U.S. Passports To Allow 'X' Gender Marker From April 11
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Antony BlinkenAmerican government official and 71th U.S. Secretary of State
The Department of State will soon begin issuing U.S. passports with an “X” gender marker to better represent nonbinary, intersex and gender non-conforming Americans, the agency announced Thursday.
The option, announced during Transgender Day of Visibility, will be rolled out starting April 11. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the shift will “better serve all U.S. citizens, regardless of their gender identity.”
“We continue to work closely with our federal government partners to ensure as smooth a travel experience as possible for all passport holders, regardless of their gender identity,” he said in a statement Thursday. “We reaffirm our commitment to promoting and protecting the freedom, dignity, and equality of all persons – including transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming persons around the world.”
U.S. citizens will be able to select X as their gender marker on their U.S. passport book starting April 11. As we mark Transgender Day of Visibility, we mark this historic moment at the @StateDept as a meaningful step towards LGBTQI+ inclusivity. #TDOV
— Secretary Antony Blinken (@SecBlinken) March 31, 2022
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we recognize the achievements and resilience of transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming persons worldwide. We continue to work to ensure their ability to live authentically, safely, and with dignity. #TDOV
— Secretary Antony Blinken (@SecBlinken) March 31, 2022
The move follows the agency’s June decision to let Americans select their genders on passport applications without having to submit medical documents. The Department of Homeland Security also said Thursday it would improve its screening measures and update its TSA PreCheck program to better serve travelers, saying this would allow screenings to be conducted “in a manner that respects the dignity of each individual.”
“The new measures announced today are part of a whole-of-government effort to promote equity and inclusion in all our programs and processes,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.
Reuters notes that the Social Security Administration will also allow U.S. citizens to select and add their genders to Social Security cards beginning this fall. (The cards do not currently include gender indicators).
The State Department issued its first passport with an “X” gender marker in October. Lambda Legal confirmed later that it was issued to Dana Zzyym, an intersex Coloradan who had sued the agency in 2015 after it refused to issue the document with the marker, NBC News reported.
“I almost burst into tears when I opened the envelope, pulled out my new passport, and saw the ‘X’ stamped boldly under ‘sex,’” Zzyym said at the time.

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Jennifer Kupcho shared the lead Thursday in The Chevron Championship in her second — and last — start at Mission Hills, the tree-lined layout she has quickly fallen in love with.
“Honestly, I think it’s just being comfortable on this golf course,” Kupcho said. “I get here and I just, I feel comfortable. I love this place."
Kupcho shot a 6-under 66 in sunny and calm morning conditions to join fellow early starter Minjee Lee atop the leaderboard after the first round of the final edition of the major championship at Mission Hills.
“I really like the layout of this golf course, the beautiful shape that it’s in every year,” Kupcho said. “It always is so fun to be here, so just taking advantage of how much I like the course and the atmosphere.”
Unable to find a sponsor willing to remain at Mission Hills, the tournament that started in 1972 as the Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner’s Circle and became a major in 1983 is shifting to Houston next year under a deal with Chevron.
“Definitely sad," Carolina Masson said after a 68. "I understand why we’re doing it, but I’m just trying to soak in every second being out here. The golf course is playing as good as ever."
Defending champion Patty Tavatanakit was a stroke back, finishing late in the afternoon in gusting wind.
“Really proud,” Tavatanakit said. “I feel like I really got my momentum going, was really present today.”
Kupcho birdied Nos. 11-14 to get to 8 under, then bogeyed the next two holes. She birdied four of the first five and finished with nine birdies and three bogeys.
“You really need to hit fairways on a major golf course, so that was like my biggest thing today, to hit a bunch of fairways,” Kupcho said. “That really set me up for all my birdies.”
Winless on the LPGA Tour, Kupcho won the 2018 NCAA individual title for Wake Forest and took the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur the following year after passing up a spot that week at Mission Hills.
The 24-year-old from Colorado arrived early in the desert after missing the cut Friday in Carlsbad. "I just used the two days that I did have on the weekend to come here and practice,” she said.
Lee birdied all four par 5s in a bogey-free round on the mountain-framed course.
“It was perfect,” Lee said. “Not like a breath of wind when we played. Maybe just a tiny bit. But conditions are great. Putting greens are rolling real nice. I don’t think you can get better than that.”
The 25-year-old Australian, ranked fourth in the world, won the Evian Championship last summer for her first major title and sixth LPGA Tour victory.
“I know I have one under my belt, but I do want a little bit more,” Lee said. “I just think I have a little bit more belief in myself and my game, so I can be a little bit more comfortable just hitting the shots."
Third-ranked Lydia Ko, the 2015 champion, was at 68 with Masson, Anna Nordqvist, Georgia Hall, Gabriela Ruffels and Pajaree Anannarukarn. Lexi Thompson, the 2014 winner, was another stroke back with Sarah Schmelzel, Annie Park, Lauren Stephenson, Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and Hinako Shibuno.
Thompson marveled at course she first played as a 14-year-old amateur.
“I’ve never seen it this good," Thompson said. “It always surprises me every year. It’s always better. The greens are amazing. I’m one to putt and usually aim at things along the way, and there is just not an imperfection on greens to aim at. It’s a good problem.”
Schmelzel is making her fourth appearance.
“This place is really special,” Schmelzel said. “I feel like growing up watching the LPGA Tour, these are holes that I remember. These are holes that I wanted to be on one day.”
Park played as a single in the first group in the afternoon off the first tee.
“It was kind of weird the first couple holes just playing by myself,” Park said. “It was really peaceful."
Top-ranked Jin Young Ko, the 2019 winner, shot a 74 to end her under-par streak at 34 rounds. Her run of at least one birdie ended at 53 rounds.
“I was hitting lots of great shots, but my putting wasn’t good,” she said. “I couldn’t see the break as much or speed. Everything was wrong."
Ally Ewing and Moriya Jutanugarn had an eventful finish on the par-5 18th when the sprinklers on the green turned on at about 6 p.m. as Ewing was preparing for a 4-foot birdie putt. After a short delay, she holed out for a 70.

Shina Biblow always knew she would have to have open heart surgery one day, she just never thought it would be when she was four months pregnant with her second child.
“He’s here and he’s healthy and growing. It’s a miracle,” said Biblow of the family’s latest addition, a healthy baby boy named Merritt, born Jan. 26.
Unlike her first textbook pregnancy a few years before with their son Morris, Shina developed health problems almost immediately that would require complex, high-risk heart surgery at St. Paul’s Hospital when she was just 15 weeks pregnant.
“There was a 40 per cent risk of losing the baby. It was very hard … (but if ) there’s no me, then there’s no baby so we had to do what we had to do.”
In a sense, Biblow’s story began 32 years ago. She was born with a narrowing of her aortic valve, the main blood vessel leaving the heart. She required surgery for this as an infant.
The condition meant that when she turned 18, she became part of the Pacific Adult Congenital Heart Clinic (PACH) at St. Paul’s Hospital, a multidisciplinary team that follows adults born with heart disease.
Feeling unwell from the pregnancy’s start
Apart from being unable to do certain intense sports, Biblow led a normal life, including an uneventful first pregnancy and birth of their oldest son, Morris.
This second pregnancy was different.
From the get-go, she felt unwell. “I was nauseous and tired, my heart was racing and I got what I call hot flashes,” she says. “I just assumed they were caused by a surge of pregnancy hormones.”
She received care at Cariboo Memorial Hospital’s emergency department.
“That’s when they discovered I was going into heart failure.”
Doctors sent an urgent referral to the highly specialized Cardiac Obstetrics Clinic (COB) at St. Paul’s Hospital. She received tests that revealed episodes of sudden extremely rapid heart rhythms.
Calf cramps followed – also a pregnancy symptom, she figured. When she developed itchy red spots on her body, she became alarmed.
“Things just kept getting worse,” Shina said.
Breathing was so hard she could not even care for her toddler. When she called a PACH Clinic nurse, she exploded into fits of coughing.
Dr. Marla Kiess, St. Paul’s cardiologist and COB founder, followed Biblow by Zoom to monitor the heart palpitations, shortness of breath and other symptoms.
A soaring heart rate
As they persisted, Dr. Kiess directed the local hospital to airlift her for more advanced care to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on August 12. There, her heart rate soared to 190 beats/minute. A normal rate is 60 to 100.
Tests found growths on her aortic valve, suggesting a bacterial infection: serious in any patient, more so in a pregnant woman.
“The infection in the valve was totally unexpected and unpredictable,” recalls Dr. Kiess.
She and her team arranged for Biblow’s transfer to St. Paul’s, the only centre in British Columbia for complex cardiac-obstetrics cases like this.
Surgery poses big risk to fetus
Shortly after arriving on August 15, St. Paul’s cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jamil Bashir told Biblow she’d need open-heart surgery to replace the infected aortic valve.
“It was scary,” says Biblow. “But it needed to be done if we wanted to keep the baby and save my life.”
Risks were high. “That point in gestation is a critical time in the baby’s evolution because many organs are developing,” says Dr. Kiess.
A complex case requires a large care team
In surgery, Biblow would be supported by a heart-lung bypass machine, which would reduce blood flow to the fetus and risk organ malformation. Alarmingly, it would bring a 40 per cent risk of the baby dying, says Dr. Kiess.
Because of the case’s complexity, her care team began a huge amount of planning to anticipate potential responses to problems in both mom and baby. It included nurses and doctors from cardiology, anesthesia, surgery, infectious diseases, the ICU, and obstetrics. Zoom proved invaluable.
Her husband Tyson, a millwright at Gibraltar Mine, rushed to Vancouver to be with his wife, narrowly getting over the Coquihalla pass before it was closed due to last summer’s wildfires.
Delicate balance around medication
On August 18, Dr. Bashir and his team successfully implanted a mechanical aortic valve to replace the severely infected one. The good news was, a mechanical valve (unlike a cadaver valve) would never have to be replaced. The bad news was, it increased Biblow’s risk of clotting. She would need blood thinners for the rest of her life.
Those drugs brought risks to the fetus, so Dr. Anna Rahmani and Dr. Tony Wan from the St. Paul’s Thrombosis clinic were also part of her care.
St. Paul’s teams then followed her post-surgery to monitor her with the new valve and pregnancy.
The birth approaches
As the delivery date approached, her team wanted her in Vancouver near the hospital several weeks before, to tend to her cardiac and obstetrical needs. Registered nurse Karen Sandhu, complex care coordinator for maternity, and Amy Graham, COB RN, oversaw the many logistics around that chapter, as did PACH/COB social worker Kassandra Maxwell.
“I coordinated with her St. Paul’s obstetrician, Dr. Nancy Matinko and the virtual visits Shina would have with her,” says Sandhu.
More planning ensued, especially around her anticoagulants. They had to stop in advance because of the risk of a severe bleed giving birth. Yet she couldn’t be off them for more than 24 hours because of clotting risks.
Amid it all, Merritt arrived on January 24 at 38 weeks’ gestation, weighing six pounds, four ounces. “With all the meds I was on, they were expecting a smaller baby,” Biblow says proudly. He is healthy and well.
The family is now home on their ranch, enjoying life at Miocene.
Shina has regular virtual visits with St. Paul’s teams, including COB and the Thrombosis Clinic.
She and her husband Tyson are grateful to St. Paul’s expansive team of doctors, nurses, social workers and many others who helped her and her baby survive risky cardiac surgery and see her through delivery and post-partum care.
“Even though everything happening was very scary and we didn’t know what the outcome was going to be, our faith and prayers from our family and friends, and the care from the team at St. Paul’s is what got us through the experience.”

JUAREZ, Mexico (Border Report) – Myrna and Julio Flores fled El Salvador after gang members levied a “tax” on their home-based business and threatened harm if they didn’t pay up.
“We had a baby on the way. That motivated us to close our business, quit our jobs and come to the United States,” Myrna said, holding her now 8-month-old daughter.
The couple crossed the Rio Grande at Reynosa, Mexico, but didn’t have a chance to plead their case for asylum. The U.S. Border Patrol fingerprinted them at a processing center near McAllen, Texas, put them on an airplane to El Paso and expelled them to Mexico under the Title 42 public health rule last month.
Immigration advocates say Title 42 exposes migrants to violent crime in Mexican border cities like Juarez. The Flores couple can attest to that.
On Feb. 12, armed gunmen allegedly belonging to a cell of the Aztecas gang arrived at a church in South Central Juarez where a funeral was being held for a rival. The gunmen murdered six funeral-goers including a 12-year-old boy and wounded several other people. The Floreses were staying at a small migrant shelter in the back of that church and escaped the fusillade.
“When we went out, we had to step over the dead because there were several dead and wounded. We found refuge in the house across (the street),” Myrna said. “The church had to close to because of threats.”
Seeing days go by at a Juarez shelter, the couple is looking forward to the termination of Title 42, which news reports out of Washington, D.C., say will happen on May 23.
“We were fleeing violence and we found more violence,” Julio said. “I hope they let us apply for asylum (in the United States). Most of us are fleeing because there are too many problems in our countries. The violence in El Salvador has exploded. […] There’s a 6 p.m. curfew in most towns (because of gang violence). People cannot come out of their homes.”
Enrique Valenzuela, head of the Chihuahua Population Council (COESPO), says between 10,000 and 12,500 migrants are in Juarez waiting for the end of Title 42.
“The shelters are at 80 percent capacity. That’s between 2,000 and 3,000 people, but for every migrant that comes to us for assistance, there are four to five that do not,” said Valenzuela, whose office oversees Juarez’s Migrant Assistance Center.
The council in 2019 helped U.S. Customs and Border Protection bring order to a then-chaotic border in which flash mobs frequently materialized across from U.S. ports of entry and hustlers sold places in line.
Back then, COESPO helped manage access to international bridges and provided guidance to migrants as to what documents CBP expected of them.
This time, though, it’s still not known what shape that cooperation will take.
“At this point, we don’t know how much of an influx we will have or how the United States chooses to handle that flow,” Valenzuela said. “It’s important for people to know they have to wait for official information, for them not to be tricked that it will be an easy way into the United States now that Title 42 is going to be lifted. No, that is not the case.”
But Valenzuela said Chihuahua Gov. Maru Campos has instructed his office and other state agencies to continue helping migrants regardless of where they come from. That includes Mexican families displaced by a bloody drug war in several regions, Central and South Americans already in the city or on the way, and those whom the United States continues to expel daily.
“It’s our duty to provide humanitarian attention to people arriving at this border. We work with allies that include all three levels of government (in Mexico), the United Nations, local and international NGOs,” he said. “Our primary duty is to provide them shelter – a place to stay – and also medical and mental health screenings.”
Meantime, Myrna and Julio Flores hope to finally soon have a chance to state their case and flee the violence in El Salvador and Mexico. “Our hope is that at least they let us apply for asylum in the United States. Most of us are on the run, running from problems because our countries are too conflictive,” Julio said. | https://www.myhighplains.com/border-report/at-least-10000-in-juarez-waiting-for-title-42-rollback-chance-at-u-s-asylum/ | 2022-04-01T02:04:45Z |
Which Sony soundbar is best?
The best Sony soundbar for you depends on many factors, though it’s hard to go wrong with such a trusted brand. Sony offers a range of soundbars, so most buyers can find one to accommodate their budget and needs. Still, some find it daunting to sift through the various speaker options available, especially if they don’t know what they’re looking for.
The Sony HT-A5000 Soundbar offers superior audio, and it works great with voice-command systems like Alexa and Google Assistant.
What to know before you buy a Sony soundbar
Other audio and video devices
Soundbars are commonly used as the primary speaker for television audio or as central speakers for a complete home theater system. Those looking to buy a Sony soundbar will need to consider what other audio and video hardware they plan to use with the soundbar. Even if you aren’t adding your soundbar to a home theater system with other speakers, they’re compatible with nearly all Sony speakers, letting you upgrade later if you want.
Audio formats
Soundbars can vary in what audio formats they support. Support for high-resolution audio formats is a must if you’re hoping to get the best possible sound out of your speakers. The two most common and highest-resolution audio formats to look out for are Dolby Atmos and DTS: X. However, each of the companies also offers lower-quality versions of the formats.
Soundbar bundles with other speakers
Many buying a soundbar prefer to bundle it with other speakers to achieve surround sound. You can purchase soundbars with a full surround sound setup or find bundles with just a soundbar and a subwoofer.
What to look for in a quality Sony soundbar
Connectivity
When buying any soundbar, it’s crucial to make sure the one you choose has the connections you need for your TV or other audio hardware. Different connections on soundbars can vary, with some more common than others.
- HDMI: Many soundbars include HDMI ports with audio capabilities. Soundbars are commonly used with TVs, making HDMI ports the most common connection type.
- RCA component: If you’re using an older TV or device, you may require a soundbar with RCA component cables or analog video cables. These aren’t as common as HDMI outputs, though they’re not impossible to find.
- USB: Some soundbars may include USB ports for playing audio from flash drives, computers or other USB sources.
- Optical digital: Optical digital ports let users connect devices like TVs, Blu-ray players and more and are relatively common on soundbars.
- Bluetooth: The most common type of wireless connection included on soundbars is Bluetooth. Some soundbars feature Bluetooth connectivity, but not all of them — so it’s vital to double-check the product listing before you buy if you hope to listen to audio via Bluetooth.
- Wi-Fi: Some soundbars include Wi-Fi connectivity, making them easy to connect to with a wide range of wireless internet-compatible devices.
If you’ll use your soundbar with a specific device, you’ll need to ensure the soundbar supports the device’s connections.
Size
The size of your media stand may limit which soundbars you can use. Soundbars can vary in size, so it’s essential to measure the width of the surface you plan to put them on.
Modes and other features
Many soundbars include sound modes for optimizing audio quality based on the media you’re using. For example, many have sound modes like voice, game or movie modes, which will equalize audio to bring out the best in the given media. You can also find other audio features on soundbars, often including equalization, automatic room tuning and low-latency settings.
How much you can expect to spend on a Sony soundbar
Cheap Sony soundbars may cost as little as $100. You can expect to spend $130-$1,500 on mid-tier or high-end soundbars.
Sony soundbar FAQ
Are Sony soundbars compatible with Samsung TVs?
A. Sony’s soundbars are compatible with most Samsung TVs. Some buyers have reported issues using the Sony app with their Samsung TVs, though that doesn’t necessarily prevent them from using the two brands together.
Do Sony soundbars offer true surround sound without other speakers?
A. The only way to achieve true surround sound is through a 5.1- or 7.1-channel speaker setup. These speaker setups use several speakers to achieve surround sound, including a soundbar, subwoofer and other mid- and high-frequency speakers.

