LONDON (AP) — The British government is ending the supply of free rapid coronavirus tests to most of the population even though COVID-19 infections remain at record levels, and health officials warn the pandemic could still have nasty surprises in store.
More than 1.7 billion test kits have been handed out in workplaces, pharmacies and by mail over the past year, the government says, under a policy that encouraged people to test themselves regularly as a way to stamp out new outbreaks.
But starting Friday, most people in England will have to buy lateral flow tests from pharmacies or online suppliers.
Lateral flow tests use throat or nose swabs and give results in minutes, but are less accurate than the PCR swab tests used to officially confirm cases of COVID-19.
Tests will remain free for staff in high-risk settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and prisons, but under the government’s “Living with COVID” plan most other people in England will now have to pay. Some free testing will continue for several weeks in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Lawmaker Daisy Cooper, health spokeswoman for the opposition Liberal Democrats, said scrapping free tests would be another expense for people already coping with surging food and energy prices.
“It is a tax on caring for all those who want to do the right thing and get tested before visiting elderly or vulnerable relatives,” she said.
Critics also argue that the move comes at a dangerous time, with an estimated 1 in 16 people in England infected with the virus, according to the Office for National Statistics. There were 15,632 people in hospital in England with COVID-19 as of Wednesday, the highest number for more than three months.
The number of COVID-19 patients on ventilators remains low, however, and deaths are far below the peaks of previous waves in 2020 and 2021.
Britain has recorded more than 165,000 coronavirus deaths, the highest toll in Europe after Russia. The government lifted all remaining restrictions for England — including mask mandates, mandatory self-isolation for the infectious and testing for international travelers — earlier this year, even as omicron, the most transmissible variant yet, swept in.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government is relying largely on vaccination and new treatments to keep the virus in check. Almost 92% of people age 12 and up in the U.K. have had two doses of a vaccine, and more than two-thirds have had a third, booster shot. Fourth doses are being given to the vulnerable and those aged 75 and over.
Jenny Harries, chief executive of the U.K. Health Security Agency, said the pandemic would “remain unpredictable to a large extent for the next, say, 18 months to two years.”
“We will have to be continuously alert to monitor those rates and to respond appropriately to any new variants,” she said. “But as with other respiratory viruses such as flu… at some point we have to come to terms with that.” | https://www.fox44news.com/news/england-ends-free-virus-tests-under-living-with-covid-plan/ | 2022-04-01T00:45:47Z |

SPENCER, Okla. (KFOR) – An Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office has declined to file child neglect charges against the family of a toddler mauled by their neighbors’ dogs in Spencer.
“I would always say before he’s the world’s strongest little boy, and he’s proven it,” said Jose Rodriguez.
J.J. was reportedly playing in his front yard with his sisters when he walked into the unfenced backyard of a neighbor’s home.
According to the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, the neighbor opened the door and accidentally let the pitbulls out.
J.J.’s parents claimed more than one dog attacked him, leaving his eyes dislocated, a nose bitten off, jaws broken into several different places, and other significant injuries.
“I’m the one that went out there and fought the dogs off of them,” said Jose. “I’m trying to protect him and just the feeling of, you know, lifting my son’s body off the ground and then trying to keep him alive. I have nightmares all the time.”
But another nightmare the family was possibly facing: child neglect charges.
The sheriff’s office was investigating claims that JJ was left unattended.
But now, the family is relieved after learning Oklahoma County DA David Prater declined to file any charges against his mom and dad.
“I just wish I could go out there a little quicker,” said Jose. “I mean, it was literally seconds, but even in those seconds, all that damage that was done, he’s never going to know what normal is.”
J.J. is affectionately known as the “indestructible baby.” His dad told KFOR J.J. is proving he’s more than resilient.
“I taught him how to crawl and walk before I could do it again,” said Cassandra Rodriguez. “That’s just what I’ll do. He’s my strength.”
J.J. recently had his stitches removed from his face, and he can now see out of one of his eyes.
KFOR asked the family and their attorney if they would file a lawsuit against the dog owners and declined to comment.
There has been no decision yet from the DA prater on whether the dog owners will be facing charges. | https://kfor.com/news/local/ok-co-da-no-child-neglect-charges-for-parents-in-spencer-dog-mauling/ | 2022-04-01T00:45:49Z |

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

Since Google’s Privacy Sandbox considered launching the Federated Learning of Cohorts, or FLoC for short, it quickly failed to persuade anyone that it would be an effective replacement for third-party cookies, so the idea was quickly abandoned. Now, it’s working on something called Topics which will serve ads based on local device data instead of pooling you with other users based on other variables.
Google’s aim with the Privacy Sandbox is to improve web privacy for people around the world, while also giving publishers, creators, and other developers the tools they need to build thriving businesses.
The Keyword
Today, the company announced that it will begin trials for something called FLEDGE – or the on-device auctions by the browser, to choose relevant ads from websites the user has previously visited. FLEDGE works hand-in-hand with Topics, and will actively cycle these chosen data sources periodically to keep an accurate picture of the user’s browsing behavior without being too invasive.
These origin trials will begin on Chrome Beta for a limited number of users and can be toggled in the Privacy Sandbox as seen above. It will roll out to more users once Google is “confident the APIs are working as designed”, giving it more wide-scale industry adoption. In the meantime, it will continue to collect feedback and course-correct until it works well for all parties. If you receive this update, you’ll be able to toggle Trials and customize the browser-based ad personalization, ad measurement, and spam & fraud reduction settings.
With Privacy Sandbox trials, sites can deliver the same browsing experience using less of your info. That means more privacy for you and less cross-site tracking. We’ll add new trials as they’re ready to test.
The Keyword
On the browser-based ad personalization screen, you’ll be able to see which interests Google Chrome has decided for you based on the sites you’ve visited, and you’ll have full control to remove them with a single click to make sure everything is as you prefer it. | https://chromeunboxed.com/chrome-beta-privacy-sandbox-origin-trials | 2022-04-01T00:45:51Z |

TikTok blocks users in Russia from posting videos
TikTok announced on Sunday that users in Russia will not be permitted to post content on the popular platform in response to Russia’s new social media-related policies.
“In light of Russia’s new ‘fake news’ law, we have no choice but to suspend livestreaming and new content to our video service while we review the safety implications of this law,” TikTok said in a statement on Twitter.
“Our in-app messaging service will not be affected,” the statement added, noting that the platform is intended to be “an outlet for creativity and entertainment that can provide a source of relief and human connection during a time of war when people are facing immense tragedy and isolation.”
The company’s move came after Russian President Vladimir Putin blocked Facebook and Twitter and made spreading “fake” news reports a crime.
Under that policy, journalists must verify their reports on the invasion of Ukraine with official Russian government sources and the words “war,” “invasion” and “attacks” are prohibited.
Since Moscow invaded Ukraine nearly two weeks ago, several social media sites have taken steps to restrict certain Russian state-controlled media.
Facebook announced that access to Russian state media would be restricted throughout the European Union, and Twitter said it would affix a label to tweets with links to Russian state-affiliated media websites.
YouTube also imposed policies to prohibit Russian media channels from making profiting from ads on the video-sharing platform.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Blink and you’ll miss them! These tiny, but mighty snakes recently made their debut at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden.
Eyelash vipers, Bothriechis schlegelii, are venomous and their ‘eyelash’ scales are thought to aid in camouflage.
The reptiles eat small mammals, birds, lizards, tree frogs, and even bats!
Eyelash vipers are listed as ‘Least Concern’ and have a stable population, but as they live in the forests of Central and South America, their habitats are in danger from deforestation.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli forces raided a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, setting off a gun battle in which two Palestinians were killed and 15 were wounded, as Israel targeted what it said were militant networks after a series of deadly attacks.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian stabbed a 28-year-old Israeli man on a bus in the West Bank before being killed by a bystander, the military said. The Magen David Adom emergency service said the stabbing victim was treated and taken to a hospital.
Videos circulated online showing smoke rising from the center of the Jenin refugee camp as gunfire echoed in the background. Others appeared to show Israeli soldiers and Palestinian gunmen moving through the narrow streets.
The raid came two days after a Palestinian from a village near Jenin shot and killed five people in central Israel, part of a wave of attacks in recent days that have left a total of 11 people dead.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 17-year-old Sanad Abu Atiyeh and 23-year-old Yazid al-Saadi were killed on Thursday. It said 30-year-old Nidal Jaafara was shot and killed near the West Bank town of Bethlehem, apparently referring to the stabbing incident.
The Israeli military said troops came under fire after entering Jenin to arrest three suspects linked to Tuesday’s attack. It said one soldier was wounded and evacuated to a hospital for treatment. The army said it has arrested a total of 31 suspects in recent West Bank raids aimed at preventing more attacks.
The Jenin refugee camp was the scene of one of the deadliest battles of the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising. In April 2002, Israeli forces fought Palestinian militants in the camp for nearly three weeks. Twenty-three Israeli soldiers and at least 52 Palestinians, including civilians, were killed, according to the U.N.
The Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the occupied West Bank and coordinates with Israel on security matters, appears to have had little control over Jenin in recent years. Israeli forces operating in and around the city and refugee camp often come under fire.
The Islamic Jihad militant group announced a “general mobilization” of its fighters after Thursday’s raid.
In Tuesday’s attack, a 27-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank village of Yabad, near Jenin, methodically gunned down victims, killing five. On Sunday night, two Islamic State group sympathizers shot and killed two police officers in the central city of Hadera. Last week, a combined car-ramming and stabbing attack in the southern city of Beersheba — also by an IS-inspired attacker — killed four. The two attacks claimed by IS were carried out by Arab citizens of Israel.
President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Wednesday to express his condolences, saying the U.S. “stands firmly and resolutely with Israel in the face of this terrorist threat and all threats,” according to the White House.
The recent wave of violence has brought the conflict with the Palestinians back to the fore at a time when Israel is focused on building alliances with Arab states against Iran. There have been no serious Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in more than a decade, and Bennett is opposed to Palestinian statehood.
Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian leaders have held a flurry of meetings in recent weeks, and Israel has announced a series of goodwill gestures, in an effort to maintain calm ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins this weekend.
They hope to avoid a repeat of last year, when clashes in Jerusalem set off an 11-day Gaza war. After a Security Cabinet meeting late Wednesday, Israel decided to carry on with plans to ease restrictions on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Israel captured east Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Mideast war, territories the Palestinians want for a future state. Israel annexed east Jerusalem in a move not recognized internationally. In the West Bank, it is steadily building and expanding Jewish settlements, which most of the internationally community views as illegal.
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and the Palestinian militant group Hamas seized power there two years later. Since then, Israel and Hamas have fought four wars and Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade on the territory, which is home to more than 2 million Palestinians.

