But aid officials say that air and sea deliveries can’t make up for a shortage of land routes. Aid trucks entering Gaza daily are far below the 500 entering before the war. Israel says it welcomes the sea deliveries and would inspect Gaza-bound cargo before it leaves Cyprus. Meanwhile, U.S. efforts began to set up the temporary pier in Gaza for sea deliveries. The ship in Cyprus is expected to take two to three days to arrive at an undisclosed location in Gaza.

HONG KONG (AP) — Abraham Ancer regained just enough of the composure that helped him pull out to a five-stroke lead after two rounds to beat Cameron Smith and Paul Casey in a playoff and win the inaugural LIV Golf tournament in Hong Kong on Sunday. Ancer’s comfortable lead at the start of the final round gradually disappeared with the Mexican struggling to keep pace with the chasing pack after a 2-over round of 72 at the Hong Kong Golf Club course. His spectacular approach shot set up a short birdie putt that he converted while Casey and Smith both finished with bogeys. The Hong Kong tournament is the second of three LIV Golf events that are part of the Asian swing, with the third in early May in Singapore. The week before Singapore, the LIV series will be in the Pacific region with a second consecutive tournament at The Grange in Adelaide, Australia from April 26-28.

Ranging from a few millimeters in length to several inches, worm lizards are fascinating creatures that live in Africa, South America, the Caribbean and southern California. There are around 200 different species of worm lizards, also known scientifically as amphisbaenians. Worm Lizards can range in size, but are typically small and live underground. The worm lizards were placed in the machine and scanned. New research conducted at the University of Texas is taking a closer look at the skulls of Worm Lizards.

“By not saying the word ‘abortion,’ it implies that it’s taboo or something to be ashamed of,” said Kellie Copeland, executive director of Pro-Choice Ohio. “People don’t call us for a reproductive freedom appointment. They call for abortion care, and abortion is a professional medical term for the health care we provide. Many in the abortion rights movement have long viewed him as an imperfect messenger. Biden used part of his address to thank Vice President Kamala Harris, who has embarked on a multistate reproductive freedom tour.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christopher Nolan fulfilled his award show frontrunner status, winning his first Oscar on Sunday night for directing “Oppenheimer” and then another for best picture. The film earned a leading 13 nominations and has earned nearly $1 billion worldwide. “It means I can do curls,” Nolan joked, with an Oscar in each hand. Besides directing, Nolan earned nominations for adapted screenplay and best picture for “Oppenheimer,” the three-hour, ambitious, R-rated epic about the American physicist who developed the atomic bomb. “Starting with the response of audiences around the world to ‘Oppenheimer,’ which far exceeded our expectations, there were so many things that came together for us on this film,” Nolan said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cillian Murphy called himself a “very proud Irishman” after he trotted onstage to claim his first-ever Oscar for portraying the man who created the atomic bomb in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster biopic “Oppenheimer.”“I’m a little overwhelmed,” said Murphy, who won best actor for his stellar role as J. Robert Oppenheimer. “I’m very grateful.”Murphy, though a regular presence in Nolan films going back almost two decades, had always been a supporting player. Murphy thanked Nolan and the director’s wife, Emma Thomas, a producer on the film. “It’s been the wildest, most exhilarating, most creatively, satisfying journey you’ve taken me on over the last 20 years,” Murphy said to Nolan. “We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb,” Murphy said.

Samya Stumo's parents are after stronger aviation safety precautions. “There's a ton of work,” said Nadia Milleron, Samya Stumo’s mother who is running for Congress as an independent against longtime lawmaker Rep. Richard Neal, D-Springfield. Samya Stumo was on her way to start a new job in public health. The kinks were apparently out of the system, and the pilots trained for it — all of which Samya Stumo's family still questions. Milleron and Michael Stumo say that the blowout, as scary as it was, highlighted the company’s “production problems.”“We have always been about 'no third crash,'” Michael Stumo said.

The cruel realities of war and drought seem to have merged for Tinseu Hiluf, a widow living in the arid depths of Ethiopia’s Tigray region who is raising four children left behind by her sister’s recent death in childbirth. And now, a lack of food stemming from the region’s drought has left the youngest of the children she is raising malnourished. But months after the end of the conflict, the U.N. and the U.S. halted food aid for Tigray because of a massive scheme by Ethiopian officials to steal humanitarian grain. Food deliveries to Tigray in the second half of last year, but only a small fraction of needy people in Tigray are receiving food aid, humanitarian workers say. The region’s drought has meant that some areas that usually get about 60 days of rain during the rainy season have seen only a few.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into the Boeing jetliner blowout that left a gaping hole on an Alaska Airlines plane this January, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday. The Boeing plane used by Alaska Airlines suffered the blowout seven minutes after takeoff from Portland, Oregon, forcing the pilots to make an emergency landing. “In an event like this, it’s normal for the DOJ to be conducting an investigation,” Alaska Airlines said in a prepared statement. Boeing has acknowledged in a letter to Congress that it cannot find records for work done on the door panel of the Alaska Airlines plane. The rivet repairs were done by contractors working for Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, but the NTSB still does not know who removed and replaced the door panel, Homendy said Wednesday.

But teachers say parents might not realize how much those struggles play out at school. TRY IT: STOP TEXTING YOUR KID AT SCHOOLMany parents stay in touch with their child by texting, but school is a place for focusing on learning and developing independence. Teachers say you can still reach your child if you have a change in plans or a family emergency: Just contact the front office. For children with serious anxiety who are accustomed to texting parents for reassurance, Milkovich suggests phasing in limits so the child can gradually practice having more independence. Teachers say the best school cellphone policy is one that physically removes the phone from the child.

Some of the families of the Ethiopian crash victims welcomed the intense regulatory scrutiny on Boeing following January’s door plug blowout. Boeing’s production problems went beyond the design flaw that led to the crashes. Boeing continued to insist that the plane was safe, not only after the first crash but for days after the second crash. “Within days of the first crash, Boeing knew there was a design defect,” Robert Clifford, one of the plaintiff attorneys in the case, told CNN. They say the Alaska Air incident demonstrates the problems at Boeing go much deeper than the design issue that was fixed.
