Sky have issued a message to everyone claiming Universal Credit or State Pension.
As the cost of living rises with the inflation rate hitting a 30 year high, TV and broadband supplier Sky wants to help people hit the hardest and help them save £90 a year.
The internet provider has now launched a deal specifically claiming benefits.

Named 'Broadband Basics', the contract costs just £20 and will be for existing Sky customers who get Universal Credit or Pension Credit.
The tariff will offer 36M/bs broadband for 18 months. This type of deal usually costs £25 a month with Sky - so you would save £90 over that time, as Manchester Evening News reports.
If you need to leave your broadband deal before the 18 months is up, you won’t be charged an exit fee.

The Now broadband deal is a rolling monthly contract and while there is no exit fee,
Both deals are designed to help low income households who are struggling during the cost of living crisis.
It comes after communications regulator Ofcom warned millions of families are missing out on a £144 saving on their broadband bills by not taking advantage of social tariffs. Currently six broadband providers – BT, Community Fibre, G.Network, Hyperoptic, KCOM and Virgin Media O2 – offer at least one of these specially discounted deals.
These packages are priced at between £10 and £20 a month for broadband speeds ranging from 10Mbit/s to 67Mbit/s.
Lindsey Fussell from Ofcom said: “We’ve been calling on broadband firms to do more to support customers suffering financial hardship.
"So we’re pleased Sky has responded with a special discount for people on low incomes. We want to see all providers step up and offer these packages, and promote them more widely." | https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/sky-issues-message-customers-could-23726031 | 2022-04-19T14:29:02Z | https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/sky-issues-message-customers-could-23726031 | true | 1 |

Tax time: that interesting time of year when ordinarily smart people begin to make really dumb financial decisions. Isn’t it amazing to watch what a little extra cash, otherwise known as a tax refund, lining the pockets can do?
Random online polls suggest that 61% of U.S. taxpayers expect that this year, they’ll receive some sort of refund on their returns. While there are many ways to spend money, I thought that today would be a good day to review my top five dumb ways to spend a tax refund.
Act like it’s free money
The operative word in the term “tax refund” is “refund”! Common synonyms for refund are “repayment,” “reimbursement” and “return of overpayment.” Tax refunds are not free money. The government is not giving you a bonus every year just to thank you for so awesome.
This is money that you’ve allowed them to borrow from you all year long. And now, unlike most of your friends or family members, they are actually paying you back.
People are also reading…
Never mind the fact that you made the loan with NO interest even though you pay them back with interest on your student loans or credit card accounts. Do you really have enough money to lend some to anyone, let alone the government, under those terms?
Smart move: If you routinely get a big tax refund, change your withholding (use this calculator to determine the amount you should be having withheld along with instructions on how to change it). Your goal is to neither owe or to be owed at the end of the year. If you can come within $100 of that goal, you’re golden.
Pay down debt
Before you do that — noble as it may be — you need an emergency fund. If you are not able to fund your own future emergencies, you’ll never get out of debt because you will keep running back to the credit cards for a bailout.
Smart move: Keep making your regular debt payments and use the refund to establish your Emergency Fund. Then keep adding to it until you reach your goal (enough to live for at least three months without a paycheck, or $10,000). Then you’ll be in a beautiful position to rapidly pay down your debt and have confidence that you’ll still keep going when life happens.
Make a down payment
Make a down payment on a car, television, furniture or any other thing that will turn into new monthly payments, also known as debt.
The burning sensation and feeling of prosperity and richness strong-arms people into putting money down on a new car, boat, Disney vacation or what have you. Here’s the thing to remember: After that down payment, you’re still responsible for the pesky monthly payments that stick around much longer.
Even though you’re feeling good right now, remember a tax refund comes but once a year. The joy of getting back your tax overpayment can quickly turn into a nightmare if you’re not careful.
Smart move: Assuming you are prepared for emergencies, use the refund to abolish your bills, not create new ones. Never create ongoing debt with one-time funds.
Indulge in a little retail therapy
There’s no doubt that shopping for new clothes, shoes, electronics or other cool stuff is a great anti-depressant, but it’s dumb. Once that shopper’s high wears off, you’ll be right back where you were — broke but with more stuff.
Smart move: Go for a brisk walk, spend time with your kids, friends and family doing things that won’t cost money. Most every city has a big museum or zoo that’s free on one day each month. Or go on a picnic; take a bike ride; explore your own city by Googling the name of your city plus “free attractions” to find all kinds of things to do for free. You’ll be amazed. And you’ll feel a lot better, too.
Cram it under the mattress
It’s an idea, but not a very good one. Money under the mattress is not earning any interest, and it’s vulnerable to theft and fire. But most of all, it’s vulnerable to you in a weak moment.
Smart move: Open an online savings account at SmartyPig.com, or Ally.com. Deposit your tax refund, then sit back and know it’s safe from you while growing at the same time.
If you do lose your job or have a true financial emergency, you’ll be plenty glad you got smart with this year’s tax refund.

The Azerbaijani Prosecutor General's Office has spread new information on the Tartar case, Trend reports.
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the investigative team headed by the first deputy prosecutor general, resumed criminal proceedings in connection with the illegal actions of some military personnel serving in the military units of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan in Tartar, Aghdam, and Beylagan districts intensively carried out the investigative actions in all spheres since December 16, 2021.
“The criminal proceedings relate to a group of servicemen of the abovementioned and other military units, having no appropriate powers, who violated the requirements of the law of criminal procedure, illegally involved suspected people in interrogation, tortured them, committed inhuman actions, as well as used physical and psychological violence against the victims, which caused death and other grave consequences from May through June 2017,” the Prosecutor General's Office said.
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, as a result of the investigations, 280 more people were detected and recognized as victims and were thoroughly interrogated on all the circumstances of the case, and the forensic medical expertise was carried out.
Thus, 397 victims have been detected in these criminal cases so far, including those detected during the previous investigation into the torture facts, the Prosecutor General's Office explained.

Senate Democrats hit GOP with billboards on Tax Day
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) marked Tax Day on Monday by rolling out billboards in Florida and Wisconsin, hitting Republicans over Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-Fla.) proposed plan to require all Americans to pay at least some income tax.
The billboards, which read “Senate Republicans’ Plan: Raise Your Taxes,” will be deployed in Orlando and Miami, Fla., near the offices of Sens. Rick Scott (R) and Marco Rubio (R), and in Oshkosh, Wis., targeting Sen. Ron Johnson (R). Scott is the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Rubio and Johnson are facing closely watched reelection bids.
“If Senate Republicans have their way, hard-working Americans — including seniors, families with children and individuals making less than $40,000 per year — would all have to pay more when they file their taxes today,” said DSCC spokesperson Nora Keefe.
The Tax Day billboards are the latest moves from the Senate Democrats to needle Scott over his plan, which was released in his personal capacity. Senate Republicans have not released an official agenda.
Scott has faced criticism from both sides of the aisle for proposing to raise taxes.
“We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a statement.
Scott released a statement explaining his reasoning on the tax portion of his plan.
“I went out and made a statement that got me in trouble. I said that all Americans need to have some skin in the game. Even if it is just a few bucks, everyone needs to know what it is like to pay some taxes. It hit a nerve,” he said. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2575712957230/senate-democrats-hit-gop-with-billboards-on-tax-day | 2022-04-19T14:32:51Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2575712957230/senate-democrats-hit-gop-with-billboards-on-tax-day | false | 1 |

Social Security in 2022: Many Americans Feel They’re Lacking Education on It — Here’s a Quick Guide
Social Security, designed to pay retired workers, is a continuing income after retirement and covers about 64 million Americans, according to its website. However, despite how much you hear about Social Security in the news, a new survey finds that 30% of Americans still feel they need more education on the topic.
Social Security Payment Schedule 2022: What Dates To Watch Out For
2022 Stimulus Checks: Is Your State Giving Out Money This Year?
The new GOBankingRates survey finds, interestingly, that the generation saying they need more education about Social Security the most is the 55 to 64 age group, with 40%. This is followed by both the 18 to 24 age group, and the 25 to 34 age group with 34%.
Considering that, on average, Social Security retirement benefits replace 40% of pre-retirement income for retirement beneficiaries, it’s never too early to understand how it works and which special situations you should be aware of.
Dan Demian, financial advice expert at banking app Albert , told GOBankingRates that Social Security is essential to understand, because if you’re not saving for retirement, Social Security payments may be your only source of income once you’ve stopped working and what you earn during your working years affects how much you may get paid in retirement.
“Your social security payment isn’t a sure thing. It depends on several factors, such as your average income, years worked, and the social security trust balance, which may change. So it would be best if you planned to save for your retirement independently,” he said.
If you feel like you’re lacking some knowledge about Social Security, here are some of the most important issues to understand.
POLL: Where Have You Cut Back Most Because of Inflation?
How You Qualify
In order to qualify for Social Security benefits, you need to be 62 or older, or disabled or blind, and “insured” by having enough work credits.
In addition, for applications filed on Dec. 1, 1996, or later, you must either be a U.S. citizen or lawfully present alien in order to receive monthly Social Security benefits, according to the Social Security website.
Americans start their eligibility by working and paying Social Security taxes, either through payroll deductions (required by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or FICA) or through income tax filings if you are self-employed (required by the Self-Employed Contributions Act, or SECA), AARP explains.
You qualify for Social Security by compiling credits when you pay Social Security taxes on your earnings. You can earn up to four credits per year. Workers qualify for Social Security retirement benefits when they reach 40 lifetime credits, AARP adds.
How Much You Get
Social Security benefit payments depend on how much you earned during your working career. Higher lifetime earnings result in higher benefits. If there were some years you didn’t work or had low earnings, your benefit amount may be lower than if you had worked steadily, according to SSA’s Social Security Matters website.
It’s important to know that you can get Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, the benefits will be reduced. When you delay benefits beyond your full retirement age, the amount of your retirement benefit will continue to increase up until age 70.
Special Situations
“It’s not the first thing that will come to mind after a traumatic event, but the death of a spouse (or ex-spouse, or a parent if you are under 18) has implications for when (and for how much) you can claim the survivor benefit,” Jason Vissers, financial analyst, MerchantMaverick.com , told GOBankingRates. “Likewise, if you become disabled or seriously ill and cannot work, you’ll need to become familiar with how SSDI benefits work.”
The SSA explains that widows and widowers may qualify if he or she is:
- Age 60 or older; or
- 50 or older and disabled; or
- Divorced, age 60 or older (age 50 if disabled), and was married to the other person for at least 10 years prior to divorce; or
- Under age 60 and caring for the former couple’s child (under age 16 or disabled prior to age 22) and who is entitled to child’s benefits; or
- Divorced, under age 60 and caring for his or her child (under age 16 or disabled prior to age 22) who is entitled to benefits on the other person’s record
Another potentially confusing scenario is divorce, Ted Rossman, senior industry analyst, CreditCards.com , told GOBankingRates.
“You can potentially claim benefits based upon the working records of an ex-spouse as long as you were married 10 or more years,” he said. “In all cases, it’s important to run the numbers. For example, should you claim based upon your own working record or your spouse’s (or ex-spouse’s)? When should you claim? And so on. It’s a big decision, so don’t be afraid to ask questions and enlist the help of a professional if needed.”
To be eligible for the Social Security’s divorced spouse benefits benefit program, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be at least 62 years old and not currently married
- Be divorced from a person who receives Social Security retirement or disability benefits
- Have been married to that person for at least 10 years before the date the divorce became final
- Not be entitled to an equal or higher retirement or disability benefits
In any case, Rossman said that it’s definitely important to undestand how Social Security works the closer you get to retirement age.
“If you’re currently in your 20s, 30s or even 40s, I wouldn’t put a ton of thought into Social Security because a lot could change between now and when you’re eligible for benefits,” he said. “Once if you’re in your 50s or 60s, though, then it’s very important to understand what Social Security means for you. It’s confusing and I’m not surprised that many people have questions. The more complex your situation, the more you might benefit from a consultation with a financial advisor.”

