When our immune system comes into contact with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, it fights back and produces antibodies. A similar immune response is triggered by coronavirus vaccines. However, there is still little data available on the strength and durability of immune protection. A team led by Carsten Watzl from the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors Institute for Occupational Research, in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology and the Klinikum Dortmund, has now been able to detect high levels of neutralizing antibodies in test persons even 300 days after a coronavirus infection with the original variant of the coronavirus. And what's more: after complete vaccination, the recovered probands showed antibody levels about five times higher than those vaccinated without prior infection. This would provide much better protection against a severe course of the disease in the event of a new infection with other coronavirus variants.

The new US-Russia cold war will accelerate China’s rise
President Biden has made clear that the United States has embarked on a strategy of Containment 2.0 against Russia with what he calls “the broadest sanctions in history.” But Biden is unlikely to have factored in the possibility of a boomerang effect. The unintended consequences could bifurcate the global economy, polarize international politics and strengthen China at America’s expense.
Over the years, the relative ease of imposing economic sanctions has turned them into a grossly overused tool of American diplomacy. The efficacy of U.S. sanctions has been eroding with the relative decline of American power, and a growing body of evidence suggests that such measures have often proved counterproductive to America’s own economic and geopolitical interests.
The U.S. has virtually ejected Russia from the Western-led financial order at a time when economic power is moving east. Expelling the world’s 11th-largest economy from an order that the U.S. seeks to uphold could intensify the search for a viable alternative system that isn’t dominated by the West.
What is more certain is that the new U.S.-led hybrid war against Russia, centered on unparalleled sanctions, will help deepen the undeclared Beijing-Moscow axis against Washington and make China the big winner financially and geopolitically, thereby aiding its expansion of economic and military power.
The West’s heavy economic penalties on Moscow, including unplugging key Russian banks from the international SWIFT payments system, are set to turn China into Russia’s banker, enabling it to reap vast profits. In structural terms too, Russia’s sanctions pain will be China’s gain: To help insulate itself from similar Western sanctions if it were to invade Taiwan, Beijing is seeking to boost the payments and reserve role of the yuan and the international use of its competitor to the SWIFT network — the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System, or CIPS. The West’s Russia sanctions are likely to provide a fillip to both efforts.
Furthermore, the sanctions have opened the path for China to build an energy safety net through greater land-based imports so that it can withstand a potential U.S.-led energy embargo or blockade in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The re-imposition of sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is welcome news for Beijing, which is seeking to further boost energy imports from Russia after concluding new oil and gas deals worth a whopping $117.5 billion during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Beijing visit last month.
Here’s the paradox: China has faced no Western financial or other meaningful sanctions despite swallowing Hong Kong, redrawing the geopolitical map of the South China Sea, expanding its land frontiers in the Himalayas and establishing a Muslim gulag with more than one million detainees in what two successive U.S. administrations have called “genocide” and “crimes against humanity.” By contrast, as Biden’s two rounds of sanctions last year underscored, Russia has remained an easy target for escalating American sanctions over the past decade because the U.S. has little stake in the Russian economy.
In this light, the West’s targeting of just Russia is certain to make China the main beneficiary of the sanctions, thus aiding Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “China dream” of supplanting the U.S. as the world’s preeminent power.
The new Biden-led sanctions against Russia will likely be undercut by Xi’s regime — unless the West goes after China too. But that possibility seems remote.
As part of a diplomatic strategy to extract important concessions from the West, Beijing will play the same cat-and-mouse game with Washington over the Russia sanctions that it has long played vis-à-vis the North Korea sanctions. It will pretend to cooperate with the U.S. while quietly undermining the Western sanctions, including by helping Russia to find China-centered financial workarounds.
The outrage over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine should not obscure one key fact: China, with about a 10 times larger population and economy than Russia, poses the biggest challenge to America. Whereas Russia’s strategic priorities and ambitions are concentrated in its neighborhood, China is working to supplant the U.S. as the dominant global power.
As FBI Director Christopher Wray said last month, “There is just no country that presents a broader threat to our ideas, our innovation and our economic security than China.” And the “scale of their hacking program…is greater than every other country combined.” China has expanded its spying in the U.S. to such an extent, according to Wray, that the FBI is launching one new counterintelligence investigation on average every 12 hours.
For China, whose global image is at a historic low, the new Washington-Moscow cold war (with Russia reemerging as the “evil empire” in Western perceptions) couldn’t come at a better time. Xi has shown an increasing appetite for taking major risks, believing China has a narrow window of strategic opportunity to modify the international order in its favor before it confronts a demographic crisis, stalled economic growth and an unfavorable global environment.
Putin, through his war of aggression, is unwittingly helping Beijing, including distracting the U.S. from its China challenge. The war, which has the makings of a drawn-out and dangerous confrontation between Russia and NATO, will help Xi’s pursuit of his “China dream.”
Biden is likely to live up to his pledge to make Russia pay “dearly, economically and strategically.” Taming a largely hostile Ukraine could mire Russia in a quagmire, especially as Western lethal weapons continue to flow to Ukrainian resistance forces. Biden’s request to Congress for a staggering $10 billion in additional Ukrainian assistance shows that his Containment 2.0 strategy includes an Afghanistan 2.0 plan to replicate in Ukraine the CIA-led covert war of the 1980s that ultimately drove Soviet forces out from Afghanistan.
America’s increasing entanglement in European security, however, will open greater space for Chinese expansionism in the Indo-Pacific, a region that will shape the new world order. In fact, U.S. policy, instead of driving a wedge between Russia and China, is serving as a bridge that unites them against an overstretched America.
More fundamentally, U.S. policy has learned little from its strategic blunder in aiding China’s rise under successive American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama, which has resulted in that country today posing a military, economic and technological challenge on a scale America has not seen before. Almost every time the U.S. has slapped any country with sanctions in the post-Cold War period, it has helped advance Chinese commercial and strategic interests.
The Russia sanctions, although they hold no promise of changing Putin’s behavior, constitute one of the biggest gifts American policymakers have delivered to Beijing. By effectively putting Russia, the world’s richest country in natural resources, in Beijing’s pocket, the sanctions will yield major dividends for a resource-hungry China, including allowing it to dictate the terms of the bilateral relationship and secure greater access to Russian military technology.
After Biden’s Afghan debacle and failure to deter Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, could Taiwan become his next foreign policy disaster? Xi will likely bide his time and wait for an opportune moment before moving on Taiwan, taking a distracted U.S. by utter surprise and bringing down the curtain on the West’s long ascendancy.

Britain will send £1.3billion in aid to countries that won't join us in condemning Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine
- Britain will send over £1billion in aid to countries who have not criticised Putin
- China and India will receive millions despite abstaining from condemning Russia
- Tory MP said foreign aid policy should be reviewed as a 'matter of urgency'
Britain is sending £1.3billion of aid to countries which have failed to criticise Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.
Last month the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn the aggression and call for an immediate withdrawal.
Of the 40 countries who either voted against the motion or abstained, 37 received development cash in 2021/22. Among those to abstain were China, handed £12.4million, and India and Pakistan, given £57.8million and £142.7million respectively.
All three countries have been accused of being far too close to Vladimir Putin since he sent in his troops – India has even set up a system to help Russia avoid the impact of Western sanctions. Millions have also been sent into Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea and Syria, even though their governments explicitly supported the invasion.
Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen (pictured) said the Foreign Office needed to review the allocations 'as a matter of urgency’, after it was revealed that Britain will send £1.3billion in aid to countries that didn't condemn Putin
Britain will still send millions to India, China and Pakistan despite the countries not condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Last night Tories demanded the Foreign Office, which now runs Britain’s aid programme, reviews its spending. Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said: ‘Why on Earth would we want to be giving these countries aid, when they do not even vote to condemn the invasion of Ukraine?
‘The whole point of taking aid into the Foreign Office was that our aid programme would align with our foreign policy objectives. The Foreign Office clearly need to review these allocations as a matter of urgency.’
Just four countries sided with Russia in the UN vote – and all are recipients of British aid in 2021/22. Belarus received £80,000 and North Korea £15,000 to support postgraduate students willing to study in the UK.
Eritrea got £680,000 towards this same scheme and a humanitarian response fund. Some £53.5millon went to those caught up in the Syrian conflict, despite the country’s president Bashar al-Assad praising Russia’s invasion as a ‘correction of history’ and accusing the West of using ‘dirty methods to support terrorist in Syria and Nazis in Ukraine’.
The result of the UN vote to condemn Vladimir Putin, in which five countries voted against and 34 abstained
The £12.4million sent to China, which has said it understands Russia’s ‘legitimate security concerns’ over the eastern expansion of Nato, includes funds towards the China Prosperity Fund programme. It aims to bring British and Chinese businesses together and help China’s ‘transition to an inclusive, sustainable and productive economy’.
Aid money also went towards tackling the illegal wildlife trade, reducing poverty, promoting offshore renewable energy, and reducing the number of pigs catching influenza.
India, which gets 70 per cent of its arms from Russia, has remained studiously neutral in the war. Prime minister Narendra Modi has set up a mechanism to trade with Russia using rupees to avoid sanctions.
Last year Britain gave the country £57.8million towards projects to explore the ‘politics of hope’, to ensure low-income migrants get services in newly-expanding towns, and the survival of local foods in the city of Rampur. Other schemes concern the establishment of creches and a study of the way poverty and gender affect access to services.
Pakistan has also remained neutral and its prime minister, Imran Khan, hit out at the West over its fixation with Ukraine. Britain sent £142.7million to the country in 2021/22 for projects such as the privatisation of its largest commercial bank and a new online retailer.
More than £150,000 was sent to Iran, a country that has blamed the war on Nato provocation.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said last night: ‘We will be setting out aid allocations in due course.’

The contract also includes four option years, worth additional $2.5 billion
TUCSON, Ariz., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) business, was awarded a $651 million, with options totaling $2.5 billion, hardware, production and sustainment contract for full-rate production of the AN/SPY-6(V) Family of Radars. The contract, with options, totals $3.2 billion and five years of radar production to equip up to 31 U.S. Navy ships with SPY-6 radars.
Under the contract, RMD will produce solid state, fixed-face and rotating SPY-6 variants that will deliver unprecedented integrated air and missile defense capabilities for seven types of U.S. Navy ships over the next 40 years. Those vessels include the Navy's new Arleigh Burke class Flight III destroyers, aircraft carriers and amphibious ships; today's Flight IIA destroyers will be backfit with an upgraded radar.
"There is no other radar with the surface maritime capabilities of SPY-6," said Wes Kremer, president of Raytheon Missiles & Defense. "SPY-6 is the most advanced naval radar in existence, and it will provide our military a giant leap forward in capability for decades to come."
Since its inception, more than $600 million has been invested in the development and manufacturing of the SPY-6 family of radars. When compared to legacy radars, SPY-6 will bring new capabilities to the surface fleet, such as advanced electronic warfare protection and enhanced detection abilities.
SPY-6 array radar variants have between nine and 37 radar modular assemblies, known as RMAs. Common RMAs allow SPY-6 to be scalable and modular to support production for the U.S. and partner nations across all variants, to include the Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar. This commonality supports standardized logistics and training for those who work on the radars.
SPY-6 radar installation is complete on the Navy's first Flight III destroyer, the USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), which is scheduled to be operational in 2024. Radar array deliveries are complete for the next ship in the class, the future USS Ted Stevens (DDG 128).
Raytheon Technologies Corporation is an aerospace and defense company that provides advanced systems and services for commercial, military and government customers worldwide. With four industry-leading businesses ― Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon Intelligence & Space and Raytheon Missiles & Defense ― the company delivers solutions that push the boundaries in avionics, cybersecurity, directed energy, electric propulsion, hypersonics, and quantum physics.

