ADM girls soccer kicks off season
The ADM girls soccer team kicked off its season, playing in its first game of the year on Monday, March 28.
The Tigers faced off with Norwalk in their season opener and fell 6-0.
Head coach Jeff Abbas said Norwalk is a talented and competitive team, which ADM knew going in, but it was good to see what the Tigers have while also figuring out different spots and positions.
“Our girls, in the face of adversity, they stepped up and they played to the best of their ability, they played strong,” Abbas said. “But again Norwalk, we gotta give them credit for the team that they have and the talent that they bring.”
Abbas added that the Tigers are doing a bit of rebuilding with only two returning seniors this season, however the team has a lot to look forward to.
Despite practices starting two weeks ago, ADM hasn’t gotten much outdoor practice in, as the first week of practice was over its spring break and the following week only two of the five days were outside.
The game, then, offered another opportunity for Abbas to learn more about his team.
He said the Tigers are trying girls in different positions to figure out who fits where while also finding their rhythm and building chemistry, which takes time.
“We are very encouraged by the effort and the ability that we see on the field,” Abbas said. “We have the potential to really work well together… we’re upbeat, we’re positive, we’re looking forward to improving and learning and getting better.”
That positive attitude will be an asset for this team, as Abbas said while it’s good to win, the team needs to be able to learn from losses as well, because that’s how a team gets better.
He also said the culture of the team is important, as having a positive, encouraging environment the team currently has will bring about wins.
The seniors on the team are a group that have done a great job in helping foster that positive environment, according to Abbas.
“They are encouragers, they’re all leaders,” Abbas said. “I don’t look to just one or two of the seniors, I look to all of the seniors as leaders. They all set good examples, they’re helping the younger players get familiar with the program and taking them under their wing, which is just a beautiful thing from a coaching standpoint, it’s like having an assistant coaching staff among the players.”
Not only do the upperclassmen help lead, but Abbas said the underclassmen have a positive attitude as well and the team is always looking on the bright side.
The Tigers will next face North Polk, the defending conference champions, and to prepare, Abbas said they are working on formations and possessing the ball.
With two tough teams right at the beginning of its schedule, Abbas said that’s how ADM wanted it, because the team doesn’t get stronger playing weaker opponents.
“I would say we have one of the tougher schedules in the state, and that is good, that is how you get better,” Abbas said. “You gotta challenge yourself and if you lose, you learn from it, you pick yourself up and you keep going.”
The Tigers take on North Polk at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, March 31 at ADM High School. | https://www.adelnews.com/story/sports/2022/03/30/adm-girls-soccer-kicks-off-season/7193937001/ | 2022-04-01T00:52:55Z |
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. | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/alex-jones-agrees-to-appear-at-deposition-in-sandy-hook-case-after-defying-orders-to-attend | 2022-04-01T00:52:55Z |
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The greater Philadelphia area remains under a severe thunderstorm watch until midnight Friday.
Improvements in technology and forecasting allowed the Storm Prediction Center to highlight this potential severe weather threat over five days ago.

This is the same system that spawned a severe weather outbreak with dozens of tornadoes across the deep south and midwest earlier this week.
The main threat we face is damaging winds with 60 to 70 mph wind gusts. There is also a threat of isolated tornadoes and localized flooding.

Which Replica perfumes are best?
Scent is our most powerfully evocative sense, and perhaps no perfume brand leans more into the relationship between scent and memory than Maison Margiela’s Replica perfumes. These fragrances attempt to capture experiences and moments from specific places and times, like favorite Replica fragrance By the Fireplace does with notes of woodsmoke, chestnut and vanilla. Here’s how to select the best Replica perfume for your fragrance collection.
What to know before you buy a Replica perfume
Most Replica fragrances are unisex
Maison Margiela is an unconventional fashion house, and its Replica fragrances follow suit by largely ignoring standard gendered fragrance categories. Only a handful of the brand’s fragrances are recommended specifically for male or female users, and even within those categories, users of all genders tend to have success wearing a fragrance that isn’t traditionally marketed for them. Don’t be afraid to sample a fragrance that seems outside the box — Replica may pleasantly surprise you.
Most popular Replica fragrances are eau de toilettes
One important consideration in shopping for a Replica perfume is that the majority of the fragrances available are eau de toilettes, not eau de parfums. Eau de parfum is what we typically think of as “perfume,” and its scent tends to be stronger and longer-lasting, but eau de toilette is frequently more affordable. This is due to eau de toilettes having a lower concentration of pricey fragrance oils (generally 8-12%) than eau de parfums (12-18%). While eau de toilettes tend to be lighter and less complex, some of Replica’s most popular eau de toilettes, like By The Fireplace, are as rich and elaborate as eau de parfums.
Experiment with a gift set
There are a lot of Replica perfumes to choose from, and it’s always possible that the most popular scent in the lineup won’t appeal to you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice or don’t want to risk buying a perfume you’re not in love with, consider trying a gift set. Replica gift sets typically include 10 mini bottles, each with roughly eight wears — enough to get a feel for the perfume. These mini bottles are also great for travel.
What to look for in a quality Replica perfume
Affordable luxury designer quality
Replica eau de toilettes offer complex, unique fragrances at reasonable price points compared to other, more established designer perfume brands. Plus, with three bottle sizes available as well as a sample set, it’s easy to get the right amount of perfume for your budget.
Spray bottles, not rollerballs
Perfume purists often prefer spray applicators to rollerballs, and with good reason. Atomizers help disperse fragrance more evenly on your skin, and rollerballs can pick up debris from contact with your skin and degrade the perfume’s quality over time. All sizes of Replica perfumes come with atomizers.
Thoughtful packaging
In keeping with the brand’s theme of nostalgia and memory, Replica perfume bottles are modeled after apothecary jars. The white labels are fabric, not paper, and they’re printed with the place and year that inspired the fragrance as well as the fragrance notes. The boxes feature Polaroid photographs that depict the place encapsulated by the perfume.
How much you can expect to spend on Replica perfume
Replica eau de toilette fragrances come in two standard sizes. The full-size, 3.4-ounce bottle costs $144, while 1-ounce bottles cost $76. Travel-size, .34-ounce spray bottles are available for $32.
Replica perfume FAQ
How many Replica perfumes are there?
A. Maison Margiela currently makes three Replica eau de parfum fragrances and 18 eau de toilette fragrances. New scents are added almost every year, but a handful have been discontinued over time.
How long do Replica perfumes last?
A. Replica perfumes are popular more for their unique scents than their staying power. For some, this may be a deal-breaker, but keep in mind that a perfume’s longevity depends on many factors. Replica perfumes can last anywhere from two to six hours.
What’s the best Replica perfume to buy?
Top Replica perfume
What you need to know: This unisex fragrance accurately captures the scent memory of relaxing by a fire.
What you’ll love: The unique perfume has notes of woodsmoke, clove and vanilla. It’s a great fragrance for fall and winter.
What you should consider: It may be one of Replica’s more popular fragrances, but it’s also very unique: its top notes are strongly smoky, and the fireplace-like scent may limit when and where it can be worn.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Top Replica perfume for the money
What you need to know: Themed around going out for cocktails at an upscale club, this fragrance starts off with warm spices and rum before drying down into smoky notes of vanilla and tobacco.
What you’ll love: The warm, smoky notes of this fragrance tend to have better projection and linger longer than some Replica perfumes, so it’s a comparatively good value, especially in the smaller size. Though it’s marketed as a male scent, all wearers love it.
What you should consider: It’s a softer fragrance that doesn’t evolve much over time, and it’s best for fans of smoky, masculine scents.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Worth checking out
What you need to know: The notes of coconut and citrus in this freshly sweet fragrance will transport you to a tropical beach.
What you’ll love: While Beach Walk is a distinctly summery fragrance, it’s also fun to wear off-season when you need a sunny pick-me-up. It’s a good choice for someone new to perfume or who wants a light, non-traditional fragrance.
What you should consider: Some users interpret the scent as too similar to sunscreen for their tastes.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey

President Joe Biden set off international alarms over the weekend when he committed the United States to the goal of regime change in Russia. "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power," Biden said of Russian leader Vladimir Putin during a speech in Poland. The last time the United States set itself to removing a foreign leader, in Iraq in 2003, the American plan turned into a long-running disaster. Now, with war raging in Ukraine, it would seem a terrible idea for the president to announce that the goal of U.S. forces is to remove Putin from his position atop the Russian government.
The White House was quick to explain that it was all a mistake — Biden's mistake. Worried aides put out word that Biden's statement was not in his prepared remarks. They made clear that no, no, no, United States policy was not regime change in Russia. "He was not discussing Putin's power in Russia, or regime change," a freaked-out White House official told Fox News. "The president's point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin's power in Russia or regime change." So when Biden said Putin "cannot remain in power," he meant that Putin cannot remain in power over his neighbors.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken performed the formal cleanup Sunday during a news conference in Jerusalem. Unbidden, he said, "As you know, and as you've heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia or anywhere else." Blinken said any regime change in Russia would be up to the Russian people.
Finally, Biden, back home, said flatly, "I'm not walking anything back." Asked what he meant when he said Putin "cannot remain in power," Biden explained, "I was expressing the moral outrage I felt towards this man."
Indeed, some of the administration's most fervent supporters argued that the president was right to say what he did. The pro-Biden Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin wrote that "Biden reminds us how fortunate we are to have an experienced diplomat and energetic proponent of our democratic alliances rather than Putin's poodle," by which she meant former President Donald Trump.
Democratic fundraiser Bill Kristol, who as a Republican was one of the loudest and most influential proponents of regime change in Iraq in 2003, compared Biden's retracted "cannot remain in power" statement to President Ronald Reagan's famous declaration at the Berlin Wall in 1987: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
It was a laughable comparison. For one thing, Reagan's line was not a gaffe. In the weeks leading up to the Berlin speech, some in the Reagan administration opposed the proposed "tear down this wall" declaration. The president favored it, and thus it stayed in the speech. In an article on the National Archives website, Peter Robinson, the Reagan speechwriter who penned the speech, included an image of the page of Reagan's speech that contained the declaration. There it was, in black and white. So "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" was not a gaffe. It was a planned remark.
Second, the Reagan White House and administration did not rush to disavow the president's words. The "tear down this wall" passage became the most famous of the speech, and one of the most famous of Reagan's presidency, because it dramatically expressed Ronald Reagan's feelings and policy toward Communism. In the days that followed, the president did not run away from his own words.
Third, Reagan called for Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, to allow freedom in his country and the nations under Soviet control. Reagan did not call for the removal of Gorbachev. Perhaps if Biden had said, in today's circumstances, "Mr. Putin, end this war," there would have been some analogy. But that is not what Biden said.
After Biden's gaffe, there emerged a debate over whether it was really a gaffe — whether Biden said exactly what he intended to say and then allowed his staff to back away from it to avoid the charge that the U.S. is trying to remove Putin, even though, in fact, the U.S. is trying to.
Just a week earlier, the historian Niall Ferguson argued that the Biden administration had decided to make Russian regime change its goal in the Ukraine war — in other words, to use the war to try to bring Putin down, rather than to seek a quick and peaceful resolution to stop the killing.
After Biden delivered his speech, Ferguson tweeted: "As I said last week, the Biden administration has apparently decided to instrumentalize the war in Ukraine to bring about regime change in Russia, rather than trying to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible. Biden just said it out loud. This is a highly risky strategy." Instead, Ferguson wrote, "the U.S. should be doing everything in its (considerable) power to broker a ceasefire and compromise peace."
Now, after Biden's "cannot remain in power" gaffe, or non-gaffe, the U.S. strategy is not clear. If it was a gaffe, it was a sign of a disturbing trend. As Glenn Greenwald noted, "This episode marked at least the third time in the past couple weeks that White House officials had to walk back Biden's comments, following his clear decree that U.S. troops would soon be back in Ukraine and his prior warning that the U.S. would use chemical weapons against Russia if they used them first." If it was not a gaffe, it was perhaps even more disturbing.
So if it was a gaffe, it was bad. If it was not a gaffe, it was worse. What it was not was the reincarnation of Reagan's "tear down this wall" declaration. Of that, everyone can be sure. | https://www.ottumwacourier.com/opinion/columns/york-bidens-blunder-was-no-reagan-replay/article_bbb94716-b147-11ec-992d-2770a207117e.html | 2022-04-01T00:52:55Z |

