A Chicago man faces a minimum of 45 years in prison after pleading guilty to a 2020 road rage murder in Waukegan, Lake County prosecutors said Thursday.
Sheldon L. Brown pleaded guilty March 25 to the first-degree murder of Dwayne Young, who was shot to death on Oct. 9, 2020, after his car was involved in a minor traffic accident with Brown’s vehicle.
The accident happened at about 11:50 p.m. near the intersection of 8th and Jackson in Waukegan. Police said Brown exited his maroon sedan armed with a handgun, and that he fired at Young, who was seated in his vehicle, a white SUV.
Young, who was not armed, was struck once by a bullet and died a short time later at a hospital. The Beach Park resident was 38 years old and a father of five, authorities said.
Witnesses identified Brown, and he was taken into custody the day after the shooting. He later confessed in an interview with Waukegan police, authorities said.
“This offender, in a fit of road rage, decided to kill Mr. Young,” State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said in a statement. “While the family cannot be made whole — they have suffered immeasurably — they are glad Brown will face the consequences of his actions.”
The discussions that resulted in Brown’s decision to plead guilty did not include a negotiated sentence, so Judge George Strickland will decide what it will be.
Under a state law, if a person pleads guilty to committing a first-degree murder with a gun, they face a minimum sentence of 45 years in prison and a maximum sentence of natural life imprisonment.
The sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 28. Brown has been held in the Lake County jail in lieu of $3 million bail since his arrest.

First stage of evacuations along safe corridors in Ukraine begins
The first stage of evacuations along safe corridors in Ukraine began on Tuesday following three rounds of talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials.
Ukraine’s foreign ministry announced that both sides had agreed to a safe corridor between the eastern city of Sumy and Poltava, which sits closer to Ukraine’s center. The foreign ministry said that safe corridor would run between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. local time and allow both civilians and foreign students to evacuate.
The foreign ministry also posted a video of a bus with a red cross on it with civilians evacuating. Later that morning, it said that the cease-fire had been violated.
“Ceasefire violated! Russian forces are now shelling the humanitarian corridor from Zaporizhzhia to Mariupol. 8 trucks + 30 buses ready to deliver humanitarian aid to Mariupol and to evac civilians to Zaporizhzhia. Pressure on Russia MUST step up to make it uphold its commitments,” the ministry tweeted.
Officials also alleged that foreign diplomatic missions had also been targeted by Russian forces.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine strongly condemns the shelling of the premises of foreign diplomatic missions in Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation,” the foreign ministry said in a Facebook post.
The development comes amid a backdrop of over 2 million people who have fled Ukraine in less than two weeks since Russia began its invasion, according to the U.N. refugee agency.
The invasion has been widely condemned by the international community, and governments have imposed sanctions to isolate Russia while companies have nixed business with the country.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The prosecutor’s office of the International Criminal Court said Thursday that it will open an office in Venezuela as it investigates allegations of torture and killings by the South American country’s security forces.
The decision to open the office was announced by ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan at the end of a three-day trip to the capital, Caracas.
In a televised appearance alongside President Nicolás Maduro, Khan said he welcomed the commitment of the Venezuelan government to explore cooperation and technical assistance as part of the efforts to investigate alleged crimes against humanity.
Among other measures, Khan said Maduro’s government agreed to provide visas to court officials and to the participation of international organizations and partners, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
“Any state that encounters difficulties in complying with the rule of law must be respected,” Khan said. He added that he is “aware that the visit has not been easy, perhaps; but I feel very grateful for the commitment and the frank debates that we have had.”
Khan announced the investigation in November. At the time, the court and Maduro’s administration signed a memorandum of understanding in which the government agreed to cooperate to clarify the facts that led to the initiation of the process.
That announcement followed a lengthy preliminary probe started in February 2018 that focused on allegations of excessive force, arbitrary detention and torture by security forces during a crackdown on anti-government protests in 2017.
Khan’s predecessor, Fatou Bensouda, had indicated there was a reasonable basis to conclude that crimes against humanity had been committed in Venezuela, echoing the findings of the U.N.’s human rights council last year. But she left the decision to open any probe to Khan, a British lawyer who took the reins of the ICC earlier this year.
Maduro on Thursday said the opening of the office in Venezuela will allow for an “effective level of dialogue” that will help clarify the facts in a timely manner.
“We are first interested in seeing justice carried out, and where a crime of the characteristics is committed, it be punished according to the law, on time,” Maduro said. He added that the country’s judicial system is being overhauled.
Since its creation two decades ago, the ICC has mostly focused on atrocities committed in Africa. It could be years before any criminal charges are presented as part of the court’s investigation.
In a written statement, Khan said the start of the process “is not a one-way street” and should also serve as the basis for stronger partnerships.
He said efforts to put into effect the memorandum of understanding will include providing technical assistance and knowledge transfer to Venezuelan authorities “to support the effective investigation and prosecution at the national level of alleged crimes,” as well as offering training and expert advice to help implement domestic legislation.

Hundreds of adults and children test artificial pancreas on the NHS
Hundreds of adults and children with Type 1 diabetes are testing an “artificial pancreas” that could, in future, be rolled out across the NHS.
The device uses an algorithm to determine the amount of insulin that should be administered and also reads blood sugar levels to keep them steady.
The technology is much more effective at managing blood sugar levels than current devices and requires far less input than at present.
Managing Type 1 diabetes can be challenging, especially in young children, owing to variations in the levels of insulin required and unpredictability around how much youngsters eat and exercise.
Children are particularly at risk of dangerously low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia) and high blood sugar levels (hyperglycaemia), which can damage the body or even lead to death.
The new artificial pancreas, which is being manufactured by several firms, uses a “hybrid closed loop system” to continually monitor blood glucose and automatically adjust insulin through a pump.
A nurse gives a patient a diabetes test at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool. A new artificial pancreas could limit the need for blood sugar tests (PA)
It is being tested in more than 30 NHS diabetes centres across England, with 875 people benefiting for a year so far. This is the first nationwide study of its kind in the world.
The technology can eliminate finger-prick tests to check blood sugar levels and can hugely prevent hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemia attacks.
The NHS in England spends around £10 billion a year on diabetes – around 10% of its entire budget.
Professor Partha Kar, NHS national speciality adviser for diabetes, said: “Having machines monitor and deliver medication for diabetes patients sounds quite sci-fi like, but when you think of it, technology and machines are part and parcel of how we live our lives every day.
“A device picks up your glucose levels, sends the reading across to the delivery system – aka the pump – and then the system kicks in to assess how much insulin is needed.
“It is not very far away from the holy grail of a fully automated system, where people with Type 1 diabetes can get on with their lives without worrying about glucose levels or medication.”
Estimations show that only a third of children with Type 1 diabetes are able to achieve good control of their blood glucose level, which is needed to prevent complications.
Figures also show that a five-year-old child diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes faces up to 23,000 insulin injections and 52,000 finger-prick blood tests by the time they are 18.
Six-year-old Charlotte Abbott-Pierce was diagnosed just over a year ago with typical symptoms of increased thirst and the need to urinate.
Charlotte was initially started on insulin injections then progressed to an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor. Now, as part of the pilot, these systems work together.
Charlotte’s mum, Ange Abbott-Pierce, said: “Before the hybrid closed loop system was fitted, my husband and I would be up every two hours every night having to check Charlotte’s blood sugars and most times giving insulin, sometimes doing finger pricks or dealing with ketones due to quick rises in blood sugar.
“This was really hard as we both work full-time.”
She said the new system was a “godsend to us as we were at our wits’ end with worry, not being able to catch the highs before they got dangerous”.
The NHS’s pilot has been designed to include a representative mix of adults and children living with Type 1 diabetes from all backgrounds, to ensure the device’s effectiveness can be tracked.
Chris Askew, chief executive of Diabetes UK, said: “This technology has the potential to transform the lives of people with Type 1 diabetes, improving both their quality of life and clinical outcomes.
“The trial will generate real-world data which will hopefully support the case for more people having access to this life-changing tech in the future.”
The data collected from the pilot, along with other evidence, will be considered by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence when it looks at wider NHS rollout.

JAGUAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF DEBT SETTLEMENT
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jaguar Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of a debt settlement transaction (the “Debt Settlement”) entered into via debt conversion agreements with certain arm’s length and non-arm’s length creditors (the “Creditors”). Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company settled indebtedness of CAD$325,000 through the issuance of 1,946,107 common shares (“Debt Shares”) at a deemed price of CAD$0.167 per Debt Share. The Debt Shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a day from the date of issuance.
Related Party Transaction
Three insiders of the Company participated in the Debt Settlement as Creditors. Such participation is considered a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Debt Settlements (“MI 61-101”). However, this related party transaction is exempt from the minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements set out in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 respectively, as neither the fair market value of the securities to be issued under the Debt Settlement nor the consideration to be paid to the insider(s) exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Alkaline sets his eyes on Kingston for another staging of his New Rules festival.
The dancehall deejay is set to perform in Jamaica as part of his ongoing New Rules series. The first staging New Rules this year took place in Florida last Sunday and was widely successful as fans turned out to see Alkaline and a host of other artists take the stage including Mavado, Kranium, Wayne Wonder, and more.
According to Ricardo “Shuzzr” Smith, Alkaline’s spokesperson, the stage show will be held in Jamaica very soon.
“An announcement should be made later this week as it relates to the staging of New Rules in Jamaica,” he was quoted as saying to the Jamaica Observer.
Sunday’s event is among the first dancehall stage shows to be held this year. The event took place at the Miramar Regional Amphitheatre in Florida, which saw Alkaline and several Jamaican acts, including Dovey Magnum, newcomer 450, Grammy-nominated singer Wayne Wonder, Billboard-charting artiste Kranium, and Mavado giving fans excellent performances.
“Alkaline stood in profound strength and humility. He unleashed a slew of hits from his extensive catalogue while performing in unison with his band to an energetic audience while in high ‘Vendetta’ energy. His formula remains undisputed, with him still holding the keys to the city,” Smith recollected about the energetic performance from the “Champion Boy”.
Alkaline’s sister and manager, Kereena Beckford, added that the stage show in Jamaica is likely to take place around the summertime.
“I would like to thank all of our sponsors, the team, and the artists who performed. There has been a lot of inquiries about New Rules Jamaica, and we would like to let the fans know that we will be announcing the details in the coming days. But it’s looking like summer 2022, plus other surprises of course.”
The stage show was first held in Jamaica in 2017 and has visited New York and then Florida.
With Jamaica recently lifting all bans on events this month, several other stage shows and festivals like Reggae Sumfest are set to come back on stream around the summer period.

GOP Rep. Moore: ‘It’s Time to Do Away with the Masks and Move On’
Earlier this month, 17 members of Congress filed a lawsuit in opposition to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), calling for an finish to the masks mandate for air journey. Leading the swimsuit is Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). However, additionally included on the lawsuit is Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), who slammed the mandate and known as it “symbolism over substance.”
“It’s just symbolism over substance right now,” he mentioned. “These masks mean nothing. And so, I actually got on a lawsuit with Thomas Massie, congressman from Kentucky, two weeks ago. A number of us are suing to have the masks removed from the airplanes and this trade commission deal, where they’ve got all of these people wearing masks and enforcing it, saying it is a federal law. We’re on a suit right now to stop that.”
“And you’re right — it’s just, we’re trying to put pressure right now because we see how silly this is,” Moore continued. “Two weeks to flatten the curve and eight-hundred-and-something days now, I guess, but a long, long time. And honestly, looking back right now, the masks didn’t work anyway. Most of us felt like they wouldn’t, but … it’s time to do away with the masks and move on. It blows my mind people still wear a mask outside right now. I just can’t wrap my head around it.”

Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has agreed to appear at a deposition in Connecticut to answer questions in a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
That's according to new court filings by his lawyers on Thursday, which comes a day after a judge ordered fines against Jones for defying orders to attend a deposition last week despite his claim of illness.
Jones now says he can answer questions on April 11 and is asking the judge to put a hold on the fines. There was no immediate ruling on Jones' requests. The families are suing him for calling the school massacre a hoax.
Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis said, “The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant Alex Jones willfully and in bad faith violated without justification several clear court orders requiring his attendance at his depositions on March 23 and March 24.”
Judge Bellis said in the decision on Wednesday, “It is clear…that the plaintiffs here simply want and are entitled to the deposition of Mr. Jones and that Mr. Jones has continued to attempt to deliberately disregard the court’s orders and attempts to manipulate the court process.”
“While paying the fees and court’s costs will reimburse the plaintiffs for costs incurred in attempting to procure Mr. Jones’ deposition, it is not a substitution for his testimony,” she said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after Russian troops withdrew from the north and center of the country, the situation has been heating up in the southeast where Russian forces are building up for new powerful attacks.
In his nighttime video address to the nation Thursday, Zelenskyy said it was heartening for all Ukrainians to see Russian troops retreating from north of Kyiv, from around the northern town of Chernihiv and from Sumy in the northeast.
But he urged Ukrainians not to let up, saying the withdrawal was just a Russian tactic.
“We know their intentions. We know what they are planning and what they are doing,” Zelenskyy said. “We know that they are moving away from those areas where we hit them in order to focus on other, very important areas. There where it may be difficult for us.
“We all want to win,” Zelenskyy added. “But there will be battles ahead. We still have to go through a very difficult path ahead to get everything we are striving for.”
Zelenskyy said he spoke Thursday with European Council President Charles Michel and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while his adviser spoke with U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
“We need more support from our partners right now when Russian troops are concentrating additional forces in certain areas,” Zelenskyy said.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
WASHINGTON — The top-ranking Ukrainian Catholic cleric in the United States warned Thursday that religious minorities in the Eastern European country stand to be “crushed” if Moscow gains control, as fighting raged on more than a month after the Russian invasion began.
Archbishop Borys Gudziak said groups at risk include Catholics, Muslims and Orthodox who have broken away from the patriarch of Moscow.
Gudziak also cited reports that Russian forces have damaged two Holocaust memorials and Moscow’s false portrayal of Ukraine as a “Nazi” state although Ukraine overwhelmingly elected a Jewish president in Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“What is at stake for the people of faith is their freedom to practice their faith,” Gudziak said during an online panel discussion on the war, hosted by the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University.
Gudziak is head of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and president of Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. He also oversees external relations for the Kyiv-based Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says an initial half-dozen shipments of weapons and other security assistance have reached Ukraine as part of the $800 million package of aid that President Joe Biden approved on March 16.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that the shipments included Javelin anti-tank weapons, Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, body armor, medical supplies and other material. He said the 100 Switchblade armed drones that Biden approved as part of the package have not yet been delivered.
Kirby said the $800 million in assistance is likely to be fully delivered within about two weeks. It also includes Mi-17 helicopters, small arms, ammunition, vehicles, secure communications systems, and satellite imagery and analysis capability.
Separately, Kirby said U.S. troops are not training Ukrainian troops in Poland but are acting as liaisons with Ukrainian personnel who cross the border into Poland to take possession of U.S. security assistance. He noted that the standard U.S. military training mission that had existed in Ukraine for years was suspended shortly before Russia invaded.

DOHA, Qatar — A video showing the head of Ukrainian soccer wearing an armored vest on the streets of Kyiv brought the impact of Russia’s war into the FIFA Congress.
Andriy Pavelko used a recorded message to the gathering in Qatar on Thursday to talk about the deaths of footballers even as the sport “has taken a back seat in our country.”
The gathering in Doha featured delegates from Russia, including Alexey Sorokin, the chief executive of Russia’s 2018 World Cup organizing committee.
Russia won’t be in the draw for the World Cup on Friday after being disqualified from playing internationally by FIFA over the war. Ukraine can still qualify but its playoff semifinal against Scotland has been postponed until June with the hope the team will be in a position to return to the field by then.

