DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The International Committee of the Red Cross has been unable to visit prisons in Myanmar since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in late 2019, a top official said Monday.
Speaking to The Associated Press, Red Cross director-general Robert Mardini said officials with his organization have, however, remained in contact with Myanmar.
“We are in constant dialogue on this on this question," he said. "Our access to detention places has been unfortunately disrupted since the pandemic started, so we are now working to start again those important visits. And at the same time, we are stepping up significantly our humanitarian activities in the country.”
Myanmar's military seized power in February last year, ousting the civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi, which has likely complicated communication efforts. Resistance to the takeover has now led to what some U.N. experts have characterized as a civil war. Activists say thousands have been arrested. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Red-Cross-say-it-hasn-t-visited-Myanmar-prisons-17000909.php | 2022-03-14T16:58:08 | en | 0.973937 |
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities believe speed was a factor in a North Las Vegas collision that left two motorcyclists dead.
Sgt. Vince Booker, a North Las Vegas police spokesman, said the crash happened Sunday around Cheyenne and Mary Dee avenues just east of U.S. 15.
Three motorcyclists were riding east when two of them crossed into the westbound lanes. One was hit by an SUV. Another struck a sign on the median.
Booker says both died at the scene.
A woman driving the SUV and the third motorcyclist were hospitalized. Their injuries are non-life-threatening.
Police say the motorcyclists were all men in their 40s and 50s.
The investigation remains ongoing.
The collision happened about a mile away from a car wreck that killed nine people in January. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Speed-factor-in-deaths-of-2-North-Las-Vegas-17000753.php | 2022-03-14T16:58:15 | en | 0.98451 |

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — U.S. astronaut Mark Vande Hei has made it through nearly a year in space, but faces what could be his trickiest assignment yet: riding a Russian capsule back to Earth in the midst of deepening tensions between the countries.
NASA insists Vande Hei’s homecoming plans at the end of the month remain unchanged, even as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has resulted in canceled launches, broken contracts and an escalating war of words by the Russian Space Agency’s hardline leader. Many worry Dmitry Rogozin is putting decades of a peaceful off-the-planet partnership at risk, most notably at the International Space Station.
Vande Hei — who on Tuesday breaks the U.S. single spaceflight record of 340 days — is due to leave with two Russians aboard a Soyuz capsule for a touchdown in Kazakhstan on March 30. The astronaut will have logged 355 days in space by then, setting a new U.S. record. The world record of 438 continuous days in space belongs to Russia.
Retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, America’s record-holder until Tuesday, is among those sparring with Rogozin, a longtime ally of Vladimir Putin. Enraged by what's going on in Ukraine, Kelly has returned his Russian medal for space exploration to the Russian Embassy in Washington.
Despite the deadly conflict down here, Kelly believes the two sides “can hold it together” up in space.
“We need an example set that two countries that historically have not been on the most friendly of terms, can still work somewhere peacefully. And that somewhere is the International Space Station. That’s why we need to fight to keep it,” Kelly told The Associated Press.
NASA wants to keep the space station running until 2030, as do the European, Japanese and Canadian space agencies, while the Russians have not committed beyond the original end date of 2024 or so.
The U.S. and Russia are the prime operators of the orbiting outpost, permanently occupied for 21 years. Until SpaceX started launching astronauts in 2020, Americans regularly hitched rides on Russian Soyuz capsules for tens of millions of dollars per seat. The U.S. and Russian space agencies are still working on a long-term barter system in which a Russian would launch on a SpaceX capsule beginning this fall and an American would fly up on the Soyuz. That would help ensure a U.S. and Russian station presence at all times.
Vande Hei, 55, a retired Army colonel, moved into the space station last April, launching on a Soyuz from Kazakhstan with Pyotr Dubrov and another Russian. He and Dubrov stayed twice as long as usual to accommodate a Russian film crew that visited in October.
As the situation 260 miles (420 kilometers) below intensified last month, Vande Hei acknowledged he was avoiding conversations about Ukraine with Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov, their Russian commander. Three more Russians will blast off from Kazakhstan on Friday to replace them.
“We haven’t talked about that too much. I’m not sure we really want to go there,” Vande Hei told a TV interviewer in mid-February.
Space station operations continue as always — in orbit and on Earth, according to NASA.
“It would be a sad day for international operations if we can’t continue to peacefully operate in space,” said NASA’s human spaceflight chief Kathy Lueders, who noted it would be “very difficult” to go it alone.
To mark Tuesday’s milestone, NASA turned to Twitter to gather questions for video-recorded responses, and some asked whether Vande Hei might switch to an American ride home. SpaceX is taking three wealthy businessmen and their ex-astronaut escort to the space station at the end of March for a brief visit. Then in mid-April, SpaceX will deliver four astronauts for NASA before bringing back four who have been on board since November.
NASA and SpaceX officials refuse to speculate on whether a seat could be made available. They say a NASA plane and small team will be on hand in Kazakhstan, as usual, to whisk Vande Hei back home to Houston.
Former NASA astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, whose father was born in Ukraine, concedes it’s a difficult situation.
“We’re sanctioning Russia. Companies are pulling out of doing business in Russia. But then yet you still have the U.S. government — the space agency — doing business with the Russians,” she said. “You can’t push a button and separate the two” sides of the space station.
Besides threatening to pull out of the space station and drop it on the U.S., Europe or elsewhere, Rogozin had the flags of other countries covered on a Soyuz rocket awaiting liftoff with internet satellites earlier this month. The launch was called off, after the customer, London-based OneWeb, refused his demands that the satellites not be used for military purposes and the British government halt its financial backing.
The European Space Agency also is reeling. After missing a 2020 launch deadline for its Mars rover — a joint European-Russian effort — the project was on track for a September liftoff from Kazakhstan. Now it’s most likely off until 2024, the next opportunity for Earth and Mars to be properly aligned. And Russia has pulled its staff out of the French-run launch site in South America, suspending Soyuz launches of European satellites.
All this comes on top of the Russian government's antisatellite missile test in November that added countless pieces of junk to the debris already encircling Earth and put the space station's four Americans, two Russians and one German on alert for days.
Jeffrey Manber, now with the private Voyager Space company, helped forge U.S. and Russian ties back in the mid-1990s, with the first piece of the space station launching in 1998. He sees the outpost as “one of the final holdouts of collaboration” between the two countries. But, he added, “there is no going back if the partnership is ended and the result is a premature ending of the ISS program.”
Regardless of how things play out at the space station, John Logsdon, professor emeritus at George Washington University, expects it will mark the end of large-scale space cooperation between Russia and the West.
“Russia has been moving toward China already, and the current situation will probably accelerate that move,” he said.
While Vande Hei has been silent on Twitter, Kelly and others have gone into overdrive, taking offense at Rogozin's threats.
Elon Musk's private SpaceX took a swipe at Rogozin after he said Russia would stop supplying rocket engines to U.S. companies — Northrop Grumman and United Launch Alliance — adding they could use broomsticks to get to orbit.
At a launch last week, a SpaceX official responded: “Time to let the American broomstick fly and hear the sounds of freedom.”

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The reauthorized Violence Against Women Act includes language to make sure Maine's Native American tribes are protected under it.
Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree, who pushed for the inclusion of the language, said Monday the change brings Maine's tribes under the jurisdictional provisions of the Violence Against Women Act, as it does for other nationally recognized tribes.
Pingree said the previous lack of inclusion of the tribes caused them to “lose out on protections that have been extended to every other federally recognized tribe in the country.”
Penobscot Nation Chief Kirk Francis said Native American women living in Wabanaki territories in Maine previously lacked access to protections and resources afford their peers elsewhere.
The tribes “will now be able to use all the resources available to protect Native women, children and public safety officers located on our lands,” he said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Violence-Against-Women-Act-to-include-Maine-17000969.php | 2022-03-14T16:58:33 | en | 0.958709 |

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton's Ryan Hawkins is leading a charmed life as a basketball player, and he would be the first to tell you.
No school except tiny Wayne State in Nebraska recruited him out of high school, and he planned to go there until a coaching change gave him an out.
He landed at Division II powerhouse Northwest Missouri State, which took a chance on the awkward, skinny 6-foot-7 kid from Iowa and developed him into one of the top players in program history. The Bearcats won three national championships in his five years there.
Now look at him. He's finishing his sixth year as a collegian as the undisputed leader of a new-look Creighton team that overachieved after being picked eighth in the 11-team Big East. The Bluejays (22-11) finished fourth, reached the championship game of the conference tournament and earned the No. 9 seed in the NCAA Midwest Region. They will play eighth-seeded San Diego State (23-8) in Fort Worth, Texas, on Thursday.
“I’ve exceeded my wildest dreams,” the 24-year-old Hawkins said.
Of nine Division II players who transferred to schools in the six major basketball conferences for 2021-22, none has made close to the impact Hawkins has at Creighton.
He leads the Bluejays in scoring (13.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.8 rpg) and was voted to the All-Big East second team after recording a conference-best 11 double-doubles.
Among active NCAA players, Hawkins is second with 2,556 career points and first with 1,206 rebounds. In games he's played for the Bearcats and Bluejays, his teams are 146-18.
“You’re talking about one of the greatest winners in all of college basketball,” Northwest Missouri coach Ben McCollum said.
Hawkins' experience along with his upbeat demeanor made him a perfect fit for Creighton coach Greg McDermott's team, which has had four freshmen play major minutes and has had three start.
“I was just hoping to be able to bring a leadership piece to a team that essentially had a black hole in the leadership category because their whole starting five was gone,” Hawkins said. “I thought I could insert my experience and my ability to stretch the floor into coach McDermott’s offense."
Hawkins grew up about an hour east of Omaha, in Atlantic, Iowa, and played six sports in high school. He dabbled as a quarterback in football and was naturally gifted in track and cross country. He was a star midfielder in soccer and a hard-throwing pitcher in baseball.
He was best at basketball, winning all-state first-team honors in his school's division after averaging 22 points and 13 rebounds per game as a senior. At Northwest Missouri, McCollum said Hawkins was a project, which is why he sat out his first season as a redshirt.
“I remember the first time I watched him play against our guys, and I called my assistant at the time, Austin Meyer, and I said, ‘Coach, I think we might have made a mistake on this one,'” McCollum said. “I compare it to a baby deer on ice. All over the map but super excited, super ready to go.”
Hawkins' improvement was rapid. He shot 46% on 3-pointers over his last two seasons with the Bearcats and was Most Outstanding Player at the 2021 Division II Elite Eight. He had 31 points and 18 rebounds in the national title game against West Texas A&M and left Northwest Missouri as the program's second 2,000-point scorer.
Had it not been for the NCAA allowing players a sixth year of eligibility because of the pandemic, Hawkins said, he would have been looking for a 9-to-5 job after last season. With an extra year to play, he sought a new experience.
About 40 Division I schools called the first day his name was in the transfer portal. He wanted to stay close to home, so when McDermott contacted him, he knew Creighton probably would be where he landed.
McDermott said he never doubted Hawkins' shooting ability would carry over to Division I. What impressed him most was how Hawkins let his leadership take root organically rather than forcing it.
“Ryan took the time to really get to know these guys when they first met in June, even though he’s five or six years older,” McDermott said. “They were like in sixth grade when he was a senior in high school. And because of that, they really respect what he says and they respect his daily actions. And it’s not just talk. He backs it all up with the way he is, with his positive attitude.”
Hawkins is among the few players who have thrived after transferring from a lower division. Duncan Robinson went from Division III Williams College to Michigan and on to the NBA. Max Strus went from Division II Lewis University to DePaul and to the NBA. Matt Mooney went from Division II South Dakota to Texas Tech and now plays overseas.
“There are a lot of guys at the Division II level who can play, and I was fortunate enough to play at probably the highest level of D2 basketball in history,” Hawkins said. “But the speed of the game and athleticism is completely different here. Everything is bigger, faster stronger at this level, and that's been the biggest difference and biggest adjustment for me.”

