'FIRED by social media!' Furious Cinderella cast slam Andrew Lloyd-Webber for 'not telling them' the West End musical had been cancelled - after discovering the news on Twitter
- The cast of Cinderella have slammed Andrew Lloyd Webber over his move to shut down London musical
- Lloyd Webber is facing allegations that he announced the decision via social media before telling staff
- Cast member Summer Strallen claimed she had turned down a 'big job' for a role in Cinderella
- Lloyd Webber's Cinderella in Covent Garden has suffered Covid-related disruption since the start

Britain's theatre industry has blasted Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'utterly gross' decision to shut down his Cinderella musical in London after less than a year - as the West End impresario fights claims he announced the cancellations via Twitter before telling his staff.
Cinderella cast members railed against Lloyd Webber on social media yesterday after he announced that the show - which is being staged at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in Covent Garden and has suffered Covid-related disruption right from the start - will close on June 12.
Last July, Lloyd Webber - whose musical hits include The Phantom Of The Opera, Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar - said he was determined to open his Cinderella in London's West End, and had at that stage ignored 'siren voices' suggesting he moves it to Broadway.
However, it has emerged that the composer, 74, intends to launch the musical in Broadway instead, with previews for the show beginning in February next year.
Lloyd Webber is now facing claims that he announced the decision to scrap the London production less than a year after it opened without telling his staff. Deadline reported the cast were told of the closure before going on stage on Sunday night in a message that said: 'Some of you will already know, we've just informed the creative/production teams, cast, crew and band and a statement will be released to the press and on social media shortly.
'Thank you for your immeasurable contribution to the show. We should all be very proud of Cinderella and all that we have achieved together, and we look forward to our paths crossing again before too long.'
Actress Summer Strallen said in a long video on Instagram that she had had a wig fitting recently ahead of her taking over the role of The Queen from Rebecca Trehearn, and claimed she had only found out the show was cancelled when a friend sent her an article on Sunday.
The theatre star, whose parents Sandy Strallen and Cherida Langford both performed in the original London production of Cats, and whose aunt is Bonnie Langford, also said that she had turned down a 'big job' elsewhere for the role in Cinderella.
Carrie Hope Fletcher, who is playing the titular role of Cinderella, appears to have claimed via Twitter that she was only told about the show's cancellation 'via other cast members and a member of the music team'. In the post, which appears to have since been deleted, she added: 'I had no official call from the company to let me know before it was posted online'.
In a later tweet, Fletcher said: 'I don't think I have the words. And if I did I would probably be advised not to say them. Sending love to all impacted by today's news and by how that news was delivered'.
Strictly Come Dancing finalist and chef John Whaite expressed his heartbreak at the news as he was due to join the cast in July and take over the role of Prince Charming.
Whaite said in a message on his Instagram Stories: 'This is heartbreaking news. For me because I was due to take the role of Prince Charming in July, but more so for the current cast, band and production team who have battled through Covid to bring a brilliant new show to the stage.
'My heart goes out to each and every one of them.
'I was lucky enough to watch Cinderella in December 2021 and it was one of the most wonderful musicals I've seen in a long time. I was so excited to join the cast, it was a lifelong dream come true, but sadly it isn't to be right now. Who knows what the future will hold - I won't lose hope.'
Everybody's Talking About Jamie star Jordan Cunningham raged: 'The theatre industry is truly crumbling. Nobody is safe. @OfficialALW @ALWCinderella - disgusting behaviour; your upcoming cast, your current cast and crew finding out through social media; or their agents finding out 2 mins before publication that it's closing; utterly gross'.

Composer Sam Young thundered: 'And I'm sorry but how f**king DARE he already brag about a Broadway run when the current and incoming cast of incredible UK talent has barely had a second to process the news'.
The All That Dazzles account tweeted: 'Cinderella has been one giant s**tshow from before it had even opened. And I'm not talking about how poorly written it was and how the cast worked a miracle to even make it watchable. The way that cast have been treated by ALW time and time again is so awful, it breaks my heart'.
Actress Katie Ramshaw tweeted: 'Disgusted. A whole new cast waiting for rehearsals and found out they won't be anymore from social media... I have no words'.
One social media claimed: 'This West End Cinderella cancellation is crazy. I mean, whether you enjoyed the show or not, cancelling the remaining dates and not letting the current cast or the new cast know about it is disgusting. Is there no respect for actors in Andrew Lloyd Webber's team?'.
Another added: 'But honestly - after the shambles that is how Andrew Lloyd Webber treated everyone involved in Cinderella no one should touch his work. No one should audition for his shows. Theatre creatives deserve so much better, no matter how much you wanna get work, don't do it'.
MailOnline has approached representatives for Lloyd Webber for comment.
The Cinderella premiere took place in August last year, having been scheduled to take place the previous month but delayed due to Covid isolation protocols.
The show opened with an audience capacity of 50% after the impresario rejected Prime Minister Boris Johnson's offer for the show to be included in the coronavirus live events pilot scheme. Then in December, Cinderella was stopped due to 'Covid-related absences', alongside London productions of hit musicals Hamilton and The Lion King.
At the time, Lloyd Webber said it is 'simply heartbreaking' to see the theatre industry 'decimated' by Omicron cancellations, adding 'no-one in the Government listens'.
He postponed Cinderella until 2022 'to avoid more disruption' as the number of Covid-19 cases increased across the country.
Writing in the Mail in December, Lloyd Webber had said: 'It has been a terrible few days and it is getting worse. It is simply heartbreaking for me to see our industry decimated by a situation beyond all of our control.
'Of course, the entire industry is having the same nightmare - from huge extravaganzas such as Cinderella, with a massive cast and endless costume changes, to small and local theatres, many showing our beloved pantomimes, in city centres up and down the country.
'Not to mention all the hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and thousands of others who rely on us to bring people into town and city centres.

'I am nearly 74 and desperate to get back to writing again. Instead, for the last year and a half, I have been campaigning for the commercial theatre industry.
'But in the end, I have come to the conclusion that no one in the Government listens. Certainly not the new Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries, who has made it abundantly clear that she doesn't think commercial theatre needs any support.
'It's a difficult message for all the industries, jobs and people who are now lurching from day to day to hear from someone who is supposed to be a Tory minister representing the arts.'
In a statement yesterday, Lloyd Webber said: 'I am incredibly proud of Cinderella. Not only did it get some of the best reviews of my career, but we led the charge to reopen the West End, ensuring that theatre and live entertainment remained relevant and in the news.
'While mounting a new show in the midst of Covid has been an unbelievable challenge, we held the Government's feet to the flames throughout their changes of heart during the pandemic.
'Now, I am really excited to get to work putting together a new production with No Guarantees (Christine Schwarzman, President, Darren Johnston, Executive Vice President) for Broadway. Thank you very much to everyone involved, particularly our UK audiences who have loved and supported the show. See you next March on Broadway!'.
The website for the show says anyone who has tickets booked for after June 12 will not lose their money.
In the frequently asked questions section of the website, under a question about bookings after June 12, it says: 'If you have booked directly through our website or LW Theatres, you will be contacted shortly to discuss your options, but don't worry, if you're unable to make an alternative performance, you will not lose your money.
'As you can imagine, the box office team are busy rebooking everyone, so please don't contact them until they've contacted you.
'If you have booked via a ticket agent, they will be in contact with you in the next few days.'
Written by The Crown star Emerald Fennell and starring Carrie Hope Fletcher, Cinderella is described as a 'complete reinvention' of the classic fairytale, and is based on an original idea by Fennell.

With the 2022 NFL Draft in the books following three days of player selections in Las Vegas last week, pundits and fans alike are combing over the 262 picks to get a hot take on “who won the Draft?”.
As sports fans we crave immediate analysis but trying to suggest who “won” a draft so soon after it has taken place is a pretty pointless exercise. We have no idea which players will go one to meet or exceed potential and who will fall drastically short and be labelled a “bust”. In truth, a draft can only be properly analysed 10 years or longer after it has taken place.
One team many are suggesting did do well in this year’s draft though is the Baltimore Ravens. Such analysis is predicated on the fact that the Ravens managed to take numerous players in slots later than they were projected to go. Essentially, they are said to have made some of the best value player selections. However, I believe the Ravens actually lost this year’s draft and I don’t need to wait 10 years to explain why.
During the coveted first round on Thursday evening, one of the biggest headlines of the night emerged as the Ravens, live on TV and completely out of the blue, traded their best Wide Receiver, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for the 23rd pick of the draft. Whether you believe Brown was worth a first-round pick or not is by the by for me, because once the trade was announced, Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens Quarterback, immediately took to Twitter to tweet out his anger at the breaking news.
He posted “WTF” and retweeted a post which read “WHAT THE F*****G F**K BRO! WE TRADED AWAY HOLLYWOOD”. The next day he doubled down on his displeasure by quote tweeting the Arizona Cardinals announcement post-trading for Brown and adding two shocked emojis and a red-faced swearing emoji.
Jackson’s reaction, accidentally or otherwise, has created a toxic situation for the Ravens, in which the team, the new recruits and the fans are seeing their franchise’s leader openly undermining the decisions of the owners and coaches.
What do you think? Have your say here
The synergy between a Quarterback and his coaches is a key to success in American Football and Jackson has sown the seeds of disharmony for the 2023 season, five months before it has even begun. And on Saturday, to make Jackson’s actions look even more foolish, it emerged that Brown had actually sought the trade himself!
The Ravens are too astute of a franchise to send their young, former MVP signal-caller packing for overstepping the mark, but they should address the situation quickly. Jackson should also publicly apologise once he has had time to reflect on his actions and consider their far-reaching consequences.
The Baltimore Ravens are a respected franchise, with a history of stability and a successful head coach entering his 15th year with the team; they shouldn’t allow themselves to become a franchise where off-field disharmony, fuelled by a diva Quarterback hinders a talented rosters success – just look at the Green Bay Packers to see how that can turn out!

Passport backlog chaos could cost Brits £1.1 BILLION: Families face losing £2,400 for cancelled summer holidays if they don't get passports back in time
- In Covid years, over 5m people delayed getting a passport as not planning travel
- Now international travel has resumed, people needing passports has exploded
- Delays hit Passport Office says people should apply 10 weeks before travelling
- It is estimated UK consumers will lose £1.1 billion due to holiday cancellations
UK holidaymakers struggling to get passports ahead of trips abroad are set to lose £1.1 billion due to holiday cancellations, study claims.
The Passport Office has already warned travellers that they should apply 10 weeks before going on holiday as it is revealed that families could lose around £2,400-each if they cannot travel without valid documentation.
The Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) puts the blame on 'inefficiencies' in the government department and more demand after a return to international travel post-Covid.
In 2020 and 2021, more than five million people delayed applying for a renewal as they were not planning international travel in the midst of the pandemic.
But now that international travel is back to normal, the number of people applying for passport renewals has surged and just under one million holidaymakers are at risk due to the delays.
The news comes as the Passport Renewal website also crashed last week and was experiencing issues this morning.
The urgent passport service also would not let you book an appointment online or by telephone today.

Today's urgent passport renewal service website would not let you book an appointment online and told you not to call
Renewal chaos believed to be the tip of the iceberg has already left 700,000 applications still awaiting clearance.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was said last week to be 'horrified' at the backlog with a senior Government source saying he was ready to 'privatise the arse' out of the passport office.
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told the Commons on Wednesday of two constituents who 'fear their honeymoon may now be wrecked because their passports haven't arrived, even though they applied in plenty of time'.
She added: 'We've had cases of people cancelling jobs, parents trying to get holiday for a sick child waiting since January, huge long delays by the Passport Office and by the contractor TNT.'
Home Office minister Kevin Foster said anyone heading overseas this summer should submit passport applications as soon as possible.
He added the Government is 'confident' it will not need to extend the 10-week target for processing requests.

A passport worker also told The I last week that the office is trying to hire 1,700 more staff, but 'haven't realised anything like that number' due to difficulties recruiting on 'low wages and temporary contracts'.
French-owned private firm Teleperformance, contracted to run the Passport Office's contact centre, was ordered to hire more people to ease 'unacceptable delays'.
The Home Office has a £22.8million five-year contract with the private firm to provide 'contact centre services' including a 'passport advice service for HM Passport Office'.
People trying to get in touch with the Passport Office are also being left waiting two weeks for urgent calls back, with an employee at the agency blaming 'terrible management'.
Speaking to The Times, the employee said the agency's helpline is a 'shambles' which has led to 'countless' people missing their holidays.
Britons applying for a new passport are facing further issues with the website reportedly crashing as people seek to get their passports renewed.
The number of valid UK passports fell by more than 2.5 million during the first two calendar years of the Covid-19 pandemic as people delayed applications.
A total of 48.9 million passports were in circulation at the end of last year – 2.6 million fewer than at the end of 2019.
This is an abrupt change from the period before the pandemic, which had seen passport numbers rise from 50.0 million in December 2017 to 51.5 million two years later.
They show that an average of 559,000 UK passports were printed each month in 2019, but this dropped to 329,000 in 2020 and recovered only slightly to 402,000 in 2021.
Some 967,000 passports were printed across November and December last year, however.
In 2020 and 2021, more than five million people delayed applying for a renewal as they were not planning international travel in the midst of the pandemic. Picture: The Passport Office in Liverpool
Cebr said it worked out the data using the VisitBritain Covid-19 Consumer Sentiment Tracker which 'shows that more than two in five are planning an overseas trip in the coming 12 months'.
It added: 'Assuming that passport holders are somewhat more likely to have travel plans than the population as a whole and that a quarter of those will have made a booking leaves just under one million holiday makers at risk due to the delays.'
'Multiplying the resulting number of passports at risk with the average cost for a family holiday of around £2,400 suggests a cumulative loss of over £1.1 billion.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10773997/Research-says-passport-delays-cost-1-1-billion-cancelled-summer-trips.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-05-02T10:15:03Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10773997/Research-says-passport-delays-cost-1-1-billion-cancelled-summer-trips.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
Some of the biggest companies in the world, including Facebook and Google, are planning to spend almost $1 billion on a new climate change strategy.
It's not renewable energy or planting trees. It's pulling carbon dioxide emissions right out of the air.
The world has moved so slowly over the last 40 years to rein in greenhouse gases that scientists are now finding that cutting the use of fossil fuels alone may not be enough to stave off the worst effects of climate change. The world is on track for increasingly destructive heat waves, floods and storms. That means heat-trapping gases may also need to be pulled out of the atmosphere.
It's known as "carbon dioxide removal." In the latest international climate assessment, scientists found that using it will be "unavoidable" if countries are going to meet their pledges to keep average global temperatures from rising to ever-harmful levels.
Loading...
Much of the technology to soak up carbon is still in its infancy. Some techniques can have significant impacts on the land. Some climate activists argue it's a risky distraction and that it would give the fossil fuel industry a free pass to keep operating.
Still, scientists running the numbers say the world has reached a point where every possible strategy is needed. Global emissions are still going the wrong direction. In 2021, they reached the highest level ever.
Why scientists say carbon removal is needed
To stave off extreme climate change impacts that could displace millions of people, scientific data show that greenhouse gas emissions need to fall fast. Emissions need to drop 43% by 2030 and then fall to net-zero by mid-century, in order to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).
Some solutions to cut emissions, like using renewable energy, are already widespread and cost-effective. But some emissions will be trickier to tackle. Farming produces emissions both from disturbing the soil and from the use of fertilizers, which provide food for soil microbes that release heat-trapping gases. The technology to create aircraft and ocean-going shipping vessels that don't produce emissions is still experimental. Some industrial processes, like steel-making, require fuels that create extremely high heat.
By mid-century, those sectors may still be producing emissions. But by then, the overall level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere needs to stop rising, much like keeping a bathtub from overflowing.
"If you want to stop the water level from going up, you either need to turn off the faucet or scoop out as much water as you put in," says Katherine Calvin, NASA's Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor and an author on the IPCC report. "The same is true of climate. If you want to stop temperature from rising, you either need to stop carbon dioxide from going into the system or scoop out as much as you put in."
In essence, carbon dioxide removal is like scooping water out of the bathtub. It makes up for the emissions that still could be going into the atmosphere and potentially even more than that, removing emissions that have already been produced.
How does carbon removal work?
Simply put, the idea is to absorb carbon dioxide emissions that have already accumulated in the atmosphere. Then, those emissions would be locked away in some kind of permanent storage, generally in underground geologic formations, so they don't escape to create more warming down the road. But despite carbon dioxide's power to heat the planet, it's very diffuse, making up less than 1% of the atmosphere. That makes it tricky to capture from the air in large quantities.
Option 1: Use nature to absorb carbon emissions
Nature is the most powerful carbon sponge around us. Plants take up carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis, locking it away in their tissues, making the world's forests, grasslands, soils, and wetlands huge reservoirs of carbon. Building up these natural reserves could help slow warming, whether through planting forests, restoring wetlands and mangroves or encouraging agricultural practices that store carbon in the soil. This method is by far the cheapest so far. However, those ecosystems must be protected from development. If the plants and ecosystem are lost, the carbon escapes back into the atmosphere.
Option 2: Use leftover plants to make energy and capture the emissions
Plants are already used to make electricity in biomass power plants, which means while that plant material trapped carbon, the carbon is released in the process of generating energy. A handful of biomass power plants are working on capturing those carbon emissions and then storing them in underground geologic formations. It's known as "bioenergy with carbon capture and storage."
The biomass used is often leftover material, like waste from agricultural crops, forest harvests or food waste, or it can come from crops grown specifically for that purpose. This strategy has the added benefit of producing electricity at the same time. But scaling it up could require more land, putting pressure on wild ecosystems which also store carbon and provide habitat for wildlife. It would take an estimated 115,000 to 166,000 square miles of land, as large as California, to grow the biomass needed to pull 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of the air.
Option 3: Pull it out of the air with big machines
Last year, the largest carbon removal project of its kind started up in Iceland. The Orca plant, run by the Swiss company Climeworks, is essentially a carbon vacuum. Fans pull in air, the carbon is captured by a special material and then it's pumped underground into geologic formations where it mineralizes, remaining trapped.
Other "direct air capture" plants, as they're known, are in development in the U.S. But most are still pilot projects. The technology is expensive and requires a lot of energy. One analysis shows that capturing a ton of carbon this way takes almost as much energy as burning 100 gallons of gasoline, which produces a ton of carbon. If the energy used isn't renewable, it would add more heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere.
Oh, and capturing emissions from fossil fuels doesn't count
Some power plants that burn fossil fuels like coal and natural gas are also working on capturing their carbon emissions and then permanently storing them underground. That helps keep new emissions from reaching the atmosphere, but it doesn't lower that overall amount of greenhouse gases already emitted. Fossil fuels hold loads of carbon that used to be buried underground, so trapping those emissions only neutralizes itself and doesn't help offset emissions from other sources.
So, how much carbon removal is needed?
It all depends on how fast humans can reduce their use of fossil fuels now. But the sooner concentrations of greenhouse gases fall in the atmosphere, the faster the trend of rapidly warming temperatures can be stopped.
By mid-century, carbon removal may need to be scaled up to 10 billion tons of carbon per year, according to a report from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine. Right now, direct air capture plants are just sequestering .01 million tons.
The recent report from the IPCC published overall estimates of how much carbon dioxide removal might be needed, but those numbers were removed due to inconsistencies in how land-based emissions are calculated among different countries. Still, through the end of the century, the report found up to 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide may need to be removed through bioenergy and direct air capture alone.
What are the downsides of carbon removal?
Cost looms large for carbon capture. The Biden Administration recently set a goal of getting carbon removal to below $100 per metric ton within a decade. Currently, capturing carbon directly from the air with technology can cost six or seven times that. And no one is really sure who will pay for it.
Carbon capture projects could also have a big land impact, requiring large industrial facilities that transport carbon underground, a big concern for environmental justice communities who already bear a heavier burden of living near industry. Demand for bioenergy crops could displace both people and ecosystems that are key to biodiversity.
Some climate activists also worry that focusing on unproven technologies now will dissuade world governments from rapidly cutting their fossil fuel use. They say oil and gas companies are making the case that fossil fuels can keep operating with carbon removal technologies, though that will likely take decades or longer to get established.
"This is influencing many industrial countries to kick the can down the road and make it seem as if we don't need to act urgently and unequivocally right now because later there will be this technology," says Genevieve Guenther, founder of the climate advocacy group End Climate Silence and affiliate faculty at The New School. "It's a new form of climate denial."
No matter the path that countries choose on climate change, the IPCC report emphasizes that carbon dioxide removal will never be the main strategy to combat climate change. Cutting emissions is.
"There is a certain newness factor from carbon dioxide removal and it gets a lot of attention," says Oliver Geden, senior fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs and an author of the recent IPCC report. "But still, it should not be the priority of what we're doing. It should not be the thing we're focusing on. The focus needs to be on reducing emissions and carbon dioxide removal is only a complement to that."

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The tornado that damaged more than more than 1,000 buildings in south-central Kansas generated winds up to 165 mph (266 kph) and carved a path of destruction nearly 13 miles (21 kilometers) long.
The National Weather Service said the tornado that caused extensive damage Friday mostly in the Wichita suburb of Andover and injured several people rated an EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita scale it uses to assess tornadoes.
Andover Fire Chief Chad Russell said that at least 300 to 400 buildings were destroyed by the storm as part of a total of 1,074 buildings that were damaged. The Weather Service said the tornado was on the ground for 21 minutes Friday evening.
Four people, including two firefighters who were responding to a call in Andover, were injured during the storm but their injuries were minor.
Russell said it will take years for Andover to recover from this storm.
“The city of Andover will be affected by this for years,” he said. “We still have scars from 1991 (EF5 tornado). I’m so thankful this tornado was not as bad as that, but we will literally be doing this for years.”
By Sunday, utility crews had restored power to nearly all of the more than 15,000 customers who lost power during the storm. Evergy said less than 1,000 people still lacked power in the Wichita area Sunday morning.
In addition to the storm damage, the Oklahoma State Patrol said three University of Oklahoma meteorology students were killed in a car crash about 85 miles (137 kilometers) north of Oklahoma City in Oklahoma Friday evening as they returned from storm chasing in Kansas.

