Bangladesh set to be new hub for Indian auto companies Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra and Bajaj Auto have stepped up their game through joint ventures and begun identifying homegrown distributor groups to assemble a major portion of their products in Bangladesh. These companies are firming up launches and ramping up capacity as they offer a very high level of customization to customers, reinforcing the product portfolio across all segments in the region, experts said. Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra and Bajaj Auto step up game , through joint ventures , expanding capacity and launching new products, Emission standards in Bangladesh also lag behind those in India and other developed nations, Auto OEMs find it easier to service customers in Bangladesh, as its an India like market, As Sri Lanka is engulfed with its economic crisis, the new destination for Indian auto companies seems to be Bangladesh that is on the brink of a major economic boom, spurring auto majors to look eastwards. Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra and Bajaj Auto have stepped up their game through joint ventures and begun identifying homegrown distributor groups to assemble a major portion of their products in Bangladesh. These companies are firming up launches and ramping up capacity as they offer a very high level of customization to customers, reinforcing the product portfolio across all segments in the region, experts said. “Automobile majors are working with the government, industry associations and with SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) to help develop an auto policy that serves the needs of customers and the local industry. We are looking forward to introducing high end bikes, fuel efficient CNG 3Ws and in due course, EVs”, said Rakesh Sharma, ED, Bajaj Auto, a leader in 2&3 wheelers in Bangladesh. “We actively support our distribution partners through local manufacturing, financing and go- to- market operations”, added Sharma. Tata Motors is the largest commercial vehicle brand, including small & heavy CVs and buses in Bangladesh with a two-third share. “It continues to invest in Bangladesh in developing a suitable product portfolio to serve our customers, building a wide network of sales & services, and expanding our CKD assembly facility in Jessore”, said a TAMO spokesperson. Indian auto OEMs have focused on building their presence in the South Asian, African and Middle Eastern markets over the last few decades. In the economic downturn caused by Covid, the Bangladesh market continued to sparkle while most others suffered, said Kaushik Narayan, CEO of Leaptrucks, a platform for the sale of trucks and buses. Emission standards in Bangladesh also lag India’s and other developed nations. With a wide range of value for money products available in their portfolio across multiple emission standards, matching terrain and weather conditions, Indian OEMs are uniquely positioned to cater to the requirements of the Bangladesh market, Narayan said. Indian auto OEMs are capitalising on this growth story in Bangladesh by making substantial investments in JV and assembly operations. It's an India like market, so auto OEMs find it easier to service such customers, said Kavan Mukhtar, head, auto practice, at PwC. Mahindra Automotive, which works with the local partner Rangs Group, has established itself in the pick-up segment. In tractors, Mahindra is exploring possibilities of local assembly of some specific products which will help the Bangladesh government in their program of ‘Make in Bangladesh.’ “We are also exploring possibilities in the aggrotech space to help farmers achieve higher yields and prosperity. Mahindra has partnered with the Karnaphuli Group and Rancon Group for distribution of products”, said a Mahindra spokesperson. Chennai-based truck major Ashok Leyland, through its channel partner IFAD Auto, sells 65% of its locally assembled Light and Medium commercial trucks and buses in Bangladesh. “The plant includes a bus body assembly facility and cab weld line, a first of its kind in Bangladesh. We shall continue to promote locally assembled products which strengthen the local economy, develop suppliers base and provide local job opportunities,” said the Ashok Leyland spokesperson. Ashok Leyland is currently the market leader in bus and 16T (Medium and Heavy commercial vehicle MHCV) segment. "Our LCV platform, Dost, is well accepted in Bangladesh and we are looking forward to the launch of Phoenix, our new 3.5T LCV in FY23. Our 10-14T ICV platform is also gaining market share and we look to enhance its sales through added features”, he added. Indian passenger vehicles, two and three wheelers, light trucks, buses saw an average sales growth of 15-20% in Bangladesh in the last 2-3 years despite the dominance of Japanese reconditioned vehicles. This time it is Zoeb Karampura who has been associated with the EV maker since November 2018 and exited as its Director- Chief Engineer, Electric Vehicles & Charger Systems. He is joining Mahindra Electric Mobility, sources close to the development told ETAuto. The Bengaluru based startup showcased its indigenously developed cell manufacturing capacity on Thursday & plans to ramp up to 50 Megawatt hour this year before pressing the pedal to 1 Gigawatt hour by 2025. By the turn of this decade, it is aiming at 25 GWh capacity which would entail an investment of over INR 10,000 crore. The deal is likely to be announced by the end of May or early June, people aware of the matter said, asking not to be named. They also did not reveal any likely financial terms or how the Motherson Group will fund the deal.

Mundo Deportivo's splash headline on Wednesday morning read: 'Beating without knockout' Spanish newspaper AS focused on work being needed in the return leg next Wednesday Prolific striker Karim Benzema handed the Spanish giants a lifeline by netting before half-time.

There's a frog playing drums, an alien on guitar, and a humanoid creature with a television for a head on vocals on the cover of Saga's Issue 58. It's a collection of characters that's par for the course for the award-winning science fiction epic, which pretty quickly amassed a legion of fans after its first issue in 2012. Then, in 2018, creators Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples announced their saga would be going on hiatus. Their series returned this year, in February, and Vaughan was ready to get started. "I can't stop thinking about it," he said. "I think most of my hiatus was really spent still focused on Saga and sort of plotting out the next several years of these character's adventures." If you call running for your life while dangerous assassins shoot lasers at you "adventures." The weirder the better At the heart of the story is a family — Alana and Marko and their daughter, Hazel. Alana and Marko are star-crossed lovers from opposite ends of a centuries-long intergalactic war. When their home planets catch wind of Hazel's existence, they put a bounty on her head. Hazel's a fugitive from the minute she's born. "You know, her family is protecting her, cradling her, carrying her, trying to help her to survive," Vaughan said. In their journey for safe harbor, they meet and battle both friendly and sinister forces across the universe. There are assassins with eight legs and sharp teeth. A cat that can tell when someone is lying. Even stern grandparents appearing out of nowhere. And this could all be happening on a planetoid that's about to turn into a black-hole-esque creature. It's a lot. "I think my specialty is sort of writing weird, far out, imaginative, shocking, unexpected things," Vaughan said. And he credits artist and co-creator Fiona Staples with taking that wackiness and making it so grounded and relatable and easy to digest. "Her storytelling is so immersive and her characters, no matter how weird they are or, you know, strange looking aliens, I think people just immediately fall in love with them," Vaughan said. He said he learnt early on that his job was mostly to stay out of Staples' way. Take Alana and Marko, for instance. "I said, 'Oh, you know, this main character, the male has horns and the female has wings, and other than that, I don't really care what they look like,'" he said. "I said at the time, I think there's a glut of redheads in comics, so maybe don't make the wife a redhead. And Fiona said, 'Do they have to be white?'" They didn't. So Alana has darker skin — Staples has said she envisioned her as biracial — and Marko is Asian. Finding art in death Now, just because this is a series about a young family doesn't mean it's family-friendly. There's full frontal nudity, sex, and a lot of violence in its pages. Staples explains why. "I'm a radical pacifist who despises violence, and as a creator, I recognize that violence is just awesome to watch, that it's beautiful and appealing," she said. In Staples' hands, blood splashes across the page in beautiful arcs. Characters die in gruesome, inventive ways. And unlike some comics, when characters die in Saga, there's no coming back. "There's going to be no sort of magical resurrection. And because we're telling a story about a never-ending war, that violence and death and loss are always going to be part of this," Staples said. Vaughan said he wanted death and violence in Saga to have real stakes. Real consequences. It's part of why he started writing the series in the first place. "I'm a parent now ... and I wanted to tell a story that is not really about escapism so much as me trying to process my misgivings, my fears, my hopes for bringing children into a world that is sometimes nightmarish and beyond comprehension," he said. Audiences have really responded. Issues of Saga regularly sell out, or need to be reprinted. And it's been honored with some of the highest awards in comics and science fiction publishing. So the decision to interrupt that momentum and go on hiatus was not an easy one. Amy Dallen worked at a comic shop in southern California until recently, and said Saga stood out because it mixed so many different genres. "If you're going to get hooked by an epic science fiction story, if you're interested in a war story, if you have any romance in your heart, there's a good chance this is going to hook you," she said. "There is sort of a running comic shop joke that there are certain volume ones where you can give them to someone and sort of just say, well, I'll see you tomorrow." According to Image, there have been over six million copies of Saga sold. Orders for Issue #55 — the first post-hiatus issue — were double the number of orders for Issue #54. Oh, and for those of you saying "I'll just wait for a TV show or movie," you'll be waiting quite a while. "When people tell me, 'Oh don't you want it to be a movie? Wouldn't it be thrilling to see these characters brought to life?' I think I have already seen that. They are so alive on that page," Vaughan said. For both him and Staples, seeing their characters on the page is more than enough. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

Cambridge Crown Court jails man for stalking former girlfriend - Credit: PA A man who stalked and harassed his former girlfriend following the breakdown of their relationship has been jailed for more than two years. Jordan Affleck, 24, dated the woman between June 2020 and June last year and the pair were living in Godmanchester together for eight months. However, Affleck became more abusive, and after the relationship broke down, he bombarded the woman with messages and calls during a period between July and September last year. He turned up at her house unannounced and left unwanted gifts, as well as making threats toward her and her family. The stalking and harassment caused the woman to move in with her friend in a different area of the county and, when it still did not stop, her own family. Throughout July last year, Affleck’s harassment became more frequent and included calls from multiple different phone numbers, withheld numbers and numerous social media accounts. Affleck was arrested and charged with stalking and coercive control. However, late last year, he was released by the court on conditional bail, with conditions including not to contact his ex-girlfriend and not to visit Cambridgeshire. Despite this, Affleck, of Liddell Way, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, still carried on his campaign of harassment.

His harassment included bombarding the woman with 19 emails in two days, visiting her family’s house with a pumpkin near Halloween and visiting the house again, telling her family he had walked 80 miles in three days to try and find her. Affleck was arrested in St Ives, despite conditions not to enter the county. In a police interview, he answered: “no comment” to all questions, however, he later pleaded guilty to one count of stalking involving serious alarm or distress and one count of harassment. He was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, April 22, where he was handed a total of two years and four months in prison. Affleck was also given a seven-year restraining order, preventing him from contacting his victim or entering specific areas of Cambridgeshire. DC Alan Armstrong, who investigated, said: “Affleck’s actions left his victim feeling like she could no longer live in her own home, which was completely unacceptable. “He refused to accept the relationship was over and persistently stalked and harassed her. Stalking can be a terrifying experience and leave victims feeling isolated and frightened. “This case highlights that stalking isn’t a one-off crime and often includes a series of incidents which, when taken in isolation, may seem trivial, but when put together, can be very scary. “We would encourage anyone who fears they may be being stalked or harassed to get in touch. We’re here for victims 24/7 and will support them, as well as do all we can to bring offenders to justice.” More information and advice on stalking and harassment can be found on the force’s dedicated web page.

"Develop a healthier emotional relationship with Joe Manchin" By artappraiser on Tue, 04/26/2022 - 9:44pm | - Add new comment - 272 reads Comments Popularity is one thing, but Yang basically started a $1 million company or sold off a halfway-performing startup for $1 mill and then went to self-promoting. Not a stunning CV if we think he'll hold high office. May have good intentions, but ppl will want to see more. by PeraclesPlease on Wed, 04/27/2022 - 2:21am This thread reminds me - You know, once upon a time, conservative talk radio was dominated by a lot of gurus like Dennis Prager, who always said "happiness is a serious problem." They had Dr. Laura, etc. At the time, they were a wholesome juxtaposition to the raunchy sex advice letter writers like Dan Savage. Back then, conservatism liked people and understood them, while liberals hated people and thought they were all stupid. That appears to have flipped. The Trump era seems to have pushed a lot of people like that in to some weird places. I have no idea what's going on with Dr. Laura but Prager is now a 100% culture war grievance artist. His content is entirely uninteresting and petty. Michael Medved is largely quiet. The whole right seems more obsessed with Russian talking points than any sort of life advice. George Will is now professionally dissing the Right on News Nation. Progressivism seems to be the new conservatism, so someone somewhere should try filling that vacuum. I hear people talking about the loneliness epidemic - maybe advice on how to build community without forcing yourself in to someone's life. Just thinking out loud. by Orion on Wed, 04/27/2022 - 1:55am

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A man sentenced to death for fatally shooting a Tennessee sheriff’s deputy in 2018 before setting fire to his patrol car with his body inside is now facing an additional federal sentence of life in prison. The sentence was handed down Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Nashville for Steven Wiggins. Last August, a jury sentenced Wiggins to death in state court in the May 2018 killing of Dickson County Sheriff’s Sgt. Daniel Baker. The federal government had been seeking the death penalty as well. U.S. Attorney Mark Wildasin's office says Wiggins pleaded guilty last month under a plea deal including a life sentence to the federal charges. The federal sentence doesn’t change the state death sentence. The grisly slaying set off a two-day manhunt.

It was never in doubt, was it? Sheffield Wednesday showed bags of character and spirit to fight back and beat relegation-haunted Fleetwood Town 3-2 in a thrilling clash at Highbury Stadium last night. A superb Lee Gregory hat-trick ensured the Owls returned to winning ways. The result leaves them in prime position to finish in the League One play-offs. Wednesday are in fourth place on 82 points, one ahead of Sunderland in fifth, two ahead of Plymouth Argyle in sixth position, and two in front of seventh-placed Wycombe. But they are not guaranteed a spot in the play-offs just yet. As Darren Moore was keen to stress after the Fleetwood thriller, there is still a job to be completed. Read more: Fleetwood 2 Owls 3 highlights Moore said: "Going into the final game of the season at home, we know there is a lot of work to do. We are not patting ourselves on the back. We have worked extremely hard to get to this point in the season. "We still have a massive test ahead of us on Saturday. Portsmouth are a team that are capable and will come to enjoy the day. We have got to make sure we apply ourselves right and it will be another big test for us at Hillsborough." It is in Wednesday's hands. A win over Pompey will seal fourth place and guarantee they would be at home in the second leg of the play-off semi-finals. If the Owls draw on the final day, a point could be enough depending on results elsewhere. They would be relying on Sunderland, Plymouth and Wycombe dropping points. The Black Cats and the Chairboys travel to Morecambe and Burton Albion respectively while the Pilgrims entertain automatic promotion hopefuls Milton Keynes Dons. Sunderland missed the chance to secure a top-six finish after drawing 1-1 with Rotherham United yesterday. The stakes are high and there are four teams battling it out for three spots. There will be more twists and turns to come this weekend. If Wednesday fail to win against Pompey, they could drop out of the top six if Sunderland, Plymouth and Wycombe better their result. The Owls, Sunderland and Plymouth have identical goal difference (+25). Wycombe's is +23. The League One play-off race: 4th Sheffield Wednesday P 45 Pts 82 GD +25 Saturday 30th: Portsmouth (H) 5th Sunderland P 45 Pts 81 GD +25 Saturday 30th: Morecambe (A) 6th Plymouth P 45 Pts 80 GD +25 Saturday 30th: MK Dons (H) 7th Wycombe Wanderers P 45 Pts 80 GD +23 Saturday 30th: Burton Albion (A)

BEIJING (AP) — Drone company DJI Technology Co has temporarily suspended business activities in Russia and Ukraine to prevent use of its drones in combat, in a rare case of a Chinese company pulling out of Russia because of the war. “DJI is internally reassessing compliance requirements in various jurisdictions. Pending the current review, DJI will temporarily suspend all business activities in Russia and Ukraine,” the company said in a statement released Tuesday. Many Western brands and companies have withdrawn from the Russian market due to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, but Chinese firms have kept operating there. Beijing has refrained from publicly criticizing Russia over the war. Both Ukraine and Russia are thought to be using DJI drones in combat, even though the company maintains that its products are intended for civilian use. Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykhailo Federov wrote an open letter last month appealing to DJI to block sales of its drones in Russia, contending that Russian troops were using “DJI products in Ukraine in order to navigate their missiles to kill civilians." The AeroScope system installed in DJI drones allows the detection and monitoring of other drones and their operators in the vicinity via special receivers. The worry is that Russians might be using the AeroScope system to attack Ukraine drone pilots. DJI has rejected claims that it leaked data on Ukraine’s military positions to Russia, after German retailer Mediamarkt cited Russia’s use of DJI drones in the war as a reason it removed the company's products from its shelves. Last week, DJI said in a statement that its drones are not marketed or sold for military use. It said it “unequivocally opposed attempts to attach weapons” to its products. “We will never accept any use of our products to cause harm, and we will continue striving to improve the world with our work,” the company said. Another Chinese business, ride hailing company Didi Global, reversed a decision to withdraw from Russia after it was blasted by members of the Chinese public for bowing to pressure from the West.