It’s been a hectic week and we’re a bit behind on the news but we couldn’t overlook the big announcement from Google. The Chrome browser for Desktop has officially hit the version 100 milestone. Launching earlier this week, the triple-digit version of Chrome is trickling down to desktop users on Windows, Linux, and macOS as we speak. While there isn’t a ton of new stuff in this update, it marks a major milestone for the world’s most widely used browser and Google has decided to take a stroll down memory lane to celebrate the launch of Chrome 100.
Before we get all nostalgic, let’s take a quick look at what arrived with the latest release of Chrome for Desktop. As we covered back in February, Google has been working on a refreshed version of the browser’s logo which would be the first update in eight years. The changes are subtle but they do include OS-specific icons that differ between Windows, macOS and ChromeOS.
Web Apps and multiple screens
Chrome 100 includes the Multi-Screen Window Placement API which allows progressive web apps to detect when a user is using multiple displays. This will allow PWAs to display various windows and tools across multiple screens. Here are some use case examples from web.dev.
- Multi-window graphics editors à la Gimp can place various editing tools in accurately positioned windows.
- Virtual trading desks can show market trends in multiple windows any of which can be viewed in fullscreen mode.
- Slideshow apps can show speaker notes on the internal primary screen and the presentation on an external projector.
User-agent sunsetted
User-agents have long been used to tell a browser what type device and OS is being used. While this can be a useful tool for compatibility, it has often been frowned upon as being somewhat intrusive. With Chrome 100, the new User-Agent Client Hints API is being implemented which will provide less-specific information and a more-secure application. The new API shoul also result in less compatibily issues between websites and the browser.
Tab Muting
Chrome pioneered tab muting in the Chrome browser but just as everyone else came aboard, Google scrapped the feature. Clearly, the pushback from users was heard and Chrome will once again give you the ability to mute a tab with a single click. For now, the feature is disabled by defualt. You’ll need to enable it by heading to chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting
and enabling the flag.
Chrome for Android and iPhone
Google cited the reduced cost of mobile data in major markets when they announced that Chrome’s mobile browser would no longer support Lite Mode. Data compression for Lite Mode happened on Google’s servers and as these servers are shutting down, Lite Mode will no longer work even if you see the setting in the Chrome app.
Here’s a quick rundown video of Chrome 100 from Chrome Developers.
Reminisce with us
To celebrate 100 releases of the Chrome Browser, Google has set up a web page that highlights some of the coolest web moments from the past fourteen years. These aren’t just Chrome-related moments either. The story starts with the initial launch of Chrome in 2008 and then weaves its way through memorable web moments such as the expansion of HTTPS to the birth of Progressive Web Apps.
Along the way, you’ll see the luanch of ChromeOS, the Chrome Dino Game, and other cool things that make Chrome and Chrome OS great. There’s even a hat-tip to the online craze Wordle and our original mobile operating system addiction, WebOS. It’s a very cool look through the Internet Halls of Time and it’s really great to see how Chrome play such an intrical part in evolving the web. You can find the #100CoolWebMoments on the Chrome Devlepor Site here. We’re looking forward to the next 100 versions of Chrome and where the web will go next. | https://chromeunboxed.com/chrome-reaches-milestone-with-the-release-of-version-100/ | 2022-04-01T00:45:57Z |
Which Replica perfumes are best?
Scent is our most powerfully evocative sense, and perhaps no perfume brand leans more into the relationship between scent and memory than Maison Margiela’s Replica perfumes. These fragrances attempt to capture experiences and moments from specific places and times, like favorite Replica fragrance By the Fireplace does with notes of woodsmoke, chestnut and vanilla. Here’s how to select the best Replica perfume for your fragrance collection.
What to know before you buy a Replica perfume
Most Replica fragrances are unisex
Maison Margiela is an unconventional fashion house, and its Replica fragrances follow suit by largely ignoring standard gendered fragrance categories. Only a handful of the brand’s fragrances are recommended specifically for male or female users, and even within those categories, users of all genders tend to have success wearing a fragrance that isn’t traditionally marketed for them. Don’t be afraid to sample a fragrance that seems outside the box — Replica may pleasantly surprise you.
Most popular Replica fragrances are eau de toilettes
One important consideration in shopping for a Replica perfume is that the majority of the fragrances available are eau de toilettes, not eau de parfums. Eau de parfum is what we typically think of as “perfume,” and its scent tends to be stronger and longer-lasting, but eau de toilette is frequently more affordable. This is due to eau de toilettes having a lower concentration of pricey fragrance oils (generally 8-12%) than eau de parfums (12-18%). While eau de toilettes tend to be lighter and less complex, some of Replica’s most popular eau de toilettes, like By The Fireplace, are as rich and elaborate as eau de parfums.
Experiment with a gift set
There are a lot of Replica perfumes to choose from, and it’s always possible that the most popular scent in the lineup won’t appeal to you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice or don’t want to risk buying a perfume you’re not in love with, consider trying a gift set. Replica gift sets typically include 10 mini bottles, each with roughly eight wears — enough to get a feel for the perfume. These mini bottles are also great for travel.
What to look for in a quality Replica perfume
Affordable luxury designer quality
Replica eau de toilettes offer complex, unique fragrances at reasonable price points compared to other, more established designer perfume brands. Plus, with three bottle sizes available as well as a sample set, it’s easy to get the right amount of perfume for your budget.
Spray bottles, not rollerballs
Perfume purists often prefer spray applicators to rollerballs, and with good reason. Atomizers help disperse fragrance more evenly on your skin, and rollerballs can pick up debris from contact with your skin and degrade the perfume’s quality over time. All sizes of Replica perfumes come with atomizers.
Thoughtful packaging
In keeping with the brand’s theme of nostalgia and memory, Replica perfume bottles are modeled after apothecary jars. The white labels are fabric, not paper, and they’re printed with the place and year that inspired the fragrance as well as the fragrance notes. The boxes feature Polaroid photographs that depict the place encapsulated by the perfume.
How much you can expect to spend on Replica perfume
Replica eau de toilette fragrances come in two standard sizes. The full-size, 3.4-ounce bottle costs $144, while 1-ounce bottles cost $76. Travel-size, .34-ounce spray bottles are available for $32.
Replica perfume FAQ
How many Replica perfumes are there?
A. Maison Margiela currently makes three Replica eau de parfum fragrances and 18 eau de toilette fragrances. New scents are added almost every year, but a handful have been discontinued over time.
How long do Replica perfumes last?
A. Replica perfumes are popular more for their unique scents than their staying power. For some, this may be a deal-breaker, but keep in mind that a perfume’s longevity depends on many factors. Replica perfumes can last anywhere from two to six hours.
What’s the best Replica perfume to buy?
Top Replica perfume
What you need to know: This unisex fragrance accurately captures the scent memory of relaxing by a fire.
What you’ll love: The unique perfume has notes of woodsmoke, clove and vanilla. It’s a great fragrance for fall and winter.
What you should consider: It may be one of Replica’s more popular fragrances, but it’s also very unique: its top notes are strongly smoky, and the fireplace-like scent may limit when and where it can be worn.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Top Replica perfume for the money
What you need to know: Themed around going out for cocktails at an upscale club, this fragrance starts off with warm spices and rum before drying down into smoky notes of vanilla and tobacco.
What you’ll love: The warm, smoky notes of this fragrance tend to have better projection and linger longer than some Replica perfumes, so it’s a comparatively good value, especially in the smaller size. Though it’s marketed as a male scent, all wearers love it.
What you should consider: It’s a softer fragrance that doesn’t evolve much over time, and it’s best for fans of smoky, masculine scents.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Worth checking out
What you need to know: The notes of coconut and citrus in this freshly sweet fragrance will transport you to a tropical beach.
What you’ll love: While Beach Walk is a distinctly summery fragrance, it’s also fun to wear off-season when you need a sunny pick-me-up. It’s a good choice for someone new to perfume or who wants a light, non-traditional fragrance.
What you should consider: Some users interpret the scent as too similar to sunscreen for their tastes.

FREDERICTON - New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says his province has emerged from the pandemic stronger than ever and is ready to build on its successes.
That was the premier’s message Thursday night as he delivered his annual state of the province address to a business audience in Fredericton and on community television across New Brunswick. Higgs said the province’s economy is recovering faster than expected.
“Last week, the Bank of Montreal recognized our strong population growth and our speedy vaccine rollout that helped us weather the pandemic,” he said. “Scotiabank said we have a concrete plan to cautiously boost spending while maintaining balance. And the Royal Bank said that New Brunswick has plenty of success to build on. We certainly do.”
Higgs said private investment is up and expected to exceed $4 billion this year. The premier highlighted numerous companies that are either setting up or expanding in New Brunswick and creating jobs. Among them, he said, Walmart is spending $56 million on a new facility in Moncton that will create 200 jobs.
The population is also on the rise, recently topping 800,000 residents.
“In the last calendar year, we welcomed more than 8,400 newcomers from other countries,” Higgs said. “Our teams have exceeded all immigration targets, including for skilled trades, francophone newcomers and international student nominations.”
He said in order to build on that momentum, the province will launch a new immigration service to assist employers and newcomers.
The premier said the recent spring budget includes more spending on health care, education and environmental protection. He said changes in health care have resulted in shorter wait times for surgeries, adding that funding has been allocated to hire more nurse practitioners and other professionals.
He also promoted tax changes included in last week’s provincial budget, such as a 50 per cent provincial property tax rate reduction for apartment buildings and other rental properties. And Higgs mentioned his government’s one-year cap on rent increases.
The $11.3-billion budget projected a slim surplus of $35 million for 2022-23.
Higgs said that during the pandemic, many New Brunswickers rediscovered the province. The government’s Explore NB Travel Incentive Program was very successful, generating more than $20 million in spending across the province, he said.
Higgs said a new tourism campaign will be launched next week to get New Brunswickers to encourage friends and family to visit the province.
“We need you to help extend the invitation to those near and far,” the premier said. “We know when people experience everything that we have to offer, they’ll want to stay longer. Maybe even a lifetime.”

People who suffered from even mild cases of COVID-19 face an increased risk of being diagnosed with diabetes within a year of recovering from the illness, a new study reports.
Researchers found that people who had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes within a year after recovering, compared to participants in a control group. The likelihood of developing diabetes grew if the patient suffered from a serious infection that led to hospitalization or a stay in intensive care.
"What's surprising is that it is happening in people with no prior risk factors for diabetes" before becoming infected with COVID-19, said Ziyad Al-Aly, the lead author of the study.
These latest findings add to a growing list of studies showing that people who suffered from COVID-19 are at risk of facing other long-term health problems. Those include heart and kidney ailments and chronic fatigue.
Al-Aly also helped lead the study that showed the prevalence of cardiac issues in people who survived COVID-19 infections.
This newest study, published Monday in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, analyzed data from more than 180,000 patients from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The study's authors compared patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and survived the illness for more than a month with more than 4 million other people who didn't contract COVID in the same period. This data was also compared with another 4.28 million patients who were treated at the VA in 2018 and 2019.
The paper states that around 1% to 2% of people who have been infected with COVID will develop diabetes as a result. That may seem like a small number, but nearly 80 million people in the U.S. have had COVID, Al-Aly told NPR — meaning 800,000 to 1.6 million people developing diabetes who might not have otherwise.
"That translates to a really significant number of people with new onset diabetes in the U.S. and many, many more around the world," Al-Aly said.
Nationwide, approximately 34 million people had diabetes pre-COVID, according to Jorge Moreno, an internal medicine physician at Yale University who didn't work on Al-Aly's study. Doctors expect roughly 1.5 million new people to be newly diagnosed with diabetes each year during normal times, he told NPR.
What to look out for
This study shows that as a nation, more attention needs to be paid to the long-term effects of COVID-19, Al-Aly said. More vigilance can start at the doctor's office.
"We need to start treating COVID as a risk factor for diabetes," Al-Aly said, adding that each person who has come down with the virus needs to be screened.
Moreno told NPR he believes this study will create more awareness among general practitioners and endocrinologists, like himself, to screen patients who have had COVID for diabetes and other complications.
Those who've had COVID should also be closely monitoring their health and changes in their body, Moreno said, and should seek help at the first sign of an issue. Major symptoms for diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination (which is not influenced by how much liquid consumed) and blurry vision. Major weight fluctuations are also a sign.

