A caution to anyone who may need a car repair sometime soon: You may have to wait weeks, even months for parts, due to supply chain shortages that show no signs of letting up.
When George Weaver fires up his 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, the whole neighborhood hears what sounds like an old hot rod.
"I started it up on Monday morning, and it was loud, and I knew right away what had happened," he said.
It was his catalytic converter, which are being targeted by thieves everywhere these days for their valuable metals. When he looked underneath, he saw two clean cuts on the exhaust, and his $1,000 converter gone.
So he limped the SUV to his dealer, where he expected a quick repair. But it was not to be.
"The dealer said they are back-ordered, there are none in the country, and they don't know when they are gonna get them in," he said.
Many parts now on back order for months
Many original equipment catalytic converters are currently on back order. But that's not the only essential car part you may not be able to find, due to supply chain shortages.
Matt Overbeck owns a repair shop, Overbeck Auto Services. "We are seeing car parts delays and shortages in some areas," he said. "Day, weeks, and in some cases months."
Besides converters, he says parts in short supply include:
- ABS brake modules
- Engine sensors
- Transmission control modules
- Windshields
What can owners do?
Overbeck says independent shops have more flexibility than dealers, that have to use official replacement parts. He is able to get aftermarket converters, for example, or used converters in a pinch.
"You can work with your repair provider to see if there are other options, such as used, or a salvage yard part," Overbeck said.
He says don't be frightened by salvage parts, as they are usually fine and come with warranties. But Weaver, who wants the official Hyundai part because his SUV is almost new, says "it is very frustrating. And the frustrating part is you are paying for the car and you can't use it!"
We contacted his dealer, who promised to make his converter a priority, and if all else fails, try to swap him into a different vehicle.
So don't be surprised if you have to wait for a part, so don't waste your money.

Weld County added more new residents than any other county in the state since the April 2020 census, according to new data released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The county added an estimated 11,055 residents, taking it from a population of 328,981 to 340,036, as of July 1, 2021, a growth rate of 3.4%.
The Census Bureau estimates population in counties annually, building on the latest census, earlier estimates and demographic analysis.
Douglas County ranked second statewide in terms of residents added, with 11,012 new residents taking the population from 357,978 to 368,990, an increase of 3.1%.
When looking at estimates for the one-year span from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021, Weld and Douglas reversed positions, with Douglas County adding 8,888 residents during that 12-month period and Weld County adding 8,678.
El Paso County ranked No. 3 statewide in terms of population added since the census, with 7,472 new residents taking the population from 730,395 to 737,867, up 1%.
Larimer County ranked No. 4 statewide, adding 3,467 residents, taking the population from 359,066 to 362,533, an increase of 1%.
Boulder County actually lost population according to the estimate, dropping by 1,215 residents, from 330,758 to 329,543, down 0.4%.
Broomfield County added 1,213 residents, taking the population from 74,112 to 75,325, up 1.6%.
Rich Werner, president and CEO of Upstate Colorado, a regional economic-development organization based in Greeley, said the latest population gains reflect a trend that has existed over the past decade.
Weld County communities offer more-affordable housing options than many parts of the Denver area, Werner noted, with growth of industry adding to the appeal.
“When you have an area of Northern Colorado that is tied to the metro Denver region and are seeing robust growth in industry, along with additional affordable [housing] options and a variety of communities to live in, you’re seeing that support that growth,” he said. “It’s always been an issue of housing stock and affordability that lends itself, along with the commuting patterns of the workforce.”
The Census Bureau identified net migration as the main factor in Larimer County’s one-year population growth, while Weld County showed a robust natural change of 1,993 and net migration of 6,730.
But negative net migration was cited as the key component of Boulder County’s population loss since July 1, 2020, with 1,413 residents moving out of the county, only slightly offset by natural change, or births compared with deaths.
That could be a reflection of the high housing costs in Boulder County. The median single-family sales price for the city of Boulder, for example, approached $1.6 million in February, with Longmont at $600,000. February’s median sales price in the Greeley-Evans market was only $434,850.
“We saw this happen to Longmont years ago, where Longmont’s growth was really predicated on the affordability issue of folks who worked in Boulder but could not afford to live there and so moved to Longmont,” Werner said. “And now we’re seeing the same thing as our population growth increases, as our industries continue to grow, we’re seeing more interest in living close to the workplace.”
Nationally, five of the Top 10 largest-gaining counties in 2021, were in Texas, with Collin, Fort Bend, Williamson, Denton and Montgomery counties gaining a combined 145,663 residents.
Also:
- Los Angeles County, California, experienced the largest population loss of any county, losing 159,621 residents in 2021.
- Seventy-one percent of counties (2,218) experienced positive net international migration.
- Four counties crossed the threshold of 100,000 residents in 2021: Cleveland County, North Carolina (100,359); Lancaster County, South Carolina (100,336); Bastrop County, Texas (102,058); and Grant County, Washington (100,297).
- Los Angeles County, California (9,829,544), and Cook County, Illinois (5,173,146), had more than 5 million residents in 2021, making them the two most populous counties in the nation.

Ukraine foreign minister says he has no information about who carried out Belgorod strike
Article content
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Friday he could not confirm or deny Ukraine’s alleged involvement in a strike on a fuel depot in the Russian city of Belgorod because he was not privy to all military information.
Responding to a question about the attack at a briefing in Poland, Kuleba said: “I can neither confirm nor reject the claim that Ukraine was involved in this simply because I do not possess all the military information.”
He also said Ukraine was waiting for Russia’s formal response to Kyiv’s proposals laid out at peace talks in Turkey and that foreign powers were not pushing Ukraine to compromise in negotiations.

As Russia-Ukraine talks resume on Friday, questions continue to abound over the peculiar involvement of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, and the role he might be playing in ongoing negotiations.
The sanctioned Chelsea soccer club owner was spotted at talks in Istanbul, Turkey, earlier this week, where he was photographed alongside mediating host President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
Both Russian and Ukrainian spokespeople have said Abramovich is not an official member of their delegation, nor was he seated at the main negotiating table during talks.
Rather, he is considered a neutral party, having played an important role in facilitating talks. Indeed, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly asked President Joe Biden to hold fire on sanctioning Abramovich as he could prove a useful go-between in brokering peace. A spokesperson for Abramovich was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.
However, it's a curious position given the billionaire businessman's alleged close ties to President Vladimir Putin, for which he has been sanctioned in the U.K. and EU.
Why Roman Abramovich?
Russian-born Abramovich is one of the world's richest men, having derived much of his original wealth from the purchase (widely seen as being rigged) and later resale of state-owned oil company Sibneft following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
His intimate relations with the Kremlin are well established, having become a close ally to former President Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s and, later, Putin. However, he has kept largely under the radar of international politics over the years, preferring instead to focus on his overseas business dealings, including the 2003 purchase and transformation of London soccer club Chelsea F.C.
That was, until, Russia's war in Ukraine threw the high-flying lifestyles of Russia's oligarch elite firmly into the public eye as Western allies applied sanctions on Putin's inner circle in a bid to pressure him into submission.
Abramovich is really a very convenient figure for Putin to use to engage in some kind of informal, under-the-counter diplomacy.Andre Korobkovprofessor, Middle Tennessee State University
Abramovich, for one, rose to prominence — not least for launching a fire sale of his most prized U.K. assets — but also following apparent requests by Ukraine to act as an intermediary between the West and Moscow.
"I can confirm that Roman Abramovich was contacted by the Ukrainian side for support in achieving a peaceful resolution, and that he has been trying to help ever since," a spokesman for Abramovich said in late February, shortly after the war's outbreak.
He has since been seen traveling between Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Israel to engage in mediation talks. But his motives remain unclear.
"As far as I am aware, he [Abramovich] was helping with the humanitarian issue: with the humanitarian convoy taking people out of Mariupol," Zelenskyy told reporters on Sunday.
What is he seeking to achieve?
As an Israeli citizen and a Jew, some observers have suggested he is present in the interests of the Jewish community, which has a sizeable population across Ukraine and Russia.
Indeed, Israel has assumed a significant mediation role in ongoing peace talks and some analysts suggest Abramovich could be acting as a mouthpiece for the Israeli government, with whom he is known to have strong ties.
"Abramovich is the point guy on the ground to do what he can to advance the proposals and the mediation efforts that the Israeli Prime Minister has spearheaded," Christopher Granville, managing director of EMEA & global political research at TS Lombard, told CNBC Thursday. Those aims include providing aid and stemming the growing migrant crisis.
The Jewish community was Abramovich's entry into these discussions. But once you're involved in mediation, you're brought in fully.Christopher Granvillemanaging director, TS Lombard
That, to Zelenskyy's point, could have since extended into wider humanitarian efforts, including the establishment of safe exit corridors for civilians caught in the crossfire.
"The Jewish community was Abramovich's entry into these discussions. But once you're involved in mediation, you're brought in fully to all lines of communication," said Granville.
Others, however, suggest his presence may be much more strategically and politically significant, representing both presence on the ground for Putin and also an important go-between for all sides.
"Abramovich is really a very convenient figure for Putin to use to engage in some kind of informal, under-the-counter diplomacy," said Andrei Korobkov, professor of political science and international relations at the Middle Tennessee State University.
"In reality, he serves as a link between the Kremlin, Zelenskyy, Israel, probably the U.S. and maybe even the U.K.," said Korobkov, noting Abramovich's "significant connections" in Britain even in the face of sanctions.
Still, some remain more skeptical over the oligarch's intentions.
Ukraine's U.K. ambassador, Vadym Prystaiko, who was in attendance at the meeting in Istanbul, told the BBC he had "no idea" why Abramovich was there, and questioned his motives.
"I don't know if he's buying his way out somehow or if he's really useful, that's very difficult to tell," Prystaiko said.
Over the weekend, Erdogan and Cavusoglu both said they would welcome Russian oligarchs to Turkey, a non-EU country but a NATO member, which opposes sanctions out of principle. It came just days after Abramovich moved two of his superyachts and a private jet to the country, out of reach of European regulators.

PARIS (AP) — The last surviving suspect from the 2015 Paris attacks has told a court he felt “ashamed” after failing to detonate his suicide belt on the bloody night of Nov. 13.
“I didn’t go all the way,” Salah Abdelslam told a Paris court, showing no remorse. “I gave up trying to put on the (suicide) belt, not out of cowardice or fear. I didn’t want to, that’s all.”
He gave testimony this week as part of the trial into Paris’ deadliest ever peacetime attack. With thousands of plaintiffs, this trial is the biggest in modern French history.
His testimony was part of an exceptional week, when he and suspected accomplices were questioned for the first time about the day of the attacks itself. Lawyers and victims’ families see it as crucial for shedding light on what happened on Nov. 13, 2015.
Later Friday, the court will play audio recordings and release photos from inside the Bataclan theater that have never been made public before, to expose the horrors of what happened. This week in court is crucial for the survivors and families of the 130 victims.
Abdelslam dropped off three attackers in a car, who then blew themselves up on the forecourt of the Stade de France moments after a France-Germany football match kick-off. Abdelslam said he subsequently drove to the north of Paris, bought a phone chip, took the metro across Paris to hide his explosives belt in the southern suburb of Montrouge after he claimed didn’t have the nerve to detonate it.
Abdelslam said he lied to his co-attackers that the belt had not worked “because I was ashamed of not having gone all the way. I was afraid of the eyes of others. I was simply ashamed.”
Abdelslam’s testimony contradicts that of a police explosives expert who has told the court that the suicide belt was faulty.
Extremists murdered 130 people in suicide bombings and shootings at the Stade de France stadium, the Bataclan concert hall and on street terraces of bars and restaurants.
Following the attacks, Abdeslam traveled to the Molenbeek district of Brussels, where he grew up, but was arrested in March 2016.
Other co-defendants are responding to charges including attack planning, the supply of weapons and giving logistical support.

Russia on Friday launched its spring draft of young men eligible for national service, vowing conscripts will not be sent to fight in Ukraine, where over 1,000 troops have been killed.
The Russian military holds two annual draft sessions, in spring and autumn, when it recruits eligible men aged 18 to 27 to serve for a year.
This time, President Vladimir Putin has set a recruitment goal of 134,500 men, according to a Kremlin decree.
Military service is nominally mandatory for men but many Russians avoid the draft by entering higher education or evading the summons.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said this week that conscripts will not be sent to any hot spots and those currently ending their military service would all be sent home.
Putin stated on March 8 that he would not send conscripts or reservists to fight in Ukraine.
But a Russian army spokesman said a day later that conscripts were mistakenly sent to Ukraine as part of some units. While most have been returned to Russia, some have been taken prisoner, he said.
An unnamed US official said this week that declassified intelligence showed Putin had not known that conscripts were serving in Ukraine.
Russian independent media and voluntary groups have reported that some conscripts have been sent to the front after signing a contract to join the professional army under pressure.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated Friday that conscripts would not be sent to Ukraine.
"This cannot have anything to do with the military special operation in Ukraine. Conscripts are not being sent there".
Russia's military announced last week that 1,351 soldiers had been killed in Ukraine and 3,825 wounded.

- Increases Hashrate 400 Petahash to 2.7 EH/s -
- Secures Additional US$40 Million Draw from BTC-backed Credit Facility & Grants Stock Options -
This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s prospectus supplement dated August 16, 2021 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated August 12, 2021.
TORONTO, Ontario and BROSSARD, Québec, April 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitfarms Ltd. ( BITF // TSXV: BITF), a global Bitcoin self-mining company, provided a Bitcoin (BTC) production and mining operations update for March 2022.
“Adding 400 petahash per second to our hashrate in March, we are rapidly approaching our goal of 3 exahash per second (EH/s), which we expect to reach within the next week,” said Emiliano Grodzki, CEO of Bitfarms. “Driving the increase in our hashrate was the addition of one of our new Sherbrooke locations, phase one of The Bunker, which was brought online in March. Another new Sherbrooke location, Leger, is on the verge of starting production that will immediately boost our hashrate over our 3 EH/s goal.”
“Daily BTC production has increased as a result and as of today averages 12.5 (BTC) per day,” added Grodzki. “This is up 18% from our February average and equates to about US$575,000 in daily revenue at the current BTC price of US$46,000.”
Mining Production
- 2.7 EH/s online, up from 2.3 EH/s as of February 28, 2022.
- 363 new BTC mined during March 2022, up 64% from March 2021.
- 11.7 BTC mined daily on average in March, equivalent to about US$538,000 per day and approximately US$16.7 million for the month based on a BTC price of US$46,000 on March 31, 2022.
- 360 BTC from mining deposited into custody in March.
- 5,243 BTC in custody at March 31, 2022, representing a total value of approximately US$244 million based on a BTC price of US$46,000.
Mining Operations
- Nearly 11,000 new Bitcoin miners capable of over 1 EH/s have been received or are in transit.
- Commenced production at The Bunker in the City of Sherbrooke, Québec, adding capacity of 12 MW with the installation of over 3,000 new miners, adding over 300 PH/s to Bitfarms’ online hashrate.
- Acquired an additional location, known as Garlock, in the City of Sherbrooke, to develop an 18 MW facility intended to replace the existing de la Pointe facility scheduled to be retired in February 2023.
- Neared completion of the first 16 MW of capacity at the Leger site in Sherbrooke, which is scheduled to be online within a week. When operational, Leger will immediately utilize over 4,000 new miners and add more than 400 PH/s to Bitfarms’ online hashrate.
- Installed 1,400 used Bitcoin miners at the Company’s Paraguay farm, bringing hashrate at this farm to 105 PH/s as of today.
$100 Million BTC-Backed Credit Facility
On March 31, 2022, the Company made an additional draw of US$40 million from its US$100 million credit facility with Galaxy Digital LLC, originally announced on December 31, 2021 (the “March Draw”). This is a revolving, multi-draw credit facility that automatically renews annually. Bitfarms made an initial US$60 million draw on December 30, 2021, with a six-month term at an interest rate of 10.75% per annum, and the March Draw is provided on the same terms.
“The additional US$40 million has been drawn as part of our diversified financing strategy and is one source of non-dilutive capital to fund our 2022 growth plan,” said Jeff Lucas, CFO of Bitfarms.
Grant of Options
On March 31, 2022, options to purchase an aggregate of 120,000 common shares were granted to an officer pursuant to the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan. The Options are exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price of CAD$4.71 per share for a period of five years from the date of grant and are subject to vesting conditions.

File Pic: Housing Minister Darragh O' Brien TD, Fianna Fáil
Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien has admitted that retirees will have to dip into their pensions in order to pay rent in the future.
The Fianna Fáil (FF) politician made the comments in a memo that was reported on yesterday by The Irish Independent.
The memo, which was brought before Cabinet on Tuesday, said the government's new auto-enrolment pension scheme will be 'particularly important' as home ownership rates decline.
"An increasing number of older people will need sufficient income to meet rental costs during their retirement years," the memo read.
When asked for comment, Minister O'Brien responded that people 'can interpret what was in the memo in whichever way they wish.'
"The idea that this is framed in a way that is simply looking at increasing pension coverage so that people can pay their rent into the future is not correct," he added.
When he was asked if the government is worried that an ageing population will have to use their pensions to pay rents, Minister O' Brien said that 'of course' the government would have to look at it.
Minister O' Brien isn't the only FF politician facing questions: An Taoiseach Micheál Martin came under fire during Leader’s Questions in the Dáil from Social Democrats co-leader Catherine Murphy, who claimed that people will be 'forced to raid their pension funds' to pay rent in their 60s.
Ms Murphy asked: "If anyone thinks the answer to the housing crisis of 2022 is modest pensions that will accrue to people in 20 or 30 or 40 years from now, is it any wonder we’re in the mess we’re in?"
In related news, Minister O' Brien has said that emergency powers may have to be used to provide as many as 35,000 extra homes for Ukrainian refugees.