Common virus may be linked to mystery liver disease outbreak LONDON (AP) — British health officials investigating the cause of a spike in acute hepatitis, or liver inflammation, among children said there is increasing evidence that it is linked to a common virus. The U.K. Health Security Agency has recorded 111 cases of unexplained hepatitis in children under 10 since January. Ten of the children needed liver transplants. The U.N. health agency said it has so far received reports of at least 169 cases of “acute hepatitis of unknown origin,” and that one death had been reported. While it isn’t clear what’s causing the illnesses, a leading suspect is adenovirus, which was detected in 75% of the confirmed cases tested, the U.K. agency said in statement Monday. Adenovirus, a common group of viruses, is now circulating in children at higher than average levels after dropping to unusually low levels during the pandemic. One avenue of inquiry being explored is that the outbreak may be linked to a surge in common viral infections after COVID-19 restrictions were phased out. Children who weren’t exposed to adenovirus over the last two years may now be getting hit harder when they are exposed to the viruses. “Information gathered through our investigations increasingly suggests that this rise in sudden onset hepatitis in children is linked to adenovirus infection,’’ said Dr. Meera Chand, director of clinical and emerging infections at UKHSA. “However, we are thoroughly investigating other potential causes.” Chand presented the British data Monday during an emergency session of the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases in Lisbon. The usual viruses that cause infectious liver inflammation -- hepatitis A to E -- weren’t detected in any of the 111 cases being investigated in the U.K. The victims suffered symptoms such as jaundice, diarrhea and abdominal pain. The liver processes nutrients, filters the blood and fights infections. Hepatitis can be life-threatening if left untreated. There are dozens of adenoviruses, many associated with cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat and pink eye. U.S. authorities said earlier this month that they were investigating a cluster of otherwise unexplained hepatitis cases diagnosed in nine Alabama children who also tested positive for adenovirus. Officials there are exploring a link to one particular version — adenovirus 41 — that’s normally associated with gut inflammation. U.K. public health officials have ruled out any links to COVID-19 vaccines, saying none of the affected children was vaccinated. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Millions of Americans are returning to the office this spring for the first time in two years. That means it may be time to update the wardrobe. But with inflation up, and the stock market down, many people don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on new clothing. Linda Swain needs to upgrade from leggings now that she's no longer working from home, but she's not worried about breaking the bank. That's becuase she's buying her clothing used at Goodwill. That's right: Goodwill. "I look fabulous, and I feel fabulous," she said. "I save a whole bunch, a lot, hundreds of dollars." It can be frightening to think about the cost of dressing for the office: If one outfit can cost $100 or more, buying enough clothing for 5 days a week can cost you $600 or $700. Goodwill's Michael Flannery said "I wear a dress shirt and khaki pants. If I were to buy these at a store or online, they would cost me $50 a piece." But Sharon Hannon says their resale shops can outfit you for just a fraction of that. "At Goodwill we have such a vast array for fashions that are available," she said. "Everything from business suits to little black dresses." She showed several designers dresses they had, in popular sizes, for $7.99. As in seven dollars, not seven hundred. They even offer slightly used men's sport coats for less than $10 each. Upscale clothing for less But if Goodwill is not really your thing, or you simply want some help putting together a coordinating outfit, you may want to check out a clothing consignment shop. Donna Speigel, is owner of the Snooty Fox consignment chain, where she sells top quality designer names at one third the price. She says her trained sales people will make putting an outfit together less intimidating. "We can really supply the clothing, the handbag, the accessories,everything you need to go out and look your best ad look professional," Speigel said. For shoppers like Faye Whitlock, second hand is anything but second best. "I buy shorts, I buy skirts, I buy tops, I buy everything," she said. And that way you don't waste your money. ________________ Don't Waste Your Money" is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc. ("Scripps").

What’s Putin’s Next Move? Look to Syria Russia has learned some dangerous lessons from the West’s inaction in the past. Here’s how to avoid a grimmer tragedy in Ukraine. As shocking as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was, no one could say it came without warning. Troops had been building up along the border for months. And long before that, Russia had been sending signals for years — not just in Eastern Ukraine, but in Georgia, Crimea and — especially, with the world watching, in Syria, where Russian actions were met with impunity, even indifference. Today, the global community is galvanized in support of Ukraine. A formidable wave of Western sanctions have crippled Russia’s economy. Billions of dollars of state-of-the-art Western weaponry have been dispatched to enhance and reinforce Ukraine’s defense. With thousands killed and many more wounded, and having sustained staggering losses in equipment (including more than 550 tanks, over 1,100 armored vehicles and at least 110 aircraft), Russia’s initial military objectives have been comprehensively defeated. Russia has not faced such a resolute wall of opposition since the height of the Cold War. The U.S. and its Western allies deserve credit for this. But we should also acknowledge that Russia felt empowered to invade Ukraine in the first place, and that the invasion has displaced 11 million civilians, killed thousands and left large parts of Ukraine in rubble. For years, the international community’s response to Russian aggression was meek, at best. The path to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been paved in large part by our own inaction. The conflict is far from over, and Vladimir Putin’s ambitions are far from slaked. As the West considers how to contain Russia, and how to counter the next offensive, we need to understand the signals Russia has already sent and draw the most useful lessons we can from its tragic, deadly seven-years-long engagement in Syria. 1. This isn’t the whole war. Ukraine’s conflict now appears to be entering a new phase. While our unified front with Ukraine may have won the first bout, we must not get ahead of ourselves. Ultimately, what we have witnessed play out so far is likely to have been merely the opening salvo of what could be — or in fact, already has been — a long-running war in which the Kremlin may still have a winning hand. Syria illustrates the extent to which the Kremlin can adapt in the face of adversity — and play a long game. Just like Russia’s most recent push in Ukraine, the initial phase of Russia’s military intervention in Syria hit big obstacles. Under the leadership of General Aleksandr Dvornikov, Russia initially intervened in Syria from the air, embarking on a brutal air campaign against Syrian opposition forces that had threatened the very survival of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. With its jets bombing incessantly from the sky, the Kremlin hoped Syrian regime forces would turn the tide on the ground, but that didn’t work. Syrian ground forces proved largely incapable of taking advantage of their newfound Russian air support. Ultimately, a multi-front conflict across Syria proved untenable and Russia was forced to adapt. Dvornikov, who is now commanding Russian forces in Ukraine and is known by some as the Butcher of Syria, is part of the military old guard, with a penchant for ruthless tactics more in line with medieval times than the 21st century. And yet beyond his proclivity for indiscriminate bombing and siege warfare, Dvornikov also proved resilient and adaptable. One such adaptation was to seek additional ground force partners, beyond the decrepit, corrupt and largely incompetent Syrian military. Not long into its intervention, Russia began deploying small units of Spetsnaz special forces onto frontlines. They largely partnered not with Syrians, but with Lebanese Hezbollah, which had developed a reputation for being an effective offensive force in earlier years of Syria’s crisis. When Spetsnaz troops cycled out of Syria, some returned to Russia bearing tattoos of Shia iconography as a reminder of their Hezbollah “blood brothers,” as one former Russian military intelligence officer told me at the time. Over a more extended period, Russia also began restructuring Syria’s military from the ground up, forcing through minister and directorate-level reshuffles and establishing entirely new units. Russian private military contractors with close links to the Kremlin were deployed into Syria, both to fight on the frontline and to train Syrian forces, some of whom also began to fly regularly to Russia for specialized training. 2. Russia knows the West can lose focus With regards to the actual conflict in Syria, aware that the West was distracted by ISIS, fatigued by the regime-opposition conflict and convinced that Syria would soon become a Russian “quagmire,” Moscow pivoted in 2016 and 2017. While its planes continued to bomb civilians from the sky, Russian diplomats began to align behind prevailing U.N. terminology by embracing rhetoric framed around “de-escalation.” Russia’s sudden and sustained endorsement of “de-escalation” saw it become arguably the most instrumental actor behind the international community’s division of Syria’s most conflict-ridden theaters into “de-escalation zones.” To the international community, the prospect for calm after years of bloody chaos, as well the purported guarantee of an influx of humanitarian aid into areas beset by years of intense conflict was an attractive proposition. Consequently, Russia’s proposal was welcomed with open arms. In fact, the U.S. was directly involved in negotiating one of the four de-escalation zones in Syria’s south — even in the knowledge that doing so would likely end up forcing our own Syrian partners to surrender territory to the regime. As was inevitable, and as most Syrians and many analysts feared, the de-escalation zone scheme was merely a ploy to free up time and space, to allow Syria’s regime and its Russian and Iranian partners to recapture one zone at a time. Three of the four zones were subsequently besieged, shelled into rubble and conquered via mass surrenders in 2018. In southern Syria, where Washington was a “guarantor” to the de-escalation agreement, we cut-off our yearslong partners and told them not to fight and accept surrender instead. The fourth de-escalation zone in Idlib still stands today, due only to Turkey’s significant military investment in defending it from regime assault. The international community’s limited bandwidth and attention span, and its predilection for anything that purports to reduce conflict also saw us welcome unilateral Russian ceasefires, “cessations of hostilities,” humanitarian “windows” and “corridors,” localized “reconciliation” processes and diplomatic initiatives like the U.N.-convened Constitutional Committee, all of which have proved to be ruses designed simply to buy time and to divide and conquer. Russia was also brought into a U.N. “deconfliction” mechanism in which governments directly involved in Syria were provided the precise coordinates of dozens of hospitals in opposition areas, to ensure they were protected from military actions. The Russian military used those coordinates to bomb hospitals and pediatric clinics, one by one. And when the U.N. was forced to launch an inquiry into the bombings, Secretary General António Guterres repeatedly succumbed to Russian pressure to delay, and ultimately, Russia’s involvement in the bombings was never even mentioned in the limited public summary. 3. Putin knows the West is risk-averse So despite all of this, Russia faced no consequences — not a single sanction. Beyond the perceived impunity, we must also learn from two inter-linked lessons: that Russia cannot be shamed into concessions and that a perception of impunity serves only to fuel more aggression. Few crimes in Syria have revealed Russia’s geopolitical complicity more than Assad’s use of chemical weapons in at least 340 chemical attacks since 2012. When at least 1,400 civilians were murdered in Eastern Ghouta, in a Sarin nerve gas attack within eyesight of Assad’s presidential palace in August 2013, it was a Russian diplomatic olive branch that persuaded President Barack Obama not to conduct a punitive response. That offer, to facilitate the removal and destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile was a deft distraction — and the Obama administration fell for it. In the years that followed, the Assad regime has been implicated in more than 300 chemical attacks, including further use of Sarin. That Obama later said that he was “very proud” of his decision not to strike Syria after the 2013 attack in Eastern Ghouta underlines just how detached retrospective thinking has been to the reality of what followed in Syria. Make no mistake, Russia learns its own lessons from chapters like this, in which Western risk aversion trumps any enforcement of basic norms. What this means for Ukraine At the end of the day, Russia is acutely aware of the West’s consistent record for limited bandwidth, short attention spans and risk aversion. Given the relative success of our policy of assistance to Ukraine so far, the widespread perception of self-confidence and recent talk of ‘winning’ that has developed may gradually give way to negligence and shorten our window of attention yet further. Ultimately, this is a war in Russia’s backyard, not ours. It is Moscow playing the long game here, not us, for this was a war that began eight years ago, not in February 2022. Will policymakers in Washington be as laser focused on Ukraine and the micro dynamics of frontline conflicts in six months’ time as they are today? Unlikely. Russia’s adaptations in Ukraine could take many forms and most will be hard to predict. The Kremlin will likely fall back to deploying heavier contingents of Russian and perhaps even foreign mercenaries as holding forces. But most significantly, Russia will seek to freeze non-urgent frontlines and concentrate resources where the most priority lies. Moscow may also seek to precipitate conflict in unexpected places like the breakaway region of Transnistria to distract and generate new uncertainty. Should Ukraine successfully defend and force even greater Russian losses, expect Moscow to begin talking of localized ceasefires — but these will be violated, sown with ambiguity and disinformation, and used first to allow time to regroup and then as a pretext to re-escalate. Should Russia successfully consolidate an expanded contiguous control in Donbas, its ability to invest in an offensive campaign on one frontline at a time will be enhanced significantly. As attractive as any future call for de-escalation may appear, we must be acutely wary of Russian intentions and not repeat mistakes made in Syria. Assuming the conflict is set to continue, at least for months if not at lower levels for years, we should already be publicly signaling what our goals are in Ukraine. Ambiguity on our side benefits Russia far more than it does Ukraine. By pivoting to a more methodical piecemeal campaign, potentially interspersed with “ceasefires” and operational pauses, Russia’s capacity to drag the conflict out will improve — placing the pressure on the West to sustain an extremely expensive and resource intensive assistance program to Ukraine. In just two months, the U.S. has already depleted its Javelin stockpile by 33%, and Stingers by 25%. Without an enormous federal surge in investment in weapons production, it will take years to recoup what has been provided to Ukraine and in an age of great power competition, that is a supremely dangerous position to be in. In fact, Raytheon, the manufacturer of Stingers, will be unable to make any new systems until “at least 2023” due to a lack of parts and material, with Javelin production facing a similar timeline. Speaking of great power competition, the U.S. must also acknowledge that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine came within an age of impunity that resulted from years of unchallenged authoritarianism and criminal aggression. Redrawing red lines and reinforcing global norms will require bold assertive action, risk taking and long-term consistency and as of today, everything hinges on Ukraine. For Putin, whose domestic standing appears to be in a much better place than prevailing wisdom would suggest in Washington or London, continuing to move forward is the only option.

Covid: Discharging hospital patients to care homes 'unlawful' - Published Government policies on discharging patients from hospital to care homes at the start of the Covid pandemic have been ruled unlawful by the High Court. The ruling comes after two women took the government to court, saying Covid patients were discharged from hospitals back to care homes without testing. Dr Cathy Gardner and Fay Harris, whose fathers died, said it caused a "shocking death toll" of residents. The government had said it "worked tirelessly" to protect the public. 'Growing transmission awareness' The women said key policies of discharging patients from hospitals into care homes were implemented with no testing and no suitable isolation arrangements in the homes. The High Court said the policies failed to take into account the risk to elderly and vulnerable residents from non-symptomatic transmission of the virus. The women partially succeeded in claims against the health secretary and Public Health England. In their ruling, Lord Justice Bean and Mr Justice Garnham concluded that, despite there being "growing awareness" of the risk of asymptomatic transmission throughout March 2020, there was no evidence that then Health Secretary Matt Hancock addressed the issue of the risk to care home residents of such transmission. However, the judges rejected other claims made under human rights legislation, and against NHS England. Before the ruling was announced the government had said: "Every death is a tragedy and we worked tirelessly to protect the public from the threat to life and health posed by the pandemic and specifically sought to safeguard care homes and their residents." - 19 November 2020 - 12 June 2020

In a recent study by 247 Blinds polling 2,000 Brits, one in three were found to have a side hustle. Of those that don’t, 38 percent said they have considered starting one since the start of the pandemic two years ago. To help support this ‘side hustle’ culture, 247 Blinds is offering three lucky people the chance to earn £1,000 simply by displaying advertising in their homes. Three applicants will get paid to use their window as advertising space for 247 Blinds by demonstrating the world's first 'at home billboard'. What does the job role look like? Applicants will be asked to display a roller blind which will feature the 247 Blinds logo on the back of the blind, enabling passers by to see the ‘billboard blind’ from the street. Three successful applicants will need to have their blinds roller down for a minimum of 12 hours a day over four weeks. It really is that simple! How to apply In order to apply, you must be willing to display the roller blind billboard for the required amount of days. You can apply here until May 24 when applications close.

Highpoint students explore possibilities at annual Teen Summit Leave a commentApril 25, 2022 by HCDE-Texas Self-empowerment was the focus of last week’s Teen Summit at Highpoint School East. “One of the things that we wanted to do this year is bring in people who have stories similar to those of our students,” said Principal Courtney Waters. “We have presenters who have either been in alternative education programs, been in jail, or have rap sheets, and are now successful adults. Being able to share those stories with our kids, in my opinion, gives them a different perspective on their future.” The summit featured 15 different presenters who held discussions with students about financial literacy, physical and mental wellbeing, entrepreneurship, and decision-making. Students heard from former Highpoint student Marc Young who is now an air conditioning technology professor at San Jacinto College. Students also learned about the music industry from Lafayette Taylor with 1 Soundvibe Studios, a local recording studio. “I see that there are people out there who want to see me do better who have also been through similar things when they were children,” said ninth-grade Channelview High School student Tristan Smith. One presenter who resonated with students was Meredith James, a former troubled youth with an extensive criminal history. After turning her life around, James now owns her own business and works as a chemical dependency counselor, anger resolution therapist, and motivational speaker. “The biggest reason we do the Teen Summit is always exposure,” said Waters. “We want to provide opportunities and make our kids aware of other possibilities.”

One of the most popular features in kitchen design today is the glass rinser. This low-profile appliance sits on a countertop and shoots a high-pressure stream of water as you press a glass down onto it. You may have seen this appliance in bars or next to commercial espresso makers. But now you can install one in your kitchen sink too. It is an efficient way to rinse your cups and bottles and is very simple to use. For a versatile glass rinser that will clean wine glasses and coffee mugs alike, Delta Faucet Glass Rinser for Kitchen Sinks is a top choice. What to know before you buy a glass rinser Uses Kitchen glass rinsers, or cup washers, rapidly rinse your drinkware when you press a glass upside-down onto the water trigger. This activates a high-pressure jet spray that rinses and breaks down residue and stains in your drinkware. It’s perfect for wine glasses, reusable water bottles, smoothie cups, travel mugs and baby bottles. Keep in mind that glass rinsers primarily rinse drinkware, but they don’t clean it. If you want to boost your rinse, some users add a little dish soap to their glass before activating the water jets. Others use a glass rinser as a pre-rinse before putting drinkware in the dishwasher. Size and diameter Glass rinsers don’t take up too much space. However, make sure to consider the general diameter of your drinkware in order to find the right size for your glasses. Glass rinsers typically accommodate vessel openings approximately between 1 and 4 inches, though this measurement can vary depending on the manufacturer. Additionally, check the dimensions of the glass rinser itself to ensure you have enough space for it. Installation Glass rinsers require some assembly and installation. You will also need to have a hole by your faucet for the hose. Make sure the hole is far enough away from your faucet and has enough space to fit the appliance. Double-check to see if there’s enough height clearance to fit a glass. You can hook up your glass rinser to the hot or cold line. If you’re not particularly handy, you may need to hire a professional to help you connect your water supply since this process requires tools and some plumbing skills. What to look for in a quality glass rinser Finish Most manufacturers make glass rinsers from plastic or metal. For most users, the material doesn’t matter as much as the look of the finish. Select a finish that matches or complements your kitchen faucet or appliances. Finishes include stainless steel, chrome, gold, bronze, nickel and matte black. Drainage Glass rinsers drain directly into your sink through a lip in the rinser. Ensure the lip is flush with the edge of your sink — or it can slightly hang over the edge — so the water flows directly into the sink. Commercial glass rinsers often have a built-in collection reservoir or tray, which eliminates the need for a drainage lip. Performance Removing residue from narrow drinkware can be difficult, so you want a glass rinser with a powerful jet stream. The best way to determine the effectiveness of a glass rinser is to read reviews and product details. How much you can expect to spend on a glass rinser Glass rinsers have a wide price range and vary in cost based on the brand, installation method and additional features. Expect to spend between $50-$230 on a residential glass rinser. Glass rinser FAQ Can I use my kitchen sprayer to remove stubborn residue on my glasses instead? A. If you have a powerful kitchen sprayer, you may not need a glass rinser. However, glass rinsers offer splash-free rinsing. Plus, the force of gravity helps to keep residue from settling back on your glass. What are some other uses for a glass rinser? A. If it fits, glass rinsers are great for cleaning vases. Vases often collect residue and plant matter over time, which can be hard to clean if they’re narrow. You can rinse pretty much any vessel that fits on a glass rinser.

