https://www.krqe.com/news/world/as-ukraine-war-squeezes-energy-uk-looks-again-at-fracking/ | LONDON (AP) — The British government on Tuesday ordered scientists to take a new look at the risks of fracking, as soaring fuel prices and squeezed supplies prompt a rethink about the country’s energy supply.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng asked the British Geological Survey to review the evidence and report by June “on the geological science of shale gas fracturing and the modelling of seismic activity in shale rocks in the U.K.”
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves pumping water and chemicals at high pressure to fracture shale rock and release gas. The process has long been controversial in Britain, with attempts to establish a fracking industry meeting strong opposition from environmentalists.
The government suspended fracking in November 2019, saying it was not possible to accurately predict tremors associated with the drilling. That looked like a fatal blow to the industry as Britain sought to move away from fossil fuels and cut U.K. carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — and the sanctions imposed by the West on Russia, a major oil and gas supplier — have made countries including the U.K. rethink their energy supplies with the goal of reducing dependence on imported fuel. The fossil fuel industry and some lawmakers are pressing Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government to end the fracking ban and to increase the extraction of North Sea oil and gas.
Kwarteng said it was important to keep “all possible energy generation and production methods on the table.”
He added that the pause on fracking would remain “unless the latest scientific evidence demonstrates that shale gas extraction is safe, sustainable and of minimal disturbance to those living and working nearby.”
Cuadrilla Resources Ltd., which operated Britain’s only active shale wells until 2019, welcomed the review as a “tentative first step” towards overturning the moratorium.
“We trust that this review will allow Britain’s huge shale gas resources to be exploited,” said chief executive Francis Egan.
But Friends of the Earth energy activist Danny Gross said “energy efficiency and developing the U.K.’s vast renewable power potential are the best ways to deal with the energy crisis and bring down soaring fuel bills.”
On Thursday the U.K. government will release its long-term energy strategy, which is expected to call for more nuclear power plants and offshore wind farms — but not more onshore wind farms, which are seen by some Conservative lawmakers as vote-losing eyesores.
The United Nations’ climate panel warned Monday that temperatures on Earth will shoot past a key danger point unless greenhouse gas emissions fall faster than countries have committed to. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change revealed “a litany of broken climate promises” that “put us firmly on track toward an unlivable world.”

The Yellow Jackets broke .500 for the first time this season and earned their first season sweep after Saturday’s outing with Concord. The Yellow Jackets hit Concord pitching for 17 hits between the two games, including back-to-back jacks to walk-off game two. Emily Moore won game one for her first victory of the season and Megan Shoemaker earned her first collegiate career victory.
GAME 1: WVSU 4, CONCORD 3
Kasey Murphy got the start and pitched four scoreless innings. Lindsey Phares got aboard in the bottom of the third inning with a lead-off single and Emily Moore grabbed a two out walk just before Paige Scruggs hit a double to score both Moore and Phares.
Concord cut the lead in half in the top of the fifth inning, then plated two more in the top of the seventh to go up by a single run, 3-2.
Murphy and Ruth picked up back-to-back walks. Moore doubled to left center, scoring Murphy but Ruth was thrown out at the plate trying to score the winning run. The win was merely delayed as Scruggs singled, scoring Moore and securing the game one victory.
Scruggs went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Moore went 2-for-3 with a double and the other RBI.
GAME 2: WVSU 6, CONCORD 5
Autumn Thompson got the call for game two and also pitched four scoreless innings. The Yellow Jackets didn’t waste any time taking the lead with Kerrigan Moore scoring on a wild pitch in the opening frame.
All was quiet until Concord plated two runs to take the lead in the top of the fifth. Kerigan Moore singled in the bottom of the frame, then stole second. Phares reached on a fielding error and scored K. Moore, tying the game for the second time.
Concord took the lead back in the top of the sixth, plating two more and chasing Thompson, 4-2. E. Moore got a lead-off double, then briefly exited when Hannah Wilson entered to pinch run. Scruggs singled then stole second, allowing Wilson to score on the throw. Layla Mendoza doubled two batters later, scoring Scruggs and tying the game for the third time.
The tie was once again short lived as Concord plated the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh. E. Moore was chased after giving a lead-off walk, bringing in Shoemaker.
Autumn Thompson led-off the inning with a ground out. Phares then tied it up with a solo shot to left field, chasing the Concord pitcher. The first pitch from the new pitcher to Emma Ruth was sent over the fence in left field giving the Jackets their second straight walk-off victory in dramatic fashion.
Ruth went 2-for-4 with the game-winning jack. Scruggs went 2-for-3, scoring a run. K. Moore went 1-for-3 and scored twice. Thompson pitched five innings, walking two and fanning two. Shoemaker got the win in one inning of work, allowing only one hit.
The Jackets concluded the homestand Sunday with a twinbill against Glenville State at Lady Jackets Field, where they recorded their fifth and sixth consecutive home wins of the season, shutting out the Pioneers in game one with an 8-0 run-rule shortened game, and an 8-7 come-from-behind victory in game two.

Juliet 3-2 Tuesday.
Mt. Juliet had just taken a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth on RBIs by Annalise Mecklenberg and Brylee Sayer against Kyleigh Pitzer before the back-to-back bombs.
The Lady Wildcats took the lead later in the same inning after Cassidy Goddard singled, moved up on Madison Carey’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Taelor Chang’s single.
Pitzer pitched five innings, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out four.
Kenzie Miller tossed the final two frames for the save.
Taylor Haymans surrendered six hits and a walk while striking out six for Mt. Juliet.

St. Vincent’s record moves to 17-3 overall and 6-4 in the PAC, wile Waynesburg improves to 20-7 overall and 9-3 in league play.
In the opener, Waynesburg jumped out to an early lead and then kept the Bearcat bats in check, as SVC managed just four hits in the defeat.
Olivia Persin led off the top of the first with a ringing double to left but remained stranded on second base. The Yellow Jackets then got on the board first with a pair of runs in the home half of the inning with a two-out double.
Haley Bicko singled in the second and Kelsey Tobin in the third for SVC, but both runners remained stranded, before the Yellow Jackets came through with another two-out, run-scoring hit with a triple in the bottom of the third to make it 3-0. Two innings later, the hosts used a double and a single to make it 4-0.
In the top of the seventh, Alexandra Dillner singled, but the visitors were unable to mount a late rally, as Waynesburg pitcher Sydney Wilson got a line out and a ground out to end the game.
Meghan Braun started and worked five innings for the Bearcats, allowing four runs on seven hits with one strikeout, before Bicko came on in relief and threw a scoreless sixth inning.
Wilson earned the complete-game shutout, allowing the four hits with nine strikeouts.
The Bearcats got on the board first in game two, as Persin singled to lead off, moved to second on a Tobin bunt and scored on a single from Jessica LaPorte.
The lead was short-lived, however, as the Yellow Jackets produced another big two-out hit in the bottom of the first, with a two-run double pushing them in front, 2-1.
The teams traded zeroes over the next two frames, before LaPorte led off the fourth with a towering home run to left field, her fourth of the season, to tie the game at 2-2.
The score would remain knotted until the bottom of the sixth, when Waynesburg broke open the game with three unearned runs to take a 5-2 lead.
St. Vincent refused to go down without a fight. Bicko led off the seventh with a single, before Mackenzie Larimer drew a pinch-hit walk. After a pair of outs, Tobin reached on an error to load the bases, but Wilson escaped the jam by inducing a game-ending groundout.
LaPorte led the SVC offense with a 2-for-3 effort at the plate, while Persin reached base twice on a single and walk.
SVC starter Olivia Bushore turned in a strong effort in the circle, going the distance and allowing three earned runs on six hits with three strikeouts and just one walk.
Wilson earned her second complete-game win of the day, striking out seven.
The Bearcats will be back in action on Saturday, April 23, welcoming Geneva College to Latrobe for a 2 p.m. Senior Day doubleheader. Prior to game one, the Bearcat senior class of Tobin, Mary Maceda and Abbey Ginter will be honored. |

https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/proud-boys-leader-pleads-not-guilty-to-jan-6-charges/ | WASHINGTON (AP) — Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges that he remotely led a plot to stop Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
Though he wasn’t at the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, prosecutors say Tarrio organized encrypted chats with Proud Boys members in the weeks before the attack, had a 42-second phone call with another member of the group in the building during the insurrection and took credit for the chaos at the Capitol.
Police had arrested Tarrio in Washington two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. The day before the Capitol was attacked, a judge ordered Tarrio to stay out of Washington.
Tarrio’s indictment said that instead of staying out of town, he met with Oath Keepers founder and leader Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes and others in an underground parking garage for about 30 minutes on Jan. 5.
His lawyers have said the evidence against Tarrio was weak and relies mostly on text messages and social media.
A judge has postponed the May 18 trial for Tarrio and five others affiliated with the far-right group.
Prosecutors sought the postponement to give them more time to assess and share with opposing lawyers new information gathered in the investigation. Some defendants in the case agreed with the postponement request.
A new trial date is expected to be picked during an April 21 hearing. | 0 | 12,768 | 0 | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Proud-Boys-leader-pleads-not-guilty-to-Jan-6-17059791.php | 2022-04-05 22:32:17+00:00 | WASHINGTON (AP) — Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges that he remotely led a plot to stop Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.

https://www.krqe.com/news/world/un-18-nations-have-gone-green-on-climate-raked-in-green/ | Proponents of clean energy and thinks tanks have long said it’s possible to reduce emissions and keep an economy growing. Now the latest report from the world’s top climate scientists says 18 countries have done just that, sustaining emissions reductions “for at least a decade” as their economies continued to grow.
The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) did not name the countries, citing inconsistency in the data.
But using figures from Global Carbon Project, which are not part of the report, The Associated Press found 19 nations where the pre-pandemic annual carbon dioxide emissions were at least 10 million metric tons less in 2019 than in 2010. They are the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, Ukraine, France, Spain, Greece, Netherlands, Mexico, Finland, Singapore, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Poland, Romania and Sweden.
The IPCC identified three common factors for countries that have been able to decarbonize: They used less energy, transitioned away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and increased the energy efficiency of their products.
Such countries “can export a model that shows we can reduce emissions and still have high levels of well-being,” said Greg Nemet, a professor of energy and public policy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison La Follette School of Public Affairs. ”We can export policies that have played a role in achieving that.”
While the list of countries points a way forward, it also raises questions of equity. The United States, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom are among the largest contributors to historical carbon emissions. Their residents already have electricity and to a large degree, vehicles.
Nemet, who is also a lead author of the IPCC report, added that developed countries that have been historical contributors to climate change and have been able to decarbonize need to take a “leadership” role in helping developing countries do the same.
Historic emissions and discussions of responsibility are always discussed during U.N. climate conferences. But getting industrialized countries to agree on whether compensation for damages is warranted or how much they should pay to help poorer countries invest in green technologies, has all proved elusive.
The least developed countries in the world are estimated to have emitted just 3.3% of global greenhouse gases in 2019, Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, pointed out in a statement to the AP. Some experts note that developing countries often are forced to borrow money at higher rates of interest than developed nations, which can make large capital projects prohibitive.
“The 18 countries that have balanced emissions reduction and economic growth are indeed examples that give us hope for the future but… all developed nations have a historic responsibility to ensure that they lean in – whether on the Paris Accord targets of delivering $100 billion a year in climate finance, on ensuring poorer countries have access to technology and knowledge to make these shifts,” or by leading, making these transitions first, she said.
Michael Grubb, a lead writer on the IPCC report and professor of energy and climate change at the University College of London, said in the report that scientists ran economic and emissions scenarios to see what would happen globally at different levels of carbon pollution reduction. In nearly every scenario — including the “most aggressive” ones to cut carbon emissions — the global gross domestic product still nearly doubled by mid-century. Even in the scenario with the deepest emission cuts, GDP jumped 96%, Grubb said.
“The point is in practice, what we do in climate mitigation in macroeconomic terms is really going to be lost in the noise of the overall effectiveness of our economic policies,” he said.
Grubb said the IPCC report declined to name the 18 countries because the data for some counted only carbon dioxide while for others included all greenhouse gases. Baseline years also differed. Depending on the parameters, there are more nations that reduced emissions while growing their economies, he said.
Patricia Romero-Lankao, a senior scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and lead author of the portion of the IPCC report on national and subnational policies, said she’s optimistic. But she stressed how much more must be done to aid disadvantaged communities and regions in decarbonizing and repairing the impacts of climate change.
“This is not a technical problem,” she said. “We need to understand what they need, what challenges they face and how we can adapt our toolset to help us respond to that.”

Patricia Romero-Lankao, a senior scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and lead author of the portion of the IPCC report on national and subnational policies, said she’s optimistic. But she stressed how much more must be done to aid disadvantaged communities and regions in decarbonizing and repairing the impacts of climate change.
“This is not a technical problem,” she said. “We need to understand what they need, what challenges they face and how we can adapt our toolset to help us respond to that.”

Now the latest report from the world’s top climate scientists says 18 countries have done just that, sustaining emissions reductions “for at least a decade” as their economies continued to grow.
The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) did not name the countries, citing inconsistency in the data.
But using figures from Global Carbon Project, which are not part of the report, The Associated Press found 19 nations where the pre-pandemic annual carbon dioxide emissions were at least 10 million metric tons less in 2019 than in 2010. They are the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, Ukraine, France, Spain, Greece, Netherlands, Mexico, Finland, Singapore, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Poland, Romania and Sweden.
The IPCC identified three common factors for countries that have been able to decarbonize: They used less energy, transitioned away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and increased the energy efficiency of their products.
Such countries “can export a model that shows we can reduce emissions and still have high levels of well-being,” said Greg Nemet, a professor of energy and public policy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison La Follette School of Public Affairs. ”We can export policies that have played a role in achieving that.”
While the list of countries points a way forward, it also raises questions of equity. The United States, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom are among the largest contributors to historical carbon emissions. Their residents already have electricity and to a large degree, vehicles.
Nemet, who is also a lead author of the IPCC report, added that developed countries that have been historical contributors to climate change and have been able to decarbonize need to take a “leadership” role in helping developing countries do the same.
Historic emissions and discussions of responsibility are always discussed during U.N. climate conferences. But getting industrialized countries to agree on whether compensation for damages is warranted or how much they should pay to help poorer countries invest in green technologies, has all proved elusive.
The least developed countries in the world are estimated to have emitted just 3.3% of global greenhouse gases in 2019, Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, pointed out in a statement to the AP. Some experts note that developing countries often are forced to borrow money at higher rates of interest than developed nations, which can make large capital projects prohibitive.
“The 18 countries that have balanced emissions reduction and economic growth are indeed examples that give us hope for the future but… all developed nations have a historic responsibility to ensure that they lean in – whether on the Paris Accord targets of delivering $100 billion a year in climate finance, on ensuring poorer countries have access to technology and knowledge to make these shifts,” or by leading, making these transitions first, she said.
Michael Grubb, a lead writer on the IPCC report and professor of energy and climate change at the University College of London, said in the report that scientists ran economic and emissions scenarios to see what would happen globally at different levels of carbon pollution reduction. In nearly every scenario — including the “most aggressive” ones to cut carbon emissions — the global gross domestic product still nearly doubled by mid-century. Even in the scenario with the deepest emission cuts, GDP jumped 96%, Grubb said.
“The point is in practice, what we do in climate mitigation in macroeconomic terms is really going to be lost in the noise of the overall effectiveness of our economic policies,” he said.
Grubb said the IPCC report declined to name the 18 countries because the data for some counted only carbon dioxide while for others included all greenhouse gases. Baseline years also differed. Depending on the parameters, there are more nations that reduced emissions while growing their economies, he said.
Patricia Romero-Lankao, a senior scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and lead author of the portion of the IPCC report on national and subnational policies, said she’s optimistic. But she stressed how much more must be done to aid disadvantaged communities and regions in decarbonizing and repairing the impacts of climate change.
“This is not a technical problem,” she said. “We need to understand what they need, what challenges they face and how we can adapt our toolset to help us respond to that.”

Mrs. W.Va. answered questions and spoke to students about two books, “What Makes Me Me” and “Kindness is a Superpower.”
She said that the book, “What Makes Me Me,” was written by both Mrs. Michigan and her son who has Tourette’s syndrome.
Mrs. W.Va. told students he was treated differently due to having Tourette’s syndrome. The book shares a story about treating people the same. She said, “just because someone is a little different than you doesn’t make them any less special than you.”
She choose to share “Kindness is a Superpower,” as well as she felt this book goes well with “What Makes Me Me” to help spread a positive message about being kind to everyone.
“My message to the students today is really to almost like the pay it forward ripple effect, so you know if you do something kind not only are you going to feel good about it that person that your kind to is going to feel good and that might inspire them to do something kind for someone else,” said Fowler. “and if we are all doing these kind things just imagine how much better the world can be.”
Mrs. W.Va. donated both books to Johnson Elementary, so students could read these books, and she hopes her words today will inspire students to do good in school, their community and to just be a better person overall.
Mrs. Michigan wanted one of her books in every state and so Mrs. W.Va. said she did her part and donated these books to West Virginia.
Mrs. W.Va. said she is Mrs. W.Va. until next March and would love to visit other schools in the area. |

Wednesday 6 April 2022 06:13, UK
A man has been jailed for life after murdering his stepdaughter by injecting her with a lethal dose of heroin, before hiding her body in a ditch behind an abandoned house.
Wesley Hadsell killed Anjelica "AJ" Hadsell in 2015 while she spent a break from university at her family home in Norfolk, Virginia.
Hadsell kidnapped the 18-year-old, assaulted her and then injected her with a lethal dose of heroin.
Police found her body five weeks later, partially buried in a drainage ditch behind an abandoned house. A post-mortem found she died from acute heroin poisoning and "homicidal violence".
Hadsell, 50, was sentenced to life in prison plus 15 years, after being convicted of first-degree murder, concealing a body and possessing drugs in jail.
During his sentencing hearing he continued to plead his innocence, claiming Anjelica took her own life.
"I have been wrongfully convicted of these crimes but this fight is not over," he said.
Judge L Wayne Farmer said Hadsell's claim was "offensive", adding: "You took a beautiful life and dumped it like trash."
Shortly before Anjelica died, Hadsell's wife had kicked him out of the house because of drug use, prosecutors said.
Hadsell was charged with the murder in 2018 and his first trial in 2020 was declared a mistrial after two days over disagreements on what evidence the jury should be allowed to hear.
Police investigating the case said Hadsell kidnapped Anjelica while she was folding laundry and listening to music in the living room.
Prosecutors said he then tried to distract police by lying and planting evidence in various places, including one of her jackets at a friend's home.
Hadsell admitted to breaking into the home during an interview with a local TV station but denied hiding the jacket there. | 0 | 11,874 | 0.35982 | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10689797/Virginia-man-gets-life-plus-15-years-stepdaughters-death.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-05 22:27:38+00:00 | Virginia man gets life plus 15 years in stepdaughter's death
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - A Virginia man convicted of murdering his 18-year-old stepdaughter and hiding her body behind an abandoned house in 2015 has been sentenced to life in prison plus 15 years.
Wesley Hadsell was convicted earlier this year of killing 18-year-old Anjelica "A.J." Hadsell. He was sentenced Monday by a judge to the maximum allowed for each charge he was convicted of, including first-degree murder, concealing a body and possessing drugs in jail, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
Hadsell asserted his innocence, suggesting his stepdaughter had killed herself, drawing a sharp rebuke from Circuit Judge L. Wayne Farmer at sentencing.
"I have been wrongfully convicted of these crimes, but this fight is not over," Hadsell told Farmer, saying he would appeal.
Farmer scolded Hadsell for trying to pin the crime on others, then implying the woman took her own life.
"To blame her - it´s offensive," the judge said. "You took a beautiful life and dumped it like trash."
Prosecutors said the defendant had kidnapped the stepdaughter, assaulted her and then injected her with a lethal dose of heroin. She was spending her spring break from Longwood University at her family´s home in Norfolk when she disappeared in March 2015.
Her body was found five weeks later partially buried in a drainage ditch behind an abandoned house. A medical examiner determined she had died from acute heroin poisoning and "homicidal violence."

However, with product names like Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F, it can be hard to figure out exactly which product you need for your skin concerns. Fortunately, since The Ordinary’s ingredients are so straightforward, a quick online search or a consultation with the nearest Sephora employee can help you zero in on the right product. For example, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is a form of vitamin C that can brighten skin and reduce signs of aging. Or, if you want to alleviate dry skin, look for moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin.