One key to market success is learning to recognize trends, overall directions that stocks are taking, and then riding those trends towards profitable returns. Sometimes, that task is easy; for instance, the five years from 2017 through the end of 2021 saw a prolonged run on generally increasing values. Sometimes, it’s more difficult; take a look at the charts for 2022 year-to-date and you’ll quickly see that there is no long-term direction of movement here.
CNBC’s Jim Cramer, however, believes that this year’s volatility will ease, and markets will move back toward a secular growth trend. This won’t necessarily affect all stocks – some will remain highly cyclical, and Cramer recommends avoiding those.
Cramer recommends to focus on stocks showing signs of a long-term overarching bullish trend. These are the secular growth stories, stocks that are relatively immune to economic cycles, and will likely not be impeded as the Fed move onward with interest rates hikes.
Cramer’s not alone in his conviction on secular growth. Wall Street’s analysts have picked out a number of equities that are poised to benefit from a secular shift into growth. Using the data tools at TipRanks, we’ve pulled up the details on two of these picks – each gets a Strong Buy from the Street’s analysts, and shows a hefty potential upside. Let’s take a closer look.
AvidXchange Holdings (AVDX)
We’ll start with AvidXchange. This company offers AI-automated accounts payable software and payment solutions to mid-market enterprise customers. AvidXchange boasts over 8,000 such customers, who have used the platform to transfer payments to more than 825,000 suppliers. In 2021, the company processed over 62.5 million transactions, totaling more than $180 billion.
These are remarkable totals for the Charlotte-based company. AvidXchange got its start back in 2000, and has grown steadily since then. It went public in 2021, with an IPO that saw 26.5 million shares made available to the public. The opening price, $25 per share, was above the originally expected $21 to $23, and the total shares sold was 4.5 million higher than had been forecast. In all, the IPO raised $660 million in gross proceeds.
Since going public, the company has released two sets of quarterly financial results, for Q3 and Q4 of 2021. In that time, the company recorded a revenue increase from $65.2 million to $69.3 million. Year-over-year, the Q4 number was reported to be 31% higher than 4Q20. For all of 2021, the company showed total revenues of $248.4 million, up 33% from 2020.
These revenue gains were fueled by increases in several important metrics. In Q4, the total transactions processed grew 15% year-over-year, while the payment volume grew 37%. The company registered 62.5 million transactions in 2021, up 18% from 2020, and showed an annual total payment volume of $52.1 billion, up 37% y/y.
Covering AvidXchange for equity research firm Wolfe Research, 5-star analyst Darrin Peller sees this company poised to take advantage of a business sector that has plenty of room for expansion – in short, AvidXchange is ready for a secular growth run.
“Considering commercial checks still comprise approximately 40%-50% of B2B payments among mid-market businesses, we believe AVDX is optimally positioned to participate in the long-term secular growth theme of B2B payment digitization. Substantial opportunity remains to capture incremental volume within its existing customer base, add new customers and payment rails, and expand its proprietary AvidPay network (8,000+ buyers/825,000suppliers). Despite industry high digital payment adoption rates across its supplier network, we argue there are several misunderstood nuances, leading us to believe that monetization rates and TPV captured from existing buyers are well below their potential,” Peller opined.
This, in addition to a founder-led team comprised of B2B payment and SaaS veterans, gives us conviction that AVDX will remain a LT leader in its mid-market niche,” the analyst summed up.
In line with these bullish comments, Peller rates AVDX an Outperform (i.e. Buy), and his $14 price target suggests it has room for ~76% growth in the coming year. (To watch Peller’s track record, click here)
Overall, all 8 of AVDX’s recent analyst reviews are positive, giving this stock a unanimous Strong Buy consensus rating. The stock is selling for $7.94, and its $14.25 average price target implies it has ~79% upside ahead of it. (See ADVX stock forecast on TipRanks)
Doximity (DOCS)
The second secular growth stock we’ll look at here, Doximity, provides a physician-oriented professional networking platform and tools in the healthcare industry. Users can connect and network with their colleagues, catch up on medical news, send message via a HIPAA-secure app, and even accept video phone calls from patients. The platform works through a smartphone app, and Doximity boasts that 80% of US physicians are on the network, along with 50% of nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
Doximity went public last year in a blockbuster IPO. On June 24, the company put 23.3 million shares on the market, at $26 each, and saw its share value pop up 58% in the first day’s trading, to close at $53. The event brought in approximately $606 million in gross capital for Doximity.
Early in February, Doximity released financial results for its Q3 of fiscal year 2022 – the quarter ending this past December 31. For the quarter, the company reported net revenue retention of 171%, which supported total quarterly revenue growth of 67% year-over-year. The top line reached $97.9 million. Doximity’s non-GAAP diluted EPS came in at 29 cents per share, up from 19 cents in fiscal Q2 – which in its turn was up from 11 cents in fiscal Q1. In its first three quarterly reports as a public entity, Doximity has seen EPS grow 163%.
Leerink analyst Stephanie Davis, who recently spoke with company management on Doximity’s path forward, writes: “DOCS outlined a sustainable, multi-year shift towards digital ad spend that is fueling the company’s secular story. While the digitization of the pharma ad wallet has been many years in the making, the pandemic served as a much-needed push for the industry, with no turning back—DOCS believes the market will double in the coming decade… DOCS remains one of our top picks for the year due to this dependable growth trajectory…”
Davis uses these comments to support her Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating on the stock, while her $72 price target implies that DOCS has room to run ~39% in the next 12 months. (To watch Davis’ track record, click here)
Davis in no outlier on this stock. The Street’s analysts have put 9 reviews of DOCS on record, and those include 8 Buy against just 1 Hold – giving this tech firm its Strong Buy consensus rating. Share are priced at $51.93, and their $69 average price target suggests a one-year upside of 33%. (See DOCS stock forecast on TipRanks)

CHICAGO, April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBank Chicago) today announced three program offerings designed to address critical affordable housing and community economic development needs in Illinois and Wisconsin. Two new programs target affordable housing development and access, while an enhanced capacity building program will bring needed support to small businesses.
"Our 2022 Targeted Community Lending Plan identified opportunities for additional investment in the diverse communities we serve throughout Illinois and Wisconsin," said Katie Naftzger, Vice President, Community Investment Officer, FHLBank Chicago. "To improve outcomes and expand access to opportunities for new housing developers, homebuyers, and small businesses, we are bringing new resources to the table. Our three new programs will create lasting impact for individuals and communities and increase scale in the marketplace, from which all FHLBank Chicago member financial institutions will benefit, as well."
The Community First® Diverse Developer Initiative and the Community First® Housing Counseling Resource Program offer grants and support to bring diverse and underserved developers and homebuyers into the housing market. FHLBank Chicago will also shift its existing Community First® Capacity-Building Grant Program to focus on small businesses in 2022, with the rollout of the new Community First® Accelerate Grants for Small Business. This program will provide flexible grant funds to strengthen small businesses located in Illinois and Wisconsin.
In total, FHLBank Chicago has committed $11.25 million to support these programs for three years (2022-2024). These programs reflect an ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and will deliver lasting impact for individual beneficiaries, members, and their communities. Since 1989, FHLBank Chicago has awarded more than $790 million in grants and funds to help provide housing for low- and moderate-income eligible households and to support small businesses. These new programs will broaden that support.
"We continue to innovate and create new programs to address the needs of our members' communities across Illinois and Wisconsin," said Michael Ericson, President and CEO of FHLBank Chicago. "These new voluntary programs build on the success of our Affordable Housing Program General Fund, Downpayment Plus®, the Community First® Fund, the Community First® Capacity-Building Grant Program and the Community First® Disaster Relief Program. This is just one more way the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago fulfills its mission to support our members' community investment activities."
Community First® Diverse Developer Initiative
The Community First® Diverse Developer Initiative (Diverse Developer Initiative) will provide grant funds to support career/talent development initiatives for diverse developers of affordable housing in Illinois and Wisconsin. This program grew out of discussions with FHLBank Chicago's Community Investment Advisory Council, a group of industry leaders in Illinois and Wisconsin that informs FHLBank Chicago's affordable housing and community lending strategy. The Advisory Council's Racial Equity Working Group identified a critical need for resources to advance diversity and equity within the affordable housing development industry.
"It is inspiring to see the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago not only leading initiatives to support equity and inclusion, but doing so in a creative and intentional manner that is tied to tangible, objective goals and outcomes," said Kevin Newell, founder and CEO of Royal Capital. "I'm confident that this Diverse Developer Initiative will serve as a playbook for future efforts to increase minority representation in housing development and improve the landscape and trajectory of our communities."
Eligible beneficiary organizations include, but are not limited to: Diverse development firms seeking to expand expertise; Talent development programs dedicated to increasing diversity within the affordable housing industry; Trade/professional associations that support diverse developers; and Established development firms seeking to offer internship opportunities to diverse developers. Grant funds may be used to support diverse developers in one of three tracks: Internships, Training, or Mission-Driven Investments. The competitive application round for the Diverse Developer Initiative will open Monday, April 4, and close on Friday, May 13.
Community First® Housing Counseling Resource Program
The Community First® Housing Counseling Resource Program (Housing Counseling Resource Program) will provide grants to housing counseling agencies in Illinois and Wisconsin to facilitate expanded service to minority and low- and moderate-income homebuyers. Two FHLBank Chicago housing associates, Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA), will administer the Housing Counseling Resource Program on behalf of FHLBank Chicago.
Eligible beneficiary organizations include HUD-approved housing counseling organizations in Illinois and Wisconsin. The organizations can use grant funds for capacity-building activities that expand organizational reach to minority and low- and moderate-income homebuyers, including but not limited to: Marketing and outreach activities; Program staffing (e.g., hiring an additional housing counselor or a bilingual staff person, allocating a percentage of staff time to working in underserved communities, etc.); and Technology upgrades that facilitate expanded service to these underserved populations.
"IHDA is committed to removing barriers and making housing safe, affordable, and stable for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, or income," said IHDA Executive Director Kristin Faust. "The Housing Counseling Resource Program will provide vital education and resources to assist households that continually think homeownership is out of reach. IHDA is proud to partner with FHLBank Chicago to make the dream of homeownership a reality in communities throughout the state."
Community First® Accelerate Grants for Small Business
FHLBank Chicago will also roll out the Community First® Accelerate Grants for Small Business (Accelerate Grants) in 2022, as a pivot from its previous Community First® Capacity-Building Grant Program focused on nonprofit community lenders. Accelerate Grants will provide flexible grant funds to strengthen small businesses located in Illinois and Wisconsin. The application round will open on Monday, August 1 and close on Friday, September 9.

IN a bid to ease traffic congestion, the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) will be rolling out its multimillion-dollar automated tolling system.
Speaking about this new initiative, DHB General Manager Wayne Watson said that a pilot phase of the system, which started in February this year with a few selected vehicles, went well, thus inspiring the move to officially roll out the system to the public from today.
According to Mr. Watson, commuters will only be required to pay their toll via a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, which will be placed on the front of their vehicles, and on their mobile phones.
Bridge commuters, he said, will be registered to a database, and they will need to have funds in their mobile money account.
The magnetic RFID tag, he explained, will be placed on the vehicle, and when it approaches the toll station on the eastern end of the bridge, the system’s sensors will identify the commuter’s vehicle, using the tag, and the toll will be deducted automatically.
He noted that with this system, different tags will be created for different vehicles, whether cars, trucks or vans.
Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police (ag) Clifton Hicken, who visited the bridge on Thursday, was pleased to point out that there was a relatively smooth flow of traffic on both the eastern and western end of the bridge during the peak hours, with no visible signs of the usual traffic congestion.
This, he said, is an indication that the current strategy is working, in terms of opening two lanes of traffic (double lane) going east – (West Bank to East Bank across the bridge) from 06:00hrs to 07:00hrs. A second opening for two-lane traffic will depend on the traffic situation on both sides of the bridge.
Following the meeting, Commissioner Hicken and his team did a brief inspection of the new police outpost located at the eastern end of the DHB.
Watson related that the police outpost is to aid in the prevention and detection of crime, and to enhance the monitoring of any traffic situation in the area.
He said, too, that the DHB administration has also donated a motorcycle to the police, which is already being used by traffic ranks to execute their duties in and around the bridge area.
MORE TRAFFIC RANKS
In an effort to further boost the Force’s traffic strategy, Traffic Chief Ramesh Ashram said more traffic ranks will be visible at specific points along the road to assess the traffic situation, and in the event of a build-up or congestion, a decision will be taken to open up an extra lane to ease the flow of traffic. Also, more traffic cones will be placed at strategic points on the road to aid in the free flow of traffic.
“The new arrangement entails having more ranks on the ground to constantly monitor the traffic situation, and any buildup of the traffic on either side; that information will be passed upwards, and can trigger a double lane… The idea is to move the traffic, and not get it stagnated on either side of the bridge,” the Traffic Chief said.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (NYSE: BHVN), today announced that data from a Phase 1, single-center, open-label study evaluating the excretion of a single dose of rimegepant 75 mg in the human milk of healthy lactating women was published in the peer-reviewed journal, Breastfeeding Medicine, the official journal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine.
This study is particularly important as migraine affects more than 30 million women in America and is the most common cause of disability among women of reproductive age (15 – 49 years).1,2 Often for women with migraine, attacks may subside during pregnancy but resume within 4 weeks of childbirth.3 Given a lack of science-based information about migraine medication for nursing mothers, women are often apprehensive about taking their migraine medications while breastfeeding.
The results of the study showed that excretion of rimegepant into human milk is very low and rimegepant was safe and well tolerated by lactating women. It was estimated that on a weight-adjusted basis, a nursing infant would receive <1% of the maternal dose of rimegepant which is much below the commonly cited safety threshold of <10% of the maternal dose. Further, there were no serious adverse events and no participants discontinued the study due to treatment related adverse events.
Robert Croop, M.D., Chief Development Officer - Neurology at Biohaven commented, "This is important data for women of reproductive age with migraine as it provides helpful new information for those who are lactating and wish to breastfeed their infants. Recognizing the lack of available data on migraine medications for breastfeeding women, Biohaven is proud to take a science-based approach by conducting a clinical study in this population."
The study evaluated 12 healthy lactating women who were administered a single-dose of rimegepant 75 mg with a 36-hour follow-up. The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether rimegepant is excreted in human milk after a single 75 mg dose and to determine the concentration–time profiles of rimegepant in the human milk and plasma of healthy lactating women.
Thomas W. Hale, Ph.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Dean for Research at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, noted, "I'm very pleased with the results of this clinical trial. Lactating mothers often end up having to choose between taking a migraine medication or breastfeeding their infant. Many of the questions we receive at the InfantRisk Center are about using migraine medications when breastfeeding. Now, with this research, we can share with lactating mothers that there is clinical data supporting a treatment option during breastfeeding."
Dr. Hale and Teresa Baker, M.D., Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, are coauthors of the publication.
About NURTEC ODT
NURTEC® ODT (rimegepant) is the first and only calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist available in a quick-dissolve ODT formulation that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. The activity of the neuropeptide CGRP is thought to play a causal role in migraine pathophysiology. NURTEC ODT is a CGRP receptor antagonist that works by reversibly blocking CGRP receptors, thereby inhibiting the biologic activity of the CGRP neuropeptide. For more information about NURTEC ODT, visit www.nurtec.com.
Rimegepant is available as Nurtec® ODT in the United States for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine in adults. Biohaven and Pfizer Inc. recently announced a positive opinion by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency recommending the marketing authorization for rimegepant 75 mg for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine. If approved, the trade name will be Vydura™ in the European Union.
Indication
NURTEC ODT orally disintegrating tablets is a prescription medicine that is used to treat migraine in adults. It is for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine. It is not known if NURTEC ODT is safe and effective in children.
Important Safety Information
Do not take NURTEC ODT if you are allergic to NURTEC ODT (rimegepant) or any of its ingredients. Before you take NURTEC ODT, tell your healthcare provider (HCP) about all your medical conditions, including if you:
- have liver problems,
- have kidney problems,
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant,
- breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
Tell your HCP about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
NURTEC ODT may cause serious side effects including allergic reactions, trouble breathing and rash. This can happen days after you take NURTEC ODT. Call your HCP or get emergency help right away if you have swelling of the face, mouth, tongue, or throat or trouble breathing. This occurred in less than 1% of patients treated with NURTEC ODT.
The most common side effects of NURTEC ODT were nausea (2.7%) and stomach pain/indigestion (2.4%). These are not the only possible side effects of NURTEC ODT. Tell your HCP if you have any side effects.
You are encouraged to report side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.

'I don't know if you can watch with your parents!' Harry Styles teases racy scenes in his new films and admits his own accent is 'all over the place' as he comments on Liam Payne's voice
Harry Styles has admitted his new films may be an uncomfortable watch with parents as he teased sexy new scenes in the upcoming releases.
The singer, 28, who has just released a new single As It Was from his third album, and appeared on several radio stations to chat about the track.
While on Capital Radio with Roman Kemp, Harry confessed that the radio host should probably avoid watching his new films My Policeman and Don't Worry, Darling with his mother Shirlie, due to the sizzling sex scenes.
Awks! Harry Styles has admitted his new films may be an uncomfortable watch with parents as he teased sexy new scenes in the upcoming releases
When Roman asked if he is able to 'safely watch', Harry replied: 'I don't know if you can watch either with your parents!'
Harry then sweetly insisted he would star in another movie that was suitable for Roman to watch with his mum.
Roman then asked: But genuinely right, because it's all been written about, there's some pretty saucy scenes in the films yeah?', to which Harry simply said 'yes'.
The former One Direction star was then asked about how they simulate sex during the racier scenes, after the presenter had heard rumours that a deflated netball is used.
NSFW! While on Capital Radio with Roman Kemp, Harry confessed that the radio host should probably avoid watching his new films My Policeman and Don't Worry, Darling with his mother Shirlie
Harry explained: 'I personally had no experience with a netball, I think it depends very much on who you're working with and what the situation is, all I can say from my own experience is that I was very lucky to have a very trusting relationship within the people we were working with and that kind of came first...
'So it was all discussed and all of it was very, kind of, 'ok above the filming, above anything that is happening, it's the cameras, it's me and you, we're doing his together, and we trust each other and if at any point, you know...
'We can stop whenever and all that kind of stuff. I'd never done that before on camera at least I don't think! '
Sizzling: When Roman asked if he is able to 'safely watch', Harry replied: 'I don't know if you can watch either with your parents!'
Aw: Harry then sweetly insisted he would star in another movie that was suitable for Roman to watch with his mum
During the chat, Harry was also asked about his former bandmate Liam Payne's bizarre accent on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars' party on Sunday.
When asked how his own Northern accent has fared over the years, Harry said: 'Well don't think in the time that I just got here, because I only got in yesterday for Coachella rehearsals, so in the space I've been here this trip I think I've survived.
'I think it's a little bit all over the place because I'm from up north and I've lived in London for 10 years and I've spent a lot of time in America and stuff and I think when I'm with Americans they don't think I sound American at all...
'And then I think sometimes when I'm with English people they expect me to sound American, I don't think I do, but I try and translate for whoever I'm with!'
Woah! The interviews came hours after Harry dropped the music video for his new single, which sent fans wild as he stripped down to a pair of red underpants
Harry also admitted that he considers himself to be a 'musician first' before an actor, but he is grateful for his film experience because it is something he loved at school.
He said: 'I always really loved it and in this context it's been a really nice opportunity for me to get very much out of my comfort zone and start again, it's been a lot of fun.'
The interviews came hours after Harry dropped the music video for his new single, which sent fans wild as he stripped down to a pair of red underpants.
The singer and actor also spoke to BBC Radio 2's Zoe Ball about finally releasing the single, as he said Harry's House is the 'favourite thing' he has made so far.
Speaking about the album, which is released on May 20, he told Zoe: 'I'm really, really proud of it. And I think obviously all of us went through something during the pandemic and everything.
Next up! The singer and actor also spoke to BBC Radio 2's Zoe Ball about finally releasing the single, as he said Harry's House is the 'favourite thing' he has made so far
'I think for me personally it was the first time I'd really been forced to pause and I think obviously it gave me a chance to work out who I was away from music, as a friend, a son, a brother, all those things. Being able to put a little more, I guess, just adjust the balance of my life a little bit, gave me a chance to make music from a different place than I think I'd been making it from in the past and I felt a lot freer and a lot less afraid of anything.
'I think that's a really exciting place to make music from, so more than ever before I'd say the reward has been in the process for me, so I feel very much like I've kind of achieved everything I want to achieve with this album already so everything from this point on just feels very exciting.'
He also revealed the voice heard at the beginning of As It Was is that of his goddaughter Ruby Winston, who is the daughter of Ben Winston - the executive producer of The Late Late Show With James Corden.
Before chatting with Zoe, Harry appeared on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Greg James, however he did initially suffer some technical setbacks.
Don't insult me! Moments before Harry appeared on the show, he sent Greg a text informing him that he could hear him as he warned him not to say anything insulting
Moments before Harry appeared on the show, he sent Greg a text informing him that he could hear him as he warned him not to say anything insulting.
During his busy morning, Harry joined Amanda and Jamie Theakston on the Heart FM breakfast show via video link, leaving the BGT judge very flustered.
During the interview, Harry said: 'I just wanted to let you know, there's a song on my last album called Golden and whenever we sing it in rehearsal we replace Golden with Amanda Holden.'
Cute: During his busy morning, Harry joined Amanda and Jamie Theakston on the Heart FM breakfast show via video link, leaving the BGT judge very flustered
Amanda instantly blushed and replied: 'Oh my god! Can we make sure we edit that bit up please?'
Jamie made sure to ask for proof to which Harry replied: 'Yeah I'll get you a copy.'
Amanda managed to pull herself together and finish off the interview by saying: 'I love that Harry, thank you!'
She later tweeted: 'Well @Harry_Styles made my morning.'

