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

Russell Knox (65) grabs Texas Open lead with Masters berth in mind
Scotland's Russell Knox used a string of four consecutive birdies on the back nine to post a 7-under-par on 65 Thursday, good for a one-shot lead in the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio.
Knox hit 12 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens in regulation to take the pole position ahead of Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard, who shot a 6-under 66.
Four players -- Matt Kuchar, Denny McCarthy, J.J. Spaun and England's Aaron Rai -- are tied for third at 67.
If the winner of the Texas Open is not already qualified for the Masters, he would be awarded a spot in the field in next week's first major of the season. Knox is among those who would secure the Masters invite with a win.
"I would love to win and get to play next week," Knox said. "That's obviously why I'm here and everyone should be playing. I know my game is good, so I've got to keep playing and see if I can have a great finish."
Knox used strong iron play to give himself three birdie putts shorter than 10 feet from Nos. 12 to 14. Then, at the par-4 15th, he tapped it downhill from the edge of the fringe and managed to hit the middle of the flagstick from 17 1/2 feet.
"Hit a beautiful drive down there, hit 6-iron just over the back and was able to get that in from (17) feet from the fringe," Knox said. "That was one of those kind of bonus birdies that you need when you're going to have a good day."
Two of Knox's seven worldwide wins have come on the PGA Tour, but he hasn't won stateside since August 2016.
While Knox carded seven birdies and no bogeys, Hojgaard had a more up-and-down day that began on the back nine. He got a 39-foot eagle putt to drop at the par-5 18th hole and made the turn in 6-under 30. After spending time at 8 under following birdies at Nos. 1 and 6, he was all over the place at the par-4 ninth and finished with a double bogey.
"I didn't feel like I hit that bad of a tee shot, (but) I had to chip sideways back into the fairway," Hojgaard said. "Had I think 133 meters to the flag, just was a little too aggressive with that shot. Yeah, short-sided myself and I didn't get up and down and suddenly you walk away with double bogey. Yeah, that was a bit annoying, but it happens."
Kuchar started on the back nine and sank four birdies in a five-hole stretch for a hot start. He cooled down with two birdies and one bogey over his final nine. The 43-year-old is in the hunt for his 10th PGA Tour title and his first since 2019.
"This course is one of my favorites out on Tour," Kuchar said. "There's a lot of ... good and bad that can happen here. I feel like this place really punishes the bad shots, but it's a type of course that it rewards good quality shots."
Spaun was 1 over through seven holes before holing out from 87 yards for eagle at the par-5 eighth. That got him back under par and propelled him to 5 under. McCarthy also managed an eagle, his coming at the par-5 14th on an 12-foot putt.
Defending champion Jordan Spieth, a Texas native, opened with an even-par 72, as did Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland and Rickie Fowler. Bryson DeChambeau and England's Lee Westwood turned in rounds of 1-over 73, and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama shot a 2-over 74.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel says it has hired Caitlyn Jenner as a contributor, with her first appearance set for Thursday on Sean Hannity’s program.
Jenner, the former Olympic decathlete, ran an unsuccessful campaign for California governor last year. The network said she’ll offer commentary and analysis across various Fox News Media platforms.
“Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all,” said Suzanne Scott, Fox News Media CEO. “She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.”
Jenner won the Olympic gold medal in the decathlon in 1976. She later came out as a transgender and identifies as a female.
She said in a statement she was “humbled by this unique opportunity” to speak directly to Fox’s audience. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/entertainment-news/fox-news-hires-caitlyn-jenner-as-contributor-and-commentator/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:05Z |
After Timbiriche’s interpreter, sasha sokol break the silence and point out abuse to the controversial producer, Louis of Llanothe former Televisa worker finally decided to talk about the issue and accuses the singer’s statements and the media of being false.
In a one-page spread release, the legendary producer and creator of groups such as Timbiriche, Kabah and Garibaldi, points out false accusations which were released by the media since March 8, 2022, this after Sasha pointed out De Llano Macedo for abuse.
“I apologize to Sasha if she felt any offense with my comments and also for having made public information that concerns exclusively the private sphere of two people.”
LOUIS DE LLANO
De Llano refers that his love affair with Sashain which he was 39 years old and she was only 14, was always open and transparent on her part and her family.
“In my life I have always conducted myself with the truth, I have not committed any crime nor have I acted immorally. At all times and under all circumstances we reciprocally offer each other respect, company, empathy, love and understanding.”
LOUIS DE LLANO
Benny Ibarra’s uncle closes his statement stating that it is all he will express on the matter. The text is given in the midst of rumors of separation from his wife, as a well-known entertainment magazine stated that Luis de Llano’s wife would have asked for a divorce after the truth behind his relationship with Sasha was revealed. Sokol.
What happened?
The scandal exploded for the renowned producer after offering an interview to Yordi Rosado in which he confessed intimate moments of his romance with Sasha. Despite the fact that the singer was a minor at the time of the romance, Luis de Llano expressed that he was very much in love with the member of Timbiriche.
These statements led the interpreter of “Rueda mi mente” to share an extensive statement within the framework of International Women’s Dayin which she stated that Luis de Llano abused her when she was a minor, and abused her now by continuing to talk about the romance they had without having any respect for her.
Via his Twitter thread, Sasha narrated that this episode of her life marked her forever, in addition to causing psychological trauma and problems in her family and friendship environment. The romance that lasted for four years left Sasha with consequences that had to work in psychological therapy.

A change of heart. The Razzie Awards have walked back their decision to continue their “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in 2021” award following the actor’s recent health issues.
“After much thought and consideration, the Razzies have made the decision to rescind the Razzie Award given to Bruce Willis, due to his recently disclosed diagnosis,” cofounders John Wilson and Mo Murphy said in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, March 31. “If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie.”
The comical take on the Academy Awards, also known as the Golden Raspberry Awards, faced backlash for their initial response to concerns about the trophy.
“The Razzies are truly sorry for #BruceWillis diagnosed condition. Perhaps this explains why he wanted to go out with a bang in 2021. Our best wishes to Bruce and family,” the Twitter account for the awards show tweeted on Wednesday, March 30. “To clarify, we heard about Willis’ diagnosis at the same time everyone else did … just this morning.”
Earlier that day, Willis’ loved ones announced that the Armageddon star, 67, would be “stepping away” from his acting career. “As a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia,” an Instagram statement from Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and his children read on Wednesday. “As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”
The social media post noted that his medical diagnosis has been “impacting his cognitive abilities” in recent years. “This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support,” his family concluded. “We are moving through this as a strong family unit and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.”
That same day, Wilson and Murphy addressed the negative feedback about the Bruce Razzie award.
“We are truly sorry to hear about Willis’ diagnosis, of which we were unaware until the story broke earlier today. In Willis’ defense, perhaps his reps should not have let him do such a high volume of work in so short a time. We offer our best wishes to Bruce and his family,” they told IndieWire, later adding, “We are still discussing how to handle the news about Willis’ diagnosis and will get back to you.”

March 31, 2022
The Sixers took a half-hearted approach to their game against the Pistons and were punished by a younger, hungrier team, with Detroit racing to a 102-94 victory once James Harden unraveled in the second half.
Here's what I saw.
• There were times in this game where I thought the box score overstated Joel Embiid's performance and impact on the game. Posting up guards 20 feet away from the basket is something he's typically smart enough to avoid, and he had some needless turnovers as a result of that approach. There were some defensive possessions where a tad more exertion probably would have saved them two points around the basket, and he's better than he showed on that end.
Ultimately, though, it is hard to ignore that box score, the efficiency, and the ability to dominate an opponent even without his best stuff. The dude just ate the Pistons up and forced their smaller front line to take a lot of fouls to try to stop him. Some nights, Embiid lives at the line enough to wipe away any issues elsewhere. This was one of those games.
Broadly speaking, the James Harden/Joel Embiid pick-and-roll continues to be Philadelphia's best source of offense, a fact that becomes less surprising the more these two play together. No matter what strategy teams decide to throw at it, the Sixers end up picking it apart, getting favorable matchups and open shots for their two best players.
Detroit opted to switch it, hoping that there wouldn't be that much of a difference between Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart on Embiid in the post, and vice versa with Harden attacking from the perimeter. Early in the game, it was Harden who had more success, carving up starters and bench players alike in isolation. It took a bit longer for Embiid to find his footing, but he looked down upon an inferior opponent all night, making defenders pay for every last reach, jump, and step in the wrong direction.
That is arguably Embiid's greatest gift — his mind. He has occasionally compared himself to future Hall of Famer Chris Paul as a result of his willingness to exploit every last edge he can, and his understanding of the rules to help him do that. The handful of Pistons players who were forced to guard him on Thursday would make a mistake, Embiid would draw the foul, and after a moment of angst toward the officials, most of them ended up walking to their spot on the lane with resignation on their faces. It was the universal sign for, "Yeah, I screwed up."
Weirdly enough, I thought there were some spots where Embiid should have tried less than he did. They don't need him going for chase-down blocks in an end-of-season game against the Pistons, and I would bet most in the organization would rather see him protect his body and health. Those plays make for great highlights when he pulls them off, but they're simply not worth it.
In any case, Embiid was the best player on the floor by a comfortable margin even with spotty defensive effort and some issues with turnovers. It'll help his push for the NBA scoring title. That's the best I can say about this game.
• Yet another solid, understated performance from Tobias Harris during a run where he has had a lot of those. If he ever finds the shooting touch on catch-and-shoot attempts and gets hot for a game, he might end up taking over the second half of a big game, because Embiid and Harden are creating open looks for him quite a bit.
Philadelphia's offense was pretty disconnected in this one, owing to the iso-heavy style of their two co-stars (at least one mostly justified playing that way). Having Harris as an emergency option ended up being critical for Philadelphia because of how stagnant they were as a group, as he's one of the few guys on this team who can create something out of nothing in a pinch.
• Matisse Thybulle has dominated a lot of matchups on defense, but Cade Cunningham had him out on the floor seeing ghosts. The rookie dusted him pretty good.
• It feels like every night we are seeing some version of the tweet or on-screen graphic showing an opponent with a ton of bench points and the Sixers having little-to-nothing to show from their backups. And if you're looking for someone who is going to stick up for their backups, I'm not the guy, and it feels like a front office mistake that they made the Harden deal and basically considered themselves done upgrading.
That being said, tonight was not the night to complain about a lack of bench scoring if you're asking me. For long stretches of this game, Philadelphia's offense was James Harden getting the switch he wanted and then methodically winding down the clock, waiting for his opportunity to attack. And that's not a bad thing, provided he has it going. He had some three-point jumpers rim out on Thursday night, but Harden generally did a nice job of beating the first-level of defense and putting the Pistons in no-win territory for the first 24 minutes of the game. Do you foul a great free-throw shooter and put him on the line, or let him get to the basket with little-to-no resistance? They couldn't figure out what to do. But that changed in a big way after halftime.
With the style of defense they choose to play, Detroit was basically asking for Harden to try to beat them straight up on the perimeter all night. That's not an opportunity he has had a ton in Philadelphia, and the biggest burning question facing the Sixers is whether teams will choose to play it this way in the playoffs.
In previous recaps, I suggested that perhaps teams would just live with Harden in isolation in the playoffs based on how he looks physically, turning their attention toward Embiid and banking on Harden not killing them as a scorer. We look to be moving closer to that reality. As the game wore on, Harden struggled to create separation and ended up spearheading a lot of broken, aimless possessions. He tried to sell foul calls that never came, and the Pistons were able to get easy run-outs for buckets, ultimately putting this game away.
Who is the real James Harden? I'm not so sure we know yet. I don't think a game against the Pistons means a lot relative to his breakout scoring night against the Milwaukee Bucks, but the swings in quality night-to-night are pretty typical for guys as they get older, even guys with his talent and production levels. Summoning 30-point games is not as easy as it used to be for Harden (understatement of the year), which is obvious based on his actual output and based on watching him play. And this is a guy they brought in to help them win right now. Having to guess whether he will look decent on a half-to-half basis, let alone a game-to-game basis, is pretty brutal.
I'm just not going to sit here and complain about the bench not scoring in the first half when they struggled to simply get touches the entire half. Their job was to make sure Harden had space to operate, serving as targets to hit if he needed them, and the Sixers didn't exactly struggle to score until Harden's isolation success dried up. The bench is not the reason the Sixers had all five starters on the floor and got out-executed and outplayed by the Pistons in the final minutes of the game. The bench is not the reason the Sixers played a specific, disconnected style for most of this game. The second unit did not help, but they were not given many opportunities to help, and one of their stars was bad in a way that has become a bit too common early in his tenure.
(What the Sixers do need to figure out is who to use and how with their bench group. Nobody wants to see Furkan Korkmaz, but Shake Milton looks less than comfortable as a pure floor spacer next to Harden, and he's not offering anywhere close to the same off-ball movement as Korkmaz. If any of these guys had shot well consistently all year, you'd have an easier time putting together a coherent rotation, but they've all been subpar in their own ways. It's a real Sophie's Choice.)
• If you're looking for criticism to direct at Doc Rivers and the coaching staff specifically, Philadelphia's inability to understand their assignment(s) is absolutely infuriating to watch every night. The Sixers hug guys out to the perimeter who can't shoot, leave good shooters to help on less dangerous offensive players, and make a lot of hare-brained decisions as a team that suggest they are not getting proper preparation from the people on the sidelines.
That's a much bigger indictment of Doc Rivers than any of the rotation stuff, the backup big decisions, or basically anything else. Ostensibly smart players who have been part of high-level defenses, guys like Danny Green, are doing dumb-ass stuff game after game after game. I can only assume that means they are being told to do wrong and bad things, because the opposite doesn't make much sense.
• Georges Niang was straight-up terrible in this game. No more analysis to add beyond that.
• It was pretty obvious the Sixers didn't really give a shit about this game, and if that's how it's going to go, they'd be better off just resting guys and not risking injuries to their best players.
• The NBC accounting team is so accustomed to Matisse Thybulle blocking jumpers that they are actively giving credit to him for plays made by other guy. James Harden made an excellent defensive play to block a corner shooter early in Thursday night's game, and Kate Scott credited Thybulle for the play despite him being nowhere near it. Not a dig at Scott, just a funny byproduct of expectations — Harden can make plays sometimes, too.
• I'm all for ripping DeAndre Jordan when he sucks, which is fairly often, but there were people piling on him in the first half for Detroit scoring a bunch of points at the rim against the bench unit. On a lot of those, Jordan was guarding backup big and floor spacer Kelly Olynyk out to the three-point line, and the Pistons were absolutely mauling Philly's guards and wings with back cuts, which Jordan has basically nothing to do with.
Pick your battles, is all I'm saying. There's more than enough opportunities to kill Jordan, Rivers, and anybody else when they actually deserve it. The second half, for example, was a great example of how bad Jordan is.
• When we saw the Sixers play the Pistons earlier this season, Cade Cunningham had some brief flashes but still looked like a guy trying to find his footing and figure out the pace of an NBA game. He couldn't have looked more assured of his spot in Thursday night's game, controlling the tempo and the ball with the composure of a vet. Super impressive kid, and I'm curious how he looks as the Pistons presumably add some more talent alongside him in the years to come.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — About $7 million worth of surplus personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies purchased by a Northern California county was left outside during a rainstorm because no one anticipated wet weather to start so early in the season, according to an investigation released Thursday.
After a KGO-TV news report showed hundreds of drenched cardboard boxes, San Mateo County officials acknowledged the supplies were moved outside an event center last September to make room for a conference.
There was no definitive timeline for how the supplies would be distributed “even though the Fall rainy season was not far off,” the probe by James Lianides said. County officials said they hired the retired school superintendent to conduct the inquiry because of his experience dealing with large organizations and purchasing practices.
Lianides said the boxes of non-medical-grade gowns, face shields and goggles as well as cleaning supplies were also moved out of the event center to avoid the $100,000-per-month storage fee.
“It does not appear that there were any discussions or actions taken in the process of (moving) to protect the equipment in the event of inclement weather, such as wrapping or covering each pallet,” he wrote.
The county's executive officer, Mike Callagy, has said the county purchased the items early in the pandemic when PPE was becoming scarce nationwide so that local first responders and medical providers would have what they needed. The demand for the equipment decreased as the pandemic continued.
The county’s supply of gloves and masks — including N95 and KN95 respirators — are stored indoors.
“What’s clear is that that this shouldn’t have happened. What is equally clear is we are taking the steps necessary to make sure that we put the checks and balances in place so this never happens again,” Callagy said in a statement Thursday.
An inspection of the damaged boxes determined that most of the safety equipment remains usable because they were packed in sealed plastic wrapping, the probe found. Equipment that could not be salvaged were worth about $128,000, according to Lianides. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Report-Rain-not-anticipated-when-7M-in-PPE-17049873.php | 2022-04-01T01:39:09Z |
Premier moved during meeting with Ukrainian refugees as he ends overseas trade mission
Premier's trip includes stops in London and Frankfurt
Premier Scott Moe says he learned "a lot" after spending time meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Germany on Thursday.
He says those he spoke with were "very grateful" for the support they have received from Poland, Germany and Canada.
"The second thing I think that really resonated with me was their determination and their resilience," Saskatchewan's premier said from Germany.
Moe travelled to London, England, and Frankfurt, Germany over the last six days for a trade mission. He was accompanied by members of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP), government officials and Saskatchewan business leaders.
I heard this today: 'My body is here but my heart is home in Ukraine.' They want to be at home. Nobody knows how long this conflict is going to last. Nobody knows if they will be able to go back."- Premier Scott Moe
He ended his trip in Kassel, Germany with a stop to see refugees who had fled Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
Kassel is about 180 kilometres northeast of Frankfurt, and about 1,700 from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, which many of the refugees had fled.
"I was ever so appreciative to spend some time with all of them, and to be able to share their stories of what they've been through, and to pass on our prayers from Canada and our support from Canadians," Moe said.
Moe said the refugees were staying in a retrofitted office building that was empty at the moment because the workers who would normally be there are working remotely due to the pandemic.
He says between 80 and 90 families were staying there, and almost all were women and children.
"I heard this today: 'My body is here but my heart is home in Ukraine.' They want to be at home. Nobody knows how long this conflict is going to last. Nobody knows if they will be able to go back."
Moe says the federal government is working hard on the refugee file with provincial support. He says that support could include sending officials to Europe to help process visas.
"These Ukrainian families need our support and the world's support," he said. "We are looking at, first, how do we support the federal government in creating those pathways for them to get to Canada? Second, is there something else that we can do to actually support those that have found their way into areas like Berlin, like Kassel, where we visited today?"
Moe says he spoke with a few families who fled Kyiv, Chornobyl and Kharkiv, each expressing a desire to return home.
He detailed a story told to him by a woman who lived near a power plant in Kyiv.
"They did hear a rocket that was coming heading for that power plant," he said. "It was a Russian rocket. It was shot down by the Ukrainian forces, and the shrapnel came down and hit a home about 300 metres from her home."
Moe says the woman fled the city shortly after with her daughter and grandchildren.
As for the business end of the trip, Moe says meetings in London and Germany had "great engagement," and that his government had developed "action items" to promote Saskatchewan industries and products to the European Union.
He says the province will be providing direct comparisons as to "why people should be purchasing their products from a place like Saskatchewan," mentioning resources such as potash and uranium, and crops including canola oil, peas and lentils.
His pitch? "We are a stable, trustworthy, long-term supplier and provider, and we want that long-term trade relationship."
The trip was scheduled before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sask-premier-european-trip-1.6404313?cmp=rss | 2022-04-01T01:39:09Z |