Business Unity South Africa (Busa) chief executive yesterday Cas Coovadia said the lifting of the State of Disaster and the passing of the 30-day transition period would give South Africa the opportunity to accelerate its efforts to grow the economy.
“We now urge the government to demonstrate courageous leadership in taking the tough decisions to attract investment and work with business and other social partners to grow our economy,” Coovadia said.

Fedhasa national chairperson Rosemary Anderson said the issue lay in the fact that many countries did not offer vaccinations for children between five and 12 years, and neither does South Africa.
“This means even if parents are fully vaccinated, a family with children aged between five and 12 years has no choice but to have to pay for PCR tests, which we know in certain countries like the UK is not only onerous to obtain, but also expensive,” she said.

The health regulations under the National Health Act that were gazetted for public comments until April 16 are meant to ensure a mechanism to control and manage the resurgence of Covid-19 and an outbreak of any pandemic in the future.
The Regulations in the main seek to introduce few amendments to the Surveillance and Control of Notifiable Diseases and Medical Conditions, to include Covid-19 as such.
DearSA, which was also taking the government to court over the state of disaster, said they were very concerned with the government's intentions to move certain far-reaching restrictions to the National Health Act.
DearSA chief executive Gideon Joubert said doing so would effectively make these lockdown regulations permanent, and effectively allow the state of disaster to continue indefinitely.
“The government is essentially clinging to the extraordinary emergency powers they would now have to surrender,” Joubert said. “There is no disaster, hence there is no honest reason to amend regulations.”

The ending of the state of catastrophe was “largely symbolic”, as most “South Africans have learnt to live with the virus”, mentioned GOOD secretary-general Brett Herron.
“Despite some criticism about the restrictions that have been imposed, our government has managed the pandemic following the science and in line with the way the vast majority of countries have done so.

That’s according to AfriForum which says President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on Monday evening, on the lifting of the state of disaster, won’t change anything since the current Covid-19 regulations will remain in place for a further month, after which government’s new health regulations will come into force.

National state of disaster
In a televised address to the nation, Ramaphosa said the national state of disaster, which was implemented more than two years ago at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, would end effective from midnight on Monday.
However, certain “transitional provisions” like the wearing of face masks indoors and regulations on gatherings would remain in place for a period of 30 days, while new regulations in terms of the National Health Act come into effect.
The draft health regulations have been published for public comment and citizens have until 16 April to make submissions.
New health regulations
AfriForum said government’s decision to end the state of disaster came about due to the lobby group and other organisation’s legal action to challenge the constitutionality of the legislation.
AfriForum said the draft health regulations amounted to the permanent legal enactment of the lockdown rules, which were afforded to government under the Disaster Management Act.
Reiner Duvenage, AfriForum’s campaign officer for strategy and content, said some regulations that were struck down in court such as forced quarantine, would take effect again after the 30 day period ends.

Duvenage said AfriForum was therefore preparing legal commentary in opposition to the new health regulations.
He said the commentary would outline that the regulations are irrational and illegal.
“The government’s ending of the state of disaster should be seen as merely symbolic, since it is planning on permanently enacting Covid-19 measures into the health regulations,” Duvenage said in a statement.
“We as AfriForum strongly and unequivocally oppose the government’s sly and power-hungry actions. We owe it to our members and the general public to prevent this outrageous abuse of power,” he added.
Along with its legal commentary, AfriForum said it had created a petition against the proposed health regulations. The petition had apparently garnered around 25 000 signatures.
Busa
Meanwhile, Business Unity South Africa (Busa) disagreed with AfriForum on its views on the lifting of the national state of disaster.
Busa’s CEO Cas Coovadia said the organisation believed that the declaration of a state of disaster by government at the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic was the right decision to make.
Coovadia said the legislation had, by and large, had a positive impact on South Africa’s ability to manage the impact of the pandemic on lives and livelihoods.
“The lifting of the state of disaster and the passing of the 30-day transition period gives SA the opportunity to accelerate our efforts to grow our economy in a sustainable and inclusive manner, thus creating much-needed jobs,” he said in a statement.
Busa urged government to demonstrate courageous leadership in taking tough decisions to attract investment and work with business and other social partners to grow the economy.
“We galvanised ourselves as a country, as all sectors of society, to collaborate to beat the pandemic! We focused on a critical issue and united to address it.
“We must now do the same to attract investment, grow our economy and create sustainable jobs. This is the only way to deal with the severe socio-economic problems our country faces! Business stands ready to work with government as a credible and robust partner!”
Cosatu
At the same time, the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) also welcomed the end of the state of disaster.
The trade union federation called on government to reinforce and invest in healthcare institutions, and address the real crisis of a shortage of health workers, supplies and infrastructure.
‘We should not be found wanting again and the time to build the National Health Insurance is now,” Cosatu’s parliamentary coordinator, Matthew Parks, said in a statement.
While supporting the lifting of the state of disaster, Parks said it was critical that all South Africans appreciate that Covid-19 remained a real threat to lives and livelihoods of millions and that the fifth wave of infections was expected as winter approaches.
“Everyone has a responsibility to play their part in managing the new normal. This includes wearing masks indoors, sanitising, social distancing, and for everyone to vaccinate and receive their booster shots.”
Cosatu also welcomed Ramaphosa’s announcement that the Covid 19 social relief of distress grant (SRD) of R350 would remain in place until 2023.
Parks called on government to make the grant permanent and link it to the food poverty level of R624.
“It provides a foundation for a basic income grant,” he said.

Ramaphosa took to the podium on Monday evening to announce that the national state of disaster, first introduced in March 2020 when Covid-19 was detected in the country, would come to an end at midnight.
However, the president said government had put in place transitional measures for a period of 30 days. These include the wearing of face masks, which will continue to be compulsory except for outdoors events.
Restrictions on gatherings will also continue with 1 000 people indoors and 2 000 outdoors, while international travelers will need a proof of vaccination or a PCR test. The R350 social relief of distress grant also stays for now.
“Although the pandemic is not over, we can be confident that we are in a better position now. We are hopeful that the worst is behind us,” said Ramaphosa.
EFF spokesperson Sinawo Thambo said: “In what has been a long drawn-out series of unscientific, irrational, and inconsistent application of lockdown regulations, Cyril Ramaphosa has finally come to the realisation that the ad-hoc power provisioned by the pandemic cannot be sustained forever.”
Thambo said the pandemic exposed a government that dwells in the chambers of corruption even in the face of death, adding that it should be noted that Ramaphosa presided over the death of poor South Africans and oversaw corruption related to personal protective equipment.
“The corruption went to the highest level in his office, further confirming his complicity in corrupt activity.”
He promised that the EFF would scrutinise the National Health Act and the supposed pandemic regulations that would be integrated into the act.
“We must make sure this government does not smuggle regulations into law that will give them the power to micro-manage the political terrain and enhance their ability to conduct illegal and corrupt procurement,” he added.
The DA shared agreed with the EFF, saying it was worrying that despite the formal lifting of the state of disaster, the government now seemed hellbent on normalising the restrictions by introducing regulations to the National Health Act.
DA national spokesperson Cilliers Brink said the opposition party has penned a letter to Health Minister Joe Phaahla contesting the amendments.
“We call on all South Africans to scrutinise these proposed amendments and to lodge their objections before or on the 16th of April. We have suffered under these restrictions for 750 days. We cannot afford for it to be normalised,” Brink said.
But the IFP said it would continue to support any measures that are guided by international best practices.
Mkhuleko Hlengwa, IFP national spokesperson said: “We are further in full support of measures that are designed to give our ailing economy a much-needed ‘jab’ of its own.
“We hope that in the coming days and weeks, South Africans will be able to return to a semblance of ‘normal’ life. Let us continue to work together and rebuild and heal as a nation.”

https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/ISSER-undertakes-research-initiative-to-deepen-digital-financial-inclusion-1508606 | Business News of Wednesday, 6 April 2022
Source: GNA
The Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER), University of Ghana is set to undertake a $4.92 million research project on policies and incentives to deepen Digital Finance Retail Distribution Networks (DFRDN) in Low-and-Middle-Income countries (LMICs).
The initiative will focus on deepening digital financial inclusion and how to improve women’s access to financial services in LMICs.
It will be launched in the first half of 2022 with an event to Kickstart the project and the issuance of the first Requests for Proposals (RFP) for pilot studies and experimental research.
The project is led by Professor Peter Quartey, Director of ISSER with Professor Francis Annan of the Georgia State University, Dr David Ameyaw, Visiting Scholar, ISSER and Director of International Centre for Evaluation and Development (ICED), and Dr Simon Bawakyillenuo of the ISSER, as Co-Principal Investigators.
The DFRDN Project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will be led by ISSER and implemented through any qualified field partner, including but not limited to the Institute’s own internal research project teams.
It will seek to engage researchers from the Global North and the Global South, with the goal of expanding the representation of researchers from the Global South in development studies, fostering future partnerships and capacity building.
Prof. Peter Quartey, in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, said: “A meaningful response to the growing interest and pressure to deepen digital finance requires strong data and evidence-led insights to guide the framing of policies.
He said the DFRDN project was timely and opportune for the ISSER to contribute and "deepen digital financial inclusion with data and illuminating findings".

Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the five-year project which started in November 2021, will also focus on women’s access to financial services in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), poor households, Small and Medium Enterprises and other retail businesses.
The initiative, which cost about $5 million, will engage researchers from the Global North and the Global South and seek to foster future partnerships and capacity building through funded research.
ISSER will coordinate the project, including recruiting, managing staff, and providing project leadership.
The initiative aims to demonstrate both how to effectively expand the reach of agent networks through public policy and commercial solutions that can plausibly be scaled up, and to advance public knowledge about the structural constraints limiting agent networks globally.
Professor Peter Quartey, Director, ISSER, said the project was a platform for sharing research findings, news and information, as well as resources for researchers, industry players, policymakers, and civil society organizations interested in collaborating on the initiative.
He said the ReFinD research initiative would see qualified research teams, including researchers based at ISSER and those in other locations in Ghana and across the globe, implement competitively selected projects on how to expand digital finance, especially retail distribution networks.
Recommendations and associated outputs, the ISSER Director further stated, would be aimed at promoting access to finance among marginalized groups like women and people experiencing poverty with focus on the research initiative, along with its potential to advance the knowledge and skills of researchers, compelling elements that strongly supported ISSER’s vision.
Professor Francis Annan, Scientific Co-Chair of the Project, speaking on the Framework Paper, said markets for digital financial services (DFS), particularly mobile money and agent banking had proven poverty alleviating benefits and were growing rapidly in LMICs and being transformed by several digitization initiatives.
However, he said, it turned out that retail agent networks were necessary building blocks to a robust digital financial ecosystem due to their ability to convert money between physical cash and digital currency and serve as onboarding channels for a broader set of digital financial tools and services.
He said the ReFinD project, as part of public and commercial solutions, would work to expand the digital finance retail agent network especially in rural areas by relaxing registration requirements for agents and creating a tiered agent registration system.
Also, he said, it would enable new rural agents’ business models, including traveling agents, agents embedded in nodal infrastructure like health clinics and subsidising the start-up capital for new agents in low transaction volume regions.
Prof. Annan expressed optimism that the research would advance research and provide rigorous evidence that would inform policy and practice about digital financing retailing in LMICs.
Those, he explained, called for rigorous experimental variation in the market to generate actionable evidence and to justify commercial interventions, policies, and regulations.
“But pursuing these require meaningful partnerships between academic researchers and various actors in the DF marketplace service providers, businesses, lenders, regulators, and practitioners,” he said.
Prof. Ernest Aryeetey, former Vice Chancellor, University of Ghana, and a member of Policy Committee of the Project, told the Ghana News Agency the project had been designed to ostensibly deepen digital financial inclusion among the vulnerable and allow for Ghanaian researchers to work with the world best researchers to enhance their competitiveness.
He expressed optimism that policy makers would be in readiness for the outcomes to shape policy, reap the dividends therein and promote the development of the country.
Mr Seth Garz, Senior Programmes Office, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said as part of efforts to enhance inclusive digital financing, his outfit was undertaking programmes to play a catalytic role in broadening the reach of digital payment systems, particularly in poor and rural areas, and expanding the range of services available on those systems.

The funds would be used to support research that would facilitate access to finance among marginalised groups such as women and individuals experiencing extreme poverty in low and middle-income countries through evidence-led findings.
The five-year project, Retail Finance Distribution (ReFinD) Research initiative, began from November 2021 and end in November 2026.
It intends to expand the reach of mobile agent networks through public policy and commercial solutions to help reach the unbanked population.
It will also advance public knowledge about the structural constraints limiting agent networks (mobile money agents) globally.
The project is being supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to fighting poverty, disease and inequity around the world.
Significance
Giving an overview of the initiative at the launch in Accra yesterday, the Director of ISSER, Professor Peter Quartey, said the research would play a significant role in assisting policymakers to implement informed decisions of matters of financial inclusion of the marginalised segment of the population.
The director also said the initiative would enable research teams to carry out what he described as “competitively selected research projects on the topic and come up with recommendations to promote access to finance among marginalised groups such as women and people experiencing poverty".
Prof. Quartey said two international conferences would be held on the programme: one at the initial stages of the project and the other towards the end of the first five years.
He said they were also seeking additional funding from other donor agencies to sustain the project in the long term.
While announcing the initiative’s website as refind.isser.ug.edu.gh, the director said selected research activities were expected to come from local and international institutions in low and middle-income countries.
He said funds would be allocated for proposal development and pilot projects, among other activities.
Appreciation
A former Vice-Chancellor of the UG, Prof. Ernest Aryeetey, expressed gratitude to the foundation for supporting ISSER to ensure financial inclusion of the marginalised.
He said the advent of digitalisation had impacted positively on development in the financial sector, especially improved financial services to lower income households and businesses.
The Head of Research of the Bank of Ghana, Philip Abradu Otoo, who spoke through a virtual medium, expressed the bank’s commitment to support the initiative, saying it was in line with the government's digitalisation drive.
The President for FinTech and Payments Association, a private firm, Martin Kwame Awagah, said the country's financial technology sector was experiencing significant growth, development and innovations.
A Senior Programmes Officer for Research at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Dr Seth Garz, said by 2030, about 80 per cent of adults in the world were expected to use and access any form of financial services.
Dr Garz said it was the vision of the foundation to have 60 per cent of households who made less than $2 a day to enjoy financial services by 2030. |
https://fox59.com/reviews/br/electronics-br/headphones-br/best-headphones-for-walking/ | Which headphones are best for walking?
Walking can be a great way to stay active, but it’s not the most exciting activity. However, listening to your favorite tunes or podcast as you stroll along can make it more fun.
Choosing a quality pair of headphones designed for active people will provide you with the best experience. However, there are a few styles and features to consider before buying new headphones.
Styles of headphones for walking
Over-ear
Over-ear headphones are large and completely cover the ears. Because of their size, they usually offer the most bass and have the longest-lasting battery life if they’re wireless. Although many find them too bulky to wear for workouts, they’re fine for walking since it’s not a rigorous activity.
On-ear
On-ear headphones rest firmly on the ears and are more lightweight than over-ear headphones, making them more suitable for traveling and exercising. However, they usually don’t pack as much bass because they’re smaller.
In-ear
In-ear headphones, commonly referred to as earphones or earbuds, are the most lightweight, portable headphones. They’re also the most comfortable since they don’t rest on top of your head, so they’re ideal for exercising. Although there are varying styles, most are suitable for walking.
What to look for in quality headphones for walking
Wireless
Wired headphones are cheaper than wireless headphones and great for listening in a sedentary position, such as while working at the office or listening to music in your room. However, headphone wires are cumbersome and can make you feel constrained as you move, making wireless headphones the better option for walking and other exercises.
Ingress Protection rating
An IP rating refers to a product’s dust and water resistance and is expressed as IPXX. After IP, the first digit refers to its resistance to dust and dirt, while the second relates to moisture resistance. An X means the product hasn’t been sufficiently tested for protection in that area.
For example, headphones with an IPX7 rating have an unknown dust and dirt protection rating but can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes to a depth of 1 meter.
You don’t need headphones with a high IP rating if the only exercise you’ll be using them for is walking. However, walking for extended periods, especially in a warm environment, will cause you to sweat, so your headphones should at least have some moisture resistance.
Noise-canceling
Noise-canceling technology drowns out the external sounds in your environment. With noise-canceling technology, you can tune the level of ambient sound to suit your environment.
It’s a great feature for walking indoors on a treadmill or outdoors on a secure path. However, most of the time, you’re going to want to hear ambient sound when walking outdoors. Using noise-canceling can expose you to hazards such as traffic and cyclists since you wouldn’t be able to hear them.
Controls and voice assistants
It can be dangerous to be distracted while walking outdoors, so hands-free controls and access to voice assistants are advisable and convenient. Many headphones let you access voice assistants like Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant and have buttons for managing phone calls and your music. With them, you don’t have to use your phone to switch songs, adjust the volume or take a call.

For example, headphones with an IPX7 rating have an unknown dust and dirt protection rating but can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes to a depth of 1 meter.
You don’t need headphones with a high IP rating if the only exercise you’ll be using them for is walking. However, walking for extended periods, especially in a warm environment, will cause you to sweat, so your headphones should at least have some moisture resistance.
Noise-canceling
Noise-canceling technology drowns out the external sounds in your environment. With noise-canceling technology, you can tune the level of ambient sound to suit your environment.
It’s a great feature for walking indoors on a treadmill or outdoors on a secure path. However, most of the time, you’re going to want to hear ambient sound when walking outdoors. Using noise-canceling can expose you to hazards such as traffic and cyclists since you wouldn’t be able to hear them.
Controls and voice assistants
It can be dangerous to be distracted while walking outdoors, so hands-free controls and access to voice assistants are advisable and convenient. Many headphones let you access voice assistants like Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant and have buttons for managing phone calls and your music. With them, you don’t have to use your phone to switch songs, adjust the volume or take a call.

https://fox59.com/reviews/br/electronics-br/headphones-br/best-headphones-for-walking/ | Which headphones are best for walking?
Walking can be a great way to stay active, but it’s not the most exciting activity. However, listening to your favorite tunes or podcast as you stroll along can make it more fun.
Choosing a quality pair of headphones designed for active people will provide you with the best experience. However, there are a few styles and features to consider before buying new headphones.
Styles of headphones for walking
Over-ear
Over-ear headphones are large and completely cover the ears. Because of their size, they usually offer the most bass and have the longest-lasting battery life if they’re wireless. Although many find them too bulky to wear for workouts, they’re fine for walking since it’s not a rigorous activity.
On-ear
On-ear headphones rest firmly on the ears and are more lightweight than over-ear headphones, making them more suitable for traveling and exercising. However, they usually don’t pack as much bass because they’re smaller.
In-ear
In-ear headphones, commonly referred to as earphones or earbuds, are the most lightweight, portable headphones. They’re also the most comfortable since they don’t rest on top of your head, so they’re ideal for exercising. Although there are varying styles, most are suitable for walking.
What to look for in quality headphones for walking
Wireless
Wired headphones are cheaper than wireless headphones and great for listening in a sedentary position, such as while working at the office or listening to music in your room. However, headphone wires are cumbersome and can make you feel constrained as you move, making wireless headphones the better option for walking and other exercises.
Ingress Protection rating

https://fox59.com/reviews/br/tools-br/best-kitchenaid-hand-mixer/ | Which KitchenAid hand mixer is best?
Mixing ingredients by hand not only takes a lot of time, but it can also be physically fatiguing. You may find that you quickly break a sweat trying to whip your egg whites to stiff peaks or get that perfect consistency on whipped cream. Powered hand mixers take all the hassle and effort out of those jobs, and KitchenAid makes some of the best.
KitchenAid mixers are available at various price points and in both cordless and corded models. They also come in a wide range of stylish colors, including red, tangerine, aqua cream and blue velvet.
One of the best things about hand mixers is how versatile they are, and that is where the KitchenAid Nine-Speed Digital Hand Mixer KHM926OB really shines. As the name says, it boasts nine speeds, and it comes with four types of attachments to handle all kinds of tasks.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers vs. KitchenAid stand mixers
Stand mixers and hand mixers are commonly found in home and commercial kitchens. Both are very versatile tools, and there is a lot of overlap between the jobs they can perform. Some notable differences between the two may make one better suited for your personal needs than the other.
Perhaps the two most significant benefits of hand mixers are the lower cost and compact size. KitchenAid stand mixers can easily cost $400-$500, while hand mixers cost less than half of that. This makes them a better choice for those on a budget. Hand mixers are also notably smaller and easier to store, making them ideal for kitchens limited in space.
Stand mixers win in terms of convenience and versatility. In addition to things like mixing dough, beating eggs and blending ingredients, stand mixers can also be used for grinding meat, making ice cream and rolling out pasta, as long as you have the necessary attachments. Stand mixers can also perform many of their tasks autonomously without you having to stand there holding the machine the entire time.
Corded vs. cordless
KitchenAid hand mixers are available in corded and cordless models. Cordless models are easier to maneuver without having to worry about being tethered to a power outlet the entire time or a cord knocking something over on the counter.
The downside to cordless models is that you’ll have to remember to charge them regularly, and there is always a chance they could run out of juice in the middle of cooking. Thankfully, KitchenAid has mitigated this issue by making their cordless hand mixers capable of working while plugging them into charge.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A QUALITY KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
Speeds
KitchenAid mixers have anywhere from three to nine speed settings depending on the model. The more speeds a hand mixer has, the more jobs you can use it for since some delicate tasks may require slower speeds while others are best performed at very fast speeds.
Soft start
Hand mixers with a soft start feature begin slowly and then work up to the set speed. This is very helpful for avoiding unwanted messes since you’ll have better control over the mixer and are less likely to send some of the ingredients flying out of the bowl.
Self-standing design
Though not vital to performance, a self-standing design is a nice-to-have feature. This allows you to set down the mixer to focus on another task without having to lay it on its side with the mixing attachments touching the counter.
Ejection button
Anything that adds convenience when in the kitchen helps to make your job easier, and ejection buttons do just that. They eliminate any potential hassle involved in trying to pull out the mixing attachments. Instead, you push a button, and they pop right off.
Attachments
The number of attachments a hand mixer has dictates its versatility in the kitchen. At the very least, every model will come with egg beaters. It is also common for them to include a whisk. Some less common attachments you may also get with some premium models are dough hooks and a blending rod.
HOW MUCH YOU CAN EXPECT TO SPEND ON A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers cost $50-$200.
KITCHENAID HAND MIXER FAQ
Do KitchenAid hand mixers come with a warranty?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are backed by a limited one-year warranty covering replacement parts and labor for fixing manufacturer defects.
Are KitchenAid hand mixers difficult to clean?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are designed to be easy to clean. They have minimal cracks and crevices for food to get stuck in, and the attachments are all dishwasher safe.

