While we still know little about Sonic Frontiers, the first open-world adventure for the super-fast hedgehog, there is a good reason to hope it will be something special: one of the main writers on the title is Ian Flynn, a big name in the Sonic community, and chief writer on Archie Comic’s Sonic the Hedgehog series and lead writer on IDW Publishing’s Sonic the Hedgehog comics.
Flynn’s path to Sonic Frontiers gives hope Sonic fans (or any fans, really) can, with perseverance, luck, and talent, one day help create the thing they love.
Flynn’s love of Sonic started when his dad brought home a Sega Genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. A passion for the cartoons and comics quickly followed. “They got me hooked young,” Flynn tells us.
Throughout college and working on his English degree, Flynn remained a fan of the blue hedgehog. But on the other side, he panicked: “‘What does one actually do with an English degree?’ I asked myself.” So he decided to try and mix his passions and write a Sonic comic.
Submitting unsolicited manuscripts to comic companies isn’t the norm for landing a job in the industry – not that there is a standard route – and it didn’t immediately pay off. Speaking to (now defunct) website Dreamflint back in 2006, Flynn explained how he sent in scripts for four years before then-editor of the Archie Comic’s Sonic The Hedgehog series, Mike Pellerito, gave Flynn a shot. Flynn told us how he started by writing data files – pages that appeared in the comics and gave detailed breakdowns of characters and locations – though he then moved on to penning test scripts.
Flynn rose fast; within a few months he had become the lead writer of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, a position he held for over a decade.
Going to the source
“There was always the hope,” Flynn says, talking about working on a Sonic game. “After all, I beat the odds and landed my dream job with the comic, so why not hope lightning would strike more than once?”
Still, Flynn wasn’t short of Sonic work – in addition to writing the main book, he also took on writing duties for comics based on the Sonic X and Sonic Boom television series. “Both books took a more comedic approach than the main series,” Flynn explains. “Sonic X was more out of a need to stand out, but also as a way of finding the fun in a series that was under much tighter restrictions. Sonic Boom followed in the footsteps of the cartoon rather than the games and was extra silly.”
Sonic Boom, in particular, opened up a surprising new avenue for Flynn. Showrunner Bill Freiberger had communicated with then-editor Paul Kaminski to have some of the cartoon’s writers contribute to the comic, and vice versa. “[Freiberger] coached me on how to write for TV versus comics and workshopped some pitches with me,” Flynn says. “In comics, there’s a very narrow pipeline from me to the artists. The editors and licensors have input, but the comic script is the blueprint for the art team. With TV, you have directors, storyboarders, animators, voice actors, and their directors, all influencing the final product. The TV script is structurally similar but doesn’t need to be as precise in its moment-to-moment descriptions. It’s less of a blueprint and more of a strongly suggested set of directions. I’m a big fan of the current voice team, so it was a thrill to hear my script realized by them.”
Flynn was riding high at this point, regularly penning three monthly Sonic comics and a handful of Sonic Boom TV scripts.
Then one day, everything fell apart.
End of an era
Despite having preliminary plans for issue #300 and beyond, all Archie Sonic comics abruptly ceased production in 2017, with no explanation given. This was a gut punch to fans and the books’ creatives alike, Flynn included. “I was gutted and more than a little terrified,” he recalls. “It was my regular gig, a reliable source of income, and my dream job. All of that was gone in the blink of an eye. And right before Christmas. If there was a new book, I hoped I might be involved in some capacity and point out all the talented folks I had worked with, but there were no guarantees.”
It wasn’t long after Archie Sonic’s cancelation that IDW announced it had gained the publishing rights to Sonic comics. The fans immediately jumped on the bandwagon to try and get Flynn on board. Then-editor Joe Hughes reached out to Flynn and asked if he was interested. “The answer was a thankful and emphatic ‘Yes,’” Flynn says.
At this point in his writing career, Flynn’s written for multiple Sonic comics across two different publishers, game tie-in stories, and cartoons. His fans have clamored for years for Sega to let him work on one of the games, and, at last, that opportunity has come.
“The working relationship between IDW and Sega is a bit different than the Archie days,” Flynn says, “which opened up different avenues of communication. I can’t say for certain who took notice of me when, but the offer was made [to work on Sonic Frontiers], and I gave another emphatic ‘Yes.’”
The chance to work on a significant Sonic title is “Surreal,” Flynn says. “Daunting, even. There are a lot of expectations and assumptions, and all I can do is my best and hope folks enjoy the experience. The team has been a pleasure to work with, and I hope to do it again one day.” | https://www.techradar.com/news/how-a-sonic-fanfic-writer-ended-up-leading-sonic-frontiers | 2022-04-18T12:40:14Z | https://www.techradar.com/news/how-a-sonic-fanfic-writer-ended-up-leading-sonic-frontiers | false | 3 |

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UpHealth, Inc. ("UpHealth" or the "Company") (NYSE: UPH), a global digital health company delivering technology platforms, infrastructure, and services to modernize care delivery and health management, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2021.
"In the third and fourth quarters of 2021, the leadership team intensified its focus on selected strategic priorities and on the organization-wide integration. We are confident that these initiatives will result in economies of scale, product offering innovations and cross-selling opportunities," said Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer. "The groundwork we laid last year will come to fruition in 2022."
"In addition, in 2021 we successfully completed the business combination with GigCapital2 and our first fiscal year-end report along with a meticulous examination of our management processes and controls. After an arduous 'clean-up' process, we've instituted additional controls and are committed to rigorous compliance."
Dr. Balakrishnan added, "We regret that unexpected collection challenges, especially with one long-standing customer, resulted in lower-than-expected revenue and EBITDA. We're working diligently to complete the entire collections due to the Company and are looking forward to a fiscally successful 2022."
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue of $33.9 million, with gross margin of 22%
- Fourth quarter 2021 revenues were affected by one-time factors, including:
- Segment results:
- Goodwill impairment of $297.9 million
- Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was negative $12.5 million due to $3.9 million in write-offs of receivables and prepaid expenses stemming from transactions that exclusively predated the business combination and by lower revenues.
During the fourth quarter 2021, the Company's Integrated Care Management segment provided services to a customer but did not recognize revenue associated with those services due to concerns regarding the customer's creditworthiness and also reserved $15.6 million of outstanding receivables from the customer from the second and third quarter 2021. In addition, during the fourth quarter 2021, the Company recorded a $6 million contingent liability in cost of goods and services related to services provided by a vendor to the Integrated Care Management segment, which is payable as proceeds are collected from the customer. As a result, fourth quarter 2021 gross margin for both the Company and its Integrated Care Management segment were significantly impacted by recognizing the cost of goods and services without recognizing the related revenue. If the Company had not recorded the $6 million contingent liability, the Company's gross margin during the fourth quarter would have been 38% on a non-GAAP basis, and the Integrated Care Management segment's gross margin would have been 72% on a non-GAAP basis. The Company added back the total contingent liability to the vendor of $17.8 million to adjusted EBITDA since the Company is not required to pay these expenses unless and until payment is received from the customer.
Please refer to the commentary and tables below under "Non-GAAP Financial Information."
Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Highlights:
- On a pro forma basis, fiscal 2021 revenues of $148.9 million, an increase of 28% versus the comparable year-ago period, with a pro forma gross margin for fiscal 2021 of 35%
- On a GAAP basis, revenue for fiscal 2021 of $123.8 million, with a gross margin of 35%
- Segment results:
- Goodwill impairment of $297.9 million
- Fiscal 2021 adjusted EBITDA of negative $6.5 million and pro forma adjusted EBITDA of negative $4.0 million
As stated above, during the fourth quarter 2021, the Company's Integrated Care Management segment provided services to a customer but did not recognize revenue associated with those services due to concerns that arose regarding the customer's creditworthiness and reserved $15.6 million of outstanding receivables from the customer from the second and third quarter 2021. In addition, during the fourth quarter 2021, the Company recorded a $6 million contingent liability in cost of goods and services related to services provided by a vendor to the Integrated Care Management segment, which is payable as proceeds are collected from the customer. As a result, fiscal year 2021 gross margin for both the Company and its Integrated Care Management segment were significantly impacted by recognizing the cost of goods and services without recognizing the related revenue. If the Company had not recorded the $6 million contingent liability, the Company's gross margin for 2021 would have been 40% on a non-GAAP basis and 39% on a pro forma basis, and the Integrated Care Management segment's gross margin would have been 51% on both a non-GAAP and pro forma basis. The Company added back the total contingent liability to the vendor of $17.8 million to adjusted EBITDA since the Company is not required to pay these expenses unless and until payment is received from the customer.
Please refer to the commentary and tables below under "Non-GAAP Financial Information."
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Business Highlights:
- The Company closed pricing of $43.0 million public offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $3.3 million, to further strengthen balance sheet and secure capital for continued growth.
- Martti™, the virtual care infrastructure platform in the US, continued to expand its reach across U.S. health systems with recent large wins at Yale New Haven Health, RWJ Barnabas and Ascension Health, resulting in approximately $10 million in annualized bookings. Martti™ currently supports 168,000 encounters per month and over 26,000 video endpoints at over 2,100 healthcare locations in the US.
- The Company recorded its largest volume of telehealth use in the US with over 7.4 million minutes of consultations in Q4, compared to 6.1 million minutes in Q2 and 4.6 million minutes in Q3 2020.
- The Company opened its first digitally enabled hospital in the Indian state of Nagaland. The hospital, HelloLyf HX, is the first facility of its kind and a revolutionary re-thinking of traditional hospitals with a state-of-the-art climate resilient design vetted and approved by the acclaimed Indian Institute Technology, Roorkee.
- After successful implementation of projects in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Odisha, and West Bengal, UpHealth won a contract to set up 550+ Hellolyf CX digital dispensaries in the Indian State of Madhya Pradesh, resulting in a total of 750+ government-placed facilities across India.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
In October, UpHealth raised $43.0 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $3.3 million, from the issuance of approximately 26.5 million shares of common stock, substantially increasing the Company's free float and increasing the total number of outstanding shares to approximately 144 million. Proceeds of the equity offering are enabling UpHealth to satisfy its short-term liabilities and fund ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements associated with the Company's continued growth.
Fiscal 2022 Financial Outlook
For the year-ended December 31st, 2022, the Company is projecting:
- Revenue between $205 and $233 million, a 38-56% growth rate,
- Gross margins of 42% to 43%, and
- Adjusted EBITDA of $14 to $19 million.
"As we successfully complete our first yearly financial reporting as a public company, UpHealth is positioned to continue to leverage its scale and differentiation in the US and globally and is focused on solid and sustained profitability. The demand for our products and services in our target markets is unprecedented, enabling us to expand systematically on a global scale. UpHealth will grow revenue substantially in the integrated care management and virtual care management business lines, while continuing the fundamental transformation process started a few quarters ago to continue building an industry leading, global healthcare enterprise", said Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan.
CEO transition
The Company announced on April 12, 2022, that a search is underway for a new CEO. The company expects to announce the new appointment in the coming weeks. Until that time, the current CEO, Dr. Ramesh Balakrishnan, will remain in place. Thereafter, he will transition to a different role in the company.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement UpHealth's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, UpHealth presents investors with non-GAAP financial measures, including pro forma revenue, pro forma gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA.

- Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income (loss) attributable to UpHealth, Inc., excluding depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; lease abandonment expenses; goodwill impairment; contingent liabilities; acquisition, integration, and transformation costs; other income (expense); income tax benefit (expense); income (loss) from equity method investment; net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests; and other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to UpHealth, Inc. Other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to UpHealth, Inc. may include transaction expenses in connection with capital raising transactions (whether debt, equity or equity-linked) and acquisitions, whether or not consummated, purchase price adjustments, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, or other expenses determined to be non-recurring.

UpHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to UpHealth's financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the items described above provide an additional measure of UpHealth's operating results and facilitates comparisons of UpHealth's core operating performance against prior periods and business model objectives.

UpHealth believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in their assessment of UpHealth's operating performance.
Pro forma revenue, pro forma gross margin and adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of UpHealth's results as reported under GAAP. UpHealth compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP financial measures and providing investors with reconciliations from UpHealth's GAAP operating results to the non-GAAP financial measures for the relevant periods.
The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

Classic risotto is made with starchy medium-grain Italian rice, such as Arborio or carnaroli. It is toasted then cooked, sometimes slowly, over low heat as broth is ladled into the pan in stages. While the liquid absorbs, the cook stirs, stirs and keeps stirring.
This “risotto,” from our book “COOKish,” which limits recipes to just six ingredients without sacrificing flavor, uses pearl couscous (which actually is a pasta) and higher heat to produce “grains” with a rich, creamy consistency.
Much as with rice, stirring releases starch from the couscous that thickens into a creamy sauce, and the “risotto” finishes in the time it takes to cook pasta.
The wheaty flavor of pearl couscous (sometimes called Israeli couscous or ptitim) is a perfect match for grassy, subtly sweet asparagus and the salty, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese.
We reserve the asparagus stalk and tip pieces separately; they’re added at different times because they cook at slightly different rates. Don’t use especially thick or particularly slender asparagus for this recipe; pencil-sized spears will be perfectly tender when the couscous is done.
PEARL COUSCOUS ‘RISOTTO’ WITH ASPARAGUS
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
4 tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter, cut into 1-tablespoon pieces
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup pearl couscous
⅓ cup dry white wine
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut on the diagonal into ½-inch pieces; reserve the stalks and tips separately
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, finely grated (½ cup), plus more to serve
½ cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, plus more to serve
In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper, then cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add the couscous and cook, stirring often, until it begins to brown.
Pour in the wine and cook, stirring, until the pan is almost dry, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups water and ½ teaspoon salt, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the asparagus stalks and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, then stir in the asparagus tips. Continue to cook, stirring, until almost all the liquid has been absorbed and the asparagus is tender, about another 2 minutes.
Off heat, add the Parmesan, parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then stir until the butter melts. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with additional Parmesan and parsley. | https://www.registercitizen.com/living/article/Sub-in-pearl-couscous-for-rice-for-a-quick-17087680.php | 2022-04-18T12:53:03Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/living/article/Sub-in-pearl-couscous-for-rice-for-a-quick-17087680.php | true | 16 |

Home with features that protect against climate-related disasters can sell for up to 2.4% more
- Electric vehicle chargers and drought-resistant landscaping can help a home sell more than nine days faster than similar homes.
- Homes equipped with features that protect against a climate-related disaster, such as hurricane shutters or stilts, can sell for as much as 2.4% more than expected.
- Energy-efficient features, such as double-pane windows and solar panels, contribute to homes selling for more and, sometimes, faster.
SEATTLE, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Homes with eco-friendly features can sell faster than expected, indicating that today's buyers are seeking out and competing for more-sustainable homes. A Zillow® analysis finds homes with electric vehicle charging stations and drought-resistant landscaping can sell more than nine days faster than similar homes. Features that offer some protection from climate disasters and other natural hazards, such as hurricane shutters or stilts, can help a home sell for more money.
"Climate change is impacting what buyers are looking for in a home and how they want to live," said Amanda Pendleton, Zillow's home trends expert. "A previous Zillow survey found nearly two-thirds of young adults believe climate change will impact their homes or communities in their lifetime. Those generations are now aging into their prime home-buying years, conscious of their ecological footprint and making purchase decisions based on their beliefs, values and principles."
Zillow research finds that large shares of buyers seriously consider flooding (55%), tornadoes (41%), hurricanes (35%), and earthquakes (29%) when choosing a home. The frequency of these severe weather events and other natural hazards is putting a price premium on homes that have features designed to protect against such disasters.
Listings that mention hurricane or storm shutters can sell for 1.4% more than similar homes. Homes on stilts or piers, built to defend against flooding, can sell for 1.1% more. Homes that have undergone seismic retrofitting to make them more resistant to earthquakes can sell 19 days faster than similar homes, the largest days-on-market boost of all the features studied. Storm or tornado shelters contribute to a home selling about a day faster than expected.
Features that reduce monthly energy bills can help a home sell faster and, sometimes, for more money. Homes with listing descriptions that mention double-pane windows can sell a week faster than similar homes and for 1% more than expected. Homes with solar panels can sell for 1.4% more. Listings that tout programmable thermostats, smart sprinkler systems and smart lights can sell up to six days faster than expected.
Energy-saving features are increasingly desirable in a high-inflation world where many other expenses are rapidly rising. Zillow's 2021 Consumer Housing Trends Report found that recent buyers are more likely to say an energy-efficient home is very or extremely important (67%), compared to 2019, when 56% of buyers felt that way. And in a recent survey, a panel of housing experts predicted energy prices would increase this year more than home prices, rents, food costs, wages and stock prices.
Zillow looked at environment-related features mentioned in listing descriptions for 3.1 million home sales in 2020 and 2021. Sellers whose homes have these upgrades would be wise to highlight them in their listing description if they're looking to sell for top dollar. Buyers, meanwhile, can make faster, smarter decisions by using a new tool that helps identify these green features. Zillow's Homes to Compare tool gives shoppers a comprehensive chart that compares up to five homes side by side on more than 70 key listing details, including eco-friendly home features.

Albury Hotspurs women's coach Justin Wild insists Albury United remain the team to beat
Justin Wild has laughed off the suggestion his Albury Hotspurs side are favourites in the women's competition this season.
Albury United coach Tony Cigana declared Hotspurs "the benchmark" after they came flying out of the blocks with two big league wins before knocking the Greens out of the FA Cup.
But with United, the reigning champions, having already racked up 53 goals in five straight wins, his opposite number isn't buying it.
"I don't think even he believed that," Wild said.
"They are the team to beat, everyone knows it, and that's why our girls rise to those games.
ALSO IN SPORT:
"They really like playing those tough teams, they like the challenge.
"I think we'll be in the top three.
"Melrose are going really well and Wangaratta have definitely improved since the first time I saw them.
"Top position is probably United's but second and third will be a real battle between the three of us."
AWFA resumes this weekend with United at home to Diamonds and Hotspurs away to Myrtleford.
Both games kick off at 11:20am on Sunday.