Gonzaga will head into the NCAA Tournament exactly where it ended up in the final AP Top 25: right on top.
In fact, that's where the Bulldogs began the season, too.
It wasn't all smooth sailing for coach Mark Few's team, which dropped as low as fifth after a couple of early losses. But the Bulldogs wound up with 54 of the 61 first-place votes from a national media panel Monday after romping through the West Coast Conference Tournament to land at No. 1 in the final AP Top 25 for the second straight year.
Now, it's a matter of finishing things off. The Bulldogs, who earned the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year, lost to Baylor in last year's national championship game.
“It's an amazing accomplishment,” Few said. “It's a reward for being good for four months, 4 1/2 months, and this (NCAA) tournament is a reward for being good for three weeks. So I think it's an amazing accomplishment by this group and last year's group, and these No. 1 seeds we've been able to earn is also simply another amazing accomplishment.”
The Bulldogs begin their quest for that elusive national tile on Thursday against Georgia State in Portland, Oregon, where they should have a hefty fan advantage. They would face Boise State or Memphis in the West Region's second round.
“It's a fool's errand to look down the road. There's so many good teams,” Few said. “We just finished a two-game tournament and that's what this is: a two-game tournament. You don't win the first one, you don't get the second one.”
The top four teams in the final AP Top 25 landed on the top four seed lines of the NCAA Tournament.
Arizona, which got the other seven first-place votes to finish second, will open against the play-in winner between Wright State and Bryant in the South Region. The Wildcats were followed by at No. 3 by Kansas, the top team in the Midwest, and Big 12 rival Baylor, which landed on the top seed line in the East Region.
The Jayhawks play the Texas Southern-Texas A&M Corpus Christi winner while the Bears open against Norfolk State.
The biggest departure between the bracket and the final poll came with SEC Tournament champ Tennessee, which landed at fifth in the AP Top 25. The Vols didn't get the same kind of support from the selection committee, earning the third seed in the South Region and a tough potential road through Arizona and No. 2 seed Villanova to reach the Final Four.
“Wherever they put us, we’ll go. Got to be ready to play, and again,” Volunteers coach Rick Barnes said. “Just I’m happy for our guys, and we’ll see what happens going forward. We have a new season starting again. We have to be ready.”
BEST OF THE REST
Villanova was sixth in the final Top 25, followed by Kentucky, Auburn and Duke — all of them No. 2 seeds in the NCAA tourney — with Purdue rounding out the top 10. The Boilermakers earned the No. 3 seed in the East Region.
UCLA was 11th and Texas Tech was No. 12. They were followed by Providence and Wisconsin, each of which was left off one of the Top 25 ballots, with Houston coming in at No. 15. Big Ten Tournament champion Iowa was 16th with Arkansas, Saint Mary's, Illinois and Murray State rounding out the top 20. UConn, Southern California, Boise State, Colorado State and Texas finished out the final Top 25 of the college basketball season.
POLE-RIZING PREDICTIONS
No team has been No. 1 in the final Top 25 and gone on to win the national championship since Kentucky in 2012, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good barometer for who to watch in the NCAA Tournament. Each of the last six national champions finished among the top six in the final poll, including Baylor, which was third last season.
In fact, the lowest ranked team to win the title in at least 20 years was UConn, which was 18th in the 2014 final poll.
UP AND DOWN, IN AND OUT
Iowa was the biggest mover, climbing eight spots to No. 16, while Auburn slid four spots to No. 8. The only newcomer was Boise State at No. 23 while North Carolina fell out after losing to Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament semifinals.
CONFERENCE WATCH
The Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12 tied for the most teams in the final Top 25 with four apiece, while the Pac 12 and Big East each had three. The West Coast and Mountain West conferences each had two teams while the once-mighty ACC had only Duke — the same number of teams as the Ohio Valley (Murray State) and American (Houston) conferences.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Anirban Lahiri of India steadied himself early with a par and moved back in front with a 12-foot birdie to complete a 5-under 67 on Monday morning and take a one-shot lead into the final round of The Players Championship.
The tournament that seems like it will never end now has a clear sight to the finish line and the $3.6 million payoff to the winner.
And the road is just as crowded.
Sebastian Munoz of Colombia completed the low round of the long week with bogey-free 65 and was in the group one shot behind along with Doug Ghim (68), Paul Casey (69) and Sam Burns (71).
Fourteen players were separated by three shots, the margin Justin Thomas made up in the final round last year. The final round this year was scheduled for Monday afternoon.
Lahiri would be among the biggest surprise winners in a championship that features the strongest and deepest field in golf. While he has won nine times on tours in Asia and Europe, and played in the Presidents Cup in 2015, he has never won on the PGA Tour.
He is No. 332 in the world and goes after that first PGA Tour title at an event with the largest purse in golf at $20 million, with $3.6 million to the winner.
None of that was enough to cause him a sleepless night going into the final day. He knew he had 25 holes left when he returned in ideal conditions Monday morning.
“That's a lot of golf on a lot of golf course,” Lahiri said. “There’s not much to get too far ahead of yourself. I’m just trying to stay in the moment and just do what I need to do next.”
Lahiri, after a bogey on No. 15 to fall back into a share of the lead, got up-and-down from left of the green on the par-5 16th with a 12-foot birdie putt to move ahead. He was at 9-under 207.
Thomas was trying to stay in the game in his bid to become the first back-to-back winner of The Players since it began in 1974. But he found the water on the par-5 16th for bogey, and his pitch from the trees on the 18th went into the water. He had to make a 12-foot putt for bogey and a 72, leaving him six shots behind.
Tom Hoge, who shared the 18- and 36-hole lead, had a 72 and joined Cameron Smith (69) in the group two behind. Among those three back were former British Open champion Shane Lowry, whose third round was highlighted by a hole-in-one on the island-green 17th; Louis Oosthuizen and Russell Knox, who left Scotland for Jacksonville University and never left.
While it has been hard to keep track of days, the tournament finally took shape Monday morning as the number of players in contention seemed to grow.
The Players is looked upon as the fifth-biggest tournament in the world with its $20 million purse, a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour and three-year exemptions to the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open.
It requires navigating a final round on the Stadium Course at the TPC Sawgrass, famous for its water even in sunshine.
Munoz made the cut with one shot to spare. Because of all the delays, he began the third round on the back nine away from the leaders and wound up among them, making an 18-foot birdie on the par-5 ninth hole to finish his round.
Casey is the most experienced among the top seven on the leaderboard, mainly from his Ryder Cup appearances. He started The Players with a triple bogey and now is one behind.
“What an opportunity,” Casey said. “I know you guys would say it’s not a star-studded leaderboard, it’s not the usual suspects. But every single PGA Tour event, the level of golf is unbelievable.”

VENICE, Fla. (AP) — Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna says he has addressed teammates and is sorry to fans for an arrest last year on charges of aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after police officers said they witnessed him attacking his wife.
Ozuna returned to the team this week for the first time since his May 29 arrest. He was placed on administrative leave during Major League Baseball's investigation and missed Atlanta's World Series championship run last fall.
MLB suspended the 31-year-old retroactively for 20 games under its domestic violence policy in November, allowing him to return for the start of the 2022 season.
“Yeah, I talked to my team," Ozuna said Monday, the first day of full-squad spring training workouts. "I spoke to my team and said, ‘I’m sorry, I made a mistake.’”
Ozuna was welcomed by teammates in the clubhouse Monday, and several Latino players gathered around his locker before practice began, just like old times.
“It’s good to have him back,” teammate Ronald Acuña Jr. said via interpreter. “You know, he’s a such a good ballplayer. You know, on and off the field and, you know, the things that happened off the field, those are challenges for everyone. Certain things that happen off the field, they can happen to anyone.”
Police body cam footage obtained by TMZ Sports two days after MLB announced its suspension appeared to show Ozuna grabbing his wife’s neck as officers arrived at their Georiga home. The Sandy Springs Police Department said in a statement in May that it also observed Ozuna throwing her against a wall and striking her with the cast on his injured left hand.
Ozuna said he has completed the requirements of a pretrial diversion program, a condition provided by the Fulton County District Attorney's office in order to have charges dropped. The program included 3-6 months of supervision. Ozuna also was ordered to complete a 24-week family violence intervention program, at least 200 hours of community service and an anger management course.
“I learned everything," he said of counseling. "I learned how you treat a person, how you be a better person, how you be the best daddy, how you be a human being. You learn everything from that.”
Ozuna said he is now “on the same page” with his family. He said he didn't think he had ever spent alone time with his three children prior to last summer and has been taking them to the playground and toy stores.
“I give time to my kids, that’s the most important thing,” he said. "Family first. That’s what I worry about right now, my family and then coming here, working hard, being honest with my teammates. That’s the most important thing.”
Ozuna said he hoped the public could forgive him.
“My fans, I’m going to give you the best and I’m going to be a better person, and I’m sorry," he said.
Ozuna was asked specifically what he would say to fans who are also victims of domestic violence.
“I just tell them, just treat me as the person that I was before,” he said. “Like, I was an amazing person out in the field. So I want to be like that. I’m going to give you my smile. If they think it’s not time to give me like good crowd, it’s OK.”
Ozuna's ban cost him $1.55 million of his $12 million salary last season. He is entering the second year of a $65 million, four-year contract with the Braves.
ACUÑA AT 95%
Star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. also returned to the club this week after tearing his right ACL in July.
The 2018 NL Rookie of the Year said the rehab process was difficult, doubly so because it sidelined him through a World Series championship run.
Asked where he is with his power and strength, Acuña estimated he's at 95%. He said he's resumed baserunning and defense drills but will wait for the green light from trainers and medical staff before returning to game action.
“If it was up to me, I’d say I’d be ready for opening day," he said via interpreter. “But we all know it’s not my decision. So either way, I’m just going to be ready.”
Atlanta hasn't put a timeline on Acuña's return.