J. Cole, Dreamville Drop Their First 'Gangsta Grillz' Mixtape With DJ Drama
By Tony M. Centeno
March 31, 2022
J. Cole has dropped a few fire mixtapes throughout his career. After delivering Dreamville's Revenge of the Dreamers III compilation in 2019, Cole and his band of esteemed artists have joined forces with DJ Drama for their first-ever Gangsta Grillz mixtape.
Ahead of the label's third annual Dreamville Festival, J. Cole, DJ Drama and Dreamville artists Omen, Bas, Ari Lennox, EarthGang, J.I.D, Cozz, and Lute released their newest mixtape D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape on Thursday, March 31. The 15-track project features Kenny Mason, Sheck Wes, A$AP Ferg, G-Perico, Reason, 2 Chainz and Young Nudy.
Drama, Cole and the Dreamville crew made the announcement by posting a brief trailer the day before their new body of work came out. In the purposely grainy video, we can see cameos from all the artists involved with the mixtape while DJ Drama speaks about Dreamville Fest and the project.
"“You n****s over here talking ’bout festivals?," Drama says in the video. "I’m thinking more like invasions!… You gon’ stop playing on Dreamville’s top!… Like n****s don’t run this!”
The mixtape serves as a follow-up to the label's previous release Revenge of the Dreamers III. The compilation was the byproduct of a massive studio session the label hosted in Atlanta. This is the first time J. Cole, his label and DJ Drama have come together for a full-length Gangsta Grillz project. Prior to the new mixtape, Cole had jumped on "Undercover" featuring Chris Brown back in 2011, which is featured on Drama's third studio album Third Power.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis endorsed a state legislator Thursday over U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn in their upcoming Republican primary, saying the first-term congressman has “fallen well short” of expectations.
Tillis’ backing of state Sen. Chuck Edwards adds another consequential voice in North Carolina’s GOP willing to oppose Cawthorn, who has received criticisms from a larger swath of Republicans for recent comments, including one in which he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug.”
The top Republican leaders in the state legislature — House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate leader Phil Berger — also were featured guests at a lunch fundraiser Thursday for Edwards, one of seven Republicans challenging Cawthorn for the nomination in the May 17 primary.
“The 11th Congressional District deserves a congressman who is fully dedicated to serving their constituents,” Tillis said in a news release. “Unfortunately, Madison Cawthorn has fallen well short of the most basic standards western North Carolina expects from their representatives, and voters now have several well-qualified candidates to choose from who would be a significant improvement. I believe Chuck Edwards is the best choice.”
Cawthorn, who was elected in 2020 at age 25, is a strong supporter of Donald Trump. Cawthorn spoke at a rally in Washington on Jan 6, 2021, that questioned the outcome of the White House election won by Democrat Joe Biden. The riot at the U.S. Capitol took place after that rally.
A Cawthorn campaign commercial posted Thursday on Twitter includes what appears to be text from a quote from Trump stating Cawthorn has “my complete and total endorsement.”
Recently, Cawthorn has received negative publicity for being cited three times in five months for traffic violations — speeding and driving with a revoked license among them — and for the video about Zelenskyy. In the same short video, Cawthorn said the Ukrainian government “is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.”
Cawthorn and a spokesperson later attempted to clarify those remarks, with the congressman calling actions by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his country’s invasion of Ukraine “disgusting.” After recent comments Cawthorn made on a podcast that angered fellow Republicans in Congress, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., met with Cawthorn this week and reprimanded him publicly.
Moore said Thursday that someone like Cawthorn doesn’t deserve to be in Congress.
“If you have clowns in office who aren’t serious about what they’re doing, you can’t get somewhere,” Moore told WNCN-TVwhile attending a fundraiser for Edwards. “I’m just kind of without the words to describe what Congressman Cawthorn is doing and saying. I mean, some of these ridiculous recent comments that continue to build on one another.”
A Cawthorn spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment about the Republican opposition.
Cawthorn announced in November that he planned to run in a proposed congressional district closer to Charlotte, rather than to keep representing the far western mountains. Moore had also considered a run in that new district but decided against it. That district ultimately was thrown out by judges, and Cawthorn returned to a run in the reconfigured 11th District, which leans Republican.
Cawthorn’s campaign raised $2.8 million in 2021 but had only $282,000 in cash entering this year, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Other primary opponents includes former political ally Michele Woodhouse and Wendy Marie-Limbaugh Nevarez, who is being supported by a super political action committee linked to Moe Davis, the 11th District Democratic nominee in 2020.
The top vote-getter in the upcoming primary would have to receive more than 30% of the vote to avoid a July 26 runoff with the second-place finisher.

Inside Putin’s brain
Is Russian President Vladimir Putin irrational and unstable? Is he operating with a set strategy and plan based on Russian interests? Or is there another explanation?
While the American Psychological Association prohibits making a psychiatric diagnosis without physically examining the subject, that does not preclude using a cultural analysis to deduce how Putin may be thinking. A well-known piece of Russian lore makes this point.
Centuries ago, two poor Russian kulak neighbors, living side by side on barely arable plots, detested each other and resented when one did better than the other. One was called Vlad; the other Boris. Vlad was working his hard-scrabble land when he came upon an ancient brass lamp. Picking it up and while rubbing off the grime, a genie appeared.
“Vladimir, for freeing me, I will grant you one wish,” the genie said. “But I will double your request for your neighbor Boris.” Vlad thought hard for a minute or two and, turning to the genie, said “Pluck out one of my eyes!”
That is a relevant insight into Russian culture.
Putin’s list of grievances accumulated since the Soviet Union imploded 30 years ago is well known and well documented. His Feb. 24th address to the nation announcing the “special military operation” in Ukraine to protect Russians and Ukrainians from “neo Nazis and fascists” running the government in Kyiv, presumably including the Jewish President Volodymyr Zelensky, repeated many of them. These first appeared in the extraordinary lecture Putin delivered at the 2007 Munich Security Conference railing against the “unipolar world” dominated by the United States that degraded, dismissed and downgraded Russia.
Putin’s judgment has been overwhelmed by the resentment, distrust and animosity that has accumulated towards the U.S., NATO and much of Europe like bad cholesterol chokes the circulatory system. This has led to the misjudgment that only military force, in this case applied brutally, inhumanly, barbarically and illegally, can force his will on Ukraine first and then more broadly to expand Russian influence on Belarus, Georgia and Moldova.
Ukraine has refused to bend and seems prepared to fight if not to the death certainly close to it as long as the ammunition, food, water, related logistics and fuel last. All this carnage is being recorded and transmitted in real time on cell phones, social media and the scores of media correspondents reporting on scene.
If this analysis or supposition is correct, misjudgments as opposed to irrationality and mental instability can change. So how can Putin’s will and perception be affected, influenced and even controlled? While Putin told French President Emmanuel Macron last week that the offensive will continue, his fallback may be to divide the country in half roughly along the Dnieper River, retaining the eastern portion into a new Ukrainian Republic. Where Kyiv would end up is uncertain.
What must or can the U.S., NATO and the EU do and what might Ukraine’s strategy be? President Zelensky has two choices: capitulate or fight. Zelensky has clearly announced his position, which draws heavily from Winston Churchill.
Addressing parliament for the first time as prime minister on May 13, 1940, as the Nazi war machine was targeting France, Churchill took the English language to war using words as powerful weapons. “You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air…with all our might and with all the strength God has given us. …You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word…victory. Victory at all costs.”
Ukraine’s strategy must emulate Churchill’s “to wage war at all costs,” and those costs will be extreme and even disastrous. But what is the choice?
No matter how risky, only this strategy will compel Putin to withdraw or negotiate. And Ukraine might remember President Franklin Roosevelt’s surprise bombing raid of Tokyo in early 1942 to shock and awe Japan. Thirty-seconds over Moscow could have a similar effect.
The U.S./NATO response must be to strengthen NATO, consider admitting Finland and Sweden as members and make long-term binding commitments to support Ukraine as the U.S. supported Churchill and Britain with Lend Lease during World War II.
Ukraine, with U.S. and NATO help, must stay the course, committing “to wage war at all costs” to counter Putin’s terrorizing and killing Ukrainian civilians and gobbling up the eastern part. This may be the only exit strategy. Clearly, the outcome of a drawn-out guerrilla-like war will be bloody and catastrophic for Ukrainians and Russians. But it may be the only way to force Putin to come to his senses and reverse his misjudgments or be replaced as Russia’s strong man.
Harlan Ullman, Ph.D, is senior adviser at Washington, D.C.’s Atlantic Council and the primary author of “shock and awe.” His latest book is, “The Fifth Horseman and the New MAD: How Massive Attacks of Disruption Became the Looming Existential Danger to a Divided Nation and that World at Large.”
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.

Louisiana Family Happy To Be Alive After Tornado Lifts House Off The Ground
By Sarah Tate
March 31, 2022
A family in Louisiana is grateful to be alive after they said a tornado lifted their home off the ground on Wednesday (March 30) night.
Sha Hebert said her family is lucky to be alive after severe storms hit their Roseland home, per WWLTV. She said she received tornado alerts Wednesday shortly before the storm hit the home, which also housed her mother and stepfather as well as her son.
"The next thing I knew windows started blowing out. I screamed for [her son] to get to the bathroom," she recalled of the scary moments. "The dressers and everything were falling."
The storms were so strong, Hebert said the home they were sheltering in was lifted off the ground by a possible tornado.
"All you could see was stuff flying," she said. "It picked [the house] up. It picked up and just dropped."
Her mother, Vonda Granger, added, "When it picked the trailer up it was like all the oxygen just flew out. You couldn't breathe and then it just dropped all at once."
While the family and even their dog "Baby" were made it through the storm, their family cat did not. After experiencing their home lifting off the ground and seeing the damage that was left behind, which included a wooden post through the windshield of their SUV, Hebert said her family is lucky to be alive.
"I was just thankful. Thankful to be alive," she said. "That's all I could say was thank God my baby was OK."
According to WAFB, the National Weather Service in New Orleans confirmed that an EF-1 tornado touched down in Tangipahoa Parish Wednesday night.
Another tornado, confirmed by the NWS to be EF-0 strength, hit St. Tammany Parish just east of Cane Bayou south of U.S. 190. Even more, it had almost the exact path as the tornado that hit one week prior.

JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2022 / LFTD Partners Inc. ("LFTD Partners" or the "Company") (OTCQB:LIFD), the corporate parent of leading cannabis and psychedelics-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company Lifted Made, which manufactures the award-winning brand of hemp-derived cannabinoid products Urb Finest Flowers and psychedelics brand Silly Shruum, today reported record revenue for Q4 2021 and full year 2021, and its sixth consecutive quarter of positive GAAP-basis earnings per share.
Financial Highlights - 2021 Fiscal Year
- Revenue grew 492% to $31,656,932, up from $5,344,320 in 2020
- Net income of $5,799,982, up from a loss of $(1,534,589) in 2020
- Basic earnings per share of $0.50, up from a loss per share of $(0.29) in 2020
- Diluted earnings per share of $0.43, up from a diluted loss per share of $(0.29) in 2020
Financial Highlights - Q4 2021
- Revenue up 482% to $12,787,566, up from $2,196,518 in Q4 2020
- Net income up 146% to $1,349,292, up from $549,531 in Q4 2020
- Basic earnings per share up 67% to $0.10 per share, up from basic earnings per share of $0.06 in Q4 2020
- Diluted earnings per share up 300% to $0.08 per share, up from diluted earnings per share of $0.02 in Q4 2020
- Because LFTD Partners has exhausted its historical tax loss carryforwards, Q4 2021 financial results include a first-time accrual for income taxes of $1,367,362. Without this accrual for income taxes, Q4 2021 basic and diluted EPS would have been approximately $0.10 and $0.09 per share higher, respectively
- Because a newly enacted federal law will likely result in a de facto prohibition of synthetic nicotine products by the U.S. FDA, Q4 2021 financial results include a one-time impairment of Lifted Made's investment in tobacco-free nicotine pouch manufacturer SmplyLifted LLC. Without this one-time write-off totaling $388,727, Q4 2021 basic and diluted EPS would have been approximately $0.03 and $0.02 per share higher, respectively
Nicholas S. Warrender, Vice Chairman and COO of LFTD Partners, and founder and CEO of Lifted Made, said, "Our tremendous growth and profitability during 2021 was a reflection of the team and infrastructure that we have built over the years and is a testament to the power of a true consumer-run business. The culture we have created breeds innovation and has set a new benchmark for quality and consumer experience throughout the hemp cannabis industry. Fueled by the momentum of 2021, we expect Q1 2022 to be another record quarter based upon our outstanding sales so far this year, and barring any regulatory setbacks, we expect our 2022 revenue will reach or exceed $75 million. Notably, this 2022 sales projection does not assume any revenue from a groundbreaking new federally compliant psychedelic product that we expect to launch this year that will contain zero cannabinoids and further diversify our portfolio of products."
William C. "Jake" Jacobs, CPA, President and CFO of LFTD Partners, said: "Our balance sheet is strengthening significantly, driven by our EBITDA margin that is typically in excess of 20%. During the past 100 days, we have paid off over $2.5 million of our liabilities and repurchased 100,000 shares of our common stock from an unaffiliated shareholder. And, our cash on hand currently exceeds $4.5 million."
Jake Jacobs continued, "Delta-8-THC is now the principal ingredient in less than 25% of Lifted Made's products, which shows the continuing diversification of Lifted Made's product portfolio. We are continuing to explore a potential borrowing of $5 million or more, that would allow us to prepay our outstanding $2.75 million note payable to Nick Warrender, to purchase Lifted Made's headquarters building in Kenosha for $1.375 million, and to further increase Lifted Made's working capital to facilitate even faster growth. We are also in discussions with our investment bankers regarding a potential listing of our common stock on an exchange, probably sometime later this year."
Gerard M. Jacobs, Chairman and CEO of LFTD Partners, said: "We get approached frequently regarding potential acquisitions of competitors, suppliers and other companies, as well as potential co-branding and joint venture opportunities for our brands. We will continue to explore these situations, preferring immediately accretive deals that would diversify the risk profile of our business and that would add talented entrepreneurs who would thrive in LFTD Partners' decentralized partnership structure."

On March 31st, people around the world take the time to observe Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV).
It's to raise awareness about people who are trans and celebrate their lives, while also drawing attention to instances of poverty, discrimination, and violence that this community often faces.
To learn more about the significance of the day, where it originated, and what it can do for the community, Fox 13 News spoke with Sue Robbins, who serves on the Transgender Advisory Council of Equality Utah.
"We started off in 2009 with our first recognition day Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), which was to honor our dead. We had community members who were murdered, predominantly women of color, and we wanted to have a somber day to recognize that," said Robbins.
Rather than staying focused on the bad though, the transgender community felt they wanted to also celebrate who they are and what they've accomplished in life.
Robbins said, "It's a time to come out and be visible, for those of us that feel safe, to have what we call trans joy and to be in front of people so they can see who we are and see how amazing out community can be."
According to GLAAD, not many Americans say they personally know someone who’s transgender, so the vast majority of the public learns about trans people from the media.
"All these things you hear, the rhetoric and the narratives that go around these bills really isn't true and it kind of demonizes our community and we want you to see who we are and how wonderful we are," said Robbins.
The kinds of bills Sue is referring to are ones like the one passed by the Utah State Legislature to ban transgender children from participating in school sports.
Governor Spencer Cox vetoed the bill, but the the Utah State Legislature voted to override the governor's veto.
More than 200 anti-LGBTQ bills have been filed in 2022 so far, with over half of them specifically targeting trans people, particularly youth.
Robbins said, "A lot of people look at the transgender community as being political from one side or another [...] We are not political, we are just people like everybody else."
According to a 2022 Gallup poll, while only about 30% of the American public says they know a transgender person, that percentage varies by quite a bit when broken down by age.
An example of this is 19% of Americans over the age of 65 claim to know someone who is trans while half of Americans under the age of 30 do.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal officials have revoked the license of a Nevada-based gun manufacturer that was accused of illegally selling guns and went bankrupt but then rebranded itself.
The revocation comes after a lawsuit that alleged the Justice Department didn’t conduct proper oversight before issuing the license.
The decision to revoke the license of JA Industries was spelled out in a court filing late Wednesday as part of the lawsuit brought by Illinois; Kansas City, Missouri; and gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.
The lawsuit alleged that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a law enforcement agency in the Justice Department, awarded the license to JA Industries, renamed from Jimenez Arms, after it violated federal firearms law. The suit also alleged that the company’s guns were contributing to rising violent crime rates in Chicago and Kansas City.
Kansas City and Everytown had sued Jimenez Arms and several gun dealers previously, alleging they contributed to surging gun violence in the Kansas City region by ignoring evidence that guns were being sold illegally in the area. Jimenez Arms filed for bankruptcy about a month after the suit was filed.
That suit contended that Jimenez Arms every year made tens of thousands of cheap handguns that turned up at crime scenes in Kansas City and Chicago “at a rate disproportionate to the company’s market share.”
The plaintiffs alleged in their suit against the ATF that the company’s owner, Paul Jimenez, applied for a new license under the name JA Industries and that it took the ATF less than a month to award the license. The suit alleged that company officials had made false statements to the ATF and had unlawfully shipped guns to a firearms trafficker, which should’ve made the company and its officials ineligible for holding a federal firearms license.
A message seeking comment from JA Industries on Thursday was not immediately returned.
Everytown for Gun Safety heralded the decision to revoke the company’s license.
“We can only hope this decision marks the beginning of a new era at ATF, one that is consistent with President Biden’s commitment to holding rogue and reckless members of the gun industry accountable for breaking the law and putting lives in danger,” said John Feinblatt, Everytown’s president.
In a statement, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said it was a “bold action to stop the flow of illegal firearms into Kansas City.”
An ATF spokesperson, Erik Longnecker, declined to comment specifically, citing the ongoing case. But he said the agency “revokes Federal firearms licensees who are found to have committed willful violations of the Gun Control Act and have an adverse impact on public safety.”

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.

Watches and Wonders 2022: TAG Heuer unveils the Carrera Plasma, their most expensive watch till date which is enriched with lab-grown diamonds, an industry first.
TAG calls it Diamant d’Avant-Garde, but it’s actually history being made. Aspiring to create a new and breathtaking vision of mastering carbon and diamond design as well as cutting-edge light effects, TAG Heuer brings to us, the Carrera Plasma, Diamant d’Avant-Garde, the very first timepiece in watchmaking history to bear lab-grown diamonds, and the most expensive timepiece the brand has ever created. TAG teamed up with Lusix, Capsoul, and Diamaze, who specialize in this cutting-edge diamond technology.
TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma, Diamant d’Avant-Garde
Cased predominantly in 44-mm sandblasted anodized aluminum, it houses TAG’s H02 Tourbillon Nanograph calibre which actually boasts a hairspring made from carbon nanotubes. What’s interesting about this carbon hairspring is the fact that it’s capable of delivering exceptional levels of anti-magnetism, shock resistance, sustainability across temperate ranges, and a refined geometry for excellent chronometric performance.
Blending into the case’s shape itself, are 48 lab-grown diamonds tallying up to 4.8-kt. The indexes are marked with white gold while 12 o’clock gets a double-marker. The polished, rhodium-plated hour and minute hands with matt black lacquer are topped with white Super-LumiNova® and showcase a rhodium-plated central hand. The crown is truly that of a queen, entirely executed in diamond, and might I tell you, a hefty one comprising of 2.5-ct.
Finally, let’s talk about what everyone’s been waiting for – The dial. Based in polycrystalline, it features a buffet full of diamond crystals that create a shimmery, textured effect. On the other hand, the black polycrystalline sub-dial plates offer contrast to this bling, they indicate the chronograph minute and hour counters at three and nine o’clock. Inside and out, the TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma is a masterclass in the use of lab-grown diamonds.
Inside the timepiece, rests TAG Heuer’s in-house Heuer 02 chronograph calibre which runs automatic, promising a 65-hour power reserve which was specially developed for this novelty. All of this is strapped on with an elegant black leather strap that features a titanium grade 2 ADLC-treated clasp.
This could very much so mark the beginning of a new era of sustainable diamond watchmaking led by TAG Heuer.
Stay tuned to Lifestyle Asia India’s Instagram, Twitter, Facebook for more watch updates.

Being wrong about Putin
I was dead wrong, as were most of my friends who specialize in Ukrainian and Russian studies. We couldn’t imagine that Russian President Vladimir Putin would embark on something as foolhardy as a full-scale war against Ukraine. Decades of serious scholarship proved useless. In contrast, those of my friends who predicted an invasion were almost all non-specialists.
The mistake we made was to think that Putin is a rational actor, with rationality being defined in terms of tangible, material costs and benefits. From that point of view, it simply made no sense to embark on an adventure that would result in fierce Ukrainian resistance, many Russian body bags, harmful sanctions, the end of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the galvanization of NATO, and Russia’s transformation into a pariah state. As it turned out, what we predicted would happen did happen — though it obviously failed to deter Putin.
And that’s because, when it comes to Ukraine, Putin is anything but the supposedly calm, cool chess grandmaster able to outwit Americans struggling with checkers. Instead, Putin adopts a wholly different personality that, like Mister Hyde, is driven by passions, appetites, fears and emotions. His public statements and articles clearly show that he denies the very existence of Ukraine and Ukrainians. They are artificial entities foisted upon Russia by dark imperialist powers such as Austria-Hungary, Nazi Germany, the United States, or the “Anglo-Saxons.” In Putin’s mind, Ukraine and Ukrainians are foreign entities that, like cancer, threaten to poison the Russian soul and bring about Russia’s demise.
The rhetoric, as Putin acknowledges in tracing contemporary Russia’s lineage back to the USSR and Imperial Russia, is little different from that employed by czarist and Soviet propagandists. My non-specialist friends saw this and, like those Germans who read “Mein Kampf” and took Adolf Hitler’s ravings seriously, concluded that Putin was an existential threat to Ukraine and, sooner or later, would strive to destroy it. We “specialists” contextualized Putin’s words, tried to comprehend them in relation to the needs of the Russian economy, society and culture, and thereby failed to appreciate them for what they were: a declaration of war against Ukraine and Ukrainians. We overthought Putin and, in doing so, failed to understand what really drives him.
Once this point is accepted, so much of Russia’s behavior over the past year becomes perfectly comprehensible. Last summer’s military exercises along Ukraine’s border were really a prelude to invasion. Russia’s written statements of its security needs, passed on to Washington and NATO last December, were just a ruse to force the West to adopt a position of intransigeance that would serve as a pretext for war. Russian insistence that an invasion was a product of Western hysteria was obviously a prolonged exercise in mendacity. Russia’s absurd claims that Kyiv was committing genocide in the Donbas and that its government consisted of fascists and Nazis made perfect sense for a country seeking to fabricate a casus belli.
Most importantly, Russia’s repeated claims that it genuinely feared NATO membership for Ukraine were a canard, as Washington, Moscow and NATO — as well as Kyiv — knew full well that Ukraine’s chances of joining the alliance in the next 20 years were nil. Ukraine posed no imaginable security threat to Russia, the largest country in the world, possessing a huge army, thousands of nuclear weapons and enormous natural resources. But Ukraine and Ukrainians did pose an existential threat only in Putin’s diseased imagination. And, naturally enough, he responded in the manner that any lifelong KGB agent would have favored: with extreme violence and complete ruthlessness.
That’s something that we also got wrong: the continued reality of violence and war. Our world was supposed to have transcended brute force. It was supposed to consist of amiable governance — and not government — practiced by well-meaning consumers of globalization. As Putin has shown, violence and war are alive and well. And as the mistakes of specialists like me show, sometimes the gut is mightier than the brain.

