NEW YORK (AP) — More than 4 in 10 U.S. high school students said they felt persistently sad or hopeless during the pandemic, according to government findings released Thursday.
Several medical groups have warned that pandemic isolation from school closures and lack of social gatherings has taken a toll on young people’s mental health.
“This really gives us the evidence to say with certainty that the pandemic was incredibly disruptive for young people and their families,” said Kathleen Ethier of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The reports are based on anonymous online surveys of about 7,700 public and private high school students from 128 schools during the first six months of 2021. It is based on a similar survey the CDC conducts every other year in schools,
Among the findings:
—44% reported feeling persistently sad of hopeless during the past year. A similar survey before COVID-19 hit put the figure at 37%.
—66% said they found it more difficult to complete their schoolwork.
—29% said a parent or other adult in their home lost a job and 11% said they experienced physical abuse by a parent or other adult at home.
—24% said they went hungry during the pandemic because there was not enough food at home.
There likely was some underreporting, especially for certain questions about emotional or physical abuse in the home. Teens might be afraid that an abusive parent or other adult might see their responses, said Ilan Cerna-Turoff, a Columbia University researcher who studies children’s mental health.
CDC officials said that the pandemic did not affect teens equally. LGBT youth reported poorer mental health and more suicide attempts than others. About 75% said they suffered emotional abuse in the home and 20% reported physical abuse. By comparison, half of heterosexual students reported emotional abuse and 10% reported physical abuse, the CDC said.

Known in the music industry as much more than “just a girl from Dyckman,” as she teased on her Instagram, Baroline Diaz is a widely respected figure in the music industry. From being the youngest female executive on the cover of XXL’s Hip-Hop Heavyweights issue to her outstanding work with artists such as Babyface Ray, DaBaby, and MoneyBagg Yo, Diaz has broken many industry molds at just the age of 27 years old. Now, Diaz is stepping into her fashion bag with the launch of her first clothing line in collaboration with Good American’s new initiative supporting emerging talent, Good Inc.
Diaz wrote passionately in an Instagram caption, “We wom[e]n have no LIMITATIONS to our Goals, Dreams & Aspirations. I will be a representative for all that is possible for my young girls from the Hood.” While the collection is slated to drop today, March 31st, fans of Baroline and the Good American brand were able to join the waitlist. In collaboration with Good Inc, Baroline will launch The B Project, which is described as “a new line that aims to empower women with fashion that affirms confidence, style, and a hustler’s spirit.”
The B Project includes six graphic-designed sweatshirts with pricing starting at $99. The collection features statements with messages meant to inspire and uplift women such as ‘Self Made Woman’ and ‘Female CEO’, fit for the iconic women across various industries featured in the premiere campaign. Women featured throughout the campaign include comedian Pretty Vee, President & CEO of Femme it Forward Heather Lowery, Owner & CEO of Milanodirouge Clothing Line Milan Rouge Harris, CEO of Topicals Olamide Olowe, and choreographer Tanisha Scott.
“Honestly, the idea to Good Inc was really about our commitment to champion inclusivity and representation in a business forum,” Good American CEO Emma Grede told ESSENCE. “What we want to do is empower the next generation of creatives and the next generation of businesses, but more than just in a way to produce products. It’s really about mentorship, shared resources, and exposure. What we really want to do is give everybody a platform to share their products through these capsule collections. More than that is to really lift them up and show them the way, how we work, and how they might be able to start their businesses.”
Grede, who is also featured in the campaign, expressed her excitement for not only the launch of the collection but working with Diaz, who she noted as a dear friend of hers. “I couldn’t be more happy that Baroline’s the first person that we’ve been able to do this with because she’s a personal friend and somebody that has such incredible energy and such amazing ideas,” she praised of Diaz.
Take a peek at our conversation with Diaz and Grede ahead of the collaboration launch about the inspiration, how the partnership came about, and how Diaz’s love for music is translated into her day-to-day style.
ESSENCE: Emma, what made Baroline the perfect collaborator for this project?
Emma Grede: It’s so interesting because the way we came together was through really me seeing what Baroline was trying to do herself and knowing that I could help. With any of these things, it is about finding where it’s mutually beneficial. With the idea of two people coming together, you don’t want it to be unevenly weighted. I knew that Baroline had something really special, but I also knew that we could really help her from a production and manufacturing point of view. I have the resources to actually pick up where she’s left off, and that’s what makes her a perfect partner – that we were really able to come to the table with something beyond just saying, “Hey, let us like sales and sweatshirts together.” It was much broader than that.
ESSENCE: Baroline, why did you decide to launch this collection towards the end of Women’s History Month?
Baroline Diaz: We have been working on it since October and I kept saying, “Women’s history month,” but I feel like Women’s History Month is the only time where you allow women to get acknowledged. It’s like every company just wants to acknowledge women this month. I feel like Women’s History Month is not a month thing; it’s all year round. It’s all about women and empowering the next set of women to be the next future executive bosses. I feel like this is the time to be a boss. I’ve seen an article recently that said, “the girl boss is dead,” and I’m like, no, it’s not. I don’t know who is messaging that, but it’s a time to get your own money, to be a boss, to be a leader. That’s what this campaign is about. I want to walk [into] a room and I want somebody to know who I am when I’m speaking because I get judged by my attitude or when I’m assertive. I want you to know who I am when you see me and me wearing it on my sweatshirt.
ESSENCE: What are some of your personal favorites from The B Project x Good Inc collaboration?
Diaz: My favorite piece is the ‘Self-Made Woman’ because that was the original piece. It was actually supposed to be in the back, and then when Emma wore it and walked around the office, everybody was like, “Man I like that sweater.” And I really like ‘Powerful Fucking Woman’ because I feel like I’m the definition of a powerful woman and I added the curse because I’m always cursing. Instead of the exact ‘fucking,’ we put a heart in the ‘U,’ but it’s a special collection. I remember me and my best friend were just talking about the day that I was like, “Yo, I want to have a sweatshirt that just says who I am when I walk in the room.” When we got the first order, I’m like, “This looks whack. Ain’t nobody buying this. I don’t want to sell this shit.”
I didn’t even really have the money to do it when I did it. I was just like, “Let me post this and see if people like it,” and then everybody started hitting me up about it. First, Emma commented on my post, which was like a mood board type of post, and she was like, “I’m going to buy all of these.” Then she DM’d me and she was like, “Can I sell these for you?” I’m like, “Hell yeah, you can, girl!” I swear to God, the next week we was there and she introduced me to Melissa, who I adore. She’s like a big sister now. They taught me about fabric, making fast decisions, stitching, and how things are supposed to look.
That’s amazing because they could have just been like, “We’re going to take your idea and this is what we’re going to do,” but they included me in everything and I feel like every single person at Good American is like my family now. I’m not even just boasting, I’ll do whatever they want me to because I could depend on them. What they took me into was like a mentorship. It was not like, “We’re going to take your idea” because sometimes these businesses do that. They take Black designers’ or young people’s ideas and they just steal them, but they were like, “No, we’re going to mentor you. We ‘re going to build the team around you.” It has been amazing. I don’t want to leave them. I’m about to go quit my job and work at Good American.`
ESSENCE: Tell me a bit about The B. Project and how it ties into the Good American collaboration.
Diaz: Melissa, who works at Good American, actually named it wrong on the paper and I was like, “That shit’s fire,” so then I just took it. I really want to make it an initiative to help young women like me because I really stand on being a young woman from the hood. I’m from New York, Washington Heights. I really could have been pregnant right now, being a mom having a bunch of kids. That’s the standard and stereotype things that they say about a woman from my neighborhood and in my culture, but I’ve beat it. I’ve always been a person of, “I’m going to get it. I’m going to be the greatest person I can [be]. I’m going to make decisions. I’m not going to take no for an answer.” I want to take young girls from those neighborhoods and teach them that there’s more to life than the stereotypical things that are said about us.
I want to get money and give it to girls that want to build programs. Let’s say it is $2,000 to two girls a year – something that can help them get mentorship and internships. I want it to make a big initiative of this. It’s not just about me. It’s about me creating the next Baroline, the next Emma, or the next woman that’s going to change the world. It was just an idea, but now it’s an initiative to help the next generation of girl bosses.
Grede: Honestly, that’s why we really love working with Baroline because she had such a big-picture idea. In the beginning, it looked like it was graphics and sweatshirts, but in the first meeting that we had with her, she spoke to us about what type of person she is, why this is so important for her, and why this is so important for her group – and that’s our customer. Our customer is a girl that has big ideas, that has big aspirations, big ambitions, and she wants to do well for herself. We feel like uplifting somebody like Baroline to do what she’s really capable of is really just showing girls out there that you can do it. The opportunities are we’re going to make the opportunities available for people, and we love the fact that Baroline is where this whole thing has started.
Diaz: Yeah, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Emma has a story of what she had to do in her struggles and I have a story. I feel like now in the society that we’re in with social media, you only see the amazing things. Nobody posts their struggles. Nobody posts how long it takes to get here. Emma did not become who she is overnight. I didn’t become who I am overnight, so I feel like it’s up to us to teach women, educate them on how you become a leader. It’s not about being a boss. It’s about being a leader and educating them. You want to have leadership, you want to have confidence. What’s right and what’s wrong, I feel like still to this day as an executive, I’m learning. I’m not perfect. I’m sure Emma could say that there are things that sometimes she’s not good at, or she may not do correctly, but she learns from it. I feel like we’re all learning everything. It’s up to us to help the next generation and I think that we’re going to make it happen. Emma, somebody that I trust, I could call her and say, “Hey, I got an idea,” and she’ll be there to support me.
ESSENCE: Why is it so important to continue to champion the voices of women – especially women of color and Black women – in music and fashion?
Diaz: From the music standpoint, it’s a male-dominated industry. When I walk into the studio, I’m always the only woman. I could be considered the hoe, the bitch, the side girl – never the boss. I’m the one that’s making the decisions, but people don’t know because of how my body is shaped and what I may wear. I want to make it so people know women are able to be producers, the artists, the president of the label – and not just the co-president. Now is the time to show that women dominate any field that they’re in.
I’m getting familiar with the fashion part, but in the music industry, I need more women involved. I need to see more producers, engineers, executives – we need to grow. I tell my artists all the time, “I want you to use this female engineer and you need to respect her when she walks in the room, she’s not a piece of…she’s a woman. You have to treat her like you would treat your daughter.” I’m all about women’s empowerment because I know how hard it is to be a woman and how hard it is to get respected. I really want to protect women and to make sure I empower them as much as possible.
Grede: Just to add to that, for Good American, it’s so important to continue to uplift Black women, women of color, and underrepresented female groups, especially because there are so few opportunities out there when it comes to funding to actually help women get their businesses off the ground. We know that Black women are starting more businesses than any other group out there and yet when it comes to a funding conversation, they are the least funded group. When we have an opportunity and a platform, where we’re actually able to have an impact to help people, that’s exactly what we should be doing. We really see it as more of just part of the fabric of what we do because we’re able to do it.
It’s just been the fact that it’s been so much fun with Baroline. It really was the most incredible day, but for me, it’s much bigger than that. If you can start something like this, you are giving people the opportunity to get out there, to raise awareness for them to actually utilize your own resources. With our massive community that we have and that helps Baroline have the resources that she needs to succeed, I don’t what can be much better than that? What story, what legacy be better?
ESSENCE: Baroline, how would you that your personal relationship with and love for music influence your day-to-day style?
Diaz: A little YSL, a little Nike – I ain’t no stylish girl but I know how to look fly. Over five females, like top presidents of labels, have hit me up [including] Ethiopia [Habtemariam], who’s one of the biggest at Motown. She said, “Baroline, I only wear Good American jeans.” LaTrice [Burnette], who’s the president at Def Jam Records, says she only wears Good American. The thing about Good American is that they fit everybody’s size. I’m a big girl and I got the booty and all of that and with Good Americans, they slide right in. We’re about to make it the official jean to the girl bosses in music ’cause everybody is telling me how much they love Good American.
ESSENCE: Emma, how would you say that Baroline’s relationship with music is reflected in the collection?
Grede: When you think about the campaign, I’m just going to be honest. We have nothing to do with it – all we did was show up and paid for it. Baroline put together an impressive group of women that you could imagine, from Pretty Vee to Heather Lowery to Tanisha Scott. There were so many incredible women in this campaign and that was all influenced by her time in the industry, from the people that loved her, the people that want to pay respect, and a march to what she’s doing. Everybody jumped on board. We’re always working with different talent in my businesses and you might have a little bit of pushback, but people just jumped on board. In the end, we had to limit our numbers ’cause how can we shoot like 17 women in one studio in one day?
That just says so much about a person, the goodwill that they’re cultivating through their career, and who they are. That to me just speaks so deeply, the fact that everyone wants to come out and support Baroline and be beside her, just speaks absolute volumes. I don’t know how many people can wrangle that type of crowd and then that type of energy. Baroline’s right – it was a really special moment. We were on set crying one minute, excited the next minute, sweating it like the whole thing was like the moment magical day. My teammates are literally like, “How do we work with Baroline forever and ever?” They never want us to leave the office.
Diaz: What’s crazy is that they say, “Women are catty. Women are bitches.” No, we get along. I swear to God, there was not one person that complained and everyone was so happy to be there. The messages that I received after people were crying were emotional. We’ve never been in something like that. It was a very powerful moment, it was amazing and hopefully, this could become something that we do yearly to empower women for Women’s History Month. | https://www.essence.com/fashion/baroline-diaz-good-american-exclusive/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:06Z |

Rent relief helped prevent more than 1 million evictions in 2021
The federal government's emergency rental assistance program helped prevent more than one million evictions last year.
An estimated 1.36 million renters avoided an eviction filing in 2021 as a result of the government's unprecedented $46.5 billion rent relief program and other protections, according to a recent analysis by Princeton University's Eviction Lab published earlier this month.
Treasury officials reported Wednesday that $30 billion in emergency rent relief was spent or obligated by the end of February. Despite a slow and confusing initial roll out of the program last spring, more than 4.7 million payments were made to households since January 2021.
Treasury expects the remainder of the funds to be exhausted by the middle of this year.
Impact of the assistance
A national eviction ban was put in place in September 2020. While it did not stop all evictions, it significantly slowed the tide of eviction filings until the emergency aid could reach struggling renters and their landlords, White House and Department of Treasury officials said.
"We knew from the start that we faced a race with time to get the emergency rental assistance flowing to a significant degree by the time the national eviction moratorium was lifted," said Gene Sperling, the White House American Rescue Plan coordinator. "We largely won that race."
In the six states and 31 cities tracked by the Eviction Lab researchers, eviction filings fell sharply at the onset of the pandemic, but then increased in the later months of 2020 even with the ban in place. Given the increased number of renters experiencing economic hardship as the pandemic continued into 2021, experts worried about a "tsunami" of evictions and anticipated the number of filings to skyrocket above levels seen in 2019.
But the opposite happened. In a typical year, roughly 865,000 eviction cases were filed in the areas the Eviction Lab tracks. In 2021, roughly half as many evictions were filed, with 434,304 cases.
Evictions fell in all but one of the 31 cities tracked in 2021. The outlier was Las Vegas, where jobs in tourism evaporated, adversely impacting the large number of renters in the city's service sector, according to the report. New York City had the biggest reduction in eviction filings from typical levels, with the report estimating nearly 184,000 eviction cases were avoided in New York City.

The emergency rental assistance was found to have a strong impact on the low-income and majority-Black neighborhoods that see a disproportionate share of eviction cases. Those areas experienced the largest absolute reduction in eviction filings last year, the Eviction Lab report found.
The report found that in 2021 the most disadvantaged neighborhoods experienced the biggest gains in terms of rental housing stability. But it also found that, among the eviction cases filed, women of color were disproportionately affected.
More than 80% of emergency rental assistance reached the lowest income households, according to the Treasury, with about 40% of all applicants who received assistance self-identifying as Black, and about 20% self-identifying as Latino.
Moving remaining money
The federal emergency rent relief was approved in two rounds of funding. The first, which included $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act at the end of 2020, and $21.55 billion under the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021.
Some state and local governments have exhausted allotted funds while others have not distributed everything they have received. As a result, Treasury has been reallocating money to ensure it gets to renters most in need.
Of the $25 billion in the first batch of money, Treasury has already moved $2 billion in underused funds. Beginning in April, funds from the second batch will be reallocated.
This process has "allowed dollars to flow to places with high need," said Noel Poyo, Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Economic Development. "Generally reallocated funds went to higher need areas with more diverse communities."
He said he expects that trend to continue with the available funds from the second batch of money.
But it is a challenging balance to strike, Poyo said, between getting dollars to places where they are running out of funds and making sure that money is still available in places where assistance may have gotten started more slowly and people remain in need.
Treasury is encouraging state and local governments to use the additional funding to assist more renters and make continued investments in housing stability.
"In just one year, the Emergency Rental Assistance program built a national infrastructure for eviction prevention that never existed before and has helped keep eviction rates well below historic averages throughout the pandemic," said Poyo.
He also suggested state and local governments build on the network for support they have established and provide services like housing counselors, "that will help families avoid economic scarring long after COVID-19 is in the rearview mirror," he said. | https://www.wjcl.com/article/rent-relief-prevent-million-evictions/39602016 | 2022-04-01T01:41:07Z |

Krishna Shroff on Tiger Shroff: 'Comparison with my superhero of a brother feels like winning at life'
Krishna Shroff comes from a family of celebs. Being Jackie Shroff's daughter and Tiger Shroff's sister, she has been in the limelight all her life. And while many expected her to follow in her brother's footsteps into the film world, Krishna chose to be an entrepreneur in the world of contact sports. In a chat with Hindustan Times, she speaks about her mixed martial arts promotion, the decision to not join films, and her bond with brother Tiger.

