Last of the giant camels and archaic humans lived together in Mongolia until desertification 27,000 years ago
A species of giant two-humped camel, Camelus knoblochi, is known to have lived for approximately a quarter of a million years in Central Asia. A new study in Frontiers in Earth Science shows that C. knoblochi's last refuge was in Mongolia until approximately 27,000 years ago. In Mongolia, the last of the species coexisted with anatomically modern humans and maybe the extinct Neanderthals or Denisovans. While the main cause of C. knoblochi's extinction seems to have been climate change, hunting by archaic humans may also have played a role. "Here we show that the extinct camel, Camelus knoblochi, persisted in Mongolia until climatic and environmental changes nudged it into extinction about 27,000 years ago," said Dr. John W Olsen, Regents' professor emeritus at the School of Anthropology of the University of Arizona, Tucson, US.

New Jersey model curriculum: 'Gender identity' lessons for 1st and 2nd graders
A model New Jersey state curriculum provided to parents in the Westfield school district and released by State Sen. Holly Schepisi (R-39) suggests that students should begin learning about gender identity as early as the first or second grade. Transgender activists believe that gender identity is different from biological sex, and that individuals may switch genders. While there is growing tolerance for that idea among adults, including in Supreme Court decisions, many Americans believe it should not be introduced to young children, for whom discussions of sex, gender, and sexuality are inappropriate.

France prepares for gas rationing
France is surveying its largest consumers of natural gas to assess which of them would have to suspend normal operations if deliveries of the fuel from Russia are cut. The plan was outlined in a decree published on Friday by the government gazette JORF. The document says the French gas network operator GRTgaz will collect data from the nation's largest consumers so that the government could decide which of them could be put on pause with the least economic damage. Only entities with annual consumption of at least 5 gigawatt hours are being considered for the chopping block. The survey, which gas consumers must participate in under the threat of being fined, is meant for a scenario in which the supply of Russian gas to France is disrupted. If shortages over the summer leave the country unprepared for the cold season, rationing may be necessary next winter.

Alberta's chief medical officer Hinshaw tells court rights were violated for the greater good, during pandemic
Alberta's chief medical officer of health acknowledged Tuesday that the measures taken to combat the COVID-19 pandemic affected individual rights. But Dr. Deena Hinshaw told a hearing challenging her public health orders that the measures were a "last resort" necessary to protect individuals from the coronavirus and maintain the viability of the health-care system. Under cross-examination by lawyer Leighton Grey, one of two counsel representing parties challenging the constitutionality of Hinshaw's orders, the doctor said such measures were needed when voluntary compliance didn't prevent the spread of the disease.

Drought drove Vikings out of Greenland, new study suggests
One of the great mysteries of late medieval history is why did the Norse, who had established successful settlements in southern Greenland in 985, abandon them in the early 15th century? The consensus view has long been that colder temperatures, associated with the Little Ice Age, helped make the colonies unsustainable. However, new research, led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst and published recently in Science Advances, upends that old theory. It wasn't dropping temperatures that helped drive the Norse from Greenland, but drought.

Serbia claims NATO fighter jet flew under passenger plane in Russian airspace
An unknown fighter jet sped under an Air Serbia Airbus A330 as the aircraft was crossing Russian-Latvian border on a flight between Moscow (SVO) and Belgrade (BEG), Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic said in an interview on national television. According to Vucic, the fighter jet flew under Air Serbia's aircraft in Russian airspace on April 6, 2022. Vucic read out what he said was a report from a pilot on the flight: "Not far from the Russian-Latvian border, Russian Air Traffic Control sent us traffic information to warn us about an aircraft nearby. Two minutes later they asked us to visually identify the aircraft." Vucic said. "The plane in question. It was a military fighter jet. It resembled the "Phantom 15" or the Eurofighter the most, gray in color."

Russia suspended from UN Human Rights Council for 'systematic abuses'
The UN General Assembly has voted to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council over reports of "gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights" by invading Russian troops in Ukraine. The resolution received 93 votes in favor, 24 against, and 58 abstentions. The U.S.-initiated resolution adopted by the 193-member General Assembly expressed "grave concern at the ongoing human rights and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine." Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba expressed his gratitude to the UN members who voted in favor of suspending Russia from the Geneva-based 47-member council, which is the UN's leading human rights organization. The rebuke marked only the second time a country has been dismissed from the council, which was founded in 2006. Libya's suspension in 2011 was the first. The Russian Foreign Ministry rejected the suspension, calling the move "illegal and politically motivated, aimed at ostentatiously punishing a sovereign UN member state that pursues an...

BEST OF THE WEB: Tochka-U missile kills dozens waiting to evacuate from Kramatorsk rail station - West immediately blames Russia - UPDATE: Serial number suggests Ukraine responsible
Thirty-nine people have been killed and more than 100 wounded in a Russian missile strike on a railway station in eastern Ukraine in what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said was a deliberate attack on civilians. Comment: The propaganda is immediate and unequivocal. It is also mere assertion. Things aren't so cut-and-dried. Ukraine's state railway company said two Russian rockets struck the station on April 8 in Kramatorsk, which was being used to evacuate civilians from areas that are expected to come under heavy attack as Moscow redirects its war efforts to focus on eastern areas where the separatists it has backed since 2014 have been fighting Ukrainian troops. "Lacking the strength and courage to stand up to us on the battlefield, they are cynically destroying the civilian population," Zelenskiy said in a statement. "This is an evil that has no limits.

COVID-19 linked to increased risk of blood clots months later, study finds
A new study out of Sweden has found that those who contract COVID-19 have an increased risk of certain types of blood clots, which can be fatal, up to six months after infection. The observational study, published Thursday in the British Medical Journal, reports an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot in the leg, up to three months after COVID-19 infection; pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in the lung, up to six months later and a "bleeding event" up to two months. According to researchers from Umea University, these events were higher in patients with underlying health conditions and those with more severe COVID-19.

Ex-Russian president warns sanctions on Russia will 'erode the world order'

Doocy asked if there was "a carveout" in regulations put forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the vice president after Harris hugged newly-confirmed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The CDC recommends that individuals who are up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines and exposed to virus should wear a "well-fitting" mask for 10 days and get tested at least 5 days after exposure.

Justice: 2 - FBI: 0: Two men acquitted, jury deadlocked on 2 others in Michigan Gov. Whitmer 'kidnapping plot'
Two of four men were acquitted Friday in a conspiracy to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, motivated by fury at the Democrat's tough COVID-19 restrictions early in the pandemic. The verdicts against Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta were read in the federal court in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jurors said they couldn't agree on verdicts against Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. Prosecutors described Fox as a ringleader of an anti-government group. Earlier in the day, the jurors said that there are several counts which the deliberative body were deadlocked on. Testimony began on March 9. "It is not unusual to come back somewhere along the line of deliberations and say 'we tried, but couldn't get there,'" U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said, according to Detroit News. "At least not on everything."

Parts of Accra, Ghana flooded after 1-hour downpour
Some areas in Accra have flooded after a heavy rainfall on Friday, April 8. The one-hour heavy rainfall, obstructed the flow of vehicular traffic on the Weija Barrier - West Hills Mall stretch of the Kasoa Highway, Central Business District, Sahara and Odawna, among other areas. While many commuters parked their cars for the rain to subside, others carefully drove through the flood which covered most part of the road.
