The State Department announced on Monday that they are launching the Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy as a way to defend Americans online.
In a news release, the agency said the bureau will address "national security challenges, economic opportunities, and implications for U.S. values associated with cyberspace, digital technologies, and digital policy."
The department said it would consist of three policy units: international cyberspace security, international information and communications policy, and digital freedom.
Eventually, a Senate-confirmed ambassador-at-large will lead the bureau.
Jennifer Bachus would begin serving as principal deputy assistant secretary starting Monday, the department said.
She will also lead the bureau until an ambassador-at-large is appointed.
Other positions the department announced include Michele Markoff as acting deputy assistant secretary for international cyberspace security, Stephen Anderson as acting deputy assistant secretary for international information and communications policy, and Blake Peterson as acting digital freedom coordinator.

So, when a Reddit user asked wedding planners of the internet, "What made you say 'this one's not even going to last a year...?' people who work in the wedding industry were ready to share the red flags they immediately clocked from engaged couples on wildly thin ice.
I have seen brides fight their grooms at the reception, I've seen a bride bash a family member over the head with a bottle of champagne, I've seen small children whip burning tea lights at guests from a floor above, I've seen a guest try to fake a slip & fall to sue the venue. - CarsForSorrow
Event Manager with a caterer. Pregnant maid-of-honor told the bride's sister that she's been with the groom and the baby is his. She was dead sober, which is what made it so odd that it came out like that. Needless to say we got to go home early that night. - youngmanhood

It is time to fix Harrisburg so government can work - for the people
The Pennsylvania Constitution promises the people of Pennsylvania the right to alter and reform our government. That essential right is consistently ignored.
As campaign season begins in earnest, Pennsylvania voters are readying themselves for the traditional campaign promises. Some of those promises date back decades, with no progress in sight. It’s not that candidates don’t mean what they say. It’s just that in Pennsylvania’s legislative process, there’s no way for the average senator or representative to move bills forward, no matter how hard they try.
Fair Districts PA (FDPA) has learned that through painful experience. Our grassroots, nonpartisan coalition, a fiscal project of the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, was formed in 2016 to advocate for redistricting reform. The goal from the start has been to support bills to create an independent citizens redistricting commission. The first of those bills, introduced by Sen. Lisa Boscola, D-18th Dist., Lehigh and Northhampton counties, in late 2015, was drafted with input from legislators in both House and Senate, with Republican and Democratic prime-sponsors. At the time, legislators and their staff made clear that unless advocates demanded reform, nothing would happen.
In the years since, FDPA has worked hard to use appropriate avenues of advocacy:
- Our supported bills had more cosponsors than other bills in two successive sessions.
- Commissioners from 24 counties and supervisors from over 350 municipalities representing more than 70% of the commonwealth passed resolutions in support of an independent commission.
- Constituents in every legislative district asked for meetings with their representatives to discuss supported bills, with a final tally of over 200 meetings.
- Legislators and legislative leaders received thousands of emails and calls asking that bills be given a vote.
- More than 100 media outlets around Pennsylvania printed more than 1,000 letters, op-eds and editorials in support of redistricting reform.
Despite those efforts, supported bills were gutted or ignored. Now, the same leaders who blocked reform complain about a partisan redistricting process while introducing measures to remove all current safeguards.
The Pennsylvania Constitution promises the people of Pennsylvania the right to alter and reform our government. That essential right is consistently ignored.
A March 2022 Fox43 investigation called attention to the deep brokenness of Pennsylvania’s expensive, full-time legislature. That report noted that In the 2019-2020 session, “more than 81% of all bills introduced never left committee.” Of over 4,000 bills introduced, just 331 passed in both House and Senate. Of those, 22 addressed pandemic relief, 30 were budget-related, 9 named bridges and 9 were land deals. Many pressing policy concerns shared by large majorities of Pennsylvania voters were nowhere in the mix.
A recent Franklin and Marshall Opinion Poll found that 73% of Pennsylvania voters believe it’s more important for their party “to support policies that appeal to a broad segment of voters, even if it requires compromising on some issues,” rather than “support policies without compromising even if those policies do not appeal to a broad segment of voters." Just 19% prefer a no-compromise approach.
Yet, year after year, bills with broad bipartisan support are blocked by committee chairs and legislative leaders. A 2012 study on “The Democratic Deficit” ranked states by how well policy enacted reflected voter preferences. Pennsylvania’s score was 33%, tied for last with West Virginia and Wyoming.
A more recent assessment of state legislatures, done in 2016 by FairVote and the Bipartisan Policy Center with help from the National Council of State Legislatures, gave Pennsylvania an agenda fairness score of 0%.
For decades, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania has recommended attention to procedural rules that allow the General Assembly to ignore issues of consistent concern to Pennsylvania voters. Fair Districts PA focused more attention on the issue at the start of the last two sessions. In the first vote of every session, our legislators vote for rules that remove their right to represent us.
Despite assurances that voters’ voices are heard, we’ve watched with alarm as the trend appears to be moving in the wrong direction. Evidence suggests there is now even less collaboration, less attention to bills introduced by the minority party, and less interest in bills with clear bipartisan support.
Together, FDPA and LWVPA are launching a new "Fix Harrisburg" campaign to ask for rules that ensure bipartisan solutions receive a vote. We know it will take more than better maps and a few improved procedural rules to restore real representation in Pennsylvania, but we’re working toward achievable goals that would make a significant difference.
What happens in Harrisburg impacts every one of us, every day, in more ways than we realize. Our children’s schools, our internet access, our access to health care, our roads, bridges, air, water, wages: All are impacted by decisions made far from public view. This will be an important election year, with top statewide offices open and new district maps. Five Pennsylvania Senate seats are open and at least 35 Pennsylvania House seats have no incumbent running. This year, more than ever, every vote WILL count. It’s important that we vote for legislators who believe in our right to alter and reform our government, and that we demand procedural rules that ensure government of, by and for the people.Learn more and sign the Fix Harrisburg petition at FixHarrisburg.com.
Carol Kuniholm is the chairwoman of Fair Districts PA.

It’s not the end of the world. It only seems that way.
Climate change is going to get worse, but as gloomy as the latest scientific reports are, including today’s from the United Nations, scientist after scientist stresses that curbing global warming is not hopeless. The science says it is not game over for planet Earth or humanity. Action can prevent some of the worst if done soon, they say.
After decades of trying to get the public’s attention, spur action by governments and fight against organized movements denying the science, climate researchers say they have a new fight on their hands: doomism. It’s the feeling that nothing can be done, so why bother. It’s young people publicly swearing off having children because of climate change.
University of Maine climate scientist Jacquelyn Gill noticed in 2018 fewer people telling her climate change isn’t real and more “people that we now call doomers that you know believe that nothing can be done.” Gill says it is just not true.
“I refuse to write off or write an obituary for something that’s still alive,” Gill told The Associated Press, referring to the Earth. “We are not through a threshold or past the threshold. There’s no such thing as pass-fail when it comes to the climate crisis.”
“It’s really, really, really hard to walk people back from that ledge,” Gill said.
Doomism “is definitely a thing,” said Wooster College psychology professor Susan Clayton, who studies climate change anxiety and spoke at a conference in Norway last week that addressed the issue. “It’s a way of saying ‘I don’t have to go to the effort of making changes because there’s nothing I can do anyway.’”
Gill and six other scientists who talked with The Associated Press about doomism aren’t sugarcoating the escalating harm to the climate from accumulating emissions. But that doesn’t make it hopeless, they said.
“Everybody knows it's going to get worse,” said Woodwell Climate Research Center scientist Jennifer Francis. “We can do a lot to make it less bad than the worst case scenario.”
The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change just issued its third report in six months. The first two were on how bad warming is and how it will hurt people and ecosystems, with today's report focusing on how the extent of disruption depends on how much fossil fuels are burned. It shows the world is still heading in the wrong direction in its fight to curb climate change, with new investments in fossil fuel infrastructure and forests falling to make way for agriculture.
“It’s not that they’re saying you are condemned to a future of destruction and increasing misery,” said Christiana Figueres, the former U.N. climate secretary who helped forge the 2015 Paris climate agreement and now runs an organization called Global Optimism. “What they’re saying is 'the business-as-usual path ... is an atlas of misery ’ or a future of increasing destruction. But we don’t have to choose that. And that’s the piece, the second piece, that sort of always gets dropped out of the conversation.”
United Nations Environment Program Director Inger Andersen said with reports like these, officials are walking a tightrope. They are trying to spur the world to action because scientists are calling this a crisis. But they also don’t want to send people spiraling into paralysis because it is too gloomy.
“We are not doomed, but rapid action is absolutely essential,” Andersen said. “With every month or year that we delay action, climate change becomes more complex, expensive and difficult to overcome.”
“The big message we’ve got (is that) human activities got us into this problem and human agency can actually get us out of it again,” James Skea, co-chair of Monday’s report, said. “It’s not all lost. We really have the chance to do something.”
Monday’s report details that it is unlikely, without immediate and drastic carbon pollution cuts, that the world will limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times, which is the world’s agreed upon goal. The world has already warmed 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit). And earlier IPCC reports have shown that after 1.5 degrees, more people die, more ecosystems are in trouble and climate change worsens rapidly.
“We don’t fall over the cliff at 1.5 degrees," Skea said, "Even if we were to go beyond 1.5 it doesn’t mean we throw up our hands in despair.”
IPCC reports showed that depending on how much coal, oil, and natural gas is burned, warming by 2100 could be anywhere from 1.4 to 4.4 degrees Celsius (2.5 to 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times, which can mean large differences in sickness, death and weather disasters.
While he sees the increase in doom talk as inevitable, NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt said he knows first-hand that people are wrong when they say nothing can be done: “I work with people and I’m watching other people and I’m seeing the administration. And people are doing things and they’re doing the right things for the most part as best they can. So I’m seeing people do things.”
Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann said scientists used to think Earth would be committed to decades of future warming even after people stopped pumping more carbon dioxide into the air than nature takes out. But newer analyses in recent years show it will only take a few years after net zero emissions for carbon levels in the air to start to go down because of carbon being sucked up by the oceans and forests, Mann said.
Scientists' legitimate worries get repeated and amplified like in the kids game of telephone and “by the time you’re done, it’s ‘we’re doomed’ when what the scientist actually said was we need to reduce or carbon emissions 50% within this decade to avoid 1.5 (degrees of) warming, which would be really bad. Two degrees of warming would be far worse than 1.5 warming, but not the end of civilization," Mann said.
Mann said doomism has become far more of a threat than denialism and he believes that some of the same people, trade associations and companies that denied climate change are encouraging people who say it is too late. Mann is battling publicly with a retired University of Arizona ecologist, Guy McPherson, an intellectual leader of the doom movement.
McPherson said he’s not part of the monetary system, hasn’t had a paycheck in 13 years, doesn’t vote and lived off the grid for a decade. He said all species go extinct and humans are no exception. He publicly predicted humanity will go extinct in 2026, but in an interview with The Associated Press said, “I’m not nearly as stuck on 2026," and mentioned 2030 and changes to human habitat from the loss of Arctic summer sea ice.
Woodwell’s Francis, a pioneer in the study of Arctic sea ice who McPherson said he admires, said while the Arctic will be ice free by the summer by 2050, McPherson exaggerates the bad effects. Local Arctic residents will be hit hard, “the rest of us will experience accelerated warming and sea-level rise, disrupted weather patterns and more frequent extreme weather. Most communities will adapt to varying degrees,” Francis said. “There’s no way in hell humans will go extinct by 2026.”
Humans probably can no longer prevent Arctic sea ice from disappearing in the summer, but with new technology and emissions cuts, Francis said, “we stand a real chance of preventing those (other) catastrophic scenarios out there.”
Psychology professor Clayton said “no matter how bad things are, they can always be worse. You can make a difference between bad and worse... That’s very powerful, very self-affirming.”

Explained: What is staking in crypto?
With the ever-increasing Crypto market, staking has become a popular method among investors to earn a profit on their coins without trading them.
As many are searching about staking in crypto on Google, here's an explainer on the same.
What is staking in crypto?
Staking in crypto is similar to earning interest on our bank deposits. When an individual deposits funds in a savings account, the bank typically lends it out to others, and the account holder receives a very small portion of the interest earned from lending.
Similarly, when crypto holders stake their assets, they participate in running the blockchain and maintaining its security. In return, they earn rewards that are calculated in percentage yields and are higher than the interest rate offered by the banks.

How does staking in crypto work?
Investors can stake a portion of their cryptocurrency holdings through a staking pool, provided that the coins they have allows staking. Staking-enabled cryptocurrencies employ the “proof-of-stake” methodology to ensure that all transactions are validated and safeguarded without the need for a bank or payment processor.
Which coins allow staking?
Cryptocurrencies that process payments using the 'proof of stake' model allow staking. This is an energy-efficient alternative to the original proof of work model that requires mining devices to solve mathematical problems.
Ethereum, Polkadot, and Cardano are some of the cryptocurrencies that allow staking.

How can you stake in crypto?
The most convenient way to stake in crypto is using an exchange. If you have bought coins in an exchange, participate in its staking programme. As per the schedule provided by the exchange, the rewards will be sent to your account.
Binance, Coinbase, AQRU, Crypto.com, Kraken, and Voyager are some of the exchanges that allow staking.

