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.

And now, a lack of food stemming from the region’s drought has left the youngest of the children she is raising malnourished. But she recently resorted to traveling to the nearby Finarwa health center in southeastern Tigray to try to keep the 1-year-old baby alive. 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. A widow named Serawit Wolde with 10 children was in tears as she recounted that five of them were falling ill from hunger.

LONDON (AP) — The first photo of Kate, the Princess of Wales, since her abdominal surgery nearly two months ago was issued Sunday along with a statement thanking the public for its support. “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months,” Kate said on social media. “Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day.”It follows weeks of wild speculation on social media about her whereabouts since she left a hospital Jan. 29 after a nearly two week stay following planned surgery. “That guidance stands.”At the time, royal aides told The Sun newspaper: “We’ve seen the madness of social media and that is not going to change our strategy. The appearance would have been her first major official duty since the surgery but Kensington Palace didn’t confirm any scheduled public events for Kate.

The United States Department of Justice has started a criminal investigation into the Boeing jet door blowout case which had created a gaping hole on the Alaska Airlines aeroplane in January, reported the Wall Street Journal on Saturday (Mar 9). Alaska Airlines' plane door blew out seven minutes after it took off from Portland, Oregon which forced the pilots to make an emergency landing. In an official statement, Alaska Airlines said, “In an event like this, it’s normal for the DOJ to be conducting an investigation. In a letter to Congress, Boeing also acknowledged that it is not able to find records for work done on Alaska Airlines plane's door panel. “Without that information, that raises concerns about quality assurance, quality management, safety management systems” at Boeing, he said.

I have my eclipse glasses and plan to take time to watch it, especially during totality. I plan to attend a watch party to see the eclipse. I may take a quick look, but I won’t make a day out of it. I have to work that day, so it will be difficult to spend much time watching it. A lot depends on what the weather is like that day.

Media magnate Rupert Murdoch, who turns 93 next week, has been married four times — and is engaged again, his representative said Saturday.

Their daughter Dasha was previously married to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who used to own the Premier League football club Chelsea. Murdoch has been married four times and shares six children with three of his wives. These four Murdoch children have the same stake in the family trust and an equal say in what happens to the trust’s voting stock upon Murdoch’s death.

March 7 marked the start of the busy travel season for spring break trips, and TSA says there is an expected 6% increase in travelers from that time through March 25 compared to last year. One way to think of planning a spring break trip is by thinking of yourself as a director producing your memories. “Give yourself some extra time,” said Duane Huelsmann, assistant federal security director screening TSA. “Make sure you pack properly, make sure you’re ready with your liquids and gels, make sure that they fit in a quart-size bag. It’s the legwork that will give you a leg up on your spring break trip.
