Two acquitted and jury hung on two more in Whitmer kidnap plot
Two of four men were acquitted on Friday in a conspiracy to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, motivated by fury at the Democrat’s tough Covid-19 restrictions early in the pandemic.
The jury’s verdicts against Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta were read in the federal court in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the case presided over by US District Judge Robert Jonker.
Jurors said they could not agree on verdicts again Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. Prosecutors described Fox as a ringleader of an anti-government group.
Fox, Croft and Harris faced additional charges. The two most serious charges, kidnapping conspiracy and conspiracy to use explosives, both carry potential life sentences.
Defence attorneys portrayed their clients as credulous weekend warriors prone to big, wild talk, who were often stoned. They said FBI undercover agents and informants tricked and cajoled the men into agreeing to a conspiracy.
To counter that entrapment claim, prosecutors entered evidence that the men discussed abducting Ms Whitmer before the FBI sting began. They went way beyond talk, including scouting Ms Whitmer’s summer home and testing explosives, prosecutors told jurors.
Croft is from Delaware while the others are from Michigan.
Earlier on Friday, US District Judge Robert Jonker acknowledged the struggle of deliberations. Decisions to convict or acquit must be unanimous.
“I know it’s tough. We all know it’s tough,” Mr Jonker told the jury.
“It’s important to reach unanimity if you can. If you just can’t see it, then that’s what we need to hear eventually as your final answer,” Mr Jonker said.
Deliberations resumed earlier on Friday with a court employee handing over a large plastic bag containing pennies, known as exhibit 291. The pennies were requested before jurors went home on Thursday.
Pennies taped to a commercial-grade firework were intended to act like shrapnel, investigators said.
According to evidence, a homemade explosive was detonated during training in September 2020, about a month before the men were arrested.
In his closing argument on April 1, Assistant US Attorney Nils Kessler said Croft wanted to test the explosive as a possible weapon to use against Ms Whitmer’s security team.
He quoted him as saying the pennies would be so hot they could go “right through your skin”.
Prosecutors offered testimony from undercover agents, a crucial informant and two men who pleaded guilty to the plot. Jurors also read and heard secretly recorded conversations, violent social media posts and chat messages.
Prosecutors said the group was steeped in anti-government extremism and angry over Whitmer’s Covid-19 restrictions.
Ms Whitmer, a Democrat, rarely talks publicly about the plot, though she referred to “surprises” during her term that seemed like “something out of fiction” when she filed for re-election on March 17.
She has blamed former president Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case.

North Macedonia Women 0-10 England Women: Beth Mead's FOUR-goal haul and Ella Toone's hat-trick helps Sarina Wiegman's side thrash the hosts in World Cup qualifier
- England Women beat North Macedonia Women in a 10-0 rout on Friday evening
- Beth Mead scored a magnificent four and Ella Toone scored a hat-trick in Skopje
- Relentless Ellen White also closed in on Wayne Rooney's all-time scoring record
- This was another efficient, ruthless performance from Sarina Wiegman's team
England Women hit 10 past North Macedonia as they remained on course to seal their place at the 2023 World Cup.
It was always going to be a case of just how many England would score and, in reality, it could have been more given they had 36 shots with 16 on target.
The Lionesses will seal their place in Australia and New Zealand if they avoid defeat against Northern Ireland and Austria, two teams they will also face at the Euros this summer, in their next two qualifiers.
Beth Mead (c) scored four as England Women beat North Macedonia Women 10-0 on Friday
Ella Toone (right) bagged a hat-trick in the 10-0 mauling after two quick-fire goals
Four of England's 10 goals in Skopje were scored by Beth Mead while Ella Toone grabbed her second international hat-trick.
Ellen White also closed in on Wayne Rooney's all-time scoring record as she notched her 50th for the Lionesses. She is now just three behind the Manchester United legend.
This was another efficient and ruthless performance from Wiegman's team, who have now scored 63 goals in qualifying without conceding.
They were ahead in under five minutes as Mead got on the end of Lauren Hemp's cross to side-foot into the back of the net.
It was another efficient, ruthless performance from manager Sarina Wiegman's team in Skopje
Ellen White closed in on Wayne Rooney 's all-time scoring record with her 50th England goal
Ellen White began the evening on 49 England goals, four short of Wayne Rooney's all-time record of 53 and she had a great chance to close the gap on that total in the 10th minute. Georgia Stanway's shot fell at the feet of the forward but she could only divert an effort just wide of the post.
But the Lionesses soon doubled their lead as Mead grabbed her second with a shot-cum-cross that looped over Viktorija Panchurova in the North Macedonia goal.
White went close again when she headed Demi Stokes' cross on to the bar before Hemp then flashed a shot just wide. England didn't have to wait much longer for a third as Ella Toone drove forward and fired into the bottom left corner from just outside the box.
Mead then saw a shot tipped over the bar before White finally got her goal as she headed Toone's inviting cross into the top right corner. England managed another before half-time as Stanway side-footed Hemp's cut-back into the bottom right corner.
It took Mead just two minutes of the second half to score her third goal followed swiftly by a fourth
Two quick-fire goals from Toone brought up a hat-trick as England reached double figures
It took Mead just two minutes of the second half to complete her hat-trick, her third for her country. Hemp's cross was deflected into the winger's path and she placed a composed finish into the bottom left corner.
Six minutes later, Mead had her fourth. Hemp's shot was well saved by Panchurova but she could only push the ball straight out to Mead, who tapped home the rebound. Hemp was at the heart of things again as England got their eighth, her cross picking out Stanway, who turned and fired into the bottom left corner.
Two quick-fire goals from Toone brought up another hat-trick as England reached double figures for the third time under Wiegman. The first was a brilliant half-volley from Mead's cross before Nikita Parris teed the midfielder up for another impressive finish from inside the box.
Austria's 3-0 victory over Northern Ireland means England will not be able to seal qualification at Windsor Park next Tuesday but it is only a matter of time before their place at next year's tournament is confirmed.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Dairy farmers can seek reimbursement from the federal government for cows contaminated by chemicals that have leached into the groundwater around an Air Force base in eastern New Mexico.
U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján on Friday commended a recent rule change by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that created a pathway for farmers to receive payments through the Dairy Indemnity Payment Program. Previously, farmers were able to get payments for lost milk production but could not get paid for their cows.
Luján said in a statement that New Mexico farmers and ranchers are critical contributors to the state's economy and that many producers have been brought to the verge of bankruptcy due to inaction and because programs that were designed to provide a safety were not working.
“Beyond the moral imperative of the federal government providing just compensation, this announcement is part of a broader effort to support the dairy industry and rural communities,” he said.
At one dairy near Cannon, Luján's office said an estimated 5,200 cows were impacted and about 2,000 of the animals have died.
New Mexico sued the Air Force in 2019 over PFAS contamination at Cannon and at Holloman Air Force Base in southern New Mexico. The state argued that the federal government had a responsibility to clean up plumes of toxic chemicals left behind by past military firefighting activities.
The synthetic chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances also are used in products ranging from cookware to carpets and have been increasingly showing up in drinking water systems, wells and food. They have been associated with health problems including cancer and reduced birth weight.
They often are referred to as “forever chemicals” because they do not easily degrade and can remain in the body for years.
Last year, the EPA announced a new strategy to regulate them.
In New Mexico, the Air Force began installing monitoring wells in March to determine the extent of “forever chemicals” in and around Cannon, which is located near the community of Clovis. The locations for the wells were determined following an extensive effort that involved the collection of soil and groundwater samples.
Air Force officials said the data collected from the wells will help determine potential future full-scale response efforts.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — A group of Democrats says it’s time the Supreme Court adopts new ethics standards.
“The highest court should not have the lowest standards,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.)
Currently, Supreme Court justices aren’t required to follow the ethics rules given to other federal judges. Whitehouse’s bill would change that.
“It could not be more timely, now that we have a captured supreme court that needs that extra layer of accountability,” Whitehouse said.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.) say recent revelations about the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas demonstrate why this is so important.
“We’ve learned that justice Clarence Thomas ruled on a case concerning the insurrection that his wife participated in and helped plan,” Jones said.
“The public is watching the United States Supreme Court to see whether or not Justice Thomas will recuse himself,” Blumenthal added.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) isn’t ready to support the bill but agrees more transparency is needed.
“I think a full disclosure of their financial positions much like we do here, should be able to satisfy that,” Capito said.
But some Republicans think Democrats are not focusing on the right concerns.
“They can’t even make sure that that person answers questions on how she would define a woman or when life begins,” Rep. Fred Keller (R-Penn.)
Keller believes Democrats are prioritizing their self-interests.
“What they’re doing is quite frankly a political stunt, rather than good government,” Keller said.
If passed, all nine justices are required to follow these new standards.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia police said Friday a suspect who allegedly shot three civilians before barricading himself in a house and shooting a transit police officer during a standoff earlier in the week was likely killed by police gunfire.
Police identified the shooter as 18-year-old Zyhiem Hartman, saying the medical examiner's office had determined he died from police gunfire after being struck twice, including in the head. A Philadelphia police spokesman had said Wednesday night after the standoff that they believed the suspect may have shot himself.
Police said in a news release Friday that they believe Hartman had a physical argument with a man, and when that man walked away, Hartman fired shots at him. The man later walked into the hospital with two gunshot wounds to the neck. Police say during that altercation Hartman also struck two women in the hip and buttocks.
Two Philadelphia police officers on patrol heard those gunshots around 7 p.m. Wednesday and saw Hartman standing with a gun shortly after. Police say he ran, the officers chased him and eventually Hartman ran into a house and forced his way into an upstairs apartment. Hartman broke out two windows in that apartment and fired at officers from the second floor.
During that exchange of gunfire with officers, police said Hartman shot Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority Police Officer Ervis Onuzi in the stomach. Police said Friday that Onuzi is in critical but stable condition recovering from surgery.
Officers entered the building when SWAT equipment showed the man appeared to be unconscious near a second-floor window, police said. Officers found Hartman dead from a gunshot wound. Police recovered what authorities call a ghost gun— an unregistered, homemade gun without a serial number— near Hartman.
Police said seven officers fired shots during the exchange, but did not release their names Friday.

India approves ‘precaution’ doses of COVID-19 vaccine for all over 18
NEW DELHI April 08, 2022 15:36 ISTIt will be same as previous doses: Union Health Ministry
The Union Health Ministry on Friday announced that the precautionary or third dose of COVID-19 vaccine would be made available to the 18+ population at private vaccination centres. It would be the same as the previous doses.
The administration of this dose would begin on April 10. All those who have completed nine months after the administration of the second dose would be eligible, it stated.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya termed the extension of the vaccination drive an “extra layer of safety”.
1,109 new infections
The decision comes even as India logged 1,109 new coronavirus infections taking the total tally of COVID-19 cases to 4,30,33,067,while the active cases dipped to 11,492, according to the Health Ministry data updated on Friday.
Cases had dipped to triple digits but there’s been an uptick in some States. Kerala has reported 2,321 cases in the last week, accounting for nearly 30% of the country’s new cases along with an increase in positivity (number of confirmed positives relative to tests) from 13.45% to 15.53%. This has prompted the Health Ministry to write to the State’s Health Secretary on Friday to monitor clusters of new cases and required containment efforts for curbing infections, increase testing and undertake required steps in areas with high positivity and step genome sequencing of samples.
This week, reports emerged from Maharashtra of the likely detection of the XE variant, a highly infectious variant of the coronavirus that is a genetic offshoot of the BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron variants. Though not associated with increased disease severity, it has been linked to a spike in infectivity in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe. However, Union Health Ministry officials and Maharashtra State officials have differed on whether it was indeed an XE variant.
As per the Health Ministry, about 96% of all 15+ population in the country have received at least one vaccine dose, while about 83% of 15+ population had received both the doses. Also, more than 2.2 crore precaution doses have been administered to healthcare and frontline workers and 60+ population group.
The Ministry maintained that 45% of those in the 12 to 14 age group have received the first dose. “The ongoing free vaccination programme through Government Vaccination Centres for first and second dose to the eligible population as well as precaution dose to healthcare workers, frontline workers and 60+ population would continue and would be accelerated.”
In June last year, the Central government capped the prices of vaccines to be sold at private hospitals. With a ceiling of ₹150 that hospitals can charge a dose as ‘service charge’ and a GST of 5%, the maximum price chargeable for Covishield is ₹780, Covaxin, ₹1,410 and Sputnik V ₹1,145, the Ministry had said in an order.

Transgender kids and their parents say they feel attacked by a wave of Republican-sponsored legislation and policies aimed at trans youth.
Bills have been introduced to ban gender-affirming care and block transgender children from using school restrooms or playing on sports teams that don't match their sex at birth. Proponents say the measures are about protecting children and preserving the integrity of girls' sports.
Opponents argue that they target already vulnerable children for the sake of scoring political points.
Ninth grader Harleigh Walker, 15, said “Honestly, I’m a little scared now,” she said Thursday after learning the bill had passed. ”But we’re still going to fight no matter what.”
Alabama is among the states with a Republican-controlled legislature advancing these bills.
Cathryn Oakley, state legislative director and senior counsel for the Human Rights Campaign said, “In one breathtakingly cruel and cowardly day, the Alabama legislature passed the single most anti-transgender legislative package in history.”

WASHINGTON — As European health officials investigate a growing outbreak of salmonella that appears to be linked to chocolate surprise eggs, some Kinder chocolate products have now also been recalled in the United States.
The U.S. recall is limited to just the Kinder Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment and Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats basket sold at three retailers, according to Ferrero North America. The recalled Happy Moments product was sold at BJ's Wholesale Club stores and Costco stores in the Bay Area and Northern Nevada. The recalled treats baskets were only sold at 14 Big Y Supermarket locations in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The company has stressed that no other Kinder or Ferrero products sold in the U.S. are impacted by the voluntary recall.
The company explained that these specific products are being recalled as a precaution due to reported salmonella cases linked to products sold in Europe that were manufactured in the same facility in Belgium.
On Wednesday, European health officials said they are investigating a “rapidly evolving” outbreak of salmonella in 134 children that appears to be linked to chocolate Easter eggs that normally contain a surprise toy inside. Salmonella typically causes symptoms including diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps.
As of Friday, there have been no confirmed salmonella cases in the U.S., Ferrero said.
Over in Europe, specific batches of Kinder chocolate products have been recalled in Denmark, Finland, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the U.K, Sweden and Norway.
“The presence of salmonella in chocolate is particularly critical, as the high fat content of the chocolate will be a protective factor for salmonella bacteria when passing through the stomach acid,” the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said in a statement. It “is especially critical when it comes to chocolate products marketed directly to children.”
Those in the U.S. who have bought the recalled products should contact the Ferrero customer service line at 1-800-688-3552 or via https://www.ferreronorthamerica.com/contact-US-residents for a replacement.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A suspect arrested in connection with last weekend’s mass shooting outside bars near the California state Capitol served less than half his 10-year sentence because of voter-approved changes to state law that lessened the punishment for his felony convictions and provided a chance for earlier release.
Smiley Allen Martin was freed in February after serving time for punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt, according to court and prison records. Those count as nonviolent offenses under California law, which considersonly about two dozen crimes to be violent felonies — things like murder, rape, arson and kidnapping.
Martin, 27, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun. He is among the 12 people wounded during Sunday’s shooting, which killed six others. Police say the violence was a shootout between rival gangs in which at least five people fired weapons, including Martin’s brother, Dandrae Martin, who also was arrested.
Smiley Martin typically would have remained behind bars until at least May after serving a minimum of half his time for his previous arrest in 2017, but prison officials evidently used a very expansive approach to applying time credits to his sentence, said Gregory Totten, chief executive officer of the California District Attorneys Association and a former Ventura County district attorney.
“They’ve been given very broad authority to early release folks and to give them additional credit and all kinds of considerations for purposes of reducing the length of sentence that somebody serves,” Totten said.
Corrections officials did not dispute that Martin was among thousands of inmates receiving additional credits that sped up his release under state law. But they said their policy prohibits disclosing what credits Martin received.
They cited credits through Proposition 57, the 2016 ballot measure that aimed to give most felons a chance at earlier release. Credits were also broadly authorized to lower the prison population during the pandemic.
Proposition 57 credits include good behavior, though corrections officials would not release Martin’s disciplinary report. Good conduct credit is supposed to be reserved for inmates who follow all the rules and complete their assigned duties.
The state “has implemented various credit-earning opportunities to incentivize good behavior and program participation for incarcerated individuals, including those created in furtherance of Proposition 57— which was overwhelmingly approved by voters,” corrections spokesperson Vicky Waters said in a statement.
Proponents, including former Gov. Jerry Brown, who pushed for Proposition 57, say it’s important to give inmates a second chance. The opportunity for earlier release encourages inmates to participate in education and other rehabilitative programs, while helping to reduce mass incarceration.
“The most recent reforms in California are seeking to change a culture that has been churning out recidivism problems for generations,” said Will Matthews, spokesperson for Californians for Safety and Justice, which backed the changes. “The question we need to be asking ourselves is, how are we engaging in behavior change?”
Under Proposition 57, there are credits for completing rehabilitative or educational programs, self-help and volunteer public service activities, earning a high school diploma or higher education degree and performing a heroic act. Officials added credits during the coronavirus pandemic, including 12 weeks of credit that applied to most inmates.
Martin was denied parole in May 2021 under California’s process for nonviolent offenders to get earlier parole, after a letter from the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors objected based on his lengthy criminal record and asserted Martin “clearly has little regard for human life and the law.”
Six months after he turned 18, Martin was caught in January 2013 with an assault rifle and two fully loaded 25-bullet magazines, prosecutors said. Months later, he pushed aside a Walmart clerk to steal computers worth $2,800, they said. In 2016, he was arrested as a parolee at large. And less than six months after that was the assault that sent him back to prison.
It’s not clear if Martin has an attorney who can comment on his behalf.
Martin pleaded no contest and was sent to prison on charges of corporal injury and assault likely to cause great bodily injury in January 2018 under a plea deal in which charges of kidnapping — considered a violent felony — and intimidating a witness or victim were dismissed.
The sentencing judge awarded Martin 508 days of credits for time he spent in Sacramento County jail before his conviction, based on a California law that allows judges to double the actual time in jail, which in Martin’s case was 254 days.
Martin also had “a variety of additional post-sentencing credits,” which corrections department spokesperson Dana Simas said were awarded for time served while awaiting transfer to state prison from county jail.
Before Proposition 57, he would have qualified for 20% “good time” credits — meaning he could reduce his time served by one-fifth — but corrections officials used their authority under the ballot measure to bump those to 50%. Pending regulations opposed by most of the state’s district attorneys would further increase good time credits to two-thirds of a sentence for such repeat offenders.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, a progressive Democrat who formerly led the state Senate, was among those upset when he learned of Martin’s record.
“If people have a history of committing violent acts, and they have not shown a propensity or willingness to change, I don’t think they should be out on the streets,” he said at an event where officials requested more than $3 billion from the state to expand crime prevention programs.
Republican state Sen. Jim Nielsen, who once headed the state parole board, said “good time” credits are generally awarded automatically, without inmates having to do anything to earn them.
“It gives them enormous opportunity to free up beds,” said Nielsen, an opponent of earlier releases.
The state has relied on such efforts, particularly its powers under Proposition 57, to keep the prison population below the level required by a panel of federal judges who ruled that inmate crowding had led to unconstitutionally poor conditions.
Martin was released to the supervision of the Sacramento County Probation Department in February. County probation officials wouldn’t provide the terms, saying their records are not public documents.
Without discussing Martin’s case, Karen Pank, executive director of the Chief Probation Officers of California, said generally someone coming out of prison on Post Release Community Supervision with an extensive and violent criminal history would likely have been treated on a “high-risk” caseload.
That would subject him to more intensive supervision, including a requirement that he check in with his probation officer more frequently and in person, although individualized determinations on risks and needs would be made and treatment and services would continue to be offered.
Hours before Sunday’s shootout, Martin posted a live Facebook video of himself brandishing a handgun, a law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to public discuss details of the shooting investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Pank said if there is evidence of a felon in possession of a firearm, that can be grounds for a violation, which may result in time in jail. However, it’s unlikely anyone from law enforcement could have acted in time even if they had seen the video.
“The big if is would they have known about it,” said Totten. But in this case, “it didn’t matter — it was so close to the time” of the shooting.

DECATUR — Marcus D. Boykin was sentenced to 50 years in prison Friday for trying to shoot to death a Decatur police officer.
The Macon County Circuit Court sentence means that the 40-year-old defendant will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
A Macon County jury found Boykin guilty in February of the attempted murder of Officer Chris Snyder.
The jurors had been told how Boykin drove up to Snyder's parked squad car on the night of June 18 and filed a single shot at him from almost point blank range.
Decatur Police Chief, Shane Brandel, was present for Friday's sentencing hearing and said the jury had done its job and he "respected" the sentencing decision of the court.
Joseph Luckee Williams, facing charges he tried to murder a Decatur cop with a machine gun, failed in a bid Thursday to have key evidence against him excluded.

DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: The sting in Covid's tail... it can leave you with type 2 DIABETES
Just when you thought it was safe to ditch the mask, Covid has come roaring back.
But though recent research suggests rates are high in the over-55s (and lots of my friends, who escaped previous waves, are coming down with it), there are also encouraging signs, at least here in the UK, that the worst is over and this coronavirus is entering the phase where it’s something we can learn to live with.
But successive waves of Covid-19 have left many health problems in their wake. Among them is long Covid, which is estimated to affect at least 1.3 million Britons.
And new research suggests that a lot of those with symptoms of long Covid may also have undiagnosed type 2 diabetes, which shares a symptom typical of long Covid: fatigue.
The infection is known to overstimulate the immune system, which in turn can lead to chronic inflammation — one theory is that this could in turn tip people who currently have pre-diabetes (raised blood sugar) into full blown diabetes
This is common in people who develop type 2 diabetes because their cells lose the ability to absorb glucose (sugar) from their blood. We have known for a while that people with type 2 diabetes are more vulnerable to becoming sick and dying if they develop Covid.
But studies carried out in the U.S. and Germany have shown that getting the infection may also trigger type 2 diabetes, particularly (though not exclusively) in people who are overweight or obese.
The German study, based on the health records of nearly nine million people, showed that those who’d had Covid, even mildly, had a 28 per cent greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes over the following months than a matched group who’d had some other form of respiratory infection.
The findings from the U.S. study were even more striking. Researchers looked at the health records of nearly 200,000 Americans and found that people who’d had Covid were 40 per cent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who hadn’t been infected — and three times more likely to become diabetic if they had ended up in hospital with Covid.
This was no passing blip because the patients continued to have dangerously raised blood sugar levels more than a year later.
Studies carried out in the U.S. and Germany have shown that getting the infection may also trigger type 2 diabetes, particularly (though not exclusively) in people who are overweight or obese. A patient is seen being brought into hospital with coronavirus in January 2021
Being significantly overweight doubled the risk of diabetes post Covid, this study showed.
So what’s going on? The infection is known to overstimulate the immune system, which in turn can lead to chronic inflammation — one theory is that this could in turn tip people who currently have pre-diabetes (raised blood sugar) into full blown diabetes.
These new findings are bad news, not just for those who are affected, but also for the NHS, which is already struggling to cope with the current workload. The good news, however, is that research carried out over the past few years, much of it by Professor Roy Taylor of Newcastle University, has shown that many people who develop type 2 diabetes can get their blood sugar levels back to normal, without drugs, by losing weight, fast. And there’s no reason to believe cases triggered by Covid would be any different. Losing weight will also help if you have type 2 diabetes yet aren’t overweight (which is the case for about 10 per cent of patients).
This was confirmed last week in another study by Professor Taylor and his team, involving 20 people with type 2 diabetes but an average body mass index of 24.8 (i.e. in the ‘healthy’ range).
The patients went on an 800-calorie-a-day rapid weight-loss diet until they lost around 10 per cent of their initial body weight.
Amazingly, within a few weeks of starting, half of them had got their blood sugar levels back into the normal range despite them not being on medication — and within 12 months of starting the study 70 per cent were in remission, with their blood sugar levels healthy.
The study also showed that the rapid weight-loss diet led to impressive falls in body fat levels, particularly in the pancreas and liver, as well as big improvements in blood pressure. And, perhaps even more surprisingly, the patients said they didn’t have any real difficulties keeping the weight off in the 12 months.
Professor Taylor told me that in these patients ‘losing only around 6kg in weight was enough to see the diabetes disappear’.
He also says the main reason people develop type 2 is because they’ve exceeded their ‘personal fat threshold’, which varies from one person to another, and which would explain why you can still develop it with a BMI below 25.
So if you’ve had Covid and now have symptoms such as fatigue or feeling very thirsty and urinating more frequently, then you might want to get your blood sugar levels checked out by your GP. Or you can buy a blood sugar testing kit online or from a pharmacy.
Most people who get Covid will not develop type 2 diabetes, but if you’re over 40, have a close relative (such as a parent or sibling) with it, and are significantly overweight, then you are at higher risk.
The sooner you find out your blood sugar levels are raised, the sooner you can take action.
I take statins to prevent heart disease, but increasingly there’s evidence they have other benefits. The most recent study to catch my eye, from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, found people taking statins had, on average, a 16 per cent lower risk of developing parkinsonism (conditions such as tremors, slowed movement and stiffness) over a six-year period.
Another reason for me to continue popping those pills.
Scales fall from our eyes
The next time someone calls you fish face, don’t be offended. Our remote ancestors evolved in the seas and signs of this can be found when you look in the mirror, in the groove on your top lip (the philtrum).
Ultrasound studies of human embryos show that our eyes start out on the sides of our head, like a fish, before moving to the front.
Our top lip and jaw started life as gill-like structures on the neck, with our nostrils originally on the top of the head, before moving downwards.
The point where all these different bits met and fused together, in your mother’s womb, is your philtrum.
New research also shows we can thank a distant, sea-based ancestor for our hearing. Investigators discovered that a gene, called pou-iv, which gives sea anemones a sense of touch, also enables us to hear.
It turns out that sea anemones have hairs on their tentacles which look similar to the hairs in our inner ear, which our bodies use to translate vibrations into sound.
The sea anemone uses these hairs to sense the movements of their prey. So it seems that a remote ancestor of ours, the sea anemone, developed these hairs hundreds of millions of years ago, but we now use them for different purposes. A great example of evolution recycling a good idea.

The painting that keeps men in line
I was recently passing through Schiphol airport in Amsterdam where I spotted the image of a fly painted inside the urinal bowls in the men’s loo. The thinking behind this is that it provides a ‘target’ and so reduces spillage. Since the painted flies were introduced at the airport in 1999, they have cut cleaning costs by around 80 per cent.
This is a particularly famous example of ‘nudge theory’, where you try to alter people’s behaviour, to nudge them, without them necessarily realising that they are being nudged.
It’s also used in supermarkets, where chocolates and other unhealthy treats are piled up at the end of aisles or near the check out.
I was recently passing through Schiphol airport in Amsterdam where I spotted the image of a fly painted inside the urinal bowls in the men’s loo. The thinking behind this is that it provides a ‘target’ and so reduces spillage
This is how supermarkets nudge us into buying lots of highly profitable, yet extremely unhealthy goodies. But people can also be nudged into making healthier choices. I was once part of a TV experiment where they put a life-size cut-out of me holding out a handful of veg and smiling, outside a supermarket entrance. This led to a 15 per cent increase in sales of fruit and veg.
Putting arrows on the floor pointing towards the stairs has been used to nudge people into not using the lift — one study found this increased stair use by 19 per cent.
Nudge theory has also been applied to organ transplants. While people are often willing to donate their organs, they rarely got round to filling in a donor card — that’s why these days you have to opt out of the donor scheme, rather than opt in.
Nudge theory is so important I felt compelled to take a picture of the Schiphol urinals to post on Instagram.
Not surprisingly, I got some odd looks!

Musk says Tesla will build vehicle designed to be a robotaxi
AUSTIN, Texas - Tesla will build a vehicle dedicated for use as a robotaxi, and it will start making three new vehicles next year, CEO Elon Musk told fans at a party celebrating the opening of a Texas factory.
Musk didn't give details of the robotaxi other than to say it will "look quite futuristic." He also said Tesla will start building the Cybertruck pickup at its new factory near Austin, Texas, next year. After that, it will start building a new Roadster and an electric semi, he said.
He made his remarks Thursday night at the "Cyber Rodeo at Giga Texas," an invitation-only party for thousands of guests at Tesla’s new billion-dollar-plus factory.
As many as 15,000 people were expected to attend the private event hosted to mark the opening of the new factory in Travis County that also serves as the company’s new headquarters following its move from California.
RELATED: Tesla's Gigafactory grand opening brings in 15,000 people, plus more hoping to get in
Musk said at the Thursday night event streamed live on YouTube that Tesla was delivering the first Model Y small SUVs built at the new factory, which he said can make a half million of the SUVs per year.

Tesla and Musk have often missed targets to start producing vehicles. In 2019, he promised a fleet of autonomous robotaxis would be on the road the following year, but the company's "Full Self-Driving" software is still being tested by selected Tesla owners on public roads.
The company is the largest maker of electric vehicles in the U.S. and the world.
Musk said this year will be about scaling up the Austin factory as well as a new one in Germany. He also said the company may start building a robot in 2023. "Next year there's going to be a massive wave of new products," he told the crowd Thursday night.
A county-issued permit said the event included interactive tours, food, alcohol and live entertainment. But the event was off-limits to the general public and the news media.

Musk has said the Austin-area plant will employ up to 10,000 workers.

WASHINGTON — For about an hour on Friday, everything went the Biden administration’s way.
Under bright blue skies dotted with fluffy white clouds and temperate April weather, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris triumphantly introduced Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the newly confirmed incoming Supreme Court justice, to a jubilant crowd of supporters.
The celebratory event marked a moment of history, as the first Black woman ever to serve on the nation’s highest court stood onstage in front of the White House with the first Black woman ever to be vice president.
“It was a happy day, I say, ‘Oh happy day,’” said Oakland Rep. Barbara Lee, who was in the audience with other Congressional Black Caucus members for the occasion. “We need some of those right now.”
But the festivities and elbow-to-elbow crowd could only push out of mind for so long the realities facing the White House, as COVID-19 cases crept perilously close to Biden and Harris this week and Congress left town without fulfilling Biden’s desperate pleas for more funding to address the ongoing pandemic.
In fact, as reporters waited on the South Lawn before the event, an email arrived from a White House official notifying them that Harris had tested negative for COVID-19 that day, a stark reminder that she had been in close contact earlier in the week with a top staffer who subsequently tested positive. Reporters doing live shots for television were relaying the latest cases in the government ranks. Less than half an hour after the event ended, the White House notified reporters that Biden had also tested negative.
Although cases in Washington remain low overall, a cluster of positive tests this week have hit some of the nation’s top officials, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, on Thursday. She had mingled unmasked with Biden and Harris at White House events days before. Hours after Harris presided over the historic Senate vote on Jackson’s confirmation on Thursday afternoon, two senators — including one she interacted with on the Senate floor — announced they were also positive. In addition to a dozen lawmakers, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo also announced positive tests this week.
The high-profile cases come at the same moment Biden is trying to convince a pandemic-weary nation that it can emerge from the cloud of the coronavirus. Biden only recently stopped wearing a mask and distancing himself at public events, mingling unmasked with large crowds most days this week. Masks were rare at the South Lawn event.
Lee was one of the few lawmakers wearing one, which she said she does because she cares for her 101-year-old aunt when she’s home in California. But she credited the administration with developing vaccines and treatments for COVID and said everyone can make their own protective choices.
“COVID is here, and in many respects is here to stay, and we have to learn how to manage it,” Lee said. “That’s what’s taking part, is learning how to manage it.”
At the White House press briefing later that afternoon, press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the administration is comfortable with Biden’s safety protocols and accepts the risk.
“Like anyone else, the president may at some point test positive for COVID,” Psaki said, noting Biden has been vaccinated and received two booster shots as of last week. “Because of all the steps we’ve taken … his doctors have assessed that these are risks that can be taken. We risk assess just like everybody out in the country.”
The event Friday brought to mind another outdoor White House celebration for a Supreme Court justice, when former President Donald Trump gathered supporters in the Rose Garden and later indoors in September 2020 to announce his nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, now a justice. That ended up being a superspreading event, after which Trump himself and several allies tested positive. Trump went on to lose the election to Biden, who pledged to stamp out COVID.
In some respects, much is different in the year and a half since, including abundant vaccines and treatments for COVID. Even the elderly politicians catching the virus have generally experienced mild symptoms thanks to the vaccine, while Trump was briefly hospitalized for it. But in other respects, the specter of the pandemic looming at both Supreme Court celebrations is a reminder of how COVID remains a central part of Americans’ lives two years after it began.
Even as Biden encourages Americans that they can emerge from the pandemic, he is also sounding the alarm to Congress that without billions in new funds, the government will no longer be able to pay for vaccinations, tests and treatments for all Americans to receive them for free. But Congress has stalemated over providing the funds, and lawmakers left town for a two-week recess on Thursday after failing to advance a $10 billion compromise package. That negotiated deal was scuttled by conservatives’ and some moderate Democrats’ demand to attach a provision that would keep in place a policy effectively closing the border to migrants, under the auspices of the public health emergency.
But if that was on the minds of attendees on Friday, they didn’t show it, as they celebrated Jackson’s ascension to the highest court, effective once Justice Stephen Breyer retires at the end of the court term.
“It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States,” Jackson said. “But we’ve made it. We’ve made it, all of us.”
She went on to quote Maya Angelou’s poem “Still I Rise,” which speaks of the perseverance of Black women.
"As I take on this new role, I strongly believe that this is a moment in which all Americans can take great pride,” she continued. “We have come a long way toward perfecting our union. In my family, it took just one generation to go from segregation to the Supreme Court of the United States."

The $6m BLM mansion: After the sickening George Floyd murder, $90m poured into Black Lives Matters coffers in just one year. Now, very awkward questions are being asked about how it's been spent - including on this luxurious Californian home
The protests swept the world during the darkest days of 2020's lockdown. They were summed up in a three-word slogan — Black Lives Matter — that defied anyone to contradict it.
Hundreds of thousands of people, sickened by video footage showing a white police officer squeezing the life out of a black American by kneeling on his neck, took to the streets in cities from New York to London and Cape Town to protest police violence against black people.
Corporations, celebrities and the public poured in millions of dollars to the cause. What they were funding wasn't always clear. Warnings that the BLM movement's leadership intended to abolish the police and overthrow capitalism were ignored in the stampede to look worthy.
Property photos show the luxurious seven-bedroom, 6,500-square foot $6million Los Angeles mansion reportedly purchased with Black Lives Matter donations
The mansion comes complete with a sound stage (pictured) and mini filming studio. According to the property listing, the mansion's guests have included Hollywood royalty such as Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart
The Studio City home - which sits on a three-quarter-acre lot - boasts more than half-dozen bedrooms and bathrooms, a 'butler's pantry' in the kitchen (pictured) as well as multiple fireplaces and a 'mud room'
The property's patio and outdoor yard features an inground pool and cabana
English footballers still 'take the knee' before games in deference to BLM and even Sir Keir Starmer was photographed doing the same in his office at the height of the protests. With those who didn't fall into line risking accusations of racism, few wanted to be thought out of step.
So no wonder three co-founders of the movement might have felt they deserved to celebrate a little as their cause gained widespread attention.
In a video they released on YouTube last year to mark the first anniversary of George Floyd's death at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis, the trio — Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Melina Abdullah — toasted each other with champagne.
The mood was jubilant: they were leading a group that had received a jaw-dropping $90million (£69million) in donations in 2020 alone. And yet it hadn't been entirely plain-sailing.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation famously grew into one of the largest international movements against racial injustice in mid-2020 but has now come under intense scrutiny over its finances
Patrisse Cullors, the movement's co-founder and until last year its executive director, was incensed by criticism she'd received from what she called a 'Right-wing-media machine just leveraging literally all its weight against me, against our movement, against BLM the organisation'.
She added: 'It's because we're powerful, because we are winning. It's because we are threatening the establishment, we're threatening white supremacy.'
She was mainly referring to a 2021 story in the New York Post that revealed how, since the BLM movement took off, she'd spent $3.2million (£2.5million) buying four homes, including three in LA and another in Atlanta, Georgia, with an aircraft hangar.
Cullors insisted she'd paid for the properties with money earned from public speaking and book sales.
It was hardly the first time BLM leaders had tried to dismiss any criticism as racist. 'I think they've attempted to cancel us, but they have not been successful,' chimed in Melina Abdullah, who co-founded BLM's LA 'chapter'.
'They've attempted to say — and I'm just gonna say it — 'She bought some damn houses. We gonna cancel her.' '
Alicia Garza — another co-founder of the BLM movement — had a message for their rich, white critics: 'Y'all don't know s**t about what it takes to live in a box here.'
A 'box'? Well that's one way to describe the house they were sitting in front of and which their organisation had just bought — a 6,500 sq ft, seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion in LA's Studio City neighbourhood costing a cool $6million (£4.6million).
Emails show the firm wanted to keep the purchase secret, despite filming a video on the home's patio in May
As well as a swimming pool, its palm tree-shaded grounds also boast a sound stage, music recording studio and two-bedroom guest house.
For an organisation dedicated to radical wealth distribution to help the disadvantaged, not to mention dismantling capitalism altogether, the deluxe property seems a curious choice. Which is surely why, according to an investigation by New York Magazine, the BLM leaders went to great pains to hide it.
The property was bought in cash in October 2020 with money donated to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the original BLM organisation and an umbrella group for the worldwide movement.
Only two weeks earlier, it had received $66.5million (£51.1million) from the financial body processing the donations following the death of Mr Floyd.
New York Magazine reported that the house was purchased by a property developer named Dyane Pascall, who is financial manager for a company run by Cullors and her wife.
Within a week, according to California property records, Pascall transferred ownership of the house to a company established in Delaware, the tiny state known as 'America's Switzerland' thanks to its notoriously opaque corporate-transparency rules.
According to New York Magazine: 'The manoeuvre ensured that the ultimate identity of the property's new owner was not disclosed to the public.'
Adding to the confusion, although the property had originally been bought for $3.1million, it was transferred to the Delaware company for $5.8million. The discrepancy between these two figures has yet to be explained.
Cullors, 38, came under fire last year for a slew of high-profile property purchases. She resigned after facing backlash from critics and supporters. BLM brass assert the latest purchase is above board, despite internal emails showing members attempting to cover up its existence when confronted with real estate records detailing the purchase
The video, posted in June, shows Cullors (not pictured) enjoying a ritzy brunch outside the estate with fellow officials Alicia Garza and Melina Abdullah, who have both since left the organization
Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza, and Melina Abdullah, allegedly laid out $6million to buy a 6500-square foot Southern California mansion (seen in background) Emails show the firm wanted to keep it secret, despite filming a video on its patio in May (pictured) - an incident officials in emails called a 'hole' in story given to the paper
As a charity, the BLM Global Network Foundation is supposed to list its donors and expenditure annually. But it reportedly hasn't done so for 2020 or 2021. In February this year, the group stopped raising money online after California officials threatened to hold its leaders personally responsible for this lack of transparency.
Shalomyah Bowers, a Foundation board member, said in a statement that the organisation bought the mansion 'with the intention for it to serve as housing and studio space for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship' which will provide recording facilities for black 'creatives'.
Bowers said the BLM Global Network Foundation had 'always planned' to disclose the house in legal filings this May and that it doesn't serve as anyone's personal residence.
In a letter issued to BLM Monday, the California Department of Justice also accused the charity of failing to submit its annual financial reports and alleged it was in delinquent status
Cullors claimed separately that the New York Magazine article had been 'racist and sexist' and 'filled with misinformation, innuendo and incendiary opinions'. She said she had 'never misappropriated funds' and added that the house was bought 'to be a safe space' for black people in the community. It hadn't been announced earlier as the building 'needed repairs and renovation', she claimed. New York Magazine said it stood by its story.
Cullors asked supporters to 'understand the enormous pressure and fear that comes with living under the constant threat of white supremacist terror and real threats on my life and those of people I love'.
New York Magazine claimed BLM bosses have been staying at the mansion when they feel 'unsafe' in their own homes. It also noted that the statement didn't address why, if it is a creative space, so little has been 'created' there since it was bought over a year ago.
BLMGNF filed IRS documents requesting to become a nonprofit in 2020 when millions of dollars in donations began pouring in after the police killing of George Floyd
Financial and legal experts, meanwhile, have expressed grave concerns that the mansion was purchased — and is being run — in such a way as to blur the boundaries between the Foundation, which is a charity, and private companies owned by some of its leaders.
Paul Cullors, Patrisse's brother, is 'head of security' at the house, while her mother was approved for a cleaning job there. Patrisse has even used the mansion's kitchen to film her own cookery programme. Charity experts say an official investigation may be justified to ensure donations are being spent properly.
Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza set up Black Lives Matter in 2013 with fellow activist Opal Tometi, in protest at the acquittal of George Zimmerman, a neighbourhood-watch volunteer who had shot dead Trayvon Martin, a black 17-year-old, in Florida. Zimmerman pleaded self-defence.
Cullors, who came up with the social media hashtag 'blacklivesmatter', grew up in a poor neighbourhood of California's San Fernando Valley, had a father who was in and out of prison and says she first experienced police racism as a nine-year-old when she watched officers harassing her brothers. As executive director of the BLM Global Network Foundation until last May, Cullors advocates abolishing the police, the Armed Forces and prisons (replacing the latter with a rehabilitation system for offenders).
She has compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and has claimed that Communists such as Karl Marx, Lenin and China's Chairman Mao provide 'a new understanding around what our economies could look like'.
Garza, 41, like Cullors, is another hard-Left firebrand who believes that capitalism and 'imperialism' oppress ethnic minorities in the U.S. Their organisation states on its website that its founders are 'radical Black organisers' heading a decentralised 'global network of more than 40 chapters'.
Following Floyd's death in 2020, parts of the media showered these founders in accolades. The BBC put Cullors, Garza and Tometi on its 2020 list of '100 inspiring and influential women'.
Under 'professional fees' in the organization's IRS Form 1023, BLMGNF listed $12,706,366 for 2020 and predicted a similar sum, $12.7million, on such costs for 2021
The Times Literary Supplement gushed that Cullors' 2018 memoir, When They Call You A Terrorist, was a 'magnificent accomplishment'.
However, critics wondered if the BLM fan club had read the small print. In 2015, Cullors admitted that both she and Garza were 'trained Marxists'. Echoing this, according to her publisher, Penguin Random House, Garza 'describes herself as a queer social-justice activist and Marxist'.
Their organisation's aims include 'disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and 'villages' '.
Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter UK, a British version formed in 2016 when activists chained themselves together outside London City Airport claiming climate change is 'racist', listed its commitment to dismantling capitalism as a goal during 2020 whilst fundraising on the GoFundMe website.
The British group raised more than £1.2million but, as in America, quickly attracted calls to be more transparent about how it would spend the money and about the identity of its shadowy leadership.
BLM UK — which insists it is not Marxist — is not listed as an official 'chapter' of the U.S. organisation but it has been endorsed by Patrisse Cullors.
Supporters of BLM insist the movement is the victim of a disinformation campaign designed to smear it as Communist. But critics say it's BLM that is guilty of peddling disinformation in passing itself off as singularly devoted to fighting racial injustice.
Either way, Karl Marx — who advocated that all private property be eliminated — would have taken a very dim view of 'Marxists' splashing out $6million on an LA mansion.
Grassroots BLM activists across the U.S. have already been wondering where all the donations were going, complaining how the senior leadership were swanning around doing lucrative speaking engagements and book deals while they were so starved of funds some were on the verge of homelessness.
It was only after BLM groups across the U.S. demanded greater transparency and accountability from the BLM Global Network Foundation and its leadership that the latter finally revealed, in spring 2021, that they had taken more than $90million in donations following George Floyd's murder.
The subsequent decision by Patrisse Cullors to step down as the organisation's boss (citing other interests including a book agreement) hardly satisfied critics, who said that she and her colleagues had been overcome by their own self-importance.
Two mothers of victims of police violence, Lisa Simpson and Samaria Rice (whose 12-year-old son was shot dead while playing with a toy gun), released a statement last May calling for the BLM Global Network Foundation to stop exploiting their suffering.
'We don't want or need y'all parading in the streets accumulating donations, platforms, movie deals, etc off the death of our loved ones, while the families and communities are left clueless and broke,' they said.
It may be little surprise then that New York Magazine says the group went to great lengths to silence the latest scandal.
When pressed on their reasons for buying such an expensive property, the leadership circulated an internal-strategy memo discussing ways to 'kill the story' and adding: 'Our angle — needs to be to deflate ownership of the property.'
One idea, to say it was used as a secret 'safe house' for threatened members, was dropped after a member pointed out they could hardly say it was secret when they were releasing videos filmed there.
One of these videos, filmed last year and uploaded to Cullors' personal YouTube channel, is titled I Try Baking A Family Recipe For The FIRST Time *INTENSE*. It was billed as the first in a series called 'Patrisse Tries', a 13-minute segment filmed at the mansion's ritzy soapstone kitchen island.
It's also not surprising that the BLM leaders should think they could 'kill' the story given their success in the past. A compliant U.S. media, desperate not to undermine the racial justice struggle or be accused of racism, certainly helps.
In fact, it's not even possible to share the New York Post's 2021 exposé on Cullors' property purchases on Facebook because the social media giant has bizarrely labelled the content 'abusive'.
New York Magazine — the first Left-wing U.S. media outlet to dare to scrutinise BLM's financial activities — said it had seen private messages that exposed the group's efforts to monitor social media for any 'negative mentions' of the BLM Global Network Foundation and persuade the relevant companies to remove it.
The magazine said it also discovered the group routinely hires a private detective to dig into anyone criticising or investigating it — including the author of the $6million mansion report.
It's not difficult to see why rank-and-file BLM activists and families of those killed by police feel livid and betrayed.