Pakistan PM hits back at Western push to condemn Russia
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday blasted world governments who have called on Pakistan to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, insinuating they were treating his country like slaves.
Last week, 22 Islamabad-based diplomats released a joint letter calling on the Pakistani government to join the United Nations’ resolution in condemning Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Pakistan had abstained from voting on the resolution.
“What do you think of us? Are we your slaves … that whatever you say, we will do?” Khan said during a political rally, according to Reuters.
“I want to ask the European Union ambassadors: Did you write such a letter to India?” Khan added, noting that Indian had also abstained from the vote.
In their letter, the diplomats, many of whom represent E.U. countries, wrote, “As heads of mission to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, we urge Pakistan to join us in condemning Russia’s actions.”
Just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an attack on Ukraine, Khan visited Moscow for a two-day state visit.
“We are friends with Russia, and we are also friends with America; we are friends with China and with Europe; we are not in any camp,” Khan said.
The Pakistani leader said he planned on remaining neutral in the conflict and work with those who seek to end the war.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Grab-and-go summer meals became more available during the pandemic but families of children who rely on them need to be aware of some changes coming.
Officials say the pandemic winding down will lead to the USDA reinstating requirements for on-site meals.
In spring of 2020, we all found new ways of doing things – with distance.
That includes the summer programs that fill young bellies with nutritional meals from the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
“The USDA, prior to the pandemic, required that summer feeding meals be consumed by children on-site where they were served,” said Cathy Nestlen with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
But in light of the spread of COVID-19, waivers were put in place to allow for social distancing.
“We did a lot of grab-and-go’s, drive-through sort of distributions, it didn’t have to be the child picking up the meals, it could be the parent or the child caretaker,” Nestlen said.
More sites were available for these grab-and-go’s and more children were served.
However, as the pandemic begins to wind down, an end to this way of offering meals is in sight.
The food bank expects the original requirements for on-site meals to be renewed for this summer.
“We’d love for those waivers to be permanent and we’re certainly advocating for that, but at this point, we’re not seeing any sign from the USDA that those waivers will remain in place,” said Nestlen.
So, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma wants families to know their young ones will need to eat where they receive their food – and they’re asking for capable sites to step up to help.
“We’re looking at nonprofits and churches, libraries and parks and rec. departments maybe that are already having summer programming and activities for children,” Nestlen said.
Above all – they hope for access for all children in need.
“They’re growing, they need to thrive and the summer feeding program is so important,” said Nestlen.
Sites must be located near or at a school with at least 50% of children on free or reduced lunches.
If you have a site you believe would work for the summer meal program, visit the Regional Food Bank’s website to apply. | https://kfor.com/news/local/regional-food-bank-of-oklahoma-summer-meals-to-transition-back-onsite-as-usda-pandemic-waivers-end/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:01Z |

Here Is What Boat Owners Have to Say to the Rising Gas Prices
While gas prices continue to rise, the commercial passenger vessel and boat rental industry fear the consequence of charging higher rates to combat the inflation as it will cost thousands of dollars to fill their boat’s gas tank.
SAN DIEGO—Skyrocketing gas prices across Southern California and much of the U.S. has far-reaching impacts, especially for local businesses operating on the water.
From whale watching to boat rental companies, owners say it’s getting more costly to do business.
Experts say Russia’s war on Ukraine and an increase in gas demand coupled with a reduction in total supply are contributing to the prices, which will probably keep rising as crude prices continue to climb.
Andy Kurtz is the owner of Seaforth Boat Rental in San Diego.
“We operate a large fleet of boats in mission bay and San Diego Bay,” said Kurtz in an email from March 22. “We have everything from skiffs to yachts. Sail and power. The price of fuel is a huge concern. Our product is very price sensitive. We cannot just raise prices; people will find other things to do. The governor’s “rebate” doesn’t help to offset our expected $100k plus additional fuel expense. We need relief at the pump. We have dealt with the pandemic, labor shortages, labor rates. We need some help on this one!”
Gas boats are already costly to operate; the rise in gas prices has only induced that burden. On average, a speedboat can hold around 250 gallons of gas in its fuel tank. However, the range can vary from 150 gallons or less for a small motorboat to 1,000 gallons or more for a big speedboat, meaning a full tank is costing thousands of dollars with the current gas prices.
According to AAA, in Los Angeles County, the average gas price for regular-grade fuel is $5.37 per gallon — up from $4.67 a month ago and $3.79 a year ago. The national average is $4 per gallon. At the Hyatt Fuel Dock in Mission Bay, the price for unleaded was even higher, at more than 8 dollars a gallon. Gas prices in the U.S. reached their highest levels on March 6 since 2008.
“Our stuff is price sensitive,” Kurtz said. “I can’t just add $18 per hour to a rental, so it ends up taking it from the bottom line.”
California’s 51 cents a gallon gas excise tax, which pays into transportation costs such as road maintenance and repairs, is the highest of any state in the U.S.
Recently, there have been calls statewide to temporarily suspend the tax, including in a newsletter co-authored this week by San Diego County Supervisors Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond.
“This is not a partisan issue,” said Desmond in the newsletter from FOX 5. “This is hitting everybody left and right, no matter what side of the aisle you’re on.”
Meantime, Kurtz estimated that he’s expecting more than $100,000 of increased costs this year. As much as 40 percent of that may be imposed upon his customers to acclimate to the price increase.
According to Plan M8, average diesel prices range from $3.2-$3.9 per gallon, and the average petrol prices range from $7.2 – $7.8 per gallon.
Current Fuel Prices in Southern California:
Not all fuel docks were able to provide current pricing.
– Dana Landing Fuel Dock in San Diego was $8.29 per gallon for petrol as of March 22.
– Alamitos Bay Marine Fuel Docks I Long Beach was $6.79 per gallon for petrol as of March 22.
– The Jankovich Company in San Pedro cannot publicize current gas prices.
– Island Marine Fuel in Newport Beach is. $5.60 per gallon for diesel as of March 22.
– Channel Islands Harbor Marine Fuel Dock is $6.30 per gallon for petrol as of March 22. | https://www.thelog.com/news-departments/here-is-what-boat-owners-have-to-say-to-the-rising-gas-prices/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:01Z |
Which rustic lampshade is best?
Rustic decor can make any space feel warm and homey, but as you cozy up with a hot beverage around the fire, your lampshades might stick out like a sore thumb. How do you style something so functional to match the homespun aesthetic of your rustic decor?
From earthy colors to organic materials, rustic lampshades are the perfect accent to a cabin-inspired interior. Whether your vision of rustic is understated and minimal or decadent like a hunting lodge, the best rustic lampshade is Brentwood Collection Oatmeal Tall Linen Medium Drum Lampshade.
What to know before you buy a rustic lampshade
What is rustic?
Rustic is an interior design style inspired by frontier and country living. It emphasizes natural, organic and raw materials typically found in homes built with resources immediately available to those living off the land. Think exposed cross beams, unfinished wood or logs, animal hides and raw leathers, wrought or cast iron, heirloom or antique furniture and warm, thick knit fabrics.
What makes a lampshade rustic?
The modern lampshade is a fairly recent invention, coinciding with the discovery of electricity. So, many rustic lampshades use inspiration from premodern living to imagine a utilitarian, repurposed aesthetic. These are made from raw, organic materials and are typically decorated with a mixture of natural and folk motifs.
If you want a camp-like aesthetic, look for lampshades with silhouettes or stenciling of plants or animals. Many seek to imitate the appearance of animal hide, radiating an amber glow.
If understated and contemporary rustic is your thing, natural colors such as beige, sage green, ocher and amber all look good with raw woods.
Types of lampshades
Lampshades come in all shapes and sizes:
- Empire: These are conical lampshades. They’re shaped so that most of the light emits from the wider bottom, making them perfect for table lamps.
- Bell: These lampshades are similar to empire shades in effect but have a concave curve traveling from the narrow top to their flared bottom.
- Round: Round shades can come in a classic drum or oval shape. They diffuse light in an even, ambient manner, suiting them well to floor lamps.
- Square: These modern, geometric shapes are good at even lighting but might clash with the organic forms of rustic decor.
- Dome: Used with overhead lights or table lamps, these are shallow with wide openings to spill out lots of light.
What to look for in a quality rustic lampshade
Material
- Linen: Elegantly textured, this material is popular for its durability and simplicity, fitting almost any decor.
- Cotton: Cotton is a little more uniform than linen thanks to its tighter weave. It’s lightweight and soft.
- Paper: Paper lampshades have lots of texture and are good at simulating rustic materials. They’re the most translucent material.
- Silk: Silk is a very luxurious material that can class up any room. It’s thick with a classic sheen.
- Fiber: Elaborate lampshade designs can be made from sculptural materials such as wood. Look for wicker, rattan or burlap. Light quality depends on their weave.
Fitter
The fitter is the structural component that attaches the shade to your lamp. There are four kinds:
- Spider: A spider fitter sits at the top of the shade and uses spokes to hold up a center washer that connects to your lamp. You lock it on with a finial.
- Clip-on: Clip-ons use clamping metal tongs to clasp the light bulb of your lamp.
- Uno: These are similar to spider fitters in their design but travel to the bottom of the lamp so they rest at the base of the light bulb.
- Screw-on: Like uno fitters, screw-ons sit beneath the light bulb, screwing onto the lamp fixture.
Finials
These are the little decorative end pieces that screw the fitter onto the lamp. If your lamp fitter requires a finial, think about the design you want. Many ornamental finials are better suited to classically inspired decors, but that doesn’t mean your rustic home has to do without these fun accents. Pine cones, driftwood, sculptural wildlife and other country-living inspired materials or flora and fauna all look great on a rustic lampshade.
How much you can expect to spend on a rustic lampshade
Depending on the material, a rustic lampshade can cost $30-$70.
Rustic lampshade FAQ
What width lampshade do I need?
A. If you’re styling a table lamp, most designers recommend choosing a lampshade whose base diameter measures within 2 inches of your lamp’s height. To get your lamp’s height, measure from the base just up to where the bulb’s socket cap begins. For floor lamps, you have more flexibility — size just so that the bulb has at least 2.5 inches on either side.
What height lampshade do I need?
A. Similar to width, the lampshade should be within a half-inch of the height of the lamp’s harp. The harp is the wire frame that begins at the socket cap and extends above the bulb so you can install your shade. If your lamp doesn’t have a harp, don’t exceed the height of the lamp’s body; aim for two-thirds the height.
How do I match my lampshade to my lamp?
A. When choosing a lampshade shape, you want it to mirror the shape of your lamp. A square base and round body match a lampshade of the same composition. Likewise, an oval shade looks great on a cylindrical lamp, but wonky on a squat, square one. There are no hard and fast rules, but this general guideline typically makes for a good pairing.

Gboard is one of Google’s feature-packed applications that is great no matter which platform you use it on. It is top-rated on both the Android Play Store and the Apple App Store alike and has been instrumental in bringing features like glide and voice typing to the mainstream. It has also gained quite a few helpful features lately, including the rollout of a grammar check feature using AI that works entirely on-device to preserve privacy.
Now a new feature is rolling out for Gboard that turns your text into emojis via a magic wand. This magic wand appears where the microphone normally resides, and only once you’ve already typed something that the keyboard can associate with Emojis. Android Police describes it as working in the following manner:
There are two modes here — tapping once will put an emoji translation after your text, and tapping it twice will insert one emoji between each word. Sometimes it works pretty well, while in other sentences, it’s kind of a hit-or-miss thing. So far it looks like you need your keyboard set to English, but we may see support for more languages in the future.
Android Police
I could not test this myself as the feature has not shown up for me even though I have the Gboard Beta app installed and updated to the latest version. It seems to be a staged rollout, as others have reported fully seeing this in action, so it is unclear whether you need to be on a specific version of the app to try this out or if you just have to wait your turn as it appears to be an account-level feature. I will be waiting for this to show up on my phone – hopefully soon – as I am curious to try this out. I will you updated if there are any new developments to report on this feature. | https://chromeunboxed.com/gboard-magic-wand-emojify | 2022-04-01T00:46:03Z |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose again this week as the key 30-year loan rate vaulted over 4.5% and attained its highest level since the end of 2018.
Against a backdrop of inflation at a four-decade high, the increases in home loan rates come a few weeks after the Federal Reserve raised by a quarter point its benchmark short-term interest rate — which it had kept near zero since the pandemic recession struck two years ago — to cool the economy. The central bank has signaled potentially up to seven additional rate hikes this year.
The developments mean that mortgage rates likely will continue to rise over the year.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan this week rose to 4.67% from 4.42% last week. That’s a sharp contrast from last year’s record-low mortgage rates of around 3%. A year ago, the 30-year rate stood at 3.18%.
The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, jumped to 3.83% from 3.63% last week.
Home prices are up about 15% over the past year and as much as 30% in some cities. Homes available for sale have been in short supply even before the pandemic started two years ago. Now higher prices and rising loan rates will make it even harder for would-be buyers as the spring homebuying season gets underway.
The government reported Thursday that an inflation gauge closely monitored by the Fed jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year earlier, with sharply higher prices for food, gasoline and other necessities squeezing Americans’ finances. That figure was the largest year-over-year rise in 40 years — since January 1982. Excluding volatile prices for food and energy, so-called core inflation increased 5.4% in February from 12 months earlier.
Robust consumer demand has combined with shortages of many goods to fuel the sharpest price jumps in four decades. Measures of inflation will likely worsen in the coming months because Thursday’s report doesn’t reflect the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began on Feb. 24. The war has disrupted global oil markets and accelerated prices for wheat, nickel and other key commodities.
Squeezed by inflation, U.S. consumers increased their spending by just 0.2% in February, down from a much larger 2.7% gain in January. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/long-term-mortgage-rates-rise-again-30-year-breaches-4-5/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:02Z |

Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest superhero is not, in the conventional sense, either "super" or a "hero," but he does have an unorthodox ailment and a weird skill-set to separate him from mere mortals. His name is Morbius, and while watching his origin story, you may get the feeling that somewhere in the cinematic multiverse, wires got crossed.
The film begins with a helicopter, transporting a cage to the sort of mist-shrouded isle you half expect King Kong to be inhabiting. But Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is looking to capture smaller game as he approaches the mouth of a cave, hobbling with difficulty on two crutch-like canes.
Positioning himself behind the wires of the cage, he slices open the palm of his hand and, as a roar of batwings echoes from inside the cave, murmurs to the copter pilot "if you're gonna run, do it now."
A rare blood disease treated with a bit o' bat
It's tempting to say "consider yourself warned," but the film's first hour or so, while unremarkable, is decently crafted.
Born with a rare blood disease, Michael Morbius has spent his entire life working on two things — a cure, and origami paper-folding. Natch, it occurs to him to fold together bat and human DNA.
Because the FDA would be unlikely to approve human trials, he and his beautiful co-researcher Martine (Adria Arjona) head in a cargo ship for international waters off the coast of Long Island in the company of eight thuggish mercenaries — think bloodbags — and once Morbius has been injected with bat DNA, it's just a matter of time before things go vampiric.
Let it be said that some side-effects from dabbling in "chiropter-y" are less ghastly than others. Bat DNA evidently gives you great cheekbones and abs to go with increased strength and speed.
Less salutary effects include new fangs that sprout from his gums with decades of decay baked in, and claws that erupt from his fingers pre-filthed. I mean, sure...why not? Except this is a man whose hair has the kind of sheen that comes from brushing it three times a day.
One other thing: he now needs to drink human blood every six hours. Happily, on his way to declining a Nobel Prize, Dr. Morbius invented "artificial blood," though that only fools his system for a while.
Color coded smoke effects for a Jekyll and his Hyde
If you're expecting a conventional Marvel movie, you should be aware going in that what Director Daniel Espinoza and his writers have come up with is more a horror flick with Marvel bells and whistles.
That means Leto's Morbius gets purplish smoke effects to go with those fang-baring snarls as he's riding air currents in subway tunnels, while the similarly afflicted Hyde to his Jekyll – a schoolboy chum played as an adult by an amusingly hopped-up Matt Smith, gets blue-ish vapor trails and snappier lines.
But there isn't much tension to their story. Or logic. At one point, Morbius overhears some counterfeiters passing fake $100s, and commandeers their printing press to make what appears to be an artificial-blood machine — because the technologies for fake-bills and fake-blood match up? Maybe that works better in a comic book.
Bat guys everywhere you look
Speaking of which, when the DC Extended Universe first announced that Twilight star Robert Pattinson would play the lead in The Batman in their corner of the superhero multiverse, it seemed like a nice inside joke — from Vampire-teen to Bat-man. But now that the Marvelverse has Leto going full Dracula, it seems as if the casting maybe could've gone the other way 'round.
Leto is as persuasively haunted by the dark side of vigilantism as Pattinson was, and as a result of corporate positioning, is maybe more determined to avoid being a villain. Not unlike Venom, Morbius was a bad guy when he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man comics, back in the 1970's. He needs to be at least an anti-hero now, if a franchise is to be built around him.
But bad guy/bat guy...who's to say? As the trailers reveal, another DC bat-guy, Michael Keaton, shows up in his non-batty baddie Marvel persona Adrian Toomes, just to mess with the heads of anyone trying to keep cinematic universes straight.
But bloodlines will have to be clarified in more robust "Morbius" episodes to come, this origin story being merely adequate, and by Marvel standards, slightly anemic.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The prosecutor’s office of the International Criminal Court said Thursday that it will open an office in Venezuela as it investigates allegations of torture and killings by the South American country’s security forces.
The decision to open the office was announced by ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan at the end of a three-day trip to the capital, Caracas.
In a televised appearance alongside President Nicolás Maduro, Khan said he welcomed the commitment of the Venezuelan government to explore cooperation and technical assistance as part of the efforts to investigate alleged crimes against humanity.
Among other measures, Khan said Maduro’s government agreed to provide visas to court officials and to the participation of international organizations and partners, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
“Any state that encounters difficulties in complying with the rule of law must be respected,” Khan said. He added that he is “aware that the visit has not been easy, perhaps; but I feel very grateful for the commitment and the frank debates that we have had.”
Khan announced the investigation in November. At the time, the court and Maduro’s administration signed a memorandum of understanding in which the government agreed to cooperate to clarify the facts that led to the initiation of the process.
That announcement followed a lengthy preliminary probe started in February 2018 that focused on allegations of excessive force, arbitrary detention and torture by security forces during a crackdown on anti-government protests in 2017.
Khan’s predecessor, Fatou Bensouda, had indicated there was a reasonable basis to conclude that crimes against humanity had been committed in Venezuela, echoing the findings of the U.N.’s human rights council last year. But she left the decision to open any probe to Khan, a British lawyer who took the reins of the ICC earlier this year.
Maduro on Thursday said the opening of the office in Venezuela will allow for an “effective level of dialogue” that will help clarify the facts in a timely manner.
“We are first interested in seeing justice carried out, and where a crime of the characteristics is committed, it be punished according to the law, on time,” Maduro said. He added that the country’s judicial system is being overhauled.
Since its creation two decades ago, the ICC has mostly focused on atrocities committed in Africa. It could be years before any criminal charges are presented as part of the court’s investigation.
In a written statement, Khan said the start of the process “is not a one-way street” and should also serve as the basis for stronger partnerships.
He said efforts to put into effect the memorandum of understanding will include providing technical assistance and knowledge transfer to Venezuelan authorities “to support the effective investigation and prosecution at the national level of alleged crimes,” as well as offering training and expert advice to help implement domestic legislation. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/americas/2022/03/31/international-criminal-court-to-open-office-in-venezuela.html | 2022-04-01T00:46:04Z |

Construction Slated To Begin in 2023
Jacobs Engineering has been selected by Empire Offshore Wind, a joint venture between Equinor and BP plc, for the detail design of the city-owned South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Sunset Park.
The facility will serve as an operations and maintenance base and staging and assembly port for wind turbine installation.
Operations at South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) will support the Empire Wind and Beacon Wind offshore wind farms that are in development off the coast of Long Island. Once completed, the projects are projected to reduce carbon emissions while providing clean energy to more than 2 million New York homes.
The site redevelopment will transform more than 70 acres of underutilized property into a vibrant, working waterfront. Expected to be one of the largest offshore wind port facilities in the nation, the site will contribute to New York’s clean energy transition and provide direct economic benefits to the local community, including jobs in the renewable energy sector.
Engineering and design began in March 2022, with construction anticipated to start at SBMT during the second half of 2023. In January, the project was given a boost by a $25 million federal grant secured by U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer. The facility was proposed in late 2020 by Schumer and other officials, then approved by the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority in 2021.
“Designing infrastructure to revitalize communities and help meet our future sustainability goals is at the core of our purpose,” said Gary Morris, senior vice president of Jacobs Buildings & Infrastructure Americas, North Region. “We share the mission of New York City and State to meet critical climate adaptation needs and to accelerate clean energy options through development of the SBMT.”
The architectural and engineering design services contract includes oversight for the modification of existing bulkheads to strengthen and accommodate heavy-lift operations, upland site redevelopment, coordination with ongoing remediation efforts, dredging, a new green operations and maintenance facility, new docking facilities for crew transfer and service operation vessels, utility upgrades, permitting and construction support.
All services will be led out of Jacobs’ New York City office, supported by a team of local New York-based partners, many of whom live in the Brooklyn neighborhoods near the project site.
“Following our recently announced agreement to transform the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, Equinor and BP are moving forward with this next step in realizing our offshore wind hub vision. The contract award will bring direct jobs to the local community, leaning on Jacobs’ expertise to advance these vital port facilities to support Empire Wind, Beacon Wind and the wider offshore wind industry,” said Teddy Muhlfelder, acting vice president of Empire Wind and Beacon Wind, Equinor Renewables U.S.
Jacobs Engineering provides engineering, technical, professional and construction services for a broad range of companies, organizations and government agencies worldwide. Last year, Engineering News-Record, a trade publication, ranked Jacobs No. 1 in its list of Top 500 design firms in the world. | https://brooklynreporter.com/2022/03/jacobs-top-rated-engineering-firm-chosen-to-detail-design-brooklyn-wind-turbine-assembly-facility/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:04Z |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said. | https://kfor.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:07Z |

North Korea confirms spy satellite tests
North Korean state media said on Sunday that the country performed tests that would be necessary to create a spy satellite, signaling that the pariah state could soon launch a long-range rocket despite a United Nations ban.
The Korean Central News Agency said on Sunday North Korea had conducted “another important test” to test a reconnaissance satellite’s data transmission and reception as well as control systems, according to The Associated Press.
However, it remains unclear if North Korea has a camera that would be able to produce images in a high enough resolution to have spying capabilities. The country would need to launch a long-range rocket to put such a satellite into orbit.
“While it may succeed in what it calls ‘a reconnaissance satellite launch,’ it would still likely take a very long time for North Korea to obtain militarily meaningful reconnaissance technology because of powerful international sanctions that restrict its import of high-tech equipment and its poor civilian technology,” Cheong Seong-Chang, an analyst at the Sejong Institute in South Korea, told the AP.
Sunday’s announcement marked the second tests of this kind in roughly a week, marking the increased possibility of a long-range rocket launch.
The report comes after North Korea fired a ballistic missile test into the sea on Saturday.
After that launch was detected by the South Korean military, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said U.S. and South Korean intelligence officials were analyzing the situation.
Following several launches in January, North Korean officials warned that it might resume nuclear tests because of what they have referred to as the hostility of the U.S.

We’re still a day out from the “official” launch of ChromeOS 100 but it appears that Google couldn’t wait any longer to share the news. For an operating system with humble and highly-criticized beginnings, ChromeOS has grown light-years beyond the “browser-in-a-box” that made its debut all the way back in 2009. While version 100 does bring with it some useful updates, Google has taken some time to look back at how ChromeOS has evolved over the past few years with some key highlights from the ecosystem.
Before we take that walk down memory lane, let’s take a look at what’s coming with ChromeOS 100. There are not a ton of new features to look for but the updates here are useful and only help to solidify ChromeOS as a well-rounded platform that’s a great option for a wide variety of users. Here’s a look at what’s new.
Launcher overhaul
We’ve been talking about this one for months and Google has finally delivered the goods. The ChromeOS launcher is finally returning to the left side of the screen and getting some much-needed enhancements. Now, when you press the “Everything” key, the launcher will pop up on the left side of your screen as not to cannibalize your screen real estate.
In addition to the new look, the launcher has learned some new tricks to make it way more useful than ever before. First and foremost, you will finally have the ability to sort your apps in the launcher. This update will give you the option to sort by name or app color as well as organize apps manually. The search bar is getting a power-up as well. Instead of truncated search results, the launcher’s search bar will now present more detailed preview information when searching weather, news, or other useful information. This lets you see your results without the need to leave the launcher at all. It will even show you results from open Chrome tabs to make it easier to find that one particular page you’ve buried amongst the hoard.
Dictation Editing
The dictation feature on ChromeOS is a powerful way to boost your productivity by giving you the ability to convert your text to speech in any field where you may normally type. With ChromeOS 100, users will now have the ability to edit their dictation hands-free. You can say “delete” to remove the last character or “move to the next character” to advance your cursor. Saying “help” while dictating will open the corresponding help menu for a full list of commands
Gif Creation
As discovered last year, the ChromeOS camera app will now allow you to take short, five-second videos to create a gif. The video is automatically converted to a Gif file and you can share it directly from the app to your email, Share Sheet, and even using Nearby Share.
School accounts on Family Link
This feature was actually announced back in December of 2020. That said, Google has added some much-needed supervision tools to Family Link that allows parents to manage YouTube usage via the app while a student is signed into a Google for Education account. Students can also access YouTube videos for school even when offline thanks to a new version of the YouTube app designed specifically for ChromeOS
Admin Device Insights
On the admin side of things, Google is rolling out a new report that gives IT administrators an at-a-glance view of enrolled devices that need attention. Additionally, the new Chrome Telemetry API allows admins to view more detailed device information as well as create personalized reports for said devices.
Developer Highlight
That wraps up what you can expect to see as ChromeOS 100 begins rolling out to users. With this landmark release, Google wants to spotlight the developer tools available for ChromeOS. This includes advances made not only for but on the ChromeOS platform over the past few years. Much of that work began in 2020 with the rollout of the ChromeOS.dev website where developers can find tools for creating apps for larger displays, gain insight on best practices, and even find sample code to help accelerate the development process.
ChromeOS.dev now has a new look and will be home to even more content for developers. This will include dedicated resources for Education-specific app developers and those building apps for the Enterprise sector. In typical Google fashion, there’s even an Easter Egg somewhere on the site to be found as you explore the new content. Check out the revamped site here.
Continuing the ChromeOS highlights, Google points out that Android app usage on Chromebooks has increased by 50%.
Android apps have quickly evolved beyond mobile — more and more people are using them on larger screens. On Chromebooks alone, the number of Android app users increased 50% year over year in 2021.

