https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/vigil-honors-henrico-officer-killed-in-crash/ | HENRICO, Va (WRIC) — Henrico Police Officer Trey M. Sutton was honored during a vigil at the county’s police memorial Monday night.
Members of the police force, county government employees, and Sutton’s family were in attendance after the 24-year-old died after suffering critical injuries in a three-vehicle crash Wednesday night at the Chamberlayne and Wilkinson roads intersection.
Sutton, who recently graduated from the police academy, was reportedly behind the wheel while Officer Greg Petrohovich, a field training officer, was also in the car. A person in custody was also in the car when a dodge pickup t-boned the police cruiser.
Petrohovich and the person in custody are still fighting for their lives. The Henrico Sheriff’s Office said Petrohovich “has undergone multiple surgeries,” according to a Facebook post Monday morning.
“His road to recovery will be long and challenging,” the post read.
The Henrico Police Department said visitation for Sutton will be held Tuesday at Victory Tabernacle Church at 11700 Genito Road in Midlothian. The viewing will happen from 5 to 8 p.m., and is open to the public.
Sutton’s funeral will also be at the church, and the service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, before he is laid to rest in Hopewell at Merchants Hope Memorial Gardens. His interment will also be open to the public. | 0 | 77,874 | 0.388371 | https://www.nbc12.com/2022/04/05/henrico-community-continues-pay-their-last-respects-officer-trey-sutton/ | 2022-04-05 17:19:38+00:00 | Henrico community continues to pay their last respects Officer Trey Sutton
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - The Henrico community continues to pay their last respects to 24-year-old Officer Trey Sutton.
Sutton was killed in a three-vehicle crash on March 30th, that sent two others to the hospital with serious injuries. Henrico Police said the officers were coming from a service call when a Dodge pick-up heading south on Chamberlayne Avenue collided with the police cruiser heading west on Wilkinson Road.
To honor his memory, Henrico police and Sutton’s family have planned events to honor a man they said was dedicated to service:
- A visitation will be held on Tuesday, April 5th from 5-8 p.m. at the Victory Tabernacle Church on Genito Road. The viewing is open to the public, and all are welcome to attend.
- A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, April 6th at 11 a.m at the Victory Tabernacle Church. The service is open to the public, and all are welcome to attend.
- Officer Sutton will be interred at Merchants Hope Memorial Garden in Prince George after the service. It is 45 minutes away, and carpooling is encouraged as it is also open to the public.
Sutton, who joined Henrico police in June 2021, graduated from the police academy in February and was training in the department’s patrol bureau at the time of the crash.
A prayer vigil was held in his honor on Monday night. Close friends, families, and fellow officers told stories of Officer Sutton’s life.
He is described as a kind and confident man who dedicated his life to serving others.
Officer Greg Petrohovich was also seriously injured in the crash and is still recovering. The Henrico Police Foundation (HPF) is prepared to accept and distribute donations made on behalf of Officer Sutton or Officer Petrohovich.
The memorial service will also be live-streamed on the county’s YouTube page.

(WRIC) – Fallen Henrico County police officer Trey M. Sutton will be laid to rest this week. The 24-year-old was killed in the line of duty in a three-vehicle crash on Wednesday.
Dozens of police officers, community members and religious leaders joined Sutton’s family Monday night at the Henrico police memorial for a vigil to pay their respects to Sutton.
A crowd filled the area in front of the memorial Monday night, with each person holding a light or poem titled “A Hero’s Welcome” to honor Sutton while musical guests performed songs like “Amazing Grace”.
Sutton, who recently graduated from the police academy, died after suffering critical injuries in a three-vehicle crash last week. A pickup truck t-boned his police cruiser at the Chamberlayne and Wilkinson Road intersection.
County government officials and Henrico Police Chief Eric English spoke at last night’s vigil remembering Sutton.
“None of us want to be here, none of us want to be here, not under these circumstances,” Chief English said to the crowd.
One other officer is still fighting for his life in the hospital. Another person, who was in custody, was also inside the cruiser at the time of the crash. He also has life-threatening injuries.
Sutton’s family will hold a public viewing tonight in Midlothian. The funeral for the fallen officer will be held tomorrow.
The Henrico Police Department said the visitation for Sutton will be held tonight at Victory Tabernacle Church at 11700 Genito Road, Midlothian, Virginia from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and is open to the public.
Sutton’s funeral will be held at the same church at 11 a.m. tomorrow. He will be laid to rest in Hopewell at Merchants Hope Memorial Gardens. His interment will be open to the public.
Henrico Police recommends carpooling to the cemetery because the travel time from the church to the memorial gardens is 45 minutes and there is limited parking. |

Bangladesh has been a leader in rallying other countries to deal with climate crisis that the planet is facing, US Secretary of State Tony Blinken has said.
Blinken and his Bangladeshi counterpart Abdul Momen on Monday discussed a wide range of bilateral and regional issues, including the Rohingya refugee crisis.
Bangladesh has been a leader in rallying other countries to deal with climate crisis that the planet is facing. We deeply appreciate that, and we are working closely together as well on COVID-19, and we are proud to have been able to contribute through COVAX some 61 million vaccine doses to Bangladesh, Blinken said during his bilateral meeting with the visiting Bangladeshi delegation.
Bangladesh, he said, is showing extraordinary humanity and generosity in hosting nearly 1 million Rohingya who have had to flee persecution in Burma.
We are grateful for that, and the work that you have done as one of the strongest supporters of UN peacekeeping around the world, and many other things as well. But we will have an opportunity today to discuss the work we are doing together bilaterally in the region and indeed even globally, he added.
The two countries are celebrating 50 years of their diplomatic relationship. The meeting was held to celebrate and reflect on the 50th anniversary of US-Bangladesh relations, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said. In his remarks, Momen thanked the United States for committing 61 million of vaccines. It has also received USD 31 million for the recent economic assistance.
I also thank you because you have declared the genocide in Myanmar, and we are so happy you did. I hope there will be some repatriation of these persecuted people, he said.
President Joe Biden had also written a letter to Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the occasion of 50 years of diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
The other day we received a letter from President Biden. And it is an excellent letter. It helps what we want to do, Momen said.
It talks about the last 50 years; we have done a remarkable achievement. And the US has been always a friend of Bangladesh, during our bad and good times. And we look forward for a bright future, he added.
And also I would like to say that over the last 50 years, Bangladesh really achieved a lot. We were known to be a bottomless basket, but now we have a vibrant economy, a land of opportunity. And the US has been a great partner and friend, the Bangladeshi minister noted.
Price said the two leaders discussed the tremendous economic potential of the relationship and reflected on the ways both countries have collaborated over the last half century, including growing people-to-people ties.
They also highlighted the ongoing cooperation to address the climate crisis, meet the needs of Rohingya victims of genocide, and promote regional security through UN peacekeeping operations, he said.
Blinken reaffirmed the importance of protecting human rights, the rule of law, and freedom of religion as the basis for safe and prosperous democratic societies, he added.

The meeting was held to celebrate and reflect on the 50th anniversary of US-Bangladesh relations, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said. In his remarks, Momen thanked the United States for committing 61 million of vaccines. It has also received USD 31 million for the recent economic assistance.
I also thank you because you have declared the genocide in Myanmar, and we are so happy you did. I hope there will be some repatriation of these persecuted people, he said.
President Joe Biden had also written a letter to Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the occasion of 50 years of diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
The other day we received a letter from President Biden. And it is an excellent letter. It helps what we want to do, Momen said.
It talks about the last 50 years; we have done a remarkable achievement. And the US has been always a friend of Bangladesh, during our bad and good times. And we look forward for a bright future, he added.
And also I would like to say that over the last 50 years, Bangladesh really achieved a lot. We were known to be a bottomless basket, but now we have a vibrant economy, a land of opportunity. And the US has been a great partner and friend, the Bangladeshi minister noted.
Price said the two leaders discussed the tremendous economic potential of the relationship and reflected on the ways both countries have collaborated over the last half century, including growing people-to-people ties.
They also highlighted the ongoing cooperation to address the climate crisis, meet the needs of Rohingya victims of genocide, and promote regional security through UN peacekeeping operations, he said.
Blinken reaffirmed the importance of protecting human rights, the rule of law, and freedom of religion as the basis for safe and prosperous democratic societies, he added.

"I look forward to seeing what our people will build together in the decades ahead as we continue to follow that star of freedom," he said in a video message celebrating five decades of diplomatic ties between Bangladesh and the United States.
Secretary Blinken thanked Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen and Bangladesh Ambassador to the US M Shahidul Islam "for being the latest stewards of this crucial" relationship. 50 years later, Secretary Blinken said the two countries collaborate virtually on every issue that matters to their people. He said the two countries have forged partnership to improve public health, strengthening local health systems, bringing down maternal mortality in Bangladesh by two thirds over the last two decades and fighting Covid-19 with 61 million doses of safe, effective vaccines provided by the United States to Bangladeshis. Secretary Blinken said, the US bought more Bangladeshi products than any other country did
in 2021, representing some US$ 8.3 billion. "We encourage Bangladesh to make progress on workers' rights to deepen our robust economic partnership."
He mentioned about joint efforts in tackling clime crisis, Bangladesh's contributions to peacekeeping and Rohingya crisis noting that the Rohingyas have fled genocide and crimes against humanity committed by the military in Myanmar. |

Bangladesh has been a leader in rallying other countries to deal with climate crisis that the planet is facing, US Secretary of State Tony Blinken has said.
Blinken and his Bangladeshi counterpart Abdul Momen on Monday discussed a wide range of bilateral and regional issues, including the Rohingya refugee crisis.
Bangladesh has been a leader in rallying other countries to deal with climate crisis that the planet is facing. We deeply appreciate that, and we are working closely together as well on COVID-19, and we are proud to have been able to contribute through COVAX some 61 million vaccine doses to Bangladesh, Blinken said during his bilateral meeting with the visiting Bangladeshi delegation.
Bangladesh, he said, is showing extraordinary humanity and generosity in hosting nearly 1 million Rohingya who have had to flee persecution in Burma.
We are grateful for that, and the work that you have done as one of the strongest supporters of UN peacekeeping around the world, and many other things as well. But we will have an opportunity today to discuss the work we are doing together bilaterally in the region and indeed even globally, he added.

Russia denies accusations, calls for UN meet after ‘bodies of 410 civilians were recovered near Kyiv
U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday called for a war crimes trial over the alleged atrocities against civilians in Bucha, Ukraine, and said he wants more sanctions imposed on Russia.
Calling President Vladimir Putin “a war criminal” and the killings “a war crime,” Mr. Biden told reporters there should be “a war crimes trial.”
Mr. Biden has called Mr. Putin a war criminal in the past, provoking an angry response from the Kremlin.
“You may remember I got criticised,” he said. “Well the truth of the matter is, you saw what happened in Bucha... This guy is brutal and what’s happening to Bucha is outrageous and everyone’s seen it.”
Mr. Putin “is a war criminal,” he said — but he added that “we have to gather all the details” to be able to have a trial.
International journalists over the weekend found corpses in civilian clothes, some with their hands bound, in the town of Bucha outside Ukraine’s capital after Kyiv’s forces retook it from Russia’s Army.
The scale of the killings is still being pieced together. On Sunday, Ukrainian prosecutor general Iryna Venediktova said 410 civilian bodies had been recovered in the wider Kyiv region after Russian troops pulled back.
Ukraine and Western leaders have erupted in outrage over the deaths in Bucha.
Earlier on Monday, the Kremlin rejected accusations that Russian forces were responsible for killing civilians near Kyiv and suggested images of corpses were “fakes”.
“We categorically reject all allegations,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.
Mr. Peskov said that Russian “experts at the Ministry of Defence have identified signs of video fakes and various fakes”.
“We would demand that many international leaders do not rush to sweeping accusations and at least listen to our arguments,”Mr. Peskov said.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has called for a special UN Security Council meeting on Monday to address what it said was a “heinous provocation” to blame Russian forces.
Russian investigators also announced a probe into the images, saying that according to Moscow’s military they “do not correspond to reality and are provocative in nature”.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said the civilian deaths would be deemed as “genocide” by international leaders.
“These are war crimes and it will be recognised by the world as genocide,” Mr. Zelensky said during a visit to Bucha.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Monday called for an international investigation into what he termed a “genocide”.
The U.S. also said it would seek to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said urgent discussions were underway on tougher sanctions against Russia.
Humanitarian crisis
Russia has redoubled its efforts in Ukraine’s south and east, including strikes on Sunday on the strategic Black Sea port of Odessa.
Meanwhile, the United Nations said that more than 4.2 million Ukrainian refugees have now fled the country since the Russian invasion, adding that the humanitarian situation was worsening.

Monday, April 04, 2022WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Monday called for a war crimes trial against Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he'd seek more sanctions after reported atrocities in Ukraine.
“You saw what happened in Bucha,” Biden said. He added that Putin “is a war criminal”
Biden's comments to reporters came after�Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Bucha,�one of the towns surrounding Kyiv where Ukrainian officials say the bodies of civilians have been found. Zelenskyy called the Russian actions “genocide” and called for the West to apply tougher sanctions against Russia.
Biden, however, stopped short of calling the actions genocide.
The bodies of 410 civilians have been removed from Kyiv-area towns that were recently retaken from Russian forces, Ukraine's prosecutor-general, Iryna Venediktova, said. Associated Press journalists saw the bodies of at least 21 people in various spots around Bucha, northwest of the capital.
“We have to continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to continue the fight. And we have to gather all the detail so this can be an actual -- have a war crimes trial,” Biden said.
Biden lashed out at Putin as “brutal.”
“What's happening in Bucha is outrageous and everyone sees it,” Biden added.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen tweeted Monday that the European Union will send investigators to Ukraine to help the local prosecutor general “document war crimes.
Biden noted that he faced pushback last month�when he described Putin as a war criminal for the unfolding onslaught in Ukraine after hospitals and maternity wards were bombed. In his remarks on Monday, Biden made clear that the label still applied.
“This guy is brutal and what's happening to Bucha is outrageous, and everyone's seen it,” Biden said.
Investigations into Putin's actions had begun before the new allegations of atrocities outside Kyiv.
The U.S. and more than 40 other countries are working together to investigate possible violations and abuses, after the passage of a resolution by the United Nations Human Rights Council to establish a commission of inquiry. There is another probe by the International Criminal Court, an independent body based in the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, Biden's chief envoy to the United Nations, Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, announced Monday that the U.S. plans to seek a suspension of Russia from its seat on the U.N.'s top human rights body in the wake of more indications Russian forces may have committed war crimes in Ukraine. That would require a decision by the U.N. General Assembly.
Russia and the other four permanent members of the U.N. Security Council – Britain, China, France and the United States – all currently have seats on the 47-member-state rights council, which is based in Geneva. The United States rejoined the council this year.

