino and Camden — an hour-long trip reaching clear across the state.
In Clark County, Nevada, home to Las Vegas, an economic development official said last month more than 40,000 jobs have gone unfilled since the state’s casinos reopened after a temporary closure in 2020. During one job fair in February, Caesars Entertainment was looking to hire 500 people.
Nationwide, there were about 1.65 million workers employed in the gambling, amusement and recreation sectors of the U.S. economy in March, representing about 91% of the pre-pandemic workforce, Clark said. The AGA said it does not have a figure for casino employment alone.
Joe Lupo, president of Atlantic City’s Hard Rock casino, is also president of the Casino Association of New Jersey. He estimates there are 2,000 full and part-time casino jobs open in Atlantic City right now, where the overall workforce of 22,000 is down from 49,000 in 2003.
“Coming out of COVID, especially last year, after the restrictions were lifted, the workforce supply just has not been available,” he said. “It’s been difficult for all of us to find enough people. I certainly know after meeting with everyone last week that every property is hiring.”
That has very practical effects in casino resorts, which might not be able to open all their hotel rooms, or open all the craps or roulette tables they have. Restaurants that used to serve 700 tables a night may only be able to do 300, executives said.
As they are in other industries, workers are reaping the benefits of switching jobs, or taking a new one after being unemployed for a time. Casinos are increasing wages and benefits, and are offering to train workers without the type of experience that was once required just to get a foot in the door for an interview.
“Everybody’s looking to hire the same person,” said Bill Callahan, general manager of the Ocean casino in Atlantic City. “We always need people.”
In some departments, “people that made $14 an hour a year ago might now be making $16 or $17,” Callahan said.
Ocean is starting an in-house training program to teach people how to become dealers, something most applicants had to learn on their own before, Callahan added.
The Morongo casino in Cabazon, California, has been regularly holding job fairs since December, and has at least four more scheduled for this month.
In North Carolina, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians said last month it needed nearly 900 additional workers for its two casinos in the state. Tribal leaders are considering recruiting workers from other countries and housing them in dormitories.
And in West Virginia, racetrack casinos told state regulators last month that a shortage of workers is preventing them from operating at full strength for a third year in a row.
Townsend, the newly hired dealer in Atlantic City, says circumstances are coming together nicely for her.
“I wanted to move up and improve my situation,” she said. “These places have to compete with everybody else for workers now, and there’s money to be had.”

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Unbroken by a Russian blockade and relentless bombardment, the key port of Mariupol is still holding out, a symbol of staunch Ukrainian resistance that has thwarted the Kremlin's invasion plans.
More than six weeks after the Russian siege began, Ukrainian troops are continuing to fight the vastly superior Russian forces in ferocious battles amid the ruins of what once was a bustling city on the Sea of Azov coast.
The Ukrainians' fight against all odds has scuttled Moscow's designs, tying up significant Russian forces and delaying the start of a planned Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine's industrial heartland, Donbas. The Kremlin hopes that an attack in the east could reverse the battlefield fortunes for Russia after a humiliating failure of its attempt to quickly storm the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
Mariupol has been a key objective for Russia since the start of its invasion on Feb. 24. Capturing the city would allow Moscow to establish a land corridor to Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014 and deprive Ukraine of a major port and prized industrial assets.
The giant Azovstal steel mill and other industrial plants have been heavily damaged by the ferocious Russian bombardment that has flattened much of Mariupol, indiscriminately hitting homes, hospitals and other public buildings and killing thousands.
The victims include about 300 people killed in last month's Russian airstrike on the Mariupol Drama Theater that was being used as a shelter and had the word “CHILDREN” printed in Russian in huge white letters on the pavement outside to ward off aerial attack.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko told The Associated Press that at least 21,000 people were killed in Mariupol with bodies “carpeted through the streets.” He said that the Russians deployed mobile cremation equipment to Mariupol to methodically dispose of the victims' bodies in order to hide the evidence of the massacre and prevent international organizations from documenting "the horror the Russian army is responsible for.”
The discovery of hundreds of bodies of civilians apparently executed by Russian forces in Kyiv's suburbs after the Russian retreat from the area has fueled global outrage and accusations from Ukrainians and the West that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine.
Moscow has deployed fighters from Chechnya, known for their ferocity, to wage street battles in Mariupol. Chechnya’s Moscow-backed leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has repeatedly boasted on his messaging app channel about defeating Ukrainians in Mariupol, but the fight has continued.
Boychenko said that several Ukrainian units are still fighting the Russians in Mariupol, including the 36th Marine Brigade, the Azov Regiment, some Interior Ministry troops and border guards.
The Azov Regiment, a seasoned volunteer force that is widely considered one of the country’s most capable units, is defending the mammoth Azovstal steel plant that covers an area of nearly 11 square kilometers (over 4.2 square miles). It has taken advantage of the plant's sprawling network of concrete buildings and underground facilities to repel continuous Russian attacks.
The 36th Marine Brigade was maintaining defensive positions at the Azovmash and Zavod Ilyicha factories until it ran out of supplies and ammunition and made a desperate attempt to break through the Russian blockade earlier this week.
In a post on the brigade's Facebook page, one of its officers described the unit's heroic resistance, saying that “for more than a month, the marines have been fighting without replenishing amunition, food and water supplies.” “The wounded accounted for nearly a half of the brigade's strength, but those who still had their limbs and were capable of walking reported back to duty," the post said.
Boychenko said that some of the marines managed to join the Azov regiment, while others were captured by the Russians. He didn't give any numbers.
The Russian military said Thursday that a total of 1,160 Ukrainian marines surrendered this week, a claim that couldn't be independently verified.
As the Ukrainian troops continue to offer fierce resistance in Mariupol, fears have grown that the exasperated Russians could resort to chemical weapons to deal with the remaining pockets of resistance at the Azovstal plant and other areas of the city.
Eduard Basurin, a Russia-allied separatist official in eastern Ukraine, appeared to call for that Monday, telling Russian state TV that the Russia-backed forces should block all the exits out of the factory and then "use chemical troops to smoke them out of there.” He later said that no chemical weapons were used.
The Azov Regiment claimed Monday, without providing evidence, that a drone had dropped a poisonous substance on its positions but inflicted no serious injuries. A Ukrainian defense official said the attack possibly involved phosphorus munitions.
Boychenko said that an estimated 120,000 of Mariupol's pre-war population of about 450,000 remain in the city.
Ukrainian authorities have said that the Russians have blocked humanitarian convoys from reaching Mariupol, keeping it without food, water and power since the siege started. The Russian troops have turned back buses sent to evacuate residents, but about 150,000 have been able to flee the city in their own vehicles.
Boychenko said that at least 33,500, and, possibly, up to 50,000 Mariupol residents have been taken to “filtration camps” in the separatist-controlled east before being forcibly sent to distant, economically depressed areas in Russia.
Mariupol has seen communications cut since the start of the siege, and as the Russians moved to capture sections of the city they launched radio broadcasts to brainwash the population.
“They unleashed propaganda, telling people that Kyiv and other cities have been captured and they have been abandoned,” Boychenko said.
The continuing fighting in Mariupol has forced the Russian military to keep a significant number of troops in the city, delaying the start of the planned new offensive in eastern Ukraine.
“As long as the street fighting is going on, Russia can't remove troops from Mariupol and deploy them to other areas, including Donbas,” Oleh Zhdanov, an independent military expert, told the AP.
“The Ukrainian troops in Mariupol are still fulfilling their main task by diverting the Russian forces from other areas. Mariupol remains a major symbol of the Ukrainian resistance."

KYIV, Ukraine — Unbroken by a Russian blockade and relentless bombardment, the key port of Mariupol is still holding out, a symbol of staunch Ukrainian resistance that has thwarted the Kremlin's invasion plans.
More than six weeks after the Russian siege began, Ukrainian troops are continuing to fight the vastly superior Russian forces in ferocious battles amid the ruins of what once was a bustling city on the Sea of Azov coast.
The Ukrainians' fight against all odds has scuttled Moscow's designs, tying up significant Russian forces and delaying the start of a planned Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine's industrial heartland, Donbas. The Kremlin hopes that an attack in the east could reverse the battlefield fortunes for Russia after a humiliating failure of its attempt to quickly storm the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
Mariupol has been a key objective for Russia since the start of its invasion on Feb. 24. Capturing the city would allow Moscow to establish a land corridor to Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014 and deprive Ukraine of a major port and prized industrial assets.
The giant Azovstal steel mill and other industrial plants have been heavily damaged by the ferocious Russian bombardment that has flattened much of Mariupol, indiscriminately hitting homes, hospitals and other public buildings and killing thousands.
The victims include about 300 people killed in last month's Russian airstrike on the Mariupol Drama Theater that was being used as a shelter and had the word “CHILDREN” printed in Russian in huge white letters on the pavement outside to ward off aerial attack.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko told The Associated Press that at least 21,000 people were killed in Mariupol with bodies “carpeted through the streets.” He said that the Russians deployed mobile cremation equipment to Mariupol to methodically dispose of the victims' bodies in order to hide the evidence of the massacre and prevent international organizations from documenting "the horror the Russian army is responsible for.”
The discovery of hundreds of bodies of civilians apparently executed by Russian forces in Kyiv's suburbs after the Russian retreat from the area has fueled global outrage and accusations from Ukrainians and the West that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine.
Moscow has deployed fighters from Chechnya, known for their ferocity, to wage street battles in Mariupol. Chechnya’s Moscow-backed leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has repeatedly boasted on his messaging app channel about defeating Ukrainians in Mariupol, but the fight has continued.
Boychenko said that several Ukrainian units are still fighting the Russians in Mariupol, including the 36th Marine Brigade, the Azov Regiment, some Interior Ministry troops and border guards.
The Azov Regiment, a seasoned volunteer force that is widely considered one of the country’s most capable units, is defending the mammoth Azovstal steel plant that covers an area of nearly 11 square kilometers (over 4.2 square miles). It has taken advantage of the plant's sprawling network of concrete buildings and underground facilities to repel continuous Russian attacks.
The 36th Marine Brigade was maintaining defensive positions at the Azovmash and Zavod Ilyicha factories until it ran out of supplies and ammunition and made a desperate attempt to break through the Russian blockade earlier this week.
In a post on the brigade's Facebook page, one of its officers described the unit's heroic resistance, saying that “for more than a month, the marines have been fighting without replenishing amunition, food and water supplies.” “The wounded accounted for nearly a half of the brigade's strength, but those who still had their limbs and were capable of walking reported back to duty," the post said.
Boychenko said that some of the marines managed to join the Azov regiment, while others were captured by the Russians. He didn't give any numbers.

NAYTAHWAUSH, Minn. (AP) — Authorities have released dashcam video showing a sheriff’s deputy in northwestern Minnesota shooting and wounding a woman.
Minnesota Public Radio reported Thursday that Mahnomen County. Sheriff Josh Guenther said he released the video of the March 13 incident near Naytahwaush in response to social media posts accusing Deputy Dakota Czerny of attempted murder.
The incident began when Czerny tried to make a traffic stop and the vehicle fled. A pursuit ensued and Czerny forced the vehicle off the road.
The video shows Czerny handcuffing someone outside the vehicle. Another person standing next to the vehicle, later identified as 20-year-old Shequoya Basswood, appears to point a handgun at the deputy. He tells her to drop the gun and then shoots her. Basswood was hit several times but survived.
Basswood told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that she was trying to remove the gun from her shirt when Czerny shot her.
State investigators are reviewing the incident.