Mixing ingredients by hand not only takes a lot of time, but it can also be physically fatiguing. You may find that you quickly break a sweat trying to whip your egg whites to stiff peaks or get that perfect consistency on whipped cream. Powered hand mixers take all the hassle and effort out of those jobs, and KitchenAid makes some of the best.
KitchenAid mixers are available at various price points and in both cordless and corded models. They also come in a wide range of stylish colors, including red, tangerine, aqua cream and blue velvet.
One of the best things about hand mixers is how versatile they are, and that is where the KitchenAid Nine-Speed Digital Hand Mixer KHM926OB really shines. As the name says, it boasts nine speeds, and it comes with four types of attachments to handle all kinds of tasks.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers vs. KitchenAid stand mixers
Stand mixers and hand mixers are commonly found in home and commercial kitchens. Both are very versatile tools, and there is a lot of overlap between the jobs they can perform. Some notable differences between the two may make one better suited for your personal needs than the other.
Perhaps the two most significant benefits of hand mixers are the lower cost and compact size. KitchenAid stand mixers can easily cost $400-$500, while hand mixers cost less than half of that. This makes them a better choice for those on a budget. Hand mixers are also notably smaller and easier to store, making them ideal for kitchens limited in space.
Stand mixers win in terms of convenience and versatility. In addition to things like mixing dough, beating eggs and blending ingredients, stand mixers can also be used for grinding meat, making ice cream and rolling out pasta, as long as you have the necessary attachments. Stand mixers can also perform many of their tasks autonomously without you having to stand there holding the machine the entire time.
Corded vs. cordless
KitchenAid hand mixers are available in corded and cordless models. Cordless models are easier to maneuver without having to worry about being tethered to a power outlet the entire time or a cord knocking something over on the counter.
The downside to cordless models is that you’ll have to remember to charge them regularly, and there is always a chance they could run out of juice in the middle of cooking. Thankfully, KitchenAid has mitigated this issue by making their cordless hand mixers capable of working while plugging them into charge.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A QUALITY KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
Speeds
KitchenAid mixers have anywhere from three to nine speed settings depending on the model. The more speeds a hand mixer has, the more jobs you can use it for since some delicate tasks may require slower speeds while others are best performed at very fast speeds.
Soft start
Hand mixers with a soft start feature begin slowly and then work up to the set speed. This is very helpful for avoiding unwanted messes since you’ll have better control over the mixer and are less likely to send some of the ingredients flying out of the bowl.
Self-standing design
Though not vital to performance, a self-standing design is a nice-to-have feature. This allows you to set down the mixer to focus on another task without having to lay it on its side with the mixing attachments touching the counter.
Ejection button
Anything that adds convenience when in the kitchen helps to make your job easier, and ejection buttons do just that. They eliminate any potential hassle involved in trying to pull out the mixing attachments. Instead, you push a button, and they pop right off.
Attachments
The number of attachments a hand mixer has dictates its versatility in the kitchen. At the very least, every model will come with egg beaters. It is also common for them to include a whisk. Some less common attachments you may also get with some premium models are dough hooks and a blending rod.
HOW MUCH YOU CAN EXPECT TO SPEND ON A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers cost $50-$200.
KITCHENAID HAND MIXER FAQ
Do KitchenAid hand mixers come with a warranty?

Are KitchenAid hand mixers difficult to clean?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are designed to be easy to clean. They have minimal cracks and crevices for food to get stuck in, and the attachments are all dishwasher safe.

The recall affects certain Triumph Trident models that were manufactured between 1.2.2021 to 31.5.2021.
The defect involves the stand on these models, which may bend under a certain weight - causing the motorbike to fall and be damaged, or cause injury to the rider.
A statement released this evening read: “A safety issue has been identified with the affected products, where the side stand of the affected Trident models may bend under the weight of the motorcycle.
“There is a risk that the motorcycle could become unstable and may fall if it is parked on the side stand, increasing the risk of injury.”
According to Nextcar Limited, there are approximately 12 affected products in the Republic of Ireland and so those who are affected will be contacted.
“Nextcar Limited will directly contact all affected customers advising them to make an appointment with their local Authorised Repairer where any necessary repairs/replacements of parts will be carried out,” the statement says.

Brompton Bicycle, which is based in Brooklyn, announced the recall of about 2,230 of its Electric Folding Bicycles on Thursday, June 9.
The company said the bicycles' mudguards are positioned too close to the front wheel, which can result in the wheel locking up and leading to a sudden decelaration of the bicycle if an object gets caught between the mudguard and the front tire.
The company has received 10 reports of faulty mudguards causing the bicycles to crash, including nine reports of injuries such as broken bones, shoulder dislocations, bruising and chipped teeth, according to the announcement.
The bicycles were sold through Brompton bicycle retailers, on the company's website, and on Brompton retailers' websites between May of 2019 and March of 2022, Brompton Bicycle said.
Brompton Bicycle said customers should stop using the recalled bicycles and contact a Brompton dealer for a free repair.

August 3, 2022, age 85
BURLEY—JoAnn LaVeve Phillips Hurst, died peacefully at her home in Lindon, Utah, on Wednesday, August 3, 2022. Her family is so grateful for her life and her example of a strong, righteous woman of faith.
JoAnn was born December 27, 1936, in Rupert, Idaho, to Clarence Hartsell and Florence LaVeve Wheeler Phillips. She grew up in Declo, Idaho, and graduated from Declo High School in 1954. She married Clinton LaMar Hurst on September 11, 1958, in the Salt Lake City Temple. JoAnn and LaMar resided for most of their married life in Burley. They had seven children while living there and added JoAnn’s niece, Gretchen Cook, to their family after the passing of JoAnn’s sister, Veneta, in 1982.
JoAnn worked hard at home and at various jobs to help provide for her family. After the children left home, JoAnn and LaMar moved to Rupert, where they enjoyed the peace and quiet of their country home on “an acre and a bit.” The couple served in the Australia Sydney South Mission from 2003 to 2005. Upon returning from their mission, they spent several years serving in the Twin Falls Idaho Temple. They moved to Lindon, Utah, in 2016.
JoAnn was an inexorable source of strength and encouragement, not only to her children, but to everyone around her throughout her life. She brought joy to others, and she loved to laugh.
She will be missed by those who survive her: children, Kim (Candi), Ray (Lorie), Kent (Darla), Carey (Darin) Perkins, Drew (Allison), Karlene (Lindsey) Altom, Vernal (Sara), and Gretchen (Darby) Newton; as well as 36 grandchildren; and 42 great-grandchildren, with three on the way. She is also survived by brother, Clarence Hartzell Phillips, Jr.; and sister, Ida Phillips Wilkinson.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, August 12, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Declo Stake Center, located at 213 W. Main St., in Declo, with Bishop Wayne Hurst officiating. Burial will be in Declo Cemetery.
Family and friends will be received from 5 until 7 p.m. Thursday, August 11, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St., in Burley, and from 10 until 10:45 a.m. Friday, preceding the funeral, at the church.
A webcast of the funeral will be available and maintained at rasmussenwilson.com.

BURLEY – JoAnn LaVeve Phillips Hurst, died peacefully at her home in Lindon, Utah, on Wednesday, August 3, 2022. Her family is so grateful for her life and her example of a strong, righteous woman of faith.
JoAnn was born December 27, 1936, in Rupert, Idaho, to Clarence Hartsell and Florence LaVeve Wheeler Phillips. She grew up in Declo, Idaho, and graduated from Declo High School in 1954. She married Clinton LaMar Hurst on September 11, 1958, in the Salt Lake City Temple. JoAnn and LaMar resided for most of their married life in Burley. They had seven children while living there and added JoAnn's niece, Gretchen Cook, to their family after the passing of JoAnn's sister, Veneta, in 1982.
JoAnn worked hard at home and at various jobs to help provide for her family. After the children left home, JoAnn and LaMar moved to Rupert, where they enjoyed the peace and quiet of their country home on "an acre and a bit." The couple served in the Australia Sydney South Mission from 2003 to 2005. Upon returning from their mission, they spent several years serving in the Twin Falls Idaho Temple. They moved to Lindon, Utah, in 2016.
JoAnn was an inexorable source of strength and encouragement, not only to her children, but to everyone around her throughout her life. She brought joy to others, and she loved to laugh.
She will be missed by those who survive her: children, Kim (Candi), Ray (Lorie), Kent (Darla), Carey (Darin) Perkins, Drew (Allison), Karlene (Lindsey) Altom, Vernal (Sara), and Gretchen (Darby) Newton; as well as 36 grandchildren; and 42 great-grandchildren, with three on the way. She is also survived by brother, Clarence Hartzell Phillips, Jr.; and sister, Ida Phillips Wilkinson.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, August 12, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Declo Stake Center, located at 213 W. Main St., in Declo, with Bishop Wayne Hurst officiating. Burial will be in Declo Cemetery.
Family and friends will be received from 5 until 7 p.m. Thursday, August 11, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St., in Burley, and from 10 until 10:45 a.m. Friday, preceding the funeral, at the church.
A webcast of the funeral will be available and maintained at rasmussenwilson.com. |

The benchmark index was down about 1% in morning trading on Tuesday.
In a note published before the market opened on Tuesday, Morgan Stanley Equity Strategist Michael Wilson said the index could rise another 5% as "it's not surprising we are now seeing some relief given how oversold the market had become."
However, while more people on Wall Street are now concerned about risks from higher inflation and slowing growth, "that doesn't mean it's fully discounted," Wilson said.
"We remain firmly in the bear market camp but relief rallies can happen at any time, and it appears we are now in the midst of one," said Wilson. He projects the S&P 500 will be around 3,400 by mid August, which would be an 18% decline from Friday's close.
The market has already had one rally that faded this year, with the S&P 500 rising some 11% in March before giving up all of those gains.
The latest rally appeared predicated in part on expectations that the Federal Reserve may slow its plans to raise rates later this year. BofA strategists said last week the central bank would likely pause its tightening in September, leaving its benchmark overnight interest rate in a range of 1.75% to 2% if financial conditions worsened.
However, the Fed's tightening path is far from certain.
Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday that the central bank should be prepared to raise interest rates by a half percentage point at every meeting from now on until inflation is decisively curbed. After already raising rates by 75 basis points so far this year, the Fed is widely expected to raise rates by 50 basis points at each of its next two meetings.

Summary
- In terms of going forward, a great deal will depend on how the market reacts to a number of key pieces of information on tap for next week.
- The Federal Open Market Committee meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the usual press conference to follow after the Wednesday meeting.
- On Thursday next week we get the first look at Q4 GDP, which economists are predicting will show year-on-year growth of 5.2 percent.
It has been quite an opening act for the year ahead. On occasions like this we always find that a little perspective can be helpful. With that in mind, let’s consider the price performance for the S&P 500 in the first three weeks of 2022 in the context of the past two years.
We’ll see today and in the days ahead whether the 200-day moving average, a technical indicator that has no inherent substance but does tend to function as a support level for short-term trading strategies, signals enough of a buy-the-dip opportunity to reverse some of the recent weakness.
At least as of now, the pullback in equities is not particularly unusual (it’s also worth noting that the next twelve months' P/E ratio is currently as low as it has been any time since the pandemic lockdown period in March-April 2020). In terms of going forward, a great deal will depend on how the market reacts to a number of key pieces of information on tap for next week.
Setting the Table for March
First up of note next week is the Fed. The Federal Open Market Committee meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the usual press conference to follow after the Wednesday meeting.
The FOMC is always followed closely, but this time even more so than usual as investors are expecting guidance on the calendar for raising interest rates. All signs point to at least three, and possibly more, rate hikes in 2022 given the Fed’s recent strong stance on fighting inflation as job number one (as we discussed in detail in last week’s commentary).
One bit of chatter currently making the rounds in financial circles is that at the March FOMC meeting the Fed will do a “twofer” and raise the Fed funds target by 0.5 percent rather than the more customary 0.25 percent increment.
Jay Powell is unlikely to tip his hand that clearly next Wednesday. But if he pushes back hard against 50 basis points in March, the market may interpret that as a relatively dovish signal, which in turn could lend some support to stocks.
Reminder, We’re Still Growing
On Thursday next week we get the first look at Q4 GDP, which economists are predicting will show year-on-year growth of 5.2 percent. Assuming the actual number comes in somewhere around the estimate (never a sure thing) that may also be a positive sign.
With all the focus on inflation, it is easy to forget that the economy is still growing, with no meaningful signs of a recession on the horizon. It is the rare market pullback that turns into a sustained bear market in the absence of an economic recession (Black Monday of 1987 being the only recent exception, and even that was relatively short-lived).
The GDP number will come in the middle of a thick batch of earnings reports, with tech heavyweights Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) among the many companies that will be issuing Q4 reports next week.
So far in this still-young earnings season, the glass seems to be more half-empty than half-full, with analysts expressing disappointment over forward guidance (see for example Netflix’s (NFLX) guidance on Q1 new subscribers at 2.5 million compared to Street expectations of 4 million) and concerns about inflation’s effect on profit margins.
Nonetheless, overall Q4 earnings growth is still expected to come in around 20 percent, and the outlook for 2022 earnings remains in the range of mid-high single digits.
Another Look at Inflation
That brings us to Friday, when the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, comes out. The consensus forecast has headline PCE registering 5.7 percent and the core (ex food and energy) showing 4.8 percent.
This is the one nobody wants to see coming in way ahead of expectations. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently opined that, in the event of the pandemic finally getting under control once the omicron wave peaks, she would expect to see inflation back down around two percent by the end of this year.
That would be welcome news, but it will very much depend on the Fed’s ability to demonstrate credibility in sufficiently fighting off more endemic inflation through monetary tightening (while at the same time not choking off growth and hastening a recession).
So there is a lot at stake next week. In the meantime, we might advise taking another look at that 2-year S&P 500 chart above and tuning out the predictable cacophony in the financial media with their red flashing arrows and hyperventilating anchors. Pullbacks happen. Discipline, patience and rational thinking get us through them.

An intense selloff hit Wall Street on Monday as traders got rattled by worries of entrenched inflation and a possible recession. The S&P 500 slumped nearly 4% to enter a bear market, now off more than 21% from its record in January. The rout even hit the energy industry (a rare segment that has performed well in 2022), while cooling valuations rocked the risky crypto sector (Bitcoin tumbled below $21,000) and Treasury yields spiked to levels not seen in a decade (10-year jumped 28 bps to 3.44%).
Bigger picture: While the S&P 500 hit the bear threshold in May, the benchmark index quickly rebounded within the same day and has avoided closing in bear territory over the past month. Some similar price action can be seen this time around, with S&P 500 futures rallying 1% early Tuesday, though many analysts caution that things could be different this time around. "We're definitely seeing a risk-off atmosphere, a flight to quality," said Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist at Allianz Investment Management. "In that environment, people need to raise cash."
The selloff came just in time for the latest Fed meeting, which will see FOMC officials meet over the next two days and announce policy changes and economic forecasts on Wednesday. Expectations over the past month priced in a half a percentage point rate hike, but an upshift transpired following the elevated CPI reading seen on Friday. Traders now see a 99.8% chance of a 75-basis-point move, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool that measures pricing in the fed funds futures markets.
Behind the curve: "What we need to see is clear and convincing evidence that inflation pressures are abating and inflation is coming down. And if we don't see that, then we'll have to consider moving more aggressively," Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a recent Wall Street Journal conference. The central bank raised rates by a half percentage point at its meeting in May - marking the first such increase since 2000 - to a range between 0.75% and 1%. The last time the Fed raised rates by 0.75 percentage points was at a meeting in 1994, when the central bank rapidly raised rates to stave off a potential rise in inflation. |
https://www.mrt.com/sports/article/McDavid-s-OT-goal-leads-Oilers-past-Sharks-2-1-17060421.php | SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Connor McDavid scored 31 seconds into overtime off a perfect pass from goalie Mike Smith and the Edmonton Oilers rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tied it with a short-handed goal with 8:04 remaining in regulation before McDavid won it thanks to an assist from a unusual playmaker.
Smith stopped Brent Burns on a rush early in overtime and immediately played the puck ahead to a racing McDavid, who corralled it just past center ice and beat James Reimer for the winner. The goal extended McDavid's points streak to 14 games, giving him 12 goals and 15 assists during the run.
“Our goalie makes maybe the play of the year there with that save and having the presence of mind to throw it up there,” McDavid said. “Smitty plays the puck unbelievably well. He was so good all night. For that to happen, it was pretty special to be a part of that play.”
The victory moved the Oilers into second place in the Pacific Division with a one-point lead over Los Angeles, although the Kings have a game in hand. Edmonton is five points ahead of fourth-place Vegas in the division.
Smith made 31 saves to keep the Oilers in the game in regulation before helping to win it in overtime.
“It feels like we kind of maybe stole two here, but it doesn’t matter how you do it at this time of year," McDavid said.
Tomas Hertl scored a power-play goal in the first period but the Sharks were unable to hold onto the lead and lost their fourth straight. Reimer made 22 saves.
“We did everything we needed to do five on five,” coach Bob Boughner said. “That was one of our best, most solid games in a long time. A little bit of the story of our year. Outchanced a team, had so many chances. Smith played great and you can't get that second goal that you need.”
San Jose had a chance to add onto the lead with the power play midway through the third period. But the top unit failed to generate and then the second unit let the Oilers tie it when Nugent-Hopkins finished after pretty passes from Darnell Nurse and Zach Hyman set him up at the side of the net.
“I thought our team showed a little bit of resiliency," coach Jay Woodcroft said. "I didn’t think it was our smoothest game or cleanest game. But down by one heading into the third period, finding a way to win in overtime in dramatic fashion. It’s a credit to our sticktoitiveness and the hard work of all those players in that dressing room.”
San Jose capitalized on a power play in the first period when Brent Burns set up Hertl for a one-timer from the circle. Hertl beat Smith for his 27th goal of the season.
SITTING OUT
The Oilers played without 50-goal scorer Leon Draisaitl, who sat out a day after he missed practice for what was called a “maintenance day.” Draisaitl took part in an optional skate Tuesday morning but wasn't able to play in the game.
Draisaitl reached the 50-goal mark for the second time in his career on Sunday in Anaheim. He has a 12-game points streak with 12 goals and 10 assists in that span. His absence ends his streak of 354 consecutive outings that started on Oct. 24, 2017.
YOUTH MOVEMENT
The Sharks played four rookies — forwards Jonah Gadjovich, Scott Reedy and Sasha Chmelevski, and defenseman Ryan Merkley — to give them 373 games played by rookies this season. That surpassed the 1992-93 and 2005-06 seasons for the second most in franchise history to the 491 games played by rookies in the 1991-92 expansion season.
KNOCKED OUT
Sharks forward John Leonard left the game early in the second period after blocking a shot with his foot and didn't return.