Associated Press
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — A first group of civilians trapped for weeks inside a steel plant in Mariupol under Russian siege was expected to reach a Ukrainian-controlled city on Monday, as a new attempt was launched to allow people sheltering elsewhere in the city to leave.
Video posted online Sunday by Ukrainian forces showed elderly women and mothers with small children climbing over a steep pile of rubble from the sprawling Azovstal steel plant and eventually boarding a bus.
The evacuation, if successful, would represent rare progress in easing the human cost of the almost 10-week war, which has caused particular suffering in Mariupol. Previous attempts to open safe corridors out of the port city on the Sea of Azov and other places have broken down. People fleeing Russian-occupied areas in the past have said their vehicles were fired on, and Ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused Russian forces of shelling agreed-upon evacuation routes.
At least some of the people evacuated from the plant were apparently taken to a village controlled by Moscow-backed separatists, though Russian state media reported they would be allowed to continue on to Ukrainian-held territory if they wanted to. In the past, Ukrainian officials have accused Moscow’s troops of forcibly relocating civilians from areas they have captured to Russia; Moscow has said the people wanted to go to Russia.
More than 100 civilians were expected to arrive in Zaporizhzhia on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday.
“Today, for the first time in all the days of the war, this vitally needed green corridor has started working,” Zelenskyy said in a pre-recorded address published on his Telegram messaging channel.
While official evacuations have often faltered, many people have managed to flee Mariupol under their own steam. Anastasiia Dembytska took advantage of the brief cease-fire around the evacuation of civilians from the steel plant to leave with her daughter, nephew and dog.
She told The Associated Press she could see the steel plant from her window, when she dared to look out.
“We could see the rockets flying” and clouds of smoke over the plant, she said.
She said she had to navigate many checkpoints on the journey to Zaporizhzhia and waited 18 hours near the city before being allowed to pass.
Like many Mariupol residents, Dembytska and her family survived by cooking on a makeshift stove and drinking well water under near-constant bombardment.
“I was scared, then I got used to it,” her 14-year-old daughter Vladyslava said.
A defender of the steel plant said Russian forces resumed shelling the plant Sunday as soon as the civilians were evacuated.
Denys Shlega, commander of the 12th Operational Brigade of Ukraine’s National Guard, said in a televised interview Sunday night that several hundred civilians are still trapped alongside nearly 500 wounded soldiers and “numerous” dead bodies.
“Several dozen small children are still in the bunkers underneath the plant,” Shlega said.
As many as 100,000 people may still be in Mariupol, including an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters beneath the sprawling, Soviet-era steel plant — the only part of the city not occupied by the Russians.
A siege of Mariupol since the early days of the war has trapped civilians with scarce access to food, water, medicine and electricity. A Russian airstrike hit a maternity hospital early in the conflict, and hundreds of people were reported killed when a theater was bombed.
The city, which had a pre-war population of more than 400,000, is a key Russian target because its capture would deprive Ukraine of a vital port, allow Moscow to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops for fighting elsewhere in the Donbas, now Russia’s main focus.
A Ukrainian officer at the steel plant urged groups like the U.N. and the Red Cross to also ensure the evacuation of wounded fighters at the plant, though he acknowledged that reaching some of the injured is difficult.
“There’s rubble. We have no special equipment. It’s hard for soldiers to pick up slabs weighing tons only with their arms,” Sviatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of the Azov Regiment, told the AP in an interview. “We hear voices of people who are still alive” inside shattered buildings.
U.N. humanitarian spokesman Saviano Abreu said civilians arriving in Zaporizhzhia, about 140 miles (230 kilometers) northwest of Mariupol, would get immediate support, including psychological services. A Doctors Without Borders team was waiting for the U.N. convoy at a reception center for displaced people in the city.
In his nightly address Sunday, Zelenskyy accused Moscow of waging “a war of extermination,” saying Russian shelling had hit food, grain and fertilizer warehouses, and residential neighborhoods in the city of Kharkiv, in the Donbas and other regions.
More than 350,000 people have been evacuated from combat zones thanks to humanitarian corridors pre-agreed with Moscow, he said, adding the “organization of humanitarian corridors is one of the elements of the negotiation process which is ongoing.”
In Zaporizhzhia, residents ignored air raid sirens to visit cemeteries on Sunday, the Orthodox Christian day of the dead.
“If our dead could rise and see this, they would say, ‘It’s not possible, they’re worse than the Germans,’” Hennadiy Bondarenko, 61, said while marking the day with his family at a picnic table among the graves. “All our dead would join the fighting, including the Cossacks.”
Meanwhile, Russian forces embarked on a major military operation to seize the Donbas, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, after failing to capture Kyiv.
A full picture of battle unfolding in eastern Ukraine is hard to capture. The fighting makes it dangerous for reporters to move around, and both sides have introduced tight restrictions on reporting from the combat zone.
Western officials say Russia is advancing slowly in its eastern offensive and has captured some villages, but is inflicting heavy civilian casualties through indiscriminate bombing. Ukrainian forces are fighting their offensive village-by-village while civilians flee airstrikes and artillery shelling.
The British Defense Ministry said in a daily briefing Monday that it believes more than a quarter of all the fighting units Russia has deployed in Ukraine are now “combat ineffective” — unable to fight because of loss of troops or equipment.
The British military believes Russia committed over 120 so-called “battalion tactical groups” into the war since February, which represents 65% of all of Moscow’s combat strength.
Ukraine’s military claimed Monday to have destroyed two small Russian patrol boats in the Black Sea. Drone footage posted online showed what the Ukrainians described as two Russian Raptor boats exploding after being struck by missiles.
The AP could not immediately independently confirm the strikes.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in military assistance has flowed into Ukraine during the war, but Russia’s vast armories mean Ukraine still needs massive support. Zelenskyy has appealed to the West for more weapons, and tougher economic sanctions on Russia.
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other U.S. lawmakers visited Zelenskyy on Saturday to show American support.
European Union energy ministers were meeting Monday to discuss a new set of sanctions, which could include restrictions on Russian oil — though Russia-dependent members of the 27-nation bloc including Hungary and Slovakia are wary of taking tough action.

LONDON (AP) — As you were in the pursuit of Champions League qualification. At the other end of the Premier League, though, the relegation scrap just got even tighter.
Arsenal remained in fourth place after Gabriel’s header secured a 2-1 win at West Ham to stay two points ahead of Tottenham after its north London rival beat Leicester 3-1 on Sunday through Son Heung-min’s double.
Chelsea looks well placed to qualify for the Champions League despite now being only three points ahead of Arsenal with four games remaining after losing 1-0 at Everton.
It’s a result — secured by Richarlison — that gives Everton renewed hope of avoiding relegation after a 68-year stay in the top division.
Everton moved two points from safety with five matches to go and a game in hand over both Leeds and Burnley, which are just above the drop zone.
FLARE THROWN
Richarlison’s four goals in his last five league matches is as many as he scored in his first 21 games of the season.
The latest came 59 seconds into the second half at Goodison Park. Richarlison and Demarai Gray pressured Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta into losing possession and the Brazilian benefited by sweeping a shot past goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
But Richarlison could face Football Association action after picking up a lit blue flare during his goal celebrations and throwing it back into the stand.
Everton relied on Jordan Pickford’s saves to preserve the win — denying Cesar Azpilicueta, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Thiago Silva.
“We’re still in a massive scrap,” captain Seamus Coleman said. “We’ve got to keep going and keep battling.”
Third-place Chelsea has only four points from its last four games.
“We struggle to play without big mistakes,” Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said. “And that is why we struggle to have results.”
SON DOUBLE
Son is now on a career-high 19 Premier League goals in a season, only three behind Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot.
Before scoring against Leicester, Son also provided the opener in the 22nd minute by delivering a corner for the unmarked Harry Kane to head into the bottom corner to end a five-game goalless run.
It also was Tottenham’s first attempt on target in 221 minutes.
The hosts struggled for another sight of goal until the hour mark when they doubled their lead.
Cristian Romero was the architect as he produced a crunching tackle on Caglar Soyuncu on the halfway line which set Dejan Kulusevski free and the Swede raced clear and teed up Son, who found the bottom corner.
Son’s second came after he picked up the ball on the right, cut inside and curled a shot high into the net in the 79th minute from distance. The South Korea forward was denied a shot at a hat trick after being substituted by manager Antonio Conte
“We are talking about a great player, fantastic player,” Conte said. “But it’s important at the end of the season to celebrate a big achievement with the team. Otherwise it remains only a personal success to score these types of goals.”
Kelechi Iheanacho scored a stoppage-time consolation for Leicester, which is 11th in the standings and focused on its Europa Conference League semifinal against Roma on Thursday after drawing 1-1 in the first leg.
DEFENDERS’ HEADERS
Like Leicester, seventh-place West Ham’s focus is on Europe and its second-leg game in the Europa League semifinals against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
Arsenal still found it hard going before Bukayo Saka’s corner was headed in by Rob Holding in the 38th minute for his first-ever Premier League goal since making his debut in 2016.
The lead lasted seven minutes as Jarrod Bowen leveled from close range before the break. But Arsenal went in front again nine minutes into the second half when Gabriel Martinelli crossed to an unmarked Gabriel for a diving header that beat former Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski at the far post.
After three straight losses, Arsenal has now won three in a row.
“It’s nice and close and we’ll have to keep going for the rest of the season,” Holding said. “Your heart rate will be going high at times, but if we can keep controlling what we do and picking up points that’s all we can worry about.”

Tyrone 0-10 Derry 1-18: Gallagher the grandmaster as Oak Leafers crush All-Ireland champions
Last updated on .From the section Gaelic Games
Some Derry supporters may wake up on Bank Holiday Monday with sore heads, but the manager will certainly have a sore throat.
It will be a small price to pay for Rory Gallagher, who invested so much of himself in Sunday's stunning 1-18 to 0-10 upset of defending Ulster and All-Ireland champions Tyrone.
Amidst a strangely subdued atmosphere in the first half of this Ulster Championship clash, with Tyrone fans racked with nerves and before the Derry fans found their voice, all that could be heard in the stand at Healy Park was Gallagher bellowing out instructions to his players like they were pieces on a chessboard.
"Gareth, come out, COME OUT. Niall, move over would ye."
By the time the second half came around, Gallagher had fallen silent. Job done.
- Report: Derry dismantle Tyrone in stunning Ulster SFC win
- Derry stun All-Ireland champions Tyrone - all the action as it happened
Tyrone had been crushed, Derry enjoyed one of their greatest ever days against their more successful north-west rivals and Gallagher had the best win of his managerial career.
No need to shout about it.
"Ah well now, I wouldn't call it shouting," he laughed, when I teased him about his hands-on coaching style afterwards.
"I'd call it motivating, but sure it is what it is. I can't change now!"
And why should he? In Derry, Gallagher may just have found his comfort zone.
He is in year three with the Oak Leafers. Eyebrows were raised in certain quarters when the Belleek man joined them in September 2019, two months after stepping down as manager of his own county, Fermanagh.
He took the Erne job in 2017, six weeks after ending a three-year stint in charge of Donegal.
That came after four years working as Jim McGuinness' assistant, tasting All-Ireland glory in 2012 as well as winning three Ulster titles.
So after a playing career where he was regarded as a genius play-making forward with Fermanagh and also winning an All-Ireland club title with St Gall's, he has basically been an ever-present on the line in Ulster football circles since 2011.
Gaelic football is his obsession and if teams are a reflection of the personality of their manager, who and what are Derry?
"Well I certainly wasn't a hard-working forward - but these guys have to be in the modern game! That's the bottom line.
"Look, I asked the boys to impose their personality on it and my personality is what it is. We are very honest with each other and there are imperfections in us all."
Stepping stone
Derry can now say with confidence that they are back in the big time but they will have to be mindful over the next two weeks that Sunday's epic win was not their Ulster final and merely a stepping stone on the way.
Gallagher will know that, especially with Monaghan up next. A county that he admits has "caused me a lot of personal pain over the last decade", with Donegal's one-point defeat in the 2015 Ulster final probably the one that hurts most.
He will be acutely aware where they are in the building process from a Division Four team, which is where they were in 2019, to now.
"We lost 0-17 to 0-15 to Armagh in November 2020 but I didn't feel we were at their level," he says.
"We have knuckled down a lot since then and we have a lot of players who are very committed to playing for Derry.
"They are playing for each other and putting the team first at all times. It's about learning to be a really good team and that is where we have made a lot of progress.
"This was a big step up. These boys had to beat a Division One team and now we have."
Over the past two weekends teams who operated in Division Two this spring have knocked last year's All-Irelands finalists out of their provincial championships.
Galway dethroned Mayo in Connacht and now Derry have done the same to Tyrone.
And what of the Red Hands?
This was a first managerial championship defeat for Tyrone joint managers Brian Dooher and Feargal Logan, who knew only good times in 2021.
"We definitely were aware of the enormity of the challenge, we didn't underestimate that - we just didn't perform, that's the long and short of it.," said Dooher.
"Derry showed up, were well organised with a plan and had a lot of energy in their game. They deserved their victory."
Having watched Tyrone labour to victory over Fermanagh in the preliminary round two weeks ago, Gallagher had felt Tyrone were flat and vulnerable.
Dooher didn't disagree.
"We weren't playing as well as we should have been, I don't think that's any secret. You're hoping to build gradually and get a bit of momentum as time went on. Obviously that didn't happen.
"There's no hiding places out there. It's not a place to go if you're not right at it and as we found out today, we weren't at the races. That's the harsh reality of it."
Tyrone have lost seven players since their All-Ireland win last year.
Their absence was keenly felt in Omagh because the bench was light. There was no Tiernan McCann, Ronan O'Neill or Mark Bradley to bring on to make an impact.
"Our own boys are coming on well enough," insisted Dooher.
"We gave the ball away too many times unforced. We tried things that weren't on. Surely they are good players who did leave but no way is that the reason we lost.
"It's definitely not the reason. I wish it was." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gaelic-games/61297110 | 2022-05-02T10:45:44Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gaelic-games/61297110 | false |
It will look something like: \"cmake.hunterlab.a.g.xcode: /var/obj/.metadata\":/private 10g/lib3ds:\",... \"Less than six inches behind the left hip bone,\" P.M was said to refer all messages received within six to its headquarters a very small a portion to any general officers now living. When did she know it? But perhaps you meant in particular? How you could have told CAPE CORAL, Fla. – A Cape Coral woman is heartbroken after finding a beloved burrowing owl lying on its face near its burrow in her front yard.
Jo Lucarelli moved into her Cape Coral home on SE 23rd St. more than a year and a half ago. Upon arrival she noticed a burrowing owl making herself at home in the front yard.
“Saw that the burrowing owls were here and I was so excited, I called my kids because they were still up there and I’m like, they’re here!” Lucarelli said.
The first owl, Grace, was soon joined by “Hootie.” Jo said the pair began feeling like her pets that she admired from afar.
“Hootie and Grace, they were our family. I loved them,” Lucarelli said.
Last week, Jo says she went outside to snap a picture of the owls when she saw Grace lying flat on her face in the dirt near the burrow. She rushed the bird to the hospital where they began evaluating her for rat poisoning.
Grace died three days after being admitted to the hospital. Jo said veterinarians told her that Grace isn’t the only poisoning victim they’ve seen recently.
“CROW is saying there are 15 others who have died from that this season, that’s a lot,” said Lucarelli.
Pascha Donaldson is the President of Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife. She said people will try solving their rat problem by using poison. Since that’s a staple of a burrowing owl diet, eating a poisoned rat could carry deadly consequences.
“We’re very concerned, we always preach and I have to say preach, not to use rat poison,” said Donaldson. “Rodenticide is a horrible thing. It’s a horrible way to kill an animal.”
She said one of the things dying from the poison could be a solution to the rat problem.
“A family of owls would eat a thousand rats a year, let them be the exterminators,” said Donaldson.
Since Grace’s death, Jo said Hootie the owl grieved and left the burrow in her yard. She hopes to spread the word to stop using rat poising to solve your rodent problem.
“If you really care about these animals and I hope you do, stop using these poisons,” said Lucarelli. | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/05/02/beloved-cape-coral-burrowing-owl-dies-from-suspected-rat-poison/ | 2022-05-02T10:46:03Z | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/05/02/beloved-cape-coral-burrowing-owl-dies-from-suspected-rat-poison/ | false |
Perhaps the latest injury is just another test thrown into the hero’s path, but Philadelphia fans, at least, are tired of the drama in this Sixers season.
It began with the epic standoff between the Sixers and Ben Simmons, but out of the wreckage of that fiasco emerged a new Joel Embiid. He was willing to take on more responsibility on court and off, mentoring younger players, shouldering the scoring load when needed, welcoming and sharing the spotlight with James Harden when that trade finally arrived.
This new maturity met more obstacles in the playoffs, namely the scrappy Raptors and a Game 3 thumb ligament injury to Embiid. Yet even as the center and his teammates overcame those issues, fate again had a plot twist waiting with a Pascal Siakam elbow that fractured the orbital bone near Embiid’s eye and caused a mild concussion.
Now the Sixers start a tough series against the Miami Heat without Embiid. Will they rise to meet the latest challenge?

Early Birds
Nakobe Dean showed up all dressed up for the NFL draft in Las Vegas expecting to be selected in the first round. As it turned out, the Eagles might have gotten the steal of the draft when the Georgia linebacker fell all the way to the third round because of injury concerns. Beat writer Jeff McLane reports that sources from other teams said there was concern that shoulder and knee injuries were chronic.
Dean could go boom or bust, but initially, there is optimism that this pick will work well for the Eagles. Beat writer Josh Tolentino has Dean as his favorite pick for the Eagles in this draft. Our draft expert EJ Smith also gave the Dean selection an A-, and the Eagles received good grades overall.
Extra Innings
James Norwood grew up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, attending games at Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium with his baseball-loving father, Mark. So it was always going to be emotional when the Phillies’ recently acquired reliever finally played in his first game in New York against the Mets or the Yankees. And then, last month, Mark Norwood died of heart failure. He was 74. Imagine the emotions, then, when James, 28, not only faced the Mets on Saturday night at Citi Field but recorded three outs in the sixth inning and picked up the win — the first of his 35-game major-league career.
Rosters across baseball will shrink from 28 players to 26 on Monday. Which Phillies are candidates to be sent down?

Off the Dribble
Injuries have been a major plotline in these NBA playoffs. We’ve seen Devin Booker, Khris Middleton, and more stars suffer injuries that led to seismic shifts in strategy for teams.
That story shaped the experiences of the 76ers and Miami Heat more than most, and the theme will continue as they begin their Eastern Conference semifinal series, with Kyle Lowry out for Game 1 with an injured hamstring and Joel Embiid set to miss at least Games 1 and 2 with a concussion and orbital fracture near his right eye.
How should Doc Rivers proceed without Embiid? David Murphy has his ideas.
Next: The Sixers and Heat play Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series at 7:30 p.m. Monday at FTX Arena in Miami (TNT).

All Nashville SC and their fans wanted was to kick off the team’s era in brand-new GEODIS Park with a win. The Union came expecting a full crowd of fervent fans and hoping to play spoiler to those plans.
The Union managed to not only score the game’s first goal, but also, in doing so, got striker Mikael Uhre his initial MLS tally. Union fans hope many more will come.

On This Date
In 1908, Philadelphia’s own Jack Norworth (born John Godfrey Knauff) delivered to the U.S. Copy Office “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” to apply for its copyright. Norworth, a vaudeville performer and songwriter whose father was a choir director at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, wrote the lyrics to the song. In its original form it is longer than the well-known chorus. Albert Von Tilzer wrote the music. Neither had ever seen a professional baseball game at the time, and Norworth would not attend one until 32 years later. Many baseball fans traditionally sing the song during the seventh inning stretch, so those lyrics written over a hundred years ago are among the best-known in the country.
Last year, Rick Astley recorded a version especially for the Phillies.

