When Square Enix announced the remastering of Chrono Cross In the Nintendo Direct last February, he confirmed that the game would have the possibility to choose between the soundtrack of the original version and a new improved mix for this relaunch. It did so through a frequently asked questions article published on its official website, a FAQ that the company has now updated to clarify that the original version of the songs will not be available in this remaster.
“Originally, this article incorrectly claimed that players would be able to switch between the original and remastered soundtrack,” says the company in the FAQ section of Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Editionand adds: “Please keep in mind that it was a mistake and that only enhanced music can be played“.
What has been improved in this remastering of Chrono Cross?
The soundtrack has been one of the most remembered strengths of Chrono Crossthat is why in this remastering emphasis has been placed on giving the original music a facelift in collaboration with the composer Yasunori Mitsudaresponsible for the original game’s soundtrack, and the group Dreamer’s Circus: In addition to various fixes, three songs from the soundtrack have been updated and a completely new one has been composed for the selection menu.
Of course, these are not the only novelties that are included in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Editionsince the remastering will also have both visual enhancements (updated 3D models, higher resolution illustrations) as with gameplay news (we can deactivate the fighting against enemies). Furthermore, the very name of this remaster gives us a clue of the most important additions to this project: in addition to the original Chrono Cross we can also play Radical Dreamers – Le Trsor Interdit –a text-based adventure video game published by Sattelaview in 1996 that forms the basis of the story of Chrono Cross.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition will be released in digital distribution on April 7 for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch at a price of 19.99 . Have texts in Spanish.

Is the end near? Imran Khan’s options fade
Facing imminent ouster, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan reportedly offered to dissolve the National Assembly on the condition that the opposition withdraw the no-confidence motion against him, local media reported on Friday.
According to a report in Geo News, an “important personality” delivered PM Khan’s message to the leader of the opposition Shahbaz Shariz. Khan also said that he is willing to face any situation if his offer finds no takers. There was no details on the opposition’s reaction to Khan’s message.
In an address to the nation, hours after the report, Khan said he will face a no-confidence vote on Sunday amid reports that the opposition has garnered the numbers it needs to oust him from office.

The joint opposition, led by former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-premier Nawaz Sharif, had cobbled together 196 lawmakers the day before, well above the 172 needed to vote out the former cricket star, local media said. Some of Khan’s own party members are also expected to vote against him amid growing public anger over rising living costs.
“On Sunday, Pakistan’s fate will be decided,” Khan said in a televised address on Thursday. “I will fight to the last and if I win, I will come back stronger.”
Parliament adjourned
His address came after Pakistan’s parliament on Thursday adjourned a debate on the political survival of the embattled premier. There was no immediate explanation for the adjournment of Thursday’s session, which was postponed within minutes of opening. Parliament was to reconvene on Sunday to begin the debate.

Khan came to power in 2018, promising to rid Pakistan of corruption even as he partnered with some of the country’s tainted old guard. He called them ‘electables’ — necessary to win elections because their wealth and vast land holdings guaranteed votes in large swaths of the country.
A former international cricket star turned politician, Khan has espoused a more conservative brand of Islam. He has also kept company with radical clerics, including Maulana Tariq Jameel, who once said that women in short skirts had caused the Covid-19 epidemic.
Still, Khan is credited with building the country’s foreign reserves, now over $18 billion. Remittances from Pakistanis living overseas was a whopping $29 billion in 2021, despite the economic downturn caused by the pandemic.

His reputation for fighting corruption has encouraged Pakistanis to send money home and he has also cracked down on the unofficial money transfer system, known as Hawala. However, the opposition blames him for high inflation and a weak Pakistani rupee.
His handling of the coronavirus pandemic brought him international praise.
Khan’s implementation of so-called “smart” lockdowns that targeted heavily infected areas — rather than a nationwide shutdown — kept some of the country’s key industries such as construction afloat.
On Thursday, the leader of a key opposition party, Bilawal Bhutto, urged Khan to resign. “You have lost. . . You have only one option: Resign,” Bhutto said.

He claimed that it had been sent to the ministry of foreign affairs.

Judge questions Eastman’s work for Trump amid House committee’s allegation
A federal judge on Tuesday questioned John Eastman’s work on behalf of former President Trump surrounding the 2020 election following the House Jan. 6 select committee’s allegation that the lawyer helped his client break the law in an attempt to overturn the election results.
During a three-hour virtual court hearing, U.S. District Judge David Carter gave little indication about how he might decide Eastman’s lawsuit to block the committee’s subpoena for his private communications.
The judge did, however, probe both parties on their various legal arguments about whether those records are protected by attorney-client privilege.
Carter, who was appointed by former President Clinton, followed up on the committee’s explosive allegation last week and whether there was enough evidence to show that Eastman’s conduct forfeited the privilege.
“If a client or attorney believes that a law is unconstitutional, does that excuse a violation of that law?” Carter asked, referring to communications indicating that Eastman lobbied for former Vice President Mike Pence to conduct a questionable procedural maneuver to obstruct Congress’s certification of the Electoral College votes.
Eastman’s attorney Charles Burnham responded that it depends on the circumstances and argued that his client was advocating the position that the Electoral Count Act of 1887, which governs Congress’s role in certifying presidential election results, was unconstitutional and that defying it could have laid the groundwork for a legal challenge.
“In those specific circumstances, that was the position Dr. Eastman advocated, and your honor does not have to agree with it or disagree with it. That’s not before your honor today,” Burnham said.
In court filings submitted last week, the Jan. 6 select committee made its first allegation against Trump of criminal wrongdoing, saying that he and Eastman had conspired to violate two federal laws in their effort to overturn the election results and prevent President Biden from taking office.
The panel asked Carter to review the subpoenaed communications himself, privately, in order to assess whether they fall under an exception to the attorney-client privilege concerning criminal or fraudulent conduct.
During the hearing on Tuesday, Douglas Letter, the House’s general counsel, pushed back on the idea that Eastman’s efforts to overturn the election could be considered as legitimate legal work.
“We don’t think that there is any way that a legal scholar with Dr. Eastman’s abilities could possibly think that it was consistent with the Constitution for the vice president to overturn the electoral count,” Letter said. “Let’s suppose, for example, the vice president was a candidate for president – that the Vice President could say, ‘I just declared myself the winner.’ There is no possible way that that could be constitutional.”
It’s unclear how Carter might rule in the case or how much of a factor the crime-fraud exception will play in such a ruling.
The committee has argued several reasons Eastman failed to show that his communications are protected by the attorney-client privilege, including that the nature of his advice to Trump appeared to be largely political in nature as opposed to legal.
The committee’s allegations have no direct bearing on whether Trump will face criminal charges, and the threshold they must overcome to successfully challenge Eastman’s attorney-client privilege claims is much lower than the burden of proof in a criminal prosecution.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said.

Nearly 200 new jobs coming to CVG after company builds three-bay hanger at airport
Nearly 200 new jobs will be coming to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport after a company builds a three-bay, 150,000 square feet hanger at the airport.
FEAM AERO recently announced the construction of its second hanger at CVG. The hanger will cost $40.2 million. In addition to the 150,000 square feet of hangar, there will be a back shop, a storeroom space and 5,000 square feet of administrative offices.
The new facility will have the ability to accommodate wide-body aircraft types up to 767 fully enclosed.
Officials said the hanger will be completed by the end of 2023. According to CVG officials, the hanger will create nearly 200 high-paying aircraft mechanic jobs. FEAM AERO said 124 of those will be high-wage Kentucky-resident jobs.
“It is an incredible accomplishment to continue to expand FEAM’s presence at CVG, an organization that is truly innovating in the e-commerce space,” said Fred Murphy, chief executive officer, FEAM AERO. “This new operation will provide ample aircraft maintenance capacity and resources for CVG’s growing cargo operations. Our initial success with our first hangar, and immediate demand for expansion, confirm that we are in the right place, at the right time, with the right partners. I commend our dedicated and relentless team of professionals that embody the core values of our company every day; it is because of them that we can maintain our high standard of quality and service as we grow and enter new markets.”
A groundbreaking ceremony for FEAM AERO’s new hangar is tentatively planned for this summer.

COLUMN-Analysts blow U.S. corn acres again, but could redeem in June -Braun
By Karen Braun
FORT COLLINS, Colo., March 31 (Reuters) - U.S. planting intentions kept its unpredictable reputation alive on Thursday as corn acres fell outside the range of analyst estimates for a fourth consecutive year. The trade reversed its overestimation trend on soybean area, but the miss was still substantial.
Market participants have recently come a little closer to the reported corn and soy areas in the June survey versus March, but both reports often catch folks off guard and can cause chaos in the futures market.
Predictions for combined U.S. corn and soybean acres were not too shabby, but separately those estimates were completely off, almost as if analysts should have switched their corn estimate for soy, and vice versa.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture pegged 2022 U.S. corn plantings at 89.49 million acres based largely on producer surveys conducted in the first half of March. That was 2.5 million below the average trade estimate and slightly below the lowest guess.
However, soybean plantings came in at a record 90.96 million acres, some 2.2 million above the trade average. That was analysts’ largest underestimation of March soy area since 2008, and the only other years since then when the trade was too low were 2014 and 2017.
Projected 2022 soybean plantings combined with corn for 180.45 million acres, down fractionally from last year’s record and short of the expected 180.73 million.
Chicago-traded December corn futures CZ2 surged more than 4% on the data, reaching a contract high of $6.91 per bushel, easily a record for the date among past new-crop contracts.
November soybeans SX2 sunk over 3% and settled at $14.20-1/2 per bushel after reaching their lowest point since Feb. 25. That is also new-crop soybeans’ highest-ever for the date, though the 2022 contract is well off its high of $15.55.
The ratio of new-crop soybeans to corn at 2.08 is the lowest for any date since mid-2019, and it very strongly indicates that the futures market was hoping for more corn acres. The ratio had been increasingly favoring corn throughout March, but the failure to produce the acres is almost certainly linked with the high input costs.
JUNE THOUGHTS
USDA will publish its next acreage survey on June 30, and those figures will likely be official until October. Combined corn and soybean area usually increases between the March and June surveys, and the only times it decreased were 2019 and 2020 due to bad weather and the pandemic.
The U.S. Climate Prediction Center on Thursday called for a possible wetter bias during April in the crop-heavy Midwest, though corn and soybean planting are heaviest during May. Concerns should be at bay for now, though the next two months of weather are often what cause acreage shifts between March and June.
If spring weather is anything close to normal, the record soybean area should hold and might even expand into June. Soybean plantings were basically unchanged from March to June last year, but other than the historically wet 2019 season, the last time soy acres dropped within that period was in 2011.
However, final soy plantings are usually lower than in June and mixed versus the March estimate. In the last 10 years excluding 2019, final soy area was lower than in March five times and higher five times.
For corn, June acres have mimicked the intentions trade bias for the last five years, meaning plantings rose in June if analysts were too high on the March report and vice versa. Excluding 2019 and 2020, June corn acres rose from March seven times in the last 10 years by an average of about 700,000 acres.
The trend for final corn acres versus March is mixed, though the June figure is often too high. Final corn plantings came in a little higher than in June last year, but they were lower in the previous eight years.
All these trends could be completely out the window this year for both crops as sky-high input costs and fertilizer availability issues prevented farmers from reporting a strong corn area despite the sufficient signals from the futures market.