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — All-Star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres likely will need surgery for a broken left wrist and could miss up to three months, general manager A.J. Preller said on Monday.
Tatis suffered the injury in the offseason, Preller said.
The injury is a blow to a team that was looking for a fresh start following a brutal late-season collapse that left them with yet another losing record.
Tatis, 23, had a series of injuries to his left shoulder last year, when he still led the NL with 42 home runs and finished third in balloting for the NL MVP. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/sports/article/Padres-star-Tatis-has-broken-wrist-could-be-out-17000952.php | 2022-03-14T16:59:00 | en | 0.970978 |

Emerging Chef: Amanda Shulman, Her Place Supper Club
When Amanda Shulman launched Her Place Supper Club last summer, she wanted to create a specific vibe "going over to your mom's friend's house for dinner."
That means the menu is set and everyone gets served at the same time.
Shulman introduced the communal dining experience during the darkest days of the pandemic, and now the Vetri alum is up for best emerging chef.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- At her namesake Dim Sum House by Jane G's, Jane Guo is known for her authentic dishes from the Southeast region of China, like crispy honey walnut shrimp, lobster noodles in a ginger and scallion sauce and beef chow fun.
But the most popular thing on the menu is the soup dumpling, part of the all day and night Cantonese and Shanghai dim sum menu.
Guo emigrated to the United States in the 1980s and opened her first restaurant in Pottstown.
She says building her now more than three decades old brand took a ton of hard work- 14-hour days, 7 days a week for 15 years.
And she says she faced doubters along the way, particularly her parents who were worried how she would juggle running two restaurants and raising three children after she and her husband divorced in 2004.
But she did it.
Now, after 32 years in the business, Guo's kids have grown up. Two of her sons have joined her in the restaurant, and she can take time off to spend with her 6-year-old granddaughter.
But don't let that talk of slowing down fool you. Jane says she plans to open a new spot very soon in Fishtown.

LONDON (AP) — Sports federations have set precedents by banning Russian and Belarusian athletes from competition following the invasion of Ukraine and they must remain firm to keep them in place, Olympic great Sebastian Coe said Monday.
Coe is a two-time Olympic champion runner from Britain who is now the president of World Athletics, the governing body of track and field. He spoke four days before the start of the world indoor championships. Both Russians and Belarusians have been excluded from that event, which will be held in Serbia.
“There’s not a single sports federation out there that naturally wants to exclude teams or individuals. That’s not something that we came into the sport for,” Coe said during a video conference call. “But I think we have to recognize that this is such a game changer. And, yes, it will set precedents.”
Athletes and teams from Russia and Belarus have been kicked out of dozens of sports since Russian forces invaded Ukraine last month, with some soldiers entering via Belarus. The biggest events to be immediately impacted by the decision to ban Russians and Belarusians include the upcoming track championships, the figure skating world championships and soccer.
The bans from soccer, which include the Russian national team from World Cup qualifying and Russian club Spartak Moscow from the Europa League competition, have been challenged by the Football Union of Russia. The first appeal rulings are expected this week from the Court of Arbitration for Sport — the highest sports court in the world.
“We absolutely accept that this will set precedents and those precedents will have to be faced individually and sequentially and they will be with us for years," Coe said. "We haven’t made this easy on ourselves but it is still the right decision.
“You cannot have aggressor nations, where you have so altered the landscape for the integrity of competition being untouched, while the actions of their governments have so influenced the integrity of sport elsewhere.”
Russia’s opponent in the World Cup qualifying playoffs, Poland, has said it won’t play against the country on March 24. The two next possible opponents, the Czech Republic and Sweden, have said the same.
Track and field had previously been the hardest on Russians following the country's state-sponsored doping scandal dating back to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Russians now have to be individually vetted in order to compete in international track events. The Russian track federation has been banned since 2015.
“I don’t have a problem with (banning Russians) because that’s what we’ve done in our sport. I don’t see why that should be different in any other sport if you’re making that judgement on the integrity of the sport,” Coe said. “Goodness me, in football, you’ve already seen teams that decided they’re not going to play in playoff rounds.
“The impact is across the board. So they are going to need to remain really firm on this and do exactly what we’ve done.”

WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) -- There are many connections between Villanova and the University of Delaware that will be examined between now and Friday, but one Blue Hen's story could take the focus away from all the others.
Delaware forward Dylan Painter started his college career at Villanova. But now he is looking to help the No. 15 Blue Hens get their first-ever win in the NCAA Tournament. To do so, they have to take down the second-seeded Wildcats.
It's UDel's first trip to the Big Dance since 2014, but Painter has been here before.
In his two and half years at Nova, he played in the tourney twice and won a National Championship.
But Painter, a health behavior science major, decided to transfer to Delaware.
"I felt like I've had two very good college basketball careers, over there and over here, so it's going to be exciting," Painter said.
The Hershey, Pa. native said watching and waiting for Delaware, the CAA champions, to be selected for March Madness felt different than when he was a Wildcat.
"This definitely felt a lot different than it felt back there. Usually, we were called like one of the first because I think we were first overall seeds both years," Painter said. "But this definitely felt better. Because this team worked for this and I feel like we've earned this. To be like a major contributor for a team that's going to the tournament is a great feeling."
WATCH: Local men's & women's teams hear March Madness selections
Painter said his phone was going off with texts so he hadn't gotten to moment to see if any of his former Villanova teammates had contacted him after the announcement was made.
Villanova head coach Jay Wright told reporters he still stays in touch with Painter.
Wright said he sends his former player messages if he sees he had a good game. Wright says Painter also reaches out from time to time.
"We're really proud of him. Not excited about playing him, honestly, he's gotten to be a really good player which we knew he would," Wright said.
Wright explained that Painter didn't leave the Nova program disgruntled. Wright said it was just a matter of Painter wanting to play more right away and getting that opportunity elsewhere.
Wright said Painter understood everything Villanova was about.
"We loved him and we stayed in touch. He knows what we can do and he can explain it. He's very intelligent," Wright said.
Wright said that is very concerning to him to play someone like Painter who knows what he knows, but that's what the Big East champions will have to do.
Blue Hens Head Coach Martin Ingelsby also has links to Nova.
His father played at the school. His two brothers and sister attended Villanova.
Ingelsby said he has great respect for Villanova and Jay Wright, and it will be an honor to play them on Friday. Just don't look for his family cheering on the Wildcats.
"I have a lot of friends and family who went to Villanova, supportive of their program, but I think they'll be sitting on our side Friday," Ingelsby said.
Painter meanwhile is coming to grips with facing his former team.
"I was like 'no way this happens, no way the stars align like this.' And then when we got that call up, my whole body is just like, 'wow, I can't believe this.' So it'll be good to have all of Delaware come out and support us. I know it's a big football rivalry. We'll make it a big basketball rivalry," Painter said.
The first-round game will take place Friday at 2:45 p.m. at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts has two exhibitions on display, one in the old building, one in the new and both celebrating women artists. Karen Rogers has the story in this week's 6abc Loves the Arts.
Women in Motion, 150 years of Women's Artistic Networks at PAFA showcases the works of more than 50 women artists.
"We really went big in celebrating women artists," says Anna O. Marley, Curator and Vice President of Museum Research and Scholarship at PAFA.
Filling more than half the galleries of PAFA's historic landmark building, it explores the role of women artists at PAFA from its 1805 founding to the end of World War II.
"With a theme called Founding Mothers," says Marley.
One of them was Patience Wright, the first female professional sculptor in the U.S.
"She trained her son Joseph Wright to be a sculptor," says Marley.
He then trained PAFA founder William Rush.
"The whole theme of the show is about women's networks," says Marley.
The show was originally scheduled for before the pandemic.
"It was going to tie in with the centenary of 1920," says Marley.
Almost all of the works are from PAFA's permanent collection and one of the goals of the show was to get the women out of the vaults and into the public's view.
"I also wanted our students here at PAFA, to see a long legacy of women artists, and particularly queer women artists in the history of our institution," says Marley.
Across the plaza in PAFA's Hamilton Building, Joan Semmel: Skin in the Game is the first retrospective of Semmel's 60-year career.
"Joan came of age during the dominance of abstract expressionism. She takes the language of abstraction and transforms it and she starts doing these amazing large-scale paintings called the Sex and Erotic Series," says Marley.
At age 89, Semmel is still a practicing artist, and she was a pioneer in the feminist art movement.
"She's really calling attention to the beauty of the aging human body," says Marley.
Including her own.
"She is literally putting her skin in the game," says Marley.