Unlike her father or her brother, Krishna has stayed away from Bollywood, despite admitting that she had offers at one time. Talking about why she chose not to enter films and look at mixed martial arts promotion as a career, she tells us, "I know what I want and don't want. It's as simple as that. That world--I'm so grateful for what it's given me and the platform it has provided for me to have a larger voice--but it's not something that ever resonated with me. I have been pretty clear that I want to wake up and do something I love every single day. If I don't love what I'm doing, I'll never give it 100%. And then I'll not be the best at it. For me, that's important."
She is in the capital to promote her MMA venture Matrix Fight Night, which is returning to India after a pandemic-induced break with MFN. Krishna admits that mixed martial arts isn't just business for her. "My family has been always into fitness and it's at the core of who I am. I have been following the sport for over a decade now. It's changed my life. As soon as I began following the sport and practising it a little bit for fitness purposes, it made me a better version of myself. As a woman, it's given me a new sense of security and confidence that I didn't have before," she says.
But as she understood the sport and what the athletes do, Krishna says it has also helped her appreciate what her brother Tiger Shroff does so often on screen. Tiger routinely uses martial arts in his films and is known to perform complex stunts and action sequences himself. Krishna says, "Understanding the sport better and being in close proximity to these athletes has really made me appreciate what my brother does. It's amazing to see how easy he makes these difficult things look. Growing up, seeing your brother do all these larger than life things and now gaining a better understanding of it is great. There's so much motivation in my household itself. I have no excuse to sit on my a** and not do anything to better myself every day."
Krishna says growing up, she faced a lot of mean comments about her appearance and people often unjustly comparing her to brother Tiger, who was--at that time too--quite into fitness. Talking about that criticism, Krishna shares, "I'm not going to lie, as a young teenager, all these opinions definitely impact you. But whereas a lot of people can take it in a very negative stride, I actually used it as fuel, and as motivation to do something better. I'll never take those comparisons is a negative light. I'll use it to push myself."
And she adds that any comparison with Tiger--in whatever form--is a compliment in itself. "Any comparison with my superhero of a brother is a win in its own right. So, if you are putting me in the same sentence as him, I feel like I'm doing something right. I am winning at life right then and there," she says with a laugh. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/krishna-shroff-on-tiger-shroff-comparison-with-my-superhero-of-a-brother-feels-like-winning-at-life-101648750169698-amp.html | 2022-04-01T01:41:09Z |

SITUATION OVERVIEW
The Statement by the Secretary-General - on Syria | United Nations Secretary-General
WHO launched the Global Health Emergency Appeal for 2022. The appeal for US$2.7 billion represents financial requirements for WHO in 2022 to cover all 6 Regions (Syria included), and country-level emergency response operations, including for COVID-19. Syria is featured on page 123. Please access the report here. Appeal video is here.
On March 29, 2022, at 3.45 pm, at Mahjeh town in the countryside of Dar’a, a local doctor working in Al Yasmeen Community Medical Center (private clinic) was killed as a result of direct car explosion. A flash update was issued.
On 28 March 2022 (21.30 local time), a gunfire exchange has taken place in Phase 4 and Phase 5 of Al-Hol camp followed by explosions. The security campaign that was initiated by SDF security forces on 16 March was extended till 31 March. Immediately after the incident, a lockdown has been imposed in Al-Hol camp. The number of injured and death cases were being clarified. As informed by OCHA, humanitarian activities – including life-saving activities – were suspended except for bread distribution as communicated by the Camp Administration.
WHO Syria and Regional Office launched an infographic on the 11th anniversary of the crisis. More information on WHO’s support to people in Syria is reflected in http://www.emro.who.int/media/news/crisis-in-syria-11-years-onhealth-needs-still-urgent.html.
The complete Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) for 2022-23 will be published in the near future, following consultations with the Government of Syria. In the meantime, Planned Response Summary (PRS) has been prepared for circulation ahead of the upcoming Senior Officials Meeting on Syria (on 1 April). The Planned Response Summary outlines the strategic and operational approaches to be taken by humanitarian partners across Syria in addressing needs, as highlighted in the 2022 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) for Syria (published in February 2022). The plan covers two years and seeks $4.4bn during 2022, to provide life-saving assistance to 11.8 million Syrians, from among the 14.6 million people in need. An overview of ‘Critical Humanitarian Funding Gaps’, as a complement to the Planned Response Summary, was prepared. This product describes some of the key components of the response, for which funding simply cannot wait – presented in both quantitative and qualitative form. It highlights critical gaps that need to be funded immediately, to allow the response to be sustained from now to August 2022. | https://reliefweb.int/report/syrian-arab-republic/health-sector-syria-health-sector-bulletin-march-2022 | 2022-04-01T01:41:09Z |

Cryptocurrency markets have turned red again and Bitcoin slumped below the $46,000 level. However, this altcoin has crossed an important threshold despite the decline in the market. The amount invested in Terra (LUNA)’s Anchor Protocol, which is also the trigger of the latest rise in cryptocurrencies, has reached a new record.
Terra News
It is a multi-chain DeFi ecosystem on Anchor Protocol (ANC), Terra (LUNA) and Avalanche (AVAX). Of all the popular mainstream DeFis, Anchor offers the highest returns on stablecoin deposits. Exactly for this reason, the increasing need for UST has been the driving force in the LUNA price.
Famous blockchain entrepreneur Do Kwon, the founder and CEO of Terraform Labs, the firm behind Terra (LUNA) and the UST stablecoin, announced another amazing milestone for his ecosystem via his social media account. Terra’s flagship DeFi product, Anchor Protocol (responsible for 51.8% of the total volume locked into Terra-based DeFis), has more than $12 billion in Terra USD (UST) deposits.
Terra (Luna)
Invested by 226,000 Terra users, this figure surpasses the combined TVL of Avalanche (AVAX), Polygon and Fantom DeFi ecosystems. Anchor provides a 19.5% annual return on investments made in UST. So far, this rate has no rival among reliable smart contract platforms.
The Terra (LUNA) platform has been on the agenda for a long time due to an aggressive Bitcoin (BTC) buying strategy. If they achieve their goal of 10 billion dollars, they can put their names on the top as the largest institutional investor.
LUNA has not lost the $100 zone despite the recent drop, while the RSI has relaxed into the neutral zone. If the $92 level is not lost in the short term, a new rally to $156 could start. Strong support levels are at $87 and $75. In the worst-case scenario, LUNA will hold onto the $43 support. If Bitcoin exceeds $ 48,000 again, the levels of $ 118 and $ 156 can be seen, respectively. | https://www.somagnews.com/this-altcoin-has-crossed-an-important-threshold/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:11Z |
While many of us may simply wish to attend an Oscars After-Party, the chance to attend one hosted by Jay-Z and Beyoncé is undoubtedly on our wish list.
Queen Beyoncé, on the other hand, was kind enough to show us some after-party couture, and it was a dream come true. Take a look at this:
The Oscar nominee posed for the camera in a sheer silk tulle dress designed by Celia Kritharioti Couture, revealing it in signature Bey style, via a curated Instagram carousel dump. The embroidered floor-length gown precisely caressed every contour. Styled by longtime collaborater, Marni Senofonte, the look was completed with a Judith Leiber crystal purse, fishnet stockings, and Gianvito Rossi heels.
To add to the decadence of the overall look, she wore a reimagined archival Tiffany & Co. necklace, featuring over 175 karats of diamonds, giving “I rock diamonds on my neck, got diamonds on my records” to the max.
The Kritharioti gown follows her magnificent custom, yellow Valentino gown, which she wore to the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony.
Needless to say, Queen Bey was at the very top of the Best Dressed list! | https://www.essence.com/fashion/beyonce-sheer-gown-following-the-oscars/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:12Z |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Military bases with a high risk for sexual assault, harassment and other harmful behaviors often have leaders who don’t understand violence prevention, don’t make it a priority and focus more on their mission than on their people, a Pentagon review has concluded.
The review studied 20 bases in the United States and Europe, including 18 with some of the more severe problems identified in command climate surveys. It found that the failures were worse in a number of bases in Germany and Spain where key leaders and resources weren’t on site. The report was publicly released Thursday.
At Naval Station Rota in Spain, for example, the report said that the military mission requirements “were prioritized above and at the expense of the sailors’ well-being.” They said sailors reported bullying, mental health issues, sexual harassment and relationship problems, but often could not seek help due to their mission requirements.
In one location, officials said, they found that young enlisted men were taking steps to help their female peers stay safe by keeping them away from more senior leaders who were harassing them.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the report as part of his effort to strengthen sexual assault and harassment prevention across the forces, identify what programs work and ensure high-risk bases get attention quickly. Austin approved the report, and in a memo said it will help the department tailor improvements for bases where needs may vary.
“While we have made progress, we must do more to strengthen the integrated capabilities we have on the ground to prevent sexual assault, harassment, suicide, domestic abuse and other harmful behaviors,” he said.
The report comes nearly two years after Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén went missing from Fort Hood, Texas, and her remains were found two months later. Guillen was killed by a soldier, who her family says sexually harassed her, and who killed himself as police sought to arrest him.
Her death and a number of other crimes, murders and suicides led to heightened scrutiny on assaults and other violence in the military, and to a series of reviews. An independent panel appointed by Austin last year made more than 80 recommendations, including specific changes to improve accountability of leadership, command climate and culture, and victim care and support.
Officials said Austin’s goal is to find effective ways to prevent harmful behavior, which includes sexual assault and harassment, suicides and domestic violence. They said this latest report is designed to pinpoint which leadership and other failures contribute to higher instances of such behavior and which prevention programs and other changes actually work.
According to the report, 16 of the bases were selected because a command climate survey of nearly a million personnel identified problems there, which included things such as binge drinking, toxic leadership, stress, and racial or sexual harassment. While serious problems were identified at these 16 bases, the report looked at a variety of factors for each location and doesn’t specifically characterize them as the worst in the military.
Two other bases were chosen because the survey showed good results, such as high morale, inclusion and good leadership. Two others had a mix of both high-performing and problem units.
Defense officials said that while in many cases leaders had a genuine desire to prevent violence, there was a “pervasive” misunderstanding of how to do it and they often didn’t devote enough personnel or time for it or hold subordinates accountable.
And even if they understood department policies, leaders often didn’t recognize when there was a high risk for violence or harmful behavior among their people.
In the United States, the bases surveyed were: Fort Custer, Michigan; Naval Support Activity Sarasota Springs, New York; Fort Polk, Louisiana; Fort Bliss, Texas; Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia; Marine Corps Base Hawaii; Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California; Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas; Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California; Dyess Air Force Base, Texas; Vandenberg Space Force Base, California; the Kentucky National Guard; and the Army Reserve base in Fraser, Michigan.
The last two — the Guard and Reserve bases in Kentucky and Michigan — were the ones chosen because they had less risk and more positive command climates.
The overseas bases were: Army Garrison Ansbach, Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfatz Smith Bararcks; Army Garrison Bavaria; Naval Station Rota; Army Garrison Stuttgart; and the Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz, Kaiserslautern. All but Rota are in Germany.
As an example, the report found that at the Kentucky National Guard base leaders believed that their soldiers came first, and their “well-being was part of the mission, not an adjacent effort that was secondary.” In contrast, commanders in at the bases in Germany and Spain “tolerated harmful behaviors” and it was difficult to access resources “due to mission requirements or geographic dispersion of services.”
The report said that the changes proposed by the independent review board will help address the problems. Those improvements include establishing a dedicated prevention workforce, expanded sexual assault prevention and response programs, and better leadership. The budget for 2023 includes funding to hire additional personnel.
The report also recommends that the department establish data to help the military services share prevention and program support information, hold leaders accountable if they don’t have healthy command climates. Officials said it’s important to ensure that leaders better understand the prevention policies and programs and that service members and employees know where to go to get help.
Officials also said that there will be follow-up visits to the bases by this fall, and that similar site visits and reviews will be done every two years.
Austin is asking military service leaders for implementation plans by early June and said the department will issue more guidelines and policies by early October. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/health-2/ap-health/pentagon-links-leadership-failures-to-violence-at-bases/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:11Z |
“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Believe it or not, that was basically what the church of the city of Corinth told the Apostle Paul in the spring of A.D. 56. This was tragic because this was a church that Paul himself had founded just six years earlier. What got them to that point? Basically, Paul called some of the members out on sexual sin that was going unchecked in the church, and in multiple ways, they did not respond well. He visited them, they rejected him, and they sent him on his way. He wrote them a letter confronting this sin once again in love. And this time, he had to wait to find out what happened. His co-worker, Titus, had been sent to ascertain how the church was doing and was supposed to meet Paul in the city of Troas. But when Paul arrived in Troas, Titus wasn’t there (Acts 20; 2 Corinthians 2). | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556711940752/meribell-varghese-is-a-proprietor-of-positivity-in-her-day-to-day-human-connections | 2022-04-01T01:41:12Z |

A pair of Brittney Griner's USA Basketball teammates are speaking out about the WNBA star being arrested and detained in Russia. Griner was detained in February after Russian Federal Customs Service claimed they discovered vape cartridges containing the marijuana concentrate hashish oil in her luggage.
Griner has been forced to stay in Russia since, and the charges against her have a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. On Wednesday, two of the highest profile professional women's basketball players in the world broke their silence regarding Griner's situation.
"People are saying she's 6-foot-9, she's different. It's really not about that. It could have been any of us," McCoughtry told the AP.
Stewart explained that one of the deeper issues is that Griner and other women -- including herself -- feel the need to go play professional basketball in Russia because players traditionally make more money there than in America.
"The big thing is the fact that we have to go over there. It was BG, but it could have been anybody," Stewart said. "WNBA players need to be valued in their country and they won't have to play overseas."
She added that, while Griner is detained, Stewart is making an effort to help a charity Griner supports, The Phoenix Rescue Mission. It aids people who are struggling with drug addiction and addiction.
A U.S. Embassy official was granted "consular access" to Griner earlier in March and found her to be in "good condition." According to a report from Russian state news agency TASS a Moscow court has extended her detention until at least May 19. | https://www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/brittney-griner-detained-in-russia-brianna-stewart-angel-mccoughtry-break-silence-on-situation/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:14Z |

Could a one-punch, first-round knockout loss be a good thing for a fighter? In Erickson Lubin’s case, maybe so.
Lubin had just turned 22 years old when he lasted only 2 minutes, 41 seconds against 154-pound titleholder Jermell Charlo in October 2017, the result of a crushing right hand from which he couldn’t recover.
Four-plus years later he’s not only a step away from his second opportunity to fight for a major belt – perhaps against the winner of Charlo-Brian Castano II – but he also has earned added respect for his ability to bounce back from disaster.
“I’m the poster child for all the young guys facing adversity, how to come back from a loss,” said Lubin, who is scheduled to face Sebastian Fundora in a title eliminator on April 9 in Las Vegas (Showtime).
Lubin (24-1, 17 KOs) said the loss had no impact on his confidence in spite of its brutal nature. “Never,” he said when asked whether his belief in himself wavered.
The setback also hardened his focus on his boxing career, he said. He understood better than ever the sacrifices he would have to make to become a world champion. That included moving his camp from his native Orlando to West Palm Beach, Florida, where trainer Kevin Cunningham has refined his all-around game.
The results make that clear. He’s 6-0 since the loss, including impressive victories over big-time opponents Ishe Smith, Nathaniel Gallimore, Terrell Gausha and, most recently, former titleholder Jeison Rosario.
That’s why the worst night of his career might’ve been a boon in the long run.
“Honestly, it might’ve been a blessing in disguise,” he said. “People have told me that. And it’s growing on him a little bit. It was a lesson learned that changed my life. … It made me change things up. To be the best, you gotta make sacrifices. That’s what I did.
“I moved away from my hometown, got a new trainer. That’s why I’m here today, No. 1 in the WBC and basically No. 1 in the division.”
Of course, some observers with long memories will continue to doubt Lubin.
Once a fighter suffers the fate he did against Charlo many wonder whether it will happen again. Lubin recognizes that. All he can do is continue to win and ultimately get that title belt wrapped around his waist, which is all that matters.
“Certain people still got things to say, still doubt me,” he said. “I’m going to continue to prove myself inside the ring. If they doubt me, so be it. I believe in what I have going on. My job is to go in the ring and take care of business every time out.
“Once you prove yourself, you have to prove yourself again and again and again. That’s how boxing works.” | https://boxingjunkie.usatoday.com/2022/03/erickson-lubin-used-ko-loss-to-jermell-charlo-as-fuel-to-soar | 2022-04-01T01:41:14Z |

LITTLE ELM, Texas — Brittany Corrington started noticing her daughter, Raegan, losing hair when she was 7 years old. She said she noticed the part in Raegan's hair was starting to grow wider.
It took multiple doctor visits before she was diagnosed with alopecia a few months later.
“With alopecia, it’s so different for everybody and there’s no cure," Brittany Corrington said. "They don’t even know why it happens.”
Raegan, now 10, said she had never heard of the condition until her mom told her about it and she kept losing hair.
"I was like, 'Okay, I guess we're doing this,'" Raegan Corrington said.
"I believe you have to teach your children to deal with issues head on," Brittany Corrington said. “I can’t fix it, but I can give her the tools to go out in the world and be the best that she can be, whatever that looks like.”
For a while that looked like working with a non-profit that makes wigs for kids. The problem was that the wigs were expensive, took months to make and weren't the ideal look or fit.
“Sometimes it would be a little too big and it would have, like, a bump, and I could push down on it," Raegan Corrington said.
Last fall, Brittany Corrington's friend connected her with Anjel Coleman, a stylist with a salon just a few miles from Corrington's home. Coleman, who owns Anjelic Artistry Beautique, makes custom wigs.
"I got a call and she said, 'I have a girlfriend. She has a daughter. She's so sweet. She has alopecia, and the wig she wears is not good.' So, I said okay," Coleman said.
Coleman admits she was nervous because she'd never made a wig for a child, but she did it.
She posted a reel of the transformation on her Instagram and received an outpouring of love and support.
"You could tell she was a little shy and just in her little shell," Coleman said. "Baby, when I put that wig on, she was a whole little diva. It made me feel so good."
The wig is blonde, with a middle part.
"It's really natural," Raegan said. "I think the color really fits me."
Like all great wigs, Raegan's has a name. Jessica.
However, even though she likes the new more-natural look, she won't necessarily wear it all the time. The past three years have taught her to love herself, in all forms.
"Sometimes I like it without it better," Raegan Corrington said. "It just feels like who I am...my face is still the same. It's not like I changed at all. There's just not hair on my head."
For her mother, finding a good wig was a win.
“Whenever we can get over a hurdle of now we’re just a normal kid, it’s the best," Brittany Corrington said.
However, her daughter's view of herself, her condition and the world is the bigger victory.
"I'm very proud of her," Brittany Corrington said.
With just a decade of life under her belt, Raegan Corrington has learned a lesson most people search for their whole lives.
"I always have confidence in myself," she said.
Her foundation is built on a loving family, her passion for painting and creating art and her faith.
“That’s one thing we’ve talked about before," Brittany Corrington said. "'God’s working through you. He’s going to use you to reach people. He’s going to use you to reach out to the world and make a difference.' He’s absolutely doing that with her."
She didn't choose to have alopecia, but she's chosen to shine through it. She has the choice of new, fabulous wig for when she wants it. Either way, Raegan Corrington knows how to choose herself and love others along the way. | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/local/10-year-old-little-elm-girl-refuses-to-let-alopecia-kill-her-confidence/287-f6dd0d7c-ce78-48f9-ba1f-a8657f26c40e | 2022-04-01T01:41:14Z |
# The Sweet One (Gordon Merrick)\nAlbert Eintejie - a noveli by William A. Corns.\n# Chapter1. THE WHO AND THE WHOW THESAME CY CLEBABLE, TIE\nSITCIOUS COOL I THO SEMENOVENGYESE THS\nNINE IN THE TIEN YMU THE IA FL YM STA F WYOMING, Mich. — As families prepare for their spring break trips, local police hope their to-do list includes a call to their departments.
“Home break-ins can be a crime of opportunity,” said Capt. Tim Pols with the Wyoming Department of Public Safety. “When people are aware that others are away, that can provide the opportunity for someone to break into a home.”
Pols explains each year during popular travel times, like spring break, Wyoming police often see an uptick in reported burglaries.
As a result, the department started a year-round program in which people can request cadets who go to their houses or apartments while they’re away.
“They’ll [the cadets] stop by your home at various times and just check to see that the home is okay,” said Pols. “They’ll walk around if they’re able to get into the backyard, check the area, make sure nothing is out of place or obviously suspicious.”
If a cadet spots something wrong, an officer is brought out and handles the case from there.
The service is provided free of charge.