Graham Potter says Brighton have no fresh injury concerns for their upcoming game against Manchester City after their 1-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday.
Albion duo Adam Webster and Adam Lallana have overcome calf and hamstring issues respectively but Jakub Moder is sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Shane Duffy is out with a thigh problem and Steven Alzate missed the win over Spurs due to illness.
Yves Bissouma is serving a two-match ban after picking up ten yellow cards this season but other than that, the Seagulls are not far off full strength. Now Potter has given an update ahead on their team news ahead of facing Manchester City on Wednesday and Southampton on Sunday.

"Everyone was okay [after Spurs]. We have been recovering this morning but we have no problems. Yves [Bissouma] is suspended but everyone else will be okay. Steven Alzate has been back in light training and there is a chance he could be involved in the squad," he said.
On Bissouma, he added: "We have played without him before and we’ve done ok. We’ve got players who are itching to play, it’s going to be exciting finding the right one to come into the team." | https://www.sussexlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/potter-bissouma-brighton-man-city-6966958 | 2022-04-18T13:13:10Z | https://www.sussexlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/potter-bissouma-brighton-man-city-6966958 | true | 1 |

The Morning Show descends into chaos as The Voice Australia host Sonia Kruger's microphone stops working: 'It's getting weird!'
Sonia Kruger poked fun after her microphone stopped working during an interview on Channel Seven's The Morning Show on Monday.
The 56-year-old made an appearance on the breakfast program to discuss The Voice Australia, ahead of its premiere on Monday night.
But Sonia's microphone stopped working, making it difficult for hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies to interview her.
Hilarious! The Voice Australia host Sonia Kruger (pictured) poked fun after her microphone stopped working during appearance on The Morning Show on Monday
They then handed her two microphones so they could hear her properly.
'Can everybody hear me?' Sonia joked as she held both microphones to her mouth.
'This doesn't happen on The Voice does it?' Kylie asked.
Technical fault: Sonia's microphone stopped working, making it difficult for hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies (pictured) to interview her
'What we did during Covid was we bought some microphones over the internet,' Larry joked.
He then crouched behind her and held both microphones close to her face so that she could continue talking.
Kylie asked: 'Do you think it's getting weird?' as Sonia admitted: 'It's getting weird.'

BALTIMORE (AP) — Pinch-hitter Rougned Odor delivered the clutch hit the Orioles had been waiting for — against his former team, no less.
Odor broke a scoreless tie with a two-run single in the eighth inning, and Baltimore went on to a 5-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday. The Orioles were 2 for 28 with runners in scoring position in the series — and 7 for 83 on the season — before Odor, Kelvin Gutiérrez and Jorge Mateo came through in succession during a five-run rally.
Odor played for the Yankees last year and was released following the season before catching on with Baltimore.
“I think every win is emotional for everybody,” Odor said. “It’s not because I played against the Yankees. I played with that team last year. It’s just because we won the game.”
Ryan Mountcastle started the Baltimore eighth with a single and Trey Mancini walked. Two outs later, Robinson Chirinos drew a 10-pitch walk to set the stage for Odor.
“Robinson Chirinos won us the game, with that at-bat,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “He’s facing (Jonathan) Loáisiga, who’s really good, and great stuff, and puts together just a pro at-bat to get a walk there.”
With the bases loaded, Odor went to the plate as a pinch-hitter and singled sharply up the middle against Loáisiga (0-1). Gutiérrez followed with a two-run double, and Mateo added an RBI single.
Jorge López (1-1) won in relief for Baltimore, which took two of three against the Yankees, with both victories coming in its final at-bat.
New York starter Nestor Cortes was terrific for five-plus innings, striking out 12 while allowing three hits and a walk. Cortes threw an immaculate inning in the fourth, striking out the side on nine pitches. He also struck out the side in the second.
Baltimore’s Bruce Zimmermann went five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks with six strikeouts.
“Tough day for us. Frustrating,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “I thought they pitched us really tough today, but we’ve got to find a way to get on the board and support our pitching, and just couldn’t get much going.”
New York had runners on first and third with one out in the fourth, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa bounced into a double play.
Yankees left fielder Tim Locastro, recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before the game, made a sensational diving catch in the sixth on a ball hit to left-center by Mancini.
UNUSUAL TACTIC
Earlier in the game, the Yankees put four players in the outfield against Mancini, but it didn’t matter much because that sixth-inning fly was the only ball he put in play. Mancini drew two walks and struck out once.
ZEROS
Cortes and Zimmermann have each held the opposition scoreless through two starts this year.
“I really didn’t realize how well he was pitching until I came out of the game, because I was spending my half-innings underneath the tunnel,” Zimmermann said. “But to be in there and to see the guys keep grinding out at-bats — Robbie having a massive two-out walk there — and finally getting to break through with runners in scoring position, that’s the kind of things that’s going to win us ballgames.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Baltimore transferred LHP John Means (sprained elbow) to the 60-day injured list.
UP NEXT
The Orioles begin a four-game series at Oakland on Monday night. Spenser Watkins starts for Baltimore against Frankie Montas (1-1).
The Yankees are off Monday before a three-game set at Detroit. Gerrit Cole takes the mound for New York on Tuesday night against Eduardo Rodriguez (0-1).

Samantha Ruth Prabhu Regrets Having Tattoos With Naga Chaitanya Link? Her Latest Advice To A Fan Hints So
Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is gearing up for the release of her most-awaited film Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal, recently indulged in an AMA (Ask me anything) session on Instagram. The South actress got candid with her fans as she shared her inner thoughts and dreams during the fun session.
Among all the questions, what caught the most attention is her reply to a curious fan who asked the 'Oh Baby' actress for tattoo suggestions. Rather than giving suggestions, the actress was surprisingly seen advising the person to never get a tattoo. Though Samantha didn't reveal the reason whatsoever, she said, "You know the one thing I'd tell my younger self is never ever get a tattoo. Never. Never ever. Ever, get a tattoo." Well, her disapproval about getting inked despite having three tattoos, evidently hints that she regrets having them, at least post her separation from Naga Chaitanya.
For the unversed, all the three tattoos inked on her body have a Naga Chaitanya connection. Before confirming their relationship, the two were spotted flaunting identical Viking symbol tattoos, which simply means creating one's own reality. Her second tattoo is the initials of her first film opposite Naga Chaitanya, Yeh Maaya Chesave, which is inked on her nape.
In July 2019, Samantha gracefully flaunted her third tattoo inked on her side rib dedicated to her then hubby Chaitanya. Sharing the photo she wrote, "Living my best life ...😎...

Let's say it's time to turn in your leased car. Do you buy the car outright, since getting a new one right now is so difficult?
Many drivers want to buy that car they have been driving for 3 years, but are ending up with a battle on their hands this year, even if they have a contract to purchase it.
Tariah Wiley is among them. She loves the 2019 Honda Civic that she leased three years ago.
"I love it," she said. "I mean, I wouldn't have kept it if I didn't like it."
So she decided to purchase it when the lease came up, especially since she was originally offered a great buy out of $15,567.
"It was stated in clear words, no way around it, that was clear," she said.
But it wasn't. When she sat down with the dealer, she learned it would now cost $19,834 to purchase her own car. "That was about $4,300 more than what I should have paid," she said.
Wiley says the salesman's explanation made no sense.
"They said 'since you are financing it, we have to buy the car from Honda, so they are charging us a fee, so we have to charge you a fee.'"
3-year-old cars are worth much more now than originally thought
This is happening more and more these days, according to Karl Brauer of the car buying website iSeeCars.com.
Given today's market conditions and sky-high used cars prices, he says dealers can get a lot more money reselling your lease to someone else, which means they don't really have an incentive for you to buy it at the price they agreed to long ago.
"The dealers know the value of these cars is far higher than it was 3 years ago when that residual value was written into the contract," Brauer said. "And it is probably painful for them to have an empty lot, and watch an existing customer come in and scoop up the car for a residual value from 3 years ago."
Brauer says while it's illegal to change a contract, watch out for:
- Reconditioning fees
- Administrative fees
- Termination fees
- A mandatory extended warranty
Tariah Wiley decided to tell the dealer a contract was a contract.
"I know a lot of people are not going to advocate for themselves like I did," she said. "But they should."
She says the dealer finally agreed to sell the car for what she was originally promised. So, watch for hidden fees, so you don't waste your money.

Alexandre Lacazette admits he 'didn't like' Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to Instagram use
ARSENAL cancelled the contract of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January and allowed him to join Barcelona.
Arteta: Southampton defeat has left players feeling ‘really down’
Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette admits he “didn’t like” Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the Gabon international moved to the Gunners in 2018 due to his Instagram use. Aubameyang scored 92 goals in 163 matches for the Gunners but was banished from the team earlier this season following a disciplinary breach and was allowed to join Barcelona in January.
“I had some misconceptions about him,” Lacazette revealed. “Before he arrived, I didn’t like him. To be honest, I’m not mates with the Aubameyang you see on Instagram. I’m mates with Pierre-Emerick. People don’t know Pierre-Emerick. They know Aubameyang.”
Lacazette and Aubameyang spent four years as team-mates in north London and started together when Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 to lift the FA Cup in 2020. Aubameyang scored both of his side’s goals on that occasion as the Gunners won their first piece of silverware under Mikel Arteta.
The duo also partnered each other in attack when the north Londoners lost 4-1 to Chelsea in the Europa League final in 2019. But towards their latter days together, Lacazette struggled to hold down a place in Arteta’s starting team as Aubameyang was preferred instead of him.

Aubameyang has carved out quite the reputation on Instagram and has accumulated a staggering 12.2million followers. But if Lacazette’s comments are anything to go by, his personality away from the camera is very different.
Aubameyang has been nothing short of a revelation since swapping the Emirates Stadium for the Nou Camp. The 32-year-old has played 15 times for the Catalan giants and has already racked up 10 goals. And his arrival in Spain has coincided with a purple patch for the club in La Liga as the team have climbed to second in the table.

The striker has notched in five of his nine league games for Barcelona and struck a hat-trick as Xavi’s side thrashed Valencia 4-1 in February. In fact, since Aubameyang joined the club, Barcelona haven’t lost a single league game.
But the star was unable to prevent his new side from crashing out of the Europa League at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt last week. Barca drew the first leg 1-1 in Germany before they were stunned 3-2 in the return leg at the Nou Camp as Aubameyang blanked in both encounters.
Lacazette could soon be set to follow his former team-mate through the Emirates exit as his contract expires this summer. He has refused to pen a new deal and has been tipped to return to France and sign for Lyon. Speaking about his future, Lacazette told Canal Plus: “I am in discussions with a lot of clubs. I am open. I want to play in Europe, it’s been a long time since I played in the Champions League and I’m missing it." | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1597506/Arsenal-Alexandre-Lacazette-Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Instagram-Barcelona-Lyon | 2022-04-18T13:38:05Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1597506/Arsenal-Alexandre-Lacazette-Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Instagram-Barcelona-Lyon | true | 1 |

ABBVIE'S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
AbbVie is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. The company's revenues will come under significant pressure in the coming years when its best-selling drug, Humira, will lose patent protection in 2023. Accordingly, AbbVie's future revenue and earnings depend in large part on its ability to develop new sources of revenue to offset Humira's lost sales. Rinvoq—an anti-inflammatory drug manufactured by AbbVie and used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other diseases by inhibiting Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes—was touted as one such drug. Rinvoq was initially approved in the United States to treat only moderate to severe RA. However, AbbVie was actively pursuing additional treatment indications and, in 2020, asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve Rinvoq for the treatment of several other diseases.
As is relevant here, Rinvoq is similar to other JAK inhibitor drugs, including Xeljanz, manufactured by Pfizer Inc. When the FDA approved Xeljanz in 2012 for the treatment of RA, it required an additional safety trial to evaluate Xeljanz's risk of triggering certain serious side effects. Beginning in February 2019, the FDA repeatedly warned the public that the safety trial indicated that Xeljanz's use could lead to serious heart-related issue, cancer, and other adverse events. Notwithstanding the similarities between Rinvoq and Xeljanz, during the Class Period, Defendants assured investors that Rinvoq was far safer than Xeljanz and not subject to the same regulatory risks.
However, investors began to learn the truth about Rinvoq's significant risks on June 25, 2021, when AbbVie revealed that the FDA was delaying its review of expanded treatment applications for Rinvoq due to the safety concerns associated with Xeljanz. On this news, the price of AbbVie common stock declined $1.76 per share, or approximately 1.5%, from a close of $114.74 per share on June 24, 2021, to close at $112.98 per share on June 25, 2021.
Then, on September 1, 2021, the FDA announced that final results from the Xeljanz safety trial established an increased risk of serious adverse events, even with low doses of Xeljanz. As a result, the FDA determined that it would require new and updated warnings for Xeljanz and Rinvoq because Rinvoq "share[s] similar mechanisms of action with Xeljanz" and "may have similar risks as seen in the Xeljanz safety trial." The FDA also indicated that it would further limit approved indications for Rinvoq as a result of these safety concerns. On this news, the price of AbbVie common stock declined $8.51 per share, or more than 7%, from a close of $120.78 per share on August 31, 2021, to close at $112.27 per share on September 1, 2021.
After the Class Period, on December 3, 2021, AbbVie announced that the FDA had updated Rinvoq's label to require additional safety warnings and limit marketing of Rinvoq to only its use after treatment with other drugs has failed. On January 11, 2022, Defendants admitted that these changes to Rinvoq's label would negatively impact sales, forcing the Company to reduce its long-term guidance for Rinvoq's sales in 2025.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, about the company's business and operations. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) safety concerns about Xeljanz extended to Rinvoq and other JAK inhibitors; (2) as a result, it was likely that the FDA would require additional safety warnings for Rinvoq and would delay the approval of additional treatment indications for Rinvoq; and (3) therefore, Defendants' statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis, As a result of the Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the significant decline in the market value of AbbVie's securities, AbbVie investors have suffered significant damages.
WHAT CAN I DO?
AbbVie investors may, no later than June 6, 2022, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages AbbVie investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.

WHO CAN BE A LEAD PLAINTIFF?

The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.

Manchester City will look to settle for nothing less than all three points as they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Etihad on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola's side were knocked out of the FA Cup over the weekend by Liverpool. The Merseysiders are also breathing down their necks in the race for the Premier League title. For now, Manchester City are at the top of the Premier League table with 74 points from 31 games.
Liverpool have 73 from 31 and will take on Manchester United on Tuesday night and could temporarily move to the top of the table with a win.
Pep Guardiola made several changes to his starting lineup for the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.
But he will go back to his strongest lineup against Brighton & Hove Albion who will come to the Etihad on the back of wins against Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. Manchester City are winless in their last three matches across all competitions and Wednesday's encounter could prove to be quite a thrilling one.
Graham Potter's side were going through a rough patch until they decided to get up and assert their dominance in North London. They had lost six of their previous seven matches, heading into the game against Arsenal on April 9.
Leandro Trossard and Enock Mwepu were on target for the Seagulls as they beat the Gunners 2-1 at the Emirates. A 90th-minute Trossard strike was enough for them to eke out all three points against Spurs last weekend.
Their away record this season is praiseworthy, having lost just thrice on the road. But they will need to produce yet another solid performance to get the better of this Manchester City side who will throw everything they've got at them.
Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Manchester City have never lost at home to Brighton in the league.
- Brighton & Hove Albion have lost eight of their nine Premier League games against Manchester City. They recorded a 3-2 win against the Cityzens at AMEX last season.
- Having won 1-0 against Liverpool last season, Brighton could become the third team to win an away game against the reigning Premier League champions in consecutive seasons. Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are the only teams to do it till now.
- Manchester City have failed to win two of their last three Premier League games. They drew against Crystal Palace on March 15 and were held to a 2-2 draw by Liverpool on April 10.
- Brighton & Hove Albion's Premier League record on Wednesdays is rather poor, having won just one of 16.
Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction
Manchester City will be determined to get a win here by hook, line or sinker. They will be desperate to respond to their FA Cup semi-final loss and to also keep Liverpool on their trail. Brighton will be treated to wave after wave of City attacks and they'll do well to avoid taking too much damage.

Gasly: Losing Monaco F1 GP would be a 'shocker'
Pierre Gasly thinks it would be a ‘shocker’ if the Monaco Grand Prix loses its place on the Formula 1 calendar.
With F1 getting close to its limit of 24 races, and new grands prix coming on board in Las Vegas and Qatar, there is increasing competition among the current venues to retain their places on the calendar.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has been clear that even classic circuits need to earn their spot and cannot rely on past glories to guarantee future grands prix.
That talk has prompted suggestions that Monaco could be one of the races under threat, especially as it is an outlier on F1’s business model in terms of rights hosting fee and its television production.
Frenchman Gasly said he would find it difficult to accept Monaco losing its place, as the race has been such an iconic event in F1’s history.
“That would be a bit of a shocker if Monaco gets taken out of the calendar,” said the AlphaTauri driver. “It's probably the most iconic race in the world.
“Talking to non-F1 fans, everyone had heard about Monaco for various reasons, whether it's racing, whether it's party-related, whether it's all of the action that happens around the grand prix. It's a very iconic weekend.
“I think, and I really hope, we get to experience it as drivers because it's probably the toughest track of the season, the most challenging, and is my favourite one.”
Pierre Gasly, AlphaTauri AT03

Gasly said that a number of historic venues – like Spa-Francorchamps as well – were important enough to remain as ever-presents on the calendar.
“Obviously to me, I have a very special attachment to these races,” he said. “My home race (France), and Monaco kind of feels like a home race, then Spa is the closest race from my home town, so I usually have a lot of support there.
“I think they are very iconic tracks, especially Spa and Monaco, they are my two favourite tracks. I think they are part of the history and DNA of Formula 1 and they should be on the calendar every year.
“We know F1 nowadays, there are a lot of things involved in how to plan the whole season, so we'll see what happens. But personally, I really hope we can keep them over the next few years."
Monaco’s F1 contract expires after this year’s race, but the Automobile Club de Monaco’s president, Michel Boeri, said this week he was adamant a new deal would get sorted with F1.
"I'd like to refer to what has been read in the press, where it is said that we may struggle to keep organising grand prix races beyond the 2022 event, so as early as next year,” Boeri said at an event with the marshals ahead of next month’s race, according to La Gazette de Monaco.
“It was implied that the fees required by Liberty [Media] were too excessive for Monaco and the Grand Prix would no longer be held.
“That's untrue. We are still in talks with them and must now seal the deal with a contract.
“I can guarantee you that the grand prix will keep taking place beyond 2022. I don't know if it will be a three- or five-year contract, but that's a detail.”