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/lifestyle/3169598/harrison-ford-to-star-in-upcoming-apple-tv-comedy-shrinking/ | Film veteran Harrison Ford will make his debut in upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking.
The Star Wars and Indiana Jones actor will star in the 10-part programme alongside Jason Segel, who is also its writer.
It will be executive produced by Segel as well as Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence and the football comedy’s star Brett Goldstein.
Shrinking follows Segel’s character Jimmy, a grieving therapist who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks.
Ford will play Dr Phil Rhodes, a down-to-earth, “blue-collar shrink, blunt but with an ever present twinkle”.
His character is a pioneer in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which sets him against his intrusive friends and his estranged family.
Shrinking is the second Apple Original starring Segel, who also appeared in The Sky is Everywhere.
Ford is due to reprise his role as the troublesome archaeologist in the fifth instalment of the Indiana Jones franchise from director James Mangold. | 0 | 59,564 | 0 | https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/showbiz/2022/04/05/harrison-ford-to-star-in-upcoming-apple-tv-comedy-shrinking/ | 2022-04-05 03:58:25+00:00 | Film veteran Harrison Ford will make his debut in upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking.

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Dick-Kelsey-beloved-AP-broadcast-editor-dies-at-17057291.php | PHOENIX (AP) — Dick Kelsey, a retired Associated Press broadcast editor who was revered as much for his humor as his hardworking nature, has died after a seven-year battle with cancer. He was 76.
Kelsey died Thursday surrounded by loved ones at his Phoenix home.
The longtime editor never sought attention in the newsroom of AP's West Regional Desk in Phoenix unless it was to share a funny story or sly observation. From the glint in his eye, it was clear when he was about to toss out a joke or his own funny spin on the day's news.
A storyteller at heart, Kelsey regaled co-workers with anecdotes of his exploits in AM radio in Buffalo, New York, in the 1970s and coverage of decades-old stories. He also had an encyclopedic knowledge of rock ‘n’ roll and an uncanny ability to recite an apt lyric from Chuck Berry, Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan that connected with the dominant news story of the day, said Josh Hoffner, AP news editor for national beats and one of Kelsey’s former managers.
“Dick was a talented journalist, a gleeful storyteller and a terrific all-around person who was absolutely adored by his many colleagues and friends at the AP," Hoffner said. "He loved nothing more than rolling up his sleeves and going to work on a big breaking story. His presence in the newsroom was legendary, with his infectious sense of humor, sharp wit and love of puns that never disappointed (even the bad ones).”
Kelsey worked primarily in broadcast during his time in Arizona, editing state news summaries sent to radio and TV stations across the Western U.S. Even when the West Regional Desk — which includes a team of Phoenix reporters — was a hectic hub over a major story, he remained calm.
“Dick was a steady presence on the AP’s west region broadcast desk,” said Chris Havlik, an AP video producer and former broadcast supervisor. "He could always be counted on to keep things light in the newsroom even when he was in the middle of writing and updating news summaries for 13 different states seemingly all at once.”
J. Richard Kelsey was born in Buffalo, New York, and grew up in nearby Lockport. He fell in love with radio and television at a young age. Overcoming a childhood stutter fueled his mission to someday be on the air in whatever medium so people would listen to his voice, said his wife, Sharon.
“That's all he ever wanted to be,” she said. “How many other people are that lucky to get to do exactly what they wanted to do with their life?”
At Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, Kelsey decided to minor in radio-TV and ended up in a few classes with a young David Letterman. Kelsey would confirm that the former “Late Show” TV host was just as hilarious then.
Upon graduation, he was hired at his hometown radio station, WUSJ. He thrived as a disc jockey, newsman and talk show host. From there, Kelsey went to radio stations in Buffalo and Erie, Pennsylvania. By 1980, he moved westward and had broadcast stints in Denver and Austin, Texas.
Kelsey then made the leap into print journalism and spent a few years at the United Press International in Dallas. By the 1990s, he moved to its Denver office and was covering some of the biggest news stories. Among them were 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey's killing and the Oklahoma City bombing trials.
“I think he was quite proud of that — that he was able to juggle all that and get the information, help everybody,” Sharon Kelsey said.
When the UPI/Denver bureau closed, Kelsey took a job as a news director at a radio station and then as a writer/assignment editor at a TV station. In 2005, he landed at the AP as a broadcast editor in Kansas City, Missouri.
Jim Clarke, AP's managing director of local markets, was the news editor who hired Kelsey. Clarke recalls getting a call from Kelsey his first day in town. His new hire had gotten into an accident, and his car — with all his belongings — was totaled. But what stuck out was Kelsey’s resilience.
“He instantly fell into the routine. I mean, I’ve on-boarded a few reporters and editors in my life at the AP, but this guy took to it absolutely like a fish to water,” Clarke said. “The broadcast report instantly improved because he wanted to do a good job.”
Kelsey also enjoyed keeping in touch with anyone he mentored — and not just in journalism. He was very proud of being 28 years sober and using his experience when being a sponsor for someone else.
“He helped other people shine,” Sharon Kelsey said. “He was brilliant in his own way. But it was an unassuming way. ... And I think that’s a real quality.”
Besides his wife, Kelsey is survived by his daughter, Jennifer, son-in-law Eric, grandson Cooper and sister M. Jane Kelsey. A private service is planned.
On his last day before retiring in 2017, Kelsey sent a parting note to colleagues saying he was, for once, speechless.
“This has been a bittersweet day for me, but the sweet part is all the kind words I’ve received by phone, email and IM,” Kelsey wrote. “The past 12 years, 8 months and 15 days (give or take) at The Associated Press have given me a ringside seat to real journalism alongside the best in the business. Stay cool everyone.” | 0 | 6,975 | 0 | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Dick-Kelsey-beloved-AP-broadcast-editor-dies-at-17057291.php | 2022-04-04 22:45:03+00:00 | PHOENIX (AP) — Dick Kelsey, a retired Associated Press broadcast editor who was revered as much for his humor as his hardworking nature, has died after a seven-year battle with cancer. He was 76.
Kelsey died Thursday surrounded by loved ones at his Phoenix home.
The longtime editor never sought attention in the newsroom of AP's West Regional Desk in Phoenix unless it was to share a funny story or sly observation. From the glint in his eye, it was clear when he was about to toss out a joke or his own funny spin on the day's news.
A storyteller at heart, Kelsey regaled co-workers with anecdotes of his exploits in AM radio in Buffalo, New York, in the 1970s and coverage of decades-old stories. He also had an encyclopedic knowledge of rock ‘n’ roll and an uncanny ability to recite an apt lyric from Chuck Berry, Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan that connected with the dominant news story of the day, said Josh Hoffner, AP news editor for national beats and one of Kelsey’s former managers.
“Dick was a talented journalist, a gleeful storyteller and a terrific all-around person who was absolutely adored by his many colleagues and friends at the AP," Hoffner said. "He loved nothing more than rolling up his sleeves and going to work on a big breaking story. His presence in the newsroom was legendary, with his infectious sense of humor, sharp wit and love of puns that never disappointed (even the bad ones).”
Kelsey worked primarily in broadcast during his time in Arizona, editing state news summaries sent to radio and TV stations across the Western U.S. Even when the West Regional Desk — which includes a team of Phoenix reporters — was a hectic hub over a major story, he remained calm.
“Dick was a steady presence on the AP’s west region broadcast desk,” said Chris Havlik, an AP video producer and former broadcast supervisor. "He could always be counted on to keep things light in the newsroom even when he was in the middle of writing and updating news summaries for 13 different states seemingly all at once.”
J. Richard Kelsey was born in Buffalo, New York, and grew up in nearby Lockport. He fell in love with radio and television at a young age. Overcoming a childhood stutter fueled his mission to someday be on the air in whatever medium so people would listen to his voice, said his wife, Sharon.
“That's all he ever wanted to be,” she said. “How many other people are that lucky to get to do exactly what they wanted to do with their life?”
At Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, Kelsey decided to minor in radio-TV and ended up in a few classes with a young David Letterman. Kelsey would confirm that the former “Late Show” TV host was just as hilarious then.
Upon graduation, he was hired at his hometown radio station, WUSJ. He thrived as a disc jockey, newsman and talk show host. From there, Kelsey went to radio stations in Buffalo and Erie, Pennsylvania. By 1980, he moved westward and had broadcast stints in Denver and Austin, Texas.
Kelsey then made the leap into print journalism and spent a few years at the United Press International in Dallas. By the 1990s, he moved to its Denver office and was covering some of the biggest news stories. Among them were 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey's killing and the Oklahoma City bombing trials.
“I think he was quite proud of that — that he was able to juggle all that and get the information, help everybody,” Sharon Kelsey said.

By Anshuman Daga
SINGAPORE, April 5 (Reuters) - Asian stocks ticked up to their highest in more than a month supported by broad gains on Wall Street on Tuesday, while the euro was stuck near a one-week low against the dollar amid talk of more sanctions against Moscow.
The United States and Europe were planning new sanctions to punish Moscow over civilian killings in Ukraine, and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned more deaths were likely to be uncovered in areas seized from Russian invaders.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan traded up 0.16% to 601.3, the strongest since Feb. 24. The benchmark has lost 4% so far this year, dragged by big declines in Chinese shares.
U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday, driven by tech shares.
"Prime broking data in the U.S. continues to indicate the recent recovery in equities is being driven by retail money, which is likely squeezing those who were under positioned or positioned short," Tapas Strickland, director of economics and markets at NAB, said in a note.
"Profit reporting season in the U.S. kicks off next week and it will be interesting to see how firms are interpreting the tea leaves, and whether earnings guidance is revised down," he said.
Global stocks have had a volatile quarter as the Russia-Ukraine crisis and worries over higher commodity prices fuel inflation concerns and cloud the direction of interest rates.
Japan's Nikkei traded flat, the S&P/ASX 200 index was 0.5% higher while South Korean stocks shed 0.2%.
S&P 500 stock futures eased 0.08% and Nasdaq futures slipped 0.06% after Wall Street rose on Monday.
Markets in mainland China and Hong Kong were closed for a public holiday on Tuesday. Shanghai went into a two-stage lockdown last week as authorities worked to contain the city's biggest ever COVID-19 outbreak.
Market focus will be on Australia's central bank's guidance on its response to inflationary pressures though it is expected to hold rates steady at its review later on Tuesday. The Aussie was steady at $0.7543, staying close to Monday's high of $0.75565, a level not seen since July 6.
Europe's single currency was little changed at $1.0973 after dropping as low as $1.0960 in the previous session for the first time since March 28
Global markets are looking to Wednesday's release of minutes from the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting that could offer signs that the U.S. central bank could raise its benchmark overnight interest rate by half a percentage point next month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3% on Monday, the S&P 500 gained 0.81% and the Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.9%. Twitter shares surged 27% on news that Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk has built a 9.2% stake in the micro blogging site.
Oil futures rose in early trading as the potential for more sanctions added to concerns about supply disruptions, while Iran nuclear talks stalled.
Brent crude futures gained 1.6% to $109.25 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were also up 1.6%.
Gold prices ticked down, with spot gold easing 0.1% to $1,929.6 per ounce.

TOKYO, July 22 (Reuters) - Asian stock markets were on course for their best week in months and the dollar held off recent record highs after the European Central Bank (ECB) raised rates for the first time in more than a decade and bets on the size of U.S. rate hikes eased.
Japan's Nikkei (.N225) rose 0.24% on Friday and was on course to make gains for a seventh successive day. It's likely to be the index's best week since March.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS) fell 0.03%, but the index is still set for its best week in about two months.

The euro was trading at $1.019 and on course for its biggest weekly rise against the dollar since late May, after having dipped below parity last week.
The ECB raised interest rates by a bigger-than-expected 50 basis points to zero percent overnight, its first hike in 11 years and ending a policy of negative interest rates that had been in place since 2014. read more
"While the ECB was never going to move by more than 50 bps – as we have seen from many other central banks – the 50 bp lift still came as a surprise to many," said Susan Kilsby, an economist at ANZ, in a note. "But tightening rates quickly has now become the norm."
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index (.HSI) was up 0.14%, extending gains made the previous day after China's cybersecurity regulator fined Didi Global Inc $1.2 billion, potentially signalling an end to the regulatory crackdown and clearing a path for the ride-hailing giant to list in Hong Kong. read more
Tech companies are likely to weigh on U.S. stocks today, with Nasdaq futures down 0.68% after Snap Inc's poor earnings release sounded the alarm among investors.
Snap's accompanying warning of the effect of an economic slowdown on internet companies caused the share price to plummet nearly 27% in after-hours trade. Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) will release its earnings later today. read more
Leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin was down 0.48% at $23,017.15 on Friday but is up more than 10% on the week, which would be its best result since March.
Oil prices rose Friday and looked set for their first weekly gain in more than a month. Brent crude futures were up 1.53% to $105.45 a barrel, and U.S. WTI crude futures rose 1.45% to $97.75.
The U.S. Federal Reserve meets to set interest rates next week and expectations of a 100 bp hike have faded in favour of pricing for a 75 bp move.

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-60988390 | NHS not making progress on early cancer diagnosis
By Nick Triggle
Health correspondent
- Published
The NHS in England is struggling to make progress on its flagship target to diagnose three-quarters of cancer cases at an early stage, MPs are warning.
The Health and Social Care Committee said staffing shortages and disruption from the pandemic were causing delays.
Some 54% of cases are diagnosed at stages one and two, considered vital for increasing the chances of survival.
By 2028, the aim is to diagnose 75% of cases in the early stages, but there has been no improvement in six years.
It means England - as well as other UK nations - lag behind comparable countries such as Australia and Canada when it comes to cancer survival.
If the lack of progress continues, the committee warned that it could lead to more than 340,000 people missing out on an early cancer diagnosis.
The Department of Health said it recognised "business as usual is not enough" and said it was developing a new 10-year cancer plan.
But a spokesman said progress was already being made, with a network of 160 new diagnostic centres being opened.
'I live in fear after my late diagnosis'
Shirley, 56, was diagnosed with cancer in both breasts six years ago.
One side was stage three - classed as a late diagnosis - and deemed to be a much more aggressive cancer. It therefore requires careful, ongoing monitoring even after completion of her initial treatment.
Shirley continues to take drugs to reduce the chances of the cancer returning, and had been receiving regular six-monthly check-ups and yearly mammograms.
But those follow-up appointments stopped when the pandemic hit.
"The impact on my mental health was huge. It felt like I had had my safety blanket pulled out from under my feet.
"The fear of cancer returning is massive and can be all-consuming at times."
The stage at which a cancer is diagnosed can make a huge difference to a patient's chances of survival.
For example, 90% of people diagnosed at stage one for bowel cancer live for a further five years, compared to just 10% of those diagnosed at stage four.
The cross-party group of MPs said the push to improve early cancer diagnosis was being undermined by long waiting times and disruption caused by the pandemic.
Currently, the NHS is failing to hit its target to start treatment within two months of an urgent referral.
Moreover, three million fewer people were invited for screening during the pandemic than would have been expected - an essential route for the early detection of cancer.
This combination of factors has led to a drop in cancer diagnoses over the past two years - with an estimated 45,000 missed cases across the UK.
The MPs said this raises the prospect of more late diagnoses - with current data only available up to 2019, just before the pandemic began.
Any attempts to improve services in the immediate future are also being undermined by a lack of staff - with shortages in cancer doctors, radiologists and specialist cancer nurses threatening "diagnosis, treatment and research equally", MPs said.
Committee chairman Jeremy Hunt said there was a "real risk" the gains that had been made might even go into reverse.
"Many more lives will almost certainly end prematurely without earlier diagnosis and prompt treatment," Mr Hunt added.
Minesh Patel, of Macmillan Cancer Support, said the report sounded a "loud and clear alarm".
He said it was vital the number of staff working in cancer care increased, describing the current system as at "breaking point".
"This is causing huge anxiety for people living with cancer, who aren't getting the tailored and quality care they need, and face long waits for their treatment, potentially worsening their prognosis."

