Title IX has been a passionate subject for Candace Parker ever since she learned of its impact while doing a paper on it in the eighth grade.
So, it is no surprise her first documentary as an executive producer is about the landmark legislation. On Saturday, “Title IX: 37 Words That Changed America,” will open coverage of the men’s Final Four on TBS at 1 p.m. EDT.
“I sit here because of Title IX. Although we have so many wins, we have so much further to go. That’s why we went with having the Title IX story told through my eyes so that you can see if Title IX didn’t exist, I wouldn’t exist,” Parker said.
Parker considers herself a first-generation benefactor of Title IX, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Parker’s mother, Sara, attended Iowa before Title IX became law. Candace’s 12-year old daughter, Lailaa Nicole Williams, will have more opportunities.
“It means a lot to be able to have my mom and my daughter be a part of this,” Parker said. “I have inspiration from my mom and her story. And then as well for my daughter, I want to continue to open up doors, and I don’t want her to see limitations.”
The documentary also comes as inequities between the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments are coming under intense scrutiny.
“Something as simple as March Madness, right? Like, now women can use that. That’s unbelievable. It’s 2022,” Parker said. “But things are changing. But it still doesn’t take away that we still have so much farther to go. I think that’s the whole point of doing this documentary is if you invest, it’s not a charity, it’s an investment. And it’s an honest investment of trying to make it work. And I think for so long, we just existed; women’s sports existed as something that had to be there. And now we look at it as an investment, and then I think we can start moving things forward."
Parker won a pair of NCAA championships at Tennessee while being coached by one of the pioneers of Title IX, the late Pat Summitt. Parker has parlayed that experience into a successful career as a two-time WNBA champion and MVP and two gold medals in the Olympics.
Parker is also an accomplished analyst for Turner Sports on its NBA and NCAA Tournament coverage since 2018. During discussions about a contract extension at Turner, Parker and her representatives first pitched the idea of a documentary. It got the green light for production last November.
The documentary includes interviews with Billie Jean King, Peyton Manning, Lisa Leslie, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
“There’s a number of influential voices that I think I have to pinch myself to realize that they’re a part of it,” Parker said. “To have Billie Jean King, like the 10-year-old girl that did a biography project on her, I just think it’s just so special.
“Title IX doesn’t just impact women. To watch Peyton Manning talk about how Pat really influenced his life, as a competitor and just as an individual. To see somebody that is an icon to say that I think speaks to how valuable women in leadership positions are.”
Having the documentary tip-off Turner’s Final Four coverage on Saturday should give it a broader audience. “The Arena” will air following the documentary and focus on the impact of Title IX on sports and society.
This is also the first project for Parker’s production company — Baby Hair Productions — and was also produced with Scout Productions.
“Having a diverse audience, that’s not just the women and girls, we want everyone to see how impactful and powerful women are in society,” Parker said. “To have this be something that we talk about, especially after with ‘The Arena' show, I think it speaks to just how important it is.”

Here’s what the oil reserves are, how they can change gas prices and the political debate over them.
What are strategic oil reserves and how much oil reserves does the U.S. have?
The reserves are what they sound like: Hundreds of millions of barrels of oil tucked away — most of them in salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana — for when there’s a crisis that raises oil prices. We have roughly 568 million barrels in the reserve right now, report The Post’s Tyler Pager and Jeff Stein.
The idea came about in the 1970s after an energy crisis. The U.S. at the time depended on the Middle East to deliver an influx of oil, and some foreign leaders tried to demand U.S. support for regional conflicts in exchange. The U.S. didn’t want to be beholden to other nations in times of crisis, so it started the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
When have they been used?
The idea is to only tap the reserves in a true crisis — a natural disaster or a war — not every time prices go up. “They are an insurance policy,” said Meg Jacobs, an energy expert and author of “Panic at the Pump.” The U.S. has dipped into its oil reserves various times during recent history, like during the Gulf War, or after Hurricane Katrina, when George W. Bush released 11 million barrels of oil.
What is Biden proposing?
The president proposes releasing 1 million barrels a day, for the next six months.
That means about 180 million barrels of oil will enter the economy that weren’t there before. It’s a truly historic amount — about a third of the strategic reserve.
For comparison, in November, Biden released 50 million barrels of oil to try to lower gas prices.
How do oil reserves affect gas prices?
This is debatable. On paper, the idea is that more oil on the market will mean lower prices. But the U.S. uses about 20 million barrels of oil a day, and Biden is temporarily injecting 1 million more barrels a day. “It’s hard to have any kind of release make a serious dent because our consumption is so high,” Jacobs said.
Still, when combined with other tools, strategic oil reserves can lower gas prices, said Jay Hakes, an energy expert and author of two books about the oil reserve, including “Energy Crisis: Nixon, Ford, Carter and hard choices in the 1970s.”
The government can encourage people to use less oil as a way to stick it to Russia, and that can help blunt prices, Hakes said. Biden is also encouraging other countries with strategic oil reserves to release barrels on the global market.
And the U.S. can encourage companies to ramp up oil production back home. That’s what Biden tried to do Thursday. “Too many companies aren’t doing their part and are choosing to make extraordinary profits and without making additional investment to help with supply,” read a White House announcement on the release of the oil. Biden asked Congress to make oil companies pay a fee if they’re sitting on permits to drill on federal land and not actively drilling oil from existing wells there.
But the main benefit is psychological, especially during a war that has united Americans against Russia. “The fact people know the reserves are there is a strength for the country,” Hakes said.
Jacobs said to think of these oil reserves as a weapon against Russia: “The strategic reserve is part of our arsenal, designed precisely for these kinds of situations.”
What are the downsides of using the oil reserve?
The first is that there is less oil to pull from in a future crisis. Building the reserves back up requires the government to purchase more oil, and that may take years.
The second is the impact on the climate. Environmentalists want the U.S. to drill and consume less oil, not more. Biden tried to counter that criticism by saying he would also invoke a law known as the Defense Production Act to have American companies produce materials for batteries used in electric vehicles. (Driving is the No. 1 reason Americans consume so much oil.)
The third downside is for Biden specifically. This might not significantly change oil prices in the short run, and won’t change them in the long run. It’s also hard to know how high prices would be, without the additional oil — so if Americans still suffer from relatively high prices, they might not notice if the reserves are easing the hit to their wallets.
But Biden doesn’t have many other tools at his disposal to shift oil prices. Though he could emphasize conservation — Americans taking individual actions to use less oil in their daily lives — it was not a popular tactic when Jimmy Carter tried it in the 1970s.
So there’s a risk that Biden makes a big deal about dropping more oil into the economy, it doesn’t work, and then he’s out of other significant actions to take.
What are the politics of the oil reserves?
High gas prices are bad news, politically speaking, for a sitting president and his party. Biden’s poll numbers have reflected that: Even as unemployment goes down, Americans still feel pessimistic about the economy — and largely blame him for it — in part because of high gas and food prices.

Manchin delays vote on Interior nominee, citing energy crisis
Senate Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) delayed the nomination of a key Biden Interior Department nominee after holding a rare second hearing for her, citing the ongoing energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Manchin spokesperson Sam Runyon confirmed to The Hill Tuesday that Laura Daniel-Davis, President Biden’s pick to be assistant Interior secretary for land and minerals management, would not be among a raft of nominees the committee will vote on Tuesday.
“As we continue to watch energy being used as a weapon of war by Vladimir Putin, the need for increased American energy production is clear to ensure domestic supplies and help our allies,” Runyon said in a statement to The Hill.
“Ms. Daniel-Davis has been nominated to serve in a role that would oversee the federal leasing programs, and Senator Manchin would like to see more from the Department that it intends to get back to the business of leasing and production on federal lands and waters in a robust and responsible way.”
The committee previously deadlocked in a party-line vote on Daniel-Davis in 2021, and at the time, Manchin voted for her.
Nominations that tie in committee can be introduced for a full Senate vote. However, Manchin granted an unusual — but not unprecedented — request from Ranking Member John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) for a second hearing in February. Barrasso’s office cited what he said were a lack of clear answers on energy issues relating to her role.
The decision to hold the second hearing drew criticism from environmental groups and Manchin’s fellow Democratic member Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).
“Senator Wyden believes the first time Laura Daniel-Davis testified at length on her nomination before the Committee was sufficient,” a Wyden spokesperson said at the time. “This second hearing is nothing more than an opportunity for Republicans to badger, bully and harass a well-qualified nominee for a job that needs to be filled.”
The Interior Department declined to comment to The Hill.
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.

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

David Price waiting to see how Dodgers will deploy his arm
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - The pain was sharp and familiar. It reminded David Price of where he has been. It also told him he still might be able to be the pitcher the Los Angeles Dodgers thought they had nearly 26 months ago.
Price´s quiet spring began the way others have in the five-time All-Star´s 13-year career: His left elbow hurt after his first live batting practice a couple of weeks ago, and he knew the resumption of an old routine was underway.
"Always the elbow,´´ Price said. "It happens every year, all the way back to 2010. Now, everything feels good - arm, elbow and shoulder.´´
It was good enough to impress Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and anybody else who watched Price make his first spring appearance against Cleveland on Wednesday night. The left-hander worked only an inning, but he had two strikeouts and was clocked at 93 mph.
In an abbreviated camp, it wasn´t enough to determine his role. It did remind the Dodgers that Price is still in the mix.
From starter to bullpen, Price´s role with the Dodgers has been uncertain since they acquired the 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner from the Boston Red Sox in a three-team deal that included right-fielder Mookie Betts in February 2020.

Price didn´t pitch at all that year, opting out because of concerns about COVID-19. In 2021, he bounced between the starting rotation and the bullpen with 11 starts and 28 appearances as a reliever. His overall ERA was 4.03.
He arrived at camp in mid-March ready to do anything. Then Roberts mentioned him as a possible starter.
"I´m preparing that way, yeah," said Price, who is in the final year of a seven-year, $217 million contract. "I think it´d be silly of me to prepare to be a reliever if I´m asked to start. So, I´m preparing to be a starter until otherwise."
Otherwise looks to be the case. Roberts projects his starting rotation will be Walker Buehler, Julio Urias, Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Heaney and Tony Gonsolin. He cautioned that nothing is set in stone, mostly because pitchers were limited in a camp cut short by major league baseball´s lockout.
The Dodgers signed career starter Tyler Anderson in mid-March, just in case. As for Price, Roberts said: "I just think that David, right now, is not an option in the sense of, he´s not built up. It just doesn´t seem feasible right now."
The 36-year-old left-hander could still have an immediate role, like one inning in relief early in the season, Roberts said, and moving up to multiple innings as he gets stronger.
"I´m confident in David in any role,´´ Roberts said. "I like his versatility. The role doesn´t matter. It´s just knowing that he´s going to pitch valuable innings in whatever role."
NOTES
Cody Bellinger took batting practice Thursday on the minor-league side of the Dodgers´ camp. The 2019 National League MVP is 4 for 27 with 17 strikeouts this spring.
"I wouldn´t say I´m alarmed,´´ Roberts said. "I think `progressing´ is the word. We´ve got to continue to log at-bats to make him feel as comfortable as possible when the season starts.´´

Rhyan Grant hopes his record-breaking appearance for Sydney FC won't be as forgettable as his first.
"My debut was against Perth (in 2008) and I think I got 15 minutes and we lost 4-1," he told AAP.
Grant will on Saturday surpass Alex Brosque and become the holder of Sydney's appearance record in his 268th game for the club.
Watch the latest Sport on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
The 31-year-old defender has enjoyed plenty of success with the Sky Blues but any hope of silverware this season is fading as Sydney's campaign continues to splutter.
On Saturday they host an A-League Men derby against Western Sydney, who are enjoying a revival under Mark Rudan.
Sydney currently sit outside the finals spots and the Wanderers, who won the last meeting, have two games in hand and can make ground on their rivals with a win.
Steve Corica's side, who have faced a huge backlog of games and an injury toll, have won just two league games in the last six weeks and are in danger of missing the finals for the first time since the 2015-16 season.
"If we knew the answer as to why we would be able to turn it around," Grant said.
"Inconsistencies have cost us and at times we have played some good footy and got some good results.
"Then other times we've been a bit lacklustre and a bit sloppy and we've only got ourselves to blame.
"We've had way too many draws and many losses for what we're used to here at Sydney and for what we expect.
"We've only got six games remaining so we need to get as many wins as possible to make sure we secure a top-six finish."
Grant had offers to go overseas earlier in his career but for one reason or another never took the jump to play abroad.
It's a career-path which has yielded Socceroos selection and he hopes a trip to Qatar for the World Cup later this year.
Grant is aware Australia have underperformed in qualification under Graham Arnold but says that has little to do with the fact that so few Australians are playing in top leagues abroad.
"You're always a chance of a look-in (for the Socceroos) if you do make the move overseas," he said.
"At the same time, I know there's a lot of players that have probably gone overseas and I wouldn't say got lost, but went under the radar in that sense.
"Being here you can be under the national team coach's nose and it's worked out quite well for me.
"We still have a chance to get to a World Cup and match ourselves against those top nations."

