BERLIN, April 5 (Reuters) - German consumers must prepare for drastic electricity and gas price increases if the European Union cuts off Russian gas, E.ON Germany's chief executive said on Tuesday, adding prices were already rising rapidly even without such a move.
Speaking to German news organisation RND, Filip Thon warned that the energy firm was already seeing wholesale retail prices 20 times higher and electricity prices eight times higher this spring than a year ago.
How much further prices would rise in the event of a ban on gas from Russia depended on the extent to which Germany increases its reserves, currently at around 25 to 27 percent of capacity, ahead of the next cold season, Thon said.
"The situation is very tense, even without a stop in deliveries," Thon told RND, adding that the end of Russian gas imports would have "drastic consequences for the German economy."
The CEO called for the state to provide more financial support to private households to soften the blow, such as by lowering taxes on energy bills.
After years of prospering from Russian energy imports, Germany is convulsed by a debate over how to unwind a business relationship that critics say is financing Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia supplies 40% of Europe's gas needs.
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner on Monday rejected an EU embargo on Russian gas imports as mounting civilian deaths in Ukraine increase pressure on the bloc to impose sanctions on Russia's energy sector.

https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Column-A-gorgeous-day-and-a-beautiful-sighting-17057216.php | AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The buzz built quickly as Tiger Woods finished chipping a bag of balls, gave Bubba Watson a fist bump, and headed to the practice tee to hit a handful of easy drives. A few minutes later he emerged from the clubhouse lawn to rapturous applause as thousands of fans crowded around with phones held high trying desperately to get a glimpse of golf history unfolding in front of them.
On a gorgeous day at Augusta National, the most beautiful sight of all might have been seeing Woods standing on the first tee once again with a driver in his hand.
It certainly was to a group of four female University of Virginia golfers who found their way near enough to the tee to get a selfie of sorts with Woods in the distance behind them. They let out a squeal and fans crowded 30 deep around the tee and all the way down the first fairway screamed in delight.
Meanwhile, defending Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama walked by the first tee almost unnoticed. This was Tiger’s day just like this is Tiger’s tournament, and if anyone thought differently they must have been in the merchandise shop buying souvenirs instead.
Yes, it was just Monday. But, aside from the blue shirt Woods was wearing, it sure felt like a Sunday afternoon.
He may be No. 973 in the world but Woods is always No. 1 at Augusta National, where he won his first major 25 years ago and has won four more green jackets since — including an improbable 2019 triumph that only Woods himself could top.
That one was magical. Just teeing off in this one borders on unbelievable.
Still, the questions continue. The slight limp that Woods walked with up the steep hill on the first hole prompted even more.
Will he be there again for an opening tee shot in the Masters on Thursday? Will the latest comeback for the greatest player of his time be the greatest comeback of his career as he continues to mend from a car crash that almost took one of his legs and very well could have cost him his life?
No one outside Woods’ inner circle is letting on. But the odds are looking better every day.
Woods himself called it a “game-time decision” in a weekend tweet that hinted more of “yes” than it did “no.” He played the back nine on Sunday, then came back Monday afternoon for the front nine when fans were allowed onto the course for the first time.
Walking four days straight on a course that’s difficult enough to walk for players with two good legs might be a stretch. But anyone who remembers how Woods won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in 2008 on a bad leg knows enough not to count him out.
And his fellow pros believe he’ll at least give it a try.
“I’d be surprised if it was anyone else that’s ever lived,” Max Homa said Monday. “So, no, I’m not surprised. I am amazed. It is a true testament to his work ethic because we all know what he does on the golf course, how hard he works, and the stories and the legend. “
“It’s a major championship. It’s Augusta,” Brooks Koepka added. “Doesn’t matter how much pain you’re in, you figure out a way. He’ll figure out a way. If anybody can do it, he can.”
That it’s been just a little over 13 months since Woods crashed his SUV in California until he returned to the Masters is, indeed, remarkable. But Woods is a notorious hard worker and this isn’t the first comeback in a career that has been derailed at different times by various injuries and marital issues.
The odds are stacked against him — he’s 80-1 in Las Vegas to win — but the odds on him just getting to this point would have been astronomical after he shattered his leg.
Woods said a few months ago that his shattered right leg looks differently than his left. But the most important thing right now is how his game looks and watching Woods practice before his nine holes on Monday it looked suspiciously like the Woods of old.
Still, the unknowns loom, both for Woods or anyone who is thinking of trying to make some long money with his long odds.
Will he tee off on Thursday? If he does, can he make the cut? Will his leg stand up to four days of walking a golf course that is a lot hillier than it looks on television?
All good questions, though the biggest one has been settled already.
“He’s here, right?” Bryson DeChambeau said. “I guess it’s already a return.”

(AP) — The buzz built quickly as Tiger Woods finished chipping a bag of balls, gave Bubba Watson a fist bump, and headed to the practice tee to hit a handful of easy drives. A few minutes later he emerged from the clubhouse lawn to rapturous applause as thousands of fans crowded around with phones held high trying desperately to get a glimpse of golf history unfolding in front of them.
On a gorgeous day at Augusta National, the most beautiful sight of all might have been seeing Woods standing on the first tee once again with a driver in his hand.
It certainly was to a group of four female University of Virginia golfers who found their way near enough to the tee to get a selfie of sorts with Woods in the distance behind them. They let out a squeal and fans crowded 30 deep around the tee and all the way down the first fairway screamed in delight.
Meanwhile, defending Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama walked by the first tee almost unnoticed. This was Tiger’s day just like this is Tiger’s tournament, and if anyone thought differently they must have been in the merchandise shop buying souvenirs instead.
Yes, it was just Monday. But, aside from the blue shirt Woods was wearing, it sure felt like a Sunday afternoon.
He may be No. 973 in the world but Woods is always No. 1 at Augusta National, where he won his first major 25 years ago and has won four more green jackets since — including an improbable 2019 triumph that only Woods himself could top.
That one was magical. Just teeing off in this one borders on unbelievable.
Still, the questions continue. The slight limp that Woods walked with up the steep hill on the first hole prompted even more.
Will he be there again for an opening tee shot in the Masters on Thursday? Will the latest comeback for the greatest player of his time be the greatest comeback of his career as he continues to mend from a car crash that almost took one of his legs and very well could have cost him his life?
No one outside Woods’ inner circle is letting on. But the odds are looking better every day.
Woods himself called it a “game-time decision” in a weekend tweet that hinted more of “yes” than it did “no.” He played the back nine on Sunday, then came back Monday afternoon for the front nine when fans were allowed onto the course for the first time.
Walking four days straight on a course that’s difficult enough to walk for players with two good legs might be a stretch. But anyone who remembers how Woods won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in 2008 on a bad leg knows enough not to count him out.
And his fellow pros believe he’ll at least give it a try.
“I’d be surprised if it was anyone else that’s ever lived,” Max Homa said Monday. “So, no, I’m not surprised. I am amazed. It is a true testament to his work ethic because we all know what he does on the golf course, how hard he works, and the stories and the legend. “
“It’s a major championship. It’s Augusta,” Brooks Koepka added. “Doesn’t matter how much pain you’re in, you figure out a way. He’ll figure out a way. If anybody can do it, he can.”
That it’s been just a little over 13 months since Woods crashed his SUV in California until he returned to the Masters is, indeed, remarkable. But Woods is a notorious hard worker and this isn’t the first comeback in a career that has been derailed at different times by various injuries and marital issues.
The odds are stacked against him — he’s 80-1 in Las Vegas to win — but the odds on him just getting to this point would have been astronomical after he shattered his leg.
Woods said a few months ago that his shattered right leg looks differently than his left. But the most important thing right now is how his game looks and watching Woods practice before his nine holes on Monday it looked suspiciously like the Woods of old.
Still, the unknowns loom, both for Woods or anyone who is thinking of trying to make some long money with his long odds.
Will he tee off on Thursday? If he does, can he make the cut? Will his leg stand up to four days of walking a golf course that is a lot hillier than it looks on television?
All good questions, though the biggest one has been settled already.
“He’s here, right?” Bryson DeChambeau said. “I guess it’s already a return.”

WASHINGTON, April 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson moved a step closer to being confirmed as a justice on Monday when the Senate voted to break a Judiciary Committee deadlock over her nomination and send it to the full Senate for consideration.
The Senate voted 53-47 to discharge President Joe Biden's nominee to the Senate floor for a confirmation vote by all 100 senators. She would be the first Black woman to serve on the nation's high court and could be confirmed by the end of this week, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

The Senate had to vote to break a judiciary committee deadlocked on a party-line vote, sending it to the full Senate for consideration.
Earlier on Monday the committee voted 11-11 on Jackson’s nomination, with all Democrats on the panel voting in favor, with all the Republicans voting against. The tie forced Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to hold another vote to push Jackson’s nomination forward, by filing what’s called a motion to discharge the committee.
The motion to discharge the committee breaks the Judiciary Committee deadlock by moving the nomination forward and sends it to the full Senate for consideration.
The Senate voted 53-47 to discharge President Biden’s nominee to the Senate floor for the vote of all 100 Senators on Monday evening. Republican Senators Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Mitt Romney (UT) all voted for Jackson. Both Collins and Murkowski supported Jackson’s confirmation last year to her current seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
She would be the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s high court and could be confirmed by the end of this week, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Her confirmation will not change the court’s current 6-3 conservative majority. |

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate Judiciary Committee has deadlocked on whether to send Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination to the Senate floor.
But President Joe Biden’s nominee is still on track to be confirmed this week as the first Black woman on the high court.
The committee’s tie vote Monday was expected.
But it was still a blow to Democrats who had hoped for a bipartisan process and the first time the committee has deadlocked on a Supreme Court nomination in three decades.
Democrats are aiming to confirm her by the end of the week as the first Black woman on the court. |
https://www.mrt.com/news/article/McDonald-s-workers-reach-settlement-deal-over-17057183.php | Former McDonald’s workers who alleged rampant sexual harassment at their Michigan restaurant have reached a $1.5 million settlement agreement with the restaurant’s former owner.
The American Civil Liberties Union’s Women's Rights Project, which helped represent the employees, announced the settlement deal Monday. It must still be approved by a federal judge.
Former McDonald’s worker Jenna Ries sued the Michigan-based franchisee, which operated under the names MLMLM Corp. and Maaks Inc., and Chicago-based McDonald’s Corp. in 2019.
Ries, who worked at a Mason, Michigan, McDonald’s for three years, alleged that a general manager ignored her male co-worker’s repeated harassment of her and other female workers, including groping, physical assault and verbal epithets.
Ries said she often cried on her way to work and felt physically ill. Eventually she transferred to another location, but the co-worker who allegedly harassed her remained at the original location.
Ries said she sued so that other women wouldn't have to go through what she endured.
“No one should have to put up with sexual harassment to get a paycheck,” Ries said in a statement.
Last year, a federal judge granted class-action status to the lawsuit, based on evidence showing that the same male worker consistently and severely harassed approximately 100 women and teen girls who worked at the store. If the settlement is approved, workers will be eligible to claim an average award of $10,000 depending on the extent of the harassment they endured.
Ries initially sought at least $5 million in damages for herself and other female employees. But McDonald’s Corp. successfully argued that it didn’t employ the women directly. Around 95% of McDonald’s 14,000 U.S. stores are owned and operated by franchisees.
Attorneys for Ries said they had hoped McDonald's would accept more responsibility.
“It is unconscionable that McDonald’s continues to say ‘not it’ when it comes to sexual harassment of workers at its franchise locations,” said Darcie Brault, an attorney for Ries and other plaintiffs.
Email and phone messages seeking comment were left with attorneys for the franchisee, who no longer owns the Mason, Michigan, restaurant.
McDonald’s said it had no comment on the proposed settlement.
The lawsuit came amid a larger reckoning for McDonald’s over sexual harassment in its stores and corporate offices.
Since 2016, at least 100 formal complaints and lawsuits have been filed alleging workplace harassment in McDonald's restaurants, the ACLU said. In 2019, the company also fired its former CEO Steve Easterbrook for violating a policy forbidding relationships between supervisors and their subordinates.
Last April, the company announced that it would mandate worker training and reporting procedures to combat harassment, discrimination and violence in its restaurants worldwide starting this year. | 0 | 1,062 | 0 | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/McDonald-s-workers-reach-settlement-deal-over-17057183.php | 2022-04-04 22:20:56+00:00 | Former McDonald’s workers who alleged rampant sexual harassment at their Michigan restaurant have reached a $1.5 million settlement agreement with the restaurant’s former owner.

https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Prosecutor-Con-man-plied-daughter-s-friends-for-17057255.php | NEW YORK (AP) — A man who bragged about ruining the career of an ex-New York City police commissioner who once seemed destined for a national post was a con man who coerced his daughter’s college friends into obeying his commands and supplying him with millions of dollars, a prosecutor told a jury Monday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Bracewell urged Manhattan federal court jurors during a closing argument to convict Lawrence Ray of charges including racketeering, conspiracy, forced labor, sex trafficking and obstruction of justice.
“Bring Lawrence Ray to justice,” she said as the defendant scribbled notes while lawyers summarized a month of evidence.
Ray’s lawyer, Marne Lenox, countered that Ray was a victim of the young people he lived with who made him feel paranoid and under attack.
“Everyone was out to get him, Larry believed,” Lenox said, portraying his daughter's friends as “storytellers” who he believed had intentionally poisoned him.
Closings were to continue Tuesday in an unusual trial t hat featured testimony from several of the men and women who lived with Ray for much of the last decade before his arrest in early 2020 disrupted what Bracewell characterized as the operations of a crime syndicate she labeled the “Ray Family."
The trial was twice interrupted so Ray, 62, could be taken to the hospital for treatment of medical issues that Judge Lewis J. Liman assured jurors was unrelated to the coronavirus.
In her closing, Lenox said Ray in the fall of 2010 impressed friends of his daughter at her on-campus dormitory at Sarah Lawrence College with his claims that he'd spoiled the rise of former New York City police Commissioner Bernard Kerik after serving as best man at his wedding.
She said he told them that people including Kerik were out to get him.
Kerik was the city's police commissioner from 2000 to 2001, serving during the 9/11 attacks, and he nearly became President George Bush’s homeland security secretary in 2004, but his name was abruptly withdrawn as the nominee.
Shortly afterward, the Daily News reported that Ray, who was under indictment in a stock scam, had produced evidence that Kerik failed to report thousands of dollars in gifts he’d received while working for the city. Kerik eventually served nearly four years in prison for tax fraud and other crimes.
Bracewell said Ray initially won respect from the students with his stories of influence as he moved into his daughter's dormitory, but he quickly turned their trust against them by convincing them that they had poisoned him and owed him millions of dollars in compensation.
Then, she said, he used violence and threats and terrified them into following his commands.
“Every single one of his actions was designed ... to keep control over them,” Bracewell said, urging jurors to reject defense claims that Ray acted as he did because he believed they had poisoned him and he wanted to build a criminal case.
“Why on earth would you share meals with your supposed poisoners?” she asked.
The prosecutor cited the testimony of one woman who said she paid Ray $2.5 million from her proceeds as a prostitute, an endeavor she said he steered her into after she became convinced she had poisoned him.
Bracewell also directed jurors to recall the testimony of a student who was about to begin work as a doctor when she became romantically involved with Ray, leaving her sidetracked for the next decade.
The prosecutor said Ray was able to carry out his crimes with help from his daughter and Isabella Pollok, a woman who has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges. Her trial is set for later this year. | 0 | 3,338 | 0 | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Prosecutor-Con-man-plied-daughter-s-friends-for-17057255.php | 2022-04-04 22:29:42+00:00 | NEW YORK (AP) — A man who bragged about ruining the career of an ex-New York City police commissioner who once seemed destined for a national post was a con man who coerced his daughter’s college friends into obeying his commands and supplying him with millions of dollars, a prosecutor told a jury Monday.