- Kent County Sheriff’s Office — Click here.
- Grand Rapids Police Department (Applications must be filled out 7 calendar days prior) — Click here.
- Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office — Click here.
- Holland Department of Public Safety — Click here.
- Muskegon County Sheriff’s Office — Click here.
- Muskegon Heights Police Department — Call (231) 733-8900.
“Who wants to come home from a vacation and discover that kind of circumstance?” asked Michelle LaJoye-Young, Kent County sheriff. “It would be better to be prepared for it and have resources lined up.”
LaJoye-Young says in addition to helping homeowners, it allows police to prevent or better solve crimes.
“We absolutely have had circumstances where somebody’s house was broken in to while they were gone and it was discovered by our house-check services,” said LaJoye-Young. “It’s better that we know that as close to the time that it happens as possible because it’s often related to other incidents.”
Other steps police recommend taking before leaving for a trip include:
- Locking doors and windows.
- Removing hidden keys.
- Limiting social media posts that show you away from home.
- Utilizing timed lights, other home surveillance technology, like Ring cameras.
- Asking other family members and friends to check in on your home too.
- Stopping mail services.
“Your home is one of your safe places and where we want you to feel safe,” said Pols. “Having your home broken in to, whether you’re there or not, is a big deal, so if there are steps that we can take as the police and the department of public safety, we definitely want to assist our citizens in that way.”

Krishna Shroff on Tiger Shroff: 'Comparison with my superhero of a brother feels like winning at life'
- Krishna Shroff, daughter of actor Jackie Shroff and sister of Tiger Shroff, talks about why she chose not to enter the ‘family business’, comparisons with her brother, and her passion project- mixed martial arts.
Krishna Shroff comes from a family of celebs. Being Jackie Shroff's daughter and Tiger Shroff's sister, she has been in the limelight all her life. And while many expected her to follow in her brother's footsteps into the film world, Krishna chose to be an entrepreneur in the world of contact sports. In a chat with Hindustan Times, she speaks about her mixed martial arts promotion, the decision to not join films, and her bond with brother Tiger.

Unlike her father or her brother, Krishna has stayed away from Bollywood, despite admitting that she had offers at one time. Talking about why she chose not to enter films and look at mixed martial arts promotion as a career, she tells us, "I know what I want and don't want. It's as simple as that. That world--I'm so grateful for what it's given me and the platform it has provided for me to have a larger voice--but it's not something that ever resonated with me. I have been pretty clear that I want to wake up and do something I love every single day. If I don't love what I'm doing, I'll never give it 100%. And then I'll not be the best at it. For me, that's important."
She is in the capital to promote her MMA venture Matrix Fight Night, which is returning to India after a pandemic-induced break with MFN. Krishna admits that mixed martial arts isn't just business for her. "My family has been always into fitness and it's at the core of who I am. I have been following the sport for over a decade now. It's changed my life. As soon as I began following the sport and practising it a little bit for fitness purposes, it made me a better version of myself. As a woman, it's given me a new sense of security and confidence that I didn't have before," she says.
But as she understood the sport and what the athletes do, Krishna says it has also helped her appreciate what her brother Tiger Shroff does so often on screen. Tiger routinely uses martial arts in his films and is known to perform complex stunts and action sequences himself. Krishna says, "Understanding the sport better and being in close proximity to these athletes has really made me appreciate what my brother does. It's amazing to see how easy he makes these difficult things look. Growing up, seeing your brother do all these larger than life things and now gaining a better understanding of it is great. There's so much motivation in my household itself. I have no excuse to sit on my a** and not do anything to better myself every day."
Krishna says growing up, she faced a lot of mean comments about her appearance and people often unjustly comparing her to brother Tiger, who was--at that time too--quite into fitness. Talking about that criticism, Krishna shares, "I'm not going to lie, as a young teenager, all these opinions definitely impact you. But whereas a lot of people can take it in a very negative stride, I actually used it as fuel, and as motivation to do something better. I'll never take those comparisons is a negative light. I'll use it to push myself."
And she adds that any comparison with Tiger--in whatever form--is a compliment in itself. "Any comparison with my superhero of a brother is a win in its own right. So, if you are putting me in the same sentence as him, I feel like I'm doing something right. I am winning at life right then and there," she says with a laugh. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/krishna-shroff-on-tiger-shroff-comparison-with-my-superhero-of-a-brother-feels-like-winning-at-life-101648750169698.html | 2022-04-01T01:41:15Z |

Sandbox (SAND) has officially started cooperation with Mauer to raise $2 million for residents of Ukraine affected by the Russian invasion of the country. The impact of the announcement on the price of the metaverse coin was more than 10%.
10,000 Ukrainian flags will be sold as NFT in the Sandbox
In the recent announcement of Sandbox, a virtual gaming environment where users can create, control and sell gaming capabilities in the metaverse, a collaboration with Mauer was announced. The following statements were included in the published message:
Together with MAUER, we are now collecting donations for the war-torn civilians of Ukraine.
To help Mauer raise funds for Ukrainians in the amount of $2 million, Sandbox plans to sell 10,000 copies of Wave for Ukraine, the Ukrainian flag of NFT. The NFT will consist of a flagpole with a base, as shown above, and a waving Ukrainian flag. In the game, it stands at a height of 25 meters, and the flag stretches for about 8 meters. The price for NFT is set at $100.
The flags are currently available for purchase on the MAUER website. Thanks to the simple payment method presented on the MAUER website, flags can be made using both cards and cryptocurrency. To ensure maximum return on donations, all proceeds from this sale will be transferred to an approved charity organization by Ukrainian employees of MAUER.
Wave NFT will be released in April
At the end of April, any wallet that bought the original NFT on the MAUER website will be able to earn Wave with Ukraine NFT. Surprisingly, the country has expressed interest in issuing an NFT to support this cause.
According to the information that we, as Somanews, received from the MAUER website, Felipe Posada made a special statue openly to help the Ukrainian people. Up to 43,287,512 prints will be issued, one for each citizen of Ukraine. All profits will be transferred to Ukrainian organizations. 10% of the royalties will also be donated to charity when the product is sold. It is worth noting that Ukraine received a lot of help from the crypto community, which donated almost $ 70 million to the cause of the war-torn country.
The price of the Metaverse coin fluctuates by 10%
After the announcement of SAndboox, the price of SAND today fluctuated within 10%. At current levels, it has maintained its growth over the past 24 hours of about 2%, despite a market-wide drop. | https://www.somagnews.com/this-metaverse-coin-announces-a-new-partnership-the-price-has-jumped/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:17Z |
Imagine your day going like this: You’re at work and you have all of your shapewear underneath your business attire. Midday, let’s say around lunch, you get a notification from the group chat. “Let’s go to the club after work,” the message reads. For a second you panic — it’s going to be a long day and you won’t have time to go home and change. But then you remember that the slip dress you have on underneath can double as an evening midi, and suddenly, all is well with the world. However, after the party is the afterparty, and your crew comes up with the ambitious idea to end the night (or morning) at the beach. You don’t have a bathing suit in tow, but no worries, the comfortable and stylish thong that’s underneath can practically double as a bikini.
What I’m describing isn’t just a fantasy. And while maybe at one point in time the idea of shapewear that could take you from morning to morning was far-fetched, thanks to Lizzo and her debut shapewear brand Yitty, it’s quite the reality.
“Yitty is not what y’all think it is,” the “Juice” singer tells me of the brand name during a Zoom call from her home. As one of her most avid TikTok followers, the background proved quite familiar. “My brother couldn’t say Melissa [the singer’s name] when I was born. So he would say Mee-Yida. Everybody was like, ‘Is he saying Yitty?’ From that point forward, my late Auntie Carmen continued to call me that — so I’m doing this in her name. She was a beautiful curvacious woman and I wanted to honor her with this brand.”
Launching with three different categories in multiple different styles, Yitty has been in the works for nearly six years, long before the inception of the popular mainstream shapewear brands of today. “I got a lot of no’s along the way,” Lizzo, who’s been wearing shapewear since 12-years-old reveals. “It wasn’t popping and being checked for at all.”
The idea came from the dread she and her friends felt shopping for the category. “I remember going into a store to pick up some shapewear before a party,” she shares. “There were three colors — ivory, pitch black and pink. It wasn’t cute and the section was in disarray, which means people were looking for something they couldn’t find.”
Think of Yitty as the anti-shapewear, shapewear brand. Made in partnership with Fabletics, Lizzo, CEO, has worked diligently alongside the brand’s president, Kristen Dykstra, Fabletics’ former chief marketing officer, to ensure that each garment receives the utmost attention. The marriage of the minds resulted in silhouettes that boast an unmatched level of thought, comfort and style that other shapewear brands have yet to master. “I love that we have 6X, but also all the way to an XS,” Lizzo brags. “We design all of our styles for every size. We don’t just start on one size and then scale up or scale scale down — that way, every style that you see on the website is what you’re going to get.”
Yes, the Watch Out for the Big Grrrls star created Yitty with the curvy ladies in mind, but understands that women of all sizes are seeking out the same thing. “I’m here for the big girls,” she says. “But I wanted to create something for everybody because my friends are extra-small, my friends are mediums, my friends are larges and it’s hard for them to find things as well.”
With technologically-advanced textiles, varying compression levels and endless colorways and styles, Yitty has something for everyone. Wearing a cropped bandeau during our chat, Lizzo pointed out the grip bands on not only the top, but also the bottom. As a woman verging on a G cup, I was immediately sold, but that attention to detail spans each and every sku in the brand’s catalog, not just the bandeaus.
“Write your own story with your body,” Lizzo cencourages. “Do what makes you feel good, do what makes you feel comfortable — and if it’s uncomfortable, don’t wear it.”
When asked her favorites, the singer’s face was overcome with agony. “They’re all my babies!” she exclaimed. Yet and still, I continued to pry — to which Lizzo finally revealed that the convertible bandeau and leggings, which she describes as “the most comfortable leggings I’ve put on my life,” and “like butter,” are her top two.
The launch of Yitty explains why collaborations and endorsements for the star have been few and far between over the years. “I’ve turned down a lot of things because I was clearing the way for Yitty and clearing the way for my vision and my baby,” she says. “I believe I made the right decision, because I’m trying to bring something to the world that hasn’t been done. I’m trying to liberate women and liberate bodies so that we can really make decisions for how we wanna look, how we wanna feel and what is beautiful and feels good to us.”
Prices range from $14.95 to $69.95 and will be available on the brand’s website, Fabletics websites and stores, and at the Yitty pop-up in Los Angeles beginning April 12. | https://www.essence.com/fashion/lizzo-yitty-launch/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:18Z |
LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania police officer was killed and two others injured Thursday during a shooting that occurred while responding to a domestic disturbance call, Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello said.
Police officers went to a home in the city at about 3:30 p.m. for the disturbance call. Nearly an hour later gunfire broke out and officers radioed in they were hit, Capello said at a brief news conference.
All three officers were taken to hospitals. One of them has been pronounced dead. A second was in critical condition, but stable, and a third was in stable condition, Capello said.
“This is an extremely difficult moment for everyone,” Capello said.
The suspect, a 34-year-old man from Lebanon, was killed in the shooting, Lebanon Police Chief Todd Breiner said.
“As one can imagine, it's clearly a traumatic event,” Breiner said. “Our guys are strong, but we're human and we have families.”
The slain officer's name is being withheld pending notification of extended family members.
Police did not release further details. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/1-officer-killed-2-others-shot-in-Pennsylvania-17049870.php | 2022-04-01T01:41:18Z |

Humanitarian Situation Overview in Syria (HSOS): Greater Idleb Area, February 2022
Attachments
Introduction and Methodology
HSOS is a monthly assessment that provides comprehensive, multi-sectoral information about the humanitarian conditions and priority needs inside Syria. This factsheet presents a thematic review based on the HSOS assessment of the priority needs and humanitarian assistance, economic conditions, living conditions, access to basic services, COVID-19 situation, and the security and protection situation in the Greater Idleb area in Northwest Syria (NWS). Sector-specific indicator findings by location can be found on the HSOS dashboard.
The assessment is conducted using a key informant (KI) methodology at the community level. REACH enumerators are based inside Syria and interview three to six KIs per assessed location, either directly or remotely (via phone). KIs are chosen based on their communitylevel and sector-specific knowledge. This factsheet presents information gathered in 371 communities across the greater Idleb area. Data was collected between 6-22 February 2022 from 1,317 KIs (18% female). Unless specified by an endnote, all indicators refer to the situation in the 30 days prior to data collection. Findings are indicative rather than representative, and should not be generalized across the population and region. Findings that are calculated based on a subset of the community are indicated by the following footnote ♦, with each subset specified in the endnotes.
The complete monthly HSOS dataset is available on the REACH Resource Centre.
Key Highlights
In February, communities in Greater Idleb recovered from harsh winter conditions and continued to be impacted by economic deterioration, the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing insecurity. Extreme weather likely impacted shelter conditions for displaced populations. Furthermore, households struggled to meet basic needs, due to the continued rise in the prices of food and basic commodities. Finally, aid cuts to health services came with an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases.
The impact of extreme weather from previous months affected both residents and internally displaced peoples (IDPs) in Greater Idleb. Winterisation was one of the top reported priority needs for both IDPs and residents, for the third consecutive month. Months of extreme weather likely affected shelter conditions for IDPs, which likely explains why KIs in 51% of assessed communities reported shelter as one of the top priority need for IDPs, up from 48% in January. Heating fuel was in high need both among residents and IDPs, with lack of heating reported as a shelter inadequacy in more than half of the assessed communities. To cope with a lack of heating, communities engaged in negative coping mechanisms such as burning unsafe materials for heating.
Households' purchasing power continued to decrease due to rising prices. The value of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) items increased from 510,568 SYP in January to 528,226 SYP in February, driven primarily by its food and cooking fuel components. Connected, KIs in 85% of the assessed communities reported unaffordability as the primary barrier to accessing sufficient food. A little under a quarter of the assessed communities indicated food as the first priority need among IDPs.
Health services in Greater Idleb continued to be at risk following significant cuts to funding. The health sector in Greater Idleb lacks self-financing and depends on the support provided by international donors through humanitarian and international organisations operating in the region. Funding from a number of donors stopped in September 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fatigue with the decade-old Syrian war. In January support was cut off for 18 medical facilities that provide services to more than one and a half million persons.g While specialised health facilities are concentrated in a few locations across the region, the need to travel to access healthcare led to two main barriers: the high cost and lack of transportation means, reported by KIs in 84% and 69% of assessed communities, respectively. Cuts to health services followed an increase in numbers of COVID-19 cases in February. | https://reliefweb.int/report/syrian-arab-republic/humanitarian-situation-overview-syria-hsos-greater-idleb-area-february | 2022-04-01T01:41:19Z |
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — A 12-year-old student was shot and killed Thursday by another 12-year-old student inside their South Carolina middle school, authorities said.
The shooter was found hiding under a deck at a home not far from Tanglewood Middle School in Greenville about an hour after the shooting and was still armed, Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis said.
The boy is charged with murder, possession of a firearm at a school and possession of a weapon by someone under 18. He was taken to a juvenile prison in Columbia, Lewis said.
“He was hiding. He’s a young man, probably didn’t understand the consequences of what had just happened,” the sheriff said at a news conference. “I don’t think he knew what to do, honestly, except for to leave the school.”
The boys knew each other, but the sheriff said investigators are still trying to figure out what led to the shooting in a front part of the school and how the boy got the gun.
No one else was injured in the shooting.
The family of the boy killed released a statement saying he was Jamari Cortez Bonaparte Jackson and asking people to respect their privacy as they grieve.
“We are all devastated by today’s tragedy. We love Jamari dearly,” the family said in a statement released by community justice group Fighting Injustice Together.
A police officer at the school called in the shooting and requested emergency backup around 12:30 p.m. and more than 200 deputies and other law enforcement officers rushed to the school, Lewis said.
Helicopter footage from WYFF-TV showed dozens of officers walking around outside the school with more than two dozen buses lined up. Some students were slowly boarding the buses.
Everyone on campus, including teachers, were taken to a nearby church.
Greenville County Schools Superintendent Burke Royster said he doesn’t have any idea how the gun ended up at school and a student killed.
“I’m not sure after a full and thorough law enforcement investigation anyone will really know what was going through the mind of that young person who took this rash act,” Royster said. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/health-2/ap-health/police-student-kills-peer-at-south-carolina-middle-school/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:18Z |
Editor’s note: This article was originally published at DAZN.com.
Gennadiy Golovkin is looking ahead to a possible third fight with Canelo Alvarez as if their first two meetings didn’t happen.
In 2017, the Kazakhstani fighter produced arguably the finest performance of his illustrious career, but his efforts were thwarted by the ringside judges who scored the fight a draw even though many believe Triple-G had done enough.
The following year, Alvarez made adjustments and produced a better performance in the rematch. Some observers still scored for Golovkin, but the scores that matter most favored the Mexican.
On April 9, Golovkin will travel to Japan as he looks to unify two middleweight titles against Ryota Murata. One month later, Alvarez jumps up to 175 pounds for a second time to face titleholder Dmitry Bivol.
If both Golovkin and Alvarez emerge victorious, their third encounter could take place in September. Golovkin, speaking exclusively to DAZN during preparations for the Murata fight, insists it’s a clean slate when it comes to the pound-for-pound king.
“I don’t feel bothered by the results in the first two fights,” he said. “I don’t experience any pressure at all. I look ahead because whatever happened, happened. I honestly can’t look at things that way.
“If I’m going to approach the third fight with Canelo, it’ll certainly be with different thoughts and not with the idea of righting any wrongs. I’m not in boxing to prove anything to anybody.
“There’s no need for me to have a particular win. I continue my career because I feel great.” | https://boxingjunkie.usatoday.com/2022/03/gennadiy-golovkin-carries-no-resentment-from-fights-with-canelo-alvarez | 2022-04-01T01:41:20Z |
KENT COUNTY, Mich — Byron Township's case has FOX17 looking into the topic of self-defense. Many wonder if what that man did is legal and what you're allowed to do to keep yourself safe.
Michigan's Self-Defense Act allows individuals to use deadly force if they believe it is necessary to prevent death, great bodily harm or sexual assault.
However, attorneys say you should be confident of what's going on before pulling the trigger.
"If they honestly and reasonably believe that deadly force is necessary to prevent something terrible happening from them, imminent death, serious bodily harm, sexual assault, if you believe that any of those things are happening, you have the right to defend yourself, Levine and Levine Criminal Defense Lawyer Sarissa Montague told FOX17.
She says as a lawyer, she's represented cases similar to this one in byron township before.
"The stand your ground is a little bit different because it really requires that the offense happen most often in your house," she added.
Montague says this doesn't mean if someone comes on your property, you can shoot them.
"If somebody is coming on to your land to deliver, you know, flowers. And I think you'd have a hard time arguing that you can shoot and kill them because you're not really in fear of imminent death under those circumstances," Montague said.
Still, even if you might think defending yourself is cut and dry, it isn't in the eyes of the law. Detectives are always going to look at all angles of any case.
"Law enforcement is engaging in the investigation will submit a report to the prosecutor's office in that county, and the prosecutor's office will decide whether or not to issue charges. They have a ton of discretion about what they choose to issue and what they don't," she added.
Montague says if prosecutors do choose to pursue charges, self-defense is a possible option for the defense in this case.