Streaming services take a hit as inflation forces Brits to choose
By Anna Cooban, CNN Business
Britons are abandoning streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ to save money as they suffer the biggest cut to their disposable incomes since the 1950s.
Streaming services boomed during the pandemic as people were forced to spend more time at home. With lockdown restrictions lifted, Britons canceled about 1.5 million subscriptions in the first three months of 2022, up by around 500,000 from the previous quarter. More than a third did so to save money, according to a new report by media consultancy Kantar.
Soaring inflation in the United Kingdom — which hit a 30-year high of 7% last month — has forced many households to cut back on non-essential spending, and subscriptions to video streaming platforms are firmly in the firing line.
“Households are starting to seriously prioritize where and how their disposable income is spent,” the report said.
Kantar’s report showed that the number of British households with at least one subscription fell by 215,000 during the quarter, with a record 38% of customers also planning to cancel subscriptions over the next three months due to money concerns.
“The proportion of consumers planning to cancel [subscription video on demand] services and stating the primary reason as ‘wanting to save money’ has risen to its highest ever level at 38%, up from 29% in Q4 ’21,” the report said.
Rising energy and food prices are expected to dent household disposable incomes by 2.2% per person over the next 12 months, according to the UK’s Office for Budget Responsibility. That’s the largest drop in living standards since 1956 when government records began.
Dominic Sunnebo, global insight director at Kantar’s Worldpanel division, said the latest figures were “sobering” for streamers.
“The evidence from these findings suggests that British households are now proactively looking for ways to save, and the SVoD market is already seeing the effects of this,” he said.
Viewers turned away from Disney at a much faster rate than Netflix and Amazon as its customer churn tripled quarter-on-quarter to hit 12%.
Kantar estimates that Netflix — the world’s largest streaming platform — has about 12 million subscribers in Britain, representing between 5% and 6% of its global customer base.

Rome E-Prix: Vandoorne outduels Frijns to take pole for Mercedes
Mercedes' Stoffel Vandoorne battled to pole position for Formula E's opening Rome E-Prix, dispatching Robin Frijns in the final duel as the Envision driver struggled with grip.
Having been drawn in the same opening groups stage together, Vandoorne and Frijns had logged exactly the same time to get through to the duels, hinting at a close encounter between the two.
Vandoorne kept it clean in the final, as Frijns endured a heart-in-mouth moment as he stopped just in time to make it around the second corner - miraculously losing only a smidgen of time to the Belgian.
But Frijns continued to look considerably more wayward in the following clutch of corners, meaning Vandoorne was able to keep his nose ahead to beat his rival by 0.35s.
Vandoorne's semi-final against Antonio Felix da Costa was an incredibly close bout and, no sooner had the Belgian looked on the cusp of a break against the DS Techeetah driver after the second sector, he took the Turn 12-13 chicane aggressively and lost his margin - with da Costa marginally ahead.
But Vandoorne held his nerve and kept it clean in the final array of 90-degree corners - sitting a mere 0.015s to the good over da Costa to stamp his card into the final.
Da Costa was the second Techeetah that Vandoorne had to brush aside on his road to the final; Jean-Eric Vergne had looked rapid in the lead-up to his quarter-final battle, but was unable to get dialled into the lap and was bested by four tenths of a second by Vandoorne.
Frijns, meanwhile, beat Andre Lotterer in his quarter-final duel - the Porsche driver relieved to make it into the top eight places after missing part of the second practice session having sustained damage at the chicane.
That set up an all-Dutch semi-final between Frijns and Nyck de Vries, who had seen off Group A topper Jake Dennis in their quarter-final duel as the Andretti driver struggled to get his Michelin tyres into the correct window during his outlap.
De Vries' semi-final time was good enough for third over da Costa, while Vergne set the quickest time among the drivers eliminated in the quarters and will start fifth ahead of Dennis.
Pascal Wehrlein was beaten in his quarter-final by da Costa, and starts seventh ahead of teammate Lotterer in an all-Porsche fourth row.
Among the group stages, championship leader Edoardo Mortara and Jaguar duo Mitch Evans and Sam Bird were dumped out in the Group A qualifying session, with the former pair unable to improve in their final laps as Bird missed the chequered flag by mere seconds.
Wehrlein eclipsed Evans on the top of the timesheets in the final flurry of laps at the end of the session, before being shuffled aside by Frijns, who was devilishly quick in the first pair of sectors to post a 1m40.128s.
Vandoorne then set an identical time to Frijns, but Dennis then fired in a 1m40.069s to head the session to ensure Andretti got one of its cars into the duels as his teammate Oliver Askew was only 10th fastest in the group.
Lucas di Grassi was unable to prevent both Venturi drivers from being eliminated in the groups, having missed out on the top four by three tenths.
Oliver Rowland's Turn 10 spin produced a yellow flag towards the end of the session, limiting the number of drivers who were able to improve.
De Vries was first to the final flurry of laps in Group B, avoiding any late drama by booking his place in the top four despite a heavy lock-up into Turn 7 - which the Dutchman was able to overcome and coax his Mercedes into the corner.
Lotterer then continued his string of duels appearances with third in the group, before the two Techeetahs swept to the top to assert their pace; Vergne was slightly hampered in the final sector after initially going three tenths up in the final lap, but da Costa then overhauled his teammate to lead the second group session.
Nick Cassidy was unable to get into the quarter-finals despite initially showing promise, while Sergio Sette Camara was on for a surprise top-four placing before a glacial final sector meant he was only able to post the 10th-best time.
Evans hence starts from ninth ahead of Oliver Rowland to complete the top 10 on Saturday's grid, with Mortara starting ahead of Venturi teammate di Grassi.
Bird was furious with Sebastien Buemi following his elimination, blaming his inability to beat the chequered flag on the Nissan e.dams driver and slapping the Swiss driver's helmet with his gloves as the cars made it into the pitlane.

Marciello to race Long Beach in WeatherTech Mercedes
WeatherTech Racing has revealed that Raffaele Marciello will be Cooper MacNeil’s co-driver in this weekend’s round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in Long Beach.
As the team switches from its Porsche 911 GT3 R to tackle the GTD Pro class for the remainder of the season with a Mercedes AMG GT3, the team has called up Marciello who won the Blancpain GT Series in 2018 and the FIA GT World Cup in ’19.
It will be the Swiss driver’s first visit to the 11-turn 1.968-mile Long Beach classic, but WeatherTech Racing is hoping to repeat the success it achieved at this venue in the GTD pro-am class in 2017, also in a Mercedes.
“I am looking forward to driving with Raffaele this weekend,” said MacNeil. “He brings a lot of experience behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 car. Although it’s his first visit to Long Beach he’s a pro and will get up to speed quickly.
“Long Beach is a historic race. It’s the longest running street race in America. There is a lot of history from Formula 1 to IndyCar as well as IMSA. We made a little bit of that history in 2017 when we won in the Mercedes, and we are looking to add to that story this weekend.”
Marciello commented: “I know the Long Beach circuit from iRacing and have done quite a bit of laps on the simulator as well. I am looking forward to driving it for real this weekend.
“I have one start in IMSA competition at the Rolex 24 and one other race at Lime Rock. I have seen Cooper drive and others have said good things about his pace.
“The team had a great podium finish at Sebring; I hope we can have another good run at Long Beach this weekend.”
After the two longest races on the IMSA calendar, the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona and the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the DPi, GTD Pro and GTD teams will now compete in 100-minute sprint, the shortest event on their schedule along with June’s round at Belle Isle, Detroit.
There are 27 cars currently on the entrylist for the Saturday race – six DPi entries, six GTD Pro and 15 GTD.

Sebastian Tello-Trillo, University of Virginia
(THE CONVERSATION) The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work.
The big idea
When children get health insurance through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP, their families benefit too.
That’s what I found through recent research conducted with two fellow health economists, Daniel S. Grossman and Barton Willage. And it was particularly true for their mothers, who become 5% more likely to be in a stable marriage and experience a 5.8% reduction in stress levels. Moms are also less likely to smoke cigarettes and drink heavily.
We figured this out by comparing the rates for marriage, mental health conditions and health behaviors of mothers whose children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, a joint effort by states and the federal government to cover kids in families with relatively modest incomes that are too high for Medicaid eligibility, with mothers whose children are less eligible for these programs.
We also compared the employment status of low-income mothers of children who obtained health insurance eligibility with those who did not.
Why it matters
Some 4.3 million children under the age of 19, or 5.6% of all U.S. kids, lacked health insurance coverage in 2020 – the most recent data available. President Joe Biden’s proposed Build Back Better Act, currently stalled in the Senate, would help close this gap.
States set their own eligibility requirements for Medicaid and CHIP, and these thresholds range widely. Eligibility usually depends on a child’s age, the number of people in the household and the family’s income. For example, in Oregon, a 3-year-old in a family of three with an annual income of US$33,000 would not be eligible. That same child living in Wisconsin, however, would be. And Wisconsin’s policies are not even the most generous in the nation.
Previously, researchers have primarily measured the effectiveness of the Medicaid and CHIP programs for children by assessing direct effects related to their own health. Our study shows that gaining access to government-provided health insurance coverage also affects a child’s household in positive ways.
One reason that’s important: Prior research has shown that growing up in a stable home benefits a child’s cognitive development.
What still isn’t known
Our study complements previous research suggesting that obtaining health insurance coverage through Medicaid and CHIP has long-term effects for children, such as through higher educational achievement. But how that happens remains unclear. That is, do these kids perform better in school because their health is typically better than it would have been – or something else?
Another question that remains is whether these patterns crop up when people gain access to other beneficial programs. For example, when children with special needs obtain the services they require, does it also benefit their parents? Or how does student loan forgiveness improve the lives of people in a household besides the person who owed the money?
What’s next
We focused on moms because maternal data was more readily available. In the future, we would like to do further research to see whether the benefits for the fathers of children who gain health insurance coverage through Medicaid and CHIP are similar to the boost that mothers get.

WASHINGTON — The White House Easter Egg Roll is back for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic.
Under rainy skies Monday, President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, were hosting some 30,000 kids and adults for an event the first lady has dubbed the “egg-ucation roll.”
Jill Biden tweeted that Monday would be a “magical, EGGucation-filled day.”
The COVID-19 pandemic led the White House to cancel the egg roll in 2020 and 2021. But the egg roll is back this year, as the outbreak of coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths has eased.
And the first lady, who is a community college professor, has turned the South Lawn into a school community with a variety of educational stations.
Besides the egg roll and an egg hunt, the all-day event includes a schoolhouse activity area, a reading nook, a talent show, a place to teach about farming, a photo-taking station, a physical “egg-ucation” zone with an obstacle course, and a “cafetorium” where children will learn to make treats.
“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon, singer Ciara and actor-singer Kristin Chenoweth will add a dash of celebrity splash to the “egg-stravaganza.”
More than two dozen costumed characters will also be on hand, including Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat, the Racing Presidents mascots for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball, Rosita and Cookie Monster from “Sesame Street” and Snoopy and Charlie Brown, among others.
The event kicked off at around 7 a.m., with the first of five waves of people, including kids wearing their Easter best, streaming through the White House gates.
The White House Easter Egg Roll dates to 1878.
Resumption of this Easter tradition is a sign that the White House is opening up again, despite a recent spurt of COVID-19 cases among members of the Cabinet, the White House staff, Vice President Kamala Harris' husband and members of Congress, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Some of those cases stemmed from the return this month of the Gridiron Club's spring dinner.
Self-guided, public tours of the executive mansion are set to resume on Friday in a limited fashion, after they also were halted in 2020 because of the pandemic.

Best Aldi dupes 2022: top perfume, skincare, beauty, makeup, cleansing balm products from Lacura to le Creuset
There are few things as satisfying as finding a really, really good dupe - something every bit as excellent as the full priced version, just at a fraction of the price. Aldi is renowned for them
The best aldi dupes: from le Creuset, to Lacura, beauty products, perfume, and the Velvetiser
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
If you’ve never been to Aldi, you may not be aware of the famous ‘middle aisle’ - a sort of Narnia where wire baskets contain all manner of covetable, curious items, from pizza ovens, to beauty products, to waterproof trews.
For all its allure, however, the ‘middle aisle’ cornucopia has two issues - it can be dizzyingly difficult to negotiate, and often the best value products are out of stock in store.
That’s where we come in. We’ve got the skinny on the best Aldi dupes - and you can order them all online.
What is a dupe?
A dupe or duplicate, in more common parlance, is referred to as a ‘knock-off’. Though that feels like a pejorative term, given that dupes essentially mimic the standard and behaviour of the branded, full-price product it is emulating, but at a lower price point.
Aldi has become renowned for offering items that look, feel, function or smell very similar to some very popular items that are on sale from well known high street, and sometimes high end, brands - but for much less money.
If you love being in the kitchen then you’ll know that Aldi offers a fantastic line of cast iron cookware, which is very similar to the Le Creuset cookware we all covet but may struggle to afford.
If you’re big on beauty then you need to know about Aldi’s award winning Lacura beauty range which has designed to help you look and feel amazing for less - including a knock-off of the £439 La Prairie Skin Caviar, using the same ingredients as the eye-wateringly expensive cult product.
Alongside this, they also have a range of beauty tools and fragrances that will help you look your best without blowing your budget.
If your favourite product is sold out right now keep checking back to this article as the supermarket does often re-stock, especially when goods prove to be popular.
For even more Aldi bargains, check out our guides to this week’s special buys, as well as our advice for how to get your hands on the Aldi hanging egg chair.
If you’re feeling the chill this winter then Aldi can help with that too. Take a look at our review of their new heated dressing gown - and other heated items.

These dishes will see you through many dinner events.
The set is also available in a gorgeous deep red colour.

Caviar anti-ageing skincare (a dupe of La Prairie Skin Caviar)
Heard of La Prairie Skin Caviar? Winced at it’s price? (That’s £439 for 50ml!)
The Caviar skincare range performs the same function - just as well - for a fraction of the price, containing the same ingredients as it’s eye-watering inspiration - caviar extract, as well as a generous dose of hyaluronic acid.
Use the day and night cream in combination and it will leave your skin plumped, replenished, and soft - all without you having to sell your car to afford stocking your bathroom cabinet.
The Caviar range was launched in 2015 and includes a range of powerful anti-ageing products, including a day cream, a night cream and a jade facial roller, with prices starting at just £6.99.

All you have to do is choose a chocolate of your choice, such as grated chocolate flakes, and pour into the milk while the hot chocolate maker does the rest at the push of a button.

There’s also a range of haircare available as part of Aldi’s award-winning Lacura brand, with everything from shampoo to a hair dryer.

Charlie Rose reemerges with first interview since firings
NEW YORK — (AP) — Charlie Rose, whose career as a journalist imploded in 2017 due to sexual misconduct allegations, emerged Thursday by posting online a lengthy interview he conducted with investor Warren Buffett.
Rose said in a message on his website that he was proud to have the recent conversation with Buffett. The 80-year-old journalist said it was the first interview he had conducted in more than four years.
“It's great to see you,” Rose told Buffett, the 91-year-old chief of Berkshire Hathaway and one of the richest men in the world.
“It's great to see you,” Buffett answered. Their talk lasted 75 minutes and focused solely on Buffett. Rose's experiences were not discussed.
Rose's television talk show, which had aired on PBS since 1991, ended abruptly in November 2017 after The Washington Post published a story in which several women who had worked with him alleged a pattern of sexual misconduct that included groping and walking naked in front of them.
He called one 21-year-old staffer to tell her his fantasies of seeing her swim in the nude, the Post said in its investigation, published at the height of the #MeToo movement.
Rose apologized for his actions but it didn't save his job. He was also fired from “CBS This Morning," which he had co-hosted with Gayle King since 2012.
On his website, Rose called the Buffett interview “a step in a journey to engage the most interesting people and explore the most compelling ideas in the world.”
In the interview, the two men talked about Buffett's career, which began when he bought stocks for $114.75 in 1942, when he was 11 years old. He described his typical day, which would include calling a co-worker a half hour before the stock market opened to direct him on what business to conduct — sometimes involving billions of dollars in buying and selling.
Buffett talked about his company's annual meeting, on April 30, where he planned to talk to and answer questions from thousands of his investors.
To that end, he brushed aside some of Rose's specific questions, including when the interview broached the topic of the war in Ukraine.
“It doesn't do me any good — and doesn't do the world any good — to have me talk about it,” Buffett said.
Asked how time has changed him, Buffett said, “I've gotten dumber but I've gotten wiser.” He can't add numbers as quickly, sometimes forgets names and occasionally climbs to the top of the stairs and forgot what he came up for. But allocating capital, he said, “I can do ... as well as ever.”
Not everyone on social media welcomed Rose's return, with some people posting old articles on Twitter about what he was accused of. Rebecca Carroll, author of “Surviving the White Gaze,” posted her December 2017 Esquire article in which she wrote of the “toxic and degrading” atmosphere she found when she was a producer on Rose's PBS show, and the ramifications of the #MeToo movement for Black women.
“Powerful white men will always reemerge,” Carroll wrote on Twitter. “They will always be fine.”