Burgum: Pembina Gorge Foundation awarded $2.2M grant for improvements at Frost Fire Park
BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Doug Burgum today announced that the Pembina Gorge Foundation has been awarded a nearly $2.2 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for a snowmaking infrastructure improvement and expansion project at Frost Fire Park.
Burgum sent the EDA a letter last June in support of the grant application for the ski resort near Walhalla, N.D., noting the state had legislatively appropriated $1.65 million in funding over the last two biennia for infrastructure enhancements at Frost Fire.
“Frost Fire Park is a hidden gem in heart of the Pembina Gorge in the Rendezvous Region of northeastern North Dakota,” Burgum stated. “We are grateful for the work the Pembina Gorge Foundation has done to continue service and expand operations at Frost Fire. The improvements made in recent years, along with infrastructure work they plan to complete with EDA assistance, will better serve the people of North Dakota and help create healthy, vibrant communities in the region.”
Burgum expressed his gratitude to Red River Regional Council Executive Director Dawn Mandt and the North Dakota Department of Commerce and its Tourism Division for their work on the grant application.

Machine Gun Kelly Met Taylor Hawkins Two Days Before He Died
By Katrina Nattress
March 31, 2022
Since Taylor Hawkins' untimely passing last Friday (March 25), artists have been sharing tributes through social media and live performances, while others recalled memories of the late Foo Fighters drummer. In a recent interview, Machine Gun Kelly opened up about meeting Hawkins just two days before his death.
Both acts were scheduled to play a festival in Paraguay that ended up getting cancelled due to inclement weather. “It sucked because that day was the day the Foo Fighters were playing with us on the same stage,” MGK explained. “I had texted Dave [Grohl] and he was like, ’Yes, I’m gonna come watch the show’. They had never seen the show and that was the day where it was like, ‘Oh my God the Foo Fighters are gonna come watch our show!’"
“We were so excited, man. [But] the rain came and I saw lightning start to happen,” he continued. “So I’m texting Dave and we’re super bummed, and he’s like, ‘Come over to the hotel, we’re going to shut the rooftop down and we’ll have some drinks.'”
“We got out of the elevator, all 20 of [his entourage], and Taylor, Dave, the whole Foo Fighters team… but specifically Taylor, he went up to every single one of us and gave us each our moment," MGK added. "Like, every single one of us, man, down to my assistant – they’re relating over, ‘Oh you’re from Topanga? I’m from Topanga!’ It was like, dude, he’s such a beautiful soul, man...And the last thing [Hawkins] said to [MGK’s drummer] was: ‘I’m just so bummed I didn’t get to see you guys play.’”
After telling the touching story, MGK shared a message to Hawkins’ children: “I really want to thank him and let his kids know that he made us feel — in a time where the outside world, outside of the fans, was really coming in hard on us — he made us feel so confident in ourselves and loved. Your father is a great, great man and we were all lucky to know him, and we all appreciate that night more than anyone will know. That was a dream for us.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO U.S. SECURITYHOLDERS
The financial information included or incorporated by reference in this press release or the documents referenced herein has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differs from US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") in certain material respects, and thus are not directly comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
The disclosure and information contained or referenced herein uses mineral reserve and mineral resource classification terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada, and mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are made in accordance with Canadian NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). These standards differ significantly from the mineral reserve disclosure requirements of the United States Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") set forth in Industry Guide 7. Consequently, information regarding mineralization contained or referenced herein is not comparable to similar information that would generally be disclosed by U.S. companies under Industry Guide 7 in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Further, the SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") and, commencing for registrants with their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, the SEC Modernization Rules replaced the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. As a foreign private issuer that files its annual report on Form 40-F with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. The SEC Modernization Rules include the adoption of terms describing mineral reserves and mineral resources that are "substantially similar" to the corresponding terms under the CIM Definition, but there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules. U.S. investors are also cautioned that while the SEC recognizes "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under the Modernization Rules, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the "inferred mineral resources" exist. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. For the above reasons, information contained or referenced herein regarding descriptions of our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC under either Industry Guide 7 or SEC Modernization Rules.

NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Football Business Awards (FBA), considered the industry's foremost and prestigious accolade, has shortlisted TECNO's #AnnounceYourself Augmented Reality (AR) Campaign for the 2022 Best Brand Activation Involving Football. Blending the most advanced AR immersive technology, a storied club and the aspirations of football fans all over the world, the #AnnounceYourself campaign was a runaway success, catching the eyes of many football executives and professionals all around the world.
Into its 10th year, the FBA celebrates the vital role that clubs and businesses play shaping the football industry, and enabling every game to be a success, both on and off the pitch. It recognizes outstanding successes such as excellence in football media, marketing efficiency, as well as business and technology innovation. With an illustrious judging panel selected for their particular experience and expertise, the FBA has grown into a significant annual networking event in the industry.
In the capacity of being Manchester City's Global Official Handset Partner, TECNO created a metaverse-like experience for fans to interact with the club set in Man City. This AR experience saw fans journeying through the club, in a simulated reality akin to a football metaverse. From visiting the Etihad Stadium and Man City Football Academy training campus, to signing a new contract, selecting their squad number, and mingling with first-team players, the AR campaign accorded football fans a ticket to live out their dreams supporting their favorite club.
Users could also take part in the 3D penalty shootout games before showing off their skills and scores on social media. The AR experience campaign culminated in a grand lucky draw where lucky contestants won rare VIP matchday tickets and travel to a Manchester City home fixture during the season.

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.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal appeals court has granted a request from a northern Virginia school system to continue using a challenged admissions policy at a highly selective high school while it appeals a ruling that found the policy discriminates against Asian American students.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a ruling Thursday that Fairfax County Public Schools can continue to use its new admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.
U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton rejected the new policy in a February ruling, saying that impermissible “racial balancing” was at its core. Commonly known as “TJ,” the prestigious school near the nation’s capital is often ranked as one of the best public high schools in the country.
Earlier this month, Hilton also rejected a request from the school system to delay the implementation of his ruling. But the 4th Circuit, in a 3-2 ruling, said the school board had met the legal requirements for a suspension of Hilton's order while its appeal is pending.
The 4th Circuit panel agreed with school officials who argued that because the selection process for the incoming freshman class is well underway, implementing Hilton's ruling now would throw the process into chaos.
Judge Toby Heytens wrote that he has “grave doubts” about Hilton's conclusions "regarding both disparate impact and discriminatory purpose” of the new admissions policy.
“In my view, appellant Fairfax County School Board is likely to succeed in its appeal,” Heytens wrote.
In a dissenting opinion, Judge Allison Jones Rushing said putting Hilton's ruling on hold while the school board appeals his decision is not in the public interest. Jones said any logistical difficulties or inconvenience associated with changing the admissions policy at this late date “simply do not outweigh the infringement of constitutional rights.”
“And everyone — even temporarily frustrated applicants and their families — ultimately benefits from a public-school admissions process not tainted by unconstitutional discrimination,” Rushing wrote.
The case has been closely watched as courts continue to evaluate the role that racial considerations can play when deciding who should be admitted to a particular school. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a similar case alleging that Harvard University discriminates against Asian Americans in its admissions process.
Fairfield County Public Schools said the order from the 4th Circuit allows the school board to continue with the current application process to select the Class of 2026 this spring.
“For the 2,500+ students in this application pool, this means the race blind process set out by the School Board in October 2020 will remain in place as an appeal challenging the February court decision plays out,” the board said in a news release.
The parents’ group Coalition for TJ, which filed the lawsuit, said the 4th Circuit judges have made a “grave error” in allowing the school system to continue to use its new admissions process.
“If the judges’ decision stands, we would see Fairfax County Public Schools usher in a second class of students to America’s No. 1 public high school through an unconstitutional race-based admissions process,” the coalition said in a statement.
For decades, Black and Hispanic students have been woefully underrepresented in the student body. After criticism over its lack of diversity, the school board scrapped a standardized test that had been at the heart of the admissions process and opted instead for a process that sets aside slots at each of the county’s middle schools. It also includes “experience factors” like socioeconomic background.
The parents’ group argued in its lawsuit that Asian Americans, who constituted more than 70% of the student body, were unfairly targeted in the new policy.
The school’s current freshman class, which was admitted under the new policy, saw a significantly different racial makeup. Black students increased from 1% to 7%; Hispanic representation increased from 3% to 11%. Asian American representation decreased from 73% to 54%.
The school system has insisted that its new policies are race neutral, and the panel evaluating applicants is not even aware of applicants’ race as it conducts its reviews.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A lot is known about the few hours that shook American democracy to the core. The defeated president’s incendiary speech, the march by an angry crowd to the U.S. Capitol, the breaking in, the beating of cops, the “hang Mike Pence” threats, the lawmakers running for their lives, the shooting death of rioter Ashli Babbitt. All of that chaos unfolded over about eight hours on one day: Jan. 6, 2021.
But for all that is known about the day,piecing together the words and actions of Donald Trump over that time has proved no easy task, even though a president’s movements and communications are closely monitored.
There’s a gap in the official White House phone notations given to the House committee investigating Jan. 6 — from about 11 a.m. to about 7 p.m., according to two people familiar with the congressional investigation into the riot. Details may still turn up; the former president was known to use various cell phones and often bypassed the White House switchboard, placing calls directly.
And over the past four-plus months a lot has surfaced about what Trump did do and say on Jan. 6 — in texts, tweets, videos, calls and other conversations.
The following account is based on testimony,timelines and eyewitness reporting gathered by The Associated Press and The Washington Post and CBS News, and from officials and people familiar with the events who spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity.
SORE AT HIS NO. 2
Trump entered the Oval Office at 11:08 a.m. By that time, about 400 pro-Trump demonstrators had already massed at the Capitol. Trump placed a call to Vice President Mike Pence — their only conversation of the day. It didn’t go well: Trump wanted Pence to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, and he was very unhappy the vice president wouldn’t do it.
At 11:38 a.m., the president left the White House to address his rally on the Ellipse, a big grassy oval behind the White House, about a mile or so from the Capitol. It was bitter cold, but that didn’t keep the crowd away. Trump was up on stage by 11:57 and addressed his supporters until about 1:15 p.m.
Among Trump’s challenging final words: “We fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country any more. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country. So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. And we’re going to the Capitol.”
‘THEY’RE THROWING METAL POLES’
Growing crowds were migrating to the Capitol. Almost immediately after Trump concluded, a Capitol Police officer called for backup.
“They’re throwing metal poles at us,” the officer said in a panicked voice. “Multiple law-enforcement injuries.”
Would Trump himself head for the Capitol, as he’d suggested in his speech? It was unclear at first, but his motorcade turned to head back to the White House.
At 1:21 p.m., Trump met with his valet at the White House, logs say. At the Capitol, meanwhile, then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund begged for help from the National Guard as the crowd started to swell around the west side of the building and became increasingly violent.
By then the TV networks had picked up the melee and were broadcasting live as the mob broke through metal police barricades and advanced toward the doors of the building where lawmakers were gathered to certify the presidential election results. The surreal images soon filled television screens throughout the West Wing, where staffers watched, stunned.
LOCKDOWN
By 2 p.m. the U.S. Capitol was locked down. At 2:11, Pence was evacuated. At 2:15, congressional leaders were evacuated. At 2:43, demonstrator Babbitt was shot trying to enter the House chamber through a window broken by the mob.
No official record has surfaced yet of what Trump was doing during this time. The next entry in Trump’s daily diary is not until 4:03 p.m., when he went out to the Rose Garden to tape a public address after frantic urging.
But during this time Trump was hardly idle. He was in touch with lawmakers and he was, according to aides, watching the violence unfold on national television. And he was tweeting.
At 2:28, he tweeted not about the violence but to show his pique at his vice president:
“Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”
At some point, Trump also talked to lawmakers. Republican Kevin McCarthy told a California radio station that he had spoken to the president.
“I was the first person to call him,” McCarthy said. “I told him to go on national TV, tell these people to stop it. He said he didn’t know what was happening.”
Washington Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler said McCarthy relayed that conversation to her. By her account, when McCarthy told Trump it was his own supporters breaking into the building, Trump responded: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”
Trump also talked to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, among other GOP lawmakers. Tuberville later said he spoke to the president while the Senate was being evacuated. Utah Sen. Mike Lee said Trump accidentally called him when he was trying to reach Tuberville.
Others, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, tried but failed to get through to the president.
‘IT HAS GONE TOO FAR’
At 3:14 p.m. a Trump tweet at last made a sideways reference to the havoc. “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”
At some point, he sequestered himself in the dining room off the Oval Office to watch the violence play out on TV, rewinding and re-watching some parts, according to former aides. Unable to get through by other means, allies including his former chief of staff and communications director resorted to tweeting at him to try to get through. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was getting a flurry of texts from lawmakers, from Fox News personalities and even Trump’s own children.
“Hey, Mark, protestors are literally storming the Capitol. Breaking windows on doors. Rushing in. Is Trump going to say something?” reads one text.
“We are all helpless,” says another.
As the violence continued, the president’s elder son texted Meadows:
“He’s got to condemn this s(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk) Asap,” Donald Trump, Jr. texted.
Meadows responded: “I’m pushing it hard. I agree.”
Trump, Jr. texted again and again, urging that his father act:
“We need an Oval address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand.”
‘REMEMBER THIS DAY FOREVER!’
At 4:08 p.m. Trump went out to the Rose Garden. At 4:17 p.m. he released a scripted, pre-recorded video, which included a call for “peace” and “law and order” and finally told his supporters “you have to go home now.”
But they didn’t. Things were still wildly out of control. In fact, the Capitol building was not secured until 5:34 p.m.
At 6:01, Trump’s message was back to indignant: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long,” he wrote. “Remember this day forever!”
At 6:27, he went back to the residence, and started calling his lawyers.
Congress did not resume counting electoral votes until 8 p.m. They finished at 3:40 a.m. and certified Biden as the winner.