Stopping the next major coronavirus variant involves knowing where it might come from.
With Omicron, those answers are still a mystery: How did a variant that looked so different from all its older cousins appear so suddenly? How to explain its jumble of mutations, many of which had rarely been seen in variants of interest?
"When that virus sequence first started to emerge, it was really hard for me to fathom that that would take off," Emory University virologist Mehul Suthar said.
The alphanumeric soup has also revealed BA.2, a faster-spreading subtype of Omicron that has become dominant in the United States.
Viruses change all the time, often in ways that actually hurt their chances at survival. But once in a while, those mutations can work out in the virus' favor.
Catch my drift?
The virus you sneeze or cough out may be ever so slightly different from the one you were infected with.
That's because viruses mutate -- especially when their genetic code is made of RNA, a close cousin of our DNA.
"As the virus reproduces itself, there are errors in reproducing its code," explained Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of World Health Organization's health emergencies program, in a March briefing. "Most of those errors result in a virus that's either not competent or just dies away."
But rarely, these accidents can give the virus an advantage. Perhaps it becomes more contagious. Or perhaps it becomes better at escaping our immunity.
Sarah Cobey, associate professor of ecology and evolution at the University of Chicago, explained in an op-ed in the New York Times this week that the coronavirus' transmissibility will hit a ceiling -- eventually. However, it probably won't stop evolving in ways that skirt our immune response.
But not all mutations happen the same way.
"Before Omicron, I think most people in the field would say that we would see immune escape through the accumulation of these mutations one by one," Cobey told CNN.
Over time and over the course of hundreds of infections, circulating viruses move further and further away from their ancestors on the evolutionary tree. It's a process known as antigenic drift.
However, while this may explain variants that appear closer on the evolutionary tree -- like Omicron and its BA.2 offshoot -- it doesn't explain how Omicron appeared in the first place.
"Omicron took everyone by surprise," Cobey said.
Marietjie Venter, a professor in the Department of Medical Virology at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, said it's unlikely that a "slow change" led to Omicron.
This would mean the virus evolved gradually in a population that wasn't being monitored. And South Africa, where many of Omicron's early samples were identified, has a good surveillance program, she said.
Thus, it would have been hard for a variant like Omicron to sneak up slowly. Instead, its appearance seemed curiously abrupt.
"Delta almost disappeared, and then suddenly we saw Omicron that was completely different," Venter said.
Shifting gears
In some cases, viruses don't drift; they shift.
"Antigenic shift" is a more dramatic change that can happen, for example, when viruses in animals find their way to humans or when two strains infect the same person and exchange genes.
Examples of the latter include rare instances of a hybrid virus containing stretches of Delta and Omicron genes.
Researchers at Helix, a company whose Covid-19 tests have helped track a number of variants, identified a handful of combined Delta-Omicron infections in the US among nearly 30,000 coronavirus samples from late November to mid-February, when both variants were circulating.
Of those samples, researchers identified 20 cases in which people had gotten infected by both variants at the same time. One of these samples did show some evidence that the variants had exchanged genes, though at low levels. In addition, the researchers found two unrelated cases whose infections originated from hybrid viruses.
"There is currently no evidence that the two Delta-Omicron recombinant viruses identified are more transmissible between hosts compared to the circulating Omicron lineages," the researchers wrote.
"We're not calling this Deltacron," Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO's technical lead on Covid-19, said at the March briefing. "That's not terminology that we are using."
At the time, Van Kerkhove said this combination appeared to be circulating "at very low levels" but she offered the caveat that we should be testing more to get a clearer picture of its prevalence and spread -- or lack thereof.
Still, the ability to swap genes has driven the re-emergence of multiple viruses, most prominently influenza.
Influenza's genetic material is made up of multiple segments of RNA that can shuffle back and forth when two viruses co-infect the same cell. This is known as reassortment.
But the coronavirus "can actually do something that is even harder for us to wrap our heads around," Cobey explained, referring to a gene-swapping process called recombination.
Unlike influenza, the coronavirus has one long strand of RNA as its genetic code. When two strains infect the same cell, their replication machinery may occasionally hop from one strain to the other. This creates random "breakpoints" in its genetic code that are stitched together.
Whereas influenza shuffles whole cards, in a sense, each coronavirus has just one card -- but it's an extra-long one, and it can be cut up and taped back together in a variety of ways.
This means the virus has "a lot more evolutionary space that can be explored pretty quickly," Cobey said.
In the op-ed, she and her co-authors describe how we may have seen only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the number of possible mutations the virus can sustain and still be able to infect human cells.
Though it's unclear whether recombination is more likely than other pathways to generate the next variant of concern, Cobey said that Omicron in particular has lit a fire under scientists to understand its origins and the true breadth of viable mutations.
"That's the sort of divergence that is really difficult to study and anticipate in the lab," she said.
The mystery of Omicron
No single explanation seems to neatly fit Omicron's backstory. But experts are circling several theories that may explain its sudden appearance last year.
The most popular view appears to involve an infection that sticks around for a long time in an immunocompromised person.
"They actually develop antibodies, but they don't clear the virus," said Venter, who also chairs WHO's Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens.
That gives the virus plenty of time to accumulate changes, potentially ones that enable it to dodge that person's antibodies and acquire immune resistance.
Another theory is known as reverse zoonosis, Venter added. This refers to humans infecting an animal population, where the virus accumulates new mutations before jumping back to humans. (Indeed, this coronavirus has spread widely among the animal kingdom.)
Staying ahead of the virus isn't just a question of anticipating its next move, experts say. It's about finding ways to avoid threats and ultimately ensure the durability of our vaccines.
And it's not just this virus.
"Most of the pathogens that are infecting us repeatedly are able to do that because they're escaping some of our immunity to previous infecting strains," Cobey said.
"Viral evolution is actually a real problem in our lives that we maybe don't recognize formally as such."

431,000 jobs were added in March, according to numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.
The added jobs brought the unemployment rate down to a pandemic-era low of 3.6%.
Economists had estimated more jobs would be added in March.
Job growth was especially strong in the leisure and hospitality sector, as well as in professional and business services.
Hourly wages increased 0.4% from the previous month, which is about what economists expected.
The average hourly pay is about 5.6% higher than it was one year ago.

Last year at around this time, oddsmakers examined the Vikings from all angles and arrived at an over-under win total projection of 8.5.
In a 17-game season, that put Minnesota squarely in middle ground. Bet the over, and you thought the Vikings would go at least 9-8. Bet the under, you were banking on 8-9.
The Vegas number turned out to be quite accurate, as it often is, as 8-9 was the final record.
Massive changes ensued. The Vikings fired head coach Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman. New systems were promised. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O'Connell were hired. A collaborative culture was born.
But ... the roster remained largely intact. Kirk Cousins stayed. So did Danielle Hunter. Other key veteran contracts were restructured.
When Vegas took a fresh look at the Vikings this year, adding up the cumulative weight of all that is new and all that is not new, they arrived at a familiar place in odds released Thursday: an over-under number of 8.5 wins, just like last year.
Yes, the exact midpoint, the equivalent of winning eight, losing eight and tying one in this 17-game NFL schedule.
It makes sense. The Vikings won eight games last year, have averaged 8.3 wins during the Kirk Cousins era and have a lot of holdovers.
If they really are going to break free from mediocrity, it will come from Adofo-Mensah and O'Connell cashing in a substantial bet on themselves (metaphorically, not in the kind of way that would get them suspended like Calvin Ridley).
The only thing that is substantially different about these Vikings is how they are setting out to deploy a lot of the same players.
Adofo-Mensah has made some smart moves on the margins, including bringing back corner Patrick Peterson on a much cheaper deal than the one Peterson signed a year ago.
O'Connell has a chance to leverage the Vikings' offensive skill position players in new ways while also having a hand in a defense that will look and play differently from how it looked for so many years under Zimmer.
I don't know if I would take the over or under on the 2022 win total, but I do know this: I would bet on a lot more roster changes in 2023 if this doesn't work out.

(NewsNation) — Bruce Willis’ aphasia diagnosis was made public by his family Wednesday, but new reporting suggests the 67-year-old actor’s health decline, which caused him to step away from acting, was affecting his work on set for years.
Actress Lala Kent, who played Willis’ daughter in the 2020 film “Hard Kill,” told the Los Angeles Times that in one scene they had together, Willis’ character had to protect her from villains.
Her back was to Willis in the scene, and the actor was supposed to deliver a line serving as Kent’s cue to duck before he fired the weapon at a movie “bad guy.”
But Willis ended up shooting the gun, which was filled with a blank, before delivering his line, and Kent didn’t duck.
The same thing happened on the second take. A crew member on set confirmed Kent’s claims, telling the Los Angeles Times that Willis “did fire the gun on the wrong line.”
The film’s armorer denied this happened, but other filmmakers who worked with Willis on his latest projects also said they were alarmed by his condition.
Aphasia can cause varying degrees of impairment in speech or understanding language. It currently affects more than 2 million Americans, the National Aphasia Association estimates.
Concerns about Willis’ health didn’t translate to him making fewer movies, though — he just had less work on set.
“Out of Death” director Mike Burns wrote an email to his screenwriter, asking him to cut down the movie stars’ part, and they filmed all of Willis’ scenes in one day.
Burns made another movie with Willis the next year, after being assured the actor was in better health.
But Burns told the Times that he didn’t end up thinking Willis did bitter.
“I thought he was worse,” he told the newspaper.
Another filmmaker said in the Los Angeles Times that he was so concerned about Willis’ mental state that he approached the actor’s team. They told him it would be best to finish filming early.
Two crewmembers said Willis, while on set, asked them, “Why am I here?”
Many are wondering if Willis was using a body double, being fed lines through an earpiece or had scenes shortened. They also want to know why no one from his team stepped in earlier.

Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreyev has announced that all Russian diplomats who had been ordered to leave Poland have already left the territory of the Republic of Poland - diplomatic ministry spokesman Lukasz Jasina told PAP on Monday.
Russian diplomats have left Poland
Foreign Ministry spokesman Lukasz Jasina said on Wednesday that the Russian diplomats and specified staff had been ordered to leave Poland within five days. The expulsion of 45 people from the diplomatic staff of the Russian embassy was requested by the Interior Ministry. It concerned people who conducted intelligence activities in Poland under so-called diplomatic cover.
Jasina told the Polish Press Agency on Monday that the Russian ambassador to Poland had informed that all Russian diplomats who had been ordered to leave Polish territory had already done so. The Foreign Ministry spokesman added that he was waiting for information from the Polish embassy in Moscow on the possible expulsion of Polish diplomats from Russia as a form of retaliation.
Last Wednesday, a spokesman for the minister coordinator of special services Stanislaw Żaryn explained that the expelled were Russian service officers and their collaborators who officially had diplomatic status.
Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreyev was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday. After leaving the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he told journalists that he had been informed of the Polish authorities’ decision to expel Russian diplomats from Poland. The representative of the Russian Federation maintained that - in his opinion - there were no grounds for such a decision and announced „retaliatory measures”.

The British wife of a Ukrainian-born woman has said the UK’s visa scheme “completely took away the humanity” of her relatives fleeing the conflict and included a four-year-old being asked: “Are you a terrorist?”
Emily Radford, from Sheffield, said her wife of 14 years, whose name she did not want included, was born and grew up in Kyiv but has held British citizenship since 2011.
She has been living in Poland for more than three weeks with her cousin and her cousin’s children while they await the outcome of their visa applications through the Ukraine Family Scheme.
Ms Radford, 39, stayed at home in Sheffield but helped the group through the application process which states you are eligible for a UK visa if you are joining a UK-based family member.
“It’s been very dehumanising,” the civil servant, told the PA news agency.
“This is a visa programme, but it’s a visa programme in response to a humanitarian crisis.
“Three weeks for the family visa – these are people with connections… there is even a family member who has gone to fetch them.
“It’s insane to me.”
The group, which includes four children aged 17, 12, eight and four, had their visas approved on Wednesday, having made the applications in Warsaw more than three weeks ago.
“They’ve treated what are primarily women and children as threats first rather than people to help,” Ms Radford said.
“That’s not to say that if it was men it would be different – maybe it would, maybe it wouldn’t.
“But it’s women and kids… I had to answer for a four-year-old: ‘Are you a terrorist? Have you ever been in the armed forces?’
“Why are you asking those questions? It should literally just be: ‘Are you a child? Who is your mum? OK, we’ll sort you out when you’re here and we can have questions with you then if we need to.’”
They have been staying in various hostels across Poland since Ms Radford’s wife went to collect them from eastern Kyiv on Friday March 11.
“It’s just been a very long and confusing journey, the only concrete information we’ve had has been from volunteers,” Ms Radford said.
“I know they haven’t got passports but we’re talking about one adult and kids… They aren’t a security threat, it’s a four-year-old boy and eight-year-old girl.”
Ms Radford also explained how the experience has been for the group waiting on the outcome of their visa applications.
“The past week has been the worst for them, being bounced from accommodation to accommodation, not knowing how long they’re going to be there,” she said.
“Just something simple, like the kids have got nothing to do… That’s really hard, when you’re staying in one room.
“They’re pretty sick of each other… I think the choice of making a visa programme is bringing order to chaos but it completely took away the humanity of everyone.”
She also spoke of what her wife has made of the last three weeks.
“She said that the Polish people have been wonderful, but as soon as she interacted with British bureaucracy, she felt terrible, which is really hard for me to hear as a British person.”
Ms Radford said it has been “hard to imagine” the reality of war in Ukraine.
“I think it’s just so hard for us Brits to imagine,” she said.
“I’ve been to Kyiv quite a few times, it’s been a few years… I can’t say there’s any place that I’ve recognised being bombed.
“But you know, I know what they are, I know where they are… There’s a lot of anger that it could be happening.”
Ms Radford hopes her Ukrainian relatives will be able to fly to the UK on Friday, where they will join herself and her wife in Sheffield.
More than four million refugees have fled Ukraine since Russia launched its war, according to the UN refugee agency.
Asked for a response to Ms Radford’s claims, a Government spokesperson said: “We are moving as quickly as possible to ensure that those fleeing Ukraine can find safety in the UK through the Ukraine Family Scheme and Homes for Ukraine.
“We continue to speed up visa processing across both schemes, with 25,500 visas issued in the last three weeks alone and thousands more expected to come through these uncapped routes.
“While we have streamlined the process, simplified our forms and boosted case worker numbers, vital security checks are needed to protect our borders and the British people from hostile state actors from Russia who would cynically take advantage of the support we are rightly providing to people fleeing Ukraine.”

I am a retired librarian. Dismayed to read in the newspaper this week about the wrangling in the Legislature over the budget allocation for the Idaho Commission for Libraries. The issue is supposedly that public libraries around the state provide “pornography” to minors, and the ICfL needs to be “punished.” This is absolute nonsense with no basis in fact. Public librarians work hard, with limited funding, to provide a wide range of information and other services to all members of their communities. The real issue is that a vocal minority of extreme religious conservatives is using library services as a new “big lie,” just as they have done with election procedures and racial issues. They are trying out “obscenity” as a tool to spread rancor and division in society. I suspect that many of them disapprove of public libraries for the same reason that they disapprove of public schools: both expose young people to the big, bad world. They fear any discussion, at any age, of issues related to sexuality and gender. Their ideas of “pornography” and “obscenity” are so broad that, in order to protect youth, they would really have to censor not just libraries but the Internet, movies, TV, books and all other media. (Does anyone notice the parallels with Islamic societies?) Stay tuned for the meetings of the House Working Group on Obscenity. It will not surprise me if they operate like last year’s lopsided hearings on “indoctrination in schools,” which, of course, cost a lot of money and went nowhere. Give the ICfL adequate funding and let public librarians do their jobs.