Anti-Trump Republicans Hogan, Kinzinger, Cheney lining up for 2024 shadow primary
WASHINGTON - Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is considering a rough timeline for a potential presidential announcement. And allies of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are openly talking up her White House prospects.
More than two years before the next presidential election, a shadow primary is already beginning to take shape among at least three fierce Republican critics of former President Donald Trump to determine who is best positioned to occupy the anti-Trump lane in 2024.
Their apparent willingness to run — even if Trump does, as is widely expected — represents a shift from previous years when "Never Trump" operatives failed to recruit any GOP officeholders to challenge the incumbent president. But with the 2024 contest almost in view, the question is no longer whether one of Trump’s prominent Republican critics will run, but how many will mount a campaign and how soon they will announce.
Those close to Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger expect one of them, if not more, to launch a presidential bid after the 2022 midterms. While all three are nationally known to some degree, their goal would not necessarily be to win the presidency. Above all, they want to hinder Trump's return to the White House, at least compared with 2020, when his allies cleared the field of any Republican opponents and persuaded some states to cancel primary contests altogether.
"It’s there as an option, but it’s not necessarily because this is all some big plan so I can be in the White House," Kinzinger told The Associated Press when asked about his timeline for deciding on a presidential run. "It’s looking and saying, ‘Is there going to be a voice out there that can represent from that megaphone the importance of defending this country and democracy and what America is about?’ There certainly, I’m sure within the next year or so, will be a point at which you have to make a decision.
"If it’s not me doing anything, certainly we’ll be all in for whoever can represent us," Kinzinger said.
Republican primary voters are expected to have other options.
Several former Trump loyalists who have emerged as on-again, off-again Trump critics are also eyeing the GOP's next presidential nomination. Among them: former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. But most in this group have offered Trump far more praise than criticism, leaving the likes of Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger as the only consistent Trump antagonists in the 2024 conversation.
RELATED: Trump turns to endorsements in several high-profile midterm contests
The range of prospects suggests an openness within the GOP to move past Trump and his divisive politics, even as many Republican voters suggest they would like to see him run a third time.
About 7 in 10 Republicans said the former president should run for president again in 2024, according to a CBS poll last month. Among the most common reasons they cited: He’s the best Republican candidate and has the best chance of winning.
Lest anyone question his intentions, Trump told thousands of supporters Saturday night in South Carolina, "We may have to run again." He remains the most popular figure among Republican voters and plans to use the upcoming midterms to keep bending the party in his direction. He was in South Carolina, for instance, to support GOP rivals to two incumbent members of Congress who have crossed him.
But those close to Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger insist a significant number of less vocal Republican voters are eager to move past Trump, especially after he inspired the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. After all, 10 Republican representatives voted to impeach Trump and seven Republican senators subsequently voted to convict him.
"There is a large and growing lane of Republicans and Americans across the political spectrum who are fed up with toxic politics and want to move in a new direction," Hogan told the AP. "While I’m focused on finishing my term as governor strong, I’m going to continue to stand up and be a voice for getting our party and our country back on the right track."
For now, Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger remain friendly and in semi-regular contact.
The 65-year-old, term-limited Hogan will leave office at the end of the year. He already decided against a 2022 Senate campaign, rebuffing an aggressive lobbying effort from Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. He said he saw himself as an executive more than a legislator.
Kinzinger, among 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump, chose not to seek reelection after his district was redrawn in the Democrats' favor. Only Cheney, who also voted to impeach, is running to retain her seat in this fall’s midterms, although she is no lock to win her primary election in August.
Trump is pushing hard for Cheney's defeat. And while her allies indicate she is focused on her reelection, it's an open secret that she is seriously considering a presidential run once the 2022 race is decided.
By some measures, the 55-year-old daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney has the strongest national profile. Cheney is building a national fundraising network, as demonstrated by a $7.1 million fundraising haul in 2021, among the most in the nation for any House member.
Wyoming state Rep. Landon Brown, a Cheney ally, said this network will allow her to compete on a national scale. Of a Cheney presidential run, he said, "I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t" happen.
"She’s opened up the door across the country by standing up on a national platform that bridges that middle gap of the people that were frustrated on both the left and the right," Brown said. "I don’t think it would be easy, but she would be a formidable candidate, for sure."
Cheney has encouraged 2024 speculation by delivering prominent speeches about the future of the Republican Party in recent months, including a November address in New Hampshire, which typically hosts the first presidential primary election.
Meanwhile, both Hogan and Kinzinger are building political organizations that could serve as vehicles to promote their presidential ambitions after they leave office early next year.
Hogan's advocacy group, America United, has millions in the bank, according to an adviser. To strengthen his network, Hogan is planning to travel to Iowa and New Hampshire — the first and second states on the traditional presidential primary calendar — to stump for local candidates in the coming months.
Hogan is working to help Trump's loudest Republican critics in other states as well.
Hogan had lunch last week with Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, who has refused to embrace Trump's lies about the 2020 election. Hogan also plans to host events for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif. He voted to impeach Trump for inspiring the Jan. 6 insurrection while Murkowski voted for Trump's conviction.
Kinzinger's outside group, Country First, now claims chapters in 38 states and a growing fundraising base.
The 44-year-old Illinois congressman, a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, plans to spend much of the year working to defeat Republicans in the midterms who promote Trump's false claims of voter fraud. Last month, he announced a plan to encourage Democrats and independents to cast ballots in Republican primaries when possible to oust pro-Trump candidates.
Kinzinger said he would even consider a 2024 run as an independent if that's the best way to stop Trump, although he prefers to stay a Republican.
"This country is built really for two parties, like it or love it or hate it," he told the AP. "Never rule anything out. But my hope would be to be able to find the salvation of the GOP."

The complicated reasons gas prices are so high – and what we can do about it
WASHINGTON - Gas prices are not going up because of the Keystone Pipeline cancelation or because the Biden administration paused oil extraction permits. The real reasons are more complicated than that.
Last year, with the U.S. and much of the world shut down for the pandemic, driving and travel cratered – and with it, the demand for oil and gas. Gas prices sharply dropped, so the oil producers cut way back on production.
The U.S. reduced production by a million barrels a day, and OPEC Plus nations reduced production by 10 million barrels a day.
Then, as the pandemic eased and people who had saved up their money were hungry to travel after being pent up for so long, demand shot way up. But it takes time to ramp back up production and supply.
So crude oil, which had dropped to $30 a barrel during the pandemic, shot up to $80 per barrel.

As 2022 arrived, oil prices continued to rise during the run-up to the invasion of Ukraine, with fears that Russia, as one of the world’s largest oil producers, would disrupt the market. And they’ve remained high as the invasion led to global sanctions.
Some Republicans also blame rising gas prices on President Biden for canceling the Keystone XL pipeline extension, and for pausing new permits for extraction on public land. But neither one of things have any direct bearing on the rising gas prices we’re seeing today.
The Keystone Pipeline and oil prices

The Keystone Pipeline extension would have funneled more Canadian oil to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas, where much of the refined oil would then be exported. But the pipeline extension was never built; its parent company canceled the project after President Biden revoked its permits in one of his first actions after taking office.
According to TC Energy’s official announcement from 2020, the pipeline was not expected to enter service until 2023 – meaning even if Biden had not canceled it, it still would not have been in play this year.
Oil extraction permits

President Biden did pause new oil extraction permits on public land, but while doing so, he also still managed to approve more permits than President Trump did a year into his term.
Progressive organizations even called him out for that, as in one report from Public Citizen titled "Biden’s Oil Letdown: Despite pledge to stop drilling on public lands, Trump-era drilling boom continues under Biden."
"Even amid the pandemic, companies in the United States pumped more oil during my first year in office than they did during my predecessor’s first year," Biden has noted.
Production also plummeted in Trump’s waning months in office, but again, that was due to the pandemic.
RELATED: Gas vs. electric vehicles: Advantages of each car as gas prices soar
As President Biden took office, production grew, and the trend in domestic oil production has gone up ever since.
And while the Biden administration did pause new permit approvals, it notes there are some 9,000 approved permits going unused – that’s some 23 million acres’ worth of approved leases going unused.
In December, Biden’s secretary of energy, Jennifer Granholm, told the oil gas and oil lobby, "Please take advantage of the leases that you have. Hire workers, get your rig count up."
Why are permits going unused?

In that same December video call, Granholm also acknowledged one of the biggest challenges in new drilling: "There are struggles around financing."
And that’s where the Biden administration’s move toward clean energy – and the president’s own words – could be making it harder for the oil producers to line up the investors they need to for new drilling operations on all that land that has already been approved.
On the campaign trail, Biden promised to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Such a move would eventually get the U.S. out of the predicament of relying on global villains – and propping up their regimes – while also fueling the climate crisis.
But in the meantime, it might also give oil drilling investors some pause, which could lead to some land approved for extraction sitting idle.
How can we lower oil prices?
Now, politicians are looking at different proposals to reduce the impact of rising prices, from temporary gas tax holidays to banning domestic oil from going to other countries so we can use it here.
After all, the U.S. is the global leader in oil production, but doing that would hit other nations that depend on our oil, which could drive up global prices even more – and make other nations even more dependent on Russia.
The president ruled out an export ban before the invasion, and then after the invasion banned oil imports coming in from Russia.
President Biden said that means the U.S. won’t be funding Putin’s war by buying Russian oil, but it also means our gas prices will go up even more.
RELATED: US revokes Russia’s ‘most favored nation' status, bans seafood, alcohol, diamond imports
"We import about 200,000 barrels of Russian oil a day, and we can easily replace that by producing 200,000 barrels a day of our own oil," U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R, Fla.) explained.
To that end, Exxon plans to increase production by 100,000 barrels in western Texas and New Mexico. Chevron plans to increase by 60,000 barrels a day, while the releases from the strategic reserves figure into the mix as well.
RELATED: List of Russian goods that are banned, boycotted in US
The U.S. is on the path to replacing Russian oil, but it will take time and prices continue to rise. And that has led then Biden administration to look into ways to try to get more oil from Venezuela or Iran to replace what we’re banning from Putin.
The bottom line is, it’s all far more complicated than what the politicians’ sound bites and tweets may suggest.

Former Amazon delivery driver who allegedly shot man in Clifton Heights arrested, police say
PHILADELPHIA - Federal U.S. Marshals and police have arrested a former Amazon delivery driver who allegedly shot a man in Clifton Heights two weeks ago, according to police.
On February 28, officers responded to the intersection of Springfield Road and Oak Avenue for reports of a gunshot victim.
Officers found a 58-year-old man on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the stomach, according to authorities.
Police say the man told officers he was shot by an Amazon delivery driver who he had gotten into a minor accident with.
The delivery driver was identified as Anthony Jones of Philadelphia.
Jones was taken into custody on Monday, according to Clifton Heights Police.
He was allegedly at a relative's home in Philadelphia and arrested without incident, police say.
He faces several charges including attempted homicide and aggravated assault.

Ukrainian president Zelenskyy to virtually address US Congress Wednesday
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy will virtually address members of the U.S. Congress Wednesday morning, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Monday.
His address is scheduled to take place via video at 9 a.m. ET on March 16, 2022, with all members of Congress invited to attend at the U.S. Capitol.
Zelenskyy’s address comes as his country’s war with Russia enters its third week, and as Congress recently approved $13.6 billion in emergency military and humanitarian aid for the country. The war has forced more than 2.8 million people to flee Ukraine. Thousands of civilians and soldiers have been killed.
"The Congress, our country and the world are in awe of the people of Ukraine," said Pelosi and Schumer in an email to colleagues obtained by FOX Television Stations.
"We look forward to the privilege of welcoming President Zelenskyy’s address to the House and Senate and to convey our support to the people of Ukraine as they bravely defend democracy," the leaders said.
Zelenskyy spoke by video with House and Senate lawmakers earlier this month, delivering a desperate plea for more military aid. Details of what Zelenskyy might address Wednesday weren’t given. The event will be livestreamed for the public.

