They appear here and there, caught by death, in their bloodied uniforms, haphazardly from a ditch or a door riddled with shrapnel. A dozen corpses of Russian soldiers were scattered on Wednesday (30) on the eastern outskirts of Kharkiv.
The Ukrainian army regained control of part of the highway, loosening the Russian siege of the second city of the Ukraine.
“There are ones everywhere,” says a Ukrainian intelligence officer during an army-organized tour along this four-lane road and in the neighboring village of Mala Rogan, three kilometers further north.
The fighting “lasted almost three days to free” this stretch of road that connects Kharkiv to Chuguyv, he explained. East of Chuguiv, however, this same road is cut: the bridge over the river Donets was destroyed during the night by bombing, noted AFP.
Near Kharkiv, “the road was under fire from Russian forces who killed civilians. We pushed them back about ten kilometers further north,” says a commander of the 92nd Brigade, one of the main units involved in the city’s defense.
The body of a Ukrainian, in civilian clothes, killed a few days earlier, still lies on the side of the road, next to a bullet-riddled van. In a ditch, below the side of the road, another corpse, that of a Russian soldier this time, with its fingers pointing to the sky.
Passports, various ID documents, credit cards show young faces, with birth dates around the 2000s.
On the edge of a plowed field a few hundred meters away, a Russian position was completely destroyed. Two armored personnel carriers, vaguely hidden behind a fence, their weapons aimed at Kharkiv, are half-charred amid abandoned military objects.
Here the soldiers were able to escape. But at the next fighting post, the corpses of five soldiers, heavy helmets on their heads, lie here and there, one at the bottom of their trench, the others on the ground.

civilian clothes
Everywhere, in the fields, in the bush or on the nearby road, holes from grenades, remains of bombs or other deadly rockets, witnesses the intense bombing.
The soldiers russians “were exhausted”, especially “young people who were starving”. There were nearly 120 in this area, of which “forty” were taken prisoner, the intelligence official said.
How many died?
No Ukrainian soldier ventures to give a precise number. The swing on the opposite side seems to leave them indifferent. An officer conjures up “dozens” of dead Russians.
What is certain is that Russian forces found themselves surrounded by surprise on this eastern part of the front around Kharkiv and, in particular, trapped in Mala Rogan, according to concurring sources.
The village was recaptured over the weekend, but clean-up operations took nearly three days, house by house, as many Russian soldiers took refuge in basements.
This Wednesday (30), an ambulance began to collect the bodies in plastic bags: one near a bus, another two at the entrance of a hovel that had been visibly used in recent weeks by soldiers. One of them wore civilian clothes over khakis. “They had been there for weeks, dressed like the people here to better infiltrate our lines,” said a Ukrainian police officer.
Few civilians reappeared on the streets. A couple repairs a roof, damaged by a bomb that left a 10-meter-wide crater in the neighboring alley.
Old ladies, with flower scarves, collect oranges, cookies and other food distributed by the army. They evoke some thirty people held hostage by Russian soldiers on the first floor of the village school, including girls who “were raped”. An old man, with a cap on his head, also complains. Three Russian soldiers broke into his house for days. “Give me a rifle and I’ll kill a Russian!” he shouted. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/04/01/russian-siege-eases-giving-way-to-dead-bodies-in-eastern-kharkiv/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:29Z |

Oscars' guests and viewers are still reeling over Will Smith's surprising and infamous onstage slap of comedian Chris Rock, who joked about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair. Shortly after, Smith went onstage to accept the Best Actor Oscar for his role in King Richard.
Will Packer, producer of the Academy Award, ceremony told the ABC News show Good Morning America that Los Angeles police officers were ready to arrest Will Smith if Rock wanted to press charges.
"They were saying, 'This is battery.' That was the word they used in that moment," Packer told T.J. Holmes, in an exclusive interview that was teased during ABC's World News Tonight. "They said, 'We will go get him. We are prepared. We will go get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him. They were laying out the options. And as they were talking, Chris was, he was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, 'No, I'm fine.' He was like, 'no, no, no.' And even to the point where I said, 'Rock, let them finish.'"
In the clip, Packer said after the officers finished laying out what Rock's options were, "they said, 'Would you like us to take any action? And he said no.'"
Packer also said he did not speak to Smith at all on Oscar night. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released a statement saying Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused.
In his acceptance speech, Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees for the incident, but not Rock. On Instagram the following day, Smith wrote that he was embarrassed by his behavior and told Rock he was sorry. Still, the Academy began disciplinary proceedings against Smith-- which could include "suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted."
SAG-AFTRA is also weighing sanctions against Smith.
On Wednesday night, Rock was onstage in Boston with a new comedy routine. He didn't say much about the slap. "I'm still kind of processing what happened," he said, adding that at some point he will talk about it "and it will be serious and funny."

For a few minutes on a cold afternoon, a paved parking lot at Expo Square became a ball field again Thursday.
Expo Square officials, Tulsa County commissioners, the Tulsa Drillers and former players dedicated a plaque at the spot where home plate was located at the ballpark where professional baseball was played from 1934-80.
After the 15-minute ceremony, Tulsa baseball historian Wayne McCombs delivered a couple of ceremonial “first pitches” to former major league catcher Rick Wrona. After that, baseballs were tossed around where the infield once was as the players and other ceremony participants enjoyed a game of catch.
About 100 people attended the ceremony, which was inspired by McCombs. He first discussed nearly 30 years ago with friends Mike Porter and Greg Criser having some type of marker placed on the site of the old ballpark, which was known as Texas League Park from 1934-60, Oiler Park from 1961-76 and Driller Park from 1977-80.
McCombs and Porter researched where the exact site of home plate was located and marked it initially with an “X.” Years later, McCombs wanted to have something more permanent done and contacted Tulsa County Commissioner Karen Keith and Expo Square officials, and that eventually led to Thursday’s ceremony.

McCombs, Porter, Glen Turner and the Tulsa Drillers purchased the home plate plaque, which Expo Square installed.
“Every community needs a Wayne McCombs to keep a lot of this history alive and bring the group together on a regular basis,” said Drillers President Mike Melega, whose team has played downtown at ONEOK Field since 2010.
Ted Davis, the winning pitcher for Tulsa in Driller Park's final game on Aug. 30, 1980, was at the ceremony. Driller Park’s successor, eventually known as Drillers Stadium, was being constructed a few hundred yards east during the ’80 season and was home to the team from 1981-2009.
“The bulldozer was in right field as they were already tearing down the walls as we were showering,” Davis said. “It was an honor to pitch there while also looking ahead to the future.”
Several items from the old ballpark were brought back to the site just for the ceremony, including the outfield distance signs. The 390-foot sign was placed on a fence in center field, exactly 390 feet from home plate.
Jay Sage, who is in his 41st year as a Drillers season-ticket holder, worked at the old ballpark on the hand-operated scoreboard in 1957-58 and on the ground crew from 1962-67. He brought back the home plate and pitching rubber used from the final game and also had other nostalgic items, such as a ’57 autographed baseball, photos and scorecards from the ’50s and ’60s.
“It brings back memories,” Sage said. “There were a lot of great memories there.”
And great players who were there with the Oilers, such as Baseball Hall-of-Famers Steve Carlton, Dizzy Dean, Warren Spahn, Satchel Paige, Frank Robinson, Willard Brown and other notables such as Roger Maris, Ken Boyer and Keith Hernandez. Many baseball legends appeared there as opponents or during exhibitions, including Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Hank Aaron, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Bob Feller, Lou Brock and Bob Gibson.
“The stadium was a launching point for dreams where hard work and dedication built future Major League Baseball players,” Tulsa County Commissioner Stan Sallee said.
“We’re proud to be a part in preserving this history.”
Besides Davis and Rick Wrona, other former pro and/or college players who attended the ceremony where they once played included Bob Blaylock, Steve Bowling, Larry Burchart, Mark Calvert, Tom Jenkins, Phil Klimas, Chuck Lamson, Kirk Shell, Jackson Todd, Tom Widmar, Bill Wrona and Ron Wrona.
“I’ve got great memories going back even as a real young boy,” said Calvert, who pitched there for the University of Tulsa and with the Shreveport Captains against the Drillers before reaching the majors with the San Francisco Giants. “Some of our pee-wee teams and our family occasionally would go to a ballgame.”
Calvert also worked there as a member of the ground crew. Another notable major leaguer, Washington Nationals broadcaster Bob Carpenter, also was at the ceremony. He was an Oilers announcer in 1976 and shared an off-the-field moment from Oiler Park.
“We got to the ballpark on a Sunday, and all the equipment in that rickety old press box was absolutely soaked,” Carpenter said. “So Terry Greene and I did an entire doubleheader handing a telephone back and forth between the two of us through 14 excruciating innings that night.”
McCombs first attended a game at Oiler Park in 1961.
“I couldn’t believe how pretty it was,” McCombs said. “It was a fan-friendly ballpark. The atmosphere was special. It’s my favorite ballpark of all time.”
“I just hope people enjoy the plaque and know this is where a great ballpark used to be.” | https://tulsaworld.com/news/local/watch-now-old-baseball-park-comes-back-to-life-for-an-afternoon-at-expo-square/article_4fb3565a-b13e-11ec-bb44-e78185dfeab8.html | 2022-04-01T01:10:30Z |

The worldwide seafood industry is steeling itself for price hikes, supply disruptions and potential job losses as new rounds of economic sanctions on Russia make key species such as cod and crab harder to come by.
The latest round of U.S. attempts to punish Russia for the invasion of Ukraine includes bans on imports of seafood, alcohol and diamonds. The U.S. is also stripping “most favored nation status” from Russia. Nations around the world are taking similar steps.
Russia is one of the largest producers of seafood in the world, and was the fifth-largest producer of wild-caught fish, according to a 2020 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Russia is not one of the biggest exporters of seafood to the U.S., but it’s a world leader in exports of cod (the preference for fish and chips in the U.S.). It’s also a major supplier of crabs and Alaska pollock, widely used in fast-food sandwiches and processed products like fish sticks.
The impact is likely to be felt globally, as well as in places with working waterfronts. One of those is Maine, where more than $50 million in seafood products from Russia passed through Portland in 2021, according to federal statistics.
“If you’re getting cod from Russia, it’s going to be a problem,” said Glen Libby, an owner of Port Clyde Fresh Catch, a seafood market in Tenants Harbor, Maine. “That’s quite a mess. We’ll see how it turns out.”
Russia exported more than 28 million pounds (12.7 million kilograms) of cod to the U.S. from Jan. 1, 2020, to Jan. 31, 2022, according to census data.
The European Union and United Kingdom are both deeply dependent on Russian seafood. And prices of seafood are already spiking in Japan, a major seafood consumer that is limiting its trade with Russia.
In the U.K., where fish and chips are a cultural marker, shop owners and consumers alike are bracing for price surges. British fish and chip shops were already facing a squeeze because of soaring energy costs and rising food prices.
Andrew Crook, head of the National Federation of Fish Friers, said earlier this month that — even before the war — he expected a third of Britain’s fish and chip shops to go out of business. If fish prices shoot up even higher, “we are in real dire straits,” he said.
In mid-March, the U.K. slapped a 35% tariff hike on Russian whitefish, including chip-shop staples cod and haddock.
“We’re a massive part of U.K. culture and it would be a shame to see that go,” he told broadcaster ITV.
U.S. consumers are most likely to notice the impact of sanctions via price and availability of fish, said Kanae Tokunaga, who runs the Coastal and Marine Economics Lab at Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland.
“Because seafood is a global commodity, even if they are not harvested in Russia, you will notice the price hike,” Tokunaga said.
In the U.S., the dependence on foreign cod stems to the loss of its own once-robust Atlantic cod fishery that cratered in the face of overfishing and environmental changes. U.S. fishermen, based mostly in New England, brought more than 100 million pounds (45.4 million kilograms) of cod to the docks per year in the early 1980s, but the 2020 catch was less than 2 million pounds (900,000 kilograms).
Regulators have tried to save the fishery with management measures such as very low fishing quotas, and many fishermen targeting other East Coast groundfish species such as haddock and flounder now avoid cod altogether.
Seafood processors in Massachusetts are concerned about job losses due to loss of Russian products, Democratic U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, who does support sanctions on Russia, said.
“I have heard from seafood processors in my home state with concerns about potential sudden effects of a new, immediate ban on imports on their workforce, including hundreds of union workers in the seafood processing industry,” he said on the Senate floor in February.
For U.S. producers of seafood staples such as fish and chips, the lack of Russian cod could mean pivoting to other foreign sources, said Walt Golet, a research assistant professor at the University of Maine’s School of Marine Sciences.
“We might be able to bring in more from Norway, a little more from Canadian fisheries,” Golet said. “It really is driven by the price of those imports.”
As an alternative, producers and consumers could try underutilized fish species caught domestically, such as Atlantic pollock and redfish, said Ben Martens, executive director of Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association.
“Maybe this is a time to use haddock or hake or maybe monkfish, something different,” Martens said. “If it’s going to disrupt supply chains it does present an opportunity for other species to fill that void.”

Ohio State is among 15 organizations NFL Charities has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants to support sports-related medical research. OSU's program for the study of protein therapeutics for the treatment of traumatic brain injury is part of more than $950,000 the charitable foundation of NFL owners has targeted for studying concussion prevention and treatment.
According to the NFL, this year's grants include studies on stem cells and nervous system injuries; MRI methods after concussions; the effect of temperature on the severity of potential brain injuries; the implications of helmet, facemask and shoulder pad designs on airway and cardiovascular care; and a sleep apnea program focused on NFL players.
"We are proud to support sports-related medical research through NFL Charities Medical Research Grants," commissioner Roger Goodell said in a news release. "These research projects have implications far beyond football, and we are committed to playing a role in helping make sports safer." | https://www.bengals.com/news/osu-gets-nfl-grant-8242100 | 2022-04-01T01:10:30Z |

Louisiana Department of Insurance issues cease-and-desist orders for two agents
The Louisiana Department of Insurance issued cease-and-desist orders and license suspensions against two insurance producers, including one in Ascension Parish, for violations of the Louisiana Insurance Code.
According to a news release, LDI issued an order and license suspension March 11 to Kim Marie Holmes for alleged insurance fraud.
Holmes was issued an arrest warrant in Ascension Parish on March 3 and charged with insurance fraud for reportedly attempting to defraud an insurance company for more than $15,900.
According to the release, an investigation by Louisiana State Police found Holmes made material misrepresentations on her renters insurance policy following Hurricane Ida by greatly inflating the price of items claimed as damaged or never purchasing items claimed as damaged from the places reported in the claim.
State Police also reportedly noted that Holmes’ apartment complex never received any reported damages to the building in which she lived.
“Providing fictitious information to an insurance company for personal gain is a clear indication that Ms. Holmes cannot be trusted to conduct insurance business,” stated Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon. “I took this action to protect consumers in our state from her participation in the industry.”
Also, on March 21, the LDI issued a cease-and-desist order and license suspension to Andrea R. Ceballos for alleged theft of property. Ceballos was arrested in Arkansas and charged with the theft of about $13,000 from the insurance agency where she worked as a producer. Although she is a resident and producer in Arkansas, Ceballos held a non-resident license in Louisiana.
The producers have 30 days from the time of service to request an administrative appeal or the actions will become final.
Donelon urged consumers who feel uneasy about any insurance-related transaction to call the LDI Insurance Fraud Division at 225-342-4956 or 1-800-259-5300. If callers do not want their names used, they can request that their involvement be kept confidential. | https://www.weeklycitizen.com/story/news/2022/03/31/louisiana-department-insurance-issues-cease-and-desist-orders-two-agents/7239550001/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:33Z |

The results are in! Comparing antibodies from natural immunity, vaccines
We've been submitting ourselves to monthly testing with a private firm to demonstrate the unscientific discrimination of the vaccine passport program and federal travel bans.
Today, I can report to you the results of my latest COVID-19 antibody tests.
My friend and I have been submitting ourselves to monthly testing with a private firm for two different reasons. The first reason was to demonstrate the unscientific discrimination of the vaccine passport program and federal travel bans for the unvaccinated or those who refuse to divulge their vaccination status when many of these people have resilient natural immunity comparable to or better than the sort achieved through vaccination.
The second reason is to find out who has longer-lasting immunity; the vaccinated or the naturally immune.
Between my long-suffering friend and I, one of us was double vaccinated last summer and well overdue for a booster, and one of us recovered from a COVID-19 infection last spring. I won't tell you who is who because one of the main casualties of the pandemic was medical privacy, and I won't be a part of it!
To get access to this immunity testing, we have to pay out of pocket $130.00 for each test, because it is official Alberta government policy to block testing for immunity levels from the general public even if doctors order it.
At the beginning of the process, we set the baseline immunity levels for both of us: in excess of 250 units of COVID-19 spike proteins per mL of our blood.
However, only one of us can travel by plane or train, and for much of our experiment, the restrictions exemptions program in Alberta — our vaccine passport program — prevented our unvaccinated test subject from enjoying fulsome participation in society despite their high levels of antibodies.
The latest results are in, and 5 months on, our immunity levels are holding strong. Neither one of us is experiencing a drop-off in antibodies. This result prompts further investigation. The resiliency of natural immunity does not come as a surprise, but what's going on with the vaccinated test subject? Are the vaccines better than the booster-pushers are telling us? Or are the COVID-19 tests less accurate than we think?
We took another, separate, newly-available test to solve this mystery. Those results will be in tomorrow, so stay tuned!