DETROIT (AP) — BMW has halted production at two German factories. Mercedes is slowing work at its assembly plants. Volkswagen, warning of production stoppages, is looking for alternative sources for parts.
For more than a year, the global auto industry has struggled with a disastrous shortage of computer chips and other vital parts that has shrunk production, slowed deliveries and sent prices for new and used cars soaring beyond reach for millions of consumers.
Now, a new factor — Russia’s war against Ukraine — has thrown up yet another obstacle. Critically important electrical wiring, made in Ukraine, is suddenly out of reach. With buyer demand high, materials scarce and the war causing new disruptions, vehicle prices are expected to head even higher well into next year.
The war’s damage to the auto industry has emerged first in Europe. But U.S. production will likely suffer eventually, too, if Russian exports of metals — from palladium for catalytic converters to nickel for electric vehicle batteries — are cut off.
“You only need to miss one part not to be able to make a car,” said Mark Wakefield, co-leader of consulting firm Alix Partners’ global automotive unit. “Any bump in the road becomes either a disruption of production or a vastly unplanned-for cost increase.”
Supply problems have bedeviled automakers since the pandemic erupted two years ago, at times shuttering factories and causing vehicle shortages. The robust recovery that followed the recession caused demand for autos to vastly outstrip supply — a mismatch that sent prices for new and used vehicles skyrocketing well beyond overall high inflation.
In the United States, the average price of a new vehicle is up 13% in the past year, to $45,596, according to Edmunds.com. Average used prices have surged far more: They’re up 29% to $29,646 as of February.
Before the war, S&P Global Mobility had predicted that global automakers would build 84 million vehicles this year and 91 million next year. (By comparison, they built 94 million in 2018.) Now it’s forecasting fewer than 82 million in 2022 and 88 million next year.
Mark Fulthorpe, an executive director for S&P, is among analysts who think the availability of new vehicles in North America and Europe will remain severely tight — and prices high — well into 2023. Compounding the problem, buyers who are priced out of the new-vehicle market will intensify demand for used autos and keep those prices elevated, too — prohibitively so for many households.
Eventually, high inflation across the economy — for food, gasoline, rent and other necessities — will likely leave a vast number of ordinary buyers unable to afford a new or used vehicle. Demand would then wane. And so, eventually, would prices.
“Until inflationary pressures start to really erode consumer and business capabilities,” Fulthorpe said, “it’s probably going to mean that those who have the inclination to buy a new vehicle, they’ll be prepared to pay top dollar.”
One factor behind the dimming outlook for production is the shuttering of auto plants in Russia. Last week, French automaker Renault, one of the last automakers that have continued to build in Russia, said it would suspend production in Moscow.
The transformation of Ukraine into an embattled war zone has hurt, too. Wells Fargo estimates that 10% to 15% of crucial wiring harnesses that supply vehicle production in the vast European Union were made in Ukraine. In the past decade, automakers and parts companies invested in Ukrainian factories to limit costs and gain proximity to European plants.
The wiring shortage has slowed factories in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and elsewhere, leading S&P to slash its forecast for worldwide auto production by 2.6 million vehicles for both this year and next. The shortages could reduce exports of German vehicles to the United States and elsewhere.
Wiring harnesses are bundles of wires and connectors that are unique to each model; they can’t be easily re-sourced to another parts maker. Despite the war, harness makers like Aptiv and Leoni have managed to reopen factories sporadically in Western Ukraine. Still Joseph Massaro, Aptiv’s chief financial officer, acknowledged that Ukraine “is not open for any type of normal commercial activity.”
Aptiv, based in Dublin, is trying to shift production to Poland, Romania, Serbia and possibly Morocco. But the process will take up to six weeks, leaving some automakers short of parts during that time.
“Long term,” Massaro told analysts, “we’ll have to assess if and when it makes sense to go back to Ukraine.”
BMW is trying to coordinate with its Ukrainian suppliers and is casting a wider net for parts. So are Mercedes and Volkswagen.
Yet finding alternative supplies may be next to impossible. Most parts plants are operating close to capacity, so new work space would have to be built. Companies would need months to hire more people and add work shifts.
“The training process to bring up to speed a new workforce — it’s not an overnight thing,” Fulthorpe said.
Fulthorpe said he foresees a further tightening supply of materials from both Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is the world’s largest exporter of neon, a gas used in lasers that etch circuits onto computer chips. Most chip makers have a six-month supply; late in the year, they could run short. That would worsen the chip shortage, which before the war had been delaying production even more than automakers expected.
Likewise, Russia is a key supplier of such raw materials as platinum and palladium, used in pollution-reducing catalytic converters. Russia also produces 10% of the world’s nickel, an essential ingredient in EV batteries.
Mineral supplies from Russia haven’t been shut off yet. Recycling might help ease the shortage. Other countries may increase production. And some manufacturers have stockpiled the metals.
But Russia also is a big aluminum producer, and a source of pig iron, used to make steel. Nearly 70% of U.S. pig iron imports come from Russia and Ukraine, Alix Partners says, so steelmakers will need to switch to production from Brazil or use alternative materials. In the meantime, steel prices have rocketed up from $900 a ton a few weeks ago to $1,500 now.
So far, negotiations toward a cease-fire in Ukraine have gone nowhere, and the fighting has raged on. A new virus surge in China could cut into parts supplies, too. Industry analysts say they have no clear idea when parts, raw materials and auto production will flow normally.
Even if a deal is negotiated to suspend fighting, sanctions against Russian exports would remain intact until after a final agreement had been reached. Even then, supplies wouldn’t start flowing normally. Fulthorpe said there would be “further hangovers because of disruption that will take place in the widespread supply chains.”
Wakefield noted, too, that because of intense pent-up demand for vehicles across the world, even if automakers restore full production, the process of building enough vehicles will be a protracted one.
When might the world produce an ample enough supply of cars and trucks to meet demand and keep prices down?
Wakefield doesn’t profess to know.
“We’re in a raising-price environment, a (production)-constrained environment,” he said. “That’s a weird thing for the auto industry.”

Europe-South America partnership could challenge FIFA power
By ROB HARRIS
AP Global Soccer Writer
LONDON (AP) — A deeper alliance between the football confederations from Europe and South America has been cemented by opening a joint office in London. It comes just as FIFA President Gianni Infantino has been left chastened by the collapse of his pursuit of biennial World Cups. UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and CONMEBOL counterpart Alejandro Dominguez sought to emphasize this was not a collaboration with greedy motivations in speeches at the office opening. Ceferin signalled a desire to use the partnership for the benefit of other confederations, telling the London audience that “we are ready to cooperate with everyone.”

Diego Simeone feels Atletico Madrid will have to step up a level from their victory over Manchester United when they face Manchester City in the Champions League.
The Spanish champions are back in Manchester less than a month after winning at Old Trafford as they take on City in the first leg of their quarter-final on Tuesday.
Atletico manager Simeone said: “United had different characteristics. They are a lot more direct, a lot quicker.
“City are more positional and they manage things very well all over the pitch. I’m sure we’ll have to be better than we were three weeks ago.”
The match has been billed as a clash of styles between the pragmatic tactics of Simeone and the more fluid, possession-based formula of Pep Guardiola.
Simeone has no intention of diverting from his tried-and-trusted methods but insists he is a big admirer of the way City play.
The Argentinian said: “We’re going to play where we think we can hurt them. We’re going to use our characteristics, the way we’ve been playing for years, and continue to compete.
“But City are a lovely team to watch. What I like most about teams that play well like them is the strength and effort they put in to winning the ball back while continuing to play in an attacking way.
“They have some great players – Sterling, De Bruyne – but what wakes me up is that they run, they pressurise, they are always active. They never leave a lost ball. This work ethic is additional to the talent. All managers want that.”
Simeone regards City, along with Bayern Munich, as favourites for the competition but is confident his side can prevail over two legs.
“I have no doubt City have extraordinary players and they have better players than us,” said the 51-year-old, whose side have won their last six matches in all competitions.
“But there are two games to play. Obviously City and Bayern are favourites because of their players but last season Chelsea won the Champions League. Not many expected that.”

A man who regained consciousness in 2003 after spending 19 years in a coma has passed away.
Terry Wallis died last week at 57, according to an obituary published by Roller Funeral Homes, USA Today and NBC News reported.
According to a 2003 Associated Press article, the Arkansas native and a friend were in a car accident in July 1984 when their vehicle left the road and plunged into a creek.
When they were found the next day underneath a bridge, his friend had died, and Wallis was comatose.
According to the obituary, Wallis' daughter was born six weeks before the accident.

(Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes rose on Monday, boosted by megacap tech and growth stocks and a surge in Twitter after Elon Musk revealed a stake in the company, despite cautionary signals in the bond market and talk of more sanctions against Russia over Ukraine.
Cyclical and defensive sectors, such as financials and utilities, were in negative territory.
Shares of Twitter surged 29% after Tesla Inc Chief Executive Musk revealed a 9.2% stake in the micro-blogging site, making him its largest shareholder. Shares of other social media companies also rose.
Tesla shares rose 5.7% after the company on Saturday reported record electric vehicle deliveries for the first quarter.
"A lot of the news we are seeing today is generally positive for technology," said Mona Mahajan, senior investment strategist at Edward Jones.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 24.61 points, or 0.07%, to 34,842.88, the S&P 500 gained 25 points, or 0.55%, to 4,570.86 and the Nasdaq Composite added 227.46 points, or 1.59%, to 14,488.96.
Along with Tesla, gains in Apple Inc, Amazon.com Inc and Microsoft Corp gave big boosts to the S&P 500.
However, eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors were weaker, with utilities falling 1% and real estate down 0.6%.
The S&P 500 growth index gained 1.4% while the S&P 500 value index fell 0.3%.
"Pressures on economic growth are rising and that is not necessarily great for some of the cyclical parts of the market, so that is maybe why we are seeing this value/growth rotation today," Mahajan said.
In the bond market, the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yield ticked up on Monday and the 2-year/10-year yield curve remained inverted. The curve inversion is seen as a harbinger for a recession in the next two years or so.
Stocks have rebounded in recent weeks after a rocky start to the year amid concerns about the Federal Reserve tightening monetary policy to fight inflation and the war in Ukraine. The S&P 500 is down about 4% so far in 2022, after being down as much as 12.5%.
Investors remained concerned about the Ukraine crisis, which has led to a spike in commodity prices that has worsened the outlook for already high inflation.
Global outrage spread on Monday at civilian killings in northern Ukraine, where a mass grave and tied bodies shot at close range were found in a town taken back from Russian troops. The deaths are likely to galvanize the United States and Europe into additional sanctions against Moscow.
In company news, Starbucks Corp fell 4.5% after former CEO Howard Schultz announced the suspension of the company's stock repurchasing program.
U.S.-listed shares of Chinese companies such as Alibaba jumped after China proposed revising confidentiality rules involving offshore listings.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers on the NYSE by a 1.01-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.65-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
The S&P 500 posted 10 new 52-week highs and three new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 45 new highs and 53 new lows.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A 58-year-old man accused of fatally stabbing a Seattle-area police officer on the Las Vegas Strip made an initial appearance Monday before a judge who scheduled his next court date next month.
Freddy Allen spoke in court only to acknowledge that he faces a murder charge. He was not asked to enter a plea before he was returned to jail, where he is being held without bail.
Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia had ordered Allen brought to court on Monday “by any means necessary” after Allen twice refused last week to attend court.
Allen’s appointed public defender, Melissa Oliver, declined to comment after Monday's court hearing.
Allen is accused of killing Tyler Steffins, 33, an Edmonds, Washington, police officer who was visiting Las Vegas, following an argument late March 26 about Steffins petting another man’s dogs on a pedestrian bridge over Las Vegas Boulevard.
Las Vegas police said Steffins was not armed and officers who chased Allen saw him toss a hunting knife into a fountain, where it was retrieved following his arrest.
Records show that Allen had been released from jail in February after serving a 90-day sentence on a misdemeanor battery conviction following his arrest last November in an attack on a man on the Strip.

Driverless Tech CEO: This Will Be the First Autonomous Driving to Take Off
Autonomous driving technology has the potential to disrupt the way people and things go from point A to point B. But what will the first large-scale self-driving push actually look like?
In this interview clip from Motley Fool Live, recorded on March 10, Andrey Bolshakov, founder and CEO of Evocargo, talks with Motley Fool contributor Toby Bordelon about what he believes will be the first space to be transformed by autonomous driving, and why.
10 stocks we like better than Walmart
When our award-winning analyst team has an investing tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.*
They just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now... and Walmart wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.
Stock Advisor returns as of 2/14/21
Toby Bordelon: Do you think we get human transportation first or is it probably get more cargo and package transit first? I think I know what you would say the answer is.
Andrey Bolshakov: Yeah. As my history I started with human transportation, but now I personally believe that cargo transportation will be the first area of really huge usage because of economy of that. In case of, for example, if you're talking about taxi driving and all these autonomous taxis. If you just watch on their economy, they're using a lot of lidar, a lot of cameras. In case of the cost of equipment they're using for this autopilot thing, and the cost of the driver salary, and so on, the cost of all this equipment will be years of the salary of the driver they're trying to get rid of, for example. I suppose it couldn't be economically efficient in years. It is going to be even worse in case of regulatory. Because as I mentioned, if you have people not just outside the vehicle but also inside the vehicle, there are a lot of issues regarding sitting, going in, going out and so on. It would be really harsh and really hard to work in. In case of focus area, all of these, taxi and public transportation takes place in public areas, like taking your children from school or to school or something like that, or maybe deliver ice cream to your children or something like that, the case of technology and safety, the safety level of such type of vehicle should be much higher than we can expect in vehicles working on just cargo transportation on some manufacturing areas, for example. Taking all of it into account, I personally believe that cargo transportation will be the first area between two of these.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid worries that the latest coronavirus variant could spark another rise in cases, Medicare announced Monday that millions of enrollees will finally have access to free over-the-counter COVID-19 tests at drug stores.
More than 59 million people with Medicare’s “Part B” outpatient coverage will be able to get up to eight free at-home tests per month, or enough for an individual to test twice a week, as some doctors have recommended.
Medicare has lagged private insurance in following the Biden administration’s directive to cover at-home tests because rules and regulations stood in the way, and officials had to find a work-around. This is the first time the health insurance program for older people and those with disabilities has covered an over-the-counter test at no cost to recipients.
Medicare’s move could turn out to be prescient.
The BA.2 omicron variant now accounts for more than half of U.S. cases, having rapidly overtaken the original strain. That initial omicron wave this winter caused the biggest spike yet in virus cases, straining many hospitals to the limit. Since then, cases nationally have rapidly dropped to the lowest level since before last summer’s delta surge. Coronavirus restrictions have been largely lifted. But some areas where BA.2 took hold early are seeing increasing cases.
Monday’s announcement followed another precautionary move last week, when government health officials authorized a second round of booster shots for people 50 and older as well as those with weakened immune systems.
National pharmacy chains participating in Medicare’s give-away include: Albertsons Companies, Inc., Costco Pharmacy, CVS, Food Lion, Giant Food, The Giant Company, Hannaford Pharmacies, H-E-B Pharmacy, Hy-Vee Pharmacy, Kroger Family of Pharmacies, Rite Aid Corp., Shop & Stop, Walgreens and Walmart.

The DVLA has issued another update on its processing times for paper driving licences and logbooks which has been delayed due to a high volume of enquiries. As wait times could take a while, you may still be able to drive while your application is being processed.
If you applied for your new licence online then your application will already be in the application process since there are no delays with online transactions. In fact, the DVLA encourages using online services to minimise delays with applications.

3 Reasons Why Synnex (SNX) Is a Great Growth Stock
Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock.
That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss.
However, it's pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.
Synnex (SNX) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.
Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.
Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this high-tech contractor a great growth pick right now.
Earnings Growth
Arguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for Synnex is 5.7%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 21.6% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 6.8%.
Impressive Asset Utilization Ratio
Asset utilization ratio -- also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio -- is often overlooked by investors, but it is an important indicator in growth investing. This metric shows how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.
Right now, Synnex has an S/TA ratio of 2.25, which means that the company gets $2.25 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.6, it can be said that the company is more efficient.
In addition to efficiency in generating sales, sales growth plays an important role. And Synnex looks attractive from a sales growth perspective as well. The company's sales are expected to grow 98.5% this year versus the industry average of 11%.
Promising Earnings Estimate Revisions
Superiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The current-year earnings estimates for Synnex have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 2.6% over the past month.
Bottom Line
While the overall earnings estimate revisions have made Synnex a Zacks Rank #2 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.
You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
This combination positions Synnex well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

Ukraine on Sunday accused Russian forces of carrying out a "massacre" in the town of Bucha after the nation saw bodies in a mass grave and lying on the streets.
Bucha's mayor said 300 residents had been killed during a month-long occupation by the Russian army.
India Today TV visited the crime scene and spoke to locals. Sasha, a resident of Bucha, said, "There has been a massive loss of lives and properties. People are very scared."

There was no electricity, water or gas in the area. While many of the residents fled, a few families that remain in Bucha were seen cooking their food out in the open.
Ukrainian authorities accused the departing forces on Sunday of committing war crimes and leaving behind a "scene from a horror movie."