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Donetsk Oblast — A first group of civilians trapped for weeks inside a steel plant in Mariupol under Russian siege was expected to reach a Ukrainian-controlled city on Monday, as a new attempt was launched to allow people sheltering elsewhere in the city to leave.
Video posted online Sunday by Ukrainian forces showed elderly women and mothers with small children climbing over a steep pile of rubble from the sprawling Azovstal steel plant and eventually boarding a bus.
The evacuation, if successful, would represent rare progress in easing the human cost of the almost 10-week war, which has caused particular suffering in Mariupol. Previous attempts to open safe corridors out of the port city on the Sea of Azov and other places have broken down. People fleeing Russian-occupied areas in the past have said their vehicles were fired on, and Ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused Russian forces of shelling agreed-upon evacuation routes.
At least some of the people evacuated from the plant were apparently taken to a village controlled by Moscow-backed separatists, though Russian state media reported they would be allowed to continue on to Ukrainian-held territory if they wanted to. In the past, Ukrainian officials have accused Moscow’s troops of forcibly relocating civilians from areas they have captured to Russia; Moscow has said the people wanted to go to Russia.
More than 100 civilians were expected to arrive in Zaporizhzhia on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday.
“Today, for the first time in all the days of the war, this vitally needed green corridor has started working,” Zelenskyy said in a pre-recorded address published on his Telegram messaging channel.
While official evacuations have often faltered, many people have managed to flee Mariupol under their own steam. Anastasiia Dembytska took advantage of the brief cease-fire around the evacuation of civilians from the steel plant to leave with her daughter, nephew and dog.
She told The Associated Press she could see the steel plant from her window, when she dared to look out.
“We could see the rockets flying” and clouds of smoke over the plant, she said.
She said she had to navigate many checkpoints on the journey to Zaporizhzhia and waited 18 hours near the city before being allowed to pass.
Like many Mariupol residents, Dembytska and her family survived by cooking on a makeshift stove and drinking well water under near-constant bombardment.
“I was scared, then I got used to it,” her 14-year-old daughter Vladyslava said.
A defender of the steel plant said Russian forces resumed shelling the plant Sunday as soon as the civilians were evacuated.
Denys Shlega, commander of the 12th Operational Brigade of Ukraine’s National Guard, said in a televised interview Sunday night that several hundred civilians are still trapped alongside nearly 500 wounded soldiers and “numerous” dead bodies.
“Several dozen small children are still in the bunkers underneath the plant,” Shlega said.
As many as 100,000 people may still be in Mariupol, including an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters beneath the sprawling, Soviet-era steel plant — the only part of the city not occupied by the Russians.
A siege of Mariupol since the early days of the war has trapped civilians with scarce access to food, water, medicine and electricity. A Russian airstrike hit a maternity hospital early in the conflict, and hundreds of people were reported killed when a theater was bombed.
The city, which had a pre-war population of more than 400,000, is a key Russian target because its capture would deprive Ukraine of a vital port, allow Moscow to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops for fighting elsewhere in the Donbas, now Russia's main focus.
A Ukrainian officer at the steel plant urged groups like the U.N. and the Red Cross to also ensure the evacuation of wounded fighters at the plant, though he acknowledged that reaching some of the injured is difficult.
“There’s rubble. We have no special equipment. It's hard for soldiers to pick up slabs weighing tons only with their arms,” Sviatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of the Azov Regiment, told the AP in an interview. “We hear voices of people who are still alive” inside shattered buildings.
U.N. humanitarian spokesman Saviano Abreu said civilians arriving in Zaporizhzhia, about 140 miles (230 kilometers) northwest of Mariupol, would get immediate support, including psychological services. A Doctors Without Borders team was waiting for the U.N. convoy at a reception center for displaced people in the city.
In his nightly address Sunday, Zelenskyy accused Moscow of waging “a war of extermination,” saying Russian shelling had hit food, grain and fertilizer warehouses, and residential neighborhoods in the city of Kharkiv, in the Donbas and other regions.
More than 350,000 people have been evacuated from combat zones thanks to humanitarian corridors pre-agreed with Moscow, he said, adding the “organization of humanitarian corridors is one of the elements of the negotiation process which is ongoing.”
In Zaporizhzhia, residents ignored air raid sirens to visit cemeteries on Sunday, the Orthodox Christian day of the dead.
“If our dead could rise and see this, they would say, ‘It’s not possible, they’re worse than the Germans,’” Hennadiy Bondarenko, 61, said while marking the day with his family at a picnic table among the graves. “All our dead would join the fighting, including the Cossacks.”
Meanwhile, Russian forces embarked on a major military operation to seize the Donbas, Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland, after failing to capture Kyiv.
A full picture of battle unfolding in eastern Ukraine is hard to capture. The fighting makes it dangerous for reporters to move around, and both sides have introduced tight restrictions on reporting from the combat zone.
Western officials say Russia is advancing slowly in its eastern offensive and has captured some villages, but is inflicting heavy civilian casualties through indiscriminate bombing. Ukrainian forces are fighting their offensive village-by-village while civilians flee airstrikes and artillery shelling.
The British Defense Ministry said in a daily briefing Monday that it believes more than a quarter of all the fighting units Russia has deployed in Ukraine are now “combat ineffective” — unable to fight because of loss of troops or equipment.
The British military believes Russia committed over 120 so-called “battalion tactical groups” into the war since February, which represents 65% of all of Moscow’s combat strength.
Ukraine’s military claimed Monday to have destroyed two small Russian patrol boats in the Black Sea. Drone footage posted online showed what the Ukrainians described as two Russian Raptor boats exploding after being struck by missiles.
The AP could not immediately independently confirm the strikes.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in military assistance has flowed into Ukraine during the war, but Russia’s vast armories mean Ukraine still needs massive support. Zelenskyy has appealed to the West for more weapons, and tougher economic sanctions on Russia.
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other U.S. lawmakers visited Zelenskyy on Saturday to show American support.
European Union energy ministers were meeting Monday to discuss a new set of sanctions, which could include restrictions on Russian oil — though Russia-dependent members of the 27-nation bloc including Hungary and Slovakia are wary of taking tough action.

Washington used a third-round draft choice on Alabama running back Brian Robinson on Friday night even though the Commanders have Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic returning for the 2022 NFL season at his position.
Gibson ran for 1,037 yards and seven touchdowns last season, and Washington thought enough of McKissic to bring him back from free agency when he had all but signed with the Buffalo Bills in March.
· UNDRAFTED PLAYERS LINE UP NFL OPPORTUNITIES
· ALABAMA ROOTS: 2022 NFL DRAFT PICKS
· EVAN NEAL READY TO GET TO WORK WITH GIANTS
Commanders coach Ron Rivera said Washington added Robinson to “take some of that load and also be a load.”
Rivera said the Commanders went into the NFL Draft looking for players who could help their offense improve its ball control to stay on the field more consistently, so “to have (Robinson) sitting there at the end of the third round, we felt pretty fortunate.”
Gibson and McKissic played wide receiver in college, although Gibson also ran for 369 yards and four touchdowns on 33 carries in his final season at Memphis.
“Love the physical, downhill style,” Rivera said of Robinson. “This is a guy that breaks tackles – over 800 yards after contact. That’s pretty impressive. Has been consistent protecting the football over his career I think is another thing you like.
“But he’s also a different type of back than what we get from Antonio and what we get from J.D., and so it’s one of those things that we have a trifecta of guys that you’re going to feel real good about in terms of mixing up things. And one thing is he’s a very physical player.”
In his fifth season at Alabama, Robinson ran for 1,343 yards and 14 touchdowns on 271 carries and caught 35 passes for 296 yards and two touchdowns in 2021.
“Obviously with me being a bigger back, I choose to be physical in my run game, just wear defenses down,” Robinson said. “But I can be elusive, I can make the defenders miss. … I can pick up the blitz also. And I can be effective out of the backfield if needed.”
Rivera likes how Robinson fits in Washington’s running-backs room by being different.
“You feel like you have a combination of running backs that on your first and second down are very physical and then we turn around and you got a little bit of a slasher with Antonio’s style,” Rivera said. “… It’s a good mix. I’ve been fortunate that I’ve had a couple of combinations of really good running backs, and I see this as giving us another combination of really good running backs, and then you throw J.D. into the mix and you’re really going to get a changeup.”
Like Robinson, McKissic was an Alabama prep standout – Robinson at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa and McKissic at Central High School in Phenix City.
Last season, McKissic ran for 212 yards and two touchdowns on 48 carries and caught 43 passes for 397 yards and two touchdowns before a neck injury caused him to miss the final six games of the season.
In 2020, McKissic came within one catch of Washington’s single-season record for a running back with 80 receptions for 589 yards and two touchdowns.

ATHENS, Greece — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that half a million Ukrainians have been “illegally taken to Russia, or other places, against their will.”
Speaking to Greek state TV ERT, Zelenskyy said the remaining civilians in the Azovstal factory in the city of Mariupol are afraid to board buses because they believe they will be taken to Russia.
The United Nations has begun evacuating civilians from the factory.
Zelenskyy said U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres assured him that those evacuated would end up in an area controlled by the government of Ukraine.
“We want to believe this,” the Ukrainian leader said.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
WARSAW, Poland — A top-level U.S. congressional delegation led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in Warsaw on Monday to express gratitude to Poland for its humanitarian and other support for Ukraine.
Pelosi and a half dozen U.S. lawmakers met with President Andrzej Duda and Polish lawmakers in Warsaw. The visit followed a weekend visit to Kyiv where they met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, pledging to support his country until it defeats Russia.
In a statement after the meeting with Duda, Pelosi called him “a valued partner in supporting the people of Ukraine in the face of Putin’s brutal and unprovoked war.”
She said that during their meeting the members of her delegation “expressed America’s deep gratitude to the Polish government and Polish people for opening their hearts and homes to Ukrainian refugees, and we reaffirmed our nation’s pledge to continue supporting Poland’s humanitarian efforts.”

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A Finnish nuclear energy company said Monday it has decided to terminate with immediate effect a contract with Russian state nuclear energy corporation Rosatom for the delivery of a nuclear power plant, in part due to the war in Ukraine “which has worsened the risks for the project.”
The company, Fennovoima, also cited “significant delays and inability to deliver the project” for terminating the deal to build the northern Finland Hanhikivi Nuclear Power Plant.
It was proposed to house a Russian-designed pressurized water reactor, with a capacity of 1200 MW and the nuclear power plant was to generate approximately 10% of Finland’s electricity needs, the company said.
In April 2021, the company announced that construction was to begin in 2023 and commercial operation would start in 2029.
In a statement, Fennovoimas’s CEO Joachim Specht said the decision “is estimated to have a significant employee impact in Fennovoima and is expected to impact also the supply chain companies.”

MOSCOW — The Russian military says its forces have struck dozens of Ukrainian military targets in the east.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Monday that Russian warplanes fired precision guided missiles to hit 38 Ukrainian targets, including concentrations of troops and weapons, over the last 24 hours. He said that a Russian air strike also destroyed an ammunition depot near Chervone in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Konashenkov said that a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet was downed near the eastern town of Slovyansk.
The announcements couldn’t be independently confirmed.
In recent weeks, the Russian military has focused is efforts on Ukraine’ industrial heartland called Donbas, where Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian forces since 2014.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian military says that Russia has redeployed some of its forces from the port of Mariupol to join its offensive in the east.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian armed forces said Monday that several Russian battalions had been sent from Mariupol to the town of Popasna in the eastern Luhansk region. Popasna has been one of the epicenters of fighting in the east as the Russian military has sought to break through the Ukrainian defenses there in a bid to encircle Ukrainian forces in the east.
The Ukrainian General Staff also said that the Russians were also trying to press their attacks from Izyum to the towns of Slovyansk and Barvinkove. Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov told The Associated Press that the redeployment of forces from Mariupol to the frontline in the east reflect their failure to make any gains there.
The Russian military is still struggling to uproot the last remaining Ukrainian pocket of resistance at the giant Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol. The U.N. is set to coordinate an effort Monday to evacuate civilians sheltering at the plant.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian authorities say several civilians have been killed in the latest Russian bombardment.
The office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that at least three people were killed and another three, including a child, were wounded in the eastern Luhansk region over the last 24 hours. It said that four people were wounded in the shelling in another eastern region of Donetsk.
The regional administration in the Zaporizhzhia region further west said that at least two people died and another four were wounded in the Russian shelling of the town of Orikhiv.
___
BERLIN — Germany says it would be able to cope if supplies of Russian oil were cut off due to an embargo or a decision by Moscow.
Economy Minister Robert Habeck said that Russian oil now accounts for 12% of total imports, down from 35% before the war, and most of it goes to the Schwedt refinery near Berlin.
Habeck acknowledged that losing those supplies could result in a “bumpy” situation for the capital and surrounding region, with price hikes and shortages, but that wouldn’t result in Germany “slipping into an oil crisis.”
He said the issue of an oil embargo would be discussed at an EU energy ministers meeting in Brussels, attended by also India. Still, he added that “other countries aren’t so far yet and I think that needs to be respected.”
___
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Denmark has summoned Russia’s Ambassador in Copenhagen Monday to explain the violation by a Russian military reconnaissance plane of Danish airspace last week.
The plane, an AN-30 propeller plane, first briefly entered the Danish airspace late April 29 east of the Danish Baltic Island of Bornholm before flying into Swedish airspace.
Denmark’s Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod said Monday on Twitter that it was “extremely worrying in the current situation.”
Over the weekend, Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist said the violation was “unacceptable” and “unprofessional.”
___
BRUSSELS — European Union energy ministers are meeting later Monday to discuss Russia’s decision to cut gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland, and debate planned new sanctions over Moscow’s war on Ukraine.
The 27-nation EU has imposed five rounds of sanctions on Russian officials, oligarchs, banks, companies and other organizations since Russian troops invaded Ukraine in February.
The European Commission is working on a sixth round of measures which could include oil restrictions, but Russia-dependent countries like Hungary and Slovakia are wary of taking tough action.
The EU’s executive branch could announce new sanction proposals later this week. The measures would have to be approved by the member countries — a process that can take several days.
The energy ministers will also look at what steps to take should Russia ramp up its pressure by cutting gas supplies to other countries.
___
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel has summoned the Russian ambassador over comments made by the Russian foreign minister about Nazism and antisemitism.
In an interview with an Italian news channel, Sergey Lavrov explained that Ukraine could still have Nazi elements even if some figures, including the country’s president, were Jewish.
“Hitler also had Jewish origins, so it doesn’t mean anything,” he said, according to an Italian translation.
In a statement Monday, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid called the remarks “unforgivable and scandalous and a horrible historical error.”
“The Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust,” Lapid said. “The lowest level of racism against Jews is to blame Jews themselves for antisemitism.”
Israel’s Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem called the remarks “absurd, delusional, dangerous and deserving of condemnation.”
The stern reaction stands in contrast to Israel’s position on the war in Ukraine, where it has tried to maintain a semblance of neutrality. It relies on Russia for security coordination in Syria and has been measured in its criticism of Russia’s invasion. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has also tried mediating between the two countries, though the efforts appear to have stalled.
___
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Denmark will become the first Nordic country to reopen its diplomatic mission in Kyiv, meaning Danes “can have a direct cooperation by having our embassy and ambassador in the heart of the Ukrainian capital,” Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod said Monday.
Kofod said the improved security situation meant that Ambassador Ole Egberg Mikkelsen and his staff can return to Kyiv, where their embassy reopens Monday.
However, Kofod who had traveled to the Ukrainian capital for the reopening of the embassy, told Danish media that “this is not a normal situation” as he spoke of the overall circumstances in Ukraine. Denmark, he added, still advises against all travel to the country where there “is a fierce war.”
___
ISTANBUL — Turkey’s president says the war in Ukraine shouldn’t negatively affect the tourism season.
After prayers marking the beginning of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “very sensitive” about Turkey’s need for tourism revenue and has already pledged to give his support.
Turkey suffers from skyrocketing inflation and needs tourists’ foreign currencies. Erdogan added Saudi tourists would also be arriving following his visit to Saudi Arabia last week.
In an interview with Greek state broadcaster ERT, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian tourism brought revenue to neighboring Greece and Turkey and called this “blood money.” Zelenskyy pointed to a double standard where Turkey acted as a meditator between Ukraine and Russia while preparing destinations for Russian tourists.
Erdogan said he’ll speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week to discuss speeding up evacuations from the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol and to find a way for grain exports from Ukraine and Russia.
___
LVIV, Ukraine — The British military believes more than a quarter of all troops Russia deployed for its war in Ukraine are now “combat ineffective.”
The comment Monday came as part of a daily briefing on Twitter the British Defense Ministry has offered about the ongoing war in Ukraine. The British military believes Russia committed over 120 so-called “battalion tactical groups” into the war since February, which represents 65% of all of Moscow’s combat strength.
The ministry said, “It is likely that more than a quarter of these units have now been rendered combat ineffective.”
Combat ineffective is a term that refers to a military’s ability to wage war. Losing soldiers to wounds and death, as well as having equipment damaged or destroyed, affects that.
The British military said that some of Russia’s most elite forces, like the VDV Airborne, “have suffered the highest levels of attrition.”
It added: “It will probably take years for Russia to reconstitute these forces.”
___
KYIV, Ukraine — Svyatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of the Azov Regiment that is helping defend the last section of Mariupol not occupied by the Russians, said he was glad evacuations had begun.
Palamar hoped the evacuations from the Azovstal steel mill continue until everyone in the plant, civilians and soldiers, has gotten out. It’s been difficult even to reach some of the wounded inside the plant, he told The Associated Press in an interview from Mariupol on Sunday.
“There’s rubble. We have no special equipment. It’s hard for soldiers to pick up slabs weighing tons only with their arms,” he said.
The Azovstal plant is strewn with mines, rockets, artillery shells and unexploded cluster ordnance, he said.
He said the presence of children and civilians makes it harder to fight, and there are many injured people in the plant. There’s not enough water, he said, and the air smells of decomposing bodies.
The fighters in the plant will continue to resist until they receive an order not to, Palamar said.

An explosive device damaged a railway bridge Sunday in the Kursk region of Russia, which borders Ukraine, and a criminal investigation has been started. The region’s government reported the blast in a post on Telegram.
Recent weeks have seen a number of fires and explosions in Russian regions near the border, including Kursk. An ammunition depot in the Belgorod region burned after explosions were heard, and authorities in the Voronezh region said an air defense system shot down a drone. An oil storage facility in Bryansk was engulfed by fire a week ago.
The explosion Sunday caused a partial collapse of the bridge near the village of Konopelka, on the Sudzha-Sosnovy Bor railway, the report from Kursk said.
“It was a sabotage, a criminal case has been opened,” said the region’s governor, Roman Starovoit, according to the Russian News Agency TASS. He said there were no casualties, and no effect on the movement of trains.

KYIV, Ukraine — Four civilians were reported killed and 11 more were injured by Russian shelling in the Donetsk region on Sunday, the Ukrainian regional governor said that evening.
The deaths and seven of the injuries were in the northern city of Lyman, governor Pavlo Kyrylenko wrote in a Telegram post. One person also died in the city of Bakhmut from injuries received in the Luhansk region, he said.
In the same post, Kyrylenko said that it was impossible to determine the number of victims in the bombed-out port city of Mariupol and the town of Volnovakha, which is controlled by pro-Kremlin separatists. | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/world-news/ap-international/live-updates-l-turkey-plans-for-russian-tourists-despite-war/ | 2022-05-02T11:08:08Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/world-news/ap-international/live-updates-l-turkey-plans-for-russian-tourists-despite-war/ | false |

Chris painted the partial wall (above the Vigo Industries sink and Cifial faucet) in Rust-Oleum chalkboard paint. "It's kind of hokey," he says, "but I actually do use it." Most recently on the board: "bread", "OJ", "milk" (crossed off), and "mayonnaise" (crossed off). "It's convenient when we're cooking and run out of stuff. We write it down and then transfer it to the grocery list later," Chris says. Up next for Chris are a cottage project in Ontario, Canada, and a loft renovation in Boston. But with two of their own kitchen renovations completed within the past two years, the Greenawalts are now ready to rest and stay put in their own home and savor the results.

Dozens of villagers are fighting plans to build on war memorial land in Derbyshire. An application to build a bungalow on gardens of the Sunnyside Almshouses, in Newton Solney, has been submitted and has met with numerous objections.
More than 80 villagers and the Newton Solney Parish Council oppose the plans on the grounds that the land is an official war memorial, the four almshouses having been built to house the poor and elderly in the aftermath of the Second World War.
The Percy William Ratcliff Cottages Trust has applied to build the two-bed detached bungalow and it is understood that the land itself has been purchased by a mystery buyer, reports Staffordshire Live.
One objector, Karen Makin Wall, said: "These people [in the existing almshouses] are elderly and vulnerable. Some will look out of their bedroom window and see the boundary wall instead of their garden. It is a beautiful little spot. The whole garden was given to the residents. If it goes ahead they will have to rename it Darkside instead of Sunnyside. Residents are now waiting with bated breath to see what happens."
She added that some of the proposed six car parking spaces had been earmarked for existing residents, but they did not drive. Other objectors will impact on the character of the area and the wildlife. They also claim the application fails to demonstrate a housing need.
Under the trust's plans, the buyer would live there "for the foreseeable future", but the two-bed detached bungalow would eventually be converted into two new almshouses.
The application submitted to South Derbyshire District Council has been recommended for approval by the authority's planning bosses, who will decided whether to give it the green light tomorrow, Tuesday, May 3.
The mystery buyer, who has given "an extremely generous" donation to the trust, is in their 60s and has a direct blood relative living in the village, a report to the council's planning committee revealed. The trust also added that the cash would be of "enormous benefit" to ensure the longevity of the trust as it could not afford to build any additional property for itself.
The original trust was set up on January 1, 1951, and was designed to provide accommodation for the poor who have resided in the parish of Newton Solney for no less than five years. Over the years, different people have lived in the bungalows. Since then, there have been no sizeable bequests to the trust and it is doubtful that any would be forthcoming in the immediate future, the trust previously said.
The council's conservation officer said in the report that overall the building would sit comfortably beside its existing neighbours. The officer also added: "Additionally, the presence of two sets of almshouses in close proximity, despite their differing style, does add to the character of the conservation area and tells a story of ongoing acts of local philanthropy which the proposal would, in the longer term, represent a continuation of as the property would be gifted to the almshouses trust and ultimately be available to provide further accommodation for the trust to utilise."
Planning officers at the council concluded in their report: "While the loss of both the open space to the front of the existing Sunnyside Bungalows and the holly tree is regrettable, these points are considered to be outweighed by the benefits of providing an additional bungalow to be used in the long term by the trust and also securing the long term future of the charitable trust.
"This is in the context of applying an appropriate mechanism to secure the long term benefits of providing an additional bungalow put forward by the applicant and the ability to secure a landscaping scheme that will mitigate the loss of the holly tree." | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/derbyshire-villagers-bid-stop-housebuilding-7026200 | 2022-05-02T11:40:35Z | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/derbyshire-villagers-bid-stop-housebuilding-7026200 | false |
A young family resides in the five-bedroom house: Stephen, who works in advertising, Anita, a lawyer who works in financial services, two young children, and two basset hounds. The open-plan ground level is meant to be flexible, and its layout can be adapted as the family's needs change over time. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the river that runs right by the structure. | https://www.dwell.com/@bradanderson690 | 2022-05-02T11:45:31Z | https://www.dwell.com/@bradanderson690 | false |

Enterprise Products' crude pipeline volumes rise 16%
HOUSTON, May 2 (Reuters) - Enterprise Products Partners LP's crude pipeline volumes rose by 16% in the first quarter, the U.S. energy pipeline operator said on Monday, as demand recovered.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine and worries of a supply crunch increased prices of U.S. oil and natural gas by more than 33% and 50% in the quarter respectively, driving producers to boost output and increase volumes though pipelines.
Crude oil pipeline transportation volume rose to 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd), in the quarter ended March 31, from 1.9 million bpd a year earlier.
Volumes climbed on the company's Midland-to-ECHO pipeline, which transports crude from the heart of the Permian basin, to Enterprise's ECHO terminal in Houston, and on its crude oil gathering systems in West Texas and southeast New Mexico that connect to its terminal in Midland, Texas, Enterprise said.
Crude volumes handled by the company's marine terminals also rose 39% to 796 million bpd.
Natural gas pipelines transported 16.4 trillion British thermal units per day, 20% higher than in the year-ago quarter, as demand for the fuel surged in Europe after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a "special military operation."
To capitalize on increased demand for natural gas, Enterprise in January agreed to buy Warburg Pincus-owned Navitas Midstream for $3.25 billion.
Pipeline operators, including Enterprise, have also sought to re-purpose some of their vast network of energy pipelines. Enterprise and Occidental Petroleum's low carbon venture announced https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220425005930/en plans last month to work toward a potential carbon dioxide transportation and sequestration solution for the Texas Gulf Coast.
Total revenue rose 42% to $13 billion, beating analysts' average estimate of $10.39 billion, according to Refinitiv IBES.
Excluding one-time items, profit of 59 cents per share also beat expectations of 53 cents per share.