Silverado Trail did not exist until well into the 20th century.
It did ultimately become a permanent road from Napa up the valley to Calistoga, but it did not happen in 1852. In 1899 the road was marginally passable only as far as St. Helena. In 1921 the Silverado Trail received its moniker, but another two decades passed until completion.
Support local news coverage and the people who report it by subscribing to the Napa Valley Register.
Our story begins in 1852. Seasonal rains had again flooded the main valley road (now Highway 29). It was decided to begin cutting out the age-old Indian trail to the east. This trail itself did not traverse the 30 miles from lower to upper valley, and it could only be cut in short roads, making it unreliable, but it was believed to be the best alternative. The Indian trail was also susceptible to winter floods but was at a slightly higher elevation. The road was narrow dirt and rock but would better assist transportation and commerce, especially for the scores of families anxious for a good mine-find on Mount St. Helena, as well as farmers wanting to take advantage of the area’s rich soil. It became known as “the Old Back Road” or the “East Road.”

Later in the 19th century, the Old Back Road had become a well-traveled route but only went Upvalley as far as Rutherford. The road was interrupted time and again, then would re-begin in another mile or so. By 1899 the road had made its way to St. Helena. (Note: Paved or broken stone sections stopping and starting don’t show up until circa 1936; later maps circa 1940s show the Trail the same all the way to Calistoga.)
Even though the Old Back Road was not a passable thoroughfare from down to upper valley areas, at an April 1921 meeting of the members of the Soda Canyon Farm Center it was decided that a referendum was in order to give the “Old Back Road” a proper name. Farm Centers and district Chambers up and down the valley submitted suggestions and the voting began. Those names included Silverado Trail (which took an early lead), Yajome Road, Valley View Road, East Side Dr., Morning Side Drive, Sunward Way and Foothill Road.
Not all Chambers responded with votes but Calistoga did, per an article in the St. Helena Star onMay 6, 1921: “Our argument in favor of the name Silverado Trail is mainly that almost any other locality could have the other names submitted, but historically the word 'Silverado' seems so associated with our own valley that that name seems to us most appropriate.”
Silverado Trail won the contest hands-down. Results were submitted to the Napa County Board of Supervisors, and on May 27, 1921, the Silverado Trail was born.
The importance of the name Silverado is two-fold. First, the Silverado Mine on the east flank of Mount St. Helena, established 1872, was believed to be so prolific that a town of the same name was being built around the mine area. With stores, homes and hotels, construction was quick and earnest, and the population was estimated at 1,000 inhabitants. Unfortunately the mine panned out for one reason or another and about three years later the town was dismantled piece by piece, its lumber returned to Calistoga for resale and the mine abandoned.
Second, in 1880, Robert Louis Stevenson and his new wife Fanny Osborne traveled to Calistoga to spend their honeymoon. They stayed first at a Brannan cottage at the original Springs grounds (this same cottage is now part of the Sharpsteen Museum).
Wanting to stay longer but unable to afford the $10.00/week, a local merchant suggested they go up onto Mt. St. Helena to camp at the abandoned Silverado Mine. They did so and spent a few weeks on the mountain, traveling up and down, meeting new people and experiencing Calistoga.
Based on this 1880 visit, Stevenson wrote “Silverado Squatters: Sketches from a Californian Mountain,” the book so titled because they were “squatting on the Silverado mine.” RLS later began writing "Treasure Island" in 1881-82 while in Bournemouth, England. Local lore tells us his description of Spy Glass Hill is based upon his reminisces of Mount St. Helena.

Last season, Horn was the lone Mesquite ISD softball team to earn a playoff berth, and if the season ended today, history will have repeated itself, as the Jaguars are currently the only MISD team in a postseason position.
However, Tuesday only marked the halfway point of the playoff race, meaning there are plenty of twists and turns that are yet to come during the next three weeks.
Horn (3-3) actually had a bye on Tuesday, coming off a 10-0 loss to undefeated Rockwall (6-0) last Friday.
In the Jaguars’ previous game, a 12-1 win over Skyline, Sophia Garcia struck out 14 over six-innings as she threw a no-hitter in the win. Miranda Salinas went 3-for-4 with four RBIs and Liana Paz was 4-for-4 with three runs batted in.
Garcia, a sophomore who was a first-team all-district pick a year ago, and Irella Bautista have each logged innings on the mound.
Salinas, a junior who was an honorable mention pick a year ago, has been solid at the plate, as have senior Jadyn Julka and Taylor Johnson, both of whom were second-teamers last season, as well as Lauren Carrasco, Storm Medina, Marissa Cordona and A’Mya York.
Mesquite dropped to 2-4 after a 15-0 loss to Tyler Legacy on Tuesday.
The Skeeters do have reasons for optimism going forward.
Junior utility player Marissa Roman, last year’s 10-6A newcomer of the year, has picked up where she left off.
First-team senior Hunter Gilmore is having another solid season, senior Kiana Beasley was a second-team pick last year and they have also gotten contributions from Alyssa Sornia, Madison Reinhart, Tatum Burton, Jazelle Hernandez and Isabella Casarez, while Briana Santamaria has logged the most innings on the mound.
North Mesquite dropped to 1-5 after a 15-0 loss to Rockwall on Tuesday.
The Stallions feature one of the best hitters in junior Gabrielle Briones, last year’s 10-6A offensive player of the year.
Among the other contributors thus far for North Mesquite are senior Arianna Cottrel, juniors Abigail Hernandez, Reagan Davis and Kaitlyn Muphree, sophomores Makiya Myles and Alia Perrin-Adams and freshman Alia Camargo.
Rockwall shared the district championship with Rockwall-Heath last season, but appear to be on a mission to win it outright this year, as it has outscored its opponents by a combined score of 73-3 in six games.
Sophomore Ainsley Pemberton was voted as the pitcher of the year as a freshman and has been a dominant arm. Pemberton has posted a 12-0 record with a 1.47 earned run average and 123 strikeouts and only 14 walks in 71.2 innings.
Reigning district most valuable player senior Elizabeth Schaefer is in the running for the award once again, as she is hitting .491 with two home runs, five doubles, five triples and 27 RBIs.
Junior Roxy Thompson his hitting .525 with 24 runs batted in and a team-high 30 runs scored and sophomore Ava Wallace has provided average and power, batting .460 with six doubles, six home runs and 30 RBIs.
Freshman Riley Swindall has provided an immediate impact with a .509 average and four triples, as has fellow freshman Presley Brott, who is hitting .432 with six doubles.
Senior leader Ashley Minor is doing her job with a .425 clip and 21 runs batted in and junior Zoe Quinn (.447, 10 RBIs), senior Logan Nies (.292) and sophomore Laci Larsen (.317) are other key parts of the lineup.
Tyler Legacy is right behind Rockwall in the standings after its win over Mesquite on Tuesday.
The Raiders have one of the top arms in the district in Presley Johnson, who recently struck out 10 in a shutout effort over North Mesquite.
Johnson is also a key bat at the plate along with Maddie Flanery, Brooke Davis, Reese Neely, Maddie Carillo and Haylee Hulsey.
Rockwall-Heath currently sits in third place with a 4-2 mark, as it looks to make a charge up the standings.
The Hawks returned a number of standouts from last year’s team, including catcher of the year Kailee Isaac-Bautista.
Senior Danielle Gillean, a first-teamer last year, is hitting .455 with three home runs, seven doubles and a team-high 27 RBIs.
Junior Emmy Apodaca is having a big year, batting .571 with six home runs, eight triples, five doubles, 29 runs scored and 20 runs driven in.
Peyton Young, another first-teamer, is hitting .487 with three triples and a pair of home runs and junior Kelsey Fox has a .386 average with four doubles and two home runs.
The 10-6A slate is scheduled to resume on Friday with a couple of big games. Horn hosts North Mesquite, with the Stallions trying to shake up the race for the final playoff berth, while Rockwall takes on Rockwall-Heath, looking to solidify its hold on the top spot. | https://starlocalmedia.com/mesquitenews/sports/at-the-turn-mesquite-isd-softball-teams-look-to-make-a-push-in-10-6a/article_2c9cbf52-b153-11ec-9dd1-73667a0a0af5.html | 2022-04-01T02:04:45Z |
Members of the Mount Vernon Fire Department, City of Mount Vernon and Mount Vernon-Lisbon Police Department were honored for their lifesaving efforts Friday, Feb. 18, at the Monday, March 21, city council meeting.
Mount Vernon-Lisbon Police officer Jeff Frankfurt, Mount Vernon fire department members assistant chief Derek Boren, fire captain Mehrdad Zarifkar, Jayden Casey, Tim Keegan, Mark Krob, Todd Weaver, Cliff Weaver, Peter Weber and City of Mount Vernon crew Eldon Downs, Matt Plotz, Dean Smyth, Donnie Feddersen and Dustin Burnett earned lifesaving awards from the City of Mount Vernon at the ceremony.
The members of the numerous departments were being commended for lifesaving measures taken at a grain bin in rural Mount Vernon.
“I was the guy whose life you saved that day,” said Jared Youngblut, of Lisbon, holding back tears. “From the bottom of my heart, my wife, and my three sons, thank you so much.”
Allan Mallie, one of the other men saved from the grain, had done the math on the amount of grain firefighters and crews were dealing with. The elevator stored 50,000 bushels of grain, with a bushel weighing 56 pounds.
“That was roughly 1,400 tons of grain that was inside that bin and flowing down on top of us,” Mallie said. “The community of volunteers and first responders was more powerful than that.”
Shaun Lambertsen of Martelle, another of the four men buried in the grain, spoke about the experience.
“I saw God’s fingers everywhere in the lifesaving measures taken at the grain bin that day,” Lambertsen said. “From those first responders who arrived and contacted emergency services, to the firefighters from several communities who helped unbury us.”
Lambertsen remembered that he had been reassured by a firefighter he knew as they were digging him out of the grain that everything would be okay, and that reassurance and face he knew was what truly helped him get through the ordeal.
Police chief Doug Shannon recounted the experience from first responders. Police officer Jeff Frankfurt was the first emergency responder who arrived upon scene, and climbed into the corn pile to help assist two of the men who were trying to rescue Mallie and Youngblut buried deeper in the grain.
The Mount Vernon firefighters who arrived started setting up barricades around the buried victims to help reduce the continual flow of grain onto them, and allow the crews to start work. Within minutes of arrival, Lambertsen and Matt Hayek were both rescued from the grain.
By 10:05 a.m., roughly 35 minutes after crews arrived, Mallie was rescued from the grain.
Crews were able to get to Youngblut’s face, and chose to connect him to a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to help him maintain oxygen and breath as crews continued to dig him out.
After 75 minutes on scene, all four men were successfully extricated. Youngblut was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“If not for the quick actions and resiliency of Mount Vernon-Lisbon Police Officer Jeff Frankfurt, Linn County Sheriff’s deputies, Mount Vernon Fire Department volunteers, Lisbon Fire Department volunteers, public works employees of Lisbon and Mount Vernon, along with numerous other emergency responders from several other agencies working the scene, it is very likely the man most severely entrapped would not have survived this incident,” Shannon said. “Because of their actions in this incident, I am awarding Officer Jeff Frankfurt with the Life Saving commendation award for the act of saving a life on February 18.”
Fire chief Nathan Goodlove said that the firefighters’ training for grain bin rescues was important in this rescue, as was the immediacy of response from several additional agencies.
“I have to commend the public works crews in Mount Vernon that when we made a call out for a skidloader, they didn’t even question, but were en route to our location,” Goodlove said. “That fleet of city vehicles really helped with moving the grain.”
Boren, who served as incident commander during the lifesaving event, commended the response from crews from so many neighboring towns.
“Everywhere I looked that day, I had well trained individuals in large numbers I could direct to help us with digging these men out of the corn or what needed to be done,” Boren said. “The support from community members as well, providing items in the rescue efforts was needed.” | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/mvlsun/mount-vernon-first-responders-honored/article_fa95639b-7cef-5c46-81a4-3c0f2a8cca87.html | 2022-04-01T02:04:45Z |

Beware the mailbox that dares anger a bull on the loose, for as the saying goes: you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Body camera video from a police officer shows the moment a 9-month-old bull named "Butch" on the loose laid waste to such a mailbox in Stafford Township after escaping from a local farm Wednesday.
“Officer Pascale was not amooooosed when he got dispatched to this call on Hilliard Ave today,” the Stafford Township Police Department posted on its Facebook page.
After a quick lick – perhaps to try and sense its fear through taste – the video shows the bull hooking the mailbox from underneath with its horn and yanking it up off the ground, along with the post it was attached to.
It turns out mailboxes are not cut out to be matadors. Who knew?
The officer, parked next to the bovine, can be heard chuckling as he calls someone. “She’s busy assaulting a mailbox right now,” the officer says.
Stafford Township police Capt. Jim Vaughn called it a “great escape” and said the roughly year-old bull got loose – along with several pigs and a goat – through a gate that was not properly secured.
U.S. & World
After a while, animal control arrived and managed to secure the bull by enticing it with food, Vaughn said.
Despite the video also showing the bull darting through the front yard of a house, the only property damage done was to the mailbox, Vaughn added.
On Thursday the bull was taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Sussex County, New Jersey, where he'll have much more room to roam.
"He'll be fantastic," Mike Stura of Skylands told NBC10. "He's nice as it is. You know. He was playing with that mailbox. That was just playing. He wasn't mad."
The bull's owner, Veronica Tkaczuk, told NBC10 she rescued Butch when he was just weeks old so he wouldn't be raised for slaughter.
"It's a little sad but I know that he's getting to like, he's so strong," she said. "He's so big and so strong and I would hate for something bad to happen." | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/watch-bull-on-the-loose-in-nj-town-lays-waste-to-mailbox/2752323/ | 2022-04-01T02:04:45Z |

Why Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Could Be Worth Watching
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Microsoft’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.
See our latest analysis for Microsoft
What's the opportunity in Microsoft?
Good news, investors! Microsoft is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $475.06, but it is currently trading at US$314 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Microsoft’s share price is theoretically quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to move to its intrinsic value, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
Can we expect growth from Microsoft?
Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by 45% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Microsoft. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Since MSFT is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on MSFT for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy MSFT. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
If you'd like to know more about Microsoft as a business, it's important to be aware of any risks it's facing. While conducting our analysis, we found that Microsoft has 1 warning sign and it would be unwise to ignore it.