New York has never been much of a leader in conducting easy, efficient elections, but there are a few ways that this year’s June 28 primaries will finally be a little simpler for voters — timely, as parties make their picks for big races like governor, lieutenant governor, and Congress. There is now an online statewide tracker that will allow New York voters to check the status of their absentee ballots, so they can be assured their mailed-in vote reached its destination. This is the same portal where they can check their poll sites — voterlookup.elections.ny.gov. The tool even alerts you about fixable problems with absentee ballots, like a missing signature. Many states have offered this kind of monitoring for years so it’s a nice if overdue change in an era when you can follow online every step of a toothpaste shipment. You can request an absentee application now at absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov. You can also start the process by mail, fax, or in person at your county election board. It won’t be sent your way yet, though — not all candidates seeking to run are yet certified. COVID-19 remains a valid reason for voting absentee. If you are issued an absentee ballot, though, it’s crucial to remember that you can no longer change your mind and vote on a machine in person on Election Day. That’s due to a change in state law made last year, part of an effort to speed up the vote count. Election officials will now start processing absentees as they arrive, so many of those ballots will be ready for counting on Election Day. Hopefully, that will help speed the counting process in some races that aren’t exceptionally close. Recently added rules letting people fix small absentee mistakes early could save time by preventing challenges later. And don’t worry. Even if you are issued an absentee but change your mind and want to vote in person, you can register your preference with an “affidavit” ballot, which will be reviewed for validity later. Another plus: There will be more early voting sites and some expansion of early voting hours, although the exact details aren’t finalized. Albany has made other election process revisions in recent years in the interest of fairness, including changes to the way candidates and parties can play technical games at various points, strategically challenging absentee votes for inane reasons. It’s past time that New York moves beyond antiquated, Byzantine election laws that were designed to protect the parties in power. This year and its big races will be a key test to see whether election boards can digest all the changes and run smooth elections, but perhaps we are beginning to get with modernity. — Newsday

A family has finally managed to get compensation after a much-loved husband and father died following sub-standard care while in hospital in 2017. David Cove passed away in late 2017 after Grimsby's Diana Princess of Wales Hospital run by Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust failed to consider that Mr Cove had a pulmonary embolism. Mr Cove had visited his GP in June 2017 after suffering breathing difficulties and coughing up flecks of blood. An electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed by his GP which showed atrial flutter. Mr Cove’s GP attempted to refer him to the on-call physicians for emergency admission at the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital but was unable to make contact after being on hold for more than 30 minutes. Mr Cove was sent to the A&E department for emergency admission via ambulance with a referral letter for the on call Medical Team. Read more: Girls praised for rushing to help man injured having seizure in Hull street But upon arrival at the the hospital, Mr Cove was not met with medical team, and they were unaware of his arrival. Instead he was triaged in the A&E department, where his observations were noted to be low. An ECG was then arranged and the results were classed as abnormal. The locum doctor who then reviewed Mr Cove failed to obtain a complete medical history, particularly that he had haemoptysis - coughing up blood. A further X-ray was then taken where abnormal findings were made and he was diagnosed with viral or infective exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Despite the abnormal observations, Mr Cove was sent home with antibiotics. The following day, Mr Cove, from Binbrook, complained of breathing difficulties and his wife, who left the room to get his inhaler, came back to see her husband collapsed on the floor. She rang an ambulance, but sadly he was pronounced dead on arrival. An internal investigation conducted by NLaG identified root causes which contributed to the sad demise of Mr Cove, including the inability to contact the on-call team at the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital. His family have now received compensation. A Coroner's inquest ruled that his death was caused by a massive bilateral pulmonary embolism and cardiomyopathy. Speaking about the loss of his father and the investigation Dean Cove, David's son, said: "When I took the call from my mother, I was devastated but not totally surprised as my mother had mentioned that he was seeing his GP for a health condition and had been given a letter to take to a hospital in Lincolnshire. I was living in London at the time. What is a Binary Pulmonary Embolism and cardiomyopathy? Binary Pulmonary Embolism - "When a blood clot gets caught in one of the arteries that go from the heart to the lungs, it's called a pulmonary embolism (PE). The clot blocks the normal flow of blood. This blockage can cause serious problems, like damage to your lungs and low oxygen levels in your blood" - NHS England Cardiomyopathy - A general term for diseases of the heart muscle, where the walls of the heart chambers have become stretched, thickened or stiff. This affects the heart's ability to pump blood around the body. - NHS England "My mother mentioned that my father had only briefly been seen by a locum [temporary] doctor when my late father's GP did ask for him to be kept in the hospital overnight for observation and treatment. He was sent home against the advice of the GP." After being told of his father's death, Dean said it was an incredibly difficult moment for him and his family. "Shock was the immediate reaction and an overwhelming feeling of sadness and despair when I was told he'd died. "On the last few times I had seen my father I had travelled up to see him and my mother in Lincolnshire. Before his death, he spoke to me and said that he would very much like to see me more often and we spoke of future short breaks together with both my family and himself and my mother." He added: "My father was a very intelligent person, he could do anything. He was good with finances and very skilled as a tradesman also, having ran his own company before retiring. He liked to watch TV, music, gardening, play games and travel whenever possible. In my opinion my father was one of those people that was good at almost anything he put his hand to. " The family contacted Hodge Jones & Allen to assist them to identify and understand the shortcomings in the care that was provided to Mr Cove by the Trust. It was found that there was a failure to consider that Mr Cove had a pulmonary embolism. Had this been recognised and treated, Mr Cove would have received treatment in the form of anticoagulants which would have avoided the fatal pulmonary embolism which led to his sudden death. Dean added: "It is heart-breaking to know that my father’s death could have been avoided had his healthcare been provided with greater attention and detail. I miss my father greatly, he was taken from us far too soon, and no settlement can bring him back. However, I hope that this settlement will encourage the NHS to put in place better procedures for the continuity of care. I hope lessons are swiftly learnt so no other family has to suffer due to these types of failings by medical professionals." Sonia Rani, Solicitor at Hodge Jones & Allen said: “In this sad case there was a clear failure to obtain the deceased’s proper medical history in A&E, which unfortunately led to the failure to diagnose a pulmonary embolism. We must continue to hold our health providers to higher standards and work to prevent such tragedies. If handled differently, staff at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby could have avoided Mr Cove’s premature death. "We are glad that we were able to work in collaboration with the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to secure a settlement for Mr Cove’s family which recognises the impact of his death. However, no amount of compensation can make up for the tragedy of his death. Lessons must be learnt, vital information must be shared between clinicians to avoid, potentially, easily preventable deaths in the future.” Peter Reading, Chief Executive, at Northern Lincolnshire NHS Foundation Trust said: “I would like to extend my sincere apologies and my deepest condolences to the family of the late Mr Cove for the errors in the care he received at Grimsby hospital in 2017. We accepted liability for this at the earliest opportunity and apologised to the family at the time.”

When Matthew Klebes first came to The Dalles eight years ago, he never intended to stay. Klebes’ arrival in The Dalles was with his work. He was with AmeriCorps Resource Assistance for Rural Environments, preparing to be part of a program that was set to last less than a year. “I came to The Dalles expecting to be here over (a period of) 11 months,” Klebes said. “And here I am, eight years later, with a house and two kids and getting ready to take the city manager position and everything. I had no idea coming in that was going to happen.” With AmeriCorps, Klebes was a volunteer with The City of The Dalles, working to establish a local branch of Main Street. Klebes was working out of the chamber of commerce, helping to grow and strengthen the organization so they could move into their own building. “We built a volunteer base and revenue stream and grew the organization that way,” he said. “And a lot of the work that I did at Main Street was in partnership with the city.” At the end of Klebes’ 11 months working with AmeriCorp, Main Street hired him on to continue working to grow the organization. He was the first official staff member they were able to have. “There had been volunteers who had been talking about it and trying to get the Main Street program going,” Klebes said. “And they had some of the pieces coming together, but they needed a staff person to do that work and answer the phone, have the lights on, just those basic things.” After his transition into working for Main Street as an official full-time job, he stayed there for two years, before taking a job with the city, as the assistant to the city manager. There, Klebes worked closely with current city manager Julie Krueger. “One of the things I liked about Main Street … is that I worked with a lot of business owners, property owners, restaurant owners, retail owners, breweries,” Klebes said. “You get to kind of learn about and dive into all these different worlds, the world of a brewer, the world of a restaurant, the world of a property owner, and you get to have conversations with them. You learn what their challenges are, their opportunities are, and then take a step back and see how that aligns with all the other entities, and where Main Street can help.” Klebes said this kind of approach was useful in his new position as assistant to the city manager, and that there was quite a bit of overlap. “At the city, it’s kind of similar, where you have public works, planning, airport, police department, and then you have your department head in each of those areas, the specialists,” he said. “We get to work with them and learn about the same thing: their challenges, their opportunities. And as city manager, you have to step back and figure out okay, where’s our overlap? Where’s their alignment? How can I support each one of these individuals and their departments and staff?” Klebes said he enjoyed his time working with the city manager, as he worked with the city for about three years. He said he was able to work with a variety of people and groups. He was also able to work on special projects for the city manager. One of his special projects was a “Local Government Academy,” which strived to increase transparency in local government and help teach residents about the city and what it does and doesn’t do. “Ultimately, the hope was that we would have graduates from the academy that volunteer to serve on different city committees and commissions, because they now have a better understanding of their own local government, and they feel more comfortable or confident with it,” he said. Though the Local Government Academy was put on pause with COVID, Klebes said it was a project he was proud to be a part of. He said there are hopes to return some time in the future, likely with one class a year, rather than the two they did before. After three years with the city, Klebes moved to working as the Wasco County Administrative Services Director, which is the position he currently holds and will be transitioning out of as he switches to his new role as city manager. As administrative services director, Klebes said he was able to work with the county and develop a better understanding of how the county operates, how it interplays with the state, and how that affects cities. In some ways, Klebes said, this prepared him for the city manager role in a different way, as he now has an understanding of what happens at the county level. Klebes said he’s excited to take on this new position as city manager, and to return to the city to continue the work that he’s been doing. “I’ve been really lucky and pleased with this progression that I’ve had, working and focusing in the downtown core. We’re stepping back a little bit more and working across the city, stepping back even a little bit more and working with the county,” Klebes said. “And so the opportunity to stay in this community, continue to do that work and continue to build upon that, well, it’s hard to pass that up.” The city council officially approved Klebes’ contract at the regular city council meeting on April 11. Klebes will start his new position as city manager on May 16.

About 54% of households not saving enough for retirement, MPs told More than half of households are not saving enough to maintain their living standards in retirement, a committee of MPs has heard. Giving evidence to the Work and Pensions Committee about where automatic enrolment into workplace pensions needs to improve, Phil Brown, director of policy for B&CE, provider of the People’s Pension, said: “Pension adequacy… is something we’re still aspiring to at the moment… “The research we’re doing with the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI)… demonstrates that more than half of the population of Great Britain will actually not achieve the adequacy rate set by the Pension Commission.” Away from the hearing, B&CE released initial research findings from the PPI and itself, indicating that 54% of households were not saving enough to meet rates set by the Pension Commission in 2004. It said data from the Wealth and Assets Survey was used for the calculations. B&CE added that even taking additional assets and housing into account, its initial findings suggest more than a third of households would still not be on track to maintain their living standards. Full details of the findings will be published this summer. Currently, the minimum that can be contributed into workplace pensions is 8% of eligible earnings. Contributions include staff and employer contributions and tax relief. But the minimum is unlikely to be enough for many people to enjoy a comfortable retirement. MPs heard more than half of households are not saving enough to maintain their living standards in retirement (PA) Asked by the Work and Pensions Committee how savings rates could be increased above 8% in the near future, Mr Brown told the hearing: “I think that’s a really, really important point… “In a cost-of-living crisis, it doesn’t feel like the right time to be increasing contributions and lots of care is needed with low earners… “There remains consensus that the figures aren’t right at the moment, they need increasing. “We probably need to build more evidence about what the increase rate should be. “But most of all we need a trigger for when it’s right to implement it… Now would not land well with those on lower earnings.” Speaking about pensions advice and guidance, Mr Brown told MPs: “When it comes to actually retiring, we expect (people) to be part financial adviser, part economist, part fund manager, probably part doctor – and they probably need a crystal ball as well. “And most people don’t have that unique set of skills. To plug that gap I would say that providers of pensions need to be able to give more guidance than they do today.” Will Sandbrook, managing director for strategy, analytics and Nest Insight at pensions provider Nest, told the hearing: “We need to make some more progress in understanding what a good outcome in retirement looks like for people relative to their working age situation.” He later told MPs: “When we think about what’s the right level of contribution for people for their retirement, we can’t just think about the impact in retirement, we have to think about: Are people better off as a whole, through their working age and into retirement?” He also told the hearing that the current workplace pensions system is “very binary”, as staff who do not make the minimum pension contributions also give up the right to receiving pension contributions from their employer. Joanne Segars, chair of the board of trustees at NOW: Pensions, told the hearing: “It is about having that informed debate about what the right level of contributions is.”

Elevator-maker Kone Q1 profit misses forecast, order intake rises HELSINKI, April 27 (Reuters) - Elevator-maker Kone posted weaker-than-expected first-quarter core earnings on Wednesday and trimmed its full-year outlook, hit by supply chain constraints and a decline in its China business even as overall order intake increased. January-March operating profit fell to 171.1 million euros ($181.6 million) from 249.8 million euros a year earlier, missing the 225.8 million euro estimate of ten analysts polled by Refinitiv. Kone's order intake rose to 2.42 billion euros in the first quarter from 2.08 billion a year ago. The company's share price rose by 1.9% at 1001 GMT, outperforming a 1.3% rise in Finland's benchmark stock index . "As sanctions imposed on Russia and COVID-19 related restrictions in China intensify the strain on global supply chains, taking further actions to clearly improve our margins remains our top priority," Chief Executive Henrik Ehrnrooth said in a statement. "Based on the progress we have made, I am confident that we can overcome these headwinds," he added. Kone now expects revenue to grow by between 2% and 5% this year, down from an earlier projection of 2-7%, while adjusted operating income is seen in the range of 1.18 billion-1.28 billion euros against 1.18 billion-1.33 billion seen earlier.

Nordmin as QP utilized 2-year trailing average metal price assumptions[1] for the updated mineral resource as a basis for the Preliminary Economic Assessment reported on December 1, 2021 and filed January 12, 2022. The Company announced a comprehensive mine plan and cashflow model for both the Escape Deposit and Current Deposit as part of a PEA for the Current and Escape PGE-Cu-Ni Deposits of the Thunder Bay North Project on December 1, 2021. The related Technical Report was filed on SEDAR on January 12, 2022 https://cleanairmetals.ca/site/assets/files/5750/21015-01-pfs-0000_ni_43_101_pea_12jan2022.pdf Table 1: New Insitu Assay Results Update – Escape South Sail-Zone Extension (Figure 1) Abraham Drost, CEO of Clean Air Metals stated that "recent infill drilling on the margins of the Escape South HGZ continues to deliver impressive assay results. Under the results of the recent PEA press release, the Escape South HGZ (>5g/t Pt+Pd) is identified as a high value potential mining area at the base of the Escape Deposit in years commencing in Year 4 of the PEA mine plan, pursuant to the recently delivered PEA technical report (filed January 12, 2022). The approximately 37,000m of previously reported drilling results from the Escape Deposit in 2021 and infill drilling on the PEA mine plan in 2022 will form part of an updated mineral resource for the Thunder Bay North Project to support prefeasibility studies. Assay results to date suggest good continuity of mineralization between sections along the 900m trend of mineralization between the Escape South HGZ and Escape North Zone where the PEA Escape deposit underground ramp development encounters the Escape Deposit pay zone at approximately 200m vertical depth."