So rarely. Selena Gomez talked about her personal life, using a funny approach to inform fans about her relationship status.
The 29-year-old Disney graduate took to TikTok on Thursday, March 31 to share her lip-syncing of a viral audio clip from King Nas. In the video, the man listed compliments to a woman who was not interested. “Maybe that’s why I’m not married,” Gomez wrote along with the upload on social media. “Don’t believe a word of it.”
The singer’s comment “Lose You to Love Me” sounded after her personal life had previously been a topic of conversation. The latest high-profile romance of the Selena star + Chef was with The Weeknd. The couple began dating in January 2017, and four months later debuted on the red carpet of the Met Gala.
“Something I’m really proud of is that [we have] such a real friendship. I’ve really never experienced anything like this in my life,” she told Billboard at the time. “We ended it as best friends, and it was genuine encouragement and caring [for each other], and it was pretty remarkable to me.”
After her breakup with The Weeknd, Gomez briefly reconciled with boyfriend Justin Bieber. The duo, who first sparked romance rumors in 2011, ended their romance again in 2018. The 28-year-old Canadian native, for his part, married Hailey Bieber (nee Baldwin) in the same year.
Despite the fact that Gomez kept her personal life a secret, she talked about the ups and downs that accompany a relationship.
“I think most of my relationship experience has been cursed,” the Texas native shared with Vogue Australia in June 2021. — I was too young to be exposed to certain things when I was in a relationship. I think I needed to find that word for me because I felt so much smaller than in past relationships and never felt equal.”
The founder of Rare Beauty also talked about how her life has changed since she started surrounding herself with “real people.”
“I’m just very happy with who I am. I am grateful that when I turned 29 years old — even just two years ago — I was different,” Gomez said. “It’s only gotten better now, and people say that, you know, when you get older, you feel a little more confident in who you are. I do not know if it will be every year for me. Maybe it’s. But I just feel like I’m constantly growing in the right direction.” | https://www.somagnews.com/selena-gomez-jokes-about-her-relationship-status-on-tiktok-dont-believe-a-word/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:09Z |
Lawrence Taylor, the ex-football great who spent his Hall of Fame career as a linebacker with the New York Giants, pleaded not guilty Wednesday during his arraignment on charges of failing to register as a sex offender.
Taylor, 63, was arrested Dec. 16 for failing to report his address change to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
Taylor’s attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, said Taylor used his home address instead of a hotel address.
Taylor must report address changes as a sex offender due to a plea agreement in a 2010 incident in which he had sex with a 16-year-old who he said claimed to be 19 years old. He pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and sex with an underage prostitute, both misdemeanors, and was sentenced to six years’ probation.
Eiglarsh said Taylor wants the charges dropped because Taylor changed his living situation only because Pembroke Pines police suggested he stay at a nearby hotel due to martial problems. He said Taylor registered with the correct address and complied with the plea arrangement.
“He registered,” Eiglarsh said. “He just put an address down that he thought was accurate. That’s the house he’s been living in for years.
“But he spent some time 50 yards away at a hotel that’s close to his house because of the marital problems he’s having.”
“He took their instruction and still believed that his address was the home that he lived in for years, and he was still living in the pool house from time to time,” Eiglarsh said. “So, he mixed his time there. So, did he violate the law? I don’t think so.”
Taylor, a trend-setter as a pass-rushing linebacker, won two Super Bowls (XXI and XXV) with the Giants, won the NFL MVP in 1986, is a 10-time All Pro and 10-time Pro Bowl selection, and was named to the NFL’s 100th and 75th Anniversary All-Time teams, among numerous other honors.
He also competed on “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC-TV in 2009.
Taylor has had numerous brushes with the law over the years. In Florida, he’s had incidents related to cocaine, driving under the influence (a September 2016 incident in which he hit a motor home and then a highway patrol car), and a November 2009 hit-and-run crash in Miami-Dade County (he left his Cadillac Escalade after crashing into a Lexus; no one was injured).
He’s also had troubled financial dealings, declaring bankruptcy in 1998, and at least two trips to drug rehabilitation. Also, in 2016, his wife was arrested by Pembroke Pines police on a domestic violence charge for throwing an object that hit Taylor in the head.
Eiglarsh said the failure to report charges against Taylor are both felonies and carry a maximum of 10 years in prison.

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

Japan's March factory activity speeds up as COVID impact fades -PMI
TOKYO, April 1 (Reuters) - Japan's manufacturing activity grew at a faster pace from the prior month in March as domestic demand got a lift from the waning impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Activity in the sector, however, saw a sharp decline in new export orders, as external demand suffered from pandemic curbs in China and Russia's war in Ukraine, which caused supply chain disruptions and price pressures to worsen.
The final au Jibun Bank Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to a seasonally adjusted 54.1 in March, up from a 53.2 flash reading and the previous month's final of 52.7.
The reading meant manufacturing activity came in above the 50.0 threshold that separates contraction from expansion for the 14th straight month.
"The Japanese manufacturing sector saw an improvement in operating conditions at the end of the first quarter," said Usamah Bhatti, economist IHS Markit, which compiles the survey.
"New order inflows saw a quickening in growth, as firms recovered from the surge in COVID-19 cases at the start of the year."
The PMI survey showed, however, that new export orders fell at the sharpest rate in 20 months, suggesting less stable conditions in overseas markets.
The drop in export orders followed the reintroduction of coronavirus restrictions in parts of China and the Russia-Ukraine war, Bhatti said. Russia calls its action in Ukraine a "special operation".
"Anecdotal evidence also linked the war to exacerbated price and supply pressures," Bhatti said.
Manufacturers recorded the steepest rise in input prices since August 2008, the survey showed, following a rapid increase in the price of oil and other raw materials.
Firms' optimism about output conditions for the 12 months ahead became slightly less positive on the downside overseas risks, while they also reported a deterioration in lead times amid material shortages.
"There was a survey-record increase in stocks of inputs as firms sought to grow safety stocks and unused inputs accumulated due to shortages of critical components," Bhatti said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammysmight be missing stars like Drake, The Weeknd and Kanye West as a performer, but the biggest night in music could still shine bright on the Las Vegas Strip.
The ceremony relocated to Las Vegas for the first-time ever with several artists who could have epic nights including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Jon Batiste. The awards shifted from Los Angeles because of the rising COVID-19 cases and omicron variant in January. Sunday’s show will air live beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS and the Paramount+ streaming service.
Host Trevor Noah calls Las Vegas a “perfect place to have a celebration” with fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Last year, the Grammys had a music festival vibe with parts of the show held outdoors in an intimate in-person setting with music artists mixed with pre-taped performances.
Noah expects an entertaining show with several performers set to hit the stage including Rodrigo, Eilish, Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Brandi Carlile, Batiste, Silk Sonic, H.E.R., Chris Stapleton, Leslie Odom Jr. and Brothers Osborne. He said the awards will be a celebration of the music industry coming back to life.
“There’s an element of this (show) that’s like a music camp,” Noah said. “I think it’s going to bring a different energy, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
It’s still unclear whether the Foo Fighters will take the stage following the recent death of its drummer Taylor Hawkins. The rock band – nominated for three Grammys – is scheduled to perform during the ceremony, but they recently canceled all upcoming concert dates.
The Grammys will continue to move forward without West, known as Ye, after news surfaced earlier this month that he wouldn’t perform at the show because of his “concerning online behavior.” The Weeknd is still boycotting the awards and Drake said he wanted no part in competing for a Grammy, withdrawing his two nominations.
The three popular performers will be missed, but the show will certainly go on.
The multitalented Jon Batiste enters the Grammys as the leading nominee with 11in a variety of genres including R&B, jazz, American roots music, classical and music video. Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. are tied for the second-most nominations with eight apiece.
The awards will introduce its expanded 10 nominees in three major genres — record, album and song of the year. The growing categories will make the competition stronger but could make choosing a winner a lot tougher.
For album of the year, the Recording Academy expanded the category’s eligibility for any featured artists, producers, songwriters and engineers — even if the music creator co-wrote one song on the project. That means there could be a large amount of winners on stage, depending on who wins.
For example, if Bieber’s “Justice” wins at the show, more than 50 creators could pack the stage. The same could be said for Ye, Doja Cat and H.E.R., who have a plethora of contributors.
But Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” features songs written by the young star and her brother Finneas, who produced all of her tracks. Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga and Rodrigo are sitting in the same boat.
Harvey Mason jr., the academy’s CEO, said the number of creators in a category won’t dictate the winner.
Either way, Noah said he doesn’t mind.
“It’ll be great to see that moment,” he said. “You get to be on stage and celebrated for your work. I’m excited for that. I want to see 25 people on stage celebrating and sharing the love and joy for something they’ve done.”
Before the awards, the academy will hold a couple events including a tribute to Joni Mitchell at the MusiCares Person of the Yearon Friday night. Chaka Khan, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Porter and Beck are among those expected to perform.
On Saturday, Grammy winner John Legend will be honored during the academy’s Black Music Collective. The singer will receive his first-ever Recording Academy Global Impact Award for his personal and professional achievements in the music industry.
Legend will be celebrated with a performance by Summer Walker, D-Nice and MC Lyte as the voice for the evening. Jimmy Jam will be making remarks. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/entertainment-news/grammy-awards-sets-sight-on-las-vegas-for-first-time/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:12Z |

Disney+ would have censored scenes from its series Falcon and the winter soldiermore than a year after its initial release?
While Disney recently came under fire after trying to censor a gay kiss from buzz the lightning, before handing it over following an open letter from Pixar employees, it seems that The big-eared platform has once again censored one of its own creations, this time from Marvel.
In this way, scenes containing blood and acts of violence Falcon and the winter soldier would have been censored. Initially observed on the social network Redditthe supposed censorships were seen in the third episode of the series.
The team is not happy with these new changes.
Seeing the end of the episode, when Bucky (Sebastian Stan), Sam (Anthony Mackie), and Zemo (Daniel Brühl) questioned Dr Wilfred Nagel, the character of Daniel Brühl brought him to the knowledge of Hydra’s solde. a shot. In the original scene, Nagel collapses lifelessly to the ground, his shirt and face covered in blood, his eyes wide open. However, in the apparently re-edited version of the scene, the blood disappears and the character’s eyes are now closed. An image that gives the impression that he is unconscious rather than dead.
Disney+ has edited scenes in #FalconAndWinterSoldier to censor violence and blood! More photos and details: https://t.co/ZymWwFN78v pic.twitter.com/K7ahLfsSqT

The second modification comes moments later, when Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) joins the three men. As the four try to dodge a deadly catch, Bucky throws a metal pipe at an attacker who tries to shoot him. In the original scene, the pipe initially pierces the character’s shoulder and pins her to the shipping container right behind her. but in the new version, the makeshift weapon stupidly bounces off it.
#FalconAndWinterSoldierThe new edition of Disney+ no longer shows a Madripoor bounty hunter being impaled by a metal pipe. Now the pipe just bounces off it… More photos and details: https://t.co/ZymWwFN78v pic.twitter.com/BN5zMZh9EE

These surprising changes could potentially be attributed to the US update to the platform’s parental control rules. Implemented on March 16, 2022, these changes were made in preparation for the arrival of more adult Marvel series, such as Reckless or the very violent The Punisher, previously available on Netflix.
In any case, the controversy reached the ears of Disney, who finally defended himself against these changes… invoking a bug. According to Ryan Parker of the hollywood reporterIt seems that the incident is related to an unfortunate technical incident, although Disney would not be its first censorship (remember that in the same launch of the platform, Disney+ had censored several scenes from the film). Splashand in particular the buttocks of an actress through hair added in post-production).
Eagle-eyed fans were right, an episode of ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ had been altered on Disney+.
I heard from a reliable source that it was a software control issue and the wrong file was accidentally posted recently. It is being corrected immediately.
—Ryan Parker (@TheRyanParker) March 30, 2022
“Eagle-eyed fans were absolutely right, an episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier did indeed get edited on Disney+. I heard from a reliable source that this was a technical issue and the wrong file was uploaded by mistake. This is being rectified right now.”
Falcon and the winter soldier having been one of the first series produced specifically for the big-eared platform, so it’s a safe bet that alternative arrangements had been planned in order to meet all the requirements of the classification committee.
So, discreet censorship or true technical error? However, the incident responds to a moment that is at least ironic, as expressed by Kevin Feige during a Disney + press conference last February. feeling too restricted by the famous PG-13 (all public, but parental consent is recommended). | https://d1softballnews.com/marvel-did-disney-just-censor-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-series/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:13Z |
Moving on. Joe Exotic officially filed for divorce from Dillon Passage one year after putting their split on pause.
The 59-year-old Tiger King star (whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage) submitted paperwork to a Florida courthouse on Thursday, March 31, filing to end the pair’s four-year marriage.
Maldonado-Passage claimed in court documents obtained by Us Weekly that the estranged couple’s union is “irretrievably broken,” prompting his request for a dissolution of marriage.
The Kansas native — who is currently serving a 21-year prison sentence for animal abuse and attempted murder for hire — is seeking “temporary, rehabilitative, durational, bridge-the-gap, and lump sum alimony” to help him maintain the standard of living he had during his marriage to Passage, 26, per the docs.
Maldonado-Passage asked the court to restore his former name back to Joseph Allen Maldonado and wants his estranged husband to pay his legal fees.
The former Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park owner and Passage tied the knot in December 2017, and their relationship was featured on Netflix’s docuseries, which debuted in early 2020. They announced their initial split in March 2021 after three years together.
“Dillon thinks having to sleep alone and not have me out there is so rough and hard to deal with to the point he has to leave me,” Maldonado-Passage wrote via Instagram at the time. “Now I don’t even have a home.”
He claimed that Passage had “abandoned” him “just to have someone else to sleep with and call a lover, while the man who gave up paying for his own defense so his husband could live some kind of enjoyable life while he lives through hell.”
Passage, for his part, addressed the split with his own social media post, writing, “To answer the main question the public wants to know, yes, Joe and I are seeking a divorce. This wasn’t an easy decision to make but Joe and I both understand that this situation isn’t fair to either of us.”
One day later, Maldonado-Passage’s lawyer Francisco Hernandez confirmed to Us that the duo had decided to put their divorce on hold. The reality stars spoke on the phone and chose to “stay married right now so things don’t get complicated,” Hernandez told Us in March 2021.
Maldonado-Passage’s legal team confirmed in a statement to Us on Thursday that former Oklahoma resident “failed to serve” Passage with divorce papers last year amid their brief talks of parting ways.
Maldonado-Passage has since retained Autumn Beck Blackledge, Pensacola Family Attorney, to legally pursue the divorce. “Joe ‘Exotic’ has tried to obtain information about Mr. Passage and his whereabouts so that the two could enter into what he hopes to be an amicable divorce, but so far, his attempts to get Mr. Passage to contact him have failed,” the attorney claimed in the statement. “It is the hope of the Tiger King that they can both move on with their lives and divorce quickly and amicably.”

