Selena was shot by the president of her fan club at the age of just 23.
His family says a new album will be released this year featuring his digitally modified voice.

The counting is over in the second union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. But it's too close to call.
There were 993 "no" votes and 875 "yes" votes, but more than 400 contested ballots remain. According to the National Labor Relations Board, there will be a hearing within a few weeks to decide if any of the challenged ballots will be opened and counted.
More than 6,100 workers were eligible to vote in the do-over election, which was ordered after the NLRB found that Amazon had improperly interfered in last year's tally.
Turnout in this year's vote was down from last year when over half of eligible voters cast ballots. But among those who actually voted this time around, there was greater support for the union. Last year, workers voted more than 2-to-1 against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a well-established national union.
"This time around we were able to educate more about unions," said Jennifer Bates, a warehouse employee, noting that organizers were able to get closer to workers now that the pandemic has eased.
The RWDSU called for every vote to be counted.
"The tenacity and courage of these workers never wavered in this unnecessarily long process," said RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum in a statement. "Workers will have to wait just a little bit longer to ensure their voices are heard."
Meanwhile in a separate Amazon union election on Staten Island in New York, the vote count will continue Friday morning. Roughly 8,000 workers were eligible to vote on whether to join the Amazon Labor Union, an upstart organization led by former and current Amazon warehouse employees. With ballots still to count, the union is in the lead, with 1,518 voting yes so far, and 1,154 voting no.

An expression of gratitude. After announcing the retirement of her father Bruce Willis from acting, Scout Willis expressed gratitude for the support that others had given to their family.
“The exquisite outpouring of love I’m experiencing right now is just driving me crazy,” the 30—year-old Scout wrote in her Instagram story on Wednesday, March 30. dad and my whole family.”
Earlier in the day, the actor’s relatives confirmed that the 67-year-old “Die Hard” actor was leaving Hollywood.
“We as a family wanted to inform you that our beloved Bruce has some health problems, and he was recently diagnosed with aphasia,” Bruce’s family said in a statement on Instagram. “As a result of this and with great attention, Bruce is giving up a career that meant so much to him.”
The news was shared on social networks by the wife of the “Armageddon” actor Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife Demi Moore and his children. Bruce shares Rumer Willis, Scout and Tallulah Willis with Moore, 59. He is also the father of Mabel, 9, and Evelyn, 7, with Heming Willis, 43.
Relatives of the German native noted that his medical diagnosis recently “affected his cognitive abilities.” “This is a really difficult time for our family, and we are very grateful to you for your unwavering love, compassion and support,” the statement said. “We are going through this as a strong family unit and wanted to attract his fans because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.”
Shortly after Bruce’s family revealed the decision, many celebrities offered their support.
Sarah Paulson, who worked with Bruce in Glass, wrote in the comments section: “He was such an incredible acting partner for me and the sweetest, most gentle and funny person. he reigns supreme in my book. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ».
Meanwhile, Megan McCain weighed in on the news about Bruce’s health, writing: “So much love, light, prayers and strength to Bruce Willis, his wife, children, @justdemi and their entire family during this time. Believe me, there is hope and incredible geniuses at the Mayo Clinic and the National Institutes of Health who work in the field of neurology and study the brain. Breakthroughs really happen every day.”
Seth Green also praised the time spent with Bruce in the past. “I love Bruce Willis so much and am grateful for every character he has given us,” Green, 48, wrote at the time. “I hug and love the whole family — thank you for sharing it with all of us.”
Later that day Rita Wilson replied: “My heart goes out to Bruce and the whole family. So grateful that you shared this with us. We keep all of you in our prayers.” | https://www.somagnews.com/bruce-willis-daughter-scout-willis-responded-to-the-outpouring-of-support-after-discovering-aphasia-amazing-love/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:26Z |
A man was shot and killed Thursday by two officers in Scappoose, authorities said.
Columbia County officials confirmed the 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 off his wife 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 that 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 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.

The first of the victims in a fatal helicopter crash north of Melbourne has been identified.
The chartered helicopter went missing in the low-lying cloud after picking up four passengers at Melbourne’s Batman Park at about 7am on Thursday.

After hours of searching in the dense bushland, emergency services located the wreckage just before midday near Blair’s Hut at Mount Disappointment.
Sadly, there were no survivors and the pilot and four passengers died at the scene.
On Friday, one of the victims was identified as 73-year-old Paul Troja, who is a leader in the meat industry and the chairman of Radfords in Warragul.
The others who died in the crash are the 32-year-old male pilot from Cheltenham, a 50-year-old woman from Inverloch and two men from New South Wales, aged 59 and 70.
Investigation underway
The cause of the crash is not yet known and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau have sent a team from Canberra and Melbourne on Friday to take over the investigation.
Some experts think the weather will prove to be a major factor in the crash as there was low-lying cloud during the flight.
“The Microflite has an excellent safety record and the helicopter itself also has an excellent safety record,” Aviation Editor Geoff Thomas told Sunrise.
“I think that they’re going to be looking very closely at weather factors in this.
“It could have possibly been an engine failure, but again, the helicopter has a great safety record and the company does as well, so I think they’re going to zero in on the weather as being a contributing factor to this terrible tragedy.”
7NEWS understands the young pilot’s four passengers are all Victorian meat farmers, who were heading north to purchase cattle.
The wreckage was able to be viewed from above on Friday and a large blue tarp was covering the site.
Delicate recovery mission
Police described the scene as “confronting” and have brought in specialist crews to try to reach the wreckage from the ground in the dense bushland.
The site was first found and accessed by PolAir and crews were winched down to check for survivors, but it was too difficult to reach the aircraft from the ground.
Now the SES and Department of Environment Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) are using bulldozers and excavators to clear a path to the wreckage.
Kevin McEvoy from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said teams would be working very closely with police on Friday as the investigation was launched.
Colleagues devastated
The helicopter was operated by Victorian family-owned business Microflite Helicopter Services, which offers premium tours, charter flights and aircraft services.
Microflite executive general manager Rodney Higgins confirmed one of the business’s “highly respected” pilots was operating the flight.
Staff have been left shaken by the loss of a much-loved colleague and all services have been suspended until Tuesday.

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – A South Carolina middle school student said he was walking down the hall with a friend when the friend pulled out a gun and shot another student Thursday afternoon.
The victim of the shooting at Tanglewood Middle School in Greenville County was pronounced dead at an area hospital, according to Nexstar’s WSPA. Community activist Bruce Wilson, a family friend, identified the student as 12-year-old Jamari Cortez Bonaparte Jackson.
“We were friends, and we were just walking down the hallway. He was walking really fast, and he looked really nervous. … And all of a sudden, he just reaches in his backpack, just pulls out a gun, fires one shot,” a seventh grader identified only as Michael said. “I didn’t think twice. I just ran.”
Michael said he had never seen his friend walk like that or act that nervous, but he didn’t realize a shooting was about to happen.
When he saw his friend pull a gun out of his backpack, he remembered thinking, “Oh my God. He’s about to shoot the school.”
Michael said students started screaming, running to classrooms and locking the doors.
He said the shooter “just ran.”
Michael said it will be difficult to move past the deadly incident, stating, “It is going to be hard to sleep because I just know I could have lost my life that day too.”
The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office took the shooter into custody in close proximity to the school.
“We are all devastated by today’s tragedy,” Jackson’s family said in a statement. “We love Jamari dearly and we would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time.”
“My heart breaks for this young boy’s family and my prayers are with them tonight,” said Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis in a statement. “Additionally, I will be praying for the other young boy who pulled the trigger and his family. I cannot fathom what would cause someone to do this to another human being and especially at that age, but I know it’s a situation where we all need to turn to God.”
Greenville County Schools Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster released this statement Thursday evening:
We are deeply saddened to hear that the student victim in the shooting at Tanglewood Middle School passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his fellow students, the staff members at the school and everyone who knew this child. This is an absolute tragedy, and we will continue to do whatever we can to support his family and the Tanglewood community as they mourn the young life that was lost today.
Dr. Burke Royster
We want to recognize the tremendous response from Principal Walles and the staff at Tanglewood, the school resource officer, Sheriff Hobart Lewis, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, EMS, and the multiple local, state and federal law enforcement agencies who all responded rapidly in accord with our emergency response plan.”
The principal of Tanglewood Middle School, Dr. Graysen Walles, also released this statement:
My heart goes out to the family of our student who passed away, and my prayers are with them. Our entire Tanglewood family is hurting with this news and from the events that took place today. Our school is mourning and will work together to heal and process this tragedy.”
Dr. Graysen Walles

New Delhi [India], April 1 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the students and their parents on Friday in the fifth edition of the 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' event.
In the annual event, PM Modi will interact with the students, parents and teachers across the nation and overseas. In the event, the Prime Minister talks about examination stress and related questions.
Amid the anticipation ahead of the event, Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday said that he is "looking forward to the programme".
"The enthusiasm towards this year's Pariksha Pe Charcha has been phenomenal. Lakhs of people have shared their valuable insights and experiences. I thank all those students, parents and teachers who have contributed. Looking forward to the programme on 1st April," tweeted PM Modi.
PM Modi also shared snippets of a series of videos on his YouTube channel from his previous interaction during Pariksha Pe Charcha. These videos cover a wide gamut of issues pertaining to student life especially related to exams.
The fifth edition of the annual event will be held in New Delhi in a town-hall interactive format from Talkatora Stadium at 11 am. Crores of students, teachers and parents from India and abroad will be participating, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had said earlier.
"Pariksha Pe Charcha is a much-awaited annual event in which the Prime Minister responds to questions related to examination stress and related areas posed by students in his uniquely engaging style in a live programme," Dharmendra Pradhan had said.
Terming Pariksha pe Charcha, a public movement, the Minister outlined the importance of this year's Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) in wake of the country coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and exams shifting back to offline mode. Underlining the importance of initiatives like PPC in building the knowledge-based economy of the 21st century, he said that PPC is becoming a formal institution through which Prime Minister interacts directly with the students.
He informed that select students across the country will also visit Raj Bhawans to watch the event in the presence of the state Governors.
He also expressed confidence that state governments across the country will also encourage the participation of students, teachers and parents.
The Minister mentioned that PPC will be streamed, not only across India but also in other countries reaching out to the Indian diaspora. He also called for support from the media in making this program a mass movement and ensuring stress-free exams for the students. (ANI)