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s ombudsperson says that at least one person has been killed and four others have been wounded in the Russian shelling of a humanitarian convoy.
Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Lyudmyla Denisova said those who came under the shelling on Thursday were volunteers accompanying a convoy of buses sent to the northern city of Chernihiv to evacuate residents.
She said that the Russian forces besieging Chernihiv have made it impossible to evacuate civilians from the city that has been cut from food, water and other supplies.
The Russian shelling continued two days after Moscow announced it would scale back military operations around Kyiv and Chernihiv.
___
BERLIN — The International Atomic Energy Agency says it has been informed by Ukraine that the Russian forces which were in control of the Chernobyl nuclear plant have “in writing, transferred control” of the facility to Ukrainian personnel.
Ukraine said three convoys of Russian forces have already left the site toward Belarus, while the remaining troops were presumed to be preparing to leave, the agency said Thursday.
The IAEA added that it was in close consultations with Ukrainian authorities on sending a first assistance and support mission to Chernobyl in the next few days.
The agency said it has not been able to confirm reports of Russian forces receiving high doses of radiation while being inside the exclusion zone of the now-closed plant, but is seeking further information in order to provide an independent assessment of the situation.
___
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed his offer to host a meeting between the Ukrainian and Russian leaders during a telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
A statement from Erdogan’s office said the Turkish president also told Zelenskyy Thursday that a meeting between Ukrainian and Russian negotiators who met in Istanbul earlier this week had given “a meaningful impetus” to efforts to end the fighting.
Earlier this week, Ukraine’s delegation laid out a framework under which the country would declare itself neutral and its security would be guaranteed by an array of nations, including Turkey.
Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a joint news conference with a top Turkish Cypriot official that Erdogan also is expected to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday said there’s “no clear evidence” that Vladimir Putin is scaling back military operations around Kyiv and suggested that the Russian president may have ordered some of his advisers fired or placed under house arrest.
Biden told reporters that “there’s some indication” that Putin has taken those steps against some of his advisers. He added, “But I don’t want to put too much stock in that at this time because we don’t have that much hard evidence.”
The White House on Wednesday released unclassified intelligence findings that Putin is being misinformed by his advisors about how badly the Russian military is performing.
The president made the comments after formally announcing that the U.S. would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve in hopes of easing surging gasoline prices.
Biden also reiterated that his administration remains skeptical that Russia will scale back operations around Kyiv as Moscow announced earlier this week.
Russian forces continued to shell Kyiv suburbs Thursday, two days after the Kremlin announced it would significantly scale back operations near both the capital and the northern city of Chernihiv.
___
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine says the United Nations and its partners have delivered supplies for thousands of people in the country’s northeast but have been unable to reach some encircled cities in the south.
Osnat Lubrani said Thursday that food rations from the humanitarian organization People in Need and the U.N. World Food Program will benefit nearly 6,000 people in Sumy and areas including Trostianets and Okhtyrka.
In addition, she said, basic household items including blankets and kettles from the U.N. refugee agency will support 1,500 people and sanitation kits will help 6,000 people with hygiene and drinking water.
Lubrani said medical supplies and trauma kits from the U.N. World Health Organization will treat 150 patients needing intensive care for serious injuries while other medical supplies will support 10,000 people for three months.
Shei said the U.N.-facilitated humanitarian notification system with Ukraine and Russia enabled safe passage for the convoy to Sumy on Thursday “but this is clearly not enough.” Efforts over the past month to reach Mauripol, Kherson and other encircled cities in the south have been unsuccessful because of safety concerns.
___
BERLIN — The U.N. nuclear watchdog says its director-general has arrived in Russia’s Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad for talks with senior Russian officials.
The International Atomic Energy Agency didn’t specify in a tweet whom exactly Rafael Mariano Grossi will meet on Friday or give further details of his agenda.
He arrived in Kaliningrad Thursday following a visit to Ukraine, where he visited a nuclear power plant and conferred with the energy minister and other officials on efforts to ensure the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants.
Ukraine has 15 active nuclear reactors at four plants -- one of which, at Zaporizhzhia, is under the Russian military’s control.
___
GENEVA — A team with the International Committee of the Red Cross has arrived in a Ukraine-held city where staff are preparing to take civilians out of the beleaguered port city of Mariupol.
Julien Lerisson, deputy director of operations for the ICRC, said Thursday that the team assembling in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, has medicines, food, water, hygiene items and other essentials.
He said the organization has high-level agreement for the mission but is focused on making sure “the order trickles down the chain of command,” allowing the team to enter and leave Mariupol safely.
The Russian military has said it committed to a cease-fire along the route from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian authorities have said 45 buses would be sent to collect citizens and provide resources to those who remain.
Lucile Marbeau, a staff member with the ICRC team hoping to enter Mariupol, said on Thursday: “We’re here because really, we hope to be able to facilitate safe passage for civilians desperately wanting to flee Mariupol.”
___
LONDON — Britain’s defense minister says Ukraine’s international allies have agreed to send more military equipment, including artillery ammunition and armored vehicles.
U.K. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace held a conference call Thursday with defense ministers from more than 35 countries, including the United States, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.
Wallace said that as a result “there will be more lethal aid going into Ukraine.” He said that would include “more long-range artillery, ammunition predominantly,” to help counter Russia’s bombardment of Ukraine’s cities.
Wallace said Ukraine was “also looking for armoured vehicles of some types, not tanks necessarily, but certainly protective vehicles.”
He said allies were also “looking to see what more we can do” to help Ukraine defend its coastline.
___
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has sanctioned an employee of a state-affiliated Russian defense firm that developed malicious software that was used to target the energy sector.
The Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned Evgeny Viktorovich Gladkikh. He was one of four Russians charged in Justice Department indictments unsealed last week that alleged the hacking by Russia of critical infrastructure around the globe, including in the U.S. energy and aviation sectors.
Among the thousands of computers targeted in some 135 countries were of a Saudi petro-chemical plant where the hackers overrode safety controls.
That hack is singled out in a Treasury Department release announcing sanctions against Gladikh and several other employees of the research firm. In total, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced that it was designating 21 entities and 13 individuals, including in the aerospace, marine and electronics sectors.

LVIV, Ukraine — Russian troops were leaving the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and heading towards Ukraine’s border with Belarus, the Ukrainian nuclear operator company said Thursday.
The operator, Energoatom, said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.
Energoatom also said reports were confirmed that the Russians dug trenches in the Red Forest, the 10-square-kilometer (nearly four-square-mile) area surrounding the Chernobyl plant within the Exclusion Zone, and received “significant doses of radiation.”
The Russian troops “panicked at the first sign of illness,” which “showed up very quickly,” and began to prepare to leave, the operator said. The claim couldn’t be independently verified.
Energoatom said the Russians have signed a document confirming the handover of the Chernobyl plant and stating that the plant’s administration doesn’t have any complaints about the Russian troops who were “guarding” the facility.
___
LONDON — The head of Britain’s military says Russian President Vladimir Putin has “already lost” in Ukraine and is weaker than he was before the invasion.
Adm. Tony Radakin at a think-tank seminar Thursday in London said Moscow’s aim to “take the whole of Ukraine” fell apart. He added that the coming weeks “will continue to be very difficult” for Ukraine.
“But in many ways, Putin has already lost,” he said. “Far from being the far-sighted manipulator of events that he would have us believe, Putin has damaged himself through a series of catastrophic misjudgements.”
Radakin also said there was “disquiet” at all levels of Russia’s military about the campaign, from troops who were not told they were invading Ukraine up to senior commanders.
Western officials say Putin’s small inner circle is not giving him the true picture of the war, and his isolation may have contributed to miscalculating the strength of resistance Russian troops would meet.
___
BERLIN — The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe expressed regret Thursday at Russia’s decision to veto the extension of its observer mission in Ukraine.
The OSCE’s special monitoring mission has been present in Ukraine since 2014, when fighting between Ukrainians and Russia-backed separatists broke out in the country’s eastern regions after Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau, who holds the OSCE rotating chair, said the observers had played a “crucial role by providing objective information on the security and humanitarian situation on the ground and relentlessly working to ease the effects of the conflict on the civilian population” in Ukraine for the past eight year.
The Vienna-based body’s secretary general, Helga Maria Schmid, expressed gratitude to the mission’s members, several of whom were wounded or killed over the years.
___
BERLIN — Germany’s economy minister says Europe should impose additional sanctions on Russia to prevent what he described as a “barbaric” war in Ukraine.
Robert Habeck said he discussed what further measures could be taken with his French counterpart during a bilateral meeting in Berlin on Thursday.
“The last package (of sanctions) doesn’t need to be the final one, it should not be the final one,” he told reporters, adding that he and French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire had “identified additional points that could be included in a (sanctions) package.”
Habeck declined to elaborate on what those points might be.
Speaking ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement on new rules requiring countries to pay for Russia’s natural gas sales in rubles, Habeck insisted that contracts would be adhered to. These stipulate payment in euros or dollars.
___
BERLIN — The Austrian and German leaders have underlined their rejection of a halt to Russian energy deliveries at this point.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer noted that several central and eastern European countries depend to one extent or another on Russian gas deliveries.
He and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz argued that existing sanctions already are having a significant effect and said they need time to switch to new providers and renewable energy sources.
Nehammer said that “sanctions only make sense … when they hit those they are supposed to hit, and don’t weaken those who carry out sanctions.”
___
ROME — A Kremlin decree says “unfriendly countries” can continue to pay for natural gas in foreign currency through a Russian bank that will convert the money into rubles.
The decree published Thursday by state media came a day after the leaders of Italy and Germany said they received assurances from President Vladimir Putin.
Putin talked tougher, saying Russia will start accepting ruble payments starting Friday for Western countries that imposed sanctions over its conflict with Ukraine. He said contracts will be stopped if buyers don’t sign up to the new conditions, including opening ruble accounts in Russian banks.
European leaders had rejected paying for deliveries in rubles, saying it would undermine sanctions imposed because of the war in Ukraine.
The decree Putin signed and published by state news agency RIA Novosti says a designated bank will open two accounts for each buyer, one in foreign currency and one in rubles. The buyers will pay in foreign currency and authorize the bank to sell that currency for rubles, which are placed in the second account, where the gas is formally purchased.
___
ROME — Italy’s leader is urging Europe to “cultivate all available land” as a partial remedy to reductions in agricultural imports, especially of Russian grain, due to the war in Ukraine.
Premier Mario Draghi told reporters on Thursday that under existing agricultural practices in the European Union 10% of land is purposely left fallow, but that must now change as European countries search for ways to reduce dependency on farm imports.
It’s not clear whether Ukraine, one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, maize and sunflower oil, might be able to salvage any of this planting season.
Meanwhile, Draghi noted that Western Europe will be looking to food producers like Canada, the United States and Argentina to help make up the shortfall of imports from Ukraine and Russia.
___
STOCKHOLM — The deputy director of Sweden’s Military Intelligence and Security agency says Russia has made “a strategic miscalculation when invading Ukraine.”
Daniel Olsson said the invasion of Ukraine “has shown that the Russian leadership is ready to take great risks, larger than previously taken.”
The government agency’s analysis suggested a likely “a western containment of Russia,” including reducing trade in Russian energy.

7 Defense Stocks to Buy as Global Tensions Continue to GrowThe United States may not officially be on a war footing. But since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration is pledging $350 million in military aid. And we're not the only ones. Our NATO allies are also making commitments to help Ukraine in its defense. And those commitments, along with that of the United States is likely to increase if the conflict escalates.
That means this is the time for opportunistic investors to pounce on defense stocks. These are stocks that support the military industrial complex in the United States. Even in peace time, the defense department commands a significant portion of the federal government's budget. So it's logical to presume that more money will be spent to assist in our defense as well as the defense of other countries.
This is an example of investing in the world that exists rather than the world you may want. These seven companies stand to see a sizable increase in revenue. This is likely to spill over into earnings which in turn will lead to a higher stock price over time.
Here are seven defense stocks that you should be considering right now.

Wins shot-put title in first outdoor event of the year
Bison Senior Trevor Otterdahl, who was named the Summit League’s Most Valuable Player for field events at the league’s championship in February, has now been voted the Summit League’s Indoor Athlete of the Year for 2021-22.
Otterdahl earned back-to-back first-team All-American honors with his second consecutive fifth place finish in the weight throw at the NCAA Indoor Championships this past March 11 in Birmingham, Ala. Otterdahl’s throw of 72-11.75 (22.24m) on his third of six throws was good for fifth. He also earned 18 points for the NDSU men’s team while winning the weight throw event and finishing second in the shot put at the Summit League Championships in Grand Forks on February 25 and 26.
Otterdahl is now the third Bison to be honored with the Summit League’s Indoor Athlete of the Year award joining his brother Payton (2019) and the second consecutive Bison athlete to be named following Alex Talley’s win in 2021.
Wins shot-put title in first outdoor event
Otterdahl, not missing a beat from his fifth place finish in the throwing event at the NCAA Indoor Championships just two weeks ago, won the shot-put event on Thursday at the Raleigh Relays in Raleigh, N.C., on the campus of North Carolina State University.
With a throw of 62-06.75 (19.07m), Otterdahl won the event and extended his previous outdoor shot put best by over two feet. He also moves into the No. 6 slot on NDSU’s all-time list in the event.
NDSU senior Kristoffer Thomsen finished second in the event with a toss of 62-05.25 (19.03m). Otterdahl and Thomsen currently occupy third and fourth, respectively, in NCAA Division I as the outdoor season is now underway.

Prosecutor seeks end to Khashoggi murder trial in Turkey, requests transfer to Saudi Arabia
The Turkish prosecutor in the case against 26 Saudi nationals charged in the slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi made a surprise request Thursday that their trial in absentia be suspended and the case transferred to Saudi Arabia, raising fears of a possible coverup.
The panel of judges made no ruling on the prosecutor’s request but said a letter would be sent to Turkey’s Justice Ministry seeking its opinion on the possible transfer of the file to Saudi judicial authorities, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. The trial was adjourned until April 7.
The development comes as Turkey has been trying to normalize its relationship with Saudi Arabia, which hit an all-time low following Khashoggi’s grisly October 2018 killing. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview on Thursday that Saudi authorities were more cooperative on judicial issues with Turkey, but did not elaborate.
In arguing for the transfer, the prosecutor told the court that the Saudi chief public prosecutor’s office requested the Turkish proceedings be transferred to the kingdom in a letter dated March 13, and that international warrants issued by Ankara against the defendants be lifted, according to the private DHA news agency.
The prosecutor said that because the arrest warrants cannot be executed and defense statements cannot be taken, the case would remain inconclusive in Turkey.
Amnesty International urged Turkey to press ahead with the trial, saying if it is transferred to Saudi Arabia, Turkey will be “knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up.”
Moving Khashoggi’s trial to Saudi Arabia would provide a diplomatic resolution to a dispute that represented the wider troubles between Ankara and the kingdom since the 2011 Arab Spring.
Turkey under Erdogan supported Islamists as the uprisings took hold, while Saudi Arabia and its ally the United Arab Emirates sought to suppress such movements for fear of facing challenges to their autocratic governments. Meanwhile, Turkey sided with Qatar in a diplomatic dispute that saw Doha boycotted by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Since then-President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, the Gulf Arab states have set aside — but not fully resolved — the Qatar dispute. Meanwhile, Turkey under Erdogan has faced a rapid devaluation of its lira currency over his refusal to hike interest rates. Bilateral trade to the kingdom and the UAE, a major transshipment point for the world economy, also collapsed.
Since the start of 2022, Erdogan has sought to improve those ties, including making his first visit to the UAE in nearly a decade. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, after fighting through the coronavirus pandemic’s economic effects, facing a grinding war in Yemen and struggling with renewed tensions with Iran, also want to resolve the outstanding feud.
Khashoggi disappeared on Oct. 2, 2018, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, seeking documents that would allow him to marry Hatice Cengiz, a Turkish national who was waiting outside the building. He never emerged.
Turkish officials allege that the Saudi national, who was a United States resident, was killed and then dismembered with a bone saw inside the consulate. His body has not been found. Prior to his killing, Khashoggi had written critically of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince in columns for the Washington Post.
Turkish authorities said he was killed by a team of Saudi agents. Those on trial in absentia include two former aides of the prince.
Saudi officials initially offered conflicting accounts concerning the killing, including claims that Khashoggi had left the consulate building unharmed. But amid mounting international pressure, they stated that Khashoggi’s death was a tragic accident, with the meeting unexpectedly turning violent.
Turkey decided to try the defendants in absentia after Saudi Arabia rejected Turkish demands for their extradition.
The slaying had sparked international condemnation and cast a cloud of suspicion over Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Western intelligence agencies, as well as the U.S. Congress, have said that an operation of this magnitude could not have happened without his knowledge.
In urging Turkey to proceed with the trial, Amnesty International said Ankara would be complicit in a coverup if it grants the Saudi request for a transfer.
“If the prosecutor’s request is granted, then instead of prosecuting and shedding light on a murder that was committed on its territory ... Turkey will be knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up,” said Tarik Beyhan, Amnesty’s campaign director for Turkey.
Beyhan said he didn’t want to “think about the possibility” that the prosecutor’s request may be related to the improving ties between Riyadh and Ankara.
“Basic human rights ... should not be made the subject of political negotiations,” he said. “A murder cannot be covered up to fix relations.”
Some of the men were put on trial in Riyadh behind closed doors. A Saudi court issued a final verdict in 2020 that sentenced five mid-level officials and operatives to 20-year jail terms. The court had originally ordered the death penalty, but reduced the punishment after Khashoggi’s son Salah, who lives in Saudi Arabia, announced that he forgave the defendants. Three others were sentenced to lesser jail terms.
On Thursday, Khashoggi's fiancee, Cengiz, appeared to criticize the prosecutor’s request in a tweet in English. “It is an exemplary situation in terms of showing the dilemma facing humanity in the modern era,” she wrote. “Which of the two will we choose? To want to live like a virtuous human being or to build a life by holding material interests above all kinds of values.”
She did not respond to a request for comment.