Personnel are required to self-monitor and self-isolate or elect to work from home. The Company closely follows Provincial Government COVID guidelines. Dr. Geoff Heggie, Ph.D., P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and Vice President - Exploration for the Company, has reviewed and approved all technical information in this press release. Clean Air Metals uses ALS Global ("ALS"), a well-established and recognized mineral assay and geochemical analytical services company. The Thunder Bay laboratory holds ISO-9000 accreditation; the Vancouver facility holds ISO-17025 registration. All NQ-sized drill core is cut with a diamond-tipped saw blade with half of the core submitted to ALS for sample preparation and analysis. Core samples from selected intervals are individually bagged and tagged, gathered up in larger sealed poly bags and shipped to the sample prep facility in Thunder Bay, ON under custody of Clean Air Metals' personnel at all times. Sample preparation is completed at the ALS sample preparation facility located in Thunder Bay, ON and analysis is completed at the primary ALS assay laboratory located in Vancouver, B.C. Clean Air Metals follows a documented quality control procedure for its core assay sampling program consisting of the insertion of blind blanks, duplicates, and certified Palladium-Platinum and Copper-Nickel standards into the sample stream. The insertion procedure results in a minimum of 11% to 12% control sample frequency depending on the length of the sampled interval. Gold, platinum, and palladium are analyzed using fire assay (FA) with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) finish. Samples with grades above the optimal ICP-MS detection limits are analyzed using an optical emission spectroscopy method (ICP-OES). Also, thirty-three (33) elements of each sample, including copper, nickel, silver, chromium, cobalt, and sulphur, are analyzed by a multi-element analytical method using the atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) technique following four-acid digestion of the sample. When samples have grades above the optimal detection limits for this analytical method, they are re-analyzed using a high-grade method consisting of either ICP-AES or atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) techniques.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Continental Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CLR) (the "Company") today announced an increased quarterly dividend, and its first quarter 2022 production results, as well as improvements to its 2022 projected return on capital employed1 from its 2022 capital program enhancement. Logo - https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/95419/continental_resources_logo.jpg The Company's Board of Directors recently approved increasing the Company's quarterly dividend to $0.28 per share, payable on May 23, 2022 to stockholders of record on May 9, 2022. This dividend represents a $0.05, or approximately 22%, increase to the Company's $0.23 per share quarterly dividend paid in first quarter 2022 and equates to an approximately 1.8% annualized dividend yield, as of April 21, 2022, which exceeds the S&P 500 average yield. The Company continues to target a 2.0% or greater annualized dividend yield long term. First quarter 2022 total production averaged approximately 373.8 MBoepd. First quarter 2022 oil production averaged approximately 194.8 MBopd. First quarter 2022 natural gas production averaged approximately 1,074 MMcfpd. The Company is updating its 2022 annual oil production guidance to 200 to 210 MBopd from 195 to 205 MBopd. This is inclusive of production for the remainder of the year from the closing of the Company's Powder River acquisition on March 25, 2022. The Company is also projecting a December 2022 oil production exit rate of approximately 220 to 230 MBopd. Additionally, the Company is updating its 2022 annual natural gas production guidance to 1,100 MMcfpd to 1,200 MMcfpd from 1,040 to 1,140 MMcfpd. The Company's modified 2022 capital program of $2.6 to $2.7 billion from $2.3 billion is enhancing the Company's projected return of capital employed by 2.0% over its original 21% return on capital employed at $80 WTI and $3.50 HH. Adjusting for current commodity prices, the Company's projected return on capital employed is increasing to approximately 31% in 2022. The Company is also projecting a 40% or lower reinvestment rate, versus approximately 45% in the original capital program. Within the modified spend, the Company is allocating $100 to $125 million to activity related to a newly closed bolt-on acquisition in the Permian. The Company has added over 75,000 acres to its Permian position in addition to its strategic entrance announcement in November 2021.

Finally, the Company is allocating $100 to $125 million toward inflation and securing high quality rigs and crews for future years. "Our well-executed corporate returns driven and opportunity-based capital investment strategy is resulting in a significant improvement to our already strong balance sheet, shareholder return of capital and return on capital employed. Not only is our annualized dividend yield exceeding the S&P 500 average yield, but our enhanced 2022 capital program is improving our return on capital employed by approximately 2.0% versus our original 2022 capital program, at normalized prices. Continental will continue to differentiate itself from peers and the broader market through 2022 and beyond, and we look forward to providing additional color during our first quarter 2022 earnings report," said Bill Berry, President & Chief Executive Officer.

KCR rakes up Governors’ friction with States at TRS plenary April 27, 2022 15:37 ISTMr. Rao cited examples of Governors of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala working at cross purposes with elected State governments. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao came down heavily on the gubernatorial system in vogue in the country in an apparent reference to his strained relationship with the Governor of Telangana. At the plenary of TRS on Wednesday, Mr. Rao cited examples of Governors of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala working at cross purposes with elected State governments. In this context, he specifically mentioned the role of Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari in sitting over a file related to the recommendation of the State government on 12 nominees for Legislative Council under the Governor’s quota and Tamil Nadu government’s Bills empowering the government to scrap NEET for students from the State and empowering the government to appoint Vice-Chancellors for 13 universities. He recalled that the Centre did not learn lessons from the manner in which a popular government headed by N.T. Rama Rao was overthrown in 1984 but reinstated following a public uproar. The Governor then Ramlal met a humiliating experience as he was forced to quit. Over 200 MLA of Telugu Desam stood solidly behind NTR to testify that the will of the people in a democracy prevails. The Centre now shows scant respect for people’s voices.

Drink-driving mother jailed for killing daughter, four, and son, 10, in M1 crash A drink-driving mother of four who killed two of her children when she crashed into a lorry has been jailed for more than four years. Mary McCann, 35, hit the Scania HGV while driving northbound on the M1 near Milton Keynes at about 11.10pm on August 9 last year. Lilly McCann, four, and Smaller Peter McCann, who was 10 that day, died at the scene, between junctions 14 and 15. A third passenger, a two-year-old girl, was not badly hurt, while the lorry driver, Simon Denton, was left with whiplash. McCann appeared at Aylesbury Crown Court via video-link from HMP Bronzefield and wept throughout the hearing. Stephen Shay, prosecuting, said: “Ms McCann was driving three children in a Vauxhall Astra car when at 11.12pm she collided with the rear of a lorry driven by Simon Denton. A drink-driving mother of four who killed two of her children when she crashed into a lorry has been jailed for more than four years (PA) “Tragically, two of her children were killed.” McCann was in lane one, while the lorry was in lane two, the court was told. Her car drifted into lane two and, in a bid to avoid the lorry, she crashed into it – sending her car spinning. Mr Shay told the court McCann was driving at 72mph in a 60 zone, with Lilly and Smaller not wearing their seatbelts. Lilly was thrown from the car and found on the roadside, while Smaller was flung around the backseat and found slumped in the footwell, the court heard. A witness heard McCann shout: “God, why didn’t I put their seatbelts on?” in the smash’s immediate aftermath, Mr Shay said. McCann was arrested last September after failing to answer bail following the youngsters’ funerals, the court was told. Laban Leake, defending, said: “She is here to be punished by this court and rightly so, but it must be acknowledged that the true punishment for this offence lives within Mary McCann. “It is to that unquenchable wheel of fire that Mary McCann is bound.” He said his client has complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Judge Francis Sheridan said Mr Denton did nothing wrong. He said Lilly would “not have been ejected” if she had been strapped in, while “Smaller would have remained in his seat”. He said: “There is no punishment commensurate with the loss of one’s two children and I accept that. “The message must go out: don’t drive under the influence of alcohol.” McCann, of Bamford Avenue, Derby, was jailed for 49 months and banned from driving for seven years and two weeks after admitting two counts of causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced the launch of the ALT-9000 universal radio altimeter (RADALT) flight line test set. As manufacturers release RADALTs with more sophisticated waveforms to address safety and security issues in the aviation industry, the ALT-9000 adds fiber optic delay to traditional radio frequency (RF) testing, enabling it to test all types of RADALTS on the market today. The RADALT measures an aircraft's altitude above the terrain, by transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal down to the ground and receiving a reflection. To prevent potential spoofing or jamming of the return signal, modern RADALTs use more complex waveforms, and the U.S. military has transitioned a majority of its aircraft to these models. Also, as 5G networks begin to use C-band frequencies, older RADALTs may lack the required interference protection. These trends call for updated testing technology and procedures to address legacy and new RADALT types, and to enable rapid retesting to identify issues that can disrupt flight operations. The VIAVI ALT-9000 is a portable test set that utilizes fiber-optic delay to allow it to work with all types of radio altimeters. It tests the complete RADALT system, allowing the operator to isolate a problem to the antenna, coaxial cable, line-replaceable unit (LRU) or indicator, eliminating unnecessary swaps or replacements of system components. The ALT-9000 performs complete closed-loop system tests, replicates in-flight conditions, and creates profiles for dynamic altitude simulations. The comprehensive, efficient and user-friendly test process enables more frequent testing of flight systems, reducing the cost of takeoff failures. "After two years of the global pandemic, the aviation industry is planning for increased demand and a return to normal operations," said Guy Hill, Director of Avionics Test Products, VIAVI. "Aircraft operators, avionics system manufacturers, and maintenance, repair and overhaul service providers should adopt best practices to prevent further disruption, especially with increased focus on safety, security and efficient operation of radio altimeters.

LONDON (AP) — An independent monitor of Britain’s use of surveillance cameras has asked for the government to clarify its positions on buying equipment from a Chinese technology company accused of involvement in human rights abuses. Fraser Sampson, the biometrics and surveillance camera commissioner, said he raised concerns with senior Cabinet officials after Hikvision failed to answer questions about the extent of its role in China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in western Xinjiang province. “There are serious unanswered questions about Hikvision’s involvement in appalling human rights abuses in China,” Sampson said in a statement Tuesday. “The company seems unwilling or unable to provide assurances about the ethics of some of its operations and about security concerns associated with its equipment.” Sampson said the company’s cameras and facial recognition technology have been implicated in “systematic human rights abuses” against Uyghurs. He said widespread persecution of the minority group in Xinjiang “is known to rely heavily on surveillance technology, including facial recognition software designed to detect racial characteristics.” The Telegraph newspaper reported earlier this month that the U.K. health department banned Hikvision, which is part-owned by the Chinese government, from competing for new business after a procurement report found “ethical concerns” about the company. Sampson said all branches of the British government should rule out contracts with Hikvision until the company provides necessary information on ethics and security. It wasn’t immediately clear how many of the firm’s cameras have been purchased by local authorities or are in use in U.K. government buildings, although media reports have estimated that there were more than 1.2 million Hikvision cameras in the country. In 2019, the firm was blocked from selling to U.S. federal government agencies following security concerns. Hikvision, which is headquartered in Hangzhou, China, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday. The company’s website says its products are used in more than 150 countries and regions and that it employs more than 42,000 people worldwide.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — LGBTQ rights advocates called Tuesday for a Kansas state lawmaker to be formally censured after she publicly said she didn’t want to share the women’s restrooms at the Statehouse with a transgender colleague. The Kansas House’s top Republican called GOP state Rep. Cheryl Helmer’s comments “unfortunate” and Democrats condemned them. The state’s leading LGBTQ rights lobbyist saw “a new level of toxic bigotry” in Helmer’s emailed remarks to a University of Kansas student and subsequent interviews about Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Byers. The furor over Helmer’s remarks shadowed GOP lawmakers’ attempt to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a bill that would ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s K-12 and college sports. “We know this has been going on in offices, and back rooms and conversations since the day I was elected,” Byers said Tuesday. “The shocking part is that it came out, that someone actually said it.” Helmer stood firmly by her comments while defending a bill she co-sponsored that would make it a felony for doctors to provide hormones or do gender transition surgery for children under 18. She also said she worried about the safety of young children who visit the Statehouse and decried what she called an “in your face” approach to promoting transgender rights from Byers, the state’s first elected transgender lawmaker. The 70-year-old Republican lawmaker also said she tried to make a point when she mistakenly entered a men’s restroom in the House in early 2021. The men, she said, were surprised and upset, so she asked them how they would like it if a woman regularly used their restroom. Pressed on the issue Monday evening, she said parents shouldn’t be allowed to “change” their child’s gender. “You can’t lop a penis off and then expect, you know, a little boy to now live his life,” she said. “He’ll be in regret for the rest of his life.” Supporters of the bill on transgender athletes have said they want to preserve fair competition and are not attacking transgender girls and women. LGBTQ rights advocates said Helmer’s comments prove anti-trans bigotry is behind the measure. The Kansas Senate voted 28-10 on Tuesday to override Kelly’s veto of the transgender athletes bill. A House vote will follow, but it wasn’t likely this week. Republicans in at least 15 states have enacted bans on transgender athletes, and several have outlawed gender-affirming medical care for children. In Michigan, a conservative state senator accused a Democratic colleague of wanting to “groom” and “sexualize” young children, prompting a response that went viral on social media. Helmer is a retired Wichita school counselor and nursing instructor, a conservative Republican elected in 2018 to represent a district south of the state’s largest city. She participates in rodeo barrel racing and has a sign in her office that says, “My horse is smarter than your honor student.” Byers, 59, is a retired Wichita high school music teacher and band director who was elected to the House in 2020. In her email Sunday to 25-year-old University of Kansas graduate student Brenan Riffel, Helmer wrote: “Now, personally I do not appreciate the huge transgender female who is now in our restrooms in the Capitol.” Riffel, who describes themself as trans-feminine and uses the pronouns they/them, released the email to the Kansas Reflector, a nonprofit news provider. Tom Witt,executive director of Equality Kansas, called on the Kansas House to censure Helmer, something that would take a formal complaint from another lawmaker and a two-thirds majority vote. “It is a new level of toxic bigotry that I have not seen in this building before,” Witt said. Equality Kansas later sent a letter to House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., a Kansas City-area Republican, demanding that Helmer be punished. The speaker can strip a House member of committee assignments, but Ryckman noted that committees no longer are meeting for the year. Ryckman said that if another lawmakers files a complaint, the House will form a committee to investigate, adding, “She will be held accountable by her constituents. Byers said several lawmakers have moved away from her in the elevator, and that the Kansas Republican Party’s last platform, drafted in 2018, declares that, “We believe God created two genders, male and female.” In her email to Riffel, Helmer wrote, “A doctor can inject meds and dilute but cannot destroy what God has done in the perfection of the HUMAN BEING.” Riffel said in an interview that they weren’t surprised by Helmer’s response, “considering what it would take” to sponsor the bill banning gender-affirming care for trans youth. “The rhetoric against the LGBTQ community has been the same for years, that we’re a threat to society; we’re going to hurt people,” said Riffel. “I just want to go about and just be myself.” ___ Follow John Hanna on Twitter: https://twitter.com/apjdhanna

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish and Bulgarian leaders accused Moscow of using natural gas to blackmail their countries after Russia's state-controlled energy company said it would stop supplying the two European nations Wednesday. The gas cutoff came after Russian President Vladimir Putin said last month that “unfriendly” countries would need to start paying for gas in rubles, Russia's currency, which Bulgaria and Poland refused to do. Russian energy giant Gazprom said in a statement that it hadn’t received any payments from Poland and Bulgaria since April 1 and was suspending their deliveries starting Wednesday. If the countries siphon off gas intended for other European customers, deliveries to Europe will be reduced by that amount, the company said. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told Poland's parliament that he thinks the suspension was revenge for new sanctions against Russia that Warsaw imposed over the war in Ukraine. Morawiecki vowed that Poland would not be cowed by the cutoff. He said the country was safe from an energy crisis thanks to years of efforts to secure gas from other countries. Lawmakers stood and applauded when he said that Russia’s “gas blackmail” would have no effect on Poland. The new sanctions, announced Tuesday, targeted 50 Russian oligarchs and companies, including Gazprom. Hours later, Poland said it had received notice that Gazprom was cutting off its gas supplies for failing to adhere to the demand to pay in Russian rubles. Poland’s gas company, PGNiG, said the gas supplies from the Yamal pipeline stopped early Wednesday, as Gazprom had warned they would. Bulgaria said Tuesday that it also was informed by Gazprom that the country's gas supplies would end at the same time. Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov called Gazprom’s suspension of gas deliveries to his country “a gross violation of their contract" and “blackmail.” “We will not succumb to such a racket,” he added. Russia's move raised wider concerns that other countries could be targeted next as Western countries increase their support for Ukraine amid a war now in its third month. European Union officials were holding emergency talks on Wednesday. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the announcement by Gazprom “is yet another attempt by Russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail.” The Greek government was to hold its own emergency meeting in Athens. Greece's next scheduled payment to Gazprom is due on May 25, and the government must decide whether it will comply with the demand to complete the transaction in rubles. Greece is ramping up its liquefied natural gas storage capacity, and has contingency plans to switch several industry sectors from gas to diesel as an emergency energy source. It has also reversed a program to reduce domestic coal production over the next two years. Europe is not without leverage in the dispute; at current prices, it pays Russia some $400 million a day for gas, money Putin would lose with a complete cutoff. Russia can in theory sell its oil elsewhere, such as to India and China, because oil primarily moves by ship. But the gas pipeline network that carries gas from the huge deposits in northwestern Siberia's Yamal Peninsula does not connect with pipelines that run to China. And Russia only has limited facilities to export super chilled liquefied gas by ship. Russian gas made up some 45% of Poland's overall gas usage until the cutoff. But Poland is far more reliant on coal to heat homes and fuel industry, with gas making up around 7% of the country's overall energy mix. Russian supplies to Poland already were expected to end later this year anyway. Poland has worked for many years to secure supplies from other countries. Several years ago, the country opened its first terminal for liquefied natural gas, or LNG, in Swinoujscie, on the Baltic Sea coast. A pipeline from Norway is to due to start operating this year. In Bulgaria, the main consumers of gas are district heating companies, and only about 120,000 households rely on gas. Bulgaria's energy minister said his country can meet the needs of users for at least one month. “Alternative supplies are available, and Bulgaria hopes that alternative routes and supplies will also be secured at the EU level,” Energy Minister Alexander Nikolov said. Fatih Birol, the head of the Paris-based International Energy Agency, described Russia's move as a “weaponization of energy supplies.” He said Russia’s decision “makes it clearer than ever that Europe needs to move quickly to reduce its reliance on Russian energy.” ___ Toshkov reported from Bulgaria.

The first Ukrainian family has been welcomed to Derbyshire as generous people across the county open their homes to refugees. It's been confirmed that more than 400 visas have been issued across the county. Leader of North East Derbyshire District Council, Councillor Alex Dale, visited the family staying with a host couple as part of the Homes for Ukraine scheme, which asks UK volunteers to provide accommodation for refugees for at least six months. Speaking at the NEDDC full council meeting (April 25), he said: “I was very pleased to pay a visit to who we believe to be the first family to arrive in Derbyshire to welcome them, and also to say a huge thank you on behalf of the district to a sponsor couple.” Read more stories about Derbyshire people He added: “It goes without saying that this huge thank you extends to all those who decided to do something amazing.” Home Office figures updated on April 19 reveal so far 32 visas for refugees have been issued for North East Derbyshire, 25 for Chesterfield, 26 for Bolsover and 98 for the Derbyshire Dales. Furthermore, 52 visas have been issued for Amber Valley, 69 for High Peak, 29 for Erewash, 51 for South Derbyshire and 61 for Derby. Cllr Dale said NEDDC officers have been working with fellow district and borough councils, as well as Derbyshire County Council and community and volunteer sectors, to meet Government requirements for rehoming people. He said: “Our core role within the guidance is to provide the home safety checks and I’m really pleased to say that our Environmental Health team has been leading the way across the county in terms of establishing a standardised digital accommodation inspection process, which will be available for all authorities throughout the county.” NEDDC has put together a welcome pack for refugees, which includes information on how to access services including libraries and leisure centres, as well as how to contact a councillor if needed. Cllr Dale said: “We’ve also provided all Ukrainian arrivals with a free leisure pass for use in any of our four facilities for the purpose of promoting health and wellbeing, but also so they can keep in touch with us by visiting our services and hopefully meet people locally as well.” For further information on Homes for Ukraine, including how to get involved, visit the gov.uk website.

