Can You Negotiate Your COVID-19 Hospital Bills?
Since health insurance companies have rolled back waivers for hospital costs related to COVID-19, a COVID-19 hospitalization could result in a startlingly high bill from health care providers, according to a recent study from the University of Michigan and Boston University.
Of people who had private insurance from March 2020 to March 2021 and were billed for a COVID-19 hospitalization, the average out-of-pocket cost was almost $4,000. Among people with Medicare Advantage, the average bill was about $1,600. This included hospital care and physician services.
It can be stressful to face a high medical bill for something that’s out of your control, particularly if a case of COVID-19 prevented you from working for a while or left you with lingering health issues. However, hospital bills can sometimes be adjusted or negotiated down. Here are some strategies you can try.
Organize your COVID-19 hospital bills
Gather your materials, including all your bills, your insurance card and any explanations of benefits that you’ve received. Review your COVID-19 hospital bills and make sure you recognize all of the charges.
“Do you remember getting that MRI?” says AnnMarie McIlwain, CEO of Patient Advocators in New Jersey. (Patient advocates help clients with medical challenges, from finding the right treatment to handling billing and insurance issues.) “Did you actually talk to that gastroenterologist? There are frequently charges on bills that are false, that shouldn’t be there.”
Also double-check that each claim appears to have been processed correctly by your insurer. Typically, a processed claim will show a plan discount and allowed claim amount, plus any payment from the plan if you’ve met your deductible for the year.
“If you don’t see a payment or adjustment, there’s a chance they didn’t file,” says Jennifer Kastner, owner of Patient Advocacy Solutions in Georgia. Your insurance may also have denied the claim, so follow up with your insurer before you start working for a bill adjustment.
Note: An explanation of benefits, or EOB, is a statement from your health insurance company that tells you how the company is covering the medical care you received. It’s not a bill.
Ask about financial assistance
If you’re dealing with a larger medical bill than you can handle, call the hospital billing office and ask if you qualify for financial assistance or financial relief. This is sometimes called charitable assistance.
“The worst they can say is ‘No,’” says Caitlin Donovan, a spokesperson for the Patient Advocate Foundation, based in Virginia.
If you’re planning to ask for assistance, you’ll need some basic financial numbers. “You’re going to want to know generally how much you make in a year, what you can afford to pay per year and what you can afford to pay upfront,” Donovan says.
You can also ask about a payment plan, which will allow you to pay your hospital bill over time. Generally, these don’t charge interest, so they’re a better option than putting a big medical charge on your credit card or taking out a loan. “You won’t have to worry about medical bills showing up on a credit report, which is not what you want,” says Donovan.
Just make sure you can handle the monthly payment for the long term. “You don’t want to get into a situation where you can’t afford to pay that bill and it ends up going to collections, or you end up cutting corners in other parts of your life where you really shouldn’t,” Donovan says.
Offer cash
If you’re in a position to offer an all-cash payment for a sizable part of the balance, try it.
“Cash is a word they like to hear in the billing office, and if you’re willing to pay something off quickly and via cash, sometimes they will give you a percentage off,” McIlwain says. “I would say 20% [off] would be a good number to propose.”
That said, McIlwain says if you’re feeling like the bill seems too high to handle, you’re probably not in a position to make an 80% payment on the balance.
Appeal in person
If you’re dealing with a bill from a local hospital and you need help, see if it’s possible to visit the billing office or billing window.
“It’s a lot harder to not have compassion for someone when they’re standing in front of you,” McIlwain says.
If you can’t go in person, do your best to stay calm on the phone. Try and make the person on the other end of the phone your ally in your journey to solve this problem. Getting mad or angry is a natural reaction, but it won’t help. “They’re more inclined to try and get you off the phone quickly when you allow emotion to get the better of you,” says McIlwain.
Keep good records
Once you start this process, keep track of every step. Write everything down in a notebook or keep a digital document or spreadsheet with a note on every phone call, every letter sent and every person you talk to (and what they say). When you send a message through a patient portal, make a note of it. The better your records, the more equipped you’ll be to explain how diligently you’ve worked to take care of your bill.
Another tip: When you’re speaking to the insurance company, always ask for a reference number.
“These people are getting tons of calls a day,” Kastner says. “You want to have reference numbers to refer to.”
Hire help if you need it
It may happen that, despite your best efforts, you can’t resolve a crippling medical bill, or you find it too overwhelming. A patient advocate may be able to help. This is a person who can make phone calls on your behalf — to your medical providers, the hospital, your insurer and any other parties that may be involved. Typically, patient advocates are experienced in areas like health care, insurance and medical billing.
Prices can vary for this. Some organizations charge a flat fee, while others charge a percentage of whatever they save you. The Patient Advocate Foundation is free for patients who have a serious or chronic health condition.
“One of the problems with the whole system is that we’re talking about people who are sick, who are tired, and who are dealing with new diagnoses,” Donovan says. “And we’re asking them to do a lot of work. So asking for assistance, be it just having a family member be on the phone call or asking a professional to help you, is always a good idea.”

Warning over listeria outbreaks as surge in cases cause vomiting and diarrhoea
OFFICIALS have warned of outbreaks of listeria, a bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea.
Listeriosis is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, people with health conditions or on immunosuppressant medication and those over 65.
A surge in cases has now been linked to smoked fish, with experts urging people to take care preparing it.
Six cases of listeriosis have been reported since the start of the year, which is the same counted in 2020 and 2021 combined.
But in 2019, there were 142 confirmed cases in England and Wales.
The majority of the 12 cases since 2020, in England and Scotland, had reported eating smoked fish, a statement from The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said.
At risk groups
Professor Saheer Gharbia, Interim Deputy Director Gastrointestinal Infections and Food Safety (One Health) at The UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA), said: “Listeria infection in most people is usually either unnoticed or may cause very mild gastrointestinal illness.
“However, it can have more serious consequences for some people, particularly those with pre-existing health conditions that cause weakened immunity, and people who are pregnant.”
Pregnant women are at increased risk of developing listeriosis by around 20 times.
It can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, or severe illness in their newborn babies.
A third of cases in pregnant women in 2019 resulted in stillbirth or miscarriage in England and Wales.
More serious infections such as severe sepsis and meningitis can develop in those with weakened immune systems or those over 65 years of age.
People with cancer, organ transplants, HIV or taking oral steroids are just some of the other vulnerable groups.
The mortality rate of severe listeriosis, affecting higher-risk people, is 20 to 30 per cent, according to the World Health Organization.
Symptoms to watch for
For most people, listeriosis is a mild illness that gets better on its own.
You may experience:
- A high temperature of 38C or above
- Aches and pains
- Chills
- Feeling or being sick
- Diarrhoea
Signs of a more serious infection include:
- Stiff neck
- Confusion
- Loss of balance
- Convulsions
Pregnant women may also have:
- A stomach ache
- Feel their baby moving less than usual
Food care
The bacteria Listeria is widespread in the environment and can contaminate food at low temperatures, but be destroyed by cooking.
Therefore, chilled foods that don’t need cooking are more likely to carry the deadly bug.
Previous outbreaks have been linked to cold meats and pre-prepared sandwiches.
In 2019, there was a significant listeria outbreak in NHS hospitals caused by contaminated sandwiches, leading to the deaths of seven people.
The most common kinds of smoked fish are salmon and mackeral.
Prof Gharbia said: “There are certain foods that are more risky.
“And in light of this outbreak, we are advising pregnant and vulnerable people to thoroughly cook smoked fish before eating it.”
Tina Potter, FSA Head of Incidents, said: “We are reminding people who are vulnerable to listeria infection… of the risks in consuming smoked fish and asking them to make sure that the smoked fish is always thoroughly cooked including when served as part of a dish before they eat it.
“Members of the public do not need to avoid these products, but should ensure risks are reduced as far as possible.
“You can do this by keeping chilled ready-to-eat smoked fish cold (5⁰C or below), always using products by their use-by date, following the storage and usage instructions on the label, and cooking or reheating smoked fish until it is piping hot right through.”

Are you in the mood for live jazz music this weekend? Champaign Central High School is the place to be.
For the first time since 2019, Central is hosting its annual Jazz Fest on Friday and Saturday. This will be the 53rd edition, with the past two events scrapped because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I am super excited about it,” Central band director John Currey said.
A possible strike by teachers threatened the performances too. But fortunately, a contract agreement was reached in time.
Tickets are $5 at the door both days. Admission is free for elementary school students with a paid adult.
On Friday, the music runs from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday’s session is from 4 to 10 p.m. The bands will perform in dressed-up Combes Gym and Seeley Hall, which will have cafe/nightclub feel.
Currey encourages the public to attend.
All of the local schools are participating, with Central joined by Centennial; Edison, Franklin and Jefferson middle schools; Urbana middle and high schools; and Mahomet-Seymour Junior High, whose band is led by a former Central student.
Also playing Saturday: the Iron Post Jazz Ensemble, a group of older musicians.
This year’s guest artist is University of Illinois School of Music faculty member Tito Carrillo. He worked with the Central band earlier in the week and will play both Friday and Saturday night with the Central Jazz Ensemble. Carrillo is conducting a free clinic from 4 to 5 p.m. Saturday. It is open to anyone.
Currey and the Central band are getting ready for a big move into its new room at the renovated high school. The program has been operating out of a local church while the work is being done.

56% Of U.S. Companies Have Experienced Pay Compression In The Last 12 Months, Robert Half Research Finds
- Of those, 62% are increasing salaries for current staff to help close wage gaps
- Robert Half Salary Guide features data to benchmark compensation for 500-plus positions
MENLO PARK, Calif., April 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Many companies are taking measures to increase pay equity among workers, research from talent solutions and business consulting firm Robert Half shows. More than half of C-suite executives surveyed (56%) said they have observed salary discrepancies between new hires and more tenured staff in the past year. Of those, 62% are regularly reviewing compensation plans and increasing salaries for existing employees, when appropriate, to align with current market rates.
"Market conditions have shifted dramatically, and savvy employers are stepping up to address salary gaps and ensure all employees are being paid fairly," said Robert Half senior executive director Paul McDonald. "They know that taking a cautious 'wait-and-see' approach on compensation is risky and can lead to the loss of great talent."
Workers Expect a Raise
There are several factors at play when it comes to wage growth, and employees' expectations are among them. In a separate survey of more than 1,000 U.S. workers, one-third of respondents (34%) said they have not had a raise in 12 months and another 16% received one but were disappointed with the amount. In addition, nearly two-thirds (62%) plan to ask for a raise this year, with the top reasons being:
- To adjust for the higher cost of living (30%)
- To reflect current market rates (23%)
- To account for additional job responsibilities (22%)
If workers don't get a raise:
- 31% will ask to revisit the salary conversation in a few months
- 27% will look for a new job with higher pay
- 23% will ask for more perks
View infographics of the research highlights.
McDonald noted, "In addition to setting competitive salaries, companies must consider the entire employee experience and deliver programs that satisfy their professional and personal needs. Career advancement and remote options are two big priorities for workers today."