Which protein shake is best: Premier or Fairlife?
A protein shake after an exhausting workout can be highly beneficial. Protein is the most critical macronutrient required for efficient muscle recovery, so getting enough of it is crucial if you exercise or lift weights often.
If you’re trying to decide which protein shake is right for you, Premier and Fairlife are two popular brands you should consider. Both supplements contain significant amounts of protein and other vitamins and nutrients, but the right one for you depends on your body and fitness goals.
Premier protein shake
Premier protein shakes are a great way to supplement your post-workout diet and boost the muscle recovery process, letting you get more out of your workouts and potentially see results faster.
Premier incorporates plenty of protein and other vital nutrients and vitamins in their products, making them an excellent snack or post-workout recovery supplement.
Premier protein shake pros
One serving of a Premier protein shake contains 160 calories and 30 grams of protein, which is more than even most whey isolate protein powders, which usually have 20-28 grams per serving. There are also many essential amino acids, including 6.6 grams of branched-chain amino acids, which are vital for significant muscle recovery and growth.
They have just 1 gram of sugar per serving and are available in 12 low-fat flavors. From chocolate to vanilla to coffee, every flavor is gluten-free, soy-free and appropriate for keto, bariatric and kosher diets. It’s also worth noting that the coffee flavor contains caffeine and that a handful of flavors can substitute for coffee cream.
Premier protein shakes come in ready-made bottle-size servings as well as in a protein powder for mixing at your leisure. It’s up to your preference, but it’s important to note that the premixed drinks contain more sugar per serving than the powder.
Premier protein shake cons
Although Premier shakes contain 24 vitamins and minerals, they don’t have enough nutrients to serve as viable meal replacements. They’re suitable as snacks in between meals and as post-workout supplements only.
Premier shakes also contain a high amount of protein, which can be unnecessary and even harmful if you’re already getting enough of it from your regular diet in the form of healthy whole foods. Also, they contain artificial sweeteners, and if you’re lactose-intolerant, you’re going to want to steer clear of Premier protein shakes.
Fairlife protein shake
Fairlife protein shakes are an excellent workout supplement for those looking to boost muscle recovery following rigorous exercise. They’re light, so you won’t feel too full after drinking one, making them an acceptable snack as well.
Fairlife protein shake pros
The original Fairlife Nutrition Plan shakes have the same protein as Premier shakes at 30 grams per serving. It contains just 150 calories per serving, so it’s 10 fewer than the ready-made Premier protein shakes. In terms of nutrients, it has nine essential amino acids and several vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, calcium and potassium.
These shakes have plenty of protein, and their low-carb formula makes them an excellent supplement for those seeking to lose weight while maintaining a solid muscle frame. They’re made with ultra-filtered milk, giving them a smooth, creamy texture that’s delicious.
Also, unlike Premier protein shakes, Fairlife shakes are suitable for anybody who’s lactose-intolerant.
Fairlife protein shake cons
They only come in seven flavors, but some users argue that it doesn’t taste as good as other comparable shakes. They’re also pricey, so you might get more bang for your buck with Premier shakes. Also, there isn’t as much diversity in terms of products as with Premier protein products.
Should you get Premier or Fairlife protein shakes?
Both Premier and Fairlife protein shakes work well as workout supplements since they both have plenty of protein and amino acids necessary for muscle recovery. They both also have vitamins and minerals that make them suitable as meal supplements or daytime snacks.
Fairlife shakes are easier on the stomach since they’re lactose-free, so while Premier shakes are also light, Fairlife is arguably the better choice for those following strict diets. However, Premier shakes are available in more unique flavors, so you can try different ones until you find one you like.
Ultimately, both shakes will give you a protein boost sufficient enough to aid in the muscle recovery process, especially if you exercise or lift weights consistently. Although Fairlife shakes have more calories and protein per serving, making them slightly better for those with muscle-building goals, Premier shakes are low in fat, so they’re excellent for anyone looking to lose weight.

Live coverage – House tees up vote on Russian fuel ban, sanctions
The U.S. House is expected to vote on a sanctions package on Tuesday that includes a ban on Russian fuel and a review of Russia’s status as part of the World Trade Organization in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine
The vote comes as President Biden announced that the U.S. will ban imports of Russian oil, natural gas and coal.
Follow The Hill’s live coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine below.
Hoyer says Russian gas ban is worth political cost
6:54 p.m.
Democrats pressing ahead with the ban on Russian fuel imports are quietly wary of the political blowback sure to follow if domestic gas prices increase, which is likely, and Republicans blame President Biden for the rise, which is certain.
Yet despite the risks heading into November’s midterm elections, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that the more important consideration is helping Ukraine defend itself from an unprovoked Russian assault that’s already killed hundreds of civilians and aims to topple the government in Kyiv.
“Yes, our majority is on the line,” Hoyer told reporters on a press call. “But what’s on the line, really, is freedom, sovereignty, the world that operates consistent with international law.”

Raimondo warns Chinese companies against defying US restrictions on exporting to Russia
5:35 p.m.
The Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo issued a warning against Chinese-based companies who defy U.S. restrictions on exporting goods to Russia amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In an interview with The New York Times published on Tuesday, Raimondo said the Biden Administration could “essentially shut” down Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation or any Chinese based companies if they defy the restrictions.
“[Russia] is certainly going to be courting other countries to do an end-run around our sanctions and export controls,” Raimondo told the Times.
Raimondo added if the U.S. were to find a company that was selling chips to Russia, officials would shut SMIC down because we prevent them from using our equipment and our software.”
“They have their own self-interest to not supply this stuff to Russia. So they’re not doing it out of the goodness of their heart. It would be devastating to China’s ability to produce these chips,” Raimondo told the newspaper.

Poland transferring MiG fighters to US amid Ukraine pleas for help

“The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies – owners of MIG-29 jets – to act in the same vein.”

Congress reaches deal on billions in Ukraine aid
3:28 p.m.
Congressional leaders have reached a deal to provide roughly $14 billion in Ukraine-related aid, which they expect to include in a massive government funding package.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced the deal, which will include humanitarian assistance and military aid in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Where we’ve ended up is at $14 billion,” McConnell said.
An aide confirmed there was a deal but tagged the figure closer to $13.5 billion. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y) told reporters it would be “a little less than” $14 billion.
The spending is being dropped into a massive government funding package that congressional leaders are aiming to unveil on Tuesday.

11-year-old Ukrainian boy flees alone to Slovakia
2:44 p.m.
An 11-year-old Ukrainian boy who fled his war-ravaged country alone to Slovakia is being hailed as a hero.
The boy, who only traveled with a plastic bag, a passport, and a telephone number scrawled on his hand, safely escaped from his native city of Zaporizhzhia, according to The Washington Post.
In a statement posted to Facebook on Monday, Slovakia’s interior minister, Roman Mikulec, said the boy, named Hassan, showed “huge determination, courage, and fearlessness that sometimes adults don’t have.”
“I am really very sorry for him and all the other children and their families who have to flee their country because of what is happening in Ukraine. Together with his siblings, he already asked for temporary protection,” Mikulec wrote in his Facebook post.

U.K. officials on Tuesday announced plans to phase out imports of Russian oil and oil products by the end of 2022 as a response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
Authorities said in a statement that the latest move will give the government more time to adjust supply chains, adding that it will work with companies through its task force on oil to support them in finding new alternative supplies.
British officials also said they plan to work closely with their allies to end the country’s dependence on Russian hydrocarbons amid the conflict, recognizing the different circumstances and transition timelines.
“In another economic blow to the Putin regime following their illegal invasion of Ukraine, the UK will move away from dependence on Russian oil throughout this year, building on our severe package of international economic sanctions, “ British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a statement.

House to vote Tuesday on Russian fuel ban, other trade sanctions
12:39 p.m.
House lawmakers will vote Tuesday on a package of sanctions targeting Russia, including a ban on fuel and a new review of Russia’s status as part of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The legislation will also expand an existing human rights law, the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which empowers presidents to apply sanctions to those regimes that commit human rights violations — a charge facing Russian President Vladimir Putin for allegedly targeting civilians in Ukraine.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced the package in a letter to Democrats, describing the legislation as a vital step in the global effort to rein in Putin amid Russia’s bloody assault on Ukraine, where hundreds of civilians have been killed and more than a million forced to flee the country.
“Because this legislation is an urgent imperative – both morally and for our security interests – the House will consider this legislation on the Floor today,” she wrote.
Pelosi characterized the proposals as a compliment to the executive actions of President Biden, who announced his own ban on the import of Russian fuel Tuesday morning.

12:08 p.m.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a statement released Tuesday, saying that its 23 member states “deplore the resulting loss of life and humanitarian impact.”
The CERN Council decided that the organization will promote initiatives in support of Ukrainian scientific activity as well as suspending the “Observer” status of the Russian Federation in the organization.
CERN will no longer collaborate with Russia in any capacity, it added.
“CERN was established in the aftermath of World War II to bring nations and people together for the peaceful pursuit of science: this aggression runs against everything for which the Organization stands,” the statement said. “CERN will continue to uphold its core values of scientific collaboration across borders as a driver for peace.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday said a child died after suffering from dehydration in Mariupol, the besieged Ukrainian city that Russian forces have encircled and cut off from water and power.
In a televised address, Zelensky said trucks carrying humanitarian aid have been sent to Mariupol, according to ABC News. The president blamed Russia for killing Ukrainians but said western allies have also not fulfilled promises to ship fighter jets to Ukraine.
“We have been hearing promises about support for 13 days that the jets are about to arrive,” he said, per ABC. “We have heard promises about securing humanitarian corridors. They didn’t work. We don’t have time to wait. People in Mariupol don’t have time to wait.”
At least 840 children have been wounded and at least 28 have died since the war began nearly two weeks ago, according to a Ukrainian official.

Russia likely to escalate attacks despite setbacks: US intelligence officials
11:16 a.m.
Russia is likely to escalate its military actions in Ukraine even as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ability to maintain long-term influence over its neighbor remains unlikely, U.S. intelligence officials told lawmakers Tuesday.
“We assess Putin feels aggrieved the West does not give him proper deference and perceives this as a war he cannot afford to lose, but what he might be willing to accept as a victory may change over time given the significant costs he is incurring,” National Intelligence Director Avril Haines told lawmakers at the annual worldwide threats hearing.
The hearing continued the U.S. government’s practice of openly sharing its intelligence gathered on Putin’s thinking on Ukraine as a way of battling disinformation from the Russian government.

Foreign policy experts call for ‘limited no-fly zone’ over Ukraine
8:46 a.m.
A group of foreign policy experts is calling for a “limited no-fly zone” over Ukraine that would protect established safe corridors for those evacuating the country and “deter Russian bombardment” to protect civilians.
In an open letter to the Biden administration that was obtained by Politico, 27 foreign policy experts urged for a “limited No-Fly Zone over Ukraine starting with protection for humanitarian corridors that were agreed upon in talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials on Thursday.”
“What we seek is the deployment of American and NATO aircraft not in search of confrontation with Russia but to avert and deter Russian bombardment that would result in massive loss of Ukrainian lives. This is in addition to the request from Ukrainian leaders for A-10 and MIG-29 aircraft to help Ukrainians defend themselves, which we also strongly support,” the group later added.

Almost half cannot identify bowel cancer signs - poll
Almost half of the adult population cannot name a single symptom of bowel cancer, a new poll suggests.
Bowel Cancer UK said the lack of awareness is “shocking” as it urged people to come forward and get checked if they are feeling unwell.
New polling for the charity found that 45% of British adults cannot name any symptoms of the disease.
Men were less likely to be able to identify symptoms, with 55% unable to name any symptoms of the disease compared to 36% of women.
Just over a third (35%) of adults were able to identify the “red flag” symptom of blood in poo.
And the other four main symptoms of the disease, including a change in bowel habits, pain in the abdomen, weight loss and unexplained fatigue, also had “alarmingly low rates of awareness”, the charity said.
A Cat Scanner (Julien Behal/PA)
One in eight (12%) knew a change in bowel habits was linked to the disease and 11% knew that pain in the tummy or abdomen as a symptom.
Just 8% knew unexplained weight loss could be a sign of bowel cancer and only 2% had heard that unusual fatigue could be a sign, according to the poll of 2,000 British adults.
The charity said that if bowel cancer is caught early it can be cured, with nearly everyone diagnosed at an early stage surviving.
But these odds drop significantly if a patient’s cancer has had a chance to spread.
It said that if more people are aware of symptoms then more will seek help at an earlier stage.
Dr Lisa Wilde, director of research and external affairs at Bowel Cancer UK, said: “Bowel cancer remains the UK’s second biggest cancer killer, and it’s shocking that people aren’t aware of the symptoms to look out for.
“If you notice any signs of bowel cancer, or if things just don’t feel right for you, please visit your GP.
“While the disease largely affects people over the age of 50, more than 2,600 under 50s are diagnosed each year, so it’s really important people seek advice as soon as possible – whatever their age – if they’re worried.
“Today, the UK Government close their call for evidence for a new 10-year cancer plan which presents an opportunity to transform the future of bowel cancer in England. It is clear from these findings that this plan must include action to increase awareness of symptoms of bowel cancer, and encourage people to seek help as early as possible.”
Nearly 43,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year in the UK.
It is the nation’s second biggest cancer killer and is the cause of 16,500 deaths every year in Britain.