The local currency devaluation increased freight charges, and rising raw material costs have prompted automakers to increase the prices of their cars. One of the automotive groups may have suggested a solution to this problem.
In his discussion with The Indian Express, the owner of Hyundai Nishat Motors Private Limited (HNMPL), Mian Mohammed Mansha, said that importing car parts from India can prove to be beneficial for the Pakistani car market.
He stated that:
I am a businessman. That’s why I say that if something is cheaper in India, why should I buy that from another country? The transportation cost is less (from India). There are so many products that we could buy. We (the Nishat Group) make Hyundai cars. Hyundai India is very big. We could buy some parts cheaper from India, than buying from China, for example. And you are also trading with China in such a large way. Your imports from China are huge, and if you look at it, you also have issues with China on the issue of territories and all that.
Pakistan had halted trade activities with India in August 2019 after India’s decision to abolish the regulation that granted occupied Kashmir special status. Mansha stated, “I think we need to move ahead on the resolution of the Kashmir issue, we could take small steps. I do think we need to lower the temperature.”
Hyundai in India
Hyundai is among the largest automotive companies in India that manufactures a vast range of fully indigenous vehicles. The company has three manufacturing plants in India that collectively churn out 740,000 cars per year.
Currently, Hyundai Tucson is the only passenger vehicle that both, Hyundai Motor India and HNMPL have in common. The price of Hyundai Tucson in India starts at INR 2.27 million (5.47 million PKR) and goes up to INR 2.74 (6.6 million PKR). Although Tucson’s price in Pakistan is less than that in India, the latter has more variants and each variant has better features.
Pakistani Auto Policy
Pakistan’s latest auto policy encourages automakers to move towards local manufacturing of vehicles. It seeks to create a fully indigenous automotive industry like that in India, so as to reduce import bills and bolster the local industry.
Automakers are still relying on Completely Knocked Down (CKD ) kits imported from overseas to carry out local assembly of their vehicles. Such a business model is more prone to feel the heat of logistical costs and turbulent local currency.
With the recent views of its owner, it seems that HNMPL is far from willing to pursue local car production in Pakistan. | https://propakistani.pk/2022/04/19/hyundai-nishat-owner-wants-to-import-car-parts-from-india/ | 2022-04-19T14:43:16Z | https://propakistani.pk/2022/04/19/hyundai-nishat-owner-wants-to-import-car-parts-from-india/ | true | 2 |

The country’s primary teachers are calling for concerted action to cut class sizes in the Republic of Ireland which are the largest in the European Union.
A motion passed at the INTO Annual Congress in Killarney today demanded “a reduction in the staffing schedule to the European Union average of 20 pupils to one mainstream classroom teacher in all non-DEIS primary schools.”
The motion also said that any reduction to the staffing schedule should be applied pro-rata to all DEIS primary schools.
The Department of Education recently announced a new staffing schedule which will see average class sizes reduce from next September to a ratio of 24:1 in mainstream classes with lower thresholds for DEIS Band 1 schools.
However, this still leaves the Republic of Ireland at the bottom of the table compared the rest of the European Union where the average class size of is 20 pupils per teacher.
Michael McConigley of Sligo branch, proposing the motion at Congress 2022, said:
“Teachers need to identify the specific strengths, interests and needs that each student may have to be effective. In large classes, this may be a challenge for educators. Not because their teaching strategy may be wrong, but because they don’t have the resources and time to do so.
“We have highly diverse classrooms that can include children with special educational needs, children with English as an additional language, children from backgrounds of disadvantage, children of different ethnic backgrounds and so on. Many of these children are in classrooms of 28, 29 and 30 plus pupils.
“We might have the lowest class size in the history of the state but we are far behind our colleagues in Europe. Despite the improvements, the OECD Education at a Glance report 2022 confirms that Ireland’s supersized classes remain the largest in the EU.
“Currently, the average class size of 24 (23 from September) in Irish primary schools is the highest among the EU where average class sizes are four pupils lower than in Ireland.”

DEAR READERS: Wishing you and your families a very happy Easter and Passover week. Spring is a time to get outdoors and play. It is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts. It is a time when the flowers begin to bloom and kittens are born. Below are some of my favorite poems about spring and joy and the innocence and beauty of childhood.
“Spring” by William Blake“Sound the flute! / Now it’s mute! / Bird’s delight, / Day and night, / Nightingale, / In the dale, / Lark in sky, — / Merrily, / Merrily merrily, to welcome in the year. / Little boy, / Full of joy; / Little girl, / Sweet and small; / Cock does crow, / So do you; / Merry voice, / Infant noise; / Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year. / Little lamb, / Here I am; / Come and lick / My white neck; / Let me pull / Your soft wool; / Let me kiss / Your soft face; / Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.”
“Infant Joy” by William Blake“I have no name / I am but two days old. — / What shall I call thee? / I happy am / Joy is my name, — / Sweet joy befall thee! / Pretty joy! / Sweet joy but two days old, / Sweet joy I call thee; / Thou dost smile. / I sing the while / Sweet joy befall thee.”
“Lines Written in Early Spring” by William Wordsworth“I heard a thousand blended notes, / While in a grove I sate reclined, / In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts / Bring sad thoughts to the mind. / To her fair works did Nature link / The human soul that through me ran; / And much it grieved my heart to think / What man has made of man. / Through primrose tufts, in that green bower, / The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; / And ’tis my faith that every flowerEnjoys the air it breathes. / The birds around me hopped and played, / Their thoughts I cannot measure: — / But the least motion which they made / It seemed a thrill of pleasure. / The budding twigs spread out their fan, / To catch the breezy air; / And I must think, do all I can, / That there was pleasure there. / If this belief from heaven be sent, / If such be Nature’s holy plan, / Have I not reason to lament / What man has made of man?
“The World-Soul” by Ralph Waldo Emerson“Spring still makes spring in the mind / When sixty years are told: / Love wakes anew this throbbing heart, / And we are never old / Over the winter glaciers / I see the summer glow / And through the wind-piled snowdrift / The warm rosebuds below.”
“Easter Bunny” by Leanne Guenther“With a hip and a hop — / Easter bunny won’t you stop, / At my house to hide some yummy little eggs. / Then you’ll jump out and run — / Down the street for some fun, / Zippity quick on your fuzzy, furry legs. / To hide treats for the others — / Boys and girls — even mothers, / Treats galore packed in baskets and bright bags!”

Oh hey there, my beautiful, abundant Unbothered fam!
It has been almost five years since our foresisters founded Unbothered. Back then, it was simply an answer to the question: Why isn’t there a space for young, dope Black folx to just be ourselves, out loud and on purpose? It was a time when we weren’t seeing ourselves represented at work or in the media we were consuming. And neither were our peers. Beyond that, we also weren’t being heard out in the world. So, we created Unbothered, because y’all asked for it, and because we needed it.
We saw an opportunity in the market because we know the power of our influence, our dollars, and our dreams, but more than anything, Unbothered was created as an outlet for each other.
Advertisement
We deserved — and still do — a safe space for us to just be. We wanted a platform to talk about the things that came up in our group chat, to unpack the wild text from your friend or that unbelievable scene from Insecure. We were out here ready to share the latest products, tools, and affirmations that helped us move through the world a little bit easier, and to support each other when it seemed like the rest of the world worked overtime to make that impossible. To just be that homegirl in your head when you needed us.
And now, we’re here – five years later, all glowed and grown up. With the support of my amazing team, and all the fantastic Black folx who’ve come before us (shout out to Ally Hickson, THEE Unbothered founder, Danielle Cadet, our once and forever Unbothered editorial lead, and the whole OG Unbothered crew), we’ve made sure our dream for Unbothered became a reality that still thrives today. We’re a lot bigger, a hell of a lot more grown, and hugely proud of the energy we’ve cultivated. And we’re even more grateful for the energy y’all have given US.
Now, we want to celebrate that energy with you, our Unbothered family. And what better way to big up each other than with a Juneteenth blowout weekend AKA Unbothered Live: The Glow Up in Atlanta, June 18-19!

Yes you heard that right! Unbothered is bringing that same energy you love with the vibes you’ve come to expect from us for our first-ever live event: The Glow Up! The pandemic has kept us stuck in the house for two years, and now that we’re venturing outside (again), we’re giving you and your crew the link up you’ve been waiting for.
And we’re doing it in Atlanta because you know we had to keep it all the way Black. Atlanta is a place that combines the legacy of our past with the vision of our future greatness. Where else can you get Usher skating to his own songs in a rink, a TikTok collab house, 26 inches of natural kinky on demand, and a near life size model of the White House on a set? Atlanta is THAT girl, and we’re gonna show up for her together.
And because it’s Unbothered, you know it’s absolutely going to be a SHOW. We’re bringing your favorite franchises together with our fave voices to bring a new glow to Atlanta.
Dear Black Love, Go Off Sis, Wash Day, and more will all come alive in amazing ways. And because you know we’re doing it the ATL way, we’ll also be premiering fun, new activations and interactive elements along the way including: a Glow and Roll skating rink to do your best Beyoncé Blow video impression, a Fill Your Plate food court to live out your Juneteenth summer cookout goals, a dedicated My Coin marketplace to discover and support Black-owned businesses — and that’s just to start! Expect two full days worth of programming, together with live music, dope talent, and just pure vibes with the crew.
We’re outside this summer and you’re gonna be sick of us. Better yet, get ready to glow up with us! Early bird tickets go on sale today HERE. We’re giving our Unbothered family first dibs, so get them while you can!

Moderna hopes to offer updated COVID-19 boosters in the fall that combine its original vaccine with protection against the omicron variant. On Tuesday, it reported a preliminary hint that such an approach might work.
Today’s COVID-19 vaccines all are based on the original version of the coronavirus. But the virus continues to mutate, with the super-contagious omicron variant — and its siblings — the latest threat.
Before omicron came along, Moderna was studying a combination shot that added protection against an earlier variant named beta. Tuesday, the company said people given that beta-original vaccine combination produced more antibodies capable of fighting several variants — including omicron — than today’s regular booster triggers.
While the antibody increase was modest, Moderna’s goal is to produce a combination shot that specifically targets omicron. “These results really give us hope” that next step will work even better, said Dr. Jacqueline Miller, a Moderna vice president.
Tuesday’s data was reported online and hasn’t been vetted by independent experts.
COVID-19 vaccines still are providing strong protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death, even against omicron. That variant is so different from the original coronavirus that it more easily slips past the immune system’s defenses, although studies in the U.S. and elsewhere show an original booster dose strengthens protection. Some countries offer particularly vulnerable people a second booster; in the U.S., that’s anyone 50 or older or those with a severely weakened immune system.
Health officials have made clear that giving boosters every few months isn’t the answer to the mutating virus. They’ve begun deliberating how to decide if and when to change the vaccine recipe.
Just switching to a vaccine that targets the latest variant is risky, because the virus could mutate again. So Moderna and its rival Pfizer both are testing what scientists call “bivalent” shots — a mix of each company’s original vaccine and an omicron-targeted version.
Why would Moderna’s earlier, beta-targeted combo shot have any effect on omicron? It includes four mutations that both the beta variant and the newer omicron have in common, Miller said.
Now Moderna is testing a bivalent shot that better targets omicron — it includes 32 of that variant’s mutations. Studies of two booster doses are underway in the U.S. and Britain; results are expected by late June. | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/coronavirus/moderna-announces-step-toward-updating-covid-shots-for-fall/ | 2022-04-19T15:12:19Z | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/coronavirus/moderna-announces-step-toward-updating-covid-shots-for-fall/ | true | 50 |

Which jumbo fidget popper is best?
From tapping your fingers to shaking your foot, both kids and adults experience fidgeting every now and then. Along with fidget spinners, cubes and straws, fidget poppers are the newest gadget to help funnel that extra energy.
While fidget poppers come in all shapes and sizes, jumbo fidget poppers are even bigger and better. The Puwan 484-Bubble Jumbo Fidget Popper has over 480 bubbles, making it ideal for families and fidget popper enthusiasts.
What to know before you buy a jumbo fidget popper
Ways to use a jumbo fidget popper
Family game night
A jumbo fidget popper is a great gadget that can bring the whole family together. First, gather your family or friends along with your jumbo fidget popper and one die. Then, each person takes their turn rolling the die and popping the corresponding amount of bubbles. The person to pop the last bubble loses and sits out the next game. Keep playing until only the winner remains.
Education
Addition, subtraction and multiplication are fun with a jumbo fidget popper. Plus, unlike smaller fidget poppers, older kids who are learning larger numbers can also benefit from learning. You can also write letters on a jumbo fidget popper to spell words. Other educational activities include syllable counting, odd and even number counting or word unscrambling.
By yourself
While a jumbo fidget popper can be used by multiple people at once, it’s still a great toy to use while you’re alone. If you need a calming environment, many enjoy popping the bubbles and listening to the sound. Those who want to play a game can time themselves and see how fast they can pop all the bubbles.
Benefits of a jumbo fidget popper
Fidget poppers are proven to have a plethora of benefits. While we all fidget to release excess energy, some may benefit from a fidget popper to redirect energy into productive actions. For example, instead of shifting back and forth in your chair or playing with your hair, a fidget popper can be used as a self-regulation gadget to learn or accomplish a task.
Many people with ADHD, ADD, OCD, autism or sensory disorders can benefit from a fidget popper, along with those who experience stress or anxiety. This gadget can distract the user from that primary emotion and provide a calming effect.
What to look for in a quality jumbo fidget popper

Fidget poppers come in various sizes from miniature keychain fidget poppers to jumbo fidget poppers and everywhere in between. The average handheld fidget popper has less than 50 bubbles, while midsized fidget poppers have around 100 bubbles. If you’re looking for a jumbo fidget popper, they generally have between 100 and 500 bubbles. While it’s not common, you could find a fidget popper with up to 1,000 bubbles.
Material
Most fidget poppers are made using either 100% silicone or a mixture of silicone and plastic. It’s essential to ensure that your fidget popper is non-toxic and safe to handle.
Color and design
Whether you enjoy video games or like rainbow colors, fidget poppers are made to suit every person and hobby. Jumbo fidget poppers aren’t as common as hand-held or midsized fidget poppers, and the most common shape is a square. That said, you can still find a variety of design and color options.
How much you can expect to spend on a jumbo fidget poppers
The price of a jumbo fidget popper is based primarily on size or design and can range between $10-$50.

A. If your jumbo fidget popper is made with 100% silicone like most fidget popper toys, it is safe to use in the water. However, be sure to completely dry the bubbles, as they are still susceptible to mold and bacteria.
Can my child bring their jumbo fidget popper to school?
A. The best way to know whether your child can bring their jumbo fidget popper to school is to check with your child’s teacher or principal. While some schools do not allow fidget poppers, others may use them for learning games or allow them during free time. Although a regular-sized fidget popper may be better suited for school than a jumbo fidget popper, some jumbo fidget poppers may not fit inside of a backpack.

