Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 31
AFGHANISTAN, March 31 -
Mason Clark, George Barros, and Karolina Hird
March 31, 6:00 pm ET
Ukrainian forces conducted several local counterattacks around Kyiv, in northeastern Ukraine, and toward Kherson on March 31, successfully pressuring Russian forces and seeking to disrupt ongoing Russian troop rotations. Ukrainian forces northwest of Kyiv pushed Russian forces north of the E-40 highway and will likely assault Russian-held Bucha and Hostomel in the coming days. Ukrainian forces exploited limited Russian withdrawals east of Brovary to retake territory across Kyiv and Chernihiv Oblasts. Ukrainian forces likely conducted counterattacks toward Sumy in the past 24 hours as well, though ISW cannot independently confirm these reports. Finally, Ukrainian forces conducted limited counterattacks in northern Kherson Oblast. Russian forces only conducted offensive operations in Donbas and against Mariupol in the last 24 hours and did not make any major advances.
Russian efforts to redeploy damaged units from the Kyiv and Sumy axes to eastern Ukraine are unlikely to enable Russian forces to conduct major gains. Russia continued to withdraw elements of the 35th and 36th Combined Arms Armies and 76 Air Assault Division from their positions northwest of Kyiv into Belarus for refit and likely further redeployment to eastern Ukraine. However, these units are likely heavily damaged and demoralized. Feeding damaged Eastern Military District units directly into operations in eastern Ukraine—predominantly conducted by the Southern Military District—will likely prove ineffective and additionally introduce further command-and-control challenges for the Russian military. Russian forces will likely attempt to retain their current front lines around Kyiv and in northeastern Ukraine and will continue to dig in on these fronts; ISW has not seen any indicators of Russian forces fully relinquishing captured territory. However, Ukrainian counterattacks are likely disrupting Russian efforts to redeploy and refit their forces and will continue in the coming days.
Key Takeaways
- Ukrainian forces successfully conducted local counterattacks around Kyiv, towards Sumy, and in Kherson Oblast and will likely take further territory—particularly northwest and east of Kyiv—in the coming days.
- Russia is withdrawing elements of its damaged forces around Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy for redeployment to eastern Ukraine, but these units are unlikely to provide a decisive shift in Russian combat power.
- Ukrainian forces continued to repel Russian assaults throughout Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, and Russian forces failed to take territory in the past 24 hours.
- Russian forces continue to steadily advance in Mariupol.
- Russia’s preplanned spring draft will begin on April 1 and does not appear abnormal from Russia’s typical conscription cycle. Newly drafted conscripts will not provide Russia with additional combat power for many months.
- The Kremlin is likely accelerating efforts to establish quasi-state entities to govern occupied Ukrainian territory.
Putin signed a decree on March 31 beginning Russia’s preplanned spring draft, conscripting 134,500 Russians.[1] Russia conducts two prescheduled drafts a year, typically running from April 1 to July 15 and October 1 to December 31.[2] The number of Russian conscripts called up is relatively consistent, including 127,000 in fall 2021 and 134,000 in Spring 2021.[3] New conscripts typically undergo one or two months of basic training followed by three to sixth months of advanced training prior to assignment to specific units, and are precluded by law from deploying to combat with less than four months of training—though the Kremlin could bypass this restriction by announcing a general mobilization.[4] Russia’s Spring 2022 draft does not as of yet appear abnormal from Russia’s typical conscription cycle, but ISW will closely monitor any developments throughout the April 1-July 15 call-up period. Newly drafted conscripts will not provide Russia additional combat power for many months.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported on March 31 that 200 “mercenaries from the Middle East,” likely Syrian troops, arrived at the Gomel military airfield in Belarus on March 29.[5] ISW published an assessment of Russia’s mobilization of reinforcements from Syria and elsewhere to Ukraine earlier on March 31.[6]
The Kremlin is likely accelerating efforts to establish quasi-state entities to govern occupied Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on March 30 that Russia is attempting to set up military-civilian administrations and is preparing to create a “Kherson’s Peoples Republic” to administer occupied southern Ukraine. The General Staff later reported on March 31 that Russia's FSB, the 652nd Group of Information and Psychological Operations, and officers of the 12th Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation are currently overseeing the occupation around Kherson, and the Kremlin is “curating” Russian law enforcement personnel and court officials for deployment to Ukraine at an unspecified future date.[7]
We do not report in detail on the deliberate Russian targeting of civilian infrastructure and attacks on unarmed civilians, which are war crimes, because those activities are well-covered in Western media and do not directly affect the military operations we are assessing and forecasting. We will continue to evaluate and report on the effects of these criminal activities on the Ukrainian military and population and specifically on combat in Ukrainian urban areas. We utterly condemn these Russian violations of the laws of armed conflict, Geneva Conventions, and humanity even though we do not describe them in these reports.
Russian forces are engaged in four primary efforts at this time:
- Main effort—Kyiv (comprised of three subordinate supporting efforts);
- Supporting effort 1—Kharkiv;
- Supporting effort 1a—Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts;
- Supporting effort 2—Mariupol; and
- Supporting effort 3—Kherson and advances northward and westward.
Main effort—Kyiv axis: Russian operations on the Kyiv axis were aimed at encircling the city from the northwest, west, and east. It is unclear if forces on this axis have been given a new mission and, if so, what it might be.
Subordinate main effort along the west bank of the Dnipro
The Ukrainian General Staff reported on March 31 that elements of Russia’s 35th Combined Arms Army (CAA), 36th CAA, and 76th Air Assault Division withdrew from positions northwest of Kyiv into Belarus to restore combat capabilities and possible redeployment to other axes of advance.[8] Belarusian social media users additionally observed a large column of Russian Naval Infantry (vehicles marked with a “V”) moving through Gomel, Belarus towards the Russian border on March 30.[9] These units – particularly the 76th Air Assault Division—have likely suffered extensive damage since February 24 and are highly unlikely to quickly reconstitute their combat power. Russia may seek to redeploy these damaged units to Donbas or into the fighting around Izyum, but they will likely be of limited utility in the short term and face growing morale problems.
Ukrainian counterattacks west of Kyiv since March 29 have reportedly pushed Russian forces north of the critical E-40 highway, the southernmost extent of Russian advances around Kyiv.[10] Local media and social media users reported that Ukrainian forces have recaptured Lisovo, Kapitanivka, Dmytrivka, Kopiliv, and Buzova since March 29. Fighting continued throughout Bucha, Makariv, and Hostomel in the past 24 hours.[11] Ukrainian counterattacks will likely continue to steadily roll back Russian-occupied territory northwest of Kyiv in the coming days, but a sustained Ukrainian offensive to drive Russian forces out of artillery range of Kyiv would likely require a greater concentration of forces.
Subordinate supporting effort — Chernihiv and Sumy axis
Ukrainian forces are taking advantage of Russian force withdrawals of damaged units around Brovary to conduct successful counterattacks. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on March 31 that Russia continues to withdraw elements of its forces around Brovary for redeployment elsewhere, and the Kyiv Oblast administration stated its observed Russian forces withdrawing from Baryshivska, Kalityanska, and Velykodymerska on March 31.[12] Social media users reported that Ukrainian forces recaptured Ploske, Svitylnya, and Hrebelky (all east of Brovary) on March 30 and entered Nova Basan on March 31.[13]
A separate Ukrainian counterattack reportedly recaptured Sloboda, just south of Chernihiv city, on March 30.[14] The Ukrainian General Staff stated on March 31 that elements of Russia’s 2nd CAA, 41st CAA, and 90th Tank Division are operating around Chernihiv and concentrated on reinforcing their defensive positions around Chernihiv in the last 24 hours.[15] The General Staff additionally stated that it expects Russian forces to intensify their fire against Ukrainian forces in the coming days to cover the redeployment of Russian forces.[16]
Ukrainian forces are likely conducting successful counterattacks in Sumy Oblast but the advances claimed by local authorities are likely false. Sumy Regional State Administration head Dmytro Zhyvytskyi claimed on March 31 that all of Sumy Oblast except the Konotop area has been liberated from Russian forces.[17] This claim is highly likely to be false, as we have observed no evidence of Ukrainian forces pushing the Russian military back to the international border or completely relieving Sumy. However, Ukrainian forces are likely successfully conducting counterattacks toward Sumy, supporting similar operations in Chernihiv Oblast. ISW will update this assessment as more information is available.

Supporting Effort #1—Kharkiv:
The Ukrainian General Staff reported on March 30-31 that Russian forces are assembling forces previously withdrawn from other lines of Russian advance to form “strike groups” reinforced with artillery to the Izyum area.[18] Russian forces likely intend to advance southeast from existing positions around Izyum to link up with Russian forces advancing west in Luhansk Oblast, but damaged Russian units redeployed from northeastern Ukraine will likely be of limited utility in the near future.
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that Russian aircraft and loitering munitions targeted four Ukrainian command posts and an S-300 air defense system south of Izyum on March 31, though ISW cannot independently confirm this claim.[19] Russian forces continued to shell Kharkiv but did not conduct any assaults on the city in the past 24 hours.[20]
Supporting Effort #1a—Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts:
Ukrainian forces continued to repel Russian assaults throughout Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, particularly concentrated on Popasna and Rubizhne, in the past 24 hours.[21] The Ukrainian General Staff reported at 6:00 am local time on March 31 that Ukrainian forces repelled five enemy attacks over the previous 24 hours and claimed to have destroyed 10 tanks, 18 armored and 13 unarmored vehicles, and 15 artillery systems.[22] The General Staff additionally stated that the Russian air force intensified its operational tempo in the Donbas region in the past 24 hours.[23] The Russian General Staff claimed that LNR forces captured Zhytlivka (northwest of Severodonetsk) and Zolota Nyva (southwest of Donetsk) on March 31, but ISW cannot verify this claim.[24]

Supporting Effort #2—Mariupol:
Russian forces likely continued to advance in Mariupol on March 31.[25] DNR and LNR officials claimed that DNR forces are involved in Russian operations in Mariupol alongside Russian forces.[26]
Click here to expand the map below.
Supporting Effort #3—Kherson and advances northward and westwards:
Ukrainian forces conducted successful counterattacks in several areas along the southern front on March 31. Ukrainian forces recaptured Orlove, Zagradivka, and Kochubeyevka in northern Kherson Oblast.[27] Ukrainian Air Assault Forces additionally claimed to recapture Zatyshshya, Malynivka, Vesele, Zelenyi Hai, and Chervone in Zaporizhia Oblast on March 31.[28] The Ukrainian General Staff reported Russian forces concentrated their efforts on maintaining their current positions.[29]
Immediate items to watch
- Russian forces will likely capture Mariupol or force the city to capitulate within the coming days;
- Russian reinforcements may enable a renewed Russian offensive through Slovyansk to link up with Russian forces in Luhansk Oblast;
- Russian withdrawals from near Kyiv and Chernihiv will become significant if Russian troops begin to pull back from front-line positions around either city.

Driver escapes after car riddled with bullets in California drive-by shooting
SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. (KOVR) – Authorities in a small California community are investigating after they say a driver was forced to pull over, then shot several times while still in the vehicle.
Neighbor Connie Ternes in the small town of Hood said the incident was shocking.
“I can’t even fathom that that would happen out here,” she said. “This is pretty quiet of an area, somewhat isolated from things like that.”
Locals Darcy and Lance Seppi live on a property nearby and heard the gunfire.
“I started hearing shots, ‘Boom, boom, boom,’” Darcy Seppi said.
Investigators with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said the driver of a Land Rover was forced off the main road by another driver who then started shooting.
The Land Rover ended up riddled with more than 20 bullet holes.
“It is stunning that the victim walked away to see another day,” Sgt. Rodney Grassmann said.
The victim crawled to the passenger side and escaped into an open field to call police, taking shots to the stomach and back.
Investigators are working to determine if the individuals knew each other.
“There could be many things,” Grassmann said. “Perhaps there was an unknown road rage incident where that driver had done something that offended the other driver. I don’t think the public has to worry about some crazed person randomly shooting at people.”
The neighbors say the shooting is unusual in the small town of around 300 people, and they are left questioning the motive.
“I can’t wrap my head around it,” Ternes said. “Who would do that? What is the reason in the middle of the night, shooting at someone so many times?”
Investigators say they do not believe the incident was gang-related.

Patty Evers looks back at coaching in McDonald’s All-American game
ELIZABETHTOWN — Just 48 hours after coaching the East squad to a 95-75 McDonald’s All-American girls victory in Chicago, East Bladen basketball coach Patty Evers had a chance to reflect on her experience.
”Being in Chicago was absolutely amazing,” she said. “Everyone was so nice and kind to all of us.
“It was all well organized,” she added. “Joe Wooten, head of the games, gave us a detailed practice plan every day and it was very structured.”
Evers said the players were all business.
“When we were in practice all of the girls were locked in,” she said. “There was no playing around — our girls were very competitive and loved competing every day in practice.”
Getting to watch and coach some of the best high-school girls basketball players left a lasting impression on Evers.
“Being around the best of the best in the country, both boys and girls, didn’t seem real, but it was,” she said. “The talent level of the girls was off the charts. It was truly amazing coaching and watching them in practice.
“The speed of the game was so much faster than what I am used to and the moves and athleticism were unbelievable,” she added. “Our girls enjoyed playing defense and could really shoot the 3-ball.”
On her second full day in Chicago, Evers and her two assistant coaches from East Bladen — Alan West and Megan Kirby — got to see up close just what the girls on both the East and West teams could do.
“We had a scrimmage versus the West team on Sunday, which was exciting because the winner of the game would use the nicer locker room for the All-American game,” she said. “The girls were very pumped and excited and we ended up winning it with a 3 at the buzzer. We were tied with 12 seconds to play and fought back from a 14-point deficit.
“I think that set the tone for practice on Monday leading up to the big game on Tuesday,” Evers added. “Our girls were so determined to play better and they did. The myth behind the locker room was that, 90% of the time, if you won the scrimmage, you lost in the big game, so it was nice to win both.”
Evers emphasized that it was good to have Indya Nivar from Apex Friendship High in Cary on her East team.
“She is very talented and won the skills competition at the Jam Fest,” she said. “She is going to Stanford and is a phenomenal player and person.”
During her 26-year coaching career, which includes 21 at east Bladen and five at Tar Heel, Evers said the McDonald’s All-American win is right up there with the best.
“Every win is nice (but) this ranks high,” she said. “I can’t disregard all of the conference championships, sectional titles, regional titles our girls have won at East Bladen. Those were some of the best moments of my life. I would rank this with them.
“Without our girls and their hard work, at both Tar Heel and East Bladen, coaching in this game would not have been possible,” Evers added.
She also said there is going to be a documentary in the future that she, West and Kirby will be a part of, since this was the 45th anniversary of the all-star game. | https://www.bladenjournal.com/sports/42523/the-talent-level-was-off-the-charts | 2022-04-01T02:06:09Z |

Summer vacations were once an annual tradition for millions of families across the globe. Warm weather getaways to idyllic beaches and welcoming resorts have long helped families make lasting memories, and revisiting that trend can be good for everyone.
Family vacation plans were put on the back burner during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a survey, 40 percent of respondents canceled vacation plans during the pandemic, while an additional 29 percent didn’t plan a vacation at all. But the pandemic alone cannot be blamed for people’s unwillingness to take time off from work, as pre-pandemic studies noted how professionals had increasingly begun to work longer hours and take fewer vacation days. For example, data from the U.S. Travel Association indicates that American workers failed to use 768 million vacation days in 2018.
Pandemic-related cancellations and postponements proved a bitter pill to swallow, and that sour taste could be one reason why travel bounced back in a big way in 2021. The hotel market data firm STR, Inc. reported that hotel occupancy reached nearly 70 percent in July 2021. That’s no doubt due to the successful rollout of coronavirus vaccines. This summer could be even better for the travel and tourism industry, as children as young as five are now eligible to be vaccinated, and there’s hope that children younger than five will be soon. That means more families will likely be on the lookout for vacation spots, and the following are some qualities they can look for as they search for the perfect place to spend their summer vacations.
Affordability
Travel costs have spiked in the aftermath of the pandemic, and that may stretch families’ budgets thin. Data from the energy and commodities information provider S&P Global Platts. indicates that jet fuel prices have been rising somewhat steadily since mid-2020, and that spike could lead to higher airfare costs this summer. In addition, families should compare the cost of hotel lodging versus single-family homes on sites such as Airbnb or Vrbo. The latter might have more budget-friendly inventory.
Accessibility
Families won’t want to travel only to find out local attractions are closed or open on a more limited basis. Before booking a trip, confirm the rules and regulations in a given locale and contact local tourist attractions, such as theme parks, to confirm that they’ll be open for business as usual this summer.
Kid-friendly activities
After more than two years locked up at home, parents may be dreaming of spending a week doing little more than sitting on a beach. However, kids may grow antsy after a day or so with their toes in the sand. Many all-inclusive resorts include kid-friendly activities, such as sailing lessons or arts and crafts sessions, that give moms and dads a break and keep youngsters engaged in a fun way.
Dining
Research local restaurants when perusing destinations to confirm there’s plenty of dining options. Parents have done more than their fair share of cooking at home since the onset of the pandemic, so a great vacation spot is one that includes an array of dining options to give parents time off from cooking detail.
As families prepare for their first vacations in more than two years this summer, parents can look for locales that cater to their needs without breaking the bank. | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/mvlsun/what-to-look-for-in-a-family-vacation-spot/article_564c1e79-c271-5143-a8bb-eed2abd4b1f6.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:11Z |
Which iPad case is best?
When you purchase something with a high price tag like a tablet, you want to be sure it’s protected from falls, spills and other mishaps. Beyond protection, many users also purchase iPad cases that offer additional benefits like stands, keyboards, trackpads and storage solutions. Depending on your priorities, you may prefer one type of case to the next, though most buyers can find one to accommodate their needs, preferences and budgets.
The Logitech Combo Touch for iPad offers a keyboard and adjustable stand, making it a great pick for most buyers.
What to know before you buy an iPad case
Your iPad
Determining what iPad cases work for you depends mostly on the type of iPad you have, as well as how you usually use it. You can find iPad cases for all of Apple’s iPad models, though they range in size depending on which iPad version you have. Cases also vary in the features and styles they offer, so you’ll want to choose one based on how you use your iPad.
Types of iPad cases
There are different types of iPad cases that offer varying benefits.
- Protective shell: For the utmost protection, protective shells wrap around the sides and back of an iPad to protect the screen from drops and falls. Shell cases come in a range of materials, though they don’t typically cover the screen.
- Sleeve: Sleeves for iPads are great for backpack and bag transportation, preventing scratches and boasting a lightweight design. A sleeve is less protective than a shell case from drop and fall damage.
- Folio: Folio cases fold over an iPad’s screen, not unlike a book cover. These offer a balance of protection from falls and from scratches. High-end folio cases may also include extra features such as keyboards and trackpads.
Material
You can find iPad cases in a wide range of materials that vary in protectiveness, weight and style. The most common materials for cases include hard plastic and polyurethane, though you can find several others. Plastic and polyurethane cases are known for their durability and protective qualities, while other materials may offer more stylish looks.
What to look for in a quality iPad case
Compatibility
Apple’s iPads are made in different sizes, so it’s important to choose a case compatible with your generation. The standard iPad has remained the same size since the iPad 2, so as long as you have a newer generation than that, it will fit with a range of cases. Apple’s iPad Pro, Air and Mini models differ in size from each other and older generations, so it’s important to check what version and generation your case is designed for.
Adjustable stand
Most iPad cases include a stand, while premium cases include multiple positions to adjust the stand to. Most buyers prefer a case with an adjustable stand because they let users customize the tablet’s angle to work best, no matter where they are.
Features
Other features to look out for include tools such as keyboards and trackpads. These are great tools for professionals on the go, or others who often use a keyboard and trackpad. Another common feature found on iPad cases is storage for the Apple Pencil, which can be useful if you have the tool.
How much you can expect to spend on an iPad case
For most iPad cases, you can expect to spend around $20. You can buy cheap iPad cases for as low as $12, while high-end cases can cost over $150.
iPad case FAQ
Can iPad cases fit all iPads?
A. Cases for iPads aren’t universal. To choose the right case, you’ll need to measure your iPad, or base your purchase on the model of iPad you have — whether it’s the standard iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad Mini. Standard iPads are the same size for generations 2, 3 and 4, while the newest generations of the iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad Mini are all sized differently than their predecessors.
Are iPad cases compatible with the Magic Keyboard?
A. Most iPad cases are not compatible with the Magic Keyboard. Magic Keyboards act as cases themselves, though some buyers want something more protective to go along with the combination case. You can find a few products claiming to work with Apple’s Magic Keyboard, though the reviews reveal issues that you may or may not be able to put up with.