10 Ways to Stop Bloating
Most of us have experienced a gassy, uncomfortable gut at least once. In most cases, it’s also quite visible – the expansion of the waist area often accompanies the mentioned sensation.
The balloon belly effect occurs after a large meal or gas-producing food consumption.
While it’s the primary trigger to most of those who experience bloating, a part of the population faces this problem chronically.
Bloating is also known for causing unexplainable restlessness, mood swings, weight gain, and severe health conditions. It can affect our productivity levels and overall health tremendously; that’s why it’s essential to act to prevent it.
1. Track down the cause of bloating
It’s easy to spot that we tend to feel gassier after a particular food or beverage.
However, it doesn’t always imply that food is the main source of gas that gets trapped in our guts and creates an uncomfortable feeling.
Several reasons cause gas in your gut that isn’t as noticeable:
- Swallowing excess air
- Food intolerances (for example, lactose intolerance)
- Constipation
- Gut microbiome imbalance
- Stress or anxiety
While some of the causes are easier to avoid (for example, excluding dairy from your diet), it might be hard to prevent stressful events in your life that cause a balloon belly.
Taking care of your gut microbiome before an event like this happens creates an overall better environment for food to move smoothly in your digestive system.
Since processed foods make us feel heavier, gassier, and exhausted, building your diet around foods that aren’t draining your energy levels is essential. You might experience a “mental fog” after consuming a sugary, heavy meal, making it harder to manage stress, anxiety, or simply taking away a portion of focus you’d have in a critical situation.
Swallowing excess air can also seem like a problem without an obvious fix. However, the known solutions require little effort – you can reduce the amount of air you swallow by eating your meals more slowly, avoiding carbonated drinks, skipping the chewing gum, or quitting smoking.
2. Include more fiber in your diet
We should all consider incorporating fiber into our diet to have a healthy gut. Soluble fiber acts like a sponge and gets rid of all the buildup sitting in your gut for days. It increases the bulkiness of your stool and softens it, making it easier to pass in your digestive system and decreasing the chance of constipation.
Suppose you feel like you can’t lose weight no matter how hard you try. In that case, the bloated belly sticks with you even when you’re keeping a healthy diet or your bowel movements aren’t as regular as you’d prefer. Consider it a green light to welcome more fiber into your diet.
Here are some natural sources of fiber:
- Fresh fruits (berries, apples) and dried fruits
- Vegetables (avocados, potatoes, broccoli)
- Nuts (chia seeds, almonds, pistachios)
- Whole grains (oat bran, quinoa)
However, consider that even when you switch out your diet, it takes some extra thought when thinking about how to get rid of gas and accumulated waste while eating different foods that don’t contain as much fiber.
An excellent way to start a clean slate and build a thriving foundation for your gut microbiome is by implementing a fiber supplement alongside a fiber-rich diet.
We’d recommend a soluble fiber supplement called ColonBroom. It’s a fiber powder that turns into a strawberry-flavored shake when you mix it with water. While it’s already beneficial for giving you a colon cleanse and getting rid of bloating, it also tastes great for a sugar-free, non-GMO option.
You should consider adding some fiber because it keeps you full for more extended periods of time, making it easier to cut back the snacking habit that leads many of us to bloat since snacks are often high in sugar content.
A feeling of fullness should also aid weight loss if you are looking to trim your waist while reducing bloating at the same time.
3. Exercise regularly
While exercise is often associated with weight loss, it is good for you for many other reasons – think uplifted mood, increased energy levels, and less gas trapped in your gut.
Movement is good for eliminating gas from your digestive system. However, not many people have enough time and energy to break a sweat in the gym every day. And that’s alright – studies show that 10–15 minute walks after meals are enough to reduce bloating.
Try finding your strength in the activity that you enjoy doing. If you’re not a fan of running, consider cycling, walking, dancing, or swimming. An exercise routine that you enjoy should be your goal since if you’re asking how to get rid of bloating, the answer is you have to be consistent with your activity levels.
Moreover, exercise is beneficial for your mental health. No matter how hard the training may be, most people feel emotional relief after physical activity. Reduced stress means reduced bloating!
4. Drink water regularly
There’s a reason they say there’s health in water. Whether you want to target an issue or not, you should always ensure you’re hydrated.
Although water fills us up to a point where we feel bloated, this does not mean you should pass it. Water can reduce bloating by getting rid of excess sodium in your body.
The uncomfortable sensation after drinking water after a heavy meal is something you can alter – try drinking a tall glass of water before a meal. It prevents bloating, boosts satiety, and, therefore, prevents overeating. It is a fantastic life hack for those who want to lose weight.
5. Check for lactose intolerance
There’s a chance your bloat is caused by lactose intolerance. Once we reach adulthood, not all of us have enough enzymes in our bodies to break down the lactose found in dairy products.
In order to pass lactose through your digestive system, your body pulls in more water for lactose to exit your gut. That’s why we experience symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
You might want to consult with your doctor to see if you have lactose intolerance, or you can do it the easier way – try to exclude some dairy products out of your diet to see if you tend to bloat less after the elimination.
Here are some products you should avoid if you’re lactose intolerant:
- Milk
- Cheese
- Cream
- Yogurt
However, some dairy products are low in lactose and won’t cause such severe symptoms. Here are some gut-friendly options:
- Aged cheese
- Probiotic yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Lactose-free milk or milk alternatives
You shouldn’t cut back on dairy products entirely because they are a great source of calcium, zinc, vitamin D, potassium, protein, and magnesium. If you do cut it out of your diet, make sure you’re stocked up with supplements that would give you the nutrients your body needs.
6. Limit foods that cause bloating
Feel like the best tasting meals always cause the worst aftermath in your stomach? That’s precisely the case most of the time – juicy pizzas and sweet cakes taste heavenly. However, due to high sugar or fat content, they make you bloat.
The effect wheat has on your gut is still considered controversial. While whole wheat foods are considered a good source of fiber that keeps your stool moving, foods that contain white flour often give you a rounder belly.
White flour can be found in:
- Pizza
- Biscuits
- Pancakes
- Most cakes
- Pasta
- Bread
For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it causes bloating, gas, diarrhea, or other digestive problems.
If you feel like these dishes make your gut feel uncomfortable after consumption, consider switching them to gluten-free alternatives. Here are some bloat-free wheat sources:
- Pure oats
- Buckwheat
- Quinoa
- Almond or coconut flour for baked goods
7. Switch out your beverages
Nothing compares to a refreshing coke or a beer on a hot summer day. Sadly, nothing compares to your discomfort after seeing your belly grow or getting gassy during an important event.
Carbonated drinks are notorious for making your gut gassy. It contains a high amount of carbon dioxide, which is the gas used for making the drinks bubbly. Some of that gas gets trapped in your digestive system, and that’s why it is often followed up by bloating.
While you may cut back the fizzy drinks, don’t forget that they are used to make alcoholic cocktails – that’s another cause of bloating you should avoid.
Both cocktails and beer are also high in carbon dioxide. While cocktails are not the most gut-friendly due to their high sugar content, beer is a beverage made from fermented carbs, which also impacts the quality of digestion. The contents of these drinks cause bloating – something we usually call a “beer belly.”
The options you’d want to try to avoid a gassy belly are:
- Plain water
- Tea
- Coffee
- Fruit-flavoured still water
If you’re looking for an alcoholic drink that doesn’t contain as much carbon dioxide, try these alternatives:
- White wine
- Red wine
- Spirits
8. Try some natural probiotic sources
Probiotics are live bacteria that support your gut health when you consume them.
There is some mixed evidence if the probiotic supplements are as effective as natural sources of it, hence why we’d recommend implementing products that contain it in the first place.
Probiotics can be naturally found in:
- Kefir
- Kombucha
- Yogurt
- Miso
- Tempeh
- Sauerkraut
The nutrients these foods contain aid digestive symptoms like bloating and reduce overall inflammation and tension in your gut by creating a healthy environment in the digestive tract. It is especially beneficial for those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
9. Reduce the amount of salt you consume
The high salt content in your food contributes to water retention in your digestive system, which makes you bloated.
A lot of salt can be found in products that are also high in fat – fried food such as chips, french fries, and fast food are non-easy-to-digest foods for your gut.
Notice how dehydrated yet bloated we tend to feel after eating such meals? Try to cut back the salt and see if it makes a difference in your waist.
10. Eat smaller portions
It’s easy to munch on a meal without feeling a limit when hungry. However, there are several reasons why you should take it slow and reduce the size of your meals.
To start with, it takes from 15 to 20 minutes for our brain to recognize that we’re already full from a meal.
When we’re rushing while eating, we don’t get to experience satiety the moment we’re done with our meals. That makes us reach out for an additional snack or dessert, which is not the best for you if you want to maintain a healthy gut.
The generous portion may stretch out your stomach, which stores more gas in your gut and causes bloating. The more waste is sitting in your colon, the more gas you’ll have.
Overeating also makes us feel tired, nauseous and prompts weight gain.
As mentioned before, treat yourself to a glass of water before a meal – it will bring a feeling of fullness, stop overeating and prevent bloating.
Also, try dividing the typical three meals a day into six meals while splitting the portions accordingly – it might make your digestion smoother.
The bottom line
The answer to “what causes bloating?” can be found in many different aspects of our lives. It is connected to the way we eat, what we eat, how much movement we get, and how well we feel overall, mentally and physically.
When asked what relieves bloating fast, a healthy diet, daily exercise, and some tips and tricks are the key points. It is essential to check if you have any medical problems regarding your digestion before tailoring a proper diet.
The tips shared in this article should help you keep a healthy gut!

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund (NYSE American: ERH) released information about the sources of today's distribution in a Notice provided to shareholders. The full text of the Notice is available below and on the Allspring Funds website.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
This Notice provides information about the sources of the Fund's monthly distributions. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan.
The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. Sources include net investment income (NII), short-term capital gains (ST), long-term capital gains (LT) and paid in capital. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
The following table provides an estimate of the Fund's distribution sources, reflecting the fiscal year-to- date cumulative amount of distributions. The Fund attributes these estimates equally to each regular distribution throughout the year. Consequently, the estimated information as of the specified month-end shown below is for the current distribution, and also represents an updated estimate for all prior months in the year.
The following table provides information regarding distributions and total return performance over various time periods. This information is intended to help you better understand whether returns for the specified time periods were sufficient to meet distributions.
Additional Disclosures about the Allspring Closed-End Funds
The fund makes distributions in accordance with a managed distribution plan that provides for the declaration of monthly distributions to common shareholders of the fund at an annual minimum fixed rate of 7.0%, based on the fund's average monthly net asset value (NAV) per share over the prior 12 months. Under the managed distribution plan, distributions are sourced from income and also may be sourced from paid-in capital and/or capital gains. The fund's distributions in any period may be more or less than the net return earned by the fund on its investments and therefore should not be used as a measure of performance or confused with yield or income. Distributions in excess of fund returns will cause the fund's NAV to decline. Investors should not draw any conclusions about the fund's investment performance from the amount of its distribution or from the terms of its managed distribution plan.
The quoted distribution rate is a figure that uses the fund's previous distribution to calculate an annualized figure. The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the last distribution and then dividing by the period-ending NAV or market price. Special distributions, including special capital gains distributions, are not included in the calculation.
The Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund is a closed-end equity and high-yield bond fund. The fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income and moderate capital growth with an emphasis on providing tax-advantaged dividend income.
The final determination of the source of all dividend distributions in the current year will be made after year-end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax-reporting purposes will depend upon a fund's investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. Each fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell shareholders how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
For more information on Allspring's closed-end funds, please visit our website.
This closed-end fund is no longer available as an initial public offering and is only offered through broker-dealers on the secondary market. A closed-end fund is not required to buy its shares back from investors upon request. Shares of the fund may trade at either a premium or discount relative to the fund's net asset value, and there can be no assurance that any discount will decrease. The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by the fund may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Equity securities fluctuate in value in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security. Debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality have a much greater risk of default and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities. The fund is also subject to risks associated with any concentration of its investments in the utility sector. Funds that concentrate their investments in a single industry or sector may face increased risk of price fluctuation due to adverse developments within that industry or sector. The fund is leveraged through a revolving credit facility and also may incur leverage by issuing preferred shares in the future. The use of leverage results in certain risks, including, among others, the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and the market price of common shares. Foreign investments may contain more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign market instability, and foreign currency fluctuations. Derivatives involve additional risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk, the risk of improper valuation, and the risk of noncorrelation to the relevant instruments they are designed to hedge or closely track.

BRIDGEPORT — The voicemail at the Monticello Gardens apartment complex on Park Avenue gives no indication anything there has changed.
But last August nearby Sacred Heart University in Fairfield became the landlord, purchasing the prime piece of North End real estate — a pair of 1980s-era buildings on 2.58 acres located 1.1 miles from the school — for just over $3 million, according to municipal tax records.
Local City Council members who are just learning about that change in ownership are worried about the implications for the neighborhood.
“I had no idea and I meet with them (Sacred Heart officials) to discuss issues,” said Councilwoman Michelle Lyons. “I’d like to know where the plans are. This could be classrooms. It could be anything.”
“Are they gonna tear the building down?” said Councilwoman Jeanette Herron. “We don’t know anything.”
Three years ago Lyons, Herron and other colleagues and residents successfully fought a proposal by private developer ABS Capital of Florida to build a $55 million, four story, 179-unit, 600-bed dormitory that would have served Sacred Heart students, but not be owned or run by the school. Zoning commission members voted down the proposal in January 2019.
The university responded to a request for comment with a statement, “From time to time, the university makes strategic real estate acquisitions, and this purchase falls into that category. At this time, there are no specific plans for the property.”
The maximum occupancy at Monticello Gardens is 33, according to city records. While it is not clear if that number refers to the number of units or individuals, most of the units are vacant, according to the university.
“We are working on agreements with the remaining tenants, who currently number in single digits,” stated Sacred Heart’s communications office.
Over the years as Sacred Heart has grown the institution has expanded over the border into Bridgeport’s North End and many students rent housing in that neighborhood. That has created tension between the university, some Bridgeport residents and municipal officials.
When running for reelection in 2019, for example, Mayor Joe Ganim endorsed a controversial zoning proposal aimed at limiting the number of Sacred Heart students residing in the North End. Ganim at the time referred to the area as a “dormitory run amok” though the zoning change was dropped soon after he won the race.
Meanwhile Sacred Heart and its students have cited all of the business and the volunteer hours that community offers to Bridgeport, and students living in the city have also sought to be more politically engaged.
Lyons and Herron said they would have liked to have been alerted sooner about Sacred Heart’s purchase of Monticello Gardens, either from the school or from anyone in City Hall who may have been privy to the transaction.
“This is since August. C’mon. No one was going to tell me?” Lyons said, adding she knew Monticello Gardens was on the market and had hoped following the defeat of the student housing proposal in 2019 to collaborate with the former owners on the site’s future.
“I’m very surprised that we weren’t even given a heads up on this purchase,” Herron said. “As a council person, you would think we should know what development is coming in and who purchased properties that are that size.”
Sacred Heart officials said the property sale “was a matter of public record.”
Charles Willinger is the local zoning attorney who represented ABS Capital in its failed bid to turn Monticello Gardens into student housing. Willinger during that debate in 2018 and 2019 had praised his then-client’s plan as a means of addressing some of the conflicts between SHU and residents in the North End.
Willinger this week noted that, because Sacred Heart is tax exempt, Bridgeport will be missing out on the tax revenues that ABS Capital would have generated, which three years ago was an estimated $2 million annually. ABS had also been willing to submit in writing that it would not sell the Monticello Gardens property to Sacred Heart or any other nonprofit.
“It was my biggest disappointment that the City Council people and ultimately Planning & Zoning Commission denied that development,” Willinger said. “It was designed to resemble kind of like a Gothic Yale University structure, owned privately, fully taxable. It would have been a true asset to the city.”
But, according to Sacred Heart, the university is “currently paying taxes and will continue to do so until a future decision is made about the ultimate use of the property.”

Some 252 farmers had applied for the Pig Exceptional Payment Scheme (PEPS) before the closing date of 20 March, the Department of Agriculture has confirmed.
Payments were made to approximately 105 farmers last week, with another tranche of payments expected to issue to around 50 more farmers this week, the Department told the Irish Farmers Journal.
Pig farmers who produced more than 200 pigs were eligible to apply for payment of between €3,000 and €20,000, depending on the number of pigs sold in 2021.
“The first tranche of payments was made last week, with the remaining applications due for processing as soon as possible,” stated a spokesperson for the Department.
“The remaining applications are still being processed and payments will issue to these as they are processed and any outstanding issues rectified,” the Department said.
€7m package
At 252 applicants, the Department’s figure suggests that no more than €5.04m of the exchequer-funded €7m package will be utilised in direct payments to farmers.
“The scheme was notified to the European Commission under the agriculture de minimis rules, which provide for a maximum payment per undertaking of €20,000,” the Department added in its statement.
There have been no developments in the negotiations between the Irish Farmers' Association and the Department over a proposed €100m rescue package for the pig sector.

A pet grooming business remains closed for the foreseeable future after Sidney councillors withdrew previous support for amendments to the Official Community Plan (OCP) and zoning that would have opened the door for it to operate legally on land zoned industrial.
While council meeting as committee-of-the-whole last week voted to recommend the amendments applied for by Kathy Banks of Pooch Parlour, Mayor Cliff McNeil-Smith and Coun. Scott Garnett switched their votes Monday at council and joined Couns. Barbara Fallot and Terri O’Keeffe in opposing the recommendation.
Council instead passed motions proposed by McNeil-Smith (Garnett, Fallot were opposed) that would rezone the space on Malaview Road West for temporary use, while inviting Banks to apply for a temporary use permit good for one year from its issuance, a process not without costs and bureaucratic hurdles.
According to Sidney staff, the flat fee for a temporary use permit is $1,700. The application review process would include a report to council’s committee-of-the-whole and public hearing, if moved forward.
Banks told Black Press Media council’s decision left her feeling blind-sided.
She already told the municipality she won’t apply for such a permit, she said, as the months-long process could leave her in the same situation a year later.
“I can’t go through this process and this stress every year and hope that they let me do this,” she said. “For me, it’s all or nothing. I either stay for good or I need to find another place that will allow me to be there permanently.”
RELATED: Dog grooming business in Sidney gets a life leash, but reopening months away
That place won’t be in Sidney because of its high commercial rents, she said. She instead plans to close her business for the foreseeable future until she finds an appropriate location elsewhere.
“I don’t think they are hearing that I have nowhere else to go,” she said, questioning Sidney’s support for business. “There is no affordable space for a business like mine in Sidney.” She also questioned the argument that an operation the size of hers amounts to a threat of Sidney’s industrial land base.
Pooch Parlor closed in early March after municipal officials ticketed the business for operating illegally on land zoned M1. Sidney staff became aware of Banks’ non-compliance after she had applied to renew her business license in January, with her new address. Staff told her they could not do so because the proposed use – personal services – did not comply with the location’s M1 industrial zoning, and proceeded to shut her business down.
Banks, for her part, acknowledged she made a mistake sub-leasing the industrial-zoned space before moving her shop from downtown Sidney. This acknowledgement of what she and others have called an honest mistake, coupled with her almost eight-year business tenure in Sidney and an outpouring of public support, likely swayed some councillors before the March 21 decision.
RELATED: Sidney draft OCP set for public input
But a week can be an eternity in politics and council Monday heard from several speakers opposed to the proposed amendments, saying they threaten Sidney’s limited industrial land supply. The timing of the proposal was also questioned.
“On a higher level, I’m really concerned that you are looking at an OCP amendment in the midst of an OCP draft,” said Steve Duck. “We need that industrial land because we continue to incubate small businesses that permeate the Saanich Peninsula.”
Duck echoed earlier comments from John Treleaven supporting a temporary use permit, arguments that ultimately fell on open ears.
Garnett welcomed the additional public input from voices other than supporters of the business.
“That has happened in the past week, even before the public hearing would occur,” he said. Hearing from economic advisory committee member David Calveley (who had spoken during public participation) and chamber of commerce executive director Al Smith gave him a more fulsome perspective on the whole criteria, he added.
“This is a good business owner, operating a good, successful business in our community, who made an honest mistake,” Garnett said, adding that Pooch Parlour’s continued operation in February bothered him somewhat.
“I feel bad for the person, but that can’t come into my decision making,” he said.

(NewsNation) — Rental car company Hertz is under fire from lawmakers after hundreds of customers say they were pulled over by police and told the rental car they were driving had been reported as stolen.
Those customers say they rented their cars legally and paid for them but were arrested and sometimes thrown in jail.
Now, a whistleblower is shedding light on what is going on behind the scenes at the company.
Daniel Stokes worked for Hertz for 11 years from 1996 till 2007 and was a branch and city manager in charge of 24 different Hertz locations.
“Being a city manager and knowing what the processes were and learning more about what actually happens to the people, quite honestly, it pissed me off that knowing that it was still going on,” Stokes told NewsNation investigative reporter Rich McHugh.
Stokes believes the way Hertz is managing this current process is wrong.
“I don’t see how it’s legal,” Stokes said.
He says Hertz should not be involving police in most of these cases, but a collections company, instead.
In cases where customers have rented a car and not returned it on the due date, “Hertz is actually using the police department as a repo company and the court system as a collection company,” Stokes said. “All of these supposed embezzlement by thefts are collection issues. They’re not actual thefts.”
In other cases, he says, the car reported as stolen has already been returned and the customer who returned it late has paid restitution. It’s the next person who rents the car, not knowing the car’s history, that gets in trouble, he said.
“It’s after the fact … people are getting arrested,” Stokes said. “That’s pretty jarring to a person’s life.” And he said that’s because Hertz simply isn’t working with computer systems or record keeping that are rapid enough to clear a car’s history before it’s returned to service, leading innocent people to be falsely arrested.
Stokes said he realized the severity of the problem when this happened to him. He says he was out on medical leave and had a Hertz car. He was arrested, prosecuted for embezzlement and ultimately fired as a result of it. He says he’s coming forward now because he has nothing to gain except for goodwill in telling people about this.
Hertz did not respond to NewsNation’s request for comment regarding Stokes’ claims.
The company has issued the same statement since last year, saying in part: “The vast majority of these cases involve renters who were many weeks or even months overdue returning vehicles and who stopped communicating with us well beyond the scheduled due date.”
Hundreds of people are suing Hertz over accusations of mental and emotional damages, including a former federal agent.
The former agent, who would prefer not to be named due to previous undercover work, said Oklahoma City police handcuffed him a few hours after he rented a car in May 2021. The encounter was captured on bodycam footage.
“I’m thinking to myself, this can’t be happening,” he said.
The former agent was later released but told he might get arrested again.
“I thought, ‘This is insanity,'” he said.
He returned the car the next morning and Hertz refunded his money.
Another man, Julius Burnside, was arrested and spent seven months in jail before a Georgia court, after looking at all the evidence, ruled that Burnside had in fact paid for his rental and dismissed the case entirely.
Francis Malofiy is an attorney representing more than 250 Hertz customers suing the company over false arrest. McHugh caught up with him on Capitol Hill as two senators — Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren — have now asked for a congressional investigation.
“Hertz made it clear that unless a court or Congress makes them change their ways, they’re not going to do so,” Malofiy said. “And that’s why we’ve met with many congressional offices and committees — to get broad support on both sides of the aisle.”
A court has ordered Hertz to turn over a database it was trying to block the release of. That database shows that they have reported about 3,000 cars stolen each year for the past few years.
“If the country knew how our taxpayer dollars and our police systems (are) being used … I promise you, I’m sure more legislators would probably involved in stopping this,” said the former agent.

