LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
“They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment," Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.”
But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea.
“He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. "And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.”
The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night's ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer's interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned.
The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television."
Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so.
Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary.
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18.
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.”

Livent (LTHM) closed at $26.07 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.46% move from the prior day. This move was narrower than the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.57%. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 1.56%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.1%.
Heading into today, shares of the supplier of performance lithium compounds had gained 18.35% over the past month, outpacing the Basic Materials sector's gain of 9.98% and the S&P 500's gain of 5.37% in that time.

This would mark year-over-year growth of 600%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $138.1 million, up 50.6% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $0.61 per share and revenue of $577.43 million. These totals would mark changes of +238.89% and +37.35%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Livent. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.

BERLIN (AP) — The operator of Frankfurt Airport said Thursday that it is selling its minority stake in China’s Xi’an Airport after failing to expand its business in the huge Chinese market.
Fraport AG said it is selling its 24.5% stake in the airport’s operating company to Chang’an Huitong Co. Ltd. for 1.11 billion yuan ($175 million).
CEO Stefan Schulte said Xi’an “gave us an opportunity to showcase our expertise in airport management,” with passenger numbers more than quadrupling to over 40 million per year over the 14 years since Fraport acquired its stake.
“We always regarded our minority stake in Xi’an as a starting point for expanding our business in China,” Schulte said in a statement.
“However, this never materialized in Xi’an or at any other Chinese airport,” he added. “Consequently, we have now decided to cease our activities in the Chinese market.”
Fraport said the Xi’an operating company, Xi’an Xianyang International Airport Co. Ltd., expects the transaction to be concluded during the second quarter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday ordered the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve for six months, a bid to control energy prices that have spiked after the United States and allies imposed steep sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The president said it was not known how much gasoline prices could decline as a result of his move, but he suggested it might be "anything from 10 cents to 35 cents a gallon." Gas is averaging about $4.23 a gallon, compared with $2.87 a year ago, according to AAA.
"The bottom line is if we want lower gas prices we need to have more oil supply right now," Biden said. "This is a moment of consequence and peril for the world, and pain at the pump for American families."
The president also wants Congress to impose financial penalties on oil and gas companies that lease public lands but are not producing. He said he will invoke the Defense Production Act to encourage the mining of critical minerals for batteries in electric vehicles, part of a broader push to shift toward cleaner energy sources and reduce the use of fossil fuels.
The actions show that oil remains a vulnerability for the U.S. Higher prices have hurt Biden's approval domestically and added billions of oil-export dollars to the Russian government as it wages war on Ukraine.
Tapping the stockpile would create pressures that could reduce oil prices, though Biden has twice ordered releases from the reserves without causing a meaningful shift in oil markets. Biden said Thursday he expects gasoline prices could drop "fairly significantly."
Part of Biden's concern is that high prices have not so far coaxed a meaningful jump in oil production. The planned release is a way to increase supplies as a bridge until oil companies ramp up their own production, with administration officials estimating that domestic production will grow by 1 million barrels daily this year and an additional 700,000 barrels daily in 2023.
The markets reacted quickly with crude oil prices dropping about 6% in Thursday trading to roughly $101 a barrel. Still, oil is up from roughly $60 a year ago, with supplies failing to keep up with demand as the world economy has begun to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic. That inflationary problem was compounded by Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which created new uncertainties about oil and natural gas supplies and led to retaliatory sanctions from the U.S. and its allies.
Stewart Glickman, an oil analyst for CFRA Research, said the release would bring short-term relief on prices and would be akin to "taking some Advil for a headache." But markets would ultimately look to see whether, after the releases stop, the underlying problems that led to Biden's decisions remain.
"The root cause of the headache is probably still going to be there after the medicine wears off," Glickman said.
Biden has been in talks with allies and partners to join in additional releases of oil, such that the world market will get more than the 180 million barrels total being pledged by the U.S.
Americans on average use about 21 million barrels of oil daily, with about 40% of that devoted to gasoline, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That total accounts for about one-fifth of total global consumption of oil.
Domestic oil production is equal to more than half of U.S. usage, but high prices have not led companies to return to their pre-pandemic levels of output. The U.S. is producing on average 11.7 million barrels daily, down from 13 million barrels in early 2020.
Republican lawmakers have said the problem results from the administration being hostile to oil permits and the construction of new pipelines such as the Keystone XL. Democrats say the country needs to move to renewable energy such as wind and solar that could reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and Putin's leverage.
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., blasted Biden's action to tap the reserve without first taking steps to increase American energy production, calling it "a Band-Aid on a bullet wound."
Daines called Biden's actions "desperate moves" that avoid what he called the real solution: "investing in American energy production," and getting "oil and gas leases going again."
The administration says increasing oil output is a gradual process and the release would provide time to ramp up production. It also wants to incentivize greater production by putting fees on unused leases on government lands, something that would require congressional approval.
Oil producers have been more focused on meeting the needs of investors than consumers, according to a survey released last week by the Dallas Federal Reserve. About 59% of the executives surveyed said investor pressure to preserve "capital discipline" amid high prices was the reason they weren't pumping more, while fewer than 10% blamed government regulation.
In his remarks Thursday, Biden tried to shame oil companies that he said are focused on profits instead of putting out more barrels, saying that adding to the oil supply was a patriotic obligation.
"This is not the time to sit on record profits: It's time to step up for the good of your country," the president said.
The steady release from the reserves would be a meaningful sum and come near to closing the domestic production gap relative to February 2020, before the coronavirus caused a steep decline in oil output.
Still, the politics of oil are complicated with industry advocates and environmentalists both criticizing the planned release. Groups such as the American Petroleum Institute want to make drilling easier, while environmental organizations say energy companies should be forced to pay a special tax on windfall profits instead.
The administration in November announced the release of 50 million barrels from the strategic reserve in coordination with other countries. And after the Russia-Ukraine war began, the U.S. and 30 other countries agreed to an additional release of 60 million barrels from reserves, with half of the total coming from the U.S.
According to the Department of Energy, which manages it, more than 568 million barrels of oil were held in the reserve as of March 25. After the release, the government would begin to replenish the reserve once prices have sufficiently fallen.
News of the administration's planning was first reported by Bloomberg.

UN: Almost 400 civilians killed since Taliban takeover of Afghanistan
Almost 400 civilians have been killed since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August, according to the United Nations.
The U.N.’s first major human rights report since the U.S. withdrawal from Kabul indicated that more than 80 percent of the civilians were killed at the hands of a group affiliated with the Islamic State.
More than 50 people with suspected ties to the Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) were also killed from Aug. 15 to Feb. 15, including some who were tortured and beheaded before their bodies were left in public locations.
“The human rights situation for many Afghans is of profound concern,” Michelle Bachelet, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, said in a news release.
Bachelet pointed in particular to concerns over the treatment of women in Afghanistan, calling for them to be allowed “to fully participate in all aspects of civic, economic, political and public life.”
At the end of last month, the Taliban said women were only permitted to travel with a chaperone and announced that it would no longer allow Afghans to leave the country without a good reason.
“The government is obliged to find out a way to protect their people,” Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said of the decision, citing religious laws.
Since the Taliban took over Kabul in August, thousands of Afghans have escaped the country, especially those who are fearful of the consequences of their past connections to the U.S.
In recent months, Afghanistan has been on the brink of economic collapse and has also suffered a severe humanitarian crisis, with the United Nations warning in September that 1 million Afghans were near starvation at the time.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Todd Bowles earned his way in the NFL on the defensive side of the ball.
He’s not afraid to talk offense.
The new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won’t be shy about sharing his ideas with offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and quarterback Tom Brady.
“I’m the head coach. I get to do whatever I want,” Bowles said Thursday, a day after taking over because Bruce Arians moved into a front-office role. “I’m not going to call plays. I understand that. But I have input on how defenses are trying to attack them. I have input on certain situations going into the half, two-minute or third downs or going for it or not going for it and those types of things. That’s my job and I have the freedom to do that. At the same time, I understand and respect Byron and Tom a great deal and they know that. I think we’re off to a good start from a communication standpoint and we just have to keep building.”
Bowles gets a second opportunity after going 24-40 in four seasons with the New York Jets from 2015 through 2018. He also was an interim head coach in Miami for three games in 2011. He becomes only the 12th minority to get a second head coaching opportunity since 1963, according to data in the NFL’s 2022 Diversity and Inclusion Report.
“When I first started in New York, you try to do things the right way and you don’t do it your way, you end up having regret. So I’m going to do it my way,” Bowles said.
Arians joined Bowles at his introductory news conference and learned the Buccaneers will induct him into the team’s Ring of Honor this season. Brady also was in attendance.
Arians, who turns 70 this year, said his decision to step down as coach was about “succession” and making sure he turned the team over to Bowles with an opportunity to succeed. When Brady unretired on March 13, Arians realized the time was right.
“Succession is way important to me,” Arians said. “This has been my dream for a long time. Guys that know me, they knew I wanted one of my guys to take over.”
Arians dismissed reports of friction with Brady, saying it “couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Bowles and Arians have a relationship that dates more than 40 years. Bowles played safety for Arians at Temple in the 1980s and was defensive coordinator on Arians’ staff in Arizona before joining him in Tampa.
“He is the most influential coaching figure and father figure that I have ever had in this league,” Bowles said, adding that it was a bittersweet feeling when he got the news from Arians.
Bowles made it clear he has a different personality than Arians.
“The only thing we have in common is our bald heads,” Bowles said. “He smokes, I don’t. He drinks, I don’t. So, we never got in each other’s way.”
Arians led the Buccaneers to their second Super Bowl title in 2020 and an NFC South title in 2021. With Brady back, Bowles takes over a team that has championship aspirations.
“Good players make good coaches so you always want to have good players,” Bowles said. “I’m not going to apologize for inheriting a talented team. I’ve had less success with a team. It’s different to the fact that I don’t think I can go into this trying to be Bruce. I would fail miserably if I tried. … I can be me.
“I understand a lot of things I’ve learned from my coaching experience, especially from him so I’m going to take that approach. The one thing I know is I know I can coach football players regardless if you’re an All-Pro or a rookie. All of your players want to be coached and help them get better. I can help people get better and I’m going to use my approach.”

Which wheel cleaner is best?
Chrome and polished aluminum wheels are popular car modifications that can be buffed to a mirror finish. But to properly show off your rims, you’ll need to put in a little elbow grease with some good cleaner. Not only will it keep your wheels sparkling, but it will also help protect them from corrosive contaminants on the road.
Chrome and aluminum require specially tailored formulas, which can make choosing the proper cleaner complicated — it’s the difference between restoring your wheels’ luster and destroying their finish. With the right formula, tools and know-how, you can get your wheels back to their factory finish.
Why it’s important to clean your wheels regularly
The roads are covered in corrosive particles and debris that slowly eat away at your wheels, and it’s not just salt, dirt and rocks that can erode your wheels’ finish. The dust produced by your brake pads is one of the biggest offenders when it comes to tarnishing chrome and aluminum.
Over time, these contaminants ruin your wheels’ appearance and resale value while also degrading their structural integrity. Regularly washing, polishing and waxing your wheels every one to two weeks is the only way to keep them shining and protected from environmental damage.
Chrome wheel cleaner
Chrome wheels are made by electroplating multiple layers of metals — usually nickel and copper — with a final layer of chrome. The resulting wheel has a durable composition that stands up to weather and rough road conditions. Cleaner formulated for chrome is designed to restore this final layer and bring out its classic sheen.
Chrome wheel cleaners come in premixed solutions that use a spray bottle or concentrated gel formulas that you mix in water. Like other wheel cleaners, they typically cost $6-$20.
Chrome wheel cleaner pros
- A specially formulated cleaner for chrome won’t risk harming its finish.
- This cleaner foams to lift dust and debris so you don’t end up grinding dirt back into the surface with a cloth or brush — all you have to do is rinse.
- Chrome wheel cleaner performs better than multipurpose wheel cleaners on this specific metal.
Chrome wheel cleaner cons
- Chrome wheel cleaner doesn’t often work in the opposite direction of multi-surface application and can end up damaging polished aluminum wheels.
- Not all chrome wheel cleaners also work on tires.