BANGKOK – A report by the World Wildlife Fund shows illegal purchases of wildlife online are growing in Myanmar in a threat both to public health and to endangered species.
The report released Friday found that enforcement of bans on such transactions has weakened amid political turmoil following a 2021 military takeover.
The number of such dealings rose 74% over a year earlier to 11,046, nearly all of them involving sales of live animals. For the 173 species traded, 54 are threatened with global extinction, the report said.
Researchers identified 639 Facebook accounts belonging to wildlife traders. The largest online trading group had more than 19,000 members and dozens of posts per week, it said.
The animals bought and sold included elephants, bears and gibbons, Tibetan antelope, critically endangered pangolins and an Asian giant tortoise. The most popular were various species of monkeys, often bought as pets.
Most of the animals advertised for sale were taken from the wild. They also included civets, which along with pangolins have been identified as potential vectors in the spread of diseases such as SARS and COVID-19.
Shaun Martin, who heads the WWF's Asia-Pacific regional cybercrime project, said monitoring of the online wildlife trade shows different species being kept close together, sometimes in the same cage.
“With Asia’s track record as a breeding ground for many recent zoonotic diseases, this sharp uptick in online trade of wildlife in Myanmar is extremely concerning,” he said.
The unregulated trade in wild species and resulting interactions between wild species and humans raise the risks of new and possibly vaccine-resistant mutations of illnesses such as the COVID-19 that could evolve undetected in non-human hosts into more dangerous variants of disease, experts say.
COVID-19 is one of many diseases traced back to animals. The killing and sale of what is known as bushmeat in Africa was thought to be a source for Ebola. Bird flu likely came from chickens at a market in Hong Kong in 1997. Measles is believed to have evolved from a virus that infected cattle.
“Illegal wildlife trade is a serious concern from the point of view of biodiversity preservation and conservation and its potential impact on health security," said Mary Elizabeth G. Miranda, an expert on zoonotic diseases and illness and CEO of the Field Epidemiology Training Program Alumni Foundation in the Philippines.
Social media and other online platforms have joined a worldwide effort to crack down on the thriving trade in birds, reptiles, mammals and animal parts. In Myanmar, much of the trade in wildlife is through Facebook, which as a member of the Coalition to End Wildlife Trafficking online has taken action to block or remove accounts of people engaged in such transactions.
But as is true elsewhere, new accounts often pop up just as soon as old ones are shut down, hindering enforcement, the report noted. Easy online access to the animals also is driving up demand, worsening the problem.
Discussions of purchases of protected species often took place in open Facebook groups, suggesting that such dealings remain “largely risk-free,” the report said. Since payments and deliveries often are done using messenger apps, controlling the problem is doubly difficult.
Highlighting the lack of enforcement, people in the illegal wildlife trade in Myanmar often use rudimentary methods of moving the animals and animal products around — with buses being the usual form of transport.
The study by WWF in Myanmar focused on trade online of animals and other creatures inside the country, though there were some imports from neighboring Thailand, mainly of birds such as hornbills and salmon crested cockatoos, and of crocodiles, to India.
Some deals might involve animals or parts being sent into China, it said.
The conservation group said it plans future studies to better understand Myanmar’s role in the global trade in endangered species. | https://www.clickondetroit.com/tech/2022/03/31/wwf-report-says-online-wildlife-trade-on-rise-in-myanmar/ | 2022-04-01T02:04:48Z |

As Amit Shah embarks on two-day visit to Karnataka, BJP denies mulling over leadership change: Sources
By ANI | Published: April 1, 2022 07:22 AM2022-04-01T07:22:26+5:302022-04-01T07:30:02+5:30
As Union Home Minister Amit Shah embarked on his two-day visit to Karnataka which is scheduled to go to Assembly polls next year, top BJP sources said that the party does not succumb to any pressure and is not mulling any change of leadership ahead of the crucial elections.
As Union Home Minister Amit Shah embarked on his two-day visit to Karnataka which is scheduled to go to Assembly polls next year, top BJP sources said that the party does not succumb to any pressure and is not mulling any change of leadership ahead of the crucial elections.
Shah arrived at the HAL airport in Bengaluru on Thursday late at night and was received by Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and other leaders of the state.
The Home Minister will pay his tributes to Late Sree Sree Sree Sivakumara Swami on his 115th birth anniversary celebrations at Siddaganga Math at around 10.50 am. He will also attend other programmes in the state including the Foundation stone laying of the 200-bedded hospital in Sathya Sai Grama in Muddenahalli at around 2.20 pm, according to the Home Ministry.
Shah will also attend Karnataka State Cooperative Conference at around 4 pm in Bengaluru Palace.
Notably, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visit the Siddaganga Math on Thursday during his two-day visit to the state to "strengthen the party".
Also slated later in the day is a meeting with a BJP core group of the state.
The meeting assumes a lot of significance given the fact that there have been several rounds of speculations that there could be a change of leadership in the state including the Chief Minister as well as the party president.
Top sources in the BJP, while speaking to ANI, rubbished any possibility of a change of leadership in the state.
"There is no question of change of leadership in the state... The president (Nalin Kateel) has been given a term and he will definitely complete that," said the sources.
On the talks doing the round regarding the possible change of guard for Chief Minister, another source said that there will not be a change of Chief Minister under any pressure.
"This is BJP and not any other party and we do not change any Chief Minister under pressure... Bommai is a very experienced politician and a capable Chief Minister," said the source.
Home Minister Amit Shah will be participating in the core group meeting along with BJP general secretary Arun Singh who is in charge of Karnataka.

A national 24-hour Indian Residential School Crisis Line is available to support survivors and those affected. You can access emotional and crisis support referral services by calling 1-866-925-4419.
The Nadleh Whut’en First Nation in northern B.C. outlined priorities such as an apology from Pope Francis amid discussions at the Vatican in a statement to the press on Wednesday (March 30).
Nadleh Whut’en representatives are part of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) delegation to the Vatican alongside more than 100 First Nations people from across Canada including residential school survivors, elders, youth and support staff.
Nadleh Whut’en is calling on the Pope to visit the site of the former Lejac Indian Residential School to “further discuss reparations and a better path forward” as part of an apology for the role the Catholic Church played in the residential school system in Canada.
The school was operated by the Catholic Church under contract with the Canadian government from when it opened in 1922 until 1976. First Nations say hundreds of their children were forced to attend Lejac, many never to return home.
Nadleh Whut’en Chief Larry Nooski said the Catholic Church “has yet to apologize, compensate or meaningfully support reconciliation” with Nadleh Whut’en and more than 70 B.C. First Nation communities that had their children taken to Lejac.
“This meeting with Pope Francis, to witness an apology, is a historic moment for Nadleh Whut’en and other First Nations from across Canada,” Nooski wrote.
“Many survivors of the Lejac Indian Residential School carry pain and suffering as a result of abuse from priests and nuns at the school.”
Nadleh Whut’en delegates Eleanor Nooski and Tanya Stump said they will prioritize the return of stolen artifacts and access to Vatican archives.

The First Nation is also seeking for Rose Prince to be officially recognized as a saint. Prince died in 1949 of tuberculosis. Since 1990, the devout have held pilgrimages to her grave at Lejac where Father Joules Goulet’s prayers and anointments are said to heal the chronically injured.
The First Nation said discussions with the Catholic Church must also include the “rejection and retraction” of the “doctrine of discovery.” Papal laws gave license to explorers to claim terra nullius [vacant land] in the name of their sovereign and defined “vacant” as not populated by Christians.
Nadleh Whut’en Chief and Council offered prayers and support for all delegates to the Vatican saying the First Nation continue will continue to seek justice, restitution and apology for the harms committed by the Catholic Church to their children.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Gov. Ron DeSantis floated the idea Thursday of changing Florida law to revoke the Walt Disney Company’s right of self-rule in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the Florida-based seat of the Magic Kingdom.
In the days since DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, which opponents call the “Don’t Say Gay” law, opposition to the legislation by Disney has provoked talk of using state legislation to take away the company’s ability to self-govern its lands. Disney first got the right of legal self-control in 1967, with passage of the Reedy Creek Improvement Act.
According to historical documents from the Reedy Creek Improvement District, then-Florida Gov. Claude Kirk signed the RCID Act into law in May 1967, creating two municipalities: Bay Lake and Reedy Creek, which was later renamed Lake Buena Vista. The location, nestled between Orange and Osceola counties, would later become the site where Walt Disney World was built.
The RCID Charter created a 25,000-acre of land as a special taxing district. At the time, it was considered remote and uninhabitable, but now is the site of one of the busiest theme parks in the United States.
To make Disney’s plan happen, the area had to get special privileges from the state of Florida to essentially run itself.
“In 1967, the Florida State legislature, working with Walt Disney World Company, created a special taxing district – called the Reedy Creek Improvement District – that would act with the same authority and responsibility as a county government,” RCID says on its website.
Enter an era of the Magic Kingdom living a life of self-determination and self-rule.
Now, following the company’s public opposition to HB 1557, DeSantis and other state lawmakers have said they’re considering revoking that charter through a repeal of the RCIA, potentially ending Disney’s right to rule in Central Florida.
State Representative Spencer Roach, R-Fort Myers, tweeted on March 30 that he met with colleagues for a second time to discuss repeal of the decades-old law. In Ponte Vedra Beach on Thursday, DeSantis said he wanted to repeal it but not just over the current political fight, and not just the privilege that Disney currently enjoys.
The governor’s words are reminiscent of the state’s 2021 “Big Tech Censorship Crackdown,” in which a law was passed to allow lawsuits against companies like Facebook and Twitter over banning political candidates and equating it to a fight over free speech.
In his speech in Ponte Vedra Beach, DeSantis said the point was to take away the power of “woke” corporations from interfering in Florida politics.
“I would not say that would be retaliatory. The way I view it is there are certain entities that have exerted a lot of influence through corporate means to generate special privileges in the law. I don’t think we should have special privileges in the law at all,” DeSantis said. “Some of these things have developed over the years. I had to deal with this last year, when we passed a law last year to protect Floridians from big tech censorship. The idea was to let them be able to sue under the ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act,’ protect political candidates from being de-platformed, stuff that was good. And it’s being litigated in the courts, which we knew it would. But at the 11th hour, the Legislature slips in a provision in that law that said ‘If you operate a theme park, it doesn’t apply to you.’ And that was meant solely to protect Disney.”
DeSantis said when the provision was added, he had to decide whether to veto the bill and “throw the baby out with the bath water” or allow it to become law as-is, with the protection for theme parks. To be clear, Disney is not the only theme park in Florida. Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Legoland, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove are all in the state, to name a few.
DeSantis claims he isn’t just targeting Disney over his administration’s current disagreements with the company.
“I don’t think it’s retaliatory, I just think that Disney’s posturing has alienated a lot of people now. And so, the political influence they’re used to wielding, I think has dissipated, so the question is ‘Why would you want to have special privileges in the law, at all?'” DeSantis said. “And I don’t think that we should. But it’s not a matter of acting like those were really great policies. I think that those were policies over decades that were embedded in Florida’s law, largely because they wielded a lot of influence. I think because they’ve been able to do that over the years, I think that’s why they’ve gotten so, that’s one of the reasons they’ve got so far over their skis on this parental rights stuff.”
He said he thinks Disney is used to getting their way, and not having lawmakers stop them. DeSantis said he thinks that’s different now.
“They’re not used to having people that will stand in their way and say ‘Actually, the state of Florida’s going to be governed by the best interests of its people in Florida,” DeSantis said. “We’re certainly not going to bend a knee to woke executives in California. That is not the way the state is going to be run.”
Other than the “big tech carve-out” from 2021, he said he’s never given Disney anything while he’s been governor. DeSantis said he wanted to “reevaluate any special privileges of the law,” not just Disney’s. | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/national/florida-gop-considers-revoking-disney-worlds-right-to-self-rule-over-dont-say-gay-opposition/ | 2022-04-01T02:04:51Z |
Eighth grader Edith Dawson will be participating in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May in Washington, D.C., after placing first at a regional spelling competition in middle of March.
Mount Vernon eighth-grader Edith Dawson will be advancing to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C., May 31 through June 2.
Dawson was the winner of the Dispatch-Argus Regional Spelling Bee held Saturday, March 19, in Rock Island.
Dawson said during the competition, she had spelled 14 words correctly in the competition before getting the final word correct.
She said that work is now beginning from now until May to work on additional spelling word review to prepare for the national competition.
“My mom [Erica] helped quiz me on words in preparation of the regional competition,” Dawson said. “I’ll continue to study more words, especially their definitions and pronunciation of words to help me in the National bee.”
She said she is excited to be representing Mount Vernon at the National level of the spelling bee.
Dawson is the second student from Mount Vernon schools to ever advance to the national competition.
She is also not a neophyte to spelling bee competitions, as she and her family participated in the Lisbon Library’s spelling bee competitions when they’ve been held pre-COVID.
Outside of spelling, Dawson said she likes to read, as it’s a great way to build a vocabulary.
She’s also a member of the Middle School Science Olympiad and Math Olympiad teams, and will be participating in track and field this fall. She plays violin and piano as instruments. She’s also an junior member of the Mount Vernon Historic Preservation Commission.
“I really need to thank all of my teachers for helping me,” Dawson said. “Also, my parents and my little brothers have helped as well. I’m really honored to be representing Mount Vernon. There’s pressure because I’m only the second person to do this, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent Mount Vernon in the spelling bee.” | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/mvlsun/mount-vernon-student-advancing-to-national-spelling-bee/article_94ef4719-ea9e-5600-a909-3385fb694fef.html | 2022-04-01T02:04:51Z |
Woman transforms her home's facade using buys off Facebook marketplace - with stunning results
- Couple show off the trendy transformation they completed on their home facade
- They used bargain buys from Facebook Market place to finish the front space
- The couple self installed travertine tiles and a rock feature wall to save money
- Then they painted the front of the house, added minimalistic plants and decor
A young woman has revealed hos she and her husband completely transformed the front of their first home using second-hand materials destined for the dump.
Jannah from Caloundra, Queensland, said she trawled Facebook marketplace to make redecorating their home's worn-out facade affordable.
The couple turned their drab, uninviting entrance into a chic masterpiece by using the 'less is more mantra' and removing their plants, wooden walkway and pond.
Jannah, picked up the travertine tiles from Facebook Marketplace as they were leftovers from a big renovation project and says they were the 'best bargain ever'.
A woman has shown off the stunning transformation her and her husband completed on their home facade with bargain buys from Facebook marketplace
The couple laid the tiles themselves with tile glue and 'great patience' according to Jannah, as they didn't want to pay for professional installation.
'It would have cost $5000 to pay them to install. That was not an option for us,' she wrote.
The couple also self installed the effective, yet minimalistic quartz and limestone rock wall to add a feature element to the front area.

The 'Linosa' rocks came attached with a flat back surface that Jannah and her husband lathered with tile glue and stuck firmly onto the side of the wall.
They painted the exterior walls and window frames with the shades 'snowy mountain half' and 'sunmist', then sanded back the front door ready for paint.
Matching paint was applied to the front door and decorative features were added such as pebbles, a row of Mother's In Law Tongue, pot plants and a bench seat.