Which navigation system is best?
Driving around unfamiliar cities can be stressful if you have no way to check where you should be going. Most smartphones have global positioning systems built-in for this purpose, but they aren’t always accurate.
And if you don’t have a data connection, mobile navigation apps might not work at all. So, in most scenarios, a proper navigation system is the smart choice. The Garmin DriveSmart 61 is one of the best, as it has a large display and detailed maps.
What to know before you buy a navigation system
There are different systems for various activities
It would be easy to assume that there is only one kind of navigation system, as it generally only serves one purpose. But there are several variations with different functions and capabilities. There are marine navigation systems for boat owners and fishers, and for sports lovers, you get golf navigation. Road users have the choice of truck navigation or general road systems.
Consider the mounting options
While your choice of navigation system might be different, all devices must be affixed to the vehicle. These also come in different varieties. Consider which type will be best suited for your mode of transport, as some use suction cups to stick to the window or dash, while you can hold others in place with a vent-mounted carrier.
Controls and functions
Navigation systems have come a long since the days of bulky units with spotty tracking. Many modern navigation systems now have capacitive touchscreens, making it much easier to select the options. Older versions used resistive touchscreens that often caused missed presses or delayed responses. Another addition to modern navigation systems is Bluetooth technology, which allows you to make and receive calls through the device.
What to look for in a quality navigation system
Wide range of points of interest
Getting directions to your location is the primary purpose of a navigation system, but sometimes you also want to know what is along the way. A device with an extensive list of points of interest built-in can make it exciting to plan a trip. Depending on the gadget’s maker and the maps used, these POI can range from national parks, monuments, or sightseeing attractions. Some allow you to download POI from other users.
Battery recharging options
If you rely on your navigation system to get around, you’ll be in real trouble if it suddenly runs out of battery power. Most systems have relatively robust batteries, but some built-in functions can quickly sap more power than you realize. A good-quality navigation system can be charged through a USB cable plugged into a battery pack or directly from an adapter in the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
Lifetime maps and updates
Nobody wants to drive down a road, only to find that it leads to nowhere, even though the navigation system insists that it carries on. To prevent this from happening, navigation devices must be constantly updated to the latest map versions. A good-quality navigation system will supply users with lifetime map updates, changes and additional POI.
How much you can expect to spend on a navigation system
The average price of a navigation system will depend on what it’s made for, who the manufacturer is and its capabilities. An entry-level device with a small screen can retail for $150-$200. Larger units with more functions regularly retail for $200-$300.
Navigation system FAQ
Can a navigation system make you a safer driver?
A. While the system can’t change your driving habits, it can help you to be more aware of your surroundings. It will make you a safer driver by alerting you to speed limits, sharp bends, nearby schools or speed cameras.
Are there different map styles for systems?
A. Yes, and many navigation systems will give you a choice for your preferred visuals. Some systems will automatically change the map’s colors after sunset for safety and easy viewing.
What’s the best navigation system to buy?
Top navigation system
What you need to know: With the large 6.9-inch touchscreen and easy-to-read visuals, this navigation system is perfect for a cross-country road trip.
What you’ll love: The navigation system has a battery life of up to one hour but can easily be recharged through a USB cable. It includes lifetime map updates from Garmin, Wi-Fi connectivity for software updates and hands-free calling. To keep your eyes on the road, you can ask for directions by simply using your voice.
What you should consider: Some users have indicated that alerts can be too frequent, causing a distraction.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top navigation system for the money
What you need to know: Even though the screen is only 5 inches, the Via is more than capable of keeping you on the right track. It features live traffic updates and comes with free map updates of North America.
What you’ll love: The best feature about this navigation system is that the screen splits when you approach a junction. This clearly indicates which direction you need to travel so that you don’t drive in the wrong lane. It ships with a reversible integrated car mount, can give spoken directions in 30 languages and charges through USB.
What you should consider: The map updates are released four times a year, and you’ll only receive speed camera updates for the first three months.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
What you need to know: When paired with your mobile phone, the DriveSmart 55 gives you real-time service updates, such as live parking, locations of traffic cameras and changes in the weather.
What you’ll love: Featuring a 5.5-inch display, this navigation system will route you around traffic so that you can get to your destination faster. You can also use your voice to interact with the device and see TripAdvisor ratings with POI in the area. It is recharged through the included USB cable and can connect to Wi-Fi networks.
What you should consider: It has a resistive touchscreen, which isn’t as accurate or sensitive as a capacitive screen.

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.”

In October, the nonprofit legal watchdog group American Oversight filed a lawsuit against Vos and the Wisconsin State Assembly seeking the release of records related to the investigation.
On Wednesday, Dane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn issued a ruling finding both Vos and the Wisconsin State Assembly in contempt of court for failing to provide those records, despite a court order in November to do so. Bailey-Rihn also ordered Vos and the State Assembly to pay American Oversight’s legal fees and costs.
In her ruling, the judge noted that trial testimony had revealed that a representative for Vos had taken “no reasonable steps to procure records from any contractors,” “no steps at all to review the records he did procure” and “no steps at all to prevent the loss or destruction of the contractors’ records.”
“Robin Vos and the assembly, after hearing and notice, continue to willfully violate a court order, and are therefore in contempt of court,” Bailey-Rihn wrote.
According to the ruling, Vos and the State Assembly have 14 days to submit proof that they have complied with Wisconsin’s public records law and have searched for records that were “deleted, lost, missing or otherwise unavailable,” or to provide an explanation of why a search would not be reasonable. After the 14-day period, they will be fined $1,000 per day until they comply.
Vos and his attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday morning.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, taxpayers are likely to bear the costs of these penalties, which could go beyond the $676,000 in public funds that Vos had approved for the initial partisan investigation.
In a statement, American Oversight noted that Bailey-Rihn’s ruling was a response to only one of three lawsuits the group is pursuing against Wisconsin officials and lawmakers over the Republican-led investigation.
“Speaker Vos and the Assembly have had ample opportunity to comply with the court’s order and produce records,” Melanie Sloan, a senior adviser at American Oversight, said in a statement. “Maybe the threat of a $1,000/day fine until the records are produced will finally encourage compliance and give the people of Wisconsin the answers they deserve.”
Trump and his allies have baselessly alleged for more than a year that the 2020 election was stolen from him, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud that would have changed the outcome. In the weeks after the election, dozens of state and federal judges rejected Trump’s legal efforts to overturn the election results.
Several Republican-led state legislatures — including in Wisconsin, where a recount showed Joe Biden had defeated Trump by about 20,600 votes — then launched partisan investigations into the 2020 election directly tied to Trump’s grievances. In Arizona, for example, Trump and his then-attorney Rudy Giuliani reached out personally to GOP officials there to push them to move forward with an election “audit.”

“High school students are in a mental health crisis,” said Julissa Canales, another D.C. 16-year-old. She wants to be a therapist.
But these very D.C. teens on Monday weren’t posting on social media or complaining to their friends. They had gone to a virtual D.C. Council budget hearing, sitting before a government body, to ask for help.
And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that nearly all the students who spoke or submitted testimony want to do the work — taking care of others — that the adults aren’t doing well today.
“Students are taking the lead on addressing mental health,” Alynah King, a student at Wilson High School, said at the hearing. “Not the adults.”
A few days later, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report that confirmed to Americans what they had known all along in their classrooms, at their dinner tables and in their heads: Our children are in serious trouble. In the grips of the pandemic last year, 1 out of every 5 American teens that the CDC spoke to had considered suicide. Forty percent said they felt “persistently sad or hopeless.”
“These data echo a cry for help,” said Debra Houry, a deputy director at the CDC. “The covid-19 pandemic has created traumatic stressors that have the potential to further erode students’ mental well-being.”
It’s “a national emergency,” the American Academy of Pediatrics declared last fall.
That’s what the kids in D.C. said on Monday, too, in the middle of an annual budget process for the public school system that had nearly 250 witnesses submitting testimony on behalf of their passion, their profession or their pet projects: more baseball fields, a food-education program, fixing the filthy bathrooms in one of the biggest high schools in the city.
And students from across the city who work with the Young Women’s Project, a nonprofit that helps kids find power in their voices, wrote impassioned arguments for more robust and effective mental health programs in all D.C. schools.
“My school doesn’t provide many mental health resources and does not share much information about what they do have,” said Noemie Durand, 17, a junior at BASIS. “It’s baffling and incredibly frustrating that the current health and school systems create so many obstacles to receiving that help.”
Durand said she, like many of her peers, suffered during the pandemic.
“The combination of stress from school, isolation from friends, and an extremely toxic relationship and eventual breakup led to destructive burnout and situational depression for most of my 10th-grade year,” she said. But she has parents with the money and means to get her help. Therapy pulled her out of her depression, she said. When she returned to school, she saw the same issues in peers all around her who didn’t know how to get help.
No surprise: She wants to study psychology.
She’ll have no trouble finding work — there’s a startling shortage of mental health workers in America right now. And that doesn’t bode well for the plan that D.C. Public Schools proposed to help students.
The proposed budget for the 2023 fiscal year is big, up to $2.2 billion from last year’s $2 billion. And mental health services have a starring role, making sure that licensed therapists or psychologists from the Department of Behavioral Health are on all 216 public school campuses.
Staffing up isn’t going to be easy.
“Everybody knows that, around the country, there are really not sufficient numbers of [licensed social workers] to serve in various capacities,” the agency’s director, Barbara J. Bazron, told The Washington Post’s Perry Stein. “We are also working closely at getting more people in our pipeline through our internship programs and so forth. We are doing some of the same things that people around the country are doing.”
Good plan, adults. For the future.
But kids need help now.
“Many students don’t realize that their stress levels are rising until they have a panic attack,” said Abatan, a student at McKinley Tech High School. “They need to know what to do in the moment before they are overwhelmed to the point of adding more mental harm to themselves.”
The students proposed a $5 million initiative to create after-school mental health programs in 125 schools.
And they explained that while many schools do have resources, kids don’t know about them, are disconnected from them or are embarrassed to use them.
“At my school, you usually have to go to a teacher first to get help from a therapist,” Canales, a student at Columbia Heights Educational Campus, said in her testimony. “This presents a problem because students have to share why they need to see a therapist and may not feel comfortable sharing that with a teacher.”
Canales’s goal of becoming a therapist one day is a good one.
Let’s hope we can get it right sooner, though.

Some of Kelowna’s Ukrainian allies have fallen.
Danylo Sora broke the news on the Kelowna Stands With Ukraine facebook page that two “defenders” in Ukraine have died.
Supporters have been sending supplies to defence groups across Ukraine, and had sent the last bags of equipment to the two that have been pronounced dead.
“I bring the message to our community that their help is really important, but to remember that the war is not over yet,” Sora told Capital News.