House prices: The 15 most expensive areas to buy a home in the UK outside London
HOUSE prices across the UK have skyrocketed throughout the coronavirus pandemic, and prices are continuing to rise despite the hefty cost of living crisis. Zoopla has revealed the most expensive property hotspots to buy in the UK. Do you live in one?
House prices: Expert discusses 'interesting' pricing differences
Zoopla has now revealed the most expensive towns to buy in outside of London - so if you’ve got a few million to spare, you might want to consider buying a home in one of the following much-desired areas.
The housing market has gone from strength to strength despite years of economic difficulty for the UK - and homebuyers are largely undeterred from securing their dream home, particularly in the most desirable areas of the UK
Director of Henry Dannell, Geoff Garrett, told Express.co.uk: “Despite a string of interest rate increases and the inevitable impact this has had on monthly mortgage costs, the nation’s homebuyers are seemingly undeterred and continue to flood the market at mass.
“However, the general consensus is that this squeeze on mortgage affordability coupled with the increase in living costs will start to cool the current rate of house price growth as the year goes on.
“While this may not be substantial enough to reverse the upward house price trends being seen at present, it’s almost certainly going to slow what have been some meteoric rises in recent months.”

1. Virginia Water, Surrey
A charming commuter town for the capital remains the highest value place to live, according to Zoopla.
Your average home will set you back £1.6 million, but some streets could see you paying as much as £6.7 million.
2. Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire
Set in the Chiltern Hills, the picturesque town of Beaconsfield has an appealing blend of Tudor and Georgian homes.
But it comes at a price - the average home in Beaconsfield will set you back just short of £1.2 million.
3. Cobham, Surrey
Just outside of Guildford, Cobham is a quiet town set around a red brick water mill - and is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK.
A home in Cobham will cost you an average of £1.2 million.
4. Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire
Chalfont St Giles is more remote than other towns in Zoopla’s top five most expensive property hotspots, but it certainly adds to the charm of this well-known haven.
The average price of a detached home in Chalfont St Giles is £1.2 million, according to Zoopla.
5. Esher, Surrey
With close proximity to London and surrounding woodland and National Trust sites, its no wonder Esher has made it into the top five.
The average sold price of a home in Esher is around £1 million.

By SONIA PÉREZ D.
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Once the envy of Central America for anticorruption efforts that took down a sitting president, Guatemala’s attorney general’s office in recent years has been accused of blocking corruption investigations, protecting powerful interests and even persecuting those who pursue the corrupt.
Consuelo Porras, who has led the office for the past four years, dismisses the accusations and dodges questions with legal jargon and recitations of the law. President Alejandro Giammattei defends her before Guatemalans, international organizations and the U.S. government, which suspended cooperation with her office last year and yanked her visa.
In the coming days, Giammattei must choose Guatemala’s next attorney general, a closely watched decision that observers say gives him an opportunity to reanimate the country’s stalled fight against corruption. But Porras, 68, is seeking a second term, one of 15 candidates for the post.
Her path to a second term is not completely clear despite her friendship with Giammattei. Among the other candidates is Guatemala’s solicitor general Luis Donado, who is also close to Giammattei.
Porras’ appointment in 2018 by then-President Jimmy Morales proved to be an inflection point in her country’s battle against corruption.
She had large shoes to fill. She followed Thelma Aldana, who had pressed a number of high-profile corruption investigations including ones against Morales while he was president and some of his relatives and associates.
Aldana had already made a name for herself by jailing former President Otto Pérez Molina, his vice president and Cabinet members, after perhaps the most high-profile of dozens of probes. Aldana received asylum in the United States in 2020.
Aldana’s success against Guatemala’s systemic corruption had come in conjunction with the United Nations-backed anticorruption mission, known by its Spanish initials CICIG. Over 12 years, the mission supported the Special Prosecutors Office Against Impunity in dismantling dozens of criminal networks while at the same time building their capacity to handle complex corruption cases.
In August 2019, a bit more than a year after Porras’ appointment, Morales ended the CICIG’s mission while he was under investigation. Porras, at least publicly, did not push back in defense of the mission.
Porras, who came to the office with a background in constitutional law and as an appellate judge, initially spoke glowingly of the accomplishment’s of her office’s anticorruption work, but the people leading those efforts saw little interest on her part.
When she took office, Porras delayed meeting with Iván Velásquez, a Colombian lawyer and the CICIG’s last chief. She did anything to avoid a conversation, he said. “That was already a very bad sign.”
Her lack of experience in prosecuting corruption cases and apparent disinterest made her seem an odd fit, Velásquez said.
“Not only for her personality, but rather for her inability, including to directly confront someone,” he said. “I believe that with Morales it was total submission.”
As investigations began to near Giammattei and his associates, Porras moved from disinterest to obstruction. Prosecutors and others who had worked closely with the CICIG became targets themselves.
During her term, nearly 20 prosecutors, judges and magistrates have gone into exile, fearful they will be prosecuted in retaliation for their work on corruption cases.
Asked by a reporter this month if she is protecting the president from investigation, Porras said, “we are all subjected to the knowledge of the law; I can’t protect anyone.”
Last year, she fired Juan Francisco Sandoval, who led the Special Prosecutors Office Against Impunity and who had been applauded for his work.
Sandoval fled Guatemala under cover of darkness to neighboring El Salvador just hours after his removal. Porras had vaguely accused him of “abuses” without giving details.
Sandoval said he was fired because of his investigations into top officials in Giammattei’s administration.
The U.S. government protested publicly, labelled Porras an undemocratic actor undermining efforts against corruption and pulled her visa. A State Department official said at the time that Sandoval’s removal “contributes to the perception that there is a systematic effort in Guatemala to weaken those who fight against corruption.”
Giammattei defended Porras, saying the U.S. reaction showed a “lack of respect.”
Sandoval said she wanted him out of his office. When he used to meet with Porras in her office, she would take his cellphone to ensure that he didn’t record whatever she asked him, he said.
Velásquez, the former CICIG chief, said, “She distrusted prosecutor Sandoval, but even more she was jealous of (his office’s) work because it stood out.”
The U.S. has repeatedly made Giammattei’s selection of her replacement an issue.
Mario Búcaro, Guatemala’s foreign affairs minister, declined to speak about specific U.S. petitions, but confirmed that the issue of the new top prosecutor has come up in meetings with U.S. officials.
In February, during a meeting with evangelical pastors, Giammattei alluded to pressure coming from abroad ahead of his pick. “While I’m president this country’s sovereignty will be respected,” Giammattei said.
Human Rights Watch said in a statement last week that Porras had “undermined investigations into corruption and human rights abuses, and brought arbitrary criminal proceedings against journalists, judges, and prosecutors.”
“Consuelo Porras’ tenure as an attorney general has been a disgrace for the rule of law in Guatemala,” said Tamara Taraciuk Broner, the organization’s acting Americas director. “Her successor could play a pivotal role in defending democratic institutions – or deliver the final blow that spells their demise.”
Poor farmers, lawyers, Indigenous activists, pastors, human rights defenders and university students have marched demanding Porras’ departure.
Last year, while Porras was teaching a virtual class in the economics department of a public university, a student questioned her office’s performance. Then more students chime in and by the end there are shouts of “corrupt!” A video of it went viral and Porras stopped teaching.
A fervent Roman Catholic, Porras has a tiny crucifix dangling from a rosary around her wrist.
People who have worked with her say she is a technophobe. She had staff print out memes about her so she could see what was being said. Public criticism of her work bothers her immensely, especially when it comes from the Catholic Church, which has criticized her office’s pursuit of prosecutors and judges involved in anticorruption efforts.
Porras touts the more than 60 accused drug traffickers extradited to the United States under her watch. She also cites the nearly 2 million cases resolved during her term, though most were simply closed.
Porras is very proud of her doctorate in law, so she was compelled to respond when academic Marco Fonseca said his analysis of her doctoral thesis showed that she had plagiarized part of it. Fonseca looked into it when he heard that she had completed her doctorate in only one year.
“She had literally copied entire chapters from the thesis of Ramiro Choc, including part of the title,” Fonseca said. Choc is deceased.
Porras has not denied plagiarizing Choc’s work but has said the university reviewed her thesis and determined it “met all of the requirements.”
While Porras interviewed with the committee that will give Giammattei a list of six recommended candidates to be Guatemala’s next top prosecutor, the plagiarism issue resurfaced.
Porras sent a letter to the committee warning them that if they took up the accusation against her they would be stepping into an issue that corresponds to the university and if they do so they could face “administrative and penal sanctions.”
Late Monday, the committee gave Porras its highest rating of the 12 candidates it had so far evaluated. | https://www.timesleader.com/wire/nation-world/1551362/guatemalas-much-criticized-top-prosecutor-seeks-2nd-term | 2022-04-19T15:30:38Z | https://www.timesleader.com/wire/nation-world/1551362/guatemalas-much-criticized-top-prosecutor-seeks-2nd-term | true | 42 |

Why Inflation Could Suit Advanced Auto Parts and Other Parts Retailers
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Earnings season has begun in earnest, and auto-parts retailers will soon start to report results. Raymond James argues that the sector looks well placed going into quarterly earnings, and beyond.
Analyst Bobby Griffin kept his first-quarter estimates for the group intact, although he modestly lowered his expectations for the second and third quarters to account for high gas prices, which could weigh on consumer driving habits. That said, he notes that overall investor sentiment remains positive on the stocks, given that management... | https://www.barrons.com/articles/inflation-auto-parts-51650379011 | 2022-04-19T15:35:54Z | https://www.barrons.com/articles/inflation-auto-parts-51650379011 | true | null |

J&J said at the time it was projecting sales of $3 billion to $3.5 billion in 2022 for its Covid shot, much less than the $32 billion forecast by Pfizer for the same period. Photograph:( Reuters )
J&J's vaccine was initially praised because it could be stored at fridge temperature and offered good efficacy against earlier strains of the coronavirus after just one shot
Johnson & Johnson suspended sales forecasts for its Covid-19 vaccine during the American pharmaceutical giant's quarterly earnings call Tuesday, as demand lags behind that of shots by Moderna and Pfizer.
"Given global supply surplus and demand uncertainty, the Company is suspending COVID-19 Vaccine sales guidance," J&J said in a statement, adding that the move will have "no impact to adjusted operational earnings per share."
The company's chief executive Joaquin Duato said the first quarter results, in which estimated reported sales excluding Covid-19 vaccine sales figures were up 3.8 to 4.8 percent over the same period one year ago, "demonstrate strong performance across the enterprise, despite macro-economic headwinds."

On Wall Street, J&J's stock was down 0.4 to $177 in electronic trading before the New York Stock Exchange opening bell.
Back in February The New York Times reported that Johnson & Johnson had temporarily suspended production at a key plant manufacturing its Covid-19 vaccine, although the company stressed it was still fulfilling its delivery commitments.
J&J said at the time it was projecting sales of $3 billion to $3.5 billion in 2022 for its Covid shot, much less than the $32 billion forecast by Pfizer for the same period.

A US government-appointed panel of medical experts on Thursday unanimously recommended mRNA Covid vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna over J&J's shot.
J&J's vaccine was initially praised because it could be stored at fridge temperature and offered good efficacy against earlier strains of the coronavirus after just one shot.
But evidence later emerged linking it to a rare form of clotting, particularly among women of child-bearing age, causing authorities to briefly halt and then resume its use in April last year. | https://www.wionews.com/world/johnson-johnson-suspends-sales-forecast-for-covid-vaccine-472181 | 2022-04-19T15:38:28Z | https://www.wionews.com/world/johnson-johnson-suspends-sales-forecast-for-covid-vaccine-472181 | false | 3 |

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Declaring a national state of disaster, South Africa has allocated $67 million to help those hit by floods that have killed at least 443 people in the eastern city of Durban and the surrounding Kwazulu-Natal province.
Nearly 4,000 homes have been destroyed and more than 40,000 people displaced by the floods caused by prolonged heavy rains, provincial officials said Tuesday. More than 400 people remain missing and about 600 schools have been hit with damages estimated at about $28 million, according to officials.
South Africa's military has deployed 10,000 troops in Operation Chariot to deliver food, water, and clothing to flood victims, help with search and rescue efforts, and rebuild collapsed roads and bridges. Water tankers have been sent to areas where access to clean water has been disrupted and teams are working to restore electricity to large areas.
Visiting some of the flooded areas last week, South African President Cyril Ramophosa blamed climate change for the unprecedented rains, the heaviest in at least 60 years. Announcing the state of disaster in a televised address Monday night, Ramaphosa pledged that government funds for the flood victims will not be lost to corruption.
“There can be no room for corruption, mismanagement or fraud of any sort," said Ramaphosa.
“Learning from the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are drawing together various stakeholders to be part of an oversight structure to ensure all funds disbursed to respond to this disaster are properly accounted for and that the state receives value for money,” he said.
Ramaphosa's remarks come after widespread graft was uncovered by the state’s Special Investigating Unit in state funds that were supposed to help the nation respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize resigned after the investigation found that businesses linked to his family benefited from inflated COVID-19 contracts from his department.
Despite Ramaphosa's pledge, many South Africans are skeptical that government funds for flood relief will not be diverted by corruption. Several businesses, prominent South Africans and charities have pledged money to private organizations.
South African businessman Patrice Motsepe, Ramaphosa's brother-in-law, has made one of the biggest donations pledging about $2 million to Gift of the Givers, a South African-based disaster relief organization. The University of Johannesburg said it will also donate funds directly to Gift of the Givers.
South African-born Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has also appealed for funds for flood relief through her Africa Outreach Project.
South Africa had been in a national state of disaster over COVID-19 since March 2020 until it was lifted two weeks ago, but it has now been reinstated in response to the Durban floods. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/South-Africa-launches-relief-for-Durban-flooding-17090494.php | 2022-04-19T15:45:42Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/South-Africa-launches-relief-for-Durban-flooding-17090494.php | true | 27 |

The youngest kid in the competition decided to run at his own pace but the most important thing is that he managed to complete the race.
The video is both hilarious and educative.
A social media user shared the video and captioned it, “Run your own race. Don’t compete,”.