BOISE, Idaho — Disseminating "obscene materials" to minors was a topic that came up near the end of this year's legislative session.
House Bill 666 would have removed a defense in current Idaho Law. The defense in Idaho Code reads, "The defendant was a bona fide school, college, university, museum or public library, or was acting in his capacity as an employee of such an organization or a retail outlet affiliated with and serving the educational purposes of such an organization."
Removing the defense would open the possibility of criminalizing librarians in an official capacity.
"This is more about the potential of criminalizing librarians for acting in their official capacity. This bill would do nothing to change the policies or procedures around how appointed trustees or head librarians go through that review process regarding of what materials they may or may not have in their collection," The City of Boise Government Affairs Director, Kathy Griesmyer, said.
Books undergo a peer review process from librarians across the country to determine appropriate materials, reading level, and target audience before being accepted into a collection.
A lot of the books that were brought up in public testimony were LGBTQIA-related or themed. Homosexuality is defined as obscene materials under Idaho law. This bill could not only criminalize librarians but could also be a step to later remove inclusive content.
During a search of the Boise and Meridan Public Libraries, Idaho News 6 did not find pornographic or sexually explicit content in the children or teen section.
Library officials strongly encourage parents to be active participants in what their children are checking out to ensure that they are finding age-appropriate materials. If you believe something is in the wrong section or should be reconsidered or pulled from a library's collection, speak with your librarian.

‘McKinseygate’ dogs Macron’s reelection campaign
Press play to take heed to this text
PARIS — Opponents of French President Emmanuel Macron have provide you with a ruse to rile him over the ultimate stretch of what he hopes shall be his reelection marketing campaign: For each concept he proposes, ask if it comes from McKinsey.
The authorities’s use of consultancies throughout Macron’s presidency has change into a thorn in his marketing campaign, to the purpose that two ministers took to the stage on Wednesday to attempt to protect Macron from a rising controversy simply days forward of the first-round of the presidential election.
“We have nothing to hide,” mentioned Minister of Public Transformation and Service Amélie de Montchalin at a press convention, alongside Budget Minister Olivier Dussopt, who mentioned the talk about the usage of consultancies had change into the item of “political exploitation” and “crude manipulation.”
Both have been referring to a nationwide debate sparked by a parliamentary report printed by opposition lawmakers earlier this month on the identical day that Macron offered his political platform – and a yr after POLITICO first reported that the federal government employed main consultancy agency McKinsey to assist with its coronavirus vaccine rollout, elevating questions in regards to the general use of consultancies.
After a four-month investigation, senators discovered that Macron’s authorities and French public administrations have signed contracts price at the least €2.4 billion with consultancy companies since 2018 to work on topics starting from pension reform to digital transformation, and that the usage of consultancies has jumped throughout his five-year time period.
Lawmakers additionally mentioned that McKinsey didn’t pay company tax in France for at the least 10 years — an accusation the agency denies.
As the refrain of criticism has grown louder the hashtag #McKinseyGate has unfold on social media, Macron and his ministers have needed to react.
The president mentioned Sunday that public procurement guidelines had been revered. Critics make it sound like “there are shady deals, but that’s not the case,” he mentioned. He challenged his opponents to “got to court,” if there was “evidence of manipulation [of the rules].” His tetchy response recalled his response throughout a earlier disaster involving a former safety aide when Macron he had challenged his detractors to “come for him” in the event that they dared.
This response was broadly interpreted as too defensive, even amongst Macron’s supporters who concern the McKinsey affair is probably going right here to remain, particularly in a rustic that prides itself on the excellence of its public companies and has an extended custom of skepticism towards any non-public sector intervention in state affairs — much more so when it comes from an American firm.
The authorities mentioned it had spent €893 million in 2021 on consultancies, and justified the determine due to the pandemic disaster. It additionally mentioned that France lagged behind many different European international locations in terms of utilizing consultancies, however nonetheless mentioned it could implement new measures for a extra “reasonable and moderate” relation with such firms.
It additionally mentioned an investigation was being led to make sure McKinsey paid the correct quantity of taxes in France, and denied any collusion between its consultants and Macron’s celebration.
But opponents are nonetheless utilizing the affair to gas an anti-Macron agenda forward of the April 10 first-round vote within the presidential election, whereas conspiracy theories have additionally emerged about McKinsey’s affect.
Amid rising concern about the price of residing, significantly due to the struggle in Ukraine and its affect on power costs, Macron has been attacked by each the far proper and the unconventional left.
“With Emmanuel Macron, McKinsey, which cost you €1 billion last year for very vague missions, will continue to gorge itself on public money, not pay taxes and lie to the Senate!” National Rally candidate Marine Le Pen tweeted.
Xavier Bertrand, a outstanding conservative chief who helps presidential candidate Valérie Pécresse, said the usage of consultancies throughout Macron’s tenure was a “state scandal,” and will name for judiciary inquiries — regardless of figures exhibiting an vital degree of outsourcing to consultancies throughout former conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy’s mandate, when each Bertrand and Pécresse have been ministers.
Far-right candidate Eric Zemmour prompt the contracts with McKinsey have been a results of the excessive variety of consultants who labored for Macron’s earlier presidential marketing campaign.
Macron’s camp fears the controversy could revive the picture of Macron as a president of the wealthy. This cliché, which performs on the president’s previous as a former Rothschild banker, change into an epitome of all the things that the Yellow Jacket motion fought in opposition to.
A authorities adviser who spoke on the situation of anonymity mentioned Macron had struggled to reply due to the disaster in Ukraine, however added that the McKinsey controversy was taken significantly.

HAVERHILL (CBS) – A Haverhill High School student was arrested on Thursday following a fight during lunch. The fight happened between two students around 11:30 a.m.
No one was hurt, but one of the students was removed from school by police. Students told WBZ-TV a knife dropped to the ground during the fight between two girls.
“They started getting into it and then midway there was a big circle,” one student said.
“Everyone was crowded around them and you couldn’t really see anything but it was two girls fighting,” another student said.
School staff jostled around and police came rushing in.
One female student was arrested before the school went into a hold-in-place protocol, not quite a lock down, but students were kept in classrooms, with limited hall access.
Parents like Gina Ortiz were notified at home. “Instant shock,” Ortiz said. “I mean even now I’m shaking just thinking about it. It makes me sad for these kids because it’s a great school.”
Haverhill Police said that because the students are juveniles, no additional information is being released.

O'Neill Sea Odyssey Marine Education Program relaunches after pandemic hiatus
The O'Neill Sea Odyssey Marine Education Program is back after a two-year break due to COVID-19.
Classes on the ocean provide children in fourth, fifth and sixth grades an opportunity to learn about the Monterey Bay.
There was big excitement for fourth-graders from Main Street Elementary School in Soquel. They are the first to climb aboard after the O'Neill Sea Odyssey's hiatus.
"This means a lot for us to be able to get back to have students back out on the boat," said Tracey Weiss, O'Neill Sea Odyssey executive director.
After getting over the excitement of watching the ocean through a net located at the bow of the boat, students settled in for ocean classes.
"Now, the National Marine Sanctuary is like a park," Weiss said.
Lessons consist of the impact humans have on the ocean, how to navigate the high seas and marine biology.
The Sea Odyssey was founded back in 1996 by local Santa Cruz County surf icon, Jack O'Neill.
"He wanted to get the kids out and teach them about how important it is to protect the ocean. His famous quote was always, "The ocean is alive and we need to take care of it." Weiss said.
It appeared on Thursday that O'Neill's message is getting through.
"Probably learning about plankton because learning about the food chain, plankton because a lot of science is worked into that and lot of environmental screening in that," said fourth-grader Calvin Davis.
"It's different because we're on the water and we get to learn about the sea like and not just regular classroom things and all the people that were there were really nice and cool," said fourth-grader Avery Diciano.
During the pandemic, the Sea Odyssey program pivoted to online programs which were extremely popular.
"What we've seen in the past two years that so much of the academic loss that students have experienced by coming back out on the water, we're seeing so much excitement ... just to be getting back to normal," Weiss said.
And there's nothing like spotting a sea otter out on the Monterey Bay, rather than on a computer screen.
"The hands-on experience is the best way to go and this is something that the kids will remember for the rest of their lives," said Main Street Elementary School teacher, Katie Shank.

Pak NSC issues demarche over letter
Pakistan’s top security body on Thursday decided to issue a strong demarche to an unnamed country over a “threatening letter”, which Prime Minister Imran Khan has claimed is evidence of a foreign conspiracy to oust his government - and expressed concern at the undiplomatic communication and “interference” in the country’s internal affairs.
PM Khan chaired the 37th meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) at Prime Minister’s House to discuss a controversial letter sent by the Pakistan ambassador in that country, which according to PM Khan threatened to remove him from office. He claimed that it had been sent to the ministry of foreign affairs.

The meeting was attended by federal ministers of defence, energy, information and broadcasting, interior, finance, human rights, planning, development and special initiatives, chairman joint chiefs of staff committee, services chiefs, national security adviser and senior officers.
“The committee expressed grave concern at the communication, terming the language used by the foreign official as undiplomatic,” according to the statement. “The committee concluded that the communication amounted to blatant interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan by the country in question, which was unacceptable under any circumstances.”
The NSC decided that the protest should be launched with that country. It did not name the country.

“The committee decided that Pakistan will issue a strong demarche to the country in question both in Islamabad and in the country’s capital through proper channel in keeping with diplomatic norms,” according to the statement.
The participants also endorsed the cabinet’s decision in the special cabinet meeting held on March 30 to take the parliament into confidence through an in-camera briefing of the National Security Committee of the Parliament.
The meeting comes a day after Khan shared some content of a letter - purportedly showing evidence of a foreign conspiracy to oust his government - with his cabinet members and a selected group of journalists. Several opposition leaders had asked Khan to divulge the details of the letter.

Besieged by the opposition and abandoned by coalition partners, Khan faces the greatest challenge so far in his political career. The opposition accuses him of economic mismanagement and claims he is unfit for the role of prime minister.
In recent days, Khan has turned to conspiracy theories to explain the challenge to his rule and has gone on national television to claim the opposition is in cahoots with a foreign government — a reference to the United States — to unseat him.
Khan’s often-stated opposition to Washington’s so-called ‘war in terror” as well as the US-led invasion of Afghanistan has brought him popularity at home.
He has tried to reach out to Afghanistan’s new Taliban rulers, fostered close ties to China and Russia and abstained from the UN Security Council vote condemning Russian for invading Ukraine.
Madiha Afzal, a fellow at the Washington-based Brookings Institution blamed Khan’s political woes on his confrontational style and a cooling of relations between him and the powerful military, widely reported to have assisted Khan’s election victory in 2018.
Pakistan’s army has been the country’s de facto ruler more than half of its 75-year history — even when governments are democratically elected, the military maintains considerable control from behind the scenes, despite their claims of neutrality.