How to watch SpaceX launch first all-commercial crew to space station
SpaceX and the Houston-based company Axiom Space are gearing up to make history by launching four private citizens to the International Space Station on Friday. The mission is the first NASA-sanctioned, fully commercial flight to the International Space Station — a key step in a government push to encourage private-sector development on the high frontier.
The crew of four is led by mission commander Michael López-Alegría, a former NASA astronaut and now a vice president at Axiom Space. He is joined aboard by three entrepreneur-philanthropists: American Larry Connor, Canadian Mark Pathy and Israeli Eytan Stibbe. They are set to blast off from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:17 a.m. EDT Friday.
How to watch the SpaceX launch
- What: SpaceX launches first all-commercial crew to the International Space Station
- Date: Friday, April 8, 2022
- Time: Scheduled for 11:17 a.m. EDT
- Location: The Kennedy Space Center, Florida
- Online stream: Live on CBS News in the video player above and on your mobile or streaming device
"Weather is 90% favorable for liftoff," SpaceX tweeted Friday morning.
The Axiom 1 mission, or Ax-1 for short, will mark the sixth piloted launch of a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. It's the second fully commercial flight to orbit — following the privately financed Inspiration4 mission last September — and the first all-commercial visit to the International Space Station.
"This really looks like a government NASA mission from the outside. The difference is, it's a private company and these are private customers. And this is a real turning point in human space flight," López-Alegría told CBS News senior national correspondent Mark Strassmann.
Over the last two decades, 11 private astronauts, or "space tourists," have visited the space station under commercial arrangements with the Russian space agency, but they were all accompanied by professional cosmonauts. The Ax-1 crew is the first all-commercial, non-government flight to the station and the first sanctioned by NASA.
Opening the space station to commercial use is part of a push by NASA to facilitate private-sector operations in low-Earth orbit and to encourage development of commercially operated research stations after the ISS is retired in the 2030 timeframe.
So far, Axiom Space has booked four private astronaut missions through SpaceX and is designing modules that will be attached to the station for commercial use. Before the lab is retired, a solar power and cooling system will be added so the Axiom modules can be disconnected to fly on their own as an independent outpost.
"This is a historic mission for two reasons," said Axiom CEO Mike Suffredini, a former NASA space station program manager. "This is the first completely private mission to the International Space Station. In addition to that, Axiom Space was founded to build a commercial space station, the first module will launch in a little over two years from now.
"But this is our very first mission of probably hundreds of missions to come over the next several decades as we build the Axiom space station and provide services in low-Earth orbit for many decades to come."
Assuming an on-time takeoff, the capsule will make an automated 20-hour rendezvous and approach to the space station, moving in for docking at the forward Harmony module's space-facing port around 7:45 a.m. Saturday.
The Axiom-1 crew plans to spend a little more than a week aboard the lab complex carrying out a variety of commercially-sponsored bio-medical experiments, technology demonstrations and outreach before undocking and returning to Earth with splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, depending on the weather.
Meet the crew
Michael López-Alegría is a veteran of four space flights, including a long-duration stay on the station, logging a cumulative 257 days off planet before retiring from NASA in 2012. He received refresher training for the Ax-1 mission and serves as a mentor to his rookie crewmates.
Larry Connor, a veteran private pilot, is a "non-profit activist investor" and founder of the Connor Group, a real estate investment firm managing $3.5 billion in assets. He is an acrobatic pilot, off-road racer and mountaineer.
Mark Pathy is an investor/philanthropist, chairman and CEO of a Montreal-based investment and finance company.
Eytan Stibbe flew F-16 jets in the Israeli air force, later serving in the reserves while building a successful business career. During active duty, he served under Ilan Ramon, who went on to become the first Israeli in space in but lost his life in the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster.

After seeking a ban on halal, Muslim traders in temples and religious fairs, the Hindu organisations have now started another campaign asking Hindus not to engage Muslim drivers and Muslim-owned transport companies when they go for temple tours and pilgrimages.
Prashanth Bangera of Bharatha Rakshana Vedike on Friday made an appeal to Hindus not to take Muslim drivers with them when they go for temple trips and pilgrimages. He had also given out a call to not to use vehicles owned by Muslim transport companies.
He urged that all Hindu organisations should support his call and bring awareness among the people in this regad. Sri Ram Sena lent its support to this call.
Meanwhile, Pramod Muthalik, founder of Sri Ram Sena has urged that Muzrai department should issue notice to the Muslim merchants and vendors in famous Savadatti Yallamma pilgrimage center in Belagavi district of north Karnataka.
He maintained that if the shops were not vacated, Sri Ram Sena activists would meet Muzrai Minister Shashikala Jolle and demand to vacate them.
Pramod Muthalik had met the Deputy Speaker and BJP MLA Anand Mamani earlier and urged that non-Hindu merchants should be vacated from the premises of the Savadatti Yellamma pilgrimage center. He stated that lakhs of pilgrims visited the temple and there are more than 50 per cent of Muslim merchants carrying out their business here, he had claimed.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent Hindi language push has drawn ire in Karnataka with Opposition leader Siddaramaiah on Friday criticising it.
“The statement is not only against the federal principles of the country but also an insult to other languages. Amit Shah should immediately withdraw the statement,” he said.
Also, the social media in the state is abuzz with comments under the hashtag #IndiaAgainstHindiImposition.
Siddaramaiah, a former Karnataka Chief Minister, dubbed it as an attempt to impose Hindi language in the country, saying he won’t be quiet if any attempt is made to impose Hindi.
“Time has come for the non-Hindi states to stage a protest,” he noted.
Some Kannada organisations have also reacted, submitting they won’t be quiet if Hindi is imposed in the state.
Amit Shah has stated that people from different states should speak in Hindi, not English and he also stated that Hindi should be accepted as an alternative to English.
“Amit Shah’s diktat of asking states to use Hindi as a language of communication instead of English is objectionable,” Siddaramaiah, a Congress veteran, said.
“As a Kannadiga with self-respect, I condemn Shah’s statement,” he said.
“We are not against Hindi, English, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati languages. However, the priority in Karnataka should be given to the Kannada language. If any attempt is made to impose Hindi, it is not possible to remain quiet,” he said.
Siddaramaiah said it is unfortunate to see Shah promoting Hindi language, and “carry out the slavery of Hindi” by neglecting his mother tongue Gujarati, as he hails from Gujarat.
“Mahatma Gandhi who hailed from Gujarat was a proponent of diversity, different languages, ethos. But, it is a tragedy that Amit Shah sees a role model not in Mahatma Gandhi but in Veer Savarkar, a pseudo-nationalist and proponent of ‘one culture’ and ‘one language’,” the Congress leader said.

If muscles, tension, soreness or nerves have you feeling like you’re tied in a knot, maybe it’s time to unwind and try a yoga routine.
Instructor Casey Lesmeister said yoga is a body, mind and spiritual practice with various styles of combined physical postures, breathwork and meditation for relaxation to promote mental and physical well-being.
Lesmeister recently conducted a 45-minute restorative yoga class at the Muchnic Gallery in Atchison. Restorative yoga is slower-paced but offers a soothing and relaxing class of poses at floor level. More meditative than some other yoga styles, the restorative practice focuses on the breath as the central tool to maintain a mindful presence. Students practice a series of poses from three to five minutes each on the floor and are supported with soft items like bolsters, blankets, blocks and/or straps. Restorative yoga is for all levels.
The corpse and butterfly are relaxed poses. Others with various twists are executed atop a cushion laid flat on the floor.
Lesmeister also is registered to teach gentle flow yoga, which consists of various poses to increase balance, strength, stability and flexibility. The gentle flow yoga practice also includes breathing and mediation. The practice is adaptable to suit all student levels ranging from beginners to the more advanced.
The yoga practice often is practiced amid calm, meditative settings neutralized with soft musical tones or sounds of nature like a gentle breeze, a bird chirping and a babbling stream.
Whether one practices yoga indoors or outdoors where ever one can relax offers an ambient setting.
“The warmth and charm of the Muchnic create the space to practice yoga,” Leismeister said about the atmosphere there. “I love feeling the warm sun coming through the stained glass on a bright sunny evening.”

Park Avenue Chamber Symphony Brings Mahler Back To New York City
Mahler's Triumph will take place at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music.
The Park Avenue Chamber Symphony will conclude its 2021-2022 season with a blockbuster event on Saturday, May 14th at 5PM led by Music Director David Bernard-"Mahler's Triumph"-a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 5 with the audience seated amongst the musicians. This will be the first full performance of a large-scale Mahler Symphony in NYC since March of 2020.
"It is so exciting to bring Mahler back to NYC, and it is even more exciting to supercharge the experience of Mahler for our audience through the fully immersive InsideOut format," says PACS music director David Bernard. "While Mahler's symphonies are always a wild ride through the mind and life of the composer for all who listen to them, THIS audience will see, hear and feel the music and the music making, taking the experience to a whole other level. In many ways, Mahler was made for InsideOut." says Bernard.
David Bernard has developed InsideOut Concerts into a "classical music audience generator" for orchestras, bringing immersion and interactivity to the concert hall. In addition to regular InsideOut Concerts events with the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony, Maestro Bernard has presented InsideOut Concerts events with the Greenwich (CT) Symphony, the Danbury (CT) Symphony and the Massapequa Philharmonic.
Mahler's Triumph will take place at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music, 450 West 37th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues in NYC. Tickets are available online through Eventbrite at this link: https://bit.ly/PACSMagnificentMahlerFull Following the event, audience members will attend a reception where they will meet the conductor and orchestra members.

China relies on traditional medicine to fight COVID surge in Shanghai
SHANGHAI, April 6 (Reuters) - Shanghai is distributing to residents millions of boxes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as herbal products and flu capsules, which it says can treat COVID-19 in the battle to control its largest virus outbreak.
China's commercial capital, now under an extended lockdown, reported more than 17,000 new COVID-19 infections on April 5, including 311 symptomatic cases, among a population of more than 26 million. read more
"Facing the extremely transmissible Omicron variant, we should use TCM treatment as soon as possible," said Fang Min, president of the city's Shuguang Hospital.
"For general public, including high-risk groups, taking TCM treatment when the epidemic is severe has good preventive effect," he told a news briefing on Tuesday, adding that such treatments for more than 21 million people had been handed out.
Several residents told Reuters they had received free boxes of over-the-counter flu medicine Lianhua Qingwen from neighbourhood committees in recent weeks. Others who caught COVID said they got TCM medication to be dissolved in hot water.
About 98% of Shanghai's COVID-19 patients are taking TCM treatment, and teams of TCM workers have fanned out to designated hospitals and quarantine sites since the latest outbreak began in March, Fang said.
China's health authority has recommended several TCM drugs and ingredients, such as Lianhua Qingwen, for use by COVID-19 patients, although a lack of reliable clinical data limits their use outside the country.
Singapore, which has a large ethnic Chinese population, said in November there was no scientific evidence from randomised clinical trials that any herbal product, including Lianhua Qingwen, could be used to prevent or treat COVID-19.
It advised the use of all herbal products formulated for common cold and flu only to manage symptoms such as headaches, runny or blocked noses, sore throats and coughs.
In 2020, the U.S. regulator the Food and Drugs Administration, warned vendors of Lianhua Qingwen to stop selling it as a COVID-19 treatment.
Officials in Shanghai's district of Hongkou have distributed 722,000 boxes of Lianhua Qingwen capsules, and aim to give all residents preventive TCM medicines such as herbs and tea bags, said the Shanghai Daily, which is owned by the local government.
Shijiazhuang Yiling Pharmaceutical (002603.SZ), the maker of Lianhua Qingwen, has said a 2020 clinical trial showed that it could, along with conventional therapy, relieve COVID-19 symptoms such as fever and cough.
China approved several treatments including Pfizer Inc's (PFE.N) Paxlovid and Brii Biosciences Ltd's (2137.HK) antibody-based medicine to treat COVID patients, but it is not clear how widely they are used.