Which telescope is best?
Staring up at the night sky, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with the sheer size of the galaxy. There are millions of things to look at, but you need the right equipment. If you’ve already started to peer at objects with binoculars, it might be time to upgrade to a telescope.
The right telescope for you largely depends on what you want to study, but the Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ is an excellent gadget to get you going. It’s easy to use and powerful enough to see every little detail.
What to know before you buy a telescope
Kinds of telescopes
When most people think of a telescope, they imagine a long tube with an eyeglass at one end. These typical models are called refractor telescopes and are only one type of many. The other popular choice is a reflector telescope, which gathers light through a mirror. There are also compound telescopes, which are wider than others. No matter the telescope type, you’re going to need a telescope bag to safely store and carry it.
The aperture determines what you can see
A telescope’s aperture is one of the most important components. Simply put, the aperture is how large the mirror is on the inside, which is directly related to how much light it can gather. The more light it gathers, the better the details and you can see fainter objects. The aperture is measured in millimeters, and you typically need larger mirrors depending on the surrounding light.
More darkness increases your enjoyment
The best conditions for using a telescope are in an area that has very little light pollution. For example, in a suburban neighborhood, you won’t see as many stars and galaxies as you would in an open field far away from the city. The size of the aperture can only help you up to a point, after which you might need to go somewhere else for viewing — or invest in a bigger aperture.
What to look for in a quality telescope
Lens and magnification accessories
Looking through a telescope lens is exciting, but you often want to see things in greater detail. Look for a telescope that has a variety of eyepieces and accessories. The most common eyepiece you’ll find is the Barlow lens for three-times magnification and the Infinity eyepiece. There are also eyepiece adapters that increase the magnification of the Barlow lens to 120x.
Automated Go-To feature
It’s always a good idea to study the night sky where you live. Make sure that you know which galaxies are where and you can identify the brightest stars. Luckily, you don’t have to pore over maps to see planets and formations; a good-quality telescope should have an automated Go-To feature. Through a handheld remote, you tell the telescope what you want to look at, and after a short calibration, it will automatically turn to align itself with the object.
Phone attachment and Bluetooth remote
It’s a great experience to look at distant planets or even our moon, but it’s more fun if you can take pictures of it, and a quality telescope may have a mobile phone attachment. It looks similar to a car holder, where the device is held in place over the eyepiece. By using the device’s default camera (and to reduce shaking), a Bluetooth remote will trigger the camera to snap a photo of the celestial body.
How much you can expect to spend on a telescope
The average price of a telescope can vary wildly depending on its capabilities and functions. An entry-level or kids’ telescope can retail for $40-$50, while an amateur telescope can retail for $100-$200. Much larger professional telescopes retail for $1,000-$2,000.
Telescope FAQ
Do you need to know where the stars are before using a telescope?
A. Not necessarily, but it will certainly be advantageous. If your telescope can track objects or automatically point toward them, the work is done for you, but if your telescope doesn’t have the function, it’s helpful to at least know where the brightest and most popular objects are.
Do telescopes require batteries to operate?
A. For the most part, they don’t. There are no electronic parts inside the telescope tube or eyepiece. If you’re looking at a model that has auto-tracking and a remote, you’ll need to insert rechargeable batteries into the controller.

Report: Manu Ginobili, four others to be inducted into Basketball Hall of Fame originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Basketball Hall of Fame is getting at least five new members.
Manu Ginobili, Tim Hardaway, Swin Cash, George Karl and Bob Huggins will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2022, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
It's unclear if those are the only 2022 finalists who have been voted in. Lindsay Whalen, Michael Cooper, Marques Johnson, Leta Andrews, Marianne Stanley and Hugh Evans were the other finalists this year.
The Class of 2022 will be formally announced at the Final Four of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in New Orleans on Saturday.
Ginobili is the lone first-ball inductee in the Class of 2022. A second-round pick of the Spurs in 1999, Ginobili was a key member of four championship teams in San Antonio. He logged 1,057 career games in the NBA -- all in a Spurs uniform -- but only started in only 349 of them as he established himself as one of the greatest sixth men of all time.
Ginobili was a two-time All-Star, made two All-NBA teams and claimed the 2007-08 Sixth Man of the Year award. He also led Argentina to a gold medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics and a bronze in the 2008 Beijing Games.
Sports
Hardaway made five All-Star teams and five All-NBA teams throughout his 13-year career. The 1989 first-round pick spent most of his time with the Golden State Warriors, as part of the famous Run-TMC teams, and Miami Heat. Hardaway had five seasons where he averaged at least 20 points and eight seasons where he put up at least eight assists per game. He has an Olympic gold medal as well, winning it with Team USA in the 2000 Sydney Games.
Cash was a champion at the college, professional and international levels. She won two national championships at UConn, three WNBA championships (two with the Detroit Shock and one with the Seattle Storm) and two gold medals with Team USA. The No. 2 overall pick of Detroit in 2002, Cash played 15 seasons in the WNBA and was named to four All-Star Games. She won MVP in two of her All-Star appearances.
Karl sits sixth on the NBA's all-time wins list and is one of just 10 head coaches with at least 1,000 career victories. He amassed a 1,175-824 record (.588 winning percentage) over his 27 years as a head coach while working for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Warriors, Seattle SuperSonics, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings. Karl's teams made the playoffs in 22 of his 27 seasons, with the 1995-96 SuperSonics reaching the NBA Finals. He also won Coach of the Year with the Nuggets in 2012-13.
Huggins, who just wrapped up his 37th season as a college head coach at the Division I level, is eighth all time in wins among D-I coaches with 844. He's piled up 21 combined conference championships and 25 NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the Final Four twice. He's spent the last 15 seasons at West Virginia, with Kansas State, Cincinnati and Akron being his previous stops.
The induction ceremony for the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2022 will take place on Sept. 10 in Springfield, Mass. | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/report-manu-ginobili-four-others-to-be-inducted-into-basketball-hall-of-fame/2752306/ | 2022-04-01T02:04:52Z |
New York to miss budget deadline as hot button issues slow negotiations
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Kathy HochulGovernor of New York
- Andrea Stewart-CousinsAmerican politician
New York will not have a finished budget before the deadline of April 1, as lawmakers struggle to find compromise on policy issues like bail reform.
Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said Thursday that the state will have “a timely budget,” and that they’re “making progress” as they work through a number of items, such as bail reform and a deal to build a new Bills stadium, that were not included in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s original budget presentation in January.
“It’s not one sticking point — there’s a lot of issues,” Stewart-Cousins said. “We’re close on a lot of the issues. Is everything locked down? No. But we’re close.”
A spokesperson for Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said Thursday that budget negotiations were ongoing; “We are making progress and continuing to discuss the budget with our members,” the statement read.
Both chambers of the Legislature adjourned Thursday, and aren't scheduled to be back until Monday.
Bail reform, gas tax: 10 issues to watch as New York budget talks continue
More: NY cut a $1.4B stadium deal to keep Bills. Fans, officials divided on if it was worth it
Though the $216.3 billion budget deadline is technically Thursday at midnight, a deal needs to be passed by 4 p.m. Monday to avoid payroll issues for state employees, according to the New York Comptroller’s Office.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is in the unusual position of working with a state surplus, thanks to federal COVID-related aid and high tax revenues. But she’s also wading through a number of high-profile policy quagmires that have overshadowed the budget process.
"This is a critical time in New York's economic recovery, and I am committed to ensuring that our state budget reflects New Yorkers' priorities and tackles the top issues we are facing," Hochul said Thursday, when it was clear the budget wasn't going to meet deadline.
"New Yorkers should know that progress is being made and that we will put in the time it takes to reach an agreement that delivers for them and moves our state forward," she added.
Hochul’s negotiation of the 2022-2023 budget — her first since taking over from former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — comes as she's ramped up her campaign for governor. She'll seek election to a full term in November after taking office last August following Cuomo's resignation amid sexual harassment allegations.
The budget plan Hochul mapped out in January proposed heavy investments in rebuilding the education and health care systems, but sidelined bail reform, wage increases for home care workers and relief for tenants and excluded workers.
Amid higher crime rates plaguing New York’s cities and a looming home-care crisis, advocates and lawmakers have brought some of these back-burner issues to the fore in recent weeks in hopes Hochul would take action.
And in some ways, she has, putting forth a plan that proposed key changes to the bail reform law, passed in 2019. She also solidified a long-awaited deal with the Buffalo Bills this week to build a $1.4 billion stadium and keep the team in Western New York for the next 30 years.
But these measures were introduced late in the budget process, leading to last-minute discussions on their future.
“I wish I could control everything that gets introduced and when it gets introduced – I don’t. When things wind up on our plate, we deal with it,” Stewart-Cousins said Thursday. “We’re responsible for getting a budget that is timely, that balances the interests of the people of New York state and allows for us to continue doing the things that we know are important to make sure New York progresses.”

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization is expected to release guidance on fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccine in early April as public health indicators tick up across Canada.
That’s set to come amid growing concerns about hospital capacity as the country enters what some are characterizing as a sixth wave.
A spokeswoman for the Public Health Agency of Canada said Thursday that the agency expects to publish NACI’s advice on fourth doses in the coming days.
“NACI has been asked for advice on the potential use of second booster doses in elderly populations at higher risk of severe disease. PHAC is expected to publish NACI advice on this in early April,” Anna Maddison said in an email.
NACI previously recommended that people who are “moderately to severely immunocompromised” receive a fourth dose of the vaccine six months after getting their third shot. Earlier this week, U.S. regulators approved a fourth dose for Americans 50 and older if it’s been at least four months since their last vaccination.
The question of extra boosters has become more pressing to some due to concerning public health indicators.
Hospitalizations have started rising in some regions and wastewater trends suggest cases are too, after many provinces ditched their vaccine passports and mask mandates this month.
Some – including officials in Quebec – say the nation is on the precipice of a sixth wave of the pandemic that could once again see hospitals stretched thin.
“At some point we’re going to have to stop putting numbers to (the waves),” said Dr. Susy Hota, an infectious disease specialist and hospital epidemiologist at the University Health Network in Toronto.
“A reality that we’re going to have to get used to is that cases will go up and down. The real question is, what are we willing to do to try and keep them from rising at a pace where we can’t keep up?”
Hota said some COVID-19 patients have been unable to leave the hospital system after developing complications, adding strain to the system that’s not captured in the publicly reported numbers.
“And when you combine all of it with the need to catch up on surgeries and delayed and deferred care of a variety of natures, it’s just a lot for the health-care system to be handling,” she said.
Colin Furness, an epidemiologist and professor at the University of Toronto, said burnout in the health-care field and staff absences due to COVID-19 have made the issue even more challenging.
“We’re hearing really quiet but urgent SOSes from the front line saying, ‘We don’t have this capacity that the government has been saying we have,’” he said.
He urged people to continue wearing masks and take other precautions to safeguard not only their personal health, but also the hospital system.
“‘Everyone take off your mask, and we’ll have a hospital bed when you need it’ is a really bad idea,” Furness said. “First of all, because COVID is not a disease you want. But more importantly, I don’t know if that bed is going to be there.”
The Ontario Hospital Association has noted that hospitalizations are trending upward, with the province reporting 807 patients in hospital with COVID-19 on Thursday, compared to 661 a week earlier.
Farther east, Nova Scotia is reporting strain on its health-care system.
As of Thursday, 786 health workers in that province were off the job because they either have tested positive for COVID-19, are awaiting test results or were exposed to a member of their household who tested positive.
Nova Scotia also reported 53 new hospital admissions for COVID-19 in the past week, with 16 patients discharged and 11 patients in intensive care.
Quebec – which started offering fourth doses to seniors over 80, immunocompromised people and residents of long-term care homes this week – saw 1,238 people hospitalized with the virus Thursday.
Health Minister Christian Dubé said outlying regions in Quebec that were spared when the highly contagious Omicron variant tore through the country are now being hit hard by what he characterized as the pandemic’s sixth wave.
Montreal, for instance, has about 208 cases per 100,000 people. In contrast, Côte-Nord has 750 cases per 100,000 people.
Nonetheless, Dubé said the province doesn’t plan to delay lifting its mask mandate – a move currently set for mid-April – or reintroduce other public health measures.
“There is no reason at the moment … to change the strategy we have, because people have to learn to live with the virus, to continue to protect themselves,” he said.
In Ontario, Health Minister Christine Elliott also said there was no current plan to bring back any COVID-19 measures that were lifted earlier this month despite rising virus trends.
“If we need to take any further measure we will, but so far it doesn’t appear that we need to do that,” she said.
Ontario lifted indoor masking rules in most spaces earlier this month, along with a majority of other measures aimed at limiting spread, like proof-of-vaccination rules and crowd capacity limits.

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
Greenville County Schools announced that attendance on Friday will be optional in order to provide “counseling support for both students and staff.” | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/national/its-going-to-be-hard-to-sleep-south-carolina-student-says-he-was-walking-with-shooter/ | 2022-04-01T02:04:57Z |

A more infectious version of the omicron variant continues to gain traction in Los Angeles County, public health officials said Thursday, March 31. And while that traction has not yet translated into an upwards spike in hospitalizations, it has sparked caution amid the recent slow pace of congressional action vital to battling the disease, officials said.
BA.2 — a more infectious variant of COVID-19 — is on the rise in the county, detected in 32% of COVID infections sequenced during the week of March 12, according to County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.
That doesn’t make it the dominant strain compared to its older sibling, omicron, which raged through the county in January, but it is definitely cause for caution, Ferrer said.
“This is double the percentage that was identified for the prior week (ending March 5),” Ferrer said. “And given that BA.2 is more infectious than the previous omicron strains, we expect that BA.2 now accounts for an even higher proportion of COVID-19 cases in L.A. County.”
As a result, Ferrer asked local residents to be prepared for the possibility that a new variant could provoke additional interventions and mitigation measures. Especially since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated this week that BA.2 is now the dominant variant in the United States.
In the meantime, however, the good news is that as of March 27 only 3% of emergency department encounters have been classified as COVID-related, reflecting a broader, steep decline in hospital admissions due to the disease.
The number of COVID-positive patients in county hospitals fell to 308 on Thursday, down from 325 on Wednesday. The number of those patients being treated in intensive care was 47, down from 51 a day earlier.
But like much in the pandemic era, good news often comes with a caveat. Thursday’s was that the county is beginning to see a leveling off of the declines in COVID case numbers that have marked the past several weeks, with the county now averaging about 660 cases per day.
“The rate of decline has been slower, and this week we’re not seeing any declines in the cases,” Ferrer said.
She said it’s too early to call that leveling-off a “concern,” but she termed it “notable.”
“At some point we knew that it was likely we were going to stop declining,” she said. “We know there’s still transmission. … Personally, I wish we were at a lower level when we’re doing this plateauing, but we have seen a significant decrease, and that’s the good news.”
It’s not unfamiliar territory in a two-year battle with the virus in which public health officials see declining numbers, they lift mandates only to see the numbers hit a baseline and then rise again.
Ferrer noted that the slowing of the decline could be related to the recent lifting of COVID health measures, such as indoor masking requirements. The county on Friday, along with the state, will lift the vaccine or negative-test verification requirement at indoor mega-events, such as sporting events and concerts.
“Every single time we have reduced the restrictions or levels of protection that are required, we have always seen an uptick (in cases),” Ferrer said. “The slowing of the decline can also be seen in some ways as an uptick.”
Los Angeles County Public Health reported 16 deaths due to COVID-19 and 784 new cases, slightly more than the region’s recent average of 600, a number that hasn’t been seen since July 2021, Ferrer said. The county’s rate of 66 new cases per 100,000 people is yet another positive sign of lower transmission.
Still, Ferrer encouraged residents to take steps now to maximize protection against spread of future variants of concern. This includes getting vaccinated, wearing a mask indoors and possibly talking to your provider about Evusheld, a new therapeutic for people 12 years and older.
Los Angeles County this week began offering second booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine, following approval of the additional Pfizer and Moderna shots by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The additional boosters were authorized for people who are age 50 and over, and who received their last booster shot at least four months ago.
Boosters are also available for younger people who are considered immunocompromised and at higher risk of severe illness from the virus.
“The truth is that given the threat of a more infectious virus circulating widely across the county, those who are unvaccinated, those that aren’t up to date on their boosters, those who are immunocompromised, those with underlying health conditions, and those with more exposures at work and in the community are at higher risk of getting infected, hospitalized and even dying,” Ferrer warned. “So taking time now to get vaccinated and boosted not only protects the person that’s going to get vaccinated, but it also reduces the risk of increased transmission across the county.”
To date, nearly three out of four residents ages five and older in L.A. County are fully vaccinated, which is good news. But Ferrer reminded the public that booster coverage remains disappointingly low in some of the county’s hardest hit communities, and these gaps “create a lot of risk.”
And while public health works with its vaccination partners to take steps to speed the pace of vaccination and boosters, Ferrer urged residents who aren’t sure whether they should get a second booster to discuss any questions with their providers.
“But if you are eligible for the second booster dose and you do want to increase your chances of not getting infected with COVID-19, you may want to go ahead and get that second booster dose now,” Ferrer said. “This is a time for everyone to use the tools at hand to increase levels of protection that can decrease personal and community risk.”
Those tools, particularly in low-income communities, where federally funded resources have ensured access to vaccines and to testing. But for weeks, Congress has stalled on measures that would provide fresh COVID-funding and federal reimbursements at local clinics.
Congress is being pressured to provide immediate funding to ensure the continued supply of vaccines, personal protective equipment, and other tools needed in the fight against coronavirus make it to providers of newly approved booster doses.
The Biden administration and other Democrats have warned the government is running out of money to counter the pandemic at a time when a new variant is spreading.
Since the pandemic began, Congress has approved more than $5 trillion to address the economic and health crises it produced.
But only a small fraction of that has been for public health programs like vaccines.
Lawmakers on Thursday appeared close to a deal on a scaled-back bipartisan compromise providing an infusion of $10 billion to combat COVID-19, a deal that could set up final congressional approval next week, according to the Associated Press.
But the slow pace of an agreement has been troubling for local public health experts battline omicon at the same time a new subvariant is gaining strength.
“It really is shameful, in the middle of a pandemic, that we’re all worrying about not having enough money to make sure that those folks with the least resources are going to have good access to what it takes to add on layers of protection from COVID,” Ferrer said . “We should have learned a lot of lessons by now.”

