NAPLES, Fla., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Enveric Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ: ENVB) ("Enveric" or the "Company"), a neuroscience-focused biotechnology company developing next-generation, psychedelic-inspired mental health medicines, today reported its financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2021, and provided a business update.
"2021 was a foundational year that set the stage for Enveric to execute on its strategy in the future," said Dr. Joseph Tucker, Enveric's Chief Executive Officer. "With the acquisition of MagicMed in September 2021, we immediately began moving forward with the clinical development strategy of our next-generation treatments and therapies for mental health. We find ourselves strategically positioned with an experienced team of industry professionals, collaborative partners including the University of Calgary, a growing intellectual property portfolio, and a robust Central Nervous System pipeline of promising drug candidates. As we build upon the three core pillars of our success, Drug Development, Drug Discovery, and Intellectual Property, we are focused on creating effective mental health medicines."
Corporate Updates During and Subsequent to the Fourth Quarter 2021:
Clinical Trials
- Announced collaboration with the University of Calgary on a groundbreaking clinical trial for EVM-201 in cancer-related distress. A clinical trial, expected to launch in 2023, of EVM-201, a second-generation psychedelic treatment, for Cancer Related Distress will be led by HBI researcher, Dr. Valerie Taylor, Head of the Department of Psychiatry, in Calgary, Canada.
- Announced positive preclinical data for EV102 radiodermatitis drug candidate. EV102 has demonstrated a significant and meaningful reduction in dermatitis severity, skin redness, and duration in a preclinical rodent model.
- PsyAITM, an artificial intelligence platform, successfully identified viable psychedelic molecules for further drug discovery from Enveric's initial list of 500 psychedelic molecular compounds within its "Psybrary." We believe it is a first of its kind to employ this machine-learning technology against an extensive psychedelic molecule library to evaluate higher-likelihood molecules that treat conditions that include cancer-related distress, PTSD, and other central nervous system (CNS) indications.
IP Portfolio
- Filed and published four patent applications for psychedelic-inspired drug candidates by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The four patent applications are focused on the tryptamine family of novel molecules.
- Filed its 10th Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patent application directed to tryptamine-based derivative molecules, completing the Company's broad series of PCT applications covering this family of compounds.
- Successfully synthesized and filed a provisional patent for EV104, the Company's cannabinoid, and celecoxib conjugate. EV104a and EV104b are the Company's new molecular conjugates for Osteoarthritis ("OA") and other pain indications.
- Filed an additional provisional patent application based on new discoveries by the company. The patent application and claimed drug candidates fall into the Company's EVM201 second-generation, psychedelic-derived drug development program.
Leadership Team
- Appointed Bob Dagher, MD, as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Dagher is a Board-certified neurology and psychiatry physician, bringing over 15 years of clinical experience and extensive therapeutic knowledge in the neuroscience space.
Capital Markets
- Closed a $10 million public offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and to fund other general corporate purposes.
- Included in the new AdvisorShares Psychedelics ETF, trading under the ticker symbol "PSIL" on the NYSE Arca exchange. PSIL is an ETF that focuses on investments in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and life sciences companies that are leading the nascent but advancing psychedelic industry.
Financial Results for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2021:
Comprehensive net loss was $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, including $36.3 million in net non-cash expenses, with basic and diluted loss per share of $2.07, as compared to a comprehensive net loss of $7.0 million with basic and diluted loss per share of $1.19 per share for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $11.5 million consisting of the net loss, adjusted by a net of $36.3 million in non-cash expenses and changes in asset and liability balances of $1.2 million.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17.4 million and working capital of $15.3 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company raised an additional $10 million and expects to use the funds to help advance its new drug discovery platform, robust IP portfolio, and a growing pipeline of promising drug candidates.

Which wheel cleaner is best?
Chrome and polished aluminum wheels are popular car modifications that can be buffed to a mirror finish. But to properly show off your rims, you’ll need to put in a little elbow grease with some good cleaner. Not only will it keep your wheels sparkling, but it will also help protect them from corrosive contaminants on the road.
Chrome and aluminum require specially tailored formulas, which can make choosing the proper cleaner complicated — it’s the difference between restoring your wheels’ luster and destroying their finish. With the right formula, tools and know-how, you can get your wheels back to their factory finish.
Why it’s important to clean your wheels regularly
The roads are covered in corrosive particles and debris that slowly eat away at your wheels, and it’s not just salt, dirt and rocks that can erode your wheels’ finish. The dust produced by your brake pads is one of the biggest offenders when it comes to tarnishing chrome and aluminum.
Over time, these contaminants ruin your wheels’ appearance and resale value while also degrading their structural integrity. Regularly washing, polishing and waxing your wheels every one to two weeks is the only way to keep them shining and protected from environmental damage.
Chrome wheel cleaner
Chrome wheels are made by electroplating multiple layers of metals — usually nickel and copper — with a final layer of chrome. The resulting wheel has a durable composition that stands up to weather and rough road conditions. Cleaner formulated for chrome is designed to restore this final layer and bring out its classic sheen.
Chrome wheel cleaners come in premixed solutions that use a spray bottle or concentrated gel formulas that you mix in water. Like other wheel cleaners, they typically cost $6-$20.
Chrome wheel cleaner pros
- A specially formulated cleaner for chrome won’t risk harming its finish.
- This cleaner foams to lift dust and debris so you don’t end up grinding dirt back into the surface with a cloth or brush — all you have to do is rinse.
- Chrome wheel cleaner performs better than multipurpose wheel cleaners on this specific metal.
Chrome wheel cleaner cons
- Chrome wheel cleaner doesn’t often work in the opposite direction of multi-surface application and can end up damaging polished aluminum wheels.
- Not all chrome wheel cleaners also work on tires.
Best chrome wheel cleaners
Meguiar’s Hot Rims Chrome Wheel Cleaner
Made just for chrome, this cleaner sprays on and foams up to lift dirt and debris so you don’t have to scrub. You can’t use this cleaner on aluminum.
Sold by Amazon
Mothers Pro-Strength Chrome Wheel Cleaner
Mothers is a trusted brand in car detailing, and their streak-free formula for chrome is one of the toughest you can get. Just spray it on, let it foam up and rinse. Use a soft wheel brush to get at any crevices.
Sold by Amazon
Chemical Guys Wicked Strong Diablo Gel Wheel Cleaner
This pH-neutral cleaner is safe to use on chrome and other coated wheels. It comes in a gel bottle, so you mix it with water and spray or brush it onto the wheel. Because it’s so versatile, this is a great option for multi-car families or companies, as one bucket of solution can go a long way.
Sold by Amazon
Polished aluminum wheel cleaner
Polished aluminum wheel cleaners are the least abrasive cleaner formula. Finding the right one for the job depends on whether or not your polished wheels are clear coated.
Most cars on the road today have aluminum alloy wheels. These are made from composite metal that’s fabricated as a single block of metal. They’re then sealed off with a layer of clear coat.
Polished aluminum rims are raw-metal wheels that are buffed by hand or machine. They don’t have that protective layer of clear paint. For these aftermarket wheels, you need a non-caustic formula that fights oxidization on uncoated surfaces.
Like most wheel cleaners, solutions for polished-aluminum usually cost $6-$20.
Polished aluminum wheel cleaner pros
- Aluminum cleaner is the gentlest and can be used on many wheel types.
- It won’t harm clear coated brake calipers and suspension components in the case of over-spray.
- These cleaners are pH-balanced so they won’t cause spotting or tarnishing.
Polished aluminum wheel cleaner cons
- When used on chrome, aluminum cleaner isn’t as thorough as chrome-specific cleaner.
- It can be harder to find the right cleaner for uncoated aluminum rims, as many formulas are advertised for aluminum but are actually referring to clear coated, mass market aluminum wheels.
Best polished aluminum wheel cleaners
Meguiar’s Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner
If you have uncoated aluminum rims, this is the cleaner to get. It’s designed to remove oxidization, grit and grime without damaging the metal. Because it’s so gentle, you’ll need a soft scrubbing tool like a microfiber towel or brush.
Sold by Amazon
Carfidant Ultimate Wheel Cleaner
This multipurpose wheel cleaner works on just about every wheel type you can imagine. Its pH-neutral formula works especially well on polished aluminum, as it doesn’t discolor. You can even use it on the aluminum trim of tool boxes, appliances and more.
Sold by Amazon
Flitz Multipurpose Polish and Cleaner Liquid
Car geeks swear by Flitz. Its non-abrasive, chemical formula is great at restoring your uncoated metal’s shine. This is a two-in-one cleaner that removes oxidization and then polishes. If your wheels are particularly grimy, you might want to pair this with a stronger cleaner that can remove any grit first.
Sold by Amazon
Should you get chrome or polished aluminum wheel cleaner?
Both kinds of cleaners do their jobs well — it all depends on what type of wheels you have. While multipurpose cleaners that tackle a variety of wheel types are convenient, they’re often not as strong as dedicated formulas. You’re also taking a risk, as manufacturers can’t always guarantee their claims.
If you’re cleaning chrome wheels, get a chrome-specific cleaner, and if you’re cleaning uncoated aluminum, get an aluminum cleaner. Meguiar’s makes two great products for each of these metals.

At 9 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, the Blue Strawberry hosts a hip-hop "beat battle" called Fresh Produce. It's a chance to show off your backing-track creations, for a shot at a $500 prize for best beat of the night.
The competition is part of the fun, says its founder, Shaun "DJ Who" Bardle. But there's more to it than that. "It's a networking event disguised as a beat battle," he says, noting that a long list of local rap luminaries show up monthly.
The competition began as a weekly event called The Basement at Atomic Cowboy, and then at one point was known as Beat Meet, before evolving into Fresh Produce.
In early 2020, the event drew its biggest crowd yet to the Ready Room, with producer Skateboard Prodigy emerging victorious. Then COVID-19 hit. Luckily, Fresh Produce was able to segue into live streaming with only a few hiccups.
Now, however, they're back in person. At the show, expect to see a full tech operation: multiple cameras, lots of equipment, and a big screen behind the stage with graphics. A second projector ensures no one misses the competition's play-by-play.
While COVID wiped out many spaces for live music in St. Louis, Fresh Produce is in it for the long haul. One of their missions is to develop talent. If you win Fresh Produce, you might next become a judge. "That's one of the best parts of the whole thing, watching people just keep coming back, not giving up," says one of the event's organizers, Matthew Sawicki.
"This is probably the biggest recurring hip-hop event in St. Louis," adds Tim "Madman" Moore, one of March's competitors. COVID trapped people inside for nearly two years, so everyone seems to be well practiced. At recent events, "there's definitely been a huge step up in quality and creativity," continues Moore. He also runs Beats & Vibes at Handlebar — a sister event where DJs enjoy longer sets, as opposed to Fresh Produce where artists go back and forth with brief cuts.
"Even though producers have been a part of hip-hop from the beginning, usually rappers get all the shine," Moore adds. "Even though [Fresh Produce] highlights producers, it benefits rappers too because it's a place rappers can hear new producers and hit them up."
Winners are picked through a panel of judges, and with the help of an SPL meter, which measures audience enthusiasm through decibel levels. Upsets happen all the time. "It's a whole chess game," Sawicki says. "Your good beats might be in your back pocket, but then you might play them too early and fizzle out toward the end."
For many competitors, this is their first time on stage, and a great opportunity to develop chops. "The show is always free; we don't get paid," says organizer Ben Stein, adding that they're working to build community in a city that likely has more budding producers than rappers. "It's all about passion. Even if you don't win, if you're very good, everybody saw what you did."