Turkish 'fraudster' may have paid the Duchess of York a further £20,000 in addition to a payment of £225,000 and more than £1m paid to Prince Andrew
- Court documents reveal she could have accepted further £20,000 from Selman Turk
- Details of payment were disclosed by law firm Peters and Peters in court papers
- It was paid via Alphabet Capital, a business that had already been claimed in court papers as route for Duchess receiving £225,000
- Payment was not done in instalments and Mr Turk forwarded the full amount
The Duchess of York may have received a further £20,000 from an alleged fraudster accused of cheating a Turkish millionairess out of huge sums, it emerged yesterday.
Court documents reveal she could have accepted the sum from Selman Turk in addition to a payment of £225,000 and more than £1million paid to her ex-husband Prince Andrew.
Nebahat Isbilen is suing Mr Turk at the High Court, accusing him of misusing her money, an allegation he denies.
Details of the payment were disclosed by her law firm Peters and Peters in court papers in which it revised its claim of who received her assets.
Court documents reveal she could have accepted the sum from Selman Turk in addition to a payment of £225,000 and more than £1million paid to her ex-husband Prince Andrew
The document states that it now 'appears likely' a payment, previously identified as £20,000, was to a business 'connected with Sarah, Duchess of York'.
This was paid via Alphabet Capital, a business that had already been claimed in court papers as the route for the duchess receiving £225,000. It is understood she is not planning to repay the sum as this was to cover her work as a brand ambassador for a US solar energy company.
According to reports, she is believed to have not wanted to be paid in instalments and Mr Turk forwarded the full amount.
According to reports, the Duchess is believed to have not wanted to be paid in instalments and Mr Turk (pictured) forwarded the full amount
A spokesman for the duchess said: 'The duchess was completely unaware of the allegations that have since emerged against Mr Turk.
'She is naturally concerned by what has been alleged against him.' Mr Turk is at the centre of a mystery over payments of £350,000 to the Duke of York, £225,000 to the duchess, £25,000 to Princess Eugenie and a £750,000 'gift' for Princess Beatrice's wedding.
Mrs Isbilen alleges she was tricked by Mr Turk into giving the duke £1.1million.
Andrew has repaid £750,000 but has not explained why it was paid into his bank account in the first place.
The pair were introduced by Tarek Kaituni, a Libyan gun-smuggling associate of the late Colonel Gadaffi, in 2019.

ST. HELENS, Ore. (AP) — A Oregon State Police trooper who was critically injured in a police incident last year on U.S. Route 30 near St. Helens is now recovering at home.
KATU-TV reported that Trooper John Jeffries was home on Friday after months of hospitalization and rehabilitation.
On Nov. 11, troopers responding to an assault report were pursuing a driver fleeing from Longview, Washington. Police said the driver rammed a state patrol car and struck Jeffries.
The suspect, John Thralls of Longview, Washington, was treated for injuries sustained during the crash and arrested. Thralls, 54, remained in Columbia County Jail Friday on $5 million bail, jail records show.
He faces assault and other charges in the case. It wasn't immediately known if he has a lawyer to comment on the case.
State police said in January that Jeffries had been flown to a hospital that specializes in trauma and that his care was centered around physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges and recovery.

HYGIENE, Colo. (KDVR) — Being a firefighter requires a certain amount of mental and physical strength. But it’s a part of the job that firefighter Dylan Miraglia of Hygiene, Colorado, takes more seriously than some. “It’s a physical job, it’s a blue-collar job,” Miraglia said. “You have to be strong, and that’s one of the aspects of the job.”
When Miraglia’s not working, you can usually find him working out in a small gym tucked behind the rural Boulder County fire station. “I’ve been weightlifting my whole life, and there’s not a day where I’m going to take off and relax. It’s just a part of me,” he said.

Miraglia said he’s always dreamed of setting a world weightlifting record and stumbled upon a challenge while flipping through the Guinness Book of World Records. “They had a record for who could lift the most weight by atlas stone in sixty minutes,” he said. “And I saw that and I was like, ‘OK, I could beat this, I know I could beat this.’”
Last September, Miraglia set out to accomplish the task, lifting a 193-pound atlas stone 194 times in one hour.
Miraglia had to film the attempt from multiple angles, and have a certified timer verify the process. In the end, he lifted more than 37,000 pounds over the course of the hour, crushing the previous record by roughly 8,000 pounds.
After weeks of waiting, he said the record was verified a few weeks ago. “I was actually on shift at the station and got this email, and was like, ‘Ahh, this is awesome!'” he said.
Miraglia already has his eyes set on another record involving Turkish kettlebells. He’s also hoping to make it back-to-back years on the Lifeline Puppy Fire Rescue Dogs Calendar.

INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis renovation company has settled with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) after alleged violations depicted on the television program Good Bones.
The EPA announced the settlement with Two Chicks and a Hammer, Inc. Friday. The agency alleges beginning in 2017, the Indianapolis-based company performed, or directed workers to perform, renovations in three Indianapolis properties constructed prior to 1978 without complying with the Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP).
Since being contacted by the EPA, the company has obtained RRP certification and agreed to comply with the rule in all future renovation activities.
“Compliance with federal lead paint laws is essential to protect children across the country and is a priority for EPA,” said EPA Region 5 Administrator Debra Shore. “With so many people watching TV shows like these for tips on remodeling their own homes, it’s extremely important for these shows to demonstrate lead-safe work practices.”
As a part of the settlement, the company will pay a $40,000 civil penalty and produce a video about renovations involving lead-based paint. The video will primarily feature Good Bones star Mina Starsiak. They will also post another video on social media about protecting children from lead exposure.
The EPS says they have settled other RRP enforcement cases with other programs that air on HGTV/Discovery including Magnolia Homes, Texas Flip N Move, and Rehab Addict and Bargain Mansions.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed legislation Friday to provide payments of $500 to individual adults or $1,000 to households to offset increased prices for fuel and other consumer goods.
Payments of $250 per individual are scheduled for June and August under a Democratic-sponsored bill approved Tuesday during a one-day special legislative session.
The payments will arrive on top of separate tax rebates in July that exclude upper-income residents. Income limits don't apply to the newly approved payments, which will cost the state about $700 million.
Most payments will go out automatically as tax rebates to people who file tax returns in New Mexico, while $20 million also was set aside largely for elderly people with little or no income who don’t ordinarily file taxes. Undocumented immigrants are eligible whether they file tax returns or not.
The U.S. inflation rate for the 12 months ending in February was nearly 8% — and that was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine set off a worldwide surge in fuel prices.
Democratic Rep. Christine Chandler of Los Alamos, chairwoman of the lead House committee on taxation, highlighted the cascading effect of higher fuel prices as businesses pass on energy costs by raising prices on a variety of goods and services.
“The rising fuel costs are hitting families, especially in our rural communities," Chandler said at an online news conference. “We are giving families relief now and also in the summer when they are preparing to send their kids back to school."
The New Mexico state government is experiencing a financial windfall linked to record-setting oil production in the Permian Basin. Lujan Grisham said the rebates are meaningful to families but won't necessarily be repeated in future years.
“While giving rebates directly into the hands of New Mexicans, particularly in the context of inflation, are both meaningful, valuable and necessary .... we also want to make sure that we’re hitting the mark on continuing our investments in education” and housing, said Lujan Grisham, who is running for reelection in November.
Republicans in the legislative minority were divided on the initiative, with one GOP senator and 13 allied House representatives voting against it amid concerns about making local inflation worse without cutting taxes.

TROSA’s on-campus auto body workshop. Advocates, researchers, and some former employees and participants of TROSA say the program uses an outdated model that takes advantage of participants by making them work without pay. Photo credit: Taylor Knopf
This story originally published online at NC Health News in partnership with Kaiser Health News.
An addiction treatment facility, highly regarded by North Carolina lawmakers, sits in a residential neighborhood here and operates like a village in itself. Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers, better known as TROSA, hosts roughly 400 people a day on a campus with rows of housing units, cafeterias, a full gym, and a barbershop.
The program, which began in 1994, is uniquely designed: Treatment, housing and meals are free to participants. And TROSA doesn’t bill insurance. Instead, residents work for about two years in TROSA’s many businesses, including a moving company, thrift store and lawn care service. Program leaders say the work helps residents overcome addiction and train for future jobs. Of those who graduate, 96 percent of individuals remain sober and 91 percent are employed a year later, the program’s latest report claims.
Impressed with such statistics, state lawmakers recently allotted $11 million for TROSA to expand its model to Winston-Salem. It’s the largest amount in the state budget targeted to a single treatment provider and comes on the heels of $6 million North Carolina previously provided for its expansion, as well as $3.2 million TROSA has received in state and federal funds annually for several years.
Keith Artin is the president and CEO of Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers, better known as TROSA. The program provides free treatment, housing and meals to residents who work for about two years in one of TROSA’s many businesses, including a moving company, thrift store and lawn care services.

This latest influx of taxpayer dollars—coming at a time when overdose deaths are surging and each dollar spent on treatment is crucial—is drawing criticism. Advocates, researchers, and some former employees and participants of TROSA say the program takes advantage of participants by making them work without pay and puts their lives at risk by restricting the use of certain medications for opioid use disorder. Although those who graduate may do well, only 25 percent of participants complete the program—a figure TROSA leaders confirmed.
“If I had known about this funding, I would have been the first person on the mic to [tell lawmakers], ‘I don’t think you all should do this,’” said K.C. Freeman, who interned at TROSA in 2018 and later spent two months on staff in the medical department. “You can’t look at the small number of people who had success and say this works. It’s not the majority.”
The dispute over TROSA’s funding comes amid national conversations about how to allocate billions of dollars available after landmark opioid settlements with drug companies. Two flashpoints in the North Carolina debate may provide a window into heated conversations to come. First: Are work-based rehabs legal or ethical? And second: Should every facility that receives public funding allow participants to use all medications for opioid use disorder?
Work as treatment
Work-based rehabs are widespread across the country. The investigative news outlet Reveal identified at least 300 such facilities, including some that place participants in dangerous jobs at oil refineries or dairy farms with no training and exploit workers to bolster profits.
Many of these programs use a portion of their revenue to sustain the rehab and offer residents free housing or meals. That can make them attractive to state legislators, said Noah Zatz, a UCLA law professor who specializes in employment and labor law.
“Because essentially they’re running businesses off of people’s uncompensated labor, there is a built-in funding mechanism,” he said. “If the state doesn’t have to pay full freight to run a program … that might be a reason to like it.”
TROSA’s annual reports indicate more than half of its multimillion-dollar budget is funded through its businesses at which residents work, as well as goods and services that are donated to the program. About 30 percent of its funding comes from government grants and contracts.
Although TROSA and its leaders report no significant campaign donations, they spend upward of $75,000 a year on lobbying. In presentations, they often share a 2017 study—conducted by an independent research institute at TROSA’s request—which found TROSA saves the state nearly $7.5 million annually in criminal justice and emergency care costs.
The program’s self-financing aspect is part of its appeal for North Carolina Sen. Joyce Krawiec, a Republican who represents part of Forsyth County, where TROSA is building its new site.
“The good thing about TROSA: They raised most of their own funds,” she said in a phone interview.
It’s reasonable that residents don’t get paid for their work, she added, since they’re already receiving free treatment and housing. Other rehabs can be prohibitively expensive for many families, so TROSA provides a much-needed option.
But being a bargain doesn’t necessarily make it legal, Zatz and other labor experts said. A previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling suggests nonprofits that run businesses without paying employees could violate the Fair Labor Standards Act.
But TROSA administrators say they are not an employer; they are a therapeutic community. Clear policies guard against the exploitation of anyone, said Keith Artin, president and CEO. The jobs provide residents with structure and an opportunity to change their behaviors.
“The work-based element is essential to recovery,” Artin said. “We’re teaching people how to live.”
Toward the end of residents’ two-year stays, TROSA assists them in job-hunting and allows them to live on campus for several months while they work at a newfound job and build savings.
Diverging work experiences
TROSA’s model has widespread support among lawmakers and families affected by addiction. Benjamin Weston said it was “a blessing.”
Weston said he started using cocaine as a teenager and struggled with addiction for years. At 22, he entered TROSA. He said he was grateful for two years of free treatment.
After brief assignments in TROSA’s thrift store and moving company, Weston transitioned to the development office, where he solicited donations from local businesses. “It was meaningful work that also taught me a lot of good job skills,” he said.
Since graduating in 2016, Weston has worked in development for Hope Connection International, a nonprofit his mother started to support survivors of abuse and addiction.
Other graduates interviewed for this article talked about using the moving skills or commercial driving licenses they gained to obtain full-time jobs. Some said they’re buying houses and starting families— successes they credit to their experience in the program.
But not every resident finds the work model therapeutic. Several described working 10 to 16 hours a day, six days a week, in physically demanding moving or lawn care businesses. Several said there was little time for therapy and, with only a handful of counselors for hundreds of residents, wait times for a session could span weeks.
Freeman, the former TROSA employee who has a master’s in social work, said he thought residents rarely had an opportunity to process the trauma that made them use drugs in the first place. Although Freeman did not counsel clients—his role at TROSA focused on ordering and stocking medications—he said he noticed many graduates returned repeatedly to the program, struggling to stay away from substances once they left campus.
Richard Osborne first heard of TROSA while incarcerated on drug and theft-related charges. Like 38 percent of TROSA residents, he chose to attend the program as a condition of his probation.
One day in 2017, Osborne and other residents working with the moving company were unloading large boards of plywood from a trailer, when a board fell and smashed him against the trailer, he said. His vision became blurry and he worried about having a concussion, he said.
As he remembers it, no one suggested medical care. “The next day, they told me I had to get back to work,” he claimed.
That’s when Osborne said he decided to leave.
Today, Osborne, 31, said he has not used drugs in about four years, holds a steady job, and has a loving family. But it’s no thanks to TROSA, he said.
“They’re taking advantage of people at their low points in life,” he said. The moving company brings in $4 million a year, yet residents who work for it are not even allowed to keep tips, he added.
TROSA leaders confirmed the tips policy but said they could not comment on an individual residents’ experience. In general, CEO Artin wrote in an email, “when a resident is injured we ensure that they receive immediate medical attention and would never knowingly put a resident at risk.”
As a nonprofit, TROSA funnels revenue from its businesses back into the treatment program, he added.
The program’s 2020 tax documents show its top five employees combined earned over $750,000 in salary and benefits.
Medication hesitancy
TROSA provides psychiatric care through a contract with Duke Health and offers group or individual counseling to residents who request it. The program employs four full-time counselors and partners with local providers who donate physical therapy, dental care, and other medical services.
But TROSA does not provide access to some of the most effective treatments for opioid use disorder: methadone and buprenorphine. Both medications activate opioid receptors in the brain and reduce opioid withdrawal and cravings. It’s been well documented that these medications greatly reduce the risk of opioid overdose death, and the FDA-approved drugs are considered the “gold standard” for treatment.
Right now, TROSA leaders say the only medication for opioid use disorder the program offers is naltrexone, an injectable medication that works differently than the other two because it requires patients to fully detox to be effective. Because of this, some experts are hesitant to use it, saying it puts people at higher risk of overdose death.
About one-third of TROSA participants report opioids are their primary drug of choice.
TROSA leaders said they’ve discussed adding the other addiction treatment medications but face logistical barriers. All medications at TROSA are self-administered, and leaders worry about diversion of oral methadone and buprenorphine, which are classified as controlled substances. They say they’d consider injectable buprenorphine, but it’s costly for their mostly uninsured participants.
“People choose to come here because it is a behavior modification program,” said Lisa Finlay, lead clinical counselor at TROSA. “They know that we don’t offer buprenorphine or those medications. We have people who have tried those medications in the past and believe that they actually led them back to using.”
Evidence suggests that people using medications for opioid use disorder have the best outcomes when they have access to other recovery support services, such as housing, employment, counseling and a community. But while clinicians across the country have embraced these medications, leaders of residential treatment programs founded in the more traditional 12-step, abstinence-based recovery model have pushed back.
Some old-school recovery leaders claim the use of medications is simply replacing one drug with another, which has created stigma around this form of treatment.
A 2020 study found that about 40 percent of residential programs surveyed in the U.S. didn’t offer opioid use disorder medications and 20 percent actively discouraged people from using them. In North Carolina, there are 62 licensed long-term residential treatment facilities, according to the SAMHSA treatment locator, and fewer than half accept patients who take these medications. Only 12 facilities are licensed to prescribe buprenorphine.
This has resulted in tough conversations with patients for Kate Roberts, a clinical social worker on a UNC Health team that treats people with severe IV drug-related infections. Once patients are stabilized, many start buprenorphine, she said. Some say they want to go to a residential program for structure, job training and to learn coping skills. Roberts recalled one patient saying to her: “I need to go to residential treatment and I need this medication because I fear I’ll die.”
“That’s really heartbreaking to hear a patient clearly articulate what it is that they need … which is in line with the [research] literature,” she said. “And that you know there are very few places in the state that offer that.”
Doctors and public health experts nationwide are pushing for lawmakers to fund rehab facilities that allow these medications, saying they’re the best way to combat the opioid crisis.
Some medical and legal experts have said it’s in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act to deny recovery services such as housing to people using medications for opioid use disorder. Health experts say that funding abstinence-based addiction programs could also inadvertently cause more overdoses if people leave the program and return to using drugs with a much lower tolerance, especially as fentanyl is rampant in the street drug supply.
These conversations will become only more important as opioid settlement funds arrive, said Bradley Stein, director of the national Rand Opioid Policy Center.
“The goal isn’t just to get people into treatment; it’s to get people doing better,” he said. “You want to make sure that you’re using the money effectively.”
The conversations have begun in North Carolina. When Rep. Graig Meyer (D-Durham) tweeted his support for TROSA late last year, clinicians reached out to him explaining their concerns about the program not allowing participants to use methadone or buprenorphine.
Although Meyer still believes it’s an effective program, he said, “I also have concerns from what I learned about TROSA’s approach to treating opioid addiction in particular. I’d like to see TROSA consider what their current practices are.”

First private mission to the ISS lifts off
A SpaceX rocket ship has blasted off carrying the first all-private astronaut team ever launched to the International Space Station (ISS), a flight hailed by industry executives and NASA as a milestone in the commercialisation of spaceflight.
The four-man team selected by Houston-based startup Axiom Space Inc for its landmark debut spaceflight and orbital science mission lifted off at 11.17am on Friday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Live video webcast by Axiom showed the 25-storey-tall SpaceX launch vehicle - consisting of a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket topped by its Crew Dragon capsule - streaking into the skies over Florida's Atlantic coast atop a fiery, yellowish tail of exhaust.
Cameras inside the crew compartment beamed footage of the four men strapped into the pressurised cabin, seated calmly in their helmeted white-and-black flight suits as the rocket soared toward space.
Nine minutes after launch, the rocket's upper stage delivered the crew capsule into its preliminary orbit, according to launch commentators. Meanwhile, the rocket's reusable lower stage, having detached from the rest of the spacecraft, flew itself back to Earth and safely touched down on a landing platform floating on a drone vessel in the Atlantic.
Launch webcast commentator Kate Tice described the liftoff as "absolutely picture-perfect." One crew member could be heard telling mission control in a radio transmission, "That was a hell of a ride."
If all goes as planned, the quartet led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria will arrive at the space station on Saturday, after a 20-hour-plus flight, and the autonomously operated Crew Dragon will dock with the orbiting outpost some 400 kilometres above Earth.
SpaceX, the rocket company founded in 2002 by billionaire Elon Musk, was directing mission control for the flight from its headquarters near Los Angeles.
NASA, besides furnishing the launch site, will assume responsibility for the astronauts once they rendezvous with the space station to undertake eight days of science and biomedical research while in orbit.
The mission, representing a partnership among Axiom, SpaceX and NASA, has been touted by all three as a major step in the expansion of commercial space ventures collectively referred to by insiders as the low-Earth orbit economy, or "LEO economy" for short.
Friday's launch also stands as SpaceX's sixth human space flight in nearly two years, following four NASA astronaut missions to the space station and the Inspiration 4 launch in September that sent an all-civilian crew to orbit for the first time. That flight did not dock with the ISS.