“We did everything we needed to do five on five,” coach Bob Boughner said. “That was one of our best, most solid games in a long time. A little bit of the story of our year. Outchanced a team, had so many chances. Smith played great and you can't get that second goal that you need.”
San Jose had a chance to add onto the lead with the power play midway through the third period. But the top unit failed to generate and then the second unit let the Oilers tie it when Nugent-Hopkins finished after pretty passes from Darnell Nurse and Zach Hyman set him up at the side of the net.
“I thought our team showed a little bit of resiliency," coach Jay Woodcroft said. "I didn’t think it was our smoothest game or cleanest game. But down by one heading into the third period, finding a way to win in overtime in dramatic fashion. It’s a credit to our sticktoitiveness and the hard work of all those players in that dressing room.”
San Jose capitalized on a power play in the first period when Brent Burns set up Hertl for a one-timer from the circle. Hertl beat Smith for his 27th goal of the season.
SITTING OUT
The Oilers played without 50-goal scorer Leon Draisaitl, who sat out a day after he missed practice for what was called a “maintenance day.” Draisaitl took part in an optional skate Tuesday morning but wasn't able to play in the game.
Draisaitl reached the 50-goal mark for the second time in his career on Sunday in Anaheim. He has a 12-game points streak with 12 goals and 10 assists in that span. His absence ends his streak of 354 consecutive outings that started on Oct. 24, 2017.
YOUTH MOVEMENT
The Sharks played four rookies — forwards Jonah Gadjovich, Scott Reedy and Sasha Chmelevski, and defenseman Ryan Merkley — to give them 373 games played by rookies this season. That surpassed the 1992-93 and 2005-06 seasons for the second most in franchise history to the 491 games played by rookies in the 1991-92 expansion season.
KNOCKED OUT
Sharks forward John Leonard left the game early in the second period after blocking a shot with his foot and didn't return.

https://www.mrt.com/sports/article/McDavid-s-OT-goal-leads-Oilers-past-Sharks-2-1-17060421.php | SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Connor McDavid scored 31 seconds into overtime off a perfect pass from goalie Mike Smith and the Edmonton Oilers rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tied it with a short-handed goal with 8:04 remaining in regulation before McDavid won it thanks to an assist from a unusual playmaker.
Smith stopped Brent Burns on a rush early in overtime and immediately played the puck ahead to a racing McDavid, who corralled it just past center ice and beat James Reimer for the winner. The goal extended McDavid's points streak to 14 games, giving him 12 goals and 15 assists during the run.
“Our goalie makes maybe the play of the year there with that save and having the presence of mind to throw it up there,” McDavid said. “Smitty plays the puck unbelievably well. He was so good all night. For that to happen, it was pretty special to be a part of that play.”
The victory moved the Oilers into second place in the Pacific Division with a one-point lead over Los Angeles, although the Kings have a game in hand. Edmonton is five points ahead of fourth-place Vegas in the division.
Smith made 31 saves to keep the Oilers in the game in regulation before helping to win it in overtime.

CJ McCollum and Jaxson Hayes scored 23 points apiece Tuesday night as the New Orleans Pelicans clinched a Western Conference play-in berth with a 123-109 victory over the host Sacramento Kings.
Hayes, with 12 rebounds, and Willy Hernangomez, with 12 points and 12 rebounds, put up double-doubles for the Pelicans (35-44) who remained one game ahead of the 10th-place San Antonio Spurs (34-45), who won at Denver.
Davion Mitchell had 15 points and 17 assists for the Kings (29-51), who were formally eliminated from the Western postseason race two nights earlier.
Immediately following a tight first half after which the Pelicans took a 60-57 advantage to the locker room, Brandon Ingram, Herbert Jones and Hayes nailed consecutive 3-pointers in a nine-point flurry that increased the margin to 12 in the second minute of the third period.
In losing for just the third time in their past seven games, the Kings got as close as four later in the third quarter and were down just 105-99 after a Chimezie Metu hoop with 7:23 remaining in the game.
However, McCollum hit two baskets in a 8-3 burst that broke the game open and allowed the visitors to coast home with a fourth triumph in the past five games.
McCollum shot 10-for-19 and Hayes 10-for-14 en route as the Pelicans converted 51.1 percent of their shots.
Ingram finished with 17 points, seven rebounds and a team-high eight assists for New Orleans. Devonte' Graham and Trey Murphy III chipped in with 14 apiece while Larry Nance Jr. had 10.
The Kings lost despite shooting 51.3 percent. En route to a team-high 22 points, Damian Jones was the most accurate of the hosts, shooting 8-for-10.
Jeremy Lamb matched Mitchell with 15 points for the Kings, while Metu and Harrison Barnes added 12 apiece.
Barnes pulled down six rebounds for Sacramento, which split the season series with the Pelicans 2-2.

https://www.ourmidland.com/sports/article/With-strong-pitching-Loons-ready-for-chilly-17060114.php | The Great Lakes Loons, who narrowly missed a playoff berth last season, are back in Midland with something to prove in their 15th year, all as a Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate.
If you’re a fan of the long ball (and who isn’t?), last season was fun to watch as the Loons set a club record with 187 home runs. Yet when you’re a part of the Dodgers’ organization, no matter the level, the expectations are to win.
“We felt like we were a playoff team,” said manager Austin Chubb, entering his second season at the helm of the Loons. “COVID changed the format last year. Only two teams made the playoffs in a championship series format. We care about winning. Some organizations in the minors are strictly about development. Our players want to win, and development is part of winning.”
The forecast calls for a high of 46 degrees on Friday, when the Loons host the West Michigan Whitecaps in a 6:05 p.m. game at Dow Diamond to open the season.
Michigan’s cold weather is a rude awakening to Chubb, who is from Orlando, Florida, and many of his players who also hail from warm-weather climates. But the Loons, armed with a solid five-man pitching rotation backed by good defense, are built for early spring baseball in the Midwest.
“The strength of our club is solid pitching and a strong bullpen,” said Chubb, the first former Great Lakes player to serve as the team's manager. “Looking at it from a weather standpoint, if we pitch and play defense, we’ll be in games. I think this group is going to be energetic. We have two guys (Jorbit Vivas and Eddys Leonard) that are 40-man major league roster players.”
Chubb spent six weeks in Arizona for spring training, working with players for varying degrees of time. He and the Loons were greeted by chilly weather when they arrived in Midland earlier this week, but that’s part of the challenge of playing baseball in April here.
“I’ve played in Oregon and got a taste of the cold, but nothing like this,” said slugger Jonny Deluca, a Los Angeles native who returns in a Loons uniform after bashing 22 home runs in the minors last season. “We have a really good, diverse group. Our pitching is going to be elite and our position players can do a little bit of everything.”
“Jonny had a very good spring,” Chubb said of Deluca. “He was here for about half the season last year and hit about 20 home runs. But he’s more than a home run hitter. He can run and is a complete player.”
Chubb is also anticipating another big season from Leonard, a utility player extraordinaire who is widely regarded as a top Dodgers prospect. In 41 games for the Loons last season, Leonard batted .299 with eight home runs.
Kyle Hurt, a hard-throwing righthanded pitcher, is fully recovered from a shoulder impingement issue that cut short his 2021 campaign.
“It’s cold, but I’m excited,” he said. “I’ve never pitched in cold like this. Oregon was nothing compared to this.”
Hurt said he worked on developing confidence in his fastball during spring training and pitched in last fall’s Arizona League. This will be his second year of minor league ball.
“Throw a lot of strikes and try not to be too cute,” he said of his approach.
Hurt is scheduled to take the mound next Tuesday against the Peoria Chiefs in Peoria, Illinois, where the forecast calls for a high of 71 on Tuesday.
The Loons’ roster currently features 31 players — 18 pitchers and 13 position players. Pitcher Cole Percival is the son of Troy Percival, a four-time MLB All-Star pitcher who spent 14 years in the big leagues, primarily with the Angels.
Leonel Valera, the Loons’ career leader in games played at shortstop, returns to anchor the infield in his third season in Midland.
In the days leading up to the Loons’ season opener on Friday, pitching is the emphasis in practice.
“Most days have been planned around pitching,” Chubb said. “We’re playing simulated games in which guys can get cuts against live pitching.”
The skipper doesn’t expect his club to duplicate last year’s home run barrage, but does say, “We have a lineup with the ability to drive the ball out of the ballpark. This team can run. On paper, with the cold weather, our pitching staff and the ability to put the ball in play, we should be in games.”
Spring is filled with optimism, and there’s a lot of that circulating around the dugout and the entire Loons organization as they embark on the 2022 season.
“Speed and power is a pretty good combination,” Deluca said. “To me, it’s about going out and performing to the best of your ability. I have overarching goals but stay away from statistical goals. I changed my swing in spring training to try and get better. I don’t worry about getting called up. Those things are out of my control.”
Chubb feels his players are as motivated as he is this season.
“We had a chance at the postseason last season and came up a bit short, so we all have a chip on our shoulder to go even further and win a championship in Midland,” he said. | 0 | 91,094 | 0.697949 | https://www.ourmidland.com/sports/article/Loons-manager-Austin-Chubb-excited-about-his-17019462.php | 2022-04-02 11:54:39+00:00 | Austin Chubb is heading back to Dow Diamond in Midland to embark on his second year as manager of the Great Lakes Loons, the High-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Last year, Chubb saw the Loons hit a club-record 187 home runs and finish 63-57 but fall short of making the playoffs.
He has high hopes for another successful season in 2022. The Loon open at 6:05 p.m. Friday, April 8 at Dow Diamond against the West Michigan Whitecaps.
“We’re really excited about the players and group we have this year,” Chubb said in a phone interview from spring training in Arizona in mid-March.
Although Chubb couldn't name any specific players would be on the Loons roster at that time, he mentioned that the team and organization are deep at every level.
“Guys are competing for jobs right now in Arizona during spring training, and our High-A affiliate teams in the past have always had really good players and prospects,” Chubb said.
“I expect this group to be deep in starting pitching, and I think we’ll have really good arms and good position players.”
Despite the MLB’s recent lockout, the players on the minor league side weren’t affected too much and continued to play throughout it. Chubb noted that he was able to communicate with minor league players just fine during the lockout, other than players on the Dodgers' 40-man roster.
“Eddys Leonard, Jorbit Vivas and James Outman were all players on the Loons and they got added to the 40-man roster, so no one in the organization was allowed to have any contact with those guys, and that was a little strange,” Chubb said.
“We got out here to Arizona during the normal time and it was a little weird because the big league team wasn’t here,” Chubb said. “Then a few days ago, they just showed and we had already been here for three weeks.”
“It was a little different, but from our standpoint, it didn’t really affect anything,” Chubb added.
In 2021, the Loons returned to the diamond after a 604-day pause from baseball due to the global effects of COVID-19. That was their first time competing since 2019, and the Loons didn’t get to welcome a full-capacity crowd until June last year.
“We’re looking forward to a normal-type season this year,” Chubb said. “It was a strange year because of COVID, and we felt like we were a playoff team last year.
“At the end of the day, the most important thing for us is to get through a season healthy, especially because the last few years were pretty crazy for everyone,” he added.
But winning a High-A Central championship would be nice as well. The Loons' only league championship came six years ago in 2016.
“We feel like there’s unfinished business and we want to bring a championship back for Loons fans,” Chubb said. |
https://www.ourmidland.com/sports/article/With-strong-pitching-Loons-ready-for-chilly-17060114.php | The Great Lakes Loons, who narrowly missed a playoff berth last season, are back in Midland with something to prove in their 15th year, all as a Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate.
If you’re a fan of the long ball (and who isn’t?), last season was fun to watch as the Loons set a club record with 187 home runs. Yet when you’re a part of the Dodgers’ organization, no matter the level, the expectations are to win.
“We felt like we were a playoff team,” said manager Austin Chubb, entering his second season at the helm of the Loons. “COVID changed the format last year. Only two teams made the playoffs in a championship series format. We care about winning. Some organizations in the minors are strictly about development. Our players want to win, and development is part of winning.”
The forecast calls for a high of 46 degrees on Friday, when the Loons host the West Michigan Whitecaps in a 6:05 p.m. game at Dow Diamond to open the season.
Michigan’s cold weather is a rude awakening to Chubb, who is from Orlando, Florida, and many of his players who also hail from warm-weather climates. But the Loons, armed with a solid five-man pitching rotation backed by good defense, are built for early spring baseball in the Midwest.
“The strength of our club is solid pitching and a strong bullpen,” said Chubb, the first former Great Lakes player to serve as the team's manager. “Looking at it from a weather standpoint, if we pitch and play defense, we’ll be in games. I think this group is going to be energetic. We have two guys (Jorbit Vivas and Eddys Leonard) that are 40-man major league roster players.”
Chubb spent six weeks in Arizona for spring training, working with players for varying degrees of time. He and the Loons were greeted by chilly weather when they arrived in Midland earlier this week, but that’s part of the challenge of playing baseball in April here.
“I’ve played in Oregon and got a taste of the cold, but nothing like this,” said slugger Jonny Deluca, a Los Angeles native who returns in a Loons uniform after bashing 22 home runs in the minors last season. “We have a really good, diverse group. Our pitching is going to be elite and our position players can do a little bit of everything.”
“Jonny had a very good spring,” Chubb said of Deluca. “He was here for about half the season last year and hit about 20 home runs. But he’s more than a home run hitter. He can run and is a complete player.”
Chubb is also anticipating another big season from Leonard, a utility player extraordinaire who is widely regarded as a top Dodgers prospect. In 41 games for the Loons last season, Leonard batted .299 with eight home runs.
Kyle Hurt, a hard-throwing righthanded pitcher, is fully recovered from a shoulder impingement issue that cut short his 2021 campaign.
“It’s cold, but I’m excited,” he said. “I’ve never pitched in cold like this. Oregon was nothing compared to this.”
Hurt said he worked on developing confidence in his fastball during spring training and pitched in last fall’s Arizona League. This will be his second year of minor league ball.
“Throw a lot of strikes and try not to be too cute,” he said of his approach.
Hurt is scheduled to take the mound next Tuesday against the Peoria Chiefs in Peoria, Illinois, where the forecast calls for a high of 71 on Tuesday.
The Loons’ roster currently features 31 players — 18 pitchers and 13 position players. Pitcher Cole Percival is the son of Troy Percival, a four-time MLB All-Star pitcher who spent 14 years in the big leagues, primarily with the Angels.
Leonel Valera, the Loons’ career leader in games played at shortstop, returns to anchor the infield in his third season in Midland.
In the days leading up to the Loons’ season opener on Friday, pitching is the emphasis in practice.
“Most days have been planned around pitching,” Chubb said. “We’re playing simulated games in which guys can get cuts against live pitching.”
The skipper doesn’t expect his club to duplicate last year’s home run barrage, but does say, “We have a lineup with the ability to drive the ball out of the ballpark. This team can run. On paper, with the cold weather, our pitching staff and the ability to put the ball in play, we should be in games.”
Spring is filled with optimism, and there’s a lot of that circulating around the dugout and the entire Loons organization as they embark on the 2022 season.
“Speed and power is a pretty good combination,” Deluca said. “To me, it’s about going out and performing to the best of your ability. I have overarching goals but stay away from statistical goals. I changed my swing in spring training to try and get better. I don’t worry about getting called up. Those things are out of my control.”
Chubb feels his players are as motivated as he is this season.
“We had a chance at the postseason last season and came up a bit short, so we all have a chip on our shoulder to go even further and win a championship in Midland,” he said. | 1 | 108,606 | 0.772797 | https://www.news-herald.com/2022/05/10/captains-lose-to-great-lakes-behind-three-solo-home-runs/ | 2022-05-11 08:58:46+00:00 | The Captains found themselves in a hole early when they welcomed Great Lakes to Classic Park on May 10.
A passed ball allowed for a runner from third to score and the Loons were ahead in the top of the second.
Lake County responded when Raynel Delgado hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth for his first of the season. But the Loons countered with two home runs from Jonny DeLuca in the sixth and eighth to push his total on the season to nine.
Great Lakes went on to win 4-1 and moved to 16-12. Lake County fell to 12-15.
Tanner Bibee recorded 10 strikeouts in a no-decision as the starter and allowed no earned runs. Three other relief pitchers came in for a combined 15 punch outs on the day.
Captains manager Greg DiCenzio was happy with the pitching, but it was the lack of run support for the arms that he knows needs to improve. While Delgado had the home run, only Joe Naranjo and Connor Kokx recorded hits.
“We were able to elevate at the right time and could throw our off speed pitches for strikes,” said DiCenzo. “Every guy that toed the rubber today threw pretty well. Our relievers were able to settle in and fire right away. We just ran into three solo home runs. While 15 punches is nice, we need to find a way to string some hits together and get some runs across.”
Great Lakes extended their lead with DeLuca’s second home run and Kekai Rios with his first of the season in the top of the ninth.
The Loons also had a strong showing from their own pitching staff, as three pitchers combined to strike out 12 Lake County bats. DiCenzo knows Great Lakes prepares their pitchers well for every outing but knows that his bats will be able to get to them if they stay away from trying to play hero ball every at-bat.
“Every guy that they brought in were also able to throw strikes and elevate when they needed to,” said DiCenzo. “At times, I think we were trying to do a little too much. We didn’t have a lot cooking offensively but we need to just regroup and get back at it. The Tuesday games are always a challenge when coming off of a road trip but we’ll regroup and get back at it tomorrow.”
The Loons and Captains play again on May 11 at Classic Park with first pitch scheduled for 6:35. Aaron Davenport (0-2, 2.63) will toe the rubber, while the Loons send Lael Lockhart (1-0, 1.06) to counter. |

The Loons (66-43) collected only three hits for the second straight game, but made them count. After the Lugnuts took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third, Eddys Leonard doubled for the Loons in the top of the fifth and came around to score on a pair of groundouts to tie the game.
Damon Keith doubled in the eighth, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Luis Diaz for the winning margin. Keith also drove in Leonard in the fifth.
Four Great Lakes pitchers, meanwhile, combined on a six-hitter, walking only one and striking out 14. River Ryan, the second pitcher, improved to 1-0 with 4 1/3 shutout innings of two-hit baseball. Jake Cantleberry later earned his third save.
The Loons and Lugnuts (44-65) play the second game of a six-game series on Wednesday, starting at 7:05 p.m. |

Echoes from the Loafers’ Club Meeting
Have you ever had the theme song from “The Flintstones,” “Gilligan’s Island” or “The Beverly Hillbillies” stuck in your brain?
No.
Well, you do now.
Driving by Bruce’s drive
I have a wonderful neighbor named Bruce. Whenever I pass his drive, thoughts occur to me. I needed footwear. Now I have lightweight Hey Dude shoes. I got them to emulate my 13-year-old grandson. He’s on the school council and he’s cool. I want to be cool, too.
A guy I used to know gave me a pen for my trip to Israel. I’d misplaced the writing instrument until finding it outside this spring. I’d probably dropped it in the snow while filling bird feeders. I was happy to find the faithful pen. It was better reuniting with that old pen than obtaining a new one. I try to be happy with what I have and want less. That doesn’t apply to wanting cool shoes.
A sweet potato moon
I enjoyed sweet potato pie while thinking of the time I’d parked my carcass in a Tennessee cafe. On the next stool, a man, who might have had nose hair extensions, was lubing his burger with mayo, ketchup and mustard. Other diners had cellphones at the ready after ordering photogenic foods. I was in Memphis and determined to enjoy a southern tradition—an RC Cola and a MoonPie. I had it without the RC Cola. I’m not much for soft drinks. The MoonPie was created in 1917 as marshmallow sandwiched between round graham cracker cookies and dipped in chocolate frosting. The story goes that Kentucky coal miners wanted a filling snack and expressed their wishes to a salesman from a bakery. One miner held his hands to the sky and framed the moon to indicate how big the snack should be. That size proved problematic. The Chattanooga (Tennessee) Bakery produced a smaller version and the MoonPie became an icon of the working class. It was found in the lunch pails of miners and is a customary item thrown during Mardi Gras. In Mobile, Alabama, you could ring in the New Year by watching a 600-pound electronic MoonPie drop. There is an annual RC Cola-MoonPie Festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Stories vary as to the origin of the name. It came from a bell and buckle tied around a tree close to a free-flowing creek or natives carved a bell and buckle into a tree to discourage settlers or the bell and buckle symbol was used by surveyors to signify the usefulness of the land for pasture. RC Cola began in Columbus, Georgia, and was endorsed by Bing Crosby, Lucille Ball, Shirley Temple, Ronald Reagan, Claudette Colbert, Loretta Young and Joan Crawford. Big Bill Lister, who toured with Hank Williams and was billed as “Radio’s Tallest Singing Cowboy”—standing 6 foot 7 inches tall without his cowboy boots and hat—sang “Gimme an RC Cola and a MoonPie and play ‘Maple on the Hill’” Tracy Byrd sang, “Our champagne and caviar is an RC Cola and a MoonPie.” I had my vanilla-coated MoonPie with a glass of water. It was good.
Nature notes
I seek magic. A yard-filling flock of red-winged blackbirds blackening the ground was magical. My world needed to hear their song. It’s spring singing. Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed how the natural sounds people hear when outdoors affect well-being. They found a chorus of birdsong increased welfare. I tried to determine by use of my Hartland Grade School arithmetic how many blackbirds there were and reckoned there were at least 14, but that might have been low. I’d estimate it was hundreds. A much smaller flock of rusty blackbirds blew in with a storm. I’m always happy to see them. I yelled, “Pour another cup of water into the soup, we have company.” Brown-headed cowbirds joined the commotion on the ground below the feeders. A female cowbird was taking a break in a lilac when two male house sparrows attacked her. She fought back and the battle was prolonged. Had her parasitizing reputation preceded her? Was it over a prime perching position? Or was it merely orneriness? Interesting behavior no matter the cause.
A male and female cardinal kissed on a lilac branch. He offered her a sunflower seed and their bills touched in what I found a heartwarming moment. It’s known as mate feeding and is a sign of courtship.
Crows walked bandy-legged over the lawn, searching winter’s detritus for food.