In her closing, Lenox said Ray in the fall of 2010 impressed friends of his daughter at her on-campus dormitory at Sarah Lawrence College with his claims that he'd spoiled the rise of former New York City police Commissioner Bernard Kerik after serving as best man at his wedding.
She said he told them that people including Kerik were out to get him.
Kerik was the city's police commissioner from 2000 to 2001, serving during the 9/11 attacks, and he nearly became President George Bush’s homeland security secretary in 2004, but his name was abruptly withdrawn as the nominee.
Shortly afterward, the Daily News reported that Ray, who was under indictment in a stock scam, had produced evidence that Kerik failed to report thousands of dollars in gifts he’d received while working for the city. Kerik eventually served nearly four years in prison for tax fraud and other crimes.
Bracewell said Ray initially won respect from the students with his stories of influence as he moved into his daughter's dormitory, but he quickly turned their trust against them by convincing them that they had poisoned him and owed him millions of dollars in compensation.
Then, she said, he used violence and threats and terrified them into following his commands.
“Every single one of his actions was designed ... to keep control over them,” Bracewell said, urging jurors to reject defense claims that Ray acted as he did because he believed they had poisoned him and he wanted to build a criminal case.
“Why on earth would you share meals with your supposed poisoners?” she asked.
The prosecutor cited the testimony of one woman who said she paid Ray $2.5 million from her proceeds as a prostitute, an endeavor she said he steered her into after she became convinced she had poisoned him.
Bracewell also directed jurors to recall the testimony of a student who was about to begin work as a doctor when she became romantically involved with Ray, leaving her sidetracked for the next decade.
The prosecutor said Ray was able to carry out his crimes with help from his daughter and Isabella Pollok, a woman who has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges. Her trial is set for later this year. |
https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Prosecutor-Con-man-plied-daughter-s-friends-for-17057255.php | NEW YORK (AP) — A man who bragged about ruining the career of an ex-New York City police commissioner who once seemed destined for a national post was a con man who coerced his daughter’s college friends into obeying his commands and supplying him with millions of dollars, a prosecutor told a jury Monday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Bracewell urged Manhattan federal court jurors during a closing argument to convict Lawrence Ray of charges including racketeering, conspiracy, forced labor, sex trafficking and obstruction of justice.
“Bring Lawrence Ray to justice,” she said as the defendant scribbled notes while lawyers summarized a month of evidence.
Ray’s lawyer, Marne Lenox, countered that Ray was a victim of the young people he lived with who made him feel paranoid and under attack.
“Everyone was out to get him, Larry believed,” Lenox said, portraying his daughter's friends as “storytellers” who he believed had intentionally poisoned him.

https://cw33.com/news/u-s-news/ap-u-s-headlines/jurors-to-weigh-conspiracy-charges-in-alleged-whitmer-plot/ | GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Jurors returned to court to ask a question Monday but offered no verdict during the first day of deliberations in the trial of four men accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker told jurors to “find a good distraction,” maybe the NCAA men’s basketball championship, and return Tuesday “ready to engage, fresh.”
Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Casertaare charged with a kidnapping conspiracy. Three men also face additional charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, namely an explosive.
The jury asked the judge for a definition of “weapon” at mid-afternoon Monday, but otherwise gave no indication of the progress of deliberations.
“Something that can be used to injure, kill or destroy someone or something,” Jonker said after consulting with prosecutors and defense lawyers. “So if that helps — I hope — great. If it doesn’t, just let us know.”
The trial has lasted 16 days, including 13 days of testimony. The jury heard hours of closing arguments and instructions Friday.
Jonker last week told jurors that the men could be convicted of conspiracy, even if a kidnapping did not occur in fall 2020.
A key factor, if the jury finds it, would be a “mutual understanding either spoken or unspoken” between two or more people in the group, the judge said.
Prosecutors said the plot was simmering for months, leavened by anti-government extremism and anger over Whitmer’s COVID-19 restrictions. With undercover FBI agents and informants embedded in the group, the men trained with a crudely built “shoot house” to replicate her vacation home, prosecutors allege.
There is no dispute that the alleged leaders, Fox and Croft, traveled to Elk Rapids, Michigan, to scout the governor’s property and a nearby bridge that same weekend in September 2020.
Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, who pleaded guiltyand testified against the four men, were on the same road trip, along with covert investigators.
Garbin said the goal was to get Whitmer before the fall election and create enough chaos to create a civil war and stop Joe Biden from winning the presidency. Much of the government’s case came from secretly recorded conversations, group messages and social media posts.
“You heard them in their own voices over and over again,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler told jurors, “talking about kidnapping her, murdering her, blowing up bridges and people and anybody who could get in their way. And it wasn’t just talk.”
The men were arrested in October 2020.
Defense lawyers, especially those representing Fox and Croft, attacked the government’s investigation and the use of a crucial informant, Dan Chappel. They claimed Chappel was the real leader, taking direction from the FBI and keeping the group on edge while recording them for months.
“Dan Chappel makes everything happen,” attorney Christopher Gibbons said in his closing remarks.
Attorney Joshua Blanchard repeatedly called the scheme “smoke and mirrors.”
“There was no plan. There was no agreement,” he said.
Croft is from Bear, Delaware, while the others are from Michigan.
Whitmer, a Democrat, rarely talks publicly about the plot, though she referred to “surprises” during her term that seemed like “something out of fiction” when she filed for reelection on March 17.
She has blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case.

White reported from Detroit. | 2 | 141,204 | 0.025317 | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/1st-day-ends-with-no-verdict-in-michigan-gov-whitmer-plot/3H64GCBNWBC75HT7RUFHODYEYQ/ | 2022-04-04 21:51:38+00:00 | GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Jurors returned to court to ask a question Monday but offered no verdict during the first day of deliberations in the trial of four men accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker told jurors to “find a good distraction,” maybe the NCAA men's basketball championship, and return Tuesday "ready to engage, fresh."
Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta are charged with a kidnapping conspiracy. Three men also face additional charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, namely an explosive.
The jury asked the judge for a definition of “weapon” at mid-afternoon Monday, but otherwise gave no indication of the progress of deliberations.
“Something that can be used to injure, kill or destroy someone or something,” Jonker said after consulting with prosecutors and defense lawyers. “So if that helps — I hope — great. If it doesn’t, just let us know.”
The trial has lasted 16 days, including 13 days of testimony. The jury heard hours of closing arguments and instructions Friday.
Jonker last week told jurors that the men could be convicted of conspiracy, even if a kidnapping did not occur in fall 2020.
A key factor, if the jury finds it, would be a “mutual understanding either spoken or unspoken” between two or more people in the group, the judge said.
Prosecutors said the plot was simmering for months, leavened by anti-government extremism and anger over Whitmer's COVID-19 restrictions. With undercover FBI agents and informants embedded in the group, the men trained with a crudely built “shoot house” to replicate her vacation home, prosecutors allege.
There is no dispute that the alleged leaders, Fox and Croft, traveled to Elk Rapids, Michigan, to scout the governor's property and a nearby bridge that same weekend in September 2020.
Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, who pleaded guilty and testified against the four men, were on the same road trip, along with covert investigators.
Garbin said the goal was to get Whitmer before the fall election and create enough chaos to create a civil war and stop Joe Biden from winning the presidency. Much of the government's case came from secretly recorded conversations, group messages and social media posts.
“You heard them in their own voices over and over again,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler told jurors, “talking about kidnapping her, murdering her, blowing up bridges and people and anybody who could get in their way. And it wasn't just talk.”
The men were arrested in October 2020.
Defense lawyers, especially those representing Fox and Croft, attacked the government's investigation and the use of a crucial informant, Dan Chappel. They claimed Chappel was the real leader, taking direction from the FBI and keeping the group on edge while recording them for months.
“Dan Chappel makes everything happen,” attorney Christopher Gibbons said in his closing remarks.
Attorney Joshua Blanchard repeatedly called the scheme "smoke and mirrors.”
“There was no plan. There was no agreement,” he said.
Croft is from Bear, Delaware, while the others are from Michigan.
Whitmer, a Democrat, rarely talks publicly about the plot, though she referred to "surprises" during her term that seemed like "something out of fiction" when she filed for reelection on March 17.

There's a fine line when it comes to staying out of your friends' relationships, but one man was put in a tough predicament after finding his pal on a dating app, even though she is engaged to be married.
Having a profile on a dating app doesn't guarantee that you are cheating, but having an active dating profile one month before your wedding isn't a good look.
The man took to Reddit explaining he stumbled across his friend's Bumble [dating app] profile. She is set to wed in May, which is only a little over a month away.
He detailed that he was told about his friend's profile by another buddy, so he went on the app to check it out.
He said he confronted the bride-to-be about her account but her reply left him puzzled.
"A close friend of mine for years is engaged to a guy who I really like and is getting married in May," he wrote on Reddit. "Yesterday, a friend of mine found her on Bumble and texted me screenshots. I sent them to her asking if there is something I should know, and she replied that they must be from when she was still single and that she probably forgot to turn it off."
There was just one problem: some of the photos were new.
"Thing is, I recognize the pictures and they're recent. My girlfriend and I are even in one of them," he continued, adding he "had spoken to her fiancé earlier that day about bachelor party plans and everything sounded like it was very much still on."
Now, the man can't help but wonder if his friend is "having second thoughts" about the wedding and is questioning if he should tell her fiancé that she appears to be active on the dating app.
"Some of our friends have joked that she can do better — she's really, really attractive and makes great money, while he's very much the blue-collar type. But he treats her like a princess, a big upgrade from the boys she's dated in the past," he explained. "I get the feeling she's having second thoughts and looking around again."
He continued, "I'm kind of conflicted on whether or not I should bring this up, and if I do, whether I should talk to her or him about it. She's a close friend and if things don't work out, it's her side that I'll take. But I've been in toxic relationships before and can't help but think I'd feel very guilty if he marries her next month without knowing she's not fully invested."
Many users took the side of the fiancé as they would want to know if they were in his situation.
"I know plenty of people might say stay out of it and I understand that to some degree, but all I can think is that if I were that guy I would hope someone would tell me that information before I got married to a person like her," one person wrote.
"Not speaking up is cowardly. You’re not ruining anything, cheater’s do by doing dumb s--t. People should just stay single if they want to be single. Such an easy concept to grasp, really. But yes, definitely say something," another commented. | 0 | 84,119 | 0 | https://popcrush.com/friend-dating-app-before-wedding-reddit/ | 2022-04-05 17:48:19+00:00 | Man Confused After Finding Best Friend on Dating App Right Before Her Wedding

https://wpst.com/no-spike-in-covid-after-mask-mandate-was-lifted-in-nj-schools/ | No spike in COVID after mask mandate was lifted in NJ schools
Two weeks into the lifting of the state's school mask mandate, and there is no indication it has led to a spike in COVID-19 cases in New Jersey.
There were concerns by some that unmasking kids in the close confines of a classroom would lead to a spike in COVID cases, but that does not appear to be the case.
According to figures released by the New Jersey Department of Health on Sunday, all 21 counties are listed as having a low community transmission rate.
Only 504 positive COVID tests were recorded by the state as of Sunday, and just 419 patients statewide were hospitalized with or because of COVID. The state did record another 2 deaths linked to the virus.
The rate of transmission is at .85 and has been slowly rising over the last few weeks. However, anything below 1.0 indicates the virus is not actively spreading.
If there is an area of concern, it's the increase in cases of the new BA.2 variant. BA.2 is actually a further mutation of the omicron strain of COVID.
CDC data shows 39% of the new cases sequenced in New Jersey are BA.2. It was first detected in the Garden State in January.
Federal health officials have predicted this subvariant will drive a surge in COVID cases in the coming weeks, but are optimistic it will not lead to a sharp increase in hospitalizations.
BA.2 has shown to be 50-60% more contagious than omicron, but causes no more severe illness.
It has been called by some international health officials the 'stealth variant,' because it was initially very hard to detect. Scientists have gotten better at detecting its unique gene sequence.
Gov. Phil Murphy said last week he is also anticipating a rise in the number of cases due to the spread of BA.2, but did not anticipate the need to return to mandatory masking or any other severe restrictions.
With Spring arriving in New Jersey, and more people moving outside and opening up doors and windows, the increased fresh air and ventilation are also likely to hinder the spread of this new variant.

(KRON) – A spike in COVID-19 infections brings back mask requirements to a North Bay school.
School leaders at Coleman Elementary in San Rafael have confirmed more than 20 cases since last week.
The return of the indoor mask mandate at Coleman Elementary comes just weeks after the mandate was lifted.
A spokesperson for San Rafael city schools says that since March 22nd six employees and 17 students have tested positive for COVID-19.
Families have been told the masks will stay on until at least April 15th.
Dr. John Swartzberg with UC Berkeley’s school of public health says COVID-19 variants including the highly transmissible BA.2 subvariant of omicron are still circulating.
“It’s not surprising to see groups of kids getting infected. We know that if children wear masks indoors in schools it’s going to reduce the transmission of the virus,” Dr. Swartzberg told KRON4.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than half of the cases in the western U.S. are BA.2.
But Dr. Swartzberg says the spike in infections at Coleman is nothing to be too concerned about just yet.
“It’s going to happen but as long as it’s sporadic like this I’m not really concerned. We’re in a very very good period right now”, he said.
In a letter to Coleman Elementary families about reinstating the mask mandate, Principal Mike Taylor said “I want to emphasize that this is not a time for alarm, but for us to implement the recommended public health strategies to respond to an uptick in cases and decrease risk of transmission.”
Students and staff were also given COVID-19 rapid tests before leaving for spring break Friday.
The district reports there have been very few COVID-19 cases since the mask mandate was lifted on March 12th.
However, a large number of students and staff are still wearing masks at schools. |

Since March 22, Coleman Elementary School in San Rafael has confirmed more than 23 total cases of the coronavirus across the school — 17 in students and 6 in employees — the district said. In response, the school informed families that it would be reinstating an indoor mask mandate through April 15.
Marin County schools aligned with state guidelines that allowed lifting indoor mask mandates on March 12, though face coverings were still strongly recommended.
“This has not been a time for alarm, but for us to implement the recommended public health strategies to respond to an uptick in cases and decrease risk of transmission,” said Christina Perrino, a spokesperson for San Rafael City Schools. “Our community has displayed patience and support as we continue to make decisions in the best interests...of our entire Coleman community.”
In the past few days, the number of new cases has also decreased significantly, said Perrino. At this point, Coleman Elementary appears to be the only school in the county to reinstate a mask mandate, but Bay Area infectious disease experts say that going forward, similar backtracks may occur across other schools, in other districts.
“This is to be expected,” said UC Berkeley infectious disease expert John Swartzberg, referring to the spike. “We still have circulating virus in our community, albeit at a much lower level than we’ve had since last year...but it’s not like there’s no virus here.”
Swartzberg and other infectious disease experts said that it’s more likely that individual schools could make choices to reinstate mask mandates versus districts, which would probably only make that decision if COVID-19 case counts started to increase rapidly both across the district and within their counties at large.
Nearly three weeks have passed since school districts in the Bay Area dropped their indoor mask mandates, and case counts are quite low. Still, it’s unclear how the arrival of the new BA.2 subvariant of Omicron — which experts say is anywhere from 30%-80% more transmissible —will play out in the Bay Area.
BA.2 now makes up roughly half of cases nationally and 60% of COVID cases in the western region, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“This is definitely a dress rehearsal for what’s going to happen once BA.2 becomes more prominent and spring break continues to fuel cases,” said UCSF infectious disease expert Peter Chin-Hong. “Again, most people are not worried about our hospital capacity, but we’re worried about disruptions in the community.”
Bay Area experts noted that while the school is returning to using one of the most powerful risk mitigation tools in our disposal — masking — it might not make much of a difference if the rest of the community isn’t masking.
“Having individual mask mandates in the schools when the rest of the community isn’t (masking) doesn’t necessarily make sense,” said Chin-Hong. “It’s porous.”
Nevertheless, this particular spike should still be looked at for what it is: one particular spike, said Swartzberg.
Perrino said the district isn’t aware of other Marin County schools that have restored the indoor masking requirement, and that the district overall has seen a very minimal, if any, number of cases.
“The county has not given us any guidance about reinstating the mask requirement for all San Rafael City Schools, nor do we anticipate doing so in the near future given our low numbers of cases at all our other schools,” Perrino added.
Mike Grant, director at the Marin County Office of Education, said that across all of the county’s schools, things seem to be going well.
“There hasn’t been an alarming increase in cases and some students and staff are continuing to wear masks,” said Grant, adding that with spring break a day away, students and staff have also been issued optional rapid tests to take upon their return.