On The Money — Lawmakers rally against Russian oil imports
Happy Tuesday and welcome to On The Money, your nightly guide to everything affecting your bills, bank account and bottom line. Subscribe here: thehill.com/newsletter-signup.
Today’s Big Deal: Lawmakers in both parties are calling on the U.S. to spurn Russian energy imports despite the potential domestic cost. We’ll also look at more businesses leaving Russia and infighting among Republicans about a controversial tax plan.
But first, your guide to President Biden’s State of the Union address.

Let’s get to it.
Bipartisan push to end Russian oil imports
A bipartisan push for the U.S. to stop importing oil from Russia is gaining steam with the introduction of two bills amid Moscow’s bloody invasion of Ukraine.
- On Tuesday, a group of nine Republicans put forward legislation seeking to ban imports of Russian oil, as did Green New Deal champion Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.).
- While both were in agreement that the U.S. should stop bringing in Russian oil, Republicans are pushing for increased U.S. drilling while Markey is advocating a switch to clean energy.
- Both the Markey bill and the separate Republican version, led by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), would make it illegal to import oil from Russia.
The risks: The Biden administration may be hesitant to restrict oil imports since fuel prices — particularly at the gasoline pump — have been a politically sensitive issue.
It’s not clear whether the Biden administration will ultimately take action to cut off U.S. imports of oil, with the president saying last week that sanctions against Russia were “designed to allow energy payments to continue.”

Visa, Mastercard blocking Russian banks from networks
Multiple Russian financial institutions are being blocked from the networks of Mastercard and Visa after governments around the world announced sanctions following Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.
The sanctions have targeted Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s foreign minister, certain Russian banks from the SWIFT international banking system, Russian elites and their families, sovereign debt, and a host of financial institutions, among others.

McConnell takes aim at fellow GOP Sen. Scott’s plan
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) distanced himself Tuesday from an agenda released by Sen. Rick Scott (Fla.), who chairs the Senate GOP campaign arm.
McConnell, speaking at a weekly leadership press conference, was asked about Scott’s proposal. Scott was at the press conference but left after he spoke and as McConnell got the question about him.
The background: Scott released his 11-point plan last week, saying that it wasn’t meant to represent the NRSC or the Senate GOP conference more broadly.
- One of the proposals called for all Americans to pay taxes, even a small amount. Scott clarified that it wouldn’t apply to seniors or those who aren’t “able-bodied.”
- The plan has sparked pushback from Democrats and Republicans, dominating a closed-door GOP leadership meeting on Monday night, sources confirmed to The Hill.
“We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senate majority agenda,” McConnell said.
Here’s more from The Hill’s Jordain Carney.
AIMING HIGHER
U.S. retailer Target has announced it will adopt a minimum wage system that will pay company employees up to $24 an hour.
In a statement on Monday, the Minneapolis-based retailer said that the new minimum wage will range from $15 to $24, depending on the job and local market.
The system is also part of Target’s plan to spend an additional $300 million on its labor force, which includes expanded access to health care coverage and an enhanced benefits package for employees.
Some of Target’s rivals, including Walmart and Costco, have raised their hourly minimum wages for employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hill’s Olafimihan Oshin has it all here.

Along with updates to its mobile operating systems, Apple released a new build of macOS Monterey. Two weeks after the Mac operating system launched, bringing us Universal Control, the Cupertino-based company has released version 12.3.1 to fix a couple of pesky bugs.
Bluetooth and Display Bugs Plagued macOS Monterey 12.3
When Cupertino first rolled out macOS Monterey 12.3, it came with a few annoying bugs. Certain USB-C or Thunderbolt external displays were pretty much useless when connected to a 2018 Mac mini as a secondary display. In fact, I ran into just this issue with a USB-C display plugged in as my main display. I was able to work around it by disabling HDR10 on the display.
Another nuisance saw Bluetooth devices, such as some game controllers, disconnecting from the Mac after playing audio through some Beats headphones.
Apple says both of these bugs are fixed as of macOS Monterey 12.3.1. I can confirm the new version resolves the display problem, at least for me. Prior to publication, I updated my 2018 Mac mini, enabled HDR10 once again, and everything’s copasetic.
Of Course, the Security Updates in macOS Monterey 12.3.1
As with iOS 15.4.1 and iPadOS 15.4.1, the latest Monterey build includes a security update. In this case, Apple describes two security updates in macOS Monterey 12.3.1.
The first is identical to that fixed on the most recent mobile operating system builds. An AppleAVD issue could allow an application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The second issue was with an Intel Graphics Driver, and could allow a malicious application to read kernel memory.
Both security issues, according to Apple, may have been actively exploited. Therefore, updating macOS as soon as possible is something we highly recommend.
To make sure you get the latest version of macOS, go to System Preferences > Software Update. If the update doesn’t show immediately, try clicking Advanced, then OK to force your Mac to check again. If that fails, try again after an hour or so. | https://www.macobserver.com/news/bluetooth-and-display-fixes-highlight-macos-monterey-12-3-1-update/?utm_source=macobserver&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_everything | 2022-04-01T01:10:35Z |

Russian troops left the region of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant on Thursday (31). The Russians had occupied the area at the start of their invasion of Ukraine.
“There are no more people outside the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on this territory,” the Ukrainian state agency for the management of the plant’s area said.

- Share via Telegram
Shortly before, the agency had indicated that Russian troops had begun their departure from the plant, located about 100 kilometers from Kiev. As they left the plant, the Russians “looted the facilities, stole equipment and precious objects”, the agency accused.

- Russians Started Withdrawing From Chernobyl Area, Says Pentagon
- Russia says it will ‘radically reduce’ attacks on Kiev
Ukrainian experts will inspect the plant for potential “explosive objects”, according to the same source.
Withdrawal announced by the US
The US Armed Forces had already said on Wednesday (30) that the Russians had begun to withdraw from the area of the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
On Tuesday the Russians had said their troops would pull back and reduce ‘attacks on Kiev and Chernihiv in the north of the country. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is close to the two cities, and is on the way between Belarus, which serves as a base for Russian invaders, and the Ukrainian capital.
“Chernobyl is a zone where they are starting to redeploy some of their troops, going out, away from the Chernobyl facility, and into Belarus,” said a senior US Defense official. “We believe they are leaving, but I cannot tell them that they are all gone,” he added.
The UN nuclear agency said on Thursday it was preparing to send a mission to the radioactive waste facility at Chernobyl after Ukraine reported that Russian troops controlling the site had withdrawn.
“The IAEA is in close consultation with the Ukrainian authorities regarding the deployment of the agency’s first assistance and support mission to Chernobyl in the coming days,” the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/04/01/russian-troops-withdraw-from-the-chernobyl-power-plant-region-ukraine-and-russia-2/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:35Z |

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. airport security procedures will become more gender-neutral, with changes to scanners used for screening and the use of an “X” for travelers going through Precheck who do not identify as male or female, the Biden administration said Thursday.
Transportation Security Administration officers will also receive new instructions on screening intended to make procedures less invasive, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
They are among a series of travel-security measures announced by the department in conjunction with Transgender Day of Visibility. President Joe Biden is marking the day by advocating against what his administration terms “dangerous anti-transgender legislative attacks” that have passed in statehouses across the country.
“DHS is committed to protecting the traveling public while ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender identity, is treated with respect,” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in the statement.
The use of the “X” pronoun in the TSA Precheck advanced security program will begin April 11 and is intended to keep pace with identity documents that already include that option, DHS said. A new “X” gender marker on U.S. passport applications also begins April 11.
Later this year, TSA will begin using scanners with new technology that will replace gender-based systems and are intended to “advance civil rights and improve the customer experience.”
The TSA will work with airlines to promote the acceptance of the “X” gender marker and will also update the guidance for airport security screening officers to remove gender considerations when validating documents, DHS said. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/business/us-airport-security-screening-to-become-more-gender-neutral/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:34Z |
Why Sam Long is Skipping Kona This Year
It’s the biggest race of the year, but not everyone wants to be there. We look at why that might be the case…

He’s one of the most exciting talents on the long-course scene, so when Sam Long announced that he won’t be racing the Ironman World Championship in Kona this year—arguably the biggest race of the season—it understandably turned heads. The pursuit of the coveted title of Ironman world champion is one that has fueled countless dreams and broken many hearts (and bodies), but it’s rare (although not unheard of) for an athlete to purposely opt out. However, with this year featuring not one, but two, Ironman World Championship races (St. George in May and Kona in October), as well as 70.3 Worlds in St. George just three weeks after Kona (Oct. 28-29), it’s perhaps not surprising that Long has made the decision he has. For him, it comes down to an interesting blend of physiological, financial, and strategic reasons, which, he said, he hopes will deliver him to a Kona win by 2025.
“It’s a complicated decision,” Long said. “And of course, it’ll be hard to not be racing Kona when it comes to race day, but when my coach and I looked at my goals for this year and beyond, this really started to make sense. I’m young, and I see 10 Konas in front of me, so making this decision is about taking the longer-term view.”
Looking longer term
And it’s this longer-term view that Long’s coach, Ryan Bolton, who represented the USA in triathlon at the 2000 Olympic Games, is thinking about more so, perhaps, than his young charge. Bolton, an intelligent, masterful student of the sport, said he looked at the proposed race schedule and soon realized, “it would be very hard to do all of these races well.”
He said: “Sam is young—he wants it all and he wants it all right now, so giving him more of a singular focus is beneficial for him. Obviously, I would love for him to gain more experience in Kona [he has raced it before as an age grouper], but we agreed his priorities for the season are to win St. George and win 70.3 Worlds.”
Bolton believes that adding Kona to that line-up, especially when you look at the timing of all of those races, will make it extremely tough to race well at all of them. “A lot of people will want to do both—and a lot of people will do both—but it’s going to be very, very hard to do both well,” he said. “I took the philosophical view: The person who chases two birds usually ends up with none.”

And, aged 26, Long has youth on his side—and speed. “We realized that if I tried to race St. George in May and Kona in October, I’d end up in Ironman mode all year and that’s tough and tiring on the body,” he said. Long, popularly known as the Big Unit, said he isn’t quite ready to focus solely on longer-course racing, especially when he feels there’s still so much in the tank for him over the middle distance. After his dominant performance at 70.3 Worlds in St. George last year, where he finished second behind Gustav Iden, the Boulder-born athlete knows what it takes to excel on the challenging Utah course and is excited to put in the work needed to jump one step higher on the podium.
“There’s a special connection there for Sam and St. George,” Bolton said. “He obviously raced well there last year at 70.3 Worlds, the course suits him, he has some good friends there and a great homestay. It feels a little like racing in his own backyard. And the fact it’s the last year 70.3 Worlds will be there was another big reason why we chose to focus on this race too.”
Schedule wisely
Bolton said he partially blames Ironman for scheduling the races as they have, with 70.3 Worlds only three weeks after Kona. He said: “If it was the other way around it might work, but with Kona coming before 70.3 Worlds, that’s tough. The physical, mental, and emotional energy that goes into preparing for and racing Kona—that’s significant, and there’s always a hangover just recovering from the huge investment that goes into the build, the prep, the race, the intensity of it all.” He believes we’ll likely see more pros making similar decisions to Long, particularly the younger athletes who stand a good chance of doing well at both distances. He said: “Sam is young and no doubt has many more Konas in his future, both for him and his sponsors, so this isn’t a last ditch effort, quite the opposite.”
The fact that the 70.3 world championship is “getting to be as big of a big deal as Kona,” as Bolton put it, means that it’s more than worthwhile for athletes to focus on this distance and this race. For some time, sponsors have always placed a significant onus on success on the Big Island, but as the 70.3 world title becomes almost as prestigious, this is starting to be reflected in some racers’ contracts—and therefore their race selection and decision-making. “We are starting to see the 70.3 distance becoming as iconic a race (as Kona),” Bolton said.
Money talks
And there is, too, the significant consideration of making money and earning a living, which can be tough enough even for the most successful athletes. Both Bolton and Long agree that Ironman isn’t doing enough to incentivize pros to race in Kona and that, although the physiological/scheduling reasons were the main driver for Long’s decision not to race in Hawaii in October, the financial ones are important too.
By choosing to sit Kona out and race instead at Challenge Roth in July, the PTO US Open in Dallas in September, and then 70.3 Worlds in St. George, Long said he stands to make far more in prize money (and sponsor bonuses) than he would by racing Kona. He said: “I would need to win Kona to make as much money. There is no financial incentive to race Kona—and until such time that Ironman changes their approach to incentivize pros to go, well, I would rather take the view of ‘which organizations and races are showing they value me?’ Don’t get me wrong, even with this in mind, I still felt the pressure to race Kona, but the financial incentives of both the PTO and Challenge Family races allowed me to justify the decision and ultimately do what is right for me.”
Long has his sights set on winning the Challenge Family World Bonus, which stands at $125,000, and given that he’s already raced well at CLASH Miami and Challenge Puerto Varas, a strong performance at this summer’s Challenge Roth would certainly help this campaign. In addition, when you take into consideration that the prize purse for the PTO Open in Dallas is $1m—compared to $750,000 at Kona—and the race is less than half the distance (1.2-mile swim, 50-mile bike, 11-mile run), it all starts to make even more sense.
A decision for the future
While Long admits, even with the financial incentives not to race in Hawaii, it was still a tough choice, he acknowledges this is a smart, considered decision that will more than likely pay off for him in the longer term—and also pave the way for more pros to follow his lead. Both on the race course and off it, the Big Unit is proving to be a racer who isn’t afraid to take risks, upset the unwritten rules, and move away from the expected etiquette. With risks come rewards—and this one feels like a move that will yield fruit far into the future.