KABUL, Afghanstan (AP) — Explosions targeting educational institutions killed at least six people, including students, and injured 17 Tuesday in a mostly Shiite neighborhood of Afghanistan’s capital city, police said.
The blasts, which occurred in rapid succession, were being investigated and more casualties were feared, according to Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran and the city’s Emergency Hospital. Several of the wounded were in serious condition and some had been treated and released.
The explosions occurred inside the Abdul Rahim Shaheed High School and near the Mumtaz Education Center several kilometers (miles) away, both in the predominately Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Dasht-e-Barchi. There were no immediate reports of casualties at the Mumtaz Center.
Guards in the narrow street leading to the two-story high school said they saw 10 casualties. Inside the school, an Associated Press video journalist saw walls splattered with blood, burned notebooks and children’s shoes.
The AP spoke to several private guards in the area but they refused to give their names, fearing repercussions from the Taliban security force cordoning off the area.
It appeared a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the sprawling compound, which can house up to 1,000 students, witnesses said. It wasn’t immediately clear how many children were in the school at the time of the explosion.
The school is teaching students only until the sixth grade after Afghanistan’s hardline Taliban rulers went back on a promise to allow all girls to attend school.
No one has immediately claimed responsibility. The area has been targeted in the past by Afghanistan’s deadly Islamic State affiliate, which reviles Shiite Muslims as heretics.
Save the Children in Afghanistan issued a statement “strongly condemning ” the attack and saying “no school should be deliberately targeted, and no child should fear physical harm at or on the way to school. “
The Islamic State affiliate known as IS in Khorasan Province, or IS-K, has previously targeted schools particularly in the Shiite dominated Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood. In May last year, months before the Taliban took power in Kabul more than 60 children, mostly girls, were killed when two bombs were detonated outside their school, also in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood.
IS has presented the biggest security challenge to the country’s Taliban rulers, who swept into Kabul last August as the United States ended its 20-year war.

Motherwell chief executive Alan Burrows believes it's 'sensible' to help Scottish clubs in Europe as their match with Rangers is moved forward 24 hours.
The first post-split Premiership fixture for the Steelmen was supposed to be on Sunday, but the champions made a request to the SPFL for this to move.
Sky Sports, Police Scotland and the Fir Park club have now all agreed to shift it forward to Saturday.
Rangers take on RB Leipzig a week on Thursday in their Europa League first leg semi-final.
Motherwell's chief executive supports the call but has apologised for the length of time its taken.
Burrows said: “Based on significant feedback over the years, we believe most of our fans would rather watch a match on a Saturday rather than a Sunday.
"With our only other home fixture after the split being a Wednesday night, that was at the forefront of our thinking.
“In addition, the club believe it sensible to support all Scottish clubs playing in European matches.
“That being said, we would like to sincerely apologise for the length of time taken to make this call and the subsequent lack of notice of the change, which has been largely out with our control.
"We were initially approached on Good Friday, but we were only given confirmation of the change at 3:10pm today (Tuesday 19th).”

In March 2020, Dr. Joseph Vinetz left the contemplative world of his Yale University infectious-disease laboratory and plunged into the covid ward at Yale New Haven Hospital, joining an army of health care workers who struggled to treat the deadly viral disease.
There were no drugs against covid-19, and no way to predict which infected patients would develop pneumonia or fall into an inflammatory tailspin leading to severe illness or death. In desperation, Vinetz and countless other doctor-scientists trawled the literature for existing medicines that might help.
“We were in the hospital. We had nothing,” Vinetz said. “I was one of tens of thousands of doctors around the world who said, ‘We gotta figure out what to do.’”
On April 16, 2020, Vinetz saw an article in the journal Cell about a drug called camostat, licensed in Japan in 1985 to treat inflammation of the pancreas. Research during the first SARS epidemic, in 2004, had shown the drug had a plausible biochemical mechanism for slowing coronavirus infections, so Vinetz and his colleagues quickly organized a small clinical trial on outpatients with mild to moderate symptoms.
In those days, before covid vaccines and covid-specific treatments appeared on the market, Vinetz’s experiment was one of thousands conducted by doctors who hoped older vaccines and drugs, usually cheap and off-patent, might provide them with options.
Mostly, the drugs were too toxic or had no clear effect. Of the more than 1,500 trials for potential covid drugs listed on the website of the National Institutes of Health — including antivirals, anti-inflammatories, and drugs used for cancer, asthma, heart disease, and dozens of other conditions — few have produced helpful medicines.
In fact, only one older drug is routinely used to fight covid. That’s the steroid dexamethasone, proven by British scientists to help keep hospitalized patients from requiring supplemental oxygen or intubation.
Drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin showed hints of value initially but failed in clinical trials — only to remain in circulation, at least partly because their use symbolized affinity in the culture war for some of President Donald Trump’s followers.
A few old drugs still show promise, but they’ve had trouble getting traction. The ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine fiascoes soured doctors on repurposed medications, and the pharmaceutical industry has shown little interest in testing them, especially when it can earn billions from even mediocre new ones, scientists tracking the field say.
American and European scientists have confirmed the theoretical basis for camostat’s impact on covid. But evidence for its effects is weak; last year the drug was dropped from a big NIH trial comparing various treatments.
A more promising story emerged with fluvoxamine, licensed under the brand name Luvox in 1994 to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. The drug is in the same class as common antidepressants such as Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft.
A child psychiatrist noticed fluvoxamine might be good for covid. In March 2020, while recovering from a bout of covid, Dr. Angela Reiersen of Washington University in St. Louis saw a 2019 study in mice that showed how fluvoxamine could activate a protein similar to one missing in patients with Wolfram syndrome, a genetic disease that causes diabetes, neurological issues, and, eventually, death.
Reiersen and her colleague Dr. Eric Lenze, a geriatric psychiatrist, began a clinical trial of the drug in people with symptoms of covid. Of the 80 in the fluvoxamine group, none suffered a serious decline, while six of 72 patients given sugar pills got pneumonia, and four were hospitalized.
In a follow-up 1,500-patient trial in Brazil, people who took at least 80% of their fluvoxamine pills were 66% less likely to require emergency care or hospitalization than those who got sugar pills. Only one died, compared with 11 in the placebo group.
Since October, when the Brazilian study was published, fluvoxamine’s future has dimmed. Neither the NIH nor the Infectious Diseases Society of America recommends fluvoxamine to prevent respiratory distress. The NIH panelists noted that the better outcomes in the Brazilian trial were only statistically significant among those who remained in the trial. (Because of nausea and other side effects, only 74% of trial participants in the fluvoxamine wing took all their pills, compared with 82% in the placebo wing.)
The NIH panel also was put off by the fact that the Brazilian trial counted hospitalizations as well as people put under a doctor’s care for six hours or more — not a standard measure. Trial organizers said that was necessary because Brazilian hospitals were so packed with covid patients that many people got their care in makeshift outdoor shelters.
Regulators and experts are awaiting results from two other big trials, one organized by a consortium of universities and hospitals, the other by the NIH. But both studies are using doses of 100 milligrams of fluvoxamine a day, compared with 200 or 300 milligrams in the successful trials.
“I have concerns that they are not using a high-enough dose,” Reiersen said, given that fluvoxamine operates on a different biochemical pathway to fight covid than the one involved in psychiatric treatment.
The concern is shared by Craig Rayner, a former drug company scientist who worked on the Brazilian trial and other big tests of repurposed drugs. “You can do the largest, most well-funded study in the world,” he said, “but if you choose the wrong dose, it’s rubbish in, rubbish out.”
The team overseeing NIH’s trial opted for a lower dose because higher doses had already been used in the earlier trials — and often caused side effects, said Sarah Dunsmore, a program director at NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.
On Dec. 21, David Boulware, a University of Minnesota infectious-disease expert, petitioned the FDA to approve a change in fluvoxamine’s label stating it can be used to prevent respiratory distress in at-risk patients with mild to moderate covid. He hasn’t received a response yet.
It’s a different story for big drug companies. Two days after Boulware’s submission, FDA authorized Merck to market its drug molnupiravir, which in its clinical trial showed about as much effectiveness as fluvoxamine, and also had side effects like nausea and dizziness. Fluvoxamine also can cause insomnia and anxiety; molnupiravir is not recommended for pregnant women or anyone, male or female, having unprotected sex, because it caused genetic and fetal damage in test animals.
Still, federal guidelines recommend molnupiravir in certain settings, and the government has bought more than 3 million doses for about $2.2 billion, or $733 per dose. Fluvoxamine, a generic, goes for less than $5 a pill.
“You hate to say that Big Pharma has a lot of influence, but clearly they do,” Boulware said. “The molnupiravir data was not that great, but we’re spending billions on the drug and it got fast-track emergency use authorization” while fluvoxamine remains in a gray area.
With the arrival of effective vaccines and the trickle of antiviral treatments, the urgency of rehabilitating old drugs for U.S. patients has ebbed. But the need remains high in lower- and middle-income countries where vaccines and new covid treatments remain unavailable.
It’s not rare for a pharmaceutical company to synthesize or study a drug for one purpose, only to discover it works better for something else. The classic instance is sildenafil, or Viagra, which was being developed as a drug for hypertension when scientists noticed a remarkable side effect. Remdesivir, now a front-line drug against covid, was aimed at treating Ebola.
It’s less common for a drug marketed for one use to acquire an entirely different purpose, but the pandemic drove scientists to try. They tested thousands of compounds in petri dishes for their virus-killing power, but the journey from test tube to human remedy is long, said Rayner, who is also a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
If fluvoxamine were a new drug, the company sponsoring it would have spent the money needed to get the drug approved and to show the FDA it has the means to monitor the drug’s safety and efficacy. Since it’s an old drug, it will be up to independent scientists, or perhaps a reluctant generics manufacturer, to sponsor safety monitoring should the FDA provide an emergency use authorization, Rayner said.
An EUA or approval “comes with strings. You have to continue to monitor the safety, to make sure no signals pop up when you move it from thousands to millions of patients,” he said. “That’s very expensive.”
U.S. physicians can prescribe drugs off label, but most are leery of doing so until a drug has won approval for the new use. That’s especially true now.
Definitive answers on some repurposed drugs were slow in coming because there were too many small, poorly designed studies by “every man and his dog,” Rayner said. He calculates up to $5.6 billion has been wasted on hydroxychloroquine clinical trials alone.
A recent World Health Organization resolution called for better coordination and information-sharing among those organizing trials so that definitive answers can be obtained quickly with big pots of data.
As for camostat, Vinetz said those who took the drug felt better than those who got a placebo. “It basically prevented loss of smell and taste, which people really bitterly care about,” he said. “That means there’s a real biological effect. That merits further exploration.”
But will that happen? Vinetz’s team has sought publication of their research for five months with no success. He’d like to see whether camostat can prevent long covid, but such investigations cost millions. Camostat’s Japanese manufacturer apparently lost interest in it as a covid drug after its own small, unsuccessful trial.
“When there’s no profit motive, it’s tough,” Vinetz said. Meanwhile, he’s resumed his research into controlling a neglected tropical disease: leptospirosis. | https://shepherdgazette.com/why-cheap-older-drugs-that-might-treat-covid-never-get-out-of-the-lab/ | 2022-04-19T15:54:02Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/why-cheap-older-drugs-that-might-treat-covid-never-get-out-of-the-lab/ | true | 11 |
Major U.S. airlines are no longer requiring passengers to wear a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The changes followed a federal judge ruling that the nationwide mask mandate on public transportation was unlawful.
American Airlines, Delta, United, Southwest, Alaska, JetBlue and Frontier all announced masks are now optional.
However, some airlines warned that there may be cases where a mask is required.
"Please note face masks may still be required based on local ordinances, or when traveling to/from certain international locations based on country requirements," American Airlines said in a statement.
It wasn't just airlines that dropped their mask requirements on Monday, Amtrak also said masks are now optional for passengers and employees. | https://www.10news.com/news/national/major-us-airlines-drop-mask-requirements | 2022-04-19T15:54:33Z | https://www.10news.com/news/national/major-us-airlines-drop-mask-requirements | true | null |

He revealed he used the MunchFit Lean plan to knock a point off his BMI and has shrunk his waist by nearly five inches - while boosting his chest by two.
Sonny, 28, followed a set meal plan of protein heavy portions, after piling on the weight following his Dancing on Ice win.
Sonny said: “I just crashed after the show. I was taking supplements and I was doing so much exercise, I thought I needed to give my body a rest.”
The MunchFit Lean Plan is designed for maximum fat loss with meals offering approximately 380 kcal per serving with 30g of protein and 21g of carbs per meal.
Sonny Jay’s plan included extra breakfast portions to help him with his early starts, but he found he didn’t need them.
He said: "I don’t have to worry about what I’m cooking. Sometimes that can be stressful, especially if I’ve had a hectic day.