Flexible benefits cover changing needs of workers in post-pandemic environment
COLUMBUS, Ga., May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac Incorporated, a leading provider of supplemental insurance products in the U.S., today announced the launch of its newly redesigned Aflac Group Critical Illness Insurance to help employers better support the changing needs of their valued workers in a post-pandemic environment. The newly designed product includes more standard and optional benefits, giving employers greater flexibility to design the coverage plan that meets the unique needs of their workforce. This has become increasingly important as critical illness insurance is one of the five fastest-growing benefits employers offer.1
Aflac's redesigned Group Critical Illness Insurance is a next-generation product, offering coverage for a growing list of acute and chronic conditions. In addition to benefits for serious health events and illnesses — like heart attacks, stroke and cancer — that are traditionally part of a critical illness plan, the redesigned product now gives employers the option to include coverage for infectious diseases, including the flu, pneumonia, human coronavirus and chronic conditions like diabetes.
Aflac's new Group Critical Illness Insurance product also offers a mental illness rider that covers serious mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, major depressive disorder and schizophrenia. This benefit helps address alarming survey data that shows 80% of workers are worried about their mental health,2 particularly as studies show that chronic illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease or diabetes, may increase the likelihood of having or developing a mental health condition.3 Health screenings, including mental health exams that can help detect potential problems before they become more harmful to a covered individual's health, are also available in the plan.
"The past two years have taught us that being prepared for potential medical challenge is essential for employers to maintain a safe and healthy workforce," said Bob Ruff, senior vice president, Aflac Group Voluntary Benefits. "Aflac's new Group Critical Illness Insurance, including new mental health and infectious disease coverage, allows employers to keep their benefits program robust in a way that is meaningful and relevant for today's workforce, while not impacting budget and cost constraints."
"Employees bring their whole selves to work. That includes everything they're dealing with physically, mentally and financially, and the last two years have been especially challenging," said Kim Rudeen, vice president, Aflac Product Development and Management. "Aflac's Group Critical Illness Insurance products were designed to meet today's rapidly changing benefits environment with flexible coverage that helps take care of expenses health insurance doesn't cover. Insured individuals can use their benefits to help with medical co-pays, deductibles and prescriptions or everyday living expenses like rent, utilities or child care."
Highlights of Aflac's strengthened Critical Illness Insurance product include:
- Hospitalization benefit for treatment of a covered infectious disease that is payable on day one of intensive care unit confinement or day four of hospital confinement, whichever is the highest applicable benefit.
- Expanded tests and screenings: New health screening benefits encourage people to seek care that can help detect health concerns, including annual vision exams, testing for certain human coronaviruses, biopsies, immunizations, genetic screening tests and mental health screenings.
- Customizable coverage: Modular expansions cover more chronic and serious illnesses that can be expensive to treat and could possibly lead to higher health insurance costs. The progressive disease rider provides optional coverage for conditions like COPD, Crohn's disease, advanced Parkinson's disease and advanced Alzheimer's disease, while the specified disease rider now covers human coronavirus, pneumonia, influenza, bird flu and Ebola.
- Cancer treatment rider: Rarely seen on a critical illness plan, this new rider provides benefits for therapy, hospitalization, inpatient and outpatient surgery, blood and plasma.

Products and benefits vary by state and are not currently available in all states.

India a major growth engine; to account for around 20% of overall topline in 5 yrs: FM Logistic
FM Logistic India, which opened its first owned multi-client facility in Farrukhnagar (Haryana) last week, has a presence in 90 locations and manages more than 7 million sq ft of warehousing space. It provides warehousing and distribution logistics services for the FMCG, retail, automotive, e-commerce, engineering, telecom, pharma and other sectors. It has four multi-client facilities (MCFs) -- one each in Bengaluru and Gurugram and two in Mumbai.
French third-party logistics company FM Logistic has said India is a significant growth engine for the company and it is expecting its business here to account for 20-25% of the overall topline in the next five years.
The company also said FM Logistic India has grown three times in both revenue and land space under its possession since its entry in the domestic market after acquiring Pune-based logistics firm Spear Logistics.
FM Logistic India, which opened its first owned multi-client facility in Farrukhnagar (Haryana) last week, has a presence in 90 locations and manages more than 7 million sq ft of warehousing space. It provides warehousing and distribution logistics services for the FMCG, retail, automotive, e-commerce, engineering, telecom, pharma and other sectors. It has four multi-client facilities (MCFs) -- one each in Bengaluru and Gurugram and two in Mumbai.
"India is a major country for us, a significant engine for growth. As a family-owned company, this country is a part of our future for the long-term. We have a long-term view on India. So, we see this country as a country where we can do business," Jean-Christophe Machet, Global CEO, FM Logistic, told PTI in an interaction.
Stating that the Indian subsidiary was able to post a 50 per cent growth in turnover in the previous fiscal despite the pandemic, he said the company is expecting 40 per cent growth this fiscal.
According to a company presentation, besides 50 per cent growth in turnover, FM Logistic India increased its warehousing footprint by 20 per cent during FY22, while 30 per cent of its total revenue came from multi-client facilities.
Also, 60 per cent of the new contracts that FM Logistic India signed during the previous fiscal were for omni-channel operations.
"I think, probably, 20 per cent or a quarter of FM Logistic's total revenue will come from India operations in the next five years," Machet said without giving specific numbers.
In September last year, FM Logistic had while presenting its new strategy 'Powering 2030' -- designed to address profound changes in the retail industry and supply chain management as consumers spend more online -- said that it was aiming to double its revenue to 3 billion euros in 2030 by focusing on omni-channel supply chain.
The French firm had in 2019 announced investment to the tune of 150 million euros (about Rs 1,200 crore) for five years for setting up warehouses in India.
Machet said as much as one-third of this investment has already been consumed with 30 million euros going into the first phase of the Farrukhnagar facility alone.
"This (150 million euro) investment is sufficient to implement our business plan for the next 3-5 years. Majority of this investment will go into setting up of MCFs," he said.
Located on a 31-acre site, the state-of-the-art facility at Farrukhnagar will offer 7.6-lakh sq ft of warehousing space, providing warehousing and handling, co-packing, distribution, e-commerce and omni-channel services to cater to the dynamic demands of customers, the company said at the launch.
FM Logistic India is currently among the top three logistic services providers in the domestic market, focused on grade-A multi-client facilities, dedicated warehouses near its customers' manufacturing centres and modern logistics hubs.
Noting that all the segments are of strategic importance for the company, FM Logistic India Managing Director Alexandre-Amine Soufiani said sectors such as FMCG, e-commerce, automotive and retail, among others, are expected to drive growth in the next 2-3 years.
He said the company is looking to almost double its footprint to 12-million sq ft from over 7-million sq ft now and set up six more MCFs to take the total number to 11 by 2026.
"Now more and more of our customers are looking at optimising the last-mile deliveries as well. And again, we are not just entering the last mile-delivery and doing what the others are doing. We're looking at a quality kind of service in the last-mile delivery," he said. Also Read:
Already a number of e-commerce companies have committed to EV fleets. These include Flipkart, Myntra, IKEA and Zomato which have committed to 100% EV transition by 2030 and Amazon which has committed to inducting 10,000 EVs by 2030.
The buses will benefit from the central government subsidy offered under the remodeled FAME II scheme administered by the Ministry of Heavy Industries. “With the very low discovered prices under the Grand Challenge, a savings of approximately Rs 361 crore of national subsidy can be realised, which in turn may be utilised for additional buses,” it said.
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.

Vietnam, Japan agree to boost trade, security ties
Chinh said the two "agreed to boost cooperation in post-pandemic trade, strengthen supply chains and energy transition, in accordance with mutual interests".
By Khanh Vu and Elaine Lies HANOI: Japan and Vietnam agreed on Sunday to boost economic and security ties while calling for an end to the war in Ukraine, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said during a Southeast Asia tour.
"We'll strengthen bilateral ties in order to put the economies of both nations back on a clear recovery path in the wake of the coronavirus," Kishida told reporters in Hanoi after meeting with his counterpart, Pham Minh Chinh.
Chinh said the two "agreed to boost cooperation in post-pandemic trade, strengthen supply chains and energy transition, in accordance with mutual interests".
Japan is Vietnam's largest provider of official development aid and third-largest source of foreign direct investment. Bilateral trade rose 8.4% last year to $42.9 billion, according to Vietnam customs data.
Kishida and Chinh said they discussed regional responses to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and to disputes in the South China Sea, where China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei have competing territorial claims.
"We agreed that any change in the status quo by force cannot be recognised," Kishida said, referring to the Ukraine crisis. "We agreed on the need for the war to end immediately."
Kishida said he and Chinh "also agreed to strongly oppose any attempts to change the status quo by force in the South China Sea."
Kishida held similar discussions with Indonesia on Friday.
Chinh announced Vietnam's donation of $500,000 for humanitarian aid to Ukraine via international organisations.
He said Vietnam expects to begin exporting longan to Japan in September, followed by other produce such as grapefruit, avocado and rambutan, while opening its market for Japanese grapes.
Kishida said Japan will support an energy transition toward sources such as biomass, hydrogen and ammonia in Vietnam, which has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
The government will tap reserves set aside under the current fiscal year's budget to fund some of the measures that require fresh spending, Kishida said at a meeting of cabinet ministers to finalise the package.
The buses will benefit from the central government subsidy offered under the remodeled FAME II scheme administered by the Ministry of Heavy Industries. “With the very low discovered prices under the Grand Challenge, a savings of approximately Rs 361 crore of national subsidy can be realised, which in turn may be utilised for additional buses,” it said.

CFA Chartered.|Mumbai and Chennai offices\nAfter months, perhaps longer with all the upsells on flirting on email or texts with strangers, there must surely arrive the right ‘hook.’ However, after I took your phone you will realist and weed our own relationships down because most don,t matter at all to ourselves so if she don.

Companion Piece helps us see our world in a different light by finding points of contact between two plagues and two female artists, five centuries apart.
Smith's 11th novel is most similar to her award-winning literary diptych, How To Be Both (2014), in which she paired a 15th century gender-bending Italian artist who died young of the plague with a contemporary teen's grief over the untimely death of her mother, a brilliant economic journalist. This time around, she features a middle-aged painter who layers the words of poems onto canvases (akin to the way Smith builds layers of meaning in her novels), and a gifted 16th century blacksmith and metalworker who is brutalized for attempting to ply her trade as a girl.
Companion Piece is also in line with Smith's recent Seasonal Quartet, written in real time, incorporating current events such as Covid lockdowns, and sharing this engaged and engaging author's overarching concerns with grief, human warmth, cruelty, language, and art. Ever intent on expanding our understanding of others and the world we share, Smith's work is brainy and moving, thoughtful and playful — and never irrelevant.
But timely though her work may be, Smith is not one to eschew the long view: History matters to her, and so do artists and artisans from the past — almost as much as words. Companion Piece is, among other things, a passionate paean to books, which Smith's narrator, Sandy Gray, insists are important not just because they're pleasurable, but "because they're one of the ways we can imagine ourselves otherwise."
When we meet her, Sandy is frustratingly barred from visiting her father, recently hospitalized after a severe heart attack, because of Covid restrictions. While anxiously awaiting updates from his nurse, she receives a call from a woman she barely knew at college. This virtual stranger, Martina, launches into a strange story about being locked up by brutish airport agents in a windowless room upon her return from a work trip abroad to transport a priceless museum artifact, the intricate (and fictional) 16th century Boothby Lock. During her seven-and-a-half hour incarceration, Martina hears strange voices saying "Curfew or Curlew. You choose."
She has called Sandy because she thought that if anyone could figure out the meaning of this baffling message, it might be the classmate who had helped her parse an e.e. cummings poem that had completely flummoxed her. "You just knew what things meant. Generally," Martina tells Sandy.
About that e.e. cummings poem: Sandy's undergraduate exegesis offers a key to Smith's not always transparent novels: "Just look at the words. They'll tell you what they mean. Because it's what words do," she encourages Martina — and readers. Sandy points out that what looks like a random cascade of letters urges us to "trust meaninglessness." The poem, she says, with its anagram for DEATH, suggests that "there's a way to be playful even in times of really terrible doubt."
One of Smith's great gifts as a writer is verbal playfulness — a joy of lex — even in dark times. Sandy's clever riffs on the possible implications of curfew versus curlew again drive home this point: "The thinking game...There's always a payoff one way or another." One pertinent association with the curlews' long beaks are the plague masks people wore centuries ago to keep germs at a distance.
Smith's wit takes flight when Sandy's home is invaded by Martina's twin daughters, who accuse her of having seduced their mother. One girl speaks in text shorthand, hilarious when transliterated as "eye em oh" and "double you eff aitch." The absurd situation escalates amid miscommunications and delightful verbal sparring. When Sandy, fearful of becoming infected and not being able to visit her father, asks anxiously if the twins have masks, they reply, "Absolutely not....We've nothing to hide."
At another point, Sandy, nicknamed Shifting Sands at college because of her bisexuality, earnestly attempts to connect with the twin named Lea over her T-shirt, on which is scrawled "they/them":
"It's one of this era's real revolutions. And one of the most exciting things about language, that grammar's as bendy as a live green branch on a tree. Because if words are alive to us then meaning's alive, and if grammar's alive then the connection in it, rather than the divisions in us, will be energizing everything, one way or another. It means an individual person can be both individual and plural at the same time. And I've always believed there's real room to move in embracing the indeterminate."
But Lea cuts her flat: "Actually, I'm very determined...And in my usage it's a singular they. It's to signal that gender is irrelevant to me. It's to cancel the binary."
By exploring binaries such as imagination versus reality, surface versus depth, real versus fake, and stories versus lies — with their often blurred boundaries — Companion Piece challenges readers to embrace the indeterminate. Smith, on fire, welds so many elements into this short novel — including Sandy's dreams and childhood memories and the terrible ordeals of a talented, steely 16th century waif — that the result is as intricate as that artisanal lock.

Keir Starmer accuses the Conservatives of pre-election 'mudslinging' over lockdown beers footage
At the time Sir Keir Starmer was pictured drinking a beer with people in an office, people in England were banned from mixing indoors apart from for work.
Monday 2 May 2022 13:05, UK
Sir Keir Starmer has accused Conservative MPs of "mudslinging" over footage of him drinking a beer with colleagues at a time when COVID restrictions were in place.
The Labour leader told broadcasters those pictured were working and paused for some food and that "no rules were broken".
At the time, people in England were banned from mixing indoors apart from for work.
He added that there is a stark contrast between the incident and the behaviour in Downing Street which is "the most fined workplace in the whole of the UK".
What's going on with Tory MP accused of watching porn in the chamber? - politics latest
In recent days, Sir Keir has come under increased pressure over the event - at which he was caught on camera drinking beer with activists in the Durham constituency office of the local MP Mary Foy in the run-up to the Hartlepool by-election
Last week, the Labour Party confirmed its deputy leader Angela Rayner was also in attendance, having previously told journalists she was not present at the gathering last April when coronavirus restrictions were in force.
But a party source said it was a "mistake made in good faith" and Sir Keir has insisted it "makes absolutely no difference" as no rules had been broken.
Starmer under pressure over Durham beer
Probed on the matter on Monday, he told reporters: "We were working. It was days before the election. We paused for something to eat.
"There was no party, no rules were broken. There is nothing I can add to that."
Asked if he would like to issue any further clarification on what to place, the Labour leader continued: "There was no party, no breach of the rules.
"This is a few days from the election, I know what's going on here - Tories are desperately trying to talk about anything other than the cost of living, chucking as much mud as possible.
"If they spent as much energy and as much focus on people's bills and the tax that they are whacking people for then millions of people would be grateful for that.
"So I think this is classic two or three days before an election mudslinging from the Tories.
"But I have got nothing to add."
'There was no party, no rules were broken'
Speaking on Sky News' Ridge on Sunday programme, the Labour leader said his party made a "genuine mistake" when it said Ms Rayner was not at a campaigning event in Durham that he was photographed at drinking a beer.
Asked if the deputy leader was at the office, Sir Keir said: "Yes. We were in the office, we were working, we paused for something to eat, there was no party, no rules were broken and that is the long and short of it.
"I know what is going on here, we have got an election on Thursday and there are just Tory MPs trying to throw mud around because they have got nothing to say on the central issue of the cost of living."
He later said Labour did not realise it had made a mistake when it said Ms Rayner was not at the Durham event last year.
Sir Keir said: "We were asked twice and I didn't even realise we had made a mistake until it came out this week. We are a busy office, we made a mistake, it is a genuine mistake and I take responsibility for it."
Tory MP calls for police to probe event
Richard Holden, the Conservative MP for North West Durham, has been pressing police to reconsider their decision not investigate the event following the fine issued to Boris Johnson for attending a birthday gathering in No 10.
But Labour has rejected that there is any equivalence with the Downing Street partygate scandal, which has rocked the government.
Durham Police confirmed it had received "a number of further communications" that it will be responding to, but said it is not currently investigating the matter.
Meanwhile, Mr Holden has said he has accepted an apology from Ms Foy after she had "drunkenly" abused him on the Commons terrace on Tuesday night for asking police to review claims Sir Keir broke lockdown rules.
The incident, reportedly witnessed by several people, happened as MPs waited for late-night votes.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Mr Holden said: "Mary Kelly Foy has given me a wholehearted apology after, unprovoked, she drunkenly approached, berated and grabbed me on the terrace of parliament on Tuesday evening in front of other MPs and members of staff.
"I have accepted her apology and consider the matter closed."
A party source confirmed Ms Foy had issued a personal apology.

Met Police partygate investigation continues
The Metropolitan Police's investigation into lockdown-breaching parties held across Downing Street and Whitehall is still ongoing.
Last month, the prime minister, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Mr Johnson's wife Carrie Johnson were all issued fixed-penalty notices for attending an event to mark the prime minister's 56th birthday.
The prime minister, who has faced persistent calls to resign over partygate and apologised to MPs in a performance high on contrition, is thought to have been at more of the 12 events under investigation by Scotland Yard.
The Met Police has said it will not issue any further partygate updates before the May local elections.

5 things the Peoria Rivermen need to do to finish off the SPHL championship series
ROANOKE, Va. — The Peoria Rivermen are ready and waiting for Game 3 of the 2022 SPHL President's Cup Finals against the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs.
But they want to avoid overthinking things as they take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 series into Monday night with a chance to clinch a championship.
"Championships, our past in the league, those are things everyone else can think about, not us," Rivermen coach Jean-Guy Trudel said after the team arrived in Roanoke on Saturday afternoon. "I'm not looking at the big picture. We're just looking at the next game and we're going to take it step-by-step.
"We want to make sure we approach each game the way we have all year."
The Rivermen have gone 22 years through three leagues and four ownership groups since they last won a championship as part of the ECHL in 2000.

If they are going to end the 2022 SPHL President's Cup Finals in Roanoke, they'll have to do these key things:
Rivermen must strike early
The Rivermen should skate with a high tempo and get the game's first goal. Get traffic at the net on Roanoke's goaltenders. The Rivermen are 5-0 in this postseason when leading after the first period.
"We have to match the intensity Roanoke plays with at home," Trudel said. "These are things we prepare for with every game we play. They will rise off the momentum of their fans. If we can match that intensity we can keep that momentum even."
Peoria must get solid goaltending
Peoria needs to continue getting hot outings from Rivermen goaltender Jack Berry, who has allowed 14 goals in seven games this postseason. Goaltending influences momentum.
"That's a huge thing for us," Trudel said.
Rivermen must win special teams
The Rivermen penalty-kill unit has to step up and improve. Peoria led the SPHL with an 88.3 percent penalty killing unit, but their playoff percentage is 78 percent — sixth among the playoff teams.
The Peoria power play unit has to continue to produce. The Rivermen led the SPHL with a 27.9 percent power play percentage in the regular season.

Slow down Roanoke's top rookie
Slow down Roanoke rookie Nick Ford, who has a playoff-best five-game points streak in the works.
The 6-foot, 205-pounder had 14 goals and 14 assists and a plus-13 in 27 games this regular season with Roanoke.
Get top play from Peoria's best
The Rivermen's best players have to be the best players in the game.
Peoria must get intense, high-level performances from hometown captain Alec Hagaman (28 goals, 43 assists), center and SPHL Most Valuable Player Alec Baer (26 goals, 54 assists) and wingers like Jordan Ernst and SPHL Rookie of the Year Marcel Godbout.

Roanoke created T-shirts emblazoned with "Nothin' but a bunch of Dirty Dawgs" on them, and they sold out in 35 minutes last week, according to the Roanoke Times. The shirts were a response to an interview given by No. 1 seed Knoxville coach and SPHL Coach of the Year Jeff Carr before their first-round series against No. 8 Roanoke. "I mean, they’re a dirty hockey team, point-blank," Carr said of the Dawgs. "They play a hard, aggressive-style game. There's blood on the ice every time we play them. They hit us after the whistle. They hit us after goals. They're an undisciplined, dirty hockey team." ... The Rivermen are 8-6 all-time in the SPHL in playoff games in which they can eliminate their opponent. ... Rivermen center Alec Baer leads all playoff scorers with 10 points, but teammates Alec Hagaman, Marcel Godbout and Lordanthony Grissom are chasing at nine points each. ... Baer and winger Jordan Ernst each have a playoffs-best six goals. ... Hagaman leads the SPHL postseason with seven assists. ... Rivermen goaltender Jack Berry is 5-2 with a 2.26 goals-against and .928 saves rate. ... Roanoke goaltender Austyn Roudebush is at 2.36 and .924. ... Roanoke is 2-0 in the playoffs at home and out-scored opponents 10-4 at Berglund Center. ... Game 3 of the SPHL President's Cup Finals between the Rivermen and Roanoke can be seen at a Watch Party hosted by Bullpen Sports Bar & Grill in the Landmark recreation complex in Peoria at 6 p.m. Monday.