The Los Angeles Business Journal has announced nominations for both the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, and President and CEO Ivan Volschenk, for the 2022 Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards.
“This is an extraordinary honor for the SCV Chamber, and its leadership, and we couldn’t be more proud of the important work and diligent effort our Chamber has put in these past several years for the Santa Clarita Valley business community,” said Chris Raigosa, Chair of the Board of the SCV Chamber.
The Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2022 Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards honor the contributions of the nonprofit community along with the citizens and businesses that support them. The award looks to highlight the tireless work of nonprofit leaders, teams, and programs, alongside the efforts of individuals and companies who donate their time, funds, and efforts to improve the Los Angeles communities they serve.
“The SCV Chamber has undoubtedly set the bar to a new level, for what a leading business organization should be doing with its advocacy and education for its business community,” said Santa Clarita City Mayor, Laurene Weste.
Today, the SCV Chamber is a strong, energetic business membership organization which now boasts the most diverse Board of Directors in the organization’s 99-year history as a direct effort to meet the moment of equity and inclusion. It consists of 45% of the board membership being women; 41% of board membership are people of color; and 10% of the board represent the LGBTQ+ community. In addition, two board members are foreign-born entrepreneurs.
“I am tremendously proud and grateful for both nominations,” Volschenk said. “We’ve worked hard to transform the SCV Chamber into a strong advocate for our business community and to create a coalition of businesses working to better our community.”
Focused on providing value-added programming and resources, the SCV Chamber is more than just a place for networking. It now offers its member companies a way to meet state requirements for worker 401k programs and a Medical Insurance offering to help small businesses afford reasonably priced insurance for its workers.
The SCV Chamber’s President and CEO, Ivan Volschenk, has spent the last three years building the SCV Chamber into a modern and value-driven Chamber of Commerce, representing the third largest city in LA County. Volschenk came to the US from South Africa having started his own software company at the age of 26 and grew it to become one of the most widely used legal management software solutions in southern Africa. He brought that entrepreneurial spirit and drive to the SCV Chamber and lead the transformation from a traditional Chamber to the modern-day Chamber it has become.
Volschenk is credited with helping to secure the Chamber’s long-term future as it approaches its 100th anniversary by creating a new, dynamic, and modern Chamber for Santa Clarita’s thriving business community. He has been able to reinvent the Chamber to best meet the current needs of the business community, build a grassroots advocacy program and provide a wide variety of educational and informational programs for the membership. He is also credited with maintaining the Chamber’s financial viability through the pandemic and building a six-figure reserve account to ensure its continued success.
The following is a some of the recent accomplishments the SCV Chamber has brought to the business community:
– Launched a 401k Retirement Plan for its members to provide a resource to businesses that needed to address new state regulations for employers to offer retirement plans to its workers in partnership with LBW Insurance and Financial Services.
– Launched a Medical Insurance Benefits plan for its chamber member businesses to help provide competitive prices for small businesses by bringing member businesses together.
– Created the ImpactSCV grassroots advocacy effort to better amplify the voice of our businesses through strategic email generating campaigns on important business issues. To-date, the program has generated more than 7,000 emails for over a dozen campaigns in less than 18 months.
– Lead a Pandemic Frontline Workers Campaign, in partnership with then Mayor Bill Miranda, that raised over $40k from the community and then injected that back to local retail businesses with the purchase of gift cards that were presented to frontline workers.
– Created a Shop Local campaign to support small businesses which ran from March-November to encourage people to shop local and win prizes.
– Partnered with PPE unite and L.A. County had a successful PPE drive which provided free PPE in the middle of the pandemic to nearly 200 local businesses.
– Partnered with local photographer, SchlickArt Photography & Video, on a 12 Months of Quarantine campaign that raised over $8,000 for local non-profits and provided participants a fun photo session. Charity exhibition was held at Westfield Valencia Town Center.
“Ivan Volschenk’s leadership at the SCV Chamber has been an example to other local and regional business organizations that are struggling to find their footing in a new world post-pandemic,” said Raigosa. “His success in leading the SCV Chamber is not only an inspiration to others, but a roadmap to other chambers of commerce across greater L.A.”
The Los Angeles Business Journal will feature the SCV Chamber in their April 25 edition, with the final honorees being selected during their virtual event on April 20 at 2:00 p.m. If you are interested in attending the event, please email hello@scvchamber.com to register.

Roblox backs Apple in antitrust case, says App Store offers privacy and security
(Reuters) - Online gaming platform Roblox Corp said on Thursday Apple Inc's App Store offers privacy and safety benefits to its users, supporting the iPhone-maker's bid to beat an appeal by Epic Games in a key U.S. antitrust case.
Epic, known for its "Fortnite" game, largely lost a trial last year over whether Apple's fees and payment rules for app makers were anti-competitive. It appealed in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Apple's process for review and approval of apps available on the App Store enhances safety and security, and provides those apps greater legitimacy in the eyes of users," Roblox said in a legal filing on Thursday.
Roblox had played a prominent role in the original trial last year. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is probing key revelations from the antitrust trial between Apple and Epic Games, in which the "Fortnite" maker had argued that Apple had given a free pass to Roblox, whose app lets people pick from a selection of games to play.
An Apple senior director described Roblox's offering as "experiences". Soon after, Roblox changed descriptions on its website to "experiences" from "games" and called itself a metaverse company.
Apple has said its rules promote several benefits for consumers, including increased security and privacy. Two former Central Intelligence Agency directors and 21 other former U.S. national security officials advanced that argument in Apple's support on Thursday.
The appeal hearing is expected next year.

Tommy Thompson, just weeks removed from leading the University of Wisconsin System, met with former President Donald Trump on Thursday for a talk about “Wisconsin politics,” a former aide said.
Thompson was elected to four terms as Wisconsin's governor, and earlier this year declined to rule out another bid. Thompson, 80, spent almost two years atop the university system before leaving earlier this month.
Bill McCoshen, a former chief of staff to Thompson when he served as governor, said the two met at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
“The primary topic was Wisconsin politics," McCoshen said. “They talked about the gubernatorial race, the Senate race and what it will take to win in Wisconsin. The topic of running for governor may have come up, but the purpose was to talk about Wisonsin politics more broadly.”
A Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
McCoshen said he expected Thompson to make a decision in April. The primary is in August. Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, businessman Kevin Nicholson and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun are Republicans vying to take on Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
Thompson was first elected to the Legislature in 1966 and was first elected governor in 1986. He resigned midway through his fourth term to serve as Health and Human Services secretary under then-President George W. Bush, and ran briefly for president in 2008. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Thompson-and-Trump-meet-to-talk-politics-17049815.php | 2022-04-01T01:35:30Z |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said. | https://www.wrbl.com/washington-dc/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:29Z |

Emotions were running high during Chris Rock’s first stand-up shows since he was slapped by Will Smith during Sunday's 94th annual Academy Awards. On Wednesday, the 57-year-old comedian took the stage at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts, for two shows to kick off of his Ego Death Live tour, and quickly addressed the shocking incident at the Oscars.
"I have a whole show… that I wrote before the weekend, so, if you came here for that, I'm still processing it," the comedian said during his first show. "I will talk about it, and it will be serious, and it will be funny, but not tonight."
ET learned that Chris arrived via private plane to Boston on Tuesday afternoon and checked into the Ritz Carlton before heading to his dress rehearsal at the venue.
A source told ET that Chris has been "pensive" and the events from Sunday have been on his mind, but he didn't want them to distract from his performance. "His focus is on his show right now," the source said.
The source also told ET that ahead of taking the stage, Chris worked out at his hotel gym and made his way to the venue around 4 p.m. to prepare for the sold-out shows. The source added that Chris was relaxed and upbeat and looking forward to performing, but knew he had to address the incident at the Oscars.
At the first show at 7 p.m., an eyewitness tells ET that Chris entered the stage to uproarious applause, with the audience giving him an enthusiastic standing ovation for about three minutes. The eyewitness says fans were whistling and cheering and yelling out that they love him. And just as the crowd looked as if they were about to settle down and let Chris begin, they rose to their feet again.
Chris, sporting an all-white outfit and a couple of silver bracelets, was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and touched by the very warm response. He even noted that he was getting “misty.”
"The reception he received onstage was very emotional for Chris," the source tells ET.
From there, Chris jokingly asked how everyone's weekend was and explained that he wrote his jokes before the shocking event that took place at the Oscars.
After he quickly addressed the incident, he went into his stand-up routine. ET's eyewitness says he commanded the stage and had the audience in stitches with non-stop laughter.
While he did make a couple subtle comments about Sunday’s incident, he never referred specifically to Will or his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. At one point in the show, he said, "I have a great life. Well, other than some weird sh** going on."
ET's eyewitness says there was an incident at the first show, where two unruly audience members were escorted out by security. The show resumed, but police were called out and the men were arrested for assaulting an officer, according to ET's source. After the men were escorted out, Chris told the audience, "Is this how the tour is going to be?"
The source tells ET that Chris' personal security was on high alert and ready to pull him off stage if needed, but it didn't get to that point. "Chris was not rattled by that incident," ET's source says.
Chris ended his show with another standing ovation and ET's source says he was "upbeat and was in great spirits" after that first performance.
As for Chris' 10 p.m. show, ET's eyewitness says it was much like the first one but with a few minor tweaks.
"I don't have a bunch a sh** about what happened, so if you came to see that, I have a whole show that I wrote before this weekend and I'm still kind of processing what happened," he said during his second set. "At some point, I'll talk about that sh** and it'll be serious and funny, but I'm going to tell some jokes. I'm going to talk about-- it's nice to just be out!"
After the shows, he was escorted out of the venue with security and went back to his hotel to sleep. It was a quiet first night for him, but ET's source says, "Chris was in really great spirits and happy to be back onstage!"
As for how Chris is coping after being slapped at the Oscars, a source tells ET that while he's used to fame, he has never experienced this level of attention.
"It's not uncommon to see Chris walking around the streets of New York City and showing up in small comedy clubs to workshop new material. He's never been someone who's hounded by paparazzi," the source says. "This level of attention is very new to Chris. There was a mob of photographers chasing him from the hotel to the theater and swarming him as he entered. There were even choppers following him."
Needless to say, Chris has beefed up security and is really taking this time to wrap his head around everything that's transpired, the source says.
"It's been an emotional week for Chris," the source adds.

The United States Department of Agriculture released an update to its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and found that nearly everything one might ingest – whether it comes from the grocery store or restaurant – is going up in price.
And yes, that's on top of the price increases consumers have already been forced to endure in the last year.
"All food prices are now predicted to increase between 4.5 and 5.5%," the USDA's Economic Research Service explained in the March report.
While the overall increase is alarming, a closer look at various food categories show just how expensive shoppers can expect items to get, according to the USDA:
As for take-out or dine-in menus, the USDA said those prices are predicted to go up between 5.5 and 6.5% for the remainder of this year.
Additionally, food prices climbed 7.9% for the year ending in February 2022.
This was "the largest 12-month advance since July 1981," according to the department.
The report also noted current global events that will only add to the uncertainty of food affordability, saying, "The impacts of the conflict in Ukraine and the recent increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve are expected to put upward and downward pressures on food prices, respectively. The situations will be closely monitored to assess the net impacts of these concurrent events on food prices as they unfold."