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

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

Zelenskyy to Belgium: Value peace over Russian diamonds
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused some Belgians of valuing Russian diamonds and boats over peace, in remarks to the Belgian Parliament on Thursday.
Zelenskyy continued his collection of bespoke appeals to nationwide parliaments by invoking Belgium’s personal bloody expertise in world wars — and its duty for propping up parts of the Russian financial system.
“There are those for whom Russian diamonds that are sometimes sold in Antwerp” and for whom the income from “Russian boats in their ports” are “more important than our fight,” Zelenskyy mentioned, talking through video-link from Kyiv.
He reiterated his name for weapons, a no-fly zone and the promise of eventual membership within the EU to assist Ukrainians defend their nation in opposition to the Russian invasion.
Belgians are all too conversant in violent invasions, Zelenskyy mentioned. Ukrainians are combating “battles no less terrible than those you knew at Ypres. Perhaps it’s even worse, what’s happening today at Mariupol.”
Those fighters are ready for a no-fly zone, he mentioned. “We have the impression that the Europeans don’t have enough courage,” he added, whereas Ukraine has already misplaced hundreds of lives to “defend security in Europe.”
Zelenskyy thanked Belgium for being among the many first to offer army support. Yet he known as for the nation to do extra.
“I think that peace has much more worth than diamonds, than the deals with Russia, than the Russian boats in the ports, more than the Russian oil and gas. So help us,” he mentioned.
After a prolonged standing ovation, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo responded to Zelenskyy, principally in English earlier than switching to Dutch and French, praising Ukrainians’ “struggle for our common values.”
He instructed Zelenskyy, “We hear your message, and I understand your frustration.”
However, De Croo continued, NATO capturing down Russian planes to implement a no-fly zone would possibly trigger “a wider war without any solution.”
De Croo mentioned Belgium would ship extra army assist and again an accelerated EU membership course of.

Blinken on WNBA star detained in Russia: US will ‘provide every possible assistance’
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday said that the United States will “provide every possible assistance” to citizens who are being held in foreign countries when asked about WNBA star Brittney Griner, who has been detained in Russia.
Blinken refused to share specifics regarding Griner’s case when asked by reporters in Moldova and said “With regard to the individual you mentioned, there’s only so much I can say given the privacy considerations at this point.”
He added that whenever an American is detained anywhere in the world, “we, of course, stand ready to provide every possible assistance, and that includes in Russia.”
Blinken said an embassy team is currently working on the cases of other Americans who are detained in Russia.
“We’re doing everything we can to see to it that their rights are upheld and respected,” he said.
He added that Americans have been advised not to travel to Russia and have issued alerts to U.S. citizens in Russia to leave the country.
Blinken made his remarks at a joint news conference on Sunday with Moldovan president Maia Sandu and mentioned two other Americans detained in Russia — Paul Whelan and Trevor Reed.
Griner, a seven-time WNBA All-Star who plays for the Phoenix Mercury as well as a Russian team during WNBA off-seasons, was detained by the Russian Federal Customs Service for possession of vape cartridges containing hashish oil at Sheremetyevo airport on Saturday.
The U.S. Department of State confirmed reports to The Hill, saying, “We are aware of reports of a U.S. citizen arrested in Moscow. Whenever a U.S. citizen is arrested overseas, we stand ready to provide all appropriate consular services.”
However, many are concerned over the timing of Griner’s detainment as relations between Russia and the West over the invasion of Ukraine continue to deteriorate.
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.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s independent vaccination advisory panel is recommending a booster shot with a messenger RNA vaccine for people who have had a full course of four Chinese, Indian and Russian COVID-19 vaccines that aren’t currently approved for use in the European Union.
In a draft recommendation Thursday, the panel, known by its German acronym STIKO, said the advice applies to people given a full course and also a booster of the Chinese Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines, the Indian-made Covaxin and Russia’s Sputnik V.
It said that the new booster shot should be administered at least three months after the previous vaccination.
The German panel said that people who have received only a single shot of the four vaccines should start a new vaccination series.
And it added that recipients of other vaccines not cleared by the EU should in general start a new series with a vaccine European authorities have approved.
Scientists believe that mixing and matching vaccines prompts a better immune response.
The BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines have been the mainstay of Germany’s vaccination program. Three other vaccines using different technologies have been cleared for use in the 27-nation EU — the AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax products.
The mRNA vaccines have shown to be better than others at protecting against newer variants like omicron.
Separately, efforts to find a majority in the German parliament for a bill that would require all adults to be vaccinated against COVID-19 have reportedly stalled.
German publications Bild and Der Spiegel reported that talks between parties haven’t resulted in the necessary support, and lawmakers may now focus on a vaccine mandate for residents age 50 and over.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz declined Thursday to comment on the reports but said he continues to back the idea of a vaccine mandate for all adults.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Lawyers representing an Ohio doctor accused in multiple hospital deaths wrapped up their case Thursday one day after calling only a single witness.
Dr. William Husel is accused of ordering excessive painkillers for 14 patients in the Columbus-area Mount Carmel Health System. He was indicted in cases involving at least 500 micrograms of the powerful painkiller fentanyl.
Prosecutors said ordering such dosages for a nonsurgical situation indicated an intent to end lives. Husel has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of murder. His attorneys say he was providing comfort care for dying patients, not trying to kill them.
Jurors seated for the trial heard from 53 prosecution witnesses since the trial began Feb. 22, including medical experts, Mount Carmel employees, investigators, and family members of all 14 patients. Prosecutors took five weeks to present their case.
Defense lawyers called a Georgia anesthesiologist on Wednesday to testify that Husel's patients died from their medical conditions and not Husel's actions. The defense rested on Thursday, with closing arguments set for Monday.
Mount Carmel has reached settlements totaling more than $16.7 million over the deaths of at least 17 patients, with more lawsuits pending.

TOM Parker's The Wanted bandmate Nathan Sykes has said "our lives will never be the same" as he shared an unseen backstage video of his "brother".
The singer, 33, passed away on Wednesday afternoon after he was diagnosed with "inoperable" glioblastoma in October 2020.
Since the devastating news was confirmed by Tom's wife Kelsey, many have rushed to social media to pay tribute to the star.
Earlier today Nathan, 28, posted a special video of the band performing their 2012 hit Gold Forever during their recent reunion tour.
Alongside the clip, the singer wrote a lengthy caption to show how much his dear friend meant to him.
Nathan said: "I can’t begin to express how I feel right now.
"This video was taken during our last performance together in Liverpool just 2 weeks ago that will stay with me forever.
"I wasn’t sure if I was going to share this video but I thought that some of you may take comfort in seeing so much joy in one place with a few additions that have definitely made me feel all kinds of emotions today.
"Tom was the most passionate, funny, driven and inspiring person you could wish to meet and I’m so grateful that I was given the honour of being a part of his journey, and even more grateful I can call him my friend as well as one of four brothers.
"He was the reason that the band came back together and the last 6 months have been the greatest pleasure of my life.
"Our lives will never be the same …

"Thank you Tom for bringing your light to the world.
"I hope we meet again one day, rest well, brother."
Tom sadly died after a brave battle with brain cancer yesterday.
The star has tragically left behind his wife and children two-year-old Aurelia and one-year-old Bodhi.
Tom was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in 2020 and given just 18 months to live.
But brave Tom beat the odds after undergoing several gruelling rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions.
Just last week he announced he had written a heartbreaking book about his battle.
He told fans: "My book is not about dying: It's a book about living. It's a book about finding hope in whatever situation you're dealt, and living your best life no matter what."
Yesterday Kelsey confirmed the heartbreaking news on Instagram.
Alongside a black and white snap of the rockstar, and another of their beautiful family, she said: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.

In the aftermath of Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Nigeria Football Federation announced it has fired the entire Super Eagles technical crew and also the withdrawal of a two-and-half year contract offered them.
In a statement signed by the General Secretary Mohamed Sanusi, Thursday, the NFF stated that a new “A new crew will be announced after a proper review to lead the new charge of reinvigorating the Super Eagles to face future challenges appropriately.”
Meanwhile, Augustine Eguavoen had earlier stepped down from his interim role in the Super Eagles as reported exclusively by Brila Media.
Per Brila:
Austin Eguavoen has stepped down as Super Eagles Head Coach and will return to his role as Technical Director of all national teams.
Reliable sources reveal that Eguavoen has sent an official letter to the NFF stating his decision.
Brila Media gathered that in the aftermath of the failed World Cup bid, the NFF will announce the sack of Eguavoen, however, the embattled Coach is yet to sign the proposed Two and a-half year contract for the Super Eagles job which he was handed two days before the first leg of the World Cup play-off against Ghana.

ALLENTOWN — The spring of 2021 saw the Allentown High School girls lacrosse team rise back up to prominence as the Redbirds soared to a 16-1 record and reached the championship game of the NJSIAA state sectional tournament.
As the 2022 season gets underway, Coach Jen Garavente believes her players have what it takes to build on last season’s success and to make another run at winning a state sectional tournament championship.
“Last year’s team set a precedent and we are looking to build off that,” Garavente said. “We want to continue that legacy. I have seen all preseason that we are going to have a strong season.”
The Redbirds opened the 2022 season on March 30 when they hosted Colonial Valley Conference foe Hopewell Valley Central High School. Behind a five-goal performance by sophomore Chloe Conti, Allentown defeated the Bulldogs, 14-10.
“We really feel like we are picking up where we left off,” Garavente said. “It didn’t take long for us to gel together. From one end of the field to the other, I felt like we were really well rounded. It was nice to see the defense get a nice stop and then see the attack finish it on the other end.”
Conti, who scored 19 goals as a freshman, said she was “very excited” after scoring five goals in the 2022 season opener. She said the hard work she put in during the preseason paid off.
Conti scored three goals in the first half, including back-to-back goals in the final 3:00 of the half to help the Redbirds take a 7-3 lead at halftime.

When played resumed, Conti scored her fourth goal to put Allentown up 8-3. She scored her career-high fifth goal and Allentown’s final goal of the afternoon contest as the game neared its conclusion.
“I am very happy,” Conti said. “Everything worked out so well for us. All of our plays were working and we all worked really well together.”
Senior Jolee Roth scored four goals to help Allentown notch the victory.

— Steven Bassin (@SBassin_Sports) March 30, 2022
Roth finished second on the team in goals scored in 2021 with 28. She said she believes the Redbirds can improve upon their performance of a year ago with this year’s mix of veterans and newcomers.
“I think we are going to do really great this season,” Roth said. “I think our team can be even better than last year’s team if we all step up.”
Senior Emily Ciccarone is another veteran on offense. Ciccarone led the team in assists in 2021 with 19, and she scored 14 goals.
Freshman midfielder/forward Delaney Nolan is a newcomer to the lineup. Garavente believes Nolan will have a successful first year and make an impact.
Nolan played well in her first varsity game, scoring two goals in the victory over Hopewell Valley.

— Steven Bassin (@SBassin_Sports) March 30, 2022
On defense, Allentown will be led by senior Megan Tanner and junior Lane Mintchwarner. Senior goalkeeper Reagan Stewart is ready to do her part to boost the team’s performance.
Garavente said she believed it was important to see her squad play a complete game in the season opener. She said playing each half “strong” helped the Redbirds secure the victory.
She is hopeful her squad can continue playing “Allentown Lacrosse” with contests against Shore Regional High School of West Long Branch and the Peddie School of Hightstown to finish out the first week of the season.
“I’m just looking for our team to continue to play together and to stay positive through any of the challenges we face this season,” Garavente said. “If we stay positive, all the rest will fall into place.”

