Making moves! Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee is ready to start fresh following his dramatic stint on Love Is Blind season 2.
The 33-year-old Netflix personality exclusively tells Us Weekly that he’s moving to Miami and will “hopefully” be completely settled in Florida by the end of the summer. However, his location isn’t the only major life change he has in the works.
“I’m taking a break from being a vet,” he reveals. “The vet field is amazing in so many ways, but it’s also incredibly draining, both physically and emotionally.”
Shake is shifting his focus to “new opportunities popping up in the crypto and NFT space,” he explains. “I’m not saying I’ll never go back to being a vet,” he adds. “But right now, it’s just not where my heart is. … I’m honored to be able to care for pets and take care of animals. It’ll always hold a special place in my heart, and for all I know, I might go back to that one day. But it probably won’t be this year.”
The aspiring DJ didn’t need to do “a lot of thinking” before deciding to move to the same city as his girlfriend, Emily Wilson. “Sometimes life pushes you in the right direction,” he tells Us. “I’ve been in Chicago most of my life and I’m ready for a new city, a warmer city. And musically, as a DJ, I already have a lot of contacts there and opportunities there.”
Fans met Shake during the second season of Love Is Blind, which premiered in February. While in the pods, he got engaged to Deepti Vempati, but the twosome didn’t get their happy ending. Throughout their relationship, Shake frequently told their costars that he didn’t feel physically attracted to the 31-year-old data analyst, who left him at the altar on their wedding day.
“There’s a lot of things that he said that he didn’t say to my face and [things] I’ve heard from other cast members,” Deepti exclusively told Us ahead of the season 2 finale. “I just don’t have room for anybody in my life that doesn’t see me in the best way. And who could even think those types of thoughts, I guess.”
The exes sparred on camera during the heated reunion special, which also pitted Shake against cohosts Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey. Despite the drama, Shake has made it clear that he’s moving on, debuting his new romance via Instagram earlier this month.
“Good things come to those who w̶a̶i̶t̶ don’t settle ❤️,” he captioned the March 17 social media upload, seemingly dissing his former fiancée while confirming his relationship with Emily.
Before Shake planned his Miami move, a source exclusively told Us that the couple were “making long distance work” after meeting while Shake was visiting the Sunshine State.
“It’s moved really quickly,” the source said of the pair’s romance. “She’s really, really happy, and it seems pretty serious — as serious it can be after a couple weeks of dating. She thinks that he could be The One — it’s that type of seriousness. Like, a love-at-first-sight type of relationship.”

TOKYO (AP) — Starting out with funny videos and chat over Mario Kart racing games, two Ukrainian brothers have added a somber tone to their YouTube channel popular with young Japanese with updates from their country that bring the harsh realities of war closer to Japan.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine began just after the duo, Sava Tkachov, 26, and his younger brother Yan, 20, celebrated the second anniversary of their YouTube debut with subscribers exceeding 2 million for their Sawayan Channel and Sawayan Gamesthat Sava hosts.
The first word of war came from their father, a business consultant who had returned to Kyiv two months ago just before Russian troops rolled in and has stayed since to help defend his country. The siblings’ YouTube content, which used to be full of pranks, jokes and action videos, has become more serious.
Worried about their 53-year-old father and friends in Ukraine, the brothers in early March announced on their channel that they planned to volunteer as defenders too. It triggered a wave of reactions, some supporting and others criticizing them.
The father objected and the Tkachovs, who have no military training, abandoned the idea, especially when Sava said he received long and serious messages from some of his teenage fans showing their willingness to follow the brothers to Ukraine.
“By sending out messages through our channel, I made kids want to go to war and I cannot say if it was good or bad,” Sava said at a news conference Thursday. “But at least it was meaningful that they became interested in the issue. Fighting the war on the front-line is not the only way.”
Sava, who uses the handle “No War,” instead turned his gaming channel into a driver for donations and charity game events. He collected some 3.6 million yen ($29,500) in three hours, and donated entirely to the Ukrainian Embassy.
The siblings said they also started receiving messages from parents saying their children started thinking about peace and others thanking them for raising important social issues.
“I believe the merit of YouTube is I can convey the real information from the ground that my father is sharing with us about the situation that is very up to date, and I can stream that online almost immediately, so in that sense it could be much faster and accurate than news provided by traditional news media,” Sava said.
He said that his father would send videos of bombardment and bodies “as in war movies,” but he couldn’t use them because they were too graphic. In a recent appearance on a YouTube talk show hosted by popular former vaccine minister Taro Kono, Sava said the brothers were in regular communication with their father from an undisclosed location.
Japan was quick to join other industrialized nations in imposing sanctions against Russia and providing support for Ukraine.
Tokyo has also sent bulletproof vests, helmets, tents, medical supplies and other nonlethal defense equipment to Ukraine as an exception to Japan’s ban on military equipment transfer to countries in conflict.
Japan has taken tougher measures against Russia, worried about the impact of Moscow’s war on East Asia where Tokyo has faced threats from North Korea and China. In response to sanctions, Russia suspended peace treaty talks with Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands, which Moscow has held since 1945.
Sava Tkachov, who arrived with his family in Japan when he was 4 and studied at a top Japanese university, thanked his adopted country for its support but says Tokyo should stick to its pacifist role.
“Japan is the world’s top-class peaceful nation … and what the country is doing right now is very appropriate,” he said. “As to the question of whether Japan should send weapons, I do not think it’s the kind of role Japan should be playing.”
Instead, he said, Japan can better contribute by continuing to appeal for peace and take a leadership role within Asia.
He also said Japan can provide home to many war-displaced Ukrainians. Some may face challenges of language or unfamiliar food, “but I’m sure they can overcome the difficulties with the empathy of the Japanese people and the spirits of the Ukrainians.” | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/entertainment-news/ukrainian-youtube-brothers-reach-out-to-japanese-to-end-war/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:38Z |

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Anna Davis was little more than a silhouette from right of the ninth green as darkness fell quickly at the end of a long day at the Augusta National Women's Amateur. The only light came from a video board and headlights from carts making their way in.
Not the least bit rattled, the 16-year-old from San Diego pitched with perfect pace to 2 feet to save par and post a 4-over 76 at Champions Retreat, one of only nine players to finish the second round.
What started as lingering thunderstorms turned into a heavy rain that delayed the start of the second round for for seven-and-a-half hours. That led to what should be a longer day, but far more fun on Friday.
Fifty-one players will finish the second round in the morning — some with only one hole to play, others with nine holes — before heading over to Augusta National for a practice round.
It starts with an elite competition. It ends for so many of them with a dream come true.
Of the nine players who finished, Davis was at 2-over 146 and in a tie for eighth, virtually assured of being among the 30 players from a field of 60 who advance to the final round at the home of the Masters.
No one was under par.
Beatrice Wallin of Sweden was 1 under for the round through 16 holes and even par for the tournament, tied with Amari Avery, who also was 1 under for the day through 16.
Joining them at even par was Hailey Borjas, the Californian who plays at Michigan. Her day ended on a sour note with consecutive bogeys. Even so, she was excited for Friday.
She was at Augusta National earlier in the week, driving down Magnolia Lane and having a group dinner hosted by the club chairman.
“Seeing Augusta for the first time, it was like a dream come true,” Borjas said.
She was more excited about her first chance to play it than her position in the Augusta National Women's Amateur, in its third year but already considered elite among amateur events because of where it's at.
“I don't really like to think about golf when I'm playing golf, if that makes any sense," Borjas said. “I like to talk about other things, like shoes. So to think about Augusta National tomorrow will keep me going.”
U.S. Women's Amateur champion Jensen Castle had the best round going at 2 under through 16 holes, leaving her one shot out of the lead.
The course was just as difficult as the opening round, when strong wind allowed only five players to break par. The wind subsided after the rain, though it left the course soggy and longer, even as the greens were slightly more receptive.
Rose Zhang, the No. 1 amateur in the world, made progress by not really going anywhere. She put together one bogey and 13 pars and improved from a tie for 39th to a tie for 26th.
Rachel Heck of Stanford, the No. 3 player in women's amateur golf who won six times in one semester last year as a freshman, was going the other direction. Heck had a pair of double bogeys in her opening four holes and was 5 over through 10 holes, leaving her outside the projected cut line at 6 over.
The cut is a hard 30. Any ties lead to a sudden-death playoff to see who advances, although everyone gets to play a practice round at Augusta National on Friday.

When new Bears general manager Ryan Poles met the media for the first time back in January, he talked about the importance of building around hopeful franchise quarterback Justin Fields.
It was music to Bears fans’ ears — what a novel concept to build around the most important player on the roster.
Now that we’re a couple of months into the new regime, it’s hard to look at this current roster and believe that it’s in better shape than how we left it at the end of the 2021 season.
While we’re just starting April, it’s hard to feel confident about how Poles has approached building around Fields. Sure, Poles noted that surrounding Fields with great coaches and a scheme that caters to his strengths will do wonders for him in Year 2. But what good will that do if he doesn’t have the protection up front or the weapons to throw to?
Poles took a rather conservative approach in free agency in regards to adding pieces around Fields. The Bears signed wide receivers Byron Pringle and Equanimeous St. Brown — both depth pieces with their former respective teams — and added Lucas Patrick and Dakota Dozier on the offensive line. Poles also missed out on Ryan Bates, whose offer sheet was matched by the Bills.
Again, it’s important to note that we’re only entering April, and there’s a lot of offseason yet to go and there will be plenty of new faces on the roster. Chicago will likely use some of their six draft selections to add to Fields’ supporting cast.
But where things currently stand, it’s fair to worry if Fields is being put in a position to succeed in 2022.
With the Bears’ offseason in full swing, host Ryan O’Leary (@RyanO_Leary) and myself (@AlyssaBarbieri) are discussing whether Fields is being set up for failure in Year 2 and previewing the upcoming NFL draft.

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."