DUBLIN, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo International plc (NASDAQ: ENDP) announced today that its subsidiary Endo Ventures Limited (EVL) acquired six development-stage, ready-to-use injectable product candidates from Nevakar Injectables Inc., a subsidiary of Nevakar, Inc.
"These six product candidates that would be used in critical care settings meaningfully expand Endo's ready-to-use injectable product pipeline," said Scott Sims, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Injectable Solutions & Generics at Endo. "We look forward to further developing and bringing these durable and differentiated products to market—and to the healthcare providers and patients who need them."
The product candidates are in various stages of development, with the first launch expected in 2025. With the acquisition, Endo controls all remaining development, approval, launch and commercialization activities for these product candidates. Endo's Par Sterile Products business will commercialize the products in the United States.
Under the terms of the agreement, EVL purchased the six product candidates from Nevakar Injectables for a one-time payment of $35 million. The one-time payment is expected to be expensed immediately in the second quarter as acquired in-process research and development costs. This acquisition is separate from Endo's previously announced exclusive licensing agreement with Nevakar.
Ready-to-use, or RTU, products help streamline operations for hospitals by eliminating the need to prepare or transfer the product before patient administration. This may reduce waste and costs, optimize convenience and workflow and reduce the chance for preparation error—all of which support quality patient care.

MSNBC enduring Maddow absences, Psaki ethics drama as it seeks identity in Biden era
Maddow 'existential importance' to network primetime is apparent when she's gone, MSNBC insider says
MSNBC's biggest star announced this month she will be only doing her show one day a week. What some hope will be the liberal network's next standout is still officially representing the president of the United States.
It's a strange time at MSNBC, which is undergoing something of an identity crisis in the Biden era.
Rachel Maddow, by far MSNBC's highest-rated host and a mainstay of its primetime lineup for over a decade, will only appear on Mondays beginning this month, while Jen Psaki, reportedly set to join the streaming platform Peacock as a host and also appear across MSNBC programs as a commentator, still remains President Biden's White House press secretary and occasionally spars with future colleagues.
RACHEL MADDOW ANNOUNCES SHE'S ROLLING BACK MSNBC SHOW, WILL HOST ONLY MONDAY NIGHTS STARTING IN MAY
Maddow made the announcement in April after returning from a hiatus dating back to January, only months after reportedly re-upping with the network for an eye-popping $30 million per year.
In her absence, MSNBC still billed it the "The Rachel Maddow Show" but with fill-in hosts, such as Ali Velshi and Ayman Mohyeldin.
Maddow’s decision to cut her show appearances to one day a week comes after her lowest-rated month in the demo since November 2015. From April 4 to 8, she had her worst-rated week since 2016, averaging about 1.3 million viewers. "The Rachel Maddow Show" averaged 2.7 million viewers during the same dates in 2021 when she hosted each night, and she averaged 2 million nightly viewers during January 2022 before she stepped aside.
"You see the existential importance of a single person on all of prime time when she's not there," an MSNBC insider told Fox News Digital.
RACHEL MADDOW ON HIATUS LEAVES MSNBC ‘LOST AT SEA,’ CRITICS SAY
Another MSNBC insider said Maddow essentially calling the shots "shows what kind of a powerful voice she is."
"She's incredibly captivating as a broadcaster," they said. "She's Michael Jordan. I think she's the best in the the business right now."
Imagine the Chicago Bulls paying Jordan to sit out four out of every five games, though.
"Rachel Maddow hosting one day a week … is almost like her not hosting at all – no matter what MSNBC tries to spin, her show is gone for good," Fourth Watch media newsletter editor Steve Krakauer told Fox News Digital. "Cable news is all about consistency, and habits – MSNBC will now have to rely on a new host to form a relationship with viewers at 9 p.m."
Who that will be is a 30-million-dollar question for MSNBC; fans have frequently floated rabidly anti-GOP host Nicolle Wallace – a reliable Democratic booster and a big Jen Psaki fan – as a possibility for the time slot. She, along with Maddow and far-left host Joy Reid anchor MSNBC's special political news coverage, and Maddow will continue to appear for such broadcasts along with her Monday nights in primetime.
CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy said the effort to use fill-in hosts to hold Maddow's ratings had not proven successful.
"It really hasn't worked out well for MSNBC," Darcy said of Maddow's absences last month on CNN+. "It's going to take a while for a new host to also build a relationship … This is a big problem for them."
REPORTER TELLS POLITICO THEY'RE AFRAID TO BATTLE PSAKI: ‘MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN A--HOLE’
NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde, who started the gig in May 2020, is the high-powered executive who paid Maddow and oversees NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC. A former high-level employee of NBC News who is familiar with the company’s inner workings told Fox News Digital last month when Maddow announced her reduced workload that he should be held responsible.
"Cesar Conde should be fired for the embarrassing Maddow deal alone where she’s paid eight figures to barely work while MSNBC ratings crater," the former NBC News staffer said.
Psaki's plans to join the liberal network have excited its base of viewers; the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee even sent a fundraising email off the news. Meanwhile, Psaki's continued interactions with NBC News reporters when she's set to be one of their de facto co-workers has raised eyebrows among some media watchdogs.
Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism professor of professional practice Bill Grueskin believes Psaki should have been more transparent weeks ago.
"Psaki should have either delayed negotiating with networks until her resignation was in place, or she should have been upfront about the negotiations once they started," Grueskin told Fox News Digital. "Now, of course, we know that she's bound for MSNBC, and viewers can take that into account when they see her these days in the White House press room or later in front of a studio camera."
During April 1's press briefing, NBC News chief White House correspondent Kristen Welker, a future colleague of Psaki's, pressed her, "Given the reports ... how can you continue to be an effective briefer if you do in fact have plans to join a media outlet?"
PSAKI GRILLED OVER CONDUCTING JOB NEGOTIATIONS WITH MSNBC WHILE SERVING AS PRESS SECRETARY
"Well, I have nothing, again, to announce about any conversations or any future plans," Psaki reiterated before vowing that whenever she leaves the White House she will first be spending time with her family.
Welker continued grilling her, asking "how is it ethical to have these conversations with media outlets while you continue to have a job standing behind that podium?" Psaki pointed to the "stringent ethical and legal requirements" she insisted she has abided by regarding her future plans.
On April 20, during a panel moderated by NBC's Kelly O'Donnell on "The Modern Presidency," O'Donnell addressed the elephant in the room and asked Psaki if she could share anything about her future plans, citing reports she was set to join MSNBC.
"I have no personal knowledge about any of that," O'Donnell told the audience. "Is there anything you can tell us about your future?"
"Not yet," Psaki said. "Nothing at this point to announce, but at some point, there will be another person in this job."
"Well I want to push you to make news, but I don't want to push you out the door," O'Donnell said.
But while CNN reported that NBC News staffers are annoyed that Conde would bring Psaki into the fold when she’s still working as Biden’s mouthpiece, the former high-level staffer called the whole ordeal "silly."
"Whoever is leaking that just wants to let people know NBC News is supposedly independent," the ex-employee said.
Another MSNBC insider told Fox News Digital, however, that there have been tensions between NBC's White House unit and MSNBC in the past over the latter's progressive content, putting the former in an "uncomfortable" position. They said that's cooled of late as MSNBC's dayside programming as become more news-heavy, as opposed to its staunchly liberal content that begins at 4 p.m. each day with Nicolle Wallace's "Deadline: White House."
Psaki's dalliance with MSNBC and its reputation for defending the Biden administration was fodder for comic Trevor Noah at last weekend's White House Correspondents Dinner.
Addressing Psaki, he said, "Right now your job is to make the Biden administration look good at all costs. Now that you’re at MSNBC … hmm, actually, you’ll be fine."
Watchdogs aren't impressed with how Psaki is handling the situation, however.
"It's absurd that she's essentially holding two jobs at once – working for the White House while she's an MSNBC-host-in-waiting. She needs to leave the White House immediately and stop the charade," Krakauer said.
University of North Carolina journalism professor Lois Boynton, a fellow at the Parr Center for Ethics, is aware that jumping from the press secretary gig to a news role isn’t anything new, but Psaki’s situation differs from her predecessors because she’s still fielding questions in the James S. Brady Briefing Room on a regular basis and will soon be offering her opinion for the partisan network.
"While most political-to-news transitions are to analyst roles, it appears Psaki will be a host for what NBC News president Noah Oppenheim referred to as MSNBC’s ‘perspective programming side;’ that is, opinion programs," Boynton told Fox News Digital.
Boynton noted that ethics codes for the Public Relations Society of America and Radio Television Digital News Association both address concerns about real, potential and perceived conflicts of interest.
"Bottom line: avoid these conflicts and disclose any that materialize," Boynton said. "The perceptions that can emerge are valid. Will her current employer fear she might favor reporters with scoops in what is presumed to be her next job destination? Will MSNBC reporters ask softball questions since she’s possibly a peer-to-be? And, ultimately, how will public trust in the news be affected?"

Boynton feels it's "evident that some NBC News journalists fear this conflict will rub off" on them as a sister network of MSNBC, which they believe may "further harm their own reputation and trustworthiness."
"There could be further guilt by association if the public presumes this to be another piece of evidence that media generally can’t be trusted," Boynton said. "A shift from press secretary to an MSNBC role, in and of itself, isn’t inherently unethical. It’s knowing Psaki is expected to shift into a role with MSNBC before she has left her present position that results in a conflict of interest. As they say, timing is everything." | https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-maddow-psaki-drama-biden | 2022-05-02T13:31:26Z | https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-maddow-psaki-drama-biden | true |
WaPo reporter caught maskless at White House Correspondents' Dinner despite expressing COVID fears
'This room is like a horror film,' Jada Yuan wrote before going maskless
A Washington Post reporter was caught maskless at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday despite complaining about the crowd and expressing fears about the spread of the coronavirus.
"This room is like a horror film. No exits. Literally getting trapped between tables. Fear of breathing near people but people are everywhere. Creeping sense that you’re the only one who know this is insane," Jada Yuan wrote on Twitter during the event, including a picture that showed a crowd of people seated at tables close together.
WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER RETURNS AFTER TWO-YEAR HIATUS
Yuan was, however, later seen in a photo taken at the event showing her maskless, smiling and standing in a crowd of people.
Critics took to social media to mock Juan, with some pointing out the maskless photo, and others her decision to attend the event and remain there despite her expressed concerns.
"Were you being held hostage?" wrote Charles C.W. Cooke, senior writer at the National Review, with Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, responding with the maskless photo of Juan and saying, "Doesn't look like it."
BIDEN JOKES ABOUT LOW APPROVAL, ‘LET’S GO BRANDON' IN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' SPEECH
Democratic strategist Madeline Conway argued that by Juan's logic "people would literally sit inside their homes doing nothing forever."
"Do get a grip. What’s ‘insane’ is you feeling compelled to both attend and then stay.." wrote Fox Nation host Piers Morgan, while writer Bethany Mandel likened Juan's reaction about the event's crowd to "mental illness."
Journalist Ksenija Pavlovic McAteer pointed out that attendance at the event was voluntary, while American Majority CEO Ned Ryun wrote, "I am so sorry that you were forced to go and then held hostage. . ."

Juan responded to the criticism on Sunday, writing, "A few things: a) I was on assignment to cover. b) everyone was vaxxed, boosted & same-day tested. c) as a reporter roaming the party, I felt the crush of the crowd more than those sitting at tables. d) my sense of doom is no judgment on anyone else. Live your life!"
Saturday's dinner was the event's first following a two-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. | https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-reporter-caught-maskless-white-house-correspondents-dinner-covid-fears | 2022-05-02T13:31:39Z | https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-reporter-caught-maskless-white-house-correspondents-dinner-covid-fears | true |
Arsenal improvements down to lack of European football, claims David Moyes
By PA Staff published
David Moyes believes Arsenal are benefiting from the absence of European football this season as they target third place in the Premier League.
Moyes watched his West Ham side fall to a 2-1 defeat to their London rivals on Sunday as they juggle the demands of trying to reach the Europa League final with an overstretched squad.
It mathematically ended the Hammers’ pursuit of fourth place and Moyes insists Arsenal’s domestic resurgence after a disappointing 2020-21 campaign is partly a result of their reduced workload.
“My goodness, it’s made a difference for them from day one,” Moyes said.
“Arsenal’s improvement this year has been incredible because probably not being involved in Europe has given them the chance to prepare correctly for games.
“They had a bit of a slow start to the season, but they’ve been in terrific form all season. It’s just as well when you have a young team and are trying to get a good enough squad together.
“Last season Arsenal got to the semi-finals of the Europa League and it became quite a difficult season for them because of that. We’re in it this year so we’re a bit the same.”
It all comes down to this. Sevilla is calling… 🇪🇸📞#MondayMotivation | #UELpic.twitter.com/W192zLq8mg— UEFA Europa League (@EuropaLeague) May 2, 2022
The defeat at London Stadium confirmed that West Ham can only qualify for the Champions League if they overhaul a 2-1 deficit when they travel to Eintracht Frankfurt for the decisive leg of their semi-final.
As of Sunday, Kurt Zouma was their only fit centre-back and against Arsenal even he seemed to be feeling the after-effects of a recent ankle injury.
“Of course we’ve got another chance to get into Europe a different way and we’re going to try and do that as well,” Moyes said.
“But the only thing in my head at the moment is this game and how we try to get rid of it and get ready for Thursday.
Business end 💼 pic.twitter.com/LK2M6pgXLq— Premier League (@premierleague) May 1, 2022
“Let’s just hope we can get those little things that are going against us at the moment to turn because we need that.”
Mikel Arteta admitted that Arsenal had “won ugly” in a battling performance that augurs well for the remaining four games of the season.
Third place is now a possibility after Chelsea were defeated 1-0 at Everton and Arteta knows the race for Champions League qualification, which also includes Tottenham, will go down to the wire.
“Mathematically, everything is open. We will have to go to Leeds and win again because everybody is going to put pressure because everyone wants to play in the position that we are in right now,” Arteta said.
“We have to handle that and we have a great opportunity. That willingness and motivation that we have is what is driving us to continue to do so.
“The level in this league is extraordinary. Teams win home and away in the same way and we want to be competing with those guys consistently. We’re proving that we are capable of doing that.”
Defender Ben White has a hamstring injury and is being assessed ahead of Sunday’s clash with Leeds.

Tennessee pauses executions, will review lethal injections
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee is pausing executions to enable an independent review of its lethal injection procedures after a testing oversight forced the state to call off the execution of Oscar Smith an hour before he was to die last month, Republican Gov. Bill Lee said Monday.
Former U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton will review circumstances surrounding the testing of lethal injection chemicals, the clarity of the lethal injection process manual and Tennessee Department of Correction staffing considerations, Lee said in a statement.
“I review each death penalty case and believe it is an appropriate punishment for heinous crimes,” Lee said. “However, the death penalty is an extremely serious matter, and I expect the Tennessee Department of Correction to leave no question that procedures are correctly followed.”
His statement said the pause will remain in effect through the end of the year to allow time for the review and corrective action.
Lee has not explained exactly why the execution was delayed. He issued a brief statement on April 21 at 5:42 p.m. saying that “due to an oversight in preparation for lethal injection, the scheduled execution of Oscar Smith will not move forward tonight. I am granting a temporary reprieve while we address Tennessee Department of Correction protocol.”
Officials initially said Lee would release more details last week, but then said more information would be released Monday.
The move comes after Smith’s attorneys asked last week for a moratorium on executions and a review of the state’s execution protocols.
“Governor Lee’s decision to pause executions pending an independent review of Tennessee’s lethal injection protocol shows great leadership. The use of compounded drugs in the context of lethal injection is fraught with risk. The failure to test for endotoxins is a violation of the protocol. Governor Lee did the right thing by stopping executions because of this breach,” Federal Public Defender Kelley Henry said.
While lethal injection was adopted as a humane alternative to the electric chair, it has been the subject of consistent problems and lawsuits.
Tennessee uses a three-drug series to put inmates to death: midazolam, a sedative to render the inmate unconscious; vecuronium bromide, to paralyze the inmate; and potassium chloride, to stop the heart. Officials have said the inmates are unconscious and unable to feel pain. Expert witnesses for inmates, however, have said the inmates would feel like they are drowning, suffocating and being burned alive, all while unable to move or call out.
Of the seven inmates Tennessee has put to death since 2018 — when Tennessee ended an execution pause stretching back to 2009 — five have chosen to die in the electric chair. Smith declined to make a choice, meaning he was scheduled to be executed by the state’s preferred method of lethal injection.
Smith was sentenced to death for fatally stabbing and shooting his estranged wife, Judith Smith, and her teenage sons, Jason and Chad Burnett, at their Nashville home on Oct. 1, 1989. At 72, Smith is the oldest inmate on Tennessee’s death row. His reprieve expires on June 1, after which the state Supreme Court will set a new execution date.

The last time I wrote this article was before Season of the Splicer in Destiny 2, where we needed 27 exotic catalysts to “catch up” with the current collection in the game that were missing them.
Now, almost a year later, we…now have 28 exotics that need catalysts that don’t have them. Such is the way of Destiny 2, and it’s unlikely we’ll ever fully catch up here, albeit some changes have been made to mitigate this.
Since I wrote this list, some “classic” weapons have indeed gotten their catalysts like Le Monarque and Deathbringer. And while Seasons of the Splicer and Lost added catalysts for all the new exotics that arrived during that season, the same wasn’t quite true of Witch Queen.
So as it stands, here are the top 27 Destiny 2 exotic catalysts we still need:
- Thorn
- Bastion
- Wish-Ender
- Malfeasance
- The Last Word
- Monte Carlo
- Edge of Intent
- Edge of Concurrence
- Edge of Action
- Xenophage
- Tarrabah
- Thunderlord
- Collective Obligation
- Devil’s Ruin
- Eyes of Tomorrow
- One Thousand Voices
- Jotunn
- Parasite
- Truth
- Wavesplitter
- Divinity
- Two-Tailed Fox
- Anarchy
- The Lament
- Queenbreaker
- The Chaperone
- Cloudstrike
- Salvation’s Grip
This is an extremely loose order, so don’t read too much into it. You’ll notice the main new additions are the exotic glaive trio, which are getting buffs this coming season, but so far as we know, no exotic catalyst yet that could perhaps take them to a new level of usefulness. While Osteo Striga and Grand Overture came with catalysts, Parasite did not. One that makes the worm talk more, maybe?
Also since I wrote this, “missing” catalysts from sunset activities have been thrown into the loot pool like for Outbreak Perfected, Whisper of the Worm and Fourth Horseman, so you’re free to get those now.
The big change, of course, is that Bungie has now made orb generation an armor perk. That means any of these weapons can now technically generate orbs if you build for it, and that has had a major effect on Wavesplitter, which is why I bumped it down the list. It’s still not a great system, but this is one advantage that it has, I suppose.
Generally speaking we maybe get 1-2 catalysts from this list a season, but at the current pace, no, we will probably never fully catch up. If the rumors are true and Solar 3.0 is coming this season, that puts my eye toward Xenophage, Devil’s Ruin, Eyes of Tomorrow, One Thousand Voices, Jotunn, Parasite, Two-Tailed Fox and The Lament as solar weapons that could benefit by getting some trigger word added to their arsenal. But we’ll see.

Hydrographist/Data Scientist @EOL/IMO_GECOTS #IOT1. A.13 › PostgreSql to be included to GECeT suite of database programs › HID-UCSF PostgreSql server @ UCSF BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Maine's second-largest electric utility is replacing more than 100,000 electric meters at homes and small- to medium-sized businesses.
Versant Power's current meters are at the end of their service life, so Versant is using the opportunity to upgrade the tech to provide real-time data about electric usage and to help the company identify power outages.
The meters utilize low-level radio frequencies, and some people have expressed health concerns. Like CMP, Versant will allow customers who are worried about the smart meters to opt out and use an analog meter for a fee. | https://www.mainepublic.org/environment-and-outdoors/2022-05-02/versant-power-to-install-more-than-100-000-smart-meters | 2022-05-02T13:55:23Z | https://www.mainepublic.org/environment-and-outdoors/2022-05-02/versant-power-to-install-more-than-100-000-smart-meters | true |
The motto for Grand Valley High School and its 1,400 students in the Pennsylvania borough of Malvern, about 25 miles west of Philadelphia, is “Creating a new age of learning.”
It may be helping create a new age of conversation, too.
By all accounts, political polarization is growing in the United States, having seeped into schools during the pandemic over what steps were needed — or not — to protect children from COVID-19 and now spreading to issues including Critical Race Theory and gender identity. A survey by the RAND Corporation found that nearly 75% of school leaders around the country worry that political polarization disrupts their ability to teach.
That isn't generally the case at Grand Valley High School — especially not in Kim Barben’s Advanced Placement United States Government class.
“We as a society have become so polarized by partisan politics that it really impedes what we can do as a nation,” said Barben, who is celebrating her 20th year as a teacher, during the the past two of which she has taught AP Government at Grand Valley. “It’s important for the kids to understand that once you pull the politics away, you go to the Constitution. That’s really the basis for our government.”
With support from the National Constitution Center and its Interactive Constitution initiative, Barben and hundreds of other teachers across the country have the opportunity to demonstrate to students that not everything need be political. They learn how to disagree without being disagreeable.
It’s a process that Barben’s students have found engaging and useful. Dami Babalola says the class shows how the Constitution still shapes government policy. Safwaan Ahmer says the class draws upon specific passages from the Constitution, which keeps the focus of debates on words and not on disagreements. And Emily De Rezende says she finds the class calming because it seeks answers collaboratively.
“So much of the news is like, you’re on one side or the other,” De Rezende said. “Then you come into this class, where it’s really not about the politics of today. It’s more about looking at what the ideals of our founding documents are and trying to apply the best moral standard to those words.”
“Everyone’s really just trying to do their best to interpret the Constitution in their own way,” she adds.
That reaction is exactly what the National Constitution Center was hoping for when it launched the Interactive Constitution in 2015. Yet its expansion, like so many things during the COVID-19 pandemic, was anything but planned.
“It is based on the idea of common ground, and it’s designed to be America’s leading nonpartisan platform for Constitutional education and debate,” said Jeffrey Rosen, the center’s president and CEO. “It brings together the top liberal and conservative scholars in America, nominated by the conservative Federalist Society and the progressive American Constitution Society, to write about every clause of the Constitution describing what they agree about and what they disagree about.”
That means you can read what the conservative Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett of the Supreme Court thinks about The Suspension Clause and where she disagreed with former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Neil Katyal, who served in the Obama administration and is now an MSNBC contributor. What may be more striking in these polarized times is that you can see where the Barrett and Katyal actually agree.
The National Constitution Center expanded the program to schools in 2019, funded by the Bezos Family Foundation, the Charles Koch Institute and the Laura and Gary Lauder Family Venture Philanthropy Fund. But the program really took off once students turned to virtual learning early in the pandemic.
Kerry Sautner, the center’s chief learning officer, saw it blossom during a virtual discussion about the First Amendment that included students from the United States and 20 other countries. Some students from abroad were confused about the concept of free speech, while the Americans learned that not every country provides the same freedoms theirs does.
“They build these norms together — how we talk to each other, how we give structure to that conversation,” Sautner said. “They can take these skills and apply them for the rest of their lives. And we’re seeing that, which is so exciting.”
The students soon began sharing their lessons and the videos of classes featuring Constitutional scholars with the adults in their lives, further expanding the reach of the program.
Sarah Ruger, vice president of free expression at the Charles Koch Institute, one of the program’s funders, along with the Bezos Family Foundation and the Laura and Gary Lauder Family Venture Philanthropy Fund, said she hopes the program’s success can be scaled for more classrooms across the country.
“What gets me really excited about this program is the format that exposes students to a productive discussion of differing ideas,” Ruger said. “In a democracy as diverse as America is, we cannot — nor would we ever want to — eliminate disagreement. What we have to have is a world where we disagree better and have better-quality conflicts that drive towards innovation and progress and change rather than degrading and polarizing us in a toxic way. And there’s nowhere more critically important to do that than at the K-12 level.”