NORWALK — A city man was charged with unlawful restraint and assault after he allegedly attacked a woman, police said.
Francesco Galati, 35, was taken into custody Tuesday, according to Lt. Joseph Dinho, a spokesperson for the Norwalk Police Department.
Galati’s arrest came after the victim arrived at police headquarters Monday and accused him of attacking her two days earlier, Dinho said.
The woman told police Galati arrived at her home on March 26 and verbally confronted her about a social media communication she had made. Dinho said she stated that she attempted to activate a panic alarm in the bedroom, but that Galati blocked her attempts and then took her cell phone.
“She reports that she was then assaulted by Galati, who would not let her leave,” Dinho said.
Galati was charged with third-degree assault, first-degree unlawful restraint and interfering with an emergency call. Dinho said he surrendered himself to police and was held on a court-set bond of $100,000. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 5.

ALABAMA (WHNT) – News 19, the Hill, and Emerson College conducted a poll highlighting voter opinions heading into the 2022 Alabama primary election. When asked who they plan to vote for in the U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races, the majority of respondents reported they remain undecided.
Three candidates are currently on the Democratic ballot for U.S. Senate: pastor and former educator Will Boyd, U.S. Army veteran Lanny Jackson, and former Brighton Mayor Brandaun Dean.
Boyd is polling the highest with 11% of respondents saying he would be their pick. He is followed by Jackson with 7% and Dean with 5%.
Victor Williams was removed from the ballot by the Alabama Democratic Party after he announced his support for former President Trump earlier this month.
The largest group of voters at 67% remain undecided.
Moving forward in the race, the candidates face the challenge of getting their names and platforms in front of voters.
“You’ve got to move beyond just TV commercials and radio commercials,” said News 19 political analyst David Person. “There has got to be a personal connection that is made with as many of the voters as possible.”
In the Democratic gubernatorial race, six candidates have qualified for the primary.
Yolanda Flowers leads with 11% of those polled saying they plan to vote for her. She is followed by businessman Doug Smith with 8%, current district 23 Alabama Senator Malika Sander-Fortier with 8%, Arthur Kennedy with 7%, businessman Chad ‘Chig’ Martin with 4%, and Patricia Jamieson with 3%.
Compared to the Republican primary, less campaign funds have been raised and spent in the Democratic race for governor. However, Person said campaigns without big financial supporters still have the potential to win over voters.
“You can raise money in small increments from lots of people if you do the work, if you do the fundamental work that politicians have to do to cultivate support,” Person said.
According to state campaign filings, the Jamieson campaign has raised the most funds with contributions totaling over $18,000.
Alabama is an open primary state meaning voters can choose which primary they want to vote in regardless of their party affiliation. Of those polled, only 34% said they planned to vote in the Democratic primary election. 66% said they would vote in the Republican primary. | https://whnt.com/news/poll-democratic-voters-remain-largely-undecided/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:12Z |

The San Diego Padres have traded James Norwood of New York, New York to the Philadelphia Phillies for minor league infielder Kervin Pirchado of Bronx, New York and cash according to Steve Adams of mlbtraderumors.com. The Phillies become the third Major League team Norwood has played for. He previously played three seasons with the Chicago Cubs, in addition to the Padres.
Norwood only pitched five games last season for San Diego. However, he was very effective, as in five innings pitched, the right hander did not give up an earned run. Norwood did give up six hits and three walks in the 23 batters he faced, to go along with three strikeouts. He also had a WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) of 1.80.
The earned run average of 0.00 in 2021 was a sharp contrast to the 16.20 ERA Norwood had in 2020 with the Cubs. In an inning and two thirds, he gave up three earned runs, four hits, and one walk for an earned run average of 16.20 and a WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) of 3.00.
For Norwood’s career, he has pitched only 28 games with a record of zero wins and two losses, with an earned run average of 3.67. In 27 innings pitched, he has given up 33 hits, 11 earned runs, one home run, and had 24 strikeouts, 17 walks, and three wild pitches, with a WHIP of 1.85.
Norwood is now added to a Phillies bullpen that includes projected closer Corey Knebel of Denton, Texas, along with relievers Jeurys Familia of Yaguate, Dominican Republic, Brad Hand of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Connor Brogdon of Clovis, California. Knebel played last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and had three saves in 27 games.
In four seasons, Norwood has not pitched enough for him to be considered a huge difference maker for the Phillies in 2022. Philadelphia is currently at +2200 odds to win the World Series according to Bet Online. | https://thesportsdaily.com/2022/03/31/padres-trade-james-norwood-to-the-phillies-for-a-minor-leaguer-and-cash/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:12Z |
After a long wait and lots of teasing, the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is finally here. It gives the brand a hot hatch to sell in the United States for the first time in ages.
Under the hood, there's the G16E-GTS 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine making 300 horsepower (224 kilowatts) at 6,500 rpm and 273 pound-feet (370 Newton-meters) from 3,000 to 5,500 rpm. The power runs through a six-speed manual gearbox with rev-matching functionality. The GR-Four all-wheel-drive system has selectable 60-40, 50-50, and 30-70 front-rear torque split settings, depending on the driver's preference.
Gallery: 2023 Toyota GR Corolla
Toyota's announcement doesn't offer any performance estimates, so we don't know how quickly the GR Corolla gets to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) or what its top speed is.
As a rough point of comparison, the European-market Toyota GR Yaris reaches 62 mph (100 kph) in less than 5.5 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). While it shares the 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with the Corolla, that version of the mill makes 257 hp (192 kW) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm). Also, the GR Yaris weighs 2,822 pounds (1,280 kilograms), versus 3,249 pounds (1,474 kilograms) for the new GR Corolla.
What Makes It Special?
The GR Corolla uses a modified version of the GA-C platform that has additional weld points for the frame to strengthen joints and extensive use of structural adhesive. The hood and front door panels are aluminum to save weight. The body gains canards on the corners to channel air down the flanks and widened fenders. The underfloor is flat to reduce drag.
The hot hatch's suspension consists of MacPherson-type struts for the front and a double-wishbone design at the back. The meaner Corolla rides on 18-inch, 15-spoke wheels with a gloss-black finish that have Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires in size 235/40R18.
For braking, the hot hatch has 14 x 1.1-inch ventilated and slotted rotors with four-piston calipers in front. At the back, there are 11.7 x 0.7-inch ventilated discs with two-piston calipers.
The GR Corolla's interior features a 12.3-inch digital infotainment display. The screen includes views of the selected all-wheel-drive mode, turbo pressure, gear position indicator, and tachometer. The driver operates a short-throw shifter that Toyota says has a position "where the driver's arm is naturally lowered from steering." There's also an 8.0-inch infotainment screen on the center of the dashboard.
Core Or Circuit Edition?
The GR Corolla will launch in the US with two trim levels: the base Core model that arrives later in 2022 or the first-model-year exclusive Circuit Edition that's coming in 2023.
The GR Corolla Core is available in white, black, and Supersonic Red. Inside, there are fabric-covered sport seats and a black and silver color scheme. As an option, there's a Cold Weather package that adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The Technology package includes navigation, an upgraded stereo, and wireless smartphone charging.
The Circuit Edition offers a performance upgrade, including having a forged carbon-fiber roof. This trim is available in white, Supersonic Red, and Heavy Metal. The brake calipers are red and have the GR logo.
The Circuit comes with Torsen limited-slip differentials for the front and rear axle. These parts are an optional upgrade as part of the Core model's Performance Package.
For an aesthetic upgrade, the Circuit has a hood bulge with functional vents. The nose wears a gloss black grille. It also has a matte-black rear spoiler, rather than a gloss finish for the Core model.
Inside, it has a Brin Naub faux suede and synthetic leather upholstery throughout the cabin in a black and red color scheme. Navigation and an eight-speaker stereo are part of the package. The Circuit also has automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
Pricing isn't yet available for either grade of the GR Corolla. Buyers get a complimentary one-year membership in the National Auto Sport Association.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul said Ayush Badoni is a strong 360-degree player and an asset for white-ball cricket in India, after the youngster displayed his skills with the bat in a six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match on Thursday (March 31). Badoni (19 not out in 9 balls), who scored a half-century in the previous game and nicknames ‘Baby AB’, joined forces with Evin Lewis (55 not out) towards the end to help the Super Giants chase down a mammoth 211-run target.
“Badoni, I’d seen a few videos, when you only get to see the good shots, but the way he’s been batting is phenomenal. Strong, 360-degree player, a great find for India and an asset for white-ball cricket,” Rahul said at the post-match presentation.
Badoni remained unbeaten on 19 which featured a couple of sixes. The first of his two sixes, against Shivam Dube in the penultimate over of the chase – flicked over deep mid-wicket hit a girl in the stands flush on her head. Thankfully the spectator wasn’t seriously hurt.
WATCH Ayush Badoni’s incredible six here...
Irrespective of How @LucknowIPL fare this year, Ayush Badoni should be in the lineup for all the matches.
Baby AB. #CSKvLSG #TATAIPL #AyushBadoni pic.twitter.com/PCrR4WFHBC— Deepak Dwivedi (@deepakdwivedi14) March 31, 2022
The skipper also lavished praise on another youngster – leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi – who did a brilliant job with the ball and was the most economical bowler for his side, registering figures of 2/24. “Bishnoi has a big heart, he’s a fighter for a little guy, shows the character he has to bounce back (from the last game) with a wet ball. Really happy for him, he wants to grow, wants to learn, and good to see that,” Rahul added.
CSK captain Ravindra Jadeja rued the missed catches by his team, including the drop catch by Moeen Ali off Quinton de Kock on 30. De Kock went on to make 61. “We had a very good start, Robbie (Uthappa) and Shivam Dube were playing brilliantly. We had a good start, but in fielding, we have to take catches then you’ll win matches. We should have taken those chances.
“There was a lot of dew, the ball wasn’t sticking to the hand. Next time, we have to practise with the wet ball. We batted brilliantly in the top six and in the middle overs. The wicket was very good to bat on. As a bowling unit, we need to execute our plans.”

By SUMAN NAISHADHAM – ƒ
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Environmental Protection Agency stuck to a Trump-era environmental policy and said Thursday it would not regulate a drinking water contamination that has been linked to brain damage in infants.
The agency said the Trump administration’s decision in 2020 not to regulate perchlorate in drinking water was made using the “best available peer-reviewed science.” The chemical is used in rocket fuel and fireworks.
At the time, Trump’s EPA said that perchlorate was not found in drinking water widely enough or “at a level of public health concern” to warrant federal regulation. The decision was one of many rollbacks or eliminations of existing or pending public health and environmental safeguards during the Trump era. The Biden administration ordered a review of that decision early in his tenure.
EPA Assistant Administrator Radhika Fox said the agency is applying “the right tools to help protect public health.”
Environmental groups have criticized the Biden government’s decision.

“Trump EPA gave perchlorate a pass; It was a bad decision then, and it’s a bad decision now,” said Erik Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s advocacy group. “Tap water across America will remain contaminated with this toxic chemical.”
Perchlorate from drains contaminates the drinking water of up to 16 million Americans, the Obama administration said in 2011 when it announced that the EPA would set maximum limits on the chemical compound for the first time. It has been used in the US for decades, particularly in the military and defense industries, and is commonly found in ammunition, fireworks, matches, and flares.
Exposure to the compound can harm developing fetuses and children and cause a measurable drop in IQ in newborns, the American Academy of Pediatrics said in 2019 when calling for strict federal limits. It harms human development by interfering with the functioning of the thyroid gland.
In its 2020 review, the EPA said government regulations and cleanup activities at contaminated sites had reduced the health risks posed by the compound. Massachusetts and California, for example, limit perchlorate in drinking water to 2 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion, respectively.
“But the problem is that states haven’t set standards for the rest of the country,” said Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council. He said the compound was “on the top tier of problematic chemicals in our water.”
In the Southwest, perchlorate was discovered in groundwater entering Lake Mead, Nevada. Manufacturing facilities in Henderson, Nevada were the source of the chemical. The EPA said cleaning activities at two industrial sites in the state between 2002 and 2006 resulted in reduced perchlorate levels in data since made available by Nevada’s environmental and water agencies.
The EPA said Thursday it was considering other steps besides a state drinking water limit, such as B. Setting standards at open burn and detonation sites where severe perchlorate contamination occurs from the combustion of hazardous by-products of arms manufacture and ammunition. One such location is in Colfax, Louisiana, where environmentalists have long advocated for reform.
However, environmentalists say such measures are not enough.
“Put simply, toxic chemicals used in rocket fuel don’t belong in our drinking water,” said John Rumpler, senior attorney at Environment America.
AP reporter Matthew Daly contributed to this report.

Oxford college then run by Alan Rusbridger 'imposed blanket gagging order on woman who claimed she was raped - and the former Guardian editor desperately to convince her not to complain'
- Lady Margaret Hall is said to have warned the woman she would be expelled if she told the press about the alleged attack or the college's safeguarding policies
- The non-disclosure agreement was imposed when former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger was principal of the college at Oxford between 2015 to 2021
- Mr Rusbridger said measures were taken to 'protect and support the woman'
- Professor Christine Gerrard, who is the college's new principal, has settled the claim this week and agreed to pay damages and meet the woman's legal costs
An Oxford college imposed a 'blanket gagging order' on a student who alleged she was violently raped by another undergraduate, it was reported last night.
Lady Margaret Hall is said to have warned the woman she would be expelled if she told the press about the alleged attack or the college's safeguarding policies.
The woman told The Times that her alleged attacker, with whom she was in a relationship, entered her room while she was asleep and raped her.
The man, who strongly denied the allegation and has never been charged with any offence, is said to have explained away scratches on his face and neck as being from 'rough sex'.
Lady Margaret Hall (pictured) is said to have warned the woman she would be expelled if she told the press about the alleged attack or the college's safeguarding policies
The non-disclosure agreement was imposed when former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger was principal of Lady Margaret Hall from 2015 to 2021, the paper reported.
In the woman's legal complaint, she accused the college of negligence, breach of contract, discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
She said Mr Rusbridger, who stepped down last year, had tried 'desperately to convince her not to complain'.
He denied there was a gagging order and said the college had responded to the woman's complaint with an '18-page legal document which firmly disputed, denied or rebutted virtually all of the claims'.
Mr Rusbridger said extensive measures were taken to 'protect and support the woman'.
But Professor Christine Gerrard, the college's new principal, settled the claim this week and agreed to pay damages and meet the woman's legal costs.
Lady Margaret Hall did not admit liability but said it would become the first Oxford college to sign a Government-backed pledge for universities not to use gagging orders against students.
Mr Rusbridger (pictured) said extensive measures were taken to 'protect and support the woman'.
Professor Gerrard said there was 'scope for improvement' in the handling of sexual assault allegations. Proposals include a review of welfare services.
The alleged attacker was briefly suspended from the university but returned in September, it was reported.
That month, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case and the college imposed gagging clauses on the pair. An internal inquiry began the following January and took seven months to conclude it could not be sure the rape occurred.
The investigation was not aware the alleged attacker had previously been reported to college authorities by a different student for barging into her bedroom and behaving in a sexually threatening manner.
The woman said: 'I've lost count of the members of staff who tried to silence, scare, threaten and undermine me.'
A university spokesman said: 'Oxford does not use non-disclosure agreements to prevent students from reporting sexual misconduct.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674561/Student-silenced-Oxford-claim-raped-halls-storm-erupts-gagging-order.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:13Z |

Amit Bathla
Panchkula, March 31
In another complaint with regard to the construction of houses with a stilt parking plus four floors, three senior citizens of Mansa Devi Complex, Sector 4, have alleged that multiple cracks have developed in the walls of their house (No. 331) and it has become “unsafe for habitation” and they had to rent a 14-marla house in the same area.
Construction of stilt parking plus four floors in adjoining plot
The constructing of a stilt parking plus four floors is going on at the adjoining plot (No. 332).
First, they approached the Haryana Shahri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) for relief, but to now avail. They today approached the SDM and the police to get the construction work on their adjoining plot stopped, they stated.
The aggrieved family, Vijay Vadehra, his wife Geeta Vadehra and their nephew, Dr Rajiv Vadehra, had submitted a complaint to the Estate Officer, HSVP, explaining the damage caused to their house due to the ongoing construction in the adjoining plot.
“Cracks have also developed in the granite slab of the kitchen counter. The windowpanes of the wooden cabinet in the drawing room initially developed cracks and thereafter broke down completely. Cracks have also developed in the common wall and in the walls perpendicular to the common wall between Plot No.332 and the adjoining House No.333 on the other side,” they said.
They alleged, “The builder carrying out the construction of stilt plus four floors on the adjoining plot refused to assume responsibility for taking any corrective steps.”
They have also submitted a representation in this regard to the state government. “Until and unless the officials of the HSVP are fully satisfied and are in a position to take responsibility regarding the structural safety of the building under construction on plot number 332 and of their gravely damaged house (No. 331), it will not be safe for them to shift back to their own house,” said Dr Rajiv Vadhera.
Police complaint
In a police complaint, the family alleged that the supervisor working at the adjoining property damaged the common wall and entered their house without their consent and started arguing with them. “We had to dial 112. The police arrived there but by the evening, the construction work resumed,” said Dr Vadhera.
Matter under consideration
In February, the Chief Architect, HSVP (Headquarters), had written to the chief engineers (both I and II), Panchkula, to take necessary action on the issue of construction of stilt parking plus four floors, following an advice of structural experts. Many residents of the city had submitted a representation to the HSVP Chief Administrator, urging him to immediately stop the construction of stilt parking plus four floors (allowed as per amendments to the Haryana Building Code, 2017).