As images of the bodies emerged from Bucha, European leaders condemned the atrocities and called for tougher sanctions against Moscow.
Oleksiy Arestovych, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said Ukrainian troops had found the bodies of women who had been raped and set alight as well as the bodies of local officials and children.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden on Monday called for a war crimes trial against Russian President Vladimir Putin and additional sanctions following reported atrocities in Bucha.

While most New Yorkers have eagerly ditched their masks as the recovery from the winter COVID-19 surge continues, some counties are now being encouraged to mask up once again as the state has seen a rise in cases in some regions.
In late February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its guidance on mask-wearing to concentrate on COVID-19 hospitalizations, hospital capacity, and newly reported infections, permitting most of the state to drop the mandate.
However, after New York reported nearly 30,000 new COVID-19 cases in the week ending on Sunday, April 3, making a near 20 percent rise in parts of the state, certain areas are being advised by the CDC to re-enact mask mandates to help curtail the spread of the virus.
The CDC also offers a color-coded map — with counties designated as orange, yellow, or green — to help guide local officials and residents.
In green counties, local officials can drop any indoor masking rules. Yellow means people at high risk for severe disease should be cautious, and orange designates places where the CDC suggests masking should be universal, regardless of vaccination status.
As of Monday, April 4, these New York counties were in the “orange” zone:
- Cayuga;
- Onondaga;
- Oswego.
These counties were in the “yellow” zone:
- Broome;
- Tioga;
- Cortland;
- Tompkins.
All other counties in New York have been listed as “green” and can drop any mask mandate, per state law and CDC guidance.
“The good news is we have tools to address this,” State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett stated. “I urge all New Yorkers to remain vigilant and take steps to protect themselves and their families.”
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky cited protection from immunity rising both from vaccination and infection as reasons for altering the guidance on masks.
“Anybody is certainly welcome to wear a mask at any time if they feel safer wearing a mask,” she said during an earlier news briefing to announce the changes.
“We want to make sure our hospitals are OK and people are not coming in with severe disease,” she continued. “Anyone can go to the CDC website, find out the volume of disease in their community and make that decision.”

Inspirational photo exhibit shines a light on Mainers living with mental illness
BANGOR – McLean Hospital, located just outside of Boston, and Bangor International Airport are bringing an inspirational exhibit highlighting stories of people living with mental illness to Maine. The goal of the exhibit, which opens today at the airport, is to increase awareness and reduce the stigma that is too often associated with depression, anxiety, substance use, and other mental illnesses.
The Bangor exhibit is part of “Deconstructing Stigma: Changing Attitudes About Mental Health,” McLean’s international mental health awareness campaign, featuring compelling portraits of courageous people who volunteer to share their stories with the hope of changing how people living with mental illness are viewed. Deconstructing Stigma initially launched in 2016 with a large installation at Boston Logan International Airport. Since then, McLean has partnered with airports and other public venues worldwide to feature volunteers who share their stories about their experiences living with mental illness. The Bangor exhibit features several volunteers from Maine and was done in collaboration with Northern Light Acadia Hospital and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Maine.
“We are excited to bring Deconstructing Stigma to Maine and are grateful to the Bangor International Airport and our advocacy partners for supporting our efforts to heighten awareness and spark conversation about mental health,” said Scott O’Brien, director of education outreach for McLean Hospital. “Most of all, however, I want to express our deepest thanks to the volunteers of Deconstructing Stigma who have bravely shared their personal stories in hopes of helping others.”
The Strength of Storytelling
After witnessing a tragic event while at work, Ron began to struggle with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
“I’d start crying at bedtime, I’d start crying before I went to work. I’d explode at home and start yelling. I was in a hard spot emotionally,” explained Ron.
In time, Ron reached out for help, confiding in trusted colleagues. He was able to take time off from work, get treatment, and today is in a much better place.
Ron volunteered to be part of Deconstructing Stigma because he wants to encourage people who may be facing depression and PTSD to reach out for help. He also has a special plea for those who work in high-stress jobs to pay attention to their co-workers and look for signs of trouble.
“Stories like Ron’s are important to share because far too many people are afraid to speak up. Thankfully, Ron recognized he needed help and reached out,” said BGR Director Tony Caruso. “Thousands of people come through the airport each year. By providing space in our facility for Deconstructing Stigma, we hope Ron’s story and the others that now adorn our walls will raise awareness, provide support, and encourage our friends, family, and neighbors to seek help when they need it.”
McLean is honored to have local collaborators, including Northern Light Acadia Hospital and the NAMI Maine. These two organizations are dedicated to providing mental health support to individuals and families throughout Maine.
“Normalizing and prioritizing conversations about mental health leads to more Mainers getting connected to help and hope. This display reminds us that it’s okay to “not be okay” and help is available. The Maine Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI Maine) is grateful for the stigma-busting work of McLean Hospital and Bangor International Airport. During a time when mental health needs are high, this story-telling installation is really a story of hope.” – Nicole Vera, NAMI Maine, chief operating officer

A man who regained consciousness in 2003 after spending 19 years in a coma has passed away.
Terry Wallis died last week at 57, according to an obituary published by Roller Funeral Homes, USA Today and NBC News reported.
According to a 2003 Associated Press article, the Arkansas native and a friend were in a car accident in July 1984 when their vehicle left the road and plunged into a creek.
When they were found the next day underneath a bridge, his friend had died, and Wallis was comatose.
According to the obituary, Wallis' daughter was born six weeks before the accident.
Wallis remained in a coma until June 12, 2003, when he regained consciousness and became known worldwide as "The Man Who Slept for 19 Years," the news outlets reported.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — As Yellowstone National Park celebrates its 150th anniversary year, the park's fundraising arm is seeking $1,500 donations in exchange for an annual entry pass that can be used by carloads of the donor's descendants to visit the park in 150 years.
Yellowstone Forever will use the money raised through the sale of “Inheritance Passes” to support park projects like trail improvements, education, native fish conservation and scientific studies.
It is our way of celebrating 150 years of Yellowstone National Park and to help preserve the park for the next 150 years,” Lisa Diekmann, president and CEO of Yellowstone Forever, told The Billings Gazette.
The concept was created by the Havas Chicago design firm.
“To celebrate Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary, rather than look back, we thought it would be the perfect time to look ahead and think about how we can preserve the park for future generations,” said Bailey Doyle with Havas Chicago.
The Inheritance Passes will be annual passes valid for entry into Yellowstone in 2172. Donors will also receive an pass to enter Yellowstone that is good for a period of a year after its first use. said Wendie Carr, chief marketing officer for Yellowstone Forever.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Jury selection in the deadliest U.S. mass shooting ever to go to trial began Monday with preliminary screening for the panel that will determine whether Nikolas Cruz will be put to death for murdering 17 students and staff members at a Parkland, Florida, high school.
Eighteen members of the first panel of 60 prospective jurors survived the only question they were asked by Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer: Could they serve in a trial that is expected to last from June to September? The 18 will be brought back in several weeks for questioning about whether they could judge Cruz fairly and their views on the death penalty. Two more groups are expected to be screened Monday.
Court officials have said 1,500 candidates or more could be brought before Scherer, prosecutors and Cruz's attorneys for preliminary screening. The expected two-month process will pick 12 panelists plus eight alternates. Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, meaning the jury will only decide if he receives a death sentence or life without parole.
Cruz sat between his attorneys, wearing a gray sweater and an anti-viral face mask, four sheriff's deputies sitting nearby. He spoke only briefly, waiving his right to participate directly in the screening process.
Eight parents and other family members of some victims sat together in the courtroom.
When prospective jurors are brought back in a few weeks, they will be asked whether they can judge the case fairly. They also will be asked if they can vote for the death penalty if the evidence supports that verdict, but don’t believe it should be mandatory for murder. Those who can't will be dismissed.
Seven other U.S. killers who fatally shot at least 17 people died during or immediately after their attacks, either by suicide or at the hands of police. The suspect in the 2019 massacre of 23 at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart is still awaiting trial.
Death penalty trials in Florida and much of the country often take two years to start because of their complexity, but Cruz's was further delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and extensive legal wrangling.
Tony Montalto, whose 14-year-old daughter, Gina, died in the attack, said the trial “has been a long time coming.”
“I just hope everyone remembers the victims,” he said. Cruz, he said, “told the world his plans on social media, carried out those plans in a cold and calculated manner and murdered my beautiful daughter, 13 of her classmates and three of her teachers.”
The parents and spouses of victims who have spoken publicly said they are in favor of Cruz's execution. Montalto has not answered the question directly, but has said on multiple occasions that Cruz "deserves every chance he gave Gina and the others.”
When the prospective jurors who pass the initial screening return for individual questioning several weeks from now, both prosecutors and the defense can challenge any for cause. Scherer will eliminate candidates who lawyers from either side have convinced her would be prejudiced against their side. Each side will also get at least 10 peremptory strikes, where either can eliminate a candidate for any reason except race or gender.
For Cruz, a former Stoneman Douglas student, to get the death penalty, the jury must unanimously agree that aggravating factors such as the number of people he killed, his planning and his cruelty outweigh such mitigating factors as his lifelong mental illness and the death of his parents.
If any juror disagrees, Cruz will receive a life sentence.

A federal board began hearing testimony Monday on whether to let Amtrak resume passenger train service linking New Orleans and Alabama's main port city over the objections of freight companies.
The hearing, conducted virtually by the Surface Transportation Board, will help determine whether the government railroad can once again offer passenger transportation on a section of the northern Gulf Coast where Amtrak hasn't operated since Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage in 2005.
Freight haulers CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway, in conjunction with the Alabama State Port Authority, contend Amtrak's plan to run twice-daily, round-trip trips between New Orleans and Mobile would interfere with their traffic and create problems at the Alabama state docks in Mobile. Amtrak should have to make as much as $440 million in improvements before running passenger trains, they argue.
Amtrak asked the board to allow passenger trains to begin operating immediately and decide later on what kinds of infrastructure changes are needed. Freight companies are being unreasonable because they don't want to make any changes to their schedules or operations, Amtrak attorney Jessie Amunson said.
Railroad operations are more complicated on the Gulf Coast than anywhere else in the country because of the large amount of water and the complexity of rail switching operations in New Orleans, a major hub linking Eastern and Western railroads, said Charlie Banks, a management consultant testifying for CSX and Norfolk Southern
Adding passenger trains along the roughly 137-mile (220-kilometer) route would cause “serious degradations” to rail transportation on the coast, he said.
“It is an extremely challenging territory even just to operate fright trains, let alone Amtrak,” Banks said.
But Amunson said Congress already has established the importance of reestablishing passenger service in the region and argued it was time to move ahead after years of studies and negotiations.
“Enough is enough,” she said.
Board chair Martin Oberman said the panel had plenty of studies and statistics about the potential impact of resuming passenger train service but must determine what's reasonable under the law.
“We’ve got lots of metrics. We don’t know what to put them up against,” he said.
Amtrak has been trying to resume passenger rail service on the Gulf Coast since 2015, according to the Southern Rail Commission. The board last year dismissed objections from CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway and let Amtrak continue with its attempt to gain access to freight lines for passenger trains.

Longtime Starbucks leader Howard Schultz — who returned to the company as interim CEO on Monday — said his first major action will be suspending Starbucks' share buyback program and plowing those billions of dollars into the company instead.
“This decision will allow us to invest more profit into our people and our stores — the only way to create long-term value for all stakeholders,” Schultz said in an open letter to employees posted on Starbucks' website.
The pivot in strategy comes just three weeks after Starbucks announced that Schultz, who bought the company in 1987 and led it for more than three decades, would be taking over the company's top role until it finds a permanent CEO. Previous CEO Kevin Johnson announced his retirement on March 16; the company said it expects to name a permanent CEO by this fall.
Starbucks announced late last year that it was committing to a three-year, $20 billion share repurchase and dividend program to return profits to investors. That was on top of a $25 billion share buyback and dividend program the company announced in 2018.
Buybacks often raise a company's stock price, rewarding its shareholders. But some critics, including Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, say buybacks also inflate executive compensation and do nothing to improve a company's goods and services.
Investors weren't pleased by the news. Starbucks' shares were down 4% in afternoon trading Monday.
It's not clear how ending the buyback program will impact Schultz himself, since Starbucks has not revealed how many shares he currently owns. At the time he left the company in 2018, he and his family held 34 million shares; that would be worth nearly $3 billion today.
Schultz is currently volunteering his time as interim CEO, taking $1 in compensation.
Monday's announcement indicates Schultz is feeling some heat from employees, many of whom have publicly complained about understaffed stores and lagging pay.
Last fall, Starbucks committed to spending $1 billion over two years to increase U.S. employee pay, which will average $17 per hour by this summer. But many workers have questioned if that was adequate, considering Johnson's 2021 compensation package totaled more than $20 million.
As a result, Starbucks is facing growing unionization effort that Schultz may be seeking to quell. Ten of the company's 9,000 company-owned U.S. stores have voted to unionize since December, and at least 181 more in 28 states have filed to hold union elections. Workers United, a branch of the Service Employees International Union, is leading that effort.
Last Friday, workers at Starbucks' flagship Reserve Roastery in New York voted 46-36 to form a union. It was the largest store to vote for unionization to date.
In his previous time with the company, the 68-year-old Schultz successfully fought attempts to unionize Starbucks' U.S. stores and roasting plants. Starbucks had to reinstate fired workers or pay to settle labor law violations numerous times under Schultz's leadership in the early 2000s.
Schultz did not mention the unionization effort in his letter to employees Monday. He said he plans to travel to stores and manufacturing plants worldwide to get input on how to remake the company after several turbulent years.
“Pinched supply chains, the decimation caused by COVID, heightened tensions and political unrest, a racial reckoning and a rising generation which seeks a new accountability for business,” Schultz wrote. “As Starbucks, we can either choose to rise to this moment — or stand idle.”

The Federation selected Dr. Lednev to receive this year's award for his many accomplishments, contributions to the field, and to the organization
MOUNT ROYAL, N.J., April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS), a cooperative of existing nonprofit scientific and educational organizations that are concerned with the development of chemical analysis by bringing together all facets of analytical problem solving, announced earlier this month that the Federation had chosen Dr. Igor K. Lednev as the 2022 Charles Mann Award recipient.
"I am delighted this year's award is going to Professor Igor Lednev," said Charles Mann Award Committee Chair Pavel Matousek. "Igor has pioneered numerous areas of Raman spectroscopy including the field of forensic Raman, not only academically but also through practical implementation as evidenced by his close engagement with state crime laboratories and rich commercial translational activities. Igor is also a long-standing contributor to the SciX conference program, regular session organizer and chair, enthusiastic supporter of early career researchers and equal opportunities champion. This is a well-deserved recognition and I wholeheartedly congratulate Igor for this achievement and look forward to the next exciting science emerging from his laboratories."
Dr. Lednev is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University at Albany, State University of New York. He is a co-founder and CTO of SupreMEtric LLC and Early Alzheimer's Diagnostics, LLC and has served as an advisory member on the White House Subcommittee for Forensic Science. Together with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), he organized the first NIJ Forensic Science Symposium at Pittcon in 2018, now an annual event.
Lednev's research is focused on the development and application of novel laser spectroscopy for forensic purposes, medical diagnostics, and fundamental biochemistry. His accomplishments include the development of a universal method for confirmatory identification of all main body fluids using Raman spectroscopy. The method allows for differentiating human and animal blood, determining the time-since-deposition of bloodstains for up to two years, as well as allowing for phenotype profiling including determining the race, sex, and age group of the donor. Lednev works closely with state crime laboratories to implement this novel technology.
Lednev is a Fellow of the Royal Society and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. He received the Gold Medal Award from the NY/NJ Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, Guest Professor Fellowship from the Friedrich-Schiller-University, Research Innovation Award from Research Corporation, Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, and CAS Dean's Award for Outstanding Achievements in Teaching.
For more information about FACSS, its events, membership, and awards, visit facss.org.
About the Charles Mann Award
The Charles Mann Award for Applied Raman Spectroscopy was instituted by FACSS in 2002 following the sudden death of Professor Charles (Charlie) Mann. Professor Mann was a well-known and long-standing member of the faculty of Florida State University (FSU). Professor Mann and his faculty colleague, Professor Tom Vickers, contributed significantly to the development of analytical Raman spectroscopy via publications, participation at numerous meetings including the annual FACSS meeting, and participation in the ASTM sub-committee on Raman spectroscopy E13.08. Professor Mann's research areas covered the fundamentals including data analysis (chemometrics and databases), quantitative Raman, and instrumental understanding of applied applications such as polymers and inorganics.
The award includes an honorarium, an engraved plate, a plenary lecture at the SciX conference, and a special session honoring the contributions of the awardee. Dr. Lednev's plenary lecture will be given at FACSS's SciX conference in 2022, held in the Greater Cincinnati area, September 2- October 7.