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams had relief on their faces as they headed straight from the stadium for a charter jet to Europe and weekend club games.
“This is whatever I’ve always wanted to be, and right now emotions are a bit crazy,” Pulisic said, his voice quavering.
Coach Gregg Berhalter had rushed out for a red-eye to New York and a 12½-hour connecting flight to Friday’s World Cup draw (9 a.m. PT, FS1) in Doha, Qatar.
Recovering from the past and preparing for the future intertwined as the United States clinched a return to the World Cup.
For Pulisic, DeAndre Yedlin, Kellyn Acosta and Paul Arriola, all on that doomed American team at Trinidad 4½ years earlier, the pain had not gone away until now. The 2-0 loss to Costa Rica on Wednesday night was deflating, but by the time players entered the locker room of Estadio Nacional, focus turned to the accomplishment of clinching a return to soccer’s showcase for the first time since 2014.
Erik Palmer-Brown started popping open the Duet Mousseux Brut even as Berhalter was giving his speech. Then the new JBL Boombox 2 got to blare.
“We’re the youngest team to ever qualify for the World Cup, youngest U.S. team, and we’ll be the youngest team at the World Cup,” Berhalter said. ”That’s an accomplishment for these guys. It really is.”
They had traveled 25,042 miles on charters – circling the globe adds up to only 24,901 – making four trips to Central America, plus one each to Mexico, Canada and Jamaica, plus up to five trans-Atlantic round trips. Forty-four players were called in, of which 38 took the field. In all, 114 players have been used since Trinidad, 88 since Berhalter was hired in December 2018.
Pulisic had buried his face in his hands at Couva, wiping away tears.
“That was one of the toughest days of my life. I’ll never forget it,” he recalled. “Now to be in this position – qualified for a World Cup, we’re all extremely proud.”
Berhalter admitted the pressure was omnipresent.
“The public was on edge. They desperately wanted us to make it,” he said.
All of 23, Pulisic, Adams and Weston McKennie are the team leaders. Right back Sergiño Dest and left back Antonee Robinson became offensive threats. Gio Reyna, at 19, emerged as a budding star, just like his dad three decades earlier.
“Now we have to test ourselves against the best players in the world, the best teams in the world,” Adams said. “This was only the first stage in our development.”
Berhalter is among a 12-person U.S. Soccer Federation attending the draw, mapping out Qatar plans for a tournament that opens Nov. 21, in the middle of European club seasons.
Four games are likely in June, two in the CONCACAF Nations League and two exhibitions, followed by a pair of friendlies in September, possibly in Europe. Major League Soccer players may have a domestic training camp before the tournament.
And if the U.S. winds up in Groups E through G, which don’t start play until Nov. 24-25, the Americans might train in Europe for several days and have one more exhibition before heading to the Middle East.
“The starting point is getting out of the group,” Berhalter said.
USSF staff locked down hotel and training arrangements on Oct. 1, 2019, the day the portal opened, putting the team in an optimum logistical situation.
Berhalter presumes form will change between now and November, causing roster churn. He was impressed with the growth over 14 qualifiers in temperatures that ranged from minus-3 degrees in St. Paul, Minnesota, and 85 degrees in Austin, Texas.
“I think we improved our pressing,” he said. “But we’re going to continue to evolve and to continue to improve. The 4-3-3 system, as it’s been good for us, we might work with some other systems just to have some flexibility in the World Cup. I think it’s important to see who we are playing and start planning out how we can be successful there.”
For all the positive feelings, the U.S. dropped to third among eight nations in CONCACAF, behind Canada and Mexico. If not for last week’s 0-0 draw at Mexico, the Americans would have finished fourth and wound up in a June playoff against New Zealand.
“The easy part is over, and now we focus on this draw,” said defender Walker Zimmerman, who rose like a rocket from initially off the roster in October to starting nine of the past 11 games. “Ultimately just focus on staying fit, staying healthy, performing for our clubs.”
Forward remains a concern. After scoring three goals over two games last fall, Ricardo Pepi has gone scoreless in 19 games for club and country. Strikers produced just four of the Americans’ 21 goals, with Jesús Ferreira getting the other.
“We’re hoping that one of our 9s gets into a good form by the time the World Cup comes around,” Berhalter said Thursday during a layover at JFK International Airport.
Midfielders and wingers have been the engine, with Pulisic scoring five of the team’s 21 goals, and McKennie, Brenden Aaronson and Robinson two each.
“We can do a lot of damage, man,” Pulisic said. “We’re a confident bunch of guys and I think that country will get behind us and we’re going to give everything we got.”
“I just like the fight of his team and I think we have a lot of quality, as well,” he added. “I think we can be a force going into the World Cup.”
FIFA SETS DRAW SEEDINGS
The U.S. team received a boost for the World Cup draw and Canada took a hit in Thursday’s updated FIFA rankings.
The Americans, who failed to qualify for the last World Cup, will be in Pot 2 after being ranked 15th in the world.
Canada, which won the CONCACAF group and will play at the tournament for the first time in 36 years, missed a chance for a rankings boost by losing at Panama, 1-0, in its final qualifier.
Instead, Canada will be among the lowest-seeded teams in Pot 4.
The eight groups for the tournament in Qatar will be drawn Friday from four pots.
Qatar gets the top-seeded slot given to the World Cup host nation despite being ranked No. 51.
The other top-seeded teams are Brazil, Belgium, defending champion France, Argentina, England, Spain and Portugal.
Brazil took over as the No. 1 team from Belgium, the first change at the top in three years. Sixth-ranked Italy is the only team from the top 10 that failed to qualify.
Besides the United States, Pot 2 includes Mexico, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Uruguay, Switzerland and Croatia, while in Pot 3 it’s Senegal, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Serbia, Poland, South Korea and Tunisia.
Three of the 32 entries are still unknown because qualifying hasn’t been completed. Those three entries have all been placed in Pot 4 regardless of the rankings of the teams involved. No. 18 Wales is the highest-ranked of the eight teams left in the playoffs.
The rest of Pot 4 includes Cameroon Ecuador, Saudi Arabia and Ghana along with Canada.
Teams from the same continent will be placed in different groups, except for some Europeans.
Europe has 13 teams in the tournament and five of the eight groups will each get two teams from the continent. The other three groups each get one European team.
Qatar will kick off its home World Cup in the opening game of Group A on Nov. 21. The final is scheduled for Dec. 18 – the host’s National Day. | https://www.ocregister.com/2022/03/31/relieved-more-than-joyful-usmnt-turns-attention-to-world-cup-draw-preparation/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:41Z |
Lucille Shakman is a young woman with an outlook on life that totally belies her age. Currently a sophomore at Ukiah High School, she describes herself as “truly passionate about every aspect of the art world,” and it is clear that that passion extends into other aspects of her life as well.
Where many students her age look at the world from the perspective of what they can get from it, Lucille is inclined to look outward with a totally open soul, and she eagerly embraces the lessons she can learn from “taking a closer look at everyday realities.” There is a combined sense of curiosity and fearlessness about her attitude, and it is naturally reflected in her art.
Lucille has already gone through a process of learning and growing in her art. She was raised mostly in Ukiah, and before the COVID pandemic she enjoyed advanced classes in digital media while she was in middle school. Then, she states, “I started really enjoying photography when COVID first hit. I was experiencing issues with my mental health and art brought me into a world that I could escape into.” Fortunately, Lucille affirms that “Right now I’m enjoying life, and bringing whatever I can to the world.”
Describing how she is compelled to do art, Lucille says “My process is usually just an inclination to express a feeling, or deeper meaning. I also feel I have to be in a completely different head space… one which is merely a closer look at everyday realities.” She continues, “I’m influenced by life experiences… music, fear, utter joy. Even garbage inspires me, and furthermore I can be sucked in by meaningless beauty.
“I want people to know what’s possible in the field of creativity and the intersections that art can have. I’m trying to say that there’s no particular look that I’m trying to get across.”
Lucille’s message to other young artists is “All meaning someone brings to a piece is very interesting so don’t feel restrained. It all depends on the person’s own subconscious.” That’s an insight that many older artists could benefit from as well.
When asked about next steps for the future, Lucille was clear: “I plan on continuing in an art career of any sort. I’m truly passionate about every aspect of the art world. I’m planning on going to college for it.”
Lucille ended the interview with a short poem of her own that possibly says it all:
“Golden knifes from the star’s light pierce my eyes. Glowing with eternal light I sit stationary and calm. When.” | https://www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/2022/03/31/lucille-shakman-ukiah-corner-gallerys-young-artist-for-april-may/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:41Z |
On Monday, President Joe Biden unveiled his proposal for the next federal budget.
Though Congress has the final say in the annual budget, presidents create a proposal highlighting their fiscal priorities. Then, the president typically spends time advocating for their plan to the public, arguing for those priorities.
While promoting his latest proposal, Biden tweeted, “This year, my administration is on track to cut the deficit by more than $1.3 trillion… that would be the largest one-year reduction in the deficit in U.S. history.”
THE QUESTION
Would a $1.3 trillion reduction in the deficit be the largest single-year reduction ever?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, if the deficit shrinks by $1.3 trillion this year, that will be the largest single-year reduction in history.
WHAT WE FOUND
Both the Federal Reserve and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) track how much money the federal government takes in each year, and how much it spends. The Fed has records dating back to 1901, and the CBO dating to 1962.
If the government makes more than it spends, there’s a budget surplus. Since 1962, there have only been five years with a surplus, and none since 2001.
More commonly, the government spends more than it takes in. That’s a deficit, and it results in the U.S. borrowing money to make up the difference, which in turn adds to the federal debt.
According to the Fed and the CBO, the year in which the deficit shrank the most was 2013. In 2012, the budget was nearly $1.08 trillion in the hole, and in 2013, it was just under $679.8 billion. The deficit decreased by roughly $396.8 billion, more than in any other year in history.
If the deficit drops by $1.3 trillion in 2022 like Biden projected, it would indeed be the largest deficit reduction in American history, by a big margin.
The Fed and CBO track numbers on a fiscal-year basis, with the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30. So we won’t really know if Biden’s projections for 2022 are accurate until at least October.
But budget experts VERIFY spoke with agreed it’s likely the deficit reduction could wind up being more than a trillion dollars. However, they said that drop is mostly due to COVID-related spending programs expiring.
“It's not really due to any particularly aggressive policy action to, say, raise more revenue than we would have otherwise, or spend less. It's mostly just a factor of temporary things,” said Alex Muresianu, a federal policy analyst for the Tax Foundation.
“We had deficits that were over $3 trillion [in 2020], and one that was $2.8 trillion [in 2021]. That was as a result of a huge recession, and trillions of dollars that we were spending to fight COVID. So we will be dropping for sure. The deficit will be closer to a trillion dollars this year,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a non-profit group. “But that doesn't come from policies to reduce the deficit.”

Mark Anthony A few days ago he made his goodbye to his singleness official, after publishing a photograph with his new love, the Paraguayan model Nadia Ferrera with whom he would be completely excited and even publicly thanked the good wishes towards their relationship.
In the same way, it came to light that 6 years ago, the same girl would have met the singer as a fan looking for a photograph with her idol, without imagining that some time later she would end up being the girlfriend of the famous Puerto Rican.
Now, many know that the interpreter of “Live my life”, “Your love does me good” among other successes, he owns countless luxury and sports cars, enjoying different automotive brands seven days a week, where he could happily travel with his new love.
However, the beauty queen reveals in her incredible instagram photos that she is also passionate about luxury cars and sports carsenjoying the comfort provided by the latest technology behind the wheel to squander all its elegance in a two-by-three.

YouTube reports that if testing is successful on these initial devices, this feature will appear on game consoles as well. “We know that 5.1 sound is important to many of you, so we wanted to share the update,” the YouTube TV tweet begins.
“We are currently testing 5.1 sound on Google TV, Android TV and Roku. If everything goes smoothly, we can expect 5.1 sound to be launched on these devices next time.”
“We are still working internally with partners to enable 5.1 on Apple TV, Fire TV and game consoles,” the tweet continues. “We don’t like to keep you waiting, but we’re glad you’ll be hearing 5.1 sound soon.”
YouTube TV currently supports 5.1 surround sound on some Samsung, LG and Vizio TVs. It also works on traditional Chromecast devices and a speaker system that supports 5.1 sound. YouTube TV has been slow to fulfill its promise to provide its users with surround sound in the past year.
Meanwhile, for iPhone and iPad users, YouTube TV is finally launching picture-in-picture mode. “We are pleased to announce that the picture-in-picture feature is now being extended to iOS 15+ devices. Simply select the video to watch and swipe up from the bottom of the screen to return to the device’s home page. The video can shrink and move around the screen,” the tweet says.
Google is testing PiP content for YouTube Premium subscribers. But this feature may become standard for YouTube. YouTube has also recently expanded the list of films and TV shows supported by advertising, although it does not advertise this fact.
“YouTube is personalized for users, so instead of seeing the entire library at once in the links, users see a personalized selection for them,” a YouTube representative confirmed. “As soon as users start watching or when new titles appear or disappear, the composition of the selection on the shelves will change.” | https://www.somagnews.com/testing-youtube-tv-5-1-audio-on-multiple-devices-latest-news/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:41Z |

While promoting his latest proposal, Biden tweeted, “This year, my administration is on track to cut the deficit by more than $1.3 trillion… that would be the largest one-year reduction in the deficit in U.S. history.”
THE QUESTION
Would a $1.3 trillion reduction in the deficit be the largest single-year reduction ever?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, if the deficit shrinks by $1.3 trillion this year, that will be the largest single-year reduction in history.
WHAT WE FOUND
Both the Federal Reserve and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) track how much money the federal government takes in each year, and how much it spends. The Fed has records dating back to 1901, and the CBO dating to 1962.
If the government makes more than it spends, there’s a budget surplus. Since 1962, there have only been five years with a surplus, and none since 2001.
More commonly, the government spends more than it takes in. That’s a deficit, and it results in the U.S. borrowing money to make up the difference, which in turn adds to the federal debt.
According to the Fed and the CBO, the year in which the deficit shrank the most was 2013. In 2012, the budget was nearly $1.08 trillion in the hole, and in 2013, it was just under $679.8 billion. The deficit decreased by roughly $396.8 billion, more than in any other year in history.
If the deficit drops by $1.3 trillion in 2022 like Biden projected, it would indeed be the largest deficit reduction in American history, by a big margin.
The Fed and CBO track numbers on a fiscal-year basis, with the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30. So we won’t really know if Biden’s projections for 2022 are accurate until at least October.
But budget experts VERIFY spoke with agreed it’s likely the deficit reduction could wind up being more than a trillion dollars. However, they said that drop is mostly due to COVID-related spending programs expiring.
“It's not really due to any particularly aggressive policy action to, say, raise more revenue than we would have otherwise, or spend less. It's mostly just a factor of temporary things,” said Alex Muresianu, a federal policy analyst for the Tax Foundation.
“We had deficits that were over $3 trillion [in 2020], and one that was $2.8 trillion [in 2021]. That was as a result of a huge recession, and trillions of dollars that we were spending to fight COVID. So we will be dropping for sure. The deficit will be closer to a trillion dollars this year,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a non-profit group. “But that doesn't come from policies to reduce the deficit.”

Due to the ongoing Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) strike over the last six months, an ambulance is seen ferrying over 20-25 students from Dahanu’s tribal hamlets to their schools in order to make sure that the students appear for their board exam on time. The ambulance service was initiated by a Mumbai-based non-profit organisation for these tribal students. This issue came into light after the NGO posted a photo on social media. Niranjan Aher, President of Alert Citizen Forum said after the social media post these students have got vehicles through which they are going to school until exams.
“We have to walk the 10 km stretch to reach the school as transportation facilities of ST buses have been reduced and spending Rs 40 for one way on private vehicles is not affordable for the kids. When the NGO saw these struggles of the children, they arranged a better and free-of-cost means of transportation through the ambulance,” said a student.
Aher said Earlier these students used to travel by state transport (ST) buses, but due to the students they were facing problems in reaching school for giving exams. These children or students have been facing problems for the last one and half years due to which they had to think of alternate transport facilities. Following which they decided to ferry the students studying in ninth and tenth standards.
“Our NGO has been working in these villages for a few months and we have provided ambulance services for the students which will be an easier way to reach exam centres during the MSRTC strike. On a daily basis we are ferrying around 20-25 students. So far, we are lucky that during the commutation time of the students there has been no medical emergency in the village. But in case any medical emergency arrives, we have kept an alternative vehicle, a tempo as a backup option ready,” he said.
Meanwhile, all girls in rural areas will be provided transport facilities from village to school, under the Human Development Program. Between 2011 to 2013, around 625 buses have been provided to 125 talukas in order to implement this scheme of providing transport services to the students on a regular basis.
Later on, 247 additional buses were procured in phases and at present 872 buses are operated by the corporation under this scheme. In the first phase, out of 625 buses, which were received by the corporation in phases from 2011 to 2013 and constructed in aluminum metal, 300 vehicles with 'body' defective condition will be reconstructed and rehabilitated in the first phase.
The rehabilitation of buses will be done at the cost of Rs. 39 crore by the state government and it will help in making the ST journey easier and safer for the citizens especially the students in the rural areas.

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

Report: Manu Ginobili, Tim Hardaway, Swin Cash among 5 to HOF
San Antonio Spurs icon Manu Ginobili will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in his first year on the ballot, The Athletic reported Thursday.
Ginobili will be joined in the Class of 2022 by five-time NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway, two-time WNBA MVP Swin Cash, longtime NBA coach George Karl and collegiate coach Bob Huggins. The class will be enshrined Sept. 9-10 in Springfield, Mass.
Ginobili won four NBA titles with San Antonio and led Argentina to the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
In 16 NBA seasons, all with the Spurs, the shooting guard averaged 13.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 44.7 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from 3.
Hardaway played 13 seasons for the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers, averaging 17.7 points and 8.2 assists for his career. He was a college star at UTEP and a member of the 2000 gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic team.
Cash played 15 seasons in the WNBA for the Detroit Shock, Seattle Storm, Chicago Sky, Atlanta Dream and New York Liberty, winning three WNBA championships. A forward, she averaged 10.7 points and 5.3 rebounds for her career and was a four-time All-Star selection.
Karl ranks sixth in NBA history in victories (1,175), guided the Seattle SuperSonics to the 1996 NBA Finals and posted 12 seasons of 50 or more victories.
Huggins, currently the coach at West Virginia, has guided teams to 25 NCAA Tournament appearances, including Final Four berths in 1992 (Cincinnati) and 2010 (West Virginia). He has a lifetime 844-374 record over 37 seasons at Akron, Cincinnati, Kansas State and West Virginia.
The inductees will be formally announced Saturday at the Final Four in New Orleans. Finalists needed to receive 18 of a possible 24 votes from the Honors Committee for selection to the Hall of Fame.
Other finalists who reportedly will not make the cut this year were NBA players Marques Johnson and Michael Cooper, NBA referee Hugh Evans, WNBA player Lindsay Whalen, former college and current WNBA coach Marianne Stanley and former girls high school coach Leta Andrews.