‘Disruptive’: S.C. Department of Mental Health opposing bill they foresee impeding it’s mental health services
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - The S.C. Department of Mental Health is pushing back against a senate bill that aims to split up the department of health and environmental control.
They say it will bring unnecessary disruptions when it comes to responding to mental health emergencies.
The department of mental health has 16 community-based outpatient mental health centers, with its clinics serving all 46 counties in the state.
Their services include 24/7 mobile crisis response for families.
The department has always been a separate agency from DHEC altogether.
But that could change if Senate Bill 2 makes its way to the governor’s desk.
S.2 was introduced as a way for lawmakers to alleviate some of the demands on the DHEC.
If S.2 passes, DHEC will be dissolved and restructured into two agencies: The Department of Environmental Services and the Department of Behavioral and Public Health.
The bill proposes the new behavioral and public health agency oversees three different divisions:
- the Division of Public Health
- the Division of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services
- the Division of Mental Health
This means the passing of S.2 will put the department of mental health under the umbrella of DHEC’s new Behavioral and Pubic Health agency.
This has some workers raising major concerns.
Deborah Heller serves as the vice-chair of the board for the Waccamaw Center for Mental Health.
The director of mental health oversees the center.
Heller says their organization has no problem with lawmakers wanting to re-organize DHEC.
But she says the department of mental health doesn’t need to be a part of it.
“By re-organizing mental health at this time when the demand is great in our whole country and when awareness is growing every day, is going to be very disruptive to the department. It’s going to take the focus away from the staff who have already been under a tremendous amount of pressure to meet [patients] needs.”
Heller says the mental health department has been servicing nearly 100,000 patients every year, stating it makes no sense to disrupt a ship now that isn’t sinking.
“If it ain’t broke, why fix it,” Heller said. “There will be more layers to go through. I think the services will be diluted. I think the resources will be diluted because they’ll be spread out more between three divisions under another separate organization. The department of mental health is working really well, meeting the needs of their communities. To go in there and reorganize that and try to fix it when it’s really not broken, doesn’t seem to be practical.”
Heller references the ‘SHaPE South Carolina Task Force’ which was set up by DHEC, stating it looked at ways to best deliver public health and environmental services to South Carolinians.
“They didn’t even recommend the department of mental health be re-organized,” Heller said. “The other thing to look at, there were no fiscal and functional impact studies done. So we don’t even know what this is going to cost.”
WMBF News reached out to DHEC about the mental health department’s concerns. DHEC’s Director, Dr. Edward Simmer, provided the following statement to our news team:
“DHEC is charged with implementing the laws as they are passed by our state legislature and as they relate to the agency. We have a strong management team that will work collaboratively with DMH and DAODAS as appropriate and our other state agencies and private partners to implement any changes to the structure of health and environmental protection in South Carolina that are approved by the Legislature. Working together, our teams will implement these changes in a way that enhances the services our agencies provide and ultimately improves the health of every South Carolinian as well as the environment in which they live.”
S.2 has already passed in the Senate and is currently making its way through the house.
The department of mental health is calling on legislators to make a recommendation that will remove their organization from the bill altogether.
WMBF News is waiting to hear back from house lawmakers about whether they’re taking the department of mental health’s request under consideration.

MIAMI (AP) — A Florida police officer fatally shot a man who was able to arm himself after being arrested Thursday, officials said.
The shooting occurred shortly before noon at a western Miami-Dade home, according to a police news release.
Miami-Dade police officers had been assisting Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Marshals Service when they took a 53-year-old man into custody, police said. The man complained of feeling ill, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to evaluate him. During the evaluation, the man somehow armed himself, and shots were fired, officials said.
The man died at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
The shooting is being investigated by state police officials.
Police didn't immediately release the names or races of the dead man or the officer who shot him.

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

Prosecutor seeks end to Khashoggi murder trial in Turkey, requests transfer to Saudi Arabia
The Turkish prosecutor in the case against 26 Saudi nationals charged in the slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi made a surprise request Thursday that their trial in absentia be suspended and the case transferred to Saudi Arabia, raising fears of a possible coverup.
The panel of judges made no ruling on the prosecutor’s request but said a letter would be sent to Turkey’s Justice Ministry seeking its opinion on the possible transfer of the file to Saudi judicial authorities, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. The trial was adjourned until April 7.
The development comes as Turkey has been trying to normalize its relationship with Saudi Arabia, which hit an all-time low following Khashoggi’s grisly October 2018 killing. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview on Thursday that Saudi authorities were more cooperative on judicial issues with Turkey, but did not elaborate.
In arguing for the transfer, the prosecutor told the court that the Saudi chief public prosecutor’s office requested the Turkish proceedings be transferred to the kingdom in a letter dated March 13, and that international warrants issued by Ankara against the defendants be lifted, according to the private DHA news agency.
The prosecutor said that because the arrest warrants cannot be executed and defense statements cannot be taken, the case would remain inconclusive in Turkey.
Amnesty International urged Turkey to press ahead with the trial, saying if it is transferred to Saudi Arabia, Turkey will be “knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up.”
Moving Khashoggi’s trial to Saudi Arabia would provide a diplomatic resolution to a dispute that represented the wider troubles between Ankara and the kingdom since the 2011 Arab Spring.
Turkey under Erdogan supported Islamists as the uprisings took hold, while Saudi Arabia and its ally the United Arab Emirates sought to suppress such movements for fear of facing challenges to their autocratic governments. Meanwhile, Turkey sided with Qatar in a diplomatic dispute that saw Doha boycotted by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Since then-President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, the Gulf Arab states have set aside — but not fully resolved — the Qatar dispute. Meanwhile, Turkey under Erdogan has faced a rapid devaluation of its lira currency over his refusal to hike interest rates. Bilateral trade to the kingdom and the UAE, a major transshipment point for the world economy, also collapsed.
Since the start of 2022, Erdogan has sought to improve those ties, including making his first visit to the UAE in nearly a decade. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, after fighting through the coronavirus pandemic’s economic effects, facing a grinding war in Yemen and struggling with renewed tensions with Iran, also want to resolve the outstanding feud.
Khashoggi disappeared on Oct. 2, 2018, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, seeking documents that would allow him to marry Hatice Cengiz, a Turkish national who was waiting outside the building. He never emerged.
Turkish officials allege that the Saudi national, who was a United States resident, was killed and then dismembered with a bone saw inside the consulate. His body has not been found. Prior to his killing, Khashoggi had written critically of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince in columns for the Washington Post.
Turkish authorities said he was killed by a team of Saudi agents. Those on trial in absentia include two former aides of the prince.
Saudi officials initially offered conflicting accounts concerning the killing, including claims that Khashoggi had left the consulate building unharmed. But amid mounting international pressure, they stated that Khashoggi’s death was a tragic accident, with the meeting unexpectedly turning violent.
Turkey decided to try the defendants in absentia after Saudi Arabia rejected Turkish demands for their extradition.
The slaying had sparked international condemnation and cast a cloud of suspicion over Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Western intelligence agencies, as well as the U.S. Congress, have said that an operation of this magnitude could not have happened without his knowledge.
In urging Turkey to proceed with the trial, Amnesty International said Ankara would be complicit in a coverup if it grants the Saudi request for a transfer.
“If the prosecutor’s request is granted, then instead of prosecuting and shedding light on a murder that was committed on its territory ... Turkey will be knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up,” said Tarik Beyhan, Amnesty’s campaign director for Turkey.
Beyhan said he didn’t want to “think about the possibility” that the prosecutor’s request may be related to the improving ties between Riyadh and Ankara.
“Basic human rights ... should not be made the subject of political negotiations,” he said. “A murder cannot be covered up to fix relations.”
Some of the men were put on trial in Riyadh behind closed doors. A Saudi court issued a final verdict in 2020 that sentenced five mid-level officials and operatives to 20-year jail terms. The court had originally ordered the death penalty, but reduced the punishment after Khashoggi’s son Salah, who lives in Saudi Arabia, announced that he forgave the defendants. Three others were sentenced to lesser jail terms.
On Thursday, Khashoggi's fiancee, Cengiz, appeared to criticize the prosecutor’s request in a tweet in English. “It is an exemplary situation in terms of showing the dilemma facing humanity in the modern era,” she wrote. “Which of the two will we choose? To want to live like a virtuous human being or to build a life by holding material interests above all kinds of values.”
She did not respond to a request for comment.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A driver who engaged Buffalo police in a lengthy gunfight, striking and injuring three officers during a haphazard chase that spanned the city, pleaded not guilty Thursday to attempted murder.
Kente Bell, 28, was arraigned from his hospital room, where he is recovering from several gunshot wounds sustained during Tuesday’s chase and a final hail of gunfire as it ended in front of a police station at a Buffalo intersection.
Bell was shot in his neck, arm, leg and hand and underwent surgery at Erie County Medical Center, where he appeared before a judge after regaining consciousness, said Erie County District Attorney John Flynn, who offered dramatic new details of the events.
“You have a high-speed chase… you’ve got a guy firing out the driver’s side window. You’ve got blockades, you’ve got speed on highways, a girl jumping out of the car,” he said at a news conference.
Bell is accused of fleeing two police officers who approached his parked vehicle after noticing its tinted windows around 6 p.m. Tuesday, Flynn said. He cooperated at first but did not get out of the car because he was partially paralyzed in a 2012 shooting and uses medical equipment to walk, the prosecutor said.
When it appeared there was an issue with his registration, Bell drove off. Armed with an illegal handgun with an extended magazine of ammunition, he fired on police as they pursued him through city neighborhoods and on highways for more than 20 minutes, Flynn said.
Early in the chase, before shots were fired, the passenger exited the moving vehicle.
“He was making a turn and had slowed down at some point. She opened the front passenger door and jumped out of the car while it was moving and ended up rolling on the ground and hit up against a pole of some kind,” he said, “like right out of a movie.”
“She was obviously freaking out probably, to say the least, and wanted to have nothing to do with this,” Flynn said.
In the minutes that followed, Bell drove through a police barricade, entered and exited highways and drove wildly through several Buffalo neighborhoods, briefly entering the suburb of Cheektowaga, before turning back toward Buffalo with police officers radioing his route to each other and warning of the danger.
“They’re still shooting. Multiple officers hit!” an officer is heard shouting in a transmission captured by Broadcastify.com.
Three police officers were struck in separate vehicles. All are recovering.
By the time it was over, nine police vehicles were damaged by gunfire, Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said.
Investigators have yet to determine how many shots were fired by Bell, or how many officers fired their weapons, Flynn said.
Bell is due to appear before a county judge at the hospital Friday for an alleged probation violation related to a 2020 illegal firearms charge in the town of Amherst. While on probation, he was prohibited from carrying a weapon.
The attorney who represented Bell at Thursday’s arraignment did not return a call seeking comment on his behalf.