Larry Andersen is cutting back on his job as the Phillies' radio color analyst.
The team announced Thursday that Andersen has reduced his role to calling just 40 of the Phillies' 81 home games this season.
“The Phillies have been very understanding and accommodating in my desire for a scaled-back schedule,” Andersen said in a statement. “This was not an easy decision for me, but I believe my new schedule is a nice middle ground that is a win-win for me, the Phillies and the fans.
"For the past 15 years, [play-by-play announcer Scott Franzke] and I have developed an incredible relationship. We kid each other a lot, but he is one of the main reasons why this decision was so difficult and why I don’t want to completely walk away at this point.”
Phillies color analyst Larry Andersen has decided to further reduce his role for the 2022 season by calling 40 of the team’s 81 home games. Andersen will work alongside play-by-play announcer Scott Franzke for weekend games at Citizens Bank Park.
— Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) March 31, 2022
Andersen, 68, has been part of the Phillies' broadcast team since 1998. He's scaled back on his radio job before, making a transition to call just home games ahead of the 2018 season.
The former reliever is in the final year of his current contract.
“Selfishly, I want Larry to work the broadcast with me forever,” Franzke said in a statement. “However many games he can be with me, whether it’s one or 100, it’s always a privilege and a treat. He’s meant the world to me, on and off the air, and that’s probably not a big surprise to anyone. I want Larry to get exactly what he wants out of life and baseball, because he’s earned it.”
Michael Bourn, Chad Durbin, Erik Kratz and Kevin Stocker were announced earlier in the month as a broadcast platoon for the Phillies' road game this season, but according to MLB.com, they will now split up 122 games (41 home) instead of the original 81.
Andersen and his blunt opinions of the team have been a fixture of Philadelphia summers for well over two decades. But he has definitely earned the right to slow down after all that time.

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.manisteenews.com/news/article/Thompson-and-Trump-meet-to-talk-politics-17049815.php | 2022-04-01T01:39:15Z |

But what fans should be sure of is that the next episodes will be arriving at the end of 2022. Meanwhile, viewers will get to see Asa Butterfield immersed in a starring role in the streamer’s new horror film.

Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King wants to get to the NFL any way he can.
“I love football; I love the game of football,” King said. “Whoever gives me the opportunity to play at the next level: receiver, running back, special teams. I don’t care if they tell me to go wash the car. I’ll do it.”
King, whose final college season was cut short by a shoulder injury, was one of 11 Hurricanes who worked out at the team’s Pro Day in Coral Gables on Wednesday.
The Hurricanes’ former signal-caller has been a quarterback for most of his life, but he also worked out at wide receiver — a position he played for part of his college career — on Wednesday to maximize his chances of making an NFL roster.
“I don’t want to say it’s hard,” King said. “Obviously, I’ve been playing quarterback since I was four years old. I played receiver a year and a half of my whole life. I am a quarterback, that’s who I am. I lead like a quarterback. I watch tape like a quarterback.”
King spent most of his six college seasons as a quarterback, but he played wide receiver his freshman and part of his sophomore year at Houston. He had 58 catches for 492 yards and three touchdowns in those two seasons. He also caught two passes for 16 yards in two seasons at Miami.
After moving back to quarterback in his sophomore year, King had a breakout junior campaign. He completed 63.1 percent of his collegiate passes for 8,378 yards and 76 touchdowns against 19 interceptions. He also ran for 2,055 yards and 32 scores.
With representatives of several NFL teams in attendance on Wednesday, King ran an unofficial time of 4.65 in the 40-yard dash and ran about a 7.3 in the shuttle drill, according to the ACC Network’s broadcast.
“I felt all right,” King said. “I feel like I definitely could’ve done better at some things, but it is what it is at this point.”
King said he has a workout with the New England Patriots on Thursday and will work out at the Dolphins’ local workout day. He said he wants to be seen as a jack-of-all-trades.
“That’s my goal,” King said. “The more you can do, the more valuable you are.”
King said he has been trying to maximize his abilities at both quarterback and wide receiver. He earned an invitation to the NFL combine as a quarterback, so that was his earlier focus. Now he is working consistently at both positions.
“I was trying both every day,” King said. “Not trying to overwork and keep myself healthy. I would throw first then after I do my throwing, go run some routes [for] maybe 20, 30, 40 minutes. Just getting it in every day so I can feel comfortable.”
King’s teammate, fellow prospective draftee Charleston Rambo, thinks King is more than capable at either position.
“He’s athletic,” Rambo said. “He’s going to throw it. He’s going to catch it. He’s going to run. He’s just balling.”
Rambo said King “knows his stuff,” but the former Hurricanes signal-caller said Rambo and fellow wide receiver Mike Harley Jr. offered some good advice.
“Catch the ball, that’s the most important thing, right?” King said. “You can’t go out there run a good route and drop the ball. It makes no sense. So I caught everything, so that was good.”

S.Korea posts record export value in March but swings back to deficit
By Joori Roh
SEOUL, April 1 (Reuters) - South Korea's export value reached a record amount in March and extended its expansion into a 17th month, though the trade balance in goods swung back to deficit, as surging energy and raw material prices also pushed up imports to a record amount.
Exports in March grew 18.2% from a year earlier to a record $63.48 billion, trade ministry data showed on Friday, beating a forecast for 17.5% growth in a Reuters' poll but slower than the 20.6% in February.
A breakdown by items showed exports of semiconductors, the country's top foreign exchange earner, stood at a record $13.12 billion, while that for petrochemical products also reached a record $5.42 billion. Outbound shipments of oil and steel products jumped 90.1% and 26.8%, respectively.
By destination, exports to China, South Korea's biggest trading partner, increased 16.6%, and those to the United States rose 19.9%.
Imports, meanwhile, jumped 27.9% to a record $63.62 billion, with combined $16.19 billion worth imports of crude oil, gas and coal taking the lead. That brought the trade balance to a $140 million deficit, after logging a $831 million surplus in February. (Reporting by Joori Roh.

When our immune system comes into contact with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, it fights back and produces antibodies. A similar immune response is triggered by coronavirus vaccines. However, there is still little data available on the strength and durability of immune protection. A team led by Carsten Watzl from the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors Institute for Occupational Research, in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology and the Klinikum Dortmund, has now been able to detect high levels of neutralizing antibodies in test persons even 300 days after a coronavirus infection with the original variant of the coronavirus. And what's more: after complete vaccination, the recovered probands showed antibody levels about five times higher than those vaccinated without prior infection. This would provide much better protection against a severe course of the disease in the event of a new infection with other coronavirus variants. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556707610642/research-fair-student-synthesizes-potential-new-antibiotics | 2022-04-01T01:39:18Z |

India has low doctor penetration in the rural areas. India speaks 22 different languages. India follows a multidisciplinary medical system with six different medical systems approved by the Government. These are three random statements describing the complexity of the Indian healthcare ecosystem. However, if you look a little deeper you will realise that the above three points work in collusion to create an absolute breeding ground for one problem — health misinformation. Hence, it was not surprising when in a latest study that analysed 9657 pieces of COVID-19 misinformation from 138 countries, India notoriously ranked No.1 for generating the maximum number of misinformation (18.07%).
As a part of a health fact checking company that also works as a third party fact checker with Facebook, I look at hundreds of health posts on social media daily. We delve into supporting medical research, talk to health experts and then write an article on what is wrong and why. We go ahead and inform the poster, we alert the readers and try everything in between to prevent any harm.
One question I get asked often by new team members is: Why do we even fact check these posts? I understand the scepticism from a new team member, majority of whom do not come from a journalistic background but are young doctors and science writers.

India's cumulative COVID-19 vaccination coverage exceeds 97.23 crores, informs health ministryThe scepticism is not limited to them alone. I have been asked this “why” quite often with the questioner ranging from friends at a party to random family members. While the question is “Why” what most actually means is “who cares”. And I don’t blame them. Most of the health misinformation pieces we pick up to fact check, look apparently harmless. They look like something that they have always ‘known’, something our ancestors always ‘practised’ or something that is ‘easy to recognize as a fake because they sound stupid’. And mostly people believe that falling prey to health information is a harmless mistake. Well, fact check — wrong assumption.
Health information hurts at various degrees to different parts of the society. If you believed and acted on “Toothpaste cures pimples,” then at most you may end up with a burn on your skin. But only if it was always so simple. Imagine the public health repercussions in rural India on claims like “Drinking lemon water is as good as chemotherapy” or “rubbing hydrogen peroxide on your skin can cure skin Cancer at early stages.”
If you consider these in the background that India has an abysmal health literacy, you will understand why these posts have been shared over thousands of terms. Also, keep in mind that a majority of Indians do not have health insurance, fail to afford healthcare costs and often seek alternative treatments. So, trusting medical misinformation at times is also driven by compulsion. And this is where fact checkers come in. They work with health professionals to identify fake messages and build counter messaging through fact checking.
And, if you have started thinking that health information hurts only rural India, you will be wrong. During my regular interactions with doctors and healthcare professionals who help us with various fact check stories, I hear their observations again and again — they regularly see how depending on random health advisories on the internet is leading to multiple problems like wrong health decisions, delayed treatment, trust issues with your doctor, self medication and sometimes even more serious complications.
But I believe that is changing fast. And after the pandemic, it’s changing even faster. In a recent survey we did, we saw a majority of people now see online health content with some amount of scepticism and they believe that they ‘can’ fall prey to health misinformation. This is a good sign. People are becoming aware. Does this make health fact checking obsolete? Well, not yet. With one pandemic not being over and multiple experts warning about another pandemic in near future, we just need to learn that health fact checking is a mandatory extension to any public health literacy campaign in the age of social media and WhatsApp.

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.

St. Paul, Minn. (WCCO) — Minnesota would have one of the first coordinated climate service — “weather ready” —programs in the country if a proposal passes at the state legislature, a climate expert told lawmakers Thursday.
A bill in the House would provide funding to the University of Minnesota Extensive Service to hire more people to dispatch outside the Twin Cities and help communities prepare for climate change and its impacts on agriculture and infrastructure.
READ MORE: Thousands Of Fans Descend On Minneapolis For Women's Final FourLast year, the legislature funded a study generating state weather model projections at a level of detail as granular as three-square miles of land. Increasing staff would better communicate this research, said Dr. Heidi Roop, assistance professor of climate science who works as an extension specialist.
“Our vision is really to add that capacity within extension so that communities have a source of support for using, applying and benefitting from this investment the state has made in the generation of the data,” she said.
She told a House committee that the office can’t keep pace with demand for assistance from local partners, but said adding 10 additional positions across the state would “close the gap between research and reports, and practice and the real world.”
Rep. Patty Acomb, DFL-Minnetonka, who sponsored the bill said it would be a “beneficial program” that would also help local governments leverage new funding in the bipartisan infrastructure law approved by Congress last year.

“We can actually help communities articulate those risks so that they can be competitive to secure those federal dollars,” Roop said.
There is another proposal to fund more research extreme weather events’ impact on publicly-owned buildings and ways to minimize and prevent damage.
State climate projections show more intense rains in our future. Roop said Minnesota is getting “warmer and wetter.”

STRZYZOW, Poland — After Russia invaded Ukraine, Olena Kudlach said goodbye to her husband, a Ukrainian soldier, and left for neighboring Poland with their two young children.
"I worried that maybe the Polish would not want us," says Kudlach, 32, who's from the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil. "But I could not have been more wrong."
She says Polish border guards carried the family's luggage and wrapped her children — Nazar, 10, and Viktoria, 2 — in blankets. Volunteers at a reception center in the village of Korczowa handed them hot soup. And in the crowd there, Kudlach spotted a cheerful woman smiling at them.
"That was Ela," she says. "She had come to take us to her home."
Ela Zamorska, a 28-year-old teacher and hairdresser, embraced them all.
"I first saw Olena's little daughter, all dressed in pink, looking so sweet, and it was love at first sight," she says. "You just saw that they were very good people who had to be helped at all costs."
This scene has replayed again and again in Poland, the country that's taken in the most Ukrainian refugees by far — 2.3 million — since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Polish families, volunteers and nonprofits have largely cared for Ukrainians arriving here. And the Polish government continues to welcome Ukrainians even as housing options dwindle, prompting local authorities to open shelters around the country, and social services are pushed to the limit.
The war feels close by for Poland
Sabina Stankowska-Kobylecka, a 33-year-old lawyer in the Polish city of Rzeszow, says she knows one reason why.
"Here, in Poland, the war feels close, and we have our own history with Russia," she says, referring to the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and its decades behind the Iron Curtain. "I hear people saying, we might be next."
Stankowska-Kobylecka is housing 22 Ukrainians — nine women and 13 children — in her late grandmother's stone-and-brick house in Rzeszow, a city in southeastern Poland that has become a hub for Ukrainian refugees, aid organizations and Western diplomats who left Ukraine after the invasion.
No one had lived in the house for years, so dozens of friends helped Stankowska-Kobylecka and her husband clean and fix up the place in three days.
It's now the place Oksana Horysh and her three children call home. Horysh, a 40-year-old bookkeeper, is from Lviv, a western Ukrainian city very close to the Polish border. Her husband stayed behind to defend Ukraine.
"Here, we have been able to rest because we are tired with worry for my husband, for my country," she says.
She and Stankowska-Kobylecka sit together on a sofa bed, sharing freshly baked coconut cake with their children, who often play together, speaking in a hybrid of Ukrainian and Polish.
Horysh imagines a future reunion in Lviv, in a Ukraine free of war.
"I call Sabina to go to my home and have cake and coffee," she says. "My friend — she helps us in a difficult time."
Previous refugee groups met a backlash in Poland
Poland has taken in over half of the more than 4 million people who have fled Ukraine since the war began in February, according to data from the United Nations refugee agency.
The Polish response to Ukrainian refugees has largely been a grassroots effort, with some assistance from local authorities. That generosity has been lauded by the United States and the European Union, which are promising billions of dollars in aid to Poland.
But on another swath of the Polish border — the one with Belarus, which is run by a close Kremlin ally — it's a very different story.
"It's absolutely night and day. I cannot use a stronger metaphor to describe it," says Monika Matus, an activist with Fundacja Ocalenie, a refugee advocacy organization in Poland.
Since last fall, thousands of refugees fleeing other conflicts have tried to enter the European Union from nonmember Belarus. Belarusian authorities escorted these refugees to the border with Poland and cut the barbed wire fence separating the EU from Belarus. Polish border guards violently pushed back the refugees.
"People crossing from Belarus have been on the road for many years, trying to reach [the] European Union from Syria, from Afghanistan, from Iraq, from Iran, from Yemen," Matus says. "In Poland, they are pushed back to Belarus. They are threatened. There's no hiding that."
Lamis Abdelaaty, a political science professor at Syracuse University, sees the same stark contrast between how Poland and other European countries welcome Ukrainians — and how they wanted to keep out non-European asylum-seekers arriving in 2015. Many were fleeing the war in Syria.
"In 2015, European politicians talked about the arrivals of large numbers of people as a crisis for Europe," says Abdelaaty, whose book Discrimination and Delegation examines state responses to refugees. "Today, with Ukraine, we're hearing politicians frame the exodus of millions of people from Ukraine as a crisis for Ukraine, which is the more correct and more humane use of the term 'crisis.' "
She adds that "this conflict, as terrible and heart-wrenching as it has been, is really evidence that the European Union is more than capable of welcoming large numbers of refugees who are desperate for protection. ... I just wish we could bring this empathy to all refugee groups."
She grew up hearing how her grandma sheltered Polish Jews from Nazis
Ela Zamorska, who's housing a Ukrainian mother and her two children in her apartment, says she would like to believe she would empathize with any refugee in need. She grew up hearing stories about her grandmother, who sheltered Polish Jews fleeing the Nazis.
"My grandmother taught me that you should help people fighting for survival no matter what, even if you put yourself at risk," she says.
But she admits it's easier for Poles to feel comfortable around Ukrainians, who have so much shared history and are next-door neighbors. While Zamorska is at work, Kudlach cooks borscht and dumplings — dishes that are also part of Polish cuisine — that they share for dinner.
"I feel like she could almost be my sister," Zamorska says of Kudlach, who sits next to her at a table in Zamorska's small, tidy kitchen. Kudlach squeezes her hand.
"I can speak with her about my husband, because I'm very worried about him, since he's in Ukraine and also a soldier, and I rarely hear from him," she says. "Ela listens to me, and our languages are similar enough that it's like she understands. It makes me feel better."
Back in Rzeszow, Stankowska-Kobylecka and her family live two streets away from the Ukrainian families they're hosting in her grandmother's house. They spend a lot of time with each other.
"We can see so much of ourselves in Ukraine, in our new friends," she says. "People in Poland are afraid, you know. Sometimes my friends ask me if we are prepared for war. Some even have packed luggage to take if they need to escape quickly."
She hopes the Polish government drafts a long-term plan to care for Ukrainian refugees, especially as more arrive every day. She asks herself: Will there be enough work for everyone? Enough apartments? Enough spaces in schools?
"Sometimes, I worry about keeping up with the bills, because in Poland bills for things like electricity are very expensive," she says.
She's hoping the Polish government offers financial support to the many generous Poles housing Ukrainians in their family homes.
But if this doesn't happen, Stankowska-Kobylecka says she will raise the money herself.
"When the war started, my son was crying and afraid of war coming to Poland," she says. "And when he saw children leaving Ukraine, he cried even more, and said, 'Mom, bring them to us. Show them that they have another home.' "