Shanghai urges COVID lockdown patience
Shanghai authorities have appealed to residents to maintain cooperating with tight curbs imposed to cease COVID-19 spreading, saying they recognised their frustrations as China’s most populous metropolis enters the fourth day of a lockdown.
The plea for persistence got here because the Chinese monetary hub, residence to 26 million folks, stated its total each day COVID caseload eased, for the primary time in about two weeks, in an outbreak of the extremely contagious Omicron variant that started a few month in the past.
It reported 5298 domestically transmitted new asymptomatic circumstances and 355 symptomatic circumstances for Wednesday, in contrast with 5656 native asymptomatic circumstances and 326 new circumstances with signs reported a day earlier.
Shanghai accounted for nearly 80 per cent of native asymptomatic circumstances reported throughout the entire of China for Wednesday, and about 20 per cent of these with signs.
In a letter to town’s residents, the Shanghai authorities stated it was grateful for residents’ efforts and acknowledged their sacrifices, because it sticks with China’s “dynamic clearance” strategy – detecting the virus, tracing contacts and centrally quarantining all constructive circumstances.
“Pandemic prevention and control work have brought much inconvenience to people,” it stated within the letter, posted to its official WeChat social media account on Thursday.
“Some of you have been in quarantine and lockdown for a long time. The city deeply appreciates everyone’s understanding and cooperation.”
Shanghai is being locked down by splitting town into two roughly alongside the Huangpu River, dividing the historic centre west of the river from the jap monetary and industrial district of Pudong. Authorities say this enables for staggered mass testing.
Movement curbs on residents within the jap districts began on Monday and are set to be lifted at 5am native time on Friday.
Ma Chunlei, deputy secretary normal of the Shanghai authorities, instructed a each day information convention on Thursday that officers would have a look at testing outcomes and seek advice from specialists to find out how the lifting of the primary stage of the lockdown can be carried out.
Areas west of the river shall be locked down from 3am on the identical day, although some housing compounds in western districts already directed residents to remain residence from Wednesday.
Many throughout town have taken to social media to vent their frustrations in lockdown, posting movies and pictures of crowded quarantine centres and likewise issuing requires assist with medical therapy and buying meals.
Business has additionally been disrupted. Volkswagen stated it might partially shut manufacturing at its Shanghai manufacturing unit on Thursday, because of an absence of components from suppliers.
Shanghai authorities official Ma acknowledged that town may have carried out extra, and that authorities have been making an attempt to enhance provision of meals provides in addition to addressing points with looking for medical assist.
“Our knowledge about the highly contagious Omicron variant has been insufficient, we were inadequately prepared for the fast-rising number of infected patients, and our control measures have not been up to speed,” he stated.
Still, regardless of the irritation amongst some in Shanghai who query its practicality, the “dynamic clearance” strategy adopted by China won’t be relaxed, state information company Xinhua stated.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women's college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I ... am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey's response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.
“It's quite shocking that he can't even address trans people or even say that he thinks they exist,” Bridget Sharpe said.
Wednesday's signing of the two transgender bills and a third that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and is currently unconstitutional put Ducey right in the middle of two top issues national Republicans are highlighting in the runup to November's midterm elections.
Ducey also signed election legislation that minority Democrats said amounted to voter suppression by requiring longtime Arizonans to be thrown off the voter rolls if they did not prove their citizenship and residence location.
The governor leads the Republican Governors Association, which is charged with helping elect GOP chief executives in U.S. states. He in is the last year of his second term as Arizona governor and term limits bar him from seeking reelection.
The top Democrat in the state House, Rep. Reginald Bolding, called Wednesday “probably one of the darkest days we've seen in the history of Arizona."
“With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ducey has hurled Arizona backwards to its ugliest past,” Bolding said Wednesday. “And today, he put in jeopardy pregnant people, transgender youth in danger and curtailed voting rights for people of color.”
Social conservative groups and the Arizona Republican Party praised Ducey's action. The Center for Arizona Policy, whose president shepherded the abortion and women's sports bills through the Legislature, called it a victory.
"Thank you, Governor Ducey, for taking a bold stand for women athletes, vulnerable children, and the unborn by putting your signature on (the bills) in the face of intense opposition from activists," Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod said in a news release she posted on Twitter.
She said the legislation protects the unborn, ensures a level playing field for female athletes and shows that “Arizona will do everything it can to protect vulnerable children struggling with gender confusion” by enacting the surgery ban.
Ducey said the surgery ban protects children from irreversible decisions.
“These are permanent surgeries of reassignment that are irreversible, and those discussions can happen once adulthood is reached,” he said.
The American Civil Liberties Association has vowed to sue over the surgery ban. U.S. Supreme Court precedent currently says women have a constitutional right to abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, although it is considering whether to uphold a 15-week ban enacted in Mississippi and may overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision enshrining a woman's right to choose.
Arizona joins 13 other states in enacting laws preventing transgender girls and women from playing on girls teams. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a transgender sports ban in his state, saying it would harm transgender girls, but the Legislature overrode the veto. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb also vetoed a sports bill, but lawmakers hope to override his action as well.

Pentagon needs a six-pillar foundation
The defense budgeting system is more reflective of Soviet-era bureaucratic structures than the vibrant U.S. capitalist model. As illuminated in multiple studies and papers, this antiquated budget system has produced a Joint Force that is rapidly losing its military advantage to advanced peer rivals like China and Russia. More specifically, the current Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) system isn’t timely, strategically aligned, responsive, or transparent.
Currently, it takes up to three years for DOD to generate the annual defense budget and for Congress to review and appropriate funding. This prevents DOD from focusing investments on new priorities, countering emerging threats, or taking advantage of innovative technologies.
The current PPBE system attempts to reconcile Combatant Command “fight tonight” needs with strategic, longer-term investments — but more often fails at both. Defense budgets are often misaligned with strategy, with readiness and capacity being prioritized over much needed modernization.
The system constrains DOD’s ability to maximize resources and prevent the “valley of death” syndrome by requiring baselined acquisition programs, over-prescribing discrete efforts, using regimented research budget activities, employing multiple appropriations, and applying numerous procurement restrictions.
And finally, it incentivizes budgetary processes that are overly opaque, such as unnecessarily classifying information necessary for decision-making. And DOD communicates with Congress using heavily scripted testimony, responses, and briefings — often to the great frustration of congressional staffs.
The good news is the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act authorized the establishment of a PPBE Commission. This independent body will assess the current challenges and develop budget process recommendations that will better deliver the “operational capabilities necessary to outpace near-peer competitors … and support an integrated budget that is aligned with strategic defense objectives.”
We recommend the commission develop recommendations for a modern defense budget with the following six pillars as the foundation:
Pillar #1 – Be strategy-focused
DOD will soon release an updated National Defense Strategy. It’s imperative that the budget align investments with this strategy. Budget deliberations should avoid fixating on minutiae and instead focus on collective investments that provide enduring military advantage to the Joint Force — and create dilemmas for our adversaries.
Pillar #2 – Embrace early collaboration
Just as the commercial sector has learned to embrace collaboration as an effective business-building strategy, senior Joint Service leaders must end the prevailing zero-sum thinking. Doing this requires building continuous dialogue into the process before finalizing budgets.
Pillar #3 – Strive for balanced transparency and action
The intricate level of detail in budget submissions imposes significant time burdens on defense and congressional reviewers, leaving them with poor insight into the issues. Congress has already called for modernizing the process. The modern budget must improve transparency and provide more useful, succinct, and timely information.
Pillar #4 – Shift to value-focused oversight
For decades, a risk-averse culture has dominated defense acquisition. DOD’s byzantine systems demand compliance with cost, schedule and performance baselines. These predictive metrics offer a tempting way to gauge progress and maintain a sense of control. However, despite years of employing this system, acquisition outcomes have not markedly improved. Therefore, oversight must shift from emphasizing conformance to focusing on achieved value. While value will be measured differently for different goods, the focus should be on mission impact relative to investment.
Pillar #5 – View flexibility as a virtue
It’s worth remembering that debates about the level of budget flexibility granted to the Executive Branch date back to the Founding Fathers. Prior to 1962, only defense procurement numbers required congressional authorization. But over the last decade, both authorization and appropriation bills have tripled in size. With the appropriate level of transparency and insight, decision-makers should view flexibility as a virtue to enable more efficient allocation of resources, ease the adoption of new technologies, and respond more rapidly and effectively to new threats.
Pillar #6 – Empower accountability
The modern budget system must promote interactions with acquisition officials closest to the execution level. It must hold these officials accountable while also empowering them with a more public voice. This approach also will provide decision-makers with the most current and nuanced information available.
The United States is currently losing the military-technical competition with China and Russia. The Pentagon needs a major budgeting renovation including bold reforms if we’re to provide the Joint Force the military advantage it needs to deter, and if necessary, defeat our nation’s adversaries.
Matt MacGregor is a subject matter expert on acquisition within MITRE’s Center for Acquisition and Management Sciences and a space operations engineer in the Air Force Reserves. For 21 years, he has been a military and civil service program manager, including the F-35 deputy program manager. His last five years in government before joining MITRE were at the Pentagon, where he served as a division chief in multiple headquarters’ acquisition roles.
Pete Modigliani is MITRE’s software acquisition lead for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. For 24 years, he has been championing strategic acquisition reforms and digital transformations across the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. He is a former Air Force program manager and a former assistant vice president at Alion Science.
Greg Grant is a senior principal for MITRE’s National Security Sector and an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. Previously, he was senior director of strategy at Defense Innovation Unit, and he also served as special assistant to Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work, helping him develop the department’s “Third Offset Strategy.”