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania police officer was killed and two others injured Thursday during a shooting that occurred while responding to a domestic disturbance call, Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello said.
Police officers went to a home in the city at about 3:30 p.m. for the disturbance call. Nearly an hour later gunfire broke out and officers radioed in they were hit, Capello said at a brief news conference.
All three officers were taken to hospitals. One of them has been pronounced dead. A second was in critical condition, but stable, and a third was in stable condition, Capello said.
“This is an extremely difficult moment for everyone,” Capello said.
The suspect, a 34-year-old man from Lebanon, was killed in the shooting, Lebanon Police Chief Todd Breiner said.
“As one can imagine, it's clearly a traumatic event,” Breiner said. “Our guys are strong, but we're human and we have families.”
The slain officer's name is being withheld pending notification of extended family members.
Police did not release further details. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/1-officer-killed-2-others-shot-in-Pennsylvania-17049870.php | 2022-04-01T01:35:32Z |
An honest approach. Over the years, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith have been outspoken about their developing marriage and bumps on the road.
The relationship between Smith and Pinkett Smith made a splash in June 2020, when August Alsina announced that he had recently been in a relationship with the star of “Scream 2”. At the time, the singer noted that Smith knew about his relationship with his wife.
A month later, the Girls Trip actress spoke about her “entanglement” with Alsina. “Yes, it was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken,” she told Red Table Talk in July 2020. “Now, in the process of this relationship, I definitely realized that you can’t find happiness outside of yourself.”
The “Suicide Squad” star, who joined Pinkett Smith on the talk show, also confirmed that they had experienced a short separation. “I’m done with your ass. I’m done with you,” he joked then, referring to the split in 2015. “However, it happens in marriage. We decided that we were going to break up for a while, and you go figure out how to make yourself happy, and I’ll try to figure out how to make myself happy. I really felt like we could finish.”
“The Smith family is very happy that they solved this problem and put everything on display,” the insider explained. “Will and Jada, after all, look like a normal couple who were just made famous because they are famous. They fought. They made up. After all, they love each other.”
Later, the Philadelphia native told in detail when monogamy was studied in his marriage. “Jada has never believed in traditional marriage… Jada had family members who had unconventional relationships,” Smith, who has been married to Pinkett Smith since 1997, told GQ in September 2021. how I grew up.”
Smith noted that their relationship expectations changed as they got older. “There have been serious endless discussions about what is perfection in a relationship?” he continued. “And for most of our relationship, we chose monogamy, not thinking of monogamy as the only perfection in the relationship.”
Amid further speculation about infidelity, Smith refuted the assumptions of people who were not familiar with the couple. “Never. There has never been infidelity in our marriage,” he said on CBS Sunday Morning, noting that the couple “discusses everything” with each other. — And we never surprised each other with anything.
For the “I am a Legend” star, communication helped him and Pinkett Smith become better.
“But the heart and soul of our union were then and remain today intense, luminescent conversations. Even before writing this very sentence, if Jada and I start a conversation, it’s at least a two-hour job. And often we talk for five or six hours in a row,” he wrote in his memoirs, released in November 2021. — Our joy of reflection and comprehension of the mysteries of the universe through the mirror of experience is unbridled ecstasy. Even in the depths of disagreement, there is nothing in this world that any of us cherish or enjoy more than the opportunity to grow and learn from each other through passionate communication.”
In March 2022, Smith raised eyebrows when he punched Chris Rock during the 94th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. The “Hitch” star punched Rock before yelling, “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.”
The incident has divided Hollywood: some stars doubt Smith’s reaction, while others defend him for standing up for his wife. Pinkett Smith, for her part, rolled her eyes at Rock’s joke after speaking candidly about her diagnosis of alopecia in 2018. | https://www.somagnews.com/celebrities-rate-the-most-talked-about-moments-of-jada-pinkett-smith-and-will-smith/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:32Z |

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.wwlp.com/news/videos/loud-boom-caught-on-camera-in-indiana-believed-to-be-meteor-explosion/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:33Z |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said. | https://www.fox46.com/news/u-s/washington-d-c/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:31Z |
A pay rise for aged care workers has not been budgeted for this year, a federal minister has confirmed.
Government Services Minister Linda Reynolds says the coalition government will review any decisions by the independent regulator before committing to a pay rise for aged care workers.
"(The government) will wait for (the Fair Work Commission) to do their work, they'll make a determination, we will review it and then we will take whatever position we do after that review," she told a Senate estimates committee on Friday.
Watch the latest news on Channel 7 or stream it for free on 7plus >>
But the prime minister says the government will implement the commission's recommendation.
"It's impossible to know what that (decision) is," he told reporters in Sydney.
"The Fair Work Commission finding has to be honoured and it will be."
Greens senator Janet Rice says it's surprising the government hasn't budgeted for the pay rise when it knows the commission will be making a recommendation.
"(The government) didn't see any need to put any form of contingency in the budget to cover those increased costs," she said.
"It's pretty evident - given what we know about the low wages of aged care workers who work tirelessly and are paid a pittance - that there will be recommendations."
But Senator Reynolds says the government can't predict what those recommendations will be.
"We are many things ... but we're not mind readers in terms of what the Fair Work Commission will determine and we'll (budget) that at the appropriate time," she said.
Meanwhile, only half of aged care providers have had the $400 bonus per worker promised by the government approved.
Officials from the health department said 499 of 807 aged care service providers have had their applications for the payment approved since the bonus was announced earlier this year.
But it could take between three and six months for an audit to determine if workers haven't received the bonus, Health Department official James Benson told the committee hearing on Friday.
Before then, it will be up to workers to alert the department if they haven't received it.
Senator Rice said this shows the government is not following through on its promises.
But Health Department head Brendan Murphy says providers want to do the best thing by the workers and will apply for and pass on the payment.
Labor made aged care a key plank of its budget reply on Thursday, pledging to improve the pay of aged care workers and making a formal submission to the commission in favour of a rise.

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.wvtm13.com/article/oscars-producer-police-offered-arrest-will-smith/39603725 | 2022-04-01T01:35:34Z |

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 1 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday, highlighting his commitment to providing employment to youth, said that the government has directed all the service selection boards to provide government jobs to more than 10,000 youths of the state in the next 100 days.
"The state government is committed to connecting the youth with government jobs and providing them employment. In this sequence, the government has given instructions to all the service selection boards to provide government jobs to more than 10,000 youths of the state in the next 100 days," Yogi Adityanath tweeted in Hindi.
Soon after assuming the office for the second consecutive term as the Chief Minister of the state, Yogi said last week that the Uttar Pradesh government will provide employment opportunities to youth in the public sector.
The decision to provide government jobs in the state was taken during the first cabinet meeting held earlier. The Chief Minister chaired the first cabinet meeting on Saturday in Lok Bhawan, Lucknow.
Meanwhile, the newly sworn-in Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is likely to present its first Budget of over Rs 6.5 lakh crore focusing on fulfilling the BJP's poll promises "for the empowerment of the poor, farmers, youth and women", according to the Chief Minister's Office.

Want to try bottoming or just get better at it? Well dear, now you can with this very helpful and practical guide to taking it like a champ. You’re welcome.
Before we get stuck into sticking it in, we always support and suggest safer sex. Read our guide to PrEP, and always use condoms.
A bottom is sometimes referred to as the passive role or ‘pitcher’ (versus a ‘catcher’ or a top), and is the lucky guy that gets penetrated, gets f**ked, takes it up the rear, gets a cock in their ass, the penis in the anus.
https://www.besthookupwebsites.org/girlsdateforfree-review
We hope that’s a bit clearer now? Great, read on for all the facts and info on bottoming as well as a debunking of all the common myths.
Genetics or personal preference?
But this is just one study. The actual reason why some people and tops and others are bottoms is way more complicated than that.
Stereotypical bottoms
The most common stereotype for a bottom is a younger guy with little body hair, who is on the camp side of the spectrum. But stereotypes must be taken with a pinch of salt and only account for a small percentage of the truth.
The fact is, anyone can be a bottom and we’d encourage trying it if you’re in any way inclined – after all, a man’s G spot is hidden up there and bottoming is a sure fire way to stimulate it.
Yeah, lots of bottoms follow the stereotype above, but lots of bottoms are big beefy daddies, hyper-masculine military dudes and everything in between.
There is no ‘rule’ that governs who should be a top or a bottom. Hey, why not be both? Here’s our guide to being versatile if you want to find out more.
If this “super-masc” specimen of a man, porn star Landon Conrad can be a bottom then so can you babes.
Reasons why people don’t bottom
“It’ll hurt too much, it’ll be dirty, his dick is too big, I’m not gay if I don’t get fucked.” We’ve heard them all before.
No pain, no gain – does it hurt?
The first time a man has anal sex is often painful. It’s a totally new thing that’s happening to your ass, the muscles don’t know what’s happening and you don’t know how to breathe into the action or how to relax and contract your ass muscles.
How can I be a good bottom?
There’s certainly a lot more preparation to do, and it can be a bit bewildering if you’re new to it. But we’ve got it covered.
If you’re scared about things getting dirty, learn how to douche. You can read more about douching here in this general explainer about anal sex, but in a nutshell, it means washing yourself with warm water.
Diet and exercise
Eating a diet rich in fibre is more likely to make you feel like your bowel movements are ‘complete,’ and therefore more confident about using your ass being clean for f**king.
If you’ve got a hectic lifestyle and daily fibre intake is difficult to fit into your meals, there are a ton of fibre supplements out there to help you out.
If you’re into the gym, do extra squats. You can also practice clenching and relaxing your anal sphincter muscle almost anywhere. Now there’s something to make the daily commute more interesting…
Learning how to take it
We said there was a lot of prep eh? But when it’s actually time to take your partner’s cock, make sure you’re as relaxed as possible.
Do your exercises, and learn to use your ass muscles. When the tip of your partner’s penis starts to enter you, push out your sphincter.
Expand and contract this muscle. Each time you do, you’ll find that his cock will go in a bit more – and most importantly – it’ll go in a bit more easily.
Sexual positions where a bottom leads
Being a bottom doesn’t mean you need to be submissive, or that your Top has to be in control of the situation.
Riding your guy, is a good way to self-manage how you take his dick: how fast, how much, and how hard – it’s all up to you in this position.
It’s your ass, it’s your sexual experience. Don’t be afraid to tell your guy exactly how you’re feeling. Tell him if it’s too hard, too deep, too fast or too slow.
Medical issues that might hold you back
Anal fissures, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or genital warts (in and around the anus) could potentially cause you to shy away from anal sex as a bottom. But these things are all treatable.
In the case of IBS, a careful diet and imodium a few hours before your planned session could greatly relieve any pain or self-confidence issues about gas or waste material causing embarrassing problems or discomfort. | http://www.hurfikirler.com/how-to-be-a-bottom-a-guide-to-being-penetrated-by-37/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:35Z |
String of Tulare County dairy robberies ends in shootout with deputies, 4 arrests
A string of robberies spanning five rural Tulare County dairies ended in gunfire with deputies late Wednesday, the sheriff's office announced.
The crime spree began Wednesday evening when deputies were called to the Little Rock Dairy in the 13000 Block of Road 80 in Tipton. The victims said four men walked up to the dairy employees and demanded their belongings.
Two of the suspects were armed, according to the employees, who handed over their wallets and cell phones.
Over the next hour, the four suspects zig-zagged across the south county, robbing multiple suspects at four other dairies including the Golden State Dairy in Pixley, the Henry Garcia Dairy in Tulare, Mendonca Farms in Tipton and Dick Vanderham & Sons Dairy, also in Tipton.
At the Tulare dairy, the suspects also stole a Honda CRV, which was later spotted by officers on Highway 99 and Avenue 24. After a short chase, the stolen SUV pulled over in the area of Avenue 80 and Road 140, and the suspects fled into an orchard.
At least one of the suspects opened fire at the deputies as they chased the men into the field. Deputies returned gunfire, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
No one was injured.
Following the shootout, deputies arrested four men including Agustine Chavez, 24, Ismael Cervantez, 18, as well as two juvenile boys on suspicion of robbery, attempted murder of a police officer and conspiracy to commit a felony.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A $64.1 billion supplemental state budget that spends on statewide programs ranging from homelessness and behavioral health to the ongoing COVID-19 response was signed Thursday by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.
The supplemental plan builds off of the $59 billion, two-year spending plan adopted by the Legislature last year, and benefited from the significant influx of revenues the state has seen over the past year. Additionally, lawmakers used more than $1 billion in remaining pandemic-related federal relief funds in the budget.
More than $800 million is allocated for homelessness and housing, including $50 million to transition unhoused people from unsanctioned camps to housing.
Inslee specifically called out the efforts on addressing homelessness, saying that lawmakers “gave us relief that is big, that is bold, and that is fast.”
While there are no general tax increases in the plan, there are also no across-the-board tax cuts, something Republicans had argued for throughout the legislative session that ended March 10.
“It’s been easy to explain to my constituents why Republicans opposed this budget – all I have to do is point to how the costs of living have continued to rise in the weeks since it was adopted, and the huge revenue surplus the Democrats had available,“ Republican Sen. Lynda Wilson said in a statement.
A small business tax credit was included that would affect about 125,000 small businesses in the state, and was among the bills signed by Inslee Thursday.
Starting in January, businesses making less than $125,000 a year would pay no state business taxes, and those making up to $250,000 a year, business taxes will be cut in half.
The supplemental operating budget also spends state or federal money on things like adding more social supports like nurses and counselors for students, increasing rates to vendors providing services to people with developmental disabilities or long-term care needs and shoring up the state’s paid family leave program, which officials warned was nearing a deficit.
It also allots funding for raises for state workers. According to the Office of Financial Management, about 63,800 general government employees will get a 3.25% general wage increase, about 6,700 state corrections workers will get a 4% general wage increase and about 1,200 state patrol officers will get a 10% general wage increase. The last general wage increase for represented employees was July 1, 2020.
The operating budget also transfers more than $2 billion to the nearly $17 billion, 16-year transportation revenue package that Inslee signed last week. The plan leaves about $3 billion in total reserves.
Inslee had several full or partial vetoes of bills, including a section of a bill that would have expanded the state’s existing warehouse sales and use tax to include smaller warehouses of at least 100,000 square feet. In his veto notice, Inslee said that while he understood the importance of manufacturing and warehousing to rural economies, he said the tax incentives in the bill were overly broad.
Inslee on Thursday also signed a $1.5 billion state construction budget that spends on areas ranging from housing, homelessness, behavioral health facilities, and seismic upgrades at public schools. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Washington-governor-signs-64-1-billion-17049827.php | 2022-04-01T01:35:36Z |