In Celebration of the Opening of Showcase Cinema de Lux Hanover Crossing This Fall, Showcase Cinemas Brings Back the Hingham Haborworks on July 1, 2022, Hosted by the Hingham Lions Club
NORWOOD, Mass., May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Showcase Cinemas, a world leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, today announced the company's official sponsorship of the 2022 Hingham Haborworks fireworks display and celebration, bringing this beloved tradition back to the South Shore! Presented by Showcase Cinemas and hosted by the Hingham Lions Club, the Hingham Harborworks celebration will take place on July 1, 2022, at Hingham Harbor.
The community-wide fireworks event, which has been a cherished annual Fourth of July tradition for over 25 years, did not take place for the past three years due to lack of funding, volunteers and the pandemic. Given the event's importance to the local community, Showcase Cinemas, which is opening its newest theater location, Showcase Cinema de Lux Hanover Crossing, on the South Shore this fall, decided to step in. With Showcase Cinemas' support, the 2022 Hingham Harborworks will once again give the community the opportunity to watch Hingham Harbor sparkle under the fireworks as part of local Fourth of July celebrations.
"Community involvement is extremely important to us at Showcase Cinemas, and we are thrilled to become part of the fabric of the South Shore with the opening of our newest cinema location at Hanover Crossing this fall," said Mark Malinowski, VP of Global Marketing for Showcase Cinemas. "At our heart, we are an entertainment company, and we couldn't be more proud to work with the Hingham Lions Club to bring this community celebration and tremendous entertainment opportunity back to Hingham, and ensure the 2022 Hingham Harborworks will once again light up the sky and be bigger and better than ever."
"As the host of the Harborworks celebration for over 25 years, we're extremely appreciative of the support from Showcase Cinemas as the catalyst to bring this cherished Fourth of July tradition back to the community," said Mark Casale, Hingham Lions Club. "We enjoy hosting a time-honored event where families and neighbors are able to relax and enjoy, and we look forward to celebrating with everyone on July 1."
The annual fireworks event at Hingham Harbor is a beloved South Shore tradition attracting over 10,000+ South Shore attendees year-after-year. While the event has been on hold since 2019, the Lions Club has a newly formed ad hoc Harborworks Committee of Hingham residents who are committed to bringing the event back better-than-ever before with increased volunteers and the funding and support from Showcase Cinemas.
Showcase Cinema de Lux Hanover Crossing is slated to open in fall 2022 as part of the Hanover Crossing mixed-use development. The cinema will offer eight auditoriums, including an XPlus Laser Premium Large Format auditorium with laser projection, Dolby Atmos™ immersive sound, power recliners and a huge screen. It will also offer a lobby bar and lounge and state-of-the-art concessions stand and box office. The cinema will offer the popular Starpass loyalty program, through which members earn 10% on virtually all purchases and receive a $5 voucher with every $50 spent. Children and families can also join the Showcase Popcorn Club, offering special perks like a free movie ticket and more.

For years, pediatricians have followed flawed guidelines linking race to risks for urinary infections and newborn jaundice. In a new policy announced Monday, the American Academy of Pediatrics said it is putting all its guidance under the microscope to eliminate “race-based” medicine and resulting health disparities.
A re-examination of AAP treatment recommendations that began before George Floyd’s 2020 death and intensified after it has doctors concerned that Black youngsters have been undertreated and overlooked, said Dr. Joseph Wright, lead author of the new policy and chief health equity officer at the University of Maryland's medical system.
The influential academy has begun purging outdated advice. It is committing to scrutinizing its “entire catalog,” including guidelines, educational materials, textbooks and newsletter articles, Wright said.
“We are really being much more rigorous about the ways in which we assess risk for disease and health outcomes," Wright said. “We do have to hold ourselves accountable in that way. It’s going to require a heavy lift."
Dr. Brittani James, a family medicine doctor and medical director for a Chicago health center, said the academy is making a pivotal move.
“What makes this so monumental is the fact that this is a medical institution and it’s not just words. They’re acting," James said.
In recent years, other major doctor groups including the American Medical Association have made similar pledges. They are spurred in part by civil rights and social justice movements, but also by science showing the strong roles that social conditions, genetics and other biological factors play in determining health.
Last year, the academy retired a guideline calculation based on the unproven idea that Black children faced lower risks than white kids for urinary infections. A review had shown that the strongest risk factors were prior urinary infections and fevers lasting more than 48 hours, not race, Wright said.
A revision to its newborn jaundice guidance — which currently suggests certain races have higher and lower risks — is planned for this summer, Wright said.
Dr. Nia Heard-Garris, head of an academy group on minority health and equity and a pediatrician at Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital, noted that the new policy includes a brief history “of how some of our frequently used clinical aids have come to be — via pseudoscience and racism.”
Whatever the intent, these aids have harmed patients, she said.
“This violates our oath as physicians — to do no harm — and as such should not be used,″ Heard-Garris said.
Dr. Valerie Walker, a specialist in newborn care and health equity at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, called the new policy “a critical step” toward reducing racial health disparities.
The academy is urging other medical institutions and specialty groups to take a similar approach in working to eliminate racism in medicine.
"We can’t just plug up one leak in a pipe full of holes and expect it to be remedied," said Heard-Garris. “This statement shines a light for pediatricians and other healthcare providers to find and patch those holes.” | https://www.phillytrib.com/news/health/us-pediatricians-group-moves-to-abandon-race-based-guidance/article_35d17e94-1ec4-53c5-a11e-504355a7152e.html | 2022-05-02T14:09:40Z | https://www.phillytrib.com/news/health/us-pediatricians-group-moves-to-abandon-race-based-guidance/article_35d17e94-1ec4-53c5-a11e-504355a7152e.html | true |
PRAGUE (AP) — Czech Republic coach Jaroslav Šilhavý has been given a contract extension despite the team's failure to reach the World Cup in Qatar.
Czech soccer federation head Petr Fousek said Monday that Šilhavý will remain in charge through 2023 for European Championship qualifying, and his contract will be automatically extended if the Czech Republic qualifies for the 2024 tournament in Germany.
The 60-year-old Šilhavý was hired in 2018 and led the Czech Republic to the quarterfinals of the 2020 European Championship, which was postponed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Czechs also advanced to the top League A in the Nations League but the team failed to advance to one of the playoff finals in European qualifying for the World Cup in March after a 1-0 loss to Sweden in extra time.
“We were pretty disappointed after the playoff in Sweden,” Šilhavý said. “(But) you don’t refuse such a post.”
A former player, Šilhavý was an assistant to Czech Republic coach Karel Bruckner from 2002-08, helping the team reach the semifinals of the 2004 European Championship. He also led Liberec and Slavia Prague to titles in the Czech league.

Pritam Das, University of Washington; Faisal Hossain, University of Washington; Hörður Bragi Helgason, University of Washington, and Shahzaib Khan, University of Washington
(THE CONVERSATION) The Xingu River is revered as the “house of God” by the Indigenous people living along its Volte Grande, or Big Bend, in the Brazilian Amazon. The river is essential to their culture and religion, and a crucial source of fish, transportation and water for trees and plants.
Five years ago, the Big Bend was a broad river valley interwoven with river channels teaming with fish, turtles and other wildlife. Today, as much as 80% of the water flow is gone.
That’s because in late 2015, the massive Belo Monte Dam project began redirecting water from the Xingu River upstream from the Big Bend, channeling it through a canal to a giant new reservoir. The reservoir now powers one of the largest hydropower dams in the world, designed with enough capacity to power around 20 million households, though it has been producing far less.
Most of the river’s flow now bypasses the Big Bend, and the Indigenous peoples who live there are watching their livelihoods and way of life become endangered. Some of the most devastating effects are during the rainy season, when wildlife and trees rely heavily on having high water. The consortium of utilities and mining companies that runs the dam has pushed back on government orders to allow more water to reach the Big Bend, claiming it would cut their generation and profits. The group has argued in the past that there was no scientific proof that the change in water flow harmed fish or turtles.
There is proof of the Belo Monte Dam project’s impact on the Big Bend, though – from above. Satellite data shows how dramatically the dam has altered the hydrology of the river there.
The same satellite data can also point to potential solutions and ways that operators of the Belo Monte Dam could revise the dam’s operations to keep both its renewable power and the Xingu River flowing at the most important times of the year.
As scientists who work with remote sensing, we believe satellite observations can empower populations around the world who face threats to their resources. The fact that satellite observations of surface water of the Xingu River can be clearly tied to the construction and operation of the Belo Monte Dam offers hope that this kind of knowledge can no longer be hidden.
50 years of Earth observation
Satellites have been monitoring changes in Earth’s landscapes for 50 years, ever since the U.S. launched the first Landsat satellite in July 1972. By piecing together data from the Landsat program and other satellites, scientists can reconstruct historical patterns of change in the landscape and predict current and future trends. They can monitor forest cover, drought, wildfire damage and desert expansion, as well as river flows and reservoir operations around the world.
An example of how that data can be used to help threatened communities is the global Reservoir Assessment Tool, which was created by colleagues and one of us at the University of Washington. It monitors how much water is in about 1,600 reservoirs around the world.
Dam operators already collect thorough on-site data about water flow, but their datasets are rarely shared with the public. Remote sensing doesn’t face the same restrictions. Making that data public can help hold operators to account for and protect local communities and their rivers.
How satellites could pressure Belo Monte to share
Satellite monitoring can provide unprecedented insight into the operations of dams like the Belo Monte and their impact on downstream populations.
Existing satellite data can be used to monitor recent historical behavior of a dam’s operations, track the state of the river and patterns of inflow and outflow at the dam, and even forecast the likely state of the reservoir. Much of that data is easily accessible and free. For example, a tool created for the regional governing body of the Mekong River Commission is empowering communities along the river in Southeast Asia by giving them access to satellite data about water flow at each dam – data that cannot be hidden or modified by those in power.
While estimates based on remote sensing have higher uncertainty than on-site measurements, unfettered access to such information can provide local populations with evidence to argue, in court if necessary, for more water releases.
Long-term observations of dams and hydroclimate records show it is possible to revise the standard operating procedures of dams so they allow more water to flow downstream when needed. A compromise with the Belo Monte Dam could ensure that enough water flows to the Xingu’s Big Bend region while also providing hydropower benefits.
By making the impact of the Belo Monte Dam and others like it public to the world, agencies and the general public can put pressure on the dam’s operators and its investors to release more water. Public pressure will become increasingly important, as water disputes in the Amazon are expected to worsen as the planet warms and deforestation continues. Climate change will affect river flow patterns in the Amazon and likely increase droughts, leaving less water during some periods.
A tool for social justice
The Amazonian native population has declined, and dams and nearby mining operations, like those threatening the Xingu’s Big Bend region, play a role. The current Brazilian government under president Jair Bolsonaro has generally sided with wealthy landowners and industry over Indigenous peoples, making access to independent data crucial for protecting these communities.
Monitoring dams is a powerful way satellites can make a difference. Nearly two-thirds of Brazil’s electricity comes from more than 200 large and 400-plus small hydropower plants, and more large dams are expected to be built in the Amazon this decade. Many are in areas with Indigenous populations.

Remote sensing may not directly solve the problem of social injustice, but it offers the tools needed to recognize the problems and explore solutions. Being able to monitor changes in near-real time and compare them with historical operations can help maintain the checks and balances required for equitable growth.

PRAGUE (AP) — Czech Republic coach Jaroslav Šilhavý has been given a contract extension despite the team's failure to reach the World Cup in Qatar.
Czech soccer federation head Petr Fousek said Monday that Šilhavý will remain in charge through 2023 for European Championship qualifying, and his contract will be automatically extended if the Czech Republic qualifies for the 2024 tournament in Germany.
The 60-year-old Šilhavý was hired in 2018 and led the Czech Republic to the quarterfinals of the 2020 European Championship, which was postponed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Czechs also advanced to the top League A in the Nations League but the team failed to advance to one of the playoff finals in European qualifying for the World Cup in March after a 1-0 loss to Sweden in extra time.
“We were pretty disappointed after the playoff in Sweden,” Šilhavý said. “(But) you don’t refuse such a post.”
A former player, Šilhavý was an assistant to Czech Republic coach Karel Bruckner from 2002-08, helping the team reach the semifinals of the 2004 European Championship. He also led Liberec and Slavia Prague to titles in the Czech league.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was banned from Twitter for a second time after attempting to use a new account to access the social media platform.
Lindell set up a new account Sunday on Twitter under @MikeJLindell. The account was quickly suspended.
Twitter said Monday that Lindell's new account was permanently suspended for violating its rules on ban evasion.
Lindell's original Twitter account was permanently banned in January 2021 after Lindell continued to perpetuate the baseless claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. At the time Twitter said that it decided to ban Lindell due to “repeated violations” of its civic integrity policy.
Lindell, a Trump supporter, has continued to insist that the presidential election was rigged even after U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration had begun.
Trump has also had his account permanently suspended by Twitter. The former president posted on Truth Social, his own platform, on Thursday. He had not made any appearance on the platform, save for one quick post before the platform was opened to the public in late February. He has said that he has no intention of rejoining Twitter even if his account is reinstated following Elon Musk’s agreement to buy the social media giant for roughly $44 billion.
While it remains to be seen if Musk will reinstate accounts that are banned on Twitter, the Tesla CEO calls himself a free speech absolutist who believes in allowing any content that doesn’t run afoul of the law. | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/MyPillow-CEO-Lindell-gets-banned-from-Twitter-17141319.php | 2022-05-02T14:30:50Z | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/MyPillow-CEO-Lindell-gets-banned-from-Twitter-17141319.php | true |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gov. Bill Lee paused executions in Tennessee for the rest of the year on Monday to enable a review of its lethal injection procedures after a testing oversight forced the state to call off the execution of Oscar Smith an hour before he was to die.
A federal public defender praised the Republican governor for his “great leadership” for launching the review.
Former U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton will review circumstances that led to the chemicals being tested only for potency and sterility but not for endotoxins in Smith's case. He'll also review the clarity of the lethal injection process manual and Tennessee Department of Correction staffing considerations, Lee said in a statement.
“I review each death penalty case and believe it is an appropriate punishment for heinous crimes,” Lee said. “However, the death penalty is an extremely serious matter, and I expect the Tennessee Department of Correction to leave no question that procedures are correctly followed.”
The pause will remain in effect through the end of the year to allow time for the review and corrective action, Lee said.
Lee has not explained exactly why the execution was delayed. He issued a brief statement on April 21 at 5:42 p.m. saying that “due to an oversight in preparation for lethal injection, the scheduled execution of Oscar Smith will not move forward tonight. I am granting a temporary reprieve while we address Tennessee Department of Correction protocol.”
The move comes after Smith’s attorneys asked last week for a moratorium on executions and a review of the state’s execution protocols.
“Governor Lee’s decision to pause executions pending an independent review of Tennessee’s lethal injection protocol shows great leadership. The use of compounded drugs in the context of lethal injection is fraught with risk. The failure to test for endotoxins is a violation of the protocol. Governor Lee did the right thing by stopping executions because of this breach,” Federal Public Defender Kelley Henry said.
Henry said last week that the night before the execution, she requested the results of tests for “potency, sterility and endotoxins” that are supposed to be carried out on the execution drugs if they are obtained from a compounding pharmacy. She had received no response. Henry suspects at least two of the three execution drugs were compounded, rather than commercially manufactured, she said, although secrecy rules surrounding Tennessee executions makes it difficult to know for certain.
While lethal injection was adopted as a humane alternative to the electric chair, it has been the subject of consistent problems and lawsuits.
Tennessee uses a three-drug series to put inmates to death: midazolam, a sedative to render the inmate unconscious; vecuronium bromide, to paralyze the inmate; and potassium chloride, to stop the heart. Officials have said the inmates are unconscious and unable to feel pain. Expert witnesses for inmates, however, have said the inmates would feel like they are drowning, suffocating and being burned alive, all while unable to move or call out.
Of the seven inmates Tennessee has put to death since 2018 — when Tennessee ended an execution pause stretching back to 2009 — five have chosen to die in the electric chair. Smith declined to make a choice, meaning he was scheduled to be executed by the state’s preferred method of lethal injection.
Smith was sentenced to death for fatally stabbing and shooting his estranged wife, Judith Smith, and her teenage sons, Jason and Chad Burnett, at their Nashville home on Oct. 1, 1989. At 72, Smith is the oldest inmate on Tennessee’s death row. His reprieve expires on June 1, after which the state Supreme Court will set a new execution date.

A woman tried running for safety on a New York City street Sunday, only to be punched to the ground by her attacker -- a man police are still trying to track down.
Video released by police shows the daylight attack in Chelsea when the 68-year-old Asian woman fled from the man chasing her through the intersection of 9th Avenue and West 19th Street.
Police said the unidentified suspect threw a punch to her torso that knocked the woman down. She suffered bruised ribs and back pain.
The department released video of the assault and additional surveillance images of the man in hopes of tracking down his whereabouts.
A motive behind the attack and what events pre-dated the 9 a.m. assault were not immediately known. The investigation is ongoing.

Police recover stolen, rare guitars belonging to band
PORTLAND, Ore. - Police in Portland, Oregon, said they have recovered stolen, rare guitars worth thousands of dollars.
Officers said they were abating a camp last Thursday near Interstate 405 when they recovered five out of six guitars reported stolen from The Brian Jonestown Massacre band on April 18.
"These guitars are reportedly from the 1960’s and have enormous sentimental value and are not easily replaceable, according to members of the band," police said in a news release.
"I want to thank you for your service and the excellent detective work in locating most of our guitars. I also want to thank every single person that reached out or spread the word about the robbery - thank you all," band member Anton Newcombe tweeted.

According to KATU, the band was in town to perform at the Roseland Theater on April 19 when the theft occurred.
Officers also found a stolen Subaru, suspected Fentanyl pills and drug paraphernalia, damaged car parts, including a catalytic converter, and other brand-new property suspected of being associated with thefts or burglaries. They also spotted a large litter of 3-week-old puppies with the owner. Authorities said the puppies were being well-cared for, and the owner had a plan to take them to another location.

A blaze tore through a tenement block on Albert Drive in November 2019, destroying homes and businesses. A second fire, in April 2020, broke out in a tenement block on Kenmure Street. There was also a fatal fire on McCulloch Street in June last year. Residents have pushed for long-term regeneration plans for the fire-hit area, led by the community but supported by the council.
Pollokshields, one of the city’s most diverse wards, also takes in Crossmyloof, Strathbungo and part of Shawlands as well as Bellahouston, Craigton and Dumbreck. Last year, the community rallied together to protest against a Home Office dawn raid on Kenmure Street. One activist lay under a van while crowds gathered to demand the release of two Indian Sikh men, who after around eight hours were let go. The response demonstrated how many locals feel about the UK Government’s immigration policies.
As with every ward in the city, the delivery of key council services, including rubbish collection and dealing with potholes, will also be on the minds of voters when they make their decision next Thursday.