NEW YORK — Two Black coaches joined Brian Flores on Thursday in his lawsuit alleging racist hiring practices by the NFL when there are vacancies for coaches and general managers.
The updated lawsuit in Manhattan federal court added coaches Steve Wilks and Ray Horton.
The lawsuit said Wilks was discriminated against by the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 when he was hired as a “bridge coach” but was given no meaningful chance to succeed, while Horton was subjected to discriminatory treatment when he was given a sham interview for the Tennessee Titans head coach position in January 2016.
Flores also criticized the NFL in the rewritten lawsuit for its response to the lawsuit he brought against it and its teams several weeks ago.
The lawsuit added the Houston Texans to the teams Flores has alleged discriminated against him, saying the Texans engaged in “blatant retaliation” by removing him from consideration for its head coach vacancy after he sued the league.
In a release from the lawsuit’s attorneys, Wilks said he hoped the lawsuit would help bring racial equality to the league. Arizona replaced Wilks with Kliff Kingsbury, a white man with no NFL coaching experience, and gave a white general manager an extension despite a drunk driving conviction.
“When Coach Flores filed this action, I knew I owed it to myself, and to all Black NFL coaches and aspiring coaches, to stand with him,” Wilks said. “This lawsuit has shed further important light on a problem that we all know exists, but that too few are willing to confront. Black coaches and candidates should have exactly the same ability to become employed, and remain employed, as white coaches and candidates.”
Horton said he was “devastated and humiliated” when he learned that his interview with the Titans was a sham.
“By joining this case, I am hoping to turn that experience into a positive and make lasting change and create true equal opportunity in the future,” he said.
The NFL declined to comment Thursday.
“The decisions we made after the 2018 season were very difficult ones,” the Arizona Cardinals said in a statement. “But as we said at the time, they were entirely driven by what was in the best interests of our organization and necessary for team improvement. We are confident that the facts reflect that and demonstrate that these allegations are untrue.”
Houston, in a statement, said its search for a head coach was “very thorough and inclusive.”
“Due to his previous success as a coach in the NFL, Brian Flores was among the first candidates we held a formal interview with for the position and he remained a candidate until the very end,” it said. “We enjoyed our multiple conversations with Brian regarding his vision for our organization.”
It added: “In the end, we made the decision to hire Lovie Smith as our head coach and we believe he is the best fit for our team moving forward. It was a very fluid process that allowed us to spend time with a number of quality candidates. We are proud of our decision and will vigorously defend our process.”
Smith, who is Black, was announced as the Texans head coach in February. He served as the team’s defensive coordinator in 2021.
The Titans in a statement defended their 2016 coach selection process as “thoughtful and competitive,” saying it obeyed NFL guidelines and its organizational values.
“We conducted detailed, in-person interviews with four talented individuals, two of whom were diverse candidates. No decision was made, and no decision was communicated, prior to the completion of all interviews,” the Titans said.
The Titans concluded their interview with Horton by midday Jan. 16, 2016, and announced Mularkey was hired hours later. Mularkey said on a podcast in 2020 that he still regretted taking part in the interview process after having been told he would be the Titans’ head coach before they satisfied the Rooney Rule.
“I sat there knowing I was the head coach in ’16 as they went through this fake hiring process ...,” Mularkey said then. “I’m sorry I did that. It was not the way to go about it.”
Flores sued the NFL and three teams on Feb. 1 after he was fired as Miami Dolphins coach in January after leading the Dolphins to a 24-25 record over three years. They went 9-8 in their second straight winning season, but failed to make the playoffs during his tenure.
He has since been hired as an assistant coach by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In the updated lawsuit Thursday, lawyers for Flores noted that the NFL responded to the lawsuit in February by saying it was “without merit” but its executives have made statements and taken steps in “unguarded moments” that showed it “has begrudgingly acknowledged the decades-long problem of systemic discrimination.”
The lawsuit, as it did previously, seeks class-action status and unspecified damages from the league and individual teams. It alleges that the league has discriminated against Flores and other Black coaches for racial reasons, denying them positions as head coaches and other top coaching posts as well as a chance to be a general manager.
It also highlights the lack of progress in the two decades since the “Rooney Rule” — named after former Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney — was created to give more minority candidates opportunities to become a head coach.
In 2020, the NFL amended the Rooney Rule to stipulate teams must interview at least two minority candidates not associated with their team for a head coaching vacancy and one minority candidate for coordinator positions and high-ranking front office positions, including general manager.
Last month, the NFL changed it again to require its 32 clubs to employ a woman or a member of an ethnic or racial minority to serve as an offensive assistant coach.

One-year cancer survival rate continues to increase in Greater Preston – but early diagnosis lags behind
The survival rate of cancer patients in Greater Preston one year after diagnosis is still on the rise, new figures show.
But it comes as early diagnosis rates lag behind Government targets for 75% of cancer cases to be detected at stage one or two by 2028.
A panel of experts appointed by MPs has described the Government's commitment to cancer care across England as "inadequate", while former health secretary Jeremy Hunt warned cancer survival could "go into reverse" as a result of missed early diagnoses.
NHS Digital figures show 75.6% of people living in the NHS Greater Preston CCG area survived the first year after their cancer diagnosis in 2019.
This was up from 74.6% the year prior and 59.9% in 2004, when records began.
The figures do not include patients with prostate and non-melanoma skin cancers.
Across England, one-year survival rates steadily rose over 15 years, from 64.4% to 74.6%.
However, little progress has been made on early diagnosis and the national rate remains well below the 75% target, which was first announced as part of the NHS Long Term Plan in 2018.
Separate NHS Digital figures show just 55% of cancers were detected at earlier stages in 2019 – the latest available figures.
This was an increase of just 0.3 percentage points compared to 2013, when records began,
In Greater Preston, 57.5% of all cancer diagnoses in 2019 were classified as stage one or two, up from 56.9% over the same time period.
Mr Hunt, chairman of the Government's health and social care committee, which recently published a report on cancer services nationally, warned early cancer diagnosis is being jeopardised by staff shortages and the "damaging and prolonged impact" of the coronavirus pandemic.
He said the NHS is not on track to meet the Government's early cancer diagnosis target and that more than 340,000 people will miss out on an early diagnosis between 2019 and 2028 without fixing key issues.
Earlier this year, Health Secretary Sajid Javid declared a "national war on cancer" and announced a 10-year strategy would be published.
Minesh Patel, head of policy at Macmillan Cancer Support, said while there has been limited progress on cancer survival rates in recent years, the Government must address severe staff shortages and provide concrete solutions in its 10-Year Cancer Plan.
An NHS England spokesperson said cancer care is a priority for the organisation and the £3.8 billion plan to recover elective care over the next three years will help catch and treat more cancers at an early stage.
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "We recognise that business as usual on cancer is not enough – that’s why we have redoubled our efforts and are developing a 10-Year Cancer Plan to set out how we will lead the world in cancer care."
The DHSC has promised to tackle the Covid-19 backlog, reduce cancer waiting times and invest £8 billion over the next three years, adding to an extra £2 billion investment in 2021.

Salford Red Devils are in pole position to sign highly-rated Widnes Vikings forward Tyler Dupree. Rugby League Live understands the rampant forward has emerged as one of the most sought-after talents in the Championship following a string of impressive performances at the start of the season.
But despite interest from several Super League clubs, it is the Red Devils who are the frontrunners to secure his services ahead of the 2023 season.
A product of Leeds Rhinos' Academy system, the 22-year-old earned his stripes at Oldham after leaving the West Yorkshire club at the end of the 2020 season. He was named the Championship's young player of the year despite playing for the relegated Roughyeds after scoring ten tries in 18 appearances.
His form earned him a move to the Vikings where his form has continued and has seen him attract the attention of numerous clubs, including Salford. He has built a reputation for a ferocious first carry and destructive tackle.

Salford have made front-rowers a key priority for 2023 and in Dupree they have identified a young forward with potential who crucially will not take up an overseas player spot. The Red Devils will look to compliment Dupree's potential with more proven experience as part of their recruitment drive for next year.
Dupree will remain with Widnes for the rest of the season, but a Super League move beckons at the end of the year.

Cuerdale Garden Village plan for 1,300 homes rejected by locals in referendum
Campaigners trying to halt plans to build a garden village in the South Ribble countryside say they are “ecstatic” after a local referendum saw 98 percent of voters register their opposition to the proposed development.
In what is believed to have been the first poll of its kind held anywhere in Lancashire, residents in the Samlesbury and Cuerdale parish were asked whether they were for or against the 1,300-dwelling Story Homes scheme on greenbelt land just to the east of the M6. The proposal also includes a blueprint for a primary school, leisure facilities, a local shopping centre and employment space.
In answer to the question, “Do you oppose the Story Homes/Cuerdale Garden Village development?”, 474 people said “yes” and just nine - or two percent - responded “no”.
Turnout in the resounding – but non-binding – vote was 49 percent of the 982 eligible voters in the area, who were all invited to have their say at a polling station set up for five hours in the Samlesbury War Memorial Hall on Thursday afternoon and evening.
While the result has no direct bearing on whether or not permission will be granted for the development, Jasmine Gleave, chair of the recently-formed Save Samlesbury Action Group, says that worried locals “can only hope” that the housebuilder gets the message that they have been sent at the ballot box.
“They said that they would consult with us - so here you go. You’d like to think that Story Homes would respect the strength of feeling that has been shown.
“The turnout was amazing - there was such a rush, particularly in the first hour, that Cuerdale Lane was backed up with traffic.
“We also received messages from people who were abroad on holiday and so were unable to vote [postal voting was not permitted], but who would also have been opposing the development.
“We feel like we have done our best - we certainly couldn't have shouted any louder,” Jasmine added.
South Ribble Borough Council’s planning committee will ultimately determine any planning application for the garden village - and Samlesbury and Cuerdale Parish Council chair Graham Young says he hopes that they will be as “blown away” by the referendum result as he was.
“It should really strengthen the armour of our opposition that all these people - the electorate of the borough council - are against what is being planned.
“It’s just money to Story Homes - and I don't really blame them, they have to keep speculating. But I would hope they would now consider the result and go somewhere else,” said Cllr Young, who has previously warned that the proposed scheme would triple the size of the parish at a stroke.
The initial phase of the Cuerdale Garden Village would straddle the A59, Preston New Road, with most of the construction taking place on the south side of the dual carriageway, which leads to the Tickled Trout roundabout at junction 31 of the M6.
Responding to the referendum outcome, John Winstanley, Story Homes’ managing director for strategic land, said: “We are aware of the poll results and are actively engaging with the parish council.
“We have also recently undertaken our own extensive local consultation and are considering the feedback we received from the local community about our proposals for Cuerdale Garden Village.”
The developer estimates that up to 3,100 jobs could be created by the garden village once it is completed.
Story Homes has also set out the potential for a further 1,400 properties to be built - in a second phase of the proposed development - on land largely to the north of the A59.
The greenbelt status of the land means that “very special circumstances” would have to be demonstrated in order for permission for the proposal to be granted.

Meghalaya chief minister and National People’s Party (NPP) chief Conrad Sangma played the guitar and sang songs at Loyola Academy in Hyderabad on Friday, as he emphasised on the need to “channelise the potential of the youth" to take the country forward.
Speaking at the 43rd Annual College Day of the Loyola Academy, Sangma said, “Youth is our greatest strength. If the potential of the youth is channelised in the right direction, they can prove to be an asset. However, if they are misguided, the youth force of our country can be destructive".
Lauding institutes like Loyola Academy for shaping the young minds in the country, he said, “As political leaders, we should always communicate and engage with the youth and ensure their true potential is unleashed. For our nation to grow, we have to depend on our youth."
Sangma also met ITE and Communications Minister of Telangana KT Rama Rao.
Informing the gathering about his discussion with Rama Rao on Apple brand (mobile manufacturing company) and its turnover, which is close to 3 trillion USD, he said, “Apple is almost a 3-trillion-dollar company, and India’s GDP is not even 3 trillion … we have over 1.2 billion population. We, as a country, have to ponder and work together to take the country forward".
He handed over mementos to staffs, students and other members of the Loyola Academy for their contribution and achievements in different academic spheres.
He was last seen singing ‘Summer of 69’ in Shillong last year.

Manu stars as Roosters edge Broncos in NRL
Joseph Manu has won a battle of the centres against Brisbane's Kotoni Staggs as the Sydney Roosters won an NRL thriller 24-20 at Suncorp Stadium.
Manu scored a second-half double, including a 74th-minute effort when he dragged two Broncos over the line before finishing the game with eight tackle busts and two linebreaks in an all-action display.
Sam Walker, who shunned the Broncos to start his NRL career at Bondi, iced the game with a crucial conversion from the touchline before then setting up a try to Sitili Tupouniua which proved decisive in the 76th-minute.
Brisbane, after a week of off-field turmoil following a video of teammates Payne Haas and Albert Kelly fighting at a Sydney hotel emerged on social media, have now lost three in a row despite Staggs' stellar display.
Corey Oates completed his hat-trick with less than two minutes to play as the Broncos tried to snatch the win but Adam Reynolds' missed conversion proved costly as the Broncos received a penalty with seven seconds to play but had to go for a hail-mary try.
The drama-packed finish came after a first half dominated by Staggs.
After Oates had opened the scoring in the 19th minute, Staggs stole the show with a brilliant individual try in the 35th.
The Brisbane centre shrugged off Paul Momirovski before crashing through Walker and going over to have the home crowd on their feet.
Staggs ended the game with 182 running metres and 13 tackle busts in a great performance on a beaten team.
Manu took over in the second half as the Roosters mounted a comeback, wiping out their 10-point deficit within 14 minutes through tries to Walker and Manu.
Oates' second put the hosts back in front before Manu and then Tupouniua's late efforts got the visitors home, despite the dramatic late finish by the hosts.
"I loved the game. Thought it was a great game ... the Broncos nailed the game tonight. They came out and lots of guys had their best games of the year tonight and I loved it from our factor," Roosters coach Trent Robinson said.
"The team didn't waver.
"We had some tries scored against us but the team didn't waver."
Brisbane coach Kevin Walters felt his team were unlucky to come away with nothing.
"Thought we probably deserved to win tonight to be honest but rugby league doesn't always give you what you deserve," Walters said.
"If we provide that character every week we're going to be a good footy side."
The Tricolours lost Nat Butcher early in the second half to a HIA after his head accidentally collided with Haas's knee just when it looked like the Rooster was going to score.
A pair of Roosters were put on report with Butcher cited for a first-half crusher tackle on Ryan James, while Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was penalised for dangerous contact after he twisted James' knee in the ruck.
Brisbane half Reynolds appeared to hurt his right knee with his first conversion attempt of the night but Walters confidently stated after the match his captain will be fit to face premiers Penrith next weekend.