The Man Who Voiced Darth Vader Grew Up in This Michigan Ghost Town
The famous tones of Darth Vader from "Star Wars" were voiced by actor James Earl Jones.....it was in this obscure Michigan town where he spent his childhood. The former town of Dublin may not show up on some maps, but the Dublin General Store does.
Dublin sits within Norman Township in Manistee County. It was a lumber town, sitting along the Pere Marquette Railroad. Trains traveled a steep grade in the area, which sometimes caused them to lose their shipments. They had to double back to pick up their lost cargo, therefore - so the legend says - the town was dubbed "Dublin" as in "doublin' back".
As for "Darth Vader" himself, James Earl Jones, his family moved here from Mississippi into an old chicken barn that was transformed into their home (some bios mistakenly say he lived in Brethren, due to the fact that Dublin was in the Brethren School District).
His old house is gone, but the foundation remains, with pine trees growing out of it. Think you can find it? Just take one of the few side roads and see if you can tell which one it is! Dublin has some hidden neighborhoods within the woods so be respectful if you happen to drive down any of those dirt roads (there is a "James" street in the woods, which makes me wonder...did they name it after him? Is that the road he once lived on?).
In 1918, thirteen years before Jones was born, the population of Dublin was 100. At one time Dublin had an auto livery, blacksmith, general store, gift shop, insurance office, library, newsdealer, photo shop, post office, three poultry farms, railroad station, and real estate office. Nowadays there's a general/hardware store, gas station, and a couple of other businesses. The rest are all gone and their remains are hard to find, if any.
This would be a great stop on your Michigan roadtrip - especially for "Star Wars" fans! But please be respectful of the community and private property; take your pictures, buy some road munchies, but don't vandalize or be obnoxious. This is a cool little community!

The St. Louis Area Foodbank is doing more than helping feed people throughout the region. It also strives to provide nutritious foods that meet respective community needs.
Through an alliance with the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), during the next two years the St. Louis Area Foodbank and 31 organizations will implement nutrition ranking systems.
PHA will help partners assess nutritional quality of inventories “and make strategic decisions within and across food categories to improve nutritional quality, enhancing food equity for the communities they serve,” according to a release.
“Our mission at the St. Louis Area Foodbank is to nourish people, empower communities, and transform systems - all with the lens of ensuring that everyone has access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences to live an active and healthy life, Meredith Knopp, St. Louis Area Foodbank president and CEO, said in a release.
“This means that we are listening to our partners, understanding the unique cultural and dietary needs of our communities, and building new relationships with food producers to raise awareness and access to the very best foods for our community.”
St. Louis Area Foodbank received $35,000 in grant funding from PHA to begin implementation of Healthy Eating Resource (HER) guidelines and the Supporting Wellness At Pantries (SWAP) ranking tools, and for distribution of nutritionally dense fresh produce.
Knopp said the “turn-key resource will allow all of us to directly impact the health and wellness of those we serve in our 26-county service area.”
“PHA’s Healthy Hunger Relief partners serve as the foundation of our mission to transform the food landscape in pursuit of food equity,” said Nancy E. Roman, PHA president and CEO said.
“Through our work together, we’re ensuring that communities and families all across the country have access to healthier, high-quality, culturally relevant, and nutritious foods.”
Last year, PHA committed to providing 50 million servings of vegetables, fruits, and legumes to food-insecure families by 2025.

Kiski Area boys tennis taking aim at WPIAL playoff berth
By:
Monday, April 4, 2022 | 12:14 PM
The Kiski Area boys tennis team was a win away from a WPIAL playoff berth last season.
With the entire young lineup returning, coach Trent Goerk and the Cavaliers are focused on a trip to the postseason.
“We definitely hope to have the playoffs in our sights for the kids,” Goerk said. “I’ve coached and been in the playoffs before. That’s their goal and my goal. They are the ones that have to accomplish it and do the work. Moving forward, I think that’s a great possibility. We’re looking forward to playing a couple key matches down the stretch that can make that happen.”
Kiski Area lost to Latrobe, 3-2, in the Section 1-3A finale last year, and the Wildcats moved on to the playoffs, along with Franklin Regional, Penn-Trafford and Norwin.
The Cavaliers are off to a 3-3 start this season, including a 1-1 mark in section matches. They had a strong performance March 24 in a 5-0 win over Penn-Trafford.
Kiski Area had straight-sets singles wins by juniors Jackson Newell and Nate Coleman and sophomore Calder Gee. They also had doubles wins by juniors David Curry and Anders Bordoy, as well as junior Ethan Beck and senior Zach Jordan.
“My kids aren’t year-round tennis players so there’s always a period where they need to get back into the swing of the things,” Goerk said. “They’re starting to find their groove.”
Newell at No. 1 singles and Coleman at No. 2 singles each got valuable experience at the top of the lineup last year, including at the Section 1 singles and doubles tournaments.
They have returned to the top of the lineup this season.
“Jackson works hard and loves the game and plays a lot in the offseason when he has a chance,” Goerk said. “He did some stuff at Lakeview (Athletic Club) and went to Murrysville (Racquet Club) a few times. He continues to pick up the racquet and play whenever he can.
“Nate is an in-season tennis player but is a tremendous athlete and just works hard and goes out there and gives the same effort every time and is a great competitor.”
Goerk also will be leaning on his lone senior, Jordan, to provide a steady presence and leadership to the mostly underclass group.
“Zach is a quiet team leader. He does exactly what I tell him to do,” the coach said. “He’s just aggressive and always right on top of the net ready to put away volleys. He’s a great competitor and a kid I’ve become very fond of on the team.”
Though Kiski Area will move down to Class 2A next season, this year they remain in Section 1-3A with Connellsville, Franklin Regional, Gateway, Hempfield, Latrobe, Norwin and Penn-Trafford.
“Franklin Regional is obviously the top of the section and a very good team,” Goerk said. “We hope to compete against them and take our best shot. Also, Norwin and Latrobe will be the next hurdles we have to jump.”
The Cavaliers will compete in the section singles tournament April 6-7 and the section doubles tournament April 19-20.
“They look forward to the competition, and competing against the other schools is something special,” Goerk said. “We obviously realize that Franklin Regional has some really good players at 1 and 2, but we’re always looking to compete and see if one of our kids can qualify. We just go out there and do our best and see where the chips fall.”

DALLAS — Sixteen people were injured, including one as young as 13, and one person was killed in a Saturday night shooting during a trail ride and concert in southern Dallas, police officials said.
Police Chief Eddie Garcia on Monday gave an updated count on how many people were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds, an increase from the 11 victims reported on Sunday.
Garcia also confirmed that seven off-duty Dallas police officers were working security at the event but left about an hour before the shooting, which happened shortly after midnight.
Garcia said the officers were approved for the off-duty work but should not have been approved due to issues with the event not having proper city permits.
Dallas police officers said they responded to a shooting call at 5050 Cleveland Road in southern Dallas at approximately 12:13 a.m. on Sunday.
Upon arriving at the scene, police said they found a 26-year-old man identified as Kealon Dejuane Gilmore lying near a stage with a gunshot wound to his head. Police said Gilmore was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police described Gilmore's death as a homicide.
Police also said that an additional 16 victims of the shooting -- including three juveniles -- were transported to an area hospital by either ambulance or private vehicle.
According to police, one of those victims was in critical condition as of late Sunday morning, while the remaining victims were in stable condition.
As of Monday, all victims were in stable condition. Police also on Monday released the ages of the injured victims. Three were juveniles, ages 13, 14 and 15.
The other victims ranged in age from 18 to 29.
Garcia in Monday's news conference said detectives were still investigating the shooting and that no suspects have been arrested. Garcia also said police officials are looking into why officers were approved to work an event with permitting issues.
"The event should not have been allowed in the first place," Garcia said.
Garcia said he's hoping to work with city officials on possibly creating an ordinance related to event promoters to prevent a situation that happened this weekend with an unpermitted event.
“People coming to an event should be able to enjoy the event and not worry if they make it home," Garcia said.
Witnesses WFAA spoke with said as many as 2,000 people were in attendance at the open-air event, which was billed as the Second Annual Epic Easter Bike Out & Field Party.
"Everybody was running," said Lulu Smith, who attended the event with her daughter. "It was so jam-packed right here, you couldn't get in or out. When I got to my car, somebody was shooting. I rolled down my window and I heard [shots]."
Smith told WFAA that this event was not your typical concert setting. It was a trail ride event in a remote area, where attendants drove their ATVs, sat in the bed of trucks and paraded through the property before finishing up for a concert at the main stage.
According to other witnesses, the situation arose from a fight that broke out on the scene. Witnesses WFAA spoke with also believed that there were multiple shooters.
"Once they seen they can't break up the fight, they shot in the air to stop it," said a woman who only wanted to be identified as Brittney, and who happened to be in the fray when the shooting occurred. "It escalated, and they started shooting people."
Police confirmed that their preliminary investigation determined one unknown individual at the event fired a gun into the air, followed by another unknown individual firing a gun in the direction of the crowds.
Reached for comment, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson provided WFAA the following statement on the shooting: "Last night’s violence was horrific and unacceptable. I am praying for the victims, and I look forward to our police department bringing those responsible to justice. Public safety remains our top priority, and I will be conferring with Police Chief Eddie Garcia to see what more can be done to stop this kind of violence in our city."
The event was to be headlined by Memphis rapper Big Boogie. According to a post on the performer's Instagram page, the shooting occurred before he arrived at the venue.
A flyer for the event promoted it as happening at 5050 Cleveland Road, with gates opening at noon, horses and ATVS welcome, and kids aged 10 and under being admitted for free.
Multiple flyers for the event also promoted that Dallas police would on site, working alongside 60 security personnel -- "necessary steps and precautions to make the event a safe and fun space for all in attendance," read on flyer, which also stated that this decision was made "due to the rise of senseless violence." Flyers additionally noted that guests would be subjected to metal detectors upon arrival, that "drama of anykind [sic] will not be tolerated" and that promoters were "not responsible for accidents or theft."
The organizer of the event released a statement Sunday afternoon, saying that the event had Dallas police officers and added security.
“On behalf of the Epic Easter Officials, we are saddened by the unfortunate events that occurred yesterday. Our goal was to organize a positive event for and by our people. We took the necessary steps to offer safety by having Dallas Police officers and security personnel on scene. Additionally, emergency officers and vehicles were on standby. However, some things were still out of our control. Our team did not expect a turn out of that capacity, but we truly appreciate the support of all that came & those who traveled to attend. Our prayers and deepest condolences go out to the individuals and families involved.”
As investigators piece this all together, a topic that is also certain to come up is the capacity for the event. Witnesses said that, with people running at the sound of gunshots, police and emergency vehicles were unable to promptly enter the scene upon arrival.
Police said their investigation into the shooting, its motive and the circumstances surrounding Gilmore's death are still under investigation.
This is the second mass shooting at a party in Dallas in recent weeks. On March 19, 10 people were injured in a shooting during a spring break party at the southern Dallas venue The Space. One of the victims of that incident, an 18-year-old man, later died from his injuries. Police are still searching for suspects in that shooting as well.
This is a developing story. Check back for more details as they come.

“As I’ve been saying in every single interview like this will be a dream become reality right now,” Rodríguez said. “As you guys can see, you work your whole life to basically get to this point right now, it’s amazing honestly.”
Entering Monday’s spring training game, Rodríguez was hitting .419 with three home runs, eight RBIs and a 1.310 OPS. He’s also shown the capability of handling duties in center field, which will allow Seattle the flexibility to use multiple outfield lineups consisting of Rodríguez, Jarred Kelenic, Mitch Haniger and Jesse Winker.
“Tremendous upside, potential in his ability on the field. I think what excites everybody is just his joy and passion for playing baseball,” Servais said. “He loves baseball. He really does. He loves being a part of what we’re doing here. And the way it looks, he’s going to have a big part of this going forward.”
Rodríguez has been rated among the top 10 prospects in baseball by multiple publications and while his potential was noted for several years it was last season where he really had a breakout. Rodríguez hit .347 with 13 homers and 47 RBIs at two stops in the minors. He also was a major contributor for the Dominican Republic team that won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.
Servais said it was noticeable the first couple of days after players reported that Rodríguez had spent time in the offseason preparing for the opportunity to make the major league roster. Rodríguez’s power inside his 6-foot-3, 228-pound frame has been noticeable for several years, but the improvement in his speed is making him a bigger threat on the bases and allows the Mariners to play him in center field.
“I don’t think I will be here right now taking advantage of this opportunity if I wasn’t preparing myself for the past two years,” Rodríguez said. “That played the biggest part in my development was that choice me and my whole group made and just to go after it the best way that I could possibly do.”