Meanwhile, Russian troops were keeping up pressure on Ukraine's capital Monday and air raid sirens were heard across the besieged country overnight. Russia escalated its offensive on Sunday by shelling areas close to the Polish border, including an air base critical to Ukraine's defense.
A fourth round of talks was also underway Monday between Ukrainian and Russian officials via video conference to discuss getting aid to cities and towns under fire, among other issues. Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted a photo of the two sides meeting by video link.
The talks will involve the same higher-level officials who met earlier in neighboring Belarus. Previous talks have not led to major breakthroughs or a solution for getting aid or evacuation convoys to Mariupol.
"Everyone is waiting for news. We will definitely report in the evening," Zelenskyy said Monday in a new video address.
Zelenskyy has called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet with him directly, a request that has gone unanswered by the Kremlin.

Also Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied media reports alleging that Russia asked China for military assistance to help advance its offensive in Ukraine.
"No, Russia has its own potential to continue the operation, which, as we have said, is unfolding in accordance with the plan and will be completed on time and in full," Peskov told his daily conference call with reporters.

A 27-year-old youth died in the early hours of Monday after his two-wheeler met with an accident on a potholed road near MS Palya in the city.
🗞️ Subscribe Now: Get Express Premium to access the best Election reporting and analysis 🗞️
At 9.20pm on Sunday, Ashwin, a native of Haveri district, was returning home from a restaurant, where he had gone to buy food for his mother, when he failed to notice a pothole and lost control of the two-wheeler, police sources said. He fell on the road, was seriously injured and later succumbed to the injuries at a nearby hospital. A police officer said there was a delay of 20-25 minutes in shifting Ashwin’s body to the hospital and that he had lost a lot of blood by the time he reached there.
“Two days ago I told him to ride carefully and specifically told him about the potholes which posed a danger. I am alive only because of him and have struggled a lot to raise him. But now I donot have a purpose to live. No mother should go through this pain,” his mother Vasudha said. Ashwin was her only son.
The Yelahanka traffic police registered a case against officials of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board under Section of 304 (a) of the Indian Penal Code.
Aam Aadmi Party workers and locals protested against civic agencies for their negligence in filling the potholes. Soon after the incident, corporation officials rushed to asphalt the road.
Corporation chief commissioner Gaurav Gupta said he had sought a report about the unfortunate incident. Another corporation official blamed the sewerage board, saying its officials had failed to fill the pothole after digging up the road for repairing a pipeline near a manhole.
While hearing a public-interest petition, the Karnataka High Court had recently pulled up the corporation engineer-in-chief over the failure to fill potholes.
Past incidents

Mumbai police have recorded the statements of eight persons, including the former Superintendent of Police, District Magistrate and deputy District Magistrate of Dadra and Nagar Haveli (DNH), who have been named in the FIR filed in the death of the Union Territory’s (UT) MP Mohan Delkar. In their statement to police, all the eight accused have stated that they did not take action against Delkar or his close associates with an intention to harass him but were just performing their duty.
The summons were issued to them in the end of January, almost a year after 58-year-old Delkar, a seven-term Member of Parliament, was found dead in a room at a hotel in Mumbai’s Marine Drive area on February 22, 2021.
On March 9, 2021, Mumbai Police registered an FIR in the case for offences punishable under section 306 (abetment to suicide), 506 (Criminal intimidation) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) along with provisions of The SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
The FIR, filed by Delkar’s son Abhinav, 30, alleged that the Parliamentarian had been under pressure for a year prior to his death, adding that DNH administration was continuously harassing him and behaving disrespectfully with him to gain control over Delkar’s college – SSR College of Pharmacy and Management – and to prevent him from contesting further elections.
The complaint was filed against Praful Khoda Patel, the UT’s Administrator, Sandeep Singh, the then District Collector, Sharad Darade, then Superintendent of Police, Apurva Sharma, then Deputy Collector, Manasvi Jain, Sub Divisional Officer, Manoj Patel, Police Inspector (Silvassa), Rohit Yadav (DNH administrative department official), Fattesingh Chauhan (political leader) and Dilip Patel (Talathi of Silvassa) for allegedly having abetted the suicide by misusing their posts and powers and intentionally conspiring and planning against Delkar.
Since the time of registration of the FIR, the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which was set up by Maharashtra’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to probe the suicide matter, have made multiple visits to DNH and have been collecting evidences against the nine persons booked in the case.
“Following this, in the last week of January, everyone besides administrator Patel were summoned for questioning after which they approached the High Court against it. The court…directed them to appear before the investigators after which their statements were recorded,” said a police officer.
Without divulging the date and details on the content of their statements, police said their statements were recorded in the course of two days.
The investigators have further said that all the eight accused have refuted the allegations made against them.
“Of the eight accused, seven are high-ranking government officers and in their statements they have claimed that they did not take action against Delkar with an intention to harass him but were only doing their jobs,” said an officer.

Two cases of suicides were reported at Worli police station on Sunday involving a 19-year-old man who allegedly hanged himself from a tree and a 37-year-old man whose body was fished out of the Arabian sea.
According to police officials, the teenager, identified as Vikram Bagdi, was from West Bengal and had been working as a labourer at a police camp in Worli.
Senior inspector Anil Koli of Worli police station said, “We are yet to ascertain any reason behind him ending his life. We have learnt that he spoke to his mother on Saturday night, after which he went to sleep.”
Next morning, around 6am, his co-workers found him hanging from a tree in the C block area after which police was informed. His remains were sent to KEM hospital and an accidental death report was registered.
In the second instance, the body of Jawahar Dubey, 37, was fished out of the sea on Sunday afternoon.
“Soon after his body was recovered, we drafted a message along with his picture and broadcast it. His relatives saw the message after which they came to the police station and identified the deceased,” added Koli.
Police said that Dubey, a resident of Dadar, recently underwent a divorce due to which he was “mentally disturbed”.
An officer said, “We have also learnt that he was receiving treatment for his mental health. The mental issues could be a reason why he ended his life,” said an officer.

The trailer of Kardashians’ new Hulu show The Kardashians is out, and it promises to be a no holds barred reality show.
We see the family teasing Kim with Pete as she is apparently seen texting him while smiling sheepishly, and next up the audience sees a screen grab from their SNL sketch where the duo played Aladdin and Jasmine.
Later, Kylie Jenner is heard about talking her pregnancy. However, the headline grabbing moment has to be Kim K talking about former partner Kanye West. She is heard saying, “It’s really hard with Kanye, he told me my career is over.”
We also get to see some sweet moments between Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. The lovebirds are also seen discussing a future pregnancy.
All in all, the Kardashian family seems to have upped the ante for their next reality show. However, if it will be as successful as their previous outing, remains to be seen.
The Kardashians will premiere on April 14 on Hulu.

The Ministry of Defence, including the armed forces, has been allocated Rs 5.38 lakh crore in this year’s Budget, nearly one-fourth less than its projected demand of more than Rs 7 lakh crore.
According to figures shared by Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt in Rajya Sabha Monday, this year’s budgeted spending on defence, as a share of the government’s total expenditure, will also be the lowest in five years.
Answering questions in the Upper House, Bhatt said in the Budget Estimates for this year the Defence Ministry had projected Rs 4.87 lakh crore for Defence Services Estimates, of which Rs 3.85 lakh crore has been allocated.
Similarly, the ministry had projected Rs 2.15 lakh crore for capital outlay – to acquire new weapons and modernise the forces. Against the demand, Bhatt said, allocation of Rs 1.52 lakh crore has been received.

The difference in what the Defence Ministry had asked for and what has been allocated to it is Rs 1.64 lakh crore – nearly a quarter.
Bhatt replied in the affirmative when Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi asked him if the “Finance Commission’s report indicated that the gap in the Defence Budget between the estimated requirement and allocation could be around Rs 2.81 lakh crore” in this financial year. But he said the figure was based on the Defence Plan Projections made in the past.
“… funds are allocated to services depending upon outstanding Committed Liabilities, expenditure trend and likely outgo on new schemes,” Bhatt said, adding additional funds, if needed, are sought at the supplementary or the revised estimates stage.
“It is ensured that urgent and critical capabilities are acquired without any compromise to operational preparedness of the Defence Services,” he said.
Figures shared by Bhatt in response to a question by senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, showed a decline in defence expenditure as a share of the Central Government Expenditure (CGE), since 2017-18.
Since 2017-18, when it was 17.73 per cent of CGE, the defence expenditure in the budget estimates for this financial year has fallen to 13.31 per cent of CGE.
Although the decline has been steady, the sharpest slide was between 2019-20 and 2020-21, when the share of defence expenditure in CGE dropped from 16.86 per cent to 13.84 per cent.
In absolute terms, however, the defence expenditure has gone up. In 2017-2018, it was Rs 3.79 lakh crore, jumping to Rs 5.02 lakh crore in 2021-22, and now to Rs 5.25 lakh crore this fiscal.
The data, Bhatt said, reflects that while in percentage terms the defence expenditure as a share of CGE has fluctuated, “there has, however, been consistent increase in defence expenditure in absolute terms year after year.”

Written by Rodion Ebbighausen
From the beginning of the war in Ukraine, it was clear that China would not condemn Russia’s invasion. On February 25, Beijing abstained from a vote on a UN Security Council draft resolution condemning the attack. China also abstained from a condemnation of the war by 141 countries in the UN General Assembly.
And Beijing’s implicit support of Russia continues despite Moscow’s continued escalation of the war.
Last week, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China’s friendship with Russia was “solid as a rock,” and constituted the “most important bilateral relationship” in the world contributing to “peace, stability and development.”
Wang blamed a “Cold War mentality” as the real reason for the war in Ukraine. This catchphrase has been increasingly used by China in recent years, especially in its criticism of the United States.
“We must overcome the Cold War mentality and instead focus on peaceful coexistence and win-win strategies,” Chinese President Xi Jinping told the World Economic Forum in Geneva in January.
“The only thing more dangerous is the pursuit of hegemony and the oppression of others who resist the course of history,” Xi said. Although he did not name the United States, it was clear that this message was directed at Washington.
East vs. West
As is already well known, the Cold War roughly lasted from 1947 to 1989 and included two camps: the so-called Western powers, led by the US, and the Eastern bloc, led by the USSR, nominally on the sides of capitalism and communism, respectively. The Cold War ended with the disintegration of the Eastern bloc and the Soviet Union.
China, which stood by the side of its Soviet brother state after World War II, had a falling out with Moscow in 1960. China’s leader, Mao Zedong, and USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev had different interpretations of relations with the West. The USSR under Khrushchev wanted to pursue a policy of “peaceful coexistence,” while Mao wanted to take a more aggressive course toward a Communist-led global revolution.