Toy maker Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:MAT) is up 0.2% to trade at $21.85 this afternoon. The security breached a floor at the $22 level yesterday, slipping below the 120-day moving average for the first time since early February, as it cooled off from a Feb. 17, five-year high of $25.71. Traders may not want to shun Mattel stock yet, though, as it has also just pulled back to historically bullish trendline that could send shares back up the charts.
Digging deeper, the equity recently came within one standard deviation of its 200-day moving average. According to data from Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, comparable moves have occurred four times over the last three years, with MAT enjoying a positive one-month return 75% of the time, while averaging an 5.3% rise. A similar move from its current perch would put the equity just shy of the $23 mark once again.
What's more, the stock looks ripe for a short squeeze, which would push shares even higher. Short interest rose 9% over the last two reporting periods, and the 24.78 million shares sold short make up 7.1% of MAT's available float, or over one week's worth of pent-up buying power.
The options pits lean overwhelmingly optimistic towards the equity. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), MAT's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 34.93 stands higher than 89% of readings from the past year. This means long calls have been getting picked up at much faster-than-usual clip.
These options traders are in luck, as Mattel stock sports attractively priced premiums. This is the equity's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 35%, which ranks in the low 19th percentile of its 12-month range. This means options traders are pricing in relatively low volatility expectations right now.
7 Risk-Off Stocks to Buy as Inflation Remains at Record LevelsInflation has gone from a transitory problem that would take care of itself to an existential threat that is moving the Federal Reserve to take swift, aggressive action. In January 2022, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed inflation in the United States was at its highest level since 1982.
And the market is reacting predictably with what appears to be a shift from risk-on to risk-off assets. This is having a negative effect on many stocks, particularly in the tech sector, that are no longer justifying their extended valuations.
But investors are also seeing a drop in cryptocurrency prices and other speculative assets. This may be a short-term phenomenon, but if you’re an investor looking at how to make money in 2022; it’s time to get a little defensive. But playing defense doesn’t mean accepting mediocre growth. It simply means moving into stocks and sectors that are likely to benefit from high inflation and rising interest rates.
That’s the focus of this special presentation. We invite you to consider these seven risk-off stocks that look like strong candidates to increase in value even as inflation remains high.

Aadhaar-issuing body UIDAI and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO have signed a pact for technical collaboration.
NRSC would be developing ‘Bhuvan-Aadhar’ portal providing information and locations of the Aadhaar centres across India.
The portal also provides a facility to search the relevant Aadhaar centres by location, based on residents’ requirements.
“A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the Unique Identification Authority of India, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY)...and NRSC, ISRO, Hyderabad, for technical collaboration here today,” an official statement said.
The MoU was signed by Shailendra Singh, Deputy Director General of UIDAI and Prakash Chauhan, Director, NRSC in the presence of CEO of UIDAI. Other senior officers of UIDAI and NRSC were also present on the occasion.
“NRSC will also provide web-based portal to collect and store data pertaining to existing and new enrolment centres to improve citizen centric services by carrying out regular statutory inspections,” the statement said.
The collected data would be moderated for quality through approved authorities at regional level to ensure the precise information for residents about the centres along with online visualisation facility.

PUTRAJAYA: The government will continue providing the subsidy for performing the haj pilgrimage this year, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Idris Ahmad.
The minister, when giving the assurance, however said the government had yet to decide on the amount of subsidy to be given to haj pilgrims.
Idris said he would discuss with Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) on the cost of performing the pilgrimage for Muassasah haj pilgrims before presenting it to the Cabinet that would make the final decision on the matter.
“We will give the subsidy, insyaAllah. I cannot announce the amount yet as it is still under embargo,” he told the media after the Federal Territory Hospital Welfare Fund contribution presentation ceremony, here today.
Yesterday, TH, in a statement said that the cost of performing haj for Muassasah pilgrims this year was expected to increase to more than RM25,000 per person following the hike in taxes and new service charges imposed by the Saudi Arabian government.
It said the cost was due to a 12 per cent increase in cost for Muassasah pilgrims compared with RM22,900 in 2019, taking into account the hike in Value-added Tax (VAT) from five per cent to 15 per cent and some additional service charges.
TH has maintained the haj payment rate of RM9,980 for the past 13 years even though the cost of performing the pilgrimage has increased every year.
At today’s ceremony, Idris on behalf of the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) presented cash contributions totalling RM1.03 million to 12 hospitals and medical centres in the three federal territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya.
The recipients were Hospital Canselor Tunku Muhriz, National Heart Institute Foundation, Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Putrajaya Hospital, Universiti Malaya Medical Centre, Labuan Hospital, National Cancer Council, Tunku Azizah Hospital, Tuanku Mizan Armed Forces Hospital, National Cancer Institute, Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital and Malaysian Medical Welfare Fund.
Idris hoped that the contributions would be used by the hospitals and health institutions to help less fortunate patients get necessary treatment at their facilities. — Bernama

Make that 13: Geelong grind Lions into ground to keep home streak alive
By Peter Ryan
Geelong have extended their winning streak against Brisbane at GMHBA Stadium to 13 with a tough win in a Friday night classic befitting two top four teams.
They did so despite losing vice captain Tom Stewart to gastro before the bounce and with Joel Selwood sitting in the stands resting after his record-breaking match a week earlier.
It was a match the Cats should have won easily in many ways as they dominated all statistical areas but inaccuracy kept the margin to just 10 points as a dogged Brisbane kept coming.
Tom Hawkins kicked five goals to prove the difference as the lead changed nine times in the first three quarters as the efficient Lions held on furiously hoping to pounce as Geelong kept the door open throughout.
During the third quarter Geelong tried to put their foot to the floor and accelerate away from the Lions but they could not pass Brisbane’s marking defenders with Marcus Adams’ and Harris Andrews intercept marking frustrating Geelong.
Such was their defensive dominance the Cats could not score for their next 14 inside 50s while the Lions managed to kick four goals from their six inside 50s in that quarter.
However at home with a loud crowd Geelong eventually edged themselves in front four minutes into the final quarter when Jeremy Cameron kicked his first goal and then held on with smart, tough, high-pressure football.
The Lions had been as efficient as an inner city barista finishing the match with 11.4 (70).
He doesn’t often get the kudos but the game was set up for Geelong to win by their coach Chris Scott who got his plans right with Mark O’Connor holding Lachie Neale. He had Rhys Stanley take centre square hit outs before Mark Blicavs tested Darcy Fort around the ground.
Key forward Cameron then played high alongside his mate Brad Close while Mitch Duncan folded back to move the ball from defence. Isaac Smith ran up and down the ground but his constant presence at the back of the stoppage worried the Lions.
The game was a fight with one punch met with another punch in the first half as each team went goal for goal in a switch away from the early season trend where goals had been coming in bursts. No team managed to kick back to back goals in that first half.
The Cats would have been ruing their missed chances as they squandered five set shots in the first half, their system creating better opportunities than the Lions could muster.
However the Cats haven’t finished top four so often without being unable to overcome difficulty and faced with a challenge and they made sure their territorial dominance eventually landed them the four points keeping them equal with Brisbane on three wins.
Sam De Koning was impressive in defence and Brad Close continued his good form. The Lions defenders kept them in it but their midfield were unable to create enough chances for them to break a drought that continues to define this era.
Geelong will be strengthened with Stewart back next week and look a genuine threat again while the Lions will take heart that their system is good. Lachie Neale was well held by O’Connor.
GEELONG 2.2 7.6 9.8 11.14 (80)
BRISBANE LIONS 2.2 6.3 10.3 11.4 (70)
Goals: Geelong: Hawkins 5, Cameron 2, Dahlhaus, Smith, Stengle, Bews, Narkle. Brisbane Lions: McStay 3, Daniher 3, Fullarton, Cameron, Rayner, Starcevich
Best: Geelong: Smith, Close, Hawkins, Guthrie, Parfitt, Tuohy. Brisbane Lions: Adams, Andrews, McStay, Neale, Daniher

"The book is a companion to truth seeker who wish to demolish architecture of caste lies that perpetuates inequities and discrimination in the society," said Raju, who is also the national coordinator for the SC, ST, OBC and Minorities Departments of the All India Congress Committee (AICC).
Featuring expert views by authors such as Sukhdeo Thorat and Badri Narayan to Bhanwar Meghwanshi and from youth thinkers and activists Jignesh Mevani and Suraj Yengde, the book claims to bring narratives of different colours -- not just stories of dismay but those of possibilities.
According to PRHI, it analyses the current Dalit status -- economically, socially, and politically -- the relevance of BR Ambedkar and the new path of empowerment to be forged.
"The essays offer deep insights into social, educational, economic, and cultural challenges and opportunities faced by the Dalits, the varied strategies of political parties for their mobilization, and the choices to be made by Dalits for realizing equality," it said in a statement.
The 'Rethinking India' series, published in collaboration with the Samruddha Bharat Foundation, aims to breathe new life and spirit into the cold and self- serving logic of political and administrative processes.
Its previous titles, including "Being Adivasi", "Vision for a Nation", "The Minority Conundrum", "Reviving Jobs", "We the People" and "The Shudras", have contributions from over 140 of India's foremost academics, activists and policy makers across party lines.

‘I went Mike Tyson on him’: Homeowner describes taking down suspected burglars
OAK PARK, Calif. (KABC) - A California man refused to become a victim after two people reportedly broke into his home last week.
Sal Mercado said he “went Mike Tyson” on the burglars and credited his strong left and right hook for diffusing the situation.
Mercado said he was startled when he returned home Thursday and found a car parked out front with a driver inside.
After he entered his home, he said he came face-to-face with a stranger.
Mercado said he struck one of the burglars who then ran to the waiting vehicle.
“He starts to go to the side of me, to get out of the house, and I went ‘bam’ with a right cross. And he went down on the grass in the front yard. Picked himself up and ran to the car,” Mercado said.
However, it didn’t end there.
He saw a second man coming down the stairs and went into defense mode again, striking the mam, and causing him to stumble and fall on the grass outside.
“The thought was, ‘I got this guy, I want to catch him. I want to make sure he gets prosecuted. I want to make sure to hold him down until the cops get here,’” Mercado said.
Mercado said he feels lucky his family was not home when the bandits broke in.
One man is facing felony charges of first-degree residential burglary and conspiracy while the two other suspects are still at large.

OVER a dozen people, including nine children, have been hospitalized as residents were seen jumping from windows after a fire ripped through an apartment complex.
Fire officials rushed to an overnight fire at the Stonegate Meadows Apartments in Kansas City, Missouri, on Friday.
The calls came in shortly after 12am on Friday, as the fire was visible from the first and second floors of the three-story building.
According to the Kansas City Fire Department, nine children and six adults were hospitalized for smoke inhalation, burns, or both.
Officials said two children are in critical condition.
Meanwhile, five adults are in serious condition.
Residents were reportedly seen jumping from the second floor to try and escape the blaze.
Fire officials described the blaze as a chaotic scene because they tried to put out the fire and rescue people at once.
Officials have launched an investigation to determine what caused the fire.