Massive Tree Crashes Through Bedroom Where Infant Was Sleeping
By Bill Galluccio
March 31, 2022
A Lousiana family found themselves trapped after a massive tree fell onto their house during severe storms on Wednesday (March 30) morning.
Katie Stewart told KSLA they were getting ready to eat breakfast when they heard a loud crash as the tree slammed through the roof and into the living room. A little while later, Stewart said that an even bigger tree came crashing down on the bedroom where her eight-month-old great-granddaughter Serenity was sleeping.
The family rushed to the bedroom but couldn't get inside. Looking at the damage, they feared the worst.
"When we walked in and saw that tree on the bed, oh lord, that was a bad feeling," Serenity's great grandfather Sam Stewart told the news station.
"Oh my god, we just bust out crying and said, 'She dead, she dead," Katie said.
They managed to access the bedroom by going through the bathroom and were relieved to find Serenity sitting on the bed, completely unharmed.
"It was a blessing. Nothing but the good Lord did this," Katie said.
Serenity's mother, Vanitria, was not home at the time and couldn't believe what had happened.
"[Serenity] was eating breakfast at the table, and they told me [about the incident], and when I looked, I was shook. I was shaken up. I'm still shaken up," she said.
The Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Office said the family has since been rescued from their house and is trying to find another place to stay while the damage is repaired.

Los Angeles-based shoe company hosts virtual auction of limited edition and one-of-a-kind ballet flats to raise awareness with 100% of proceeds supporting Ukrainian people
LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Los Angeles-based shoemaker Tieks announced the launch of #TieksForUkraine, a virtual auction and raffle featuring their famed ballet flats, running from March 31 to April 3. In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, 100% of the auction and raffle proceeds will be donated to World Central Kitchen's #ChefsforUkraine initiative, an on the ground organization providing millions of meals 24/7 to families across all eight border crossings including Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Hungary.

#TieksForUkraine will feature eight total pairs, with seven up for auction and a one-of-a-kind pair for raffle including one limited edition style each of Red Diamond (2017 release), True Love Red (2021 release), Giraffe (2012 release), Toscani, Arabian Night, and Brown and Black Ostrich—two styles that have never been available for sale publicly.

"In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, who have lost so much and shown immense courage and strength, our community wants to be involved in contributing to the Ukrainian people in a meaningful way." Gavrieli added, "My hope is that through the auction proceeds, World Central Kitchen will be able to provide tens of thousands of meals for Ukrainians braving this unimaginable war."

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.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hallaron, a full-service advertising and branding agency in The Woodlands, Texas has begun using digital advertising platforms to serve smaller, local political advertisers. The advantage is using microtargeted geographic and behavioral factors to serve highly custom display and video ads to local voters. The results point to more efficient campaigns that can get better results even with monthly ad spends less than $10,000.
Through a collaborative partnership with Vici Media Inc., based in Philiadelphia, PA, Hallaron began using sophisticated digital platforms including precise targeting tools to serve ads among local county and even city elections in early 2022 primaries. Often reserved for larger business or political clients, Hallaron uses the same big-client ad tools to shape strategy for smaller local low budget campaigns. Often the focus is replacing older marketing thinking with smarter targeting that serves ads to local voters using cell phones and social media instead of billboards or direct mail.
"Our new political campaigns aim to serve voters with ads where they consume daily news and entertainment – that's through their mobile phones and the Internet," explains agency principal Mike Hallaron.
Statista reports that mobile media usage in the United States is set to increase to four hours and 29 minutes per day in 2022. Compare that time with traditional drive time and radio listening, print, or TV viewership.
Because of lengthy Covid-19 shutdowns, Hallaron says many Americans extended their digital and mobile reliance even further – turning to these devices for business, shopping, and reaching the world beyond their front door.
Direct mail is still popular in most small market political races where access to new digital techniques lags behind. Inexpensive yard signs are still widely used but limited. Digital and mobile ads include links to landing pages where voters can watch a candidates videos, read a bio, or review her platform positions on local issues. "When you add a well-executed social strategy on Facebook, the frequency and reach for a small campaign can be game-changing," Hallaron says.
Hallaron's digital partner Vici Media works with nearly 200 ad agencies and media companies in the U.S., serving 3 billion digital ad impressions annually. The company was named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 in 2020. Hallaron sees more clients educating themselves about creative digital media strategies, such as geofencing, mobile conquesting and social mirroring techniques, for example.
Hallaron Advertising Agency is an award-winning full-service ad agency in The Woodlands, Texas. Since 2003, Hallaron has helped reshape winning brands and mastered creative advertising campaigns that lead to better sales and business growth for their clients. Visit www.hallaron.com to learn more.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. airport security procedures will become more gender-neutral, with changes to scanners used for screening and the use of an “X” for travelers going through Precheck who do not identify as male or female, the Biden administration said Thursday.
Transportation Security Administration officers will also receive new instructions on screening intended to make procedures less invasive, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
They are among a series of travel-security measures announced by the department in conjunction with Transgender Day of Visibility. President Joe Biden is marking the day by advocating against what his administration terms “dangerous anti-transgender legislative attacks” that have passed in statehouses across the country.
“DHS is committed to protecting the traveling public while ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender identity, is treated with respect,” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in the statement.
The use of the “X” pronoun in the TSA Precheck advanced security program will begin April 11 and is intended to keep pace with identity documents that already include that option, DHS said. A new “X” gender marker on U.S. passport applications also begins April 11.
Later this year, TSA will begin using scanners with new technology that will replace gender-based systems and are intended to “advance civil rights and improve the customer experience.”
The TSA will work with airlines to promote the acceptance of the “X” gender marker and will also update the guidance for airport security screening officers to remove gender considerations when validating documents, DHS said.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Scott L. Montgomery, University of Washington
(THE CONVERSATION) The Biden administration on March 31, 2022, said it plans to release an unprecedented 180 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to combat the recent spike in gas and diesel prices. About a million barrels of oil will be released every day for up to six months.
If all the oil is released, it would represent almost one-third of the current volume of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It follows a release of 30 million barrels in early March, a large withdrawal until the latest one.
But what is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, why was it created, and when has it been used? And does it still serve a purpose, given that the U.S. exports more oil and other petroleum products than it imports?
As an energy researcher, I believe considering the reserve’s history can help answer these questions.
Origins of the reserve
Congress created the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as part of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 in response to a global oil crisis.
Arab oil-exporting states led by Saudi Arabia had cut supply to the world market because of Western support for Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Oil prices quadrupled, resulting in major economic damage to the U.S. and other countries. This also shook the average American, who had grown used to cheap oil.
The oil crisis caused the U.S., Japan and 15 other advanced countries to form the International Energy Agency in 1974 to recommend policies that would forestall such events in the future. One of the agency’s key ideas was to create emergency petroleum reserves that could be drawn on in case of a severe supply disruption.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act originally stipulated the reserve should hold up to 1 billion barrels of crude and refined petroleum products. Though it has never reached that size, the U.S. reserve is the largest in the world, with a maximum volume of 714 million barrels. The cap was previously set at 727 million barrels.
As of March 25, 2022, the reserve contained about 568 million barrels.
Oil in the reserve is stored underground in a series of large underground salt domes in four locations along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana, and is linked to major supply pipelines in the region.
Salt domes, formed when a mass of salt is forced upward, are a good choice for storage since salt is impermeable and has low solubility in crude oil. Most of the storage sites were acquired by the federal government in 1977 and became fully operational in the 1980s.
History of drawdowns
In the 1975 act, Congress specified that the reserve was intended to prevent “severe supply interruptions” – that is, actual oil shortages.
Over time, as the oil market has changed, Congress expanded the list of reasons for which the Strategic Petroleum Reserve could be tapped, such as domestic supply interruptions due to extreme weather.
Prior to March 2022, about 280 million barrels of crude oil had been released since the reserve’s creation, including a 50 million release that began in November 2021.
There have only been three emergency releases in the reserve’s history. The first was in 1991 after Iraq invaded Kuwait the year before, which resulted in a sharp drop in oil supply to the world market. The U.S. released 34 million barrels.
The second release, of 30 million barrels, came in 2005 after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina knocked out Gulf of Mexico production, which then comprised about 25% of U.S. domestic supply.
The third was a coordinated release by the International Energy Agency in 2011 as a result of supply disruptions from several oil-producing countries, including Libya, then facing civil unrest during the Arab Spring. In all, the agency coordinated a release of 60 million barrels of crude, half of which came from the U.S.
In addition, there have been 11 planned sales of oil from the reserve, mainly to generate federal revenue. One of these – the 1996-1997 sale to reduce the federal budget deficit – seemed to serve political ends rather than supply-related ones.
A better way to avoid pain at the pump
President Joe Biden’s November decision to tap the reserve was also seen as political by Republicans because there was no emergency shortage of supply at that time.
Similarly, the latest historic release of 180 million barrels could also be seen as serving a political purpose – in an election year, no less. But I believe it also seems perfectly legitimate in terms of fulfilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve’s original purpose: reducing the negative impacts of a major oil price shock.
Though the U.S. is today a net petroleum exporter, it continues to import as much as 8.2 million barrels of crude oil every day.
[Over 150,000 readers rely on The Conversation’s newsletters to understand the world. Sign up today.]
But in my view, the best way to avoid the pain of oil price shocks is to lower oil demand by reducing global carbon emissions – rather than mainly relying on releases from the reserve.

Mother Accused Of Trying To Smother Newborn To Death Because It Was 'Evil'
By Bill Galluccio
March 31, 2022
A Nevada woman is facing multiple charges after she allegedly tried to kill her newborn baby because she thought it was "evil." The Las Vegas Metro Police Department said that Ashley Hollingsworth, 22, tried to smother her baby to death with a blanket hours after giving birth.
Hollingsworth gave birth at home and was en route to the hospital when she "wrapped [a] blanket around the baby's head and was pushing the blanket against the baby's face."
Authorities said that the baby made it to the hospital and did not suffer any injuries.
A witness told investigators that Hollingsworth claimed there was "something evil" inside of her that was "trying to kill" her baby. After she was arrested, Hollingsworth told detectives that she believed her child was "probably evil."
"After seeing the baby's eyes, smelling what she described as an abnormal scent, and the baby grunting at her, Ashley decided to wrap the blanket around the baby's head," police wrote in their report, according to KLAS.
Hollingsworth had large bruises around her eyes, which were reportedly self-inflicted when she was taken into custody. She was taken to the hospital, where she "continuously talked about prophecies and other religious ideations."
Hollingsworth was charged with attempted murder and child abuse or neglect. She is being held without bond until her next court hearing.