"Cheer Boxes," Now En Route to Poland, Meant to Bring Joy to the Youngest Who Have Been Displaced
LAS VEGAS, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Realty ONE Group, a modern, purpose-driven lifestyle brand and ONE of the fastest growing franchisors in the world, set off on a crusade only three short weeks ago to collect tens of thousands of shoe boxes of toys, "cheer boxes," for Ukrainian children who have been displaced by the war.
The idea came from the daughters of the company's CEO and founder, Kuba Jewgieniew, who wanted children to help children in need. Jewgieniew's parents and family are from Poland while his wife, Luba Jewgieniew, was born and raised in Ukraine. The family originally hoped to collect just 300 boxes, but the result was well beyond anything the girls or the company could have expected.
"People helping people is what our COOLTURE (cool + culture) is all about," said Kuba Jewgieniew, CEO and Founder of Realty ONE Group. "Our entire ONE family across 45 states shared their love along with local schools, hospitals, neighbors and other real estate companies and it was ONE of the most amazing things I've ever experienced.
In total, Realty ONE Group estimates it collected more than 30,000 cheer boxes stuffed with toys, some clothing and loving, hand-crafted notes to all ages of Ukrainian children. The boxes began to overflow at the company's several hub offices in Orange County, Phoenix and Las Vegas, and now have been crated and shipped to the east coast where they'll make the final trek overseas to the south of Poland where Jewgieniew's family will drive distribution efforts.
Realty ONE Group has a long legacy of giving back through its 501(c)3, ONE Cares, having impacted nearly 300,000 lives in 2021, giving back more than $200,000 to organizations everywhere while planting 139,000 trees through its ONE Tree, ONE World program to make the earth greener as we expand our footprint around the world.
The UNBrokerage, as it's known in the industry, now has more than 17,000 real estate professionals in more than 400 offices in 45 states, Washington D.C. and Canada and will be opening in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Italy, Singapore and Spain, in addition to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

BURR RIDGE, Ill., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tony Riley, president of The Mx Group, has been named its new CEO, effective March 1, as founding partner and CEO Andy Mahler steps into the executive chairman role. The Mx Group's other founding partner, Peter Wroblewski, will serve as vice chairman.
"We are beyond excited to see this leadership transition fully executed," said Mahler. "Over the last three and a half years we've added additional talent to an already seasoned senior leadership and director level team and worked closely with team members to ensure great work, high performance and continuity."
In addition to being one of the largest independent B2B agencies in the country, The Mx Group is also one of the fastest growing. The agency has been in business for over 30 years, has five Fortune 500 clients on their roster, and a team of over 150 people they affectionally call Mx'ers. If you haven't heard of them, it could be because they are one hundred percent focused on B2B, a discipline within the advertising industry that doesn't get the attention that B2C does.
"Tony, Nate Ulery as COO, and the senior leadership team have effectively been running the business for the last 18 months," said Wroblewski. "It has been exciting to see how they are iterating our vision and making it better, which is evidenced by our continued revenue growth, expanded service offering and thriving culture."
"Our vision is B2B at scale," said Riley. "We believe that the large holding companies and agencies don't understand the complexities of B2B buying groups, sales cycles and purchase decisions — and honestly don't care to understand it. While there are large pure-play B2B agencies, they tend to focus on one aspect of the customer experience, digital for example. Our opportunity is to bring strategy, creative, digital and technology together under one roof at a scale global B2B marketers can leverage for their brands."
Mahler and Wroblewski will continue to serve as active board members, focusing their energy on acquisitions, the expansion of global partnerships and the ongoing mentorship of the executives and directors that form the leadership at Mx.
About The Mx Group
The Mx Group is an independent, integrated B2B marketing agency with a mission to impact the marketplace for companies that impact the world. For over 30 years, we've created meaningful end-to-end buying experiences for B2B brands.

KEARNEY – The University of Nebraska at Kearney is recognizing eight high schoolers for their outstanding writing abilities.
Sponsored by the UNK Writing Center, American Democracy Project and Phi Eta Sigma and Sigma Tau Delta honor societies, the second annual Nebraska Emerging Writers Contest gave students from across the state an opportunity to showcase their talent while competing for cash prizes.
Participants submitted an essay, poem or short story about democracy and what it means today. The theme was based on “The Meaning of Democracy” essay written by American author E.B. White during World War II. Organizers aimed to promote literacy by encouraging young people to make sense of these transformative times through the act of writing.
Winners were selected through a blind review process by committees composed of UNK undergraduate students and led by juniors Marcela Sousek (poetry), Cassidy Johnson (short story) and Caroline Stanley (essay). The winning students are invited to read their submissions April 22 at the annual language and literature conference hosted by the UNK Department of English.

The state Senate agreed Thursday to accept the heavily amended version of a bill to sharply reduce Maryland’s carbon footprint passed earlier this week by the House of Delegates. But it was a grudging acceptance.
Sen. Steve Hershey, an Upper Eastern Shore Republican, complained about a section the House added that creates a pilot program to allow utilities to help county school systems buy electric or zero emission school buses, then use the electricity stored in their enormous batteries during times of peak demand when the buses are idle.
He said he worried about how utility companies would interpret that.
“So whatever equipment is needed to charge these buses and any type of facilities that are necessary, they could take all of that, build that into a rate case, go before the Public Service Commission; the Public Service Commission then could increase rates for everybody within that service territory,” he suggested.
Sen. Malcolm Augustine, a Prince George’s Democrat, worried that some counties might be ready for such a program, but those that aren’t might be forced to help pay for the buses for another county.
“The ratepayers, those who are trying to pay for their medicine, are going to be asked to pay for the school buses for another jurisdiction,” he asked.
The complaints brought a sharp rebuke from Sen. Ben Kramer, a Montgomery County Democrat.
“What you’re witnessing, colleagues, is parochialism rearing its very ugly head,” he intoned.
Montgomery County already has such a program, he said. And the original bill the Senate passed had much the same language, but not the specifics of how to do it that House amendments added.
“We are the state of Maryland,” Kramer argued. “Our decision process does not end at jurisdictional boundaries. If that were the attitude that we take on every bill, we vote out of here, nothing would ever get passed.”
But that amendment and others had gutted the bill, Hershey argued.
“But that's the question,” he said. “Are we going to, you know, sit back and just accept these House amendments, because we want to put through a bill that says Climate Solutions Act of 2022.”
Bryan Simonaire, the Senate Republican leader, said there are provisions he could vote for in a single bill, but not in such a far-reaching measure that he argued would cost too much and not solve the problem of global warming. Lawmakers should be putting their energy into steps at the national and global level, “so we can have a real impact, so we can really save the planet.”
That would be better than focusing on being “a role model that was brought up on this floor from your side of the aisle saying it's a good thing to be role models.”
Sen. Paul Pinsky, a Prince George’s Democrat and the bill’s sponsor said those arguments were giving him “an Alice in Wonderland” moment. Those who voted against the original bill and wouldn’t vote for the bill in any form are complaining about the House’s amendments.
And he responded to Simonaire’s complaints about being a role model.
“We can sit on the sidelines and watch history, or we can help shape history,” he said. “You know, we can tell our children and grandchildren, we took steps. We didn't stay silent. We didn't put our head in the sand.”
Pinksy has said previously he was disappointed by some of the House amendments, but that it remained a good bill.
He insisted the core of the bill, the goal for carbon neutrality by 2045, remains intact. It also contains a call for emission reductions in large buildings, a “green bank” to help pay for environmental projects, and provisions requiring the transition of state vehicles and school buses from internal combustion engines to electric or zero emission vehicles. It also creates a climate corps for young people to work on projects in communities disproportionately affected by climate change.
“This bill takes many, many steps,” he said. “So the question before us is, do we want to help shape our future history of our state and our planet? Or do you want to sit on the sidelines silent?”
The bill now heads to Gov. Larry Hogan’s desk. | https://www.wypr.org/wypr-news/2022-03-31/climate-bill-heads-for-governors-desk | 2022-04-01T01:10:36Z |

On Tuesday, the Golden Eagles travel to Norman for a 6:30 game against Oklahoma, followed by a week hiatus until the Golden Eagles play at Missouri State on Tuesday, April 12.
Looking back: After a mid-week loss to No. 9 Oklahoma State that gave ORU its fourth consecutive loss, the Golden Eagles rallied to capture three straight wins against South Dakota State and an 11-1 win in seven innings over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Notable: ORU will host themes on each of its games against Omaha. The series opener on Friday will include a postgame movie, Saturday's game will have $1 hot dogs and a hat giveaway, and Sunday's game will have an Easter egg hunt.

Lots of us cannot wait to get out on the roads walking, running and cycling, horseback riding and downhill mountain biking.
Inevitably this time of year my mind drifts to why as a society it is still acceptable to leave big piles of horse manure on the roads and trails we love to use. These are multi-use streets and trails there for everyone to enjoy.
Dog owners keep the parks and trails clean, for the most part, and many have bags available that greatly help with this. Bylaws dedicated to proper dog poo etiquette have certainly helped. It was once commonplace to dump bed pans and garbage in the streets, but as a society we moved on from that. Isn’t it time people start picking up the horse manure too?
People will argue that horse manure isn’t harmful to humans. But the health implications aren’t really the point. No one wants to step in the stuff with their boots or shoes, especially during the wet spring months. Downhill mountain bikers don’t want a spray of yellow-green poo up their backs, and personally I know I don’t like the underside and wheel wells of my car needing to be cleaned before I do an oil change or swap on the summer tires.
The solution is quite easy. It only takes a minute to dismount, kick the manure to the side of the trail where it will do the most good as fertilizer, and then remount and continue on. If, like most people, the thought of manure on your boots isn’t appealing, another simple solution is to carry a collapsible, or camping shovel as they’re labeled at most sporting goods stores. They come with a carrying case that can be attached to the back of any saddle. Once the shovel has been used, stab it into fresh soil to clean the surface, fold and store. Just like it is expected that a dog owner has a doggie bag, it should be a necessity for horse owners to have a small shovel (or another way of dealing with manure while in public). People spend many thousands of dollars on clothing, tack, and feed. What’s another $20?
My point is that everyone, no matter their activity of choice, gets to enjoy the same clean streets and trails as everyone else. And my hope is that this doesn’t come across as ‘finger pointing,’ but as a way to start a dialogue. Let’s leave public spaces as we would like to find them.

Imphal (Manipur) [India], April 1 (ANI): Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Thursday expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for "taking a bold step" of reducing the disturbed areas under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in the states of Nagaland, Assam and Manipur, and said that it was a long-due demand of the people of the Northeast.
Addressing the media at the Chief Minister's Secretariat, Singh said, "On behalf of the government of Manipur and the people of the state, I would like to appreciate and thank PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for taking such a bold step, seeing the long-due demands and desires of the people of North-East, particularly Manipur."

St. Amant’s Jackson breaks school record
St. Amant pitcher Addison Jackson has already had one of the most heralded careers the school’s softball program has ever seen, and she isn’t close to being finished.
Last weekend, Jackson reached two impressive milestones.
She hit her 18th home run of the season. That broke the single-season school record, which was previously held by former Lady Gator great and current LSU standout Taylor Tidwell.
The home run also gave Jackson 39 for her career. That tied the school record for most career homers.
What makes that achievement even more impressive is the fact that Jackson is only a junior. And her freshman year was cut short following the cancelation of the season due to COVID-19. She was off to a hot start prior to the cancelation.
Jackson was the Lady Gators’ starter at second base as a freshman, but with the graduation of All-State pitcher Alyssa Romano, she stepped in as the team’s ace in the circle as a sophomore.
She went on to be named the Ascension Parish Pitcher of the Year. She was also named the District 5-5A Co-MVP, along with teammate Julia Kramer. Jackson earned All-Metro and All-State honors as well.
Her stats certainly warranted those accolades. Jackson piled up 253 strikeouts from the circle. From the plate, she hit .476 with 15 home runs.
Over the summer, Jackson officially committed to Boston College.
But as great as Jackson was in 2021, she’s been even better this season.
In addition to the record-breaking 18 home runs, she has been absolutely dominant from the circle. Earlier this month, Jackson threw a no-hitter in the Lady Gators’ win over fourth-ranked Walker.
Last weekend, St. Amant played some of the best competition in the state. In that road tournament, the Lady Gators faced North DeSoto (top-ranked team in 4A), West Monroe (second-ranked team in 5A) and West Ouachita (11th-ranked team in 5A).
The Lady Gators beat all three. And over the course of those three victories, Jackson rung up 36 strikeouts from the circle, and she hit two home runs from the plate.
Jackson and St. Amant are having a tremendously successful season that they’re hoping will culminate in another state championship.
The Lady Gators are 23-2 overall and currently ranked third in the LHSAA’s unofficial power rankings.
The only teams ranking ahead of them are Pineville and Central. Pineville is the team that eliminated St. Amant in the state quarterfinals last year. Central is one of only two squads to beat the Lady Gators this season.
St. Amant has won an astounding 21 straight games. The Lady Gators have not tasted defeat since Feb. 26.
Besides Central, the Lady Gators’ only other loss came against Live Oak, a team that is currently ranked seventh in the power rankings.
St. Amant’s next game will be another must-see clash between the state’s softball powers. The Lady Gators will host John Curtis next Thursday. John Curtis also has a record of 23-2 and currently ranks first in the Division-I power rankings. | https://www.weeklycitizen.com/story/sports/2022/03/31/addison-jackson/7230282001/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:39Z |

Trump says Putin should release info on Hunter Biden's alleged deals with Russian billionaire
Trump referenced an alleged $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina to Hunter Biden’s investment firm, which was outlined in a report by Senate Republicans ahead of the 2020 election.
Former President Donald Trump says that Russian President Vladimir Putin should release information on the alleged business deals conducted by Hunter Biden with Russian billionaire Elena Baturina.
Details of the alleged business deal originally surfaced following the New York Post’s report on Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020. Trump referenced an alleged $3.5 million wire transfer from Baturina to Hunter Biden’s investment firm, which was outlined in a report by Senate Republicans ahead of the 2020 election.
Last Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that she was unfamiliar with the claim when asked by a reporter from the Post.
“I’m not familiar with that claim. It doesn’t sound like it’s backed up by a lot of evidence. If you have evidence or specifics, I’m happy to discuss it further,” Psaki said at the briefing. “I’m not familiar with the report at all.”
Speaking in an interview on Real America’s Voice, Trump expressed his desire to see Putin release the details on Hunter Biden’s dealings in the country.
“As long as Putin now is not exactly a fan of our country, let him explain … why did the mayor of Moscow's wife give the Bidens, both of them, $3.5 million? That's a lot of money. She gave them $3.5 million,” Trump said in the interview, which was conducted at his Florida home at Mar-a-Lago. “So, now I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it. I think we should know that answer.”
He added that the Russian president “now would be willing to probably give that answer.”
Trump’s remarks were criticized by Republican Senator Mitt Romney, who called Putin “one of the worst people on the planet.”
“I don't think Vladimir Putin ought to be one of the people we go to for favours right now,” he said to reporters in Washington D.C., adding that “America shouldn't be asking for favours.”