Ian Bryce Davis, 37, has had a troubling decade: four charges of domestic battery and obstructing a cop in 2014, a battery charge in 2017, a conviction for disorderly drunkenness the same year, then a felony charge of aggravated assault the next, to which he pleaded, only to get in trouble again for violating probation and incurring new charges each of the last three years. Not least among them: two second-degree felony counts of molesting his 14-year-old niece the night after she’d been to the homecoming dance. He is scheduled for trial on those charges next month.
Assistant State Attorney Melissa Clark, who is prosecuting the case, argued in court today that hearsay statements by the girl to her grandmother, to her guardian and to a Child Protection Team investigator should be admitted at trial. The statements illustrated the girl’s state of mind immediately after the alleged incident and a few weeks later. There are no witnesses to the allegation nor any physical evidence like DNA or an admission by the defendant. There is only the girl’s accusation.
Normally rules of evidence would exclude the statements. But in a sharp if unsurprising setback for the defense–Davis is represented by Assistant Public Defender Bill Bookhammer–Circuit Judge Terence Perkins this afternoon ruled that they would be admissible, after hearing testimony from the girl’s adopted grandmother, the girl’s guardian and biological aunt, and the Child Protection Team investigator. (The child’s guardian is married to the grandmother’s other son.) The ruling follows precedent.
The incident took place in late October 2019. The girl had gone to her grandmother’s house–not where she normally lives–after homecoming. Davis had just gotten out of drug rehab, where he’d been or six months. According to the girl’s statements to the Child Protection Team, she had marijuana with Davis (which would have been a violation of his probation), lying on the couch with him and watching television. They were a few feet apart on a long couch.
At 5 in the morning she ran into her grandmother’s room. The girl was distressed, in tears, and told her grandmother that Davis had fondled her breasts and sucked on her nipple when he thought she was asleep, and lowered her leggings and fondled her genitals over her clothes. Her grandmother told her she may have been having a bad dream, and said as much in court today.
“I said are you sure you didn’t have a nightmare?” she said she told the girl. “You had a traumatic night, you went to your first dance, you’re in a new school. You were watching garbage on television.” By “garbage” she specified that Davis and the girl were allegedly watching something “rated X” on television, an “adult cartoon.” So she kept asking the girl: “Are you sure it wasn’t a nightmare? I kept stressing that when she said, no, it wasn’t, he tried to touch my boobs.”
The entire case will hinge on those moments: the alleged incident on the couch and what the girl told her grandmother, then her guardian, then the Child Protection Team investigator. Without those statements, of course, there is hardly a case the state can prosecute. The girl initially did not want the matter reported and the family sat on it, not disclosing it to police. But the girl had a panic attack at school, spoke of the incident to a counselor, and the counselor by law was required to report it, triggering the investigation.
The prosecutor is seeking to have the video of the CPT interview played to the jury, with some redactions. The defense was concerned about the CPT interview’s leading questions or perhaps the coaching of the alleged victim. The judge didn’t see it that way. “She didn’t seem coached in any way,” the judge said. “She was very specific in her description of events, including context in which the events arose, right down to smoking marijuana, the smell of alcohol[Davis had apparently been drinking, too], the details of what actually happened, what didn’t happen, again, without any apparent exaggeration in her descriptions. I just thought in that respect it was credible. It was relevant. It was trustworthy, reliable testimony. And so from that perspective, I think it would be admissible.”
Bookhammer had also argued that the evidence was “cumulative,” the legal term for piling on, which is not allowed by rules of evidence, because it could be prejudicial to the jury. But the judge said the law allows the testimony to be used “for corroboration alone.” He didn’t see how that would cross a line into piling on. Bookhammer had also raised the issue of “bad blood” between Davis and the girl’s guardian–that the bad blood could have been a motive to get Davis in trouble. That didn’t get far, either. In essence, all the evidence the prosecution was seeking to introduce will be admissible.
Curiously, Davis himself had raised an issue of bad blood to the judge three years ago–between him and his mother, the girl’s grandmother. He did so in a letter to the court. He was again in jail for a probation violation. He claimed that his mother had it in for him. He told the judge it was the second time he’d been jailed almost immediately after his mother would find out he had a lump sum of cash, including money he’d inherited from his father. He accused her of fabricating evidence against him to get him in jail and take the money.
“She plays the victim, makes things up as she goes, and blatantly lies to get her way in any respect,” he wrote. “My brother and his family have done the same and told me that I need to get away from her before she has me put in jail again or killed because of her illness, addiction and lies.” He claimed every time he planned to move out, she’d call the cops on a pretext to have him jailed and keep him from leaving, though he’d also kept violating his probation, including failure to take part in a drug court treatment program.
Davis’s prior arrest history and his correspondence to the judge isn’t expected to figure in the trial’s evidence. Davis served a few months in prison last year on other charges. Bond was set at $50,000 on the molestation charges. He was jailed again last November on a probation violation. He has remained at the jail since.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Ravi Sen, Texas A&M University
(THE CONVERSATION) When you use the internet, you leave behind a trail of data, a set of digital footprints. These include your social media activities, web browsing behavior, health information, travel patterns, location maps, information about your mobile device use, photos, audio and video. This data is collected, collated, stored and analyzed by various organizations, from the big social media companies to app makers to data brokers. As you might imagine, your digital footprints put your privacy at risk, but they also affect cybersecurity.
As a cybersecurity researcher, I track the threat posed by digital footprints on cybersecurity. Hackers are able to use personal information gathered online to suss out answers to security challenge questions like “in what city did you meet your spouse?” or to hone phishing attacks by posing as a colleague or work associate. When phishing attacks are successful, they give the attackers access to networks and systems the victims are authorized to use.
Following footprints to better bait
Phishing attacks have doubled from early 2020. The success of phishing attacks depends on how authentic the contents of messages appear to the recipient. All phishing attacks require certain information about the targeted people, and this information can be obtained from their digital footprints.
Hackers can use freely available open source intelligence gathering tools to discover the digital footprints of their targets. An attacker can mine a target’s digital footprints, which can include audio and video, to extract information such as contacts, relationships, profession, career, likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies, travel and frequented locations.
They can then use this information to craft phishing messages that appear more like legitimate messages coming from a trusted source. The attacker can deliver these personalized messages, spear phishing emails, to the victim or compose as the victim and target the victim’s colleagues, friends and family. Spear phishing attacks can fool even those who are trained to recognize phishing attacks.
One of the most successful forms of phishing attacks has been business email compromise attacks. In these attacks, the attackers pose as people with legitimate business relationships – colleagues, vendors and customers – to initiate fraudulent financial transactions.
A good example is the attack targeting the firm Ubiquity Networks Inc. in 2015. The attacker sent emails, which looked like they were coming from top executives to employees. The email requested the employees to make wire transfers, resulting in fraudulent transfers of $46.7 million.
Access to the computer of a victim of a phishing attack can give the attacker access to networks and systems of the victim’s employer and clients. For instance, one of the employees at retailer Target’s HVAC vendor fell victim to phishing attack. The attackers used his workstation to gain access to Target’s internal network, and then to their payment network. The attackers used the opportunity to infect point-of-sale systems used by Target and steal data on 70 million credit cards.
A big problem and what to do about it
Computer security company Trend Micro found that 91% of attacks in which the attackers gained undetected access to networks and used that access over time started with phishing messages. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report found that 25% of all data breach incidents involved phishing.
Given the significant role played by phishing in cyberattacks, I believe it’s important for organizations to educate their employees and members about managing their digital footprints. This training should cover how to find the extent of your digital footprints, how to browse securely and how to use social media responsibly.

The bill, AB 2932, is moving through the state legislature and would change the definition of a workweek from the 40 hours to 32 hours for companies with more than 500 employees. A full work day would remain at 8 hours.
RELATED: California representative pushing for 4-day workweek in new congressional bill
The bill would require overtime pay for employees work longer than four full days a week. According to Congressman Mark Takano (D-Riverside) this would amount to a 10% increase in pay for employees.
Some employers who have already tested out a four day workweek say it has led to an increase in productivity and profits. Other employers say it has led to more stressed out employees who feel like they are letting their teammates down by not supporting them more.
Iceland tested a 35-36 shorter work week and studies showed it was an "overwhelming success." Microsoft trialed a four-day workweek in Japan in 2019, and said productivity, measured by sales per employee, went up by almost 40% compared to the same period the previous year.
According to studies, the U.S. ranks among the top countries in hours worked per year. Americans also spend less time than people from other developed countries on personal care and leisure.

If you remember the election of 2020, I had done a post regarding former State Representative John Teupel, who was running for the State Senate at the time, noting that he was not someone I could support for the legislature. And a lot of that was geared towards the fact that in 2018, I considered it poor judgement to when he decided to raise hands against law enforcement:
Former State Representative John Teupel had previously served in the State House of Representatives from 2001-2004.. and had been a Majority Whip for the House from 2003-2004.
So, as took place in August 2018, how does a former State Legislator get arrested, charged with assault against a law enforcement officer, and it does not seem to make the news in any way, shape or form?
This took place in August of 2018 – Literally less than two months after Teupel was giving a nominating speech at the end of June in front of the Republican State Convention for Attorney General Candidate John Fitzgerald, this same person was arrested for assault against a law enforcement officer.
As you can see, the charge of assaulting a police officer (a felony) was disposed of and pled down with a guilty plea of resisting arrest, and in October of 2018, Teupel received 4 days in jail, being required to successfully complete anger management classes, a year of probation, etc.
Not exactly a resume builder that makes me want to get behind him for State Senate. If you find yourself fighting with law enforcement as a 56 year old man.. you might want to re-evaluate your decision making process. And the legislature is not the place you want to do that.
He went on to not win his Senate race against Tim Johns on a vote of 58/41.
But there was another interesting contest in 2020, where a number of people were competing within the confines of the Republican party to be delegates to the State Convention. I was running, and gained a slot (only to have COVID cut that short), and John had similarly, but unsuccessfully, offered himself up as a candidate.
Quite a while later, I was speaking with a former board member about the process, and was told how there was also some vetting from those with Trump campaign who wanted to avoid any preventable embarrassments and that might have contributed to Teupel not being selected as a delegate. Being ever inquisitive, and just kind of nosy, I asked “So, did that have anything to do with the assault charge?”
And they replied, “No, it was all about when he made a floor speech about bestiality.” You can imagine a record needle being drug across a record here. Wait, what?
So, I actually went and looked it up. And there was a long ago speech on the floor of the State House I think we had all forgotten about. But, in case you need a reminder..
In 2003, a measure was proposed to the South Dakota State Legislature, House Bill 1061, to provide for the crime of bestiality. Basically South Dakota has done away with it as a law at one time, but was finally getting back around to a bill to say it was ok to like your horse..but it needed to draw the line at the relationship being strictly platonic.
But there was surprisingly some opposition to it. And the most vocal was State Representative John Teupel.
Legislators didn’t like talking about the measure at all on the floor because of the topic dealing with some of the worst sexual deviants, but Representative Teupel got up and gave his speech. While he claimed he “wasn’t rising in opposition of the bill,” he did have a very detailed three point notation of his “concerns.” #1, “With a class 6 felony, they usually have an identified victim of the crime.” #2 “With the prosecution of a crime like this, there’s not really a plaintiff you can put on a witness stand.” And there was also concern #3..
Concern #3 was the concern that kids who were “sexually experimenting” would be caught in something like this as a young age, and be labeled permanently as a sex offender, when it might have “been a phase that they would have outgrown.”
Teupel went on declare that he’s not “opposed to the measure” but “has concerns about the legislation.” And despite his concerns, he actually was an opponent, and went on to be one of the votes against making bestiality a crime.
Obviously, with people still remembering it in 2020, it hasn’t been forgotten.
So, looking at my previous story, while I think the fighting with police constituency is pretty small in District 31, I tend to think the constituency against bestiality being a crime is probably even smaller.
And that’s why I’m still not going to support former State Representative John Teupel for State Senate in D31.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Cameron Smith’s signature mullet is flappable. Very flappable. His game? Not so much.
The 28-year-old Australian’s opening round at the Masters on Thursday started and ended with double bogeys. In between came eight birdies and ultimately a 4-under 68 that vaulted him to the upper reaches of the leaderboard, a surge fueled by the kind of creative and calmly fearless play that guided Smith to a steely one-shot victory at the Players Championship last month.
He’s well aware he could have gone even lower save for a pair of wayward approach shots at the first and the last. Yes, the mistakes will eat at him. Well, maybe. Minutes after calling his day “a little bit disappointing,” Smith insisted he’s already moved on.
“The less you guys bring it up, the less, the quicker I’ll forget about it,” he said with a laugh.
Smith’s game is an anachronism of sorts, one brought into stark contrast while playing alongside Bryson DeChambeau, who never met a driver he didn’t like to mash. That’s not Smith. He doesn’t hit it particularly far — he was 60th in driving distance in the 90-man field during the opening round — or particularly straight.
He doesn’t have to excel at either thanks to a world-class short game, the kind that lends itself to getting a green jacket draped over your shoulders on Sunday afternoon. The world’s sixth-ranked player didn’t panic after a tee shot into a bunker, a splash-out, a pitch that went long, a blah chip and two putts had him 2-over 20 minutes into his workday.
There was plenty of time to stew if Smith wanted. Paul Casey’s withdrawal due to back issues left Smith and DeChambeau a twosome stuck between a pair of threesomes, including one featuring Tiger Woods.
Yet during the long lags in play, Smith kept it loose, mostly chatting with caddie Sam Pinfold about the Brisbane Broncos, Smith’s hometown rugby team. Anything but the task ahead. Besides, he’s grown comfortable among the Georgia pines, never missing a cut in five starts and putting together a runner-up finish to Dustin Johnson in 2020.
“I love this place,” Smith said. “I think my short game has definitely got me out of a lot of bad spots around here, but at the end of the day I think you just need to give yourself opportunities. You need to hit your irons close, and you need to be really good with the putter.”
For twoish hours in the middle of his round, Smith did both while putting together eight birdies in a stretch of 12 holes.
A chip-in from off the green on the par-4 fifth provided a welcome jolt. His iron on the par-3 sixth landed a foot from the hole. A wedge to within five feet on the ninth helped him make the turn at 2-under. Birdies at 12, 14, 15 and 16 pushed him to 6-under and the lead before a tee shot that drifted right on the 18th blunted his momentum. A punch out, a wedge that came up short and three putts gave him a double bogey to bookend the one at the first.
He planned to work out any lingering angst by spending 30 minutes on a stationary bike back at the house he’s renting. Then maybe whip up a meal — he made some spaghetti Bolognese on Wednesday — and relax.
Sure, he could have posted a number for the rest of the field to catch. He didn’t quite get there, but he knows he’s in solid position heading into what could be a blustery weekend that will have the mullet his barber just cleaned up fluttering from underneath his hat in all its shabby-chic glory.
About the hair. It’s become part of his identity as much as his increasingly impressive performances, so much so that Hall of Famer Gary Player — who picked Smith to win his first major this weekend — wonders what might happen if Smith finds himself in Butler Cabin late Sunday evening.
“I’d love to see how he’s accepted with that long hair in the clubhouse,” Player said. “They might tell him to have a haircut.”
Or maybe not. The player that Player called “cocky” in the best way possible has no problem going against convention.
“He’s confident, which you’ve got to be, and he’s one hang of a putter,” Player said about an hour before Smith teed off. “It’s not going to surprise me, he’s not going to come in here and be overawed, as many players will be. He’ll be in there with a good chance to win.”
He’s on his way.