Pence to GOP: Stop ‘fighting yesterday’s battles’
Former Vice President Mike Pence in a speech Friday night will call on Republicans to move beyond “relitigating” the 2020 election as the GOP hopes to flip both chambers of Congress this November.
Pence, in an address to the party’s donors, will say Republicans can only win “if we are united around an optimistic vision for the future based on our highest values.”
“We cannot win by fighting yesterday’s battles, or by relitigating the past,” he’ll add, according to prepared remarks. “Republicans can only win by offering real, lasting solutions to the problems Democrats have created for the American people.”
The stance again puts him squarely at odds with former President Trump, who has repeatedly asserted unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud and irregularities in the 2020 race.
Pence has sporadically voiced disagreements with Trump over the election as well as his ability as the then-vice president in Jan. 2021 to overturn the election results.
Following his loss, Trump waged a concerted effort to pressure Pence into overturning the Electoral College tally when he oversaw Congress’s certification of the results on Jan. 6, 2021. Pence rebuffed the calls from Trump, maintaining his role that day was purely symbolic.
Pence issued his strongest rebuke to Trump last month when he said the idea that he could have overturned the election results was “un-American.”
“President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence continued. “The presidency belongs to the American people, and the American people alone. Frankly, there is almost no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president.”
While Pence and other lawmakers in Washington have voiced a desire to move on from grumbling over 2020, claims of voter fraud are still being discussed across the midterm map.
GOP candidates running in several races have expressed support for Trump’s claims that the election was “stolen” from him, and Republican governors across the country are passing laws to restrict access to the ballot.
The power of the claims was put into stark relief this week after a Republican investigation of the 2020 presidential race in Wisconsin said in a draft report Tuesday that the state legislature can decertify election results after the race is over.
Pence, however, will suggest Friday that a more forward-looking agenda will pay more dividends in November.
“If Republicans come together and focus on the future, we won’t just win the next election,” he’ll say. “We will win a future of freedom for all the American people.”

Dubin Airport has been in the headlines in the past week due to delays in processing passengers through security. This is not just happening in Dubin, but also at other European and British Airports. Joan Scales looks at a number of factors involved and the plans are in place to resolve them.
Firstly, due to Covid-19, traffic at Dublin Airport fell from almost 33 million passengers to just over eight million in 2020 and 2021 resulting in the loss of staff. The usual count for security personnel is 900 and it is now at 600.
The EU introduced stricter requirements for all personnel working in an aviation environment from 1 January 2022. This has meant more intensive police vetting for existing and upcoming applicants, leading to delays in processing.
The transmissibility of the current Omicron variant of Covid-19 has meant higher numbers of people are contracting it, causing widespread absences.
Pent-up demand from people is reflected in the huge increase in passengers travelling, this month (March) numbers increased from 25,000 to 70,000 per day in mid-March.
The return of the aviation business has also resulted in a big increase in flights, both existing and new routes. The number of flights continues to rise sharply, from 300 per day at the start of January, up to 500 a day by March. The aircraft load factors have increased from 49% to 80%. There are now more than 130 routes from Dublin Airport, and more are being added or returning every week.
Action by daa
The Dublin Airport Authority are recruiting constantly and has added 100 new staff since January. This week 250 people have been called for interview.
Considering the current issues, staff that have the required security clearance are being redeployed to assist with security screening.
The airport will operate on a 24-hour basis for the moment to allow passengers, particularly those on early morning flights pass through security with more ease.
Airline News
Aer Lingus has reinstated the day before drop-off for baggage for passengers flying from Dublin between 5:30am and 8am. Passengers can check-in and drop off their bags at the airport between 4pm and 7:45pm the evening before they fly and go straight to security the next morning.
Ryanair issued a notice to intending passengers to be at the airport at least 3.5 hours before departure time. The Aer Lingus recommended check-in times are 2.5 hours for flights within Europe and 3.5 hours for transatlantic flights. (Check-in closes 75 minutes before flight departure time for Economy Class and 60 minutes for Business Class).
How Can Passengers Speed Up Through Dublin Airport?
- Travel outside peak time if you can; the early morning and evening flights are the busiest.
- Prepare your cabin bag, all liquids, gels, and pastes must be in a clear plastic bag and no more than 100ml or 4oz per container; lip balm is considered a paste.
- Think about what to wear, you will have to take off coats, jackets, belts and shoes when going through Security. You may also have to remove chunky jewellery.
- Go to the airport earlier – Dubin Airport is a lovely airport with lots of nice restaurants, bars and shopping to enjoy. Make a trip to the airport part of the journey. Travellers to the United Kingdom can now buy duty free, and the range at Dublin is extensive. You can use the Shop & Collect service for all products except alcohol and tobacco, and pick up your purchases on return to Dublin.
- Ensure that you have travel insurance, and that you pay for it two weeks before departure. Some insurance companies have a moratorium of up to 14 days and claims can only be made after that period.

Van Meter girls soccer opens season with a win over Central Iowa United
The Van Meter girls soccer team opened its season with a big win over Central Iowa United on March 28.
One season after going 13-6 and making it to the regional championship in their first year, the Bulldogs picked up right where they left off, defeating the Spartans 9-0.
Van Meter started out the game solid, scoring three goals, and only bolstered that lead in the second half, scoring six more goals to cap off a strong season opener.
Leading the Bulldogs in their win was sophomore Eden Moore, who scored seven goals in Van Meter’s victory on nine shots on goal.
Freshmen Katie Vaught and Gracie Garrison scored the other two goals for the Bulldogs, with Garrison also dishing out four assists. Junior Mary Kelly also had an assist in the game for a point.
While the Bulldogs’ offense was firing on all cylinders, the defense held strong too, with the Spartans only getting three shots on goal throughout the game.
Van Meter sophomore goalkeeper Regan Bernhardt stayed solid during the game as well, not allowing Central Iowa United to score any goals in the game.
The Bulldogs next take on Grand View Christian at 5:30 p.m. April 8 at Grandview Christian High School. | https://www.adelnews.com/story/sports/2022/03/30/van-meter-girls-soccer-opens-season-win-over-central-iowa-united/7193965001/ | 2022-04-01T00:53:01Z |
The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don't have an answer for how that's going to happen.
"If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that's a good question for 10 Republicans to answer," said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. "Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes."
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only "a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs." Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. "Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?" Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden's social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden's agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven't abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden's economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they'd help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That's done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she's looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It's an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don't reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can't afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a "total disaster" for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
"This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition," said Glied. | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/house-passes-35-a-month-insulin-cap-as-dems-seek-wider-bill | 2022-04-01T00:53:01Z |

Which rustic lampshade is best?
Rustic decor can make any space feel warm and homey, but as you cozy up with a hot beverage around the fire, your lampshades might stick out like a sore thumb. How do you style something so functional to match the homespun aesthetic of your rustic decor?
From earthy colors to organic materials, rustic lampshades are the perfect accent to a cabin-inspired interior. Whether your vision of rustic is understated and minimal or decadent like a hunting lodge, the best rustic lampshade is Brentwood Collection Oatmeal Tall Linen Medium Drum Lampshade.
What to know before you buy a rustic lampshade
What is rustic?
Rustic is an interior design style inspired by frontier and country living. It emphasizes natural, organic and raw materials typically found in homes built with resources immediately available to those living off the land. Think exposed cross beams, unfinished wood or logs, animal hides and raw leathers, wrought or cast iron, heirloom or antique furniture and warm, thick knit fabrics.
What makes a lampshade rustic?
The modern lampshade is a fairly recent invention, coinciding with the discovery of electricity. So, many rustic lampshades use inspiration from premodern living to imagine a utilitarian, repurposed aesthetic. These are made from raw, organic materials and are typically decorated with a mixture of natural and folk motifs.
If you want a camp-like aesthetic, look for lampshades with silhouettes or stenciling of plants or animals. Many seek to imitate the appearance of animal hide, radiating an amber glow.
If understated and contemporary rustic is your thing, natural colors such as beige, sage green, ocher and amber all look good with raw woods.
Types of lampshades
Lampshades come in all shapes and sizes:
- Empire: These are conical lampshades. They’re shaped so that most of the light emits from the wider bottom, making them perfect for table lamps.
- Bell: These lampshades are similar to empire shades in effect but have a concave curve traveling from the narrow top to their flared bottom.
- Round: Round shades can come in a classic drum or oval shape. They diffuse light in an even, ambient manner, suiting them well to floor lamps.
- Square: These modern, geometric shapes are good at even lighting but might clash with the organic forms of rustic decor.
- Dome: Used with overhead lights or table lamps, these are shallow with wide openings to spill out lots of light.
What to look for in a quality rustic lampshade
Material
- Linen: Elegantly textured, this material is popular for its durability and simplicity, fitting almost any decor.
- Cotton: Cotton is a little more uniform than linen thanks to its tighter weave. It’s lightweight and soft.
- Paper: Paper lampshades have lots of texture and are good at simulating rustic materials. They’re the most translucent material.
- Silk: Silk is a very luxurious material that can class up any room. It’s thick with a classic sheen.
- Fiber: Elaborate lampshade designs can be made from sculptural materials such as wood. Look for wicker, rattan or burlap. Light quality depends on their weave.
Fitter
The fitter is the structural component that attaches the shade to your lamp. There are four kinds:
- Spider: A spider fitter sits at the top of the shade and uses spokes to hold up a center washer that connects to your lamp. You lock it on with a finial.
- Clip-on: Clip-ons use clamping metal tongs to clasp the light bulb of your lamp.
- Uno: These are similar to spider fitters in their design but travel to the bottom of the lamp so they rest at the base of the light bulb.
- Screw-on: Like uno fitters, screw-ons sit beneath the light bulb, screwing onto the lamp fixture.
Finials
These are the little decorative end pieces that screw the fitter onto the lamp. If your lamp fitter requires a finial, think about the design you want. Many ornamental finials are better suited to classically inspired decors, but that doesn’t mean your rustic home has to do without these fun accents. Pine cones, driftwood, sculptural wildlife and other country-living inspired materials or flora and fauna all look great on a rustic lampshade.
How much you can expect to spend on a rustic lampshade
Depending on the material, a rustic lampshade can cost $30-$70.
Rustic lampshade FAQ
What width lampshade do I need?
A. If you’re styling a table lamp, most designers recommend choosing a lampshade whose base diameter measures within 2 inches of your lamp’s height. To get your lamp’s height, measure from the base just up to where the bulb’s socket cap begins. For floor lamps, you have more flexibility — size just so that the bulb has at least 2.5 inches on either side.
What height lampshade do I need?
A. Similar to width, the lampshade should be within a half-inch of the height of the lamp’s harp. The harp is the wire frame that begins at the socket cap and extends above the bulb so you can install your shade. If your lamp doesn’t have a harp, don’t exceed the height of the lamp’s body; aim for two-thirds the height.
How do I match my lampshade to my lamp?
A. When choosing a lampshade shape, you want it to mirror the shape of your lamp. A square base and round body match a lampshade of the same composition. Likewise, an oval shade looks great on a cylindrical lamp, but wonky on a squat, square one. There are no hard and fast rules, but this general guideline typically makes for a good pairing.

A RentCafe study found that Boulder is the second best city in the country for Generation Z renters.
The analysis determined the popularity of cities across the country by examining the share of total apartment applications submitted by members of each generation.
In Boulder, Generation Z accounts for 66% of applicants, followed by Millennials at 18%.
Boulder was the only Colorado city to crack the top 20 most popular cities with Zoomer renters.
“At state level, Colorado Springs boasts the second-largest share of Gen Z renters — 36%. However, when it comes to Colorado’s trending Gen Z hotspot, Denver is the new up-and-coming favorite,” the report found. “In just one year, apartment applications coming from this age cohort increased by 29%, pushing the city’s share of Gen Z renters to 28% by 2021.”