Maxwell juror testifies he made a mistake when filling out questionnaire
A juror in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, who failed to disclose that he was sexually abused as a child, told a judge on Tuesday he made a mistake when he filled out his jury questionnaire form.
The man, known as Juror 50, told Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan that he skimmed through the pretrial screening questionnaire that asked potential jurors whether they had ever been sexually abused and had checked a box indicating “no” mistakenly, according to The New York Times.
“This was one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made in my life,” the man told Nathan. “I didn’t lie in order to get on this jury.”
Maxwell was convicted in December on five out of six counts against her, including enticing minors to travel to engage in sex acts, transporting minors with the intent of having them engage in criminal sexual activity and perjury.
Juror 50 told Reuters in an interview that several jurors had issues with the victims’ faulty memories, so he shared his personal experience of being abused during deliberations.
“When I shared that, they were able to sort of come around on, they were able to come around on the memory aspect of the sexual abuse,” he said.
He told the judge that his former stepbrother and his friend had abused him when he was a child and that he told his mother about it when he was in high school. The police were called but no charges were brought, he said, according to The Times.
Juror 50 agreed to testify only after he was granted immunity from prosecution by the judge after his lawyer said he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself at the hearing, CNN reported.
The testimony from the victims was critical, as it established a pattern of abuse by Maxwell.
However, the juror’s comments to news outlets about his failure to disclose he had been sexually abused as a child have led to Maxwell’s lawyers to demand the verdict be thrown out.
Juror 50 was questioned for an hour by Nathan, who did not say when she would rule on the request by Maxwell’s lawyers to call for a mistrial.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Ohio takes high tech approach to solving violent crimes
Ohio is taking a high tech approach to getting violent criminals off the streets.
Thursday afternoon, Gov. Mike DeWine joined Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Ohio State Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. Richard Fambro to announce a joint initiative that will give local law enforcement officers increased access to technology to help them identify criminals responsible for deadly shootings and other incidents of gun violence in the state.
As part of the new Ohio Ballistics Testing Initiative, the Ohio Department of Public Safety's Office of Criminal Justice Services will award a total of $10.5 million to the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) to increase the number of National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) units in Ohio from seven to 16.
The joint initiative will provide more opportunities for law enforcement to submit firearm evidence for scientific analysis, while simultaneously decreasing turnaround time on testing results.
"We must do more to hold accountable the small number of dangerous criminals who are responsible for most of the gun violence in our state— the convicted felons who have lost their right to possess firearms, yet they continue to carry and use guns to hurt and kill people," DeWine said. "By more than doubling the number of NIBIN units in Ohio, we'll give our local law enforcement partners easier access to this crime-solving technology to help develop investigative leads that result in arrests."
Firearm forensic scientists use NIBIN to analyze microscopic markings on bullets and shell casings associated with criminal investigations and compare them to firearm evidence connected to other crimes. A match indicates that the same firearm may have been used in multiple shootings, and law enforcement can use this information as an investigative lead.
"Every bad guy's gun tells a story – and that story leads back to the bad guy. But it takes science and data and technology to be able to read that story," Yost said. "Today's initiative means more bad guys in prison, where they belong, and fewer guns where they don't."
In the last 18 months in Ohio, DeWine said more than 1000 people have been injured in shootings and another 650 were killed.
He said shell casings are often recovered from crime scenes and never tested or even entered into the database.
By making the NIBIN technology readily available at no cost to local departments, the hope is more crimes can be solved.
"As a result of this, current shooting cases will be solved faster, future shootings will be prevented and lives will be saved," DeWine said.

Pak NSC issues demarche over letter
Pakistan’s top security body on Thursday decided to issue a strong demarche to an unnamed country over a “threatening letter”, which Prime Minister Imran Khan has claimed is evidence of a foreign conspiracy to oust his government - and expressed concern at the undiplomatic communication and “interference” in the country’s internal affairs.
PM Khan chaired the 37th meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) at Prime Minister’s House to discuss a controversial letter sent by the Pakistan ambassador in that country, which according to PM Khan threatened to remove him from office. He claimed that it had been sent to the ministry of foreign affairs.

The meeting was attended by federal ministers of defence, energy, information and broadcasting, interior, finance, human rights, planning, development and special initiatives, chairman joint chiefs of staff committee, services chiefs, national security adviser and senior officers.
“The committee expressed grave concern at the communication, terming the language used by the foreign official as undiplomatic,” according to the statement. “The committee concluded that the communication amounted to blatant interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan by the country in question, which was unacceptable under any circumstances.”
The NSC decided that the protest should be launched with that country. It did not name the country.

“The committee decided that Pakistan will issue a strong demarche to the country in question both in Islamabad and in the country’s capital through proper channel in keeping with diplomatic norms,” according to the statement.
The participants also endorsed the cabinet’s decision in the special cabinet meeting held on March 30 to take the parliament into confidence through an in-camera briefing of the National Security Committee of the Parliament.
The meeting comes a day after Khan shared some content of a letter - purportedly showing evidence of a foreign conspiracy to oust his government - with his cabinet members and a selected group of journalists. Several opposition leaders had asked Khan to divulge the details of the letter.

Besieged by the opposition and abandoned by coalition partners, Khan faces the greatest challenge so far in his political career. The opposition accuses him of economic mismanagement and claims he is unfit for the role of prime minister.
In recent days, Khan has turned to conspiracy theories to explain the challenge to his rule and has gone on national television to claim the opposition is in cahoots with a foreign government — a reference to the United States — to unseat him.
Khan’s often-stated opposition to Washington’s so-called ‘war in terror” as well as the US-led invasion of Afghanistan has brought him popularity at home.
He has tried to reach out to Afghanistan’s new Taliban rulers, fostered close ties to China and Russia and abstained from the UN Security Council vote condemning Russian for invading Ukraine.
Madiha Afzal, a fellow at the Washington-based Brookings Institution blamed Khan’s political woes on his confrontational style and a cooling of relations between him and the powerful military, widely reported to have assisted Khan’s election victory in 2018.
Pakistan’s army has been the country’s de facto ruler more than half of its 75-year history — even when governments are democratically elected, the military maintains considerable control from behind the scenes, despite their claims of neutrality.

Mr. Sub owner on closing Myrtle Beach shop after 43 years: ‘It’s been our family’s dream’
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - It’s been a family-owned staple in downtown Myrtle Beach for nearly 45 years.
Mr. Sub officially closed Thursday after serving up sub-style sandwiches to locals and vacationers since 1979.
On Thursday afternoon, WMBF News swung by the iconic sandwich shop for its last day of business where dozens of people lined up for one last bite.
“It’s been our family’s dream and destination for 43 years,” said the owner of Mr. Sub, Ken Conley.
It’s hard to miss the iconic yellow roof and Mr. Sub’s sign lit up like a show theater on Broadway, which is kind of fitting since they’re located off Broadway in downtown Myrtle Beach.
Inside it’s as if time has stood still since opening day -- 43 years ago.
From the 80′s style wood paneling on the walls to the paper tickets with each customers’ order.
“I’ve lived on the beach for 25 years and this has been a staple for lunch,” said Michelle Chidester.
“When you walk into this place it’s family-oriented,” said Alicia Wilcox.
Since word got out of its closing, customers have been showing up in record numbers to enjoy their last Mr. Sub sandwich and wish the Conley’s well in their retirement and future.
“To stay open for 43 years throughout the summer and winter it’s been incredible. It just shows you it’s the home crowd that makes it worth it,” said Conley.
Ken and Tommy Conley said it’s the people of Myrtle Beach who made them known as “The Best on the Beach” and took true pride in making each and every sandwich.
Ken said it’s not always easy being a family-owned business, but there’s just something special about each one.
“A store that is local is a little more fun and the food probably tastes better too,” said Ken Conley.
So many wanted one last sandwich from Mr. Sub, they had to stop taking orders around 1 p.m., but the few that did get to enjoy one last bite know it was well worth the wait.
“I just really appreciate them being here it’s been good times and good memory,” said Chidester.
As for the future of this iconic Myrtle Beach sandwich shop.
“We’d like to sell the whole thing and see another family come in and do business for another 43 years,” said Ken Conley.
The city also held a celebration for Mr. Sub as they served the final order, thanking them for all their years of service in Myrtle Beach.

(KTLA) – The IRS on Wednesday reminded tax filers to claim any missing third-round stimulus payment on their 2021 income tax return.
The tax season gives eligible people who never got the $1,400 payment the chance to claim it.
Since the IRS is no longer issuing the Economic Impact Payments, people who are missing a stimulus payment, or got less than the amount they’re eligible for, will have to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2020 or 2021 federal tax returns, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
Most eligible people have already received their stimulus payments and won’t need to include anything about the payment when they file their 2021 tax return.
The IRS says it has issued more than 175 million third-round payments worth more than $400 billion to people across the country. Most of those payments were sent out in the spring and early summer of 2021.
Still, there are many who haven’t gotten their payments.
Authorities have identified 644,705 potentially eligible people who had not received payments totaling $1.6 billion, according to a report issued last week by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
What to do if you never received the third payment
The IRS encourages residents to double check their bank accounts first to make sure they never got the third payment, especially in early spring and summer of 2021.
People can also access their IRS Online Account to view the total amount of the third-round Economic Impact Payment issued to them. For married couples filing jointly, each person will need to log into their own online account.
Once people confirm they never got the payment, and their IRS online accounts show a payment amount greater than $0, or if they got a Notice 1444-C or Letter 6475, they should contact the IRS as soon as possible to see if a payment trace is needed.
But they do not need to wait until their trace is complete to file their 2021 tax return, officials said.
When completing the Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet, taxpayers have two options: either use the amount on the Letter 6475 (or EIP 3 amount from the online account) to calculate the recovery rebate credit amount on line 30, or use the amount of stimulus payment the taxpayer believes they received to calculate the rebate credit amount on line 30. (Details on that can be found here.)
Those who contact the IRS to trace the stimulus payment amount will receive notification of the results. If it is found that the taxpayer didn’t get the money, the IRS will adjust the recovery rebate credit amount on the tax return and issue any refund.
If people make a mistake calculating the recovery rebate credit and claim an amount on line 30 for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, the IRS will have to correct the amount and send a notice about the changes made. If that happens, there may be a delay in processing the return, officials said.
What if I already filed my taxes?
An amended return may be needed to claim the credit if IRS records show no payment was issued.
For eligible people who didn’t claim a recovery rebate credit on their 2021 tax return (so line 30 is blank or $0), they will need to file a Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return to claim the remaining amount of stimulus money — if IRS records don’t show that they were issued a payment.
This includes people who think they didn’t get the full amount of their third-round Economic Impact Payment because their circumstances in 2021 were different than they were in 2020.
People trying to figure out if they should amend their original tax return can use this online tool.
More details on claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit can be found here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military needs to adjust its planning, training, targeting and use of weapons in order to better avoid widespread civilian deaths and damage such as the devastating 2017 battle to liberate the Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State militants, a new RAND report said Thursday.
The report requested by the Pentagon reflects criticism of the military's airstrike campaign that, according to some estimates, killed more than 1,600 civilians in Raqqa, as the U.S.-led coalition worked to destroy the Islamic State caliphate that wrested control of large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said the report, which lays out a series of recommendations to improve military procedures and strategy, will be used as the department develops its own broader plan to reduce civlian harm.
“No other military works as hard as we do to mitigate civilian harm, and yet we still cause it,” said Kirby. ”We're going to continue to try to learn from past issues.”
RAND concluded that the battle for Raqqa provided important lessons.
Michael McNerney, lead author of the RAND report, called Raqqa “a cautionary tale about civilian harm in urban combat.” He said it "should serve as an extra incentive to the DoD to strengthen its policies and procedures to mitigate, document and respond to civilian harm.”
The RAND report noted that there has been a wide range of estimated civilian casualties during the seige, but also said it believes that 60%-80% of Raqqa was left uninhabitable by the time the city was liberated in October 2017.
Initially the U.S.-led coalition estimted that it was responsible for 38 incidents involving 240 civilian casualties — including 178 who were killed. A consortium of local Syrian and international groups, including Amnesty International and Airwars, put the number of casualties at a “high estimate” of 1,600, but said that about 774 of them could specifically be “verified” by data as the result of coalition action.
The report makes it clear that several thousand more civilians likely died, based on the number of bodies uncovered by U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, but many were probably killed by IS or other fighters on the ground.
“Our report focuses on U.S. actions in Raqqa, but the actions of the Syrian government and its Russian and Iranian partners undoubtedly contributed far more to civilian harm and suffering in Syria overall,” McNerney said.
The report noted that the challenges in Raqqa were compounded by limits on the number U.S. troops that could be there, as well as where they could be positioned. U.S. troops on the ground could have provided better targeting and civilian information, including on Islamic State militants' efforts to use civilians as human shields, the report said.
RAND recommended that the U.S. military provide more extensive training and guidance on the need to avoid civilian harm, and plan and execute operations in ways to achieve those goals. Changes could include improved planning, better assessments of potential collateral damage, increased mission rehearsals, improved intelligence gathering, and more selective use of air strikes and munitions that minimize bomb fragmentation.