JANESVILLE
If the dynamics weren’t so similar to national trends in both the public and private job sectors, recent employee turnover at City Hall would be eye-catching.
One might need to look no farther than two resignations over the past three months: The departure of Economic Development Director Gale Price and Department of Public Works Director Paul Woodard.
Between the two employees, Price and Woodard had amassed more than 50 years of collective institutional knowledge as careerlong municipal government employees who had risen to the top of their respective division at City Hall. Woodard, who supervised 130 workers and whose last annual payday as public works chief was listed at $153,000, said he was leaving City Hall for other work. Price left his post earlier in 2022 for an executive-level job in the private sector at a local bank.
The city of Janesville is actively recruiting to fill those two major roles. But the gap that Woodard’s and Price’s departure leaves embodies just two of the dozens of emerging openings at City Hall over the past year.
The churn
Janesville City Manager Mark Freitag and Tera Semanchuk—the city’s new human resources director—say COVID-19 pandemic “fatigue,” particularly among older employees, has played a role in some of the recent turnover, which at times during the pandemic has jumped as high as 10% or 12%, with “at least 20 or 30” unfilled openings as of early March.
In January alone, the city dealt with nine staff resignations.
That’s a churn rate that roughly matches the average for all industries, and while it’s much lower than average turnover rates of 40% to 45% in private industry sectors such as restaurants and warehousing, 10% turnover is about twice what the city typically sees.
As in the private sector, municipal governments like Janesville have for years been anticipating a significant wave of retirements this decade. The city of Janesville’s average employee age is 46, about 5 years older, on average than the average age of workers across all U.S. industries.
On top of that, a significant number of city employees, including dozens of police and fire employees, are primed under state employee pension rules to retire fairly early, sometimes as young as age 53.
Amid a washout over the last year in longtime employees who were eligible for retirement, the city finds itself now competing against the typically higher-paying private sector for the talent the city needs to fill main roles such as a director of public works.
“Gauge it this way: I haven't talked to a private business owner recently who’s told me it’s easy right now to retain people or that it's easy to attract people,” Freitag said. “It’s definitely the employee’s market. They can pick and choose. They can be very, very selective.”
Pay scale survey
This week, the Janesville City Council approved the city spending $60,000 for a consultant to conduct what will be the city’s first comprehensive, non-union employee salary survey since 2015.
The survey was scheduled for 2020 but got scrapped as a “cost-containment” measure during the pandemic. The survey, Semenchuk said in a memo, is part of an effort to “attract and retain high-performing employees by providing equitable compensation and opportunities for advancement.”
Freitag said it is not as simple as the city pushing a green light on pay increases for new or existing hires. It is more complicated for local governments in Wisconsin to enact pay increases, especially during periods of inflation like the one the country is going through now. The city’s payroll already dominates about two-thirds of the city’s fixed costs, a proportion roughly on par with other municipalities statewide.
Taxpayers must shoulder pay increases, and in Wisconsin, municipalities are limited to increasing tax levies based on the value of net new construction. Even if the city wanted to match or exceed private sector pay, it would be limited by taxpayers' willingness—and the city’s own ability under law—to increase revenue.
That constraint might lead the city to resort to some of the same changes in benefits or workplace flexibility that private-sector employers are using to win new employees and retain others.
It might not be easy for the city to match private pay rates, but the survey also is intended to find whether the city is offering pay for certain positions that doesn’t match what other municipal governments pay.
Maintaining service levels
Lori Stottler has worked in local government for 15 years, first as an elected Rock County clerk in 2007 to 2015. But for the last seven years, Stottler worked as a hired municipal clerk for the city of Beloit. She took over as city of Janesville clerk-treasurer last September during the thick of the city’s budget planning season.
Stottler’s role would be a difficult one to fill even under the most unencumbered of job markets because it requires a working knowledge of both municipal finance and state statutes that Stottler said she is still learning every day.
To be a clerk, Stottler had left work in the private sector in nonprofits. She said the fact that a municipal clerk’s work is never quite finished is what appealed to her most. She and her nine employees can’t get too bored on the job, she said, because there’s no diluting the responsibilities her office tends to.
"Even during the pandemic, we never closed. Every single day, you’re here to answer the phones, we still had to process the utility payments, and we still had to build a utility bill. And you know, we still had to get the city council and committee meeting materials together and hold the records,” Stottler said. “That's the coolest thing about the clerk-treasurer's office is it stops for nothing. You can postpone other things; the work a clerk does can't be postponed.”
Freitag said the city has seen a mixed bag in both its outflow of employees and the inflow of new ones. The city has seen people leave for jobs in both the private sector and for jobs in other municipal governments.
But as the number of available employees shifts, residents in more communities than just Janesville have seen the pace and schedule of some routine city work—mowing at city parks, for instance—change.
Residents don’t always know what contributes to staffing changes, but many notice a difference in the level of service a city government provides.
“They really don't care about what we're paying people or what the work atmosphere is here; they just want that level of service to remain at a consistent level. In fact, our resident satisfaction survey’s main theme, if you will, was that residents said, ‘Don't drop your service levels,’” Freitag said.
Is that as simple as paying what it takes to hire more employees to hold the line on services the city offers? Freitag says no.
“They are not asking you to increase services or increase costs, but they want us to continue to maintain those service levels.” | https://www.gazettextra.com/news/local/janesville-city-government-faces-employee-turnover-staffing-challenges-too/article_3a9d2cf8-b140-11ec-8949-b374585da9c7.html | 2022-04-01T01:41:20Z |
ATLANTA — In 2010, when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, North Atlanta High School senior, Lovencia Chambley, was 6 years old and living 15 miles from the earthquake's epicenter.
"When I saw the buildings falling, everything was flying everywhere, people were screaming and then I was knocked out for a little bit because a rock hit me in the head," said Chambley.
She was pinned under debris for 3 days.
"When I was awake I would yell for help and no-one would come help me," said Chambley.
Help did eventually come for her days later, but a day after she was dug out, an aftershock hit.
"That's when I saw all the rocks flying off the building hitting my mom and my siblings and they all fell down and I had to keep running and I just saw bodies dropping," said Chambley.
But because injured people were taken to different areas, she was separated from her mother and siblings and told her mother had died.
"She had a death certificate, Haiti declared her as dead," said Chambley.
Lovencia ended up in an orphanage where Kelly Chambley was volunteering. Three years after the earthquake, Kelly adopted her and brought her to America.
"There was just something magical about her...she got here when she was 10 and thrown into an elementary school," said Kelly.
In the years that followed, Lovencia thrived, learning the language and adjusting to life here. And always dancing.
"Every time she grieves or feels deeply, she would dance," said Kelly.
Then a few weeks ago, a Facebook message changed everything.
The message said: "I'm Lovencia's sister, we've been searching for Lovencia this whole time," said Kelly.
"I didn't even know I had that sister till mom (Kelly) showed me a picture and I said that looks like me!" said Chambley.
The picture also showed another woman, Lovencia's mother who has been alive this whole time.
"In 12 years I've learned so many new things, and to see the woman rise back from the dead is a little... shaky," said Lovencia.
They have Facetimed and talked on the phone. But now the Chambleys want to bring her mother and sister here to see her graduate from North Atlanta High School.
"They were there for the beginning of my childhood...with all that happened I feel like they should see the end of my childhood and see my life and to understand that I'm ok," said Chambley.
She graduates at the end of May so for that to happen, the US embassy in Haiti would have to expedite the Visa process. But the Chambleys say after finding out her mother is alive, they believe anything is possible.
They've started an online fundraiser to pay for the journey. | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/local/lovencia-chambley-north-atlanta-high-school-haiti-earthquake/85-87d6769a-45eb-455f-a7bb-303afe8c70d2 | 2022-04-01T01:41:20Z |

Sharmaji Namkeen's Taaruk Raina fought back tears at this kind gesture of Rishi Kapoor during shoot: 'Please don't cry'
Actor Taaruk Raina, who essays the role of Rishi Kapoor's son in Sharmaji Namkeen, talked about working with the late actor, things that he learnt and the last conversation he had with him, in an interview with Hindustan Times. Directed by Hitesh Bhatia, Sharmaji Namkeen released on March 31 on Amazon Prime Video India, and also features Paresh Rawal, Juhi Chawla,Satish Kaushik and Sheeba Chaddha. (Also read: Sharmaji Namkeen review: Rishi Kapoor’s swan song is a slice of life beauty)
Taaruk said he was very nervous around Rishi initially, but they warmed up to each other soon. Asked if he got any feedback on his acting from Rishi Kapoor, Taaruk said, "At first, I was very nervous around him. I was nervous for around a week or so. Over time, we (Sahil Khan and Taaruk) could build a special friendship with him and I think, he got a little attached to us. Perhaps the situation was such, he warmed up to us. Maybe, he realised we were the only people in front of him at that. He does not give feedback, but he would often advise us saying 'you can do this in this way'. We, of course, took his advice."
Taaruk then recalled his last conversation with Rishi Kapoor and said, "I remember the last conversation I had with him. We were sitting in a car on a cold, freezing night and he said, 'Please give me your phone number. Jab log puchte hain ki koi acche actor hain dimag me to kabhi kabhi number nahi hota hai mere paas (People ask me if there are any good actors and I do not have any numbers to share)'. We (Sahil and Taaruk) were like, I justlooked at Sahil and our eyes were like 'just don't cry, please don't cry'. Every time I remember that conversation, I get emotional. That was the last conversation I had with him. That defines him for me. That is the kind of warm person he was."
Elaborating on the kind of conversations he would have with Rishi Kapoor, Taaruk said, "We did not want to do or say anything wrong in front of him. And, it was also my first time doing a project of this stature and scale. I remember we used to talk about food all the time. And mostly, actually lots of food. I would say 99% of conversation was about food. Even if we talked about something else, it would always end up on food. We could be talking about Europe and he'd go, 'accha, have you had this dish in that European country?' I have never seen a foodie like him, someone who loves food so passionately, and our film is also so much about food. We used to talk about what all we could eat. The food talk also kept everyone on set glued."
He added, "Just the stories he used to tell us. He would say '70s me shooting aise hoti thi, hum aise aate the, yaha aate the, waha ja sakte the tab band nahi the (This is how we shot during the 70s, we would travel in this manner, we could go to these places and they were not closed to public at the time)'. You know, all of it felt like different world. It felt amazing to spend that kind of time with him." Taaruk also clarified that he did not forget his lines while shooting with Rishi. "I did not forget the lines, I could not say them. I was just dumb-founded and in awe of him. I was like, watching him in awe of him. It was my first one on one scene with Rishi ji."
He also said, "Biggest thing I learnt is nothing you can't overcome. No one could see what Rishi ji was suffering from. It was unbelievable, the amount of focus and dedication he had at his age and at the stage that he was. I think as actors, people get distracted with smallest of things. If a person can be at a level where nothing can bother you, that is the stage I want to be at. I hope I can even achieve 10% of what he was." | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/sharmaji-namkeen-s-taaruk-raina-fought-back-tears-at-this-kind-gesture-of-rishi-kapoor-during-shoot-please-don-t-cry-101648695764698-amp.html | 2022-04-01T01:41:21Z |

Once again, we see that justice is not blind in North Carolina; it is tainted by partisanship. If it please the court or, more importantly you, let me argue my case.
Since 1994 – 28 years – our state has been embroiled in a lawsuit over equality in education. It’s called the Leandro lawsuit, initiated by smaller, low-wealth counties that maintained they were not able to provide the same level of education as wealthier counties. They asked the state to require necessary funding to do so. The Supreme Court ruling never really got into who should get what amount of money, but they did state emphatically that every child in our state is guaranteed access to a “sound basic education.” The case was then delegated to Wake Superior Court Judge Howdy Manning to help in living up to that assurance.
Manning worked tirelessly to understand the inequalities and what could be done to address them. It wasn’t surprising that when he retired in 2016, we were not much closer to that goal. Superior Court Judge David Lee was then assigned the case and struggled with many of the issues Manning had faced. In 2021, Lee asked WestEd, an independent educational consultant, to recommend ways for the state to comply with Leandro. They negotiated with the various parties and came back to Lee with a negotiated “Comprehensive Remedial Plan,” an eight-year process identifying specific investments needed to ensure all children have that guaranteed access. Lee accepted the conclusions and ordered the defendants to take necessary actions to implement them.
People are also reading…
A chorus arose saying Lee didn’t have authority to issue such an order or demand funding. Lee finally got tired of lawmaker’s unwillingness to act, saying the court had waited long enough. In November 2021 he ordered the state controller and state treasurer to appropriate $1.7 billion over a two-year period to initiate the plan. Then things really got hot.
A joint release from House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate President Pro-Tem Phil Berger called it absurd to think a document (our Constitution) written in 1868 could have predicted necessary funding levels for education in 2021, saying the ruling was “a circus.”
Additional lawsuits ensued over whether the state should fund the $1.7 billion. Many reasoned, the state had more than $8 billion in reserves, so we could easily afford it. A three-judge panel of Court of Appeals Judges ruled the state wasn’t required to fork over the cash. Plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court to once again hear the case, asking whether the courts could force the state to pay.
Now for the partisanship. Our Chief Justice Paul Newby is a Republican, overseeing our high court having a 4-3 plurality of Democrats. Turns out Judge David Lee is a Democrat; Newby obviously didn’t like Lee’s politics or his ordering the state to provide $1.7 billion. Newby knew it was likely he was going to be outvoted when the matter came before his colleagues, so he did the old “end-around” play. On Monday, March 22nd, Newby surreptitiously removed Lee from the Leandro case, without warning or explanation. Lee didn’t even know about it until he heard it from news sources. The only response given is that Newby has the authority to do so and Lee had reached the mandatory retirement age of 72 earlier this year. It is not uncommon for retired judges to be brought back to the bench in “emergency service” or in special cases, so Lee could have easily continued a case he has overseen since 2016. So why the urgency right this moment?
Curiously, that same day (March 22nd) our Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal of Lee’s decision to mandate the transfer of the money and directed the lower court to review, within 30 days, whether any changes or revisions needed making. The new judge named to handle the case is - wait for it – a Republican, who had previously run for a Supreme Court seat and lost, Superior Court Judge Michael Robinson.
What’s going to happen? Robinson is likely to either overrule Lee’s decision or greatly modify it. Then the revised ruling will come before the Supreme Court. It’s a safe bet that the final decision will be 4-3 with Democrats voting in unison one way and Republicans, also in unison, the other.
I rest my case. Justice is not blind. It is just as partisan as everything else in our country today. This reaffirms that the most important elections this year will be high court judges. It also screams why we need a better system than partisan elections to put people on the bench.
Sadly, those paying the price for our arguing these 28 years are our children.