(NEXSTAR) – Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in the “Winner Takes All” main event at WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium to become the only Heavyweight Champion in WWE. The pair made headlines over two days of matches that drew more than 150,000 fans at the Dallas Cowboys’ home in Arlington, Texas.
The two Titans went back and forth as they hit the ringside barricades and kicked each other’s signature moves. In the end, Reigns hit one last spear to take down “The Beast” and won a pinfall.
Reigns and Lesnar have been emerging as two of the top modern stars of sports entertainment over the past year. Lesnar won the 2022 Royal Rumble and immediately chose Reigns at his WrestleMania…

Last spring, UCF tight end Alec Holler had yet to make a name for himself on the field.
The Winter Park native soon changed that earning a scholarship over the summer and catching 19 passes for 192 yards with 3 touchdowns in Gus Malzahn’s first year in Orlando.
Holler had gone from walk-on special-teams player to lead tight end and starting eight times while playing in every game for the Knights.
Another change in his UCF career is underway this spring.
“I feel like I’m taking more of a leadership role in the tight room,” Holler said.
Although Holler has been at UCF the longest compared to the rest of the tight ends, he’s joined this season by another tight end with plenty of experience — Kemore Gamble, a transfer from the University of Florida.
Gamble came to UCF for his final season of college football after 5 seasons in Gainesville.
“He’s explosive and super athletic,” Holler said about Gamble. “He’s a great pass-catcher and is going to be physical.”
Gamble caught 4 touchdowns last season, which was tied for the most on the Gators with receiver Jacob Copeland, and finished third in receiving with 31 catches for 414 yards. He averaged 13.5 yards per reception.
“He’s going to be a great addition to the tight end room,” Holler said.
As Holler is teaching the ins and outs of UCF’s offense to Gamble, Holler is learning parts of the game from his new teammate as well.
“He’s actually helped me a lot with some route-running and some stuff that I’ve never thought of before,” Holler said.
Another new face to the tight end group is true freshman Grant Stevens — an early enrollee from Ponte Vedra Beach’s Nease High who caught 17 passes for 190 yards and 2 touchdowns his senior season.
“He’s kind of similar to Kemore,” Holler said. “He’s a great route-runner. We’re still working on learning the offense and stuff like that because he’s [supposed to be] still in high school.”
Holler sees a bright future for Stevens.
“He’s going to be a great player,” Holler said. “I think he can really be the future of the tight end room.”
As Holler becomes a leader this spring for Stevens and Gamble as well the rest of the group, he’s working to improve himself.
Holler said he’s trying to put on more muscle and be more physical of a blocker. Holler said he weighs 240 pounds and has put on about 5 since the end of last season.
“I’m very technical with my footwork but I need to be able to displace dudes to be able to get holes open for [Isaiah] Bowser, Johnny [Richardson], and all of the other running backs,” he said.
Holler works under tight ends coach and special-teams coordinator Brian Blackmon, who is a role model for him.
“He’s someone I can sit down with and talk about life or football,” Holler said. “He’s really good about teaching the little things, like the footwork. He fits me really well as a coach. I love working with him.”
With Blackmon guiding the group and Holler establishing himself as a leader, Holler feels confident about the direction of the tight ends.
“I think the tight end room has made huge steps this spring,” Holler said. “Everyone’s been playing at a different level.”

Dan Walker has announced he is the latest star to leave the BBC following a string of high-profile departures for the broadcaster.
The TV star, who has hosted BBC Breakfast since 2016, is leaving to join 5 News at Channel 5, replacing Sian Williams.
In a video message on Twitter, Walker said it was a “massive decision” because he loves the breakfast show but added it was a rare opportunity and he “can’t wait”.
The announcement marks the latest departure for the BBC following the loss of Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis and former North American editor Jon Sopel.
In February, the pair announced they will be hosting a new podcast for Global Player, a radio show together on LBC, and provide commentary and analysis for the station’s website.
Maitlis joined the BBC in 2001 and has presented Newsnight since 2006, winning a Royal Television Society award for her interview with Prince Andrew in 2019, while Sopel joined the broadcaster in 1983.
Similarly in November last year, veteran journalist Andrew Marr announced he was moving to Global after 21 years at the BBC.
Marr joined the corporation in May 2000 as political editor and later spent 16 years at the helm of his own Sunday morning show.
The 62-year-old said he was moving to Global as it offered him a “new freedom” to do “fast-paced, very regular political journalism on LBC with no filter”.
In February 2020, former deputy political editor John Pienaar announced he was leaving the BBC to join Times Radio after nearly three decades.
Later that year, the Andrew Neil Show was one of the casualties of the BBC cuts, following the broadcaster’s 2016 announcement that it needed to save £800 million, with around £80 million of that figure coming from news.
Neil later announced he was to be the face and chairman of GB News, signalling the end of his relationship with the BBC, where he has been one of the most respected political interviewers.
The former Sunday Times editor has since stepped down from GB News and announced he will be hosting a new Sunday night political show for Channel 4.
A BBC source said: “People come, people go, but we have lots of existing talent and new and emerging stars and there is always a natural point where people move on.”

Germany is expelling 40 Russian diplomats in response to the killings in Bucha and says further measures with partners are being prepared.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the images received from the Ukrainian town following the withdrawal of Russian troops “shows an intent to destroy that goes beyond all boundaries”.
Ms Baerbock said the Bucha images also reveal the “unbelievable brutality of the Russian leadership and those who follow its propaganda”.
The German diplomat said “we must fear similar images from many other places occupied by Russian troops in Ukraine” and that “we must counter this inhumanity with the strength of our freedom and our humanity”.
She added “it must also be clear that we must stand up for our freedom and be prepared to defend it”.
She said the Russian diplomats expelled “have worked here in Germany every day against our freedom, against the cohesion of our society” and that their work is “a threat to those who seek protection with us”.
Ms Baerbock said she told the Russian ambassador “we will not tolerate this any longer”.

Peaky Blinders' final episode pulls in a peak of 3.7m viewers - after 'sobbing' fans bid farewell to Tommy Shelby in dramatic conclusion
The final episode of Peaky Blinders pulled in a peak of 3.7 million viewers, as viewers bid farewell to Tommy Shelby on Sunday night.
Fans of the gangster drama were left 'sobbing' by the tense conclusion, which saw the family patriarch embark on a murderous rampage which included the death of one major character.
Peaky Blinders' final episode sparked a flurry of reaction from viewers with many lauding the spellbinding 80-minute conclusion despite its ambiguous ending, setting the stage for a spin-off film which has already been confirmed.
It's over! The final episode of Peaky Blinders pulled in a peak of 3.7 million viewers, as viewers bid farewell to Tommy Shelby on Sunday night
Peaky Blinders' final episode pulled in an average of 3.3 million viewers and reached a peak of 3.7 million, according to overnight figures.
The numbers were a huge boost on the previous week's episode, which boasted overnight ratings of 2.8 million viewers, and will no doubt see its final viewership increase once catch-up viewers are added.
Peaky Blinders' sixth series saw Tommy Shelby's wife Lizzie (played by Natasha O'Keeffe) reveal that she was leaving him, which promoted the protagonist (Cillian Murphy) to up-sticks to Canada.
Ending: Fans of the gangster drama were left 'sobbing' by the tense conclusion, which saw the family patriarch embark on a murderous rampage
'I'm literally shaking!' Peaky Blinders' last ever episode was branded a 'masterpiece' by some viewers as the hit BBC drama came to a spellbinding conclusion
However, it was a tense exchange between the main character and his cousin Michael (Finn Cole) which left fans on the edge of their seat.
Hell-bent on avenging the death of his mother Polly Gray (the late Helen McCrory), Michael attempted to murder his relative by blowing up his car.
Thinking he had been successful, he entered a bar before saying: 'Mum, it's done. It's over. My God, forgive me,' however he couldn't have been more wrong.
Tommy had ordered his friend Johnny Dogs (Packy Lee) to transfer a timed bomb to a nearby vehicle, and soon followed Michael into the tavern.
Explosive: Series six of the cult gangster programme ended with an 80 minute extravaganza, complete with one final murder of a major character
Tragic: Tommy Shelby's wife Lizzie (played by Natasha O'Keeffe) revealed that she was leaving him, which promoted the protagonist (Cillian Murphy) to up-sticks to Canada
End of an era: She left her wedding ring behind in emotional scenes during the installment
He boomed: 'Speak to me. Speak to me Michael,' while his astonished cousin stared on before replying, 'You killed her.'
Tommy replied: 'Polly made her own choices, Michael,' who argued: 'No. No one close to you makes a choice without your opinion Tom.
'Not Arthur, not me, not Ada. We can't escape you, your lethal hand is always on our shoulders.'
The World War I veteran then said: 'She'll visit me no more,' before shooting Michael in his eye.
Wow! However, it was a tense exchange between the main character and his cousin Michael (Finn Cole) which left fans on the edge of their seat
Shocking: Hell-bent on avenging the death of his mother Polly Gray (the late Helen McCrory), Michael attempted to murder his relative by blowing up his car
One step ahead: Tommy had ordered his friend Johnny Dogs (Packy Lee) to transfer a timed bomb to a nearby vehicle, and soon followed Michael into the tavern
Fans, who were left 'literally shaking' by the installment, rushed to Twitter to laud Cillian for his acting skills while begging for future episodes.
They wrote: 'All hail Cillian Murphy. The best actor of his generation. His work on Peaky Blinders was, in turn, bold, epic, intimate, nuanced, and tremendously effective. I hope he is proud of it at least 1/10 of how proud we are. #PeakyBlinders.'
'i thought i'd feel distraught and upset but i actually feel so at peace and content. this was a beautiful episode with such a poetic ending. it definitely feels like the beginning of something, not the end. #peakyblinders.'
'The end of an Era. One of the best tv shows ever #PeakyBlinders.'
'#peakyblinders s6 spoilers arthur being the one to finally get revenge for polly... i am sobbing.'
Tense: Thinking he had been successful, he entered a bar before saying: 'Mum, it's done. It's over. My God, forgive me,' however he couldn't have been more wrong
Amazing: He boomed: 'Speak to me. Speak to me Michael,' while his astonished cousin stared on before replying, 'You killed her'
Bullseye: The World War I veteran then said: 'She'll visit me no more,' before shooting Michael in his eye
'What an absolute masterpiece of an ending omg #PeakyBlinders.'
'this scene shattered me, i love them so much #PeakyBlinders.'
'Without these two Peaky blinders would be nothing. Tonight's scene between Arthur and Tommy was absolutely perfect, that was the real farewell, with Johns picture on the wall too. A fine bit of acting #PeakyBlinders.'
'THIS WAS SO F*****G GOOD I'M LITERALLY SHAKINGGGGG AAAAAAAAA THAT SCENE WITH ARTHUR I CRIEDDDDD !!!! #PeakyBlinders #PeakyBlindersS6.'
'Peaky Blinders [clapping emojis] what a finale. Surely can't leave it at that?! Brilliant.'
'My face watching the end of peaky blinders I was not f*****g expecting that #PeakyBlinders.'
Cillian recently revealed the impact of co-star and friend Helen's death on the show's final series.
The actor spoke to Variety about the upcoming series of the show and how it will be 'in tribute' to the late actress, who passed away from breast cancer last year.
Cillian explained her absence in the show will play a big part of the story of his character, Thomas Shelby.
Enthusiastic: Fans, who were left 'literally shaking' by the installment, rushed to Twitter to laud Cillian for his acting skills while begging for future episodes
He said: 'I think the whole series is really in tribute to her and to honor her. Her presence and her character's presence are very much still felt in the series, and it is very much part of Tommy's journey in the season.
'It'll be different without her, you know. It simply won't be the same. I've spoken about how phenomenal she was as an actress and as a person and it is an enormous loss to the whole acting community and not just for our show.
'My thoughts are always with Damian [Lewis] and her kids. I just hope that the show will live up to her memory and our memory of her.'
Helen did not film any scenes as her iconic character Aunt Polly in the sixth and final series of Peaky Blinders following her cancer diagnosis.
Tragic: Cillian recently revealed the impact of co-star and friend Helen's death on the show's final series (pictured in 2014)
The BAFTA Cymru award winner did not get the chance to appear in any scenes and creators of the BBC drama had to rewrite 'vast sections' of the show.
Filming for the last series was brought to a standstill in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and resumed in January 2021.
Helen swore friends to secrecy as she faced gruelling breast cancer treatment.
She passed away in April last year and had appeared on TV to promote the Prince's Trust only six weeks before her death, and shared her secret struggle with 'very, very few people'.
A spokeswoman told The Sun: 'Helen did not film with us in series six but Polly is an ever-present part of the show.
'She is forever the matriarch of the Shelby family and her presence is always felt by Tommy and the rest of the family. Her influence is an integral part of the season.'
According to reports, Aunt Polly was set to have a larger role in the new series, before she had to be rewritten out of the script.
Helen played Polly Gray since series one which aired in 2013 and became a household name thanks to the part and her role in Harry Potter.
Her final TV role was in the autumn of 2020, portraying Prime Minister Dawn Ellison opposite Hugh Laurie in the BBC political drama Roadkill.
Awful: He said: 'Even with Helen McCrory, the impact she had on Peaky Blinders. I never got to meet with her unfortunately, never even got to dance with her' (pictured in-character)
There hasn't been a more ambiguous conclusion since the end of The Sopranos: CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews the final act of Peaky Blinders as BBC viewers bid farewell to the hit gangster drama
By Christopher Stevens for the Daily Mail
Not a bullet, not a bomb, not a knife can kill Tommy Shelby...just as Aunt Polly always predicted.
Tommy himself (Cillian Murphy) couldn't do it at the climax of Peaky Blinders (BBC1).
Loading his gun with a bullet that bore his own name carved into it, he raised the muzzle to his head – and had a sudden vision of his dead daughter Ruby.
Long story short, Ruby told him he wasn't dying from a brain tumour after all, and suicide was unnecessary.
His fatal diagnosis was a lie fed to him by the Fascist leader Oswald Mosley.
The finale of Peaky Blinders (BBC1) was as ambiguous as the famous cut-to-black ending of The Sopranos
She even, helpfully, pointed him to a newspaper that exposed the whole deception.
Except, of course, it didn't.
The charred news cutting, with a photo of the doctor with Mosley (Sam Claflin) and his duplicitous, over-sexed wife Diana (Amber Anderson), didn't explain why Tommy has been suffering hallucinations and violent epileptic fits.
And even in a drama as soaked in the supernatural as this, isn't it a tiny bit too convenient to have the hero saved by a vision from beyond the grave?
There is another, darker way to read that enigmatic final scene.
Tommy stands in the doorway of his gypsy caravan, surrounded by photos of everyone he has lost – not just Polly and Ruby, but his wife Grace and brother John too.
There is another, darker way to read that enigmatic final scene
He raises the gun, his dead child materialises.
In the final moments, we saw the caravan ablaze (an echo of the traditional Romany funeral) and Tommy, framed by the flames, riding away on a white horse.
In a story so rich with enigmas and double meanings, it seems very plausible that Tommy is indeed dead by his own hand.
The brief interlude with the newspaper and the doctor was a hallucination, and that was his departing spirit we glimpsed on horseback.
There hasn't been a more ambiguous conclusion to a TV serial since the screen went black at the end of The Sopranos.
The decisive answer might come when the long-promised Peaky Blinders movie is made.
The decisive answer might come when the long-promised Peaky Blinders movie is made
Perhaps it will bring the continuing adventures of T. Shelby, in which case he definitely won't be dead.
Or perhaps it will centre on his youngest brother Finn (Harry Kirton) and Duke Shelby (Conrad Khan), Tommy's illegitimate son, who has his father's psychopathic streak as well as his cut-glass looks.
Duke kicked Finn out of the clan, after shooting the treacherous and cowardly Billy (Emmett J Scanlan) between the eyes. Poor Billy had it coming: he's been one nervous squeak away from death in every scene he's ever featured in, since the first series.
The feud between Finn and Duke could supply the next chapter. Only creator Steven Knight knows. The rest of us, as usual, are left guessing by Peaky Blinders.
Neither was there any satisfactory answer to the riddle of that name.
The show has heavily implied that it referred to the gang's penchant for sewing razor blades into the brims of their cloth caps. Swung in the fist, the cap became a slashing weapon.
The haircuts will be missed and so will the stylised art deco sets, the outrageous games with history (did Diana Mosley really proposition MPs for sex on the benches of the House of Commons?) and the shamelessly sentimental dialogue
A documentary last month about the Birmingham mobsters who inspired the series pointed out how unlikely this was. Safety razors had not been invented, and cut-throat razors were the wrong shape.
More likely, one historian suggested, that the thugs got their nickname by wearing their hats pulled low over one eye.
In fact, the mystery is solved by a 1929 court report in the Daily Mail archives.
This states the hoodlums wore caps with heavy iron plates in the brims – and used them to blind their victims with head-butts.
The Mail's reporter noted that the gang's notoriety was so fearsome that Birmingham was known as 'the City of Dreadful Night'.
That name was apt for the Wild West shoot-out between Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) and the IRA, outside the Garrison pub.
It began as a gunfight and ended like a World War I battlefield, with machine guns and mustard gas.
In a story so rich with enigmas and double meanings, it seems very plausible that Tommy is indeed dead by his own hand
Arthur was winged, hit in the arm, but his luxuriant banner of hair was fortunately untouched. If any harm had come to that, the barbers of Britain would be plunged into mourning.
No one sported a short-back-and-sides better than Arthur. His hair has inspired a million young men and women too, all adopting extravagant topknots on shaven skulls. A haircut that signified conformity and the lingering influence of National Service, half a century ago, has become high fashion... entirely because of Peaky Blinders.
Arthur's soup-strainer moustache never did catch on, chiefly because it made him look like his mouth was under attack from a drug-crazed hairbrush.
The haircuts will be missed and so will the stylised art deco sets, the outrageous games with history (did Diana Mosley really proposition MPs for sex on the benches of the House of Commons?) and the shamelessly sentimental dialogue.
'To family,' said Tommy, raising a glass to the surviving Shelbys. 'Sometimes it is shelter from the storm, sometimes it is the storm itself.'