Final Four coaches feel transfer portal is "out of control"
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Jeff Walz has had a lot of success getting players to transfer to Louisville over the last few years, including three starters on his Final Four team this season.
He's not the only coach in the Final Four who has bolstered the roster by using the transfer portal as both South Carolina and UConn have found supplemental players from it.
Still Walz, Dawn Staley and Geno Auriemma think the amount of players looking to change schools is getting out of control.
"I always like to say, `The grass is greener on the other side because it´s fertilized with a bunch of bull,´" Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "I think there are a lot of players that will jump into the portal after one year that don´t really have a good grasp of why they´re doing it."
Staley likened the portal to Twitter, Instagram or TikTok.
"It´s a big ol´ fad that just keeps continuing," she said. "Is it out of hand? It absolutely is. I don´t know how you control it. But it´s their way. It´s their way of controlling their own destinies."

Both Staley and Auriemma noted that there were currently more players seeking to transfer than there were scholarships available across the country.
"You know those 850 people in the portal? Three hundred of them are not going to find a school to go to because they´re going to realize it´s not the school they just left," Auriemma said.
Despite the reservations, they're still playing along. Emily Engstler (Syracuse), Kianna Smith (California) and Chelsie Hall (Vanderbilt) have been key for Louisville. Engstler and Hall just joined the program this season.
When Engstler was considering the Cardinals, Walz went to Mykasa Robinson to discuss how her role would likely shrink if Engstler were to come and gauge her comfort level.
"She looked at me, and she´s like, `I´m tired of guarding her. If we can get her, yes, because she likes to win, and she wants to play with other good players,´" Walz said.
SOUTH CAROLINA SUPPORT
The Gamecocks have led the nation in average attendance for seven straight years, buoyed by a base of more than 10,000 season tickets. Despite the 1,200-mile distance from campus to downtown Minneapolis, there will be plenty of garnet-and-black-clad South Carolina fans voicing their support on Friday night when the Gamecocks take on Louisville.
"They´ve been with us when we weren´t a popular team or we weren´t a whole lot to cheer about," Staley said. "This is my 14th year being at South Carolina, but the last probably 10, the fans have given us a ride that´s kind of irreplaceable."
One of the catalysts for the attendance boom was giving fans as much as access to the program as they could, to build relationships and let the locals get to know the players as people.
"You really feel the love in the community," guard Brea Beal said. "You can go to the store and run into somebody and they´re like, oh my gosh, just freaking out. It´s like a family."
FOND MEMORY
Walz spent one season at Minnesota on his climb up the coaching ladder, serving as an assistant under current Maryland coach Brenda Frese.
That was 20 years ago, when Hall of Fame finalist Lindsay Whalen was a sophomore for the Gophers on a breakthrough team that reached the Final Four two seasons later. The women's team at that time played in a smaller gym, the Pavilion, next door to Williams Arena where the Minnesota men's team has played since 1928.
A water pipe burst that winter, moving the women's team into the bigger venue. The Gophers were on a roll, and the first game in the building known as "The Barn" was packed to the rafters.
"From that point on, we continued the rest of the season playing in the Barn in front of unbelievable crowds," Walz said.

Former world No.1 Naomi Osaka has reached a championship match for the first time since the 2021 Australian Open.
Osaka's eyes welled with tears when her match against Belinda Bencic ended, an all-too-familiar scene for her in recent years.
Only this time these were of the happy variety for the former world No.1.
Watch the latest Sport on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
The unseeded Osaka defeated No.22 Bencic 4-6 6-3 6-4 on Thursday in the Miami Open semi-finals.
Osaka will meet either meet No.16 Jessica Pegula or No.2 Iga Swiatek on Saturday.
"Damn, I'm almost crying," Osaka said.
Maybe not even almost. She hid her face in an orange towel a few times right after the match ended, at least one tear clearly making its way down her right cheek.
Osaka entered this tournament ranked No.77 in the world, will leave Miami no worse than 36th and would be back in the top 30 if she wins the title.
It has been a long, trying and often emotional ride for Osaka since her win in the 2018 US Open final over Serena Williams.
She was rattled during a loss at Indian Wells on March 12 following a derogatory shout from a spectator, withdrew from last year's French Open to address her mental state and left last year's US Open in tears.
But in South Florida, one of the places she considers home, it's been all support from the fans.
"From the bottom of my heart, thank you," Osaka told them in her on-court interview.
Pegula and Swiatek, who will replace the now-retired Ash Barty as the No.1-ranked women's player in the world next week, meeting in the other women's semi-final on Thursday.

Hurricanes linked to 33 percent surge in death rates after storms
Hurricanes and other tropical cyclones that have pummeled U.S. populations in recent decades were linked to up to 33 percent higher death rates from related illnesses in the months following the storms, a new study has found.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Tuesday, sought to quantify the mortality risks that accompany these storms — information that has been otherwise unavailable, despite the devastation wrought by such events, according to the authors.
Combing through three decades of death records, the researchers homed in on the hidden climate-driven costs of hurricanes: the fatalities that resulted from related injuries, infectious and parasitic diseases, respiratory ailments, cardiovascular issues and neuropsychiatric disorders.
“Recent tropical cyclone seasons — which have yielded stronger, more active, and longer-lasting tropical cyclones than previously recorded — indicate that tropical cyclones will remain an important public health concern,” lead author Robbie Parks, a post-doctoral researcher at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, said in a statement.
Parks and his colleagues said they collected 33.5 million U.S. death records from 1988 to 2018, which they analyzed using a statistical model to calculate how death rates changed after tropical cyclones and hurricanes. The authors then compared the outcomes of these events to equivalent periods in other years — defining hurricanes as “a subset of the strongest tropical cyclones.”
Ultimately, they identified the biggest increase in injury-related mortality rates, 33.4 percent, within the same month that a hurricane occurred. Looking at the broader category of cyclones, they saw the greatest surge in injury-related death rates, 3.7 percent, one month after the event.
As far as infectious and parasitic disease were concerned, the scientists saw the greatest increases in related death rates two months after hurricanes, 11.4 percent, and one month after cyclones, 1.8 percent.
Increases in respiratory disease death rates peaked one month after hurricanes and one month after cyclones, according to the study. Surges in cardiovascular disease death rates peaked during the month of the hurricane occurred and one month after cyclones.
As far as increases in neuropsychiatric death rates were concerned, these peaked within the month of a hurricane, 9.9 percent, and one month after cyclones in general, 1.2 percent.
Women appeared to be much more at risk of increases in mortality rates related to injuries they incurred due to tropical cyclone events. Female injury death rate increases climbed to 46.5 percent, in comparison to 27.6 percent for males in the month of a hurricane, the study found.
When sorting people by age, the scientists found that increases in death rates were higher for those aged 65 years or older in the month following a cyclone, 6.4 percent, while younger individuals experienced a 2.7 percent increase during that time.
With little knowledge available about health impacts that linger in the aftermath of cyclones, the scientists aimed to help improve “resilience to climate-related disasters across the days, weeks, months, and years after they wreak destruction,” according to co-author Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, an assistant professor at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.
Parks, meanwhile, recognized the fact that such storms most frequently impact Eastern and Southeastern coastal regions, stressing that “an outsized proportion of low-income and historically-disadvantaged communities in the United States reside in tropical cyclone-affected areas.”
“Understanding the public health consequences of climate-related disasters such as hurricanes and other tropical cyclones is an essential component of environmental justice,” Parks added.

Latino Owned Rum Based Hard Seltzer Makes Waves, Now Available Throughout Miami, Florida, With DTC Shipping To Over 20 States
MIAMI, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Casalú, a rum based hard seltzer focused on delivering a feeling of home and heritage, while inviting others to share Latino culture, is now available in select bars, restaurants, liquor and grocery stores across Miami, Florida, and ships to more than 20 states via direct-to-consumer platform on DrinkCasalu.com. Made with dark aged rum, 5.9% abv./vol, Casalú sells for $12.99 per 4-pack of 12oz cans. Crisp and balanced with the perfect amount of buzz, Casalú's first offering, "Limón," brings authentic Latino roots to the hard seltzer market. The name stands for the company's ethos. Casa, a sense of home and heritage. Salú, an open door to all who want to share Latino culture.
The origin story of Casalú begins with three friends, now co-founders, Ricardo Sucre and Gabriel Gonzalez of Venezuela and Gustavo Darquea of Ecuador. The trio first met while attending North Carolina State University. It was throughout college they began to share over their drink of choice: rum. They didn't realize it at the time, but they were on their way to bringing the first authentically Latino owned rum based hard seltzer to the market.
Fast forward a few years, and Ricardo, who was widely known amongst the friend group for his dislike of beer, became the group's expert on hard seltzers, eventually purchasing a soda stream and experimenting at home making his own rum-based hard seltzer. The likes of which didn't exist on the market.
While Ricardo was perfecting his rum based hard seltzer, Gabriel, who has a deep love for reggaetón, had been exploring a way to capture a feeling for when Latino culture is being communicated authentically. In 2013, a friend had asked him if he was feeling "tropical" and the concept just clicked. He created "Tropicalation" to express what for him was the best part of his culture, a feeling people share with each other as time passes by. He started a reggaetón playlist with that name to showcase that feeling in every song. It would become a pillar for Casalú.
Gustavo, regarded as the one who 'gets stuff done' in the crew, could see that the seed for a company was being planted. He received a call from Ricardo telling him that he was perfecting a rum based hard seltzer and wanted him involved. That same week, Gabriel also called Ricardo telling him he needed a way to bring Tropicalation to life. Gabriel had a site already up and running combining Latino culture and an early mockup of a can. The three got together and the rest is history.
Through months of hard work, kitchen research, countless taste testing, parties with friends and family and maybe a blessing from their moms, all named Maria, Casalú is now available, the concept of Tropicalation is no longer just a feeling but an actual product, to be enjoyed by all.
"Tropicalation is an idea that you can feel. You feel it when you are with your grandad playing dominoes, when you are with your friends, or when you listen to good music, and it infiltrates your body. My personal way to express Tropicalation started with a reggaetón playlist. It was my choice of songs that would make the listener feel tropical and lose themselves in a moment. That is Tropicalation, the idea that there is a feeling that can change your vibe for the better in an instant," says co-founder Gabriel Gonzalez.
"When you look at every single category in the alcohol industry, you can find a Latino brand in all of them but one. The fastest growing category in the alcohol industry, hard seltzers, now has a brand for Latinos. Not only a brand but a product that is truly authentic to our roots, a dark aged rum seltzer that both our generation and our grandfathers can share together and be proud of being Latino. That's why we are so proud to bring Casalú to the world," says co-founder Ricardo Sucre.
"One of our main priorities ever since we started this journey of Casalú is making sure we're building our team with the most talented individuals, and experts in the fields of marketing, branding and design, financial planning, and management. And of course, individuals that are passionate about our brand concept and are willing and able to take Casalú into new heights. While Miami is home base for us and the first market, we are launching the brand in on the ground, we're also leveraging DTC (direct-to-consumer), e-commerce, strategies to ship Casalú into different markets and start to generate product and brand awareness in other places apart from Miami," says co-founder Gustavo Darquea.
There are 60 million Latinos in the US alone. As the biggest minority in the country, they are having more impact on pop culture than ever. Casalú aims to represent the roots of these consumers and bridge the gap between them and the hard seltzer market.
However, Casalú's is more than a hard seltzer. Casalú's vision is to be a catalyst for Latino culture. Think the next Red Bull, but Latino.