“NCIS, one of the most popular and enduring series in the world, and fan favorite NCIS: Los Angeles have been hugely successful on the CBS schedule for years,” said Kelly Kahl, president of CBS Entertainment, in a statement. “With the strong new addition of NCIS: Hawaii, we are able to expand the strength of this formidable franchise across our schedule.

Former President Trump senior adviser Jared Kushner provided "helpful" information to the Democratic-led House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a member of the panel said.
Kushner, married to Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, who was also a senior adviser, is the most high profile member of Trump's inner circle known to have appeared before the committee.
He voluntarily appeared for a remote interview that started at 10 a.m. and lasted at least into the early afternoon hours, several sources familiar with the committee's work said.
Kushner's meeting came two months after the panel asked Ivanka Trump to voluntarily appear before the committee. Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said Ivanka Trump and the committee are engaged in conversations, but no final plan has been reached on her appearance.
"The expectation is that it will take place, as to when I can't tell you right now, I know we are engaging her as a committee," Thompson said on Wednesday.
Virginia Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria told NPR the conversation with Kushner was "helpful." She told MSNBC that Kushner was able to substantiate information and provide his own take on different reports on the Jan. 6 attack.
Luria said it's valuable to hear firsthand accounts from witnesses such as Kushner directly.
"I think that the committee really appreciates hearing information directly from people who have relevant facts about January 6, and the fact that Jared Kushner came as a witness is helpful to building the story of our investigation," Luria said.
One source familiar with the committee's discussions but unable to speak on the record said there were details that Kushner couldn't remember but the source noted that like other witnesses, it has been more than a year since the attack on the Capitol and it is not uncommon for some to not recall some specifics.
Kushner was traveling back from Saudi Arabia on Jan. 6, 2021, but Thompson said he believes that he could help the committee understand more about the events that led up to that day.
"We think because he was an integral part of the administration, it's, I think, important for us to find out if he knew anything about the planning before January 6 and to get it from him," Thompson said.
Thompson, who was not at House votes on Thursday and voted by proxy, had said a day earlier if Kushner's interview went well, the panel would ask for additional communication details, such as call and text message records.
Thompson had previously waved off interest in Kushner but said the committee's staff has continued to reach out to potential witnesses.
"We have an excellent staff, and staff has been actively engaging a number of witnesses, including individuals or their attorneys and Kushner's attorney will be the same," Thompson told NPR on Wednesday.
The White House on Wednesday said it had waived executive privilege claims for Kushner and Ivanka Trump, allowing them to share certain details with the panel.

Chicago P.D. It is famous for being full of great stories and also for presenting shocking and often devastating dramatic twists on screen, which frequently cause an avalanche of comments among its fans who try to analyze the true reasons for them to occur. One of the narrative arcs that is still going strong concerns the departure of one of his most admired characters, Alvin “Al” Olinsky, played by veteran actor Elias Koteas.
If there is one thing that Chicago P.D. demonstrated from the first moment that it debuted in January 2014, is that you never know how the story of a character could end, no matter how important it may be, although no one imagined that this would also be the case with Al Olinsky. Although in the course of its 9 seasons, fans of the famous One Chicago franchise show have gotten used to saying goodbye to some of its protagonists, what happened with the departure of actor Elias Koteas, was a fact that the public did not see come.
Featured on-screen from the first season, Olinsky was one of the most senior members of the Chicago Police Intelligence Unit and the best friend of the team’s head, Sergeant Hank Voight played by actor Jason Beghe. The character personified by Koteas was an important part of the series and won the admiration of the public until his tragic exit at the end of the fifth season, in a shocking scene that immediately provoked public protests and endless theories about why the writers They decided to remove him from the show.
For several episodes the audience began to suspect that Olinsky would have a terrible end, as indeed it did. Imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, he suffered an untimely death when he was stabbed multiple times in prison. Although he managed to survive until he was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, the attack would prove fatal. Given the rumors about whether the dismissal of the beloved character was due to a creative decision or if, on the contrary, it was some kind of insurmountable conflict between the artist and the production, the executive producer of Chicago P.D., Rick Eid, spoke about it.
“We thought that the possibility of losing his best friend became an interesting idea that we all graduated to, we could see this long arc in that direction,” the showrunner confessed.
In Eid’s opinion, sometimes through harrowing deaths, important turning points are marked in the continuity of the narrative that redirect benefits to the show. In the specific case of Alvin “Al” Olinsky, he explained that it was simply a decision made to continue other stories. So Koteas’ performance as an actor had nothing to do with it, so much so that the actor handled the news like a true professional and remained committed to the show and his character until the final take.
As a curious fact regarding the way they devised to close the Koteas character arc, although it was already known that simply Voight’s decision to kill his son’s murderer would sooner or later have consequences, and to the sadness of the followers of the show, that cost translated into the imprisonment and subsequent death of his best friend. Actually how he would die from a violent knife attack had not been decided until a week before they began filming the scene. | https://www.somagnews.com/chicago-pd-what-we-suspected-about-the-departure-of-one-of-the-main-characters/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:38Z |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said. | https://www.wwlp.com/washington-dc/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:39Z |

Labor has accused the federal government of stacking a workplace tribunal with "cronies" in the lead up to the federal election.
Industrial Relations Minister Michaelia Cash has declined to rule out making further appointments to the Fair Work Commission before the government enters caretaker mode, arguing it's still governing.
In a heated exchange during Senate estimates on Friday, Labor senator Louise Pratt pressed the minister on whether the government would appoint more "cronies" to the commission.

Senator Cash said the government was continuing to operate.
"That is a decision for government, and the government will make decisions as required," she said.
"I could not be clearer."
Senator Cash disagreed with Labor's claim the government had appointed "cronies" to the commission.
"These are highly qualified people with relevant expertise in the necessary area," she said.
"So I do reject the premise of your question."
On Friday, Senator Cash announced the appointments of a number of judges.
Two new FWC members were appointed in December.
A government official told the hearing there were currently 43 commissioners or higher level members, with funding for 44.
The election is due in May and could be called as early as next week.

BOSTON (AP) — After a 15-year career in which he etched his name on the Stanley Cup and the Vezina Trophy, Tuukka Rask is focusing now on avoiding the rink.
“Don’t even go there. Not yet,” the retired Bruins goalie said Thursday night when asked if his daughters had taken up hockey. “They’re into dance and whatnot. If I have to go and spend my days at hockey rinks, so be it. But not really at the top of my list.”
A two-time All-Star, and the winner of the 2014 Vezina as the NHL’s top goalie, Rask announced his retirement last month after a setback in his attempt to come back from a torn labrum in his hip. The Bruins invited him back to drop the ceremonial first puck before Thursday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils, and again – perhaps for the last time – the chants of “Tuuuuk!” echoed through the TD Garden.
Rask took the ice with his wife, and their three daughters dressed for a ballet class. He bumped fists with the players on the Bruins bench while both teams tapped their sticks on the ice to salute him.
“I don’t know what the future holds,” Rask told reporters beforehand, saying that he would be showing up at games and golf outings as a team ambassador. “Maybe I’ll get into coaching. Maybe not, but for now, I’ll be hanging out with sponsors.”
The franchise’s all-time leader in wins, Rask helped the Bruins allow the fewest goals in the NHL in the pandemic-interrupted 2019-20 season, when Boston finished with the most points in the league. He injured his hip during the 2021 playoffs and worked his way back to the team midway through this season.
But after just four starts, he aggravated his injury on Jan. 24 against the Anaheim Ducks. Two weeks later, he announced he was through.
“It was kind of time to be honest with yourself,” he said. “I just figured it was better for everybody to call it. I had a great career. No regrets.”
While his hip still has some good days, Rask said no one could talk him out of retirement. His immediate future will involve as much golf as he can squeeze in between shuttling his daughters to dance class and school.
He may need a hip replacement at some point.
“It was at a point where it affected my everyday life,” Rask said. “I’m a guy who makes pretty quick decisions, anyway. So I wasn’t dwelling on it too long.”
Rask was 308-165-66 with a 2.28 goals-against average and .921 save percentage in a franchise-leading 564 games. He was the backup goalie for the Bruins team that won it all in 2011, and he led the team to Stanley Cup Final appearances in 2013 and ’19.
Although coaching is not in his plans, Rask said he would be available if Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman wants him.