Spirit still prefers bid from Frontier Airlines over JetBlue
By MICHELLE CHAPMAN
AP Business Writer
Spirit Airlines’ board still supports Frontier Airlines’ $2.9 billion takeover bid for the airline, saying it determined JetBlue’s competing $3.6 billion offer isn’t a superior proposal. Last month Spirit said that after speaking with financial and legal advisers, its directors believed JetBlue’s offer could “reasonably” turn out to be the better of the two deals. But on Monday the company announced that it was determined that JetBlue’s offer “is not reasonably capable of being consummated.” | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/05/02/spirit-still-prefers-bid-from-frontier-airlines-over-jetblue/ | 2022-05-02T14:46:51Z | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/05/02/spirit-still-prefers-bid-from-frontier-airlines-over-jetblue/ | true |
China is obsessed with disinfection against Covid. But is it causing more harm than good?
By Simone McCarthy
Hazmat suit-clad workers spraying clouds of disinfectant over city streets, building fronts, park benches and even parcels have become a common sight in pandemic-era China.
In Shanghai, the epicenter of the country’s largest outbreak, state media report that thousands of workers have been organized into teams to disinfect areas, with a focus on those known to have hosted Covid patients — a move the government sees as key to curbing the spread of the Omicron variant.
But the practice often extends much further. Seemingly any outdoor area is at risk of being targeted by workers wielding leaf-blower-style disinfectant machines, as China’s rigorous “zero-Covid” policy drives an obsession with sanitizing everything.
In Shanghai, fire fighters have been plucked from their duties to take up roles as disinfectors, a local youth league has recruited volunteers for disinfection squads, and emergency rescue teams from far-flung parts of China have been enlisted in the drive — often strapping on heavy equipment and full hazmat.
In some Shanghai neighborhoods, special chemical producing stations have been set up, while in others vehicles have been outfitted with chemical tanks and cannon-like devices to shoot disinfectant onto the streets, according to local media. Disinfection robots have been stationed at railway stations, and have been set up to patrol some quarantine centers.
But these efforts — and others, like the insistence that workers wear hazmat suits and the blaring, recorded messages playing on loop reminding people of how to prevent the disease — may be a waste of time, effort and resources.
Experts say transmission of the virus via contaminated surfaces is exceptionally low — and that sanitizing outdoor areas such as parks and city streets is largely pointless and worse still, could even pose a danger to public health.
“The robots and street-spraying are performative acts designed to bolster public trust in government actions,” said Nicholas Thomas, an associate professor at City University of Hong Kong, who pointed to how Chinese authorities have long cited environmental contamination as part of their rhetoric that the virus may not have originated in China.
“It is a problem when politics dominates and diverges from the science of the pandemic response — more and more effort has to be placed on bolstering the politics through acts that do not necessarily increase the bio-safety of the affected populations to the same degree as the effort it requires to undertake them,” he said.
Imported virus?
Mass disinfection is part of a long-standing campaign in China to combat a Covid-19 transmission risk that much of the world has considered too minimal to warrant measures past hand-washing and maintaining disinfection of certain surfaces, like those in busy public places and where food is handled or Covid-19 patients are treated.
In a science brief last year, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said scientific studies suggest that each contact with a surface contaminated with Covid-19 has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection. Such research has prompted many to view an overt focus on disinfection as “hygiene theater” as opposed to any meaningful disease prevention measure.
Mass disinfection has not been part of disease control measures in Western countries “because public health authorities followed the science,” according to Emanuel Goldman, a professor of microbiology at the Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School.
“(It’s) highly unlikely that any cases result from touching contaminated surfaces. The virus dies quickly outside an infected person … and transfers very inefficiently by fingers,” he said. “Hand washing with soap, or alcohol hand wipes, is all you need to get the incidence down to zero.”
In China, where stringent practices have focused on eliminating any spread of the virus, concerns about contaminated surfaces date back to the early months of the pandemic, especially after Chinese officials said an outbreak at a market in Beijing likely began due to a worker being infected from handling imported, frozen salmon contaminated with virus.
Though the World Health Organization says it’s “highly unlikely” that people can contract Covid-19 via food or food packaging, Chinese authorities have on numerous occasions pointed to cold-chain imports or other contaminated surfaces, like on airplanes or even international mail, as vectors of diseases.
This has lead to a raft of measures largely unique to China like testing the surfaces of imports for traces of virus and mass disinfection of frozen goods from overseas, while some cities have rolled out various orders to disinfect international mail and parcels — even though national health experts said earlier this year there was not sufficient evidence that such non-cold-chain items could carry the virus.
And as Beijing has sought to reframe the narrative around the origin of the coronavirus, first detected in China, officials have pitched a theory that the virus could have been imported on frozen goods in the first place — a hypothesis broadly dismissed by international experts.
While there is some evidence that the virus can remain infectious on frozen packaging, how countries may want to deal with this risk varies, according to Leo Poon, a professor at the University of Hong Kong’s School of Public Health.
“For countries which use elimination strategy, this is a significant risk. However, for most the countries now, this might not be significant at all,” he said.
But when it comes to touching regular surfaces, this is “not a major transmission mode for Covid-19,” he said, adding some disinfection in indoor settings could be a good idea.
Potential risk
In places like Shanghai, where resources are already stretched thin as the city struggles through a weeks-long lockdown, deploying volunteers and workers for disinfection purposes may put the focus on the wrong risk.
“There really is no role for mass disinfection of outdoor areas, pavements and walls. They are unlikely to be contaminated or cause transmission via a mucosal surface (like eyes, nose or mouth),” said Dale Fisher, a professor at the National University of Singapore’s Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
There can also be downsides to such work, according to Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School’s Goldman, who says that people can be harmed by exposure to harsh disinfection.
While the WHO supports disinfection such as wiping down areas like door handles in busy public places, WHO guidelines say “spraying disinfectants, even outdoors, can be noxious for people’s health and cause eye, respiratory or skin irritation or damage.”
Earlier in the pandemic, a group of Chinese scientists warned in a letter to the journal Science that the over-use of chlorine disinfectants runs the risk of polluting water and even putting ecosystems in nearby lakes and rivers at risk.
There are signs of similar concerns from Shanghai authorities, even as they press on with disinfection measures.
Late last month, officials put out recommendations for residents on how to disinfect, urging them against “spraying disinfectants directly on people,” using “canon trucks” and drones, or disinfecting outdoor air.
“These practices are essentially ineffective, and can cause health hazards and environmental pollution,” a Shanghai official said.

5 things to know for May 2: Ukraine, Covid, Immigration, Inmate Search, Ford recall
By Alexandra Meeks, CNN
After two years of social distancing, parents are eager to get their kids outdoors and off their mobile devices. As a result, interest in summer camps is booming, with about 26 million children nationwide expected to join camps in the coming weeks. But amid surging demand, some experts say the cost of camps will jump 10% to 15% this summer over 2021.

1. Ukraine
The long-awaited evacuation of civilians from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, Ukraine, is underway. Hundreds of people — dozens of whom are injured — are thought to be inside the complex, the last Ukrainian holdout in the city following weeks of heavy Russian bombardment. Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk called the situation a “humanitarian catastrophe,” as people are running out of water, food and medicine. Nearly every building in the plant has been destroyed, new satellite images show. Separately, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made an unannounced trip to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv over the weekend, becoming the most senior US official to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky since the war broke out more than two months ago. Pelosi also met with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Poland today to discuss further support for Ukraine.
2. Coronavirus
The US should prepare for a predictable summer surge of Covid-19 cases across Southern states, former White House Coronavirus Response Task Force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx told CBS yesterday. Birx’s warning comes as US cases are again rising with the spread of another Omicron strain, the BA.2 subvariant. The seven-day average of US cases was almost 54,000 on Saturday, up from about 49,000 a week earlier — and around 31,000 a month ago. Latest data from the CDC also shows nearly 60% of adults and 75% of children have antibodies indicating that they’ve been infected with Covid-19, but it is unclear what that means for protection against future infections.
3. Immigration
“Do not come.” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued that stern warning to migrants yesterday, urging them not to attempt to enter the US through its southern border. Border officials have been preparing for multiple scenarios when a Trump-era pandemic restriction, known as Title 42, lifts on the US-Mexico border. The authority, invoked at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, allows officials to turn away migrants at the border because of the public health crisis. Mayorkas emphasized yesterday that if a record-breaking 18,000 migrants are encountered at border daily — as anticipated by the department — it would put a “strain on the system.”
4. Inmate search
Authorities in Alabama are searching for a corrections officer and an inmate charged with murder after they went missing on Friday. The pair vanished after Vicky White, assistant director of corrections for the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office, said she was taking inmate Casey White for a mental health evaluation at the county courthouse. But the officer and inmate, who officials say are not related, never arrived at the courthouse and authorities later discovered there was no evaluation or hearing scheduled for Casey White that day. On Friday afternoon, concerned officers at the jail tried to call Vicky White but her phone went straight to voicemail. Authorities were considering multiple scenarios over the weekend, including whether Vicky White was overpowered and kidnapped by the 6-foot-9 inmate or whether she assisted him in escaping, through either coercion or her own willingness.
5. Ford recall
Up to a quarter million Ford Explorers have been recalled due to a rollaway risk. According to new documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a bolt in the rear axle mounting could fracture and cause the driveshaft to disconnect, increasing the risk of the vehicle accidentally rolling away while parked. Affected vehicles include various 2020-2022 Explorer models, including the Explorer Hybrid and Explorer Plug-In Hybrid. Some 2020-2021 Explorer Police Interceptor SUV and hybrid models are also affected by the recall. Dealers will replace any necessary parts or update the electronic parking brake software free of charge, the NHTSA said.

That’s how many Senate seats will most likely flip in 2022, according to a new CNN ranking. The changes — all in Republicans’ favor — are creating a tough challenge for Democrats who are vying to holding their razor-thin Senate majority. Republicans only need a net gain of one seat this fall to win the Senate.

Ferrari racing car is left wrecked after it flips a parked Range Rover after 'high-speed crash' on a residential street
- Ferrari that can reach speeds of up to 200mph crashes into parked 2.5 tonne 4x4 on quiet, residential street in Ipswich, Suffolk
- Range Rover flipped over by race car, causing chaos as it 'sounded like the Formula 1' and was so loud it sounded like an 'explosion'
- A man was detained at the scene as residents were woken by the loud noise
- Thirty seconds after the crash the Ferrari engine miraculously 'started up again'
A Ferrari race car was left almost unrecognizable after it was smashed up in a residential street in Suffolk.
The Ferrari speeded wildly towards a parked Range Rover causing it to flip onto its side in the driveway of a nearby home in Ipswich on Saturday morning.
Suffolk police were called to the scene on Lindbergh Road in the east of the town at 7.04am where they detained a person involved.
Gary Smith, 51, a resident on the road, told the Sun he heard the Ferrari rocket down the road 'full whack' before hearing a massive crash.
The Ferrari race car managed to flip over a 2.5 tonne Land Rover, but smashed its bonnet in the process (pictured) Police at the scene of a collision involving a Ferrari on Lindbergh Road in Ipswich, Suffolk, on 30 April 2022
Suffolk police detained someone involved in the crash, in which no one was hurt (pictured) Police at the scene of a collision involving a Ferrari on Lindbergh Road in Ipswich, Suffolk, on 30 April 2022
He said: 'He was going as fast as that car would go, it was flat out.
'I just thought what the hell is going on, it sounded like the Formula 1.'
Gary, who has lived on the street since 1999, said the race car then smashed into a parked Range Rover, flipping it on its side.
He said the crash was so loud it sounded like an 'explosion'.
The engineer said how about thirty seconds after the collision the engine miraculously 'started up again' and the driver tried to move it but with little luck.
Gary said the man who owns the flipped Range Rover was left in 'disbelief' that a race car could send a 2.5 tonne motor into the air.
Ferraris can reach speeds of up to 200mph, making them highly dangerous in the wrong hands.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — A ticket with all six numbers in Saturday evening's SuperLotto Plus drawing was sold at a 7-Eleven store in San Diego and its purchaser has 60 days to choose between receiving the $38 million jackpot in 30 graduated installments or a lump sum cash payment.
The 7-Eleven where the ticket with all six SuperLotto Plus numbers was sold is located at 430 Spruce St., in Hillcrest.
Two tickets each with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, were sold at a convenience store in San Jose and a market in Gardena, the California Lottery announced. They are each worth $21,265.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 3, 15, 21, 35, 46 and the Mega number was 18. The jackpot was $38 million.
The drawing was the 32nd since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number is 1 in 41,416,353, according to the California Lottery. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/superlotto-plus-ticket-sold-san-diego/509-44f65677-6f4e-475a-a021-fe85bf87adbb | 2022-05-02T14:51:20Z | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/superlotto-plus-ticket-sold-san-diego/509-44f65677-6f4e-475a-a021-fe85bf87adbb | false |
The Kentucky Derby leads off the first Triple Crown season in decades without the chance of Bob Baffert officially winning one or more of the three races.
Baffert’s absence while suspended shadows over the race, particularly because two horses he trained for a significant period of time are among the top contenders. Former assistant Tim Yakteen would get the credit if Taiba or Messier wins after taking over training duties.
“It’s a talking point, but it’s not a distraction other than that,” retired jockey Jerry Bailey said. “To me, the only thing that’s going to be different is the record books.”
Taiba could become the first horse since 1883 to win the Derby with two or fewer previous starts. Baffert-trained Justify won it on the way to sweeping the Triple Crown in 2018 after racing just three times before the first Saturday in May.
“Times have changed in that regard,” NBC Sports analyst Randy Moss said. “Horses run much less often now leading into the Kentucky Derby in general, so it was just a matter of time.”
This is Bailey’s 34th Derby and Moss’ 41st, with many of them on the NBC Sports set and around the Churchill Downs barns and track together for more than a decade. They tend to agree more often than not, with the notable exception of 2014 when they disagreed about the ride jockey Victor Espinoza gave California Chrome in losing the Belmont with the chance to end the sport’s lengthy Triple Crown drought.
Asked if there was a potential Triple Crown winner in this crop of 3-year-olds, Moss said it was impossible to say and pointed to plenty of near-misses over the years. Bailey thinks lightly raced Taiba could be the one.
“If he were able to do this and win the Kentucky Derby, he still only has three starts this year,” said Bailey, who won the Derby twice. “With others maybe having peaked or close to being peaked to try and get to the Kentucky Derby and win it, he might be one that is just on the ascension.”
Among the 10 horses who entered the Derby with as little racing experience as Taiba over the past century-plus, none have come close to winning this race.
“The average margin of defeat’s been 25 lengths,” Moss said. “But the difference is none of those horses were given any chance at all to win. And this horse is completely different. This horse is in with an outstanding chance to win.”
Taiba faces a different challenge in a crowded, 20-horse field than his first two races with much more room to maneuver. Bailey said the challenge is for Mike Smith to try to replicate the trips Taiba got his first two times out of the starting gate to keep the colt comfortable.
“He hasn’t run against large fields, and he’s had very, very clean trips, no traffic,” Bailey said. “For Mike Smith, his biggest job is to get him out of the starting gate, which the horse does have some early speed and put him in a position where there’s not that many new things happening to him early in the race.”
A victory by Taiba would make Smith, 56, the oldest jockey to win the Derby. In his way are a record five jockeys from France and a few trainers not named Baffert looking to capture the first jewel of the Triple Crown for the first time.
Steve Asmussen, who has the most wins of any trainer in North America, has the expected favorite in Epicenter. Chad Brown’s Zandon is another serious challenger who is training well and could give the champion trainer his first Derby victory.
Crown Pride would be the first Japan-based horse to win any Triple Crown race. He won the UAE Derby in March in Dubai.
The post position draw is Monday in Louisville.

When Britain ruled the skies: BOAC Comet flew from London to Johannesburg on this day in 1952 to become world's first ever jet airliner before crashes ruined its reputation and handed the crown to Boeing
- The De Havilland DH106 Comet G-ALYP took off from Heathrow at just after 3pm with 36 passengers
- Took just over 23 hours for plane to travel nearly 7,000 miles to its destination, with five stops along the way
- Barely a year after it went into service, disaster struck the Comet when one crashed on take-off in Karachi
- In the year that followed, there were two further crashes, with investigations revealing a severe design flaw
- All Comets were grounded and by the time they re-entered service in 1958, reputation had been hammered
- The world's airlines instead largely opted to fly with the American Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8
When the world's first ever jetliner took off from London on this day in 1952, crowds cheered as 36 passengers began their pioneering journey to Johannesburg in South Africa.
It was the flight that promised to beckon a new era, one which made the world a much smaller place for those who could afford to fly by air.
The De Havilland DH106 Comet G-ALYP took off from Heathrow, which was then known simply as London Airport, at just after 3pm.
It took just over 23 hours for the plane to travel nearly 7,000 miles to its destination, with five stops along the way.
At the time, the propeller-powered Hermes services were taking nearly 28 hours to get to the same destination, despite flying a route that was 1,000 miles shorter than the Comet's.
Britain was lauded for showing that British planes that had been built by British workers according to domestic designs could still lead the world.
The price of a single fare on the flight was £175, whilst a return cost £315. When accounting for inflation, those figures amount to more than £5,300 for the former and nearly £10,000 for the later.
The flight was so successful that it attracted the ire of a US senator, who said that his country had 'temporarily lost superiority in jet commercial transportation to Britain', even while America was providing financial and military aid to Europe after the devastation caused by the Second World War.
But, barely a year after it went into service, disaster struck the Comet when, in March 1953, one crashed on take-off in Karachi, killing all 11 people on board.
In the year that followed, there were two further crashes, with investigations revealing a severe design flaw - metal fatigue caused in part by the plane's square windows.
All Comets were grounded and by the time they could re-enter service in 1958, the plane's reputation had been severely damaged.
The world's airlines instead largely opted to fly with the American Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8.

The first DH106 prototype flew for the first time in July 1949, less than a year after Second World War veteran John Derry had flown another of De Havilland's experimental aircraft - the bat-shaped DH108 'Swallow' - faster than the speed of sound.
The development came on the back of jet aircraft that had been developed during the Second World War. The first, the German He 178, took to the skies in August 1939.
Flown by chief test pilot John Cunningham, the DH106's test flight took place on Sir Geoffrey de Havilland's 67th birthday.
The aviation pioneer had built his firm from nothing into one that was at the forefront of aircraft design and production.
Designed by R.E. 'Ron' Bishop, who was also the brains behind the Second World War Mosquito fighter, the DH106 survived its test flight and a second prototype then flew the following year.
After more than 500 hours of testing in the air, the DH106 was put into production, with the G-ALYP making its first flight on January 9, 1951.
The service to Johannesburg had five stops along the way: in Rome, Beirut in Lebanon, Khartoum in Sudan, Entebbe in Uganda and Livingstone in Zambia
After the success of the Johannesburg flight, Her Majesty The Queen (left) - who had only been on the throne for a little over a year following the death of her father King George VI - flew on a special flight with the Queen Mother and her sister Princess Margaret (right) in June 1953

Powered by four de Havilland Ghost jet engines, the Comet could reach speeds of 503 miles per hour, meaning that average journey times were halved.
The height at which it flew - 40,000 feet - had previously only been the preserve of military jet fighters.
The service to Johannesburg had five stops along the way: in Rome, Beirut in Lebanon, Khartoum in Sudan, Entebbe in Uganda and Livingstone in Zambia.
Because of the length of the flight, the crew were replaced at both Beirut and then Khartoum.
Each passenger on the flight received a certificated signed by the pilot on the first leg of the flight, Captain AM Majendie.
At 93 feet in length, the DH106 was almost 15 feet shorter than its main competitor, the Douglas DC6B.
One of the main draws of the plane was the fact that it was much quieter than its propeller-powered predecessors.
A BOAC advert from May 1952 noted how the Comet was 'quiet and free from vibration'.

The Comet 4 is seen in flight in October 1958, the year that the Comets were brought back into service after the disastrous crashes in 1953 and 1954
In their first year in service, the DH106 planes carried more than 30,000 passengers, with at least eight departing London each week. Services to Tokyo, Singapore and Colombo were also quickly established.
However, the DH106's early sunny success was not a sign of things to come. In March 1953, a Comet crashed on take-off in Karachi, killing all 11 on board.
Two months later, another crashed after take-off from Calcutta, killing all 43 people.
The following January, the same plane that made history with its flight to Johannesburg dived into the Mediterranean off the coast of Elba, killing 35 people.
And then in April of the same year, a plane crashed into the sea near Naples.
Investigations revealed that the constant stress of repressurisation at high altitude was weakening an area of fuselage around the Comet's square-shaped windows.
The exterior became so stressed that high-pressure cabin air would end up bursting through the slightest crack, therefore ripping a hole in the fuselage.
All Comet planes were grounded and its production line halted. De Havilland then set about relaunching the DH106.
After de Havilland's reputation was tarnished by the Comet crashes, the world's airlines largely opted to fly the Boeing 707 (pictured) and the Douglas DC-8
In this aerial image, Japan Airlines' new aircraft Douglas DC-8 Super 61 is seen at Haneda Airport on September 30, 1969 in Tokyo, Japan
A total of 16 Comet 2 planes were built but ended up not being used commercially and instead went into service with the RAF.
The Comet 4 iteration then entered commercial service in April 1958, more than six years after the first DH106 crash.
In the years since the DH106 had first taken to the air, de Havilland's American rival Boeing had been busy developing the Boeing 707.
The US's major airlines all opted for the Boeing jet rather than its British rival, with the American firm producing 865 707s, compared to de Havilland building 114 Comets across all four marks.
Both the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8 - which was also bought by airlines - could seat almost twice as many passengers as the Comet. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10774823/Worlds-jet-airliner-Comet-DH106-flew-London-Johannesburg-day-1952.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-02T15:06:19Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10774823/Worlds-jet-airliner-Comet-DH106-flew-London-Johannesburg-day-1952.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
RRQ CONTINUES their Wild Rift Championship SEA Finals journey after sweeping fellow Pinoy squad Fennel Adversity, 3-0, on Sunday.
The win also gave the King of Kings a spot in Wild Rift’s inaugural world championship, Icons 2022, which will be held in Madrid, Spain this coming June.
It was a dominant win from the WCS Philippines champions, who started the series with a perfect Game 1. Despite a low score of only nine kills, RRQ didn’t lose a single champion, with midlaner Helios brought out his Vayne pick to counter Fennel’s Garen pick.
Game 2 nearly became a repeat result as RRQ take a 15-2 kill score to end the game. It was Jungler Chazz who led the RRQ offense, earning a 6/0/7 KDA on his Jungle Jayce. Meanwhile, midlaner Helios added another 5 kills and two assists on his mid Fizz. Helios also managed to land crucial ultis to Fennel’s backline to constantly push back.
Game 3 was a change of pace for both squas with a faster match and more skirmishes in the early game instead of the cautious approach. Fennel tried finding their own opportunities as they catch out a few RRQ champions. Unfortunately, RRQ’s counter engages were even better as they constantly take down Fennel’s champions.
It was the mid-jungle synergy of RRQ that shined in Game 3 as Chazz and Helios cleaned up Fennel’s champion. Helios had himself an 11/0/8 performance on his Jayce, while Chazz was named player of the game on his Irelia with a 6/1/13 KDA.
RRQ totally outclasses Fennel Adversity
“My team right now is good, we’re good,” said Helios during the post-game panel interview.
The energy was high in RRQ’s boot camp after they secured their spot for the world championships. Helios even flashed a picture of an airplane live on stream to signify their booked ticket to Spain.
“Yes, we’re so happy that we won this match, we’re grateful for our performance so that we can qualify for this Icon series,” Helios said, giggling.
Now in the final four of the WCS Final, RRQ will face the winner of the Buriram United vs Cerberus Esports match on May 6.
As for Fennel Adversity, it’s the end of their WCS Final journey as they finish in 5th-6th place. They will also go home with $17,000 or more than P890,000.