Which RC tanks are best?
Remote-control tanks provide hours of fun for all ages. Whether you’re staging a battle or traversing rugged terrain, these toys are immersive and just plain cool. There are tons of RC tanks out there, from historic replicas to futuristic armored vehicles. Which you choose will ultimately come down to the kinds of features you want your RC tank to have and how realistic you want it to look.
The best RC tank is the Heng Long Modified Edition Remote Control U.S. M1A2 Abrams Tank Model.
What to know before you buy an RC tank
What is an RC tank?
An RC tank is a type of remote-controlled vehicle modeled after real-life tanks used in warfare. Like real tanks, these toys have tracks that allow them to roll over rocks, mud and other uneven ground. They also have swiveling turrets to lock onto their target. RC tanks are controlled by a handheld transistor and run on battery power.
Types of RC tanks
There are two types of RC tanks: historically inspired models and fantasy/sci-fi-inspired models.
- Historic tanks are modeled after tanks that exist in real life from World War I to the modern era. Popular models are those from World War II, such as the American M4 Sherman and German Panzer, and those found in today’s militaries, such as the M1 Abrams.
- Fantasy and Sci-fi tanks have unique designs that don’t appear in real life. These follow the basic premise of a tank with a turret and tracks, but use futuristic color schemes and weapons.
Difference between RC tanks and RC cars
If you were to pit your RC tank against an RC car in a race, you’d be bound to lose. But a desert battle is another story. Both kinds of remote control vehicles have motors, controllers and batteries (though some RC cars use fuel). Yet, RC tanks don’t have nearly as powerful batteries or engines. They aren’t made for blistering speed or maneuverability. Rather, an RC tank is optimized for play. You won’t have to swap tires on these either, as their tracks are much more durable.
How to control an RC tank
RC tanks use a handheld transistor. Like RC cars, some use what’s called a pistol-grip controller. These have an ergonomic, one-hand design that uses a trigger for the throttle, and a wheel on the body of the pistol to turn the tank.
Traditional stick controllers are the classic square transistors with dual-analogue joysticks. You’re more likely to use one of these if you want a tank with a rotating turret as you’ll need to steer and direct the cannon.
What to look for in a quality RC tank
Battery
There are two kinds of batteries in the remote-control vehicle world. Nickel based Ni-MH batteries and lithium based LiPo batteries.
- LiPo: LiPo batteries are typically reserved for performance-oriented models. These durable batteries are powerful and produce a lot of speed, but they are more expensive.
- Ni-MH: Most tanks will use a Ni-MH battery, which is less powerful, but are much safer and more affordable.
Turret
A good RC tank should have a rotating or dynamic turret — after all, what’s the point of a tank without one of its core features? The turret should be able to rotate more than 180 degrees, with 360 being optimal. You’ll also want a turret that can go up or down. Look for around 30 degrees of vertical maneuverability.
Cannon
If your tank has a turret, check to see what its features are as most RC tanks have a shooting mechanism. If you’re buying for a younger user, you’ll want to use your best judgment when it comes to safety.
- Sound effects: When you press fire on your controller, the tank makes a realistic shooting sound. This is a fun detail that doesn’t require any extra supplies, power or supervision.
- Water: Transforming your tank into a little mobile water gun, water should be safe for all appropriate ages.
- Flame or smoke: Taking the tank to the next level, smoke or flames require oil to fire. These definitely require supervision.
- BB or airsoft: These RC tank cannons shoot small plastic or metal pellets. These should be used by older kids and adults.
Durability
You’ll want your tank to stand up to lots of play as well as to the elements. For this reason, durable, hard plastics are a must. In addition, check if your tank is waterproof before you take it through puddles or the snow, as water can damage the electronics and rust out the metal components. Lastly, you want your tracks to be made from either metal or anti-slip rubber. This will help your tank roll over rough surfaces without damaging components.
How much you can expect to spend on an RC tank
A kid-appropriate RC tank will cost anywhere from $50-$120. High-quality replicas with working cannons can exceed $200.
RC tank FAQ
Does my RC tank require fuel?
A. Most ready-to-roll out-of-the-box RC tanks run on battery power. If your tank makes smoke, you’ll need to top it off with oil to initiate combustion.
Are RC tanks safe?
A. Like any RC vehicle, an RC tank is as safe as the person using it. They do move at a decent clip and can bang shins or damage walls. But if you’re purchasing an RC tank that shoots, for a child you’ll need to make sure its cannon ammunition is age-appropriate and that you supervise play.

Dean Elgar, fairly actually, wasted little time imposing his authority on the Bangladesh assault because the Proteas skipper guided his aspect to a powerful place at lunch on the opening day of the primary Test at Kingsmead.
LIVE | Proteas v Bangladesh, Day 1
Taking benefit of some distinctly mediocre bowling, the feisty left-hander struck 10 boundaries in an virtually uncharacteristically fluent, unbeaten 60 off simply 76 balls as he monopolised the scoring.
South Africa reached 95 with out loss at lunch.
Elgar was punchy and composed throughout the wicket, specifically enjoying properly sq. of the wicket on his “weaker” off-side.
It was a testomony to the shape he is in that he might pull a meek short-ball from Ebadot Hossain with such disdain so near the interval.
Meanwhile, the stubborn Sarel Erwee was content material to play second fiddle, leaving liberally and, usually, solely enjoying with a flourish when it was warranted.
That stated, he was squared up by one peach of a supply from Ebadot earlier than being dropped on 32 by wicketkeeper Litton Das when he tried to chop off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
In hindsight, the embarrassing 33-minute delay initially for a malfunctioning sightscreen appeared to distract the Bangladeshis and settle the nerves of the hosts.
Cricket South Africa (CSA), business and advertising and marketing accomplice Megapro and sequence sponsor Betway had determined to place auxiliary, digital screens in entrance of the stadium’s present ones, however a technical glitch meant these did not change to white.
Bafflingly, even when the screens have been in a position to change, the highest proper corners nonetheless bore black.
To compound issues, solely white muslin cloths have been obtainable for protecting, which means that a number of needed to be sourced to ship a white sufficient background.
It’s undoubtedly not an excellent search for Kingsmead although it is subsequently been confirmed that this was a CSA and Megapro mishap, who each failed to check the system.
South Africa, shorn of a number of stars on account of IPL responsibility, handed debuts to ace Lions left-hander Ryan Rickelton and bustling Titans seamer Lizaad Williams in a line-up with some intriguing permutations.
Wiaan Mulder’s inclusion as an all-rounder means the batting order will get some fortification at No 7 and provides them an additional seamer possibility, whereas each front-line spinners – unusually in native circumstances – in Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer have been enlisted.
Teams:
Proteas – Dean Elgar (captain), Sarel Erwee, Keegan Petersen, Temba Bavuma, Ryan Rickelton, Kyle Verreynne, Wiaan Mulder, Simon Harmer, Keshav Maharaj, Lizaad Williams, Duanne Olivier
Bangladesh – Mominul Haque, Shadman Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain

Parker hopes Title IX documentary serves as inspiration
Title IX has been a passionate subject for Candace Parker ever since she learned of its impact while doing a paper on it in the eighth grade.
So, it is no surprise her first documentary as an executive producer is about the landmark legislation. On Saturday, "Title IX: 37 Words That Changed America," will open coverage of the men´s Final Four on TBS at 1 p.m. EDT.
"I sit here because of Title IX. Although we have so many wins, we have so much further to go. That´s why we went with having the Title IX story told through my eyes so that you can see if Title IX didn´t exist, I wouldn´t exist," Parker said.
Parker considers herself a first-generation benefactor of Title IX, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
Parker´s mother, Sara, attended Iowa before Title IX became law. Candace´s 12-year old daughter, Lailaa Nicole Williams, will have more opportunities.
"It means a lot to be able to have my mom and my daughter be a part of this," Parker said. "I have inspiration from my mom and her story. And then as well for my daughter, I want to continue to open up doors, and I don´t want her to see limitations."

So, it is no surprise that her first documentary as an executive producer is about the landmark legislation. (AP Photo/Daniel Kucin Jr., File)
The documentary also comes as inequities between the NCAA men´s and women´s basketball tournaments are coming under intense scrutiny.
"Something as simple as March Madness, right? Like, now women can use that. That´s unbelievable. It´s 2022," Parker said. "But things are changing. But it still doesn´t take away that we still have so much farther to go. I think that´s the whole point of doing this documentary is if you invest, it´s not a charity, it´s an investment. And it´s an honest investment of trying to make it work. And I think for so long, we just existed; women´s sports existed as something that had to be there. And now we look at it as an investment, and then I think we can start moving things forward."
Parker won a pair of NCAA championships at Tennessee while being coached by one of the pioneers of Title IX, the late Pat Summitt. Parker has parlayed that experience into a successful career as a two-time WNBA champion and MVP and two gold medals in the Olympics.
Parker is also an accomplished analyst for Turner Sports on its NBA and NCAA Tournament coverage since 2018. During discussions about a contract extension at Turner, Parker and her representatives first pitched the idea of a documentary. It got the green light for production last November.
The documentary includes interviews with Billie Jean King, Peyton Manning, Lisa Leslie, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"There´s a number of influential voices that I think I have to pinch myself to realize that they´re a part of it," Parker said. "To have Billie Jean King, like the 10-year-old girl that did a biography project on her, I just think it´s just so special.
"Title IX doesn´t just impact women. To watch Peyton Manning talk about how Pat really influenced his life, as a competitor and just as an individual. To see somebody that is an icon to say that I think speaks to how valuable women in leadership positions are."
Having the documentary tip-off Turner´s Final Four coverage on Saturday should give it a broader audience. "The Arena" will air following the documentary and focus on the impact of Title IX on sports and society.
This is also the first project for Parker´s production company - Baby Hair Productions - and was also produced with Scout Productions.
"Having a diverse audience, that´s not just the women and girls, we want everyone to see how impactful and powerful women are in society," Parker said. "To have this be something that we talk about, especially after with `The Arena' show, I think it speaks to just how important it is."

Average gas price hits new record high on Tuesday
The average price of gas in the U.S. rose by 10 cents per gallon from Monday to Tuesday, hitting a record $4.17 per gallon as President Biden announced a ban on Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
According to the American Automobile Association national average gas price monitor, the national average is up 55 cents per gallon since last week.
The record was previously set in July 2008 at $4.103 per gallon, though that record was also slightly surpassed on Monday, reaching $4.104 a gallon.
The price of benchmark U.S. crude oil spiked to more than $129 per barrel Tuesday, an 8 percent boost, and that number is expected to increase.
While the price of gas was already on the rise before Russia attacked Ukraine, primarily due to an increase in demand as states lifted COVID-19 restrictions, prices have only continued to surge since the invasion.
The rising gas prices come as Biden on Tuesday announced that the U.S. will ban Russian natural gas, oil and coal imports, likely causing prices to continue to rise.
“The United States is targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy. We’re banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy,” Biden said in remarks from the Roosevelt Room.
“That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at U.S. ports, and the American people will deal another blow to Putin’s war machine,” he added.
Energy is a large portion of the Russian economy, making up more than half of the country’s exports. It was the U.S.’s most significant import from Russia.

FOCUS: After crisis, Spain right-wing opposition shifts to centre
At a unprecedented congress within the southern metropolis of Seville, the PP will formally hand the reins to Alberto Núñez Feijóo, an skilled politician who will turn out to be Spain’s principal opposition chief.
As effectively as patching up inner divides following a brief-but-brutal disaster, Feijóo will even lead the PP’s response to Spain’s left-wing authorities and to the far-right Vox, which has seen a surge in assist.
The 60-year-old, who has run the northwestern area of Galicia for 13 years, is the one candidate operating, in an indication of the occasion’s need to put aside its inner variations.
And his credentials are spectacular: as regional chief he received 4 absolute majorities and has prevented Vox from making any headway in Galicia regardless of its rising reputation throughout Spain.
He has additionally steered away from scandal, regardless of the emergence of images from the mid-90s exhibiting his friendship with Marcial Dorado, a cigarette smuggler later jailed for drug trafficking.
While admitting they had been associates on the time, Feijóo mentioned he had no concept about Dorado’s unlawful actions.
“We aspire to be the reference for all Spaniards who have ever trusted us — and for those who have never trusted us,” he tweeted forward of the two-day congress which begins on Friday.
An skilled pair of arms will come as a aid following the bitter conflict between two of the PP’s youthful faces: outgoing occasion chief Pablo Casado, 41, and rising hardliner and regional chief in Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, 43.