It’s horrific seeing people living in basements and metro stations
A MAN from Watlington has spent a month in ... [more]
CHRIS Green put in a man-of-the-match performance as he grabbed a hat-trick to help visitors Henley win their final match of the season in a rearranged fixture on Wednesday of last week.
Going into the game Milton Keynes needed a win to avoid relegation and Henley required a win or a high-scoring draw to overtake Reading 2nds to claim fourth spot in South Central League Premier Division 1.
Henley interim player-coach Matt Riches made sure Henley kept their shape and played the patterns that had served the team so well during the season.
The structure of the team was important with Milton Keynes utilising a 4-2-4 formation.
Henley took the lead after 15 minutes when Sam Worlidge slotted the ball into the backboard.
Henley were unstoppable as the second half progressed as they applied the pressure from the front and repeatedly won the ball high up the pitch allowing Riches, Taylor and Foster to release the forwards into the D.
Henley’s all-time top goal scorer Green slotted his first away at the far post before deflecting another on the penalty spot. Worlidge grabbed himself a brace to make it 4-0 after another release from Foster found him with time and space to finish.
Foggoa had little to do in goal for Henley with the exception of a fine save off a bullet strike from a Milton Keynes forward but a defensive error from Sam Heaver led to the home side’s goal.
As the game was coming to a close, Henley continued to push on; captain Jonny Taylor took a quick side-line hit and ran up the left wing before finding Green who smashed the ball into the corner of the goal to complete his hat-trick.
With less than a minute left of the season, captain Taylor gave youngster Phillips the nod to head into the D on the final attack and Phillips sprinted to the far post. The ball was fired in by Mortimer, caught a deflection off a Milton Keynes stick, Foster volleyed on to Shaw who volleyed towards goal where Phillips was ready to volley home on his league debut.

GE refrigerators sold at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy recalled over fall hazard
More than 150,000 General Electric refrigerators are being recalled because of a fall hazard, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall includes six models of the GE-brand French Door Refrigerators with bottom freezers in fingerprint resistant stainless steel, which were sold at home improvement and home appliance stores nationwide for over two years.
The recall was initiated because the freezer handle can detach when a consumer tries to open the drawer, which poses a fall hazard, according to the CPSC.
To date, there have already been 71 reports from consumers that the freezer handle detached, "resulting in 37 reported injuries, including three serious fall injuries," the CPSC said.
The recalled appliance was sold at major home improvement and home appliance stores including The Home Depot, Lowe’s and Best Buy from February 2020 through January 2022. They were also available online at Lowes.com and BestBuy.com.
Consumers who purchased recalled refrigerators will be able to schedule a free in-home service call to have the freezer’s handle mounting fasteners replaced and the handle re-installed.
To determine if the refrigerator is recalled, its brand name, model, and serial number are on the top of the left side of the inside of the refrigerator.
All known purchasers will be contacted directly by the company, according to the recall.

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is taking a key step toward ensuring that federal dollars will support U.S. manufacturing — issuing requirements for how projects funded by the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package source their construction material.
The guidance being issued Monday requires that the material purchased — whether it's for a bridge, a highway, a water pipe or broadband internet — be produced in the U.S., according to administration officials. However, the rules also set up a process to waive those requirements in case there are not enough domestic producers or the material costs too much, with the goal of issuing fewer waivers over time as U.S. manufacturing capacity increases.
“There are going to be additional opportunities for good jobs in the manufacturing sector," said Celeste Drake, director of Made in America at the White House Office of Management and Budget.
President Joe Biden hopes to create more jobs, ease supply chain strains and reduce the reliance on China and other nations with interests that diverge from America's. With inflation at a 40-year high ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, he's betting that more domestic production will ultimately reduce price pressures to blunt Republican attacks that his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package initially triggered higher prices.
“From Day One, every action I’ve taken to rebuild our economy has been guided by one principle: Made in America,” Biden said Thursday in Greensboro, North Carolina. “It takes a federal government that doesn’t just give lip service to buying American but actually takes action.”
Biden said that the roughly $700 billion the government devotes annually to procuring goods is supposed to prioritize U.S. suppliers but regulations going back to the 1930s have either been watered down or applied in ways that masked the use of foreign imports.
The administration could not say what percentage of construction material for existing infrastructure projects is U.S.-made, even though the federal government is already spending $350 billion on construction this year. The new guidelines would enable government officials to know how many dollars go to U.S. workers and factories.
Tucked into the bipartisan infrastructure package that became law last November was a requirement that starting on May 14 “none of the funds" allocated to federal agencies for projects may be spent "unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the project are produced in the United States.” That's according to Monday's 17-page guidance.
The guidance includes three standards for these requirements to be waived: if the purchase “would be inconsistent with the public interest”; if the needed materials aren't produced “in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality"; or if U.S. materials increase a project's cost by more than 25%.
American manufacturers are about 170,000 jobs short of the 12.8 million factory jobs held in 2019, as manufacturing jobs began to decline before the pandemic began. But the U.S. has 6.9 million fewer manufacturing jobs compared with the 1979 peak, a loss caused by outsourcing and automation.
Getting more industrial jobs will likely mean adding more factories and assembly lines — as manufacturers are operating at a 78.7% capacity, which the Federal Reserve notes is above the historical average. | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/nation-world/biden-us-steel-iron/507-77556d4e-37a0-45cc-899e-a85e8900077d | 2022-04-18T14:37:06Z | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/nation-world/biden-us-steel-iron/507-77556d4e-37a0-45cc-899e-a85e8900077d | true | 32 |

The gun violence started at about 1 am on Sunday when three to five shots were fired near Brooks and McKinley.
Stray bullets struck two apartments, hitting a woman in her arm. She was taken to the hospital but is expected to be OK.
Another apparent random act of violence happened hours later.
"Victim says it's random. He was out with his son for a drive when he noticed a vehicle following him," said Fresno Police Sgt. Ray Villalvazo.
Two to three suspects in an SUV fired multiple rounds at a man driving through southeast Fresno near his home on Grove Avenue.
His six-year-old son was in the car with him.
Police say as many as 28 high-caliber rounds were fired before the suspects got away.
"At any time you feel like someone is following you or there's something suspicious going on, always try to avoid going home, stay on a public road," said Sgt. Villalvazo.
Then at about 3 pm, a man walking near Yale and Orchard was shot twice in the chest and arm by someone in a passing SUV.
The victim ran to Radio Park and called the police.
Officers say they found a live round of 45 caliber ammunition and a 45 caliber magazine with live rounds near the scene.
The man was taken to Community Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Despite these shootings happening on a holiday, all of the victims are expected to survive.
Police are still searching for suspects in each of the shootings.
Anyone with information about these cases is asked to call the Fresno Police Department of Crimestoppers. | https://abc30.com/fresno-shootings-crime-shots-fired/11764055/ | 2022-04-18T14:40:34Z | https://abc30.com/fresno-shootings-crime-shots-fired/11764055/ | true | 1 |

Punjab Police on Monday claimed to have busting a Pak-based terror module with the arrest of its three operatives.
The Director-General of Police (DGP) VK Bhawra said the module, run by gangster Harvinder Singh alias Rinda, was involved in the hand grenade attack at the Nawanshahr office of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA).
On 7 November 2021, some unknown persons had hurled a hand grenade at CIA Office Nawanshahr (SBS Nagar) at about 11.55 p.m. with the intention to kill the police officials. However, police officials present in the CIA office had escaped unhurt.
Those arrested have been identified as Manish Kumar alias Mani alias Baba, a resident of village Bains in Nawanshahr, Ramandeep Singh alias Jakhu of village Atta in Goraya in District Jalandhar and Pardeep Singh alias Bhatti of village Sahlon in SBS Nagar. The police have also recovered one live hand grenade from the possession of accused persons.
The DGP, Bhawra, said after extensive and sustained investigation, the counter-intelligence wing and the SBS Nagar police have managed to arrest three accused persons involved in this attack.
During interrogation, Ramandeep confessed that he along with Manish had thrown the hand grenade at the Nawanshahr CIA Office on the directions of Harvinder Singh alias Rinda, said the DGP, while adding that Ramandeep had picked-up two hand grenades from the location at Ludhiana-Ferozepur Road as guided by Rinda.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) SBS Nagar, Sandeep Kumar said that, while one hand-grenade was used for the attack in Nawanshahr, another live P-80 Hand Grenade, similar to the one used to carry out the attack, was recovered on the disclosure of Ramandeep. Harvinder alias Rinda struck a deal with Ramandeep for Rs Four lakh to carry out this attack, he added.
Rinda, a notorious gangster active in Punjab, Chandigarh, Maharashtra and Haryana is a history-sheeter and wanted by the Punjab Police in heinous crimes including murder, contract killing, robbery, extortion and snatching. | https://www.thestatesman.com/cities/chandigarh/punjab-police-busts-pak-based-terror-module-3-held-1503061874.html | 2022-04-18T14:49:10Z | https://www.thestatesman.com/cities/chandigarh/punjab-police-busts-pak-based-terror-module-3-held-1503061874.html | true | 3 |
MILWAUKEE (AP)Tyrone Taylor hit a two-run double in the seventh inning to give Milwaukee a cushion, and the Brewers outlasted Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Sunday.
Pujols hit his 681st career homer, a three-run shot in the third inning off Aaron Ashby that tied the game at 3, but the Brewers regained the lead in the fourth on Willy Adames’ bases-loaded walk and held on from there.
Taylor’s seventh-inning double made it 6-3. St. Louis got within one in the eighth against Devin Williams, but Josh Hader struck out two during a perfect ninth for his fourth save of the season and 100th of his career.
Jake Cousins (2-0) worked a scoreless fifth for Milwaukee. St. Louis starter Dakota Hudson (0-1) allowed four runs, three earned, in three innings.
”I don’t think that’s what he wanted for himself,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. ”At the end of the day, you have to throw more strikes in order to compete.”
Making his first start of the season after two relief appearances, Ashby issued four walks and a pair of hits over four innings. The three runs he allowed – all on Pujols’ blast – were unearned thanks to an error on Milwaukee second baseman Kolten Wong to open the inning.
The Brewers jumped ahead 3-0 in the first. Andrew McCutchen had a sacrifice fly, and Rowdy Tellez hit a run-scoring double to the wall in left-center. Milwaukee got another run on a throwing error by catcher Andrew Knizner.
Hudson retired six of his next seven batters before Keston Hirua brought his day to an end with a single to lead off the fourth. Reliever T.J. McFarland gave up a single and a walk to load the bases. After striking out Wong, McFarland lost a seven-pitch battle to Adames that gave Milwaukee the lead.
”We had to be patient,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. ”We did a nice job of that. And then we got some big hits. Keston, Tyrone obviously a really big one. Today was a day when just patience and grinding out at-bats paid some dividends eventually.”
CLIMBING THE LIST
Pujols moved one step closer to Alex Rodriguez, who is fourth in major league history with 696 homers.
Ashby got the better of the veteran slugger in the first inning with a sinker for a called third strike. In Pujols’ next at-bat, Ashby left a 1-0 slider hanging out over the plate.
”It was a great pitch to hit and that was my best swing of the night,” Pujols said. ”I wasn’t looking for anything, I was just trying to execute my game plan.”
Pujols used to work out at a fitness center Ashby’s family owned in Kansas City when Pujols was in town to host hitting camps that Ashby himself attended for three years while growing up.
”I wish he would have taught me to hit a little better, but that’s the way it goes,” Ashby said.
HISTORY FOR HADER
Hader became the third pitcher in Brewers history to record 100 saves, joining Dan Plesac (133) and John Axford (106). He is the 160th player to reach the century mark since the save became an official statistic in 1969.
”It was a fun journey just to make it here and to get 100 (saves), it’s pretty special,” Hader said.
Hader needed just 286 1/3 innings and 236 appearances to achieve the feat.
”He’s four-and-a-half full seasons (into his career),” Counsell said. ”No reliever has had a better start to his career than Josh Hader in the history of the game. I’m not exaggerating. That’s a fact. I don’t think it’s really disputable.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: C Yadier Molina (right knee soreness) was out of the starting lineup for a third straight game but came on as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning.
Brewers: INF Luis Urias (left quad) remains in Arizona where he’s been doing simulated baseball activities. The Brewers hope to send Urias out for a minor league rehab assignment before the end of the month.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: St. Louis gets a day off in Miami Monday before Adam Wainwright (1-1, 3.48 ERA) takes the mound Tuesday to open a three-game series against the Marlins.
Brewers: LHP Eric Lauer (0-0, 6.23) looks for his first victory of the season Monday when Milwaukee opens a three-game series against Pittsburgh.

The background behind Red Bull's Bahrain DNFs
The dramatic late retirements of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez from Formula 1's Bahrain GP triggered some intrigue about what caused their fuel pump issues.
But with it emerging from investigations that the problems were not linked to standard supplied parts, there remains some questions about what really happened inside the RB18s.
It quickly became apparent that the power units of both men were starved of fuel, despite there being plenty of ExxonMobil's finest E10 in their respective tanks.
In other words, something in the fuel system of the RB18 had failed and was not picking up the last few litres that were supposed to get the cars to the flag.
The intriguing part of the story was that F1 fuel systems are now comprised of elements provided by the team, by the power unit manufacturer, and also by third parties who won FIA tenders to supply standard components to the whole grid – notably two types of fuel pump.
Thus the big question in the aftermath of the race was: Did one of the generic items fail in both cars, and thus the hugely frustrating double retirement was triggered by something that was not manufactured by Red Bull Technology or Honda?
And if that was the case, was there perhaps something in the packaging around it that the team or its engine partner were responsible for that somehow led to it failing on the two RB18s, and not on any other car?
Potentially, such a situation would be very similar to a Pirelli failure, which on the surface could be blamed on the tyre company, and yet on further investigation turns out to have been triggered by the way the team concerned operates the tyres.
Indeed, Red Bull motorsport boss Helmut Marko implied that the fault lay with a key component from an outside supplier.
"What we suspect is that there are problems with the fuel pump for both cars," he told Motorsport.com.
"But the fuel pump doesn't come from us, we just have to take it. And we never had this problem before, that's the strange thing."
However, team principal Christian Horner was not able to pinpoint any specific failure.
"What looked like a decent haul of points suddenly evaporated obviously in the last couple of laps there," he said.
"But it looks like a similar issue on both cars. We don't know exactly what it is yet, whether it's a lift pump, whether it's the collector or something along those lines, but we've got to get into it and understand exactly what's caused it."
Motorsport.com understands that none of the standard supplied pumps across the two cars were the cause of the retirements, and thus the issue must lie elsewhere.
So how and why do F1 cars feature such standard components in their hugely complicated fuel systems?
In simple terms, the fuel travels via a lift pump (or lift pumps) to a collector, then to a primer pump (aka mid-pump) that steps the pressure up, and then from the tank to a high pressure pump that feeds the V6.
As the new regulations were being formulated – originally for 2021 – it was agreed that the primer and high pressure pumps and some associated bits were areas where it made sense to utilise standard parts, largely for cost reasons by avoiding development expense.
In addition standard parts would allow the FIA greater control of what teams were doing, and given how sensitive fuel flow and usage is in regulatory terms, that was a key consideration.
Back in 2019 the FIA put out invitations to tender for two main fuel system elements, and the contracts were won by companies with long histories in the F1 pitlane.
In December that year the World Motor Sport Council noted: "Following the pre-selection of Magneti Marelli for the fuel primer pump, and of Bosch for the high pressure fuel pump and piping by the council on 30 July 2019, a phase of consultation with the teams, power unit manufacturers and the two prospective suppliers was conducted under the arbitration of the FIA technical department. Today, the council proceeded to final appointment of the two suppliers."
The wording here is important – it would be wrong to characterise those standard pumps as "FIA supplied" items. The governing body acted as the middle man, and the teams and PU manufacturers had their say in the finalisation of the choice.
The pumps are classified by the FIA in the 2022 regulations as SSCs, or standard supply components: "The primer pump(s), high pressure pump, fuel flow meters and pressure and temperature sensors are SSC, as mandated by the FIA and specified in the appendix to the technical and sporting regulations.
"All flexible pipes and hoses and their fittings between the primer pump(s) and the high-pressure pump are SSC, mandated by the FIA."
Fuel systems also contain some elements that are OSCs, or open source components, where teams make their own but have to show the designs to rivals and potentially allow them to be copied – the lift pump is one example, and it may yet emerge that it was the cause of the problems on Sunday.
"The standard parts are in that low pressure system," says AlphaTauri technical director Jody Egginton.

"And then there's team specific parts in that system. Some of those parts are OSC, so you supply details of those to the FIA, so other people can see them. But it's all pretty straightforward what you can and can't do, and it's well defined.
"It's a lot more controlled and regulated than it has been in the past, which is good. The range of things you can do now is limited, compared to a number of years ago.
"Some of the plumbing is specified as a standard supply part, or we supply details of lengths of piping and plumbing. The collector is car specific, as is the fuel cell. Mechanical parts are standardised, but with the bits around them you've got some level of freedom."
After testing of the new cars kicked off in Barcelona, some teams experienced issues related to the primer pump.
Few details emerged in public, although Haas boss Gunther Steiner noted that on the first day of testing "in the morning we had a fuel pump issue, internal leakage in the fuel tank, so the pressure wasn't right".
Ferrari is also believed to have had an issue at the Bahrain test. The problem was investigated understood, and in conjunction with the FIA, countermeasures were put in place across the teams.
A formal public indication that there were concerns came after qualifying in Bahrain in an unusual document from race control.
It told the teams with cars in Q3: "For this event only and in contradiction to the requirements of Article 40.6 of the FIA F1 sporting regulations, you will be allowed to delay the covering of your cars one hour later than required in order to inspect the SSC fuel primer pump."
In other words that extra hour before the cars went to bed overnight was provided expressly so that as a precautionary measure teams could look at the primer pump (cars not in Q3 could be inspected during the final session).
However, no overnight pump changes were noted by the FIA when the list of parts changed in parc ferme emerged just before the race.
"It was an extra inspection on the primer pump across the grid," said Egginton. "It's not specific to any team. And we had the opportunity to do that over the weekend, and I think will do for a couple of races, until people are happy with reliability.
"The FIA wanted to make sure that it wasn't something which is a common fault. We're pretty happy, we signed off a couple of pumps off in testing, we ran them here, we'll take the opportunity to sign other pumps off.