The Metis Nation of Alberta says the arrival of 20 wood bison at a site northeast of Edmonton was a historic moment.
The bison, which came from Elk Island National Park last month, are part of an education and experience program led by the Metis Nation in partnership with the park.
President Audrey Poitras says in a news release that bison are native to the Metis Crossing area, but were driven to near-extinction by settlers in the 19th century and ended Metis bison hunts.
She says the return of bison marks a milestone in reconciliation.
The bison will be released into the Metis Crossing Wildlife Park, which is a cultural interpretive destination, once they are acclimatized to the area.
They will join an existing herd of 48 animals already on site.

Red Cross says its team is being held close to Mariupol in Ukraine
Article content
GENEVA — A team from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was stopped during an attempt to reach Mariupol, Ukraine, to evacuate civilians and is now being held nearby in Manhush, a spokesperson told Reuters on Monday.
The team was being “held in the town of Manhush, 20 kilometers (12 miles) west of Mariupol,” ICRC spokesperson Jason Straziuso told Reuters.
Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said the Red Cross team was being held by “the occupation authorities.”

Straziuso declined to give details of who was holding the team, saying only that they had been detained by police. “It’s not a hostage situation,” he added, saying the ICRC was talking with all parties to clarify the situation and seek their release.
The Red Cross team had been aiming to reach the besieged city of Mariupol on Monday and evacuate some of the remaining residents who are lacking basic supplies. It was their fourth such attempt since Friday.
The organization withdrew its team, which included staff members with young children, from the port city in mid-March after they ran out of aid. (Reporting by Emma Farge, Editing by William Maclean and Rosalba O’Brien)

CAMANO ISLAND, Wash. (AP) – Officials are responding to a dead gray whale found beached on the west side of Camano Island.
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Fisheries West Coast Region posted about the massive stranded mammal, saying a necropsy would be performed.
The whale will be left on-site for “land-based natural decomposition” so nutrients return to the ecosystem.
Since 2019, gray whales along the West Coast and Alaska have been experiencing an “unusual mortality event.”
Since then, more of the animals have been getting stranded and dying.
That includes one 43-foot-long gray whale that washed ashore near Harborview Park in Everett three years ago.

Dave Lombardo Recalls ‘Excitement’ of Last-Minute Metallica SOS
Former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo recalled the “excitement” of being asked to stand in for Metallica’s Lars Ulrich at the U.K.’s Download Festival in 2004.
Slayer had already delivered their performance at the event when Lombardo was told that Ulrich couldn’t appear after falling ill on the flight to Britain. He agreed to help out, with Slipknot’s Joey Jordison and Ulrich's tech Flemming Larsen taking part, too.
“It was a bit of a shock,” Lombardo told Classic Rock in a recent interview. “My first thought was, 'Is Lars OK?' But they said, ‘He’s OK, he’s at the doctor's, he’s just having a bit of a moment.’ So I said I’d do whatever I could to help.”
He found himself in a rehearsal room with James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo. “I knew a few of their songs well enough to play them, but I just didn’t know all the detail of some of the other songs,” he explained. “So we agreed that I’d do the first two, ‘Battery’ and ‘The Four Horsemen,’ then Joey would jump in, ’cos he’d been in a Metallica covers band and he knew all those songs inside out.”
Watch Metallica’s 2004 Show Without Lars Ulrich
Asked what was going through his mind five minutes before going onstage, he replied: “Excitement. I love challenges: ‘All right, let’s do it, we’ll work it out and make it happen.’ I was thrilled to be up there with those guys, but it was surreal seeing James and Kirk and Rob in front of me. Like, ‘Is this really happening?’ But I couldn’t question the moment, ’cos there was something more important at stake, which was to help Lars and the band deliver these songs, and deliver a show for the fans.”
Lombardo agreed that the experience changed his perspective of Metallica’s work. “Especially with the live show,” he said. “They were headlining, so the energy there was just intense. I definitely had to retain my composure and think, ‘This is going to be great, stay positive, let’s rock.’ After it was all done, we all took a bow at the very end. They were really grateful – they appreciated the help.
“For them to even ask me was an honor, and I’m very proud to have helped them out when they needed it, and just been a small part of their history. Come on, I got to play with Metallica!”

ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — A Lenawee County sheriff’s deputy has shot and wounded a man suspected of firing a gun at a home in Adrian.
The man was shot at about 1:15 a.m. Sunday after the deputy found him hiding in a vacant lot, according to authorities.
The man was listed in critical condition at a hospital.
Adrian police requested help from the sheriff’s office in finding the man, the sheriff’s office said in a release.
The deputy, a 31-year sheriff’s veteran, was not injured and has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the state police.

45 Years Ago: Sex Pistols Sign Doomed Weeklong Record Deal
Apple mastermind Steve Jobs was said to generate a “reality distortion field” around himself, such that employees found themselves believing whatever he said – no matter how ridiculous it seemed afterward. The same could be said of Sex Pistols impresario Malcolm McLaren, which is why the full facts of Sex Pistols’ week-long contract with A&M Records will probably never be known.
The band signed the deal on March 9, 1977, and it was terminated on March 16, during which time they were given an advance then paid a severance settlement. Quoted figures vary but the total seems to have been around £125,000, which would be around £835,000 today – suggesting the Sex Pistols made around $160,000 a day out of the arrangement.
The roots of the controversy grew out of a previous one. On Jan. 6, Johnny Rotten and his colleagues had been dismissed by EMI in the aftermath of negative publicity surrounding their TV appearance with Reg Grundy and a later report of trouble on an airplane. In announcing the termination, the label sounded as if it had just had enough.
EMI noted that recent media reports on the Sex Pistols’ bad behavior – probably placed by McLaren – “appear to have been exaggerated,” but said label representatives were “unable to promote this group’s records internationally in view of the adverse publicity which has been generated over the last two months.”
McLaren later said he began negotiations with A&M on Jan. 5, noting that chief executive Derek Green believed the eight demos he’d heard were going to sell. A hint of trouble had already been introduced, however, before the deal was done in a London location away from the label’s office.
“I wanted to delay any clash between them and my staff as long as possible,” Green later admitted. “It came as quite a shock, when the signing took place, that Glen Matlock wasn't in the band. It had been Matlock's name all the way through negotiations, and then on the day there was Sid Vicious – an unknown quantity.”
Vicious would soon become the epitome of polite society’s horror over punk rock. But Rotten (whose real name is John Lydon) remained capable of causing trouble himself, as he illustrated by reportedly getting arrested for drug possession hours after signing to A&M. He was out on bail in time to take part in the famous publicity stunt of March 10, when the Sex Pistols signed a fake contract before Buckingham Palace, the residency of the British monarch.
Watch Sex Pistols Perform 'EMI'
McLaren had set his sights on hijacking celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s 25th anniversary later in the year, and A&M pressed 25,000 copies of the Sex Pistols track “God Save the Queen” in anticipation. McLaren then persuaded newspapers to report that the signing had been shut down by cops.
“This is a long-term contract for the exclusive services of the group on a worldwide basis,” label exec Tony Burfield said outside the palace. “They are providing musical tastes for the generation of today.”
Green added: “We are very pleased to have signed the group. Quite honestly, I don’t think they have done anything more outrageous that most other rock musicians have done in the past.” Perhaps prophetically, he noted: “But one thing is certain: We're not on a crash course for signing punk rock bands.”
That afternoon, A&M office staff finally met the band, and it didn’t go well. Once again reports vary, but include Rotten trying to loudly insult everyone he met and threatening to kill an exec’s friend; Steve Jones having sex with a fan in a toilet; and Vicious smashing a (presumable different) toilet, a window and bleeding everywhere as a result of his wounds. Just a day into the contract, it was doomed.
“I was in the office the day they walked in,” A&M co-founder and jazz musician Herb Alpert told Goldmine in 1980. “I’m not crazy about music that preys on the weaknesses of society. I like music that uplifts people. They were on A&M for a week … and it was longer than they deserved to stay.
“The Pistols were too demanding, too crazy, too drugged out, and as far as I’m concerned, just nonsense,” Albert added. “The Pistols were very rude to our London staff and there was a scene in our offices there. We had some money invested in them but [A&M co-founder] Jerry [Moss] and I agreed, ‘Let’s get them the fuck off. Who needs that?’”
Some newspapers took the opportunity to crow over the development as the label said: “A&M Records wishes to announce that its recording agreement with the Sex Pistols has been terminated with immediate effect.” One report claimed the crestfallen Sex Pistols offered nothing but “burps and grunts” as McLaren spoke on their behalf.
Listen to the A&M Version of Sex Pistols 'God Save the Queen'
He said they were “shell-shocked,” because the Sex Pistols hadn’t breached the terms of the deal. In any case, A&M was perfectly aware of what kind of group they were signing. “Of course, the lads celebrated,” McLaren later said of the office party. “Maybe they got a little drunk. A window got busted.”
Then McLaren went for jaw-dropping broke by adding: “Some people made accusations that there were attempts to rape some of the girls there.” Vicious responded: “Someone threw a stone from outside to bust the windows, and we wouldn't have touched the girls with a bargepole.” Lydon observed: “They’ve given us £75,000 compensation, and that can’t be bad.”
Speaking later that year, McLaren told NME that they never achieved “a fantastic rapport with A&M. I would say that a lot of people there probably don't like us. A&M is a very middle-of-the-road company, and I think they probably thought we could change their image.”
He went on to claim in the Daily Mirror that the split was triggered by a physical assault on revered British DJ “Whispering” Bob Harris, a stalwart of the musical establishment. “I was the identikit picture of everything the punk generation despised – a 30-year-old, white, middle-class son of a policeman, the long-haired, bearded, ex-hippy, stadium rock-loving, progressive rock-presenting BBC broadcaster,” Harris argued.
“One night in a club, we were confronted by half a dozen Mohican-cut drunks, faces spitting hatred and clutching broken glass,” Harris added. “Thankfully, I was pulled to safety by some roadies from Procol Harum who had popped in for a quiet drink. I escaped with cuts and bruises, but my friend got badly cut on the head and wrist stopping Sid from glassing him in the face.”
Putting changes instigated by the punk movement into perspective, Harris admitted: “I was getting a lot of abuse and felt my life was spinning out of control. For 11 years, I’d been surfing the crest of a wave but suddenly the music scene in Britain was a hostile environment for me.”
Despite McLaren’s suggestion, however, the Harris assault seems to have taken place after the A&M deal had already been terminated. “The Sex Pistols were the quickest success I ever had, but I changed my mind,” A&M’s Green admitted. “I did not want to be involved in what they did outside their music.”
The label destroyed almost all the copies of “God Save the Queen,” save for around 25 that have been seen put on sale for as much as $12,000. The Sex Pistols went on to sign with Virgin Records in May 1977 for the release of their only album, Never Mind the Bollocks.

To all of the people who’s lives were positively affected by the music of Too Close To Touch. We wish we had a better way to break this news. Our friend & brother Keaton passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, just a short time ago due to a medical condition he had been dealing with privately. We are shaken and saddened and speechless.

He lives on through that feeling you get when you listen to.

Atilla's Chris Fronzak wrote, "God damn there's been so much trauma the past few days.... my friend Keaton Pierce died... Taylor Hawkins died.... kid died in orlando falling out of a ride that's right by my house.... I got accidentally drugged yesterday.... wtf is happening"
Evan Couture wrote, "Today is too hard. [Keaton Pierce] you were a man with an incredible voice but you were so much more than that. I remember hanging in vans and showing each other our demos, it was so clear to me how much you loved music. May you Rest In Peace. Love you brother."
Our hearts go out to Pierce's loved ones and the entire Too Close To Touch family.

MIAMI, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Line said today that the one-week period of March 28-April 3 was its busiest booking week in the company's history, showing a double-digit increase from the previous record 7-day booking total.
With 22 of its 23 ships back in guest operations across all its year-round U.S. homeports, Carnival has led the industry in terms of restart and customer demand. Its final ship, Carnival Splendor, will return to service from Seattle on May 2, and then Carnival will welcome its newest ship, Carnival Celebration, to PortMiami in November. By year-end 2022, Carnival will have more capacity sailing (as measured by ALBDs – available lower berth days) than it was sailing in 2019. And then in 2023, Carnival will put into service another new Excel-class ship, Carnival Jubilee from Galveston.
"The excitement of the industry's restart, our successful return of our entire fleet, the guest reaction to Mardi Gras, our loyal guest response to our 50th birthday this year, the support of our travel advisor partners — and of course, the amazing work of our Carnival team — have all contributed to the strong demand we are seeing, and this record-breaking booking week," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Duffy added that all sales channels, including Carnival.com, travel advisors, the Carnival guest contact center and personal vacation planners all contributed to the record-breaking results. With the restart of cruising in Australia now set, Carnival is finalizing plans for its return in Australia and will be announcing those details soon.

