Is Alberta in a 6th wave? Doctors and scientists say be prepared
Positivity rates, wastewater levels and new hospitalization rates starting to rise
Some doctors and scientists are warning that Alberta's sixth COVID-19 wave has already begun despite a message from government that it's too early to say for sure.
Several key COVID metrics, including positivity rates and wastewater levels, are starting to tick up again a month after the province lifted virtually all remaining public health measures.
"The numbers are not good," said Dr. Noel Gibney, professor emeritus of critical care medicine at the University of Alberta.
"We're in the very early phase of the sixth wave. Many other provinces are. The difference is they've admitted it."
New hospitalization rates are starting to rise again, too, and the trends are a big concern for Gibney.
"It looks like we're starting out the sixth wave with a really high baseline of hospitalizations. And the worry is that we could get way over the number of hospitalizations that we saw in the fifth wave."
The latest publicly available numbers show that, as of Monday, there were 964 people in hospital with COVID, including 47 in intensive care. One week earlier, there were 956 in hospital with 56 in the ICU.
On Wednesday, Health Minister Jason Copping acknowledged early growth in Alberta's positivity rates and wastewater data. But, he said, it's too early to tell if the sixth wave has started.
"We're going to have to wait and see. If we look at other jurisdictions around the world and across the country, we have seen an increase in BA.2 — an increase in cases. What remains to be seen is how big that wave will be and then what the impact will be on our health-care system," he said.
"Our wastewater data is one of the leading indicators. We are seeing a slight uptick, initial uptick, particularly in Calgary and Edmonton. But there's high variability in that so we're going to have to watch over the next days and weeks to see whether or not that is going to continue to rise."
The BA.2 subvariant, which now accounts for 70 per cent of lab confirmed cases in Alberta, is more transmissible than the original Omicron variant (BA.1).
Calgary-based developmental biologist Gosia Gasperowicz agrees the sixth wave is here.
"What I'm seeing now is very similar to what I've seen in March of last year and then in summer and then before Christmas," she said.
"We see this undergrowth wave of new variant," she said.
This is how waves begin, she said. They aren't obvious at first because the new variant begins growing exponentially as case numbers for the old variant drop. And the numbers are quite small at first.
But, Gasperowicz said, the upward trajectory is clear.
"The doubling is between nine and 10 days. So if it continues like this, we can see 2,000 daily new cases around April 19 and then 4,000 on April 29."
According to Gasperowicz, that is the more likely scenario, but a more optimistic prediction, with a slower doubling time, would push the peak into late May or mid-June. She'd like to see mask mandates and other measures such as widespread PCR testing and contact tracing reinstated.
Gibney said Albertans need to be prepared for what's to come.
"This is coming down the road," he said. "This sixth wave is going to be a rockier wave, unfortunately I think, than the fifth wave that we've just been through."
A key reason for that, Gibney said, is the province's low third dose uptake. Just 42.8 per cent of eligible Albertans (ages 12 and up) have three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
And he's urging the unvaccinated to get their shots and those with just two doses to get their booster.
"To stop ending up in hospital, you need three shots," he said.
"We have a lot of people, unfortunately, who aren't properly covered that are going to end up in hospital. And it really shouldn't happen." | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/sixth-wave-alberta-be-prepared-1.6404441?cmp=rss | 2022-04-01T01:34:54Z |
That’s quite a compliment.
Sidney Sweeney, who plays Cassie Howard in the hit HBO Max series “Euphoria”, Admitted to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” That she forgot about her nude scenes in the series when she invited her grandparents to the season 2 premiere.
But seeing him in the flesh, his reaction was shocking.
“I invited my whole family and I didn’t really think about it [the nudity], Sweeney, 24, revealed. “I was like, ‘It’s a Hollywood premiere! You have to come!’ We were all sitting next to each other and huge screens – huge screens.”
She was embarrassed to say that she was “on the floor” and “not thinking” because she was too excited.
However, her grandparents were clearly not…

Monroe officers involved in fatal shooting have returned to work
Mar. 31—The five Monroe police officers involved in a fatal shooting last month have returned to work after being on paid administrative leave since the incident, according to a police official.
The officers involved were Sgt. Caleb Payne, Officer Michael Doughman, Officer Skylar Halsey, Officer Micah Day and Officer Austin Whitt, the department said.
This week, a Butler County grand jury declined to indict the Monroe officers for the Feb. 11 shooting that killed Dustin Booth.
The 35-year-old was experiencing mental health issues. He was shot 13 times, according to the Butler County Coroner's Office.
The Monroe police department is waiting for the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to complete its investigation into the fatal shooting before it completes its own investigation. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be released, the official said.
Butler County Prosecutor Michael Gmoser announced the grand jury results Tuesday morning, stating in a press release, "Using lethal force by the Monroe police to stop the lethal threat of force directed against them was justified and appropriate."
Attorney Konrad Kircher, who is representing Booth's family, told the Journal-News a federal lawsuit will be filed against the officers and the department.
"The grand jury outcome was not justice. The family will now seek justice in federal court. We will file a lawsuit next week against the officers and the department," Kircher said.
The BCI investigation revealed Booth had a recent history of behavioral issues resulting in a brief hospitalization. On Feb. 11, those issues reemerged and the Monroe Police Department was called in because of concerns that Booth may endanger himself and others with a firearm he was seen to possess, according to Gmoser.
"The Monroe Police Department made the tactical decision not to escalate Mr. Booth's condition and did not forcibly confront Mr. Booth where he was isolated in his home alone after failing to comply with police orders to stop a vehicle he was driving when the police were informed of his conduct. The home of Mr. Booth is in close proximity to neighbors and any confrontation there was seen as endangering the civilian population.
Two police negotiators by phone were also unsuccessful in convincing Mr. Booth to meet with police and his voluntary temporary isolation was decided upon as the best immediate solution until Mr. Booth decided to come forward peaceably," Gmoser said.
Late in the day, a friend of Booth took it upon himself to intercede, Gmoser said. The man gave Booth a ride away from the neighborhood and he was able to inform the police via text that Booth was armed with a pistol.
"At a location in Monroe near State Route 63, the police directed the driver to stop and Booth exited the vehicle with his .45 caliber, fully loaded, revolver in a holster over his shoulder and continued to walk away after the police directed him to stop. He did not, but with both hand (s) in the air as seen by a witness nearby. A police canine was directed to intercept Mr. Booth, but was unsuccessful in stopping him. There upon, Mr. Booth was physically confronted by a Monroe police officer as four other Monroe officers converged," Gmoser said.
"Both the confronting officer and Mr. Booth went down to the ground, and as Mr. Booth stood up with his pistol in hand, he pointed it in the direction of the five Monroe police officers, all of whom immediately fired their service weapons to stop the assault. This action was captured on a police officer body camera and is definitive of the moment before shots were fired. Mr. Booth was struck multiple times and he survived a short time before he died at a local hospital. Using lethal force by the Monroe police to stop the lethal threat of force directed against them was justified and appropriate."
Body camera videos from the officers appear to show that Booth had a gun in his hand when the officers fired. Warren County Coroner Russell Uptegrove said a preliminary report indicates Booth was shot 13 times.
Booth was the father of two sons. His family said he was a great husband and father and coached the boys in multiple youth sports leagues, according to the statement from the attorney. Booth worked for Cleveland Cliffs for 13 years and he had a side business power washing and cleaning the exterior of homes.
He had no criminal record. | https://news.yahoo.com/monroe-officers-involved-fatal-shooting-010900135.html | 2022-04-01T01:34:58Z |
RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) — The nation’s oldest active park ranger is hanging up her Smokey hat at the age of 100.
Betty Reid Soskin retired Thursday after more than 15 years at the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California, the National Park Service announced.
Soskin “spent her last day providing an interpretive program to the public and visiting with coworkers," a Park Service statement said.
She led tours at the park and museum honoring the women who worked in factories during wartime and shared her own experience as a Black woman during the conflict. She worked for the U.S. Air Force in 1942 but quit after learning that “she was employed only because her superiors believed she was white," according to a Park Service biography.
“Being a primary source in the sharing of that history – my history – and giving shape to a new national park has been exciting and fulfilling,” Soskin said in the Park Service statement. “It has proven to bring meaning to my final years.”
Soskin won a temporary Park Service position at the age of 84 and became a permanent Park Service employee in 2011. She celebrated her 100th birthday last September.
“Betty has made a profound impact on the National Park Service and the way we carry out our mission,” Director Chuck Sams said. “Her efforts remind us that we must seek out and give space for all perspectives so that we can tell a more full and inclusive history of our nation.”
Soskin was born Betty Charbonnet in Detroit in 1921 but recalled surviving the devastating Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 while living with her Creole family in New Orleans, according to the Park Service biography.
Her family then moved to Oakland, California, and Soskin remained in the San Francisco Bay Area, where in 1945 she and her first husband founded one of the first Black-owned record stores in the area, the biography said.
She also was a civil rights activist and took part in meetings to develop a general management plan for the Home Front park. She has received several honors.
She was named California Woman of the Year in 1995.
In 2015, Soskin received a presidential coin from President Barack Obama after she lit the National Christmas tree at the White House.
In June 2016, she was awakened in her home by a robber who punched her repeatedly in the face, dragged her out of her bedroom and beat her before making off with the coin and other items. Soskin, then 94, recovered and returned to work just weeks after the attack. The coin was replaced.
Soskin also was honored with entry into the Congressional Record. Glamour Magazine named her woman of the year in 2018. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Oldest-U-S-active-park-ranger-retires-at-100-17049910.php | 2022-04-01T01:34:59Z |

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The mother of a newborn baby attempted to kill her child after a home birth, police said.
Police said they were called to the emergency room at Mountain View Hospital on Saturday for a report of a new mother who refused to enter the hospital and was “bleeding profusely,” they wrote in an arrest report.
Police said the newborn’s mother, Ashley Hollingsworth, 22, had tried to kill the child with a blanket.
Hollingsworth was located more than two hours later with severe injuries to her head, police said.
Investigators learned that Hollingsworth had given birth in a toilet about an hour before they were called to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, police said “Ashley had wrapped [a] blanket around the baby’s head and was pushing the blanket against the baby’s face.” Doctors initially believed the newborn may have suffered a brain bleed, but staff later determined the child likely did not suffer any injuries.
While speaking with detectives the next day, a witness told police Hollingsworth reportedly said there was “something evil” in her stomach that was “trying to kill” the baby. Hollingsworth later told police in an interview that she believed the baby was “probably evil.”
“After seeing the baby’s eyes, smelling what she described as an abnormal scent, and the baby grunting at her, Ashley decided to wrap the blanket around the baby’s head,” police wrote in their report.
Hollingsworth was found with self-inflicted injuries to her face, police said.
Police arrested Hollingsworth on Wednesday. She faces charges of attempted murder and child abuse or neglect. She was being held without bail ahead of a court hearing next week. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/crime/las-vegas-police-mother-attempts-to-kill-newborn-says-baby-was-evil/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:00Z |

A second part will hit fans’ screens on July 11 to bring a definitive closure to the fascinating story of Saul Godman, the character played by Bob Odenkirk since the second installment of Breaking Bad.
The intense new episodes of Better Call Saul’s sixth and final season are still a few weeks away; and in the meantime, fans continue to formulate theories about the fate of some main characters, based on the promotional trailer released in early March.
Better Call Saul fans hoped for the best for Saul Gooman and Kim Wexler in the crime drama’s final season, but the background song in the Season 6 trailer hints at just the opposite for both characters, according to site Cheatsheet. The theme song could be a huge sign of things to come when the series premieres its latest installment on AMC.
Among all the characters featured in the Better Call Saul season 6 trailer, fans can see Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler as they plot to rip off Howard Hamlin. And although he initially seemed against the idea, he later agrees so he decides to go ahead with his plan. The background song could be a reference to what both characters are up to.
It turns out that the song in the trailer is titled “Days of Wine and Roses,” and it’s from a 1962 movie of the same name, which starred Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. A film production that according to IMDb, follows an alcoholic who marries a young woman and systematically makes her addicted to drinking, so that both can share their ‘passion’ together. However, her drinking gets so out of control that he dumps her.
This could be the similar case in Better Call Saul for Saul and Kim, but substituting alcohol for deception. The latest installment of the Breaking bad prequel is described as devastating. And while no further details have been revealed, it doesn’t bode well for Kim at the end of the AMC drama. Her own interpreter, Rhea Seehorn, previously told fans that the upcoming episodes will be heartbreaking, while producer and writer Thomas Schnauz told Den of Geek that there would be “more physical and emotional violence in Season 6.”
The truth is that it is believed that Kim Wexler will die in the sixth season of Better Call Saul, a fan theory that gains strength due to the absence of the character in Breaking Bad. However, Odenkirk has revealed in the past that that doesn’t mean she loses her life. This was what the interpreter of Saul Goodman said last year to The Hollywood Reporter:
“In fact, there is a version of life where Kim and Jimmy stay married and have a Mary Matalin and James Carville-style situation. Kim would be a superpowered attorney at the White-Shoe Law Firm, and he would be the complete ambulance chaser all over town. And at night, they go home, take off their costumes and are nice to each other.”
“I don’t think we’re going to go there, but in real life, those strange and seemingly conflicting relationships can be very real,” he added. “They can pass. It’s probably easy to think that Kim dies, or that someone who isn’t visible dies. But there are still a lot of people who die on these shows; the stakes are high. But I’m with you that anything could be the case.” | https://www.somagnews.com/better-call-saul-season-6-what-we-suspected-the-kim-trailer-would-show/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:00Z |
News of the death of former Leicestershire Police Chief Constable Simon Cole has left many of us here at De Montfort University in shock and grief.
For more than a decade, Simon led the county’s police service and when he retired, just 12 days before he died, he was the longest-serving chief constable in England and Wales.
This is a clear mark of the quality of his leadership and the energy and charisma he brought to the role, and to the nation as a whole.
He embodied these qualities as a member of our Board of Governors. For three years, between 2017 and 2020, he played an active role in the university community, participating in board meetings and helping to advise on strategic decisions.
But other than that, Simon was always eager to meet with students and support projects…

Hamburg fire leaves house gutted
Patricia Alvord
Livingston Daily
HAMBURG - A structure fire that broke out early Thursday morning has left a Hamburg house, located at the 7600 block on Tharp Dr., gutted.
The Hamburg Township Fire Department responded to the call around 4 a.m. and stayed on scene for several hours. No injuries were reported.
At this time, the cause is unknown. Adjacent to the home was a tree and powerline down, but there's been no confirmation that either one caused the fire. | https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/2022/03/31/hamburg-fire-leaves-house-gutted/7232605001/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:02Z |
Rent relief helped prevent more than 1 million evictions in 2021
The federal government's emergency rental assistance program helped prevent more than one million evictions last year.
An estimated 1.36 million renters avoided an eviction filing in 2021 as a result of the government's unprecedented $46.5 billion rent relief program and other protections, according to a recent analysis by Princeton University's Eviction Lab published earlier this month.
Treasury officials reported Wednesday that $30 billion in emergency rent relief was spent or obligated by the end of February. Despite a slow and confusing initial roll out of the program last spring, more than 4.7 million payments were made to households since January 2021.
Treasury expects the remainder of the funds to be exhausted by the middle of this year.
Impact of the assistance
A national eviction ban was put in place in September 2020. While it did not stop all evictions, it significantly slowed the tide of eviction filings until the emergency aid could reach struggling renters and their landlords, White House and Department of Treasury officials said.
"We knew from the start that we faced a race with time to get the emergency rental assistance flowing to a significant degree by the time the national eviction moratorium was lifted," said Gene Sperling, the White House American Rescue Plan coordinator. "We largely won that race."
In the six states and 31 cities tracked by the Eviction Lab researchers, eviction filings fell sharply at the onset of the pandemic, but then increased in the later months of 2020 even with the ban in place. Given the increased number of renters experiencing economic hardship as the pandemic continued into 2021, experts worried about a "tsunami" of evictions and anticipated the number of filings to skyrocket above levels seen in 2019.
But the opposite happened. In a typical year, roughly 865,000 eviction cases were filed in the areas the Eviction Lab tracks. In 2021, roughly half as many evictions were filed, with 434,304 cases.
Evictions fell in all but one of the 31 cities tracked in 2021. The outlier was Las Vegas, where jobs in tourism evaporated, adversely impacting the large number of renters in the city's service sector, according to the report. New York City had the biggest reduction in eviction filings from typical levels, with the report estimating nearly 184,000 eviction cases were avoided in New York City.