LONDON (AP) — Climate activist Greta Thunberg has compiled a handbook for tackling the world’s interconnected environmental crises, with contributions from leading scientists and writers.
Penguin Random House announced Thursday that “The Climate Book” will be published in Britain in October.
It contains contributions from more than 100 academics, thinkers and campaigners, including novelists Margaret Atwood and Amitav Ghosh, climate scientist Saleemul Huq and World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The book aims to help readers connect the dots between threats to the climate, environment, sustainability and indigenous populations — among others — and is intended as a guide to understanding and activism.
Contributors including Kenyan environmentalist Wanjira Mathai, Brazilian indigenous activist Sonia Guajajara, French economist Thomas Piketty and Canadian journalist Naomi Klein offer “compelling stories of change, action and resilience,” the publisher said, alongside Thunberg’s own stories of “learning, demonstrating, and uncovering greenwashing around the world.”
“My hope is that this book might be some kind of go-to source for understanding these different, closely interconnected crises,” Thunberg said in a statement.
Chloe Currens, editor at Penguin Press, said it was “a unique book, alive with moral purpose, which aims to change the climate conversation forever.”
Thunberg began skipping classes once a week to protest climate change in 2018, when she was 15, sparking a series of school walkouts that grew into a global youth movement.
Now 19, the Swedish activist has already published a memoir, “Our House Is On Fire” and a collection of speeches, “No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference.”
“The Climate Book” is published Oct. 27 in the U.K. by Allen Lane and in the U.S. in early 2023 by Penguin Press, as well as in countries around the world. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/entertainment-news/greta-thunberg-aims-to-drive-change-with-the-climate-book/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:18Z |
Manitoba, Canada-based marijuana grower and retailer Delta 9 Cannabis closed a deal to acquire 17 stores in Alberta and arranged a private placement worth 10 million Canadian dollars ($8 million) from Sundial Growers.
Delta 9 also closed a CA$32 million credit facility announced in February, the company said in a Thursday news release.
The 17 Alberta cannabis stores acquired by Delta 9 operate under the Uncle Sam’s Cannabis and Discounted Cannabis banners.
Delta 9 paid CA$12.5 million in cash plus roughly 6.7 million Delta 9 common shares.
Delta 9 CEO John Arbuthnot said in a statement that the company now owns 34 cannabis retail locations and is pursuing “an aggressive growth strategy to actively acquire cannabis retail stores that will provide meaningful revenue growth and positive adjusted EBITDA.”
The newly closed credit facility “improves Delta 9’s financial position, lowers our cost of capital and provides funds for the purchase of the 17 Uncle Sam’s cannabis retail store acquisition,” Arbuthnot added.
Meanwhile, Delta 9 said it will also complete a CA$10 million private placement from cannabis producer Sundial Growers.
The CA$10 million in convertible debentures will mature in March 2025 and carry a 10% annual interest rate.
The debentures are convertible into Delta 9 shares at CA$0.35 per share, but that conversion price could be adjusted downward if Delta 9 completes an equity offering within six months at CA$0.29 per share or less.
Social equity matters
The annual Women & Minorities in the Cannabis Industry Report breaks down the current state of social equity and lack of diversity in executive roles across the industry as more states legalize cannabis.
Inside the Women & Minorities in Cannabis Report:
- Breakdown of women and minority cannabis executives by year and sector.
- Startup costs and average income by race category.
- Major challenges and factors that play into inequity.
- Critical ways to improve the current diversity situation.
- And more diversity in cannabis data
Delta 9 also has an option to convert interest into common shares, as does Sundial in the event of an ongoing default.
Sundial is being granted the right to take part in future Delta 9 debt or equity financings. | https://mjbizdaily.com/delta-9-cannabis-closes-acquisition-announces-private-placement/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:19Z |

Final Fantasy VI was one of the most special JRPGs in the saga, a true classic that we are now bringing back with its remastered version Pixel Remaster. How do you play a 1994 title today? Here what has surprised me to see how well it resists the passage of time.
I played Final Fantasy VI a long time ago. The title developed by the not yet merged squaresoft It was originally released on Super Nintendo back in 1994 in Japanese and American territory. Since then, it has toured several platforms, including PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, mobile… It is not for less, and although the fame of FFVII is high, this chapter deserves special attention, as it is still in the hearts of many players. . Also in mine.
With FFVI Pixel Remaster I have rediscovered it, and I could not imagine how much I could enjoy this moment. Despite the 28 years that have passed since its initial release, the RPG directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi manages to show me why it is a true masterpiece of the genre. Its story is a roller coaster of sensations, the characters are memorable, the world to explore is extremely varied, the combat system works perfectly, the music is wonderful… If one day Square Enix deigns to make a remake, it will be difficult to be up to par. A lot. At the moment, what we have is a remaster for PC and mobile. It’s not that he’s the no-go. Of course, it does not go according to the video game piece that the Japanese marked. Even so, it has been enough for me to enjoy it today. The pixelated graphics have been optimized in terms of definition, the soundtrack has been completely renewed, the interface has been improved, there are new options and of course some interesting extras have been added. If you’re from the old school, a JRPG lover or just curious who wants to understand more about a classic in the history of video games, come with me, this interests you.
FFVI and the rebirth of magic
A good RPG draws you in with its gameplay, but keeps you hooked on its plot. Final Fantasy VI is one of those video games, and I am perplexed. I say this because even today exponents of the role-playing genre come out that do not even reach the sole of the shoes. It is extraordinary what they proposed Hironobu Sakaguchi and Yoshinori Kitase way back in 1994. Despite the limitations of working in 2D during the 16-bit era, the construction of the universe, the characters and the plots are absolutely brilliant. It has drama, it has humor… it has it all.
The transition from one situation to another is vertiginous, in an adventure that narrates the disappearance of magic in favor of machines. All until a girl appears – a ray of hope. the fight of land and a group of rebels against kefka and the empire is one of the best things that the Final Fantasy saga has given us. Despite its 40 hours, and that it has many dialogues, it never gets heavy. What’s more, you pay attention to every line of the script, and even what the NPCs in the villages have to say to you (which are already big words).
I’m fascinated. I didn’t remember it being so extremely good. The number of characters that appear is amazing, and you are not always driving the main character, but there are branches that make you see the story from other angles. Additionally, the music appears to give strength to key moments, giving that point of emotion to the sprites and the few but fun animations that exist. The songs have been orchestrated for the occasion and show the highly inspired compositions of Nobuo Uematsu in his best form. Simply sensational.
The construction of the universe, the characters and the plots are absolutely greatI still remember that one of the moments I enjoyed the most was when you inserted the game and witnessed the intro screen, with a snowy landscape in Mode 7 in which the Magitek armored units were advancing. This is still here, but there is a detail that has been missing and that has been a source of criticism from everyone: Square Enix has forgotten to show the credits! This sequence was iconic because it featured the developers’ names while the game’s lavish theme song played, so here’s a big slap on the face to the company for this strange decision.
Removing this detail, the reality is that this version of the game (Pixel Remaster) seemed like a good option to remember this classic today. The game allows you to accelerate the pace of combat, has a quick save option and comes with a good translation to Spanish in all texts. Of course, I would have liked something more ambitious, such as receiving a graphic remake with the essence of Octopath Traveler or Triangle Strategy. That would have been wonderful. However, it is no less true that the original visual aspect is very charismatic, although it does lack vertical synchronization, an aspect that I cannot explain how it has not been included.
Getting fully into the gameplay, say that Final Fantasy VI behaves wonderfully well despite the passage of time. The fighting, supported by the Active Time Battle system, follow a traditional turn-based scheme, but supported by a time bar that urges you to make decisions to anticipate the actions of the enemies. This gives the set a certain tension, which also causes the difficulty to skyrocket in certain situations, such as final bosses.
The progression it is equally great. Level ups are well adjusted, as well as the presence of random encounters. There are other games where excessive grinding is necessary, but FFVI knows how to give you everything in its proper measure. This is one of the reasons why it hasn’t bothered me. To be a game with so many years, its formula is exquisite. This is supported by the fact that each of the characters that joins the group (there are numerous of them) has unique actions and abilities. For example, there are characters that, in order to activate their techniques, you have to follow commands that appear on the screen, in the “quick time event” style.
The other pillar that makes the game so satisfying is in the equipment. Obtaining gil to buy helmets, armor, weapons, and more is a very addictive process, and it also has a brutal impact on our progress. I think today’s RPGs tend to get lost in overbearing skill trees and oversized inventory. FF6 was much more restrained in this regard, with what is just and necessary to be deep, but nothing burdensome.
It was a great game when it was released, it still is now, and it probably will be.The exploration does not lag behind. The world map in mode 7 is one of those things that will be best remembered by those who played it at the time. It was very extensive, with a lot of locations to visit, including towns and caves full of monsters. I was surprised to see that going through the game is still quite an experience, especially since there are times when you don’t know where to go, and you miss that next objective indicator that almost all games have these days. But this was how it was, and I enjoyed it, despite the fact that There was a time when I got stuck, I didn’t remember how to move forward, and I had to pull the guide. Like in the old days, but this time with the Internet.
So there is no need to dwell on something that is obvious: Final Fantasy VI was a great game when it was released, it still is now, and it probably will be for a long time. The deep and complex themes that are addressed marked a turning point in the saga, making this installment one of the most beloved, also for everything that refers to its gameplay and production values. This is a good opportunity to replay it or discover it for the first time, especially if you are a classic gamer… or simply appreciate good video games, no matter how old they are. | https://d1softballnews.com/playing-final-fantasy-vi-in-2022-has-reminded-me-why-i-love-jrpgs-so-much/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:20Z |
Before the slap. Will Smith and Chris Rock‘s altercation at the 2022 Oscars made tons of headlines, but the duo’s history began well before the comedian’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.
The Saturday Night Live alum, 57, made a cameo appearance on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1995, playing Maurice, a famous actor, and Maurice’s sister, Jasmine. Rock was already a successful stand-up comedian at that point, but the Ali actor, 53, was just starting to become a household name.
Pinkett Smith, 50, also met her future husband on the set of Fresh Prince. In 1994, she auditioned to play Lisa Wilkes, the girlfriend of his character (also named Will Smith). The Magic Mike XXL actress lost the role to Nia Long, but she later gained a spouse — she and Smith tied the knot in December 1997. The couple went on to welcome son Jaden Smith, now 23, and daughter Willow Smith, now 21. (Will also shares son Trey, 29, with ex-wife Sheree Zampino.)
While Rock and the Men in Black star haven’t worked together since Fresh Prince, the Grown Ups actor and Pinkett Smith collaborated for the first time in 2005. The Matrix Reloaded star provided the voice of a hippo named Gloria in the animated film Madagascar, while Rock played a zebra named Marty. The twosome reprised their roles in the 2008 and 2012 sequels.
During the press tour for 2012’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Rock revealed that his children are big fans of Will and Pinkett Smith’s daughter, Willow. The Dogma star shares daughters Lola, 19, and Zahra, 17, with ex-wife Malaak Compton-Rock.
“Hey, my kids listen to your kids!” Rock said during an interview with Fuse at the time, recalling what he told his costar. “’21st Century Girl’ Oh, my God. And they love LMFAO, but they have no idea what it stands for.”
Four years later, however, tensions rose when Rock referenced the Smith family during his opening monologue while hosting the 2016 Oscars. The Academy faced criticism that year for a lack of diversity among the nominees.
“Jada got mad, said she’s not coming,” Rock said. “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.”
He went on to reference Will, who was snubbed that year for a nomination despite a critically acclaimed performance in the film Concussion. “It’s not fair that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated,” Rock quipped. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West.”
For a full history of Rock’s relationship with Will and Pinkett Smith, watch the video above.

March 31, 2022
Like most Eagles fans, I was bummed when Malcolm Jenkins left the Birds after the 2019 season.
The former safety was the heart and soul of the defense for six seasons, earning three Pro Bowl nods and helping the Eagles to their first Super Bowl title.
Jenkins, who never missed a game while wearing the midnight green and white, was a consummate leader on the field.
It was also a bummer to hear what may have caused Jenkins' departure from the team. Beyond the contract differences, reports emerged that Jenkins may have been let go in order to hand the locker room over to Carson Wentz — a player whose leadership qualities were constantly questioned until he was traded after the 2020 season.
But what may have bummed me out the most was that Jenkins was more than a football player during his time in Philadelphia.
Jenkins was a leader in the community through his advocacy work and charitable contributions. He set an example as a community activist and took pride in the responsibility of being a role model for others.
The New Jersey native was at the forefront of addressing social justice issues and repairing relations between police officers and Black communities in the city. He sat down with Black residents to find out what criminal justice and police reforms were most necessary. He went on ride-alongs with officers to better understand what everyday life was like for a Philly cop. And he was a strong advocate for parole reform, most notably when he called for rapper and fellow activist Meek Mill to be released from jail.
When Jenkins departed Philly, he indicated that he planned to make the city his permanent home once his football career was finished. Now, that day has come, as Jenkins announced Wednesday that he was retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Eagles and Saints. And he reinforced his love for Philly in the following tweet.
The impact this city has had on me is beyond words. Thank you 🖤🦅 https://t.co/ws0FuX0uID

A reunion between Jenkins and Philly makes too much sense. At a time when the city is implementing additional police department reforms, grappling with rising gun violence and a record number of homicides, and seeking to overcome educational challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jenkins' voice would be welcome and beneficial to the ongoing dialogue.
What I love most about Jenkins is that he doesn't just talk the talk or constantly post on social media about his activism. He walks the walk and actually puts in the work to create real change for underserved communities. Jenkins literally walked the walk two years ago when he joined in the Black Lives Matter protests in Philly following the murder of George Floyd.
Jenkins helped start the Players Coalition, an independent advocacy group that supports charities and organizations in the areas of criminal justice, education and law enforcement.
Jenkins has never been afraid to speak his mind on issues of race, whether it was critiquing the Philadelphia Police Department's culture or rebuking former teammate Drew Brees for his criticism of the national anthem protests in the NFL.
Additionally, the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation helped Philly students by providing career training programs and college scholarship funds for high school seniors. Jenkins' passion for education led him to serve as the keynote speaker at the School District of Philadelphia's virtual graduation ceremony in 2020.
Jenkins' community activism earned him multiple nominations for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year honor during his tenure in Philly.
Jenkins, 34, would join an impressive list of former Eagles who have set up their post-playing careers in Philly with the goal of having an active role in the community. Brian Dawkins and Connor Barwin are among those who have dedicated much of their time to improving the lives of others in the city.
Jenkins had an incredible six-year run with the Eagles, but his impact off the field may be greater than anything he accomplished on the field.
The best has yet to come for Jenkins, and it would only be fitting for him to continue his advocacy work by returning to Philly.