Two weeks into the lifting of the state's school mask mandate, and there is no indication it has led to a spike in COVID-19 cases in New Jersey.
There were concerns by some that unmasking kids in the close confines of a classroom would lead to a spike in COVID cases, but that does not appear to be the case.
According to figures released by the New Jersey Department of Health on Sunday, all 21 counties are listed as having a low community transmission rate.
Only 504 positive COVID tests were recorded by the state as of Sunday, and just 419 patients statewide were hospitalized with or because of COVID. The state did record another 2 deaths linked to the virus.
The rate of transmission is at .85 and has been slowly rising over the last few weeks. However, anything below 1.0 indicates the virus is not actively spreading.
If there is an area of concern, it's the increase in cases of the new BA.2 variant. BA.2 is actually a further mutation of the omicron strain of COVID.
CDC data shows 39% of the new cases sequenced in New Jersey are BA.2. It was first detected in the Garden State in January.
Federal health officials have predicted this subvariant will drive a surge in COVID cases in the coming weeks, but are optimistic it will not lead to a sharp increase in hospitalizations.
BA.2 has shown to be 50-60% more contagious than omicron, but causes no more severe illness.
It has been called by some international health officials the 'stealth variant,' because it was initially very hard to detect. Scientists have gotten better at detecting its unique gene sequence.
Gov. Phil Murphy said last week he is also anticipating a rise in the number of cases due to the spread of BA.2, but did not anticipate the need to return to mandatory masking or any other severe restrictions.
With Spring arriving in New Jersey, and more people moving outside and opening up doors and windows, the increased fresh air and ventilation are also likely to hinder the spread of this new variant.

“Close monitoring of epidemiological trends since March 21, 2022 (the date of mask mandates removal) suggests a corresponding temporal association with a subsequent increase in confirmed COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations,” the report published Friday by Public Health Ontario (PHO) read.
The agency noted that the full impact of lifting the mandate might not be observable due to limited PCR testing and lagging hospitalization data.
Ontario is currently in the midst of its sixth pandemic wave, which PHO said is being driven by the more transmissible BA.2 Omicron sub-variant. The agency noted that evidence suggests high viral load may play a role in increased transmissibility of the sub-variant
“Confirmed case counts and the test positivity rates are increasing and currently higher than during the pandemic to date and indicative of Ontario being on the upswing of a sixth pandemic wave,” PHO said.
Earlier this week, Dr. Peter Juni, the head of the Ontario Science Table, said wastewater data show that the province is seeing between 100,000 and 120,000 new cases each day.
Ontario has seen a 40 per cent week-over-week increase in hospitalizations. On Saturday, Ontario reported 1,188 people in hospital with COVID-19.
In the brief, PHO also reported that the province could see an increase in COVID-19 infections among children. The agency said it could impact pediatric hospital and intensive care capacity and lead to further interruption to in-person learning.
“With expected increased infections among children associated with increased transmissibility of BA.2, removal of public health measures, and limited vaccine eligibility and two-dose coverage in children less than 12 years, the number of children with severe disease is likely to increase,” the report read.
Reintroducing universal indoor masking in schools and other public settings and extending masking in high-risk settings could be effective at reducing transmission, PHO said.
There have been calls to reinstate mask mandates, especially in schools, as absences among students and teachers continue to climb. Public health experts have criticized the province for ending the mandates, saying it was a mistake.
“Prevention strategies layered onto a vaccination strategy can mitigate a surge in the current context of a more transmissible dominant variant and when case rates are higher than during much of the pandemic to date,” PHO said.
“Optimizing layers of prevention in K-12 schools, including temporary re-implementation of masking requirements indoors and improved air quality can reduce the risk of in-school transmission and related disruption for students, families and educational settings.”
PHO said public health officials should stress the importance of wearing masks to the public to blunt the sixth wave.
“Risk communication to the population regarding high levels of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and COVID-19 disease risk may also be helpful, including in the context of collective actions such as community masking,” the report read.
However, Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott, citing Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore, said earlier this week there is no need to reinstate mask mandates as the rise in cases was expected.
PHO warned that there is growing evidence that a new COVID-19 variant of concern could emerge and “drastically change the course of the pandemic.”
“The emergence of the BA.2 sub-lineage when jurisdictions were experiencing the decline of the BA.1 and BA.1.1 waves underscores the need for high quality surveillance, building on past experience related to removal of public health interventions, vaccination, and preparedness for the next stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.” |

FAST-PACED CULINARY EVENT SELECTS WINNERS TO ADVANCE TO NATIONAL COMPETITION WHILE RAISING FUNDS FOR TEXAS RESTAURANT FOUNDATION
FRISCO, Texas , March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Talented high school students currently studying the business and art of food came together to compete at the anticipated 2022 Texas ProStart Invitational, held March 25-27, in Frisco, Texas. Beloved by participants and spectators alike, the annual competition showcases teams of aspiring young chefs, restaurateurs, and more who are involved in ProStart, a national industry-based culinary arts and hospitality program and curriculum managed in Texas by the Texas Restaurant Association's (TRA) workforce development arm, the Texas Restaurant Foundation (TRF), for high schools throughout the state.
More than forty teams of 5 high school students each competed in one of two categories: culinary or management. The 2022 Texas ProStart Invitational Culinary Finalists were:
1st place: Ben Barber and Frontier STEM Academy, Mansfield, TX
2nd place: Dr. Gene Burton College & Career Academy, Rockwall, TX
3rd place: Robert Turner College and Career High School, Pearland, TX
Management Finalists at the 2022 Texas ProStart Invitational were:
1st place: Ben Barber and Frontier STEM Academy, Mansfield, TX
2nd place: The MILE, Midlothian, TX
3rd place: Robert Turner College and Career High School, Pearland, TX
Culinary teams were tasked with preparing a three-course meal in 60 minutes. Judges evaluated the students' knife skills, teamwork, safety and sanitation, the taste of the food, and menu development, specifically regarding recipes and cost.
Students on management teams competed Shark Tank-style, developing and presenting an original restaurant concept, including a menu, staffing, and marketing plans, then relying on critical thinking skills to address everyday challenges.
In a resounding testament to the strength of the program, the management and culinary teams from Ben Barber and Frontier STEM Academy in Mansfield, Texas, earned first place in their respective categories. The two groups will go on to represent Texas and compete at the National ProStart Invitational in Washington, D.C., set for an in-person return May 6-8, 2022, after the pandemic forced a two-year hiatus. The first-place finish in Texas is a triumphant return for the management team from Ben Barber and Frontier STEM Academy, who earned top Texas honors and then brought home first prize from the National ProStart Invitational in 2019.
The Texas ProStart Program is the largest in the country and focuses on developing the next generation of restaurant and foodservice leaders. Texas ProStart has a long history of sending top competitors to the national competition. The program is industry driven, combining culinary arts and restaurant management training to build practical skills.

More than 15,000 students at more than 185 schools participate in ProStart programs throughout Texas every year. The invitational alone draws more than 250 high school students.
"We are so proud of all of these students, whose hard work, brilliant ideas, and ferocious skill were incredibly inspiring," said Emily Williams Knight, Ed.D., President & CEO of the TRA and TRF. "The future of our hospitality industry here in Texas could not be in better hands."

The first-place winner from the competition will represent New Mexico at the National Pro-Start Invitational in Washington D.C. That will take place next month. | 1 | 7,409 | 0.678462 | https://www.gjsentinel.com/fruita-monument-prostart-team-headed-to-national-culinary-competition/article_48c67440-cbff-11ec-99c8-bb05396e9db7.html | 2022-05-05 07:22:38+00:00 | The packing lists for an upcoming airline flight to be taken by four students from Fruita Monument High School are rather odd.
They include sharp knives, a grill pan, a couple of pots, bowls, tongs, paper towels and more, all headed to the National ProStart Invitational on May 6–8 in Washington, D.C., a culinary competition presented by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.
For chefs, even aspiring ones, familiar tools are always the best, especially when facing culinary teams from across the United States with one hour to prepare a three-course meal using two butane burners. No fridge or chiller. No sink. And judges’ eyes will be everywhere.
The Fruita ProStart culinary team of seniors Liz Potter and Taylor Schimek, junior Kyley King and sophomore Ajae Benefield nervously can’t wait.
In advance of leaving for the national competition, the students and Cheryl Tennant, the ProStart and family and consumer sciences teacher at Fruita Monument, were presented with a Congressional Award on Monday by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert for their achievement in winning the Colorado ProStart Invitational in Aurora in February.
ProStart is a culinary arts and management training program for high schoolers. This year was the first that a Fruita Monument culinary team has won the state invitational in about 30 years since the program has been offered at the high school, Tennant said.
Given the high-quality statewide competition, winning was not something Tennant thought she would see before retiring at the end of this school year
“It’s been so crazy,” Tennant said during her team’s last practice before nationals. “What a way to go out.”
“We walked in there feeling like the underdogs,” Schimek said, recalling the state invitational as she prepared dough for sopapillas.
Their meal prep, cooking and plating were solid, but as the awards ceremony droned on and their team’s name didn’t come up, she began to lose hope. Then Fruita was announced as the winner.
“We had a full-blown freak out,” Schimek said of herself and King.
DELICIOUS CREATION
The three-course meal the team made at state and will also be made at nationals has a shrimp ceviche tostada as an appetizer, flank steak and vegetables for the entrée and sopapillas for dessert.
Who slices this or cooks that during competitions is based on skill set, Potter said.
Her knife skills landed her with the ceviche, which is spooned into a ring made of thin avocado slices on top of a small tostada. The avocados must be just right for that ring to work, Potter said.
“I do not let anyone pick my avocados for me.”
The team’s Latin-inspired menu was decided upon last year with the help of their mentor chef, Ryan Garcia from Suehiro Japanese restaurant in downtown Grand Junction, and they have been practicing since December.
“That looks beautiful,” Garcia said, as King and Benefield plated the flank steak topped with green asparagus spears and other vegetables.
The steak is really tender, King said. “We’ve got it down to perfect.”
While the ceviche is delicious and the steak wonderful, the sopapillas might be the team’s overall favorite part.
“They taste as good as they look,” Benefield said proudly.
The four students, along with Tennant and Garcia, who will both accompany the team to nationals, are hopeful the judges will agree.
But there will be judges there for seemingly everything, not just for tasting, Potter said.
During the hourlong competition, the team will have to cook and plate their meal, while judges will be watching for how the team handles safety and sanitation, cooking techniques, knife skills and more, she said.
They even weigh the waste produced in preparing the meal, Schimek added.
“We’re training them to run a restaurant,” Garcia said, explaining how the team had to figure out the cost of the meal and the waste it could create along with learning how cook it.
Potter, Schimek, King and Benefield learned their lessons well, and “I’m pretty proud of them,” he said.
The team will leave for nationals on Thursday. The competition will be Saturday, with results coming on Sunday, which means there will be time for some sightseeing.
This will be the first time the students have been to Washington, D.C., so Tennant is planning to hit the highlights like a visit to the National Mall and as many Smithsonian museums as they can.
“Have good walking shoes,” she told the team, and then continued to modify their competition packing lists to make sure everything was accounted for.
“We have a good chance,” she said of the team’s odds of winning.
Only 40 teams will be competing this year because of COVID-19.
“It’s been a huge surprise,” Tennant said about the state win and chance to go to nationals. “As a matter of fact, I cried.” |

WHAT THEY SAID
Head coach Jo Evans
On every player scoring a run…
“That’s so unusual to have every person who got up to the plate have an opportunity to score a
run. I don’t think that’s ever happened in my career. It’s just nice because you have those people coming off the bench that are working just as hard as everybody else and when they get an opportunity, you’re pulling so hard for them to have success so I’m pleased to see them be able to jump in.”
On another high-scoring game…
“I’m really pleased with our confidence at the plate. I thought we stayed really focused. Sometimes when the game gets out of hand you can get a little loose and we didn’t do that. Just continuing to pass the bat back, hitting through the lineup, and having quality at-bats all night long. It was great to see every one of our players engaged and involved in helping us win a big game.”
Freshman utility player Katie Dack
On carrying today’s win into tomorrow’s game...
“We made plans up with Coach Snider that we stick to a few words each at-bat and just to say out loud. Our self-talk really helped with our confidence. I think we can celebrate our win tonight but come in tomorrow with the same energy but not expecting it to be the same game. We just have to expect something different.”
UP NEXT
The Aggies will be back in action tomorrow at Davis Diamond for the second contest of the three-game series against ACU. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m. on SEC Network+.

https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national/nevada-toad-declared-endangered-at-site-of-geothermal-plant/ | RENO, Nev. (AP) — In a rare emergency move, the U.S government temporarily declared a northern Nevada toad endangered Monday, saying a geothermal power plant in the works could result in its extinction.
The Fish and Wildlife Service announced it is formally proposing a rule to list the Dixie Valley toad as an endangered species subject to 60 days of public comment under the Endangered Species Act’s normal rulemaking process.
But it said the emergency listing goes into effect immediately and will continue for eight months while more permanent protections are considered for the toad at the only place it is known to exist in the world.
It marks only the second time in 20 years the service has listed a species as endangered on an emergency basis.
“Protecting small population species like this ensures the continued biodiversity necessary to maintain climate resilient landscapes in one of the driest states in the country,” the agency said.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the toad’s listing might affect construction of the power plant about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Reno. Conservationists and tribal members are trying to block the project in a lawsuit currently before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The dispute is among a growing number of conflicts over wildlife protection and tribal rights on federal lands that the Biden administration faces as it pursues its agenda to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
Officials for Reno-based Ormat Technologies Inc., which broke ground on the power plant last month, have said they don’t believe a listing would impact the project because the company spent six years developing a mitigation plan to offset any potential environmental impacts.
“Ormat long recognized the importance of conserving the Dixie Valley toad, regardless of its legal status,” Ormat Vice President Paul Thomsen said Monday in an email to The Associated Press.
“Ormat will coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that any additional required process is met while we continue our work on this important renewable energy project,” he said.
Geothermal power is generated from hot water deep beneath the earth.
The Dixie Valley toad lives in wetlands around hot springs next to the construction site. In addition to geothermal development, other primary threats to one of the smallest toads in the western U.S. include disease, predation by non-native frog species, groundwater pumping for human and agricultural uses and climate change, the service said.
The agency agreed last month to expedite consideration of a federal listing of the toad as part of a settlement with conservationists and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, who are suing to block the power plant. The Nevada tribe says the site is sacred to its people who have lived there for thousands of years.
The Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned for the toad’s listing in 2017.
Monday’s decision “comes just in the nick of time for the Dixie Valley toads, which are staring down the barrel of extinction,” said Patrick Donnelly, the center’s Great Basin director.
“We’ve been saying for five years that the Dixie Meadows geothermal project could wipe out these tiny toads, and I’m thankful those concerns have been heard,” he said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
The center for Biological Diversity and the tribe won a federal court order in Reno in January temporarily blocking construction of Ormat’s project on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land east of Fallon.
But the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals stayed that order Feb. 4 pending full consideration of Ormat’s appeal. The San Francisco-based appellate court is considering hearing arguments on the appeal in June.
The last time a species was declared endangered on an emergency basis was in 2011, when the the Obama administration took action on the Miami blue butterfly in southern Florida. Before that, an emergency listing was granted for the California tiger salamander under the Bush administration in 2002.
Other species listed as endangered on an emergency basis over the years include the California bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada in 1999, steller sea lions in 1990, and the Sacramento River winter migration run of chinook salmon and Mojave desert tortoise, both in 1989. | 0 | 2,132 | 0 | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/national-news/nevada-toad-declared-endangered-at-site-of-geothermal-plant/ | 2022-04-04 22:24:48+00:00 | RENO, Nev.