The emergency rental assistance was found to have a strong impact on the low-income and majority-Black neighborhoods that see a disproportionate share of eviction cases. Those areas experienced the largest absolute reduction in eviction filings last year, the Eviction Lab report found.
The report found that in 2021 the most disadvantaged neighborhoods experienced the biggest gains in terms of rental housing stability. But it also found that, among the eviction cases filed, women of color were disproportionately affected.
More than 80% of emergency rental assistance reached the lowest income households, according to the Treasury, with about 40% of all applicants who received assistance self-identifying as Black, and about 20% self-identifying as Latino.
Moving remaining money
The federal emergency rent relief was approved in two rounds of funding. The first, which included $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act at the end of 2020, and $21.55 billion under the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021.
Some state and local governments have exhausted allotted funds while others have not distributed everything they have received. As a result, Treasury has been reallocating money to ensure it gets to renters most in need.
Of the $25 billion in the first batch of money, Treasury has already moved $2 billion in underused funds. Beginning in April, funds from the second batch will be reallocated.
This process has "allowed dollars to flow to places with high need," said Noel Poyo, Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Economic Development. "Generally reallocated funds went to higher need areas with more diverse communities."
He said he expects that trend to continue with the available funds from the second batch of money.
But it is a challenging balance to strike, Poyo said, between getting dollars to places where they are running out of funds and making sure that money is still available in places where assistance may have gotten started more slowly and people remain in need.
Treasury is encouraging state and local governments to use the additional funding to assist more renters and make continued investments in housing stability.
"In just one year, the Emergency Rental Assistance program built a national infrastructure for eviction prevention that never existed before and has helped keep eviction rates well below historic averages throughout the pandemic," said Poyo.
He also suggested state and local governments build on the network for support they have established and provide services like housing counselors, "that will help families avoid economic scarring long after COVID-19 is in the rearview mirror," he said. | https://www.wdsu.com/article/rent-relief-prevent-million-evictions/39602016 | 2022-04-01T01:35:02Z |
On Sunday, the 6-2, 340-pound nose tackle known as "Big Grease" will play his 200th NFL game against Philadelphia.
Ryan Pickett's teammates have embraced the cheerful, seasoned veteran and the nickname he's held since he was three years old. When he grew bigger than his father, sometime in high school, 'Little Grease' became 'Big Grease.'
Pickett, who signed with Houston on September 24, was a free agent keeping in shape waiting for his next opportunity. While playing golf in California, he received a call from the Texans in late September to come in for a meeting.
"When?" he asked, "Next week?"
The Texans wanted Pickett soon, much sooner. So he headed home, packed up this things, and boarded a plane for Houston the same day.
"We had our eye on him," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "We knew he was out there. We brought him in, worked him out and it looked like he was in halfway decent shape for a workout. We figured that he'd been working, not just sitting on the couch. We brought him in and we thought he'd help us, and he has."
The fourteen-year veteran didn't expect to be starting in Week 4 against Buffalo, just four days after he signed. He has started every game since.
"He's played a big role," O'Brien said. "He's played a big role in the 3-4. He's got good size. He's played a lot of football in this league. He's gotten in better and better football condition since he's arrived. He's worked hard at that. He's done a good job of holding the point. He's a tough guy to move. He's a 340 pound guy, tough to move. He's got good instincts, good hands. He's played a good part in helping us in our run defense and the 3-4 defense."
Pickett, a 2001 first round draft pick out of Ohio State, learned from Texans defensive line coach Bill Kollar during his first five years in the NFL. Kollar held the same position for the Rams from 2001-2005, the duration of Pickett's career in St. Louis.
Pickett has attributed his success of 14 NFL seasons with three teams to staying healthy and being accountable. He strives to be better every day.
"I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm getting there," Pickett said.
Big Grease and the (4-4) Texans will host the (5-2) Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. on FOX KRIV-26 and SportsRadio 610. | https://www.houstontexans.com/news/big-grease-to-play-in-200th-game-14124931 | 2022-04-01T01:35:02Z |
The California Department of Motor Vehicles reminds Los Angeles County residents to create or update their MyDMV account with their current mailing address and email address to stay informed about DMV services and to make sure important information from the DMV is sent to the correct address.
Through the MyDMV account, which can be accessed on the DMV homepage, customers can easily take advantage of many online options, including vehicle registration and driver’s license renewals, and changing an address. Customers can also sign up for paperless renewal notices at CA DMV.
“While our offices remain open for business, most of what you need to accomplish at the DMV can be done online,” said DMV Director Steve Gordon. “We encourage our customers to go online first to save time, and better yet, sign up to get renewal notices by email. Together, we can save tons of paper every day.”
Offering the option to receive electronic notices is part of the California DMV’s commitment to expand digital services and reduce its carbon footprint. The DMV started offering driver’s license renewal notices by email in July 2021. Vehicle registration renewal notices are now also available by email.
In addition, the DMV now offers online options so customers who need to take a driver’s license knowledge test can complete the requirement at home before visiting a DMV office. For customers renewing a license with a knowledge test requirement, the DMV offers two options: a remote version of the traditional knowledge test or an interactive eLearning course.
Californians can save time by filling out the online driver’s license application, including for REAL ID, before they visit a field office. Customers may also upload required REAL ID documents beforehand to save time during their office visit.
Starting May 3, 2023, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will require a valid passport or other federally approved documents, like a REAL ID driver’s license or identification card, to board flights within the United States and access secure federal facilities and military bases.

Costs top Americans' health care concerns, new poll finds
Americans' biggest health care priorities revolve largely around affordability, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll, with most wanting to see Congress tackle drug prices. More broadly, inflation and rising costs dominate the public's concerns.
The findings, released Thursday, show that 55% of Americans call inflation and rising prices the biggest problem facing the U.S., far ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (18%), climate change (6%), the COVID-19 pandemic (6%) or crime (6%).
That's true across party lines, although the sentiment is most pronounced within the GOP: About 70% of Republicans call inflation the country's biggest issue, compared with 53% of independents and 46% of Democrats.
Similarly, other recent polls have found the rising cost of living dominating Americans' minds. In a new Quinnipiac poll, 30% of Americans picked inflation as the most urgent issue facing the U.S., with the Russia/Ukraine crisis following at just 14%. NBC polling also found Americans more focused on economic concerns than foreign policy or other issues. And a new Gallup survey said 17% of Americans cited inflation as the nation's top problem, the highest level in its polling since 1985.
The focus on costs remains even when Americans are asked specifically about their priorities for possible health care legislation, the KFF poll finds. Most U.S. adults (61%) say it should be a priority for Congress to limit how much drug companies can raise prescription drug prices each year to no more than the rate of inflation. About half (53%) say Congress should make it a priority to cap out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35 monthly and to place a limit on out-of-pocket health care costs for seniors (52%).
Fewer, 42%, call it a priority to expand government-provided health insurance in states that have not expanded Medicaid access or to increase funding for access to mental health services and training for mental health providers. Only 25% say that providing more COVID-19 pandemic response funding should be a priority.
"The public's priorities in health reflect deep concern about prices of everything right now, including drug prices," KFF President and CEO Drew Altman said in a news release. "That doesn't mean other things that have long been popular do not have public support too; they do. It just means prices are the preeminent concern."
In their personal finances, most Americans express at least some worry about being able to afford gasoline or other transportation costs (71%) and unexpected medical bills (58%), with many concerned about paying for monthly utility bills (50%) and food (47%). In February 2020, just 40% worried about paying for gas, 38% about monthly utilities and 34% about food, KFF found.
Concerns are magnified for lower-income Americans. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans in households making less than $40,000 a year say they worry about affording as or transportation costs, with more than 6 in 10 also concerned about affording unexpected medical bills (66%), monthly utilities (65%), rent or mortgage payments (63%) and food (62%).
About half of Americans, 51%, say they've put off or gone without some form of medical service in the past year because of its costs.
Twelve years after its passage, the Affordable Care Act remains popular, the KFF poll finds, with 55% of the public viewing it favorably. About one-quarter, 24%, say the law has directly helped them and their family, with 20% saying it hurt them and the rest that it's had no direct effect.
Of those who say they've seen a positive personal impact, about half say the ACA mainly helped by letting someone in their family get or keep health coverage, with 30% saying the ACA mainly made it easier to get needed health care and 20% that it mainly lowered health care or health insurance costs.
Views of both the ACA and its effects are also sharply divided along partisan lines, with 43% of Democrats and just 7% of Republicans saying the ACA has helped them.
Among Americans under 65 who have private health insurance, 56% say they know nothing about the No Surprises Act, a law taking effect this year that protects people with private health insurance from getting large medical bills when they accidentally receive out-of-network health care. Only about 21% say they know even something about the legislation. | https://www.wmtw.com/article/americans-health-care-concerns/39593902 | 2022-04-01T01:35:03Z |
Detroit is a city known for producing many talents who go on to deeply impact and dominate whatever industry they choose to enter.
One such industry is the beauty industry. While Detroit may have carried the crown of the hair capital of the world, when it comes to matters of the face, Detroit makeup artists have quietly dominated for quite some time.
AJ Crimson was among makeup artists creating their own lanes and changing the scope of Black beauty long before Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok influencers were a thing.
But on March 30, Jessica Nabongo, travel influencer, a native Detroiter and close friend of Crimson's, announced the news of his death in an Instagram post.
Shortly after, several of Crimson's friends took to social media to share their own touching tributes, confirming the news for those in disbelief.
One of those friends was The Lip Bar founder and fellow Detroiter, Melissa Butler. According to Butler's post, she and Crimson met while representing their respective brands at trade shows. Eventually, the two would become neighbors deepening their friendship.
"During COVID me, him, and (Jessica Nabongo) kept each other sane. We ate together we drank together, and we gave each other our flower," Butler wrote in her Instagram tribute. "We were the perfect trio of hype men."
Crimson's big break in the beauty industry came while working on the set of the movie 8 Mile, which was partially filmed in Detroit.
"I met Mark Bridges, the costume designer [8 Mile], on the job, and I really attribute a lot of what that pivotal moment for me was to him because he really allowed me to help, give input and learn," Crimson told Beauty Independent in 2021. "When the movie wrapped, he said, 'What are you going to do?' I said, 'Maybe I will go to New York, and people have been talking about LA.”' I didn’t know, but I was on a trajectory to leave for New York. He said, 'You should come to LA, I have a spare room and the house is big enough. You have to get out of Detroit. You are bigger than what this city can offer you.'"
Crimson would go on to form career working with some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Hilary Duff, Lauren London, Angela Bassett, Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon, Regina King, Naturi Naughton, and others.
In 2012, he founded AJ Crimson Beauty, a cosmetic line created after he noticed he was having trouble stocking his makeup kit with products in a wide range of colors.
"I've worked with so many different types of girls over the years, from Fergie and Hillary Duff to Estelle and Brandy. I had noticed that I was carrying five different foundation kits with me to service each one of those girls," Crimson told Allure magazine in 2017. "I thought, Wow this is a lot of product to be carrying around all the time; I need something that can work for each girl so I don’t feel like I need a different formulation for each one."
Crimson's official cause of death and details of final arrangements have not been public at this time.

5 fetuses found in DC home after tip leads to shocking discovery, police say
WASHINGTON - Five fetuses were found in a D.C. home after a tip lead to the shocking discovery, according to authorities.
Download the FOX 5 DC News App for Local Breaking News and Weather
D.C. police said the fetuses were discovered on Wednesday in a home located in the 400 block of 6th Street SE, just blocks away from Capitol Hill.
Officers were called to the scene to investigate a tip about "potential bio-hazard materials" at the house, according to officials. The five fetuses were collected by the D.C. Chief Medical Examiner's Office as detectives continue their investigation.
MPD officials determined Wednesday that the fetuses were aborted in accordance with D.C. law, but they are still not sure where they came from.
There have been no arrests in connection with the discovery of the fetuses.
MPD confirms that the discovery of the fetuses happened on the same day that investigators were at the house arresting an anti-abortion activist, Lauren Handy, as part of a federal indictment.

According to court documents, Handy and eight other people are accused of trying to block patients from entering an abortion clinic in D.C. on October 22, 2020. The indictment also claims the group tried to threaten and intimidate both patients and employees of the clinic.
The indictment charged these people:
- Lauren Handy from Virginia
- Jonathan Darnel from Virginia
- Jay Smith (also known as Juanito Pichardo) from New York
- Paulette Harlow from Massachusetts
- Jean Marshall from Massachusetts
- John Hinshaw from New York
- Header Idoni from Michigan
- William Goodman from Wisconsin
- Joan Bell from New Jersey
The indictment alleges that on the day of the incident, Lauren Handy showed up to the clinic pretending to be a patient in need of reproductive health services. Once the clinic opened, Handy along with the 8 others named in the indictment, charged inside the clinic and blocked off two doors inside the waiting room. The indictment says Handy directed the group on what to do during the blockade.
The document also claims that the incident was live-streamed on Jonathan Darnel's Facebook page.
A group called the Progressive Anti-abortion Uprising said on Instagram that Handy is the group's director of activism. The group confirms that Handy was arrested Wednesday by the FBI, and has since been released.

Fox 5's David Kaplan reached out to Handy about the case, but she said she cannot publicly comment right now.
Fox 5 also made attempts to reach the Progressive Anti-abortion Uprising, but has not heard back.

Man pleads not guilty to firearms charges after gang shooting injures pregnant woman
A Santa Maria man pleaded not guilty to firearms charges last week after a 32-year-old pregnant woman was injured in a shooting between rival gangs near West Fesler Street and North Benwiley Avenue on March 12, according to records.
Irvin Yair Gabino-Perez, 18, of Santa Maria pleaded not guilty to two felony charges, including carrying a loaded firearm as the nonregistered owner and carrying a concealed firearm, after he was arraigned before Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Harry Elias on March 24.
Gabino-Perez is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing setting before Judge Patricia Kelly at 8:30 a.m. April 6 in Department 6 of Superior Court in Santa Maria.
Gabino-Perez was initially arrested by detectives March 22 following an investigation into the shooting that injured the pregnant woman on March 12, according to Santa Maria Police.
Santa Maria Police officials said the incident was reported at 8 p.m. when a man and his pregnant wife heard a single gunshot while stopped at an intersection nearby.
The pregnant woman, who was not identified, was struck by gunfire, then transported to a nearby hospital by her husband for treatment. The woman and her unborn child were both expected to recover from the injury, according to Santa Maria Police.
While the shooting was gang-related, Santa Maria Police officials said the woman and her husband have no known gang affiliation.
Detectives later determined that Gabino-Perez was involved in the shooting, and he was arrested on a warrant at 5 p.m. in the 4200 block of California Boulevard without incident, logs show.
Police officials believe more people are involved in the shooting and are asking anyone who may have information to contact Santa Maria Police Sgt. Andy Magallon at 805-928-3781, ext. 2164.
LOMPOC
18-year-old man arrested in connection to North H Street shooting death
An 18-year-old Lompoc man was arrested Wednesday after an investigation into the shooting death of a 37-year-old resident on North H Street in February, according to police officials.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 1000 block of North H Street shortly before 1 a.m. Feb. 19 and located Maurilio DeLaCruz, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, according to Lompoc Police Sgt. Sergio Arias.
Police and paramedics provided medical aid to DeLaCruz, who was transported to a local trauma center where he later died.
Through an investigation, detectives identified Jorge Tafoya Jr. as a suspect and issued a warrant for his arrest, according to officials.
Officials said detectives located Tafoya Jr. at a residence in the 1300 block of West Pine Avenue and he was taken into custody after negotiating a peaceful surrender.
Tafoya Jr. was booked into Lompoc Jail on suspicion of murder. A bail amount wasn't listed.

Following multiple acts of plagiarism and retractions from publishers, an Adventist scholar and retired pastor faces continued scrutiny for copying others’ work, sometimes word for word—problems dating back at least seven years.
Until earlier this month, Panayotis Coutsoumpos was relatively unknown in the academic world. He had written for Andrews University Seminary Studies, authored several books, and listed over 70 published papers on his Academia.edu profile, but none of his work appears to have garnered much attention. Then in March 2022, the Review of Biblical Literature, a publication from the Society of Biblical Literature, published a book review by Coutsoumpos and announced it in their newsletter.
Screenshot from the initial RBL email announcing the book review.
Jacob Cerone, a graduate student and teaching assistant at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in Germany, appears to have noticed the review bore a striking similarity to one of his own, published by a different journal in 2017 (Cerone did not respond to a request for comment for this story). Entire paragraphs were lifted from the original with only a word or two changed. Once the news was shared, other biblical scholars expressed their outrage on Twitter.
“This is not even subtle,” wrote Robyn Whitaker, a professor of New Testament at Pilgrim Theological College. “I’ve seen students try and cover up plagiarism better than this.”
The first paragraph of Cerone’s 2017 review in the journal Filología Neotestamentaria (top) compared with Coutsoumpos’s 2022 review (bottom). The remaining paragraphs follow a similar pattern.
Multiple scholars said they had complained to the Society of Biblical Literature about the review, and soon SBL removed it from its website and announced its retraction via email.
When reached for comment, Bob Buller, director of SBL Press, said in an email that the review had been retracted the day after it was published. “As SBL Press explained in a subsequent email to its subscribers, SBL took that action because the review ‘was determined to have been plagiarized,’ ” he said. Buller added that SBL has no comment about further instances of plagiarism by Coutsoumpos but that “if RBL discovers that any review we have published has been plagiarized, SBL will remove that review from RBL/SBL Central regardless of who submitted it.”
While the case was quickly dealt with, scholars began taking a closer look at other work from Coutsoumpos. It wouldn’t take long for them to spot more problems.
* * *
After the plagiarism and retraction by SBL, Cousoumpos deleted all of the content from his Academia.edu profile, a website that allows scholars to share their work. In its place, he posted a one-page letter, in which he claimed to have been advised to cease “all avenues of communication” because of a stroke suffered in May 2021.
“I apologize for all the wrongdoings and unethical action (because the pressure of time and also unwise and no prudent [sic] decisions) from my part and the inconveniences this may cost to the academic world,” he wrote. Yet he also went on to make veiled threats to those discussing his work: “I hope that all unnecessary comments that are out there could come to an end (this could implicate some legal actions).” After leaving the letter up for several days, Coutsoumpos deleted it as well and removed his name from the website profile. He also deleted his LinkedIn account.
According to biographical information published online, Coutsoumpos was born in Panama to a Greek father and a Panamanian mother and has lived and worked in several countries. His Academia.edu and LinkedIn profiles stated that he has an MA in religion from Andrews University and a PhD from the University of Sheffield in England. Most recently, Chesapeake Conference confirmed that he was employed as a pastor for several Seventh-day Adventist congregations from 2011–2019.
Over the years, he has also described himself as an adjunct professor of biblical and New Testament studies at Montemorelos University, the flagship institution of Adventist higher education in Mexico. Montemorelos University did not respond to multiple requests for comment about Coutsoumpos’s ties to the school and there is no record on the institution’s website about him teaching there. A 2009 publication from Montemorelos records Coutsoumpos visiting as a guest speaker for an event, describing him as a pastor from Baltimore, Maryland. In 2019, he gave a sermon at Montemorelos and described himself as a pastor of two churches.
When reached by phone for comment, Coutsoumpos said that he was aware of the plagiarism allegations but refused to answer further questions on the record.
Although Coutsoumpos has claimed he’s reached out to victims of his plagiarism, at least one scholar had not heard anything from Coutsoumpos—and didn't even know that his work had been stolen at all.
Phillip J. Long is a professor of biblical studies at Grace Christian University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is active in biblical scholarship circles and follows Jacob Cerone on Twitter, where he saw some of the discussion about the initial plagiarism case. But Long didn’t know a book review of his own had also been copied until he was contacted by Spectrum.
“This is the first time I’ve heard of anybody plagiarizing a book review,” Long said when reached by phone, adding that academic fraud is a rare occurrence. “Occasionally you’ll hear of a scholar that didn’t footnote thoroughly in their commentary. . . .This is just bizarre that somebody would plagiarize a book review.”
Long said that he’s been blogging for 12 years and publishes seven or eight reviews a month on his website, readingacts.com. In 2019, he reviewed the book Romans by Frank Thielman but didn’t think more of it—it was one more review among many. Unknown to him, in 2021 Coutsoumpos published a review of Romans in the Biblical Theology Bulletin, a journal from SAGE Publishing. The entirety, save for a few sentences, is copied from Long’s website.
“I guess to a certain extent I’m flattered, but not in a good way,” Long said. The only other problems with plagiarism that he’s encountered in his career have either been with student papers or clickbait websites copying pages from his site.
“A book review is not prestigious,” Long said, puzzled about the motivations to steal one. “It looks like he went out of his way to cheat, and for really little gain.”
SAGE Publishing did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.
Tom de Bruin, a biblical scholar and former senior lecturer at Newbold College, watched the controversy unfold, also surprised by the situation. “I was rather shocked, to say the least, when I saw the collection of plagiarized works by Coutsoumpos grow and grow on Twitter,” he said in an email. “Plagiarism by academics is quite rare, and I can only think of one other high profile case like this in recent years (Andreas Köstenberger), and that one was nowhere near as extensive.”
In addition to the reviews by Jacob Cerone and Phillip Long, a review Coutsoumpos published in the Andrews University Seminary Studies journal in 2015 is copied from a review by Andrew J.W. Smith in Towers, a publication from the Southern Seminary (Smith did not respond to a request for comment).
A 2017 article by Coutsoumpos in the journal Biblica also contains sections that appear copied from an earlier paper.
Decided to scroll through the plagiarist's articles and saw one I was like 90% sure I had read before. Sure enough, lol. On the left the original from Pendrick in NTS (1995). On the right Coutsoumpos in Biblica (2017). The absolute cheek of adding in "Two decades ago" !-- pic.twitter.com/SW0WNgd4tR
— J. Bailey, Ph.D. dba Barnabas Hater (@NTECProf) March 15, 2022
In a story from The Roys Report on March 30, Logan Williams, a scholar of early Judaism and Cristianity, suggested that Coutsoumpos’s PhD thesis from 1996 should be examined, as “no one goes and submits a plagiarized RBL review 20 years after that PhD thesis if they’ve never plagiarized before.”
Questions also remain about Coutsoumpos’s books, which have been distributed by Wipf and Stock, a publisher specializing in religious scholarship. Jim Tedrick, CEO and director of publications, said in an email that Coutsoumpos’s six books came through the publisher’s Reprint Department and not the Editorial Department, making them essentially self-published. “It is rare for us to come across a case of plagiarism, especially in books that have been previously published and in circulation for years,” Tedrick said. “I think what makes Coutsoumpos’s case more problematic is that these works were basically self-published by him under his own publishing imprint called [the] Biblical Studies Institute.” Tedrick said that Wipf and Stock had taken the books out of print immediately.
“We did hear briefly from Coutsoumpos after we notified him of the cancellation of his books,” Tedrick said, sharing that Coutsoumpos “expressed regret for his ‘unethical action.’ ”
* * *
While there are systems for maintaining integrity within academic publishing, Coutsoumpos’s case shows how problems can go unnoticed for years. In the end, much of the system is built on trust, though that might be changing. “For students, almost all universities do plagiarism checks by default,” said Tom de Bruin, “and in recent years, publishers are increasingly doing these checks as well. While this is a high profile case in New Testament [studies], I understand that it is not infrequent within academia in other fields.”
On March 22, Coutsoumpos tweeted from his personal account: “Making mistakes and errors are part of the fallen human character but forgiving them is God’s character. Thank God for His mercy and forgiveness since all of us, without exception, make mistakes.”
Forgiveness from the academic community might not come so easily.