Australian duo Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis have suffered just their second doubles defeat of 2022.
In the Miami Open semi-finals on Friday morning (AEDT), Hubert Hurkacz and John Isner proved too strong as they claimed a 6-4 6-3 win.
Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, who won the Australia Open title in January, were unable to make the most of their first serves throughout the contest and only managed to convert two of five break points.
The semi-final came just hours after the ATP handed Kyrgios a $35,000 fine for his behaviour during his round of 16 singles defeat against Jannik Sinner earlier in the week.
The 26-year-old has now been handed heavy fines at consecutive tournaments with the possibility of a future suspension now looming.
Former American tennis star Andy Roddick weighed in on Kyrgios' recent outburst that centred around chair umpire Carlos Bernardes and believes the Aussie was hard done by but needed to handle the situation better.
"I actually didn't disagree with Nick on why he got the point penalty in the tie-breaker," Roddick told the Tennis Channel.
"Him saying, 'This referee is bad and someone else could do better', I feel he has a valid point there that Carlos, who I like, might have got his feelings hurt.
"That doesn't seem like unsportsmanlike conduct. It seems like ego was in play maybe there.
"But then it's not the reason you're upset, it's your reaction to it.
"Breaking your racket right in his face when you know the umpire's already ticking quickly, he wants to give you a warning, he's motivated, he's personally offended.
"And so your problem solving is to smash a racket to give him break, go down a set and a break. That's the part where you lose me a little bit.
"You don't want to hear the opinions but then you do something like that where it's kind of impossible to lay off and say, that was absolutely not the right thing to do if you wanted to win this tennis match." | https://www.sportingnews.com/au/tennis/news/nick-kyrgios-and-thanasi-kokkinakis-fall-short-miami-open-andy-roddick-weighs-umpire-outburst/qqikeamnsu5fpkpvh5s5xd64 | 2022-04-01T02:04:58Z |
Members from the 36th Security Forces Squadron spent a day cleaning the Combat Arms Training and Maintenance range at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, March 30, 2022.
The CATM range at Andersen AFB is utilized by members from all squadrons assigned here as well as various other Department of Defense agencies. The purpose of the range is to ensure all weapons utilized by 36th Wing personnel are functional, maintained and ready when Airmen are called to duty.
“The range here on Andersen is always in use,” said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Kourtlyn Stafford, the combat arms noncommissioned officer in charge with the 36 SFS. “There’s a DOD agency utilizing the base range every day, and sometime on the weekends.”
About 25 Airmen came out to clean debris, load it up and transport it to Global Recycling Center.
“We were cleaning to remove any unwanted debris such as metal, plastic, foam, and wood at the CATM range,” said Stafford. “Although projectiles casings are to be removed by the occupying agency who use the range, clean-up days like this are still vital for the upkeep of the area.”
The CATM range was created around 1965, roughly two decades after the base opened. It is essential for personnel to have a range on base in order continue their training and remain fully qualified.
The CATM range has pending upgrades coming to increase member’s capabilities to train and to keep the base operationalized.

Do you REALLY need a top sheet? Experts weigh in on fiery debate after millennials decide to toss the extra layer aside
- Six experts have revealed exactly why you should be using a top sheet
- Top sheets protect your doona cover which means you can wash it less
- They also add a layer of warmth and set a comfortable mood in the bedroom
Registered nurse and naturopath Madeline Calfas believes a top sheet is a necessity for good hygiene
Millennials have all but ditched the idea of making their bed using a top sheet insisting the extra layer of linen is unnecessary and annoying.
But six experts including a nurse and interior designers have revealed the benefits outweigh the risk of being 'wrapped up' in a loose fitting top sheet.
Speaking with the team at Bed Threads each of the experts revealed they prefer to use a top sheet when making a bed insisting it improves hygiene, aesthetics and comfort.
Interior designer Simone Haag likes to use a top sheet to add another splash of colour or appealing texture when styling a room.
To her layering colours and textures in a room helps improve its overall aesthetic and make it more comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
While registered nurse and naturopath Madeline Calfas believes the top sheet's importance lies in hygiene rather than being a stylistic choice.
And unless you wash your doona cover weekly or fortnightly along with the rest of your bedding then a top sheet is a necessity, she explained.
Experts have weighed in on the top sheet debate with all six agreeing it is worth adding the extra layer when you make the bed
'Are you able to remember the last time you actually washed your doona cover? The fact of the matter is that while we may wash our sheets on a weekly basis, we don’t tend to wash our doonas anywhere near as frequently, which makes them a veritable treasure trove for bedbugs,' she said.
'On top of that, think of how much you might sweat, especially in the summer months. Not having a top sheet means your doona cover is going to absorb that sweat, rather than the top sheet.'
Ashleigh Hogan, a Bed Threads customer service member, says she always uses a top sheet.
In summer she uses it in place of a heavier covering and in winter she enjoys the extra layer of warmth it offers.
Professional organisers Emma Rosham and Michelle Rubi from Tidee both use a top sheet because they believe it adds an element of luxury and comfort to their bedrooms.
But if you are trying to de-clutter and find yourself tangled in the sheets at night they say it isn't the end of the world to get rid of the extra layer.
They are supportive of both options as long as their clients are choosing the options which offers them the best night sleep.
Interior designer Emily MacAlpine says she understands why people prefer to sleep without a top sheet - but she never would.
Simone Haag says she likes a top sheet because she finds layering colours and textures to be aesthetically pleasing
She can't bear the thought of washing her doona cover every week and enjoys having the covers 'up around her face' when she sleeps.
So the top sheet acts as a guard for her doona, which would otherwise be covered in dead skin cells, oil and bacteria and would need to be washed each week.
'On the flip side, I think not having a top sheet means your bed is effortlessly made in seconds and doesn’t start to look seriously messy because you don’t have a sheet to tuck in,' she said.
The top-sheet debate appears to be the most fierce topic on conversation when it comes to bedroom styling, overtaking the age old question of when one should wash their bedding.
Australians have revealed how often they wash their bed sheets in an eye-opening survey, with answers ranging from every two days to once a year.
Consumer advocacy group CHOICE posed the question of how often was normal for each household to strip the beds on Facebook, asking its followers to 'be honest'.
The results differed dramatically, with one woman saying she washes her sheets once a week but her mother insists that every second day is more appropriate.
'I do mine fortnightly. With a large family I'd be forever washing sheets otherwise (and there's already enough clothes keeping me busy),' said a mother.
'Twice a week! Anything less to me is gross with the amount of dead skin cells we shed,' said another.
Consumer advocacy group CHOICE posed the question of how often was normal for each household to strip the beds on Facebook
'I have a king size bed and sleep on my own so I sleep on one side of the bed for a week then the other side for the second week before washing,' said one man.
Others were less regimented with their washing schedule and made infrequent trips to the laundry room
'They were clean when I bought them. That's all they need,' said one man.
According to CHOICE Australians should be washing their sheets once a week, including the pillowcases
'Once a year whether they need it or not,' said another.

This prevents a build up of dust mites, which feed off dead skin cells, sweat and seminal fluid.
A person sheds on average 1.5 grams of skin each day - and if that's not 'disgusting' enough, that amount of dead skin can feed one million dust mites, Good Housekeeping reported.
Each month the team recommend rotating or flipping your mattress to avoid 'grooves' from forming where you sleep each night
'Use a mattress protector or mattress topper to protect your mattress from sweat stains,' CHOICE suggested.
'This can pay dividends if you need to make a warranty claim, as excessive staining could see claims refused. Likewise pillow protectors can help keep your pillows at their best.'
Each month the team recommend rotating or flipping your mattress to avoid 'grooves' from forming where you sleep each night.
During this time it's also important to vacuum the mattress to get rid of dust mites that may live there.
Each year should see you assess the mattress for comfortability, and if it's not providing the support you need, getting a new one. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10674273/Experts-reveal-use-sheet.html | 2022-04-01T02:04:58Z |

Which letterman jacket is best?
Letterman jackets, also known as varsity jackets, are a great addition to any closet and fit a range of styles, from classic American to streetwear. They’re also great protection against the cold, and in some cases can be worn while skiing or during other intense outdoor winter activities.
If you’re in the market for a well-made letterman jacket that promises to keep you warm, stylish and comfortable, check out the Stewart & Strauss Original Varsity Letterman.
What to know before you buy a letterman jacket
Fit and cut
Although letterman jackets feature the same general design, there are numerous fits and cuts. If you want something with a modern streetwear look, consider something with a boxy, oversized fit. If you want it to accentuate the width of your shoulders, opt for a cinched waist and a wider shoulder measurement. Or if you’re chasing the traditional look, consider something from a classic brand such as Ralph Lauren.
Level of warmth
Before you purchase a new letterman jacket, consider how much warmth you want it to provide. Although it’s not traditional, you can find puffer letterman jackets with down insulation, such as the quilted bomber from Tommy Hilfiger. If you want something you can wear during the milder months of fall and spring, consider one made from cotton or lightweight wool.
What to look for in a quality letterman jacket
Materials
Regardless of what type of letterman jacket you choose, premium materials are a hallmark of high-quality ones. If you choose a traditional varsity jacket such as the Pro Standard, keep an eye out for genuine leather sleeves and natural wool blends. If you want a puffer, consider jackets with certified animal-cruelty-free down or recycled synthetic insulation.
Quality buttons
Because letterman jackets tend to have buttons instead of a zipper, the quality of the buttons is important. High-quality letterman jackets have strong buttons that securely snap into place with a distinctive sound. Keep your eye out for bonuses, such as interesting contrasting colors or luxurious polished chrome buttons.
How much you can expect to spend on a letterman jacket
As with most clothing, there is a wide range of prices when it comes to letterman jackets. Expect to spend $50-$100 for high-quality affordable jackets and anywhere between $150-$400 for luxury ones.
Letterman jacket FAQ
Should I hang or fold my letterman jacket?
A. We’re often told to avoid hanging wool or folding leather, the two main materials in most varsity jackets — but avoid folding them at all costs. Because the leather is supple and the wool is thick, folding will create creases difficult to remove. To avoid hanger bumps at the end of the shoulder, where the leather starts, get a wooden hanger with large, smooth curves that won’t press against the leather.
What’s the origin of the letterman jacket?
A. They were first worn by Harvard University baseball players in 1865 and were popular with the athletes who wore them throughout the first half of the 20th century. They became a fashion trend in the 1950s, worn by such stars as James Dean and Elvis Presley, and later by Michael Jackson. Japanese fashion designer Nigo recently made the look trendy again.

Zebra Technologies Corporation's (NASDAQ:ZBRA) Fundamentals Look Pretty Strong: Could The Market Be Wrong About The Stock?
Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ:ZBRA) has had a rough three months with its share price down 28%. However, stock prices are usually driven by a company’s financial performance over the long term, which in this case looks quite promising. In this article, we decided to focus on Zebra Technologies' ROE.
Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital.
View our latest analysis for Zebra Technologies
How Do You Calculate Return On Equity?
ROE can be calculated by using the formula:
Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity
So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Zebra Technologies is:
28% = US$837m ÷ US$3.0b (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2021).
The 'return' is the yearly profit. Another way to think of that is that for every $1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn $0.28 in profit.
What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?
So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. Based on how much of its profits the company chooses to reinvest or "retain", we are then able to evaluate a company's future ability to generate profits. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don’t share these attributes.
A Side By Side comparison of Zebra Technologies' Earnings Growth And 28% ROE
Firstly, we acknowledge that Zebra Technologies has a significantly high ROE. Second, a comparison with the average ROE reported by the industry of 13% also doesn't go unnoticed by us. So, the substantial 47% net income growth seen by Zebra Technologies over the past five years isn't overly surprising.
As a next step, we compared Zebra Technologies' net income growth with the industry, and pleasingly, we found that the growth seen by the company is higher than the average industry growth of 16%.
Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. By doing so, they will have an idea if the stock is headed into clear blue waters or if swampy waters await. What is ZBRA worth today? The intrinsic value infographic in our free research report helps visualize whether ZBRA is currently mispriced by the market.
Is Zebra Technologies Making Efficient Use Of Its Profits?
Zebra Technologies doesn't pay any dividend currently which essentially means that it has been reinvesting all of its profits into the business. This definitely contributes to the high earnings growth number that we discussed above.
Summary
On the whole, we feel that Zebra Technologies' performance has been quite good. In particular, it's great to see that the company is investing heavily into its business and along with a high rate of return, that has resulted in a sizeable growth in its earnings. With that said, the latest industry analyst forecasts reveal that the company's earnings growth is expected to slow down. Are these analysts expectations based on the broad expectations for the industry, or on the company's fundamentals? Click here to be taken to our analyst's forecasts page for the company.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — An Austin man’s evening bike ride almost turned deadly, after video shows a car hitting the cyclist on Riverside Drive and then speeding off.
A video captured by a bystander shows cyclist Nick Gardiner riding in front of the Long Center, when a car appearing to change lanes hits Gardiner, and drives off. He said it happened a little before 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Austin Police said the incident happened near the 700 block of W. Riverside Drive.
You can see Gardiner roll over from the impact almost three times before he makes his way to the sidewalk and collapses on a grassy area.
In the video, bystanders run by to attend to the cyclist and make sure he is OK. The hit-and-run was captured on camera by Scott Thigpen, who can be seen calling 911 in the video.
Gardiner said the driver was “harassing” him for about half a mile, saying at one point the driver was rolling down his window to yell at Gardiner.
“It was a clear-cut case of road rage,” he said. “No reasonable person would do that.”
Gardiner tells KXAN he filed a police report with the Austin Police Department in hopes of finding the driver. He describes the car as a white coupe and guesses it is an early 2000s model of a Honda Accord.
Austin Police said the case is being investigated as aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.
The cyclist said he does not have any broken bones but has other injuries including a severe rash from impact with the road, a golf-ball-sized lump on his knee, bruising on his palm and other cuts.
“I got lucky. If it went any other way, I don’t think I’d be talking to you right now,” he said.
According to Texas bicycle laws, all bicyclists must ride alongside streets and roadways, as opposed to sidewalks, when a designated bike line is unavailable.
This is a developing story. KXAN will update this story once we have more information. | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/texas/watch-austin-cyclist-ok-after-being-hit-by-car-that-sped-off/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:03Z |