But it said the emergency listing goes into effect immediately and will continue for eight months while more permanent protections are considered for the toad at the only place it is known to exist in the world.
It marks only the second time in 20 years the service has listed a species as endangered on an emergency basis.
“Protecting small population species like this ensures the continued biodiversity necessary to maintain climate resilient landscapes in one of the driest states in the country,” the agency said.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the toad’s listing might affect construction of the power plant about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Reno. Conservationists and tribal members are trying to block the project in a lawsuit currently before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The dispute is among a growing number of conflicts over wildlife protection and tribal rights on federal lands that the Biden administration faces as it pursues its agenda to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
Officials for Reno-based Ormat Technologies Inc., which broke ground on the power plant last month, have said they don’t believe a listing would impact the project because the company spent six years developing a mitigation plan to offset any potential environmental impacts.
“Ormat long recognized the importance of conserving the Dixie Valley toad, regardless of its legal status,” Ormat Vice President Paul Thomsen said Monday in an email to The Associated Press.
“Ormat will coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that any additional required process is met while we continue our work on this important renewable energy project,” he said.
Geothermal power is generated from hot water deep beneath the earth.
The Dixie Valley toad lives in wetlands around hot springs next to the construction site. In addition to geothermal development, other primary threats to one of the smallest toads in the western U.S. include disease, predation by non-native frog species, groundwater pumping for human and agricultural uses and climate change, the service said.
The agency agreed last month to expedite consideration of a federal listing of the toad as part of a settlement with conservationists and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, who are suing to block the power plant. The Nevada tribe says the site is sacred to its people who have lived there for thousands of years.
The Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned for the toad’s listing in 2017.
Monday’s decision “comes just in the nick of time for the Dixie Valley toads, which are staring down the barrel of extinction,” said Patrick Donnelly, the center’s Great Basin director.
“We’ve been saying for five years that the Dixie Meadows geothermal project could wipe out these tiny toads, and I’m thankful those concerns have been heard,” he said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
The center for Biological Diversity and the tribe won a federal court order in Reno in January temporarily blocking construction of Ormat’s project on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land east of Fallon.
But the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals stayed that order Feb. 4 pending full consideration of Ormat’s appeal. The San Francisco-based appellate court is considering hearing arguments on the appeal in June.
The last time a species was declared endangered on an emergency basis was in 2011, when the the Obama administration took action on the Miami blue butterfly in southern Florida. Before that, an emergency listing was granted for the California tiger salamander under the Bush administration in 2002.
Other species listed as endangered on an emergency basis over the years include the California bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada in 1999, steller sea lions in 1990, and the Sacramento River winter migration run of chinook salmon and Mojave desert tortoise, both in 1989. | 2 | 5,165 | 0 | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/u-s-news/ap-u-s-news/nevada-toad-declared-endangered-at-site-of-geothermal-plant/ | 2022-04-04 22:37:27+00:00 | RENO, Nev.

https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/washington-dc/he-is-a-war-criminal-biden-promises-swift-action-for-putin/ | WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The White House said there will be consequences for Russian President Vladimir Putin, as new evidence of Russian war crimes emerged over the weekend in communities just outside the capitol of Kyiv.
Russian military forces pulled back from the suburbs of the capital of Kyiv. Ukrainian forces found bodies in crushed cars, front yards and mass graves.
President Joe Biden said Putin should face a war crimes trial.
“He is a war criminal,” Biden said. “This guy is brutal.”
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., called for more economic sanctions to stop the money that’s paying for Putin’s violent rampage.
“It’s gut wrenching,” Blumenthal said. “The banks that process his oil and gas revenue have no sanctions, they’re the ones who need to be sanctioned.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said it’s time the U.S. and NATO up the ante.
“This is a turning point for me, I think this should be a turning point for the world,” Graham said. “Putin is not a legitimate leader, he needs to be considered a pariah. He should be kicked out of the UN.”
The president of Ukraine is calling the killings an act of genocide. Biden stopped short of using that term Monday, but he promised swift action.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Monday said more sanctions are on the way this week and promised more military aid to Ukraine as Russia ramps up attacks in other parts of the country.
“To raise the pressure and raise the cost on Putin and on Russia,” Sullivan said. “We should be under no illusions that Russia will adjust its tactics.”
Sullivan said the recent actions are a shock but not a surprise. He argued the killing of civilians was always part of Putin’s plans.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned the new evidence is only a glimpse of the carnage, saying it’s “just the tip of the iceberg.”
The Russian government continues to deny allegations that their forces are targeting Ukrainian civilians.
The Biden administration said it will work with allies to determine what next steps should be taken to hold Putin accountable for war crimes on the world’s stage. | 0 | 106 | 0 | https://www.cbs42.com/washington/washington-dc/he-is-a-war-criminal-biden-promises-swift-action-for-putin/ | 2022-04-04 22:16:29+00:00 | WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The White House said there will be consequences for Russian President Vladimir Putin, as new evidence of Russian war crimes emerged over the weekend in communities just outside the capitol of Kyiv.

https://k2radio.com/casper-police-department-shining-light-during-sexual-assault-awareness-month/ | Casper Police Department Shining Light During Sexual Assault Awareness Month
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and, throughout the next 4 weeks, the Casper Police Department will be shining a light on the issue, and sharing a lot of information regarding the subject.
"While the topic may still be considered uncomfortable for some, as a law enforcement agency, we see the devastating effects of this on #ourcommunity far too often," the CPD wrote on their Facebook page. "Sexual assault and sexual violence take place in many different ways and has devastating, life-changing impacts on victims."
The CPD stated that this month, and every month, they are committed to preventing and ending sexual violence in our community.
"We're committed to thoroughly investigating instances of sexual assault, and working diligently to hold criminals accountable for their actions, while providing support to victims," the CPD wrote.
Additionally, the Casper Police Department will be sharing ways that the community can be a part of the solution to preventing sexual assault.
"Our goal is to help victims of sexual assault feel as comfortable and supported as possible," said Leslie Fritzler, the Victim Services Specialist for the Casper Police Department.

The Victim Service and Prevention team with the Family Services of North Alabama, a rape crisis center serving DeKalb and Marshall Counties, started a “Pops for Cops” initiative to recognize local law enforcement and raise awareness.
“The team wanted to do a little something to recognize law enforcement and show them how much we appreciate all they do for the community, all they do for the victims and survivors we serve,” said Executive Director at Family Services of North Alabama Sherrie Hiett. Along with the support of their agency.
The team visited 23 police departments throughout DeKalb and Marshall Counties, engaging with the precincts, shaking their hands, taking a photo, and leaving behind some suckers and their crisis cards to hand out to victims they may encounter.
Victim Services Director for DeKalb County Bonnie Walters said the response has been “awesome.”
“The departments have been really responsive and interested in more information and possible future training,” she said.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention defined sexual violence as a “sexual activity when consent is not obtained or freely given. It has been categorized as a serious public health concern in the United States as it impacts every community and affects people from all walks of life.
Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. Meanwhile, only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison.
Anyone can experience or perpetrate sexual violence. The perpetrator of sexual violence is usually someone the victim knows, such as a friend, current or former intimate partner, coworker, neighbor, or family member.
Sexual violence can occur in person, online or through technology, such as posting or sharing sexual pictures of someone without their consent, or non-consensual sexting.

April is also National Child Abuse Awareness Month, during which advocates take the opportunity to raise awareness about the signs of child abuse and how to prevent it.
Communities around the nation come together to support families and children by reinforcing strategies, outreach programs, resources and tools for identifying abuse and neglect.
As stated by the CDC, nearly one in five women have experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime. One in three female rape victims experienced it for the first time between the ages of 11 and 17 and one in eight female rape victims reported that it occurred before age 10.
Research also concluded nearly one in 38 men have experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime. About one in four male rape victims experienced it for the first time between the ages of 11 and 17 and one in four male rape victims reported that it occurred before the age of 10.
The Children’s Advocacy Center provides forensic exams, counseling, court advocacy, and other support services to victims and non-offending family members. The center provides child-friendly environments and works with a team that represents law enforcement and support organizations, allowing the child to recount the details of abuse one time, instead of multiple times in different places. More information can be found by visiting the Children's Advocacy Center at dekalbcac.org.
FSNA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to “teach, empower, advocate, and liberate through education, resource networking, and providing advocacy for victims of sexual assault,” according to familyservicesna.org.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and, throughout the next 4 weeks, the Casper Police Department will be shining a light on the issue, and sharing a lot of information regarding the subject.
"While the topic may still be considered uncomfortable for some, as a law enforcement agency, we see the devastating effects of this on #ourcommunity far too often," the CPD wrote on their Facebook page. "Sexual assault and sexual violence take place in many different ways and has devastating, life-changing impacts on victims."
The CPD stated that this month, and every month, they are committed to preventing and ending sexual violence in our community.
"We're committed to thoroughly investigating instances of sexual assault, and working diligently to hold criminals accountable for their actions, while providing support to victims," the CPD wrote.
Additionally, the Casper Police Department will be sharing ways that the community can be a part of the solution to preventing sexual assault.
"Our goal is to help victims of sexual assault feel as comfortable and supported as possible," said Leslie Fritzler, the Victim Services Specialist for the Casper Police Department.

Sexual assault statistics in the United States are staggering. One in three women (and one in four men) experience sexual violence that involves physical contact, according to the CDC. Nearly 20% of women are raped or are the target of an attempted rape. And since many sexual assaults go unreported, the real numbers concerning sexual assault crimes and victims are probably much higher.
To help prevent sexual assault and highlight how common sex-related crimes are, activists in the 1970s launched Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which is recognized every April. Health spoke to two sexual assault prevention experts to explain what people need to know about the toll sexual assault takes on all of us.
Even though Sexual Assault Awareness Month has been on the calendar for decades, many people still don’t understand the gravity of the situation. “There are still gaps in the public’s understanding of how widespread the reach of harassment, assault, and abuse are,” Laura Palumbo, communications director of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), tells Health.
One aspect of sexual assault is particularly tough for people to swallow: Often the victim is harmed by someone in their inner circle. Abusers can be “someone [the victim] may know and trust, [such as] family members, friends, a partner, a neighbor, [or] a teacher,” says Palumbo. “That’s one of the misconceptions—it’s still something that really challenges people because we don’t like to think about the people we know being capable of sexual assault. It’s oftentimes not a stranger.”
Sexual Assault Awareness Month was created to help spread this and other facts about rape and other sex-related crimes. Activities such as film screenings, poetry slams, lectures, and Take Back the Night walks help spotlight the issue and empower survivors. Some people designate one "day of action" during the month to address sexual assault—often choosing to wear teal on this day, which is the color associated with sexual assault awareness.
As crucial as the April campaign is, it's important to make sure the actions and activities of Sexual Assault Awareness Month keep going all year long. Alexandra Zeitz-Moskin, a director at the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault (NYCAASA), says the campaign has two objectives. The first is to make sure that survivors have the resources they need. The second is to prevent people from committing sexual assault in the first place. That could involve everything from forming support groups to advocating tougher laws for predators.
“If we don’t hold those people who commit harm accountable and work to change the culture of our communities, then this becomes an ongoing cycle and more people are harmed," says Palumbo. "And that does not need to be the case." She believes that we should actively challenge the way we’ve accepted sexual violence as just another part of our culture. “We really hope to reiterate a message that we don’t need to accept this as the status quo. We can do something about it,” she adds. For resources to help spread the facts about sexual assault and decrease the prevalence of sex crimes, visit the National Sexual Violence Resource Center or RAINN (Rape Abuse & Incest National Network). |

https://blog.japanwondertravel.com/unique-ways-to-get-around-in-tokyo-32630 | Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world and it boasts one of the most ingenious public transportation systems in the world. If you don’t mind taking a walk, the metropolis is also very pedestrian-friendly and you can see quite a lot in one day on foot if you plan the day well. But with so many ways to get around in Tokyo, let’s have a look at which alternatives there are for hoofing it!
Luup
One of the newest additions to Tokyo’s transportation arsenal is the electric scooter system called Luup. It seems to be gaining popularity quickly, especially among Tokyo’s 20- and 30-somethings. The scooters go up to 15 km/h and are used like bicycles, so you have to use the bicycle lane or the side of the road instead of the sidewalk. There are many pickup/dropoff points all over central Tokyo, and you can conveniently check the app to see where Luup scooters are still available near you. At the moment, the app is only available in Japanese, but this may change if the system turns out to be a success. They also rent out electric bicycles with the same system, so if they are out of scooters or if you want to go slightly longer distances, you can also opt for a bicycle.
(Electric) Rental Bicycle
Electric bicycles are ubiquitous in Tokyo, and many citizens younger or older like to use them to get around swiftly and without breaking a sweat. There are quite a few bridges and small hills and tunnels in the city, so an electric bicycle makes it a lot easier to get around compared to a pushbike. Tokyo’s summers are notoriously hot and humid as well, so that’s another good reason to get an electric bike. There are many places to rent them around the city, rental shops as well as rental systems. The most convenient rental system is Tokyo Bike Share by Docomo, which has docking portals all over central Tokyo and the nearer suburbs. You can buy a day pass at convenience stores if you only want to use them once, and if you are planning to use them more often you can download their app.
Rickshaw
If you want to spoil yourself a bit, why not take a ride on a pulled rickshaw? Popular tourist areas like Asakusa and Kamakura have fit young men (and sometimes women) waiting for customers who want to see the area from the back of their rickshaw. Of course, the pullers happily share stories about the area while you go around with flair and good humor. Rides takes around 20 minutes, and because the cart is easily maneuvered into the smaller streets, you will get to see the quiet and quaint backstreets that are relatively undiscovered by the throngs of tourists on the main streets.
Water Bus
Of course, you can take the subway to get to and from Asakusa, but how about seeing a bit more of Tokyo while on the way from the Water Bus? The boats that go between Asakusa, the Hamarikyu Gardens, Toyosu, and Odaiba don’t just bring you to your destination but also give you the unique opportunity to view Tokyo from the water. You can enjoy a snack or drink that they sell on board, and if you’re lucky you may even get to ride the futuristic-looking Hotaluna boat.
Tram
While trams aren’t as common as they used to be in Japan, there are still a few of them spread around the country. The only tram ride that you can still make in central Tokyo is the Toden Arakawa Line, which is also known as the ‘sakura tram’ for the many cherry blossoms you can see on the way during the season. But it is also worth a ride outside of the cherry blossom season, as you get to see the more local and residential side of Tokyo on the ride that goes from Waseda to Minowabashi. Hopping on and off is strongly recommended if you want to see Tokyo’s more quiet, everyday face. We especially recommend checking out Sugamo which is also famous as Tokyo’s elderly’s answer to young and hip Harajuku.
Train and Subway
If you just want to get somewhere cheap and quick and don’t really care much about what you see on the way, then taking the train or subway is the best choice. Tokyo has one of the most efficient and extensive public transportation networks in the world, and there are always multiple ways to get where you need to be in central Tokyo. Buying an IC card upon arrival in Japan is a good idea if you are planning to take the train, subway, or bus anywhere in Japan more than a few times. This way, you will save yourself the effort of having to buy separate tickets for each ride.
If you are taking more than 3 train and/or subway rides in one day, you should get a one-day pass as that will save you a significant amount of money. You can get a pass for either the subway or the JR trains for the best deal, they are both available at ticket vending machines at their respective stations. Here is an overview of public transportation in Japan for more comprehensive handy travel information.
Taxi
Sometimes you just want to get somewhere quickly without having to look at which train to take or how to walk. Or maybe it is raining and you just want to get to your next destination as comfortably as possible. If you don’t mind spending a bit more, taking a taxi can be a great option for rides between ~3-7 km. Compared to many other large cities in the world, taxis in Japan aren’t as expensive as elsewhere, and if you travel with 2 or 3 companions it can sometimes even be cheaper compared to taking the train if you go only a few kilometers. Most taxi drivers don’t speak English, but if you show them the Japanese name of where you want to go on your phone you should have no problems in getting to your destination.
Traveling Around Tokyo
As you see, there are many ways to go from one hot spot in Tokyo to the next. But what if you come to Tokyo for the first time, and you want to just be able to follow a local expert to the best places to see, feel, and experience? In that case, hiring a private guide for one of your first days in the city is a very good idea. We offer many different kinds of tours such as highlight tours, food tours, specialty tours, and day trips just outside of Tokyo. No matter which tour you choose, you can always be sure that we will provide you with an excellent guide who will offer a wealth of knowledge and extra excitement to your day!

Amazon has several models of Hiboy electric scooters marked down by up to 36%, as well as a few other fun items to get you and your family rolling.
If you want to zoom around town, you have a few options. The S2 Pro electric scooter gives a decent range and a good price. It's discounted by $180 right now, bringing the price to $520. It has a 500-watt motor and can reach speeds up to 19 miles per hour. It will travel up to 25.6 miles on a single charge and comes equipped with 10-inch tires and rear dual shock absorbers. It even features headlights with a range of up to 15 meters and both disc and anti-lock braking. If you want to grab an S2 Pro that comes equipped with a seat for a more comfortable ride, you can snag it for $560, which is a savings of $190.
However, if you have a much longer commute, consider the S2 Max, which also travels at speeds up to 19 miles per hour, but has a much larger range of 40.4 miles per charge. And it can clime up to a 20% slope. It folds quickly, making it ideal for carrying on public transportation or storing in small spaces. It also features an LED display that will help you keep tabs on speed, battery life, riding mode and more. It even has a cruise control option. You can pair this scooter with your smartphone to lock your scooter or get firmware updates. It's $720, saving you $180.
The lowest priced scooter in the sale is the Max 3, which has a smaller range of 17 miles and can reach speeds of up to 18 miles per hour. It comes equipped with a wider deck than some other models, but the motor is only 350 watts, as opposed to the 500-watt motor the other scooters mentioned above carry. Keep in mind that each of these electric scooters has a maximum user weight of 220 pounds.
There are other electric scooter options available, too, as well as a push scooter for small kids to play with in the yard and other fun Hiboy products, so be sure and check out the entire sale selection at Amazon. |

This electric scooter can hold up to 265 pounds, so it’s suitable for all riders. Adjustable shocks and 11-inch pneumatic tires cushion the rider’s weight and make the commute comfortable no matter what terrain you ride on.