In February, their increasingly-tense relationship exploded into all-out battle when she accused him of secretly gathering alleged proof of corruption towards her and her entrepreneur brother over a contract to purchase Covid-19 face masks.
Ayuso has denied any wrongdoing. Public prosecutors have opened an investigation into the case.
Tensions between them had sharpened after her landslide victory in regional elections, her success throwing Casado’s lacklustre management into sharp aid, with their public confrontation pushing occasion barons to engineer his ouster.
“The time had come to turn a new page,” mentioned Esteban González Pons, a PP lawmaker within the European Parliament who rushed again to Spain to assist organise the congress.
General elections are due by the top of 2023 however Pedro Sánchez’s left-wing coalition is already worn out by the pandemic, the ensuing financial disaster, hovering inflation, social unrest over spiralling costs and the worldwide uncertainty brought on by the battle in Ukraine.
The nationwide outlook “could get complicated” with inflation and rising costs “hitting people’s pockets ever more deeply while wages remain unchanged,” mentioned Ana Sofía Cardenal, a political scientist at Catalonia’s Open University.

In this context, Feijóo, “who is more centrist, could win votes in the centre or the centre-left”.
The far-right has turn out to be a headache for the PP, which has watched how Vox has, in eight years, managed to acquire 52 of the 350 seats in Spain’s parliament as its personal exhibiting has fallen from 186 to 88.
Although it has taken longer for an extremist, ultra-nationalist occasion to take root in Spain, Vox is completely different from its counterparts in France, Italy or Germany in that it “splintered off from the PP,” admits a senior occasion supply, indicating the entire faction’s founders had been as soon as PP members.
Under Casado, the PP shifted to the appropriate because it sought to staunch the circulation of voters to Vox.
“Lately, our political rhetoric has been using the same language as Vox,” the supply mentioned, though Feijóo’s appointment had raised hopes “that we can win some of them back”.
Feijóo’s job is now “to attract the centrist voters” that introduced former PP prime ministers Jose María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy to energy, mentioned Ernesto Pascual, a political scientist at Barcelona’s Autonomous University.
He must get the message throughout that “moving towards extremism is not the way to win a ruling majority,” he mentioned.
Polls, nonetheless, counsel the PP may need to hitch forces with Vox to control with a majority, prefer it has simply performed for the primary time on the regional degree in Castilla y Leon, simply north of Madrid.

Which Replica perfumes are best?
Scent is our most powerfully evocative sense, and perhaps no perfume brand leans more into the relationship between scent and memory than Maison Margiela’s Replica perfumes. These fragrances attempt to capture experiences and moments from specific places and times, like favorite Replica fragrance By the Fireplace does with notes of woodsmoke, chestnut and vanilla. Here’s how to select the best Replica perfume for your fragrance collection.
What to know before you buy a Replica perfume
Most Replica fragrances are unisex
Maison Margiela is an unconventional fashion house, and its Replica fragrances follow suit by largely ignoring standard gendered fragrance categories. Only a handful of the brand’s fragrances are recommended specifically for male or female users, and even within those categories, users of all genders tend to have success wearing a fragrance that isn’t traditionally marketed for them. Don’t be afraid to sample a fragrance that seems outside the box — Replica may pleasantly surprise you.
Most popular Replica fragrances are eau de toilettes
One important consideration in shopping for a Replica perfume is that the majority of the fragrances available are eau de toilettes, not eau de parfums. Eau de parfum is what we typically think of as “perfume,” and its scent tends to be stronger and longer-lasting, but eau de toilette is frequently more affordable. This is due to eau de toilettes having a lower concentration of pricey fragrance oils (generally 8-12%) than eau de parfums (12-18%). While eau de toilettes tend to be lighter and less complex, some of Replica’s most popular eau de toilettes, like By The Fireplace, are as rich and elaborate as eau de parfums.
Experiment with a gift set
There are a lot of Replica perfumes to choose from, and it’s always possible that the most popular scent in the lineup won’t appeal to you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice or don’t want to risk buying a perfume you’re not in love with, consider trying a gift set. Replica gift sets typically include 10 mini bottles, each with roughly eight wears — enough to get a feel for the perfume. These mini bottles are also great for travel.
What to look for in a quality Replica perfume
Affordable luxury designer quality
Replica eau de toilettes offer complex, unique fragrances at reasonable price points compared to other, more established designer perfume brands. Plus, with three bottle sizes available as well as a sample set, it’s easy to get the right amount of perfume for your budget.
Spray bottles, not rollerballs
Perfume purists often prefer spray applicators to rollerballs, and with good reason. Atomizers help disperse fragrance more evenly on your skin, and rollerballs can pick up debris from contact with your skin and degrade the perfume’s quality over time. All sizes of Replica perfumes come with atomizers.
Thoughtful packaging
In keeping with the brand’s theme of nostalgia and memory, Replica perfume bottles are modeled after apothecary jars. The white labels are fabric, not paper, and they’re printed with the place and year that inspired the fragrance as well as the fragrance notes. The boxes feature Polaroid photographs that depict the place encapsulated by the perfume.
How much you can expect to spend on Replica perfume
Replica eau de toilette fragrances come in two standard sizes. The full-size, 3.4-ounce bottle costs $144, while 1-ounce bottles cost $76. Travel-size, .34-ounce spray bottles are available for $32.
Replica perfume FAQ
How many Replica perfumes are there?
A. Maison Margiela currently makes three Replica eau de parfum fragrances and 18 eau de toilette fragrances. New scents are added almost every year, but a handful have been discontinued over time.
How long do Replica perfumes last?
A. Replica perfumes are popular more for their unique scents than their staying power. For some, this may be a deal-breaker, but keep in mind that a perfume’s longevity depends on many factors. Replica perfumes can last anywhere from two to six hours.
What’s the best Replica perfume to buy?
Top Replica perfume
What you need to know: This unisex fragrance accurately captures the scent memory of relaxing by a fire.
What you’ll love: The unique perfume has notes of woodsmoke, clove and vanilla. It’s a great fragrance for fall and winter.
What you should consider: It may be one of Replica’s more popular fragrances, but it’s also very unique: its top notes are strongly smoky, and the fireplace-like scent may limit when and where it can be worn.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Top Replica perfume for the money
What you need to know: Themed around going out for cocktails at an upscale club, this fragrance starts off with warm spices and rum before drying down into smoky notes of vanilla and tobacco.
What you’ll love: The warm, smoky notes of this fragrance tend to have better projection and linger longer than some Replica perfumes, so it’s a comparatively good value, especially in the smaller size. Though it’s marketed as a male scent, all wearers love it.
What you should consider: It’s a softer fragrance that doesn’t evolve much over time, and it’s best for fans of smoky, masculine scents.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Worth checking out
What you need to know: The notes of coconut and citrus in this freshly sweet fragrance will transport you to a tropical beach.
What you’ll love: While Beach Walk is a distinctly summery fragrance, it’s also fun to wear off-season when you need a sunny pick-me-up. It’s a good choice for someone new to perfume or who wants a light, non-traditional fragrance.
What you should consider: Some users interpret the scent as too similar to sunscreen for their tastes.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey

Amid record gas prices, lawmakers divided over US energy future
As gas prices in the U.S. hit a 14-year high, Democrats met GOP resistance Tuesday during a hearing on the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles.
House Energy and Commerce subcommittee members sparred over the international implications of a potential U.S. shift away from oil and gas, how hard to push electric vehicles (EVs) as an alternative and how Russia’s war on Ukraine is changing the world’s energy landscape.
“Americans are facing sticker shock at the gas pump. Russian president Putin’s premeditated invasion of Ukraine is driving up gas prices all over the world,” said full committee chairman Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., (D-N.J.), echoing sentiments coming out of the White House.
“These prices remind us yet again that we must kick our oil habit and free ourselves from the price and volatility of fossil fuels.”
Gas prices reached an average of over $4 per gallon this week, the highest since 2008. President Biden on Tuesday announced a ban on Russian oil, “targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy,” while the House is also set to vote on a Russian fuel ban Tuesday.
Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) said the U.S., which was importing about 700,000 barrels of Russian oil per day before the invasion of Ukraine, had become overly reliant on foreign oil, rather than increasing domestic production.
He described U.S. energy policy as “a voluntary descent into an energy crisis when there’s no real restriction on the resource that’s causing it.”
However, Democratic lawmakers at the hearing pushed for renewed focus on electric vehicles to protect from future oil shocks related to geopolitical conflicts or disasters.
“It’s very clear to me that the U.S. cannot drill its way out of this crisis,” said Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif).
Biden signed an executive order in August of last year setting up goals that half of all new vehicles sold by 2030 would be zero-emissions vehicles and that 500,000 electric vehicle charges would be deployed in the same time frame.
“If we want to reduce Putin’s power… then we need to double-down on alternatives, not on the same old failed policies of the past,” Pallone said, adding that with the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last November, “we have the historic opportunity to charge forward on EVs.”
The bill set aside $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and a $2.5 billion competitive grant program with funding designated for rural and underserved communities.
Pallone said the U.S. must make “smart investments to usher in the post-oil era as quickly as possible.”
Republicans largely disagreed, at least in the short term.
“Today, America is the world’s leading producer of oil and gas, not Russia. Republicans and Democrats should embrace this fact and use American oil and gas to deter Putin,” said Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.).
Republicans advocated for renewed investment in American oil to signal U.S. power.
“Our allies should not have to depend on energy from regimes that attack freedom. Nor should Americans,” said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), of Europe’s reliance on Russian oil.
Democrats pushed back, saying that their colleagues across the aisle were using the Ukraine conflict to push the U.S. back toward reliance on the oil and gas industry.
The parties also sparred over whether electric vehicles would be cost-efficient: Upton argued that electric vehicles aren’t feasibly priced for everyday Americans, while Pallone argued they would save consumers money at the pump long-term.
Experts at the hearing also weighed in on what the shift to electric vehicles would mean for U.S. competition against China.
Natalie King, CEO of Dunamis Clean Energy Partners, said American workers could “make a superior American-made EV charging product, which will also lessen our dependency on outside countries like China.”
But Thomas Pyle, president of the Institute for Energy Research, said electric vehicles would increase dependence on China — because of China’s dominance in the global battery supply chain.
“The idea that pipelines are somehow dangerous and unnecessary, you know, that started a long time ago and we really need to get out of that idea,” he said.
Others argued that the solution isn’t cut and dry, saying the key to U.S. energy resilience was diversification.
“Diversification is good for the United States. We shouldn’t just look to oil and gas to solve our problems. I think we should’ve learned that lesson by now,” Peters said.

English sits out Masters while recovering from hip surgery
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Harris English has decided not to play in the Masters next week as he recovers from surgery to repair a torn labrum.
English was a two-time winner on the PGA Tour last year and finished third in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. He has not played since the Sony Open in Honolulu the second week of the year.
"I´m progressing very well from recent hip surgery, but have to exercise caution as I return to play," English said on Twitter.
There are no alternates at the Masters, an invitation tournament. That puts the field at 90 players, with one spot available if the Texas Open winner this week is not eligible.

Pressure Technologies PLC said Thursday that it is confident of achieving full-year market expectations thanks to its increasing order book.
The U.K. specialist-engineering group said order intake for high-value defense contracts in the Chesterfield Special Cylinders business increased during the first half of its year and it should benefit from the lifting of Covid-19 travel restrictions.
For the Precision Machined Components business, it said improving enquiry and order intake levels are encouraging and the order book at the end of February was at its highest level since August 2020.