Sign Dom has lost control
The NSW authorities has didn’t cease a Bill regardless of opposing it in what’s described as an indication the Coalition has misplaced management of parliament.
NSW MPs agreed to alter the state’s structure on Thursday to permit the parliament to take a seat just about in case of an emergency reminiscent of a pandemic lockdown or bushfire disaster.
The change was pushed by the Greens and opposed by the federal government.
But the federal government, whose 45 seats within the decrease home are fewer than the mixed numbers of the opposition and crossbench, allowed the constitutional modification to move with out calling a vote.
It was an try at avoiding an embarrassing defeat on the ground, however the Greens sought to rub it in anyway, saying it was a “clear signal the Coalition has lost its majority”.
“This is the first time in over a decade that a non-government Bill that’s opposed by the government of the day has passed both houses of parliament. It is a case of democracy working,” Greens MP David Shoebridge stated.
Parliament was suspended for a prolonged interval final 12 months after the Delta wave of coronavirus compelled the constructing shut.
“As we recover from months of lockdown when the government literally shut down parliament, we need to think ahead to ensure democracy doesn’t die in the next crisis,” Mr Shoebridge stated.
The authorities stated it wouldn’t assist the change as a result of its ”important penalties … haven’t been totally thought of”.
“One must be very cautious when doing something as serious as this Bill proposes, which is seeking to legislate for future practice and procedure, when that future practice and procedure goes to some of the fundamental tenets of our democratic system of government in NSW,” Liberal MP Gabrielle Upton stated throughout a debate final week.
The modification handed the higher home final 12 months, a distinct chamber of the parliament the place the federal government additionally lacks a majority.
Thursday’s passage via the decrease home occurred as Premier Dominic Perrottet was off on paternity go away.
Mr Perrottet has misplaced quite a lot of supporting MPs in current months, together with the consultant for the seat of Bega which flipped to Labor throughout a by-election and the member for Kiama, who was first moved to the crossbench after which suspended from parliament.
Acting Premier Paul Toole was contacted for remark.

Russia, Ukraine and nuclear weapons
A few days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as North American and European leaders met at the annual Munich Security Conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin sat in a control room with President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, personally overseeing a test launch of nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles.
The message was clear. To Russia, Ukraine is part of a larger, Cold War-style, super-power confrontation, where Russia claims “interests” far beyond its borders and can decide to take military action and even make nuclear threats to assert them. Russia demonstrated this by its demands to NATO in December, and now, by its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in direct violation of international law.
Ukraine will not be the only hotspot in this new Cold War, which raises nuclear tensions and increases the risk of escalation and/or miscalculation touching off nuclear war. Neither side wants that. What steps can we take to lower nuclear risks now?
Putin wants to restore the Soviet empire in Europe and Eurasia and drive the United States out of Europe. And he has a partner in China, which supports Russia on Ukraine and whose trade with Russia can offset economic damage from Western sanctions. Russia supports China on Taiwan. The recent Sino-Russian pact has aptly been described as the beginning of Cold War Two. After Ukraine, Russia may set its sights on other parts of the former Soviet bloc.
We can’t allow aggression with impunity — but if Russia and China return to Cold War-type geopolitics, we also can’t risk a return to Cold War nuclear politics.
The first Cold War came perilously close to nuclear exchange on at least 13 occasions. Several times, only sheer good luck prevented a holocaust. Reagan wrote in his diary after a harrowing near miss in 1983, “Six minutes to decide how to respond to a blip on a radar scope and decide whether to unleash Armageddon! How could anyone apply reason at a time like that?”
Russian aggression against Ukraine must be reversed through legal and political mechanisms provided in the UN Charter. Russia and China have veto power in the UN Security Council, but they have no power to stop the UN General Assembly from acting. Whatever we do, the threat of nuclear war must be kept off the table. We must reduce the risk of the Ukraine conflict — or any other conflict involving nuclear armed states — going nuclear.
President Biden and Putin invoked Reagan and Gorbachev when they stated in June 2021 that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” They reiterated that pledge on Jan. 3, 2022 in a joint statement with China, France, and the UK.
Yet they maintain policies and practices that signal willingness to use nuclear weapons. In recent days, Russia conducted massive drills of its strategic nuclear forces. The Biden administration will soon release its Nuclear Posture Review, which is expected to double down on funding for modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal, including a major program to build a new intercontinental ballistic missile.
Both sides envision the possibility of a pre-emptive or first use of nuclear weapons in a conflict. Some of their nuclear weapons are kept in readiness to be launched within minutes. The U.S. and Russia terminated the Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty in 2019, removing important assurances concerning non-strategic nuclear weapons in Europe. In addition to sanctions, Washington has mentioned “enhanced deterrence” measures. Could they include forward deployment of nuclear weapons? Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany floated the idea that if it isn’t allowed to join NATO, it might need to consider re-nuclearizing.
For its part, in the run-up to the invasion, Russia indicated it might reserve the option of deploying nuclear weapons closer to the U.S. Putin’s Feb. 24 speech pointed out Russia is still “one of the most powerful nuclear powers,” and threatened any outsiders who would interfere with “consequences greater than any you have faced in history.” On Feb. 28, Russia put its nuclear forces on heightened alert.
Such signals compound nuclear dangers, which were already elevated before the Ukraine crisis. In January the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists announced that its Doomsday Clock would stay set at 100 seconds to midnight for the third year in a row — closer to midnight than ever in its history.
It would send a much more constructive signal if nuclear weapons states refrained from making nuclear threats, and if the U.S. and Russian governments announced they each have their own no-first-use policies (i.e., that they would not be the first to use nuclear weapons). This wouldn’t eliminate nuclear risks overnight, but it would help restore some confidence in the NPT and the arms control regime.
A recent open letter, endorsed by over 1,100 signatories from 69 countries including Nobel laureates and former government ministers, urged nuclear weapons states to fulfill their NPT commitments and phase out nuclear weapons’ role in security, starting with no-first-use policies. “First-use options are literally playing with fire in very combustible situations,” they warned. No-first-use policies could defuse these risks and help keep alive the NPT goal of eliminating nuclear arsenals.
If that sounds naive at this tense moment in history, consider the alternative. And consider what four of the most experienced and tough-minded U.S. officials — former national security advisor McGeorge Bundy, former ambassador to the Soviet Union George Kennan, former secretary of defense Robert McNamara, and Gerard Smith, negotiator of the first Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty — said in a similarly tense moment: “Any use of nuclear weapons in Europe, by the alliance or against it, carries with it a high and inescapable risk of escalation into general nuclear war which would bring ruin to all and victory to none,” they wrote in 1982. “So, it seems timely to consider the possibilities, the requirements, the difficulties, and the advantages of a policy of no-first-use.”
Ambassador (ret.) Thomas Graham is a former senior U.S. diplomat who was involved in the negotiation of every single international arms control and nonproliferation agreement from 1970 to 1997.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Tony Evers filed a motion Thursday with the state Supreme Court urging the justices to affirm his legislative district boundary map that the U.S. Supreme Court rejected.
The state Supreme Court adopted Evers’ map in March, choosing his plan over Republican lawmakers’ proposal. But the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Evers’ map on March 23 after the GOP complained it increased the number of Assembly districts with a majority of Black and Hispanic voters from six to seven in Milwaukee in violation of the federal Voting Rights Act. The federal justices kicked the case back to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Evers argued in his motion Thursday that the state justices should affirm their earlier decision. He maintained that seven minority districts are justified because six would improperly dilute their votes under the Voting Rights Act. He included with the motion a report from Lisa Handley, an elections consultant who has served in a number of redistricting and voting rights cases, backing up his claim.

BOSTON (AP) — A bill aimed at banning discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles in workplaces, school districts, and school-related organizations was unanimously approved Thursday by the Massachusetts Senate.
The vote comes two weeks after the Massachusetts House approved a similar bill.
Supporters say Black women in particular have faced pressure in school and the workplace to alter their hair to conform to policies biased against natural hairstyles.
The Senate added a provision to the House version of the bill that would include the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to the list of school entities banned from adopting and implementing restrictions on natural hairstyles.
Advocates say the change will ensure those participating in sports and extracurricular activities will not be asked to change their natural or protective hairstyles in order to participate.
The bill has its roots in the case of a Massachusetts charter school that came under fire in 2017 for a policy of banning hair braid extensions. After intense criticism, the school abandoned the policy.
The U.S. House also approved a bill earlier this month that would bar discrimination against Black people who wear hairstyles like Afros, cornrows or tightly coiled twists in society, school and the workplace. The federal bill would explicitly say that such discrimination is a violation of federal civil rights law.
President Joe Biden has said he would sign the bill into law. It now heads to the U.S. Senate.
Lawmakers in the Massachusetts House and Senate now have to come up with a single version of the bill before taking a final vote and shipping it to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker for his signature.
If signed into law, Massachusetts would become the fifteenth state to adopt the measure, known as the CROWN Act.

OAKLAND, Calif. and TORONTO, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Harborside Inc. ("Harborside", or the "Company") (CSE: HBOR) (OTCQX: HBORF), a California-focused, vertically-integrated cannabis enterprise, is pleased to announce that it has completed the mandatory conversion of all of its issued and outstanding multiple voting shares (the "MVS") to subordinate voting shares (the "SVS") (the "Mandatory Conversion"). The Mandatory Conversion will result in each holder of MVS being entitled to 100 SVS for each MVS it holds. In addition, all warrants previously exercisable into MVS are now exercisable into SVS. The Mandatory Conversion was approved at the Special Meeting of Shareholders held February 22, 2022.
"The completion of the Mandatory Conversion represents an important milestone for the Company, as we prepare to relaunch as StateHouse Holdings," said Ed Schmults, CEO of Harborside. "Our shareholders strongly indicated their views that the Company should have only one class of shares outstanding and we are pleased to have accomplished this objective, which is also expected to increase trading liquidity and make our shares increasingly attractive to the investment community."
As a result of the Mandatory Conversion, the Company will no longer meet the definition of "foreign private issuer" under U.S. securities laws and will be required to register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the Company will eventually be subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") reporting requirements applicable to U.S. domestic companies. The SEC's reporting requirements require, among other things, Harborside's financial statements and financial data to be presented under U.S. GAAP.
For the latest news, activities, and media coverage, please visit the Harborside corporate website at http://www.investharborside.com or connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This news release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of the applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and are based on expectations, estimates, and projections as at the date of this news release. Any statement that involves discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often but not always using phrases such as "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "budget", "scheduled", "forecasts", "estimates", "believes" or "intends" or variations of such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or results "may" or "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken to occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. In this news release, forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to increased trading liquidity due to the Mandatory Conversion, and the impact of the Mandatory Conversion on the Company's reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws.
These forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company at the time such statements were made. Actual future results may differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to materially differ from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors, among other things, include: whether the Company will receive additional voting support agreements for matters to be considered by shareholders at the Meeting; implications of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; expectations regarding the size of the cannabis markets where the Company operates; changing consumer habits; the ability of the Company to successfully achieve its business objectives; plans for expansion and acquisitions; political and social uncertainties; inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and hazards; employee relations; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on cultivation, production, distribution, and sale of cannabis and cannabis-related products in the markets where the Company operates; and the risk factors set out in the Company's management discussion and analysis for the period ended September 30, 2021 and the Company's listing statement dated May 30, 2019, which are available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what management of the Company believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure shareholders that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking statements, as there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements and information contained in this news release. The Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements of beliefs, opinions, projections, or other factors, should they change, except as required by law.
The Company, through several of its subsidiaries, is indirectly involved in the manufacture, possession, use, sale, and distribution of cannabis in the recreational and medicinal cannabis marketplace in the United States. Local state laws where the Company operates permit such activities however, investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable United States federal money laundering legislation.
While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with recreational and medicinal cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under United States federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of the Company and any proceedings brought against the Company thereunder may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States. The Company's securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
The CSE has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this news release. Neither the CSE nor its Market Regulator (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said Thursday he will meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Brussels next week to lay the groundwork for peace talks to end the decades-long conflict over the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The two leaders will meet in Brussels on April 6 with European Council President Charles Michel.
There have been recent clashes that have raised concerns about the stability of a cease-fire that ended the 2020 war over the separatist region.
“I hope to discuss at this meeting with the president of Azerbaijan and agree on all issues related to the start of negotiations on a peace agreement,” Pashinyan told a government meeting Thursday. He said Armenia “is ready for the immediate start of peace negotiations.”
Fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces reignited in Nagorno-Karabakh this month, and three soldiers in the breakaway region were killed last week.
More than 6,600 people were killed in the six-week war in 2020 that ended with Azerbaijan reclaiming control over large parts of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas that the Armenia-backed separatists controlled.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have been locked in a decades-old dispute over the separatist region, which lies within Azerbaijan but was under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994.
The cease-fire in 2020 was mediated by Russia, which then sent some 2,000 troops it called peacekeepers to the region.
Tensions on the two nations’ shared border have been building since May, when Armenia protested what it described as an incursion by Azerbaijani troops into its territory. Azerbaijan has insisted that its soldiers were deployed to what it considers its territory in areas where the border has yet to be demarcated.
Clashes have been reported ever since, and they intensified this month as Russia became increasingly bogged down in its invasion of Ukraine.