The scooter is well-built with key ignition, an LED display and an electronic twist throttle.

Another handy feature is the kickstart mode. This enables you to fold it horizontally when you want to park it and jump back on it with ease.

https://blog.japanwondertravel.com/unique-ways-to-get-around-in-tokyo-32630 | Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world and it boasts one of the most ingenious public transportation systems in the world. If you don’t mind taking a walk, the metropolis is also very pedestrian-friendly and you can see quite a lot in one day on foot if you plan the day well. But with so many ways to get around in Tokyo, let’s have a look at which alternatives there are for hoofing it!
Luup
One of the newest additions to Tokyo’s transportation arsenal is the electric scooter system called Luup. It seems to be gaining popularity quickly, especially among Tokyo’s 20- and 30-somethings. The scooters go up to 15 km/h and are used like bicycles, so you have to use the bicycle lane or the side of the road instead of the sidewalk. There are many pickup/dropoff points all over central Tokyo, and you can conveniently check the app to see where Luup scooters are still available near you. At the moment, the app is only available in Japanese, but this may change if the system turns out to be a success. They also rent out electric bicycles with the same system, so if they are out of scooters or if you want to go slightly longer distances, you can also opt for a bicycle.
(Electric) Rental Bicycle
Electric bicycles are ubiquitous in Tokyo, and many citizens younger or older like to use them to get around swiftly and without breaking a sweat. There are quite a few bridges and small hills and tunnels in the city, so an electric bicycle makes it a lot easier to get around compared to a pushbike. Tokyo’s summers are notoriously hot and humid as well, so that’s another good reason to get an electric bike. There are many places to rent them around the city, rental shops as well as rental systems. The most convenient rental system is Tokyo Bike Share by Docomo, which has docking portals all over central Tokyo and the nearer suburbs. You can buy a day pass at convenience stores if you only want to use them once, and if you are planning to use them more often you can download their app.
Rickshaw
If you want to spoil yourself a bit, why not take a ride on a pulled rickshaw? Popular tourist areas like Asakusa and Kamakura have fit young men (and sometimes women) waiting for customers who want to see the area from the back of their rickshaw. Of course, the pullers happily share stories about the area while you go around with flair and good humor. Rides takes around 20 minutes, and because the cart is easily maneuvered into the smaller streets, you will get to see the quiet and quaint backstreets that are relatively undiscovered by the throngs of tourists on the main streets.
Water Bus
Of course, you can take the subway to get to and from Asakusa, but how about seeing a bit more of Tokyo while on the way from the Water Bus? The boats that go between Asakusa, the Hamarikyu Gardens, Toyosu, and Odaiba don’t just bring you to your destination but also give you the unique opportunity to view Tokyo from the water. You can enjoy a snack or drink that they sell on board, and if you’re lucky you may even get to ride the futuristic-looking Hotaluna boat.
Tram
While trams aren’t as common as they used to be in Japan, there are still a few of them spread around the country. The only tram ride that you can still make in central Tokyo is the Toden Arakawa Line, which is also known as the ‘sakura tram’ for the many cherry blossoms you can see on the way during the season. But it is also worth a ride outside of the cherry blossom season, as you get to see the more local and residential side of Tokyo on the ride that goes from Waseda to Minowabashi. Hopping on and off is strongly recommended if you want to see Tokyo’s more quiet, everyday face. We especially recommend checking out Sugamo which is also famous as Tokyo’s elderly’s answer to young and hip Harajuku.
Train and Subway
If you just want to get somewhere cheap and quick and don’t really care much about what you see on the way, then taking the train or subway is the best choice. Tokyo has one of the most efficient and extensive public transportation networks in the world, and there are always multiple ways to get where you need to be in central Tokyo. Buying an IC card upon arrival in Japan is a good idea if you are planning to take the train, subway, or bus anywhere in Japan more than a few times. This way, you will save yourself the effort of having to buy separate tickets for each ride.
If you are taking more than 3 train and/or subway rides in one day, you should get a one-day pass as that will save you a significant amount of money. You can get a pass for either the subway or the JR trains for the best deal, they are both available at ticket vending machines at their respective stations. Here is an overview of public transportation in Japan for more comprehensive handy travel information.
Taxi
Sometimes you just want to get somewhere quickly without having to look at which train to take or how to walk. Or maybe it is raining and you just want to get to your next destination as comfortably as possible. If you don’t mind spending a bit more, taking a taxi can be a great option for rides between ~3-7 km. Compared to many other large cities in the world, taxis in Japan aren’t as expensive as elsewhere, and if you travel with 2 or 3 companions it can sometimes even be cheaper compared to taking the train if you go only a few kilometers. Most taxi drivers don’t speak English, but if you show them the Japanese name of where you want to go on your phone you should have no problems in getting to your destination.
Traveling Around Tokyo
As you see, there are many ways to go from one hot spot in Tokyo to the next. But what if you come to Tokyo for the first time, and you want to just be able to follow a local expert to the best places to see, feel, and experience? In that case, hiring a private guide for one of your first days in the city is a very good idea. We offer many different kinds of tours such as highlight tours, food tours, specialty tours, and day trips just outside of Tokyo. No matter which tour you choose, you can always be sure that we will provide you with an excellent guide who will offer a wealth of knowledge and extra excitement to your day!

8 best electric scooters to help you ditch your old commute and arrive feeling fresh
Glide around town on our pick of the top battery-powered scooters for all ages
Electric scooters are having their moment in the sun. While they might all look the same as they whizz past, they’re not all created equal. The best electric scooters are rated for their reliability, their comfort, their range and – above all – their safety.
These e-scooters are fast becoming the preferred mode of transport for anyone looking to avoid packed trains, cut out unnecessary car journeys and arrive at their destination without looking like they’ve just been dragged backwards through a bush.
But despite their booming popularity, local laws have been slow to adapt to this emergent form of green transport. There are imminent plans in the UK to regulate and authorize the use of private scooters on public streets, but until these new rules are implemented – and depending on where in the world you are – the e-scooters in our list are only permitted for use on private land. So always scoot responsibly.
Finding the best electric scooter for your needs depends on a range of factors. Will it have a long range to ferry you to and from your destination? Does it have durable tyres to cope with the road surfaces you ride on? Can the motor handle that steep hill on the way to Big Tesco? Does it fold up easily and fit in the back of a Smart Fortwo?
Our list of the best electric scooters includes models to suit most riders: scooters impeccable all-round performance, affordable models that don’t cut corners when it comes to quality and safety, and long range models for those who want to go on a scooting adventure.

How we tested
A big part of why electric scooters still occupy a legal grey area is simple regulation. You can easily find suspiciously cheap and poor-quality electric scooters online that would never pass a basic safety inspection and are potentially dangerous to ride. That’s why the e-scooters in our list are models we’ve tested from brands we know and trust, so you can be sure you’re making the right choice.
We’ve tested eight of the best electric scooters on the market, taking into consideration the range, comfort, portability and safety of each. Bear in mind that the ranges stated below are given by the manufacturer and measured under ideal conditions. Things like hills, the weight of the rider, your speed and the weather conditions can all make a big dent in the actual range.
As a rule of thumb, you want a scooter with a stated range at least twice that of the distance you intend to ride it on a regular basis. This gives you plenty of breathing room, and ensures you’re unlikely to get stranded halfway to your destination.
The best electric scooter in 2022 is:
- Best all-rounder – Pure air go: £349, Pureelectric.com
- Best for performance – Pure air pro: £499, Pureelectric.com
- Best lightweight e-scooter – Unagi model one: £749, Amazon.co.uk
- Best budget electric scooter – Xiaomi Mi 1S: £339.49, Amazon.co.uk
- Best for adults – Xiaomi Mi pro 2: £469, Currys.co.uk
- Best for teens – Bird one: £349.99, Electricrideoncars.co.uk
- Best with replaceable battery – Decent one max: £449, Currys.co.uk
- Best range – Segway ninebot max G30E II: £729 , Halfords.com
Pure air go (2nd generation)
Best: All-rounder
Rating: 9/10
- Weight: 16kg
- Size: 116cm x 50cm x 119cm/51cm
- Range: 20km
- Charging time: 3.5h
- Power: 350W
- Tyres: 10in, air-filled puncture-resistant
The best electric scooter for under £400, the Pure air go strikes an uncompromising balance between value, battery life, comfort and build quality. It looks smart, weighs just 16kg, sports a sleek, no-fuss design and has a quality steel frame in black or grey.
IP65 water resistance – a grade above most other scooters we’ve tested – means you can confidently zip through puddles without damaging any of the sensitive electronics inside, making it a great choice for anyone who wants to continue riding during the wetter winter months. The rear-wheel drive can lose momentum on steeper inclines, but the three speed motor keeps you moving all the same.
It is an excellent all-rounder, and everything you need in an electric scooter.

Pure air pro (2nd generation)
Best: For performance
Rating: 10/10
- Weight: 16.5kg
- Size: 116cm x 50cm x 119cm/51cm
- Range: 50km
- Charging time: 8.5h
- Power: 500W
- Tyres: 10in, air-filled puncture-resistant
Like the more affordable Pure air go (£349, Purelectric.com), the Pure air pro is built to withstand all kinds of miserable weather, with IP65 water resistance allowing you to plough straight through puddles rather than around them. Chunky 10in wheels and pneumatic tyres make for one of the most comfortable and least jittery rides of any of the scooters we’ve tested.
A fully upgraded version of the basic Pure air electric scooter, the pro weighs just half a kilo more and introduces a few improvements over the regular model. The front-wheel drive motor is a lot more powerful and races up inclines as if they weren’t there, while a larger battery and regenerative braking extends the battery life and boosts the maximum range to an impressive 31 miles.
The Pure air pro is a high-performance e-scooter and an excellent choice for anyone regularly riding across hilly terrain.

Unagi model one
Best: Lightweight electric scooter
Rating: 8/10
- Weight: 12kg
- Size: 116cm x 50cm x 119cm/51cm
- Range: 15.5 miles
- Charging time: 5 hours
- Power: Dual 250W
- Tyres: 7.5in solid
The lightest electric scooter we’ve tested, the Unagi Model One is a nippy little ride with a stylish magnesium alloy handlebar, integrated display and carbon fibre tubing. At just 12kg, it’s one of the most portable scooters on the market and sports a straightforward, single-click folding action, making it a superb choice for anyone who goes on regular rides and needs to store it in a car boot or luggage space.
To reduce the weight this much, Unagi has had to sacrifice some power output and restrict the battery size. That means it struggles on steeper inclines and has a relatively limited range compared to more heavy-duty scooters in our list. The Unagi model one’s range sits at around 15.5 miles, less than half of the long range Pure air pro LR (£749, Purelectric.com).
Those solid rubber tyres are puncture-proof, durable and well-suited to smooth roads, but will rattle your teeth on rough terrain.

Xiaomi Mi 1S
Best: Budget electric scooter
Rating: 9/10
- Weight: 12.5kg
- Range: 18.5 miles
- Charging time: 5.5 hours
- Power: 250W
- Wheels: 8.5in pneumatic tyres
If you’ve ever taken a ride on an electric scooter before, chances are it was a Xiaomi. For a long time the most widely mass produced e-scooter on the planet, the Xiaomi M365 (or some variant) was the workhorse of many e-scooter rental apps. This is thanks to the Chinese scooter’s simple, low-cost construction and near-indestructible build quality. The Xiaomi Mi 1S is built around the blueprint of the M365, and redesigned for private ownership.
Gone are the hard-wearing rubber wheels, replaced with air-filled tyres for a more comfortable ride. At 12.5kg, the Xiaomi Mi 1S is easier to carry in one hand than every other scooter we tested – barring only the fractionally more lightweight Unagi model one above (£749, Amazon.co.uk). While the small motor feels sluggish when approaching its top speed, initial acceleration is delightfully snappy and responsive.

Xiaomi Mi pro 2
Best: For adults
Rating: 8/10
- Weight: 14.2kg
- Range: 28 miles
- Charging time: 8.5 hours
- Power: 300W
- Wheels: 8.5in pneumatic tyres
Xiaomi’s more premium electric scooter is powered by a significantly punchier motor than its budget-level counterpart the Xiaomi Mi 1S (£339.49, Amazon.co.uk). Keep in mind that motor power doesn’t change the Xiaomi Mi pro 2’s top speed – electric scooters sold in Europe are speed-limited to 15.5mph – it does improve performance on hills and with heavier riders.
The Xiaomi Mi pro 2 is also a good deal larger than the more compact Xiaomi Mi 1S, which makes this scooter less portable but noticeably more stable. Smaller electric scooters can feel wobbly, but here the longer wheelbase allows for more balance and control, even when making tight turns at low speeds. The larger deck creates more room for battery storage too, giving it an impressive range for its weight.

Bird one
Best: For teenagers
Rating: 8/10
- Weight: 14.2kg
- Range: 28 miles
- Charging time: 8.5 hours
- Power: 300W
- Wheels: 8.5in pneumatic tyres
Another electric scooter originally designed for the rental market, the Bird One is a robust and high-performance ride built for reliability and crammed with a unique set of connectivity features. The companion app works much like it does when using rentals, allowing you to find the scooter using GPS tracking, remotely lock or unlock the scooter from your phone, and detect any thieving shenanigans when it’s parked up somewhere out of sight.
The scooter’s semi-solid tyres provide the best of both worlds, resisting punctures while remaining cushioned and comfortable over kerbs and bumps, though its overall weight and inability to fold down the handle leaves it feeling a little cumbersome when not in use. If there’s an easy way to pick this scooter up without smashing your unsuspecting shins to smithereens, we haven’t figured it out.

Decent one max
Best: With replaceable battery
Rating: 7/10
- Weight: 15kg
- Size: 108cm x 42cm x 118cm (46cm folded)
- Range: 24 miles
- Charging time: 6 hours
- Power: 350W
- Wheels: 10in pneumatic tyres
If the design of the Decent one max looks familiar, that’s because you’ll have seen its post-mounted battery design used by many e-scooter rental services.
This is a robust and high-performance ride built for reliability and comfort, with a hard-working motor that tackles steep inclines with aplomb. It rolls on a pair of cushioned, 10in pneumatic tyres that are well-suited to zooming over bumps and cracks and have car-type valves for ease of repair. The removable battery means you can keep a fully charged spare (sold separately) on hand to use while your depleted battery recharges.
This is a very well-priced electric scooter built to a superb standard.

Segway ninebot max G30E II
Best: For long-range
Rating: 7/10
- Weight: 19.1kg
- Range: 40 miles
- Charging time: 6 hours
- Power: 350W
- Wheels: 10in pneumatic tyres
The Segway ninebot max G30E II is a beast of an electric scooter, designed to go as long as possible on a single charge and engineered to withstand even the harshest of riding conditions. This premium model introduces creature comforts such as softer tyres for more comfortable suspension and a bright, full-colour LED display showing speed, ride settings and battery level.
The best-in-class 40-mile range means you can ride it farther than any other scooter in our list, but this comes at the expense of the scooter’s portability when switched off. A low-torque pedestrian mode assists you when walking alongside the scooter, but lugging this 19kg lug up a flight of stairs is like moving a piano.