The Elba City Council meeting Monday night, March 28, included a quick address to council members from the current Wiregrass Economic Development Corporation executive director.
Jesse Quillen joined Wiregrass Economic Development several months ago, and according to Mayor Tom Maddox, he has been making visits to Elba businesses “getting to know the people and industries” in the area.
In a quick address to the council, Quillen said he had visited several businesses in Elba, including Dorsey, INZI, Kelley’s, National Security, and more. He said it had all been quite an experience, and the common thing he had found in Elba is seeing opportunity.
“Most of these businesses are looking to add jobs right now, and even though it is hard to find help, there is pressure there for the entities to grow,” Quillen said. “I also have seen some opportunities here for new business growth in Elba.”
Council member Gappa Wise noted that Quillen had been very visible in Elba.
“We appreciate it,” Wise said. “It is good to have a friend here from Wiregrass Economic Development.”
Officer Shayne Arnett provided an activity report on behalf of Chief Troy Staley during the meeting. Staley could not be at the meeting to present the report himself.
From Jan. 1 through Feb. 28, Arnett said the department had made 23 arrests with 35 charges. Among those charges were eight for possession of a controlled substance, nine for possession of marijuana, one for illegal possession of a prescription drug, and 17 for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Assistant city clerk Amy Giles gave the city clerk’s report. She noted that the baseball and softball seasons for Elba’s Parks and Recreation had begun.
Giles said the city was in the process of getting quotes for the repair of the TigerTown Park bathrooms. These have been closed for several months due to fire damage.
Council member Jane Brunson asked if a rush could be put on this repair work as the city’s Splash Pad would open at the end of May for the season. She said it would be good to have the bathrooms repaired and open again before the extra traffic begins visiting TigerTown Park and the Splash Pad.
Giles said the city’s birthday is April 13th and Elba Elementary School students had been asked to create artwork to be displayed in the window of the old dime store building in celebration of the city’s birthday.
Council members approved a motion to reappoint John Nelson to another term as supernumerary on the Zoning Board of Adjustments.
Also, during the meeting, Mayor Maddox said a new administrative assistant would begin work at city hall Monday, April 4. He said Sandra Berry had been with Cato Corporation since 1999, and he was pleased to have her join the Elba City Hall staff.
Maddox noted seven more properties are ready for FEMA buyout, and those buyouts are scheduled for April 8th.
The next Elba City Council meeting is set for Monday, April 11, at 5:30 p.m. | https://www.elba-clipper.com/news/wiregrass-economic-development-director-says-he-sees-opportunity-in-elba/article_be84b974-b07c-11ec-8a15-7b7cb15196dd.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:16Z |

NORWALK — Police said an enraged city man violated a protective order against him and strangled a woman at her home Tuesday.
David Osler, 41, was charged with third-degree strangulation, violation of a protective order, disorderly conduct and risk of injury to a child, according to Norwalk Police Department arrest records.
Lt. Joseph Dinho, a spokesperson for the department, said Osler was taken into custody after officers responded to a Baxter Drive residence for a report of a woman asking for help.
Upon arrival, the complainant told the responding officers that the man took her cell phone following a verbal argument, Dinho said.
“She stated that the incident turned physical and she was attacked by her (the man),” Dinho said.
The attack, Dinho said, took place in front of a child, but the child was not involved in the altercation and was not injured during the incident.
Osler, who was found guilty of misdemeanor assault last year, according to court records, was held on a $150,000 bond, Dinho said. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 1.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A firefighter helping in Wears Valley on Wednesday captured intense video showing how strong winds affected efforts to contain the wildfire on Hatcher Mountain.
Tom Lucas is a firefighter with Sevierville Fire Department who volunteers with Walden’s Creek Volunteer Fire Department.
“There were many moments of extreme intensity due to high levels of changing wind speeds and conditions.” said Lucas, “One minute, things were pretty calm and out of nowhere, wind driven fire would make you seek shelter.”
The wildfire spread quickly. As of Thursday, 3,700 acres have burned and more than 100 structures have been damaged. The blaze is about 30% contained, fire officials said. An evacuation was ordered for parts of Wears Valley, Walden’s Creek and near Pigeon Forge.
The video shows strong wind pushing the fire across a roadway as sparks and flames spiral in the air.
“All of the firefighters had to be very vigilant of their surroundings and keep their head on a swivel. Things would change in a moment’s notice,” he said. | https://whnt.com/news/tennessee-news/firefighters-video-shows-intensity-of-sevier-county-wildfires-amid-flame-swirling-embers/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:18Z |

Which Microsoft Surface tablet is best?
Microsoft Surface tablets are often overlooked in favor of other traditional tablets, but they’re perfect for anyone who wants a lightweight device that can function as a laptop.
Microsoft Surface tablets are high-powered and excellent for all kinds of computing tasks. There are several models, but Microsoft Surface Pro 8 is the best of them all, thanks to its dazzling display and ultra-fast processor.
What to know before you buy a Microsoft Surface tablet
Screen size
Although they’re marketed as two-in-one devices, Microsoft Surface tablets primarily function as tablets. They’re designed to be sleek, lightweight and portable, so they don’t have the screen sizes you typically see on laptops.
The average tablet screen size is 9-13 inches, but Surface tablets are only available in 10-inch and 13-inch models. A larger screen is better for working or streaming movies and TV shows, but it’s not as lightweight or thin as a small screen.
Software
Microsoft Surface tablets all come with the Windows 11 operating system preinstalled. It allows them to function similarly to traditional PCs and is usually the preferred software for those who use their device for work or intensive school projects.
If you’re used to using a different operating system, you might find it challenging to transition to Windows 11, as there’s somewhat of a learning curve for anyone unfamiliar with it.
Battery life
Tablets are meant to be used from viable power sources, so they should last a long time in standby mode. It depends on the duration and type of usage, but a quality tablet lasts around 8 hours on a full charge. Applications vary in power consumption, so naturally, programs that require more will drain a tablet’s battery faster.
What to look for in a quality Microsoft Surface tablet
Storage
While many laptops use hard disk drives for storage, all Surface tablets use solid-state drives. Accessing files on an SSD is faster, making them ideal for tablets.
If you plan to use your tablet for simple tasks like browsing or streaming content, you can opt for a tablet with 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage. However, if you want to use your tablet for work or school, the more storage you have to work with, the better, making models with 256GB or higher more suitable.
Once your tablet’s SSD storage capacity is full, you’ll have to delete or move files if you want to store other data.
Processor
A fast central processing unit is crucial for running applications that require lots of power. You don’t need to worry about this if you plan to use your tablet for light tasks, but it’s an important consideration for anybody looking to use their device for running high-powered programs. However, be advised that the more powerful a tablet’s processor, the more expensive it is.
Random access memory
The more random access memory a device has, the more applications you can run simultaneously without noticing a performance decrease. 4GB of RAM is sufficient for simple browsing and running light applications, but high-powered computing tasks require a minimum of 8GB of RAM to run efficiently.
How much you can expect to spend on a Microsoft Surface tablet
Because of the many different specs that can be customized, the price of a Surface tablet can vary greatly. The entry-level model of the Surface Go 3 is the cheapest at $400, while the Surface Pro 8 with the most high-end specs goes for $1,999.
Microsoft Surface tablet FAQ
Can Surface tablets connect to LTE networks?
A. All models can connect to the internet through Wi-Fi, but some also have cellular/LTE network capabilities for using the internet while on the go. However, you’ll have to contact a network carrier and purchase a data plan if you wish to do so.
Is the Surface Pen accessory necessary?
A. It’s not necessary whatsoever, but it makes games and tasks such as note-taking and drawing on your tablet much more accessible.

Adding another feather to his cap, Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Dwayne Bravo on Thursday (March 31) became the all-time highest wicket-taker in the Indian Premier League history. The 38-year-old achieved the historic feat during the IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
Bravo, who was tied with Malinga at the top spot with 170 wickets, dismissed Deepak Hooda in the 18th over of Lucknow’s chase to break the former Mumbai Indians’ bowler’s record. The West Indian cricketer now has 171 wickets to his name in 153 IPL matches. On the other hand, Malinga had taken 170 wickets in 122 matches. Earlier, he picked up 3 for 20 off his 4 overs against Kolkata Knight Riders in the season opener to draw level with Malinga.
Bravo and Malinga are followed by Amit Mishra (166), Piyush Chawla (157) and Harbhajan Singh (150) in IPL’s all-time leading wicket-takers' list in top five. Notably, Bravo also leads the charts for most wickets in all T20 cricket. In 524 matches from 2006, Bravo has taken 575 wickets at an average of 24.08.

However, it was Bravo’s West Indian teammate Evin Lewis who had the final say in the match. Lewis remained unbeaten on 55 off 23 balls to guide Lucknow Super Giants to a stunning six-wicket win over CSK, chasing down 211 to win with three balls to spare.
Apart from Lewis, LSG skipper KL Rahul scored 40 off 26 balls, Quinton de Kock scored 61 off 45 balls while youngster Ayush Badoni remained unbeaten on 19 off 9 balls as well.
“It was a very good wicket, I got the chance and capitalised. I backed my skills. On the big stage I try to keep it simple and do the best for my team and myself,” Lewis said.

Do you know your zodiac sign? Would you know how to find it in the night sky? To learn more about the astronomy and mythology behind the constellations of the zodiac, UW-Milwaukee’s Manfred Olsen Planetarium recently launched a new series of zodiac-based events. This month they highlight Aries, visible just before sunset, according to planetarium director Jean Creighton.
“Honestly, Aries is a somewhat disappointing constellation. It looks like an arc and is crossed by the path of the sun,” she says.
While Aries may be associated with the planet Mars or the god of war, the Aries constellation is an Aries — specifically, according to Creighton, a golden Aries in Greek mythology.
“There are twins, Phrixos and Helle, and they are the daughter and son of a king…in mainland Greece,” she explains. The king had remarried and his wife was not so fond of his children and hoped to get rid of them in hopes of providing a new heir.
“Her biological mother, Nephele, was so worried about her children’s future that she took a magical ram and made them fly on the ram from mainland Greece to what is now the Black Sea.”
Unfortunately, Helle fell into the ocean (in what is now the Hellespont), and the brother who arrived safely offered the ram as a sacrifice to thank the gods for his safe passage. Aries is also the golden fleece Jason wanted to get from the Argonauts, she adds.
Though Aries is difficult to spot in the night sky, Creighton notes that there will be a meteor shower around dawn on June 10th.
“When a meteor shower appears to be emanating from a constellation, it’s given the constellation’s name, so it’s called the Arietids,” she notes.
To learn more about Aires, UW-Milwaukee’s Manfred Olsen Planetarium will be hosting a live interactive show, Constellations of the Zodiac: Aries, on April 1 at 7:00 p.m | https://shepherdgazette.com/explaining-the-science-and-mythology-behind-the-constellation-of-aries-wuwm-89-7-fm/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:19Z |
Ringleader of drunken teenage gang that killed Garry Newlove in brutal attack outside his home in 2007 could be moved to open jail
- Adam Swellings led a gang of youths who brutally killed Garry Newlove in 2007
- The father-of-three was set upon by the group outside his home in Warrington
- Swellings, who was 19 at the time, was sentenced to a minimum of 17 years in jail
- Now a Parole Board is deciding whether he is fit able to be moved to open prison
A man who led a gang of teenagers in the brutal murder of Garry Newlove could be moved to an open prison, according to reports.
Adam Swellings was the ringleader of a group of boys who viciously attacked the father-of-three outside his home in Warrington in 2007.
Swellings, who was 19 at the time, was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of his murder, along with Jordan Cunliffe, then 16, and Steven Sorton, then 17.
Cunliffe and Sorton have since been released on parole, while Swellings, whose minimum 17-year sentence ends in 2024, is still in prison.
Adam Swellings, pictured here when he was 19, is the last member of the gang who killed Garry Newlove to remain behind bars
Garry Newlove was beaten to death outside his home in Warrington in 2007 by a gang of youths
It has been reported that in preparation for this, he has bid to move to an open prison, where he will be under less stringent restrictions.
According to the Mirror, the killer has already had his case heard by the Parole Board on Monday, with a decision expected within days.
The Parole Board said: 'The parole review of Adam Swellings has been referred to [us] by the Secretary of State for Justice and is following standard processes with a decision expected in April.'
The attack shocked the nation, with particular attention being drawn to the fact two of his killers were drunk and underage at the time.
The Warrington resident had gone outside his home and reprimanded the three teenagers for vandalising cars on his street.
They subsequently attacked him, punching the 47-year-old repeatedly and kicking his head 'like a football'.
The brutal assault was witnessed by Mr Newlove's 12-year-old daughter Amy, while his wife Helen found him with the bloody imprint of a trainer on his head.
Jordan Cunliffe, who is now registered blind, was released from prison on parole in September 2020
Stephen Sorton had his minimum term reduced from 15 years to 13 years, and was released from prison in 2020
He died three days after the incident having never regained consciousness and left behind his wife and three children.
Mr Newlove's tragic death stunned the nation and became a symbol for 'Broken Britain'.
His widow Helen was made a peer in 2010 following her campaign work on youth crime and served as the Victim's Commissioner from 2012 to 2019.
Swellings, Sorton and Cunliffe were all found guilty of murder and given minimum terms of 17, 15 and 12 years respectively.
It was found that ringleader Swellings had only been released on bail just hours before the attack took place for a similar assault, and flouted a court order banning him from Warrington.
Two other teenage boys were acquitted of all charges.

Sorton and Cunliffe have both since been move from closed prison, with Swelling hoping to do the same.
The transfer of Cunliffe to open prison in 2020 sparked controversy when the Parole Board approved the move and he hosted a drunken party in his cell to celebrate his upcoming freedom.
This prompted the then Justice Secretary Robert Buckland to declare there was not a 'wholly acceptable rationale' for this move and Cunliffe was ordered to remain in a 'closed' prison until his next parole hearing.
He was eventually paroled in September that year, but the Secretary of State appealed the decision, something that was dismissed by the courts. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674567/Ringleader-gang-killed-Garry-Newlove-attack-outside-home-moved-open-jail.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:20Z |

Police: 13-year-old runaway girl dies at hospital after found unresponsive at motel
D’IBERVILLE, Miss. (WALA/Gray News) - A 13-year-old girl has died in a Mississippi-area hospital after being reported as a runaway from Alabama earlier this month.
WALA reports the Mobile Police Department first reported Keyanna Sylvester as a runaway on March 21. She was then found unresponsive in a motel room in D’Iberville, Mississippi, on March 24, according to D’Iberville Police Capt. Jason King.
Sylvester was taken to the hospital but later died, according to police.
The 13-year-old spent time in Ocean Springs and Moss Point, Mississippi, according to reports.
King said it was too early in the investigation to decide whether foul play was involved in the girl’s death.
“We’re making sure we’re careful about not saying whether it’s criminal or not criminal,” he said.
King also said police are waiting for a report by the medical examiner.
“This hurts me real bad because Keyanna was my baby,” said neighbor Alexie Thames. “You all need to help find whoever did this to my baby. "
Anyone with further information on this case was urged to contact the D’Iberville Police Department at 228-396-4252.

Sanjay Bumbroo
Mohali, March 31
A deadly curve on Airport Road near Sector 70 is going to be straightened. Gurdwara Mata Sunder Kaur, which is managed by Budha Dal, has agreed to relocate, paving the way for straightening of the stretch by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA).
According to information, the gurdwara management has agreed to relocate to another piece of land to be provided by GMADA, allowing the development authority to begin work to straighten out the killer stretch falling on the road separating Sectors 70 and 77, near the Sohana gurdwara light point.
The curve, which is known as a “black spot”, has seen 100 accidents since it was constructed in 2009, leading to 12 fatalities. Accidents here form a major chunk of the overall mishaps on 18-km Airport Road, according to the Mohali police.
Pertinently, a portion of land was not released by the gurdwara, forcing the government to make an “S” curve at the time of the construction of Airport Road.
A senior GMADA official said they had now received the consent of the gurdwara authority and the shrine would be relocated. He said a project report would be prepared for straightening the road in the next two weeks, following which an estimate would be prepared and tenders floated. They were hopeful of completing the project in the next three months, he said.
After former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi had directed GMADA to find a solution to the deadly curve, the authority had approved an alternative site for the gurdwara in January. Channi had also approached Baba Balbir Singh, the chief of Budha Dal that runs the gurdwara, to reach a consensus.
Several organisations, along with area councillor Sukhdev Singh Patwari, had written letters to GMADA, suggesting it to allot land to the gurdwara authorities somewhere else. Patwari had even laid out a design for straightening out the road.
In January last year, Gurjot Singh Kaler, the then SP, Traffic, Mohali, had prepared a report that crash barriers installed by GMADA had broken and illegal cuts had been created by commuters to take a U-turn, risking lives. He had inspected the spot after a woman and her teen daughter were killed as a sand-laden tipper hit their two-wheeler at this blind curve. He had further suggested some measures, including installation of mirrors, reflectors and construction of speed breakers, to make the curve safer. The police official had submitted his findings to the GMADA chief engineer. Following this, the police had installed barricades and rumble strips on the road.
In April 2019, Navdeep Asija, Punjab traffic adviser, after conducting a three-dimensional safety audit using drones, had revealed major flaws in the design of Airport Road and stated in the report that it was not pedestrian and cyclist-friendly.