2024 Republicans eager to be seen as tough on Russia
Republicans eyeing White House runs in 2024 are increasingly taking hard-line stances on Russia, underscoring the political importance the war in Ukraine has for those with presidential ambitions.
Even former President Trump, who was criticized for initially praising Russian President Vladimir Putin, has shifted his rhetoric in recent days, calling the invasion of Ukraine a “holocaust” this week. And Trump’s former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, another likely 2024 contender, called Putin a dictator after also facing criticism for past praise of the Russian leader.
Other possible White House hopefuls, including South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), have taken even more hawkish stances on Moscow, as last week’s invasion of Ukraine becomes an opportunity for Republican leaders to score political points on the national stage.
“If you’re a Republican, you’re never in a bad situation if you are pushing against Russia or China,” said veteran GOP strategist Doug Heye. “Talking tough on Russia and acting tough on Russia is firm political ground.”
On Friday, former Vice President Mike Pence, who is thought to be considering a presidential run, delivered a speech to GOP donors touting the NATO alliance against Russia and noting that there’s “no room in this party for apologists for Putin.”
“To those who argue that NATO expansion is somehow responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine…ask yourself, where would our friends in Eastern Europe be today if they were not in NATO?” Pence said. “Where would Russian tanks be today if NATO had not expanded the borders of freedom?”
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who has said he will consider a White House bid, terminated the state’s “sister city relationship” with Russia’s Leningrad region this week in what he called a largely “symbolic gesture.”
“We think it’s important to send a message to Russia every way that we can,” Hogan, who visited a Ukrainian Catholic Church in Baltimore this week, told CNN on Tuesday.
Not all Republican leaders are in agreement on how to respond to the conflict, however.
In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) — thought to be one of Trump’s most likely successors to lead the party — is facing calls from Democrats and Republicans alike to divest from Russia, an action he has so far resisted. Among those calling for a tougher approach is Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), a potential 2024 rival.
Scott, who served as governor of Florida before entering the Senate, has called on all levels of government to take action against Russia in the wake of the invasion and for the U.S. to work toward being energy independent.
“I hope everybody looks at this as a wakeup call to say countries like Russia, countries like China, countries like Iran, and Cuba, and Venezuela, they’re not our friends,” Scott said in an interview with The Hill this week. “The only way we’re going to get change there is if they don’t have the resources to be able to create havoc around the world.”
DeSantis, Scott’s successor, reacted to the Russian invasion by likening Putin to “an authoritarian gas-station attendant.”
“He’s being fueled because America is not serious about energy independence right now, and Europe is not serious at all. So Europe is funding this guy. So he has the ability now to go in and flex muscle,” DeSantis said on Wednesday.
Both Florida politicians have criticized Biden’s approach to the conflict, but DeSantis’s office pushed back against a letter from gubernatorial candidate and state Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) calling on Florida to divest from Russian-backed entities, saying in a statement that Fried’s letter “lacks necessary clarity.”
“Commissioner Fried claims ‘Florida is a well-known hub for Russian investments’ but does not quantify that or provide specific examples of what she means by ‘Russian investments,’” said DeSantis’s press secretary Christina Pushaw.
Others argue that while the symbolic moves leaders take to condemn Russia are by no means bad, there are other foreign policy stances that can be taken to strengthen the U.S.
“Are you more concerned about divesting from Russia when their economy is the size of Italy or are you more concerned about divesting from China which is the real threat of the 21st century?” said Florida-based GOP strategist Ford O’Connell. “Ron has been on that.”
There is also the difference in DeSantis and Scott’s respective leadership positions.
“Senators are legislators. Governors are decisionmakers,” Heye said. “Governors don’t call for things to happen, they make things happen or don’t.”
“For governors, you’re not talking about things in theory, you are talking about things in practice,” he said.
Biden’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday saw rare bipartisan applause after he voiced support for Ukraine and called Putin a “dictator.” An NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist National Poll released on Friday also showed the president’s approval rating tick up to 47 percent in the days following the address.
Republicans have increasingly molded their messages to condemn Putin while at the same time needling Biden’s handling of U.S. relations with Moscow.
“I think the Republican position should be, one, to condemn Putin unequivocally,” said former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) during a Republican National Committee press call prior to the State of the Union this week.
“We should call for a maximum build up in our oil and gas capabilities, which will do more to hurt [Putin] economically and more to strip him of geopolitical influence in Europe,” Gingrich continued. “And third, we should be blunt and direct about the fact that Biden first talked about Ukraine in April of last year and did nothing.”
“For ten months the Biden administration dithered and dathered and kept talking about negotiations, etc, and failed to use that time in a productive way,” he said.
Sanctioning Russian oil has been another bipartisan rallying cry, but it’s a move the Biden administration seems reluctant to take. While the Biden administration has not ruled out sanctioning Russian oil, the White House said they did not have an interest in reducing the global energy supply and that such a move would raise gas prices for Americans.
Republicans say they should increasingly aim their messaging on the importance of energy independence.
“Currently the way [energy independence] is structured under the Biden administration is hurting working class Americans,” O’Connell said. “When you look at inflation, when you look at gas prices and you realize gas prices are the biggest portion of the producer price and index and you want to know why people on Main Street are hurting when they’re paying an extra $380 nationally due to inflation, it’s absolutely smart to stay on energy independence because that is the economy.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), another potential 2024 hopeful, noted Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) call to sanction Russian oil in a tweet on Friday, criticizing Biden’s stance on it.
“Even *Nancy Pelosi* is urging Biden to sanction Russian oil,” Cotton said. “So what is Biden waiting for — Russia to completely overrun Ukraine before he acts?”
In the meantime, the acts of solidarity with Ukraine from leaders across both political aisles have shown no sign of slowing down, creating a stronger front against Russia.
“Changing a sister city or a city hall lighting itself up in Ukraine colors is not going to be the thing that turns the tide of what happens over there,” Heye said. “But it does demonstrate a united front and when that united front happens between Republicans and Democrats and American and European allies or allies from other countries, it further isolates Russia.”

Irish Travel Agents Association welcomes the opening of €10m Support Scheme for Licensed Outbound Travel Agents.
The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) welcomes the opening of the application process for the €10m Support Scheme for Licensed Travel Agents as announced by Minister of State responsible for International Travel, Hildegarde Naughton.
Statement from Pat Dawson, CEO of the ITAA
In a statement issued by Pat Dawson, CEO of the ITAA, he confirms: “The application process for the €10m Support Scheme for Licensed Outbound Travel Agents is being opened later today. All licensed travel agents will receive communication directly from the Dept. of Transport and details will be posted to www.gov.ie
Pat Dawson added: “The ITAA welcomes this initiative brought about by the good offices of the Minister of State responsible for International Travel Hildegarde Naughton, Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Michael McGrath, officials in the Department of Transport. Personally, I would like to thank the Board of the ITAA for all their efforts in securing this financial support to protect the travel industry.”
He continued, “Our industry has been devastated since early 2020 by both the impact of the pandemic and subsequent travel restrictions on international travel. This fund will help travel agents throughout the country remain in business until viable trading properly resumes. It is a testament to each and everyone of you that despite trading at near zero levels, travel agents throughout the country facilitated clients with refunds and rebooking.”
Pat Dawson explained, “The Board of the ITAA very much welcomes this support fund for travel agents licensed in Ireland… The ITAA has worked tirelessly with Minister Hildegarde Naughton, Minister Michael McGrath, and with officials from the Department of Transport to secure this financial support to protect the travel industry. Many of our members are small family-run businesses located in towns and villages across the country. This support will, in turn, protect the Irish consumer. Consumers who book with a bonded, licensed Irish travel agent are guaranteed protection under the European Package Travel Directive. This protection is not present when booking ‘do-it-yourself’ holidays.”
Paul Hackett, President of the ITAA
Paul Hackett, President of the ITAA, said, “We in the ITAA have worked hard on behalf of all licensed travel agents to highlight the issues faced by our industry and very much welcome this support fund for travel agents licensed in Ireland. It will go towards protecting the Irish based travel industry, facilitating a smooth and safe return to business. Our industry is resilient. We have overcome other catastrophes in the past and for the most part our members have survived the most challenging trading environment ever seen. I have no doubt that over the next 18 to 24 months we will recover to pre-pandemic trading levels.” | https://ittn.ie/news/itaa-welcomes-opening-of-e10m-support-scheme/ | 2022-04-01T00:53:05Z |

Which Sony soundbar is best?
The best Sony soundbar for you depends on many factors, though it’s hard to go wrong with such a trusted brand. Sony offers a range of soundbars, so most buyers can find one to accommodate their budget and needs. Still, some find it daunting to sift through the various speaker options available, especially if they don’t know what they’re looking for.
The Sony HT-A5000 Soundbar offers superior audio, and it works great with voice-command systems like Alexa and Google Assistant.
What to know before you buy a Sony soundbar
Other audio and video devices
Soundbars are commonly used as the primary speaker for television audio or as central speakers for a complete home theater system. Those looking to buy a Sony soundbar will need to consider what other audio and video hardware they plan to use with the soundbar. Even if you aren’t adding your soundbar to a home theater system with other speakers, they’re compatible with nearly all Sony speakers, letting you upgrade later if you want.
Audio formats
Soundbars can vary in what audio formats they support. Support for high-resolution audio formats is a must if you’re hoping to get the best possible sound out of your speakers. The two most common and highest-resolution audio formats to look out for are Dolby Atmos and DTS: X. However, each of the companies also offers lower-quality versions of the formats.
Soundbar bundles with other speakers
Many buying a soundbar prefer to bundle it with other speakers to achieve surround sound. You can purchase soundbars with a full surround sound setup or find bundles with just a soundbar and a subwoofer.
What to look for in a quality Sony soundbar
Connectivity
When buying any soundbar, it’s crucial to make sure the one you choose has the connections you need for your TV or other audio hardware. Different connections on soundbars can vary, with some more common than others.
- HDMI: Many soundbars include HDMI ports with audio capabilities. Soundbars are commonly used with TVs, making HDMI ports the most common connection type.
- RCA component: If you’re using an older TV or device, you may require a soundbar with RCA component cables or analog video cables. These aren’t as common as HDMI outputs, though they’re not impossible to find.
- USB: Some soundbars may include USB ports for playing audio from flash drives, computers or other USB sources.
- Optical digital: Optical digital ports let users connect devices like TVs, Blu-ray players and more and are relatively common on soundbars.
- Bluetooth: The most common type of wireless connection included on soundbars is Bluetooth. Some soundbars feature Bluetooth connectivity, but not all of them — so it’s vital to double-check the product listing before you buy if you hope to listen to audio via Bluetooth.
- Wi-Fi: Some soundbars include Wi-Fi connectivity, making them easy to connect to with a wide range of wireless internet-compatible devices.
If you’ll use your soundbar with a specific device, you’ll need to ensure the soundbar supports the device’s connections.
Size
The size of your media stand may limit which soundbars you can use. Soundbars can vary in size, so it’s essential to measure the width of the surface you plan to put them on.
Modes and other features
Many soundbars include sound modes for optimizing audio quality based on the media you’re using. For example, many have sound modes like voice, game or movie modes, which will equalize audio to bring out the best in the given media. You can also find other audio features on soundbars, often including equalization, automatic room tuning and low-latency settings.
How much you can expect to spend on a Sony soundbar
Cheap Sony soundbars may cost as little as $100. You can expect to spend $130-$1,500 on mid-tier or high-end soundbars.
Sony soundbar FAQ
Are Sony soundbars compatible with Samsung TVs?
A. Sony’s soundbars are compatible with most Samsung TVs. Some buyers have reported issues using the Sony app with their Samsung TVs, though that doesn’t necessarily prevent them from using the two brands together.
Do Sony soundbars offer true surround sound without other speakers?
A. The only way to achieve true surround sound is through a 5.1- or 7.1-channel speaker setup. These speaker setups use several speakers to achieve surround sound, including a soundbar, subwoofer and other mid- and high-frequency speakers.