LONDON (AP) — The British government said Friday that it plans to start putting asylum-seekers on one-way flights to Rwanda within weeks, as it defended a deal that has outraged refugee groups and humanitarian organizations.
Britain and Rwanda announced Thursday that they had struck an agreement that will see some people arriving in the U.K. as stowaways on trucks or in small boats sent 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) to the East African country, where their asylum claims will be processed and, if successful, they will stay.
The British government says the plan will discourage people from making dangerous attempts to cross the English Channel, and put people-smuggling gangs out of business.
But critics of the Conservative government said legal and political hurdles mean the flights may never happen. They accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of using the headline-grabbing policy to distract attention from his political troubles. Johnson is resisting calls to resign after being fined by police this week for attending a party in his office in 2020 that broke coronavirus lockdown rules.
Conservative lawmaker Andrew Griffith, a senior Johnson adviser, said the flights to Rwanda could start “in weeks or a small number of months.”
Migration Minister Tom Pursglove said the drastic plan was needed to deter people trying to reach Britain in dinghies and other boats from northern France. More than 28,000 migrants entered the U.K. across the Channel last year, up from 8,500 in 2020. Dozens have died, including 27 people in November when a single boat capsized.
“Nobody should be coming in a small boat to come to the United Kingdom,” Pursglove told Sky News. “We quite rightly have a rich and proud history in this country of providing sanctuary for thousands of people over the years. …. But what we can’t have, and we can’t accept, is people putting their lives in the hands of these evil criminal gangs, and that’s why we think it is important that we take these steps.”
The deal — for which the U.K. has paid Rwanda 120 million pounds ($158 million) upfront — leaves many questions unanswered, including its final cost and how participants will be chosen. The U.K. says children, and families with children, will not be sent to Rwanda.
Refugee and human rights groups called the plan inhumane, unworkable and a waste of taxpayers’ money. The United Nations’ Refugee Agency urged Britain and Rwanda to reconsider.
“Such arrangements simply shift asylum responsibilities, evade international obligations, and are contrary to the letter and spirit of the Refugee Convention,” said the agency’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Gillian Triggs. “People fleeing war, conflict and persecution deserve compassion and empathy. They should not be traded like commodities and transferred abroad for processing.”
Previous schemes to ”offshore” asylum-seekers have been highly controversial.
In 2013, Australia began sending asylum-seekers attempting to reach the country by boat to Papua New Guinea and the tiny atoll of Nauru, vowing that none would be allowed to settle in Australia. The policy all but ended the people-smuggling ocean route from Southeast Asia, but was widely criticized as a cruel abrogation of Australia’s international obligations.
Critics of the U.K.-Rwanda plan say it is certain to face legal challenges. The prime minister acknowledged Thursday it would likely be challenged in court by what he called “politically motivated lawyers” out to ”frustrate the government.”
The Law Society of England and Wales, which represents solicitors, chastised the government for offering “misleading suggestions that legal challenges are politically motivated.”
“Legal challenges establish if the government is abiding by its own laws,” said society President I. Stephanie Boyce. “If the government wishes to avoid losing court cases, it should act within the law of the land.”

Why Buy I Bonds Now?
By Jeremy Keil, CFP
When the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the March 2022 CPI inflation rate on April 12th, they did more than clue you in to how high inflation has been over the last year. They also showed keen observers what the May 2022 inflation rate will be on U.S. Series I Savings Bonds (I Bonds).
With the current 6-month rate of 7.12% still standing on April purchases, and the 6-month renewal rate listed at 9.62% you know that buying I bonds in April 2022 will get you 8.54% over the next 12 months.
But act fast because you only know what the next 12 months will bring you for I bonds if you purchase them by April 28th.
Why? Because even though the current purchase rate is for April, when you buy a savings bond today on Treasury Direct it is effective for the next business day. With April 30th on a weekend, Thursday, April 28th, is the last day you can buy an I bond and know the rate you’ll get over the next 12 months.
Knowing that 12-month rate only happens for about 2 weeks, twice per year, and is highly important since I bonds carry a minimum 12-month commitment.
How do I Bonds Work?
I bonds have an annual interest rate made up of two components:
- A fixed interest rate (currently 0%) that lasts for the entire 30-year length of the bond.
- An ‘inflation rate’ that is announced and updated semiannually.
If your fixed rate is 0%, and the inflation rate is 2%, then you would earn 2% interest at your semiannual renewal rate.
Interest, if any, is added to the bond monthly and is paid when you cash the bond.
When you buy an I bond you’ll get your initial rate for 6 months. After six months you’ll get a new six-month rate, and your money will grow by that new rate.
Your April 2022 I bond purchase will turn your $100 into $103.56 just 6 months later. This is a 7.12% annualized rate.
At the 6 months mark, you’ll start getting 9.62%, and your $103.56 from above will turn into $108.54.
That’s an 8.54% annual rate! Compared to the average 12-month CD at 0.14% and 1-year Treasury rates of about 1.7% the I bond offers a compelling rate.
What’s the Catch?
- You have to hold them for 12 months minimum. You can’t cash out before then.
- If you cash out between the end of year one and the end of year five, you lose your prior three months interest as a penalty.
- You can only buy $10,000 per person (or entity), per year, and you have to do it at TreasuryDirect.gov
Now many people are incredibly turned off by the concept of a penalty, but let’s walk through what would happen if you cashed out immediately at the 12-month mark.
You would lose the prior 3 months of interest (which would be based on the most recent interest rate).
Buying in April 2022 would mean your $100 turns into $108.54 in April 2023. Subtracting the 3-month interest penalty turns into $106.05. That’s still a 6% annual interest rate!
Another idea is to hold the I bond for 15 months instead of 12. Chances are you’d only cash out the bonds if you don’t like the renewal rate 12 months from now, which means it is lower than the rate you were getting. Since you lose the ‘prior’ 3 months interest, wait until month 15 and lose the 3 months of interest from the rate you don’t like!
Buying in April 2022 turns your $100 into $108.54 in 12 months. Losing that next 3 months of interest as a penalty means you still have the same $108.54 should you cash out at 15 months. Your annualized rate over the 15 months would be 6.78%! Imagine today a 15-month CD (certificate of deposit) at 6.78%!
Other people might think that $10,000 per year is too low of a cap and it's not worth their effort to purchase the I bonds. That’s a personal decision but think of ways you can increase your purchases.
If there are two of you in the family, you could each go up to the $10,000 cap. If you have a revocable living trust, or perhaps an LLC, then each of those entities could go up to the $10,000 cap.
Imagine a couple with a rental property inside an LLC, and a revocable living trust. They could go up to $40,000 each year between those four accounts!
When you’re looking at bank rates that are too low and considering ways to increase your yield, make sure to explore your options in the interest rate world before you start increasing your risk through the bond and stock market.
When considering the rules and returns on I bonds over the next 12 months, chasing this yield seems like a good deal.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sunshine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Edna Irene Fiske, age 86, of Athens, PA passed away peacefully on April 13, 2022, and was welcomed into Heaven.
Edna was born to her parents Ruth Wood Soper and George (Pat) Riley. She is survived by her children; Sherry (Pat) Murphy, Bobby (Debbie) Fiske, Sandy (Tim) Fiske, Penny (Bill) Singer, and Judy (Gene) Rockwell, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, sisters, nieces, nephews, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Bob Fiske, her son Steve (Kathy) Fiske, parents, brothers, and sisters. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God rest in peace.
Edna was a beautiful Irish woman who embraced her heritage throughout her entire life. She met the love of her life Bob and enjoyed her years raising a house full of kids. Many summers were spent camping at Lake Bonin and Hornbrook Park enjoying the outdoors. She cherished her time wintering in Florida, especially the Daytona Beach area and spending time by the ocean. Her favorite past times were going fishing with her husband Bob, enjoying Tioga Downs, and going to Irish events in her later years. She would always be found attending her grandkids sporting events and showing her support.
Mom will truly be missed by her entire family. Her family takes comfort in knowing that she is dancing in fields of Shamrocks singing “Oh, Danny Boy.” Consider the Shamrock as Mom would see it. It represents the Holy Trinity Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the Heavenly realms that be. We are taught that if we follow God and strive to do His will, one day we will go to our reward in His shining city on a hill. Take heart our dearly departed, now know the face of God, and the Lord’s presence radiates all around and encompasses her with love. So, each time you see a Shamrock, remember your loved one that passed. Strive to be worthy of Heaven, where you will be reunited at last.
May she rest in peace and fly high with an Irish Angel.
A memorial service will be held at Lowery-Urban Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 225 South Main Street, Athens, PA on Thursday, April 21, 2022, at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Linda Rogers officiating.
Burial will be at Tioga Point Cemetery, Athens, PA, following the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to one’s favorite charity in her honor. A special thank you to the Athens Health and Rehabilitation Center staff.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Recreational marijuana sales in New Jersey for those 21 and older will begin April 21, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy said Thursday.
“This is a historic step in our work to create a new cannabis industry,” said Murphy, who made the announcement via Twitter.
The news comes just three days after state regulators greenlighted permits for seven facilities, which already sell medical cannabis, to begin retailing recreational marijuana. It’s also about a year after the state’s regulatory commission started operating, and a year and a half after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question to allow recreational marijuana for people 21 and older.
New Jersey and 17 others states, along with the District of Columbia, have legalized recreational marijuana. Thirty-seven states, including New Jersey, have legalized medical marijuana.
New Jersey’s recreational sales are slated to begin ahead of New York, where sales are not expected to start until the end of the year, state officials have said.
Neighboring Pennsylvania has medical cannabis but not recreational. Some cities, including Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, have passed ordinances to decriminalize marijuana or make it a low law enforcement priority. Legislation to permit recreational marijuana in Delaware was defeated last month in the Legislature.
Three of the seven New Jersey facilities, known as alternative treatment centers, are in the northern part of the state. Three are in the south, and one is in its central.
To get approval, the centers agreed that the coming influx of recreational buyers won’t interrupt access for patients. The facilities said they would reserve parking spaces for patients as well as keep hours specifically for patients only.
There are about 130,000 medical marijuana patients in the state, with an estimated roughly 800,000 potential recreational consumers, and fewer than 800,000 estimated “tourism” consumers, according to the commission.
Ben Kovler, the CEO of Green Thumb Industries, which operates dispensaries in several states, is preparing for the start of recreational sales at facilities in Paterson and Bloomfield. Kovler said he expects a “tidal wave” of demand.
“We are witnessing the end of prohibition 2.0,” he said in an emailed statement.
The alternative treatment centers that already had medical cannabis retail sales are getting a head start in the recreational market, but regulators have attached strings to their advantage. The centers have to meet social equity standards, such as providing technical knowledge to new marijuana businesses, especially social equity applicants — those located in economically struggling parts of the state or people who have had cannabis-related offenses.
“We remain committed to social equity,” Cannabis Regulatory Commission Chair Dianna Houenou said in a statement. “We promised to build this market on the pillars of social equity and safety. Ultimately, we hope to see businesses and a workforce that reflect the diversity of the state.”
How much tax revenue New Jersey gets from recreational marijuana isn’t clear. Murphy’s fiscal year 2023 budget, which is pending before the Democrat-led Legislature, estimates revenues of just $19 million in a nearly $49 billion budget. In 2019, as legalization of recreational marijuana was still just pending before voters, he had estimated about $60 million in revenue.
Legislation governing the recreational market calls for the 6.625% sales tax to apply, with 70% of the proceeds going to areas disproportionately affected by marijuana-related arrests. Black residents were likelier — up to three times as much — to face marijuana charges than white residents. Towns can also levy a tax of up to 2%.