Partner and Brand Strategy Leader at Historic, co-author of “Culture Built My Brand”. How can you position your brand to attract more customers and stay ahead of the competition? By tapping into one of the most powerful forces behind your brand’s success or failure: company culture. By cultivating a company culture that guides your employees to deliver consistently on your brand promise, you can create lift for your organization and fuel breakthrough success. How A Marquee Culture Wins More Customers Whether you like it or not, your company culture makes a loud statement about who you are and what your audience can expect from you—just like a brightly lit marquee sign. Imagine having a company culture that: • Equips staff to consistently deliver on your brand promise. • Engages employees and turns them into your greatest advocates. • Aligns internal systems and empowers the people they’re designed to support. • Creates customer experiences that reinforce brand values. • Turns your brand’s differentiated ways of doing things into second nature. This is what I call a “Marquee Culture,” an inside-out alignment of brand and culture that builds advocacy, delivers on your brand promise and makes tribes of followers by creating irresistible branded experiences for employees and customers. This alignment is how top consumer brands like Southwest, Netflix and Apple have sustained growth and scale. The Six Layers Of A Marquee Culture In my experience, building a Marquee Culture begins by aligning the following six layers of company culture. When these six layers line up with your unique brand value and promise, your people are more likely to become brand ambassadors who turn every customer touchpoint into a genuine and compelling on-brand experience. Let’s unpack each layer of Marquee Culture. 1. Principles Principles are the specific behaviors that shape the internal and external brand experience. Most brands have some form of guiding values. But all too often, those values are abstract and dangerously vague. They function more like belief systems than behavior-shaping statements informing the decisions your people make. If your values are abstract and unclear, create principles—specific behaviors that clarify how you expect your staff to live out your brand. For example, at Historic, one of our own guiding principles is being “people-centered,” which means we elevate people over product and put every decision to a single question: Will it make people’s lives better and improve the communities in which they live? This principle has been the driver behind our mission of helping ambitious brands do more good in the world. 2. Architecture Architecture includes the systems and structures that support staff and shape internal operations. In some organizations, people operate in ways that are antithetical to the brand they’re meant to support. For instance, the brand may have a core value about “caring for people.” If that value hasn’t been instilled and operationalized into the organizational systems and structures (such as in supervision, compensation and so on), employees will not experience the care their brand says it champions. This absence of care can deepen employee cynicism and eventually trickle into the customer experience. The employee review process is a great place to start. Your employees need to understand how their behavior furthers or hinders the brand experience. Systems of review and supervision should clarify and hold people accountable not only to day-to-day responsibilities but also to on-brand behaviors. 3. Rituals Rituals are recurring employee activities that build positive energy and reinforce brand values. Rituals can be led by leaders and include things such as all-staff activities. The best rituals, however, are organically driven by employees, developing from within the organization. A great example is NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Every October, the staff use their own time and resources to pull off an over-the-top pumpkin carving contest. It’s an employee-led activity that gives engineers the chance to apply their rocket-building skills to something fun and unconventional. Identify the employee-led activities already in motion that reflect your values, then fan the flame of these brand rituals. And remember: Support does not mean control. 4. Lore Every organization has a handful of stories that either build up or tear down the brand from the inside out. One organization we worked with had the unofficial mantra, “You’re just a plane ride away from losing your job.” Whenever the CEO went on a business trip, employees were afraid he’d offer their job to the person sitting next to him on the plane. This had happened only a couple of times, but the lore highlighted the organization’s competitive and borderline toxic culture. But lore can also be positive or neutral. Your role as a leader is to know which stories are making the rounds and tell the ones that shape your desired culture. Listen to stories people are telling, and then proactively share those that elevate your principles and showcase your brand’s differentiation. 5. Vocabulary “Words create worlds,” said Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. Vocabulary includes words and phrases that carry specific meaning in your organization. Your vocabulary shouldn’t be a long list of gimmicky terms but should reflect your values, principles and other layers of Marquee Culture. All you need is a handful of sticky words and phrases that help your people understand what matters most in your organization. Take stock of your vocabulary, and eliminate words that aren’t supporting your brand’s success. Identify words and phrases that will help your people remember the key concepts driving your brand. Use them often to embed them into your vocabulary. For example, a key phrase in our own agency lexicon is “think outside the to-do.” Simply put, we don’t want mindless execution. We want a culture of rabid strategists who think about every decision. 6. Artifacts Artifacts are the layer of culture everyone sees—the tangible objects your people can touch and the spaces where they work. Swag is great, but it rarely shapes your culture as artifacts should. An artifact points back to your brand, creating value for your staff and reminding them of your principles. At Keap, a CRM and marketing automation company, there’s an artificial turf football field in the middle of the building. This physical asset reminds employees that they win together by working as a team. Whether simple or involved, customize and design your artifacts to resonate with your team and engage them with your brand. Even if your organization isn’t in a position to overhaul its company culture, start small. Every micro and macro effort to align your brand and company culture will move you closer toward a Marquee Culture that inspires your team, attracts tribes of followers, and turns employees and customers into raving fans.

When Danica Roem was sworn in after defeating a Republican who had served in Virginia's House of Delegates for a quarter of a century, she became the first openly transgender state legislator in the United States. "You don't get too many transgender, metal head, reporter, yogini, stepmom vegetarians running for office," she recently told NPR. Roem, a former journalist who also fronted a metal band, was elected in 2017 and reelected in November to a third term. She said she feels like her story is relatable. "I like to think that for all the eccentricities I have and even the different worlds of identities, I think that one thing that's very common on this is I do know what it means to have to work. I do know what it means to make ends meet and to struggle financially," she says. In her new memoir, Burn the Page, Roem tackles the kinds of personal stories that most politicians would seek to bury as deep as possible. NPR's Juana Summers spoke with Roem about her book — and why she put herself out there. "I want to encourage people to own their own narratives and set fire to the stories that they don't want to be in anymore," she says. These interview highlights contain some additional content that did not air in the broadcast version. Interview highlights Your book is sprinkled with some quotes from opposition research you commissioned on yourself. I want to read one example: "Danica Roem in 2008 was videotaped performing a keg stand as people chanted 'Suck it!' and then proceeded to pick up the keg and chuck it through the window." So that last part was an embellishment. Did I do the first two things? Yes. But I do not have the upper body strength to be able to perform that last stunt. Therefore, the whole reason I want[ed] to include that in the book is that when other people even write — in that case, it's the Facebook status just among friends that was just supposed [to] make people laugh, right? Other people find things that are either embellishments or not true about you, and they can be the ones who will tell the story. And very much in politics what ends up happening is that people will create a narrative about who you are in terms of what they think is politically advantageous for their side. So one of the things I really wanted to do was kind of own the entire concept of, like, look, things that are written about you online or things that you've written about yourself online — good, bad, right, wrong, correct, incorrect — you've got to be able to own that, recognize it for what it is and, at the same time, use it to empower you to feel confident about telling your own stories. You wrote really openly about your childhood growing up in Virginia and the struggle that you described to fit in. One thing that stuck out to me is that you describe yourself as a "closet-case trans girl." That experience taught you how to be resilient. Well, so, I, on the one hand, very much know what it's like to be too afraid to be yourself in front of other people, and so you put up a facade and you try to become a version of you that you believe is socially acceptable to other people. And because I was so scared of being outed, I was scared of other people who I knew finding out that I was trans and everything, and just looking for these moments of genuine feminine expression. It was so hard. When I think in the modern context about what these kids are going through today, where the very state legislators and governors who were elected to serve them and their school board members and their local government officials are singling out and stigmatizing their most vulnerable constituents. Why on earth and how on earth would you look at a trans kid and want to demonize them and hurt them, rather than say, "What can I do to help you and your family? What can I do to serve you? What can I do to make you a part of this community and make you feel welcome and safe and respected because of who you are, not despite it?" ... My worry on a day-to-day basis is those 41% of trans people who will attempt suicide in their lives ... because they feel that they don't have hope that other people are trying to take away from them. And I hope that my book, if anything else, can inspire people and very, very much allow them to say, "Hey, you know what? I do belong here." And when you go and read Burn the Page, I hope I made you laugh. I hope I give you some things that are very self-deprecating on my part, so you know that I take my job seriously but not myself. And that it will hopefully, if nothing else, encourage you to just own that story and say, "You know what? This is who I am. I get to be me, and I'm not going to let you tell me otherwise." One thing that's come up over and over again in our conversation but also in your book is this idea of being seen for who one is. I wonder if you can talk about the importance of that visibility of being seen. So the way I like to phrase it is being vulnerable enough to be visible. When you're being visible, it's an inherent state of vulnerability because you're putting yourself out there. You're letting people know who you are and that you exist. And so I like to think that my vulnerability, my visibility in 2017, as scary as it would be for me sometimes, it would inspire other adults to run for office. And it would also inspire kids who would send me messages. I got handwritten letters in the mail. One of them was from a kid in Hampton Roads [Virginia] who said, "You're the first person I'm ever telling this to, but I'm trans. I'm scared, but I thought that you would understand." I thought at least they know that they have a friend in my office. At least they know that there's someone like them and who hurts when they hurt and at the same time is trying to do something about it too. I cannot have this conversation with you without talking about the through line that music — particularly metal — has had in your life. I would love to know what made it so necessary for you, when you were growing up, to just head up all of these shows and all of these venues night after night. Well, you know, I always tell people that when you were into metal, metal isn't just a sound and it's not just music — it's a lifestyle. It's the way you dress, the way you talk to your friends, the way you're interacting with other people. The reason that it was all so important for me was I was looking for a sense of community. And I also knew what it's like to be singled out. And so when you're a teenager and you're trying to figure out your identity, you're trying to figure out how you fit into the world, one thing that very much resonated with me from metal was that kind of audio rebellion that is very much inherent to it. It's very anti-authoritarian and it's very intense musically. You are a stepmom, a yogi, a metal head, a delegate. What is next on the horizon for you? I know you were just recently reelected. Any plans of running for other offices? Well, so not Congress, not statewide, but check in with me May 9. I'll have another announcement about my next political move then. Copyright 2022 NPR.

Wednesday's letters: Tackling insurance crisis, choosing ignorance, limiting opinions Possible fix for Florida’s insurance crisis Insurance companies are concerned about several issues, including questionable claims and lawsuits but also the potential of severe storms as a major source of losses (“DeSantis calling special legislative session to tackle Florida’s property insurance crisis,” April 18). Because of the recent history of named storms and hurricanes, companies are abandoning insuring properties on the keys and in coastal counties. So it’s supply and demand, with fewer companies offering coverage, higher premiums, stiffer underwriting and reductions in what is covered. As wind damage is the element that scares carriers away, what if Citizens Property Insurance was the only company to write wind coverage in the state? More:How to send a letter to the editor Then, all the companies writing in Florida would be on a level plane for the other potential risks they cover. No reason to decline coverage along the windy coast or islands. Premiums for “standard” companies would be based on relatively basic perils dependent on structure and use, and not the susceptibility to hurricane damage. Citizens could control the wind damage coverage options and premiums, allowing other companies to survive and compete. Maybe the Legislature could consider this fix in its upcoming session. And insurance consumers could catch their breath! Richard Greene, Southwest Insurance Associates, Sarasota Electric vehicle batteries toxic to planet An electric vehicle has zero emissions at point of use, achieved by using a storage battery the size of a steamer trunk containing half a ton of toxins and heavy metals. To extract and process the lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, copper, aluminum, steel and plastic required for each EV battery, 500,000 pounds of the Earth’s crust must be churned up in mining operations vastly unfriendly to the planet’s landscape and environment. An EV battery’s rechargeable life averages eight years, less if fast charged. Being nonrecyclable, it must be discarded when it can no longer be charged and replaced (for thousands of dollars) to run the vehicle. Every EV battery will end up in a landfill to degrade and leak its contaminants into our soil and groundwater. Yet the goal of world leaders is to have 145 million EVs on the road by 2030 and accommodating auto companies are retooling from gas-powered vehicles to electric ones, supported by government subsidies. Why isn’t anyone telling us about the physical carnage to the planet, toxic harm to the environment and increased electrical energy usage (primarily from fossil fuel sources) that the production, repetitive charging and disposal of EV batteries will cause? John A. Lanzetta, Sarasota Triumph of ignorance over tolerance What could be more despicable than removing a banner celebrating diversity and tolerance from a local high school classroom (‘“COEXIST’ flag deemed potentially political at Booker High School,” April 23)? What could be more disingenuous than claiming that the banner represents an inappropriate political statement? No state in the union has historically been “freer” than Florida to engage in slavery, Jim Crow violence, lynching, voter suppression, union busting, misogyny and homophobia. Yet thanks to Gov. Ron DeSantis and a supporting cast of Republican bigots, we now confront politics that celebrate immorality and ignorance. Raise your voices, Floridians! Stop this assault on decency! Patrick Bidelman, Nokomis Stifling criticism of Biden administration With six months to go until the midterm elections, you have decided to emphasize local affairs at the expense of national ones on your Opinion page (“A new focus for our Opinion page – but the same clear mission,” April 24). Why? I can only think of one reason. You don’t want your readers to be fully aware of the disaster that the Biden administration has foisted upon this country. Perhaps I am a bit cynical, but we should be able to voice our conservative opinions in the Herald-Tribune. There are so many national problems facing us that affect our daily lives that you should want opinions expressed. After all, President Joe Biden’s policies caused our record-high inflation (not Vladimir Putin's) and caused the southern border chaos, just to subvert the previous administration’s good work. We should also be able to talk about crime in the big cities, Hunter Biden’s dealing with China, the Durham report, which has uncovered a link between the debunked Steele report and the Clinton campaign, and the disruption Biden caused in the oil and gas industries via his regulations curtailing exploration. The major TV networks do a pretty good job of limiting all the news, just broadcasting what they want us to hear. Enough of this already! Shame on you. Marvin Glusman, Sarasota