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday, March 31, he has joined forces with public defenders and nonprofit organizations to establish a pilot diversion program for human trafficking victims to help restore their lives outside the criminal justice system.
The county’s first Human Trafficking Diversion Court program will be launched at the Pomona courthouse, with the hope of expanding it to other areas of Los Angeles County plagued by human trafficking, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
“The purpose of this program is very simple,” Gascon said during a news conference. “It is to divert victims of human trafficking away from the criminal justice system and into a trauma-informed holistic system of care. Adults and children alike are forced into human trafficking and become vulnerable and repeatedly extorted. Their hopes vanish and their confidence is repeatedly trampled upon and too far often they are over-criminalized. But together with our guidance and all of these groups coming together we can make a difference.”.
Los Angeles County Public Defender Ricardo García joined Gascón in announcing the pilot court program, which is in session every Thursday at Pomona Superior Court.
“For far too long young people forced into labor, sexual exploitation and sex work for the profit or the benefit of others have been victimized by harsh treatment in our criminal legal system,” Garcia said. “In the past there was a belief and a practice that only criminal charges and incarceration were the appropriate answers for their exploitation-based conduct. As public defenders, we have seen the destruction of far too many lives due to these ideas and practices.”
Variety of services
The diversion program will offer a variety of services, including individual and group counseling for alcohol and substance abuse, mental health treatment, job training, career opportunities, educational and financial planning, resume services and criminal record clearing.
“Research shows that providing counseling, education and skills training to persons involved in human trafficking redirects these individuals to a brighter and more productive path and also prevents recidivism in great numbers,” Garcia said.
Those sentiments were echoed by Los Angeles County Alternate Public Defender Erika Anzoategui, whose office represents defendants charged with a crime who cannot afford to hire a private attorney and where Garcia’s office has a conflict of interest.
”This is a historic moment and a long-needed program to help people,” she said. “I am glad we have come together in a collaborative fashion to actually look at the needs of our clients instead of just incarceration. Incarceration is not the answer to trauma.”
Individuals who have been identified as trafficking victims and face misdemeanor or non-serious, non-violent felony charges are eligible for the program. Participants are referred to Human Trafficking Court by defense attorneys, prosecutors or law enforcement agencies.
A judge will approve the suitability of each participant, who will be assigned to a community-based organization for treatment and services. After completion of the diversionary program, a judge can dismiss and vacate the person’s arrest, convictions and probation violations.
Most have no criminal history
Pallavi Garg, an attorney for Free to Thrive, a nonprofit that provides trafficking victims legal and support services, said about 90% of the agency’s clients have a criminal record tied to their trafficking experience. Most had never been arrested before they were trafficked, she added.
“That is exactly why this (trafficking) courtroom is essential,” Garg said. “When we talk to survivors, they universally say the same thing, that nobody — not the police officers, not the defense attorneys, not the prosecutors, not the judges — ever stop to ask them why (they have no previous criminal history). That allows traffickers to continue to recruit, groom and victimize more people while their other victims are serving out long sentences.”
Claremont Mayor Jed Leano applauded the program, adding that human trafficking is the biggest public safety threat facing his city.
”This program is the right step forward to try to create an unfettered and direct pipeline for victims of trafficking and the services that can end the cycle of violence and coercion,” he said. | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/03/31/da-gascon-announces-diversion-program-for-human-trafficking-victims/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:04Z |
Pacific Air Forces Airmen recently delivered 109 boxes of medical supplies and personal protective equipment to the Ministry of Health in Timor-Leste to assist with Covid-19.
Airmen from the 374th Airlift Wing at Yokota Air Base, Japan, led an effort to organize and transport this PPE and medical supplies in support of allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
“These events were part of a $75,000 Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid project aimed at supporting the mitigation of Covid-19 surges and strengthening our partnership with Timor-Leste,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Ryan Jung, Pacific Air Forces Surgeon General’s Global Health Engagements branch. “To make this possible we coordinated with the U.S. Embassy and provided guidance to the 374th Medical Group and 374th Logistics Readiness Squadron for their support.”
Airmen from the 374th MDG, located at Yokota Air Base, Japan, took charge of reviewing needs of PPE and medications to prepare the necessary orders. Once supplies were ready to go, Airmen from the 374th LRS were responsible for the packing and shipping.
"The efforts from the Airmen at the 374th Medical Support Squadron emphasize the importance of our mission and Yokota Air Base's role across the Indo-Pacific theater," said Lt. Col. Lisa Guzman, 374th Medical Support Squadron commander. "These missions are what our Airmen train for every day, allowing us to support our allies and partners worldwide."
Though the 374th AW was heavily involved with this event, all PACAF Airmen and units work closely with U.S. allies and partners across the region.
“The success of this project highlights our dedication to maintaining medical engagements with our international partners and allies,” said Jung. “We want to continuously build with one another and strengthen our international capabilities.”

Woolworths shoppers lose it after store 'discontinues' popular mud cakes - but is everything as it seems?
- A Woolworths employee claims stores will be 'updating' its popular mud cakes
- Liam Kirley, from Sydney, shared a video on the official Woolworths TikTok page
- He claims the beloved $4.80 dessert will now include a mashed potato topping
- But hundreds of shoppers believe the claim is an April Fool's joke
Hundreds of Woolworths shoppers are in disbelief after an employee announced stores will be 'discontinuing' their popular mud cakes.
Liam Kirley, from Sydney who also handles the official TikTok account, shared a video stating the existing recipe will be scrapped with the retailer looking to add healthier options to their dessert range.
A spud cake with mashed potato topping was announced as the replacement - but many believe the claim is an April Fool's Day joke.
'We're saying goodbye to mud cakes,' he wrote in the clip.
The $4.80 cakes are an iconic supermarket dessert beloved by millions of Aussies nationwide and three flavours are readily available.

Sydney Woolworths employee Liam Kirley (left) claims the iconic supermarket mud cakes are being 'updated' - but many believe the claim is an April Fool's Day joke
In a TikTok video he claims the recipe is being tweaked to include a mashed potato topping. Confused TikTokers flooded the comments of the video saying there's 'no way' the video was truthful
'I'm here at Woolworths to introduce the replacement of our beloved mud cake,' Luke said in the video.
'Mud cakes are a quintessential Woolworths product taking pride in our stores for the past 20 years.
'We're excited to announce the iconic mud cakes will be getting an update.'
He went on to explain the mud cakes will not be rebranded and called 'spud cakes'.
'In our efforts to create a more health-conscious lens to our own branded products, the spud cake - made of potatoes - will still be covered in our signature chocolate ganache but piped with potato for the signature top.'
Confused TikTokers flooded the comments of the video saying there's 'no way' the statements in the video are truthful.
'What????' one person asked eagerly, another said: 'This better be a joke.'
Others weren't as misguided and said: 'I almost forgot it's April Fool's.'
Another went as too far to say they'd enjoy trying the unique cake.
'I know you're messing with me because it's April Fool's, but I still want this cake. even if it's just once,' the customer wrote.
In 2020 a separate video by the user Food Factory Aus went viral exposing how the must-have mud cakes are made.
The short 20-second video exposed the industrial machinery clasping and flipping the cakes upside down before dipping the top in the melted chocolate glaze.
The factory machines demonstrate one of the final steps involved in making the mudcakes.

Chris Rock Shuts Down Audience Member Cursing Out Will Smith at His Comedy Show in Boston

Chris Rock continues to keep things positive.
The comedian, 57, returned to The Wilbur in Boston on Thursday, following two standup shows the night before at which he broke his silence about the 94th Academy Awards.
After Rock took the stage on Thursday, dressed in an all-white ensemble much like the night before, he began his set by once again addressing the weekend. (On Sunday, Rock was smacked in the face by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars after the presenter made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's appearance.)
However, at this particular show, an audience member yelled out, "F--- Will Smith!" Rock, who did not engage with "Will Smith" chants the night before, responded this time around by immediately shutting it down. "No, no, no, no, no..." Rock replied.
At Rock's shows on Wednesday — his first appearance since presenting at the Academy Awards — he said that he was "still processing what happened" over the weekend. During his late-night set, he also told the crowd, "I haven't talked to anyone, despite what you heard."
Though he did not mention Smith by name at either show on Wednesday, he seemed to imply that he hasn't yet spoken with the King Richard star directly despite reports earlier this week that Sean "Diddy" Combs said the pair had made amends. (It was later reported that Combs never confirmed a reconciliation.)

Following Sunday night's televised altercation, ticket sales for Rock's upcoming Ego Death tour dates saw a spike in popularity, according to secondary ticket seller TickPick.
During the 2022 Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Rock presented the Best Documentary Feature award, taking time to crack a few jokes, including one about Smith's wife. He made a gag about her hair matching Demi Moore's shaved head in the movie G.I. Jane, which Pinkett Smith recently opened up about, revealing it was a result of having alopecia.
Pinkett Smith, 50, was visibly unamused by the joke, rolling her eyes from her seat.

Seconds later, Smith, 53, walked onstage and approached Rock, smacking him in front of the audience and millions watching the telecast at home. Back at his table, Smith shouted to a stunned Rock: "Keep my wife's name out of your f-----g mouth." Smith remained seated with his wife at his table for the rest of the night. Rock declined to press charges.
When Smith won Best Actor later in the ceremony, he apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees, but did not mention Rock. In his tearful speech, he spoke about acting out of love and protection, saying, "Love makes you do crazy things."
On Monday, Smith publicly apologized to Rock in a statement shared on Instagram, saying, "I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."

He also said, "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally."
"... I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family," continued Smith. "I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress."
Also on Monday, the Academy said in a statement, "The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night's show. We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law."

On Wednesday, the Academy said that Smith was actually asked to leave after the incident but "refused."
"Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated," read a statement issued to PEOPLE. "While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently."
Wednesday's statement from the Academy also said, "The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy's Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy."
"At the next board meeting on April 18, the Academy may take any disciplinary action, which may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct," the statement said.
Oscars producer Will Packer will appear Friday on Good Morning America, giving T.J. Holmes his account of how the debacle unfolded on Sunday's awards show, after the Academy said Smith was asked to leave. | https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/chris-rock-shuts-down-audience-003720411.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:06Z |

Which women’s shapewear is best?
Whether you have a special event coming up or just want to look your best for work, you’ll likely feel even more confident with the right women’s shapewear. Shapewear can help you achieve a perfectly smooth silhouette in dresses, skirts, pants and more.
Women’s shapewear features a snug, stretchy material that streamlines your figure. It’s available in many different styles, with some that slim your entire body, while others target specific areas. If you’re looking for shapewear to smooth your stomach, thighs and hips with light control, the Spanx Lightweight Layer Mid-Thigh Shaping Short is a perfect choice.
What to know before you buy women’s shapewear
Style
Women’s shapewear comes in many types and styles. You should pick one that smooths your silhouette while still feeling comfortable. Depending on the design, they can support your chest and buttock while smoothing your stomach, hips and thighs.
- Shaping bodysuits: These bodysuits are the most widely used shapewear. They resemble a one-piece swimsuit and usually have a closure in the crotch, making it easier to use the bathroom. A bodysuit works well underneath shirts, dresses, skirts, pants and more.
- Shaping slips/dresses: These dresses or slips are like a shaping bodysuit, but they feature a hem that hits around the knees. Shaping slips and dresses are only suitable for use under a dress or skirt.
- Shaping tanks/camisoles: These tops look just like a regular tank top or camisole but support your chest and smooth your stomach. They work well under most tops.
- Shaping underwear: These underwear come in many styles, including briefs. They work under nearly any type of bottom, including tight-fitting pants or skirts.
- Shaping shorts and leggings: These shorts or pants help smooth your stomach, hips and thighs. Some shorts-style shapewear end at the knees, while others go all the way to your calves or ankles.
Sizing
Your shapewear won’t have the right effect you want if you don’t get the right size. Wearing a piece that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and cause an uneven line in your clothing. Consult the shapewear sizing chart to determine your proper size. You’ll likely need to measure key areas of your body to determine your sizing, like your bust, waist and hips.
Material
Shapewear material is usually a combination of nylon and spandex. Pieces with more nylon typically offer the most slimming effect. You can find lightweight pieces with nylon/spandex blends, but you may prefer cotton or microfiber shapewear in hot weather.
What to look for in quality women’s shapewear
Control level
Some women’s shapewear pieces offer more control than others, so their slimming or smoothing effect is more obvious.
The most common control level options are:
- Light control: Light control shapewear doesn’t offer as much compression, so it works well for a general slimming effect. It’s also the most comfortable option if you wear shapewear every day.
- Firm control: Firm control shapewear provides more compression, so it’s ideal for smoothing out specific areas of the body.
- Extra-firm control: Extra-firm control shapewear offers the most compression and has pretty dramatic results. It tends to be more uncomfortable than other shapewear, though, so you may want to save it for special occasions.
Color
Most women’s shapewear comes in white, black and nude options. White and nude shapewear is perfect under light clothing because it won’t show through the material. Nude pieces are usually the most invisible option, though. You can find shapewear in some other colors, too, including pink, blue and red.
How much you can expect to spend on women’s shapewear
Women’s shapewear has a wide price range, costing $6-$100. You can usually find shaping underwear and tanks or camisoles for $6-$20, while shaping bodysuits, slips and dresses can cost $20-$60. For extra-firm control or full-body pieces, you will likely pay $60-$100.
Women’s shapewear FAQ
Is shapewear meant for everyday wear?
A. Some people like to wear light control shapewear every day to help them feel more confident in their clothing. If your shapewear is the correct size, you can wear it every day. However, firm- and extra-firm pieces may not be comfortable enough to wear daily.
What’s the best way to clean shapewear?
A. It depends on your shapewear’s materials, so always consult the care label to determine how to wash it. Most pieces require hand-washing and air-drying, but you may find some machine-washable shapewear.
What’s the best women’s shapewear to buy?

Funding for new elections office recommended
The Glynn County Finance Committee recommended spending $1.7 million from the capital projects fund for a new Glynn County Board of Elections and Registration office.
The money would be spent to renovate the old CVS building on Gloucester Street for the new elections office home. A new state law requiring more voting machines is forcing the move.
“They do need the space,” Commissioner Wayne Neal said.
It’s also going to be more difficult for people to smuggle contraband into the county jail when they visit inmates. Committee members are recommending $189,000 from the jail commissary fund to pay for a full-body security scanning system. If necessary, there will be a process in place to take people to the hospital to retrieve drugs and other hidden items.
Commissioners also agreed to waive the fee for the Carl Alexander Memorial Fund Fishing Tournament Oct. 21-23 at Blythe Island Regional Park. The tournament is held to support local law enforcement.
Committee members are recommending merging two vacant positions, contract analyst and open records officer into one position called compliance officer.
The police department will be getting a new training simulator, with the existing one being surplussed to help offset the cost of a new one at $113,900.
In other business committee members recommended:
• Renewal of the public defender’s contract with the Brunswick Judicial Circuit for $604,000.
• The Coastal Georgia Community Action Authority’s contract of $22,500.
• Coastal Regional Commission funding for rural transit of $36,000 and another $90,000 paid for other services from the organization.
• A timber sale at Blythe Island Regional Park at two tracts, one 28.2 acres and the other 53.1 acres. The sale of timber could generate as much as $200,000, with the proceeds going into the regional park’s fund. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556270141958/funding-for-new-elections-office-recommended | 2022-04-01T02:05:09Z |
By Andrew Dalton | Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
“They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment,” Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.”
But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea.
“He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. “And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.”
The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night’s ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer’s interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned.
The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television.”
Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so.
Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary.
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18.
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.” | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/03/31/oscars-police-offered-to-arrest-will-smith-over-attack/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:10Z |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said. | https://www.myhighplains.com/washington/washington-dc/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:09Z |
Grieving wife of dad-of-two, 36, who died in his sleep blasts One Nation senator who wrongly claimed he was killed by Pfizer jab: 'He had NO right'
- Wife of NSW father who died in his sleep has slammed One Nation Senator
- Politician Malcolm Roberts claimed father-of-two died from Covid vaccines
- Daniel Perkins, 36, tragically never woke up from a nap in December, 2021
- The family are still awaiting results from postmortem into his sudden passing
- His partner slammed the senators claims as 'untrue and written in poor taste'
- Nikki Perkins said her late husband was an amazing friend, partner and father
The wife of a young dad who died in his sleep has slammed a One Nation Senator for claiming her beloved husband passed away as a result of complications from Covid vaccines.
Daniel Perkins, 36, never woke up from a brief nap he intended to take before picking up his two sons from school on December 8, 2021.
His wife Nikki and two eight-year-old sons Jordi and Logan, from Shellharbour on the NSW South Coast, remain in the dark about the cause of his sudden death.
However, Queensland Senator Malcolm Roberts claimed in Parliament on Tuesday that Mr Perkins had died after receiving his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
Nikki Perkins and her eight-year-old sons Jordi and Logan, still remain in the dark about the cause of the family man's sudden passing in December last year (pictured is the family)
Queensland Senator Malcolm Roberts on Tuesday claimed Mr Perkins had died after receiving his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine (pictured is the politician in March, 2021)
Mr Roberts said the very least that could be done for 'victims' of vaccines was to say their names, before listing Mr Perkins among a string of others.
'A 36-year-old healthy father ... died of a heart attack in his sleep following his second Pfizer injection'.
The One Nation politician claimed injuries from Covid-19 vaccines were being 'hidden behind anonymous government data'.
However, his heartbroken family have received no indication vaccines were the cause of his death and are still awaiting results from a postmortem.
Ms Perkins told Daily Mail Australia her heart 'skipped a beat' when she heard that her husband's name had been mentioned in parliament.
The mother-of-two initially thought someone had mentioned him to honour the outpouring of care and support they had received from their local community.
Mr Perkin's heartbroken family have received no indication Covid vaccines were the cause of his death and are still awaiting results from a postmortem
'But when I actually watched the speech that Senator Malcom Roberts gave ... I was in utter shock and disbelief that someone who has no idea who my husband was, his circumstances or beliefs, felt that they had any right to mention his name in such a way,' she said.
Ms Perkins acknowledged that other names were mentioned by Mr Roberts and sent her sincere condolences to their families, saying she understood all too well what they were going through.
She added that the circumstances of her late husband's passing are still with the Coroner who she trusted to thoroughly investigate his death.
'No matter the outcome this will not change the fact that he is no longer with us and we are all missing a huge part of our lives,' Ms Perkins said.
'My husband is not a number in your statistics Mr Roberts and neither is his name.
'It will not be used for your political stance on the Covid vaccination. Your speech with regards to my husband’s name was untrue and written in poor taste.'
Ms Perkins (pictured with her late husband Daniel) told Daily Mail Australia her heart 'skipped a beat' when she heard that her husbands name had been mentioned in parliament
Ms Perkins said the senator didn't have the right to use the passing of her beloved husband for his own political benefit.
'Mr Roberts, I truly hope you reconsider the way you approach your speeches in the future and be more mindful of the names used, as you have made my week and the week of our loved ones even harder than it already was,' she said.
Her husband had shown no signs of ill-health when he passed away in his sleep, although his family have been told he had an enlarged heart.
Mr Perkins has been described as a dedicated family man, who was well-liked in his local community who rallied around the family following his shock death.
A fundraiser has raised nearly $59,000 in donations that will be put towards building the best life possible for his two eight-year-old boys.
'Our boys are doing amazing even with the obvious missing in their world, they are surrounded by love and kindness,' the resilient mother said.
Ms Perkins had been married to her partner, who she met in high school and shares two eight-year-old boys with, for over two decades before he tragically passed in December
She had been married to her partner, who she met in high school, for over two decades before he tragically passed last December.
'My husband was an amazing man, funny, kind, loved by all who knew him. An amazing farther, whose boys were his world,' Ms Perkins said.
'An amazing son, who loved his family dearly. An amazing friend, who would bring a smile to your face not matter how bad your world might seem and my best friend who I was lucky enough to have in my life for 20 years.'
Mr Roberts has been an outspoken critic of Covid vaccines and mandates throughout the pandemic and consistently voted against treating the vaccine rollout like a matter of urgency.
In January, the One Nation senator compared the product information available for vaccines to the ingredients list on the back of potato chips.
Mr Perkins has been described as an amazing man, funny, kind, and loved by all who knew him
'How is it that vaccine ingredients are not disclosed & yet a simple packet of potato crisps in supermarket MUST have the ingredients listed by LAW?' he tweeted.
The politician claimed that what was inside a vaccine was being kept secret despite the law requiring manufacturers to publish these ingredients.
Vaccine ingredient information is freely available on the Therapeutic Goods Administration website.
Mr Roberts is currently spearheading a cross-party inquiry into the government's response to the pandemic, dubbed 'Covid Under Question'.