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

Gama raises 2 million euros to deploy a solar sail in space
Gama, a French aerospace firm, proclaims it has
raised 2 million euros with the French Public Investment Bank (BPI), the
French Space Agency (CNES) and main worldwide angel buyers to
deploy a photo voltaic sail in area and revolutionize area transportation.
A photo voltaic sail permits a spacecraft to be powered solely by daylight. This new
propulsion expertise allows speeds by no means reached earlier than to discover our
Solar System and past.
This first spherical of funding will finance an indication mission: the
deployment of a 73.3m2 photo voltaic sail from a satellite tv for pc launched by SpaceX at
550km altitude. Other missions will observe.
Gama, from dream to actuality
Sailing effortlessly by area has lengthy been within the desires of many.
Kepler first theorized the chance in a 1608 letter to Galilei, however the
analysis on propelling a spacecraft solely by the motion of the Sun was
solely correctly funded within the Seventies. 50 years later, Louis de Gouyon Matignon
and Thibaud Elziere met in 2020 to show the idea into actuality.
“In 1999, I wrote my school thesis on solar sails in partnership with
French Space Agency (CNES) researchers. Since then, the passion has never
left me and I had only one obsession, to go from theory to practice. In
2020, I contacted a research group in France, the U3P (Union pour la
Promotion de la Propulsion Photonique), who put me in touch with Louis, a
young entrepreneur with the same dream” says Thibaud Elziere, Gama
co-founder.Andrew Nutter, an area fanatic and investor in quite a few expertise
firms, shortly joined because the third co-founder. Today, along with
the three founders, Gama has a group of a dozen engineers working to develop
the sail and the software program to regulate it.
A revolutionary expertise: photonic propulsion
Solar sails depend on photonic propulsion. This type of propulsion makes use of the
strain produced by photons after they hit the floor of a reflective
floor. This pressure is weak, however when utilized to massive surfaces, can induce
non-negligible results.
“In the void of space, with no air friction, a continuous force (even a
small one) applied to a spacecraft induces a constant acceleration and
continuously increases its speed” says Jordan Culeux, technically main
the primary mission.
A photo voltaic sail may theoretically speed up to twenty% of the velocity of sunshine.
Similar to maritime crusing, it’s the place of the sail in relation to
the Sun’s rays that may decide the trajectory of the craft. As with a
standard sail, it’s due to this fact doable to maneuver away from the Sun however
additionally to get nearer by crusing “upwind”.
Exploration and exploitation of deep area
Unlike standard chemical or electrical propulsion programs that have to
carry gas, photonic propulsion attracts power purely from the Sun.
Spacecraft utilizing this type of propulsion are thus much less large and might be
accelerated constantly with a just about infinite supply of power. This
allows missions to achieve extra distant goals at considerably decrease
price. These traits make it doable to envisage new business or
scientific missions to discover and even exploit sources in our Solar
System.
“This is an emerging technology and there are only a handful of successful
solar sail projects. It is attracting the interest of the major space
agencies and we have recently learned that NASA and JAXA (Japanese Space
Agency) are working on similar projects”, says Louis de Gouyon Matignon,
Gama co-founder.
2 million euros to finance the primary mission
Gama has raised 2 million Euros from the French public funding financial institution
(BPI), by the Space Ticket programme in partnership with the French
Space Agency, the CNES (Centre National d’Études Spatiales), and serial
entrepreneurs and area buyers akin to Nicolas Pinto (Apple), Marie
Outtier (Twitter), Possible Ventures, Kima Ventures or Romain Afflelou
(Cosmo Connected). This spherical of financing makes it doable to fund Gama’s
first mission: the deployment of a 73.3m2 photo voltaic sail at an altitude of 550
km. This sail will likely be deployed from a 6U CubeSat satellite tv for pc launched in
October 2022 by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
“Private companies are proving that space innovation can happen fast,
unlocking vast commercial opportunities. We are delighted to have the
support of the BPI, the CNES and some illustrious Business Angels to reach
an important milestone. This mission will be followed by a second launch in

Q&A
Can the photo voltaic sail take off from the Earth’s floor?
No, the photo voltaic sail allows a spacecraft to be moved in area utilizing solely
daylight.
How is the photo voltaic sail despatched to area?
The photo voltaic sail, made with a really skinny materials (2.5 microns), is folded
into the spacecraft, launched into area with a rocket, and deployed as soon as
in orbit.
Can the photo voltaic sail be punctured by micrometeorites or area particles?
Yes. The Gama group has anticipated this by optimising the meeting of the
sail and utilizing ripstops strategically positioned to forestall tears from
propagating.
Once the sail is deployed in area, how will the spacecraft transfer in direction of an
goal
Guidance, navigation and management is managed by Sextant, software program
developed by Gama particularly for photo voltaic sails. The sail’s orientation can
be managed, and mixed with celestial mechanics and the photonic
strain, the sail might be steered to its goal.
Why have not I heard of a photo voltaic sail earlier than?
Because it’s a new expertise made doable by advances in supplies,
alongside the miniaturisation and standardisation within the area trade.
Are different photo voltaic sails being developed?
Yes, NASA will fly a photo voltaic sail to the Moon and has deliberate a mission to
the Sun. JAXA, the Japanese area company, flew a photo voltaic sail to Venus in
2010, and is contemplating a future mission to the Trojan asteroids of
Jupiter. Gama is already engaged on the following photo voltaic missions.
What is the benefit of this expertise over different applied sciences?
Conventional chemical or electrical propulsion programs are advanced, expensive
and restricted in vary. Solar sails don’t want to hold propellant and might
unlock new sorts of missions (excessive speeds, polar station retaining, and so on) at
a lot decrease price.
Is this expertise extra environmentally pleasant?
Yes, in that on Earth it doesn’t have a major affect and in area it
doesn’t carry any propellant or harmful merchandise, nor does is it
deployed within the extra crowded low earth orbit risking collisions. By
lowering mass considerably, it reduces the variety of launches required for
a given mission.
Does this expertise create area particles?
No, as a result of near Earth the sail will act like a parachute and trigger a
sooner atmospheric re-entry. In the Solar System, there isn’t any query of
area particles, and since photo voltaic sails can not run out of gas, it’s all the time
doable to return spacecraft or ship them to non-sensitive areas.
I’ve learn someplace about plans to shoot lasers at sails to hurry them up
and entry one other star system; is that this your plan?
No, our fast plan is to revolutionise entry to the Solar System with
quick, dependable and low-cost photo voltaic sails solely depending on the solar’s
current power. However, we would have the ability to someday use lasers to additional
speed up photo voltaic sails.
How can I observe Gama’s photo voltaic sail journey

WASHINGTON (Project Syndicate)— The solidarity on display at the recent NATO, U.S.-EU, and G-7 summits has revealed a rejuvenated West. While Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to wage war on Ukraine, the Atlantic democracies are responding with impressive—and somewhat unexpected—unity as they arm Ukraine, reinforce NATO’s eastern flank, and sanction the Russian economy.
Instead of turning away migrants, European Union member states are opening their doors to millions of Ukrainian refugees. The U.S. Congress seems to have rediscovered the bipartisan comity that has long been missing in Washington.
“ Prolonged economic insecurity and yawning inequality have depopulated the political center.”
The political theorist Francis Fukuyama even foresees a “new birth of freedom” that will “get us out of our funk about the declining state of global democracy,” adding hopefully that “the spirit of 1989 will live on, thanks to a bunch of brave Ukrainians.”
A cold war is no cure for dysfunction
Not so fast. The political ills plaguing the Atlantic democracies may be out of the headlines, but they have not gone away. While Russia’s invasion is certainly a wake-up call for the West, the prospect of a new cold war will not by itself cure the United States and Europe of illiberalism and political dysfunction.
In fact, the war in Ukraine will likely have economic spillover effects that foster political blowback. Accordingly, both America and Europe need to keep focusing on getting their own houses in order even while ensuring that the tragedy in Ukraine receives the resources and attention it deserves.
In Cold War America, the political discipline engendered by the Soviet threat did help mute partisan conflict over foreign policy. Similarly, the prospect today of a new era of militarized rivalry with Russia is reviving bipartisan centrism on matters of statecraft.
“ Although the neo-isolationist wing of the Republican Party in Congress may be relatively quiet for now, it enjoys strong support among the party base and is likely to reassert itself as Western-led sanctions against Russia hurt U.S. consumers. ”
The left wing of the Democratic Party is no longer clamoring for cuts to the defense budget and a fast and deep pullback from fossil fuels. Both the hawkish and the neo-isolationist wings of the Republican Party have toned down their criticism of President Joe Biden and generally rallied behind his response to the Russian invasion.
Bipartisanship rooted in shared prosperity
But this return to bipartisanship is likely to be short-lived.
The bipartisanship of the Cold War era rested not just on the Soviet threat, but also on the ideological centrism sustained by widely shared prosperity within America. Yet prolonged economic insecurity and yawning inequality have since depopulated the political center, and ideological moderation has given way to bitter polarization.
This erosion of the political center explains the rapid evaporation of the surge in bipartisanship that followed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. And it explains why, just before the war in Ukraine captured the country’s attention, public intellectuals in the U. S were debating the prospects for civil war. According to a poll conducted late last year, 64% of Americans fear that U. S democracy is “in crisis and at risk of failing.”
The highest U.S. inflation rate in 40 years is currently heightening the risk of a return to the illiberal politics of grievance. The rising cost of energy and food is one of the main reasons why Biden’s approval ratings have remained low despite his strong handling of the war in Ukraine.
As the November midterm elections near, scant Republican support for Biden will translate into renewed partisan rivalry. And although the neo-isolationist wing of the Republican Party in Congress may be relatively quiet for now, it enjoys strong support among the party base and is likely to reassert itself as Western-led sanctions against Russia hurt U.S. consumers.
Given the potential for illiberal populism to make a comeback in the U.S., the Biden administration urgently needs to continue advancing its domestic agenda. Investing in infrastructure, education, technology, health care, and other domestic programs offers the best way to alleviate the electorate’s discontent and revive the country’s ailing political center. The budget that Biden proposed this week is a step in the right direction.
Europe’s home front
Europe, too, should keep a close eye on its home front as it focuses on its response to Ukraine war. While Europe’s political center has remained stronger than America’s, and the EU has shown impressive unity in the face of Russian aggression, strains to European cohesion lurk just beneath the surface.
Europe’s magnanimous welcome to Ukrainian refugees may trigger domestic backlashes as costs mount and the prospect of permanent resettlement looms. Weaning the EU off Russian fossil fuels will require considerable investment and could lead to even higher energy prices, potentially hampering Europe’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
And while Poland and Hungary are now front line states that deserve allied support, both are still ruled by illiberal governments that threaten core European values; they should not be let off the hook.
Europeans, like Americans, need to continue working hard on domestic renewal. Economic restructuring and investment, reform of immigration policy and border control, and more pooling of sovereignty on foreign and defense policy can all help consolidate the EU’s solidarity and democratic legitimacy.
Putin’s brutal attack on Ukraine has helped revive the West. But the homegrown threats to liberal democracy that were front and center before the war still require urgent attention, even amid the strenuous effort to defeat Russia’s attempt to subjugate its neighbor.
It would be tragically ironic if the West succeeds in turning Putin’s gamble in Ukraine into a resounding defeat, only to see liberal democracies then succumb to the enemy within.