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis is ready to turn pro after delivering a superb sophomore season.
Davis announced Thursday that he’s entering the NBA draft and hiring an agent. The 6-foot-5 guard is regarded as a likely lottery selection and could be Wisconsin’s first top-10 overall pick since the Charlotte Hornets took Frank Kaminsky ninth overall in 2015.
The only other Badgers to be selected in the top 10 of an NBA draft are Don Rehfeldt (second in 1950) and Devin Harris (fifth in 2004).
“I can’t wait for what happens next,” Davis said while making his announcement on ESPN’s “NBA Today.”
The draft is June 23.
Davis added that “after talking it over with my coaches and my family, they thought (entering the draft) was the best decision for me.”
Davis is an Associated Press All-America first-team selection and the Big Ten player of the year. He is a finalist for the Naismith Trophyand Wooden Award, both given annually to the nation’s top player.
Kansas’ Ochai Agbaji, Iowa’s Keegan Murray and Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe join Davis as Naismith finalists. Those four along with Gonzaga’s Drew Timme join Davis as Wooden finalists.
Davis also was one of the nation’s most improved players.After averaging 7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 24.4 minutes in a bench role as a freshman, he had 19.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season while helping Wisconsin (25-8) win a share of the Big Ten regular-season titleand earn a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Davis scored Wisconsin’s last 14 points and finished with 25 in a 67-60 first-round victory over Colgate before shooting 4 of 16 and recording 17 points in a 54-49 second-round loss to Iowa State.
“My time here at Wisconsin was great,” Davis said. “It was an unforgettable experience. I thank all my coaches and my teammates that I had in my corner.” ___

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

Which reusable cotton pads are best?
If you’re looking to make your skincare routine more sustainable, swapping out single-use cotton pads for reusable ones cuts back on landfill waste. And they’ll save you money because you won’t need to keep buying packs of disposable pads every time you run out.
Reusable cotton pads can be washed and reused, and are great if you have sensitive skin. If you’re looking to use them for removing makeup, Greenzla Reusable Makeup Remover Pads is the top — and eco-friendly — choice.
What to know before you buy reusable cotton pads
Material
Not all reusable cotton pads are made from 100% cotton. In fact, many are made from bamboo-cotton blends, and some also add polyester into the mix.
Bamboo is highly renewable and also requires less water and pesticides than cotton cultivation. Some reusable “cotton” pads are actually made all from bamboo. They’re generally indistinguishable from 100% cotton pads and are just as gentle and soft on sensitive skin.
Uses
Popular uses for reusable cotton pads include makeup removal with an eye makeup remover, cleansing the face with micellar water, removing face masks and applying toners or astringents to the face. Unlike disposable cotton pads, reusable ones don’t fall apart or separate during more vigorous use, such as removing long-wear and waterproof makeup. Depending on the texture, some reusable pads can also be gently exfoliating and pair well with a facial or lip scrub.
Shape and size
Most reusable pads come in rounds, which are circular, with a diameter ranging between 2.75-3.75 inches. You can find select pads in square or even heart shapes.
Count
After you use a reusable pad once, you’ll need to wash it, which is why they come in multipacks ranging from 10 to 40 pads. Consider how often you’ll realistically do laundry when choosing how many you want to purchase. More pads mean laundering them less often.
Texture
Many reusable cotton pads have a smooth texture that won’t scratch the skin. However, some are double-sided, with a raised, more exfoliating texture on one side and a smooth surface on the other. You can also find packs that mix exfoliating pads, which feature a scrubby terry cloth surface or a raised one, with ones that feature a velour and smooth surface.
What to look for in quality reusable cotton pads
Holder
Many reusable pads come with a holder that keeps your clean pads tidy and stacked. Holders are made from bamboo, cardboard, plastic, metal or basket material. Some holders are more attractive than others. Consider your bathroom or vanity aesthetic when buying pads that come with a holder.
Laundry bag
Many reusable pads also come with a mesh laundry bag that can also be used to store or transport them. This bag features either a string or zipper closure to keep your pads separate from the rest of your laundry in the washing machine.
Organic
Not all cotton is organic. If you have sensitive skin or use non-toxic skincare, be sure that your pads are organic and do not contain pesticides. Typically, bamboo is not treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers, but it’s always wise to look for that organic label to be on the safe side.
Also called a finger pouch, reusable pads featuring a pocket provide a place for your fingers to slip inside for a more secure hold while you maneuver them. Some reusable cotton pads instead come with a finger strap.
Color
Most reusable pads are white. However, white shows stains, which is why some manufacturers offer black pads. You can also find multipacks that mix colors such as black, gray, pink, blue and green. Be aware that many colored pads are actually made from microfiber, a synthetic material, and don’t contain cotton or bamboo.
How much you can expect to spend on reusable cotton pads
They range in price from 25 cents to $1.50 per pad.
Reusable cotton pads FAQ
How do you wash reusable cotton pads?
A. First, always follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer. In general, reusable pads can be placed inside a mesh laundry bag and washed in the washing machine on a cold/gentle cycle. You can also hand-wash them.
Do I need to use makeup remover with a reusable cotton pad?
A. Generally, yes. Saturate the pad with liquid makeup remover and wipe until your makeup is gone. There are specific reusable makeup-remover pads that can remove makeup with water alone, but not all reusable cotton pads are designed to do that.

Zimbabwe repossessing unused land from black farmers | Fin24
Zimbabwe has begun repossessing idle land from black farmers who benefitted from controversial land reforms 20 years in the past, Agriculture Minister Anxious Masuka stated Wednesday.
People whose farmland is mendacity unused and people who personal a number of farms will lose land, he stated.
The land will probably be given to aspiring farmers from a ready checklist left from earlier rounds of land reform, he stated.
“Zimbabwe has a finite geographic space,” Masuka stated.
“We have allocated 99% of the land, and the land that I am currently allocating to those on the waiting list is land that I am taking from blacks, allocating to blacks.”
Government won’t repossess productive farms, he added.
“We will leave a family with a farm,” Masuka stated.
Speaking on the opening of annual tobacco auctions, Masuka stated some repossessions had already occurred, however didn’t give particulars.
Former president Robert Mugabe launched land reforms in 2000, forcibly eradicating white farmers and giving their land to blacks.
The scheme was alleged to redress legacies of British colonialism however in practise, lots of Mugabe’s shut allies ended up with a number of farms.
But many new farmers had little data, coaching or help, and huge swathes of land grew to become derelict.
Once famend as a breadbasket, Zimbabwe now suffers from persistent meals shortages, whereas 1 / 4 of one million farmers are on the ready checklist for land.
Masuka’s deputy, Vangelis Haritatos, informed AFP that authorities had additionally allowed former white industrial farmers to return to some farms via joint ventures.
“We don’t have a set criterion as government,” he stated. “What we want is fairness for everyone.”
“We need to take our country to self-sufficiency, in food and nutrition,” Haritatos stated.
According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, some 10 million of Zimbabwe’s practically 15 million folks threat starvation by September after a poor wet season.
The nation has lengthy trusted donors for fundamental meals provides.

For my post-Oscar column, I’ll stick with what everybody should be talking about — the winners.
While selections are debated for years — Was Forrest Gump better than The Shawshank Redemption? How did Crash, a mediocre film win best picture? — Oscar can no longer be accused of being “so white” and so male... at least not this year.
Diversity was the big winner Sunday. CODA, featuring deaf actors and crew members (similar to Steven Spielberg casting Puerto Ricans as Puerto Ricans in West Side Story), won best picture, best screenplay adaptation and best supporting actor (Troy Kutsur).
It was an upset. Pundits picked The Power of the Dog to win Best Picture. The characters in CODA were likable, in The Power of the Dog, they were flawed. The industry seldom gives awards to actors playing heavies.
Kutsur’s acceptance speech was one of two highlights Sunday. He thanked deaf theatre companies for providing a stage where he sharpened his skills. Looking on lovingly was presenter Youn Yuh-jung, another outsider, who last year won as the eccentric grandmother in Minari. The stage crew attempted to move her, but she stood in amazement, smiling, one artist admiring another’s craft.
For the finale, Lady Gaga (love her!) was joined by Liza Minnelli, celebrating the 50-year anniversary of Cabaret, for which Minnelli won her only Oscar.
“I’m your biggest fan,” Minnelli gushed to Gaga.
Visibly nervous as she seldom makes public appearances due to declining health, Minnelli was told, “I got you” as Gaga walked her through the formalities.
These two events were about respect and appreciation for the ones who came before you, something that’s sadly lacking in today’s world. Lady Gaga is arguably one of the biggest stars on the planet but, without Liza Minnelli, there probably wouldn’t be Lady Gaga.
As for diversity, two of the four acting statues went to actors of colour. The best director (Jane Campion) was only the third female to win. The best picture was directed by a woman, Sian Heder, who won for her original screenplay.
Best actress Jessica Chastain gave the best speech, recognizing marginalized people and the LGBTQ community, which Tammy Faye Bakker lovingly embraced, much to the chagrin of the PTL Club.
The three hosts were fine, production numbers inconsistent. Broken into three acts, they began with a DJ spinning pop standards not from movies.
Next came an all-star band which included Sheila E. (love her!) and Travis Barker of Blink 182, who nobody had ever seen before in a dress shirt. The traditional orchestra finished the show.
The Godfather and Pulp Fiction reunions were limited to three on stage (was this because of COVID?) Where was James Caan, Robert Duvall, Talia Shire and Diane Keaton from The Godfather? How about Harvey Keitel, Amanda Plummer or the guy in the basement of the pawn shop in Pulp Fiction? Viewers love reunions.
And, as always, Timothée Chalamet looked great, but put a shirt on dude.
For all the complaining and analyzing, remember that the Oscars are union members awarding trophies to fellow union members. That’s it — an over-produced, silly reality show, with great costuming. A car accident that you can’t help but slow down and take a look at.

Ukraine official: Progress made on humanitarian corridors after third round of Russia talks
Some progress has been made on securing humanitarian corridors during the latest round of talks between Moscow and Kyiv, Ukrainian officials announced.
Mykhailo Podoliyak, an adviser to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, tweeted Monday that the third round of negotiations between the two countries had ended.
“There are small positive subductions in improving the logistics of humanitarian corridors,” Podoliyak said.
“Intensive consultations have continued on the basic political block of the regulations, along with a ceasefire and security guarantees,” he added.
Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of breaking a previous cease-fire, aimed at giving Ukrainians a safe path to flee to neighboring countries, with continued shelling in areas supposedly covered by the agreement.
“The Russians … are continuing to bomb us and use artillery,” said deputy mayor of Mariupol Serhiy Orlov on Saturday. “It is crazy.”
Orlov continued: “There is no cease-fire in Mariupol and there is no cease-fire all along the route. Our civilians are ready to escape but they cannot escape under shelling.”
More than 1.7 million refugees have left Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion almost two weeks ago, according to the United Nations refugee agency.
And as of Sunday, roughly 1.7 million refugees had fled Ukraine to seek shelter in a number of surrounding countries, according to the U.N.’s operational data portal.
The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights revealed in a statement on Monday that 406 civilians have been killed and 801 others have been injured since the start of the war.
Nearly two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, Moscow laid out clear terms on Monday to halt its attacks.
Those demands include requesting that Ukraine stop all military action, change its constitution to reject any intention to enter any bloc such as NATO or the European Union, acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory and recognize the two breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
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.