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.manisteenews.com/news/article/Washington-governor-signs-64-1-billion-17049827.php | 2022-04-01T01:39:21Z |

ICON Park has sent a formal request to the SlingShot Group, which owns the ride from which a 14-year-old boy fell to his death late Thursday, demanding the company immediately stop operating its rides at the entertainment complex.
Though the Orlando Free Fall drop tower closed indefinitely following the accident that killed Tyre Sampson, the SlingShot Group operates another ride at ICON Park, the Orlando SlingShot. The group also runs the Orlando StarFlyer, which is adjacent to the complex but not located on its property.
According to a release from the complex, ICON Park is demanding the attractions cease operation and stay closed until they are “proven to be safe by authorities.”
Representatives for the Slingshot Group did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday afternoon. John Stine, sales director with the SlingShot Group, previously said the Orlando Free Fall would remain closed until the investigations were completed.
“As the landlord of the 20-acre entertainment destination in the center of the Orlando Entertainment District, ICON Park’s mission is to provide safe, family entertainment,” ICON Park’s statement read. “We rely on our tenants to be experts at what they do.
“In the interests of public safety, ICON Park demands that the SlingShot Group suspend not only the operation of Orlando FreeFall but also the operation of Orlando SlingShot, effective immediately, continuing until such time as a thorough investigation by the appropriate authorities has been completed and all parties are satisfied that the rides are safe for the public.”
The statement said ICON Park was cooperating with the continuing investigations into the death, calling it “the saddest day in the [complex’s] history.”
A preliminary report from the ride’s operator, released by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Monday, showed the accident occurred as the ride’s magnets engaged, causing Tyre to come out of his seat. His harness was still down and “in a locked position” when the ride stopped, the report said.
The agency’s investigation into the Orlando Free Fall attraction is ongoing. Officials were at ICON Park inspecting the ride Friday.
“We hope the subsequent findings will be able to inform us all as to how this tragedy occurred and will precipitate any changes necessary to better protect patrons of amusement rides in Florida,” Commissioner Nikki Fried said in a statement.
Additional records released by the department show the employee and ride operator were most recently trained in safety and emergency procedures and ride operation on Feb. 15 and Feb. 21, respectively.
The ride’s handbook shows the maximum rider weight as 130 kg, or about 286 pounds. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Tyre weighed 330 pounds.
The Orlando Free Fall and the Orlando SlingShot opened at ICON Park Dec. 28. State records show both rides passed inspections on Dec. 15 and Dec. 20 with no issues found. Their next routine inspections would have been scheduled around six months later, in accordance with state law.
The SlingShot Group operates rides elsewhere in Florida, including the Sunset Walk SlingShot in Kissimmee. It was not immediately clear if that attraction was still running Monday.
Tyre was visiting ICON Park with a friend’s family while vacationing on spring break from Missouri. Video of the tragedy shows him appearing to slip out of his seat on the Orlando Free Fall as the ride braked.
His family has hired civil rights lawyer Ben Crump and personal injury attorney Bob Hilliard to represent them.
A makeshift memorial featuring pictures of Tyre surrounded by flowers and football memorabilia started outside the attraction over the weekend and has grown as people visit to pay their respects.
A statement posted to ICON Park’s Twitter account late Thursday said the company and its affiliated businesses were grieving Sampson’s tragic death and sending their condolences to his loved ones.
“ICON Park is committed to being a place where families can spend quality time together in a safe and fun space,” it read. “We are in close coordination and will continue to operate with law enforcement and regulators regarding our tenant, the SlingShot Group.”
About 75 people gathered Monday evening at a memorial site near FreeFall for a prayer vigil. They released red and black balloons near the ride as the sun set.
Photos of Tyre were surrounded by several teddy bears and footballs. The teenager’s family gathered signatures at the vigil for a petition to get the ride torn down and replaced with a permanent memorial to Tyre.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misidentified a woman as a family member of Tyre Sampson. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Tyre’s mother has told detectives she does not know Shay Johnson, who identified herself as Tyre’s cousin in interviews and demonstrations.

Another sad fireworks display for books. Shawn Mendes has released a new song called “When You’re Gone”, and fans can’t help but think that it’s about his breakup with Camila Cabello.
“You’ll never know how good she is / Until you see a photo of the only important girl,” says the text of the first verse of the track, which the 23—year-old Canadian singer released on Thursday, March 31. “I know what we have to do / It’s hard for me to let you go/ So I’m just trying to hold on.”
Singer In My Blood and 25-year-old singer Havana broke up in November 2021 after two years of living together. “Hi guys, we have decided to end our romantic relationship, but our love for each other as people is stronger than ever,” the former couple wrote in a joint statement on Instagram. “We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We really appreciate your support from the very beginning and in the future.”
Mendes debuted the song “When You’re Gone” earlier this month during a performance at SXSW in Austin, Texas. The Grammy nominee performed this song towards the end of his set, delighting fans in the audience and social media users eager for new music. “Sean’s new song made me cry,” one Twitter user wrote at the time along with a clip of the performance.
“I don’t want to know what it’s like when you’re not there,” read the chorus of the new track. “I don’t want to move on / I don’t want to know what it’s like when you’re gone forever / You’re slipping out of my hands / A little bit, a little bit / I didn’t know that loving you was the happiest I’ve ever been.”
Earlier this month, the “Stitches” singer spoke about how to deal with the aftermath of the split, noting that he “didn’t realize” what things would be different when he became single.
“When, for example, you break up with someone and think it’s the right thing to do. You don’t understand all the shit that’s going to follow,” Mendes said in March 2022 via a social media clip from his studio sessions, referring to the new music he wrote after breaking up with Cabello.
“It’s like, ‘Who do I call when I have a panic attack? Who should I call when I’m fucking on edge?” And I think it’s a reality, such a hit,” he said in a clip on social media from his studio sessions. “It’s like, ‘Oh, I’m on my own now.’ Now I feel like I’m finally really on my own, and I hate it, you know? This is my reality.”
Cabello, for her part, broke her silence about the split in an interview with Zane Lowe earlier this month. “As I get older, priorities change,” the former Fifth Harmony member explained. “And I feel like that was the case for both of us. Since we both started very early too, it looks like we’re really learning to be healthy adults.”
The “Crying in the Club” singer said that she and her ex-boyfriend are still on good terms. “I love Sean and I feel like there is literally nothing but love for him,” she explained. | https://www.somagnews.com/shawn-mendes-apparently-addresses-camille-cabello-split-in-new-song-when-youre-gone/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:22Z |
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — A man is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder, after investigators with the Major Case Squad said he robbed and killed a man in north St. Louis County.
David Smith, 47, was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary in connection with the death of Hossein Cyrus Rastegar.
According to charging documents, police arrived at a home on Midland Boulevard in Overland at around 10:30 Tuesday night to conduct a welfare check. When they arrived, they found the victim with his hands and feet tied behind his back by a vacuum cord that was also wrapped around the victim's neck.
Investigators said they found surveillance video of the victim's house, and saw a man in a black jacket and camouflage pants behind the home at around 10:45 that morning. After sharing the footage with area law enforcement officials, one of them recognized the man as David "Little Dave" Smith.
A witness who knew Smith told police Smith arrived at his house some time between noon and 1 p.m. with "visible signs of having been in an altercation." The witness said he let Smith change out of a black jacket and camouflage pants on his back porch.
The witness also told investigators Smith was living at a Super 8 motel, which is where police tracked him down and took him into custody.
During the investigation, investigators discovered that the victim had called police a few weeks earlier about a burglary. The victim reported that someone had taken some money from a manila envelope, but left much of the "large amount" of cash behind.
When police arrested Smith, he had $1,000 on him. When they searched the room, police found another $13,000 in cash as well as a black jacket and camouflage pants that matched those seen in the surveillance video.
Smith is being held on a $1 million, cash-only bond. | https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/crime/man-charged-murder-death-man-found-dead-welfare-check/63-322909c0-765e-47f2-9823-c181e0cd78e9 | 2022-04-01T01:39:23Z |

BIG SPRING, Texas — Making downtown Big Spring a hot spot has been in the works for years.
A few years ago, the renovation of the Settles Hotel allowed for people to look at the city as an attraction.
Now the city and the people behind the hotel are in the works of a new plaza or "reunion park."
The project is estimated to cost about $4 million and is meant to be an attraction spot and outdoor venue for everything from concerts to private events.
NewsWest 9 spoke with Shannon Thomason, the Mayor of Big Spring. He said its a big project not only for the hotel but the city as a whole.
"It's a partnership between the city and Caprock Development, which is the one of the companies owned by Brint Ryan, who developed the Settles Hotel," said Thomason. "Long story short, this project is to bring a central plaza to Downtown Big Spring."
Mayor Thomason hopes the events that happen in the new park attract people to the businesses around the area.
"The more visitors we can attract to Big Spring, the better off it is for the businesses," said Thomason. "Restaurants, gas stations and bars will benefit. It's an exciting time to be in Downtown Big Spring."
The idea of revitalizing downtown was kept in mind in the last city council meeting as a way to fund downtown projects was passed.
"In our last city council meeting we passed a new tax increment reinvestment zone for the downtown area," said Thomason. "We are actually going to start taking the property tax that is generated by downtown and the new values then reinvest those back into the downtown area."
Right now, Mayor Thomason said there is no set start date for the project, but he hopes it will be in the next few months to come. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/community/reunion-plaza-big-spring/513-1c2314ed-12d9-4f13-8675-7467c6b63cb3 | 2022-04-01T01:39:24Z |
The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don't have an answer for how that's going to happen.
"If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that's a good question for 10 Republicans to answer," said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. "Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes."
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only "a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs." Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. "Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?" Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden's social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden's agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven't abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden's economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they'd help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That's done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she's looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It's an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don't reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can't afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a "total disaster" for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
"This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition," said Glied. | https://www.wptv.com/news/national/house-passes-35-a-month-insulin-cap-as-dems-seek-wider-bill | 2022-04-01T01:39:24Z |
TOKYO, April 1 (Reuters) - Japan's manufacturing activity grew at a faster pace from the prior month in March as domestic demand got a lift from the waning impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Activity in the sector, however, saw a sharp decline in new export orders, as external demand suffered from pandemic curbs in China and Russia's war in Ukraine, which caused supply chain disruptions and price pressures to worsen.
The final au Jibun Bank Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to a seasonally adjusted 54.1 in March, up from a 53.2 flash reading and the previous month's final of 52.7.
The reading meant manufacturing activity came in above the 50.0 threshold that separates contraction from expansion for the 14th straight month.
"The Japanese manufacturing sector saw an improvement in operating conditions at the end of the first quarter," said Usamah Bhatti, economist IHS Markit, which compiles the survey.
"New order inflows saw a quickening in growth, as firms recovered from the surge in COVID-19 cases at the start of the year."
The PMI survey showed, however, that new export orders fell at the sharpest rate in 20 months, suggesting less stable conditions in overseas markets.
The drop in export orders followed the reintroduction of coronavirus restrictions in parts of China and the Russia-Ukraine war, Bhatti said. Russia calls its action in Ukraine a "special operation".
"Anecdotal evidence also linked the war to exacerbated price and supply pressures," Bhatti said.
Manufacturers recorded the steepest rise in input prices since August 2008, the survey showed, following a rapid increase in the price of oil and other raw materials.
Firms' optimism about output conditions for the 12 months ahead became slightly less positive on the downside overseas risks, while they also reported a deterioration in lead times amid material shortages.
"There was a survey-record increase in stocks of inputs as firms sought to grow safety stocks and unused inputs accumulated due to shortages of critical components," Bhatti said.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Gov. Larry Hogan on Thursday announced an agreement to dramatically increase transportation and infrastructure funding for local governments.
The bipartisan commitment would help local governments advance priority projects with an extra $663 million in grants over the next four fiscal years.
READ MORE: Maryland Paid Family Leave Program Bill Passed To GovernorThe agreement will increase the share of transportation funds that local governments receive through highway user revenue grants beginning in FY24.
The governor’s office said in FY24, the share of transportation funding for local jurisdictions will increase from 13.5% to 15.5%, and by FY27, the percentage will increase to 20%.

Hogan’s office said it was one of the governor’s priorities in the budget negotiations that resulted in the tax relief package announced earlier this week.

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."

NEW YORK (AP) — Korean pop star Luna is ready to make her Broadway debut this fall in the musical “KPOP” and she’s already dreaming of who might be there on opening night — like BTS.
“I would be thankful if they showed up on opening night,” Luna told The Associated Press through her translator.
She also wants fans and other stars to show up, too.
“This is New York City, it’s got its own celebrities and also audiences who would enjoy this. So, I would love to see New York celebrities, as well as Hollywood celebrities,” Luna said.
Luna was introduced at a press event for the musical Wednesday at the Korean Cultural Center in New York.
Luna began her musical career as a member of the popular K-pop group f(x) before becoming a solo artist. Her latest single, “Madonna,” was released in September.
Her stage resume includes Korean productions of “In the Heights” and “Mamma Mia,” and she’s excited to take her talents to Broadway.
“I have always loved doing all those ever since I was a young child, and I even liked creating some routines,” Luna said.
She added: “For this musical, I get to dance while I sing while I act, that is so exciting, and I cannot wait to do this.”
“KPOP” tells the story of global superstars preparing for a special one-night only concert, when one singer’s inner struggle threatens to dismantle one of the biggest labels in the industry.
The multimedia experience explores the relentless discipline, raw talent, and commercial ambition behind the international phenomenon.
The musical has a story by Jason Kim and music by Helen Park, who has worked on the show for the past eight years. She said she is excited that audiences will finally get to experience her favorite music genre.
“I know recently a K-pop has been really blowing up and a lot of people love the genre. But when we started writing this musical in back in 2014, I was so eager for the world to see what I see. And I wanted to share it with the world in a language that everyone can understand,” she said.
“I think musical theater is that vessel for people to hear and witness other people’s stories and feel the emotions. I really wanted the show to be doing that with the genre that I love so much,” Park said.
“KPOP” begins previews Oct. 13 at the Circle in the Square Theatre, with an opening night scheduled for Nov. 20. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/entertainment-news/korean-pop-star-luna-readies-for-broadway-debut-in-kpop/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:25Z |

LVIV, Ukraine — The main park in the middle of Chernihiv, north of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, was supposed to be safe — or so Olha Lysenko had hoped, after spending weeks in a bomb shelter as her city came under siege by Russian forces.
But when she decided to go and check the park for herself earlier this month, she was horrified to find shrapnel everywhere. There were puddles of blood all around.
"I've never seen so much blood in my life," she says. "The city cannot be restored. It has turned to rubble."
Most of Chernihiv lies in ruins, Mayor Vladyslav Atroshenko told reporters on Saturday. In this city of historic 11th and 12th century churches, whose population before the war was 300,000, infrastructure is destroyed: no power, no gas. Water is scarce and food is running low. Russian forces bombed the main escape route out of the city, south to Kyiv, trapping residents and preventing humanitarian aid from getting in.
"Our city is being wiped off the map," Atroshenko said. "It is easier to count the remaining houses that survived attacks."
The family made a lucky escape before a key bridge was destroyed
The Lysenkos don't know if their house survived the shelling; on March 21, Olha, her husband Ihor and their two kids, Yegor and Varya, managed to make it out of Chernihiv, before the bridge leading to Kyiv was destroyed. They are now among an estimated 6.5 million Ukrainians internally displaced by the war.
They joined a caravan of cars, the family and two other adults squeezed into a small sedan. A trip that normally takes a couple of hours from Chernihiv to Kyiv took more than eight on damaged roads. The fields on either side of the roads were shelled, says Ihor Lysenko. "We were lucky to escape."
Their children had a hard time in the car. They didn't eat. They didn't sleep. The loud explosions damaged 6-year-old Varya's hearing. But they had their pets to keep them company: a cat, a dog and two hamsters.
After nearly 18 hours of driving, the family finally made it on March 23 to the western city of Lviv, a refuge for those fleeing harder-hit areas in the east.
The family is trying to make plans while facing an uncertain future
They're staying in a distant relative's apartment, where Varya and her older brother Yegor play together, singing and yelling, while their parents make plans. Varya, holding a half-devoured lollipop, says her pets "were not afraid of anything!" Even the hamsters were brave.
Their mom says usually her kids are happy, full of energy, as they are right now. But she and her husband are not sure what the legacy of the war will be for Varya and Yegor.
On their way to say goodbye to their grandparents, who have stayed in Chernihiv, they encountered shelling and had to run for cover.
"They went into survival mode," their mom says. "They didn't get annoyed. They didn't complain."
Since the Russian invasion, she and Ihor have noticed small changes in their kids' behavior — for instance, when they play now, they play war games. When she asks what they are doing, the children explain they are training to fight back or pretending their toys have lost family members.
Next the family plans to travel to Chervonohrad, a small city north of Lviv, where there are fewer people. They'd like to get back to work, Olha as a psychologist, and Ihor for an IT company.
But they don't know how this experience of trauma will affect them. It's all still shocking, they say. Ihor Lysenko holds up his phone to show a photo of a spot on the ground in Chernihiv where shelling hit. He'd been in that exact spot just a minute before, he says.
Olha shakes her head. It's all still so fresh. But she knows she must move forward.
"I have to put myself in order," she says, "and heal my own traumas."