Today, when China speaks of a “Cold War mentality,” there can no longer be any talk of two polarized camps.
In the view of the Chinese leadership, the United States and NATO have not overcome a Cold War mindset. In this context, Russia is permanently threatened by NATO.
Similarly, China says it is threatened by the Indo-Pacific strategies of the US and the EU, like for instance the trilateral security pact involving the US, the UK and Australia (AUKUS) under which the US and the UK will help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines, or even by loose security dialogues such as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD), in which the US, Japan, India and Australia participate.
At the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics in early February, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Xi met and reaffirmed the friendship between Russia and China.
In a joint statement, the leaders said they opposed the “further expansion of NATO,” while calling on the alliance to “abandon its ideologized Cold War approaches, respect the sovereignty, security and interests of other countries and the diversity of their civilizational, cultural and historical backgrounds, and adopt a fair and objective attitude toward the peaceful development of other countries.”
Cold War 2.0
It is true that more and more politicians and analysts in the West are talking about a new Cold War. The expression “Cold War 2.0” is used to refer to the growing tensions between Washington and Beijing, but also between the European Union and China. In March 2019, the EU Commission officially declared China a “systemic rival.”
From China’s perspective, this terminology transfers outdated thinking from the 20th century into the 21st. Beijing tends to see the US, its international partners, and NATO as unilaterally seeking confrontation with China, and also with Russia.
For example, Beijing says that its multibillion-dollar Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) project is only aimed at peaceful coexistence and cooperation with partner countries. Conversely, China says the Indo-Pacific strategies of the West are primarily aimed at countering Chinese interests, rather than providing a platform for development.
Political scientist Michal Lubina of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, who has been researching Russian-Chinese relations for many years, told DW that the world is moving toward a new Cold War, with China as the main adversary of the West.
“Of course, the Indo-Pacific strategy is a kind of new containment of China,” he said, adding that Beijing is not entirely wrong in thinking that the West is organizing strategies to counter Chinese power.
China and Russia’s ‘Cold War mentality’
It takes two to tango in a Cold War. Lubina emphasizes that neither China nor Russia is a selfless benefactor who is being prevented from “contributing to world peace, stability and development,” as Wang Yi put it.
And no matter what Beijing says, it was not a Cold War mentality or an outdated 20th century thought pattern that triggered the war of aggression in Ukraine, rather a decision by the Russian government. “There was no threat whatsoever from Ukraine,” Lubina said.
The analyst said China’s talk of a Cold War mentality and Russia’s justifications that its actions are intended to defend itself from NATO are hypocritical. Russia and China both think and act in Cold War categories.
“They believe that smaller and medium-sized countries have no agenda,” Lubina said. “I would even go so far as to say that, if Russia had taken Ukraine seriously, there would be no war. Because then they would have taken the Ukrainian army seriously, as well,” he added.
In Russia’s worldview, it is impossible to conceive that sovereign states such as Ukraine would make use of their sovereignty and decide of their own free will in favor of democracy and closer ties with the European Union.
The fact that Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, has its own ideas about its future is also unacceptable to Beijing, which sees Taiwan as a Chinese province.
And China’s behavior has made clear that the leadership in Beijing sees the world in spheres of influence in which a few large nations alone decide how the world is ordered.
As early as 2010, the then Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi told the countries of Southeast Asia: “China is a big country. Other countries are small. This is simply a fact.” Yang was implying that the countries of Southeast Asia should bow to China’s claim to leadership, entirely in the tradition of the Cold War.

(The Hill) – Not everyone is suffering from high gas prices that have spiked further with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the international sanctions imposed on Moscow.
Some players, including the U.S. oil producers, stand to gain financially. And countries such as Saudi Arabia stand to gain both monetarily and politically.
On Friday, U.S. oil prices stood at around $106 per barrel, while international benchmark Brent crude cost $110 per barrel. Gas in the United States costs $4.33 per gallon on average.
Here’s a look at who is benefitting — or could benefit — from the spike.

Companies that drill for oil
As oil prices rise, producers can get more money for their product.
“Oil drillers and producers — it’s a grand slam for them right now,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, a gasoline price-tracking website.
He said the industry is essentially in the opposite position of where it stood in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic crushed demand.
Claudio Galimberti, senior vice president of analysis at Rystad Energy, said all types of producers, except those in Russia, stand to gain.
“Biggest winners in this price environment are the producers – all of them, Shale, Canadian, onshore, offshore, etc. apart from the Russian ones, of course,” he said in an email.
The fact that these companies can profit has spurred left-wing criticism and some accusations of price gouging.
“American oil and gas companies should not exploit this moment to hike their prices to raise profits,” President Biden said last month.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) this week announced legislation that would impose a tax on major oil companies based on the difference in oil prices between pre-pandemic years and now. But the bill faces resistance from Republicans and moderate Democrats and faces an uncertain future.
De Haan dismissed the idea that companies should purposefully limit their profits.
“You’re asking producers to defy the logic behind supply and demand and economics. That would be akin to asking somebody on the housing market ‘oh would you please sell your house for $100,000 less to help out this person,’” De Haan said. “That’s not really the way America works.”
Shale producers
Shale oil producers are particularly well-suited to benefit from high gas prices given the relatively quick turnaround for extracting this type of oil.
Shale is a type of rock that can be found Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and other states that contains oil and gas. Producers often use a controversial technique called fracking to develop these fuels.
The process for extracting shale usually takes less time than does extracting conventional oil, meaning that shale producers can more easily ramp up production in response to the high prices.
“Shale is in [a] particularly good situation…mainly because of its short cycle and the fact that it can respond quickly to the price,” said Antoine Halff, an adjunct senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University.
“And also, that doesn’t entail making a bet on the long-term outlook for oil demand, so it’s not a long-term commitment,” added Halff, the former chief oil analyst at the International Energy Agency.
Still, he noted that shale producers so far have been hesitant to ramp up production.
“Prices have been rising prior to the invasion and there was no evidence of a steep supply response of the shale industry. Now it’s a different story because it’s not just an increase in prices, it’s also the fact that Russian barrels are off the market — at least off the western market — so there’s a supply gap,” Halff said.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates could benefit from the price spike if they decide to put more oil on the market.
Saudi Arabia usually has 1.5 million to 2 million barrels of oil per day of “spare capacity” – or barrels that can be quickly moved onto the market and sustained for a period of time. The UAE also has spare capacity.
“The United States also has spare capacity, but it takes time to ramp up, it takes at least six months,” Galimberti said. “For Saudi Arabia, it literally is just a matter of opening up the vault and the oil will start flowing.”
The UAE reportedly indicated this week that it wanted to move to fill the supply gap. UAE Ambassador to the U.S. Yousef Al Otaiba said this week that Abu Dhabi supports “production increases and will be encouraging OPEC to consider higher production levels,” according to the Financial Times.
But, Halff said that Saudi Arabia may want to get political wins out of Washington – like recognition of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman as the country’s leader– before opening up its oil spigot, even if they could benefit financially from doing so.
“It’s no secret that they have been unhappy with the way they have been treated by the Biden administration and it’s probably fair to expect that they try to extract some concessions or some benefits from the Biden administration,” he said.
Kristine Berzina, a senior fellow and head of the geopolitics team at the Alliance for Securing Democracy, told The Hill that the crisis “in the short term certainly” benefits the Saudis.
“But I wouldn’t say that this is a long-term change for any of these countries, because anything, that crisis shows that reliance on autocrats and dictators for an important fuel of any kind is a bad idea,” she added.
Although OPEC nations benefited from the initial price spike in fall of 2021, it may soon grow to be too much of a good thing, according to Ben Cahill, a senior fellow in the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Compared to last year, “now I think we’re entering the danger zone, where prices have shot up so dramatically, that they do start to worry about demand destruction and pressure from their consumers,” he said. “Not just the United States but China and other importers too.”
“So I don’t really think that they want $100 [a barrel] plus oil,” Cahill said. “They feel like the market’s gotten a little bit out of control.”
Iran — if it can get a nuclear deal across the finish line
If Iran could get a nuclear deal with the U.S. and other nations across the finish line, it may be able to get its barrels on the market.
Even prior to the invasion of Ukraine, the U.S., Russia and western powers such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom had been working to revive a deal with Iran in an effort to prevent the Middle Eastern nation from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
The U.S. has sanctions on Iranian oil, but those could be lifted in the event of a deal.
“If they get the nuclear deal done, sanctions are likely to be lifted and you’re likely to see more Iranian oil on the market,” said Samantha Gross, who worked in international affairs at the Energy Department during the Obama administration.
In that case, the country would be able to benefit from selling its barrels for a high rate amid the supply crunch. And it could help ease high prices in the U.S. and other countries.
Elliott Abrams, who served as George W. Bush’s deputy national security adviser, argued that the current oil markets would increase the boon that a deal could bring to Iran.
“At $100 a barrel, you’re talking about billions and billions of dollars,” said Abrams, who was also the Trump administration’s special representative for Iran and Venezuela.
But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also injected new difficulties into the Iran negotiations.
During a White House press briefing this week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki noted that the U.S. was in talks with Iran, but stressed that the focus was on preventing it from getting a nuclear bomb.
“The most important reason why we are focused and have been focused on having these discussions with the Iranians…is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” she said.
“Certainly the discussion of oil is a part of that, but the most important reason is to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” she added. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/heres-who-stands-to-win-from-high-gas-prices/ | 2022-03-14T17:07:14 | en | 0.964165 |
(iSeeCars) – Fuel-efficient pickup trucks with high mpg ratings were once a challenge to find. Today, the truck segment has both midsize trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and full-size trucks like the Ford F-150, offering better fuel economy than prior model years. While pickup trucks don’t get the same EPA ratings as sedans or SUVs, there are still plenty of fuel-efficient trucks that now feature a hybrid powertrain along with gas and diesel engine options. Fuel economy ratings for pickup trucks have risen over the years, so you can find fuel-efficient pickup trucks with rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive for off-road enthusiasts. There’s no shortage of configurations, with crew cabs, double cabs, extended cabs, and multiple bed lengths offered. Whether you want an affordable midsize pickup truck or a full-size pickup, you can find one with better fuel economy than you might expect from the truck segment.