Dionne Warwick and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Krayzie Bone will announce the charity NFTs via a live-stream event on Justice Day, April 15th.
NEW YORK , March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Confront Art, an organization that produces social justice art installations, has rallied a diverse group of artists, designers, and activists to create a charity NFT campaign launching on April 15 to honor Justice Day.
Confront Art will release 9,000 NFTs on mintNFT.com with proceeds supporting the prospective charities: We Are Floyd Org., The Breonna Taylor Foundation, and The John and Lilian Miles Lewis Foundation. The NFT project is an extension of Confront Art's 'SEEINJUSTICE' series, which debuted three powerful sculptures by artist Chris Carnabuci of John Lewis, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd at New York City's Union Square in wake of the events in 2020.
Justice Day is designed to be an open platform to engage and inspire artists, activists and thinkers to collaborate and co-create together. Justice Day will honor and commemorate the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which passed the first federal hate crime laws in the United States prohibiting individuals from injuring, intimidating, or interfering with any person because of race, color, religion, or national origin. With widespread support Justice Day will be considered eligible to become a National Holiday by 2023.
"My brother's death was a catalyst for change," says Terrence Floyd, Founder of We Are Floyd Org. "We cannot let that change, and that momentum slow. There is still a huge divide in this country, and if we can start on a community level, creating educational opportunities and safe spaces for the youth to gather and learn, then we can create change and hope where there once was a void."
Dionne Warwick, American singer, former TV host, and Goodwill ambassador will announce her support and participation in the NFT project on the live-streamed event. Warwick has agreed to include selections of her latest single 'Power in the Name' featuring Krayzie Bone in the NFT. "I'm thrilled to be using this new NFT technology to raise awareness and funds for social justice programs." said Warwick. "Using song to shine light on charity is not new to me, with We Are The World in 1985 we raised an incredible amount of money and awareness, and now I'm excited to be part of the SEEINJUSTICE campaign, using art and song in new ways to move forward progress and change."
"We are constantly looking for innovative ways to support artists and charities," said Andrew Cohen & Lindsay Eshelman, Co-Founders of Confront Art. "We are excited to bring together entertainment legends and emerging artists alike for a major movement for social justice and charity in the metaverse."
The campaign aims to celebrate, support, and promote diverse emerging NFT artists. The artists participating in the NFT project include LÁOLÚ NYC, Jesse Uranta, JOJO ABOT, Izzakko, Denny Ow, Sasha Bianca, Menyelek, Milana Burdette, SuperWAXX, Q. Oliver, Candace Dane and more.
The live-stream and NFTs will be available exclusively on mintNFT, a new platform that aims to provide users with a simple, safe, and social experience with NFTs. From automated wallet creation to accepting credit cards, users do not need to be crypto-fluent to participate. Additionally, unique videos that are part of the smart contract not only showcase the creation story of the NFT but ensure buyers the NFT they are purchasing is authentic.
"NFTs are all about community building, but those communities cannot grow if people think engaging in NFTs will be too difficult or you need to have crypto. Projects like this one are too important to have barriers like that in place," said James Sun, Founder and CEO of mintNFT. "We're grateful to play a role to help break those barriers down so that all people can fully engage in a project that uplifts multicultural artists' voices and benefits these valuable charities."
Users are encouraged to utilize the Discord server (@SEEINJUSTICE) as a discussion forum.

Which rustic lampshade is best?
Rustic decor can make any space feel warm and homey, but as you cozy up with a hot beverage around the fire, your lampshades might stick out like a sore thumb. How do you style something so functional to match the homespun aesthetic of your rustic decor?
From earthy colors to organic materials, rustic lampshades are the perfect accent to a cabin-inspired interior. Whether your vision of rustic is understated and minimal or decadent like a hunting lodge, the best rustic lampshade is Brentwood Collection Oatmeal Tall Linen Medium Drum Lampshade.
What to know before you buy a rustic lampshade
What is rustic?
Rustic is an interior design style inspired by frontier and country living. It emphasizes natural, organic and raw materials typically found in homes built with resources immediately available to those living off the land. Think exposed cross beams, unfinished wood or logs, animal hides and raw leathers, wrought or cast iron, heirloom or antique furniture and warm, thick knit fabrics.
What makes a lampshade rustic?
The modern lampshade is a fairly recent invention, coinciding with the discovery of electricity. So, many rustic lampshades use inspiration from premodern living to imagine a utilitarian, repurposed aesthetic. These are made from raw, organic materials and are typically decorated with a mixture of natural and folk motifs.
If you want a camp-like aesthetic, look for lampshades with silhouettes or stenciling of plants or animals. Many seek to imitate the appearance of animal hide, radiating an amber glow.
If understated and contemporary rustic is your thing, natural colors such as beige, sage green, ocher and amber all look good with raw woods.
Types of lampshades
Lampshades come in all shapes and sizes:
- Empire: These are conical lampshades. They’re shaped so that most of the light emits from the wider bottom, making them perfect for table lamps.
- Bell: These lampshades are similar to empire shades in effect but have a concave curve traveling from the narrow top to their flared bottom.
- Round: Round shades can come in a classic drum or oval shape. They diffuse light in an even, ambient manner, suiting them well to floor lamps.
- Square: These modern, geometric shapes are good at even lighting but might clash with the organic forms of rustic decor.
- Dome: Used with overhead lights or table lamps, these are shallow with wide openings to spill out lots of light.
What to look for in a quality rustic lampshade
Material
- Linen: Elegantly textured, this material is popular for its durability and simplicity, fitting almost any decor.
- Cotton: Cotton is a little more uniform than linen thanks to its tighter weave. It’s lightweight and soft.
- Paper: Paper lampshades have lots of texture and are good at simulating rustic materials. They’re the most translucent material.
- Silk: Silk is a very luxurious material that can class up any room. It’s thick with a classic sheen.
- Fiber: Elaborate lampshade designs can be made from sculptural materials such as wood. Look for wicker, rattan or burlap. Light quality depends on their weave.
Fitter
The fitter is the structural component that attaches the shade to your lamp. There are four kinds:
- Spider: A spider fitter sits at the top of the shade and uses spokes to hold up a center washer that connects to your lamp. You lock it on with a finial.
- Clip-on: Clip-ons use clamping metal tongs to clasp the light bulb of your lamp.
- Uno: These are similar to spider fitters in their design but travel to the bottom of the lamp so they rest at the base of the light bulb.
- Screw-on: Like uno fitters, screw-ons sit beneath the light bulb, screwing onto the lamp fixture.
Finials
These are the little decorative end pieces that screw the fitter onto the lamp. If your lamp fitter requires a finial, think about the design you want. Many ornamental finials are better suited to classically inspired decors, but that doesn’t mean your rustic home has to do without these fun accents. Pine cones, driftwood, sculptural wildlife and other country-living inspired materials or flora and fauna all look great on a rustic lampshade.
How much you can expect to spend on a rustic lampshade
Depending on the material, a rustic lampshade can cost $30-$70.
Rustic lampshade FAQ
What width lampshade do I need?
A. If you’re styling a table lamp, most designers recommend choosing a lampshade whose base diameter measures within 2 inches of your lamp’s height. To get your lamp’s height, measure from the base just up to where the bulb’s socket cap begins. For floor lamps, you have more flexibility — size just so that the bulb has at least 2.5 inches on either side.
What height lampshade do I need?
A. Similar to width, the lampshade should be within a half-inch of the height of the lamp’s harp. The harp is the wire frame that begins at the socket cap and extends above the bulb so you can install your shade. If your lamp doesn’t have a harp, don’t exceed the height of the lamp’s body; aim for two-thirds the height.
How do I match my lampshade to my lamp?
A. When choosing a lampshade shape, you want it to mirror the shape of your lamp. A square base and round body match a lampshade of the same composition. Likewise, an oval shade looks great on a cylindrical lamp, but wonky on a squat, square one. There are no hard and fast rules, but this general guideline typically makes for a good pairing.

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

Overnight Energy & Environment — Biden takes aim at Russian oil, gas and coal
Welcome to Tuesday’s Overnight Energy & Environment, your source for the latest news focused on energy, the environment and beyond. Subscribe here: thehill.com/newsletter-signup.
Today we’re looking at the Biden administration’s ban on Russian oil and other energy imports, and President Biden’s acknowledgement that prices at the pump will “go up further” for U.S. drivers.
For The Hill, we’re Rachel Frazin and Zack Budryk. Write to us with tips: rfrazin@thehill.com and zbudryk@thehill.com. Follow us on Twitter: @RachelFrazin and @BudrykZack.
Let’s jump in.
Biden warns of Russia energy ban’s impact
President Biden announced Tuesday that the U.S. will ban Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports as part of his administration’s response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The United States is targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy. We’re banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy,” Biden said in remarks from the Roosevelt Room.
“That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at U.S. ports and the American people will deal another blow to Putin’s war machine,” he added.
Biden signed an executive order banning Russian energy imports as well as new U.S. investment in Russia’s energy sector, the White House said in a fact sheet. The order will also prohibit Americans from “financing or enabling” foreign companies investing in Russian energy production, the White House said.
OK, but let’s talk energy prices: The White House had been reticent to ban the imports as gas prices have soared, but there have been growing calls from members of both parties to ban Russian oil as punishment for Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
Biden, in his remarks on Tuesday, noted that the effort would likely increase costs in the U.S., saying prices will “go up further.”
“This is a step that we’re taking to inflict further pain on Putin, but there will be costs as well here in the United States,” he said, noting that he would take steps to minimize the impact.
He reiterated previous remarks that such actions were part of the cost of defending freedom.
“I said I would level with the American people from the beginning, and when I first spoke to this I said defending freedom’s going to … cost us as well,” he said.
“Republicans and Democrats alike understand that. Republicans and Democrats alike have been clear that we must do this,” Biden added.
The mechanics: A senior administration official told reporters that the ban on new purchases of Russian energy would take effect immediately, but there will be a 45 day “wind down” period under which purchases that have already been made can be delivered.
Read more about Biden’s move to ban oil imports here.
AND WHAT’S HAPPENING IN EUROPE?
The European Union is eyeing a plan to cut its reliance on Russian natural gas by two-thirds this year, and get off Russian fossil fuels entirely by the end of the decade.
The European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, said in a statement the effort to move away from Russian natural gas was in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The plan laid out several steps that it said would cut its dependence on Russia’s natural gas, including working with international partners to diversify its natural gas supply, speeding up permitting for renewable energy projects and adding solar panels and energy-efficient improvements to homes and buildings.
It would also double its 2030 goal of producing gas through agricultural waste and create an accelerator for hydrogen energy.
“We must become independent from Russian oil, coal and gas. We simply cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement.
The United Kingdom also said it would work to phase out Russian oil imports by the end of the year.
And, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky applauded Biden for “striking in the heart of Putin’s war machine and banning oil, gas and coal from U.S. market” and urged other countries to follow suit.

BIDEN GOES ON DEFENSE
President Biden on Tuesday pushed back against criticism from Republicans that his energy policies are to blame for soaring gas prices during an announcement that the U.S. would no longer allow imports of Russian oil.
In his remarks on Russian oil imports, Biden argued that his administration’s policies are not limiting domestic energy production, insisting the U.S. needs to invest in clean energy so Americans are not at the mercy of gas prices.
“It’s simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production. That’s simply not true,” Biden said. “Even amid the pandemic, companies in the U.S. pumped more oil during my first year in office than they did during my predecessor’s first year.”
White House officials have used the comparison of Biden’s first year in office to the Trump administration’s first year in office to argue they have not capped oil production, though production was higher in 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Biden also noted that 90 percent of onshore oil production in the United States happens on land not owned by the federal government, and he pointed to thousands of acres that oil and gas companies have leased for drilling they are not using.

One nominee held up, others advance
Senate Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) delayed the nomination of a key Biden Interior Department nominee after holding a rare second hearing for her, citing the ongoing energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Manchin spokesperson Sam Runyon confirmed to The Hill Tuesday that Laura Daniel-Davis, President Biden’s pick to be assistant Interior secretary for land and minerals management, would not be among a raft of nominees the committee would vote on Tuesday.
“As we continue to watch energy being used as a weapon of war by Vladimir Putin, the need for increased American energy production is clear to ensure domestic supplies and help our allies,” Runyon said in a statement to The Hill.
“Ms. Daniel-Davis has been nominated to serve in a role that would oversee the federal leasing programs, and Senator Manchin would like to see more from the Department that it intends to get back to the business of leasing and production on federal lands and waters in a robust and responsible way.”
The committee previously deadlocked in a party-line vote on Daniel-Davis in 2021, and at the time, Manchin voted for her.
IN OTHER NOMINEE NEWS
President Biden on Tuesday formally nominated Joseph Goffman to lead the EPA’s air office, a role he has informally held since the start of the administration. Goffman formerly worked in the Obama administration and is expected to face opposition from Republicans.
Biden also nominated Evelyn Wang to lead the Advanced Research Project Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) and David Applegate to lead the U.S. Geological Survey.
And the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee advanced the nominations of Shalanda Baker to direct the Energy Department’s (DOE’s) Office of Minority Economic Impact, Asmeret Asefaw Berhe to lead DOE’s Office of Science and Joseph DeCarolis to lead the Energy Information Administration.