Australia's AUDIO REIGN Release International Deluxe Edition Of Debut Album
April 19, 2022, 18 minutes ago
Audio Reign, in conjunction with MR Records, recently announced the worldwide release of the repackaged "International Deluxe Edition" of their self-titled album, Audio Reign, with a brand new single "Angel". The world premiere of the video took place here on BraveWords (see below).
The album can now be purchased or streamed here.
Although Audio Reigns’ self-titled debut album release was well received in Australia, MR Records believed this album was a powerhouse and deserved world recognition. As such, the album has been completely redesigned and repackaged as an International Deluxe Edition with some brand-new bonus tracks for world release 2022.
The album already boasts some explosive singles like "Betrayal", a hard rock tour de force. Hard-hitting and relentless, it sets a musical and lyrical tone that is abundant throughout the album: raw emotion and undiluted power. Vivisecting an act of treachery, the song casts a stark light on a shadowy deception, delivered by the unmistakable voice of frontman/guitarist Jake Fleming. Driving his vocals like a battering ram; the irreplaceable legion of Alek Dyrynda (lead guitar), Ash Lovett (bass) and Dieter Schoell (drums).
The release of Audio Reigns International Deluxe Edition sees a brand-new single emerge into the light. "Angel" is a truly authentic hard rock ballad which begs an answer to a declaration of love. This heartfelt offering once again harnesses the raw emotion of the band and delivers the dynamics and spine-tingling heights that you would expect from such a song. Although the International Deluxe Edition will release a radio edit of "Angel", the band are currently working on another album which will contain the full album version.
Tracklisting:
"Betrayal"
"Pill"
"Senses"
"One Way"
"Broken"
"The Portrait"

(WGHP) — Don’t set those plants out just yet!
FOX8 meteorologist Charles Ewing says that clear skies and light winds may create some freeze concerns Tuesday into Wednesday morning.
Most of the state is under a Frost Advisory Wednesday morning, with northwestern counties under a Freeze Warning. High pressure will keep the temperature below normal throughout Tuesday into Wednesday.
The NC Department of Emergency Management says that nighttime lows in the 30s and potential frost could kill sensitive outdoor vegetation.
There will also be a fair amount of wind. However, things will stay dry through the weekend, and the temperatures will hit the low-to-mid-80s on Saturday and Sunday

MILWAUKEE, April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ademi LLP is investigating ACC (NYSE:ACC) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law in its transaction with Blackstone.

One of the three men charged with supplying Mac Miller with fentanyl-laced pills, which led to the rapper’s death from an accidental overdose in 2018, has been sentenced to ten years and eleven months in prison.
According to Rolling Stone, Ryan Michael Reavis had asked to only serve five years, though federal prosecutors initially sought 12 years and seven months for Reavis. Judge Otis D. Wright II is said to have decided on a longer prison sentence after prosecutors read an emotional statement from the musician’s mother, Karen Meyers.
“My life went dark the moment Malcolm left his world. Malcolm was my person, more than a son. We had a bond and kinship that was deep and special and irreplaceable. We spoke nearly every day about everything – his life, plans, music, dreams,” Meyers said in the statement.
Reavis noted in court that, as the middle man, he did not know the counterfeit oxycodone pills that he gave Miller’s drug dealer were laced with fentanyl.
“This is not just a regular drug case. Somebody died, and a family is never going to get their son back. My family would be wrecked if it was me. They’d never be all right, never truly get over it. I think about that all the time,” said Reavis in court. “And I know that whatever happens today, I’m the lucky one because my family is here and I’m here and I’ll be with them again. I feel terrible. This is not who I am. My perspective has changed. My heart has changed.”
The judge’s decision also was reached after Assistant U.S. Attorney Elia Herrera showed proof that in June 2019, Reavis sent a text that showed he was still selling pills, while knowing that counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl were an issue.
Herrera said, “Defendant knew that people were dying from fake blues left and right. He knew that people were being put away in prison for life for dealing them. Defendant was not worried about people dying left and right. He was worried about getting caught.”
This news comes months after Stephen Andrew Walter, one of the three drug dealers involved in Miller’s death, entered a plea deal in exchange with dropping the second charge of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. Walter still faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty. | https://www.avclub.com/mac-miller-drug-supplier-sentenced-to-prison-1848811891 | 2022-04-19T16:05:15Z | https://www.avclub.com/mac-miller-drug-supplier-sentenced-to-prison-1848811891 | true | 1 |

The fintech will back consumers with cash offers.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Facing historic inventory lows and unprecedented appreciation, multi-channel fintech Lower.com launched HomePass™ to help homebuyers, particularly first-time home buyers, win through cash offers. The program allows buyers to offer cash up front while financing behind the scenes, guaranteeing an on-time close for sellers and making the buyer's offer more attractive, in an atmosphere where nearly half a quarter of homes are bought by institutional buyers.
"The barriers to enter the market for first-time home buyers are higher than ever. Pair that with current homeowners who are crippled with concern that if they sell their home, they won't find another, and we knew we had to solve this pain point for consumers," said co-founder and CEO Dan Snyder. "The home buying experience is complex, and while we don't have control over the rising rate environment, we can lower the stress in the bidding and financing process."
HomePass™ offers paths for both first time homebuyers and current homeowners.
HomePass™ for First Time Home Buyers
- You get pre-approved for a mortgage, so you know what you can afford to buy.
- You shop for a home, and when you're ready, you can make an all cash, non-contingent offer and win the deal.

WaterNSW Harness Cloud and IoT to Better Serve Customers
Founded in 2015, WaterNSW is a state-owned corporation, established under the WaterNSW Act 2014. Operating the state rivers and water supply systems, WaterNSW supplies two-thirds of the water used in NSW to regional towns, irrigators, the environment, Sydney Water Corporation and local water utilities.
Working for the company since its founding, Adrian Langdon, Executive Manager System Operations reflects on his time at the company and how it has evolved: “We still supply water, this is something that hasn’t changed, but the level of customer engagement and the amount of information that we are providing to customers now, compared to before, has grown. We have also shifted from traditional paper interactions with customers to digital interactions, and it is this journey in particular that we are focusing on now, taking previously office-based work online. In the last eight months, a lot of our meetings and similar operations with people around the state are being conducted through the digital environment (Microsoft Teams, Zoom). This is an area where we are seeing some big changes since I joined the company.”
Combined, Langdon and Ian Robinson, CIO have more than 30 years of experience in water and utility services. In particular, Robinson has worked in the IT space in the utility sector, joining WaterNSW in 2018 to drive the company’s business transformation agenda.
“We've established a transformation agenda based on a vision of the future that describes what the workforce of the future will be doing that is different to today,” says Robinson.
“To enable that, we've built a roadmap of initiatives to get us to that point, which involves transitioning customers from paper-based transactions to digital channels, enabling our system operations team to have data at their fingertips rather than having to extract data from a myriad of different systems; and enabling our field staff to replace mundane manual tasks with automated data collection solutions using IoT and on-site mobile solutions. These things combined will change the way we work; it will allow our people to work on higher-value activities and enable them to focus on the needs of our customers.
“The transformation will allow us to focus on higher-value activities, such as predicting the water needs for our customers, enabling customers to see those predictions and allowing customers to make better decisions for the future based on the availability and quality of water we can supply. And those processes will enable WaterNSW to work with our ecosystem in a way that establishes us as a source of information for better decisions by other parties in the water market.”
Harnessing Cloud and IoT at WaterNSW
As part of the business transformation agenda at WaterNSW, the company is developing an IoT gateway built on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) cloud solution. “Field equipment such as measurement sensors are connected to a telecommunications network to provide data in real-time back to the data lake where it is provided for a myriad of consumers through a data catalogue. All of that happens in one platform and the IoT gateway effectively provides the interface to the public carrier network or the satellite system that provides a communications network from the field to the gateway to connect that data for downstream processing.”
“The consolidation of data through consolidated gateways to a single source of truth data lake stops the need for people to intervene in the process and therefore interrupt the integrity of the data. Data governance then becomes oversight of data flows and associated processes to continually adapt the processes to changing requirements or error types.
“Adrian often talks about the need to make sure that all of our stakeholders have a standardised definition of what that data is so that their interpretation of the data is the same as ours. Often in the past, data has been misinterpreted because of the lack of an agreed business glossary, which means people can understand it to mean something different to how we intend it to be. The data lake enables us to put very clear tags on that data and make sure that the definition is included in a business glossary and allows people access to that in a standardised way.”
Implementing new technologies and processes do not come without challenges; for WaterNSW the primary challenge was legacy environments. “We have lots of different disparate data sources and trying to bring all those together using lots of legacy and proprietary data protocols is a significant challenge. We needed to accommodate each of those legacy proprietary technologies so that we could translate those into a standardised form. The next challenge was then to capture the business rules that have been traditionally in people's heads or those various disparate systems and codify in automated data processes. That's required us to reimagine our data flow and the rules and constraints we put around that data to make sure data is handled in a consistent way. In doing that, we've delivered a comprehensive capability across all of our data that enables consumers to trust the data and to readily fix errors that stay fixed when they are identified.”
Better Serving Customers
With water being one of the most critical elements, whether it be from an agricultural point of view or from a town’s water supply, Langdon explains the relationship WaterNSW has with its customers, “it is a very important relationship because, really, water transfers in a continual motion, therefore that relationship has to be very strong and we need to be able to work very closely together with customers to optimise the use of water and to synchronise the release of water to match demand. Water, being a limited resource, requires us to work with our customers to ensure that we manage it in the most efficient way possible, and we have to do that in a partnership.”
By developing the IoT gateway, WaterNSW can allow its customers to find information at their fingertips. “This is actually giving us the opportunity to get accurate timely data through to the customer, who is making significant financial business decisions in some cases, especially in the agricultural field; having information in a timely manner is essential for them to make good business decisions. Our consolidated data lake fed by emerging IoT sensors is giving us good quality data which our customers are able to move forward with and I think that’s the partnership that we are trying to continuously form with our customers in order to meet their needs. All of this data is visualised in an industry-leading online platform called “WaterInsights”.
Langdon reiterated the importance of putting customers at the heart of all decision-making, including technological change. He pointed to WaterInsights as a prime example of listening to your customers and then delivering a product to not only meet but exceed, their expectations:
“Our first step towards establishing this has been the introduction of WaterInsights. The WaterInsights product was born from the desire of our customers to see all information, pertinent to them, in one location. WaterInsights has delivered this in a user-centric format that puts the information that our customers told us was important at their fingertips. Excitingly, our next release, which is due mid-2022 will see us being able to push out key operational information, such as supplementary flows and outages, to our customers without them having to search for it.
While giving our customers a tool to enable better water management decisions, we have also created the ultimate transparent web tool that provides meaningful and up to date information to support our customers, stakeholders, and communities in better understanding water management in NSW.”
The product, built using agile methodologies by ADASA, reflects the way customers want to see our data. We know this through customer testing we have done, and great care was taken in listening to customer feedback and building that into a user interface that presents data in an easy-to-understand way. In working with our government policymakers, the portal also provides water access rules in plain English for customers to understand the terminology and the reason water allocations are set and how access to the water is managed.
“But our customers don’t just require information. They also need us to act on their behalf. If they have a need for water and they want to gain a licence to access that water or order water to enable us to deliver that water to them, we've built digital channels to enable them to interact with us through a customer portal and be able to look at their account and understand how much water has been used against their total allocation for the year and as changes occur. For example, Adrian has supplementary notifications that he can advise and communicate to customers, allowing them to act on that information, bid for the water, trade water, and maximise the value of their allocation.”
WaterNSW’s 360 Degree Customer View
When asked about WaterNSW’s 360-degree view of its customers, Robinson describes it as a customer-centric view. “A customer can have a whole set of licences, each of these licences can have multiple customers associated with it, then the customer will have orders, accounts, bills and transactions that occur. The 360-degree view allows the customer service operator and the customer themselves to see all of those interactions in one place in a context for their personal customer profile. Having implemented a CRM for the first time, service operators can then, in context, understand what the customer's position is, where they are sitting with their transactions, what problems they've had in the past, and what payment schedules they've had. This allows us to have a really rich experience in interacting with the customer that allows us to prove to the customer that we know and understand them.
“Our CRM solution is not only a record of customer interactions and case management for enquiries, it is also a business process automation solution using Pega software. From a CRM perspective, it provides a web-based customer portal that captures customers’ views from social media, voice contact, chatbots or email contact. All of those different channels all funnel into one single view for the internal customer service officer. It also enables customers to take into their own hands, the process of applying for and transacting with WaterNSW, so a lot of care has been taken in the CX/UX experience for a customer trying to initiate a transaction, such that, we put it into the way a customer thinks. Having entered the data, the information is processed through business rules to give the customer an automated, if possible, outcome. Ultimately, it’s about enabling WaterNSW to work in the way the customer needs, while also allowing for a reduction in the mundane task of entering data and, most importantly, allows us to focus on improving customer service.
Pega, at its roots, is a business process management engine that allows us to automate steps where business rules are met which results in the need for human intervention only when rules require it or where complex interactions are required. This is what lifts the focus of our staff from low to high value work. We can move from administration to advisory, from long cycle times pushing paper to quick cycle times with customers that really understand the nature of their assessment and the reason for the outcome of the assessment.” | https://energydigital.com/company-reports/waternsw-harness-cloud-and-iot-better-serve-customers-0 | 2022-04-19T16:09:10Z | https://energydigital.com/company-reports/waternsw-harness-cloud-and-iot-better-serve-customers-0 | true | 1 |
BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) — Clayton S. Rose, president of Bowdoin College, is stepping down next year after completing the academic calendar, he announced Tuesday.
Rose, who has led the liberal arts college since 2015, told the Bowdoin community that “serving the college is the privilege of my professional life and being a part of the Bowdoin community is a joy.”
His announcement gives trustees 14 months to prepare for a change in leadership. Rose said he plans to step down at the end of the academic year, on June 30, 2023.
A search committee will be announced following the board’s spring meetings next month, officials said.