Murphey family releases statement as RaDonda Vaught verdict bursts into Nashville DA race
A week after a former Nashville nurse was convicted in the death of a patient, the uproar over the fallout has spilled into the upcoming district attorney race.
The patient's family called comments by some candidate candidates "humiliating" and "degrading," and says the ongoing national debate over the case has "retraumatized" her family, according to a statement released by District Attorney Glenn Funk's office.
Charlene Murphey, 75, died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Dec. 27, 2017, after being injected with the wrong drug. Murphey was supposed to receive a dose of Versed, a sedative, but was instead injected with vecuronium, which left her unable to breathe, prosecutors have said.
The verdict: Ex-nurse RaDonda Vaught found guilty on two charges in death of patient
RaDonda Vaught 38, was found guilty Friday of two charges, criminally negligent homicide and abuse of an impaired adult, for her failure to catch the mistake at several points before Murphey was injected. Vaught was also slammed for leaving Murphey with scan technicians and not personally monitoring her vitals after giving the medication.
Vaught took responsibility for her actions immediately after and in each interview about the circumstances. Prosecutors agreed there was no evidence she intended to kill Murphey.
RaDonda Vaught: Key players in the case against former Nashville nurse
Vaught: RaDonda Vaught: The former Nashville nurse faces years in prison after conviction
The case has ignited debate among the medical community.
Some worry the decision to try the case in criminal court, instead of by professional regulatory boards, could make people fearful of reporting mistakes and down the road lead to issues with patient safety if broken systems aren't caught.
Funk, the incumbent Democratic DA who is seeking reelection, insists that interpretation is baseless.
"When the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation brought this case to me, I found out this was not about one mistake," Funk wrote in a statement released Thursday afternoon.
In the hours after the verdict, candidate Sara Beth Myers issued a statement calling Vaught's actions "civil medical malpractice" that should not have been handled in criminal court.
"The DA's decision to charge this nurse is just one more example of how his misjudgments continue to make our community more divided and less safe. It's time for change," she wrote Friday. The statement was included in a fundraising pitch on social media and on her website.
Funk fired back on Thursday.
"My opponents have taken the side of the person convicted by a jury in this case. As your District Attorney, I take the side of the victim Charlene Murphey and her family," he wrote.
In the first formal statement since the trial, Murphey's daughter-in-law Chandra Murphey echoed his sentiments.
"We thought we had closure. We may never get over the reaction to this verdict," she wrote. "Our mother, Charlene Murphey, was a caring and loving person. Those using her death for personal gain should be ashamed."
The family's statement did not name Myers or fellow Democratic candidate P. Danielle Nellis directly.
Myers, through a spokesperson, on Thursday stood by her initial statement.
Nellis released a statement on the verdict Wednesday and deferred most questions to it when reached by phone Thursday.
She told The Tennessean her opponents were both making the same misstep.
"The statement to categorically bar prosecution in any category of cases is the same as the incumbent making statements blocking bathroom bills and mask mandates," Nellis told The Tennessean. "Just because it is the right statement, it still really diminishes the public trust in the office."
In her statement Wednesday she offered her condolences to the Murphey family and a reminder that public trust in juries was vital.
She also slammed Funk for choosing to take Vaught's case to a jury while accepting plea deals in other high profile cases.
“The incumbent has shown us repeatedly that his choice to charge or not charge an individual in high-profile cases cannot be trusted," she wrote. "The incumbent’s decision-making continues to erode the public trust in a system fraught with its own issues."
Vaught's attorney Peter Strianse told The Tennessean on Friday that his client was uninterested in any plea discussions that arose throughout the case.
Nellis agreed with her opponent Myers that the case should have been handled in civil court.
In his statement released Thursday, Funk hinted he believed civil or regulatory avenues were insufficient.
Vaught was investigated by the nursing licensing board in the months after Murphey's death and was not at the time recommended to lose her license or be suspended.
But nearly a year after the event, an anonymous tip, a surprise inspection and state and federal investigations led to threatened sanctions for VUMC and a a criminal indictment for Vaught. After going before the nursing board last year, Vaught was stripped of her license.
"Now, with this conviction she can never get her license back. That is the outcome Charlene Murphey's family wanted. They wanted justice for Charlene Murphey and that is what our office achieved for them," Funk wrote.
The candidates are seeking the Democratic nomination in the May 3 primary. Early voting runs April 13-28. There are no Republican candidates, all but assuring the winner of the primary will win in the Aug. 4 general election.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
“They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment," Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.”
But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea.
“He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. "And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.”
The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night's ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer's interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned.
The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television."
Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so.
Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary.
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18.
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.”

(ABC4) – If you’re tired of looking at old furniture that you bought last year from IKEA, the retailer has announced that it will now pay customers to bring back old furniture.
The IKEA buyback and resell option has now been made available for 37 of its U.S. stores. As a way to help pave a path toward sustainable living, the company has brought back the initiative that was launched late last year.
How does it work?
You start by filling out a form on IKEA’s website in order to receive an emailed quote of the buyback value for your furniture. Customers are asked to bring a copy of their quote, buyback number, and fully assembled furniture to your participating IKEA store where an employee will assess the furniture’s buyback value.
When you buyback, you will get store credit and your furniture gets a second life in the As-Is department.
What are the buyback requirements?
According to IKEA, the following categories of products are not currently eligible for the furniture buy-back service:
- Non-IKEA products
- Home furnishing accessories including lighting and textiles
- Add-on units and componentry
- Products that have been used outside including outdoor furniture
- Mattresses and bad textiles (such as blankets and mattress toppers)
- Kitchens including bench tops, cabinets, and fronts
- Modular wardrobes and accessories
- Electrical appliances and products
- Chests of drawers
- “Hacked,” modified or painted products
- Non-assembled products
- Market Hall products (including small kitchen goods, art, rugs, and picture frames)
- Upholstered or leather products
- Sofas or armchairs
- Plants
- Items containing glass (including mirrors)
- Children’s and baby products (such as cribs, mattresses, and change tables)
- Beds and bed frames
The retailer said on its website that large quantities and commercially used items are exempt. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ikea-will-pay-you-to-return-old-furniture-at-select-stores/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:06Z |

I’m not saying goodbye yet. Blake Moines has weighed in on a potential return to The Bachelor franchise—and it looks like it’s not entirely out of the question.
On Tuesday, March 29, during a Q&A in an Instagram story, 31-year-old Blake answered a question about appearing on the reality show again, joking: “Yes, paradise! Count it! I can’t wait to get to this beach, come back to it.”
The Canadian native added: “Maybe not, never say never, but only if it was a great opportunity for something, but I wouldn’t want to.”
Blake made his debut in The Bachelor franchise in 2020 when he appeared in the season of The Bachelor by Claire Crowley and Taisha Adams. A year later, the wildlife manager tried his luck with Rose again during Katie Thurston’s season.
31-year-old Katie and Blake formed a bond during season 17, which ended with a proposal during the finale in August 2021. However, two months after the episode aired, they announced their decision to cancel the engagement.
“Thanks to mutual love and respect, we decided to go our separate ways. We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and for the whole journey that unfolded this year, but in the end we came to the conclusion that we are incompatible as life partners, and it is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently. Katie and Blake signed their identical Instagram posts in October 2021. “We ask for kindness and privacy as we are both going through this transition. We will both always wish the best for each other and ask you to support us in our decision.”
“I really don’t think there was any physical infidelity, but [there was] clearly an emotional [infidelity] to make it go as fast as it did. I feel stupid and stupid for letting this happen to some extent,” he shared during an episode of the podcast “Talking It Out With Bachelor Nation” in November 2021.
For Blake, the relationship status of his ex-fiancee would not have been so upsetting if he had received a warning in advance. “I just thought she could at least tell me on the side just because we had very cordial and light conversations via text messages [after the breakup]. Why not reach out to me and tell me that? There’s a bit of disrespect here,” he added.
The bank’s former marketing manager, for her part, later admitted that it was “disappointing” to hear Blake’s comments about her personal life.
“We both knew that our relationship wasn’t working out. My relationship with Blake was a completely separate situation [from] my relationship with John,” she told Caitlin Bristow during a joint interview with John on the “Off the Vine” podcast on Tuesday, March 29. “There were no coincidences. There was nothing but respect. It’s just two different situations.”
John also noted that he was present during Katie’s relationship with Blake as a close friend.
“I saw how much effort she put into this relationship while it was falling apart. And what really made me angry about it, for example, when I listened to this podcast, was that they started to draw a narrative in it, that she didn’t make an effort, and Blake was the only one who made an effort at the end,” he said on Tuesday. “And moreover, at the time when she was “absent”, she somehow emotionally cheated on me. …It just made me angry.” | https://www.somagnews.com/blake-moines-would-never-say-never-to-bachelor-in-paradise-after-katie-thurston-broke-up-i-cant-wait-to-get-to-this-beach/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:06Z |

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital has announced a new chair for its board of directors and a new member of the board.
Chris Luechtefeld was confirmed as Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital board chair at the board’s March meeting. Luechtefeld replaces Mark Chamberlain, who has served as chair since March 2020 and will continue to serve on the board of directors. Luechtefeld, a longtime resident of Valencia and 20-year volunteer with the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Foundation, has been a Hospital Board member since 2015, where he serves as chair of the Finance Committee. He has over 20 years of experience in the financial industry, and is currently executive director, Portfolio Management director, and wealth advisor at Morgan Stanley in Valencia.

Water contaminant linked to infant brain damage won't be regulated by EPA
WASHINGTON - Upholding a Trump-era environmental policy, the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday it will not regulate a drinking water contaminant that has been linked to brain damage in infants.
The agency said the Trump administration's decision in 2020 not to regulate perchlorate in drinking water was made with the "best available peer reviewed science." The chemical is used in rocket fuel and fireworks.
At the time, Trump's EPA said perchlorate was not found widely enough in drinking water or "at levels of public health concern" to warrant federal regulation. The decision was one of many Trump-era rollbacks or eliminations of existing or pending public health and environmental protections. The Biden administration ordered a review of that decision at the start of his term.
EPA Assistant Administrator Radhika Fox said the agency was "applying the right tools to support public health protections."
Environmental groups slammed the Biden administration’s decision.
"The Trump EPA gave perchlorate a pass; it was a bad decision then, and it’s a bad decision now," said Erik Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council advocacy group. "Tap water across America will remain contaminated by this toxic chemical."
Perchlorate from runoff contaminates the drinking water of as many as 16 million Americans, the Obama administration said in 2011 when it announced the EPA would for the first time set maximum limits for the chemical compound. It has been used in the U.S. for decades, particularly by the military and defense industries, and is commonly found in munitions, fireworks, matches and signal flares.
Exposure to the compound can damage the development of fetuses and children and cause measurable drops in IQ in newborns, the American Academy of Pediatrics said in 2019, when it called for stringent federal limits. It damages human development by disrupting the functioning of the thyroid gland.
In its 2020 review, the EPA said state-level regulations and cleanup activities at contaminated sites had lowered the health risks posed by the compound. Massachusetts and California, for example, limit perchlorate in drinking water to 2 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion, respectively.
"But the problem is that for the rest of the country the states have not set standards," said Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
In the Southwest, perchlorate has been detected in groundwater that entered Lake Mead in Nevada. Manufacturing activities in Henderson, Nevada, were thought to be the source of the chemical. The EPA said cleanup activities at two industrial sites near Las Vegas between 2002 and 2006 resulted in reduced levels of perchlorate in samples provided since then by Nevada environmental and water agencies.
The EPA said Thursday it was considering other steps besides a federal drinking water limit, such as setting standards at open burning and detonation sites of waste explosives, where severe perchlorate contamination is known to exist.
But environmental advocates said such measures fall short of what's needed.
"Simply put, toxic chemicals used in rocket fuel do not belong in our drinking water," said John Rumpler, senior attorney with Environment America.

Community members recently laced up their sneakers and took to the Santa Ynez Valley roads for a 16-mile March for Meals hike supporting the Buellton Senior Center's campaign to call attention to hunger in the Valley.
Each year, March for Meals is celebrated across the nation to commemorate March 1972, when President Nixon signed into law an amendment to the Older Americans Act of 1965 to include a national nutrition program for those age 60 and older. This year, the national program turned 50.
While the event brought in $7,000 in profit for the Buellton center, the ultimate goal was to bring a greater awareness to the needs of local seniors and their reliance on the Meals on Wheel program, according to Pam Gnekow, Buellton Senior Center executive director.
The Buellton Senior Center, which benefits from funding via the Meals on Wheels of America senior nutrition program each year, supports 625 seniors who reside in Buellton, Los Alamos and the greater areas of the Santa Ynez Valley. The center feeds local seniors through its daily Meals on Wheels delivery program, on-site farmers market and other senior-focused services. By year's end, that number is expected to grow to 1,000, Gnekow said.
With financial aid from Meals on Wheels of America, feeding a growing number of seniors in the Santa Ynez Valley is made possible. Without that funding, it's a real challenge, she said.
The Buellton City Council voted Thursday to come to the aid of the city's cash-strapped senior center by advancing $70,000 in annually-budgeted funds to the nonprofit in March rather than in July, after two major grants it had expected fell through.
This year, the center was left in a financial bind after Meals on Wheels of America changed its funding model to focus on urban communities — turning away from rural areas — to address an increase in senior homelessness in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We completely understand, but while there a more funding options in larger cities, in rural towns there are very few," Gnekow said. "I want to show them that there are people here who can’t survive without us."
The national program before this year provided vital annual funding to the Buellton center — $20,000 to $25,000 — to help feed its seniors. The program even provided $70,000 in funding during the first year of the pandemic which allowed the center to expand its reach, Gnekow said.
However, in 2022, funding never came.
"By the end of the year, we will have served 100,000 meals," she added. "We counted on that money to help us maintain that."
On your marks
To spread the message, a group of 30 on March 17 gathered at the Buellton Library and marched east for nearly 16 miles, first making a stop at Solvang Park, then Holy Grounds Coffee Shop located at Santa Ynez Valley Presbyterian Church and Summerset Farm in Santa Ynez. The group visited Dennee's of Santa Ynez before finally landing at the Maverick Saloon in Santa Ynez at 4 p.m. — in time for dinner and happy hour.
"This year, we wanted to have a little bit more fun so we went over to the Maverick," Gnekow noted. "It was perfect weather. Everybody that walked stayed safe. We laughed and we talked."
The group arrived to a crowd of over 100 seniors and local officials that included Jamie Diggs, agency services coordinator at Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, 3rd District Supervisor Joan Hartmann and Hayley Firestone, Santa Ynez Valley Foundation board president. Local band Bill Agin and Territorial Law kept the crowd dancing and singing, Gnekow said, noting that the entertainment was a generous donation much like the venue.
"We had over 100 seniors at the Maverick," Gnekow said. "We got there, and the party got started."
Compared to the 2021 march where two walkers participated, Gnekow said by the looks of this year's participation, the event might continue to drum up community support.
"I think it’s going to grow next year," she said. "The whole day couldn’t have been better."