What happened
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) rallied this morning on news that Tesla CEO Elon Musk was taking a 9.2% stake in Twitter. The news was only tangentially related to Dogecoin as Musk has been a big backer of the meme coin on Twitter.
After a pop this morning, which took Dogecoin up 6% in less than an hour, the cryptocurrency faded as there was no tweet or any comment from Musk on Dogecoin, as some might have expected.
As of 1:57 p.m. ET, Dogecoin was down 1.6%, while Twitter had skyrocketed 29.5%.
So what
Musk has not made any comment since the news of his Twitter stake in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, saying only on Twitter, "Oh hi lol."
Oh hi lol
-- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 4, 2022
The investment was an odd move for Musk, who doesn't typically buy shares of other publicly traded companies, though the Tesla chief is a fan of Twitter as he frequently uses the platform to discuss some of Tesla's projects and share observations and jokes. Dogecoin was a favorite talking point of Musk about year ago when the meme coin soared, and at one point he promised to put a "literal Dogecoin on the literal moon."
SpaceX is going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon
-- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 1, 2021
Musk does own Dogecoin, and Dogecoin investors tend to see his backing as one of its biggest potential catalysts as Musk has 80 million followers on Twitter and is considered a visionary business leader as the head of Tesla and a co-founder of PayPal.
Musk hasn't tweeted about Dogecoin since January, when he said he'd eat a Happy Meal on TV if McDonald's accepted Dogecoin, and interest in the cryptocurrency has waned since the boom last spring.
Now what
Dogecoin's spike today as a reminder of how fickle cryptocurrency investing can be, and that it's often little more than rumor that lifts a crypto token on a given day, especially with meme coins like Dogecoin. Given that Musk's investment in Twitter is really unrelated to Dogecoin, it's not surprising that the cryptocurrency gave up those gains after the pop.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has commented on the latest developments in Ukraine during his press conference with the Arab League Contact Group, namely addressing Ukraine's "provocation" in the city of Bucha, where Kiev claims Russian troops killed civilians.

He recalled that Russian troops left Bucha on 30 March and there have been no reports of the dead civilians until recently.Now that the staged video about Bucha is out the Western countries, namely the UK, will try to "dissolve this particular fake […] in demagogic arguments about the nature of the Ukrainian crisis", the minister suggested.The crimes of the Ukrainian armed forces, led by the nationalists, will not be left without consequences, Lavrov added.

Moscow Will Expose Anti-Russia Fakes, Will Hold Ukrainian War Criminals Accountable, Lavrov Says
19:56 GMT 04.04.2022 (Updated: 19:57 GMT 04.04.2022) The Western nations were quick to repeat the accusations of the Ukrainian government claiming that the Russian troops killed civilians in the city of Bucha, promising to take action against Moscow before any probe of the alleged incident could take place. Moscow dismissed the allegations as another provocation by Kiev.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has commented on the latest developments in Ukraine during his press conference with the Arab League Contact Group, namely addressing Ukraine's "provocation" in the city of Bucha, where Kiev claims Russian troops killed civilians. Lavrov promised that Moscow will expose all "fakes" regarding the Russian special operation in Ukraine as it did in the case of the alleged bombing of a maternity hospital in Mariupol.
The minister stressed that there have been several cases already, where brazen fake news emerged in the media, a propaganda campaign was organised, but when the truth came out "nobody wanted to talk about it". He recalled that Russian troops left Bucha on 30 March and there have been no reports of the dead civilians until recently.
"Over the next three days, Bucha's mayor spoke on television there, saying that the city was returning to normal life; the armed forces of Ukraine appeared there, [media] showed the streets where there were no corpses. Well, three days later they apparently decided to shoot staged footage", Lavrov said.
Now that the staged video about Bucha is out the Western countries, namely the UK, will try to "dissolve this particular fake […] in demagogic arguments about the nature of the Ukrainian crisis", the minister suggested.
The crimes of the Ukrainian armed forces, led by the nationalists, will not be left without consequences, Lavrov added. He explained that Moscow works with partners to hold these perpetrators accountable under the standards of international law and with the backing of solid evidence.
Russia Will Convey Its Position on Bucha Despite UK's Opposition in UNSC
Lavrov unveiled that Russia's second
attempt to convey a UN Security Council meeting to discuss Ukraine's provocation in Bucha was unsuccessful. He did not elaborate but recalled that the first attempt, which had been undertaken on 3 April, was shot down by the UK currently presiding over the council.
The top diplomat assured the attendees of the press conference that Moscow will present its case and evidence on the "true nature of events in Bucha", which the West is currently trying to present to the world as war crimes allegedly committed by Russia, to journalists in New York. He explained that the Russian Permanent Envoy to the UN will organise a press conference in the city to present this evidence.
Lavrov Hits Back at Biden Over Bucha Comment
The foreign minister also lashed out at US President Joe Biden, who once again called President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" citing Kiev's accusations of alleged killings in Bucha. Lavrov noted that some of American politicians "have issues" with their conscience.
"First of all, the fact that many American politicians, who stood at the origins of the Iraqi war under well-known pretexts, who ruined Libya together with NATO partners, who invaded Syria - these politicians, they must have issues with their conscience", the diplomat said.
He added that Moscow is mostly interested in how Russian people assess the situation in Ukraine.
On the Course of Russia-Ukraine Negotiations
The Russian Foreign Minister also commented on the progress made in the Russia-Ukraine talks on ending the special operation of the Russian troops, stating that "there is always hope" that an agreement will be reached eventually. According to him, the delegations continue active discussions in the format of the video conferences.
Lavrov noted progress made during the latest in-person meeting of the delegations, saying that Kiev's positions in the negotiations became more "realistic".
"[There were] more realism about the need to secure in the treaty the neutral status of Ukraine, its non-nuclear status […] Undoubtedly, the position of the Ukrainian delegation showed much more realism regarding the status of Crimea and the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics", he said.
The top diplomat noted, however, that it remains to be seen how this "realism" will look like "on paper". Lavrov expressed hope that Ukraine will take into account into own interests and will take less advice from abroad.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Amy Lieberman, The Conversation
(THE CONVERSATION) Russian troops retreated from Kyiv and the nearby town of Bucha in early April 2022, and new horrors of their occupation were revealed.
Ukrainian forces found the bodies of at least 410 civilians – among them people who were killed with their hands and feet tied behind their backs and shot in the head. Reportedly there were bodies of women who had been raped and burned, and bodies of children who were also not spared.
In response, President Joe Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin should face war crimes charges over the reported mass murder. He called Putin “a war criminal,” but stopped short of calling the Bucha massacre genocide.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on April 3, though, that the dead were indeed victims of genocide – “the elimination of the whole nation and the people.”
War crimes and genocide, though sometimes occurring at the same time, are distinct under international law, several scholars have recently explained in The Conversation.
Here are three recent articles that dive into the complex question of what constitutes war crimes – and why Putin is unlikely to face any real, imminent consequences.
1. What are war crimes?
War crimes fall under the vast umbrella of international law, which is based on agreements between countries regarding the conduct of war and peace. International law in this area is rarely easy to enforce.
War crimes generally refer to “excessive destruction, suffering and civilian casualties,” according to human rights and international law scholar Shelley Inglis.
“Rape, torture, forced displacement and other actions may also constitute war crimes,” Inglis writes.
Russia has a long history of committing war crimes, Inglis says – chiefly, direct attacks on civilians during the Syrian war, as well as during conflicts in Georgia and Crimea.
2. Is Putin committing war crimes or genocide in Ukraine?
There’s clear evidence that Russia is committing war crimes by directly attacking and killing civilians, according to human rights and genocide scholar Alexander Hinton.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Russian forces have killed at least 1,417 civilians and injured 2,038, according to United Nations estimates.
There are warning signs that Russia is also carrying out genocide – “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,” Hinton writes.
One predictor for genocide is a history of committing mass human rights violations, which Russia has done. Other signs include political upheaval at home, and the use of propaganda to demonize people and justify a potential genocide. Russia also fits these criteria.
“Has Russia carried out genocidal acts? Russia has targeted and killed civilians and reportedly forcibly deported hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, including children, to Russia. It has bombed a maternity hospital,” Hinton writes.
“There is a significant risk that Russia will commit genocide in Ukraine. It is possible that a genocide has already begun.”
3. Will Putin be punished for committing war crimes?
It’s unlikely that Putin will face imprisonment or be removed from power because of war crimes in Ukraine.
There are three main international legal bodies – the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and special international war tribunals – that are designed to consider international cases of war crimes. These courts have tried and convicted political leaders as war criminals in the past, including Charles Taylor, former president of Liberia.
[You’re smart and curious about the world. So are The Conversation’s authors and editors. You can read us daily by subscribing to our newsletter.]
“But it can be incredibly difficult and time-consuming” to actually hold people accountable through these systems, write political science scholars Joseph Wright and Abel Escribà-Folch.
“None of these three tools is likely to have much, if any, effect on Putin’s choices in Ukraine,” they say.
One important explanation for why a prosecution of Putin might not happen is that the International Court of Justice focuses on the action of states, not individual leaders like Putin.
Another reason is that Russia is not a member of the International Criminal Court and does not respect its jurisdiction over the country. The court also lacks a police force and relies on other countries “to arrest the accused and transfer them to The Hague for trial.”
“If Putin stays in power, that will most likely never happen,” Wright and Escribà-Folch write.
There is, though, some evidence that calling Putin a war criminal or charging him with war crimes could fail to stem attacks on civilians.
“Leaders who face the prospect of punishment once a conflict ends have an incentive to prolong the fighting. And a leader who presides over atrocities has a strong incentive to avoid leaving office, even if that means using increasingly brutal methods – and committing more atrocities – to remain in power,” Wright and Escribà-Folch say.

Today’s best mortgage deal? Look to 20-year rates | April 4, 2022
Our goal here at Credible Operations, Inc., NMLS Number 1681276, referred to as "Credible" below, is to give you the tools and confidence you need to improve your finances. Although we do promote products from our partner lenders, all opinions are our own.
Check out the mortgage rates for April 4, 2022, which are mixed from last Friday. (Credible)
Based on data compiled by Credible, mortgage refinance rates have risen for three terms and remained unchanged for one term since last Friday.
- 30-year fixed-rate refinance: 4.875%, unchanged
- 20-year fixed-rate refinance: 4.875%, up from 4.625%, +0.250
- 15-year fixed-rate refinance: 4.000%, up from 3.875%, +0.125
- 10-year fixed-rate refinance: 3.875%, up from 3.750%, +0.125
Rates last updated on April 4, 2022. These rates are based on the assumptions shown here. Actual rates may vary. With 5,000 reviews, Credible maintains an "excellent" Trustpilot score.
What this means: Refinance rates have been increasing steadily across all terms since the beginning of 2022. But with 30-year refi rates skyrocketing to 5% last week, and currently holding just under 4.9%, shorter-term refinances are likely the better option for homeowners who want to secure interest savings.
Today’s mortgage rates for home purchases
Based on data compiled by Credible, mortgage rates for home purchases have risen for two terms and remained unchanged for two others since last Friday.
- 30-year fixed mortgage rates: 4.875%, up from 4.750%, +0.125
- 20-year fixed mortgage rates: 4.625%, unchanged
- 15-year fixed mortgage rates: 4.000%, up from 3.875%, +0.125
- 10-year fixed mortgage rates: 3.750%, unchanged
Rates last updated on April 4, 2022. These rates are based on the assumptions shown here. Actual rates may vary. Credible, a personal finance marketplace, has 5,000 Trustpilot reviews with an average star rating of 4.7 (out of a possible 5.0).
What this means: Mortgage purchase rates continue to climb, with 30-year rates (the most popular term) rising to 4.875% today. Buyers may find the best combination of interest savings and affordability with 20-year rates, which held steady since Friday and are a full quarter-point lower than 30-year rates. Homebuyers who can manage a larger monthly mortgage payment will find greater interest savings with a shorter repayment term.
To find great mortgage rates, start by using Credible’s secured website, which can show you current mortgage rates from multiple lenders without affecting your credit score. You can also use Credible’s mortgage calculator to estimate your monthly mortgage payments.
How mortgage rates have changed over time
Today’s mortgage interest rates are well below the highest annual average rate recorded by Freddie Mac — 16.63% in 1981. A year before the COVID-19 pandemic upended economies across the world, the average interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage for 2019 was 3.94%. The average rate for 2021 was 2.96%, the lowest annual average in 30 years.
The historic drop in interest rates means homeowners who have mortgages from 2019 and older could potentially realize significant interest savings by refinancing with one of today’s lower interest rates. When considering a mortgage or refinance, it’s important to take into account closing costs such as appraisal, application, origination and attorney’s fees. These factors, in addition to the interest rate and loan amount, all contribute to the cost of a mortgage.
Are you looking to buy a home? Credible can help you compare current rates from multiple mortgage lenders at once in just a few minutes. Use Credible’s online tools to compare rates and get prequalified today.
Thousands of Trustpilot reviewers rate Credible "excellent."
How Credible mortgage rates are calculated
Changing economic conditions, central bank policy decisions, investor sentiment and other factors influence the movement of mortgage rates. Credible average mortgage rates and mortgage refinance rates reported in this article are calculated based on information provided by partner lenders who pay compensation to Credible.
The rates assume a borrower has a 740 credit score and is borrowing a conventional loan for a single-family home that will be their primary residence. The rates also assume no (or very low) discount points and a down payment of 20%.
Credible mortgage rates reported here will only give you an idea of current average rates. The rate you actually receive can vary based on a number of factors.
What is a good mortgage rate?
Generally, a good mortgage rate is one that’s the lowest you can qualify for based on your individual factors, such as credit history, income, other debts, down payment amount and more.
A rate that’s good for your financial situation should result in a monthly mortgage payment that you can manage while leaving plenty of room in your monthly budget to put toward savings, investments and an emergency fund. And a good rate should be competitive with average rates in the geographic area where you’re looking to buy.
If you’re trying to find the right mortgage rate, consider using Credible. You can use Credible's free online tool to easily compare multiple lenders and see prequalified rates in just a few minutes.