New Ol' Dirty Bastard Documentary Features Unseen Footage Of Late Rapper
By Tony M. Centeno
March 31, 2022
The life and times of Ol' Dirty Bastard will be highlighted in an all-new documentary that's in the works.
According to a report The Hollywood Reporter published on Thursday, March 31, A&E Network is preparing to release their new installment of Biography featuring the fallen Wu-Tang Clan rapper. Biography: Ol' Dirty Bastard is the first documentary that's received the blessing of the late artist's estate. The documentary is expected to feature never-before-seen footage of the rapper that was shot by his wife, Icelene Jones.
“I am thrilled to tell the full story of my husband,” Icelene said in a statement. “With this documentary, the world will learn about the son, husband, father and artist. I’m proud of the team that we built, including Pulse, my production partners Nicole Beckett and Messiah Jacobs at Four Screens, and our directing team, the Pollards.”
A&E tells the story of the legendary ODB like never before. “Biography: Ol’ Dirty Bastard” will be the first official feature documentary about the Grammy-nominated musician and legendary founding member of the iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. Coming to A&E in 2023. pic.twitter.com/2DD3MHUarc
— A&E (@AETV) March 31, 2022
ODB was one of the founding members of Wu-Tang Clan. The Fort Greene, NY native began his solo career a couple years after Wu-Tang dropped their debut album. His first solo LP Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version dropped in 1995 and features his breakthrough single "Shimmy Shimmy Ya." He gained more notoriety when he jumped on the remix to Mariah Carey's "Fantasy." After dropping other notable songs over the years like "Got Your Money" featuring Kelis and "Ghetto Superstar" with Pras Michel and Mya, Ol' Dirty Bastard passed away age two days before his 36th birthday in 2004 due to a drug overdose.
Biography: Ol' Dirty Bastard is produced by The Pulse Films, Four Screens and the Ol’ Dirty Bastard Estate and is co-directed by Emmy and Peabody Award winner Sam Pollard and his son, Jason Pollard. Pulse was responsible for other popular powerful productions like Beastie Boys Story, Beyoncé’s Lemonade and Katy Perry’s Part of Me. Look out for the documentary to debut next year.

The terms of the JOGMEC joint venture agreement with the Company stipulate that JOGMEC provides $3,000,000 in Term 1 and $7,000,000 in Term 2 to earn a 40% interest in the Lofdal project. Term 3 calls for a further $10,000,000 of expenditures to earn an additional 10% interest. JOGMEC can also purchase another 1% for $5,000,000 and has first right of refusal to fully fund the project through to commercial production and to purchase all production at market prices. The collective interests of NMI and historically disadvantaged Namibians cannot be diluted below a 26% carried working interest upon payment of $5,000,000 to JOGMEC for the dilution protection. The JV Agreement is structured such that no NMI equity will be issued and it is totally non-dilutive to NMI shareholders. To date, JOGMEC, has approved funding Term 1 and 2 expenditures totaling $6,600,000.
Gold: The Company's Exclusive Prospecting Licenses ("EPLs") prospective for gold are located in the Central Namibian Gold Belt which hosts a number of significant orogenic gold deposits including the Navachab Gold Mine, the Otjikoto Gold Mine and more recently the discovery of the Twin Hills deposit. At the Erongo Gold Project, stratigraphic equivalents to the meta-sediments hosting the recent Osino gold discovery at Twin Hills have been identified and exploration is progressing over this highly prospective area. The Grootfontein Base Metal and Gold Project has potential for magmatic copper-nickel mineralization, Mississippi Valley-type zinc-lead-vanadium mineralization and Otjikoto-style gold mineralization. Interpretation of geophysical data and regional geochemical soil sampling have identified first gold targets.
Tantalum-Niobium: The Epembe Tantalum-Niobium-Uranium Project is at an advanced stage with a well-defined, 10 km long carbonatite dyke that has been delineated by detailed mapping and radiometric surveys and over 11,000 meters of drilling. Preliminary mineralogical and metallurgical studies including sorting tests (XRT), indicate the potential for significant physical upgrading. Further work will be undertaken to advance the project to a preliminary economic assessment stage.

Many patients have died in recent days at a large Shanghai elderly-care hospital that is battling a COVID-19 outbreak, according to people familiar with the situation, a sign that a new wave of infections is hitting China’s financial capital harder than authorities have publicly disclosed.
Shanghai’s government hasn’t reported any COVID-related deaths or outbreaks in its hundreds of elderly-care centers since cases began climbing in the city in March. Six replacement orderlies at the city’s Donghai Elderly Care Hospital, brought in after previous caretakers were sent away to quarantine, told The Wall Street Journal that they had witnessed or heard of the recent removal of several bodies from the facility, where they said at least 100 patients had tested positive for COVID-19.
It couldn’t be determined whether the deaths were caused by COVID infections or other chronic illnesses. The hospital doesn’t publicize data on deaths, making it difficult to compare the recent rate of patient deaths with previous periods. Some relatives of patients said their loved ones were left unattended after infected caretakers were quarantined.
City health officials haven’t acknowledged the rapid spread of infections at the facility. The government reported two new COVID cases at an address matching that of Donghai Hospital on March 16 and 17. In subsequent days, the government listed the address as a location where infections had been reported, but didn’t say how many cases were recorded.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri nonprofit that was at the center of a corruption probe that involved several legislators is paying more than $8 million to the federal government and the state of Arkansas under an agreement with prosecutors announced Thursday.
Federal prosecutors announced the non-prosecution agreement with Preferred Family Healthcare, which agreed to forfeit more than $6.9 million to the federal government and pay more than $1.1 million in restitution to Arkansas.
The Missouri-based mental health care provider operated 50 clinics throughout Arkansas until October 2018 and no longer operates in the state. Prosecutors on Thursday said under the agreement, PFH admitted that its former officers and employees conspired to embezzle funds from the charity and bribe Arkansas legislators.
Several former executives from the charity, former Arkansas legislators and other have pleaded guilty in federal court as part of the corruption probe.
A lobbyist pleaded guilty in 2019 to bribing three Arkansas lawmakers, including the governor’s nephew, to benefit PFH. The lobbyist, Rusty Cranford, was sentenced to seven years in prison and in August was released to serve the remainder of his sentence from home.
Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge in 2020 announced the firm had reached $6.5 million in federal and state settlements following an investigation by Rutledge's office into false Medicaid claims made by former PFH employees.

Juan Williams: Biden may be Comeback Kid of midterms
A friend surprised me last week.
President Biden’s low poll numbers, he said, are the springboard for a story Americans love — the Comeback Kid.
That’s the total opposite of today’s conventional wisdom that Biden is about to fall into a political hellhole of big losses in the midterms.
{mosads}My friend’s thinking is in line with former President George W. Bush’s complaint that people always “misunderestimated” him.
The idea that Biden is on the brink of a comeback begins with the president outfoxing Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
Biden’s steady hand is punishing Putin for starting a war while avoiding any aggressive act the Russian president might use to justify his attack on Ukraine. And Biden is keeping European allies together to impose sanctions and strengthen NATO.
It was Biden who got a standing ovation from Republicans and Democrats at his State of the Union address for saying Putin made a mistake in thinking “he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over.”
And in case you have not noticed, Republicans and right-wing talk hosts have spent the last week walking away from earlier claims that Biden exaggerated the threat of Russian invasion.
They are running away from former President Trump, who after seeing reporting on the start of the invasion, praised Putin’s strategic “genius.” Mike Pompeo, Trump’s former Secretary of State, also praised Putin in January as a man who “knows how to use power — we should respect that.”
And Republicans are sprinting away from Stephen Bannon, a former Trump advisor, who called for Biden to be impeached for “instigating this war in Ukraine.”
Similarly, J.D. Vance, the Trump-style Republican campaigning for Senate in Ohio, is doing an about-face after saying “I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other.”
While the GOP is busy cleaning up that mess, Biden is approaching several potential victories on the domestic political front.
Women, Black voters, and even the most far left of his base are going to get a political jolt with the potential confirmation of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic hearings will get strong media attention. It will be noted that Biden has appointed 40 federal judges in his first year — the most of any president in their first year since Ronald Reagan.
Another Biden victory is on the horizon as the pandemic eases.
Until now, any credit due Biden for success in getting most Americans vaccinated has been obscured by Republicans creating fights over vaccinations, mask-wearing and social distancing.
Now mandates are going away. Schools are open. Basketball games are packed. Biden may finally get some credit.Then there is the economy.
Even with inflation, the Biden economy remains strong, with unemployment near historic lows, rising wages and strong consumer spending, in part thanks to the coronavirus relief package that he passed.
That economic package is often overlooked by reporters, but it served as a lifeline for millions of Americans through the pandemic’s darkest days.
And gloom over the Democrats’ failure to pass the president’s Build Back Better plan also has a chance to turn to smiles at a Rose Garden ceremony.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said last week he is open to a smaller plan to lower prescription drug prices, fight inflation and act on climate change.
Any small victory on that front would mean that Biden had passed three big bills in his first two years in office: COVID-19 relief, infrastructure, and some part of his domestic agenda.
Biden will be able to say he has been at work while the GOP has idled.
“What are they for? Name me one thing they’re for,” he said during a January news conference.
Last week, Biden’s point got a burst of attention when a proposed GOP agenda provoked a public split.
{mossecondads}Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) scolded Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, for releasing an agenda that in McConnell’s words, “raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare after five years.”
Democrats are already running advertisements to let voters know about the plan.
With no agenda of their own, Republicans have attacked Biden and Democrats by tying them to the fringe left chant of “Defund the Police.”
But Biden told the massive audience for the State of the Union speech, “The answer is not to defund the police. The answer is to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.”
Those comments prompted a large ovation. Meanwhile, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) further damaged the Republican brand by heckling Biden as he spoke about his dead son.
At other points during the address, Boebert sought to get a chant going along with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who was recently called out for speaking at a conference organized by a white nationalist.
The more I watch Biden, the more I agree that Democrats have a chance in the midterms. It starts with party messaging that defines Biden as the right man to lead the nation at this moment: a can-do pragmatist successfully handling Russia, COVID-19, jobs, and inflation.
By November, President Biden may be the latest Comeback Kid.