Cases of COVID-19 creeped up from the week before, according to the latest figures from the Gloucester Health Department, but the good news is there were no reports of residents currently hospitalized or newly deceased.
The Health Department said Wednesday there were 24 new cases from March 28 to 30, a 20% increase from March 17 to 20 when there were 20 new cases.
The department reported 18 active cases in the latest reporting period, up from 12 during last week’s reporting period. It previously reported seven new cases and seven active cases from Feb. 28 to March 2.
There have been 5,486 cases in the seaport, and 191 total hospitalizations. A database correction means there has been 84 COVID deaths to date. The four additional deaths to Gloucester’s total are not from those who died within the past 30 days.
The Health Department also reported that as of mid-March, 84% of Gloucester residents are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and 55% who are eligible have received a booster shot. Gloucester is above the statewide vaccination rate of 80% of Bay State residents who are fully vaccinated and 48% who have received a booster.

One of the joys of writing a garden column is the predictable abundance of websites, emails, catalogs and other promotional material that comes with the job. I recently received a document from the Home Garden Seed Association, HGSA, a trade group of sixty-five flower and vegetable seed companies. Formed within the last two decades, they produce a number of helpful sites for those who grow from seed, or ‘how nature grows’ according to their website. The HGSA document I received is a short course on regenerative gardening.
Regenerate means, broadly, to renew life or to bring new life – à la starfish that can grow a new limb. Applied to gardening, it means to restore life to the soil or to garden in a way that is healthy for the soil and not destructive. For centuries, farmers knew the value of mulching and composting and returning organic debris to the fields. The last one hundred years has seen great changes in agriculture as more demands are made on chemically-supported soils. Recently, due in part to the effects of the pandemic, more and more persons are turning to home gardening.
People are also reading…
I was pleased to see that the Home Garden Seed Association was promoting valuable practices, also encouraged by USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, that are easy to understand and also easy to apply in every garden.
First, encouraged by the HGSA, the gardener should plant lots of flowers and herbs amidst the vegetables to create a healthy plant ecosystem above ground as well as a robust soil food web beneath the soil. The value of this is obvious. Different flowers and herbs will draw many varieties of pollinators and beneficial insects. A variety of root systems (the primary plant’s as well as those of the flowers or herbs) ensures a robust and varied beneficial bacterial and micro-organism community in the rhizosphere.
Second, compost kitchen waste. Find the most simple, least expensive and least arduous method of composting that fits your garden’s needs and your ability. At its most basic, as soon as the weather allows, bury in shallow holes clean kitchen waste in the garden. Candidates for this effort would include used tea and coffee grounds, vegetable and fruit peels that have either been reduced to a slurry in a blender or food processor or chopped into small bits, and crushed egg shells. Fling used coffee grounds into the garden. This is fun to do rather dramatically because no one has the faintest idea what you are doing. Tuck teabags and coffee filters under the mulch. Create a compost unit from three 17 inch used tires. Stack the tires and site it for easy year-round access. Check YouTube for many suggestions for using tires. We have a stack of three tires between the rose bushes that has been ‘working’ all winter and will be ‘harvested’ this spring for compost to use when the tomatoes are planted.
Next, keep the soil covered either with year-round mulch or, if space allows, a cover crop. Remember that the life in the soil eats constantly and it needs to be well fed to produce healthy plants.
Importantly, disturb the soil as little as possible, and that means more than ‘Keep to the path’. Tilling or vigorous digging destroys the structure of the soil and it is this structure that allows the soil to breathe and creates air and water channels in the soil.
Although it may be a challenge emotionally to make the garden bird and insect friendly, the experiences of many gardeners, myself included, is that by inter-planting a variety of herbs, flowers, and vegetables, turning row crops into square foot gardens, each square filled with a variety of plants, and being aware of what’s happening in the garden can reduce the need for pesticide use significantly or totally.
One must ask: how can following these suggestions lead to healthy soil? Why do we keep talking about this ‘regenerative gardening.’ I would say we do this because healthy soil is our first and most important crop. And, at a minimum, if the least we do is return the garden debris to the soil as compost, we are well on our way of understanding and practicing regenerative and life restoring behavior in the garden.

Tony Hawk doesn't plan to ever stop skateboarding. ET's Kevin Frazier spoke with the 53-year-old athlete at the premiere of Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off, the documentary about his life and career, and Hawk said he's feeling "pretty good" three weeks after breaking his femur.
While the injury may lessen the public skateboarding Hawk does, it won't stop him from doing it altogether.
"If I’m able to stand on my own two feet then I want to ride a skateboard," Hawk, who used a cane at the premiere, said. "I might not be doing it in public so much going down the line. If I feel like my skills are truly fading then I won’t be doing it on a public level or at an exhibition mode, but I don’t make ultimatums."
"I’m 53. I truly felt like, before I broke my leg, I was skating almost better than ever or better than I have in the last 10 years," he added. "I want to get back to at least some form of that same level of skating."
That answer is no surprise to Sam Jones, the director of the HBO documentary.
"His brother said he's probably going to be the first 80-year-old to do a backside air, and I I completely believe it," Jones told ET. "He just loves it so much."
After putting his trust in Jones, a former skateboarder, to helm the doc, Hawk is more than pleased with the result.
"It's to show the reality of what it takes to do this through the years, the hardships that it requires and the sacrifices you have to make in a lot of ways, personally and professionally," Hawk explained. "People don’t understand [that] you don’t just get on a skateboard and you’re naturally gifted and then all the success falls on you. You've got to work your a** off. You've got to be willing to take the hits and get back up."
The doc is a culmination of Hawk's success, and a way for the athlete to shine a light on all the aspects of the sport.
"I’m honored, but it’s a big responsibility. I do feel I feel like I need to be mindful of that and I need to represent it well. It’s something that I’ve kind of taken upon myself," Hawk said of using his influence for good. "If people are going to put that on me, then I want to represent skateboarding authentically and show all sides of it, not just the glitz and the X Games and things like that, but the grit, and what it takes, and also the diversity. That’s something that’s overlooked too. If you go to a skate park now, it’s a melting pot of race, of gender, everyone’s down, everyone’s supporting each other. I don’t think there is any other sport like that."
Through the making of the doc, Hawk said he learned that "it's OK to be vulnerable." It's a message he wishes he could relay to his younger self.
"I think I would try to encourage myself to figure out my personal issues earlier rather than later, figure out how to deal with being uncomfortable, how to deal with lack of intimacy, the bigger picture stuff instead of hyper focusing on skating and letting that somehow solve all my problems," he said.
In addition to skateboarding, the doc focuses on Hawk's private and family lives, something that Jones thinks will be eye-opening to audiences.
"I think they'll be surprised at how conscientious he is about taking care of his family, and being a good father, and the way he wants everybody to have the experience that he's had with skateboarding," Jones told ET of Hawk, who's a dad of four. "He really cares about skateboarding having this long life after he's done skating. You really, really see it in the way he treats his family and other skaters."
Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off will premiere April 5 on HBO and HBO Max.

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

A Sessho-seki, or “killing stone,” was found cracked in half this month in Nikko National Park, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Tokyo.
No one knows exactly what caused the stone to crack, but the cold winter months could have contributed to the cracking, said Nick Kapur, an associate professor of history at Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey.
Each winter, water could have seeped into the crack, frozen, then expanded, he said. However, many look for guidance from the myth, he added.
There are multiple versions of the legend, but it was believed Tamamo-no-Mae, a nine-tailed fox spirit, lay trapped in the rock for nearly 900 years.
The tales all center around retired Emperor Toba, who reigned in Japan
from 1107 to 1123.
Tamamo-no-Mae was known for her shape-shifting abilities, so she transformed herself into a beautiful woman and caught the eye of the emperor, Kapur said.
As she grew closer to the emperor, he fell gravely ill, Kapur said. A court astrologer used divination to determine Tamamo-no-Mae was the culprit, he said.
Once her plan was foiled, she fled into the wilderness, changing shapes to try and stay hidden, he said. However, samurai sent after her eventually caught up to the fox spirit, Kapur said.
When one of the warriors shot her with an arrow, her physical form was killed, so her spirit transformed into a stone, he said.
Legend goes that if you touch the stone, you die, hence the name killing stone, Kapur said.
There is no proof of the stone’s supernatural abilities, but its unique location may have given substance to the rumors, said Yoshiko Okuyama, professor of Japanese studies at the University of Hawai?i at Hilo.
The stone is
near multiple volcanoes, so occasional gases that were released may have killed some animals or humans over the years, she said.
A spirit with a change of heart
The rock has become a top tourism site and skyrocketed in popularity, but it paled in comparison to the spirit’s fame, Okuyama said.
The fox spirit has made numerous appearances in modern Japanese media, often as the villain-turned-hero character, she said.
“More recent adaptations in manga and anime don’t want to portray women in a misogynistic way,” Okuyama said.
In older Japanese myths, the stories centered around evil female spirits out to undermine the power of males, Kapur said.
An omen for our time
After the stone cracked, people were quick to chime in on the timing of the breakage.
Many took the event as a bad omen, considering the pandemic and the war between Ukraine and Russia, Kapur said.
Others believed it was a good omen, saying she was released to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin and the war on Ukraine, he said.
“If you’re in the mood to take this negatively, you certainly can, but if you want to take a positive spin on it, maybe this fox spirit is going to help us out in our time of need,” Kapur said. | https://trinidadtribune.com/a-japanese-killing-stone-said-to-contain-an-evil-9-tailed-fox-spirit-has-split-in-two/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:43Z |

In this March 28, 2005, photo, a sign posted outside a water well indicates perchlorate contamination at the site in Rialto, Calif. Upholding a Trump-era environmental policy, the Environmental Protection Agency says it will not regulate the drinking water contaminant that has been linked to brain damage in infants. (AP Photo/Ric Francis, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

7 Pharmaceutical Stocks to Buy For a Healthy Portfolio in 2022One year ago, investors expected 2021 to be a huge year for pharmaceutical stocks. The bullish perspective was that as vaccines rolled out and the economy reopened, investors would shift from biotech stocks to traditional pharmaceutical stocks.
But the Delta variant has kept Covid-19 top of mind for many investors. While it’s true that some pharmaceutical stocks were part of the vaccine race, other players in the space have not performed as well as was hoped. Case in point, as of October 6, 2021, the iShares U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSEARCA:IHE) is up only 9.7% in the last 12 months. And if you bought shares of the fund at the beginning of the year, you have no growth to show for your patience.
There are reasons beyond Covid-19 to consider when assessing the disappointing performance of pharmaceutical stocks. One is the current political climate which is making no secret of its desire to reshape the healthcare industry. And it has the pricing practices of “big pharma” firmly in its crosshairs.
However, the pharmaceutical sector is still loaded with quality stocks for investors who are willing to accept the inherent risk. And that’s the focus of this special presentation. In the next few minutes, we’ll take a look at seven pharmaceutical stocks that
are ready to make strong moves forward in 2022.