FAQ electric scooters
Are electric scooters legal in the UK?
Yes, but only under certain conditions. Trials of electric scooter rental services are currently taking place in cities across the country. It’s legal to ride these rental scooters within the area the scheme operates. However, the law has yet to catch up with how electric scooters are being used, so there are still some technical limitations on where you can ride privately owned e-scooters.
Private scooters can only be used on private land. If you use a private electric scooter on a public road the police can fine you for operating a motor vehicle without insurance or a licence, you can receive penalty points on your licence, and you could have your scooter impounded.
Legislation is in the works to formally classify electric scooters as a new vehicle class, which would make them legal to use on public roads.
Electric scooter road safety rules
General road safety laws apply when riding an electric scooter. You can be issued a fixed penalty notice for riding on the footpath. You can receive six penalty points and a fine for using a mobile phone while riding an electric scooter. Riding through red lights can result in £100 fine and points on your licence.
And if you’re found to be drunk or intoxicated while riding an electric scooter, you can technically face the same charges as when driving any other motor vehicle: fines, a driving ban and even jail time.
Since December 2021, electric scooters have been prohibited from being carried on TfL services, after defective batteries caused fire incidents.
The government has issued the following advice on the use of rental scooters:
- Though not a legal requirement, riders are advised to wear a helmet and fluorescent clothing while using an electric scooter
- Traffic signs with bike symbols, such as at cycle lanes and bus lanes, also apply to electric scooters
- Do not ride on the pavement
- Do not ride an electric scooter on a motorway
- Do not tow anything
- Do not use a mobile phone
- Do not carry a passenger
- Do not hang luggage from the handlebars
- Do not ride while intoxicated
The verdict: Electric scooters
For unbeatable all-round performance, top build quality and affordability, our choice of the best electric scooter is the Pure air go. However, riders who need to carry extra weight or want spicier performance should consider the Pure air pro.
If your main priority is portability and simplicity, the stylish and lightweight Xiaomi Mi 1S is the electric scooter for you.

https://www.wpri.com/business-news/nevada-toad-declared-endangered-at-site-of-geothermal-plant/ | RENO, Nev. (AP) — In a rare emergency move, the U.S government temporarily declared a northern Nevada toad endangered Monday, saying a geothermal power plant in the works could result in its extinction.
The Fish and Wildlife Service announced it is formally proposing a rule to list the Dixie Valley toad as an endangered species subject to 60 days of public comment under the Endangered Species Act’s normal rulemaking process.
But it said the emergency listing goes into effect immediately and will continue for eight months while more permanent protections are considered for the toad at the only place it is known to exist in the world.
It marks only the second time in 20 years the service has listed a species as endangered on an emergency basis.
“Protecting small population species like this ensures the continued biodiversity necessary to maintain climate resilient landscapes in one of the driest states in the country,” the agency said.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the toad’s listing might affect construction of the power plant about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Reno. Conservationists and tribal members are trying to block the project in a lawsuit currently before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The dispute is among a growing number of conflicts over wildlife protection and tribal rights on federal lands that the Biden administration faces as it pursues its agenda to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
Officials for Reno-based Ormat Technologies Inc., which broke ground on the power plant last month, have said they don’t believe a listing would impact the project because the company spent six years developing a mitigation plan to offset any potential environmental impacts.
“Ormat long recognized the importance of conserving the Dixie Valley toad, regardless of its legal status,” Ormat Vice President Paul Thomsen said Monday in an email to The Associated Press.
“Ormat will coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that any additional required process is met while we continue our work on this important renewable energy project,” he said.
Geothermal power is generated from hot water deep beneath the earth.
The Dixie Valley toad lives in wetlands around hot springs next to the construction site. In addition to geothermal development, other primary threats to one of the smallest toads in the western U.S. include disease, predation by non-native frog species, groundwater pumping for human and agricultural uses and climate change, the service said.
The agency agreed last month to expedite consideration of a federal listing of the toad as part of a settlement with conservationists and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, who are suing to block the power plant. The Nevada tribe says the site is sacred to its people who have lived there for thousands of years.
The Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned for the toad’s listing in 2017.
Monday’s decision “comes just in the nick of time for the Dixie Valley toads, which are staring down the barrel of extinction,” said Patrick Donnelly, the center’s Great Basin director.
“We’ve been saying for five years that the Dixie Meadows geothermal project could wipe out these tiny toads, and I’m thankful those concerns have been heard,” he said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
The center for Biological Diversity and the tribe won a federal court order in Reno in January temporarily blocking construction of Ormat’s project on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land east of Fallon.
But the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals stayed that order Feb. 4 pending full consideration of Ormat’s appeal. The San Francisco-based appellate court is considering hearing arguments on the appeal in June.
The last time a species was declared endangered on an emergency basis was in 2011, when the the Obama administration took action on the Miami blue butterfly in southern Florida. Before that, an emergency listing was granted for the California tiger salamander under the Bush administration in 2002.
Other species listed as endangered on an emergency basis over the years include the California bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada in 1999, steller sea lions in 1990, and the Sacramento River winter migration run of chinook salmon and Mojave desert tortoise, both in 1989. | 0 | 2,132 | 0 | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/national-news/nevada-toad-declared-endangered-at-site-of-geothermal-plant/ | 2022-04-04 22:24:48+00:00 | RENO, Nev. (AP) — In a rare emergency move, the U.S government temporarily declared a northern Nevada toad endangered Monday, saying a geothermal power plant in the works could result in its extinction.
The Fish and Wildlife Service announced it is formally proposing a rule to list the Dixie Valley toad as an endangered species subject to 60 days of public comment under the Endangered Species Act’s normal rulemaking process.
But it said the emergency listing goes into effect immediately and will continue for eight months while more permanent protections are considered for the toad at the only place it is known to exist in the world.
It marks only the second time in 20 years the service has listed a species as endangered on an emergency basis.
“Protecting small population species like this ensures the continued biodiversity necessary to maintain climate resilient landscapes in one of the driest states in the country,” the agency said.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the toad’s listing might affect construction of the power plant about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Reno. Conservationists and tribal members are trying to block the project in a lawsuit currently before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The dispute is among a growing number of conflicts over wildlife protection and tribal rights on federal lands that the Biden administration faces as it pursues its agenda to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
Officials for Reno-based Ormat Technologies Inc., which broke ground on the power plant last month, have said they don’t believe a listing would impact the project because the company spent six years developing a mitigation plan to offset any potential environmental impacts.
“Ormat long recognized the importance of conserving the Dixie Valley toad, regardless of its legal status,” Ormat Vice President Paul Thomsen said Monday in an email to The Associated Press.
“Ormat will coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that any additional required process is met while we continue our work on this important renewable energy project,” he said.

https://www.kagstv.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/medicare-free-at-home-covid-test/507-c48fbd95-298c-450c-bd0c-aa27bb9be1e0 | WASHINGTON — Amid worries that the latest coronavirus variant could spark another rise in cases, Medicare announced Monday that millions of enrollees will finally have access to free over-the-counter COVID-19 tests at drug stores.
More than 59 million people with Medicare's “Part B” outpatient coverage will be able to get up to eight free at-home tests per month, or enough for an individual to test twice a week, as some doctors have recommended.
Medicare has lagged private insurance in following the Biden administration's directive to cover at-home tests because rules and regulations stood in the way, and officials had to find a work-around. This is the first time the health insurance program for older people and those with disabilities has covered an over-the-counter test at no cost to recipients.
Where can Medicare enrollees get a COVID test?
National pharmacy chains participating in Medicare's give-away include: Albertsons Companies, Inc., Costco Pharmacy, CVS, Food Lion, Giant Food, The Giant Company, Hannaford Pharmacies, H-E-B Pharmacy, Hy-Vee Pharmacy, Kroger Family of Pharmacies, Rite Aid Corp., Shop & Stop, Walgreens and Walmart.
If your pharmacy isn't on that list, Medicare's website recommends calling your pharmacy or provider to check if they're participating.
Looking for other ways to get tested? Americans can order at-home COVID tests at no cost through the federal government at COVIDtests.gov. Each household can currently order four tests. Since those tests may take a few weeks to arrive, they aren't a good option if you're currently sick or recently exposed. Instead, they should be ordered in advance and kept for when you might need them.
You can also get tested for COVID for free at more than 20,000 community-based testing sites nationwide.
Timely move?
COVID restrictions have been largely lifted, but some areas are seeing increasing cases tied to the BA.2 omicron variant.
The BA.2 omicron variant now accounts for more than half of U.S. cases, having rapidly overtaken the original strain. That initial omicron wave this winter caused the biggest spike yet in virus cases, straining many hospitals to the limit. Since then, cases nationally have rapidly dropped to the lowest level since before last summer's delta surge. Coronavirus restrictions have been largely lifted. But some areas where BA.2 took hold early are seeing increasing cases.
Monday's announcement followed another precautionary move last week, when government health officials authorized a second round of booster shots for people 50 and older as well as those with weakened immune systems. | 0 | 5,598 | 0 | https://www.wbir.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/medicare-free-at-home-covid-test/507-c48fbd95-298c-450c-bd0c-aa27bb9be1e0 | 2022-04-04 22:39:15+00:00 | WASHINGTON — Amid worries that the latest coronavirus variant could spark another rise in cases, Medicare announced Monday that millions of enrollees will finally have access to free over-the-counter COVID-19 tests at drug stores.

More than 59 million people with Medicare's “Part B” outpatient coverage will be able to get up to eight free at-home tests per month, or enough for an individual to test twice a week, as some doctors have recommended.
Medicare has lagged private insurance in following the Biden administration's directive to cover at-home tests because rules and regulations stood in the way, and officials had to find a work-around. This is the first time the health insurance program for older people and those with disabilities has covered an over-the-counter test at no cost to recipients.
Where can Medicare enrollees get a COVID test?
National pharmacy chains participating in Medicare's give-away include: Albertsons Companies, Inc., Costco Pharmacy, CVS, Food Lion, Giant Food, The Giant Company, Hannaford Pharmacies, H-E-B Pharmacy, Hy-Vee Pharmacy, Kroger Family of Pharmacies, Rite Aid Corp., Shop & Stop, Walgreens and Walmart.
If your pharmacy isn't on that list, Medicare's website recommends calling your pharmacy or provider to check if they're participating.
Looking for other ways to get tested? Americans can order at-home COVID tests at no cost through the federal government at COVIDtests.gov. Each household can currently order four tests. Since those tests may take a few weeks to arrive, they aren't a good option if you're currently sick or recently exposed. Instead, they should be ordered in advance and kept for when you might need them.
You can also get tested for COVID for free at more than 20,000 community-based testing sites nationwide.
Timely move?
COVID restrictions have been largely lifted, but some areas are seeing increasing cases tied to the BA.2 omicron variant.
The BA.2 omicron variant now accounts for more than half of U.S. cases, having rapidly overtaken the original strain. That initial omicron wave this winter caused the biggest spike yet in virus cases, straining many hospitals to the limit. Since then, cases nationally have rapidly dropped to the lowest level since before last summer's delta surge. Coronavirus restrictions have been largely lifted. But some areas where BA.2 took hold early are seeing increasing cases.

Daniela Jampel interrupted a press conference on NYC supporting LGBTQ visibility, Jampel, according to a Law Department spokesperson, lied to City Hall staff to get access to the event. She apparently claimed she was a journalist, demonstrating “a disturbing lack of judgment and integrity.”
“We hold all of our employees to the highest professional standards,” a Law Department spokesperson said. “In public statements, Ms. Jampel has made troubling claims about her work for the city Law Department. Based on those statements, the decision had been made to terminate her prior to today.”
Jampel has a history of calling for kids to be unmasked. She’s said it’s harmful for kids to wear masks when they’re learning to speak and read.
Mayor Adams had said the mandate would end in early April, but he added a caveat: it would stay in place if COVID data called for it. While Jampel feels Adams reneged on his promise, Adams said he did what he said he’d do.

It was the second recent statement Kim Yo Jong directed at South Korea Defense Minister Suh Wook. She said his comments about preemptive strikes were the "hysteria of a lunatic."

South Korean President Moon Jae-in leaves office in May and will be replaced by conservative Yoon Suk Yeol, who openly discussed the preemptive attack strategy on North Korea during his campaign. | 0 | 93,620 | 0.546322 | https://www.freepressjournal.in/world/kim-jong-uns-sister-threatens-south-korea-with-nuclear-weapons | 2022-04-05 07:34:10+00:00 | For the second time this week, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un berated South Korea for touting its supposed preemptive strike capabilities against the North, saying her country’s nuclear forces would annihilate the South’s conventional forces if provoked.
In a statement carried Tuesday by North Korea’s state media, Kim Yo Jong called South Korea Defense Minister Suh Wook’s recent comments about preemptive strikes a “fantastic daydream” and the “hysteria of a lunatic.”
She stressed that North Korea doesn’t want another war on the Korean Peninsula but warned it would retaliate with its nuclear forces if the South opts for preemptive strikes or other attacks, which would leave the South’s military “little short of total destruction and ruin.”
Earlier, she had called South Korea’s defence minister a “scum-like guy” for talking about preemptive strikes on the North, warning that the South may face “a serious threat”.
Kim Yo-jong’s statement on Sunday came amid heightened tensions between the rival Koreas over the North’s spate of weapons tests this year, including its first intercontinental ballistic missile launch in more than four years.
The ICBM test that broke North Korea’s four-year moratorium on big weapons tests was a huge embarrassment to South Korea’s liberal president Moon Jae-in, who has pushed hard to achieve greater reconciliation between the countries and find a peaceful resolution to the North Korean nuclear crisis.
Seoul has long maintained a pre-emptive military strategy to cope with North Korea's growing missile and nuclear threats, but it was still very unusual for a senior Seoul official under president Moon Jae-in's administration to publicly discuss it.
For some years, South Korea has been developing a “kill chain” system to launch preemptive strikes against North Korean nuclear sites in the event of war, and it appears to be accelerating this program.
The desire for a preemptive capability is understandable, but the South’s accelerating programs will aggravate North Korean threat perceptions, drive home the rationale for its nuclear program, and worsen crisis instability.

In a statement carried by North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency Tuesday, Kim Yo-jong called South Korea Defence Minister Suh Wook’s recent comments about pre-emptive strikes a “fantastic daydream” and “hysteria of a lunatic”.
While stressing that North Korea doesn’t want another war on the Korean Peninsula, Ms Kim warned that the North would retaliate with its nuclear forces if the South opted for pre-emptive strikes or other attacks, which would leave the South’s military “little short of total destruction and ruin”.
Ms Kim issued a similar statement toward Mr Suh’s comments on Sunday, calling him a “scum-like guy” and warning that the South may face a “serious threat” because of his comments.
Her statements come amid tensions over North Korea’s accelerating weapons tests this year, including its first test of a long-range missile since 2017 on March 24, as her brother revives a nuclear brinkmanship aimed at pressuring Washington to accept the North as a nuclear power and remove crippling sanctions.
Some experts say the North may up the ante in coming months, possibly test-flying missiles over Japan or resuming nuclear explosive tests, as it tries to get a response from the Biden administration, which is distracted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and an intensifying rivalry with China.
The renewed tensions have been a major setback for outgoing South Korean President Moon Jae-in, a dovish liberal who had staked his presidential term on his ambitions for inter-Korean rapprochement.
During a visit to the country’s strategic missile command last week, Mr Suh said South Korea had the ability and readiness to launch precision strikes on North Korea if it detected the North intended to fire missiles at South Korea.
Seoul has long maintained such a preemptive attack strategy to cope with North Korea’s growing missile and nuclear threats. But it was highly unusual for a senior Seoul official under the Moon administration to publicly discuss it.
“In case [South Korea] opts for military confrontation with us, our nuclear combat force will have to inevitably carry out its duty … a dreadful attack will be launched and the [South Korean] army will have to face a miserable fate little short of total destruction and ruin,” Ms Kim said in her latest statement.
“‘Pre-emptive strike’ against a nuclear weapons state? … This is a fantastic daydream, and it is hysteria of a lunatic.”
Mr Moon met Kim Jong-un three times in 2018 and lobbied hard to help set up Mr Kim’s first summit with then-US president Donald Trump in June that year.
But the diplomacy never recovered from the collapse of the second Kim-Trump meeting in 2019 in Vietnam, where the Americans rejected North Korea’s demands for major sanctions relief in exchange for a limited surrender of its nuclear capabilities.
North Korea has also severed all cooperation with Mr Moon’s government while expressing anger at US-South Korea military exercises and Seoul’s inability to wrest concessions from Washington on its behalf.
Mr Moon’s term ends in May, when he will be replaced by conservative Yoon Suk-yeol, who openly discussed the pre-emptive attack strategy on North Korea during his campaign. His liberal rivals criticised him for unnecessarily provoking North Korea, but Mr Yoon said he would pursue a principled approach on Pyongyang.
While the Biden administration has offered open-ended talks, North Korea as rejected the overture. It has demanded that Washington remove its “hostile” policy first, a term the North mainly users to refer to joint US-South Korea military exercises and US-led sanctions over its nuclear weapons program.

She stressed that North Korea doesn’t want another war on the Korean Peninsula but warned it would retaliate with its nuclear forces if the South opts for preemptive strikes or other attacks, which would leave the South’s military “little short of total destruction and ruin.”
North Korea has repeatedly stated it would preemptively use its nuclear weapons when threatened by rivals as it accelerated its development of nuclear bombs and missiles, which Kim Jong Un sees as his strongest guarantee of survival.
In another statement directed toward Suh on Sunday, Kim Yo Jong called him a “scum-like guy” and warning that the South may face a “serious threat” because of his comments.