Russia’s blocking of humanitarian aid to Ukraine and its bombing of medical facilities should be the subjects of an international war crimes investigation, says Canada’s international development minister.
Harjit Sajjan offered that view as a half dozen extra RCMP investigators head to The Hague to assist in the International Criminal Court investigation of alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.
“I have worked enough conflict areas and war zones to understand what international humanitarian law is. This is something that does need to be investigated. Civilians are not supposed to be harmed. That also includes when civilians need medical support, food support,” Sajjan said in an interview.
Sajjan, a former defence minister and Canadian Armed Forces veteran of the war in Afghanistan, was speaking ahead of the International Committee of the Red Cross announcement Thursday that it would be ready to start evacuating citizens from the besieged port city of Mariupol on Friday.
“For logistics and security reasons, we’ll be ready to lead the safe passage operation tomorrow, Friday, provided all the parties agree to the exact terms, including the route, the start time, and the duration,” the ICRC said in a statement on Thursday.
“It’s desperately important that this operation takes place. The lives of tens of thousands of people in Mariupol depend on it.”
Relentless Russian attacks on Mariupol have reduced massive sections of the city to rubble and have blocked efforts to get food, water and medicine to its estimated 430,000 residents, amid reports that some may have been abducted by invading troops.
Canada’s Parliament and others recognize as a genocide the acts perpetrated by Joseph Stalin that killed millions of Ukrainians in the 1930s, a tragic chapter of which Sajjan is mindful.
“The Ukrainians already have seen another Holocaust in their past with the Holodomor where the population was starved to death,” he said.
“This is just another time now, Russians using kind of a different tactic here. So, I hope that everything will be investigated thoroughly in this regard.”
Sajjan said carving out the corridors needed to get humanitarian supplies into Ukraine has been a difficult undertaking. Even when routes have been cleared, convoys have had to deal with booby traps and other hazards, he said.
“Every time you try and co-ordinate something, it’s been used for the Russians to start targeting folks in the corridor itself.”
Sajjan has travelled throughout eastern Europe to liaise with Canadian allies and international agencies, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Food Program. The food program reported recently it had helped feed its one millionth displaced Ukrainian.
An estimated 10 million Ukrainians have been forced out of their homes, while almost four million have sought asylum as refugees in the worst humanitarian disaster in Europe since the Second World War.
In a separate interview, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said the RCMP officers dispatched to assist the prosecutor’s office of the ICC — joining Mounties already deployed there on various investigations — will be seized with documenting the atrocities that are “continuing to occur in real time” in Ukraine.
Mendicino said he expected them to focus on digitally recording the destruction while eventually gathering testimony from the Ukrainians who have fled attacks.
“They are all living witnesses to what’s happened in Ukraine,” said Mendicino.
“Even while we continue to provide military aid and impose economic sanctions and (create) humanitarian corridors to allow those who are fleeing those atrocities to survive, we have to preserve the record.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that Russia should be kicked out of the G20, the group of leading nations charged with steering the world economy, echoing U.S. President Joe Biden’s call last week.
Trudeau said the G20, which also includes China, might include different countries with different approaches and “political structures” but its main function is to “manage and encourage economic growth.”
“Russia, right now, has with its illegal invasion of Ukraine upended economic growth for everyone around the world and can’t possibly be a constructive partner in how we manage in part the crisis created by Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine,” he said.
“The bottom line is it can’t be business as usual to have Vladimir Putin just sitting around the table pretending that everything is OK, because it’s not OK and it’s his fault.”
Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland welcomed a delegation of five Ukrainian MPs for further discussions on what Canada can do to help Ukraine’s democratically elected government survive the Russian invasion.
“We want to be a symbol of victory, for democratic growth, for democratic values,” said Lesia Zaburanna, the delegation chair. She said it was a difficult decision “for us to leave our home, our people … but we have to because it’s our duty.”

The Best Hikes in Sedona, Arizona
A outdoor lover's paradise in Northern Arizona, Sedona is defined by its impressive red rocks—and the fantastic trails that traverse them.
Sedona hikes offer a variety of challenges, including the option to trot through the scenery with ease. First time hikers will feel comfortable on flat footpaths around famed rocks, while avid adventurists can build their own adventures with steep scrambles and long distance trails. But the allure of Sedona is not limited to its otherworldly terrain—this desert destination also offers great ways to unwind after you unlace your hiking boots, with top notch hotels, restaurants, and wellness spas close at hand.
A few words to the wise: Sedona’s immense popularity in recent years (thanks in large part to the surge in domestic tourism), means trailhead parking lots fill up notoriously early. Consider carpooling, taking a ride share, or walking to your hike to save yourself some time.
Note that the hike lengths listed below can vary based on where you officially pick up a trail; many merge and intersect across Red Rock Country. Wherever you go, pack plenty of water, and as in most rustic areas, don’t expect great cell service once you're out hiking—always remember to take a picture of the trail map at the start of a hike to help navigate your return. Below are our favorite Sedona hikes.

19-year-old charged with having over 100 files of child porn, Hollywood police say
A Hollywood teenager downloaded over 100 files of child pornography, police said. He’s now in cuffs.
Daniel Saul Durocher, 19, was charged with five counts of possessing and viewing depictions of child sexual conduct and one count of obscene communication and compiling computer pornography of minors.
In January, a Hollywood police detective was told of a cyber tip that came into the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of a person, later identified as Durocher, storing child pornography on the account of a messenger service, according to an arrest report.
In subpoenas, the detective found 125 images and videos stored on Durocher’s account depicting child pornography, the arrest report said.
In some of the videos, children ranged in age from 4 to 6.
Durocher was arrested on Wednesday during the execution of a search warrant. Detectives found child porn on his cell phone during the search, and he told them he pleasured himself to the images, according to the arrest report.
He is being held at the Broward Sheriff’s Office Main Jail on a $45,000 bond.

MARIGOT: The Collectivité de Saint-Martin, which has been working since 2018 to remove from the lagoon and the shores the wrecks of boats abandoned by their owners after the passage of Hurricane IRMA, is today authorized to proceed with this cleaning, which is long awaited by the institution itself and by the users of these natural areas.
The public contract launched in 2021 by the Collectivité and awarded to the Dutch company Koole Contractors, is now operational. The DEAL has, indeed, published last Tuesday, March 29, the prefectural order bearing the registration of the ICPE (classified installation for the protection of the environment) relating to this public market. The final lock has just jumped and allows the community of Saint-Martin to finally act, after a first rejection of the market in 2019.
The Collectivité and the State also avoid a very important automatic decommitment of European funds allocated to this market, a few hours before the ultimatum from Brussels concerning the European Territorial Cooperation Operational Program (POCTE).
The Collectivity will therefore be able to remove the 140 shipwrecks (BHU) listed in 2018 and store these BHU on the plot A407 (1500m2) provided for this purpose. These wrecks will then be dismantled, cut up and depolluted. A 168m2 decontamination and dismantling area will be installed on the site. The polluting or dangerous waste will be evacuated to the ecosite of Grandes Cayes for a treatment in the European standards. The parts that cannot be cleaned up on the territory will be sent to the European depollution circuits.
Koole Contractors is now in a position to launch the operations and prepare the site. It will take 40 weeks to remove the 140 listed wrecks, so that the coastline of Saint-Martin can be restored to its former glory. The Collectivité de Saint-Martin and its operational teams welcome the outcome of this project, for which elected officials and territorial agents have worked tirelessly over the past few months.

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

But in my view, the best way to avoid the pain of oil price shocks is to lower oil demand by reducing global carbon emissions – rather than mainly relying on releases from the reserve.

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

LOS ANGELES — The Grammys might be missing stars like Drake, The Weeknd and Kanye West as a performer, but the biggest night in music could still shine bright on the Las Vegas Strip.
The ceremony relocated to Las Vegas for the first-time ever with several artists who could have epic nights including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Jon Batiste. The awards shifted from Los Angeles because of the rising COVID-19 cases and omicron variant in January. Sunday's show will air live beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS and the Paramount+ streaming service.
Host Trevor Noah calls Las Vegas a "perfect place to have a celebration" with fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Last year, the Grammys had a music festival vibe with parts of the show held outdoors in an intimate in-person setting with music artists mixed with pre-taped performances.
Noah expects an entertaining show with several performers set to hit the stage including Rodrigo, Eilish, Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Brandi Carlile, Batiste, Silk Sonic, H.E.R., Chris Stapleton, Leslie Odom Jr. and Brothers Osborne. He said the awards will be a celebration of the music industry coming back to life.
"There's an element of this (show) that's like a music camp," Noah said. "I think it's going to bring a different energy, and I'm excited to be a part of it."
It's still unclear whether the Foo Fighters will take the stage following the recent death of its drummer Taylor Hawkins. The rock band – nominated for three Grammys – is scheduled to perform during the ceremony, but they recently canceled all upcoming concert dates.
The Grammys will continue to move forward without West, known as Ye, after news surfaced earlier this month that he wouldn't perform at the show because of his "concerning online behavior." The Weeknd is still boycotting the awards and Drake said he wanted no part in competing for a Grammy, withdrawing his two nominations.
The three popular performers will be missed, but the show will certainly go on.
The multitalented Jon Batiste enters the Grammys as the leading nominee with 11 in a variety of genres including R&B, jazz, American roots music, classical and music video. Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. are tied for the second-most nominations with eight apiece.
The awards will introduce its expanded 10 nominees in three major genres — record, album and song of the year. The growing categories will make the competition stronger but could make choosing a winner a lot tougher.
For album of the year, the Recording Academy expanded the category's eligibility for any featured artists, producers, songwriters and engineers — even if the music creator co-wrote one song on the project. That means there could be a large amount of winners on stage, depending on who wins.
For example, if Bieber's "Justice" wins at the show, more than 50 creators could pack the stage. The same could be said for Ye, Doja Cat and H.E.R., who have a plethora of contributors.
But Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" features songs written by the young star and her brother Finneas, who produced all of her tracks. Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga and Rodrigo are sitting in the same boat.
Harvey Mason jr., the academy's CEO, said the number of creators in a category won't dictate the winner.
Either way, Noah said he doesn't mind.
"It'll be great to see that moment," he said. "You get to be on stage and celebrated for your work. I'm excited for that. I want to see 25 people on stage celebrating and sharing the love and joy for something they've done."
Before the awards, the academy will hold a couple events including a tribute to Joni Mitchell at the MusiCares Person of the Year on Friday night. Chaka Khan, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Porter and Beck are among those expected to perform.
On Saturday, Grammy winner John Legend will be honored during the academy's Black Music Collective. The singer will receive his first-ever Recording Academy Global Impact Award for his personal and professional achievements in the music industry.
Legend will be celebrated with a performance by Summer Walker, D-Nice and MC Lyte as the voice for the evening. Jimmy Jam will be making remarks.

12-year-old dies after being shot at South Carolina middle school, suspect in custody
A 12-year-old has died after being shot at a middle school in Greenville, South Carolina, on Thursday.
Community activist Bruce Wilson said Jamari Cortez Bonaparte Jackson, 12, died at the hospital.
Wilson released the following statement on behalf of the family:
"We are all devastated by today’s tragedy. We love Jamari dearly and we would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time."
Greenville County deputies said a school resource officer at Tanglewood Middle School requested backup just before 12:30 p.m.
More than 200 law enforcement officers arrived at the school.
A suspect, who is also 12 years old, was taken into custody near the school, Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis said.
He is is being charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, possession of a firearm on school property and unlawful possession of a weapon by a person under the age of 18, Lewis said.
Because of his age, the suspect's name was not released.
"Unfortunately, these are two young men who attended school here," Lewis said. "We don't really know the specifics of why it occurred and why so many people resort to violence, especially with firearms."
Greenville County School Superintendent Burke Royster also spoke outside the school after the shooting.
"I’m not sure after a full and thorough law enforcement investigation anyone will really know what was going through the mind of that young person who took this rash act," Royster said.
Students from the school were taken to Brookwood Church by bus to be reunited with their families.
One mother told sister station WYFF that she was in the school parking lot when she saw police begin arriving.
"I was getting out and the police told me, ‘Get back, get back. You can’t come in,’ and I was like, ‘What’s wrong? What’s wrong?’" Angela said. "They wouldn’t tell me, he said, 'Get back in your car.’ When I was getting in my car, all the police came. Every police in Greenville County was there and ambulance. They were running in with guns, not handguns, rifles."
Angela’s daughter, Prentasia, said they were changing classes when the shooting happened.
"We heard a gunshot, and this boy had a gun and he shot at one boy in his side," Prentasia said. "We all pretty much went into a classroom and some people went outside. We were just in the classroom ‘til it was over."
Another mother spoke to WYFF shortly after she arrived at the school to pick up her son.
"But I was speechless," she said. "My stomach is still upset. I just want to see my son and hug him and just make sure he's fine."
That mother said she wishes there were metal detectors in school.
"So, I would love for Greenville County to do something and put metal detectors. They all come through the same door. They go to the cafeteria they do that. Why don't they put a metal detector and then at least detect there's something there," the mother said.
Greenville County School District spokesman Tim Waller said Tanglewood Middle will have an optional day on Friday. Teachers, students and staff can come and talk to each other and counselors but are not required to attend school on Friday.