Weld County added more new residents than any other county in the state since the April 2020 census, according to new data released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The county added an estimated 11,055 residents, taking it from a population of 328,981 to 340,036, as of July 1, 2021, a growth rate of 3.4%.
The Census Bureau estimates population in counties annually, building on the latest census, earlier estimates and demographic analysis.
Douglas County ranked second statewide in terms of residents added, with 11,012 new residents taking the population from 357,978 to 368,990, an increase of 3.1%.
When looking at estimates for the one-year span from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021, Weld and Douglas reversed positions, with Douglas County adding 8,888 residents during that 12-month period and Weld County adding 8,678.
El Paso County ranked No. 3 statewide in terms of population added since the census, with 7,472 new residents taking the population from 730,395 to 737,867, up 1%.
Larimer County ranked No. 4 statewide, adding 3,467 residents, taking the population from 359,066 to 362,533, an increase of 1%.
Boulder County actually lost population according to the estimate, dropping by 1,215 residents, from 330,758 to 329,543, down 0.4%.
Broomfield County added 1,213 residents, taking the population from 74,112 to 75,325, up 1.6%.
Rich Werner, president and CEO of Upstate Colorado, a regional economic-development organization based in Greeley, said the latest population gains reflect a trend that has existed over the past decade.
Weld County communities offer more-affordable housing options than many parts of the Denver area, Werner noted, with growth of industry adding to the appeal.
“When you have an area of Northern Colorado that is tied to the metro Denver region and are seeing robust growth in industry, along with additional affordable (housing) options and a variety of communities to live in, you’re seeing (such factors) support that growth,” he said. “It’s always been an issue of housing stock and affordability that lends itself, along with the commuting patterns of the workforce.”
The Census Bureau identified net migration as the main factor in Larimer County’s one-year population growth, while Weld County showed a robust natural change of 1,993 and net migration of 6,730.
But negative net migration was cited as the key component of Boulder County’s population loss since July 1, 2020, with 1,413 residents moving out of the county, only slightly offset by natural change, or births compared with deaths.
That could be a reflection of the high housing costs in Boulder County. The median single-family sales price for the city of Boulder, for example, approached $1.6 million in February, with Longmont at $600,000. February’s median sales price in the Greeley-Evans market was only $434,850.
“We saw this happen to Longmont years ago, where Longmont’s growth was really predicated on the affordability issue of folks who worked in Boulder but could not afford to live there and so moved to Longmont,” Werner said. “And now we’re seeing the same thing as our population growth increases, as our industries continue to grow, we’re seeing more interest in living close to the workplace.”
Nationally, five of the Top 10 largest-gaining counties in 2021, were in Texas, with Collin, Fort Bend, Williamson, Denton and Montgomery counties gaining a combined 145,663 residents.
Also:
- Los Angeles County, Calif., experienced the largest population loss of any county, losing 159,621 residents in 2021. Seventy-one percent of counties (2,218) experienced positive net international migration.
- Four counties crossed the threshold of 100,000 residents in 2021: Cleveland County, N.C. (100,359); Lancaster County, S.C. (100,336); Bastrop County, Texas (102,058); and Grant County, Wash. (100,297).
- Los Angeles County, Calif. (9,829,544), and Cook County, Ill. (5,173,146), had more than 5 million residents in 2021, making them the two most populous counties in the nation.

Fourth round of Evaluations focus on top ransomware and wiper malware groups, including Russian cyber military unit
WALTHAM, Mass., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Uptycs, provider of the first cloud-native security analytics platform enabling cloud and endpoint security from a common solution, today announced the results of its completed MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® Enterprise Evaluation, Round 4. This round of independent ATT&CK Evaluations for enterprise cybersecurity solutions emulated the Wizard Spider and Sandworm threat groups. Wizard Spider is responsible for the infamous Ryuk ransomware family, and Sandworm is a Russian cyber military unit behind the 2017 NotPetya attacks.
"Ransomware is a growing scourge for all types of organizations and the focus of these MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations could not come at a more appropriate time," said Ganesh Pai, Co-founder and CEO at Uptycs. "Security teams can use these evaluation results to identify gaps in their detection coverage. Our strong performance in both the Windows and Linux portions of the evaluation demonstrate how Uptycs helps these Security teams to detect even advanced ransomware actors, in addition to the hardening needed to minimize the risk of ransomware in the first place."
The MITRE Engenuity evaluations team chose to emulate two threat groups that abuse the Data Encrypted For Impact (T1486) technique. In Wizard Spider's case, they have leveraged data encryption for ransomware, including the widely known Ryuk malware (S0446). Sandworm, on the other hand, leveraged encryption for the destruction of data, perhaps most notably with their NotPetya malware (S0368) that disguised itself as ransomware. While the common thread to this year's evaluations is "Data Encrypted for Impact," both groups have substantial reporting on a broad range of post-exploitation tradecraft.
New advanced detection capabilities helped Uptycs perform strongly in the Wizard Spider and Sandworm evaluation, including:
- Ransomware detection - Uptycs provides generic detection and protection against ransomware attacks on Windows operating systems. The capability analyzes telemetry inside the endpoint agent so it can protect against the attacks in offline mode.
- Process code injection / DLL injection and process hollowing - Uptycs provides generic detection to process code injection and process hollowing on both Windows and Linux endpoints. Process code injection is a technique used by attackers to inject malicious code inside a trusted running process to evade detection.
- Master boot record (MBR) overwrite - Uptycs provides generic detection of MBR overwrite on Windows-based endpoints. MBR overwrite is a technique used by adversaries where the goal is to disrupt operations and make the system unusable.
- Lsass.exe memory credential dumping - To detect attacker attempts to steal credentials, Uptycs provides generic detection of lsass.exe (Local Security Authority Subsystem Service) memory credential dumping on Windows-based endpoints.

Trump lashes out at Barr: ‘He was weak, ineffective’
Former President Trump lashed out at his former Attorney General Bill Barr on Friday, calling him “weak” and “ineffective” and accusing Barr of failing to do more to tackle Trump’s baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
“Former Attorney General Bill Barr wouldn’t know voter fraud if it was staring him in the face – and it was,” Trump said in a statement. “The fact is, he was weak, ineffective, and totally scared of being impeached, which the Democrats were constantly threatening to do. They ‘broke’ him.”
Trump also accused Barr of refusing to act on Trump’s allegations of election fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election out of a desire to “save his own hide.”
Trump’s comments came after Barr told NBC News in an interview that the former president had become enraged when he told him that there was no evidence that the 2020 election was rigged. Barr’s opinion has been backed up by officials from both parties nationally and in key swing states.
“I told him that all this stuff was bullshit … about election fraud. And, you know, it was wrong to be shoveling it out the way his team was,” Barr said, recounting how Trump became “very angry” about the remarks.
Barr also said that he offered to resign from his post and that Trump accepted that offer. The former attorney general’s account is at odds with Trump’s claim that he was one who asked for Barr’s resignation.
More than 13 months after leaving the White House, Trump has continued to spread the false notion that the 2020 election was stolen from him and that he was the rightful winner of the presidential race.
He has also repeatedly defended many of his supporters who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, accusing Democrats and so-called “RINOs” — Republicans in name only — of targeting those individuals for political gain.
The House select committee responsible for investigating the Jan. 6 riot said in a court filing this week that it had uncovered evidence showing that Trump and his campaign tried to illegally obstruct Congress’s certification of electoral votes and “engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.”
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. | https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/596939-trump-lashes-out-at-barr-he-was-weak-ineffective/ | 2022-04-01T00:53:10Z |

Which telescope is best?
Staring up at the night sky, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with the sheer size of the galaxy. There are millions of things to look at, but you need the right equipment. If you’ve already started to peer at objects with binoculars, it might be time to upgrade to a telescope.
The right telescope for you largely depends on what you want to study, but the Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ is an excellent gadget to get you going. It’s easy to use and powerful enough to see every little detail.
What to know before you buy a telescope
Kinds of telescopes
When most people think of a telescope, they imagine a long tube with an eyeglass at one end. These typical models are called refractor telescopes and are only one type of many. The other popular choice is a reflector telescope, which gathers light through a mirror. There are also compound telescopes, which are wider than others. No matter the telescope type, you’re going to need a telescope bag to safely store and carry it.
The aperture determines what you can see
A telescope’s aperture is one of the most important components. Simply put, the aperture is how large the mirror is on the inside, which is directly related to how much light it can gather. The more light it gathers, the better the details and you can see fainter objects. The aperture is measured in millimeters, and you typically need larger mirrors depending on the surrounding light.
More darkness increases your enjoyment
The best conditions for using a telescope are in an area that has very little light pollution. For example, in a suburban neighborhood, you won’t see as many stars and galaxies as you would in an open field far away from the city. The size of the aperture can only help you up to a point, after which you might need to go somewhere else for viewing — or invest in a bigger aperture.
What to look for in a quality telescope
Lens and magnification accessories
Looking through a telescope lens is exciting, but you often want to see things in greater detail. Look for a telescope that has a variety of eyepieces and accessories. The most common eyepiece you’ll find is the Barlow lens for three-times magnification and the Infinity eyepiece. There are also eyepiece adapters that increase the magnification of the Barlow lens to 120x.
Automated Go-To feature
It’s always a good idea to study the night sky where you live. Make sure that you know which galaxies are where and you can identify the brightest stars. Luckily, you don’t have to pore over maps to see planets and formations; a good-quality telescope should have an automated Go-To feature. Through a handheld remote, you tell the telescope what you want to look at, and after a short calibration, it will automatically turn to align itself with the object.
Phone attachment and Bluetooth remote
It’s a great experience to look at distant planets or even our moon, but it’s more fun if you can take pictures of it, and a quality telescope may have a mobile phone attachment. It looks similar to a car holder, where the device is held in place over the eyepiece. By using the device’s default camera (and to reduce shaking), a Bluetooth remote will trigger the camera to snap a photo of the celestial body.
How much you can expect to spend on a telescope
The average price of a telescope can vary wildly depending on its capabilities and functions. An entry-level or kids’ telescope can retail for $40-$50, while an amateur telescope can retail for $100-$200. Much larger professional telescopes retail for $1,000-$2,000.
Telescope FAQ
Do you need to know where the stars are before using a telescope?
A. Not necessarily, but it will certainly be advantageous. If your telescope can track objects or automatically point toward them, the work is done for you, but if your telescope doesn’t have the function, it’s helpful to at least know where the brightest and most popular objects are.
Do telescopes require batteries to operate?
A. For the most part, they don’t. There are no electronic parts inside the telescope tube or eyepiece. If you’re looking at a model that has auto-tracking and a remote, you’ll need to insert rechargeable batteries into the controller.

Federal judge halts legal challenge to Madison Cawthorn’s candidacy
A federal judge on Friday blocked a legal challenge to Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s (R-N.C.) candidacy filed over allegations he helped spur the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill.
Richard Myers, a Trump-appointed federal judge in the eastern district of North Carolina, approved Cawthorn’s request for a preliminary injunction to the challenge to his reelection bid.
Eleven North Carolina voters filed the suit to the State Board of Elections in January, arguing that Cawthorn’s comments in the speech shortly before the insurrection violate the 14th Amendment, which states in part that no person “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”
Cawthorn the next month sued to have the effort dismissed, leading to his win Friday. However, the State Board of Elections could appeal Myers’ decision.
Rob Fein, the legal director of Free Speech For People, which is the co-lead counsel for the 11 voters, called for Friday’s decision to be reversed on appeal.
“This ruling, by Chief Judge Richard Myers II, a Trump appointee, is wrong on the law and would block the State Board of Elections from determining whether Cawthorn is ineligible under the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause of the US Constitution. The ruling must be reversed on appeal, and the right of voters to bring this challenge to Cawthorn’s eligibility must be preserved,” Fein said in a statement.
Cawthorn, meanwhile, hailed the ruling as a “HUGE VICTORY.”
Cawthorn, a conservative firebrand, is running in the newly created 13th Congressional District. He’s tied himself closely to former President Trump and railed over unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
“The Democrats, with all the fraud they have done in this election, the Republicans hiding and not fighting, they are trying to silence your voice,” he said the morning of the insurrection. “Make no mistake about it, they do not want you to be heard.”
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

Deals combine to more than 292,000 square feet of medical industrial and office space, including the Crothall Healthcare industrial building in Gilroy, California
GILROY, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mohr Capital, a Dallas-based privately held real estate investment firm, sold $65 million of deals over the past 80 days. This includes the recent sale of a 102,466-square-foot industrial building in Gilroy, California, to Four Springs Capital Trust. Mohr Capital sold two additional office buildings in Florida and Wisconsin, totaling more than 292,000 square feet of space, leading into 2022.
Located at 8190 Murray Ave., the property is fully leased to Crothall Healthcare. This mission-critical facility provides state-of-the-art laundry processing services to Northern California hospital systems, enabling them to continue providing medical care to patients. Kevin Moul with Colliers San Jose represented Mohr Capital throughout the transaction.
"We are pleased to have worked closely with Four Springs Capital Trust on this transaction. As our third transaction with Four Springs over the last 12 months, this transaction speaks to our deep partnership with Four Springs that we hope continues," said Rodrigo Godoi, managing director of investments for Mohr Capital. "Mission-critical facilities that serve regional hospitals like this still provide value in a market where occupiers and investors are redeveloping dysfunctional R&D product to suit their needs. We're pleased with the performance of this property, and we hope to continue to invest in the Bay Area's bustling industrial market in the future."
Additionally, Mohr sold a two-story, 78,449-square-foot office building in Orlando's Lee Vista Center business park to Falcon Global Real Estate Advisors. Located at 6272 Lee Vista Blvd., the building is fully leased to Accredo Health Group Inc., an Express Scripts company and subsidiary of the global health service company, Cigna. Prior to the sale, Mohr Capital worked with CBRE and CIGNA to secure CIGNA's long-term occupancy while at the same time lowering its occupancy costs.
Mohr also sold Riverwood Corporate Center II in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, in an off-market transaction to IRA Capital. The office building is fully occupied by ProHealth Care, the largest healthcare provider between Milwaukee and Madison. Shortly after acquiring the building, Mohr Capital worked closely with ProHealth to secure its long-term occupancy at the property through 2032.
"These three transactions support our trajectory to be a leading investor in mission-critical industrial and office facilities for the healthcare field," said Bob Mohr, founder and CEO of Mohr Capital. "We are always on the lookout for cutting-edge investment opportunities, and these sales were a great start to 2022."