Rick Ross says he is serious about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The rapper has been open about many goals he has set for himself. From owing dozens of cars and only learning to drive at 45 years old, the Rozay rapper is not one to cop out.
Rick Ross recently disclosed on the Full Send Podcast that he has set some ambitious goals for himself this year, including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.
“I really believe when I put my heart to something, I can do anything,” he began. “As a matter of fact, I was smoking, I was on my back patio last night, I’m sitting underneath the trees, I’m listening to the waterfall, I’m looking at the plants, the landscaping, the patio furniture, you know? And I gave myself a challenge and I’m actually issuing you guys a challenge here,” he says.
“This is the first time I’ve said this, but in 2024, I’ma hike to the top of Kilimanjaro. Just making it to the top, and you going with me.”
Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano in Tanzania famous for its three volcanic cones, namely Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. The mountain forms the highest peek on the African continent making it no easy fete to climb.
Mount Kilimanjaro is known as one of the most difficult mountains to climb but not because of how steep the trails are but because the hardest part is getting to the summit, which at night is extremely difficult as this is the coldest, windiest section of the adventure with an ascent of 4,084ft with 49% less oxygen and descent of nearly 6,870ft. Still, about 30,000 people attempt to climb the mountain annually, and there are about 10 fatalities per year.
However, Rick Ross isn’t deterred as he says he’s determined to complete the climb.
“I’m the boss, I don’t look into nothing,” he said. “I make my mind up, it’s not really that big. I just gotta get it done. And what you gotta realize, if you notice I said 2024. So for the rest of this year, I’m getting prepared mentally, next year I get prepared physically.”
When asked about the length of days to complete the journey, he says, “Who knows? I’m guessing five/10 days, some shit like that. Give me 12 days, no rush. That’s what we doing. I’m not sure [about the elevation], I would wanna guess maybe 5000 [metres] or some type of shit.”
And he’s already preparing in terms of food and company as he says he’s not going on his own because someone needs to carry his Wingstop fries and chips.

A new study released Thursday found that those who are pregnant and vaccinated against COVID-19 are twice as likely to get a breakthrough case of the virus than those who aren't pregnant.
Researchers from the Wisconsin-based company Epic said they analyzed the medical records of about 14 million patients that were stored in Cosmos, a HIPAA-defined data set of more than 140 million people from 960 hospitals and 20,814 clinics that serve patients in all 50 states.
According to the study, researchers honed in on what comorbidities could increase a patient's chances of getting a breakthrough COVID-19 case while vaccinated.
They found that pregnant individuals were 1.91 times more likely to get COVID while vaccinated. They also found that those with organ transplants were 1.83 times more likely to get COVID-19, and those with immune deficiency were 1.63 times more likely to get breakthrough COVID.

Great Southern doubles down on Duketon gold chase
Gold and nickel explorer Great Southern Mining is bringing the drill again to its wholly-owned Duketon gold challenge, to drill a 5000 metre RC program on the Southern Star orebody, the place earlier drilling yielded gorgeous outcomes as much as 56 grams per tonne gold.
The firm is seeking to deal with a southern extension of a look-alike magnetic excessive characteristic much like the prevailing orebody.
Located 45km north of Laverton in WA, the profitable 2021 RC program prolonged Southern Star’s identified mineralisation to greater than 700m in strike.
Results so far embrace 17m at 7.0 grams per tonne gold from 111m together with 2m going 56.7g/t gold; 59m grading 2.1 g/t gold together with 9m operating 4.5 g/t gold and 16m giving up 3.2 g/t gold from 53m; and 7m going 13.9 g/t gold together with 1m grading 91.7g/t gold from 123m.
The 2021 marketing campaign was adopted by a focused two-hole diamond drilling program late final 12 months, serving to tighten the design of the newest holes.
Great Southern added an intensive soil-testing program was underway to refine the mineralised hall additional alongside strike.
Management says you will need to be aware the realm to the north and south of the identified Southern Star mineralisation footprint has seen little to no historic exploration.
Once the mineralised hall is outlined by geochemistry, additional RC drilling will likely be deliberate to focus on contemporary rock alongside strike from the majority of the Southern Star gold mineralisation.
The current exploration success has confirmed Southern Star has all of the hallmarks of a big, mineralised gold system with 700m strike of mineralisation outlined so far, open in all instructions and at depth. The goals of this subsequent program are to discover extensions of the gold system, with the present geological proof suggesting the southern hall to be extremely potential.
Great Southern Mining can be on the hunt for nickel, additional investigating the dimensions and extent of two bedrock conductors with a follow-up fixed-loop electromagnetic survey underway at its East Laverton challenge in Western Australia.
The conductors modelled from the current moving-loop electromagnetic, or survey are thought of extremely potential for large nickel sulphide mineralisation.
One recognized anomaly spans an enormous 2km by 1km and features up with the sting of a regional gravity anomaly that Great Southern says supplies a “compelling drill target”.
Also compelling is the query as as to whether Great Southern Mining can repeat the high-grade gold hits on the Southern Star orebody from earlier exploration efforts. If it might issues might get fascinating simply north of Laverton.

Which natural testosterone boosters are best?
Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone that aids in the development of both male and female secondary sex characteristics. But in addition to these actions, testosterone also plays a role in the development of bone and muscle mass, as well as promoting fat loss and increasing overall health and well-being. For people who struggle with low testosterone levels, a natural testosterone booster can help.
Force Factor Test X180 Ignite Total Testosterone Booster is specifically formulated to increase energy levels while recovering from injury or illness. It’s a good place to start to treat low T.
What to know before you buy a natural testosterone booster
Dose
Testosterone boosters gradually improve the symptoms of low T over 30 to 60 days, but you’ll need to get the correct dose.
It’s important to talk to your doctor before you begin supplementation to make sure it’s a good choice for you. In general, follow the dosing guidelines on your supplement. Each will be different depending on the ingredients and the focus of the supplement.
Symptoms
Natural testosterone boosters utilize different formulations designed to address specific symptoms of low testosterone.
These might include:
- Insecurity and low self-esteem
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Thinning bones
- Decreased muscle mass
- Changes in mood
- Insomnia
- Sexual dysfunction
- Decreased libido
- Infertility
Because testosterone production naturally decreases by as much as 1% per year every year after age 30, some of these symptoms can start to appear in younger people. Look for natural testosterone boosters that specifically address the symptoms you are experiencing.
What to look for in a quality natural testosterone booster
Active ingredients
Look for active ingredients that are proven to increase testosterone production and relieve symptoms of low T.
These include:
- Ginger: Among other actions, ginger reduces oxidative stress and boosts production of testosterone. Ginger is also anti-inflammatory and may aid in recovery after injury.
- Rhodiola: Rhodiola suppresses cortisol production and can relieve mood disorders (i.e., anxiety and depression) linked to low T.
- Tongkat ali: Also known as tung saw, longifolia, pasak bumi, eurycoma and longjack, this herb can boost testosterone levels and relieve symptoms of aging.
- Horny goat weed: Chinese medicine refers to horny goat weed as yin yang huo. It’s used to increase blood flow to the genitals. Women may also take it but phytoestrogens in the plant can lead to bone loss and should be used with caution.
- Ashwagandha: This powerful adaptogen has been shown in double-blind trials to relieve fatigue, increase vigor and promote sexual and psychological well-being in men with the symptoms of low T.
- Fenugreek seed: Clinical reviews of fenugreek seed and its effect of testosterone found that it dramatically increased testosterone production and improved libido.
- Tribulus terrestris: Tribulus terrestris is best used with other plants to boost testosterone production. It is important to note that some supplements of this plant have been found to be contaminated with steroids.
No fillers
Look for supplements that contain no fillers or binders. Some of these substances are relatively harmless, like starches, but others come with long chemical names and compositions that can affect the performance of other active ingredients.
Non-GMO
Non-GMO active ingredients are chemical-free and the best choice for a natural testosterone booster. They are also preservative-free and have no toxins that can be harmful with long-term use.
Third-party tested
Because supplements are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration, it’s important that whichever one you choose has been third-party tested for best practices in manufacturing, processing and packaging.
No allergens
At a minimum, your supplements should be free of common allergens like corn, gluten, dairy or soy. If you are limiting or restricting animal products, look for a vegan or vegetarian label.
How much you can expect to spend on a natural testosterone booster
A month’s supply will cost $9-$50, depending on the potency of the booster.
Natural testosterone booster FAQ
How long does it take to see results?
A. Improving your health with natural supplements is good for your body, but it may take a while to see results. When starting with natural testosterone boosters, allow yourself at least 30 to 60 days on the supplement to see if there are any changes.
If you don’t see any changes, you may need to try another supplement or increase the dose. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Are natural testosterone boosters safe?
A. Whenever you add a supplement to your diet, it’s important to talk to your doctor. They can help you determine what supplement might work best for your symptoms and verify that there will be no drug potential interactions.
That said, although natural testosterone boosters are generally recognized as safe, the risk of side effects is always present.
These might include:
- Increased aggression
- Acne
- Digestive upset
- Hair loss
- Abdominal pain
- Allergies to active ingredients
- Development of breasts
Severe side effects are rare and vary depending on the active ingredients.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hallaron, a full-service advertising and branding agency in The Woodlands, Texas has begun using digital advertising platforms to serve smaller, local political advertisers. The advantage is using microtargeted geographic and behavioral factors to serve highly custom display and video ads to local voters. The results point to more efficient campaigns that can get better results even with monthly ad spends less than $10,000.
Through a collaborative partnership with Vici Media Inc., based in Philiadelphia, PA, Hallaron began using sophisticated digital platforms including precise targeting tools to serve ads among local county and even city elections in early 2022 primaries. Often reserved for larger business or political clients, Hallaron uses the same big-client ad tools to shape strategy for smaller local low budget campaigns. Often the focus is replacing older marketing thinking with smarter targeting that serves ads to local voters using cell phones and social media instead of billboards or direct mail.
"Our new political campaigns aim to serve voters with ads where they consume daily news and entertainment – that's through their mobile phones and the Internet," explains agency principal Mike Hallaron.
Statista reports that mobile media usage in the United States is set to increase to four hours and 29 minutes per day in 2022. Compare that time with traditional drive time and radio listening, print, or TV viewership.
Because of lengthy Covid-19 shutdowns, Hallaron says many Americans extended their digital and mobile reliance even further – turning to these devices for business, shopping, and reaching the world beyond their front door.
Direct mail is still popular in most small market political races where access to new digital techniques lags behind. Inexpensive yard signs are still widely used but limited. Digital and mobile ads include links to landing pages where voters can watch a candidates videos, read a bio, or review her platform positions on local issues. "When you add a well-executed social strategy on Facebook, the frequency and reach for a small campaign can be game-changing," Hallaron says.
Hallaron's digital partner Vici Media works with nearly 200 ad agencies and media companies in the U.S., serving 3 billion digital ad impressions annually. The company was named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 in 2020. Hallaron sees more clients educating themselves about creative digital media strategies, such as geofencing, mobile conquesting and social mirroring techniques, for example.
Hallaron Advertising Agency is an award-winning full-service ad agency in The Woodlands, Texas. Since 2003, Hallaron has helped reshape winning brands and mastered creative advertising campaigns that lead to better sales and business growth for their clients. Visit www.hallaron.com to learn more.

7 in 10 Americans polled support ban on Russian oil even if higher prices result
More than 70 percent of Americans surveyed in a new poll say the Biden administration should ban Russian oil over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, even if it leads to higher gas prices in the U.S.
The Quinnipiac poll found that 71 percent of respondents supported a ban on Russian oil, including 66 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of Democrats.
Slightly more than 1 in 5 respondents — 22 percent — were opposed and 7 percent did not know or did not answer.
Congress could vote on legislation banning Russian oil within days, as support for the initiative appears to be growing.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), for example, has said she is “all for it.”
President Biden’s administration had initially been opposed to a ban on imports from the world’s third-largest oil producer amid soaring domestic gas prices. But as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine intensifies, administration officials have softened their position.
The president is expected to announce Tuesday that the U.S. will ban Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports in response to the invasion.
Western nations have slapped Russia with numerous sanctions that have punished the country’s economy; however, most Americans in the new poll say the measures imposed by the U.S. have not been strong enough.
According to the survey, 56 percent of Americans say the U.S. has not been tough enough, while 30 percent say the Biden administration’s measures have been about right.
When asked if Biden is responding to Russia’s invasion well, Americans are more split, with 42 percent of those surveyed approving and 45 percent disapproving, including 76 percent of Republicans disapproving and 77 percent of Democrats approving.
The poll also shows that most Americans surveyed — 78 percent — support accepting Ukrainian refugees into the U.S.
And most Americans support fighting back against Russia should its forces attack a member of NATO, a security alliance that ensures an attack against one country is an attack against all.
About 79 percent of respondents support fighting Russia were it to attack a NATO ally.
The poll of 1,374 adults, conducted between March 4 and 6, has a sampling error of 2.6 percentage points.

Energy price cap rises hit, but what other costs are set to go up?
The cost of living crisis will deepen for many households as energy bills are set to skyrocket due to an increase in the price cap.
However, higher energy prices are not the only way households and businesses are set to feel the pinch.
From the start of the month, a raft of tax rises and reductions in state pandemic support will increase costs for businesses and, ultimately, lead to higher prices for their customers.
Here are the tax changes which could impact your wallets.
– VAT increases
The cost of buying a pub meal, soft drink or hotel stay could become more expensive from April as VAT levels across the hospitality sector lift back to 20%.
The industry saw VAT dropped to 5% to support its recovery during the pandemic.
It rebounded back to 12.5% in October last year as restrictions eased, but from Friday has returned to 20%.
Despite the initial fall in tax, few pub groups, restaurants and leisure businesses were able to pass on the benefits of the tax break – which covered soft drinks, food, events tickets, accommodation and other areas – to customers due the financial impact of the pandemic.
Bosses said that lengthy Covid disruption, significant debts and soaring cost inflation in recent months mean the reduced tax level has been used to help absorb costs.
However, industry chiefs, including Wetherspoon founder Tim Martin and Young’s boss Patrick Dardis, said prices would now have to increase significantly for customers as a result of reduced VAT support.
Leaders warned the Government that the VAT increase would contribute to a “cliff edge” on Friday as wages and business rates changes also come into force.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), said the VAT rate increase alone is expected to cost UK pubs more than £500 million over the next year.
UKHospitality boss Kate Nicholls said it “might prove fatal” for business owners.
– Business Rates
Retail, hospitality and leisure businesses were supported during the pandemic with financial help including a break to the business rates property tax.
The tax break in England has been steadily unwound with businesses receiving a 66% reduction of their rates up to £2 million per firm over the past nine months.
However, this has now reduced to a 50% reduction with a cap of £110,000 per business.
The reduction, and even sharper declines from previously more generous schemes elsewhere in the devolved regions, means business across the UK will face a £7.1 billion increase in rates for the year.
This could lead to firms increasing prices to help cover higher property costs.
Robert Hayton, UK president of real estate adviser Altus Group, said: “The government and devolved administrations are acting as if there hadn’t been a pandemic and seem oblivious to the cost of doing business crisis.
“The tapering off of business rates relief takes away vital breathing space for high street businesses.”
Business leaders across the retail and hospitality sectors are continuing calls for widespread reform of the business rates system, which is still linked to property valuations from 2015.
– National Insurance
On April 6, the Government’s proposed National Insurance tax rise will come into force.
Ministers have said the plan is to use the extra revenues to fund the NHS, health and social care.
It will see employees, employers and the self-employed all pay 1.25p more in the pound for NI.
For employees they would previously pay 12% on earnings up to £50,270 and 2% on anything above that. From April 6, the rate goes up to 13.25% and 3.25% respectively.
For the self-employed, rates will go up from 9% and 2% to 10.25% and 3.25%.
Payments will only be collected on wages above £9,880, although this rises to £12,570 in July – a threshold rise announced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak at the recent Spring Statement.