Two massive explosions on the surface of the sun could allow some residents in the Philadelphia region to catch a glimpse of the northern lights tonight through early tomorrow morning.
Otherwise known as aurora borealis, the colorful ribbons of light would be easiest to see between 9 p.m. on Thursday and 2 a.m. on Friday, CBS3 reported. However, it will be possible to view the light show at any time that it's sufficiently dark.
The lights – which are most often green, but can also be blue, violet, or red – could be visible overhead in northern parts of the region. But even the more southerly parts of metro Philly might be able to see them on the horizon, according to the University of Alaska Fairbanks' aurora forecast.
But tonight's weather could make the lights hard to see.
Meteorologists are expecting showers with periods of heavy rainfall and possible thunderstorms to roll in this evening by 7 or 8 p.m. The initial storms will most likely have passed by late evening, but there's a chance for an additional round of showers and severe thunderstorms through the overnight hours.
Those in the suburbs and rural areas will have an easier time seeing the lights, as the brightness of urban areas makes auroras and other heavenly lights harder to spot.
The lights are caused by electrically charged particles from the sun traveling to Earth via solar winds. Once the particles reach Earth's atmosphere, they interact with oxygen and nitrogen particles which causes a release of energy in the form of light. This is called a "geomagnetic storm."
The lights tend to be most visible in the arctic and antarctic regions because the electrons are deflected by the earth's magnetic field and are generally forced toward the poles, where the magnetic field is weakest, said Marian Mateling, a researcher in the University of Wisconsin's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.
Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration identified two coronal mass ejections on Monday, which is why the aurora is expected to be visible so far south tonight. A CME occurs when an area of the sun’s surface with a powerful magnetic field, called a sunspot, explodes and releases a burst of radiation and solar material.
This means there will be an especially high concentration of charged electrons in the atmosphere tonight.
X1 (R3) strong radio blackout occurred 30/1:37pm EDT from RGN 2975. Initial indications are this flare was associated with a new CME and forecasters are examining data to verify any such CME. See full story at https://t.co/00tjRHJEWf pic.twitter.com/xlRQDw6NEc

His perfect “Love Song”! Sir Elton John and David Furnish have an everlasting love story after connecting right off the bat.
“He was very well dressed, very shy,” the “Rocketman” crooner told Parade in early 2010 of their first meeting in 1993. “We fell in love very quickly. He was independent. I didn’t need to take care of him. I thought, ‘God, this is new territory for me — someone wants to be with me just because he likes me.’”
After spending nearly a dozen years together, the pair made their relationship official in December 2005 shortly after same-sex civil partnerships were declared legal in England.
The twosome — who tied the knot in December 2014 — eventually expanded their family, welcoming sons Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John in 2010 and 2013, respectively.
“For many years we have talked about fulfilling one of our greatest wishes by becoming parents,” the pianist exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2010. “And now this wish has been granted to us, we feel so blessed and lucky.”
He continued: “I’ve never felt anything like it in my life [holding Zachary for the first time]. You’re so awestruck. What can you say? You take it in. The feeling, the joy, the warmth of his body, his breathing. I will never forget that experience ever.”
While John announced his musical retirement in January 2018, he’s already passed down his interests to the duo’s children.
“They’ve obviously been exposed to a lot of music in their life,” Furnish exclusively told Us in March 2022 at the 30th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. “They both love music. All Elton and I try to do as parents is expose them to as many things as possible and encourage them to be open-minded and follow in life what they love and what they feel passionate about. That’s more important than anything. You can’t tell your kids what to do.”
John — who publicly came out as gay in 1996 — opened up about his journey and meeting the “love of [his] life” in an open letter to Zachary and Elijah.
“Looking back over the past 75 years, there is so much I am proud of, so much I have learned. As you are the two most precious parts of my life, I want to share some of those lessons with you,” the songwriter penned in a Time magazine essay in March 2022. “When I was young, I was told to fit in, to do what others expected even when it didn’t feel right. Now I realize I can only be me. Being true to myself is what gave me my voice and helped me face my greatest fears. I’ve forged deep friendships, found the love of my life and became your Daddy. Whoever you grow up to be, just be you — fully and completely you.”
He added: “I know being accepted for who you really are in the world isn’t always easy. And in my 75 years as a gay man, I have seen so much positive social change. It used to be that LGBTQ+ people were seen as ‘wrong,’ or ‘the bad guys.’ We still have a ways to go, but, your Papa and I felt safe enough to bring you both into this world. We believed you would be welcome here, as the children of two daddies.”

the era of The Walking Dead It is getting closer to its end every day. Although there is still some time left for fans to meet the last chapter of this popular zombie bet, this week it was confirmed that the series based on the Robert Kirkman comic has already finished filming its final chapter.
Through social networks, different members of the cast and crew confirmed that On March 30, the last episode of The Walking Dead was recorded.
“That’s it. 11 seasons, 12 years. He had never been so beat up and it was an absolute stunner. Thank you to everyone who took this journey with us and what a journey it was.” wrote Norman Reedus, the actor behind Daryl Dixon on his Instagram account.
All while Angela Kang, the showrunner of The Walking Dead shared a video with Lauren Cohan, the actress behind Maggie, and wrote: “Last day of filming for The Walking Dead. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes to those of us working on the show today. It has been an incredible journey.”
And for his part, Cohan pointed out: “I don’t have the words at this moment, but I want to raise my glass for the team of The Walking Dead. Thanks. 11 seasons My heart is full.”
More about The Walking Dead
From the creative team of the series, the screenwriter LaToya Morgan also made a tweet about it and last Wednesday wrote: “One last time… much love to my loving The Walking Dead family on the last day of filming! What an incredible 12 year run. Always honored to be a part of this wonderful group of gifted human beings.”
The last episode of The Walking Dead It will be directed by Greg Nicotero, who commanded several chapters of this bet that started in 2010 and said goodbye to the program with a video with Norman Reedus.
And for the avoidance of doubt, the official account of The Walking Dead on Twitter also confirmed that the filming of the series has definitely ended.
“Today (March 30) is the big day! The shooting of The Walking Dead is coming to an end. It’s been an amazing 12 years and we hope all the amazing cast and crew have a fantastic day off The Walking Dead family forever! they pointed out
The third and final batch of episodes of season 11 of The Walking Dead it will come this year. And, while that will be the end of the main series, this world will continue with spin-offs of Negan and Maggie, Carol and Darly and even an anthology series in addition to Fear The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World Beyond. | https://d1softballnews.com/the-end-of-an-era-the-walking-dead-definitively-ended-its-filming/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:26Z |
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.
“I told him right after I retired: Tell me if you need anything,” Rask said. “Just make sure you don’t get too high or too low.”

The Orlando Magic’s defense has stepped up since the All-Star break, with much of that success being tied to them trying out different schemes more.
The Magic typically play drop defense with their bigs and will occasionally hedge depending on the ball handler, but since the break they’ve been incorporating two other schemes: Zone and switching.
“The league’s gotten so good in ways guys can score,” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said. “You can’t give one package to specific guys. You’ve got to be able to play in the drop. You’ve got to be able to blitz the pick-and-roll. You’ve got to be able to mix in zone here and there. It’s so great our guys have the versatility to be able to do it.”
Orlando’s played zone slightly more since the break. The Magic have zoned 4.82 times per game since the break compared to 4.47 before the break, according to Synergy.
For the season ahead of Friday’s home game against the Toronto Raptors, the Magic allow 0.906 points per possession when in a zone vs. 0.984 points per possession when playing man-to-man defense.
“A lot of coaches say the more you work on it, the tougher to gets,” Mosley said of playing zone defense. “The zone has applied a lot of communication, which we continue to grow with. It’s helped a ton in games.”
Switching has been an even bigger part of the Magic’s defense.
When done correctly, switching helps teams keep offensive actions in front and minimize gaps for offenses to attack.
But when not done with enough discretion, offenses can weaponize a team’s switching by creating favorable mismatches, which is what the Washington Wizards did multiple times during the fourth quarter of their 127-110 Wednesday win over the Magic.
Kristaps Porziņģis (35 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists) drew three fouls — two shooting — in the fourth after a Magic guard switched onto the 7-foot-3 center, helping him go 5 of 6 on free throws in the final period and 10 of 13 overall.
“That was the key point from the beginning of the game — switch without fouling,” Mosley said. “[Porziņģis] did a great job of drawing those fouls, but those swipe downs were a lot of it.”
To Franz Wagner, switching effectively requires the team’s technique to be precise.
“If you’re just letting people run around freely it’s really hard to guard when you want to switch,” Wagner said. “And you’ve got to be able to guard one-on-one. That’s what we want to do when we switch — force people to score one-on-one on us. If they get into the paint and someone has to help, it’s hard to rotate against. If you do those two things, most of the time you have a good night.”
Orlando’s defense has produced during the past month, ranking fifth in defensive rating since Feb. 23, even as it toggles between coverages.
“It requires great communication,” Wagner said. “Not just from us, but us asking the coaches what we’re in. They’ve done a great job of that.”

ST. LOUIS — The addition of the designated hitter won’t be the only change at Busch Stadium this season.
When the St. Louis Cardinals welcome fans back next week for Major League Baseball’s 2022 season, they will experience new features at Busch Stadium, including new and expanded ways to order concessions, added food and beverage options, and an array of new promotional giveaways.
The 2022 regular season will mark the first time since 2019 the Cardinals are starting a season with normal operations at Busch Stadium. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cardinals began the 2021 season with limited attendance at Busch Stadium and the 2020 MLB regular season was staged without fans in the stands. The 2022 season comes after MLB and its players earlier this month reached an agreement to end a lockout that started in December. That agreement will bring some changes on the field in 2022, such as expanded playoffs and the institution of the designated hitter in the National League.
Among the changes fans can expect this season at Busch Stadium are new ways to order concession items. That includes the addition of new express-style concession stands where fans can grab their food and drink items and complete their purchase using a self-service kiosk.
“Just like at the grocery store, you check out your items and you’re on your way. We really think that this is going to be a really fast way of serving our guests,” said Vicki Bryant, vice president of event services and merchandising.
At the start of the season, three concession stands within Busch Stadium will have the express format, and more concession stands are expected to adopt that model as the season progresses, Bryant said.
Check out some of the changes at Busch Stadium in the gallery below.

A former Mendocino County resident was arrested this month in connection with the kidnapping of an 18-year-old Nevada woman recently found dead, the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office reported.
Troy Driver, formerly of Mendocino County, was arrested March 25, on suspicion of kidnapping related to the disappearance of Naomi Irion, who was last seen in the parking lot of a Walmart in Fernley, Nevada, on March 12.
On March 30, the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office and the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office released a joint press release announcing that the body of Irion had been found.
According to the release, on March 29 investigators from both sheriff’s offices “responded to a remote part of Churchill County following a tip regarding the disappearance of Naomi Irion. Their investigative actions led them to a possible gravesite, (where) the body of an adult Caucasian female was (found). On March 30, the remains were confirmed as those of Naomi Irion.”
Driver was arraigned this week on the kidnapping charge, but Nevada officials have not yet announced whether Driver will be charged with other crimes in connection with Irion’s death.
As a teenager, Driver was sentenced to 15 years in state prison for assisting Willits resident Alissa M. Moore in the murder of her boyfriend Paul S. Rodriguez, 19, with a 12-gauge shotgun on April 22, 1997, according to a 2013 story in The Willits News written by Linda Williams.
Williams writes that “Moore, Driver and another accomplice then stuffed Rodriguez’ body into his car trunk and dumped his body in brush where it was discovered about two weeks later.” Moore and Driver were described as only days away from turning 18, and were later charged as adults with first-degree murder.
The second accomplice, who was 19 at the time, “led police to the body. He was eventually sentenced to 9 years, 8 months in prison as an accomplice after the fact, while (Driver) was sentenced to 15 years. (Driver and the second accomplice) also admitted to a series of armed robberies and burglaries in the Willits and Ukiah area in the weeks before the murder.” | https://www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/2022/03/31/former-mendocino-county-man-charged-with-nevada-womans-kidnapping/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:29Z |
Afghanistan + 1 more
Aid sector welcomes Australia’s additional funding for Afghanistan
Canberra - Australia’s peak body for aid NGOs – the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) – has welcomed the Australian Government’s decision to boost its funding for Afghanistan today by an additional $40 million (AUD).
At the United Nations Pledging Event on Humanitarian Assistance to Afghanistan, the Australian Government announced new humanitarian funds, bringing its total commitment to $140 million for the period 2021-2024.
ACFID’s Director for Policy and Advocacy, Jessica Mackenzie, said:
“This is very welcome news and helps meet the target of $100 million per annum that the aid and development sector has been asking for. We urge the Government to disperse this funding as quickly as possible.
“We ask that they continue to commit this volume in future years and remain transparent on the outcomes being delivered to the Afghan people.”
Australia’s Special Representative to the United Nations Daniel Sloper relayed the Government’s announcement overnight (Australian time) at the UN Pledging Conference on Afghanistan, which was held virtually.
He said Afghanistan is one of the world’s most severe and protracted humanitarian emergencies, where drought coincides with the collapse of the government and government services.
“The level of human and institutional need is unprecedented. We are gravely concerned about the outlook for women and girls in Afghanistan, whose situation continues to deteriorate,” he said.
There are 12 Australian NGOs working with Afghan aid workers and organisations, generously supported by donations from the Australian public. AFCID urges the Government to provide some of the humanitarian funding through these organisations.
ACFID’s Humanitarian Advisor Natasha Chabbra said: “The government has said the money will go towards meeting urgent needs, particularly in food security and other basic requirements such as shelter and livelihoods.
“We welcome their recognition of the plight of women. Australia’s words showed their solidarity with the women and girls of Afghanistan. What we would now like to see is immediate funding of programs that directly help women.
“Since the Taliban takeover women and girls have seen their rights and autonomy be stripped away. By funding programs on sexual health, gender-based violence and protection, Australia will prove its commitment to them.”
ACFID also welcomes the Government’s announcement of an additional 16,500 humanitarian places for Afghans over the next four years.
However, Ms Mackenzie said:
“Those in Afghanistan who are at risk cannot wait four years. The government should make their resettlement an urgent priority.”