Which letterman jacket is best?
Letterman jackets, also known as varsity jackets, are a great addition to any closet and fit a range of styles, from classic American to streetwear. They’re also great protection against the cold, and in some cases can be worn while skiing or during other intense outdoor winter activities.
If you’re in the market for a well-made letterman jacket that promises to keep you warm, stylish and comfortable, check out the Stewart & Strauss Original Varsity Letterman.
What to know before you buy a letterman jacket
Fit and cut
Although letterman jackets feature the same general design, there are numerous fits and cuts. If you want something with a modern streetwear look, consider something with a boxy, oversized fit. If you want it to accentuate the width of your shoulders, opt for a cinched waist and a wider shoulder measurement. Or if you’re chasing the traditional look, consider something from a classic brand such as Ralph Lauren.
Level of warmth
Before you purchase a new letterman jacket, consider how much warmth you want it to provide. Although it’s not traditional, you can find puffer letterman jackets with down insulation, such as the quilted bomber from Tommy Hilfiger. If you want something you can wear during the milder months of fall and spring, consider one made from cotton or lightweight wool.
What to look for in a quality letterman jacket
Materials
Regardless of what type of letterman jacket you choose, premium materials are a hallmark of high-quality ones. If you choose a traditional varsity jacket such as the Pro Standard, keep an eye out for genuine leather sleeves and natural wool blends. If you want a puffer, consider jackets with certified animal-cruelty-free down or recycled synthetic insulation.
Quality buttons
Because letterman jackets tend to have buttons instead of a zipper, the quality of the buttons is important. High-quality letterman jackets have strong buttons that securely snap into place with a distinctive sound. Keep your eye out for bonuses, such as interesting contrasting colors or luxurious polished chrome buttons.
How much you can expect to spend on a letterman jacket
As with most clothing, there is a wide range of prices when it comes to letterman jackets. Expect to spend $50-$100 for high-quality affordable jackets and anywhere between $150-$400 for luxury ones.
Letterman jacket FAQ
Should I hang or fold my letterman jacket?
A. We’re often told to avoid hanging wool or folding leather, the two main materials in most varsity jackets — but avoid folding them at all costs. Because the leather is supple and the wool is thick, folding will create creases difficult to remove. To avoid hanger bumps at the end of the shoulder, where the leather starts, get a wooden hanger with large, smooth curves that won’t press against the leather.
What’s the origin of the letterman jacket?
A. They were first worn by Harvard University baseball players in 1865 and were popular with the athletes who wore them throughout the first half of the 20th century. They became a fashion trend in the 1950s, worn by such stars as James Dean and Elvis Presley, and later by Michael Jackson. Japanese fashion designer Nigo recently made the look trendy again.

What happened
Two slightly encouraging pieces of news from vaccine specialist Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX) didn't prevent investors from trading its stock down on Thursday. The shares shed 1.5% of their value, essentially mirroring the performance of the S&P 500 index on the day.
So what
The first news item, and arguably the more important, is Novavax's announcement that it has submitted to expand the current conditional marketing authorization for its Nuvaxovid coronavirus vaccine in the European Union (EU). The company formally submitted its request to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the drug evaluator of the 27-country economic bloc.
Novavax is seeking to including people aged 12 to 17 in the CMA, buttressing its submission with phase 3 clinical data that tested the vaccine on 2,247 subjects within that age range.
"We are continuing to see spikes in COVID-19 across Europe and recognize the need to improve vaccination rates, particularly in the pediatric population," Novavax quoted its CEO Stanley Erck as saying. He added that his company "firmly believe[s] in the benefit of diversified vaccine options."
The healthcare company also announced that the deliveries of Nuvaxovid to Canada had commenced Tuesday, March 29. This followed that country's authorization for the jab, which occurred in February.
Now what
It's not unusual for Novavax stock to trade down on seemingly positive developments like the new EMA submission or the Canada supply news.
That's likely because neither event is unexpected or ground-breaking. Another factor is that they probably remind investors that Nuvaxovid is a relative latecomer in jurisdictions where mRNA-based vaccines Comirnaty from Pfizer and BioNTech, and Moderna's Spikevax, are much more well-established.
10 stocks we like better than Novavax
When our award-winning analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.*
They just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now... and Novavax wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.

WASHINGTON, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Executive Committee of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has appointed Beth Dwyer, Superintendent of Banking and Insurance for Rhode Island's Department of Business Regulation, to serve as NAIC members' representative on the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC). She will succeed recently retired Maine Bureau of Insurance Superintendent Eric Cioppa and will provide the Council with critical expertise and the perspective of state insurance regulators.
"Ensuring financial stability nationwide requires trust, clear communication, and close collaboration between the states and the federal government.

Joy Behar on Graham statement: ‘You don’t think that Putin could use that as propaganda?’
“The View” co-host Joy Behar raised concerns that Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) call to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin could be used by Putin as propaganda.
During a Friday segment on the show, “The View” played a clip of Graham’s remarks in an interview with Fox News, in which the senator called for someone to assassinate the Russian president.
“How does this end? Somebody in Russia has to step up to the plate. Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham said. “The only way this ends, my friend, is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country a great service and the world a great service.”
Behar said that the comments were confusing and asked the other co-hosts whether he was referring to assassinating Putin or if “someone should just take him down.”
“I don’t think that’s possible,” co-host Sara Haines replied.
Behar said that some people were calling for Graham’s resignation following his comments, asking the co-hosts how they thought it would end.
“I don’t think anybody knows where it ends right now. … Look, first of all, who cares what Lindsey says, right?” guest co-host Ana Navarro-Cárdenas asked.
“He’s a United States senator,” Behar interjected.
“Yeah, but you think any Russian general is going to be listening to what Lindsey Graham has said on Fox News?”
“What, you don’t think that Putin could use that as propaganda?” Behar asked.
Several Republicans have also slammed Graham’s remarks, calling it “an exceptionally bad idea” and “unhinged.”
But Graham defended his comments in an interview with Fox News on Friday morning, and a spokesperson for the senator told The Hill that the other lawmakers were entitled to their opinions.
“The Russian people are not our enemy. I’m convinced it’s a one-man problem surrounded by a few people,” Graham said in response to a question asking him to expand on his statements.
“But the best way for this to end is having Eliot Ness or Wyatt Earp in Russia — the ‘Russian Spring’ so to speak — where people rise up and take him down because if he continues to be their leader, then he’s going to make you complicit with war crimes,” the senator added.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

Which women’s shapewear is best?
Whether you have a special event coming up or just want to look your best for work, you’ll likely feel even more confident with the right women’s shapewear. Shapewear can help you achieve a perfectly smooth silhouette in dresses, skirts, pants and more.
Women’s shapewear features a snug, stretchy material that streamlines your figure. It’s available in many different styles, with some that slim your entire body, while others target specific areas. If you’re looking for shapewear to smooth your stomach, thighs and hips with light control, the Spanx Lightweight Layer Mid-Thigh Shaping Short is a perfect choice.
What to know before you buy women’s shapewear
Style
Women’s shapewear comes in many types and styles. You should pick one that smooths your silhouette while still feeling comfortable. Depending on the design, they can support your chest and buttock while smoothing your stomach, hips and thighs.
- Shaping bodysuits: These bodysuits are the most widely used shapewear. They resemble a one-piece swimsuit and usually have a closure in the crotch, making it easier to use the bathroom. A bodysuit works well underneath shirts, dresses, skirts, pants and more.
- Shaping slips/dresses: These dresses or slips are like a shaping bodysuit, but they feature a hem that hits around the knees. Shaping slips and dresses are only suitable for use under a dress or skirt.
- Shaping tanks/camisoles: These tops look just like a regular tank top or camisole but support your chest and smooth your stomach. They work well under most tops.
- Shaping underwear: These underwear come in many styles, including briefs. They work under nearly any type of bottom, including tight-fitting pants or skirts.
- Shaping shorts and leggings: These shorts or pants help smooth your stomach, hips and thighs. Some shorts-style shapewear end at the knees, while others go all the way to your calves or ankles.
Sizing
Your shapewear won’t have the right effect you want if you don’t get the right size. Wearing a piece that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and cause an uneven line in your clothing. Consult the shapewear sizing chart to determine your proper size. You’ll likely need to measure key areas of your body to determine your sizing, like your bust, waist and hips.
Material
Shapewear material is usually a combination of nylon and spandex. Pieces with more nylon typically offer the most slimming effect. You can find lightweight pieces with nylon/spandex blends, but you may prefer cotton or microfiber shapewear in hot weather.
What to look for in quality women’s shapewear
Control level
Some women’s shapewear pieces offer more control than others, so their slimming or smoothing effect is more obvious.
The most common control level options are:
- Light control: Light control shapewear doesn’t offer as much compression, so it works well for a general slimming effect. It’s also the most comfortable option if you wear shapewear every day.
- Firm control: Firm control shapewear provides more compression, so it’s ideal for smoothing out specific areas of the body.
- Extra-firm control: Extra-firm control shapewear offers the most compression and has pretty dramatic results. It tends to be more uncomfortable than other shapewear, though, so you may want to save it for special occasions.
Color
Most women’s shapewear comes in white, black and nude options. White and nude shapewear is perfect under light clothing because it won’t show through the material. Nude pieces are usually the most invisible option, though. You can find shapewear in some other colors, too, including pink, blue and red.
How much you can expect to spend on women’s shapewear
Women’s shapewear has a wide price range, costing $6-$100. You can usually find shaping underwear and tanks or camisoles for $6-$20, while shaping bodysuits, slips and dresses can cost $20-$60. For extra-firm control or full-body pieces, you will likely pay $60-$100.
Women’s shapewear FAQ
Is shapewear meant for everyday wear?
A. Some people like to wear light control shapewear every day to help them feel more confident in their clothing. If your shapewear is the correct size, you can wear it every day. However, firm- and extra-firm pieces may not be comfortable enough to wear daily.
What’s the best way to clean shapewear?
A. It depends on your shapewear’s materials, so always consult the care label to determine how to wash it. Most pieces require hand-washing and air-drying, but you may find some machine-washable shapewear.
What’s the best women’s shapewear to buy?