Free coronavirus testing ends for millions of people in England
Free coronavirus testing has ended for millions of people in England, with the Health Secretary insisting people must “learn to live with Covid”.
Sajid Javid said it was right to “focus resources” on those people who still most needed testing, including some hospital patients and those at a high risk of severe Covid.
Most people will now need to shop on the high street for paid-for tests if they want them.
Mr Javid said: “We are one of the most open and free countries in the world now, and that’s because of decisions that we’ve taken as a country… and it is right also as we learn to live with Covid that we withdraw free testing – universally… if it’s not needed any more, but we focus those resources on the people that need it most. And that’s what we’re doing.”
Carers UK and the Alzheimer’s Society are among those who have criticised the move, with the latter saying it “risks gambling” with the lives of people living with dementia in care homes.
The Alzheimer’s Society has been campaigning to keep lateral flow tests free for all people visiting loved ones in care settings.
James White, head of public affairs and campaigns at the charity, said: “With the end of Covid rules, people may well assume infections are dwindling.
“But the reality is that cases have been soaring which means scrapping all isolation rules and ending free tests is a dangerous gamble.
“It poses an unnecessary risk for people living with dementia being exposed to infected people not isolating in the community, but also from untested people visiting care homes whilst infected.
“It’s a relief to see a small number of those giving close personal care receive free tests for care home visits, but this doesn’t go nearly far enough to allow everyone to visit safely and provide families with the reassurance needed.”
He said the Alzheimer’s Society’s helpline has heard from families concerned about paying for tests to visit loved ones when the cost of living is rising.
Helen Walker, chief executive of Carers UK, said: “Having borne the brunt of the pandemic and gone to extraordinary lengths to protect their relatives, unpaid carers are now being asked to pay in order to protect those they care for who are at risk of Covid.”
While free testing ends in England, it will continue during April in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and until the summer in Wales.
Ministers in England argue that even though infection levels have been rising, vaccines and antivirals are working to protect the vast majority of people.
The most recent data shows there were 15,632 people in hospital in England with Covid-19 as of Wednesday, up 18% week on week and the highest since January 19.
Asked on Thursday if it was the right time to end free Covid testing, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) chief executive Dr Dame Jenny Harries said the UK must be prepared for the pandemic to “remain unpredictable”.
She said: “The pandemic takes its own course and it will remain unpredictable to a large extent for the next say 18 months to two years, I think is general consensus, and we will have to be continuously alert to monitor those rates and to respond appropriately to any new variants.
“But as with other respiratory viruses such as flu… at some point we have to come to terms with that.”
People should continue to take precautions, she said, adding that she will continue to wear a mask in shops and on public transport.
The Government has set out the groups who are still eligible for free testing when they have symptoms of the virus.
These include some hospital patients, some people at high risk of severe Covid, and some who live or work in “high-risk settings” including some NHS and social care units or prisons.
Those who are positive, or have symptoms, are being urged to stay at home.
It comes as a YouGov poll found 45% of people think the Covid-19 situation in the UK is getting worse, up from 11% in February, and 42% say they are still wearing a face mask – the lowest level since July 2020 and down from 53% in February.
A quarter (26%) last took a lateral flow test more than a month ago, while one in eight (13%) has never taken one.

One of the coolest underappreciated buildings in town is the headquarters of the Ethical Society of St. Louis (9001 Clayton Road, Ladue, 314-991-0955), a group that brings St. Louisans together to work for positive social change.
When it comes to architecture and progressive ideas, this community has always had great taste. From 1912 to 1964, the congregation's meeting house was the Sheldon Memorial in Grand Center, which is now the Sheldon Concert Hall. The current meeting house on Clayton Road opened in 1964.
Designed by famed modernist architect Harris Armstrong, the statement-making building boasts clean lines combined with Japanese-inspired design elements. With its sharp, copper-covered spire, the Ladue landmark is easily recognized from the street, but it's the inside of the building that will take your breath away.
Guests are greeted by candy-colored stained glass windows lining the large foyer that illuminate the room with a colorful spray of rainbow sunbeams. In addition to delivering unexpected joy, the design of the space feels imbued with a deeper meaning.
"For me, the foyer with all these pieces of different-colored glass sending their light through kind of reminds me that the community is diverse and that the human community is made up of all sorts of different people. And they're all beautiful in their own way," says James Croft, the Ethical Society's leader.
Its auditorium, under that distinctive spire, also inspires awe.
"When you enter our auditorium, it draws your eyes upwards," Croft says. "And that's exactly why it's designed that way. The whole building is designed to reflect our aspiration that the community will come together to lift up the highest aspects of humanity. And so that part of the building is a perfect reflection of that."
The auditorium hosts the humanist congregation each week, but the gorgeous site also serves as an in-demand event center. The beautiful wood-paneled room has great acoustics and is the location of the first baroque tracker organ built in the St. Louis area.
The room is a popular spot for weddings and ceremonies not just because it's gorgeous, but also because the Ethical Society performs all types of marriage ceremonies in the space — including same-sex ceremonies. Queer couples are often turned away by churches, but here they can still have a beautiful ceremony with all the grandeur of a church service.
The public events held in the space represent the values of the society, and include presentations from people Croft says "either explore the human condition in rich and wonderful ways, or people who are engaged in political or cultural criticism from a broadly progressive position." Recently, for example, the society co-sponsored a Left Bank Books event in which author Sarah Kendzior discussed the (quite timely) topic of the rise of global authoritarianism.
The building also houses meeting rooms, office space, a play-based nursery school and an art display that features a different local artist each month.
If you'd like to witness this stunning piece of architecture, the best time to see it is Sunday morning, when all of the facility is lit up and ready to dazzle guests. Sunday is also when the congregation gathers for "Platform" (their version of mass) at 10 a.m., and Croft says that visitors who don't know much about the Ethical Society of St. Louis are welcome to check out the space after they observe the service.

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

Trade deficit hits new record
The U.S. trade deficit for goods and services hit a new record in January, swelling to $89.7 billion, according to data released by the Census Bureau on Tuesday.
January’s trade deficit for goods and services saw a $7.7 billion increase from December, which recorded an $82 billion deficit, according to revised numbers. The change marked a 9.4 percent increase.
Exports decreased by $3.9 billion in January from the month prior, shrinking to $224.4 billion — a 1.7 percent decrease. Imports, however, increased by $3.8 billion over the previous month, growing to $314.1 billion — a 1.2 percent increase.
Foreign-made vehicles, industrial equipment, food and capital goods, including telecommunications supplies, in part made up the increase in exports to the U.S. in January, according to The Wall Street Journal.
On the exports side, the U.S. reportedly observed fewer orders of COVID-19 vaccines leaving the country.
A growth in demand for foreign-made imports helped drive the increased January deficit, according to the Journal. The heightened demand for foreign-made imports came as businesses replenished their inventory.
Demand for exports from the U.S., however, decreased. January was marked by businesses struggling amid a spike in COVID-19 cases that led to absences, according to the Journal. Additionally, energy prices increased, which impacted distribution, and the supply chain is still experiencing difficulties.

VIENNA, Austria (Project Syndicate)—A grim old Soviet joke probably rings far too true to Ukrainians today. A Frenchman says, “I take the bus to work, but when I travel around Europe, I use my Peugeot.” A Russian replies, “We, too, have a wonderful system of public transportation, but when we go to Europe, we use a tank.”
That joke emerged in 1956, when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev ordered tanks into Budapest to crush the anti-Soviet Hungarian Revolution, and reappeared in 1968, when Leonid Brezhnev sent tanks to Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring. But in 1989, when Mikhail Gorbachev chose not to send tanks or troops to Germany to preserve the Berlin Wall, the quip seemed set to become a thing of the past.
If Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown us anything, however, it is that we cannot believe the present, and all that matters for Russia’s future is its past.
Pan-Slavic vision
For Putin, the past that matters most is the one the dissident author and Nobel laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn exalted: the time when the Slavic peoples were united within the Orthodox Christian kingdom of Kievan Rus’. Kyiv formed its heart, making Ukraine central to Putin’s pan-Slavic vision.
But, for Putin, the Ukraine war is about preserving Russia, not just expanding it. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently made clear, Russia’s leaders believe that their country is locked in a “life-and-death battle to exist on the world’s geopolitical map.” That worldview reflects Putin’s longstanding obsession with works of other Russian emigrant philosophers, such as Ivan Ilyin and Nikolai Berdyaev, who described a struggle for the Eurasian (Russian) soul against the Atlanticists (the West) who would destroy it.
Yet Putin and his neo-Eurasianists seem to believe that the key to victory is to create the kind of regime those anti-Bolshevik philosophers most detested: one run by the security forces. A police state would fulfill the vision of another of Putin’s heroes: the KGB chief turned Soviet General Secretary Yuri Andropov.
In both 1956 and 1968, Andropov was the main advocate for sending in the tanks. He believed that crushing opposition to Soviet rule was essential to forestall the USSR’s destruction at the hands of NATO and the CIA. It is much the same logic that is being applied in Ukraine today—if one can call it logic. Today, the battle to “save Russia” seems to be little more than the product of one man’s fervid imagination.
Putin’s war—and only his
There is good reason to believe that not even the highest-ranking Russian officials have had much of a say in the Ukraine war. Lavrov has put forward conflicting explanations and objectives. The head of Russia’s central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, attempted to resign shortly after the invasion, but Putin refused to allow it.
As for Russia’s Federal Security Service, it seems that the FSB’s Department for Operational Information was responsible for feeding Putin the Ukrainian narrative he wanted to hear: Russia’s Slavic brothers were ready to be liberated from the Nazi collaborators and Western puppets leading their government. It probably never crossed their minds that Putin would order an invasion of Ukraine—a move clearly running counter to Russia’s interests—based on this information. But he did, and some 1,000 personnel have reportedly lost their jobs over the operation’s failure.
Those job losses extend beyond the FSB to the military, which seems also to have been kept mostly in the dark about whether, when, and why an invasion would occur. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu—the longest-serving member of the government—has largely disappeared from the public eye, prompting speculation that Putin may have planned the war with his fellow former KGB officers, rather than with the military brass.
Four possible endings
However it started, the war will probably end in one of four ways.
Russia could seize control of part or all of Ukraine, but only briefly. The Russian military’s struggle to gain control over Ukrainian cities, and to keep control over the one major city it has seized, strongly suggests that it cannot sustain a long-term occupation. The disastrous Soviet war in Afghanistan, which hastened the USSR’s collapse, comes to mind.
In the second scenario, Ukraine agrees to recognize Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk as Russian territories, enabling the Kremlin’s propaganda machine to churn out stories of “liberated” Ukrainians. But, even as the Putin regime claimed victory, Russia would remain a global pariah, with its economy permanently scarred by sanctions, abandoned by hundreds of global companies, and increasingly devoid of young people.
In the third scenario, an increasingly frustrated Putin deploys tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. As Dmitry Medvedev, a former president who is deputy chairman of Russia’s security council, recently warned, Russia is prepared to strike against an enemy that has used only conventional weapons. Kremlin propaganda would surely present this as a victory, most likely citing America’s 1945 bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as precedent for the use of nuclear weapons to end a war—and proof that any Western criticism was rank hypocrisy.
In the final scenario, President Joe Biden gets his wish: Putin is removed from power. Given that Russia has no tradition of military coups, this is highly unlikely. Even if it did happen, the system Putin built would remain in place, sustained by the cohort of former KGB colleagues and other security goons (“siloviki”) that he has been grooming for two decades.
While foreign adventurism might abate, Russians would remain isolated and oppressed. After all, the FSB may not have believed the war was coming, but has eagerly exploited Putin’s “special military operation” as an opportunity to implement restrictive measures and assert full control over society.
By attacking another European country, Putin crossed a line drawn after World War II—and changed the world. But he also changed Russia, from a functioning autocracy into a Stalinesque dictatorship, a country characterized by violent repression, inscrutable arbitrariness, and a massive brain drain. While the fortunes of Ukraine, Europe, and the rest of the world after the shooting stops remain to be seen, the outcome for Russia is all too obvious: a future as dark as its darkest past.
Nina L. Khrushcheva, professor of international affairs at The New School, is the co-author (with Jeffrey Tayler), most recently, of “In Putin’s Footsteps: Searching for the Soul of an Empire Across Russia’s 11 Time Zones” (St. Martin’s Press, 2019). She is the great-granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev.

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

Mount Polley Mining Corporation (MPMC) is looking to fill hundreds of jobs as it aims for a spring start up.
The gold and copper mine located northeast of Williams Lake and is situated near the community of Likely.
MPMC has been relying on contractors for the pit operations underway already and will be hiring staff to take over as they increase to full production.
No set date has been determined, but Don Parsons, chief operation officer and interim general manager for the mine, said the hope is to have the mine recommissioned by late April.
MPMC is looking to fill approximately 130 roles in pit operations and then will be looking for more people once they begin mill operations for a total of 355 employees to become fully staffed.
Jobs needing to be filled include everything from truck drivers to information technology support, mechanics, millwrights, electricians and supervisors. There were only about 16 MPMC employees at the mine in mid-March, the rest of the workers on the site were contractors and an average of about 110 people are on site each day.
MPMC is expected to have about eight to 10 years of mine life left based on current reserves and Parsons said this could be extended with further exploration.
The mine has been in care and maintenance with minimal staff since May of 2019 which owner Imperial Metals attributed to declining copper prices.
In August of 2014 a dam breach at the mine’s tailing’s facilities spilled an estimated 17 million cubic metres of tailings water and eight million cubic metres of tailings materials into Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake, according to the Province of B.C.’s website.
The mine continues to release tailings water into Quesnel Lake “to manage on-site water inventory and support permitted operations,” according to a community meeting notice and has applied to extend the permit which allows them to do so.
The permit would run out in December of 2022, but the mine has applied to extend this until June 30, 2025.
A community engagement meeting was held in Likely at the Likely Community Hall on March 28 to discuss the permit and proposed amendment as well as provide information on the mine restarting and job opportunities and included representatives from the Ministry of Environment.
Williams Lake First Nation Chief Willie Sellars said WLFN and MPMC are close to signing a cooperation agreement and he is viewing the mine restarting as providing local career opportunities which allow community members to support their families.
He said WLFN is looking forward to what reopening the mine could do for the local economy.