"But with the format of the weekend you've got less time to work on the car. So it's a sensible step to make sure that you're okay, not delving into things that you don't need to on a weekend. It's quite challenging for the guys now, to get the cars turned around. You've got less time available to you."
Intriguingly, just after the race Horner implied that the primer pump was not the issue that stopped the RB18s while confirming that the team did a pre-race inspection.
"Yes, we did," he said when asked if the team took the opportunity offered. "But I think that was a general concern rather than specific to Red Bull. We just need to get the cars back, get the fuel system apart and understand, because we know the fuel was was in there.
"I think there have been some other issues that we've been made aware of. It was just an inspection that we wanted to double check.
"So of course it's all subjective at the moment until we get the cars apart and understand exactly what's caused the issue, and I suspect it's similar on both cars, because it's too close and too similar a failure."
There's a good chance that whatever happened was temperature related. Sunday was the first time that the 2022 cars tackled a race distance with the new E10 fuel in real world conditions, with the drivers often behind other cars. Things like high brake and engine temperatures were an issue up and down the pitlane.
It was perhaps no co-incidence that the Red Bull failures happened just after the field had been under safety car conditions. In the past, we've seen cars to grind to a halt when something gets too hot when running slowly, especially early in the season.
Keeping fuel cool is always challenge for teams, for as the regulations note, "the use of any device on board the car to decrease the temperature of the fuel is forbidden".
That rule apparently hails from the atmospheric engine era, when cooler fuel created a performance advantage that doesn't apply as much to the current V6 turbos.
Fans now have to wait for an official analysis to emerge from Red Bull – and the team may be in a race to make any necessary fixes before next weekend's Saudi Arabian GP.

Ferrucci to sub for Harvey in RLL-Honda at Texas
Jack Harvey will be replaced by Santino Ferrucci in the #45 Rahal Letterman Lanigan-Honda for today’s second round of the 2022 NTT IndyCar Series.
Harvey suffered a heavy shunt in second practice yesterday, and although he stepped from his wreck unaided and spoke to media outside the medical center after being released, he was re-evaluated this morning and IndyCar medical team did not clear him.
An official IndyCar statement reads: “Per IndyCar protocol, all drivers wear accelerometers that measure g-forces exhibited during an incident. These get evaluated, fully, after each incident, and if the result of the g-forces surpasses the minimum threshold, drivers must be re-evaluated prior to returning to competition.
“Following the protocol, the driver of the #45, Jack Harvey, was re-evaluated this morning and was not cleared for racing. Harvey is working closely with the IndyCar medical team regarding next steps.”
Rahal Letterman Lanigan stated: “Jack Harvey has not been cleared to drive by the IndyCar medical team following his crash in yesterday’s final practice for the XPEL 375 at Texas Motor Speedway. He was checked and released by IndyCar but after reevaluation on Sunday, the team was advised that he would not be cleared to participate in today’s race.
“Santino Ferrucci, who competed in five races for the team in 2021, will compete in the No. 45 Hy-Vee entry today.”
In a poor weekend for RLL, with the three cars of Harvey, Christian Lundgaard and Graham Rahal qualifying between 24th and 27th, Harvey was on his 26th lap of the 1.5-mile oval in final practice yesterday afternoon when the incident happened. His car understeered in the middle of Turn 2, Harvey downchanged, the #45 Hy-Vee car started oversteering, and its right-rear wheel appeared barely to kiss the wall.
However, it was enough to unsettle the car and wrench it out of Harvey’s control. It looped around and across the track to make heavy contact with the inside wall and then slide along the back straight to Turn 3.
The tub was cracked, so the RLL team had to build up the spare, Harvey’s car for the Indy 500.

Bees To Brno: New Environmental Project Launched Last Wednesday
18
Beautiful spring days are coming to Brno and so are the bees! The “Bees to Brno” project aims to raise awareness of beekeeping and the benefits of bees, as well as seeing beehives placed around the city. The project, funded by the participatory budgeting initiative, Dáme na vás (“We Give to You”), was launched on Wednesday 13 April. Photo credit : Sefora S. / Brno Daily
Brno, April 15th (BD) – The “Bees to Brno” project was submitted by Petra Ventrubová for the 2020 round of the participatory budgeting initiative, with the aim of establishing urban beehives in Brno, raising awareness of the importance of bees for humans and promoting the diversity of Brno’s flora. The project came in 4th place in the citywide vote, with 3,240 votes.
The project includes all parts of the city, from the famous landmarks of Spilberk Castle and Luzanky Park, to sites out of the city centre such as Brno-Medlanky. The project also includes educational areas, water features, and the planting of pollinator plants in Spilberk and Luzanky.
“With this project, I would like to raise awareness of the issue of keeping bees and their importance for humans and the environment,” said Petra Ventrubová, who proposed the project. “The hives can serve as a trial hive for someone who wants to start beekeeping, and as a means to spread awareness in society about the value that bees bring.”
“I am glad that the Dáme na vás participatory budgeting project is being used to implement such educational and environmentally beneficial projects,” said Tomáš Koláčný (Piráti), 2nd Deputy Mayor of Brno. “The project will include several studies, the purchase and deployment of more than ten beehives and almost 40 homes for solitary bees and bumblebees, the purchase of beekeepers’ tools, professional seminars, events for children and the purchase of educational panels and publications.”

Keurig coffee maker review
Coffee is many people’s go-to hot drink, but if you’re making it at home, the grounds can be messy and brewing can be time-consuming. The Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker quickly and easily makes single cups of coffee using K-Cup coffee pods, so there’s no need to grind beans, measure ground coffee or clean it up once you’re done.
Keurig claims its K-Classic machine “brews a perfect cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverage in under 1 minute at the touch of a button,” which sounds ideal for the everyday user. We wanted to discover if this claim is accurate, so we tested the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker to find out. After some in-home testing, this is what we found out.
Testing the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker
Testing products in a lab or other controlled environment can give you some idea of how they perform, but it isn’t until you try them in the real world over an extended period that you really get to grips with them and discover their quirks. We have a group of testers who try products out in their home for at least 2 weeks, with the aim of investigating all the claims their manufacturers make.
For this review, we gave it to a tester who regularly drinks coffee but also brews tea and hot cocoa on occasion. They usually use a Keurig 2.0 Coffee Maker, so they were able to compare how the K-Classic stands up against their usual model.
What is the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker?
The Keurig K-Classic is a single-serve coffee maker that uses pods to brew coffee. It’s compatible with K-Cup pods, which are made by a variety of coffee brands and are widely available in North America. It also works with the My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter, which is great if you want to use your own coffee blends.
Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker price and where to buy
The Keurig K-Classic costs roughly $120-$150, depending on whether you find it discounted or at its full recommended retail price. You can buy it from Keurig, Amazon and Wayfair.
How to use the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker
The K-Classic is extremely easy to set up and use. It comes basically ready to go. All we needed to do was slot the drip tray into place, remove a few pieces of tape from the machine, fill the reservoir with water, plug in the power cord and start brewing.
To start brewing, you simply press the power button and wait for the water to heat, then add your pod and press one of the three brew size buttons. The buttons feature pictures of small, medium and large cups, so it’s easy to tell which one is which. They produce cups of 6, 8 and 10 ounces, respectively.
Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker benefits
Quick brewing time
Keurig claims the K-Classic has a brew time of under 1 minute. We found it took around 60 seconds to brew a cup of coffee, with the larger sizes taking just slightly longer than the smaller ones. This saves a lot of time compared to brewing a whole pot of drip coffee.
Easy to use
We loved how simple this coffee maker is to use. There are only three buttons for brewing, so it’s as easy as selecting the brew size you want and waiting for the magic to happen. When using standard K-Cups, there’s no need to grind beans, measure out coffee or empty and clean a filter.
Easy to clean
While we didn’t need to use the cleaning cycle during our testing period, the process is straightforward: add a bottle of Keurig Descaling Solution to the empty water reservoir, add a designated amount of water, run the solution through the machine until the reservoir is empty, leave it to sit for 30 minutes, then run one cup of clean water through the machine before it’s ready to use again.
Built-in reservoir
The built-in 48-ounce water reservoir holds enough water to make four to eight cups of coffee, depending on the brew size. Some pod coffee makers only hold enough water to make a single drink, so the fact that this one can make up to eight drinks on a single fill is good if you don’t routinely make coffee for a large crowd.
Feels sturdy
We found this coffee machine the perfect balance of heavy enough to feel sturdy and well-made but not so heavy that it’s tricky to lift or move around the kitchen.
Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker drawbacks
Short power cord
At 28 inches, we found the power cord frustratingly short. We had to plug it into an extension cord to position it exactly where we wanted. However, it’s worth noting that Keurig makes its cords deliberately short so there isn’t too much excess when you position it close to an outlet. Depending on how many outlets you have in your kitchen and where they’re positioned, you might not find the length of the cord an issue.
Water takes a while to heat
While it only takes roughly 60 seconds to brew a cup of coffee, the water in the reservoir needs to heat up before you can do so. It takes a full reservoir of water 4-5 minutes to heat, which can be annoying when you’re in a hurry. However, it only takes 15-30 seconds for the water to reheat between cups.
Reservoir could be larger
It’s great to have a reservoir big enough to brew multiple drinks, but some coffee makers have larger reservoirs, which is useful for large households, offices and anyone who regularly hosts big groups of people.
Only three brew sizes
Although we found the three brew sizes adequate for our needs, some users find it limiting and would prefer a couple more sizes.
Should you get the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker?
The Keurig K-Classic is a quality single-serving coffee maker that’s great for people who want the speed and convenience of pods. It lives up to the claim that it makes coffee, tea and hot cocoa in under a minute, though whether it makes the “perfect” cup is debatable.
If you’re looking to make full carafes of coffee or have a steamer wand to make specialty drinks, this isn’t the machine for you. However, if you want an easy-to-use pod coffee machine, it’s a solid choice.
Consider other products
If you’re looking for another option from Keurig, this might fit the bill. It gives you the option to brew an extra-strong cup or over ice, in 6-, 8-, 10- and 12-ounce sizes.

Ed Sheeran honours late friend Jamal Edwards by recording song and music video in tribute to him following his death aged 31
Ed Sheeran is honouring his late friend Jamal Edwards by recording a song in tribute to him following his death in February aged 31.
In photos obtained by The Sun, the singer, 31, spent Thursday alongside Jamal's friends and family - including his mother Brenda Edwards and sister Tanisha, recording the music video for the track.
The hitmaker reportedly recorded the song at a venue in Soho and was also joined by actors Tom Felton and Raff Law along with US musician Russ and rapper Big Narstie.
A source said: 'Ed looked in good spirits when he arrived but it was a sombre occasion and things got very emotional on set. Ed wanted to do something to celebrate Jamal's incredible legacy because he was a huge part of his life.
'Brenda wore all black and had sunglasses on as she arrived. It was really brave of her to get involved after such a loss, but she knows how close Ed and Jamal were and so it felt poignant to be part of it.'
Ed posted a tribute to Jamal on his Instagram page after his tragic death from a heart attack was announced.
The singer wrote: 'Jamal is my brother. His light shone so bright. He only used it to illuminate others and never asked for anything in return.
'A star’s light shines for millions of years after they go, and his will continue to light up every dark moment. I would not be here without him, professionally and personally. There will never be anything close to what he is.'
Jamal - who was credited with launching the careers of numerous pop stars - is famous for setting up the online media platform SBTV, which showcased emerging artists, and currently has 1.23 million subscribers to its YouTube channel.
Jamal's sudden death was announced online on February 20 and later confirmed by his management.
A statement by his mother Brenda was read out on Loose Women, where she is a presenter, the following day stating that he had died on Sunday morning following a 'sudden illness' and that his family and friends are 'completely devastated'.
She added: 'Jamal was an inspiration to myself and so many. Our love for him lives on, his legacy lives on.'
At a vigil the next day, Brenda sang the Whitney Houston hit Greatest Love of All to hushed crowds who gathered to remember the music impresario's life.
Singing through a megaphone, she sang the words 'I believe the children are the future. Learning to love yourself - it is the greatest love of all', reducing the crowd to tears.
In another poignant moment, after finishing her song, Brenda addressed the mourners and said she hoped that her son's death would help unite their community.
She said: 'If we can do anything in 2022, can we please bring the community together. Stop the fighting. Stop the killing. And build up our community.
'We are not supposed to be losing our young people. If you see something happening.
'Try to stop it please'. Police confirmed there was no suggestion that violence played a part in Jamal's death, describing it as a non-suspicious 'medical emergency'.
How Jamal Edwards launched the careers of some of Britain's biggest stars from a YouTube channel set up in his bedroom when he was 15 and working in Topman
Jamal was 15 when his mother Brenda bought him extra special Christmas present – a £200 video camera.
YouTube had just been launched and Jamal, who like most teenagers spent hours in his bedroom online, decided to upload some footage of foxes in his back garden. 'I thought I was Steve Irwin,' he said in an interview with MailOnline.
But when the footage got 1,000 views, he realised he was on to something.
He went out on to the estate and made some clips of his friends, most of whom were into grime – the music style now defined by stars such as Dizzee Rascal and Skepta.
'Back then, there was no place to showcase our sort of spitting and rapping, so I thought, OK, I want to create that platform,' he said. He took his own rap moniker 'Smokey Barz' to coin his brand name and SBTV was born.
Jamal was not an overnight success, and Brenda had no idea that her son would be hailed as a 21st-century pioneer.
From her vantage point, she had a boy who had struggled at school, was being threatened with expulsion from his college and needed a reality check about the world of work.
When he was 17, Brenda marched him into a branch of Topman and demanded that they give him a job.
'It was so embarrassing. They were saying, 'We don't have any jobs going,' but she wouldn't take no for an answer,' he says. 'She said, 'I don't care, he'll work for free, you have to take him on.' And they agreed, probably because they wanted to get rid of her.'
Jamal began his Topman career as a shop assistant but at the same time started hanging out at the BBC, sneaking into raves and messaging record labels to beg for interview time with their artists. His big break came three years later when he secured his first non-grime interview with Kelly Rowland.
From that, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz and countless other A-listers followed. In 2011, he was invited to 10 Downing Street to interview the prime minister after being appointed a Spirit of London Awards ambassador.
Jamal was still hands-on with both filming and editing at SBTV, and had big plans to expand the brand into sport, comedy and fashion.
Away from work his great passion was Chelsea FC. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573113589288/ed-sheeran-honours-late-friend-jamal-edwards-by-recording-song-and-music-video-in-tribute-to-him-following-his-death-aged-31 | 2022-04-18T15:02:24Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573113589288/ed-sheeran-honours-late-friend-jamal-edwards-by-recording-song-and-music-video-in-tribute-to-him-following-his-death-aged-31 | true | 1 |

After a relatively incident-free weekend, Eskom has announced that it would be implementing Stage 2 load shedding from 4pm on Sunday afternoon.
“Load shedding will, regretfully, continue until 5am on Wednesday, 20 April, depending on the level of breakdowns. Loadshedding is implemented only as a last resort to protect the national grid,” explained the power utility in a statement after apologizing to the public.
“The loss of four additional generation units at Matla, Tutuka, Duvha and Arnot power stations over the past 24 hours, exacerbated by the delay in units returning to service at Camden, Matla, Grootvlei and Tutuka power stations, has unfortunately necessitated the implementation of load shedding,” explained Eskom.
The power utility further stated that the system continues to be fragile and they have, therefore, been forced to implement load shedding to manage and replenish emergency generation reserves.
According to Eskom, it has been relying on these emergency generation reserves to supply electricity over the past few days.
ALSO READ: Eskom predicts 100 days of possible power cuts during winter
“Since Friday afternoon, a generation unit each at Camden, Komati and Arnot power stations returned to service. We currently have 5 474MW on planned maintenance, while another 17 018MW of capacity is unavailable due to unplanned breakdowns.”
Eskom further cautioned that it may escalate the levels of load shedding as “the power system remains unpredictable” and “any further deterioration in generation capacity may require higher stages of load shedding.”
The public has been urged to continue using electricity sparingly despite the chilly weather.
Lights on for Easter
Eskom last suspended load shedding on the morning of Good Friday but warned on Thursday morning that a unit each at the Kusile and Kendal power stations had tripped in the 24 hours prior to their statement being issued.
At the time, Eskom said the planned suspension of load shedding was due, in part, to the lower demand expected over the weekend, but warned of the possibility that load shedding will need to be implemented during next week as the demand returns.
“The Kusile unit has returned to service this morning, together with one of the previously delayed Camden power station units. Eskom will undertake opportunity maintenance during the low demand weekend to address some risk on running units,” the power utility said in a statement.
Water will also be pumped into the river system from the Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme during the weekend in order to relieve the capacity constraints that have been created by the heavy rains.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Kyle Busch backed into the record book by stealing a win at dirt-covered Bristol Motor Speedway.
That's what he'd say if it had been anyone else, right?
Busch won his first race of the season Sunday night by sliding past the leaders as Tyler Reddick and Chase Briscoe spun racing for the win. Busch tied Hall of Famer Richard Petty's NASCAR record for victories in consecutive years at 18.
But his tune was far different at Bristol than it was six weeks ago when Alex Bowman won at Las Vegas and an irate Busch complained that Bowman is "the same (expletive) guy who backs into every (expletive) win that he ever (expletive) gets."
When it was Busch's turn to inherit a win, he had no problem collecting the checkered flag.
"We got one, you know?" Busch said. "It doesn't matter how you get them, it's all about getting them."
Later, he acknowledged that he did "back into one" but said it felt good.
Reddick was chasing the first Cup win of his career, led 99 of the 250 laps, and controlled the race from the final restart with 24 laps remaining. Lapped traffic gave Briscoe a shot and Briscoe made his move in the third turn as he tried to slide inside past Reddick.
The move backfired and both cars spun out of control and Busch, who was running third, simply skirted through for his first win.
Busch won for the ninth time in Cup at Bristol — first time in two dirt races — and was booed by the smattering of fans who waited out two rain delays that pushed the first race on Easter Sunday since 1989 to nearly four hours.
"I mean, man, I feel like Dale Earnhardt Sr. right now. This is awesome. I didn't do anything," Busch said of the 1999 race in which Earnhardt was booed for bumping Terry Labonte out of the way for the win.
Reddick finished second and faulted himself for not holding off Briscoe. Briscoe went from two turns away from the win to 22nd and immediately found Reddick on pit road to apologize.
"I was going to spin out, I think, either way," Briscoe said. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to let you know. I am sorry. I wish you would have won."
Reddick was understanding and admitted he should have been more defensive.
"I don't think I did everything right. Briscoe was able to run me back down there," Reddick said. "I should have done a little bit better job of just, I don't know, I shouldn't have let him get that close. He ran me back down. Worked really hard to do that.
"I mean, you're racing on dirt, going for the move on the final corner. It's everything that as a driver you hope to battle for in his situation. Made it really exciting for the fans. I should have done a better job and pulled away so he wasn't in range to try to make that move."
Rain had stopped the race for a second time moments before the race was supposed to go green with 30 laps remaining.
"It's slimy," Busch, who was running second as the rain slicked the track, said of the conditions.
From inside his cockpit, Reddick knew he had his work cut out for him if he was to win.
"One of the best in stock car racing, Kyle Busch, he's definitely going to make me earn it," Reddick said from inside his Chevrolet.
But Briscoe got past Busch when the rain finally stopped and it was Briscoe who wrecked Reddick's trip to victory lane.
The race was NASCAR's second attempt at running a Cup race on dirt and it turned into a wet and muddy mystery when rain paused the racing and most of the drivers seemed clueless about the rules.
Bristol dumped more than 2,300 truckloads of Tennessee red clay onto its beloved concrete 0.533-mile bullring to help NASCAR add variety to the schedule at a time the stock car series is experimenting with radical changes. Fox Sports then convinced NASCAR to take the prime-time television slot on Easter Sunday, the first time since NASCAR's 1949 inception the Cup Series deliberately chose the date.
NASCAR had held 10 previous Cup races on Easter Sunday in its history, but all because of weather-related rescheduling. This purposeful event was designed to dominate a television audience gathered together as a family the same way the NFL and NBA do on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
What the new audience saw was a mid-race mass of confusion because few drivers seemed to understand the rules during the first stoppage. Some drivers pitted — presumably because their teams knew scoring was halted under the red flag and wouldn't resume until the race went green.
Busch was among many drivers who did not pit — perhaps because they assumed they'd move up in the running order. So it was Busch who had his car out front when NASCAR halted all activity, but Briscoe, who had pitted, was scored as the leader.
Denny Hamlin, who had already been eliminated from the race, was watching on Fox Sports and saw what he claimed was a rules explanation that lasted longer than a minute.
"What's wrong with this picture," Hamlin wrote on Twitter. "As a fan sitting on my ass right now watching, it's hard to take this seriously."
Carson Hocevar, the runner-up in Saturday night's Truck Series race, posted a meme th at intimated NASCAR was making up the rules as it went along. In actuality, NASCAR was clear in its pre-race rules video that scoring would be stopped at the end of the stage and not resume until the race went green again.
The confusion up and down pit road indicated few had a clear grasp of the procedures, which at Bristol differed from all other Cup races. NASCAR held a mandatory pre-race driver meeting prior to the pandemic in which rules were discussed; it has since been replaced by a video.
The race did resume — with Briscoe as the leader — with the entire third stage still remaining.
DALE JR. TO THE FOX BOOTH
NASCAR Hall of Famer and NBC Sports analyst Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be in the rotating guest in the Fox Sports booth next Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.
Earnhardt will join Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer on Sunday. He has a record His record six wins at Talladega and is the 15-time winner of NASCAR's Most Popular Driver award.
"Calling a race from Talladega is an incredibly fun experience," Earnhardt said in a statement issued by Fox Sports. "You absolutely have to be on your toes at all times. It doesn't take much for all hell to break loose."
Fox Sports and NBC Sports split NASCAR's 38-race schedule. Neither network had an explanation for the sharing next week of Earnhardt. Fox Sports all season has used a different guest analyst as the replacement for Jeff Gordon, who returned to a competition role at Hendrick Motorsports this season and left the network with a two-man booth.
UP NEXT
NASCAR races next Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, where Brad Keselowski is he defending race winner and Bubba Wallace in October earned his first career victory.