FRESNO, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The State of California recently launched its TECH Clean California initiative which is a $120 million program funded by California gas corporations to implement low emissions space and water heating units for single and multifamily homes.
For some homeowners considering a new air conditioning system, this California rebate can save them up to $7,000. Unlike solar incentives that require the homeowner to apply for the incentive with the State of California after the system is installed, the homeowner realizes the savings upfront with the TECH Clean California Initiative. The HVAC company that installs the system is then required to apply for reimbursement with the State.
To qualify, an electric heating and cooling unit must be installed by an approved HVAC company. Simon DeLaCerda, General Manager of Valley Air Conditioning and Repair has been installing these systems upon the launch and states, "I am pleased to offer the opportunity, we've seen incredible savings for homeowners and urge other homeowners to take advantage of this amazing deal".
The Switch Is On, is an educational campaign that has been launched to promote the TECH initiative and the benefits of home electrification. Learn more about the campaign through their site.

The genetic diversity of the Coronaviruses gives them different biological abilities, such as infect different cells and/or organisms, a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, their different routes of dispersion, and viral transmission in a specific host. In recent decades, different Coronaviruses have emerged that are highly adapted for humans and causing serious diseases, leaving their host of unknown origin. The viral genome information is particularly important to enable the recognition of patterns linked to their biological characteristics, such as the specificity in the host-parasite relationship. Here, based on a previously computational tool, the Seq2Hosts, we developed a novel approach which uses new variables obtained from the frequency of spike-Coronaviruses codons, the Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU) to shed new light on the molecular mechanisms involved in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) host specificity. By using the RSCU obtained from nucleotide sequences before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, we assessed the possibility of know the hosts capable to be infected by these new emerging species, which was first identified infecting humans during 2019 in Wuhan, China. According to the model trained and validated using sequences available before the pandemic, bats are the most likely the natural host to the SARS-CoV-2 infection, as previously suggested in other studies that searched for the host viral origin. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556593062810/human-liver-organoid-derived-intra-hepatic-bile-duct-cells-support-sars-cov-2-infection-and-replication | 2022-04-01T00:53:32Z |
Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest superhero is not, in the conventional sense, either "super" or a "hero," but he does have an unorthodox ailment and a weird skill-set to separate him from mere mortals. His name is Morbius, and while watching his origin story, you may get the feeling that somewhere in the cinematic multiverse, wires got crossed.
The film begins with a helicopter, transporting a cage to the sort of mist-shrouded isle you half expect King Kong to be inhabiting. But Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is looking to capture smaller game as he approaches the mouth of a cave, hobbling with difficulty on two crutch-like canes.
Positioning himself behind the wires of the cage, he slices open the palm of his hand and, as a roar of batwings echoes from inside the cave, murmurs to the copter pilot "if you're gonna run, do it now."
A rare blood disease treated with a bit o' bat
It's tempting to say "consider yourself warned," but the film's first hour or so, while unremarkable, is decently crafted.
Born with a rare blood disease, Michael Morbius has spent his entire life working on two things — a cure, and origami paper-folding. Natch, it occurs to him to fold together bat and human DNA.
Because the FDA would be unlikely to approve human trials, he and his beautiful co-researcher Martine (Adria Arjona) head in a cargo ship for international waters off the coast of Long Island in the company of eight thuggish mercenaries — think bloodbags — and once Morbius has been injected with bat DNA, it's just a matter of time before things go vampiric.
Let it be said that some side-effects from dabbling in "chiropter-y" are less ghastly than others. Bat DNA evidently gives you great cheekbones and abs to go with increased strength and speed.
Less salutary effects include new fangs that sprout from his gums with decades of decay baked in, and claws that erupt from his fingers pre-filthed. I mean, sure...why not? Except this is a man whose hair has the kind of sheen that comes from brushing it three times a day.
One other thing: he now needs to drink human blood every six hours. Happily, on his way to declining a Nobel Prize, Dr. Morbius invented "artificial blood," though that only fools his system for a while.
Color coded smoke effects for a Jekyll and his Hyde
If you're expecting a conventional Marvel movie, you should be aware going in that what Director Daniel Espinoza and his writers have come up with is more a horror flick with Marvel bells and whistles.
That means Leto's Morbius gets purplish smoke effects to go with those fang-baring snarls as he's riding air currents in subway tunnels, while the similarly afflicted Hyde to his Jekyll – a schoolboy chum played as an adult by an amusingly hopped-up Matt Smith, gets blue-ish vapor trails and snappier lines.
But there isn't much tension to their story. Or logic. At one point, Morbius overhears some counterfeiters passing fake $100s, and commandeers their printing press to make what appears to be an artificial-blood machine — because the technologies for fake-bills and fake-blood match up? Maybe that works better in a comic book.
Bat guys everywhere you look
Speaking of which, when the DC Extended Universe first announced that Twilight star Robert Pattinson would play the lead in The Batman in their corner of the superhero multiverse, it seemed like a nice inside joke — from Vampire-teen to Bat-man. But now that the Marvelverse has Leto going full Dracula, it seems as if the casting maybe could've gone the other way 'round.
Leto is as persuasively haunted by the dark side of vigilantism as Pattinson was, and as a result of corporate positioning, is maybe more determined to avoid being a villain. Not unlike Venom, Morbius was a bad guy when he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man comics, back in the 1970's. He needs to be at least an anti-hero now, if a franchise is to be built around him.
But bad guy/bat guy...who's to say? As the trailers reveal, another DC bat-guy, Michael Keaton, shows up in his non-batty baddie Marvel persona Adrian Toomes, just to mess with the heads of anyone trying to keep cinematic universes straight.
But bloodlines will have to be clarified in more robust "Morbius" episodes to come, this origin story being merely adequate, and by Marvel standards, slightly anemic.

At the Tampa Bay Lightning post-practice media scrum, Coach Jon Cooper updated the press on the condition of veteran defenseman Ryan McDonagh.
#TBLightning Jon Cooper said Ryan McDonagh could be back in another week. He’s been skating on own
— Joe Smith (@JoeSmithTB) March 30, 2022
McDonagh was injured in the Lightning’s loss to the Boston Bruins a couple of weeks ago when he blocked a shot. At the time he was ruled out “indefinitely” so for Coach Cooper to put something of a timeline on his return is a good sign. The Bolts will definitely want the rugged defender back in the line-up during their stretch run, but for now his absence is giving Cal Foote a chance to play a few games.
With the way the blueline has battled through injuries this season it’s good to get Foote and Zach Bogosian as much playing time as possible during the regular season as they will be called upon in the playoffs at some point. While McDonagh never wants out of the line-up, getting a couple of weeks on the sidelines isn’t the worst thing in the world as he’s likely to play some big minutes as the Lightning try to move up in the division.

Crunch’s successful March sets them up for a playoff run [Raw Charge]
With some stable goaltending for the first time all season, the Syracuse Crunch have moved into a playoff spot with a month to go in the season.
Lightning scorers are finding their way together [Tampa Bay Times]
After a bit of a funk, it seems the top players are starting to find their scoring grove again. Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, and Nikita Kucherov are on a line together, and are finding the back of the net. With sixteen games to go in the regular season, it’s nice to see them warming back up.
Observations from ‘the most complete game in a while’ [The Athletic]
Six power play goals in the last three games? Well, that’s a nice little stat. Penalty kill is 15-for-15 in the last four games? That’s an even better stat. Special teams have always been a big factor for the Lightning and with both sides middling a bit this season, it’s a great sign that both have been successful recently.
Minnesota Wild sign Alex Goligoski to two-year extension [Hockey Wilderness]
The Wild have locked up their 36-year-old hometown defenseman for another two years. At $2 million per year it’s not going to break the bank, but it does seem odd for a player that was recently a healthy scratch.
Taylor Hall fined for punch to the back of Ilya Lyubushkin’s head [NBC Sports]
In what was a rather feisty game, Hall responded to a hit from Lyubuskin along the boards by punching him in the back of the head. Not cool, Taylor. The league chose not to suspend him, but levy a $5,000 fine. You can imagine how well that went over with Toronto Maple Leaf fans.
How colorblind players see the game [FiveThirtyEight]
One of those articles that make you think, “Huh, I never thought about that.” Marisa Ingemi spoke with a few players in the league about what it’s like when the colors they see (or don’t see) are different from everyone else. My favorite part, Carter Hart thinking his dog was “dull-color-looking” until he saw him through color-corrective glasses.
NHL GM’s grateful for first in-person meeting since 2020 [TSN]
The GMs got together for some fun in the Florida sun, while also discussing some possible rule changes. For the first time since the pandemic they were all actually in a room together face-to-face. Not only is it much more productive that way than on video, it’s also a good place for them to start talking about some possible off-season deals. A lot of the summer deals that you see around draft time start at these meetings.
Boston’s reinforcements help Pride go back-to-back [The Ice Garden]
Much like the Lightning in their back-to-back Cups, the Boston Pride kept their core together but reloaded the line-up with the right parts to win the Isobel Cup two seasons in a row.

There are 13,475 new community Covid cases and 17 deaths today as this week shapes up to be the deadliest of the pandemic to date.
It takes the total number of publicly-reported deaths of people with Covid-19 to 355 and the seven-day rolling average to 17.
Seven of today's deaths were people from the Auckland region, two from Waikato, one from Bay of Plenty, one from Lakes DHB, one from Hawke's Bay, one from the Wellington region, one from Canterbury, one from the West Coast, and two were from the Southern region.
Two were aged in their 50s, four were in their 60s, five were in their 70s, three in their 80s and three were over 90.

The 17 deaths included people who had died over the past seven days, including 15 people who had died in the past two days.
Reporting delays could be due to people dying with, rather than from Covid, and the virus not being discovered until after they had died.
The locations of today's community cases are: Northland (563), Auckland (2392), Waikato (1182), Bay of Plenty (688), Lakes (355), Hawke's Bay (712), MidCentral (774), Whanganui (332), Taranaki (526), Tairāwhiti (172), Wairarapa (155), Capital and Coast (876), Hutt Valley (483), Nelson Marlborough (578), Canterbury (2,122), South Canterbury (267), Southern (1243) and the West Coast (56).

Advertise with NZME.Deadly week
As a review of the country's Covid protection settings fast approaches, this week is shaping up to be the deadliest of the pandemic to date.
As of yesterday, there were 338 deaths since Covid hit our shores in 2020. The majority had occurred during the current Omicron outbreak and modelling and health experts expect more people to lose their lives from the virus this month.
According to Ministry of Health data, last week was the deadliest seven-day period of the outbreak with 84 deaths.
Since Monday, reported deaths had already hit 81 with the likelihood the grim tally would surpass this and record a new deadly weekly high.
Director general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the number of deaths in New Zealand linked to Covid-19 was rising sadly - and the total number of deaths per million people was 59.
Of yesterday's 22 reported Covid-related deaths, one was from Northland, 10 were from the Auckland region, one was from Waikato, two were from Bay of Plenty, two were from the Lakes DHB, two were from the Wellington region and four were from Canterbury.
Two people who died were in their 50s, four people were in their 60s, three people were in their 70s, six in their 80s and seven were aged over 90.

Advertise with NZME.Just over 101,500 people had Covid in the community, with the seven-day rolling average of new daily cases sitting at 14,515.
There were 830 people in hospital with 26 in intensive care.
Different pattern
Bloomfield said it appeared there was a different pattern emerging this outbreak in the main metropolitan centres compared with the regions.
In Auckland, Capital and Coast and Hutt Valley DHBs, which are confined to the cities, the outbreak went up quite quickly, peaked and was coming down quite quickly, he said.
In the regions, the outbreak was developing more slowly and there was a more sustained peak.
There was also a pattern of lower hospitalisations rates in the regions. Tairāwhiti, for example, had the highest case rate in the country over the past two weeks, but had only ever had a handful of hospitalisations.

In recent days Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins indicated he was yet to have "a firm leaning" for Monday's review of traffic light settings.
"We'll be following closely the public health advice we get over the weekend."
The main difference between red and orange was the size of indoor gatherings, he said. There is no limit under orange.
"The main thing we're all looking for is where we're at in terms of the overall peak."
In some parts of the country, case numbers were continuing to trend up, he said.