Share what we love, not what we hate. Be kind. | 0 | 81,909 | 0.887485 | https://www.wyso.org/2003-09-25/the-heavenly-appeal-of-moonpies | 2022-04-25 08:43:28+00:00 | There's just something about a MoonPie. It's hard to find a Southern country store that doesn't stock them. There are contests to see how many of the chocolate-covered-graham-cracker-and-marshmallow treats people can eat.
William Ferris, former head of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi, said the MoonPie, which recently turned 85, "is more than a snack. It is a cultural artifact."
MoonPies have been made at the 100-year-old Chattanooga Bakery since 1917. Earl Mitchell Jr., who died two years ago, said his father came up with the idea for MoonPies when he asked a Kentucky coal miner what kind of snack he'd like to eat. The answer: something with graham cracker and marshmallow and dipped in chocolate. When Mitchell's father asked how big it should be, the miner looked up in the night sky and framed the full moon with his hands.
It's hard to find someone in the South who doesn't get nostalgic or giddy just thinking about them. Chattanooga resident Laura Pittman's great uncle was a dentist. "He had a very interesting office, but every time you went, before you had your teeth cleaned, you had to drink an RC Cola and eat a MoonPie, then you got your teeth cleaned," she says.
In the 1950s, Big Bill Lister sang about them in "RC Cola and Moon Pie," but no one knows exactly why the soft drink and chocolate snack became famous together. The most popular theory: During the Depression, they were both cheap (a nickel a piece), and they came in bigger servings than their competitors. For a dime, a MoonPie and an RC Cola quickly became known as the workingman's lunch.
Tory Johnston, vice president of marketing at the Chattanooga Bakery, cites MoonPies' nostalgic appeal: "I think it reminds them of their past. It's a brand that's been in the families of the South for four generations now, and there are a lot of grassroots things that happen just because it's a product that everybody sort of likes and has fun with."
Jennifer Crutchfield, whom Peeples interviewed on the banks of the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, has eaten MoonPies all her life. "It's not a cookie because it has that sort of waxy chocolate flavor and the marshmallow. I'm just not sure how to describe it. It's got to be tasted. It's a dollop of heaven," she says with a laugh.

In the South, it's well known that MoonPies were created at and are still made by the Chattanooga Bakery in Tennessee. If you're in Mobile, Ala., or any Mardi Gras party throughout the Deep South for that matter, you may associate the marshmallowy treat with the spring holiday. But the history of the MoonPie is much more storied.
Humble Beginnings
Chattanooga Bakery started as an offshoot of a flour mill the bakery owners had. They thought they should start a bakery to use up the 10 percent of flour leftover from products. It was a use-it-or-lose-it situation.
So that's what they did—but let's just say the bakery wasn't quite as successful as they hoped.
"They originally made all of these different items—wafers, crackers, vanilla cookies—under a brand called Lookout, a local residential and tourist mountain in Chattanooga," says Tory Johnston, vice president of sales and marketing, who has been with Chattanooga Bakery for 24 years.
As the story goes, in 1917, one of the sales managers was on a sales call at a general store in Kentucky's Appalachian region. It wasn't a very successful sales call; the owner told him to come back when he had something new to offer.
When he walked outside to leave, he stumbled on a few coal miners and asked them what they thought sounded good.
"Well, chocolate is pretty good. I like the cookies, one says," as Johnston recounts the story, "Whatever you do, make it big because once we are down in the mines, we are there all day."
Size-wise, they made a gesture to the rising moon and suggested they "make it as big as that," the view of the moon that day. As the tale continues, when the sales manager returned to the bakery, he saw some of the workers at the plant warming up marshmallow by the windows to dip their cookies.
"An a-ha moment to create a big round cookie with marshmallow sandwiched in between, and it looked like a pie," Johnston says. The MoonPie was born.
Popular From the Get-Go
It wasn't long before the MoonPie became popular throughout the South. After all, it was considered a value for the size and cost. The original MoonPie was four inches in diameter (it's now 2 ¾ inches) and cost only a nickel.
Some called it the working man's lunch because it was big enough for a meal. It was certainly big enough to take down into the coal mines all day.
Chocolate was the original and only flavor until the 1970s, when the bakery added banana. In the 1960s, the treat became so much more popular than any other treat they made that the bakery decided to exclusively make MoonPies.
Mardi Gras Madness
How did the treat for coal miners go from lunch pails to Mardi Gras treasure? That tradition started in Mobile, home of Mardi Gras, when it was decided that Cracker Jack boxes, the item that used to be thrown during parades, were just too darn hard. So, MoonPies, a value at just a nickel back then, became the thing to throw.
"We now sell millions of them during Mardi Gras," says Johnston.
They are so well known in Mobile that a decade ago, the city dropped a gigantic MoonPie (instead of a crystal ball like New York City) to kick off the New Year.
Chattanooga Bakery also releases special limited-edition flavors during Mardi Gras, like coconut and salted caramel, and they sell others during the year, like pumpkin spice and lemon.
Today MoonPies, once a distinctly Southern treat, have made their way across the United States, so while the history is certainly tied to the South, they're now beloved across the country.
"In the last five to seven years, we've really seen an uptick," says Johnston. "It's a yummy product that definitely resonates in a hyper-inflation world." |

There is an annual RC Cola-MoonPie Festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Stories vary as to the origin of the name. It came from a bell and buckle tied around a tree close to a free-flowing creek or natives carved a bell and buckle into a tree to discourage settlers or the bell and buckle symbol was used by surveyors to signify the usefulness of the land for pasture. RC Cola began in Columbus, Georgia, and was endorsed by Bing Crosby, Lucille Ball, Shirley Temple, Ronald Reagan, Claudette Colbert, Loretta Young and Joan Crawford. Big Bill Lister, who toured with Hank Williams and was billed as “Radio’s Tallest Singing Cowboy”—standing 6 foot 7 inches tall without his cowboy boots and hat—sang “Gimme an RC Cola and a MoonPie and play ‘Maple on the Hill’” Tracy Byrd sang, “Our champagne and caviar is an RC Cola and a MoonPie.” I had my vanilla-coated MoonPie with a glass of water. It was good.
Nature notes
I seek magic. A yard-filling flock of red-winged blackbirds blackening the ground was magical. My world needed to hear their song. It’s spring singing. Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed how the natural sounds people hear when outdoors affect well-being. They found a chorus of birdsong increased welfare. I tried to determine by use of my Hartland Grade School arithmetic how many blackbirds there were and reckoned there were at least 14, but that might have been low. I’d estimate it was hundreds. A much smaller flock of rusty blackbirds blew in with a storm. I’m always happy to see them. I yelled, “Pour another cup of water into the soup, we have company.” Brown-headed cowbirds joined the commotion on the ground below the feeders. A female cowbird was taking a break in a lilac when two male house sparrows attacked her. She fought back and the battle was prolonged. Had her parasitizing reputation preceded her? Was it over a prime perching position? Or was it merely orneriness? Interesting behavior no matter the cause.
A male and female cardinal kissed on a lilac branch. He offered her a sunflower seed and their bills touched in what I found a heartwarming moment. It’s known as mate feeding and is a sign of courtship.
Crows walked bandy-legged over the lawn, searching winter’s detritus for food.

Meeting adjourned
Share what we love, not what we hate. Be kind. | 2 | 85,396 | 0.978663 | https://decider.com/2022/04/04/richard-linklater-interview-apollo-10-1-2-soundtrack/ | 2022-04-04 17:31:18+00:00 | Richard Linklater, one of the great innovators of American independent experimental movies, has finally made a kid-friendly animated movie. But don’t worry, the director of Slacker, Waking Life, and the Before trilogy has not sold out.
Yes, Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood is (kinda-sorta) about an elementary school-aged youngster visiting the moon. But what it really is is a meditation on that second stage of development, a departure from the total reliance on parents, and starting to make leaps of your own. And it has all the laid-back philosophizing you’ve come to expect from this gab-heavy, but always droll director.
As with his ’70s high school masterpiece Dazed and Confused, so much of what makes Apollo 10 1/2 work is the way it incorporates the music of its time to extract universal experiences out of specificity. These are Linklater memories from 1969, not ours, but through his eyes and ears, movie magic helps us to connect. That said, you don’t have to know pop hits by The Monkees, The Archies, The 5th Dimension, or The Association, or deep cut live jams by Quicksilver Messenger Service to dig this film. But it certainly doesn’t hurt!
Decider had the good fortune to jaw with Linklater for a short period of time, and decided to approach his great new film just from the point of view of the period music. The below conversation has been edited for clarity.
Donovan, “Barabajagal”
DECIDER: Let’s kick it off with the very first thing, Donovan’s “Barabajagal,” with the Jeff Beck Group. With Ron Wood, later of the Rolling Stones, on bass, man! Such a great tune, you remember when you first heard it?
RICHARD LINKLATER: Like everyone of my generation, I heard it on the radio. I remember it from childhood. It’s so cool: that beat. And the words? I mean, it’s funny how you perceive music as a kid. I mostly loved the beat, almost tribal, “boo-boo, bah-bah, bah-dabba-dabba.” I had no idea what they were saying. No idea what it meant. I’m not sure I know now, to be frank. But it sounded like a message from another world, a world I didn’t fully understand, but I knew it was a cool world. It’s wrapped up in that “oh, I can’t wait to be an adult,” you know?
As I show in the movie, the kids are looking up at hippies, right? You see a picture of Donovan and he’s a pretty cool lookin’ guy. It’s like “wow, there’s a good life to be had in the future.”
I am sure you noticed that Paul Thomas Anderson slipped this one into Licorice Pizza, too.
I love Licorice Pizza and I am friends with Paul. In fact, I hosted a special screening of it at the Austin Film Society. Watching it, I’m like “oh no! He’s using this? I’ve had this in my movie for two years!” That’s what you get with the animation process, it takes a lot of time. I guarantee you I had that slotted in there two years before he even shot anything!
Plus, his movie is set, when, in 1973? That’s such a rich era! Why is he taking my songs from the 1960s!
Stand your ground, man!
Eh, he can do whatever he wants. It’s such a great song, and hasn’t been used too much as far as I can tell. Me and Paul, we’re carrying the torch.
[Note: only later did I realize that Apollo 10 1/2 and Licorice Pizza also share use on Cliff Nobles’s “The Horse.”]
The Bob Crewe Generation, “Music To Watch Girls By”
There’s a lot of deep-cut instrumental tracks in here, a lot of lesser-known surf rock (like The Pyramids and The Astronauts) and a lot of what you might call “exotica.” Tracks like “Music To Watch Girls By” by The Bob Crewe Generation, Lawrence Welk’s “Calcutta,” and plenty of Herb Alpert. This is not what many people first think of when they think of 1969.
But it was on the radio! Going back to look for songs is when I realized it was a very strong era for instrumental music. There were hits on the radio that didn’t have any lyrics. “Drums Are My Beat” [by Sandy Nelson] is another ’60s staple. “Out of Limits” [by the Marketts]. This is a total smorgasbord for a film, because sometimes lyrics can interfere with the dialogue. It can complicate the mix. Having all the instrumental stuff of the period I really felt like we tapped a deep well.
It’s kind’ve the “soundtrack of your life,” but still these songs weren’t exactly—well, actually—I guess they were successful. If I’m hearing them on pop radio, then yes.
It works so well, especially the first montage is all about how the future was now, civilization was conquering nature, especially in Houston near NASA, with the Astrodome, and that whole culture. This pop-ish, instrumental sound is so specific to that time.
It’s a rich period. If it’s true that music is the number one nostalgia-inducer, when I hear one of these songs, I am immediately there. I’m on the back porch. It’s evening. My parents are playing this stuff. I guess they must have liked it a lot. There really was a lot Herb Alpert. There weren’t listening to Cream, you know? There was a lot of pleasant music around. They weren’t exactly rock ’n’ roll, this was more their vibe.
Johnny Cash, “A Boy Named Sue”
Texas is a big aspect of this film, but there is very little Country and Western music.
The reality for me was that the suburban area of Houston, near NASA, was very far from Country and Western. Unless it was in your family—and both my parents were not originally from Texas, I’m first generation—so it just wasn’t in that world. I mean, I love some of those songs—Roger Miller “Dang Me”—that’s one of the great ones of that era. But there was an urban/Country divide in that part of Texas. When I moved to a smaller town in East Texas, that’s when Country and Western was everywhere. A cultural shift.
I like this, you are breaking down Texas stereotypes.
Well, this is part of the movie. People may think of Texas or the South as a regressive place; it’s not quite so. It’s NASA. Like in the movie, we were first to get push-button phones. We’re ahead of people in New Jersey!
The Amboy Dukes, “Journey to the Center of the Mind”
Two tracks on here I clocked as being on the legendary 1972 collection Nuggets, which I am sure you are familiar with.
Oh, yes, yes.
One is the Amboy Dukes, “Journey to the Center of the Mind”—
Well that was a hit in my world. Heard it on the radio a bunch, and what could be better for the time? “Journey to the CENTER OF YOUR MIND” … I mean, I’m in first or second grade, it’s just the coolest thing. Only later did I learn, “wait, that’s Ted Nugent?!?” A teenage Ted Nugent. There’s my shout-out to young Ted. It fits so perfectly in the launch sequence.
The Count Five, “Psychotic Reaction”
And the other is “Psychotic Reaction” by The Count Five, when the kids get their day at AstroWorld, a sequence that really nails how much going to a theme park means to a kid. It’s such a cool, fuzzy pop song and then has this just ludicrous guitar break.
I love that beat. It’s so much fun. When I do something like this, I start with maybe three times the amount of music that we’ll ever use. Then we try them out in different sequences. Some I’ll know way in advance what has to go where, but other times, we’ll create a list of maybe six songs to try out. And you slip it in and it’ll let you know if it’s working. You know very quickly if it works.
Iron Butterfly, “Soul Experience”
One you truly stumped me on was “Soul Experience” by Iron Butterfly. First, who even knew they put out another album, right? But also, the section you used sounded very contemporary. I thought it was original score for the scenes on the Moon, frankly.
Okay, so we had two categories. Much of the film is autobiographical, and those are the songs from the radio we’ve been discussing. The Moon aspects, I realized, I needed to get more out there, you know. Like, Pink Floyd’s “Astronomy Dominé” was not on AM radio.
So that’s where I jump categories, into a more contemporary point-of-view, but looking back. I did some research to dig into deep tracks. It was a separate list I called “space songs.” The ethereal, weird stuff that felt appropriate for walking on the moon or floating. I had a ton of shit—like that Iron Butterfly one—I just checked the dates and if anyone could have heard it then I called it “fair game.”
Kathy McCarty, “Rocket Ship”
I want to close with the end credits, such a nice track, K. McCarty’s cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Rocket Ship.” This, of course, is more contemporary, but thematically perfect, and there’s the Austin connection with you and Johnston.
I knew Daniel from when he first moved to town in 1985. We were buddies. He came to my house every day, practically.
And you included McCarty and Johnston in a similar way before.
Yeah, so for this we got the team back together. “Rocket Ship” is from the same album [as “Living Life”] that we used for the end credits on Before Sunrise. Kathy McCarty’s album of Daniel’s songs, Dead Dog’s Eyeball, is one of the greatest albums of the mid-1990s. It was among the first to really recognize that Daniel Johnston was a songwriter whose work was ready for interpretation by many different voices. Her voice is just so beautiful.
It just made sense to have this as the second half of the closing credits. The first half, of course, is Max Frost and the Troopers’s “The Shape of Things to Come.” People say “who is Max Frost?” and, you know, it’s a made-up character from the movie Wild In The Streets. It’s the fictional rocker president, a studio concoction of a song. What was that actor? Oh, I’m forgetting the name. [Christopher Jones—ed.] Not the greatest movie, but I always loved that song.
But once we were out of our movie entirely, I thought it was fine to break the time parameter for something more modern. Daniel’s song was perfect, because it is so youthful. It has that little kid vibe. Daniel was about my age, one year younger, so I felt that it came from Kid Daniel of the Apollo era, living through it just like me.
For anyone closely following your career from the beginning, it’s a cherry on top of an already extremely touching film.
Well, thank you. I just hope people can hear it, because I know Netflix automatically goes to the next thing, right?
Well, the picture squeezes down, but the audio does stay.They don’t want viewers to sit through five minutes of credits.
Yeah, they want you back in the algorithm, but maybe they’ll serve up one of your earlier movies?
It’s that Underdog moment. “Don’t touch that dial!”
Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood is now streaming on Netflix. There’s also an “official” soundtrack playlist on Spotify, but Decider officially prefers this “unofficial” Spotify playlist as it’s got more of the songs from the movie on it.