When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock over an Oscars ceremony punchline, other comedians felt the sting.
“I know Chris and I know what it’s like to be on a stage in front of an audience that doesn’t like your material,” said stand-up comedian Judy Gold. “But to be physically assaulted, that’s a whole other thing. It felt like every comedian was smacked across the face. It really felt like that.”
Smith’s act comes during a stressful time for comedy. While boundaries for humor constantly shift — think George Carlin’s 1972 monologue on seven so-called “dirty words” banned by TV — comics say they have felt increased pushback from audiences and society. Comedy great Dave Chappelle drew sharpcriticism last year for what some deemed anti-transgender humor in his Netflix special “The Closer.” Kathy Griffin’s careerwas derailed in 2017 when she was photographed holding a mock-up of former President Donald Trump’s head.
Some comedians expressed concern that Smith’s behavior might embolden other displeased audience members.
“No one went up to Chris Rock and said, ‘Are you OK?’” Sheryl Underwood, co-host of “The Talk,” said on the show Tuesday. “I’m going to say this as a comic, I am afraid now to get on a stage, because in my third show, when everyone’s been drinking, if you don’t like my joke, do you now believe that you can get up and slap me? There’s got to be accountability quicker.”
Griffin tweeted that “now we all have to worry about who wants to be the next Will Smith in comedy clubs and theaters.”
“Which is the worst crime here?” veteran comedian Gilbert Gottfried said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Chris Rock being physically assaulted? Or Chris Rock making a joke? That’s it, pure and simple. He made a joke.”
Dean Obeidallah, a lawyer and stand-up comic who hosts a show on the SiriusXM Progress channel, said there is never “a place for a violent response to a joke” but doubted there would be copycat behavior. In his time in comedy clubs, he’s seen yelling, screaming and, once, a glass thrown at somebody. But he’s never seen a punch thrown, nor a comedian slapped.
“If someone were to strike a comedian, they’re going to be prosecuted criminally. They don’t have the privilege that Will Smith has,” Obeidallah said.
The Los Angeles Police Department said Sunday that it was aware of the incident, but Rock had declined to file a police report. Smith stayed through the rest of the ceremony Sunday and received the best-actor Oscar.
Gold said she’s been confronted but never struck, and she knows other female comedians have faced difficult circumstances. “People have been getting on stage, people have thrown things,” she said.
Comedian-actor Yamaneika Saunders calls Smith’s behavior upsetting and Sunday a sad day for ”two beloved Black men in entertainment.” She also views what happened through the lens of a “Black woman in comedy.”
“I’m constantly being threatened….by some man who doesn’t like some (expletive) I said about being a woman, some white guy who doesn’t like some (expletive) I said about being Black,” she said.
Insult humor isn’t new to high-profile ceremonies, which call on comics to liven up what can be tedious events. Ricky Gervais made a meal of celebrities at successive Golden Globe ceremonies, and they grin — or grimace — and bear it. The most famous bad sport: Trump at the 2011 White House correspondents’ dinner, where he sat stone-faced during then-President Barack Obama’s extended ribbing of him.
Rock wasn’t the first to tweak Smith or wife Jada Pinkett Smith at Sunday’s Oscars. Ceremony co-host Regina Hall made what appeared to be a veiled joke about their marriage in trying, unsuccessfully, to draw Smith into a comedy bit.
Rock’s wisecrack was targeted at Pinkett Smith. “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it,” the comedian said to Pinkett Smith, whose close-shaven head looked similar to Demi Moore’s in the 1997 movie. Whether Rock was aware that she has a hair-loss condition, alopecia, is unknown, but Smith reacted with the smack and an angry warning to “keep my wife’s name out your (expletive) mouth!”
A tearful Smith later accepted the top acting award for “King Richard,” his somewhat remorseful speech eliciting a standing ovation from the Dolby Theatre crowd. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has since condemned Smith’s attack and said it’s reviewing the matter.
Whatever the result, his actions indelibly marred the ceremony and ignited discussions about violence, toxic masculinity and the advantages of fame. Smith, who’d conspicuously left Rock out of his remarks Sunday, apologized to the comic and decried “violence in all of its forms” in a statement the next day issued by his publicist and posted on Instagram.
Pinkett Smith’s first public comment came in an Instagram post in which she said, “This is a season for healing and I’m here for it.”Rock referred briefly to the slap at a comedy show Wednesday in Boston, saying he was “still kind of processing what happened.” He appeared to become emotional as the audience gave him several standing ovations.
Whatever pushback comedians may encounter on stage, verbal or physical, they have to guard against censoring themselves to avoid it — and they will, said Obeidallah: “They shouldn’t change, and there’s nothing about this that tells me that they will change.”
They can’t because their role goes beyond providing laughs, as comedians see it.
“We are the truth tellers. We speak truth to power,” said Gold, author of the 2020 book, “Yes, I Can Say That: When They Come for the Comedians, We Are All in Trouble.”
Gottfried cites a favorite Carlin quote — “It’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately” — and can’t resist serving up a punchline.
“If Will Smith is reading this, dear God, please don’t come to my shows,” he said.

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.

ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals parted ways with manager Mike Shildt in October, but it's clear the decision is still weighing on the team's former skipper.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale sat down with Shildt at Padres spring training camp in Arizona to talk about the firing. Shildt is currently San Diego's interim third base coach and player development consultant.
In Nightengale's article, Shildt said he has a "broken heart" and that the firing "still hurts bad".
You can read Nightengale's entire article by clicking here.
5 On Your Side sports director Frank Cusumano talked with Nightengale over Zoom on Thursday. The reporter said it was easy to see just how broken up Shildt still was about the firing.
"You could see the hurt in his face. It was genuine. He wasn't breaking down in tears when I talked to him, but you know, five months later it still has got a hold of him," Nightengale said.
Shildt had been in the Cardinals' organization for nearly two decades before being fired. He had led the Major League club to three straight playoff appearances and had actually thought Cardinals president John Mozeliak and owner Bill DeWitt Jr. were calling him to talk about a new contract.
Instead, he was let go with Mozeliak citing "philosophical differences".
"I think if he (Shildt) was a manager coming from outside the organization he wouldn't feel as passionate or convicted of everything. I think that in all phases of the organization, he wanted to go to that next level, and I think when he saw little things happening, it bugged him, and he spoke out internally. And I think that rubbed some people the wrong way. I think this thing had been building, we assume, nobody knew about it," Nightengale said.
Nightengale said both Shildt and his wife, Michelle, could not believe he had been fired.
"It stunned him. For him to tell his wife, and his wife not to believe him... He said that went on for several minutes. She was stunned and he was absolutely floored," Nightengale said.
Nightengale also talked to former Cardinals manager and current Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa about the situation. La Russa was quick to defend Shildt when he had heard from someone in the Cardinals organization that Shildt was fired because of a "toxic environment".
"He (La Russa) loves Mike Shildt and wants to make sure Shildty gets another job. And he doesn't want people to read from the outside and say, 'Wait a minute, was there some kind of problem there? Was he the root of anything?' So Tony wanted to clear that up real quickly," Nightengale said.
So, what does Nightengale think Shildt possibly could have done to get on the outs with the Cardinals?
"Maybe if he had just stayed in his own lane, focused on managing the Cardinals and didn't offer any input on different aspects of the organization. In the minor leagues and things like that," Nightengale said about why Shildt may have been let go. | https://www.ksdk.com/article/sports/mlb/stl-cardinals/bob-nightengale-mike-shildt-st-louis-cardinals-firing-john-mozeliak/63-27f49b9f-5986-44b9-9434-779a7a867a97 | 2022-04-01T01:39:47Z |
An active Ethereum (ETH) whale wallet called “Gimli” has increased its investments by purchasing 150 billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens. In this article we will talk about buying SHIB and other altcoins in the Gimli wallet. Here are the details…
Added a large amount of SHIB to the Gimli wallet
According to an update from WhaleStats, a ten-channel analytics platform that lists whale transactions, the whale has received a total of 421,370,420,624 SHIBS worth $11.3 million in two transactions in the last 24 hours. Whale bought 271 billion SHIB worth $7.3 million in the first transaction and 150 billion SHIB worth $4 million in the second transaction. According to online data, the transaction fee for both of these large transfers was only $10.
According to Somagnews, it is known that Gimli has made several large purchases of SHIB over the past year. Currently, the wallet holds $81 billion worth of tokens, including the largest assets of SHIB and Decentraland (MANA). As we reported earlier this month, the largest shiba inu whale reportedly has 3.9 trillion tokens in meme-based cryptocurrency alone. The image of Keith’s wallet showed that at the time of writing these tokens were worth $ 101 million.
What else does Keith have in his wallet?
Viewing a cryptocurrency whale wallet via WhaleStats, Swift DAO (SWIFT), Decentraland (MANA), Shiba Inu (SHIB), The Sandbox (SAND), BombCrypto (BOMB3R), Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), Sushi (SUSHI)) There are many coins, such as Basic Attention Token (BAT), Chiliz (CHZ), Enjin Coin (ENJ), The Graph (GRT), Orchid (OXT), ApeCoin (APE), Skale (SKL). This is in order from the largest number of tokens in US dollars to the smallest.
Individuals or institutions that own a large number of coins of a certain cryptocurrency are known in the crypto world as whales. Since they hold a large number of coins, they become powerful enough to manipulate the valuation of a particular cryptocurrency. The movement of whales can have a huge impact on the price of a cryptocurrency, depending on the size, size, source and destination of the transaction. | https://www.somagnews.com/the-basket-of-the-crazy-whale-shib-has-been-discovered-it-has-these-coins-in-it/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:48Z |

The concept of street furniture for those using public transport in Mumbai is quite skewed, with only the narrow benches on BEST bus stops are available. For the first time, steel benches have been installed at the entry/exit points of Metro 7 and Metro-2A for passengers who will be waiting for auto rickshaws and BEST buses as part of last mile connectivity. Usually waiting for road transport is a task.
This comes at a time when the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is working out ways to integrate different modes of transportation and provide last mile connectivity to people. The MMRDA has installed two to three steel benches on the footpath at the entry/exit points of Metro railway stations on the 20-kms long Dhanukarwadi to Aarey stretch that is part of both Metro-2A (Dahisar-DN Nagar) and Metro-7 (Dahisar (E)-Andheri (E)) which will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on April 2.
According to MMRDA officials, these benches are namely installed for passengers who alight at metro stations and are waiting for auto rickshaws and BEST buses. A single bench has space for three people to sit comfortably at a time. “These benches will certainly benefit senior citizens, women and children who need not stand. We have installed this street furniture outside Metro stations wherever possible,” said a MMRDA official on condition of anonymity.
Sources said that they have also redone the footpaths and replaced the paver blocks wherever necessary at the entry/exit points and escalators outside metro stations. The MMRDA and BEST Undertaking are already tying up for last mile connectivity. A new plan and design has been given to the BEST, wherein several bus stops have been shifted to a suitable distance of not more than 50-75 metres from the respective metro station.
Once commuters exit the metro station they can take a bus thus leading to inter-modal integration of public transit. The auto rickshaw stands are also being planned in such a way that people can queue up and board right outside metro stations. Right the BEST bus stops are the once where seating provision exists.

Don't throw Russia out of G20, aid group says, with eye on food crisis
By Andrea Shalal
WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - Excluding Russia from the Group of 20 major economies and other international institutions could slow efforts to address a worsening global food crisis exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, the head of German aid group Welthungerhilfe (WHH) told Reuters.
Mathias Mogge, chief executive of the group, which serves 14.3 million people with projects in 35 countries, said it was critical to maintain communication with Russia, one of the world's largest producers of wheat, in tackling the crisis.
"Of course, Russia is the aggressor here, and there needs to be sanctions and everything. But in a humanitarian situation as we have it today, there must be open lines of communication." Mogge said in an interview this week.
Mogge's comments come days after U.S. President Joe Biden said he thinks Russia should be removed from the G20, although experts say that is unlikely to happen given lack of support from India, China and several other G20 members.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February is driving food prices sharply higher across the world and triggering shortages of staple crops in parts of central Asia, the Middle East and north Africa, according to United Nations officials.
The war, which Russia calls a "special military operation," has slashed shipments from the two countries, which together account for 25% of world wheat exports and 16% of corn exports, driving prices sharply higher on international markets.
Mogge said he expected Group of Seven leaders to address the issue during their upcoming meetings.
Russia was still part of what was then the Group of Eight during the last food crisis of 2007 and 2008, and played a constructive role in reducing hunger worldwide, Mogge said.

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.