Warning to dog owners over deadly flesh-eating disease as more pets killed
Dog owners are being urged to be watchful of their pets after two more cases of Alabama Rot have been confirmed in the UK.
The deadly, flesh-eating virus has now killed five dogs in the UK since the start of his year, with the latest cases occurring in Briston and Kingston, Devon.
Alabama Rot was first found in the UK in 2012 and have mostly been reported by pet owners who walk their dogs in the countryside.
Most cases are reported during winter and spring when the weather is typically colder and wetter, and it is generally much rarer in the summer months.
The two new confirmed cases follow 28 throughout 2021 and 47 in 2020, taking the total number of confirmed cases in the UK to 284.
Experts at Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists in Winchester confirmed the latest two cases and the animal hospital has collating information on all confirmed cases and reports across the UK since 2012.
David Walker, American, RCVS and EBVS European specialist in small animal internal medicine, leads the team at Anderson Moores and is the UK’s foremost authority on the disease.
He said: "We’re very sad to confirm two further cases of CRGV. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in the time of year when cases are most commonly identified.
"It is understandably worrying for dog owners; however, I must stress this disease is still very rare.
"We’re advising dog owners across the country to remain calm but vigilant, and to seek advice from their local vets if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions."
What is Alabama Rot?
Alabama rot, otherwise known as Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy (CRGV), is a disease that affects dogs.
It damages the blood vessels in the skin and kidneys, which causes visible sores on the skin and can lead to severe organ dysfunction and kidney failure.
The disease has a 90% mortality rate but the cause of the disease is still unknown, and unfortunately signs are often detected too late.
What are the symptoms?
The first sign of the disease is often a sore on the skin which will usually appear below the knee or elbow, and occasionally on the face or at the bottom of the chest or abdomen. It can cause the skin to become red and the sore may look like an open ulcer.
The RSPCA recommends looking for the following symptoms:
- Skin sores, visible swelling, red patch or skin defects not caused by a known injury- Changes in appetite, including reduced appetite, drinking more, vomiting and lethargy
The majority of visible skin lesions will not be caused by Alabama rot disease, and most cases of kidney failure will be a result of another cause, but if you are concerned your dog is suffering, you should seek advice from your vet as early detection is key.
Should I be worried about my dog getting Alabama rot?
Cases of Alabama rot in the UK are extremely low, so dog owners should not be too worried about their pet falling ill.
The illness seems to affect dogs that have been walking in muddy, woodland areas, and it first appeared among Greyhounds in Alabama, USA in the 1980s.
Mr Walker said the best chance of recovery lies with early and intensive veterinary care which may be best provided at a specialist facility.
He explained: "We have been at the forefront of research into CRGV for almost a decade and have witnessed first-hand the often-devastating effects of the disease.
"Treatment largely revolves around intensive management of the sudden onset kidney failure and, sadly, with our current understanding of the disease, is only successful in around 10% of cases."
Mr Walker hopes that Anderson Moores’ new dedicated CRGV website will be a useful tool in raising awareness of the disease and providing information to dog owners.
He added: "In launching this new website, we aim to give pet owners as much information as possible about CRGV.
“We hope the confirmed case map will also prove useful. Although an environmental trigger has not been definitively proven, the seasonality of the disease makes it eminently possible and the map allows everyone to see the location of confirmed cases."

A star for the greatest collegiate program in history. A league MVP and a Finals MVP with a compelling story of overcoming a torn Achilles.
With all that to her credit, it’s no surprise to see Seattle forward Breanna Stewart in a commercial for Coca-Cola during March Madness.
While Stewart’s place in the WNBA is established and her college career at Connecticut is legendary, Stewart will make history again this summer when her signature shoe with Puma debuts. When Stewart signed her deal with Puma last year, it was the first time since the last woman, Candace Parker, had a deal for a signature basketball shoe. Signature sneakers have been rare in women’s basketball, and most of those shoes debuted prior to 2000.
With the women’s NCAA Tournament going on, the WNBA Draft taking place April 11, and the WNBA season starting May 6, now is a good time to debate who in the women’s game might be next in line for a signature sneaker. There are plenty to choose from, but here is a small sampling of who could end up in this exclusive shoe club and why.
NCAA
Aliyah Boston, South Carolina
She’s produced double-doubles with regularity (30 total and an SEC record 27-game double-double streak) and is one of the best defenders in the country. The 2022 national champion was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. The game is there, but so is the flash. Boston mixes it up with the color of her braids, making color combinations endless and that variety is a plus in today’s sneaker game.

Would you give up your freedom for love? For three zodiac signs in astrology, they would take their freedom over a relationship or commitment any time of the week, especially when the Moon sextiles Uranus on a day like April 9, 2022.
There are two kinds of people: the kind who desperately need another person in their life to make them feel whole, and the kind who desperately need freedom in order to feel authentically themselves.
The Moon sextile Uranus acts as an inspiring agent for those who really don't want to be involved in love affairs.
Some folks just know who they are, and they don't want to compromise this truth to fit in with what's expected of them.
It's a hard stance to take; not everyone understands the person who desires freedom more than love. It instantly brings out the pity in others; why, oh why would a person stay single and choose freedom over love? Is there something wrong with that person?
Are they just so afraid of being vulnerable that they've chosen to deny themselves the one thing that makes life worth living?
Nah, it's not that way at all. But you know how it is: when we don't understand something, we automatically condemn it, or make it inferior to our way of thinking.
Those zodiac signs who desire and need freedom more than a love affair know what they're doing, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with fear. In fact, fear is what drives many people into love affairs and relationships, simply because so many people are terrified of being alone.
The Moon sextile Uranus supports the independent freethinkers who wish to live life on their own terms. The term 'rebel without a cause' does not apply here: these rebels know exactly what they are doing and why.
Long live freedom for Gemini, Cancer, and Aquarius starting April 9, 2022, during the Moon sextile Uranus transit.
1. Gemini
(May 21 - June 20)
Gemini, you have always enjoyed your freedom, and even though you've blown through a few solid relationships, in the long run, you prefer the life of a free spirit. You've heard all the opinions and advice on how you should really be with someone, and it's starting to become dullsville to you.
Why can't people just mind their own business when it comes to what YOU want?
You'll be enjoying the quiet rebellion of Moon sextile Uranus during this time, as you feel at home in your thoughts on being and staying free. Do you like love? Sure you do.
Do you like romance and the warmth of being with another human being? Of course, you do, but if you had your choice, you'd keep your options open. There's always an escape hatch where you are concerned, and if it comes to the point where you need to flee, then that's exactly what you'll do — and you won't have to explain it to anyone.

2. Cancer
(June 21 - July 22)
What this transit brings to mind for you is something you've been considering for a while, but never had the nerve to stick with, and that is, you really want freedom. You've settled into a lifestyle that really doesn't suit you, and even though you were OK with it at the time, what it's brought you is a relationship that feels claustrophobic and cloying.
How did you let yourself go like this, Cancer? Perhaps you were just doing what you thought you were supposed to do, and then things just went too far.
Get your horoscope delivered to your inbox daily!
What you're left with now is the feeling of being trapped and it scares you.
The Moon sextile Uranus exacerbates that fear and makes you want to flee. Sure, it's nice to love someone but it's hella nice to be on your own; if only you could just be free...then you'd really be living the life you were meant to be living.

3. Aquarius
(January 20 - February 18)
The Moon sextile Uranus brings our your rebel side as if that's ever been hidden. You are eccentric, Aquarius. And, in order to maintain your high level of eccentricity, you need freedom. You need to live a life where nobody is criticizing your ways, nor are they standing in the way of your creative progress.
You are an artist, and your life is your creation. This requires independence, and while you've played at. being the loyal partner and devoted friend, you are best suited for the role of freethinking, wild spirit. The Moon sextile Uranus puts you right in touch with that and gives you the strength and conviction to continue to pursue this kind of lifestyle. You may need love to 'oil the machine' but it's freedom that really gets you going. Love causes you pain; freedom brings you release.

It’s easy to imagine the look of horror on the faces of Hollywood’s VFX artists when Chris Pine said recently that he felt the Star Trek movies are spending too much money trying to imitate Marvel. No more spectacular set-pieces in the depths of space or on opulent alien planets. No more giant special-effects budgets and lucrative months planning how to bring enormous Federation space stations and Klingon warbirds to the big screen in glorious ultra HD. Instead, Pine (who is back as Captain James T Kirk in a forthcoming fourth Star Trek film in the new rebooted timeline) seemed to be imagining a return to the low-budget vision of the future seen in the original series – or at least, one that doesn’t cost serious megabucks.
“I’ve always thought that Star Trek should operate in the zone that is smaller,” Pine told Deadline. “You know, it’s not a Marvel appeal. It’s like, let’s make the movie for the people that love this group of people, that love this story, that love Star Trek. Let’s make it for them and then, if people want to come to the party, great. But make it for a price and make it, so that if it makes a half-billion dollars, that’s really good.”
Pine added: “But we operate in a system now which I don’t know how much longer we have if you have to spend $500m on a film to reach … even you have to pay all sorts of people back. So to make a billion, it’s like you haven’t even … brought your net in. So I mean, if I had my business suit on, that’s what I would do, but I don’t know where that is. That’s all above my pay grade.”
It is certainly true that Star Trek did not get where it is today by spending vast budgets on elevated special effects. The original series that ran on TV between 1966 and 1969 was known for its cheap-as-chips vision of the 23rd century, so much so that the iPad-like hand-held devices used by the crew of the Starship Enterprise were reputedly based on a children’s toy called the Magic Slate, with a few lights added to make them look kosher.
Such cost-saving shortcuts would be difficult to pull off in modern Hollywood – cheap effects can give a movie a bad name before the opening credits have even rolled. But Pine is right to suggest that the key to success in 2022 is not necessarily just to do everything Marvel does. The Disney-owned superhero saga’s essential formula – huge, expensive fantasy spectacle and plenty of well-written jocularity – has often proved disastrous when other franchises have tried to borrow it.
The DC “extended universe” never quite recovered after parachuting The Avengers’ Joss Whedon in from its rival studio after Zack Snyder stepped back from 2017’s Justice League, while some Star Wars fans hated the same year’s The Last Jedi for apparently lampooning The Force, its more po-faced adherents, and the saga’s storied past. It’s hard to tell if Tom Cruise-led monster picture The Mummy, which came out around the same time, was going for Marve-style action comedy, because the entire movie is such a diabolical mess. But it wouldn’t be surprising to discover that somebody involved (probably Cruise, who reportedly had contractual control of everything) thought plumping for throwaway quips and a breezy, irreverent vibe was a great way to adapt a classic monster tale that’s as creepy and gothic as they come.
There have been great science-fiction movies made relatively recently that neither cost the planet Vulcan to make, nor tore such a hole in the thematic architecture for hardcore fans. Whedon’s own Serenity, perhaps the closest thing to Star Wars ever to reach the big screen before JJ Abrams’ Star Trek films, cost just $39m (albeit in 2005). Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 was budgeted at $30m four years later, while Gareth Edwards’ Monsters cost a miraculous $500,000 in 2010. These things can be done.
Moreover, Star Trek’s hardcore fans have been crying out for a more cerebral big-screen vision of the saga as a paean to Apollo-era optimism and moral rectitude. The crash, bang, wallop of the brazen, big-budget Abrams-produced movies has not always gone down so well.
There is a training exercise in the Star Trek mythos known as the Kobayashi Maru. It’s an unwinnable scenario, designed to test Starfleet recruits’ stamina and ability to maintain calm against impossible odds (naturally Pine’s cocky Kirk defeated it in his first big-screen outing by reprogramming the entire system without his superiors’ knowledge).
Looking at Star Trek’s box office travails over the past few years, despite generally strong reviews, you would think Paramount was facing its own insuperable challenge. The truth couldn’t be more different than a Romulan and a Tribble: this is a saga that, three episodes in, is far from doomed. But if Pine is right and a simple tweak to the next movie’s budget helps bring the series up to warp speed, the studio might want to at least consider continuing its mission to boldly go where no man has gone before … but on a lower budget.