To encourage park visitors to experience, connect with, and protect the park’s unique resources, the centennial celebration includes a series of events throughout the spring and summer planned and hosted by the Deception Pass Park Foundation. The money raised through these events and supporting partnerships will help fund capital improvements for the park for years to come.

Sign up to attend or volunteer.
The biggest event in the Centennial celebration, the Community Picnic in the Park on July 23, brings back an old tradition started in 1919 before Deception Pass Park was even recognized as a state park. The 1922 picnic was even the location of the park’s original dedication. The Community Picnic will feature music, entertainment, food, festival vendors, and a beer garden. Event attendance is free and no registration is required, so please join the Park Foundation at East Cranberry Lake! The beer garden will have a varied selection of amazing local breweries: Two Beers Brewery, Anacortes Brewery, Chuckanut Brewery, District Brewing Co, Farmstrong Brewing Co, LaConner Brewing Co, North Sound Brewing Co, Penn Cove Brewing Co, and Wicked Tuna Brewing Co.
Many of the beers that will be featured at the Community Picnic have been specially created to commemorate the centennial celebration. Deception Pass Park Foundation has teamed up with Two Beers Brewing to release a seasonal Deception Pass Summer Ale. Felix Madrid, General Manager for Two Beers Brewing Co, was approached by Park Foundation Board members with the opportunity to create a celebratory beer benefiting the Park Foundation’s fundraising efforts. “Naturally, we try to include beer in all of our celebrations,” explained Madrid. “Our ethos at Two Beers centers around ‘Drink Beer. Go Outside. Be Happy.’ Creating Deception Pass Summer Ale is the perfect way for us to mark the celebration in the best way we know how.”
The centennial logo for Deception Pass Park Foundation as well as the can and box design for Deception Pass Summer Ale were created by Justina Burns, Two Beers Brewing Lead Designer. The 6 pack 12oz box is slated to hit the market in Washington late April and pays tribute to the beauty of Deception Pass Park with iconic imagery from the Pass. Packages of Deception Pass Summer Ale will be released at The Woods Tasting Room in SoDo on April 14 and the beer is currently available there on draft.

Riyadh, Mar 26: Saudi Arabia pledged maximum security to reassure rattled Formula One drivers as the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was set to go ahead despite an attack on an oil facility nearby by Yemen's Huthi rebels.
The drivers revealed their concerns over the attack, which sent black smoke billowing over the area and was part of a wave of drone-and-missile assaults that triggered retaliatory airstrikes on rebel strongholds.
The Iran-backed Huthi rebels fired on 16 targets across Saudi Arabia as they mark seven years since the Saudi-led coalition intervened in support of the government in Yemen, the Arab world's poorest country.
The conflict has killed hundreds of thousands of people directly or indirectly and displaced millions, creating what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
Drivers including seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton have also expressed human rights concerns about racing in Saudi Arabia, where 81 people were executed in a single day earlier this month.
After hours of talks with the pilots, team principals and Saudi officials on Friday, Formula One and governing body the FIA said it had received "assurances" that the race in Jeddah can be held safely.
"Saudi government authorities and security agencies... have given full and detailed assurances that the event is secure," a joint statement said.
"It has been agreed with all stakeholders to maintain a clear and open dialogue throughout the event and for the future."
Regular media interviews were cancelled on Friday during the talks over the race's future. But the pilots' union, the Grand Prix Drivers Association, said it was a "difficult day for Formula One and a stressful day for us Formula One drivers".
"Perhaps it is hard to comprehend if you have never driven an F1 car on this fast and challenging Jeddah track, but on seeing the smoke from the incident it was difficult to remain a fully focused race driver and erase natural human concerns," a statement said.
During "long discussions", Saudi government ministers "explained how security measures were elevated to the maximum" to allow the race to go ahead, it added.
The attacks on targets including oil facilities, an electrical station and a water plant came as oil prices soar on supply fears following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia, one of the world's biggest crude exporters, has rebuffed calls to pump more oil in a bid to stabilise markets, sticking instead to the steady increases agreed by the OPEC+ oil alliance.
The US, Britain and France were among the countries to condemn Friday's attacks, the latest in a series of similar assaults by the Huthis.
The Saudi-led coalition hit back with airstrikes on Sanaa, Yemen's rebel-held capital, and the port city of Hodeidah, official Saudi media said. Rebel reports of casualties could not immediately be confirmed.
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix's second edition will resume with the final practice session ahead of qualifying at 1700 GMT.

Four weeks before attack, psychologist had ‘no concerns’ about killer’s mental health
Four weeks earlier than Hannah Clarke and her three kids had been burnt alive, a psychologist stated she had “no concerns” concerning the killer’s psychological well being, that he was “coping remarkably well” along with his marriage breakdown, and that restarting contact along with his kids “would be ideal”.
Psychologist Vivian Jarrett struggled to elucidate her evaluation of Rowan Baxter, and she or he was clearly shaken when she left the coronial inquest on Thursday, which is coming to an in depth after nearly two weeks of proof.
Ms Clarke, 31, and her kids – daughters Aaliyah, 6, Laianah, 4, and son Trey, 3 – died after Baxter doused the within of the household’s SUV in petrol and ignited it in Camp Hill in Brisbane’s south on February 19, 2020. Baxter died on the scene from self-inflicted wounds.
Ms Jarrett was one in every of a number of professionals to have contact with Baxter within the weeks earlier than the killings. He had repeatedly insisted he did not have a problem.
Ms Jarrett noticed Baxter for six classes and wrote a letter on January 21, 2020, giving her opinion of his psychological well being, his parenting talents and whether or not he ought to have entry to his kids.
“Mr Baxter has been stressed over his wife leaving him suddenly, but has been coping remarkably well, given the situation,” the letter stated.
“I have no concerns with his mental health. Contact with his children would be ideal and after reviewing his parenting strategy, all seems in order for him to regain contact.”
Twenty-nine days later, Baxter killed them.
Jacoba Brasch, the barrister aiding deputy state coroner Jane Bentley within the inquest, requested whether or not Ms Jarrett ever thought Baxter could possibly be “pulling the wool” over her eyes.

MORGAN CITY, La., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Conrad Industries, Inc. (OTC Pink: CNRD) today announced its 2021 results and backlog.
The Company had net income of $6.5 million and earnings per diluted share of $1.29 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to net loss of $4.0 million and loss per diluted share of $0.80 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. Net income for 2021 includes other income related to Payment Protection Plan loan forgiveness and Employee Retention Credit. The Company's financial reports are available at www.otcmarkets.com.
Our backlog as of December 31, 2021 was $148.5 million, compared to $183.7 million at December 31, 2020, and $79.2 million at December 31, 2019.
Johnny Conrad, Chairman and CEO stated, "Our results for 2021 reflect a continued challenging operating environment. The improving but uneven pace of pandemic recovery in 2021 was accompanied by sharp increases in steel prices, inflationary price increases in other materials and equipment, supply chain disruptions and a tight labor market."
Mr. Conrad continued, "Although we face substantial uncertainties in our markets, we believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities when market fundamentals improve. We believe customers have delayed orders due to high steel prices and pandemic uncertainties, and that some of these orders will move forward when steel prices decline or our customers' business opportunities or fleet replacement needs require the vessels. We have seen a continued strong market for dredging and other infrastructure-related vessels, which we expect may continue, supported by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021. We are also optimistic about opportunities in our repair and conversions segment."
Mr. Conrad concluded, "We are optimistic about our long-term prospects including the recent award of a contract by the U.S. Navy for the design and construction of a Yard, Repair, Berthing and Messing ("YRBM") barge, with options for an additional seven barges. This contract along with the infrastructure and repair markets are encouraging signs for the future of our business."
Conrad Industries, Inc., established in 1948 and headquartered in Morgan City, Louisiana, designs, builds and overhauls tugboats, ferries, liftboats, barges, offshore supply vessels and other steel products for both the commercial and government markets. The company provides both repair and new construction services at its five shipyards located in southern Louisiana and Texas.
Cautionary statement: This press release contains forward-looking statements, which are all statements other than those of historical facts, and reflect our expectations as of the date of this press release about future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, current high steel prices and constrained availability, competition, our reliance on cyclical industries, ability to perform contracts at costs consistent with estimated costs utilized in bidding, and ability to replenish our backlog and compete in changing markets. These and other risks are discussed in more detail in our Annual Report and subsequent reports available on www.otcmarkets.com. Should one or more of these risks materialize, achievement of anticipated results may differ materially from those anticipated. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, other than through our regular quarterly and annual reports.

Which Sony soundbar is best?
The best Sony soundbar for you depends on many factors, though it’s hard to go wrong with such a trusted brand. Sony offers a range of soundbars, so most buyers can find one to accommodate their budget and needs. Still, some find it daunting to sift through the various speaker options available, especially if they don’t know what they’re looking for.
The Sony HT-A5000 Soundbar offers superior audio, and it works great with voice-command systems like Alexa and Google Assistant.
What to know before you buy a Sony soundbar
Other audio and video devices
Soundbars are commonly used as the primary speaker for television audio or as central speakers for a complete home theater system. Those looking to buy a Sony soundbar will need to consider what other audio and video hardware they plan to use with the soundbar. Even if you aren’t adding your soundbar to a home theater system with other speakers, they’re compatible with nearly all Sony speakers, letting you upgrade later if you want.
Audio formats
Soundbars can vary in what audio formats they support. Support for high-resolution audio formats is a must if you’re hoping to get the best possible sound out of your speakers. The two most common and highest-resolution audio formats to look out for are Dolby Atmos and DTS: X. However, each of the companies also offers lower-quality versions of the formats.
Soundbar bundles with other speakers
Many buying a soundbar prefer to bundle it with other speakers to achieve surround sound. You can purchase soundbars with a full surround sound setup or find bundles with just a soundbar and a subwoofer.
What to look for in a quality Sony soundbar
Connectivity
When buying any soundbar, it’s crucial to make sure the one you choose has the connections you need for your TV or other audio hardware. Different connections on soundbars can vary, with some more common than others.
- HDMI: Many soundbars include HDMI ports with audio capabilities. Soundbars are commonly used with TVs, making HDMI ports the most common connection type.
- RCA component: If you’re using an older TV or device, you may require a soundbar with RCA component cables or analog video cables. These aren’t as common as HDMI outputs, though they’re not impossible to find.
- USB: Some soundbars may include USB ports for playing audio from flash drives, computers or other USB sources.
- Optical digital: Optical digital ports let users connect devices like TVs, Blu-ray players and more and are relatively common on soundbars.
- Bluetooth: The most common type of wireless connection included on soundbars is Bluetooth. Some soundbars feature Bluetooth connectivity, but not all of them — so it’s vital to double-check the product listing before you buy if you hope to listen to audio via Bluetooth.
- Wi-Fi: Some soundbars include Wi-Fi connectivity, making them easy to connect to with a wide range of wireless internet-compatible devices.
If you’ll use your soundbar with a specific device, you’ll need to ensure the soundbar supports the device’s connections.
Size
The size of your media stand may limit which soundbars you can use. Soundbars can vary in size, so it’s essential to measure the width of the surface you plan to put them on.
Modes and other features
Many soundbars include sound modes for optimizing audio quality based on the media you’re using. For example, many have sound modes like voice, game or movie modes, which will equalize audio to bring out the best in the given media. You can also find other audio features on soundbars, often including equalization, automatic room tuning and low-latency settings.
How much you can expect to spend on a Sony soundbar
Cheap Sony soundbars may cost as little as $100. You can expect to spend $130-$1,500 on mid-tier or high-end soundbars.
Sony soundbar FAQ
Are Sony soundbars compatible with Samsung TVs?
A. Sony’s soundbars are compatible with most Samsung TVs. Some buyers have reported issues using the Sony app with their Samsung TVs, though that doesn’t necessarily prevent them from using the two brands together.
Do Sony soundbars offer true surround sound without other speakers?
A. The only way to achieve true surround sound is through a 5.1- or 7.1-channel speaker setup. These speaker setups use several speakers to achieve surround sound, including a soundbar, subwoofer and other mid- and high-frequency speakers.