New Android Container
It’s been a long road for Android applications on ChromeOS but the experience is finally coming into its own. This experience should be bolstered as more devices make the transition from the dated ARC framework to the long-awaited ARCVM that will begin rolling out more widely with ChromeOS 100.
The latest version of ARC, ARCVM, launched in 2021 with Android 11 and is currently rolling out to devices. As you may guess from the name, it uses virtual machines (VM) to enhance the isolation of the Android environment in order to improve security and maintainability.
ChromeOS.dev Blog
The new virtual machine version of ARC will allow developers to increase security with a fully sandboxed environment while keeping things fast with updates that can be launched independently of ChromeOS updates. To learn more about ARCVM and what it means for ChromeOS, check out the blog post from ChromeOS.dev.
PWAs
Google has been hot and heavy on Progressive Web Apps and ChromeOS.dev is making it even easier for developers to take their web-based software and package it for the Google Play Store. This blurs the lines between PWAs and traditional Android apps by allowing the Progressive Web Apps to be discovered and delivered exactly the same way you would any other app from the Play Store.
In today’s ChromeOS.dev news, you can find case studies from the popular platforms Codecademy and Quicken’s Simplifi on how the developers were able to increase monetization and user engagement through newly-designed Progressive Web Apps. You’ll also hear about the evolution of Google’s in-house PWA Cursive. Below, you can see other popular applications that are leveraging the powerful PWA web technology.
Linux and Gaming on ChromeOS
Just in case you missed it, Google wanted to take a moment to point out the fact that Chromebooks have rapidly become a place for developers and gamers alike. With the Linux tools on compatible Chromebooks, developers can run Android Studio as well as many other code editors to compile and test their products. Web apps and Android apks can then be tested right there on the same machine. Thanks to Linux and Android, web apps can be tested in a wide variety of browsers, mobile and desktop alike.
Gaming, if you hadn’t heard, has taken a huge leap forward as well for Chromebooks. Not only can you play your favorite mobile games via the Play Store, streaming services like Stadia, GeForce Now and Luna give users access to thousands of AAA game titles. Google has taken things a step further with the recent announcement of Steam Alpha for ChromeOS. This collaboration with Valve will bring tens of thousands of PC games directly to ChromeOS via a customized container designed specifically for Steam. It’s still in the early stages but things are looking really good at this point and this could make ChromeOS the most widely-available gaming platform on the market.
That’s about it for ChromeOS 100. I’m sure that there will be some more hidden features to unearth and we’ll gather those up for a later post. For now, we’re excited to celebrate this monumental release with Google and look forward to what the next one hundred iterations of our favorite OS will bring. Hope you join us for the ride. You can read the full announcement on The Keyword here and stay tuned for an exclusive interview in which we sit down with Google’s Senior Director of Software Development Alexander Kuscher. It’s always a pleasure chatting with Alex and he’s just as excited about the future of ChromeOS as we are. | https://chromeunboxed.com/google-announces-chromeos-100/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:09Z |

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

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women’s college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I ... am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey’s response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.
“It’s quite shocking that he can’t even address trans people or even say that he thinks they exist,” Bridget Sharpe said.
Wednesday’s signing of the two transgender bills and a third that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and is currently unconstitutional put Ducey right in the middle of two top issues national Republicans are highlighting in the runup to November’s midterm elections.
Ducey also signed election legislation that minority Democrats said amounted to voter suppression by requiring longtime Arizonans to be thrown off the voter rolls if they did not prove their citizenship and residence location.
The governor leads the Republican Governors Association, which is charged with helping elect GOP chief executives in U.S. states. He in is the last year of his second term as Arizona governor and term limits bar him from seeking reelection.
The top Democrat in the state House, Rep. Reginald Bolding, called Wednesday “probably one of the darkest days we’ve seen in the history of Arizona.“
“With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ducey has hurled Arizona backwards to its ugliest past,” Bolding said Wednesday. “And today, he put in jeopardy pregnant people, transgender youth in danger and curtailed voting rights for people of color.”
Social conservative groups and the Arizona Republican Party praised Ducey’s action. The Center for Arizona Policy, whose president shepherded the abortion and women’s sports bills through the Legislature, called it a victory.
“Thank you, Governor Ducey, for taking a bold stand for women athletes, vulnerable children, and the unborn by putting your signature on (the bills) in the face of intense opposition from activists,” Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod said in a news release she posted on Twitter.
She said the legislation protects the unborn, ensures a level playing field for female athletes and shows that “Arizona will do everything it can to protect vulnerable children struggling with gender confusion” by enacting the surgery ban.
Ducey said the surgery ban protects children from irreversible decisions.
“These are permanent surgeries of reassignment that are irreversible, and those discussions can happen once adulthood is reached,” he said.
The American Civil Liberties Association has vowed to sue over the surgery ban. U.S. Supreme Court precedent currently says women have a constitutional right to abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, although it is considering whether to uphold a 15-week ban enacted in Mississippi and may overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision enshrining a woman’s right to choose.
Arizona joins 13 other states in enacting laws preventing transgender girls and women from playing on girls teams. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a transgender sports ban in his state, saying it would harm transgender girls, but the Legislature overrode the veto. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb also vetoed a sports bill, but lawmakers hope to override his action as well. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2022/03/31/arizona-governor-wont-say-transgender-people-exist.html | 2022-04-01T00:46:10Z |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Police found five fetuses in the home of a self-proclaimed “anti-abortion activist” who was indicted this week on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of people who blocked access to a Washington, D.C. reproductive health center.
The Metropolitan Police Department says officers were responding to a tip about “potential bio-hazard material” at a home in Southeast Washington on Wednesday when they located the five fetuses inside.
A local television station, WUSA9, captured video of police searching the home and reported that the home belonged to Lauren Handy. The 28-year-old was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public on Wednesday that accused the group of traveling to Washington, blocking access to the reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook.
The station, which first reported the discovery, said Handy told a reporter that “people will freak out when they hear” what detectives found inside her house. Handy did not respond to a message sent to her Facebook profile seeking comment.
Police said the five fetuses were collected by Washington’s medical examiner and the investigation is ongoing.
In the indictment, prosecutors said Handy had called the clinic pretending to be a prospective patient and scheduling an appointment. Once there, on Oct. 22, 2020, eight of the suspects pushed their way inside and began blocking the doors, according to the indictment. Five of them chained themselves together on chairs to block the treatment area as others blocked the employee entrance to stop other patients from coming inside, the indictment alleges. Another suspect blocked people from coming into the waiting room, prosecutors charge.
Handy and the eight others were charged with conspiracy against rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The federal law, more commonly known as the FACE Act, prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/5-fetuses-found-inside-dc-home-of-anti-abortion-activist/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:09Z |

Or 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. | https://www.kcci.com/article/first-lawsuit-florida-law-lgbtq-topics-classroom/39600782 | 2022-04-01T00:46:11Z |

“Our events are meant to come with a sense of community,” Marketing & PR Director Zach Schneider said, “and that’s tough to replicate with a limited field. Our participants this year will again be surrounded by lots of people with the same goals, and that type of positive energy can be very helpful not just in a race but in life.”
This year’s Fitger’s 5K field will be capped at 2,000 participants and is expected to sell out prior to race day. The event will also return to an out-and-back racecourse, first introduced in 2019, that uses mainly Superior Street and London Road.
That’s after just 900 people were able to participate last year, using a modified wave start process and racecourse designed to promote social distancing.
The 2022 Fitger’s 5K is scheduled for a 9:00 a.m. start on Saturday, April 23. The cost of the race is $35 for adults ($40 on race day) and $15 for youth (ages 12 and under). Each participant will receive a commemorative Fitger’s 5K long sleeve shirt and pair of Fitsoks.

Stellantis Reveals Hurricane Twin-Turbo Straight Six
Stellantis isn’t quite ready to give up internal combustion engines just yet, but it’s saying goodbye to its iconic HEMI V8 sooner rather than later. In line to take that legendary engine’s place is a new twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder called the Hurricane. Given what it can do, one has to think there won’t be too much grumbling from purists.
Stay on Top of It: Tips for maintaining your Jeep Grand Cherokee and keeping it on the road longer
High-output Hurricane twin-turbo will top 500 horsepower
The Hurricane is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six that’ll become the main engine for vehicles on the STLA Large and STLA Frame platforms. It leverages similar design elements from the 2.0-liter turbo available with the Wrangler and Cherokee and seems ideally fit for heavy hitters like the Ram 1500, Wagoneer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Dodge Challenger and Charger.
Stellantis says that it’ll offer the engine in standard-output and high-output variants. The SO targets better efficiency but should still eclipse 400 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. The HO? Ho-boy, it’s a doozy. We’re looking at 500 horsepower plus and more than 475 lb-ft of torque as well as “significant fuel economy during heavy use, such as towing.”
Even eclipsing the numbers of the 392 HEMI, the Hurricane twin-turbo should be about 15 percent more efficient. Both should also be plenty smooth, getting at least 90 percent of peak torque at 2,350 rpm all the way up to redline.
“The Hurricane twin-turbo is a no-compromise engine that delivers better fuel economy and an important reduction in greenhouse gases without asking our customers to give up performance,” said Stellantis’ head of propulsion systems, Micky Bly.
Stellantis staring down 50 percent BEV sales mix by 2030
Bly added that the Hurricane twin-turbo lines up with plans for a 50 percent all-electric sales mix by 2030. It also aligns with the goal of cutting Stellantis’s carbon footprint by 50 percent by the end of the decade.
Short of pairing the Hurricane with a plug-in hybrid system ala the 2.0-liter turbo in the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe, there’s no immediate replacement for the supercharged HEMIs offered with SRT models. More likely, those V8s will be moved out by all-electric powertrains somewhere down the line.
The first vehicles with the Hurricane twin-turbo should pop up sometime later this year. As for what those vehicles will be and what will become of HEMI (and, for that matter, the Pentastar V6)? We’ll just have to see how the cookie crumbles.

Mexico suspends league soccer matches after 23 hospitalized in brawl
Mexican soccer officials suspended all league matches scheduled for Sunday after 23 people were hospitalized following multiple brawls among fans during a match the day before, The Associated Press reported.
The Mexican Soccer Federation said it suspended three matches following the altercation.
“We regret and condemn these events, which run contrary to the spirit of our soccer,” the league said.
A match on Saturday between Queretaro and Atlas was postponed in the 62nd minute when multiple fights between spectators broke out.
Security personnel at the match opened the gates to the field so the remaining fans could escape the melee.
Atlas players along with some on the Queretaro side fled to their locker rooms when the brawl began, while other Queretaro players remained to try to calm fans down, according to the AP.
Authorities said some fights moved onto the field, where some fans had chairs and metal bars.
As a result, 23 individuals were taken to nearby medical facilities with injuries they sustained from the brawl.
Ten of the individuals were in serious condition, and three were in critical condition, the AP reported.
The three men in critical condition were seen via social media videos being repeatedly kicked and pummeled by other spectators.
In a statement, Queretaro Gov. Mauricio Kuri condemned the incident.
“What happened yesterday fills me with pain, with shame and a lot of rage,” Kuri said. “I have no words strong enough to condemn the violence, the abusiveness and the senselessness of what happened yesterday.”
This is the latest incident in a recent string of violence at soccer events.
Atlas fans also started a brawl during their team’s “classic” match against crosstown rival Chivas last year, the AP reported.
Both soccer clubs have issued statements condemning the fight, the AP noted.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