MIAMI (AP) — A Florida police officer fatally shot a man who was able to arm himself after being arrested Thursday, officials said.
The shooting occurred shortly before noon at a western Miami-Dade home, according to a police news release.
Miami-Dade police officers had been assisting Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Marshals Service when they took a 53-year-old man into custody, police said. The man complained of feeling ill, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to evaluate him. During the evaluation, the man somehow armed himself, and shots were fired, officials said.
The man died at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
The shooting is being investigated by state police officials.
Police didn’t immediately release the names or races of the dead man or the officer who shot him.

Daily international departures from the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) here has risen to 25, up from 10 flights before normalisation.
The airport has reinstated more than 90% of the routes that were in operation before the pandemic disruption.
With the gradual increase in international operations, KIA’s route network is expected to further augment with the resumption of routes and additional flights to cater to the demand, according to the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL).
Currently, KIA is connected to 21 international destinations in 17 countries operating through 24 airlines. The airport will add newer routes later this year to Seattle (American Airlines) and strengthen its existing route to San Francisco (Air India). United Airlines is set to launch weekly flights in October, connecting tech hubs Bengaluru and San Francisco.
To address the expected increase in passenger traffic and make the airport experience more seamless, BIAL has deployed automation-enabled technology at various checkpoints such as terminal entry, check-in, security check, immigration, and customs.
The existing technology such as self-baggage drops, smart security lane with automated tray retrieval system, along with other contactless technology are expected to further improve the overall airport experience.
Air travel recovery is expected to be faster following the resumption of international operations. While passenger traffic recovery in the Calendar Year (CY) 2021 was only 19% (vs pre-Covid CY 2019) due to travel restrictions and cross-border entry, it is expected to grow steadily in the coming months, driven by the strong high-yielding leisure and business travel demand from Bengaluru.
Pre-Covid, KIA was connected to 25 international destinations, with an average of 40 international departures each day. Despite the subdued pandemic environment in 2020 and 2021, KIA had Air India launch a bi-weekly, non-stop Bengaluru-San Francisco flight. KIA became the first airport in South and Central India to have non-stop connectivity to North America.
United Airlines and American Airlines announced flight operations to KIA despite the pandemic. The flights are expected to start later this year. The frequency of Japan Airlines flights to Tokyo Narita is likely to be progressively increased.
The domestic passenger traffic has recovered more than 80% compared to pre-Covid levels, accelerating during the first three weeks of March this year. The domestic Air Traffic Movement (ATM) recovery has been close to 90% of pre-Covid levels and is expected to grow further in the coming weeks, BIAL said.

Mohamed Salah Hints At Retirement From Egypt After 2022 FIFA World Cup Disappointment | Football News
Mohamed Salah after the Senegal match.© AFP
Mohamed Salah has stirred doubts about his future with the Egyptian nationwide workforce following their failure to qualify for the World Cup. In feedback to his workforce in a video printed by Egypt’s ministry of youth and sports activities, the Liverpool ahead stated how proud he was of the workforce, “whether I’m here or not”. The Pharoahs misplaced to Senegal in a penalty shootout on Tuesday. The video exhibits Salah addressing his teammates within the locker room after their grueling defeat, saying: “I told the players yesterday (before the match) that I am proud to have played with them, and that they’re among the best I have played with.”
“There isn’t much to say, but it has been an honour to play with you, whether or not I’m here.”
Salah’s feedback are being interpreted as a sign he could also be able to retire from worldwide soccer.
The 29-year-old began his profession with the Egyptian nationwide workforce in 2011.
One of his crowning achievements was scoring a last-moment purpose within the 2017 World Cup qualifiers towards Congo, sending Egypt to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Promoted
On Tuesday, Salah uncharacteristically blazed a penalty over the crossbar within the shootout with Senegal.
It is the second time in two months that the Pharoahs have misplaced out to Senegal after the Lions of Teranga beat them within the Africa Cup of Nations last in February, in a match that additionally resulted in a penalty shootout.

Appeals court restores lawsuits seeking coronavirus tuition refunds
A federal appeals court has restored two lawsuits against The George Washington University and American University that are requesting tuition refunds after the schools transitioned to virtual instruction amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
A parent of a student filed a class action lawsuit against The George Washington University in May 2020 after the school transitioned classes from in-person to online amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The plaintiff argued that he should be reimbursed for tuition, room and board and other expenses because the shift to virtual learning disrupted his daughter’s education, according to The Washington Post.
Plaintiffs made similar accusations in a separate lawsuit filed against American University.
A lower court previously dismissed the two suits, rejecting claims that the schools breached “express” contractual agreements when they shifted instruction from in-person to online without offering refunds, according to the Post.
On Tuesday, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 on Tuesday that the legal actions can move forward. The court wrote in an opinion that the plaintiffs “plausibly allege that the Universities breached implied-in-fact contracts for in-person education,” referring to an implied commitment to providing in-person learning.
“Plaintiffs’ factual allegations, combined with the reasonable inferences drawn from them, suffice to support their claims that the Universities promised to provide in-person instruction in exchange for Plaintiffs’ tuition payments,” the opinion reads.
The appeals court, however, wrote that “the Universities will likely have compelling arguments to offer that the pandemic and resulting government shutdown orders discharged their duties to perform these alleged promises.”
“However, because the Universities have not raised any such defense before this court, we leave the issue to the District Courts to resolve in the first instance,” the court added.
A spokesperson for The George Washington University told The Hill in a statement on Tuesday that while the school is “disappointed with the Court’s decision,” it is looking forward to “defending the case on its merits.”
“The university’s top priority is the health and safety of our community. GW heeded the recommendations of public health experts and complied with District of Columbia orders by moving to remote instruction in the Spring 2020 semester in the face of the pandemic,” the spokesperson added in a statement. “We are thankful to our faculty, who worked hard to provide our students with a quality academic experience by distance, and to our staff for providing mechanisms for students to meaningfully engage with each other.”
A spokesperson for American University told The Hill on Tuesday that it is “reviewing the ruling and will continue to defend our position.”
Daniel Kurowski, a lawyer representing the families in the lawsuit against The George Washington University, told The Hill in a statement on Wednesday that the appeals court’s decision “confirms our position that the bargain between universities, students and their families in exchange for tens of thousands of tuition and fee charges each semester is more than just a bargain for credits and nothing more.”
“We are pleased with the opinion. The D.C. Circuit correctly reversed the lower courts’ dismissal and agree with the panel’s conclusion that the lower courts erred in dismissing breach-of-contract claims and implied promise to provide on-campus services, activities and in-person education in exchange for tuition and fee payments,” Kurowski added.
Roy T. Willey IV, the attorney representing the plaintiffs in the American University lawsuit, told The Hill in a statement on Wednesday that he and his clients are “very pleased” with the appeals court’s decision.
“On behalf of the students we are very pleased that the first US Court of Appeals to weigh in one these issues around the country came down on the side of fairness and the students with a correct interpretation of the law,” Willey said. “From the start the students have only asked for a fair, prorated refund for the portion of the Spring 2020 semester where they did not get the live in-person education they prepaid for and now they are that much closer to getting it.”
–Updated on March 9 at 3:08 p.m.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

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

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

As has become tradition (since the 1980s), Amnesty International is once again this year drafted and published a report on the situation of human rights in the worldwhich includes the time span from 2021 to the first months of 2022. The novelty of this year’s report is the introduction of in-depth data sheets for many of the countries analyzed, with details about work, violence against women and the pandemic situation. A chapter is also dedicated to the Italian situation, not particularly praised by the organization.
But let’s better analyze the contents of the report on the situation in our country, dividing the topics into macro categories.
COVID
Last July the government had decided to extend the state of emergency until the end of the year to tackle the Coronavirus pandemic. After a few months (September) Draghi had also made the “green pass” mandatory to access public and private workplaces. All this without worrying, once again, of hospital facilities to collapse. Health and social health workers had raised concerns especially for precarious and unsafe working conditions in facilities for the elderly. The government’s response was to subject workers to disciplinary proceedings that Amnesty defines as “unjust”: in fact, employers used layoffs and other intimidating measures to silence them.
PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
By analyzing the episodes of violence against women that have occurred in recent months, Amnesty has highlighted how in Italy these still happen quite frequently. In fact, a total of 102 women were killed (data dating back to the end of 2021) in cases of domestic violence, 70 of which at the hands of a partner or former partner. Although the government approved a bill to prevent violence against women in December, the results still seem insufficient. Amnesty also considers the denial of an abortion a form of violence, access to which is often hindered by the high number of conscientious objectors in Italy.
LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER AND INTERSEXUAL RIGHTS
Even in terms of rights towards the LGBTQI + community, Italy has shown itself far behind. Last October the Senate denied its consent to pass a bill (DDL ZAN) aimed at “combating discrimination and violence based on sex / gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability”.
RIGHTS OF REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS
Also on the migration front, the Italian reception and strategy is making water on all sides. Let’s start with the data: it has been estimated that, at the end of 2021, at least 300,000 migrants were still waiting for the documents necessary to identify them. It means that 300,000 people have not been able to fully enjoy citizens’ rights, remaining at the mercy of abuse. In fact, last May, a grassroots union called a national strike of migrant agricultural workers, “To protest against the inadequacy of the regularization measure”.
However, thousands of migrants continued to be exploited in the workplace, often suffering from racist and xenophobic attacks. In this sense, Italy continues to invest its money badly, allocating it, for example, to repatriation or to the Libyan coast guard (proverbially violent towards migrants). In May, Moussa Balde, a citizen of Guinea, committed suicide while detained in the repatriation detention center of Turin and 32,425 other people were captured at sea by the Libyans. Help offered by individuals or humanitarian organizations is often hindered by justice itself. Like the one that sentenced Mimmo Lucano, former mayor of Riace, in Calabria, to 13 years and two months in prison for having organized a reception system for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants.
VIOLENCE BY LAW FORCES
Furthermore, the risk for those who end up in prison is not to get out alive. Amnesty claims that “concerns about the torture and other ill-treatment of people in prison and in police custody have not ceased.” One of the latest cases dates back to April 2020, when there was a group beating in the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, in Campania, against 177 prisoners (causing the death of one of them). For that episode in September, prosecutors formulated allegations of torture and other ill-treatment against 120 prison guards and senior prison administration officials.