As Jennifer Grey promotes her forthcoming memoir, "Out of the Corner," she is speaking out about multiple topics, including her two rhinoplasty surgeries.
"But when I was a kid, I was completely anti-rhinoplasty. I mean it was like my religion," she told People magazine." I loved that my parents did it [underwent rhinoplasty]. I understand it was the 50s. I understand they were assimilating."
It was her mother, Grey said, who first suggested she get her nose done. When she finally did years later, she no longer looked like the woman who had come to fame starring in the 1987 hit film "Dirty Dancing."
Grey said she and co-star Patrick Swayze were not "a natural match" in real life and that caused some of the tension that fueled their characters in the film.
"I actually just had a thought about Patrick," she said of Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 57 in 2009. "I feel like if I could say anything to him now I would say, 'I'm so sorry that I couldn't just appreciate and luxuriate in who you were, instead of me wishing you were more like what I wanted you to be.'"
She said she's been working on the script for a "Dirty Dancing" sequel for years, which she would like to have capture some of the magic of the original and translate it for a newer audience.
"Today people think that their identity is limited, the world has told them what it is," Grey said. "But there are certain people who can see other parts of you. 'Dirty Dancing' was a fairy tale, a successful movie and formula, using dance as a metaphor for embodying your energy and getting out of your head, and your limiting belief systems."

The family of a man who died from a drug overdose claim "undesirables" took advantage of his good nature and got him into drugs. Cerebral palsy sufferer, Michael Greenheld, 49, was found dead at a friend's house after taking a lethal dose of heroin.
Despite living a full life and having a strong support network, Michael's family believe he was "groomed" into taking drugs. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child, he embraced life and participated in a number of sports, winning many medals.
Michael was close to his family and received help from a learning disability support team, but they could not prevent him from getting involved with the wrong people, reports Hull Live.
After an inquest into his death, his family spoke about their loss and the tragic way Michael died. They said: “Michael was such a wonderful person and loved by all his family. But he had learning difficulties and people took advantage of that.
“He was vulnerable and some unscrupulous people could see that. We tried to move him away from these people. He trusted people and showed them how kind he was. But that seemed to be his downfall. We feel he was groomed.
“We don’t even think he understood what drugs he was taking but he did know drugs were bad. He still believed in Father Christmas so how was he to understand what was going on?
“We wanted him to live his life as normal as possible and give him some independence but it was difficult for him. There were a lot of people at his funeral. They were all heartbroken and it showed how fond people were of Michael. It gave us some comfort.”
A statement was read by Michael’s sister which echoed similar concerns and outlined how Michael refused to let his cerebral palsy prevent him from living life to the full. She said: “Michael was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was little but he was popular, both with other children and teachers.
“We had a caravan at Flamingo Land before all the fairground rides but he love it there with the animals. He had an active life and many friends. Sport played a very big part in his life. He really loved football and was a Liverpool fan.
"He also played football each week. He also loved rugby league and supported Hull FC. He also loved playing snooker, bowling and darts and won medals. He did not let his disability stop him which made us very proud.
“He loved his nephews and was very protective of them. He also had a very close bond with our mum who was very proud of him.”
But the family knew they had to try and let Michael live his own life as much as possible. His sister said: “In his late 20s, it was decided Michael should try living independently and this was a very exciting time. He was given a weekly allowance by our dad.
“But Michael is very trusting and generous and neighbours began befriending him and then take his money. But he moved to a new place off Holderness Road and it was the happiest he had been for a while.”
Michael had support from different agencies who helped him integrate into the community and offered practical help. But despite this and the amazing support of his family, Michael fell into drugs.
His sister said: “It was around six years ago we found out he had got involved in drugs and had taken heroin. He had fallen in with a group of undesirable people.
“He got very upset when we challenged him and he was very protective of these so-called friends. But we believe they just wanted his money. Michael was very trusting of people and some people would gain his trust and then take advantage.”
In October, Michael was staying at a friend’s house where he began to feel ill. In a statement the friend, who has since died, said: “I have known Michael for 14 years when we hung around in the city centre together.
“On October 22, Michael came to stay overnight but the next day he said he was not feeling well and he looked pale. We offered for him to stay another night.
"He stayed on the sofa in the spare room and made him a cup of tea. I checked on him later and he was asleep. The next day on October 24, I noticed Michael had not got up yet and it was nearly noon. I went to check on him and he was not responding. I called an ambulance.”
When paramedics arrived it was clear Michael had been dead for some time and was cold to the touch. A post-mortem was carried out which found signs of pneumonia and a pulmonary embolism but those issues would not have been enough to kill someone of Michael’s age.
Toxicology samples were examined which found he had lethal levels of heroin in his system and cause of death was heroin toxicity. Michael was looked after by an adult learning disability support team who helped provide help with his living arrangements and provided activities he could take part in.
There were concerns raised about his illicit drug use and he sometimes went missing for days at a time. But he did engage with services and even had a Renew (drug rehabilitation) appointment organised for the day after he died.
Area coroner Sally Robinson concluded Michael’s death was ‘drug related’. She said: “What strikes me is what a loving and supportive family Michael had and how he was at the heart of their lives too.
"It is obvious what a key family member he was. He loved his sport and, despite his cerebral palsy, it didn’t stop him doing everything he wanted to do.
“The important thing is to remember Michael for who he was to his family and his giving nature. He lived life to the full. He was not afraid to ask for help but on this occasion he was too late. This is a terribly sad loss to his family.”

TL;DR Breakdown
- Hyundai forays into the NFT sector with a community-based approach.
- Several automobile giants are exploring the NFT industry.
Hyundai Motors, an automobile firm headquartered in South Korea, has notified its public of the unveiling of its community Non-Fungible Token(NFT) project. The initiative is the first by any automotive manufacturer, and it is being carried out in partnership with the creators of the NFT collection “Meta Kongz.” This information was made public through a post on the company’s website.
Furthermore, the automotive makers released a video today that briefly describes the Hyundai NFT ecosystem tagged as the “Metamobility Universe”. This goes in accordance with the “Metamobility” concept it unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 held in Las Vegas in January. The idea revolves around smart devices being linked to the Metaverse in a manner that integrates mobility with virtual reality, with the objective of allowing users to defeat the physical restrictions of motion across time and space.
“We are extremely excited to introduce ‘Metamobility’ through our own NFTs and start this journey with ‘Meta Kongz’.” Said the Global Chief Marketing Officer at Hyundai, Thomas Schemera.
To celebrate the short clip, the Asian car giant will make 30 exclusive versions of NFTs available for purchase under the name “Hyundai x Meta Kongz” on April 20. Following that, other NFTs collections will be released over the year, specifically on the 11th of each month.
Hyundai joins other automobiles in the NFT space, but with a twist
The crypto space continues to witness a rise in adoption in the world. This has cut across individuals, private businesses, industries, and even governments. The automobile industry itself has welcomed crypto-assets with open arms, car companies such as Tesla and BMW accept cryptocurrencies for payment.
Meanwhile, other automakers have begun exploring NFTs and the Metaverse. Recently, Lamborghini partnered up with Fabian Oefner, an artist from Switzerland, to create their first NFT project tagged “Space Time Memory”. Also, in a call with their investors, Ferrari stated intentions to launch an NFT collection soon. To this effect, they have formed a partnership with a Swiss blockchain company, Velas.
However, Hyundai will distinguish out as the first automobile maker to approach the NFT market with an online community design. This includes multiple Twitter and Discord channels that were created on April 15, as well as an official NFT website that will be operational from next month. | https://www.cryptopolitan.com/hyundai-launches-community-based-nfts/ | 2022-04-19T16:21:46Z | https://www.cryptopolitan.com/hyundai-launches-community-based-nfts/ | false | 1 |
Why is Q1 Earnings Beat Less Likely for SVB Financial (SIVB)?
SVB Financial Group SIVB is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results on Apr 21, after market close. The company largely caters to start-up, venture capital and private equity communities. The overall demand for loans from such niche sectors continued to improve in the to-be-reported quarter.
Hence, SIVB is expected to have witnessed sizeable growth in total loan balances. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for average total interest-earning assets for the first quarter is pegged at $211.6 billion, suggesting a rise of 7.7 % from the prior quarter’s reported number.
Thus, supported by the increasing loan demand along with the hike in interest rates in mid-March, SVB Financial’s net interest income (NII) is likely to have increased in the quarter. The consensus estimate for NII (on a tax-equivalent basis) is pegged at $1 billion, which implies growth of 7.6% sequentially.
Other Key Factors and Estimates for Q1
Non-Interest Income: The consensus estimate for deposit service charges is pegged at $31.20 million, indicating a 4% rise on a sequential basis.
Moreover, as consumer confidence continued to improve, there was an improvement in credit card loans. Thus, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for credit card fees of $40.10 million indicates a rise of 5.5% from the previous quarter’s reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for client investment fees of $27.14 million suggests a 35.7% improvement from the previous quarter’s reported figure.
However, the consensus estimate for lending-related fees of $20.98 million indicates a marginal fall from the prior quarter’s reported number. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for foreign exchange fees is pegged at $74 million, suggesting a rise of 1.4% from the prior-quarter reported level.
Thus, the consensus estimate for core fee income (including client investment fees, foreign exchange fees, credit card fees, deposit service charges, lending-related fees, and letters of credit fees) of $218 million indicates a rise of 1% sequentially.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for investment banking fees of $82 million suggests a fall of 33.9% sequentially. The consensus estimate for commissions of $19.25 million indicates an 8.3% sequential decline.
The consensus estimate for total non-interest income of $460 million implies an 18% decrease sequentially.
Expenses: SVB Financial has been witnessing a continued rise in overall expenses over the past several quarters because of investments in technology upgrades and hiring. As the company has been expanding inorganically, expenses related to these will be incurred. Thus, overall costs are likely to have risen in the to-be-reported quarter.
Credit Quality: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total non-performing assets of $100 million suggests a rise of 8.7% sequentially. The consensus estimate for total non-performing loans of $97 million implies a rise of 6.6%.
What the Zacks Model Unveils
According to our proven model, the chances of SVB Financial beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate this time are low. This is because it does not have the right combination of the two key ingredients — a positive Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better — which is required to be confident of an earnings beat.
You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for SVB Financial is -3.26%.
Zacks Rank: The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s first-quarter earnings is pegged at $5.37 per share, which has moved 3.8% lower over the past seven days. The figure indicates a year-over-year decline of 46.5%.
The consensus estimate for sales of $1.43 billion suggests growth of 1.7% from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.

Stocks to Consider
Associated Bancorp ASB, Independent Bank Corporation IBCP and M&T Bank MTB are a few stocks from the finance space that you might want to consider, as these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat in their upcoming releases, per our model.
MTB is scheduled to release first-quarter results on Apr 20. MTB currently has a Zacks Rank #3 and an Earnings ESP of +5.43%.
The Earnings ESP for ASB is +0.81% and the company carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. ASB is slated to report results on Apr 21.