Google Docs has supported Markdown – a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor – for some time now in a very limited capacity when composing a document. The syntax is aimed at making writing for the internet easier and is a popular alternative to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors, which use rich text that later gets converted to proper HTML.
Currently, Markdown support in Google Docs takes place as an autocorrect feature and only in very specific instances, such as when you use the operator “or” followed by a space, which autocorrects to bullet points, or when you type an opening and closing bracket “[]” followed by a space, which autocorrects to checkboxes. However, that is about to change as Google has announced via their Google Workspace Blog that support for Markdown autocorrection in Google Docs is expanding, requiring you to only select “Automatically detect Markdown” from Tools > Preferences to enable the feature.
The expanded support will now support autocorrection for:
1. Headings
2. Italic and bold
3. Bold + italic
4. Strikethrough
5. Links
In the video example below, Google demonstrates how Markdown could be used within Docs by using the number sign “#” to denote a heading and increasing its amount to go from Heading 1 to Heading 6, as well as using two asterisks before and after a phrase to make it Bold. For those familiar with the syntax and who use it regularly, this can definitely speed up typing and productivity. You can also learn more about Markup and its syntax here. The feature will be OFF by default and can be enabled in Docs under Tools > Preferences. This is an extended rollout that started yesterday, may take up to 15 days for full visibility, and will be available to all Workspace and personal Google accounts.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to using a markup language as Markdown. Some swear by it because of its portability and ease of use, while some think it’s just as easy to use keyboard shortcuts instead on a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. Regardless of one’s opinion, Markup is extremely popular, and Google Docs adding expanded support for it is a good move that strengthens its feature set for a wide variety of users. I am looking forward to Google Docs adding more helpful features like this one in the future. | https://chromeunboxed.com/google-docs-expanded-markdown | 2022-04-01T00:46:15Z |

Which telescope is best?
Staring up at the night sky, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with the sheer size of the galaxy. There are millions of things to look at, but you need the right equipment. If you’ve already started to peer at objects with binoculars, it might be time to upgrade to a telescope.
The right telescope for you largely depends on what you want to study, but the Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ is an excellent gadget to get you going. It’s easy to use and powerful enough to see every little detail.
What to know before you buy a telescope
Kinds of telescopes
When most people think of a telescope, they imagine a long tube with an eyeglass at one end. These typical models are called refractor telescopes and are only one type of many. The other popular choice is a reflector telescope, which gathers light through a mirror. There are also compound telescopes, which are wider than others. No matter the telescope type, you’re going to need a telescope bag to safely store and carry it.
The aperture determines what you can see
A telescope’s aperture is one of the most important components. Simply put, the aperture is how large the mirror is on the inside, which is directly related to how much light it can gather. The more light it gathers, the better the details and you can see fainter objects. The aperture is measured in millimeters, and you typically need larger mirrors depending on the surrounding light.
More darkness increases your enjoyment
The best conditions for using a telescope are in an area that has very little light pollution. For example, in a suburban neighborhood, you won’t see as many stars and galaxies as you would in an open field far away from the city. The size of the aperture can only help you up to a point, after which you might need to go somewhere else for viewing — or invest in a bigger aperture.
What to look for in a quality telescope
Lens and magnification accessories
Looking through a telescope lens is exciting, but you often want to see things in greater detail. Look for a telescope that has a variety of eyepieces and accessories. The most common eyepiece you’ll find is the Barlow lens for three-times magnification and the Infinity eyepiece. There are also eyepiece adapters that increase the magnification of the Barlow lens to 120x.
Automated Go-To feature
It’s always a good idea to study the night sky where you live. Make sure that you know which galaxies are where and you can identify the brightest stars. Luckily, you don’t have to pore over maps to see planets and formations; a good-quality telescope should have an automated Go-To feature. Through a handheld remote, you tell the telescope what you want to look at, and after a short calibration, it will automatically turn to align itself with the object.
Phone attachment and Bluetooth remote
It’s a great experience to look at distant planets or even our moon, but it’s more fun if you can take pictures of it, and a quality telescope may have a mobile phone attachment. It looks similar to a car holder, where the device is held in place over the eyepiece. By using the device’s default camera (and to reduce shaking), a Bluetooth remote will trigger the camera to snap a photo of the celestial body.
How much you can expect to spend on a telescope
The average price of a telescope can vary wildly depending on its capabilities and functions. An entry-level or kids’ telescope can retail for $40-$50, while an amateur telescope can retail for $100-$200. Much larger professional telescopes retail for $1,000-$2,000.
Telescope FAQ
Do you need to know where the stars are before using a telescope?
A. Not necessarily, but it will certainly be advantageous. If your telescope can track objects or automatically point toward them, the work is done for you, but if your telescope doesn’t have the function, it’s helpful to at least know where the brightest and most popular objects are.
Do telescopes require batteries to operate?
A. For the most part, they don’t. There are no electronic parts inside the telescope tube or eyepiece. If you’re looking at a model that has auto-tracking and a remote, you’ll need to insert rechargeable batteries into the controller.
What’s the best telescope to buy?
Top telescope

Question: Question: With spring being here and the melting snow, can you talk about what a person should do when coming across water on roads?
Answer: Flooding can occur when streams and rivers flow over their banks, when dams or levees break, when there is run-off from deep snow or any time there is heavy rainfall. Floodwaters can be found on roads, bridges and low areas. Flash floods can come rapidly and unexpectedly. They can occur within a few minutes or hours of excessive rainfall.
• Do not drive through flooded areas. If you see a flooded roadway ahead, turn around and find another route to get to your destination.
• Be cautious, especially at night, when the visibility is limited.
• Remember, 6 inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars, causing loss of control or possible stalling.
• Two feet of moving water can carry away most vehicles including sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks.
• Even if the water appears shallow enough to cross, do not attempt to cross a flooded road. Water can hide dips, or worse, floodwaters can damage roadways by washing away the underlying road surface.
• If there is no other route, proceed to higher ground and wait for the waters to subside.

NEW YORK (AP) — Marjorie Miller, vice president and global enterprise editor at The Associated Press, has been named as the new administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes.
Miller spent 27 years at the Los Angeles Times as a correspondent in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. She was the newspaper’s foreign editor when it won a Pulitzer Prize for Russia coverage and was a finalist for Iraq War coverage.
She joined AP in 2010 as the regional editor for Latin America, where her team produced award-winning coverage of cartel violence. In 2015, she moved to New York to help lead daily news coverage and enterprise. Two years later she became the founding leader of AP’s Global Enterprise Team, overseeing reporting projects in all formats, including work from Yemen that won the 2019 Pulitzer for International Reporting.
Her appointment was announced Thursday by the Pulitzer Prize Board and by Lee C. Bollinger, president of Columbia University, which hosts the prestigious journalism awards.
“I cannot think of a better steward for the Pulitzer Prizes, which celebrate excellence in journalism, arts, and letters and recognize the powerful, public service role they play in promoting tolerance, advancing the search for truth, and protecting the free exchange of information and ideas,” Bollinger said.
Miller succeeds acting administrator Edward Kliment, who will stay on as Miller’s deputy. She begins her new role on April 11. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/aps-marjorie-miller-named-as-new-head-of-pulitzer-prizes/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:17Z |

Which auto-follow drone is best?
Capturing magnificent scenes with a high-flying drone is a common method used by videographers to create content. The drones are steered with a flight stick or controller and go wherever the pilot directs them.
But sometimes, you want the drone to capture you in action. If there is nobody else to control the drone, you’re going to have a problem. That is where an auto-follow drone comes in, and as the name implies, it will automatically follow you as you run, bike or ski. One of the best auto-follow drones is the DJI Air 2S Quadcopter Drone.
What to know before you buy an auto-follow drone
Know the difference between auto-follow and tracking
The two terms might sound the same, and some companies use them interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. An auto-follow drone doesn’t need a camera and can follow a signal. On the other hand, a tracking drone can memorize a face or object and track it. It will stay a certain distance away and continuously keep the object in the frame.
The size of the drone matters
Not all drones are built the same, and generally larger ones will have bigger batteries and more features. But that’s not to say that smaller, more affordable drones aren’t up to the task. Consider what kind of footage you want to capture and where you’ll be flying, and determine which size drone will be best for your needs.
Preferred method of control
You can operate drones through different control mechanisms. While professional drones use remote controllers and a screen, others operate easily with a mobile phone or a tablet. Consider which controlling method will be the easiest for you, as you can always upgrade to a headset when you get more comfortable.
What to look for in a quality auto-follow drone
Gimballed camera for stability
Under normal circumstances, you operate the drone through remote control. The pilot can steady the drone and capture any footage. But when it follows you, it is doing so automatically. Some stability is built into the flight, but a good-quality drone will have a gimballed camera. This prevents the camera from excessive shaking and will smoothly track the subject.
Obstacle sensing to prevent crashing
You don’t have any control over an auto-follow drone when it is in flight. To prevent the gadget from crashing into trees or buildings, a good-quality drone includes obstacle-sensing technology. This allows it to fly around or over anything that could block its flight path. It also allows the drone to keep track of you without breaking the line of sight.
Great camera for the best footage
If you use an auto-follow drone to capture images while running or going horse riding, you’ll want the footage to be as good as possible. A good-quality drone will capture 4K footage at 60 frames per second and take still photos with at least a 20-megapixel camera. Just bear in mind that you’ll need a suitable data storage device and enough battery power to fly some distance while recording.
How much you can expect to spend on an auto-follow drone
The average cost of an auto-follow drone will largely depend on the capabilities and functions of the device. An entry-level drone that can follow you retails for $150-$200, while professional drones can retail for $800-$1,500.
Auto-follow drone FAQ
How long is the flight time of a drone?
A. That will depend on the drone’s capabilities and the weather condition. On a sky, windless day, a typical drone can fly for around 35 minutes. Having to contend with wind can reduce the flying time to approximately 25 to 35 minutes.
What happens when the drone loses sight of you?
A. Most drones have a return-to-home function where they will fly back to their base station if they lose connectivity to the controller. Some drones go through several processes to re-establish a connection by themselves, like retracing their steps.
What’s the best auto-follow drone to buy?
Top auto-follow drone
What you need to know: For professional-quality footage, this drone will follow you wherever you go.
What you’ll love: This drone has an amazing 1-inch image sensor, making it capable of capturing footage at 5.4K at 30 frames per second or 4K at 60 frames per second. For auto-following, it features DJI’s Spotlight 2.0, ActiveTrack 4.0, and Point of Interest 3.0. It can track an object from as high as 1,600 feet and avoids collisions through environment sensing.
What you should consider: While it is one of the best drones available, the steep price tag could place it out of reach for most.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top auto-follow drone for the money
What you need to know: This affordable drone features a follow-me mode where it will hover automatically and record your movements.
What you’ll love: Capable of recording footage in 2K resolution, this drone has a 120-degree field of vision. It can follow you by GPS tracking, or you can let it fly a custom route. The drone has a control range of 980 feet and comes with two 1,000 mAh batteries.
What you should consider: Some users have indicated that the included batteries only provide for about 10 minutes of flying time.

Worth checking out
Holy Stone HS720 Foldable GPS Drone
What you need to know: This drone is perfect for shooting 4K content, as it comes with a shock absorption holder to minimize vibrations.
What you’ll love: Capturing footage at a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160, this drone has an adjustable lens that you can rotate 90 degrees. It has three auto-follow options to circle a specific point, fly on a pre-set course or follow your movements while recording. It comes with two batteries that provide 25 minutes of flying time each.
What you should consider: It doesn’t come with an SD card to save footage on, so you’ll have to provide your own.

Delivery driver rescues cat dumped in Des Moines
The Amazon driver witnessed the cat being thrown out of a car window. The cat not only survived but is in good health.
Updated: 7:06 PM CDT Mar 31, 2022
A young cat tossed from a car window Wednesday was rescued by an Amazon delivery driver who witnessed the shocking scene at Franklin Avenue and 46th Street. The driver stopped his truck and was able to get the kitten to run into his arms to safety. Then, he took her to Iowa Pet Foods and Seascapes in West Des Moines. "She's healthy, she ate, she's purring and she's in good shape," said Lori Sandahl, the store owner. Whatever the circumstances that led up to the dumping, the cat had certainly been house trained. She uses the litterbox and looks for any chance to cuddle. "She's just full of life, purring from the moment she came in the front door," Sandahl said. "So, she knows she's in a safe place."The cat went for a checkup Wednesday, and then following a quarantine period, she'll be up for adoption. "She's ready for lap time and cuddle time," Sandahl said. "You'll find your forever home fast."