NEW YORK (AP) — Marjorie Miller, vice president and global enterprise editor at The Associated Press, has been named as the new administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes.
Miller spent 27 years at the Los Angeles Times as a correspondent in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. She was the newspaper’s foreign editor when it won a Pulitzer Prize for Russia coverage and was a finalist for Iraq War coverage.
She joined AP in 2010 as the regional editor for Latin America, where her team produced award-winning coverage of cartel violence. In 2015, she moved to New York to help lead daily news coverage and enterprise. Two years later she became the founding leader of AP’s Global Enterprise Team, overseeing reporting projects in all formats, including work from Yemen that won the 2019 Pulitzer for International Reporting.
Her appointment was announced Thursday by the Pulitzer Prize Board and by Lee C. Bollinger, president of Columbia University, which hosts the prestigious journalism awards.
“I cannot think of a better steward for the Pulitzer Prizes, which celebrate excellence in journalism, arts, and letters and recognize the powerful, public service role they play in promoting tolerance, advancing the search for truth, and protecting the free exchange of information and ideas,” Bollinger said.
Miller succeeds acting administrator Edward Kliment, who will stay on as Miller’s deputy. She begins her new role on April 11. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/health-2/ap-health/aps-marjorie-miller-named-as-new-head-of-pulitzer-prizes/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:52Z |
JUPITER, Fla. — Yinie Kasuya was sitting in her car outside the Full Count baseball training facility in suburban Atlanta when she was surprised by a knock on her window.
“I need your help,” Ariel Polanco, one of the hitting instructors, told Kasuya when she rolled down the window.
Kasuya’s oldest son, Jin, a freshman in high school, had trained with Polanco for years and he knew she spoke fluent Korean. Polanco needed somebody to translate what he was trying to teach a young Korean who had started training at the facility a few weeks earlier.
“Usually I don’t go in, I just wait in the car,” Kasuya said. “But he was trying to explain some techniques, and he asked me to translate.”
The player was Won-bin Cho, who had moved from South Korea to the U.S. in hopes of signing a contract with a major-league organization.
Starting on that day last October, Kasuya became just one of the many people who played a key role in Cho’s journey from South Korea to where he is now, in Jupiter, Fla., taking the first steps in his professional career, one he hopes will find him playing for the Cardinals in a few years.
“It takes a lot of people to put something like this together,” said the Cardinals’ Matt Slater, a special assistant to the general manager for player procurement. “Maybe that’s why we had never done it before, signing an amateur player from Asia. Now we’ve broken that ceiling.”
Here is the story of the agent, the host family, the scouts and, most importantly, the player, who all were involved in making Cho’s journey possible.
The agent
Han Lee knew that because of travel restrictions in South Korea during the pandemic, the only way that Cho would be able to attract interest from scouts was if he was able to move to the United States.
“Our employee in Korea tracked him down and said if he wanted to do it, we could help,” Lee said. “I got introduced to him in August. Everything kind of came together pretty quickly. The main reason behind bringing him over here was so he could get exposure.”
Lee was quickly impressed by Cho’s commitment in agreeing to leave his family and home, pulling his name from the Korean Baseball Organization draft, to pursue a dream he had had for years to play baseball in the United States, all before Cho turned 18 last August.
Although he wasn’t a pro baseball prospect, Lee knew a little bit about the challenges that Cho was going to face just in moving halfway across the world, especially when he didn’t speak English.
“I can personally relate,” Lee said. “I came as a foreign exchange student 20 years ago. I know what he first felt when he came to America. I put him in situations where he was uncomfortable. I put him in the hitting facility in Atlanta where we train.
“There were times where I actively took a step back just so he could go through those awkward interactions.”
Lee knew his mission was to get Cho in front of MLB scouts, and to let them see, and project, what Cho could offer to an organization willing to invest in him – a sweet left-handed swing, a body that could develop into a power hitter, the ability to run and throw well enough to play center field.
It was a skill that wasn’t as immediately obvious, however, that Lee thought would separate Cho from some other prospects, no matter what part of the world they were from.
“His will and determination,” Lee said. “He’s a very confident kid. He’s obsessed with working out, doing any baseball related activity – to a point where I was telling him, ‘You need to learn how to scale it back a little bit.’
“I think that’s going to be key in him thriving here in the U.S.; his work ethic, motivation and determination to succeed. Guys have to have that (when moving to the U.S.). They can’t be overwhelmed by the environment. They can’t be overwhelmed by the language and the different culture.”
Lee and his wife brought Cho into their home, trying to help him adjust culturally to what living in the U.S. was going to be like. Lee took him out to dinner, and tried to teach Cho what he needed to do when the day came that he was on his own, because that environment is much different than it is in Korea, Lee said.
“I told him when we were done eating, you had to ask for the check,” Lee said. “I wanted him to experience it himself, so I left him there and went to the restroom. It turned out he ended up asking the busboy for the check, and that kid said a bunch of things Won-bin didn’t understand.
“It was a teaching moment for him. Little things like that are hard to teach unless you actually go through it. I emphasize those things because I don’t want him to go out to eat and feel uncomfortable. Now he can go to Chipotle and order on his own.”
There were other times when Lee and Cho were together that Cho would not understand something and looked to Lee to translate for him.
“I would just shrug,” Lee said. “Figure it out – whether you have to point or repeat what you’re asking for. It’s just what you have to go through. I can’t help you with these basic steps. He’s very intitutive and very quick to pick things up.”
While Lee put an emphasis on learning those off-the-field skills, he also knew what was going to be of more immediate interest to teams – Cho’s baseball skills. He saw how hard Cho worked at his game, sometimes trying to do too much.
“When he was staying at my house, he’d work out all day then at night he would be in my living room practicing his swing,” Lee said. “I wouldn’t have been able to tell him to do that, because then I would be forcing it. He would hit at the facility for hours. There were many days where he would hit twice a day because that was just what he wanted to do.
“I represent more than two dozen players now and he has a work ethic and drive that I see in 30-year-olds, not in an 18-year-old kid. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I had to tell him to stop working out sometimes. He just feels a need and a drive to do that.”
As the first few months passed, Lee was able to get scouts to come look at Cho. He could tell the Cardinals had a great deal of interest. Lee had a longstanding relationship with Slater stemming from his representation of former major-leaguer Josh Lindblom, who also pitched for five years in Korea.
Lee was able to find teams for Cho to join last fall, again to get him in front of scouts. The more the Cardinals saw, the more interested they became in trying to sign him.
The host family
Jin Kasuya had told his mother about Cho, and how impressed he was when he watched Cho work out at the Full Count facility.
Reluctant to go in the facility even when Polanco asked for her help translating, Yinie Kasuya thought it was going to be an awkward situation.
“It’s just weird for a mom to go in there,” she said. “It just happened naturally. Our first meeting he (Cho) was so polite. He was very humble and respectful. I really liked his personality. I had a really good first impression meeting him.”
Kasuya had moved to the U.S. from South Korea when she was 7. In addition to speaking fluent Korean, she also is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and she could tell immediately that Cho was comfortable speaking with her.
“I felt like I was talking to my son,” she said. “Jin was 15 and he was 18. He had been here for a while and I could sense a little bit of loneliness; he didn’t say it but I could sense it.
“I knew the feeling of not being able to speak the language and communicate. I felt really bad for him because I knew what he was going through.”
Kasuya took Cho out to eat with her, Jin and her younger son. Soon, he began spending more and more time at their house.
“He even told me, ‘I don’t know why, I just feel so comfortable here,’” she said.
Kasuya’s motherly instincts took over, and when Lee called one day and asked if it would be possible for Cho to move in with her family while he was still waiting to sign with a team, she said yes.
“I was just thinking if my son ever went to a different country and he was 18 and he was having to face all of this, I would want someone to be there for him,” Kasuya said. “I never really thought of anything other than as a mom. I wanted him to be comfortable.”
Like Lee, however, Kasuya also established some rules for Cho if he was going to be living at her house – and made sure Cho knew what would be required of him.
“We’re a normal family,” she told Lee. “I’ve got rules. I’ve got teenagers.
“If you live here I’m going to treat you like my sons. Culturally in Korea they don’t tell kids to do a lot of chores. It’s a completely different lifestyle. Usually the mom does everything.”
Kasuya gave Cho his list of chores – taking out the trash; emptying the dishwasher, cleaning up after himself. In reality, as Lee had done, she was helping him learn what he would need to do once he was on his own.
She taught him how to fry an egg and how to make a simple salad, lessons she had already taught her two sons. She was impressed by how willing Cho was to learn about the American way of life.
Kasuya also was impressed by Cho’s dedication to making his dreams come true.
“I really have respect for him,” she said. “He’s only 18 and he’s very disciplined. I told my sons, ‘Look at him, he’s a role model.’ Jin is a baseball player too, and he looked at Won-bin as a big brother.”
When Lee and Cho went to Mexico for several days so Cho could obtain a work visa before spring training, they returned to Atlanta on the day of Jin’s first game of the season. Only a freshman, he is the starting shortstop on the varsity team and already has made a verbal commitment to play at the University of South Carolina.
“Won-bin told me he was going to be there, and I told him you don’t have to,” Kasuya said. “He said, ‘I’m going to see him. They came straight from the airport and got there for like the last two innings. It was so touching, so sweet.”
Kasuya made certain that Cho called his mother often, or at least sent a text message, just to let her know that he was doing OK. She also has talked with Cho’s parents, and they plan to meet for the first time in July when they travel from South Korea to Florida.
“If my son was out of the country, I would want to hear from him to say everything was good,” Kasuya said. “Just one sentence can make a mom’s day.”
Cho is now sending those messages to Kasuya as well.
“He’s getting so mature now,” she said. “We’re very excited for him.”
The scouts
Cho first put himself on the Cardinals’ radar in November 2020 when he won a home run derby at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, the home of the Texas Rangers.
When Lee let the team know that Cho was pulling his name out of the KBO draft, and moving to Atlanta, the Cardinals interest – at least in wanting to see more of him – got stronger.
The more they saw Cho, and the more scouts they had see him, the more they liked what they saw.
Three scouts – Clint Brown, Brian Hopkins and Joe Almarez – all traveled to Atlanta to watch Cho last fall. So too did Moises Rodriguez, an assistant general manager in charge of international scouting, and Slater, who made two trips to see him. Slater sent video of Cho’s batting practice to Russ Steinhorn, the Cardinals’ minor-league hitting coordinator, to solicit his opinion.
Slater has long been involved in the Cardinals’ scouting of players in the Far East, being involved in many of the signings of players leaving the Japanese and Korean pro leagues.
“Every one of the scouts I sent in there came back to me, not knowing what the other scouts had said, and said, ‘You should see this guy on the bases. You should see how he handles himself in the on-deck circle,’” Slater said. “He’s just a very focused, committed young man.
“He really wants to do this. I already knew that when he took himself out of the KBO draft. He took a big risk. He had a lot of good friends on his high school team who got drafted. He would have been drafted. He took a risk, during Covid, at only 17 years old.”
As much as Slater and the other scouts liked Cho’s focus and passion, the biggest factor in deciding whether to sign any player comes down to his ability, and what the scouts think he will turn into in the future.
“He was so balanced at the plate with projectable power and a major-league body,” Slater said. “We liked his swing. We liked his approach. It really got down to his drive and his focus.”
Rodriguez looked at Cho with the same eyes he watches young prospects every year in Latin America. There was a lot that he liked as well.
“Everything was very positive about him,” Rodriguez said. “He flashed some power. He had a good stroke. He had a good approach. He checked a lot of boxes.
“He shows hitter’s instincts at the plate. He was just 18. You can see him progressing a lot more. We thought there was some upside there we could capture. We’re betting a bit on our player development system.
“He didn’t have a ton of structured game history, but that fits with the nature of international scouting. A lot of times we are trying to evaluate the raw tools and see if they translate. … You do a lot more projection and dreaming. It falls right in line with how we do a lot of our international evaluation. …There were a lot of things on top of his ability that made him attractive.”
Before the Cardinals submitted a formal offer, Slater and Rodriguez went to lunch with Cho and Lee, trying to get to know more about him and his background. They followed that up with a zoom call with Cho’s parents in South Korea.
“They were very meticulous in their process,” Lee said. “It was pretty obvious to see from the steps that they were taking that they cared for the player.”
When the international signing period began in January, the deal was finalized and Cho became a Cardinal.
“This is going to take three, four or five years for him to become what we think he can become,” Slater said. “Ideally he becomes Shin-Soo Choo (who left South Korea as an amateur and played 16 years in the majors) or someone like that, an impact major-league player.
“Our scouts really believed in him. Moises believed in him. I believed in him. We’re going to see where this goes.”
The player
Cho’s earliest baseball experiences in South Korea came as a pitcher. When he was 16, he thought a better career path would be as a hitter.
The only problem was that Cho wasn’t in the type of physical shape he needed to be in to play every day in the outfield. For the first time in his life he started to lift weights. He began running a lot and changed his diet.
Over a three-to-four month span, Cho lost about 40 pounds.
“I moved to a new school and in the transition had a new mindset,” Cho said through his team-appointed interpreter, James Bae. “I first thought with this body I can’t play good enough baseball. That was the moment I wanted to be dedicated to baseball.”
The power showcase in Texas cemented Cho’s desire to pursue a career in the U.S.
“I was so determined, it wasn’t a difficult decision (to leave Korea),”Cho said.
The hardest part, Cho said, was waiting to actually sign the contract with the Cardinals – and watching his friends getting selected in the KBO draft.
“Mentally it was the most challenging (time),” Cho said. “I didn’t doubt my ability, but it was challenging to see my friends going to the pro teams (in Korea) and I was just waiting. That was the hardest part.”
Now that Cho is in Florida wearing a Cardinals uniform, however, that worry has passed – and now he is concentrating every day on improving his skills.
He is facing pitchers who throw faster than those he faced in South Korea. He is playing with and against older players, and even players his same age who have played in a lot more games, against better competition, than has faced.
“The players here throw harder and are bigger and stronger,” Cho said. “When I go to the plate, it makes me a little more excited. I am looking forward to the experiences I am going to get.”
Cho already has realized one important factor about his own performance, something it often takes young players more than a month in spring training to understand. It speaks to his knowledge and appreciation of the game.
“The thing I have to keep in mind is that the results of at-bats can’t always be good,” he said. “I always have to keep in mind to do what I can do and control what I can control. I have to focus on that and stick to the basics.”
He is working on developing his English skills, going to Bae’s hotel room every night to work on understanding expressions. He knows learning the language better will help both on and off-the-field. It is the continuation of work that Cho started with Lee.
When spring training ends next week, Cho will remain in Jupiter to begin participating in the extended spring program, filled with young players, and then he is scheduled to join the rookie Complex League team when that season begins in July.
“I am planning on the long term,” Cho said. “I want to take it one step at a time. I just need to get as many at-bats as possible.”
The Cardinals will give Cho the time to do that.
“We’re going to take it slow with him,” Slater said. “He would be going through the 2022 draft if he was in the U.S. He will decide the pace. He is going to have a lot of support.”
Said Lee, “The Cardinals signed a five-tool player with very high drive and motivation. A lot of the tools are there. He just needs time to refine them.”

Last year we saw too many hacked DeFi platforms. In a short time, a new $600 million hacking event took place. In addition to all this, it was announced that the Ola Finance platform was hacked today. Vulnerabilities arising in blockchain-based platforms increase the appetite of attackers.
Ola Finance hacked
Credit provider Ola Finance was robbed today by an eccentric break-in. Ola Finance, a platform for creating custom DeFi modules, used the Fuse-based Voltage Finance protocol mechanism. Cybersecurity provider PeckShield explained how attackers drain liquidity. It is emphasized that the first DeFi center on the EVM-compatible Fuse Network (FUSE) blockchain system, Voltage Finance, Ola Finance suffered losses of $ 4 million.
“About 3 hours ago, we became aware of the hacking of the @voltfinance credit platform, as a result of which $4 million was stolen in denominations of $USDC, $FUSD, $BUSD, $WBTC, $WETH and $FUSE.”
According to PeckShield’s analysis, hacking became possible due to the incompatibility of Compound (COMP) forks (Ola Finance allows DeFi companies to create systems similar to Compound) and tokens of a certain standard based on Ethereum.
The ERC677/ERC777 tokens have built-in callback functions that allow attackers to abuse the Ola mechanism to deplete the liquidity pools that are accessed.
Elvis Zhivkovich from the Voltage Finance team said:
“The Voltage Finance DeFi protocol was not used. Ola Finance has been abused. We are partners of Ola and use their platform for lending as a service. Ola Finance is a separate team that does not belong to either Fuseio or Voltage Finance.”
2022 Cryptocurrency Hacking
With mixers like Tornado Cash, attackers can easily launder cryptocurrencies from an attack. Attackers who can move freely thanks to the anonymity provided by cryptocurrencies are particularly targeting DeFi platforms. Newly discovered addresses are blacklisted. Voltage Finance, the operator of USD Coin (USDC) Circle Inc. and CEX teams to blacklist the corresponding addresses in the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.
The DeFi hacks broke all previous records in terms of stolen assets. Two days ago, the Ronin (RON) Axie Infinity sidechain was hacked, resulting in losses of $625 million. The Ronin (RON) attack has gone down in history as the largest attack in the history of decentralized finance (DeFi). | https://www.somagnews.com/the-defi-platform-has-been-hacked-millions-of-dollars-have-been-lost/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:54Z |

The slum dwellers residing along the rail tracks are rushing to railway offices to show relevant documents as rail authorities have issued notices to demolish their structures. These slums have been built illegally on rail land though now they are asking for alternative accommodation. As of February this year, there were around 24500 unauthorized structures that have illegally encroached upon the 57 hectares of railway land on both Central and Western Railways.
On March 31, several slum dwellers and encroachers staying on railway land, came to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) hoping to meet the Central Railway officials. The authorities have asked them to show relevant papers to prove that they have been residing on these lands for a stipulated time.
“Covid has already affected our lives with no jobs and pay cuts. I am trying to meet ends by doing odd jobs. And now the railways have sent us notices to vacate our homes and if not cleared then will demolish it using bulldozers,” said Ghulam Kadir Khan, who is staying on encroached rail land in Kurla.
On Central Railway there are 13839 structures occupying 37 hectares of rail land while on the Western Railway, 10572 structures have encroached rail land of 20 hectares. These are namely those encroachers who have been staying on railway land and are now been vacated by railway administration.
“Every election we have been voting based on valid documents. Before elections; politicians make tall promises and we are given importance only then. And all of a sudden we have been tagged as encroachers although we are staying here for years together,” said Aatish Lokhande from Dombivali.
The railway officials claim that the Indian Railways do not have any policy to rehabilitate these encroachers on rail land. And so, they will have been given eviction notices. Only those whose slums fall under a project being undertaken under Mumbai Urban Transport Project; could get alternative rehabilitation only if they manage to show relevant documents to the authorities; explained a railway official.
Earlier last month, the Minister for State for Railways Raosaheb Danve had stated that rehabilitation of these families residing illegally and encroaching railway land is the state government’s responsibility. In December 2021, during hearing of the encroachment issue, the Supreme Court directed the Railways to evacuate the encroached railway land across the country on priority basis.