Recalled: The Great Equalizer
Triathlon great Barb Lindquist looks back at the inaugural—and iconic—battle-of-the-sexes race.
For access to all of our training, gear, and race coverage, plus exclusive training plans, FinisherPix photos, event discounts, and GPS apps, sign up for Outside+.
As we close out International’s Women’s Month, we’re shining a spotlight on one of the greatest females to don a triathlon kit: Barb Lindquist. Particularly, one of Lindquist’s finest moments in the sport: Her win at the first-ever Lifetime Fitness Equalizer in 2002, a veritable battle of the sexes in which pro women started ahead of the pro men by a predetermined amount of time (in this case, 9 minutes and 39 seconds). Lindquist won—in dramatic fashion and in a steady rain storm—pocketing $50,000 for the win. Here, she shares her memory of the Minneapolis race and the impact it made on her life and on the sport in her own words.
I was super excited to participate in the first equalizer in the sport. I went in confident: I was racing well, and I figured I had a good shot at winning. But still, there were some unknowns. To start, we weren’t quite sure how long the women’s head start would be until the race meeting. They announced at the pre-race meeting, by starting a digital track clock at 15 minutes and letting it run backwards until it hit 9 minutes, 30 seconds. I guess that was their way of building some excitement.
Then there was the distance: It was like three-quarters the length of the Olympic distance—kind of odd. So it was all just a new experience, but one I hoped to make the best of. And, of course, win.
My plan was just to attack it from the start and take the lead. I got cues and splits during the race, so I had a sense of who was behind me, and by how much. So I was well aware that Becky Gibbs was behind me, as well [2000 Olympian] Craig Walton. I was running scared…mostly about Craig. With about a half-mile to go, I just launched into a full-on sprint. There was just enough room for Craig to catch me, and I couldn’t let that happen.
And here’s when it could have all gone really bad. At the pre-race meeting, there was a directive that the timing mat—and the finish line—would be just beyond a balloon arch. So, once I passed that balloon arch, I stopped. From a sprint to a dead stop, just like that. And I hear everyone yelling, ‘go, go,go!’ Turns out, the finish line was not just beyond the balloons. I had about 20 yards until the finish line. I had to will my legs to move. My muscles were seizing and I just dragged myself to that banner. That’s why I look so scared and spent in those photos. I had absolutely nothing left to give.
It turns out that I beat Becky by 10 seconds, but most importantly, I got Craig by 15. Winning $50,000 was amazing—embarrassing, even because it seemed like so much. Our sport is tough to make a living at; it’s tough now, and it was tough back then. So this was a big deal (and an even bigger deal when I won the next year and earned $250,000!). I didn’t realize it at the time, but the money I earned in those equalizer races made life a lot easier for me for years to come. I am incredibly grateful to Lifetime Fitness…they provided me with that.
Did the equalizer race change the scope of women’s triathlon? I believe it did. The amazing thing about our sport is that prize money between men and women has been equal from the start. So money wasn’t the issue—although the bigger prize purse certainly drew excitement and a great field. Most of all, it was the influence of having so many eyes on the race through the television coverage and the media attention that followed. Having a woman win it three years in a row definitely inspired the next generation of great triathletes. Those races showed that women can go out and kick butt, race tough and with integrity—and keep a smile on our face while at it.
After back-to-back wins at the Lifetime Equalizer Race, Lindquist finished third in 2004, the same year she placed ninth at the Olympic games. She retired from racing in 2005, going on to welcome twin sons in 2006 and later becoming the USAT Collegiate Recruitment Program Coordinator. Lindquist was inducted into the International Triathlon Union Hall of Fame in 2017. | https://www.triathlete.com/culture/people/recalled-the-great-equalizer/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:40Z |

The conservative media organization The Daily Wire announced plans to invest $100 million to create programming for children to counter "woke media companies."
The move follows Disney's opposition to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education act — which critics have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — which was signed into Florida law this week. The law restricts discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in classrooms. A group of over a dozen students, parents, educators and advocates filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state’s Board of Education.
The Daily Wire said Wednesday it plans to roll out live-action and animated children's entertainment. It also will spend another $100 million on similar content for adults. The programming is scheduled to launch on The Daily Wire's subscription streaming service in spring 2023.
"Americans are tired of giving their money to woke media companies who hate them," Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing said in a statement. "They're tired of giving their money to woke media companies who want to indoctrinate their children with radical race and gender theory. They want to do more than just cancel them. They want alternatives."

5 Top Pros Share Their Go-To Race Day Warm-Up Routines
A good warm-up on race day can really set you up for success. How do you do it?
For access to all of our training, gear, and race coverage, plus exclusive training plans, FinisherPix photos, event discounts, and GPS apps, sign up for Outside+.
Failing to warm up well on race day is probably one of the most common mistakes triathletes make. You’ve done weeks and weeks of training, you’ve tapered well, your gear is in great condition and awaits you in transition, and yet, when the guns goes off, your body (and mind) stutter off the start line and you wonder what’s going on. The answer? You’ve not warmed up. Many top pros will practice their warm-up routines ahead of key workouts in training so that they become well-learned and familiar. We asked five pro athletes to share their go-to warm-up sets with us…
RELATED: Dear Coach: What’s the Importance of Warming Up and Cooling Down?
Haley Chura: “The shorter the race, the longer the warm-up”
3 hours pre-race: Wake up and take a warm shower. I then make coffee and oatmeal and have a leisurely breakfast. If I’m alone I might text some of my friends who are very early risers.
90 minutes pre-race: I like to arrive at the race venue fairly early, especially if I have to find a parking space or have a longer walk to transition.
60 minutes pre-race: Do a 15-30 minute very easy jog, finishing with a few strides. The shorter the race, the longer the warm-up. For an Ironman I might only walk a bit. If I’m alone, I’ll listen to some upbeat music, sometimes a single song on repeat.
30 minutes pre-race: Put on my wetsuit or swimskin and start heading toward the water.
15 minutes pre-race: Take a gel and my last sips of hydration. If swim warm-ups are allowed, I’ll get in the water and swim easy for around five minutes to shake out and adjust my wetsuit.
5 minutes pre-race: Take a deep breath and look around and think about how lucky I am to be fit and healthy enough to be in this gorgeous location surrounded by so many other competitors and spectators ready to tackle the challenges of the day!
Tim Reed: “Deep breaths before the gun goes off”
“Once I’m up and awake, I’ll do some gentle neural flossing and Graston my legs,” Reed said. (The Graston Technique refers to the practice of using a stainless steel instrument to break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, and help mobilize muscles). Once at the race venue and all set up in transition, his routine looks like this:
- 30 minutes pre-race: Easy 10-minute jog slowly building to a moderate effort with 6-8 x 30 seconds @ race pace.
- 15 minutes pre-race: Easy swimming, building to moderate with 6-8 x 30-40-second bursts @ race pace.
- Deep breaths before the gun goes off!
Sam Long: “Get your heart rate up, settle into your breathing”
Like Reed, Long will do some form of mobility or activation work before leaving his hotel on race morning: “It’s usually the foam roller, activation exercises, and some core work,” he said. Once set up in T1, he’ll then do:
- 5-10-minute light jog: “I make sure to stay really warm here; I want to get a light sweat going during this jog.”
- In-water pre-swim start: “I like to get into the water as early as possible to find my stroke, find my feel for the water. I’ll do a few race-pace efforts, just short and sharp, to get used to that takeout speed. I’m looking to get my heart rate up and also settle into my breathing.
Lauren Brandon: “If you’re not allowed in the water, be sure to do plenty of arm swings”
For Brandon, her race-day warm-up routine can vary depending on weather and the race, but her ideal scenario looks like this:
- A 5-minute jog to warm up the body after setting up in transition
- “If we can get in the water—which isn’t always possible—then I’ll do a short swim close, but if that’s not allowed, then I make sure to do plenty of arm swings and jumps, really trying to get my heart rate up and get my body warmed up and ready to go!”
RELATED: The Right Warm-Up Can Make You Faster
Angela Naeth: “Always keep it simple”
Naeth said her go-to warm-up is a simple one, “I always like to keep it simple.”
- Easy jog for 5-10 minutes
- Once in the water, she’ll swim easy for 5-10 minutes and then add a few fast strokes as: 20 fast strokes, 20 easy strokes. She’ll follow that up with some kick and backstroke, and then swim easy right up until the gun goes.
- “My main goal is to stay warm” | https://www.triathlete.com/training/race-tips/5-top-pros-share-their-go-to-race-day-warm-up-routines/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:41Z |
Ex-assemblyman indicted on charges of theft, lying about residency
A former state lawmaker was indicted Thursday after authorities accused him of misusing campaign funds and lying about his residency.
Former Assemblyman Alexander Assefa, D-Las Vegas, was indicted on five felony counts of offering false information for a filing or record, three felony counts of making false statements under perjury, four felony theft counts and two gross misdemeanor counts of submitting false residency statements on a filing for public office.
“Mr. Assefa’s actions ran directly against the conduct that we both expect and demand of those in public office,” Attorney General Aaron Ford said Thursday in an emailed statement. “Nobody is above the law, and my office will prosecute this case fairly and hold Mr. Assefa accountable.”
Assefa was first elected in 2018 to Assembly District 42 in the Spring Valley area and was re-elected in 2020. He resigned from the Legislature in January 2021 amid an investigation that led to the charges.
He first faced the same charges in March 2021, but the case was dismissed without prejudice in February, meaning officials were able to file the charges again, court records show.
Assefa’s defense attorney, Damian Sheets, did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Thursday.
According to the indictment, Assefa lied about his residency in declaration of candidacy forms filed in March 2018 and March 2020, in a voter registration application filed in September 2017, and in a voter registration change of address form filed in March 2020. He also is accused of falsely reporting the amount of campaign contributions he received from January 2018 to May 2018, throughout 2019, and from January 2020 to March 2020.
The theft charges stem from allegations that Assefa converted “election campaign contributions for his personal use” from April 2018 through February 2020, according to the indictment. Three of the counts are for theft of $3,500 or more, while one is for theft of $650 to $3,500.
In October 2020, the Review-Journal reported that police were looking into Assefa and transactions made between his campaign account and his personal bank account as well as accounts used by KIB Transport LLC, a company for which he and his mother are listed as managing members. Police also investigated whether Assefa actually lived in the district, as was required by law.

Apple TV+ announced that it will be releasing a five-part documentary series titled The Long Game: Bigger Than Basketball. This series will chronicle the awe-inspiring story of soon to be legend Makur Maker.
The series is set to make its global debut April 22 on Apple TV+.
Maker: Larger Than a Documentary
Directed and executive produced by Seth Gordon (Undefeated, The King of Kong), The Long Game: Bigger Than Basketball is a documentary that follows the story of Makur Maker. What makes Maker famous is his groundbreaking decision to forgo playing in the NBA to instead play for Howard University. This decision places Maker as the highest ranked high school player in the modern recruiting era to commit to a historically Black university.
The five part series takes an intimate look at the life of the basketball player. The series covers aspects from life as a student-athlete, to COVID-19 threatening his college career. The series also takes a look at Maker’s life off of the courts. In The Long Game: Bigger Than Basketball, a variety of topics are explored. These range from Maker fleeing a war-torn South Sudan in his childhood, to exploring his tight knit support system that led him to a historically Black academic institution. The series also takes a critical look at how Maker’s decision allowed him to make a powerful statement during America’s cultural response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Coming Soon to Apple TV+
In addition to Gordon, Nikki Calabrese, Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Sarina Roma, Jordan Wynn, Luis Lopez, Julia Gunn and Sony Pictures Television are all signed on to executive produce. The new documentary series on Makur Maker is being produce for Apple by Exhibit A and Boardwalk Pictures.
As Apple TV+ continues to deliver a variety of new content, the company continues to explore inclusive topics. On Sunday, Apple became the first streaming service to win an Oscar for best picture in thanks to the critical acclaimed CODA.
The Long Game: Bigger Than Basketball premieres on Apple TV+ April 22nd. This day also marks the release of Apple’s documentary series on legendary basketball star Magic Johnson. | https://www.macobserver.com/news/documentary-exploring-legend-making-basketball-star-makur-maker-debuts-april-22-on-apple-tv/?utm_source=macobserver&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_everything | 2022-04-01T01:10:41Z |

Russian troops left the region of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant on Thursday (31). The Russians had occupied the area at the start of their invasion of Ukraine.
“There are no more people outside the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on this territory,” the Ukrainian state agency for the management of the plant’s area said.

Shortly before, the agency had indicated that Russian troops had begun their departure from the plant, located about 100 kilometers from Kiev. As they left the plant, the Russians “looted the facilities, stole equipment and precious objects”, the agency accused.

- Russians Started Withdrawing From Chernobyl Area, Says Pentagon
- Russia says it will ‘radically reduce’ attacks on Kiev
Ukrainian experts will inspect the plant for potential “explosive objects”, according to the same source.
Withdrawal announced by the US
The US Armed Forces had already said on Wednesday (30) that the Russians had begun to withdraw from the area of the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
On Tuesday the Russians had said their troops would pull back and reduce ‘attacks on Kiev and Chernihiv in the north of the country. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is close to the two cities, and is on the way between Belarus, which serves as a base for Russian invaders, and the Ukrainian capital.
“Chernobyl is a zone where they are starting to redeploy some of their troops, going out, away from the Chernobyl facility, and into Belarus,” said a senior US Defense official. “We believe they are leaving, but I cannot tell them that they are all gone,” he added.
The UN nuclear agency said on Thursday it was preparing to send a mission to the radioactive waste facility at Chernobyl after Ukraine reported that Russian troops controlling the site had withdrawn.
“The IAEA is in close consultation with the Ukrainian authorities regarding the deployment of the agency’s first assistance and support mission to Chernobyl in the coming days,” the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/04/01/russian-troops-withdraw-from-the-chernobyl-power-plant-region-ukraine-and-russia/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:42Z |

Let’s get started.
Pandemic likely related to birth rate decline
The COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to a drop in birth rates at the beginning of 2021, according to a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday.
Compared to the same time period in 2020, the first six months of 2021 saw births decline by 2 percent overall, largely due to a 9 percent drop observed in January. In this period, the number of births declined in 19 states and Washington, D.C., while increasing in four states.
The birth rates last year: From January to June 2021, the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) recorded 1.75 million births, compared to 1.78 million births in the same period of 2020.
The NCHS noted that while birth rates also declined about 2 percent in both the first and last six months of the calendar year from 2015 to 2019, the sharp drop observed in January 2021 followed by a moderate drop in February was unusual compared with recent trends.
“This difference between patterns seen for the first 6 months of 2021 and earlier years suggests that the magnitude of the downward trend seen in the second half of 2020 and January of 2021 may have begun to wane and declines in the number of births may be returning to prepandemic levels,” said the agency.

What innovations show the most promise for early detection and treatment for this disease that takes a crushing toll on patients, their loved ones and caregivers? Former NIH director Elias Zerhouni, Alzheimer’s Association’s Maria Carrillo and more join The Hill’s Steve Clemons. RSVP today.
140M Americans have had coronavirus: CDC
About 140 million Americans have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus through the end of January, according to an estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The percentage of individuals who have antibodies to COVID-19, known as seroprevalence, is 43.3 percent for the total U.S. population, the CDC study found, much higher than regularly cited infection rates.
The data for the study was collected from late December to late January and relied on tests of nearly 72,000 samples.
Prevalence across age groups: The percentage of those with antibodies to the virus was lower in older age groups, with children having a seroprevalence of about 58 percent compared to 23 percent for those over the age of 65, the study found.
The CDC estimated the seroprevalence by collecting about 1,750 blood tests at 52 sites roughly every four weeks. Specimens for the study were collected from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
A MESSAGE FROM ALEXION
PELOSI SAYS SHE WON’T WEAR MASK TO STATE OF THE UNION
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she won’t wear a mask during President Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday night following a rule change that relaxed mask mandates in the House chamber.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Pelosi told host Andrea Mitchell that she won’t be wearing a mask and will “use my own judgment” when it comes to wearing a mask going forward.
“I’m not going to be wearing a mask tonight. If I had little children or if I were around little grandchildren, I would because some of them would not be vaccinated,” Pelosi told Mitchell.
Many lawmakers may not be wearing masks given the new guidance from officials on Capitol Hill and the falling number of cases nationwide.
In a letter on Sunday, Capitol physician Brian Monahan told lawmakers that the House will lift its mask mandate ahead of Biden’s address, making mask wearing optional throughout the Capitol complex.
“Individuals may choose to mask at any time, but it is no longer a requirement,” Monahan wrote in a letter.
BABY FORMULA RECALL EXPANDS
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded its food recall for Abbott Nutrition’s baby food products on Monday after one child died following an infection caught after consuming one of the company’s products.
The FDA said that a bacterial infection that developed after one patient consumed an Abbott Nutrition product may have contributed to their death.
“As of February 28, CDC has announced one additional illness of Cronobacter sakazakii with exposure to powdered infant formula produced at Abbott Nutrition’s Sturgis, MI facility. Cronobacter infection may have been a contributing cause of death for this patient,” said the agency.
“The most recent patient was reported to have consumed Abbott Nutrition’s Similac PM 60/40 product with the lot code 27032K800 prior to Cronobacter sakazakii infection.”
Abbott Nutrition has issued a voluntary recall of its Similac PM 60/40 powdered infant formula with the lot code 27032K800. Products from this lot code were distributed to the U.S. and Israel.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced he has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Tonight I tested positive to COVID-19,” Morrison wrote in a Twitter thread Tuesday. “I am experiencing flu-like symptoms and will be recovering over the next week.”
“I had tested myself daily since Sunday, including this morning, with all tests returning a negative result.”
Morrison shared that his wife and children have tested negative for the virus but will have to quarantine for a week due to them being close contacts.
Morrison also said he plans to continue his work on his prime minister duties in quarantine, focusing on his government’s response to Russia’s Ukraine invasion and devastating floods on Australia’s east coast.