As CMO for PandaDoc, Nate oversees marketing efforts using his 20+ years of experience in marketing and business development.
Sales and marketing alignment is vital for accelerating company growth. When these teams work well together, metrics soar. In fact, according to MarketingProfs, companies with aligned sales and marketing teams experience 38% higher sales win rates as well as 36% higher customer retention rates. Conversely, it’s estimated that misalignment can cost organizations 10% or more in annual revenue and can lead to tension and disorganization that can breed a toxic work environment.
While there are many paths and strategies to align these teams, the most crucial step is goal-setting. Goal-setting is the block and tackle of data-driven marketing. It’s the foundation for determining what tactics are used, what experiments to run and whether your tactics are effective. Most importantly, goal-setting helps keep both teams focused on the bigger picture so that no matter what happens within each team individually, they have common ground on which they can recenter their strategies.
The following are steps to take to ensure your marketing and sales goals are set up for success.
Set your North Star goal.
The first step in aligning your teams is setting a North Star goal. This can be the same as your company’s North Star as long as it includes a trackable metric. So think of something like a revenue goal or a customer acquisition goal. It’s important that is the critical goal and to set it jointly to ensure your teams stay hyper-focused on the bigger picture. Once you set a shared North Star goal, you can align on drivers of that goal.
Determine what drivers impact your goal.
Next, determine what goes into, or drives, meeting that goal. Sometimes it helps to build a funnel or steps towards your goal, essentially creating different measurable goals for each step.
For example, if your North Star goal is a revenue goal, you’ll want to calculate how many customers you will need in a given period of time and how much revenue each customer will need to generate in order to reach the goal. From there, you can look up-funnel and determine that, for every 10 customers that sign up, sales will need to talk to 100 people. In order for sales to talk to 100 people, marketing needs to reach 500 people.
Now you have the overarching goal—the revenue goal—broken down into smaller actionable goals for each department to dive into: number of customers, number of prospects and audience size. Staging your funnel this way helps keep sales and marketing accountable and focused on what they need to achieve to reach the North Star together.
Use the funnel to forecast.
Since you’ve set up measurable goals for each stage, you can now forecast each stage. A forecast is a projection of whether you will reach your goal in the timeline that you have set.
If your goal is to sign up five new customers, then marketing will need to be on track to reach 50 communications with customers this week, with 10 of those expected to turn into prospects. Then, based on historical performance data, if sales close one in four prospects on average, you can forecast two customers from this week’s marketing efforts.
Forecasting provides transparency between teams and visibility into how achievable your goals are. Forecasting each stage helps to identify which steps in the funnel aren’t working and provides the data needed to assess which adjustments need to be made in tactics or goal-setting.
Experiment and learn together for constant improvement.
The most important part of aligning sales and marketing is to constantly learn from what is and isn’t working and adjust your strategies accordingly. With your eye on your goals, you can experiment to see what helps get you what you need. You can experiment in each stage of the funnel.
For example, at the top of your funnel, where you’re trying to generate customer awareness, experiments can include emailing campaigns, programmatic spend, which partners are effective, etc. Your sales experiments can include changes in positioning or adjustments in pricing and packaging.
Use experiments to find what works, and don’t be afraid of a failed experiment. Both positive and negative learning should be celebrated as long as you’re learning together so that you are constantly improving.
When sales and marketing teams work together and toward shared goals, a company can expect to increase sales, improve productivity and generate more revenue. It’s critical for these teams to be aligned, and the foundation for solid collaboration between teams starts with proper goal-setting.

You will not find Indigenous Woman at your local Barnes & Noble. You cannot subscribe on Amazon. Although it’s just as glamorous as Vogue and Bazaar, the best way to peruse this glossy fashion magazine is by visiting the Princeton University Art Museum.
Indigenous Woman is edited by Martine Gutierrez, a trans artist of Mayan descent. Gutierrez is also the art director, the photographer, the stylist, and the model. She founded the magazine in 2018 and has produced a single 128-page issue. With that publication, she not only fulfilled her personal desire to become a cover girl, but also cross-examined the fashion industry’s values.
Gutierrez is not the first person to spoof the genre, nor the first to critique the industry for lack of inclusivity. What makes Indigenous Woman compelling – beyond the artist’s virtuoso performance in every role on the masthead – is the layer of self-examination: Against a backdrop of identity politics, in which people are expected to define the necessary and sufficient conditions of their being as strictly as a logical proposition, and to declare their personal allegiances for all eternity, Gutierrez responds with a montage of possibility. Inspired in part by her change in gender, her shape shifting constitutes a refusal to conform even to conventional standards of otherness.
Otherness, and control over the ways in which marginalized peoples are defined, are central issues in the Princeton University Art Museum exhibition. Featuring the work of nine contemporary North American artists of indigenous descent, all of whom use photography in their practice, the exhibit expands upon a special issue of Aperture guest-edited by the Apsáalooke (Crow) photographer Wendy Red Star. Consistent with Gutierrez’s perspective – and with Red Star’s own art – most of the participants look askance at identity as a construct.
In some cases, the resistance is subtle. The Yup’ik artist Jacqueline Cleveland documents the complex meaning of foraging in a series of photographs documenting life in the Yup’ik tribal region of western Alaska. Several of the photographs show traditional harvesting practices and foods, but Cleveland is equally attentive to the packaged goods that supplement the Yup’ik diet, such as Cup Noodles and Tang, which must be foraged in other ways. Contradicting the identity imposed upon Alaska Natives as hunter-gatherers living outside the confines of civilization – a modern-day permutation on the myth of the noble savage – Cleveland shows material evidence of survivance: a pragmatic approach to preservation of traditions by peoples whose lands and lifeways have been decimated by colonization.
Other work in the exhibit more aggressively challenges identity, including typical characterizations of figures with whom mainstream society identifies. For instance, the Mohawk artist Alan Michelson uses an iconic bust of George Washington as a surface upon which to project maps showing the Iroquois villages destroyed by his armies. By these means, Washington is given a new identity: Instead of Founding Father, the first President is named Hanodaga:yas, meaning Town Destroyer.
Michelson is concerned with memory, and the false memories that support settler culture. Koyolzinth (Karen Miranda Rivadeneira) is interested in the latent memories of the Manta people of the Ecuadorian coast, from whom she is descended. In an extraordinary series of black-and-white photographs, she represents the story of the Sky Woman, who fell from the heavens and gave birth to the first people according to Amerindian oral tradition. Koyolzinth’s photographs directly evoke Sky Woman, embodying her as a nude figure in rugged outdoor settings. But there is more than meets the eye. These images simultaneously show the act of recollecting Sky Woman’s story through contact with Earth’s surface, a practice reflected in the word iyarina, which means “to remember by reflecting and contemplating the land” in the Kichwa language of Ecuador.
The land becomes a source of identity in Koyolzinth’s work, a role that is often voiced in oral tradition. Unlike the social construction of identity, which typically depends on differentiation and discrimination, this identification is unifying, much as the Sky Woman is the mother of everyone. Iyarina is the origin of self-identification. The process need never end.