The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) has issued a draft National Data Governance Framework to mobilise non-personal data of citizens for use by both public and private entities to improve services.
The draft policy proposes the launch of a non-personal data based India datasets program and addresses the methods and rules to ensure that non-personal and anonymised data from both government and private entities are safely accessible by the research and innovation ecosystem.
Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said the National Data Governance Framework was of interest to artificial intelligence (AI) start-ups, AI research entities, and government departments.
“Its imp piece of policy framework thats being devlopd to catalyze #India’s $1 Trillion #DigitalEconomy,” he tweeted.
Asking stakeholders to comment on the draft framework, the Minister said the National Data Governance Framework would also accelerate digital government and digitisation of government with common standards, rules and guidelines for data storage and management across all departments.
The draft said during the COVID-19 pandemic, digital governance played a big part in India’s resilient response to the pandemic and its impact on lives, livelihoods and the economy.
In the post-COVID era, digitisation of government is accelerating faster and data generation is also increasing exponentially, which can be used in turn to improve citizens’ experience and engagement with the government and governance as a ‘Digital Nagrik’.
The digital government data is currently managed, stored and accessed in differing and inconsistent ways across different government entities, thus attenuating the efficacy of data-driven governance, and preventing an innovative ecosystem of data science, analytics and AI from emerging to its full potential, the draft said.
“The power of this data must be harnessed for more effective Digital Government, public good and innovation, thus requiring a National Data Governance Framework Policy (NDGFP),” the draft said.
The proposed policy would be applicable to all government departments and entities, and the rules and standards prescribed would cover all data collected and being managed by any government entity.
It proposed to cover all non-personal datasets and data and platform, rules, standards governing its access and use by researchers and start-ups.
“State Governments shall be encouraged to adopt the provisions of the policy and rules, standards, and protocols as applicable,” the draft said.
The draft also proposes setting up of an ‘India Data Management Office (IDMO)‘, under the Digital India Corporation, which shall be responsible for framing, managing and periodically reviewing and revising the policy.
“The IDMO shall be responsible for developing rules, standards, and guidelines under this policy that shall be published periodically,” the draft said.
MeitY has fixed June 11 as the deadline for submission of comments by stakeholders on the draft available on its website.

The draft said during the COVID-19 pandemic, digital governance played a big part in India’s resilient response to the pandemic and its impact on lives, livelihoods and the economy.
In the post-COVID era, digitisation of government is accelerating faster and data generation is also increasing exponentially which can be used in turn to improve citizens’ experience and engagement with the government and governance as a ‘Digital Nagrik’.
The digital government data is currently managed, stored and accessed in differing and inconsistent ways across different government entities, thus attenuating the efficacy of data-driven governance, and preventing an innovative ecosystem of data science, analytics and AI from emerging to its full potential, the draft said.
“The power of this data must be harnessed for more effective Digital Government, public good and innovation, thus requiring a National Data Governance Framework Policy (NDGFP),” draft said.
The proposed policy will be applicable to all government departments and entities and rules and standards prescribed will cover all data collected and being managed by any government entity. It proposed to cover all non-personal datasets and data and platform, rules, standards governing its access and use by researchers and startups.
“State Governments shall be encouraged to adopt the provisions of the Policy and rules, standards, and protocols as applicable,” the draft said.
The draft also proposes setting up of an ‘India Data Management Office (IDMO)’, under the Digital India Corporation, which shall be responsible for framing, managing and periodically reviewing and revising the policy.
“The IDMO shall be responsible for developing rules, standards, and guidelines under this policy that shall be published periodically,” the draft said. MeitY has fixed June 11 as the deadline for submission of comments by stakeholders on the draft available on its website |

Second booster shields elderly from COVID but protection wanes quickly - study
The second booster's protection against infection dwindled after four weeks, Israeli researchers showed in their study published on Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A fourth dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine lowered rates of COVID-19 among the elderly but the protection against infection appeared short-lived, a large study in Israel has found.
The second booster's protection against infection dwindled after four weeks, Israeli researchers showed in their study published on Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Protection against severe illness did not wane during the six weeks after the dose but more follow-up study was needed to evaluate its longer-term protection, the researchers said.
The study on 1.3 million people aged 60 and older looked at data from the Israeli Ministry of Health database between Jan. 10 and March 2, when the Omicron variant was predominant.
It comes ahead of a meeting by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday to discuss the need for additional boosters, a week after the United States authorised a second booster shot for people aged 50 and older amid a spread of the Omicron sub-variant BA.2.
European health ministers have also urged the bloc's governments to back a fourth dose for people over 60.
In Asia, South Korea started giving out fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines in February and Singapore has said a second booster dose is planned for those aged 80 and older.
Another study from Israel showed last month that seniors who received a second booster of the Pfizer Inc/BioNTech SE COVID-19 vaccine had a 78% lower mortality rate than those who got just one.
Israel started offering a second booster in January.
Earlier this month, Canada's state statistics agency announced that the country's economy fell well short of anticipated growth rates and not enough to enough to overturn the coronavirus pandemic-induced contraction in 2020. Furthermore, the country remains gripped by an inflationary crisis, with the inflation rate rising to 5.7 percent in February, marking the highest increase since August of 1991. | 0 | 64,757 | 0.243897 | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/04/06/second-booster-shields-elderly-from-covid-but-protection-wanes-quickly-stud/2051850 | 2022-04-06 03:32:19+00:00 | JERUSALEM, April 6 ― A fourth dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine lowered rates of Covid-19 among the elderly but the protection against infection appeared short-lived, a large study in Israel has found.

- Credit: Charlotte Bond/Suffolk Constabulary
A man wearing a “vendetta” mask who brandished a kitchen knife and threatened to stab and slash the throats of two teenage girls in a Woodbridge street has been jailed for 13 months.
Terrance Nicholls, who was wearing a white mask with black eye and mouth markings, told the girls, who were 16 and 15 : “If you walk round the corner I’ll stab you” and then held the bread knife, which had a nine inch blade, above his head before walking away, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
When a local resident approached the girls to see if they were all right Nicholls had returned naked from the waist up and invited him to go to a nearby car park to fight, said Isobel Ascherson, prosecuting.
A resident of Pembroke Avenue who came out of his home called the police after hearing Nicholls tell the girls: “I’ll slash your throats” before pulling out the bread knife again.
Nicholls, 32, admitted having a knife in Pembroke Avenue, Woodbridge, where he was living, on July 9 2020 and an offence of affray on the same date.
In addition to being jailed he was banned from contacting two of the victims of the offences for five years and from going to Pembroke Avenue or St Edmunds Close, Woodbridge.
Adam Norris for Nicholls said his client had mental health issues and although he appeared brash and aggressive on the surface underneath he was “tearful and vulnerable.”

Nicholls, who has 78 previous convictions, was jailed for 21 months last month for offences of burglary and inflicting grievous bodily harm.
On that occasion the court heard that an Ipswich woman suffered a broken jaw after she was punched in the face by Nicholls after he stole keys from her home.
The woman had been at her home in Hawthorn Drive, Ipswich in September last year when a passer-by saw Nicholls going into her house and told her what she’d seen.
When the woman realised her keys, which had been left on a table just inside the front door were missing, she ran out into the street and demanded that Nicholls give her back the keys.
She pinned him against a wall and he had then punched her in the face with his fist causing a bilateral fracture to her jaw.
She later underwent surgery to have two metal plates fitted to help her jaw heal. | 0 | 90,017 | 0.557991 | https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/crime/suffolk-court-results-april-2022-8880500 | 2022-04-09 06:34:37+00:00 | Jailed in Suffolk: The criminals put behind bars this week

Rumball and his partner, who were living in Braintree, booked into the Belstead Brook Hotel in Ipswich in January and before the violent attack they had sex and went swimming in the hotel pool, Ipswich Crown Court was told.
After dinner, they went to the bar where they chatted and drank shots with other guests and at one stage Rumball was heard to ask for the strongest drink available adding that he wanted “whatever was going to blow my head off,” said Joanne Eley, prosecuting.
After they returned to their hotel room other guests heard banging and shouting coming from the couple’s room and heard the victim screaming: “Help me”.
Security staff called the police and after the victim was taken to hospital, officers saw Rumball sitting in a car with blood on his hands and trousers, said Miss Eley.
He had tried to drive off but had collided with a police car and had refused to provide a specimen for a breath test.
In addition to being jailed, he was banned from driving for 42 months.

Sentencing him Judge Emma Peters said he had used all his weight when he tried to strangle her and she had thought she was fighting for her life.
The court heard that Armitage had 179 previous convictions. |

A drunk Ipswich man who was carrying a knife and threatened to stab people has been given a suspended prison sentence.
Sentencing Alan Cleary, Judge Emma Peters said he had terrified two girls aged 13 and 14 by shouting and swearing at them as they walked along Ulster Avenue in the town at around 9pm on October 10 2020.
They had been so frightened they ran to a friend’s house before being escorted home.
Cleary, who had a large knife tucked in his trousers, had then run along the road shouting: “Come on you lot, you think you’re hard. I’ll stab you.”
Cleary of Ulster Avenue, Ipswich, admitted having a bladed article and was given a 16-month prison sentence suspended for two years, a 30 day rehabilitation activity requirement and a 120 day alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement.
He was also ordered to pay £200 costs.

Nicholls, who has 78 previous convictions, was jailed for 21 months last month for offences of burglary and inflicting grievous bodily harm.
On that occasion the court heard that an Ipswich woman suffered a broken jaw after she was punched in the face by Nicholls after he stole keys from her home.
The woman had been at her home in Hawthorn Drive, Ipswich in September last year when a passer-by saw Nicholls going into her house and told her what she’d seen.
When the woman realised her keys, which had been left on a table just inside the front door were missing, she ran out into the street and demanded that Nicholls give her back the keys.
She pinned him against a wall and he had then punched her in the face with his fist causing a bilateral fracture to her jaw.
She later underwent surgery to have two metal plates fitted to help her jaw heal. | 2 | 70,927 | 0.736903 | https://7news.com.au/news/qld/qld-man-charged-after-knife-threats-c-6569903 | 2022-04-25 07:11:55+00:00 | A knife-wielding man has allegedly held a blade to a 15-year-old girl’s throat amid a series of threats to four people in Queensland.
Footage of the man’s alleged rampage, seen in the video above, was captured on dashcam by a 7NEWS cameraman, who swerved his car to avoid hitting the man in Bundaberg in the early hours of Saturday morning.
“S***, he had a knife ... Yes, he had a knife,” said a woman in the car.

The 29-year-old man has been arrested on eight charges, with police alleging he targeted people while armed, at one stage kidnapping the teenage girl.
The man ran at a car at about 12.45am on Saturday, forcing the driver to stop before accelerating away once he saw the knife, police said.
About 10 minutes later a 15-year-girl and boy spoke with the man briefly on Maryborough Street before running away.
The man ran after them before finding the girl who had hidden in bushes, holding her by the neck and taking her down Walker Street while threatening her with the knife, it is alleged.
The girl was released when the 15-year-old boy returned and the teenagers again ran away while being pursued by the man, before they flagged down a passing ambulance, police said.
At about 3.15am, the man threatened a 42-year-old woman sitting in the back of a van on Walker Street, it is alleged.
Police say the man got into the van with her before the woman ran away.
Responding to calls by the woman and the driver, police began patrols and later located the man.
The Cleveland man has been charged with three counts of going armed so as to cause fear, two counts of threatening violence, as well as assault, kidnapping and unlawful entry of a vehicle.
He will appear in a Bundaberg court on Tuesday.

“The night was alarming and difficult. The enemy attacked our area from the air and hit the oil depot and one of the plants. The oil depot with fuel was destroyed. Rescuers are still putting out the flames at the plant. There is a strong fire,” Reznichenko wrote.
In the eastern Luhansk region, Tuesday’s shelling of Rubizhne city killed one and injured five more, Governor Serhiy Haidai said Wednesday on Telegram.
The Russian military continues to focus its efforts on preparing for an offensive in Ukraine’s east, according to a Wednesday morning update by Ukraine’s General Staff, with the aim “to establish complete control over the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.”
Parts of the two regions have been under control of Russia-backed rebels since 2014 and are recognized by Moscow as independent states.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden approved a $100 million transfer of Javelin anti-armor missiles to Ukraine on Tuesday, according to an administration official.
The transfer brings the total of U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to $2.4 billion since Biden took office last January.
The White House announced late Tuesday that Biden approved the assistance, which is funded as part of a broader $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine approved by Congress last month after Russia’s invasion.
The administration official confirmed that it was for a transfer of the Javelin missiles, which have been requested by the Ukrainian military to combat Russian armor.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said French President Emmanuel Macron has agreed to provide technical and expert support for an investigation into crimes committed by Russian troops in Bucha and elsewhere.
Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he also asked Macron to help the people trapped in the besieged southern city of Mariupol.
In an interview with Turkey’s Haberturk television in Kyiv, Zelenskyy accused Russia of trying to hide its actions in Mariupol and didn’t want humanitarian aid to enter the city “until they clean it all up.”
Zelenskyy said he also expects European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to visit Kyiv soon.

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian forces still are trying to push deep into Ukraine in the east, but the Ukrainian army is holding them back.
In his daily night-time video address to the nation late Tuesday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was aware that Russia was gathering up reinforcements for another offensive.
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine is outnumbered both in troops and equipment.
“We don’t have a choice – the fate of our land and of our people is being decided,” he said. “We know what we are fighting for. And we will do everything to win.”

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late Tuesday that he and Western leaders have discussed a new round of sanctions against Russia.
“After what the world saw in Bucha, the sanctions against Russia must be commensurate with the gravity of the war crimes committed by the occupiers,” Zelenskyy said in his daily night-time video address to the nation.
In coordination with the European Union and Group of Seven nations, the U.S. will roll out more sanctions against Russia on Wednesday. That reportedly will include a ban on all new investment in the country.
Also, the EU’s executive branch has proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia in what would be the first time the 27-nation bloc has sanctioned the country’s lucrative energy industry over the war.
The coal imports amount to an estimated 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year.

MOSCOW — The Russian foreign minister is accusing Ukraine's government of sabotaging talks on ending the fighting in Ukraine, warning that Moscow will not “play cat and mouse.”
Sergey Lavrov specifically warns that Moscow will not accept the Ukrainian demand that a prospective peace agreement include an immediate pullout of Russian troops to be followed by a referendum in Ukraine on accepting the deal.
In televised remarks Tuesday, he says that if the peace deal fails to win approval in a referendum, a new deal will have to be negotiated. He says that “we don’t want to play such cat and mouse.”
Lavrov pointed at a 2015 peace deal for eastern Ukraine signed in Minsk, Belarus, that was brokered by France and Germany but never implemented. He says that “we don’t want a repeat of the Minsk agreements.”
He also says Ukraine is “sabotaging” the talks by stonewalling Russian demands for “demilitarization” and “denazification” of the country.
The tough statements from Lavrov contrasted with optimistic signals made by both Ukrainian and Russian representatives after the latest round of talks in Istanbul, Turkey, on March 29. | 0 | 90,154 | 0 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Live-updates-Russia-Ukraine-War-17060449.php | 2022-04-06 06:05:04+00:00 | LVIV, Ukraine - Russian forces overnight struck a fuel depot and a factory in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, and the number of casualties remains unclear, the region’s Governor Valentyn Reznichenko said Wednesday on the Telegram messaging app.

Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he also asked Macron to help the people trapped in the besieged southern city of Mariupol.
In an interview with Turkey’s Haberturk television in Kyiv, Zelenskyy accused Russia of trying to hide its actions in Mariupol and didn’t want humanitarian aid to enter the city “until they clean it all up.”
Zelenskyy said he also expects European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to visit Kyiv soon.

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian forces still are trying to push deep into Ukraine in the east, but the Ukrainian army is holding them back.
In his daily night-time video address to the nation late Tuesday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was aware that Russia was gathering up reinforcements for another offensive.
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine is outnumbered both in troops and equipment.
“We don’t have a choice – the fate of our land and of our people is being decided,” he said. “We know what we are fighting for. And we will do everything to win.”

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late Tuesday that he and Western leaders have discussed a new round of sanctions against Russia.
“After what the world saw in Bucha, the sanctions against Russia must be commensurate with the gravity of the war crimes committed by the occupiers,” Zelenskyy said in his daily night-time video address to the nation.
In coordination with the European Union and Group of Seven nations, the U.S. will roll out more sanctions against Russia on Wednesday. That reportedly will include a ban on all new investment in the country.
Also, the EU’s executive branch has proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia in what would be the first time the 27-nation bloc has sanctioned the country’s lucrative energy industry over the war.
The coal imports amount to an estimated 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year.

KYIV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian official says Russian troops have allowed 1,496 civilians to evacuate the besieged city of Mariupol by private vehicle but blocked a convoy of evacuation buses from entering.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said the Russian forces stopped the buses accompanied by workers of the International Committee of the Red Cross from traveling to the Sea of Azov port on Tuesday. The civilians who were able to leave in their personal vehicles traveled to Zaporizhzhia.
Mariupol has been besieged by Russian forces for a month, cut off from food, water and energy supplies and has faced relentless artillery barrage and air raids that killed thousands.

LVIV, Ukraine — A regional official in western Ukraine says a Russian missile hit fertilizer tanks, polluting ground water.
Ternopil region Gov. Volodymyr Trush said Tuesday that the Russian missile strike destroyed six reservoirs filled with fertilizers, resulting in an ammonia leak into ground water and the Ikva River.
Authorities are advising residents not to use water wells and stop fishing and officials have organized drinking water deliveries. Trush say the environmental situation is expected to stabilize in a few days.

MOSCOW — The Russian foreign minister is accusing Ukraine's government of sabotaging talks on ending the fighting in Ukraine, warning that Moscow will not “play cat and mouse.”
Sergey Lavrov specifically warns that Moscow will not accept the Ukrainian demand that a prospective peace agreement include an immediate pullout of Russian troops to be followed by a referendum in Ukraine on accepting the deal.
In televised remarks Tuesday, he says that if the peace deal fails to win approval in a referendum, a new deal will have to be negotiated. He says that “we don’t want to play such cat and mouse.”
Lavrov pointed at a 2015 peace deal for eastern Ukraine signed in Minsk, Belarus, that was brokered by France and Germany but never implemented. He says that “we don’t want a repeat of the Minsk agreements.”
He also says Ukraine is “sabotaging” the talks by stonewalling Russian demands for “demilitarization” and “denazification” of the country.
The tough statements from Lavrov contrasted with optimistic signals made by both Ukrainian and Russian representatives after the latest round of talks in Istanbul, Turkey, on March 29. | 2 | 92,242 | 0 | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Live-updates-Russia-Ukraine-War-17060449.php | 2022-04-06 06:16:19+00:00 | LVIV, Ukraine - Russian forces overnight struck a fuel depot and a factory in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, and the number of casualties remains unclear, the region’s Governor Valentyn Reznichenko said Wednesday on the Telegram messaging app.
“The night was alarming and difficult. The enemy attacked our area from the air and hit the oil depot and one of the plants. The oil depot with fuel was destroyed. Rescuers are still putting out the flames at the plant. There is a strong fire,” Reznichenko wrote.
In the eastern Luhansk region, Tuesday’s shelling of Rubizhne city killed one and injured five more, Governor Serhiy Haidai said Wednesday on Telegram.
The Russian military continues to focus its efforts on preparing for an offensive in Ukraine’s east, according to a Wednesday morning update by Ukraine’s General Staff, with the aim “to establish complete control over the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.”
Parts of the two regions have been under control of Russia-backed rebels since 2014 and are recognized by Moscow as independent states.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden approved a $100 million transfer of Javelin anti-armor missiles to Ukraine on Tuesday, according to an administration official.
The transfer brings the total of U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to $2.4 billion since Biden took office last January.
The White House announced late Tuesday that Biden approved the assistance, which is funded as part of a broader $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine approved by Congress last month after Russia’s invasion.
The administration official confirmed that it was for a transfer of the Javelin missiles, which have been requested by the Ukrainian military to combat Russian armor.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.

https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Miami-s-crypto-craze-on-full-display-at-bitcoin-17060424.php | Thousands of cryptocurrency enthusiasts are gathering in Miami as the city builds its reputation as one of the key locations to develop the blockchain technology despite its underdog status.
Dozens of companies are using the Bitcoin 2022 conference running Wednesday through Friday as a venue to network, pitch ideas and share announcements to the industry and beyond.
New York City and Silicon Valley continued to lead in funding raised by blockchain startups in 2021, with $6.5 billion and $3.9 billion. But Miami is now tied with Los Angeles, where firms pulled in more than $760 million in funding, according to market research firm CB Insights.
Cryptocurrency exchange FTX bought the naming rights for the NBA arena in downtown Miami last year, replacing American Airlines. The largest crypto company to move to Miami so far, Blockchain.com, will house 200 employees at a location in the hip Wynwood district, where other tech firms and investors are setting up shop as well.
“Wynwood just really has that sort of spirit that you are looking for when a new tech sector is built,” said Blockchain.com CEO and co-founder Peter Smith, comparing it to San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood and New York City’s Brooklyn. “Ultimately you want to be with the other tech companies.”
Many cite a welcoming environment cultivated by local officials, mainly Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who has attracted national attention by luring tech investment and becoming one of America’s crypto-friendly mayors.
Others note that both Miami and Florida are business-friendly and remained open during the pandemic, making it more attractive as a location where people could work remotely.
“It’s possible to move to a place where you can buy a house and see the sunshine every day,” Smith said.
All this enthusiasm strikes a sharp contrast with bitcoin’s own rough year. On the financial side, the cryptocurrency hit a high of $67,553.95 back in November just before plunging by almost half as of late January; it remains down roughly 30% since that November high. Bitcoin is also largely absent from many of the hottest trends in crypto such as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, which purportedly offer a way to auction off “unique” copies of digital art and other cyberobjects.
More broadly, critics question the assumptions underlying the claimed value and utility of crypto technology, with some likening the hype and so-far unrealized promises of blockchain technologies to a Ponzi scheme that benefits early participants but leaves everyone else in the lurch.
As Miami aims to attract more investment for cryptocurrency projects, Bitcoin 2022 organizers say at least 75 companies will be making announcements at the conference.
Last year, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele made international news at the event, unveiling by video that his country would be the first to make cryptocurrency legal tender. Bukele will be at the conference this year.
One of the most-anticipated announcements may come from 27-year-old Jack Mallers, CEO of bitcoin payment app Strike, who worked with Bukele’s government on the nationwide bitcoin launch.
Mallers also partnered with Twitter to synchronize his app with the social network to make it possible to send digital money as “tips” without needing a bank like Cash App and PayPal, demonstrating on a video how he sent $10 to a man at a Salvadoran Starbucks.
“Why would anyone ever use Western Union again? When you take one of the world’s largest social internet networks, you combine it with the world’s best open monetary network,” he says on the video posted on YouTube. “Western Union, pawn to E4. What’s your move?”
It remains to be seen what the effort will yield in the future. South Florida saw its population decline by more than 18,000 people between July 2020 and July 2021. And critics worry the city does not have a high-ranking university that could build workforce to make companies thrive, the way the Bay Area and New York do.
But Miami businessman Josip Rupena, who will be speaking about his crypto mortgages startup at the conference, said to give the effort a few years.
Rupena’s company, called Milo, has received $24 million in venture funding from investors to become a lender for people who have made considerable digital wealth but don’t want to convert cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars to buy a home.
“For the first time, I think we have a platform — and a national platform — to tell others that there are really a lot of smart and capable people here. It is great we can amplify that message,” Rupena said.