South Korea’s government didn’t immediately respond to her comments. Seoul had issued a low-key response following Kim’s earlier comments on Sunday, urging Pyongyang to refrain from further raising tensions and return to dialogue.
Moon met Kim Jong Un three times in 2018 and lobbied hard to help set up his Kim’s first summit with then-President Donald Trump in June that year.
But the diplomacy derailed after the second Kim-Trump meeting in 2019 where the Americans rejected North Korea’s demands for major sanctions relief in exchange for a limited surrender of its nuclear capabilities.
Kim has since vowed to bolster his nuclear forces and sped up weapons development despite limited resources and pandemic-related difficulties. North Korea has also severed all inter-Korean cooperation while expressing anger over U.S.-South Korea military exercises and Seoul’s inability to wrest concessions from Washington on its behalf.
Before its resumption of long-range testing last month, the North had spent the much of the past three years expanding its arsenal of nuclear-capable short-range missiles threatening South Korea.
Experts say those missiles, which could potentially be armed with “tactical” battlefield nuclear weapons, communicate the North’s threat to use smaller nuclear arms even during conventional warfare to overcome the stronger conventional forces of South Korea and the U.S. The U.S. stations about 28,500 soldiers in the South to deter North Korean aggression.
Moon’s term ends in May, when he will be replaced by conservative Yoon Suk Yeol, who could possibly take a harder line on Pyongyang.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Biden’s special envoy for North Korea, Sung Kim, plans to meet his Chinese counterpart in Washington to discuss the North’s growing threat. China, Pyongyang’s major ally and economic lifeline, has repeatedly called for the easing of U.N. Security Council sanctions against the North, citing the economic toll on civilians.

https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Akanu-border-needs-container-terminal-Donald-Agumenu-1507310 | Former Special Aide to late President Jerry John Rawlings, Dr Donald Agumenu, has asked government to consider the establishment of a container terminal at the Akanu Border at Dzodze-Penyi in the Volta Region to help create jobs and generate revenue for national development.
He said the volume of trade through the Border linking Togo-Benin-Nigeria made it an important economic hotspot that required the needed attention.
He urged the governments of Ghana and Togo to collaborate and work towards such a facility for immense economic benefit to both countries.
Dr Agumenu said the container terminal would help to decongest the Lome Port and added that: “The investment that has been done by the government of Ghana in the trans-ECOWAS highway road infrastructure will pay more dividends to the two neighbouring countries and ECOWAS at large if we situate a container terminal there.
“The local economy of Ketu North and the Volta Region will immediately be revolutionised as jobs will be created and revenue will increase,” he said.
A container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are transhipped between different transport vehicles for onward transportation. Full complement of port services, including customs inspection, payment of taxes/duties and goods clearance can legally take place at container terminals.
Monitoring reports suggest that large volumes of imported goods pass through the Lome Port in Togo for onward transit via road to Ghana, Cote D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali.
The Akanu Border in Dzodze-Penyi has over the years become a conduit for long haulage trucks.

Dr Agumenu said the container terminal would help to decongest the Lome Port and added that: “The investment that has been done by the government of Ghana in the trans-ECOWAS highway road infrastructure will pay more dividends to the two neighbouring countries and ECOWAS at large if we situate a container terminal there.
“The local economy of Ketu North and the Volta Region will immediately be revolutionised as jobs will be created and revenue will increase,” he said.
A container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are transhipped between different transport vehicles for onward transportation. Full complement of port services, including customs inspection, payment of taxes/duties and goods clearance can legally take place at container terminals.
Monitoring reports suggest that large volumes of imported goods pass through the Lome Port in Togo for onward transit via road to Ghana, Cote D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali.

https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/hungarys-orban-popular-at-home-isolated-abroad-after-win/ | BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — As Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban prepares to continue his autocratic governance of Hungary for another four years, he faces a shattered opposition at home but an increasingly isolated position abroad, where his flouting of democratic standards and approach to the war in Ukraine has riled the European Union and other nations.
On Sunday, as officials from his right-wing Fidesz party gathered at an election night event on the Danube river in Budapest, Orban told supporters that their landslide victory in the country’s national election was a message to Europe that his model of “illiberal democracy” was a prophecy for the continent’s future.
“The whole world has seen tonight in Budapest that Christian democratic politics, conservative civic politics and patriotic politics have won. We are telling Europe that this is not the past, this is the future, our common European future,” Orban said.
But while Orban’s party won 53% of the vote in Hungary, convincing Europe to get on board won’t be so easy. Orban already faces heavy pressure in the EU to change tack on his approach to corruption, minority rights and media freedom, and as war rages in neighboring Ukraine, his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin have alienated even some of his closest allies.
During Hungary’s election campaign, a Western-looking coalition of opposition parties challenging Orban called for Hungary to support its embattled neighbor and act in lockstep with its EU and NATO partners.
Yet Orban, considered to be Putin’s closest ally in the EU, insisted that Hungary remain neutral and maintain its close economic ties with Moscow, including continuing to import Russian gas and oil on favorable terms.
The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Saturday depicted the Hungarian leader as out of touch with the rest of Europe, which has united to condemn Putin, support sanctions against Russia and send aid including weapons to Ukraine.
“He is virtually the only one in Europe to openly support Mr. Putin,” Zelenskyy said.
Yet while speaking to supporters on Sunday, Orban singled out Zelenskyy as part of the “overwhelming force” that he said his party had struggled against in the election — “the left at home, the international left, the Brussels bureaucrats, the Soros empire with all its money, the international mainstream media, and in the end, even the Ukrainian president.”
Orban’s antagonistic approach to Zelenskyy and conspicuous caution around damaging relations with Russia, even as Moscow is accused of committing war crimes in Ukraine, has led to fault lines appearing among his European friends.
Poland, also governed by a right-wing populist government, is Hungary’s most loyal partner in the EU. But speaking to Polish public radio in the week before Hungary’s vote, ruling party leader and Orban ally Jaroslaw Kaczynski said he was displeased with Orban’s stance on Russia.
“We will see what will happen after the elections and then this assessment can be finally formulated. But we are not happy,” Kaczynski said.
Hungary’s vote had been expected to be the closest since Orban took power in 2010, thanks to the country’s six main opposition parties putting aside their ideological differences to form a united front against Fidesz.
But with 99% of votes counted in the election for the country’s 199-seat parliament, Fidesz held 53% of the vote while the opposition coalition, steeply underperforming expectations, had 35%.
Edit Zgut, a political scientist at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, predicted that the clear victory for Orban would allow him to move further in an autocratic direction, sidelining dissidents and capturing new areas of the economy.
“Hungary seems to have reached a point of no return,” she said. “The key lesson is that the playing field is tilted so much that it became almost impossible to replace Fidesz in elections.”
Orban — a fierce critic of immigration, LGBTQ rights and “EU bureaucrats” — has garnered the admiration of right-wing nationalists across Europe and North America.
Along with the parliamentary election, a referendum on LGBTQ issues was held on Sunday with questions pertaining to sex education programs in schools and the availability to children of information about sex reassignment. Participation failed to reach the 50% threshold to make it legally binding, with 20% of voters spoiling their ballots, part of an opposition initiative to sabotage the referendum which it decried as homophobic. Of the 44% of voters who cast valid votes, more than 92% voted with the government’s position
In a surprise performance, radical right-wing party Our Homeland Movement appeared to have garnered more than 6% of the vote, exceeding the 5% threshold needed to gain seats in parliament.
Opposition parties and international observers have notedstructural impediments to defeating Orban, highlighting pervasive pro-government bias in the public media, the domination of commercial news outlets by Orban allies and a heavily gerrymandered electoral map.
Speaking to supporters in Budapest late Sunday, opposition leader Peter Marki-Zay conceded defeat but argued that Fidesz had won under a system of its own making.
“We knew in advance that it would be an extremely unequal fight,” Marki-Zay said. “We do not dispute that Fidesz won this election. That this election was democratic and free is, of course, something we continue to dispute.”

On Sunday, as officials from his right-wing Fidesz party gathered at an election night event on the Danube river in Budapest, Orban told supporters that their landslide victory in the country’s national election was a message to Europe that his model of “illiberal democracy” was a prophecy for the continent’s future.
“The whole world has seen tonight in Budapest that Christian democratic politics, conservative civic politics and patriotic politics have won. We are telling Europe that this is not the past, this is the future, our common European future,” Orban said.
But while Orban’s party won 53% of the vote in Hungary, convincing Europe to get on board won’t be so easy. Orban already faces heavy pressure in the EU to change tack on his approach to corruption, minority rights and media freedom, and as war rages in neighboring Ukraine, his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin have alienated even some of his closest allies.
During Hungary’s election campaign, a Western-looking coalition of opposition parties challenging Orban called for Hungary to support its embattled neighbor and act in lockstep with its EU and NATO partners.
Yet Orban, considered to be Putin’s closest ally in the EU, insisted that Hungary remain neutral and maintain its close economic ties with Moscow, including continuing to import Russian gas and oil on favorable terms.
The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Saturday depicted the Hungarian leader as out of touch with the rest of Europe, which has united to condemn Putin, support sanctions against Russia and send aid including weapons to Ukraine.
“He is virtually the only one in Europe to openly support Mr. Putin,” Zelenskyy said.
Yet while speaking to supporters on Sunday, Orban singled out Zelenskyy as part of the “overwhelming force” that he said his party had struggled against in the election — “the left at home, the international left, the Brussels bureaucrats, the Soros empire with all its money, the international mainstream media, and in the end, even the Ukrainian president.”
Orban’s antagonistic approach to Zelenskyy and conspicuous caution around damaging relations with Russia, even as Moscow is accused of committing war crimes in Ukraine, has led to fault lines appearing among his European friends.
Poland, also governed by a right-wing populist government, is Hungary’s most loyal partner in the EU. But speaking to Polish public radio in the week before Hungary’s vote, ruling party leader and Orban ally Jaroslaw Kaczynski said he was displeased with Orban’s stance on Russia.
“We will see what will happen after the elections and then this assessment can be finally formulated. But we are not happy,” Kaczynski said.
Hungary’s vote had been expected to be the closest since Orban took power in 2010, thanks to the country’s six main opposition parties putting aside their ideological differences to form a united front against Fidesz.
But with 99% of votes counted in the election for the country’s 199-seat parliament, Fidesz held 53% of the vote while the opposition coalition, steeply underperforming expectations, had 35%.
Edit Zgut, a political scientist at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, predicted that the clear victory for Orban would allow him to move further in an autocratic direction, sidelining dissidents and capturing new areas of the economy.
“Hungary seems to have reached a point of no return,” she said. “The key lesson is that the playing field is tilted so much that it became almost impossible to replace Fidesz in elections.”
Orban — a fierce critic of immigration, LGBTQ rights and “EU bureaucrats” — has garnered the admiration of right-wing nationalists across Europe and North America.
Along with the parliamentary election, a referendum on LGBTQ issues was held on Sunday with questions pertaining to sex education programs in schools and the availability to children of information about sex reassignment. Participation failed to reach the 50% threshold to make it legally binding, with 20% of voters spoiling their ballots, part of an opposition initiative to sabotage the referendum which it decried as homophobic. Of the 44% of voters who cast valid votes, more than 92% voted with the government’s position
In a surprise performance, radical right-wing party Our Homeland Movement appeared to have garnered more than 6% of the vote, exceeding the 5% threshold needed to gain seats in parliament.
Opposition parties and international observers have notedstructural impediments to defeating Orban, highlighting pervasive pro-government bias in the public media, the domination of commercial news outlets by Orban allies and a heavily gerrymandered electoral map.
Speaking to supporters in Budapest late Sunday, opposition leader Peter Marki-Zay conceded defeat but argued that Fidesz had won under a system of its own making.
“We knew in advance that it would be an extremely unequal fight,” Marki-Zay said. “We do not dispute that Fidesz won this election. That this election was democratic and free is, of course, something we continue to dispute.”

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220404/Higher-cereal-fiber-intake-associated-with-lower-inflammation.aspx | Low-grade systemic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of various diseases including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. However, modifiable factors that are capable of reducing inflammation can help to modulate disease risk. For example, a higher dietary intake of fiber is associated with lower systemic inflammation in healthy adults as well as adults with certain health conditions.
Study: Intake and Sources of Dietary Fiber, Inflammation, and Cardiovascular Disease in Older US Adults. Image Credit: Antonina Vlasova / Shutterstock.com
Background
Data on the association between fiber and inflammation for older adults with higher levels of inflammation are limited. Furthermore, there also remains a lack of information on whether the source of fiber affects inflammation differently in a healthy population.
To date, most studies on inflammation and dietary fiber have been focused on circulating concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is an acute-phase protein, along with inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Therefore, further investigation on the association between dietary fiber and systemic inflammation is required for the selection of interventions that would target specific aspects of inflammation.
The knowledge regarding the association between dietary fiber and inflammation is important for CVD, as higher intakes of dietary fiber have been associated with a lower risk of CVD. A common explanation for this association is that higher dietary fiber lowers inflammation which, in turn, lowers the risk of CVD. However, knowledge regarding whether and to what extent dietary fiber reduces inflammation and CVD risk is lacking.
A new JAMA Network Open study assesses the association between total and source-specific dietary fiber intakes with markers of inflammasome activation, acute-phase inflammation (CRP), and inflammatory cytokines along with incident CVD.
About the study
The current study included 4,125 participants from Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) in the United States who were aged 65 years or above and enrolled from 1989 to 1990. The participants were asked to complete a food frequency questionnaire that helped to estimate their total fiber intake, total energy, and source of fiber intake.
Blood samples were collected from the participants to measure different circulating markers. All participants were followed-up through alternating in-person visits and telephone calls from baseline through 1999. After 1999, participants were followed-up with by telephone until June 2015.
Study findings
Out of the 4,125 participants, 95% were White, 4.4% were Black, 0.3% were Native American, 0.1% were Asian or Pacific Islander, and 0.2% were classified as other ethnicities. Out of the total study population, 40% were men and 60% were women, with a mean age of 72.6 years.
The mean energy-adjusted total fiber intake was 16.3 grams per day (g/d), with a mean cereal fiber intake of 4.2 g/d, fruit fiber intake of 5.2 g/d, and vegetable fiber intake of 6.9 g/d.
The individuals with the lowest intake of total fibers were most likely to be Black, men, have less than high school education, drink more alcohol, are current or former smokers, and engage in less physical activity. These individuals were also found to have a lower intake of vegetables.
An increase in total fiber intake of 5 g/d was associated with lower concentrations of CRP and IL-1 receptor antagonists (IL-1RA). However, an increase in total fiber intake of 5 g/d was associated with higher concentrations of soluble CD163 (sCD163), which plays a role in macrophage or monocyte activation.
An increase in cereal fiber intake by 5 g/d was also associated with lower concentrations of CRP, IL-1RA, and IL-6, while an increase in fruit fiber intake was associated with higher concentrations of sCD163. However, an increase in vegetable fiber intake was not associated with any markers.
Additionally, an increase in total fiber and cereal fiber intake by 5 g/d was associated with a lower risk of CVD. The CVD subtype estimated by the hazard ratio was similar to stroke for cereal fiber but not myocardial infarction and atherosclerotic coronary heart disease death. The results also indicated that the effect of cereal fiber on CVD was not mediated by inflammatory markers for the majority of the markers.
Conclusions
The current study suggests that a higher intake of cereal fiber can be associated with lower levels of inflammation in older individuals. However, inflammation was found to have a modest role in the mediation of the inverse association between CVD and cereal fiber. Thus, factors other than inflammation might have a bigger role in the cereal fiber-associated reduction in CVD, which needs to be assessed further.
Limitations
The current study did not include certain information on additional immune markers. additional limitations were that the study comprised measurement error and there was a limited ability to generalize the findings, as it was conducted with only older adults.