Defense attorneys quickly rested their case Thursday after one of four men charged with plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer repeatedly said "absolutely not" when asked if he had agreed to abduct her before the 2020 election.
Daniel Harris was the only defendant to speak to jurors on the 14th day of trial. It was a risky, dramatic shift following days of testimony from undercover FBI agents, a gutsy informant and two men who have pleaded guilty and pointed fingers at the rest.
Closing arguments were planned for Friday.
Harris, Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., and Brandon Caserta are accused of conspiring to kidnap Whitmer from her vacation home in northern Michigan because of their disgust with government and her tough COVID-19 restrictions.
Only Harris' lawyer offered a few witnesses Wednesday after prosecutors finished presenting their evidence that same day.
Harris, 24, a former Marine, said he wanted to maintain his infantry skills when he joined a militia, the Wolverine Watchmen, not snatch Whitmer or blow up a nearby bridge.
But after friendly questions from a defense lawyer, the atmosphere in court turned tense as a prosecutor confronted Harris with his chat messages about posing as a pizza deliveryman and killing Whitmer at the door. He also reminded Harris that he worked with explosives while training with the group.
Harris and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Roth sometimes talked over each other. At one point, Harris snapped, "Next question."
"Everyone can take it down a notch," U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said later.
Soon after swearing to tell the truth, Harris repeatedly rejected claims that he was involved in crimes. He said "America was on fire" in 2020 over the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, protests over police treatment of Black people and a pandemic that shut down parts of the economy.
A key part of the government's case is a firearms training weekend at Luther, Michigan, in September 2020 with a "shoot house" that was intended to replicate Whitmer's second home. Harris admitted that he brought materials but said he didn't build it with her house in mind.
"Did you agree to kidnap the governor of Michigan?" defense attorney Julia Kelly asked many times.
"Absolutely not," Harris replied.
He didn't participate in an evening ride to Elk Rapids, Michigan, to scout Whitmer's second home and a bridge during that same training weekend. Harris said he had purchased $200 of cheap beer and cigarettes so he could return to the camp and "get wasted" with others.
"I had assumed they went to a strip club or a bar," Harris said of Fox and Croft.
The men were arrested in October 2020 amid talk of raising $4,000 for an explosive that could blow up a bridge and hold back police from responding to a kidnapping, according to trial testimony.
Defense attorneys claim the men simply were engaged in a lot of wild talk fueled by agents and informants but no conspiracy.
The prosecutor covered much ground during Harris' cross-examination, often referring to recordings or text messages to challenge testimony. Roth noted that Harris had said the Founding Fathers would have approved of killing certain officials.
"Tyrants," Harris told Roth.
"Was Gov. Whitmer a tyrant?" the prosecutor asked.
"Not really. She was just a governor to me," Harris said, adding that she performed "poorly."
Prosecutors played a conversation of Croft talking about militias overthrowing governments in various states and "breaking a few eggs."
"When this man talks to you at a diner about killing people, you don't stand up and walk out, do you sir?" Roth asked. "You don't say, 'This group is not for me,' do you sir?"
"No," Harris answered.
Two more men, Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, pleaded guilty and cooperated with investigators. Garbin last week said the group acted willingly and hoped to strike before the election, cause national chaos and prevent Joe Biden from winning the presidency.
Michael Rataj, a Detroit-area defense lawyer not involved in the case, said sometimes bringing in a pack of witnesses for the defense doesn't always fit. He said attorneys for the four men will peck away at the government's evidence during closing arguments — "the textbook way to do it."
As for Harris testifying, Rataj said it can be dicey.
"The FBI has recorded them, and for him to say anything different than what's recorded makes it look like he's lying," Rataj said. "It's foolishness."
Whitmer, a Democrat, rarely talks publicly about the kidnapping plot, though she referred to "surprises" during her term that seemed like "something out of fiction" when she filed for reelection on March 17.
She has blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case. Whitmer has said Trump was complicit in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Will Smith faces two-week battle to save career after Oscar bosses start disciplinary action over Chris Rock slap
OSCARS slap star Will Smith faces a two-week battle to save his career after disciplinary action was formally started by awards bosses.
The star and his lawyers will now write to the Academy to plead his case for striking comedian Chris Rock at the ceremony screened live on TV.
Yesterday Rock, 57, was seen for the first time in public since the shocking scene.
Taking the stage in Boston, he still looked visibly shaken and broke down as he spoke to fans, who gave him a standing ovation.
Saying he was not ready to properly discuss the incident, he added: “Let me be all misty and s***. I’m still processing what happened. At some point I’ll talk about that s***.”
Meanwhile 53-year-old Smith — who was presented after the attack with his first Best Actor gong for his movie King Richard — now faces a make-or-break Academy hearing on April 18.
A source said: “Things are hanging in the balance. He will write an official letter to apologise, and effectively beg for their forgiveness.
“He is also expected to hold a call with show bosses in the next 24 hours. April 18 is D-Day, though — he will find out if he still has an Oscar, and quite possibly, a career.” Question marks hang over Smith’s upcoming projects including Apple-funded slave escape drama Emancipation — with executives declining to comment on its planned release.
He is also due to return to the Bad Boys franchise for a fourth instalment, though no start date has yet been set.
The source explained: “Production executives and studio chiefs do not want to be seen picking a side too early.”

Smith lashed out after stand-up Rock joked about wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair — shaved due to alopecia — suggesting she could appear in a new G.I. Jane film.
After the slap, Smith returned to his seat and twice shouted at Rock: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth!”
Yesterday it was widely reported the Oscar production team urged Will’s management to get him to leave, but he insisted on staying.
Snaps of him dancing at the Vanity Fair after-party with his family are then said to have “added insult to injury” for those who thought he should not even have been invited on stage to accept his award.
As one put it: “He could have been announced as the winner, but then cut to a break so he didn’t get to have his moment.
“Later on he’s dancing the night away. That doesn’t exactly say, ‘I’m sorry for what I’ve done and I’m ashamed’. It’s more, ‘I don’t care’.”
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spelled out its stance in a statement.
It read: “Consistent with standards of conduct, as well as California law, Mr Smith is being provided at least 15 days’ notice of a vote regarding his violations and sanctions, and the opportunity to be heard beforehand by means of a written response.
“Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated.
“While we would like to clarify that Mr Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognise we could have handled the situation differently.”
It said the April 18 meeting will rule on “any disciplinary action, which may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the by-laws and standards of conduct.”
The US public is widely divided over what should be done. Supporters insist Smith made “a simple mistake” and his actions are “understandable”. Broadcaster and Sun columnist Piers Morgan, recently on Fox News, said: “Great to see Hollywood so incensed by Will Smith’s slap and preparing to severely punish him.
“Just a reminder the same Hollywood gave paedophile fugitive Roman Polanski an Oscar and a standing ovation after his conviction, and continues to hire him and shower him with awards.”
Others pointed to Johnny Depp’s big-money commercial deals despite The Sun exposing him as a domestic abuser.
But sources believe The Academy is “leaning the other way”, adding: “They really feel they have to be seen to act.
“It’s no wonder Will is seeking legal advice — he’s likely to need all the help he can get to avoid sanctions.”

BERLIN (AP) — Germany says it has brought home 10 women and 27 children from a camp in northeastern Syria where suspected members of the Islamic State group have been held.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the group was repatriated from the Roj camp on Wednesday in what she called an “extremely difficult” operation. She said some of the mothers were taken into custody immediately after arriving in Germany.
“The 27 children are, at the end of the day, victims of IS, and they have a right to a better future far from its deadly ideology, and also to live in security, as we would wish for our own children,” Baerbock said in a statement. “The mothers must be held accountable for their actions.”
Germany previously repatriated 23 children and their eight mothers from Roj in October. At the same time, neighboring Denmark brought home 14 children and three women.
Baerbock thanked Kurdish authorities in Syria and “our U.S. partners, who once again provided us with logistical support.”
With Wednesday’s operation, “the majority of the German children whose mothers are willing to return to Germany have been brought to safety,” she said. “There are now only a few special cases for which we are continuing to work on individual solutions.”
Federal prosecutors said Thursday that four women had been arrested on arrival at Frankfurt Airport — three German citizens, identified in line with local privacy rules only as Nadine K., Gulseren T. and Emilie R., and a German-Moroccan dual citizen identified as Fatiha B.
All are accused of membership in a foreign terrorist organization and Nadine K. of other crimes — including keeping a Yazidi woman as a slave who allegedly was regularly sexually assaulted by the suspect’s husband, with her knowledge. Prosecutors said they traveled separately to Syria or Iraq in 2014 and joined IS.

Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has agreed to appear at a deposition in Connecticut to answer questions in a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
That's according to new court filings by his lawyers on Thursday, which comes a day after a judge ordered fines against Jones for defying orders to attend a deposition last week despite his claim of illness.
Jones now says he can answer questions on April 11 and is asking the judge to put a hold on the fines. There was no immediate ruling on Jones' requests. The families are suing him for calling the school massacre a hoax.
Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis said, “The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant Alex Jones willfully and in bad faith violated without justification several clear court orders requiring his attendance at his depositions on March 23 and March 24.”
Judge Bellis said in the decision on Wednesday, “It is clear…that the plaintiffs here simply want and are entitled to the deposition of Mr. Jones and that Mr. Jones has continued to attempt to deliberately disregard the court’s orders and attempts to manipulate the court process.”
“While paying the fees and court’s costs will reimburse the plaintiffs for costs incurred in attempting to procure Mr. Jones’ deposition, it is not a substitution for his testimony,” she said.

The worldwide seafood industry is steeling itself for price hikes, supply disruptions and potential job losses as new rounds of economic sanctions on Russia make key species such as cod and crab harder to come by.
The latest round of U.S. attempts to punish Russia for the invasion of Ukraine includes bans on imports of seafood, alcohol and diamonds. The U.S. is also stripping “most favored nation status” from Russia. Nations around the world are taking similar steps.
Russia is one of the largest producers of seafood in the world, and was the fifth-largest producer of wild-caught fish, according to a 2020 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Russia is not one of the biggest exporters of seafood to the U.S., but it’s a world leader in exports of cod (the preference for fish and chips in the U.S.). It’s also a major supplier of crabs and Alaska pollock, widely used in fast-food sandwiches and processed products like fish sticks.
The impact is likely to be felt globally, as well as in places with working waterfronts. One of those is Maine, where more than $50 million in seafood products from Russia passed through Portland in 2021, according to federal statistics.
“If you’re getting cod from Russia, it’s going to be a problem,” said Glen Libby, an owner of Port Clyde Fresh Catch, a seafood market in Tenants Harbor, Maine. “That’s quite a mess. We’ll see how it turns out.”
Russia exported more than 28 million pounds (12.7 million kilograms) of cod to the U.S. from Jan. 1, 2020, to Jan. 31, 2022, according to census data.
The European Union and United Kingdom are both deeply dependent on Russian seafood. And prices of seafood are already spiking in Japan, a major seafood consumer that is limiting its trade with Russia.
In the U.K., where fish and chips are a cultural marker, shop owners and consumers alike are bracing for price surges. British fish and chip shops were already facing a squeeze because of soaring energy costs and rising food prices.
Andrew Crook, head of the National Federation of Fish Friers, said earlier this month that — even before the war — he expected a third of Britain’s fish and chip shops to go out of business. If fish prices shoot up even higher, “we are in real dire straits,” he said.
In mid-March, the U.K. slapped a 35% tariff hike on Russian whitefish, including chip-shop staples cod and haddock.
“We’re a massive part of U.K. culture and it would be a shame to see that go,” he told broadcaster ITV.
U.S. consumers are most likely to notice the impact of sanctions via price and availability of fish, said Kanae Tokunaga, who runs the Coastal and Marine Economics Lab at Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland.
“Because seafood is a global commodity, even if they are not harvested in Russia, you will notice the price hike,” Tokunaga said.
In the U.S., the dependence on foreign cod stems to the loss of its own once-robust Atlantic cod fishery that cratered in the face of overfishing and environmental changes. U.S. fishermen, based mostly in New England, brought more than 100 million pounds (45.4 million kilograms) of cod to the docks per year in the early 1980s, but the 2020 catch was less than 2 million pounds (900,000 kilograms).
Regulators have tried to save the fishery with management measures such as very low fishing quotas, and many fishermen targeting other East Coast groundfish species such as haddock and flounder now avoid cod altogether.
Seafood processors in Massachusetts are concerned about job losses due to loss of Russian products, Democratic U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, who does support sanctions on Russia, said.
“I have heard from seafood processors in my home state with concerns about potential sudden effects of a new, immediate ban on imports on their workforce, including hundreds of union workers in the seafood processing industry,” he said on the Senate floor in February.
For U.S. producers of seafood staples such as fish and chips, the lack of Russian cod could mean pivoting to other foreign sources, said Walt Golet, a research assistant professor at the University of Maine’s School of Marine Sciences.
“We might be able to bring in more from Norway, a little more from Canadian fisheries,” Golet said. “It really is driven by the price of those imports.”
As an alternative, producers and consumers could try underutilized fish species caught domestically, such as Atlantic pollock and redfish, said Ben Martens, executive director of Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association.
“Maybe this is a time to use haddock or hake or maybe monkfish, something different,” Martens said. “If it’s going to disrupt supply chains it does present an opportunity for other species to fill that void.”

The makeup world is mourning the loss of one of their very own.
Celebrity makeup artist and beauty mogul AJ Crimson died on March 30 at the age of 27, his family said in a statement to E! News.
"AJ Crimson was a makeup industry leader that set a standard of beauty that was elevated, beautiful, and accessible to people of all color," the message read.

Thanking fans for their kind words about Crimson, the family said he was an "inspiration to us as much as he was a bright light to the rest of the world. There are no words that can sum up his whole. Until we meet again!"
Michele Marie PR said in a statement to E! News that they are "devastated" and "absolutely loved AJ, truly one of the sweetest, most humble people we have ever had the pleasure of working with."
Celebrity Deaths: 2022's Fallen Stars
Details surrounding Crimson's death have not been released to the public.

The self-taught makeup artist founded his cosmetic brand in 2012.

His celebrity clientele included the likes of Angela Bassett, Brandy, Fergie, Regina King, Missy Elliott, Amerie, Hilary Duff and many more.
Following the news of Crimson's passing, several stars took to social media to mourn his loss, including actress Bresha Webb, who shared a touching post about her late friend on Instagram on March 31.
"I'm blessed to have been apart of your journey and I will keep your legacy alive," the A Fall From Grace actress wrote. "And wow did you leave a legacy. Praying for your spirit to be lifted up to the heavens and that the angels usher you in with all of the harmony and sweetness that you shared on this earth."