Recently, it was revealed that the famous singer Jennifer Lopez and actor Ben Affleck have bought a Mansion in the exclusive neighborhood of Bel-Air (California) for 55 million dollars.
It is worth mentioning that the new refuge of Jennifer López and Ben Affleck It is located on a discreet plot of almost 10,000 square meters.
The property, known as the Bellagio Estate, was previously owned by billionaire Texas hedge fund manager Todd Lemkin, who bought it in 2016 for a total of $27.6 million.

The mansion has ten bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, which are undoubtedly more than perfect to accommodate the two families of the actors.
As if that were not enough, the new acquisition of Jennifer López and Ben Affleck has a living room, a cinema, a gym, a wine cellar, several kitchens for the occupants, the service and another in the additional guest house.
Additionally, outdoor amenities include an infinity pool with a Jacuzzi and a state-of-the-art barbecue.
It is important to note that the mansion was built in 1936 by architect Paul Revere Williams, known for designing numerous mansions for celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and Barbara Stanwyck, among others.
Something extremely beautiful is that the house is surrounded by trees and has views of the Bel Air Country Club golf course and the city of Los Angeles.
On the other hand, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, almost a year after resuming their relationship, apparently no longer fear being captured by the paparazzi cameras that follow them everywhere, and more so now that it is known that the couple acquired their mansion. .
Without a doubt, the celebrities are extremely excited about this big step in their relationship, that is why they are focused on making this new space that they are going to share with their children comfortable and to the taste of each one.
However, it is worth mentioning that it is JLo who is focused on the remodeling of the place.
Jen is definitely taking the lead on home decor, but they want to imprint the two’s style so everyone feels comfortable moving in and starting this new chapter in everyone’s lives,” a source close to the couple said. | https://d1softballnews.com/this-is-the-mansion-that-jennifer-lopez-has-with-ben-affleck/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:55Z |
Washington governor signs Uber, Lyft driver pay guarantee into law
By Tina Bellon
March 31 (Reuters) - Washington Governor Jay Inslee on Thursday signed into law a minimum pay standard for Uber and Lyft drivers, making Washington the first U.S. state to implement earnings standards for ride-hail companies.
Drivers across the Northwestern state will earn a minimum of $1.17 per mile and 34 cents per minute with a minimum pay of $3.00 per trip.
Under the new law, drivers will also have access to paid sick time, family medical leave and long-term care programs, and be eligible for workers' compensation, a U.S. government-mandated program that provides benefits to workers who become injured or ill on the job. Drivers will also be able to appeal should they be removed from the apps.
In Seattle, which passed its own ride-hail pay standard in September 2020, drivers will continue to earn minimum rates of $1.38 per mile and 59 cents per minute at a minimum of $5.17 per trip.
The law, which has been supported by Uber and Lyft, takes away local regulatory power, banning cities and counties from implementing additional requirements for companies.
The law also states that ride-hail drivers are not employees, a contentious issue between some labor groups and gig economy companies including Uber and Lyft. The gig companies, whose workers operate as independent contractors, oppose any reclassification while some labor groups argue drivers should be employees with access to greater benefits.
"This new law decisively gives drivers what they want - to stay independent while gaining historic new benefits and protections," Uber's head of public policy in the Western U.S., Ramona Prieto, said in a statement. She said Uber hoped the law could be replicated in other cities, states and countries.
"Drivers achieved this win because labor organizations, legislators, and app-based companies listened to them, and then worked together to drive a historic bill that works for them," Lyft's head of government relations, Jen Hensley, said in a statement.
The new Washington law was supported by the Teamsters union Local 117, which was also behind the push for the Seattle pay standard.
Before this law, in the United States only Seattle and New York City had implemented minimum pay standards for ride-hail drivers.

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

ST. LOUIS — Ballpark food at Busch Stadium is serious business. Cardinals executive sous-chef Norman Taylor has been the brain in the kitchen for 22 years.
“This year we are bringing back some old items, and we are re-inventing some items,” Taylor said.
For 2022, the Philly Cheesesteak will be replaced by a new sandwich, filled with fresh shaved ribeye.
“We’re adding provolone cheese to it. But you can top them with roasted red pepper or onions,” Taylor said.
Fans will also see new desserts. The stadium will offer small doughnuts smothered in icing and chocolate, and topped with sprinkles, designed to taste like mini funnel cakes.
New Busch Stadium food for 2022
But the newest addition that Taylor insists fans try are the barbecue nachos.
“This is the item that we will be making another way. We are still using our house-smoked barbecue. We have changed the cheese from queso to nacho cheese because that works better in St. Louis. And even better than that, we’re going to be using Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce” Taylor said.
The Cardinals will open their season at Busch Stadium against the Pirates on April 7. | https://www.ksdk.com/article/sports/st-louis-cardinals-busch-stadium-2022-food/63-1301b48f-b489-4285-a1b3-a3bfbd774a9d | 2022-04-01T01:39:59Z |

A saying goes, “80 percent of success in life is just showing up.” In my observation as an educator and a parent of a grown adult, I have seen that students who have the habit of showing up on time achieve their goals and live happier lives.
If showing up at school leads to more success and happiness, what are the effects of not showing up or poor school attendance? First, many parents may not realize how often their child is absent from school. A missed day here and there may not seem like a big deal compared to missing several days in a row. But missing just two days a month can add up to a child being considered chronically absent (considered chronically absent is when a student misses 18 days of school).
Chronic absences keep kids from getting the consistent daily direct interaction and instruction they need to build academic skills. For kids with learning and thinking differences, there’s something else to consider: Frequent absences not only mean less teaching, but also missed opportunities for intervention, re-teaching, and enrichment.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), poor attendance has severe implications for later outcomes in life. High school dropouts have been found to exhibit a history of negative behaviors, including high levels of absenteeism throughout their childhood, at higher rates than high school graduates. Students who eventually dropped out of high school missed significantly more days of school in first grade than their peers who graduated from high school.
What can parents do to help to improve school attendance? Attendance Works (https://www.attendanceworks.org) has the following suggestions:
Make school attendance a priority.
Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day.
Help your child maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
Try not to schedule dental and medical appointments during the school day.
Don’t let your child stay home unless truly sick. Complaints of headaches or stomach aches may be signs of anxiety.
Help your child stay engaged.
Find out if your child feels engaged by his classes and feels safe from mistreatment. Make sure students are not missing class because of behavioral issues and school discipline policies. If any of these are problems, work with your school.
Stay on top of academic progress and seek help from teachers or tutors if necessary. Make sure teachers know how to contact you.
Stay on top of your child’s social contacts. Peer pressure can lead to skipping school, while students without many friends can feel isolated.
Talk to teachers if you notice sudden changes in behavior. These could be tied to something going on at school.
Check on your child’s attendance to be sure absences are not piling up.
Ask for help from school officials, afterschool programs, other parents, or community agencies if you’re having trouble getting your child to school.
We all know that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused many students to miss school, which we cannot change, but we can change what we will do in the future. Showing up on time to school is essential to your child’s future. Please contact your child’s school if you would like assistance with ideas and strategies to maximize your child’s attendance. | https://www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/2022/03/31/ukiah-unified-school-desk-poor-school-attendance-has-life-long-serious-implications/ | 2022-04-01T01:39:59Z |

DETROIT (AP) — In the long debate over whether Black Americans should be granted reparations for the atrocity and injustices of slavery and racism, California took a big step this week toward becoming the first U.S. state to make some form of restitution a reality.
The state’s reparations task force tackled the divisive issue of which Black residents should be eligible — it narrowly decided in favor of limiting compensation to the descendants of free and enslaved Black people who were in the U.S. in the 19th century.
Whether Tuesday’s vote by the task force spurs other states and cities to advance their own proposals, and whether they adopt California’s still controversial standard for who would benefit, remains to be seen. Some veteran reparations advocates disagree strongly with proposals to limiting eligibility to only Black people who can prove they have enslaved ancestors, while excluding those who cannot and leaving out victims of other historic injustices, such as redlining and mass incarceration.
Still, one advocate noted California’s move is a step that could lend momentum to stalled reparation proposals elsewhere in the U.S.
“It’s precipitated a debate and it will influence communities,” said Ron Daniels, president of The Institute of the Black World 21st Century and administrator of the National African American Reparations Commission, an advocacy group of scholars and activists.
As to whether others will adopt the same approach to eligibility, Daniels said: “That’s to be decided. … We think that ultimately a more expansive definition will prevail.”
The commission headed by Daniels has taken a position that limiting reparations to slave descendants, or to Americans whose ancestors were free Blacks living during the time of slavery, ignores the effects of racism that persisted for more than a century after emancipation.
“There are always going to be criteria” for reparations, Daniels said. “The problem is the harms have been so gross that almost no Black person is not eligible in some form or another.”
Although there is still debate among historians about when exactly the practice began, chattel slavery in what would become the U.S. dates back to 1619 when about 20 enslaved Africans were brought to Jamestown, Virginia — then a British colony. Over the next two centuries, more than 300,000 men, women and children were forcibly taken from Africa to work on plantations in southern colonies and later the Southern states, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and maintained by Rice University.
Slavery in the U.S. officially ended in 1865 with the ratification of the 13th Amendment. Union Army General William Sherman promised compensation to freed slaves in the form of land and mules to farm it — hence the phrase “40 acres and a mule” — after the North’s victory over the South in the Civil War. But President Andrew Johnson took away the offer.
More than 120 years later, then-Rep. John Conyers, a Detroit Democrat, first introduced H.R. 40, a bill that would create a federal commission to study reparations and make proposals. Conyers reintroduced it in every congressional session until he resigned in 2017. As a candidate, President Joe Biden said he supported creating the commission, but has yet to formally back it as commander-in-chief. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, is currently the lead sponsor of the House bill.
Getting governmental leaders to openly consider slavery reparations has been daunting and taken decades. But progress has been made at both the state and local levels, particularly since the national reckoning on racial injustice that was sparked after the 2020 murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis.
In Michigan, legislative proposals submitted earlier this year in the House of Representatives call for $1.5 billion in federal dollars to be placed in a racial equity and reparations fund within the state’s treasury. The funds would be issued to various state departments and agencies to provide grants, loans and other economic assistance for businesses and economic developments that promote the Black community.
The bills have yet to receive a hearing in the House.
Last year, Evanston, Illinois, — the first U.S. city to find a source of funding for reparations — began giving eligible Black residents $25,000 housing grants for down payments, repairs or existing mortgages. The program is meant to atone for the history of racial redlining and housing discrimination. Recipients were selected randomly from among the applicants, Black residents who lived in the city between 1919 and 1969.
And in Providence, Rhode Island, the mayor announced a city commission on reparations in February that will look to atone for the city’s role in slavery and systemic racism, as well as the mistreatment of Native Americans.
For Anita Belle, a grassroots activist in Detroit, where residents in the mostly Black city voted in November to create a city reparations commission, getting to this point in the pursuit of reparations is cause for celebration. But what happens next is worrisome, especially when it comes to who gets what and how much, she said.
“I am happy for all of us who have been doing the groundwork for all these years,” said Belle, founder of the Reparations Labor Union. “We are somewhat afraid that these people who have jumped on the bandwagon are actually there to sabotage it and make reparations $12.62, if that. There will be those saboteurs — people who look like us, but have hidden agendas.”
“You have some of that fear in California where the scope for reparations was narrowed to the people who can prove they were enslaved,” she added. “The people of California will be like ‘why am I paying reparations for someone who was enslaved in Mississippi?’”
In California, the task force is taking the next step with economists to determine the cost of compensating more than 2 million Black residents, although all of them would not be eligible. Following slavery abolition, Black migration to California happened primarily in the immediate decades after World War II, with newly arrived African Americans settling in cities like Oakland, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The Black population there rose from just under a half-million residents, or 4.4% of the population, in 1950 to 1.4 million residents, or 7% of the population, by 1970. Decades later, the 2020 census recorded 2.1 million Black residents in California, or about 5.3% of the state’s population.
While proposals and who would be eligible appear to vary, they still are types of reparations, according to Rashawn Ray, senior fellow of Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution.
“California chose to focus on enslavement of Black people,” Ray said. “In Evanston, it’s redlining and housing segregation. Both are issues that need restitution to them based on what the wrong is.”
But, Ray added, “Federal reparations — without a doubt and hands-down — that’s what we need. What is happening in California should be happening in Congress.”
As a former alderman for the city of Evanston, Illinois, and a longtime reparations advocate, Robin Rue Simmons said reaching consensus on eligibility can be tough because policymakers should be as expansive and inclusive as possible, while also identifying specific harms that they’re seeking to address.
The big step taken by California could help spur action on reparations proposals in other cities and states, Simmons said, and perhaps add pressure for the federal government to act, which she sees as critical.
She doesn’t expect California’s lineage-based eligibility standard to become the norm.
“I don’t think any community should think that another has figured it out for them,” Simmons said, “because every community is going to have their own priorities and their specific history.”