SHARJAH- Sharjah Children, a subsidiary of Rubu’ Qarn Foundation for Creating Leaders and Innovators, has achieved outstanding results in the global competition for the Virtual Aerial Drones Competition "VRAD", after earning third place globally, held virtually through "Robotify" in the US.
The competition system relied virtually on the use of the Python language in virtual programming drones to discover space, specifically Mars, by using sensors to find out the locations of certain minerals and obtain the highest score from the competing team by extracting more minerals in a less period.
Noura Al Shamsi, Deputy Director of Sharjah Children, stated the association is pleased with the outstanding achievement in the competition by obtaining the third ranking in the world. However, it is only an extension of a series of continuous accomplishments due to well-studied and integrated plans. | https://www.zawya.com/en/business/technology-and-telecom/sharjah-children-achieves-3rd-place-in-vrad-bwk2sv0q | 2022-04-18T15:18:52Z | https://www.zawya.com/en/business/technology-and-telecom/sharjah-children-achieves-3rd-place-in-vrad-bwk2sv0q | false | null |

The strikeer is a decisive player in club as with his national squad. He largely contributed to his club’s 6-1 victory over Bordeaux last Sunday.
He is Lyon and the Lions clutch player. Author of a remarkable performance this Sunday, the Cameroonian winger is in the top 11 team of the 32nd Ligue 1 playing day. Jean Onana and his teammates of Bordeaux trashed 1-6 suffered before the assaults Karl Toko Ekambi and other players of Olympiques Lyonnais.
With his two goals, the striker took advantage of the errors of goalkeeper Poussin to score his first goal then he made use of his speed to put in his second goal of the game.
Some slight technical mistakes in the last pass and on two good situations against Poussin stained his balance sheet, however, Maxifoot gave him a mark of 7.5/10.
In recent weeks, Karl Toko Ekambi has gotten into the good habit of scoring in several money times. On March 28 for example,h waited until the 124th minute to plant a goal (2-1 victory) and a stab in the heart of the Algerians, who were virtually qualified for the World Cup in Qatar.
An achievement that is worth a lot for the former Angers player since he therefore sent his country to the World Cup, couple to his remarkable performance during the 2022 African Cup of Nations (5 goals) and the last match for playoffs qualification against Côté d’Ivoire.
In Qatar, he will be one of the major assets of Cameroon, which fell in a very tough Group D with Brazil, Switzerland and Serbia.
Karl Toko Ekambi is besides OL’s top scorer in the Europa League with six goals on the clock. He scored almost 1/3 of his team’s goals in this competition. | https://www.journalducameroun.com/en/cameroonian-toko-ekambi-essential-puzzle-to-lyon-and-lions/ | 2022-04-18T15:20:02Z | https://www.journalducameroun.com/en/cameroonian-toko-ekambi-essential-puzzle-to-lyon-and-lions/ | false | 1 |
The kind of start Umran Malik had to this IPL season could have demoralised any young bowler. Bowling his very first over of the season during the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, Malik got smashed all around the park as Jos Buttler took 21 runs of his over, including two sixes and two fours.
That assault was enough to put pressure on a young mind like that of Malik and throw his radar completely off for the rest of the match. But the 22-year-old showed that he isn't someone who can be intimidated easily. His strength of character and temperament really stood out in the way he bowled his remaining overs in the match.
Malik made a terrific comeback and claimed two wickets while conceding just 18 more runs in his remaining three overs in the game. The first wicket was that of Buttler as he ended up edging a good length delivery that just skidded off the surface. Malik got his much-needed revenge with that wicket, that too just four overs after being smashed to every part of the ground. The second wicket was that of Devdutt Padikkal and the sight was one that any fast bowler dreams of, as Malik knocked the middle-stump out of the ground with yet another pacey delivery from round the wicket line.
With that spell, Malik showed that raw pace isn't just his only strength. In fact, his strong temperament and ability to learn and adapt quickly is also going to take him a long way. Even though he bowled some expensive spells in the three matches after their opening game against the Royals, Malik has really come into his own in the last two outings against Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings.
4-0-27-2 vs KKR
4-1-28-4 vs PBKS
The Steyn Gun Approves!
The figures above show how good Malik has been in these two matches and his performances have made a direct impact on SRH's fortunes as well, who have now won four games on the trot.
Malik left the world raving about him during the match against KKR as he impressed everyone with the execution of his plan against Shreyas Iyer. He set the batter up with a barrage of pacey short deliveries and then launched a searing yorker to clean him up completely. The planning and execution was so good that even SRH's bowling coach Dale Steyn jumped off his seat and started celebrating wildly in the dug out.
"Umran is fantastic. It (his performances) is no reflection of me at all. It's all him at the moment. He has got amazing skills, he is showing everybody, bowling 150 kph," Steyn said after SRH's win against KKR.
"I am kind of living through him, wishing I could do it. But it's all him at the moment. He is certainly somebody whom we should keep an eye on for the future," the former South African fast bowling great added.
Steyn's excitement about Malik tells us a lot of things. It tells us how special the youngster is and what he is capable of. Shreyas Iyer wasn't the only batter he troubled that day. Malik put Nitish Rana in discomfort as well and bowled an excellent over to Andre Russell in the death, as he conceded just two runs in those six deliveries.
And that performance against KKR wasn't even his best as he turned the heat on again in the very next match against Punjab Kings. Malik bowled a triple-wicket maiden, which is such a rarity in T20 cricket, right in the final over of the Punjab innings and made the world sit up and take notice of his talent once again.
He kept hurling fire-balls at the batters with his searing pace and got the rewards as well. An overall economy rate of 9.14 in this IPL season makes him look very expensive. But a lot of those runs he has conceded have been behind the wicket, off edges and mishits from batters.
Malik is far from being a finished product yet and there is still a long way to go for him to reach that level. But he has successfully managed to create fear in the minds and hearts of batters with his pace and that is working very well for him, and also for his team Sunrisers Hyderabad, at the moment.
"Frighten the Batters With Pace"
The youngster hasn't bowled any overs in the powerplay after Buttler's assault against him in their opening game. The SRH management has also realised that he is more suited in a middle-overs enforcer role than bowling with the fielding restrictions on. He hits the hard lengths consistently at high pace and that pushes the batters out of their comfort zone in the middle-overs. Malik also agrees to this as he said during the post-match presentation after the game against Punjab that his job in the team is 'to frighten the batters with pace.'
The other SRH bowlers are also benefiting from Malik's presence in the lineup. After the game against Punjab, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was asked how having a speed machine like Malik bowling alongside him helps his craft.
Kumar joked initially, saying, "It doesn't help me much as the batters think that this guy is slow, so let's go after him."
But he agreed later that it does increase his chances of picking up wickets as more and more batters try to attack him. That is a direct impact of the fear created by Malik from the other end.
There has also been a remarkable improvement in Malik's bowling approach in every game. He has shown better control over his line and lengths without compromising on his pace at all. And that is a very good sign for him and also the future of Indian cricket.
Malik also has some wise company at SRH. An experienced veteran like Bhuvneshwar is there to advise him in the field every time whereas talented peers like Marco Jansen, T Natarajan and Kartik Tyagi are also there to compete with him and push his limits throughout the season.
But the presence of Steyn in the SRH camp is the biggest boon for Malik. There is nobody better to teach and mentor him in the trade of fast bowling better than the South African great. Malik has turned into a passion project for Steyn now and it has just opened up endless possibilities about what the youngster could develop into in the future.

Tightly Held Nielson Holdings Moves Up On Sale Talk
Neilson Holdings (NYSE: NLSN) got a big boost in March when it announced it was considering offers from a number of private equity firms. So far, no deals have been signed but there is a major shareholder betting big on the outcome. Windacre Partnership, LLC, broke a 2-year dry spell for insiders and major shareholders making 3 transactions, all purchases, in the first and second week of the 2nd quarter, 2022. These purchases totaled more than 91 million shares and bring Windacre Partnership’s holdings to over 25% of the company. The insiders, in general, don’t own a lot of the stock at only 0.5% of the shares outstanding but the institutions do.
Institutional ownership, including Windacre Partnership, tops the 99.0% mark and they have been net buyers for the last 4 quarters. The buying activity is worth about $.53 billion of the current market cap or about 5% of the market cap over the past year and is a substantial figure considering how tightly held the stock is. What this means, ultimately, is a number of shares have been sold short on the market, about 12.15% of the float to be exact, and that has the stock set up to move even higher when the next positive catalyst emerges, and that could be very soon if Windacre gets its way.
Nielsen has received a $28 per share offer from a P/E consortium the company views as favorable. The problem is Windacre Capital, the largest shareholder by far, opposes the deal and is upping its holdings in an effort to block the deal. This means a fight is brewing and it is one in which volatility is assured and higher shares prices are a possibility. As far as Windacre goes, they believe the stock is worth in excess of $40 and we think they may be right.
Copper Exploration Heating Up
From Investing Trends | Ad
Canada is already known as a miner's paradise. But British Columbia (BC) is quietly becoming the new copper hotspot. That's because copper is critical to the world's shift to renewable energy. Biden earmarked $226 billion in new infrastructure projects all requiring copper.
Discover Opportunities in the New Copper Hotspot
The Analysts Are Holding Nielson Holdings plc
The analyst's activity in Nielson Holdings has been mixed this year but the consensus rating is a firm Hold. The latest activity came out in the wake of the merger talks and includes one upgrade to buy from hold, one downgrade to Hold, and one reiterated Buy equivalent, and all three raised their price target to the now-current $28 bid for the company. This compares to the consensus target of $25.80 and the high price target of $33 that was set by BMO in the middle of 2022.
As for the valuation, the stock is trading at only 14.5X its earnings which is low compared to the broad market and other high-quality dividend growers that we follow. The dividend is very low at only 0.8% of the earnings outlook but there are two things to consider. The first is the dividend was cut dramatically in the wake of the pandemic to preserve capital and has never been returned to its pre-pandemic level. The second is the payout ratio is sub-15% and the balance sheet is strong so there is no reason not to expect the dividend to be returned to its previous levels sometime soonish. In that scenario, the company would issue an increase in the payout of $0.20 per quarter, or almost 500% of the current payout.
The Technical Outlook: Nielsen Consolidates, Market Waits For News
Price action in Nielson surged in the wake of the merger talk and quickly hit the initial $25.50 offer point. Price action has since moved up from that level to hit $28 where it is now consolidating. This move could turn into a rally or a rout, depending on the news, but we favor a rally in light of Windacre’s support and the outlook for the dividend. If, however, the deal falls apart the price action could quickly crumble under the pressure of short-selling. Windacre Partnership may be willing to bet big on this outcome, but we aren’t.

The Evolution of the Role of the CFO
It’s essential that the CFO organization has and will continue to move from being an enabling function to being an empowering function.

It’s essential that the CFO organization has and will continue to move from being an enabling function to being an empowering function.

We’re seeing a ton of interest in business intelligence tools where even your standard accountant is really embracing the use of tools that allow them to analyze data faster.
Partner, KPMG
When Congress passed the CFO Act of 1990, their goal was to bring some consistency and standardization to how agencies manage and report on their funding.
Now, 30-plus years later, the law not only empowered the role of the chief financial officer but transformed the entire financial management area for agencies.
Nearly every agency received a clean audit in 2020, most have implemented strong internal controls, and the CFO role itself has been elevated to that senior strata.
Now it’s time for the CFO office to transform once again.
Rep. Carol Maloney (D-NY) introduced the CFO Vision Act 2022 in March to do several things, including standardizing CFO responsibilities to enhance strategic decision-making, providing deputy CFOs with sufficient authority to minimize the effects of CFO turnover and revising financial management planning by requiring the release of governmentwide and agency-level plans to gauge progress in addressing financial management challenges.
In many ways, the legislation would confirm and codify a lot of what agencies are already doing today.
Nikki Reid, a partner at KPMG, said agencies don’t have to wait for a new law to accelerate the transformation of their financial management efforts.
“It’s essential that the CFO organization has and will continue to move from being an enabling function to being an empowering function,” Reid said on the Modern Government: Expanding the Impact of Federal Finance show. “To me, that is literally what all of this is all about really going from nuts and bolts accounting to being a purely compliance based organization to being someone that’s focused on operations and really empowering mission areas and leadership in these agencies to make strategic decisions.”
Data and technology are the enablers to drive those decisions. CFO organizations didn’t always have high-quality data, and the technology evolution over the past five years has really driven this transformation.
Agencies now have more transparency into their data and more accountability around the quality of the information, Reid said. Laws ranging from the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA) Act to several of those focused on improper payments have driven progress across the board, she added.
“Some of the agencies are really embracing and leveraging predictive analytics, which is something that I am so excited about,” she said. “When you think about the impacts to cash and receivables, and the impacts from a budget perspective, the government needs all this data to make decisions.
“Being able to leverage sometimes nonquantitative — or more and more qualitative aspects of data — in that decision-making effort, from a predictive standpoint, is eye opening and amazing. That’s probably the biggest thing that I’m seeing our clients start to do, and it’s great.”
That means agencies need to take advantage of historical data and combine it with new tools and methodologies to inform that predictive analytics, Reid said. She offered an example of a client going through a major transformation effort, deciding whether to move from a general fund to a working capital fund model.
“In order to be in a working capital fund, you have to have a lot more insight and detail about how you’re spending your money to develop whatever product or service you produce. In doing that, they have to have a lot more insights and information with respect to their data,” Reid said. “They are realizing that their data is not perfect, but they have to start. The great thing about this organization is they’re using visualization and data analytics, and it’s easier to see where they have holes in their data.”
This is one of the reasons why it’s important to get started in using data to drive decisions, she said, because the data will “clean itself up,” so to speak.
On the technology side, CFOs are partnering with other senior leaders whether it’s the chief information officer, chief acquisition officer or chief data officer.
“We really look at transformation in what we call dimensions. The first one is service delivery model, really understanding how you deliver your services. So that could be your funding model, your general fund or your working capital fund. That could be your service level agreements. Do you have shared service providers? It’s anything that enables you to operate effectively as a finance function,” she said. “The second would be people. Yes, we use tools, but you need people to make that activity work correctly. So really focusing on people, making sure they’re empowered, that they know what their job is, that they’re trained appropriately. All of that has to be a real aspect of transformation.”
The third dimension is data. Agencies need to make sure their data is clean, but they also must begin moving forward to use data to improve their decisions.
The fourth dimension is technology, which means automating manual processes through robotics process automation and other capabilities.
“We’re seeing a ton of interest in business intelligence tools where even your standard accountant is really embracing the use of tools that allow them to analyze data faster. No one will ever stop using Excel, right? But some of our government counterparts are really embracing the use of more effective tools to analyze data,” she said.
“There’s large-scale implementations of hardcore financial systems going on today, and there is a push to go to shared service providers. But there still are agencies that are truly implementing new financial systems. That’s not what I’m talking about today. I’m really focused on these technology enablers like low-code applications that allow you to really manage your data in, manage decision-making and manage workflow in a more effective way.”
And the final one is process and policy.
“Most CFOs are very, very familiar with process cycle memos, and process narratives, and all of these things that go with controls and internal control documentation. But your policy and your process should really be foundational to what you’re doing to ensure that you have consistency and that your teams are doing things right,” Reid said. “At the foundation of it all is your program and change management. You need to embrace those dimensions if you are really going to have true strategy and true change.”