Air purification. Sutton Strack dispelled the rumor that a friend of Katie Hilton recently mistreated her assistant Josh, with the help of one photo.
Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Hilton, 63, allegedly used homophobic slurs while talking about longtime assistant Strake when the cast of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” was on a trip to Aspen. The escape was filmed for season 12 of the TV series Bravo.
The 50-year-old designer denied the accusations on social media after a fan asked: “Did Katie Hilton really use insults when talking about her assistant?” Stracke replied, “No.”
The mother-of-three doubled down on her remarks via an Instagram photo on Wednesday, March 30, showing Streke, Hilton and Josh smiling together.
“Happy #Humpday 😽 💗 💗 💗 ,” Strake captioned the selfie. “Josh is the best. And yesterday he got a promotion. He’s not my assistant anymore. He does everything we do here gracefully and stylishly, and we enjoy it!”
She added: “And @kathyhilton was kind and respectful to him.”
Kyle Richards’ sister, for her part, celebrated Josh’s promotion by commenting on the picture. ” ❤️ ❤️ 😍 😍 🥰🥰 😘 😘 “, — Hilton replied.
Josh expressed his excitement about receiving the title from Strake by posting a photo with both reality TV stars on his social network page.
“When you meet good people, hold on to them tightly,” the Louisiana native signed the Instagram post. “These are two of the most wonderful people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.”
A Strake employee joked: “And as much as I love being your ‘homosexual sidekick,’ this new adventure we’re about to embark on looks pretty exciting. Love you @suttonstracke and @kathyhilton #newadventures #workhardplayhard #goodpeople.”
Hilton congratulated the young man on his new role, adding: “You deserve all this.”
Despite reports that Hilton is abusing Josh, the mother of four seems to have a good relationship with Sutton’s employee. Hilton follows Josh on social media and has already left kind comments on his page.
Josh follows the socialite and occasionally pokes fun at Hilton in the comments section.
“It looks very beautiful.”,” Hilton wrote on March 14 in a picture of Josh dressed in a tuxedo, to which he replied: “@kathyhilton Thank you!! 🤗 😚 And happy birthday!!!”
During RHOBH’s trip to Aspen in January, Hilton first attracted attention when she commented on her husband, Rick Hilton’s Instagram page. “Please call me, I need to get away from her now!!!” she wrote at the time.
The following month, Katie claimed she left the message because she was “scared” alone in a Colorado house. She denied it in an Instagram Live interview with E! Entertainment in February that there was anything more than “squabbles” between her and the cast of RHOBH during the trip. | https://www.somagnews.com/sutton-track-from-rhobh-finally-refutes-rumors-about-katie-hilton-and-her-assistants-josh/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:29Z |

Auxly Cannabis Group, based in Toronto, lost 18.4 million Canadian dollars ($14 million) in its quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021, on record net revenue of CA$29.3 million.
Sales improved by 20% over the third quarter, which is the best among competing marijuana producers, according to a Thursday news release.
However, the adjusted EBITDA loss of CA$6 million in the fourth quarter was 30% worse than the same period one year earlier.
Auxly said it maintained the No. 1 market share position in Canada’s so-called Cannabis 2.0 products in 2021, which include vapes and edibles, increasing its market share to approximately 15%.
Overall, Auxly was the fifth-largest licensed producer in Canada by market share, securing 7.4% in the quarter, according to the release.
“We value the company’s market position, which could make it attractive to others, but debt leverage, cash burn, and ongoing negative EBITDA are concerns,” analyst Pablo Zuanic, an analyst with New York-based investment banking firm Cantor Fitzgerald, wrote in a note to investors.
“We remain concerned about cash burn and debt load. All that said, we see value in the company’s brands and market position.”
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, was relatively flat at CA$45.7 million in 2021, compared with CA$46.6 million for the same period in 2020.
For the year ended Dec. 31, 2021, net sales were CA$83.8 million, an increase of approximately CA$37.1 million over the same period of 2020.
The net loss for the year ended Dec.31, 2021, was CA$33.7 million, better than 2020’s CA$85.4 million loss.

Auxly had aimed to become adjusted EBITDA-positive by the end of 2021 but was unable to do so. The company cited issues such as:
- Global supply-chain constraints.
- Increased cost of goods.
- Price compression.
- Equipment delays.
Auxly said its objectives for 2022 are to:
- Improve revenue and gross profit margin to reach positive adjusted EBITDA.
- Win with consumers and increase brand traction.
Earlier this year, Auxly said it was closing its Nova Scotia marijuana cultivation facilities in Kentville and Hortonville, affecting roughly 55 jobs.
The company had cash and equivalents worth CA$14.8 million as of Dec. 31, 2021.

ODESSA, Texas — With the big school bond proposal planned for the Ector County ballot in May, one local group is showing its support.
Odessans for Education held a press conference on Thursday to let ECISD know the group is behind the $398 million bond.
There are two parts of the bond, with one focusing on maintenance and repairs for existing buildings as well as upgrading tech in the school. It will also provide for a new career and technical education center to be built.
"Pretty much everyone that lives here is tied to oil and gas in some way and we want to grow a workforce that can do those highly technical jobs, as well as nursing all areas of health care, all areas of education and everything in the community that requires, which is every job, high technological skills moving forward. So we want to prepare our kids for their future," said Lorraine Perryman.
The second proposition is dedicated towards the building of a third high school.
Odessans For Education says it supports both propositions.
Voters will be able to decide whether both, one or neither part of the bond passes during the May 7 election. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/education/odessans-for-education-supports-school-bond/513-97aea973-4580-4e5d-9f69-dc5eb70b3228 | 2022-04-01T01:39:30Z |

The Bombay High Court earlier this month said that the law respects possession and forbids forcible dispossession. It said that even if a person doesn't have a right to property but is in peaceful possession of the same, s/he cant be dispossessed only after following the due process of law.
A bench of Justice Bharati Dangre was dealing with a plea filed by Manjulaben Shah, who claims to be the second wife of one Meghji Shah, challenging the decision of a city civil court that had passed orders in favor of Madhuriben Shah, the first wife of Meghji, with regards to the possession of a flat in Borivali.
As per the original suit filed by Madhuriben under the Specific Relief Act, she claimed that she was in a 'settled and continuous' possession of the flat from 1983 till July 2008, when Manjulaben along with some men forcibly dispossessed her.
Madhuriben claimed that she was living in the said flat along with her daughters since 1983, however, in July 2008, Manjulaben along with some men, entered the house, when it was being furnished by carpenters. She claimed that the men locked the carpenters in a room and threw all her furniture and other belongings on the building's terrace.
Justice Dangre noted the fact that to prove her continuous possession, Madhuriben had adduced evidence such as the ration card, election, and other identity cards, slips of various deliveries made to her at the address of the said flat. She even furnished the electricity bills in her name to prove her peaceful possession.
On the other hand, Manjulaben contended that just because she and Madhuriben had cordial relations, she had allowed her to stay in the subject flat as her (Madhuriben) only son was harassing her. She claimed that the keys to the said flat were always with her. She even argued that Madhuriben had no entitlement to the house as she wasn't the original owner. The city civil court, however, considered only the specific issue of possession and not ownership and accordingly passed orders in favor of Madhuriben.
Considering the facts of the case, Justice Dangre said, "Law respects possession and forbids forcible dispossession, even with the basis of the title, a person who is in settled possession of the property, even on the assumption that he had no right to remain on the property, cannot be dispossessed except, by due process of law."
"The disputed questions of title would be decided by the competent court by adhering to the prescribed process of law, but the peaceful possession is to be protected from the trespasser without regard to the question of the origin of the possession," the judge added.
"Madhuriben being in peaceful possession of the suit property is entitled to retain her possession and in order to protect her possession, she may be entitled to use reasonable force to keep out the defendant (Manjulaben), who is not the owner of the premises," Justice Dangre said, adding, "Law comes to the aid of a person who is in peaceful and settled possession, by injuncting even a rightful owner from using force and also by restoring him in possession even from the rightful owner, if the latter dispossesses the prior possessor by use of force."
"In absence of proof of better title, possession or prior peaceful settled possession is itself admissible as evidence of title, since law presumes possession to go with the title unless rebutted. If the possession is settled or effective, though, without title, it would be entitled to be protected even as against the two owners," the judge added.
"A casual act of possession would not have the effect of interrupting the possession of the rightful owner. The rightful owner may reenter and reinstate himself provided he does not use more force than necessary. Such entry will be viewed only as a resistance to an intrusion upon possession that has never been lost. The persons in possession by a stray act of trespass, a possession which has not matured into settled possession, constitute an unlawful assembly, giving the right to the true owner, though not in actual possession at the time, to remove the obstruction even by using necessary force," the judge observed further.
The bench accordingly dismissed the plea filed by Manjulaben.

BOSTON (AP) — A bill aimed at banning discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles in workplaces, school districts, and school-related organizations was unanimously approved Thursday by the Massachusetts Senate.
The vote comes two weeks after the Massachusetts House approved a similar bill.
READ MORE: Mother Running Boston Marathon For Dana-Farber After Son Treated For LeukemiaSupporters say Black women in particular have faced pressure in school and the workplace to alter their hair to conform to policies biased against natural hairstyles.
The Senate added a provision to the House version of the bill that would include the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to the list of school entities banned from adopting and implementing restrictions on natural hairstyles.
Advocates say the change will ensure those participating in sports and extracurricular activities will not be asked to change their natural or protective hairstyles in order to participate.
The bill has its roots in the case of a Massachusetts charter school that came under fire in 2017 for a policy of banning hair braid extensions. After intense criticism, the school abandoned the policy.
READ MORE: Family Of Marine Daniel Martinez To File Lawsuit Against Sons Of Boston After Deadly Stabbing Outside BarThe U.S. House also approved a bill earlier this month that would bar discrimination against Black people who wear hairstyles like Afros, cornrows or tightly coiled twists in society, school and the workplace. The federal bill would explicitly say that such discrimination is a violation of federal civil rights law.
President Joe Biden has said he would sign the bill into law. It now heads to the U.S. Senate.
Lawmakers in the Massachusetts House and Senate now have to come up with a single version of the bill before taking a final vote and shipping it to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker for his signature.
If signed into law, Massachusetts would become the fifteenth state to adopt the measure, known as the CROWN Act.

The House of Representatives voted Thursday to approve legislation that would limit cost-sharing for insulin under private health insurance and Medicare. The vote was 232-193, with 12 Republican members joining their Democratic colleagues to pass the measure.
The Affordable Insulin Now Act would cap insulin prices at either $35 a month or 25% of an insurance plan's negotiated price — whichever is lower. The legislation aims to take effect in 2023 but its fate in the Senate remains unclear.
"This is a kitchen table issue, "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said to reporters ahead of the bill's passage on Thursday.
"One in four Americans is forced to skip or ration doses of insulin and that's life-threatening," she said, noting the legislation "paves the way" for further action on negotiating lower drug prices beyond insulin.
Advocates of the legislation point to data from the Health Care Cost Institute, an independent nonprofit that studies health care prices, which shows prices for insulin doubled between 2012 and 2016.
"No one should have to choose between taking their medication as prescribed and putting food on the table or a roof over their head," said Rep. Dan Kildee, one of three Democratic lawmakers who sponsored the legislation.
"As a father of a type 1 diabetic, I have seen firsthand how the high price of prescription drugs like insulin can harm patients and harm families," the Michigan Democrat said during debate on the House floor. "When my daughter turned 26 and got her own health insurance, there were months where she spent a third of her take home pay because she's diabetic on staying alive."
Critics of the bill argue the cap alone doesn't do enough to solve the underlying problem of rising prescription drug prices.
"We want lower prices for drugs, particularly for insulin," said Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga, during debate. "But instead of fixing a broken system, this bill aims to control it," he adding, calling the bill a "socialist plan."
House Democrats passed legislation in November as part of a broader spending package that would have enabled Medicare to negotiate lower prices for various prescription drugs.
Because that package remains stalled in the Senate, Democrats are working to more narrowly tackle making common drugs like insulin more affordable.
There is a similar bipartisan effort under way in the Senate but its path is unclear as Republicans have traditionally been opposed to price caps.

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.”

An honest approach. Over the years, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been transparent about their evolving marriage and the bumps in the road.
Smith and Pinkett Smith’s relationship made waves in June 2020 when August Alsina claimed that he was recently in a relationship with the Scream 2 star. At the time, the singer noted that Smith was aware of his connection with his wife.
One month later, the Girls Trip actress addressed her “entanglement” with Alsina. “Yes, it was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain, and I was very broken,” she revealed on Red Table Talk in July 2020. “Now in the process of that 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 were through a brief separation. “I was done with your ass. I was done with you,” he joked at the time, referring to a split in 2015. “Marriages have that, though. We decided that we were going to separate for a period of time, 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 be over.”
That same month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that discussing their issues in an open forum brought the couple to a better place.
“The Smiths as a family are really glad they addressed this and put everything out in the open,” the insider explained. “Will and Jada, at the end of the day, are like a normal couple who just happen to be glorified because they’re famous. They have fought. They have reconciled. At the end of the day, they do love each other.”
The Philadelphia native later elaborated on when monogamy was explored in his marriage. “Jada never believed in conventional marriage … Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship,” Smith, who has been married to Pinkett Smith since 1997, told GQ in September 2021. “So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up.”
Smith noted that their expectations in their relationship changed as they got older. “There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection?” he continued. “And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection.”
Amid further speculation of cheating, Smith shut down assumptions from people who weren’t familiar with the couple. “Never. There’s never been infidelity in our marriage,” he said on CBS Sunday Morning, noting that the pair “talk about everything” with one another. “And we have never surprised one another with anything ever.”
For the I am Legend star, communication helped led him and Pinkett Smith to a better place.
“But the heart and soul of our union was then, and is still today, intense, luminescent conversation. Even to the writing of this very sentence, if Jada and I begin a conversation, it is a minimum two-hour endeavor. And it is not uncommon that we talk for five or six hours at a stretch,” he wrote in his memoir, which was released in November 2021. “Our joy of pondering and pursuing the mysteries of the universe, through the mirror of each other’s experience, is unbridled ecstasy. Even in the depths of disagreement, there is nothing in this world that either of us more cherishes or enjoys than the opportunity to grow and learn from each other through passionate communication.”
In March 2022, Smith raised eyebrows when he slapped Chris Rock during the 94th annual Academy Awards after Rock joked about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. The Hitch star hit Rock before yelling, “Keep my wife’s name out your f—king mouth.”
The incident had Hollywood divided, with some stars questioning Smith’s reaction and others defending him for standing up for his wife. Pinkett Smith, for her part, rolled her eyes at Rock’s joke after being candid about her alopecia diagnosis since 2018.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Russell Knox recorded four straight birdies on the back nine and fired a 7-under 65 on Thursday for a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Valero Texas Open.
Knox closed out his round with a seven-foot putt to save par at the par-5 18th at TPC San Antonio, and was one shot ahead of Rasmus Hojgaard.
Hojgaard fired a 66 despite a double bogey on his final hole. Matt Kuchar is another stroke back after an opening 5-under 67 and is among a group that includes Denny McCarthy, Aaron Rei and J.J. Spaun.
Defending champ Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy finished at even-par 72. They were outside the top 60 after one round and could flirt with the cut line on Friday.
Bryson DeChambeau had a 1-over 73. After holing a bunker shot for eagle on his 11th hole and following with a birdie on the next, he made bogey on four of his last six holes.
Knox, a 32-year-old Scotsman with two career PGA Tour wins, started his birdie streak at No. 12. All of his birdie putts were inside 10 feet. At the 15th, he was about 20 feet away from a back pin position following his approach and chipped in from the fringe. It was his second chip-in in the round.
“That was one of those kind of bonus birdies that you need when you’re going to have a good day,” Knox said. “Obviously thrilled with the round. It’s been more of the way I want to play.”
Hogjaard, a 21-year-old from Denmark and two-rime winner on the European Tour, had his sights on the first-round lead heading to his closing hole. But, his drive sailed well left of the fairway. It took him four shots to reach the green on the par-4 ninth.
“I had to chip sideways back into the fairway,” he said. “Just was a little too aggressive after that. Yeah, short-sided myself and I didn’t get up and down and suddenly you walk away with double-bogey. Yeah, that was a bit annoying, but it happens.”
Kuchar was 5 under after 11 holes. Thirty feet away from the pin on the next hole, he failed to get up and down and missed a seven-foot putt for par. He got a shot back with a birdie on his 14th hole, and parred out, falling short in a bid to match his season-best round of 64 at the Sony Open, where he finished in the top 10.
“A lot of good and bad that can happen here on this course,” Kuchar said. “I was kind of managing early on in the round and then found a little something on about the fifth or sixth hole. I started having some birdie chances and converted on a few late in my first nine.”
Kuchar has won nine times on the PGA Tour. McCarthy, Rai and Spaun are looking for their first.

This one feels like it certainly deserves a QUACK.
On Thursday afternoon, Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team scored a massive recruiting win, landing the commitment of 5-star small forward Marquis ‘Mookie’ Cook, a player from Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona.
Cook, who is rated by 247Sports as the No. 4 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class, chose to come to Oregon over the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats.
A chance to play in Eugene is important for Cook, who is a native of Portland, Oregon. At 6-foot-7, 200 pounds, Cook rates as the No. 2 SF in the nation, and No. 1 player in the state of Arizona.
This is just the second member of Oregon’s 2023 recruiting class, where West Linn’s Jackson Shelstad stood as the lone member until Thursday. Shelstad is a 6-foot point guard who is ranked as a 4-star player, the No. 1 prospect in the state of Oregon.
The 2023 recruiting year is still very young, but the addition of Cook boosts Oregon up to No. 2 in the national ranking, ahead of teams like Arizona, Purdue, North Carolina, and Kentucky. They only trail the Duke Blue Devils at this point. This is coming off of a year where the Ducks finished No. 15 in the 2022 recruiting rankings, adding 5-star C Kel’el Ware and 5-star PG Dior Johnson.

