[PAGESIX] Piers Morgan isn’t bothered by the commotion following his public criticism of Princess Meghan Markle ...unlikable American former starlet married to the formerly likable Prince Harry. Chock full of lefty political opinions, Markle's most important characteristic is that she is Black, even though she doesn't look it. Her mother, y'see, is half black and her father is white, which would make her a quarter Black. Her half brother described her (to her husband, before their marriage) as a jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage. Once married, she was too good for the Royals and she and Harry decamped to Beverly Hills, kind of like the Clampetts did, thus making a joke of Harry and the royal family heritage... , sources confirm to Page Six.The bombastic Brit revealed he was forced to leave his job on "Good Morning Britannia" because he wouldn’t apologize to Markle for disbelieving her claims about her mental health, but a source who knows him tells Page Six he isn’t concerned and "thrives on the uproar."
Morgan, 55, stormed off the set of the British talk show earlier this week following an on-air clash with colleague Alex Berenson over Markle and Prince Harry ’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. UK broadcaster ITV later confirmed that he would not be returning to his hosting gig.
Days later, the controversial journalist posted a lengthy note on Instagram where he revealed he "lost [his] job" because he "chose not to apologise" to the 39-year-old former actress.

[American Thinker] A conversation on the academic performance of Black law students between two faculty members teaching at Georgetown following a Zoom session was recorded and posted online without their knowledge. As a result, one of them has been fired and tearfully apologized, while the other one is "on leave until the investigation by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action is complete" for failing to react in outrage over what the dean of the law school termed "reprehensible statements concerning the evaluation of Black students." Both professors are adjunct faculty, meaning they are professionals brought in teach students with their real world experience, and they have no tenure protections.
Here is the 43 seconds of video that engendered the indignation:
Totally insufficient. Her observations could set the WOKE movement back decades. An example must be made before others decide to provide validating evidence or so-called genetic markers.

[FRANCE24] Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has been moved from a jail in Russia’s Vladimir region and his whereabouts are currently unknown, according to a post on Friday on Navalny’s Twitter account, citing his lawyers.Navalny, one of President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance.

The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... ’s most prominent critics, was moved from jail in Moscow last month to serve out a sentence of around two-and-a-half years after a court ruling the West condemned as politically-motivated.
He was initially held at the Kolchugino jail in the Vladimir region northeast of Moscow. The TASS news agency, citing a law enforcement source, reported at the time that Navalny was being held there for quarantine before being moved to the IK-2 penal colony, also in the Vladimir region.
Vadim Kobzev, one of Navalny’s lawyers, said he had visited his client on Thursday, but that another lawyer had tried to see him on Friday only to be told, eventually, that Navalny had been moved somewhere else.

[UPI] A North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... n diplomat who fled the regime's embassy in Kuwait said Pyongyang is quietly working toward restarting diplomacy with the United States, as Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... enforces fiscal austerity across the government.
Ryu Hyeon-woo, Pyongyang's former acting ambassador to Kuwait, said in a recent interview with South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo that North Korea has not given up on restoring diplomacy with Washington.
In July 2019, the regime's foreign ministry inaugurated a new department, Room 612, exclusively dedicated to talks. North Korean diplomats Ri Tae Song and Kim Myong Gil -- the latter the former ambassador to Vietnam -- are in charge, Ryu said.
Ryu defected to South Korea in September 2019, but his whereabouts were not disclosed until January.

[ZERO] Lumber prices have hit $1,000 per thousand board feet, an all-time high in recent weeks, and could extend gains this year as homebuilding and renovation demand outstrips production. Soaring lumber prices have greatly added to construction costs over the last year and could stifle the number of planned residential construction projects across the US.
"Production is going to have a hard time keeping up with demand growth as the world economy bounces back from Covid-19 in 2021-22," Paul Jannke, Forest Economic Advisors LLC.'s principal of lumber, said during a conference this week who Bloomberg quoted. He believes average lumber prices will remain elevated.