By The Associated Press WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s prime minister has lashed out at Russia for trying to “blackmail” his country with an abrupt cutoff of gas supplies. He says he believes the move was revenge for new sanctions that Warsaw imposed this week against Russia. The sanctions announced Tuesday targeted 50 Russian oligarchs and companies, including Gazprom. Hours later Poland said it had received notice that Gazprom was cutting off supplies to Poland for failing to comply with new demands to pay in Russian rubles. Speaking to the Polish parliament, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki vowed that Poland would not be cowed by the gas cutoff. He said Poland was safe thanks to years of efforts aimed at securing gas from other countries. Lawmakers stood and applauded when he said that Russia’s “gas blackmail” would have no effect on his country. Russian made up some 45% of Poland’s overall gas usage until the cutoff. But Poland is far more reliant on coal to heat homes and fuel industry, with gas accounting for only 9% of the country’s overall energy mix. Russian supplies were also due to end later this year in any case. Poland has made plans to get its supplies from other countries, including Norway. A new pipeline, “Baltic Pipe,” is due to become operational in the fall. ___ KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: — Russia says it’s cutting gas to 2 EU nations in escalation — UN chief and Russia’s Putin agree on key Ukraine evacuation — DJI halts Russia, Ukraine business to prevent drone misuse Follow all AP stories on Russia’s war on Ukraine at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine ___ OTHER DEVELOPMENTS: BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary’s foreign minister says his country’s supply of Russian natural gas is unaffected by the decision of Russia’s Gazprom to cut supplies to Poland and Bulgaria. Peter Szijjarto said in a video on Facebook Wednesday that “the news that Gazprom’s deliveries to Bulgaria have stopped may be worrying,” but the transit of Russian gas to Hungary via Bulgaria would continue. He said: “I would like to reassure everybody that the non-delivery of gas to Bulgaria does not mean the stop of transit through Bulgaria.” Gazprom said it would suspend gas deliveries to Bulgaria and Poland beginning on Wednesday after those countries refused to comply with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demand that European countries pay for gas in rubles. Szijjarto said Hungary receives around 3.5 billion cubic meters of Russian gas per year via a pipeline that passes through Turkey, Bulgaria and Serbia. He added that supply was assured after Hungary reached an agreement with Russia whereby gas payments would be made to Gazprombank in euros and then converted into rubles. ___ LONDON — Britain’s top diplomat says the West should send planes to Ukraine to bolster its fight against Russian invasion. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says “the fate of Ukraine remains in the balance,” and is calling for Western nations to increase military support to Kyiv. In a speech in London on Wednesday, Truss will say: “Heavy weapons, tanks, aeroplanes – digging deep into our inventories, ramping up production.” She says that “if Putin succeeds there will be untold further misery across Europe and terrible consequences across the globe. We would never feel safe again. So we must be prepared for the long haul and double down on our support for Ukraine.” Truss is also calling for tougher economic sanctions on Russia, saying the West must cut off Russian oil and gas imports “once and for all.” Extracts of the speech were released in advance by the Foreign Office. NATO nations have supplied Ukraine with military gear including missiles and armored vehicles, but have been reluctant to send fighter planes out of concern about escalating the conflict. ___ MOSCOW — The Russian military says it has struck a batch of Western weapons delivered to Ukraine. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Wednesday that sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles hit the weapons stored on the grounds of an aluminum plant in Zaporizhzhia. He said the batch of weapons contained equipment from the U.S. and European countries. Konashenkov also said that the Russian warplanes struck 59 Ukrainian targets, including areas of concentrations of troops and equipment. He said Russian artillery hit 573 Ukrainian targets. ___ BRUSSELS — European Union officials are holding emergency gas talks following Russia’s decision to abruptly turn off supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, according to the bloc’s top official. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said the announcement by Gazprom “is yet another attempt by Russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail.” Von der Leyen lashed out at what she described as an “unjustified and unacceptable” move underlining “the unreliability of Russia as a gas supplier.” Von der Leyen, the head of the EU’s executive branch, said a meeting of the gas coordination group was underway, adding that the region’s 27 countries are prepared to weather Russia’s cutoffs. “Member States have put in place contingency plans for just such a scenario and we worked with them in coordination and solidarity,” she said. “We are mapping out our coordinated EU response. We will also continue working with international partners to secure alternative flows.” ___ LONDON — British military authorities say Ukraine retains control of a majority of the country’s airspace as Russia has failed to destroy Ukraine’s air force or suppress its air defenses. The U.K. Ministry of Defense, in an intelligence update released Wednesday morning, says Russian air activity is focused on supporting ground forces in southern and eastern Ukraine. The ministry says Russian air forces have “very limited” access to northern and western Ukraine, limiting them to long-range attacks with missiles and other “stand-off” weapons. The ministry also says that the majority of air strikes on the southern city of Mariupol are probably being conducted with unguided bombs, which are difficult to target and increase civilian casualties. ___ SOFIA, Bulgaria — Energy Minister Alexander Nikolov said Wednesday that Bulgaria can meet the needs of users for at least one month, after the country was given a one-day notice by Russia’s Gazprom that its gas supplies would be discontinued. He said that gas is still flowing as he spoke. “Alternative supplies are available, and Bulgaria hopes that alternative routes and supplies will also be secured at EU level,” Nikolov said referring to an EU expert meeting due later Wednesday to plan the next steps. He added that Poland and Lithuania are in the same situation as Bulgaria. The Bulgarian side has fully met its obligations and has made all payments required under its current contract in a timely manner, strictly and in accordance with its terms, Nikolov said, and Bulgaria has paid in advance for supplies in April, which shows that Gazprom has defaulted on its contract. “Obviously gas is used as a political tool,” he said. “As long as I am Minister, Bulgaria will not negotiate under pressure, Bulgaria is not for sale and does not succumb to any trade counterpart.” ___ LVIV, Ukraine — European gas prices have spiked by as much as 24% following Gazprom’s statement that it was suspending deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria starting Wednesday because it hasn’t received any payments from them since April 1. Benchmark Dutch futures traded at one point around 125 euros per megawatt hour. Fatih Birol, the executive director of the Paris-based International Energy Agency, called Russia’s decision to cut off natural gas to Bulgaria and Poland the “weaponization of energy supplies.” “Gazprom’s move to completely shut off gas supplies to Poland is yet another sign of Russia’s politicisation of existing agreements & will only accelerate European efforts to move away from Russian energy supplies,” he tweeted Wednesday morning. He said the Russia’s decision “makes it clearer than ever that Europe needs to move quickly to reduce its reliance on Russian energy.” The spike comes even as the weather turns warmer in the Europe, lessening the demand for the natural gas for heating homes and businesses. ___ MOSCOW — Russia’s state-controlled natural gas giant Gazprom says it has cut gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria after they have refused to pay for the shipments in rubles. It warned that if they siphon gas intended for other European customers, the deliveries to Europe will be reduced to that amount. The move follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order to switch to rubles in payments for the Russian gas supplied to Europe. ___ BEIJING — Drone company DJI Technology Co. said it will temporarily suspend business activities in Russia and Ukraine to ensure its products are not used during the hostilities. “DJI is internally reassessing compliance requirements in various jurisdictions. Pending the current review, DJI will temporarily suspend all business activities in Russia and Ukraine,” the company said in a statement. The declaration makes it one of few Chinese companies who have publicly pulled out of Russia. While many Western brands and companies have withdrawn from the Russian market in protest of its invasion of Ukraine, many Chinese firms have continued operating in the country. China continues to refrain from directly criticizing Russia over the war. The suspension comes over a month after vice prime minister of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov wrote an open letter appealing to DJI to block the sales of their drones in Russia, alleging that the Russians were using “DJI products in Ukraine in order to navigate their missile to kill civilians.” ___ POKROVSK, Ukraine — As Russian forces intensify their shelling of eastern Ukraine, more people are leaving their homes in search of safety. In Pokrovsk, a town in the Donetsk region, people lined up Tuesday to board a train headed to the far west of the country along the border with Hungary and Slovakia. One person was lifted onto the train in a wheelchair, another on a stretcher. The passengers took with them cats, dogs, a few bags and boxes, and the memory of those who did not flee in time. “We were in the basement, but my daughter didn’t make it and was hit with shrapnel on the doorstep” during shelling on Monday, said Mykola Kharchenko, 74. “We had to bury her in the garden near the pear tree.” He said his village, Vremivka, about 70 kilometers (40 miles) from Pokrovsk, was under heavy fire for four days and everything was destroyed. With tears in his eyes, Kharchenko said he somehow held himself together at home, but once he reached the train station he fell apart. ___ UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. says Secretary-General António Guterres and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed in principle that the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross should be involved in the evacuation of civilians from a besieged steel plant in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Mariupol. U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said that during their one-on-one meeting Tuesday, Guterres and Putin “discussed the proposals for humanitarian assistance and evacuation of civilians from conflict zones, namely in relation to the situation in Mariupol.” The sprawling Azovstal steel plant has been almost completely destroyed by Russian attacks but it is the last pocket of organized Ukrainian resistance in Mariupol. An estimated 2,000 troops and 1,000 civilians are said to be holed up in bunkers underneath the wrecked structure. Dujarric said that following the Guterres-Putin agreement in principle, discussions will be held with the U.N. humanitarian office and the Russian Defense Ministry on the evacuation.

LONDON (AP) — Five officers from London's Metropolitan Police will face a gross misconduct hearing over the stop and search of two Black athletes, the force said Wednesday. Bianca Williams and her partner, Ricardo Dos Santos, who are both professional sprinters, were stopped in west London on July 4, 2020, while traveling with their 3-month-old baby in a car. Both were handcuffed and they were searched for weapons and drugs, but nothing was found. Williams, a sprint relay gold medalist at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and 2018 European Championships, accused police of racial profiling and filed a complaint. “I welcome this decision and hope this opens the door for the Met to start being more honest and reflective about the culture of racism which is undoubtedly still a reality within the organization,” Williams said in a statement released by the couple’s lawyers. The Independent Office for Police Conduct, which handles complaints against police in England and Wales, said the five police officers involved in the stop incident will face a disciplinary panel that “will decide whether allegations that they breached professional standards are proven.” The police force has apologized for the distress caused to the two athletes. It said the officers patrolling the area stopped and searched the car because they believed it was “being driven in a manner that raised suspicion.” London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he was “disturbed” by the incident and said it highlighted the need to overhaul the leadership of the Metropolitan Police, Britain's largest police department. London police chief Cressida Dick quit in February after Khan publicly criticized her leadership following a string of allegations involving racist and misogynistic behavior within her department's ranks. “This case is yet another example of why it is vital that the next commissioner has a more effective plan to tackle the serious cultural issues within the Met Police and to regain the trust of Londoners," Khan said Tuesday. The police force acknowledged that its tactics have a “disproportionate impact on some communities,” and said it has recently updated its policy on the use of handcuffs before an arrest has been made to ensure a clear framework on when this is appropriate.

An angry dad claimed his 12-year-old son was the victim of discrimination over his 'extreme' haircut. The boy was placed in isolation at school after returning from the Easter holidays sporting the unacceptable style. James Cullen does not believe his son, Jacob, would have been treated the same way by teachers at St Andrew's Catholic School, in Leatherhead, Surrey, if he was a girl. Jacob returned to school after Easter with his new trim, which included blond highlights and some of his hair shaved down to grade one. The school contacted Mr Cullen stating the cut was unacceptable and that Jacob was being placed in isolation away from other students. The pupil remained separated from his classmates during free periods and breaks for the rest of the week, SurreyLive reports. Mr Cullen claimed the punishment was unreasonable after he witnessed female pupils with highlighted hair. He raged: "In the meeting I had with the school, his head of year suggested that he shave his head. "I don't believe for a minute if he was a female pupil that they would have said that." But the school responded by claiming no such suggestion was made during the meeting. The isolation continued until Monday (April 25), at which point Mr Cullen threatened to keep Jacob at home if the punishment was not lifted. The school replied saying that the isolation would end from Tuesday, in an attempt to end the stand-off. "I don't want to draw a line under it, I've just started," said Mr Cullen. "What we need is consistency, the rules need to apply across the board. I've dropped Jacob off at school every morning for the past seven months, and I've seen lots of female students with bleached blonde hair." The school's uniform policy, as stated on its website, says: "Extremes of fashion in clothing, footwear and hairstyle are not permitted. Hair colour and style must be appropriate for school. Dyed hair is not acceptable. Number 2 is the shortest cut allowed." Headteacher Alan Mitchell denied the rules are applied differently for male and female pupils, and said regulations are explained clearly to parents in the months before their child is admitted He said: "Parents would expect me to apply the rules fairly and consistently. We made the rules crystal clear, and we know that's what is best for the kids." For more stories from where you live, visit InYourArea

Probe into claims Tory MP watched pornography in Commons chamber The Conservatives are investigating claims that a Tory MP was caught watching pornography on his mobile phone in the House of Commons chamber. Chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris was looking into the “wholly unacceptable” allegations, with a spokeswoman vowing on Wednesday that “action will be taken”. The investigation came after the Mirror and the Sun reported that the claims were aired during a meeting of Tory MPs in Westminster the night before. The PA news agency understands the investigation centred on allegations that a Conservative watched the adult video in the Commons chamber, but could not immediately establish whether the MP was a frontbencher. A Conservative whips office spokeswoman said: “The chief whip is looking into this matter. “This behaviour is wholly unacceptable and action will be taken.” (Stefan Rousseau/PA) The meeting came amid reports that 56 MPs, including three Cabinet ministers, are facing allegations of sexual misconduct referred to the Independent Complaints and Grievances Scheme. It also follows outrage over the Mail On Sunday publishing “sexist” and disputed claims from unnamed Tory MPs that deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner tried to distract Boris Johnson with her legs during Prime Minister’s Questions. Tuesday’s meeting was attended by between 40 and 50 Tory MPs, including Mr Heaton-Harris, Tory party chairman Oliver Dowden and Commons Leader Mark Spencer, according to the Mirror. Former prime minister Theresa May was also said to have attended.

China to waive forex derivative trading fees for small companies SHANGHAI, April 27 (Reuters) - China will waive forex derivative trading fees for small companies to help them better hedge against currency risks in a virus-hit economy, the operator of China's interbank market said on Wednesday. The notice by the China Foreign Exchange Trading System (CFETS) came amid spiking volatility in the yuan, which plunged against the dollar over the past week amid worries about China's economic health, and the country's evaporating yield advantage. The move is aimed at "further supporting the real economy, and reducing companies' hedging costs," CFETS said. According to the notice, trading frees for derivatives including yuan forwards, swaps and options will be waived for two years. China's central bank has been encouraging companies to use derivatives to hedge risks, rather than make one-way bets on the yuan, as it deepens reforms of the yuan market and tolerates greater volatility.

Sheku Bayoh’s family ‘full of rage’ as they continue search for truth – lawyer The family of a man who died in police custody remain “full of rage” as they search for the truth about his death, their lawyer has said. Sheku Bayoh died in May 2015 after being restrained by officers who were responding to a call in Kirkcaldy, Fife. The gas engineer’s family have claimed race played a part in his death and criticised the subsequent investigation. A public inquiry, chaired by Lord Bracadale, is examining events surrounding the death of the 31-year-old, and will begin evidential hearings in May. Lawyer Aamer Anwar, who represents the Bayoh family, said they have remained “dignified but full of rage” over the past few years. Speaking in a video address to the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) conference in Aberdeen, he said: “They are not asking for anything special, just the truth, because without truth there can be no justice. “Last year, thousands marched for George Floyd, social media was awash with Black Lives Matter. Well what the family are saying is black lives matter in Scotland too.” Mr Anwar said families should never have to rely on their own efforts to make sure the full facts about deaths in police custody are established and that those responsible are held to account. However he said Mr Bayoh’s mother Aminata does not want her son to be remembered simply as someone who died following a struggle with police, but as a “wonderful” and “loving” man. He told the conference: “She says she wants people to think of her only son not as a man who died following a struggle with the police, she wants people to remember him as a bright young man who any parent would have been proud of. “He was a wonderful son, a wonderful brother, an uncle, a loving partner to Collette and a loving father to two young boys who will now grow up without a father. “Sadly he is not by any means the first man to die in police custody, but if anything I hope that Sheku’s name does not fade from memory, that one day the name of Sheku leaves us a legacy that his children can be proud of. “The dead cannot cry out for justice but it is the duty of the living to do so for them.” The best videos delivered daily Watch the stories that matter, right from your inbox

Oil producer Hess profit jumps 65% on surging crude prices April 27 (Reuters) - U.S. oil and gas producer Hess Corp reported a 65% rise in first-quarter profit on Wednesday, helped by a jump in energy prices due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Oil prices hit multi-year records during the quarter as the conflict in Ukraine led to sanctions against Russia, one of the biggest exporters of crude, creating a global supply crunch. Globally traded Brent crude was trading at around $105 per barrel on Wednesday and has risen about 36% this year. Hess said its average realized crude oil selling price rose to $86.75 per barrel, compared with $50.02 last year. Excluding Libya, the company said net production fell about 12% to 276,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the quarter due to output declines and unplanned downtime in the Gulf of Mexico. Hess Corp said net income attributable to the company rose to $417 million, or $1.34 per share, in the three months ended March 31, from $252 million, or 82 cents per share, last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is scrapping old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs, speeding an ongoing trend toward more efficient lighting that officials say will save households, schools and businesses billions of dollars a year. Rules finalized by the Energy Department will require manufacturers to sell energy-efficient light bulbs, accelerating a longtime industry practice to use compact fluorescent and LED bulbs that last 25 to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs. The Trump administration had slowed an earlier phaseout of incandescents, saying it was targeting rules that burden businesses. Once the new rules are fully in place next year, consumers should save nearly $3 billion per year on their utility bills, the Energy Department said. The rules are projected to cut planet-warming carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years, an amount equivalent to emissions generated by 28 million homes in one year, officials said. “By raising energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs, we’re putting $3 billion back in the pockets of American consumers every year and substantially reducing domestic carbon emissions,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement Tuesday. “The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future.” The new rules expand energy-efficiency requirements to more types of light bulbs and ban sale of bulbs that produce less than 45 lumens per watt — a measure of how much light is emitted for each unit of electricity. The Trump administration in 2019 had slowed a years-long push by Congress and past administrations to switch Americans to LED bulbs and other lighting that uses less electricity. Former President Donald Trump said in September 2019 that the Energy Department canceled a pending phaseout of incandescent bulbs because “what’s saved is not worth it.” Advocates hailed the latest rule change, saying it would ensure that commonly used light bulbs meet an easily achieved efficiency standard. “This is a victory for consumers and for the climate — one that’s been a long time coming,” said Steven Nadel, executive director of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a nonprofit organization that seeks to reduce energy waste and combat climate change. LED bulbs “have become so inexpensive that there’s no good reason for manufacturers to keep selling 19th-century technology that just isn’t very good at turning electrical energy into light,” Nadel said. The new standards “will finally phase out energy-wasting bulbs across the country.” Andrew deLaski, executive director of the Appliance Standards Awareness Project, said that while retailers will be able to sell inefficient bulbs until July 2023, “responsible chains ought to get them off their shelves as soon as possible and certainly by the end of this year.” In 2020, about 30% of light bulbs sold in the United States were incandescent or halogen incandescent bulbs, according to industry groups. The new rule bars the manufacture or importation of incandescent bulbs as of Jan. 1. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association said in a statement that LED lighting, “spurred by research scientists and lighting manufacturers,” has been fully embraced by consumers and is “an unqualified success.” The manufacturers group “appreciates the administration’s recognition of the challenges industry faces in complying” with the new rule and its “adoption of a more manageable compliance timeframe” than earlier proposals, said spokesman Spencer Pederson.

— Tencent Foundation Allocates 50 million Yuan to Support Rural Revitalization in the Southwestern City CHONGQING, China, April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing, a grand charity campaign has been launched to attract donations for charitable rural revitalization projects. As a partner, the Tencent Charity Foundation, established by Chinese Internet company Tencent (0700.HK), is setting aside 50 million yuan ($7.6 million) for gift matching to amplify netizen's donations. This is the first regional charity campaign supported by the Tencent Charity Foundation designated to rural revitalization. "Among all regional programs, the first one that came to mind is Chongqing," said Ge Yan, secretary-general of the Tencent Charity Foundation, noting the generosity of its residents. From April 27 to 29,2022, Chinese netizens can join the campaign by tapping the "Tencent Charity" mini program on the WeChat social media platform. Every donation that is at least 1 yuan could be matched by Tencent. In addition, the public can also invite their friends to join hands with them to support the campaign in many different forms, including online donations, charity quizzes and Tencent's ongoing Little Red flower online charity game. Chongqing ranks in the top ten among all Chinese cities for philanthropy, according to public records. This was reflected two years ago during Tencent's annual 99 Giving Day campaign, when Chongqing residents donated 328 million yuan to charity with 11.86 million donations. Both the amount and number of donations ranked first among Chinese cities. The Tencent Charity Foundation is the first charity foundation established by an Internet enterprise in China. As one of the first Internet charity information platforms approved by the China's Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Tencent Charity Foundation initiated the 99 Giving Day annual campaign in September 2015 and has grown the project into one of China's most influential charitable events. The mission statement of the Chongqing charity campaign is "Gather public welfare forces and support rural revitalization." According to Xu Haibo, deputy head of Chongqing's rural revitalization bureau, a total of 94 regional charitable units and social and nonprofit organizations participated in the campaign. They launched nearly 300 projects covering seven different areas, including industrial support, pensions, childcare, job seeking and environmental protection. New ideas were introduced to encourage the public to give. For example, in cooperation with Tencent, the Chongqing campaign organizer launched an interactive program on WeChat designed to make donating fun by referencing Chongqing's most famous food, hot pot. Donors are presented pictures of some popular hot pot dishes. After picking their favorite, a donation equal to the dish's price tag is donated to support rural revitalization projects. Tencent has been actively involved in using internet technology to transform the charity and philanthropy sector in China. With the help of internet technology, not only has the sector's infrastructure been strengthened, but also more Chinese people have been exposed to the mindset that "everyone can do philanthropy." Facing the future, the question of how to build a sustainable model to maintain long-lasting public participation in philanthropy will become a new topic for the Chinese philanthropy sector.

