NASHVILLE, Tennessee, March 27 (Reuters) - A heavily armed 28-year-old fatally shot three children and three adult staffers on Monday at a private Christian school the suspect once attended in Tennessee's capital city before police killed the assailant, authorities said. Drake said the school was singled out for attack but the individual victims were targeted at random.

Reacting in Washington to the latest school shooting, U.S. President Joe Biden urged the U.S. Congress again to pass tougher gun reform legislation. Nashville Mayor John Cooper expressed sympathy for the victims and wrote on social media that his city "joined the dreaded, long list of communities to experience a school shooting."

A Super Bowl ad showed a Tesla slamming into two child-sized mannequins and a stroller. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the ad would raise awareness a Tesla could drive itself while supervised. The 30-second ad was created by The Dawn Project, an organization that campaigns to ban what it calls "unsafe software." The Dawn Project says the ad shows tests it performed with a Tesla using the company's Full Self Driving (FSD) feature. On its website, The Dawn Project says Tesla's FSD software is "not safe for public roads."

☆ India-China border clash video shows troops fighting with sticks and bricks

Though they’re separated by barbed wire, the footage appears to show Indian troops beating the Chinese soldiers with makeshift weapons, including what look like wooden sticks and metal pipes. In several instances, Indian soldiers can be seen throwing bricks or stones. Many of the Chinese soldiers, gathered on the other side of the wire, also appear to be holding long sticks or batons. Speaking to lawmakers on Tuesday, India’s defense minister accused Chinese troops of trying to cross the LAC, saying they were trying to “unilaterally” change the status quo. Later that evening in a statement posted online, the Chinese military’s Western Theater Command accused Indian troops of “illegally” crossing into the Chinese side of the border.

☆ Is Running an Ultramarathon Insane? Possibly. But for ‘Runcationers,’ These 5 Are the Most Tempting.

THE FIRST TIME Cathy Hopkins crossed the finish line of the Comrades ultramarathon in South Africa, she swore to herself: never again. Yes, the 56-mile race between the cities of Pietermaritzburg and Durban had been beautiful. Fans several bodies deep lined the course, dancing, undulating and cheering on the 20,000 runners who’d capriciously decided to run two back-to-back marathons on a Southern Hemisphere winter morning. But running up and down those hills for 11 hours straight was also insane, she decided. “It was such a profound experience,” she said, to watch thousands of determined, if slightly unhinged, strangers push each other toward a massive goal.

☆ Mark Zuckerberg responds to metaverse memes with a redesign

New York CNN —Mark Zuckerberg, in response to a torrent of critical memes mocking the graphics of Meta’s newest project, has heard his critics – and changed his selfie. Many compared the Metaverse design to early 90’s graphics and pointed out how lifeless and childish the Zuckerberg selfie looked. It quickly won the designation “dead eyes.”Well, Zuckerberg has apparently seen the memes, because on Friday he announced there are major updates coming – along with new avatar graphics. On Facebook and Instagram, Zuckerberg posted a photo of his more advanced-looking avatar. Facebook planned to spend at least $10 billion in 2021 on Facebook Reality Labs, dedicating significant resources toward its augmented and virtual reality products and services in last year’s third quarter results.

☆ В Молдове супермаркеты переходят на электронные тендеры по закупке овощей и фруктов

В условиях нарастающего экономического кризиса, давящего на покупательную способность основной массы потребителей, некоторые молдавские ритейлеры ради сокращения затрат меняют модель взаимодействия с поставщиками продуктов плодоовощного ассортимента. Так, руководство супермаркетов GREEN HILLS и VELMART отказывается от долгосрочного сотрудничества с крупными оптовыми посредниками-«консолидаторами» на контрактной основе и возобновляет прежний формат закупок – через открытые тендеры. Чтобы изменить ситуацию, ритейлеры начали использовать свои электронные площадки для проведения в оговоренное время электронных торгов, в которых могут участвовать как местные сельхозпроизводители, так и коммерсанты-импортеры. По каждому наименованию плодоовощного ассортимента проводится отдельный тендер, в котором обычно участвуют до десятка потенциальных поставщиков. В итоге fresh-отделы этих сетей супермаркетов снабжаются сотнями оптовиков и фермеров.