Game Preview: Pacers at Celtics
Matchup
With five games left in the regular season, the Pacers (25-52) are shipping up to Boston to take on the Celtics (47-30) for the fourth and final time this season. Indiana has not won at TD Center since March 11, 2018.
While Indiana's record is less than stellar, Wednesday's game against the Nuggets proves this team plays with heart. The Pacers rallied from a 31-point deficit to earn a lead. Unfortunately, the Nuggets recovered and earned the win.
Nonetheless, that same heart and hustle will be needed against Boston. Since the All-Star Break, the Celtics have a 13-4 record and are fourth in the Eastern Conference standings. Indiana has a chance to spoil their fun for a bit.
To do so, the Blue & Gold must find ways to slow down the duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Together, the pair averages 50.4 points per game for Boston — 45.5 percent of the team's total scoring. Both Tatum and Brown are adept at scoring from all areas and are shooting around 35 percent from deep.
Additionally, the Pacers will have to find ways to generate offense against the Celtics. Boston ranks first in the NBA in defensive rating, limiting opponents to 106.6 points per 100 possession. The squad ranks second in opposing points in the paint (42.3 points per game). The Pacers' bigs have to play physically and finish their looks against Grant Williams, Al Horford, and Daniel Theis.
Indiana will likely need another solid outing from Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield. Haliburton appears to have found a nice balance of scoring and assisting. The 22-year-old post posted double-doubles in consecutive contests. Meanwhile, Hield has posted five straight double-figure games, including back-to-back 20-point outings. The sharpshooter has made 14 treys over his past three games. Against the Hawks on March 28, he recorded a 5-for-7 (71.4 percent) performance from deep.
Projected Starters
Pacers: PG - Tyrese Haliburton, SG - Buddy Hield, SF - Justin Anderson, PF - Terry Taylor, C - Goga Bitadze
Celtics: PG - Marcus Smart, SG - Jaylen Brown, SF - Jayson Tatum, PF - Grant Williams, C - Al Horford
Injury Report
Pacers: Goga Bitadze - questionable (sore right foot), Oshae Brissett - questionable (sore lower back), Malcolm Brogdon - questionable (sore lower back), Isaiah Jackson - questionable (headache), Chris Duarte - out (sore left toe), T.J. McConnell - out (right wrist ligament surgery), Ricky Rubio - out (torn left ACL), Myles Turner - out (left foot stress reaction), T.J. Warren – out (left navicular fracture)
Celtics: Malik Fitts - out (G League assignment), Sam Hauser - out (G League assignment), Robert Williams III - out (torn left meniscus)
Last Meeting
Feb. 27, 2022: The Celtics came into this contest having won 11 of their last 12 and 13 of their past 15 games. However, the Pacers halted that red-hot streak when they rolled into Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Oshae Brissett recorded 27 points, including six 3-pointers. Buddy Hield added 21 — 13 in the fourth quarter — as Indiana steamrolled Boston, 128-107.
Additionally, Tyrese Haliburton and Malcolm Brogdon were spectacular too. Haliburton nearly missed out on a double-double, finishing with 22 points and nine assists, while Brogdon tacked on another 20 in three quarters. The veteran guard sat out the fourth quarter to rest his sore left Achilles.
Brogdon and Haliburton started an early barrage of threes that helped Indiana grab an early lead. The duo knocked in four — two each. The Blue & Gold remained in front for most of the frame until Payton Pritchard sank a pair of triples late.
After a back-and-forth start to the second, Brissett and Chris Duarte began the second brigade of Pacer treys. The duo helped Indiana snag a 56-46 edge with 3:13 left in the first half. Indiana led 66-55 at halftime.
A 12-4 Indiana run helped push the Pacers' advantage to as high as 19 in the third quarter. Boston managed to cut the deficit to seven to keep it close. However, Hield helped in the fourth quarter to put the Celtics away for good.
Noteworthy
- Indiana has lost the last four road games against Boston.
- Pacers guard Chris Duarte and Celtics guard Payton Pritchard both played basketball at the University of Oregon.
- Pacers guard Duane Washington Jr. and Celtics center Daniel Theis were both born in Germany.

The Star Entertainment Group chairman John O’Neill will pocket $125,000 a month to act as the casino group’s chief executive while it looks for a permanent replacement after its boss resigned this week amid an explosive public inquiry into its operations.
The company said on Friday it had started the search for a new managing director and CEO after Matt Bekier resigned on Monday, taking responsibility for the group’s probity failings.
The NSW inquiry into The Star Sydney, triggered by reports in this masthead, has heard how Mr Bekier tried to challenge an audit warning it was failing to tackle money laundering, while the casino ignored warnings it was working with “junket” partners linked to organised crime and enabled $900 million of fraudulent transactions on Chinese bank cards.
Mr O’Neill, a former Australian Rugby Union and Football Federation Australia boss and a Star board member since 2011, will be paid $1.5 million per year - or $125,000 per month - on top of his existing package, bringing his annual pay to $2 million.
Mr Bekier would be “available in the short term to provide handover assistance as the board requests”, the company said.
The Star also said that it “acknowledges the need for accelerated board change” and would make new director appointments in due course.

The Black American. No other ethnic group has ever been a slave on American soil. Therefore, our entire selves are unique. There are countless unknowns when it comes to how or when the results of that trauma and its horrific, compounded interest will show up. As Black men, specifically, our struggle is to learn that we deserve to lead with grace, as it pertains to each other, while we navigate that trauma.
Mental health requires us to stay present and intentional through moments of contention. We must find the balance between our actual self versus our assimilated self, emotions versus practices, and the truth versus facts. Regardless of who we are, we have an obligation to offer grace. We must always pause and address the question: What is the lesson to be learned in each situation?
Society hopes and expects for us to be rational responders. There are limits on what a person controls, and this presents a conundrum for how the Black man can and should respond in intense moments. If I told you a story about the mind of a person who consistently feels oppressed, struggles to find their identity, and has to fit into a space to become successful and then when you experience that success you are required to shed your life’s lessons, pains, struggles and everything being marginalized has given you, you would see the invisible man; made to take being disrespected in subtle and explicit ways, sometimes consciously and subconsciously.
To this invisible man, home does not always mean being seen. For far too many Black men, feelings of being obsolete in his own family is also common. Feeling disconnected from his wife, children and extended family enhances a loneliness that he has been conditioned to ignore. If he is fortunate enough to reach success, he is then accused of being a sellout, detached culturally, or engaging in behaviors that are now viewed as being toxic; all the while having to be more than one person each day: his Black self, his assimilated self and other versions of self that life has made him have to adjust to. Where and when does he learn the lesson on how to control the narrative created about him when even if he tries, it feels like an insurmountable task? Do we expect that individual to be a rational responder? Is there a narrative where his behavior looks irrational? The vivid imagery that is a consistent reminder of his negative standing in society and drowns out the positive images takes a toll on his viewpoint and interpretation of what he sees and hears as it pertains to himself and his manhood. He doesn’t have the grace to put down the baggage of expectations to defend himself and his family in a manner which dispels the cliché angry Black man, partly because that alternative response doesn’t translate into a level of respect from his community. But, before we think this is about justifying behaviors or acts that are outside the realm of societal norms, let’s be clear: We exist in a space where those norms are being expanded and/or changed in real time.
This isn’t about justification, but rather, the need for health and wellness. It’s about why the need to institute appropriate mental practices is so important. Spiritual practices are not much different from mental health and wellness practices. Becoming more proficient in the practices of understanding your own mind and mental well-being can land you in a very different space than most would think it would when you better understand who you are, what makes you tick and how you then manage yourself in the best and worst moments. It allows for you to land on a symbolic word like grace.
Showing grace and engaging in wellness practices allows for options when presented with these issues or dealing with that trauma. It doesn’t mean it blunts your emotional reaction because that is almost impossible to do. It means that it will help you to identify the behaviors that are most appropriate to tap into during these moments. The recent public events have already created a debate about right versus wrong. That is not the issue. It is about robustly increasing the access to great mental health care and focusing on being on well enough to better help, heal, increase interpretation and exercise grace. In this most recent event, it would have been amazing to see plenty of grace go around.

Virgin River, the Netflix streaming platform’s romance drama, hasn’t appeared with new episodes on fans’ screens since season 3 premiered in July 2021. This was an unexpected sneak peek, as many viewers believed that the The third installment would arrive last December, taking into account the program’s premiere schedule.
With Virgin River season 4 in post-production, chances are Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan will be back with more stories this summer. Let us remember that the three installments that the romantic drama has to its credit, has kept the fans intrigued since it did not give the answers that were really expected.
However, the uncertainty that has kept viewers restless all this time will come to an end with season 4 of Virgin River, as Martin Henderson himself confirmed what everyone suspected about what will come with the new installment of the successful series, which also stars Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays Mel.
Recall that at the end of Virgin River season 2, the drama left Jack bleeding on the floor with a bullet in his abdomen. The third installment arrived on Netflix, and what the series really did was frame Bryde. What is not known is, if he is the real culprit in the attempted murder of Mel’s love interest.
At the end of season 3 of Virgin River, fans saw Mel plunged into the dilemma of her life. She revealed her pregnancy to Jack, but what she doesn’t know is whether he is the biological father, or the baby is the result of in vitro fertilization. The romantic couple will undoubtedly be going through ups and downs, Netflix confirmed last year.
The truth is, Virgin River fans should prepare for what’s to come with season 4, which will answer all the big questions Martin Henderson confirmed, including who is the father of Mel’s child and who shot Jack. While the drama will offer answers with the upcoming episodes, it will drop more questions regarding other stories. This the actor told The Digital Fix via Hello:
“I can’t say too much because it would give away, but you find out what’s going on. I’m just going to say that season four reveals and answers all the questions, but then it introduces a few more. I think season four is going to be very satisfying for the people because of that huge cliffhanger. There were several cliffhangers, which makes for a little love/hate situation for the audience, where they love but hate the wait. It’s going to be worth it because the writers really respond to those things. I think people will be satisfied.” | https://www.somagnews.com/virgin-river-martin-henderson-confirmed-what-was-suspected-about-season-4/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:24Z |
Nancy Pelosi Expresses Shock at California Gas Prices: "How Could This Be?"
Nancy Pelosi expressed shock and indignation on gas prices in California in a Thursday news conference.
“It costs a lot of money in California. If you drive around in California and see the cost, you think, ‘how could this be?'” the 82-year-old career politician questioned.
Nancy Pelosi SHOCKED by massive spike in gas prices in California:
“How could this be?” pic.twitter.com/zLvSBcHx4n
— TheBlaze (@theblaze) March 31, 2022
Gas prices in the Los Angeles metropolitan area have inched to six dollars a gallon.
In a stunning lack of self-awareness, Pelosi urged against solving the gas crisis by producing more domestic energy in the same press conference.
Nancy Pelosi: We cannot “use [high gas prices] as an excuse” to produce more American energy pic.twitter.com/txlUvEYVmS
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) March 31, 2022
“We cannot allow the fossil fuel industry to use this as an excuse to reverse everything we’re doing to save the planet,” Pelosi said.
In the same news conference, Pelosi blamed the skyrocketing gas prices on Vladimir Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
While Putin’s invasion has seriously impacted gas prices, costs at the pump were skyrocketing well before the war began in late February.
.@SpeakerPelosi: “We have the Putin Price Hike at the pump … The price of, of oil and gasoline — gas at the pump started going up when he started circling Ukraine … There is very interest [sic] in our caucus in stopping price gouging on the part of the — of the industry.” pic.twitter.com/VK7c7WHifQ
— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) March 31, 2022
The upward spike in gas prices began when Biden terminated the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline just after his inauguration.
Biden failed to support the American energy industry’s independence, leaving the nation all the more vulnerable to foreign instability in energy markets.
Biden also issued an executive order halting new permits to drill on federal lands.
Biden had gas prices going up since inauguration day. An his alt left jihad on oil and gas left us vulnerable to unstable countries and an event such as the Ukraine war pic.twitter.com/zWUmqRNjAk
— Rogue1-the Jeff Faria Project (@PatriotsOfMars) March 8, 2022
As one of the wealthiest members of Congress, Pelosi will be largely unaffected by the exorbitant prices of natural gas.
On Thursday, Biden announced a mass release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, passing the buck down the line amid rising criticism for his job performance on the economy.
Pelosi’s clueless exasperation doesn’t suggest she’s in a position to offer any positive solutions to pain at the pump.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Aliyah Boston has dominated women's college basketball on both ends of the court this season.
The junior forward helped South Carolina go wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in the country, putting up an SEC-record 27 consecutive double-doubles, and she has helped put the Gamecocks two wins away from the program's second national championship.
Boston was honored as The Associated Press women's basketball player of the year on Thursday. She is the second player from South Carolina to be recognized with the award, joining former Gamecocks great A'ja Wilson.
“Not often do you get the complete package. I think this recognition is for what she was able to do on both sides of the ball,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. “The player of the year is usually for offensive-minded people who think that when you put the ball in the hole, you should be bestowed the player of the year. She’s the full package. Every single day.”
Boston received 23 votes from the 30-member national media panel that votes weekly for the AP Top 25. Iowa's Caitlin Clark received six votes and Baylor's NaLyssa Smith got one.
Boston averaged 16.8 points, 12 rebounds and 2.6 blocks this year.
“I think Aliyah is so unselfish that she’s not very comfortable taking over basketball games,” Staley said. “She doesn’t want to be seen by her teammates as selfish and chasing numbers."
Boston's parents surprised the unanimous first-team AP All-American with the news on Zoom that she had won the award.
“I'm in shock, I got the chills,” Boston said to her parents on the call.
Staley said that Boston is one of the hardest workers on the team.
“Young people will follow anyone, good or bad,” the coach said. “Aliyah has tbe personality where you’d follow her because of how hard she works, how unselfish she is, how giving she is. When it’s time to make plays she delivers. She’s a leader to follow for all the right reasons.” | https://www.wcnc.com/article/sports/aliyah-boston-ap-player-of-the-year/101-87f5e771-e669-445c-9d19-7e4865906edf | 2022-04-01T01:41:27Z |
DUBLIN, April 1 (Reuters) - Rapid Irish manufacturing growth accelerated further in March, though the outlook for production weakened sharply amid worries about record inflationary pressures and the impact of war in Ukraine, a survey showed on Friday.
The AIB S&P Global manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 59.4 from an 11-month low of 57.8 in February. That was the joint-ninth highest mark in nearly 24 years of data collection, each set during the last 12 months.
However both input and output prices rose at the fastest rates since the survey began in 1998, with firms reporting higher costs in raw materials, components, energy, fuel and transport.
Irish inflation hit a 21-year high of 5.6% in February and while rising retail sales suggest surging prices have yet to dampen consumer spending, they have led to the sharpest monthly drop in consumer confidence since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Demand for manufactured goods last month was stronger at home than abroad, Friday's survey found, partly reflecting advance ordering by customers due to supply chain uncertainty and fears over rising prices.
"There are three clear messages that can be gleaned from the Irish PMI manufacturing data for March; continuing strong growth in activity, a weakening of sentiment on the outlook for business and very elevated inflationary pressures," AIB chief economist Oliver Mangan said.
"While still positive, sentiment saw its biggest decline in two years, with firms expressing concerns about the impact on activity from the war in Ukraine."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An external review of Minnesota’s response to days of civil unrest following theMay 2020 killing of George Floyd found several weaknesses, including a lack of clear leadership early on as businesses were being destroyed and set ablaze, and a failure to discern peaceful from unlawful protesters.
The report by Wilder Research, commissioned by the Department of Public Safety and made public Thursday, says Minnesota can do more to address tensions between law enforcement and communities, and must incorporate a deeper sense of humanity in the way it responds to civil unrest in the future.
“Further research and evaluation are needed to understand the role of racism and other forms of bias in law enforcement responses to civil unrest and determine additional steps to address community distrust in law enforcement and state government,” the report also found.
The report, which examined the state’s actions from May 26 through June 7, 2020, listed 20 recommendations to improve the state’s response and find ways to prevent such civil unrest from happening again.
Three “critical recommendations” include: strengthening coordination between multiple agencies; improving coordination and relationships with local jurisdictions and the media; and addressing tension between law enforcement and communities through trust-building efforts, police accountability and transformation, and education.
Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said in a letter to Gov. Tim Walz that his agency has already made changes to improve communication and police accountability, including implementing some of the report’s recommendations.
Floyd, who was Black, was killed May 25, 2020, when former Officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for about nine and a half minutes as Floyd was handcuffed and lying face-down on the pavement. Bystander video showed Floyd said multiple times that he couldn’t breathe, before he eventually went silent and stopped moving.
The killing sparked protests in Minneapolis and around the globe as part of a reckoning over racial injustice. In Minneapolis, some of the protests became violentas businesses, and even a police station, were ransacked and burned.
The report said that unrest was unprecedented, and left local and state agencies overextended.
Local police and emergency responders couldn’t respond to many calls for help. Several state agencies, as well as the National Guard, were called in — but the report noted they were not experienced in handling large-scale civil disturbances over such an extended period.
The report found that the state was too late in setting up a multi-agency command center to coordinate response, and that several local agencies were following different rules of engagement. There was also a lack of communication, leading some communities and businesses totake matters into their own hands. Some of the response by state agencies was also viewed as escalating by some.
The report also noted some strengths. Among them, it found the state acknowledged that the community had legitimate concerns after Floyd’s killing. It also noted that small mobile field force units were effective in addressing unrest in multiple locations. The report said that a curfew, when enforced, was also effective.
A reportissued earlier this month on the city’s response to the Minneapolis protests was sharply critical and included several recommendations, including improving police training on crowd control tactics.
Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughterand also pleaded guilty in federal court to violating Floyd’s civil rights. Three other former officers were also convicted of federal civil rights violations and are awaiting trial on state charges of aiding and abetting both murder and manslaughter.