The NHS in England is struggling to make progress on its flagship target to diagnose three-quarters of cancer cases at an early stage, MPs are warning.
The Health and Social Care Committee said staffing shortages and disruption from the pandemic were causing delays.
Some 54% of cases are diagnosed at stages one and two, considered vital for increasing the chances of survival.
By 2028, the aim is to diagnose 75% of cases in the early stages, but there has been no improvement in six years.
It means England - as well as other UK nations - lag behind comparable countries such as Australia and Canada when it comes to cancer survival.
If the lack of progress continues, the committee warned that it could lead to more than 340,000 people missing out on an early cancer diagnosis.
The Department of Health said it recognised "business as usual is not enough" and said it was developing a new 10-year cancer plan.
But a spokesman said progress was already being made, with a network of 160 new diagnostic centres being opened.

It’s feared survival could "go into reverse" as a result of missed early diagnoses
The survival rate of cancer patients in Bedfordshire one year after diagnosis is still on the rise, new figures show.
But it comes as early diagnosis rates lag behind Government targets for 75% of cancer cases to be detected at stage one or two by 2028.
A panel of experts appointed by MPs has described the Government's commitment to cancer care across England as "inadequate", while former health secretary Jeremy Hunt warned cancer survival could "go into reverse" as a result of missed early diagnoses.
NHS Digital figures show 73.6% of people living in the NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes CCG area survived the first year after their cancer diagnosis in 2019.
This was up from 73% the year prior and 63.5% in 2004, when records began.
The figures do not include patients with prostate and non-melanoma skin cancers.
Across England, one-year survival rates steadily rose over 15 years, from 64.4% to 74.6%.
However, little progress has been made on early diagnosis and the national rate remains well below the 75% target, which was first announced as part of the NHS Long Term Plan in 2018.
Separate NHS Digital figures show just 55% of cancers were detected at earlier stages in 2019 – the latest available figures.
This was an increase of just 0.3 percentage points compared to 2013, when records began,
In Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes, 58.1% of all cancer diagnoses in 2019 were classified as stage one or two, up from 57.8% over the same time period.
Mr Hunt, chairman of the Government's health and social care committee, which recently published a report on cancer services nationally, warned early cancer diagnosis is being jeopardised by staff shortages and the "damaging and prolonged impact" of the coronavirus pandemic.
He said the NHS is not on track to meet the Government's early cancer diagnosis target and that more than 340,000 people will miss out on an early diagnosis between 2019 and 2028 without fixing key issues.
Earlier this year, Health Secretary Sajid Javid declared a "national war on cancer" and announced a 10-year strategy would be published.
Minesh Patel, head of policy at Macmillan Cancer Support, said while there has been limited progress on cancer survival rates in recent years, the Government must address severe staff shortages and provide concrete solutions in its 10-Year Cancer Plan.
An NHS England spokesperson said cancer care is a priority for the organisation and the £3.8 billion plan to recover elective care over the next three years will help catch and treat more cancers at an early stage.
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "We recognise that business as usual on cancer is not enough – that’s why we have redoubled our efforts and are developing a 10-Year Cancer Plan to set out how we will lead the world in cancer care."
The DHSC has promised to tackle the Covid-19 backlog, reduce cancer waiting times and invest £8 billion over the next three years, adding to an extra £2 billion investment in 2021. |

Kansas brought its fourth NCAA title back home Monday thanks to a second-half flurry that erased a 16-point deficit and eventually overcame North Carolina 72-69 in an epic battle of power programs.
It was the biggest comeback in title game history, surpassing Kentucky's 10-point rally to beat Utah in 1998.
David McCormack scored the go-ahead bucket from close range with 1:21 left, then another at the 22-second mark to put the Jayhawks ahead by three. North Carolina missed its final four shots, including Caleb Love’s desperation 3 at the buzzer. His heave barely grazed rim after officials ruled that Kansas guard DaJuan Harris Jr., stepped out on an inbounds pass with 4.3 seconds left.
The Tar Heels went scoreless over the final 1:41.
After McCormick’s go-ahead bucket, Love’s shot got blocked but North Carolina got an offensive rebound and fed to Armando Bacot under the bucket. But the big man lost his footing and turned it over, then limped off the court, unable to return.
That put Brady Manek, not as good a defender, on McCormack, and the Kansas big man backed in Manek for the shot that put the Jayhawks ahead by three.
McCormack and Jalen Wilson led KU with 15 points each. Christian Braun scored 10 of his 12 in the second half and transfer Remy Walker had 11 of his 14 over the final 20 minutes, as the Jayhawks turned what looked like a lost cause into one of the sweetest wins ever.
Carolina had scored 16 straight points late in the first half to open a 40-25 advantage at the break, but top-seeded KU (34-6) went on a 31-10 run over the opening 10 minutes of the second to take a six-point lead and set up a fantastic finish.
Bacot had 15 points and 15 rebounds to become the first player to record double-doubles in all six tournament games. He finished the season with 31 double-doubles, but it was not enough. Carolina was trying to join 1985 Villanova as only the second 8 seed to win March Madness. | 0 | 135,729 | 0.676588 | https://www.fox17online.com/sports/aquinas-splits-twin-bill-against-lourdes | 2022-04-27 01:58:14+00:00 | Making Tax Mischief Work on a Bipartisan Level - Income Sting in Illinois Sends Six People to Feds\n\"Census Data Gaining Popular Atten[....uh]....Popo'rs: 'Pull over; you are out numbering our parking violator\"s now, I just had ................\n'Well.........\n...uh ,,,ahhh....there....that will be all.'........ \"Mary Jane from DesMo GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — With one week left in the regular season, Aquinas softball was looking for a pair of wins to start off the week and get one step closer to a WHAC title.
Grand Haven native Kaelyn Stafford kicked off the scoring in the fourth inning for the Saints with an RBI single to left field. That make it 3-1 for AC. The first two runs were scored on walks in the third inning.
Ashley Snyder earned a solo home run in the bottom of the 5th making it 4-3.
Lourdes stormed back, scoring six runs in the seventh inning to beat Aquinas 10-5. The Saints won the second game, 13-3 through five innings. |

Round Recaps
Erik van Rooyen surges to win at Barracuda
The PGA TOUR’s only Modified Stableford event also is granting access to DP World Tour members for the first time as part of the strategic alliance between the two tours.
FIELD NOTES: This year’s field has been expanded to 156 golfers to include the top 50 available from the DP World Tour… Former Pepperdine standout Joe Highsmith is amongst the sponsor exemptions. Highsmith finished 10th in this year’s PGA TOUR University Ranking presented by Velocity Global and has finished T2 and T4 in two PGA TOUR Canada starts this season… Ricardo Gouveia will make his second straight PGA TOUR start (and third overall) as part of the group of DP World Tour golfers who are teeing it up at the Barracuda Championship. Gouveia was just two shots back going into Sunday’s final day at the Barbasol Championship… Amongst the group of DP World Tour golfers teeing it up in Tahoe are multi-time winners Rasmus Hojgaard, and Ryder Cupper Alex Noren. Hjogaard and Noren are both making the lengthy commute from Scotland after playing the Genesis Scottish Open… More than 10 PGA TOUR winners will be in the field at Old Greenwood.
FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 300 FedExCup points
COURSE: Tahoe Mt. Club (Old Greenwood), par 71, 7,480 yards. About 50 yards have been added for 2022 from last year’s set up in Lake Tahoe. This is the third year for Old Greenwood to play host to the Barracuda Championship. There are rolling hills, numerous bunkers, and large greens at Old Greenwood, which opened in 2004. With the course set at over 6,000 feet above sea level there are a handful of driveable par 4s but also some beastly holes, like the 631 yard par-5 2nd.
STORYLINES: The Barracuda Championship, like the Barbasol Championship, are contested as PGA TOUR events with exemptions given to 50 DP World Tour players… The Modified Stableford scoring format features eight points for an albatross, five points for an eagle, and two points for a birdie. For a full explanation on the format, click here… There are only three events left before the FedExCup playoffs… Andrew Putnam finished runner-up in Tahoe a year ago and the 2018 champ is back to try to create some more magic. Erik Van Rooyen will not defend his title as he’s competing in The Open.
72-HOLE RECORD: +50, Erik Van Rooyen
18-HOLE RECORD: +22, Kyle Reifers (4th round, 2015), Chad Campbell (3rd round, 2018).
LAST TIME: Erik van Rooyen won his maiden PGA TOUR title thanks to three birdies in his final five holes in Lake Tahoe. He won by a five-point margin over Andrew Putnam. Van Rooyen had a 16-point final day after making six birdies and an eagle. Putnam got off to a blistering start, making an eagle and three birdies in his first four holes but couldn’t keep the momentum going through the back nine. Putnam won this event in 2018. Scott Piercy finished third while 54-hole leader Adam Schenk could only muster a 5-point effort in the final round and finished fourth.

https://www.fox16.com/reviews/br/electronics-br/headphones-br/best-headphones-for-outdoor-exercise/ | Which headphones are best for exercising outside?
Choosing the right pair of headphones for exercise takes a little extra time, especially if you work out in the great outdoors. You may want to be aware of your surroundings, such as other people or traffic, or you may want to drown out the sounds of the gym with a noise-canceling feature. Whether you prefer on-ear headphones, earbuds or bone conduction technology, there are plenty of models available with great sound quality, reasonable prices, advanced features or some combination of the three.
Best earbuds for outdoor exercise
Earbuds are a go-to style for indoor and outdoor exercise, mainly because they’re compact, lightweight and often connect to your smartphone easily via BlueTooth. No matter your budget, there are plenty of great in-ear models to choose from, many of which are versatile enough to wear just about anywhere. Compared to other exercise-friendly headphone styles, earbuds generally offer more premium features, such as advanced Bluetooth codecs and active noise canceling.
These true wireless earbuds have it all, including a secure fit, great sound quality and active noise canceling. It also has an optional transparency mode that lets you hear your surroundings. You can opt for the Elite 7 Active, which is Jabra’s more premium option. It has slightly better battery life and sound quality but is more expensive and doesn’t support the aptX codec.
Sold by Amazon
If you want several advanced features without spending a fortune, consider these updated in-ear headphones from Anker. Their multimode noise cancellation offers indoor, outdoor and transport settings that block out different sounds. These modes allow you to enjoy your music while being aware of what’s happening around you.
Sold by Amazon
Whether you’re running in the woods or lifting at the gym, the Powerbeats Pro are some of the most comfortable and secure earbuds available. Thanks to their powerful Apple H1 processor, they deliver great audio and enhanced bass response.
Sold by Amazon
These are great general-purpose earbuds for anyone who wants to save a little money. While they lack most advanced features, they have a long battery life, are lightweight and use Bluetooth 5.2 for a robust wireless connection.
Sold by Amazon
Anyone who has trouble with earbuds staying in their ears should consider this option from Anker due to their comfortable ear hooks. They’re completely waterproof, with an IP68 rating, so they’ll hold up even if you get caught in heavy rain.
Sold by Amazon
From one of the most well-known headphone manufacturers, these are a great choice if you value premium sound quality in addition to comfort and convenience. If you want active noise canceling, however, you’ll have to invest in their more expensive relative, the Bose QuietComfort earbuds.
Sold by Amazon
Best on-ear headphones for outdoor exercise
Over-ear headphones generally don’t work as well for exercise because they’re bulky and hot. On-ear headphones, however, are ideal for people who dislike the fit and feel of earbuds. If you’re one of those people, there are some excellent on-ear models specifically designed for breathability and comfort during exercise. Another benefit of on-ear headphones is that you can hear more of your surroundings.
If you don’t like earbuds, the Adidas RPT-01 should be at the top of your list due to the removable and washable knit ear cushions. They are well-ventilated, and the IPX4 rating means they’re resistant to sweat. The control knob is easy to use, even when you’re exercising.
Sold by Amazon
Ideal for those with small ears, the Fit 500 is compact and weighs just over 5 ounces. They’re equipped with nano-coating that can repel a significant amount of water, and they’re incredibly affordable too.
Sold by Amazon
These are one of the extremely rare on-ear models that boasts active noise canceling, which makes them more versatile than much of the competition. If you don’t need noise canceling and want to save money, consider their more affordable option, the JBL Tune 500BT.
Sold by Amazon
Best bone conduction headphones for outdoor exercise
Bone conduction technology creates a different sound than normal headphones. Instead of pumping sound directly into your ears, they send vibrations through the bone and cartilage in the sides of your head. As a result, bone conduction headphones let 100% of outside sounds pass through, so you’ll be aware of your surroundings.
The downside of bone conduction is that they don’t deliver much bass, and if your headphones don’t fit right, you’ll have trouble hearing some genres of music. On the other hand, bone conduction headphones are great for vocal-centric music or podcasts and perfect for passing the time while running or lifting weights.
These are the most refined model yet from the premier manufacturer of bone conduction headphones, and they offer a better fit. They have a better overall sound than any others on the market. The only drawback is that they’re relatively expensive.
Sold by Amazon
If you want bone conduction headphones but don’t want to spend a fortune, this is an effective pair that’s sweat-resistant, moisture-resistant and uses Bluetooth 5.0. Their six-hour battery life will last you through your longest workouts.
Sold by Amazon
The Acreo OpenBuds lie somewhere between bone conduction and typical wireless earbuds. They use more traditional dynamic drivers like normal headphones but lack the ear tips that many find uncomfortable. These earbuds do a better job of transmitting bass than normal bone conduction does.