As we come upon the close of International Women’s Month, we at the Emerald feel indebted to recognize three women who have been integral to the growth of our values and success. In the last eight years, the Emerald has come so far, and we know we could never have done it without so many of the amazing women on our team. But Cynthia “Mama” Green, Bridgette Hempstead, and Devin Chicras in particular deserve special recognition for their contributions. Green, Hempstead, and Chicras have been with us from day one, and we appreciate them beyond words.
Each of these women are powerhouses in their own right, doing work for both the Emerald and for community issues more widely in South Seattle. Hempstead has been involved since the beginning of the Emerald, back when our founder Marcus Green was still gathering resources and supporters through his own community to create our newspaper. Hempstead is a family friend of the Green family and has known Marcus since childhood.
“I watched Marcus grow up,” Hempstead said in an interview with the Emerald. “He always talked about what he wanted to do for the community, and look at this — look at what has happened now!”
Hempstead is the founder of Cierra Sisters, a breast cancer support and educational organization for Black women. As founder of a health-focused nonprofit, Hempstead does research, has been published in medical journals, and has created evidence-based educational tools for the community. She is driven by an understanding that despite high instances of breast cancer, the Black community still experiences low services and resources. To her, real, evidence-based knowledge is the best way to educate and support the Black community, especially as they have been mistreated by the health care system.
The organization’s name, Cierra, is from a word originating on the African continent that means “knowing.” To Hempstead, it signifies that if you have the knowledge, you have the power to fight against cancer. The Emerald holds a similar power in her eyes. As a South Seattle mother, Hempstead has raised three incredible daughters in Skyway and has seen them grow into women with booming careers who still give back to their communities. And yet, many of the stories she saw coming out about South Seattle in local media were negative. But the stories of the Emerald give people the power to know their communities better, to hear their own voices, and to fight against false narratives.
“Stories like these are empowering the community to really uplift their esteem and be proud of their community,” Hempstead said. “The Emerald has given a powerful voice to those who did not have a voice … because the community can bring their voice to the Emerald and have it heard. It won’t be ignored, and that makes a big difference.”
Chicras came to the Emerald as a volunteer, and has served on the Emerald’s board of directors since its founding in 2014. She was initially elected as vice president and has served as president from 2016 onward. Beyond her work with the Emerald, she is also the communications director for the City of Burien and a longtime community advocate and event organizer in the Skyway neighborhood.
A shared love of the South End and serving the community set Chicras and Emerald founder Marcus Harrison Green on a course to inevitably meet in 2013, at a volunteer event serving Thanksgiving dinner. The event, organized by the parents of a 12-year-old boy who lost his life to gun violence in Skyway, was intended to carry forward his spirit of community service and strengthen connections between neighbors.
Since then, Chicras has become an indispensable member of the Emerald team, through every trial and tribulation. She was there for late nights gathered in the meeting room at the Hillman City Collaboratory, trying to figure out how a volunteer working board could fill every role outside of the newsroom from accountant to HR manager, from development director to IT department, from executive director to events coordinator. She was there to make it work, and she has been here ever since.
“The milestones that stick out to me the most are often the quieter and less flashy ones,” Chicras said in an interview with the Emerald. “Like the times where we’ve been forced to stand at a crossroads between giving up and doubling down and chose to recommit ourselves to sprinting up rocky terrain to reach near-impossible goals — or the second the ink dried on our mission statement and list of values, giving further shared purpose and renewed dedication to our cause.”
Chicras feels that the Emerald owes its successes and thanks first to our community. “The Emerald is special because it doesn’t give up on our community, and they don’t give up on us,” Chicras said. She hopes the community keeps reading and joins the Emerald’s Rainmaker family.
Cynthia “Mama” Green is the mother of our founder Marcus, and without her, the Emerald might have just been an idea instead of a reality. When Marcus decided to found the Emerald, he moved back into her basement. She would help him transcribe his tape recordings of interviews, staying up with him until one or two in the morning so he could write.
But for Green, who is a retired social worker based in Skyway, Marcus’ vision spoke to her. She felt frustrated with reporting on their neighborhood and community, seeing pieces that were often negative rather than showcasing the community’s strengths. Green was raised in the Central District and has herself been recognized for her dedication to community work. The Renton Area Youth Services Family Center, where Green worked, was renamed the Cynthia A. Green Family Center in her honor in 2014. In that same year, King County Councilmember Larry Gossett proclaimed Sept. 6 to be Cynthia A. Green Day across the county.
Green recalls realizing the power of the Emerald after Michael Flowers, a Black man, was shot and killed in Renton, and a news article about it made it sound as if it was okay for him to be killed because he had been previously incarcerated. She and Marcus attended his memorial services and heard the story of a kind young man who was gracious to all his community members.
“There was another side of this man, but did [the media] care?” Green said in an interview with the Emerald. “And so I told Marcus as we left those services, ‘This is another reason I’m so glad that you did decide to start [the Emerald] because this gives us an opportunity to paint the other side of the coin, to show the other side of this man.’”
Since its early days, Green has pushed the Emerald to tell stories bravely and truthfully and has seen a community grow from that. “It makes me feel proud to know that people trust us,” Green said. “The readers, the people who have dedicated their time to the Emerald and who have supported Marcus … My heart just really swells up because I’m so grateful because we couldn’t have come this far. We have to always remember that we couldn’t have come this far without dedicated people.”
Hempstead, Chicras, and Green don’t just exemplify the values of the Emerald — they have lived them and shaped them since day one at the Emerald and even long before that. We couldn’t be more grateful to and for these women and what they have done for us and the South Seattle community.

Oscars producer says police offered to arrest Will Smith
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.”

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.
Video below: NY struggles to get rent relief to hurting tenants
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.wvtm13.com/article/rent-relief-prevent-million-evictions/39602016 | 2022-04-01T01:35:44Z |
Chiliz (CHZ) previously announced on Twitter that a new development was coming, pointing to March 31. Chiliz even set up a counter, adapting his website accordingly. The date has arrived and explanations have been made. Chiliz plans to breathe new life into the crypto world with its new Scoville blockchain.
The New Scoville Blockchain
CHZ, the local Socios fan token, already allows fans to express their opinions when making important decisions for their team. CHZ owners vote for their team’s T-shirt colors, team anthems and many other decisions. With this blockchain update, Chiliz plans to launch a selected, scalable and semi-centralized blockchain application for startups and corporate sports organizations.
Scoville aims to lay the foundation for a secure web3 ecosystem protocol based on the network effect in the world of sports and entertainment. With this update, CHZ aims to provide investors with direct access to global brands and create their own projects taking into account the existing fan token base.
Benefits for fans and investors
In this way, fans and investors can use this user-oriented platform, which can be adapted for optimal scalability. The CHZ website also states that support was received from ANKR for this upgrade of the blockchain infrastructure. With the update, investors can also cooperate with companies from the white list. These companies, both centralized and decentralized, will also offer investors the freedom to create products and platforms. In other words, thanks to this development, fans and investors not only receive fan tokens and vote for their team, but also have an environment in which they can manage their own projects.
All over the world, this sport is already being promoted with a large market share. With this move, Chiliz wants fans to be able to capitalize on this trend and experience the integration of digital asset exchange with CHZ. This will not only strengthen the relationship between sports and cryptography, but also increase the adoption of cryptography in the industry. However, the most important event at this stage is to provide investors with the opportunity to produce products in this market and expand cooperation. | https://www.somagnews.com/chiliz-chz-announces-a-new-blockchain-what-awaits-investors/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:45Z |

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says the threat posed by St Kilda spearhead Max King won't sway him from using swingman Noah Balta at the opposite end of the ground in their AFL clash.
Premiership defender Balta has impressed in attack this season, kicking six goals across the opening two rounds.
He combined well with Tom Lynch against GWS last week in the absence of veteran forward Jack Riewoldt, who has been named to return from a thumb injury against the Saints at the MCG on Sunday.

"We know what we've got with Noah down back but we wanted to see what he could be and we've really enjoyed what he's brought," Hardwick said.
"He's a powerful man, a great contested mark and he's a great kick at goal as well.
"At this stage we'll settle him down up forward for this week but that's not to say that in the upcoming weeks he won't swing down back at various stages."
King's dominant third-quarter showing against Fremantle last week was crucial in St Kilda claiming their first win of the season.
The 21-year-old, now in his third full season after injuries ruined his rookie year, booted four goals in a performance that made the rest of the competition take notice.
Balta is arguably the Tigers' best physical match-up for King but Hardwick will try his other options first.
"He's an incredible talent, Max. He's getting better and better every year we see him play," Hardwick said.
"But we're really confident with Robbie (Tarrant), Josh Gibcus and Dylan Grimes ... that one of those players will be able to fill the role and negate him as best they can.
"He's going to take some marks, he's going to kick some goals - that's what the very best players do.
"We've got to make sure we manage that as best we can and keep it to a relatively low total."
Riewoldt and Grimes, who missed last week because of soreness, both took part in the Tigers' light training session at Punt Road on Friday.
Meanwhile, Richmond superstar Dustin Martin is no closer to returning from personal leave.
Martin has been away from the club since last week as he grieves the death of his father, Shane, last December.
"We have no further update at this stage. It's still at the same stage that we had last (week)," Hardwick said.
"We give him time and we wish him all the very best, and we can't wait to welcome him back at some stage.
"When that is, we're not too sure."
Hardwick chose not to disclose further details, brushing off questions about whether Martin is training while away from the club.
"I appreciate that everyone does want to know where we're at but we'll keep our cards pretty close to our chest," Hardwick said.

The man's name has not yet been released.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women's college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I ... am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey's response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.
“It's quite shocking that he can't even address trans people or even say that he thinks they exist,” Bridget Sharpe said.
Wednesday's signing of the two transgender bills and a third that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and is currently unconstitutional put Ducey right in the middle of two top issues national Republicans are highlighting in the runup to November's midterm elections.
Ducey also signed election legislation that minority Democrats said amounted to voter suppression by requiring longtime Arizonans to be thrown off the voter rolls if they did not prove their citizenship and residence location.
The governor leads the Republican Governors Association, which is charged with helping elect GOP chief executives in U.S. states. He in is the last year of his second term as Arizona governor and term limits bar him from seeking reelection.
The top Democrat in the state House, Rep. Reginald Bolding, called Wednesday “probably one of the darkest days we've seen in the history of Arizona."
“With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ducey has hurled Arizona backwards to its ugliest past,” Bolding said Wednesday. “And today, he put in jeopardy pregnant people, transgender youth in danger and curtailed voting rights for people of color.”
Social conservative groups and the Arizona Republican Party praised Ducey's action. The Center for Arizona Policy, whose president shepherded the abortion and women's sports bills through the Legislature, called it a victory.
"Thank you, Governor Ducey, for taking a bold stand for women athletes, vulnerable children, and the unborn by putting your signature on (the bills) in the face of intense opposition from activists," Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod said in a news release she posted on Twitter.
She said the legislation protects the unborn, ensures a level playing field for female athletes and shows that “Arizona will do everything it can to protect vulnerable children struggling with gender confusion” by enacting the surgery ban.
Ducey said the surgery ban protects children from irreversible decisions.
“These are permanent surgeries of reassignment that are irreversible, and those discussions can happen once adulthood is reached,” he said.
The American Civil Liberties Association has vowed to sue over the surgery ban. U.S. Supreme Court precedent currently says women have a constitutional right to abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, although it is considering whether to uphold a 15-week ban enacted in Mississippi and may overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision enshrining a woman's right to choose.
Arizona joins 13 other states in enacting laws preventing transgender girls and women from playing on girls teams. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a transgender sports ban in his state, saying it would harm transgender girls, but the Legislature overrode the veto. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb also vetoed a sports bill, but lawmakers hope to override his action as well. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Arizona-governor-won-t-say-transgender-people-17049806.php | 2022-04-01T01:35:50Z |