Brian Griese had worked as an ESPN analyst since 2009. He had never coached until the 49ers hired him as their quarterbacks coach earlier this offseason.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan explained why he is giving Trey Lance, 21, a novice coach.
“I thought (Griese) could bring something different to the quarterback position,” Shanahan said, via Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. “I deal with the quarterback a ton. (Passing game coordinator) Bobby Slowik deals with the quarterback a ton. We’re always working with the quarterbacks, so I thought it was neat to bring in somebody who could bring something a little bit different.”
Griese played with the Broncos, Dolphins, Bucs and Bears in an 11-season playing career. He made 83 career starts.
Griese and Detroit’s Mark Brunell are the league’s only current quarterbacks coaches who made more than two starts or threw more than 82 passes in the NFL, per Branch. Only five of the league’s quarterbacks coaches threw a pass in the NFL.
The last 49ers’ quarterbacks coach who played in the NFL was Matt Cavanaugh in 1996.
“I love that Trey has someone (in Griese) who has been through the battle.” Shanahan said. “I can tell him about it, and what I’ve seen with (quarterbacks). But (having) someone who has actually had to go through the ups and downs and the pressures of having a good game and then throwing a pick that loses the next game.
“And how to deal with the media. And how to deal with just the NFL season. I think it’s hard to find a player who has done it at such a high level that’s willing to go through that commitment.”

Ah, the great outdoors. The wind in your face, the dirt in your tent, and the ever-present possibility that you could cross paths with a bear. When you sacrifice so many of life’s creature comforts to bed down amidst a forest of giant sequoias or backpack to a lakefront view, the food you pack begins to matter more than ever. With help from a few experienced outdoor adventurers, we’ve curated a list of the best backpacking food, from full-on meals to snacks and tasty treats, to cure even the most ravenous hiker's hunger.
Best energy bar
Clif Bar blueberry crisp energy bars
When you’re hauling all your gear down a long, dusty trail, the last thing you want is a dry, chalky protein re-up. Clif Bars are a longtime, multigenerational favorite, with just enough protein and complex carbohydrates to keep you going on a long journey. “They’re so damn yummy,” says actor and Donkey Thoughts founder, Nick Offerman, when recalling his favorite flavor, blueberry crisp. “That with a thermos of hot coffee or Portland Breakfast black tea at the pinnacle of a chilly winter hike is living right.”
Runner-up
Papa Steve's No Junk Raw vegan protein bars
Raw and plant-based aren’t the first two words that typically come to mind when searching for a delicious protein bar for an overnighter, but we’re big fans of the pronounceable ingredients, crunchy nuts, and 12 to 13 grams of protein found in every one of Papa Steve’s vegan flavors. Apple cinnamon pecan and dark chocolate cherry cashew were our favorites, though there are also peanut butter and mocha almond flavors.
Best backpacking dinner
Backpacker's Pantry pad thai
One of the most anticipated moments on every backpacking trip is the end of a long day, when the tent’s set up, the mountains are awash in alpenglow, and you break out the cooking gear to feast on the trail food you packed—especially when it's coming from Backpacker’s Pantry. The meals are a staple on many of our adventurers’ lists, in part because they’re “lightweight and easy to prepare,” says adventurer Noami Grevemberg. Backpacker's Pantry meals like pad thai and Kathmandu curry were at the top of travel and adventure journalist Stephanie Vermillion’s list, too. “This is the kind of stuff I eat as a treat back home, so it's pretty motivating to have that to look forward to while I'm in the middle of a tough or long trek,” she says.
Runner-up
Good To-Go herbed mushroom risotto
A company that prides itself on making chef-inspired dehydrated meals crafted with high-quality ingredients, Good To-Go knocked it out of the park with its vegan mushroom risotto. Nutritional yeast adds a creamy flavor while keeping it plant-based; factor in the caramelized onions and deglazed white wine, and the combination is worthy of a romantic backcountry date.
Best hiking snacks
Epic chicken Sriracha nutrition bar
For carnivores who’d rather skip the stringy beef jerky, Epic has created an easy-to-eat savory snack that’s fit for a foodie. Made from paleo-friendly ingredients and grass-fed meats, Epic bars add important salt and protein back into your body during grueling activities like trekking at altitude. “In 2015, while running the Wasatch 100-mile race, I bonked so hard,” says Altra Co-Founder Brian Beckstead. “As I was sitting on the trail exhausted and demoralized, I realized I had an Epic bar that I’d thrown in my pack. By the time it was gone, I was back running!”
Runner-up
Moon Cheese Get Pepper Jacked
The crunch. The spice. The cheesiness. With a high calorie-to-weight ratio and a delectable blend of Monterey Jack cheese and jalapeños, Get Pepper Jacked is a tasty treat for those between-meal cravings.
Best backpacking breakfast
Heather's Choice Morning Glory oatmeal
We’re not opposed to sleeping in, sipping a hot beverage, and boiling a bit of extra hot water to make an indulgent, nutritious breakfast at camp. With a blend of dried fruit and veggies (sweet pineapple, carrots, raisins) and organic oats, Heather’s Choice has seemingly done the impossible: recreate the flavor profile of a morning glory muffin in a steamy bowl of gluten-free goodness.
Runner-up
Mountain House freeze-dried breakfast skillet
Backpacking meals don’t have to be in bar form. For a more savory breakfast on the trail, Mountain House’s Breakfast Skillet can’t be beat. It’s bursting with salt and protein to power-pack your day.
Best instant coffee
Four Sigmatic instant mushroom coffee
Instead of simply blasting your brain with caffeine first thing in the morning, try adding a dose of adaptogens to the mix. That’s the ethos behind Four Sigmatic’s instant coffee pouches, ideal for overnight backpackers because of their ultra-light weight and small size. For added mental prowess, try the Think blend. To boost your immune system, check out Defend, made with chaga and cordyceps.
Runner-up
Alpine Start dairy-free instant latte
“Instant coffee has gotten approximately a million times better in the past 10 years,” says Brendan Leonard, adventurer and author of The Camping Life**, of Alpine Start’s dairy-free, artisan instant lattes. Crafted with 100 percent Colombian Arabica beans and a dash of coconut creamer, it’s a rich way to start your morning.
Best hydrating drink
Nuun Sport electrolyte drink tablets
Optimized to bring you portable, lightweight electrolytes while running or hiking from point A to point B, Nuun is a name that’s become synonymous with on-trail hydration. Vermillion says she loves the brand’s Sport line, and that the strawberry lemonade makes for a flavorful pick-me-up on hot summer hikes.
Runner-up
Amazing Grass fizzy green tablets
Amazing Grass combines farm greens, nutrients from over 30 superfoods, and electrolytes into each quarter-sized tablet, giving avid outdoor travelers a full serving of veggies in every dose. Beckstead says he doesn’t step on a trail without them. “I don’t lose focus or cramp nearly as easily when I use them. They’re super refreshing and hydrating,” he says.
Best camping treats
AlpineAire Foods cinnamon apple crisp
Of course, hiking a Dutch oven into the wilderness to bake the perfect apple crisp would be a little extra, even by our standards. Thankfully, AlpineAire has perfected the art of the fruity, gooey, brown sugary goodness that many of us crave when we’re sleeping in a tent. Topped with a sprinkle of French vanilla granola, the cinnamon apple crisp is our favorite dehydrated dessert.
Runner-up
Stillhouse Spiced Cherry Whiskey
If you’re looking to warm up with a flask-friendly, adults-only beverage in the woods, look no further than Stillhouse’s Spiced Cherry Whiskey. It’s a little sweet, a little spiced, and a great backcountry substitute for old fashioned lovers.

Cambridge family fed up with idling trains
A Cambridge family says they're fed up with trains constantly idling behind their home, and they believe it's the cause of their headaches and dizziness.
Alix Kompare says a freight train idled on the tracks near her home in Cambridge for close to 50 hours last weekend.
"It's like having a car running in your garage and being in there with it," Kompare said. "It takes our breath away."
While that one eventually moved, she says trains are often idling in the same spot.
The family's main concern is fumes.
"Even if I have my window closed it still comes in a little bit," said Joe Kompare, Alix's son. "For the last two days I’ve been like really dizzy feeling like I have vertigo."
The Kompares say trains often idle overnight as well, for hours at a time, making loud noises every 15 minutes or so.
A video taken from Alix Kompare's Cambridge home shows a train idling nearby. (Submitted)
In a statement to CTV News, CN Rail said in part:
"Locomotives are unfortunately not designed to be turned on and off in the same way as a vehicle is. Because locomotive engines use water rather than antifreeze as the coolant, engines cannot be shut down when temperatures may reach 5 degrees Celsius or lower."
"The engines are left idling in order to maintain important safety functions such as engine temperature, air pressure for the brake system, battery power, the electrical system, and to provide heating or cooling for the crew. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes to local residents," CN Rail continued, in part.
Meanwhile Alix Kompare said the family has looked into moving but, "the way costs and rents are right now, it’s very difficult."
The City of Cambridge has its own idling bylaws, but staff say they do not have jurisdiction over federal rail tracks.
When CTV News reached out to Cambridge Member of Parliament, Bryan May, May said said he does deal with railroad complaints and can typically provide assistance, and even possibly talk to the company on behalf of a resident. May and Kompare say they will be connecting to try and resolve the issue.
HOW LONG CAN TRAINS IDLE FOR?
When asked how long a train is allowed to idle for, Transport Canada told CTV News:
“The Locomotive Emissions Regulations state that a locomotives are prohibited from idling for more than 30 minutes unless it is for a stated reason in the regulations, including cold weather operations, to maintain air pressure in the braking system or to maintain heating and cooling in the locomotive cab for occupational health and safety reasons.”
On a section of their Website titled "Living by the railway,” CN Rail states:
“Where possible, many CN locomotives make use of SmartStart technology, which is an Automatic Engine Start Stop system for locomotives.”
CN Rails says half of their fleet has this technology.

‘Game of Thrones’ prequel series to release this August
Mark your calendars as ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel collection ‘House of the Dragon’ is all set to return out on August 21 this yr. HBO, on Wednesday, revealed a brand new poster for the collection and introduced the discharge date. In the poster, a golden dragon is seen on the verge of hatching with a pair of dragon eyes staring behind it.
Set two centuries earlier than the occasions of ‘Game of Thrones’, the ten-episode prequel collection will depict how the House of Targaryen fell right into a bitter and brutal civil conflict generally known as the Dance of the Dragons — presaging the start of the tip of the ruling household of Westeros, Variety reported.
The collection was created by authors George R. R. Martin and Ryan J. Condal, primarily based on Martin’s novel “Fire & Blood”.
Much like the unique collection, ‘House of the Dragon’ boasts a forged, with a smaller core set of characters together with Paddy Considine (as King Viserys I), Emmy D’Arcy (as Princess Rhaenrya, Viserys’ first little one and his inheritor obvious), Matt Smith (as Prince Daemon, Viserys’ youthful brother), Rhys Ifans (as Ser Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King), Olivia Cooke (as Lady Alicent Hightower, Otto’s daughter) and Fabien Frankel (as Ser Criston Cole, a knight with eyes for Rhaenrya).