Best bone conduction headphones for outdoor exercise
Bone conduction technology creates a different sound than normal headphones. Instead of pumping sound directly into your ears, they send vibrations through the bone and cartilage in the sides of your head. As a result, bone conduction headphones let 100% of outside sounds pass through, so you’ll be aware of your surroundings.
The downside of bone conduction is that they don’t deliver much bass, and if your headphones don’t fit right, you’ll have trouble hearing some genres of music. On the other hand, bone conduction headphones are great for vocal-centric music or podcasts and perfect for passing the time while running or lifting weights.
These are the most refined model yet from the premier manufacturer of bone conduction headphones, and they offer a better fit. They have a better overall sound than any others on the market. The only drawback is that they’re relatively expensive.
Sold by Amazon
If you want bone conduction headphones but don’t want to spend a fortune, this is an effective pair that’s sweat-resistant, moisture-resistant and uses Bluetooth 5.0. Their six-hour battery life will last you through your longest workouts.
Sold by Amazon
The Acreo OpenBuds lie somewhere between bone conduction and typical wireless earbuds. They use more traditional dynamic drivers like normal headphones but lack the ear tips that many find uncomfortable. These earbuds do a better job of transmitting bass than normal bone conduction does.

https://www.fox16.com/reviews/br/electronics-br/headphones-br/best-headphones-for-outdoor-exercise/ | Which headphones are best for exercising outside?
Choosing the right pair of headphones for exercise takes a little extra time, especially if you work out in the great outdoors. You may want to be aware of your surroundings, such as other people or traffic, or you may want to drown out the sounds of the gym with a noise-canceling feature. Whether you prefer on-ear headphones, earbuds or bone conduction technology, there are plenty of models available with great sound quality, reasonable prices, advanced features or some combination of the three.
Best earbuds for outdoor exercise
Earbuds are a go-to style for indoor and outdoor exercise, mainly because they’re compact, lightweight and often connect to your smartphone easily via BlueTooth. No matter your budget, there are plenty of great in-ear models to choose from, many of which are versatile enough to wear just about anywhere. Compared to other exercise-friendly headphone styles, earbuds generally offer more premium features, such as advanced Bluetooth codecs and active noise canceling.
These true wireless earbuds have it all, including a secure fit, great sound quality and active noise canceling. It also has an optional transparency mode that lets you hear your surroundings. You can opt for the Elite 7 Active, which is Jabra’s more premium option. It has slightly better battery life and sound quality but is more expensive and doesn’t support the aptX codec.
Sold by Amazon
If you want several advanced features without spending a fortune, consider these updated in-ear headphones from Anker. Their multimode noise cancellation offers indoor, outdoor and transport settings that block out different sounds. These modes allow you to enjoy your music while being aware of what’s happening around you.
Sold by Amazon
Whether you’re running in the woods or lifting at the gym, the Powerbeats Pro are some of the most comfortable and secure earbuds available. Thanks to their powerful Apple H1 processor, they deliver great audio and enhanced bass response.
Sold by Amazon
These are great general-purpose earbuds for anyone who wants to save a little money. While they lack most advanced features, they have a long battery life, are lightweight and use Bluetooth 5.2 for a robust wireless connection.
Sold by Amazon
Anyone who has trouble with earbuds staying in their ears should consider this option from Anker due to their comfortable ear hooks. They’re completely waterproof, with an IP68 rating, so they’ll hold up even if you get caught in heavy rain.

Best on-ear headphones for outdoor exercise
Over-ear headphones generally don’t work as well for exercise because they’re bulky and hot. On-ear headphones, however, are ideal for people who dislike the fit and feel of earbuds.

Kim Kardashian tapped former Victoria’s Secret angels Tyra Banks, Candice Swanepeol, Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosio to star in her latest SKIMS campaign. On Monday, the brand dropped a series of pictures of the models -- and the founder -- giving their fiercest poses in the latest collection.
“OK so I wasn’t supposed to be in this @SKIMS campaign but I stopped by and jumped in because it was too iconic,” Kim wrote next to a photo of her and the models, who were all Victoria's Secret angels at one point in their careers, wearing the collection. “Introducing Tyra, Heidi, Alessandra and Candice wearing our signature SKIMS Fits Everybody collection.”
In the carousel of photos, Kim, Candice, Tyra, Heidi and Alessandra all pose for the camera as they wear various pieces from the collection. Leaving it to the professionals, in another set of pictures, Kim allows the models to shine as they rock their SKIMS.
The official SKIMS account made the announcement with a video of the legendary models posing for the camera. “Icons join forces for the first time. @tyrabanks, @heidiklum, @alessandraambrosio, and @candiceswanepoel wear our beloved collection of buttery-soft Fits Everybody bras, panties, and foundations,” the post read. “Get their look now via the link bio. Video: @gregswalesart.”
The models took to their respective Instagram accounts to share the news and celebrate their reunion. Heidi posted the group shot, along with a series of solo shots, next to the caption. “What a blast it was shooting with @tyrabanks @alessandraambrosio and @candiceswanepoel for the new @skims "Fits Everybody collection," the Making the Cut host wrote. “It has been a while since we were all together so it was so special to be reunited. Thank you @kimkardashian for making it happen. 🖤 #ad.”
Tyra reflected on the sweet moment, writing, “When @KimKardashian called me with the idea to reunite these incredible women and me for @SKIMS, I was intrigued. And here we are! I hadn’t modeled lingerie and undergarments since I retired from the runway, but it was like riding a bike. The poses came back even fiercer than before! I’m rocking their Fits Everybody collection which is just as comfy as it looks. And yep, Kim…I’m now obsessed.
I 💛 y’all…,” she wrote before tagging all of the women.
Alessandra dished about the moment, writing, “What an amazing time reuniting with my girls and shooting the new @skims campaign. Loving my new Fits Everybody underwear, that I’m obsessed with 🤎✨.”
Candice shared the group shot on her Instagram, next to the caption, “The posse you never knew you needed…💕 @skims @kimkardashian #fitseverybody.”

Kim Kardashian tapped former Victoria’s Secret angels Tyra Banks, Candice Swanepeol, Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosio to star in her latest SKIMS campaign. On Monday, the brand dropped a series of pictures of the models -- and the founder -- giving their fiercest poses in the latest collection.
“OK so I wasn’t supposed to be in this @SKIMS campaign but I stopped by and jumped in because it was too iconic,” Kim wrote next to a photo of her and the models, who were all Victoria's Secret angels at one point in their careers, wearing the collection. “Introducing Tyra, Heidi, Alessandra and Candice wearing our signature SKIMS Fits Everybody collection.”
In the carousel of photos, Kim, Candice, Tyra, Heidi and Alessandra all pose for the camera as they wear various pieces from the collection. Leaving it to the professionals, in another set of pictures, Kim allows the models to shine as they rock their SKIMS.
The official SKIMS account made the announcement with a video of the legendary models posing for the camera. “Icons join forces for the first time. @tyrabanks, @heidiklum, @alessandraambrosio, and @candiceswanepoel wear our beloved collection of buttery-soft Fits Everybody bras, panties, and foundations,” the post read. “Get their look now via the link bio. Video: @gregswalesart.”
The models took to their respective Instagram accounts to share the news and celebrate their reunion. Heidi posted the group shot, along with a series of solo shots, next to the caption. “What a blast it was shooting with @tyrabanks @alessandraambrosio and @candiceswanepoel for the new @skims "Fits Everybody collection," the Making the Cut host wrote. “It has been a while since we were all together so it was so special to be reunited. Thank you @kimkardashian for making it happen. 🖤 #ad.”
Tyra reflected on the sweet moment, writing, “When @KimKardashian called me with the idea to reunite these incredible women and me for @SKIMS, I was intrigued. And here we are! I hadn’t modeled lingerie and undergarments since I retired from the runway, but it was like riding a bike. The poses came back even fiercer than before! I’m rocking their Fits Everybody collection which is just as comfy as it looks. And yep, Kim…I’m now obsessed.
I 💛 y’all…,” she wrote before tagging all of the women.
Alessandra dished about the moment, writing, “What an amazing time reuniting with my girls and shooting the new @skims campaign. Loving my new Fits Everybody underwear, that I’m obsessed with 🤎✨.”
Candice shared the group shot on her Instagram, next to the caption, “The posse you never knew you needed…💕 @skims @kimkardashian #fitseverybody.”

https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine/volodymyr-zelenskyy-address-un-security-council/507-3a580740-40eb-4ab9-b28e-ef9fd9fe9f60 | NEW YORK — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will address the U.N. Security Council for the first time Tuesday at a meeting that is certain to focus on what appear to be widespread deliberate killings of civilians by Russian troops.
The dead were discovered after the withdrawal of Russian forces from a town on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv, and have sparked global outrage and vehement denials from the Russian government that it was responsible.
The United Kingdom, which holds the council presidency this month, announced late Monday that Zelenskyy would speak at the open meeting called for Tuesday to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy is to address the U.N.’s most powerful body virtually after it receives briefings from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, his political chief Rosemary DiCarlo, and U.N. humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths, who is trying to arrange an immediate humanitarian cease-fire and met with senior Russian officials in Moscow on Monday and will shortly be heading to Ukraine.
Videos and photos of streets in the town of Bucha strewn with corpses of what appeared to be civilians, some with their hands tied behind their back, have led to global revulsion, calls for tougher sanctions on Russia and its suspension from the U.N.’s premiere human rights body, the Human Rights Council.
According to Ukraine’s prosecutor-general, Iryna Venediktova, the bodies of 410 civilians have been removed from Bucha and other Kyiv-area towns that were recently retaken from Russian troops.
Associated Press journalists have reported seeing dozens of bodies in various spots around Bucha, northwest of the capital. The bodies included a group of nine in civilian clothes who appeared to have been shot at close range. At least two had their hands tied behind their backs. A bag of spilled groceries was near one of the dead.
Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, accused Ukraine and the West on Monday of “a false flag attempt” to blame Russian troops for atrocities in Bucha that he charged were committed by Ukrainian nationalists. He called video of bodies lying in the streets “a crude forgery,” and insisted that during the time that Bucha was under Russian control, “not a single local person has suffered from any violent action.”
At a news conference, the Russian ambassador showed brief video footage of the smiling mayor of Bucha on March 31 calling the withdrawal of Russian forces a victory of the Ukrainian army and never mentioning “any mass atrocities, dead bodies, killings, graves or anything like that.” He also showed footage from Ukrainian television on April 2 showing Ukrainian soldiers entering Bucha, with “no dead bodies in the streets.”
He said Russia would present further "factual evidence” to the Security Council on Tuesday.
Nebenzia was asked whether he believed videos of Ukrainian family members speaking about the deaths of loved ones killed by Russian troops were also faked. He responded: “This is warfare. In warfare anything happens. You cannot exclude that civilians are dying. That is a sad fact of life.”
But he again charged that the Bucha videos were “staged."
Britain’s U.N. ambassador, Barbara Woodward, called the images from Bucha “harrowing, appalling, probable evidence of war crimes and possibly a genocide,” and she said the Security Council needs “to think about how we deal with that.”
The council remains paralyzed on taking any action on Ukraine because Russia as one of its five permanent members has veto power. But the 193-member General Assembly, where there are no vetoes, has condemned Russia’s invasion and demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities, withdrawal of Russian forces and protection for civilians.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield announced Monday that the United States will soon introduce a General Assembly resolution that would suspend Russia from the U.N.’s premiere human rights body, the 57-nation Human Rights Council, saying there are increasing signs that it committed war crimes in Ukraine. The council is based in Geneva but its members are elected by the 193-nation General Assembly.
Thomas-Greenfield told NPR late Monday that the U.S. plans to seek a vote “as soon as possible this week, and possibly as early as Thursday.”
Any resolution to suspend Russia’s membership rights would require support from two-thirds of member countries that vote “yes” or “no.” Assembly resolutions are not legally binding -- unlike Security Council resolutions -- but they do have clout as a reflection of global opinion.
Russia had sought an emergency meeting of the Security Council to discuss Bucha on Monday afternoon, but Woodward told reporters that with Tuesday’s council meeting already scheduled “we didn’t see a good reason to have two meetings back-to-back on Ukraine.”
Nebenzia was asked if the U.S.-led effort to suspend Russia from the rights council and Britain’s refusal to hold an emergency Security Council meeting Monday at Russia’s request would affect talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
“This will not facilitate or encourage, or be helpful, to what is happening between Russian and Ukrainian peace talks,” Nebenzia said. | 0 | 54,868 | 0 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine/volodymyr-zelenskyy-address-un-security-council/507-3a580740-40eb-4ab9-b28e-ef9fd9fe9f60 | 2022-04-05 03:24:58+00:00 | NEW YORK — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will address the U.N.

Thomas-Greenfield told NPR late Monday that the U.S. plans to seek a vote “as soon as possible this week, and possibly as early as Thursday.”
Any resolution to suspend Russia’s membership rights would require support from two-thirds of member countries that vote “yes” or “no.” Assembly resolutions are not legally binding -- unlike Security Council resolutions -- but they do have clout as a reflection of global opinion.
Russia had sought an emergency meeting of the Security Council to discuss Bucha on Monday afternoon, but Woodward told reporters that with Tuesday’s council meeting already scheduled “we didn’t see a good reason to have two meetings back-to-back on Ukraine.”
Nebenzia was asked if the U.S.-led effort to suspend Russia from the rights council and Britain’s refusal to hold an emergency Security Council meeting Monday at Russia’s request would affect talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
“This will not facilitate or encourage, or be helpful, to what is happening between Russian and Ukrainian peace talks,” Nebenzia said. |

Security Council for the first time Tuesday at a meeting that is certain to focus on what appear to be widespread deliberate killings of civilians by Russian troops.
The dead were discovered after the withdrawal of Russian forces from a town on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv, and have sparked global outrage and vehement denials from the Russian government that it was responsible.
The United Kingdom, which holds the council presidency this month, announced late Monday that Zelenskyy would speak at the open meeting called for Tuesday to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy is to address the U.N.’s most powerful body virtually after it receives briefings from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, his political chief Rosemary DiCarlo, and U.N. humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths, who is trying to arrange an immediate humanitarian cease-fire and met with senior Russian officials in Moscow on Monday and will shortly be heading to Ukraine.
Videos and photos of streets in the town of Bucha strewn with corpses of what appeared to be civilians, some with their hands tied behind their back, have led to global revulsion, calls for tougher sanctions on Russia and its suspension from the U.N.’s premiere human rights body, the Human Rights Council.
According to Ukraine’s prosecutor-general, Iryna Venediktova, the bodies of 410 civilians have been removed from Bucha and other Kyiv-area towns that were recently retaken from Russian troops.
Associated Press journalists have reported seeing dozens of bodies in various spots around Bucha, northwest of the capital. The bodies included a group of nine in civilian clothes who appeared to have been shot at close range. At least two had their hands tied behind their backs. A bag of spilled groceries was near one of the dead.
Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, accused Ukraine and the West on Monday of “a false flag attempt” to blame Russian troops for atrocities in Bucha that he charged were committed by Ukrainian nationalists. He called video of bodies lying in the streets “a crude forgery,” and insisted that during the time that Bucha was under Russian control, “not a single local person has suffered from any violent action.”
At a news conference, the Russian ambassador showed brief video footage of the smiling mayor of Bucha on March 31 calling the withdrawal of Russian forces a victory of the Ukrainian army and never mentioning “any mass atrocities, dead bodies, killings, graves or anything like that.” He also showed footage from Ukrainian television on April 2 showing Ukrainian soldiers entering Bucha, with “no dead bodies in the streets.”
He said Russia would present further "factual evidence” to the Security Council on Tuesday.
Nebenzia was asked whether he believed videos of Ukrainian family members speaking about the deaths of loved ones killed by Russian troops were also faked. He responded: “This is warfare. In warfare anything happens. You cannot exclude that civilians are dying. That is a sad fact of life.”
But he again charged that the Bucha videos were “staged."
Britain’s U.N. ambassador, Barbara Woodward, called the images from Bucha “harrowing, appalling, probable evidence of war crimes and possibly a genocide,” and she said the Security Council needs “to think about how we deal with that.”
The council remains paralyzed on taking any action on Ukraine because Russia as one of its five permanent members has veto power. But the 193-member General Assembly, where there are no vetoes, has condemned Russia’s invasion and demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities, withdrawal of Russian forces and protection for civilians.

https://1019therock.com/fire-marshals-office-determines-cause-of-penobscot-mccrum-fire/ | Fire Marshal’s Office Determines Cause of Penobscot McCrum Fire
Cause of Fire Determined
The Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office said they have determined the cause of the fire Thursday, March 24 at the Penobscot McCrum facility in Belfast, Maine.
Completed Investigation
After the investigation was completed, the fire was ruled accidental. Officials said they were unable to determine the cause of the fire due to extensive damage.
How The Fire Spread
The Fire Marshal’s Office said they were “unable to determine if the cause of the fire was due to spontaneous combustion of leftover food, or caused by a mechanical issue. The fire started in the area of one of the fryolators, which was located next to a conveyor belt. The fire spread to the exhaust venting system through the roof and extended into the void space between the ceiling and the roof.”
Suppression System
The area where the fire extended was above the suppression system and the fire spread rapidly into the rest of the building, said the Fire Marshal’s Office, adding that there were many void spaces in the building above the suppression system. This allowed the fire to move quickly under the metal roof. Officials said the building was a mix-construction-built facility made of wood, masonry and steel.