ABERDEEN, N.C., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The fast growth of Moore County, including Aberdeen, Pinehurst, and Southern Pines, caused a few growing pains for General Manager Scott Weaver and his team at Leith Honda Aberdeen, "The growth in Aberdeen is so great that we just outgrew our building. It was time." Last weekend, his team cut the ribbon and drove vehicles to their new, expanded facility adjacent to the original Leith Honda Aberdeen location on US 15-501.
The new building includes an expanded showroom giving customers a more relaxed environment to shop and explore the showcased inventory. Also, their waiting area has expanded for customers' comfort and includes business workstations for those who need to work while they wait.
Weaver and Service Manager Mark Posey are most excited about their new state-of-the-art service department. The new facility holds twice as many service bays as the former building, complete with new tire balancers, express bay lifts, and individual fluid and air filling stations.
"When we have to walk to the parts counter to get oil and washer fluid for our vehicles, it adds to the customer's wait time," said Posey. "Now we will have oil and washer fluid, water, light, and electrical reels right at our fingertips."
Even with a new building, the one thing that won't change is Leith's tradition to take the best care of their customers. Posey says that commitment is what has kept customers coming back for generations. "We've got people that we have retained since I've been here. I have worked on their mother's and grandmother's cars."

Record: 18-7
Looking ahead: The Cowboys travel to Kansas State for a three-game set at Tointon Family Stadium. First pitch of Friday’s series opener is scheduled for 6 p.m. followed by a 4 p.m. start Saturday. Sunday’s finale is set for 1 p.m. All three games will be streamed on ESPN+.
OSU has claimed wins over the Wildcats in 17 of the past 18 meetings between the programs, including 11 victories in a row. The Cowboys lead the all-time series 27-9.
Looking back: Oklahoma came from behind and swiped a 7-6 Bedlam victory from the Cowboys in walk-off fashion Tuesday night at Tulsa’s ONEOK Field. The defeat snapped an 11-game OSU win streak, the program’s longest since 2014. The Cowboys opened Big 12 Conference play last weekend with a three-game sweep of Kansas at O’Brate Stadium.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has declared an outbreak of norovirus linked to the consumption of raw B.C. oysters.
The outbreak has impacted people in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario — though as of March 30, 262 of the 279 reported cases are in B.C. There have been no deaths associated with the outbreak.
Individuals became sick with norovirus after ingesting raw oysters farmed on B.C.’s west coast. Health Canada recalled certain brands of oysters that were believed to be related to the norovirus outbreak on Feb. 18, March 20, March 23, and March 27, 2022.
READ MORE: Health Canada recalls certain B.C. oysters due to norovirus contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is continuing an investigation into the outbreak which could lead to further recalls. Any recall notices will be shared publicly.
To avoid norovirus infection from oysters, make sure they are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 90 degrees celsius for 90 seconds before eating. Public health agencies do not recommend consuming raw oysters.
If you believe you became sick from consuming the recalled oysters, Health Canada recommends contacting a doctor. Anyone who believes they purchased the product should check to see if they have it in their home or business. Do not consume the recalled oysters — either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
When people become sick with norovirus they typically develop symptoms of gastroenteritis within 24 to 48 hours, but symptoms can start within 12 hours after exposure. Even after becoming infected with norovirus, you can become re-infected. The main symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Other symptoms may include a low-grade fever, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.
Most people start to feel better after a day or two, however in severe cases, some patients require hospitalization. Those most at risk of severe outcomes from norovirus infection include pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, young children and seniors.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials on Thursday adopted a rule aimed at reducing deaths and environmental damage from oil and gas pipeline ruptures — a long-delayed response to fatal explosionsand massive spillsthat have occurred over decades in California, Michigan, New Jersey and other states.
But safety advocates said the move by the U.S. Transportation Department would not have averted the accidents that prompted the new rule. That’s because it applies only to newly constructed or replaced pipelines — and not to hundreds of thousands of miles of lines that already crisscross the country, many of them decades old and corroding.
The rule requires companies to install emergency valves that can quickly shut off the flow of oil, natural gas or other hazardous fuels when pipelines rupture. It came in response to a massive gas explosion in San Bruno, California, that killed eight people in 2010, and to large oil spills into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River and Montana’s Yellowstone River and other spills.
The National Transportation Safety Board since the 1990s has recommended the use of automatic or remote controlled valves on large pipelines — whether they are existing or new — to reduce the severity of accidents. Following a 1994 gas pipeline explosion and fire that destroyed eight buildings in Edison, Jersey, the safety board urged the Transportation Department to expedite requirements for shut-off valves in cities and natural areas.
But pipeline companies for years resisted new valve requirements because of the expense of installing them and concerns they could close accidentally and shut off fuel supplies.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the more stringent regulations for the industry were needed because too many people have been harmed by pipeline failures.
He said installation of the valves would also protect against large releases of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas blamed for helping drive climate change.
“Today we are taking an important step to protect communities against hazardous pipeline leaks — helping to save the lives, property, and jobs of people in every part of the country while preventing super-polluting methane leaks.” Buttigieg said.
The Pipeline Safety Trust, a Bellingham, Washington-based advocacy group, said the rule marked progress since Congress mandated more stringent pipeline regulations over a decade ago.
But the group said exempting pipelines that are already in the ground means it would not prevent a repeat of the accident at San Bruno, which involved a pipeline that was more than 50 years old.
“This rule falls far short of the NTSB recommendation and will offer no additional safety to communities living near existing pipelines,” said Bill Caram, executive director of the safety trust.
The government estimated it would cost a combined $5.9 million annually for companies to comply with Thursday’s rule. By comparison, industry representatives said a single valve on an existing line could cost up to $1.5 million and it would take billions of dollars to retrofit lines nationwide.
Industry representatives were closely involved in crafting the rule. Their request to allow valves to be more widely spaced along pipelines and remove the requirement for some low-risk pipes was rejected. However, transportation officials adopted some of industry recommendations that will give operators latitude to make adjustments to where valves are placed.
Association of Oil Pipe Lines Vice President John Stoody said the final rule still contains “arbitrary requirements” for pipeline operators that don’t reflect real-world operating conditions or the low risk of spills in some scenarios.
Amy Andryszak, president of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, said her organization and companies it represents were still reviewing the rule but were “generally supportive” of rules that encourage safety.
Experts say automatic valves can help eliminate some human-caused errors that contribute to accidents, such as a delay of more than 17 hours to confirm the 2010 Kalamazoo, Michigan, pipeline rupture because workers ignored alarms indicating a possible spill. The break released more than 800,000 gallons (3,600,000 liters) of crude oil and caused roughly $1 billion in property and environmental damage.
In San Bruno, a 30-inch (76-centimeter) gas pipeline exploded and burned like a massive blowtorch in a suburban California neighborhood for 89 minutes before a manual valve was used to shut it down. An AP investigation found that pipeline operator Pacific Gas & Electric Co. agreed as far back as 1997 that remotely operated valves did a better job of protecting public safety, but opted against using them widely because they weren’t necessary or required.
Officials with the Transportation Department’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration did not immediately respond to questions about the new rule.
Also missing from the new rule are standards for equipment that can detect when and where leaks hit, a recurring problem in pipeline accidents, Caram said.
Instead, the rule says pipeline companies must quickly take steps to confirm a spill if they get an alarm or other notification, but the confirmation process itself remains up to the company.
Faulty leak detection systems played a role in recent accidents including a 350,000 gallon diesel oil spill in December into a wetlandsoutside New Orleans and an underwater rupture off California’s coastlast October that fouled the ocean with tens of thousands of gallons crude oil.

UK Opposing Immediate Ukrainian-Russian Ceasefire - The Times
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published April 01, 2022 | 05:50 AM
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 01st April, 2022) The United Kingdom wants Ukraine not to sign a ceasefire agreement with Russia too soon to deteriorate the latter's military position and thus weaken its negotiating stance, media reported.
According to The Times newspaper, the United Kingdom is concerned that the United States, Germany and France are "over-eager" to secure a peace deal as soon as possible. London believes that the deal should be reached when Kiev will have a stronger position.
"We think Ukraine needs to be in the strongest possible position militarily before those talks can take place," a government source told The Times, adding that such a scenario could result in more Russian concessions on territory, sanctions and even the legal persecution of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine on February 24 to support the people's republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. The Western countries have strongly condemned the operation calling it an invasion and imposed harsh sanctions on Russia.

Was Will Smith's Chris Rock slap at the Oscars staged?
It isn’t difficult to speculate that major corporations who work closely with — and in fact, fund large parts of — our government regulatory agencies might have more involvement 'behind the scenes' than they do 'on stage.'
I don’t need to give you a history lesson about Hollywood’s relationship to the government, although I will say that at one time, American Motion Picture Industry spokesmen regularly claimed they acted as a “little state department.”
At this point, we’re all well aware how Hollywood is used to shape the political, social and cultural values of this country and ultimately, the world, as it dominates the global cinema market — which is by design.
So, it isn’t difficult to speculate that major corporations who work closely with — and in fact, fund large parts of — our government regulatory agencies, might have more involvement “behind the scenes” than they do “on stage.”
Isn’t it interesting that the Oscars saw a ratings boost after Will smith slapped Chris Rock after suffering two years of historically low ratings?
It seems to me that working class people are no longer interested in the partaking and the idolization of ruling class events, especially after the suffering we’ve seen these past few years. The illusion of grandeur is collapsing as a mechanism of control. What if this altercation was a planned publicity stunt to bring the public back into the celebrity class’ grip? To maintain public disillusionment at a time when the ruling class are instigating global collapse?
Who would benefit?
Well, obviously the Oscars. And Chris Rock. And Will Smith won an Oscar, even though he assaulted someone on TV, no charges were pressed.
We can’t forget how the incident was triggered: A comedian made an alopecia joke.
Isn’t it interesting to know who sponsored the Oscars?
Oh. Pfizer and BioNtech sponsored the Oscars. pic.twitter.com/EYFE0BWlMX

New Delhi [India], April 1 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the students and their parents on Friday in the fifth edition of the 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' event.
In the annual event, PM Modi will interact with the students, parents and teachers across the nation and overseas. In the event, the Prime Minister talks about examination stress and related questions.

Amid the anticipation ahead of the event, Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday said that he is "looking forward to the programme".
"The enthusiasm towards this year's Pariksha Pe Charcha has been phenomenal. Lakhs of people have shared their valuable insights and experiences. I thank all those students, parents and teachers who have contributed. Looking forward to the programme on 1st April," tweeted PM Modi.

PM Modi also shared snippets of a series of videos on his YouTube channel from his previous interaction during Pariksha Pe Charcha. These videos cover a wide gamut of issues pertaining to student life especially related to exams.
The fifth edition of the annual event will be held in New Delhi in a town-hall interactive format from Talkatora Stadium at 11 am. Crores of students, teachers and parents from India and abroad will be participating, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had said earlier.
"Pariksha Pe Charcha is a much-awaited annual event in which the Prime Minister responds to questions related to examination stress and related areas posed by students in his uniquely engaging style in a live programme," Dharmendra Pradhan had said.
Terming Pariksha pe Charcha, a public movement, the Minister outlined the importance of this year's Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) in wake of the country coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and exams shifting back to offline mode. Underlining the importance of initiatives like PPC in building the knowledge-based economy of the 21st century, he said that PPC is becoming a formal institution through which Prime Minister interacts directly with the students.
He informed that select students across the country will also visit Raj Bhawans to watch the event in the presence of the state Governors.
He also expressed confidence that state governments across the country will also encourage the participation of students, teachers and parents.
The Minister mentioned that PPC will be streamed, not only across India but also in other countries reaching out to the Indian diaspora. He also called for support from the media in making this program a mass movement and ensuring stress-free exams for the students. (ANI)

Apple’s main chip supplier says the demand for smartphones and other consumer electronics such as laptops is starting to slow. TSMC Chairman Mark Liu says that this is due to geopolitical uncertainties and COVID-19 lockdowns in China. Meanwhile, analysts say iPhone demand remains healthy.
Declining Customer Interest in Smartphones
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) supplies Apple with A-series and M-series chips. These are important components of Apple’s flagship products. Nikkei Asia reported that Liu shared his comment about the declining demand for smartphones with the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association.
According to Liu, Chinese customer interest in smartphones is waning. He also warned about the rising cost of components and materials needed to produce these smartphones. Liu believes the situation will trickle down to consumers, which will eventually affect demand and the supply chain.
Everyone in the industry is worried about rising costs across the overall supply chain … The semiconductor industry already and directly experienced that cost increase.
Despite the slowing demand for smartphones and other consumer electronics, Liu remained positive and in fact noted that his company is maintaining its production targets this year. In fact, TSMC customers demand is still over the company’s supply capacity. Nonetheless, TSMC will reorganize and set its goals to fulfill priority target areas.
This May or May Not Prove Earlier Rumors About iPhone SE Demand
Earlier this week, there were rumors that Apple had contacted its suppliers to inform them of a cut on iPhone SE orders. Rumors said demand for the budget-friendly iPhone SE did not meet Apple’s expectations. So, the company planned to reduce the supply by as much as 3 million units. But, just like any other rumors about Apple products that came out, iPhone analysts refuted this one about the iPhone SE supply cut.
Liu’s comments did not pertain to any specific smartphone. This could be due to the fact the current market is still as healthy as ever. Apple will report its earnings for the period covering December 2021 to March 2022 in April. We will know by then whether the slow demand for smartphones includes the iPhone. | https://www.macobserver.com/news/iphone-demand-healthy-analysts-say-as-tsmc-claims-smartphone-demand-is-down/?utm_source=macobserver&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_everything | 2022-04-01T01:10:47Z |
Bodycam shows man pointed gun at police before fatal shooting
Updated March 31, 2022 - 5:45 pm
A man fatally shot by police at a Las Vegas mobile home park on Monday night pointed a gun at officers after a 30-minute standoff, police said Thursday.
Michael Allensworth, 41, of Las Vegas was shot by officers James Villareal, 27, Johnathan Cole, 25, and Beau Cooley, 31, according to the Clark County coroner’s office and the Metropolitan Police Department.
Assistant Sheriff Andrew Walsh said Thursday that officers initially responded to a 5:22 p.m. burglary call at the Riviera Mobile Home Park, 2038 Palm St.
“There had been an interaction the day before, and it appears that Allensworth came back to the trailer the next day to have a confrontation,” Walsh said.
Police arrived and attempted to de-escalate the situation, Walsh said, adding that Allensworth had pointed the gun at a homeowner before the 911 call. Allensworth, who lived in the area, did not drop the gun and told officers he was “going to kill a cop today.”
Body camera footage released at the Thursday briefing showed officers yelling for Allensworth to drop the gun, which he was holding at his side.
“Mike, drop it! We’re here to help you!” an officer yells.
Eventually, he pointed the gun at officers and they shot him. A total of 11 shots were fired by the three officers, Walsh said. Allensworth was taken to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Allensworth’s gun was a starter pistol that he’d filled with real bullets, Walsh said.
“That’s what’s unique about this case, is that he’d actually jammed two .22-caliber rounds into the cylinder which typically holds blanks,” Walsh said. “Speaking to some firearms experts, we believe it probably would’ve exploded had he pulled the trigger.”