One inning makes difference in non-conference duel between Mooresville, Shelbyville
MOORESVILLE — A single inning can make a difference, and it certainly did for the Mooresville Pioneers Thursday in an early season showdown with Shelbyville.
After a scoreless first inning, Shelbyville and its high-octane offense, powered by Karissa Hamilton and Kylee Edwards, reeled off five runs at the top of the second.
The Pioneers, struggling to put the ball on the ground, never recovered, though they only allowed one run the rest of the way, losing to the Golden Bears 6-1.
"Just that one inning, that's what hurt us," Mooresville coach Traci Ball said. "We kind of just shut them down after that. They had a good double to center field that got that last run in to make it 6-1. I'll give that up, they earned it. But after that, we kind of cruised. Just that one inning."
Josi Hair a difference maker for Mooresville
Take away that second inning and there wasn't much separation between the two teams. A big reason for that was junior pitcher Josi Hair.
Hair entered the game during the third inning in relief of Alex Cooper. Just one night before in a 14-3 win over Terre Haute South, Hair pitched the entire game, but she didn't show any signs of fatigue. In fact, she managed to keep Shelbyville guessing.

The Golden Bears were only able to score one run on Hair, a double in the fifth. Outside of that, she pitched another solid game. Shelbyville batters only averaged .118 against her with only two hits against.
"Josi Hair came in and she did her job tonight, I'm so happy for her," Ball said. "She came in and kept them off balance and we made the plays we needed. Josi's just different in the aspect where she throws with a lot of movement. I think that's what kept them off balance."
Hair's performance rejuvenated the Pioneers. The team collected itself and responded on the defensive side, holding Shelbyville scoreless outside of that fifth inning run.
"After that inning where we kind of just let everything fall apart, we finally settled down, and when Josie came in, we started making plays," Ball said. "Our defense just played better. We just made the plays."
Less than ideal conditions
Adding to the difficulty of the game was the elements. It was cold, wet, rainy, cloudy. Some players chose to embrace the elements, others threw on team jackets or sweatshirts.

More:IHSAA softball: Class 4A predictions for Martinsville, Mooresville, Decatur Central
The balls had to keep getting switched out because they were either too wet, and needed dried, or however else the elements decided to impact the yellow leather.
All in all, not the most enjoyable weather for a softball match. Fortunately, the Pioneers possess a turf field, so the game was able to go on, but the rain had its impact.
Much of the second inning success of Shelbyville came in a flurry of heavy rain. Players from both squads saw the ball unexpectedly bounce out of their mitts. Some watched it slip out entirely. Not to mention the difficulty it added for pitchers.

More:Here are 10 high school softball games you won't want to miss this season
In any case, for Ball and the Pioneers, the weather was no excuse.
"It was really messy and raining that inning and everything, but it is what it is," Ball said. "And that's what I told them. They're playing in the cold, we're playing in the cold. You gotta suck it up, it's just part of the game."
"I need players that I know, regardless of what's happening, regardless of the elements, that are going to do what they need to do to help the team out," she said.
One out the way, on to the next
Facing a team like Shelbyville so early has its advantages. It gives Ball and the staff an early idea of what they need to work on, especially when coming out on the losing side. It's a nice changeup from the typical early season, non-conference stretch.
"We usually don't (have that type of exposure early), that's what's kind of nice about it," Ball said. "I think this kind of helps the girls realize, hey, we need to get better, we have to do something better. To be able to beat a team like that, we have to be able to handle things like they do."

More:IHSAA basketball: 3 local boys players earn IBCA All-State Honorable Mentions
After Thursday's outing with Shelbyville, one aspect she feels the team needs to improve on is mental toughness.
"Mental toughness, some of the girls need to be mentally tougher," Ball said. "It just snowballed (today). But it's all about mental toughness and coming back from something like that. When that happens, how are we going to respond? We didn't respond. That's what was disappointing."
The Pioneers will look to have better outings next week batting as only three players, Kendall Lowry, Kendall Grover and Cooper, connected on pitches.
Looking ahead
Mooresville is set to have a busy week next week, opening conference play with rival Martinsville Tuesday and Thursday before joining tournament play against Seeger (April 8), Avon (April 9) and West Vigo (April 9).

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Demands Clarence Thomas Resign from Supreme Court, Threatens Impeachment
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is calling for Justice Clarence Thomas to resign from the Supreme Court due to ethical breaches.
In a tweet, Cortez warned that if Thomas does not voluntarily resign, he should face impeachment.
Clarence Thomas should resign.
If not, his failure to disclose income from right-wing organizations, recuse himself from matters involving his wife, and his vote to block the Jan 6th commission from key information must be investigated and could serve as grounds for impeachment.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 29, 2022
Cortez’s comments come after scrutiny of Thomas due to accusations that his wife was part of efforts to overturn former President Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election.
Thomas’ wife, Virginia Thomas, noted that she had been at a rally at the White House on Jan. 6, 2020, the day of the Capitol incursion. She told the Washington Free Beacon that she had nothing to do with the riots of Jan. 6 and simply attended the rally at the White House, but then left.
However, Virginia Thomas has a background as a conservative activist and had a connection with Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff.
CBS News and the Washington Post obtained text messages between Virginia Thomas and Meadows and reported that these messages from Thomas urged Meadows to pursue efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
“Those messages — part of 29 total messages obtained — reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and then-President Donald Trump’s top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to subvert the election results,” CBS News reported.
Virginia Thomas’ connections to the former Trump administration — along with any possible involvement in the election controversy — have made Democratic lawmakers question Clarence Thomas himself and the integrity of his rulings.
Virginia Thomas said in her interview with the Washington Free Beacon that her husband’s work and legal decisions are not affected by her work and that the two keep their careers very separate.
“Like so many married couples, we share many of the same ideals, principles, and aspirations for America. But we have our own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too. Clarence doesn’t discuss his work with me, and I don’t involve him in my work,” Thomas told the Washington Free Beacon.
But some are still questioning Justice Thomas’ rulings that have been related to the election.
There have been at least 10 rulings from the court related to the 2020 presidential election. Thomas has not recused himself in any of those cases, The Hill reported.
“The ruling that has drawn the sharpest criticism came in January, when Thomas was the only justice who dissented in an 8-1 ruling that cleared the way for House investigators probing the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection to obtain Trump-era White House records,” The Hill reported.
In light of this, many Democrats are demanding that Thomas resign or recuse himself from cases related to Jan. 6 or the election.
“He absolutely should recuse himself,” Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal from Washington told Politico.
Jayapal also added that the situation was “outrageous” and “stunning” that Thomas hasn’t recused himself or resigned yet.
“Clearly the Supreme Court is in need of ethics reforms,” Jayapal added.
“I frankly think it’s time for Justice Thomas to resign,” Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson from Georgia also told Poltico. Johnson also sits on the House Judiciary panel, which oversees Congress’s impeachment powers.
But when it comes to questions of impeachment, as Cortez suggested, many Democrats are still hesitant, Politco reported.
“I’m very concerned about it, obviously,” House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler from New York said.
When asked about his colleagues’ calls to censure or even impeach Thomas, Nadler said: “It’s much too early to talk about either one of those. I think we have to wait and see what the Jan. 6 committee finds.”
Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas of California agreed.
“To see something like this, it’s pretty damn outrageous,” Vargas told Politico. “I don’t think it reaches to that level of impeachment yet.”

Bundesliga revenue drops more than 8.5% in 2020-21 season, says DFL
The revenue generated by Bundesliga clubs in the 2020-21 season shrank more than 8.5% to 3.47 billion euros ($3.84 billion) from 3.8 billion after Covid-19 led to most matches being played without fans, the German Football League (DFL) said on Friday.
In a report, it said a revenue shortfall was particularly apparent from ticket sales, which amounted to 22.4 million euros in 2020-21, compared to 520 million in the 2018-19 season prior to the pandemic.
In December 2020, the DFL had predicted a drop in turnover of about one billion euros during the 2020-21 season if fans had to stay away throughout the campaign.
"Over the past two years, the pandemic has already had a dramatic economic impact on the Bundesliga ... Sadly, it is also affecting the current season, primarily because once again the stands often had to remain empty," said Donata Hopfen, speaker of the DFL Executive Committee.
The report suggested that clubs had become less willing to make large investments in new players after transfer revenue also saw a further substantial downturn to 469 million euros, lower than the 533 million of the 2015-16 season.
"We are facing an unprecedented situation. The era of growth as something to be taken for granted seems to be over," Hopfen added.
"Without a doubt, this will massively impact our development in the years to come.
"Nevertheless, considerable challenges always come with considerable opportunities. We must explore new avenues to make the German professional football future-proof while upholding our traditions and values."
She did not elaborate, however.

I had to quit my job when I became a mum so I started a side hustle – now it makes me £15k a MONTH
A MUM has revealed how she was forced to give up her job after giving birth to her second daughter.
With no part-time jobs available, she did something she never thought she would and started her own business, reports kidspot.
Jade Wood, from Melbourne, Australia, quit her 50-hour-a-week job as a secondary teacher to create the life she wanted with her family.
The 38-year-old gave birth to her second daughter, Piper, and knew she had to make the major decision to leave.
She said: "I knew that it wasn’t possible to continue with my old career with the life that I wanted for my family, so this gave me a sense of purpose to create a new one.
“I had to make it work, I had no choice. That was my motivation.”
So back in 2017, when Piper was six months old, Jade came up with a design for a silicone teething toy, which was uncommon at the time.
Despite being a mum to two children under three, Jade was able to get her first product ready - a shooting star teething toy.
It was the first product she sold on her website, Little Woods.
“I would work during breastfeeding, naps, and mostly at night up until late,” Jade, who worked out of the room that used to be Piper’s nursery explained.
Most read in Fabulous
The mum said she sacrificed many bedtimes in the first year of her product launch, but has no regrets.
With her husband working during the day, Jade missed out on a lot, but knew putting the hours into her business would pay off.
Not only did Jade give up a successful ten-year career, but she also put her family's $20,000 saving on the line to launch her company.
"I was confident in the idea and had positive market research to back it up, so I went for it.” Jade told Kidspot.
It may have taken some time for her company to launch, but Jade still remembers her first sale.
Her cousin was the first and Jade was so proud she didn't want to spend the money from it as a keepsake of how far she'd come.
Thanks to her children, Jade then got another idea for her next product launch.
"She (Piper) was getting frustrated with the fork I had, so I knew there had to be a way for her to be able to pick up chunks of food more easily.”
It took two years to perfect the product to meet strict safety requirements.
FABULOUS BINGO: GET A £5 FREE BONUS WITH NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED
It's a uniquely-shaped silicone utensil which has a spoon on one end and thick-pronged circle-shaped fork on the other.
“It works well because babies randomly stab food, and with this style, the food gets caught in the cavity between the prongs, allowing them to bring it to their mouths more easily,” Jade explains.
“And then they keep doing that until they can use a proper utensil when they get older.”
Although jade had risked a lot with her company it paid off and in 2020 began making more than $20,000 per month in sales online and via wholesale orders to stores.
Now her company has branched out, selling an array of silicone tableware and accessories.
“It was such a great feeling after having done so much work that the products were resonating with parents,” she says proudly.
Jade's favourite part? Is that it’s all been achieved in the time that she has chosen to work around her family, which has been no more than 20 hours-a-week until five-year-old Piper joined her eight-year-old sister Eliza at school this year.
“When I can go to my child’s assembly or pick them up from school when they’re sick, those are the moments that I feel lucky that I can do what I do.”

Column: It's high time to end the pointless practice of moving the clocks forward or back
I hate this week. It happens every year and I become grouchy about it every time, writes Notts-raised writer and comedian Steve N Allen.
Why are we still messing around with our clocks twice a year?
It feels like the only reason we still do it is because people don’t like change, which is ironic as keeping the daylight savings system means we have to go round the house changing anything with a timer.
Now is the time to end this pointless practice. We give ourselves a small dose of jet lag.
During the pandemic, it was the closest we could get to a trip abroad but now even that benefit has ended.
You might be more organised than I am but it catches me unawares every time. In theory it should be easier now we have modern technology that can crack the code.
Our phones and computers somehow workout when they need to add or subtract an hour and they get on with the job. Sadly we still have watches, some cars and the odd boiler that we need to fix manually. It means there’s a Sunday where you don’t know which time to trust.
The reason I feel now is the time to end this is that America is leading the way. I often feel we shouldn’t copy the US as much as we do, but in this regard let’s catch up.
Their Senate has approved legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent in America starting in 2023.
We could do the same and have lighter evenings. Some say the change in the winter helps because we have lighter mornings. We get the same about of daylight but at the moment we sleep through the early ones.
We all know the concept of changing the clocks dates back to World War One, that using more hours of daylight would save energy and with gas prices going up it’s not something I’d ignore right away. However, it’s lighter evenings that will make energy savings.
That’s why I’d be in favour of staying in BST all year round. I know it would seem strange to ignore the time zone named after Greenwich when we’re the country that is the home to it but I don’t exclusively eat English mustard simply because of the name.
If you want a brighter morning get up later and you’ll find all the illumination you need.
Make British Summer Time into British Standard Time and we wouldn’t even need to change the abbreviation. That works for me because you know how much I don’t like going round having to change things.

Inside lifestyle of Floyd Mayweather’s sons including Zion’s fashion range, Koraun’s singing career & Devion’s epic cars
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR's nickname Money is certainly well-earned.
The former champion boxer, 45, won fifteen world titles across five weight classes during a glittering career at the very top.
All that success certainly brought in the dollar, with Mayweather Jr estimated to have a mammoth net worth of $450million in 2022.
Rated as the sixth-highest paid athlete of all time, even after his official retirement he's raked in the dosh by appearing in lucrative exhibitions against Logan Paul, Conor McGregor and Tenshin Nasukawa.
'Pretty Boy' certainly likes to splash out on the finer things in life, with his vast wealth providing a substantial financial safety net for his family.
Mayweather has two biological sons Zion and Koraun, both with tragic former partner and reality TV star Josie Harris.
While adopted son Devion - whose mother is ex-girlfriend Melissa Brim - currently plies his trade in Las Vegas as an entrepreneur.
One profession all three have chosen to avoid is boxing, with Mayweather revealing last year Zion and Koraun have another hobby.
He told The Million Dollaz Worth of Game show: "Well, my two boys they like to smoke weed so I know they ain't going to box.
"I don't, that's what they like, they grown."
Zion, who turned 21 on March 28, is the fashionista of the family and manages a high-end clothing brand called Philthy Rich Boys.
He keeps his 235k Instagram followers up to date with the latest looks, ranging from luxury t-shirts to basketball shorts.
Much of the merchandise is Mayweather-themed, with the label holding a pop-up shop last year in Miami where punters could win a card signed by the boxer himself.
'ALREADY A MILLIONAIRE..'
Speaking ahead of Mayweather vs Paul in June 2021, Zion told Fight Hype how he was getting involved in event promotion as well as fashion.
He said: "[The shirts] I made, I designed, I printed. It's just getting shipped out here.
"I promote parties, there are a few other events that I've got going and cooking up which will come to light soon.
"I'm still working on perfecting them but you guys will eventually see."
The influencer was given a taste of the high-life early, with Mayweather gifting him a plush $78,000 Mercedes for his 16th birthday.
While older brother Koraun wasted no time in launching his singing career after graduating from high school in 2018.
He dropped his first single RACK$ under the rap moniker King Koraun just days after leaving West Ranch High School in Stevenson Ranch, California.
DEBUT ALBUM IN 2020
It deals with his upbringing into extreme wealth, with money the central theme of both the lyrics and video.
He explained: "I picked this song because it represents my lifestyle and also the hard work to keep grinding and keep the racks coming in."
Koraun followed up his debut with tunes Pretty n Perfect, WHOA and Going Up before releasing his debut album A King's Party in 2020.
Like his brother, Koraun has a huge social media presence and updates his fans on both new music and personal news.
One picture from just over two years ago shows Koraun covered in gold chains, medallions and expensive watches.
He captioned the snap: "Already a millionaire and I never signed a deal..."
And in another Koraun is shown posing next to an epic car collection, featuring a Ferrari, Mercedes Benz and Bentley's.

Mayweather's adopted son Devion Cromwell is also a petrolhead and owns a fleet of luxury vehicles.
He was never formally adopted and the pair reportedly have an acrimonious relationship.
Now a businessman based in Las Vegas, Devion is a globetrotter who has updated his social media fans on trips to Jamaica, Mexico, and Vancouver.
He made car fanatics jealous after dropping a picture of him cruising around LA in a gorgeous red Ferarri.
And in 2017 the 25-year-old shared a snap of the incredible Mercedes 6x6 Brabus G700, known as the 'Beast of Beverley Hills'.
Although it's unclear whether Cromwell purchased the 700bhp behemoth, he is holding the keys in his Insta snap.
The car is a six-wheel monster, costing a crazy $1million and even has a FRIDGE in the rear trunk.
The Brabus modifications include leather upholstery, full-length running boards with LED lights and a carbon-fiber body.
There's a 5.5L V8 Twin Turbo under the hood, which is needed as the car weighs in at almost FOUR tonnes.
Mayweather is currently building his tenth skyscraper and has boasted of $50,000-a-month earnings.
He has been called out for a rematch against YouTuber Logan Paul, after their first bout returned no official winner.

Friday, April 1, 2022 – One of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s lieutenants from Nyeri County has told residents to support her senatorial bid but vote for other presidential candidates contesting in August.
Speaking on Wednesday, Priscilla Nyokabi called on residents to vote for her as their senator on the Jubilee Party ticket but vote for other presidential candidates like Deputy President William Ruto.
She also urged residents not to associate her with Baba since Jubilee Party is led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and not Raila Odinga
“Mimi naomba kiti cha seneta Nyeri, na ndio nawaomba watu wa Nyeri kuniunga mkono mimi. Mimi naomba kiti ya seneta wa Nyeri, hakuna mahali mambo ya Baba inakujia. Rais watu wa nyeri wanaweza kumchagua mtu wanayetaka,” Nyokabi stated.
“Watu wa Nyeri wanielewe vizuri, mimi nataka kiti ya seneta. Leo mimi sitaki kuzungumzia mambo ya Baba, hayo mengine tutakuja kuzungumza siku nyingine. Wacha kwanza tuone vile siasa zinaendelea,” Nyokabi added.

The Scottish Premiership title could effectively be decided on Sunday when Rangers take on Celtic at Ibrox. Both teams have formidable league records, but with Celtic currently three points ahead of their Old Firm rivals, a win for the Bhoys might pretty much end Rangers' defence of their crown. Three points for the Gers, however, would throw the title race wide open. Make sure you know how to watch a Rangers vs Celtic live stream wherever you are.
US soccer fans can watch a Rangers vs Celtic live stream on CBS Sports Network with FuboTV. Don't forget to use a VPN if you're a US fan stuck outside the States. UK fans can watch on Sky or Now.
Date: Sunday 3rd April 2022
Kick off: 12:00pm BST / 7:00am ET
Venue: Ibrox, Glasgow
US stream: CBS Sports Network via FuboTV (free trial)
Watch anywhere: Try ExpressVPN risk-free
UK stream: Sky Sports / Now TV
League leaders Celtic haven't lost a league game since September – a run that spans 25 matches and includes a 3-0 win against Rangers at Celtic Park back in February. Ange Postecoglou's side are in particularly good goalscoring form of late, hitting the net nine times in the past three games, so the Hoops will be confident of taking a big step towards reclaiming the Premiership title.
Rangers have been on an impressive run in Europe this year, trouncing Borussia Dortmund on their way to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, but nothing means as much as the Old Firm derby. Gio van Bronckhorst's team have only lost twice in the league all season but they're not as free-scoring as their city rivals. Nothing but a home win will do on Sunday.
The match kicks off at 12pm BST, Sunday 3rd April. Follow our guide on how to watch a Rangers vs Celtic live stream online, on TV and on your smartphone, from wherever you are in the world.
Watch a Rangers vs Celtic free live stream
Scottish Premiership fans in the US can watch a Rangers vs Celtic live stream on CBS Sports Network which can be accessed through cable cutting service FuboTV.
FuboTV brings over 100 US cable TV channels to any smart device, streamed over the internet to wherever you are. The service costs $64.99 per month but you can use the 7-day FuboTV trial to watch a Rangers vs Celtic free live stream. You continue on a monthly basis thereafter and cancel at any time. There are no long contracts.
Of course, FuboTV is only available within the States so be sure to use a VPN if you're a subscriber stuck abroad. We recommend ExpressVPN as it's reliable and comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
Watch a Rangers vs Celtic live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Rangers vs Celtic live stream rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

PARIS (AP) — The French soccer league announced an investment deal Friday with private equity firm CVC Capital Partners as part of a new commercial subsidiary in charge of marketing media rights.
The league said its general assembly unanimously approved the creation of the subsidiary and CVC's commitment to invest 1.5 billion euros ($1.66 billion).
The league, known as the LFP, said most of the financial contribution will be paid to professional soccer clubs, with another share used for amateur soccer and the repayment of a state-guaranteed loan contracted in 2020.
Some of the money will also be used for a reserve fund and to start the commercial subsidiary's activities, the league said.
In return for its investment, CVC will hold a 13.0% stake in the league, valuing the entire capital of the commercial subsidiary at 11.5 billion euros ($12.7 billion).
The league said it expects the deal to be completed by the end of July after consultation with the LFP’s staff representative bodies and the green light from competition authorities.
Last year, a large majority of Spain’s top soccer clubs, with the notable exceptions of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ratified an investment plan with the same private equity firm.
Away from soccer, CVC has also invested in sports such as Formula One, rugby and volleyball.
Following the collapse of its record-breaking TV rights contract with Spanish-based broadcaster Mediapro, the French soccer league was forced last year to ask the government to set up a financial rescue plan amid huge revenue losses exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.
The deal with Mediapro should have been worth more than 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) over four years for the top two leagues but collapsed after only four months.