Chris Rock was firm that he didn't want LAPD to intervene in Will Smith slap, Oscars producer says
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Chris RockAmerican comedian, actor, screenwriter, television producer, film producer, and director
- Will SmithAmerican actor
- Will PackerAmerican film producer
Will Smith left Sunday's Oscars ceremony with the Best Actor award for his performance in King Richard, but he could have left in handcuffs.
In his first interview since the awards show, Oscars producer Will Packer told Good Morning America that Chris Rock, whom Smith slapped during a shocking moment of the broadcast, had been adamant Smith not be punished by police.
"They were saying, 'This is battery,' was the word they used in that moment. They said, 'We will go get him. We are prepared. We're prepared to go get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him,'" Packer said in a part of the interview that was previewed on Thursday's edition of World News Tonight With David Muir. "They were laying out the options, and as they were talking, Chris was, he was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, 'No, I'm fine.' He was like, 'No, no,' even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let ‘em finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were, and they said, you know, 'Would you like us to take any action?' And he said no. He said no."
The Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement Monday that the victim had declined to file a police report.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Wednesday that it had asked Smith to leave after he approached the stage and hit Rock for telling a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Rock's joke had been about her shaved head, and she has said that she chose that look because she suffers from hair loss. In addition to slapping Rock, Smith also yelled at him, "Keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth!" Officials said that he refused to leave.
However, sources told Variety and TMZ that Smith was never formally asked to exit the ceremony, where he later won the Best Actor award. According to them, the people overseeing the event were divided about what should happen, and that Packer actually told Smith that the Academy wanted him to stay.
Packer seemed to refute that, with the producer saying that he "did not speak to Smith directly at all the night of the Oscars." The full sit-down is scheduled to air Friday on Good Morning America.
While he's off the hook legally, Smith could face serious repercussions. In their Wednesday statement, Academy officials said they had launched a formal review into what happened at its most high-profile event of the year. Smith could be suspended or even expelled. Acting union SAG-AFTRA is considering disciplinary action as well.
Just days later, Rock received a standing ovation at his first stand-up show since the Oscars.
"How was your weekend?" he teased the Boston audience. Noting that he was still processing what happened, he said that he didn't have any jokes about it yet. | https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/chris-rock-will-smith-oscars-slap-lapd-police-arrest-will-packer-interview-002009251.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:12Z |

SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn. — Dolly Parton is offering her thanks and praise for the many people who are fighting fires and offering help to wildfire victims in Sevier County.
“I’ve been keeping up with everything going on with the fires near my home area. It looks scary on TV, but I’m proud of how everyone in the area has pulled together like they always do," Dolly said. "I’m especially proud of the brave men and women who are working to contain the fire."
Dolly said she is staying in touch with her people at Dollywood to keep track of how people in the area are doing as crews continue to battle fires in Wears Valley and Seymour, saying they have assured her things are okay.
"I know there are some folks who have been affected, and I hope that you will join me in saying a prayer for them," she said.
Dolly was instrumental in providing direct help to the many victims of the November 2016 Sevier County wildfires through her "My People" fund.
As of 6 p.m. Thursday, more than 100 structures were affected by the Wears Valley fire. In Seymour, crews were fighting a 652-acre fire off Millstone Gap Road near the Blount-Sevier County line.
As many as 11,000 homes were evacuated in Sevier County.
If you would like to help people affected by the wildfires, we have a list of resources and ways to help at this link. | https://www.localmemphis.com/article/life/people/dolly-parton-sevier-county-wildfires/51-d9838e80-7910-4e12-a7a1-ed82a755af47 | 2022-04-01T02:05:14Z |
POST FALLS, Idaho — Lawyers for the man who randomly shot at several people in December at a Post Fall Gas station want to see some of his charges dismissed.
Tisen Sterkel is charged with a dozen felonies for the shooting. Although court documents say he admitted to the shooting at people, he’s pleaded not guilty to every charge.
Security video from the Conoco gas station on Highway 41 shows the suspect aiming his rifle and shooting multiple times. This left two people injured, but they are expected to be okay. Investigators said Sterkel immediately left the area and carjacked two different vehicles.
Jacob Sheppard was shot in the neck while at the gas station. He is expected to be okay. But his wife, Dominque Sheppard, told KREM 2 at the time that it will be a long recovery.
“I’m not sure if Jake will be back at work at all anytime soon,” Sheppard said.
In January, the judge dismissed one of Sterkel’s aggravated assault charges.
Meanwhile, his defense attorneys want to see five more charges dropped. Including aggravated battery, stolen vehicle, and robbery.
Sterkel’s lawyers argue, based on video evidence, he could not have seen the victims he shot from where he was standing. They also say the state must prove Sterkel intended to shoot at the two victims. The defense doesn’t believe they can.
As for the charges relating to the stolen vehicles, the defense claims there is no evidence of theft. But rather “a series of swapping vehicles in a desperate and inherently flawed attempt to get away from someone.”
Court docs say Sterkel told police he did not know why he shot at people and thought something inside of him snapped.
A judge will decide whether to dismiss these five charges next month. The trial is set for June 13. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/crime/defense-lawyers-request-dismissal-post-falls-shooter/293-5a54be49-3c7c-4ecb-9d23-dd4241271e87 | 2022-04-01T02:05:14Z |
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.13wmaz.com/article/news/local/georgia/lovencia-chambley-north-atlanta-high-school-haiti-earthquake/85-87d6769a-45eb-455f-a7bb-303afe8c70d2 | 2022-04-01T02:05:14Z |

Which Maytag top-load washer is best?
Everyone needs to wash their clothes and no one likes doing it by hand. Maytag top-load washers have all the features you want and need, and its prices are difficult to beat. And the best Maytag top-load washer is the Maytag 5.3-Cubic-Foot Smart-Capable Top-Load Washing Machine. It has plenty of space for handling large loads, and it’s Energy Star certified.
What to know before you buy a Maytag top-load washer
Pros and cons of a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag top-load washers have several pros and cons.
- Pros: Top-load washers are more affordable than front-loaders, and Maytag is an affordable mid-range brand. They are easier to load and unload and tend to have larger capacities and quicker cycles than front-loaders. They also have a lower leak risk.
- Cons: Top-load washers tend to make more noise as the wash basket knocks against the walls. They use more energy and water than front-loaders, even if they’re high-efficiency. They can’t be stacked, either, which may leave you with too little space in your laundry room.
Size and capacity
Maytag top-load washers have an external size and an internal capacity. The two rarely directly correlate.
- Size determines how much space your washer will take up. As top-loaders can’t be stacked, size is of greater importance with them than with a front-loader. You need to leave room for your dryer, after all.
- Capacity determines how many clothes can be washed at once and is given in cubic feet. Small households can comfortably get by with less than 4 cubic feet while large households will likely need 5 cubic feet or more.
High efficiency
High-efficiency Maytag top-load washers use less energy and water but clean just as effectively. They usually have larger capacities, but you can still find small-capacity models. The only downside is the need to use specialized HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will break your HE washer.
Impeller vs. agitator mixers
Maytag top-load washers use either impeller or agitator mixers.
- Impeller mixers use a no-post disk that rotates, causing clothes to gently rub against each other to scrub out stains. There’s no risk of tearing but the clothes may not get as clean.
- Agitator mixers use a center post with fins that twists back and forth, forcing clothes to sharply rub against each other to scrub out stains. Clothes tend to get cleaner but there’s a risk of damage.
What to look for in a quality Maytag top-load washer
Cycle options
Most Maytag top-load washers have multiple cycle options outside of the standards such as delicate and large load. Some of the more common cycles include deep-water rinse, extra power and a customizable cycle that can be saved.
Energy Star certification
When a Maytag top-load washer is listed as Energy Star certified, it has been independently examined and observed to meet the minimum requirements for energy efficiency. This means it will have less impact on the environment and your bank account. It’s important to point out “minimum” here, as you’ll need an Energy Star-certified high-efficiency washer for maximum efficiency.
How much you can expect to spend on a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag is an excellent mid-range brand and its prices reflect that. Its best and biggest options rarely exceed $1,000 with most washers costing $800-$1,000. Its cheapest cost around $600.
Maytag top-load washer FAQ
How do I fix a Maytag top-load washer that isn’t draining?
A. There are two likely causes. The first is simply that you overfilled your washing machine. However, if that isn’t the case, the issue is likely with your plumbing — most probably some kind of clog in the line. You’ll need to hire a plumber.
What kind of Maytag top-load washer is quietest?
A. No washing machine will ever be quiet, but there are a few aspects you can prioritize that lead to quieter operation. Look for high-efficiency washers and those with impeller mixers. Also, consider placing your Maytag washer as far from common spaces as possible.

BOSTON (CBS) — We now know how many people left city life behind during the pandemic. New census numbers show Boston and surrounding communities lost more than three percent of their population in the 15 months of COVID lockdowns and restrictions.
That means nearly 30,000 people moved out.
These numbers were recorded in July. Since then, most COVID restrictions have been dropped and people began moving back into Suffolk County, driving up rent prices.
According to Zumper, the average rent cost for a one-bedroom apartment in Boston is $2,660, up 27% year-to-year.
Boston’s rent is the third most expensive in the country after New York City and San Francisco.
“We’re no longer a little city like we once were. We are growing as a city and we need to look at how we’re going to accommodate people that want to live here,” said real estate expert Joshua Stephens.
According to Stephens, until Boston builds more housing, many young professionals will be forced to think about moving into other communities or get a roommate. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556270145468/25-years-of-good-will-hunting-a-tribute-to-boston | 2022-04-01T02:05:16Z |
By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams had relief on their faces as they headed straight from the stadium for a charter jet to Europe and weekend club games.
“This is whatever I’ve always wanted to be, and right now emotions are a bit crazy,” Pulisic said, his voice quavering.
Coach Gregg Berhalter had rushed out for a red-eye to New York and a 12½-hour connecting flight to Friday’s World Cup draw (9 a.m. PT, FS1) in Doha, Qatar.
Recovering from the past and preparing for the future intertwined as the United States clinched a return to the World Cup.
For Pulisic, DeAndre Yedlin, Kellyn Acosta and Paul Arriola, all on that doomed American team at Trinidad 4½ years earlier, the pain had not gone away until now. The 2-0 loss to Costa Rica on Wednesday night was deflating, but by the time players entered the locker room of Estadio Nacional, focus turned to the accomplishment of clinching a return to soccer’s showcase for the first time since 2014.
Erik Palmer-Brown started popping open the Duet Mousseux Brut even as Berhalter was giving his speech. Then the new JBL Boombox 2 got to blare.
“We’re the youngest team to ever qualify for the World Cup, youngest U.S. team, and we’ll be the youngest team at the World Cup,” Berhalter said. ”That’s an accomplishment for these guys. It really is.”
They had traveled 25,042 miles on charters – circling the globe adds up to only 24,901 – making four trips to Central America, plus one each to Mexico, Canada and Jamaica, plus up to five trans-Atlantic round trips. Forty-four players were called in, of which 38 took the field. In all, 114 players have been used since Trinidad, 88 since Berhalter was hired in December 2018.
Pulisic had buried his face in his hands at Couva, wiping away tears.
“That was one of the toughest days of my life. I’ll never forget it,” he recalled. “Now to be in this position – qualified for a World Cup, we’re all extremely proud.”
Berhalter admitted the pressure was omnipresent.
“The public was on edge. They desperately wanted us to make it,” he said.
All of 23, Pulisic, Adams and Weston McKennie are the team leaders. Right back Sergiño Dest and left back Antonee Robinson became offensive threats. Gio Reyna, at 19, emerged as a budding star, just like his dad three decades earlier.
“Now we have to test ourselves against the best players in the world, the best teams in the world,” Adams said. “This was only the first stage in our development.”
Berhalter is among a 12-person U.S. Soccer Federation attending the draw, mapping out Qatar plans for a tournament that opens Nov. 21, in the middle of European club seasons.
Four games are likely in June, two in the CONCACAF Nations League and two exhibitions, followed by a pair of friendlies in September, possibly in Europe. Major League Soccer players may have a domestic training camp before the tournament.
And if the U.S. winds up in Groups E through G, which don’t start play until Nov. 24-25, the Americans might train in Europe for several days and have one more exhibition before heading to the Middle East.
“The starting point is getting out of the group,” Berhalter said.
USSF staff locked down hotel and training arrangements on Oct. 1, 2019, the day the portal opened, putting the team in an optimum logistical situation.
Berhalter presumes form will change between now and November, causing roster churn. He was impressed with the growth over 14 qualifiers in temperatures that ranged from minus-3 degrees in St. Paul, Minnesota, and 85 degrees in Austin, Texas.
“I think we improved our pressing,” he said. “But we’re going to continue to evolve and to continue to improve. The 4-3-3 system, as it’s been good for us, we might work with some other systems just to have some flexibility in the World Cup. I think it’s important to see who we are playing and start planning out how we can be successful there.”
For all the positive feelings, the U.S. dropped to third among eight nations in CONCACAF, behind Canada and Mexico. If not for last week’s 0-0 draw at Mexico, the Americans would have finished fourth and wound up in a June playoff against New Zealand.
“The easy part is over, and now we focus on this draw,” said defender Walker Zimmerman, who rose like a rocket from initially off the roster in October to starting nine of the past 11 games. “Ultimately just focus on staying fit, staying healthy, performing for our clubs.”
Forward remains a concern. After scoring three goals over two games last fall, Ricardo Pepi has gone scoreless in 19 games for club and country. Strikers produced just four of the Americans’ 21 goals, with Jesús Ferreira getting the other.
“We’re hoping that one of our 9s gets into a good form by the time the World Cup comes around,” Berhalter said Thursday during a layover at JFK International Airport.
Midfielders and wingers have been the engine, with Pulisic scoring five of the team’s 21 goals, and McKennie, Brenden Aaronson and Robinson two each.
“We can do a lot of damage, man,” Pulisic said. “We’re a confident bunch of guys and I think that country will get behind us and we’re going to give everything we got.”
“I just like the fight of his team and I think we have a lot of quality, as well,” he added. “I think we can be a force going into the World Cup.”