For three years a dedicated group of volunteers has made it their mission to make life a little easier, and more enjoyable, for Solon’s senior citizens.
The group, Solon Senior Support, started in the fall of 2018 when Solon High School seniors Jenna Runge and Tori Jones approached Jill Weetman for their National Honor Society service project. “They made the logo, they came up with the name, and of course…they moved on (graduated),” said Weetman. Since then, Solon students have continued to make tremendous contributions to the program. “The students have been amazing, and they’re just such busy kids, but they do a great job.” Solon Senior Support, with Weetman as founder and president, officially became a non-profit organization on Feb. 14, 2019.
The volunteers provide yardwork (pulling weeds, clearing brush, shoveling snow), visits (in-person or via phone calls), transportation (medical appointments and local errands), house chores (dusting, vacuuming, cleaning), and tech assistance (smart phones, tv’s, computers/internet).
In 2019 the group hosted a picnic and project day at Meadowlark Acres Apartments and a potluck and project day at Terrace Lane/Terrace Lane Glen.
“Before the pandemic we were building up to do a bunch of fun things. We were doing Wednesday coffee at the community center (as an example,) but then the pandemic hit in full force and any group activities had to stop.” Senior Dining, which Solon Senior Support works in conjunction with Solon Senior Advocates, was among the suspended activities with Solon Senior Support delivering meals to seniors’ homes. Weetman was able to secure grants, which she used to pay for meals from local restaurants, who were also unable to do dine-in, which were then delivered by volunteers. “We were able to give people who weren’t able to get out at all something to look forward to, and it gave our restaurants a little shot in the arm too.” After the Solon Care Center was unable (due to pandemic restrictions) to provide Senior Dining’s meals, Weetman turned again to the restaurants. “About three days per week, we circulated throughout all the restaurants in town, and they would give us a great deal. Leo (Eastwood) would have chicken or pizza, or El Sol would do chicken or beef tacos, and they were huge.” In November of 2020 77 seniors received Thanksgiving dinner, and in December Christmas gift bags with meat, cheese, crackers, fruit, and a holiday floral arrangement were delivered. Also, before the pandemic, Solon students worked with seniors on “Tech Thursdays” at the community center, helping them master their smart phones, computers, and other technology. “Those kids solved every problem that the people brought in.” Weetman is working to expand opportunities for not only educating seniors on technology, but also having laptops and internet hotspots to loan out to them. “It’s not really a choice anymore (whether to go online or not), you can’t get a (Covid) booster unless you get on a computer (to find a site, sign up for an appointment, etc.).”
With the pandemic restrictions gone, Solon Senior Support has started a Wednesday morning “Coffee and Conversation” at the library. “It’s got kind-of a ‘senior-bent,’ but anybody can come.” Senior Dining has also resumed with in-house meals (with social distancing and caution strongly encouraged) on Wednesdays. “The goal is to get back to full time in-house, and deliveries. We’re going to slowly ease back into it.” The last Friday of each month will be “Meal and a Movie” day at the Solon United Methodist Church in the Fellowship Hall. “All of the senior groups went in together and bought a huge TV so we could show movies in there.”
This year the group started the “Snow Angels” program seeking volunteers to shovel seniors’ driveways and sidewalks. However, “People (potential volunteers) have jobs, and the students just don’t have the time, they’re so busy. So instead of actually doing the shoveling, let’s get the money and we’ll hire somebody.” Weetman talked to Jay Proffitt, who essentially donated his time and labor. “We only had a couple people sign up, but it’s brand new and we’ll keep doing that because so often people are out shoveling who shouldn’t be.”
Among her wish list items is a dedicated senior center, like the Johnson County Senior Center in downtown Iowa City. “I’d love to start doing more things with our seniors, getting our people down there, but their location is horrible (lack of parking). And I think there is a general feeling in Solon that we’re not really a part of all of that, even though we are, Johnson County means Johnson County. But I think people just have that general feeling of, ‘Well, that’s an Iowa City thing.”
While Solon has a number of groups and organizations, Weetman said, “I think we can do more. I think we can do a lot more. I look at other towns (like North Liberty), and we have great volunteer groups, but…aging volunteers and people not really having a lot of time to step in and step up, so I think we can do so much more. We do so much for the kids in this town, which is fantastic, that’s why you’ve got families moving to Solon, but I think we can do so much more for the seniors.”
Weetman said they’ve dreamed up their own Senior Center and what they would want in it. She added it would be nice to consolidate the many opportunities and activities in one central location with a dedicated coordinator. “Right now, we’ve got some things at the churches, and some things at the community center, and things at the library. Wouldn’t it be great if we could do it all in one place some day? I think that would be a great goal for our community. We do well, but there is always room for improvement.”
Solon Senior Support can be reached at (319) 624-2773, or by email at solonseniors@gmail.com. The group also has a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/solonseniorsupport and a website at www.solonseniorsupport.org.
“It’s been great. I really enjoy being involved with it. There’s so many good people all over in our town that are willing to donate their time and energy just to help other people.” | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/solon/a-helping-hand-and-more/article_a8388303-071c-51cb-9098-83ecadddb29f.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:23Z |

NXT had a very busy start to 2022 pursuing a number of strategic opportunities which gives me great confidence that our collective efforts will materialize into future success, both short-term and long-term. Contract opportunities substantially progressed throughout the winter in our core regions of focus in Africa, Asia and South America and we are witnessing an increased level of business development activity with our customers. NXT remains highly confident in the approach we have taken to realize near term opportunities with National Oil Companies, which have a long term strategic approach to the development of reserves.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and the entire team at NXT, I want to thank all of our shareholders for their continued support."

A brand new Call of Duty Vanguard update just went live on March 31, implementing a range of weapon nerfs and buffs, along with some key bug fixes. Here’s a look at everything included in the full patch notes.
Just one week following the Season 2 Reloaded update, one that brought with it a range of new maps, modes, and equipment, yet another CoD Vanguard update has now been deployed.
This time around, a new weapon balance pass headlines the patch as a range of Assault Rifles, LMGs, and even Melee weapons have all been put under the microscope.
A minor Perk change along with some key bug fixes top it all off, but you can check out the full rundown for the latest CoD Vanguard patch below.

CoD Vanguard March 31 update weapon changes
11 weapons in total were addressed with the March 31 CoD Vanguard update. Everything from particular attachment tweaks to overall gun adjustments were lumped into the patch.
On the positive side, guns like the Type 11 LMG, M1 Garand Marksman Rifle, and the Machine Pistol Handgun were all buffed to various degrees.

Perhaps most notably, however, the Cooper Carbine Assault Rifle had four of its attachments retuned. You may need to take another look at your loadout to ensure you have the best picks moving forward.
Beyond individual weapon changes, a single Perk was also improved in the Vanguard patch.
Engineer (Intel) should now be more effective, as highlights of enemy equipment and killstreaks have been made more visible.

On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 232-193 to pass H.R. 6833 – Affordable Insulin Now Act, which would cap the price of insulin at $35. While the bill passed with bipartisan support and may seem like a compassionate idea, in reality, it's a favor to Big Pharma, as it will lead to higher premiums, when Americans are already suffering due to record-high inflation.
As Adriel Bettelheim pointed out for Axios on Thursday, ahead of the vote, it "wouldn't address the core problem of rising prices for insulin. It would instead shift more of the cost onto health insurers and employers and result in higher premiums, according to experts."
Then there's the cost. Bettleheim also wrote that "it could wind up costing the government billions in lost revenue and swelling the deficit." The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had only just released its score on Wednesday night, estimating that the bill would increase costs by about $11 billion.
While House Republican leadership whipped against the bill, 12 Republicans, most of them considered moderate, joined all of the Democrats in voting for it.
12 House Republicans voted Yes for $35 insulin cap bill:

A recommendation of a "NO vote" sent out on Tuesday from House leadership that was made available to Townhall, framed the bill as one where "Democrats are reviving their price control agenda by mandating Part D plans and private insurers cover selected insulin products at a government-imposed price cap of the lesser of $35/month or 25 percent of the negotiated price." Similar to H.R. 3 and provisions included in the failed Build Back Better Act, this "is another attempt to expand government control over patients’ health care."
The cost has to be made up somehow.
Not only would there be increased costs due to higher premiums and higher cost-sharing on insulin products that are not price controlled, but, because the legislation fails to reform the rebate system, other drugs will be more expensive.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) introduced alternative legislation last April, H.R. 19-the Lower Costs, More Cures Act of 2021, which leadership touts as a bill that "would lower all prescription drug costs, including insulin, and cap all seniors’ out-of-pocket spending on drugs while ensuring America continues to lead the world in innovation and access to cures and treatments."
Rep. McMorris Rodgers warned from the House floor that this could lead to rising costs elsewhere. She is the ranking member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, which also released a piece against the bill, ominously titled "Socialist Price Controls for Insulin & the Dangers of What Comes Next."
The Democrats' bill does nothing to address the real reasons the cost of insulin is going up. It gives health care middlemen such as PBMs a pass to keep hiding savings from patients. pic.twitter.com/hpLuyvf0RG

There's also other concerning long-term effects, particularly about where the Democratic Party is going, which is towards socialized medicine. "This provision was included in the Democrats’ failed BBB and represents the largest expansion of federal command and control in Americans’ private health insurance design since Obamacare," House leadership also warned.
FreedomWorks, which also opposes the bill, further laid out concerns in a letter from its president, Adam Brandon, similarly warining about how the "legislation would impose socialist price controls."
As his letter further laid out in part:
While progressives are all too eager to blame high prices on “corporate greed,” the reality is that this is an issue created by the federal government. Heavy-handed price controls are a deeply flawed solution that misses the mark when identifying the problem.
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) play a significant role in the dramatic rise in the cost of prescription drugs. PBMs are third-party administrators determining which drugs go on formularies (a list of approved prescription drugs that hospitals can prescribe and are covered under an insurance policy). Ostensibly, PBMs negotiate to obtain the best price. However, these “savings” are often pocketed by PBMs themselves and aren’t passed onto patients. Since they are reimbursed based on the markdown from the original list price, PBMs are incentivized to prioritize drugs with higher list prices, so they can receive a larger markdown.
FreedomWorks, one of the many groups against the bill, will count the vote on its 2022 Congressional Scorecard, which Brandon's letter also pointed out " is used to determine eligibility for the FreedomFighter Award, which recognizes Members of the House and Senate who consistently vote to support economic freedom and individual liberty."
The House bill was introduced by Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), though it's really a pet project of Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA).
While Rep. McMorris Rodgers is among the top members who is a recipient of health and pharmaceutical companies, according to Open Secrets, the top spot is filled by a Democrat, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Sen. Warnock is the fourth most amount of money from pharmaceuticals. In the Senate, pharmaceuticals give a particularly high amount to Democrats, by a 2:1 ratio. | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2022/03/31/house-passes-bill-to-cap-insulin-prices-which-is-sure-to-help-big-pharma-with-higher-premiums-n2605351 | 2022-04-01T02:06:25Z |
The counting is over in the second union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. But it's too close to call.
There were 993 "no" votes and 875 "yes" votes, but more than 400 contested ballots remain. According to the National Labor Relations Board, there will be a hearing within a few weeks to decide if any of the challenged ballots will be opened and counted.
More than 6,100 workers were eligible to vote in the do-over election, which was ordered after the NLRB found that Amazon had improperly interfered in last year's tally.
Turnout in this year's vote was down from last year when over half of eligible voters cast ballots. But among those who actually voted this time around, there was greater support for the union. Last year, workers voted more than 2-to-1 against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a well-established national union.
"This time around we were able to educate more about unions," said Jennifer Bates, a warehouse employee, noting that organizers were able to get closer to workers now that the pandemic has eased.
The RWDSU called for every vote to be counted.
"The tenacity and courage of these workers never wavered in this unnecessarily long process," said RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum in a statement. "Workers will have to wait just a little bit longer to ensure their voices are heard."
Meanwhile in a separate Amazon union election on Staten Island in New York, the vote count will continue Friday morning. Roughly 8,000 workers were eligible to vote on whether to join the Amazon Labor Union, an upstart organization led by former and current Amazon warehouse employees. With ballots still to count, the union is in the lead, with 1,518 voting yes so far, and 1,154 voting no.