South Carolina middle school student, 12, is shot dead by 12-year-old classmate as they crossed paths in hallway: Suspected gunman is 'found hiding' near the building and arrested
- Jamari Jackson, 12, died on Thursday after being shot in the side by an unidentified student at Tanglewood Middle School in South Carolina
- He succumbed to his injuries around 5pm at Prisma Health Greenville Memorial
- The unidentified gunman, 12, fled the school after the shooting and was found by police nearby and has been taken to the Dept. of Juvenile Justice in Columbia
- A student who claimed to be friends with the shooter said they were walking down the hallway in-between classes when his friend fired the gun
- 'He was walking really fast and he looked really nervous...All of sudden, he just reaches into his backpack and just pulls out gun [and] fired one shot,' he said
- The shooter has been charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and possession of a firearm on school property
- Police are unsure of the motive, but said the boys were 'familiar' to each other
A student was shot and killed at a South Carolina middle school by another student after they passed each other in the hallway before the gunman was arrested near the school, authorities said.
Jamari Jackson, 12, died around 5pm after being transported to Prisma Health Greenville Memorial after he was fatally shot in the seventh-grade hallway by an unidentified teenage shooter, also 12. It is unclear if the shooter had a motive.
A student who claimed to be friends with the shooter said he witnessed the cold-blooded killing.
'We were just walking down the hallway,' a seventh-grade student named Michael, told WSPA. 'He was walking really fast and he looked really nervous, and there was just a whole crowd of kids. All of sudden, he just reaches into his backpack and just pulls out gun [and] fired one shot.
'I didn't think twice, I just ran,' he said. 'I just thought: "Oh my god, he's going to shoot the school."'
Jamari Jackson, 12, was killed Thursday after being shot in the side by an unidentified teenager at Tanglewood Middle School in Greenville, South Carolina
Police have reported that Jackson (pictured with his mother Juanita) was familiar with the shooter, but the motive is unknown at this time
Michael claimed he's never seen his friend 'walk that fast and kind of nervous like that' before, but he didn't think anything would happen.
'Everyone standing around us were just screaming and running. And all of sudden, I look behind me and kids are just running inside classrooms and locking the doors and everything. And he didn't know what to do, he just ran.'
The suspected shooter was found hiding under a desk inside a residence on the 3000 block of Easley Bridge Road not far from the school, police said.
'He was hiding. He's a young man, probably didn't understand the consequences of what had just happened,' Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis said at a press conference. 'I don't think he knew what to do honestly, except for to leave the school.'
He has been charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, possession of a firearm on school property and unlawful possession of a weapon by a person under the age of 18.
He is in custody at the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia.
Police said they are unsure of the motive, but that the two students were familiar with each other.
'While the motive for the shooting and how the suspect was able to get possession of a firearm is still under investigation, we can confirm that the victim and suspect were familiar with each other and we are confident the incident was isolated,' Lewis said.
The Jackson family released a statement asking for privacy and that they were 'all devastated by today’s tragedy.'
'We love Jamari dearly and we would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time,' they said in a statement.
'That was my man,' Jackson's grandfather Marshall told the Greenville News outside of the hospital as he cried. Other family members were reportedly at the hospital as well.
Seventh-grade student Michael (pictured), who claimed to be friends with the shooter, said he was walking down the hallway with him in-between classes when the youth pulled out a gun and 'fired one shot'
The shooting began around 12.30pm as the two boys were passing each other in the hallway. A police officer at the school requested emergency backup and more than 200 deputies and other law enforcement officers rushed to the school, Lewis said.
Angela, a parent who was only identified by her first name, was parking at the school when officers began rushing the building, screaming at her to 'get back.'
'I was like: "What’s wrong? What’s wrong?" They wouldn’t tell me, he said: "Get back in your car," the mother told WYFF 4. 'When I was getting in my car, all the police came. Every police in Greenville County was there and ambulance. They were running in with guns, not handguns, rifles.'
Her daughter Prentasia saw the moment Jackson was shot. She said: 'We heard a gunshot and this boy had a gun and he shot at one boy in his side. We all pretty much went into a classroom and some people went outside. We were just in the classroom until it was over.'
Another student Kelvin said he was in the cafeteria when the police came and he was 'scared' it was the shooter.
'I didn’t know what to do and then the police came in. I thought it was one of the shooters,' he told Fox Carolina.
More than 200 deputies arrived on the scene after a police officer at the school called for emergency backup around 12.30pm
Students were rushed onto buses (pictured) and taken to a nearby church after the shooting
Students can be seen safely leaving the school after the shooter was found nearby. He took off after shooting Jackson
Michael said it would be hard for him to sleep after the traumatizing episode.
'It is going to be a difficult night, because just knowing I was right beside the shooter in that moment, it's going to be hard to sleep, just knowing I could have lost my life that day too,' he said.
Helicopter footage from WYFF-TV showed dozens of officers walking around outside the school with more than two dozens buses lined up. Some students were slowly boarding the buses to be taken to Brookwood Church, where they can be reunited with their parents.
Deputies are still investigating the shooting and don't know why it happened, Greenville County Schools Superintendent Burke Royster said.
'I'm not sure after a full and thorough law enforcement investigation anyone will really know what was going through the mind of that young person who took this rash act,' Royster said.
Parents are now calling for metal detectors to be placed inside the school.
'I would love for Greenville County to do something and put metal detectors. They all come through the same door. They go to the cafeteria they do that. Why don't they put a metal detector and then at least detect there's something there,' an unidentified mother told WYFF 4.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland lawmakers passed a measure on Thursday to create a paid family leave program, sending the legislation to Gov. Larry Hogan.
The bill, approved by supermajority votes by Democrats who control the legislature, would enable workers to take up to 12 weeks of partially paid leave for specified personal family circumstances such as caring for a sick relative or having a baby. It would provide up to 24 weeks for a parent, if he or she has a serious health issue in the year of a child's birth.
“This has been a long time coming,” said Sen. Antonio Hayes, a Baltimore Democrat. He thanked supporters who have “come together and really advocated on behalf of Maryland families."
Republicans criticized the measure for failing to spell out how much employees and employers would have to contribute, leaving that for the state's labor department to define later. They said Democrats were rushing to get the bill to the Republican governor just to meet a deadline so lawmakers will still be in session if the bill is vetoed.
“We're pushing this bill as quick as we can to get it upstairs,” said Sen. J.B. Jennings, a Republican, who added: “We don't know the numbers ... this bill is a hot mess.”
Because lawmakers are in the last session of the four-year term, they would not have a chance to override the veto next year if they adjourn before the governor acts on legislation.
The measure would create an insurance pool. Employees and employers would contribute to fund the program. Under the bill, the state’s labor department would set contribution rates to pay for the program. Employers with fewer than 15 employees would not be required to contribute.
The measure also includes job protections to protect employees from retaliation or termination for using the leave.
Seven states and the District of Columbia have paid family and medical leave insurance programs, including California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Washington. Colorado and Oregon have approved programs that have not started yet.

Aragon Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “Aragon is a decentralized platform built on the Ethereum network. It allows users to manage entire organizations on the blockchain offering several tools that allow users to manage these decentralized organizations with efficiency. The ANT will enable its holders to govern the Aragon Network. ANT — the Aragon Network Token — was introduced in 2017 as the governance token of the Aragon Network. ANT was one of the first tokens to adopt the MiniMe standard, being governance-enabled out of the box. MiniMe stores block-per-block snapshots of token balances. That way, votes can be properly counted and no one can vote twice with the same tokens. Aragon is now introducing ANTv2: a new version of the token that is 3x cheaper to transfer and supports gasless transfers. ANTv2 will also support voting, but all the logic doesn’t need to be on-chain like ANTv1 making it cheaper to transfer. Thanks to the adoption of off-chain voting, ANTv2 is extremely lightweight. “
Buying and Selling Aragon
It is usually not possible to purchase alternative cryptocurrencies such as Aragon directly using U.S. dollars. Investors seeking to trade Aragon should first purchase Ethereum or Bitcoin using an exchange that deals in U.S. dollars such as Changelly, GDAX or Gemini. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Ethereum or Bitcoin to purchase Aragon using one of the exchanges listed above.

SCAPPOOSE, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a man was shot and killed Thursday by two police officers in Scappoose, Oregon.
Columbia County officials confirmed the officer-involved shooting on social media. In a tweet, officials said that “no officers were injured and the incident is currently under investigation.”
A witness told KOIN-TV that he was dropping his wife off at work when he saw a man show up to the towing facility next door. The witness, Erik Tyler, said the man appeared angry and a fight escalated between the man and employees until the workers told him they would call the police.
Police arrived and Tyler said he heard them yell at the man to drop his weapon and the man didn’t comply.
Detective Shannon Wilde with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, which has taken over the investigation, told reporters police responded to the “disturbance” at Grumpy’s Towing just before 10 a.m. During the incident, Wilde said both a sheriff's deputy and an Oregon State Police trooper fired their weapons, killing the man.
Wilde did not identify the deceased man or specify whether he was armed at the time but said he was wanted for an unrelated “violent felony.”
Wilde also declined to comment on the circumstances that led up to the shooting.

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

Which Dior blushes are best?
Dior is best known for its beautiful designer clothing and accessories, but the brand also offers a full line of luxury beauty products and fragrances. Dior blushes are one of the brand’s standout products, adding the perfect amount of natural color to give you a healthy glow.
Dior blushes are available in both powder and cream formulas, so there’s an option no matter your skin type. Their high-quality ingredients offer vibrant color that can last all day. If you’re looking for a highly pigmented blush that’s available in a variety of flattering shades, Dior Rouge Blush is the bestselling option.
What to know before you buy a Dior blush
Formula
Dior blushes are available in two formulas: powder or cream.
Powder blushes are the most common option, so they’re the most widely used. They come in a compact and are applied with a brush. Powder formulas have a dry texture that has a lightweight look and feel on the skin. They can be fairly sheer, so they also look more natural on the skin, but you can build them up to get a more intense color if you prefer.
Powder blush works extremely well for oily skin because its dry texture helps absorb oil to reduce shine. It may not be the best option for dry or mature skin because it can settle in fine lines and cling to dry patches.
Cream blushes have a more emollient texture that glides easily over the skin. They contain moisturizing ingredients, making them ideal for dry or mature skin. Because of the hydrating formula, they have a dewy finish, so they can help your skin look fresh and youthful.
Cream blushes come in a small pot, container or compact and can be applied with your fingers, a brush or a sponge. However, they aren’t the best fit for oily skin because they can make you look shiny. A cream blush doesn’t last as long on the skin as a powder formula, either.
Finish
Dior blushes are available in three finish options: matte, satin and shimmer.
- Matte: Dior matte blushes don’t have any shine, shimmer or glitter, so they don’t reflect the light. They have a flat finish that works well for oily or combination skin because it won’t make your skin look greasy. Matte blushes tend to wear longer on the skin.
- Satin: Dior satin blushes have a slight sheen that’s flattering on most skin types. Their finish resembles real skin, so they can look very natural. They don’t contain any noticeable shimmer or glitter particles.
- Shimmer: Dior shimmer blushes contain mica shimmer particles that give them an obvious shine. They’re particularly flattering for dull skin since they help brighten up the complexion.
Shade range
Dior blushes come in a relatively natural shade range, so you can find options that suit most skin tones. You can choose from Dior blushes in pink, rose, peach, bronze, nude and berry shades that coordinate with some Dior lipstick shades to help you create a flattering monochromatic look.
What to look for in a quality Dior blush
Packaging
Most Dior blushes come in plastic compacts that are easy to toss in your bag and bring with you for touch-ups during the day.
Some compacts have a clear plastic lid that allows you to see the shade even when the lid is closed, which can be convenient if you’re searching through your makeup bag for a particular blush. However, other Dior blushes have a solid lid with a mirror on the inside that makes it easy to check your makeup during the day and freshen it up if necessary.
Wear time
Dior powder blushes wear longer on the skin than cream blushes, but all formulas last at least 6-8 hours. Some Dior powder blushes are formulated for even longer wear. They’re highly pigmented, so their color can remain on the skin for up to 12 hours without fading.
Brush
Some Dior blushes include a small brush to apply the color to your cheeks. While these mini brushes don’t work as well as full-size makeup brushes, they can come in very handy for touch-ups when you’re out and about.
How much you can expect to spend on a Dior blush
Dior blushes cost $39-$145. Most formulas range from $39-$50, but some larger palettes that contain multiple blush shades or blush, bronzer and/or highlighter shades cost $75-$145.
Dior blush FAQ
Are Dior blushes fragrance-free?
A. Most Dior blushes contain artificial fragrances to give the products a pleasant scent. However, because chemical fragrances can sometimes irritate the skin, these blushes may not be the best option for sensitive skin.
What’s the best way to apply Dior blush?
A. Dior powder and cream blushes are best applied with an angled blush brush. The shape fits the curve of your cheek to apply the blush smoothly and precisely. You can also use a makeup sponge or even clean fingers to blend a Dior cream blush over your skin.