The U.S. team received a boost for the World Cup draw and Canada took a hit in Thursday’s updated FIFA rankings.
The Americans, who failed to qualify for the last World Cup, will be in Pot 2 after being ranked 15th in the world.
Canada, which won the CONCACAF group and will play at the tournament for the first time in 36 years, missed a chance for a rankings boost by losing at Panama, 1-0, in its final qualifier.
Instead, Canada will be among the lowest-seeded teams in Pot 4.
The eight groups for the tournament in Qatar will be drawn Friday from four pots.
Qatar gets the top-seeded slot given to the World Cup host nation despite being ranked No. 51.
The other top-seeded teams are Brazil, Belgium, defending champion France, Argentina, England, Spain and Portugal.
Brazil took over as the No. 1 team from Belgium, the first change at the top in three years. Sixth-ranked Italy is the only team from the top 10 that failed to qualify.
Besides the United States, Pot 2 includes Mexico, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Uruguay, Switzerland and Croatia, while in Pot 3 it’s Senegal, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Serbia, Poland, South Korea and Tunisia.
Three of the 32 entries are still unknown because qualifying hasn’t been completed. Those three entries have all been placed in Pot 4 regardless of the rankings of the teams involved. No. 18 Wales is the highest-ranked of the eight teams left in the playoffs.
The rest of Pot 4 includes Cameroon Ecuador, Saudi Arabia and Ghana along with Canada.
Teams from the same continent will be placed in different groups, except for some Europeans.
Europe has 13 teams in the tournament and five of the eight groups will each get two teams from the continent. The other three groups each get one European team.
Qatar will kick off its home World Cup in the opening game of Group A on Nov. 21. The final is scheduled for Dec. 18 – the host’s National Day. | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/03/31/relieved-more-than-joyful-usmnt-turns-attention-to-world-cup-draw-preparation/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:16Z |

Ukraine's Zelenskiy says situation in some places tough, fires top officials
- Volodymyr Zelensky fired two senior officials, accusing them of being 'traitors'
- President Zelensky said the two men had betrayed their oath to defend Ukraine
- Sacked pair were both senior members of Ukraine's national security service
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last night fired two senior officials, accusing them of being 'traitors' and warning others they would be punished.
In a rare example of dissent among Ukrainian officials since the Russian invasion in February, Zelensky accused the two men, who worked for the national security service, of failing in their duty to protect the country.
He also said the situation in the south and the Donbas region remained extremely difficult and reiterated that Russia was building up forces near the besieged city of Mariupol.
Zelensky made the comments in a televised address last night
Zelensky said he had fired the two top officials at the national security service - the overall head of internal security as well as the head of the agency's branch in the Kherson region.
'I do not have time to deal with all the traitors, but they will gradually all be punished,' he said, adding that the two men had betrayed their oath to defend Ukraine. He did not give specific details.
The occasion marked the first time Zelensky has announced high-profile sackings of those involved in Ukraine's defence.
Zelensky, who often uses colourful imagery, said the Russians were so evil and so keen on destruction that they seemed to be from another world, 'monsters who burn and plunder, who attack and are bent on murder'.
Russia says it is carrying out a 'special operation' to disarm and 'denazify' its neighbour. Moscow also denies Kyiv's accusations that Russian forces are targeting civilians.
Zelensky said Ukrainian forces had pushed back the Russians from Kyiv and Chernihiv - two cities Moscow had announced would no longer be the focus of attacks as they seek to secure the separatist Donbas and Luhansk regions in the south-east.
'There will be battles ahead. We still need to go down a very difficult path to get everything we want,' he said.
'The situation in the south and in the Donbas remains extremely difficult.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674293/Ukraines-Zelenskiy-says-situation-places-tough-fires-officials.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:18Z |
Demi Lovato Supports Ukraine Refugees with 'Choose Love' Tattoo

Demi Lovato is showing support for Ukraine with a new tattoo.
The singer, 29, debuted their new arm ink, which reads "choose love" on Instagram.
Sharing the motivation behind the tattoo in the caption, Lovato wrote, "Choose Love - always. I'm inspired by the work @chooselove and their partners are doing to support refugees around the world, including those fleeing Ukraine."
The musician encouraged their followers to "take action" and donate to the Choose Love foundation to help those impacted by the war in Ukraine. A donation also enters fans into a contest that gives them a chance to win time in the studio with Lovato.
Lovato ended by showing love to the tattoo artist Gusak, writing, "it was such an honor learning about your home country."

The tattoo artist shared Lovato's tattoo on Instagram, thanking them "so much for all you are doing, really appreciate it"
Choose Love foundation also saluted Lovato, noting in an Instagram post of the tattoo that the "Confident" singer is helping raise money for Ukraine. The foundation noted that "all funds will be donated to our Ukraine Crisis Relief fundraiser," adding there's up to $50,000 match in funding."
Russia's attack on Ukraine continues after its forces launched a large-scale invasion on Feb. 24 — the first major land conflict in Europe in decades.

Details of the fighting change by the day, but hundreds of civilians have already been reported dead or wounded, including children. Millions of Ukrainians have also fled, the United Nations says.
"You don't know where to go, where to run, who you have to call. This is just panic," Liliya Marynchak, a 45-year-old teacher in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, told PEOPLE of the moment her city was bombed — one of the numerous accounts of bombardment by the Russians.
The invasion, ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, has drawn condemnation around the world and increasingly severe economic sanctions against Russia.

With NATO forces massing in the region around Ukraine, various countries have also pledged aid or military support to the resistance. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for peace talks — so far unsuccessful — while urging his country to fight back.
Putin insists Ukraine has historic ties to Russia and he is acting in the best security interests of his country. Zelenskyy vowed not to bend.
"Nobody is going to break us, we're strong, we're Ukrainians," he told the European Union in a speech in the early days of the fighting, adding, "Life will win over death. And light will win over darkness."

WILKINSON COUNTY, Ga. — The State Banana Pudding Festival of Georgia happens in Irwinton this Saturday. It's where they will crown the best sweet dish in Georgia.
They will then send the winner off to nationals.
Kathy Brewer Thompson has already collected some banana bounty.
"There's only two spaces -- winners and losers," she said sternly.
Kathy is what you would call a "top banana." She's written her own cookbook.
"All of my siblings -- there's ten of us -- have recipes in there," she said holding it up.
But her mom's banana pudding creation is what put her on the path to glory. It's in the book, but Kathy made some changes to it.
"Now, I'm going to be adding my whole milk," she said while stating you can't use skim or 2% milk. You'll want to listen to every tidbit she rattles off.
Kathy won the State Banana Pudding title, and then she slipped on over to Tennessee and took the national one, too.
"I just jumped up and screamed I was so happy," she recalled.
And Kathy is not a "jump-up-and-scream" person -- to win, she banked a few key things like never using generic ingredients.
"I've done it before and it's not as good, she said.
She even went to 12 stores to find a box of full size Nabisco Vanilla Wafers.
We can't give you all her secrets because she wants to bake her way into another trip to Tennessee where nationals happen, but we can peel back the layers a bit.
Even if she wins it all, it won't be the same.
"I won it in 2019 and that was the last trip we got to make before he went and met Jesus in 2020," she said sadly, as she spoke about her late husband Lamar.
She lost her husband, who was her best friend and biggest fan.
Lamar even wore a banana shirt to nationals and when she won.
"You would have thought I'd won governor of the state," she said.
The fierce competitor is playing with a tender spirit, but she'll put on her game face in Irwinton this weekend and carry on.
"I'll miss him, but he's with me -- he's in my heart," she said touching her chest.
We know she might not go bananas, but she's a good bet for another trophy bowl.
Kathy says another key to a good pudding is patience, patience, patience.
Sign-ups are full, but if you go, you can taste the pudding.
There will also be an arts and crafts festival with 60 vendors.
It runs from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday afternoon. | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/local/state-pudding-festival-in-irwinton-this-weekend-cooking-sweets-2/93-fd71ab80-8ebf-4dbb-a611-b8ae73a336af | 2022-04-01T02:05:20Z |
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — Spokane Valley deputies arrested a man after he threw a stolen handgun onto I-90, according to a press release.
The suspect is six-time convicted felon and prohibited from possessing firearms. He was also in possession of 91 blue pills suspected of containing fentanyl, cash and stolen bank cards.
At approximately 11:45 a.m., a Spokane Valley deputy was checking the area of East Broadway and North Park Road for a domestic violence suspect when someone flagged him down.
The person told the deputy that a man dressed in camouflage was brandishing a gun at a 7-11 before getting into a red van.
As the deputy spoke with the witness, a red Volkswagen van turned on Broadway and began driving westbound. The deputy conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle on Broadway, near North Lily. According to officials, the van continued to roll slowly into the dead-end in the 7100 block of East Broadway.
At this time, the suspect, 22-year-old Harlan M. Jordan, emerged from the van holding the pistol in his hand.
Jordan began running toward the sound barrier wall that runs along I-90. Once the deputy cornered the suspect and ordered him to get on the ground, Jordan ignored the commands and continued running. Jordan finally surrendered after the deputy was able to catch up to him.
Jordan was reportedly holding a wad of cash in his hand when he was taken into custody, and a knife was located.
A check of Jordan's name revealed various felony warrants for his arrest, including first-degree robbery and theft of a motor vehicle.
Jordan's criminal history was revealed to be extensive, as he was revealed to be a six-time convicted felon. The suspect's numerous crimes are as follows:
- Second-degree robbery
- Second-degree burglary
- Two counts of taking a motor vehicle without permission
- Possession of a stolen vehicle
- Attempting to elude a police vehicle
The Spokane Valley Investigative Unit detectives responded to assist with the investigation.
Jordan was booked into the Spokane County Jail for first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of stolen property and obstructing. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/crime/man-arrested-i-90-after-brandishing-gun-7-11/293-d370b738-09f7-4ff9-9eb1-f0f248c122dc | 2022-04-01T02:05:20Z |

Ford, GM to halt production at two Michigan plants in latest supply chain snafus
Supply shortages will force both Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) to halt production at some plants next week, the Detroit News reports.
Ford said Thursday that the ongoing global semiconductor shortage would force it to pause production for the week starting April 4 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan, while the rest of the company's North American plants will continue to run.
The Flat Rock facility started producing the 2022 Ford Mustang in January, but production has been halted multiple times this year because of supply chain constraints.
GM said production at its Lansing Grand River plant, where workers build the Cadillac CT4, Cadillac CT5 and Chevrolet Camaro, will be down next week because of unspecified supply issues not related to the global semiconductor shortfall.
GM previously said the semiconductor shortage would cause a production halt of its Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 at the Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana for two weeks starting April 4. | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3819664-ford-gm-to-halt-production-at-two-michigan-plants-in-latest-supply-chain-snafus | 2022-04-01T02:05:21Z |
Summer hours of operation began at both Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency locations.
The landfill and recycling location, 1954 County Home Road, Marion, is open:
7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday – Friday
Saturdays are by appointment or commercial account only. Appointments are required for all loads, even recycling only loads from customers without a commercial account.
The compost and yard waste location, 2250 A Street SW, Cedar Rapids is open:
8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday – Friday
8 a.m. to noon Saturday
A reminder for those using the compost location in Cedar Rapids, the Mount Trashmore trails and overlook will be opening later this spring when the weather and trail conditions permit.
A couple other spring reminders:
Agency staff are busy getting the site picked up and clear of all the debris that was hidden under the snow and ice. They will be along the haul road and fence lines, so please watch your speed, stay off cell phones, and be aware of your surroundings.
If you see the Agency’s roll-off truck going around the line at the landfill, please know that is because the residential unloading area is full and staff are trying to keep that area moving so smaller residential vehicles do not go to the landfill and get in the way of the larger garbage trucks and trailers. | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/mvlsun/summer-hours-start-at-linn-county-solid-waste-agency/article_2a5ab6f0-d098-5363-bcda-4dfb1d31af1b.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:22Z |
Which wheel cleaner is best?
Chrome and polished aluminum wheels are popular car modifications that can be buffed to a mirror finish. But to properly show off your rims, you’ll need to put in a little elbow grease with some good cleaner. Not only will it keep your wheels sparkling, but it will also help protect them from corrosive contaminants on the road.
Chrome and aluminum require specially tailored formulas, which can make choosing the proper cleaner complicated — it’s the difference between restoring your wheels’ luster and destroying their finish. With the right formula, tools and know-how, you can get your wheels back to their factory finish.
Why it’s important to clean your wheels regularly
The roads are covered in corrosive particles and debris that slowly eat away at your wheels, and it’s not just salt, dirt and rocks that can erode your wheels’ finish. The dust produced by your brake pads is one of the biggest offenders when it comes to tarnishing chrome and aluminum.
Over time, these contaminants ruin your wheels’ appearance and resale value while also degrading their structural integrity. Regularly washing, polishing and waxing your wheels every one to two weeks is the only way to keep them shining and protected from environmental damage.
Chrome wheel cleaner
Chrome wheels are made by electroplating multiple layers of metals — usually nickel and copper — with a final layer of chrome. The resulting wheel has a durable composition that stands up to weather and rough road conditions. Cleaner formulated for chrome is designed to restore this final layer and bring out its classic sheen.
Chrome wheel cleaners come in premixed solutions that use a spray bottle or concentrated gel formulas that you mix in water. Like other wheel cleaners, they typically cost $6-$20.
Chrome wheel cleaner pros
- A specially formulated cleaner for chrome won’t risk harming its finish.
- This cleaner foams to lift dust and debris so you don’t end up grinding dirt back into the surface with a cloth or brush — all you have to do is rinse.
- Chrome wheel cleaner performs better than multipurpose wheel cleaners on this specific metal.
Chrome wheel cleaner cons
- Chrome wheel cleaner doesn’t often work in the opposite direction of multi-surface application and can end up damaging polished aluminum wheels.
- Not all chrome wheel cleaners also work on tires.

Sold by Amazon
Polished aluminum wheel cleaner
Polished aluminum wheel cleaners are the least abrasive cleaner formula. Finding the right one for the job depends on whether or not your polished wheels are clear coated.
Most cars on the road today have aluminum alloy wheels. These are made from composite metal that’s fabricated as a single block of metal. They’re then sealed off with a layer of clear coat.
Polished aluminum rims are raw-metal wheels that are buffed by hand or machine. They don’t have that protective layer of clear paint. For these aftermarket wheels, you need a non-caustic formula that fights oxidization on uncoated surfaces.
Like most wheel cleaners, solutions for polished-aluminum usually cost $6-$20.
Polished aluminum wheel cleaner pros
- Aluminum cleaner is the gentlest and can be used on many wheel types.
- It won’t harm clear coated brake calipers and suspension components in the case of over-spray.
- These cleaners are pH-balanced so they won’t cause spotting or tarnishing.
Polished aluminum wheel cleaner cons
- When used on chrome, aluminum cleaner isn’t as thorough as chrome-specific cleaner.
- It can be harder to find the right cleaner for uncoated aluminum rims, as many formulas are advertised for aluminum but are actually referring to clear coated, mass market aluminum wheels.
Best polished aluminum wheel cleaners
Meguiar’s Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner
If you have uncoated aluminum rims, this is the cleaner to get. It’s designed to remove oxidization, grit and grime without damaging the metal. Because it’s so gentle, you’ll need a soft scrubbing tool like a microfiber towel or brush.

This multipurpose wheel cleaner works on just about every wheel type you can imagine. Its pH-neutral formula works especially well on polished aluminum, as it doesn’t discolor. You can even use it on the aluminum trim of tool boxes, appliances and more.

Flitz Multipurpose Polish and Cleaner Liquid
Car geeks swear by Flitz. Its non-abrasive, chemical formula is great at restoring your uncoated metal’s shine. This is a two-in-one cleaner that removes oxidization and then polishes. If your wheels are particularly grimy, you might want to pair this with a stronger cleaner that can remove any grit first.
Sold by Amazon
Should you get chrome or polished aluminum wheel cleaner?
Both kinds of cleaners do their jobs well — it all depends on what type of wheels you have. While multipurpose cleaners that tackle a variety of wheel types are convenient, they’re often not as strong as dedicated formulas. You’re also taking a risk, as manufacturers can’t always guarantee their claims.
If you’re cleaning chrome wheels, get a chrome-specific cleaner, and if you’re cleaning uncoated aluminum, get an aluminum cleaner. Meguiar’s makes two great products for each of these metals.