Myrtle Beach business rebuilds months after massive fire
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - Grand Strand businesses are rising from the ashes.
In October of 2021, the Grissom Parkway office plaza was covered in flames. Since then, crews have been rebuilding the plaza.
Most businesses relocated and had the chance to get things back up and running.
Myrtle Beach’s 93.9 Carolina Gold was one of those businesses impacted. The road to recovery was not easy.
“It was probably about three months of hard work,” said Steven Clendenin, who owns the station. “Had to get everything rebuilt again from the ground up because we lost all our equipment. When I bought the station back in May, everything came with the sell-so this was like starting a brand-new station from the ground up.” Clendenin had to scramble and push back on air as a major result from the fire.
Myrtle Beach Fire Department Captain Jonathan Evans said that there are no major updates on the investigation or cause of the fire, but the department is thrilled to see the reconstruction since the area was becoming a hazard.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee man was convicted Thursday in two stabbing deaths outside a Nashville bar in 2019.
Michael Mosley was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths, attempted first-degree murder in the stabbing of another man left blind in one eye and assault of another, The Tennessean reported.
College students Clayton Beathard, 22, and Paul Trapeni III, 21, were killed Dec. 21, 2019, at The Dogwood bar.
Deputy District Attorney Amy Hunter and Assistant District Attorney Jan Norman said Mosley escalated a comment from one of the group’s friends to a fistfight and he was the only one to pull a knife.
Defense lawyer Ken Quillen argued that Mosley was acting in self-defense .
Beathard was the brother of NFL quarterback C.J. Beathard and musician Tucker Beathard, son of country music songwriter Casey Beathard and grandson of NFL Hall of Famer Bobby Beathard.
Trapeni was a student at Rhodes College in Memphis.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military needs to adjust its planning, training, targeting and use of weapons in order to better avoid widespread civilian deaths and damage such as the devastating 2017 battle to liberate the Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State militants, a new RAND report said Thursday.
The report requested by the Pentagon reflects criticism of the military’s airstrike campaign that, according to some estimates, killed more than 1,600 civilians in Raqqa, as the U.S.-led coalition worked to destroy the Islamic State caliphate that wrested control of large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said the report, which lays out a series of recommendations to improve military procedures and strategy, will be used as the department develops its own broader plan to reduce civlian harm.
“No other military works as hard as we do to mitigate civilian harm, and yet we still cause it,” said Kirby. ”We’re going to continue to try to learn from past issues.”
RAND concluded that the battle for Raqqa provided important lessons.
Michael McNerney, lead author of the RAND report, called Raqqa “a cautionary tale about civilian harm in urban combat.” He said it “should serve as an extra incentive to the DoD to strengthen its policies and procedures to mitigate, document and respond to civilian harm.”
The RAND report noted that there has been a wide range of estimated civilian casualties during the seige, but also said it believes that 60%-80% of Raqqa was left uninhabitable by the time the city was liberated in October 2017.
Initially the U.S.-led coalition estimted that it was responsible for 38 incidents involving 240 civilian casualties — including 178 who were killed. A consortium of local Syrian and international groups, including Amnesty International and Airwars, put the number of casualties at a “high estimate” of 1,600, but said that about 774 of them could specifically be “verified” by data as the result of coalition action.
The report makes it clear that several thousand more civilians likely died, based on the number of bodies uncovered by U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, but many were probably killed by IS or other fighters on the ground.
“Our report focuses on U.S. actions in Raqqa, but the actions of the Syrian government and its Russian and Iranian partners undoubtedly contributed far more to civilian harm and suffering in Syria overall,” McNerney said.
The report noted that the challenges in Raqqa were compounded by limits on the number U.S. troops that could be there, as well as where they could be positioned. U.S. troops on the ground could have provided better targeting and civilian information, including on Islamic State militants’ efforts to use civilians as human shields, the report said.
RAND recommended that the U.S. military provide more extensive training and guidance on the need to avoid civilian harm, and plan and execute operations in ways to achieve those goals. Changes could include improved planning, better assessments of potential collateral damage, increased mission rehearsals, improved intelligence gathering, and more selective use of air strikes and munitions that minimize bomb fragmentation.

A plush restobar in southwestern Bengaluru was destroyed in an accidental fire on Thursday, police said. But there were no casualties as the fire broke out in the morning, much before the establishment opens for the day.
The fire at Cosmo Resto Bar, located on Uttarahalli Main Road, RR Nagar, is believed to have originated in the kitchen before spreading to the dining hall and elsewhere. Police suspect it was caused by a short circuit.
According to police, the fire was discovered by an employee when he came to open the doors of the bar around 7.50 am. He was alarmed to see thick smoke inside and informed the bar in-charge, Yadav Mangal Singh.
The employee also alerted his colleagues staying on the fourth floor of the building. The group tried to douse the flames before firefighters arrived at the scene with a water bowser and got to work.
Although the fire had spread to the entire first floor of the building, firefighters acted quickly to prevent it from spreading further.
Fire started in kitchen
A senior officer in the Karnataka State Fire and Emergency Services Department said no casualties had been reported in the incident though furniture, ceiling and electrical wires had been gutted.
The total loss is estimated at Rs 4 lakh. The fire started in the kitchen and then spread to the dining hall, he added.
Speaking to DH, Singh said it was a matter of relief that the fire broke out when the bar hadn’t opened for the day.
“Even our employees were on the fourth floor. They tried to douse the fire but it spread rapidly. So they all evacuated, and firefighters doused the flames,” he explained.

The Open Hearts Foundation Announces the Next Emergency Relief Fund Grants and Celebratory Gala
Jane Seymour volunteers to plant native grasses at Paramount Ranch during a Young Hearts Volunteer Experience in December 2021.
The Board of Directors and Co-Founder, Jane Seymour, invite everyone to join the Open Hearts Movement.
In this fifth and final grant cycle for this Emergency Relief Fund, six charities serving vulnerable women and children across the United States will each receive a $10,000 grant to continue their vital programs. The Open Hearts Foundation’s response to the pandemic began in April of 2020, just weeks after the global health crisis started. The Foundation’s unique approach to both its Young Hearts Volunteerism program and its grantmaking program empowers its charity partners by quickly distributing dollars and volunteer help where they are most needed. These grants will support critical, basic human services for foster children, children with an incarcerated parent, domestic violence victims and survivors, formerly incarcerated women, and families in low-income communities facing job loss, food insecurity, lack of shelter, mental health issues, abuse, and neglect.
At the Foundation’s Celebratory Gala beginning in April, sharing the stories of these lifesaving investments and volunteer experiences will be at the heart of the month-long celebration. Everyone is invited throughout the month to join our cherished donors, business partners, and volunteers who have supported this work over the past two years. On April 2nd, the Foundation will begin with an online auction including donated luxury products and experiences, followed by a Gala on April 30th, with virtual or in-person tickets, at the Malibu estate of Jane Seymour. During the magical twilight hours, virtual guests will be hosted with a very special program, a bird’s eye view of the red carpet arrivals, and a special gift from the Foundation. In-person guests will be treated to an outdoor hosted cocktail reception and hors d'oeuvres, followed by a three-course dinner, live auction, entertainment, and dancing - all while the sun sets on the Pacific Ocean. Delicious wine will be donated by E & J Gallo Winery and hydration will be courtesy of Hallstein Artesian Water. Current sponsors include the Honorable Dave and Julie Gallo Vander Wall, Jane Seymour Designs, Forefront Living, Arlene Inch, Guthy-Renker, Kids Artistic Revue, Tracey Gluck, and Radioactive Pictures.
Tim Mallad, Chair of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, expressed, “The Open Hearts Foundation’s mission compelled our small organization to be nimble and respond to the emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic over these last two years. Inspired by the Open Hearts Philosophy, our Foundation stepped up through our grantmaking and volunteerism programs to help those largely impacted by the uncertainty of the pandemic. I look forward to celebrating at our upcoming Gala and sharing the heartwarming stories of our charity partners, volunteers, and donors who stand shoulder to shoulder with the Foundation in the Open Hearts Movement.”
Jane Seymour, Co-Founder and Board member, stated, “What an incredible experience it has been over the past two years providing grant support to these emerging charities and engaging volunteers around the world to help others during the COVID-19 pandemic. I look forward to celebrating their work at our Gala as well as launching the Foundation’s new initiatives to further inspire and engage people from all over the world in the Open Hearts Movement. Please join us in celebration and accept my deepest gratitude for the support of so many businesses, volunteers, and donors who sustain the Foundation’s work.”
For this grant cycle, the Foundation is pleased to provide a second grant from the Emergency Relief Fund to the following charities:
- A New Way of Life Reentry Project: $10,000 matching grant to continue to support direct needs for formerly incarcerated women and their children living in their eleven safe homes in the Los Angeles, California area.
- CASA El Paso: $10,000 grant to continue to support immediate needs and advocacy for abused and neglected children in the El Paso County child welfare system in Texas.
- Children of Inmates: $10,000 grant to continue the support of children with an incarcerated parent through recreational activities, shelter, clothing, educational needs, and visitation bonding sessions in twenty correctional facilities throughout Florida.
- My Sisters Place: $10,000 grant to directly support immediate needs of domestic violence victims and survivors as well as their children in Westchester County, New York with crisis support hotline callers, safety, shelter and transitional housing.
- NAMI Central Texas: $10,000 grant to support mental health services for women and children of all races, backgrounds, and ages living in areas of Central Texas where there is a lack of services.
- Redwood Empire Foodbank: $10,000 grant to continue to support the Every Child Every Day program and critical food distribution programs to families struggling with food insecurity due to inflation and cost of basic goods in the low-income communities of Sonoma County, California.
The Open Hearts Foundation is committed to the careful stewardship of our donors’ contributions and requires each charity partner to submit a brief Final Report explaining how the funds were used and the impact they achieved.

Although debated, most scholars agree that Mexican immigrants first introduced recreational marijuana use to the United States in the early 1900’s. As homage to the Mexican culture and their involvement in bringing marijuana use to popular culture, we decided to choose “Canamo” as the name of concentrate brand. Canada is an anglicized version of cáñamo, which is the Spanish word for hemp. However, many Chicanos in the United States and Latinos all across the world use cáñamo as slang for cannabis.
Our brand’s logo is an altered version of a Mexican sugar skull; it is only natural to choose a turquoise color to further represent our corner of the country and the history of its people. Looking at our name, chosen colors and logo, it’s easy to see that Canamo Concentrates radiates southwestern vibes.

Schapiro: Proposed tax cut spotlights other taxing questions
Gov. Glenn Youngkin blew up the stalled House-Senate talks on a compromise Virginia budget with a fiscal flash grenade: a proposal to spare inflation-jittery motorists from paying the state fuel tax for three months — 26.2 cents per gallon for gasoline, 27 cents for diesel. In doing so...