Australia floods: More rain adds to struggle of rebuilding
Communities in northern New South Wales are feeling the emotional and financial strain in the wake of February’s floods.
Lismore, Australia – In late February torrential rain hit the northern part of the Australian state of New South Wales submerging the region under raging floods.
Now – with residents still attempting to rebuild – the area’s been hit again, leaving many in despair.
“I think if they had their choice, they would just leave because a lot of them have literally just finished cleaning up their houses only to be flooded again,” Lismore chemist owner Kyle Wood told Al Jazeera.
“Everyone was still raw from the other one, and it’s not as if the town had [been] repaired… there’s still quite a few thousand condemned homes and people displaced everywhere.”
When the rain came last month, Wood thought his shop – which sits higher than the street above a small flight of stairs – would be safe.
But as the rain fell, Lismore and other towns across the Northern Rivers, the official name for the region, were inundated by water so deep that people had to climb onto their roofs.
By 3pm on February 28, the level of the Wilsons River, which runs through the heart of Lismore and is the area’s main tributary, was 14.37 metres (47 feet) – more than two metres above the previous record high in February 1954.
The water “went through and destroyed” Wood’s chemist, leaving everything but the top two levels of the dispensary a wet, stinking mess.
Some people managed to evacuate but many were stranded in their homes as the water rose.
MJ, a resident of Woodburn, a town about 34km (21 miles) south of Lismore, said that before the floodwaters swamped the town, people had moved their cars to her street because it was “one of the highest” in town.
“And then the water just kept coming, and coming, and coming,” she said.
MJ’s 89-year-old neighbour, Toby Bell, was rescued from his sister’s veranda a few doors down as the floods rose to the second storey.
He had waded across to her while he still could.
“All we could hear was cows and calves [going] down the river,” he said.
Like Bell, hundreds of people across the Northern Rivers were stranded in their homes.
In just 24 hours, the State Emergency Services (SES), a state government emergency and rescue service for natural and man-made disasters, received 927 calls for help from people in Lismore alone.
Nancy Grimm and Daniel Clark, two SES volunteers in Coraki about 24 km (15 miles) south of Lismore, say it was almost impossible to respond to everyone on that day.
“It was… three of us answering the phones and people walking in, in tears, saying “my relatives… the water [is] coming into their house”,” Grimm said, “and then coming back “did you get this person” and it was really distressing… for us to try to keep a cool head and get the information down.”
Clark and other volunteers took the SES boat out and community members on private boats joined the rescue effort.
“I feel like as a community, everyone sort of tried to do their bit,” Grimm said.
Homes uninhabitable
When the water cleared, more than 2,800 houses were deemed uninhabitable and some 1,234 people were in temporary and emergency accommodation.
“It took everything that we had… everything [except] my shirt and shorts,” Bell said.
Army officers equated the damage “on a human dimension” to that of a war zone.
“War unfortunately has a pretty dynamic effect on the people. It causes great trauma… and so do natural disasters,” said Brigadier Robert Lording, Commander Operation Flood Assist NSW, adding that people in Lismore and the wider Northern Rivers region have “lost their homes, they’ve lost all of their possessions, in many cases, they’ve lost their livelihoods as well.”
MJ, who is a bespoke toy maker, says the flood “destroyed my tools, gone, my lumber, gone.”
“It was just so overwhelming to go and see my garden… dead,” she said.
“Then my elderly neighbours who were so proud of their garden, they actually enter competitions, so that’s… what keeps them alive,” she said, “… They feel like they’ve lost a lot of that.”
But despite the loss and trauma, the region has been slowly getting back on its feet.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) and other services were brought in, and volunteers from all over Australia flocked to the area.
Mark Isaac, who operates a “community-organised resilience effort” in Wardell, a town about 30 kilometres (19 miles) southeast of Lismore, said that most of the donations his group receives are from other Australians.
“At the moment we’ve been having… cleaning supplies, all the stuff for really cleaning out the homes, gurneys and brooms and dustpans,” he said.
State and national services, like the ADF, SES and Rural Fire Service (RFS) also stepped in.
Much of the work has been about “putting people on the ground to physically help,” said Brigadier Lording.
“But we also have specialist capabilities,” he added, from engineers to the “Air Force, [which has] done a lot of work to provide mapping and provide that geospatial information that will inform future planning.”
Meanwhile, local people have also been beginning to recover. Bell, whose house now stands like a giant, bare rib cage on his land, says that he’ll “have to live” there.
“No-one will buy it,” he said.
He will stay in a caravan with his sister and her son until his house is rebuilt, and “go as far as [he] can” on the money he has, he added.
In fact, housing is a significant issue in the Northern Rivers, with thousands of people displaced by February’s floods.
General Manager for Lifeline in the Northern Rivers, Michael Were, whose team runs a distribution facility in Lismore, says that two key questions keep coming up.
“Where do people go right now that can’t go back to their houses?” he said. “… The second one, and again, it’s still housing, it’s the people whose houses are potentially able to be refitted and rebuilt. But are they structurally sound?”
Realistically, recovery could take years, he said.
“Right now, the town is working very much on adrenaline,” he said. “So “I’ve got to clean up my house, I’ve got to do these tasks,” and it’s more … when all of that starts to calm down a little bit, that’s when the true mental health toll starts to emerge.”
Financial strain
Many residents were not insured, adding to the stress of the situation.
Wood packed up his pharmacy as the first flood warnings came through. “(I) simply cannot afford to lose anything further,” he said.
Wood and others say flood insurance was not available or too expensive.
“[We had it] for house and contents,” Bell said.
“They wanted an extra 20,000 ($14,946) a year to insure for floods, and you can’t afford that on a pension. That’s more than you get!”
On the ground in Lismore now, floodwaters have reached knee height, says Wood. Some staff are in his building “hosing down the walls and getting things out”, and he is waiting for the water to subside further so that he can go back in and assess the new damage.
“We actually put [our fridges] up on top of tables and things just to get them out of the way. So hopefully they’ll be fine,” he said.
Others are still at evacuation centres, waiting until it’s safe to go back to their properties.
About 20 flood evacuation orders remained in place in the Northern Rivers and North Coast areas of NSW as of Thursday but MJ, although “completely cut off” and without supplies, was hopeful the ordeal might soon be over.
“The sun is out, and the forecast is looking good for the next eight days,” she said. | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/4/1/more-rain-in-australia-as-communities-struggle-to-rebuild | 2022-04-01T02:06:25Z |
The Ukrainian government said Russian forces blocked 45 buses that had been sent to evacuate civilians from the besieged port city of Mariupol, and only 631 people were able to get out of the city in private cars.
Twelve Ukrainian trucks were able to deliver humanitarian supplies to Mariupol, but the supplies were seized by Russian troops, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said late Thursday.
According to Ukrainian officials, tens of thousands of people have made it out of Mariupol in recent weeks along humanitarian corridors, reducing the prewar population of 430,000 to about 100,000 by last week.
Vereshchuk said about 45,000 Mariupol residents have been forcefully deported to Russia and areas of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russian-backed separatists.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
LVIV, Ukraine — The last Russian troops left the Chernobyl nuclear plant early Friday, according to the Ukrainian government agency responsible for the exclusion zone around the plant.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russian troops who dug trenches in the forest were exposed to radiation, but that could not be confirmed.
The Ukrainian nuclear operator company Energoatom said Thursday that Russian troops were headed toward Ukraine’s border with Belarus.
Energoatom said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after Russian troops withdrew from the north and center of the country, the situation has been heating up in the southeast where Russian forces are building up for new powerful attacks.
In his nighttime video address to the nation Thursday, Zelenskyy said it was heartening for all Ukrainians to see Russian troops retreating from north of Kyiv, from around the northern town of Chernihiv and from Sumy in the northeast. By he urged Ukrainians not to let up, saying the withdrawal was just a Russian tactic.
Zelenskyy said he spoke Thursday with European Council President Charles Michel and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while his adviser spoke with U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
“We need more support from our partners right now when Russian troops are concentrating additional forces in certain areas,” Zelenskyy said.
WASHINGTON — The top-ranking Ukrainian Catholic cleric in the United States warned Thursday that religious minorities in the Eastern European country stand to be “crushed” if Moscow gains control, as fighting raged on more than a month after the Russian invasion began.
Archbishop Borys Gudziak said groups at risk include Catholics, Muslims and Orthodox who have broken away from the patriarch of Moscow.
Gudziak also cited reports that Russian forces have damaged two Holocaust memorials and Moscow’s false portrayal of Ukraine as a “Nazi” state although Ukraine overwhelmingly elected a Jewish president in Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“What is at stake for the people of faith is their freedom to practice their faith,” Gudziak said during an online panel discussion on the war, hosted by the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University.
Gudziak is head of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and president of Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. He also oversees external relations for the Kyiv-based Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says an initial half-dozen shipments of weapons and other security assistance have reached Ukraine as part of the $800 million package of aid that President Joe Biden approved on March 16.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that the shipments included Javelin anti-tank weapons, Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, body armor, medical supplies and other material. He said the 100 Switchblade armed drones that Biden approved as part of the package have not yet been delivered.
Kirby said the $800 million in assistance is likely to be fully delivered within about two weeks. It also includes Mi-17 helicopters, small arms, ammunition, vehicles, secure communications systems, and satellite imagery and analysis capability.
Separately, Kirby said U.S. troops are not training Ukrainian troops in Poland but are acting as liaisons with Ukrainian personnel who cross the border into Poland to take possession of U.S. security assistance. He noted that the standard U.S. military training mission that had existed in Ukraine for years was suspended shortly before Russia invaded.
DOHA, Qatar — A video showing the head of Ukrainian soccer wearing an armored vest on the streets of Kyiv brought the impact of Russia’s war into the FIFA Congress.
Andriy Pavelko used a recorded message to the gathering in Qatar on Thursday to talk about the deaths of footballers even as the sport “has taken a back seat in our country.”
The gathering in Doha featured delegates from Russia, including Alexey Sorokin, the chief executive of Russia’s 2018 World Cup organizing committee.
Russia won’t be in the draw for the World Cup on Friday after being disqualified from playing internationally by FIFA over the war. Ukraine can still qualify but its playoff semifinal against Scotland has been postponed until June with the hope the team will be in a position to return to the field by then.
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s ombudsperson says that at least one person has been killed and four others have been wounded in the Russian shelling of a humanitarian convoy.
Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Lyudmyla Denisova said those who came under the shelling on Thursday were volunteers accompanying a convoy of buses sent to the northern city of Chernihiv to evacuate residents.
She said that the Russian forces besieging Chernihiv have made it impossible to evacuate civilians from the city that has been cut from food, water and other supplies.
The Russian shelling continued two days after Moscow announced it would scale back military operations around Kyiv and Chernihiv.
BERLIN — The International Atomic Energy Agency says it has been informed by Ukraine that the Russian forces which were in control of the Chernobyl nuclear plant have “in writing, transferred control” of the facility to Ukrainian personnel.
Ukraine said three convoys of Russian forces have already left the site toward Belarus, while the remaining troops were presumed to be preparing to leave, the agency said Thursday.
The IAEA added that it was in close consultations with Ukrainian authorities on sending a first assistance and support mission to Chernobyl in the next few days.
The agency said it has not been able to confirm reports of Russian forces receiving high doses of radiation while being inside the exclusion zone of the now-closed plant, but is seeking further information in order to provide an independent assessment of the situation.
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed his offer to host a meeting between the Ukrainian and Russian leaders during a telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
A statement from Erdogan’s office said the Turkish president also told Zelenskyy Thursday that a meeting between Ukrainian and Russian negotiators who met in Istanbul earlier this week had given “a meaningful impetus” to efforts to end the fighting.
Earlier this week, Ukraine’s delegation laid out a framework under which the country would declare itself neutral and its security would be guaranteed by an array of nations, including Turkey.
Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a joint news conference with a top Turkish Cypriot official that Erdogan also is expected to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday said there’s “no clear evidence” that Vladimir Putin is scaling back military operations around Kyiv and suggested that the Russian president may have ordered some of his advisers fired or placed under house arrest.
Biden told reporters that “there’s some indication” that Putin has taken those steps against some of his advisers. He added, “But I don’t want to put too much stock in that at this time because we don’t have that much hard evidence.”
The White House on Wednesday released unclassified intelligence findings that Putin is being misinformed by his advisors about how badly the Russian military is performing.
The president made the comments after formally announcing that the U.S. would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve in hopes of easing surging gasoline prices.
Biden also reiterated that his administration remains skeptical that Russia will scale back operations around Kyiv as Moscow announced earlier this week.
Russian forces continued to shell Kyiv suburbs Thursday, two days after the Kremlin announced it would significantly scale back operations near both the capital and the northern city of Chernihiv.
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine says the United Nations and its partners have delivered supplies for thousands of people in the country’s northeast but have been unable to reach some encircled cities in the south.
Osnat Lubrani said Thursday that food rations from the humanitarian organization People in Need and the U.N. World Food Program will benefit nearly 6,000 people in Sumy and areas including Trostianets and Okhtyrka.
In addition, she said, basic household items including blankets and kettles from the U.N. refugee agency will support 1,500 people and sanitation kits will help 6,000 people with hygiene and drinking water.
Lubrani said medical supplies and trauma kits from the U.N. World Health Organization will treat 150 patients needing intensive care for serious injuries while other medical supplies will support 10,000 people for three months.
Shei said the U.N.-facilitated humanitarian notification system with Ukraine and Russia enabled safe passage for the convoy to Sumy on Thursday “but this is clearly not enough.” Efforts over the past month to reach Mauripol, Kherson and other encircled cities in the south have been unsuccessful because of safety concerns.
BERLIN — The U.N. nuclear watchdog says its director-general has arrived in Russia’s Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad for talks with senior Russian officials.
The International Atomic Energy Agency didn’t specify in a tweet whom exactly Rafael Mariano Grossi will meet on Friday or give further details of his agenda.
He arrived in Kaliningrad Thursday following a visit to Ukraine, where he visited a nuclear power plant and conferred with the energy minister and other officials on efforts to ensure the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants.
Ukraine has 15 active nuclear reactors at four plants -- one of which, at Zaporizhzhia, is under the Russian military’s control.
GENEVA — A team with the International Committee of the Red Cross has arrived in a Ukraine-held city where staff are preparing to take civilians out of the beleaguered port city of Mariupol.
Julien Lerisson, deputy director of operations for the ICRC, said Thursday that the team assembling in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, has medicines, food, water, hygiene items and other essentials.
He said the organization has high-level agreement for the mission but is focused on making sure “the order trickles down the chain of command,” allowing the team to enter and leave Mariupol safely.
The Russian military has said it committed to a cease-fire along the route from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian authorities have said 45 buses would be sent to collect citizens and provide resources to those who remain.
Lucile Marbeau, a staff member with the ICRC team hoping to enter Mariupol, said on Thursday: “We’re here because really, we hope to be able to facilitate safe passage for civilians desperately wanting to flee Mariupol.”
LONDON — Britain’s defense minister says Ukraine’s international allies have agreed to send more military equipment, including artillery ammunition and armored vehicles.
U.K. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace held a conference call Thursday with defense ministers from more than 35 countries, including the United States, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.
Wallace said that as a result “there will be more lethal aid going into Ukraine.” He said that would include “more long-range artillery, ammunition predominantly,” to help counter Russia’s bombardment of Ukraine’s cities.
Wallace said Ukraine was “also looking for armoured vehicles of some types, not tanks necessarily, but certainly protective vehicles.”
He said allies were also “looking to see what more we can do” to help Ukraine defend its coastline.
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has sanctioned an employee of a state-affiliated Russian defense firm that developed malicious software that was used to target the energy sector.
The Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned Evgeny Viktorovich Gladkikh. He was one of four Russians charged in Justice Department indictments unsealed last week that alleged the hacking by Russia of critical infrastructure around the globe, including in the U.S. energy and aviation sectors.
Among the thousands of computers targeted in some 135 countries were of a Saudi petro-chemical plant where the hackers overrode safety controls.
That hack is singled out in a Treasury Department release announcing sanctions against Gladikh and several other employees of the research firm. In total, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced that it was designating 21 entities and 13 individuals, including in the aerospace, marine and electronics sectors.
LVIV, Ukraine — Russian troops were leaving the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and heading towards Ukraine’s border with Belarus, the Ukrainian nuclear operator company said Thursday.
The operator, Energoatom, said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.
Energoatom also said reports were confirmed that the Russians dug trenches in the Red Forest, the 10-square-kilometer (nearly four-square-mile) area surrounding the Chernobyl plant within the Exclusion Zone, and received “significant doses of radiation.”
The Russian troops “panicked at the first sign of illness,” which “showed up very quickly,” and began to prepare to leave, the operator said. The claim couldn’t be independently verified.
Energoatom said the Russians have signed a document confirming the handover of the Chernobyl plant and stating that the plant’s administration doesn’t have any complaints about the Russian troops who were “guarding” the facility.
LONDON — The head of Britain’s military says Russian President Vladimir Putin has “already lost” in Ukraine and is weaker than he was before the invasion.
Adm. Tony Radakin at a think-tank seminar Thursday in London said Moscow’s aim to “take the whole of Ukraine” fell apart. He added that the coming weeks “will continue to be very difficult” for Ukraine.
“But in many ways, Putin has already lost,” he said. “Far from being the far-sighted manipulator of events that he would have us believe, Putin has damaged himself through a series of catastrophic misjudgements.”
Radakin also said there was “disquiet” at all levels of Russia’s military about the campaign, from troops who were not told they were invading Ukraine up to senior commanders.
Western officials say Putin’s small inner circle is not giving him the true picture of the war, and his isolation may have contributed to miscalculating the strength of resistance Russian troops would meet.
BERLIN — The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe expressed regret Thursday at Russia’s decision to veto the extension of its observer mission in Ukraine.
The OSCE’s special monitoring mission has been present in Ukraine since 2014, when fighting between Ukrainians and Russia-backed separatists broke out in the country’s eastern regions after Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau, who holds the OSCE rotating chair, said the observers had played a “crucial role by providing objective information on the security and humanitarian situation on the ground and relentlessly working to ease the effects of the conflict on the civilian population” in Ukraine for the past eight year.
The Vienna-based body’s secretary general, Helga Maria Schmid, expressed gratitude to the mission’s members, several of whom were wounded or killed over the years.
BERLIN — Germany’s economy minister says Europe should impose additional sanctions on Russia to prevent what he described as a “barbaric” war in Ukraine.
Robert Habeck said he discussed what further measures could be taken with his French counterpart during a bilateral meeting in Berlin on Thursday.
“The last package (of sanctions) doesn’t need to be the final one, it should not be the final one,” he told reporters, adding that he and French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire had “identified additional points that could be included in a (sanctions) package.”
Habeck declined to elaborate on what those points might be.
Speaking ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement on new rules requiring countries to pay for Russia’s natural gas sales in rubles, Habeck insisted that contracts would be adhered to. These stipulate payment in euros or dollars.
BERLIN — The Austrian and German leaders have underlined their rejection of a halt to Russian energy deliveries at this point.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer noted that several central and eastern European countries depend to one extent or another on Russian gas deliveries.
He and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz argued that existing sanctions already are having a significant effect and said they need time to switch to new providers and renewable energy sources.
Nehammer said that “sanctions only make sense … when they hit those they are supposed to hit, and don’t weaken those who carry out sanctions.”
ROME — A Kremlin decree says “unfriendly countries” can continue to pay for natural gas in foreign currency through a Russian bank that will convert the money into rubles.
The decree published Thursday by state media came a day after the leaders of Italy and Germany said they received assurances from President Vladimir Putin.
Putin talked tougher, saying Russia will start accepting ruble payments starting Friday for Western countries that imposed sanctions over its conflict with Ukraine. He said contracts will be stopped if buyers don’t sign up to the new conditions, including opening ruble accounts in Russian banks.
European leaders had rejected paying for deliveries in rubles, saying it would undermine sanctions imposed because of the war in Ukraine.
The decree Putin signed and published by state news agency RIA Novosti says a designated bank will open two accounts for each buyer, one in foreign currency and one in rubles. The buyers will pay in foreign currency and authorize the bank to sell that currency for rubles, which are placed in the second account, where the gas is formally purchased.
ROME — Italy’s leader is urging Europe to “cultivate all available land” as a partial remedy to reductions in agricultural imports, especially of Russian grain, due to the war in Ukraine.
Premier Mario Draghi told reporters on Thursday that under existing agricultural practices in the European Union 10% of land is purposely left fallow, but that must now change as European countries search for ways to reduce dependency on farm imports.
It’s not clear whether Ukraine, one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, maize and sunflower oil, might be able to salvage any of this planting season.
Meanwhile, Draghi noted that Western Europe will be looking to food producers like Canada, the United States and Argentina to help make up the shortfall of imports from Ukraine and Russia.
STOCKHOLM — The deputy director of Sweden’s Military Intelligence and Security agency says Russia has made “a strategic miscalculation when invading Ukraine.”
Daniel Olsson said the invasion of Ukraine “has shown that the Russian leadership is ready to take great risks, larger than previously taken.”
The government agency’s analysis suggested a likely “a western containment of Russia,” including reducing trade in Russian energy.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Several mothers within the Sacramento City Unified School District are now sitting down to take a stand as the ongoing teacher strike has no end in sight.
They spent the night at district headquarters as negotiations stalled for the seventh day.

Wednesday night Superintendent Jorge Aguilar met with the teachers union. They discussed a 3% salary increase and an agreement to pay 100% of health care premiums for the upcoming school year — but no deal was reached.
“Everything that’s being requested in the bargaining from our unions, the community has been asking for,” Ybarra said. “So it should be a no-brainer. This is what the community wants. Listen to us.”

The goal: increase wages, improve benefits and improve safety protocols to help fill hundreds of vacancies that have left a quarter of the 40,000 students without a regular teacher.
“If our teachers and our support staff have a livable wage [and] have equity in their labor contract, then that is going to reflect back in the classroom,” Ybarra said.
With nearly 80 schools closed and kids out of class, community groups are scrambling to provide child care. Fremont Presbyterian Church set up their gym for a day camp knowing the need was great.
As the picketing continues, these mothers persevere. They will stay put to apply pressure.

5 fetuses found inside DC home of anti-abortion activist
WASHINGTON (AP) — Police found five fetuses in the home of a self-proclaimed “anti-abortion activist” who was indicted this week on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of people who blocked access to a Washington, D.C. reproductive health center.
The Metropolitan Police Department says officers were responding to a tip about “potential bio-hazard material” at a home in Southeast Washington on Wednesday when they located the five fetuses inside.
A local television station, WUSA9, captured video of police searching the home and reported that the home belonged to Lauren Handy. The 28-year-old was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public on Wednesday that accused the group of traveling to Washington, blocking access to the reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook.
The station, which first reported the discovery, said Handy told a reporter that “people will freak out when they hear” what detectives found inside her house. Handy did not respond to a message sent to her Facebook profile seeking comment.
Police said the five fetuses were collected by Washington’s medical examiner and the investigation is ongoing.
In the indictment, prosecutors said Handy had called the clinic pretending to be a prospective patient and scheduling an appointment. Once there, on Oct. 22, 2020, eight of the suspects pushed their way inside and began blocking the doors, according to the indictment. Five of them chained themselves together on chairs to block the treatment area as others blocked the employee entrance to stop other patients from coming inside, the indictment alleges. Another suspect blocked people from coming into the waiting room, prosecutors charge.
Handy and the eight others were charged with conspiracy against rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The federal law, more commonly known as the FACE Act, prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services.

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

Colombo: Sri Lanka is going through its worst economic crisis in decades and on Thursday (March 31), protests against the government's handling of the situation turned violent, with the Police imposing an overnight curfew in the capital Colombo.
At least 10 people were injured including journalists after protests held outside the residence of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa turned violent. Protesters, some clad in motorcycle helmets, dismantled a wall and hurled bricks at police, before setting a bus alight on a road leading to Gotabaya's residence, a Reuters witness said. A bus attached to the Sri Lanka Army and a jeep were set on fire by protesters.
The island of 22 million people is experiencing rolling blackouts for up to 13 hours a day because the government does not have enough foreign exchange for fuel imports. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) will initiate discussions with Sri Lankan authorities on a possible loan programme in the coming days, a spokesman said on Thursday, as the government looks for a way out of the crisis.
The government is turning off street lights to save electricity, Power Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi told reporters, as a continuing shortage of diesel brought more power cuts and halted trading on the main stock market. The power cuts add to the pain of Sri Lankans already dealing with shortages of essentials and rocketing prices.
The Public Utilities Commission of the island nation has announced that Sri Lanka will be witnessing 12-hour power cuts in several areas on Friday due to the lack of sufficient fuel to generate thermal power and water to generate hydropower. Sri Lanka has been already witnessing at least 10-hour daily power cuts. The country's currency has been also devalued by almost SLR 90 against the US dollar since March 8.
Retail inflation hit 18.7% in March over the same period a year ago, the statistics department said on Thursday. Food inflation reached 30.2% in March, partly driven by a currency devaluation and last year`s ban on chemical fertilisers that was later reversed. Inflation was at its worst level in a over a decade, said Dimantha Mathew of First Capital Research. A diesel shipment under a $500 million credit line from India was expected on Saturday, Power Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi said, though she added that would not fix the issue. Once that arrives we will be able to reduce load-shedding hours but until we receive rains, probably some time in May, power cuts will have to continue," she was quoted by Reuters, "There's nothing else we can do."

Is the Russian Consulate in Montreal located on “Avenue Zelensky” as of March 31, 2022? No, that’s not true: A spokesperson for the city of Montreal tells We’ve, “This is misinformation.” The sign in the image of this post was fake; it was featured in a satirical show based in Quebec on March 10, 2022.
The claim appeared in a Facebook post (archived here) on March 13, 2022. The post includes an image of what looks like a sign that reads, “Avenue Zelensky,” attached to a fence below a building with a Russian flag on top of it. The caption opens:
The Russian consulate in Montreal is now on Avenue Zelensky.
This is what the Facebook post looked like on March 31, 2022:
(Source: Facebook screenshot taken on Thurs Mar 31 16:55:21 2022 UTC)
In a March 31, 2022, email to We’ve, Fabienne Papin, a spokesperson of the city of Montreal, said they strongly condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine in violation of international law and declared its solidarity with the Ukrainian community of Montreal:
That said, it should be noted that the City has not changed the name of Avenue du Musée, either in whole or in part, which leads to the Consulate General of Russia in Montreal. This is misinformation.
A TinEye reverse image search reveals that the image in this post originated from this March 10, 2022, tweet, which, translated from French to English, reads, “A beautiful moment captured.”