NEW YORK (AP) — The man charged with opening fire in a Brooklyn subway car full of peoplewas jailed without bail Thursday as prosecutors told a judge he terrified all of New York City.
Brought into a Brooklyn federal court without handcuffs, a subdued Frank James, 62, softly answered standard questions about whether he understood the charges and the purpose of the brief hearing. His lawyer later asked the public not to prejudge him.
James was arrestedin Manhattan after calling a police tip line to say where he was Wednesday, a day after the nightmarish rush-hour attack left 10 people with gunshot wounds and countless others fearing for their safetyon the nation’s busiest subway system.
Authorities say he unleashed smoke bombs and dozens of bullets in a train full of morning commuters. He’s charged with a federal terrorism offense that applies to attacks on mass transit systems — authorities say there’s currently no evidence linking him to terror organizations and are still trying to derive a motive.
“The defendant terrifyingly opened fire on passengers on a crowded subway train, interrupting their morning commute in a way the city hasn’t seen in more than 20 years,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara K. Winik said, apparently referring to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
“The defendant’s attack was premeditated, was carefully planned and it caused terror among the victims and our entire city,” she said.
While James was in court, Hourari Benkada was in a hospital bed with a bullet wound in his leg.
Benkada said he was just feet away from the gunman on the train and has struggled to sleep since. Tuesday’s horrific scene keeps replaying in his mind.
“I’m still shocked about it,” Benkada said in a video interview Thursday, grimacing in pain as he recalled the attack.
He had headphones on, music blaring, as smoke began filling the subway car. He initially thought it was a small fire. But the smoke “kept escalating to black, black smoke like 9/11,” he said, “and the whole train was pitch-black.”
Then there were gunshots, screams and a scramble for safety. Benkada said he tried to shield a pregnant woman from getting hit during the mayhem, and as people pushed forward, a gunshot tore into his knee.
The shooting victims, who range in age from 16 to 60, are all expected to survive.
Prosecutors described James in court papers as a calculating shooter who wore a disguise — a construction worker-style hard hat and jacket that were shed right after the attack — and fired “in cold blood at terrified passengers who had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.”
But defense attorney Mia Eisner-Grynberg cautioned against “a rush to judgment.”
“Initial reports in a case like this are often inaccurate,” she said outside court. She noted that James alerted police to his whereabouts, 30 hours into a manhunt that included cellphone alerts to the general public.
Once he knew he was wanted, “he called Crime Stoppers to help,” Eisner-Grynberg said.
The manhunt began focusing on downtown Manhattan after police got a tip from a sharp-eyed high school junior on a photography class excursion.
Jack Griffin, 17, said he was looking for subjects for pictures when his eye was drawn to a man sitting on a bench with a duffel bag, resting amid the bustle of a street near Chinatown.
“As soon as I saw him, my first instinct was: ‘That’s him,’” Griffin said. He snapped some photos of the man, who mumbled something and quickly moved on. Then Griffin sent his photos to police, who dispatched officers to the area.
Eventually, police got 911 reports of other possible sightings — and they got a call from James, saying he was at a McDonald’s in the East Village neighborhood. He was gone when police got there, but bystanders spotted him and flagged down officers as they searched the neighborhood. James was apprehended a few blocks from the McDonald’s.
Two cousins, Zack Dahhan and Mohammad Cheikh, said they glimpsed the man and hastily looked up James’ wanted poster on their phones.
“And we say, ‘Oh, my God, this is the guy!’” as a number of people began to follow him, Dahhan said. The cousins said they pointed officers toward him.
James’ lawyers agreed Thursday to his being jailed, but said they could seek bail later.
At the request of James’ lawyers, Magistrate Roanne Mann said she would ask for James to get “psychiatric attention,” as well as magnesium tablets for leg cramps, at the federal lockup in Brooklyn where he’s being held.
Authorities say a trove of evidence connects James to the attack. His bank card, his cellphone and a key to a van he had rented were found at the shooting scene. Officers also found the handgun they said was used in the shooting; tracing records show James purchased the gun from a licensed gun dealer in Ohio in 2011.
In court papers, prosecutors suggested James had the means to carry out more more attacks, noting that he had ammunition and other gun-related items in a Philadelphia storage unit.
The New York City native had been living in Milwaukee and Philadelphia recently.
Investigators were examining many hours of videos that James posted on social media, as recently as Monday, in which he delivered profanity-laced diatribes about racism, society’s treatment of Black people, homelessness and violence. He also discussed his history of psychiatric treatment and complained about how New York’s mayor is dealing with homeless people on subways and with gun violence.
He also talked about shooting people, prosecutors noted in court papers.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A day after Moscow suffered a stinging symbolic defeat with the loss of the flagship of its Black Sea fleet, Russia’s Defense Ministry promised Friday to ramp up missile attacks on the Ukrainian capital in response to Ukraine’s alleged military “diversions on the Russian territory.”
The threat of intensified attacks on Kyiv came after Russian authorities accused Ukraine of launching airstrikes on residential buildings in Bryansk, a region that borders Ukraine, and wounding seven people. Authorities in another border region of Russia also reported Ukrainian shelling Thursday.
Life in Kyiv has been gradually returning to some normalcy after Russia failed to capture the capital and withdrew its troops in northern Ukraine to focus on a concentrated assault in the country’s east. A renewed bombardment could return the city’s residents to sheltering in subway stations and the steady wail of air raid sirens.
Ukrainian officials have not confirmed striking targets in Russia, and the reports by Russian authorities could not be independently verified. However, Ukrainian officials claimed their forces struck a key Russian warship with missiles on Thursday. If true, the claim would represent an important victory.
The guided-missile cruiser Moskva, named for the Russian capital, sank while being towed to port after suffering heavy damage under circumstances that remained in dispute. Moscow acknowledged a fire on board but not any attack. U.S. and other Western officials could not confirm what caused the blaze.
The Moskva had the capacity to carry 16 long-range cruise missiles, and its removal reduces Russia’s firepower in the Black Sea. The warship’s loss in an invasion already widely seen as a historic blunder also was a symbolic defeat for Moscow as its troops regroup for an offensive in eastern Ukraine after retreating from much of the north.
During the first days of the war, the crew of the Moskva reportedly called on Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island in the Black Sea to surrender in a standoff. A widely circulated recording featured a Ukrainian soldier saying in response: “Russian warship, go (expletive) yourself.”
The Associated Press could not independently verify the Snake Island incident, but Ukraine and its supporters consider it an iconic moment of defiance. The country recently unveiled a postage stamp commemorating it.
If Ukraine hit the Moskva with missiles, the cruiser likely represents the largest warship to be sunk in combat since the 1982 Falklands War, which saw a similar-sized cruiser called the ARA General Belgrano torpedoed by a British submarine, killing over 300 sailors on board.
In his nightly address Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Ukrainians they should be proud of having survived 50 days under Russian attack when the invaders “gave us a maximum of five.”
Listing the ways Ukraine has defended against the onslaught, Zelenskyy mentioned “those who showed that Russian warships can sail away, even if it’s to the bottom” of the sea. It was his only reference to the Moskva.
News about the flagship overshadowed Russian claims of advances in the southern port city of Mariupol, where Moscow’s forces have been battling the Ukrainians since the early days of the invasion in some of the heaviest fighting of the war — at a horrific cost to civilians.
Dwindling numbers of Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol are holding out against a siege that has trapped well over 100,000 civilians in desperate need of food, water and heating. David Beasley, executive director of the U.N. World Food Program, told AP in an interview Thursday that people are being “starved to death” in the besieged city.
Mariupol’s mayor said this week that more than 10,000 civilians had died and the death toll could surpass 20,000.
Mariupol’s capture is critical for Russia because it would allow its forces in the south, which came up through the annexed Crimean Peninsula, to fully link up with troops in the Donbas region, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland and the target of the looming offensive.
The Russian military continues to move helicopters and other equipment into place for such an effort, according to a senior U.S. defense official, and it is likely to add more ground combat units soon. But it’s still unclear when Russia might launch a full-scale campaign in the Donbas.
Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukraine in the region since 2014, the same year Russia seized Crimea. Russia has recognized the independence of the rebel regions in the Donbas.
Maksym Marchenko, governor of the Odesa region, said Ukrainian forces struck the Moskva with two Neptune missiles and caused “serious damage.”
Russia’s Defense Ministry said ammunition on board detonated as a result of a fire, without saying what caused the blaze. It said the “main missile weapons” were not damaged and that the crew, usually numbering about 500, abandoned the vessel. It wasn’t clear if there were any casualties. In addition to the cruise missiles, the warship also had air-defense missiles and other guns.
The Neptune is an anti-ship missile that was recently developed by Ukraine based on an earlier Soviet design. The launchers are mounted on trucks stationed near the coast, and, according to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, can hit targets up to 280 kilometers (175 miles) away. That would have put the Moskva within range, based on where the ship was when the fire began.
Launched as the Slava in 1979, the cruiser saw service in the Cold War and during conflicts in Georgia and Syria, and helped conduct peacetime scientific research with the United States. During the Cold War, it carried nuclear weapons.
British defense officials said the Moskva’s loss would likely force Moscow to change the way its naval forces operate in the Black Sea. In a social media post Friday, the U.K. Ministry of Defense said the ship, which returned to operational service last year after a major refit, “served a key role as both a command vessel and air defense node.”
The sinking “means Russia has now suffered damage to two key naval assets since invading Ukraine, the first being Russia’s Alligator-class landing ship Saratov on 24 March. Both events will likely lead Russia to review its maritime posture in the Black Sea,” the British ministry said.
On Thursday, other Russian ships in the northern Black Sea moved farther south after the Moskva incident, said a senior U.S. defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal military assessments.
While the U.S. was not able to confirm Ukraine’s claims of striking the warship, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan called it “a big blow to Russia.”
“They’ve had to kind of choose between two stories: One story is that it was just incompetence, and the other was that they came under attack, and neither is a particularly good outcome for them,” Sullivan told the Economic Club of Washington.
Russia invaded Feb. 24 and has lost potentially thousands of fighters. The conflict has killed untold numbers of Ukrainian civilians and forced millions more to flee.
It has also further inflated prices at grocery stores and gasoline pumps, while dragging on the global economy. The head of the International Monetary Fund said Thursday that the war helped push the organization to downgrade economic forecasts for 143 countries.

‘Pink Moon’ heralds spring, Passover
Published: Apr. 15, 2022 at 8:15 AM EDT|Updated: 11 minutes ago
(CNN) - The full moon will not be called blue this weekend. Instead, it will be called pink!
NASA said the “Pink Moon” will illuminate the sky from early Friday to Monday morning. The moon should be at its peak fullness Saturday afternoon.
This version of a full moon goes by several traditional names.
The “Pink Moon” honors its spring arrival, so it will not actually be the color pink.
It’s also known as the “Fish Moon” because, as coastal tribes note, it appears at the same time the shad fish swim upstream to spawn.
And it’s called a “Passover Moon” because its appearance coincides with the Jewish holiday.
Passover begins at sundown Friday and ends the following week at nightfall on April 23.

Tories set to lose 800 council seats at local elections - and could relinquish Thatcher's favourite council of Wandsworth - as Boris is warned Sir Keir Starmer is on course to replace him as PM
- New polling finds Conservatives are set to lose 800 council seats on 5 May
- Labour on course to gain 800 councillors and control of 20 councils
- Tories could lose Wandsworth - one of the party's flagship councils - to Labour
- Separate analysis finds Labour will be largest party after next general election
- This could put Sir Keir Starmer in Number 10 as head of minority government
The Conservatives are set to lose 800 council seats at next month's local elections as the Tories were warned Labour's Sir Keir Starmer is on course to enter Downing Street at the next general election.
According to new polling, the council and local authority contests on 5 May will see a 5% swing to Labour away from the Tories.
This means Labour are on course to gain about 800 councillors and control of around 20 councils.
These could include Bolton, Bridgend, Harlow, Merthyr Tydfil, Milton Keynes, Plymouth, Sheffield, Southampton, and Wirral.
Both Barnet and Wandsworth in London are also set to be seized by Labour, the polling by Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now suggested.
A Tory loss of Wandsworth to Labour would prove a seismic result, as the London borough was famously Margaret Thatcher's favourite and has been a flagship Conservative council for more than 40 years.
It was the first council to introduce Thatcher's right to buy scheme for council house tenants.
Tory control of the council has seen Wandsworth viewed as a pioneer of outsourcing local services and famous for its ultra-low council tax.
The polling predicted Boris Johnson's Tories are set to lose 800 councillors next month, although they may only lose control of a few councils.
They could even gain councils such as Elmbridge, Havering, Pendle, Vale of Glamorgan and Worcester, the study found.
It was suggested that such a result would be disappointing for the Tories but not catastrophic and not indicative of a meltdown in Conservative support.
New polling predicts Boris Johnson's Tories are set to lose 800 councillors next month, although they may only lose control of a few councils
Separate analysis shows that Sir Keir Starmer is on course to be the next PM as the head of a minority Labour government
Elsewhere, the polling found the Liberal Democrats are set to gain the new single unitary authority in Somerset, while Plaid Cymru would gain Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and the Isle of Anglesey.
The Prime Minister has been warned that a Tory humiliation at the local elections would further imperil his position in Number 10, following the Partygate scandal.
However, should a huge backlash from voters at Covid rule-breaking in Downing Street not arise, it would help Mr Johnson shore up his position as Conservative leader ahead of the next general election.
Yet, the pollsters warned that their survey was conducted before the PM and Chancellor Rishi Sunak were revealed to have receieved police fines as part of Scotland Yard's Partygate investigation.
The new polling forecast the Tories would lose 810 council seats, while Labour would gain 835. But this would not be a 'catastrophic defeat' for the Conservatives
A separate forecast from Electoral Calculus found that Labour is on course to be the largest party in Parliament after the next election
Tory hopes of winning the next general election will be dampened by a separate forecast from Electoral Calculus - based on different polling - that found Sir Keir could replace Mr Johnson as PM when seats in the House of Commons are next decided.
Their analysis found that Labour is on course to be the largest party in Parliament after the next election with 311 seats, although this would leave them short of a majority.
This would likely lead to Sir Keir being PM as the head of a minority Labour government, which would probably be supported by the Lib Dems or the SNP.
If Labour needed SNP support, the price could be another independence referendum in Scotland.
Bookies' Coral have put the Tories as odds on not to win a majority at the next general election, priced at 2-5.
The Tories could lose Wandsworth under Boris Johnson's watch. The council was famously a favourite of Margaret Thatcher (pictured with Mr Johnson in 2008)
Wandsworth was the first council to introduce the right to buy scheme for council house tenants introduced by Thatcher (pictured on a visit in 1978)
For their local elections polling, Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now asked more than 12,000 residents of district and unitary councils in Britain for their voting intention on 5 May.
The polling was conducted between 4 and 8 April.
Martin Baxter, CEO of Electoral Calculus said: 'If the actual results are similar to our predictions, then Boris Johnson will be spared new backbench pressure to unseat him.
'Although the Conservatives will lose some ground in these local elections, it doesn't look like a catastrophic defeat, and that is a good result for them after their poor poll ratings post-Partygate.'
Nick Fox of Find Out Now said: 'We're expecting the results to confirm the headway that Starmer has been making in the polls, but the council gains we have predicted for Labour haven't translated to Conservative losses, so it's not a result that will give Johnson any real unrest.
'Whether this is the end of the Partygate scandal or we are seeing its effects temporarily diffused by the conflict in Ukraine remains to be seen.'