Accolades flow for fallen Bluffton police officer
Mar. 31—BLUFFTON — Accolades poured in locally and from the highest levels of state government Thursday for Dominic Francis, the Bluffton police officer who died in the line of duty while attempting to halt a speeding vehicle.
Francis, 42, was a nine-year veteran of the Bluffton Police Department, including six as a full-time officer, Bluffton Police Chief Ryan Burkholder said during a press conference held Thursday morning at the Hancock County Sheriff's Office. He had spent a total of 19 years in law enforcement, the chief said.
Burkholder choked back tears as he talked briefly about his fallen officer. He said he had last spoken to Francis at shift change two days ago.
"He was always ready to go out and do the best job he could for the community that he served," Burkholder said.
Francis also worked as a school teacher, bus driver and as a football and softball coach with Cory-Rawson schools.
"He had a heart of gold," the chief said.
"We're all in this profession for a reason, and it's hard when something like this happens," said Sgt. Brice Nihiser, public information officer with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, who conducted the press conference.
Allen County Sheriff Matt Treglia said he had first met Francis and his wife just two weeks ago at a function in Bluffton.
"Today is a sad day for Allen County and law enforcement, believe me," Treglia said. He called Francis a "great officer who dedicated his life to serving his community. He will be strongly missed throughout the law enforcement community."
Francis was recognized in December by Crime Victim Services officials during the agency's Mothers Against Drunk Driving Top Cop Awards ceremony. A graduate of Cory-Rawson High School, he was honored as a MADD Top Cop in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday ordered that flags of the United States and the State of Ohio be flown at half-staff upon all public buildings and grounds throughout Allen and Hancock counties, the Ohio Statehouse, the Vern Riffe Center and the Rhodes State Office Tower in Francis' honor. Flags shall remain lowered until sunset on the day of the police officer's funeral.
Senate President Matt Huffman, R-Lima, said he was "saddened by the loss of this heroic young officer who died in the line of duty trying to stop the suspect of a stolen car from injuring others. My colleagues and I salute the service of Bluffton Officer Dominic Francis and our prayers go to his family and fellow officers."
House Speaker Bob Cupp, R-Lima, also shared his sympathies with the Francis family.
"Words alone can never fully describe the loss of those who protect and serve our communities," Cupp said in a press release. "His selfless service will forever be a part of the Bluffton Police Department, and he will always be remembered for his last full measure of devotion to protect the Bluffton community."
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also issued a statement regarding Francis' death.
"A hero has died and a community is shaken. The bravery of the men and women that wear the badge is astounding. Officer Francis' valor will live on and never be forgotten," Yost said in his statement. "My deepest condolences are with Officer Francis' loved ones and the residents of Bluffton."

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

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy was swinging a gun around and pointing it at several teenagers in a Columbia Heights apartment when he fatally shot a 15-year-old girl, according charges filed Thursday.
The Minneapolis teen was charged in juvenile court with second-degree manslaughter in connection with March 24 shooting of Derryanna Davis of Columbia Heights.
Prosecutors say authorities got a 911 call about gunfire piercing an exterior wall of an apartment. They arrived to find Davis dead, with a gunshot wound to her left side.
Investigators found a gun and determined the shot was fired from inside the apartment. Anoka County Sheriff's deputies also determined there were eight teenagers in the apartment at the time of the shooting, and they fled after the shot was fired.
Several of the teens said the boy was “was playing with the gun, swinging it around and pointing it at the group,” the charges said. But some said he was pointing the gun only at the girl, the Star Tribune reported.

Cole Swindell’s fourth studio album, Stereotype, isn’t even out yet, but it’s already produced a hit: “Never Say Never,” the singer’s duet with Lainey Wilson, is top-five and rising at country radio.
Now, the singer’s sharing another new Stereotype song, and this time, it’s the title track. Romantic and vividly descriptive, “Stereotype” turns the idea of cliche on its head, describing a love interest who’s a classic country girl — but there’s nothing hackneyed or stereotypical about it.
“Just when you think you got her figured out / That’s when you learn you don’t know nothing ‘bout…” Cole sings.
“Saying, ‘Don’t be a girl, boy, let’s take another shot’ / Then slippin’ out, makin’ out in the parking lot / Down home angel with a whole ‘nother side / She’s the oh no, there she goes turning up my stereo type,” he continues in the chorus.
When he teased the song on Twitter, Cole shared a picture of his very own “stereo type”: His girlfriend Courtney Little, who is a former NBA dancer.
Stereotype arrives in full on April 8.

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

You can live in St. Louis for decades and not know many of the city's treasures. Sure, it's easy to get caught up in our history; we still talk about the 1904 World's Fair like a recent event, after all. But that often means ignoring the vibrant subcultures and thriving artists living and working here today.
New entertainments often lurk just beyond your front door. Fresh and exciting events, personalities, restaurants and artists? They're all out there — you just have to look for them.
And for those who are shy about it, we offer this year's City Guide, which is on newsstands now and online (see below). Our theme, St. Louis Undercover, encourages you to cloak yourself in a bold alter ego, step outside your comfort zone and visit spots that you might not otherwise.
For example: Who knew you could find such great food in St. Louis dive bars? Cheryl Baehr details incredible dishes prepared in less-than-glamorous watering holes. Daniel Hill gives the rundown on local artist Jason Spencer, who created those amazing "sci-fi raypunk" murals you've likely seen around town. Ryan Krull keeps pace with BICI, a boozy cycling event that goes well into the night.
Jaime Lees profiles the stunning Ethical Society building on Clayton Road — so much stained glass — while Devin Thomas O'Shea shares details of a beat battle that draws some of the city's best hip-hop producers (and also has a cash prize). Jenna Jones, meanwhile, shouts out four under-the-radar St. Louis boutiques, which you'll likely want to visit yourself.
The pandemic is winding down, right? Hopefully? If you've been hibernating for the last couple of years, this might be a good opportunity to acquaint yourself with some exciting St. Louis culture — undercover.

Calorie control can put even slim diabetics in remission, study finds
Even slim people can get remission from their type 2 diabetes by managing their calorie intake, new research has found.
A trial led by expert Professor Roy Taylor has found that 70% of participants with a low Body Mass Index (BMI) went into type 2 remission thanks to diet-controlled weight loss, despite not being obese or overweight.
Obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, but 10% of sufferers have lower BMIs.
Speaking about the ReTUNE breakthrough study, Professor Taylor of Newcastle University said: “This is very good news for everyone with type 2 diabetes, not only pointing the way forward for effective return to health but also challenging the misconceptions clinging to the condition.”
His previous landmark research gave hope to millions of type 2 diabetics who were overweight by showing it was possible to go into remission through careful weight loss.
It showed that shedding fat from inside the pancreas and liver – the two key organs involved in blood sugar control – was key to remission from type 2 in people living with obesity or overweight.
Researchers have since looked at whether it would work for slimmer diabetics – with a BMI at or just above the healthy range, below 27.
They studied 20 patients and put them on a strict 800 calorie per day diet, consisting of formula meal replacements and non-starchy vegetables for 2-4 weeks, followed by a 4-6 week weight loss maintenance period which involved the gradual reintroduction of normal foods.
This cycle of weight loss and maintenance was repeated up to three times, until participants lost between 10% and 15% of their bodyweight.
After each cycle, the research team measured the amount of fat in the participants’ pancreas and liver and looked to see how remission was produced.
After 12 months, participants’ BMI averaged 22.4 down from 24.8, 70% had gone into remission and half had done so after only one weight loss cycle.
An average weight loss of around 8% of bodyweight was required for remission.
The key was losing harmful fat from the liver and pancreas, the study found.
Chris Askew, chief executive of Diabetes UK, called the research “game-changing”.
David Childs, of Cleadon, Sunderland, took part in the study and is now in remission.
He experienced headaches, his eyesight was failing and he fainted but never suspected diabetes when he was diagnosed with a BMI of 27 at the age of 48.
After successfully taking part in the trial, he said: “My declining health scared me, it is what prompted me to take action and make choices so that I can live a full, healthy life with my family.
“I exercise and eat right, and I am determined that I’ll stay in remission.”

OECD suspends Russia, Belarus from any participation
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Tuesday announced it had suspended Russia and Belarus from any participation in its organization.
The suspension follows a series of condemnations from the market-oriented economic forum aimed at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which prompted a US ban on Russian oil imports.
The OECD is one of the world’s major multilateral economic bodies with a membership of mostly of rich, highly developed countries. The exclusion of Russia and Belarus will mean they’re barred from participating in negotiations on issues including taxation, international business regulation and trade.
Russia and Belarus are not official members of the Paris-based group. Russia’s accession into the OECD was postponed after the country annexed Crimea in 2014 and was terminated last month as a result of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The group also announced a plan “to develop proposals to further strengthen support to the democratically elected government of Ukraine, including to support recovery and reconstruction.”
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.

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

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

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.

Earlier today, the Washington Post reported that the Congressional investigation of the Washington Commanders has begun to consider financial improprieties. Now, some details are being added to this new branch of the probe.
A.J. Perez of FrontOfficeSports.com reports that the House Committee on Oversight & Reform is exploring whether the team used two sets of books.
Perez explains that the committee is exploring several issues including: (1) whether the debt load assumed last year by Snyder is impacting the team’s finances; (2) whether the team used deceptive accounting practices; and (3) whether a disparity exits between compensation paid to men and women.
During Thursday’s #PFTPM, Myles Simmons and I kicked around the question of whether someone may have deliberately made the committee aware of the financial issues, potentially in the hopes of making it much easier for the league to eradicate itself of Snyder — if the league truly has reached its limit of deal with the man who bought the franchise in 1999.
Regardless of how the issue came to light, it’s a potentially serious issue. And it could, depending upon the evidence and the manner in which it’s handled, create possible criminal liability.

First lawsuit filed over Florida law restricting certain LGBTQ topics in the classroom
Two LGBTQ rights advocacy groups, as well as students, parents and a teacher in Florida, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday, challenging the state's new law banning certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom.
It's the first legal challenge seeking to block implementation and enforcement of the law, which Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed on Monday. The controversial law, dubbed "Don't Say Gay" by its opponents, is set to take effect in July.
DeSantis told reporters Thursday that he will defend the law "vigorously."
The lawsuit calls the Florida law an "unlawful attempt to stigmatize, silence and erase LGBTQ people in Florida's public schools."
"It seeks to do so by imposing a sweeping, vague ban covering any instruction on 'sexual orientation and gender identity,' and by constructing a diffuse enforcement scheme designed to maximize the chilling effect of this prohibition," the complaint reads.
According to the new "Parental Rights in Education" law in Florida, "classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
Parents would be able to bring civil suits against a school district for any potential rule violation, under the new law.
During the bill signing Monday, DeSantis said that Florida recognizes that "parents have a fundamental role in the education, health care and well-being of their children."
The plaintiffs in Thursday's lawsuit include Equality Florida, an LGBTQ advocacy organization; Family Equality, a New York-based nonprofit; a 17-year-old sophomore in Palmetto, Florida, who identifies as gay; an 18-year-old senior in Osprey, Florida, who identifies as gay; the parent of a transgender fifth-grader in Florida; three same-sex couples living in Florida with young children; and a middle-school public teacher in Grand Ridge, Florida. The complaint was filed by Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP and the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
The plaintiffs say the new law violates the First and 14th Amendments, and Title IX protections.
"This effort to control young minds through state censorship -- and to demean LGBTQ lives by denying their reality -- is a grave abuse of power. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that LGBTQ people and families are at home in our constitutional order. The State of Florida has no right to declare them outcasts, or to treat their allies as outlaws, by punishing schools where someone dares to affirm their identity and dignity," according to the complaint.
Weighing in on the lawsuit Thursday, DeSantis said he doesn't think that "any of the legal claims have merit."
"These are policy decisions. I don't think it's anything that's invoking First Amendment because schools, states and localities have the ability to set curriculum in public schools. We do that all the time. This is not new," he said, also arguing that the law "does not regulate student speech."
DeSantis' communications director Taryn Fenske told CNN in a statement that "this calculated, politically motivated, virtue-signaling lawsuit is meritless, and we will defend the legality of parents to protect their young children from sexual content in Florida public schools."
Proponents of the new law say it gives parents more oversight over what their children learn and discuss at school and argue that LGBTQ-related topics should be left for families to discuss in private. Opponents say the law will negatively affect an already marginalized community and also argue it would open educators up to an endless barrage of litigation.