Cue The Awws: Travis Barker And Kourtney Kardashian Had A Sweet Exchange On Her 43rd Birthday
By Heidi Venable published
A happy day, indeed!
Kourtney Kardashian and her fiancé Travis Barker certainly aren’t shy about their love for each other, as they’ve been photographed making out on the red carpet, at Disneyland, on extravagant international vacations, and pretty much everywhere else. Their public displays of affection, however, aren’t just physical, and the couple exchanged loving words on social media after the drummer posted a sweet tribute to his future wife in celebration of her birthday.
Many members of the famous family shared well-wishes for the eldest Kardashian sibling as she turned 43 on April 18. Not to be outdone, there was no way Travis Barker was going to turn down an opportunity to get lovey-dovey with his fiancée. He took to Instagram with an intimate black-and-white photo of the two of them and shared a sweet yet simple message:
A post shared by travisbarker (@travisbarker)
A photo posted by on
The adorable post caught the attention of hundreds of thousands of fans and friends, including Kourtney’s sister Khloé Kardashian, who responded with six heart emojis. The Poosh creator clearly loved the birthday tribute as well, and she commented with a sweet response of her own:
They’re so sweet, I can’t stand it! But this birthday exchange wasn’t a first for the couple. Back in November when Travis Barker turned 46, his bride-to-be shared a number of photos of them together and said that he was her “favorite everything.” He responded that she was his “dream come true.”
They definitely seem more than ready to make it official and spend the rest of their lives together. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker already had a “practice wedding,” as they said, “I do,” in front of an Elvis impersonator at a Las Vegas wedding chapel after the Grammy Awards. However, she later admitted they hadn’t procured a proper license, so the quickie marriage wasn’t actually legal.
The couple has been wedding planning since getting engaged in October 2021, with reports alleging they hope to have an “exclusive” and “intimate” ceremony with just close family and friends. The Blink 182 drummer proposed after less than a year of dating Kourtney Kardashian, but the two had been best friends and neighbors for years.
In the recent premiere of the new Hulu reality show The Kardashians, the mother of three opened up about how they finally crossed the line to become more than friends, revealing that she actually made the first move. Think what you want about all of the PDA, but you can’t help but be happy for what they’ve found in each other.
As well as planning a wedding, the couple revealed on a preview for The Kardashians that they’re trying to expand their family. Kourtney Kardashian shares three children with Scott Disick, and Travis Barker has two children with Shanna Moakler, as well as a stepdaughter, and I am all in for this Brady Bunch blended family! Until that becomes its own reality show spinoff, we’ll settle for seeing them on The Kardashians.
New episodes of the famous family’s new reality show are available for streaming with a Hulu subscription each Thursday. Be sure to check out our 2022 TV Schedule to see what new and returning shows are premiering soon!

WASHINGTON, April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) announced today that it has executed its fourth Credit Insurance Risk Transfer™ (CIRT™) transaction of 2022. As part of Fannie Mae's ongoing effort to reduce taxpayer risk by increasing the role of private capital in the mortgage market, CIRT 2022-4 transferred $844.8 million of mortgage credit risk to private insurers and reinsurers. Since inception to date, Fannie Mae has acquired approximately $18.4 billion of insurance coverage on $635.6 billion of single-family loans through the CIRT program, measured at the time of issuance for both post-acquisition (bulk) and front-end transactions.
"We appreciate our continued partnership with the 22 insurers and reinsurers that have committed to write coverage for this deal," said Rob Schaefer, Fannie Mae Vice President for Capital Markets.
The covered loan pool for CIRT 2022-4 consists of approximately 76,600 single-family mortgage loans with an outstanding unpaid principal balance of approximately $23.1 billion. The covered pool includes collateral with loan-to-value ratios of 60.01 percent to 80.00 percent acquired between June 2021 and August 2021. The loans included in this transaction are fixed-rate, generally 30-year term, fully amortizing mortgages and were underwritten using rigorous credit standards and enhanced risk controls.
With CIRT 2022-4, which became effective March 1, 2022, Fannie Mae will retain risk for the first 45 basis points of loss on the $23.1 billion covered loan pool. If the $104.2 million retention layer is exhausted, 22 insurers and reinsurers will cover the next 365 basis points of loss on the pool, up to a maximum coverage of $844.8 million.
Coverage for this deal is provided based upon actual losses for a term of 12.5 years. Depending on the paydown of the insured pool and the principal amount of insured loans that become seriously delinquent, the aggregate coverage amount may be reduced at the one-year anniversary and each month thereafter. The coverage on this deal may be canceled by Fannie Mae at any time on or after the five-year anniversary of the effective date by paying a cancellation fee.
As of December 31, 2021, $750 billion in outstanding UPB of loans in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business were included in a reference pool for a credit risk transfer transaction.
To promote transparency and to help insurers and reinsurers evaluate the CIRT program, Fannie Mae provides ongoing, robust disclosure data, as well as access to news, resources, and analytics through its credit risk transfer webpages. This includes Fannie Mae's innovative Data Dynamics® tool that enables market participants to interact with and analyze both CIRT deals that are currently outstanding in the market and Fannie Mae's historical loan dataset. For more information on individual CIRT transactions, including pricing, please visit our Credit Insurance Risk Transfer webpage.

Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator George Akume has lamented the continuous bloodshed in Benue State.
Senator Akume, who spoke at an All Progressive Congress (APC) rally in Gwer East Local Government Area on Monday during which Ambassador Yonov Aga joined the party, regretted that the Tiv nation and indeed the state was in serious trouble over the killings.
At least 15 people were last week killed at Tiortyu a satellite community in Tarka, the ex-governor’s home local government area of the state when suspected Fulani militants struck at about 10 pm.
He said: “To be honest, Tiv people are in trouble, Benue people are in trouble. There is nothing in Benue it is only bloodshed, there is a lot of bloodshed in the land.
“It was because of too much bloodshed that we chased former Governor Gabriel Suswam (apparently referring to how he was denied senatorial ambition), but see what is happening now.
“What is happening now is even worse. Every day they (the bandits) wake up and start butchering innocent people like animals in the bush. There is nothing in Benue, there are no roads.”
The minister commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the construction of the dualized Abuja-Makurdi road; the Adoka-Naka-Makurdi road; the Makurdi-Gboko and the Gboko-Katsina Ala roads and a gigantic hospital among other projects that have direct bearing on people of the state. | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/akume-laments-continuous-bloodshed-in-benue/ | 2022-04-19T16:40:02Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/akume-laments-continuous-bloodshed-in-benue/ | true | 2 |

Small businesses face $2 billion cut from Covid-19 relief fund
By Katie Lobosco, CNN
Congress is considering taking back some of the money it authorized last year for a small business aid program in order to pay for new Covid-19 vaccines, testing and therapeutics.
The Biden administration asked Congress to provide more money weeks ago, warning that funds are needed to continue fighting Covid-19. But lawmakers have disagreed on how to pay for the request. Senate Republicans have insisted any new funding be fully offset by repurposing money from Covid-19 relief legislation that Congress previously passed.
A bipartisan deal reached in the Senate earlier this month would fully offset the $10 billion legislation by reallocating a variety of Covid-19 relief funds that were previously authorized by Congress but have not yet been spent.
A majority of those unspent funds were left over from programs that have already expired. But the deal also proposes taking about $2 billion from a $10 billion small business program that hasn’t disbursed any funds yet.
“There’s a big difference between funds that have not been used and funds that have yet to be deployed,” said Katie Kramer, vice president of the Council of Development Finance Agencies, a national association dedicated to supporting economic development.
The program in question, known as the State Small Business Credit Initiative, provides money to states to help create small business financing programs. It’s a long-term aid program that is meant to help small businesses have access to capital as the economy rebounds, instead of providing emergency grants and loans like other Covid-19 aid programs.
Funding cut threat puts state plans on hold
After months of planning how best to use the money, the threat of the cut is putting states’ plans on ice.
Like many states, Oregon was ready to launch several small business financing programs as soon as it receives the money from the Treasury Department. If the funds are cut, it could mean big delays.
“The frustrating thing for us is that we’ve been engaging with communities for months, letting them know these resources are coming,” said John Saris, finance manager at Business Oregon, the state’s economic development agency.
He was expecting Oregon to receive more than $83 million, enough to potentially reach 1,000 businesses. But if Congress rescinds some of the money, the state could see a reduction by as much as $20 million, leaving it with resources to help just 700 small businesses.
“With these cuts, we will have to totally revamp our plans. Some programs might go away completely — that’s how dire this is,” Saris said.
The State Small Business Credit Initiative allows states to create a variety of financing programs for small businesses and startups emerging from the pandemic, including venture capital programs and loan guarantees to lenders, for example.
Governments are required to match some of the federal funds with private capital, and Treasury expects that the programs should generate small business lending and investment of at least 10 times the federal contribution amount.
That means that a $2 billion cut in federal funding from the State Small Business Credit Initiative could result in more than a $20 billion reduction in private investment for small businesses, according to the Council of Development Finance Agencies.
States are still waiting for the money
The State Small Business Credit Initiative was originally created in 2010 to help small businesses recover from the Great Recession. The American Rescue Plan Act, which was signed into law by President Joe Biden in March 2021, reauthorized the program and provided $10 billion in new funding.
States were required to submit applications to Treasury in February and tribal governments have until May 11. But no applications have been approved yet and none of the money has been disbursed by Treasury.
A Treasury official told CNN that the agency’s rollout of the State Small Business Credit Initiative “has been consistent with the statute and included outreach, input, and engagement with states, tribes, lenders, small businesses and experts, as well as technical assistance to ensure programs are set up to deploy these funds effectively.”
The official noted that Congress created some new elements for the program that weren’t included in 2010, including the addition of allocations for tribal governments and socially and economically disadvantaged business owners, along with a new technical assistance program.
Bill remains in limbo
After weeks of negotiation on the Covid-19 relief bill, lawmakers left for a two-week recess without voting on the bill. The latest hurdle came as Republicans demanded a vote on an immigration amendment to restore Title 42, a pandemic-era rule that allowed immigrants to be returned immediately to their home countries citing a public health emergency.
The bill calls for repurposing several buckets of previously approved Covid-19 relief funds to pay for the new health spending, in addition to the money it would take back from the State Small Business Credit Initiative.
The bill would use nearly $2 billion left over from the Shuttered Venues Operators Grant program, which gave money to live music venues, theaters and museums that were forced to shut their doors for some period of time due to the pandemic. The program stopped taking applications in August. It awarded more than $14 billion in grants.
The bill would also repurpose about $900 million that is remaining for the Covid-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan advance program, which allowed some small businesses to receive up to $15,000 that did not need to be paid back. The program would be left with enough money to accommodate pending loan modifications and the recently announced six-month deferment on loan payments, according to a summary of the bill provided by Senate Democrats.
More than $2.3 billion would come from the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program, which provided funding to businesses to cover up to half of their payroll costs for certain categories of employees for up to six months. In return, those businesses were required to make several commitments, including to not involuntarily furlough or lay off employees within that group during the same six-month period.
The bill would also use remaining unspent money in the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, totaling $500 million. That program provided funds to colleges so that they could give emergency financial aid grants to students whose lives were disrupted by the pandemic. Another $1.6 billion of unspent funds that were previously given to the US Department of Agriculture would also be repurposed.
Congress could take up the new Covid-19 relief legislation next week after lawmakers return from recess. Spokespeople for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who was negotiating the funding deal for Republicans, did not return emails from CNN requesting comment for this story.

WEST SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Two people were arraigned on robbery and retail theft charges stemming from multiple incidents that occurred in West Sacramento, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Sierra Stommel, 36, and Allen Wright, 28, both from Sacramento, each pled guilty in Yolo County Superior Court Tuesday. Both are being held on bail in the county jail — $60,000 for Stommel and $100,00 for Wright.
Both were arrested last Thursday on suspicion of robbing a West Sacramento liquor store that same day, the Yolo County District attorney’s Office said.
Stommel and Wright had already been suspected of stealing from the city’s Lowe’s back on December 27, 2021, and January 8 of this year.
On Monday, prosecutors filed a criminal complaint, alleging robbery and organized retail theft for all three incidents.
Stommel and Wright will next appear in court on April 6. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2576204995775/woman-charged-for-grocery-store-refund | 2022-04-19T16:56:51Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2576204995775/woman-charged-for-grocery-store-refund | true | null |
UK low carbon and renewables turnover stalls for six years
The need to accelerate the energy transition has been dramatically underlined by ONS figures which showed no significant increase in the turnover of the UK's low carbon and renewable energy sectors between 2014 and 2020.
Turnover was estimated to be £41.2bn in 2020, with "no significant change since 2014" when the survey began, the ONS reported. Employment in the the sector was estimated to be 207,800 full-time equivalent (FTE) in 2020, again showing little discernible change.
Businesses with 250 or more employees saw a decrease of 6% turnover and 3% employment in their low carbon-related activities between 2019 and 2020.
Those classified within the manufacturing, energy supply and construction industries accounted for 84% of all UK low carbon and renewables turnover in 2020, and 77% of all the sector's employment.
The energy efficient products (excluding energy efficient lighting) and low emission vehicles sectors remained the largest sectors in the low carbon and renewables economy in 2020, accounting for £12.1bn (29%) and £6.8bn (16%) of turnover respectively.
The data further illustrates the dilemmas facing governments as energy demand outpaces clean energy supply - thereby using more fossil fuels and generating more greenhouse gas emissions, notes a recent S&P Global Platts report. It forecasts 2022 will be a record year for C02 emissions despite the Covid-19 pandemic and the world's energy transition efforts.
"Perhaps the greatest challenge of the energy transition is moving beyond the increase of wind and solar generation and electric vehicles, to reducing emissions in sectors that are more difficult to decarbonise, such as aviation and marine transport," it notes.
McKinsey research indicates that to get on a pathway to lower emissions - pathways such as the one defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as likely to limit further atmospheric warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius - additional investments will be needed of about €595 billion per year between 2021–30. | https://energydigital.com/renewable-energy/uk-low-carbon-and-renewables-turnover | 2022-04-19T16:58:32Z | https://energydigital.com/renewable-energy/uk-low-carbon-and-renewables-turnover | true | 1 |

What just happened? A US appeals court has reaffirmed an earlier ruling that states companies or individuals who scrape publicly accessible data from the web aren't breaking the law. The result contradicts Microsoft-owned LinkedIn's claim that web scraping is illegal and a threat to user privacy.
The US Ninth Circuit of Appeals ruling is the latest chapter in a long-running battle between workforce analytics startup HiQ Labs and LinkedIn. The employment-focused social network sent HiQ Labs a cease and desist letter in 2017 demanding that it stop scraping its members' public profile data; something it did approximately every two weeks as part of a service offered to businesses looking to "determine skills gaps or turnover risks months ahead of time."
LinkedIn claimed the web scraping violated the 1986 Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). It implemented "technical measures" to stop HiQ Labs from accessing its site, which led to the firm launching a lawsuit against LinkedIn.
A judge found in favor of HiQ Labs in 2017 and granted a preliminary injunction against LinkedIn that prevented it from restricting the former's access to public profiles. LinkedIn appealed, but the Ninth Circuit was also on HiQ Labs' side in 2019, finding that CFAA does not bar anyone from scraping publicly accessible data.
Undeterred, LinkedIn appealed to the US Supreme Court, which in June narrowed the CFAA's definitions of accessing a computer system "without authorization" and when doing so "exceeds authorized access." It ruled that the latter does not cover breaking terms of services alone, but the Supreme Court also sent the case back to the ninth court for reconsideration.
Now, the ninth court has ruled that "the concept of 'without authorization' does not apply to public websites," thereby preventing LinkedIn from blocking HiQ Labs' web scraping.
Despite the setback, LinkedIn isn't giving up. "We're disappointed in the court's decision. This is a preliminary ruling and the case is far from over," said LinkedIn spokesperson Greg Snapper in a statement. "We will continue to fight to protect our members' ability to control the information they make available on LinkedIn. When your data is taken without permission and used in ways you haven't agreed to, that's not okay. On LinkedIn, our members trust us with their information, which is why we prohibit unauthorized scraping on our platform."