The ABC television network has renewed its medical drama The Good Doctor, for season 6. This news comes as we approach the final moments of the fifth installment and after the network has also already renewed the Grey’s Anatomy dramas (for the season 19) and Station 19 (for season 6) and the sitcom Abbott Elementary (for season 2). However, this is what is known from the latest episodes of Shaun (Freddie Highmore) and Leah (Paige Sparra).
The final episodes of the fifth season of The Good Doctor have been showing how all the members of the hospital are fighting against the strict policies that the new director of the compound, Salen (Rachel Bay Jones), has adopted. Since her arrival, she has only brought problems and death to several patients who really needed help.
However, during episodes 11 and 12, which aired on March 21 and 28, viewers saw how members of the board of directors of St. Bonaventure Hospital hired journalists with hidden cameras to record everything that was happening with the patients.
In addition to the hospital situation, Leah and Shaun’s relationship continues to have some problems as the date of their marriage approaches, and according to the first images that were shown of this installment, things did not end well for both. Especially after Shaun says “No” to Leah at the altar.
Interestingly, now that the ABC television network has confirmed that The Good Doctor will have a season 6, they have decided to celebrate the announcement with an emotional video that was published by the official Instagram account of the program. Check out the beautiful video below.
The Good Doctor has been a steady performer for ABC, maintaining its 0.4 demo rating throughout the weeks. According to the network, the drama is the number 1 entertainment series in the 10 pm slot (in the United States), which is why it receives its renewal without any problem.
The Good Doctor season 5 has also averaged 10.5 million total viewers and a 2.1 demo rating after 35 days of viewing on ABC’s linear and digital platforms.

The Kurar Police have arrested a delivery man with a food aggregator for allegedly stealing valuables from a company messenger. The accused was earlier charged for murder and was released on parole during the lockdown.
According to police, on March 25, the delivery personnel of the logistics company had come to deliver some household items at Raheja Complex in Malad (E) and he had a big gunny bag of items in it. However, when the accused, Manish Gaud, saw the delivery personnel leaving the bag unattended, he picked up the bag and fled from the spot.
When the delivery personnel came back, he saw the bag was gone and approached the police. During the investigation, police scrutinised CCTV camera footage and saw the accused wearing a T-shirt of a food aggregator app, taking the stolen bag on his scooter. Enquiries were made and the accused was identified as a resident of Kandivali (E), wherein he was traced and charged for theft.
The detailed probe however revealed that Gaud stole the bag to provide it to his wife, who is fond of branded products. Moreover, Gaud, who had a criminal history, had committed several thefts in neighboring areas, but was hardly reported. Police also learnt that Gaud was lodged in Nagpur Prisons for 10 years in connection to the kidnapping and murder charges of a minor boy since 2012. He was recently released on parole during the COVID-19 wave.

A developer had been trying for some time to find a new way of working. Doing it with 28-inch or 32-inch 4K monitors just didn’t work: I had to scale the image to see everything a little bigger.
What did? shop two giant 75-inch televisions that he placed in a room in his house, one horizontally and the other in portrait mode (that’s nothing). No tables, of course: a good chair and some tables for the keyboard and the mouse ended up completing a great job. and never better said.
This is working big and the rest is nonsense
This developer, nicknamed ‘deselected’ on Reddit, recounted his experience on this social network, where his way of solving the problem became a phenomenon.
He explained the reason for doing something like that: always I ended up scaling the image on the 4K monitors I was using to 175% or 200% “because the text is unreadable and very small at that size, so I realized I wasn’t really using all the pixels that were available to me.”
For him it made more sense to buy a bigger 4K screen whose resolution did not have to scale or that it had to scale very little (100%-125%), and be “at the perfect distance as if you were in front of a 1080p quad monitor on a table”.
At Xataka we have already talked about the fact that there are times when a good Smart TV can certainly be very interesting. as monitorand the landing of the 42-inch LG OLED models – we already have first impressions – and Sony is promising in this regard.
Just buying two 75″ Smart TVs from Blaupunkt, and he chose them because they were the cheapest he could find at that resolution and size. He also bought two brackets that allowed him to place a television in landscape mode and another in portrait mode, and completed his particular ‘setup’ with various elements.
Among others, with a recliner from the brand Artiss and a speaker system from JBL. The PC he uses to run everything was much more modest than you might think: he uses an old computer with a Core i7-4790 and a GeForce GTX 970 with which it is capable of having the two televisions connected enjoying 4K resolution at 60 Hz.
The keyboard (a Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard) and the mouse (a Logitech MX Ergo Trackball) completed a configuration that, of course, is out of the ordinary due to those gigantic televisions that they act as peculiar monitors for their work. | https://d1softballnews.com/why-use-monitors-when-you-can-work-with-two-75-inch-tvs-directly/ | 2022-04-01T01:40:02Z |
AustralianSuper, Singtel-backed unit to buy Macquarie's Axicom for $2.68 bln
April 1 (Reuters) - A telecom tower unit of Singapore Telecommunications and pension fund AustralianSuper will buy rival Axicom, part-owned by investment bank giant Macquarie Group Ltd, for A$3.58 billion ($2.68 billion), the companies said on Friday.
The purchase builds on SingTel's physical footprint in Australia, where it already has No. 2 telco provider Optus, while offering a way for investment partner AustralianSuper to reach a goal of doubling its infrastructure holdings in five years.
Following the deal with Australia Tower Network (ATN), co-owned by Singtel and AustralianSuper, Singtel's shareholding in the combined business will be 18%, with the remaining held by AustralianSuper.
"This acquisition is a unique opportunity to scale up ATN's operations and expand its customer base," Singtel Group Chief Corporate Officer, Lim Cheng Cheng said.
"It also reinforces Singtel's commitment as a long-term investor in the Australian telecoms space," Cheng added.
Shareholders of Axicom, which owns and operates about 2,000 telecommunication sites across Australia, are a consortium led by Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets. The consortium also includes Unisuper and UBS.
"AustralianSuper is looking to double its infrastructure portfolio over the next five years from its current A$31 billion," AustralianSuper head of infrastructure Nik Kemp said.
"We believe that there will be significant growth in demand for digital infrastructure and will actively consider future opportunities in this space."

Recently, on the evenings of March 21-24, the Perry County Central High School Commodore Players performed their first full production since COVID-19 began, “The Outsiders,” based on the book by S.E. Hinton.
PCCHS Drama Teacher Phil Neace said the students have been working on the production since the beginning of the year and he is proud of their work.
“The students started rehearsals in January, worked around snow days and testing dates, but did their jobs well. I was personally very proud of our actors in their lead roles for being able to commit such complicated and long speeches to memory,” said Neace.
Andy Riley, PCCHS senior director, said his classmates were very helpful and patient through the process, and he is thankful for them all.
“They’ve been patient with me slowly figuring out how to direct, how to block,” said Riley. “I couldn’t have asked for a better play. I couldn’t have got better people to be a part of it.”
Neace said he feels that the students did a great job on the production, and it drew in a nice crowd each night.
“For a four-night run of shows, I was very impressed in our students. Their energy increased with every performance. Also, we were all pleased with great attendance in all four shows, with the biggest crowd being on our final night,” said Neace. “It was a wonderful experience to help these kids work on as their soon to be retired teacher, as well as to watch just as an audience member myself.”
The decision to perform “The Outsiders,” said the drama department, was a good choice.
“Even though ‘The Outsiders’ is a much darker story — more realistic in it's violence — than what a typical high school theatre group would do, we were fortunate that the story is well known thanks to our county's elementary school students enjoying the novel in their classes. We welcomed many young students of Perry County to our audiences thanks to this. It was a smart decision made by Andy Riley, our senior director, to do this show,” said Neace.
Riley said the play was one he wanted to do for many years.
“One of the first plays I remember watching here was ‘The Outsiders,’ and it was also senior directed. From then on I knew that I would be in drama,” said Riley. “It’s honestly a dream come true to be out here performing it and directing it.” | https://www.hazard-herald.com/news/pcchs-drama-performs-the-outsiders/article_fe9a8ca0-b0cc-11ec-8745-6b2305e9f0e2.html | 2022-04-01T01:40:04Z |
$15M Regina Urgent Care Centre to soon break ground
While the centre will take pressure off emergency rooms, the province was unable to provide a target on how much it’ll reduce wait times.
Article content
Construction is set to begin on Regina’s new $15 million Urgent Care Centre, a project that Mental Health Minister Everett Hindley says will bolster the overall health system.

While Hindley said the centre will take pressure off emergency rooms, the province was unable to provide a target on how much it’ll reduce wait times.
“I don’t think we have specific targets as of yet,” Hindley told reporters during a news conference on Thursday, adding officials are still determining staffing levels for the centre.
Expected to be open by next summer at 1350 Albert St., the centre will run 24 hours every day, providing care for those who need immediate medical attention and mental health help.
Graham Construction, which has mobilized equipment, will soon begin work on the site this spring. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) will own and operate the facility.
A second centre is being planned for Saskatoon, though no location has been decided yet.
Hindley said the centre will provide people with non-life threatening injuries or illnesses another option for care.
It’ll also support people who need X-rays, ultrasounds and assessments, as well as connections to community-based organizations, he added.
He said this includes support for those experiencing mental health and addictions challenges. There will be a separate intake system for professionals to handle patients, with access to psychiatric nurses and social workers.
“This new urgent care centre is an important project that will improve access to health services for residents in the city of Regina,” Hindley said. “More people will receive the care they need, when they need it.”

Andrew Will, the interim CEO of the SHA, said the centre will be a first for Saskatchewan.
Will wasn’t able to outline a target on how much the facility will reduce wait times.
He said patients who come to emergency rooms in hospitals likely wouldn’t be re-routed to the centre, though they would be made aware it’s an option.
“Making it seamless to access the right care at the right time, as close to home as possible, is a key priority of the Saskatchewan Health Authority,” he said.
Hindley said the centre signifies a “changing type of health-care,” adding that such facilities operate in other jurisdictions, like the United States.
“I think it just goes to show how the health-care system is evolving and providing other options to treat people in a timely fashion,” he said.
When asked if the centre will help reduce the province’s surgical backlog, Hindley said he thinks it will help the system overall, particularly taking pressure off emergency rooms.
There is roughly a backlog of 35,000 people waiting for surgeries in the province.
Saskatchewan intends to spend $21.6 million to perform an additional 7,000 surgeries over the next year. The federal government also plans to provide the province with $62 million to clear the backlog.
In 2012, former Premier Brad Wall announced plans for a centre in Regina that would provide outpatient surgery and ease pressure on hospitals in Regina.
The plan was put on hold in 2015 because, at the time, the government didn’t believe there was a need for another health facility.

When asked if it was a mistake to not go forward with that facility given the backlog in surgeries, Hindley said “today’s a good day” to launch the urgent care centre.
“We’re trying to build capacity across this province when it comes to health care,” he said. “We’ve built a number of long-term care facilities and a number of hospitals. That includes across the province, not just in the inner major centres, but in rural and regional locations.”
Will said the SHA is working on boosting its staffing to deal with the surgical backlog, finding alternative ways to hire and retain workers.

Death Of Denial: Part 1 (With Apologies To Agatha Christie)
March 31, 2022 | Tags: ZEROHEDGE
Death Of Denial: Part 1 (With Apologies To Agatha Christie)By Russell Clark of Capital Flows and Asset Markets Substack
One of the reasons I left the money management game was that many of the theories that I had used to manage money stopped working. Some of them were original, some I taken from others, and some I had modified. I knew I need to take time off and have a think. I also knew that I needed to read different books to get my mind thinking differently. As it happens, I have just finished reading Agatha Christies “Death on the Nile” (excellent book), and I particularly enjoyed how he looked at all the clues, organized them, and then slowly but surely eliminate suspects until only the murderer, however unlikely, was left.
For me, recent market action has eliminated the final suspect for what has caused the extremely long lived bull market in US equities. I had speculated that robustness of the US stock market was a feature of extremely loose credit conditions. These loose credit conditions were only possible due to a long drawn out commodity bear market, and hence if we had a spike in commodity prices which led to rising bond yields, then were likely to see a much weaker equity market.
Commodity prices, and particularly food prices have spiked. Food prices had spiked in 1996 before the Asian Financial Crisis, again in 2007 before the GFC and in 2011 during the Eurocrisis. My working assumption was that another spike would also signal problems. But with the exception of Chinese equities, major equity market returns over last 12 months have been robust. MSCI World is barely 5% from highs. I have used food, but energy price spikes have also led to weaker equity markets historically too.
I have also learnt to be cautious on equities when the Asian Dollar Index is going sideways or falling. Even after the Asian Financial Crisis, Asian currencies strengthened during the dot com bubble. Since a beak in 2010, they have been generally poor, even as U S equities have powered on.
I have also used net international investment position data to inform whether to be bearish on a currency or equity market. This worked well on pointing out danger in the dot-com bubble, and the top in the US dollar in the early 2000s. It also worked well for the Japanese bubble economy, the Asian Financial Crisis and the Eurocrisis. But this model has had me bearish on the US dollar and US equities since 2016, so very wrong indeed (see Spotting Property Bubbles in East Asia in my Archive for more details).
On a much shorter term basis, the S&P 500 has seemingly broken out of its relationship with HYG US (High Yield ETF). A similar chart can be drawn using mortgage rates, which have spiked. I would include - but Substack says I am at the limit already in this post!
I realized that I needed to look at all this clues again, and have a think about why they worked before, but did not work this time. And, by eliminating suspects, and having a long think, I think I have the answer. The murderer of all possible bear markets in the US dollar and US equity is…..

Electric truck maker Rivian says Russia-Ukraine war worsens supply-chain woes
Electric-vehicle maker Rivian Automotive Inc. says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is adding to supply chain pressures and costs, becoming one of the first U.S. automakers to cite the war in Eastern Europe as a risk and headwind.
In a regulatory filing Thursday, Rivian blamed the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, along with the ongoing pandemic and inflation, for “disruptions to and delays" in operations. The Irvine, California-based company also listed the conflict as a factor in higher component costs -- including battery metals, which it said have risen “considerably."