Belfast Fire Chief
“Given the size of this property, the rapid spread of the fire and imminent threat of hazardous materials, we are so fortunate that all the employees were accounted for early and safe,” Said Belfast Fire Chief Patrick Richards. “Control and extinguishment of this fire was certainly a team effort and I am grateful for all the Mutual Aid and support that the Belfast Fire Department received throughout this incident. There were more than 60 first responders on scene that went home without any reported injuries." | 0 | 3,376 | 0 | https://q961.com/fire-marshals-office-determines-cause-of-penobscot-mccrum-fire/ | 2022-04-06 10:54:16+00:00 | Fire Marshal’s Office Determines Cause of Penobscot McCrum Fire

Firefighters from at least ten communities responded to a huge blaze that broke out early Thursday morning at the Penobscot McCrum potato processing facility in Belfast.
The Belfast Fire Department received a call around 2:00 a.m. reporting a fire at the facility on Pierce Street on the Belfast Waterfront. Authorities say eight workers who were inside the building made it out safely.
Crews from Belmont, Searsmont, Northport, Searsport, Morrill, Montville, Lincolnville, Camden and Liberty were assisting Belfast Fire Department in bringing the fire under control.
Fire crews were still fighting the fire well into the afternoon and were having difficulty due to the metal siding and roofing, according to the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Early on, there was concern that propane and ammonia tanks at the plant might explode, according to various published reports. The Harbor Hill Nursing Home was evacuated and the bridge on Route 1 in Belfast was shut down for a time, according to Waldo County officials. Schools in the area were closed.
Emergency Management officials were urging residents to shelter in place, to keep doors and windows shut, and to turn off any vents that might draw smoke into their homes.
The Maine State Fire Marshal's office and hazmat teams were called to the site.
Officials believe the fire started in one of the large Fryolator machines. Investigators with the Fire Marshal’s Office were interviewing staff on Thursday and are expected to return Friday to process the scene.

A court appearance is scheduled for a suspect connected to the shooting that killed six people and wounded a dozen others in the heart of California’s capital as multiple shooters fired more than 100 rapid-fire rounds and people ran for their lives
Victims of Sacramento mass shooting mourned at vigil
Show all 22A court appearance was scheduled Tuesday for a suspect connected to the shooting that killed six people and wounded a dozen others in the heart of California’s capital as multiple shooters fired more than 100 rapid-fire rounds and people ran for their lives.
Police said Monday that they booked Dandrae Martin, 26, as a “related suspect” on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and being a convict carrying a loaded gun. Detectives and SWAT team members found one handgun during searches of three area homes.
The arrest came as the three women and three men killed were identified in the shooting that occurred at about 2 a.m. Sunday as bars were closing and patrons filled the streets near the state Capitol.
The fallen included a father of four, a young woman who wanted to be a social worker, a man described as the life of the party, and a woman who lived on the streets nearby and was looking for housing.
The Sacramento County coroner identified the women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and De’vazia Turner, 29.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg read their names during a vigil Monday evening attended by grieving relatives, friends and community members.
“So we gather here to remember the victims and to commit ourselves to doing all we can to ending the stain of violence, not only in our community but throughout the state, throughout the country, and throughout the world,” Steinberg said.
Turner, who had three daughters and a son, was a “protector” who worked as the night manager at an inventory company, his mother, Penelope Scott, told The Associated Press. He rarely went out, and she had no reason to believe he would be in harm’s way when he left her house after he visited Saturday night.
“My son was walking down the street and somebody started shooting, and he got shot. Why is that to happen?” Scott said. “I feel like I’ve got a hole in my heart.”
The burst of gunshots sent people running in terror in the neighborhood just a few blocks from the arena where the NBA’s Sacramento Kings play.
Detectives were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was connected to the shooting, Police Chief Kathy Lester said. Witnesses answered her plea for help by providing more than 100 videos and photos of evidence.
District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert noted Martin was not arrested on suspicion of homicide, but suggested investigators were making progress.
“The investigation is highly complex involving many witnesses, videos of numerous types and significant physical evidence,” Schubert said in a statement. “This is an ongoing investigation and we anticipate more arrests in this case.”
Martin was held without bail and was scheduled to appear in Sacramento County Superior Court on Tuesday, according to jail records.
Martin was freed from an Arizona prison in 2020 after serving just over 1 1/2 years for violating probation in separate cases involving a felony conviction for aggravated assault in 2016 and a conviction on a marijuana charge in 2018.
Court records show he pleaded guilty to punching, kicking and choking a woman in a hotel room when she refused to work for him as a prostitute.
He was also wanted on a misdemeanor warrant by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in Southern California.
It was not immediately clear whether Martin had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Of the 12 wounded, at least four suffered critical injuries, the Sacramento Fire Department said. At least seven of the victims had been released from hospitals by Monday.
At the scene where the chaos erupted, streets were reopened Monday and police tape had been removed.
Memorials with candles and flowers began to grow on sidewalks where video showed people screaming and running for shelter as gunshots rang out and others laying on the ground writhing in pain. One balloon had a message on it saying in part: “You will forever be in our hearts and thoughts. Nothing will ever be the same.”
A small bouquet of purple roses was dedicated to Davis, who lived on the streets for years, with a note saying “Melinda Rest In Peace.”
Harris was regular at the London nightclub, near the shooting scene.
“My son was a very vivacious young man,” his mother, Pamela Harris, told KCRA-TV. “Fun to be around, liked to party, smiling all the time. Don’t bother people. For this to happen is crazy. ... I don’t even feel like this is real. I feel like this is a dream.”
Alexander was a doting aunt who wanted to work with children as a social worker.
“She was just beginning her life,” her father, John Alexander, told the Los Angeles Times, sobbing. “Stop all this senseless shooting.”
Politicians decried the violence, and some Democrats, including President Joe Biden, called for tougher action against gun violence.
California has some of the nation’s toughest restrictions on firearms, requiring background checks to buy guns and ammunition, limiting magazines to 10 bullets, and banning firearms that fall into its definition of assault weapons.
But state lawmakers plan to go further. A bill getting its first hearing Tuesday would allow citizens to sue those who possess illegal weapons, a measure patterned after a controversial Texas bill aimed at abortions.
Other proposed California legislation this year would make it easier for people to sue gun companies and target unregistered “ghost guns.”
The California Assembly held a moment of silence Monday in honor of the victims.
Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, a Democrat who represents Sacramento, noted lawmakers could see the crime scene from the building’s balcony.
“Tragic is too small of a word to describe what occurred just two nights ago as a devastating loss for our city,” McCarty said.
Police were investigating whether the shooting was connected with a street fight that broke out just before gunfire erupted. Several people could be seen in videos scrapping on a street lined with an upscale hotel, nightclubs and bars when gunshots sent people scattering.
Scott, a hospice social worker who deals with death for a living, said she was not prepared for this kind of grief.
“I know the process of bereavement but, you know, this is my kid,” she said. “It’s tragic and sudden. I’d just seen him, just had him in my house. He’s got children. He’s got a wife.”

A court appearance is scheduled for a suspect connected to the shooting that killed six people and wounded a dozen others in the heart of California’s capital as multiple shooters fired more than 100 rapid-fire rounds and people ran for their lives
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A court appearance was scheduled Tuesday for a suspect connected to the shooting that killed six people and wounded a dozen others in the heart of California’s capital as multiple shooters fired more than 100 rapid-fire rounds and people ran for their lives.

Politicians decried the violence, and some Democrats, including President Joe Biden, called for tougher action against gun violence.
California has some of the nation’s toughest restrictions on firearms, requiring background checks to buy guns and ammunition, limiting magazines to 10 bullets, and banning firearms that fall into its definition of assault weapons.
But state lawmakers plan to go further. A bill getting its first hearing Tuesday would allow citizens to sue those who possess illegal weapons, a measure patterned after a controversial Texas bill aimed at abortions.
Other proposed California legislation this year would make it easier for people to sue gun companies and target unregistered “ghost guns.”
The California Assembly held a moment of silence Monday in honor of the victims.
Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, a Democrat who represents Sacramento, noted lawmakers could see the crime scene from the building’s balcony.
“Tragic is too small of a word to describe what occurred just two nights ago as a devastating loss for our city,” McCarty said.
Police were investigating whether the shooting was connected with a street fight that broke out just before gunfire erupted. Several people could be seen in videos scrapping on a street lined with an upscale hotel, nightclubs and bars when gunshots sent people scattering.
Scott, a hospice social worker who deals with death for a living, said she was not prepared for this kind of grief.
“I know the process of bereavement but, you know, this is my kid,” she said. “It’s tragic and sudden. I’d just seen him, just had him in my house. He’s got children. He’s got a wife.”

A court appearance is scheduled for a suspect connected to the shooting that killed six people and wounded a dozen others in the heart of California’s capital as multiple shooters fired more than 100 rapid-fire rounds and people ran for their lives
Victims of Sacramento mass shooting mourned at vigil
Show all 22A court appearance was scheduled Tuesday for a suspect connected to the shooting that killed six people and wounded a dozen others in the heart of California’s capital as multiple shooters fired more than 100 rapid-fire rounds and people ran for their lives.
Police said Monday that they booked Dandrae Martin, 26, as a “related suspect” on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and being a convict carrying a loaded gun. Detectives and SWAT team members found one handgun during searches of three area homes.
The arrest came as the three women and three men killed were identified in the shooting that occurred at about 2 a.m. Sunday as bars were closing and patrons filled the streets near the state Capitol.
The fallen included a father of four, a young woman who wanted to be a social worker, a man described as the life of the party, and a woman who lived on the streets nearby and was looking for housing.
The Sacramento County coroner identified the women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and De’vazia Turner, 29.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg read their names during a vigil Monday evening attended by grieving relatives, friends and community members.
“So we gather here to remember the victims and to commit ourselves to doing all we can to ending the stain of violence, not only in our community but throughout the state, throughout the country, and throughout the world,” Steinberg said.
Turner, who had three daughters and a son, was a “protector” who worked as the night manager at an inventory company, his mother, Penelope Scott, told The Associated Press. He rarely went out, and she had no reason to believe he would be in harm’s way when he left her house after he visited Saturday night.
“My son was walking down the street and somebody started shooting, and he got shot. Why is that to happen?” Scott said. “I feel like I’ve got a hole in my heart.”
The burst of gunshots sent people running in terror in the neighborhood just a few blocks from the arena where the NBA’s Sacramento Kings play.
Detectives were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was connected to the shooting, Police Chief Kathy Lester said. Witnesses answered her plea for help by providing more than 100 videos and photos of evidence.
District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert noted Martin was not arrested on suspicion of homicide, but suggested investigators were making progress.
“The investigation is highly complex involving many witnesses, videos of numerous types and significant physical evidence,” Schubert said in a statement. “This is an ongoing investigation and we anticipate more arrests in this case.”
Martin was held without bail and was scheduled to appear in Sacramento County Superior Court on Tuesday, according to jail records.
Martin was freed from an Arizona prison in 2020 after serving just over 1 1/2 years for violating probation in separate cases involving a felony conviction for aggravated assault in 2016 and a conviction on a marijuana charge in 2018.
Court records show he pleaded guilty to punching, kicking and choking a woman in a hotel room when she refused to work for him as a prostitute.
He was also wanted on a misdemeanor warrant by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in Southern California.
It was not immediately clear whether Martin had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Of the 12 wounded, at least four suffered critical injuries, the Sacramento Fire Department said. At least seven of the victims had been released from hospitals by Monday.
At the scene where the chaos erupted, streets were reopened Monday and police tape had been removed.
Memorials with candles and flowers began to grow on sidewalks where video showed people screaming and running for shelter as gunshots rang out and others laying on the ground writhing in pain. One balloon had a message on it saying in part: “You will forever be in our hearts and thoughts. Nothing will ever be the same.”
A small bouquet of purple roses was dedicated to Davis, who lived on the streets for years, with a note saying “Melinda Rest In Peace.”
Harris was regular at the London nightclub, near the shooting scene.
“My son was a very vivacious young man,” his mother, Pamela Harris, told KCRA-TV. “Fun to be around, liked to party, smiling all the time. Don’t bother people. For this to happen is crazy. ... I don’t even feel like this is real. I feel like this is a dream.”
Alexander was a doting aunt who wanted to work with children as a social worker.
“She was just beginning her life,” her father, John Alexander, told the Los Angeles Times, sobbing. “Stop all this senseless shooting.”
Politicians decried the violence, and some Democrats, including President Joe Biden, called for tougher action against gun violence.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A suspect believed connected to the mass shooting in Sacramento was arrested, but the multiple shooters police believe fatally shot six people and wounded 12 on a crowded street in California’s capital are still on the loose
More than 100 shots were fired early Sunday in downtown Sacramento, creating a chaotic scene with hundreds of people trying desperately to get to safety. A day later police announced the arrest of Dandrae Martin, 26, as a “related suspect” on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and being a convict carrying a loaded gun. A court appearance was set for Tuesday.