New York announced it will allow to-go drinks from restaurants for the next three years. A provision in the state budget bill released on Thursday settles a booze battle between bars, restaurants and liquor stores.
During the height of the pandemic, dining establishments and local bars and taverns were allowed to serve drinks to-go as customers stayed away from indoor dining. However, last June the provision was lifted as businesses began returning to normal dining practices.
Now, according to the budget bill, any alcohol sold to-go must be accompanied by "a substantial" food order. It also does not permit restaurants or bars to sell full-size bottles of wine or liquor.
And in Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a package of bills that will allow restaurants and bars to sell cocktails and alcoholic beverages to-go, WXYZ reported.
According to the governor's office, the bills were aimed to provide relief for restaurants and bars. They will be able to sell drinks to-go and deliver them until the end of 2025.
“The MLBA, its members, and all 8,500 licensees throughout the state have something to be excited about today,” said Michigan Licensed Beverage Association Executive Director Scott Ellis. “We would like to thank Governor Whitmer, Senator Nesbitt, Representative Webber, and Representative Anthony for their focus and hard work for bringing these ideas to fruition in a timely manner.”

LIMA, Peru (AP) — The Inter-American Court of Human Rights on Friday ordered Peru to “refrain” from releasing imprisoned former president Alberto Fujimori despite a ruling by the South American country's Constitutional Court that he be freed.
The regional human rights court said in a resolution published on its website that “the sentence issued by the Constitutional Court on March 17, 2022, which restores the effects of the pardon in favor of Alberto Fujimori, did not comply with the certain conditions."
Special prosecutor Carlos Reaño told The Associated Press that officials would keep the 83-year-old Fujimori in detention at the regional court’s request. Fujimori is being held in an exclusive prison where he is the only prisoner.
Supporters of Fujimori had gathered outside prison hoping to see his release, while those opposed to letting him out have protested in downtown Lima
In 2009 Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years in prison for being the intellectual author of 25 murders carried out by a clandestine military squad in two massacres that occurred during his term (1990-2000). The military killed with impunity and with the support of his management in the framework of the fight against the Shining Path terrorist group.
One of the massacres occurred in an area called Barrios Altos - where 15 neighbors were killed during a party, including a child - and the other in La Cantuta, a university that trains school teachers, in which nine students and a professor died.
In addition to the 25-year sentence, the former president is convicted in three other corruption cases for which he owes $13.6 million.
On Christmas Eve in 2017, then-president Pablo Kuczynski granted Fujimori a humanitarian pardon in exchange for support for his weak government from lawmakers close to the former president. But the country’s Supreme Court overturned it in 2018 and ordered the ex-strongman returned to prison to serve out his sentence for human rights abuses.
The Constitutional Court’s mid-March decision restored the humanitarian pardon, but fearing he could be released the regional human rights court on March 30 requested that Peru not release Fujimori until it could examine the case. It heard from victims' families and representatives of the Peruvian state, before issuing Friday's resolution, which cannot be appealed.
Fujimori, who governed from 1990 to 2000, remains a polarizing figure in the Andean country. Some Peruvians laud him for defeating the Maoist Shining Path guerrilla movement, while others loathe him for human rights violations carried out under his government.
A former mathematics professor, Fujimori was a political outsider when he emerged from obscurity to win Peru’s 1990 presidential election over writer Mario Vargas Llosa.
Peru was being ravaged by runaway inflation and guerrilla violence when he took office. He quickly rebuilt the economy with mass privatizations of state industries. Defeating the fanatical Shining Path rebels took longer but his fight won him broad-based support.
But his presidency collapsed just as dramatically as his rise to power.
After briefly shutting down Congress and putting himself into a third term, Fujimori fled the country in disgrace in 2000 after leaked videotapes showed his spy chief, Vladimiro Montesinos, bribing lawmakers. Fujimori went to Japan, his parents’ homeland, and sent in his resignation by fax.
Five years later, he stunned supporters and enemies alike when he flew to neighboring Chile, where he was arrested and extradited to Peru. Fujimori’s goal was to run for Peru’s presidency again in 2006, but instead, he was put on trial.
His daughter, Keiko Fujimori, was a presidential candidate last year and vowed to release him if she got elected. But Pedro Castillo defeated her in a runoff election.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — It was a packed crowd on the South Lawn of the White House Friday to celebrate the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court justice-to-be Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Among those celebrating was Congressional Black Caucus Chair Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio.
“A brilliant scholar who looks like us will be seated on the highest court,” she said with pride.
During Jackson’s speech, she thanked God, supporters and her family for bringing her to this moment.
“We’ve made it,” Jackson said. “…I am the dream and the hope of the slave.”
“For a justice to say that it gives me great comfort,” Beatty said.
Two students at Jackson’s alma mater, Harvard Law School, are proud of the ceiling Jackson is breaking.
“I’m inspired to figure out what it means to chart my path what it means to break another ceiling,” Mariah Watson said.
“We’re here for a bigger purpose and I can tell that’s what she’s here for,” Zarinah Mustafa said.
The emotion behind Jackson’s historic confirmation could be felt throughout the White House ceremony, with President Joe Biden calling it the best achievement of his administration so far.
“That means a lot that president Biden knew that we needed that sort of leadership,” Kalisha Dessources-Figures said.
Dessources-Figures sits on the team that helped the president select Jackson. She says that the soon-to-be justice’s record speaks for itself.
“She is truly just the nominee for this moment,” she said. “I imagine all the Black girls across this country, the Black women, the children are just looking in awe at the history she’s made.”
Jackson will join the court once Justice Stephen Breyer retires this summer.

Wander Franco has 3 hits, Rays win opener over Orioles 2-1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Budding star Wander Franco had three hits, Francisco Mejía snapped an eighth-inning tie with a pinch-hit sacrifice fly and the AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 in their season opener Friday.
Franco started the winning rally with a single to right off reliever Dillon Tate. It was the 21-year-old's first game since signing a $182 million, 11-year contract in the offseason. He batted .288 with seven homers and 39 RBIs in 70 games as a rookie.
Pinch hitter Ji-Man Choi drew a walk and reigning AL Rookie of the Year Randy Arozarena beat out an infield single to load the bases against right-hander Jorge Perez (0-1). After Brandon Lowe hit into a force play at the plate that took Franco off the bases, Mejía lifted his sacrifice fly to left field.
Andrew Kittredge (1-0), the fifth of seven Tampa Bay pitchers, worked one inning. Lowe drove in the Rays´ other run with a third-inning sacrifice fly, and offseason addition Brooks Raley got the final out in the ninth for the save.
Taking up where they left off last season, when they won a franchise-record 100 games and their second straight AL East crown, the Rays unveiled another championship banner and extended their dominance over the Orioles.
Baltimore lost 110 games in 2021, including 18 of 19 against Tampa Bay, which finished 48 games ahead of the Orioles.

The Rays's season ended on a sour note with a loss to Boston in the AL Division Series, but Franco's long-term deal and the addition of former Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber has Tampa Bay eyeing an October return.
Lowe delivered his sacrifice fly after Yandy Díaz, Franco and Arozarena singled to load the bases against starter John Means in the third. Baltimore tied it on Anthony Santander´s one-out, solo homer off Matt Wisler in the sixth.
Means made his second straight opening day start, throwing 84 pitches while allowing one run, six hits, a walk and striking out five over four innings.
Lefty Shane McClanahan departed his first career opening day start with a 1-0 lead after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and limiting Baltimore to four hits, walking two and fanning seven in a 68-pitch, 4 1/3 inning stint before 25,025, which the Rays declared a sellout, although tickets weren't sold for the upper deck.
Excluding 2020, when fans weren´t allowed inside Tropicana Field due to the coronavirus pandemic, it´s the 16th consecutive season the Rays say they've sold out their home opener.
TRAINER´S ROOM
The Rays open the season with right-hander Shane Baz, who was projected to be part of the starting rotation, on the 10-day injured list after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his pitching elbow during spring training. The team also placed right-handed reliever Pete Fairbanks (right lat strain) on the 60-day IL while finalizing the opening day roster.
UP NEXT
Middle game of the three-game weekend series, with right-hander Drew Rasmussen starting for the Rays and the Orioles countering with right-hander Jordan Lyles, who was 10-13 with a 5.15 ERA with the Texas Rangers last season. Rasmussen was 4-0 with a 2.44 ERA in 20 appearances, including 10 starts, after Tampa Bay obtained him from Milwaukee in a trade that sent Willy Adames to the Brewers last May.

WarnerMedia, Discovery complete merger, become Warner Bros Discovery
April 8 (Reuters) - AT&T Inc's WarnerMedia unit and Discovery Inc have completed their merger, the companies said on Friday.
The combined company, Warner Bros Discovery Inc, will start trading on the Nasdaq on Monday under the ticker symbol "WBD".
In May last year, the companies set out to merge and become a standalone media business, with AT&T aiming to focus more on its wireless ambitions and Discovery looking to beef up its content library.
"With the close of this transaction, we expect to invest at record levels in our growth areas of 5G and fiber, where we have strong momentum," AT&T Chief Executive Officer John Stankey said in a statement.
Warner Bros Discovery's portfolio includes Discovery Channel, Warner Bros. Entertainment, CNN, HBO, Cartoon Network; streaming services Discovery+ and HBO Max; and franchises like "Batman" and "Harry Potter".
A top priority for David Zaslav, the long-time Discovery veteran leading the combined entity, is to make streaming video as profitable as the old TV business, analysts said.
Discovery On Thursday announced the executive team to lead the new Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), leaning heavily on a trusted group of lieutenants, many of whom have worked with its chief executive since his days at NBC.
Nine high-level WarnerMedia executives, including Chief Executive Jason Kilar and Studios and Network chief Ann Sarnoff, announced their exits ahead of the formation of the combined company earlier this week. (Reporting by Eva Mathews and Yuvraj Malik in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Mike Gibbons, a leading Republican Senate candidate from Ohio, said at a media event last fall that middle-class Americans don't pay “any kind of a fair share” of income taxes.
“The top 20% of earners in the United States pay 82% of federal income tax — and, if you do the math, and 45% to 50% don’t pay any income tax, you can see the middle class is not really paying any kind of a fair share, depending on how you want to define it,” Gibbons said.
The comments by Gibbons, a millionaire investment banker from Cleveland, were made in a September episode of "The Landscape" podcast by Crain's Cleveland Business. But they could take on new resonance after Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, introduced a governing plan in February that has divided the party over its call to raise taxes on millions of Americans who don't earn enough to pay federal income taxes.
Scott, who leads the Senate Republicans' campaign arm, has said that paying even a small tax would give poor people "skin in the game" to boost their interest and involvement in how tax dollars are spent.
Other leading Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have distanced themselves from Scott's proposal, worried that the prospect of raising taxes on lower-income Americans could prompt election-year attacks from Democrats.
Campaign spokesperson Samantha Cotten said Friday that Gibbons has pledged not to raise taxes on individuals or businesses.
“Mike Gibbons does not support tax increases on any American — and never has,” she said in a statement. “Mike is a businessman, not a career politician and he understands economics and how to implement smart ideas and strategies that will benefit all Americans.”
Yet, ahead of the May 3 primary, Republican rivals are looking to use the comments against Gibbons. One opponent, Republican Mark Pukita, has had it posted on his YouTube page for the last three weeks with the caption "Tax Hike Mike Gibbons."
Asked about the Scott plan during a Republican Senate debate last week, former Ohio Republican chair Jane Timken said she opposes his proposal to raise taxes on the middle class, while “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance said the GOP needs to stand for “middle-class people being able to raise a family and do it on a single income.”
In the video, Gibbons is pictured before a campaign backdrop and criticizes Democrats for advancing an “absolutely false” narrative that “the middle class is getting screwed and the wealthy, the elite, are cheating everybody” because they "need the middle class to win an election.” He says he doesn't have a problem with a "progressive tax system structure" but notes that the wealthy already pay a lot in taxes.
Gibbons asks: “How much of the total tax bill can a very small percentage of the nation pay and still be a democracy?"
Democrats have spent the better part of a decade pushing for higher taxes on top earners and will likely do so again this year.
President Joe Biden included a "Billionaire Minimum Income Tax" in his 2023 budget proposal. In announcing the tax proposal, the Democrat asserted that "a firefighter and a teacher pay more than double" the tax rate that a billionaire pays.
According an analysis of 2019 Internal Revenue Service data, the most recent available, by the fiscally conservative Tax Foundation, the top 10% of Americans earn 47.3% of reported income and pay 70.9% of the income taxes. The bottom 50% of American wage earners report 11.5% of the income and pay 3.1% of the taxes. That leaves the middle 40% of Americans earning 41.2% of the income and paying 26.1% of the income taxes.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a left-leaning think tank, argues that such figures do not reflect considerable amounts of wealth among high-income Americans that are shielded from taxation or are taxed at lower rates than wage earners.

'Andrew still has a lot to give': Disgraced duke STILL wants to return to public life, insist friends, who say he 'CAN be rehabilitated' despite £12million rape case payout to Virginia Roberts
- Prince Andrew still wants to return to role in public life, royal insiders have said
- Some claim the disgraced royal 'has a lot to give to people who will let him give'
- It comes after his high-profile appearance at Prince Phillip's memorial service
Prince Andrew still has ambitions of returning to public life even after the furious fallout from his remarkable stunt at Prince Philip's memorial and his £12million rape case payout to accuser Virginia Roberts, it has been claimed.
Sources close to the disgraced duke insisted last night that he 'still has a lot to give to people who will let him' despite sparking a massive backlash when he escorted his mother the Queen down Westminster Abbey last month.
Andrew's reputation already lay in ruins after he paid Jeffrey Epstein 'sex slave' Virginia Roberts Giuffre a reported £12million to settle allegations of sexual abuse out of court - allegations that he always denied.
But the duke sparked yet more controversy days by issuing a now-deleted 700-word statement about the Falklands War that was signed off as 'HRH', despite Buckingham Palace saying he would no longer use the title.
Aides told The Times that the duke was taken aback by the level of hostility to the post, and is now trying to carve out a new role in public life once again in the belief he still has more to offer.
However, another royal insider says the duke's potential comeback is not likely given Prince Charles' stance, who is 'less sympathetic' to circumstances regarding his role in the public eye.
Following his high-profile public appearance at Prince Philip's memorial service, some insiders say Prince Andrew 'can still do a lot of good'
Andrew still wants to return to public life and 'his belief that he can be of service remains undimmed', sources close to him have said
'He [Andrew] is clearly in an awful place. If you read it (the Instagram post), it was incredibly personal, and incredibly thoughtful', a source close to the Duke of York told the newspaper.
'Even the reaction to that...here he was as a veteran sharing something deeply personal on this important anniversary - it was surprising that it couldn't be read as what it was.
'There are rightfully some questions of him but there is rarely a balanced judgment of him in the media. He has a lot to give to people who will let him give.'
The duke, 62, wrote more than 700 words about his experience in the Falklands in posts on his ex-wife's Instagram account on Saturday - before they were hurriedly taken down.
Andrew flew missions as a Sea King helicopter pilot during the conflict and recalled being shot at. But Buckingham Palace and the duke's aides were unaware he had published the posts, it was claimed.
The musings were initially signed off as 'written by HRH The Duke of York', despite the Queen having stripped Andrew of his honorary military titles in January following the dramatic fallout from his civil sex case.
At the time, a royal source said Andrew, who was born a HRH, would no longer use it in any official capacity.
The 'HRH' was removed from the posts, before the reflection was deleted in its entirety two hours later.
Andrew denied being a close friend of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in a legal response to Virginia Giuffre, to whom he paid £12million to settle a US civil sexual assault case
In the first Instagram post, Sarah wrote: 'I asked Andrew this morning for his reflections on the anniversary of his sailing from Portsmouth to the Falkland Islands 40 years ago.'
Andrew's account began: 'As I sit here at my desk on this cold crisp spring morning thinking back to April 1982 I've tried to think what was going through my mind as we sailed out of Portsmouth lining the flight deck of HMS INVINCIBLE.'
It concluded: 'So whilst I think back to a day when a young man went to war, full of bravado, I returned a changed man.
'I put away childish things and false bravado and returned a man full in the knowledge of human frailty and suffering.
'My reflection makes me think even harder and pray even more fervently for those in conflict today, for those family's (sic) torn apart by the horrors they have witnessed.
'And, i'm (sic) afraid to say, that the historical perspective my short war has taught me is this – war is failure to keep peace; war is failure of human judgement; war is failure to recognise we need to seek permission to understand another persons perspective or reality, whether or not we agree or disagree with that perspective or reality.'
Andrew also recalled being shot at, writing: 'I was flying and saw a chaff shell fired from one of our ships that passed not that far in front of us.
'For a moment it was on a steady bearing before it began to cross to our left.
'The terror that that was going to be that, just for a moment, has had a lasting and permanent effect on me.'

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Austin Slater doubled with two outs in the 10th inning for his first career walkoff RBI, sending the San Francisco Giants past the Miami Marlins 6-5 on Friday in an opening-day nail-biter.
Thairo Estrada hit a tying home run to start the bottom of the ninth off Anthony Bender. Then Slater came through against Anthony Bass (0-1), scoring Darin Ruf. It marked San Francisco's first walkoff win on opening day since beating the Padres on April 6, 1987, at Candlestick Park.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. put Miami ahead with a two-run homer with one out in the top of the ninth as the Marlins capitalized against San Francisco's bullpen once Logan Webb left the game.
Jacob Stallings homered in the eighth and delivered an RBI single in the ninth off closer Camilo Doval to fuel Miami's rally. Close defeats are nothing new for these Marlins: Their 29 one-run losses in 2021 matched a franchise record, also done in 1998 and 2014.
José Álvarez (1-0) recorded the final out of the 10th.
After Joey Wendle walked to begin the seventh and Webb came out, Stallings greeted Dominic Leone with a two-run drive.
Brandon Belt rode into the ballpark on a trailored boat with his signature captain hat on in a festive pregame scene, threw out the ceremonial first pitch then delivered an insurance home run in the eighth inning. It didn't hold.
Rookie catcher Joey Bart also homered, his first in the majors, to back Webb's latest impressive performance.
Webb allowed five hits, struck out three and walked one, leaving to a standing ovation in the seventh wrapping up his first career opening day start. Bart earned the nod behind the plate from manager Gabe Kapler. The catcher was the second overall pick in the 2018 draft.
Webb, 11-0 over 23 starts since losing last May 5 at Colorado, has emerged as the No. 1 starter for the reigning NL West champion Giants. At 25 years and 141 days, the right-hander became the youngest Giants pitcher to start opening day since Madison Bumgarner was 24 years, 242 days old in 2014.
San Francisco won a franchise-record 107 games last season to edge the rival Dodgers for the division only to lose to Los Angels in a thrilling five-game NL Division Series. They played that series without their emotional leader, Belt, after he broke his left thumb when hit by a pitch squaring to bunt Sept. 26 at Colorado.
Belt, who turns 34 on April 20, batted .274 with a career-high 29 homers and 59 RBIs then signed an $18 million, one-year contract for 2022.
Belt and shortstop Brandon Crawford each made their 11th career opening day starts, tying Robby Thompson for most in San Francisco history.
Belt and Ruf hit RBI singles in the third against Sandy Alcántara. The righty made his third career opening day start and became only the third pitcher in Marlins history to start three consecutive opening days — joining Josh Johnson (2010-2012) and Josh Beckett (2003-05).
Alcantara struck out four and walked five over five innings. He is 0-2 lifetime against the Giants over six appearances and five starts.
TRAINER'S ROOM

PHENIX CITY, Ala. (WRBL) – A man walked into a jail in Alabama Thursday afternoon and stunned authorities by announcing that he wanted to confess to a murder before trying to escape, according to Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor.
Anthony Jackson, 33, is now locked up in the Russell County Jail facing capital murder charges in the 2019 drive-by-shooting death of 27-year-old Beionca Bolden, authorities told Nexstar’s WRBL.
Deputies said Jackson had a gun on him when he walked into the jail and made his confession, resulting in further charges.
“I have never seen this happen in 35 years of law enforcement,” Sheriff Taylor said.
Jackson was taken to the agency’s investigative building. Phenix City Police were called when investigators realized their officers had been working the fatal shooting case.
In addition to the capital murder charges, Jackson is facing gun charges for promoting prison contraband and possession by a convicted felon.
At some point, Jackson tried to escape, Taylor said, leading to an escape charge.
Bolden was shot inside a Phenix City home as she held her baby on June 10, 2019, family members said.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Rick Chancey says his office is still investigating and is not sure if he will seek the death penalty against Jackson. It is a capital charge now because police believe Bolden was killed by a bullet shot from a vehicle.
“It is still an active investigation,” Chancey said. “We are trying to confirm the facts of what he confessed to. We want to make sure that what he said he did, he did. But so far what he’s telling us is adding up.”

If you watch Nets basketball, you come to one glaring realization: With Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on the floor the majority of the minutes, this is an isolation-heavy team.
As they should be, but it’s become increasingly clear in recent games that the Nets can’t rely on the greatness of their two scorers alone if they want to win a championship this season or beyond. Celtics head coach Ime Udoka pointed it out ahead of a March 6 Boston victory over the Nets.
“I know their game,” the ex-Nets assistant said. “It’s not about their sets, offensively. It’s about who they are. They’re not running anything complicated. It’s get them the ball and let them do what they do.”
It’s easy to fall into the isolation trap when you have two talents as gifted as Irving and Durant, each of whom are under Hall of Fame consideration in large part due to their ability to generate offense in the face of the most creative defensive schemes opposing coaching staffs can concoct.
Iso-ball, however, can only get you so far. To win big, the Nets need to play offense on a string, just like they strive to play defense: all five players moving in synchronization.
“Yeah, I think we’re an isolation-heavy team because [Kevin and Kyrie are] so gifted, but that’s not the plan,” head coach Steve Nash said on Friday. “The plan is to get into as many actions as possible, and hopefully it takes one and we’re in the paint, and we get a good look.”
Nash said sometimes it can look like Irving and Durant are taking turns with the basketball, and indeed, to the naked eye it does. The two have combined to use more than 60% of the team’s offensive possessions since the Feb. 10 James Harden trade, which makes sense when you consider the two combine for 45% of the payroll.
It makes even more sense when you consider Joe Harris has been with a severely injured ankle since Nov. 14 and Ben Simmons has yet to make his Nets debut since arriving on Feb. 10 via the Harden deal.
The Nets, oftentimes, don’t have much more action to run other than get Durant or Irving the ball and get out of the way.
But that’s not good basketball, and as the Nets continue to get healthy leading into the play-in tournament and, they hope, a first-round playoff appearance, they will need to continue adding additional wrinkles into their offense.
Which will be a difficult task given the reality of their season, but a task that must be tackled head-on nonetheless.
The plan, as Nash said, is indeed to build a more complicated offense, but this is a team that has featured more than 40 different starting lineups, a team forced to endure a blockbuster trade midseason when Harden – the roster’s chief playmaker – forced his way to Philly for another playmaker who has yet to make his debut in Brooklyn. The Nets aren’t whole. In fact, they just waived James Johnson, who played backup point guard and Swiss Army knife as a reserve for most of the season.
The Nets, though, are going to continue working on that offense, even if they’re working on it through the play-in into the first round of the playoffs.
“We want to continue to bring players in the actions so that we give the defense decisions to make, we ask questions of the defense, we see if they make a mistake or we create a slight advantage instead of just all watching them,” Nash said. “But when (Durand and Irving) move it back and forth, that is ball movement anyways. It’s not like just because they only passed it to each other, that possession is bad. Sometimes that’s all it takes to shift the defense and now we’ve created a small advantage.”
Nash pointed to the second half of the team’s victory against the Knicks on Wednesday as proof a high level of ball movement and offensive action is indeed possible. The Knicks built a 21-point lead and had the Nets on the verge of their most disappointing loss in a season full of disappointing losses before Brooklyn turned on the jets in the second half. The Nets are continuing to learn each other, and time is not on their side.
But then again, that’s what Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are for: When an offensive action breaks down, you can always lean on your superstar scorers to get a bucket.
“It’s a work in progress,” Nash said. “This group’s not played too many games together, so trying to get deeper into our philosophy takes time, but I think the second half in New York was a glimpse of some of the positivity and productivity of that mindset versus the first half where it was the opposite.”

SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) – An aging high rise condo along Sarasota’s Bayfront will soon see enhancements. 101 Condominium, formerly known as Dolphin Tower, was built in 1974.
The condo building has a history of structural issues. Back in 2010, residents had to be evacuated after a main concrete slab holding up most of the building failed. Residents were allowed back in for several years.
“One of the things that was identified about eight years ago in our garage was some structural issues where the garage deck meets the columns. About two years ago, we did a design to correct this problem, and later that year we passed the special assessment to pay for it. Then we put out for a bid and we engaged the contractor earlier this year,” explained President of 101 Condominium Association Jim Toale.
The 18-month project underway is priced at about $3 million for exterior waterproofing, removing and replacing stucco, and changing the overall look of the building. About $900,000 of that project is dedicated to the structural improvements to the parking garage.
“The goal of this project is to support the slabs where they meet the columns. Most of the repair will be done by attaching steel collars to the tops of the columns. For the perimeter, new concrete beams will be poured across the entire length of the building and then those will be tied into the slabs where those beams are holding up the slam from above, rather than trying to hold it up from below,” explained Toale.
The project is being described as ‘routine maintenance’.
“This process all started before the collapse of Champlain Tower South so we were ahead of the curve, but in retrospect, yes, it needs to be done and now is really when it should be done,” said Toale.
Residents will not be displaced during the garage project. However, the seven commercial tenants will have to vacate their properties for up to six months.
Owner of Burke Antiques on Palm Avenue tells 8 On Your Side she just learned she’d have to move all of her inventory in the last few weeks..
“We want to make money. It is our livelihood and we all have to leave and what, find someplace else,” questioned Cheryl Burke. “I’ve had a lot of businesses in my life and when you move your business, you lose 50% of its sales for the first year and you have to try to re-capture that. 50% does not pay for your expenses,” she continued.
The exact timeline of the project remains unclear. Burke hopes to learn more about when she needs to be out. In the meantime, she remains in limbo, trying to figure out where she’ll set up shop in the meantime.

Which HMB supplement is best?
Building muscle involves a consistent workout routine and proper nutrition, but it can be challenging and take time. Many people use protein shakes and other dietary supplements to help them build muscle more quickly.
Hydroxymethylbutyrate is a chemical produced naturally in your body that has gained popularity as a dietary supplement due to its ability to help build muscle. Supplements such as the Tony Horton PowerLife High Impact Plant Protein Powder With HMB let you consume protein and HMB simultaneously.
What to know before you buy an HMB supplement
What HMB is
HMB is produced when your body breaks down leucine, one of the building blocks of protein. According to the National Institutes of Health, it improves protein metabolism in those with muscular dystrophy. HMB also helps with strength, power, muscle damage, mass and delayed onset muscle soreness in athletes. That’s why it’s a popular supplement for building muscle and preventing muscle loss.
How you take an HMB supplement
Many HMB supplements come in capsules. If you have trouble swallowing pills, it’s essential to consider the size of the capsule when choosing an HMB supplement. HMB also can be purchased in powder form and consumed with your protein shake or smoothie. In some cases, you can buy supplements that contain protein and HMB.
HMB vs. creatine
Athletes use both HMB and creatine, and many use them together. But there are minor differences in their effects. HMB is used to prevent muscle breakdown and support muscle recovery. Creatine is primarily used to boost muscle growth.
What to look for in a quality HMB supplement
Flavor
Many powdered HMB supplements come in vanilla or chocolate. In some cases, they taste chalky even after being blended into a shake. Still, in many cases the flavor is comparable to that of traditional protein powder.
Effectiveness and safety
These supplements can be relatively pricey, so before buying, read the reviews and ensure people noticed improvements after using the one you’re considering for several weeks . HMB isn’t known to have serious side effects, but it’s also good to ensure people didn’t feel bad after taking a particular supplement.
Additional ingredients
HMB is more effective when taken with vitamin D3 or creatine. Many supplements contain both HMB and one of these, so you won’t have to take as many supplements each day. If you plan to use HMB after working out, consider buying a supplement that contains protein to boost muscle recovery.
Also, check the bottle to ensure that other ingredients won’t cause you problems, either ethically or physically. Some contain gelatin or HMB derived from animals, and not all are gluten-free.
How much you can expect to spend on HMB supplements
You can expect to spend anywhere from $22-$40 on a 3-month supply of capsules. HMB powder with protein costs $50-$60 for a 2-week supply.
HMB supplement FAQ
Can you take HMB without exercise?
A. According to the NIH, HMB combined with vitamin D3 enhanced muscle strength and physical function in adults without the need for exercise.
What foods have HMB?
A. HMB is present in many meats, vegetables and fruits, specifically alfalfa and catfish. Still, there is significantly higher concentration in HMB supplements.
Is HMB good for older adults?
A. There are conflicting reports on HMB use by older populations, but many consumers agree that these supplements are effective in older people when taken with vitamin D3.
Does HMB increase testosterone?
A. That’s unclear. According to the NIH, people who used both HMB and creatine were found to have increased testosterone levels after 10 weeks of supplementation. There aren’t any notable studies on testosterone levels before and after taking HMB by itself.
What’s the best HMB supplement to buy?

Which air mattress is best for travel?
There are many types of air mattress, since if you’re buying one for the periodic houseguest you won’t have the same needs as if you want one for travel.
When it comes to travel, it’s important to consider size and weight, especially if you’ll be carrying the air mattress for long periods. Durability and comfort also need to be factored in. The last thing you want is an air mattress you have trouble sleeping on, or which pops in the middle of the night.
What to look for when buying an air mattress for travel
Comfort
A good night’s rest is as important when traveling as it is at home. This means comfort should be top priority when choosing an air mattress. Consider the amount of support it offers, the material the sleeping surface is made from, and its height.
Portability
How much portability matters depends on how you’ll be traveling and where you’ll be staying. If hiking long distances to a campsite, you’ll want an air mattress that’s lightweight and compact when deflated, but if driving right up to a campsite, you have more leeway (though you still need to be aware of how much room you have in your tent). If staying at a friend’s house, you can opt for the largest, plushest double-height air mattress, since neither weight nor size will be of much concern.
Inflation method
Many air mattresses have a built-in pump that makes inflating them easy. Some also feature a pressure-monitoring system so they can automatically add a little extra air throughout the night when needed. Bargain-priced models often require an external electric air pump, which they may — or may not — come with.
Both of these require a power source. If you are taking the air mattress camping and don’t want to lug along a generator or batteries, choose a low-volume model you can inflate by mouth or with a manual air pump.
Pillow rest
One of the most common complaints about sleeping on an air mattress is pillows slipping off during the night. Flocked tops help to some degree, but don’t eliminate the problem. To further solve it, some air mattresses have a small raised section near the head that helps keep pillows in place.
Common air mattress questions
How do I clean an air mattress?
A. Start by using a handheld vacuum to get rid of crumbs, dust and other debris that may have collected on its flocked surface. Next, wipe down the smooth plastic material with a cloth dampened with a bit of rubbing alcohol.
Why does my air mattress deflate at night?
A. Many people assume their air mattress is leaking when it deflates a bit during the night. While this might be true, more often it’s due to the air cooling at night, which reduces the amount of pressure inside. Air mattresses are also designed not to be 100% airtight to prevent them from bursting due to an increase of pressure inside if the temperature gets notably warmer.
The best air mattresses for travel
Best overall air mattress for travel
Thicker and more comfortable than most inflatable sleeping pads, yet less large and heavy than the average air mattress, this is a great choice for just about any type of travel. It’s equipped with a manual air pump and has buttons on the side to connect a second mattress for couples who want to sleep together.
Sold by Amazon
Best air mattress for vehicle travel
Designed to work in the back seat of sedans, multipurpose vehicles and SUVs, this air mattress makes sleeping in cars considerably more comfortable. It’s quite versatile, too, and can also be used as a normal air mattress or a lounger with backrests for two people when placed on a flat surface. It comes with two inflatable pillows, a storage bag and an electric air pump.
Sold by Amazon
Best plush air mattress for travel
Intex 64447ED Dura Beam Fiber Tech Air Mattress
This double-height mattress has a headboard to eliminate the issue of pillows sliding off, and to serve as a backrest when watching TV or reading a book. The heavy-duty, puncture-resistant material can stand up to a lot of wear and tear on the road, but the mattress’ overall size and weight makes it best suited to those traveling by car and sleeping in a large space.
Sold by Amazon
Best air mattress for backpacking
If you are going on a trip where every ounce and inch of space in your backpack counts, this tiny, lightweight sleeping pad is the way to go. It weighs less than a pound, packs down small and can be inflated by mouth in just 10 or 15 breaths.
Sold by Amazon
Best full thickness air mattress for camping
Jeaouia Twin Size Air Mattress
At just 4 pounds, this twin-sized air mattress is one of the best options for campers who want something more comfortable than a thin inflatable sleeping pad. It packs down small and comes at a budget-friendly price.
Sold by Amazon
Best camping cot for travel
Sometimes you want the feeling of a real bed even if you are sleeping in the great outdoors. That’s what this raised cot provides. It sits on a folding frame that features a side table and cup holder, and it inflates with the included battery-operated electric pump.
Sold by Amazon
Best kids air mattress for travel
Sleepah Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed
Children are notorious for tossing and turning at night, which can lead to them rolling out of a bed. With this toddler bed, that won’t be a concern, because it has guard rails that run down both sides. It even comes with a small matching inflatable pillow and a plush toy.

(NEXSTAR) – Two airline passengers accused of assaulting crew members and fellow passengers face two of the largest fines ever proposed, the Federal Aviation Administration announced Friday.
The FAA said it will levy penalties of $81,950 and $77,272, respectively, against the unnamed passengers.
The first passenger was flying from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, to Charlotte, North Carolina on July 7, 2021 when the FAA says the woman fell while she was out of her seat during the flight. She then allegedly threatened to hurt a flight attendant who offered help, shoved the flight attendant aside and tried to open the cabin door.
When two other flight attendants tried to restrain her, she allegedly struck one on the head repeatedly. The crew managed to get her in zip-tie style restraints, but the woman “spit at, headbutted, bit and tried to kick the crew and other passengers,” the FAA said. Officers arrested her after the plane landed in Charlotte.
Another female passenger, who faces a $77,272 fine, was flying Delta from Las Vegas to Atlanta on July 16, 2021 when the FAA says she tried to hug and kiss the passenger next to her. She’s also accused of walking to the front of the aircraft and trying to leave the airplane mid-flight.
The crew had to restrain her after she allegedly bit another passenger multiple times.
“If you are on an airplane, don’t be a jerk and don’t endanger the flight crews and fellow passengers. If you do, you will be fined by the FAA,” U.S. Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg told The View Friday.
The passengers must respond within 30 days after receiving the FAA’s letter.
The fines are part of the roughly $2 million in proposed penalties the FAA announced Jan. 1.

Ex-officer testifies against mentor at Capitol riot trial
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Virginia police officer who pleaded guilty to storming the U.S. Capitol with another off-duty officer testified on Thursday that he had hoped the mob could overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election that day.
Former Rocky Mount police officer Jacob Fracker, a key witness for federal prosecutors at the trial of former colleague Thomas Robertson, said he initially believed that he was merely trespassing when he entered the Capitol building.
However, Fracker ultimately pleaded guilty to a felony charge that he conspired with Robertson to obstruct Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s electoral victory on Jan. 6, 2021. Fracker agreed to cooperate with federal authorities in their case against Robertson, whose jury trial started Tuesday.
Under cross-examination by one of Robertson’s lawyers, Fracker said he didn’t have a “verbal agreement” with anybody to obstruct the joint session of Congress. Fracker said he believed everybody in the mob “pretty much had the same goal” and didn’t need for it to be “said out loud.”
Fracker said he and Robertson both believed the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from former President Donald Trump. One of Robertson’s attorneys, Mark Rollins, asked Fracker if he believes he did anything worse than trespassing on Jan. 6.
“Sitting here today, yes. At the time, no,” Fracker replied.
Robertson confirmed with U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper that he won’t be testifying at his trial.
Prosecutors rested their case on Thursday afternoon. Jurors are expected to hear attorneys’ closing arguments on Friday before they begin deliberating.
During the trial’s opening statements, defense attorney Camille Wagner told jurors that Robertson only went into the Capitol because he wanted to retrieve Fracker, who entered the Capitol a few minutes before Robertson.
Wagner said Robertson, whom she called “T.J.,” knew that he had entered restricted areas of the Capitol where he wasn’t supposed to be on Jan. 6. But he isn’t accused of engaging in any violence or property destruction, she noted.
Fracker was scheduled to be tried alongside Robertson before he pleaded guilty last month. He described Robertson as his mentor and a father figure.
“I absolutely hate this,” Fracker testified on Wednesday. “I’ve always been on the other side of things, the good guys’ side so to speak.”
The town fired Robertson and Fracker after the riot. Prosecutors say Robertson paid Fracker more than $30,000 after they were arrested. Robertson first offered to give Fracker money on the day that they surrendered to authorities, according to a court filing accompanying Fracker’s guilty plea.
Fracker said Robertson also agreed to cover his legal fees, but he doesn’t believe Robertson was trying to “buy” his testimony with the $30,000 payment.
“He said it would cover a year’s salary for me,” Fracker said.
After the riot, Fracker bragged to friends on social media that he had urinated in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bathroom. That was a lie that he made “for cool points,” Fracker said.
Robertson used a large wooden stick to impede police officers who were trying to hold off the mob, according to prosecutors. Police body camera video captured his interaction with police.
When a prosecutor asked Fracker why he didn’t do more to help police officers who were trying to hold back the mob, he said he thought they should have been “on our side” and marching with the rioters.
“And you didn’t see T.J. help them, either?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower asked.
“Correct,” Fracker said.
Robertson is charged with six counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building while using a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. Five of the counts relate to his actions on Jan. 6. The sixth stems from his alleged post-riot destruction of cellphones belonging to him and Fracker.
Robertson has been jailed since Cooper ruled in July that he violated the terms of his pretrial release by possessing firearms.
More than 770 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot. Over 240 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors.
Robertson is the second Capitol riot defendant to have a jury trial. The first ended last month with a jury convicting a Texas man, Guy Reffitt, of all charges.
Two other Capitol riot defendants elected to have their cases tried without a jury and decided by the same federal judge. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden acquitted a New Mexico man, Matthew Martin, of all four misdemeanor counts with which he was charged. Last month, McFadden convicted New Mexico elected official Couy Griffin of illegally entering restricted Capitol grounds but acquitted him of engaging in disorderly conduct.

One of my most tragic experiences I have ever faced was the time my family along with three other families planned a well-deserved trip to South Australia after spending a century in quarantine. As soon as my brother and I heard this, our smiles lit up the whole house. It had been ages since we had been on vacation. We dashed back to our rooms and got straight to packing. Our first week in South Australia went by within a blink of an eye. We visited various little islands, beaches, caves, and parks and even went fishing and returned home with a blue whale! Everything seemed to be going just as planned.
On the second last day in South Australia, we decided to end our trip by visiting a small remote beach which was quite calm and tranquil. As soon as I got out of the car, I had to squint to see the ant-sized people crawling up the tall mountain and the blood-orange sunset casting a gold-like reflection upon the ocean of the beach. The waves rolled along the shore in a graceful, gentle rhythm as if dancing with the land. Excitedly, I scurried down the steep, unstable stairs like a squirrel and was greeted by a village of charcoal-black eroded rock, nearly the size of me.
I smelt the fresh, salty air, whilst listening to the opera of the sea, seagulls swimming in the air and the tranquil waves washing upon the shore. I gazed for hours while my feet seared and was buried by the coarse sand. Still not awaken from this beauty, I waddled myself closer to shore, ignoring my mum warning me to shuffle away from the rocks.
I noticed the bouncy sand beneath me and started examining the ground whilst letting the icy cool water wash over my muddy feet. Out of a sudden, I felt a needle-like pain stab me through my left leg. My lightning-speed reflexes dashed into action as my eyes scanned my legs for any objects. To my horror, there was a horrendous four inch creature sitting there on my leg. It was a gnarly, four eyed black beast which had scared my soul away from my body. I immediately wacked the creature off my legs with my hands and stood there paralysed with shock and fear. I started yelling at the top of my lungs so loudly, I had caused an earthquake! My throat was bleeding from screaming and everything went downhill. I stood there screaming for half an hour, continuously getting flashbacks from the creature I had just witnessed. My arachnophobia could not get any worse. Eventually, my dad had to call the ambulance as I noticed some swelling on my leg and started feeling sick and nauseous.
The ambulance came within a millisecond and my dad carried me all the way back up the stairs of Mount Everest. The paramedic took me on a stretcher and applied emergency pain relief which made me seem drunk. It numbed my brain so that I could not feel the pain from the bite and had the same effect of anaesthesia. I was on cloud nine, enjoying my life while I was in an ambulance. I started asking silly questions to random people, making awkward faces and acting drunk. All of a sudden, it had felt like a 12 year old was consuming alcohol. Since my parents did not know the side effects of the pain relief, they thought it was a side effect of the bite and started panicking even more.
However, the paramedics assured my parents everything was under control. While I was leaping over rainbows in my happy mind, the doctors at the hospital examined my bite and concluded that it was most likely an octopus or the spider crab. Luckily none of them was too infectious however, I was told to dash into the emergency room if rashes started to appear several days later. We returned back to Melbourne the next day and thankfully, I was in perfect condition and my bite disappeared.
From my experience, I have learnt to always listen to warnings from my family members. In this situation I did not follow my mum's warning to stay away from the rocks. By listening to her, I could have avoided this entire problematic situation. Additionally, I should also look for hazard signs and danger signs to see which areas should be prohibited to enter. Another thing I also learnt is to stick with my family members to lower the chance of getting lost. Overall, my experience was pretty hectic and I will certainly try my best to avoid this situation and look out for others who are in danger.

The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in the Central region has said the menace of illegal mining (galamsey) continues to militate ruthlessly against its operations in the region, particularly at their intake points.
Mr Kwasi Abrebrese, the Regional Chief Manager of the Company, claimed that galamsey was now more rampant than it was in the past and the company struggled to extract water for treatment at some production plants due to the extremely muddy state of the water source.
He was addressing the media in Cape Coast after a closed door stakeholder meeting with the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) following a similar meeting between the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Commission.
The meetings were part of the Commission’s stakeholders’ engagement with utility providers and consumers in the region to assess their performance and identify and improve areas of challenges.
“In a dire situation, you may not get enough water to even extract before you start the production process. So, for some of our production centres, there is no water to produce. For some, we even must do desilting at the edges of the intake to create more room for the volumes to build up,” Mr Abrebrese said.
He explained that GWCL was forced by the situation to introduce more chemicals in the water, albeit cautiously, to keep water flowing to its customers, adding to its production cost.
According to the GWCL Regional Chief Manager, production was always interrupted for maintenance works due to the filth in the water that clocked their machines, citing Sekyereheman as the most affected.
“So, we must break production and clean our filters before we restart production. When you should have done 24 hours of continuous pumping, you may have to do 12 hours or less,” he noted.
The acute water shortage in some parts of the Central Region and the brownish water that flows through people’s pipes in some communities have been an issue of major concern to many.
Mr Abrebrese, therefore, called for a concerted efforts by citizens and government to combat the canker to forestall a looming water crisis in the country.
“We will be glad if we see all of ourselves as stakeholders in ensuring that a day will not come that Ghana will import water. We are praying that citizens should promptly report so that we fight some of these things which may, eventually, affect the whole country,” he appealed.
Dr Ishmael Ackah, Executive Secretary, PURC addressing the challenges raised by GWCL, advised the company to engage the public on galamsey to develop localised strategies to get quality water.
For areas without water at all, he encouraged GWCL to expedite its provision and installation of reservoirs in such areas for them to get reliable supply of water.
To deal with overbilling and its attendant drama with consumers, Dr Ackah urged the water providers to meter all customers to resolve the situation.
On the operation of ECG, Dr Ackah observed that aside from illegal connections, burnt poles due to agricultural activities was a key problem sending the investment of ECG in the region down the drain.
He observed that the burning of poles affected electricity services to many communities and implored citizens to desist from the act, adding that it was their collective responsibility to protect the poles and the metres.
“When ECG does the wrong thing, report to us and we are going to engage them and make sure they deliver the service.”
He urged consumers to be alive to their civic responsibility of protecting government property for their own good.
Dr Ackah said that the PURC had invested in availing platforms to make reporting easier and increase its monitoring to make customers get the best of services.
Mr Emmanuel Ankomah, the Central General Manager of ECG, who identified revenue collection as a challenge, indicated that they had set up a taskforce to go after people who had connected power illegally and urged culprits to stop the practice or be dealt with when caught.
The company, he revealed had grabbed few perpetrators, educated them, made them to pay their bills and regularise their connection.
Mr Ankomah also advised customers to desist from procuring the services of unqualified electricians for wiring to prevent disasters.