The results showed that total fiber, and more specifically cereal fiber but not fruit or vegetable fiber, was consistently associated with lower inflammation and lower CVD incidence. Until now there had been limited data on the link between fiber and inflammation among older adults, who have higher levels of inflammation compared with younger adults. The study findings are published in JAMA Network Open.
The research includes data from a large and well-characterized prospective cohort of elderly individuals, with detailed data on dietary intake, inflammation, and incidence of CVD. The research confirmed previously observed associations between dietary fiber and CVD and extended those investigations to include the source of the fiber, the relationship of fiber with multiple inflammatory markers, and to test whether inflammation mediated the relationship between dietary fiber and CVD.
Of the 4125 adults enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study from 1989 to 1990 participants received a food frequency questionnaire that was administered to those without prevalent CVD at enrollment and then were followed up visits for development CVD (stroke, myocardial infarction, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular death) through June 2015. Blood samples were assessed for markers of inflammation.
“Higher intakes of dietary fiber is associated with lower CVD risk. A common hypothesis has been that higher fiber intakes reduce inflammation, subsequently leading to lower CVD risk”
said Rupak Shivakoti, PhD, assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School. ‘With findings from this study, we are now learning that one particular type of dietary fiber – cereal fiber – but not fruit or vegetable fiber was associated with lower inflammation. With findings from this study we now are learning that cereal fiber has the potential to reduce inflammation and will need to be tested in future interventional studies.”
Although there are data to suggest that fiber in general might have anti-inflammatory effects by improving gut function, modifying diet and satiety (eg, reduced fat and total energy intake), and improving lipid and glucose profile metabolism, why cereal fiber but not vegetable or fruit fiber is associated with lower inflammation is not clear and warrants further investigation, noted Shivakoti. Further, he notes that it is not clear whether cereal fiber per se or other nutrients in foods rich in cereal fiber are driving the observed relationships.
“Additionally, we learned that inflammation had only a modest role in mediating the observed inverse association between cereal fiber and CVD,” observed Shivakoti. “This suggests that factors other than inflammation may play a larger role in the cereal fiber–associated reduction in CVD and will need to be tested in future interventions of specific populations.

Rupak Shivakoti, Ph.D., from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health in New York City, and colleagues assessed baseline (1989 to 1990) dietary intake among 4,125 older adults (65 years or older). Inflammatory markers were assessed at baseline, while incident CVD was evaluated through June 2015.
The researchers found that an increase in total fiber intake of 5 g/day was associated with significantly lower concentrations of C-reactive protein (adjusted mean difference, −0.05) and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (adjusted mean difference, −0.04), but with higher concentrations of soluble CD163 (adjusted mean difference, 0.05). Only cereal fiber was consistently associated with lower inflammation, as well as lower CVD incidence (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.90; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.81 to 1.00). For the association of cereal fiber and CVD, the proportion mediated by inflammatory markers ranged from 1.5 percent for interleukin 18 to 14.2 percent for C-reactive protein and 16.1 percent for their primary principal component.
“Higher intakes of cereal fiber, but not vegetable or fruit fiber, were associated with lower levels of inflammation in older adults,” the authors write. “Cereal fiber may have a role in attempts to reduce systemic inflammation, and this finding will need to be studied further.”

- David Smith was arrested last August at his rented flat in Potsdam
- It was alleged that the 57-year-old had offered names of British officials to Russian spies
- Extradition decision was made in late March and he will arrive back in UK on Wednesday
- He will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday morning
A British security guard accused of spying for Russia at the UK embassy in Berlin will be extradited to London this week after losing his battle to stay in Germany.
David Smith was arrested last August after it was alleged that he had offered names of British officials to Russian spies.
The former employee of the British embassy in Berlin, 57, will arrive back in the UK on Wednesday.
On Thursday morning he will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
David Smith (pictured) was arrested last August after it was alleged that he had offered names of British officials to Russian spies
Speaking to the Telegraph, the state court of Brandenburg said that it had accepted an extradition request by the Government.
Mr Smith had been detained in Germany on suspicion of spying for Russia.
The extradition decision was made in late March, according to a court spokesman, after the request was made at the end of 2021 by British authorities.
The 57-year-old was arrested at home in Potsdam last summer after German and British security services discovered he had been giving information to Russia for money.
It was alleged that he had been giving the information to Russia since at least November 2020.
According to their findings, Mr Smith is believed to have sold information about people entering and leaving the embassy.
The alleged material that was passed on is said to have been classified below secret level.

David Smith, a former employee of the British embassy in Berlin, was arrested last August having allegedly offered names of British officials to Russian spies.
The 57-year-old is due to arrive back in the UK on Wednesday and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday morning.
The state court of Brandenburg told The Telegraph on Monday that it had accepted an extradition request by the Government for Mr Smith, who has been in German custody on suspicion of spying for Russia.
A court spokesman said that the decision had been made in late March after British authorities first requested extradition at the end of 2021.
Mr Smith was arrested at his home in Potsdam, 21 miles west of Berlin, last summer after a joint investigation by German and British security services found that he had been selling information to Russia since at least Nov 2020.
He is believed to have sold information about people entering and leaving the embassy.
The Telegraph understands that the material allegedly passed was classified below secret level.
Mr Smith’s lawyer said last December that he would fight the extradition request, arguing that the former security guard had left the UK 16 years ago and now saw Germany as his home country.
German legal practise generally hands down milder prison terms for the sale of state secrets than under Britain’s Official Secrets Act.
Pictures taken at the time of Mr Smith’s arrest revealed that he had a giant Russian flag in plain sight in his flat, as well as a collection of Soviet military caps.
His shelves were laden with volumes of military history, while a small East German flag was on the mantelpiece. A Russian naval shield lay on the desk, while a toy dog wore the green hat of the Russian border guards service.
Foreign Office sources at the time stressed that all private contractors working at British embassies are subject to strict checks. |

Wednesday 6 April 2022 16:53, UK
A security guard at the British embassy in Berlin suspected of spying for Russia has been extradited from Germany and will appear in a UK court on Thursday, police have said.
David Smith, 57, was arrested by German police on 10 August last year and is accused of collecting information from the British embassy in Berlin intending to pass it to a foreign state.
One of the nine charges relates to allegations he passed information to a person he believed was a representative of the Russian state, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
The Metropolitan Police said that he is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday 7 April.
The alleged offences were committed between October 2020 and August 2021.
Smith, who was employed as a security guard at the British Embassy in Berlin, was extradited back to the UK from Germany on 6 April following his arrest by German police last August.
Nick Price, Head of Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division at the CPS, said: "David Smith has been charged with nine offences contrary to the Official Secrets Act.
"He is accused of seven offences of collecting information with the intent of sending it to the Russian authorities, one of attempting communication and one of providing information to a person he believed was a member of the Russian authorities.
"After reviewing the case and authorising charges, we obtained an extradition warrant and worked closely with our German counterparts in order to bring Mr Smith back to the UK." |

https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/dangerous-conditions-inside-clearwater-parking-garage-reported-long-before-fatal-accident/ | PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A new report outlines dangerous conditions in The Plymouth Plaza parking garage before the partial collapse of a stairwell killed Mitchel Klock, 23, on Dec. 21, 2021.
Klock was a welder, hired to make repairs to the garage. The report said he was on a ladder inside the stairwell working to remove and replace brackets holding up parts of the concrete stairwell.
The report said a letter from the City of Clearwater dated July 19, 2021 warned of major safety issues in the garage.
The letter stated: “It is in a deteriorated condition that creates a serious hazard to the health, safety and welfare of the public. Items that must be corrected include, but are not limited to, what is shown on the enclosed inspection report.
All items on the attached report must be corrected. You are hereby ordered to repair or demolish this structure within the limits of all building and zoning regulations.
Should you elect to repair this structure, you are required to submit drawings showing how this is to be accomplished, secure all necessary permits, and commence work no later than seven (7) calendar days from receipt of this notice. Work is to be continued to completion within twenty (20) calendar days following issuance of the permit.“
Despite the warning, people were still parked in the garage on the day Klock was killed.
Michael Brookhart is a former maintenance engineer who worked on the property and said he called the city to warn of potential problems after he saw the condo collapse over the summer.
“Nobody should have been working in that parking garage at that time, as you can see based on the report,” said Brookhart after seeing the new report.
Photos contained in the report showed rusting brackets and areas inside the garage where chunks of concrete fell off.
“I feared for my life when I started at that job in 2008 when I saw that parking garage and I started to complain then,” Brookhart said.
Despite his warnings and the letter from the city no one was prevented from parking in the garage.
“I mean they did see signs of deterioration but the actual events that occurred were the result of somebody doing maintenance to correct the deterioration. None of the engineer reports indicated the structure was uninhabitable at the time it just indicated it needed to be addressed and unfortunately this tragedy unfolded when they were addressing the issues,” Clearwater Police Chief Daniel Slaughter said.
Brookhart said he is devastated by what happened to the victim.
“My heart goes out to the family, to the wife,” Brookhart said I’m deeply saddened by that. This should have never happened, this was totally avoidable.” | 0 | 77,635 | 0.691366 | https://news.yahoo.com/no-major-criminal-charges-expected-153700933.html | 2022-04-04 16:54:25+00:00 | No major criminal charges expected in fatal Clearwater garage collapse, official says
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Bruce BartlettAmerican historian
CLEARWATER — No major criminal charges are expected stemming from the stairwell collapse that killed a 23-year-old welder in December, Pinellas County’s top prosecutor said Monday.
Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bruce Bartlett said his office has received the Clearwater Police Department’s investigation of the collapse that killed Mitchel Klock and that no major charges are expected.
“Unless factually, when we review it, we see something they did not,” Bartlett said.
However, Bartlett said prosecutors are considering whether to file a misdemeanor unlicensed contractor charge against one of the companies involved.
According to a Clearwater police report released Monday along with other records, the company that hired Klock as a subcontractor, Forgue General Contracting of Lakeland, to make repairs on the structure was not licensed in Pinellas County at the time of the collapse. The company was properly licensed with the state, the report shows.
A message left with Forgue General Contracting was not immediately returned Monday.
The records released Monday do not indicate a cause of the collapse, which is under investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. A message left for OSHA officials on Monday was not immediately returned.
But the records do shed more light on what Klock was doing at the time when the stairwell of the garage at 26750 U.S. 19 fell on him. And they indicate that an engineering report completed on the structure before the collapse did not find any existing “life safety issues.”
Meantime, probate court records indicate that Klock’s widow Alexis is considering a wrongful death lawsuit in the case.
The day after the collapse, the Tampa Bay Times reported how city records revealed that repairs on the stairwell began before an application for the work was submitted and months after the city of Clearwater determined the garage was potentially unsafe, requiring inspection by a structural engineer.
The building’s owner, Plymouth Plaza LLC, did not submit the required engineering report before the repairs began, records show.
In addition, a former maintenance engineer who worked for the previous owner told the Times that he had raised concerns for years about deterioration of the building from water damage. The engineer, Michael Brookhart, left the company in 2016 but said he called a Clearwater building official in July to repeat his concerns after the deadly collapse of a condominium tower in Surfside.
According to the police report released Monday, a Plymouth official told investigators that the report was obtained before the work began and that it stated there were “no current life safety issues.”
Zev Freidus, listed as a registered agent for Plymouth LLC, declined to comment Monday when reached by the Times.
The police investigation report notes that Jason Cantrell, a certified building inspector for the city, received Brookhart’s complaint about the building on July 15 and completed an inspection that day. Cantrell was directed by his superiors to issue an unsafe building notice on July 19 “due to signs of deterioration” in various of the garage. The notice gave Plymouth Plaza LLC 20 days to complete the work.
Cantrell emailed Plymouth Plaza co-owner Elliot Katz on July 28 saying he could disregard the compliance date on the notice and that he would not be moving forward with enforcement at that time. On Oct. 12, Cantrell sent a follow-up email to Katz to see how things were going with the garage.
Katz responded the same day.
“Katz advised Cantrell he finally has found a reputable company to take the job and they are getting engineering,” the report says.
Katz later told officials he’d hired Korson & Son Builders to complete work on the building. Katz explained he was notified by Korson “two more weeks which turned into eight weeks.”
Katz then paid Korson money to hire the structural engineer, Dansco Engineering, LLC, who completed the engineering report. Katz said the report “stated there are no current life safety issues.”
After receiving the report, Katz hired Forgue General Contracting to fix the issues. Katz did not submit the engineering report to the city or apply for a permit for the work as required, records show
Forgue General Contracting hired Klock, who owned M. Klock Welding services, to make repairs on the parking garage’s stairwells, records show.
Demorris Matthews, an employee and friend of Klock’s, told police that just before the collapse, they were in the process of removing and replacing rusted brackets that attach the stairs to the landing of the parking garage. They’d started from the top floor and worked their way down.,
Matthews said Klock was on the bottom floor stairwell cutting the last of four brackets that needed to be replaced and Matthews was grinding and cleaning the area where the brackets had been cut.
Then the stairwell suddenly collapsed without warning, Matthews said. He said he didn’t see what happened “because it happened to fast,” the report says. He called out for Klock but heard no reply.
Crews had to demolish the stairwell to recover Klock’s body two days later. An autopsy report shows Klock suffered multiple blunt force injuries and his cause of death was blunt trauma.
Listed among Klock’s assets in probate documents is a “chose in action,” also known as a right to sue, “for wrongful death.” As Alexis Klock’s attorneys worked to ensure she was recognized as the personal representative of the estate, they sought a speedy ruling “to avoid further delay in the administration of the Estate and the pursuit of the wrongful death claim,” a court petition states.
“The filing of the wrongful death action is time sensitive, particularly due to the risk of spoilation or other loss of evidence,” the petition states.
An attorney representing Alexis Klock did not immediately return a message Monday. |

Fortunately, the Baltimore City Fire Department confirmed no one was injured.
The cause of the collapse is not known yet, and building inspectors and engineers are working to assess the structure. Speculations mount that a new concrete ramp installed five years ago is to blame. To install the ramp, workers cut through the concrete ceiling between the ground level and the second floor, right in the collapsed area. This could’ve compromised the integrity of the structure.
Fortunately, no one was hurt in the accident that happened around 10 am at the entrance at 1 E. Pratt St., according to the Baltimore City Fire Department. They found no signs of anyone trapped or hurt during an initial scan and floor-by-floor search of the garage, Assistant Chief Dante Stewart said. Nevertheless, for Scott McConnell, the guy that drove into the garage moments before the collapse, it was a terrifying experience.
“Put the car in park and I watch the ceiling in front of me drop, it just went,” he told CBS News. “The section of the second floor just fell into the gate, took it out.”
The main photo was taken right from where he was parked. McConnell got out of his car, called 911, and ensured no one was trapped or calling for help. It was a miracle that no one was hurt and no vehicle was damaged when the concrete ceiling collapsed. But around 50 cars were trapped inside because the garage accessway was blocked by debris. McConnell himself was affected, unable to take his car out to go home, 75 miles away in Pennsylvania.
“I asked if I could get a rental car or what about a hotel room because I’m stranded here tonight, and then they told me no,” McConnell said.
The fire department said that the garage owners and managers are responsible for annual facility inspections. Despite that, the last check was in 2017, right before the works to install the new ramp started.

The collapse occurred at the entrance of the garage. There were no injuries nor cars trapped underneath the rubble at the entrance, according to Baltimore Fire Assistant Chief Dante Stewart.
“We are grateful that there was no one injured,” Mayor Brandon Scott said at a press conference Friday. “This could have been a severe tragedy.”
The garage’s entrance remains completely blocked off. Crew members used saws to cut through screens to enter the ground level and the side stairs of the garage. Most of the garage, located at 1 E Pratt St., remains stable and Stewart said no further collapse is anticipated.
Charles Street will be closed indefinitely between Pratt Street and Conway Street as the fire crew continues to investigate the scene and clear the damage. The high-traffic area in the Inner Harbor sits between the large Hyatt Regency and Sheraton hotels.
While parking in the structure is managed by SP+, the garage is owned by Banyan Street Capital, a real estate company based in Miami.
Afternoon Update
“We are aware of the incident at One East Pratt in which part of a parking deck ramp collapsed. As a safety precaution, we have secured the surrounding area and closed all entry points into the garage. At this time, there are no bodily injuries and no known vehicular damage,” Banyan Street Capital said in an email. “We are cooperating with a structural engineer with the City of Baltimore, who is onsite to determine the cause of the partial ramp collapse.”
Stewart said a car entered the garage just before the floor above the entrance collapsed. The driver made it through safely and the car was not damaged. There are 50 cars in the garage currently across all three levels, Stewart said. Those with cars in the garage will need to wait for updates from Standard Parking Plus on when they can retrieve their vehicles.
The garage is inspected yearly, though Stewart said he did not know when the garage was built nor when it was last inspected.
The E Pratt Street property received a renovation permit April 27 to demolish a limited number of non-load bearing partitions and build new ones as well as update doors and hardware to meet Baltimore’s building codes. The permit expires October 27. It’s unclear if these renovations have been completed.
Kenneth Brown, who works at the Sheraton across the street from the garage, arrived around 6:30 a.m. Friday for his shift. He commutes from Washington D.C.