To date, Google Meet allows you to host meetings for up to 500 active attendees, but no more, and they all have to be a part of your Workspace organization. This limit is probably due to Google’s server capacity for the Meet software or perhaps it’s in place because most Workspace users don’t or won’t go any higher than this.
That’s likely been the reason historically, but in recent times, users have been begging Google to either increase this cap or to allow live streaming to external platforms so that they can increase the reach of the message they’re spreading using the company’s tools.
Ever since the pandemic began, video call usage has exploded, and pretty much everyone is using this technology to connect with loved ones, conduct business meetings, and even just to touch base with friends whom they used to sit down face-to-face with prior to COVID and all that it’s changed in our society.
In light of this, Google announced today that it will introduce direct to YouTube live streaming later this year! This means that after starting a Meet call, you’ll be able to activate a connection to YouTube right from the activities tab, allowing any number of viewers to see your call – “no cap”.
The recently announced real-time video reactions for Meet are likely being added not only for call participants but also for YouTube viewers who tune into your call later this year. Giving millions of people a way to interact with your content and then hopefully letting you collect analytics about which aspects of the call were most engaging sounds like a win to me. At this time, emoji reactions are not said to be coming to YouTube in regards to Meet, but I can see this being a great way to use them.
In addition to live streaming capabilities, Google Meet is also getting direct integration with Docs, Sheets, and Slides, a picture-in-picture mode, Q&A and polls for attendees, improvements to companion mode, and more. Let me know in the comments if you think you’ll have a use for putting your Meet business out there for the world to see via YouTube, or if you’re going to keep a tight circle. | https://chromeunboxed.com/google-meet-youtube-live-streaming-feature | 2022-04-01T00:46:22Z |

North Korea conducts ballistic missile tests
North Korea on Saturday fired a ballistic missile into the sea in an effort to test weapons, The Associated Press reports.
The launch was detected by the South Korean military, and the country’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said that the missile flew about 270 kilometers (168 miles) at a maximum altitude of 560 kilometers (348 miles) and landed in the sea between Korea and Japan.
The missile was fired from a location in the Sunan area, near the North Korean capital of Pyongyang.
U.S. and South Korean intelligence officials are analyzing the launch, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The missile test was North Korea’s ninth round of launches in 2022, following a slew of launches in January.
North Korean officials said in late January that it might resume nuclear tests due to what it described as the hostility of the U.S.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s Workers’ Party of Korea accused the U.S. of “recklessly faulting for no reason the DPRK’s legitimate exercise of sovereignty.”
North Korea’s latest launch occurred Sunday and also originated in the Sunan area.
Sunday’s launch was to test a camera system North Korea wants to install on a spy satellite, according to North Korea.
Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi called the launch “absolutely unacceptable.”
“The missile was fired just as the international community is responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while also in the middle of the Beijing Paralympics,” Kishi said.

It was March 6, 2020, when COVID-19 was first diagnosed in Minnesota, triggering a cascade of actions that had been imagined and practiced by local public health, health care, and emergency leaders for years. The course of the SAR-CoV-2 virus and the resulting COVID-19 infection here, however, could not have been fully imagined.
It took 23 more anxious days for COVID to reach Itasca County, first diagnosed on March 29 in a 60-year-old male resident. By then, Itasca County Public Health had set up shop with emergency management at Grand Rapids Airport and convened the many organizations who likely would need to work together to keep the community as safe as possible. The first in-person meeting of these stakeholders was the last before they and the world moved online.
Health care, skilled nursing facilities, law enforcement, schools, economic development, philanthropy, social service agencies, group homes, mental health providers, food banks joined local public health at the table. First tasks were to simply identify needs and work together to meet them. Gloves, masks, and disinfectant were the focus. No test was available for COVID, nobody knew yet how it spread, and there certainly was no vaccine.
The Itasca Area Stakeholders Group was built on long-held relationships and collaboration that not only held up to the tests of the pandemic, bonds have grown stronger through intensity and shared trauma, said Kelly Chandler, public health division manager for Itasca County and the face of the local fight against COVID. Chandler holds Master of Science, Registered Nurse and Public Health Nurse credentials.
“For me, the lowest point of the past two years was hearing the pleas of local emergency rooms to please help the community understand they were drowning, that they needed the community’s help to stop COVID infection from killing people and bringing available care to its knees,” said Chandler.
“Especially in 2021, when we were able to make public health decisions at the local level, many in the Itasca area instead turned on health care, schools and public health. Suddenly, we were no longer trusted. It was so unhelpful, things said on social media were unreal. There are real humans behind organizations, humans with families and doing everything they can to save lives.”
In contrast, Chandler said the highest point was when she heard laughter through the walls of her office at the Itasca Resource Center, realizing that COVID vaccines were being given for the first time. “I can still hear it. I can hear the joy and relief,” she said.
“I’d also say a high is all those who stepped up to help, stakeholders who have met and worked consistently for two years, volunteers who created MaskUp Itasca, helped get senior citizens registered for vaccines, stood with us against COVID throughout the past two years – we are stronger, and that gives me energy for the tasks ahead.
“I don’t know if people who weren’t involved know the collaboration that was happening in our community. There are still people who turn a blind eye, or just can’t listen or read about it, and have gone on their ways. But the amount of amazing, caring people who faced the challenge here is stunning. How much time they took from their families, putting themselves at risk to take care of others.”
According to the American Public Health Association, the field of public health is about promoting and protecting the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. “Public health saves money, improves our quality of life, helps children thrive and reduces human suffering,” according to the 150-year-old association.
Chandler’s first direct experience with the public health field was when, as a nursing student, she was assigned to work with a family in Carlton County who were living in a reformed chicken coop, with no running water, and needed wound care. “That experience never really left me,” she said.
Once she completed her nursing degree at College of St. Scholastica, Chandler returned home to Itasca County as an on-call nurse for hospice, a family home visiting nurse working with new mothers, and eventually becoming the county’s ranking public health official.
Assuming that the decline in COVID cases holds, what is ahead for Chandler and the county’s health team? “The future is about healing—relationships, our physical health, getting back to better habits and activities, moving out of isolation,” she said. “Data is telling us that Itasca County is left with serious after-effects of the pandemic, and that mental health and probably chemical health need community attention. I hope we are back to a place where we have energy to do better, because our community has been extremely divisive during the pandemic and it hurt us.”
On March 29, 2022, Itasca County marks two years since its first identified case of COVID-19. During that time, 10,980 random residents have been diagnosed with COVID (not counting at-home antigen tests), we have buried 144 loved ones and neighbors, 60 percent of all residents have been vaccinated and, still, babies continue to be born, nurses graduate, and grandparents can confidently love on their families again.
“We’ve been through a really hard thing,” acknowledged Chandler. “And we’re not quite done.” | https://www.grandrapidsmn.com/news/itasca-county-public-health-and-partners-still-battling-to-keep-residents-safe-and-alive/article_56591ff8-afa4-11ec-b947-5be464bed60e.html | 2022-04-01T00:46:23Z |

Which letterman jacket is best?
Letterman jackets, also known as varsity jackets, are a great addition to any closet and fit a range of styles, from classic American to streetwear. They’re also great protection against the cold, and in some cases can be worn while skiing or during other intense outdoor winter activities.
If you’re in the market for a well-made letterman jacket that promises to keep you warm, stylish and comfortable, check out the Stewart & Strauss Original Varsity Letterman.
What to know before you buy a letterman jacket
Fit and cut
Although letterman jackets feature the same general design, there are numerous fits and cuts. If you want something with a modern streetwear look, consider something with a boxy, oversized fit. If you want it to accentuate the width of your shoulders, opt for a cinched waist and a wider shoulder measurement. Or if you’re chasing the traditional look, consider something from a classic brand such as Ralph Lauren.
Level of warmth
Before you purchase a new letterman jacket, consider how much warmth you want it to provide. Although it’s not traditional, you can find puffer letterman jackets with down insulation, such as the quilted bomber from Tommy Hilfiger. If you want something you can wear during the milder months of fall and spring, consider one made from cotton or lightweight wool.
What to look for in a quality letterman jacket
Materials
Regardless of what type of letterman jacket you choose, premium materials are a hallmark of high-quality ones. If you choose a traditional varsity jacket such as the Pro Standard, keep an eye out for genuine leather sleeves and natural wool blends. If you want a puffer, consider jackets with certified animal-cruelty-free down or recycled synthetic insulation.
Quality buttons
Because letterman jackets tend to have buttons instead of a zipper, the quality of the buttons is important. High-quality letterman jackets have strong buttons that securely snap into place with a distinctive sound. Keep your eye out for bonuses, such as interesting contrasting colors or luxurious polished chrome buttons.
How much you can expect to spend on a letterman jacket
As with most clothing, there is a wide range of prices when it comes to letterman jackets. Expect to spend $50-$100 for high-quality affordable jackets and anywhere between $150-$400 for luxury ones.
Letterman jacket FAQ
Should I hang or fold my letterman jacket?
A. We’re often told to avoid hanging wool or folding leather, the two main materials in most varsity jackets — but avoid folding them at all costs. Because the leather is supple and the wool is thick, folding will create creases difficult to remove. To avoid hanger bumps at the end of the shoulder, where the leather starts, get a wooden hanger with large, smooth curves that won’t press against the leather.
What’s the origin of the letterman jacket?
A. They were first worn by Harvard University baseball players in 1865 and were popular with the athletes who wore them throughout the first half of the 20th century. They became a fashion trend in the 1950s, worn by such stars as James Dean and Elvis Presley, and later by Michael Jackson. Japanese fashion designer Nigo recently made the look trendy again.

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said Thursday he will meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Brussels next week to lay the groundwork for peace talks to end the decades-long conflict over the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The two leaders will meet in Brussels on April 6 with European Council President Charles Michel.
There have been recent clashes that have raised concerns about the stability of a cease-fire that ended the 2020 war over the separatist region.
“I hope to discuss at this meeting with the president of Azerbaijan and agree on all issues related to the start of negotiations on a peace agreement,” Pashinyan told a government meeting Thursday. He said Armenia “is ready for the immediate start of peace negotiations.”
Fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces reignited in Nagorno-Karabakh this month, and three soldiers in the breakaway region were killed last week.
More than 6,600 people were killed in the six-week war in 2020 that ended with Azerbaijan reclaiming control over large parts of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas that the Armenia-backed separatists controlled.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have been locked in a decades-old dispute over the separatist region, which lies within Azerbaijan but was under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994.
The cease-fire in 2020 was mediated by Russia, which then sent some 2,000 troops it called peacekeepers to the region.
Tensions on the two nations’ shared border have been building since May, when Armenia protested what it described as an incursion by Azerbaijani troops into its territory. Azerbaijan has insisted that its soldiers were deployed to what it considers its territory in areas where the border has yet to be demarcated.
Clashes have been reported ever since, and they intensified this month as Russia became increasingly bogged down in its invasion of Ukraine. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/armenia-azerbaijan-leaders-to-meet-amid-recent-fighting/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:24Z |