Associated Press writer David Hamilton contributed to this story from San Francisco. | 2 | 84,743 | 0 | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Miami-s-crypto-craze-on-full-display-at-bitcoin-17060424.php | 2022-04-06 05:29:51+00:00 | Thousands of cryptocurrency enthusiasts are gathering in Miami as the city builds its reputation as one of the key locations to develop the blockchain technology despite its underdog status.
Dozens of companies are using the Bitcoin 2022 conference running Wednesday through Friday as a venue to network, pitch ideas and share announcements to the industry and beyond.
New York City and Silicon Valley continued to lead in funding raised by blockchain startups in 2021, with $6.5 billion and $3.9 billion. But Miami is now tied with Los Angeles, where firms pulled in more than $760 million in funding, according to market research firm CB Insights.
Cryptocurrency exchange FTX bought the naming rights for the NBA arena in downtown Miami last year, replacing American Airlines. The largest crypto company to move to Miami so far, Blockchain.com, will house 200 employees at a location in the hip Wynwood district, where other tech firms and investors are setting up shop as well.
“Wynwood just really has that sort of spirit that you are looking for when a new tech sector is built,” said Blockchain.com CEO and co-founder Peter Smith, comparing it to San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood and New York City’s Brooklyn. “Ultimately you want to be with the other tech companies.”
Many cite a welcoming environment cultivated by local officials, mainly Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who has attracted national attention by luring tech investment and becoming one of America’s crypto-friendly mayors.
Others note that both Miami and Florida are business-friendly and remained open during the pandemic, making it more attractive as a location where people could work remotely.
“It’s possible to move to a place where you can buy a house and see the sunshine every day,” Smith said.
All this enthusiasm strikes a sharp contrast with bitcoin’s own rough year. On the financial side, the cryptocurrency hit a high of $67,553.95 back in November just before plunging by almost half as of late January; it remains down roughly 30% since that November high. Bitcoin is also largely absent from many of the hottest trends in crypto such as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, which purportedly offer a way to auction off “unique” copies of digital art and other cyberobjects.
More broadly, critics question the assumptions underlying the claimed value and utility of crypto technology, with some likening the hype and so-far unrealized promises of blockchain technologies to a Ponzi scheme that benefits early participants but leaves everyone else in the lurch.
As Miami aims to attract more investment for cryptocurrency projects, Bitcoin 2022 organizers say at least 75 companies will be making announcements at the conference.
Last year, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele made international news at the event, unveiling by video that his country would be the first to make cryptocurrency legal tender. Bukele will be at the conference this year.
One of the most-anticipated announcements may come from 27-year-old Jack Mallers, CEO of bitcoin payment app Strike, who worked with Bukele’s government on the nationwide bitcoin launch.
Mallers also partnered with Twitter to synchronize his app with the social network to make it possible to send digital money as “tips” without needing a bank like Cash App and PayPal, demonstrating on a video how he sent $10 to a man at a Salvadoran Starbucks.
“Why would anyone ever use Western Union again? When you take one of the world’s largest social internet networks, you combine it with the world’s best open monetary network,” he says on the video posted on YouTube. “Western Union, pawn to E4. What’s your move?”
It remains to be seen what the effort will yield in the future. South Florida saw its population decline by more than 18,000 people between July 2020 and July 2021. And critics worry the city does not have a high-ranking university that could build workforce to make companies thrive, the way the Bay Area and New York do.
But Miami businessman Josip Rupena, who will be speaking about his crypto mortgages startup at the conference, said to give the effort a few years.
Rupena’s company, called Milo, has received $24 million in venture funding from investors to become a lender for people who have made considerable digital wealth but don’t want to convert cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars to buy a home.
“For the first time, I think we have a platform — and a national platform — to tell others that there are really a lot of smart and capable people here. It is great we can amplify that message,” Rupena said.

Before Zelensky’s address, Romania’s President of the Chamber of Deputies, Marcel Ciolacu, said that the “horrible images” that emerged after Russian troops withdrew from Bucha have “overwhelmed and revolted us all.” |
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-60999296 | Helston parade to mark RNAS Culdrose's 75th anniversary
- Published
More than 150 sailors will march through the streets of a Cornish town to mark the 75th anniversary of a naval air station.
The sailors from RNAS Culdrose will march along Meneage Street and Coinagehall Street in Helston on Wednesday from 10:00 BST.
The annual Freedom of Helston Parade is larger than usual because of the significant anniversary.
A Merlin helicopter is also expected to fly above Coinagehall Street at 11:00.
The Cornish naval airbase was first granted the Freedom of the Borough of Helston in 1958.
It is the highest privilege a town can give to a military establishment.
The base remains one of the largest helicopter bases in Europe, according to the Royal Navy.
Helston mayor, Tim Grattan-Kane, said: "Over many years, its sailors provided the air-sea rescue facility for our community.
"There is no doubt that there are hundreds if not thousands of people who owe their lives to the skills and bravery of the aircrews.
"It is fitting that we also recall their bravery in conflict on the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War.
"Without their willingness to put their helicopters in danger many more ships would have been exposed to danger."
'Strong as ever'
Captain Stuart Finn, the base's commanding officer, said they were "delighted to be back in Helston" after the community event was cancelled for two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said: "This year is especially important to us as we mark 75 years since the commissioning of RNAS Culdrose.
"A lot has happened in that time but the links and bonds between the air station and Helston are as strong as ever."
Road closures will be in place along Meneage Street and Coinage Hall Street during the parade.

The annual Freedom of Helston Parade, which has not been held since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, was back and bigger than ever this year to mark the special anniversary since RNAS Culdrose was first granted the Freedom of the Borough of Helston in 1958 - the highest privilege a town can give to a military establishment.
Featuring the HMS Seahawk Volunteer Band, Royal Navy officers and ratings, HMS Seahawk Field Gun Team and a fire engine from the airfield, the event to mark the 75th anniversary was organised jointly between the Royal Navy and Helston Town Council. A Merlin helicopter returning from training also joined the parade, thrilling spectators with a flypast over marching sailors on Coinagehall Street in the town centre. |

A Royal Navy parade is taking place in Cornwall today to mark the 75th anniversary of RNAS Culdrose - with a flypast set to happen later this morning.
A parade is happening through the streets of Helston, involving more than 150 sailors, schoolchildren and the Seahawk band.
A Merlin helicopter is also expected to fly above Coinagehall Street at 11am.
Commanding officer of RNAS Culdrose Captain Stuart Finn added: “We are delighted to be back in Helston having cancelled our community events for the past two years due to coronavirus restrictions.
“This year is especially important to us as we mark 75 years since the commissioning of RNAS Culdrose. A lot has happened in that time but the links and bonds between the air station and Helston are as strong as ever.”
Helston mayor Tim Grattan-Kane said Culdrose is a "key element" within the community.
“Over many years, its sailors provided the air-sea rescue facility for our community," he added.
"There is no doubt that there are hundreds if not thousands of people who owe their lives to the skills and bravery of the aircrews.
“It is fitting that we also recall their bravery in conflict on the 40th anniversary of the Falklands war. Without their willingness to put their helicopters in danger many more ships would have been exposed to danger.
“Helston is enriched by the presence of Culdrose, by the families in our schools, the members of the community who work on site and all the personnel who live in our community and contribute so much. It must be a positive indication that so many personnel remain in the Helston area upon retirement.
“We welcome the captain and personnel of HMS Seahawk exercising their freedom of the town and thank them for their service.” |
https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/adb-projects-indias-economy-to-grow-by-7-5-in-fy23/90676457 | Asian Development Bank on Wednesday projected a seven per cent collective growth for South Asian economies in 2022 with the subregion's largest
economy India growing by 7.5 per cent in the current fiscal year before picking up to eight per cent the next year. Releasing its flagship Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2022, the Manila-based multi-lateral funding agency said the growth in South Asia is projected to slow to seven per cent in 2022, before picking up to 7.4 per cent in 2023.
The subregion's growth dynamics are largely driven by India and Pakistan.
"South Asian economies are expected to expand collectively by seven per cent in 2022 and 7.4 per cent in 2023, with India -- the sub-regions largest economy -- expected to grow by 7.5 per cent this fiscal year (FY23) and eight per cent next fiscal year (FY24)," the agency's ADO report said.
Pakistan's growth is forecast to moderate to four per cent in 2022 on weaker domestic demand from monetary tightening and fiscal consolidation before picking up to 4.5 per cent in 2023, it said.
ADB said developing Asia's economies are predicted to grow by 5.2 per cent this year and 5.3 per cent in 2023, thanks to a robust recovery in domestic demand and continued expansion in exports.
"However, uncertainties stemming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the continuing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and tightening by the United States Federal Reserve pose risks to the outlook," ADB Outlook said.
Developing Asia comprises 46 member countries of ADB by geographic group: the Caucasus and Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
South Asia comprises Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
"Economies in developing Asia are starting to find their footing as they slowly emerge from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic," said ADB Chief Economist Albert Park.
However, geopolitical uncertainty and new COVID-19 outbreaks and virus variants could derail this momentum.
"Governments in the region will need to remain vigilant and prepared to take steps to counter these risks. That includes making sure as many people as possible are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Monetary authorities should also continue to monitor their
inflation situation closely and not fall behind the curve," Park said. | 0 | 93,775 | 0.035285 | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/economy/adb-projects-india-to-grow-by-7-5-in-fy23-trims-asia-forecast-on-inflation-8322331.html | 2022-04-06 06:25:32+00:00 | Asian Development Bank on Wednesday projected a seven per cent collective growth for South Asian economies in 2022 with the subregion's largest economy India growing by 7.5 per cent in the current fiscal year before picking up to eight per cent the next year.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-06/paedophile-superannuation-should-go-to-victims-xenophon-says/100970030 | Paedophiles should forfeit superannuation to pay compensation, child sex abuse victim says
Paedophiles would have their superannuation assets seized and used to pay for the ongoing care of abuse victims under a proposed legal reform endorsed by the survivor of a notorious child sex offender.
Key points:
- The plan, put forward by Nick Xenophon, has been supported by a victim of Peter Liddy
- Mr Xenophon said there were hundreds of millions in superannuation that should instead go to survivors
- A lawyer said perpetrators were deliberately hiding or moving their assets to prevent victims from accessing them
The proposal, put forward by independent federal Senate candidate Nick Xenophon, is intended to stop child sex offenders hiding assets in superannuation and then accessing them once they are released from prison.
Under current federal bankruptcy laws, there is no provision allowing perpetrators' super to be used for compensation and redress, Mr Xenophon said.
Andy Martin, who was abused between the ages of nine and 12 by notorious South Australian paedophile Peter Liddy, today expressed strong support for the proposed reform.
"Some circumstances need amending, and this is one — if a perpetrator is allowed to hide his assets or put his assets into superannuation, and not allow victims to obtain their compensation or their entitlements, that's just not on," he said.
Mr Xenophon estimated that there could be hundreds of millions of dollars locked away in superannuation accounts of convicted paedophiles across Australia, and said he was aware of one particular case in which "several million dollars" was unavailable to victims.
"Liddy is still incarcerated. Of course, he's a former magistrate, we imagine that he would potentially have significant superannuation left," he said.
"If you've committed this type of abhorrent offence, you shouldn't be able to live in luxury after you get out of prison.
"That money ought to go to the victims."
The proposal was mooted in broader form by the federal government in 2018 — but Mr Xenophon, who recently announced his intention to run for the Senate, said there had been little further progress.
The federal government has been contacted for comment.
Lawyer Andrew Carpenter said it was not simply the case that superannuation was unavailable to victims, but that paedophiles were deliberately taking steps to hide assets to ensure they were out of reach of victims.
"What we're seeing across the board is paedophiles burying their assets in superannuation," he said.
"There's no exceptions under the Bankruptcy Act and people know they can go to jail, sell everything and come out and live a comfortable life based on money they've had set aside."
Scheme would save taxpayers 'billions'
Mr Carpenter said superannuation companies "across the board" had expressed support for the reform, which he described as a "no-brainer".
"Taxpayers are funding, right now, victims of crime compensation applications, Medicare charges, Centrelink, doctors appointments — all because the survivors are needing this treatment and support to live a normal life whilst the offenders leave jail," he said.
"This is something that has cost the taxpayers billions of dollars over the years. It's about time that taxpayers stopped paying for the sins of paedophiles.
"If this law changes … not only will you lose your liberty, you'll stand to lose everything you work for and that's the real deterrent here."
Lisa, a sister of another of Liddy's victims, said it was "abhorrent and contrary to any sense of justice" that sex offenders should enjoy comfortable lives upon their release, when their victims continued to suffer.
"We believe that Peter Liddy went out of his way to thwart his victims' claims, which added considerably to the boys' distress," she said.
"While no amount of compensation would be able to remove the horrific lifetime memories that the victims must endure … the perpetrator should not be able to profit in any way.
"They should be made to do what they can to lessen the impact of their dreadful deeds by forfeiting every material thing for the benefit of their victims' ongoing rehabilitation and welfare." | 0 | 74,318 | 0.328894 | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10693993/Paedophiles-superannuation-striped-Nick-Xenophon-proposal.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-07 02:33:26+00:00 | Fresh push to strip paedophiles of their superannuation and hand the cash to victims they abused as children
- Nick Xenophon has put forward a proposal to strip paedophiles of their super
- The funds removed from offenders' super would then be given to their victims
- A number of victims and victim advocates have publicly supported the measure
There are growing calls to strip convicted paedophiles of their superannuation and hand the cash to the children they abused.
Independent Senate candidate Nick Xenophon put forward the proposal this week with a number of victims and victim advocates publicly supporting the measure.
One man who was one of many abused by prolific South Australian paedophile Peter Liddy as a child endorsed Mr Xenophon's plan.
'Some circumstances need amending, and this is one - if a perpetrator is allowed to hide his assets or put his assets into superannuation, and not allow victims to obtain their compensation or their entitlements, that's just not on,' he told the ABC.
Independent Senate candidate Nick Xenophon (pictured) put forward the proposal this week with a number of victims and victim advocates publicly supporting the measure
'What's a legal system if it's not a justice system? This has to stop now.'
Liddy, a former Magistrate, was jailed for 25 years in 2001 for sexually abusing boys between 1969 and 1986.
He often targeted his victims at an Adelaide surf life saving club during camping trips in the 80's.
Xenophon believes Liddy still has a small fortune in his superannuation account and said his money should go to his victims.
'If you've committed this type of abhorrent offence, you shouldn't be able to live in luxury after you get out of prison,' he said.
The independent candidate's proposal would not only strip perpetrators of their super, but it would also save the government billions in taxpayer money that's usually set aside for the ongoing care and support of victims.

Mr Xenophon said there are numerous convicted paedophiles in Australia who have hidden millions in their super.
Lawyer Andrew Carpenter said offenders have proactively taken steps to hide their money for fears of having it stripped from them.
He told the ABC that he and fellow lawyers have seen 'across the board' criminals 'burying their assets in superannuation'.
'They'll sell their house, put money into their lawyer's trust account and then cry poor, yet they've worked for the past 40 years in a cushy job and they're saying, "I've got millions of dollars in super but you can't touch this",' he said.
Another child sex abuse survivor who was abused by Bega Valley paedophile Maurice Van Ryn has also supported the proposal.
The survivor said the measure was a 'no brainer' and would 'benefit survivors, decrease the liability on the Australian taxpayer and act as a deterrent'.
The idea for child sex offenders to have their super funds removed and given to their victims was previously raised in 2018, but the plan saw little progress.

Currently, superannuation assets cannot be accessed as compensation by victims of abuse because of a loophole in bankruptcy laws.

In 2018 a campaign spearheaded by the victim-survivors of Maurice Van Ryn saw the federal government promise at a press conference to change the laws and close the loophole that allows convicted predators to hide their assets in superannuation, thereby preventing child abuse survivors from getting recompense through the civil courts.
Victims and their support groups applauded the changes, which will not only provide redress, but act as a deterrent for offenders.
However, despite a Treasury inquiry in 2018 and stated support from major superannuation funds, nothing has been done to close the loophole advocates said.
Head of victim-survivor advocacy group Fighters Against Child Abuse Australia (FACAA) Adam Washbourne said, currently, offenders who have substantial funds in superannuation "face no financial punishment for their crimes".
"Many sell their assets prior to imprisonment and their superannuation pool increases while in custody. They are able to then to move on with their lives and be financially secure upon release - something that their survivors are unable to do.
"Their crimes not only have a devastating impact on their survivors, but the Australian taxpayer generally foots the bill for their damage - either by way of a victims of crime compensation application, government entitlements, Medicare et cetera.
"The taxpayer should not be required to pay for their crimes".
In 2020, Andrew Carpenter from Websters Lawyers in South Australia started heavily campaigning for change after witnessing many survivors not obtaining redress due to offenders depleting their asset pool by divesting funds into their superannuation.
"This has become a common trend that is being experienced around the country and offenders are aware of this legal loophole" said Mr Carpenter.
In late 2021 Mr Carpenter teamed up with FACAA, which speaks on behalf of the victim-survivors of Maurice Van Ryn, to spearhead this campaign and put it back into the focus of law reform.
To FACAA, Mr Carpenter and the survivors of Van Ryn, this bill is a "no brainer".
"Australian taxpayers have been footing the bill for the crimes of offenders for too long," Mr Washbourne said.
"The federal government is spending more than $12billion on the National Redress Scheme for institutional abuse in addition to billions of dollars in government benefits, medical expenses and so on due to the acts of these offenders. Offenders need to be financially liable for their horrendous acts."
Mr Carpenter agreed.
"Many offenders who remain incarcerated can use their superannuation upon release to return to their lives luxuriating in their super, while their survivors generally are unemployed due to the longstanding impact these horrendous crimes have had on them.
"This change will benefit survivors, decrease the liability on the Australian taxpayer and act as a deterrent. Again, this is a 'no brainer'," Mr Carpenter said.

