He averaged 15.1 points and 8.9 rebounds and possesses the ability to step outside.Duke is losing a pair of one-and-done prospects, big man Dereck Lively II and wing Dariq Whitehead, to the NBA draft while junior guard Jeremy Roach has declared for the draft while maintaining his college eligibility.

April 11 is the day to cherish your pets just a little more. It’s National Pet Day! The annual event was founded by Colleen Paige, an animal welfare advocate and pet and family lifestyle expert. While April 11 is the official day to honor our animal companions, pet owners know that every day is an opportunity to celebrate their furry, feathered, or scaled friends.This yearâs celebration takes on added significance as more people have turned to pets for comfort and companionship during the pandemic. But beyond the joy they bring, pets also offer physical and mental health benefits. Research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found that pets can lower cortisol, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, contributing to overall cardiovascular health.However, not all pets have a loving home.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats announced on Tuesday that they will hold their party’s 2024 national convention in Chicago, choosing the biggest liberal city in the Midwest as they try to keep the momentum going after a strong midterm election performance in the key battleground region.Organizers from Chicago, Atlanta and New York spent months lobbying to be the site of the convention, but the final decision lay with President Joe Biden, who is expected to formally launch his reelection campaign in the coming weeks.“Chicago is a great choice,” Biden said in a statement. “Democrats will gather to showcase our historic progress including building an economy from the middle out and bottom up, not from the top down.”The Democratic National Committee said its convention would be held Aug. 19-22 and noted that Illinois, along with Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, was part of the critical Midwestern “blue wall,” which was key to Democrats’ success in the 2020 and 2022 elections. ...Macron heckled by protesters during speech in the Netherlands

A speech by French President Emmanuel Macron was interrupted Tuesday in the Netherlands by protesters attacking him on the state of democracy in France.“I think we lost something; where is French democracy?” shouted one male protester at the beginning of a speech by the French president on European sovereignty at the Nexus Institute in The Hague. Another yelled, “Why did you bypass [the] French parliament?” in reference to the political crisis that has emerged over the president’s flagship pensions reform in France.Macron responded with, “Do you allow me to answer?” and turned toward the protesters, who continued to heckle him over his green track record and held a banner saying, “President of violence and hypocrisy.”France has been gripped by a deepening political crisis since the French president authorized the use of a constitutional maneuver to bypass a vote in the French parliament over his plans to increase the legal age of retirement to 64 from 62.

Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen delivered Chinese leader Xi Jinping a unified message last week, the European Commission argued Tuesday — avoiding comment on the divisions that emerged after.“The messaging which came out of that trilateral meeting was very consistent,” said Eric Mamer, a Commission spokesperson, during a briefing with journalists, days after Macron, the French leader, met in Beijing with Commission chief von der Leyen and Xi. The French president, however, caused a commotion shortly after the gathering when he suggested in an interview with POLITICO and others that Europe should not get dragged into a U.S.-China confrontation over Taiwan, the self-ruled island Beijing claims as its own.The remarks prompted hand-wringing from Europeans who want a more confrontational approach to Beijing and tighter relations with Washington — and were frustrated that Macron was freelancing on Europe’s behalf.Macron and von der Leyen were traveling t...Police look to ID person of interest as part of Prudential station assault investigation