Ralf Rangnick hails Erik ten Hag as a 'top, top manager' and says he knows the identities of the bosses Man United have interviewed... as the Ajax boss closes in on being appointed as their new head coach
- Erik ten Hag is closing in on the Manchester United manager role
- Sportsmail reported this week that formal talks were underway with Ajax
- Ten Hag has a year left on his contract and United will pay £1.6m compensation
- Interim boss Ralf Rangnick said 'top coaches' had been approached by United
Ralf Rangnick has described Erik ten Hag as a 'top manager' as the Dutchman closes in on the Manchester United job.
Talks are underway with Ten Hag's club Ajax to secure the terms for his release with United paying compensation of just over £1.6million to secure his services.
Interim manager Rangnick declined to address the reports that Ten Hag will be United's next manager but said the candidates spoken to are of a high calibre.
Erik ten Hag is closing in on the Manchester United manager's job with talks ongoing
United's interim boss Ralf Rangnick said 'top managers and top coaches' had been interviewed
Speaking ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Everton, Rangnick said: 'I think this press conference is for tomorrow's game. I don't tend to speak about any new possible manager.
'What I know about all the managers the club has spoken to so far are top managers, top coaches, and if this includes Erik ten Hag it is also true of him.
'That's all I can say about that at this stage. For me it's about preparing for tomorrow's game.'
United cannot afford to drop any points at Goodison Park as they chase fourth spot and qualification for next season's Champions League.
Manchester United dropped more points in their top four chase against Leicester City
United are seventh in the Premier League table but still within three points of fourth spot
They have three points to make up on fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and also find themselves trailing Arsenal and West Ham in the standings.
Rangnick will be boosted this weekend by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese star missed last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester through illness.
However, Luke Shaw is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks as he has an operation to remove metal bolts from his leg, while Edinson Cavani, Raphael Varane and Scott McTominay are still injured.
United will be boosted for their trip to Everton by Cristiano Ronaldo's return after illness
Rangnick is expected to move upstairs into a consultancy role at the end of the season but the German wasn't prepared to elaborate further on any details.
He said: 'As you know, we have agreed upon a contract as an advisor and we will speak about that in the next couple of weeks I'm pretty sure - at the latest, the end of the season. But again, my focus is on tomorrow.'

Authorities seize 10 pounds of meth in northeast South Dakota traffic stop
SISSETON, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Tens of thousands of dollars worth of methamphetamine are off the streets following a traffic stop on Interstate 29 in northeast South Dakota.
Authorities performed a “routine” traffic stop Tuesday morning, according to the Roberts County Sheriff’s Office. The deputy smelled marijuana, and proceeded to search the vehicle.
During the search, deputies found 10 pounds of methamphetamine worth approximately $80,000, along with a loaded firearm, nearly a pound of marijuana, and a large amount of cash.
Authorities did not give details on arrests stemming from the seizure.
Roberts County Sheriff Tyler Appel commended the deputy’s work, saying “a seizure of this size has implications far beyond our area.”

Former Whitewater chancellor quit over free speech survey
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s former interim chancellor says he resigned over the UW System’s decision to query students about free speech rights
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s former interim chancellor said he resigned over the UW System leader’s decision to query students about free speech rights.
Jim Henderson abruptly resigned Monday, offering little explanation beyond that he felt he could no longer help recruit the best person to fill the position permanently. He told the Wisconsin State Journal for a story published Wednesday that he was upset over Interim System President Michael Falbo's decision to send out the survey after initially deciding that institutions wouldn't do it.
Henderson said chancellors raised concerns about the survey. He said he was worried students were tired of questionnaires and a free speech survey wasn't crucial at UW-Whitewater because students are exposed to a variety of voices. Falbo changed his mind because he was afraid of political fallout from Republican legislators concerned that campus leaders are working to stamp out conservative viewpoints, Henderson added.
UW-Stout's Menard Center for Public Policy and Service is conducting the survey. The center began in 2017 with a donation from the conservative Charles Koch Foundation. It was renamed the Menard Center after the Menards family, which founded the Menards store chain, donated $2.26 million to the center in 2019. The family is a major Republican donor.
Falbo told the State Journal that his stance on the survey changed last week after the center's director, Tim Shiell, told him that chancellors' concerns were based on incomplete information. Shiell said that the university board overseeing human research had approved the survey and the workload for schools would be limited to sending out emails.
“I acknowledge that some chancellors were disappointed in that decision, and it regrettably led to a resignation,” Falbo said in a statement.
Free speech has become a contentious issue on college campuses. Republicans have been pushing schools to crack down on students who disrupt conservative speakers and presentations. The GOP has maintained that liberal professors are indoctrinating students or making them feel uncomfortable about expressing conservative views.
UW System officials plan to email the survey to undergraduates at all 13 public universities on Thursday. Students have until May 6 to complete it.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A study published out of Iceland that examined the benefits of a four-day workweek called it “an overwhelming success” and the news spread among international media and governments – as well as companies. An academic researcher specializing in business management based out of Tennessee shared some insight this week on the four-day workweek and how employee productivity can be approached.
Studies out of Japan and New Zealand also posted positive results for the four-day workweek. Business, management, and organizational experts at the University of Tennessee’s Haslam College of Business say that while the four-day workweek is a hot topic of late, the idea has been around for a while.
Academic and management research studies dating back to the 1970s or earlier discuss the idea of a four-day workweek and since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified various companies’ approaches to how they manage their employees.
“There is actually a fairly large amount – and growing – of current literature on the four-day workweek,” Timothy P. Munyon, associate professor of management at UT Haslam College of Business, said. “The general consensus is that it improves productivity, reduces burnout, and increases respite.”
Munyon specializes in management and is the Janet and Jeff Davis Faculty Research Fellow at Haslam College of Business. His current research interests include the causes and effects of social influence at work, human resource management practices, and entrepreneur and family firm behavior. Munyon’s research has been published in multiple journals covering management, psychology, organizational behavior, and human resource management.
“Evidence is fairly compelling for the viability of a ‘results-only work environment,'” Munyon said. “This concept isn’t new, but the idea is to give people tasks, resources, and autonomy to get the work done, and then hold them accountable for outputs, rather than processes.”
Munyon also said these structures can save lots of time, give employees flexibility that they desire or need, and also can change the organization’s orientation toward its people.
“Of course, this is primarily intended for knowledge work roles, but may be applicable to other forms of work too, including manufacturing,” he said.
Historically, the 40-hour, five-day workweek became part of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. Since then, the workforce has seen significant changes such as women entering the workforce in droves; the increased influence of international relations and employment; the onset of the internet and information age – and most recently, the coronavirus pandemic.
As far as hours spent during a workweek, workaholism is not as productive, experts say.
“Additional research suggests that there aren’t significant differences between the 55-hour and 70-hour work-week, suggesting that ‘classic workaholism’ doesn’t result in demonstrably improved productivity relative to a more balanced work-week.,” Munyon said.
A U.S. Congressman representing California last summer proposed legislation (US HB4728) for a 32-hour, four-day workweek and it gained momentum in Washington, D.C. In December, the Congressional Progressive Caucus endorsed the proposed bill. Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
“As a longtime member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, I am proud that the caucus voted to formally endorse my 32-Hour Workweek Act in support of transitioning toward a modern-day business model that prioritizes productivity, fair pay, and an improved quality of life for workers across the country,” Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) said in a December statement. “After a nearly two-year-long pandemic that forced millions of people to explore remote work options, it’s safe to say that we can’t – and shouldn’t – simply go back to normal, because normal wasn’t working. People were spending more time at work, less time with loved ones, their health and well-being was worsening, and all the while, their pay has remained stagnant. This is a serious problem. It’s time for progress and I am confident that with the CPC behind this bill, we can take meaningful steps forward and create positive, lasting change in people’s lives.”
At last check, the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act bill had been sent to the House Education and Labor Committee, where it is pending.

What happened
Shares of cryptocurrency banking outfit Silvergate Capital (NYSE: SI) were down 5.1% today as of 2:45 p.m. ET. It's been a bad day overall for stocks (the S&P 500 was down 1.4%, the Nasdaq Composite down 2.7%), but cryptos in particular were suffering big sell-offs as investors digested comments from the Federal Reserve.
So what
Specifically, minutes from the Federal Reserve's March 15-16 meeting were released today. Besides a plan to raise interest rates this year, the Fed is planning to gradually reduce the $9 trillion size of its balance sheet. That has markets spooked.
In other words, the Fed is ready to end the days of extreme "easy money" policy as it fights inflation. One Fed governor, Lael Brainard, also spoke today and indicated the pace of monetary policy tightening could be faster than many investors expect. As the economy continues to "normalize" from effects of the pandemic, the Fed has changed from accommodative measures to help make life easier for the economy to inflation-fighting mode.
Now what
What does all this rhetoric have to do with Silvergate and the broader cryptocurrency space? As has been the issue since late in 2021, higher interest rates (or the expectation of higher rates) reduces the present value of risk assets. Given that investors have few fundamental tools with which to value a crypto asset, they represent an especially high-risk class of investments that will continue to be very sensitive to rate changes.
That being said, Silvergate is a unique way to play the expansion of digital assets and cryptos in general. Its platform helps facilitate crypto-trading platforms, and it recently acquired assets from the Diem Association -- the stablecoin project that Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) (previously Facebook) was taking the lead on.
Silvergate Capital stock is currently down 37% from its all-time highs reached late in 2021. If you're long-term bullish on digital assets, this stock could be a top way to play the trend.

Mary Kenniston, was officially inducted into the WPBA Hall of Fame. — Mary recently posted the following message on FB to all her fans in the sport….
“I was both honored and proud to be inducted into the Women’s Professional Billiards Association Hall of Fame this past Saturday night. I’d like to thank the WPBA for my nomination and induction into our Hall of Fame.I’d like to thank my old friend & presenter, LoreeJon Ogonowski-Brown, for working so hard to make it a memorable evening for me. I’d also like to thank Kim Newsome for helping LJ iron out the many details. And again, I’d also like to thank all my Las Vegas friends who came to celebrate my special night with me. It meant so much to me that each and every one of you carved out time in your busy lives to come. I loved seeing all of you again!I started my pool journey over 45 years ago and was involved with the WPBA almost since its inception and until my retirement from the WPBA Tour in 1999. Having almost always been involved in the politics of our game, in 1992, I was once again back on the WPBA Board and involved in the creation of the WPBA Classic Tour which debuted in 1993. When we broke the news to the men’s association, we were derisively told, “You girls won’t draw flies.” Girls.The ‘90s were a heady time for us – we were constantly on ESPN. We became a force to be reckoned with in the billiard world.Little did I know that venturing into Guys & Dolls Billiards in Belleville, NJ that one evening in 1974 would change the course of my entire life and allow me to travel, meet so many people, make so many lifelong friends and ultimately be inducted into the WPBA Hall of Fame. I wouldn’t change a minute of it!I grew up in the ’60s when women were challenging the unfair limitations that had been imposed upon us and rode the rapidly changing landscape of the times. What started with only a few of us has grown over the years to tens of thousands of women not only here in the United States but all over the world. It gives me great pleasure to see young girls playing our beautiful game. I’ve always believed that there was no reason why women couldn’t play as well as the top male players. Unlike most other sports, physical strength is not a factor. I didn’t think I would see it in my lifetime but now I’m not so sure. The level of play can only continue to improve and I believe it will improve more rapidly than it did when I came up with so much information on the internet, instruction and coaching readily available.Therefore, it is no surprise to me and a testament to the longevity of the Women’s Professional Billiards Association that Predator has joined forces with the oldest billiards players organization in the world. Congratulations to my friend, Kelly Fisher, in becoming the first champion of the Predator Billiards Series – the $30,000 added Alfa Las Vegas Women’s Open!!!I remember when there was a time when women were not welcomed or even allowed to play in most pool rooms – unless accompanied by a date. Look at us now! Like the old Virginia Slims slogan, “We’ve come a long way, baby!” We made something new and worthwhile – something that gave women opportunities they never had before. I stand on the shoulders of the few women that came before me and walked arm-in-arm with those that made the journey with me and am honored to stand with those that came after me. I’m honored to stand among the greatest players of the women’s game. My fervent hope is that those who come after me will continue the traditions of those that came before them.”