Sharmaji Namkeen's Taaruk Raina fought back tears at this kind gesture of Rishi Kapoor during shoot: 'Please don't cry'
- Taaruk Raina, who plays Rishi Kapoor's son in Sharmaji Namkeen, talks about the late actor in this interview with Hindustan Times.
Actor Taaruk Raina, who essays the role of Rishi Kapoor's son in Sharmaji Namkeen, talked about working with the late actor, things that he learnt and the last conversation he had with him, in an interview with Hindustan Times. Directed by Hitesh Bhatia, Sharmaji Namkeen released on March 31 on Amazon Prime Video India, and also features Paresh Rawal, Juhi Chawla,Satish Kaushik and Sheeba Chaddha. (Also read: Sharmaji Namkeen review: Rishi Kapoor’s swan song is a slice of life beauty)
Taaruk said he was very nervous around Rishi initially, but they warmed up to each other soon. Asked if he got any feedback on his acting from Rishi Kapoor, Taaruk said, "At first, I was very nervous around him. I was nervous for around a week or so. Over time, we (Sahil Khan and Taaruk) could build a special friendship with him and I think, he got a little attached to us. Perhaps the situation was such, he warmed up to us. Maybe, he realised we were the only people in front of him at that. He does not give feedback, but he would often advise us saying 'you can do this in this way'. We, of course, took his advice."
Taaruk then recalled his last conversation with Rishi Kapoor and said, "I remember the last conversation I had with him. We were sitting in a car on a cold, freezing night and he said, 'Please give me your phone number. Jab log puchte hain ki koi acche actor hain dimag me to kabhi kabhi number nahi hota hai mere paas (People ask me if there are any good actors and I do not have any numbers to share)'. We (Sahil and Taaruk) were like, I justlooked at Sahil and our eyes were like 'just don't cry, please don't cry'. Every time I remember that conversation, I get emotional. That was the last conversation I had with him. That defines him for me. That is the kind of warm person he was."
Elaborating on the kind of conversations he would have with Rishi Kapoor, Taaruk said, "We did not want to do or say anything wrong in front of him. And, it was also my first time doing a project of this stature and scale. I remember we used to talk about food all the time. And mostly, actually lots of food. I would say 99% of conversation was about food. Even if we talked about something else, it would always end up on food. We could be talking about Europe and he'd go, 'accha, have you had this dish in that European country?' I have never seen a foodie like him, someone who loves food so passionately, and our film is also so much about food. We used to talk about what all we could eat. The food talk also kept everyone on set glued."
He added, "Just the stories he used to tell us. He would say '70s me shooting aise hoti thi, hum aise aate the, yaha aate the, waha ja sakte the tab band nahi the (This is how we shot during the 70s, we would travel in this manner, we could go to these places and they were not closed to public at the time)'. You know, all of it felt like different world. It felt amazing to spend that kind of time with him." Taaruk also clarified that he did not forget his lines while shooting with Rishi. "I did not forget the lines, I could not say them. I was just dumb-founded and in awe of him. I was like, watching him in awe of him. It was my first one on one scene with Rishi ji."
He also said, "Biggest thing I learnt is nothing you can't overcome. No one could see what Rishi ji was suffering from. It was unbelievable, the amount of focus and dedication he had at his age and at the stage that he was. I think as actors, people get distracted with smallest of things. If a person can be at a level where nothing can bother you, that is the stage I want to be at. I hope I can even achieve 10% of what he was." | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/sharmaji-namkeen-s-taaruk-raina-fought-back-tears-at-this-kind-gesture-of-rishi-kapoor-during-shoot-please-don-t-cry-101648695764698.html | 2022-04-01T01:41:27Z |
A crew from Coonrod & Associates has removed the Jefferson Elementary School bell from the concrete base where it has sat since 1941. It will be taken to Kentucky where it will be refurbished. The process will restore the bell so it can ring, and then it will be moved to the new Iola Elementary School at Kentucky and Monroe streets. Students will be able to ring the bell to mark significant achievements, such as when they complete fifth grade and move on to middle school. The history of the bell is a little murky, but it is believed to have been installed in one of two bell towers at one of Iola’s first schools in 1868. | https://www.iolaregister.com/news/historic-bell-on-way-for-restoration | 2022-04-01T01:41:27Z |

TOKYO (AP) — People are celebrating Japan's peak cherry blossom viewing season without COVID-19 restrictions for the first time in two years. But many are strolling under the trees rather than drinking and eating in traditional party style.
Trees are in full bloom this week in many parts of Japan. They peaked in Tokyo on Sunday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, attracting many people who had avoided participating in the national tradition for two years because of the pandemic.
In many areas, viewers were asked not to gather under the trees for drinking parties — a traditional way of celebrating the season — as part of continuing anti-virus measures.
At Yoyogi and Ueno parks, areas were roped off to prevent people from sitting down and partying. Many parks put up signs forbidding parties with alcohol.
At Chidorigafuchi Park, a famous “hanami” or cherry blossom viewing spot northwest of the Imperial Palace, thousands of people admired the fluffy pale pink flowers while strolling under rows of trees or from rowboats on the palace moat.
Cherry blossoms, or “sakura,” are Japan’s favorite flower and usually reach their peak in late March to early April, just as the country celebrates the start of a new school and business year.
In Shinjuku Gyoen in downtown Tokyo, many people including families picnicked under the trees. The popular blossom viewing area of Nakameguro was full of people walking along a river lined with cherry blossom trees.
Japan lifted all formal COVID-19 restrictions last week after infections slowed, but experts have raised concerns about a resurgence prompted by people gathering and traveling during spring holidays. | https://www.lmtonline.com/living/article/AP-PHOTOS-Japan-celebrates-cherry-blossoms-17047820.php | 2022-04-01T01:41:29Z |
Humanitarian Situation Overview in Syria (HSOS): Northeast Syria, February 2022
Attachments
Introduction and Methodology
HSOS is a monthly assessment that provides comprehensive, multi-sectoral information about the humanitarian conditions and priority needs inside Syria. This factsheet presents a thematic review based on the HSOS assessment of the priority needs and humanitarian assistance, economic conditions, living conditions, access to basic services, COVID-19 situation, and the security and protection situation in Northeast Syria (NES). Sector-specific indicator findings by location can be found on the HSOS dashboard.
The assessment is conducted using a key informant (KI) methodology at the community level. REACH enumerators are based inside Syria and interview three to five KIs per assessed location, either directly or remotely (via phone). KIs are chosen based on their communitylevel and sector-specific knowledge. This factsheet presents information gathered in 1,220 communities across Aleppo (225 communities), Ar-Raqqa (251 communities), Al-Hasakeh (652 communities), and Deir-ez-Zor (92 communities). Data was collected between 2-20 February 2022 from 4,645 KIs (17% female). Unless specified by an endnote, all indicators refer to the situation in the 30 days prior to data collection. Findings are indicative rather than representative, and should not be generalized across the population and region. Findings that are calculated based on a subset of the community are indicated by the following footnote ♦, with each subset specified in the endnotes.
The complete monthly HSOS dataset is available on the REACH Resource Centre.
Key Highlights
February findings highlight significant challenges for populations across northeast Syria (NES) as economic insecurity impacted households’ ability to meet basic needs, and ongoing insecurity caused displacement and damaged infrastructure.
In NES, economic insecurity affected people’s ability to meet basic needs. Livelihoods was the most commonly reported priority need for both residents and internally displaced people (IDPs). Insufficient income and a lack of employment opportunities that match people’s skills were the most commonly reported barriers to meeting basic needs, reported by KIs in 92% and 65% of assessed communities, respectively.
High prices and low purchasing powerb forced households to adopt negative coping strategies, including sending children to work and reducing food and water consumption. In more than half of the communities, where livelihoods coping strategies were reported, KIs indicated that a proportion of children were sent to work (50% for residents and 61% for IDPs). KIs in almost a quarter of communities reported that households skip or reduce meals to cope with a lack of food. Water trucking services were perceived to be too expensive, forcing a proportion of households to limit water usage, including reducing drinking water consumption, reported by KIs in 19% of assessed communities.
Access to healthcare continued to be challenging. KIs in 70% of assessed communities reported that households did not have access to health services in the assessed location, likely because households could not afford to pay for health services (barrier reported by KIs in 87% of assessed communities with no access to healthcare). Furthermore, medical supply issues affected the functioning of healthcare facilities.c Accordingly, KIs in 52% of communities reported that a lack of medicines or medical equipment was a barrier to healthcare access in February.
Insecurity affected communities living in NES. In February, perceived corruption and the decision by local authorities to halt fuel distributions, resulted in protests across the region.d Moreover, a military operation on 2 February, and aerial strikes on February 25-27, reportedly claimed civilian lives, damaged infrastructure, including an electric station, and caused displacement.e Fear from imminent conflict was reported by KIs in 218 communities, up from 57 in December. | https://reliefweb.int/report/syrian-arab-republic/humanitarian-situation-overview-syria-hsos-northeast-syria-february-2022 | 2022-04-01T01:41:29Z |
USD 409 is reaching out to staff, students, families, and stakeholders in the community to provide feedback about spending the forthcoming Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funding administered through the Kansas Department of Education.
An ESSERs Feedback Survey was launched on March 28. The District is hosting an Open Community Forum at 7:15 a.m. Monday, April 4 at the Board of Education Meeting Room, 626 Commercial Street.
Dr. Renee Nugent, Superintendent of Atchison Public Schools, explained ESSER funding is designated to execute learning initiatives for all kindergarten to 12th-grade students. The KSDE requires all school districts to develop plans based on the three guiding principles, the short and long-term needs of the school district, consultation from stakeholder groups, and evidence-based interventions.
“The purpose of the forum is to offer the public an opportunity to ask questions about allowable uses for ESSER funding to help them in answering the survey,” Nugent said. “They can also see where previous funds have been spent.”

The ‘China model’ is being put to the test
By Li Yuan
A year ago, while many countries were still reeling from COVID-19, China seemed to be one of few places prospering through the pandemic. It was also the only major economy that reported growth in 2020. Global investors were bullish on Chinese stocks even as Beijing’s regulatory crackdown on its private sector became more like a political campaign.
That led some people in China to argue that its one-party authoritarian rule offered a compelling alternative to traditional liberal democracy. The United States was declining politically and economically, they said, and the world was “gravitating toward China.” Many Chinese cheered the narrative online.
A year later, the tone within China is more one of anxiety, anger and despair. In the past month, hundreds of millions of people there have struggled under lockdowns as coronavirus outbreaks spread across the country. Foreign investors are dumping Chinese stocks over geopolitical, regulatory and pandemic uncertainties. And the government’s support of President Vladimir Putin of Russia as he wages war in Ukraine has risked the world’s criticism, and potentially sanctions.
It’s all leading to increasingly anxious questions about the country’s path — and even about whether too much power has been concentrated in the hands of the country’s leader, Xi Jinping, who is seeking a third five-year term at the Communist Party congress late in the year.
On social media, a growing number of citizens are accusing the Communist Party of breaching its social contract with the people. They had tolerated, and sometimes praised, one-party rule in exchange for economic growth and social stability. But its stringent lockdown measures, which are straining entire cities, and its regulatory crackdowns are costing many of them jobs and income and leaving their futures looking much more uncertain and gloomier than a few years ago.
In private, some academics and businesspeople are discussing growing concerns about Xi’s focus on rivalling the United States and proving the viability of the Chinese political model — a focus that some worry has become an obsession.
The competition between countries, Xi has said, is ultimately competition between political systems. The handling of the pandemic “made it evident which country’s leadership and political system is superior,” he told top cadres in January 2021. “Time and momentum are on our side.”
Chinese citizens have to be extremely careful in criticising Xi, some of whose critics have been sentenced to as long as 18 years in prison. So some are resorting to quoting former top leaders to express their frustration that Xi has stepped away from the proven path of reform and opening that provided the country with decades of prosperity.
The public’s pent-up anger is not likely to be enough to sway Beijing’s decision-making or to threaten the rule of the Communist Party, which is accustomed to keeping people in line by using indoctrination and intimidation. But it marks a departure from the heavy silence that has prevailed under Xi’s rule.
Two years ago, China celebrated the merits of its top-down ruling approach by pointing to its success in building a new hospital in just 10 days in Wuhan and containing the spread of the coronavirus in three months. Today, many people view the makeshift quarantine centres as a symbol of Beijing’s stubborn insistence on a costly coronavirus policy that seems to mainly serve the purpose of proving the superiority of its system.
The country’s unforgiving pandemic control measures are being called the “white terror,” a nod to the vast army of neighbourhood workers who wear white hazmat suits. People have shared videos and photos of protests in which demonstrators chanted, “We need to work!” and “We need to eat!”
Some commenters said Beijing wasted its early success in pandemic control because it believed that its political will alone would suffice to beat the virus. They questioned why the government had not spent the huge resources it deployed in mass testing and quarantines on a vaccination drive, especially among older people. They asked whether Beijing was irresponsible in not approving the more effective Western vaccines for the sake of national pride.
Many accused the government of failing to see the huge sacrifices that businesses and individuals had to make, or complained that people were struggling to get by and falling behind on mortgages and other personal loans. They were angry that some people died of heart attacks, asthma, cancer and other diseases because hospitals turned them away under COVID restriction guidelines.
“As long as you don’t die of COVID, you can die of any cause,” goes a viral online quip.
Beijing remains unwavering in the face of public resentment.
“In the past two years, China has fully demonstrated the significant advantage in its political system and its strong national capacity in containing the pandemic,” read a commentary in the state-run People’s Daily newspaper Monday. The zero-COVID policy is a “line of defence that a nation of 1.4 billion people will have to hold,” it said.
The only policy area that Beijing has relented on somewhat has been its regulatory crackdowns on the private sector. After a heavy sell-off of Chinese stocks in mid-March, China’s economic czar, Liu He, urged government agencies to roll out market-friendly policies and to show caution in introducing any measures that risked hurting the markets.
But China’s political-campaign style regulatory crackdown has done its damage. Mass job cutting, once rare in China, is happening in tech, real estate, education and online games, some of the industries that were hit the hardest by the crackdowns. Posts about unemployment are shared widely as a gloomy sentiment grips the educated middle class.
“Standing at this historic turning point, we look back to the Golden Age,” read an online post about China’s four decades of economic transformation and dreams of individual prosperity. “We all thought it would be our future,” it said. “It turned out to be an illusory dream.”

Before Angelica Ross was a well-known actress in the industry, she was living and working in Hollywood — Florida that is. At that time, she was paying her bills as a model and escort after suffering discrimination in other industries (including while attempting to serve in the military and working in food service). She went from posing in front of the camera to teaching herself the skills necessary to be behind it. She learned how to use photo software programs like a pro, as well becoming proficient in graphic design and web development. An “early adopter of technology,” she was able to become adept at all things tech, including teaching herself coding.
As she was working to make her dream of being an actress come true, she was also able to take her love of and skills in tech and start her own company, TransTech Social Enterprises, in 2014. Her hopes were to support those in the trans community to learn the same computer skills and more that pulled her out of hard times. The CEO would go on to create the TransTech Summit. Filled with speakers and workshops, the event provides attendees with the tools to benefit their current careers, learn new skills to be afforded or create new opportunities, and to assist LGBTQIA people in networking with one another. It’s an opportunity for full empowerment. This year’s four-day event, a free virtual one starting on the Transgender Day of Visibility, March 31, and ending Sunday, April 2, has come a long way from its beginnings.
“We started our first summit at the Groupon headquarters [in Chicago], and I believe that was in 2017 or 2018. We did two years and took off a couple years and then last year was our first year going virtual. And then this year’s kind of like an explosion,” Ross tells ESSENCE. “We have just way more speakers. I think we have over 60 speakers at the workshops. We have multiple days of programming, so it’s going to be much, much bigger, a much, much wider conversation than before. It’s like I’m a proud mother watching her baby grow.”
Workshops will cover everything from tech in Hollywood, health wellness and technology, racial justice, diversity representation, inclusion, media marketing, advertising, healing and more. Anything you can think of, from handling burnout, learning how to edit in WordPress, and highlighting apps for change, like COMMUNITYx, the world’s first and leading social impact technology company, will be highlighted.
We chatted with the star and tech CEO about the inspiration for this important event, what attendees can expect to learn and hear throughout it, and how she feels about the visibility of trans women and men these days, as well as the work that still needs to be done for the community.
ESSENCE: Where did the idea for the TransTech Summit come from?
Angelica Ross: Well, I had been going to tech summits all over the place, not just tech summits, but just conferences, from LGBTQ focused conferences to tech focused conferences. I just realized that there was probably a space missing that is centered by trans people, one in which we are centered enough so that everybody who is in our environment is not only watching out for the violence, but it’s like they’re also educated and informed so we can truly be an asset to one another.
What was it about tech in particular that you felt was important to equip trans women and men with these types of skills?
I was what they definitely call an early adopter of technology in general. I grew up just being so techy and putting together the home computer. I loved being on the computer. But I knew that for one, I was part of a community that was being, I would say, trafficked into sex work. People really don’t put two and two together when policies are created that prevent trans people from being employed. Then they don’t understand that we’re criminalized for choosing all other options. And so, I had to create a safe space for folks to both continue to use whatever assets they had in hand, but to put a barrier of protection, harm reduction, which I felt like was the computer.
So many folks started learning how to build websites or they could build adult websites that could still provide them the income that they were looking for, but would provide a safety barrier between them and their target audience and their clients. So for me, that was a part of my story, that I kind of found a way to choose something other than streets, other than posing on someone else’s website and being exploited by someone else. I took the power into my own hands and decided when, where, and how much. So that was really, to be honest, the real basis of it all. So much of my community doesn’t even understand, or hasn’t even been able to heal from the trauma of having to do sex work. So that’s one of the workshops that we’re having at the TransTech Summit. “TRANSformation: Sex Work and Healing.”
So it’s everything from soft skills to very hard skills and learning to code or learning to use social media for digital advocacy. So it’s not just about coding, it’s all about how the intersections of technology can support and maybe give you access to opportunities. So many of our community members have been faced with sort of the decision of, “Do I do sex work or not? Because I can’t get a job.” So we try to not only provide resources for folks who do make those decisions and not shaming people for making those decisions, but we also provide alternative resources so that they can build their careers in other directions.
What kind of topics are you going to be covering in the workshops, in addition to the healing and some of the more technical conversations?
We have everything from folks pursuing their PhD in the tech and computing fields, to “Beauty Means Business.” This is our second year doing that workshop with beauty business professionals like Merrell Hollis who’s been a staple makeup artist on The Wendy Williams Show, but he’s also been my makeup artist for many years. Simone “Japan” Tisci, who’s a celebrity makeup artist, but she was also featured on Legendary. And my manager EJ, who manages a lot of topnotch makeup artists like Yolonda Frederick, who is Ciara’s makeup artist and was my makeup artist for American Horror Story.
We’ve always been talking about how trans people, especially trans women, many of them have been the masterminds of makeup and fashion but have not been given the authority in that in the industry. We talk about how to take those skills that they have and turn it into business, and be about their business. Because beauty is a billion dollar business, and we want to get our folks into it. So, yeah, literally everything from translating the hustle, translating your survival tactics to actual work skills. I will be giving a keynote. We’ll be having workshops on how to process databases and just knowing basic database administration, learning Adobe Creative Cloud. I cannot be more proud of this summit because there’s everything. There’s even somebody teaching them how to do reels and TikToks. Because listen, I’m pretty sure I need to sit in on that class.
The TransTech Summit, I know it begins on the Transgender Day of Visibility, on March 31. How do you feel about the visibility of your community right now and what work still needs to be done?
To be honest, I think the visibility has definitely improved matters. But as my grandmother would always say, “The world gets wiser and more wicked every day.” So we just have to stay vigilant because the work is not over. And I think that that’s going to be a continual theme that I think my community really understands, but it’s like a relay race. And that’s why in the TransTech Summit and in our workshops, we have so many workshops that focus on healing. Because we understand that part of this work is healing. You actually can’t even do this work, broken. It’s just really, really hard because the energy alone will take you out.
And so you really owe it to yourself and to your communities to heal. Because when you bring yourself into the collective, you’re bringing all of that. You’re bringing your hurt and your joy. You’re bringing your value and the things that you’re challenged with. So we understand that there’s a time for learning and there’s a time for healing and there’s a time for action. And so it’s just something that for us, it’s going to be an ongoing process regardless of what the scoreboard says. We understand that our society is very invested in perception and manipulating perception to make it seem like the goalpost has moved when in fact, we haven’t moved that far. So as much as I can say that there has been some great progress made, what I do still know is that Black trans women are still dying.
I am still scrolling my feed and still seeing Black trans bodies being pulled from lakes and dumpsters and found in hotel rooms and on the street. And there’s a real serious conversation to be had. And I want to just call out that, just because everyone’s in Hollywood, doesn’t mean that everyone is accepting. There are people in the hip-hop industry, as well as in the TV and film industry, who are homophobic and transphobic. And some of them might even be LGBTQ, but have internalized homophobia and transphobia and so they move differently. And so when you have folks like myself and the cast of Pose bringing in an era of unapologetic representation, it shakes the foundation of what others have used to get into the room.
And so there’s a conversation that has been hesitant to have, but we’re having it. And there have been many, many allies like your Sheryl Lee Ralphs and Gabrielle Unions and Janelle Monáes and the folks who we can look to in the room — your Alfre Woodards and even Will Smith. We were presenting at the Critics Choice Awards recently with the cast of Pose and he came off stage after winning his award and showed me and Dominique [Jackson] so much love. And for me, that’s the progress and full circle moment, when we have men like Dwyane Wade and Will Smith showing love to queer and trans Black people. And also showing that change in the way that they raise their own children.