TORONTO - "Five Little Indians" by Cree writer and lawyer Michelle Good has won CBC's Canada Reads contest.
The book, published by Harper Perennial, traces the intersecting paths of five residential school survivors in east Vancouver as they try to rebuild their lives and come to grips with their pasts.
CBC's annual battle of the books brings together five high-profile panellists to argue why their favourite homegrown title should be crowned the ultimate must-read.
Good's book was championed by Ojibway journalist and Vogue fashion writer Christian Allaire from Nipissing First Nation in Ontario — the grandson of a residential school survivor who says it's important that Canadians understand this history.
Other titles in contention were Catherine Hernandez's "Scarborough" from Arsenal Pulp Press and championed by actor and activist Malia Baker; and Esi Edugyan's "Washington Black" from Patrick Crean Editions and championed by Olympian and LGBTQ advocate Mark Tewksbury.
Also in the running were Clayton Thomas-Müller's "Life in the City of Dirty Water" of Allen Lane and championed by forest ecologist Suzanne Simard; and Omar El Akkad's "What Strange Paradise" from McClelland & Stewart, championed by entrepreneur and former Syrian refugee Tareq Hadhad.
Good, a member of Red Pheasant Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, won the 2020 Governor General's Literary Award for fiction and the 2021 Amazon Canada First Novel Award.
"The awards are nice and are deeply satisfying as an author but most important to me, awards elevate the profile of the book so more hearts and minds are exposed to the story that I felt compelled to tell," Good said Thursday in a release.
"I wrote this book to expose the truth of intergenerational trauma, and how there is so little support in Canada for survivors to truly be able to heal, both on an individual level and at a community level. The primary relationship in this country is the one between Indigenous people and the rest of Canada, and this relationship must be reconciled before we can really consider Canada the country we want to be."
The week's debates are available to stream on CBC Gem and CBC Listen.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 31, 2022.

African tribal men try pizza for the first time. Their reaction is hilarious
It is all the time a delight to observe movies of individuals making an attempt new cuisines and meals world wide as their reactions might be hilarious. Foods which can be actually in style in some components of the world might not be available in different international locations. Even although pizza is one thing actually in style all around the world, there are nonetheless many individuals who haven’t tried it and their response after consuming it’s actually entertaining to observe. Like this video posted on Instagram that exhibits the lads from the Maasai tribe making an attempt pizza for the primary time. They are from Tanzania based on their YouTube profile.
The video was posted by the web page maasaiboys three days in the past and it’s got greater than 21,000 views to this point.
The video is hilarious to observe as they battle to chop the pizza slice whereas one individual takes the entire pizza pie and tries to eat it. One individual within the group additionally asks “how long will it stay in the stomach”, after consuming the pizza. However, they actually preferred it and would like to attempt extra as they mentioned within the caption.
“First time we tried Pizza and now we want more,” says the caption of the video.
Watch the video beneath:
“Thank you for sharing with us!!” commented an Instagram person. “My guy picked up the entire pie and went in,” mentioned one other. A 3rd particular person commented, “I just had pizza, now you guys are making me hungry for more pizza.”
The males within the video are warriors of the Maasai tribe based on their Instagram bio. They have greater than 3,800 followers on Instagram. They even have a YouTube account that has greater than 800 subscribers.
What do you consider this video of the Maasai tribe males making an attempt pizza?

EU officially agrees to look at requests to join from Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova
The European Union agreed Monday to consider requests to join the bloc by Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, European neighbors of Russia, amid Moscow’s recent invasion of Ukraine.
The EU is known for its years-long process of validating new member states, often lasting up to a decade.
Ambassadors for the EU said that their first step is to ask the group’s executive to give an opinion on the three applications, The Agence France-Presse reported.
After the executive opinion is given, member states of the commission are required to vote unanimously in favor of each new nation’s candidacy for membership.
Leaders of the EU will begin to discuss the three applications as soon as this week at a summit in France about the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Western response.
Ukraine has asked the EU to fast-track its membership process during the war. The country has also pleaded to become part of the NATO alliance during the conflict, a request against which the alliance has shown resistance.
Some EU member states have endorsed Ukraine’s membership in the commission despite others’ resistance to the idea based on fears of Russian conflict with the West.
Pro-European Union protests in Ukraine in the winter of 2013-14, in response to a choice by Ukraine’s then-president to distance the country from the bloc, preceded Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.
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.

Zurich Insurance Group AG said Thursday it would bring forward by 20 years its target to achieve net-zero emissions in its operations.
The Swiss insurance company said it will now aim to reach its goal by 2030 rather than 2050, after implementing plans to achieve deep cuts in absolute emissions this decade.
Zurich said it made advance payments to companies that work to remove carbon from the atmosphere to help them further develop, scale and commercialize their technology.
The carbon-removal companies are InterEarth from Australia, Puerto-Rico based Bio Restorative Ideas, and Oregon Biochar Solutions, Zurich said.
In March 2021, the company said it would target cutting emissions from operations by 50% by 2025 and 70% by 2029.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Gay rights advocates sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday to block a new law that forbids classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
The law has catapulted Florida and DeSantis, a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, to the forefront of the country's culture wars. Critics call it the " Don't Say Gay " law and argue that its true intent is to marginalize LGBTQ people and their families.
The challenge filed in federal court in Tallahassee on behalf of Equality Florida and Family Equality alleges that the law violates the constitutionally protected rights of free speech, equal protection and due process of students and families.
"This effort to control young minds through state censorship — and to demean LGBTQ lives by denying their reality — is a grave abuse of power," the lawsuit says.
"The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that LGBTQ people and their families are at home in our constitutional order. The State of Florida has no right to declare them outcasts, or to treat their allies as outlaws, by punishing schools where someone dares to affirm their identity and dignity," the lawsuit says.
The law deliberately employs broad terms and invites arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement, empowering parents to be roving censors who can sue school boards for damages based on any perceived violation, the lawsuit adds.
The law states: "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards." Parents would be able to sue districts over violations.
U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona met with LGBTQ students and their family members at a school in Orlando on Thursday, discussing privately how the legislation is affecting their lives. Cardona's visit was one of several Biden administration events Thursday showing support for the queer community, including a presidential proclamation recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility.
"We know while many transgender students experience valuable support at school, many others face significant challenges because of hostility directed at them by others," Cardona said. "This includes a growing number of state laws that bully and intimidate LGBTQI+ students and their families."
DeSantis and other Republicans have repeatedly described the rules as reasonable, saying children should learn about sexual orientation and gender identity from their parents, not in schools.
"We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination," the governor said when he signed it into law this week.
Many critics have said the law's language, particularly the phrases "classroom instruction" and "age appropriate," could be interpreted so broadly that discussion in any grade could trigger lawsuits, creating a classroom atmosphere where teachers would avoid the subjects entirely.
Intense public backlash followed the bill's introduction in Florida's Republican-controlled legislature this year, with the White House, Hollywood celebrities, students, Democrats and LGBTQ advocates condemning the policy. Legal challenges have been expected.
The filing by Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP and the National Center for Lesbian Rights seeks to block the law from taking effect and also names Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran and other education officials as defendants.
"Already, our children have told us that they are afraid that they will not be able to talk about their family at school," Dan and Brent VanTice, parents of two first-grade students, said in the statement announcing the suit. "We are heartbroken that our children are already feeling isolated and stigmatized by this law."
Andrew Spar, president of the Florida Education Association union, said the law is politically motivated because elementary schools, especially in kindergarten through third grade, do not teach about these subjects and have state curriculum standards guiding classroom lessons.
The law adds fuel to a persistent feud between DeSantis and Democratic President Joe Biden, who tweeted after DeSantis signed the bill this week that "My Administration will continue to fight for dignity and opportunity for every student and family — in Florida and around the country." Cardona has said his agency will be monitoring for any federal civil rights violations that result.

I’ve spent £1m on boob jobs, bum implants and a designer vagina says OnlyFans millionaire Chloe Khan
CHLOE Khan has revealed she's spent £1million on plastic surgery, getting work done on her boobs, bum and even her vagina.
The revelation comes as the glamour model and reality star, 29, also says she raked in millions from OnlyFans to fund her cosmetic enhancements.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Chloe said: "Oh my God – how much have I spent on surgery? I would say overall, over the years, a million pounds.
"Not just surgery, but on hair extensions and facials, skincare and non-surgical procedures. I have a lot of upkeep as well, and I’m always in the hair salon."
Chloe also explained exactly what she has had done over the years, putting to rest any speculation.
The influencer, who is a mum to daughter Destiny, 13, reveals: "I’ve actually only had two boob jobs, which people don’t believe because my boobs are so big. But I’m going to get a boob job again soon.
"I don’t want to go bigger or smaller – I just want a refresh. I’ll stay the same size.
She added: "I also have had veneers, three nose jobs, two sets of butt implants, and a Brazilian Bum Lift. I’ve had a designer vagina – don’t forget that one!"
On the topic of her enhanced lady parts, she explained: "It’s just beatified basically. You can get it tightened and I think I feel a difference.
She insisted: "I didn’t get it because I’ve had a baby. I was fine there – I didn’t need it, but the bum implant surgery was invasive, and it requires a lot of down time, so I thought I’d rather suffer from multiple rewards, rather than just one.

"I thought I may as well. In for a penny, in for a pound. So I just got a little cheeky designer vagina when I was there. It was quite cute."
Not all of her surgeries have gone to plan however.
"I got an infection in my butt implants, so I had to have them changed," Chloe reveals.
The glam brunette, who shot to fame on The X Factor back in 2010 and has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, says she won't be gracing our screens again.
"I'm done with reality TV" she vows. "My big thing is OnlyFans – it’s crazy money. It’s crazy, crazy money. I've been on it for four years and I’ve been on it from very early days before it was really big, so I got really close to the whole company.
"I’ve been a long-standing OnlyFans person and I’ve definitely made into the millions. I've done extremely well on there. I’m in the very top ranks of it. "
The Wakefield-born lass, who has also lived in Las Vegas and Dubai and been a Playboy model, also shared her thoughts on Katie Price joining the platform.
"The thing with Katie Price is I’m pretty sure she’s been given quite a large sum to join, so she doesn’t care about what she’s posting or putting on there, "Chloe says.
"She's basically been headhunted to join, and they have a very big budget to get main people. I know that they’re giving crazy money for people to join."
And Chloe has a lot of sympathy for Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn, who lost her job after appearing on the racy site.
"I felt really sorry for Sarah," she adds. "For me OnlyFans is only another form of social media, but with sexier content. I don’t see it as something seedy or strange."

A new study released Thursday found that those who are pregnant and vaccinated against COVID-19 are twice as likely to get a breakthrough case of the virus than those who aren't pregnant.
Researchers from the Wisconsin-based company Epic said they analyzed the medical records of about 14 million patients that were stored in Cosmos, a HIPAA-defined data set of more than 140 million people from 960 hospitals and 20,814 clinics that serve patients in all 50 states.
According to the study, researchers honed in on what comorbidities could increase a patient's chances of getting a breakthrough COVID-19 case while vaccinated.
They found that pregnant individuals were 1.91 times more likely to get COVID while vaccinated. They also found that those with organ transplants were 1.83 times more likely to get COVID-19, and those with immune deficiency were 1.63 times more likely to get breakthrough COVID.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has declared an outbreak of norovirus linked to the consumption of raw B.C. oysters.
The outbreak has impacted people in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario — though as of March 30, 262 of the 279 reported cases are in B.C. There have been no deaths associated with the outbreak.
Individuals became sick with norovirus after ingesting raw oysters farmed on B.C.’s west coast. Health Canada recalled certain brands of oysters that were believed to be related to the norovirus outbreak on Feb. 18, March 20, March 23, and March 27, 2022.
READ MORE: Health Canada recalls certain B.C. oysters due to norovirus contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is continuing an investigation into the outbreak which could lead to further recalls. Any recall notices will be shared publicly.
To avoid norovirus infection from oysters, make sure they are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 90 degrees celsius for 90 seconds before eating. Public health agencies do not recommend consuming raw oysters.
If you believe you became sick from consuming the recalled oysters, Health Canada recommends contacting a doctor. Anyone who believes they purchased the product should check to see if they have it in their home or business. Do not consume the recalled oysters — either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
When people become sick with norovirus they typically develop symptoms of gastroenteritis within 24 to 48 hours, but symptoms can start within 12 hours after exposure. Even after becoming infected with norovirus, you can become re-infected. The main symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Other symptoms may include a low-grade fever, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.
Most people start to feel better after a day or two, however in severe cases, some patients require hospitalization. Those most at risk of severe outcomes from norovirus infection include pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, young children and seniors.

Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
“They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment," Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.”
But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea.
“He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. "And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.”
The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night's ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer's interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned.
The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television."
Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so.
Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary.
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18.
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.”

Five fetuses are found in the Washington DC home of anti-abortion activist who has been indicted along with nine others for blockading abortion clinic in 2020
- Anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy, 28, was arrested on Wednesday outside her Washington D.C. apartment when police found five fetuses inside her home
- Handy, a member of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising group, said 'people will freak out when they hear' what's inside her apartment as police arrested her
- Handy and eight others had been charged that same day for blocking access to the Washington Surgi-Clinic in 2020
- In October 2020, Handy pretended to be a patient scheduling an appointment at the clinic when she and others chained themselves and blocked patients' paths
- She had been arrested multiple times in the past due to her protest activities
Police found five fetuses after raiding the home of a self-proclaimed 'anti-abortion activist' who was indicted the same day on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of nine who blocked access to a Washington, D.C. reproductive health center in 2020.
The Metropolitan Police Department said officers were responding to a tip about 'potential bio-hazard material' at the home of Lauren Handy, 28, in Southeast Washington on Wednesday when they located the five fetuses inside.
Local WUSA9 captured the moment police searching the home walked out with red biohazard bags and coolers filled with evidence from the home's basement.
Handy, a director of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising group, was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public earlier Wednesday that accused the group of blocking access to the Washington Surgi-Clinic reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook in October 2020.
The station, which first reported the discovery, said Handy told a reporter that 'people will freak out when they hear' what detectives found inside her house.
She did not respond to a messages seeking comment. The Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising groups said they would release a statement about the arrest on Tuesday.
Anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy (center) was arrested on Wednesday outside her Washington D.C. apartment when Police found five fetuses inside her home
Handy has been arrested numerous times since 2019 for unlawful demonstrations and blocking access to reproductive health clinics across the US
Her Facebook page is filled with posts about entering reproductive health clinics or university labs to protest their use of fetal research or abortion services
Handy, 28, serves as a director of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising group. She and eight others had been charged with blocking access to the Washington Surgi-Clinic in 2020
Police on Thursday said the five fetuses appeared to have been aborted in accordance with D.C. law.
'There doesn't appear to be anything criminal about that — except for how they got into that house,' said Ashan M. Benedict, DC Police Executive Assistant Chief of Police.
In the indictment, prosecutors said Handy had called the Washington Surgi-Clinic pretending to be a prospective patient named 'Hazel Jenkins' and scheduling an appointment.
Once there, on October 22, 2020, eight of the suspects pushed their way inside and began blocking the doors, according to the indictment.
The indictment named the other eight suspects as: Jonathan Darnel, 40, of Virginia, Jay Smith, 32, of New York, Paula Harlow, 73, of Massachusetts, Jean Marshall, 72, of Massachusetts, John Hinshaw, 67, of New York, Heather Idoni, 61, of Michigan, William Goodman, 52, of Michigan, and Joan Bell, 73, of New Jersey.
Five of them chained themselves together on chairs to block the treatment area as others blocked the employee entrance to stop other patients from coming inside, the indictment alleges.
Another suspect blocked people from coming into the waiting room, prosecutors charge.
Handy and the eight others were charged with conspiracy against rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
Along with the recent indictment, Handy also faces charges for resisting arrest at an abortion clinic in 2019. She's pictured protesting outside a Planned Parenthood clinic
Handy had founded her own anti-abortion group, Mercy Mission, in 2017, and said she could 'no longer have a normal life knowing that babies were being systematically killed'
The federal law, more commonly known as the FACE Act, prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services.
Handy and Goodman also face charges for resisting arrest at an abortion clinic in Michigan in 2019.
Handy had previous run-ins with the law. A D.C. charter school filed a civil complaint against her for trespassing in December 2015. She was arrested for unlawful assembly outside the school earlier that year.
In 2019, she was arrested for unlawful entry and blocking an entrance at several clinics.
Handy had founded her own anti-abortion group, Mercy Mission, in 2017, telling EWTN, a Catholic television network, that she could 'no longer have a normal life knowing that babies were being systematically killed.'
She said she dropped out of college to stand against abortion clinics.

It was the first census after World War II. The baby boom had begun. The Great Migration of Black residents from the Jim Crow South to places like Detroit and Chicago was in full swing. And some industrial cities reached their peak populations before Americans started moving to the suburbs.
Starting Friday, genealogists and historians can get a microscopic look at those sweeping historical trends when individual records on 151 million people from the 1950 census are released.
Researchers view the records as a gold mine, and amateur genealogists see it as a way to fill gaps in family trees, a field of research that has seen dramatic growth in recent years through the popularity of home DNA testing kits.
“This is genealogy heaven when a census is rolled out,” said Matt Menashes, executive director of the National Genealogical Society. “People are waiting anxiously. It’s hard to overstate.”
For privacy reasons, records identifying people by name can’t be made public until 72 years after they are gathered during the once-a-decade U.S. head count. The 1940 records were released a decade ago.
For Wendy Kalman, an amateur genealogist in Atlanta, the 1950 records will help her solidify details about her parents and grandparents and their relatives. She has traced her father’s side of the family back to 18th century Ukraine, and her research has put her in touch with previously unknown third and fourth cousins in the U.S. whom she talks to regularly.
“It’s an interesting journey to find out where you are from and the census records help you find information that isn’t always available,” said Kalman, 55. “Family stories aren’t always passed down and the census records give you a snapshot in time. It helps put together a picture.”
Ronnie Willis’ relatives from both sides of his grandparents’ families were itinerant farmers who traveled through Texas and Oklahoma as a blended group throughout the 1930s and 1940s. But they broke into nuclear family units after World War II. Willis hopes the 1950 census records help him piece together what happened to those relatives who settled in other states.
“That will help get me 10 years closer to putting the puzzle together, a little bit,” said Willis, 53, a software company executive who lives in Greenville, South Carolina.
Therecords released by the National Archives and Records Administration will be indexed into a searchable website. The digitized, handwritten forms have information about household members’ names, race, sex, age, address, occupations, hours worked in the previous week, salaries, education levels, marital status and the country in which their parents were born. The website will include a tool allowing users to fix any incorrect names or add missing names.
Claire Kluskens, a digital projects archivist at the National Archives, acknowledged that what will be on the website starting Friday is “a first draft,” in which specific people are most likely to be found initially only by searching for whoever was listed as the head of their household.
Two outside genealogical groups, Ancestry and FamilySearch, a division of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have teamed up to serve as a quality check on the records by creating their own index separate from the National Archives.
At Ancestry, scores of workers will be ready at 12:01 a.m. EDT Friday to start downloading the more than 6.5 million digital images of the census files. The Utah-based company will scan the millions of surveys, using artificial intelligence to decipher sloppy handwriting and converting the information into readable database form.
“We are so excited to dive into the census,” said Crista Cowan, corporate genealogist at Ancestry.
Anywhere from 400,000 to 800,000 volunteers across the U.S., under the coordination of FamilySearch, will then double-check the entries with the actual digital images. If the digital record of the 1950 census form says “Wilhelmina” but has been entered as “William” in the index, that will be corrected, said David Rencher, director of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and FamilySearch’s chief genealogy officer.
The effort could take six to nine months, he said.
“We believe we will get better accuracy because we are having humans look at it,” Rencher said.
The new data will flesh out the contours of a dramatically different world.
In 1950, the U.S. had less than half of the 332 million residents it has today. Households were larger, with an average of 3.5 people, compared with 2.6 people per household in 2019. Just 9% of households had someone living alone in 1950, compared with 28% in 2019. Adults were also more likely to be married, with more than two-thirds of adult men and women being married in 1950 compared with less than half of men and women in 2019, said Marc Perry, a senior demographer at the Census Bureau.
Elaine Powell is excited because this is the first release in which she will see herself in the census records. The president of the Central Florida Genealogical Society was born in 1946 and grew up in the St. Louis area.
“It’s just exciting. I remember the first time I found my parents in the census, you could hear me whooping and hollering in the library,” Powell said. “It verifies what you have been told by your parents and grandparents.”
It can also correct the record left by family lore. After all, as Powell noted, “genealogy, without documentation, is mythology.”

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

Auburn basketball lands commitment from Yohan Traore, a 5-star LSU flip
AUBURN — If Walker Kessler does in fact venture into the NBA draft, Auburn basketball has found a suitable replacement.
Yohan Traore, a five-star big man and former LSU pledge, committed to Auburn on Thursday night on Instagram. He is the second-highest-rated recruit in program history at No. 15 in the 247Sports Composite, only behind Jabari Smith.
Traore is the vital piece in reloading a frontcourt that seems likely to lose Smith and Kessler, both projected first-round picks, after one season. Listed at 6-foot-10, 225 pounds, Traore can play the four or the five. In Bruce Pearl's system, he's probably best suited as a center with the athleticism to stretch the floor, like Kessler.
The Tigers have a backup four Jaylin Williams and backup five Dylan Cardwell returning, but Williams is more likely to start. After Auburn's season ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Pearl said he's excited to build around Williams.
Replacing Kessler's efficiency at the defensive end is no easy task. Kessler finished 2021-22 with a 19.1% individual block rate, the highest since Basketball Reference started keeping the statistic in 2009.
Of course, if Kessler hypothetically decided to stay, Traore has the versatility to play the four. He can stretch the floor and attack off the dribble.

AUBURN RETURNERS:Zep Jasper wouldn't be with Auburn basketball without his tutor. They'll reunite in NCAA Tournament
Traore is a product of Dream City Christian High School in Glendale, Arizona. He decommitted from LSU amid fallout of former coach Will Wade losing his job. Wade was fired after LSU received its Notice of Allegations from the NCAA in March.
Traore visited Auburn and told Sports Illustrated last week that he had narrowed his recruitment to a final four. His commitment elevates Auburn's recruiting class from No. 36 to No. 12.

SILVER CREEK, N.Y. (WIVB) – Children from kindergarten to second grade were locked in what’s been described as an “isolation room” at an elementary school outside Buffalo, New York, a district administrator wrote in a letter to the school board earlier this week.
The letter states that at least five students at Silver Creek Elementary School, including a kindergartner, have been “inhumanely and illegally locked or barricaded in an isolation cell.”
“I have been fighting all year to keep children out of the isolation cell,” wrote Jay Hall, the assistant director of elementary programming on Monday.
Hall described the room as a “cold, cinder block jail-like cell,” and said, “It should never, even for one second, be used in any capacity to redirect or punish any child at any time.”
“Children as young as 5 years old are being blockaded and locked in the isolation cell, kicking the door, pounding on glass with their fists, banging their heads, crying profusely, pleading to be freed, all with complicit staff members standing by and watching,” Hall said.
Parents got wind of the letter and started posting complaints on Facebook this week. “You better pray we never find out that our son has ever been put in one of these so called cells!!” wrote one parent.
On Wednesday, the school district issued a statement, saying in part:
“The District is aware that this morning there were concerns raised on social media pertaining to our Elementary School. The District’s most important priority is the safety and security of all District students and staff. We take any concerns and allegations regarding student safety and their wellbeing as the top priority.”
The district said a law firm, which also acts as counsel for the school board, is investigating the allegations. Superintendent Todd A. Crandall said he hopes to have a report by the end of the week.
Kerry Vasquezmarte, a district parent, said the concerns aren’t new. She said her special-needs daughter was locked in a room several times as a pre-K student at the elementary school. She said a classmate witnessed her daughter being dragged by her arms through a hallway.
Vasquezmarte said her daughter cried when she confronted her about the incident and still has nightmares. She said she met with a teacher and Superintendent Crandall over a year ago to discuss the isolation techniques.
“And all he did was blame my child during the meeting,” Vasquezmarte said. “And I said numerous times to get my child, I was taking her home, she’s not being locked in a room. It took me threatening him for him to finally radio down to wherever to retrieve my kid.”
Vasquezmarte said she eventually pulled her child out of pre-K and homeschooled her during the kindergarten year. Her daughter is back at the elementary school for first grade with a “fantastic” teacher, Vasquezmarte said.
“I was only made aware of any concern on Friday, March 18,” Crandall said. “I can’t comment on something from years ago.”
Crandall said the law firm had an attorney on site Wednesday to conduct interviews. The attorney was also on school district property Thursday.
“We are not about hiding anything or trying to cover up anything,” Crandall said. “Student and staff safety is paramount, and we look forward to hearing the results so that if need be we can address any protocol or procedures as needed.”
The New York State Department of Education says it could not confirm or deny that the state was looking into these claims. The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office said it is not investigating the claims at the school because no one has made a formal complaint.