Whakatane District Council says it will be arranging drainage works to be carried out in Edgecumbe to prevent future flooding events that Bridge St residents have been experiencing for the past decade.
Following last week's heavy rain, four Bridge St residents experienced inundation of their sections, by an overloaded stormwater system flowing back into an open drain that terminated on their properties.
Gloria Gibson, who lives three doors down from where the open drain terminates, said she had been complaining to the council about the issue for the 10 years she had lived there.
The problem had become worse in the past few years with another resident, Susan Franklin, saying it was the third time her section had flooded since she moved to the property, in November.

Advertise with NZME.Three waters manager Glenn Cooper said staff visited the properties to investigate the cause of the issues that occurred during last week's heavy rain event.
"We can confirm that all the catchpits on Bridge St were clear and flowing, but there was too much water for the system to cope with," Cooper said.
"The inundation was caused by part of the overloaded system flowing back into an open drain and then onto some of the nearby properties.
"Council has arranged for the installation of a manhole and chamber with a flood gate at this site to prevent this happening again. We are confident that this will significantly lessen the chance of similar flooding in the area during future heavy rain events."

World – A 25-year-old tourist caught an unusual moment while registering his passage through the entrance of a five-star hotel during his trip on Sukhumvit Road, in Bangkok. With his cell phone in hand, Frederick de Vreese, from Belgium, is approached by a very affectionate “good guy”, who starts to hug him and invite him to a room.
In the images, it is possible to see the moment when the Thai woman wraps her arms around the boy’s neck, trying to seduce him. During the hug, she manages to remove the gold chain that the boy wore around his neck. Soon after, the young woman leaves with the gringo’s luxury object.
According to the Daily Mail, the episode took place last Tuesday (29), and Frederick only noticed the missing necklace when he came across the video. He registered the theft with the police and reported that the chain belonged to his grandfather.
“[O colar] It had been in the family for many years. I think it was worth around 800 euros [equivalente a R$ 4,2 mil]. I’m devastated. It had a lot of sentimental value.”
The “good guy” has not yet been located and it is not the first blow with this technique that she applies to men who visit the city.

Another visit to Arlington: OU will play its third weekend of games at Globe Life Park during the Texas series.
The Sooners took two of three games against Northwestern State in late February after moving their home series due to weather. The following week, Oklahoma lost against LSU, UCLA and Tennessee.

Does playing at a Major League Baseball park get old for coaches and players?
“The baseball never gets old,” OU coach Skip Johnson said. “That’s what I enjoy. Playing at that ballpark is like walking into a mall. It’s incredible.”
This year’s Big 12 Tournament also will be played at Globe Life.
Strong start: Jake Bennett, a Bixby High School graduate, is typically OU’s Friday night starter. The left-hander is 2-0 this season with a Big 12-best 1.45 ERA through a team-high 37.1 innings pitched. He has 40 strikeouts against only seven walks.
How does Johnson like Bennett’s production after six starts?
“He’s going to continue to grow as he goes through this, more confidence, more trusting his preparation,” Johnson said. “He’s been good. Do I think he’s where I thought he was going to be? It’s hard to tell. I don’t really try to put an expectation on a kid. Their confidence is so fragile. … I mean, they’re amateurs.
“He’s going to be a good professional because he believes in what he does, he takes care of his body, he’s a great student, he does things the way you want your kids to be like. He’s that guy.”
Crunching numbers: OU has five everyday players hitting better than .300 — Jackson Nicklaus (.339), Diego Muniz (.339), Tanner Tredaway (.321), Jimmy Crooks (.320) and Blake Robertson (.316). … Tredaway leads the team with 19 RBIs. … Peyton Graham’s five home runs pace the team.

Imagine what it would be like if every car in Canada were to careen uncontrollably down a mountain, through a narrow corridor and into the ocean.
That’s approximately what the mass of rock that fell into Elliot Lake, turning a small creek above Bute Inlet into a raging torrent, equated to, according to a new report from researchers on the November 2020 Bute Inlet landslide. According to the paper, roughly 18 million cubic metres of rock descended 1,000 metres into a glacial lake at the head of Elliot Creek in the traditional territory of the Homalco First Nation north of Campbell River on the B.C. mainland coast. The landslide had a mass of 50 million tonnes — equal to the combined mass of every car in the country — and caused a 100 metre Tsunami in a small lake, and sent pretty much everything down the valley to the ocean.
“We expect large events to happen from time to time in areas like that. What’s a little bit unusual though, is the magnitude of the wave. We have seen it in other places too, but I think this is the largest wave we’ve seen in B.C. We haven’t witnessed or seen the effects of anything that has been more than 100 metres high,” said Marten Geertsema, a researcher with the Ministry of Forests. “What’s really remarkable is if you think about that small valley, you wouldn’t be able to outrun this. We lost four million cubic metres of material in that creek in about ten minutes. It eroded to a depth of about 50 metres below the creek bed in a few places. It’s hard to imagine that water power.”
Researchers were quick to head into the valley and collect as much data as possible. Over the past year, they have been compiling and analyzing that data and have recently published their findings.

Researchers see learning opportunity as ‘silver lining’ of Bute Inlet slide
Part of Geertsema’s research is the effects of climate change on natural hazards. Some of the modelling data presented in the paper can be used to help people prepare for the effects of climate change, particularly as rock slides and rock avalanches tend to increase in the mountains as the glaciers that had formerly held the rocks in place melt away.
“We see an increase in rock slides in mountain areas, mainly in under two situations. One is when glaciers are receding, so they’re often on the walls above those glaciers or in the area of those glaciers. The other area is where we have mountain permafrost degradation,” Geerstema said. “We’re doing research in that area right now. We’re exploring, especially these areas where we think landslides could be more likely to increase — along the glacier margins. We’re looking for these kinds of deformations that may give us an indication that slopes may be ready to fail.”
As glaciers melt, they reveal lakes like Elliot Lake that were once hidden beneath ice. The report shows evidence of a similar rockfall in the same area, but since the lake was covered by the glacier at the time there was no catastrophic outburst flood.
“An older landslide scar that is visible in aerial photography reveals that a landslide occurred from the same location before the 1950s,” the report says. “The older landslide likely ran across the glacier before Elliot Lake formed and thus the catastrophic flood experienced during the recent event could not have occurred.”
Over the past hundred years, over 1,000 similar glacial lake outbursts have been recorded around the world, and over 12,500 people have died as a result. In 2017, an outburst flood in Greenland killed four and washed away most of the fishing village of Nuugaatsiaq.
In Canada, most of the events have been in remote areas that have not caused any injury to people, however, the researchers note that “there is no assurance that this will be true in the future, given increased development and tourism in these formerly remote areas.”
LiDAR data compiled by the Hakai Institute has allowed researchers to do modelling of the slopes, which can be used to indicate dangerous areas in the mountains.
“It was really fortunate that we got LiDAR from before the event and then after,” Geertsema said. “That LiDAR was provided by the Hakai Institute, so we’re pretty grateful to them.”
The Southern Coast Mountains of Western Canada has over 8,000 square kilometres of glacier-covered terrain, and it is seeing some of the fastest glacial loss rates in the world.

NEW ORLEANS, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As March Madness® and the Men's Final Four® reaches its crescendo in New Orleans, LG Electronics USA, an official NCAA® partner, announced today it has committed $150,000 in funding as well as product to St. Augustine High School, a New Orleans-based college preparatory school.
The pledge from LG will establish the "LG Life's Good Endowed Scholarship Fund" at the school as well as contribute to the rebuild of the school's flood and fire-damaged basketball court. LG is also supplying a range of products including LG OLED TVs for a new film room in its Health & Wellness Center, LG Washers & Dryers for a new laundry room and LG Air Purifiers for use throughout the school. The LG Life's Good Endowed Scholarship Fund, which will award its first recipient this year, is a need-based general award that all St. Augustine High School graduating seniors can apply for as long as they are going to attend an NCAA school.1
"As a proud partner of the NCAA, LG wanted to give back to the host city of the Men's Final Four and help inspire the next wave of student athletes in New Orleans," said Peggy Ang, Senior Vice President of Marketing at LG Electronics USA. "When our partners at the NCAA, Turner Sports and CBS Sports, brought to us the story of St. Augustine and the positive impact that school has in its community, we wanted to help them continue their tradition of inspiring students to succeed in the classroom and on the field of play."
"We are truly grateful for this inspiring commitment from LG," said Aulston Taylor, President & CEO at St. Augustine High School. "The St. Augustine community is thrilled that LG has decided to invest in the future of our students and our school. Our basketball court and Health & Wellness Center are a symbol of resiliency at St. Augustine, as it has emerged stronger after Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ida, and most recently a fire on Thanksgiving Day last year. With the help of friends like LG and many other supporters of our school, we are on the path to rebuilding our facility to its former glory. We will prevail!"
St. Augustine High School is an all-boys Catholic high school founded in 1951. Educating students primarily of predominantly African American backgrounds, the school serves as a training ground for leadership through academic excellence and moral values.

DOJ to name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud, Biden says
President Biden announced Tuesday night that the Department of Justice will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.
“We’re gonna go after the criminals who stole billions of relief money meant for small business and millions of Americans,” Biden said during his State of the Union address.
“Tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will soon name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud,” Biden said.
The White House said in an accompanying fact sheet that the prosecutor will “focus on the most egregious forms of pandemic fraud.”
The department’s COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force “will expand its already robust efforts by appointing a Chief Prosecutor to lead teams of specialized prosecutors and agents focusing on major targets of pandemic fraud, such as those committing large-scale identity theft, including foreign-based actors,” the White House said.
“These strike force teams will also use state-of-the-art data analytics tools to connect the dots on identity theft and other complex fraud schemes committed across state lines or transnationally, as well as investigate major cases of criminal fraud in programs like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Unemployment Insurance (UI),” it added.
This comes after the U.S. Secret Service selected a senior agency official to serve as the National Pandemic Fraud Recovery coordinator. In December, the agency said it had already seized more than $1.2 billion worth of relief funds that were illegally obtained and returned more than $2.3 billion in illegally obtained funds.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A nonprofit arm of West Virginia University took ownership of a shuttered pharmaceutical plant Thursday with the goal of improving area job and education opportunities.
WVU Medicine will work with the university through the WVU Innovation Corp. to oversee the 1.1-million-square-foot (102,190-square-meter) facility in Morgantown. Discussions with potential private industry tenants are ongoing, said WVU Health System President and CEO Albert Wright.
“There is significant interest from many parties in that building,” Wright said on a conference call. “We’re going to be working up a lot of different possibilities as to how we use that building over time.”
Wright said he envisions a few anchor tenants and other, smaller businesses in the building, as opposed to one big tenant. He said it’s possible that portions, but not all, of the building could be available for use as a pharmaceutical business.
“We’re looking to be an economic engine here,” Wright said. “We’re looking for some big-anchor tenants, but we’re also going to have a component to what we’re doing to be an incubator for startup businesses, to provide some of the infrastructure to get them going from the start.”
Prospective tenants don’t necessarily have to be health-care related, “but we’d like to tie it into the health science capability of the university,” Wright said. “So we have had a number of small startups that are interested.”
Viatris Inc. transferred the facility for $1 under a memorandum of understanding with the university. Viatris announced in December 2020 that it was laying off 1,500 workers at the plant, which was formerly operated by the generic drug company Mylan.
Mylan merged with Upjohn in 2020 to form the new company. Viatris, which announced it would slash 20% of its workforce worldwide, is now one of the world’s leading makers of generic drugs and maintains research and development operations in Morgantown.
“Our goal has always been to identify a responsible new steward for this unique site that would secure the best possible future for the facility, our impacted employees and the Morgantown community, a community that continues to play an important and vital role for Viatris,” company executive chairman Robert J. Coury said in a statement.
The plant closing left workers scrambling to find new jobs in a state that is often trying to lure new companies to uplift a stagnant economy once dominated by the coal industry.
Rob Alsop, WVU’s vice president for strategic initiatives, said former Mylan employees will be offered a tuition-free education at the university. Coupled with the state’s existing offer of free tuition at its community colleges, it will “make sure that those employees are ready for the new job opportunities that we hope come from this,” he said. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/business/wvu-nonprofit-arm-takes-over-shuttered-plant-tenants-sought/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:50Z |
WATCH: On location for Pastor Artur Pawlowski's release from jail
After nearly two months of incarceration, Pastor, husband and father Artur Pawlowski is finally home with his family following his release from the Calgary Remand Centre on Wednesday under strict bail conditions.
After spending 51 days behind bars, Pastor Artur Pawlowski was granted bail on a litany of charges stemming from his preaching at the Coutts border blockade and a series of health order and contempt of court order violations resulting from Pastor Artur opening his church, feeding the homeless and attending protests allegedly in violation of COVID-19 restrictions and mandates.
While Artur is now home, he is far from free, as he is subject to a strict curfew and an effective house arrest aside from times where he is serving his church community as a pastor.
You will be able to watch an exclusive long-form interview with Artur about his harrowing 51 days of incarceration that was recorded shortly after his release, but we were also on location at the Calgary Remand Centre to cover the release itself. As with all things Pastor Artur, authorities added a wrinkle to what should have been a straightforward release.
A crowd comprised of friends, family and congregants was on location to greet Pastor Artur as he left the Remand Centre, which is not at all uncommon when someone is being released. After a delay of an hour or so, Marzena, Artur’s wife, was notified by the corrections officers and relayed the message to all in attendance that if Pastor Artur were to speak with anyone as he was leaving the facility grounds he would be arrested again immediately. Not wanting to jeopardize his release, the crowd cleared out and Marzena and Nathaniel, Artur’s son, picked Artur up at the jail doors, with no one else being allowed near the area, and quickly left the area.
Shockingly, when I approached one of the guards who came out to ensure people were leaving to ask where we as media could position ourselves without compromising Artur’s release — explaining that we had covered pastor releases before without issue — he rudely scoffed. When pressed, he refused to answer and said that he doesn’t talk to Rebel News. At all times we were respectful and compliant, but if this is how they treat media respectfully asking a question on camera with plenty of witnesses, I am no longer surprised at some of the horrible treatment Artur described at the hands of certain guards.
We were able to capture Artur’s release from a distance before we joined him at his home for an extended interview, which, as I mentioned, will be available later today.
It is certainly welcome news to learn that Pastor Artur is at home with his family, but he is far from finished his legal fight. He faces strict bail terms and already has several court dates scheduled for October and November 2022, with more likely to follow. Artur is counting on your support to help pay his legal fees, so if you want to make a tax receipt eligible donation and support his fight for justice, go to SaveArtur.com.