[Frane24] Endometriosis can cause cripplingly painful periods, is a common factor in infertility and affects around one in 10 women. Yet for years, it was overlooked by both the general public and doctors. That's now beginning to change. In France, Info-Endometriosis, a group that works to fund research and educate people about the condition, has launched several awareness campaigns. But its members say there's still a long way to go. FRANCE 24's Cécile Galluccio, Armelle Caux and Erika Olavarria report.
A programme prepared by Rebecca Martin and James Vasina.
[NY Post via Right Scoop] Here’s some great news on Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine that comes from Israel’s vaccination campaign over the last 3 months:
NY POST — Real-world data from Israel has revealed that Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine is 94 percent effective in preventing asymptomatic cases, the companies said Thursday.
Using data from Israel’s vaccination campaign between Jan. 17 and March 16, the vaccine was also found to prevent 97 percent of symptomatic disease, severe disease and death, the drugmakers said.
"This comprehensive real-world evidence can be of importance to countries around the world as they advance their own vaccination campaigns one year after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic," the two pharmaceutical companies said in a statement.
The data, which was collected by the Israeli health ministry, has not been peer-reviewed.
Israel has led the fastest vaccination rollout in the world, due in part to an agreement to share data with Pfizer and BioNTech.
The latest analysis is "important" because it occurred when the highly contagious UK variant was prevalent, said Ugur Sahin, chief executive of BioNTech.
More than 80 percent of the samples tested in the country at the time were the UK variant, known as B.1.1.7.
Yeheskel Levy, director of the health ministry, said the study "clearly demonstrates the power of the Covid-19 vaccine to fight this virus."
"We aim to achieve even higher uptake in people of all ages, which gives us hope of regaining normal economic and social function in the not-so-distant future," he said in a statement.
Many have been worried about asymptomatic spread of the virus among those who’ve had both vaccinations. But if this data holds true, then I think it pretty much proves that the asymptomatic spread, at least among Pfizer vaccine recipients, is not an issue any longer.
Which honestly makes sense, but it’s nice to have real world data to back up what should be the case. So maybe the CDC can finally get off their duff and stop holding Americans back who’ve had the vaccine.
Here is a link for the Brave Browser
LONDON (AP) — Google says it won't develop new ways to follow individual users across the internet after it phases out existing ad-tracking technology from its Chrome browser, a change that could shake up the online advertising industry. And if you can't trust a company who reads your email and will deplatform you for straying from the groupthink - who can you trust?
Google says it's taking the move to protect user privacy. It's part of a broader shift in the industry as marketers such as Apple and regulators in the U.K., U.S. and elsewhere increasingly are seeking ways to phase out more egregious data collection practices.
Still, there are concerns that it will add to the tech giant’s already dominant power in online advertising. And the change won't affect Google's largest advertising moneymakers: Search and YouTube.
On Wednesday, the company said it won't replace those cookies with another way of tracking individuals. Because they already have other ways to track you - particularly if you use chrome. They just don't call it 'cookies'.
Instead, Google proposes grouping together web users with similar interests and keeping web histories private on user devices. Google can still track users through its own services like Search or Maps.
Temkin said the company continues to get questions on whether it will join others in the ad tech industry that plan to replace third-party cookies with alternative user-level identifiers. A question he very carefully avoided answering himself you'd notice.
Even though the changes are aimed at tightening up on privacy, Google will still be able to track users of its own services, said James Rosewell, CEO of Marketers for an Open Web, a group of media and advertising companies lobbying against the changes.
"What they’re not saying is that ’people are logged into our products all the time’" and thus give consent to be tracked when they use Search, Maps, Gmail or YouTube, Rosewell said. "What they’re not saying is, ’we’re going to stop all of that’."
Another key bit of background: Apple is preparing to erect a new barrier to monitoring the activities of more than 1 billion iPhone users online.
Its new privacy tool, expected to roll out in a software update early this spring, will require mobile apps to explicitly ask iPhone users for permission to collect information about what they are doing and where. That safeguard is a change from Apple's long-held practice of requiring iPhone users to go into settings to block apps from tracking them.
The added privacy protection on iPhones has riled Facebook, which has relied on widespread tracking to build the second most lucrative digital ad network behind Google. Facebook has repeatedly attacked Apple’s anti-tracking tool as an attack on small businesses that rely on personalized digital ads to subsidize their mostly free services. It's also suggested that the iPhone maker is mostly interested in forcing more apps to charge consumers for their products so it can collect a 15% to 30% commission in its app store. Of course FacistBook doesn't mention that people will consent to allow small businesses which provide value to track them
Analysts say Facebook stands to lose billions of dollars if most iPhone users don’t grant the social network permission to track them.
Google has acknowledged Apple’s new privacy tool could decrease the revenue of some apps in its digital ad network but plans to revise its own iPhone apps so they won’t be affected by the upcoming changes. We have ways of making you talk
Unlike Facebook, Google has a crucial business relationship with Apple. Google pays Apple an estimated $9 billion to $12 billion annually to be the default search engine on the iPhone.