Which composting toilet is best?
If you’re looking to live off-grid or spend more time camping far away from facilities, the number one question is all about number two: what do you do with human waste? If you are looking to conserve resources and maybe even produce something useful for the garden, a composting toilet is the way to go.
For its odor control, ease of use and expanded capacity, the Nature’s Head Self-Contained Composting Toilet is the best choice.
What to know before you buy a composting toilet
Size
Composting toilets are a great solution when you need a bathroom on a boat, in a van or in a cabin, but size matters. Because many commercial composting toilets store the waste, they can be larger than even the smallest plumbed toilets. Measure carefully to make sure the composting toilet you choose fits in the space you have.
Capacity
Capacity concerns how much waste the toilet can hold before needing to be emptied. Larger families need a high-capacity toilet, but singles and couples can get away with smaller holding tanks.
The larger the composting toilet, the less frequently you will need to empty it. Keep that in mind if you want to cut down on basic maintenance tasks.
Portable or built-in
The beauty of a composting toilet is that it can go anywhere you want it to. It’s not tied to plumbing or water supply. However, even composting toilets can be built-in and more permanent. If you are adding a bathroom to an off-grid cabin, you might consider a built-in toilet that is fixed to the floor or the wall, but for travel or camping, a portable one is best.
What to look for in a quality composting toilet
Separate liquid waste tank
The main concern most people have with composting toilets is odor. A primary cause of odor is liquid waste. To keep odor down, a separate liquid waste tank is a good idea. This can also be emptied before solid waste is emptied, diluted with water and poured directly onto nitrogen-loving plants.
Composting crank
As with outdoor garden composting, turning the material results in faster decomposition. Some composting toilets feature a composting crank that moves the waste around to hasten its breakdown.
Leakproof and odorless
Especially for vans, boats and RVs, the last thing you want is a leaky composting toilet. While it’s always advisable to empty your waste tank before moving the toilet, sometimes that’s just not possible. Look for toilets with leakproof seals or single-body construction. This also helps trap any odors inside of the toilet until it can be emptied.
How much you can expect to spend on a composting toilet
True composting toilets are more complex than simply collecting waste in a plastic bag and throwing it out. Expect to spend $150-$1,500 on a good system.
Composting toilet FAQ
How does a composting toilet work?
A. Composting toilets follow the same principles as a garden compost pile. Gardeners add food scraps, leaf matter and plant material to a bin, rotating it and adding water. Natural bacteria (and worms in many cases) attack the pile and slowly break it down, creating a rich humus that adds nutrients back to the soil when used in the garden.
Composting toilets use solid and liquid waste, plus bulking materials like peat moss, sawdust or coconut coir, as the raw materials to create usable organic material. As with the garden compost, turning the material in the toilet helps aerobic bacteria quickly break down waste.
The process is simple.
- Add a bulking agent to the toilet (if needed; some toilets do not require this).
- Use the toilet as usual.
- Add more bulking agents if required.
From there, composting toilets differ. Some have a button that operates a heater and a fan to speed up the composting process, while others trigger a sealing feature after each use. Regardless, the waste will begin to break down and eventually become safe for disposal.
Can you use composted waste on plants?
A. As a general rule, human waste should not be used on any type of plant unless it is composted properly. This means that all of the material has broken down and is essentially sanitized by bacteria. After that, composted human waste is safe to use on plants that are not destined for human consumption.
If you are interested in using human waste for growing food, it’s best to add composted waste to an outdoor compost pile and allow it to process for a year. At that point, it is exactly the same as other types of compost and can be used to fertilize plants.
What’s the best composting toilet to buy?
Top composting toilet
Nature’s Head Self-Contained Composting Toilet
What you need to know: This is a good option for more permanent, mounted installations.
What you’ll love: It is high capacity — two people using this full-time will only need to empty it once a month. There is no odor, but it comes with a fan. This is also covered by a five-year warranty.
What you should consider: It’s expensive for only occasional use.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top composting toilet for the money
What you need to know: Choose this for camping, boating and other short outdoor trips.
What you’ll love: It holds nearly 6 gallons total, so use this up to 60 times without emptying. It has a carrying handle and is easy to set up. A water gun uses fresh water for cleaning after you use the toilet (like a portable bidet).
What you should consider: Some users report leaking when moved, so be sure to empty and clean this before packing up.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
What you need to know: This is another option for more permanent, full-time use off-grid.
What you’ll love: Mount this on a wall for stable, regular use. It needs a 12-volt battery but can also run on an AC adapter to power a ventilation fan. It’s easy to install and comes with everything you need to set it up.
What you should consider: It’s a high-quality choice but comes with a hefty price tag.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon

In this age of misinformation and disinformation spreading like wildfire, it feels important that people like you and I have a way to sort through all the bite-sized pieces of information we are constantly getting from different sources, and be able to determine whether this is something worth sharing or if it should be relegated to the “fake news” bin. Google hopes to help in that respect with a slew of new features they are announcing that will be rolling out in Search, such as:
- A notice in search results indicating that said results are new and changing quickly, prompting you to check the source first or come back later to make sure the information is still relevant.
- A new “Highly Cited” label will appear in Top Stories to highlight original reporting, as long as other publishers are linking to it. This feature is launching soon on mobile in English for the U.S. and will roll out globally in the coming weeks.
- A fact-checking tool that you can use to fact-check a specific story, which “collects more than 150,000 fact checks from reputable publishers from around the world.” Additionally, when searching for a disputed topic, fact-check articles may appear in your results that have been vetted by independent fact-checking organizations.
- An “About This Result” tool built right into Search to check the credibility of the source, providing you with a sense of how they describe themselves, what others have said about them, and learn additional context about the topic. This feature will be rolling out soon worldwide for English search results.
Google has also announced that they will be supporting fact-checkers globally through the Google News Initiative and by partnering with the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) in order to provide training and resources to fact-checkers and industry experts around the world. They will also be partnering with and supporting several smaller fact-checking groups worldwide.
These announcements arrive just in time for International Fact-Checking Day on April 2 and reinforce Google’s mission to help dissuade misinformation online by strengthening the fact-checking ecosystem and providing users with the tools to make informed decisions based on facts. We welcome these new additions and hope that they go a long way when it comes to fighting propaganda. | https://chromeunboxed.com/google-search-fact-checking-tools | 2022-04-01T00:46:28Z |

Hong Kong urges calm ahead of mass COVID-19 testing
Hong Kong officials urged residents to remain calm as the city prepares for mass COVID-19 testing as virus cases peak and dozens are dying each day, Reuters reported.
Hong Kong’s chief secretary John Lee wrote in a blog post on Sunday reassured citizens that officials will ensure a steady supply of food under the expanded testing system.
The city’s leader Carrie Lam previously said the city will not have a full lockdown during the mass testing period, Reuters reported.
Hong Kong has also re-implemented other virus restrictions such as banning public gatherings of two or more people, closing most city venues, and banning flights from the U.S. and Great Britain into the city.
Health officials reported 31,008 new infections and 153 virus-related deaths on Sunday, as health experts also said that about 15 percent of the city’s 7.4 million residents have tested positive.
The Hong Kong government’s efforts to maintain come come after mix messages from authorities led to widespread confusion about the city potentially reimposing lockdowns.
Supermarket shelves have been stripped for a week straight as residents stock up on tofu, soy sauce, and frozen vegetables amid the crisis, according to Reuters.
For two years, Hong Kong was a success story at containing COVID-19. However, experts have said the lack of immunity from previous infections factored into the virus quickly spreading when the omicron variant arrives.
The latest surge of infections also has crippled everything from the city’s ports and healthcare system to public transport and postal services, Reuters noted.

Which women’s shapewear is best?
Whether you have a special event coming up or just want to look your best for work, you’ll likely feel even more confident with the right women’s shapewear. Shapewear can help you achieve a perfectly smooth silhouette in dresses, skirts, pants and more.
Women’s shapewear features a snug, stretchy material that streamlines your figure. It’s available in many different styles, with some that slim your entire body, while others target specific areas. If you’re looking for shapewear to smooth your stomach, thighs and hips with light control, the Spanx Lightweight Layer Mid-Thigh Shaping Short is a perfect choice.
What to know before you buy women’s shapewear
Style
Women’s shapewear comes in many types and styles. You should pick one that smooths your silhouette while still feeling comfortable. Depending on the design, they can support your chest and buttock while smoothing your stomach, hips and thighs.
- Shaping bodysuits: These bodysuits are the most widely used shapewear. They resemble a one-piece swimsuit and usually have a closure in the crotch, making it easier to use the bathroom. A bodysuit works well underneath shirts, dresses, skirts, pants and more.
- Shaping slips/dresses: These dresses or slips are like a shaping bodysuit, but they feature a hem that hits around the knees. Shaping slips and dresses are only suitable for use under a dress or skirt.
- Shaping tanks/camisoles: These tops look just like a regular tank top or camisole but support your chest and smooth your stomach. They work well under most tops.
- Shaping underwear: These underwear come in many styles, including briefs. They work under nearly any type of bottom, including tight-fitting pants or skirts.
- Shaping shorts and leggings: These shorts or pants help smooth your stomach, hips and thighs. Some shorts-style shapewear end at the knees, while others go all the way to your calves or ankles.
Sizing
Your shapewear won’t have the right effect you want if you don’t get the right size. Wearing a piece that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and cause an uneven line in your clothing. Consult the shapewear sizing chart to determine your proper size. You’ll likely need to measure key areas of your body to determine your sizing, like your bust, waist and hips.
Material
Shapewear material is usually a combination of nylon and spandex. Pieces with more nylon typically offer the most slimming effect. You can find lightweight pieces with nylon/spandex blends, but you may prefer cotton or microfiber shapewear in hot weather.
What to look for in quality women’s shapewear
Control level
Some women’s shapewear pieces offer more control than others, so their slimming or smoothing effect is more obvious.
The most common control level options are:
- Light control: Light control shapewear doesn’t offer as much compression, so it works well for a general slimming effect. It’s also the most comfortable option if you wear shapewear every day.
- Firm control: Firm control shapewear provides more compression, so it’s ideal for smoothing out specific areas of the body.
- Extra-firm control: Extra-firm control shapewear offers the most compression and has pretty dramatic results. It tends to be more uncomfortable than other shapewear, though, so you may want to save it for special occasions.
Color
Most women’s shapewear comes in white, black and nude options. White and nude shapewear is perfect under light clothing because it won’t show through the material. Nude pieces are usually the most invisible option, though. You can find shapewear in some other colors, too, including pink, blue and red.
How much you can expect to spend on women’s shapewear
Women’s shapewear has a wide price range, costing $6-$100. You can usually find shaping underwear and tanks or camisoles for $6-$20, while shaping bodysuits, slips and dresses can cost $20-$60. For extra-firm control or full-body pieces, you will likely pay $60-$100.
Women’s shapewear FAQ
Is shapewear meant for everyday wear?
A. Some people like to wear light control shapewear every day to help them feel more confident in their clothing. If your shapewear is the correct size, you can wear it every day. However, firm- and extra-firm pieces may not be comfortable enough to wear daily.
What’s the best way to clean shapewear?
A. It depends on your shapewear’s materials, so always consult the care label to determine how to wash it. Most pieces require hand-washing and air-drying, but you may find some machine-washable shapewear.

Oceanside Safety Plan Update
The Oceanside Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee has heard several safety proposals to replace the current safety model implemented in 2009.
OCEANSIDE- Oceanside Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee met on March 21 to hear a revised version of the harbor’s proposed safety plan. After two hours, they ultimately voted to send staff back to the board until the committee’s June meeting.
The current safety plan is a police-based model implemented in 2009. It has eight officers and one sergeant providing 24-hour coverage of the harbor.
The harbor unit is charged with land-based policing services, water rescues, and boating safety enforcement. Lifeguards are provided for the harbor’s beaches and are part of the Fire Department’s Lifeguard Division. This plan costs the harbor $2,500,000 annually for police services and $220,00 for lifeguard services. Police costs are expected to increase to $2,878,181 for 2022/2023.
In 2020, staff assembled an informal working group of harbor stakeholders, which met six times to discuss the current safety model and develop options for a new plan. As a result, three options were presented to the committee on Nov. 15, 2021.
– Shift harbor public safety duties to an expanded and reorganized lifeguard unit.
– Reestablish a harbor department and revert back to a previous safety model, which puts the harbor department in charge of safety needs.
– Create a Coastal firefighter/paramedic squad which is a modified lifeguard model.
Staff was sent back with an emphasis on the first lifeguard-based model, which would add ten new personnel, one supervising lifeguard lieutenant, three lifeguard sergeants, three beach lifeguards, and three fire captains providing coverage in 24-hour shifts.
Staff would be in charge of boat operations, rescue swimmer, fire suppression, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response, and vessel, dock, and facility inspections.
The proposed plan would cost the harbor $2,446,385 in 22/23, saving $340,796 annually.
However, with the new plan, there are also one-time costs that will be added to the original estimate. For example, with staff planning to work in 24-hour shifts, there is an estimated $900,000 cost for a living space.
There are concerns from members of the committee about the cost of implementing the new plan with an upcoming revitalization of the harbor, which is over 65 years old, on the horizon.
Liz Rhea, Chair for the Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee, also voiced concerns over the recent formation of a new union for lifeguards and the new contracts’ effect on the budget.
One meeting attendee voiced concerns that the new plan does not have a police unit and would rely on the lifeguard unit to deal with situations they are not trained for.
In the proposed plan, the newly created unit would conduct harbor patrols between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every day. Police would not have a permeant presence in the harbor but would expand their beach patrol to cover the harbor, and they would be available for emergency calls.
The committee voted to send staff back to the drawing board to look at a plan that doesn’t involve fire captains, changes the 24-hour shift to an 8-hour shift, and looks for accommodations in an existing building or using the new firehouse that is set to be built in the harbor.
“We have had a good working relationship with this whole thing, and I hope to keep this working relationship going that we can tweak this one or come up with a proposal or something,” said Liz Rhea.
Staff is set to return at the June 11 meeting. | https://www.thelog.com/news-departments/oceanside-safety-plan-update/ | 2022-04-01T00:46:32Z |