One reason pickup trucks are more fuel-efficient is new technology that reduces fuel consumption and improves efficiency without sacrificing performance. These new technologies include cylinder deactivation, turbocharging, and smaller engine options that don’t sacrifice horsepower, including four-cylinder engines and V6 engines. These engines often feature fuel-saving names, like EcoBoost or EcoDiesel. There are also a number of refined transmission choices, including multiple models offering a 10-speed automatic transmission to help deliver higher fuel efficiency. Thanks to these technologies, a fuel-efficient powertrain doesn’t mean a pickup truck can’t still provide a high payload rating and impressive towing capacity.
There are three fuel economy numbers for every vehicle. These include city, highway, and combined mpg. Our mpg rankings use the EPA combined ratings for the 2022 model year because that’s a good indicator of real-world fuel economy. If you drive in the city, your fuel economy may come in lower. If you drive on the highway, your fuel economy may improve. If you have a payload or are towing, your fuel efficiency will likely fall short of EPA mpg ratings. Remember that EPA numbers are estimates. Your actual mpg will vary.
Pricing is included for both new pickup trucks and three-year-old used pickup trucks, when available. Note that some models are too new to have that data. The three midsize pickup trucks with the best mpg – the Ford Maverick, Jeep Gladiator, and Hyundai Santa Cruz – were all introduced within the last three model years
The pickup trucks on our list include midsize trucks like the Honda Ridgeline and full-size pickup trucks like the Chevy Silverado. The most fuel-efficient midsize trucks include the Ford Maverick, which has a standard hybrid powertrain. It’s followed by the Jeep Gladiator which combines the versatility of a pickup truck to carry a payload and tow with the capability of four-wheel drive for off-road adventures. As for full-size pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 tie at the top of our list with the Ram 1500 coming in third and the Ford F-150 sitting in fifth. All offer multiple configurations, several engine options, off-road capability, and high payload and towing capacities.

Redding council to vote on ending local emergency brought by COVID-19 pandemic
As cases of COVID-19 continue to decline, the Redding City Council will vote Tuesday on whether to terminate the city's local emergency associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The council would have to approve the proposal by a four-fifths vote.
The issue comes before the council nearly two years to the day after the council's March 17, 2020, approval of a resolution declaring a state of emergency related to COVID-19.
And, on March 19, 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Since then, City Manager Barry Tippin has been director of emergency services, coordinating planning, preparedness and response efforts regarding the disease. The council has voted monthly on continuing the emergency.
As of Friday, there have been 559 COVID-19 deaths reported in Shasta County since March 2020. Hospitals throughout the state have seen significant drops recently in COVID-19 patient numbers.
Police signing bonus rises; road report
The council will also take up the issue of whether to give a four-fold increase to a signing bonus for lateral police officers, from $10,000 to $40,000, for the next 18 months.
According to the staff report, $20,000 would be paid upon the officer's appointment to the position, $10,000 paid upon successful completion of field training and $10,000 paid after the completion of a one-year probation.
Pay raises:Redding approves police raises worth $2.1 million and sending more pandemic aid
Extending this program past 18 months will require the council’s approval.
A previous award of 80 hours of vacation at the completion of probation will remain.
As the city struggles to hire more police officers, the council boosted recruitment incentives in July. At that time, the council increased police officer signing bonuses to $10,000 from $7,500 — a 33% boost — plus gave an additional 80 hours of vacation leave once the officer completes probation.
Hiring bonuses get the OK:Redding rejects mandatory water conservation, approves police hiring bonuses
Whether to authorize the police department to rent billboard space advertising its jobs in the Bay Area will also be discussed. The council will be asked to approve rent of $6,500 a month on billboard space in the Bay Area.
Redding roads in need of repair
The council will also hear a report about what many local drivers already know — most of Redding's roads need repair.
According to the staff report, "the condition of the system is deteriorating and additional resources are needed to maintain acceptable pavement conditions."
Redding's "pavement condition index" (PCI) rating is now estimated to be at 43, lower than the statewide average of 65 for all California cities in California and the industry standard rating of 80, the staff report said.
Only 38% of the city’s streets are considered in the “good” or better condition category, much lower than the statewide average of 65.
The current cost of deferred street maintenance is above $44 million and rising, said the report, with "significant" additional resources needed to make upgrades.

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 10props, an Ethereum-based NFT marketplace, announces a new technology, which according to the company will stem the rampant tide of theft and plagiarism threatening the entire nascent market.
10props offer what they call "double-protection" NFT's. The first layer of protection is a market standard – the non-fungible token itself. The novel technology is the second layer of protection that 10props hope will be eventually adapted by the entire NFT market as an added security against a wide spreading wave of scams.
"We must stop thinking about buying and selling NFT as merely a transaction with a token. Let's face it, every NFT transaction includes two digital assets, not one. Yes, there is a token packed in a smart contract and wonderfully protected in blockchain. But there is also a digital file that smart contract is pointing to, and the truth is simple: it's not protected at all. Anyone can copy-paste it, steal it, mint an NFT from it, and sell it again. The token itself is such a new thing for most of us that we somehow disregard the importance of the second asset, the digital file itself, which is in fact an inseparable part of the commodity that people pay lots of money for," says Robert Nguyen, 10props founder and CEO.
Every artist uploading a digital image to 10props certifies that the file is "unique," i.e. not available elsewhere on Internet. Moreover, the seller also confirms to the company that the image itself, as well as all its source files and derivatives had been deleted from the artist's devices prior to uploading. The company is using a dedicated crawler to parse the web for duplicates, and in case a leak is identified the artwork is removed from the auction qualifying round. The seller of a compromised image receives a warning, which is followed by a lifetime ban should the situation repeat itself.
"We call it "verifiable honesty." There are honest artists who will not try and sell the images twice, even if they had risked keeping them. But there will be attempts to cheat the system, such is human nature. The new rules will settle, but it will take time," says Robert Nguyen. All digital artworks sold at the 10props auctions are discreetly modified with the use of a sophisticated technology provided by a French expert IMATAG, making them undetectably different from the files uploaded by the sellers. The resulting "digital originals" will be either stored on the decentralized storages or kept privately as exclusive rarities by those buyers who wish to be the sole proprietors of a unique authentic file. Depending on buyer's choice an ERC-721 standard smart contract will point to either a decentralized storage location, or the personal gallery protected by a buyer's own password.
By securing the artwork file with an invisible watermark provided under a special arrangement with IMATAG, 10props gives the NFT buyers a choice: either make the digital image to which the smart contract is pointing to available to and freely downloadable by anyone – which is the market status quo at the moment – or keep it in a buyer's own "vault" thus assigning scarcity and uniqueness to the file which cannot be copy-pasted by anyone in the public domain.
10props is an Ethereum based marketplace of double-protection NFT's built on a new approach to traditional art auction practices. 10props.com is owned and operated by 10props, Inc.
IMATAG.com is a B2B platform providing visual content protection services, based on a patented invisible watermark technology and dedicated crawlers parsing the web for duplicates.

Aker Offshore Wind and Mainstream Renewable Power Close Transaction for Offshore Wind Development in Japan
OSLO, Norway, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With reference to the stock exchange notice on 12 August 2021, Aker Offshore Wind and Mainstream Renewable Power ("Mainstream") have closed the transaction which will see them take an initial 50 percent ownership stake in Progression Energy's 800 MW floating offshore wind project in Japan. The project is a well-formed early-stage development opportunity, and the site has been identified as ideal for floating wind.
With the successful closing of the transaction, the parties will now collectively continue to mature the project. As a consortium, the three companies bring together highly complementary capabilities and experience. Aker Offshore Wind, as a part of the Aker group of companies, is able to leverage decades of offshore and floating expertise, whilst Mainstream brings a global leadership position in offshore wind development. Progression Energy has a successful track record in recognizing markets with strong fundamentals early and positioning itself for success. Progression Energy has a team established in Japan with experience in engaging stakeholders such as fishing unions and securing permits for its multiple projects.
"We are pleased to join the floating wind ambition in Japan. As an early pioneer in floating wind power, Japan is now positioned to benefit from our access to Principle Power's field-proven WindFloat® floating offshore technology and our ability to accelerate its deployment at scale with the local partners through industrialization," said Philippe Kavafyan, Chief Executive Officer of Aker Offshore Wind.
"We are delighted to partner with Aker Offshore Wind and Progression Energy to expand our growing offshore wind footprint in the APAC region, where we believe we will significantly contribute to the growth of the emerging Japanese offshore wind sector. This will support the wider decarbonization of the economy and positively contribute to the country accelerating its net zero ambitions," said Mary Quaney, Chief Executive Officer of Mainstream.
"In 2015, Progression Energy recognized that floating offshore wind would become a major segment of the offshore wind industry. Since that time, Progression Energy has originated floating projects in four markets globally. Japan has set a goal of zero emissions by 2050 with a strong focus on offshore wind. We are excited to bring Aker Offshore Wind and Mainstream Renewable Power on board and believe the three companies, working in partnership, bring a unique set of strengths that will be vital in helping us advance our project to FID," said Chris Swartley, Chief Executive Officer of Progression Energy.
Japan aims to expand offshore wind energy capacity to 10 GW by 2030 and 30-45 GW by 2040, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). Project areas for offshore floating wind will be put to auction for interested companies to submit their proposals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in halted production and plunging sales and has forced the key players in the global automotive field to rethink their strategies. Rescheduling the launch of models and projects, stabilizing dealer networks, managing cash carefully, and reviewing investment portfolios have affected the production and sales of passenger and commercial vehicles across the globe, which has resulted in a dip in the Automotive Interior Market in 2020 and in 2021. The development and implementation of safety features are expected to slow down as well.
HUD segment, by component, is estimated to be the fastest-growing Automotive Interior Market during the forecast period.
The head-up display (HUD) is a device that displays information about the vehicle and the external environment in the driver's field of view. It reduces driver distraction and helps the driver to concentrate on the road. The HUD has become a key advanced driver assistance system. The increasing demand for comfort and safety functions has encouraged auto manufacturers to invest in advanced in-vehicle safety functions. The increasing demand for safety functions is encouraging vehicle manufacturers to develop features for mid-segment and economy segment vehicles too. The HUD market growth can be attributed to the high luxury vehicle production capabilities coupled with high demand for luxury and convenience features.
Passenger car segment, by vehicle type, is estimated to be the largest segment during the forecast period.
Due to increasing customer preference for convenience, premium features, and advanced safety, the passenger car segment is projected to have the largest share of the Automotive Interior Market during the forecast period. Passenger vehicles require high-quality interiors as compared to LCVs and HCVs due to end-user demand. The amount of money spent on quality, comfort, and styling of automotive interiors is much higher in the case of personal use than commercial use. Also, the increased disposable income in developing countries is driving the growth of the Automotive Interior Market for passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles are the most focused segment for automotive interior manufacturers. The technologies used in this type of vehicle are frequently changing due to the high demand from consumers for luxury and convenience features. Also, government regulations for emissions and safety for passenger vehicles are frequently changing. The manufacturers must reduce the weight of passenger vehicles and offer comfort and safety at a lower price. Due to the increasing demand for autonomous and electric vehicles, the electronic content is frequently increasing in passenger vehicle interiors, which, in turn, is driving the growth of the passenger car interior market.