Retracting his earlier predictions, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is now predicting that a rumored under-display Touch ID will not come in either the 2023 or 2024 iPhone models. In fact, the revised biometric security feature may not come at all, since Face ID with a mask on offers a better solution, according to the latest survey.
Kuo’s Previous iPhone 15 Predictions Regarding Under-Screen Touch ID
Both Kuo and DSSC’s Ross Young predicted that Apple would introduce under-screen Touch ID in either 2023 or 2024. Kuo believed that it would come to the iPhone 2023 lineup, while Young believed it wouldn’t arrive until 2024. Kuo retracted his prediction on the under-display Touch ID feature, but not Face ID. He still believes that Apple will eventually move the Face ID camera under the screen in a future iPhone.
Kuo’s Latest Predictions About the iPhone 15 (2023) and iPhone 16 (2024)
Kuo’s latest tweet said it all:
At the earliest, I previously predicted that iPhones would support under-display fingerprint sensing/Touch ID in 2023. But the latest survey indicates new iPhones in 2023 & 2024 may not adopt under-display Touch ID. Face ID with a mask on iPhone is already a great biometrics solution.
Kuo did not specifically mention from which survey he based his current predictions. However, Apple may have tested Touch ID on the iPhone 13 and then abandoned the feature. This could have triggered speculation of Touch ID returning to a future iPhone model.
Face ID with Mask May Have Prevented the Return of TouchID
With all that said, under-display Touch ID might have been a useful feature. Many countries still require people to wear face coverings. Touch ID would allow iPhone users to unlock their iPhones even while wearing face masks. Since iOS 15.4 added the ability to unlock Face ID when wearing a mask, though, the need for a return to Touch ID was eliminated.
Should Kuo’s latest predictions come true, we might not see Touch ID coming back to future iPhone models anytime soon. In fact, Apple may not bring the feature back at all. | https://www.macobserver.com/news/kuo-doesnt-believe-under-display-touch-id-is-coming-maybe-ever/?utm_source=macobserver&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_everything | 2022-04-01T01:10:53Z |

Woman arrested, accused of trying to suffocate newborn
Updated March 31, 2022 - 6:01 pm
A Primm woman was arrested Wednesday after authorities accused her of trying to suffocate her newborn.
Ashley Hollingsworth, 23, was booked on one count of child abuse and one count of attempted murder, according to jail records.
Las Vegas police initially were called early Sunday morning to MountainView Hospital after Hollingsworth dropped the baby off and ran away, according to an arrest report released Thursday.
The child’s father told police that she had the baby at a Las Vegas home Saturday night, but her family took her to the hospital due to the baby’s condition.
“It was later learned that Ashley had attempted to kill the baby by smothering her with a blanket while enroute to the hospital,” police wrote.
Hollingsworth’s aunt and uncle told police that the woman gave birth quietly in the guest bathroom and that they found the baby girl in the toilet.
The family headed to MountainView Hospital, but the uncle told police that on the way, he heard the baby stop crying and found Hollingsworth squishing a blanket over the girl’s face. He said Hollingsworth did this at least twice before he took the child away.
Hollingsworth was found near the hospital two hours later with a large wound on her head and bloody pants. She told police that she was “beat up by a rock.”
The woman was taken to University Medical Center and interviewed again on Tuesday. She told police that she had two other children, born in 2018 and 2020, who lived with their father in California.
Hollingsworth had been diagnosed with a medical condition four years ago that was redacted in the arrest report. She told police that she was not taking her medication while she was pregnant.
According to the report, she “continuously talked about prophecies and other religious ideations” and said she believed the baby was evil.
She is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in court again Monday.

The Secretary General of the State of Minas Gerais, Mateus Simões, reinforced that the bill for the 10.06% readjustment in the salary of servers, as approved, this Wednesday (31) by ALMG, will have to be vetoed. The veto had already been announced by Governor Romeu Zema himself. The replacement for the project grants a greater increase to servers in Education, Public Security and Health.
In an interview with Café com Política on the Super 91.7 FM radio station, Simões called the approval of the text by the deputies electoral and explained that the state does not have the resources to bear the costs that the project in the way it was approved will generate.
“We are reaching more than R$10 billion in fiscal responsibility proposed by the deputies who proposed to play this electoral role. Why do I say he is electoral? Because there is no possibility that this project will be approved in this way, it will have to be vetoed because there is no appeal. They didn’t indicate which resource, they didn’t say which hospitals we’ll have to close, the schools they want us to close, how many vehicles we’ll have to return. So, we will necessarily have to veto these excesses, said Simões.
The secretary also considered that by vetoing the project in the way it was approved, the governor will be ensuring that the salaries of the servers continue to be paid on time.
“We are not acting against education, public security and health workers. On the contrary, we are guaranteeing that these professionals will be paid on time. It would be great for the governor as a candidate for reelection to give this increase, but the governor is responsible, he is more concerned with tomorrow than with the electoral campaign”, pointed out Simões. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/04/01/simoes-reinforces-veto-on-greater-readjustment-for-education-health-and-public-security-2/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:54Z |

Add the perfect total body workout into your training, designed by Jeff at Athlean X. “Constructing a single perfect total body workout is a challenge when you consider all of the muscle groups that you will need to hit in that workout. That said, I’m going to deliver exactly that in this video. If you want to try just a single total body workout routine if you are new to this type of training, then you will want to do the A workout. If instead, you want to adopt a more rigorous total body split workout routine, then you will want to pair this up with the B workout and perform them in alternating fashion on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556644030474/campus-rec-flow-yoga-group-fitness-session | 2022-04-01T01:10:55Z |
Russia’s blocking of humanitarian aid to Ukraine and its bombing of medical facilities should be the subjects of an international war crimes investigation, says Canada’s international development minister.
Harjit Sajjan offered that view as a half dozen extra RCMP investigators head to The Hague to assist in the International Criminal Court investigation of alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.
“I have worked enough conflict areas and war zones to understand what international humanitarian law is. This is something that does need to be investigated. Civilians are not supposed to be harmed. That also includes when civilians need medical support, food support,” Sajjan said in an interview.
Sajjan, a former defence minister and Canadian Armed Forces veteran of the war in Afghanistan, was speaking ahead of the International Committee of the Red Cross announcement Thursday that it would be ready to start evacuating citizens from the besieged port city of Mariupol on Friday.
“For logistics and security reasons, we’ll be ready to lead the safe passage operation tomorrow, Friday, provided all the parties agree to the exact terms, including the route, the start time, and the duration,” the ICRC said in a statement on Thursday.
“It’s desperately important that this operation takes place. The lives of tens of thousands of people in Mariupol depend on it.”
Relentless Russian attacks on Mariupol have reduced massive sections of the city to rubble and have blocked efforts to get food, water and medicine to its estimated 430,000 residents, amid reports that some may have been abducted by invading troops.
Canada’s Parliament and others recognize as a genocide the acts perpetrated by Joseph Stalin that killed millions of Ukrainians in the 1930s, a tragic chapter of which Sajjan is mindful.
“The Ukrainians already have seen another Holocaust in their past with the Holodomor where the population was starved to death,” he said.
“This is just another time now, Russians using kind of a different tactic here. So, I hope that everything will be investigated thoroughly in this regard.”
Sajjan said carving out the corridors needed to get humanitarian supplies into Ukraine has been a difficult undertaking. Even when routes have been cleared, convoys have had to deal with booby traps and other hazards, he said.
“Every time you try and co-ordinate something, it’s been used for the Russians to start targeting folks in the corridor itself.”
Sajjan has travelled throughout eastern Europe to liaise with Canadian allies and international agencies, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Food Program. The food program reported recently it had helped feed its one millionth displaced Ukrainian.
An estimated 10 million Ukrainians have been forced out of their homes, while almost four million have sought asylum as refugees in the worst humanitarian disaster in Europe since the Second World War.
In a separate interview, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said the RCMP officers dispatched to assist the prosecutor’s office of the ICC — joining Mounties already deployed there on various investigations — will be seized with documenting the atrocities that are “continuing to occur in real time” in Ukraine.
Mendicino said he expected them to focus on digitally recording the destruction while eventually gathering testimony from the Ukrainians who have fled attacks.
“They are all living witnesses to what’s happened in Ukraine,” said Mendicino.
“Even while we continue to provide military aid and impose economic sanctions and (create) humanitarian corridors to allow those who are fleeing those atrocities to survive, we have to preserve the record.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that Russia should be kicked out of the G20, the group of leading nations charged with steering the world economy, echoing U.S. President Joe Biden’s call last week.
Trudeau said the G20, which also includes China, might include different countries with different approaches and “political structures” but its main function is to “manage and encourage economic growth.”
“Russia, right now, has with its illegal invasion of Ukraine upended economic growth for everyone around the world and can’t possibly be a constructive partner in how we manage in part the crisis created by Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine,” he said.
“The bottom line is it can’t be business as usual to have Vladimir Putin just sitting around the table pretending that everything is OK, because it’s not OK and it’s his fault.”
Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland welcomed a delegation of five Ukrainian MPs for further discussions on what Canada can do to help Ukraine’s democratically elected government survive the Russian invasion.
“We want to be a symbol of victory, for democratic growth, for democratic values,” said Lesia Zaburanna, the delegation chair. She said it was a difficult decision “for us to leave our home, our people … but we have to because it’s our duty.”

Dear Savvy Senior,
I need to find someone honest and reliable to look after my estate, health and long-term care when I’m no longer able to do it myself. I’m a 67-year-old recent widow with no children and one sibling I rarely talk to. Any suggestions?
Solo Ager
Dear Solo,
This is big concern for millions of older Americans who don’t have a spouse, children or other family they can depend on to watch out for their well-being. While there’s no one solution to this issue, here are some tips and resources that can help you plan ahead.
Essential Documents
If you haven’t already done so, your first step, before choosing a reliable decision maker, is to prepare a basic estate plan of at least four essential legal documents. This will protect yourself and make sure you’re wishes are carried out if you become seriously ill or when you die.
These essential documents include: a “durable power of attorney” that allows you to designate someone to handle your financial matters if you become incapacitated; an “advanced health care directive” that includes a “living will” that tells your doctor what kind of care you want to receive if you become incapacitated, and a “health care power of attorney,” which names a person you authorize to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to; and a “will” that spells out how you’d like your property and assets distributed after you die. It also requires you to designate an “executor” to ensure your wishes are carried out.
To prepare these documents your best option is to hire an attorney, which can cost anywhere between $500 and $2,000. Or, if you are interested in a do-it-yourself plan, Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2022 ($199, Nolo.com) and LegalZoom.com ($179) are some top options.
Choosing Decision Makers & Helpers
Most people think first of naming a family member as their power of attorney for finances and health care, or executor of their will. If, however, you don’t have someone to fill those roles, you may want to ask a trusted friend or associate but be sure to choose someone that’s organized and younger than you who will likely be around after you’re gone.
Also be aware that if your choice of power of attorney or executor lives in another state, you’ll need to check your state’s law to see if it imposes any special requirements.
If, however, you don’t have a friend or relative you feel comfortable with, you’ll need to hire someone who has experience with such matters.
To find a qualified power of attorney or executor for your will, contact your bank, a local trust company or an estate planning attorney. If you need help locating a pro, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) is a great resource that provides online directory to help you find someone in your area.
Another resource that can help you manage and oversee your health and long-term care needs as they arise, and even act as your health care power of attorney, is an aging life care manager. These are trained professionals in the area of geriatric care who often have backgrounds in nursing or social work. To search for an expert near you, visit AgingLifeCare.org.
Or, if you need help with bill paying and other financial/insurance/tax chores there are professional daily money managers (see AADMM.com) that can help.
Aging life care managers typically charge between $75 and $200 per hour, while hourly rates for daily money managers range between $75 and $150.
It’s also important to note that if you don’t complete the aforementioned legal documents and you become incapacitated, a court judge may appoint a guardian to make decisions on your behalf. That means the care you receive may be totally different from what you would have chosen for yourself.

Auburn has landed one of the nation’s best high school prospects, as five-star center Yohan Traore announced his commitment to Auburn on Thursday. The 6-foot-10 center originally from France chose Auburn over Gonzaga, Michigan and Texas Tech.
Traore was previously committed to LSU and head coach Will Wade. After LSU received a notice of allegations from the NCAA and fired Wade in early March, Traore decommited and Auburn worked on bringing him to the Plains.
Traore is rated as the No. 1 player in Arizona, the No. 4 center in the class of 2022 and the No. 15 player overall, according to 247Sports composite rankings.
The big man is only the program’s fourth five-star signee out of high school of all-time, joining Jabari Smith, Sharife Cooper and Mustapha Heron. Pearl and his staff recruited all of Auburn’s previous five-star prospects. Walker Kessler was a five-star in high school but came to Auburn as a transfer from North Carolina.