The country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on Friday said it has launched a new version of its multi-purpose vehicle Ertiga, priced between Rs 8.35-12.79 lakh (ex-showroom).
The model comes with a 1.5 litre petrol engine paired with both manual and automatic transmissions.
The auto major has also launched CNG trims of the vehicle.
The model comes with hybrid technology and driven by an all-new advanced six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Ertiga's launch ten years ago was a significant moment in the Indian automobile industry, as it created a new segment that has been growing at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 4.7 per cent," MSI Managing Director & CEO Hisashi Takeuchi noted.
The next-gen Ertiga with advanced technology features comes with a new engine and an all-new transmission, he added.
"As it stays true to its brand vision of providing comfort, technology, and safety features, while being fuel-efficient for customers, the next-gen Ertiga will surely continue to be India's go-to MPV. We are confident that the next-gen Ertiga will be widely embraced by our customers," Takeuchi stated.
Available both in petrol and CNG options, Ertiga offers a mileage of 20.51 km/l (petrol) and 26.11km/kg (CNG).
In an interaction with PTI, MSI Senior Executive Director (Marketing & Sales) Shashank Srivastava said the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) segment has been witnessing growth over the last few years.
"In 2014-15, it used to be only around 4-5 per cent of the industry but now it has grown to around 8-9 per cent of the industry and the overall volumes have also grown from 1.6-2 lakh units in 2014-15 to almost 2.6 lakh units last fiscal year," he noted.
With the growth in the segment, MSI has also been able to increase it market share from 33-34 per cent to around 61 per cent, Srivastava noted.
"We used to do 5,000 units a month earlier till 2019 but after we introduced Ertiga and XL6, it has grown to 13,500 units a month. The total MPV market roughly per month is around 22,000," he stated.
Srivastava noted that with the segment growing, the company is updating Ertiga and also bringing in a new version of XL6 later this month.
"We would like to increase the market share further provided we have availability of the parts. The pending bookings for the company has already risen to 3 lakh units. We are hoping to increase production to reduce waiting periods," he stated.
Srivastava noted sales of Ertiga has increased despite the lack of a diesel powertrain, which used to be there when the model was launched initially.
The updated Ertiga now comes with cruise control, auto headlamps with 'follow me home' functionality, and CNG specific speedometer in S-CNG variants.
The new Ertiga can also be owned through Maruti Suzuki Subscribe at an all-inclusive monthly subscription fee starting from Rs 18,600 (petrol) and Rs 22,400 (CNG), the company said.

https://www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-npr/2021-02-12/biden-gets-two-vacancies-to-fill-on-influential-d-c-circuit-court | Judicial musical chairs are playing out well for President Biden on the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
On Thursday, Judge David Tatel announced that he is stepping down, handing Biden a second vacancy to fill on the D.C. Circuit The other vacancy is expected in a matter of weeks when Judge Merrick Garland is confirmed as U.S. Attorney General.
Judicial sources tell NPR that once Garland is confirmed, Biden is expected to nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace him. She has been a federal trial judge for 8 years, and is on President Biden's short list of potential nominees to the Supreme Court should a vacancy occur there. She is 50, African American, and was on President Obama's Supreme Court short list in 2016.
Tatel, a respected and admired figure on the circuit court, is a moderate liberal, who has written some of the court's most important decisions. But in recent years, as the Supreme Court grew more and more conservative, he saw some of those rulings reversed by the High Court. The decision he was perhaps proudest of was his opinion upholding a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court ultimately reversed the decision by a 5-to-4 vote in 2013.
Judge Thomas Griffith, a conservative who joined Tatel's opinion in that case, called him a judge who always "played it straight.... without partisanship or ideology, applying the facts and the law." Tatel has been more than a fine judge, said Griffith. He is a man of "enormous graciousness," and the essence of what one hopes for in a colleague, "whether you agree or disagree."
Tatel, 78, has been blind for most of his adulthood. He functioned flawlessly as a successful lawyer and judge, and also enjoyed pursuits including skiing and mountain climbing.
He was nominated to the D.C. Appeals Court in 1994 by President Clinton to fill the seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg after she was appointed to the Supreme Court.
In a letter to President Biden, Tatel said he would assume senior status, with a reduced workload, once his successor is confirmed. His decision to, as he put it, "make room for a new generation of judges," gives Biden the opportunity to make an immediate mark on the D.C. Circuit, widely seen as second only to the Supreme Court in influence.
An unusually large number of judges at both the appellate and trial levels across the country, including some appointed by Republican presidents, are expected to take senior status now that Donald Trump has left office. And the Biden Administration has made plans to expedite nominations to fill vacancies quickly, unlike former Presidents Obama and Clinton, who didn't act quickly to name new federal judges in their first two years in office (Democrats lost their Senate majority two years into the Clinton administration while they held it for the first six years of Obama's two terms).
Biden a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee before becoming Vice President, is well aware of what's needed to confirm new judges and their importance. His chief of Staff, Ron Klain, was a key Biden staffer on the Judiciary Committee.
Former President Trump, aided by Republican Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell, appointed nearly as many federal appeals court judges in one term as the two previous presidents — Obama and George W. Bush — did in their combined four terms.

https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Post-play-proved-pivotal-throughout-Final-Four-17057737.php | NEW ORLEANS (AP) — David McCormack's two late baskets in the paint to help Kansas surge past North Carolina during the NCAA championship game followed a Final Four trend.
The way teams played in the post had a major influence on how the games turned out.
McCormack scored the final four points of Monday night's national title game to finish with 15 points and 10 rebounds in Kansas' 72-69 triumph.
His final basket came after Tar Heels center Armando Bacot, whose strong start helped stake North Carolina to a 15-point halftime lead, needed help getting to the bench after re-aggravating an ankle injury that occurred during the second half of his influential semifinal performance on Saturday night.
The late-game heroics capped a memorable Final Four for the Jayhawks' big man.
In the first semifinal game, Villanova lacked the size to handle the 6-foot-10 McCormack, who had two inches on anyone guarding him. He threw down several thunderous dunks and motioned repeatedly to Kansas fans to “raise the roof” of the Superdome on his way to a game-high 25 points.
The Jayhawks rolled to an 81-65 victory in which they led most of the second half by double digits.
Bacot, meanwhile, outplayed Duke's post players in the other semifinal.
With 7-1 Duke center Mark Williams in foul trouble and playing just 16 minutes, Bacot was able to take command of the paint, grabbing 21 rebounds to go with his 11 points. Williams finished with eight points and four rebounds, and the Tar Heels pulled out an 81-77 victory.
With McCormack and the Jayhawks' 6-8 Mitch Lightfoot seeing their playing limited by foul trouble in the first half of the final, UNC's Bacot had 12 points and 10 rebounds through the first 20 minutes, despite his sore ankle.
But McCormack asserted himself in the second half, when he had nine points and seven rebounds. During that same stretch, Bacot was limited to just three points and five rebounds in the final 20 minutes, during which Kansas outscored the Tar Heels by 18 to pull off the largest comeback in an NCAA Tournament title game.

- Mark Babbage, 38, is banned from working in finance for 10 years by ASIC

A financial planner who sneaked through Western Australia's hard border to watch his footy team play in the AFL Grand Final has been banned from practicing.
Mark Babbage, 38, and his millionaire bar owner best mate Hayden Burbank travelled through the Northern Territory before illegally crossing into WA.
They used false documents to bluff their way to Perth in time to see their beloved Melbourne Demons defeat the Western Bulldogs.
But the pair were caught out after photos of them partying with the team in the changerooms after the game and holding the premiership cup on the field were plastered on social media.
Both men spent three months in one of the state's toughest jails after they were tracked down and arrested.
Hayden Burbank (pictured far left) and Mark Babbage (far right) sneaked through a series of loopholes and used false documents to watch the AFL Grand Final
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission announced on Monday Mr Babbage would be prohibited from providing financial services of any kind and also from engaging in credit activities for the next 10 years.
'Mr Babbage was convicted of three charges relating to a failure to comply with a direction under the Emergency Management Act 2005 and one charge of gaining a benefit by fraud in contravention of the Criminal Code WA on 13 October 2021 in the Magistrates Court of Western Australia,' the regulator said.
'ASIC is satisfied that Mr Babbage lacks the honesty and integrity to participate in the financial services and credit industries.'
Western Australian Police called on the public for help to locate the men before their arrest. Pictured: Mark Babbage
ASIC initially removed Mr Babbage, who runs Babbage Finance, from its registry in March after he pleaded guilty to gaining benefit by fraud.
Under strict quarantine rules at the time, Victorians were not allowed into the western state, but the NT had an open border with WA.
Determined to see their beloved Demons play, Mr Burbank and Mr Babbage dodged the border ban using a loophole.
The pair flew to the NT on September 14 to obtain fake documents with a residential address, allowing them to enter WA as NT residents without quarantine a week later.
Mr Burbank and Mr Babbage stayed with friends in Perth before heading to Optus Stadium wearing blue and red scarfs for Grand Final night.
Hayden Burbank and Mark Babbage were caught by WA police after a series of pictures on social media showed the pair posing with Demons players and the AFL Premiership
Mr Burbank (pictured) said he knows what he did was wrong and apologised to healthcare workers Australia-wide for 'kicking dirt in their face'
Their plan was foolproof until Mr Burbank received a text from a connection, inviting him into the change rooms to greet his beloved Demons players.
Pictures of him celebrating in the locker rooms had made their way to the AFL's official Instagram page, enraging partners of players who were back in Melbourne and banned from attending.
One WAG in particular made furious calls to police and questioned how Mr Burbank made it into the rooms under strict Covid-19 rules.
Police launched a statewide manhunt and eventually arrested the pair near Margaret River during a weekend getaway.
'As far as the club is concerned, the only people that should've been in there, were the 75 in the travel party and 100 people who were approved to receive a wristband,' Melbourne football club chief executive Gary Pert said at the time.
'I don't know how someone gets in if they are not on the list... There were a lot of key people we would've loved to have in the room but we needed to meet the AFL guidelines.'
Mr Burbank (pictured) and Mr Babbage filmed themselves cheering after the Demons took the win for the first time in 57 years
Babbage was spared another jail sentence, having pleaded guilty in a Darwin court to three charges of breaching the territory's Covid laws, and obtaining a fake driver's licence and rental agreement.
Judge Alan Woodcock slammed Babbage's actions as 'foolish' but sentenced him to a six month suspended jail term.
'His course of conduct... was foolish and dishonest and deceitful, wrongheaded,' Judge Woodcock said.
Burbank was earlier given a six month suspended sentence and a 12 month good behaviour bond after he pleaded guilty to four charges. | 0 | 31,853 | 0.934146 | https://thewest.com.au/news/crime/afl-grand-final-boarder-breacher-hayden-burbank-arrested-again-after-serving-jail-time-in-wa--c-8251336 | 2022-09-15 09:57:46+00:00 | AFL Grand Final boarder breacher Hayden Burbank arrested again after serving jail time in WA

- Mark Babbage, 38, is banned from working in finance for 10 years by ASIC
- He and best mate Hayden Burbank, 49, sneaked into WA last year via the NT
- The Melbourne Demons fans were desperate to watch their team play
- Australian Securities and Investments Commission banned him on Monday
A financial planner who sneaked through Western Australia's hard border to watch his footy team play in the AFL Grand Final has been banned from practicing.
Mark Babbage, 38, and his millionaire bar owner best mate Hayden Burbank travelled through the Northern Territory before illegally crossing into WA.
They used false documents to bluff their way to Perth in time to see their beloved Melbourne Demons defeat the Western Bulldogs.
But the pair were caught out after photos of them partying with the team in the changerooms after the game and holding the premiership cup on the field were plastered on social media.
Both men spent three months in one of the state's toughest jails after they were tracked down and arrested.
Hayden Burbank (pictured far left) and Mark Babbage (far right) sneaked through a series of loopholes and used false documents to watch the AFL Grand Final
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission announced on Monday Mr Babbage would be prohibited from providing financial services of any kind and also from engaging in credit activities for the next 10 years.
'Mr Babbage was convicted of three charges relating to a failure to comply with a direction under the Emergency Management Act 2005 and one charge of gaining a benefit by fraud in contravention of the Criminal Code WA on 13 October 2021 in the Magistrates Court of Western Australia,' the regulator said.
'ASIC is satisfied that Mr Babbage lacks the honesty and integrity to participate in the financial services and credit industries.'
Western Australian Police called on the public for help to locate the men before their arrest. Pictured: Mark Babbage
ASIC initially removed Mr Babbage, who runs Babbage Finance, from its registry in March after he pleaded guilty to gaining benefit by fraud.
Under strict quarantine rules at the time, Victorians were not allowed into the western state, but the NT had an open border with WA.
Determined to see their beloved Demons play, Mr Burbank and Mr Babbage dodged the border ban using a loophole.
The pair flew to the NT on September 14 to obtain fake documents with a residential address, allowing them to enter WA as NT residents without quarantine a week later.
Mr Burbank and Mr Babbage stayed with friends in Perth before heading to Optus Stadium wearing blue and red scarfs for Grand Final night.

Mr Burbank (pictured) said he knows what he did was wrong and apologised to healthcare workers Australia-wide for 'kicking dirt in their face'
Their plan was foolproof until Mr Burbank received a text from a connection, inviting him into the change rooms to greet his beloved Demons players.
Pictures of him celebrating in the locker rooms had made their way to the AFL's official Instagram page, enraging partners of players who were back in Melbourne and banned from attending.
One WAG in particular made furious calls to police and questioned how Mr Burbank made it into the rooms under strict Covid-19 rules.
Police launched a statewide manhunt and eventually arrested the pair near Margaret River during a weekend getaway.
'As far as the club is concerned, the only people that should've been in there, were the 75 in the travel party and 100 people who were approved to receive a wristband,' Melbourne football club chief executive Gary Pert said at the time.
'I don't know how someone gets in if they are not on the list... There were a lot of key people we would've loved to have in the room but we needed to meet the AFL guidelines.'