Arshad Warsi turns 54: Wife Maria Goretti shares throwback video from when she interviewed him: 'Didn't know him at all'
Actor Arshad Warsi turned 54 on Tuesday. Arshad's wife, former VJ Maria Goretti, with whom he tied the knot in 1999, wished him on Instagram. Maria shared an old clip of the couple from the time when she interviewed him for an MTV show back in the 90s. Also Read: Arshad Warsi corrects journalist who said Bachchhan Paandey is a box office success: 'Don’t lie'
Sharing the video, Maria wrote, “You know this guy right? Today he turns a year wiser and even more nicer. Flashback of when I used to be an @mtvindia VJ and interviewed @arshad_warsi asking him questions like I did not know him at all. The sad bit, this is all I have of that interview. #birthdayboy #aries.”
In the video, which is from the time when the two were dating, Maria is seen asking Arshad about his debut film Tere Mere Sapne which was released in 1996 and was a box office success. The film also starred Chandrachur Singh, Priya Gill and Simran.
The couple met in 1991 and tied the knot in 1999. In a 2008 interview with Bollyspice, Arshad opened up about his first met Maria. He said, “I was invited to Malhar to judge a dance competition where I noticed this lovely girl with a cute smile from St. Andrew’s College, who was also participating in the competition and I fell in love with her. But if I have my facts right, it wasn’t love at first sight."
Maria added, “After the show Arshad came up to me and asked me if I would like to join his dance troupe, but I refused. Three months later I met him again through a common friend and we gradually became friends. He even convinced me to join his dance troupe.”
After working as a choreographer in a song in the 1993 film Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, Arshad made his acting debut with Tere Mere Sapne, which released in 1996. He went on to appear in films such as the Munna Bhai series, Ishqiya (2010), the Golmaal franchise, Jolly LLB (2013), Sehar (2005), Bachchhan Paandey (2022) and many more. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/arshad-warsi-turns-54-wife-maria-goretti-shares-throwback-video-from-when-she-interviewed-him-didn-t-know-him-at-all-101650377901292-amp.html | 2022-04-19T17:06:12Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/arshad-warsi-turns-54-wife-maria-goretti-shares-throwback-video-from-when-she-interviewed-him-didn-t-know-him-at-all-101650377901292-amp.html | false | 2 |
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Officials have purchased a gondola in Austria for a city-owned ski area in Alaska’s capital city, but questions remain about the installation and long-term plans for the gondola. City officials have expressed interest in working with an Alaska Native corporation on the project.
Eaglecrest Ski Area’s general manager and a city project manager recently visited a ski area in Austria to examine the lift and sign a sale agreement for $1.33 million, the Juneau Empire reported.
Deputy City Manager Robert Barr said the city is seeking bids from transport companies to bring the gondola to Juneau.
Eaglecrest has said its leaders have been looking for ways to expand summer operations and create opportunities for a more sustainable year-round model. The ski area, on its website, said it would work with planners, engineers and contractors on the best placement for the new infrastructure. Eaglecrest is on Douglas Island.
City leaders last week authorized City Manager Rorie Watt to negotiate an agreement with Goldbelt Inc., an Alaska Native corporation that operates a tram near downtown Juneau and owns land near Eaglecrest.
Watt, in a memo to the city’s Assembly, said Goldbelt has expressed interest in providing funding for up to $10 million for the installation of the gondola and “other related improvements. This is, indeed, a remarkable turn of events.”
“The rough proposal is that Goldbelt would provide funding in exchange for a contractual agreement to receive a percentage of summer ridership on the gondola until such time as appropriate return is earned. A contractual agreement of this nature would require authorization by Ordinance,” Watt wrote.
The Assembly earlier this year approved up to $2 million for the gondola purchase, but some members expressed reservations, citing uncertainty about public interest in the project and costs beyond the purchase, including an estimated $4.5 million for installation.
Watt noted that while the Eaglecrest board has expressed the desire to have Eaglecrest “retain control of all operations,” he said he was “heartened by Goldbelt’s overture, and I strongly support the motion to start negotiations.” | https://www.kwhl.com/officials-buy-gondola-for-city-owned-ski-area-in-juneau/ | 2022-04-19T17:07:16Z | https://www.kwhl.com/officials-buy-gondola-for-city-owned-ski-area-in-juneau/ | false | 7 |

RICHMOND, Va., April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital Square, a national investment sponsor specializing in tax-advantaged real estate investments, announced today the launch of CSRA Opportunity Zone Fund VII, LLC. The project-specific opportunity zone fund will raise capital to develop approximately 350 apartment units in the Scott's Addition neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia's. CSRA Opportunity Zone Fund VII seeks to raise $41,438,000 in equity from accredited investors. This is Capital Square's seventh opportunity zone fund and fifth apartment community being developed in Richmond.
"Capital Square's development team is on track and on budget in the development of five Class A apartment communities in Richmond and Raleigh, North Carolina, in spite of a global pandemic that has put many developers on the sidelines," said Louis Rogers, founder and chief executive officer. "It is a testament to Capital Square's strength that development activity has actually increased dramatically at a time like this."
Located at 2935 W. Clay St., 2944 W. Marshall St., and 2931 W. Marshall St., the community will include three five- and six-story residential buildings above podium parking. Construction is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2023. The finished project will include retail amenities.
Established in 1901, Scott's Addition is a historic area that is now the City of Richmond's fastest growing neighborhood, according to the Scott's Addition Boulevard Association. The area is known for its food, drink and entertainment amenities, including 13 breweries, cideries, meaderies and distilleries, within a walkable, seven block area. The area caters to a growing number of millennial residents and empty-nesters.
Once a hub for industrial buildings and businesses, Scott's Addition is the number one "millennial hot-spot" in Virginia, with a 43% increase in millennials in just five years, according to RENTCafe. Scott's Addition is the second-highest performing market in Richmond, according to Yardi Matrix.
"The continued growth of Scott's Addition makes it a great place to develop," said Whitson Huffman, chief strategy and investment officer. "The area is the second-highest performing market in Richmond, with an approximate 97.8% occupancy for multifamily units. Our team is excited to begin our fifth multifamily development in Scott's Addition. Capital Square is building the future of Richmond."
Opportunity zones were created to stimulate long-term private investments in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide. Conceived as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, opportunity zone funds are intended to help foster economic growth by providing tax benefits to incentivize private investments in designated opportunity zones.

Norwegian furniture maker builds on a half-century of balanced comfort
SOMERSET, N.J., April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stressless®, long known for its innovation and craftsmanship, as well as its minimalist Scandinavian style, is launching its redesigned classic Stressless Royal recliner in celebration of "50 Years of Stressless." The recliner is now available in North America. By reimagining a true classic, Stressless is commemorating a half-century of balanced comfort. That's five decades of Norwegian design built on an ingenious blend of artisanship and innovation. Over 10 million Stressless seats have been sold since 1971.
Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/9013351-stressless-debuts-royal-recliner-for-50th-anniversary/
"There's a reason it all started 50 years ago in Norway, where Scandinavian nature and culture bring out the best in technology," said Beverly Kastel, Stressless marketing director for North America. "Together, human insight and advanced robotics have created a product that's the most comfortable furniture on Earth—the Stressless recliner."
North America comprises the largest market for Ekornes with 25% of global sales volume. In 2021, the 50th anniversary year, Stressless recorded the highest annual sales in the company's history, according to Kastel.
The Stressless brand has evolved over 50 years—launching the first Stressless recliner in 1971 and introducing sofas in 1993. The Stressless home theater collection was born in 2003, followed by Stressless' latest innovations including the Stressless Mary & Emily sofas, and Mike and Max recliners with Power™ in 2020.
The longest selling model in the Stressless collection, the Stressless Royal was originally introduced in 1981. It was the first Stressless recliner with the hourglass-shaped base in laminated wood. The company made some aesthetic adjustments to improve the iconic design without compromising the unmistakable comfort of the Stressless Royal. As it does with all its furniture, Stressless put emphasis on sustainability when creating the new recliner, using materials and manufacturing processes that have a low environmental impact. Signature curves and retro stitching define the design, making it the perfect anniversary model. Stressless has enhanced the chair with the original base and steel structure inspired by the very first Stressless Original back in 1971.
Now through May 31, Customers receive $300 off the recliner in all Paloma leather colors at their closest Stressless dealer. To celebrate the launch, Stressless is also giving away one Royal recliner to a lucky winner of its Live Royally Sweepstakes on Facebook. Participants can comment on the Ekornes Facebook post with the name or image of a chair in their home they would like to replace with a new Stressless Royal recliner and include the hashtags #StresslessSweepstakes and #LiveRoyally. The Sweepstakes runs through Friday, May 13 and one lucky winner will be randomly drawn in late May.
Consumers looking for more information on the 50th Anniversary Stressless Royal recliner may visit stressless.com, or the nearest Stressless dealer.

(NewsNation) — “The Chosen,” a series about the life of Jesus Christ, has captured the eyes of 400 million people.
It’s so popular that it’s currently coming in at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and has raised more money than any other crowd-funded media project in history.
A total of 19,000 people donated about $10 million to get the first season of “The Chosen” made.
How did it get so popular?
Perhaps part of the reason: A recent smear campaign against the show that included defaced billboards and advertisements on social media telling people not to watch it, which left people both confused and intrigued.
As it turns out, the smear camapaign was faked. It was part of an advertising strategy, Dallas Jenkins, the director of “The Chosen,” explained on “Banfield.”
“I had to do a little bit of sincere apologizing because I think we missed the boat with our core fans. But the reaction from non-viewers, from people who are just discovering the show because of the campaign, has been actually extraordinary,” Jenkins said Monday night during an appearance on “Banfield.”
“People have been saying, ‘I wasn’t gonna watch the show, but now I am,'” Jenkins added.
Seasons one and two are streaming now, and the third season is fully funded and set to begin production soon. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/the-chosen-boosted-by-fake-anti-jesus-ad-campaign/ | 2022-04-19T17:25:48Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/the-chosen-boosted-by-fake-anti-jesus-ad-campaign/ | false | 27 |

'She doesn't even expect it': Goose attacks woman in Jacksonville parking lot
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Onlookers saw it coming. An unsuspecting woman walked across a parking lot in Jacksonville, not realizing she would fall victim to a nearby attacker – a Canada goose.
The woman managed to escape her attacker, but dropped all of her belongings in the parking lot and had to wait for a good Samaritan to help her retrieve them.

The scene unfolded as Victoria Willard and others watched, recording video they later posted on TikTok.
"She doesn't even expect it," one person can be heard saying on the video as the woman walks across the parking lot.
The goose is visible to the onlookers, but not the victim, who appears to be looking at her phone while she walks.
@organizedesigncreate There were 3 eggs but only one survived. They have since left the nest. Thank y’all for watching and enjoying these videos!
♬ original sound - Victoria
"Is she even paying attention?" another person asks.
Then the goose makes its move. It swoops toward the woman, flying straight at her. Her belongings scatter across the pavement as the onlookers scream "no!"
Credit: Victoria Willard via Storyful
"She's dropping everything," a woman says as a man laughs uncontrollably in the background.
It appears the people watching the attack knew it was coming. According to Storyful, the goose is known in the area as a protector of a nearby nest.
Willard told Storyful that she began recording after her supervisor said he was attacked while walking to the building, and she wanted to "see if it would happen again."

Thankfully, the woman is not hurt, but she can't seem to figure out how to get to her things.
Meanwhile, a man identified in the video as Joseph enters the scenario. He gets into a car near the goose, managing to get inside before being attacked.
He pulls out of the parking space, positioning his vehicle in between the goose and the woman's belongings, just long enough for her to run over and pick them up.
@organizedesigncreate Finally! Now we can get to work safely each morning. 😊
♬ Steven Universe - L.Dre
An update posted by Willard to TikTok on April 16 shows a gosling walking around with the geese in the lot.