Which protein shake is best: Premier or Fairlife?
A protein shake after an exhausting workout can be highly beneficial. Protein is the most critical macronutrient required for efficient muscle recovery, so getting enough of it is crucial if you exercise or lift weights often.
If you’re trying to decide which protein shake is right for you, Premier and Fairlife are two popular brands you should consider. Both supplements contain significant amounts of protein and other vitamins and nutrients, but the right one for you depends on your body and fitness goals.
Premier protein shake
Premier protein shakes are a great way to supplement your post-workout diet and boost the muscle recovery process, letting you get more out of your workouts and potentially see results faster.
Premier incorporates plenty of protein and other vital nutrients and vitamins in their products, making them an excellent snack or post-workout recovery supplement.
Premier protein shake pros
One serving of a Premier protein shake contains 160 calories and 30 grams of protein, which is more than even most whey isolate protein powders, which usually have 20-28 grams per serving. There are also many essential amino acids, including 6.6 grams of branched-chain amino acids, which are vital for significant muscle recovery and growth.
They have just 1 gram of sugar per serving and are available in 12 low-fat flavors. From chocolate to vanilla to coffee, every flavor is gluten-free, soy-free and appropriate for keto, bariatric and kosher diets. It’s also worth noting that the coffee flavor contains caffeine and that a handful of flavors can substitute for coffee cream.
Premier protein shakes come in ready-made bottle-size servings as well as in a protein powder for mixing at your leisure. It’s up to your preference, but it’s important to note that the premixed drinks contain more sugar per serving than the powder.
Premier protein shake cons
Although Premier shakes contain 24 vitamins and minerals, they don’t have enough nutrients to serve as viable meal replacements. They’re suitable as snacks in between meals and as post-workout supplements only.
Premier shakes also contain a high amount of protein, which can be unnecessary and even harmful if you’re already getting enough of it from your regular diet in the form of healthy whole foods. Also, they contain artificial sweeteners, and if you’re lactose-intolerant, you’re going to want to steer clear of Premier protein shakes.
Fairlife protein shake
Fairlife protein shakes are an excellent workout supplement for those looking to boost muscle recovery following rigorous exercise. They’re light, so you won’t feel too full after drinking one, making them an acceptable snack as well.
Fairlife protein shake pros
The original Fairlife Nutrition Plan shakes have the same protein as Premier shakes at 30 grams per serving. It contains just 150 calories per serving, so it’s 10 fewer than the ready-made Premier protein shakes. In terms of nutrients, it has nine essential amino acids and several vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, calcium and potassium.
These shakes have plenty of protein, and their low-carb formula makes them an excellent supplement for those seeking to lose weight while maintaining a solid muscle frame. They’re made with ultra-filtered milk, giving them a smooth, creamy texture that’s delicious.
Also, unlike Premier protein shakes, Fairlife shakes are suitable for anybody who’s lactose-intolerant.
Fairlife protein shake cons
They only come in seven flavors, but some users argue that it doesn’t taste as good as other comparable shakes. They’re also pricey, so you might get more bang for your buck with Premier shakes. Also, there isn’t as much diversity in terms of products as with Premier protein products.
Should you get Premier or Fairlife protein shakes?
Both Premier and Fairlife protein shakes work well as workout supplements since they both have plenty of protein and amino acids necessary for muscle recovery. They both also have vitamins and minerals that make them suitable as meal supplements or daytime snacks.
Fairlife shakes are easier on the stomach since they’re lactose-free, so while Premier shakes are also light, Fairlife is arguably the better choice for those following strict diets. However, Premier shakes are available in more unique flavors, so you can try different ones until you find one you like.
Ultimately, both shakes will give you a protein boost sufficient enough to aid in the muscle recovery process, especially if you exercise or lift weights consistently. Although Fairlife shakes have more calories and protein per serving, making them slightly better for those with muscle-building goals, Premier shakes are low in fat, so they’re excellent for anyone looking to lose weight.

Princess Diana's favourite photographer Patrick Demarchelier, who shot famous tiara image, dies aged 78
- Princess Diana contacted him in 1989 after she seeing images on Vogue's cover
- He photographed her in black and white wearing a strapless dress and tiara
- Mr Demarchelier was accused of sexually assaults, which he denied
Patrick Demarchelier, the photographer who took some of the most captivating and memorable portraits of Princess Diana, has died aged 78.
The Frenchman was contacted by the Princess of Wales in 1989 after she saw one of his images on the cover of Vogue.
Their first shoot the following year produced the famous black and white photograph of Diana wearing a strapless dress and tiara.
Afterwards the princess took the unusual step of asking Mr Demarchelier to become her personal portraitist – the first non-British official photographer of the Royal Family.
French photographer Patrick Demarchelier, who died aged 78, is seen at the Petit Palais in Paris in 2008
Demarchelier's and Princess Diana's first shoot the following year produced the famous black and white photograph of Diana wearing a strapless dress and tiara. (Pictured: A woman takes a picture of a photograph of Diana, Princess of Wales by Patrick Demarchelier 1990 during a press view of Vogue 100)
Demarchelier took iconic photographs of Diana that graced the front of numerous magazines
He once said of their relationship: ‘We became friends. She was funny and kind – but fundamentally she was a very simple woman who liked very simple things.’
The death of Mr Demarchelier, who lived in New York with his ex-model wife Mia, was confirmed on his Instagram account last night.
He is survived by three sons – Gustaf, Arthur and Victor – and three grandchildren.

In a stellar career, Mr Demarchelier captured photos of celebrities including Madonna, Kate Moss and Beyonce.
He appeared in films such as 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada and his work often graced the pages of Vogue.
In 2018, Mr Demarchelier was accused of sexually assaulting models and an assistant, which he denied.
Magazine firm Conde Nast, which owns Vogue, suspended work with the photographer. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674587/Princess-Dianas-favourite-photographer-Patrick-Demarchelier-dies-aged-78.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:27Z |

5 fetuses found inside DC home of anti-abortion activist
WASHINGTON (AP) — Police found five fetuses in the home of a self-proclaimed “anti-abortion activist” who was indicted this week on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of people who blocked access to a Washington, D.C. reproductive health center.
The Metropolitan Police Department says officers were responding to a tip about “potential bio-hazard material” at a home in Southeast Washington on Wednesday when they located the five fetuses inside.
A local television station, WUSA9, captured video of police searching the home and reported that the home belonged to Lauren Handy. The 28-year-old was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public on Wednesday that accused the group of traveling to Washington, blocking access to the reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook.
The station, which first reported the discovery, said Handy told a reporter that “people will freak out when they hear” what detectives found inside her house. Handy did not respond to a message sent to her Facebook profile seeking comment.
Police said the five fetuses were collected by Washington’s medical examiner and the investigation is ongoing.
In the indictment, prosecutors said Handy had called the clinic pretending to be a prospective patient and scheduling an appointment. Once there, on Oct. 22, 2020, eight of the suspects pushed their way inside and began blocking the doors, according to the indictment. Five of them chained themselves together on chairs to block the treatment area as others blocked the employee entrance to stop other patients from coming inside, the indictment alleges. Another suspect blocked people from coming into the waiting room, prosecutors charge.
Handy and the eight others were charged with conspiracy against rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The federal law, more commonly known as the FACE Act, prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services.

The Elba Tigers scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to send the game into extra innings and then pushed across the winning run on a walk-off bases loaded infield hit by Collin Arnold in the bottom of the tenth to surprise the New Brockton Gamecocks 15-14, last Monday night in Elba.
New Brockton combined six hits, including doubles by Kaden Cupp and Jackson Lawson, with two errors to jump out to an early 7-0 lead in the top of the first inning. However, Elba showed it had come to play as the Tigers plated two runs in the bottom of the frame on a two-run single by Paxton Wise to cut the deficit to 7-2.
The Tigers continued their comeback in the second and scored five runs to pull even at 7-7. Two walks and an infield hit by Carson Wise loaded the bases with no outs in the early explosion, while Ty Sieving had an rbi single and the Tigers took advantage of a wild pitch and three New Brockton errors to pull even on the scoreboard.
The Gamecocks used an rbi single by Jackson Lawson, a two-run double by Kaden Cupp and an rbi double by Drew Cashin to regain the lead at 12-7 in the top of the third, but the Tigers again rallied and pulled within 12-8 in the bottom of the inning thanks to a walk and another error.
New Brockton pushed across two unearned runs in the fourth inning to stretch it lead to 14-8, but it proved to be the final runs the Gamecocks could muster, and the Tigers plated a lone run in the bottom of the fourth on an rbi single by Collin Arnold as the Gamecocks lead stood at 14-9 after four exciting innings.
The Tigers added two runs in the sixth on walk, a hit batter and a two-out, two-run single by Carson Wise to pull within 14-11, then sent the game into extra innings.
Elba out its first two batters on base in the bottom of the seventh on a walk and a hit batter, while Brayden Johnson delivered a clutch two-out rbi single, and two more runs scored on Gamecock errors as the Tigers pulled even at 14-14.
Neither team scored in the next two innings, but in the bottom of the tenth Ty Sieving drew a leadoff walk and went to third on a single by Whit Shehee. An intentional walk to Paxton Wise loaded the bases, and set the stage for Collin Arnold to knock in the winning run on an infield hit as the Tigers celebrated the wild 15-14 win.
Whit Shehee had 3 hits and scored 3 runs to lead Elba at the plate, while Carson Wise added 2 hits, scored 1 run and had 2 rbi’s; Collin Arnold added 2 hits, scored 3 runs and had 1 rbi; Ty Sieving had 1 hit, scored 4 runs and had 1 rbi; and, Paxton Wise and Brayden Johnson both added 1 hit, scored 2 runs and had 2 rbi’s. Ty Sieving was the winning pitcher, in relief, as he tossed six scoreless innings and allowed no hits, with two strikeouts.
Kaden Cupp had 4 hits, scored 3 runs and had 4 rbi’s to lead the Gamecocks, while Jackson Lawson added 2 hits, scored 2 runs and had 3 rbi’s; Drew Cashin added 2 hits, scored 2 runs and had 2 rbi’s; and, Payton Green added 2 hits, scored 1 run and had 2 rbi’s. Five New Brockton pitcher combined to allowed 11 earned runs on 12 hits and 13 walks, while recording 15 strikeouts. | https://www.elba-clipper.com/sports/elba-tigers-bite-brockton-15-14-in-extra-innings/article_5225c452-b07d-11ec-b6da-271b3975ac4a.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:29Z |
This week, Solon Public Library encourages all community members to visit their library, in person or online, to explore and access services and programs. The Library offers a wide array of programs, classes and resources that are available in person or from the comfort of home, including Kanopy, Libby, Brainfuse, AtoZ Travel and Transparent Language.
April 3-9, 2022 is National Library Week, a time to highlight the essential role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. The theme for this year’s National Library Week is “Connect with Your Library,” which promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected to technology by using broadband, computers and other resources. Libraries also offer opportunities to connect with media, programs, ideas and classes, in addition to books. Most importantly, libraries also connect communities to each other.
Libraries of all types continue to go above and beyond to keep their communities connected by expanding resources and embracing inclusion in their programming, resources and collections. Libraries across the country are making a difference in people’s lives by providing electronic learning resources like online homework help and wi-fi access for students and workers who may lack internet access at home. Solon Public Library is supporting the community with services such as DIY Night, Storytime, Virtual Trivia Night, Game Night, and BAM POW.
This National Library Week, the public can show their appreciation and support for libraries by visiting their library in person or online, following them on social media and using the hashtag #NationalLibraryWeek.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April. | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/solon/connect-with-your-library-during-national-library-week/article_9f8a93d1-5813-5954-8b36-37d945305b6a.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:29Z |

Prof. Cathy J. Cohen, a leading political scientist and scholar of race, gender and sexuality, will deliver the 2022 Nora and Edward Ryerson Lecture on May 3 at the Rubenstein Forum.
A UChicago tradition since 1972, the Ryerson Lecture is an opportunity for an eminent faculty member to deliver a talk to the University community that celebrates the speaker’s scholarship and its enduring value. The University community is invited to attend the 5 p.m. event in the Rubenstein Forum’s Friedman Hall, as well as a public reception that will follow. The lecture also will be webcast on UChicago digital channels.
The David and Mary Winton Green Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science, Cohen is a renowned political scientist, advocate and the principal investigator on two major projects: the Black Youth Project and the GenForward Survey. Her work recognizes that some of the most pressing issues facing the country—including public education, gun violence, mass incarceration and immigration—disproportionately affect Black and Latinx youth.
At UChicago, she has previously served as chair of the Department of Political Science; director of the Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture; and the inaugural deputy provost for Graduate Education.
Throughout her career, Cohen has produced groundbreaking scholarship at the intersection of race, class, politics and sexuality. She has sought to understand the challenges faced by young people and their social and political perspectives as a means of understanding the broader political situation in the United States.
Her Ryerson Lecture—titled “Democratic Futures?: Race, Resistance and Political Vulnerability”—will examine what political insights and possibilities might emerge when we center the ideas of race and vulnerability.
“I am interested in how a vulnerability that is perceived and/or lived has the ability to tie us to others collectively,” Cohen said. “I hope to investigate how such a vulnerability demands of us a shared accountability, and—under the best conditions—necessitates that we imagine new ways of being and new possibilities for political solidarity.”
Cohen is the author of the books The Boundaries of Blackness: AIDS and the Breakdown of Black Politics and Democracy Remixed: Black Youth and the Future of American Politics. She also co-edited the anthology Women Transforming Politics: An Alternative Reader with Kathleen Jones and Joan Tronto.
The recipient of numerous honors and grants, Cohen was recently awarded the 2021 Hanes Walton Jr. Career Award, presented by the American Political Science Association in recognition of distinguished scholarship that has made significant contributions to the understanding of racial and ethnic politics. The Marguerite Casey Foundation also selected Cohen as part of the 2021 class of Freedom Scholars. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The Ryerson Lectures originated through a bequest from Nora and Edward Ryerson. Edward Ryerson was a former chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees. Other recent lecturers have included paleontologist Neil Shubin, Nobel-winning economist Richard Thaler, psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow, linguist and anthropologist Michael Silverstein, physicist Sidney Nagel and legal scholar Geoffrey Stone. | https://news.uchicago.edu/story/prof-cathy-cohen-deliver-2022-ryerson-lecture-race-and-vulnerability | 2022-04-01T02:06:30Z |

March 31 marked the "Transgender Day of Visibility," which the Biden administration celebrated rather enthusiastically. For the White House, and others, there seemed to be a particular focus on "trans kids" and "trans youth," which includes minors who are not legally enough to consent to what the processes of being transgender really entails, such as genital mutilation.
When it comes to the virtue-signaling of tweets and statements, Democrats went all out.
The White House released a fact sheet touting the "Biden-Harris Administration Advances Equality and Visibility for Transgender Americans" on Thursday, and a lengthy proclamation from President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
The fact sheet referenced many of the same points Madeline and Katie's reporting did in their coverage of the day, which is that the TSA is "Implementing enhanced screening technology," and also resources for "youth seek gender-affirming care."
Both the fact sheet and the statement mention "kids" and "students" a considerable amount of time.
Here are just some excerpts from the fact sheet:
...Today, the Administration once again condemns the proliferation of dangerous anti-transgender legislative attacks that have been introduced and passed in state legislatures around the country. The evidence is clear that these types of bills stigmatize and worsen the well-being and mental health of transgender kids, and they put loving and supportive families across the country at risk of discrimination and harassment. As the President has said, these bills are government overreach at its worst, they are un-American, and they must stop.
...
Reinforcing federal protections for transgender kids. The Justice Department announced today that it has issued a letter to all state attorneys general reminding them of federal constitutional and statutory provisions that protect transgender youth against discrimination, including when those youth seek gender-affirming care.
...
Providing resources for transgender kids and their families. Transgender children are put at higher risk of attempted suicide or mental health challenges when they face bullying, rejection, or denial of health care. The Biden Administration is releasing several new resources to help transgender children and their parents thrive:
- Providing mental health resources for transgender youth. In recent months, multiple states have removed critical information about mental health resources for LGBTQI+ youth from official state websites. Transgender youth often face significant barriers in accessing supportive resources, and are at greater risk of attempted suicide. In response, the Department of Health and Human Services released a new website that offers resources for transgender and LGBTQI+ youth, their parents, and providers. These resources include best practices for affirming an LGBTQI+ child, and information about suicide prevention services.
- Expanding trainings to support transgender and nonbinary students in schools. The Office of Safe and Supportive Schools in the Department of Education will offer new training for schools with experts and school leaders who will discuss the challenges faced by many transgender and nonbinary students and strategies and actions for providing support.
- Confirming the positive impact of gender affirming care on youth mental health. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has posted LGBTQI+ Youth – Like All Americans, They Deserve Evidence-Based Care, in which Miriam Delphin-Rittmon, Ph.D., HHS Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use and the leader of SAMHSA, shares how to engage LGBTQI+ youth, the evidence behind the positive effects of gender affirming care, and available resources for LGBTQI+ youth, their families, providers, community organizations, and government agencies.
- Confirming that gender-affirming care is trauma-informed care. The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), which is administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, is releasing new information for providers confirming that providing gender-affirming care is neither child maltreatment nor malpractice.
- Providing resources on the importance of gender affirming care for children and adolescents. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health has developed a resource to inform parents and guardians, educators, and other persons supporting children and adolescents with information on what is gender-affirming care and why it is important to transgender, nonbinary, and other gender expansive young people’s well-being.
...
- Reaffirming that transgender children have the right to access gender-affirming health care. In March, following state actions that aim to target parents and doctors who provide gender-affirming care to transgender children with child abuse investigations, the Department of Health and Human Services took multiple actions to support transgender children in receiving the care they need and promised to use every tool available to protect LGTBQI+ children and support their families.
From the Proclamation:
In the past year, hundreds of anti-transgender bills in States were proposed across America, most of them targeting transgender kids. The onslaught has continued this year. These bills are wrong. Efforts to criminalize supportive medical care for transgender kids, to ban transgender children from playing sports, and to outlaw discussing LGBTQI+ people in schools undermine their humanity and corrode our Nation’s values. Studies have shown that these political attacks are damaging to the mental health and well-being of transgender youth, putting children and their families at greater risk of bullying and discrimination.
The White House also held an event last June featuring transgender youth, where Biden ranted against how so-called "anti-LGBTQ bills" were "some of the ugliest, most un-American laws I’ve seen."
On Twitter, Biden's official account tweeted about the date, tagging the official accounts of First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Second Gentlemen Doug Emhoff. The official account also tweeted out a video message. Vice President Harris' official account tweeted about the date. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tweeted out that, among other things, "Trans rights are human rights."
The statement from DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and DNC LGBTQ Caucus Chair Earl Fowlkes emailed another lengthy statement, which also mentions minors.
"Republicans across the country continue to use their power in state and local government to target trans children and make life more difficult for these vulnerable kids and their families. Last year alone, we saw more than 100 anti-trans bills introduced across the country — many of them targeting kids," it in part read.
In wanting to let everyone know "It's International Transgender Day of Visibility," Twitter shared a "Trans Youth Town Hall" video.
"Beto" was trending on Thursday in reaction to a tweet of Beto O'Rourke wearing a shirt that said "Don't mess with trans kids." Our friends at Twitchy took notice as well.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A Sierra Oaks K-8 student was stabbed by another student on Thursday in between classes outside of a classroom. Both are 8th graders and the student stabbed is expected to recover.
The student brought a household knife to campus, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, and inflicted puncture wounds to the other student around 9 a.m.