Equilibrium/Sustainability — Biden presses ahead, bans energy imports
Today is Tuesday. Welcome to Equilibrium, a newsletter that tracks the growing global battle over the future of sustainability. Subscribe here: thehill.com/newsletter-signup.
President Biden announced on Tuesday that the U.S. will sanction Russian oil, gas and coal imports, as part of the administration’s response to the invasion of Ukraine.
“The United States is targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy,” Biden said, describing the sanctions as “another blow to Putin’s war machine.”
While the White House had been hesitant to implement a ban amid escalating gasoline prices, calls to do so from both sides of the aisle have surged in recent days. In his remarks on Tuesday, Biden acknowledged that the sanctions would, in fact, come with a cost to Americans.
“This is a step that we’re taking to inflict further pain on Putin, but there will be costs as well here in the United States,” he said.
Today we’ll explore the new types of resource sanctions under consideration in Congress. Then we’ll visit an ancient city whose people lived equitably and sustainably for more than a millennium on very hard land.
For Equilibrium, we are Saul Elbein and Sharon Udasin. Please send tips or comments to Saul at selbein@thehill.com or Sharon at sudasin@thehill.com. Follow us on Twitter: @saul_elbein and @sharonudasin.
Let’s get to it.
Senators to freeze Russia’s gold reserves
A bipartisan group of senators offered legislation on Tuesday to freeze Russia’s gold reserves, arguing this would make it more difficult for Moscow to avoid the pain from international sanctions imposed over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
First words: “The free world’s sanctions are devastating Russia’s economy — and as long as Putin continues his unprovoked and horrific invasion of Ukraine, we must keep up the pressure,” Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said in a statement announcing the legislation.
“Russia’s massive gold supply is one of the few remaining assets that Putin can use to keep his country’s economy from falling even further,” he added.
What would the legislation entail? The bill, called “Stop Russian Government and Oligarchs from Limiting Democracy,” would apply secondary sanctions to American entities that intentionally transacted with or transported gold from Russia’s central bank holdings.
Americans would also be subject to sanctions if they sold gold physically or electronically in Russia, according to the proposal, sponsored by King and fellow Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H).
The bill would also provide guidance to Americans as to how they could avoid such sanctions, the senators explained.
How much gold does Russia have? Today, Russia holds $130 billion in gold reserves in the country, which currently enables it to exploit a loophole in the existing sanctions targeting its central bank — allowing government officials and oligarchs to launder money through gold, according to the senators.
Due to this loophole, the Russian Federation is now buying gold to offset the devaluation of the ruble, and then selling that gold on international markets in exchange for high-value currency, the senators said.
FOILING RUSSIA’S ABILITY TO ‘SOFTEN’ SANCTIONS
By implementing secondary sanctions, the group of senators said that they would aim to deter the purchase of Russian gold and thereby foil Russia’s ability “to soften the financial impact of sanctions.”
“By sanctioning these reserves, we can further isolate Russia from the world’s economy and increase the difficulty of Putin’s increasingly-costly military campaign,” King said. “We urge the speedy passage of these bipartisan sanctions to hold Putin accountable for his crimes.”
“A page out of Venezuela’s book”: Cornyn described Russia as having “taken a page out of Venezuela’s book” by manipulating this legal ambiguity and laundering money through gold.
“This legislation would apply secondary sanctions to parties who help Russia finance their war by buying or selling this blood gold,” Cornyn said in a statement.
Russian gold funding invasion: Hagerty urged Congress to “make it harder for Putin to liquidate Russia’s gold,” stressing that these activities serve “to fund its invasion of Ukraine.”
“These bipartisan secondary sanctions on Russia’s gold transactions will build on the Biden Administration’s recent Russia sanctions and further choke off Russia’s economy from capital,” Hagerty said.
Facilitating financial ‘freefall’: As Russia’s economy continues to plunge in financial “freefall,” Hassan called upon legislators “to make sure that Putin can’t circumvent our sanctions.”
Last words: “This bipartisan bill closes a critical loophole that would allow Russia to sell off its gold reserves to prop up the Russia economy,” Hassan said.
“The U.S. and our allies must be steadfast in standing up to Russian aggression and ensure that we block any escape hatch Putin has in getting around the full weight of our sanctions,” she added.

Equality is sustainability secret of ancient city
One of Mexico’s greatest ancient cities dominated the southern highlands of Oaxaca for a thousand years despite limited resources and poor soil — a rare glimpse at a long-lasting, relatively egalitarian society whose sustainability practices trumped those of most cities today.
That city’s ability to thrive — for a staggering 1,300 years — was largely thanks to a cooperative, communal social structure that provided immigrants with economic opportunity and a good life, a new study has found.
First words: Monte Alban — an archeological site that today looms over Oaxaca City, in southwestern Mexico — “was somewhat more equitable and less elite-centric than what had gone on before,” archeologist Gary Feinman of Chicago’s Field Museum said in a statement.
“And with its collective and relatively equitable government, it endured for more than a millennium.”
Behind the lines: If the paper in the Frontiers in Political Science journal is correct, Monte Alban was an outlier among other ancient civilizations of Mexico.
The equitable conditions in Monte Alban would have bucked the trend of the rigid aristocracies that held sway in the Maya city-states to the east and the militaristic republic of the ancient Mexica (commonly known as Aztecs) to the north. They also strayed far from the strict social orders that largely held sway at the time in urban centers across Europe, Africa and Asia.
It also is a remarkable example of sustainability: Monte Alban lasted 1,300 years — five times longer than the current age of the U.S. — collapsing only when civil society fragmented in the 8th century A.D.
“Why were people drawn like a magnet there, when they had to be living at close quarters to neighbors, on not-that-great farmland?” Feinman told Equilibrium.
“People were drawn there probably for the things that encourage families and individuals to move today: security and economic opportunity,” he said. “And part of that was a consequence of how it was organized politically and economically.”
EGALITARIAN SECRETS FROM BENEATH THE RUINS
Traces of this civic life persist beneath the city’s ruins, which differ dramatically from other urban sites.
How so? Monte Alban’s public buildings were large central plazas open to all, rather than palaces restricted to the elite. There are none of the carved depictions of rulers that Feinman described as “billboards for the regime,” such as those in the Olmec cities of the Gulf of Mexico, the Maya cities of the Yucatan, and the Mexica sites around Mexico City — not to mention the ruins of Greece and Rome.
Communal cooperation: The houses of common people also showed a need for “inter-household cooperation,” according to Feinman. Some such shared systems included retaining walls and drains that would have required communal maintenance, and “economic interdependence” between different families which specialized in different goods, he said.
High standards: These collective factors helped ordinary residents of Monte Alban to achieve a noticeably higher standard of living than people in the villages that preceded it, Feinman said.
Before the settlement of Monte Alban, he said, regional elites lived in well-insulated, wind-proofed adobe and cooked on high-quality reduced-fire pottery; the poor cooked on porous “brownware” and lived in thatch huts.
And after Monte Alban was built? Everyone lived in adobe houses with stone floors and cooked on the same reduced fire pottery, Feinman said.
“All of these things point to both a governance structure that was not concentrated in one leader or family, and also a somewhat equitable economic profile,” Feinman said.
The government angle: Feinman and Nicholas’s paper is the latest in a long series of articles examining the social and economic foundations of both democracy and autocracy.
A critical factor on how equitable a society will be, Feinman argued, is where government revenues come from.
“If it’s funded by an easily monopolizable set of resources — like oil in the modern world — then you’re going to get more autocratic forms of governance, which tend to care less about the wellbeing of the citizenry. Like Russia, or Saudi Arabia.”
The opposite is true for egalitarian societies, Feinman said.
Last words: Societies dependent on broad-based taxes on markets, agriculture or craft goods “tend to fund more equitable forms of governance,” according to Feinman.
And he attributed that foundation of democracy to the fact that “the leaders — those people in government — are interdependent with people paying the taxes.”

Aunt of St. Louis child who was shot by brother is charged
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A woman was charged Thursday with a misdemeanor after her 12-year-old nephew was shot and killed by his younger brother, St. Louis prosecutors said.
Aja Johnson, 36, was charged with second-degree endangering the welfare of a child after the boy was shot at a home on Tuesday in north St. Louis.
According to a probable cause statement, three children were unattended while playing in a bedroom where a loaded gun was lying on a bed.
The children had played with the gun during previous visits, according to the statement.
A 10-year-old, thinking it was unloaded, pointed the gun at his brother and fired, police said.
Johnson told police the gun was hers, that she had left it in the bedroom and that "she was to blame for (the victim's) death," according to the affidavit.
Family members of a deceased 12-year-old boy grieve at the scene where police say the child was shot and killed while playing with a gun that he and a 10-year-old found inside a home in St. Louis on Tuesday, March 29, 2022. Police said the boys were with a parent who was getting a haircut in the home when the older boy was shot in the face. (David Carson/St. Louis Post-Dispatch via AP)
Johnson was being held without bail on Thursday at the City Justice Center. It was not immediately clear if she has a lawyer.

Bengaluru, Mar 31: Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra on Thursday said those who do not honour the Karnataka high court’s verdict on hijab should be taught a lesson.
The Minister's comment came as a section of Muslims had called for a statewide bandh against the Karnataka High Court verdict on hijab, which dismissed the petition of Muslim girl students from Udupi Government Girls' Pre University College, who wanted Hijab to be allowed along with the school uniform in classrooms.
The girls who petitioned to the High Court had contended that hijab was their essential religious practice and challenged the Government order which banned any cloth that could disturb peace, harmony and public order. "Those who do not respect the Indian Constitution and say that the court verdict is not applicable to them should be taught a lesson. We are telling them sincerely that you should not function this way in this country. Nobody hates you and we have to live like brothers only," he told reporters here.
On the halal row, the minister said the government has a limited role to play on the issue pertaining to the issue, which is left to the wisdom of people.
Jnanendra said the 'Boycott halal food' campaign is not a law and order situation but something related to faith and sentiments, "which everyone knows." He also wondered why the BJP was blamed by some for the campaign, which is related to faith and sentiments and individual choices.
The Minister also blamed intellectuals for lecturing only the Hindus and not the others. He said, "Secularism flows in our blood."
A day after the Ugadi festival, which will fall on April 1, a section of Hindus who eat non-vegetarian food, organise 'Hosa Tadaku' where they cook meat. The Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and various Hindu outfits have been running a door-to-door campaign asking people not to use halal meat. They have been distributing leaflets as well.

Finance Minister and Inverness MLA Allan MacMaster says with this budget, government is
beginning to deliver on its commitments on Health Care. MacMaster says Health Care was a key plank in the Progressive Conservative campaign in last summer’s election. Government has committed $5.7 billion of its $13.2 billion budget on health, including commitments for recruiting for health care professionals, expanding capacity for operating rooms and more seats in the province’s nursing schools.
Also in the budget is a commitment to skilled trades. In the More Opportunities for Skilled Trades Program, which starting in the 2022 tax year, will return provincial personal income tax paid on the first $50,000 of earnings for eligible people under the age of 30. MacMaster says the aim is to attract more skilled workers to the province, and retain those already here.
MacMaster says there’s also a large commitment to infrastructure totaling almost $1.6 billion in the capital plan. MacMaster says there are a number of provisions in the budget that would have an impact in his own riding.

French intel chief who missed AUKUS deal, Ukraine invasion resigns
Le Monde mentioned the DRM, whose workers has elevated in recent times, had usually discovered itself sidelined by France’s highly effective overseas intelligence service, the General Directorate for External Security, well-known due to TV sequence The Bureau.
Le Monde mentioned French intelligence has limitations in comparison with the UK and US, which have bigger budgets and fewer draconian surveillance restrictions.
“Even if this reliance on Anglo-Saxon intelligence has existed for a long time, particularly in the fight against terrorism and in space, the war in Ukraine has shed light on it in a crude way,” the paper wrote.