SAN FRANCISCO — As Benito Luna-Herrera teaches his 7th grade social studies classes, he is on alert for signs of inner turmoil. And there is so much of it these days.
One of his 12-year-old students felt her world was falling apart. Distance learning had upended her friendships. Things with her boyfriend were verging on violent. Her home life was stressful. “I’m just done with it,” the girl told Luna-Herrera during the pandemic, and shared a detailed plan to kill herself.
Another student was typically a big jokester and full of confidence. But one day she told him she didn’t want to live anymore. She, too, had a plan in place to end her life.
Luna-Herrera is just one teacher, in one Southern California middle school, but stories of students in distress are increasingly common around the country. The silver lining is that special training helped him know what to look for and how to respond when he saw the signs of a mental emergency.
Since the pandemic started, experts have warned of a mental health crisis facing American children. That is now playing out at schools in the form of increased childhood depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, fights and thoughts of suicide at alarming levels, according to interviews with teachers, administrators, education officials and mental health experts.
In low-income areas, where adverse childhood experiences were high before the pandemic, the crisis is even more acute and compounded by a shortage of school staff and mental health professionals.
Luna-Herrera, who teaches in a high poverty area of the Mojave Desert, is among a small but growing number of California teachers to take a course called Youth Mental Health First Aid. It teaches adults how to spot warning signs of mental health risks and substance abuse in children, and how to prevent a tragedy.
The California Department of Education funds the program for any school district requesting it, and the pandemic has accelerated moves to make such courses a requirement. The training program is operated by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and available in every state.
“I don’t want to read about another teenager where there were warning signs and we looked the other way,” said Sen. Anthony Portantino, author of a bill that would require all California middle and high schools to train at least 75% of employees in behavioral health. “Teachers and school staff are on the front lines of a crisis, and need to be trained to spot students who are suffering.”
Experts say while childhood depression and anxiety had been on the rise for years, the pandemic's unrelenting stress and grief amplified the problems, particularly for those already experiencing mental health issues who were cut off from counselors and other school resources during distance learning.
For children, the issues with distance learning were not just academic, said Sharon Hoover, professor of child psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and co-director of the National Center for School Mental Health.
Child abuse and and neglect increased during the pandemic, according to Hoover. For children in troubled homes, with alcoholic or abusive parents, distance learning meant they had no escape. Those who lacked technology or had spotty internet connections were isolated even more than their peers and fell further behind academically and socially.
Many children bounced back after the extended isolation, but for others it will take longer, and mental health problems often lag a stressor.
“We can’t assume that ‘OK we’re back in school, it’s been a few months and now everyone should be back to normal.’ That is not the case,” said Hoover.
Returning to school after months of isolation intensified the anxiety for some children. Teachers say students have greater difficulty focusing, concentrating, sitting still and many need to relearn how to socialize and resolve conflicts face-to-face after prolonged immersion in screens.
Kids expected to pick up where they left off but some found friendships, and their ability to cope with social stress, had changed. Educators say they also see a concerning increase in apathy — about grades, how students treat each other and themselves — and a lot less empathy.
“I have never seen kids be so mean to each other in my life,” said Terrin Musbach, who trains teachers in mental health awareness and other social-emotional programs at the Del Norte Unified School District, a high-poverty district in rural Northern California. “There’s more school violence, there’s more vaping, there’s more substance abuse, there’s more sexual activity, there’s more suicide ideation, there’s more of every single behavior that we would be worried about in kids.”
Many states have mandated teacher training on suicide prevention over the last decade and the pandemic prompted some to broaden the scope to include mental health awareness and supporting behavioral health needs.
But school districts nationwide also say they need more psychologists and counselors. The Hopeful Futures Campaign, a coalition of national mental health organizations, last month published a report that found most states are struggling with mental health support in schools. Only Idaho and the District of Columbia exceed the nationally recommended ratio of one psychologist per 500 students.
In some states, including West Virginia, Missouri, Texas and Georgia, there is only one school psychologist for over 4,000 students, the report says. Similarly, few states meet the goal of one counselor per 250 students.
President Joe Biden has proposed $1 billion in new federal funding to help schools hire more counselors and psychologists and bolster suicide prevention programs. That followed a rare pubic advisory in December from U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on “the urgent need to address the nation's youth mental health crisis."
In early 2021, emergency room visits in the U.S. for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher for adolescent girls and 4% higher for adolescent boys compared to the same period in 2019, according to research cited in the advisory.
Since California began offering the Youth Mental Health First Aid course in 2014, more than 8,000 teachers, administrators and school staff have been trained, said Monica Nepomuceno, who oversees mental health programming at the California Department of Education.
She said much more needs to be done in the country’s largest state, which employs over 600,000 K-12 staff at schools.
The course helps distinguish typical adolescent ways of dealing with stress — slamming doors, crying, bursts of anger — from warning signs of mental distress, which can be blatant or subtle.
Red flags include when a child talks about dying or suicide, but can be more nuanced like: “I can’t do this anymore,” or “I’m tired of this,” said Tramaine El-Amin, a spokesperson for the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. More than 550,000 K-12 educators across the country have taken the Youth Mental Health First Aid course since it launched in 2012, she said.
Changes in behavior could be cause for concern — a child who stops a sport or activity they were passionate about without replacing it with another one; a typically put together child who starts to look regularly unkempt; a student whose grades plummet or who stops handing in homework; a child who eats lunch alone and has stopped palling around with their friends.
After noticing something might be wrong, the course teaches the next step is to ask the student without pressuring or casting judgment and letting them know you care and want to help.
“Sometimes an adult can ask a question that causes more harm than good,” said Luna-Herrera, the social studies teacher at California City Middle School, a two-hour drive into the desert from Los Angeles.
He took the course in spring 2021 and two weeks later put it to use. It was during distance learning and a student had failed to show up for online tutoring but he spotted her chatting online on the school’s distance learning platform, having a heated dispute with her then-boyfriend. Luna reached out to her privately.
“I asked her if she was OK,” he said. Little by little, the girl told Luna-Herrera about problems with friends and her boyfriend and problems at home that left her feeling alone and desperately unanchored.
The course tells adults to ask open-ended questions that keep the conversation going, and not to project themselves into an adolescent’s problems with comments like: “You’ll be fine; It’s not that bad; I went through that; Try to ignore it.” What might seem trivial to an adult can feel overwhelming for a young person, and failure to recognize that can be a conversation stopper.
The 12-year old told Luna-Herrera she had considered hurting herself. “Is that a recurring thought?” he asked, recalling how his heart started racing as she revealed her suicide plan.
Like CPR first-aid training, the course teaches how to handle a crisis: Raise the alarm and get expert help. Do not leave a person contemplating suicide alone. As Luna-Herrera continued talking to the girl, he texted his school superintendent, who got the principal on the line, they called 911 and police rushed to the home, where they spoke to the girl and her mother, who was startled and unaware.
“He absolutely saved that child’s life,” said Mojave Unified Superintendent Katherine Aguirre, who oversees the district of about 3,000 students, the majority of whom are Latino and Black children from economically disadvantaged families.
Aguirre recognized the need for behavioral heath training early in the pandemic and through the Department of Education trained all of her employees, from teachers to yard supervisors and cafeteria workers.
“It's about awareness. And that Sandy Hook promise: If you see something, say something," she said.
That did not happen with 14-year-old Taya Bruell.
Taya was a bright, precocious student who had started struggling with mental health issues at about 11, according to her father, Harry Bruell. At the time, the family lived in Boulder, Colorado where Taya was hospitalized at one point for psychiatric care but kept up the trappings of a model student: She got straight As, was co-leader of her high school writing club and in her spare time taught senior citizens to use computers.
For a literature class, Taya was assigned to keep a journal. In it, she drew a disturbing portrait that showed self-harm and wrote about how much she hated her body and was hearing voices she wanted to silence.
Her teacher read the assignment and wrote: “Taya, very thorough journal. I loved reading the entries. A+”
Three months later in February 2016, Taya killed herself. After her death, Taya’s parents discovered the journal in her room and brought it to the school, where they learned Taya’s teacher had not informed the school counselor or administrators of what she had seen. They don’t blame the teacher but will always wonder what if she had not ignored the signs of danger.
“I don’t think the teacher wanted to hurt our daughter. I think she had no idea what to do when she read those stark warning signs in Taya’s journal,” said her father, who has since relocated with the family to Santa Barbara, California.
He believes legislation to require teacher training in behavioral health will save lives. “It teaches you to raise the alarm, and not just walk away, which is what happened to Taya.”
If you or someone you know may be struggling with suicidal thoughts you can call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) any time of day or night or chat online.

A new update accompanied by an email from Google reveals that its Play Protect program will now automatically remove unused permissions from Android applications that you haven’t used in a while. Until now, you’d have to manually visit each app and its permissions to toggle off the camera, microphone, storage, contacts, and phone that the developer could access on your device so that you would have the full experience they intended.
This new automation now works on Android 10 and below. It previously only worked on Android 11, but it’s expanding its availability to protect older devices, which is a welcome change! Not only can you manually choose apps that retain their permission access and are not automatically purged by Play Protect, but you can also get notified when a reset occurs.
Additionally, developers can mark their app as protected from, well, Play Protect. Any dev who does this will be excluded from the auto permission reset feature, and even if you don’t access it for a long time, the permissions you gave it upon installation will remain active. Some apps require constant access to things as their primary function is to run in the background instead of being opened and browsed, so it’s good that this is an option, but I just hope it’s not abused.
If you would like to check for yourself which apps and games have which permissions activated, and perhaps even to clean them up as not all of them may be required or necessary, you can open the Google Play Store and tap your profile image at the top right. Then, tap “Play Protect” and then touch the “Removing permissions for unused apps” section.

Longtime DC news anchor Bruce Johnson dies at 71
Bruce Johnson, a longtime Washington, D.C. news anchor, died at the age of 71 on Sunday, confirmed by his wife on her Facebook page.
For more than four decades, Johnson anchored the news at the CBS affiliate WUSA9. He retired in December 2020 after taking a short hiatus in 2018 when he announced he had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He died of heart failure, according to WUSA9.
“Bruce Johnson was a giant of DC journalism, a father, grandfather, husband, & proud author,” Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) tweeted Sunday night. “Like many Washingtonians, he’s been a part of my life since I was a little girl, delivering the news and giving voice to DC residents. I’m heartbroken. Rest in Heaven.”
Johnson covered D.C. politics, earning two shows with his namesake at the network, and received 22 Emmy Awards for his broadcasts. He also wrote two books about former D.C. Mayor Marion Berry and D.C. drug trafficker Rayful Edmond.
He is survived by his wife, Lori Smith-Johnson, his three children and three grandchildren.

DURBAN (AFP) - South African spinners Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer sent Bangladesh crashing to a 220-run defeat on the fifth day of the first Test at Kingsmead on Monday.
Maharaj took seven for 32 and Harmer three for 21 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 53, their lowest total against South Africa.
Resuming at 11 for three, Bangladesh lost their remaining seven wickets for 42 runs in less than an hour.
The experienced Mushfiqur Rahim was dismissed in the first over of the day, leg before wicket to Maharaj when he played down the wrong line of a ball which hurried through straight.
Liton Das fell to a soft shot in Maharaj s next over, flicking a simple catch to Harmer at wide mid-on, and Maharaj made it three wickets in three overs when he bowled Yasir Ali with a ball which spun past the edge of Yasir s defensive push.
The rest of the batting crumbled with only Najmul Hossain putting up any significant resistance, scoring 26 off 52 balls.
The two spinners bowled unchanged through the innings. They shared the new ball in fading light on Sunday evening and captain Dean Elgar continued with the pair on Monday.
Brief scores:
South Africa 367 and 204
Bangladesh 298 and 53 (K. Maharaj 7-32, S. Harmer 3-21)
Result: South Africa won by 220 runs
Series: South Africa lead the two-match series 1-0

Skillibeng’s tour of the United Kingdom has gained much traction on social media, with videos circulating of the artiste’s sold-out 2500-seater London O2 Forum to a crowd raving at all his hit singles.
However, his interview with famed personality Tim Westwood on TimWestwood TV has got people talking even more. Having received much criticism for his latest projects, Skillibeng has explained the reason for his shift in delivery and highlighted a need for a wider audience outside of Jamaica and the diaspora as his main motivation.
“I slowed it down a bit because I am very lyrical but it doesn’t always work on an international scene,” he stated passionately. “I slow it down for them so they could really understand what I am saying.”
“When it comes on to the business, I had to slow down a bit, not just the music but even myself and think about how am I going to relate to it.”
Skillibeng’s most recent singles, “Sloppy“, “Gag”, “Coke“, and the much talked about “Whap Whap“, all share a contrasting difference to his earlier hits, such as “Crocodile Teeth“, “50 Bag” or even “Brik Pon Brik”. Despite being frowned upon immediately after their release, his recent singles have seemingly struck a liking with his fanbase and continue to rack up streams and radio plays.
While talking to Westwood, Skillibeng also mentioned the importance of sounding different in the industry and having his own unique style of approaching music.
“I try to be different and I try to build a whole new wave with my voice because I could do that and I’ve always heard that difference in my voice as an artiste.”
He was also very honest about his reception of criticism from fans and critics earlier on in his career and how it had affected him mentally. Skill highlighted that one of the major criticisms about him was his lack of stage presence while performing, but his response was always to let people know that it was his music that came first.
“That was one of the things I always told them, you’re not gonna see a Beenie Man, a Bounty Killer or a Sean Paul when I am performing, you’re gonna see Skillibeng,” Skilli said.
He admitted that this was predominantly the reason for his short break in doing performances for a while, as he wanted to improve his craft and increase his music catalogue in order to be ready for future events where his stage performances would be less criticized.
The live performance on Saturday was only just one of three shows Skillibeng had scheduled for his time in London. The other two were also sold out for the Jamaican artiste.
Skillibeng is expected to release his album in June of this year.

British father and son, nine, killed in landslide on Australian holiday
The boy and his 49-year-old father died at the scene, at Wentworth Pass in the Blue Mountains.
A British father and son have died after five members of the same family were caught up in a landslide while on holiday in Australia.
The nine-year-old boy and his 49-year-old father died at the scene, at Wentworth Pass in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, New South Wales police said.
A 50-year-old woman and a 14-year-old boy were taken to hospital in critical conditions with significant head and abdominal injuries following the incident on the walking track, which was reported to emergency services at around 1.40pm local time on Monday.
A fifth member of the same family, a 15-year-old girl, was treated for shock.
Police said the quintet are British nationals who were holidaying in Australia.
Acting Superintendent John Nelson said: “Unfortunately there’s been a land slip while they’ve been bushwalking.
“It’s quite a tragic scene.”
He described the 15-year-old girl as “extremely distressed”.
Stewart Clarke, from NSW Ambulance, said the incident happened in an “extremely dangerous, extremely unstable environment”.
He described the situation as “heart-breaking”.
A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) spokesperson said: “We are providing consular support to the family of a British couple and their children following an incident in Australia.
“We are in contact with the local authorities.”

BERLIN (AP) — Negotiations between scientists and governments over a key United Nations climate report were going down to the wire Sunday, as officials from major emerging economies insisted that it should recognize their right to development.
The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.-backed science body, is meant to show the paths by which the world can stay within the temperature limits agreed in the 2015 Paris accord.
The agreement aims to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) this century. But with temperatures already more than 1.1C higher than the pre-industrial baseline, many experts say that's only possible with drastic cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.
The closed-doors meeting was meant to wrap up Friday so that the report could be presented to the public on Monday.
But several observers, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the proceedings, told The Associated Press that the talks were still far from finished with less than 24 hours to go before the publication deadline.
One senior climate scientist said about 70% of the text had so far been agreed and there was still hope the negotiations might finish Sunday.
India has emerged as a key voice pushing for recognition in the report that developing countries have contributed a far smaller share of the carbon dioxide emissions already in the atmosphere than industrialized nations and should therefore not need to make the same steep cuts. India, which remains heavily dependent on coal, also wants poor countries to receive significantly more financial support to cope with climate change and make the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Others, such as oil exporter Saudi Arabia, argue that fossil fuels will still be needed for decades to come and phasing them out too quickly could hurt the world's poorest.
The text being negotiated is a summary for policymakers that will serve as the basis for government talks at international climate meetings such as the upcoming U.N. summit in Egypt this fall. The underlying science report outlining the world's progress in cutting emissions is not subject to negotiation, but it cannot be published until the summary is agreed.
A previous instalment last year warned that there is no doubt the rapid climate change seen in recent decades is caused by humans and some effects of global warming are already inevitable. Last month, the science panel outlined how further temperature increases will multiply the risk of floods, storms, drought and heat waves worldwide.

Outer Banks will soon open 2nd bridge to skirt flooded route
RODANTHE, N.C. (AP) — A bridge that will allow locals and tourists to avoid a perennially washed-out route on North Carolina’s Outer Banks is set to open to traffic this month. The News & Observer reports that people will be able to walk, bike and run across the 2.4-mile Rodanthe Bridge on Saturday ahead of its opening. The $154 million bridge will bypass the south end of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and part of the highway that’s often washed over by the ocean during storms. Construction on the project began in 2018. The structure is known as the “jug handle bridge” because of how it sticks out over Pamlico Sound.