‘Morbius’ review: Jared Leto is an emo vampire in boring Marvel film
Renowned scientist Dr. Michael Morbius has a superb thought. In order to remedy a debilitating bloodborne sickness, he’ll mix human DNA with that of a Costa Rican vampire bat.
How does it work? No clue. He authoritatively says “coagulants,” slaps a pair vials in a centrifuge, et voila!
Running time: 104 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of violence, some horrifying pictures and temporary robust language). In theaters.
The situation is private. Michael (Jared Leto) and his greatest good friend Milo (Matt Smith) each have a lifelong mysterious illness that weakens their our bodies and forces them to stroll with two canes. Determined, he illegally experiments on himself.
Morbius is then shocked when the trial leaves him bat-like and fanged with a thirst for human blood.
Huh? That’s like if I melded my DNA with a hippo’s and was stunned that I turned hungry, hungry.
The drained and gloomy new Marvel film “Morbius,” which is made by Sony and never a part of the huge Marvel Cinematic Universe, suffers from power obviousness. Of course, Dr. Morbius (Jared Leto) is gonna develop into Batboy. Of course, Milo (Matt Smith) is gonna need in on the motion. Of course, the character I shan’t identify is gonna by accident wind up a vampire too. Director Daniel Espinosa’s movie isn’t a catastrophe — only a bat-nap.
Comic ebook movies are sometimes formulaic, sure, however you want solely look to final yr’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” to see that there are ample alternatives for the surprising. Here, there are solely alternatives for Leto to be a creep and wildly contort his physique. That is probably the most predictable a part of all.
“Morbius” is considered one of Marvel’s rising variety of antihero movies — a extra palatable one than dumb-as-rocks “Venom,” a minimum of — about an off-putting one who develops a harmful energy that he can’t absolutely management and whom we don’t know how you can really feel about for 2 hours. The viewer struggles to care.
We’re additionally conscious that there are a lot of, many higher vampire tales than Count Dreckula right here (take a look at the Netflix series “Midnight Mass”) and never a lot units this one aside in addition to its sexlessness and lack of wit. It’s nearer to the horror style than most Marvel movies; nevertheless, it’s by no means scary.
Aesthetically it steals from lots of what got here earlier than it. In one scene, Morbius stands within the middle of a twister of bats as a booming rating blares, similar to Christian Bale did in “Batman Begins.” When Morbius and Milo go into vampire mode, their mugs appear to be emo variations of Spike from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” And, come on, an experiment that turns a man right into a bat is a helluva lot like a lab accident making Peter Parker right into a spider.
Leto is at his greatest when he isn’t flying round hissing and utilizing echolocation. He’s well-cast (all of the actor must do to arrange to play a vampire is get up), and also you consider he cares for Milo (Smith, as we noticed on “The Crown,” does brat nicely) and his colleague Martine (Adria Arjona). However, the scenes with younger Michael (Charlie Shotwell) at first are higher and extra shifting than something that comes after.
The cacophonous ending units up a sequel, however I hope it by no means sees the sunshine of day. Actually, contemplating it’s about vampires, possibly I do!

Cubans with Spanish nationality can benefit from economic aid offered by the Spanish government through its consulates and the Ministry of Labor and Migration in Cuba to support its nationals residing abroad.
The aid, which is offered both in Freely Convertible Currency (MLC) or in Cuban pesos, can be requested if you meet requirements such as having a valid Spanish passport and showing proof that you lack resources at the time of requesting assistance.
The forms for extraordinary assistance aid, granted in MLC by the Ministry of Labor of the Embassy of Spain in Cuba, can be presented as of April 1 at the office of the Ministry of Labor in Miramar, at number 519 on 70th Street. , between avenue 7 and 5B. Prior appointment is required, by phone 53 7204 1717/1716 or by email to cuba@mites.gob.es.
This aid is designed for Spanish residents abroad and temporarily displaced Spanish workers, who in both cases are in need, indicates the information sheet on the program of the Ministry.
Dependent persons or survivors of gender violence are prioritized. Payment is made by check or transfer to the account of the beneficiary or their representative and it is recommended that they open an account with MLC.
The application for existential aid can be obtained at this link: http://www.ciudadaniaexterior.mitramiss.gob.es/es/pdf/formularios/ayudasasis/23_Ayudas_Asistenciales_Extraordinarias_Exterior_Solicitud.pdf
▪ You must present a valid Spanish passport, Cuban identity card of the applicant and of all those residing in the same house, with the updated address.
▪ Proof of all core members of the family relationship with the applicant.
▪ Supply book.
▪ Documents that show the income they receive, such as a letter from Social Security, from the bank, proof of annual salary, and for students over 16 years of age, a letter from the study center.
▪ Documents that prove that you lack resources and that you have a need. In case of health problems, you must present a medical certificate, you can also present proof of drug expenses.
Subsistence aid to Spanish citizens in Cuba
This aid is delivered every year to Spanish citizens in Cuba under 18 years of age, over 65 or disabled for work who do not have means of subsistence.
In previous years, around 200 euros of aid have been delivered and once again it comes at a precise moment due to the economic crisis that Cuba is facing due to the impact of the coronavirus, the inability of tourism to take off and the growing inflation, which in Cuba is more serious because prices increased by 70 percent as a result of the economic adjustment measures called “ordering”, promoted by the government of Miguel Díaz-Canel.
This type of assistance can offer a break to older adults –many direct descendants and nationalized Spaniards– who receive minimum pensions. The Cuban state tries to ignore their care with new laws in the Cuban Family Code, which places the responsibility of keeping the elderly on family members.
The application for subsistence assistance must be submitted in person at the Spanish Consulate in Havana, and at the vice-consulates of Camagüey, Santa Clara and Santiago de Cuba. The deadline is May 2.
To qualify for this aid, the applicant must not be receiving any other type of aid such as that of the Ministry of Labor or autonomous communities.
In this link you can obtain the form to request subsistence aid 2022 and you can also consult this guide to correctly fill out the form.
The Spanish Consulate indicates that the procedures for both grants are free and that intermediaries are not necessary.
More than 165,000 Spaniards reside in Cuba, and in 2021 9,898 were added, according to data from the Register of Spaniards residing abroad. In many cases, these Spaniards obtained nationality because they were descendants of immigrants, mostly Galician, Canarian, Andalusian, Asturian and Catalan.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee woman convicted in the death of a police officer has been sentenced to 8 to 12 years in prison.
Ashley Kroese of Thompson's Station was 24 years old on June 18, 2020, when she drove on the wrong side of the road in Brentwood, killing Brentwood police officer Destin Legieza, 30, authorities said.
She was previously found guilty of four charges, including vehicular homicide by intoxication. She was sentenced Wednesday for charges in the crash that killed Legieza, The Tennessean reported.
A blood test after the crash found her blood alcohol content was 0.166%, which is twice the legal limit.
Members of Legieza's family spoke at the hearing.
“Ashley. I don’t think you intended to kill anyone that day,” said Heather Legieza, the officer’s widow. “But you moving forward with the trial when you know what you did was with intention, you should have just taken accountability for your actions."
Kroese, who did not testify at the February trial, read from a statement.
“I can’t pretend to understand what you have been going through. I’ve never lost a husband, a son or a brother, and nothing I can say is able to ease your pain, but I am truly and deeply sorry,” Kroese said.

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado couple face felony charges in connection with the fentanyl death of their 1-year-old child, whom prosecutors say died after ingesting enough of the extremely lethal drug to kill an adult.
Alonzo Montoya, 31, and Nicole Casias, 30, of the Denver suburb of Brighton were charged with child abuse resulting in death and distribution of a controlled substance in connection with the girl’s death on Jan. 2, the 17th Judicial District’s Office said in a statement Thursday.
It said the Adams County Coroner had determined that the child died after ingesting fentanyl and that Montoya and Casias “participated in illicit drug activity” in the child’s presence at home before and after her death.
Montoya was being held on $250,000 bail at the Adams County Jail. Bail was set at $100,000 for Casias. A status hearing for both was set for Monday.
Telephone and email messages seeking comment from Casias’ attorney, Rachel Lanzen, were not immediately returned. Montoya was being represented by the public defender’s office, which doesn’t comment on pending cases.
Court records that would provide details on the accusations weren’t immediately available from the county district court. Christopher Hopper, a district attorney’s spokesman, said he could not provide additional information.
Fentanyl is an unpredictable and powerful synthetic painkiller blamed for driving an increase in fatal drug overdoses. It’s 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Bangalore University authorities are clearly discomfited by the continuing protests on the campus seeking the appointment of a vice-chancellor.
In a circular on Thursday, Registrar (Administration) Prof M Kotresh asked students and teaching and non-teaching staff, including department heads, not to hold any protests on the university’s Jnanabharathi campus.
The circular came hours after research students held a sit-in demonstration in front of the vice-chancellor's office and pasted a copy of the high court order that quashed Prof K R Venugopal's appointment.
On March 16, a division bench of the court upheld the order passed by a single judge quashing Prof Venugopal's appointment. The order, which remains unchallenged, has created a power vacuum in the university. Neither the state government nor the governor's office has provided clarity on the matter yet. Prof Venugopal's term was to end on June 12.
The Bangalore University Postgraduate and Research Scholars' Association has vowed to continue the protest until a new vice-chancellor is appointed.
Lokesh Ram, an office-bearer of the association, said: "We are students and it is our right to protest for the welfare of the student community. Nobody can stop us."
He suggested that the circular was issued on the basis of a letter by the jurisdictional police station. "They have quoted the high court order in the circular. The registrar should know that we are not associated with any political party. The high court does not apply to students because ours is a peaceful protest," Ram said.
Another student said: "Instead of resolving the issue, the administration is trying to suppress our voice."

Although debated, most scholars agree that Mexican immigrants first introduced recreational marijuana use to the United States in the early 1900’s. As homage to the Mexican culture and their involvement in bringing marijuana use to popular culture, we decided to choose “Canamo” as the name of concentrate brand. Canada is an anglicized version of cáñamo, which is the Spanish word for hemp. However, many Chicanos in the United States and Latinos all across the world use cáñamo as slang for cannabis.
Our brand’s logo is an altered version of a Mexican sugar skull; it is only natural to choose a turquoise color to further represent our corner of the country and the history of its people. Looking at our name, chosen colors and logo, it’s easy to see that Canamo Concentrates radiates southwestern vibes.

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.