Bipartisan group of federal lawmakers advocate for more VA health professionals in rural areas
The RURAL Veterans Act would establish an office of rural recruitment in the Department of Veterans Affairs.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Back from combat and dealing with health problems is a common issue for our nation’s veterans. Some veterans who live in rural areas say where they live is making it more difficult to access and receive Veterans Affairs health care.
Vietnam War Veteran Eric Cantu lives in rural Lenoir County, North Carolina. The nearest VA clinic is about 40 minutes away.
“It’s quite difficult to navigate the VA system as it’s set up, and we have delays anywhere from 60 to 90 days or more before we can get appointments,” said Cantu.
The 76-year-old said he’s being treated for multiple health issues including PTSD and COPD.
“I’m on oxygen 24/7,” said Cantu.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, about 4.7 million veterans return from active service to live in rural areas.
For comparison, 58% of rural veterans are enrolled in the VA health care system that’s 20% higher than the enrollment rate of urban veterans.
Of the rural veterans enrolled, about 55% are older than 65.
Russ Peal is the Director of Workforce Recruitment for Veterans Health and Administration for the VA. Peal said the department engages in an overall push to employ more doctors to treat veterans, but there isn’t a specific program to recruit solely for rural areas.
“We’ve leveraged all the tools and resources we have on our end in aggressive recruitment efforts to attract and get those providers in rural locations,” said Peal.
Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) is among a group of lawmakers advocating for the bipartisan RURAL Veterans Act to address what the group calls a shortage of Veterans Administration medical professionals in rural areas.
Grothman talks about the need in his home state.
“I think we can always use more,” he said. “We have a VA center in Cleveland, Wisconsin along with Lake Michigan, and I’m sure they can benefit from this program.”
In a statement, Rep. Ed Case (D-Hawaii) said, “specialty provider shortages in such rural areas are very acutely felt and compound the already-higher rates of poverty.”
If passed, the bipartisan legislation would establish an office of rural recruitment in the Department of Veterans Affairs. The office’s purpose would provide a targeted nationwide plan to recruit VA doctors to rural areas and be required to submit annual reports on the status of VA health care.
Lawmakers advocating for the RURAL Veterans Act hope the Veterans Affairs Committee picks the bill up.

Justices reject states’ appeal over tax deductions cap for state, local taxes
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland to the 2017 tax law that capped federal tax deductions for state and local taxes.
The lawsuit had previously been dismissed by lower courts. It argued that the Republican-led tax law, signed by then-President Donald Trump, unfairly singled out high-tax states in which Democrats predominate.
The law caps a deduction for state and local taxes, known as SALT, at $10,000. The lawsuit claimed that lawmakers crafted the provision to target Democratic states, interfering with the states’ constitutionally granted taxing authority.
Legislation to raise the cap has passed the House of Representatives but not the Senate.

Merger activity increased last week with five new deals announced and one of the five new deals announced was a potential deal in the works.
SailPoint Technologies SAIL
Thoma Bravo continued its binge of software acquisitions last week by entering into an agreement to acquire SailPoint Technologies. This is Thoma Bravo’s second acquisition this year. On March 30, 2022, Thoma Bravo announced the acquisition of Anaplan (PLAN) for $10.7 billion. We checked our database and Thoma Bravo acquired six public companies last year for a total of $32.3 billion. The private equity firm has also approached Twitter (TWTR) after Elon Musk sent his $54.20 per share non-binding proposal to acquire Twitter.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, SailPoint Technologies provides identity security to modern enterprises by harnessing AI and machine learning. On April 11, 2022, the company entered into an agreement to be acquired by Thoma Bravo for $6.9 billion. Expected to close in the second half of the year, the agreement includes a “go-shop” period, that will expire on May 16, 2022.
Datto Holding MSP
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, Datto Holding provides security and cloud-based software solutions purpose-built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). We added Datto Holdings as a potential deal in the works on March 16, 2022, when Bloomberg reported that the company was exploring strategic options including a potential sale after receiving takeover interest. MSP’s price after this announcement was $25.86. On April 11, 2022, Kaseya, a provider of unified IT management and security software , entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Datto for $6.2 billion or $35.50 per share in cash. The offer represents a 52% premium to Datto’s stock price of $23.37 as of March 16.
Nielsen Holdings NLSN
WindAcre Partners disclosed on April 14 that it has raised its stake in Nielsen Holdings to 25% as it continues to oppose the company’s agreement to be acquired by a private equity consortium.
You can find all the active deals listed below in our Merger Arbitrage Tool (MAT) that automatically updates itself during market hours.
Deals In The Works
There were four new deals announced in the Deals in the Works section last week.
We added Twitter TWTR as a potential deal in the works on April 13, 2022, when Elon Musk offered to buy the company for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before he began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before his investment was publicly announced.
In response to this offer, and in order to prevent a hostile bid from Musk, the Board of Directors of Twitter unanimously adopted a limited duration shareholder rights plan, a method also known as a “poison pill”. The poison pill, which is expected to expire on April 14, 2023, will go into effect if a shareholder acquires more than 15% of the company without prior approval by the board.
According to the press release, “In the event that the rights become exercisable due to the triggering ownership threshold being crossed, each right will entitle its holder (other than the person, entity or group triggering the Rights Plan, whose rights will become void and will not be exercisable) to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, additional shares of common stock having a then-current market value of twice the exercise price of the right.”
We could see a bidding war for Twitter in the coming days, with Thoma Bravo expressing interest in making a competing bid for Musk’s offer. Twitter is working with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase while Musk is working with Morgan Stanley.
SPAC Arbitrage
There was one new SPAC IPOs filed and one new SPAC combinations announced last week. You can find the new SPAC IPO announcements in our SPACs tool here.
- EUDA Health Limited, a Singapore-based digital health platform and 8i Acquisition 2 Corp. (8i) (LAX) entered into a definitive business combination agreement.

Within the last quarter, Upwork UPWK has observed the following analyst ratings:
These 4 analysts have an average price target of $41.0 versus the current price of Upwork at $19.985, implying upside.
Below is a summary of how these 4 analysts rated Upwork over the past 3 months. The greater the number of bullish ratings, the more positive analysts are on the stock and the greater the number of bearish ratings, the more negative analysts are on the stock
This current average has decreased by 19.61% from the previous average price target of $51.00.
What Are Analyst Ratings?
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Duncan Robinson made eight 3-pointers for Miami. Jonas Valanciunas grabbed 25 rebounds for New Orleans. Anthony Edwards scored 36 points for Minnesota in his playoff debut. Phoenix’s Chris Paul became the oldest player in postseason history with a 30-point, 10-assist game.
Game 1s brought greatness out of some.
Game 2s will give others a bounce-back chance.
A trio of Game 2s are on Tuesday’s NBA schedule — Atlanta at Miami, Minnesota at Memphis and New Orleans at Phoenix. The top-seeded Heat in the East and top-seeded Suns in the West both opened the postseason quests with double-digit home wins, while the seventh-seeded Timberwolves struck first on the Grizzlies’ home floor.
Atlanta’s Trae Young was held to a career-worst-tying 1-for-12 shooting and a season-low eight points by a swarming Miami defense on Sunday. Memphis’ Ja Morant scored 32 points, but missed 10 of his last 13 shots from the floor against Minnesota on Saturday. And New Orleans’ CJ McCollum scored 25 points, keeping his team in it much of the way Sunday, though started 2 for 12 and finished 9 for 25.
“I didn’t push tempo enough. ... Playing against the No. 1 seed, you’ve got to make shots and got to be able to score with them,” McCollum said.
The Pelicans and Hawks were both playing a third game in a span of five days Sunday, each doing so in three different cities. They had play-in games at home on Wednesday, then traveled for another one Friday — Atlanta to Cleveland, New Orleans to Los Angeles to face the Clippers — then had to get back on planes for Game 1s in Miami and Phoenix.
Monday will be a day to get settled, and it stands to reason that Tuesday will be smoother for both.
“We cannot be an excuse team,” Atlanta’s Danilo Gallinari said. “We have to be ready to play.”
Adjustments will be made, as always, between Game 1 and Game 2. The Hawks must find ways to get Young to his spots. The Pelicans can’t let Paul shoot 12 for 16 again. The Timberwolves know they’ll get Memphis’ best shot, since the Grizzlies clearly can’t afford to go down 0-2 at home.
Veterans know Game 1s are never worth making snap judgments over, because series narratives can and often do change in Game 2s.
“You never get too high, never get too low,” Miami guard Kyle Lowry said. “I’ve lost a bunch of Game 1s and won the series. I’ve won a couple Game 1s and lost the series. You’ve got to be able to stay even-keeled, no matter what.”
Tuesday’s games:
HAWKS AT HEAT
Miami leads 1-0. Game 2, 7:30 p.m. EDT, TNT.
— NEED TO KNOW: Young was held below 15 points on five previous occasions this season. In the game immediately following those contests, he averaged 30.8 points on 54% from the field and 98% from the foul line. He will be super-aggressive on Tuesday.
— KEEP AN EYE ON: The Heat won by 24 and got only 12 points, combined, from Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. The Heat didn’t need them to score much, not with Robinson scoring 27 off the bench, but it’s also tough to expect both Adebayo and Herro to remain quiet in Game 2.
— INJURY WATCH: Hawks C Clint Capela (knee hyperextension) expected to remain out.
— PRESSURE IS ON: Miami. The Heat can’t give Atlanta momentum to go home with. The Hawks, including the play-in, have gone 28-14 at home this season and that — statistically improbable as it may seem — includes a 10-game losing streak. The Hawks lost every home game they played from Nov. 27 through Jan. 15, but are 20-3 in their building since. That’s the best home record in the NBA over that span.
TIMBERWOLVES AT GRIZZLIES
Minnesota leads 1-0. Game 2, 8:30 p.m. EDT, NBA TV.
— NEED TO KNOW: The Timberwolves led the NBA in 3-pointers made during the regular season and showed that prowess in Game 1, outscoring Memphis 48-21 from beyond the arc. What should further concern the Grizzlies is that they allowed 130 points on a night where D’Angelo Russell shot just 2 for 11.
— KEEP AN EYE ON: Morant. Memphis’ best player was 5 for 5 in the first quarter of Game 1, 3 for 13 from the field the rest of the way. He attempted 20 free throws, which speaks to his aggressiveness, but the Grizzlies can’t have Morant making three baskets over 36 minutes and expect success.
— INJURY WATCH: Nothing of great significance. Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns was limping a bit in the final minutes of Saturday’s win after turning one of his ankles, but finished the game.
— PRESSURE IS ON: Memphis. Completely, totally on Memphis. If the Grizzlies watched Minnesota’s play-in game (and they obviously did), they would be aware of the atmosphere that awaits them when this series shifts back to Minneapolis later this week. A 2-0 deficit will prove very tough to overcome. Tuesday is absolutely huge to the Grizzlies’ hopes.
PELICANS AT SUNS
Phoenix leads 1-0. Game 2, 10 p.m. EDT, TNT.
— NEED TO KNOW: All five Suns-Pelicans games have been decided by double figures this season, Phoenix now going 4-1 in those matchups. Paul, a couple of weeks shy of his 37th birthday, was a maestro in Game 1.
— KEEP AN EYE ON: Even though Phoenix won Game 1, a 55-35 rebounding deficit will need to be addressed in Game 2.
— INJURY WATCH: New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram seemed to be laboring through some ankle issues in the second half of Game 1.
— PRESSURE IS ON: Phoenix. New Orleans shouldn’t feel any pressure in this series, even if elimination looms. The previous team to make the playoffs with a 36-46 record or worse was the Boston Celtics in 2004. The Pelicans are playing with house money the rest of the way and the Suns probably would be wise to not give them more reasons to believe.

Comparing Sonos to Bose
If you’ve ever shopped around for audio electronics, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the brands Sonos and Bose. They’re two of the most prominent audio equipment manufacturers, so you may be wondering if one makes better products.
Both have a lot going for them — their focus is where they differ. Sonos focuses primarily on manufacturing home audio equipment, while Bose has a broader range of products.
Sonos
Sonos was founded in 2002 and is known for multi-room audio products. Specifically, the company specializes in manufacturing high-end home speakers but has branched out a bit and now makes portable smart speakers.
Sonos pros
If you want a home speaker system, you can’t go wrong with Sonos. Its speakers deliver outstanding sound with excellent bass, perfect for a home theater setup or a home music hub.
The most significant advantage Sonos offers is connecting multiple speakers in your home that can be controlled from one place. For example, you can have a set of speakers in your living room, bedroom and basement, and control them all from your smartphone without adjusting any connections. If you’re streaming music from your smartphone in one room, you can easily switch to another room at the touch of a button.
Sonos also has a couple of excellent portable speakers that include similar connectivity features.
Sonos cons
Sonos products are notorious for being expensive. Some argue that the sound quality and premium features are worth the cost, but you’re better off looking elsewhere if you’re working with a budget.
Also, Sonos speakers work better with Apple’s iOS operating system, so if you have an Android smartphone or tablet, you might find that some features aren’t as functional.
Best Sonos products
The Arc is Sonos’ top-tier soundbar. It creates an immersive 3D effect so you can experience sounds like explosions, planes and whispers with breathtaking clarity, as if you’re in the movie. It features Dolby Atmos Music for high-quality sound and can be controlled in several ways, including the Sonos smartphone app and AirPlay 2. Sold by Sonos
The Five is a home speaker that delivers intense lows and studio-quality acoustic sound. It’s excellent for listening to music, and it has TruePlay tuning technology that automatically adjusts the sound based on the environment. Sold by Sonos
Sonos speakers sound terrific on their own, but adding a subwoofer is a game-changer. This subwoofer will create a more immersive, detailed sound by amplifying the bass, letting your other speakers accentuate the highs and mids. It’s easy to set up over Wi-Fi and can be paired with an additional subwoofer for an even better audio experience. Sold by Sonos
The Move is Sonos’ first portable Bluetooth speaker, and it delivers on all ends with impressive sound output, water resistance and several smart features. It can sync with your other Sonos speakers and comes with a convenient charging base. Sold by Sonos
Bose
Bose has been around since 1964, so it’s the more established, recognizable brand, offering several top-quality audio products. It makes home speakers and soundbars but is also a top manufacturer of headphones and portable speakers.
Bose pros
Bose products are known for their rich sound, and although Bose is a top audio equipment brand, many of them are more affordable than Sonos equivalents. A Bose home theater speaker setup will cost you less than the same setup would if you went with Sonos.
Also, Sonos doesn’t make headphones, but Bose does, in styles including over-ear, noise-canceling, sport, wireless and earbuds.
Bose cons
Bose speakers come with a universal remote, but it’s not nearly as intuitive as Sonos’ smartphone app. Bose speakers also are less interactive than Sonos speakers, so while you can have multiple Bose speakers spread through your home, you won’t be able to seamlessly control them all as you would with a Sonos home multi-room setup.
Best Bose products
Thanks to its elegant tempered-glass top and metal grille, this soundbar looks fantastic, and it sounds even better behind several custom drivers and intuitive audio technology. It provides excellent surround sound and is compatible with Alexa, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Sold by Amazon
This smart speaker is loaded with features and delivers excellent wall-to-wall sound. The speaker is compatible with Alexa, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and multiple users can personalize their experience with the Bose app. Sold by Amazon
Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones 700

Should you get a Bose or Sonos speaker?

Both brands deliver when it comes to audio quality. Sonos products are a little pricier, but many customers love them for their durability and functionality. Ultimately, you should work within your budget to customize your listening experience the way you want.

“The Minutes” was a few days away from officially opening on Broadway when the shutdown began in March 2020.
Two years later, Tracy Letts’ anarchic political comedy (which originated at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre) has returned to Broadway, albeit at a different theater and without Armie Hammer (who withdrew after allegations of sexual assault were made against him), but with many other members of the original cast including Letts himself, Austin Pendleton, Sally Murphy, Jessie Mueller, Blair Brown, and Ian Barford.
At first glance, “The Minutes” appears to be a straightforward political satire with a “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” premise, in which an innocent new council member (Noah Reed) is contrasted with his crazed colleagues and a dysfunctional setting.
Halfway through, the council members reenact the story of the town’s founding, which bears a striking resemblance to the 1956 Western film “The Searchers” and functions as a kind of group strange ritual and religious ceremony.
As the 90-minute play (sharply directed by Anna D. Shapiro) goes along, it turns increasingly bizarre, biting, and engrossing, as a debate over how to respond to a disturbing revelation about the town’s past evokes the heated backlash to “critical race theory.”