After Russia lost its naval flagship, the Moskva, Moscow is now vowing to up its missile strikes on Kyiv.
The Russian ship was stationed in the Black Sea and sunk after being damaged in disputed circumstances.
Ukraine says it struck the vessel with missiles, while Moscow acknowledged a fire on board but not any attack.
The UK Ministry of Defense says Russia has suffered damage to two key naval assets since invading Ukraine.
The two events will likely lead Russia to review its maritime posture in the Black Sea.”
Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it struck a military target near Kyiv overnight and promised more strikes against the city.
This comes as Russian troops continue to fight for control over the city of Mariupol.
The key port is still holding out, a symbol of staunch Ukrainian resistance that has thwarted the Kremlin’s invasion plans.
Ukrainian troops are continuing to fight the vastly superior Russian forces in ferocious battles amid the ruins of what once was a bustling city on the Sea of Azov coast.
The Ukrainians’ fight against all odds has scuttled Moscow’s designs, tying up significant Russian forces and delaying the start of a planned Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine’s industrial heartland, Donbas.
Capturing Mariupol would allow Moscow to establish a land corridor to Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula which Russia annexed in 2014.

Nathan Cleary delivers a masterclass as brilliant Penrith beat Broncos 40-12 to maintain PERFECT record and seal 20th straight win at home... but faces nervous wait after being placed on report
- Penrith defeated Brisbane 40-12 to make it six wins in six games this season
- Reigning premiers have won their last 20 games at home
- Nathan Cleary was superb but was placed on report for a tackle on Billy Walters
- Broncos took an early lead through Tesi Niu but couldn't hang on in second half
- Brisbane have now lost four straight after winning their first two games
- Panthers had seven different try scorers as they ran riot at BlueBet Stadium
Penrith can lay claim to being the hardest team to beat at home in more than 50 years after putting on a second-half clinic to dispose of Brisbane 40-12.
On an historic Friday night at Bluebet Stadium, the Panthers chalked up their 20th straight win at their home ground as part of a streak that dates back to August 2019.
It came as Nathan Cleary set up two tries before ending the night on report for dangerous contact on Billy Walters' legs in a tackle.
Penrith defeated the Brisbane Broncos 40-12 to make it six wins in six games this season
The Panthers have won their last 20 games played at BlueBet Stadium
The Panthers' middle also had a field day, with Liam Martin, Spencer Leniu and Scott Sorensen all bagging tries and the latter having the finest game of his career.
Their domination overshadowed the excellence of Kotoni Staggs, with the Brisbane centre putting his hand up for Latrell Mitchell's NSW State of Origin jersey.
But it was one of the few bright spots for Brisbane, who only trailed 12-6 at halftime with the suspended Payne Haas headlining a glut of missing stars, before Tesi Niu was injured and the floodgates opened.
Just as every other visiting team has discovered in the past 32 months, Brisbane found out it takes more than individual brilliance to win at the Panthers.
Scott Sorensen put in a brilliant display for the Panthers, scoring a try in the first half
Liam Martin (right) was one of seven different try scorers for the Panthers in a dominating win
So good is their winning streak, they become the first team since Manly in the late 1960s to win 20 straight games at their home ground.
Cleary was again one of the stars, just days after inking a new five-year deal alongside father Ivan.
The No.7 and his halves partner linked up for Penrith's first try, with Jarome Luai making the most of a Viliame Kikau decoy run and stepping through a gap to hit back after the Broncos scored first.
Then Sorensen's heroics began.
Kotoni Staggs was one of Brisbane's best players, scoring a second half try for the Broncos
The Broncos took an early lead thanks to Tesi Niu (right) but couldn't hold on
The forward burst through to make it 12-6 at halftime when he went 25 metres to score, and broke the line again in the second half to allow Cleary to kick for a flying Taylan May on the next play.
Such has been May's rise, the winger is now the equal with Ryan Papenhuyzen as the leading try-scorer in the NRL this year after just his fourth first-grade game.
Fellow-winger Charlie Staines bagged a try from some quick hands from Liam Martin, while Izack Tago claimed a penalty try on the siren.
Brisbane have now lost four games in a row after starting the season with back-to-back wins
Staggs meanwhile was easily the Broncos' best.
The centre twice got on the outside of Tago, setting up Brisbane's first try when he found Niu back inside.
Staggs scored the visitor's second try, running onto an Adam Reynolds kick with the Broncos halfback having a good night with the boot.

A former personal assistant to Amber Heard said she never saw the actress suffer any physical abuse at the hands of then-husband Johnny Depp — but she said Heard once spit in her face when she asked for a higher salary.
Heard descended into screaming fits of blind rage, sent incoherent text messages at 4 a.m. and was often drunk and high on illegal drugs, Kate James testified in a video deposition that was played in court Thursday during the trial for Depp’s libel suit against Heard.
Depp, on the other hand, was very calm, almost shy, “like a total Southern gentleman,” James said.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor has accused Heard of indirectly defaming him in a 2018 opinion piece that she wrote for The Washington Post. Heard refers to herself in the article as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” The piece doesn’t name Depp. But his attorneys argue that it clearly references a restraining order that Heard sought in May 2016, right after Depp told her he wanted a divorce.
Depp denies abusing Heard, but Heard’s lawyers say evidence will prove that he did. The actor’s denials, they argue, lack credibility because he frequently drank and used drugs to the point of blacking out and failing to remember anything he did.
The video testimony from James offered an inverse view: Depp was the peaceful one, she said, while Heard was frequently intoxicated and verbally abusive, including to her own mother and sister.
“Her poor sister was treated like a dog that you kicked, basically,” James said.
James, who worked for Heard from 2012 to 2015, said she was paid “very poorly.” She said she was hired with an initial salary of $25 an hour and that her duties ranged from picking up Heard’s dry cleaning to talking with the actress’s Hollywood agents.
James said she also was tasked with picking up two copies of any magazine that featured Heard and storing them in the garage to prevent Depp from seeing them. Heard went into a “blind rage” when James failed to place the magazines in the garage, James said.
Regarding Heard and Depp’s time together, James said Heard was a “very dramatic person” who was deeply insecure in the relationship. Heard often called James to cry and complain about Depp, she said.
“I remember one time she called me when she was alone in New York City, and she was crying and walking around the streets,” James said. She said she told Heard to go inside: “I was worried that the paparazzi might take a photo of her.”
Some of the deposition focused on a text message that Depp had sent to James after he and Heard split up. Depp’s text read: “Come over for a spot of purple and we’ll fix her flabby ass nice and good.”
A lawyer asked if “spot of purple” meant wine and whether “her” meant Heard. James said she didn’t want to speculate.
“This is the way he writes,” James said of Depp. “It’s very random and you don’t sort of question it. … He writes in a very abstract way.”
Lawyers also presented a video deposition of Laurel Anderson, a couple’s therapist who worked with Heard and Depp in 2015, when they were ages 29 and 52, respectively.
Anderson said both suffered childhood abuse. As a couple, they were engaged in “mutual abuse,” she testified.
Heard’s father beat her, Anderson said, adding, “It was a point of pride to her if she felt disrespected to initiate a fight.”
Heard would also rather be in a fight with Depp than see him leave, and “would strike him to keep him there,” Anderson said.
The therapist recalled a time when Heard told her that Depp “was ‘stepping up,’ as she would say, on a lot of drugs.”
“And she slapped him because he was being incoherent and talking about being with another woman,” Anderson said. She noted that Depp’s mother was in the hospital at the time.
Anderson said Depp told her that Heard “gave as good as she got.” She also said that in at least one session in which she saw Heard alone, the actress told her that Depp hit her. She said Heard showed her bruises, both in photos and in person.
Anderson said Heard also told her that Depp at one point allegedly said, “No one likes you. You’re getting fame from me. I’m falling out of love with you. You’re a whore.”
Anderson also said that Heard’s “jackhammer style of talking” and habit of cutting off Depp overwhelmed him.
Heard “wanted to want to divorce” but also didn’t, and was still figuring out what to do, Anderson said. “She loved him. He loved her. She wasn’t stupid. She knew that what they were doing wasn’t healthy.”
Both Depp and Heard are expected to testify at the trial in Fairfax County Circuit Court, scheduled for six weeks, along with actors Paul Bettany and James Franco and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.

This story has been edited to correct a word in Anderson’s quote to “jackhammer,” not “chat-hammer.”

Which garden gloves with claws are best?
Digging in the dirt is one of life’s great pleasures. Whether you farm for a living or harvest microgreens from a container garden on a tiny urban balcony, growing your own plants is deeply satisfying. What is not so satisfying is digging the dirt out from under your nails or patching up tiny cuts caused by stray debris in the soil.
Protecting your hands with garden gloves goes well beyond preserving your perfect manicure, and if you want to dig in packed soil you’ll need some garden gloves with claws. Nnbb Garden Gloves With Claws are comfortable and really turn the soil over.
What to know before you buy garden gloves with claws
Material
Gardening gloves come in a wide variety of materials, including:
- Leather
- Plastic
- Fake leather
- Cotton
While it is possible to find them in other materials, garden gloves with claws come most often in a flexible combination of latex and plastic. The gloves are thick, waterproof latex, and the claws are made from plastic.
Comfort
Even though the primary use of garden gloves with claws is to protect your hands as you dig deeply into the soil, you’ll want to also consider your comfort. Since most of these gloves are made with plastics, things can get sweaty fast.
What to look for in quality garden gloves with claws
Before purchasing gloves, consider how often you garden and for how long. This will determine what features are most important for you.
Breathable
Since most people garden in warmer weather, look for breathable gloves to keep things cool. Some garden gloves with claws feature breathable, stretchy fabric on the back of the hand.
Multiple sizes
It should go without saying that your gloves should be comfortable, but some gardeners suffer through their chores in poorly fitted gloves. Some gloves labeled one-size-fits-all may prove too large or small. If you have had trouble with poorly fitting gloves in the past, stick to kinds with more size options.
Adequate length
Don’t waste your money on garden gloves that stop at the base of your hand. These will not offer protection from sharp sticks or brambles as you dig in dirt. The best garden gloves with claws have cuffs that extend at least 3 inches past the base of your hand. This also lets you tuck them neatly into a long-sleeved shirt — a good thing when you’re working in an area with poison ivy.
Removable claws
With removable claws, you can turn any pair of gardening gloves into a digging machine. And because the claws are so sturdy, chances are good you’ll wear out your gloves before the claws are done. If they are removable, simply transfer them to another pair.
How much you can expect to spend on garden gloves with claws
This is one of the most affordable pieces of safety gear you’ll ever buy. A pack of two or more pairs costs $10-$40.
Garden gloves with claws FAQ
Do you have to wear gloves when you garden?
A. It’s entirely optional. However, even the cleanest soil can harbor dangerous bacteria. The most common is toxoplasmosis, which is a bacteria found in animal feces. Most gardeners will not contract a serious infection when coming into contact with toxoplasmosis. However, if you are pregnant or immunocompromised, it can be quite serious.
Wearing gloves in the garden also protects your hands from scrapes, scratches and cuts. If you are working in a reclaimed garden area, you won’t have to worry about coming into contact with sharp debris.
Can garden gloves with claws go in the washing machine?
A. It depends on the material. Leather garden gloves should not, but other materials may be washer-safe. Leather gloves can be wiped clean with a damp paper towel, then conditioned using a leather soap or conditioning cream. Check the label on your gloves for care instructions.
If the claws are removable, they can likely be rinsed with hot water.