Kitchener killer to be released from prison
A man responsible for the deaths of four people is being released from prison.
Kevin Koehler, 57 of Kitchener, has been granted a conditional release after serving two-thirds of his 12-year sentence.
Koehler was convicted of manslaughter in 2015 for the 2013 killing of his roommate, Mary Anne May.
The two were living together in an apartment on Margaret Avenue, but were not romantically involved. Court document show May lived there only out of financial need.
On Sept. 18, 2013, according to a police investigator’s report, May came home to find Koehler and his girlfriend drinking and playing loud music.
She locked herself in her room, and called and texted the landlord repeatedly.
Police believe it was shortly after this that Koehler killed May – then wrapped her body in blankets, loaded her into a child’s bike trailer and attempted to dispose of the remains.
In 1985 Koehler was behind the wheel during a high speed chase near Walkerton that resulted in a fiery crash.
The crash killed two teen girls, Christine Lindsay and Helen Wattam, who were passengers in Koehler’s vehicle. An OPP officer, Const. Donald Campbell was also killed.
Koehler spent nearly three years in prison for his role in the crash.
According to a Parole Board of Canada report, Koehler has 38 criminal convictions on his record, including five counts of assault, six counts of assaulting a peace officer and assault with a weapon.
The report, addressed to Koehler, has other of troubling findings including:
- “The Spousal Assault Risk Assessment (SARA) indicates that you pose a high risk for future violence in the context of spousal violence.”
- “According to your Criminal Profile report, you have slapped, punched, choked and head-butted victims. On one occasion, you used a knife to stab a victim in the hand. You have also threatened to cause harm or death to victims. You have committed offences against intimate partners, peace officers, your daughter (a toddler), and others.”
- “You have not presented a release plan that in anyway, is adequate to the protection of society. You want to return to your home community where you committed the index offence and where you know many people who are involved in substance misuse and criminal behaviour. You have no suitable accommodations and few financial resources.”
The report did not say where Koehler is being released.
His release comes with a number of conditions including:
- Not to consume alcohol
- Not to consume drugs
- Respect a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- Follow treatment plan / program to be arranged by parole supervisor
- Immediately report all sexual and non sexual relationships and friendships with
- females

We may have to wait for a few more months until the tournament kicks off, but Qatar 2022 feels closer than ever. The World Cup qualifiers across the planet are over, with only three playoff games yet to be played to confirm the three remaining berths.
With 29 teams already qualified for FIFA's flagship tournament, the much anticipated group stage draw is just hours away from us and the entire soccer community is looking forward to it.
People have already been making mock draws, hoping to predict how the first stage of the upcoming FIFA World Cup will start. The pots have already been filled, with Germany one of the most notable absences in the first pot. Here, check out why they are in Pot 2.
Why are Germany in Pot 2 of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 draw?
Pot 1 includes the teams that will headline groups from A to H, so it's fair to say that the strongest teams are usually there. Qatar are the only team who will automatically be allocated to position 1 of group A for being the host nation.
But not every powerful team will be in the first pot. Germany, for instance, will be in Pot 2 instead. Why? Well, the reason why they are not in Pot 1 is related to their position in the FIFA's world ranking.
Pot 1 is filled with the host nation Qatar and the seven highest-ranked teams, which in this case are Brazil, Belgium, France, Argentina, England, Spain and Portugal. Germany, on the other hand, are 12th in the latest ranking, revealed on March 31st.
Therefore, they could be drawn against any of the teams in Pot 1, something that all of them would prefer to avoid. The German side's presence in the second pot means that they can possibly set up 'the group of death' on Friday's draw. This is what the top 12 of the latest FIFA world ranking looks like:
- Brazil
- Belgium
- France
- Argentina
- England
- Italy (not participating in Qatar 2022)
- Spain
- Portugal
- Mexico
- Netherlands
- Denmark
- Germany

‘There will always be a scar’: Husband of fallen officer reacts to cop killer’s guilty plea
The man accused of killing a Polk County police officer pleaded guilty Wednesday to spare himself from the death penalty.
Four and a half years ago, Seth Brandon Spangler killed detective Kristen Hearne northwest of metro Atlanta. She was 29.
Hearne’s family told Channel 2′s Chris Jose on Thursday that there is never closure but they do have accountability.
Matt Hearne, Kristen’s husband, spoke to Jose an hour after the judge sentenced Spangler to prison without the possibility of parole.
The father shared with Jose his 8-year-old son’s chilling words.
“He said, ‘I’m going to become a police officer so I can figure out how to get in that jail and kill him.’ And that’s coming from an 8 year-old and that’s hard to hear,” Matt Hearne said.
His son, Isaac, was just 3 when his mother’s life was cut short.
“I told him, I said, ‘Son, you never have to worry about him. He’s never going to hurt anybody else,’” Matt Hearne said.

In September 2017, Spangler shot and killed the detective. Spangler ambushed her and Officer David Goodrich when they stopped to investigate a suspicious car on a county road. Goodrich survived.
“There will always be a scar as far as the hurt,” Matt Hearne said. “As far as complete closure, I don’t think there ever is.”
Matt Hearne told Jose that a life sentence saves his son from a long, painful trial.
“If it was me, myself, I would’ve said, ‘Go ahead and go with a trial. Let’s execute him.’ But it ain’t about me,” he said.
Now remarried, Matt Hearne said his family will continue to heal now that they have justice and accountability.
“If Kristen were sitting here today, she would’ve said the same thing. ‘Get it over with. Get it done. I want him away from Isaac. I don’t want Isaac to have to go through this,’” Matt Hearne said.
Spangler is now headed to a state prison.
The case against a second person accused of killing Kristen Hearne is in progress.

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

Dan + Shay took fans behind the scenes of their elaborate, green screen-filled music video for “Steal My Love” in a recently released clip that details some of the fun stunts, dance moves and more highlights from the shoot.
The video revolves around a bank heist, with band mates Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney rocking orange jumpsuits and getting into all manner of high jinks over the course of the video.
“We’ve got our jumpsuits. It feels right. It feels pretty cool,” jokes Shay at the beginning of the behind-the- scenes clip. “I feel like a bank robber right now. It’s pretty awesome.”
Dan + Shay recently reemerged on social media after a two-month hiatus, saying that they were “rested, refreshed and more excited about music than ever before.” Their “Steal My Love” video is nominated for Duo/Group Video of the Year at the 2022 CMT Awards and, as they shared in Twitter post also featuring the behind-the-scenes clip, they said they were “so stoked” about the nomination.
“We wanted to give you a behind the scenes look at how we created it,” they added, also encouraging fans to vote for them at the CMT Awards.

ANNAPOLIS — The Democrat-controlled Maryland General Assembly approved a quickly redrawn congressional map on Wednesday, five days after a judge struck down the one lawmakers approved in December as unconstitutional for diluting the voice of Republican voters.
The initial plan, which was the first congressional map drawn by Democrats to be struck down this redistricting cycle, now goes to Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. The governor has been a leading critic of the legislature’s redistricting process and has a separate plan he has been advocating.
The House rejected an amendment proposed by Del. Neil Parrott, a Washington County Republican, that would have substituted the map supported by the governor.
The legislature has been scrambling to approve a new map for the state’s eight U.S. House districts after Judge Lynne Battaglia ordered a new one to be drawn by Wednesday. The judge has scheduled a hearing for Friday to consider a new plan.
The new map makes the districts more compact, but Republican lawmakers contend it’s still riddled with unfair partisan gerrymandering that would likely preserve the 7-1 advantage Democrats have over the GOP in the state’s U.S. House delegation in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1.
“This map barely gives lip service to Judge Battaglia’s ruling,” said Del. Kathy Szeliga, a Baltimore County Republican who was one of the lawmakers who filed a lawsuit against the initial map, adding that the redrawn version is “still an extreme gerrymander.”
Del. Eric Luedtke, the House majority leader, said the new map has significantly more compact districts and reduces the number of county crossings in districts.
“This map makes every effort to meet the judge’s requirements in the order,” Luedtke, a Montgomery County Democrat, said.
The map approved in December by a panel of lawmakers added Democrats to the lone Republican-held district, making a more competitive race for Republican Rep. Andy Harris. It also created the potential for Democrats to go 8-0 in Maryland.
The new map removes a portion that stretched Harris’ Eastern Shore district across the Chesapeake Bay into an area with more Democrats and restores GOP strength in the 1st Congressional District.
Some have also noted that the new map makes the congressional district in western Maryland more competitive, which incumbent Rep. David Trone, a Democrat, acknowledged in a statement Wednesday.
So far, courts have intervened to block maps they found to be GOP gerrymanders in North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In her 94-page ruling, Battaglia described the initial map as a “product of extreme partisan gerrymandering.” She found it violated the state constitutional requirement that legislative districts consist of adjoining territory and be compact in form, with due regard for natural boundaries and political subdivisions. It also violated the state constitution’s free elections, free speech and equal protection clauses, she said.
Senate President Bill Ferguson and House Speaker Adrienne Jones have said the new map is contingent on the loss of an appeal of the judge’s ruling. Attorney General Brian Frosh’s office announced shortly after the vote that an appeal to the state’s appellate courts has been filed.
Hogan, a longtime critic of how the state’s political boundaries have been drawn, has been pushing for the adoption of a map by a panel he created by executive order. The governor has said that map was written by an independent panel that took politicians out of the process of drawing districts.
Maryland’s highest court already had delayed the state’s primary in a big election year from June 28 to July 19. Voters will decide all 188 seats in the state legislature, open statewide offices such as governor, attorney general and comptroller, a U.S. Senate seat and all eight congressional seats.

Glasgow and Manchester praised for efforts to reduce homelessness
Two UK metropolitan areas have made significant progress in tackling street homelessness but a move away from a “one-size-fits-all” approach is needed to tackle the problem globally, according to a new report.
As part of the Institute of Global Homelessness (IGH) A Place to Call Home initiative, 13 so-called “Vanguard Cities” around the world committed to individual specific targets on ending or reducing street homeless by December 2020.
New research from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh found that Glasgow achieved its target of driving down city centre rough sleeping by 75%, to fewer than seven people at any one time by that point.
Greater Manchester did not meet its “ambitious” target of completely ending all rough sleeping but researchers said there was an “impressive” 52% reduction against baseline figures, from 241 in November 2018 to 115 that month in 2020.
Sydney in Australia was the only other city to meet its target, reducing all inner-city street homelessness by 25%.
Among the cities taking part, researchers found that the presence of a lead co-ordinating agency, and co-ordinated entry to homelessness services alongside investment in “specialised and evidence-based interventions” were among the keys to progress in tackling homelessness.
Key barriers to progress included heavy reliance on undignified and sometimes unsafe communal shelters and a preoccupation with meeting immediate physiological needs, and sometimes perceived spiritual needs, rather than “structural and system change”.
Professor Suzanne Fitzpatrick, director of the Institute for Social Policy, Housing, Equalities Research (I-Sphere) at Heriot-Watt University, said: “Street homelessness is one of the most extreme and visible manifestations of profound injustice that our society faces today. Yet, it often struggles to achieve sufficient attention at an international level.
“While there are clear country-specific challenges that need to be overcome, this first global initiative on tackling street homelessness has highlighted the need to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach, towards more specialised interventions that target specific subgroups.
“Appropriate services for women, children, older people and other vulnerable groups, as well as culturally sensitive responses to indigenous people and other groups affected by racial and associated forms of prejudice, are essential.
“The overwhelming emphasis on emergency interventions was clear in our findings, with support applied only when people are already in crisis, rather than placing greater focus on preventative models.
“Even predictable pathways into street homelessness from institutions like prisons and hospitals have seldom attracted concerted prevention efforts and this needs to be urgently addressed.”
The other vanguard cities were Brussels in Belgium, Rijeka in Croatia, Chicago and Little Rock in the US, Edmonton in Canada, Montevideo in Uruguay, Santiago in Chile, Adelaide in Australia, Tshwane in South Africa and Bengaluru in India.
Researchers found that the coronavirus pandemic prompted better co-ordination of local efforts to address street homelessness in many cities, but the impact of the crisis was markedly different across the areas.
People at risk of street homelessness were most effectively protected in the UK and Australian cities, the study found.
Susanne Millar, chief officer at Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership, said: “We have made clear that nobody needs to sleep on the streets in Glasgow.
“We are helping the most vulnerable citizens rebuild their lives through our Housing First approach and the experience gained from managing a world-wide global pandemic has been instrumental in shaping new ways of working which focus on complexity and risk rather than homelessness status alone.”