NOTE: This column first appeared in The Meridian Star on August 25,1994. It’s nearly 28 years later but I’m still a Braves fan, and despite frustrations with both players and owners when it comes to lockouts and walkouts, my love for baseball only grows.
The words of Milo Hamilton faded in and out …
“Hank Aaron at the plate, two balls and a strike on the Hammer. Here’s the pitch. It’s a long drive to left field. It’s going, going gone. It’s Bombs Away in Atlanta G.A.”
Between the static on the old cabinet-style stereo, and me jumping all over the room ecstatic that the Braves had cut their opponents lead down to only seven runs, my mother would tap on my door and say, “Son, don’t you think it’s time to go to bed.”
I would reply, “Yes Mom,” and then proceed to cut off the lights, put my pillow at the end of my bed — only inches from the stereo — and cut the radio down to where I could barely hear WDB out of Atlanta and my beloved Braves.
Those were the days when baseball was real, the Braves were trying not to lose 100 game during the season, and little boys everywhere listed to their favorite teams on the radio.
Other than the playoffs and the World Series, the only baseball on TV most of us saw was the “Game of the Week” on Saturday.
Most kids these days probably don’t even know who Joe Garagiola is, but those of us who watched the games on Saturday and then again on Monday night, knew him as the master of the pregame show.
That’s back when baseball needed us.
I have lived and died with the Atlanta Braves since 1969. They were in the playoffs that year. They made it again in 1982 and of course won three consecutive NL West Division titles beginning in 1991.
This year, if the baseball season were to be over, the Braves would again qualify for the playoffs, thanks to the new wildcard format. And don’t say they don’t deserve it, they do have the third best record in all of Major League Baseball.
But, alas, it really might not matter.
As of today Major League Baseball is in its 14th day of the strike. I’m one of the ignorant who thought it would only last a week or so.
My reasoning for that was pretty simple. Surely the powers that be in baseball realized that college and pro football is upon us, and that if they stretch this thing out too long the fans will just move on to another sport.
There are some diehard baseball fans out there, but most sports fans these days imply follow the season and in the South you must remember the famous quote from former Alcorn State Football Coach Marino Casem, that “In the South, football is a religion.”
I have to admit that if the strike ended today, I would be turned in the next Braves game that came on the air.
However, all of Major League Baseball can take this warning to heart - If they take away my World Series, they can kiss my big hiney.
Baseball without a World Series is like apple pie without apples or Oreo cookies without the creamy filling in the middle.
I will all always have my memories of the past, and will always love baseball.
There are still some folks playing it for fun that I can go and watch for a few bucks, so I will not give up on the game.
But when Ken Griffey Jr. shows up on my doorstep selling encyclopedias next year II’ll just tell him “no thanks, you have have already taught me more about ‘real life’ than I ever wanted to know.

No jail for LA building owner over explosion that hurt 12
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The owner of a downtown Los Angeles building where an explosion injured 12 firefighters has been allowed to enter a judicial diversion program that allows him to avoid jail time and potentially have all charges dismissed.
A court commissioner on Wednesday granted the diversion request for Steve Sungho Lee. He and his companies must pay more than $15,000 in investigative fees, make sure the property meets fire and building codes and arranging for Fire Department training.
Lee owned a commercial building on East Boyd Street in the city's Toy District that caught fire on May 16, 2020. Firefighters had to run for their lives when a ball of flames shot out the building and scorched a fire truck across the street.
Firefighters inside the building had to run through a wall of flames he estimated as 30 feet (9 meters) high and wide, and those on the roof scrambled down a ladder that was engulfed in fire.
Fire officials said the building was a warehouse for Smoke Tokes, a wholesale distributor of supplies for smoking and vaping products including butane hash oil, a concentrated cannabis extract that can be eaten, smoked or vaped. Highly flammable butane is used in the manufacturing process.
Most of the injured firefighters still haven't returned to work and one, Capt. Victor Aguirre, was hospitalized for more than two months and all of his fingers had to be partially amputated, according to a lawsuit he filed against the building and business owners.
Aguirre alleged that the area contained “hundreds of illegally and improperly stored butane canisters and thousands of illegally and improperly stored nitrous oxide cylinders.”
A fire department report concluded that the blaze, which spread to a nearby building, was fueled by an “excessive quantity” of the containers.
Investigators from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives concluded that the fire started under a storage rack in the building and that a worker with a lit cigarette was seen in the area. The cause of the fire was ruled accidental.
However, city prosecutors filed more than 300 misdemeanor charges of violating fire and safety codes against Lee, his companies and owners of businesses in the building and nearby properties. That included more than 160 counts against Lee and his companies.
If Lee meets all conditions of his judicial diversion program for two years, the charges will be dismissed.
“Mr. Lee will be deemed by law to have never been charged," said his attorney, Blair Berk. “The exhaustive federal investigation of the tragic fire objectively concluded that the cause was accidental, and there was no finding of any wrongdoing by Mr. Lee or his companies.”
City Attorney Mike Feuer opposed diversion for Lee, noting the severity of the fire, the injuries suffered by the firefighters and Lee's alleged failure “to take steps which could have mitigated the extent of the blaze."
The owners of Smoke Tokes and another business, Green Buddha, agreed in November 2020 to pay $139,000 each to cover investigative costs and to move out of the building. Charges against them were later dismissed.

This story has been updated to correct that Lee and his companies must pay more than $15,000, not $125,000. | https://news.yahoo.com/no-jail-la-building-owner-001904012.html | 2022-04-01T01:35:11Z |

SILVER CREEK, N.Y. (WIVB) – Children from kindergarten to second grade were locked in what’s been described as an “isolation room” at an elementary school outside Buffalo, New York, a district administrator wrote in a letter to the school board earlier this week.
The letter states that at least five students at Silver Creek Elementary School, including a kindergartner, have been “inhumanely and illegally locked or barricaded in an isolation cell.”
“I have been fighting all year to keep children out of the isolation cell,” wrote Jay Hall, the assistant director of elementary programming on Monday.
Hall described the room as a “cold, cinder block jail-like cell,” and said, “It should never, even for one second, be used in any capacity to redirect or punish any child at any time.”
“Children as young as 5 years old are being blockaded and locked in the isolation cell, kicking the door, pounding on glass with their fists, banging their heads, crying profusely, pleading to be freed, all with complicit staff members standing by and watching,” Hall said.
Parents got wind of the letter and started posting complaints on Facebook this week. “You better pray we never find out that our son has ever been put in one of these so called cells!!” wrote one parent.
On Wednesday, the school district issued a statement, saying in part:
“The District is aware that this morning there were concerns raised on social media pertaining to our Elementary School. The District’s most important priority is the safety and security of all District students and staff. We take any concerns and allegations regarding student safety and their wellbeing as the top priority.”
The district said a law firm, which also acts as counsel for the school board, is investigating the allegations. Superintendent Todd A. Crandall said he hopes to have a report by the end of the week.
Kerry Vasquezmarte, a district parent, said the concerns aren’t new. She said her special-needs daughter was locked in a room several times as a pre-K student at the elementary school. She said a classmate witnessed her daughter being dragged by her arms through a hallway.
Vasquezmarte said her daughter cried when she confronted her about the incident and still has nightmares. She said she met with a teacher and Superintendent Crandall over a year ago to discuss the isolation techniques.
“And all he did was blame my child during the meeting,” Vasquezmarte said. “And I said numerous times to get my child, I was taking her home, she’s not being locked in a room. It took me threatening him for him to finally radio down to wherever to retrieve my kid.”
Vasquezmarte said she eventually pulled her child out of pre-K and homeschooled her during the kindergarten year. Her daughter is back at the elementary school for first grade with a “fantastic” teacher, Vasquezmarte said.
“I was only made aware of any concern on Friday, March 18,” Crandall said. “I can’t comment on something from years ago.”
Crandall said the law firm had an attorney on site Wednesday to conduct interviews. The attorney was also on school district property Thursday.
“We are not about hiding anything or trying to cover up anything,” Crandall said. “Student and staff safety is paramount, and we look forward to hearing the results so that if need be we can address any protocol or procedures as needed.”
The New York State Department of Education says it could not confirm or deny that the state was looking into these claims. The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office said it is not investigating the claims at the school because no one has made a formal complaint. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/videos/elementary-students-locked-in-isolation-room-as-discipline-administrator-says/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:12Z |

Oscars producer says police offered to arrest Will Smith
Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
Related video above: Chris Rock gets warm welcome from Boston crowd during first show post-Oscars slap
"They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment," Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to "Good Morning America." "They said 'we will go get him. We are prepared. We're prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him.' They were laying out the options."
But Packer said Rock was "very dismissive" of the idea.
"He was like, 'No, no, no, I'm fine,'" Packer said. "And even to the point where I said, 'Rock, let them finish.' The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, 'Would you like us to take any action?' And he said no."
The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night's ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined to comment Thursday on Packer's interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group's standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned.
The academy said in a statement that "Mr. Smith's actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television."
Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so.
Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary.
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying "I was out of line and I was wrong."
The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18.
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said "I'm still kind of processing what happened." | https://www.wmtw.com/article/oscars-producer-police-offered-arrest-will-smith/39603725 | 2022-04-01T01:35:13Z |
CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – After the Myers Park High School football team was forced to forfeit the 2021-22 season over players not officially living in the district, QCN is finally hearing from the parents who sponsored the athletes who played in last year’s games.
Sources told Queen City News that Steven and Carla Lenhoff were the two who recruited football players from across the country and are to blame for the scandal.
When a Queen City News crew approached Steven Lenhoff on Wednesday and asked for comment, he immediately kicked the crew off his property and didn’t answer any questions.
But in an about-face, on Thursday, both Lenhoffs talked exclusively to Queen City News off-camera. They were very open, they were very frank about the situation. They tell us they signed all of their paperwork and they did their due diligence.
Their biggest ‘hang up,’ and what bothers them the most, is that no one from NCHSAA, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, or Myers Park reached out to them to ask questions or figure out what was happening.
Steven: “No one talked to us.”
Carla: “NO!”
Steven: “No one wanted to find out. But everyone loves rumor. No one talked to us. Nobody. Nobody tried to find out…”
Carla: “I literally talked…I literally don’t even think I said two words to the principal.”
Steven: “No, no one asked. We would have talked to [them], we told them everything, you know, and at the end of the day…”
Carla: “But, but what’s so crazy is is that we’ve been here for two years.”
Steven: “We haven’t been hiding anything…you saw us, you seen tonight, we’re not… everyone knows, people in the stands would come up to me and shake my hand and said, ‘appreciate you for what you do for these kids.'”
They said they initially declined to comment because they had no idea any of these infractions had to do with their kids and didn’t want to talk about other kids.
“It’s my understanding that…when the parents turned in the stuff it was approved. They had an address within the district, a legitimate address within the district, and you know, the parents were guardians as best as they were possibly able to. And we just filled in the gap,” said Steven Lenhoff.
The Lenhoff’s say this was not about football, football was the common denominator between their son Lucas and the kids they brought with them to Charlotte. But the driving factor, according to them, was just to help kids without a family.

“You know, for Carla and myself, we’ll do this a thousand times over, I wish we could have had a hundred kids we could have helped. There’s only so much we could do,” said Steven Lenhoff.
PaParents of football players Queen City News spoke with off-camera said, it was common knowledge that some of the players weren’t from North Carolina. One student told Queen City News that it was something everyone knew about. | https://www.fox46.com/charlotte/myers-park/parents-at-center-of-myers-park-football-scandal-say-no-one-talked-to-them-say-they-did-nothing-wrong/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:13Z |
The shooting happened at 4:15 p.m. Thursday on Marcus Avenue in New Hyde Park.

Bruce Willis is being showered with love and support after being diagnosed with aphasia. Some of the 67-year-old actor's closest colleagues and friends -- from Haley Joel Osment, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sylvester Stallone to John Travolta, Lucy Liu and Maria Shriver -- posted touching tributes and throwback photos wishing him the best following his long and successful career in Hollywood.
Osment, the former child star who appeared opposite Willis in the 1999 thriller The Sixth Sense, said he struggled to find the right words for someone he's looked up to for so long, before paying homage to the actor on Instagram.
"He's a true legend who has enriched all of our lives with a singular career that spans nearly half a century," Osment wrote in part. "I am so grateful for what I got to witness firsthand, and for the enormous body of work he built for us to enjoy for years and years to come. I just wanted to express the respect and deep admiration I have for Bruce and his family as they move forward with the courage and high spirits that have always defined them."
M. Night Shyamalan, who directed The Sixth Sense, took to Twitter to send Willis "all my love and respect." He added, "I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength. He will always be that hero on that poster on my wall as [a] kid."
Hopkins on Instagram wrote, "Working with you was a special time in my life. My love and prayers are with you and your family."
Travolta shared, "Bruce and I became good friends when we shared 2 of our biggest hits together, Pulp Fiction and Look Who’s Talking. Years later he said to me, 'John, I just want you to know that when something good happens to you I feel like it’s happening to me.' That’s how generous a soul he is. I love you Bruce."
Sarah Paulson, who starred alongside Willis in Glass, commented on Rumer Willis' Instagram post, saying, "He was such an incredible acting partner to me, and is the loveliest, most gentle and hilarious man. He reigns supreme in my book."
Willis' wife, Emma, ex-wife, Demi Moore, and daughters, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn, shared a joint statement on his recent diagnosis with aphasia.
"As a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities," the statement read. "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him."
The family added, "This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him."

Although the story of the Netflix drama Bridgerton is fictional, the truth is that some details of this series are inspired by real life. That is why the subscribers of said platform affirm that an unfortunate tragedy is coming with one of the important characters.
Everything indicates that a new tragedy is approaching the life of Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) in Bridgerton, the surprising thing is that this story happened in real life. Although most of the characters in this drama are fictitious, the truth is that both the queen and her husband, King George III, are inspired by the real-life monarchs that existed during the era of the Regency.
That is why, if Bridgerton decides to follow the real course of what happened, the fictional version of Queen Charlotte could face a tragedy sooner or later in the series. As is well known, within this program, the debuts of the young women take place in front of this powerful woman.
In the second season, we saw Queen Charlotte choose Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), drawing the attention of the most eligible bachelors. Despite her great and important presence, the truth is that this woman’s personal life faces a personal dilemma because of her husband, who suffers from mental illness.
Historians suggest it was probably bipolar disorder or a porphyrian blood disorder, which kept him isolated in the castle, away from everyone, including Queen Charlotte. Throughout Bridgerton, the story of the king’s mental deterioration has been in focus, so possibly the next thing to see on the screens could be the death of Queen Charlotte.
The second season of Bridgerton, goes back to the year 1814, the curious thing is that, in real life, four years later, that is, in 1818, Queen Charlotte dies at the age of 74 years. Although this Netflix series has not been very involved with the queen’s children so far, the truth is that she had 15 in total. Only 13 survived to adulthood.
However, considering that Bridgerton has a few more seasons left to be broadcast on the screens, it remains to be seen if the Netflix production will handle the death of this important character or if it will decide to broadcast a fictional story. | https://www.somagnews.com/bridgerton-know-the-true-and-tragic-story-behind-the-netflix-series/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:13Z |

Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest superhero is not, in the conventional sense, either "super" or a "hero," but he does have an unorthodox ailment and a weird skill-set to separate him from mere mortals. His name is Morbius, and while watching his origin story, you may get the feeling that somewhere in the cinematic multiverse, wires got crossed.
The film begins with a helicopter, transporting a cage to the sort of mist-shrouded isle you half expect King Kong to be inhabiting. But Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is looking to capture smaller game as he approaches the mouth of a cave, hobbling with difficulty on two crutch-like canes.
Positioning himself behind the wires of the cage, he slices open the palm of his hand and, as a roar of batwings echoes from inside the cave, murmurs to the copter pilot "if you're gonna run, do it now."
A rare blood disease treated with a bit o' bat
It's tempting to say "consider yourself warned," but the film's first hour or so, while unremarkable, is decently crafted.
Born with a rare blood disease, Michael Morbius has spent his entire life working on two things — a cure, and origami paper-folding. Natch, it occurs to him to fold together bat and human DNA.
Because the FDA would be unlikely to approve human trials, he and his beautiful co-researcher Martine (Adria Arjona) head in a cargo ship for international waters off the coast of Long Island in the company of eight thuggish mercenaries — think bloodbags — and once Morbius has been injected with bat DNA, it's just a matter of time before things go vampiric.
Let it be said that some side-effects from dabbling in "chiropter-y" are less ghastly than others. Bat DNA evidently gives you great cheekbones and abs to go with increased strength and speed.
Less salutary effects include new fangs that sprout from his gums with decades of decay baked in, and claws that erupt from his fingers pre-filthed. I mean, sure...why not? Except this is a man whose hair has the kind of sheen that comes from brushing it three times a day.
One other thing: he now needs to drink human blood every six hours. Happily, on his way to declining a Nobel Prize, Dr. Morbius invented "artificial blood," though that only fools his system for a while.
Color coded smoke effects for a Jekyll and his Hyde
If you're expecting a conventional Marvel movie, you should be aware going in that what Director Daniel Espinoza and his writers have come up with is more a horror flick with Marvel bells and whistles.
That means Leto's Morbius gets purplish smoke effects to go with those fang-baring snarls as he's riding air currents in subway tunnels, while the similarly afflicted Hyde to his Jekyll – a schoolboy chum played as an adult by an amusingly hopped-up Matt Smith, gets blue-ish vapor trails and snappier lines.
But there isn't much tension to their story. Or logic. At one point, Morbius overhears some counterfeiters passing fake $100s, and commandeers their printing press to make what appears to be an artificial-blood machine — because the technologies for fake-bills and fake-blood match up? Maybe that works better in a comic book.
Bat guys everywhere you look
Speaking of which, when the DC Extended Universe first announced that Twilight star Robert Pattinson would play the lead in The Batman in their corner of the superhero multiverse, it seemed like a nice inside joke — from Vampire-teen to Bat-man. But now that the Marvelverse has Leto going full Dracula, it seems as if the casting maybe could've gone the other way 'round.
Leto is as persuasively haunted by the dark side of vigilantism as Pattinson was, and as a result of corporate positioning, is maybe more determined to avoid being a villain. Not unlike Venom, Morbius was a bad guy when he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man comics, back in the 1970's. He needs to be at least an anti-hero now, if a franchise is to be built around him.
But bad guy/bat guy...who's to say? As the trailers reveal, another DC bat-guy, Michael Keaton, shows up in his non-batty baddie Marvel persona Adrian Toomes, just to mess with the heads of anyone trying to keep cinematic universes straight.
But bloodlines will have to be clarified in more robust "Morbius" episodes to come, this origin story being merely adequate, and by Marvel standards, slightly anemic.