His wife Kelsey Hardwick confirmed the news on Instagram. In 2020, Parker was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. “It is with a heavy heart that we confirm Tom’s death,” Hardwick writes.
“Our hearts are broken. Tom was the center of our world, and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence. We are sincerely grateful for the outpouring of love and support and ask everyone to unite so that Tom’s light continues to shine for his beautiful children.”
The Wanted took a break in 2014 when Parker played Danny Zuko on Grease’s UK tour. He was also featured in the Celebrity MasterChef season. In October 2020, the singer was diagnosed with glioblastoma of the fourth stage — an aggressive brain tumor. Parker admits that he was diagnosed after he suffered two seizures.
Last year, the band reunited to play a charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall to support him. After the reunion, the band announced a reunion tour and the release of a greatest hits album. Parker announced that he had written a book on how to find hope in any life situation. The book is due out sometime in July. | https://www.somagnews.com/wanted-singer-tom-parker-has-died-at-the-age-of-33/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:30Z |
Costs top Americans' health care concerns, new poll finds
Americans' biggest health care priorities revolve largely around affordability, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll, with most wanting to see Congress tackle drug prices. More broadly, inflation and rising costs dominate the public's concerns.
The findings, released Thursday, show that 55% of Americans call inflation and rising prices the biggest problem facing the U.S., far ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (18%), climate change (6%), the COVID-19 pandemic (6%) or crime (6%).
That's true across party lines, although the sentiment is most pronounced within the GOP: About 70% of Republicans call inflation the country's biggest issue, compared with 53% of independents and 46% of Democrats.
Similarly, other recent polls have found the rising cost of living dominating Americans' minds. In a new Quinnipiac poll, 30% of Americans picked inflation as the most urgent issue facing the U.S., with the Russia/Ukraine crisis following at just 14%. NBC polling also found Americans more focused on economic concerns than foreign policy or other issues. And a new Gallup survey said 17% of Americans cited inflation as the nation's top problem, the highest level in its polling since 1985.
The focus on costs remains even when Americans are asked specifically about their priorities for possible health care legislation, the KFF poll finds. Most U.S. adults (61%) say it should be a priority for Congress to limit how much drug companies can raise prescription drug prices each year to no more than the rate of inflation. About half (53%) say Congress should make it a priority to cap out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35 monthly and to place a limit on out-of-pocket health care costs for seniors (52%).
Fewer, 42%, call it a priority to expand government-provided health insurance in states that have not expanded Medicaid access or to increase funding for access to mental health services and training for mental health providers. Only 25% say that providing more COVID-19 pandemic response funding should be a priority.
"The public's priorities in health reflect deep concern about prices of everything right now, including drug prices," KFF President and CEO Drew Altman said in a news release. "That doesn't mean other things that have long been popular do not have public support too; they do. It just means prices are the preeminent concern."
In their personal finances, most Americans express at least some worry about being able to afford gasoline or other transportation costs (71%) and unexpected medical bills (58%), with many concerned about paying for monthly utility bills (50%) and food (47%). In February 2020, just 40% worried about paying for gas, 38% about monthly utilities and 34% about food, KFF found.
Concerns are magnified for lower-income Americans. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans in households making less than $40,000 a year say they worry about affording as or transportation costs, with more than 6 in 10 also concerned about affording unexpected medical bills (66%), monthly utilities (65%), rent or mortgage payments (63%) and food (62%).
About half of Americans, 51%, say they've put off or gone without some form of medical service in the past year because of its costs.
Twelve years after its passage, the Affordable Care Act remains popular, the KFF poll finds, with 55% of the public viewing it favorably. About one-quarter, 24%, say the law has directly helped them and their family, with 20% saying it hurt them and the rest that it's had no direct effect.
Of those who say they've seen a positive personal impact, about half say the ACA mainly helped by letting someone in their family get or keep health coverage, with 30% saying the ACA mainly made it easier to get needed health care and 20% that it mainly lowered health care or health insurance costs.
Views of both the ACA and its effects are also sharply divided along partisan lines, with 43% of Democrats and just 7% of Republicans saying the ACA has helped them.
Among Americans under 65 who have private health insurance, 56% say they know nothing about the No Surprises Act, a law taking effect this year that protects people with private health insurance from getting large medical bills when they accidentally receive out-of-network health care. Only about 21% say they know even something about the legislation. | https://www.wlwt.com/article/americans-health-care-concerns/39593902 | 2022-04-01T01:41:30Z |
Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed into law Thursday (March 31, 2022) an alert system for missing and murdered Indigenous women.
The alert system will be similar to Amber or silver alerts -- where information about missing persons is shown on highway signs and distributed via text message.
Democratic Washington Representative Debra Lekanoff introduced House Bill 1725 during the legislative session. She is Tlingit and Aleut and part of a workgroup created by the state Attorney General's Office -- the Missing, Murdered and Indigenous Women and People task force.
The bill passed both legislative chambers unanimously. | https://www.knba.org/news/2022-03-31/washington-state-mmiw-alert-system-signed-into-law | 2022-04-01T01:41:30Z |
1. What’s a yield curve?
It’s a way to show the difference in the reward investors get for choosing to buy shorter- versus longer-term debt. Most of the time, they demand more for locking away their money for longer periods, with the greater uncertainty that brings. So yield curves usually slope upward.
2. What’s the difference in Japan?
Normally market forces determine the yield curve. The BOJ takes a more hands-on approach. Its policy of yield curve control, adopted in 2016, aims to keep 10-year government bond yields around zero with 25 basis points of wiggle room either side -- part of its effort to flood the economy with cheap money to try to revive growth. But its control came under tremendous pressure this year because the Fed started raising interest rates, prompting investors to speculate that Japan would follow suit, meaning it would allow the yield to go higher.
3. What’s the BOJ’s response?
The bank intervened in the market, aggressively buying government debt to keep a lid on the yield. The bank repeatedly offered to buy an unlimited amount of 10-year Japanese government bonds at fixed yields. It also bought longer-term debt and ramped its scheduled buying on March 30 and its purchase plans for the following three months. The bank has used fixed-rate buying several times before, including purchases of 1.6 trillion yen ($13 billion) on July 30, 2018, but never for such a sustained period. As a result, 10-year yields eased back to 0.21% on March 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
4. Why is the yen so weak in 2022?
The biggest reason is the move toward higher interest rates in the U.S., making dollar-denominated assets more attractive for investors seeking higher returns. Kuroda -- who famously rattled markets with a surprise shift to negative interest rates in 2016, before settling on yield curve control -- keeps saying that it’s too early to cut back monetary easing and raise rates in Japan, where inflation remains relatively muted. The different stances are helping weaken the yen. Other factors include the strength of the U.S. economy and its labor market while Japan continues to lag behind its peers in recovering to pre-pandemic levels.
5. What does the weak yen mean for the economy?
Historically Japan has welcomed a weakening of the yen as it helps exporters including carmaking giant Toyota Motor Corp. when they repatriate profits made overseas. In the past decade, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ushered in a period of a much weaker yen largely to the applause of the business world. The mood is shifting now though given that costs for commodities and other inputs are rising at the fastest pace in four decades. A sharply weaker yen amplifies that pain. The average household is also feeling the bite from higher prices for imports from energy to food. With the central bank unlikely to budge, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is left trying to temper the impact through government spending, such as fuel subsidies.
6. Where does this leave Kuroda?
It’s an awkward way to spend the last year of his second five-year term as governor. But he’s shaken off any concerns about the negative side effects of a weaker yen, sticking to protecting the credibility of his policy framework. Kuroda often points out it’s the finance ministry, not the BOJ, that is in charge of foreign exchange matters. Japan’s chief currency official said in March he’d discussed the foreign exchange as a major issue with his U.S. counterpart. What happens after Kuroda leaves in April 2023 is another matter. Kishida may choose a successor who takes a more conventional line on policy.

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

Troubling Details Emerge from the Sets of Bruce Willis' Final Movies: 'The Guy Guided Bruce Everywhere'
Long before actor Bruce Willis announced to the world that his acting career was over, entertainment insiders had squirmed as they watched the signs of decline, according to a new report.
“He just looked so lost, and he would say, ‘I’ll do my best.’ He always tried his best,” Terri Martin, production supervisor on the film “White Elephant,” said Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Times. “He is one of the all-time greats, and I have the utmost admiration and respect for his body of work, but it was time for him to retire.”
On Wednesday, the family of Willis, 67, said he was retiring because he suffered from a cognitive disorder known as aphasia.
“As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” the actor’s daughter Rumer Willis wrote in an Instagram post also signed by other members of the family, the actor’s wife, Emma, and his former wife, Demi Moore.
But what came as shock to his fans had been witnessed by insiders.
In July 2020, Mike Burns, the director of “Out of Death,” had to shorten the lines Willis had in the film, one of 22 he did in the past four years.
“After the first day of working with Bruce, I could see it firsthand and I realized that there was a bigger issue at stake here and why I had been asked to shorten his lines,” Burns said.
Last fall, he worked with Willis again in “Wrong Place” and came away saddened.
“I didn’t think he was better; I thought he was worse,” Burns said. “After we finished, I said: ‘I’m done. I’m not going to do any other Bruce Willis movies.’ I am relieved that he is taking time off.”
Jesse V. Johnson, who directed “White Elephant,” had worked with Willis in the past, and found that when he began working with Willis last April, “it was clear that he was not the Bruce I remembered,” Johnson said.
The LA Times report said crew members it did not name said Willis seemed lost.
“I know why you’re here, and I know why you’re here, but why am I here?” he said, according to the unnamed crew members.
“It was less of an annoyance and more like: ‘How do we not make Bruce look bad?’” one crew member said. “Someone would give him a line and he didn’t understand what it meant. He was just being puppeted.”
Johnson said he passed on directing more Willis films.
“After our experience on ‘White Elephant,’ it was decided as a team that we would not do another,” Johnson said. “We are all Bruce Willis fans, and the arrangement felt wrong and ultimately a rather sad end to an incredible career, one that none of us felt comfortable with.”
Stephen Eads, described by the Times report as Willis’s “assistant-turned-handler” was his on-set helper and “guided Bruce everywhere,” a crew member on 2020’s “Hard Kill” said “He carted him around and kept an eye on him.”
In 2018, Eads signed a three-movie deal for Willis that paid Eads $200,000 per picture, according to a contract the LA Times said it reviewed.
Because Willis had problems remembering his lines, actor Adam Huel Potter gave the star his lines through an earpiece worn by Willis.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has fined the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the bogus “dossier” which was used to ignite the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
The FEC, in a memo to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which filed its complaint against the DNC and Clinton campaign over three years ago, said it fined Clinton’s treasurer $8,000 and the DNC’s treasurer $105,000.
The DNC and Clinton campaign did not contest the fines, but also refused to admit any wrongdoing.
“Solely for the purpose of settling this matter expeditiously and to avoid further legal costs, respondent[s] does not concede, but will not further contest the commission’s finding of probable cause to proceed” with the probe, said the FEC.
Former President Donald Trump said in a statement: “This was done to create, as I have stated many times, and is now confirmed, a hoax funded by the DNC and the Clinton Campaign. This corruption is only beginning to be revealed, is un-American, and must never be allowed to happen again. Where do I go to get my reputation back?”
Dan Backer, who brought the complaint on behalf of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which focuses on free speech and the First Amendment, told the Washington Examiner: “This may well be the first time that Hillary Clinton — one of the most evidently corrupt politicians in American history — has actually been held legally accountable, and I’m proud to have forced the FEC to do their job for once. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation proved that with pluck and grit, Americans who stand with integrity can stand up to the Clinton machine and other corrupt political elites.”
A combined $1,024,407.97 was paid by the treasurers of the DNC and Clinton campaign to law firm Perkins Coie for Fusion GPS’s information (Christopher Steele’s dossier). The DNC and Clinton’s campaign hid the reason for the payments, claiming it was for legal services, not opposition research, the FEC said.
Backer, with Washington’s Chalmers & Adams law firm, held out hope for further action against Clinton: “Hillary Clinton and her cronies willfully engaged in the greatest political fraud in history — destroying our nation’s faith in the electoral process, and it’s high time they were held accountable. I hope this is only the beginning.”

RALEIGH, N.C. — Editor's Note: Video features the intense rivalry between Duke-UNC.
Gov. Roy Cooper proclaimed North Carolina as “The Center of the College Basketball Universe,” ahead of the Duke-UNC Final Four battle on Saturday.
“North Carolina is home to an unmatched tradition of college basketball excellence, including the greatest college basketball rivalry in the nation, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels versus the Duke University Blue Devils,” Cooper said. “The stakes are high on Saturday and fans across the nation will get a firsthand look at two programs that have for decades competed fiercely and divided the loyalty of family and friends but made our state proud.”
Cooper said North Carolina has a long history of excellence in college basketball at every level, from Coach Clarence “Big House” Gaines and Earl the Pearl Monroe’s powerhouse teams at Winston-Salem State to NC State’s magical tournament run in 1983 under Coach Jim Valvano, to this year’s CIAA tournament championship for Fayetteville State, North Carolina fanbases are accustomed to success and fierce rivalry.
Arguably, the most-known rivalry is between Duke and UNC.
Ironically, the campuses are separated by a short eight-mile stretch of highway. "Duke University and the University of North Carolina have set the standard for ‘success’ in college basketball for more than 100 years," Cooper said. The Tar Heels have participated in 52 NCAA tournaments, reached 21 Final Fours, and won seven National Championships. The Blue Devils have reached 44 NCAA tournaments, 17 Final Fours, and won five National Championships.
Duke and UNC have faced each other in Men’s Basketball 257 times with UNC winning 142 times and Duke winning 115 times. Saturday will introduce higher stakes than ever before, as Duke and UNC will play for the first time in an NCAA tournament with a spot in the National Championship game on the line, Cooper said.
Adding to the already historic stakes is a coaching match-up between retiring Hall of Fame Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski and first-year UNC Head Coach Hubert Davis. The game is expected to be a tough ticket to get and is attracting unprecedented attention, according to Cooper.
“Across the world, fans know the legend of Tobacco Road basketball. This weekend, our state’s favorite pastime will be showcased on the biggest stage,” Cooper said. “I’m a proud Tar Heel and I know firsthand that the state of North Carolina is the center of the college basketball universe.” | https://www.wcnc.com/article/sports/ncaa/gov-roy-cooper-proclaims-north-carolina-as-the-center-of-the-college-basketball-universe/83-185570db-598c-494d-83c4-1c4010dc86df | 2022-04-01T01:41:33Z |