On The Money — Biden warns prices to go up amid Russia ban
Happy Tuesday and welcome to On The Money, your nightly guide to everything affecting your bills, bank account and bottom line. Subscribe here: thehill.com/newsletter-signup.
Today’s Big Deal: President Biden is moving ahead with the Russian oil import ban. We’ll also look at lawmakers’ massive Ukraine spending package and the messaging battle over inflation.
But first, even Ferrari and Lamborghini are avoiding Russia.
For The Hill, we’re Sylvan Lane, Aris Folley and Karl Evers-Hillstrom. Reach us at slane@thehill.com or @SylvanLane, afolley@thehill.com or @ArisFolley and kevers@thehill.com or @KarlMEvers.
Let’s get to it.
Prices to ‘go up further,’ president says
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 White House’s 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.
However: Prices at the pump for U.S. consumers, which have already been on the rise, are expected to “go up further” following the ban on Russian energy imports, Biden warned.
- 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.
The White House had been reluctant to ban Russian energy 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.
As calls from members of both parties to ban the imports grew, lawmakers introduced legislation last week banning U.S. imports of Russian oil and the measures gained bipartisan support.
Here’s more from The Hill’s Amie Parnes, Rachel Frazin and Morgan Chalfant.

HELP ON THE WAY
Congress reaches deal on billions in Ukraine aid
Congressional leaders have reached a deal to provide roughly $14 billion in Ukraine-related aid, which they expect to include in a massive government funding package.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced the deal, which will include humanitarian assistance and military aid in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Where we’ve ended up is at $14 billion,” McConnell said.
An aide confirmed there was a deal but tagged the figure closer to $13.5 billion. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y) told reporters it would be “a little less than” $14 billion.
- The spending is higher than the $6.5 billion initially requested by the administration and the $10 billion in the White House’s formal request to Congress.
- But congressional leaders had signaled they were likely to build on that, in part to give the administration more flexibility in providing additional assistance to Ukraine. The final deal is even higher than the $12 billion floated by Schumer on Monday.
Read more from The Hill’s Jordain Carney.
INFLATION SITUATION
House Dems take aim at corporate greed during inflation hearing
House Democrats on Tuesday blamed corporate greed, market concentration and Wall Street investor pressure for contributing to rising prices during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on inflation.
The committee’s Democrats and Republicans traded blame over the root causes of the worst inflation the U.S. has seen in four decades as the price of gas, food, housing, cars and common household goods has skyrocketed.
“Right now, we’re seeing big corporations take advantage of economic conditions and a lack of real competition to pass higher prices onto consumers simply because they can,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), the committee’s chairwoman.
- Democrats cited earnings calls where corporate executives said customers were more willing to accept price hikes due to the current inflationary environment.
- Republicans cast the Democratic talking points as an attempt to deflect blame and win back voters who are struggling to keep up with inflation.
Karl has more on the hearing here.
GOING FOR GOLD
Senators seek to freeze Russian gold reserves
A bipartisan group of senators offered legislation on Tuesday to freeze Russia’s gold reserves, arguing the move would make it more difficult for Moscow to avoid the pain from international sanctions imposed over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
“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.”

Good to Know
The Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo on Tuesday said they will suspend their business in Russia, joining other leading U.S. brands in boycotting the country amid its invasion of Ukraine.
The soft drink giants made their announcements shortly after McDonald’s and Starbucks said that they would suspend their operations in Russia.
Here’s what else we have our eye on:
- President Biden is set to sign an executive order this week that will direct several federal agencies to investigate and develop policies and regulations on digital currencies.
- Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and other app-based companies unveiled a new trade association that will push back on Democratic efforts to allow gig workers to unionize.
- The Biden administration’s willingness to engage with the likes of Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran to potentially fill voids of foreign oil imports is rattling some lawmakers.
- A coalition of conservative organizations and nonpartisan advocacy groups urged the Biden administration to end the moratorium on federal student loan payments.
That’s it for today. Thanks for reading and check out The Hill’s Finance page for the latest news and coverage. We’ll see you tomorrow.

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

Which action camera body mounts are best?
Action cameras are great devices for capturing exhilarating activities or making the perfect holiday video, but when there’s so much to look at or do, you don’t always want to have one hand occupied holding the camera.
This is where an action camera body mount comes in handy, as it secures the device in place while recording, leaving you free to have fun. If you’re after a Hollywood style of filming, the Stuntman 360 Shoulder Mount is the best choice for you.
What to know before you buy an action camera body mount
Compatibility with your action camera
There are several types of action camera mounts you can use, but the most important factor is compatibility. The protective cases of action cameras are different in size and shape, so it’s important to check if they can be affixed to the mount. Most cameras use the GoPro system of slots and bolts, so it might not be too much of a hassle. Also consider if you want to film using your mobile phone, as there are specific body mounts for that.
Activities you’ll be filming
Action cameras are used to film all sorts of activities, but if you don’t have the correct body mount, you might end up not capturing any footage at all. For example, if you plan on filming underwater, make sure the body mount is in a position to film straight ahead or the seafloor; a wrist mount while swimming is not a good choice.
Action camera kit vs. body mount
Unless it’s a specialized body mount, you might want to consider getting a complete action camera kit instead. Usually, there isn’t much price difference between a body mount and a full kit, making it more value for money. Kits typically include a body, head and wrist mount, attachment accessories and vehicle suction cup.
What to look for in a quality action camera body mount
Strong buckles, clips and straps
The camera is usually secured to the mounting system with nuts and bolts, but the entire mechanism must be securely fastened around your body. Most mounts use buckles and clips, making them perfect for filming action-packed activities like horse riding or motorcycles. Others might use a series of Velcro straps that are easily adjusted but less robust than clips.
Versatility for more positions
A body mount is great for recording what’s going on around you, but sometimes you want to change the camera angle. A basic body mount might not allow you to do that, but a good-quality mount will. By adjusting the strap length, you can change where the mount fits around your body, giving you a different filming perspective.
Durable construction materials
The last thing you want while ripping down the slopes is for your body mount to malfunction due to inferior materials. While strong buckles, clips and straps are important for keeping the mount on your body, the camera needs to stay put as well. A good-quality body mount should have robust and durable materials where the camera is mounted. This is typically made from hard plastic, while others may incorporate metal pieces.
How much you can expect to spend on an action camera body mount
Action camera body mounts are relatively affordable, with chest harnesses retailing for under $10. Body mounts that place the camera at an unconventional location generally cost more, retailing for $20-$50.
Action camera body mount FAQ
Can you put a body mount on an animal?
A. There are some options, yes, but they’re generally for dogs only. Some manufacturers have canine-specific harnesses, which is great if you want to see where your dog goes or their perspective. It isn’t recommended to put a harness on a cat.
Can you charge an action camera while it’s in the mount?
A. In most cases, this won’t be possible. Through the design of the action camera’s external case and the mount, there won’t be an opening to expose the charging port.
What’s the best action camera body mount to buy?
Top action camera body mount
What you need to know: This camera mount is the perfect accessory to give your videos that Hollywood-style, over-the-shoulder action look.
What you’ll love: The mount is incredibly versatile, as it can be used not only for over-the-shoulder filming but several other positions as well. Through the clip and buckle system, you can change the position of the camera mount — it can also go around your waist, your chest or face backward. It’s compatible with almost all action cameras.
What you should consider: It’s a bit more expensive than other body mounts, so it might not be for everyone.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top action camera body mount for the money
Asocea Adjustable Chest Mount Harness
What you need to know: This chest mount is the only accessory you’ll need to keep your action camera steady and pointing forward.
What you’ll love: Through a simple buckle and clip system, this harness places the action camera in the middle of your chest. The waist straps adjust to a maximum of 67 inches, while the shoulder straps adjust to 54 inches. It’s compatible with GoPro and Apeman cameras and comes with a thumbscrew and a J-hook.
What you should consider: There’s no padding on the straps, so it might cause irritation if fastened too tightly.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
Zookki Action Camera Accessories Kit
What you need to know: This camera accessory kit has everything you need to create the best action content possible.
What you’ll love: This camera kit not only includes a durable chest harness, but several other body mounts as well. There’s a mount for your head to film as closely as possible to what you see, a wrist strap mount and a monopod handle. For water activities, the kit includes a floating handle to keep the camera upright. Several J-hooks, adapters and long screws are included so you can easily change the angle of the camera.
What you should consider: Some users have indicated the kit doesn’t come with any instructions on how to assemble the mount or how the adapters work.

RCMP investigators believe a 13-year-old Ladysmith girl missing for two weeks is with someone known to her father. Her father is currently in custody for refusing to say anything about her possible whereabouts.
Payton MacDonald was last seen March 15 on Harbour View Road in Ladysmith. The next day, Ladysmith RCMP received a request from the Ministry of Children and Family Development to conduct a wellness check on the girl.
Police say the ministry possessed a court order directing the girl’s father to disclose her whereabouts, but he would not and was arrested.
At a press conference Thursday (March 31) in Victoria, the RCMP called on the public to contact them with any information about the girl or her whereabouts so they can verify her safety.
Staff-Sgt. Darrell Sandback of the RCMP’s Island investigation section said police don’t have any indication MacDonald is in imminent danger.
“What we do know is that the longer she goes missing, the more our concern grows as far as her well-being,” he said.
READ: Ladysmith girl missing, father arrested for failing to disclose daughter’s location
Officers also said recent posts on social media have claimed MacDonald is safe and is just on spring break. Investigators have determined those claims are not true, police said. They’re also in the process of authenticating a video sent to some media outlets of a girl claiming to be MacDonald.
Investigators had limited information about the case, but police said they’re following any potential leads that could help locate the girl.
MacDonald’s father, who has full parental custody according to police, was released after a March 18 bail hearing, but was arrested again March 23 for continuing to disobey the court order. He remains in police custody.
RCMP deferred questions on the wording of the court order and why a wellness check was requested by the ministry. The ministry said it can’t comment due to confidentiality, but said certain circumstances involve working with police to ensure a child’s safety.
Anyone with information is asked to contact their local police or the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215.

Even though the next FIFA World Cup won't start until November, you can feel that Qatar 2022 is closer than it appears. The qualifiers across the planet are over, with only three playoff games still to be played.
29 teams have already secured a place in the long-awaited tournament and the stage is practically set for the highly anticipated group stage draw, to be held on Friday, April 1 in Doha.
The four pots are filled and ready for the allocations that will set the route for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Fans will notice a huge absence in the draw, as Italy won't be part of it for the second straight time.
Why are Italy not in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 draw?
The reason why Italy are not part of the Qatar 2022 group stage draw is because they have failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. Roberto Mancini's team lost to North Macedonia in the semifinals of the European qualifying playoffs and will have to wait for at least another four years to take part in the prestigious tournament.
Italy finished second of group C with 16 points, two shy of Switzerland, who have automatically qualified for Qatar. This will be the second consecutive World Cup without the Azzurri, who have previously failed to play in Russia 2018.
However, Qatar 2022 won't be lacking in European heavyweights with the likes of England, Spain, and Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in Pot 1, while Germany will surprisingly be in Pot 2 of the draw.

Bodycam footage shows cheerleading coach accused of molesting girls getting emotional during arrest
Winter Garden police released body camera footage Thursday showing the arrest of a cheerleading coach accused of molesting young girls.
>>> STREAM CHANNEL 9 EYEWITNESS NEWS LIVE <<<
Officers said Vigiland D’Haiti, 39, was arrested at his home in Winter Garden on Sunday. He had a warrant out of Lake County.
The body camera footage shows officers cuffing him right away, but D’Haiti starts to melt down and asks if officers can cuff him with his hands in front of him.
Police: Cheerleading coach accused of molesting several children worked at several area gyms
The officers then spent a lot of time explaining to D’Haiti that he was being arrested on a charge of lewd and lascivious molestation.
D’Haiti is facing several charges of lewd and lascivious molestation of victims ages 12 to 15 years old, police said.
He is the owner and operator of Rush All Stars in Clermont, according to investigators.
READ: Central Florida teacher, baseball coach arrested on sex charge involving student
There are at least three victims who have come forward dating back to 2013, until as recently as 2021. Police first got information in January alleging he had inappropriate contact with the children at the gym.
D’Haiti has coached at several other gyms, including at high schools in the Central Florida area. He was with Lake County Schools a couple of times, most recently at East Ridge High School from 2016 to 2019. He’s also been with Orange County Public Schools, Cypress Creek High School and Dr. Phillips High School since 2005.

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