Which path lights are best?
Nothing adds warmth and curb appeal to the front of your house like a good set of path lights. Whether you opt for wired ones or go for the ease and versatility of solar lights, a well-lit path makes your home look clean and well cared for.
When you’re looking for easy-to-install, attractive path lights that won’t break the bank, Solpex 8-Pack Solar Pathway Lights are the top choice.
What to know before you buy path lights
Solar vs. wired
You can either wire your path lights into your existing electrical system or place lights that get their energy from the sun.
- Electric lights tend to have a longer life and brighter light, but add the cost and time of wiring them into your home’s electrical system. Even if you only have to plug them in, you have to devise a way to get the wire from them to the outlet, making sure no one will trip on it and no unsightly wires are visible.
- Solar lights are much easier to install, but tend to give fainter light that is dependent on getting enough sun. In the winter, this may mean that your path lights will look faint or won’t light up.
Their lumen rating
A path light’s lumen rating indicates how bright it is. A 10-lumen light casts a faint glow, while a 40-lumen light offers real light for a dark area.
Whether the light they emit is warm or cool
- Warm light can add an air of romance to the walk. It’s best suited for classic-style homes such as colonials, Victorians and Queen Annes.
- Cool light adds a modern, fresh air and looks great in front of newer houses, or those with large windows or more angular architecture.
What to look for in quality path lights
A great pattern on the glass
Wavy glass or a fun art deco stain will add visual interest to your path beyond just adding illumination. So if you like something more than just light, look for path lights with patterned glass or framing to cast interesting shadows.
The right height
Tall lanterns look best near plantings and flowers while shorter path lights look great near grass. You may also opt for in-ground lights that shine upward near grass or other ground covering to add a glow without a visible path light.
Durability
Spending a little more to get a set of solid-construction lights will save on the replacement cost of less expensive but easily broken ones. If you live in a region with heavy winters and significant snowfall — and you don’t take your lights in for the winter — buy a sturdier variety.
How much you can expect to spend on path lights
An inexpensive set of solar path lights can cost around $25, with a sturdier, wired set running around $80-$100.
Path lights FAQ
How long will solar path lights last?
A. The average life of a solar path light is two to six years, with sturdier, more expensive brands lasting longer. To extend your lights’ life, bring them in during extreme weather and keep them clean and free of debris.
Do solar lights go dark on rainy days?
A. On average, no. That’s for the same reason you still have to wear sunblock on cloudy days: ultraviolet light still gets through, enough to charge the solar battery. Solar lights even get some charge on winter days, although above a certain latitude, that charge is faint and will not power the light through the whole night.
What are the best path lights to buy?
Top path lights
What you need to know: They create a fun, interesting pattern of light on your walkway that adds visual interest.
What you’ll love: Unless you have a very long walkway, this eight-light set gives you enough sturdy, attractive lights to illuminate it all. The snowflake pattern is fun and easily seen from the street. Installation is as easy as turning on the switch and using the enclosed stakes to put them in the ground.

Toppin scores 35, Knicks rout Wizards 114-92
WASHINGTON (AP) - Obi Toppin scored a career-high 35 points, and the New York Knicks beat the Washington Wizards 114-92 on Friday night.
RJ Barrett scored 14 points for the Knicks before leaving the game with a sprained right knee. His early exit came on a night when a number of key players from both teams didn't play at all. Both teams are eliminated from playoff contention. New York (36-45) moved a game ahead of Washington (35-46) for 11th place in the Eastern Conference.
The Knicks allowed the game's first 10 points and shot just 2 of 9 from 3-point range in the first quarter, but they dominated after that. New York was 14 of 30 from long distance the rest of the way.
The Knicks took control when they outscored Washington 36-19 in the second quarter to lead 59-50 at halftime.
New York scored the final six points of the first half on a dunk and then a four-point play by Toppin. Then the Knicks scored the first 13 of the third quarter. Toppin capped the run with two more 3-pointers to make it 72-50.
Rui Hachimura led the Wizards with 21 points. Immanuel Quickley had 23 points and 10 assists for New York.

DID NOT PLAY
The Wizards have been without Bradley Beal (left wrist) for more than two months, and Kyle Kuzma (right knee) was out for a 12th straight game. Kristaps Porzingis (right knee) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) did not play either.
Coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Kuzma, Porzingis and Caldwell-Pope will also miss the team's finale at Charlotte.
New York was without Julius Randle (right quadriceps tendon) for a fourth straight game. The Knicks have also been without Nerlens Noel (left foot), Cam Reddish (right shoulder), Derrick Rose (right ankle) and Kemba Walker. Quentin Grimes (right knee) and Mitchell Robinson (non-COVID illness) each missed a second straight game.
TIP-INS
Knicks: Toppin's previous career high was 20 points.
Wizards: Washington was blown out despite shooting 51% from the field. The Wizards had 22 turnovers, which led to 33 New York points.
UP NEXT
Knicks: Host Toronto on Sunday night.
Wizards: At Charlotte on Sunday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has 30 points, Bucks rout Pistons
DETROIT (AP) - Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to help the Milwaukee Bucks rout the Detroit Pistons 131-101 on Friday night.
"I knew I had to be aggressive and play downhill tonight," Antetokounmpo said. "Even when we had the big lead, I kept going, because this is the time of year when you build good habits. Now isn't the time to cheat the game."
Averaging 29.9 points, Antetokounmpo needs 35 points or more Sunday in the season finale at Cleveland to join Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only Milwaukee players to average 30 points for a season.
"What is huge for us is that Giannis scores of all his points without knocking himself out on double teams," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "When he sees an opportunity to find an open teammate, he makes the right play. Not every great scorer has that mentality."
Brook Lopez added 17 points, and Khris Middleton had 15. The defending champion Bucks led by 32 points en route to their third straight victory. They improved to 51-30.
"That's a well-oiled machine and they are playing like a championship team," Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. "That's one of the first real stinkers we've played since the All-Star Game, but they make you pay for every mistake you make."

Rodney McGruder had a career-high 26 points for Detroit. Saddiq Bey (20) and Cade Cunningham (14) were the only starters to reach double figures.
"It's fun to play the game and have the opportunity to still play like this," McGruder said. "I know I'm not going to get 24 minutes very often, and the circumstances weren't great, but I made sure to take advantage."
The Pistons missed 15 of their first 16 field-goal attempts, falling behind 23-4. Detroit finished with an NBA-season-low eight points in the first quarter, falling behind by 22.
Milwaukee's defense wasn't quite as sharp in the second quarter, but the Bucks still led 56-38 at the half despite only shooting 41.2% themselves.
"That's a talented team that beat us earlier in the season, so we knew we had to take them seriously," said Bucks guard Wesley Matthews. "We came out and locked in right away, which is great to see on the second half of a back-to-back."
The Bucks moved the margin to 31, 76-44, on Antetokounmpo's three-point play midway through the third quarter, and only McGruder's career night kept the Pistons from being humiliated.
Milwaukee's George Hill left the game with back spasms after scoring 10 points in 16 minutes.
"We will see how he feels tomorrow, but he's really sore right now," Budenholzer said.
TIP INS
Bucks: Milwaukee improved to 13-1 against the Pistons under Budenholzer. The only blemish was Detroit's 115-105 win in Milwaukee on Jan. 3. ... Antetokounmpo reached 2,000 points for the second time in his career. He needs 13 points in the finale to break his current career high of 2,014, set in 2017-18.
Pistons: Detroit's loss guarantees it will finish with fewer than 25 wins for the third straight season - the longest streak in franchise history.

PEARLAND, Texas — A young woman who was raised in a Ukrainian orphanage has spent the last several weeks advocating to bring her sister to the United States.
The Pearland community raised money to send 21-year-old Nastya Boyd to Poland after Russia invaded Ukraine. She was determined to find her sister and nephew after war broke out.
The sisters reunited at the border in Poland, but Kateryna and her 2-year-old son had nowhere to go and no family outside Ukraine, besides Nastya.

Family and friends helped them navigate the process of obtaining a visa, but they quickly learned getting special permission to come to the U.S. could be difficult.
However, everything changed after KHOU 11 News shared their story and Congressman Randy Weber’s office got involved.

Nastya shared their exciting update from Croatia, where they got an appointment with the United States embassy.
“That’s crazy. It got approved. They told us we can all fly together,” said Boyd via zoom. “I’m definitely relieved.”
Nastya, her sister and her nephew will board a flight to Houston next week.
“Our politicians, as amazing as they are, they’re overwhelmed. They’re getting hundreds of requests a day. We’re really grateful for channel 11 supporting us and helping us get their attention. Once they knew we were talking to you guys, they said ok you can stop. You have our attention,” said Stephanie Burleigh, a family friend.
While Nastya is still worried about her family staying to fight in Ukraine, she has peace knowing there are people in Pearland ready to welcome them with open arms.
“Now we don’t have to worry about where is the next place we’re going to stay in Europe? Where is the next stop going to be? How long will it take? For [my sister], I can see she’s finally breathing,” said Nastya.

Diet pills are popular for many reasons, but people prefer using diet pills because they want an effortless weight loss experience. The typical idea of weight loss involves following a restrictive diet and indulging in strenuous exercise. While these two can help in most cases, there are also chances for them to be ineffective, as weight gain reasons vary in every person.
In some cases, even the most famous diet plans fail to work, or it is unaffordable for people to hire a personal trainer or take out time for exercise every day. On the other hand, using diet pills and expecting the body to lose weight on its own sounds easy, plus diet pills cost less than a weight loss surgery, so people prefer to use them.
Exipure is one of the latest additions in the diet pills that are preferred these days. Despite being a new product, it is receiving a warm welcome, mainly because it has helped people achieve their target weight without causing a financial burden. But the risk of trying a new product remains the same, especially for a person who has never tried a dietary supplement before.
How to be sure if it is safe to use? What are its ingredients and where to buy Exipure? Find out all in this Exipure review.

Exipure Review
There are probably thousands of diet pills available in the market, but not all of them are helpful. It is hard to resist and ignore the promises made by these companies, especially when you have tried everything already and are still not able to lose weight. Also, people who are lazy or have busy routines try to look for easier options to lose weight because dieting and exercise require a high commitment. But are there really any products that help lose weight without inducing the adverse effects?
The answer is yes, but you may not find these diet pills lying on a shelf in a superstore. Finding the right weight loss support system is challenging and tedious, but no one should lose heart during this struggle and continue searching for a safer option instead of risking health and money on a shady weight loss supplement.
Exipure is a brand new supplement that is getting popularity for the right reasons. It contains premium herbs inside, each with proven health benefits. Continue reading this Exipure review to know how it melts fat without affecting other body functions.
What is Exipure?
Exipure is a weight loss supplement made of natural ingredients with scientifically proven benefits. It results from years-long research on medicinal plants, hoping to find the best options for natural weight loss. As plants have been used for thousands of years in various treatments, scientists believe some of them can even help against obesity. In this attempt to find these plants, they came up with eight exotic ingredients, each playing a role in shedding unwanted fats.
As mentioned on exipure.com, this supplement works equally well on men, women, and people who identify themselves other than this binary classification. It is a non-prescription formula, but only those who are 18 years and above can use them. Exipure comes in capsule form, and there are 30 of them in each bottle. This one bottle is to be consumed in one month, ideally, and the best results are observed within two to three months.
Although the supplement industry is full of similar products, weight loss with Exipure is unique. It works by changing the typical white fat to brown fat, also called brown adipose fat. The natural ingredients inside this supplement help in this conversion, and the body loses a lot of calories during this conversion. The most important and unique quality of Exipure is that it goes inside the body and targets the main cause of weight gain.

What is Brown Fat and What Makes It ‘Brown’?
The human body is home to two different types of fat, one is white, and the other is brown. The white fat is the one that adds layers to the belly, makes thighs flabby, and overall makes a person look fat. On the other hand, brown fat is a healthy form of fat, which helps maintain the body temperature and keeps the body running with optimum energy levels, even during harsh environmental conditions.
The reason brown fat is called brown is because it appears to be dark, denser, and thicker than white fat. One reason is that the higher number of mitochondria in it makes it appear opaque. And these abundant mitochondria also explain why the burning of brown fat yields such a high amount of energy.
Not just humans but many other mammals also contain brown fat, and the sole purpose of this fat is to convert food to energy. With its unique relation to fat, the scientists led to an innovative method of using it to maintain weight, hopefully leading to a treatment for obesity. The same approach is followed by the Exipure creators, and the satisfied customer reviews reveal it has already achieved its targets.
Exipure Ingredients List
The official website of Exipure mentions eight unique ingredients inside this formula. These ingredients are selected after going through hundreds of studies on each, proving them a suitable choice for this formula. They are obtained from various places, and there is no specific information on each ingredient’s location in particular.
Here is a list of all Exipure ingredients and their effects on the body.
- Perilla: the first name in Exipure ingredients is perilla, also called beefsteak plant. There are so many studies confirming its effect on cholesterol levels, as it balances the HDL and LDL levels and aids in brown fat formation. Some of its compounds also offer cognitive benefits and improve brain-to-body coordination.
- Holy Basil: next is Holy Basil, an ingredient with proven medicinal benefits. It relieves stress, and inflammation, the two biggest triggers of a slow metabolism. It also clears the body from toxins, waste materials, and cellular wastage, maintaining ideal metabolic conditions for the body.
- White Korean Ginseng: Exipure pills also contain Panax ginseng or Korean ginseng, which provides unmatched energy to the body. This energy helps the body run its functions despite losing weight, and there is no lethargic or weak feeling experienced by the body.
- Amur Cork Bark: not as popular as other ingredients, but amur cork bark offers metabolic benefits that make weight loss easy. It eases bloating, diarrhea, cramps, nausea, flatulence, and other conditions that are common in obese people.
- Quercetin: Next on this list is quercetin, an ingredient offering benefits for blood pressure, heart health, and vessel health. Some studies also prove its role in improving immunity, delaying aging, and rejuvenating body cells, keeping them young for a long time.
- Oleuropein: sometimes referred to as Olea Europaea, oleuropein shrinks the fat cells, helping them change to brown adipose tissue while losing a lot of energy used to fuel cellular activities. It further improves cholesterol levels, blood pressure, sugar levels, and lipid profile, preventing many health conditions.
- Berberine: another name in the Exipure ingredients list is berberine, which is loaded with anti-inflammatory antioxidants. It helps clear the body from toxins, removing free radicals and cellular wastes that sometimes hinder metabolism. It supports healthy digestion, and with quercetin, it melts more fat in less time.
- Resveratrol: the last name in Exipure ingredients is resveratrol, an antioxidant commonly found in grapes. It offers a number of health benefits, one of which is to reduce cholesterol levels, prevent plaque formation, and clear toxins.
All these ingredients are obtained from pure quality sources, and nothing among them can cause any side effects in the body.

How Does The Exipure Formula Work?
Gaining weight has become much easier due to the changed lifestyle and dietary habits. Not just adults, but younger and older people are also victims of obesity now, and these trends are increasing each year. The health experts are extremely concerned over these obesity trends, suggesting people shift to a healthier lifestyle. But it is often not an option, and for some reason, people tend to look for shortcuts to make it happen.
Exipure is a weight loss dietary formula created with metabolic-boosting herbs. According to the company, it helps change the white fat cells to brown adipose tissues, making them more useful and healthy for the body. There is a lot of scientific evidence suggesting BAT is linked with obesity. The makers of the Exipure weight loss supplement have used this information and created a formula that uses natural ingredients to raise brown adipose tissue levels.
For people who do not know about brown adipose tissues, it is a type of fat that only activates when the weather is cold. It melts, providing heat to the body, which makes cold temperature tolerable for it.
Do not confuse this brown fat with the regular fat, also called white fat, as it carries more mitochondria in its cells, making this fat melt more energy release. This process burns a large number of calories, keeping the body heated, energized, and inducing weight loss.

What To Expect From Exipure Pills?
Although much of the popularity of Exipure is related to weight loss, it offers much more than this. The phytochemicals and antioxidants inside it are behind a lot of health benefits, and the overall effect is more like a multivitamin supplement.
Here is what to expect from Exipure diet pills.
Increases the BAT levels
A major function of Exipure ingredients is to enhance brown adipose tissue in the body. This brown fat maintains body temperature, even when the surrounding temperature decreases to a very low level. The heat released in the burning of brown fat keeps the body warm and runs all body functions without a pause.
Lowers oxidative stress
High oxidative stress can cause metabolic slowdown and makes the body gain weight. But the presence of basil, ginseng, and amur bark can lower this oxidative stress and help lift the brown adipose tissues.
Stabilizes blood pressure and cholesterol
There is plenty of data suggesting the role of blood pressure, heart function, and cholesterol level on weight loss. If you are trying to lose weight, managing these vitals is necessary, and Exipure ingredients help manage these all.
Improves gut health
In addition to the cardiovascular benefits, Exipure ingredients maintain ideal gastrointestinal health. Within a few days, you will see how the common digestive issues are subsiding; it includes acidity, flatulence, nausea, etc.
Where to Buy Exipure? Price, Discount and Refund Policy

Do not trust any online or local vendor selling Exipure supplement for weight loss. The company has no partners, and there are high chances of other companies using its name to sell their fake products. Always choose the official website over the random online stores to make your purchase.
The actual price of the Exipure supplement is nearly $200, but it has reduced it to $59 only, as a part of promotions, so that more and more people can know about it. You can get it for as low as $39 if you buy today. Here are the complete pricing details.

Although it is better to order only one bottle first and order more later, after using it for a few days. But Exipure may not be available all the time, as it is a popular product with high demand. The company can only manufacture a limited stock, and restocking could take a few months. Therefore, it is better to order three or six bottles to start a weight loss journey. You can always order more bottles when available and continue using them for as long as you need. It is also important to note that Exipure Australia, NZ, Canada, UK, and customers from other countries around the world should also place their orders on the official website mentioned above.
Which Bonus Items Are Included In Exipure Orders?
All bulk orders of Exipure pills come with bonus items that are automatically added to the order. These bonus items are PDF guides suggesting how to make the best use of these pills. Here is a brief description of these guides.
Bonus Guide #1. 1-Day Kickstart Detox
The first guide is a detox book explaining which types of dietary sources can help to lose more weight in less time while using Exipure pills. It is not mandatory to follow, but the detoxification process clears the body from all unwanted compounds making it easy to reach the target weight. It includes the ingredients list to the 20 recipes of detox teas that can be prepared at home, without any fancy ingredients or grocery shopping.

It explains various techniques that are useful to manage daily life stress without going to a therapist. Everything included in this guide is based on scientifically proven facts with direct benefits for adipose tissue metabolism and the cognitive abilities of a person.
Exipure Safety Evaluation
It is wise to evaluate every product before starting to use it, especially if it relates to health. Exipure presents itself as an all-natural formula, and its label verifies it. There are no artificial ingredients, harmful chemicals, or unnecessary fillers in it, so the chances of it causing a side effect are rare. Still, there are a few things that everyone should know beforehand.
For example, Exipure supplement is created for adult users only; its values are determined as per an adult body. It is in no way safe for a baby or teenager, even if he is obese. Do not give these over-the-counter supplements to your children and consult a pediatric nutritionist for their obesity management.
Exipure is also not a safe choice if your obesity is linked with an underlying medical condition; it is better to treat that condition first. Many times, fixing the actual issue naturally manages the weight, and the body returns to its original weight. If the problem persists, you can try a natural weight loss formula after confirming it with your doctor.
Nothing inside Exipure pills can cause addiction or withdrawal effects. For this reason, it is safe even for very long-term use. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive should never use dietary supplements, even if they are herbal. Talk to your doctor to learn which types of supplements are safe during pregnancy and post-delivery.

Contact the customer care to know the process of refunds. Also, do not discard your used or empty Exipure bottles, as you may be asked to send them back to the company as a proof of purchase.

Is Exipure Legit Or Fake?
People often look for scientific evidence of any supplement before choosing it for daily use. While it is a good practice for medicines, supplements are rarely undergone through clinical testing, and it is not because they are not effective or safe. Dietary supplements are evaluated differently than medicines and do not require formula testing in different peer groups. Instead, the ingredients used inside these supplements are checked for scientific evidence, helping to estimate the effects. Exipure, like almost all other supplements, has not been checked through any trial or study, but all its ingredients have sufficient evidence.
The mechanism hit by Exipure pills, i.e., targeting brown adipose tissue, is not a new concept, and it has been under discussion for many years. The only hurdle in BAT levels was to plan a diet to make it happen, which is replaced by herbal ingredients used in Exipure capsules. Previously, brown fat has been proven helpful for breaking down complex food sources such as sugar, carbs and fat. This breakdown releases enormous energy, which is then used to maintain the energy levels all day.
Weight loss requires a strict diet and exercise plan, according to most health experts. But the body cannot keep all its functions active in the absence of energy, heat and poor digestion. Increasing the brown fat levels with Exipure ingredients makes all this easier and brings results in less time. Many ongoing studies are trying to understand this link between BAT and weight loss in detail. Hopefully, the secret relationship between these two will be out soon, helping to confirm Exipure benefits in detail.