Hopeful New York City buyers are landing in stiff competition as prices roar back from pandemic lows and bidding wars become harder to avoid.
But just because an offer comes in first, or highest, doesn’t mean it will be the one to ultimately go to contract. Brokers say that sellers, despite often receiving a multitude of offers on a home, often end up turning to their second, third and even fifth choice buyers to get a deal done.
“I don’t think I’ve dealt with this before,” said William Krooss-Tadas of the Edry Team at Keller Williams.
Brokers told The Real Deal that New York City’s hyper-competitive market has created a vicious cycle: buyers, fearful of being outbid, put offers on multiple homes at the same time. Sellers, anxious to cash in before their prospective buyers move on, respond by dramatically shortening the due diligence process, often giving buyers five business days to go into contract.
The result: a seller’s first choice backs out after their offer is accepted. Then, the race is on to find the next highest bidder.
How often deals fall through is unclear. UrbanDigs data suggest the rate of broken contracts in Manhattan hovered between 5 and 7 percent over the past year after a massive peak following the onset of the pandemic. Since the wave set off by buyers backing out of deals they signed before the lockdown, contracts have been breaking at a higher rate each month this year than those in January 2020.
Being second in line can be advantageous for some buyers, providing they have their paperwork in order.
“The second buyer, who might have had the fourth-highest offer, they get all the due diligence sent over on day one, which makes it much more realistic they’ll get it done,” Krooss-Tadas said.
Buyers can sometimes secure a victory at a discount after the first deal falls through. Oliver Peterson, an agent at Living New York, submitted a bid for his client on a condo in Fort Greene under the $900,000 ask, which the other agent told him was “a backup.”
“I know they had two offers ahead of ours after the first one fell through,” Peterson said. “I just kept following up: did it fall through? And then, very luckily, it did.”
Peterson’s client ended up going into contract on the condo for $899,000.
The current landscape, awash with bidding wars, can lead sellers on a roller coaster to closing.
A home in Greenpoint recently hit the market, asking just under $1.4 million. David Kazemi of Bond New York represented the listing, which got five offers, some over $1.5 million. But just as his client started seeing dollar signs, things went south.
Each of the first four buyers pulled out, one after the other, before the seller accepted a bid just over asking from the buyer in fifth place.
“Just as quickly as it went up it went back to zero,” Kazemi said. “I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen before.”
Kazemi said the pattern of deals falling through could be spurred by uncertainty and volatility amid the historic rise in interest rates, and a sign the market has started to peak.
“People get caught up in the frenzy,” he said. “People weren’t as concerned when you’re locking in a 30 year mortgage rate under 3 percent. Now we’re at 5 percent, it’s starting to give people a little bit of a pause and they’re taking a breath.” | https://therealdeal.com/2022/04/18/bidding-wars-abound-but-brokers-say-buyers-dont-have-to-be-no-1-to-close-a-deal/ | 2022-04-18T15:58:50Z | https://therealdeal.com/2022/04/18/bidding-wars-abound-but-brokers-say-buyers-dont-have-to-be-no-1-to-close-a-deal/ | false | 1 |

Book Review: “Giovanni’s Room”
James Baldwin’s “Giovanni’s Room” routinely tops lists of Baldwin must-reads – and yet, it seems to be the work that the 21st century is least interested in.
Baldwin’s prominence as a writer and activist cannot be overstated. Still, recent adaptations of Baldwin’s work tend to emphasize or exclusively center on one (albeit integral) facet of his literary identity: his race. Movies like “I Am Not Your Negro” (2016) and “If Beale Street Could Talk” (2018) have found critical success but unintentionally place a shadow over Baldwin’s influence as a queer author.
“Giovanni’s Room” is a staple of the literary canon, and its intertwining themes of identity, immigration and American nationalism are as relevant today as they were in the 1950s. But it is Baldwin’s unique prose that truly makes the short book worth reading. The novel – just around 160 pages – is a paramount example of Baldwin’s ability to capture the wrought nuance of inner conflict.
The story is told from the perspective of David, a young, closeted American who comes to France to “find himself.” While his fiancée (Hella) is away in Spain, David enters into a relationship with an Italian bartender, Giovanni. His relationships with Hella and Giovanni suffer and roll into despair as David learns and fails to accept parts of his self-discovery.
Much of the tragedy surrounding David’s experience comes from his warped idea of “cleanliness.” Giovanni says as much to him: “You want to be clean. You think you came here covered with soap – and you do not want to stink, not even for five minutes…”
David’s concern with being “clean” is adjacent to his abhorrence of the body (his, and others). He despises what his body makes him feel for Giovanni, “…my own body suddenly seemed gross and crushing and the desire which was rising in me seemed monstrous.” Baldwin masterfully articulates the line between pleasure and disgust. “Then, when he touched me, I thought, it doesn’t matter, it is only the body, it will soon be over.”
David’s anxiety around the body reflects his attitude toward his identity as an American: an identity that he both hates and obsesses over. “And I resented this: resented being called an American (and resented resenting it) because it seemed to make me nothing more than that, whatever that was; and I resented being called not an American because it seemed to make me nothing.” This sentence encapsulates the complicated crutch that the American identity often creates for those who wear American individualism on their sleeve. This notion of “resenting resentment” elegantly describes the bulk of David’s inner turmoil concerning his sexuality and opposing nationalism.
The idea of acceptable masculinity is conflated with “the hot-blooded American man” for David. This directly leads to the linchpin of David’s tragedy: his inability and unwillingness to communicate. “I wanted to say so many things. Yet, when I opened my mouth, I made no sound.” For David, there is nothing more affirming of his self-discovery than the articulation of the truth, and that articulation is what frightens him the most. “I could not stop talking, though I feared at every instant that I would say too much. Perhaps I wanted to say too much.”
What makes “Giovanni’s Room” powerful is its ability to perfectly describe this anxiety about what cannot be spoken. This frustration of not knowing what to say, or fearing the consequences of the spoken truth, is what makes this novel resonate with young people – with those who may be experiencing similar emotions in their respective self-discoveries.
Ultimately, it can be argued that Baldwin uses David as a cautionary tale about fear. “You play it safe long enough…and you’ll end up trapped in your own dirty body, forever and forever and forever.” While “Giovanni’s Room” most obviously reflects Baldwin’s personal experience with his sexuality, the themes and messages about self-understanding and ownership are infinitely valuable to any reader.
“I had never realized such a sentiment in myself before, and it frightened me.” While Baldwin offers a story wrought in tragedy, he also provides an opportunity for one to decide for oneself what to do with this fright. | https://www.smudailycampus.com/ae/book-review-giovannis-room | 2022-04-18T16:04:26Z | https://www.smudailycampus.com/ae/book-review-giovannis-room | false | 1 |

A Reddit user claims they were the victim of a false police report made by trolls in order to stop them from taking over a gym in Pokemon Go.
Gyms have been a staple of the Pokemon franchise since its inception in 1996. Players defeat gym leaders to earn badges, and with enough badges, they can challenge the region’s toughest trainers.
But in Pokemon Go, gyms operate a bit differently. Gyms are play points that are associated with important real-world landmarks. Each gym can be taken over by one of the game’s three teams, and players from other teams attempt to take the gym back.

Because all of this happens in real-time, gym battles can sometimes feel like virtual turf wars. All of the violence happens in-game between virtual monsters, but on rare occasions, it can spill over into the real world.
Pokemon Go players call cops during gym battle
Pokemon Go does have one similarity to the animated series that no other game does, and that’s the presence of law enforcement. These non-player characters were fairly active during the game’s launch stopping trespassers and responding to injured players.
However, Reddit user darthmaclean claims their local police officers arrived at the scene of an ongoing gym battle in response to a false report.

Darthmaclean wrote, “I was fighting a yellow gym. A few people were defending it. They called the cops on me, and then reported my name as offensive.”
The user stated the trolls drove away as soon as the officers arrived on the scene, but they didn’t know anything more about the call. They also shared that their name was reported, presumably by the gym defenders and that they are being forced to change their username to continue playing.
So…last night i was fighting a yellow gym. a few people were defending it. They called the cops on me, and then reported my name as offensive. so i have to change my name. people are seriously butthurt now adays. did anyone else have something like this happen to them? from pokemongo
Their former Pokemon Go username was ‘JesusEh’, a name they had since the game was released. Many comments thought it outrageous that Niantic would make him change his name, while others noted it’s potential offensiveness to religious players.

A number of comments on the post shared similar interactions with the police while playing Pokemon Go. However, after explaining the game to the officers, they were allowed to continue playing.

VENICE, Fla. (AP) — Sheriff's deputies captured video of a large alligator crawling through a front yard in Florida before making its way into a community lake.
The video was taken Sunday morning in Venice, Florida, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post.
Deputies estimated the gator to be about 10 feet long (3 meters).
The sheriff's office notified the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They also warned neighbors to be on alert because the alligator sauntered down to Harrington Lake to take an Easter morning swim.
Venice is south of Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Large-alligator-saunters-through-Florida-17088084.php | 2022-04-18T16:06:36Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Large-alligator-saunters-through-Florida-17088084.php | true | null |
When popular fast-food chain Taco Bell announced it would remove the popular Mexican Pizza from its menu in 2020, it was met with backlash from customers who’d come to love the dish. So much so that a change.org petition calling for the pizza’s return received more than 171,000 signatures, catching the attention of Taco Bell decision makers who now say the item will return.
Starting next month, the fan-favorite item will once again be available for hungry diners to enjoy, thanks in large part to customer demand that showed just how beloved the pizza is by Taco Bell customers.
“Our menu is full of fan-favorites, but the Mexican Pizza is at the top of that list,” said Mark King, CEO of Taco Bell in a press release. “From its flashy introduction to menus in 1985 as ‘Pizzazz Pizza’ to its inspiration behind the creation of infamous jingles, Mexican Pizza has a long history with the brand and I’m glad we could give fans what they crave and bring our classic Mexican Pizza back home where it belongs.”
The petition to bring back the Mexican Pizza was started by “Taco Bell superfan” Krish Jagirdar who said the item was special to him for various reasons.
“Like many Indian-Americans who grew up vegetarian, we had limited access to the ‘fun’ fast food, so Taco Bell became a bridge to belonging in American culture for many kids like me who grew up in immigrant households,” Jagirdar said. “That’s what made it especially devastating when the Mexican Pizza was pulled from menus in 2020, but fast forward two years later and I found myself on a conference call with the Taco Bell team as they shared news of the return of the Mexican Pizza, showing that listening to their fans is clearly embedded in their DNA. It’s one of the many reasons Taco Bell is more than just another fast-food restaurant.”
The Mexican Pizza is made with two crispy flour shells, layered with beans, pizza sauce, seasoned beef, tomatoes and a melted three cheese blend. It is also available as a vegetarian dish without the seasoned beef and can be customized to add or subtract ingredients.
While the customer demand helped push the decision to bring back the pizza, Taco Bell also had to find a way to “streamline operations and ingredient sourcing, and leave a lighter footprint at the same time,” according to the press release. Having found a way to do that, the company says it can now move forward with making the pizza a permanent menu item once again.
The Mexican Pizza will be available to order starting on May 19, however Taco Bell Rewards loyalty members will be able to order on May 17. The company says special promotions and exclusive fan offers will be announced ahead of pizza’s return.

MISOSULA, Mont. - There's going to be a new option for something that everybody has, but nobody wants... garbage. Missoulians will soon have a choice in who hauls it away.
L&L Site Services began in Gallatin County and is expanding into Missoula.
According to the owner Lance Johnson, they're shooting to begin services in May.
They're waiting to receive the final certificate from the Public Service Commission authorizing them to begin pick up, which Johnson said should come any day now.
This has been a long time coming.
Republic Services is currently the only garbage collector in Missoula.
L&L Site Services first won approval to serve Missoula in 2018, but then that decision was later reversed after Republic appealed.
The company reapplied last year and received approval again in March.
Johnson said he feels confident breaking into the Missoula market.
“It’ll be exciting to get in and actually, essentially duplicate what we did in Gallatin County, outside the city of Bozeman, where our competition was a monopoly down here too," Johnson said. "It’s definitely benefited the area and we’ve seen a lot of positive impacts to the community by another company coming in, so it’s exciting and has been a long journey.”
While Johnson waits for the certificate, a core crew in Missoula is already hired and getting trucks, containers and dumpsters ready.
L&L Site Services requested access to Republic Services' landfill and recycling facility, but if that's denied, they're ready to haul to TRI-County Disposal out of Helena.
As for pricing, Johnson said he can't officially set it until they have the certificate, but they have a growing list of people interested across Missoula and will reach out as soon as they're ready.

When asked about roomy, third-row SUVs in the Cadillac stable, many of us will instantly refer to the iconic Escalade as fitting that criteria — which it has done since 1999. While the 2022 XT6 may be the younger sibling to Escalade, it offers a comparable amount of interior space and that oft-requested third row.
The new XT6 slots just below Escalade and right above the smaller XT5. There are plenty of luxury amenities between these three SUVs, lots of cabin space for the segment, and competitive pricing across the board. This 2022 XT6 is impressive on many levels.

The Cadillac XT6 is a handsome SUV that goes in the opposite direction of many competitors by keeping the side-panel creases and wheel-well hooding to a minimum. I love this approach because it lets other smaller design cues set the tone as being more understated, but sophisticated.
Of particular note are the vertical daytime running lights at the front, slotted low and in the corners. Echoing this same look at the rear are some great-looking vertical LED tail lamps. The large front grille on my tester was matte black, which allowed the other front elements to stand out — including the familiar Cadillac crest.
As for the fake vents upfront, I’m not a fan, though I do recognize this is a popular mainstream design cue. I guess my thinking is if they are there they should serve some function, not unlike the moonroof that does not open.
Cabin comforts
This XT6 is an incredibly comfortable SUV. With a well-appointed cabin and roomy spaces for drivers and passengers, short trips and road trips are equally easy to find a great seating position and enjoy the quiet cabin and ride.
Getting a comfy seat and clear view is easy in the XT6, especially with the heated and cooled eight-way power seats. My tester featured the captain’s chairs in the second row (as opposed to a bench) and these are very comfortable and supportive while also offering easier access to the third row.
Leather upholstery, soft-touch surfaces, and a combo of dials and buttons with touchscreen responsiveness make this an extremely easy vehicle to interface with for audio, communications, climate, or other added features like navigation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, a wi-fi charger located in the center bin not only charged my phone with its case on but had more than enough space for the biggest phones.
When you fold all the seats flat there’s a massive 78.7 cubic feet of space for cargo. With all seats up you get 12.6 cubic feet of space, in addition to a storage bin below. Fold the third row flat and you get about 48 cubic feet.
AWD performance
My first comment about performance is you should keep in mind this is a Cadillac that has comfort and ride in mind as a priority. Sporty performance is not part of the equation here, nor should it be for consumers who choose not to pay for such additional features.
The XT6 features a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. The 9-speed automatic transmission is more than capable of keeping up with whatever the XT6 needs, though it gets loud during excessive acceleration.
My tester model came with an all-wheel-drive system that shifts power between the left and right rear wheels thanks to a pair of electronically activated clutches at the rear. There are four driving modes, Tour which uses front-wheel drive, AWD, Sport which gives you more aggressive throttle and shift programming, and Snow made should you encounter any white stuff falling from the sky. The Premium Luxury XT6 AWD models also feature torque-on-demand to the rear axle with an open rear differential.
Fuel economy is with the stop-start feature engaged. A variable displacement cylinder deactivation system also helps to add more fuel economy. I managed the combined city/highway of 21/18/25 mpg in my AWD XT6 tester.
Platinum package
The base XT6 Premium starts at $48,595; the Premium Luxury starts at $54, 995; and my tester, with the Platinum Package ($5,000), landed at $70,965. The Platinum level adds Semi-Aniline Leather, French Stitched Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel, Microfiber Suede Headliner, Real-Time Damping Suspension and many other goodies.
The Tech Package ($2,350) includes HD Surround Vision, Park Assist, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Rear Camera Washer, and Night Vision ($2,000). The upgraded audio system, a 14-speaker Bose system was an appreciated extra.
An SUV from Cadillac with a cost north of $70,000 might raise some eyebrows, especially one not named Escalade. Perhaps there is additional understated excellence I did not tap into, but from a ride, comfort, and tech approach, the 2022 XT6 is in the same ballpark as most of the competitors in this segment that doesn’t offer turbo power or a performance DNA.

Phoenix Suns 'Fun Facts': Meet Devin Booker, wine connoisseur
The Phoenix Suns have been having a blast this historic season.
We’ve decided to join in the fun.
The Republic talked to every player on the team about a variety of topics ranging from their likes, childhood memories and more.
We’re calling this series, what else, “Fun Facts.”
Up first, three-time All-Star Devin Booker shares his love for wine.
Name: Devin Booker
Position: SG
Age: 25
NBA season: 7th
Twitter: @DevinBook
Instagram: @dbook
Fun fact: Booker knows wines.
Q: When did you start becoming a wine connoisseur?
DB: “When I learned more and when I went to Napa Valley.”
Booker first visited the California vineyards when turning 21. He’s now 25.
DB: “Just learned the wine-making process and everything that goes into it. Understanding the farming behind it. It’s always been an interest of mine. I probably started drinking wine at like 20.”
Booker paused and started smiling as the legal age limit to drink is 21.
DB: “Nineteen. Twenty. The legal limit is 21? Once I was in the NBA, I started getting acquainted with it more. Not drinking hard liquor as much, you know. Just a little night cap. Have a glass or two and it made me feel good.”
Q: When you’re picking a wine, what are you looking for in a wine?
DB: “It really depends on what you’re eating. This is what I’m talking about.”
Q: OK. How so?
DB: “Pairing your wine with what you’re eating. Time of day. There are people that break it down and I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from. Pairing your wine with the correct food makes the experience that much better.”
Q: Give us an example?
DB: If you’re eating a fish, you want a lighter wine. You’re eating a steak, a chicken, something heavier, you want a more full-bodied wine. Darker. Dark purple. You can see it in the glass.”

I realize it’s the day after Easter, but I came across this magnificent video, and just had to share. These are Bettys Imperial Easter Eggs, and if someone gave one of them to me as a child, I would likely have died of happiness (and possibly sugar shock).
Bettys is a Yorkshire-based craft chocolatier and bakery that’s been around since 1919. The shop looks back to its 1920s roots for ideas, and amazingly, both their recipes and their decor hit the mark. I have a real soft spot for family businesses that have been around for a long time, and this is one of the best. The first of the videos below is actually part 1 of a 5-part documentary about the origins of the business, and it’s a wonderful story. In fact, Bettys is such an iconic story, it’s even got a book written about it!
Bettys has certainly come into the 21st century in a big way, with a serious social media presence to supplement their amazing shop, online store, and tea rooms. Good for them! There’s even a Bettys Baking Secrets series on YouTube. I plan on bingeing those very soon!
You can learn more about Bettys on their website and on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. | https://myonebeautifulthing.com/2022/04/18/bettys/ | 2022-04-18T16:13:52Z | https://myonebeautifulthing.com/2022/04/18/bettys/ | true | 1 |