More than 7,000 complaints of moving scams reported in 2021; here are red flags to look for
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT/Gray News) – More than 7,000 complaints about moving scams were reported to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in the past year.
That number has significantly increased since the start of the pandemic, WECT reports.
The FMCSA is a civil agency that administers commercial regulations governing the interstate transportation of household goods.
Because moving is often a stressful experience, and something people might not do very often, consumers can be vulnerable to making mistakes hiring a mover that can have significant consequences.
The FMCSA provides resources to help people planning a move find a reputable moving company.
It is important to have everything in writing and to understand if you are in contact with a broker or a moving company. Oftentimes moving scams start with an unscrupulous broker.
“It underscores the need to do research. What scammers do is they will use a name very similar to another company that is familiar to you and me, and they try to prey on our sense of trust,” said N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein. “We urge people to do research and make sure that the company is legit, make sure that there aren’t a lot of complaints about them. Because you don’t want to hand over your life’s possessions to some scam artist.”
Tips When Choosing a Moving Company:
- Contact various reputable, long-standing moving companies to compare estimates and get a foundation of what the legitimate cost of your move will be.
- Ask the moving company if they will be conducting the move or if it is being brokered for fulfillment by another company.
- Keep all records of contracts, proof of payments, and communication with the moving company.
- Carefully examine the reviews on various online business rating websites to ensure they contain more than just recent glowing reviews.
- Use online street-view and satellite maps to research the moving company’s address to verify that the address is a business and not a residence.
If there are an extraordinary number of complaints about an individual company they are referred to the Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) for possible federal prosecution.
Report Fraud
Contact FMCSA’s National Consumer Complaint Database online or toll-free at: 1-888-368-7238 to file a complaint against a household goods moving company, broker or other carrier.
You can also report an allegation of household goods fraud to the OIG’s Fraud Hotline using any of the following methods:
- Online OIG Hotline Complaint Form
- Call 1-800-424-9071 (toll free).
- E-mail to hotline@oig.dot.gov
- Mail to: DOT Inspector General, 1200 New Jersey Ave SE, West Bldg 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20590

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Michael Williams, University of Virginia
(THE CONVERSATION) No one gave a second thought to the safety of dining out before the pandemic. Fast-forward to today, and it’s normal to wonder whether there is a city, state or federal policy around whether you need a mask or proof of vaccination to eat in a restaurant. The public policies around dining and many other activities have changed multiple times over the course of the pandemic. These rules are also often different from place to place. For millions of parents like my wife and me, the guidelines regarding children can be especially frustrating, as they seem to change constantly.
I am the former director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Health Policy and a practicing surgeon. I have followed both the development and rapid implementation of public policy in response to COVID-19, and I, like many people, have struggled to stay up to date.
Typically, meaningful changes to federal health policy happen at a glacial pace. But the modern world has never faced a public health crisis that has changed as quickly as the pandemic. The constant back and forth of rules can be frustrating, but policy changes aren’t usually a sign of mistakes. Rather, they show that for the most part, policymakers are getting things right over and over again.
Rapid changes require rapid responses
The continued evolution of the coronavirus and resultant public policy changes don’t look like a normal public health crisis. It’s happening like a hurricane.
The danger of a hurricane depends heavily on the strength and path of the storm, and these things can and do change unexpectedly. Government officials use the best evidence available to give general information or orders to take certain precautions, shelter in place or evacuate an area, all within a very narrow window of time. Sometimes evacuation orders for a town or region will be issued, only to have a hurricane strike elsewhere.
This virus has similarly changed – and continues to change – very quickly. In a little over two years, researchers have found dozens of COVID-19 variants. Many of these have clinically important differences in their transmissibility, the severity of the illness they cause and the degree to which they are preventable and treatable with existing therapies.
When the coronavirus first emerged, health officials knew very little about it and did not have systems in place to track or predict its behavior; there was a hurricane approaching and the world had neither satellites nor weather models. But as epidemiologists and public health officials gained greater understanding of the virus, they quickly gained the ability to deploy effective countermeasures and adapt as the virus also changed.
University researchers and the pharmaceutical industry rapidly developed COVID-19 tests. Mask testing began at once. And as soon as scientists mapped the coronavirus’s genome, work began to quickly use existing mRNA vaccine technologies to develop a vaccine in record time.
Public health done fast
With science and situations on the ground evolving rapidly, policymakers had no choice but to be equally as nimble. This has manifested in two unique ways.
First is the use of executive power. Both Presidents Trump and Biden – as well as a host of governors from coast to coast – have leveraged executive orders to shorten the time between the development and implementation of policies. Executive orders are also much easier to roll back or reinstate as coronavirus cases ebb and flow over time, and states in particular have relied on the ability to do this.
Second is the fast-tracking of drug and vaccine approvals. The normal process by which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves new drugs is slow – usually around a 10-year process or so, depending on the treatment. Drug companies can use the FDA’s emergency use authorization process to speed this up slightly, but not by very much. To shorten this process even more, the FDA created a fast-track program specifically intended to accelerate the approval of treatments and vaccines for COVID-19. As a result, it took less than a year for vaccines to get emergency use authorization from the discovery of the coronavirus.
Just as a hurricane response needs to adapt to conditions on the ground and implement the best available information at a moment’s notice, so too has the pandemic response.
Different places, different policies
Hurricanes are intensely local and relatively short-lived. The pandemic is like dozens of different hurricanes repeatedly hitting all over the U.S. simultaneously. This has created a complicated web of policy that can and should be different depending on where you are and what bodies govern there.
The U.S. Congress, state governors, city mayors, departments of health and even local school boards have each needed to develop and implement policies for their own hurricanes at their own levels of control.
Despite its complexity, this approach to public policy is another example of getting it right over and over. New York City public health officials must respond to the unique situation in New York at any given time. These actions may be very different from the issues confronted by the mayor of Barstow, California – a far smaller, far more rural city. Local conditions require local solutions, all of which can evolve over time. This is very different from most other public health problems in the U.S. During flu season, for example, the correct response tends to be relatively similar from place to place.
Getting it right over and over again
I and many others have been guilty on occasion of thinking of policymakers as backpedaling when guidance changes back and forth or being inconsistent when one state makes a certain decision while another does something else. But I’ve come to appreciate that that isn’t the correct framing.
As variants emerge, targeted policies to counteract the new reality follow in quick order. Reinstating mask requirements after they have been dropped or recommending additional vaccine doses between waves may seem like 180-degree course corrections. But in reality, these policy changes are the right reactions to the hurricane of COVID-19 that continues on its meandering path across the globe.
When the next change comes, I submit that you shouldn’t be frustrated or angry. Rather, we should all applaud the fact that researchers and public health experts are getting it right over and over again.

DALLAS — A teenager was fatally shot in the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant in southern Dallas on Thursday night, police said.
The shooting happened outside a Raising Cane's at South Hampton and West Wheatland roads, near Interstate 20.
Police said two suspects had been inside the restaurant and then went outside, where they had an altercation with someone in the drive-thru.
The suspects then fired into the car in the drive-thru, striking a passenger, police said.
The driver wasn't injured, but the passenger died. The suspects left the area, and police were still searching for them Friday morning.
Footage from the scene showed the vehicle partially on the curb near the front door of the restaurant. A back window was shattered.
The victim's name has not been released. Police said they were either 18 or 19, though an exact age not immediately available.

The Ecuadorian striker leaves La Maquina leaving a low scoring quota that does not correspond to the investment that Cruz Azul made at the time.
Although they were reluctant from the beginning, Cruz Azul agreed to let Bryan Angulo go in one of the most demanding stretches of the season. In the end, all possible options were considered, but keeping a footballer against his will and only months before his contract ended, were the compelling arguments for the ‘Cuco’ to close his cycle as a cement worker this Thursday.
Already with the suitcases packed, come the analysis of one of the most bombastic signings of Ricardo Pelaez when he worked as a manager at La Noria. In that year 2019, and with Pedro Caixinha at the team controls, the good ‘Richie’ paid 7.5 million dollars to Ecuador’s Emelec for 80% of the player’s pass.
Three years later, and with a transfer to Xolos from Tijuana in the middle, the numbers of Angulo with Cruz Azul do not correspond to the strong investment that was made at that time. After debuting with the light blue shirt in the opening of the 2019/20 campaign, he went on loan to the border to acclimatize to Liga MX soccer.
He returned in Clausura 2021 and scored two goals in the regular tournament; in the Liguilla of that same semester he scored one more to close the campaign with three goals on the counter. The 2021 Apertura was his best scoring championship by drilling the nets four times. Also added is the goal he scored this semester plus the other four he scored in Concachampions.
What expensive goals!
In total, Cuco celebrated 12 goals with the Cruz Azul shirt. And if we pull out the calculator and divide that number by the total amount of your pass, the result is chilling: 625 thousand dollars is the value of each of those goals by Bryan Angulo during his time as a player of La Maquina.

“Disney — they get everything they want,” said Anna Eskamani, a Democratic state representative from Orlando, who can rattle off a list of measures killed or pushed through with the company’s weight, such as an exemption designed for Disney from a 2021 bill that restricted the ability of social media firms to ban political candidates.
So Eskamani and many other lawmakers were surprised when Disney — and its lobbyists — kept quiet as a mouse during early statehouse debates over a bill to ban discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary school classrooms.
The controversial measure — dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by opponents — spurred a firestorm of criticism over whether Disney had done enough as the measure was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) this past week.
While Disney is now promising to work to undo the law, a review of lobbying disclosures found no record of Disney activity on the bill in the House, where the legislation first emerged in January. (Similar records are not maintained in the Senate.) And Disney didn’t publicly speak out against the bill until it was close to final passage.
The pushback that followed was a stunning blow for one of Florida’s most powerful companies, which for years had proved skilled at navigating cultural war issues with behind-the-scene negotiations and deft signaling of its goals. Now the company faces protests from its own employees, criticism from LGBTQ activists and combative statements from DeSantis, who dismissed concerns by what he called a “woke” Disney.
Disney’s missteps illustrate just how much the political landscape has changed for companies in a country roiled by Black Lives Matter protests and the Jan. 6 insurrection. Disney discovered that the old corporate playbook for avoiding such controversy had been shredded by customer and employee expectations about how companies should react, along with a fresh willingness from previously business-friendly Republicans to buck corporate wishes.
“It’s pretty rare that Disney in Florida has come up short,” said Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida, who co-authored the book “Politics in Florida.”
But for Disney to lose and for state leaders to appear to relish Disney’s humiliation, he said, “That’s never happened.”
Disney declined to comment for this article. Disney executives described the company’s reactions to the bill on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The Parental Rights in Education bill was introduced in the Florida state legislature by GOP lawmakers amid a growing nationwide debate about gender identity and schools.
It bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity from kindergarten through third grade “in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” The bill also requires parents be told when a child seeks school counseling. DeSantis’s press secretary Christina Pushaw derisively called it “the Anti-Grooming Bill.”
It quickly earned the “Don’t Say Gay” moniker from critics who say it is a cruel law that will harm LGBTQ students and staff. Supporters say it’s about preventing discussions about certain sexuality topics in primary classrooms.
As the bill faced its first vote in Florida’s House, Disney hadn’t publicly addressed the bill.
And its lobbyists didn’t talk to House lawmakers about the measure, according to state lobbying records.
Instead, Disney lobbyists approached House members on a plan to stop hotels from renting rooms by the hour and consumer data privacy regulations, among other bills during the legislative session, records show.
Records show Disney also lobbied against a House bill that touched on another cultural war issue: the “Stop WOKE Act.”
Depending on the view, that bill is an anti-critical race theory bill targeting corporate diversity training or a bill designed to prevent people from feeling discomfort over discussions of systemic racism or racial discrimination. The Republican sponsor of the bill cited a Disney diversity program called “Reimagine Tomorrow,” according to the Orlando Sentinel.
But Disney did not lobby on HB 1557 — the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, according to disclosure records.
“My gut reaction was this was not a priority for them,” Eskamani said.
However, Disney did speak with the governor’s office about the bill during that time and planned to focus its lobbying efforts on the state Senate, according to a company executive.
Disney is a major donor in Florida politics, donating $4.8 million to lawmakers in the 2020 campaign cycle, according to campaign finance records. Nearly 80 percent of that went to Republicans — and the Orlando Sentinel pointed out Disney had given money to every sponsor and co-sponsor of the bill. The online newsletter Popular Information noted several big corporations including United Health and Comcast donated hundreds of thousands to the bill’s supporters.
As the bill sped through the House, state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith (D) tried to slow it down. He told The Washington Post he knew it was likely to pass because Republicans hold clear majorities in the state House and Senate.
Smith, a Democrat and one of three openly LGBTQ state lawmakers, said he suggested the bill ban classroom discussions of sexual activity, rather than gender identity and sexual orientation. That would remove the spotlight from LGBTQ issues. His amendment failed.
On Feb. 24, the House passed the bill 69 to 47.
A couple days later, Smith called Disney lobbyist Leticia Adams, according to two people familiar with the discussion who requested anonymity to discuss private communications. He left their talk with the impression that the company believed the best odds for stopping the bill rested in the state Senate. Disney planned to work with a state senator to introduce an amendment similar to Smith’s.
Smith said he was doubtful at the time about Disney’s tactics.
“They have some clout in the legislature,” he later said. “They should use it.”
As the bill headed toward the state Senate, pressure was building on Disney.
The company’s LGBTQIA+ business employee resource groups wrote to Disney executives asking them to speak out against the bill.
Protests popped up in Florida. Saturday Night Live lampooned the bill. Social media complaints rose.
Disney’s legendary former head Bob Iger publicly bashed the legislation, tweeting it “will put vulnerable, young LGBTQ people in jeopardy.”
In the Senate, Republican state Sen. Jeff Brandes was one of the few allies Disney had on that side of the aisle. He said he felt the bill was addressing “a hypothetical problem.” He was open to Disney’s plan to amend the bill and talked to three Disney lobbyists about what to do.
Brandes said he wanted to cut the phrases “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” for more general terms about sexuality. He talked with the governor’s office. They wouldn’t back down, he said.
“They wanted those exact words and nothing else,” Brandes said.
The governor’s office did not respond to a request for comment about the conversation.
Brandes’s final amendment suggested keeping the original phrases and adding “sexual activity.” No go.
As the bill neared the finish line, Disney’s current chief executive Bob Chapek addressed it publicly for the first time on March 7 — 11 days after the bill passed in the House.
He sent a memo to Disney workers — cast members, as they’re known — noting that he’d heard from staff disappointed that the company had not put out a public statement condemning the legislation. Chapek wrote that “corporate statements do very little to change outcomes or minds” and “they are often weaponized by one side or the other to further divide and inflame.”
“I do not want anyone to mistake a lack of a statement for a lack of support,” he added.
He also noted the company would be “reassessing” its political donations.
The bill passed in the Senate one day later by a vote of 22 to 17. With the bill on its way to the governor, Chapek spoke out again at Disney’s annual shareholder meeting, saying that the company didn’t take a public position earlier “because we thought we could be more effective working behind the scenes, engaging directly with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.”
Chapek told the meeting that he’d spoken to DeSantis that morning “to express our disappointment” and concerns about the bill. It was the only time the two spoke about the bill, according to DeSantis’s deputy press secretary Bryan Griffin.
“The call did not change the governor’s position, and in fact the governor encouraged Mr. Chapek to read the bill,” Griffin said in a statement, adding that, “such discussions need to be based on the text of the bill and not a fabricated narrative.”
Disney’s failure to derail the bill — or at least get credit for strongly opposing it — stood out because the company has a history of getting its way in the Florida state legislature and of adeptly handling LGBTQ issues.
Six years ago, then-Disney chief executive Iger was credited with helping convince Georgia’s governor to veto a bill that would have allowed faith-based groups to refuse services to LGBTQ individuals on the basis of their religious beliefs.
In the early 1990s, Walt Disney World started hosting an annual Gay Day the first Saturday in June. Supporters wore red. Thousands of people showed up.
The Southern Baptist Convention boycotted Disney for nearly a decade over Gay Day. Evangelist Pat Robertson once warned a meteor would strike Orlando. Some conservative groups, such as the Florida Family Association, have continued to get upset.
While Disney has never officially endorsed the event, the company clearly supports it and hasn’t buckled to demands from anti-gay activists, said Sean Griffin, a professor of film and media arts at Southern Methodist University, who wrote a book about the ties between Disney and LGBTQ culture.
Disney is always trying to appeal to both sides without angering either one, Griffin said. “It was a successful strategy for decades.”
That’s harder to do today.
“Everything is so polarized so trying to stay in the middle is really problematic,” Griffin said. “This strategy of not taking sides that has done them well for decades looks increasingly like it’s not going to work anymore.”
At the shareholder’s meeting, Chapek also announced Disney planned to donate $5 million to LGBTQ groups including the Human Rights Campaign.
But the Human Rights Campaign — which gave Disney perfect scores in its Corporate Equality Index this year and in 2021 — rejected Disney’s donation. The group’s interim president Joni Madison said in a statement that Disney “took a regrettable stance by choosing to stay silent” and needed to work to get the law off the books.
A day later, on March 9, in a video from a campaign event sent to Fox News, DeSantis described Disney as “woke” and said there was “zero” chance he would not sign the bill.
The governor seemed to enjoy calling out Disney, said Jewett, the political science professor.
“I think it’s a wider trend in conservative circles since President Trump came aboard,” he said. “It’s, stay in your lane. Corporations can advocate for lower taxes and business policy. But that’s it.”
Now, Disney looked like it was putting economic concerns ahead of what it claims are its values, Jewett said.
The pressure from Disney workers ramped up. An anonymous group of employees launched WhereisChapek.com and planned a “Disney Do Better Walkout.” Two broadcasters on ESPN — owned by the sprawling entertainment company — offered a brief silent protest during an NCAA women’s basketball game. And dozens of workers in California staged a walk out. In Orlando, a single protester stood outside the theme park’s main entrance.
In a second memo to Disney workers, Chapek said Disney was suspending all political donations in Florida. He said the company was increasing support for advocacy groups to fight similar legislation in other states. And Chapek admitted, “I missed the mark in this case but am an ally you can count on.”
Disney has continued to announce its regret for not doing more to stop the bill.
On Monday, the company issued a statement saying HB 1557 “should never have passed and should never have been signed into law” and that Disney will push for it to be repealed.
Eskamani, the state legislator, said she was skeptical of corporate promises. After all, Disney had the chance weeks ago to potentially stop this from happening.
“Once that train departs, it gets out of your hands,” she said.
The lone protester outside Walt Disney World in Orlando, Nicholas Luis Maldonado, 27, said he was hopeful.
He’d worked for Disney for four years, first in California and now in Florida at a retail store. He said he feels like the Disney brand is part of him. And he’s been closely following Disney’s reaction to the bill.
“The company is listening. The company is hearing us,” Maldonado said, noting the support he’s received from others at Disney, including his manager.
But he worried what Disney could do about the law now.
“It’s a little too late.”