Rent relief helped prevent more than 1 million evictions in 2021
The federal government's emergency rental assistance program helped prevent more than one million evictions last year.
An estimated 1.36 million renters avoided an eviction filing in 2021 as a result of the government's unprecedented $46.5 billion rent relief program and other protections, according to a recent analysis by Princeton University's Eviction Lab published earlier this month.
Treasury officials reported Wednesday that $30 billion in emergency rent relief was spent or obligated by the end of February. Despite a slow and confusing initial roll out of the program last spring, more than 4.7 million payments were made to households since January 2021.
Treasury expects the remainder of the funds to be exhausted by the middle of this year.
Impact of the assistance
A national eviction ban was put in place in September 2020. While it did not stop all evictions, it significantly slowed the tide of eviction filings until the emergency aid could reach struggling renters and their landlords, White House and Department of Treasury officials said.
"We knew from the start that we faced a race with time to get the emergency rental assistance flowing to a significant degree by the time the national eviction moratorium was lifted," said Gene Sperling, the White House American Rescue Plan coordinator. "We largely won that race."
In the six states and 31 cities tracked by the Eviction Lab researchers, eviction filings fell sharply at the onset of the pandemic, but then increased in the later months of 2020 even with the ban in place. Given the increased number of renters experiencing economic hardship as the pandemic continued into 2021, experts worried about a "tsunami" of evictions and anticipated the number of filings to skyrocket above levels seen in 2019.
But the opposite happened. In a typical year, roughly 865,000 eviction cases were filed in the areas the Eviction Lab tracks. In 2021, roughly half as many evictions were filed, with 434,304 cases.
Evictions fell in all but one of the 31 cities tracked in 2021. The outlier was Las Vegas, where jobs in tourism evaporated, adversely impacting the large number of renters in the city's service sector, according to the report. New York City had the biggest reduction in eviction filings from typical levels, with the report estimating nearly 184,000 eviction cases were avoided in New York City.

The emergency rental assistance was found to have a strong impact on the low-income and majority-Black neighborhoods that see a disproportionate share of eviction cases. Those areas experienced the largest absolute reduction in eviction filings last year, the Eviction Lab report found.
The report found that in 2021 the most disadvantaged neighborhoods experienced the biggest gains in terms of rental housing stability. But it also found that, among the eviction cases filed, women of color were disproportionately affected.
More than 80% of emergency rental assistance reached the lowest income households, according to the Treasury, with about 40% of all applicants who received assistance self-identifying as Black, and about 20% self-identifying as Latino.
Moving remaining money
The federal emergency rent relief was approved in two rounds of funding. The first, which included $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act at the end of 2020, and $21.55 billion under the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021.
Some state and local governments have exhausted allotted funds while others have not distributed everything they have received. As a result, Treasury has been reallocating money to ensure it gets to renters most in need.
Of the $25 billion in the first batch of money, Treasury has already moved $2 billion in underused funds. Beginning in April, funds from the second batch will be reallocated.
This process has "allowed dollars to flow to places with high need," said Noel Poyo, Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Economic Development. "Generally reallocated funds went to higher need areas with more diverse communities."
He said he expects that trend to continue with the available funds from the second batch of money.
But it is a challenging balance to strike, Poyo said, between getting dollars to places where they are running out of funds and making sure that money is still available in places where assistance may have gotten started more slowly and people remain in need.
Treasury is encouraging state and local governments to use the additional funding to assist more renters and make continued investments in housing stability.
"In just one year, the Emergency Rental Assistance program built a national infrastructure for eviction prevention that never existed before and has helped keep eviction rates well below historic averages throughout the pandemic," said Poyo.
He also suggested state and local governments build on the network for support they have established and provide services like housing counselors, "that will help families avoid economic scarring long after COVID-19 is in the rearview mirror," he said.

MIAMI (AP) — A Florida police officer fatally shot a man who was able to arm himself after being arrested Thursday, officials said.
The shooting occurred shortly before noon at a western Miami-Dade home, according to a police news release.
Miami-Dade police officers had been assisting Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Marshals Service when they took a 53-year-old man into custody, police said. The man complained of feeling ill, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to evaluate him. During the evaluation, the man somehow armed himself, and shots were fired, officials said.
The man died at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
The shooting is being investigated by state police officials.
Police didn't immediately release the names or races of the dead man or the officer who shot him.

Driver killed pedestrian in hit-and-run, then spray-painted the car black, GA cops say
A man was arrested in Georgia after police say he hit and killed a pedestrian with his vehicle. When he was found, police say he had spray-painted his car.
Clinton Taylor, 53, was crossing a road and had almost made it across when he was struck by a vehicle on March 27 in Warner Robins, a city about 20 miles south of Macon, The Telegraph previously reported.
The driver continued traveling and did not stop to offer aid, officers said. Taylor was taken to a hospital where authorities say he later died from his injuries.
Officers were able to identify the driver a few days later as David Alvin Lord, 38 of Perry, using camera footage and assistance from the community, according to a March 31 release from the Warner Robins Police Department.
When authorities located Lord’s car, a Monte Carlo, they said it had been spray-painted black.
Lord was arrested on March 30 and was charged with felony hit-and-run. As of March 31, the man was ”released to the Houston County Detention Facility,” police said.

Images of Pluto captured by NASA's New Horizons mission while on a flyby of the dwarf planet in July 2015 are still yielding new previously unheard-of details and insights about Pluto and its moons.
In 2006 the celestial body was given dwarf planet status by the International Astronomical Union which developed a new definition for planets to which Pluto did not fit. A new analysis of the photos taken on that 2015 mission shows a region on the planet that is bumpy and doesn't appear to resemble other parts of the small dwarf planet.
Researchers said in their analysis that the region on Pluto is located southwest of Pluto's "heart" and called "Sputnik Planiti." It contains "multiple large domes" and the area rises up about 4 miles tall and is about 18 - 60 miles wide with "interconnected hills" and mounds along with depressions that cover the sides and tops of many of the formations and structures.
Kelsi Singer, senior research scientist at the Southwest Research Institute, which is located in Boulder, Colorado said, "We found a field of very large icy volcanoes that look nothing like anything else we have seen in the solar system."
Volcanic domes on the dwarf planet were studied and the two largest are called Wright Mons and Piccard Mons. Researchers say Wright Mons was determined to be similar in volume to the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, which is one of the largest on Earth.
Singer said, "The way these features look is very different than any volcanoes across the solar system, either icy examples or rocky volcanoes."
"They formed as mountains, but there is no caldera at the top, and they have large bumps all over them," she said. "This means Pluto has more internal heat than we thought it would, which means we don't fully understand how planetary bodies work."
The researchers believe the ice volcanoes were formed in multiple different eras or "episodes" and were probably active about 100 million to 200 million years ago, which is considered young in geology.

Which green wreath is best?
A green wreath has a classic aesthetic that will never go out of style. Its somewhat traditional design looks nice with many decor schemes. Whether you’re buying one for a specific holiday or for an entire season, you can find a green wreath that suits your tastes.
If you’re in need of the perfect green wreath, consider the Three Posts 24-Inch Red Berries, Pine Cones and Holly Leaves Lighted Wreath. Classic details like holly leaves and red berries give this wreath a look that’s strongly evocative of the holiday season.
What to know before you buy a green wreath
Natural vs. artificial
Live green wreaths will die after a few weeks or, at the most, a couple of months. They can also be quite expensive. While natural wreaths have a limited display time and they’re less affordable than artificial leaves, they offer certain benefits artificial wreaths do not. The pine-branch scent unique to live green wreaths is a top priority for some people and an aspect they are not willing to forgo. And to other people, even the most well-made synthetic wreaths can’t compete with the natural look of live wreaths.
That said, an exquisitely designed and constructed artificial green wreath can masterfully mimic the aesthetic of a natural wreath. Look for materials like silk, which create a more lifelike effect than materials like plastic. Synthetic wreaths also cost less than live wreaths. And you can display them year after year, because they’ll never die.
Year-round vs. seasonal
You might want to display your green wreath year-round or for the entirety of the winter, spring, summer or fall season. If this is the case, avoid wreaths with holiday-specific accents like ornaments, holly berries and mistletoe. Look for design details like ribbons, florals and white string lights instead.
Lit vs. unlit
Speaking of string lights, some green wreaths are pre-strung with them. And not just Christmas wreaths. The main benefit of a lighted wreath is the cheerful glow of the lights on the wreath itself and the surrounding area.
What to look for in a quality green wreath
Fullness
If you want a larger-than-life look from your green wreath, you should choose one with full foliage. Put simply, this means the foliage is substantial in thickness and quantity. As a result, the hole in the center will be smaller. If you prefer a more streamlined style, chances are good that you’ll favor sparse foliage.
Base material
The durability of a wreath is determined in large part by the material that composes the base. Wood and wire are used most frequently. Once the base has been constructed, pine boughs, wheat or straw are wound around it to provide camouflaging.
Type of foliage
The foliage used on a green wreath is determined by the style of the wreath. Leaves in bejeweled fall colors are perfect for autumn. Winter season-themed wreaths typically use pine boughs. And wreaths meant to display in the spring or summer often feature one or more varieties of flowers.
How much you can expect to spend on a green wreath
As stated above, natural wreaths are priced higher than artificial wreaths. A live green wreath might cost you anywhere from $80 to upward of $125. Synthetic wreaths range from $20-$100 in price.
Green wreath FAQ
What kind of design details look nice on a green wreath?
A. While the season ultimately determines the design details used, some are universal. These elements include leaves, fruit, ribbon, string lights and flowers. If you wish to display the wreath in the winter season, you might want to consider a green wreath embellished with white flocking that imitates snow.
What’s the best way to hang a green wreath?
A. You’re no longer limited to using nails to hang your wreath, although this is certainly an option. Instead, you might want to consider brick hangers, command hooks, suction cups, over-the-door wreath hangers or magnetic wreath hangers.
What’s the best green wreath to buy?
Top green wreath
Three Posts 24-Inch Red Berries, Pine Cones and Holly Leaves Lighted Wreath
What you need to know: Finished with design details that epitomize the winter holiday season, this wreath is festive yet understated.
What you’ll love: Faux red berries, pine cones and holly leaves trim the pine branch tips of this seasonal wreath. A light dusting of flocking imitates snowflakes, creating a wintry effect.

What you should consider: Quality-control issues with shipping were cited by a few buyers, who reported the wreath arrived bent out of shape.

Top green wreath for the money
The Holiday Aisle 17-Inch Pine, Magnolia and Apple Plastic Wreath
What you need to know: Red apples add a pop of color to this mini wreath, which is versatile enough to display all winter long.
What you’ll love: If you’re seeking a green wreath that has unique design details, consider this petite one. Artificial magnolia leaves and apples differ from the foliage used in the design of most wreaths. They give the wreath a look that’s suitable for the entirety of the winter season.
What you should consider: At least one buyer felt the wreath didn’t look realistic, and they were also disappointed in its small size.

Greyleigh Gold Ornaments, Gold Leaves and Pine Cones Elegance Lighted Wreath
What you need to know: Sparkling gold accents inject this wreath with rich hues that elevate the design to elegant effect.
What you’ll love: Glittering gold artificial leaves with a cutout design, along with gold ornaments and pinecones embellished with a gold finish, make this wreath glamorous. The simplicity of the lines and the deep green hue of the pine branches ground the aesthetic keep it sophisticated. One hundred clear white LED lights provide a cheerful glow.
What you should consider: A handful of buyers felt the wreath looked different in real life than it did in the image online.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland lawmakers passed a measure on Thursday to create a paid family leave program, sending the legislation to Gov. Larry Hogan.
The bill, approved by supermajority votes by Democrats who control the legislature, would enable workers to take up to 12 weeks of partially paid leave for specified personal family circumstances such as caring for a sick relative or having a baby. It would provide up to 24 weeks for a parent, if he or she has a serious health issue in the year of a child's birth.
“This has been a long time coming,” said Sen. Antonio Hayes, a Baltimore Democrat. He thanked supporters who have “come together and really advocated on behalf of Maryland families."
Republicans criticized the measure for failing to spell out how much employees and employers would have to contribute, leaving that for the state's labor department to define later. They said Democrats were rushing to get the bill to the Republican governor just to meet a deadline so lawmakers will still be in session if the bill is vetoed.
“We're pushing this bill as quick as we can to get it upstairs,” said Sen. J.B. Jennings, a Republican, who added: “We don't know the numbers ... this bill is a hot mess.”
Because lawmakers are in the last session of the four-year term, they would not have a chance to override the veto next year if they adjourn before the governor acts on legislation.
The measure would create an insurance pool. Employees and employers would contribute to fund the program. Under the bill, the state’s labor department would set contribution rates to pay for the program. Employers with fewer than 15 employees would not be required to contribute.
The measure also includes job protections to protect employees from retaliation or termination for using the leave.
Seven states and the District of Columbia have paid family and medical leave insurance programs, including California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Washington. Colorado and Oregon have approved programs that have not started yet.

OAKLAND, Calif. and TORONTO, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Harborside Inc. ("Harborside", or the "Company") (CSE: HBOR) (OTCQX: HBORF), a California-focused, vertically-integrated cannabis enterprise, is pleased to announce that it has completed the mandatory conversion of all of its issued and outstanding multiple voting shares (the "MVS") to subordinate voting shares (the "SVS") (the "Mandatory Conversion"). The Mandatory Conversion will result in each holder of MVS being entitled to 100 SVS for each MVS it holds. In addition, all warrants previously exercisable into MVS are now exercisable into SVS. The Mandatory Conversion was approved at the Special Meeting of Shareholders held February 22, 2022.
"The completion of the Mandatory Conversion represents an important milestone for the Company, as we prepare to relaunch as StateHouse Holdings," said Ed Schmults, CEO of Harborside. "Our shareholders strongly indicated their views that the Company should have only one class of shares outstanding and we are pleased to have accomplished this objective, which is also expected to increase trading liquidity and make our shares increasingly attractive to the investment community."
As a result of the Mandatory Conversion, the Company will no longer meet the definition of "foreign private issuer" under U.S. securities laws and will be required to register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the Company will eventually be subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") reporting requirements applicable to U.S. domestic companies. The SEC's reporting requirements require, among other things, Harborside's financial statements and financial data to be presented under U.S. GAAP.

The Company, through several of its subsidiaries, is indirectly involved in the manufacture, possession, use, sale, and distribution of cannabis in the recreational and medicinal cannabis marketplace in the United States. Local state laws where the Company operates permit such activities however, investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable United States federal money laundering legislation.
While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with recreational and medicinal cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under United States federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of the Company and any proceedings brought against the Company thereunder may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance.

Trump son-in-law Kushner appears before U.S. House Jan 6 committee
WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner made a "valuable" appearance on Thursday before the U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, Representative Elaine Luria, a member of the panel, said.
"It was really valuable for us to have the opportunity to speak to him," Luria told MSNBC. The Democratic representative declined to provide specifics about Kushner's appearance before the panel via videolink, but said he commented on various reports about events of the day that have already been published.
"He was able to voluntarily provide information to us to verify, substantiate, provide his own take on this different reporting," she said.
Kushner is the first close relative of the former president known to have spoken to the House Select Committee. He also served as a senior adviser in the Trump White House.
A committee spokesman declined comment.
The Select Committee has conducted hundreds of interviews in its investigation of the attack on the Capitol last year by supporters of Trump as lawmakers were poised to certify the Republican's defeat in the November 2020 presidential election by Democratic President Joe Biden.