The first notifications from the San Juan Unified School District went out to families 90 minutes after the incident occurred. In an automated message, one parent told CBS13 they were notified they had the option to pick their student up from campus early.
Some Sierra Oaks families opted to do just that and others, waited until school was released at 1:25 p.m.
One father who came to pick up his elementary-aged daughter told CBS13: “[I feel] a little more safer now. I was a little nervous getting the phone call and wasn’t sure what happened,” said Dustin Lovett.
Another parent told CBS13 she was frustrated with the delay in notification and said she didn’t receive notice of the stabbing until 11:30 a.m., more than two hours after the incident.
“Anxiety. Straight-up anxiety. It’s not supposed to be happening,” said the Sierra Oaks Mother, who did not want her name shared publicly.

CBS13 took these concerns to an SJUSD spokesperson, Trent Allen, and asked about the concerns over a delay in notification.
Allen said protocol requires the school campus to be secured first, law enforcement notified, and a statement of notification to families is then reviewed by law enforcement as not to interfere with the investigation.
“[This is] an opportunity to talk with our students and community, when you see something concerning to you, say something,” said Allen.
Allen said school campuses and educators within San Juan Unified School District are aware that, after two years of distance learning away from campus, being back at school may be challenging for some students. He said, in addition to an anti-bullying campaign, some campuses also allow “free” time for students to play board games as a stress-free way to reacclimate to social settings.
Tammy Abdo, the parent of an 8th-grade student at Sierra Oaks, said her daughter texted her that there had been a stabbing. She said the moments between messages were stressful because she didn’t know what was going on. Finally, when she heard from her daughter she said, she was relieved.

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

WASHINGTON (AP) — Upholding a Trump-era environmental policy, the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday it will not regulate a drinking water contaminant that has been linked to brain damage in infants.
The agency said the Trump administration's decision in 2020 not to regulate perchlorate in drinking water was made with the “best available peer reviewed science.” The chemical is used in rocket fuel and fireworks.
At the time, Trump's EPA said perchlorate was not found widely enough in drinking water or "at levels of public health concern" to warrant federal regulation. The decision was one of many Trump-era rollbacks or eliminations of existing or pending public health and environmental protections. The Biden administration ordered a review of that decision at the start of his term.
EPA Assistant Administrator Radhika Fox said the agency was “applying the right tools to support public health protections.”
Environmental groups slammed the Biden administration’s decision.

“The Trump EPA gave perchlorate a pass; it was a bad decision then, and it’s a bad decision now,” said Erik Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council advocacy group. “Tap water across America will remain contaminated by this toxic chemical.”
Perchlorate from runoff contaminates the drinking water of as many as 16 million Americans, the Obama administration said in 2011 when it announced the EPA would for the first time set maximum limits for the chemical compound. It has been used in the U.S. for decades, particularly by the military and defense industries, and is commonly found in munitions, fireworks, matches and signal flares.
Exposure to the compound can damage the development of fetuses and children and cause measurable drops in IQ in newborns, the American Academy of Pediatrics said in 2019, when it called for stringent federal limits. It damages human development by disrupting the functioning of the thyroid gland.
In its 2020 review, the EPA said state-level regulations and cleanup activities at contaminated sites had lowered the health risks posed by the compound. Massachusetts and California, for example, limit perchlorate in drinking water to 2 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion, respectively.
“But the problem is that for the rest of the country the states have not set standards,” said Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council. He said the compound is in “the top tier of problematic chemicals in our water.”
In the Southwest, perchlorate has been detected in groundwater that entered Lake Mead in Nevada. Manufacturing facilities in Henderson, Nevada, were the source of the chemical. The EPA said cleanup activities at two industrial sites in the state between 2002 and 2006 resulted in reduced levels of perchlorate in data provided since then by Nevada environmental and water agencies.
The EPA said Thursday it was considering other steps besides a federal drinking water limit, such as setting standards at open burning and detonation sites, where severe perchlorate contamination is generated from the burning of hazardous byproducts from weapons manufacturing and munitions. One such site is in Colfax, Louisiana, where environmentalists have long advocated for reform.
But environmental advocates said such measures fall short of what's needed.
“Simply put, toxic chemicals used in rocket fuel do not belong in our drinking water," said John Rumpler, senior attorney with Environment America.

Daylight reveals damage left behind in McLain from Wednesday’s tornado
NWS confirmed an EF-2 tornado damaged the area
MCLAIN, Ms. (WALA) - Cleanup has begun in McLain. The national weather service confirmed Thursday that an EF-2 twister, with winds of at least 113 mph, touched down in Greene County.
Several people were impacted in the community including Pastor Shane Giles.
Giles was attending to his church when the storm passed through. After it left the area, he had one thing on his mind. Getting back to his family.
“Just really wanting to know what how my family was doing and how my kids were reacting because the four little ones were in the bathroom. I knew they were in the bathroom when I left, but I really didn’t have a choice,” Giles said.
When he was finally able to get back home, he saw the damage firsthand.
“By the time I got back over here, there were trees. It was pretty damaged, but God blessed us, and we didn’t’ have any injuries,” Giles said.
Damage from another church is visible from Highway 98. Just minutes away, cleanup continues for the Giles family who admits that this could’ve been so much worse.
“We’ve gotten a lot done today. It’s just gonna take us a little time to get it cleaned up. God blessed our family and blessed the community also,” Giles said.

Opinion
The German economic miracle no longer exists
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Germany is facing a poisonous combination of rising recession risk and the highest inflation for half a century, even if it can avoid the full macroeconomic shock of a Russian energy blockade.
The headline HICP inflation rate spiked to 7.6 per cent in March, well above expectations and a figure unseen since the “stagflation” crisis of the early 1970s.
It follows the steepest one-month fall recorded in the expectations component of the Ifo confidence index.
The manufacturing and broader sentiment indicators are now weaker than they were during the eurozone debt crisis, and not far short of the extreme capitulation levels of the global financial crisis in 2008.
The mood is likely to deteriorate further as the coalition government prepares contingency plans for energy rationing across swathes of industry.
Those plans will be activated if Russia persists with its demand for payment in roubles for fossil fuels - a ruse to force foreign banks to interact with the Russian central bank and therefore erode the sanctions regime.
The German Council of Economic Experts has already cut its growth forecast for this year from 4.6 per cent to 1.8 per cent. It has since started to flag the dangers of a deep and lasting recession.
“It could get a lot worse,” said Professor Volker Weiland, one of the five “wise men”.
Professor Wieland said inflation could spiral into double digits and warned that the latest shock will be harder to handle than the pandemic, when the authorities could at least unleash unlimited monetary and fiscal firepower to stabilise the economy.
This time stimulus risks entrenching the inflationary dynamic and proving counter-productive.
“The European Central Bank will have to raise interest rates. It has no choice: we’re seeing a surge in inflationary expectations,” he told Handelsblatt.
It is a surreal situation. The ECB is still conducting quantitative easing and holding rates at an historic low of minus 0.5 per cent, severely damaging the business model of the German savings and cooperative banks.
These provide 90 per cent of total credit to the Mittelstand family firms, once the bedrock of the German Wirtschaftwunder, but are now under mounting stress.
The nightmare scenario for German conservatives is unfolding before their eyes.
“The euro has become the successor of the Italian lira, not the successor to the Deutschmark, just as we feared,” said Professor Thomas Mayer, Deutsche Bank’s former chief economist and author of Inflationsgespenst (The Ghost of Inflation).
“We were seeing echoes of the 1970s even before the war in Ukraine started. The ECB has been using models that do not work and has forgotten about the money supply: the Keynesian paradigm rules supreme,” he added.
The longer this protracted crisis continues, the more it starts to look like a depression, with lasting structural and hysteresis. The last window is slowly closing before the country’s demographic decline starts in earnest.
“It has succumbed to pure fiscal dominance just like the Banca d’Italia in the 1970s when it was obliged to buy Italian government bonds.
Southern Europe is now so deeply indebted - including France - that the ECB cannot raise rates. It is completely boxed in. Of course, everybody will blame Putin and claim that none of this could have been foreseen,” Professor Mayer said.
Otmar Issing, the ECB’s founding chief economist and a towering figure in German economic circles, said the central bank had betrayed its stability mandate and must now bite the bullet before it is too late.
“The war is no excuse to delay the exit from massive bond purchases. The ECB is going to pay the price for not heeding countless warnings and halting its ultra-expansive monetary policy long ago,” he said.
Evercore ISI said the ECB may have to navigate the reefs by tightening into an economic slowdown while at the same time creating a “spread protection instrument” to protect Club Med, which some might call a euphemism for an illegal monetary bailout of insolvent states.
The German Macroeconomic Policy Institute warned this week that the war in Ukraine has caused the recovery to stall, with risk of an unpredictable “cascade effect” through supply chains and financial channels.
A full cut-off of Russian coal, gas, and oil could slash growth by 6 per cent of GDP, leading to a deep recession.
Germany has yet to recover from post-COVID supply disruptions, especially the shortage of semiconductor chips used in the car industry. It is now suffering a second hit from Ukraine, a manufacturing source of car components and as well as neon gas needed for chip production.
Unlike France and the UK, Germany has not yet recovered its pre-pandemic levels of GDP.
The longer this protracted crisis continues, the more it starts to look like a depression, with lasting structural and hysteresis. The last window is slowly closing before the country’s demographic decline starts in earnest.
The huge differential in gas and energy prices between the US and Germany is hollowing out German industrial plants.
Chemical, fertiliser, steel, and metallurgy companies are either shifting output to US-based plants or losing global market share altogether.
The strains are getting worse at a time when the German car industry itself is grappling with the existential threat of electric vehicles, which it neglected for too long.
Professor Wieland said the debate in Berlin over whether a Russian energy embargo would be costly misses the greater point. Germany has no choice: it is already in conflict with Russia.
“You have to assume that Vladimir Putin will precipitate a supply freeze when it inflicts the most harm and is most advantageous for him. Ergo, we must put all levers in motion now to prepare for it,” he said.

Patrick Demarchelier, the photographer whose style helped defined the easy glamor of 1990s Harper’s Bazaar, and whose career came to an end amid #MeToo allegations of sexual assault, died on Thursday at age 78. His family announced the photographer’s death on his Instagram page; the cause was not immediately known.
Demarchelier, who was born in France, was a classicist: his images of Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, and Christy Turlington were more like portraits than fashion photographs. His camera seemed to bring something out from within–some inner quality of grace and ease. In the 1990s, he had a friendship with then-Harper’s Bazaar editor Liz Tilberis that saw him shoot essentially exclusively for the magazine, helping to construct the signatures of 1990s fashion photography. His style prized cleanness, and secure but never imperious beauty. His work marked a departure from the highly narrative editorials of the 1970s and 1980s, instead radiating effortless confidence.
His most famous photos shared an uncluttered sensuality, from Nadja Auermann with a scarf knotted around her head, to Princess Diana grinning in her tiara, to Janet Jackson on the cover of Rolling Stone, her then-husband’s hands cupping her breasts. His subjects always appeared dynamic and in control–never stiff, never showing off the clothes, though his eye complemented perfectly the minimalist designs of that era by talents like Calvin Klein, Helmut Lang, Prada, and Giorgio Armani. In fact, it was Demarchelier who introduced Calvin Klein to Kate Moss: after he shot her for Bazaar, the photographer went to Klein and recommended he cast her as well, the model told Bazaar for a short profile on Demarchelier in 1995. In addition to his work for Bazaar, he was well-regarded for his advertising campaigns for brands like Calvin Klein and Dior.
To those outside the fashion bubble, he was perhaps best known as Princess Diana’s personal photographer. His photographs of her embodied the qualities that have made her image feel timeless: glamor and freshness, a pitch-perfect mix of high style and natural beauty. He took portraits of her that remain some of the best-known of the royal, including the image, taken in 1991 and featured on the November 1997 cover of Harper’s Bazaar, that showed her dressed in an armorial, studded sleeveless gown by her friend Gianni Versace, with her short hair slicked back.
But Demarchelier’s career came to an abrupt end in 2018 when a multitude of models as well as interns and young employees alleged to The Boston Globe that the photographer had made sexual advances to them on set and in the workplace. Demarchelier denied the allegations at the time, calling them “ridiculous”; in the aftermath, most magazines and brands ceased working with him. (Demarchelier stopped shooting for Harper's Bazaar in the early 2000s.)
His departure from the industry spelled the end of a crisp and understated style of fashion photography, and a new generation of image makers has emerged since to rewrite the codes. Still, his influence can be seen in the continuing prevalence of celebrities in the art form, in which actors and musicians are vessels for runway clothes as often as models. | https://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/photography/a39603167/patrick-demarchelier-obituary/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:32Z |
There a number of takeaways from Will Smith’s Total Fail. Here they are, in no particular order:
(1) Men who are married to women with whom they maintain an “open marriage” do not need to defend anyone’s “honor.”
(2) Men who are more upset that their wives have been insulted than that they have been, what the Italians call, “cornuti” (you know, the horns) need to discuss it with their therapist.
(3) Men who punch other men, and then apologize to everyone in the world except the guy who was punched, need to discuss it with their backup therapist;
(4) Women who applaud men who use their fists to defend them against insults do not deserve to be defended.
(5) Hollywood actors who give a standing ovation to guys who punch other guys deserve to be punched.
(6) One Black man punching another Black man is not a great way to commemorate the passing of the great Sidney Poitier.
(7) Will Smith has some serious emotional issues that need to be addressed by more than a golden statue.
(8) Those of us who have deep roots in West Philadelphia can be proud of another native son, Oscar winner Questlove.
The above list is not exhaustive, and I’m certain that others have even more incisive observations than the ones I’ve advanced. But I’ve tried to cover the most compelling aspects of Will Smith’s pathetic, unfortunate meltdown at the Oscars.
After we all saw the Overbrook native assaulting comic Chris Rock for making the tasteless but non-lethal jokes about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, there was no lack of opinions. Many agreed with me that Smith was completely at fault. Others thought he was justified as a chivalrous knight protecting the tender sensibilities of his spouse. Some insisted that it was all a fabricated grab for ratings while others still (me included) believed that it was an authentic (and criminally actionable) expression of rage.
I actually don’t think it matters whether the act was staged or spontaneous, though. The street gutter behavior of Will Smith is not the point, even though Chris Rock’s cheek might disagree. What matters to me, and what should matter to you, is the way society reacted to the incident. It was a Rohrshack test of how we look at violence, at sexism, at race, at privilege, at law enforcement and at fidelity. So many things were intertwined in that regrettable moment in L.A. that the punch is almost irrelevant.
The thing I find most troubling is that no one thought to evict Will Smith from the Oscar ceremony, let alone arrest him. It’s unlikely that they would have dared arrest a Black man at the event once dubbed “Oscars So White.” The optics on that would have been somewhere between George Floyd and Jussie Smollett, but it would have been bad. The elders of the Academy Awards did not want to be seen as manhandling a man who just handled another man. And race was absolutely a part of it.
The next thing that angered me, probably as much as the refusal to recognize the criminality of what Smith did, was the archaic idea that a man has the right to “defend his woman” with his fists. For all of our “I am woman, hear me roar” theatrics these days, and for all of the pleas for equality and our veneration of feminist ideals, the fact that there are still people who smile when a man hits another man because the tender feelings of the damsel have been bruised is repellent. It is also a complete and unmistakable negation of the principle of female empowerment.
In other words, if a woman is disrespected, she can deal with it herself. She does not need tuxedoed Mike Tyson wannabee coming to her rescue. We traded our smelling salts for pepper spray, years ago.
And on a much more sobering note, as my friend Joan observed, men defending women has a tragic history, particularly when race is involved. Anyone old enough to remember Emmet Till understands that men have used that “I’m protecting my woman” excuse to commit heinous crimes, and those crimes generally have nothing at all to do with defending the “honor” of the ”ladies.”
Speaking of which, there’s the laughable thought that a woman who has been very open about her alternative version of fidelity should have anyone defending her honor. As Shakespeare wrote, “The purest treasure mortal times afford is spotless reputation, take that away Men are but gilded loan or painted clay…Mine honor is my life; both grow in one, take honor from me and my life is done.” Judging from the way Jada and Will have lived their lives, it’s doubtful a few mean comments from a comedian did any more damage to her reputation.
A friend of mine said that the character of the person being defended should be irrelevant, but I disagree. In order to defend honor, it has to exist. Or to continue with the Shakespearean theme, “methinks they doth protest too much.”
And as if the violence and hypocrisy weren’t enough, the fact that so many people thought this was staged is possibly the saddest thing about the mess. We have become accustomed to fake everything: fake breasts, fake lips, fake meat, fake news, fake marriages, that we are unable to recognize true rage when we see it. There are moments when humans allow ourselves to be possessed by emotion and abandon reason. Since I’ve been trotting out the classic writers in this essay, let me trot out another, Blaise Pascal, who wrote “the heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of.” I could say that about Will with respect to Jada, but I also think it explains why some people do the things they do: there is no logical explanation. All of those folks on my timeline saying that Will punched Chris for ratings are victims of that sad cynicism.
The saddest part of the whole affair is the disintegration of Philly’s “Fresh Prince.: Where once there was light and energy, enthusiasm and generosity, genius and creation, now there is a man who dissolved in tears on national TV after having punched a man for making a joke. In the moment he should have been celebrating the culmination of a career, he was exposing his inner demons to a cowardly audience of uncaring sycophants.
Shame on him, and on them.

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.