CLEVELAND (AP) — For decades, Cleveland’s home opener has been celebrated like a national holiday. Kids skip school, office workers clear out early and people flock downtown to welcome baseball back after another long winter.
It’s long been a day in Cleveland for renewal, hope. A fresh start.
Never more so than this year.
On Friday, the renamed Guardians will play for the first time at Progressive Field, officially launching a new era for a team known as the Indians since 1915 before a long-debated and fan-dividing name change finally happened last year.
There will be plenty of cheers, and perhaps some grumbling from those still coming to grips with the idea that their favorite baseball team isn’t quite the same,
“We know this is going to take time. Change is always hard,” said Alex King, the Guardians’ senior vice president of marketing and strategy who spearheaded the name transition. “Change of a team name that has been around for 100-plus years and everyone has grown up with, shared memories with — that’s incredibly hard.
“We not only understand that. We empathize with that and we want to try and build new memories, but do it in a way that’s meeting our fans where they’re at.”
Some of those memories begin taking form on Friday when Oscar winner Tom Hanks, who cut his acting teeth in this city while becoming a fan of the team in the 1970s, tosses a ceremonial first pitch to Larry Doby Jr., whose father broke the American League’s color barrier with Cleveland 75 years ago.
There will be a jet flyover and players for the Guardians and San Francisco Giants will all wear No. 42 as Major League Baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day.
And if that wasn’t enough to kick start a holiday weekend, the NBA’s Cavaliers, who live a relay throw across the plaza at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, will host a play-in game against Atlanta with the winner getting a postseason spot.
If not for baseball’s 99-day labor lockout pushing the opener back two weeks, the day would belong exclusively to the Guardians, who have won four straight games and have one of baseball’s best early season stories in rookie outfielder Steven Kwan, off to an historic start to his career.
Kwan is certain to receive a rousing ovation from the 29th consecutive opening-day sellout crowd, one that was slower to buy tickets in previous years for a variety of reasons, including the name change.
It’s been a challenging journey for Cleveland’s franchise, which has received its share of criticism — especially on social media — for the switch from those who felt the team caved to a vocal minority. The ballclub had already ditched the divisive Chief Wahoo logo and was working toward making a name change when the national reckoning on race in 2020 accelerated the process.
The team considered numerous names before landing on Guardians, which is meant to symbolize community strength and is a nod to massive, Art Deco statues that flank the Hope Memorial Bridge near the ballpark.
There were other obstacles, including the team being sued by a local roller derby team of the same name.
And while Guardians remains difficult for some to accept, and isn’t exactly rolling off everyone’s tongues just yet, it seems to be catching on.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t lingering backlash.
Whenever the team posts anything on its Twitter account, it’s usually met with a barrage of complaints and worse. The negativity prompted Christy Harst to post a YouTube video reminding fans why they became fans and encouraging them to accept the change.
“It made me sad,” said the mother of two and voice-over actress. “I felt like I wanted to remind my fellow fans why we’re fans. Do I understand people’s frustration? Absolutely. There’s no name that could make everyone happy. None.
“No matter what they named the team, people would be upset.”
The team has sought to find the right balance between embracing the club’s past, and not erasing it.
“The name Indians is always going to be a part of our history,” King said, “All of those great teams in the 1990s, the ’07 (World Series) run, the ’16 World Series, the Rajai Davis home run, those are going to be Indians memories.
“Those won’t diminish. They’re not going to change. The most important part of our name, as we’ve talked, about is Cleveland. We’ve tried to remind people that we’ve got these really strong roots. We’re not inventing something different. We’re evolving and this is the next chapter.”
Harst trusts that Cleveland fans, even the ones wrestling with the change, will eventually come around. After all, they’ve endured plenty of heartbreak; this isn’t nearly as painful as when the Browns left.
“Everyone was bitter, spitting nails back then,” she said. “Do we feel that way now with the name change? C’mon. That was a lot worse as a Cleveland sports fan. Let’s put things into perspective.”

Founder and CEO, Visual Lease.
In response to the ongoing impact of the global pandemic on revenues and business operations, companies are evolving how they prioritize and manage their commercial real estate leases. Many organizations are optimizing their lease portfolios, which means that in addition to closely monitoring and tracking their leases, they’re also analyzing to ensure that they get the most value from them.
For entities already compliant with the new lease accounting standards (ASC 842, GASB 87, IFRS 16 and soon, GASB 96), much of the legwork for lease optimization has already taken place. The leases have been identified, collected, inventoried, abstracted and organized. Through just taking a few extra steps, it is relatively easy to fully optimize your lease portfolios to gain benefits including sustained lease accounting compliance, cost savings and the ability to make more strategic business decisions about leased assets.
Lease Accounting And Cost Savings
The more leases a company has, the more challenging it becomes to properly manage them. For context, leases can span multiple geographies, lease terms and asset types, each with its own standard practices. To further complicate matters, these documents are often dispersed throughout an organization and are frequently missing key information that is required to successfully achieve lease accounting compliance.
Adding to the complexity of the lease accounting process is that the team of people responsible for managing and reporting on these documents often falls across accounting, financial planning and analysis, real estate, IT, legal, procurement, etc. With no single department at the helm, it’s very easy for companies to miss important information that not only impacts the accuracy of their calculations but also costs them significant amounts of money in missed options, overstated expenses and forgotten reimbursements.
Basically, all the time and energy companies put into negotiating their leases goes out the window when they do not have the ability to determine if they are getting the benefit of their deals. We saw these types of mistakes costing our clients millions and millions of dollars before they invested in their lease management efforts. To avoid these mistakes, it’s vital to spend time gathering and validating all lease data and to involve all the departments that work your leases to ensure there are no gaps in the information.
Making Strategic Leasing Decisions
Once you’ve vetted your lease data, it’s time to get it into one centralized location.
For companies that have a portfolio of leases, an Excel spreadsheet won’t do the trick, as it lacks the controls and audit trails needed for data integrity and to satisfy the auditors. In fact, today, only 10% of senior accounting and finance professionals use Excel for lease accounting. The majority rely on dedicated technology to establish control and maintain visibility across their portfolios.
Specialized systems are designed to help reduce risk and more easily manage leases across all teams that require access to lease data. They can also streamline your lease accounting processes by automatically generating audit-ready journal entries, disclosures and reports that are needed to achieve and sustain compliance. (Full disclosure: My company offers such a system, as do many others.)
The right solution will also provide the visibility needed to truly understand carefully gathered and validated lease data. By having all of this information in one secure location, one can easily keep tabs on terms and options, seizing opportunities to terminate or expand a lease, save money or reallocate funds.
All too often, businesses lose significant amounts of money by not taking time to analyze and optimize their lease portfolio. The details vary, but the underlying cause is always the same: The legal language in the lease impacts cash flow streams, which then drives inaccurate accounting. Lease optimization not only mitigates the risk of these costly errors but also empowers companies to uncover new financial opportunities in a time when every little advantage can go a very long way.

China, Uganda sign economic, technical cooperation agreement
KAMPALA, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Uganda and China on Thursday signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement aimed at improving the livelihood of Ugandans.
Matia Kasaija, the Ugandan minister of Finance, signed the document on behalf of Uganda while Zhang Lizhong, the Chinese ambassador to Uganda, signed it on behalf of China.
Kasaija said the deal would be used to implement projects that both countries would agree on to support social and livelihoods transformation.
"Over the years, China has, with no doubt, contributed to Uganda's socioeconomic transformation through cooperation in many fields, which includes financing of infrastructure projects like hydropower dams, roads and industrial parks, livelihood programs," Kasaija said.
He noted that despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, China continues to provide grant funding to Uganda.
Zhang said the agreement is part of efforts announced by China at the Eighth Ministerial Conference on the Forum on China Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) held in Senegal in November. At the meeting, China announced nine cooperation programs aimed at fostering growth in Africa.
"In Uganda, our two sides are working closely to make a lot of key cooperation projects. This agreement is part of efforts to pave way for more projects launched in Uganda," said Ambassador Zhang. "We hope that we can focus more on handy and practical technology cooperation projects with fast and good effects on Ugandan people's livelihood."