CORVALLIS – Minutes after Oregon State linebacker Andrzej Hughes-Murray wrapped up nearly three hours of Pro Day drills Thursday, he had one thing on his mind.
Where can a guy get a good burger and fries?
In prepping for the 2022 NFL Draft, Hughes-Murray has been on a steady diet of chicken breast, green beans and rice. After Pro Day, what amounts to the final exam following months of preparation, Hughes-Murray was eager for a diet change-up. Hughes-Murray’s next stop was a place that served burgers and fries.
“Somebody is going to get my hard-earned dollars,” he said.
Hughes-Murray was among seven Beavers showing their physical skills in front of NFL scouts and personnel for the annual pro day. They lifted, jumped and ran, then finished the day with some football-specific drills.
The last three-plus months have been interesting and unusual for these Oregon State players who went from playing the 2021 season to training for the draft.
“I ain’t been training football. I’ve been training track,” linebacker Avery Roberts said.
Joining Hughes-Murray and Roberts were running back B.J. Baylor, cornerback Elijah Jones, receiver Trevon Bradford, offensive lineman Nous Keobounnam and tight end Teagan Quitoriano. One draft-eligible player who didn’t participate was two-time all-Pac-12 center Nathan Eldridge, who has decided against a pro football run. Instead, he’ll finish up his master’s degree and move on to the work world.
Unlike his teammates at Pro Day, Quitoriano was taking his second act on stage in front of NFL personnel. He took part in the NFL combine four weeks ago in Indianapolis.
“Just want to show my skills, have fun out there and prove myself,” Quitoriano said.
The gist of Quitoriano’s game – standout run blocker, emerging as a receiver – was on display during his four-year OSU career. The past few months has been about adding to the resume, as Quitoriano is expected to be a third-day NFL draft pick.
“I’ve tried to focus on my mobility and nutrition,” he said. “I wanted to show some more quickness than what people are used to seeing.”
Quitoriano said he occasionally talks to former OSU tight end Noah Togiai about the draft process. Togiai was Quitoriano’s teammate for two years before landing in the NFL in 2020.
Quitoriano has simple plans for draft, spending the three days at his parents’ home in Salem.
“It’s going to be a great experience for everyone, and I can’t wait to share it with my family,” he said.
Baylor is hoping to become the third Oregon State running back since coach Jonathan Smith took over the program in 2018 to land on an NFL roster, joining Artavis Pierce and Jermar Jefferson.
Baylor said he wasn’t nervous for Pro Day, as he approached it like it was a practice.
“I feel like I did good. Now I just wait,” he said.
Baylor felt like following Pierce and Jefferson was a proven path.
“Just watching them do what they do and go through the process, and learning from them, it helped me a lot, just to be comfortable,” Baylor said.
Baylor’s one curiosity from Thursday was his 40-yard time, which he didn’t know.
“I heard a lot of teams like me, but they want to see my 40 time and all that because they see me get caught a couple times and thought I was slow,” Baylor said. “I feel like I did good. Probably a 4.4 something. We’ll see.”
Roberts, a 2021 first-team all-conference selection, hasn’t been seen since playing against Oregon in the regular season finale. The fifth-year linebacker skipped the Beavers’ bowl game to undergo minor knee surgery. Roberts says he’s 100 percent and has been training in Miami for the draft.
Hughes-Murray was his usual upbeat self after grinding through three hours of drills. Over the course of a seven-minute post-workout interview, Hughes-Murray said he was thankful nine times.
“This feels like something I’ve been working for my whole life. This is just one of the steps along the way,” Hughes-Murray said. “I’m just very happy to be in this position of working toward my goal of playing at the next level.”
Hughes-Murray, likely to be an undrafted free agent, said he’s talked to a few teams, including San Francisco. He put on a show Thursday, doing most of his drills with his shirt off to show off the chiseled features.
“Hopefully after today, maybe more teams will be interested,” Hughes-Murray said.

The Razzies have rescinded the satirical award they had created poking fun at Bruce Willis for his body of work in 2021 after his family announced he was retiring from acting due to the cognitive disorder aphasia.
The awards' founders also rescinded a worst actress nomination for Shelley Duvall in the 1980 film The Shining because of reported mistreatment by late director Stanley Kubrick.
The Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, skewer what they consider Hollywood's worst films and performances on the eve of the Oscars ceremony each year.

They created a special category for Willis this year, nominating him eight times for "worst performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 movie" for each of his movies, but rescinded the award given his recently disclosed diagnosis.
"If someone's medical condition is a factor in their decision making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie," Razzie co-founders Mo Murphy and John Wilson said in a statement.
The Willis family made the announcement on Wednesday, four days after the Razzies. The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday that co-workers on film sets raised concerns about Willis' health in recent years and that filmmakers reduced his roles because of his diminished capacity.
Aphasia's symptoms vary widely and can affect speech, comprehension and reading ability, said Brenda Rapp, a professor of cognitive science at Johns Hopkins University.
The Razzies also said "extenuating circumstances" led them to rescind Duvall's nomination because of "Stanley Kubrick's treatment of her throughout the production".
Kubrick was known for demanding long hours and shooting an extraordinary number of takes. Duvall told The Hollywood Reporter last year the experience was traumatising.
Asked if Kubrick had been unusually cruel or abusive, Duvall said, "He's got that streak in him. He definitely has that."

Costs top Americans' health care concerns, new poll finds
Americans' biggest health care priorities revolve largely around affordability, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll, with most wanting to see Congress tackle drug prices. More broadly, inflation and rising costs dominate the public's concerns.
The findings, released Thursday, show that 55% of Americans call inflation and rising prices the biggest problem facing the U.S., far ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (18%), climate change (6%), the COVID-19 pandemic (6%) or crime (6%).
That's true across party lines, although the sentiment is most pronounced within the GOP: About 70% of Republicans call inflation the country's biggest issue, compared with 53% of independents and 46% of Democrats.
Similarly, other recent polls have found the rising cost of living dominating Americans' minds. In a new Quinnipiac poll, 30% of Americans picked inflation as the most urgent issue facing the U.S., with the Russia/Ukraine crisis following at just 14%. NBC polling also found Americans more focused on economic concerns than foreign policy or other issues. And a new Gallup survey said 17% of Americans cited inflation as the nation's top problem, the highest level in its polling since 1985.
The focus on costs remains even when Americans are asked specifically about their priorities for possible health care legislation, the KFF poll finds. Most U.S. adults (61%) say it should be a priority for Congress to limit how much drug companies can raise prescription drug prices each year to no more than the rate of inflation. About half (53%) say Congress should make it a priority to cap out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35 monthly and to place a limit on out-of-pocket health care costs for seniors (52%).
Fewer, 42%, call it a priority to expand government-provided health insurance in states that have not expanded Medicaid access or to increase funding for access to mental health services and training for mental health providers. Only 25% say that providing more COVID-19 pandemic response funding should be a priority.
"The public's priorities in health reflect deep concern about prices of everything right now, including drug prices," KFF President and CEO Drew Altman said in a news release. "That doesn't mean other things that have long been popular do not have public support too; they do. It just means prices are the preeminent concern."
In their personal finances, most Americans express at least some worry about being able to afford gasoline or other transportation costs (71%) and unexpected medical bills (58%), with many concerned about paying for monthly utility bills (50%) and food (47%). In February 2020, just 40% worried about paying for gas, 38% about monthly utilities and 34% about food, KFF found.
Concerns are magnified for lower-income Americans. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans in households making less than $40,000 a year say they worry about affording as or transportation costs, with more than 6 in 10 also concerned about affording unexpected medical bills (66%), monthly utilities (65%), rent or mortgage payments (63%) and food (62%).
About half of Americans, 51%, say they've put off or gone without some form of medical service in the past year because of its costs.
Twelve years after its passage, the Affordable Care Act remains popular, the KFF poll finds, with 55% of the public viewing it favorably. About one-quarter, 24%, say the law has directly helped them and their family, with 20% saying it hurt them and the rest that it's had no direct effect.
Of those who say they've seen a positive personal impact, about half say the ACA mainly helped by letting someone in their family get or keep health coverage, with 30% saying the ACA mainly made it easier to get needed health care and 20% that it mainly lowered health care or health insurance costs.
Views of both the ACA and its effects are also sharply divided along partisan lines, with 43% of Democrats and just 7% of Republicans saying the ACA has helped them.
Among Americans under 65 who have private health insurance, 56% say they know nothing about the No Surprises Act, a law taking effect this year that protects people with private health insurance from getting large medical bills when they accidentally receive out-of-network health care.

When something bad occurs, a frequent reaction I have seen is for the affected person to say: “Well, this happened for a reason.” And, more generally, they adhere to the idea that “everything happens for a reason.” This seems, in my experience, to be especially prevalent among Christians who obviously believe in a God who is involved with the world and has ultimate control. This is the doctrine of Providence, but the assertion is intended to go beyond generality. It’s supposed to mean that this specific bad thing has happened for some good, albeit perhaps as yet unexplained, reason. Then, of course, any pain is more bearable, at minimum because the sufferers can view themselves as participants in God’s plan of redemption. Soldiers under enemy fire can hold together better if convinced that their trauma is for a noble cause. Consequently, for both pragmatic and philosophical reasons, a Christian “under fire” would find “everything happens for a reason” to be a valuable, comforting viewpoint to adopt.
And there are Bible stories that strongly imply a particular event, seemingly bad at the time, indeed happened for an underlying, good reason. Or at least was turned ultimately for good, by God. Arguably at the top of such a list is the story of Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers (Genesis 37:18–36). This proved fortuitous years later when he became governor in Egypt and provided famine relief to his family. But it was self-evidently bad initially, and for years to follow. Also among the list-toppers is the story of Esther, who might have become queen “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). These stories can comfort the afflicted by making them feel that their difficult experiences parallel such biblical examples.
All Things Work Together for Good?
Perhaps the strongest perceived scriptural warrant for Christians to believe that “everything happens for a reason” is a long-standing and, I will argue, problematic interpretation of Romans 8:28. Consider two translations, first the KJV, which has had a longer cultural influence, then the NIV:
– “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose“ (Romans 8:28 KJV).
– “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28 NIV).
The second part of the verse is virtually the same in both translations and indicates that Paul is addressing professed Christians. But the first part can be read quite differently, depending on the translation. In the KJV it appears that “all things work together” is both categorical and inexorable. That is, no exceptions and unstoppable. And since swirling atoms have no intentionality, the “work” is presumably performed by God. Yet the possibly-categorical interpretation of the phrase can lead the reader to believe that all events in the world, whether we humans label them good or bad, are being inevitably and successfully turned from bad to good, by God. Now, you don’t have to read it this way, but I suggest that the KJV phraseology strongly infers this.
Conversely, the NIV states that “in all things God works . . .” (emphasis mine) This is not categorical, regarding success, but just says that God always tries to move events toward the good, as his nature would dictate. But, you might respond, doesn’t that interpretation make God limited and therefore unacceptably lessened? Not necessarily, because now we move into the territory of the problem of evil and need to consider appropriate possible meanings from that broader perspective. But we do not have to impute limitations on God, thus diminishing him. It seems evident, in our current world, that not everything happens according to a good God’s will. We answer this obvious reality by a theodicy statement saying God tolerates evil presently for (at least) two theologically-acceptable reasons: a) to allow creaturely freedom and b) to give opportunity for the outworking of what Adventists call the Great Controversy—a battle between good and evil throughout human history.
There are at least two harmful mistakes (so say I) that can occur in interpreting the KJV Romans 8:28. One is to conclude that contrary to what seems evident, whatever happens is actually for the best. Supposedly it all turns to good eventually and consequently one should not label anything as bad. This counterintuitive conclusion was actually seriously proposed by the philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Leibnitz (1646–1716) and is sometimes labeled “the best of all possible worlds.” His idea was then appropriated by the English poet Alexander Pope in his “Essay on Man,” where he penned the phrase, “whatever is, is right.”
Such a 180-degree flip from lived experience is indeed very difficult to accept, to put it mildly. Is the Holocaust good? The gulag, Black Death, etc.—all good? The Leibnitz view has been severely criticized, notably by Voltaire in his novella Candide. And I doubt most Christians invoking the “everything happens for a reason” assertion would easily align with Leibnitz/Pope. No, what happened is bad, but somehow, perplexingly, it is supposed to turn out good. No exceptions. Tough to wrap your mind around. Yet for many, this is what the Bible is taken to mean.
The second problematic inference is to accept the first part of the verse and then make it true by questioning whether you—the recipient of the bad thing—are actually, by God’s reckoning, a genuine believer. That is, sure, “all things work together for good,” but you the sufferer, contrary to what you want to assume, actually don’t adequately “love God.” And this does provide a way of accepting the presumed categoricalness of the opening part of the verse. But the bad thing isn’t going to turn out ultimately good as God was planning because you have failed to be sufficiently Christian. That’s quite a price to pay in trying to make sense of this verse. But some people do draw this conclusion when they cannot discern any good from the bad they’ve experienced. So, the failure must have been caused by themselves. Their Christian belief and commitment have not measured up. Wow, what a load of guilt this produces! All in an attempt to affirm that the first part of the verse is categorical.
The Problem of Evil
This whole misapplication is rooted in the failure to sufficiently understand and grapple with the consequences of the classic conundrum—the problem of evil. The Leibnitz “solution” to the problem of evil is by summarily eliminating evil. If “whatever is, is right” then what we think of as evil is merely an illusion. But without a long, digressive justification-explanation here, I don’t think such a move is defensible, on either philosophic or biblical grounds. Evil is real. And for the recipient of some evil to then beat themselves up with the idea that the fault is theirs—well, that seems doubly evil. So, we’re faced with the reality of genuine evil, but we want to somehow both make sense of it and give ourselves comfort and perseverance through it all.
But if evil is real, then it must constitute genuine loss that will not always be counterbalanced at present by God’s unilateral will. This doesn’t mean that evil won’t eventually be conquered or that God is not fully able to stop evil at any time. But the most responsible theodicy to explain the problem of evil involves God respecting free will plus being in the process of working through an overarching plan that necessitates tolerating evil, for now.
What Then Is Defensible?
Consequently, I would suggest that several ideas are defensible and several are not. Here are some (overlapping) assertions to consider:
1) It is justifiable that some specific bad events have indeed been “engineered” by God for a future good. The Joseph-slavery story, noted above, might be an example of this. However, not all or even most evil should be regarded this way. It can certainly be argued that God likely intervenes in human affairs (much?) more than humans realize. But not to the extent of “all.”
2) It is also possible that some intended occurrences of #1 above fail because the person involved really does violate the “those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” requirement. But I think this would be comparatively rare (as #1 being true would also be rare). Christians should surely not, by default, treat the failure of an experienced evil to flip into good to be the result of some personal faith inadequacy.
3) Given our current situation, where evil is given great latitude by God, Christians ought to consider the bad that happens to them as most likely not something that will turn into good. It is probably a genuine loss that won’t be compensated for, short of the Second Coming.
4) Thus, the maxim of “everything happens for a reason” isn’t true at the level many Christians who employ the phrase wish it to be. Yes, an overarching reason for what has happened can be assigned to God’s plan as embodied in the Great Controversy, but most evils are not examples of #1.
5) The best way to understand bad things that happen presently is that God has chosen to allow their occurrence by not interfering with either: a) creaturely freedom or b) the physical laws of nature. In this second case (e.g., earthquake, tornado), a bad occurrence results from “secondary causes”—that is, nature operating according to the laws of physics.
6) A miracle is what occurs when God chooses to intervene to counterbalance what otherwise would be a bad/evil event. And miracles are rare, by definition. However, it is also reasonable to suppose such interventions happen more frequently than we realize and will only be revealed to us after the close of this current age.
I recognize that some of the above assertions may be controversial. My aim here is to challenge an over-simple, although well-intentioned, belief that is employed by many Christians.
Now, at this point, a month ago, I had “put to bed” this article—basically as you read it above. Then by accident (but perhaps by providence), I picked up a book from my reading stack titled Is God to Blame by Gregory Boyd. I began reading and was stunned by his introductory chapter, as it was a real story, a real person, who believed “everything happens for a reason” and suffered—dare I say—tragic consequences. At considerable risk of making my essay overly long but recognizing that my above somewhat abstract argumentation is incomplete without being grounded in the real world, I will add Boyd’s story here, as it profoundly illustrates what I’ve been trying to say:
Several years ago, after delivering a sermon on living with passion, I was approached by Melanie, a distraught middle-aged woman. "I have lost my passion for God and my joy in life," she said. "I used to be a fired-up Christian who poured herself into her faith, but now I feel nothing toward God and I'm always depressed. I used to run marathons, but now I'm a blimp. “My husband and I used to be so close," Melanie informed me, "but now we're almost total strangers. Church used to seem so exciting, but now it bores me to death. I used to love to read the Bible and pray, but now I find both laborious and aggravating. I just feel dead!"
. . .
After some conversation I learned that Melanie's downward spiral began about four years earlier when she lost a baby in childbirth. As long as she could remember, Melanie had wanted to mother children. She didn't marry till her mid-thirties, so to beat the biological clock she and her husband immediately began trying to have a baby. After three years with no success they discovered that because of a medical condition, it was unlikely they would ever be able to conceive a child. Melanie’s extreme disappointment was short-lived, however, for quite remarkably Melanie conceived. "We thought it was a miracle," she told me.
Her pregnancy went forward without incident. But her delivery had tragic complications. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her baby's neck, choking the child to death during the delivery. Their miracle had turned into a nightmare, and their life turned into one tormenting why question. Why would God miraculously give them a child, only to take the baby away while coming into the world? Why did this happen to them? Even more tormenting, why was God preventing them from conceiving again? Melanie's biological clock had all but wound down in the four years since the tragedy.
After about two years of struggling with doubt and depression, Melanie and her husband sought answers to their questions from a Bible teacher she knew and respected. The answer they received was consistent with the theology she had grown up with.
"God has a reason for everything," this teacher confidently told her. "There are no accidents in God's providence," he continued. "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, and you just have to trust that God knows and always does what is best. The hand that smites is also the hand that heals. You just have to trust him."
When Melanie asked what good the Lord might have intended by taking her baby and now leaving her without a child, the teacher suggested there was a lesson she and her husband were to learn from this event. "When the timing is right—and God's timing is always right—and when you've learned what God wants to teach you, perhaps then God will bless you with another child," the teacher intoned. "Or perhaps it's simply not his will for you to have children."
Melanie accepted this instruction as gospel truth. She felt guilty because she had difficulty trusting "God's plan." The fact that her life, including her relationship with God and her husband, was slowly deteriorating intensified her guilt. Melanie had come to me with a question about passion, but at this point in our conversation her request changed. She wanted me to help figure out what lesson God might be trying to teach her. Maybe this would enable her to have a baby and get her life back on track.
My heart broke as Melanie told me her story. "Let me get this straight," I said. "You're supposed to believe that God gave you this strong desire to mother a child and then miraculously set you up to believe he was going to fulfill this desire, only to kill the baby he gave to you?" "Well, yes," Melanie sheepishly replied. I asked, "Does that seem like something a loving God would do? Can you picture Jesus doing that to someone?" Melanie was completely stunned by my reply. She had been under the impression that the perspective of her upbringing and of the teacher she consulted was basically the perspective of all Christians.
"What are you saying?" she asked. I took Melanie’s hand and looked deeply into her eyes as I continued: "Melanie, do you really believe that God kills babies to teach parents a lesson? And do you really think that God is now refusing to give you any more children until you learn this lesson—though he won't tell you what the lesson is?" "And the clock is running out, so I need to figure it out fast!" Melanie interjected with a desperate tone of voice.
I began to weep when Melanie said this. I felt such grief for the tormented state her theology had put her in. "Wouldn't a good, wise and loving teacher at least tell you what you're supposed to learn?" I could almost hear the wheels turning in Melanie's brain as her eyes stared into mine for a long moment. Finally, as though confessing a deep sin, Melanie spoke up, this time with a tinge of anger in her voice. "To be honest, I know we're not supposed to get mad at God. And I've been afraid to admit this before because it might further jeopardize God's willingness to give me a baby. But this whole thing makes me mad. I just don't get it!"
Then, like an erupting geyser, Melanie exploded with anger and frustration. She pulled her hands away from mine, threw them up in the air and with a loud voice protested, "God lets irresponsible teenage girls and women strung out on crack have babies, but I have a lesson to learn! I mean, we must really be terrible people to be disqualified from having kids when the bar is set so low!"
When Melanie was done venting, I said to her, "Given your picture of God, Melanie, I'm not at all surprised that you're finding it hard to have a passionate, loving relationship with him. If I can be perfectly frank with you, what you were told to believe sounds like a sick game. God takes your child and refuses you future children till you learn the lesson you're supposed to learn but he won't tell you what the lesson is. This doesn't sound like a wise and loving teacher, to say the least. How are you supposed to be passionately living for God when this is the picture of God you're trying to live for?"
"Are you saying God didn't do this to me?" Melanie asked.
"I have absolutely no reason to think this," I replied. "The one thing I know for sure is that God is fully revealed in Jesus Christ. When we see him, we see the very heart of God.
—Greg Boyd, Is God to Blame, pp. 11–14
Now you see what can happen when well-intended people who think they are following divine (biblical) counsel have not adequately considered the consequences of their theology. “Everything happens for a reason,” when employed without careful qualification, is clearly not harmless. A failure of the maxim can cause the believer in it to search for a solution that retains consistency. And too frequently this can result in guilt and/or an unnecessary slide toward unbelief. Melanie’s story is a tragic reminder that we cannot be simplistic in trying to live out biblical principles.