The Amazon.com Inc.-backed EV upstart has struggled to ramp up production of its debut battery-powered vehicles. The company had an embarrassing U-turn on raising prices earlier this month, a move it originally attributed to a supply chain crunch and price pressures. It also gave a tepid production forecast of 25,000 vehicles, half of what the company’s Normal, Illinois, plant is capable of building.
Rivian shares fell 3.4% to close at $50.24 in New York on Thursday. The stock is down more than 50% in the first three months of this year.
(Also read | EV maker Rivian delays deliveries of vehicles with big battery packs to 2023)
“There have been very sizable increases in recent months in the cost of key metals, including lithium, nickel, aluminum, and cobalt with volatility in pricing expected to persist for the foreseeable future," Rivian said in the filing, without explicitly linking the price pressures to the war.
In total, Rivian made 13 references to Ukraine in the filing. The company hadn’t previously made any explicit references to the war as a risk factor or headwind, but had acknowledged rising commodity prices and ongoing parts procurement challenges. | https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/news/electric-truck-maker-rivian-says-russia-ukraine-war-worsens-supply-chain-woes-41648774935896.html | 2022-04-01T01:40:05Z |

In 2022, several legislative sessions across the United States proposed and even passed 25 discriminatory bills against the LGBTQIA+ community. Utah is among several states that approved such legislation.
On March 10, the Utah legislature passed HB0011 which requires all transgender students to under go a physical evaluation in order to compete in sports.
The bill created the School Activity Eligibility Commission which outlines specific physical requirements like height, weight, body mass, flexibility, wingspan and other characteristics affected by puberty that transgender students would have to meet in order to get the commission’s approval.
The commission would consist of medical professionals, representatives of athletic associations and school coaches who would be appointed by majority party members of the Utah government.
Utah became the 12th state to restrict transgender athletes from competing in girls sports. Under the imminent law, it prohibits “a student of the male sex from competing against another school on a team designated for female students.”
On March 22, Utah Governor Spencer Cox vetoed HB0011 in support of the trans community.
“Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few,” Cox said. “I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live.”
On March 25, the Utah Legislature voted 56-18 to override the governor’s veto.
In an op-ed written for the Salt Lake Tribune, Gordon Monson mocked the bill.
“What are we afraid of here?” Monson wrote. “That a bunch of boys will insincerely avalanche into girls’ sports in order to gain some competitive advantage, to slake some hearty thirst for winning?”
The bill detailed that if a student does not pass the commission’s test, then they would not be allowed to participate in the gender-designated interscholastic activity.
Despite the issue being controversial among athletes and LGBTQIA+ groups, other concerns regarding Utah’s reputation have come up.
Some U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee leaders worry that the national attention could determine if Utah will be able to hold another Winter Games in the coming years.
“We are worried about legislation that takes a very kind of black-and-white view, of whether people can participate or not participate,” U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee Chairwoman Susanne Lyons said.
Lyons acknowledged that transgender athlete competition is a “big issue” for the Olympic movement but will not have “any impact” on the bid to bring the Winter Games to Utah.
The NBA All-Star Game is set to be hosted in Salt Lake City in 2023 and worries that the destination could be changed have risen.
The NBA has not publicly said anything about Utah’s bill but Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith tweeted that the bill was “rushed, flawed, and won’t hold up over time.”
The NBA has moved significant events from league cities in the past. In 2017, the All-Star Game was moved from Charlotte after the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law that required transgender people to use bathrooms that matched the sex on their birth certificates.
Another concern is the threat of upcoming lawsuits and boycotts directed at local school districts and the Utah High School Athletic Association.
Out of the 75,000 youth athletes in Utah, there are only four current transgender athletes in the state playing sports. The state law will take effect on July 1.

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

Mumbai: The Kasturba Marg Police have booked a suspended police sub-inspector (PSI) on Wednesday for allegedly not submitting the case papers, files belonging to the police station, hampering its investigation and putting at risk the justice served to the complainants. The suspended PSI Anil Sonawane, had been absconding for over a year now and an arrest warrant has already been issued against him.
According to police sources, PSI Sonwane was suspended from service on December 3, 2020, after he was named as a wanted accused for criminal conspiracy, cheating and robbery charges. During a police meet, it was revealed that Sonwane had not turned in the case papers and files of certain cases, of which he was the investigation officer, which are a crucial document for the probe.
In the absence of this document, not only the justice is delayed, but it can also hamper the investigation and give way for the accused to roam scot-free. When Sonawane was not found at his address and police learnt that he had not been living there for a couple of years now, a non-bailable arrest warrant was issued against Sonwane, but to no avail.
On the basis of these findings, a police inspector from Kasturba Marg police station lodged a complaint against Sonwane, acting on which the suspended PSI was booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for public servant disobeying law (section 166), omission to produce document to public servant by person legally bound to submit it (section 175), public servant disobeying direction of law with intent to save person from punishment (section 217), public servant framing incorrect record (section 218), along with sections of Maharashtra Police Act.

Interesting comments came from the creator of the most popular meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE). Founder Billy Marcus has announced that he has made quite a lot of money on DOGE. Here are the details…
Billy Marcus Just Made $3,000 on Dogecoin
Billy Marcus, co-founder of the largest meme coin Dogecoin, told exactly how much he earned by creating a cult asset that attracted thousands, if not millions, of new users to the cryptocurrency space. According to his latest tweet, Marcus reported that discussing allegations that he was too “cruel” towards influencers and developers who earned thousands and millions of dollars from fraud by creating DOGE, whose market capitalization was “$80 billion”, earned him only $3,000.
He also added that he was hacked by outsiders associated with dubious projects related to cryptography, which brought millions to their creators and everyone associated with them. Later, Marcus added that he wasn’t too harsh about it and felt pretty good before selling the cryptocurrency to pay rent in 2015. As we reported on Somagnews, the funds paid for rent can now cost a fortune, given that since then the overall cryptocurrency market has grown more than tenfold.
Marcus turned to the scammers
Previously, he led a thread about scammers and fake influencers in the cryptocurrency industry who advertise dubious projects for money and exploit their own communities. With these statements, we can say that he has become a community target again. However, this reaction may also be related to a change in the price of DOGE. Although Billy Marcus has nothing to do with it, some investors seem to be trying to justify the DOGE price drop from the DOGE founder.
We can understand the disappointment of the community, since the dynamics of the Dogecoin price over the past 150 days has been extremely negative. Ranked twelfth by market capitalization, DOGE has lost 80% of its value since May 2021, when it reached its historic high. The annual yield still exceeds 150%. | https://www.somagnews.com/the-inventor-of-dogecoin-announces-how-much-he-earned-on-doge/ | 2022-04-01T01:40:07Z |
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) — Firefighters from across Tennessee continued working Thursday morning to contain a wildfire near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that spread overnight despite rain from storms that passed through the area, officials said.
The blaze, which began as a brush fire Wednesday morning in the Hatcher Mountain area of Wears Valley, had spread to more than 3,700 acres (1,497 hectares) and had impacted more than 100 structures, Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters said during a press conference. Around 11,000 homes in the area had been evacuated. Three injuries were reported during the blaze, but Waters said no fatalities or missing people had been reported.
He said a coordinated response from emergency personnel, firefighters, forestry officials and others helped mitigate damage in the area.
“This fire could have been much more devastating had we not had this team in place. They were able to, even with the winds and the low humidity, they were able to stay ahead of it as much as possible,” he said.
Officials had warned early Wednesday that warm temperatures, low humidity and strong winds increased the risk of fire danger. Waters said the conditions were similar to those in 2016 when wildfires ravaged the tourism town of Gatlinburg, killing 14 people and damaging or destroying about 2,500 buildings.
Firefighters from more than 70 agencies helped respond to the blaze and many worked through the night in an effort to keep it from spreading. It was only 5% contained, but fire lines drawn overnight helped keep the blaze from spreading into the city of Pigeon Forge, Waters said.
Rain early Thursday from storms passing through did not put the fire out, but officials said it helped the situation and the current weather conditions were more favorable for containing the fire.
Evacuation orders remain in effect until the fire is under control. Schools in the area were closed Thursday as a precaution, officials said.
The fire was in what the state Agriculture Department described as steep and difficult terrain. The cause is still undetermined.
At least three shelters were established for those evacuated, authorities said. More than 100 people stayed overnight at the Pigeon Forge Community Center, Sharon Hudson, executive director of the Eastern Tennessee chapter of the American Red Cross. told the Knoxville News Sentinel.
A line of severe storms packing isolated tornadoes and high winds ripped across the Deep South overnight, killing at least two in the Florida Panhandle, toppling trees and power lines and leaving homes and businesses damaged as the vast weather front raced across several states. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/health-2/ap-health/crews-work-to-contain-wildfire-near-smoky-mountains/ | 2022-04-01T01:40:06Z |

Rapid Assessment on Returns and Durable Solutions: Markaz Al-Kaim Sub-district - Al-Kaim District - Al-Anbar Governorate - Iraq (February 2022)
Attachments
Situation Overview
In 2021, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) returning to their area of origin (AoO) or being re-displaced increased, coupled with persisting challenges in relation to social cohesion, lack of services, infrastructure and - in some cases - security in AoOs. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM)’s returnee master list recorded over 4.9 million individuals returning to their AoOs across the country, as of February 2022.
Increased returns and secondary displacement were driven primarily by the closure, consolidation, and reclassification of IDP camps. Between January and February 2022, no camps were closed, consolidated, or reclassified. However, for the camps that remain open across Iraq, there is an ongoing planning procedure to determine their future. In light of these dynamics, the need to better understand the sustainability of returns, conditions for the (re)integration of IDPs and returnees, and the impact of their presence on access to services and social cohesion has been identified in the context of durable solutions planning | https://reliefweb.int/report/iraq/rapid-assessment-returns-and-durable-solutions-markaz-al-kaim-sub-district-al-kaim | 2022-04-01T01:40:09Z |
The lockdowns imposed in the world to combat covid have weighed heavily on the psycho-physical health of citizens with a significant impact on the risk of cardiovascular disease, anxiety and depression. Although the lockdowns have led to a reduction in noise and air pollution, the final balance is negative, mainly due to the reduction in physical activity levels. This was revealed by a study carried out in three European cities that have adopted different measures, Stockholm (with very few restrictions in 2020), Vienna (with greater but not drastic measures) and Barcelona which has made a real lockdown.
Published in the journal Environmental Pollution, the study was conducted by experts from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), who estimated the reduction in physical activity levels due to restrictions, the reduction in the number of visits to urban green spaces, the reduction of atmospheric and acoustic pollution related to the lockdown. The experts also estimated the effects of these reductions in terms of heart attack and stroke risk, depression and anxiety.
It was found that the reduction of nitric oxide was 50% (atmospheric concentration of the pollutant halved) on average in Barcelona, the reduction in noise pollution was equal to 5 decibels (dB A) and the reduction in activity physical was as much as 95%. In Vienna, in the same period, the reduction of nitric oxide was 22%, the noise pollution was one dB (A), the reduction of physical activity by 76%. Finally, in Stockholm, smog levels dropped by just 9%, noise pollution by 2 dB (A), physical activity by 42%.
Experts estimated that if the measures implemented in the three countries had persisted for a year, due to the consequent reduction in physical activity, they would have resulted in a 10% increase in stroke and heart attack cases, an increase in 8% and 12% of depression and anxiety diagnoses respectively. In Vienna, the continuation of the measures for a year would have led to a 5% increase in heart attacks and strokes, and 4% and 7% of diagnoses of depression and anxiety.
Finally in Stockholm, although the restrictions imposed were very few, the decline in physical activity levels, if it had persisted for a whole year, would have caused a 3% increase in heart attack and stroke cases, 2% in diagnoses of depression. and 3% of anxiety cases.

A Perry County man who was convicted of rape and other crimes against a four-year-old child in 1992 has been arrested on a charge that he failed to report a change of address to the registry.
According to court documents, on March 21, Leslie Neace, 50, whose last reported address was Broadway Street, Hazard, was charged with failing to comply with sex offender registration because his address could not be verified.
Records show that Neace is a lifetime registration, who was convicted in Perry County in 1992 on charges of first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse. According to the sex offender registry, the victim in the case was four years old at the time of the crimes.
As a lifetime registration, Neace is required to report his address to the registry.
He was lodged in the Kentucky River Regional Jail and was set to be arraigned on March 29. The results of that hearing were not available as of presstime on March 30. | https://www.hazard-herald.com/news/sex-offender-charged-with-failure-to-comply-with-requirements/article_e4f254f4-b0cc-11ec-b118-cfdd58306359.html | 2022-04-01T01:40:10Z |
LOVELAND, Colo. — Harris Elias says he was driving home from his girlfriend's house in early 2020 when his life was changed forever.
Elias was driving in Fort Collins and was pulled over by a Loveland police officer.
“I was deliberate in my turn signal, trying to get out of the way of a person and not causing any conflict or any road rage or anything like that. I was just simply trying to get out of his way," Elias said. “When [the officer] mentioned the overwhelming odor of alcohol, I knew that he was dishonest. I knew outright that it was a lie, and I was in trouble.”
Elias was arrested by the officer for drunk driving. However, blood test results showed Elias had no alcohol or other substances in his system at the time of the arrest.
“I just didn't understand how someone who was completely sober could be led away to the jail, and embarrassed and humiliated," said Elias.
Elias says he has been dealing with the fallout from the arrest since it happened. It has created challenges on both personal and professional levels. For instance, he is a private pilot.
"I faced an immense challenge with the FAA. The Federal Aviation Administration takes drinking and driving at the most extreme seriousness, as it should be," Elias said. “Every time I fill out the medical form for the FAA to get cleared to fly, I will have to disclose that I was arrested for drunk driving.”
Two years later, Elias and his attorney, Sarah Schielke, filed a lawsuit against the City of Loveland and two police officers related to his arrest. On Thursday, they filed an amended complaint with the court. The complaint claims there are more than a dozen other instances where people have been arrested for drunk driving by Loveland officers, but blood tests do not back up the charges.
“It undermines the entire criminal justice system and undermines our ability to trust anything," Schielke said. “Drunk driving is indefensible. It's destroyed countless lives. But wrongfully charging somebody with a DUI also destroys their life.”
Schielke says there have been incentives within the Loveland Police Department encouraging officers to make DUI arrests. She believes that has led to wrongful arrests.
The City of Loveland will file an answer to the complaint, according to Schielke. After that, a court date for a status conference could be set. Schielke does not believe the City will want to settle the lawsuit.
“In the monetary damages, we're looking for a number that sends a message to this police department, to other police departments, not to incentivize arresting human beings, especially innocent ones," said Schielke. "$1.5 million is what we're looking for.”
Elias says he also wants to see systemic change as a result of the lawsuit.
“I don't think that any amount of money will change any portion of the pain and suffering," Elias said. “Someone needs to be willing to stand and have a fight with them.”
RELATED: Independent review of Loveland Police released after aggressive arrest of 73-year-old woman
Earlier this week, the Loveland Police Department announced a professional review of their policies and procedures involving DUI enforcement.
“It is important for me to stress the professional review is not an acknowledgment to the validity or accuracy of the specific complaints made by certain individuals about our DUI program," said Deputy Chief Eric Stewart.
Chief Robert Ticer, who is leaving the department soon, says officers go through rigorous DUI training and are tested on it every few years.
"The officers in this organization receive the highest level of impaired driving training so that they can do the best job possible within limitations of being a human being," said Ticer. “Every day in America, district attorney's dismiss cases. That happens. That does not mean that the person arrested was falsely arrested or unlawfully arrested."
Those with the Loveland Police Department say they cannot comment on specific cases, especially those involving civil litigation.
The officer involved in Elias' case remains with the department, working in the same role. | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/lawsuit-alleges-loveland-police-department-has-pattern-of-wrongful-dui-arrests | 2022-04-01T01:40:10Z |

Japan will act appropriately on oil reserves release -industry minister
TOKYO, April 1 (Reuters) - Japan will act appropriately on oil reserves release while closely watching global developments, the industry minister said on Friday, ahead of a meeting by International Energy Agency (IEA) member countries later in the day.
U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Thursday the largest release ever from the U.S. emergency oil reserve and challenged oil companies to drill more in an attempt to bring down gasoline prices that have soared during Russia's war with Ukraine.
"It is not clear whether the release will be done by the U.S. alone or the United States will make a proposal at the IEA meeting," Japanese industry minister Koichi Hagiuda told a news conference.
"In any case, we would like to act appropriately while keeping an eye on the international situation," he said.