The campaign targets Jennifer Rearden, whom Biden nominated in January to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, one of the nation's most influential federal trial courts. She was tapped by President Donald Trump in February 2020 but was not confirmed by the Senate.
Activists argue that Rearden is unfit for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench because of her past work for the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, which has represented the oil giant Chevron in controversial environmental cases, including fights over oil waste left behind in Ecuador and over the Dakota Access pipeline in Montana.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Rearden's nomination on Monday. While the panel is widely expected to advance her nomination, a coalition of more than 200 public interest organizations — including environmental groups such as 350.org, Greenpeace USA and the Sunrise Movement — is urging senators to oppose the nomination on the floor.
According to a person familiar with the matter, six senators are still wavering over whether to support Rearden on the floor. They are Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), according to the individual, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the sensitive political deliberations.
If all six senators decide to oppose Rearden on the floor, Democratic leadership would need to wrangle support from Republicans, who might find Rearden palatable because she originally was nominated by Trump. Moderate Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Wednesday said she would back Jackson for the Supreme Court, giving the White House at least a minimally bipartisan vote.
In an interview with The Climate 202 yesterday, Ossoff, a member of the Judiciary Committee, declined to say whether he planned to back Rearden on Monday.
“I will vote to confirm Judge Jackson for the Supreme Court, and I will complete additional due diligence for the other nominees who are scheduled for Monday between now and the markup,” he said.
When approached by The Climate 202 in the Senate basement yesterday, both Warren and Markey declined to comment on Rearden’s nomination, while a spokeswoman for Merkley said in an email that the Oregon Democrat “hasn’t formally taken a position on this nomination yet.”
Done with Gibson Dunn
In 2011, Gibson Dunn represented Chevron in litigation against Steven Donziger, an environmental and human rights attorney who had won a multibillion-dollar judgment against the oil company over environmental contamination in the Amazon.
While Rearden was not a lead counsel in the Donziger litigation, she was involved in at least 37 billable hours of work on the case, for which Chevron was charged more than $30,000, records show.
“As fossil fuel-caused superstorms, fires, droughts, and other disasters kill people and ravage the planet, Gibson Dunn is one of the firms most prominently defending fossil fuel producers from efforts to hold them accountable,” said a recent letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) from organizations opposing Rearden's nomination.
One signatory of the letter was Law Students for Climate Accountability, a group of climate-conscious students at law schools across the country.
“Especially at a time when the Biden administration has failed to accomplish the climate agenda that they promised, nominating a Trump judge from Gibson Dunn sends the wrong signal,” Tim Hirschel-Burns, the co-founder of Law Students for Climate Accountability and a third-year law student at Yale, told The Climate 202.
A Gibson Dunn spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.
Rearden's backers
Michael Gerrard, founding director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School, sent a letter to the Judiciary Committee in February supporting Rearden's nomination.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has also remained a staunch supporter of Rearden, telling reporters recently that critics have “misunderstood her role in some litigation that her firm carried.”
Gillibrand spokesman Evan Lukaske said in an email to The Climate 202: “Jennifer Rearden’s extensive knowledge of federal law and record of accomplishment will make her a tremendous asset to the Southern District of New York. Senator Gillibrand was proud to recommend her to the president and expects she will be confirmed.”

Biden announces significant strategic oil reserve release to curb gas prices
President Biden on Thursday announced the release of 1 million barrels a day over the next six months from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve — an effort to make up for the loss of Russian oil from global markets amid the war in Ukraine and to cut the cost of gas, The Washington Post's Steven Mufson and Cleve R. Wootson Jr. report.
The release — which will hit the market in May, according to a senior administration official — marks the largest withdrawal in the reserve’s more than 46-year history. It comes as some congressional committees are calling on oil executives to testify about rising gas prices despite high profits for the industry.
“It’s not the time to sit on record profits. It’s time to step up for the good of your country,” Biden said Thursday in remarks at the White House. He also said he would adopt a “use it or lose it” policy to make oil and gas companies pay for drilling leases that are being left idle rather than explored.
Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) told The Climate 202 on Thursday that the release won’t undermine the nation’s long-term transition to clean energy.
“It gives us an opportunity to protect consumers in the short term, while we put in place a long-term, clean-energy, all-electric-vehicle strategy … and reduce and ultimately eliminate our need to put oil into gasoline vehicles in the United States,” he said.
Here’s more from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.):
.@LeaderMcConnell: "President Biden is [...] draining more oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. [...] It's not there so that anti-energy politicians whose policies have raised gas prices can try to hide that from the public." https://t.co/hkvXYAEnmU pic.twitter.com/S63AGc0qvC

The House Oversight and Reform Committee on Thursday announced it will hold a hearing on the Postal Service’s decision to buy about 148,000 gas-guzzling delivery trucks despite calls from the Biden administration to transition to an electric federal fleet, The Washington Post's Jacob Bogage reports.
The hearing, to be held Tuesday, will focus on the agency’s “next generation delivery vehicles” that are scheduled to hit the road in 2023. The agency will spend about $11.3 billion on the new trucks from Oshkosh Defense over the next decade to replace its aging fleet, but only 10 percent of the new vehicles will be electric.
The Postal Service’s plan locks in gas-powered trucks for at least the next 20 years, falling well behind the White House’s goal of moving the entire federal civilian fleet to electric by 2035. Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country, and Postal Service vehicles make up the biggest share of the government’s civilian fleet.
Victoria Stephen, head of the Postal Service’s “next generation delivery vehicles,” or NGDV program, and Postal Service Inspector General Tammy Whitcomb will testify before the panel, Committee Chair Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) said Thursday.
Sens. Cramer and Coons urge Biden, European Commission to consider climate in trade deals
Sens. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) and Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.) today sent a letter to President Biden urging him to work with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to consider climate in trade deals.
“To be successful, we must focus on the long-term opportunity to bolster our trade relationships with nations who prioritize clean, innovative energy sources,” the senators wrote in the letter.
The letter comes a week after the Biden administration and the European Commission announced plans to reduce Europe's dependence on Russian energy by sending additional shipments of liquefied natural gas to Europe amid Russia’s continued attack on Ukraine.
Cramer has also advocated for a carbon border fee, which would slap a tax on imports from countries that aren't taking aggressive steps to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

U.N. unveils group to assess companies’ net zero pledges
The United Nations on Thursday announced it will unveil a group of 16 experts to review corporate pledges to reach net-zero emissions, an effort to ensure that companies deliver on their promises and prevent greenwashing, Valerie Volcovici of Reuters reports.
“Despite growing pledges of action, global emissions are at an all-time high,” said U.N. Secretary General António Guterres. “Tougher net-zero standards and strengthened accountability around the implementation of these commitments can deliver real and immediate emissions cuts.”
The group, which was launched at the U.N. climate summit in Scotland in November, comes as environmental groups sue companies that lack details about their emissions plans and as regulators begin to question corporate climate commitments.
Agency alert
Rule will require valves on new pipelines to stave off disasters
The Transportation Department on Monday finalized a rule that requires companies to install emergency valves on new pipelines, Matthew Brown reports for the Associated Press. The decision comes in response to a fatal gas explosion in California as well as massive oil spills in Michigan, among other states.
The valves can quickly shut off the flow of oil, natural gas or other hazardous fuels when pipelines rupture. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the rule could also prevent large leaks of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

The Indian shooting team, featuring Shapath Bharadwaj, Kynan Chenai and Manavaditya Singh Rathore, won the men’s trap team bronze medal at the ISSF World Cup Shotgun 2022 in Lima, Peru on Thursday.
The Indian trio defeated Brazil in the third-place contest through a shoot-off. The two sides were level 5-5 after five rounds of shooting. Team USA won the gold medal while Spain took silver.
Manavaditya Singh Rathore, who is the son of Olympic medallist Rajyavardhan Rathore, national champion Shapath Bharadwaj and Rio Olympian Kynan Chenai were fourth in the qualifying round with a score of 205.
However, none of the three Indian shooters could make the semi-final cut in the individual men’s trap event.
Manavaditya Singh Rathore was the highest placed Indian at 18 followed by Kynan Chenai at 23. Shapath Bharadwaj, meanwhile, finished 32nd in the qualification round.
Earlier, Shagun Chowdhary, who had represented India at the London 2012 Olympics, had finished fourth in the women’s trap event.
After impressing in qualification and semi-final rounds, Shagun Chowdhary could only muster up a score of nine in the medal round and ended in the fourth position.
An eight-member Indian shooting contingent is competing in trap and skeet events at the shotgun World Cup in Lima, Peru.

NEW DELHI, April 1 (Reuters) - India's finance minister on Friday said New Delhi would continue to purchase crude from Russia as its people required oil at a discount after the surge in global prices.
India has already started buying oil from Russia, Nirmala Sitharaman said, adding that the transition to gas was challenging as supplies had reduced.
Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov is on a visit to New Delhi to get support from the country after U.S. and British officials pressed India to avoid undermining the dollar-based financial system and sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.

"I had a vision of communicating these songs to a wider audience, putting a spotlight on lyrics that are so universal and inspiring. I wanted to make the songs personal on a soul level. Broadway is known for telling stories, and I wanted to weave in mine."
The Soul of Broadway (4 Times Entertainment, Inc./The Soul of Broadway, LLC) has already received much fanfare.

The album also includes "What About Love" from The Color Purple. Terron performs the duet with Keala Settle (This Is Me, The Greatest Showman).
"I knew I needed a powerhouse vocalist who would leave her heart on this record, and Keala delivered," says Terron. "We recorded the song the day Aretha Franklin died. It was an emotional day, and you can feel the raw emotions of the moment. Keala's performance puts an exclamation mark on what we created."
Their duet is a reunion between the vocalists, who shared the stage on the first national tour of Hairspray. Additionally, Terron has performed with legends Phil Collins, David Foster, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and around the world with Disney in Concert symphonies. Terron is widely recognized for his critically acclaimed role as the great Eddie Kendricks in the Emmy Award-winning NBC mini-series The Temptations.

One of Australia’s biggest lithium miners says major carmakers have been caught “asleep at the wheel” having failed to lock in adequate supplies of lithium and other vital battery raw materials to meet the rapidly rising global demand for electric vehicles.
As the era of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to accelerate, battery manufacturers and carmakers from Volkswagen to Tesla are racing to secure supplies of a range of metals such as lithium, nickel and cobalt, with output failing to keep up with ballooning demand.
The supply crunch sparked a stunning rally last year in prices for lithium, one of the key building blocks for EV batteries. Shipments of hard-rock lithium concentrate known as spodumene sent from Australia averaged about $US400 a tonne in 2020 are fetching beyond $US2000 today.
Ken Brinsden, the outgoing chief executive of $9 billion miner Pilbara Minerals, warns automakers are likely to continue having to pay “through the nose”.
“It happened because the carmakers were asleep at the wheel,” Mr Brinsden said. “They were not paying attention to the raw material supply base; they were too far removed.
“If you are an average car or EV maker [or] you’re a cell maker, today you are just about hitting the panic button.”
In 2018, the lithium market went from boom to bust, as a rush of new supply projects collided with a slowdown in EV sales. Now, as EV sales are building across the US, Europe and China and world governments are unleashing post-pandemic stimulus packages targeting clean energy, the lithium market has been left deeply under-supplied.
Mr Brinsden said new lithium projects, which can take several years to establish, were lagging far behind demand, meaning prices for Australian lithium exports would continue to attract high prices for years to come.
“It’s going to take quite some time for the mines to catch up,” Mr Brinsden said.
Some analysts have warned the extraordinary rises in prices of battery ingredients including lithium will force carmakers to hike up the cost of electric vehicles, raising the threat of demand destruction.
“Historically, the battery price cost curve had been declining at a pace of 3 per cent to 7 per cent annually for so many years in a row it almost seemed inevitable,” analysts at investment bank Morgan Stanley said.
“The world has changed, and along with it is a new paradigm of input costs.”
End-users of raw lithium products in the US and Europe have longer contracts less exposed to the ballooning price of lithium and other chemicals, while China’s battery players are exposed to higher prices.
Mr Brinsden, who said 90 per cent of Pilbara’s product went to China, believes this could affect the price of EVs in the short term but argues supply chain issues are pushing up the price of most new vehicles.
“Do you really worry about paying $3000 more for an EV? I think the answer is no,” he said.
UBS analyst Lachlan Shaw said lithium prices were “at or near all-time highs” and were expected to remain elevated as indicators of consumer interest in EVs continued to go “from strength to strength”.
“The order books to buy an EV in Europe now is well into 2023, so you have to wait over a year to get an EV in some cases,” Mr Shaw said.
Australia is the world’s biggest producer of lithium, accounting for an estimated 30 per cent of known resources.
Mr Brinsden says unlike North Asia, Australia won’t become a battery manufacturing powerhouse but will need to invest in adding value to lithium and reducing waste to access markets in the US and Europe.
“The current spodumene solution is not going to cut it when you’re delivering 95 per cent waste to Europe and they have to store it somewhere in their backyard,” he said.
The federal government has been prioritising funding to enlarge Australia’s critical minerals sector, including backing projects to seize opportunities to grow the nation’s lithium-hydroxide refining capacity.

Tucked into the state’s new $17 billion transportation plan is a lofty goal: No new gas-powered cars by 2030. The commitment is just two sentences within the 120-page document, but nevertheless represents the culmination of years of advocacy in the Legislature for what is now the most aggressive timeline in the country.
The goal of selling exclusively electric vehicles in eight years is just that: a goal. The new language is not a mandate, as advocates had initially hoped for in 2017. But Matthew Metz, executive director of the environmental advocacy organization Coltura, who’s helped lead the push for more zero-emission vehicle sales, said that winning the new language creates a standard by which officials in government and the private sector must now by measured.
“These goals have to be clear, public and constantly reaffirmed,” said Metz. “That’s how society organizes itself around a project.”
Washington state already has committed itself to following California’s vehicle emissions standards, which are more stringent than the federal government’s; President Joe Biden recently reinstated a waiver allowing California to set its own standards that former President Donald Trump had revoked. California is in the process of finalizing rules that would mandate all new car sales be electric by 2035, which Washington would then follow.
Though sales of electric vehicles have grown in recent years, just 1.3% of cars on the road in Washington run on battery power. And for many, the cost remains prohibitive.
But moving faster than California’s timeline is a statement of how dire climate change is, said Leah Missik, policy manager at the nonprofit Climate Solutions.
“The intent with the 2030 goal is to say, ‘hey this is a crisis,’” said Missik.
Republicans in the Legislature, who say they were cut out of negotiations over the transportation package, are skeptical of the new goal, calling it heavy-handed and unrealistic.
“They want to force everybody into an electric vehicle for whatever reason they deem fit,” said Yakima Republican Sen. Curtis King, the ranking member of the Senate Transportation Committee. “They want to take the choice away from the people because they think government knows more than anybody else.”
But, said King, with Democrats in control in Olympia, there wasn’t much he could do to get in their way.
“They wanted what they wanted,” he said.
Metz is a former trial lawyer who, after a successful run in the legal world, began pushing full time to end consumption of gasoline as executive director of Coltura. “It starts with my children,” he said. “I look at them and think, ‘what kind of future will they have?’”
Metz first approached Seattle Rep. Nicole Macri in 2018 about banning the sale of gasoline-powered cars by 2030. Macri recalled meeting Metz for coffee and how he pulled out his laptop to show her a PowerPoint presentation he’d made. As a legislator, Macri spent most of her time on housing issues, but she was “intrigued” by Metz’s presentation.
“This was just a really simple approach that everyone in Washington state could understand,” she said.
The original proposal was a mandate requiring all new cars be electric. But Macri said all the legal advice they received, including from the state Attorney General’s Office, was that such a mandate would struggle in court. More than that, it could threaten California’s emission standards as well if a federal judge made a ruling with national implications. The mandate was changed to a goal.
When it first made its way into the Legislature in 2019, Macri said it was perceived as being “super radical.” But the pace of change was rapid in subsequent years.
“The more you talk about an issue, the more people start thinking about it,” said Macri. “From 2019 to 2022 it was just amazing to see the evolution of the conversation and engagement.”
In the 2021 session, the electric vehicle goal made it all the way to Gov. Jay Inslee’s desk. But he vetoed it because legislators tied its rollout to the implementation of a road usage fee, which Inslee didn’t like.
This session, Democrats folded the goal into their larger transportation package, which passed along party lines and was signed by Inslee last week.
What follows is the most important part, said Macri, which is the plan for its implementation, due at the end of the year and to be drawn up by a newly created “interagency electric vehicle coordinating council.” It’s there that some of the most important details will be worked out, including how to make vehicles more affordable, increase supply and expand access to charging stations. The current market puts electric vehicles out of reach for many, said Macri, and government’s role should be to close those gaps.
Rep. Andrew Barkis, R-Olympia, the ranking member of the House Transportation Committee, said the goal is unrealistic and the barriers are too high. He said he’s concerned the goal will morph into a mandate. The market should dictate the switch to electric vehicles, he said.
“There’s a lot more to it than just having the cars available,” he said. “We’ve got a long way to go for power supply and infrastructure and everything that goes along with it.”
Sen. King pointed to the current dominance of gas-powered vehicles in the state. Electric vehicle sales have jumped in recent years, but they’re only just over 1% of all cars on the road in Washington, according to the Department of Licensing. Washington ranks fourth overall in new registrations of electric vehicles.
“With incentives and trying to entice people to buy these vehicles, you still have that kind of a percentage of people that are willing to do it,” he said.
But Metz of Coltura said that, over the next eight years, the cost and availability of electric cars will come down. BloombergNEF forecast that the price to produce electric vehicles will be cheaper than fuel-powered cars by 2027. General Motors said it would phase out petroleum-powered cars by 2035. “A lot of people think that electric cars, because they have so many fewer parts, are going to be cheaper than gas cars,” he said.
Missik of Climate Solutions said more government incentives and coordination to build out infrastructure can help to speed the transition in a way the market alone could not. “More makes and models are coming on the market, there’s more competition,” she said. “Those are all good things but it’s definitely not enough.”
For Metz, the ultimate objective is to inspire other states to take action and build momentum, in the same way that same sex marriage and marijuana legalization did.
“I wouldn’t bet against it,” he said. “At a certain point, automakers are going to say let’s unify around the standard. The climate crisis is getting worse.”