When properly taken care of, cast iron can last for generations. In fact, cast iron cookware is commonly passed down from parent to child. The Dutch oven is among the most versatile cast iron cookware. Of all the cast iron cookware brands, Lodge is hard to beat. The best Lodge cast iron Dutch oven is the Lodge Pre-Seasoned Dutch Oven. It is among the best-selling Lodge options and comes in four sizes. What to know before you buy a Lodge cast iron Dutch oven Capacity and shape Lodge offers many capacities and two shapes of its cast iron Dutch oven line. - Capacity: Lodge measures capacity in quarts, and its Dutch ovens typically come in sizes between 1 and 10 quarts. - Shape: Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens can be circular or oval. They both cook essentially the same, but foods that require extra length, such as fish or ribs, benefit from oval ovens. Aesthetics Most Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens look the same.

Some special bundles pair a skillet that doubles as the lid of the included Dutch oven. Others include accessories or cleaning kits. What to look for in a quality Lodge cast iron Dutch oven Lid Lodge cast iron Dutch oven lids have two aspects to check for: a handle and a seal. - Handle: Lid handles typically come in a loop or a knob shape. Loop handles need to have enough space to fit an oven mitt around them. Knobs need to be proportionately sized to your hand so that it’s easy for you to grab them. - Seal: The lid should create a tight seal around the edge of the Dutch oven, except for the spout on models that have them. Body handles Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens have a few types of body handles. The worst is a pan-like handle that protrudes outward. This option is challenging to manipulate. However, loop handles welded on the sides make it easy to manipulate the oven. Some also include a wire loop that attaches to the handles. This design is intended for campfire cooking, but you can remove the loop for use in a standard oven. Pre-seasoning Most Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens come pre-seasoned, meaning an initial layer of oil has already been applied. You’ll still need to season it many times over the years, but it’s a good first step. How much you can expect to spend on a Lodge cast iron Dutch oven Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens typically cost $30-$150. Prices are mainly affected by the size of the Dutch oven.

The proper way to clean cast iron is a point of contention among cooks. The basics are typically the same. Clean it right after you use it, and make sure it’s completely dry before storing it. Can I place a Lodge cast iron Dutch oven on my stovetop? A. Yes, its Dutch ovens can be used on any stovetop. That said, be gentle when moving them around a glass stovetop.

Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Top Lodge cast iron Dutch oven for the money Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Five-Piece Set and Care Kit What you need to know: This kit is the perfect way to stock up your kitchen.

The care kit includes a 6-ounce can of Ledge seasoning spray, a cleaning brush, a pan scraper, a handle holder and a care booklet.

What you’ll love: It’s available in 27 colors, including several shades of red and blue, plus it comes in six sizes.

CINCINNATI — The Reds might have lost another game, but at least fans at Great American Ball Park had the chance to see one amazing play. A father caught a foul ball from Padres catcher Luis Campusano with one hand while bottle-feeding his child during the fifth inning of the 9-6 loss. "Catching a foul ball while bottle-feeding the baby... just dad things," the Reds posted on Twitter. Catching a foul ball while bottle-feeding the baby... just dad things. pic.twitter.com/tTXL0oDquu — Cincinnati Reds (@Reds) April 27, 2022 Bally Sports Ohio broadcaster Jim Day interviewed the dad, Jacob Kingsley, alongside his wife Jordan and son Shepherd. "(Shepherd) probably didn't even know it was happening, but this will be a great memory to share with him," Jacob Kingsley said. "It's his first Reds game, so we have the certificate there too and so it'll be awesome." Jordan Kingsley said she had been reminding her husband to look out for foul balls all game, making sure their son wouldn't get hit. "He took the job seriously," Jordan Kingsley said. "Baby's happy, I'm happy and I'm just impressed." The couple said their friends and family were texting them as soon as he caught the ball. "Definitely some bragging rights there, too," Jacob Kingsley said. Kingsley's catch came after a brutal start by Reds pitcher Reiver Sanmartin. The 26-year-old allowed nine earned runs on eight hits in the first four innings. Second baseman Jonathan India returned to the lineup after a hamstring injury, scoring in the fifth. Outfielder Nick Senzel hit his first home run of the season in the ninth. The Reds are now 3-14.

UNDP in fresh bid to fence Kakamega forest The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has renewed the push to secure the Kakamega forest with a solar-powered electric fence. The fence will run 117km. The plan aims to conserve the forest’s biodiversity, which has been under threat from illegal activities that include indiscriminate felling of indigenous trees by loggers and charcoal makers. The forest is under intense pressure from local communities who depend on its resources for their livelihoods, including firewood and grazing their livestock. The activities have eroded its biodiversity, setting off alarm bells from environmentalists. The Kakamega forest is Kenya’s only surviving tropical rain forest, a vestige of the Guineo-Congolian rainforest that straddled the continent many years ago. The fencing plans were developed following consultations in 2014 between the Kakamega County government and Rhino Ark, a charitable trust. The project seeks to establish a partnership to promote the conservation of biodiversity and ecotourism and build the capacity of the local community to take part in the conservation campaign. The initial plan to erect an electric fence was disrupted by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. The project was to cost Sh500 million, with Rhino Ark contributing Sh156 million and the Kakamega and Vihiga county governments Sh100 million each. Other key stakeholders in the campaign include the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and community leaders. An environmental and social impact study gave the project a clean bill. The report said: “The project has more positive biophysical assessment impacts than negative ones. The forest is already surrounded by human activities with minimal natural habitat ecosystem connectivity hence insularisation of species is almost negligible.” It added: “There will be increased forest regeneration with less livestock and higher success of growth for planted trees. Better forest health will enhance species diversity and abundance. Minimal net loss of biodiversity in the short term but far higher biodiversity net gain in the long term after project implementation.” The UNDP team, led by Geoffrey Omedo, met Kakamega County Secretary James Ochami and announced they planned to provide funding under the Forestry and Lands Restoration Actions programme (FLRAP). Similar programme elswhere A similar programme is being implemented in three other counties – Kajiado, Narok, Elgeyo Marakwet. It focuses on conserving the environment and mitigating climate change. Mr Omedo said the UNDP has stepped in to fund the project that will protect the forest and restore the regeneration of the biodiversity. “The programme will entail the strengthening of the county’s capacity to conserve the forest and sensitise the community on the importance of protecting the water catchment,” said Mr Omedo. Mr Ochami said: “We need to learn from the false start by the county and other stakeholders who were part of the project to fence the forest. We need to correct the mistake we made and ensure the project is implemented successfully.” Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change Chief Officer Mr Eugene Milimo said the enactment of the Environment Management Act provided a framework for engagements with partners and made it easy to work with other partners including the UNDP. Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, when he met a team from the Tourism Fund last year, protested the delay in implementing the project and accused officials from the national government of frustrating the plan. Mr Alfonse Kioko, the chairman of the board of trustees of the Tourism Fund, promised to intervene to ensure the project was implemented.

Topline Russian authorities agreed to release Trevor Reed from jail Wednesday, freeing the Marine veteran who had been detained in Russia since 2020 over questionable charges in a case that captured the attention of President Joe Biden. Key Facts Reed’s release was confirmed by the White House Wednesday morning after initially being announced by the Russian Foreign Ministry as part of a reported prisoner exchange with a Russian citizen detained in the U.S. Russia said Reed was exchanged for Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian citizen who was sentenced to 20 years in American prison on cocaine trafficking charges in 2011 and has long been linked to a potential prisoner swap between the countries. Crucial Quote Biden said in a statement announcing Reed’s release: “Today, we welcome home Trevor Reed and celebrate his return to the family that missed him dearly. Trevor, a former U.S. Marine, is free from Russian detention.” Key Background During his imprisonment, Reed launched several hunger strikes to protest what he called unsafe living conditions, including inadequate treatment of his health conditions, including a possible tuberculosis infection. Reed was sentenced to a nine-year prison sentence in 2020 over a drunken incident involving Russian possible officers in a case and trial U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan deemed “absurd.” Biden met with Reed’s parents March 30 after they protested outside the White House, having earlier told the family he thinks of Reed nearly every day and said the rosary for him in a trip to Reed’s hometown. What To Watch For Any developments in the cases of the two other Americans known to be imprisoned in Russia, Marine veteran Paul Whelan and WNBA star Britney Griner. Biden said Wednesday the U.S. “won’t stop until Paul Whelan and others” are released.

CEO and Co-Founder of Extend, the digital payment infrastructure for financial institutions to enable modern card experiences. The concept of Uber is so familiar now that maybe we forgot how revolutionary the idea of hailing and paying for a cab from your phone was at the start. Without the need to find a cab on the street or plan ahead for a car service before fumbling for your wallet while the cars behind you honked to get around you, the customer experience was reimagined in a big way. The monumental shift to a seamless cab-hailing experience set a new precedent for travelers, transforming the entire industry. Today, there are countless examples of embedded payments changing our expectations: Apple Pay enables you to make online or in-app purchases with the passcode on your phone; you can swiftly finance a purchase during the checkout process; and you can order a movie right from your TV without having to reach for your wallet. Having spent the last 20 years immersed in the world of financial and payables processes, my career has almost come full circle. From working to evolve the financial tools within the corporate sector to developing solutions to serve commercial clients, I now sit at the intersection of the two with a keen understanding of the B2B payment ecosystem and the challenges both businesses and financial institutions are navigating—and watching companies like Uber revolutionize consumer experiences has been a reminder that there are still improvements to be made for corporate financial experiences. Now, as embedded payments become the norm in our personal lives, a report from IDC predicts that 74% of digital consumer payments globally will be conducted via platforms owned by nonfinancial institutions by 2030. As the industry evolves, I see two major trends to watch in the market: the growth of embedded B2B payments and the opportunity for financial institutions to work with fintech partners to support growing demand. Embedding Payments Into Back-End Business Processes There’s been an influx in financial technology solutions geared toward businesses of all sizes: neobanks offering modern finance solutions, expense management platforms focusing on seamless integrations and financial institutions racing to compete with fintechs focused on solving niche industry challenges. However, when it comes to further streamlining internal, back-end payment processes, why shouldn’t a finance manager have the same level of efficiency in their business tools that they do in their consumer lives? Now, that might be a bit of an exaggeration considering the complexity of managing corporate finances compared to your personal spending—but there’s certainly room for improvement. With the growth of banking as a service and open-access APIs, businesses now have the ability to leverage financial services technology to customize payment solutions for their needs. As the CEO of a company offering virtual cards, I’ve seen a number of companies streamline their employee procurement process, control spending limits and easily track and reconcile charges without manually reviewing every purchase. The key in modernizing your operation is to not be afraid of trial and error. Many companies get caught up looking for the perfect solution, only to dedicate an exorbitant number of resources to implementing something that ultimately doesn’t work. My advice would be to run small pilots with the solution or service before fully embedding it into your processes or committing the resources. Once your team feels confident in its value, you can begin to scale while simultaneously iterating on your processes to work out the kinks and ensure success. While it’s one thing to test the waters with different strategies, it’s equally important to assess the partnership at stake. Choosing solutions based on the feature set today doesn’t always guarantee long-term success. However, finding a partner that offers flexibility within their offerings and can help you adjust to changing demand could pay off. The Role Of Banks In Supporting The Growth Of Embedded B2B Payments It’s obvious that fintechs aren’t the only ones looking for access to financial services anymore—however, the technology has historically been inaccessible, even between leading financial institutions themselves. The IDC report states that 73% of financial institutions around the world have technology infrastructures for payments that are ill-equipped to handle payments for 2021 and beyond. Up until now, accessing the payment technology needed to embed features would require lengthy vendor-onboarding processes, addressing compliance concerns and navigating archaic technology of legacy infrastructure. Fortunately, fintech has created a new opportunity for banks looking to modernize their offerings. I’ve observed a growing number of requests for information from expense and procurement players, illustrating the demand and opportunity for banking services to be more integrated with core business software. However, banks often don’t have the resources, or access, to manage these integrations. Some are turning to fintech partners who are serving as a third party to aggregate a combination of services. (Disclosure: My company provides these services.) This way, software companies can easily tap into financial services, and banks can begin to modernize their suite of offerings. For banks, the opportunity isn’t to partner with every fintech, but rather to build an ecosystem conducive to collaboration. Creating flexible APIs for clients and third parties to easily access as many of your services as possible means banks don’t have to build and market every new solution or user experience, but anyone looking to build a custom payment solution can do so with the institution. Exposing APIs might sound the compliance alarms, but this is where those strategic fintech partnerships can come into play. Look for a partner to serve as an aggregator or gateway to your services and that can mitigate your onboarding efforts and associated risk concerns. The embedded payments industry is growing at a rapid pace, with revenues expected to grow from $43 billion in 2021 to $138 billion in 2026. As financial institutions are rethinking legacy systems and focusing on digital transformation, we’re seeing a broader range of embedded payment technologies becoming available to organizations of all sizes, opening the door for banks to offer new digital products to the small- and mid-market, as well as the enterprise.

Ballymena Livestock Market: Two animal welfare warnings in six months - Published Ballymena Livestock Market said it received two warnings about animal welfare in the last six months from the Department of Agriculture and Environment (Daera). It comes after it emerged that a former government vet raised concerns in 2017. Dr Tamara Bronckaers said she saw sheep kept at the market overnight with no food, water and little bedding. By law, sheep may be left overnight at a livestock market but must have bedding, water and food. Daera told The Nolan Show that after an initial warning letter was sent in 2017, officials conducted nine more unannounced inspections of the market in the period up to spring 2018. "The inspections confirmed that the livestock market operator had taken and maintained corrective actions and no welfare issues were detected during these nine inspections," the statement said. However, the market told The Nolan Show that it had received two warnings from the department in the last six months. It said it had been warned "of issues relating to overnight accommodation and the provision of feed for sheep". "These notifications occurred following routine inspections by Daera and no enforcement action was required by Daera on either occasion," it said. "Steps were taken immediately following each notification. This included meeting with the relevant staff to reinforce the importance of adhering to our work practices and procedures when overnight accommodation is unavoidable." BBC News NI has contacted Daera for comment. Former government vet Dr Bronckaers, who received a £1.25m settlement from the department, resigned in 2018. Concerns she raised about animal welfare and failures in traceability in the meat supply chain were not acted on. The department dropped its appeal against that decision earlier this month. On Monday, it issued a statement in which it apologised to Ms Bronckaers for the "hurt and distress caused". In a statement issued by her solicitors, McCartan Turkington Breen, Dr Bronckaers said the last few years had been "extremely harrowing", and she could now "move on in the knowledge that I did what was right". Dr Bronckaers had worked at the department for 19 years before she resigned in February 2018. The industrial tribunal heard she was regarded as an expert on livestock market legislation. Her responsibilities included livestock markets, biosecurity and zoonoses - diseases that can move between animals and humans. Dr Bronckaers had identified serious failings in animal welfare at some livestock markets, and the abuse of a process called "deleted moves". That was a process whereby a dealer would buy an animal, without having someone to immediately sell it on to. The move was allowed to be deleted when the animal did not leave the market before being sold on. But Dr Bronckaers found out that the animal would sometimes leave the market to join the dealer's herd for a period of time before a buyer was found, and that move would then be deleted from the section of the tracing system that was visible in markets. It remained in the section visible at departmental level. Animals with fewer moves in their history are more valuable. That, Dr Bronckaers claimed, could affect the traceability of meat within the food supply chain and have an impact on the spread of disease in cattle, in particular tuberculosis. She told the tribunal that 4,800 to 5,000 animals were having their moves deleted out of livestock markets every year. - 24 September 2021 - 1 day ago

Bridgeport police say preliminary reports show up to four unattended kids were seen playing with gasoline and lighting things on fire. It happened on Sunday at around 3:48 p.m. The child's mother says her son, Dominick Krankall, wasn't playing with fire, and instead was the victim of bullying. "My son has been bullied by this child for a year. That day, they purposefully threw a gasoline-saturated ball that they lit on fire at my son's face. They called his name so he would turn around. They threw it at Dominick and left him outside alone to die," said Maria Rua, Dominick's mother. She says Dominick suffered second and third-degree burns to his face and leg. "His face is about twice the size it normally is," Rua said. "He's swollen with blisters. You can't even see his beautiful eyes anymore." He's expected to remain hospitalized for a few more days, according to his mother. "He's a strong boy though, he's coping," Rua said. For what he's going through, watching him have to get those bandages off and his face scraped is painful for him and it's painful for me to watch that and it's not fair to him." Rua said her son should make a full recovery and have minimal scarring. "The incident is currently still under investigation as to the exact cause of the burn injuries by the Bridgeport Police, Bridgeport Fire and State Fire Investigation Teams," a statement from Bridgeport police said.