Georgia Tech will rounded out an offseason of change with the addition of veteran receivers coach Del Alexander. Alexander replaces Kerry Dixon who left for the Baltimore Ravens to become the assistant quarterbacks' coach following the Jackets' spring game.
Alexander comes to Tech with a long history with new offensive coordinator Chip Long dating back to Long's days as an assistant at Arizona State where both coaches worked then offensive coordinator and current FSU coach Mike Norvell. Alexander joined Long when he got the Notre Dame offensive coordinator position in 2017 as receivers coach and served in that position for the Irish until 2021.
Alexander brings some west coast flair to the Flats as a former player at USC and a former assistant at UNLV, Oregon State, San Diego State, Wisconsin, and the aforementioned Arizona State and Notre Dame. DelVaughn Alexander had the poor timing of playing on a USC team in college with long-time NFL vet Johnnie Morton as the primary receiver his first year and future NFL star Keyshawn Johnson the second year all under Hall of Fame coach John Robinson in his two years at USC.
With Long at Notre Dame, Alexander helped produce some of the top offenses in college football and the two of them were a dynamic duo as recruiters as well for the Irish.
Alexander marks the seventh on the field staff personnel change this offseason for the Jackets. | https://georgiatech.rivals.com/news/tech-expected-to-tab-veteran-del-alexander-to-fill-wr-coach-vacancy | 2022-04-01T02:06:32Z |

Which natural testosterone boosters are best?
Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone that aids in the development of both male and female secondary sex characteristics. But in addition to these actions, testosterone also plays a role in the development of bone and muscle mass, as well as promoting fat loss and increasing overall health and well-being. For people who struggle with low testosterone levels, a natural testosterone booster can help.
Force Factor Test X180 Ignite Total Testosterone Booster is specifically formulated to increase energy levels while recovering from injury or illness. It’s a good place to start to treat low T.
What to know before you buy a natural testosterone booster
Dose
Testosterone boosters gradually improve the symptoms of low T over 30 to 60 days, but you’ll need to get the correct dose.
It’s important to talk to your doctor before you begin supplementation to make sure it’s a good choice for you. In general, follow the dosing guidelines on your supplement. Each will be different depending on the ingredients and the focus of the supplement.
Symptoms
Natural testosterone boosters utilize different formulations designed to address specific symptoms of low testosterone.
These might include:
- Insecurity and low self-esteem
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Thinning bones
- Decreased muscle mass
- Changes in mood
- Insomnia
- Sexual dysfunction
- Decreased libido
- Infertility
Because testosterone production naturally decreases by as much as 1% per year every year after age 30, some of these symptoms can start to appear in younger people. Look for natural testosterone boosters that specifically address the symptoms you are experiencing.
What to look for in a quality natural testosterone booster
Active ingredients
Look for active ingredients that are proven to increase testosterone production and relieve symptoms of low T.
These include:
- Ginger: Among other actions, ginger reduces oxidative stress and boosts production of testosterone. Ginger is also anti-inflammatory and may aid in recovery after injury.
- Rhodiola: Rhodiola suppresses cortisol production and can relieve mood disorders (i.e., anxiety and depression) linked to low T.
- Tongkat ali: Also known as tung saw, longifolia, pasak bumi, eurycoma and longjack, this herb can boost testosterone levels and relieve symptoms of aging.
- Horny goat weed: Chinese medicine refers to horny goat weed as yin yang huo. It’s used to increase blood flow to the genitals. Women may also take it but phytoestrogens in the plant can lead to bone loss and should be used with caution.
- Ashwagandha: This powerful adaptogen has been shown in double-blind trials to relieve fatigue, increase vigor and promote sexual and psychological well-being in men with the symptoms of low T.
- Fenugreek seed: Clinical reviews of fenugreek seed and its effect of testosterone found that it dramatically increased testosterone production and improved libido.
- Tribulus terrestris: Tribulus terrestris is best used with other plants to boost testosterone production. It is important to note that some supplements of this plant have been found to be contaminated with steroids.
No fillers
Look for supplements that contain no fillers or binders. Some of these substances are relatively harmless, like starches, but others come with long chemical names and compositions that can affect the performance of other active ingredients.
Non-GMO
Non-GMO active ingredients are chemical-free and the best choice for a natural testosterone booster. They are also preservative-free and have no toxins that can be harmful with long-term use.
Third-party tested
Because supplements are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration, it’s important that whichever one you choose has been third-party tested for best practices in manufacturing, processing and packaging.
No allergens
At a minimum, your supplements should be free of common allergens like corn, gluten, dairy or soy. If you are limiting or restricting animal products, look for a vegan or vegetarian label.
How much you can expect to spend on a natural testosterone booster
A month’s supply will cost $9-$50, depending on the potency of the booster.
Natural testosterone booster FAQ
How long does it take to see results?
A. Improving your health with natural supplements is good for your body, but it may take a while to see results. When starting with natural testosterone boosters, allow yourself at least 30 to 60 days on the supplement to see if there are any changes.
If you don’t see any changes, you may need to try another supplement or increase the dose. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Are natural testosterone boosters safe?
A. Whenever you add a supplement to your diet, it’s important to talk to your doctor. They can help you determine what supplement might work best for your symptoms and verify that there will be no drug potential interactions.
That said, although natural testosterone boosters are generally recognized as safe, the risk of side effects is always present.
These might include:
- Increased aggression
- Acne
- Digestive upset
- Hair loss
- Abdominal pain
- Allergies to active ingredients
- Development of breasts
Severe side effects are rare and vary depending on the active ingredients.

Morning showers on Friday as front moves close
First Alert Weather Morning
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - The windy weather that we saw today turns to some wet weather on Friday morning as a line of mainly showers will be moving in after midnight. The rain chance is at 60% overnight with that tapering off to 40% later in the day. There is a very small risk of a an isolated thunderstorm on Friday morning. The storm prediction center gives us a 5% chance of getting a severe storm or two as the atmosphere will become a little more stable as the front nears.
The front will pull up stationary over SW Florida and be a focal point for another round of storms on Saturday evening through early Sunday morning. This little piece of energy will move through quickly and by Sunday sunrise most of the unsettled weather will be well east of our area and should make for a fairly nice day on Sunday.
The high on Friday will be in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees on Friday with winds out of the WSW at 10-15 mph so not as windy as what we had on Thursday. Saturday morning we will see partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the upper 60s to start the day and then things will warm up into the low 80s by the early afternoon. We will see a good chance for showers and thunderstorms through Saturday evening and into early Sunday morning. The rain chance overnight will be 50% for night time storms.
Sunday night we will see partly cloudy skies with 40% chance for scattered storms and highs near 80 degrees.
Monday looks to be warm with lows in mid 60s and a high in the low 80s under partly cloudy skies and just a 30% chance for a storm or two late in the day.
Tuesday will be nice and warm with a high around 85 degrees and little chance for rain.

National insurance hike will force firms to raise prices and hire fewer staff, new data shows
- 29 per cent of business chiefs say they will have to raise prices as due to tax rise
- And 15 per cent will employ fewer people in response to national insurance rise
- NI will rise by 1.25 percentage points for both workers and businesses this month
Businesses will raise prices and employ fewer staff to offset the impact of the national insurance rise, figures reveal.
Almost one in three business chiefs – 29 per cent – surveyed by the Institute of Directors (IoD) said they will have to raise prices as a result of the tax rise.
And 15 per cent will employ fewer people in response to the 1.25 percentage points rise this month for both workers and businesses.
At the same time as the tax rise, soaring energy bills will pile more pressure on struggling firms and families.
A separate survey by the IoD found that more than half of business leaders said the cost of energy is having a negative impact on their organisation – three times as many as last year.
Last week Rishi Sunak announced that he will raise the threshold at which people start paying NI contributions by £3,000 from July to help lower earners. (Pictured: The Chancellor before his Spring Statement in 11 Downing Street)
Kitty Ussher, chief economist at the IoD, said that the Government’s decision to push ahead with the jobs tax was ‘pushing up inflation even further, and at the worst possible time’.
Last week Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that he will raise the threshold at which people start paying NI contributions by £3,000 from July to help lower earners.
But the Daily Mail and economists said that he should have scrapped the NI hike altogether.
Kitty Ussher, pictured, chief economist at the IoD, said that the Government’s decision to push ahead with the jobs tax was ‘pushing up inflation even further, and at the worst possible time’
Ms Ussher said: ‘It’s understandable for businesses to have no choice but to raise prices because of the international cost of energy and other supply problems, but our data now shows that the Government’s own decision to push ahead with the jobs tax is also of itself pushing up inflation even further, and at the worst possible time.
‘For some firms it is also causing them to hire less people.
‘This is a deliberate policy choice and makes life even more difficult for households facing spiralling costs.’ | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674593/National-insurance-hike-force-firms-raise-prices-hire-fewer-staff-new-data-shows.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:33Z |

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

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

Chandigarh, March 31
Wondering why this March was relatively hot? Well, it was officially the driest March month of the city since 2008.
It is the first March after 2008 not to have seen any rain. Since then, the city has seen rain in March till 2021.
According to the data available with the Chandigarh Meteorological Department, last year, the month saw 8.2 mm of rainfall, while 2020 saw 76.1 mm rainfall. The highest rainfall in the past 14 years in March was recorded in 2015 — 117.8 mm. In 2010, it was a “trace” — low rainfall that cannot be calculated.
“There was no strong western disturbance and the dry spell continued. Thus, there was no rain in March and the average temperature also remained the highest compared to the past few years,” said Manmohan Singh, Director of the city Met Department.
The maximum temperature in th city today touched 37°C, five degrees above normal, while the minimum temperature was 18.6°C, three degrees above normal.
In the coming days too, the maximum temperature is expected to stay between 35°C and 37°C.
Expect above normal temperature in April
As per the monthly outlook for April, released by the Met Department, above normal maximum and minimum temperatures are likely in Chandigarh. Below average rain has been predicted for April.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – President Biden announced Thursday he wants to release a million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s reserve for six months.
California has the highest gas prices in the nation with the current average price for regular unleaded gas at $5.89, according to AAA.

Gas expert Severin Borenstein of UC Berkeley tells CBS13 tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will help, but more importantly, it will target Russia’s crude oil prices.
California consumes about 40 million gallons of gasoline per day, he said.
Bornstein says it breaks down to about a gallon per person per day.
There are 42 gallons to a barrel.
The calculation? The release won’t be meaningful to California drivers.

The working mother tells CBS13 she spends roughly $800 per month on gas. Prior to the Russian invasion, her monthly gas expense was around $500.
“A lot of things are limited now on what we’re going to do because I have to choose ‘We’re going to get gas or we’re going to have to do something else?’”
Hamilton says the squeeze means her children sometimes use public transit.
While California lawmakers debate the best relief proposal, there might be a bright spot.
“The spot price of California gasoline that is at the refinery has been coming down so I think we will start to see that over the next couple of weeks – if oil prices hold steady,” Borenstein said.
When prices do come down, Borenstein says drivers should keep comparing gas prices because that’s the time when drivers see the biggest spread between stations.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The owner of a downtown Los Angeles building where an explosion injured 12 firefighters has been allowed to enter a judicial diversion program that allows him to avoid jail time and potentially have all charges dismissed.
A court commissioner on Wednesday granted the diversion request for Steve Sungho Lee. He and his companies must pay more than $15,000 in investigative fees, make sure the property meets fire and building codes and arranging for Fire Department training.
Lee owned a commercial building on East Boyd Street in the city's Toy District that caught fire on May 16, 2020. Firefighters had to run for their lives when a ball of flames shot out the building and scorched a fire truck across the street.
Firefighters inside the building had to run through a wall of flames he estimated as 30 feet (9 meters) high and wide, and those on the roof scrambled down a ladder that was engulfed in fire.
Fire officials said the building was a warehouse for Smoke Tokes, a wholesale distributor of supplies for smoking and vaping products including butane hash oil, a concentrated cannabis extract that can be eaten, smoked or vaped. Highly flammable butane is used in the manufacturing process.

Most of the injured firefighters still haven't returned to work and one, Capt. Victor Aguirre, was hospitalized for more than two months and all of his fingers had to be partially amputated, according to a lawsuit he filed against the building and business owners.
Aguirre alleged that the area contained “hundreds of illegally and improperly stored butane canisters and thousands of illegally and improperly stored nitrous oxide cylinders.”
A fire department report concluded that the blaze, which spread to a nearby building, was fueled by an “excessive quantity” of the containers.
Investigators from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives concluded that the fire started under a storage rack in the building and that a worker with a lit cigarette was seen in the area. The cause of the fire was ruled accidental.
However, city prosecutors filed more than 300 misdemeanor charges of violating fire and safety codes against Lee, his companies and owners of businesses in the building and nearby properties. That included more than 160 counts against Lee and his companies.
If Lee meets all conditions of his judicial diversion program for two years, the charges will be dismissed.
“Mr. Lee will be deemed by law to have never been charged," said his attorney, Blair Berk. “The exhaustive federal investigation of the tragic fire objectively concluded that the cause was accidental, and there was no finding of any wrongdoing by Mr. Lee or his companies.”
City Attorney Mike Feuer opposed diversion for Lee, noting the severity of the fire, the injuries suffered by the firefighters and Lee's alleged failure “to take steps which could have mitigated the extent of the blaze."
The owners of Smoke Tokes and another business, Green Buddha, agreed in November 2020 to pay $139,000 each to cover investigative costs and to move out of the building. Charges against them were later dismissed.
This story has been updated to correct that Lee and his companies must pay more than $15,000, not $125,000.

Bruce Willis was showing signs of cognitive decline for some years, including firing a gun loaded with a blank on the wrong cue while on set, a Los Angeles Times report has revealed.
On Wednesday, Willis’ family said he had been diagnosed with aphasia – a cognitive disorder that affects an individual’s ability to communicate – and that he would retire from acting.
Numerous sources from a range of productions Willis worked on in recent years have spoken to the LA Times about concerns they had about the actor’s capacity to work.
Mike Burns, the director of 2021’s Out of Death, reduced Willis’s role in the film after noticing he was struggling.
“It looks like we need to knock down Bruce’s page count by about 5 pages,” read an email Burns sent in June 2020 to the film’s screenwriter.
“We also need to abbreviate his dialogue a bit so that there are no monologues, etc.”
Other sources said the star was unable to remember his dialogue and had lines fed to him through an earpiece.
Burns is one of nearly two dozen people who spoke with the LA Times about their concern for his wellbeing.
While on set for 2020’s Hard Kill, Willis fired a gun loaded with a blank – twice in a row – on the wrong cue, although no one was injured, co-star Lala Kent has alleged.
Kent was supposed to duck once Willis had delivered a line, serving as the cue before the weapon was fired. But Willis fired before delivering the line.
“Because my back was to him, I wasn’t aware of what was happening behind me,” Kent said.
“But the first time, it was like, ‘No big deal, let’s reset’.”
The film’s producer disputed that claim but at least two people familiar with the incident have also spoken about it.
Willis’s management team limited his film shoots to two days a week, and no more than eight hours of work per day.
Production sources said he often only stayed for four.
At times, Willis would also question where he was, two crew members recalled.
“I know why you’re here, and I know why you’re here, but why am I here?” Willis is alleged to have said while on the set of White Elephant, a yet-to-be released film.
A crew member said Willis “was just being puppeted” and that the actor would be given a line but not understand what it meant.
The film’s director, Jesse V. Johnson, and his team decided after filming had ended that they would not do another film with Willis.
“We are all Bruce Willis fans, and the arrangement felt wrong and ultimately a rather sad end to an incredible career, one that none of us felt comfortable with,” he said.
It’s also been announced that Willis will no longer be receiving a Golden Raspberry Award as a result of his diagnosis.
The awards, known as the Razzies, is a satirical show that hands out accolades for the worst performances.
Willis had received an award in a special category, “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie.”
Upon news of his diagnosis, the Razzies controversially decided to go ahead with presenting him the award.
But following backlash, the organisation issued a statement reversing their decision.
“After much thought and consideration, the Razzies have made the decision to rescind the Razzie Award given to Bruce Willis, due to his recently disclosed diagnosis,” the statement read.
“If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision-making and/or performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie.”
Despite his condition worsening in recent years, Willis was still highly sought after, with his involvement helping independent filmmakers sell their films on the international stage.
White Elephant production supervisor Terri Martin said he admired and respected Willis’s work but it was time for him to retire.
“He just looked so lost, and he would say, ‘I’ll do my best.’ He always tried his best.”

Tech is in the final running for a pair of transfers
Georgia Tech made the final three for Citadel transfer forward Hayden Brown along with South Carolina and Loyola Chicago on Thursday afternoon and the final six for Old Dominion big man Kalu Ezikpe as well.
Brown will be a graduate transfer and he put up impressive numbers in the SoCon averaging 18.8 points per game each of the last two seasons while averaging 10 rebounds per game and one steal per game over the last two years as well.
Brown could help fill the void left by Jordan Usher and Khalid Moore's departures in the frontcourt and give the Jackets a reliable scorer as well with the ability to hit shots on all three levels.
Ezikpe had a final six of Cincinnati, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Western Kentucky, and Pitt. Ezikpe is more of a rim protector/straight post player and he averaged 11.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this past season. He has two years of eligibility remaining. | https://georgiatech.rivals.com/news/tech-is-in-the-final-running-for-a-pair-of-transfers | 2022-04-01T02:06:38Z |

Fraser Valley nurse hit with multiple tickets despite registering for staff parking pass
A nurse at a Lower Mainland hospital feels as though she’s being punished just for going to work.
After months of free parking for visitors and staff during the pandemic, Abbotsford Regional Hospital brought pay parking back in March.
Ashley Third has worked as a licensed practical nurse at the hospital for six years. In November, she and some of her colleagues registered for the $21 monthly employee parking pass online through the Hangtag app.
“We were instructed that all of us would be put on a waitlist, and come the time we were to start paying, we’d all be granted our monthly parking passes,” said Third.
Then, on March 21, Third finished her shift to find a parking ticket on her windshield. It was issued by Impark, which manages the hospital’s parking lot. She noticed approximately 30 other vehicles had been ticketed as well.
Thinking it was a mistake, Third contacted Hangtag. She said she was told there could be a problem with her account and support staff would get back to her in a day. Third says she didn’t hear back from anyone. Two days later, she was issued another parking ticket.
In the past week, the nurse has racked up three $80 violation tickets. She believes Hangtag never issued her a parking pass and mistakenly kept her on a waitlist, but getting clarification from the company has been a challenge.
“It’s been quite mentally and emotionally exhausting just trying to get any answers whatsoever,” Third said.
She’s now stuck paying the daily parking rate of $4.50. Adding up to $1,200 annually, it’s nearly $1,000 more than the employee parking pass rate, and much more than Third can afford.
The nurse, who’s worked at the hospital for six years, credits management for trying to help diffuse the parking problem for her and other health-care workers, many of whom are on the brink of burnout from the pandemic. It’s the parking lot operators, she says, who aren’t doing their part.
“We need to find a better system,” she said. “I don’t know the answer, but we need to find a better system and better communication from Hangtag and Impark.”
Neither company immediately responded to CTV News Vancouver’s requests for comment.