What Are Customers Saying About Exipure?
Exipure is a new product, but within a few months of its launch, it has become a huge hit. The popularity grew from dozens to thousands of users within a short span of time, and the only reason behind this popularity is its effects.
Based on the Exipure reviews online and on the official website, it is clear that this supplement is effective. Some of the customers have even lost more than 25 lbs and showed a complete body transformation. However, the time required to achieve this body was different for everyone and individual results may vary. The results were more profound after six months, and some of the users continued it for a very long time.
The testimonials also suggest that Exipure pills can be used to maintain weight so that the body does not gain weight again. It can be a good approach to uphold the results, which can either be done through diet or supplement. The dietary restrictions are hard to follow; hence using the supplement is better and more convenient.
Directions To Use Exipure Supplement
Using Exipure is no different than using multivitamins, and you only need a glass of water to consume it. The daily dosage is only one capsule, and taking a higher dose is strictly prohibited. There is no fixed time to take this daily dosage, and you can take it any time of the day. However, it is better to fix a time to consume it so that you do not forget or skip the daily dosage.
The results are evident within three to six months, but it can be used for longer than six months, too, as it has no side effects to offer. Though individual results may vary, Exipure is for everyone, irrespective of weight, but extremely obese patients may take more than six months to reach their target weight. Nothing inside Exipure has an addictive potential or withdrawal effect, and you can use it again and again without worrying about anything.
Others who are only a few pounds over their target weight will only see changes in a few weeks. The time required to show the results depends upon the body’s capacity to respond to different ingredients, and no two bodies share the same functions. Do not use Exipure if you are unsure about its usage, or talk to a doctor to learn more about supplement safety.
Exipure Reviews - The Verdict
To sum up, Exipure appears to be a potent weight loss supplement, with direct benefits for the metabolism. It uses a healthy way to lose weight, which is why the results of the Exipure supplement are longer and better. In fact, they remain the same after you stop using the supplement and maintain the results with basic dietary changes and exercise.
All orders are protected with a 180-day money-back guarantee, during which you can choose to get a refund of your order if it fails to help you in weight loss. Do not take more time because Exipure is selling fast, and there are only limited bottles left. Visit the official website to confirm your order before the stock sells out.

A 16-year-old girl was shot and killed and two others were injured outside of a Bronx high school after getting caught in the crossfire of two 'brazen criminals.'
The University Prep High Schooler, who was not identified, was reportedly shot in the chest and has since died.
Police were reportedly seen performing chest compression on her as blood pooled around her.
Video shows her body lying in the street, in a pool of blood.
A girl, 16, and boy, 17, both students at Mott Haven Village Prep High School, were injured in the shooting, in the shin and buttocks, respectively, at around 1.45pm on Friday. The teens were taken to Lincoln Medical Center to be treated for their injuries and are reportedly in stable condition, according to CBS News.
The shooting occurred outside University Heights High School's South Bronx Campus on East 156th Street and St. Ann's Avenue.
Police told the New York Daily News that the gunman had been arguing with someone across the street, when he pulled out the weapon and opened fire.
None of the teens were the intended target.
Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell described the fatality vicitm as 'a young woman with a bright future.'
A superintendent at a nearby building said that he saw the horrific shooting - and was there when the dead girl's mother, who lived just round the corner, arrived on scene.
'The dead girl's mother…the way she was screaming broke my heart. The first thing you think of is your own kids and you start bawling,' he said. 'It's crazy out here.'
The girl's friend Hazel Cheeseboro, who has known her since kindergarten, described her as fun and 'someone you could call if you have problems.'
'Her mom is heartbroken,' Cheeseboro added. 'She's trying to hang in there, but she just lost her daughter.'

New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell (middle) held a press conference outside the scene on Friday
Three to six shots were reportedly fired in a westbound direction from the suspect who was standing on the east side of the street.
Law enforcement sources told the New York Post that two males across the street from each other got in an argument prior to the shots being fired.
'At this point in our early investigation, that the brazen criminals opened fire after a dispute,' Sewell said at a brief press conference on Friday.
No arrests have been made and police are now searching for a Hispanic man in his 20s, who was last seen wearing a gray tracksuit and a black vest and was seen driving westbound, officials confirmed.
'At this time, we have no identity on the shooter,' police said.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, 61, has been notified and has already left the Yankees home opener game, his press secretary said on Twitter.
Attorney General Letitia James, 63, to the horror on Twitter, writing: 'This is devastating. Yet another shooting in our city, yet another young life taken too soon.
'I'm sending my deepest condolences to the family of this young girl and I'm praying for the full recovery of the other two teenagers who were shot.'
The scene was rope off with caution tape as police investigate
Police are now looking for a man who drove away westbound and was last seen wearing a gray tracksuit and black vest

A Bronx local Freddy Brown said it was 'unbelievable,' but he was wasn't 'surprised.'
'No, it's not a surprise, because you hear shots all the time in this area,' the unidentified local said. 'But it's surprising to hear it's three young kids in the area. You don't hear about young teenagers getting shot in the area, but it happens all over now.'
Bronx worker Eddie Rosado also agreed with Brown's statements saying: 'It's getting to the point now where it's an every day thing. When I was a teenager, this stuff wasn't going on this much, it's crazy.'
Rosado said he was 'definitely not' surprised, but he felt safe 'for the most part, because I grew up in the Bronx.'
'It's my environment, but when stuff happens like this so close, it's a little rough, it's hard,' he said.
NYC crime is up almost 50 percent compared to last year and shooting victims have risen 14.5 percent.
'We need more patrol in the area,' Brown said. 'I'm scared for my grandkids.'
The shooting happened on East 156th Street outside of the South Bronx High School (pictured)
The teens were taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where one girl, 16, succumbed to her injuries. The other girl was shot in the shin and the male was shot in the buttocks. They were reportedly not the intended targets of the drive-by shooting

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona's David Peralta lined a leadoff single in the eighth inning, ending another no-hit bid by the San Diego Padres.
Sean Manaea was brilliant in his Padres debut Friday night, but was pulled by manager Bob Melvin after throwing 88 pitches over seven innings. Melvin's decision wasn't much of a surprise since pitchers all around the game are on strict limits because of the lockout-shortened spring training.
This is the second straight day a Padres starter took a no-hitter deep into a game against the Diamondbacks. It's also the second straight day the D-backs broke up the no-hit bid against reliever Tim Hill.
Yu Darvish threw six no-hit innings on Thursday on opening night and then was pulled. Hill entered the game in the seventh and gave up a hit to Pavin Smith.
The Diamondbacks rallied to win Thursday’s game 4-2 when Seth Beer hit a game-winning, three-run homer in the ninth.
Manaea was traded from the Oakland Athletics to the Padres earlier this month.
Manaea walked one and struck out seven. The left-hander caught a break in the seventh when Carson Kelly's bouncing grounder down the third-base line went foul by a few inches. Kelly grounded out to shortstop a few pitches later.
The Padres led 3-0 when Manaea was pulled.
Manaea was 11-10 with a 3.91 ERA for the A's last season.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A milestone Supreme Court confirmation that endured a flawed process. The collapse of a bipartisan compromise for more pandemic funds. The departure of a stalwart of the dwindling band of moderate House Republicans.
Party-line fights on Capitol Hill are as old as the republic, and they routinely escalate as elections approach. Yet three events from a notable week illustrate how Congress' near- and long-term paths point toward intensifying partisanship.
THE SENATE'S SUPREME COURT BATTLE
Democrats rejoiced Thursday when the Senate by 53-47 confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black female justice. They crowed about a bipartisan stamp of approval from the trio of Republicans who supported it: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah.
Yet by historical standards, the three opposition party votes were paltry and underscored the recent trend of Supreme Court confirmations becoming loyalty tests on party ideology. That's a departure from a decades-long norm when senators might dislike a nominee’s judicial philosophy but defer to a president's pick, barring a disqualifying revelation.
Murkowski said her support for Jackson was partly “rejection of the corrosive politicization" of how both parties consider Supreme Court nominations, which "is growing worse and more detached from reality by the year.”
Republicans said they would treat Jackson respectfully, and many did. Their questions and criticisms of her were pointed and partisan, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., saying “the Senate views itself as a co-partner in this process” with the president.
Yet some potential 2024 GOP presidential contenders seemed to use Jackson’s confirmation to woo hard-right support. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., misleadingly accused her of being unusually lenient on child pornography offenders. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., suggested she might have defended Nazis at the Nuremburg trials after World War II.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said some Republicans “went overboard, as far as I’m concerned, to the extreme,” reflecting “the reality of politics on Capitol Hill.” Cotton was “fundamentally unfair, but that is his tradition,” said Durbin.
SUPREME COURT BATTLES PAST
Senate approval of high court nominees by voice vote, without bothering to hold roll calls, was standard for most of the 20th Century. Conservative Antonin Scalia sailed into the Supreme Court by 98-0 in 1986, while liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg won 96-3 approval seven years later.
There were bitter fights. Democrats blocked conservative Robert Bork’s nomination in 1987 and unsuccessfully opposed Clarence Thomas’ ascension in 1991 after he was accused of sexual harassment.
Hard feelings intensified in early 2016. McConnell, then majority leader, blocked the Senate from even considering President Barack Obama's pick of Merrick Garland to replace the deceased Scalia. McConnell cited the upcoming presidential election nearly nine months away, infuriating Democrats.
Donald Trump was elected and ultimately filled three vacancies over near-unanimous Democratic opposition.
They opposed Brett Kavanaugh after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman decades earlier. They voted solidly against Amy Coney Barrett after Trump and McConnell rushed through her nomination when a vacancy occurred just weeks before Election Day 2020, a sprint Democrats called hypocritical.
COVID SPENDING FIGHT, TRANSFORMED
Senators from both parties agreed to a $10 billion COVID-19 package Monday that President Joe Biden wants for more therapeutics, vaccines and tests. With BA.2, the new omicron variant, washing across the country, it seemed poised for congressional approval.
Hours later, bargainers led by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, seemed blindsided when their compromise was derailed. Republicans wanted to add an extension of an expiring crackdown on migrants crossing the Mexican border that Trump imposed in 2020, citing the pandemic’s public health threat.
Many Republicans were skeptical that more COVID-19 money was necessary. But their demand for an immigration amendment transformed a fight over how much more to spend on a disease that's killed 980,000 Americans into a battle over border security, tailor-made for upcoming GOP political campaigns.
Immigration divides Democrats, and Republicans believe the issue can further solidify their chances of winning congressional control in November’s elections. Playing defense, Schumer postponed debate on the COVID-19 bill.
Democrats deserved some blame for being outmaneuvered. House Democrats shot down a $15 billion agreement in March, rejecting compromise budget savings to pay for it.
And in glaringly tone-deaf political timing, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last week, just as bargainers were finalizing their latest compromise, that the Trump-era immigration curbs would lapse on May 23.
That gave Republicans an irresistible political gift to pursue.
A MODERATE'S FAREWELL
Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., announced his retirement Tuesday. He's the fourth of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump last year to say they won't seek reelection.
Upton attributed his departure to running in a new district, but that didn't stop Trump from proclaiming: "UPTON QUITS! 4 down and 6 to go.” The House impeached Trump over his incitement of supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but the GOP-run Senate acquitted him.
Now in his 18th term, Upton's departure subtracts another moderate from a GOP that's shifted rightward in recent years, particularly when it comes to showing fealty to Trump.
The pro-business Upton, 68, was a driving force on one law spurring pharmaceutical development and has worked with Democrats on legislation affecting energy and the auto industry. His work across the aisle and his affability placed him in the ever-smaller group of Republicans who draw Democrats' praise.
“To him, bipartisan and compromise are not forbidden words," said Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich.
PARTY DIFFERENCES, THEN AND NOW
Pitched battles are now habitual over bills financing federal agencies and extending the government’s borrowing authority. When those disputes are resolved and federal shutdowns and defaults averted, lawmakers hail as triumphs what is their most rudimentary task — keeping government functioning.
Despite the divisions over COVID-19 money and Jackson, there has also been cooperation.
Congress overwhelmingly voted Thursday to ban Russian oil and downgrade trade relations with that country following its invasion of Ukraine. There’s progress on bipartisan trade and technology legislation, and a bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure measure became law last year.

Amazon is seeking to overturn the historic union victory at one of its New York City warehouses, arguing in a legal filing Friday that union organizers and the National Labor Relations Board acted in a way that tainted the results. It now wants to redo the election.
The e-commerce giant listed 25 objections in the filing obtained by The Associated Press, accusing organizers with the nascent Amazon Labor Union of intimidating workers to vote for the union, a claim an attorney representing the group has called “patently absurd.”
“The employees have spoken,” Eric Milner, the attorney, said in a statement Thursday after Amazon's initial planned objections were made public in another legal filing.
“Amazon is choosing to ignore that, and instead engage in stalling tactics to avoid the inevitable — coming to the bargaining table and negotiating for a contract” on behalf of the workers, he said.
Warehouse workers in Staten Island cast 2,654 votes — or about 55% — in favor of a union, giving the fledgling group enough support to pull off a victory last Friday.
In one objection, Amazon said organizers “intentionally created hostile confrontations in front of eligible voters,” by interrupting the mandatory meetings the company held to persuade its employees to reject the union drive. In a filing released earlier this month, the company disclosed it spent about $4.2 million last year on labor consultants.
In another objection, Amazon targeted organizers’ distribution of cannabis to workers, saying the labor board “cannot condone such a practice as a legitimate method of obtaining support for a labor organization." New York legalized the recreational use of marijuana last year for those over 21. Milner, the attorney representing the union, said Amazon is grasping at straws.
Distributing cannabis “is no different than distributing free t-shirts and it certainly did not act to interfere with the election," he said.
The company also accused organizers of improperly polling workers.
The retailer had initially signaled it planned to challenge the election results because of a lawsuit the NLRB filed in March, in which the board sought to force Amazon to reinstate a fired employee who was involved in the union drive.
Amazon pointed to the lawsuit in one of its objections filed Friday, saying the regional NLRB office that brought the suit “failed to protect the integrity and neutrality of its procedures,” and had created an impression of support for the union by seeking reinstatement for the former employee, Gerald Bryson.
“Based on the evidence we’ve seen so far, as set out in our objections, we believe that the actions of the NLRB and the ALU improperly suppressed and influenced the vote, and we think the election should be conducted again so that a fair and broadly representative vote can be had," Kelly Nantel, an Amazon spokesperson, said in a statement Friday.
Bryson was fired in the early days of the pandemic after leading a protest calling for the company to do more to protect workers against COVID-19. While off the job during the protest, Bryson got into a dispute with another worker and was later fired for violating Amazon’s vulgar-language policy, according to his attorney Frank Kearl.
The NLRB did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Its spokesperson, Kayla Blado, previously said the independent agency is authorized by Congress to enforce the National Labor Relations Act.
“All NLRB enforcement actions against Amazon have been consistent with that Congressional mandate,” she said.
In other objections, Amazon targeted how the labor agency conducted the election. It said the agency failed to control media presence around the voting area and didn't have enough staff and equipment, which the company says created long lines and “discouraged many employees from voting in subsequent polling sessions.”
Meanwhile, both Amazon and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a union that spearheaded a separate union drive in Bessemer, Alabama, have filed objections to that election. The final outcome of the union vote in Alabama is still up in the air with 416 outstanding challenged ballots in the balance. Initial results show the union down by 118 votes, with the majority of Amazon warehouse workers rejecting a bid to form unionize.
RWDSU, which filed more than 20 objections, said in its filing Thursday that its objections are “grounds to set the election aside.”
A hearing to review the challenged ballots is expected to begin in the coming weeks.

Dear Readers,
The rising cost of gasoline and diesel fuel is causing a lot of “free energy” and “mileage boosting” scams to be posted everywhere. Here are a few of my favorites from the past as well as brand-new scams for the computer age.
Page Contents
Everything old is new again…
I remember seeing ads for Cow Magnets in the back of Popular Mechanics magazines back in the early ’70s. The idea is that by clamping a pair of heavy-duty magnets around your fuel line close to the carburetor it would somehow align the ions in the gasoline and extract more energy when it was burned. Actually, every farm kid knows that cow magnets are a real thing that dairy farmers get cows to swallow, which stops bits of barbed wire and nails that might get into their feed from traveling though their digestive tract.
Cow magnets for better mileage are 100% Bull!
There is ZERO proof that Cow Magnets do anything at all to improve your gas mileage. Yes, modern vehicles don’t have a carburetor any more. Instead they have some sort of fuel injection under computer control, and many also have something called GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) which creates a timed spray of gasoline into each cylinder, sort of like a low-pressure diesel engine with spark plug ignition. Add in a turbocharger and you’re now extracting near the theoretical limit of energy in every gallon of gasoline or diesel.
The following ad was auto-inserted by Google
Magic spark plugs are a complete fizzle
Here’s another one that was a big deal in the ’70s and ’80s and has shown up on a number of my latest news feeds. The idea is that there’s some special spark plug design with unobtainium contacts that can somehow provide better ignition of the fuel/air mixture. Now, back in the day of leaded gasoline you needed to change your spark plugs every 10,000 miles or gas mileage would suffer.
So if you put in a bit of magic zirconium-tipped spark plugs to replace your dirty factory/OEM plugs, of course your mileage would increase a little bit. But that would be true if you simply cleaned and re-gapped your dirty spark plugs. However, in the current days of electronic ignition and unleaded gasoline, spark plugs last 50,000 miles or more and there’s no points and condensers to change. Actually, the computer in your car tunes your engine 100 times every second, so there’s nothing you can do to improve its performance. So replace your spark plugs with quality plugs recommended at the mileage intervals suggested by your vehicle manufacturer, and that’s as good as it’s gonna get.
Free energy generators are just smoke and mirrors
I see these so-called free energy videos all the time, where someone builds a strange looking gadget from an old car alternator or a few bearings and spark plugs with magnets. Once you spin it up, the light bulb magically lights up and the claim is now you can have free energy forever.
But the reason for these scams is the number of views that these YouTube videos get in a few days, sometimes in the millions. Of course, there’s a battery cleverly concealed somewhere in this free energy scam, or maybe they’ve added a magnetic coil feed by AC power under the table, sort of like your wireless phone charger. That’s how I would do it if I wanted to make a free energy scam.
If wishes were horses, all beggars would ride…
Note that I really did try to build a Perpetual Motion / Free Energy generator out of an electric motor and car generator when I was 8 years old. It didn’t work, but I did manage to blow the fuses in my parents’ electric box. It didn’t work 60 years ago when I tried it, and it certainly won’t work now, no matter how much you wish it would. The lesson is that no matter how badly you wish for something to work, any gadget that appears to break the laws of physics as we understand it is complete bunk.
The following ad was auto-inserted by Google
And finally, the OBD2 tuner scam
All modern vehicles have an OBD2 port under the dash, which does allow you to add something like a Bully Tuner to your diesel truck. While those tuners can allow you to increase your horsepower (voiding the warranty and possibly wrecking your engine), there’s no proof that any of these tuners can improve fuel mileage. But the real scams are the ones that have nothing but an LED light inside with no computer interface at all. When you plug them in, a magic glow assures you that they’re doing something, but in reality they’re nothing more than a night light for your feet. So don’t fall prey to this scam.
What does work?
The only thing that always works won’t cost you a dime. So how about slowing down to the speed limit. That’s right, if the posted speed limit is 65 mph, then don’t drive at 75 or 80 mph.
Simply driving at the posted limit will probably improve your gas or diesel mileage by 10% to 20% compared to going 10 to 15 mph over the limit. Yes, it will take you longer to get there, but what’s your hurry when you’re camping?
Let’s play safe out there….

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s embattled prime minister faces a tough no-confidence vote Saturday waged by his political opposition, which says it has the numbers to defeat him.
A combined opposition that stretches the political spectrum from left to radically religious says it has the 172 votes it needs in Pakistan’s 342-seat Parliament to oust Imran Khan after Parliament convenes at 10:30 a.m. local time.
Khan took to national television on the eve of the vote calling on his supporters to take to the streets to protest on Sunday, an indication he believed he would lose the vote, which was ordered by the Supreme Court. The five-member bench on Thursday blocked Khan's bid to stay in power, ruling that his move to dissolve Parliament and call early elections was illegal.
Thursday’s court decision set the stage for a no-confidence vote, likely to go against Khan after several of his ruling party members and a small but key coalition partner defected.
In an impassioned speech Friday, Khan doubled down on his accusations that his opponents colluded with the United States to unseat him over his foreign policy choices, which often seemed to favor China and Russia and defied U.S. criticism.
Khan said Washington opposed his Feb. 24 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin hours after tanks rolled into Ukraine launching a devastating war in the heart of Europe.
The U.S. State Department has denied any involvement in Pakistan’s internal politics. Deputy State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter told reporters on Friday there was “absolutely no truth to these allegations.”
“Of course, we continue to follow these developments and support Pakistan’s constitutional process, but again these allegations are absolutely not true,” she said.
Still Khan urged his supporters, particularly the young who have been the backbone of his support since the former cricket star turned conservative Islamist politician came to power in 2018, to take to the streets. He said they needed to protest to protect Pakistan's sovereignty, against an America that wants to dictate to Pakistan.
“You have to come out to protect your own future. It is you who have to protect your democracy, your sovereignty and your independence ... This is your duty,” he said. “I will not accept an imposed government."
Khan’s options are limited and should he see a big turnout in his support, he may try to keep the momentum of street protests as a way to pressure Parliament to dissolve and go to early elections.
A no-confidence vote loss for Khan on Saturday would bring to power in Pakistan an opposition of unlikely partners.
Among them is a radically religious party that runs scores of religious schools or madrassas. The Jamiat-e-ulema-Islam (JUI) or Assembly of Clerics teaches a deeply conservative brand of Islam in its schools and many of Afghanistan's Taliban and Pakistan's own homegrown violent Taliban members graduated from JUI schools.
The largest among the opposition parties — the Pakistan People’s Party, led by the son of the slain Benazir Bhutto and the Pakistan Muslim League — have been tainted by allegations of widespread corruption.
The Pakistan Muslim League leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was convicted of corruption after being named in the so-called Panama Papers — a collection of leaked secret financial documents showing how some of the world’s richest hide their money and involving a global law firm based in Panama. He was disqualified by Pakistan’s Supreme Court from holding office.
If the opposition wins the no-confidence vote, it is up to Parliament to choose a new head of government — which could be Sharif’s brother, Shahbaz Sharif. If the lawmakers are unsuccessful, early elections would be called.

VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — A group of high school students from the Vicksburg Warren School District are taking advantage of a new residential architectural design class offered through Hinds Community College.
The class “Residential Design and Building Information Modeling,” is taught by instructor Richard Hunt, who graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Architectural Engineering Technology.
“The idea is to teach them how to understand how a house goes together. We focus primarily on residential construction,” Hunt said. “(How to understand) the elements that have to be there, how to talk to the client and get the client’s needs, and translate that into the language of construction.”
Students are taught at the Hinds Community College facility which boasts brand new iMacs, 3D printers and a state-of-the-art plotter on which the students can hone their skills. They are currently learning how to use modeling software to create a home of their own design.
“So it’s basically virtual construction, right?” Hunt said. “The idea is, you design every aspect of the building details before you ever drive the first nail.”
The software the students are learning to use allows them to design a useable, detailed plan of the construction project.
“It’s able to print out materials lists, full specs, all that stuff,” Hunt said. “It can give you detailed cost estimates and things like that.”
The course isn’t just focused on architectural design. Hunt’s class is also learning about the business aspects of construction.
After getting his Bachelor’s degree, Hunt worked in the construction industry. Now he is trying to pass along the knowledge he wished he’d known before entering the field professionally.
“When I started out, I didn’t know what to charge people. I didn’t know how to talk to them about the money side of it,” Hunt said. “Teaching them how to grade that and be confident when talking about money to clients is a really important thing, too. I think that if they take nothing else away from (the course), being able to know their own value… and know the value of their work is one of the most important things I hope that they picked up in this class.”
Hunt said that the design process is a “moving experience.” He is trying to show the students that going from the sketch phase to the final design phase, and even on to the construction phase is a rewarding experience.
“When you see something that was in your mind, and you put it on a piece of paper,” he said. “And then someone builds it, and you see it for the first time in real life, It’s a ‘goosebumps moment.’”
Hunt said he is hopeful that the course will last past its first year, but he really needs it to grow in order to remain viable for the school district.
“Right now I’ve got five students,” he said. “I really have to have 10. So I need to get some interest from the students at large to bring them in here.”
Hunt is also looking for support from the community.
“I actually have a few friends who are in the construction trades, and some real estate agents, a couple of developers that I’ve talked to, and they have all offered support,” he said.
Those types of professionals are interested “because it would benefit them… I’m trying to teach (the students) that they could do this right here. And that this could benefit this community directly,” he said.
Hunt thinks the course is a way for the students and the community to invest in a brighter economic future.
“There’s a housing shortage in this country,” Hunt said. “Getting your students started in the design-build process by learning about it is the first step of getting that corrected.”
Several students were confident that the skills they are learning in the course could be applied to their future careers.
Trinitee Odom, a senior, said this course is directly related to the fields she is interested in.
“It helped me learn that I actually want to be (in construction),” Odom said. “But I want to be an architect too; I want to do it all.”
Several students eagerly explained the architectural concept of “the work triangle,” a general set of rules for laying out the floorplan in a space where work is performed (like a kitchen) to maximize the efficiency and ease of use of the person working.
Another student, Owen McCardle, said he was mostly interested in the artistic aspects of the course, and that the skills learned here are not only applicable to the fields of architecture and construction.
“Definitely take it. I mean, it’s not that you have to just take it because you want to be an architect,” McCardle said. “You could take it just to have some background knowledge on how some other things work.”
Hunt echoed the sentiment.
“You’ll learn something about construction, you learn something about design,” he said. “You’ll learn something about what it means to build a community and be part of a community (and how to) run a business.”

On This Day in 2017: Sergio Garcia beats Justin Rose in play-off to win Masters
Sergio Garcia beat Justin Rose in a play-off to win the Masters on this day in 2017.
Five years after claiming he was not good enough to win a major, the Spaniard proved himself wrong in thrilling fashion on what would have been the 60th birthday of compatriot Seve Ballesteros.
Garcia became the third Spanish winner at Augusta National – after two-time champions Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal – with a birdie on the first extra hole following a sensational duel with his Ryder Cup team-mate.
The pair had finished tied on nine under par after closing rounds of 69, with Rose overturning an early three-stroke deficit to lead by a shot after 16 holes, only to bogey the 17th and then fail to convert a birdie attempt from seven feet on the last.
That left Garcia with a chance to win his first major title at the 74th attempt, but his putt from five feet slid past the hole and meant the first play-off at Augusta since Adam Scott beat Angel Cabrera in 2013.
The players returned to the 18th and Rose was unable to save par after pushing his drive into the trees and hitting a poor recovery, but Garcia finished an unforgettable day in style by holing from 12 feet for birdie.

“It’s been a long wait but it’s that much sweeter because of that wait,” Garcia said after being presented with his green jacket by 2016 champion Danny Willett.
“I get to call myself Masters champion and that’s amazing.”

More evacuations needed from Ukraine's Luhansk as shelling increases - governor
April 9 (Reuters) - More evacuations are needed from the Luhansk region in Ukraine as shelling has increased in recent days and more Russian forces have been arriving, Luhansk Governor Serhiy Gaidai said on Saturday.
He said that some 30% of people still remain in settlements across the region and have been asked to evacuate.
"They (Russia) are amassing forces for an offensive and we see the number of shelling has increased," Gaidai told the public television broadcaster. (Reporting in Lviv by Pavel Polityuk; writing in Melbourne by Lidia Kelly; editing by Richard Pullin)

Feature: Beijing's half-century of medical assistance to Africa
BEIJING, April 8 (Xinhua) -- In 1968, the first team of health practitioners, 36 strong, traveled from Beijing to Africa, evidence of China's strong commitment to medical aid to the continent.
More than half a century later, that commitment is still in place. Over the decades, 53 Beijing medical assistance teams involving over 1,000 personnel have been dispatched to 11 African countries and regions, including Zambia, Algeria and Guinea, establishing solid friendships between the peoples of the two sides.
IMPROVING HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS
The 29th Beijing medical assistance team to Guinea arrived in Conakry, on March 6 (local time) after a journey of more than 50 hours. The team has 22 members, 20 of whom came from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, while the other two came from the Beijing Municipal Health Commission and the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
"Our medical staff voluntarily signed up for this team and were selected from 15 clinical departments, including neurology, emergency treatment and intensive care," said Guan Zhongjun, Party secretary of Beijing Tiantan Hospital.
Guo Wei, leader of the team, explained that it will work in Guinea for about 18 months, further strengthening China's cooperation with Guinean in the areas of clinical medicine, healthcare reform and public health.
Zhang Wei, deputy Party secretary of Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University, who was the leader of the 28th Beijing medical assistance team to Guinea, explained the importance of such work, particularly amid the pandemic.
"The COVID-19 pandemic continues to influence the whole world, while Guinea is also threatened by many other infectious diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever, measles and Ebola. But the local hospitals still lacked a complete hospital infection response system," said Zhang.
Therefore, the primary task facing Zhang's team was to help Guinean hospitals to set up an effective healthcare system to deal with infectious diseases. The Chinese staff worked jointly with their local peers to establish a tailored mechanism based on extensive consultation and investigation.
At the end of March, the China-Guinea Friendship Hospital put forward a set of management regulations in response to possible COVID-19 infections in hospitals, which was expected to be expanded to more hospitals in Guinea.
CONFRONTING EBOLA
Kong Qingyu, deputy director of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, and the leader of the 23rd Beijing medical assistance team to Guinea, said that Ebola was a major issue confronting his team.
"In 2014, Ebola broke out in Africa, but we knew little about the virus. The only thing we knew was that it was highly contagious and almost incurable," Kong recalled.
The epidemic unfolded just as Kong and his team were about to conclude their work in Guinea, but they chose to stay, confronting the outbreaks shoulder to shoulder with African colleagues.
"We immediately reported to China's medical authorities, and they sent us the latest research outcomes, with the help of which we guided people in Guinea to implement prevention and control measures accordingly," Kong added.
At the same time, the 24th team, including 19 experts from Beijing Friendship Hospital, was ready to support the fight against Ebola in Guinea.
"Nobody could remain immune to the Ebola epidemic, so we had to take responsibility and stand with the Guinean people. Some of our team members even made out wills before they left home," said Wang Zhenchang, deputy director of Beijing Friendship Hospital and leader of the 24th team.
After the team arrived in August 2014, they provided healthcare training for nearly 1,700 local medical workers and health officials. "The training helped them understand the Ebola virus and adopt appropriate measures to contain the infection," he added.
BUILDING HOSPITALS, FRIENDSHIP
Thanks to the continuous efforts of the Chinese medical assistance teams in Guinea, the China-Guinea Friendship Hospital, founded in April 2012, has become one of the leading hospitals in Guinea.
"When I was there, our priority was developing the intensive-care department, but the lack of capable medical staff was a major challenge for us," recalled Wang Yu, leader of the 25th Beijing medical assistance team to Guinea, which started its mission in January 2016.
Wang Yu's team organized a comprehensive intensive-care training program for Guinean doctors and nurses, including more than 200 hours of theoretical training and over 400 hours of surgical training, with all the teaching materials translated into French, the official language of Guinea.
"It is more important to help the Guinean people build a sound medical system and enable local medical staff to deal with diseases themselves, rather than just making prescriptions for patients," said Zhang, leader of the 28th team.
Zhang said his team further improved the training project, adding short-term exchanges and online courses.
According to Zhong Dongbo, Party secretary of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, the past half-century of medical cooperation has been well worth the effort.
"The 53 medical assistance teams from Beijing to African countries have kept our friendship alive," said Zhong. "Developing a healthcare community with a shared future is our common aspiration."

The EU has approved punishing new sanctions against Russia including an embargo on coal imports, but the ban will take full effect a month later than initially planned following pressure from Germany to delay the measure.
The ban on coal imports, estimated to be worth €4bn (£3bn) per year, will be the first EU sanctions targeting Russia’s lucrative energy industry when it comes into force in August. It follows in the footsteps of the UK, which announced it would ban imports of Russian coal by the end of this year.
However, the EU has stopped short of banning Russian oil and gas, which represent far bigger imports from Moscow.
The sanctions approved on Thursday came in the wake of growing evidence of torture and civilian killings emerging from Ukraine.
Coal embargo
Both the UK and EU have committed to banning coal imports from Russia, with Britain also intending to end gas imports by the end of 2022.
The EU Commission had initially proposed a wind-down period of three months for existing contracts, Reuters reported citing documents it had seen, meaning that Russia could still export coal to the EU for 90 days after sanctions were imposed.
However that period was extended to four months, EU sources told Reuters, following pressure mostly from Germany, the EU’s main importer of Russian coal.
Europe has historically been a major importer of Russian coal, particularly thermal coal which is used in power generation. Germany and Poland are especially reliant on thermal coal from Russia, which accounts for 67 per cent and 81 per cent of coal imports respectively.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said his country will need to use the full four-month phase-out period.
“If it’s faster, that’s good. But we will need some time, and the companies will need it as well, though they have been looking for new suppliers for a while already,” he said on Thursday.
What is the EU still buying from Russia?
The EU has so far been unable to agree on an oil and gas embargo that would hit Russia harder.
While Russian imports account for 8 per cent of total UK oil demand and less than 4 per cent of gas supply, Europe relies much more on Russia for energy, which makes up about 45 per cent of EU gas imports and 25 per cent of oil imports.
EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell said that the 27-nation bloc is paying a billion euros a day to Russia for energy provisions, totaling more than €35bn since the war started.
Boris Johnson is set to meet Mr Scholz at Downing Street on Friday to discuss how to help European countries wean themselves off Russian gas, with a press conference planned for the afternoon.
On Thursday, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that, if not gas, oil would be on the list soon.
“The next step we are looking intensively at the moment (is) oil, so to prepare to be able to phase out oil,” she said.
What else has been agreed?
The EU sanctions package also includes a €10bn (£8bn) ban on exports to Russia, including high-tech goods, and the freezing of several Russian banks’ assets.
The UK announced an asset freeze on Russia’s largest bank Sberbank and a further eight oligarchs active in industries including fertilisers, oil, gas, trucks and diamonds were also sanctioned.
Other measures include a ban on all new UK outward investment into Russia, which was worth £11bn in 2020, and an end to exports of key oil refining equipment and catalysts.
The US announced sanctions targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s two adult daughters and members of his inner circle. It also sanctioned Sberbank and Alfa Bank, Russia’s largest private bank, in retaliation for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

A milestone Supreme Court confirmation that endured a flawed process. The collapse of a bipartisan compromise for more pandemic funds. The departure of a stalwart of the dwindling band of moderate House Republicans.
Party-line fights on Capitol Hill are as old as the republic, and they routinely escalate as elections approach. Yet three events from a notable week illustrate how Congress' near- and long-term paths point toward intensifying partisanship.
Democrats rejoiced Thursday when the Senate by 53-47 confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black female justice. They crowed about a bipartisan stamp of approval from the trio of Republicans who supported it: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah.
Yet by historical standards, the three opposition party votes were paltry and underscored the recent trend of Supreme Court confirmations becoming loyalty tests on party ideology. That's a departure from a decades-long norm when senators might dislike a nominee’s judicial philosophy but defer to a president's pick, barring a disqualifying revelation.
Murkowski said her support for Jackson was partly “rejection of the corrosive politicization" of how both parties consider Supreme Court nominations, which "is growing worse and more detached from reality by the year.”
Republicans said they would treat Jackson respectfully, and many did. Their questions and criticisms of her were pointed and partisan, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., saying “the Senate views itself as a co-partner in this process” with the president.
Yet some potential 2024 GOP presidential contenders seemed to use Jackson’s confirmation to woo hard-right support. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., misleadingly accused her of being unusually lenient on child pornography offenders. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., suggested she might have defended Nazis at the Nuremburg trials after World War II.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said some Republicans “went overboard, as far as I’m concerned, to the extreme,” reflecting “the reality of politics on Capitol Hill.” Cotton was “fundamentally unfair, but that is his tradition,” said Durbin.
Senate approval of high court nominees by voice vote, without bothering to hold roll calls, was standard for most of the 20th Century. Conservative Antonin Scalia sailed into the Supreme Court by 98-0 in 1986, while liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg won 96-3 approval seven years later.
There were bitter fights. Democrats blocked conservative Robert Bork’s nomination in 1987 and unsuccessfully opposed Clarence Thomas’ ascension in 1991 after he was accused of sexual harassment.
Hard feelings intensified in early 2016. McConnell, then majority leader, blocked the Senate from even considering President Barack Obama's pick of Merrick Garland to replace the deceased Scalia. McConnell cited the upcoming presidential election nearly nine months away, infuriating Democrats.
Donald Trump was elected and ultimately filled three vacancies over near-unanimous Democratic opposition.
They opposed Brett Kavanaugh after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman decades earlier. They voted solidly against Amy Coney Barrett after Trump and McConnell rushed through her nomination when a vacancy occurred just weeks before Election Day 2020, a sprint Democrats called hypocritical.
Senators from both parties agreed to a $10 billion COVID-19 package Monday that President Joe Biden wants for more therapeutics, vaccines and tests. With BA.2, the new omicron variant, washing across the country, it seemed poised for congressional approval.
Hours later, bargainers led by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, seemed blindsided when their compromise was derailed. Republicans wanted to add an extension of an expiring crackdown on migrants crossing the Mexican border that Trump imposed in 2020, citing the pandemic’s public health threat.
Many Republicans were skeptical that more COVID-19 money was necessary. But their demand for an immigration amendment transformed a fight over how much more to spend on a disease that's killed 980,000 Americans into a battle over border security, tailor-made for upcoming GOP political campaigns.
Immigration divides Democrats, and Republicans believe the issue can further solidify their chances of winning congressional control in November’s elections. Playing defense, Schumer postponed debate on the COVID-19 bill.
Democrats deserved some blame for being outmaneuvered. House Democrats shot down a $15 billion agreement in March, rejecting compromise budget savings to pay for it.
And in glaringly tone-deaf political timing, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last week, just as bargainers were finalizing their latest compromise, that the Trump-era immigration curbs would lapse on May 23.
That gave Republicans an irresistible political gift to pursue.
Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., announced his retirement Tuesday. He's the fourth of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump last year to say they won't seek reelection.
Upton attributed his departure to running in a new district, but that didn't stop Trump from proclaiming: "UPTON QUITS! 4 down and 6 to go.” The House impeached Trump over his incitement of supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but the GOP-run Senate acquitted him.
Now in his 18th term, Upton's departure subtracts another moderate from a GOP that's shifted rightward in recent years, particularly when it comes to showing fealty to Trump.
The pro-business Upton, 68, was a driving force on one law spurring pharmaceutical development and has worked with Democrats on legislation affecting energy and the auto industry. His work across the aisle and his affability placed him in the ever-smaller group of Republicans who draw Democrats' praise.
“To him, bipartisan and compromise are not forbidden words," said Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich.
Pitched battles are now habitual over bills financing federal agencies and extending the government’s borrowing authority. When those disputes are resolved and federal shutdowns and defaults averted, lawmakers hail as triumphs what is their most rudimentary task — keeping government functioning.
Despite the divisions over COVID-19 money and Jackson, there has also been cooperation.
Congress overwhelmingly voted Thursday to ban Russian oil and downgrade trade relations with that country following its invasion of Ukraine. There’s progress on bipartisan trade and technology legislation, and a bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure measure became law last year.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he wants a tough global response to Russia after its forces fired a missile at a crowded train station, killing at least 52 people.
Zelenskyy's voice rose in anger during his nightly address late Friday, when he said the strike on the Kramatorsk train station, where 4,000 people were trying to flee a looming Russian offensive in the east, amounted to another war crime.
Dozens of people were severely injured in the strike, and the dead included children.
Photos taken after the attack showed corpses covered with tarpaulins, and the remnants of a rocket painted with the words “For the children" in Russian. The Russian phrasing seemed to suggest the missile was sent to avenge the loss or subjugation of children, although its exact meaning remained unclear.
The strike seemed to shock world leaders.
“There are almost no words for it,” European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters during a visit to Ukraine. “The cynical behavior (by Russia) has almost no benchmark anymore.”
The attack came as workers elsewhere in the country unearthed bodies from a mass grave in Bucha, a town near Kyiv, where graphic evidence of dozens of killings emerged following the withdrawal of Russian forces.
“Like the massacres in Bucha, like many other Russian war crimes, the missile attack on Kramatorsk should be one of the charges at the tribunal that must be held,” Zelenskyy said.
After failing to take Kyiv in the face of stiff resistance, Russian forces have now set their sights on the eastern Donbas region, the mostly Russian-speaking, industrial area where Moscow-backed rebels have been fighting Ukrainian forces for eight years and control some places.
Although the train station is in Ukrainian government-controlled territory in the Donbas, Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out the attack. So did the region’s Moscow-backed separatists, who work closely with Russian troops.
Western experts, however, dismissed Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov's assertion that Russian forces “do not use” that type of missile. A Western official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence, said Russia’s forces have used the missile — and that given the strike’s location and impact, it was likely Russia’s.
Justin Bronk, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London, added that only Russia would have reason to target railway infrastructure in the Donbas, as it is critical for the Ukrainian military's efforts to reinforce its units.
Bronk pointed to other occasions when Russian authorities have tried to deflect blame by claiming their forces no longer use an older weapon “to kind of muddy the waters and try and create doubt.” He suggested Russia specifically chose the missile type because Ukraine also possesses them.
British Defense Minister Ben Wallace denounced the attack as a war crime, and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it “completely unacceptable.”
Ukrainian authorities and Western officials have repeatedly accused Russian forces of atrocities in the war that began with a Feb. 24 invasion. More than 4 million Ukrainians have fled the country, and millions more have been displaced. Some of the grisliest evidence has been found in towns around Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, from which Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops pulled back in recent days.
In Bucha, Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk has said investigators found at least three sites of mass shootings of civilians and were still finding bodies in yards, parks and city squares — 90% of whom were shot.
Russia has falsely claimed that the scenes in Bucha were staged.
On Friday, workers pulled corpses from a mass grave near a church under spitting rain, lining up black body bags in rows in the mud. About 67 people were buried there, according to a statement from Prosecutor-General Iryna Venediktova's office.
Zelenskyy cited communications intercepted by the Ukrainian security service as evidence of Russian war crimes, in an excerpted interview with CBS' “60 Minutes” that aired Friday.
“There are (Russian) soldiers talking with their parents about what they stole and who they abducted. There are recordings of (Russian) prisoners of war who admitted to killing people,” he said. “There are pilots in prison who had maps with civilian targets to bomb. There are also investigations being conducted based on the remains of the dead.”
Zelenskyy's comments echo reporting from German news magazine Der Spiegel saying Germany's foreign intelligence agency had intercepted Russian military radio traffic in which soldiers may have discussed civilian killings in Bucha. The weekly also reported that the recordings indicated the Russian mercenary Wagner Group was involved in atrocities there.
German government officials would not confirm or deny the report, but two former German ministers filed a war crimes complaint Thursday. Russia has denied that its military was involved in war crimes.
Elsewhere, in anticipation of intensified attacks by Russian forces, hundreds of Ukrainians fled villages that were either under fire or occupied in the southern regions of Mykolaiv and Kherson.
Ukrainian officials have almost daily pleaded with Western powers to send more arms, and to further punish Russia with sanctions, exclusion of Russian banks from the global financial system and a total EU embargo on Russian gas and oil.
NATO nations agreed Thursday to increase their supply of weapons, and Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger announced on a trip to Ukraine on Friday that his country has donated its Soviet-era S-300 air defense system to Ukraine. Zelenskyy had appealed for S-300s to help the country “close the skies” to Russian warplanes and missiles.
A senior U.S. defense official said Friday that the Pentagon believes some of Russia's retreating units were so badly damaged they are “for all intents and purposes eradicated.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal military assessments.
The official said the U.S. believes Russia has lost between 15% and 20% of its combat power overall since the war began. While some combat units are withdrawing to be resupplied in Russia, Moscow has added thousands of troops around Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, he said.
In Kharkiv, Lidiya Mezhiritska stood in the wreckage of her home after overnight missile strikes turned it to rubble.
“The ‘Russian world,’ they say,” she said, wryly invoking Putin’s nationalist justification for invading Ukraine. “People, children, old people, women are dying. I don’t have a machine gun. I would definitely go (fight), regardless of age.”

Generali shareholders urged to back CEO reappointment - documents
MILAN, April 9 (Reuters) - Leading investor advisers have recommended shareholders at Generali back the proposal by the Italian insurer's outgoing board to hand CEO Philippe Donnet another term at the helm, documents showed on Saturday.
In reports issued by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis ahead of an April 29 general meeting to name a new board at Generali, the two proxy advisers recommended shareholders support the slate of board nominees put forward by the outgoing board.
Donnet's reappointment has been challenged by a rebel investor in the group. (Reporting by Stephen Jewkes; editing by Valentina Za)