Foreign policy experts call for ‘limited no-fly zone’ over Ukraine
A group of foreign policy experts are calling for a “limited no-fly zone” over Ukraine that would protect established safe corridors for those evacuating the country and “deter Russian bombardment” to protect civilians.
In an open letter to the Biden administration that was first reported by Politico, 27 foreign policy experts urged for a “limited No-Fly Zone over Ukraine starting with protection for humanitarian corridors that were agreed upon in talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials on Thursday.”
“What we seek is the deployment of American and NATO aircraft not in search of confrontation with Russia but to avert and deter Russian bombardment that would result in massive loss of Ukrainian lives. This is in addition to the request from Ukrainian leaders for A-10 and MIG-29 aircraft to help Ukrainians defend themselves, which we also strongly support,” the group later added.
The foreign policy experts noted that a rapid number of people were fleeing Ukraine and said that the country was facing a “severe humanitarian disaster.”
“The refrain ‘never again’ emerged in the wake of the Holocaust, and Ukrainians are wondering whether that pledge applies to them,” the group wrote. “It is time for the United States and NATO to step up their help for Ukrainians before more innocent civilians fall victim to Putin’s murderous madness.”
The letter to the Biden administration was led by U.S.-Ukraine Foundation co-founder Robert McConnell.
Other notable signatories include former NATO supreme allied commander Gen. Philip Breedlove, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor and former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has lobbied the U.S. and NATO for a no-fly zone, but is has been ruled out by the Biden administration because its enforcement would require U.S. and NATO jets to attack Russia jets that violate it.
This would create direct military conflict between the U.S. and Russia, inching the world closer to a nuclear war.
“[The] president’s been very clear about one thing all along as well, which is we’re not going to put the United States in direct conflict with Russia, not have, you know, American planes flying against Russian planes or our soldiers on the ground in Ukraine,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on ABC’s “This Week” that a no-fly zone “means World War III.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military needs to adjust its planning, training, targeting and use of weapons in order to better avoid widespread civilian deaths and damage such as the devastating 2017 battle to liberate the Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State militants, a new RAND report said Thursday.
The report requested by the Pentagon reflects criticism of the military's airstrike campaign that, according to some estimates, killed more than 1,600 civilians in Raqqa, as the U.S.-led coalition worked to destroy the Islamic State caliphate that wrested control of large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said the report, which lays out a series of recommendations to improve military procedures and strategy, will be used as the department develops its own broader plan to reduce civlian harm.
“No other military works as hard as we do to mitigate civilian harm, and yet we still cause it,” said Kirby. ”We're going to continue to try to learn from past issues.”
RAND concluded that the battle for Raqqa provided important lessons.
Michael McNerney, lead author of the RAND report, called Raqqa “a cautionary tale about civilian harm in urban combat.” He said it "should serve as an extra incentive to the DoD to strengthen its policies and procedures to mitigate, document and respond to civilian harm.”
The RAND report noted that there has been a wide range of estimated civilian casualties during the seige, but also said it believes that 60%-80% of Raqqa was left uninhabitable by the time the city was liberated in October 2017.
Initially the U.S.-led coalition estimted that it was responsible for 38 incidents involving 240 civilian casualties — including 178 who were killed. A consortium of local Syrian and international groups, including Amnesty International and Airwars, put the number of casualties at a “high estimate” of 1,600, but said that about 774 of them could specifically be “verified” by data as the result of coalition action.
The report makes it clear that several thousand more civilians likely died, based on the number of bodies uncovered by U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, but many were probably killed by IS or other fighters on the ground.
“Our report focuses on U.S. actions in Raqqa, but the actions of the Syrian government and its Russian and Iranian partners undoubtedly contributed far more to civilian harm and suffering in Syria overall,” McNerney said.
The report noted that the challenges in Raqqa were compounded by limits on the number U.S. troops that could be there, as well as where they could be positioned. U.S. troops on the ground could have provided better targeting and civilian information, including on Islamic State militants' efforts to use civilians as human shields, the report said.
RAND recommended that the U.S. military provide more extensive training and guidance on the need to avoid civilian harm, and plan and execute operations in ways to achieve those goals. Changes could include improved planning, better assessments of potential collateral damage, increased mission rehearsals, improved intelligence gathering, and more selective use of air strikes and munitions that minimize bomb fragmentation.

Miami federal judge rules in favor of city after mural of Black man killed by police is removed
The mural of 22-year-old Raymond Herisse was part of a gallery exhibition at an art fair held over Memorial Day weekend in 2019
The city of Miami Beach has won a legal battle over the removal of a portrait of a Black man killed in a high-profile police shooting in 2011.
The mural of 22-year-old Raymond Herisse was reportedly part of a gallery exhibition at an art fair held over Memorial Day weekend in 2019, Miami Herald reports. The city ordered the removal because it was “divisive” and “inaccurate.” The artists who helped organize the event accused the city of censorship and sued, but a federal judge sided with Miami Beach on the matter.
Per the Herald, in her ruling on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke concluded that the art fair constituted “government speech,” including the Herisse portrait.
The artists signed a contract with the city agreeing that all art installations would be subject to city approval. Four artists and curators sued the city in 2020 over the removal of the portrait, arguing in court documents that they never would have agreed to compromise their artistic expression by allowing the city to vet their work.
Herisse was killed on the last day of Urban Beach Week 2011, the Memorial Day weekend when Miami Beach is flooded with mostly-Black African American visitors from out of state.
His death occurred during a wild traffic incident on Collins Avenue, after his Hyundai reportedly bumped into several parked cars while driving the wrong way, and hit an officer on a bike, prompting police to open fire. According to the Miami Herald, “an autopsy report showed Herisse’s blood-alcohol content level was twice the legal limit to drive.”
Witnesses claim that police continued to shoot even after the car finally stopped.
Twelve officers fired 116 bullets into Herisse’s vehicle striking him 16 times. He died at the scene. Several innocent bystanders were also injured by stray police bullets. The shooting garnered national attention.
Three of the four shooting victims joined the Herisse family in filing civil lawsuits. They all ultimately agreed to financial settlements totaling $200,000, as state law limits damages to $200,000 per incident, according to the report. Herisse’s mother, Marcelline Azor, received $87,500 for her son’s death.
Cedrick Perkins was reportedly shot near his heart and received $15,000. Sarah Garcia, who was shot twice, was awarded $55,000 and Carlson St. Louis, who was awarded $42,500, was struck once by a police bullet.
“They could give me millions and millions of dollars, but there was no justice,” Azor said in a 2015 interview, as reported by the Herald. “No one went to prison. No one was punished.”
“This was not a routine stop of an individual who had committed a traffic violation,” prosecutors wrote in an 87-page final memo detailing the shooting. “The surrounding officers obviously and correctly viewed this as a dangerous and potentially desperate suspect.”
An initial search of Herisse’s car turned up no weapons but later police claimed they found a gun wrapped in a towel under a car seat.
The case prompted policy changes within the Miami Police Department. Cops can no longer “treat a moving car as a deadly weapon,” per the Miami Herald, or shoot inside a vehicle unless an occupant “displays a weapon or fires first.”
The policy went into effect in October 2014.

H5N1 flu outbreak confirmed on Belgian farm
An outbreak of the extremely pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, additionally
often known as chook flu, has been detected in a poultry farm in Meulebeke
within the province of West Flanders, Belgium, based on an official
report printed Wednesday by the Federal Agency for the Safety of
the Food Chain (AFSCA), Trend reviews citing Xinhua.
For safety causes, chickens raised on the farm have been
culled, confirmed the report.
Measures in accordance with European and Belgian laws
have been taken to comprise the unfold of the virus, corresponding to
establishing a safety zone with a radius of three kilometers
and a surveillance zone with a radius of 10 kilometers.
Within these two areas, extra measures to these in place
all through the nation are being taken to counter the chook flu
virus.
Moving poultry and different birds, in addition to hatching eggs, is
prohibited, apart from transit by way of the world.
If a farmer notices any signal of illness amongst his poultry or
birds, the AFSCA has beneficial {that a} veterinarian be
consulted.

Scientists finally finish decoding entire human genome
Scientists say they have finally assembled the full genetic blueprint for human life, adding the missing pieces to a puzzle nearly completed two decades ago.
Related video above: How Your DNA Data Can Be Used Against You
An international team described the first-ever sequencing of a complete human genome – the set of instructions to build and sustain a human being – in research published Thursday in the journal Science. The previous effort, celebrated across the world, was incomplete because DNA sequencing technologies of the day weren't able to read certain parts of it. Even after updates, it was missing about 8% of the genome.
“Some of the genes that make us uniquely human were actually in this ‘dark matter of the genome’ and they were totally missed,” said Evan Eichler, a University of Washington researcher who participated in the current effort and the original Human Genome Project. “It took 20-plus years, but we finally got it done.”
Many — including Eichler's own students — thought it had been finished already. “I was teaching them, and they said, 'Wait a minute. Isn’t this like the sixth time you guys have declared victory? I said, ’No, this time we really, really did it!”
Scientists said this full picture of the genome will give humanity a greater understanding of our evolution and biology while also opening the door to medical discoveries in areas like aging, neurodegenerative conditions, cancer and heart disease.
“We’re just broadening our opportunities to understand human disease,” said Karen Miga, an author of one of the six studies published Thursday.
The research caps off decades of work. The first draft of the human genome was announced in a White House ceremony in 2000 by leaders of two competing entities: an international publicly funded project led by an agency of the U.S. National Institutes of Health and a private company, Maryland-based Celera Genomics.
The human genome is made up of about 3.1 billion DNA subunits, pairs of chemical bases known by the letters A, C, G and T. Genes are strings of these lettered pairs that contain instructions for making proteins, the building blocks of life. Humans have about 30,000 genes, organized in 23 groups called chromosomes that are found in the nucleus of every cell.
Before now, there were "large and persistent gaps that have been in our map, and these gaps fall in pretty important regions,” Miga said.
Miga, a genomics researcher at the University of California-Santa Cruz, worked with Adam Phillippy of the National Human Genome Research Institute to organize the team of scientists to start from scratch with a new genome with the aim of sequencing all of it, including previously missing pieces. The group, named after the sections at the very ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, is known as the Telomere-to-Telomere, or T2T, consortium.
Their work adds new genetic information to the human genome, corrects previous errors and reveals long stretches of DNA known to play important roles in both evolution and disease. A version of the research was published last year before being reviewed by scientific peers.
“This is a major improvement, I would say, of the Human Genome Project,” doubling its impact, said geneticist Ting Wang of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who was not involved in the research.
Eichler said some scientists used to think unknown areas contained “junk." Not him. "Some of us always believed there was gold in those hills," he said. Eichler is paid by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which also supports The Associated Press's health and science department.
Turns out that gold includes many important genes, he said, such as ones integral to making a person's brain bigger than a chimp's, with more neurons and connections.
To find such genes, scientists needed new ways to read life's cryptic genetic language.
Reading genes requires cutting the strands of DNA into pieces hundreds to thousands of letters long. Sequencing machines read the letters in each piece and scientists try to put the pieces in the right order. That's especially tough in areas where letters repeat.
Scientists said some areas were illegible before improvements in gene sequencing machines that now allow them to, for example, accurately read a million letters of DNA at a time. That allows scientists to see genes with repeated areas as longer strings instead of snippets that they had to later piece together.
Researchers also had to overcome another challenge: Most cells contain genomes from both mother and father, confusing attempts to assemble the pieces correctly. T2T researchers got around this by using a cell line from one “complete hydatidiform mole," an abnormal fertilized egg containing no fetal tissue that has two copies of the father’s DNA and none of the mother’s.
The next step? Mapping more genomes, including ones that include collections of genes from both parents. This effort did not map one of the 23 chromosomes that is found in males, called the Y chromosome, because the mole contained only an X.
Wang said he’s working with the T2T group on the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, which is trying to generate “reference," or template, genomes for 350 people representing the breadth of human diversity.
“Now we’ve gotten one genome right and we have to do many, many more,” Eichler said. “This is the beginning of something really fantastic for the field of human genetics.”

Shark vacuum review
Pets bring much to our lives — including extra messes. Pet parents need vacuums that have the added power necessary to clean up hair, dander and dirt trodden in on paws, and even though a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner can do the trick, it isn’t always necessary.
Shark claims its Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum offers power and versatility in a lightweight package. The company says it can tackle dirt deeply embedded in carpets and makes cleaning stairs and upholstery easy in the handheld mode.
We tested the Shark Rocket Pet Plus to see if there’s truth to these claims and if this vacuum is worth the buy.
Testing the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum
At BestReviews, we know that testing out a product for a couple of hours isn’t the same as using it day in, day out. That’s why we send products to our group of testers to use them over an extended period, test out the manufacturer’s claims and see how they really perform.
We sent the Shark Rocket Pet Plus to a tester who lives in a three-bedroom home with a short-haired dog. Our tester usually uses a Dyson V8 Animal vacuum, so they were able to compare it to another big brand. They tried it out for two weeks before reporting their findings.
What is the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum?
The Rocket Pet Plus is a stick vacuum, which is a type of lightweight vacuum cleaner. We found it extremely lightweight and modern compared to traditional upright vacuums. It converts into a hand vacuum for smaller cleaning tasks, stairs and upholstery. It’s also specifically designed as a pet vacuum and comes with a range of tools to make it easier to clean up after pets.
Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum price and where to buy
The Shark Rocket Pet Plus costs around $180 and is available at Amazon.
How to use the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum
We found this Shark vacuum extremely easy to set up. It comes in three parts: the body, the stick and the cleaning head. All you need to do is fit one end of the stick to the body and the other end to the cleaning head and you’re ready to go. You can also set it up as a handheld vacuum by attaching the cleaning head or another cleaning tool directly to the body without the stick.
As it’s a corded vacuum, it must be plugged into an outlet before you can start vacuuming. It has just two modes to choose from, labeled I and II: I is a less powerful mode that we used for hard floors and II is a more powerful mode that we used for carpeted areas.
Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum benefits
Maneuverability
We found this lightweight vacuum highly maneuverable. We had no problems navigating around furniture and squeezing the cleaning head into tight corners to get the best clean possible. It was just as lightweight and easy to maneuver as the Dyson V8 Animal, although lacking the convenience of being cordless.
Suction power
The suction power was good and we experienced no issues cleaning up the hair from a short-coated dog on both carpets and hard flooring. There’s an indicator light that turns red if there are any clogs, so it’s easy to solve issues that might affect suction power as they arise.
Cleaning modes
You can select between two cleaning modes. Mode I is a standard powered mode, while mode II gives you an extra boost. Although mode I is supposed to be for hard floors and mode II for carpet, we found both worked well for carpets and hard floors, so it’s more dependent on whether you need extra power.
LED headlights
The LED headlights illuminate your cleaning path to help you see dirt. This is especially useful in low-light conditions or for cleaning under furniture.
XL dust cup
While it isn’t as large as the dust cups you’d find on upright vacuums or in canister models, it has a large capacity for a stick vacuum, so you don’t need to empty it too often while cleaning. We found it easy to empty, especially when you remove the body of the vacuum from the stick.
Handheld mode
The handheld mode is great for tackling stairs, upholstery and for spot cleaning. It’s easy to convert into a hand vacuum and back into its regular configuration again, so it’s not a huge ordeal if you want to switch modes during a cleaning session. You can use the regular cleaning head or the other cleaning attachments in handheld mode.
Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum drawbacks
Power cord
Although the power cord is long enough to vacuum large rooms without unplugging it and moving to another outlet, it’s still a pain to switch outlets when you clean your whole home and to coil it up when you’re done. We must say we prefer the convenience of a cordless vacuum, but many buyers are happy to stick with corded options to save money.
Loudness
This is a loud vacuum cleaner. We had the TV playing in the background while cleaning, and it was inaudible over the sound of the vacuum. The lower-powered mode I is somehow louder than the higher-powered mode II.
Top-heavy
We didn’t like the fact that it’s so top-heavy that you can’t leave it standing up if you take a break from cleaning. Even the best stick vacuum has this problem, so it isn’t unique to this one. However, some have sticks that fold in the center so they’ll balance standing or have rest notches to make leaning them easier, which are features this model lacks.
Should you get the Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum?
It might not be the best Shark vacuum of all time, but the Shark Rocket Pet Plus is a good stick vacuum at an affordable price. If you’d rather not pay the premium for a cordless model, it’s an excellent choice, but some buyers long for the convenience of going cord-free. Of course, not every vacuum is right for every buyer, but this one is a solid mid-range option for homes with pets.