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.

Back to normal. Tomorrow, Friday 1 April, after two years Italy will say goodbye to the covid state of emergency. The gradual easing of anti-coronavirus measures and more restrictive rules to limit the contagion from covid-19 will therefore start. What will change and what will not change? From the green pass, to the super green pass, passing through masks and quarantines, the Government has set up a sort of calendar that removes the imposed restrictions.
The biggest news is that from 1 April the green pass will no longer be necessary to go to the hairdresser, to the bank, to public offices. Stop the green certificate also on vehicles, in outdoor restaurants, museums, spas and cultural centers.
On the other hand, the basic green pass remains for accessing the workplace. All this until April 30th. From May 1st, then, other news with the farewell to the code that certifies the vaccine, the cure or the negative anti-covid tampon, even in the workplace, and if the infections allow it also the obligation to wear the ffp2 masks on the public transport.
Quarantines and masks
From 1 April only those infected with covid will go into quarantine. Close contacts of a positive will now all apply self-monitoring for 10 days, with the need to wear the Ffp2 mask indoors and swab after 5 days (or sooner if symptoms appear). The mask remains mandatory indoors until April 30, excluding private homes, when it is not possible to maintain the distance. The surgical mask will suffice for work.
What changes on buses, trams, planes, ships and trains
From 1 April the green pass will no longer be used to travel on public transport of local transport. Until the end of next month, however, it will not be possible to say goodbye to FFp2 masks to get on buses, trams and subways. Those who travel on planes, ships, ferries, trains and long-distance buses, on the other hand, need the basic green document (the swab with negative results to which they were subjected in the previous 48 hours is also valid) + ffp2 mask. Then we go to the free all. From 1 May, unless extended, the obligation of the protective device will also lapse.
The rules for the school from April 1st
As the Ministry of Education points out, in all institutions of the education, school and training system, the use of surgical masks (or masks of greater protective efficacy) remains, except for children up to six years of age and for people with pathologies or disabilities incompatible with the use of masks.
Regarding the management of positive cases. In kindergartens and early childhood education services: in the presence of at least four cases of positivity among pupils in the same section / class group, the activities continue in the presence and for teachers and educators, as well as for girls and children over the age of six, the use of the Ffp2 masks is foreseen for ten days from the last contact with the positive subject. If symptoms appear, an antigen test (rapid or self-administered) or molecular test is mandatory. If you are still symptomatic, the test must be repeated on the fifth day following the date of the last contact. In this case the negative result of the test is certified with self-certification. The vaccination obligation for all school staff remains until 15 June.
The rules for bars, restaurants and hotels
To consume indoors, at the counter or sitting at the table, from 1 April in bars and restaurants it will be sufficient to show the basic green pass (the one you get with a tampon and which lasts 48 hours). Basic green pass also required to access the canteens. Via the Green pass, even the basic one, instead, if you sit at the outdoor tables of bars and restaurants. From Friday to April, therefore, there is no obligation to present the green pass in hotels and other accommodation facilities.
What changes in offices, shops and swimming pools
Smart working can be applied until June 30 without entering into individual agreements with workers. From 1 April, the green pass, neither the super nor the basic one, will no longer be necessary to access the bank, post office or public offices. Same thing in shops and shopping centers, where green certification will no longer be needed. Both in shops and in public offices it will be enough to wear the surgical mask. Until April 30, to access the swimming pools and gyms you will still need to be in possession of the Super green pass.
The over 50 and the vaccination obligation
From April 1st, the over 50s will no longer have to have the so-called green pass strengthened at work, but the basic green pass will be sufficient until April 30th, so there will no longer be suspension from work in the absence of a super green pass. However, the vaccination obligation remains until 15 June. The suspension in the absence of Covid-19 vaccination will remain only for healthcare personnel, hospital workers and RSA workers. Only for them, and therefore no longer for school workers, the security sector and law enforcement, there is an extension of the vaccine obligation to 31 December. For teachers as well as for police, defense, public rescue, local police and university workers, the vaccination obligation remains until June 15, 2022.
The rules for the stadium
To go to the stadium you will need the basic green pass. In sports facilities, in the case of indoor events, the Super green pass is still required. In the latter case, it is also necessary to wear the Ffp2 mask. From 1 April the capacity of stadiums and sports facilities returns to 100%, both indoors and outdoors.
The rules for museums, cinemas and theaters
From Friday 1 April the rules and methods of access to places of culture and entertainment change. With the end of the state of emergency, in fact, the Super green pass will no longer be necessary – at least until April 30 – to participate in the shows that take place outdoors. Different, however, the rules for those indoors.
For access to museums, archaeological parks, exhibitions, archives, libraries and other places of culture, inform the Ministry of Culture in a note, the possession of the reinforced green pass or the basic one is no longer required. The obligation to use surgical masks remains. With regard to cinemas, theaters and concerts from 1 to 30 April 2022, for participation in the shows that take place indoors, the possession of the so-called reinforced green pass and the obligation to wear FFP2 masks is required. From 1 to 30 April 2022, for participation in the shows that take place outdoors, the so-called basic green pass and the obligation to wear FFP2 masks are required.
Private parties and discos
To celebrate weddings, graduations, birthdays, communions, the rules do not change: all participants must still have the Super green pass. The Super green pass is also required to go to the disco, where the surgical mask will be sufficient, to be removed while dancing. The discos will return to full capacity. | https://d1softballnews.com/the-new-covid-rules-on-green-passes-masks-transport-and-school/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:34Z |

Many gardeners are busy pruning shrubs to remove winter damage, control the size, or provide a bit of shaping before the season is well under way. Save some of the branches or cut a few from spring flowering shrubs to brighten your indoors. You’ll enjoy the added spring color provided by branches of forsythia, quince, pussy willows, and other spring flowering shrubs for bouquets and arrangements.
Use a pair of sharp bypass pruners with two sharp blades that cut like scissors. These make clean cuts allowing the wound to close quickly and reducing the risk of insects and diseases moving in. Start by removing crossing or winter damaged branches. This helps manage plant growth while harvesting some stems for your enjoyment. Look for stems at least 12 inches long with lots of flowers or buds to maximize flowering. Make cuts above a healthy outward bud, where a branch joins another branch or just above ground level.
Combine planned renewal pruning with a bit of indoor enjoyment. Remove a few of the older stems of forsythia, lilac, and other multi-stemmed spring flowering shrubs back to ground level. This encourages new growth at the base of the plant. Cut the larger branches down to a useable size for your indoor enjoyment.
Then finish any needed pruning after the plants put on their spring display so they can form new flower buds next spring. Avoid severe pruning that can result in excess growth. Removing no more than one fourth of the total growth will result in more even growth. Repeat as needed for the next year or two to reduce the size and improve the beauty of overgrown plants.
Harvest stems for forcing on a sunny day or when temperatures are above freezing for better results. Don’t smash the stems as often recommended. Instead make one or more slits in a crosshatch or star pattern on the bottom of the stems before placing them in water immediately after cutting.
If possible, submerge the whole stems in a tub of water overnight. This encourages the stems and buds to absorb water and break dormancy. Set the stems in a bucket of cool water, about 60 to 65 degrees F, in a bright but indirectly lit location after soaking overnight or immediately after pruning. Mist the stems as often as possible the first few days or place a plastic bag over the stems to boost humidity and prevent the buds from dropping. Change the water every two or three days making sure the cut ends of the stems are always in the water.
The buds should start swelling and flowers start to appear in several weeks. Cut the stems to the needed length and use them in flower arrangements. They look great mixed with spring flowering bulbs, greens and other spring flowers from your garden or florist. Or display them in a vase all on their own.
Continue cutting and forcing a variety of branches over time for continuous indoor bloom. Prolong their beauty by moving the flowering stems and flower arrangements to a cooler location at night.
Make notes on what worked well in spring arrangements to help you plan for next year. Whether you force them into bloom or harvest when in bloom, you will enjoy the added spring color indoors.

WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don't have an answer for how that's going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that's a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs." Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?" Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden's social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden's agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven't abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden's economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they'd help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That's done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she's looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don't reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied. | https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/nation-world/insulin-cap-35-dollars-month-bill/507-855508ee-6b9d-4ce8-9937-22fa115af232 | 2022-04-01T01:39:35Z |

34-year-old Ri proudly showed off her growing tummy in a transparent organza top with a high collar and a black bandeau underneath at the Chateau Marmont party on Sunday evening.
With a black sequined maxi skirt, black gloves with sequins up to the elbow and large ceramic diamond earrings from Wilfredo Rosado, the chart leader poses from all possible angles in his Instagram post, giving fans a better look at the sides and back. her glamorous outfit.
In one shot, she walks up the stairs, showing off the dramatic train of her sequined skirt and very long curls, and in another she cradles her stomach, thoughtfully looking to the side and giving us a full side view of the outfit.
She signed her photos: “Me and my girlfriend at the Golden Oscar party #bump22.”
The We Found Love singer, who is expecting her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky, joined stars such as Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Timothy Chalamet, Rosario Dawson, Tyler Perry and Zoe Kravitz at a party that sparked controversy when protesters showed up to boycott the party due to workers’ rights issues in the famous hotel.
Of course, this is not the first time Ri has bared her bump; this year she presented a series of stunning maternity looks, ranging from an unbuttoned Chanel down jacket from the 1990s to a shiny silver two-piece suit at the Fenty Beauty Ulta presentation in early March.
While the Bad Girl has not yet announced the date of her birth, last week Annushka noticed a star with a fancy bracelet with pendants that can give a hint.
The $51,991 bracelet was given to her by A$AP Rocky on her 34th birthday, and among the sweet pendants there is an emerald medallion associated with May, as well as three other green pendants.
If we have two more months of stunning images for pregnant women, we will enjoy every fabulous fashion moment. | https://www.somagnews.com/take-a-look-at-rihannas-transparent-dress-after-the-oscar-2022-party-from-all-sides/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:35Z |

WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don't have an answer for how that's going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that's a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs." Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?" Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden's social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden's agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven't abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden's economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they'd help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That's done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she's looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don't reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/nation-world/insulin-cap-35-dollars-month-bill/507-855508ee-6b9d-4ce8-9937-22fa115af232 | 2022-04-01T01:39:36Z |

New Delhi: Because of the Covid pandemic and lockdown, most of us are working from home, and our time spent on digital screens has increased. You spend almost the entire day staring at your laptop or computer screen. The situation is similar for adults and children who are not working but are watching TV or using social media. Because of the increase in digital screen time, your eyes are under more strain than usual. There are some things you should do to keep your two most valuable assets (your eyes) safe and secure.
1. Keep laptop/computer at proper distance: Many people use their digital devices by holding them up to their eyes. Such people are frequently at a higher risk of developing eye problems, especially when combined with long hours at the workplace. It is always best to keep your laptop at arm's length. That is, the screen should be at an appropriate distance from your eyes. Your screen should be at least an arm's length (25 inches) away and slightly lower than eye level. This reduces the strain on the eyes and reduces the intensity of the light.
2. Adjust your screen position and brightness: The placement of your screen is more important than you realise. In fact, it has a significant impact on how your eyes feel after a long day at work. Adjust the screen position and brightness so that you can work on your system without straining or focusing too hard. If your eyes are too weak, however, you should see a doctor.
3. Try to work in natural light: Always try to work in natural light rather than using LED or tube lights. When sunlight enters your room through doors and windows, it relaxes your eyes. It also aids you in remaining active throughout the day.
4. Take regular breaks: One of the most important things to remember when working from home is to take regular breaks. This is one effective piece of advice that many people disregard because they are constantly focused on their work. However, it is recommended that you take your gaze away from the screen for at least 5 minutes every hour. It also improves your concentration and productivity. This is an all-around win-win situation! So remember to take breaks.
5. Practice eye exercises: Take some time every 24 hours to do some regular eye exercises. Your eyes, like any other muscle, require regular exercise to stay strong and healthy. The 20-20-20 rule is one such simple exercise that you can do while working from home. After every 20 minutes, look away from your screen for 20 seconds and focus on any object 20 feet away.

Decoded: How smoking impacts eye6. Don't forget to blink: In general, you blink every four seconds, but some studies show that this decreases by more than half when working with digital screens. Make an effort to blink as frequently as possible to keep your eyes moisturised and prevent them from becoming dry and irritated.
7. Use bigger fonts: The size of the fonts on your laptop or computer can often influence how our eyes feel. The smaller the font, the more strain on the eyes. This is due to the fact that smaller fonts require more focus while reading, causing your eyes to strain. So, while reading long documents, adjust the screen font as much as possible.
8. Ensure proper lighting: Glare is a major cause of eye strain. Glare on a digital screen is caused by harsh overhead lighting or light from windows, which are usually directly behind or in front of you. Position your computer/laptop screen to avoid glare and, if necessary, use drapes or blinds on windows.
9. Stay hydrated: Sufficient liquid intake is critical to the overall health of your body, including your eyes. You can keep your eyes from becoming dry and irritated if you stay hydrated.
10. Get an eye test: Regular eye examinations are essential for maintaining good eye health at work. Unless advised otherwise by an optician or a health professional, schedule one every two years. An optometrist or ophthalmologist can detect eye problems before they rob you of your vision.
(Dr. Anurag Wahi, Senior Consultant, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals)

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.”
READ MORE: Bill Banning Hairstyle Bias Approved By Massachusetts SenateA 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.”
READ MORE: Mother Running Boston Marathon For Dana-Farber After Son Treated For LeukemiaWhile 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.
“I told him right after I retired: Tell me if you need anything,” Rask said. “Just make sure you don’t get too high or too low.”

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

Pirates acquire Josh VanMeter from D-backs
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Josh VanMeter from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday in exchange for a pitching prospect.
VanMeter, 27, appeared in a career-high 112 games for Arizona last season. He hit .212 with six home runs, 36 RBIs and three stolen bases.
In 233 career games, VanMeter is hitting .212 with 16 homers, 65 RBIs and 13 steals.
The Diamondbacks received right-hander Listher Sosa in exchange for VanMeter. The 20-year-old Sosa went 3-1 with a 4.31 ERA in 11 games (two starts) for a pair of rookie-league teams last season. He struck out 33 batters in 31 1/3 innings.

Afghanistan + 1 more
The United States provides nearly $204 million in new funding to address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan
Office of Press Relations
press@usaid.gov
Today at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, United Kingdom, Germany, and Qatar-hosted virtual pledging conference, the United States announced it is providing nearly $204 million in additional humanitarian assistance for the people of Afghanistan. This funding includes over $70 million through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and continues America’s enduring support of the Afghan people, bringing the total U.S. humanitarian assistance for Afghanistan to more than $4.6 billion since 2002, the largest amount of assistance from any country.
The assistance announced today will enable USAID partners to provide trauma care and essential health services, including deploying mobile medical teams for Afghans beyond the reach of the health system, as well as training of health staff; cash assistance to support non-food items such as heating fuel and other basic needs; nutrition; shelter; water, sanitation, and hygiene assistance; and other basic household items for people most impacted by Afghanistan’s ongoing humanitarian crisis. This funding also supports protection activities, to address the increasing vulnerabilities of women and girls since the Taliban takeover. USAID partners work with the health, nutrition, and education sectors to identify those in need of protection assistance and safely provide support—including safe spaces and psychosocial support for women and girls, case management for survivors of gender-based violence, training for social workers and community case workers, and programs to reunite children separated from their families. Finally, this new funding will support humanitarian coordination efforts with the UN and non-governmental organizations to identify and plan against urgent needs and any gaps in response support for the most vulnerable.
Today’s announcement builds on previous USAID humanitarian assistance delivered over the last year to address life-threatening hunger and acute malnutrition as more than 22 million people in Afghanistan are facing extreme food insecurity.
The United States remains committed to delivering aid to the most vulnerable in Afghanistan, and we commend the pledges made at today’s donor event. Continued immediate, significant, and sustained assistance is desperately needed to address critical humanitarian needs, and to help alleviate urgent needs of the most vulnerable people. While the United States remains committed to supporting the humanitarian needs of the Afghan people, we continue to press Taliban leadership to reverse its decision to restrict the human rights of Afghan girls to receive an education. This decision by the Taliban, if it is not swiftly reversed, will profoundly harm the Afghan people, the country’s prospects for economic growth, and the Taliban’s ambition to improve their relations with the international community.