Parent of transgender child speaks out after Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signs anti-trans bills
PHOENIX - Republican Gov. Doug Ducey has signed bills banning transgender girls from playing on girls' sports teams and prohibiting gender reassignment surgeries for minors.
The governor described Senate bills 1138 and 1165 as legislation to "protect female athletes" and "to ensure that individuals undergoing irreversible gender reassignment surgery are of adult age."
"This legislation is common-sense and narrowly-targeted to address these two specific issues — while ensuring that transgender individuals continue to receive the same dignity, respect and kindness as every individual in our society," Ducey said in a Twitter thread.
Two GOP governors last week bucked conservatives in their party and vetoed bills in Indiana and Utah requiring trans girls to play on boys sports teams.
Republicans have said blocking transgender players from girls sports teams would protect the integrity of women’s sports, fearing that trans athletes would have an advantage.
Many point to the transgender collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas, who won an individual title at the NCAA Women’s Division I Swimming and Diving Championship last week.
But there are few trans athletes in Arizona schools. Since 2017, about 16 trans athletes have received waivers to play on teams that align with their gender identities out of about 170,000 school-based athletes in the state, according to the Arizona Interscholastic Association.
"This bill to me is all about biology," said Republican Rep. Shawnna Bolick, who said she played on a coed team in the 1980s but could not have made the high school boys team. "In my opinion, its unfair to allow biological males to compete with biological girls sports."
RELATED: Arizona lawmakers move forward with bill banning transgender girls on women's sports teams
Critics said the legislation dehumanizes trans youth to address an issue that hasn’t been a problem.
"We’re talking about legislating bullying against children who are already struggling just to get by," said Democratic Rep. Kelli Butler. fighting back tears.
Until two years ago, no state had passed a law regulating gender-designated youth sports. But the issue has become front-and-center in Republican-led statehouses since Idaho lawmakers passed the nation’s first sports participation law in 2020. It’s now blocked in court, along with another in West Virginia.
"This bill is creating a pointless and harmful solution to a non-existent issue," Skyler Morrison, a 13-year-old transgender girl, told lawmakers during a committee hearing earlier this month. "It’s obvious this bill is just an excuse to discriminate against transgender girls."
Republicans around the country have leaned into culture war issues including transgender rights. The debate and vote on the transgender sports legislation came the same morning the House considered and passed a ban on abortions after 15-week gestation. Republicans said little during debates on all three bills.
‘It is irreversible’
Arizona is one of 20 states that have considered legislation to restrict gender-affirming health care. The bill originally would have banned all such care for minors but was scaled back to restrict only irreversible procedures, such as surgeries related to gender reassignment.
Similar legislation passed the Idaho House earlier this month but it died in the Senate amid concerns from some Republicans about restricting parental rights.
Supporters of the Arizona bill said it would prevent children from making permanent decisions that they might later come to regret. Republican Rep. John Kavanagh compared the vote to the Legislature’s unanimous decision in years past to ban genital mutilation.
"We should stand the same way today because this is mutilation of children," Kavanagh said. "It is irreversible. It is horrific."
Critics said the decision should be left to parents, their children and the health care team caring for them. They said surgeries are only performed after extensive care and therapy.
"We’re talking about our kids, who are already going to be taking the proper steps with their parents to be able to be who they are," said Democratic Rep. Andres Cano.
The bill originally would have banned all gender-affirming care, including hormone therapies and puberty blockers but was scaled back in the Senate.
Similar legislation passed the Idaho House earlier this month but died in the Senate, where some Republicans said they were concerned about restricting parental rights.
Parents, advocates speak out
On March 30, a day after the bills were signed into law by Gov. Ducey, parents and advocates expressed their devastation.
"It was a punch," said Ai Binh Ho. "It takes away our rights to make decisions together with our children."
Ho's four-year-old daughter is transgender.
"For me to say ‘you’ll never be part of a team,' I just don’t even know what to say, how to tell her that," said Ho. "It takes away that hope that we have for her."
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, promised his administration will stand up for the transgender community.
"The onslaught of anti-transgender state laws attacking you and your families is simply wrong," said the President.
On March 30, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to states, warning it will go after states that practice unlawful discrimination based on gender identity. In response, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich tweeted ‘See you in court (again).'
In the meantime, some parents are now thinking about leaving Arizona, for the sake of their kids.
"You know when she reaches the age where she wants the surgery, and is ready for the surgery -- we know that the surgery decreases suicide, it is a lifeline for her -- I think we will have to move," said Ho.

Righetti High School's Latinos Unidos will host its 10th annual conference, titled "Uniting and Thriving," to bring students together to connect with their community and empower their voices.
The conference, which will be held via Zoom from 10 a.m. to noon April 9, is designed to create opportunities for students to explore ways they can work collectively to find their voice and feel pride in who they are as individuals, according to Kenny Klein, spokesman for the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District.
"Considering the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on students' mental health, I hope our Latinos Unidos conference creates a space for healing and connecting," said Patricia Villalobos, Latinos Unidos club adviser, conference coordinator and Righetti teacher. "The conference is a platform for students to use their voice, intellect and creativity to present issues they find relevant."
"Our hope is that this conference is a door of opportunity for students in our district to become leaders," said junior Susana Espinoza. "With the help of this conference, we hope that the youth in our community can improve themselves and then uplift those around them."

Oldest U.S. active park ranger retires at 100
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Betty Reid SoskinAmerican entrepreneur, activist, park ranger
RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) — The nation’s oldest active park ranger is hanging up her Smokey hat at the age of 100.
Betty Reid Soskin retired Thursday after more than 15 years at the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California, the National Park Service announced.
Soskin “spent her last day providing an interpretive program to the public and visiting with coworkers," a Park Service statement said.
She led tours at the park and museum honoring the women who worked in factories during wartime and shared her own experience as a Black woman during the conflict. She worked for the U.S. Air Force in 1942 but quit after learning that “she was employed only because her superiors believed she was white," according to a Park Service biography.
“Being a primary source in the sharing of that history – my history – and giving shape to a new national park has been exciting and fulfilling,” Soskin said in the Park Service statement. “It has proven to bring meaning to my final years.”
Soskin won a temporary Park Service position at the age of 84 and became a permanent Park Service employee in 2011. She celebrated her 100th birthday last September.
“Betty has made a profound impact on the National Park Service and the way we carry out our mission,” Director Chuck Sams said. “Her efforts remind us that we must seek out and give space for all perspectives so that we can tell a more full and inclusive history of our nation.”
Soskin was born Betty Charbonnet in Detroit in 1921 but recalled surviving the devastating Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 while living with her Creole family in New Orleans, according to the Park Service biography.
Her family then moved to Oakland, California, and Soskin remained in the San Francisco Bay Area, where in 1945 she and her first husband founded one of the first Black-owned record stores in the area, the biography said.
She also was a civil rights activist and took part in meetings to develop a general management plan for the Home Front park. She has received several honors.
She was named California Woman of the Year in 1995.
In 2015, Soskin received a presidential coin from President Barack Obama after she lit the National Christmas tree at the White House.
In June 2016, she was awakened in her home by a robber who punched her repeatedly in the face, dragged her out of her bedroom and beat her before making off with the coin and other items. Soskin, then 94, recovered and returned to work just weeks after the attack. The coin was replaced.
Soskin also was honored with entry into the Congressional Record. Glamour Magazine named her woman of the year in 2018. | https://news.yahoo.com/oldest-u-active-park-ranger-012124679.html | 2022-04-01T01:35:17Z |

SCAPPOOSE, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a man was shot and killed Thursday by two police officers in Scappoose, Oregon.
Columbia County officials confirmed the officer-involved shooting on social media. In a tweet, officials said that “no officers were injured and the incident is currently under investigation.”
A witness told KOIN-TV that he was dropping his wife off at work when he saw a man show up to the towing facility next door. The witness, Erik Tyler, said the man appeared angry and a fight escalated between the man and employees until the workers told him they would call the police.
Police arrived and Tyler said he heard them yell at the man to drop his weapon and the man didn’t comply.
Detective Shannon Wilde with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, which has taken over the investigation, told reporters police responded to the “disturbance” at Grumpy’s Towing just before 10 a.m. During the incident, Wilde said both a sheriff's deputy and an Oregon State Police trooper fired their weapons, killing the man.
Wilde did not identify the deceased man or specify whether he was armed at the time but said he was wanted for an unrelated “violent felony.”
Wilde also declined to comment on the circumstances that led up to the shooting. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Police-Officers-shoot-kill-man-in-Scappoose-17049819.php | 2022-04-01T01:35:17Z |

Runners and gunners - Cold winds were blowing over Champions and Legends Stadiums at Cape Sunday morning. Two hundred happy campers arrive, half go to Legends for a track clinic, while the other half end up at Champions Stadium for a lacrosse clinic. High school athletes serve as clinicians supported by all the high school coaches from both programs. The young athletes are just happy to be outside running hither and thither while rapidly changing direction. The track crew moves through stations from starts to high jumping, hurdles and handoffs, then to shot put and long jump. The lacrosse girls rock swag from colorful shirts to goggles, and they carry sticks. It was just so cold, but none of the kids complained, while parents dressed in layers huddled like Eskimos on the windward side of the igloo. “I’m figuring 130 kids signed up, then on a cold morning they all showed up,” said girls’ track coach Tim Bamforth. Lacrosse was having its second of three clinics, many of the younger girls coming from the Atlantic program, while the older stickers were mostly from the Beacon and Mariner programs. It was an impressive Sunday morning, hopeful like church to see so many muppets knocking about at Sesame Street by the Sea.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Gov. Ron DeSantis floated the idea Thursday of changing Florida law to revoke the Walt Disney Company’s right of self-rule in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the Florida-based seat of the Magic Kingdom.
In the days since DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, which opponents call the “Don’t Say Gay” law, opposition to the legislation by Disney has provoked talk of using state legislation to take away the company’s ability to self-govern its lands. Disney first got the right of legal self-control in 1967, with passage of the Reedy Creek Improvement Act.
According to historical documents from the Reedy Creek Improvement District, then-Florida Gov. Claude Kirk signed the RCID Act into law in May 1967, creating two municipalities: Bay Lake and Reedy Creek, which was later renamed Lake Buena Vista. The location, nestled between Orange and Osceola counties, would later become the site where Walt Disney World was built.
The RCID Charter created a 25,000-acre of land as a special taxing district. At the time, it was considered remote and uninhabitable, but now is the site of one of the busiest theme parks in the United States.
To make Disney’s plan happen, the area had to get special privileges from the state of Florida to essentially run itself.
“In 1967, the Florida State legislature, working with Walt Disney World Company, created a special taxing district – called the Reedy Creek Improvement District – that would act with the same authority and responsibility as a county government,” RCID says on its website.
Enter an era of the Magic Kingdom living a life of self-determination and self-rule.
Now, following the company’s public opposition to HB 1557, DeSantis and other state lawmakers have said they’re considering revoking that charter through a repeal of the RCIA, potentially ending Disney’s right to rule in Central Florida.
State Representative Spencer Roach, R-Fort Myers, tweeted on March 30 that he met with colleagues for a second time to discuss repeal of the decades-old law. In Ponte Vedra Beach on Thursday, DeSantis said he wanted to repeal it but not just over the current political fight, and not just the privilege that Disney currently enjoys.
The governor’s words are reminiscent of the state’s 2021 “Big Tech Censorship Crackdown,” in which a law was passed to allow lawsuits against companies like Facebook and Twitter over banning political candidates and equating it to a fight over free speech.
In his speech in Ponte Vedra Beach, DeSantis said the point was to take away the power of “woke” corporations from interfering in Florida politics.
“I would not say that would be retaliatory. The way I view it is there are certain entities that have exerted a lot of influence through corporate means to generate special privileges in the law. I don’t think we should have special privileges in the law at all,” DeSantis said. “Some of these things have developed over the years. I had to deal with this last year, when we passed a law last year to protect Floridians from big tech censorship. The idea was to let them be able to sue under the ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act,’ protect political candidates from being de-platformed, stuff that was good. And it’s being litigated in the courts, which we knew it would. But at the 11th hour, the Legislature slips in a provision in that law that said ‘If you operate a theme park, it doesn’t apply to you.’ And that was meant solely to protect Disney.”
DeSantis said when the provision was added, he had to decide whether to veto the bill and “throw the baby out with the bath water” or allow it to become law as-is, with the protection for theme parks. To be clear, Disney is not the only theme park in Florida. Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Legoland, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove are all in the state, to name a few.
DeSantis claims he isn’t just targeting Disney over his administration’s current disagreements with the company.
“I don’t think it’s retaliatory, I just think that Disney’s posturing has alienated a lot of people now. And so, the political influence they’re used to wielding, I think has dissipated, so the question is ‘Why would you want to have special privileges in the law, at all?'” DeSantis said. “And I don’t think that we should. But it’s not a matter of acting like those were really great policies. I think that those were policies over decades that were embedded in Florida’s law, largely because they wielded a lot of influence. I think because they’ve been able to do that over the years, I think that’s why they’ve gotten so, that’s one of the reasons they’ve got so far over their skis on this parental rights stuff.”
He said he thinks Disney is used to getting their way, and not having lawmakers stop them. DeSantis said he thinks that’s different now.
“They’re not used to having people that will stand in their way and say ‘Actually, the state of Florida’s going to be governed by the best interests of its people in Florida,” DeSantis said. “We’re certainly not going to bend a knee to woke executives in California. That is not the way the state is going to be run.”
Other than the “big tech carve-out” from 2021, he said he’s never given Disney anything while he’s been governor. DeSantis said he wanted to “reevaluate any special privileges of the law,” not just Disney’s. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/videos/florida-gop-considers-revoking-disney-worlds-right-to-self-rule-over-dont-say-gay-opposition/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:18Z |

CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — For the last two years, a pandemic policy has been in place that stopped thousands of migrants from crossing the United States’ southern border, but Title 42 might soon come to an end.
The Title 42 Public Health Order was instituted by the Trump Administration at the start of the pandemic and has stayed in place under President Biden for the last year. But now, White House officials are saying they might lift these restrictions at the end of May, which would result in hundreds of thousands of migrants entering the U.S. that have been previously been turned away.
According to Customs and Border Protection statistics, authorities turned away migrants more than 1.7 million times over the course of the last two years. Hector Vaca, Immigrant Justice director for Action NC, says many people are patiently awaiting Title 42 restrictions to be lifted.
“Some estimates say something like 18,000 a day, but we’re not exactly sure. We do know that it means some people will be able to come in, they’ll be able to have the ability to come in. And the ability to be able to see doctors in this country, be able to hopefully get together with family members that they haven’t seen in years. And they’ll be saved from gang violence or any other kind of violence in their home countries,” Vaca said.
Vaca said getting rid of Title 42 is long overdue.