'Asian NATO' perilous and unwanted for Asia
Illutration: Liu Rui/GT
--An "Asian NATO" will surely be equally NA(o)TO-rious and hazardous, both militarily and economically.
--For the Asia-Pacific region, an "Asian NATO," even in its embryonic form, will be destined to heighten military risks, create more turmoil, and risk draging the entire region into Washington's insatiable gambit for more geopolitical clout and hegemony.
In the early 1990s, when the Soviet Union was heading straight toward its sudden dissolution, leaders from NATO member states rushed to do their calculations. Should the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which had been built upon the premise of countering the Soviet superpower, also become history with the demise of its raison d'être? Some pondered. But still, a host of politicians from NATO member states cautioned against its abolishment and argued that, even after the Soviet Union collapsed, the need to "preserve the strategic balance in Europe" still remained. It was with the belief of swapping Europe's strategic autonomy with the ostensible "strategic balance" that NATO offered, a bygone concept from the Cold War-era reemerged and eventually widened its scope in a new century, and instead of shrinking or fading away it has instead expanded, incorporating more and more Central and Eastern European nations into its membership.
NATO, Asian edition?
NATO's ambition and appetite have never been just confined to the Trans-Atlantic, as hardly had the Iron Curtain ceased to exist when NATO began to involve itself in wars of regime-change and invasions into Iraq and Afghanistan. In recent years the Western military alliance has also been rising in strength at an alarming rate, spreading its tentacles further to reach regions in Asia. High-level officials from Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia (with the latter, strictly speaking, simply being a nation that happens to be adjacent to Asia), among others, all being non-NATO states, and have long been frequently invited to join NATO meetings (including the one that was held earlier this month), at which NATO has spared no efforts to exercise its "long-arm jurisdiction" over issues such as the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.
Since the simmering tension between Russia and Ukraine (the latter has been keen to join NATO despite the former's fierce objection) escalated into a deadly war, Washington, the de facto leader of NATO, has grown increasingly active in preaching about the alliance's significance. Not only have senior US officials turned their global visits into opportunities for the special promotion of NATO, but they have also repeatedly cited the so-called "China threat" and "Ukraine lesson" as excuses to urge military alliances in the Asia-Pacific region to be further cemented and bolstered. In a flurry of meetings and phone calls after the eruption of the Ukraine conflict, US president Joe Biden praised the "supportive" role of the Quad, an alliance between the US, India, Japan, and Australia, while reassuring the bloc's partners of Washington's commitment to supporting Australia with nuclear submarines and other advanced weaponry (such as hypersonic weapons) under AUKUS, a trilateral pact between the US, UK, and Australia.
Whatever intentions Washington may harbor—whether integrating more Asian nations into the already loaded roster of the NATO alliance, or duplicating and nurturing more NATO replica or quasi-NATO intergovernmental organizations around the world—they will surely be equally NA(o)TO-rious and hazardous, both militarily and economically.
Cold War schemer Cartoon: Xu Zihe/GT
A security mirage
To begin with, Washington's attempts to build a NATO replica organization—or, as many are calling it, an "Asian NATO"—will only serve to sabotage regional security and stability instead of "promoting" these goals.
Through bilateral security treaties and multilateral defense alliances like the Quad and AUKUS, Washington has for years laboriously weaved its so called Indo-Pacific "collective defense web" into something akin to that of NATO, all at the expense of the common peace and stability shared by the entire region.
But the idea of seeking "collective security" through "collective defense" doesn't hold water because Washington's strategy by nature is hostile and "coercive," which is exactly what Barry Blechman has written and argued, an American scholar focusing on nuclear disarmament, in his 2020 book Military Coercion and US Foreign Policy.
Holding the banner of bloc politics and power politics, the US has relentlessly borrowed coercive and hegemonic tactics from its Cold War toolbox: stationing its omnipresent troops, deploying defensive systems, conducting joint naval exercises, and selling lethal weapons. All of these tactics, however, only serve to create a mirage of security, one that is parochial, unsustainable and can fail at any time (As Blechman pointed out, during the post-Cold War period US efforts to coerce other states failed as often as they succeeded).
Take the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula as an example. Washington has always acted as the major player on the issue, and with its perilous moves, the US has sometimes grabbed the limelight away from even the ROK and DPRK themselves. In 2016, Washington announced that it would deploy THAAD, an anti-ballistic missile defense system, in South Korea, against vehement protests from countries within the region and from South Koreans. This omnipotent but unnecessary defense system was combined with a bombardment of sanctions and unrelenting joint military exercises. This shows that Washington has utilized every coercive device at its disposal despite the crisis having become even more convoluted and insoluble in recent years.
Washington's military presence in the region has not only given rise to on-and-off tensions on the Korean Peninsula, but the US army itself has also been muddling the otherwise pacific and stable state of the region. Its spy planes have continued hovering and buzzing over sensitive waters, its ships and vessels have continued cruising in an often provocative manner, and one of its nuclear submarines was met with a collision in the South China Sea.
Setting NATO as an exemplar, Washington is bent on constructing a hostile and turbulent climate, where any sense of security and stability is exclusive to only those nations living under its military umbrella. The ongoing Ukraine conflict has offered the world a wake-up call that NATO's eastern expansion and growing coercion is no solution for peace, on the contrary, it was only the prelude to a shattered peace and a disrupted "strategic balance" in Europe. This scenario is exactly what the nations in Asia should act to prevent. For the Asia-Pacific region, an "Asian NATO," even in its embryonic form, will be destined to heighten military risks, create more turmoil, and risk draging the entire region into Washington's insatiable gambit for geopolitical clout and hegemony.
Australian doublespeak Illustration: Liu Rui/GT
A lose-lose trap
For years, China's peaceful rise and its dynamic trade ties with countries in Asia and beyond have become a thorn in Washington's side. Under the disguise of its "overarching" Indo-Pacific strategy, the US is utilizing military alliances to kidnap economic ties in the region, creating a lose-lose trap that no nation, except the US, wants to see.
The souring China-Australia relationship is the perfect case study of how Washington's bloc politics can take a toll on bilateral relations—and economic ties in particular—in the region of Asia and beyond.
China stands as Australia's largest trading partner, having imported approximately USD 164.8 billion worth of Australian goods last year, according to statistics released by the General Administration of Customs of China. By comparison, the US imported only around USD 12.5 billion worth of goods from Australia in 2021.
With Australia's trade axis leaning clearly towards one direction, Aussie leaders are still somehow convinced of the merits in shifting their foreign policies in another direction. Since the second half of 2020, Australia has joined Washington's call to smear China with baseless accusations, interfere in China's domestic affairs, and hype up the so-called "China threat," all against growing domestic concerns raised in Australia's frenzied anti-China rhetoric, stoked on by the US. This may fray the China-Australia relationship, one that Scott Morrison, Australian prime minister, has acknowledged as "valuable."
A possible Asian NATO may reflect part of Washington's efforts to resuscitate its "Pivot to Asia" strategy, but Asian nations' common interests have never revolved around the US: they remain deeply intertwined and deeply rooted in Asia.
Vibrant regional intergovernmental organizations in Asia like the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), together with promising free trade agreements, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which consists of the 10 members in ASEAN, plus China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, can serve as a strong indication that peace and development are still being prioritized and cherished and that multilateralism and cooperation can still prevail over bloc politics and confrontation.
(Cartoon by Ma Hongliang)
The world is not a land divided by different ideological lines or carved by different camps, awaiting Washington and the US military's alliances to conquer or deter enemies. In times of conflict and turmoil, we should all do more to cherish peace, a peace that is consolidated through common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security rather than sustained by pressure politics or Cold War-like power equilibriums. An "Asian NATO," by its nature, goes against the peace as we know it and will inevitably impair the stability and prosperity of the region. If anything, it is beneficial—only for its architect, the US itself.

A line of advanced healthcare clinics across the continental US opens another location, increasing their clinic count to six. Advanced Spine and Posture plans to continue opening clinics across the country to make chiropractic and wellness care highly accessible to those looking for relief.
LAS VEGAS, April 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Spine and Posture (ASP) is a wellness organization that provides holistic healthcare services ranging from physical therapy to chiropractic care. Founded by Dr. David Golan and Dr. Jason Jaeger, ASP was created with the intention of delivering wellness-based care to people with a variety of needs ranging from postural concerns to injury rehabilitation to overall health improvement. Having now seen thousands of patients in five different locations across Nevada and Michigan, ASP has opened another location to continue its expanding reach across the US.
ASP's newest location, Advanced Spine and Posture of Rancho Oakey, Nevada, is under the supervision of Dr. Stephanie Youngblood, an expert chiropractor with over 30 years of experience in the wellness industry. ASP's new Rancho Oakey chiropractic clinic offers high-quality chiropractic care intended to address neck and back pain, postural concerns, spinal deformities, and injury rehabilitation.
Other branches in ASP's nationwide organization offer similar treatments, and some include the services of physical therapists, massage therapists, and on-site medical doctors. A few Advanced Spine and Posture clinics also offer regenerative medicine, a stem-cell-based treatment that can help to deliver pain relief and improve the range of motion, strength, and recovery in an injured body part.
Chiropractic BioPhysics® is another type of care provided by several Advanced Spine and Posture locations. Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) is a special branch of chiropractic science in which only a handful of chiropractors across the United States are certified. CBP is different than traditional chiropractic care in that it uses mirror-image adjustments, a comprehensive set of detailed x-rays, and customized spinal traction setups to correct abnormalities in the spinal structure. Patients who seek out CBP-certified practitioners are typically looking for long-term posture correction, pain relief, and overall wellness support.
Advanced Spine and Posture of Las Vegas Rancho Oakey is open and prepared to provide the highest quality of chiropractic service available. Currently offering a free consultation and a complete wellness screen special offer, patients looking to improve their spinal health can begin their wellness journey with a running start.
Of her over thirty-year commitment to chiropractic care, Dr. Stephanie Youngblood says "I became a chiropractor because I feel chiropractic saved my life. It is my calling." This type of enthusiasm around chiropractic care isn't unusual at Advanced Spine and Posture—in fact, it's emblematic of the dedication and devotion of ASP's founders, both of whom are passionate about providing accessible, affordable, and effective holistic healthcare to their communities.

It took Keegan Akin a moment before he decided to amend his choice of words. The Orioles left-hander had acknowledged his past issues putting the ball in the strike zone, a side effect of trying to be too fine, too perfect, when on the mound.
“It’s kind of gotten me in trouble,” Akin said. Then he paused and reconsidered. “Actually, it’s gotten me in a lot of trouble.”
He realized that in the moment, with ballooning pitch counts leading to high walk rates and more than 1.5 walks plus hits allowed per inning in his first two major league cameos. As Akin rehabbed this offseason from a core injury that interrupted the end of his 2021 campaign, he took a closer look at the numbers, and they validated his suspicions.
Across his career, the slugging percentage against him when in a 2-1 count is .733. In 3-1 counts, it dips to .600, but the on-base percentage soars to .870. By comparison, opponents’ slugging percentages off Akin sit at .348 in 1-2 counts and .366 in 0-2 counts.
Seeing it so plainly, Akin made a resolution. His perfectionist streak on the mound? The one that causes him to nibble at corners and prolong at-bats? That would become a thing of the past. Akin has since adopted a new mentality to live by, and it has led to two standout long relief outings to begin his 2022 season.
“For me, it’s kill mode,” Akin said. “Go, go, go. Two, three pitches and get them out of there.”
To get here, though, back in Baltimore’s clubhouse with the trust of manager Brandon Hyde, he needed to recover from a core surgery he underwent in September. That turned his offseason into a rush to be ready for spring training.
Akin extended the physical therapy sessions near his home in Michigan an extra month and a half, still feeling the lasting effects of a hip adductor strain and his abdominal surgery. And when he arrived in Sarasota, Florida, for spring training, he still wasn’t fully fit.
He felt it on the field, a lack of game shape. And he felt it in his mind, the lingering thoughts of his injuries and a tendency to be overly precise leading to the opposite — missed spots.
“The injury was kind of in my head in camp, trying to get over that little hump and feel healthy again,” Akin said. “The main goal was just to feel healthy again.”
He knew he needed to perform well enough, too, if he wanted to carve out a spot on the Orioles’ season-opening roster. Even with his rocky outings in Florida — he gave up five runs and six walks in 5 1/3 innings — an expanded roster to 28 players in April helped earn him a place.
And his performances to begin the year could help keep him around for the long term, adapting to a bullpen role after periodic starts in 2020 and 2021.
“I’m glad he didn’t let his spring roll into the season,” left-hander Paul Fry said. “I had a bad spring last spring, so I understand what that can do to you mentally. But I think he’s just attacking the zone.”
There’s plenty of downtime for relievers in the bullpen. That’s time Fry and Akin take advantage of, discussing the mental side of pitching. Akin and Fry have both dealt with the tendency to be too fine on the mound, leading to walks.
So Fry first broached the topic in the bullpen during the season-opening series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
“It’s one pitch at a time,” Fry said, as much to counsel Akin as to remind himself. “Execute this and results are what they are. You can’t control what happens when it leaves your hands. So go from there. Execute the pitch.”
With those words ringing in his head, Akin took the mound at Tropicana Field for his first appearance of the season last weekend. He promptly delivered three scoreless innings, allowing one hit while striking out three. He only threw four balls in the 31-pitch outing, either.
Three days later, Akin returned for 2 2/3 innings against the Milwaukee Brewers, allowing one hit while throwing 24 strikes among his 35 pitches. In two outings to begin this season, just 37.9% of his pitches were thrown outside the zone, according to MLB Statcast data. Across his 2020 and 2021 seasons, he threw 46.6% of his pitches outside the zone.
“Maybe he got caught up in trying to be too perfect [in the past], trying to show what he can do rather than just doing what he can do and letting that be good enough,” Fry said. “I think attacking with strike one is huge for him.”
It’s all part of Akin’s new mentality when he’s on the mound, loosening his desire to pick corners in favor of going right after a hitter.
“Be on the attack,” Akin said. “Just attack.”