Bloomberg, CNN, BBC halt operations in Russia
Bloomberg, CNN and the BBC on Friday announced that they would be halting operations in Russia after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed legislation that makes independent reporting in the country a crime.
“CNN will stop broadcasting in Russia while we continue to evaluate the situation and our next steps moving forward,” the network said in a statement.
BBC Director-General Tim Davie issued a statement saying that the British-based broadcaster’s service in Russia would now conduct its operations outside of the country.
“This legislation appears to criminalise the process of independent journalism. It leaves us no other choice than to temporarily suspend the work of all BBC News journalists and their support staff within the Russian Federation while we assess the full implications of this unwelcome development,” Davie said.
“The safety of our staff is paramount and we are not prepared to expose them to the risk of criminal prosecution simply for doing their jobs,” he added.
People urging for sanctions against Russia or those found spreading “fake news” about the Russian forces can be sentenced up to 15 years in prison under the legislation, according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait similarly said that the legislation signed by Putin would make it hard for them to be able to continue producing journalism within the country.
“We have with great regret decided to temporarily suspend our news gathering inside Russia,” Micklethwait said, according to Bloomberg. “The change to the criminal code, which seems designed to turn any independent reporter into a criminal purely by association, makes it impossible to continue any semblance of normal journalism inside the country.”
The news comes as Russian independent news outlets have announced they have suspended coverage — a rapid change of events that have taken place in the last week since Russia began its invasion into Ukraine.
The Hill has reached out to Bloomberg for comment.

Chris Rock Shuts Down Audience Member Cursing Out Will Smith at His Comedy Show in Boston
Chris Rock continues to keep things positive.
The comedian, 57, returned to The Wilbur in Boston on Thursday, following two standup shows the night before at which he broke his silence about the 94th Academy Awards.
After Rock took the stage on Thursday, dressed in an all-white ensemble much like the night before, he began his set by once again addressing the weekend. (On Sunday, Rock was smacked in the face by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars after the presenter made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's appearance.)
However, at this particular show, an audience member yelled out, "F--- Will Smith!" Rock, who did not engage with "Will Smith" chants the night before, responded this time around by immediately shutting it down. "No, no, no, no, no..." Rock replied.
At Rock's shows on Wednesday — his first appearance since presenting at the Academy Awards — he said that he was "still processing what happened" over the weekend. During his late-night set, he also told the crowd, "I haven't talked to anyone, despite what you heard."
Though he did not mention Smith by name at either show on Wednesday, he seemed to imply that he hasn't yet spoken with the King Richard star directly despite reports earlier this week that Sean "Diddy" Combs said the pair had made amends. (It was later reported that Combs never confirmed a reconciliation.)
RELATED: Chris Rock Says 'I Haven't Talked to Anyone Despite What You Heard' at Comedy Show Following Oscars
Following Sunday night's televised altercation, ticket sales for Rock's upcoming Ego Death tour dates saw a spike in popularity, according to secondary ticket seller TickPick.
During the 2022 Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Rock presented the Best Documentary Feature award, taking time to crack a few jokes, including one about Smith's wife. He made a gag about her hair matching Demi Moore's shaved head in the movie G.I. Jane, which Pinkett Smith recently opened up about, revealing it was a result of having alopecia.
Pinkett Smith, 50, was visibly unamused by the joke, rolling her eyes from her seat.
Seconds later, Smith, 53, walked onstage and approached Rock, smacking him in front of the audience and millions watching the telecast at home. Back at his table, Smith shouted to a stunned Rock: "Keep my wife's name out of your f-----g mouth." Smith remained seated with his wife at his table for the rest of the night. Rock declined to press charges.
When Smith won Best Actor later in the ceremony, he apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees, but did not mention Rock. In his tearful speech, he spoke about acting out of love and protection, saying, "Love makes you do crazy things."
On Monday, Smith publicly apologized to Rock in a statement shared on Instagram, saying, "I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."

He also said, "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally."
"... I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family," continued Smith. "I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress."
Also on Monday, the Academy said in a statement, "The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night's show. We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law."

On Wednesday, the Academy said that Smith was actually asked to leave after the incident but "refused."
"Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated," read a statement issued to PEOPLE. "While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently."
Wednesday's statement from the Academy also said, "The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy's Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy."
"At the next board meeting on April 18, the Academy may take any disciplinary action, which may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct," the statement said.
Oscars producer Will Packer will appear Friday on Good Morning America, giving T.J. Holmes his account of how the debacle unfolded on Sunday's awards show, after the Academy said Smith was asked to leave. | https://people.com/movies/chris-rock-shuts-down-audience-member-cursing-out-will-smith-at-his-comedy-show-in-boston/ | 2022-04-01T00:53:35Z |
The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday urged the Centre to extend the period of goods and services tax (GST) compensation by at least two years beyond June 2022. The state has highlighted that its revenues are yet to recover and a huge revenue shortfall could be expected in the absence of the compensation.
Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi and handed over a memorandum detailing issues, including GST compensation to the states. In the last five years, there has been a gap between the actual GST revenues realised by the state and the revenue guaranteed. This trend was visible even before the pandemic and the gap has widened after the pandemic, Stalin pointed out.
This year, considering the Covid situation, the Centre continues funding of GST compensation by its open market debt arrangement to meet out shortfall in GST compensation cess collection. Accordingly, out of total compensation of Rs 21,781 crore was receivable by the state in 2021-22, but up to February 2022, the state has received a loan amount of Rs 8,095 crore. The balance compensation of Rs 13,505 crore was pending as on February 28, 2022, in the form of GST arrears to Tamil Nadu. “We urge that this amount may be released at the earliest,” Stalin said.
Through the enactment of the GST (Compensation to the States) Act, 2017, the states have been assured a revenue growth of 14% in GST with reference to the revenue collections made in the year 2015-16 and any shortfall thereon will be met using GST compensation cess collected by the Centre.
It may be pointed out that for FY 2020-21, the states were informed that the cess collections in the compensation cess fund were expected to be adversely impacted due to the economic impact of Covid-19. Accordingly, the states were given two borrowing options in lieu of GST compensation for FY 2020-2021.
As per option-1, Tamil Nadu had received a loan amount of Rs 6, 241 crore and grant amount of Rs 5,161 crore during FY21. The Centre has released previous year arrears of Rs 7,235.8 crore in FY22, including a Rs 539-crore arrear amount for 2018-19, the chief minister said.
On the issue of sharing proceeds of cess and surcharge with the states, the Tamil Nadu government has pointed out that the levy of cesses and surcharges must be reversed immediately, and all such cesses and surcharges must be merged with the basic rate of tax so that the states receive their legitimate share of the revenue.
It is the serious concern of the state that the size of the divisible pool of taxes is steadily shrinking as the government of India is increasingly resorting to levy of cesses and surcharges which are not shareable with the states.
The 14th Finance Commission in its report has observed that the cesses are meant to be fully utilised for the purposes for which they are levied. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has also drawn the attention to the lack of transparency and incomplete reporting in accounts on the utilisation of amounts collected under cesses. Similarly, surcharges are meant to be levied only for short periods and pointed out the states concern on the levy of cesses and surcharges. | https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/tamil-nadu-seeks-extension-of-gst-compensation-period-by-at-least-two-years-beyond-june-2022/2478158/ | 2022-04-01T00:53:35Z |

Which Maytag top-load washer is best?
Everyone needs to wash their clothes and no one likes doing it by hand. Maytag top-load washers have all the features you want and need, and its prices are difficult to beat. And the best Maytag top-load washer is the Maytag 5.3-Cubic-Foot Smart-Capable Top-Load Washing Machine. It has plenty of space for handling large loads, and it’s Energy Star certified.
What to know before you buy a Maytag top-load washer
Pros and cons of a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag top-load washers have several pros and cons.
- Pros: Top-load washers are more affordable than front-loaders, and Maytag is an affordable mid-range brand. They are easier to load and unload and tend to have larger capacities and quicker cycles than front-loaders. They also have a lower leak risk.
- Cons: Top-load washers tend to make more noise as the wash basket knocks against the walls. They use more energy and water than front-loaders, even if they’re high-efficiency. They can’t be stacked, either, which may leave you with too little space in your laundry room.
Size and capacity
Maytag top-load washers have an external size and an internal capacity. The two rarely directly correlate.
- Size determines how much space your washer will take up. As top-loaders can’t be stacked, size is of greater importance with them than with a front-loader. You need to leave room for your dryer, after all.
- Capacity determines how many clothes can be washed at once and is given in cubic feet. Small households can comfortably get by with less than 4 cubic feet while large households will likely need 5 cubic feet or more.
High efficiency
High-efficiency Maytag top-load washers use less energy and water but clean just as effectively. They usually have larger capacities, but you can still find small-capacity models. The only downside is the need to use specialized HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will break your HE washer.
Impeller vs. agitator mixers
Maytag top-load washers use either impeller or agitator mixers.
- Impeller mixers use a no-post disk that rotates, causing clothes to gently rub against each other to scrub out stains. There’s no risk of tearing but the clothes may not get as clean.
- Agitator mixers use a center post with fins that twists back and forth, forcing clothes to sharply rub against each other to scrub out stains. Clothes tend to get cleaner but there’s a risk of damage.
What to look for in a quality Maytag top-load washer
Cycle options
Most Maytag top-load washers have multiple cycle options outside of the standards such as delicate and large load. Some of the more common cycles include deep-water rinse, extra power and a customizable cycle that can be saved.
Energy Star certification
When a Maytag top-load washer is listed as Energy Star certified, it has been independently examined and observed to meet the minimum requirements for energy efficiency. This means it will have less impact on the environment and your bank account. It’s important to point out “minimum” here, as you’ll need an Energy Star-certified high-efficiency washer for maximum efficiency.
How much you can expect to spend on a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag is an excellent mid-range brand and its prices reflect that. Its best and biggest options rarely exceed $1,000 with most washers costing $800-$1,000. Its cheapest cost around $600.
Maytag top-load washer FAQ
How do I fix a Maytag top-load washer that isn’t draining?
A. There are two likely causes. The first is simply that you overfilled your washing machine. However, if that isn’t the case, the issue is likely with your plumbing — most probably some kind of clog in the line. You’ll need to hire a plumber.
What kind of Maytag top-load washer is quietest?
A. No washing machine will ever be quiet, but there are a few aspects you can prioritize that lead to quieter operation. Look for high-efficiency washers and those with impeller mixers. Also, consider placing your Maytag washer as far from common spaces as possible.

“We were being bombarded,” Hamilton said.
Like hundreds of communities across the United States, Hamilton’s neighborhood had become the target of large companies amassing empires of suburban homes for rent. Since the Great Recession, when millions of Americans lost their homes to foreclosure, these companies have been expanding their portfolios of tens of thousands of single-family houses, a disproportionate number of them located in majority-Black neighborhoods like Potters Glen.
The rise of investor purchases has spawned complaints that the companies, flush with Wall Street money, are pricing out first-time home buyers and renting to tenants who have not been properly screened. In Potters Glen, one house owned by Invitation Homes, a $24 billion company created by a Wall Street firm, drew several reports of illegal drugs and gunfire, according to police reports and neighbors.
Facing the influx, Hamilton started asking: “Can’t we stop them?”
The answer, it turns out, appears to be yes.