‘More succinct’: casino manager denies watering down report
A senior supervisor at Star Entertainment Group has denied ordering a due diligence officer to water down a report into junket group Suncity to minimize allegations that its operator was concerned in organised crime and take away criticisms of the way in which the on line casino had dealt with suspected cash laundering.
Kevin Houlihan, the overall supervisor of economic crime, requested due diligence supervisor Angus Buchanan in 2020 to report on whether or not The Star ought to proceed to take care of Suncity and its operator Alvin Chau.
Star executives turned conscious in 2018 that Suncity had been conducting money transactions in a non-public room referred to as Salon 95 to which the junket operator had been given unique entry, and this had been flagged as an indicator that cash laundering was going down. Some people had been charged with receiving the proceeds of crime in relation to actions that had occurred in Salon 95. The inquiry heard that Mr Houlihan had additionally seen the findings of a 2018 investigation into Suncity by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which linked Mr Chau to triads and organised crime.
But Suncity continued to function in a non-public room on the Star on line casino.
The Star on line casino inquiry heard on Thursday that Mr Buchanan’s first model of the report, delivered in October 2020, was extremely important of the way in which the Star had dealt with its relationship with Suncity, describing its response to suspicions that it was utilizing the on line casino to launder cash as “weak and not proportionate to the risk”.
But counsel helping the inquiry, Naomi Sharp, SC, pointed to a number of variations between the preliminary draft and a second draft produced after Mr Buchanan had met the compliance officers, Mr Houlihan and the group basic counsel, Andrew Power, later that month.
It was put earlier than the inquiry that, as an ex-police officer with 20 years expertise investigating Chinese organised crime, Mr Buchanan reported in his first draft that Mr Chau would have retained a relationship together with his former triad and was concerned in organised crime and it was extremely unlikely that cash laundering would have occurred in Salon 95 with out his information and acquiescence.
The second model of the report apparently added that there was no info out there to recommend Mr Chau had directed the exercise. “To the contrary, Mr Chau appears to be a respected figure across South East Asia and enjoys the reputation of being a successful and astute businessman,” the second draft stated.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The pain was sharp and familiar. It reminded David Price of where he has been. It also told him he still might be able to be the pitcher the Los Angeles Dodgers thought they had nearly 26 months ago.
Price’s quiet spring began the way others have in the five-time All-Star’s 13-year career: His left elbow hurt after his first live batting practice a couple of weeks ago, and he knew the resumption of an old routine was underway.
“Always the elbow,’’ Price said. “It happens every year, all the way back to 2010. Now, everything feels good – arm, elbow and shoulder.’’
It was good enough to impress Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and anybody else who watched Price make his first spring appearance against Cleveland on Wednesday night. The left-hander worked only an inning, but he had two strikeouts and was clocked at 93 mph.
In an abbreviated camp, it wasn’t enough to determine his role. It did remind the Dodgers that Price is still in the mix.
From starter to bullpen, Price’s role with the Dodgers has been uncertain since they acquired the 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner from the Boston Red Sox in a three-team deal that included right-fielder Mookie Betts in February 2020.
Price didn’t pitch at all that year, opting out because of concerns about COVID-19. In 2021, he bounced between the starting rotation and the bullpen with 11 starts and 28 appearances as a reliever. His overall ERA was 4.03.
He arrived at camp in mid-March ready to do anything. Then Roberts mentioned him as a possible starter.
“I’m preparing that way, yeah,” said Price, who is in the final year of a seven-year, $217 million contract. “I think it’d be silly of me to prepare to be a reliever if I’m asked to start. So, I’m preparing to be a starter until otherwise.”
Otherwise looks to be the case. Roberts projects his starting rotation will be Walker Buehler, Julio Urias, Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Heaney and Tony Gonsolin. He cautioned that nothing is set in stone, mostly because pitchers were limited in a camp cut short by major league baseball’s lockout.
The Dodgers signed career starter Tyler Anderson in mid-March, just in case. As for Price, Roberts said: “I just think that David, right now, is not an option in the sense of, he’s not built up. It just doesn’t seem feasible right now.”
The 36-year-old left-hander could still have an immediate role, like one inning in relief early in the season, Roberts said, and moving up to multiple innings as he gets stronger.
“I’m confident in David in any role,’’ Roberts said. “I like his versatility. The role doesn’t matter. It’s just knowing that he’s going to pitch valuable innings in whatever role.”
NOTES
Cody Bellinger took batting practice Thursday on the minor-league side of the Dodgers’ camp. The 2019 National League MVP is 4 for 27 with 17 strikeouts this spring.
“I wouldn’t say I’m alarmed,’’ Roberts said. “I think ‘progressing’ is the word. We’ve got to continue to log at-bats to make him feel as comfortable as possible when the season starts.’’

Prosecutor seeks end to Khashoggi murder trial in Turkey, requests transfer to Saudi Arabia
The Turkish prosecutor in the case against 26 Saudi nationals charged in the slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi made a surprise request Thursday that their trial in absentia be suspended and the case transferred to Saudi Arabia, raising fears of a possible coverup.
The panel of judges made no ruling on the prosecutor’s request but said a letter would be sent to Turkey’s Justice Ministry seeking its opinion on the possible transfer of the file to Saudi judicial authorities, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. The trial was adjourned until April 7.
The development comes as Turkey has been trying to normalize its relationship with Saudi Arabia, which hit an all-time low following Khashoggi’s grisly October 2018 killing. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview on Thursday that Saudi authorities were more cooperative on judicial issues with Turkey, but did not elaborate.
In arguing for the transfer, the prosecutor told the court that the Saudi chief public prosecutor’s office requested the Turkish proceedings be transferred to the kingdom in a letter dated March 13, and that international warrants issued by Ankara against the defendants be lifted, according to the private DHA news agency.
The prosecutor said that because the arrest warrants cannot be executed and defense statements cannot be taken, the case would remain inconclusive in Turkey.
Amnesty International urged Turkey to press ahead with the trial, saying if it is transferred to Saudi Arabia, Turkey will be “knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up.”
Moving Khashoggi’s trial to Saudi Arabia would provide a diplomatic resolution to a dispute that represented the wider troubles between Ankara and the kingdom since the 2011 Arab Spring.
Turkey under Erdogan supported Islamists as the uprisings took hold, while Saudi Arabia and its ally the United Arab Emirates sought to suppress such movements for fear of facing challenges to their autocratic governments. Meanwhile, Turkey sided with Qatar in a diplomatic dispute that saw Doha boycotted by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Since then-President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, the Gulf Arab states have set aside — but not fully resolved — the Qatar dispute. Meanwhile, Turkey under Erdogan has faced a rapid devaluation of its lira currency over his refusal to hike interest rates. Bilateral trade to the kingdom and the UAE, a major transshipment point for the world economy, also collapsed.
Since the start of 2022, Erdogan has sought to improve those ties, including making his first visit to the UAE in nearly a decade. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, after fighting through the coronavirus pandemic’s economic effects, facing a grinding war in Yemen and struggling with renewed tensions with Iran, also want to resolve the outstanding feud.
Khashoggi disappeared on Oct. 2, 2018, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, seeking documents that would allow him to marry Hatice Cengiz, a Turkish national who was waiting outside the building. He never emerged.
Turkish officials allege that the Saudi national, who was a United States resident, was killed and then dismembered with a bone saw inside the consulate. His body has not been found. Prior to his killing, Khashoggi had written critically of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince in columns for the Washington Post.
Turkish authorities said he was killed by a team of Saudi agents. Those on trial in absentia include two former aides of the prince.
Saudi officials initially offered conflicting accounts concerning the killing, including claims that Khashoggi had left the consulate building unharmed. But amid mounting international pressure, they stated that Khashoggi’s death was a tragic accident, with the meeting unexpectedly turning violent.
Turkey decided to try the defendants in absentia after Saudi Arabia rejected Turkish demands for their extradition.
The slaying had sparked international condemnation and cast a cloud of suspicion over Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Western intelligence agencies, as well as the U.S. Congress, have said that an operation of this magnitude could not have happened without his knowledge.
In urging Turkey to proceed with the trial, Amnesty International said Ankara would be complicit in a coverup if it grants the Saudi request for a transfer.
“If the prosecutor’s request is granted, then instead of prosecuting and shedding light on a murder that was committed on its territory ... Turkey will be knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up,” said Tarik Beyhan, Amnesty’s campaign director for Turkey.
Beyhan said he didn’t want to “think about the possibility” that the prosecutor’s request may be related to the improving ties between Riyadh and Ankara.
“Basic human rights ... should not be made the subject of political negotiations,” he said. “A murder cannot be covered up to fix relations.”
Some of the men were put on trial in Riyadh behind closed doors. A Saudi court issued a final verdict in 2020 that sentenced five mid-level officials and operatives to 20-year jail terms. The court had originally ordered the death penalty, but reduced the punishment after Khashoggi’s son Salah, who lives in Saudi Arabia, announced that he forgave the defendants. Three others were sentenced to lesser jail terms.
On Thursday, Khashoggi's fiancee, Cengiz, appeared to criticize the prosecutor’s request in a tweet in English. “It is an exemplary situation in terms of showing the dilemma facing humanity in the modern era,” she wrote. “Which of the two will we choose? To want to live like a virtuous human being or to build a life by holding material interests above all kinds of values.”
She did not respond to a request for comment.

The selection of Mexico closed this Wednesday its classification to the Qatar World Cup 2022 after beating El Salvador on the last day of the Concacaf qualifier.
Despite this good news, Mexico they are not entirely happy with the work of the Aztec team led by “Tata” Martino, such is the case of David Fatelson.
See: Communiqué. Fenafuth apologizes for the failure to qualify for Qatar and leaves the future of ‘Bolillo’ Gómez in suspense
“Nothing to celebrate tonight. Please! Let’s not be ridiculous. Qualifying for the World Cup in the poverty of this competitive area is an obligation of Mexican soccer…”, was the message he launched Faitelson on their social networks.
Then, in an analysis for ESPN, continued to throw darts at his country. “There is absolutely nothing to celebrate, Mexico It has the obligation to qualify for the soccer World Cups through that area, I would call it poor or primitive in soccer terms. The most notable thing is the rebound in Canada, but that’s about it,” Faitelson said.
And he adds: “What had to happen happened, they have gone directly Canada, Mexico and the United States. Costa Rica going to the playoffs and I think if they hurry up and focus they can beat New Zealand and get that spot for the Concacaf”.
Also: Amado Guevara “shot” with everything after the poor campaign of the National Team. “I don’t think it will go any lower than this”
Later, Faitelson attacked again Mexican team for their level of play.
“You have to worry about the poor performance of Mexicobecause always in the tie and also in the world, the style, the ways in which they achieve the points is the greatest virtue that the selection must have. Given the poverty of the rivals in this area, Mexico has the obligation to play better and win the games”, he stressed.
ABOUT HONDURAS
Finally, David Fatelson left a message to the Central American teams, that now they must worry about Canada and not about Mexico.
“The problem of El Salvador, Honduras, Panama And till Costa Rica It is not Mexico. The new problem they face in Concacaf is called Canadawhich shows soccer and has the structure and infrastructure to grow more and better than the Central Americans”, he highlighted.

British Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss on Thursday said that the United Kingdom would not tell India whether it should continue importing oil from Russia.
“I think it’s very important that we respect other countries’ decisions about the issues that they face; India is a sovereign nation. I’m not going to tell India what to do,” she said after a meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in New Delhi.
She, however, pointed out that Europe had not done enough to lessen dependence on energy imports from Russia after it had annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. “We are seeing the result of that now,” she added, referring to Russia’s current military operations in Ukraine. “I think it’s natural for countries to go out into the market and look for what are good deals for their people,” Jaishankar said, rejecting criticism from the US and the other western nations of New Delhi’s move to buy oil from Russia.
“I am pretty sure if we wait two or three months and actually look at who are the big buyers of Russian gas and oil, I suspect the list won’t be very different from what it used to be,” he added, pointing out that the European countries continued to buy oil from Russia.
With Moscow offering crude oil to New Delhi at a discounted price, India has already planned to buy about 15 million barrels of crude oil from sanction-hit Russia at a discounted price over the next few weeks, notwithstanding criticism in the US and the UK.