“It’s about time. It’s about time that we got rid of that racist, anti-immigrant policy that was created under the Trump [administration] and continued under Biden,” Vaca said.
But most Republicans, and even some Democrats don’t think Title 42 should be lifted. Republican Congressman Ralph Norman sent Queen City News a statement saying:
“Title 42 is the only thing standing in the way of this crisis becoming drastically worse. The fact that Biden is now working to rescind Title 42 further confirms his unspoken commitment to the radical wing of the Democrat party for open borders and the legalization of millions. Otherwise this would not be a priority for his administration. We should keep Title 42 in place until such time as our border is secure and our Border Patrol has a better handle on this disaster.”
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, is urging the Biden Administration and the Centers for Disease Control to re-think lifting Title 42. Manchin is concerned about increased tension on our southern border and the highly transmissible Omicron BA.2 variant.
“In Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, encounters with migrants reached an all-time high of 1.7 million people. That is four times higher than the 400,000 encounters reported the previous year, and we are on pace to set a new record again this year. Through the first five months of FY22, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has experienced more than 838,000 migrant encounters. Unfortunately, due to annual migration patterns, those numbers are only expected to increase during the upcoming spring and summer months,” Manchin wrote in a statement.
Politics aside, Our Bridge for Kids, a nonprofit that helps migrant children to adjust in Charlotte, is preparing for an influx of migrant children. They have already helped many Afghan evacuees since the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan left thousands of Afghans in need of asylum.
“We have a lot of experience working with these communities. And in Charlotte there’s a lot of Latino-owned businesses, there’s a lot of ways where you can work here and you know, speak Spanish, and there’s a large Latino community. So we’re excited to be able to welcome families from Latin America,” said Salma Villarreal, Family Support Manager for Our Bridge for Kids. | https://www.fox46.com/news/immigration/trump-administration-policy-stopping-migrants-from-crossing-southern-border-might-be-ending/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:19Z |

Could the Golden Globes be getting an overhaul?
That's the plan proposed by Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who formerly served as the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, who hold the annual Oscars. Isaacs now serves as a partner and senior advisor at Pacific Coast Entertainment, who shared their proposal to the members of the Globes' governing body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, exclusively with ET on Thursday.
The proposal reads in part, "Over the last year, many watched the headlines that have dramatically impacted the reputation and stature of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA or Association), its members, and the Golden Globe Awards. A year into the Association's public commitment to transform, and despite the actions taken toward that goal, the boycotts continue, and the public image of the HFPA and Golden Globe Awards remains tarnished."
"As partners, we would take the additional steps needed to reassure the world that the processes by which nominees are considered and awardees selected adhere to the highest ethical standards," the letter continues. "Further, we would deepen and accelerate the work you began more than a year ago, adding more credibility in establishing a more authentic transformation and a willingness to encompass greater diversity and inclusion. This evolution goes far beyond a single award show on a single night."
Prior to issuing an invitation to all HFPA members to hear more about PCE's proposal at an upcoming dinner, the letter concludes, "At PCE, our goal is to build a robust business partnership with the HFPA that will benefit all members of the HFPA while restoring the brand and reputation of the Golden Globes. Our plan includes: creating an endowment to support the foreign correspondents; consummating strategic relationships for brand and community impact; and, creating a path for key industry partners to re-engage with the HFPA."
Following a year of controversy over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's membership and nominations process, the 2022 Golden Globes were not televised and were held without an audience or red carpet. The HFPA announced just days ahead of the scheduled ceremony that only "select members and grantees" of the governing body would be in attendance, under strict COVID protocols.
During the ceremony, Senior Vice President of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Kyle Bowser unveiled the Reimagine Coalition, a joint five-year initiative to increase diversity, equity and inclusion across the global entertainment industry.
According to the initiative, each year, the HFPA and NAACP "will collaborate on, fund, and support a series of trailblazing initiatives, with the overall goals of ensuring visibility of projects from artists of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds; increasing diverse representation in the industry; and building pathways to inclusion for young artists and journalists of color."

Sidney Sweeney is undoubtedly one of the best parts of HBO’s teen drama Excitement, and his family cannot be prouder. But as excited as they were to see her work, she probably should have let them know that the show is pretty raw.
“So, for the premiere, I invited my whole family,” the star revealed in a recent appearance The Ellen DeGeneres Show, i.e. parents, uncles, grandparents, “I was like, ‘It’s the Hollywood premiere! You have to come!’ We were all sitting next to each other and huge screens, like, huge screens—I was on the floor.
When DeGeneres asked why she didn’t warn her family, Sweeney practically screamed, “I wasn’t thinking! I was so thrilled!”
Thankfully, it looks like they took it very well. Sweeney tells him…

People who suffered from even mild cases of COVID-19 face an increased risk of being diagnosed with diabetes within a year of recovering from the illness, a new study reports.
Researchers found that people who had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes within a year after recovering, compared to participants in a control group. The likelihood of developing diabetes grew if the patient suffered from a serious infection that led to hospitalization or a stay in intensive care.
"What's surprising is that it is happening in people with no prior risk factors for diabetes" before becoming infected with COVID-19, said Ziyad Al-Aly, the lead author of the study.
These latest findings add to a growing list of studies showing that people who suffered from COVID-19 are at risk of facing other long-term health problems. Those include heart and kidney ailments and chronic fatigue.
Al-Aly also helped lead the study that showed the prevalence of cardiac issues in people who survived COVID-19 infections.
This newest study, published Monday in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, analyzed data from more than 180,000 patients from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The study's authors compared patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and survived the illness for more than a month with more than 4 million other people who didn't contract COVID in the same period. This data was also compared with another 4.28 million patients who were treated at the VA in 2018 and 2019.
The paper states that around 1% to 2% of people who have been infected with COVID will develop diabetes as a result. That may seem like a small number, but nearly 80 million people in the U.S. have had COVID, Al-Aly told NPR — meaning 800,000 to 1.6 million people developing diabetes who might not have otherwise.
"That translates to a really significant number of people with new onset diabetes in the U.S. and many, many more around the world," Al-Aly said.
Nationwide, approximately 34 million people had diabetes pre-COVID, according to Jorge Moreno, an internal medicine physician at Yale University who didn't work on Al-Aly's study. Doctors expect roughly 1.5 million new people to be newly diagnosed with diabetes each year during normal times, he told NPR.
What to look out for
This study shows that as a nation, more attention needs to be paid to the long-term effects of COVID-19, Al-Aly said. More vigilance can start at the doctor's office.
"We need to start treating COVID as a risk factor for diabetes," Al-Aly said, adding that each person who has come down with the virus needs to be screened.
Moreno told NPR he believes this study will create more awareness among general practitioners and endocrinologists, like himself, to screen patients who have had COVID for diabetes and other complications.
Those who've had COVID should also be closely monitoring their health and changes in their body, Moreno said, and should seek help at the first sign of an issue. Major symptoms for diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination (which is not influenced by how much liquid consumed) and blurry vision. Major weight fluctuations are also a sign.

Bridgerton, the Netflix romance drama, premiered all eight episodes of season 2 on Friday, March 25 after its long absence from fans’ screens. Inspired by Julia Quinn’s series of novels of the same name, it has garnered critical acclaim and enormous support from legions of fans worldwide.
Bridgeton Season 2, managed to accumulate a total of 193 million hours viewed in its first three days of release. Without a doubt, this is a feat that has only been achieved by the series created by Chris Van Dusen and produced by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix and which was renewed for two more seasons. Building on its success since it first debuted on screen in December 2020, the Bridgerton universe is expanding with a previously announced spin-off. Now, the first faces that will be part of the leading cast of the series derived from the Netflix drama have been revealed.
Netflix announced on Wednesday the cast of Bridgerton’s miniseries Queen Charlotte, in which Golda Rosheuval will reprise her role as Queen Charlotte, while Adjoa Andoh will return as Lady Agatha Danbury and Ruth Gemmell as Lady Violet Bridgerton. Meanwhile, India Amarteifio will get into the skin of the young Queen Charlotte.
The story of the Bridgerton spin-off reveals that she was engaged to the mysterious King of England against her will, Charlotte arrives in London only to realize that she is not exactly what the royals expected. And as she learns to navigate the palace, high society and her unpredictable husband, she becomes one of Europe’s most unforgettable monarchs.
Netflix also added the cast of Queen Charlotte to Michelle Fairley, who will play Princess Augusta, whose Netflix description reveals that determined to maintain her family’s power, the Dowager Princess does whatever it takes to secure her son’s place as monarch in the midst of a changing and modernized Britain.
Corey Mylchreest stars as young King George. Handsome, charismatic and a bit of a mystery, George has always bowed to the restrictions placed on him as the Crown. Until now, having to share his space and his bed with his new wife forces George to come face to face with his hidden demons. Likewise, Arsema Thomas plays the young Agatha Danbury, who is under the control of a much older husband, takes advantage of the arrival of Charlotte to find her own path in society.
In the new Netflix series, Agatha has a deep understanding of the once-divided social scene and the intricacies of marriage. She becomes a guiding light for the new Queen, all while she finds her own voice and power from the one we will soon recognize as Bridgerton’s iconic Lady Danbury. Completing the cast are Sam Clemmett as the young Brimsley, Richard Cunningham as Lord Bute, Tunji Kasim as Adolphus, Rob Maloney as the Royal Doctor, Cyril Nri as Lord Danbury and Hugh Sachs as Brimsley. | https://www.somagnews.com/bridgerton-revealed-the-entire-cast-that-will-star-in-the-spin-off-of-the-netflix-drama/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:19Z |

A federal jury Thursday found no negligence involved in the suicide of an 18-year-old who killed himself with his father’s loaded duty pistol left out on a desk in the living room of his home.

The Queensland chief health officer’s pandemic powers to order COVID-19 face mask and vaccine mandates, as well as city-wide lockdowns, have been extended for six months.
The state Labor government passed its public health bill on Thursday night with the support of 48 Labor MPs, but it was opposed by the Liberal National Party, Katter’s Australian Party, One Nation MPs, and independent MP Sandy Bolton.

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said Chief Health Officer John Gerrard needs the powers to act quickly given the unpredictable nature of COVID-19.
“This bill has been developed in a period of ongoing uncertainty not experienced in a century,” she told parliament on Thursday night.
“For the foreseeable future, there will continue to be unknowns.
“Government must have the tools to respond to preserve the health and safety of our people, to protect the community and mitigate disruption to society.”
The extension comes as elective surgeries are expected to be cut at some hospitals in response to thousands of health workers needing to quarantine or isolate.
More than 3300 health workers are currently furloughed, a figure that has more than doubled in the past week and a half.
Ms D’Ath is hopeful the current Omicron wave will not result in a state-wide suspension of elective surgery.
The state recorded another 10,722 cases on Friday, with 376 patients in public hospitals and 13 in ICU.
Another 27 cases are in private hospitals, with one patient in ICU.
Data suggests the state’s current Omicron wave is about one-third of the size of the previous wave in January, Dr Gerrard said.
Queensland appears to be approaching the peak of transmission, with hospital numbers expected to follow in one to two weeks.
During last night’s debate, the LNP moved amendments to extend Dr Gerrard’s powers only until the end of May, as well as for the government to publicly release health advice and for a new parliamentary oversight committee for the CHO.
“It is time to provide the public and the parliament all the information with the plan for how we can truly live with COVID,” LNP leader David Crisafulli said.
“To continually accept these laws without the proper oversight, without the proper transparency, would be for this parliament to not be doing its job.”
Ms D’Ath did not respond to transparency concerns, but said winding back the pandemic powers in two months was irresponsible.
‘Threat to life’
The health minister pointed out the federal government had indicated the COVID-19 national partnership agreement would continue until the end of September.
“That they (the LNP) are irresponsibly calling for us to end this before winter shows that they continue to deny that COVID is a serious threat to life,” she said.
Ms D’Ath said while the Queensland Human Rights Commission had called for vaccine mandates to end, the rights of the individual needed to be weighed with those of the general population.
“We know it is hard to weigh up those rights and get the balance correct, but we have to do it,” she said.

Blend Some Defense Into Your Portfolio With These 3 Proven Stocks
With interest rates rising to cool down an overheated economy and geopolitical issues disrupting many facets of the world, the market’s outlook appears a little hazy.
Investors are closely watching for Treasury yield curve inversions and keeping close tabs on the Fed’s recent hawkish nature. Many have noted the unique current economic environment and believe that relying on historical data from previous yield curve inversions and interest rate hikes is futile.
Nonetheless, it’s beneficial to pivot to stocks that provide a higher level of defense during an economic recession if it were to happen. I’ve selected three stocks that provide precisely that, with one large-cap company that provides tech exposure. Let’s look at these three companies and analyze some key metrics.
Tyson Foods, Inc
Tyson Foods, Inc TSN, currently residing in the Consumer Staples Sector, is the world’s largest processor and marketer of chicken, beef, and pork. With the persistent demand for their products, companies within this sector generate consistent, reliable revenues, even in recessionary periods.
Overall, the company’s top line has consistently climbed throughout the years and grew nearly 9% from 2020 to 2021. The three primary sources of revenue – chicken, beef, and pork – saw sizable revenue growth as well during this time frame, increasing by 4%, 14%, and 22%, respectively.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The company’s balance sheet shows that its total liabilities decreased by 3% and total assets increased by roughly 5.4% from 2020 to 2021. Shareholders’ equity increased by 16%, and long-term debt was slashed by 23%. Additionally, as of December 31st 2021, the company has a current ratio of 1.68 with a P/B ratio of 1.73.
Over the last 60 days, analysts have been rapidly revising their EPS estimates upward for the current and next year. The current year’s EPS estimate has soared 21% to $8.74 per share, and next year’s EPS estimate has increased by nearly 6% to $7.87 per share. Notably, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate of $1.91 for the next quarter’s earnings reflects a 42% year-over-year growth from the previous year’s quarter.
Tyson exceeded earnings expectations by a considerable 51% in its latest quarter and overall, has an average EPS surprise of 32% over its last four earnings reports. The king of protein has been around for a long time, and with a strong balance sheet and strong earnings outlook, I believe that TSN would be a great portfolio addition during times of economic weakness. TSN is currently a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) with an overall VGM Score of an A.

Walmart
Walmart WMT, considered one of the most popular retailers globally, is a big box known for its discounts and extensive product selection. During times of economic stress, discount retailers can see sales rise when consumers look for ways to reduce spending and keep a few extra bucks in their pockets.
Walmart increased revenue by nearly 2.5% from 2021 to 2022, and since 2018, the top line has expanded by 15%. Two vital streams of income, net sales in the U.S and net sales from Sam’s Club, both saw impressive increases from 2021 to 2022, climbing 6% and 15%, respectively.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Taking a magnified view of the balance sheet, Walmart reduced its total liabilities by a considerable 7.3% from 2021 to 2022 and increased total shareholders’ equity by 5%. Long-term debt was slashed by 13%, and accounts receivables jumped by 27%. Additionally, book value per share increased by 2.2%, and the company’s current ratio of 0.93 reflects a marginal 0.4% decrease from FY21.
Upwards analyst estimate revisions over the last 60 days have pushed the current year’s EPS estimate up by a slight 0.6% to $6.77 per share, and next year’s EPS estimate has increased 0.8% up to $7.30 per share. The current year’s EPS estimate reflects year-over-year growth of nearly 3%, with overall sales expected to grow by almost 5%.
Walmart beat earnings estimates by a positive 2% in its latest quarter and has an average EPS surprise of nearly 15% over its last four. The colossal retailer has a strong balance sheet, can generate significant sales, and has remained at the forefront of the retail industry for as long as I can remember. The company sports a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) with an overall VGM Score of an A.