Boxing-Kambosos to fight Haney for undisputed lightweight title in June
MELBOURNE, April 1 (Reuters) - Australian George Kambosos and American Devin Haney will fight for the undisputed lightweight championship of the world at Melbourne's Docklands Stadium on June 5, organisers announced on Friday.
Kambosos, who won four of the world lightweight belts with his stunning upset of Teofimo Lopez in New York last November, had insisted he would defend his titles on home soil.
The 28-year-old had been in negotiations to fight Ukrainian Vasiliy Lomachenko in his first defence but those plans were scuppered when the former champion elected to stay at home and help defend his country against the Russian invasion.
"It is good to be back home, five years I've been on the road, five years I've been doing it tough," Kambosos told a news conference at Docklands Stadium.
"There were only two names I ever asked for for this fight, Lomachenko and Devin Haney. Unfortunately, Lomachenko's not available. Beautiful, Devin Haney step up, now we'll take your belt."
Haney (27-0) has held the World Boxing Council title since 2019, successfully defending it four times.
"I'm so grateful for this opportunity, I can't wait," the 23-year-old said by video link from the United States.
"It's going to be a hell of a fight and there will finally be a king of the division."
The bout will take place at the 53,000-capacity venue on Sunday afternoon Australian time, allowing it to be broadcast in prime time on June 4 in North America.
Kambosos (20-0) can expect strong backing in the stadium from his fellow Greek-Australians. Melbourne boasts the largest Greek population of any city in the world outside Greece.

The last Russian troops left the Chernobyl nuclear plant early Friday, according to the Ukrainian government agency responsible for the exclusion zone around the plant.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russian troops who dug trenches in the forest were exposed to radiation, but that could not be confirmed.
The Ukrainian nuclear operator company Energoatom said Thursday that Russian troops were headed toward Ukraine’s border with Belarus.
Energoatom said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.

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

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

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

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

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

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday said there’s “no clear evidence” that Vladimir Putin is scaling back military operations around Kyiv and suggested that the Russian president may have ordered some of his advisers fired or placed under house arrest.
Biden told reporters that “there’s some indication” that Putin has taken those steps against some of his advisers. He added, “But I don’t want to put too much stock in that at this time because we don’t have that much hard evidence.”
The White House on Wednesday released unclassified intelligence findings that Putin is being misinformed by his advisors about how badly the Russian military is performing.
The president made the comments after formally announcing that the U.S. would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve in hopes of easing surging gasoline prices.
Biden also reiterated that his administration remains skeptical that Russia will scale back operations around Kyiv as Moscow announced earlier this week.
Russian forces continued to shell Kyiv suburbs Thursday, two days after the Kremlin announced it would significantly scale back operations near both the capital and the northern city of Chernihiv.

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine says the United Nations and its partners have delivered supplies for thousands of people in the country’s northeast but have been unable to reach some encircled cities in the south.
Osnat Lubrani said Thursday that food rations from the humanitarian organization People in Need and the U.N. World Food Program will benefit nearly 6,000 people in Sumy and areas including Trostianets and Okhtyrka.
In addition, she said, basic household items including blankets and kettles from the U.N. refugee agency will support 1,500 people and sanitation kits will help 6,000 people with hygiene and drinking water.
Lubrani said medical supplies and trauma kits from the U.N. World Health Organization will treat 150 patients needing intensive care for serious injuries while other medical supplies will support 10,000 people for three months.
Shei said the U.N.-facilitated humanitarian notification system with Ukraine and Russia enabled safe passage for the convoy to Sumy on Thursday “but this is clearly not enough.” Efforts over the past month to reach Mauripol, Kherson and other encircled cities in the south have been unsuccessful because of safety concerns.
___
BERLIN — The U.N. nuclear watchdog says its director-general has arrived in Russia’s Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad for talks with senior Russian officials.
The International Atomic Energy Agency didn’t specify in a tweet whom exactly Rafael Mariano Grossi will meet on Friday or give further details of his agenda.
He arrived in Kaliningrad Thursday following a visit to Ukraine, where he visited a nuclear power plant and conferred with the energy minister and other officials on efforts to ensure the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants.
Ukraine has 15 active nuclear reactors at four plants -- one of which, at Zaporizhzhia, is under the Russian military’s control.
___
GENEVA — A team with the International Committee of the Red Cross has arrived in a Ukraine-held city where staff are preparing to take civilians out of the beleaguered port city of Mariupol.
Julien Lerisson, deputy director of operations for the ICRC, said Thursday that the team assembling in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, has medicines, food, water, hygiene items and other essentials.
He said the organization has high-level agreement for the mission but is focused on making sure “the order trickles down the chain of command,” allowing the team to enter and leave Mariupol safely.
The Russian military has said it committed to a cease-fire along the route from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian authorities have said 45 buses would be sent to collect citizens and provide resources to those who remain.
Lucile Marbeau, a staff member with the ICRC team hoping to enter Mariupol, said on Thursday: “We’re here because really, we hope to be able to facilitate safe passage for civilians desperately wanting to flee Mariupol.”
___
LONDON — Britain’s defense minister says Ukraine’s international allies have agreed to send more military equipment, including artillery ammunition and armored vehicles.
U.K. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace held a conference call Thursday with defense ministers from more than 35 countries, including the United States, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.
Wallace said that as a result “there will be more lethal aid going into Ukraine.” He said that would include “more long-range artillery, ammunition predominantly,” to help counter Russia’s bombardment of Ukraine’s cities.
Wallace said Ukraine was “also looking for armoured vehicles of some types, not tanks necessarily, but certainly protective vehicles.”
He said allies were also “looking to see what more we can do” to help Ukraine defend its coastline.
___
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has sanctioned an employee of a state-affiliated Russian defense firm that developed malicious software that was used to target the energy sector.
The Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned Evgeny Viktorovich Gladkikh. He was one of four Russians charged in Justice Department indictments unsealed last week that alleged the hacking by Russia of critical infrastructure around the globe, including in the U.S. energy and aviation sectors.
Among the thousands of computers targeted in some 135 countries were of a Saudi petro-chemical plant where the hackers overrode safety controls.
That hack is singled out in a Treasury Department release announcing sanctions against Gladikh and several other employees of the research firm. In total, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced that it was designating 21 entities and 13 individuals, including in the aerospace, marine and electronics sectors.

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

7 ESG Stocks that are Leading the Way to a Better WorldIt's becoming increasingly popular for investors to "vote their values." One way they do this is by investing in companies that make a demonstrable effort to improve the world. This is creating a category of stocks known as ESG stocks.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance and it covers a broad range of issues. The environmental component is relatively straightforward. This analyzes and measures how companies address issues such as carbon emissions, deforestation, and green energy initiatives including sustainability efforts built into their supply chain.
The social component covers issues such as an organization's commitment to issues like the gender pay gap and diversity but also areas such as data security, sexual harassment policies, and fair labor practices. The governance component touches on areas like diversity within the corporate board of directors and executive pay.
The focus of this presentation is to give you seven companies that are giving more than just lip service to ESG initiatives. One of the criteria used in selecting the stocks in this presentation was the company's Net Impact Ratio. This is calculated from data produced by the Upright Project's Net Impact Model.
The Net Impact Model is a mathematical model of the economy that produces continuously updated estimates of the net impact of companies by means of an information integration algorithm. MarketBeat captures key insights and presents them under the "Sustainability" tab on the company's profile page.