China expects steady investment growth in Q1: official
In the fourth quarter of 2021, such bonds worth 1.2 trillion yuan (187.81 billion yuan) were issued, while another 3.65 trillion yuan of the bonds will be offered this year
Investment in China is expected to maintain stable expansion in the first quarter of the year despite Covid-19 disruptions, an official with the country's top economic planner said Friday.
The number of newly started projects has increased significantly from the same period last year, which will provide strong support for investment growth, Ou Hong, an official with the National Development and Reform Commission, told a press conference.
Large-scale local government special bonds available this year will play an important role in promoting investment growth, Ou said.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, such bonds worth 1.2 trillion yuan (187.81 billion yuan) were issued, while another 3.65 trillion yuan of the bonds will be offered this year.
Ou also noted multiple areas with great potential for investment, such as strengthening weak links of infrastructure as well as promoting the development of low-carbon projects, emerging industries and a new type of urbanization.
In the first two months of the year, investment in China rose 12.2 percent year on year, 7.3 percentage points higher than the figure for the whole year of 2021

A blustery and cold Friday; still chilly with sunshine and shower chances for Easter weekend
Wind chill values will be in the teens and 20s today and Saturday
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Cold air continues to blow into the area today on the backside of the large storm system that has been hovering in our region for the past few days, making for a blustery and raw Friday. We’ll have clouds and a few flurries to start the day with increasing sunshine in store for the midday and afternoon hours. West winds will occasionally reach 30 miles per hour this morning and those gusts will only be around 20 to 25 miles per hour in the afternoon. It’ll be a blustery day, but not nearly as windy as Thursday’s 50 to 60-mile-per-hour gusts! High temperatures today will be in the upper 30s with wind chill values moving up from the teens to the 20s.
Temperatures tonight will fall into the low 20s with less of a northwest breeze as high pressure nudges its way into the region from the northwest.
We’ll enjoy much more sunshine during the day on Saturday with high temperatures in the low 40s and a brisk northwest breeze. Winds will reach 20 miles per hour at times, but it won’t be nearly as gusty as the past few days have been.
A storm system will graze the area to the north on Sunday and clouds will thicken first thing in the morning as a result. There will be a chance of light rain and snow showers in the afternoon. High temperatures will be in the low 40s with a much lighter southerly breeze.
After some brief, light rain and snow showers early Monday, we’ll have breaks of sunshine during the afternoon. High temperatures will again only be around 40 degrees.
Warmer air will begin to move in for Tuesday ahead of a storm system that will be approaching from the west. We’ll have a few afternoon rain showers with high temperatures in the mid and upper 40s. A few showers will hang around into Wednesday with breaks of sunshine later in the day and high temperatures will be in the low 50s.
The end of next week will feature increasing sunshine with a warming trend. Expect high temperatures Thursday with readings in the low 50s with upper 50s expected next Friday. Temperatures will possibly make it into the mid and upper 60s for the following weekend although there will be a chance of rain, especially on Sunday.

A total of 136 persons lost their lives through road accidents in the Eastern Region between January and March which formed the first quarter of 2022.
These deaths were recorded from a total of 104 fatal accidents recorded in the Region.
Disclosing this to stakeholders in a meeting organized by the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) in Koforidua, the Eastern Regional Commander of the Police MTTD, Chief Superintendent Stephen Ahiatafu, said the number of deaths exceeded that which was recorded within the same time in 2021.
He said out of the 136 deaths, commercial vehicles killed 64, private cars killed 25, and motorcycles and tricycles killed 47 whereas all combined killed 36 pedestrians.
Chief Superintendent Ahiatafu also juxtaposed that within the same period in 2021, 128 deaths were recorded on the road from a total of 97 fatal accidents.
He explained that commercial vehicles killed 59, private vehicles slew 14 whiles motorcycles and tricycles killed 55, with all of them combined killing 24 pedestrians.
Unhappy about the unpleasant report, the Eastern Regional MTTD Commander called on stakeholders, especially the driver unions, to put hands on deck to address the indiscipline and reckless driving on the road.
He expressed worry that usually when the police arrest a reckless driver and begins processes to arraign them before the court, then, suddenly, there would be many phone calls from the powers that be to release them.
That, the MTTD Commander said, is hampering the advocacy for road safety in the country.
In mapping up strategies to tackle recklessness and reduce accidents on the road this Easter festive season, the stakeholders together agreed that enforcement agencies, like the police, should up their game and be on the road to crackdown on recalcitrant motorists.
The stakeholders also suggested that Christ preachers who mostly preach on the streets and markets should make road safety education the core of their preaching.
They expressed that enforcement agencies should ensure that all broken trucks should be towed off the roads to prevent collisions.
The stakeholders also appealed that a rest stop should be constructed around Nkawkaw to serve tiring drivers who have driven over three or more hours to rest before continuing their journeys.
"We are appealing to authorities to ensure that all faded road markings are deepened this Easter to make night driving quite smooth," one of the stakeholders appealed.
To the stakeholders, to ensure accident-free Easter, district assemblies should enforce bylaws that ban 'floating' drivers' activities since records suggest that they are the leading cause of road accidents in the country.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Until a few days ago, Volodymyr Musyak was on the front lines defending Ukraine from Russia's devastating assault on his nation. Now he's preparing to pick up a bow and arrow in the Invictus Games archery competition.
The sporting event for active service personnel and veterans who are ill, injured or wounded opens Saturday and ends April 22 in this Dutch city that calls itself the global center of peace and justice.
Those concepts seem a world away to the team of 19 athletes from Ukraine and their supporters as they settle in The Hague for the games.
“I think that emotionally it’s something that requires time ... because we come from a very disturbed area as we come from the areas where the actual killings every day are happening, the shelling, the bombing, we hear sirens every day,” said team manager Oksana Pashkevych.
One of the team, Taira Paievska, did not even make the trip after being taken hostage by Russian forces in Mariupol where she worked as a paramedic, Pashkevych said.
Four Ukrainians who were not due to participate in the games but were active in the worldwide community of injured servicemen and women died in March, two while on active duty and two in rocket attacks, Invictus Games organizers said on their website.
Pavlo Kovalskyi, who is participating in rowing, archery, wheelchair basketball and possibly also sitting volleyball, said that, as well as competing, he wants to spread the word about the harsh realities of war in his homeland.
Traveling to the games gives the 31-year-old a chance "better to tell, convey information to the audience, our friends, our new acquaintances, just fellow athletes, what is happening now,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the team on via a video link after their arrival.
“Victory is important for us, it is important to prove that we are all unconquered," he told the participants. “And your team is part of the spirit of indomitability of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people and each of us.”
The Ukrainians are among some 500 competitors from 20 nations participating in the Invictus Games that begin with an opening ceremony Saturday and end April 22. Russia has never taken part in any of the previous games and does not have a team in The Hague.
The event is the brainchild of Britain’s Prince Harry, who will be in The Hague with his wife, Meghan, for the opening days of the games, which were twice delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The first edition of the games was held in London in 2014, followed by Orlando in 2016, Toronto in 2017 and Sydney in 2018.
Service personnel compete in athletics, archery, cycling, indoor rowing, powerlifting, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair basketball, and wheelchair rugby as well as a driving challenge organized by one of the event's official partners, car maker Jaguar Land Rover.
For the Ukrainians, the games are a brief respite from the grim realities of life in wartime and an opportunity to highlight the plight of their nation.
“The death, the destruction, the rapes, everything, this is something that my competitors and team staff members experience every day," Pashkevych said. "So it needs to be heard, it needs to be told. It is very important for us that we, as Ukrainians, have that voice, have a platform to voice who we are, what we do and what we experience every single day since Feb. 24.”
Musyak, who suffers from the a concussion caused by a mine blast, is competing in events including archery, but has to prepare without his coach, Dmytro Sydoruk, who died in the war.
“On the eve of our departure, he died," Musyak said. “Whether military or civilian, every loss for us, especially when our children are killed, when civilians are killed, when women are killed, is an irreparable loss.”
And while Musyak is competing in The Hague, his mind is elsewhere.
“We are only the second day here, we got here from the front line and, until now, I’m mentally with my brothers in arms, of course," he said. "After the end of the competition, we return to the front line to defend our country.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Three primates suffered frostbite while enduring subfreezing conditions this year at an exotic animal farm operated by a North Carolina county commissioner that has been repeatedly cited by federal inspectors.
The latest citations, involving a black and white ruffed lemur, a De Brazza’s monkey and a capuchin, were issued in March by the U.S. Department of Agriculture against Zootastic Park of Lake Norman, The Charlotte Observer reported.
“The lemur’s hand was injured and remains contracted while the De Brazza’s and capuchin suffered the loss of their tail tips,” according to a copy of the federal inspection report, obtained by the animal-welfare group PETA.
Scottie Brown, the Iredell County commissioner who owns the park outside Charlotte, didn’t reply to a phone message from the newspaper on Thursday.
In another instance, the inspector saw a young howler monkey “hugging a live electric cord that was connected to a heating pad inside its enclosure.” That could have hurt or killed the monkey, the inspector wrote.
The USDA also cited Zootastic for medicating animals without a veterinarian present, allowing visitors unsupervised access to some animals and failing to document its purchase or disposal of at least a dozen animals, the inspection reports show.
Federal officials ordered Zootastic to fix all of the issues by late March, but didn’t fine the park for the violations.
In August 2021, a USDA inspector found that maggots had eaten the flesh of three wolves and that exotic squirrels showed signs of “self-trauma,” according to the newspaper.
An exotic tri-colored Prevost’s squirrel, native of Southeast Asia, had a superficial wound that Zootastic failed to report to its attending veterinarian, the inspector noted in her report.
The squirrel recently had its tail amputated at a veterinary hospital “due to apparent ongoing self-trauma,” the inspector wrote. Another Prevost’s squirrel previously had its tail amputated for the same reason, the inspector wrote.
By summer 2021, the USDA had inspected Zootastic 27 times since 2014, agency records reviewed by the Observer show. Inspectors cited the zoo for various animal-welfare violations on 14 of the visits, according to the documents.
In 2016, the USDA fined the zoo $7,450 for nine violations, including a poorly built enclosure that let a kinkajou escape. A lion cub at the zoo killed the tropical rain forest mammal, the inspection records showed.