NORFOLK, VA (WTKR)- Joe Bryant Jr. hopes his talents can take him to the NBA this year, but he may not be done as a Norfolk State basketball player just yet.
Bryant declared for the NBA Draft on Thursday night, making the announcement on social media, but added that he will maintain his college eligibility as a graduate student.
"Opportunities like this don't come often and it's best that I take advantage, but there's more work to be done," Bryant said to close his statement.
The Lake Taylor product has put together a storied collegiate career with the Spartans. He capped it off by earning MEAC Player of the Year and was named Most Outstanding Player of the conference tournament. Bryant was named a Lou Henson All-American and is a finalist for the Lou Henson National Player of the Year, given to the top mid-major player in the nation.
The guard averaged 16.7 points and 32.5 minutes per contest, both leading the Spartans. His free throw percentage of 91.5 was good enough to rank sixth in the country. He led NSU to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, including a victory over Appalachian State in the 2021 First Four.
"I have been blessed over the past four years to have such great coaches, teammates and mentors at Norfolk State to help me reach my goals at playing basketball at the next level," a portion of Bryant's statement read.

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.wmar2news.com/news/national/house-passes-35-a-month-insulin-cap-as-dems-seek-wider-bill | 2022-04-01T01:40:11Z |

Electric-vehicle maker Rivian Automotive Inc. says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is adding to supply chain pressures and costs, becoming one of the first U.S. automakers to cite the war in Eastern Europe as a risk and headwind.
In a regulatory filing Thursday, Rivian blamed the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, along with the ongoing pandemic and inflation, for “disruptions to and delays" in operations. The Irvine, California-based company also listed the conflict as a factor in higher component costs -- including battery metals, which it said have risen “considerably."
(Also read | Fire breaks out inside Rivian's electric vehicle plant, reason unknown)
The Amazon.com Inc.-backed EV upstart has struggled to ramp up production of its debut battery-powered vehicles. The company had an embarrassing U-turn on raising prices earlier this month, a move it originally attributed to a supply chain crunch and price pressures. It also gave a tepid production forecast of 25,000 vehicles, half of what the company’s Normal, Illinois, plant is capable of building.
Rivian shares fell 3.4% to close at $50.24 in New York on Thursday. The stock is down more than 50% in the first three months of this year.

“There have been very sizable increases in recent months in the cost of key metals, including lithium, nickel, aluminum, and cobalt with volatility in pricing expected to persist for the foreseeable future," Rivian said in the filing, without explicitly linking the price pressures to the war.
In total, Rivian made 13 references to Ukraine in the filing. The company hadn’t previously made any explicit references to the war as a risk factor or headwind, but had acknowledged rising commodity prices and ongoing parts procurement challenges. | https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/news/electric-truck-maker-rivian-says-russia-ukraine-war-worsens-supply-chain-woes/amp-41648774935896.html | 2022-04-01T01:40:12Z |
USDA forecasting higher food, grocery costs in 2022
(Gray News) - It looks like elevated food prices are going to continue this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The USDA released its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and predicted the cost of groceries would continue to increase to as much as 4%.
According to the Consumer Price Index, grocery and supermarket food prices were already 8.6% higher in February than last year and up nearly 1.5% from January to February in 2022.
As reported by the Associated Press, prices for U.S. consumers have continued to jump recently, leaving families facing the highest inflation rate since 1990.
“We’re getting into this situation where we have spiraling inflation,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “Inflation in one area drives inflation in another.”
Currently, the CPI reports all food categories are increasing in price other than fresh vegetables. Last year, the beef and veal categories had the most significant price increase of 9.3%, and the fresh vegetable category had the smallest at 1.1%. However, no food categories decreased in price in 2021.
Poultry prices are also expected to increase up to 7%, with egg prices predicted to increase up to 3.5% in 2022.
Overall, grocery store and supermarket food purchases are expected to increase up to 4%, with restaurant purchases or food away from home forecasted to increase up to 6.5%, according to the USDA.

Southern Utah University’s Ballroom Dance Company is performing their spring showcase “Rhythm of the Night” on April 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. in the Heritage Center Theater. Tickets can be purchased from a company member for $5 or at the door on the night of the performances for $7.
The company is made up of 50 students that perform in three ensembles. They each focus on and perform different dance styles such as the waltz, American swing and the samba.
“While preparing for this showcase, I have learned new styles such as the nightclub two step and refined my skills in other styles like the Viennese waltz and tango,” said Lydia Butler, a theater arts education major. “My favorite part about working on this production has been the people I work with. I love going to ballroom practice every morning and getting to work hard with the people I care about in an art form I’m passionate about.”
Annual events for SUU’s Ballroom Dance Company include their fall and spring showcases and “Dancing with the Stars.” Company members also reach out to the community to perform and hold classes for local organizations.
Since their founding in 1995, SUU’s Ballroom Company has grown to become a premier performing group on campus with continued interest from student dancers and audiences alike.
Butler also said being on the ballroom team has shaped her experience at SUU in the best way possible with chances to perform during and after the school year in various destinations including New York, Mexico and Canada.
“One thing I’ve learned from ballroom dancing is to focus because it is important to concentrate so a routine and technique can be learned quickly and efficiently,” said Lawrence Mbaki, a theatre arts and music education major. “Dancing is fun but it requires the dancer to be sharp and portray the mood of each genre when performing.”
The concert will feature suave and upbeat music, flashy costumes and polished formation ballroom dancing.
“[Ballroom Company Director] Chandler Guzzle does such a splendid job coaching us and giving us a platform to express ourselves,” said Mbaki. “It will be nice to see all of that hard work and time invested pay off.”

India is supposed to be a very spiritual country. There are increasing talks about India being a Vishvaguru. At the same time, it is interesting to note that there are many other countries which are not considered spiritual but are much higher on the happiness indicators. Isn’t that a paradox? If you are relatively spiritual you must be more happy.
This brings us to an interesting point I have been addressing with my spiritual students - All spiritual growth rests on psychological growth . If you as an individual and a community or a nation have not taken care of your past trauma, individual or collective there cannot be any spiritual growth. Years of subjugation under foreign rule have led to experiences of trauma for more than 500 years at a personal level, collective level and at a national level.
These experiences have been swept under the carpet instead of acknowledging it and dealing with it to have some sort of resolution. If a resolution is not achieved at a collective level, we cannot reap the benefits of spirituality. Yes, certain individuals will grow spiritually, take the responsibility to do what they can at the individual and collective level and move ahead in life.
However, in the fifty years that I have observed of society, forty years as a spirituaI teacher and ten years of being a student, psychological healing precedes spiritual growth. Either we have to deal with our trauma psychologically or look into the spiritual texts - Vedas, the Upanishads, the Gita etc and heal psychologically. Most people (seekers and teachers) can miss this point.
Hence, all talks about India being spiritual remain at a superficial level. Many people come to spirituality seeking answers to their trauma but they don’t want to deal with it psychologically. They want to go straight to spirituality which obviously does not work. At the national level unless we heal the trauma of the last 500 years, why trauma as recent as the early 60s in Goa or the 90s of Kashmir there is no hope for spiritual growth as a nation.

In The Last Kingdom, Alexander Dreymon starred as Uhtred of Bebbanburg’s interpreter in the first season. As expected, the veteran did not hesitate to repeat his role for the penultimate time in the fifth and final installment of this period series that was so acclaimed by its viewers.
However, to finally wrap up this story, this Netflix and BBC drama is fully set to close Uhtred’s adventures forever with one last movie. However, while the preparations and filming of this feature film are carried out, the actor Alexander Dreymon did not hesitate to pay tribute to one of the cast members.
In addition to the plot and production of The Last Kingdom, Alexander Dreymon claimed that this show’s fame is in part due to one of the cast members, specifically set magician Dominic Hyman, for his skillful work in bringing the film to life. medieval tv epic
In the fifth installment, Uhtred of Bebbanburg was finally seen as Lord of Northumbria, which is why many have been pleased with how this story full of wars and action was carried out. But, as Alexander Dreymon pointed out, Dominic’s work was a key part of making the Saxon drama feel authentic and detailed, thanks to his costumes and art design.
In his interview, Alexander Dreymon revealed that in addition to performing as Uhtred, he was also behind the scenes gaining experience in his professional acting career. He was part of the preparation of the scenarios and was delighted by the professional work that was done in terms of the details of them, so were his words:
“This season, having been behind the camera and being a part of all the preparation, I really witnessed how much work went into these sets and how much attention to detail there is. And how each setting is built around a character, how much thought is behind it, ‘How would this character decorate his living space? What’s the vibe of him? And why is that so?’”
Relatively, the fifth season finale was fans’ discovery of how Uhtred would fulfill his wish to reclaim Bebbanburg. All the settings were really impressive, giving the impression of living in medieval times.
“All of that emanates from Dominic, our set designer. I am so inspired by him. He was very generous with his ideas and very enthusiastic about the ideas that I presented. Things that I thought, well, that’s never going to happen, it’s asking too much.”
In his account, Alexander Dreymon confessed that Dominic didn’t mind when he took ideas from the cast as he continued to work to bring The Last Kingdom’s vibe to life on screen. In addition, he stressed that each of the members in charge work as “magic elves” thanks to their skill and speed in the construction of these spaces. | https://www.somagnews.com/the-last-kingdom-alexander-dreymon-paid-tribute-to-one-of-the-cast-members/ | 2022-04-01T01:40:13Z |

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal appeals court has granted a request from a northern Virginia school system to continue using a challenged admissions policy at a highly selective high school while it appeals a ruling that found the policy discriminates against Asian American students.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a ruling Thursday that Fairfax County Public Schools can continue to use its new admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.
U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton rejected the new policy in a February ruling, saying that impermissible “racial balancing” was at its core. Commonly known as “TJ,” the prestigious school near the nation’s capital is often ranked as one of the best public high schools in the country.
Earlier this month, Hilton also rejected a request from the school system to delay the implementation of his ruling. But the 4th Circuit, in a 3-2 ruling, said the school board had met the legal requirements for a suspension of Hilton’s order while its appeal is pending.
The 4th Circuit panel agreed with school officials who argued that because the selection process for the incoming freshman class is well underway, implementing Hilton’s ruling now would throw the process into chaos.
Judge Toby Heytens wrote that he has “grave doubts” about Hilton’s conclusions “regarding both disparate impact and discriminatory purpose” of the new admissions policy.
“In my view, appellant Fairfax County School Board is likely to succeed in its appeal,” Heytens wrote.
In a dissenting opinion, Judge Allison Jones Rushing said putting Hilton’s ruling on hold while the school board appeals his decision is not in the public interest. Jones said any logistical difficulties or inconvenience associated with changing the admissions policy at this late date “simply do not outweigh the infringement of constitutional rights.”
“And everyone — even temporarily frustrated applicants and their families — ultimately benefits from a public-school admissions process not tainted by unconstitutional discrimination,” Rushing wrote.
The case has been closely watched as courts continue to evaluate the role that racial considerations can play when deciding who should be admitted to a particular school. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a similar case alleging that Harvard University discriminates against Asian Americans in its admissions process.
Fairfield County Public Schools said the order from the 4th Circuit allows the school board to continue with the current application process to select the Class of 2026 this spring.
“For the 2,500+ students in this application pool, this means the race blind process set out by the School Board in October 2020 will remain in place as an appeal challenging the February court decision plays out,” the board said in a news release.
The parents’ group Coalition for TJ, which filed the lawsuit, said the 4th Circuit judges have made a “grave error” in allowing the school system to continue to use its new admissions process.
“If the judges’ decision stands, we would see Fairfax County Public Schools usher in a second class of students to America’s No. 1 public high school through an unconstitutional race-based admissions process,” the coalition said in a statement.
For decades, Black and Hispanic students have been woefully underrepresented in the student body. After criticism over its lack of diversity, the school board scrapped a standardized test that had been at the heart of the admissions process and opted instead for a process that sets aside slots at each of the county’s middle schools. It also includes “experience factors” like socioeconomic background.
The parents’ group argued in its lawsuit that Asian Americans, who constituted more than 70% of the student body, were unfairly targeted in the new policy.

On March 25, U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers (KY-05) joined state and local officials for a groundbreaking ceremony at the Mine Made Adventure Park in Knott County to add a multi-purpose building, campground sites and cabins.
The 60,000-acre park, developed by former surface mining, now interconnects off-road trails from Knott County to Breathitt, Floyd, Magoffin and Perry counties.
Congressman Rogers said this was another example of counties working together and sharing resources to be better.
“It is a region working together to improve itself,” said Rogers. "This project is about so much more than a park and a multi-purpose building – this is about having a place to make memories with your family and friends – and it’s about honoring the strong legacy of our coal mining heritage," he said. "I applaud Knott County Judge-Executive Jeff Dobson for his perseverance and his ability to work across county lines to connect our communities and boost our tourism economy."
The adventure park features ATV trails, horseback riding, hiking trails, as well as primitive and modern campsites. This, said Knott County Judge-Executive Jeff Dobson, is a great opportunity to bring money into the region through tourism.
"The park is already generating hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, not only impacting tourism in Knott County, but our neighboring counties too. We love giving families and friends a safe place to explore the outdoors and unwind in our beautiful mountains," said Dobson. "We have the infrastructure in place, paving the way for this new multi-purpose building and more camping options.”
In 2019, the park was awarded a $1.7 million grant through the Abandoned Mine Lands Pilot Program, which is now an annual program called the Abandoned Mine Lands Economic Revitalization Program (AMLER).
Congressman Rogers created the federal program in 2016 with support from Sen. Mitch McConnell to revitalize coal-producing communities hardest-hit by the downturn of the coal industry. “Eastern Kentucky stays with me. We’ve gone through a lot,” said Rogers, explaining that the region lost the timber industry, then the tobacco industry and then the coal industry.
“We always bounced back,” Rogers said.
Over the last seven years, Rogers said, Congress has invested $575 million across six coal mining states with $165 million directly for Kentucky, fueling 63 projects in 23 counties in southern and eastern Kentucky. “Over the last seven years under this program, the federal Abandoned Mine Lands program, the Congress has invested $575 million, with $165 million of that coming directly to Kentucky,” said Rogers. This year, he said, another $25 million will be used to continue the project.
The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet administers the grant program with approved projects from the Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation and Enforcement.
"We congratulate Mine Made Adventures for taking this initiative,” said Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman. “It’s remarkable to watch our local entrepreneurs, who consider these hills home and take ownership in ensuring the future vitality of the region, develop significant revitalization projects that will impact this area for generations.
“I think we’ve worked really hard the last couple of years to select projects that would get money out into the communities,” Goodman said. “This is just a wonderful project.”