New members appointed to B.C.'s Climate Solutions Council
VICTORIA - B.C.'s Climate Solutions Council, which provides independent advice to government on climate programs, actions and accountability, has been renewed with the appointment of six new members.
"The Climate Solutions Council's advice was central to the development of the CleanBC plan and its early implementation. As a group, it went on to play a critical role helping to establish the CleanBC 2030 Roadmap priorities and measures," said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. "The council's advice on accelerating implementation and expanding climate action under the roadmap is critical to achieving success. The new council members are uniquely qualified to move the Province to the next phase of climate action. Together with returning members, they represent the diversity and collective interests of British Columbians in taking strong and effective climate action, while building a modern, diversified and clean economy."
New council members include Lynda Price, Chief of the Ulkatcho First Nation; Patrick Michell, Chief of the Kanaka Bar Indian Band; Kathryn Harrison, UBC professor and former policy analyst for the U.S. Congress and Environment Canada; Eden Luymes, UBC masters student with a focus on climate justice and global governance; Tamara Vrooman, president and CEO of the Vancouver Airport Authority; and George Benson, managing director, Climate Displacement Planning Initiative.
"The global challenge of addressing climate change has never been more pressing, and progress means having deeply committed people with proven expertise and experience around the table to determine the best path forward," said Nancy Olewiler, co-chair of the Climate Solutions Council. "I am proud of the impact the council has achieved through the early implementation of the Province's climate plan and I know with these new appointments, we will double up on the impact to accelerate the kind of change we all need to see."
British Columbia's Climate Solutions Council provides independent advice to government on actions and policies to contribute to carbon pollution reductions and sustainable economic development. The council includes members from First Nations, environmental organizations, industry, academia, youth, labour and local government.
The CleanBC Roadmap is the Province's plan to reduce carbon emissions across all sectors, creating good economic opportunities while adapting to the ongoing impacts of climate change. It includes clear sectoral emission-reduction targets and pathways to achieve them. The process to achieve the plan's goals is set out in the Annual Climate Change Accountability Report which, under law, is presented to the legislature.

Which action camera body mounts are best?
Action cameras are great devices for capturing exhilarating activities or making the perfect holiday video, but when there’s so much to look at or do, you don’t always want to have one hand occupied holding the camera.
This is where an action camera body mount comes in handy, as it secures the device in place while recording, leaving you free to have fun. If you’re after a Hollywood style of filming, the Stuntman 360 Shoulder Mount is the best choice for you.
What to know before you buy an action camera body mount
Compatibility with your action camera
There are several types of action camera mounts you can use, but the most important factor is compatibility. The protective cases of action cameras are different in size and shape, so it’s important to check if they can be affixed to the mount. Most cameras use the GoPro system of slots and bolts, so it might not be too much of a hassle. Also consider if you want to film using your mobile phone, as there are specific body mounts for that.
Activities you’ll be filming
Action cameras are used to film all sorts of activities, but if you don’t have the correct body mount, you might end up not capturing any footage at all. For example, if you plan on filming underwater, make sure the body mount is in a position to film straight ahead or the seafloor; a wrist mount while swimming is not a good choice.
Action camera kit vs. body mount
Unless it’s a specialized body mount, you might want to consider getting a complete action camera kit instead. Usually, there isn’t much price difference between a body mount and a full kit, making it more value for money. Kits typically include a body, head and wrist mount, attachment accessories and vehicle suction cup.
What to look for in a quality action camera body mount
Strong buckles, clips and straps
The camera is usually secured to the mounting system with nuts and bolts, but the entire mechanism must be securely fastened around your body. Most mounts use buckles and clips, making them perfect for filming action-packed activities like horse riding or motorcycles. Others might use a series of Velcro straps that are easily adjusted but less robust than clips.
Versatility for more positions
A body mount is great for recording what’s going on around you, but sometimes you want to change the camera angle. A basic body mount might not allow you to do that, but a good-quality mount will. By adjusting the strap length, you can change where the mount fits around your body, giving you a different filming perspective.
Durable construction materials
The last thing you want while ripping down the slopes is for your body mount to malfunction due to inferior materials. While strong buckles, clips and straps are important for keeping the mount on your body, the camera needs to stay put as well. A good-quality body mount should have robust and durable materials where the camera is mounted. This is typically made from hard plastic, while others may incorporate metal pieces.
How much you can expect to spend on an action camera body mount
Action camera body mounts are relatively affordable, with chest harnesses retailing for under $10. Body mounts that place the camera at an unconventional location generally cost more, retailing for $20-$50.
Action camera body mount FAQ
Can you put a body mount on an animal?
A. There are some options, yes, but they’re generally for dogs only. Some manufacturers have canine-specific harnesses, which is great if you want to see where your dog goes or their perspective. It isn’t recommended to put a harness on a cat.
Can you charge an action camera while it’s in the mount?
A. In most cases, this won’t be possible. Through the design of the action camera’s external case and the mount, there won’t be an opening to expose the charging port.
What’s the best action camera body mount to buy?

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

Terrorism, nuclear weapons and China top list of Americans’ concerns: Gallup
U.S. adults view terrorism, China and nuclear weapons as the country’s leading threats, according to a new Gallup survey out Monday.
Overall, 82 percent of respondents said cyberterrorism was a critical threat, while 68 percent were concerned about domestic terrorism and 71 percent about international terrorism.
A majority of respondents, about 57 percent, also said they considered China’s economic power a threat to the U.S. Though the survey was conducted prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, 59 percent said Russia’s military power was a threat and 52 percent said the situation in Ukraine was as well.
China has refused to condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine and China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently referred to Russia as Beijing’s “most important strategic partner,” despite growing casualties at the hands of Russia’s military.
As for nuclear weapons, over 3 in 4 respondents in the poll said Iran and North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons was concerning.
The survey was conducted Feb. 1-17 and included a random sample of 1,008 adults in the U.S. The margin of sampling error is 4 percentage points.
North Korea has accelerated its testing of ballistic missiles and other weapons in recent months, with Pyongyang warning in late January that it might resume nuclear tests due to what it described as the hostility of the U.S.
And the U.S. says it is moving closer to reviving an international nuclear deal with Iran, though they warn the window for a deal is closing.
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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose again this week as the key 30-year loan rate vaulted over 4.5% and attained its highest level since the end of 2018.
Against a backdrop of inflation at a four-decade high, the increases in home loan rates come a few weeks after the Federal Reserve raised by a quarter point its benchmark short-term interest rate — which it had kept near zero since the pandemic recession struck two years ago — to cool the economy. The central bank has signaled potentially up to seven additional rate hikes this year.
The developments mean that mortgage rates likely will continue to rise over the year.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan this week rose to 4.67% from 4.42% last week. That's a sharp contrast from last year's record-low mortgage rates of around 3%. A year ago, the 30-year rate stood at 3.18%.
The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, jumped to 3.83% from 3.63% last week.
Home prices are up about 15% over the past year and as much as 30% in some cities. Homes available for sale have been in short supply even before the pandemic started two years ago. Now higher prices and rising loan rates will make it even harder for would-be buyers as the spring homebuying season gets underway.
The government reported Thursday that an inflation gauge closely monitored by the Fed jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year earlier, with sharply higher prices for food, gasoline and other necessities squeezing Americans' finances. That figure was the largest year-over-year rise in 40 years — since January 1982. Excluding volatile prices for food and energy, so-called core inflation increased 5.4% in February from 12 months earlier.
Robust consumer demand has combined with shortages of many goods to fuel the sharpest price jumps in four decades. Measures of inflation will likely worsen in the coming months because Thursday's report doesn't reflect the consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which began on Feb. 24. The war has disrupted global oil markets and accelerated prices for wheat, nickel and other key commodities.
Squeezed by inflation, U.S. consumers increased their spending by just 0.2% in February, down from a much larger 2.7% gain in January.

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.

Police Officer Richard Tichenor, Fire Marshal Dave Foelsch, Fire Chief Rich Crater, Firefighter Frank Magrosky, and former Firefighter Nick Patullo braved 30-degree water to rescue a trapped resident after her vehicle crashed into the water at River Road earlier this year.
At the March 22 Township Committee meeting, Mayor Shawn Lipani honored the first responders with a proclamation for receiving a Lifesaving Award for their actions on Jan. 22.
Patullo entered the partially frozen river to extricate the unconscious seat belted victim, Patricia Perhac, and carry her to safety, according to the proclamation.
Since the first responders found the victim unresponsive, CPR was administered and the victim was transported to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital.
Perhac continues to show daily improvement in her condition, according to the proclamation.
The first responders were assisted by additional members of the Hillsborough Police Department, Branchburg Police Department, Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Dive Team, Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office CART Team, Hillsborough Fire Departments Units 36, 37, and 38, Neshanic Fire Station 48, Somerset County Hazmat Team, Robert Wood Johnson Medics, and Robert Wood Johnson EMS.

Imagine what it would be like if every car in Canada were to careen uncontrollably down a mountain, through a narrow corridor and into the ocean.
That’s approximately what the mass of rock that fell into Elliot Lake, turning a small creek above Bute Inlet into a raging torrent, equated to, according to a new report from researchers on the November 2020 Bute Inlet landslide. According to the paper, roughly 18 million cubic metres of rock descended 1,000 metres into a glacial lake at the head of Elliot Creek in the traditional territory of the Homalco First Nation north of Campbell River on the B.C. mainland coast. The landslide had a mass of 50 million tonnes — equal to the combined mass of every car in the country — and caused a 100 metre Tsunami in a small lake, and sent pretty much everything down the valley to the ocean.
“We expect large events to happen from time to time in areas like that. What’s a little bit unusual though, is the magnitude of the wave. We have seen it in other places too, but I think this is the largest wave we’ve seen in B.C. We haven’t witnessed or seen the effects of anything that has been more than 100 metres high,” said Marten Geertsema, a researcher with the Ministry of Forests. “What’s really remarkable is if you think about that small valley, you wouldn’t be able to outrun this. We lost four million cubic metres of material in that creek in about ten minutes. It eroded to a depth of about 50 metres below the creek bed in a few places. It’s hard to imagine that water power.”
Researchers were quick to head into the valley and collect as much data as possible. Over the past year, they have been compiling and analyzing that data and have recently published their findings.

Part of Geertsema’s research is the effects of climate change on natural hazards. Some of the modelling data presented in the paper can be used to help people prepare for the effects of climate change, particularly as rock slides and rock avalanches tend to increase in the mountains as the glaciers that had formerly held the rocks in place melt away.
“We see an increase in rock slides in mountain areas, mainly in under two situations. One is when glaciers are receding, so they’re often on the walls above those glaciers or in the area of those glaciers. The other area is where we have mountain permafrost degradation,” Geerstema said. “We’re doing research in that area right now. We’re exploring, especially these areas where we think landslides could be more likely to increase — along the glacier margins. We’re looking for these kinds of deformations that may give us an indication that slopes may be ready to fail.”
As glaciers melt, they reveal lakes like Elliot Lake that were once hidden beneath ice. The report shows evidence of a similar rockfall in the same area, but since the lake was covered by the glacier at the time there was no catastrophic outburst flood.
“An older landslide scar that is visible in aerial photography reveals that a landslide occurred from the same location before the 1950s,” the report says. “The older landslide likely ran across the glacier before Elliot Lake formed and thus the catastrophic flood experienced during the recent event could not have occurred.”
Over the past hundred years, over 1,000 similar glacial lake outbursts have been recorded around the world, and over 12,500 people have died as a result. In 2017, an outburst flood in Greenland killed four and washed away most of the fishing village of Nuugaatsiaq.
In Canada, most of the events have been in remote areas that have not caused any injury to people, however, the researchers note that “there is no assurance that this will be true in the future, given increased development and tourism in these formerly remote areas.”
LiDAR data compiled by the Hakai Institute has allowed researchers to do modelling of the slopes, which can be used to indicate dangerous areas in the mountains.
“It was really fortunate that we got LiDAR from before the event and then after,” Geertsema said. “That LiDAR was provided by the Hakai Institute, so we’re pretty grateful to them.”
The Southern Coast Mountains of Western Canada has over 8,000 square kilometres of glacier-covered terrain, and it is seeing some of the fastest glacial loss rates in the world.