EDINBURGH, Ind. (WXIN) – Scientists believe the loud boom that was heard across several counties in South Central Indiana recently was caused by a meteor explosion.
Scientists at Purdue watched surveillance videos that captured the noise and believe the boom can be attributed to an “air burst.”
“Essentially when a meteor is entering the atmosphere it will essentially explode in the atmosphere and they can make a loud boom,” Purdue planetary scientist Brandon Johnson said.
Johnson said it’s likely similar to the “air burst” that happened in the skies over Chelyabinsk in Russia back in 2013. That incident lit up the sky and caused major damage on the ground.
“If it was big enough to make that loud an explosion it should’ve been seen but it was a pretty cloudy day,” Johnson said. “If there was enough cloud cover it’s possible that no one saw it but it still did occur above the clouds.”
The boom was large enough to show up on seismic scales at Indiana University.
“There was a significant pulse of seismic energy recorded on our instruments at 12:44 p.m. yesterday,” geophysics professor Michael Hamburger said. “If this coincides with the timing of the reports, it is likely the result of the sonic disturbance experienced by local residents.”
The American Meteor Society said it took two reports of meteor sightings yesterday afternoon. One of those reports came in from Columbus, the other from Bloomington.
Based on those reports the society was able to triangulate the impacted location and said it was likely a “fireball meteor.”
Johnson said it’s a good reminder that a lot happens out in space.
“It’s a reminder that we need to stay vigilant and know how to protect ourselves and detect these before they happen,” Johnson said.
Johnson said that if it was a meteor then it’s likely that parts of it made it to the ground.
He said they’ll likely be small rocks with a black coating on them.
The American Meteor Society is encouraging anyone who saw anything to report it to them. You can report those at amsmeteors.org. | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/loud-boom-caught-on-camera-in-indiana-believed-to-be-meteor-explosion/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:33Z |
Not seeking to change India-Russia ties: US on Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov's New Delhi visit
The United States on Thursday said every country has its own relationship with the Russian Federation and the US is not seeking any change in that, state department spokesman Ned Price said on Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to New Delhi amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
“Different countries are going to have their own relationship with the Russian Federation. It's a fact of history. It's a fact of geography. That is not something that we are seeking to change. What we are seeking to do, whether it is in the context of India or other partners and allies around the world, is to do all we can to see to it that the international community is speaking in unison,” Ned Price said.
“Speaking loudly against this unjustified, unprovoked, premeditated aggression, calling for an end to the violence, using the leverage that countries, including India, have to those ends. There are countries that by dint of their long-standing relationships with the Russian Federation are going to have in some ways even more leverage than countries closer to us will,” he said.
Jaishankar’s sharp comeback to India’s critics on buying cheaper Russian oil
On being asked about India working out any rupee-rouble conversion for trade, the state department spokesperson said, "I would refer to our Indian partners when it comes to any such rupee-ruble conversion that may have been discussed. When it comes to the Quad, one of the core principles of the Quad is the idea of a free and open Indo-Pacific. That is specific in that context to the Indo-Pacific. But these are principles, these are ideals that transcend any geographic region."
“And part of the reason why these four countries came together is we have a global interest in a world order that is free, that is open, in which countries large and small play by the rules. So it is not in our interest. It is not in Japan's interest. It is not in Australia's interests or it is not in India's interest to see flagrant examples of countries, whether in Europe, whether in the Indo-Pacific, whether anywhere in between, flagrant examples of countries flouting, violating that rules-based international order,” Price said.
Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in India on Thursday on a two-day visit. He will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Friday.
India's position on Russia amid the war has been a subject of global scrutiny and discussion as India has not condemned Russian aggression but called for a ceasefire. US commerce secretary Gina Raimondo has criticised the Russian foreign minister's visit to New Delhi and said it is 'deeply disappointing. The US has also warned India against increasing its oil imports saying that it could expose New Delhi to a great risk.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Got a dime you can spare? Coins are in short supply — again.
Retailers, laundromats and other businesses that rely on coins want Americans to empty their piggy banks and look under couch cushions for extra change and “get coin moving.”
A group of trade associations that represent individual businesses including banks, retail outlets, truck stops, grocery stores and more is asking the Treasury Department for more help convincing Americans to get coins back in circulation. | https://www.iolaregister.com/news/national-news/got-a-dime-businesses-seek-treasury-help-with-coin-shortage | 2022-04-01T01:41:33Z |
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.
In Florida, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday morning that two were killed and two injured when a tornado touched down in the western Florida Panhandle.
Two homes were destroyed and powerlines were knocked down, according to Washington Country Emergency Management spokeswoman Cheryl Frankenfield. The county’s Facebook page showed at least one home that was obliterated, as well as trees down on another home. No other details were immediately available.
The Florida Division of Emergency Management has employees in the area to help, spokesperson Samantha Bequer said. She said neighboring Jackson County also had property damage.
“It’s a nasty day, but thankfully these storms are moving quickly,” she said.
At least two confirmed tornadoes injured several people Wednesday, damaged homes and businesses and downed power lines in Mississippi and Tennessee after earlier storm caused damage in Arkansas, Missouri and Texas.
About 185,000 customers were without electricity Thursday morning in the wake of the storm along a band of states: Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utilities.
The worst of the weather Thursday morning appeared to be at the southern end of the storm front, which was expected to bring heavy rain and high winds all along the U.S. East Coast later in the day. Much of the Florida Panhandle was under a tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee.
Widespread damage was reported in the Jackson, Tennessee, area as a tornado warning was in effect. “Significant damage” occurred to a nursing home near Jackson-Madison County General Hospital and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office in Jackson, said Madison County Emergency Management Director Jason Moore.
In Nashville, Tennessee, paneling fell five stories from the side of a downtown hotel Wednesday evening and onto the roof of a building below. The fire department warned that debris could become airborne as high winds continued, and some hotel guests were moved to other parts of the building due to concerns the roof would become unstable. No injuries were immediately associated with the collapse.
Daylight revealed widespread wind damage across Alabama.
One person suffered minor injuries when a storm hit the University of Montevallo campus south of Birmingham, damaging three buildings, officials said, and a woman was injured when a manufactured home rolled over in rural Bibb County. A school bus was flipped at a high school in south Alabama, and part of the roof was missing from a church in northwest Alabama.
Elsewhere, a warehouse roof collapsed as the storms moved through Southaven, Mississippi, near Memphis, police said. The building had been evacuated and no injuries were reported.
The Mississippi Senate suspended its work Wednesday as weather sirens blared during a tornado watch in downtown Jackson. Some employees took shelter in the Capitol basement.
Rander P. Adams said he and his wife, Janice Delores Adams, were in their home near downtown Jackson when severe weather blew through during a tornado warning Wednesday afternoon. He said their lights flashed and a large window exploded just feet from his wife as she tried to open their front door.
“The glass broke just as if someone threw a brick through it,” he said. “I advised her then, ‘Let’s go to the back of the house.’”
Adams said the storm toppled trees in a nearby park, and a large tree across the street from their house split in half. “We were blessed,” he said. “Instead of falling toward the house, it fell the other way.”
Earlier Wednesday, a tornado that struck Springdale, Arkansas, and the adjoining town of Johnson, about 145 miles (235 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock, shortly after 4 a.m. injured seven people, two critically, according to Springdale Mayor Doug Sprouse.
Sprouse said in a statement that one of those critically injured had improved and was in stable condition and the other five were released from a hospital.
“Our first responders have completed door-to-door searches, and we believe everyone has been accounted for,” Sprouse said.
The National Weather Service in Tulsa said Thursday that the tornado has been rated an EF-3, up from an initial assessment of EF-2, with wind speeds between 136-165 mph (219-265 kph). The tornado reached a peak speed of about 145 mph (233 kph) and 5 miles (8 kilometers) while on the ground for about eight minutes, according to the weather service.
In northwest Missouri, an EF-1 tornado with wind speeds around 90 mph (145 kph) struck St. Joseph on Tuesday night, damaging two homes.
A small tornado also touched down briefly on the eastern edge of Dallas, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. The tornado struck just after 4:30 a.m. Wednesday near McClendon-Chisolm with top winds of about 100 mph (161 kph) and damaged homes, but no injuries were reported, according to the weather service.
The storms come a week after a tornado in a New Orleans-area neighborhood carved a path of destruction during the overnight hoursand killed a man.
Strong winds in Louisiana overturned semitrailers, peeled the roof from a mobile home, sent a tree crashing into a home and knocked down power lines, according to weather service forecasters, who did not immediately confirm any tornadoes in the state.
The National Weather Service office in New Orleans said Thursday that teams would be out in Tangipahoa and St. Tammany Parishes in southeastern Louisiana and in Jackson County in southeastern Mississippi surveying damage. They said the highest wind speed recorded in the office’ coverage area was 67 mph (108 kph) at the New Orleans Lakefront airport with winds in Baton Rouge reaching into the high 50 mph (80 kph) range.
Firefighters, meanwhile, have been trying to get handle on a wildfire spreading near Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, amid mandatory evacuations as winds whipped up ahead of the approaching storm front.
The fire, which was not contained, had expanded to about 250 acres (more than 100 hectares) as of Wednesday afternoon. One person was injured, and a plume of smoke rose above one community not far from where 2016 wildfires ravaged the tourism town of Gatlinburg, killing 14 people and damaging or destroying about 2,500 buildings.

Bronx-based culinary collective Ghetto Gastro, consisting of Jon Gray, Lester Walker, and Pierre Serrao, have been doing it for the culture since 2012. After a pretty epic weekend of collaborating with Chef Wolfgang Puck to create the menu for post-Oscars celebration the Governor’s Ball, they are celebrating the launch of the CRUXGG Seasoned Blue Steel Cookware, an exclusive carbon steel cookware collection designed by CRUX and available exclusively at Williams Sonoma. This is one of their many efforts to empower communities, fight racism and advance social justice through food, art and design.
What is most exciting about this cookware, aside from its impeccable ability to sear, brown and caramelize, is that Black men were behind its creation and the actual items are also all black everything.
Now, to dig into the specs, the cookware is made from 2.0mm heavy gauge, annealed carbon steel, and pre-seasoned for natural resistance to rust and corrosion.The cookware also has an impressive heat distribution, is lighter than traditional cast iron, and heats up in nearly half of the time. If you’re a fan of nonstick items, you’ll be pleased to know the cookware has a natural nonstick feature. It’s also compatible with all stovetops.
Some of the items you can choose from include the fry pan, which comes in three sizes or can be ordered in a 10″ and 12″ set, a crepe pan, or high wall fry pans in two sizes perfect for tossing ingredients, like stir fry. The collection’s price range is $69.95-$99.95.
Ghetto Gastro and Williams Sonoma have previously collaborated on cookware that people can’t seem to get enough of these days, including the beloved air fryer. They also crafted a Double Rotation Waffle Maker that can cook up to eight waffles in 10 minutes, the KING 3.5 HP Blender with capacitive touch (named after Martin Luther King Jr.), and a searing grill that you can bring to the dining table.
Ghetto Gastro’s goal is to spark change, and this new collaboration with Williams Sonoma is one of many mediums they’re using to do it. If your kitchenware is outdated or you want to upgrade to something chic and functional, here’s your chance. | https://www.essence.com/lifestyle/ghetto-gastro-williams-sonoma/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:36Z |

Australia to send armoured vehicles to Ukraine
Australia will send some of its Bushmaster armoured vehicles to Ukraine following a request from the war-torn nation’s president Volodymyr Zelensky in his address to Parliament.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed on Friday morning that some of the Australian-made four-wheel-drive armoured vehicles would be sent over to Ukraine, along with a further $25 million worth of military support announced on Thursday.
“We are not just sending our prayers, we are sending our guns, ammunitions, humanitarian aid, all of this, our body armour, all of these things,” he said.
“We will send our armoured vehicles, our Bushmasters, as well, and we will fly them over there in our C-17s to make sure they can be there to support.”
Defence officials separately told a Senate estimates hearing there had been discussions throughout the night about how the Bushmasters could be supplied after Mr Zelensky specifically asked for them in his address to Parliament on Thursday evening.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne said this included considering whether there were any in place in countries geographically closer to Ukraine which could be moved to the war zone faster than shipping them from Australia.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women's college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I ... am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey's response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.
“It's quite shocking that he can't even address trans people or even say that he thinks they exist,” Bridget Sharpe said.
Wednesday's signing of the two transgender bills and a third that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and is currently unconstitutional put Ducey right in the middle of two top issues national Republicans are highlighting in the runup to November's midterm elections.
Ducey also signed election legislation that minority Democrats said amounted to voter suppression by requiring longtime Arizonans to be thrown off the voter rolls if they did not prove their citizenship and residence location.
The governor leads the Republican Governors Association, which is charged with helping elect GOP chief executives in U.S. states. He in is the last year of his second term as Arizona governor and term limits bar him from seeking reelection.
The top Democrat in the state House, Rep. Reginald Bolding, called Wednesday “probably one of the darkest days we've seen in the history of Arizona."
“With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ducey has hurled Arizona backwards to its ugliest past,” Bolding said Wednesday. “And today, he put in jeopardy pregnant people, transgender youth in danger and curtailed voting rights for people of color.”
Social conservative groups and the Arizona Republican Party praised Ducey's action. The Center for Arizona Policy, whose president shepherded the abortion and women's sports bills through the Legislature, called it a victory.
"Thank you, Governor Ducey, for taking a bold stand for women athletes, vulnerable children, and the unborn by putting your signature on (the bills) in the face of intense opposition from activists," Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod said in a news release she posted on Twitter.
She said the legislation protects the unborn, ensures a level playing field for female athletes and shows that “Arizona will do everything it can to protect vulnerable children struggling with gender confusion” by enacting the surgery ban.
Ducey said the surgery ban protects children from irreversible decisions.
“These are permanent surgeries of reassignment that are irreversible, and those discussions can happen once adulthood is reached,” he said.
The American Civil Liberties Association has vowed to sue over the surgery ban. U.S. Supreme Court precedent currently says women have a constitutional right to abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, although it is considering whether to uphold a 15-week ban enacted in Mississippi and may overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision enshrining a woman's right to choose.
Arizona joins 13 other states in enacting laws preventing transgender girls and women from playing on girls teams. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a transgender sports ban in his state, saying it would harm transgender girls, but the Legislature overrode the veto. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb also vetoed a sports bill, but lawmakers hope to override his action as well. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Arizona-governor-won-t-say-transgender-people-17049806.php | 2022-04-01T01:41:36Z |
According to the online analytical platforms Santimentand WhaleStats, the number of Ethereum (ETH) whales is growing. According to both platforms, these whales are buying ApeCoin and some altcoins of the metaverse.
ApeCoin is popular among ETH Whales
Analyst firm Santiment highlights the significant growth of Ethereum assets among the richest cryptocurrency wallets in the world, and also shows that these whales are investing in the recently popular ApeCoin (APE). The company claims that the number of Ethereum holders holding more than 10,000 ETH has reached a level not seen since December last year. Sentiment believes that the accumulation of whales indicates an increase in prices in the future.
The number of Ethereum addresses containing more than 10,000 ETH has reached the largest number (1,329) since December 2021. This includes 40 more in just 5 weeks. There is a clear correlation between the number of whale addresses and future price behavior.
WhaleStats, whose analysis we often call Somagnews, reports that Ethereum was one of the most popular cryptocurrencies among whales last week with an average purchase of 1,919 ETH tokens totaling $6,230,754. In addition to ETH, ApeCoin (APE) and coins based on the metaverse are very popular among whales.
What other altcoins are whales buying?
Among the most unstable cryptocurrencies bought last week by WhaleStats is Gala Games (GALA), a blockchain gaming platform that plays for winnings. Whales purchased an average of 1,032,251 GALA tokens for $276,738. The main ETH wallets also buy ApeCoin (APE), a third-party project of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, with an average of 20,055 coins at a price of $270,193. | https://www.somagnews.com/whales-are-watching-apecoin-and-these-metaverse-coins/ | 2022-04-01T01:41:36Z |
The counting is over in the second union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. But it's too close to call.
There were 993 "no" votes and 875 "yes" votes, but more than 400 contested ballots remain. According to the National Labor Relations Board, there will be a hearing within a few weeks to decide if any of the challenged ballots will be opened and counted.
More than 6,100 workers were eligible to vote in the do-over election, which was ordered after the NLRB found that Amazon had improperly interfered in last year's tally.
Turnout in this year's vote was down from last year when over half of eligible voters cast ballots. But among those who actually voted this time around, there was greater support for the union. Last year, workers voted more than 2-to-1 against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a well-established national union.
"This time around we were able to educate more about unions," said Jennifer Bates, a warehouse employee, noting that organizers were able to get closer to workers now that the pandemic has eased.
The RWDSU called for every vote to be counted.
"The tenacity and courage of these workers never wavered in this unnecessarily long process," said RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum in a statement. "Workers will have to wait just a little bit longer to ensure their voices are heard."
Meanwhile in a separate Amazon union election on Staten Island in New York, the vote count will continue Friday morning. Roughly 8,000 workers were eligible to vote on whether to join the Amazon Labor Union, an upstart organization led by former and current Amazon warehouse employees. With ballots still to count, the union is in the lead, with 1,518 voting yes so far, and 1,154 voting no.

All three officers were taken to hospitals. One of them has been pronounced dead. A second was in critical condition, but stable, and a third was in stable condition, Capello said.
“This is an extremely difficult moment for everyone,” Capello said.
The suspect, a 34-year-old man from Lebanon, was killed in the shooting, Lebanon Police Chief Todd Breiner said.
“As one can imagine, it’s clearly a traumatic event,” Breiner said. “Our guys are strong, but we’re human and we have families.”
The slain officer’s name is being withheld pending notification of extended family members.
Police did not release further details. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/1-officer-killed-2-others-shot-in-pennsylvania/2022/03/31/90861714-b155-11ec-9dbd-0d4609d44c1c_story.html | 2022-04-01T01:41:37Z |

Whoopi Goldberg Erupts on 'The View' Co-Host Who Criticized Hollywood Elites
Whoopi Goldberg, one of the co-hosts of “The View,” has made headlines again for going after one of her other co-hosts who was labeling Hollywood as a group of “elites.”
While focusing on the incident of actor Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, Tara Setmayer mentioned how she thought it was ridiculous that Smith got a standing ovation even after the incident.
“But then they give him a standing ovation, though, Whoopi. Which I think again goes back to why some people feel like Hollywood elites are a bunch of hypocrites. Because they go out there and they give these statements of moral superiority about things and political statement and then ….” Setmayer said, before Goldberg interrupted.
Goldberg criticized Setmayer for her view on the whole Smith-Rock slap and then said that she wants to “stop with this ‘elite’ stuff.”
“A lot of us work for a living. We work, we collect the check, we got families, we try to do the same thing, the good stuff that everybody else tries to do. And it really pisses me off when people start to talk about people who work in Hollywood,” Golberg said.
She objected to grouping all actors and anyone who works in Hollywood together and blaming them for things.
“If you’re pissed off about somebody or how they act, don’t put it on all of us, because that’s like saying all black people like chicken,” Goldberg added.
Whoopi Goldberg gets indignant when confronted with Hollywood’s elitism and moral hypocrisy.
“I just want to stop with this ‘elite’ stuff,” she whined. “Some of us work for a living … and it really pisses me off when people start to talk about people who work in Hollywood.” pic.twitter.com/NMkmJ6EKTz— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 31, 2022
Setmayer argued that, to average Americans, all the Hollywood people who make millions of dollars do look like one big group.
“I’m talking about how average Americans look at that and it does come across that way,” Setmayer said. “I think there’s an argument to be made about the industry.”
“Some are making millions of dollars, but not everybody,” Goldberg responded.
Co-host Joy Behar backed up Goldberg, telling Setmayer, “You can’t paint all Hollywood people with one brush.”
Despite not wanting to paint everyone in Hollywood as an “elite” making millions, Goldberg is one of those Hollywood workers who makes millions of dollars each year.
It has been estimated that Goldberg makes about $5 to $6 million per year for her position on “The View,” Parade reported.
Her net worth is estimated to be about $60 million.
There were complaints after Goldberg’s comments that she is out of touch.
@Theview @JoyVBehar @sunny @WhoopiGoldberg your guest host today hit the nail square on the head saying fans see Hollywood elite the way will showed himself to be! Thats why so many fans no longer care about their craft. Whoopi getting upset by that shows how out of touch she is