For much of the past three quarters of a century, the U.S. intelligence community has had one job that was more important than all others: assessing the capabilities of the Russian military. In all that time, the most significant deployment of that military is what we have seen during the past month, as part of the invasion of Ukraine.
While U.S. intelligence has gotten a lot right associated with this war, like virtually every other country in the world, we have been surprised that Russia has been so strikingly unsuccessful in achieving its initial goals since the current operation began on Feb. 24.
Many (including those in Moscow, judging from the current logistical issues Russian forces are facing) expected Russia to achieve air and sea superiority hastily which, in turn, would give Russia a big advantage in pursuing its objectives on the ground.
Clearly, that has not happened. Over a month into the invasion Russia still has not achieved air superiority, most of its major ground offensives are stalled, and Russian troops have been pushed back in key locations, including around the outskirts of Kyiv. There is now talk that Russia will be narrowing its military goals.
This raises the question: If the intelligence community was so successful at predicting the invasion, as well as key Russian tactics, how did it get this core question that has been so central to its mission so wrong?
Or did it?
Sources familiar with senior levels of the Biden national security team suggest that it was not so much that Western intel was wrong about Russia’s capabilities, as it was that the response of Ukraine and the NATO alliance was so much more effective than expected. There is also a belief among some in the administration that the real problem was not Western intelligence being off but, rather, it was Russia that got it wrong—from underestimating the Ukrainian and Western responses to the invasion, to a Russian plan that is now regarded as profoundly ill-conceived.
General Mark Hertling, former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe observed, “Our intelligence failure was not so much in our read of Russian capabilities, but rather how terribly inept, incompetent and corrupt the Russian government and military has become...beyond any of our wildest dreams.” Hertling added that among those who did anticipate the poor performance of the Russians and the effectiveness of the Ukrainians were military professionals—who were attentive to issues like training, the treatment of conscripts, the quality of non-commissioned officers and other factors that loom large for those “who were well-versed in issues like training, exercises, operational art, tactics and leadership.”
Having said that, many experts believe that the faulty expectations of many in the West are based on what is considered an enduring major blind spot for intelligence organizations. They are just not very good at evaluating intangibles—whether they concern the will of the people of Ukraine (or the lack thereof among Russian fighters), Moscow’s hubris, or the level of incompetence of the military leaders of the fading superpower.
Former Supreme Allied Commander in Europe Admiral James Stavridis said, “It is relatively easy to measure the hard metrics of war—how far does a missile shoot, how fast is a jet, how hardened in the armor on a tank. It is far more difficult to measure what's in the human heart—the fighting spirit of the Ukrainians, the weak morale of the Russians, the deep level of corruption in the Russian arms industry.”
Starvidis added: “But the intelligence community needs to review its assessments going back a decade and more, in terms of Russian capabilities—with an eye toward measuring what's in the human heart as well as they assess the hard facts of weapons systems. It is a far more difficult task, but doing so successfully is critical to our national security.”
Intelligence community leaders agree with this assessment.
Former chairman of the National Intelligence Council Gregory Treverton described the importance of dealing with this challenge: “The things that matter most in actual battle are the intangibles: how good are their soldiers and, critically, how prepared are they to fight…In the case of both Iraq and Afghanistan, what looked like formidable forces we had trained just melted. They didn't fight. In Ukraine, it seems that many of the [Russian] conscripts had no idea why they were fighting, and maybe even where they were. We used to say during the Cold War that if war broke out on the central front we would learn a lot in the first hour about these intangibles. I think that's the main story here, but I have also thought for a long time that the Russian army—given the country's economy—had to be a lot thinner than it was usually assessed.”
Former Director of National Intelligence General James Clapper has given this matter a great deal of thought over “the past 50 plus years.”
“Neither intelligence nor the military has ever succeeded in assessing the intangible of ‘will to fight,’” argued Clapper. Clapper illustrated the point by observing that in Southeast Asia, “We profoundly underestimated the ‘will to fight’ of the Viet Cong/North Vietnamese, and conversely, profoundly over-estimated the ‘will to fight’ of the South Vietnamese” and that we made similar errors in Iraq and Afghanistan, underestimating the will to fight of enemies and overestimating that of allies.
In Ukraine, Clapper asserts, “We overestimated the ‘will to fight’ of the Russians, and under-estimated the ‘will to fight’ of the Ukrainians. Some of this arose from the decades-long reform of the Russian military (better equipment which we could count and measure), and the lackluster performance of the Ukrainians in 2014. But, those are secondary factors, not the real explanation. When the Russians actually embarked on a real-world large military operation, all their weaknesses became obvious—poor leadership, poor logistics, poor command and control, poor planning—all of which affect the will to fight of their individual soldiers and the units they are organized into.”
Clapper suggests that the same challenges exist when assessing what makes a motivated, effective fighting force. “If there is an ideology, a narrative that fighters genuinely believe in, they will fight—individually and as a group. What our historic clients and now the Russians have in common is the absence of a cause they understand and believe in.”
As a result, Clapper, like other experts with whom I spoke, believe it is “impossible to gauge in advance how a fighting force either at the individual soldier or unit level will perform in combat. There is an old saw in intelligence about the difference between secrets and mysteries. Secrets are knowable facts, which ultimately are collectable. Mysteries are abstractions that nobody knows. Too often, the IC (intelligence community) is expected to ‘know’ both with equal clarity. The IC is not clairvoyant. ‘Will to fight’ falls into the mystery category. What the IC should always do when asked to make such assessments is provide a judgment, subject to change when two fighting forces collide. Until then, take our assessment with a grain of salt. And, if we could have, we’d have figured this out a long time ago. I know; I’ve tried.”
In an excellent piece for the The Atlantic, Phillips Payson O’Brien of Scotland’s University of St. Andrew attempts to identify where so many analysts went wrong. He comes to a similar conclusion to many of the experts with whom I spoke, but makes the additional point that too great an emphasis on the quality of a military’s technology and equipment is also a trap. He wrote, “you must analyze not only its equipment and doctrine but also its ability to undertake complex operations, its unglamorous but crucial logistical needs and structure, and the commitment of its soldiers to fight and die in the specific war being waged.”
An unspoken but important aspect of this view is that both overestimation of the capabilities of an enemy and of the value of modern weapons systems serves the interests of the “military-industrial complex” about which President Dwight Eisenhower—the American president who best understood modern warfare—warned. Such views lead to bigger defense budgets when careful analysis of factors such as those cited above might have the opposite effect.
Naturally, until we are better able to assess all the factors relevant to assessing the capabilities of both our allies and enemies, the main conclusions we can draw are that we need a greater focus on both the mundane, like training and logistics, and on intangibles like the will to fight, competence and morale. We also need a great deal more humility.
As the famed military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz wrote in 1832 his book On War: "Many intelligence reports in war are contradictions, even more are false, and most are uncertain. What one can reasonably ask of an officer is that he should possess a standard of judgment, which he can gain only from knowledge of the actions of men and affairs, and from common sense." | https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-the-us-intelligence-community-blew-it-with-russia?source=articles&via=rss | 2022-04-01T01:35:51Z |

Situation involving THP shuts down I-40 in Fayette County

Right now, all eastbound lanes are blocked and the exit ramp is closed, along with both shoulders.

I can’t stop watching! Ever since Chris Pine swapped his trusty clamshell for an iPhone, he can’t tear himself away from the headlines about Kim Kardashian’s affair with Pete Davidson.
“I had a clamshell phone for four [or] three years, and then I just got an iPhone because I felt beaten up because of how difficult it was to be an analog,” the 41-year-old “Wonder Woman” star admitted on Wednesday, March 30. An appearance on Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “It was very difficult, but after I just got this crack machine, it’s really bad.”
He continued: “It’s all very, very, very bad. I can go back to the cot immediately. I don’t know if I can handle it. I don’t know if my soul can stand it.”
Pine said that in his spare time he read “a lot of books” until the iPhone appeared in his life. “I’ve been fucking killing these books, only 15 books in three months, and then [my iPhone] shows up and I can tell you everything about Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian,” he joked. “[And] not a damn thing about literature.”
Although Horowitz tried to point out that the “Princess Diaries 2” actor now has access to Wordle, TikTok and a host of other apps, he visibly groaned. “F—k you,— Pine jokingly said. “I just want to throw up. I hate myself. Such self-loathing.”
The California native was an avid clamshell proponent before switching to his new smartphone.
“I have a clamshell phone,” Pine said during an appearance on “Good Morning America” in May 2017. “An upside—down world is a whole world that you need to get into. I’ll tell you what, let’s start: I recently got a record player and a clamshell phone. I like simplifying down. I just like the simple, I just like the uncomplicated, I don’t want to be tied up so much.”
He was joking: “I do not know if you remember how T9? For example, do you remember when you had to do this thing with T9, wow!”
While Pine didn’t have much time to catch up on his reading list, he became the latest star to discuss the latest milestones in the relationship between the 41-year-old Skims mogul and the 28-year-old star of the Saturday Night Live show. in October 2021, after her debut on SNL, a month later they confirmed their romance. Davidson even got several tattoos—and stamped her name on his chest—in honor of his girlfriend.
“He has some tattoos, some cute ones that he did [for me],” Kardashian said during an interview on the Ellen DeGeneres show earlier this month. “I think my favorite, he says [on his collarbone], “My girlfriend is a lawyer.” And it’s really cute.”
The mother of four —she shares North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2, with estranged husband Kanye West — continued: “That’s what tattoo artists do. They do tattoos about what’s going on in my life, so I thought: “Am I something special?” | https://www.somagnews.com/chris-pine-says-hes-only-been-reading-about-kim-kardashian-and-pete-davidson-since-he-bought-an-iphone-joking-i-hate-myself/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:51Z |

Shane Warne’s former fiancee Liz Hurley has issued a public show of support to his children after missing the cricket legend’s private funeral and public memorial.
Hurley, who was engaged to Warne in 2011, was unable to make it to Australia and did not feature in Wednesday night’s service at the MCG.
But the English actress appears to have been among the many millions around the world watching on television and is now planning a timely reunion with Warne’s children.

“Your speech was magical,” Hurley wrote to Warne’s oldest daughter, Brooke.
“I love you and see you soon. SW23 FOREVER.”
Eddie McGuire noted on Thursday that Hurley and one unnamed identity were missing from the video tributes.
“Elizabeth, like another major star and close friend, found it too emotional to encapsulate their feelings into a 30-second grab,” the host told News Corp.
“She had sent out wonderful tributes and she and we didn’t want to diminish her grief and love of the Warne family by doing so.”
Hurley mourned Warne following his death on March 4 with photos from their engagement.
“I feel like the sun has gone behind a cloud forever. RIP my beloved Lionheart,” she wrote.
A post announcing she could not make it to Melbourne for Warne’s private funeral last month showed her continued grief.
“It still hasn’t really sunk in that he’s gone,” Hurley wrote.
“It seems too cruel that all the people who loved him will never have another Lion hug, but our memories will live forever.”
She also celebrated Brooke and Summer on International Women’s Day, six days after their father’s death.
Meanwhile, Warne’s children Brooke and Jackson have shared emotional statements thanking friends and fans for sharing in “the most extraordinary night” at the MCG.
“I am so lucky to have the most amazing brother Jackson, sister Summer and mum Simone Callahan,” she wrote on Thursday.
“Jackson, Summer and I will continue our dad’s legacy and he will always live on through us. Gone but never, ever, EVER forgotten.
“We couldn’t be prouder to be his children. Love you dad.”
Brooke said unveiling the Shane Warne Stand with her siblings was the highlight, while Jackson called it an honour.
“It’s a memory I’ll cherish forever,” he wrote.
Warne’s only son issued a touching message to his sisters.
“Brooke and Summer, I’m so proud of you both,” he said of their speeches on the night.
“You spoke so well and I know Dad would’ve been so proud of you guys. You did great.”

A brain disorder that leads to problems with speaking, reading and writing has sidelined actor Bruce Willis and drawn attention to a little-known condition that has several possible causes.
A stroke, tumor, head injury or other damage to the language centers of the brain can cause aphasia. Infection of the brain or Alzheimer’s disease can trigger it.
Former US Representative Gabby Giffords, who was injured in the 2011 shooting, has aphasia from that injury.
The National Aphasia Association estimates that 2 million Americans are affected and about 180,000 acquire the disorder each year. Willis’ family announced Wednesday that the 67-year-old actor had been diagnosed with aphasia, but did not provide any details about a possible cause.
For an actor, aphasia can become a major challenge…

Washington [US], April 1 (ANI): As Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is on a two-day official visit to India, the US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price on Thursday (local time) said that every country has its own relationship with Moscow and Washington is not seeking any change in that.
"Different countries are going to have their own relationship with the Russian Federation. It's a fact of history. It's a fact of geography. That is not something that we are seeking to change," Price said during a press briefing.
He continued by saying, "What we are seeking to do, whether it is in the context of India or other partners and allies around the world, is to do all we can to see to it that the international community is speaking in unison, speaking loudly against this unjustified, unprovoked premeditated aggression, calling for an end to the violence using the leverage that countries including India, have to those ends."
Price made these remarks amid Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to India. He is expected to meet and hold talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar today.
"...We understand that what we are asking for, what we are calling for is that all countries use the leverage that they have to make sure that that message is coming across to Vladimir Putin loud and clear," he said.
While answering India working out any rupee-rouble conversion for trade, Price said, "I would refer to our Indian partners when it comes to any such rupee-ruble conversion that may have been discussed."
Price further said, "When it comes to the Quad, one of the core principles of the Quad is the idea of a free and open Indo Pacific that is specific in that context to the Indo Pacific, but these are principles. These are ideals that transcend any geographic region."
"It's not in our interest. It's not in Japan's, Australia's, or India's interest to see flagrant examples of countries whether in Europe, whether in the Indo Pacific, whether anywhere in between, of countries flouting, violating rules-based international order," he added.
Russia launched its invasion on February 24 after recognizing the Ukrainian breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as "independent republics." Russia has since continued to maintain that the aim of its operations has been to "demilitarize" and "de-nazify" the country.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many Western nations and European countries have imposed tough sanctions on Russia targeting its economy and financial system.