EU prepares new sanctions against Russia, Belarus: report
A new sanctions package against Russia and Belarus has been prepared by the European Commission and is set to be discussed Tuesday morning, Reuters reported, citing three sources.
The sanctions are set to add oligarchs and lawmakers from the Russian Parliament’s upper house to a European Union blacklist, one source told the news outlet.
The people said the sanctions also include prohibiting naval equipment and software exports from the EU to Russia and adding three Belarusian banks to be banned from the SWIFT international banking system, among other aspects.
The EU executive has adopted the draft sanctions and European Union ambassadors are scheduled to meet to discuss the package, one source told Reuters.
The sanctions package would mark the first time the EU has banned Belarusian banks from SWIFT; seven Russian banks have already been banned from SWIFT from the EU, the news outlet noted.
The report comes as the governments and businesses continue to try to isolate Russia and its ally Belarus whom officials believe is complicit in Russia’s invasion, economically. President Biden is set to announce Tuesday that the U.S. is banning Russian imports of oil, natural gas and coal.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers has signaled that they would be in favor of banning Russian oil and energy imports despite the likelihood of higher gas prices.
“We are going to see price increases,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said last week. “Nobody wants to see that. And this is going to hurt. But we all need to recognize Europe is in the midst of a war with Russia now. Innocent people are dying, children are dying. We have not been in as volatile as a situation as anytime in my life. And so we are looking right now from a very short window.”
The Hill has reached out to the European Commission for comment.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt on Thursday named a longtime state prosecutor to the state’s Pardon and Parole Board.
Stitt announced Cathy Stocker would succeed Kelly Doyle, who abruptly resigned from the board earlier this month.
In January, Stitt appointed Edward Konieczny, a former police officer and ex-president of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, to succeed Adam Luck on the panel. Luck said then that the governor wanted someone more aligned with his support of the death penalty.
Stitt, who faces reelection this year, has come under fire from dark-money groups who have run ads portraying the first-term governor as soft on crime. In particular, the ads reference Stitt's mass commutation of more than 450 inmates released from prison on a single day in 2019.
Stocker served as district attorney for Blaine, Canadian, Garfield, Grant and Kingfisher counties for nearly 30 years before retiring in 2010. Stocker is now one of two former prosecutors on the five-member board.

U.S. House approves bill setting strict cap on insulin costs
By Richard Cowan and Ahmed Aboulenein
WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - The high cost of insulin to treat diabetes would be drastically reduced under legislation the U.S. House of Representatives passed on Thursday, in a rare example of drug price reform gaining traction in Congress.
By a vote of 232-193, with few Republicans supporting the measure, the House approved the bill that would cap patients' out-of-pocket costs at $35 a month for their insulin.
Currently, monthly supplies of the life-sustaining medicine average around $375 and can go as high as $1,000, causing some people to skip needed doses.
"No one should have to ration their insulin to help reduce costs and risk their health and in some cases actually cost them their lives," said Democratic Representative Frank Pallone, who chairs a committee that oversees health policy, during House debate.
The legislation would still have to be considered by the Senate, which is crafting a much broader bill.
The Democratic-led effort, if successful, could have far wider ramifications for lowering prescription drug costs - a goal supported by Americans in the run-up to the Nov. 8 congressional elections, according to public opinion polls.
"It is for us a step in the direction of the secretary (of Health and Human Services) being able to negotiate drug prices beyond insulin," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at her weekly news conference on Thursday.
Three companies, Sanofi SA, Eli Lilly and Co , and Novo Nordisk, have long dominated the U.S. insulin market. The trio own some 90% of the market for insulin, which was invented in the 1920s but continues to rise in cost to consumers.
More than 34 million people in the United States have diabetes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most have type 2, which typically does not require insulin to control blood sugar but can. Nearly 1.9 million Americans with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day.
Medicare, the U.S. government health insurance program for those age 65 and older and the disabled, could have saved more than $16.7 billion from 2011 to 2017 on insulin purchases had it been allowed to negotiate discounts with drug companies, according to a congressional report released last December.
Republican Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers dismissed the legislation as a "government drug-pricing scheme; part of a socialized medicine approach that would lead to fewer cures" while raising health insurance premiums. (Reporting by Richard Cowan and Ahmed Aboulenein; Editing by Bill Berkrot)

Fort Pierce man accused of firing on St. Lucie County deputies in 2018 traffic stop convicted by jury
FORT PIERCE — A Fort Pierce man accused in a 2018 shootout involving St. Lucie County sheriff’s deputies was convicted by a jury Thursday of multiple felonies, according to a state prosecutor.
Jose Nava, 23, faces a mandatory life prison term for charges related to a 3-minute pursuit through the Orange Blossom Estates community while fleeing a traffic stop that ended with four sheriff’s vehicles shot more than 30 times with an automatic rifle.
Records show Nava, who authorities referred to as a gang member, fired multiple rounds, damaging patrol cruisers, but did not strike the deputies, Sheriff Ken Mascara said. One deputy was treated for minor injuries as a result of the pursuit.
Shooting incident: Traffic stop leads to multiple St. Lucie County Sheriff's vehicles shot
Shots fired: Two Fort Pierce men charged in 2018 shootout with St. Lucie deputies
After a jury was dismissed Thursday in a trial that began Monday, Mascara said in the past few years, his agency has witnessed an increase in violent encounters against law enforcement officers.
“This incident … is one of the most violent encounters we can ever remember occurring in St. Lucie County,” Mascara said. “I am so proud of my deputies’ actions in neutralizing this violent event. They acted without hesitation and with extreme valor, the whole time while taking fire.”
Mascara said Nava fired an estimated 150 rounds at law enforcement officers during the brief chase.
What happened during the traffic stop?
Sheriff's officials at the time said the incident started at 19th Street and Virginia Avenue in Fort Pierce at 2:42 p.m. when a deputy attempted to make a "routine traffic stop" on a Honda Civic driven by Eduardo Ramirez, 25, of Fort Pierce, and Nava as a passenger.
After the Honda drove off, pursuing deputies came under fire. Mascara said he was en route to render first aid to a deputy at the scene when he also came under fire and entered the chase.
Nava continued to shoot at sheriff's vehicles, eventually throwing a rifle out of the car window once it was emptied of ammunition.
Deputies rammed the Honda and stopped it at Edwards Road and Sunrise Boulevard, less than 2 miles from where the chase began.
“I am profoundly thankful that neither one of my deputies nor anyone from our community were injured during this reckless and violent rampage,” Mascara said. “I’m also thankful for our assisting state attorneys for bringing this case to justice and the jury who convicted Nava of the charges.”
After court, Assistant State Attorney Anastasia Norman said the jury “clearly recognized the dangerous actions of the defendant with their verdict.
“Jose Nava opened fire on St. Lucie County deputies in broad daylight,” she said.
Nava’s convictions included one count of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer with a firearm while masked; attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer with a firearm; two counts of attempted second-degree murder with a firearm; fleeing to elude law enforcement; possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; and two drug-related offenses.
At his April 19 sentencing, Norman said Nava faces two automatic terms of life in prison.
A codefendant, Eduardo Ramirez, 25, who has pleaded not guilty to nearly identical charges, is due in court April 27. It’s unclear when his trial will begin.

Hail the Short Kings: plenty of my favourite men aren’t tall
This 12 months’s Oscars have been dominated by a slap, however there was one other revolution occurring quietly within the background. The Short King Spring.
Short Kings – males 5′8 (172 centimetres) and beneath – have been celebrated on TikTook for some time. Nicole Kidman has lengthy been concerned with brief males. But when Tom Holland (5′8) stepped out with Zendaya (5′10) on the Oscars, and as Joe Jonas (5′7) walked the pink carpet with Sophie Turner (5′9), Short King Spring started trending.
Short males (and the ladies who love them), it’s your time to shine. I’ve lengthy been a champion of the brief man. My father is one, my ex-husband is one, and our son is one too. (These latter two details are in all probability associated.)
I’ve by no means had an issue relationship males my top – I’m solely 5′3½ (162 centimetres) – or perhaps a tad shorter. When I used to be on the relationship scene after my divorce (which, for the file, had nothing to do with my husband’s top), I used to be astonished by how obsessed ladies have been with tallness.
Short males discover it troublesome to get dates, which is why so a lot of them fudge their top on their relationship profiles. Men 5′7 or 5′8 are inclined to spherical as much as 5′10; males who declare to be 5′7 are inevitably a lot shorter. This deal with top is bizarre anti-feminist nonsense that mirrors the stress on ladies to be skinny: we would like males to take up as a lot house as doable, and ladies to take up as little.
Loading
But top has nothing to do with a person’s potential as a life accomplice, until you propose to dwell in a home with extraordinarily excessive cabinets. And in my expertise of relationships with each brief and tall males (there’s a full foot – 30 centimetres – between the shortest and tallest), there is no such thing as a correlation between top and every other bodily measurement. Tall males put on greater T-shirts; that’s the one distinction I’ve discovered.
Now, my present accomplice is tall, which is extraordinarily good when he lifts me on his shoulders at music festivals. As we don’t go to music festivals (and he has a nasty again) it appears unlikely that we are going to ever exploit this marvellous benefit. I really like him regardless of the truth that I’ve to crane my neck to speak to him, not due to it.
To restrict your self to relationship males taller than you is to probably miss out on a brief king. And moreover, as a buddy of mine as soon as mentioned of her a lot shorter boyfriend: it doesn’t matter whenever you’re mendacity down.

MIAMI (AP) — A Florida police officer fatally shot a man who was able to arm himself after being arrested Thursday, officials said.

Type of grinder
A coffee maker with a grinder can come with one of two types of grinders: blade or burr.
- Blade: Blade grinders are the most economical choice and the simplest to operate. Two or more blades spin to grind the coffee. These blades get the job done, but they can produce inconsistent results. Some coffee beans come out finely ground, while others might remain nearly whole.
- Burr: Grinders are the choice of coffee connoisseurs. Two abrasive grinding surfaces called burrs rub the coffee together between them to grind it. This type of grinder is more expensive, but the results are more consistent and produce a delicious cup of coffee every time.
Drip coffee vs. espresso
Once you decide which type of grinder you want your coffee maker to include, you’ll need to decide whether you want drip coffee or espresso. This is largely a matter of preference, but it’s also a matter of time. Drip coffee can be made with less hands-on time, but espresso requires more attention.
In addition, drip coffee makers make hot coffee for a crowd, but espresso makers can only produce enough for one or two drinks at a time. Espresso is stronger and may not be to the taste of casual coffee drinkers.
Capacity
The capacity of your coffee maker varies depending on whether or not it produces drip coffee or espresso, as well as the size of each of these machines. It’s possible to get a single-serve drip coffee maker with a built-in grinder, and you can also find espresso machines that pull two or more shots at once.
Which you select depends on the number of coffee drinkers in your household, plus the amount of counter or storage space you have. Large espresso machines take up more real estate than a simple drip coffee maker.
What to look for in a quality coffee maker with a grinder
Grind settings
When you’re investing in a coffee maker with a grinder, make sure it has enough grind settings to suit your tastes and the coffee you’re making. If you aren’t particular, a single grind setting may work for you, but for those who like to vary the strength of their coffee, look for different settings such as extra-fine, fine, medium, medium-coarse and coarse. These allow you to customize the strength and flavor of your brew.
Carafe
Carafes are most common with drip coffee makers. Coffee brews directly into a carafe, which keeps it hot for hours. The benefit of a carafe is that the coffee won’t continue to cook on a heated plate.
Timer
There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The best coffee makers with grinders come with a timer that can be programmed the night before to freshly grind beans and brew coffee before you get out of bed.
Auto shutoff
The auto shutoff feature is great for those days when you sleep through the alarm (and the sound of coffee grinding). It’s a safety feature that also protects your coffee from burning and ruining the pot.
Water filter
High-quality coffee makers use filtered water to preserve the subtle flavors of the coffee without interference from any minerals or additives in tap water. If you don’t want to use bottled water to make coffee, look for a coffee maker that features a built-in water filter.
How much you can expect to spend on a coffee maker with a grinder
The price range for coffee makers with grinders is wide and depends on the type of coffee you make, the grinder and other features. Expect to spend $70-$600 or more.
Coffee maker with grinder FAQ
Do freshly ground beans really make a difference?
A. Yes. Different coffee varieties have subtle differences in flavor and even texture that are lost when beans are ground and prepackaged in the grocery store. These grocery store ground coffee beans can be months old, and even sealed, they begin to lose their subtle flavor quickly. Grinding only the amount of beans you need each day for coffee ensures that the freshness, flavor and aroma of your coffee is preserved.
Grinding your own coffee at home also allows you to control the fineness of the grind so you can customize your cup to your specific tastes.
How do you store coffee beans?
A. Coffee beans begin to deteriorate in the presence of moisture, air and light. To keep them fresh longer, invest in an opaque, airtight canister. Store this canister in a cool, dark place (i.e. a cabinet or the top shelf of your fridge). Don’t leave coffee beans out on the counter or next to the stove. The light and heat will cause them to break down quickly.
Without storage in an airtight container, your coffee beans will only last for a week or two before losing their flavor.

Russia demands apology from Ireland after man drives through gates of embassy in Dublin
Russia demanded an apology from Ireland on Tuesday after an Irish man drove a truck through the Russian Embassy in Dublin to protest the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Brian McElduff, the Irish ambassador to Russia, and demanded an apology for the incident, according to a statement on the website translated by Google.
“We emphasized that the demonstrators who surrounded our Embassy adopted, in fact, the tactics widely used by terrorists,” the statement said. “They demanded from the leadership of Ireland an official apology for what had happened and full compensation for the damage caused.”
“We also expect the authorities of this country to conduct an objective investigation and punish the perpetrators,” the statement continued.
On Monday, Desmond Wisley drove his truck through the gates of the Russian Embassy and handed out photos to other protesters showing what Russian forces were doing in Ukraine.
“I want the ambassador and his colleagues to leave this country, leave this free country,” Wisely told the crowd, according to the Irish Times. “It’s about time we stood up.”
Wisley was arrested and the Russian Embassy in Ireland condemned the incident, calling it “insanity” and saying a gate was torn off at the embassy.
Officials said they would contact Irish authorities to discuss safety measures.
“The incident is cause of extreme concern,” the embassy wrote in a statement on Twitter. “We believe that no people of sound mind could support such senseless and barbaric actions.”
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked mass protests across the globe and has drawn widespread condemnation.
More than two million refugees have fled Ukraine and reports are circulating of Russian forces shelling cities and cutting off humanitarian corridors. The International Court of Justice is expected to hear a trial on Russian human rights abuses.
Ireland and Russia also clashed in February after Russian naval exercises were planned near the Irish exclusive economic zone. Russia eventually moved the drills outside of the zone.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee man was convicted Thursday in two stabbing deaths outside a Nashville bar in 2019.
Michael Mosley was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths, attempted first-degree murder in the stabbing of another man left blind in one eye and assault of another, The Tennessean reported.
College students Clayton Beathard, 22, and Paul Trapeni III, 21, were killed Dec. 21, 2019, at The Dogwood bar.
Deputy District Attorney Amy Hunter and Assistant District Attorney Jan Norman said Mosley escalated a comment from one of the group’s friends to a fistfight and he was the only one to pull a knife.
Defense lawyer Ken Quillen argued that Mosley was acting in self-defense .
Beathard was the brother of NFL quarterback C.J. Beathard and musician Tucker Beathard, son of country music songwriter Casey Beathard and grandson of NFL Hall of Famer Bobby Beathard.
Trapeni was a student at Rhodes College in Memphis.