By Dan Nolan
The Morrison government is being accused of breaking a promise to victims of paedophiles, who say they are unable to receive compensation while their abusers are allowed to keep their cash locked in their superannuation accounts.
In 2018, the then financial services minister Kelly O’Dwyer guaranteed to close a legal loophole that allows offenders to quarantine their superannuation savings from civil compensation payouts to victims.
At a press conference held with victim advocate groups, including Bravehearts, O’Dwyer said legislation would be introduced “before the end of the year”. It wasn’t.
Victims of crime advocate Howard Brown was with O’Dwyer for the announcement, after earlier presenting her with a petition containing 20,000 signatures demanding the law be changed.
“They came up with a package as to ensure that there wasn’t going to be any unintended consequences and then, of course, she resigned and the whole thing died,” Brown told A Current Affair in an interview aired on Tuesday night.
The petition had been brought by relatives of the victims of notorious paedophile Maurice Van Ryn who committed horrific crimes against nine children near the NSW south coast town of Bega.
Van Ryn, a former chief executive of Bega Cheese, amassed a multimillion-dollar superannuation portfolio that was safeguarded from civil compensation suits brought by his victims owing to the legal loophole Minister O’Dwyer had promised to close.
Van Ryn’s victims were forced to accept a reduced settlement as his superannuation was deemed a “protected asset” under civil law.
“He basically said to us, ‘here’s X amount, that’s all you’re getting. If you don’t like it, tough because everything else is in my superannuation account and you’re not getting a penny’,” Brown said.
South Australian paedophile Peter Liddy is another who benefited from the same loophole to avoid substantial payouts to his victims.
He was South Australia’s longest-serving magistrate before being sentenced in 2001 to 25 years in prison for sex crimes against young boys he’d met at a local surf club.
Andy Martin, 52, was nine when he was preyed upon by Liddy.
He and other victims were unable to receive any substantial civil compensation from the wealthy former magistrate as most of his fortune was protected in his superannuation account.
“It hurts me more and more, the longer it goes on without being acted on,” Martin said.
“It should have happened yesterday.”
Lawyer Andrew Carpenter has been leading the charge from South Australia to have laws changed and believes it’s a “no-brainer” for the government.
“The only people that would be against implementing this legislation would be the paedophiles themselves,” Carpenter said.
In the 2018 announcement, O’Dwyer thanked those involved in the petition “for bringing this issue out into the light and making sure that Government is aware that this has been going on”.
“And as a government we have responded,” she said. “We initiated a review into these provisions late last year to see what changes needed to be made in order to provide those victims with compensation. I can announce that the government will make changes to legislation to ensure that serious crimes, where there are victims of those serious crimes, will now be able to access the superannuation of those perpetrators.”
A spokesperson for federal Finance Minister Jane Hume told A Current Affair: “Since the release of the 2018 consultation paper review of superannuation and victims of crime compensation, Treasury has undertaken initial design work on the proposals outlined in that paper. We anticipate undertaking additional consultation prior to finalising a bill for introduction into the Parliament.
“Given the vulnerable stakeholders who the measure would target (many of whom are victims of violent or sexually based crimes) and the multitude of court jurisdictions that would be captured, it is very important that the government get these policy settings right. There are difficult issues to be dealt with including balancing the rights of multiple victims, potentially multiple claims over time, and interactions with family law and bankruptcy law.”
Brown urged the government to make the change as promised.
“I’m calling on all sides of politics to get up off their backsides, look at this report and change the legislation and return some equity to these people whose lives have been torn asunder.”

The companies operating in this market are focusing on providing high-quality electric insulators by using advanced technologies and superior materials to meet the growing demands of end-users. Pin insulators, suspension insulators, strain insulators, post insulators, and shackle insulators are some of the major types of electric insulators that are being used in transmission, distribution, substation, and railways applications globally. These insulators are being used for low, medium, and high voltage applications in utilities and industrial applications. The high level of industrial growth in developing regions, rising investments in power & transportation infrastructure by governments worldwide, and the up-gradation of old grid infrastructure in developed countries are some of the key factors that are driving the demand for various types of electric insulators worldwide.
The worldwide lockdown to minimize the transmission of the virus has significantly disrupted the supply chain activities along with production volume across several manufacturers, especially the small & medium enterprise owners. The semiconductor industry took a significant hit as the demand for electric insulator components was lowered from the industrial sector and other end users. The production of electric insulators was at a halt during lockdowns. However, with the uplifting of lockdowns and vaccination processes in 2021, the manufacturing of insulators has started again.

For instance, in 2021, Japanese automobile manufacturing company “Toyota” announced that their Smart City project, the ‘Woven City’, had begun at Mount Fuji, Japan. The city is envisioned to be a smart city that is a “living laboratory” spread across 175 acres and will be used to test autonomous vehicles, along with consumer and industrial grade robotics, and above all, the integration of artificial intelligence with the personal lives and mobility of its residents. The Woven City was initially announced back in January 2020 at the Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas, where it was described as a “prototype city of the future where all ecosystems are connected.” Similarly, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation website, the government of India has selected 100 cities for area-based and pan-city development between 2019 and 2023.
For this, in 2020, the total allocated investments for the “Smart City Mission” stood at US$ 28.31 billion. Of the total investments, 5,331 projects worth US$ 24.31 billion (86% of the total) have been tendered as of 2020. Work orders have been issued for 4,540 projects worth US$ 19.33 billion (68% of the total) and 2,122 projects worth US$ 4.83 billion have been completed (17% of the total) as of 2020. In smart cities, the key services including utility, transportation, safety, and health are managed more efficiently using technology and proper utilization of resources. Smart cities are likely to depend on smart grids to provide robust energy to perform key activities and functions.

In July 2021, General Electric has been awarded multiple orders to supply 765 kV transformers and reactors in India by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), India’s largest state-owned transmission company. As part of the order, GE will provide 13 units of 765 kV transformers and 32 numbers of 765 kV reactors.
In April 2021, GE and Hitachi ABB Power Grid have signed a non-exclusive, cross-licensing agreement related to the use of an alternative gas to sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) used in high voltage equipment. This fluoronitrile-based gas mixture has a significantly reduced impact on the environment compared to SF6.

A bit worried about Mo, perhaps he finally just is tired. Trent showed his class, Konate the good & bad of a young talented CB, Virgil stood aloof above them all, Keita generally excellent, Thiago sublime until he was rested. | 1 | 4,190 | 0.721643 | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/national-media-after-liverpool-loss-23836700 | 2022-05-01 12:06:32+00:00 | Newcastle United lost 1-0 to Liverpool at St James' Park yesterday, and although there was consensus that the Magpies have improved enormously, there was disagreement about how well they did against the title contenders.
Some national journalists felt that Newcastle did as well as could be expected, while others were disappointed at the lack of competitiveness up front.
Here is a look at how the national media reported on Newcastle United's latest win:
"Gave a good account of themselves" – Gary Rose, BBC
"The match provided Newcastle with an opportunity to show what sort of threat they pose to teams at the top end of the table - and they certainly gave a good account of themselves. They started superbly, getting at Liverpool from the outset and making their opponents nervous.
"Although Newcastle could not maintain their high-tempo start, there was still a sense of pride at St James' Park at the fight shown against one of the best sides in Europe."

"A reminder of how far they have to go" – Damian Spellman, Independent
"Liverpool might – and probably should – have won more comfortably in front of a boisterous crowd of 52,281 as they held the upper hand for much of a contest which saw the Magpies' hopes of a fifth successive league win and a seventh on the trot at home wilt in the face of almost constant pressure.
“Eddie Howe's men were never able to build up the kind of head of steam which has eased them clear of the relegation battle, perhaps a reminder of how far they have to go before they can once again compete with English football's best on a sustained basis.”
"An equaliser always looked unlikely" – Louise Taylor, Observer
"An equaliser always looked unlikely. Indeed, with the overworked Dubravka, who excelled in keeping Jota’s late shot out, and Targett by far Newcastle’s best performers, Manchester City were left with manifold reasons to be distinctly nervous."
"Alisson did not have a difficult save to make" – Dan King, Sun
"If Sadio Mane had been more ruthless in his finishing and Toon goalkeeper Martin Dubravka had not denied Diogo Jota on multiple occasions, the scoreline would have reflected the Reds’ overall superiority. But Alisson did not have a difficult save to make in the whole game as Klopp’s side regained top spot in the Premier League."
"Disappointing" – Rob Draper, Mail on Sunday
"Overall, Newcastle were both tenacious opponents yet at the same time disappointing. There was the first-half disallowed goal from Miguel Almiron. And another offside moment in the second half, when Bruno Guimares broke through and Alisson was equal to him, outstanding in denying him. Yet it wouldn’t have mattered.
"The flag was raised. Liverpool’s high line had caught them again and the truth is that Newcastle never really found an answer to that. They kept Klopp tense until the end without really threatening. " |

https://www.wistv.com/prnewswire/2022/04/06/alex-therapeutics-raises-35m-oversubscribed-financing-round-top-tier-vc-investors-advance-expansion-europe-us/ | STOCKHOLM, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stockholm-based Digital Therapeutics (DTx) company Alex Therapeutics today announces it has secured a €3.5M funding round, led by European life science venture fund Hadean Ventures and joined by Scale Capital and Bonit Capital.
Alex Therapeutics aspires to become the global go-to partner for pharma, and other life-science companies seeking to develop and launch DTx solutions. These digital health products are validated in clinical trials and prescribed by a doctor, similar to traditional therapeutics. This funding round will be used to accelerate Alex's growth in Europe and the US and to develop novel DTx products alongside both new and existing partners, including Pfizer.
The round was led by Hadean Ventures, a European specialist life science venture fund, with participation from Scale Capital and Bonit Capital, the Leksell (founder of medical device company Elekta) family office. The new investors provide cross-disciplinary expertise in successfully developing medical devices and scaling global B2B tech platforms. Existing investors, the King (Candy Crush) founders through their fund Sweet Studio, also participated in the round.
Alex Therapeutics uses its AI-powered digital therapeutics platform "Alex DTx Platform" to develop and launch prescription digital therapies, typically in partnership with pharmaceutical companies. The DTx products are clinically validated and approved medical devices, prescribed by doctors and reimbursed by healthcare systems. The platform combines evidence-based psychology, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with AI and Machine Learning to provide personalized treatments that address the needs of patients worldwide.
We're overwhelmed by the interest from the investor community and are glad to welcome some incredible institutional investors to join us as we take the next major leap with Alex. We're looking forward to learning from their many years of experience in developing medical devices and scaling Nordic tech platforms internationally. They perfectly complement our current investors, who have a unique perspective on building engaging consumer technology.
John Drakenberg Renander, co-founder and CEO at Alex Therapeutics
We've been following the digital therapeutics space for a long time and are now seeing major markets such as Germany and the US open up for prescription and reimbursement of digital therapies. Alex Therapeutics' impressive track record, dedication to developing treatments with and for patients, combined with their utilization of advanced technology make them an attractive partner for companies seeking to launch digital therapeutics.
Dr. Ingrid Teigland Akay, MD, MBA, Managing Partner at Hadean Ventures
Alex Therapeutics' journey has been incredible, and we're proud to have supported them from day one. Looking back, it's astonishing what John, Oliver and their team have accomplished in such a short period of time. With partners such as Pfizer, and now institutional investors with a strong track record in life science and international expansion, there's no limit to what they can do.
Anders Frostenson, Founder & MD at Sweet Studio (King/Candy Crush founders fund)
Announced strategic commercial partnership with Pfizer earlier this year

Alex Therapeutics aspires to become the global go-to partner for pharma, and other life-science companies seeking to develop and launch DTx solutions. These digital health products are validated in clinical trials and prescribed by a doctor, similar to traditional therapeutics. This funding round will be used to accelerate Alex's growth in Europe and the US and to develop novel DTx products alongside both new and existing partners, including Pfizer.
The round was led by Hadean Ventures, a European specialist life science venture fund, with participation from Scale Capital and Bonit Capital, the Leksell (founder of medical device company Elekta) family office. The new investors provide cross-disciplinary expertise in successfully developing medical devices and scaling global B2B tech platforms. Existing investors, the King (Candy Crush) founders through their fund Sweet Studio, also participated in the round.
Alex Therapeutics uses its AI-powered digital therapeutics platform "Alex DTx Platform" to develop and launch prescription digital therapies, typically in partnership with pharmaceutical companies. The DTx products are clinically validated and approved medical devices, prescribed by doctors and reimbursed by healthcare systems. The platform combines evidence-based psychology, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with AI and Machine Learning to provide personalized treatments that address the needs of patients worldwide.
We're overwhelmed by the interest from the investor community and are glad to welcome some incredible institutional investors to join us as we take the next major leap with Alex. We're looking forward to learning from their many years of experience in developing medical devices and scaling Nordic tech platforms internationally. They perfectly complement our current investors, who have a unique perspective on building engaging consumer technology.
John Drakenberg Renander, co-founder and CEO at Alex Therapeutics
We've been following the digital therapeutics space for a long time and are now seeing major markets such as Germany and the US open up for prescription and reimbursement of digital therapies. Alex Therapeutics' impressive track record, dedication to developing treatments with and for patients, combined with their utilization of advanced technology make them an attractive partner for companies seeking to launch digital therapeutics.
Dr. Ingrid Teigland Akay, MD, MBA, Managing Partner at Hadean Ventures
Alex Therapeutics' journey has been incredible, and we're proud to have supported them from day one. Looking back, it's astonishing what John, Oliver and their team have accomplished in such a short period of time. With partners such as Pfizer, and now institutional investors with a strong track record in life science and international expansion, there's no limit to what they can do.

https://www.wistv.com/prnewswire/2022/04/06/productsup-raises-over-70m-funding-bregal-milestone-nordwind-capital/ | The investment will enable Productsup to pursue product development and M&A activity that will further its global expansion and mission to empower brands, retailers, marketplaces, and service providers to tell a consistent story across all commerce channels and win more customers
BERLIN, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Productsup, the leading P2C software company, today announced a Series B funding round for more than $70 million (€65 million) led by Bregal Milestone, a leading European technology growth capital firm, with participation from its existing investor, Nordwind Capital. The investment will enable Productsup to further advance its product development, target merger and acquisition opportunities, strengthen its partner network, and expand to new markets to solidify its position as the leading global solution for commerce success.
"What was once a simple task of bringing products to consumers has become an overwhelmingly complex process for today's businesses," said Vincent Peters, CEO at Productsup. "We're in a new era of commerce where outdated approaches are no longer effective. This funding will allow us to work toward our mission to radically rethink how companies manage their products within the commerce ecosystem, ultimately empowering our customers to turn complexity into a competitive advantage."
With global ecommerce sales projected to reach over $5 trillion by 2022, the market is ripe with opportunities for commerce businesses to scale. But research shows that more than one-third (37%) of decision-makers are concerned with the consistency of product information being passed through their tech stack. Productsup fills this gap, working with over 900 global brands, retailers, marketplaces, and service providers to help them gain control over their omnichannel strategy in order to gain market share. Processing over two trillion products per month, the Productsup product-to-consumer (P2C) platform is the only solution available that provides a holistic view of data across every product touchpoint. The platform enables companies to tell a consistent product story across more than 2,500 marketing and selling channels, which drives higher conversions and reduces time-to-market.
Productsup has seen a recent acceleration in its business thanks to its unique set of enterprise capabilities, growing net new ARR by over 60% in the last twelve months. Productsup currently boasts a gross revenue retention rate of 90% and a net revenue retention rate of 120%. Beyond financial gains, the company has increased its headcount from 150 to 300 employees, expanded its leadership team, and was named a leader in P2C management by Constellation Research all within the last year.
"Our decision to partner with Productsup was based on its long-term, sustainable trajectory as a mission-critical enterprise-grade commerce solution," said Cyrus Shey, Managing Partner of Bregal Milestone. "Whereas alternative vendors mostly offer point solutions, Productsup uniquely addresses the needs of the evolving commerce market for a single view of all product information value chains and offers seamless, end-to-end product data control – across all global channels and in real-time."
Productsup will work closely with Bregal Milestone's in-house value creation team, Milestone Performance Partners, to identify and invest in various product development initiatives to further accelerate Productsup's growth. As part of the funding round, Bregal Milestone will partner with existing investor Nordwind Capital who initially invested in the company in 2017 and still retains a majority stake in Productsup after the transaction.
"This investment substantiates the effort and work we have put forth into transforming Productsup to be the P2C category leader," said Christian Plangger, Managing Partner of Nordwind Capital. "We are excited to partner with a renowned technology-focused growth capital firm like Bregal Milestone to continue to build on the company's successes and accelerate its growth globally."
"With technology advancements like the metaverse on the horizon, these are exciting times for the commerce world," said Marcel Hollerbach, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Productsup. "We are about to enter a new era of innovation, so it's our priority to ensure companies are equipped to manage the proliferation of shopping channels and experiences to become the disruptors – not the disrupted."

About Productsup
Productsup frees brands, retailers, service providers, and marketplaces from commerce anarchy. The Productsup product-to-consumer (P2C) platform processes over two trillion products a month, empowering long-term business success as the only global, strategic, scalable platform managing all product-to-consumer information value chains across any platform, any channel, any technology.

BERLIN, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Productsup, the leading P2C software company, today announced a Series B funding round for more than $70 million (€65 million) led by Bregal Milestone, a leading European technology growth capital firm, with participation from its existing investor, Nordwind Capital. The investment will enable Productsup to further advance its product development, target merger and acquisition opportunities, strengthen its partner network, and expand to new markets to solidify its position as the leading global solution for commerce success.
"What was once a simple task of bringing products to consumers has become an overwhelmingly complex process for today's businesses," said Vincent Peters, CEO at Productsup. "We're in a new era of commerce where outdated approaches are no longer effective. This funding will allow us to work toward our mission to radically rethink how companies manage their products within the commerce ecosystem, ultimately empowering our customers to turn complexity into a competitive advantage."
With global ecommerce sales projected to reach over $5 trillion by 2022, the market is ripe with opportunities for commerce businesses to scale. But research shows that more than one-third (37%) of decision-makers are concerned with the consistency of product information being passed through their tech stack. Productsup fills this gap, working with over 900 global brands, retailers, marketplaces, and service providers to help them gain control over their omnichannel strategy in order to gain market share. Processing over two trillion products per month, the Productsup product-to-consumer (P2C) platform is the only solution available that provides a holistic view of data across every product touchpoint. The platform enables companies to tell a consistent product story across more than 2,500 marketing and selling channels, which drives higher conversions and reduces time-to-market.
Productsup has seen a recent acceleration in its business thanks to its unique set of enterprise capabilities, growing net new ARR by over 60% in the last twelve months. Productsup currently boasts a gross revenue retention rate of 90% and a net revenue retention rate of 120%. Beyond financial gains, the company has increased its headcount from 150 to 300 employees, expanded its leadership team, and was named a leader in P2C management by Constellation Research all within the last year.
"Our decision to partner with Productsup was based on its long-term, sustainable trajectory as a mission-critical enterprise-grade commerce solution," said Cyrus Shey, Managing Partner of Bregal Milestone. "Whereas alternative vendors mostly offer point solutions, Productsup uniquely addresses the needs of the evolving commerce market for a single view of all product information value chains and offers seamless, end-to-end product data control – across all global channels and in real-time."
Productsup will work closely with Bregal Milestone's in-house value creation team, Milestone Performance Partners, to identify and invest in various product development initiatives to further accelerate Productsup's growth. As part of the funding round, Bregal Milestone will partner with existing investor Nordwind Capital who initially invested in the company in 2017 and still retains a majority stake in Productsup after the transaction.
"This investment substantiates the effort and work we have put forth into transforming Productsup to be the P2C category leader," said Christian Plangger, Managing Partner of Nordwind Capital. "We are excited to partner with a renowned technology-focused growth capital firm like Bregal Milestone to continue to build on the company's successes and accelerate its growth globally."
"With technology advancements like the metaverse on the horizon, these are exciting times for the commerce world," said Marcel Hollerbach, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Productsup. "We are about to enter a new era of innovation, so it's our priority to ensure companies are equipped to manage the proliferation of shopping channels and experiences to become the disruptors – not the disrupted."