Technical analysis has become a go-to strategy for many traders to build strategies and gauge market strategy. It is a broad subject, but at its core technical analysis relies on the use of charting tools and indicators to gauge market momentum and trends. This information can then be used to identify buy and sell signals, as well as getting an early sense of when market sentiment is starting to shift.
However, technical analysis is not without is criticisms, especially when it comes to crypto. Indicators can be wrong, or send off conflicting signals. Additionally, crypto’s relatively short lifespan, especially beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, provide little historical data to test strategies and assumptions. Additionally, concerns surrounding wash trading and market manipulation, although know unique to crypto, can be problematic.
One of the industry leaders in providing crypto-specific technical analysis is Katie Stockton, founder and managing partner of Fairlead Strategies, LLC, an independent research firm and investment advisor. I spoke with her to learn how she approaches these challenges and what she has learned in her coverage of crypto.
SPECIAL OFFER: For expert insights into the latest crypto and blockchain developments, crypto and equity model portfolios, and exclusive interviews subscribe today to our premium research service, Forbes CryptoAsset and Blockchain Advisor.
Forbes: What does technical analysis actually mean?
Stockton: I hate to say it but I wish it wasn't called technical analysis because I think it's mistaken for things that are technical as it pertains to technology. Charting is more accurate as a description of what we do. We see technical analysis as one discipline of several that can be used to understand markets, and its goal is primarily to understand price trends and where there may be inflection points as well as potential areas of buying and selling pressure.
And we're doing that through an understanding of supply and demand. The way you understand supply and demand is by simply analyzing price. The only other data point that the market lends itself to in technicals is volume, but our focus is on price. We use a number of technical indicators to take out some of the gray area of the markets, and because they give you a binary buy or sell signal. We welcome that since the takeaway is usually black and white.
Forbes: What are some of those indicators?
Stockton: I’ll give you sort of the big picture and how I think about technical indicators. I classify them in three ways: trend following, overbought/oversold conditions and relative strength. We have probably two or three for each category. I always tell people, you don't want to have too many indicators that are trying to get the same answer, because then you’ll find some confirmation bias and or duplication in what you’re doing. And remember, this is all based on price. So you also don’t want to get too many derivatives away from price. One of the indicators I use for trend following is the MACD, which stands for moving average convergence divergence.
Here is what it means: We want to buy things that are going up and to the right. Very simply, we want to buy things that are going to go higher, and a trend has this inherent momentum to it. Suffice it to say that when something has momentum, you should make the assumption that it will continue to do so. And that’s the momentum inherent to trends. So, you really genuinely want to buy things that are working their way higher, and you want to sell things that are in downtrend or working their way lower. That is trend following. We have indicators to understand if those trends are still strong. And the indicators tend to be based on moving averages of price, including the MACD moving average convergence, divergence and the moving averages are basically look backs using historical prices. What we’ve found is that some of the indicators that are derived from them can really help isolate important shifts and trends. And not only do we want to buy securities that are going up, we want to know when to sell them. The indicators can help us know when those trends are shifting.
Here is an example using bitcoin (BTC) on the monthly chart. Bitcoin has suffered a loss of long-term upside momentum according to the monthly MACD indicator, which crossed over in a “sell” signal in January. The indicator has an inherent lag to it, but it is designed to identify major shifts in trend. The last “buy” signal occurred in July 2020 and was followed by a strong up move.
Forbes: What are some of the other buckets?
Stockton: For the overbought/oversold piece of it, we tend to gravitate towards the stochastic oscillator. Here the goal is to look at where security is closing relative to a high/low range to see where it has been over that period of time. If it continually closes near the high end of that range, it supposedly gets more overbought—talk about an overused word; same with the word oversold. I would say overbought and oversold are almost misnomers and that, overbought isn't necessarily a bad thing. When something is overbought, it is a reflection of momentum. And there's a reading based on the stochastic oscillator that is an actual overbought reading. And it's an oscillator between zero and 100%. Above 80% is overbought, and we don't mind that. In fact, we sort of like to see something overbought above 80%. What we don’t like to see in terms of following a trend or an uptrend is that reversal back down. So it’s when that overbought reading gives way to a downtick or a downturn, that’s when we feel we have some kind of sell signal.
We rely on this stochastic oscillator to help us understand when an overbought reading is finally taking its toll on price (and vice versa) and to help us identify good entry points in stocks or securities that had been trending lower. Of course, we have a lot of people watching, as an example, bitcoin or high growth stocks, for some kind of turnaround. In those cases, they want to know if this downtrend that we've seen is at the point where it’s oversold enough that it’s going to turn the corner. We can use this stochastic oscillator to get us to that answer in a way that is not our opinion, it’s just a reflection of what this mathematical gauge is telling us.
Here is an example of the stochastic oscillator using ether (ETH). Ether has made a lower high associated with a downturn in the weekly stochastic oscillator from overbought territory above 80%. This tends to be a setback with a duration of several weeks as it pertains to the weekly bar chart. Ether was oversold as recently as March, when risk assets bottomed, but the rally was fleeting. We see upturns and downturns in the stochastics as catalysts.
Forbes: What happens if you get mixed signals?
Stockton: There’s a degree of subjectivity depending on the state of the market, such as whether it’s a trending market or a sideways market. In a trending market, you should give more weight to momentum gauges, trend following gauges and moving average based gauges. A range bound environment, which is where an oscillating measure like the market breadth measure or the stochastic oscillator, will be a little bit more valuable.
Forbes: The crypto market can be fragmented. How do you make sure that you are looking at accurate prices?
Stockton: That's a good question. I always like to review what most people are looking at, such as a mainstream exchange. And honestly, usually, the first thing that you pull up, if you were to type in a ticker, is usually the primary exchange on which this instrument is traded. We primarily use Coinbase for bitcoin and ether.
Forbes: The transparency of blockchains has led to an explosion of technical indicators that are available to traders. Do you use any or do you just focus on price?
Stockton: We just focus on price. And that’s across the board for all asset classes, not just cryptocurrencies. We’re interested in reading about things like these emerging trends because they also help you make an informed decision. So it’s not to say we don’t agree with using that as an input. It’s just not really what our expertise is. One reason that the equity market is great for us is because there’s so much data around it. You get not just price data, but you also get what we call market internals. Market participation/sentiment can be measured either as an investor poll, like how you feel or it can be like a transactional gauge of how people are positioned like using the volatility index or put call ratios. So we have this abundance of data for these market internals for the equity market, just because of how long it’s been around, in part. We don’t yet have the same level of price history for cryptocurrencies, but we also don't have all these data points that we would consider to be market internals. And it would be really helpful if we did.
Forbes: I’m sure you’ve seen some of the criticisms of technical analysis when it comes to crypto, such as the challenges presented by such a shallow pool of data. How do you adapt to this?
Stockton: The good news about the short history of bitcoin and others is that we’ve actually had some cyclicality already within that context. I call it time compression, the moves that used to take six months now take two months, and then those that take two months run their course in two weeks. I think the more price history, the better. But as long as you’re capturing different types of environments you can still build models around it. And you can still trust your indicators, as long as you have enough signals to analyze. The technical indicators, at least the ones we use, should theoretically carry over to anything that has a price and liquidity. So there’s definitely going to be nuances or maybe a certain timeframe just matters a bit more for one security than the next, but overall, you should see that transference of the methodology be pretty seamless, especially bitcoin and ether, obviously, like deep liquid markets. Others should still carry over pretty equally unless liquidity is so thin that you see a chart that has a lot of gaps on it, not just a gap up in response to news, because that’s kind of normal at times, but gaps throughout a trend as well.
Forbes: I'm sure you're aware of wash trading and other ways that people try to manipulate the markets. How do you try to account for that, especially for assets that might be a little less known and less trustworthy that trade primarily on exchanges that aren't necessarily based in the U.S. or have strong regulatory credentials?
Stockton: That would be concerning if we’re looking at something that we don’t trust. So we would probably avoid that at all costs, if we can. The price is the price. If the volumes are strong enough to move the price, we care about that. And as mentioned, we’re not really looking at volumes as much anyway.
Forbes: It is impossible for someone to be right 100% of the time. But I’m curious if you have any sense of what your success rate is or if you find your predictions in crypto being more or less accurate than in traditional markets.
Stockton: I don’t have a way to measure my accuracy ratio, per se, because I’ve always been a publishing research analyst, money manager until very recently. So now, as you know, as a money manager, we have a way to track records. The company recently launched the Fairlead Tactical Sector ETF (TACK) that tracks technical trends across asset classes. But what you hope is that people will subscribe to your research and follow your calls if you're right, more often than not.
We will be wrong at times, but we’d like to think that we don’t stay wrong for very long because the indicators don’t let us. The indicators will keep you honest. We don’t try to be ultra predictive, but rather just keep people on the right side of trends, give them some risk metrics to watch and some objectives, perhaps based on the current action, talk about catalysts, etc. So we’re not saying we think bitcoin will be at price X by year end—we don’t add value that way or have that crystal ball. But when people can follow the views in a consistent manner, that’s where the real benefit can be.

Huge explosion rocks arms factory deep inside Russia killing two: Polish tanks start arrive to bolster Ukraine's frontline as Britain says a quarter of Putin's army is now 'combat ineffective'
- Smoke seen billowing into the skies over city of Perm, deep inside Russia today
- Senior Ukrainian official said 'powerful' explosion had struck an arms factory in the city used to produce artillery rockets, killing two people
- It is just the latest fire at Russian military site, thought to be orchestrated by Kyiv
- Came as Polish tanks began arriving on the frontlines, while British intelligence said Putin's army has now been reduced by a quarter
An explosion has struck an arms factory deep inside Russia, a senior Ukrainian official said - just the latest in a series of fires and blasts at military sites amid suspicion they are being orchestrated from Kyiv.
Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian foreign ministry, tweeted out footage which he claimed showed the arms factory in Perm - 700 miles to the east of Moscow - burning, claiming a 'powerful' explosion had struck it.
Russia acknowledged a fire took place at the factory around 8pm Sunday but did not say what caused the 'accident'. It comes amid a series of blazes and blasts at military sites which Kyiv is thought to be orchestrating, though it has not confirmed this.
The Perm factory is used to make rockets for Russian artillery systems of the kind being used to bomb Ukrainian cities and troops.
The blast came as Ukraine today released footage showing Polish tanks arriving in the country as they prepare to join the fight in Donbas. Warsaw has donated more than 200 of its Soviet-era T-72 tanks to Ukraine.
At the same time, British intelligence said that more than quarter of Russia's invasion force is now out of action after suffering heavy losses and will take years to recover.
A fire at a Russian arms factory has killed at least two workers, local officials confirmed, as a Ukrainian government adviser shared this footage and claimed there had been an 'explosion'
Ukraine today released footage which it said showed T-72M1 tanks donated by Poland arriving on the frontlines near Donbas, as crews prepared to join the fight
The Ministry of Defence said that Putin assembled around 65 per cent of his total ground forces for the attack on Ukraine, around 25 per cent of which has now been rendered 'combat ineffective'.
'Some of Russia's most elite units, including VDV [paratroopers], have suffered the highest levels of attrition,' the briefing said. 'It will probably take years for Russia to reconstitute these forces.'
Meanwhile Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, denied reports that Putin is aiming for victory in Ukraine by May 9 because coincides with the date of an annual parade commemorating Nazi Germany's surrender.
Lavrov said the victory over Hitler's forces will be marked in a 'solemn manner' and won't affect the timing of events in Ukraine.
'Our soldiers won’t base their actions on a specific date,' he said. 'The timing and speed of what is happening in Ukraine will hinge on the need to minimize risks for civilians and Russian solders.'
Russia is now more than two months into what was supposed to be a days-long 'special military operation' to topple Ukraine's government and install a puppet regime loyal to Moscow.
Having been defeated in their mission to take the capital Kyiv, Putin's generals have merged their battered units together and thrown them back into battle in an effort to take the eastern Donbas region.
Fighting here will likely prove pivotal: If Ukraine can hold on, then Russia will likely lack the manpower to carry out more attacks elsewhere and may even struggle to hold the territory it has taken.
If Russia prevails, then it could push further west in an attempt to seize Mykolaiv and Odesa to establish control over the Black Sea coast, and perhaps return to Kyiv.
In an effort to hamstring Russia's forces, Ukraine has been carrying out an increasing number of attacks behind enemy lines in order to cut supply lines and wear out the invasion effort.
Belgorod, which sits just a few dozen miles from the Ukrainian frontline, has been repeatedly targeted with explosions at ammunition dumps, fuel depots and railway bridges in the last several weeks.
Ukraine has refused to acknowledge carrying out any such attacks, but is widely thought to be behind them - mostly using drones and missiles.
Two loud explosions were heard in Belgorod, a Russian city near the Ukraine border, overnight as videos appeared to show jets letting off flares in the night sky
Russia last month accused Kyiv of using helicopters to blow up a fuel dump in Belgorod, which Ukraine denied.
Since then, two fuel dumps, and ammunition dump, and a railway bridge have been destroyed. A fire broke out at a military facility in the region yesterday, while a blaze also destroyed a base in Tver, near Moscow, two weeks ago.
Overnight Monday, air defence systems were once again active over Belgorod with two explosions heard as lights appeared in the sky.
The bright marks appear to have been a trail of flares left behind by either jets or helicopters flying over the city, in what observers speculated could be another Ukrainian attack.
Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov sought to dispel those rumours, saying the flares were fired by Russia jets and that the blasts had caused no damage.
However, he did not explain what the blasts were, why they had taken place over Russia rather than over Ukraine, or why Russian jet would be letting off flares above one of their own cities where they should be protected by air defences.
Flares are designed to distract heat-seeking rockets, and are generally only used over enemy territory where aircraft are in danger of being hit.
The Russian Defence Ministry said its forces struck dozens of military targets in eastern Ukraine in the past 24 hours, including concentrations of troops and weapons and an ammunition depot near Chervone in the Zaporizhzhia region.
The information could not be independently verified.
Flames were seen rising from Belgorod during the day on Sunday, as a blaze engulfed a Russian defence ministry facility
The Ukrainian president's office said at least three people were killed and another three, including a child, were wounded in the eastern Luhansk region over the last 24 hours.
It said that four people were wounded in the shelling in Donetsk, another eastern region.
The regional administration in the Zaporizhzhia region farther west said that at least two people died and another four were wounded in the Russian shelling of the town of Orikhiv.
A full picture of the battle unfolding in eastern Ukraine is hard to capture.
The fighting makes it dangerous for reporters to move around, and both sides have introduced tight restrictions on reporting from the combat zone.
Western officials say Russia is advancing slowly in its eastern offensive and has captured some villages, but is inflicting heavy civilian casualties through indiscriminate bombing.
Ukrainian forces are fighting their offensive village-by-village while civilians flee air strikes and artillery shelling.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in military assistance has flowed into Ukraine during the war, but Russia's vast armouries mean Ukraine still needs massive support.
America has pledged some $33billion to help arm and support Ukraine, while its allies have stepped up deliveries of heavy weapons including artillery, tanks, armoured vehicles and helicopters.
Meanwhile the West is debating harsher sanctions on Russia to prevent their money being used to fund the war, including cutting off oil, gas and coal exports. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10775185/Ukraine-war-Huge-explosion-rocks-arms-factory-deep-inside-Russia.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-02T15:15:33Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10775185/Ukraine-war-Huge-explosion-rocks-arms-factory-deep-inside-Russia.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell gets banned from Twitter, again
(AP) - MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was banned from Twitter for a second time after attempting to use a new account to access the social media platform.
Lindell set up a new account Sunday on Twitter under @MikeJLindell. The account was quickly suspended.
Twitter said Monday that Lindell’s new account was permanently suspended for violating its rules on ban evasion.
Lindell’s original Twitter account was permanently banned in January 2021 after Lindell continued to perpetuate the baseless claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. At the time Twitter said that it decided to ban Lindell due to “repeated violations” of its civic integrity policy.
Lindell, a Trump supporter, has continued to insist that the presidential election was rigged even after U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration had begun.
Trump has also had his account permanently suspended by Twitter. The former president posted on Truth Social, his own platform, on Thursday. He had not made any appearance on the platform, save for one quick post before the platform was opened to the public in late February. He has said that he has no intention of rejoining Twitter even if his account is reinstated following Elon Musk’s agreement to buy the social media giant for roughly $44 billion.
While it remains to be seen if Musk will reinstate accounts that are banned on Twitter, the Tesla CEO calls himself a free speech absolutist who believes in allowing any content that doesn’t run afoul of the law.

Will Chang brings extensive public- and private-sector experience
WASHINGTON , May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UpStream Healthcare, the fastest growing primary care health services organization, has appointed William S.W. Chang as Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Chang joins UpStream after serving in senior roles at McKesson Corporation and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
At McKesson, Chang was Vice President of Regulatory Policy and Chief Legal Counsel. He led cross-functional teams that focused on enterprise priorities in key regulatory spaces. Chang advised the wide spectrum of McKesson's businesses, including U.S. pharmaceutical distribution, medical-supply distribution, specialty and independent-community pharmacy, physician-practice management, prescription-technology services, medication access-and-adherence programs, and electronic health records.
At HHS, Chang served as Deputy General Counsel for public health, litigation, and investigations. Chang was one of the lead attorneys supporting Operation Warp Speed, working with public and private partners to build nationwide distribution and administration solutions for COVID-19 vaccines. Chang worked closely with the Deputy Secretary, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the HHS Office of the Inspector General, and the U.S. Department of Justice to reform the Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law in order to facilitate value-based care.
"Protecting our most vulnerable patient populations, paying for better health outcomes, and enabling medical professionals to work at the top of their training have guided my career in healthcare," said Chang. "Those goals are all central to UpStream's mission—to coordinate and reward better patient outcomes, from payor to provider and everyone in between."
At the Department of Justice, Chang led healthcare-fraud investigations of public and private companies and individuals, and his cases spanned several districts and involved multiple state and federal agencies as well as parallel civil proceedings.
Chang has been repeatedly recognized for his contributions to healthcare. In 2022, he was the National Winner of the American Pharmacists Association Friend of Pharmacy Immunization Champion Award. The award recognized Chang for his extraordinary contributions toward fully enfranchising the pharmacy workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. For his public-health service, including during the pandemic, Chang received the Assistant Secretary for Health Exceptional Service Medal. The Medal is the highest decoration awarded to a civilian by the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. For his service at the Department of Justice, Chang received numerous accolades. Among those accolades, he twice received the Assistant Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service; the HHS Inspector General's Award for Excellence in Fighting Fraud, Waste, and Abuse; and the Commendation for Demonstrated Excellence from the FBI Director.
"We are fortunate to have Will Chang join our company that is built on the highest levels of professionalism and ethics, as we continue to create outstanding value and outcomes for patients through our partnership with physicians and their clinical networks. Will has incredible knowledge and expertise as a healthcare leader and that will benefit UpStream and the healthcare community at large," said UpStream CEO, Dr. Sanjay Doddamani.
"I have been deeply impressed by Will for his commitment to advancing American healthcare, especially his understanding of value-based care and regulation of clinicians, including pharmacists," said Fergus Hoban, UpStream founder. "At the core of the UpStream process is a thorough therapeutic work-up by prescribing pharmacists and coordination nurses, supported by data insights and full risk payment model; a culmination of strong clinical and financial models for Will to focus his expertise."
UpStream Healthcare's unique model offers support to practices of any size or historic experience who do not have the resources or ability to take the heavy financial risks currently associated with value-based models. Participating providers receive Guaranteed Advanced Payments for Quality or GAP-Q™ as financial incentives on a schedule basis for their quality performance, taking out guess work in an otherwise unpredictable environment.
About UpStream Healthcare

We enable participation in advanced payment models through integrated clinical, financial and technology support and systems, while working to eliminate the burden of chronic disease.

Zero-turn unit designed to help homeowners, professionals maintain big properties
WAUKESHA, Wis., May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mean Green today announced the availability of the new Mean Green NEMESIS electric mower, designed for people who want a professional-grade mower but do not require go-all-day battery power. Ideal for professionals and homeowners alike, the zero-turn NEMESIS can cut up to 5 acres at a time when fully charged.
The launch of the NEMESIS responds to the trend of the entire lawn and landscape market – from professionals working long days to homeowners tending to their property – moving toward increased the use of heavy-duty electric-powered equipment. "The NEMESIS brings commercial power and reliability as well as state-of-the-art, high-performing features such as an interactive touch screen display that allows control of the blade speed, drive speed, and visibility to battery capacity in real-time," said Brandon DeCoff, Vice President Chore Marketing at Generac Power Systems.
The NEMESIS offers a 2.25-hour run-time on its 7.2 kWh battery. It is capable of achieving a top speed of up to 8 mph, handling 15-degree slopes, and offers the power equivalent to a 28 HP gas mower.
Operational savings are built into every Mean Green product. At the professional level, switching from gas to battery-powered mowers turns into big savings on routine maintenance costs. With fewer moving parts to break and the overall expense of replacement componentry such as air filters and spark plugs, the savings between service intervals is noticeable. Fuel costs are also eliminated, along with the dilemma of gasoline storage for larger-sized property owners. While the 7.2 kWh battery in the NEMESIS is substantial, it will charge overnight and be ready for duty the next day.
The NEMESIS also features dual-support, multi-position, anti-scalp wheel mounts to prevent the deck from contacting the ground when passing over high spots. An adjustable rollover protection structure, comfortable high-back suspension seat, dual USB charging ports and cup holders add to the creature comforts – with LED floodlights standard for those mowing later into the evening.