Using the same legal authority that allows homeowners associations to punish people who fail to cut their grass, the Potters Glen board erected a hurdle for investors: a new rule required any new home buyer to wait two years before renting it out.
Since the board adopted the rule in 2019, property records show the pace of investor purchases has dropped by more than half.
“We didn’t want to become a renter’s paradise,” said Hamilton, a retired executive assistant from Ohio. “We want people who are going to plant flowers and trees because it’s their home.”
As neighborhoods in several states have moved to adopt similar rules, advocates for rental home companies argue that the restrictions make housing less affordable. They say rental exclusions also can be discriminatory, echoing a past when real estate restrictions were used to keep out racial minorities, and have asked state legislatures in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, as well as North Carolina, to protect them from such restrictions.
“Preventing single-family rental home companies — of any size — from purchasing homes in a community does nothing but reduce the availability of affordably priced rental housing,” said David Howard, executive director of the National Rental Home Council.
Invitation Homes, one of several big firms that own houses in Potters Glen, called the rental restrictions “prejudicial, discriminatory, uninformed, and misaligned with the concept of fair housing.” The company said it was “disheartened by the trend of HOAs [homeowners associations] determining that renters are not welcome in their neighborhoods.”
Of the house in Potters Glen where neighbors had reported gunfire, Invitation Homes said it had used a reputable third-party screening company to vet the adult tenants — and that it eventually asked them to leave.
Hamilton scoffed at the idea that the new rules discriminate against renters, arguing that the board has the right to encourage homeowners to live in the community.
“Don’t get me wrong — there are some very good renters in this neighborhood,” she said. “But people who own their homes usually take more pride in their property, and we wanted to make sure we keep a place for them.”
Corporate landlords take stakes in U.S. suburbia
As investors have targeted the American suburbs, faraway companies have begun to take over entire blocks. Last year, investors bought nearly 1 in 7 homes sold in the nation’s top metropolitan areas — the most in two decades of record-keeping, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from realty company Redfin.
In Charlotte and elsewhere, according to The Post’s analysis, investors have purchased a disproportionate number of homes in neighborhoods where a majority of residents are Black. Last year, 30 percent of home sales in majority Black neighborhoods across the nation were to investors, compared with 12 percent in other Zip codes, The Post’s analysis shows.
In Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County, landlords backed by Wall Street own roughly 11,500 houses — more than 4 percent of single family homes, according to an analysis last year by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte Urban Institute. Most of the houses are in the starter home price range, “likely putting the most pressure on the lower end of the market,” said the institute’s Ely Portillo.
Most of those purchases were made by one of six major out-of-state companies: Progress Residential, American Homes 4 Rent and Invitation Homes each owned more than 2,000 homes, according to the Urban Institute analysis, while Tricon, Amherst Residential and FirstKey each had more than 1,000 homes.
Faced with this surge of corporate landlords, many homeowners associations have begun to fight back.
At the Reserve at Back Creek, a subdivision of 39 houses near UNC-Charlotte, neighbors last year adopted a rule requiring an owner to live in a house for a year before renting it out. No more than 18 percent of the houses can be approved for rental at any time.
“Our main concern was with the faceless investment groups who were buying the homes more than just the renters,” said Justin Kerner, 41, a former association board member. “If we’re sending a notice about garbage on the lawn to a company in Las Vegas, it’s going to end up on the desk of someone who doesn’t care what the neighborhood looks like.”
At Avalon at Mallard Creek, a community of 110 townhouses not far from Potters Glen, a shooting last year that damaged several properties prompted the neighborhood to impose a one-year waiting period on rentals and cap them at 40 percent of units. They also required leases to be approved by the homeowners association board, which can reject a rental agreement based on investigative background reports.
“Six homes had bullet holes,” said Keri Miller, the homeowners association treasurer. The shooting, which involved outsiders targeting a tenant in a rental, Miller said, made her not only fearful but angry that the association had to pay for the repairs.
“Our gate was broken. We had all this traffic coming in and there was this shootout,” Miller recalled. “At this point I said, ‘This has to stop.’”
Since the new rules took effect, some investors have sold their properties, Miller said. The homeowners association has organized monthly neighborhood cleanups and property values have risen, she said.
“It’s working,” she said.
Worried neighbors come to a consensus
Restricting rentals is not always easy. Charlotte attorney Mike Hunter said homeowners associations come to him about once a week asking for advice. Some, like Potters Glen, are worried about long-term corporate leases, while others want to curtail short-term rentals offered by companies like Airbnb and VRBO.
In North Carolina, Hunter said, at least 67 percent of homeowners in a community typically must approve new rules, and reaching that threshold can be a challenge.
“There can often be a lot of apathy in neighborhoods. A lot of people don’t even bother to return the ballots,” he said. “But if the rental properties are causing a lot of problems, it’s much more likely that residents will rally and approve restrictions.”
The going initially was slow in Potters Glen. The homeowners association board seemed desperate for members when Hamilton moved from Ohio in 2015. A year later, she was board president.
She was, in a way, a natural pick. Formerly the executive assistant to the city manager of Middletown, Ohio, Hamilton knew her way around meetings, boards and votes.
“I’m a meticulous person. I believe in order,” she said.
Walking out her front door one February afternoon, she shook her head at lawn equipment littering the yard of a nearby home, a corporate rental.
“It irritates me every time I set foot outside,” she said “There’s so much clutter. So … unkempt.”
The idea for rental restrictions rose during an all-day board meeting in 2018. Gathered at a local Holiday Inn, Hamilton asked board members how to improve the neighborhood. They considered, among other things, whether to prohibit chain-link fences, whether sex offenders and other felons should be allowed in, and whether residents should be permitted to keep pit bulls and Rottweilers, breeds previously forbidden.
But the main topic was renters. The 280 houses of Potters Glen, most of them built in the early 2000s, are conveniently located between Uptown Charlotte and the UNC-Charlotte campus. Investors were flocking to their neighborhood.
“I’d never heard of these companies who wanted to buy in all of a sudden,” said Andrea Turner, a board member who worked with Hamilton to pass the rules. “We looked them up and realized they weren’t from Charlotte. We wondered: What do they want with us?”
So along with the ideas about the Rottweilers and felons, the board had a lawyer draft the rental restrictions and put up them up for a vote. They were not immediately popular.
“People didn’t like the idea at first. Some were worried that they wouldn’t be able to rent their properties,” Hamilton said. “But we assured them that the rental restrictions would not apply to the owners at the time.”
After three community meetings, Hamilton and Turner won the neighborhood over, and more than three-fourths of the community voted for the rental restrictions.
“People realized we couldn’t just become a community of renters,” Hamilton said. “These are our homes. We had too much to lose.”
The trouble with some rental homes persisted, however. In the spring of 2020, multiple police visits to the Invitation Homes property prompted Hamilton to write a letter to company CEO Dallas Tanner demanding more intensive screening.
“Would you want to live next door to lawless people?” she wrote. “I must express my disappointment. … This home has been a problem where the [police department] has been called out on several occasions.”
Invitation Homes did not renew the renters’ lease, but it didn’t immediately kick them out. In a statement, the company said that the incident in May 2020 “involved minors” and that the company notified the adult tenant that the lease would not be renewed when it expired a few months later.
Before the lease expired, however, police visited the block twice more, once after a drive-by shooting at the house in August, according to police reports. After that incident, the company said it asked the tenants to leave.
“When the shooting occurred in August, we asked the resident to vacate the home, which they did,” the company said.
The rental restrictions have slowed the pace of investor purchases in Potters Glen, however. In each of the three years before the rental limits, investment groups purchased about 12 homes in the subdivision. Since then, the pace has slowed to about four per year, according to property records.
Companies affiliated with some of the nation’s big rental firms have continued to purchase homes at Potters Glen, according to property records. Invitation Homes bought one in September 2020, about a year after the rental limits went into effect. The company said that the “neighborhood restriction was not noted in our system.”
Amherst, bought one, too. In a statement, the company said it aims to work collaboratively with homeowners associations and that “it does not appear this waiting period was communicated [to us] in documentation related to purchase of this home.”
‘Investors will not be considered’
Hamilton, meanwhile, recently learned that spurning investors can come with a cost.
After completing her term as board president, she put her home up for sale. She and her husband had moved to Charlotte to help her daughter raise their grandchildren. Now it was time now to go back to Ohio, where she has family.
Adamant that she would not sell to rental companies, Hamilton added a line to the real estate listing for her home: “Per seller, investors will not be considered!”
Investors tried anyway, deluging her real estate agent with calls. The Hamiltons received seven bids offering all-cash payment, according to her agent, Andre Dockery. But they took the one that came with a personal letter.
“Thank you for the opportunity to make an offer on your beautiful home,” began the letter from a teacher working at a local school who had two kids, ages 9 and 3. The 9-year-old had already claimed rights to a purple bedroom.
The teacher’s offer was $13,000 less than the investors’ highest offer. But, Hamilton said, “She touched my heart.” | https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/03/31/charlotte-rental-homes-landlords/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wp_homepage | 2022-04-01T00:53:38Z |
A latest victim of gun violence in Tulsa was a mother who, according to social media, had just turned 27 years old.
According to Tulsa Police, Elizabeth Dillard’s body was found on her porch in Turley, on Friday, Mar. 25 around 7:30 a.m. In a statement posted to Facebook, TPD said Dillard was probably shot as she headed inside her house during the early morning hours.
Lt. Brandon Watkins said Dillard’s children were just inside.
“It bothers everybody. You don’t want to see a mother killed with her children literally feet away,” said Watkins.
Watkins said the children are now with a family member.
On social media, Dillard posted about being financially independent and advertised a presence on and off OnlyFans, a subscription website known for its sexual content.
Phoenix Calida of advocacy group Sex Workers Outreach Project said sex workers are at a much higher risk for violence due to stigma even as demand for their work reaches unprecedented levels.
“It’s considered very shameful to engage in sex work, whether that’s in-person sex work or even something online like OnlyFans,” said Calida. “That gives abusers and predators a little bit of a green light in their heads to be like, ‘Oh, I can also abuse this person because they’re only a sex worker.”
Dillard, whose family and friends haven’t been reachable, had two sons and one daughter. Aside from family shots, she posted photos of food and fashion online.
TPD said they are still investigating. | https://www.publicradiotulsa.org/local-regional/2022-03-31/young-woman-murdered-in-turley-was-mother-whose-children-were-nearby-as-she-was-shot | 2022-04-01T00:53:38Z |

Whitehorse city council has moved forward with the first two readings of a bylaw that would set the lease for Alkan Air to use dock space at more than $9,000 a year.
Council voted in favour of first and second reading March 28, a week after Pat Ross, the city’s manager of land and building services, brought forward the recommendation it move ahead following a further review of the proposed lease that was requested by council.
Council had asked for the review after Alkan Air expressed concerns over the lease amount.
As Alkan Air president Wendy Taylor told council, the new lease rate has jumped from about $900 under the former agreement to $9,050 for the new deal. This is based on the new city policy for such agreements, which is based on 10 per cent of the land’s value.
Alkan worked with city staff to bring down the cost, reducing the leased land to 0.168 hectares, but $9,050 was the lowest it could come down to within the policy before bringing it back to council.
Council opted then to send the lease back to administration for a further review of potential options to reduce the proposed lease rate.
Ross explained that staff looked at Alkan’s idea of a seasonal rate, which Alkan proposed as it only uses the site through the summer months.
For a seasonal rate though, Alkan would be required to be off the property and the land vacant by a set end-of season date.
“Vacating the land would include removing all buildings and/or equipment belonging to Alkan,” Ross stated in his report. “As per the previous lease, all of the buildings on-site are considered property of the lessee (Alkan). Allowing private equipment and buildings to remain on city property outside the terms of a lease would be a liability to the city. As confirmed by Alkan, it is not feasible to undertake this work on an annual basis.”
A review of lease rates in other jurisdictions found many areas base their rates on a percentage of land value.
In Yellowknife, commercial use leases are five per cent of the market value plus a $10,000 environmental security fee; while the Yukon government standard lease rate is not less than 10 per cent of market value.
“Based on the review by administration, the City of Whitehorse commercial lease rate of 10 per cent of market value is similar to the rates in other northern jurisdictions,” Ross said.
The report concluded there would be not justification to reduce the lease rate.
“Council may defer the lease and request that administration bring forward draft amendments to the Lease, Encroachment and Property Use Policy that reduce the commercial lease rate and update other sections of the policy,” Ross said. “However, initial research shows that the city’s lease rate is comparable to other jurisdictions. Additionally, this process could cause significant delays in finalizing the lease that may not be desirable to Alkan.”
It was also noted that Alkan had been notified the lease would be calculated at a rate of 10 per cent of the market value, per the city’s policy. Alkan signed the lease with no guarantee that council would reconsider the rate, Ross stated in his report.
During council discussion on the lease, council members confirmed with staff that Alkan submitted the only expression of interest in the lease when it was put out to the public and that there are provisions in the proposed lease that could allow Alkan to sublease the space in the off-season.
At council’s March 28 meeting, Coun. Ted Laking said he still had some concerns with the lease but ultimately decided to vote in favour after raising some questions about the leased area.
Coun. Kirk Cameron also raised questions about the impact lowered water levels in Schwatka Lake to address flood risk could have on float plane operators, with Mayor Laura Cabott noting John Streicker, the territorial minister responsible for the Yukon Energy Corp., had reached out about that and discussions would be upcoming on this topic.