Currently, Pearl and the Tigers have two other players in their class of 2022.
Chance Westry is a four-star small forward from Arizona. Westry is the No. 2 player in the state, No. 9 small forward and No. 31 player in the class of 2022, according to 247Sports composite rankings.
Auburn’s other 2022 signee is point guard Tre Donaldson from Florida. The 6-foot-1 guard is the No. 18 point guard, No. 2 player in Florida and the No. 129 player in the nation, according to 247Sports composite rankings.
Traore, Westry and Donaldson will join an Auburn team that is coming off a 2021 season which saw the Tigers win the SEC regular-season championship for just the fourth time in program history. Auburn finished the season with a 28-6 record and made it to the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 32 before falling to Miami.
“After further consideration and reopening my recruitment I would like to thank all the colleges that took the time to re-recruit me. Once again it was a hard decision to make but I can only call one place home,” Traore said in his commitment announcement on Instagram.
“My journey has been a long one with the various changes that have occurred. I have had my ups and downs but stayed faith to God and my grind and have persevered but have so much more to accomplish. I would like thank my loving parents for instilling a work ethic on and off the court believing in me to pursue and accomplish my dreams. I would also like to thank the different programs I have been a part of along my journey from Dream Vision, Dream City Christian, Prolific Prep, and Southern Assault. You guys believed in my game and pushed me to become the player I aspire to be. I am also very appreciative of my teammates from the school season to AAU. I’ve built many friendships and developed relationships that I believe will last a lifetime.
“Lastly, I want to thank my family. The numerous things they do for me on and off the court plus showing me how to navigate in life has been bigger than basketball. With all that being said, it has been a tough decision but I can only choose one. I am thrilled to announce I will be committing to Auburn University.” | https://oanow.com/sports/college/auburn/five-star-center-yohan-traore-commits-to-auburn/article_a57f7c8a-b14d-11ec-8337-eb859d1d072e.html | 2022-04-01T01:10:56Z |
FORT MYERS, FLA. — Joe Ryan was surprised by his meeting with the manager on Wednesday. Rocco Baldelli was, too, at least by the ending.
"We hugged," Baldelli said.
That's because Ryan was so ecstatic about the news that Baldelli shocked him with: He and the coaching staff have selected the rookie righthander, who has five games of major-league experience, to take the mound against the Mariners on Opening Day at Target Field next Thursday.
Ryan will be the second Twins rookie ever to start a season opener, joining Tom Hall, who got a no-decision after pitching 5⅔ innings of a 4-3 loss to the Royals on Opening Day 1969. Hall had pitched only 29⅔ big-league innings at the time — or three more than Ryan has so far.
But Baldelli said the choice wasn't random and it wasn't because of how each starter's work schedule falls on the calendar. It's an honor that he wanted to bestow on the rookie because of the impression he made last September and again this spring.
People are also reading…
"He just goes out there and tries to make good pitch after good pitch, simplified things in all the right ways," Baldelli said of Ryan, who went 2-1 with a 4.05 ERA after being obtained in a trade with Tampa Bay last July for Nelson Cruz. "It's what allows him to go out there and have success, and I think he's ready for this."
The choice was even more surprising, given how many Opening Day starts the newly acquired veterans on the Twins' staff have made. Chris Archer was on the mound in four Rays openers, Sonny Gray three times for the A's (two) and Reds (one), and Dylan Bundy twice, once for the Orioles and last April for the Angels.
"Sonny Gray has many, many accomplishments — of course he was a consideration and part of this discussion," Baldelli said. "But the way things have played out, who was set up to do this and who was throwing the ball really well, who has proven himself to us in a lot of ways, the answer to that this year, for us, was Joe."
Baldelli said he hadn't told the other pitchers his decision, but "our pitching staff is a unit. I think everyone's going to be very happy for Joe."
CELESTINO TO MINORS
Gilberto Celestino was optioned to Class AAA St. Paul, but Baldelli said the news didn't seem to dampen Celestino's good mood.
"Honestly, nothing was going to take the smile off of his face," Baldelli said. "Not even that news."
That's because the young outfielder flew back to his home in the Dominican Republic earlier this week and on Tuesday, married his longtime girlfriend Lea in front of about 50 friends and family members.
"We were thinking about a future together," Celestino said, "and we decided to do it now."
Celestino said he didn't want to spend another summer away from his new wife, and them being married will speed up the immigration process.
The Twins also reassigned utility infielder Tim Beckham, a former overall No. 1 draft pick in 2008, to minor league camp.
PETRICKA, RAMIREZ SIGNED
Northfield native Jake Petricka has signed a minor league contract with the Twins, the team announced.
Petricka — a Faribault High School graduate who has pitched in parts of eight seasons in the major leagues, mostly with the White Sox — gives the Twins added bullpen depth for later this season. He'll remain in Fort Myers when camp ends next week to get his arm stretched out before being assigned to a minor league team, presumably the Class AAA St. Paul Saints.
Petricka, 33, was one of the game's most reliable middle relievers early in his career with the White Sox, posting ERAs of 2.96 and 3.63 in 2014 and 2015, his first two full seasons. But he has thrown only 14 innings in the majors over the past three seasons, allowing 13 runs.
In addition to Petricka, the Twins announced the signing of JC Ramirez, another 33-year-old righthander who has played for the Phillies, Diamondbacks, Mariners, Reds and Angels, to a minor league contract. | https://bismarcktribune.com/ryan-will-be-twins-opening-day-starter/article_cbc2ebd2-b14f-11ec-bfd3-7380d0c500a0.html | 2022-04-01T01:10:56Z |
Comedian Paul Rodriguez will take the stage at Chumash Casino Resort's Samala Showroom at 8 p.m. Friday, April 22.
Rodriguez, who broke into the stand-up circuit in the early 1980s with the ABC sitcom “A.k.a. Pablo” and later as host of “The Newlywed Game,” is known for his comedic take on everyday life and issues concerning the Latino community, according to a Chumash spokesperson.
He went on to make a splash on the big screen and has appeared in dozens of feature films.
He starred alongside Cheech Marin in the 1987s film “Born in East L.A,” and co-wrote, directed and starred in the film “A Million to Juan” in 1994. Rodriguez lent his voice to several film and television projects, including “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” “Dora the Explorer” and “King of the Hill.”
Staying true to his roots as a stand-up comic, Rodriguez executive-produced and starred in the comedy showcase “The Original Latin Kings of Comedy,” and continued to take the stage over the years having released several cable television stand-up specials, including “Paul Rodriguez: Behind Bars,” “Crossing White Lines” and “Paul Rodriguez: Live in San Quentin.”
Comedy Central in 2004 ranked Rodriguez at No. 74 on its list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of all Time. Rodriguez also is part-owner of the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
Tickets for the show are $39, $44, $49, $59 and $69 and are available at The CLUB at Chumash or online at www.chumashcasino.com. The resort is an age 21-and-older venue.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO U.S. SECURITYHOLDERS
The financial information included or incorporated by reference in this press release or the documents referenced herein has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differs from US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") in certain material respects, and thus are not directly comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
The disclosure and information contained or referenced herein uses mineral reserve and mineral resource classification terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada, and mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are made in accordance with Canadian NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). These standards differ significantly from the mineral reserve disclosure requirements of the United States Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") set forth in Industry Guide 7. Consequently, information regarding mineralization contained or referenced herein is not comparable to similar information that would generally be disclosed by U.S. companies under Industry Guide 7 in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Further, the SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") and, commencing for registrants with their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, the SEC Modernization Rules replaced the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. As a foreign private issuer that files its annual report on Form 40-F with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. The SEC Modernization Rules include the adoption of terms describing mineral reserves and mineral resources that are "substantially similar" to the corresponding terms under the CIM Definition, but there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules. U.S. investors are also cautioned that while the SEC recognizes "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under the Modernization Rules, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the "inferred mineral resources" exist. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. For the above reasons, information contained or referenced herein regarding descriptions of our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC under either Industry Guide 7 or SEC Modernization Rules.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release contains "forward-looking statements", within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Sandstorm Gold Royalties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the payment of the dividend and declaration of future dividends, including the timing and amount thereof, the future price of gold, silver, copper, iron ore and other metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "plans", or similar terminology.
Forward-looking statements are made based upon certain assumptions and other important factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of Sandstorm Gold Royalties to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which Sandstorm Gold Royalties will operate in the future, including the receipt of all required approvals, the price of gold and copper and anticipated costs. Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, amongst others, failure to receive necessary approvals, changes in business plans and strategies, market conditions, share price, best use of available cash, gold and other commodity price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks relating to the parties which produce the gold or other commodity the Company will purchase, regulatory restrictions, activities by governmental authorities (including changes in taxation), currency fluctuations, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility and competition.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions, the absence of control over mining operations from which the Company will purchase gold, other commodities or receive royalties from, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, risks in the marketability of minerals, fluctuations in the price of gold and other commodities, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, stock market volatility, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risks to Sandstorm" in the Company's annual report for the financial year ended December 31, 2021 and the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's annual information form dated March 31, 2022 available at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained or incorporated by reference, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

If you’re going to make fun of a half-assed, COVID-affected studio feature, it might help to make a studio feature that isn’t actually half-assed and affected by COVID. Uncharacteristically for Judd Apatow, The Bubble is exactly that. It could be that his luck simply ran out after many years of making movies that feel like personal in-jokes that the masses just happen to connect with. More likely with this particular project, he conceived an anemic story and tried to elevate a collection of improvised riff moments from his cast into something coherent.
Sadly, that makes The Bubble perfect for Netflix, where fast-forward allows viewers to skip to the few parts that are genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. Apatow hasn’t lost his sense of humor, just his sense of pacing—and perhaps his everyman-friendly perspective over his years of becoming a Hollywood tastemaker.
Inspired at least in part by Universal’s problems shooting the latest Jurassic World movie under quarantine protocols, The Bubble focuses on a knockoff dinosaur franchise called Cliff Beasts. Now on its sixth installment, shooting kicks off as a pandemic rages, locking each actor in their room for two weeks at a fancy English countryside hotel, making them instantly stir-crazy and irritable. Cabin fever, their competing egos, and the studio’s need for content at all costs quickly reduce the production to pandemonium.
Our sort-of protagonist is Carol Cobb (Karen Gillan), a not-as-young-as-she-used-to-be actress returning to the Cliff Beasts series after making a horrible, accidentally racist movie about Israel, Palestine, and aliens. Leaving behind a boyfriend who refuses to fly, she adapts awkwardly to COVID protocols and collaboration with her estranged castmates. Most testy is Lauren Van Chance (Leslie Mann, Apatow’s wife), a diva in the process of breaking up with franchise star Dustin Mulray (a disheveled David Duchovny, seemingly made up/down to resemble Apatow).
Also present are wanna-be health guru Sean Knox (Keegan-Michael Key), comic relief pothead Howie Frangopolous (Guz Khan), womanizer Dieter Bravo (Pedro Pascal), and the latest cast addition, teenage TikTok influencer Krystal Kris (Iris Apatow). It’s both ironic and oddly appropriate that the director’s daughter gives the movie’s best, most real performance—Judd’s comedy works best when its emotions and interpersonal interactions hit closest to home.
Given Apatow’s track record, it’s not only possible but likely that these characters are all inspired by people he knows or has worked with. Certainly they have their showbiz gibberish down pat, as when Knox pseudo-profoundly offers self-help pearls of wisdom like, “Problems—they’re just lessons in disguise!” But jokes made about the entertainment business, for people already in the business, don’t cut as deeply as those about a scruffy man-child accidentally fathering a kid, or a 40-year-old dad with money problems. Even Funny People understood that Adam Sandler’s comedy star was not the sympathetic character, but the regular people reacting to him. The Bubble half-heartedly creates a secondary ensemble of “normal” people who staff the hotel and maintain the film’s quarantine protocols, but sadly they’re more one-dimensional than the “stars” whose peccadilloes we’re supposed to laugh at.
The infrastructure of the movie-within-a-movie and its documentation by the one Apatow is himself making also don’t sync up. For anyone with a passing knowledge of the business, reality gets left behind when they learn both that Cliff Beasts is the 23rd largest action franchise in the world and that a major studio is bankrolling its $100 million budget. But even in production, it feels more like a knockoff by a cheapie copycat like The Asylum than Universal, particularly with its limited crew and a suitably cartoonish but decidedly inappropriate shot of a computer-generated dinosaur penis.
Meanwhile, to paraphrase one of the actors in another Hollywood parody, if you’re going to go full Tropic Thunder, then go full Tropic Thunder. As vapid executives whose subordinates dare not defy their authority, both Kate McKinnon and John Lithgow enjoy a handful of would-be Les Grossman moments here, but both seem to quickly learn that out-committing Tom Cruise is hard in this sort of role (much less any other), so their threats lack the career-snuffing certainty that makes us believe Cliff Beasts director Darren Eigan’s (Fred Armisen) obsequiousness.
Without some grounding in reality, The Bubble plays like a series of Saturday Night Live sketches, in particular Celebrity Jeopardy: The Movie; that said, plenty of moments are genuinely funny, which comes as no surprise given everyone involved. Pedro Pascal attempting a fake “ethnic” accent skewers what he likely has to endure regularly, while a smart-mirror gag involving a cameo from someone else associated with his most famous franchise will surely spawn a million horrible fanfics. And of course the exaggerated parodies of cliché characters (“Sweet Jesus’ biscuit!” exclaims Van Chance’s “Southern” character) and movie dialogue—“There’s nothing left to eat… but us!”—only reinforce the hackneyed repetition to which Hollywood filmmaker subject their audiences.
But there’s no emotional through line. The movie acknowledges at one point that nobody cares about major movie stars going stir crazy in quarantine, but doesn’t do anything meaningful with that self-awareness. Sure, by the end we understand why bored and locked-down celebrities might turn to drugs as an easy escape, but why should civilians facing harder quarantine protocols and actual economic adversity care if they get the movie finished? The risk of a character’s death from the film’s unspoken disease would add some much-needed jeopardy, but Apatow mostly ignores the pandemic except as a premise for pressure-cooker comedy.
Even if the characters on screen didn’t become better artists during the pandemic, then Apatow at least should have. With The Bubble, he seems to have mistaken jokes about moviemaking for moviemaking that shouldn’t be taken seriously. | https://www.avclub.com/the-bubble-review-judd-apatow-karen-gillan-pedro-pascal-1848713304 | 2022-04-01T01:10:58Z |
Biden says ‘COVID-19 no longer need control our lives’
President Biden said Tuesday that the country has reached a “new moment” in the fight against COVID-19 in which the virus “no longer need control our lives.”
Biden’s first State of the Union address comes as the omicron wave has descended, governors across the country are lifting mask mandates, including in schools, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance saying about 70 percent of the country is in areas where they no longer need to wear masks.
“We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, where severe cases are down to a level not seen since July of last year,” Biden said.
“Thanks to the progress we have made in the past year, COVID-19 no longer need control our lives,” he added.
He cautioned, though, that the virus is not going to completely go away, a fine line for the administration to walk given the threat of a new, more dangerous variant in the future. The delta variant’s rise threw a wrench in the administration’s plans after Biden previously touted progress at the Fourth of July last year.
“I know some are talking about ‘living with COVID-19,’” he said. “Tonight — I say that we never will just accept living with COVID-19. We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this virus mutates and spreads, we have to stay on guard.”
He outlined a range of steps aimed at preparing for the future and fighting the new phase of the virus.
To aid in these efforts, he said he would “soon” be sending Congress a request for more funding to fight COVID-19. Congress faces a March 11 deadline to fund the government. The administration has already informally requested $30 billion focused on domestic efforts and $5 billion for the global response, which some advocates have criticized as too small to vaccinate the world.
Pointing to vaccines, treatments, tests and masks, he said, “The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and we may need them again, so I expect Congress, and I hope you’ll pass that quickly.”
Starting next week, even people who have already ordered their four free tests on covidtests.gov will be able to order more tests, Biden said.
In addition, a new “test to treat” program will allow people to get tested at a pharmacy, and if they are positive, get treatment pills for free on the spot.
With many office workers working from home for roughly two years, Biden said the country is at a point in the virus fight where that can change.
“It’s time for America to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again with people,” Biden said. “People working from home can feel safe and begin to return to their offices.”
“We’re doing that here in the federal government,” he added. “The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.”
As COVID-19 measures like masks have divided the country, Biden closed his virus message with a call for more unity going forward.
“Let’s use this moment to reset,” he said. “So stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line. See it for what it is: a God-awful disease. Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we are: fellow Americans.”

India’s current account saw a deficit of $23 billion or 2.7% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in Q3FY22, the sharpest such gap since the second quarter of Q2FY19, mainly owing to a widening of the merchandise trade deficit to an unprecedentedly high $60 billion.
The December quarter also witnessed net portfolio outflows of $1.6 billion against inflows of $28.9 billion a year ago; yet, there was a modest accretion of $0.5 billion to the foreign exchange reserves on a balance of payment (BoP) basis in the quarter. The accretion was a robust $32.5 billion in the year-ago quarter.
In Q2FY22, the current account deficit (CAD) came in at a moderate 1.3% of GDP, while the account had a surplus of 0.9% of GDP in the previous quarter. Still, there was a large accretion of $31 billion to the reserves in Q2FY22, almost the same level as in the year-ago period, when the current account had a significant surplus of $15.5 billion.
The March quarter could also see a high CAD, but a bit lower than in Q3. Goods trade deficits remained relatively high in January and February 2022. If oil prices remain high, the CAD could see a further widening in Q1FY23.
The capital account had a surplus of only $23.2 billion in Q3FY22, compared with $40.4 billion in the previous quarter and $33.5 billion in the year-ago quarter. If the Ukraine crisis turns out to be a medium-term or long-term event, the RBI may have to let the rupee depreciate to address the BoP concerns. But if the geopolitical tensions wither away soon, then no such interventions may be required, analysts said.
Releasing the Q3 BoP data, the RBI said in a statement: “Net services receipts increased (in Q3), both sequentially and on a year-on-year basis, on the back of robust performance of net exports of computer and business services. Private transfer receipts, mainly representing remittances by Indians employed overseas, amounted to $23.4 billion, an increase of 13.1% from their level a year ago. Net outgo from the primary income account, mainly reflecting net overseas investment income payments, increased sequentially as well as on a y-o-y basis.”
In the financial account, net foreign direct investment recorded an inflow of $5.1 billion, lower than $17.4 billion a year ago. Portfolio investment recorded net outflow of $5.8 billion against an inflow of $21.2 billion in Q3:2020-21.
India recorded a current account deficit of 1.2% of GDP in April-December 2021 as against a surplus of 1.7% in April-December 2020. | https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/cad-widens-to-2-7-of-gdp-in-q3fy22/2478135/ | 2022-04-01T01:10:58Z |