Babbage was spared another jail sentence, having pleaded guilty in a Darwin court to three charges of breaching the territory's Covid laws, and obtaining a fake driver's licence and rental agreement.
Judge Alan Woodcock slammed Babbage's actions as 'foolish' but sentenced him to a six month suspended jail term.
'His course of conduct... was foolish and dishonest and deceitful, wrongheaded,' Judge Woodcock said.

https://www.tbsnews.net/world/south-asia/sri-lanka-gets-new-finance-minister-cenbank-governor-unrest-grows-397410 | Sri Lanka gets new finance minister, cenbank governor as unrest grows
Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa dropped his brother as finance minister and sought a new central bank governor on Monday, as crowds angry over the country's deepening economic crisis surrounded the homes of several lawmakers.
The debt-laden country, run by Rajapaksa and members of his family since 2019, is struggling to pay for imports of fuel and other goods due to a scarcity of foreign exchange, leading to hours-long power cuts and a shortage of essentials.
Police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who gathered outside Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa's private residence in Tangalle, in southern Sri Lanka. Mahinda, the president's elder brother, was away at the time in Colombo, the country's commercial capital, where peaceful protests continued into the night.
"Protesters broke through two barricades that had been placed near the residence and police had to use tear gas to move the protesters away," police spokesperson Nihal Thalduwa said.
Crowds also gathered outside the homes of six lawmakers and the party office of a former state minister spread across the country, he said.
"Police continue to provide security to the houses of parliamentarians," Thalduwa said.
After many protesters demanded the total ouster of the Rajapaksas, the president's media office said in a statement that four new ministers had been appointed "to ensure parliament and other tasks can be conducted in a lawful manner until a full Cabinet can be sworn in."
The president's nephew resigned as sports minister in the government that was disbanded while the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) governor offered to quit. The CBSL delayed its monetary policy announcement scheduled for Tuesday.
Former CBSL official P Nandalal Weerasinghe said on Monday that he had accepted an offer from Rajapaksa to become the central bank's next governor.
"The president called me and made the offer, and I have accepted," Weerasinghe told Reuters.
The president's media office said Justice Minister Ali Sabry was named finance minister, replacing Basil Rajapaksa, the president's younger brother, who was due to visit Washington this month for talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a loan programme.
Ministers of foreign affairs, education and highways will keep their positions.
"The president invites all political parties representing in the parliament to come together to accept ministerial portfolios in order to find solutions to this national crisis," the media office said.
Udaya Gammanpila, chief of one of the 11 political parties comprising the ruling coalition, called the new Cabinet "old wine in a new bottle".
"Our demand is for an all-party interim government to restore essential services and to hold a parliamentary election," Gammanpila, of the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya party, wrote on Twitter. "People should decide their next leaders, not anybody else."
Sajith Premadasa, leader of Sri Lanka's main opposition, rejected Rajapaksa's offer to form a unity government. "This is a crooked and corrupt government that has brought the people to their knees. The demand of the people is a government like this must go home immediately," he said in a video statement.
'THIS GOVERNMENT IS OVER'
The developments come after the president declared a state of emergency on Friday, following street protests in the island nation of 22 million.
The power regulator said daily power cuts would be reduced to 6-1/2 hours for the rest of the week from about seven now, after the Energy Ministry pledged to release 26,000 tonnes of diesel and furnace oil to multiple power plants.
Charmara Nakandala, a protester, dismissed the Cabinet changes as meaningless.
"This cabinet change is to try and fool the people," Nakandala, a marketing executive, said at a protest in Colombo. "This government is over. Rajapaksas no longer can save this by playing musical chairs."
Sri Lanka, off India's southern tip, is also grappling with soaring inflation after the government steeply devalued its currency last month ahead of the IMF talks.
Sri Lanka's expenditure has exceeded its income under successive governments while its production of tradable goods and services has been inadequate. The twin deficits were badly exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic that crippled tourism, its economic mainstay. | 0 | 98,422 | 0.177705 | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2560938751793/sri-lanka-gets-new-finance-minister-cenbank-governor-as-unrest-grows | 2022-04-05 18:44:15+00:00 | Sri Lanka gets new finance minister, cenbank governor as unrest grows

Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa dropped his brother as finance minister and sought a new central bank governor on Monday, as crowds angry over the country's deepening economic crisis surrounded the homes of several lawmakers.
The debt-laden country, run by Rajapaksa and members of his family since 2019, is struggling to pay for imports of fuel and other goods due to a scarcity of foreign exchange, leading to hours-long power cuts and a shortage of essentials.
Police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who gathered outside Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa's private residence in Tangalle, in southern Sri Lanka. Mahinda, the president's elder brother, was away at the time in Colombo, the country's commercial capital, where peaceful protests continued into the night.
"Protesters broke through two barricades that had been placed near the residence and police had to use tear gas to move the protesters away," police spokesperson Nihal Thalduwa said.
Crowds also gathered outside the homes of six lawmakers and the party office of a former state minister spread across the country, he said.
"Police continue to provide security to the houses of parliamentarians," Thalduwa said.
After many protesters demanded the total ouster of the Rajapaksas, the president's media office said in a statement that four new ministers had been appointed "to ensure parliament and other tasks can be conducted in a lawful manner until a full Cabinet can be sworn in."
The president's nephew resigned as sports minister in the government that was disbanded while the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) governor offered to quit. The CBSL delayed its monetary policy announcement scheduled for Tuesday.
Former CBSL official P Nandalal Weerasinghe said on Monday that he had accepted an offer from Rajapaksa to become the central bank's next governor.
"The president called me and made the offer, and I have accepted," Weerasinghe told Reuters.
The president's media office said Justice Minister Ali Sabry was named finance minister, replacing Basil Rajapaksa, the president's younger brother, who was due to visit Washington this month for talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a loan programme.
Ministers of foreign affairs, education and highways will keep their positions.
"The president invites all political parties representing in the parliament to come together to accept ministerial portfolios in order to find solutions to this national crisis," the media office said.
Udaya Gammanpila, chief of one of the 11 political parties comprising the ruling coalition, called the new Cabinet "old wine in a new bottle".
"Our demand is for an all-party interim government to restore essential services and to hold a parliamentary election," Gammanpila, of the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya party, wrote on Twitter. "People should decide their next leaders, not anybody else."
Sajith Premadasa, leader of Sri Lanka's main opposition, rejected Rajapaksa's offer to form a unity government. "This is a crooked and corrupt government that has brought the people to their knees. The demand of the people is a government like this must go home immediately," he said in a video statement.
'THIS GOVERNMENT IS OVER'
The developments come after the president declared a state of emergency on Friday, following street protests in the island nation of 22 million.
The power regulator said daily power cuts would be reduced to 6-1/2 hours for the rest of the week from about seven now, after the Energy Ministry pledged to release 26,000 tonnes of diesel and furnace oil to multiple power plants.
Charmara Nakandala, a protester, dismissed the Cabinet changes as meaningless.
"This cabinet change is to try and fool the people," Nakandala, a marketing executive, said at a protest in Colombo. "This government is over. Rajapaksas no longer can save this by playing musical chairs."

If John Rae hadn’t been such a mover-and-shaker, Masters history would include many chapters on would-be champs whose dreams drowned in Kenyon’s Creek.
Huh?
Yes, Kenyon’s Creek, a meandering 10-mile stream that once flowed gently across the undeveloped landscape and eventually into the Augusta Canal, which (then and now) fed into the Savannah River. It now feeds into Lake Olmstead, thanks to a late-1800s dam project.
In 1734, exactly 200 years before the first Masters Tournament, John Rae, an Irish trader, came west and settled in Augusta. Along with establishing a cattle farm, trading post and large homestead overlooking the river, Rae started a ferry service.
By the time of his death in 1789, he’d become such a prominent resident that “Kenyon’s Creek” had become Rae’s Creek. Today it still wanders its old 10-mile path, but nowadays it passes under a couple of main thoroughfares, around neighborhoods, behind a swim-and-raquet club, and eventually dries out west of town near Interstate 20.

Of those 10 miles, without question the most famous stretch of Rae’s Creek cuts across the bottom of the old Fruitland nursery, a 365-acre property sold in the early 1930s to a group headed by golf legend Bobby Jones.
Good fortune often found Bobby Jones, and what good fortune it was that the purchased property stretched just beyond Rae’s Creek on the lowest part of the grounds.
That allowed Dr. Alister MacKenzie, the course architect, to plant a green between the creek and southern property line, which in turn forced golfers to deal with that creek, which in turn led to decades of great relief but also, what we remember most, heartbreak.

GIVE A FINGER?:So, you wanna play Augusta National? Let's negotiate the terms | KEN WILLIS
Originally it was the third hole, but prior to the second Masters in 1935, the nines were reversed and the third became the 12th.
Rae’s Creek is at its widest inside Augusta National grounds — 60 feet wide, four feet deep. It’s surrounded by golf’s most colorful backdrop — blooming azaleas and dogwoods, guarded by majestic pines that look protective but, in dark moments, wreak havoc on wind patterns and sometimes make that 12th-tee club decision more of a guess.
That whole southern section of the course, with its natural beauty, eventually earned a proper label — Amen Corner. As serene as that sounds, it’s the not-so-holy water fronting the 12th green that snaps golfers out of any temptation to relax and enjoy the views.
In case you want to sound smart around friends this week, here are some other tidbits about Mr. Rae’s creek.
• Rae’s Creek branches out into 74 tributary streams along its 10 miles. The narrow creek running along the left side of No. 13 and across the front of its green is a Rae’s Creek tributary, though many mistakenly refer to it as Rae’s Creek.
Some years, it pays quite a tribute, gobbling its own share of misplayed shots and dashing the hopes of contenders.
• The pond left of the No. 11 green was once fed by Rae’s Creek, before a dam was built in 1950.
• Augusta National lore includes the story of former President Dwight Eisenhower, a club member, hitting his tee shot on No. 12 into Rae’s Creek, where it nestled atop a jut of sand sticking above the water. Urged to wade in toward the sandbar and play the shot, Ike quickly sank to his knees in mud and had to be rescued by two Secret Service agents.
• “Every putt breaks toward Rae’s Creek.” Toss out that old gem and prepare to do some splainin’. Here goes …
The southern tip of Augusta National is the lowest part of the 365 acres, 175 feet lower than the northern boundary. Where Rae’s Creek passes behind the 11th green is said to be the exact low point.
Therefore, natural forces create a pull toward Rae’s Creek and the 11th green. Putts breaking toward the north will break a tad less due to that pull. East-to-west putts that look straight might have a wee bit of pull to the south.
What do the longtime Augusta caddies call this phenomenon? Yes, “the pull.”
Example: In 1986, when Jack Nicklaus made the final birdie of his comeback (“Yes SIR!”), his 12-foot putt on No. 17 looked like it had an inch of break to the right, but Nicklaus suggested, “No, Rae’s Creek will keep it straight.”
He was right.
This is why many (or most) Augusta yardage books include a red dot on each green, indicating the direction of Rae’s Creek.
• The 12th tee doesn’t have the do-or-die feel of the No. 17 island green at TPC-Sawgrass. But with the traditional Sunday pin placement on the right side of the slightly angled green, a leader or contender’s temptation is mightily tested.
Aim at the pin but push it too far right, or maybe catch the ball a fraction off-center, you’ve lengthened the hole and invited Rae’s Creek to add another notch in its belt.
That’s why, without fail, you’ll see every golfer stand on that tee, staring at the tree tops, glancing over at the flag on the 11th green, looking down at the yardage book, back to the tree tops … hoping against hope he’ll get a clue for what the swirling breezes will do to his golf ball.
Occasionally, it ends badly, and you’ll see the golfer make that sad walk toward the penalty-drop area, wishing John Rae’s ferry would show up and take him upstream. | 0 | 120,934 | 0.251272 | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2564668678685/augusta-national-rae-s-creek-comes-and-goes-quickly-but-has-left-a-long-trail-of-heartbreak | 2022-04-08 07:28:34+00:00 | Augusta National: Rae's Creek comes and goes quickly, but has left a long trail of heartbreak

Huh?
Yes, Kenyon’s Creek, a meandering 10-mile stream that once flowed gently across the undeveloped landscape and eventually into the Augusta Canal, which (then and now) fed into the Savannah River. It now feeds into Lake Olmstead, thanks to a late-1800s dam project.
In 1734, exactly 200 years before the first Masters Tournament, John Rae, an Irish trader, came west and settled in Augusta. Along with establishing a cattle farm, trading post and large homestead overlooking the river, Rae started a ferry service.
By the time of his death in 1789, he’d become such a prominent resident that “Kenyon’s Creek” had become Rae’s Creek. Today it still wanders its old 10-mile path, but nowadays it passes under a couple of main thoroughfares, around neighborhoods, behind a swim-and-racquet club, and eventually dries out west of town near Interstate 20.
Of those 10 miles, without question, the most famous stretch of Rae’s Creek cuts across the bottom of the old Fruitland nursery, a 365-acre property sold in the early 1930s to a group headed by golf legend Bobby Jones.
Good fortune often found Bobby Jones, and what good fortune it was that the purchased property stretched just beyond Rae’s Creek on the lowest part of the grounds.
That allowed Dr. Alister MacKenzie, the course architect, to plant a green between the creek and southern property line, which in turn forced golfers to deal with that creek, which in turn led to decades of great relief but also, what we remember most, heartbreak.
BACKYARD MASTERS: Can’t go to the Masters? This Florida couple brings it to their backyard.
Originally it was the third hole, but prior to the second Masters in 1935, the nines were reversed and the third became the 12th.
Rae’s Creek is at its widest inside Augusta National grounds — 60 feet wide, four feet deep. It’s surrounded by golf’s most colorful backdrop — blooming azaleas and dogwoods, guarded by majestic pines that look protective but, in dark moments, wreak havoc on wind patterns and sometimes make that 12th-tee club decision more of a guess.
That whole southern section of the course, with its natural beauty, eventually earned a proper label — Amen Corner. As serene as that sounds, it’s the not-so-holy water fronting the 12th green that snaps golfers out of any temptation to relax and enjoy the views.
In case you want to sound smart around friends this week, here are some other tidbits about Mr. Rae’s creek.
• Rae’s Creek branches out into 74 tributary streams along its 10 miles. The narrow creek running along the left side of No. 13 and across the front of its green is a Rae’s Creek tributary, though many mistakenly refer to it as Rae’s Creek.
Some years, it pays quite a tribute, gobbling its own share of misplayed shots and dashing the hopes of contenders.
• The pond left of the No. 11 green was once fed by Rae’s Creek, before a dam was built in 1950.
• Augusta National lore includes the story of former President Dwight Eisenhower, a club member, hitting his tee shot on No. 12 into Rae’s Creek, where it nestled atop a jut of sand sticking above the water. Urged to wade in toward the sandbar and play the shot, Ike quickly sank to his knees in mud and had to be rescued by two Secret Service agents.
• “Every putt breaks toward Rae’s Creek.” Toss out that old gem and prepare to do some splainin’. Here goes …
The southern tip of Augusta National is the lowest part of the 365 acres, 175 feet lower than the northern boundary. Where Rae’s Creek passes behind the 11th green is said to be the exact low point.
Therefore, natural forces create a pull toward Rae’s Creek and the 11th green. Putts breaking toward the north will break a tad less due to that pull. East-to-west putts that look straight might have a wee bit of pull to the south.
What do the longtime Augusta caddies call this phenomenon? Yes, “the pull.”
Example: In 1986, when Jack Nicklaus made the final birdie of his comeback (“Yes SIR!”), his 12-foot putt on No. 17 looked like it had an inch of break to the right, but Nicklaus suggested, “No, Rae’s Creek will keep it straight.”
He was right.
This is why many (or most) Augusta yardage books include a red dot on each green, indicating the direction of Rae’s Creek.