Bloom Raises $1.1M in Seed Round Funding to Bring Generative AI to eCommerce
Bloom boosts merchants' conversion rates with technology that tracks consumers' on-site interactions and delivers the most desirable product photos, causing shoppers to stay on the page longer and buy
NEW YORK, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Product photo performance engine Bloom has announced that it has raised $1.1 million at the close of its seed funding round. The AI-driven platform has garnered backing from various high-powered venture firms and angel investors, bringing Bloom one step closer to bringing generative AI to eCommerce.
Founded by Aarlo Stone Fish, a Yale alumnus with 20 years of experience as a software engineer and an AI expert, and Sam Dundas, a lifelong entrepreneur and product builder, Bloom uses generative AI to improve customers' online shopping experiences and drive more sales. Bloom's technology tracks a consumer's on-site behaviors such as clicks, zooms, swipes, and bounces and then compiles that behavioral data to deliver pixel-by-pixel the most compelling and personalized images possible. The result is that consumers spend more time on the page and eventually purchase. eCommerce sites integrating Bloom have seen a boost in their conversion rates ranging between 5-14% without the merchant lifting a finger.
"We're building the engine to power billions of shopper sessions with 100% personalized content," said Dundas. "Bloom is positioned to become an essential layer to the e-commerce tech stack."
Bloom's seed funding round was backed by prominent investors who have supported a wide range of startups, including those in the AI sector. Investors in the seed round include Inovia Capital; AIX Ventures, featuring Investing Partners Richard Socher (founder of MetaMind), Pieter Abbeel (co-founder of Covariant), Chris Manning (director of Stanford AI Lab), and Anthony Goldbloom (founder of Kaggle); Forum Ventures, which also invested in Bloom during its pre-seed accelerators; OneValley Investments; and The Y Startup Index, co-founded by Sean Glass, a prolific angel investor and serial entrepreneur.
With eCommerce accounting for $4.93 trillion worldwide and expected to grow to $7.39 trillion by 2025 and mobile commerce purchases accounting for 72.9% of all online purchases, Bloom helps its partners get more of these sales with its mobile-optimized product photo engine. By integrating Bloom into their sites, merchants, especially those with $1+ million in sales, can enhance the online shopping experience with a done-for-you AI-driven solution that closes more sales without investing additional precious time or human resources into the process.
"Showing the same product photos to every shopper is medieval," said Shaun Johnson, founding partner at AIX Ventures and seed round investor. "A shopper should see a photo that is generated to meet their specific needs, including the model type and environment. Bloom is this dynamic photo solution that is taking e-commerce photos into the future."
Bloom initially came to market with a generative AI product capable of creating photo-realistic fashion models, indistinguishable from real-life people. After launching Bloom's beta version and collecting feedback from 200 eCommerce merchants, Stone Fish and Dundas discovered that brands don't understand how their existing assets perform. Wanting to find a solution to this problem that delivered a clear ROI, Bloom was born. The seed funding will enable the Bloom team to bring its solutions to more merchants and continue to expand its capabilities, eventually achieving its ultimate vision of linking its performance engine with generative AI in real-time.
Bloom is currently available on Shopify, accessible to the over two million eCommerce merchants on the platform.

CHINA Season 2: A Retrospective of International Friends in Chinese History, Unfolding Chinese Stories in a Historical and Cultural Documentary
CHANGSHA, China, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Major historical and humanities documentary - CHINA - by Mango TV and Hunan TV, is wrapping up its second season on March 15. This season unfolded numerous Chinese stories, including journeys of well-known international friends who have contributed to cultural exchanges between China and their home countries.
Renowned historical foreigners featured in the documentary include Italian Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci who visited China in the late Ming dynasty, Flemish missionary Ferdinand Verbiest who arrived in China during Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing dynasty, and Halliday Macartney, a military surgeon and later a diplomat who came to China during Emperor Qianlong's reign also in the Qing dynasty.

The documentary elaborates the cultural context through a global vision to create a Chinese prologue that's parallel to world history - Matteo Ricci, the Italian missionary, bridged the cultural gap between China and the West after he learned the Chinese language and culture; the seven voyages of Zheng He to the West were brave explorations of the world by a Chinese adventurer; Xu Guangqi, who translated Euclid's The Elements of Geometry with Ricci, introduced the natural science system to China that more closely connected China with the world.
Since ancient times, cultural exchange between China and the world was frequently promoted and in dealing with different civilizations, China has always emphasized studying, digesting, integrating and innovating, reflecting China's passionate, friendly and peace-loving attitude. History shows that only through communication and mutual learning can a civilization be full of life and vitality. This documentary was produced with the principle of openness and inclusiveness of different cultures and hopes to tell historical stories and showcase Chinese culture through innovative storytelling techniques and an emotional touch.
About CHINA Season 2 Documentary
The historical documentary CHINA Season 2 explores China's legacy across the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, showcasing Eastern aesthetics with the latest cinematic technology.

RNA, cell & gene therapies, artificial intelligence, CRISPR and oncology related deals dominate the landscape
Biotech companies in U.S. awarded largest sums of capital, followed by Mainland China and UK
LONDON, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today announced the release of a new report, Biopharma deals in review: Review of an extraordinary 2021 and expectations for the future Biopharma Deals, which highlights emerging market trends and features detailed analysis of the key deals of 2021 and potential implications for 2022. This year's report finds RNA, cell & gene therapies, AI, CRISPR and oncology related deals dominated the landscape in 2021. In addition, U.S. biotech companies raised the majority of capital followed by Mainland China and the UK.
While the volume of biotech investments has lessened, 2021 was yet another extraordinary year for biopharma deal-making. Trends driving licensing, collaborations and joint ventures included: a maturation of deals toward co-development and co-commercialization, the increasingly global nature of deal-making, continued energy around oncology therapeutics and pharma companies seeking footholds within the enabling technologies underpinning next-generation treatments.
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves to become endemic, life science industries will continue to assess the changing drug development landscape. Emerging trends suggest innovators and investors will drive the next great advances in human health. This year's Biopharma Deals report findings, include:
- Investments continue record-breaking trends, while M&As track downward - Continuing the record-setting pace in the first half of 2021,1 a new record was set for global biopharma licensing, collaborations and joint venture deals in all of 2021. A record 1,968 deals were announced in 2021, and the total value of these ventures for which financial details were disclosed was $213.6 billion, up from $198.2 billion in 2020.2 Overall, 2021 had the highest total financing and deals value over the past five years. This was driven by a number of high-value transactions; 72 deals were worth at least $1 billion for a combined value of $136.5 billion, reaching a new height. This compares with 58 such deals worth $118.0 billion in 2020, 40 such deals valued at $92.5 billion in 2019 and 31 such deals worth $63.6 billion in 2018.3
- Top deals are increasing - Several of the top deals in 2021 involved co-development and/or co-commercialization of assets. Well-financed biotech companies are becoming less interested in capital investments and more interested in deals that grant them the ability to retain commercialization rights and integrate their assets across the development lifecycle.
- Biotech companies in the United States awarded largest sums of capital - A deep dive into BioWorld data showed that, in 2021, biotech companies based in the United States raised the majority from private and venture sources — accounting for 67% of all monies raised worldwide. Massachusetts-based companies accounted for 30% of all VC financing. Companies from the San Francisco Bay area collected 13% of the global total, just ahead of Mainland China-based biotechs, which had a 12% share of the global take. Biotech companies based in the United Kingdom attracted a 9% share of the total, nudging just ahead of the San Diego cluster (8%). In addition, partnerships established by companies in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region indicate there is growing interest in accessing global markets, potentially with the goal of maximizing the returns on investment beyond what can be achieved in their local markets. These partnerships primarily focus on gene, RNA and oncology therapies, in keeping with the themes observed across all deal-making in 2021.
- RNA technology gains traction with investors - The COVID-19 pandemic has propelled adoption of RNA-based vaccines and therapies, helping to pave the way for others to enter the market. Both established and start-up companies are investing money into determining where mRNA, self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA) and RNA interference (RNAi) will have the greatest benefit.
- Investments in CRISPR are likely to benefit rare diseases - CRISPR techniques also have the potential to transform therapeutic approaches for diseases with very few treatment options. As a result, CRISPR has emerged as a hot platform in the past decade, with a number of biotech companies developing therapeutic approaches using the technology.
- Oncology-related deals and M&As dominate the landscape - Oncology-focused deals accounted for a large proportion of global biopharma licensing, collaborations and joint venture transactions (29% of all deals) in 2021. Of these, 25 were valued at more than $1 billion, and nine reached at least the $2 billion mark.4
Mike Ward, Global Head of Life Sciences and Healthcare Thought Leadership, Clarivate: "The desire to develop innovative medicines that will deliver better and more robust health outcomes for patients will continue to be a key driver for biopharma deal-making activity. While pharma companies will still look to acquire potential blockbuster treatments to replace existing products that are losing patent protection, others are urgently seeking inroads to the enabling technologies being developed by biotechs, such as gene and cell therapies, genome-editing, antibody-drug conjugates, RNA technologies and AI/ML applications, which are expected to underpin the next generation of transformative blockbusters."

CLASS ACTION ALERT: The Law Offices of Vincent Wong Remind Affirm Holdings, Inc. Investors of a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of April 29, 2022
NEW YORK, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Attention Affirm Holdings, Inc. ("Affirm Holdings, Inc.") (NASDAQ: AFRM) shareholders:
The Law Offices of Vincent Wong announce that a class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of investors. This lawsuit is on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Affirm Holdings, Inc. securities on February 10, 2022 after the Company sent a Tweet concerning its Second Quarter 2022 financial results at approximately 1:15 p.m. EST.
If you suffered a loss on your investment in Affirm Holdings, Inc., contact us about potential recovery by using the link below. There is no cost or obligation to you.
https://www.wongesq.com/pslra-1/affirm-holdings-inc-loss-submission-form?prid=24599&wire=4
ABOUT THE ACTION: According to the filed complaint, on February 10, 2022 at approximately 1:15 p.m., Affirm issued a Tweet from its official account in which the Company disclosed certain metrics from its second quarter 2022 financial results. The Tweet, which was published prior to the Company's planned release of its financial results, portrayed a highly successful quarter, which included an increase in revenue of 77%. This caused Affirm's share price to spike nearly 10% in intra-day trading. The Tweet was materially misleading, in that it omitted to disclose the full details of Affirm's second quarter financial results. Affirm deleted the Tweet and released its full second quarter financial results ahead of schedule. The full financial results were lackluster – with the Company posting a loss of $0.57 per share, compared with analyst expectations of $0.37 per share.
DEADLINE: April 29, 2022
Aggrieved Affirm Holdings, Inc. investors only have until April 29, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. You are not required to act as a lead plaintiff in order to share in any recovery.