Young female athletes at Glenburn Elementary are set to tryout for this season’s baseball team
Baseball season tryouts are in full swing, and the Glenburn Elementary School baseball team is turning heads with its decision to allow female athletes an opportunity to join the team.
Grace Dufour, an eighth-grader at Glenburn Elementary School, was met with resistance when she expressed wanting to play on the school’s baseball team.
At first, the school told Dufour that she couldn’t play a boy’s sport, despite the Maine Principal’s Association allowing high school girls to play baseball.
After school discussions, Dufour and other Glenburn female students now have their chance to try out for the team.
Dufour played softball at Glenburn last year but prefers pitching overhand in baseball.
“I don't think your gender should tell you that you're not allowed to play a certain sport because you are born that way,” Dufour said. “If you're a girl wanting to try out for a boys' team, then you should have the chance to, and if you're a boy you should be able to try out for a girls' team."
Not all her potential teammates are fully supportive of this notion of having a girl on the team, but Dufour says the coaching staff is giving her a fair chance. She speculates it may be awkward at first, but she is grateful to tryout on Monday,

GRAINS-Soybeans hit 1-month low on U.S. acreage view, corn futures climb
By Julie Ingwersen
CHICAGO, March 31 (Reuters) - U.S. soybean futures fell to their lowest in a month on Thursday after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) projected that farmers would plant the most acres on record to the oilseed this spring while reducing corn acres.
Corn futures rose on the acreage outlook, with the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) December contract, which represents the 2022 corn harvest, setting a life-of-contract high.
CBOT May soybeans settled down 45-3/4 cents at $16.18-1/4 per bushel after dipping to $16.13-1/2, its lowest since Feb. 28. Most-active May corn ended up 10-3/4 cents at $7.48-3/4 a bushel, paring gains after surging to $7.70 after the USDA's figures were released.
CBOT wheat futures closed lower, sagging late in the session, but Minneapolis Grain Exchange spring wheat futures ended higher after the USDA's spring wheat plantings figure fell below analyst expectations.
Benchmark CBOT May soft red winter wheat settled down 21-1/4 cents at $10.06 per bushel while MGEX May spring wheat finished up 24 cents at $10.82.
The USDA forecast U.S. 2022 soybean plantings at a record-large 91.0 million acres, up 4% from 2021, while corn seedings were seen falling 4% to 89.5 million acres. Analysts said high fertilizer costs were likely discouraging U.S. farmers from expanding their seedings of corn, which requires more fertilizer than soybeans.
"This one was all about the input costs," said Don Roose, president of Iowa-based U.S. Commodities. "As the (fertilizer) price kept jumping and really spiked in the last month with the Ukraine situation, guys said it's just too easy to plant beans," Roose added.
However, Roose and other analysts noted that the USDA's acreage estimates could change due to weather and market moves during April and May, when planters roll in the U.S. Corn Belt. The USDA will release updated acreage figures on June 30, when most planting should be complete.
World demand for grain demand is expected to remain robust given supply tensions exacerbated by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, two of the world's biggest grain exporters.
"We're pretty much going to need every acre that USDA reported this year in order to meet demand," said Terry Reilly, senior analyst with Futures International in Chicago.
Declines in crude oil hung over the grain markets, given corn's role as a feedstock for ethanol fuel and soyoil's use in biodiesel. U.S. oil prices fell 7% to close just above $100 as President Joe Biden announced the largest ever release from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Hotel Worker Subdues Combative Guest He’d Kicked Out. Now Leaked Video Shows How Florida Cops Manhandled Employee Before Arresting Him and Giving Drunken Guest a Ride to a Friend.
A Fort Lauderdale police officer assaulted and arrested a Black man at his job after he and a guest had a physical altercation over a racial slur and a stay cancellation. Prominent attorney Ben Crump leaked a copy of the surveillance camera video this week, which appears to show the cops detained the wrong man.
CBS4 reports that on Jan. 19 Raymond Rachal was assaulted twice: once verbally by a belligerent guest because the employee canceled his stay at the Best Western Plus, and secondly when an officer, in response to a call about Rachal’s subsequent fight with the man, the officer rushed in and pushed Rachal back into a small refrigerator.
Rachal was working at the front desk of the hotel, located at 1180 Sea Breeze Blvd., in Fort Lauderdale, when Jason Rabe, a guest who had left earlier after his reservations were nixed, returned in a fury.
The video shows Rabe charge past the closed gate to where Rachal seated.
When Rabe gets into Rachal’s area, the clip shows the Lauderdale Lakes resident jumping up and punching the aggressor in the face. Eventually, he beats the man down to the floor.
Another person comes into the area. As the two fight, once Rabe is pinned to the floor by Rachal, the man calls 911.
Rachal can be heard yelling, “He ran right towards me, and I had to defend myself.”
Later he heard saying, “And they let him go, they stupid as sh-t.”
The comment references an earlier incident where police came to the property because Rabe was being disruptive and didn’t arrest him.
This time, when the police came, they made an arrest. They cuffed Rachal, without hearing the nature of the fight or who they were called for.
Rachal was detained for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest with violence, however, those charges were dropped, Local 10 reports.
In a report about the incident, Officer Anthony Camodeo justified his actions in the report saying the officers received a call about “a male having another male in a headlock” at the hotel and when he saw Rachal had Rabe in the chokehold and he was bleeding. Camodeo then admitted he pushed Rachal, adding the worker pushed him back.
Camodeo wrote, “I ordered the defendant several times to back up, which he failed to do, and pushed him back several more times as well.”
“The defendant then with his arms pushed me back. I then attempted to place the defendants’ arms behind his back, when he tensed up his arms and upper body and was holding his arms in front of him, resisting officers’ efforts to handcuff him,” NBC 6 reports the officer said.
Footage reveals the write-up is not accurate and Camodeo was the only one making physical contact. Crump’s tweet about the video read, “Hotel employee Raymond Rachal tried to exercise his RIGHT to cancel a white hotel guest’s stay for spewing racial slurs at him, but Ft. Lauderdale (Fla) PD officers allowed the man to STAY & Rachal was attacked, arrested & charged for defending himself!”
The clip shows while being pushed, the employee continued to explain and chronicle what happened. At one point, he even points toward the video camera in the corner of the lobby ceiling, saying it would verify his account.
Camodeo also wrote Rachal “tensed up his arms and upper body and was holding his arms in front of him resisting officers’ efforts to handcuff him,” and “struggled” as he tried to get him into the back of his patrol car.
Rachal was taken to the Broward County jail and the police gave Rabe, who still seemed to be drunk, a courtesy ride to a friend’s house. Court records reveal Rachal was released on a $1,000 bond. All charges against Rachal were dropped in February.
The FLPD released a statement on Monday, March 28, regarding the events on Jan. 19, saying, they were “aware of a video circulating social media relating to an arrest made in January,” and “Fort Lauderdale’s Office of Internal Affairs is conducting a review of this incident.”
Rachal’s mother hope to retain a civil rights attorney, but it appears despite Crump leaking the video, he’s not announced he was taking the case on.
Rachal no longer works at the hotel.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military needs to adjust its planning, training, targeting and use of weapons in order to better avoid widespread civilian deaths and damage such as the devastating 2017 battle to liberate the Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State militants, a new RAND report said Thursday.
The report requested by the Pentagon reflects criticism of the military's airstrike campaign that, according to some estimates, killed more than 1,600 civilians in Raqqa, as the U.S.-led coalition worked to destroy the Islamic State caliphate that wrested control of large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said the report, which lays out a series of recommendations to improve military procedures and strategy, will be used as the department develops its own broader plan to reduce civlian harm.
“No other military works as hard as we do to mitigate civilian harm, and yet we still cause it,” said Kirby. ”We're going to continue to try to learn from past issues.”
RAND concluded that the battle for Raqqa provided important lessons.
Michael McNerney, lead author of the RAND report, called Raqqa “a cautionary tale about civilian harm in urban combat.” He said it "should serve as an extra incentive to the DoD to strengthen its policies and procedures to mitigate, document and respond to civilian harm.”
The RAND report noted that there has been a wide range of estimated civilian casualties during the seige, but also said it believes that 60%-80% of Raqqa was left uninhabitable by the time the city was liberated in October 2017.
Initially the U.S.-led coalition estimted that it was responsible for 38 incidents involving 240 civilian casualties — including 178 who were killed. A consortium of local Syrian and international groups, including Amnesty International and Airwars, put the number of casualties at a “high estimate” of 1,600, but said that about 774 of them could specifically be “verified” by data as the result of coalition action.
The report makes it clear that several thousand more civilians likely died, based on the number of bodies uncovered by U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, but many were probably killed by IS or other fighters on the ground.
“Our report focuses on U.S. actions in Raqqa, but the actions of the Syrian government and its Russian and Iranian partners undoubtedly contributed far more to civilian harm and suffering in Syria overall,” McNerney said.
The report noted that the challenges in Raqqa were compounded by limits on the number U.S. troops that could be there, as well as where they could be positioned. U.S. troops on the ground could have provided better targeting and civilian information, including on Islamic State militants' efforts to use civilians as human shields, the report said.
RAND recommended that the U.S. military provide more extensive training and guidance on the need to avoid civilian harm, and plan and execute operations in ways to achieve those goals. Changes could include improved planning, better assessments of potential collateral damage, increased mission rehearsals, improved intelligence gathering, and more selective use of air strikes and munitions that minimize bomb fragmentation.

How to choose the best baseball bat for your needs
Unless you play Major League Baseball, you have a choice when it comes to picking the material for your bat. Your options are wood, aluminum or composite. Each of these materials provides the player with a distinct set of advantages. Each also has an inherent set of drawbacks.
When shopping for a baseball bat, you must consider what your needs are and match the type of bat to those needs. A wood bat still has its place, even though aluminum and composite bats offer a performance advantage.
Wood baseball bats
Because of safety (and other) issues, the MLB only uses ash, birch and maple bats. If you want to play like a pro, this would be your bat of choice. It honors tradition and offers a little more safety, although a pair of quality batting gloves will come in handy to reduce the sting.
Wood baseball bats pros
- From a budget perspective, wood bats are appealing because of their lower cost.
- Wood bats are the best bat for training because they provide the most feedback. This helps the player improve their swing mechanics.
- Wood bats are safer because the bat doesn’t increase the ball’s velocity like other materials.
Wood baseball bats cons
- Wood bats break more easily than aluminum or composite bats.
- The sweet spot on a wood bat is smaller than it is on the other options.
- Wood bats are the heaviest type of bat, which means they are harder to swing and may be smaller in size, so they won’t provide as much plate coverage.

Aluminum baseball bats
Aluminum bats were introduced to college baseball in the early ’70s to cut down on the rising costs of replacing broken wood bats. Besides being more durable, aluminum is lighter than wood and provides more pop when hitting a ball. However, aluminum bats are not without their downsides.
Aluminum baseball bat pros
- Aluminum bats are best when they are new — there is no break-in period required.
- Aluminum bats have a larger sweet spot, which makes them ideal for a beginner who is having trouble hitting with any sort of power.
- Aluminum bats have a trampoline effect. When the bat makes contact, some of the energy is transferred to the ball, making it travel farther and faster than a ball hit by a wood bat.
- The lighter weight of an aluminum bat means they can be longer and larger, giving the player greater plate coverage and a faster swing.
Aluminum baseball bat cons
- Although an aluminum bat will rarely break, it can lose its pop over time. The more imperfections the bat gains from hitting balls, the more its performance deteriorates.
- Aluminum bats cost slightly more than wooden bats, but they are less than composite bats.
- With an aluminum bat, there is less feedback sent to the batter, so it can be harder for a beginner to develop proper swing mechanics.

Composite baseball bats
A composite baseball bat is made of carbon fiber. These crystalline filaments are thinner than a strand of human hair but become remarkably rugged when twisted together. It is a lightweight material that has incredible strength. Some composite bats are made from a single piece of material, while others are two-piece items: a handle and a barrel. A two-piece bat is better for the average player because it doesn’t transfer as much vibration to the hands after a solid hit. Advanced players with greater speed and power, however, may opt for one-piece bats.
Composite baseball bat pros
- Composite bats are the lightest baseball bats available. This lets manufacturers make longer bats without increasing the weight so players have greater plate coverage.
- Since most composite bats have a two-piece design, they are less likely to sting a player’s hands.
- Composite bats have a larger sweet spot, which makes them best for inexperienced players.
- Over time, the trampoline effect increases on a composite bat.
Composite baseball bat cons
- Composite bats are not as durable as aluminum bats, and it is possible to break them.
- Compost bats cost more than wood bats and aluminum bats.
- A composite bat is not ready to go out of the box. You need to break it in. This process takes anywhere from 150 to 300 hits.

Should you get a wood, aluminum or composite baseball bat?
For the average player, an aluminum bat wins out because it offers the best of all worlds. It has a large sweet spot, a lightweight design, and it is available at a reasonable price. However, if you have an unlimited budget, a composite bat might edge out an aluminum bat. A composite bat won’t help you hit the ball farther, but the larger barrel and lighter weight design could up your batting average. For players who want to perfect their swing mechanics, however, there is no better option than using a wood bat at practice.

Russia threatens Europe’s natural gas
A top Russian official on Monday threatened to withhold the natural gas it supplies to Europe in response to Western actions seeking to punish the country over its invasion of Ukraine.
News outlets quoted Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak as threatening the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, which sends natural gas to the continent.
“We have every right to take a matching decision and impose an embargo on gas pumping through the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline,” Novak said, referring to Germany’s decision to block the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from supplying more gas.
Russia provides about 40 percent of Europe’s natural gas. While such a move would likely cause prices to spike in Europe, it could also hurt the Russian economy.
Novak also warned against banning Russian oil imports, claiming that it could cause a significant surge in the market.
“It is absolutely clear that a rejection of Russian oil would lead to catastrophic consequences for the global market,” Novak said. “The surge in prices would be unpredictable. It would be $300 per barrel if not more.”
On Tuesday, news broke that the U.S. was expected to announce a ban on Russia oil imports. However, that doesn’t mean that Europe, which is more reliant than the U.S. on Russian oil, will take a similar step.
Nevertheless, many buyers have already been resisting the purchase of Russian oil in light of the country’s invasion.

Iowan Kyle Young to plead guilty on Capitol riot charges, prosecutor says
A second Iowan has agreed to plead guilty to charges in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, prosecutors said Thursday.
Kyle Young of Redfield is one of seven Iowa residents charged to date with taking part in the riot, which resulted in several deaths and interrupted Congress as it met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. Prosecutors say Young was part of a crowd that surrounded and beat a District of Columbia police officer.
The officer, who suffered a heart attack after being repeatedly shocked with his own Taser, later identified Young from a lineup, according to court filings, as "the one who had his hand on his gun and threatened to kill him with it." Young was indicted in April along with Thomas Sibick of New York and Albuquerque Head of Tennessee, who also are alleged to have taken part in the assault.
At a status conference Thursday, prosecutor Cara Gardner told Judge Amy Berman Jackson that two of the three, Young and Head, have reached agreements with prosecutors. Discussions are ongoing with Sibick, Gardner said.
Attorneys for Gardner and Young's did not reveal the details of the proposed agreement. Young currently faces 13 federal charges, including robbery, civil disorder, and a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding.

Jackson agreed to schedule a change-of-plea hearing for Young on May 5. Young did not speak at Thursday's hearing except to acknowledge direct questions and agree to proceed via videoconference.
Young would be the second Iowan to admit to charges in the riot. Daryl Johnson, 51, of St. Ansgar faced charges along with his son, Daniel, of Austin, Minnesota. He pleaded guilty in January and is scheduled to be sentenced April 12.