FLOYD COMMENTARY: Experiencing Augusta National's beauty and mystique
The 86th Masters golf tournament opened on Thursday. I always look forward to the television coverage of this event, and I watch it from the beginning to the very end.
The beauty of the Augusta National Golf Club is beyond description. Having seen the course three ways — as a spectator on the grounds, a television viewer and a player — I can attest to the fact there is no more beautiful venue than Augusta National.
My first adventure with Augusta National was in the mid-1960s, when I would join Goodyear buddies Bob Tinsley, Stan Hollingsworth, Red Partridge and others in renting a house in Augusta and walking the course’s hallowed grounds for four days.
Even then, the rental prices for the houses were high, but when split up among our group, not so much. We did this for several years until the ticket prices became out of reach for us working boys.
But our experience attending the tournament gave us an insight into course layout and individual holes. Consequently, when viewing the competition on television, we knew more than the average bear.
I would not have another direct relationship with Augusta National until the mid-1980s, when I played the course with my best friend. We were the guests of a club member.
Playing Augusta National was one of the most memorable events of my life. I wish every golfer in the United States — no, the world — could have the Augusta experience. I have played most of the famous golf courses in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, and there is nothing to compare.
We played Augusta National’s par-3 course the day we arrived, and played the main course the next day. Since my friend and I were guests of Augusta National and staying overnight, our member and host, who was local, was also required to stay on the premises. While onsite, he was required to wear the green jacket that identified him as a member.
After playing the par-3 course, the four of us had a wonderful dinner at the club with a lot of conversation. One of the stories that was told concerned the bridge across No. 12, the notorious par-3 that is guarded by Rae’s Creek.
The hole’s official name is Golden Bell and the famous bridge across Rae’s Creek is known as the Hogan Bridge. Rae’s Creek flows in front of the 12th hole and to a golfer standing on the 12th tee, Rae’s Creek flows from the right to the left. The famous bridge was named after Ben Hogan in a ceremony that took place on April 2, 1958.
There is a story about the bridge and how the present one was designed and built. Sometime back, one of the Augusta members was heard complaining about “that awful looking bridge” that provided a passageway for golfers to reach the No. 12 green. This was before the present bridge was built.
The member was very verbose in his criticism of the bridge. He was so loud his complaint was duly noted by the club president.
About two weeks after his remarks, a construction crew showed up at No. 12. The crew began construction of a temporary bridge to provide passage to the hole while construction of a new bridge took place. The construction crew built a coffer dam to hold the water back from the new construction site. The new bridge was constructed, and it is the beautiful one you see across Rae’s Creek today.
But that is not the end of the story. The member who complained loudly about the old bridge was sent a bill for the construction of the new one. The costs were quite substantial.
And that is still not the end of the story. The complaining member paid the bill for construction of the new bridge.
Is the story true? I believe it is. What member of Augusta National would let a few thousand dollars stand in the way of a membership in the club?
As I mentioned, I have played a lot of famous golf courses. There is only one that I remember every shot on every hole, and that is the Augusta National Golf Club. The course and its mystique are very special.

Tuesday, April 05, 2022MINISTER of National Security Dr Horace Chang says that the issue of how many guns a single licensed firearm holder can legally own, at any one time, should be addressed in the regulations for the current Bill.
Dr Chang was responding last Wednesday to a question raised by Joint Select Committee (JSC) Government member, Senator Charles Sinclair, about recent newspaper articles naming well-known persons who had several licensed guns at the same time.
The committee has been reviewing the Firearms (Prohibition, Restriction and Regulation) Act 2022 in Parliament.
Senator Sinclair noted that two prominent persons, now deceased, had been named in the press, “and there are others within the country who we have heard comments about, in relation to the number of firearm licences they had acquired”.
The Jamaica Observer had reported late February that two former government ministers, who died four months apart in 2018, left behind a total of 14 guns, which are still in the care of the Firearms Licensing Authority (FLA), the national firearms control body, awaiting disposal.
The two were former People's National Party (PNP) Housing Minister Easton Douglas, and former Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Minister of National Security Dwight Nelson.
Chang, who thanked Senator Sinclair for raising the issue, said that although he had not read any of the articles, he has been made aware of the issue. However, he felt that it should be addressed in Parliament, where it could be debated among members.
“... It seems to be something that ought to be included in the regulations rather than the Act itself, going forward,” he commented.
Dr Chang explained that the firearms in question were for sport shooting, are “very specific” and can be accommodated. However, he was concerned about the number of firearms owned by one person without involvement in any special gun shooting activity.
“I think we should look at it, and I urge that the team doing the regulations to bring this up as well, and come back with it to Parliament where we can have more discussions,” he added.
Senator Sinclair said that he was very interested in hearing from the policymakers as to why one person should be granted as many as seven handgun permits, when it is not necessary for any sport competition.
The Bill was tabled in the House of Representatives on February 10, introducing harsher penalties for offences connected to the illicit trade, manufacture, stockpiling, possession and use of illegal guns. It is aimed at addressing the challenges being experienced with respect to the proliferation of illegal firearms, and to increase the applicable penalties for breaches of provisions relating to prohibited weapons.

Former TD John Deasy has called for a ban on the issuing of new licences and the renewal of existing licences for handguns until there is a clear picture of how many such licences exist.
Mr Deasy told RTÉ Radio’s Today with Claire Byrne show that the current levels of licences for handguns were the beginning of handgun culture in Ireland.
There had been a threefold increase in licences since 2015, he added.
In 2003, there were zero handgun licences in the country, but following legal action there was a legal lacuna and some gardaí began to issue licences, he said. Within five years the number of licences had risen to 1,800.
People were buying large calibre weapons "as accessories" he claimed.
There are also huge discrepancies around the country with some regions not issuing any licences with others issuing them freely, he said, adding: "There was no centralised system."
"It was an entirely subjective system with the decision left to local Superintendents. There was a gap in the law."
Scant information
When details were revealed in an article in The Irish Times, the Government acted and licences were halved, he said, but in recent times the numbers have crept back up again, and by September 2021 the number of licences for handguns in the country was at 2,600.
Nobody is clear on what is happening as information is scant, Mr Deasy said.
While the calibre of the hand guns being licensed at present was lower in many instances, he said, the figures spoke for themselves. His fear was that young men would use hand guns to settle disputes rather than their fists.
There was no information on who held the licences or where they were in the country, he said, adding there was a need to keep a handgun culture out of Ireland.
"Look at what happened in Uvalde and in Buffalo. Look at our society, there are things we need to preserve in Irish society."
Members of the Dáil were in the dark on the issue, Mr Deasy said, adding the Department of Justice need to get details on the matter as "this is happening under their noses." |

Our revelations follow a fatal shooting in Skye earlier this month which claimed the life of dad-of- six John MacKinnon.
Finlay MacDonald, 39, from the island, was charged with the murder and three attempted murders.
Official statistics in June revealed there were 341 firearm offences in 2019/2020, an increase of three per cent on the previous 12 months.
The most common gun crime was possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life or to commit crime. Around one in 10 involved robbery.
There was also an increase in the number of incidents where a gun was fired and caused injury, from 27 to 34.
Under UK gun laws, individuals must have a reason – such as work, sport or leisure – to own or use a gun.
And despite the concerning crime figures, a growing number of licences have been granted by Police Scotland.
The figure of almost 103,000 this year was up from 101,440 in 2021, 98,506 in 2020 and 96,247 in 2019.
A police spokesman said: “The number of firearms and shotgun certificates issued has fallen between 2019 and 2022.
“Air weapon certificates have increased steadily since the introduction of legislation in 2017 and accounts for the overall increase in certificates on issue.”
The number of gun licences currently in circulation include 25,345 for firearms such as rifles, 44,503 for shotguns and 33,015 for air weapons.
There has been a jump of 43 per cent in the numbers of permits being handed out for airguns – from 23,062 in 2019 to 33,013 this year.
Licensing of air weapons was introduced in 2017 following the death in Glasgow of two-year-old Andrew Morton.
Andrew was shot with a high-powered air rifle by drug addict Mark Bonini in March 2005 in Easterhouse, Glasgow, and died two days later.
Bonini was the first person in Britain to be convicted of murder with an airgun. He was sentenced to life and told he must serve 13 years before he can apply for parole.
Andrew’s death resulted in calls for air rifles to be banned and his parents campaigned for 12 years for an “Andrew’s Law. Users now have to be over 18 and have a licence to own a gun. Shops have to be licensed to sell them and it also became an offence to carry one in public.
Bonini remains behind bars.
Mick North, whose five-year-old daughter Sophie was one of 16 pupils killed by Thomas Hamilton in Dunblane in 1996, would like to see tougher checks on those applying for gun licences.
At present they are done every five years, when licences are renewed. But Dr North, founder of Gun Control Network, said this should be cut to two or three years. He would also like to see the £90 gun licence fee increased to £200 and thinks it should be compulsory for an applicant’s close family and ex-partners to be interviewed.
He added: “I still think there are worries about the adequacy of the licensing process.”
In the wake of the Dunblane tragedy, more than 500,000 people signed a petition calling for tighter gun laws after a Sunday Mail campaign. It led to a ban on handguns and restrictions on other weapons.
Scottish Conservative MSP Russell Findlay said: “Many people have legitimate reasons to possess firearms and it is important that a fair and robust licensing system has public confidence.”

Gun violence is out of control. Last weekend there were nine mass shootings and they did not even make the headlines because it has become an almost daily occurrence.
Why does anyone outside of the military need high-capacity weapons which can kill so many people in just seconds?
To drive a car or truck, to hunt or fish, to open a beauty salon, all of these require a license. Many licenses require passing a test. Why can’t this be the rule for gun ownership? If convicted of a crime while using a gun, why should that person be allowed to own a gun again?
So far no one in government has done anything to regulate gun ownership. The number of guns in the hands of those who shouldn’t own them continues to multiply.
What can be done? First, start with mandating licenses for gun ownership. Then, restrict military-style weapons to only those who are actively in the military. If only these two things could become law, perhaps we’d see a decline in senseless deaths. It is not a complete solution, but is a start, and start we must.

Representatives from all 20 of the island’s Women’s Institute (WI) branches attended Government House for afternoon tea, hosted by Lady Lorimer.
Also in attendance were local WI chairman, Lillian Ingram, members of the Board of Trustees, and national representative, Pam Beedan.
The occasion also saw the formal handover of the Oak Blanket Chest, which graced the Isle of Man Bedroom for many years.
The Chest was commissioned in the 1950s and is a testament to the skill of the island’s local craftsmen involved.
Lady Lorimer, who has accepted the invitation to be the new Honorary President of the IOM Federation, was also presented with a copy of the official Denman Commemorative Book, chronicling the aims and objectives of the famous college throughout its long life.

Life in the WIs with GFWI chairman Janice Cole
This month’s column is an insight into Women’s Institute history and record keeping from Sheila Rowley, GFWI archivist.
‘Since the very early days of the WI, branches have kept records of their meetings and activities, opening a window onto social and local history over the last century. Among my tasks as archivist, I have the fascinating job of working my way through many of the records and scrapbooks held in the Gloucestershire Archives, piecing together their history and adding relevant details to the online database for future researchers to find.
‘WIs have been at the centre of so much of town and village life in Gloucestershire since July 1916 when Cirencester WI was the first formed in the county, just one year after the first in the UK (at Llanfair PG on the Island of Anglesey). And it is all recorded for posterity in the records. There are so many stories of WI members making a difference in their community: fundraising to build village halls, education and training opportunities for women, the many local and national campaigns that WI members have led over the years and, of course, the vital service of fruit and vegetable preserving during wartime. Collecting rosehips to make syrup (a good source of vitamin C) and paper for recycling as far back as the 1940s. Donating fresh eggs to the local cottage hospital every Easter. Hosting parties and making Christmas gifts for the residents of local homes and institutions. “Adopting” families in distressed areas, both in the UK and abroad. Collecting and writing village histories, surveys of village churchyards and tombstones... even surveys of local water and sewerage needs!
‘As for the members themselves, there are tales of charabanc outings to the seaside, to stately homes and gardens; celebrations of coronations and jubilees, fetes and fairs, cream teas and BBQs; art shows and carnival floats, scarecrows and post-box toppers. Learning new crafts and skills, from glove making to gliding, and pancake racing to polymer clay jewellery making. Early meetings in cold village halls lit by oil lamps, boiling hot water for tea on an oil stove, the room heated (if lucky) by a coal fire. The annual potato-growing competition, to see who could encourage the greatest weight of spuds from their one seed potato in spring.
‘WIs have had twinning links with women’s groups all over the world, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand. During the years of food rationing in the UK, many WIs were very grateful recipients of food parcels from their “twins”, which would be saved up for a special Christmas celebration.
‘All this and much more can be found looking through the old record books and scrapbooks. In Gloucestershire, we are fortunate to work closely with Gloucestershire Archives who store and protect all our old records – all 4,000+ volumes of them – in safe, dry conditions, using acid-free folders and boxes. So, whether your interest is family, local or social history, the WI and its records may well be an invaluable resource.’

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Australia-accelerates-missile-upgrade-due-to-17057766.php | CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia has accelerated plans to buy long-range strike missiles years ahead of schedule because of growing threats posed by Russia and China.
Defense Minister Peter Dutton said Tuesday the accelerated rearming of fighter jets and warships would cost 3.5 billion Australian dollars ($2.6 billion) and increase Australia’s deterrence to potential adversaries.
“There was a working assumption that an act of aggression by China toward Taiwan might take place in the 2040s. I think that timeline now has been dramatically compressed,” Dutton told Seven Network television.
“When we look at what’s happened in the Ukraine, there is the prospect of Russian going into Poland or somewhere else in Europe. That would be a repeat of the 1930s and that’s not something that we should allow to happen,” Dutton added, referring to the beginning of World War II.
Under a revised timetable, FA-18F Super Hornet fighter jets would be armed with improved U.S.-manufactured air-to-surface missiles by 2024, three years earlier than planned.
The JASSM-ER missiles would enable fighters to engaged targets at a range of 900 kilometers (560 miles).
Australia’s ANZAC Class frigates and Hobart Class destroyers would be equipped with Norwegian-made Kongsberg NSM missiles by 2024, five years ahead of schedule.
The missiles would more than double the warships’ strike range.
The new rearmament timetable comes after the Solomon Islands announced a draft security pact with China. Under its terms, China could send military personnel to the South Pacific islands to help maintain order and for other reasons. It could also send warships to the Solomons for stopovers and to replenish supplies, which had led to speculation about the possibility of a Chinese naval base there.
China has denied seeking a military foothold in the islands and accused others of raising tensions.
U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Samuel Paparo told reporters in Washington on Monday the Solomons-China pact was “very concerning.”
“I’m undoubtedly concerned ... and it’s a concern for all of our partners throughout the western Pacific and notably Australia and New Zealand,” Paparo told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Anne-Marie Brady, global fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington and professor in politics at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand said a hostile power in control of the Solomons would have a direct impact on sea lanes linking South Pacific states.
“There is no justification for China establishing a military presence in the Solomon Islands,” Brady said.
“It is meant to cut off Australia and New Zealand from U.S. military support. ... It is both an immediate and long-term threat,” she added. | 0 | 73,472 | 0 | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Australia-accelerates-missile-upgrade-due-to-17057766.php | 2022-04-05 05:25:33+00:00 | CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia has accelerated plans to buy long-range strike missiles years ahead of schedule because of growing threats posed by Russia and China.

The best of any clear and sunny spells through the rest of this week are likely to be in the south and west of the UK, but it will definitely feel colder than it has over the last week or so.” |