In the 45 minutes after his phone first rang with the news he’d be heading to New York, Kevin Brown’s mind wasn’t on baseball. It would get there, with excitement at the prospect of calling his first televised baseball game at a stadium he used to visit while growing up. But first, there were more pressing worries for Brown, the lead Orioles play-by-play commentator on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, and his wife. He didn’t expect that call, the one telling him he’d be calling Tuesday’s game against the Yankees in under 24 hours. Brown and his wife had to figure out whether they’d take the train or their car and who would take care of their dog. Only then, with those logistics straightened out, did Brown shift his attention to the next night’s broadcast. “Now I just have to call a baseball game,” Brown said Tuesday afternoon on the field at Yankee Stadium. “What could be easier than that?” It hadn’t been so easy in past years, when Brown called games off television monitors at Camden Yards even with the team on the road. And entering 2022, the Orioles and Nationals — which both air on the Orioles-owned MASN — were the lone sets of commentators still doing virtual broadcasts. But at 8:30 Monday night, Brown received a call from Adam Martiyan, a coordinating producer at MASN, telling him to pack a bag. It was an unexpected turn of events. For Brown, though, in his first year as the Orioles’ lead play-by-play broadcaster, the prospect of calling his first in-person road game in three years was made more special by the location of that road game, where the Long Island native used to come to games with his father. “It feels weirdly appropriate that it’s this city, this park,” Brown said. “Makes it more special.” Brown is a self-described subscriber to coachspeak. He focuses on the day-to-day process, on what he and his wife will eat for lunch in an hour. His wife, by inverse, is more concerned with where the couple’s kids will spend Christmas in five years — “and we don’t have kids,” he added. But even Brown, a stringent day-at-a-time observer, admits his first Opening Day at Camden Yards this season sticks with him. He arrived early, walked through the concourse and saw more fans in the stadium than there have been since he joined MASN in 2019. He soaked in the atmosphere, the orange carpet, the introductions. That’s as big-picture as the 32-year-old allows himself to get. “That felt like a moment,” Brown said. “That was a capital ‘M’ moment that I’m lucky to have, because in four years here, being a part-time person, I never had the chance to call the home opener. … That was probably the moment that I was most like, ‘This is something special.’” By the time the new Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, Brown’s dreams of playing shortstop on that field were remnants of the past, a younger self yet to learn the limited prospects of making the majors as a player. Instead, his vision had shifted to the broadcast booth — an equally challenging prospect, but one he proved capable of achieving. Still, his first full season as the primary play-by-play commentator started out with various trials. He had grown accustomed to calling games virtually the past few years, but there were still aspects that left some of the viewing experience wanting. Against the Angels last week, for instance, there was a ball hit down the line that Brown thought hit fair, judging off an initial camera angle as he called the game from the other side of the country. He was shocked when it wasn’t, and he was equally shocked the Orioles didn’t challenge the call. “I’m sure if we were in the park, we would’ve looked right down the line and seen it was foul,” Brown said. “But the camera angle was a little off center.” Other technical difficulties have cropped up, too. During one spring training game, an on-site MASNsports.com reporter called the game because of technical difficulties. Brown highlighted how there was a noticeable delay on the feed compared to the voices and an echo was present. “I would have to imagine that played a part in the calculus [to travel again], but I don’t know,” Brown said. “Nobody said, ‘You’re going for ‘X’ reason.’” Whatever prompted MASN to send Brown and color analyst and Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer to New York doesn’t matter to Brown so much as the fact they’re in the Bronx at all. There’s the personal connection to the stadium he visited growing up. But there’s also the professional competitiveness Brown has, the one that drives him each night to make the broadcast as “informative and entertaining” as possible. When he’s virtual, that’s still the goal. But when in person, that goal is only more easily attainable. “We have the tools to put together a great broadcast, and this is going to make a huge difference,” Brown said. “I kind of feel overwhelmed with gratitude that we get to be here, and I think people are going to notice it. I really do.” ()

CHERNOBYL, Ukraine (AP) — Thirty-six years after the world’s worst nuclear disaster, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday that Russian troops risked causing an accident with their “very, very dangerous” seizure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Standing under an umbrella during a rain shower outside the damaged plant, agency Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi said that while radiation levels are normal, the situation is still “not stable.” Nuclear authorities have to “keep on alert.” Russian troops moved into the radiation-contaminated Chernobyl exclusion zone in February on their way toward the Ukrainian capital. They withdrew late last month as Russia pulled its forces from areas near Kyiv and switched its focus to fighting in eastern Ukraine. The site has been back in Ukrainian hands since then, and disrupted communications have been restored. Ukrainian officials have said the Russian occupiers held plant workers at gunpoint during a marathon shift of more than a month, with employees sleeping on tabletops and eating just twice a day. Grossi congratulated the workers on mitigating potential risks during the occupation, including power disruptions. “I don’t know if we were very close to disaster, but the situation was absolutely abnormal and very, very dangerous,” he said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, noting the Chernobyl anniversary on Twitter, said that “not everyone realized” the dangers of nuclear energy. “Now Russia’s actions at Ukrainian nuclear power plants threaten humanity with a new catastrophe.” An April 26, 1986, explosion and fire at Chernobyl sent radioactive material into the atmosphere, and the plant became a symbol of the Soviet Union’s stumbling final years. The international community, including Russia, spent billions to stabilize and secure the area. The unit where the explosion and fire took place was sheathed in a state-of-art encasement. The dangers at the plant are ongoing, however, because spent nuclear fuel rods require round-the-clock maintenance. The fuel is from the plant’s four reactors, all now shut down. Russian forces continue to hold a working nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, in southern Ukraine. Fighting damaged the training facility of the Zaporizhzhia plant in early March. Zelenskyy said in a Kyiv news conference with Grossi that peacekeepers should be sent to protect the Zaporizhzhia plant because “the risk of disaster exists also from missiles launched from Russia which fly over nuclear plants.” In his nightly video address to his nation, Zelenskyy added that Russian forces had fired missiles just over Zaporizhzhia and two other Ukrainian nuclear power plants on Tuesday, and called for international control over Russian nuclear technology and facilities. An Associated Press reporter who visited Chernobyl this month saw evidence that Russian soldiers dug trenches in the forested Chernobyl exclusion zone in the earliest hours of the invasion, churning up highly contaminated soil. IAEA team members who were at the site Tuesday to make repairs and do assessments carried black suitcases from their vans into Chernobyl’s buildings. They were bringing dosimeters and other radiation monitoring equipment, Grossi said. “There is a lot of work to be done after the occupation of this plant,” he said. “We have to do some repair work so we can restore the connectivity that we have with Vienna, so we can provide good information to the Ukrainian people, to the rest of the world.” The International Atomic Energy Agency, the world’s nuclear watchdog, is based in Austria’s capital. During the Russian occupation, Chernobyl lost its normal electricity supply. Plant workers relied on diesel generators to support the critical work of circulating water to cool the spent nuclear fuel. Asked whether the dangers posed by the Russian occupation were similar to the ones following the original Chernobyl accident, Grossi replied: “On that occasion, you had an explosion, you had an operating reactor. The situation was completely different. In this case, what we had was a nuclear safety situation which was not normal, that could have developed into an accident.” Responding to public concerns about the risks of nuclear power during wars, Grossi told reporters the problem was “not nuclear energy. The problem is the war.” ___ Anna reported from Kyiv, Ukraine. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the war in Ukraine: https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine

JERUSALEM (AP) — Billionaire Moshe Kantor has severed his longstanding ties to Tel Aviv University — joining a growing list of Russian Jewish oligarchs who have scaled back their philanthropic activities after coming under international sanctions for their ties to President Vladimir Putin. The sanctions have shaken up the world of Jewish philanthropy, which relies heavily on deep-pocketed donors like Kantor, and forced a number of prominent organizations to abruptly end partnerships with their benefactors since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Kantor, a Russian fertilizer magnate who also holds British citizenship, served as the longtime president of the European Jewish Congress, emerging as an outspoken fighter against antisemitism. He founded or led a number of other important Jewish causes, including the World Holocaust Forum, served on the council of Israel’s national Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem and helped inaugurate the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University. But after the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on Kantor early this month, he abruptly stepped down from the European Jewish Congress after 15 years at the helm. Tel Aviv University confirmed this week that Kantor’s name had been removed from the Jewish studies center, just days before it was to release its annual report on global antisemitism. A statement issued through a spokeswoman said that Kantor had asked to suspend ties with a number of organizations on his own initiative. “Dr. Kantor voluntarily stepped back with immediate effect from active involvement in the European Jewish Congress, the World Holocaust Forum Foundation and the Kantor Center in order not to distract from the important work of these organization,” the statement said. Kantor, whose net worth is estimated by Forbes to be $4.6 billion, joins a number of wealthy Russian-Jewish businessmen to be sanctioned by the West over their purported ties to Putin. Yad Vashem last month said it was suspending a reported donation of tens of millions of dollars from Roman Abramovich, owner of the Chelsea Football Club, after he was sanctioned by the U.K. and European Union. It cited “recent developments.” Three other oligarchs who have been sanctioned by the West — Mikhail Fridman, Petr Aven and German Khan — abruptly resigned from the Genesis Philanthropy Group last month. In an email sent to its supporters, the group said the men had left “in order to assure the ability of GPG to stay true to its mission.” It made no mention of the sanctions. The group funds projects to strengthen Jewish communities and causes around the world. The three men were also involved in the founding of the Genesis Prize — an annual award established with a $100 million endowment that recognizes a person for professional achievements and commitment to Jewish values. Past winners of the $1 million prize have included actor Michael Douglas, filmmaker Steven Spielberg and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. This year’s laureate is Albert Bourla, the chief executive of drug maker Pfizer, who is expected to come to Jerusalem in June for an award ceremony. The oligarchs have claimed the sanctions are unfair. Some, such as Fridman, have even spoken out against the Russian war against Ukraine, while Abramovich has tried to position himself as a would-be peacemaker between the warring countries. Ariel Muzicant, the interim president of the European Jewish Congress, said the organization was shocked by the sanctions against Kantor, who he said “has dedicated his life to the fight against antisemitism, Holocaust commemoration and the security of Europe’s Jewish communities.” “It is very sad and disturbing that Dr. Kantor, who has unparalleled contribution to the fight against antisemitism and the flourishing of Jewish life in Europe for over 15 years, has been sanctioned with no evidence-based merit, causing great damage to many people and organizations,” he said. Many Jewish oligarchs have close ties with Israel, spending time in the country and even holding citizenship. That has created a delicate situationfor the country, which was established as a safe haven for Jews but also has close ties with the West, especially the U.S. Israeli leaders have said they will not allow the country to be used to circumvent international sanctions, though some oligarchs have reportedly been spending increased time in Israel. Abramovich, who took Israeli citizenship in 2018, has recently been spotted at Israel’s international airport, for instance. Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi, a Jewish American philanthropist, said the troubles of the oligarchs have created “an enormous challenge for the nonprofits that rely on their goodwill.” She likened the crisis to the period after the downfall of financier Bernie Madoff, who squandered the fortunes of many Jewish charities in a massive ponzi scheme in the late 2000s. She said that many charitable groups, suddenly robbed of funding sources, were forced to close, consolidate or lay off workers. Mizrahi said a discussion among professionals in the philanthropic world over the origins of donor money “is going on in a very big way.” But she said that given the controversial origins of so many fortunes over the decades, going back to industrialists like Henry Ford or Andrew Carnegie, she believes it is more important to make sure that charitable funds are distributed effectively. She said it is especially critical that the recipients of charitable programs play a role in their decisions. “The best solution is not to say I won’t take the money from A, B, C or D individual,” she said. Instead, she said the goal should be to use the money “in the best way to make the world a better place.” But Anshel Pfeffer, a columnist with the Haaretz daily, wrote recently that the oligarchs have “polluted institutions with their dirty money.” He said the war in Ukraine is a “ rude awakening to the breadth and depth of the effect of the oligarch class on the organizational climate of the Jewish world.”

Studies Showed Sustained Reduction in LDL-C With no new Safety Findings The Combined Studies Evaluated Safety and Tolerability of Repatha in More Than 6,600 Patients for Over Five Years After Completing the Phase 3 FOURIER Trial Repatha is the Longest Studied PCSK9i THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced top-line results from two Repatha® (evolocumab) open label extension (OLE) studies to the Phase 3 FOURIER cardiovascular outcomes trial. The studies were designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of Repatha over five years in adults with clinically evident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The FOURIER-OLE (Further cardiovascular OUtcomes Research with PCSK9 Inhibition in Subjects with Elevated – Risk-Open Label Extension) studies were composed of study 20130295 (NCT02867813) with 5,035 patients enrolled in Eastern Europe and the United States and study 20160250 (NCT03080935) with 1,600 patients enrolled in Western Europe. Both studies showed that Repatha, administered at 140 mg every two weeks or 420 mg monthly, was safe and well-tolerated. In the OLE studies, patients received Repatha for approximately 5 years, with some patients receiving Repatha for up to 8 1/2 years in aggregate across the FOURIER and OLE studies. No new long-term safety findings were observed. In addition, medically significant and sustained reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were observed, with more than 85 percent of patients achieving an LDL-C level of <40 mg/dL during the OLE period. "The combined results from these studies reinforce the well-established safety profile of Repatha with long-term use in lowering LDL-C," said David M. Reese, M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. "As the PCSK9i leader, with more than one million patients worldwide who have received Repatha, we are extremely encouraged by the sustained benefit of this effective medicine for patients with cardiovascular disease who still struggle to get their LDL-C level below recommended goals." Other study measures included exploratory analyses of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, total cholesterol, Lipoprotein(a), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A-1 levels, as well as cardiovascular events of interest. Detailed study results will be shared with regulatory authorities and submitted for presentation at an upcoming medical congress later this year. Prolonged LDL-C reduction with Repatha is also being studied in the ongoing VESALIUS-CV (NCT03872401) outcomes trial. Repatha® Cardiovascular Open-Label Extension (FOURIER-OLE) Study Design FOURIER (20110118) was a randomized placebo-controlled study of evolocumab, in patients with clinically evident atherosclerotic CVD on stable effective statin therapy. FOURIER-OLE (Further cardiovascular OUtcomes Research with PCSK9 Inhibition in Subjects with Elevated – Risk-Open Label Extension) were multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) studies designed to assess the extended long-term safety of evolocumab in subjects who completed the FOURIER study (20110118). The FOURIER-OLE is composed of studies 20130295 and 20160250, which enrolled 5,035 and 1,600 subjects who completed FOURIER study (20110118) to receive open-label evolocumab and were followed up for a median of 5 and 4.6 years, respectively. PROFICIO Program FOURIER is part of Amgen's PROFICIO (Program to Reduce LDL-C and cardiovascular Outcomes Following Inhibition of PCSK9 In different pOpulations) program of clinical studies investigating the impact of Repatha® on LDL-C and CVD across multiple populations at high CV risk, including those managed by statins, statin-intolerant patients, those with genetic disorders and patients with atherosclerosis.

About Repatha® (evolocumab) Repatha® is a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Repatha® binds to PCSK9 and inhibits circulating PCSK9 from binding to the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR), preventing PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation and permitting LDLR to recycle back to the liver cell surface. By inhibiting the binding of PCSK9 to LDLR, Repatha® increases the number of LDLRs available to clear LDL from the blood, thereby lowering LDL-C levels. Repatha® is approved in more than 75 countries, including the U.S., Japan, Canada and in all 28 countries that are members of the European Union. Applications in other countries are pending. INDICATIONS Repatha® is indicated: - In adults with established cardiovascular disease to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary revascularization - As an adjunct to diet, alone or in combination with other low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC)-lowering therapies, in adults with primary hyperlipidemia, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), to reduce LDL-C - As an adjunct to diet and other LDL-C-lowering therapies in pediatric patients aged 10 years and older with HeFH, to reduce LDL-C - As an adjunct to other LDL-C-lowering therapies in adults and pediatric patients aged 10 years and older with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), to reduce LDL-C The safety and effectiveness of Repatha® have not been established in pediatric patients with HeFH or HoFH who are younger than 10 years old or in pediatric patients with other types of hyperlipidemia. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Contraindication: Repatha® is contraindicated in patients with a history of a serious hypersensitivity reaction to evolocumab or any of the excipients in Repatha®.

PHOENIX — After coming in just shy of the triple-digit mark on Tuesday, temperatures are backing away from the triple digits as they trend down the next few days. Winds are picking up the next couple of days too as a pair of disturbances pass to our north. Valley highs will fall back into the mid 90s today and low 90s Thursday and Friday. Winds will stay breezy in the Valley with peak gusts near 25 mph today and 30 mph on Thursday. It will get windy across northern Arizona with gusts near 40 mph by this afternoon and up to 45 mph on Thursday. That's going to increase fire danger quite a bit as conditions stay dry. A Fire Weather Warning is in effect for northeastern Arizona today and Fire Weather Watches have been issued for Thursday across much of northern Arizona and along the Mogollon Rim. _________________________________________ 2022 Rainfall totals: Sky Harbor Official Rainfall: 0.55" (-2.23" from average) Valley Average (Phoenix Rainfall Index): 0.71" __________________________________________ Daily rainfall reports from all across the Valley can be found here. __________________________________________ PHOENIX IS GETTING DRIER - LOWER RAINFALL AVERAGES NOW Average Monsoon Rainfall in Phoenix (1981-2010): 2.71" of rain NEW Average Monsoon Rainfall in Phoenix (1991-2020): 2.43" of rain Average Yearly Rainfall in Phoenix (1981-2010): 8:03" of rain NEW Average Yearly Rainfall in Phoenix (1991-2020): 7.22" of rain __________________________________________ Share your weather photos and videos with us anytime.

Delta Air Lines has become first major US airline to pay flight attendants for ‘boarding time’ (representative image). Photograph:( Reuters ) Earlier, flight attendants were only paid once the aircraft doors were closed. The payout will be made from June 2, CNBC said citing a company memo. This comes as a recent effort for unionisation of flight attendants has gained popularity In a major landmark decision, Delta Air Lines in the US has decided to pay flight attendants for ‘boarding time’. It is the time when passengers enter the aircraft before take-off. The airline, which has become the first major US airline to do so, will pay half of the hourly rates of the flight attendants when customers board. Earlier, flight attendants were only paid once the aircraft doors were closed. The payout will be made from June 2, CNBC said citing a company memo.

This comes as a recent effort for unionisation of flight attendants has gained popularity. Till now, around 20,000 flight attendants of the Delta are not unionised, unlike other big air carriers in the US, the outlet said. Watch: US' missile destroyer sailed through Taiwan strait, US clarifies on warship sailing In 2019, a campaign of a union was started by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA). It is seeking to organise and hold a mass unionisation. This association is currently represented by the cabin crews of other major airlines like Spirit Airlines, Alaska Airlines, United Airlines and Frontier Airlines. In a statement on Monday, the AFA, said, "As we get closer to filing for our union vote, management is getting nervous. Today, let’s celebrate that our organising is pushing management to do more than they would have without being challenged. And let’s double down on our campaign, so we can secure a contract that locks in all of these benefits." WATCH WION LIVE HERE (With inputs from agencies)