Intel Corporation
Intel INTC is the world’s largest semiconductor company and primary supplier of microprocessors and chipsets. Tech names generally provide lower defense levels during economic weakness, but I believe Intel has the strength to do the opposite.
Intel’s top line saw a 1.5% increase from 2020 to 2021, and since 2018, revenue has increased nearly 12%. Net revenue from its IoT line of business grew by a considerable 80% from 2020 to 2021, and its client computing line of business grew by a slight 1.3%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The computer giant cut its long-term debt by 1.1% and increased its total assets by 10% from 2020 to 2021. Accounts receivable and shareholders’ equity saw considerable jumps, increasing by 40% and 10%, respectively. Additionally, current assets of the company shot up nearly 23%.
Current-year EPS estimates have decreased by a slight 0.8% over the last 60 days, but next year’s consensus earnings estimate has inched up 0.9% to $3.71 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for next year’s earnings reflects a 4% year-over-year growth, and the sales estimate represents a 6.3% increase in its top line.
Intel beat out earnings estimates by an impressive 21% in its latest quarter and has a four-quarter trailing average EPS surprise close to 30%. With long-term debt decreasing and assets increasing, substantial growth numbers within shareholders’ equity and accounts receivables, I believe that Intel can stand its ground and reward investors during times of economic uncertainty. Intel is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) with an overall VGM Score of a B.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

Video of Chris Rock recalling childhood abuse resurfaces after Oscars slap
LOS ANGELES - A video of Chris Rock detailing the bullying and sexual assault he endured as a child has resurfaced after he was slapped by Will Smith on the Oscars stage.
On Wednesday night, Rock performed in front of a sold-out crowd in Boston as part of his comedy tour. It was Rock’s first public appearance since he was smacked on live television for the world to see, quickly going viral on social media.
RELATED: Chris Rock addresses Will Smith slap at first comedy show since Oscars
On Hollywood’s Biggest Night, as he presented the award for Best Documentary Feature, he made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
"Jada, ‘GI Jane 2,’ I can’t wait to see it," Rock said in front of the Oscars audience. Pinkett Smith rolled her eyes in response. In 2018, the actress was diagnosed with alopecia, which is something Rock was reportedly unaware of.
After seeing his wife’s response and with cameras rolling during the live event, Smith stormed to the Oscars stage and slapped Rock across the face.
While the shocking incident occurred Sunday night, some are still processing what happened, including Rock himself, which he revealed to the crowd in Beantown.
For some, the confrontation was triggering and even confusing. How could this happen?
The Academy of Motion Arts and Sciences said Smith was asked to leave, but he refused. He also later took home the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for "King Richard." However, witnesses told TMZ the Academy lied and claim a producer told Smith they did not want him to leave.
Hollywood has erupted with reactions, including Oscar hosts Wanda Sykes and Amy Schumer. NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said the incident "perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community."

- Jim Carrey ‘sickened’ by celebs applauding Will Smith’s Oscar win after slap
After being slapped with all eyes on him, Rock, clearly stunned, did not return the hit and kept going.
An interview Rock did on the Howard Stern Show in September 2020 provides some insight into Rock’s response.
The interview with Stern came shortly after Rock revealed he was diagnosed with nonverbal learning disorder as an adult, telling The Hollywood Reporter the condition means he has challenges interpreting nonverbal signals in social situations.

"I’m just an open book," Rock said. "It’s also my way of apologizing to a lot of people without having to call them up. I’m a total weirdo."
Rock goes on to say he only feels confident when he’s telling jokes.
"I suffer from big ego, low self-esteem. And when I say big ego, it’s only about telling jokes."
While Rock is one of the most recognizable names in comedy after decades of success, he admits he often feels undeserving.
"I just feel unworthy of anyone’s attention, of anyone’s love, any accolades, just anything."
Rock briefly talked about his childhood and described it as a "horrible existence." He shared he attended an all-white school and was the frequent target of bullies, often being called racial slurs, being beaten by bullies, and enduring sexual assault, which he called "rape-ish."
Rock grew up in Brooklyn and some of his events as a teen were chronicled in the sitcom "Everybody Hates Chris."
"Chris Rock Ego Death World Tour 2022" is his first tour in five years.

Solvang residents moved a step closer to by-district elections Monday when the Solvang City Council voted unanimously to adopt the modified Orange Map. The council is slated to take a final vote on the ordinance when it meets again April 11.
“We’re uniting Sunrise Village by extending District 1 to Alamo Pintado Road. … To do this, we had to shift other districts to make sure the population was balanced,” explained consultant Daniel Philips of National Demographic Corp.
All four districts remain contiguous under the latest plan with populations balanced. No communities of interest are split. The tourist-related commercial (TRC) zone is represented in a single district (District 3), and the district boundaries follow major streets as much as possible.
Councilman Jim Thomas thanked Phillips for taking into account his comments at the council’s March 7 meeting in shifting the original Orange Map boundary lines to keep neighborhoods, particularly Sunrise Village, united.
The by-district election process kicked into gear after an August 2021 legal challenge. The potential litigant claimed the at-large voting system used by many municipalities throughout California was racially biased, and that Latinos had historically been underrepresented.
The council then voted to go to district elections rather than face the type of lawsuit which had already proven unwinnable by jurisdictions across the state.
According to the U.S. census, Solvang includes 5,769 residents. Of those, 3,965 were registered to vote in the last election — the 2021 gubernatorial recall — according to Santa Barbara County Elections data.
Under the districting maps, the city will be divided into four districts, each with about 1,500 residents, of which fewer than 1,000 are registered voters.
The mayor will still be elected at large.
According to Philips, federal law requires districts be equal in population, that race must be considered but cannot be a sole factor for defining districts, and that districts must meet all provisions of the Federal Voting Rights Act.
In addition, he said, the districts must consider the state’s own criteria. Districts should be geographically contiguous, and they may not divide communities of interest as defined by socioeconomic geographic areas. They must have clearly identifiable boundaries like streets or creeks. They should be compact, may not bypass one group of people to include another group, and they cannot favor or discriminate against any political party.
And finally, Philips said, the districts must follow “other traditional principals” including respecting voters’ choices through continuity of office for sitting council members. As such, existing council members will serve out their four-year terms before they are replaced by district-only representatives.
All three maps have been available on the city website, https://districtsolvang.org/draft-maps/, for public consideration and input.
Accessory structures
The council unanimously approved, as part of its consent agenda, the first reading of an amendment to the city code allowing all accessory structures, including sheds, in side yard and rear yard setbacks. The proposed code change places several requirements designed to “maintain appropriate fire access and limit visual impacts from accessory structures.”
If adopted on second reading at the April 11 meeting, code would require: a minimum 3-foot-wide corridor in side and rear yards; 3-foot separation between adjacent accessory structures; for accessory structures greater than 9 feet in height, a minimum distance between the accessory structure and the property line that scales up with the size of the accessory structure.
In addition, accessory structures in the side yard of a corner lot facing would not be allowed to exceed 9 feet in height and must be screened by a fence at least 6 feet tall. No accessory structure would be allowed higher than 24 feet tall or the height requirement of the district, whichever is less.
Countywide broadband network
The council also heard a presentation by Broadband Consortium of the Pacific Coast Collaborative Coordinator Maria Kelly regarding the process of establishing a countywide broadband network. The countywide consortium aims to bring fiber optic networks into homes throughout the county through the financial support freed up by state and federal legislation.
Previously, broadband funding was provided to the private sector to deploy. New legislation provides funds to governmental agencies and consortia working toward closing the digital divide. Ongoing legislation with funding in place includes California Broadband for All, Digital Equity Act of 2021, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The consortium will provide participating communities with mapping tools, surveys of existing digital access or lack thereof, will work toward developing a “regional road map” and keep them apprised of grant opportunities.
In other business
The Solvang City Council on Monday also:
— Unanimously approved the General Plan annual report as presented by city staff and required by state law.
— Approved a resolution which will provide $150,497 of Low-Carbon Transit Operations Program funds toward the purchase of Santa Ynez Valley Transit’s first electric bus. The program will be supported by the development of the electric vehicle charging stations currently in the design phase for installation in city lots 4 and 5, and laid out for six transit vehicles as well as other city vehicles. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
— Unanimously authorized a $75,500 contract with Carollo Engineers for grant-writing services related to the wastewater treatment plant upgrades and enhancements.
Prior to the open meeting, the council met for more than an hour to discuss an undefined potential case of litigation as well as ongoing litigation regarding South Coast Property Co. vs. City of Solvang. | https://santamariatimes.com/news/local/solvang-city-council-moves-ahead-with-modified-orange-map-for-election-districts/article_3cf4889d-6a9c-57c8-8145-cfe497c056e2.html | 2022-04-01T01:35:22Z |
EDINBURGH, Ind. (WXIN) – Scientists believe the loud boom that was heard across several counties in South Central Indiana recently was caused by a meteor explosion.
Scientists at Purdue watched surveillance videos that captured the noise and believe the boom can be attributed to an “air burst.”
“Essentially when a meteor is entering the atmosphere it will essentially explode in the atmosphere and they can make a loud boom,” Purdue planetary scientist Brandon Johnson said.
Johnson said it’s likely similar to the “air burst” that happened in the skies over Chelyabinsk in Russia back in 2013. That incident lit up the sky and caused major damage on the ground.
“If it was big enough to make that loud an explosion it should’ve been seen but it was a pretty cloudy day,” Johnson said. “If there was enough cloud cover it’s possible that no one saw it but it still did occur above the clouds.”
The boom was large enough to show up on seismic scales at Indiana University.
“There was a significant pulse of seismic energy recorded on our instruments at 12:44 p.m. yesterday,” geophysics professor Michael Hamburger said. “If this coincides with the timing of the reports, it is likely the result of the sonic disturbance experienced by local residents.”
The American Meteor Society said it took two reports of meteor sightings yesterday afternoon. One of those reports came in from Columbus, the other from Bloomington.
Based on those reports the society was able to triangulate the impacted location and said it was likely a “fireball meteor.”
Johnson said it’s a good reminder that a lot happens out in space.
“It’s a reminder that we need to stay vigilant and know how to protect ourselves and detect these before they happen,” Johnson said.
Johnson said that if it was a meteor then it’s likely that parts of it made it to the ground.
He said they’ll likely be small rocks with a black coating on them.
The American Meteor Society is encouraging anyone who saw anything to report it to them. You can report those at amsmeteors.org. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/loud-boom-caught-on-camera-in-indiana-believed-to-be-meteor-explosion/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:23Z |

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — About $7 million worth of surplus personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies purchased by a Northern California county was left outside during a rainstorm because no one anticipated wet weather to start so early in the season, according to an investigation released Thursday.
After a KGO-TV news report showed hundreds of drenched cardboard boxes, San Mateo County officials acknowledged the supplies were moved outside an event center last September to make room for a conference.
There was no definitive timeline for how the supplies would be distributed “even though the Fall rainy season was not far off,” the probe by James Lianides said. County officials said they hired the retired school superintendent to conduct the inquiry because of his experience dealing with large organizations and purchasing practices.
Lianides said the boxes of non-medical-grade gowns, face shields and goggles as well as cleaning supplies were also moved out of the event center to avoid the $100,000-per-month storage fee.
“It does not appear that there were any discussions or actions taken in the process of (moving) to protect the equipment in the event of inclement weather, such as wrapping or covering each pallet,” he wrote.
The county's executive officer, Mike Callagy, has said the county purchased the items early in the pandemic when PPE was becoming scarce nationwide so that local first responders and medical providers would have what they needed. The demand for the equipment decreased as the pandemic continued.
The county’s supply of gloves and masks — including N95 and KN95 respirators — are stored indoors.
“What’s clear is that that this shouldn’t have happened. What is equally clear is we are taking the steps necessary to make sure that we put the checks and balances in place so this never happens again,” Callagy said in a statement Thursday.
An inspection of the damaged boxes determined that most of the safety equipment remains usable because they were packed in sealed plastic wrapping, the probe found. Equipment that could not be salvaged were worth about $128,000, according to Lianides. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Report-Rain-not-anticipated-when-7M-in-PPE-17049873.php | 2022-04-01T01:35:23Z |

First lawsuit filed over Florida law restricting certain LGBTQ topics in the classroom
Two LGBTQ rights advocacy groups, as well as students, parents and a teacher in Florida, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday, challenging the state's new law banning certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom.
It's the first legal challenge seeking to block implementation and enforcement of the law, which Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed on Monday. The controversial law, dubbed "Don't Say Gay" by its opponents, is set to take effect in July.
DeSantis told reporters Thursday that he will defend the law "vigorously."
The lawsuit calls the Florida law an "unlawful attempt to stigmatize, silence and erase LGBTQ people in Florida's public schools."
"It seeks to do so by imposing a sweeping, vague ban covering any instruction on 'sexual orientation and gender identity,' and by constructing a diffuse enforcement scheme designed to maximize the chilling effect of this prohibition," the complaint reads.
According to the new "Parental Rights in Education" law in Florida, "classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
Parents would be able to bring civil suits against a school district for any potential rule violation, under the new law.
During the bill signing Monday, DeSantis said that Florida recognizes that "parents have a fundamental role in the education, health care and well-being of their children."
The plaintiffs in Thursday's lawsuit include Equality Florida, an LGBTQ advocacy organization; Family Equality, a New York-based nonprofit; a 17-year-old sophomore in Palmetto, Florida, who identifies as gay; an 18-year-old senior in Osprey, Florida, who identifies as gay; the parent of a transgender fifth-grader in Florida; three same-sex couples living in Florida with young children; and a middle-school public teacher in Grand Ridge, Florida. The complaint was filed by Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP and the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
The plaintiffs say the new law violates the First and 14th Amendments, and Title IX protections.
"This effort to control young minds through state censorship -- and to demean LGBTQ lives by denying their reality -- is a grave abuse of power. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that LGBTQ people and families are at home in our constitutional order. The State of Florida has no right to declare them outcasts, or to treat their allies as outlaws, by punishing schools where someone dares to affirm their identity and dignity," according to the complaint.
Weighing in on the lawsuit Thursday, DeSantis said he doesn't think that "any of the legal claims have merit."
"These are policy decisions. I don't think it's anything that's invoking First Amendment because schools, states and localities have the ability to set curriculum in public schools. We do that all the time. This is not new," he said, also arguing that the law "does not regulate student speech."
DeSantis' communications director Taryn Fenske told CNN in a statement that "this calculated, politically motivated, virtue-signaling lawsuit is meritless, and we will defend the legality of parents to protect their young children from sexual content in Florida public schools."
Proponents of the new law say it gives parents more oversight over what their children learn and discuss at school and argue that LGBTQ-related topics should be left for families to discuss in private. Opponents say the law will negatively affect an already marginalized community and also argue it would open educators up to an endless barrage of litigation. | https://www.wvtm13.com/article/first-lawsuit-florida-law-lgbtq-topics-classroom/39600782 | 2022-04-01T01:35:24Z |

(QUEEN CITY NEWS) — There is more fallout from Representative Madison Cawthorn’s comments about “orgies and cocaine” in Washington, D.C. circles. The comments, where he alleged people that he “looked up to” had participated in the potentially illicit activities, are also comments he has since reportedly walked back.
But for some, the damage is done.
“People called on us, across the district, state, and D.C., [to] stay in this race,” said Michele Woodhouse, who is one of several candidates running in the Republican primary against Cawthorn.
Woodhouse, who was once a supporter of Cawthorn, was encouraged to run for North Carolina’s 11th District seat, prior to redistricting, after Cawthorn sought to file for candidacy in a district closer to Charlotte.
But since then, Cawthorn has returned to the 11th District, which serves part of the Queen City News viewing area, and Woodhouse said she has a different view, calling him “unelectable.”
“He comes out of the primary, he gives the Left a seat,” she said, referring to the general election.
The calls of condemnation have extended out to a number of candidates vying for the Republican seat. Besides Cawthorn and Woodhouse, Matthew Buril, Chuck Edwards, Rod Honeycutt, Wendy Nevarez, Bruce O’Connell, and Katie Sluder have filed to run for the primary, which will be held in May.
“I believe he thinks any publicity is good publicity,” said former Henderson County Sheriff George Erwin, who is supporting Rod Honeycutt.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, after a meeting with the congressman, that Cawthorn’s claims were “exaggerated.” However, the comments have also cost him some support within the party leadership and among his colleagues in Congress.
“Congressman Dan Bishop told me, ‘the only orgy in Washington is the orgy of spending,'” said Emily Brooks, a reporter at Nexstar sister publication The Hill.
Brooks said those she’s spoken with on and off the record on Capitol Hill are also wary of associating with Cawthorn as a result of the “orgies and cocaine” statements.
“(It) puts everyone he associates with into that category,” said Brooks. “That’s definitely not appreciated.”
Cawthorn, who has not responded to any requests for comment since his meeting yesterday with House leadership, has posted a campaign video on his Twitter, taking aim at critics.
Queen City News also reached out to other Republican North Carolina representatives, who did not respond to our requests for comment.
A number of people have, as a result of this latest incident, called Cawthorn an “embarrassment,” including Woodhouse.
“You can’t be a lightning rod and a poor legislator, because you’re a mile wide, [and] an inch deep,” Woodhouse said. “And people say enough. We just don’t want it, anymore.”
U.S. Senator Thom Tillis has also expressed his support for a candidate other than Cawthorn for the 11th District seat. On Thursday, he endorsed State Senator Chuck Edwards, who represents Buncombe, Henderson and Transylvania counties in the General Assembly. | https://www.fox46.com/news/u-s/north-carolina/unelectable-some-say-damage-is-done-for-madison-cawthorn-after-orgies-and-cocaine-comments/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:25Z |

On Wednesday, fans were shocked to hear that legendary actor Bruce Willis would be stepping away from his acting career after being diagnosed with aphasia.
Willis' family announced on Wednesday that after a decades-spanning career with many blockbuster films and franchises to his name, the 67-year-old actor would be "stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," due to the condition affecting his "cognitive abilities."
According to the Mayo Clinic, aphasia is "a condition that robs you of the ability to communicate. It can affect your ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written."
Two sources have since told ET that the actor's health has been deteriorating for a while now, so much so that he needed help with his lines on film sets.
"It got to the point where on his last several films, he was fitted with an earpiece, and someone had to read him his lines because he was unable to remember them," one of the sources told ET.
ET spoke with Dr. Nneka Ifejika, a rehab specialist at UT Southwestern, about the condition.
"Aphasia is a condition that results from damage to the speech areas of the brain," Dr. Ifejika shared with ET.
As for what Willis and his family can do to treat his condition moving forward, he has several options to maintain a good quality of life.
"There are treatments for it, though, so it will be very important to get ahold of a speech and language pathologist," Dr. Ifejika noted. "Their quality of life is greatly affected by aphasia, however, with good, adaptive methods and ways to compensate for aphasia, you can still have a good quality of life. There are certain medications and certain conditions that can be used to help facilitate communication."
Willis' last released project was this year's A Day to Die, and he has several completed and announced projects listed on his IMDb page.
Willis is best known for his role as John McClane in the Die Hard films and has many other hit movies to his name including Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, Sin City, Armageddon, The Fifth Element and more.