Do you ever look at your bank balances online and ask yourself where did all your money go? Don’t feel alone. Many working adults get the same sinking feeling, and most have one thing in common: their monthly budget is leaking.
It’s not a problem of too little income, but of too much spending. What are the most effective ways to remedy those leaks? One of the most powerful techniques is tracking, meticulously recording every penny you spend for an entire month. It’s the financial version of a full-body physical exam. People are often shocked when they see all the data after a month of tracking.
After that, consider honing in on expenses you can eliminate without much pain. These soft expense items include things like premium cable subscriptions, health club memberships, and similar fare.
The next stage of the battle takes aim at grocery and discretionary spending, two areas where almost everyone can chop a significant amount of fat. Identifying wasted money in your budget is an essential component of finding and plugging all the leaks. Here are several suggestions for putting the plan into action.
Track Every Dollar for One Month
Professional plumbers add dye to water lines to make finding the cracks in pipes easier by letting fluid seep out. You can do the same with your money by keeping a detailed record of all spending for one month. When the time is up, compare the data to your monthly budget and note the differences.
Don’t be surprised to see variations in categories like groceries, meals out, entertainment, and a few others. The tracking exercise offers a keen insight into the precise places where you can plug a few cash leaks.
Take Aim at Soft Expenses
What are soft expenses? They are those you can easily eliminate as soon as you identify them. Keep your eyes open for stealth members of this category as you scan your budget and review the monthly spending analysis. Other outflows are not so soft and include items like car loans and student loan payments.
The good news is that you can refinance an education loan quite easily and gain access to lower monthly payments. The goal is to work with a private lender for the best shot at more attractive rates, terms, and repayment arrangements than came with the original loan. The best aspect of the refinancing agreement is that you can lower monthly cash outflow almost instantly.
Focus on Food
Be careful to keep food spending to no more than 50 percent of your monthly income. That includes fast food, meals out, groceries, and snacks you purchase at other times. Work to eliminate junk and fast food from your life and avoid letting goods expire while sitting in your pantry.
By saving money at the grocery store you are also creating a habit of being cost-conscious. Shop for groceries strategically, which means never going to the store without a detailed list. Consider joining a wholesale club to save about $1,000 annually on common food items.
Expired foods are wasted money, pure and simple. If you’re single, don’t be surprised to notice that you spend far more than planned on impulse foods like candy, coffee shop treats, and desserts.

Offering A Taste of the Earth with Every Bite, Böen Unveils Böen Terroir Gum
NAPA, Calif., April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Joe Wagner, fifth-generation winemaker and owner of Böen Wines, announces his next big thing— Böen Terroir Gum. This expressive gum varietal encapsulates Joe Wagner's passion for wine and sharing it with consumers. Terroir means "a sense of place" and encompasses all the factors that go into producing wine grapes in a vineyard, from the climate to the soil to the elevation. Wagner created this new bubble-gum to take consumers beyond the glass, showcasing the naturally derived flavors of California's Central Coast on the nose and with each bite. The gum pack will be available on BoenWines.com tomorrow, April 2nd for $4.99 and comes with 15 sticks of mineral forward chewing gum.
"Böen is a translation of 'The Farm' and showcases its unique terroir in each sip," shares Joe Wagner. "Terroir is so important, especially in wine. We wanted to highlight the special regions that our wines are grown in by offering Böen enthusiasts a true taste of the California climate, soil, and terrain. I'm always looking for ways to share our passions and through this we've developed the Böen Terroir Gum. We look forward to sharing more on this exciting project in the coming days because I know this gum will blow up… literally."
Inspired by California's diverse and highly sought after AVAs, the Böen Terroir Gum highlights the distinctive flavors categorized by the climate, geology, and elevation that the Böen grapes are grown in. The gum comes in a rich, brown color, matching the exact hue of the California soils with shimmery flecks sprinkled throughout, representing the important rocks components and comes in minimalistic, branded packaging.
Böen draws its profile from the varied coastal wine-growing areas that are among California's most sought-after cool-climate appellations, each offering optimal growing conditions for this temperamental and early ripening varietal. The wines are comprised of grapes from three distinct central California regions: Sonoma County, Monterey County, and Santa Barbara County. Each of these different appellations brings unique characteristics to the wine.
Fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker and owner of Copper Cane Wines & Provisions, Joe Wagner, has redefined the modern winemaker with his unique approach to the process. Separating from tradition has proved a wise choice for Joe and has shaped a philosophy he carries to this day of "Go With Your Palate;" a simple way of empowering people to drink what they enjoy, and not be swayed by the sommeliers and critics of the world. Since starting Copper Cane in 2014, Joe continues to take a hands-on approach to cultivation, winemaking, and marketing with each of his brands.

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) — Have you ever wanted a big yard to let your dog run free? Or maybe your dog is always on guard when they are in your yard?
Well now you have access to thousands of yards around the world.
READ MORE: Dallas Police: Teen Killed In Shooting At Raising Canes Drive-ThruIt’s called Sniffspot.
Similar to Airbnb, Sniffspot is an app that lets owners rent backyards for their dogs.
Founder David Adams said he got the idea from his wife in 2016.
“She texted me one night and said, ‘I just wish there was an app where I could find a place to let Toshii go to the bathroom,’ and that was the light bulb,” Adams said.
Since then, the idea has taken off.
“Behaviorists will tell you that when dogs get off leash and exercise, it will improve their behavior,” Adams said.
Michael Richard, a regular Sniffspot user, notices a difference when his dog Duke plays in a Sniffspot yard.
“He doesn’t play in the backyard, because it’s kind of like he’s got to be on guard. So we don’t get to play much. He’s never this happy in our own yard,” Richard said.
Rescues also use Sniffspot as a way to introduce dogs in a neutral territory and to offer them a safe space to cut loose.
Phillip Walters became a host about two years ago during COVID-19.
READ MORE: Texas Child Welfare Workers Say They're Quitting Due To Investigations Into Parents Of Trans Kids“I have got plenty of space and my dog, she doesn’t utilize it right. I leave the French doors open and she’s in there laying on the sofa. So I thought it’d be great to open it up for others to come,” Walters said.
Hosts set their own rates and availability, some even making an extra $2,000 a month. But for many hosts, it’s not about the money.
“It makes me feel good that they’re enjoying the space. A lot of the dogs that come here I know are reactive and they don’t do well in dog parks,” Walters said. “And so a lot of people thank me for, you know, sharing my space and allowing them to bring their dog here where they can get some off leash time where it’s just them and their pet.”
Some hosts go the extra mile to make sure their guests feel welcome. Walters even ordered name plates of his regulars.
“I thought well, this would be really nice to, you know, put these up for the regulars and make them feel like it’s their space when they are here,” he said.
“Once we came here, especially with the pool for Duke and the toys for Russell. It’s just been, it’s just been great,“ Richard said.
Sniffspot helps to rehabilitate dogs with tough beginnings, like Richard’s dog Duke, who started life living under a muddy deck riddled with trash.
“The owner moved and just left him,” Richard said. “He never wagged his tail for about 10 months.”
But with a lot of patience, off leash time, and help from his canine friend Russell, Duke has come a long way.
“He probably didn’t have much of a puppy time. And so this playing and stuff, I think is you know a good opportunity for him to kind of experience some of that,” Richard said.
All said, Sniffspot is more than just back yards — guests can rent time in fields and even forests. However, there are rules to participate, including having your pet vaccinated and signing a waiver. You must also clean up after your pet.

Primate Ayodele lists states terrorists plan to attack, urges FG to suspend visa on arrival
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has listed some of the states that terrorists are planning to attack.
Primate Ayodele disclosed that terrorists plan to attack Abuja, Katsina, Zamfara, Plateau, Benue, Imo, and Anambra States.
Disclosing this in a statement signed by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, the clergyman blamed visa on arrival as a major means of bringing terrorism into the country.
Primate Ayodele, however, noted that terrorists’ days are numbered.
“There are people behind it that have not been addressed, they will gradually extend it to the other zones in the country, and if this happens, the country will be in a serious mess. At the moment, major facilities are on the list of these terrorists, their days are numbered but they keep regrouping.
“Our immigration network should stop giving visa on arrival; it’s one of the ways these terrorists come into the country. They are planning to attack Abuja, Katsina, Zamfara, Plateau, Benue, Imo, and Anambra states. I see suicide bombers on rampage again,” he said.
Primate Ayodele warned that the security in shopping malls and international airports be fortified as he foresees possible explosions.
“Let the security operatives fortify security in our shopping malls, international airports because of unexpected explosions. Security agencies need God’s intervention and they must work with God’s warnings through his prophets.
“I repeat that the spiritual intelligence department is needed to overcome these crisis, to be forewarned is to be forearmed,” he said.

This year’s Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles area was an inflection point for the event’s signature halftime spectacular. It was to be the first time that all of the music performers were hip-hop artists, reflecting a shift what has taken place over the last decade that has seen the genre come to dominate popular music sales, charts, and culture. One thing that has remained a constant, though, was the event’s reliance on DiGiCo as ATK Audiotek, now a Clair Global company, once again deployed four SD5 mixing consoles to handle the complex and high-profile production.
The headliners—Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and surprise guest 50 Cent—were intended to constitute what halftime sponsor Pepsi called “…the greatest 12 minutes in music entertainment the world has ever seen.” A bit hyperbolic, certainly, but characteristic of the NFL’s view of its own place in the cultural hierarchy, one in which superlatives are everyday parts of speech. And while the event may have been culturally momentous, it also brought along implications for its live sound and audio, especially considering the bass-heavy nature of the genre. As with previous years’ halftime events, ATK Audiotek augmented the host stadium’s installed sound system with additional speakers and amplifiers loaded onto bespoke wheeled carts to accommodate both the substantial low end as well as the crisp vocal intelligibility required.
[NAB 2022: DiGiCo, KLANG Return for First North American Show Since 2020]
Getting the front-of-house and monitor mixes together called for a team as good as the LA Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, who were playing the match. They found that in Alex Guessard and Tom Pesa, veteran TV music mixers who had both worked the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show that featured Lady Gaga, as well as a slew of Grammys, Oscars, and other awards shows as well as American Idol and Billboard Music Awards shows. They in turn were paired with two pairs of DiGiCo SD5 consoles, one each for FOH and monitors and one more each as redundant backups. When you only have 12 minutes for what is arguably the premier televised music event of the year, you don’t take any chances.
All four consoles were on an Optocore networked loop that extended from the playing field, where over 100 volunteers were choreographed to move into place the pieces of the complex music stage, to the mid-level position in the 400 tier where Guessard mixed the show’s live sound from, and to the stadium’s rack room, where Pesa mixed IEMs and wedges while watching on a program monitor. They were also connected via a Riedel point-to-point intercom and partyline intercom matrix. Two DiGiCo SD-Racks served as stage boxes, while a pair of DiGiCo Orange Boxes converted Optocore to MADI to utilize Focusrite RedNet D64R units for MADI-to-Dante conversion for distribution to the NFL building studio. “Pretty much everything was interfaced with MADI or directly onto the DiGiCo loop,” said ATK Audiotek system design engineer Kirk Powell.
[DiGiCo Mixing Consoles Kept Joe Bonamassa Tours Rocking and Rolling]
They were also able to take advantage of the surfeit of dark fiber installed as part of the newly opened SoFi Stadium and its surrounding campus. However, it’s single-mode fiber there, while the DiGiCo desks are normalized for multimode fiber. To accommodate that and the longer distances in the stadium, Powell said they switched the transceivers to single mode.
Monitor World
This was Pesa’s 26th Super Bowl halftime event, but each one is so unique that no sense of it being simply an ordinary show ever has a chance to materialize. The pre-game music events were a warm-up for the crowd and for him, feeding Shure PSM 1000 IEMs to both vocalist Jhené Aiko and harpist Gracie Sprout for “America the Beautiful,” then to rising country music star Mickey Guyton, who sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” However, that doesn’t prepare one for the sheer SPL that poured onto the field once the hip-hop performances began, led by Dr. Dre, who joined with Snoop Dogg on the opening joint “The Next Episode,” and then segued into “California Love,” 2Pac’s Dre-produced hit that shouts out Watts, Compton, and Inglewood, meaningful neighborhoods in L.A. rap culture and all within a short low-rider jaunt of the venue.
Pesa, who estimates that it was the loudest halftime show in the event’s 50-plus-year history, says his task was to keep the monitors tight for each of the six artists and their RF microphones. “It’s important that the vocals not get washed out by the reverberation of the delayed return from inside the stadium,” he explained. Interestingly, it’s another form of reverb that helps him accomplish that. Pesa uses the vocal plate reverb setting on the SD5’s internal processing. “Adding a touch of the plate with a bit of slap to the monitors acts as an enhancement in the in-ears,” he said. “The stadium itself is taking care of the main reverb. This gives the monitor sound a different texture that helps keep it distinct. I’ll also use the onboard compression and multiband EQ. I prefer the stable environment that the console’s own processing gives me. I also like that I have all of the processing right there at my fingertips.”
Pesa usually works with the artists’ own monitor mixers in the rehearsals prior to the event, but for this year’s event one person, Jaymz Hardy-Martin III, acted as the collective spokesperson for most of the performers; Ryan Cecil, Eminem’s monitor mixer, was also on hand during rehearsals. “Everyone has notes for their artists’ expectations and it comes together pretty smoothly,” he said.

Out Front
Guessard has also worked a double-digit number of Super Bowl halftime shows, 13 in total, including six as both the front-of-house mixer and system designer. He has truly heard it all when it comes to the massive venues the shows call home. “The stadiums aren’t really designed for music shows,” said Guessard, who also designs the temporary JBL-equipped wheeled-cart sound systems deployed for Super Bowl halftime performances. “They’re designed to amplify the noise of the hometown crowd. This year the reverb time was about eight seconds, which was OK, but in the past, it’s been as long as 10 seconds or more. It’s a challenging environment in which to mix music.”
Guessard said he’s come to rely on DiGiCo desks to help navigate such environments. “For mixing, the SD5 is a fast console, the way it’s laid out,” he said. “The bells and whistles are there, but so is the intuitive workflow design. I can access every fader I want quickly and accurately.” But he reserves his highest plaudits for the SD5’s ability to sit in a carefully crafted and highly redundant network scheme, along with a pair of SD-Racks and two DiGiCo Orange Boxes, the latter used to bridge between MADI and Dante and MADI and the Optocore loop all of these units shared at the show. “Through the Orange Boxes, I was getting signal from two different signal paths to the two SD5 consoles running in mirror mode, which gave us complete failover protection,” he said. “That way, I could keep mixing no matter what happened.”
[PixMob Wireless Lighting Scores Big with Immersive Experience at Super Bowl LVI]
As is typical on hip-hop shows, there were some pre-recorded tracks used by the performers, as well as the live vocals and several live instruments, including a cool piano beat by Dre. Guessard estimated that there were over 50 input channels on the show, all requiring sure, fast moves as the performers shifted on stage. “The SD5 makes sure I can find every input I need exactly when I need it,” he said. “It’s the console you want on your team for this show.”

The impact of only 25% of parents having a valid Will in place
South Africans were horrified by the news that Covid-19 has led to an estimated 134 500 orphans in our country.
This means that at least one in every 200 children in every age group will have experienced Covid-19-associated orphanhood.
By this time this figure is even higher, since the research had only been done up to the end of October 2021. In what researchers describe as a “heart-breaking hidden pandemic”, millions of children globally have been orphaned or lost a caregiver due to Covid-19.
South Africa ranked second-highest of the 21 countries modelled, with 7.22 orphans per 1 000, behind Peru (8.28), according to the study in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.
Globally, between at least 5.2 million children had been orphaned or lost a caregiver due to Covid-19 up to October 2021, the study estimates. However, in regions such as Africa, estimates remain often vastly under-reported.
“Children of all ages experience grief and might also experience inadequate care, altered mood of the surviving parent or caregiver, food insecurity, marginal housing and family disintegration. Younger bereaved children need immediate full-time nurturing and ongoing support for early childhood development. The quality of care affects their subsequent development, health, and mental health.
“Adolescents face post-orphanhood risks (varying across contexts) including sexual violence, exploitation, HIV infection, suicide and child labour. It also includes adolescent pregnancy, separation from family, household poverty, and leaving school to care for younger siblings,” the study states.
It defines orphanhood as the death of one or both parents; primary caregiver loss as the death of one or both parents, or of one or both co-residing custodial grandparents aged 60–84 years.
What happens to orphans if there is no Last Will and Testament in Place:
In extreme cases your children may be taken to a place of safe care, if you pass away without a Last Will and Testament and no legal guardians have been nominated or are easily contactable.
As if your children being extremely traumatised by your passing is not enough, them being taken away from home is a thought that is nearly too much to bear. But it happens, and on a larger scale since the onslaught of Covid-19, as the mentioned study indicates.
How is a child placed in safe care?
“A social worker or police official may believe a child is in urgent need of care and protection and any delay will endanger the child. The child may be then removed without a court order and placed in temporary safe care (Chapter 9, Section 152 Children’s Act).”
Often, children will be temporarily placed in the care of friendly neighbours, friends or family until the court decides where they should be placed on a permanent basis. This is only if the neighbours, friends or family are willing to help.
A Last Will and Testament can prevent the above scenario from playing out and is one of the biggest favours you can do for your minor children.
Debunking the myths of getting a Last Will and Testament:
Sometimes parents, and especially single parents, work so hard to provide for their kids that they simply fail to find the time to get a Last Will and Testament drawn up. Several myths may also contribute to the delay in drawing up their Will:
- Time consuming: Most people think drawing up a Last Will and Testament will take a great deal of time and effort and they continually put it off to “one day”.
- Expensive: Many people think that getting your Will drawn up by an expert is a costly exercise.
- Only for the wealthy: Many people are of the opinion that Wills are only for the wealthy and those with many assets such as multiple properties and companies.
These three myths couldn’t be further from the truth, and Capital Legacy has spent the last 10 years helping over 380 000 South Africans get their Wills in place — but there is still a long way to go to change the appalling statistics in this country.
Covid-19 has shown that entire households can pass away, which highlights the urgent need for parents to draw up a Last Will and Testament.
Single parents in South Africa
Almost as shocking as the number of Covid-19 orphans is the number of single parents in South Africa.
Research conducted over a period of five years shows that 60% of South African children have absent fathers. More than 40% of South African mothers are single parents. This research was done by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and the South African Race Relations Institute (SARRI) and published in 2019 (pre-Covid).
Most minor children in South Africa (43%) live with their biological mother only, 2% with their biological father, and 19% do not live with either of their biological parents. Heartbreakingly, only 36% of South African children live with both their parents.
The definition of a single parent is “someone who has a child or children but no husband, wife or partner who lives with them”.
Another chilling statistic is that only 25% of some 60 million South Africans have a valid Will in place. This means that 75% of us leave our children’s future in the hands of the government after death. The same applies to the administration of our Estates, which could lead to an unfair distribution of your legacy.
What happens to my assets if I die without a Last Will and Testament?
If this happens, you die intestate. As minor children are not allowed to own assets, the Master of the High Court will then appoint an executor to see to the administration of your Estate. Creditors against your Estate aside, preference will be given to your spouse and children as far as your Estate is concerned.
The assets due to your minor children could be put into the Guardian Fund. The Government created the Guardian Fund to receive and manage money on behalf of persons legally incapable or who cannot manage their own affairs. This includes minors and mentally disabled people. The Court will also appoint a Guardian for your minor children. The Guardian may then claim against the Guardian Fund for the children’s expenses.
However, this is a cumbersome process, and all claims are scrutinised to eliminate false claims, which could take a long time. If there are any assets left by the time the minor children turn 18, they may apply to the Guardian Fund for their assets to be released to them.
Advantages of having a Last Will and Testament
- The parent nominates Guardians for the children. This means that it is people the parent and the children know and trust. It is vital that more than one Guardian is nominated. If the parent passes, this will show who should be contacted if the first nominated Guardians could not be reached.
- A Last Will and Testament also avoids confusion amongst relatives as far as inheritance of assets is concerned, and appoints an executor to manage the Estate.
- Assets meant for the children may be left in a Testamentary Trust that is managed professionally by a trusted company like Capital Legacy. This will safeguard the children’s future and address issues like property being left as part of the inheritance, who is going to take care of the funds and when will the appropriate age be to remit all the monies to the children.
- Having a Last Will and Testament with a Testamentary Trust for minors also makes it significantly easier and faster to access funds for the children.
- Capital Legacy will also calculate the various costs associated with passing away, including executor, conveyancing and trust fees, and advise on the best way to mitigate these costs to ensure your estate is not financially strained due to liquidity issues.
Getting your Will drafted with Capital Legacy is quicker and easier than you might think and knowing that your children and their inheritance will be looked after should you pass away will certainly help a parent to rest easier at night.