Albert Park Supercars: Reynolds, Davison split poles
David Reynolds and Will Davison split the poles for the first two Supercars races at Albert Park.
The grids were set over a pair of quick fire sessions, the first scheduled for eight minutes and the second 12 minutes.
However the first session was over much faster than that thanks to the second big impact at Turn 5 for the day.
This time it was Jake Kostecki that was caught out by the fast right-hander, losing the rear of his Tickford Ford on entry before slamming into the barrier.
That led to the eight-minute session being red flagged and then called with three minutes left to run.
Reynolds timed his run to perfection, popping up on top spot right as the red flag came out.
That made him the sixth different pole position winner from six races so far this season.
"I was a little bit nervous after practice because I felt a bit lost, set-up wise and driving style," he said.
"We made some good changes just then, and I just did a 98 per cent lap, and it was good enough for pole. I'm really stoked with that."
Anton De Pasquale qualified second followed by Chaz Mostert, who had just gone off at Turn 1 starting his second lap when the session was stopped.
Will Davison was fourth followed by Lee Holdsworth, Nick Percat, Cam Waters, Macauley Jones, Thomas Randle and James Courtney.
Points leader Shane van Gisbergen, meanwhile, was badly caught out by the red flag. He had returned to pitlane after copping a kerb strike on his first lap, and didn't get out in time before the red flag.
That means he'll start tomorrow's opening race from the back of the grid.
In the second session it was Davison that got the job done, running down early pacesetter van Gisbergen with a 1m44.941s on his final run.
"It's high grip, so you've got to be committed, but with the nature of the corners if it gets a bit loose, it lets go," said Davison. "So you've got to be really accurate.
"I knew it was in the car, it was just knowing what I had to do to put it together. I'm really happy with that."
Reynolds proved his first session heroics were no fluke by also jumping van Gisbergen at the flag to slot into second.
That shuffled the Kiwi back to third, right ahead of Broc Feeney, who executed a neat comeback from his practice crash earlier today.
De Pasquale was fifth ahead of Brodie Kostecki, Courtney, Mostert, Percat and Todd Hazelwood.
The grids for the third and fourth races will be determined by two more qualifying sessions tomorrow morning.

BREITBART:
The share of Americans who say that the economy is on the wrong track rose in March to 73 percent, according to a survey conducted by housing finance giant Fannie Mae. That is the highest ever share in records that go back as far as 2010.
It’s remarkable how quickly the public’s perception of the economy has deteriorated. A year ago—one year into the pandemic and at the start of Biden’s term as president—the share of people saying the economy was on the wrong track was 51 percent. Thirty-seven percent said the economy was on the right track. Now the right-track share is down to 21 percent—a record low.
There was also a big jump in the share of respondents who said they expect their personal financial position to worsen over the next twelve months. A year ago, around 15 percent were expecting dark times ahead for their personal finances. In March, this moved all the way up to 25 percent, also a record high.
This level of bad feelings about the economy is all the more remarkable given the very low level of unemployment the country is … well, we were going to say enjoying, but that’s the point. We have low unemployment, but almost no one is actually enjoying it. Jobless claims for last week came in at the lowest level since 1968. If you adjusted the figures for the growth of the U.S. population and size of the workforce, last week would undoubtedly have been the lowest level of jobless claims since the invention of unemployment benefits.

Tax revenues soar 34 pc to record Rs 27.07 lakh cr in FY22; tax-GDP ratio highest in 2 decades
- Country:
- India
India's gross tax collections soared to a record high of Rs 27.07 lakh crore in the fiscal year ended March 31, led by impressive growth in corporate tax and customs, taking the tax-to-GDP ratio to an over two-decade high of 11.7 per cent, Revenue Secretary Tarun Bajaj said on Friday.
Reflecting buoyancy in economy and the impact of anti-tax evasion measures, direct tax collection rose by a record 49 per cent to Rs 14.10 lakh crore, while indirect taxes posted a growth of 20 per cent to Rs 12.90 lakh crore.
''A lot of technology is being used where GST figures are now being matched with income tax figures and compliances are being ensured. So all these has resulted in better compliance and better revenues both in direct and indirect taxes,'' Bajaj told reporters here.
The tax-to-GDP ratio in 2021-22 jumped to 11.7 per cent -- the highest since 1999. In 2020-21 fiscal, the ratio was 10.3 per cent.
''The direct taxes are more than indirect taxes (in 2021-22) and I hope this trend will continue in the coming years,'' Bajaj added.
Bajaj said the overall tax buoyancy showed a ''healthy, robust figure''. The tax buoyancy came in at about 2, which means the rate of growth in tax collection was around twice as fast as nominal GDP growth.
Gross tax collection of Rs 27.07 lakh crore during April 2021 to March 2022 has exceeded the budget estimate by Rs 5 lakh crore. The total mop up was 34 per cent more than the Rs 20.27 lakh crore collected in the 2020-21 fiscal.
Direct taxes, which comprise income tax paid by individuals and corporate tax, came in at Rs 14.10 lakh crore, a growth of 49 per cent over last fiscal, which Bajaj said was perhaps the highest growth rate in a ''long time''.
Corporate taxes grew 56.1 per cent to Rs 8.58 lakh crore, while personal income tax collection jumped 43 per cent to about Rs 7.49 lakh crore.
During the year, Rs 2.24 lakh crore worth income tax refunds were issued to 2.43 crore entities.
In indirect taxes, while customs collection zoomed 48 per cent to over Rs 1.99 lakh crore, CGST and cess mop-up soared 30 per cent at Rs 6.95 lakh crore. Excise collection, however, dipped 0.2 per cent to Rs 3.90 lakh crore during the 2021-22 fiscal.
Bajaj further said the anti-GST evasion measures have helped in checking the menace of fake invoices and businesses fraudulently claiming tax credit.
Asked about the prospects of tax collection in the ongoing fiscal, the secretary said the figures have been provided in the Budget and it may not be possible to repeat such high growth rate in the current financial year.
Bajaj further said it might be difficult to achieve the budgeted customs collection for the current fiscal as it may not be possible to fully restore the import duty on edible oils and pulses because of the rising prices.
The government had reduced the customs duty on edible oil and pulses last fiscal with a view to containing spiralling domestic prices.
Direct tax collection for the 2022-23 fiscal, which began on April 1, has been pegged at Rs 14.20 lakh crore. This includes Rs 7.20 lakh crore from corporate taxes and Rs 7 lakh crore from personal income tax.
Indirect tax collection has been projected at Rs 13.30 lakh crore. This includes Rs 2.13 lakh crore from customs, excise collection of Rs 3.35 lakh crore and CGST and cess of Rs 7.80 lakh crore.
To a question on the Russia-Ukraine war, Bajaj said ''the effect on economy is worrisome but would depend on a number of factors like commodity prices and its effect on supply chain''.
Commenting on the figures, ICRA Chief Economist Aditi Nayar said after removing the payment related to arrears for past years, aggregate tax devolution to states in FY2022 has overshot the Revised Estimates (RE) level by Rs 95,000 crore. ''We do not expect the FY2022 fiscal deficit to deviate meaningfully from the RE,'' Nayar added.

Zack Britton still expects to be back in the Yankees’ bullpen at some point late this season.
If he’s able to return, the Yankees will have the star-studded pen they envisioned when they exercised his $14 million option for 2022 following the 2020 season (thereby preventing Britton from becoming a free agent that offseason).
The move hasn’t paid off yet. Britton struggled last year following an offseason bout with COVID (5.89 ERA, 14 walks in 18.1 innings) before being sidelined due to elbow issues that eventually led to season-ending surgery.

An police van fatally struck a man in Brooklyn Thursday night, cops said.
The marked NYPD van was heading west on Eastern Parkway near Schenectady Avenue in Crown Heights just after 8 p.m. when it struck the 53-year-old man, who was standing on the center median, cops and police sources said.
The victim was apparently panhandling at the time and was believed to be homeless, WABC reported.
He was rushed to the Kings County Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The van was carrying two cops and four prisoners who were being transported, according to police sources.
None of the occupants were injured.
The victim was not immediately identified, pending family notification.

You don't have to be a crazy golf lover to love Golf Fang Sheffield - the city's newest 18+ attraction which is opening this weekend.
With its eclectic mix of graffiti and golf, the new venue, where you will also find street food, DJs and cocktails, stuns.
Entering the 38,000 sq foot site, my jaw dropped before I even made it to the food hall - the vibrant hub around which the 18 hole course is based.

I would be shocked if anyone could visit and leave without having been impressed by the venue, which has certainly gone all out to give players a good time.
But what really won me over was the crazy golf. While some attractions go all out on the spectacle and forget about the quality of the game itself, the team behind this course have paid attention to every detail.
You can expect a challenging but fun round of golf that hasn't been compromised by the craziness of the course - and it is seriously crazy.
As well as bringing Sheffield several of the wacky holes other Big Fang Collective venues are known for - like The Teddy Picker (played inside a larger than life arcade grabber machine) and Jeremy Kyle (played on a replica TV set), there's also plenty of holes designed specifically for the city.
Standouts include a room that has been transformed into Blockbuster store and one that looks like it has come straight out a film - Trainspotting to be exact - since you aim for a toilet.
And not every hole is squeaky clean; it is an adults-only venue, so you can expect some raunchier additions, including a sex shop.
All along the spectacular course, you will also find perfect selfie spots for the Instagram lovers among us.
I'm happy to admit, like most other players, I enjoyed stopping for a snap at the Tunnel of Love, which features a swan pedal boat, complete with moving pedals.
Thankfully, the Golf Fang team managed the bookings well to ensure there was never a large queue moving around the course - and I noticed several teams kindly snapping photos for the group behind them, who quickly paused to pose, before returning the favour and moving on.
And if you do take a pause, it is a perfect chance to enjoy the venue's cocktails, which you can order at several points around the course.
Having visited on launch night, I was kindly given complimentary drinks on this occasion, but I think the normal prices are fair. At £8.20, the cocktails are not a cheap option, but I'd say they were similarly priced to other local venues, as well as being a good size.
I recommend 'Nuthin but a G Ting', which is served with popping candy, or for non-cocktail lovers, the cider slushies.
There is also a range of non-alcoholic drinks on offer to wash down your food. Sadly, I can't comment on the street food, though. My friend and I opted for a later golf slot, so the kitchen was closed by the time we finished, but from what I saw when I arrived every plate was cleared.
Have you been to Golf Fang Sheffield? Let us know in the comments below
All in all, I have nothing but good things to say about my visit, and I can't wait to go back.
I've played on several crazy golf courses before, but this was by far the best, and it might just be my new favourite place in the whole of Sheffield. Golf Fang makes for a brilliant night out, and it is great to see another vibrant attraction open in the city.
Golf Fang Sheffield, found on 100-106 John Street, opens to the public April 9. Prices start from £12.50.
Tickets can be booked online here.

The festival of Navratri is all about fasting and feasting. During Navratri, devotees keep fasts to please and seek the blessings of Goddess Durga. But after fasting, one should choose their food wisely. Eating the wrong food after vrat can make you fall sick. Here is a list of food items to be strictly avoided after Navratri Vrat.
1. Avoid drinking tea or coffee: After fast, one should not drink tea or coffee immediately. Tea or coffee on an empty stomach may cause acidity and then pain as well. Instead, take fruit juice or smoothies because it cools down the stomach immediately.
2. Avoid oil and ghee: After fasting one should not eat foods with large proportions of oil or ghee in it. Such foods can immediately increase the cholesterol level in the body, which is dangerous for our health.
3. Avoid fried foods: Fried foods need to be avoided at all costs. These foods contain a lot of fat. They are prepared in a lot of oil at extremely high temperatures, which is not at all healthy to eat on an empty stomach. It may lead to stomach problems.
4. Avoid spicy food: Taking spicy food after vrat can trigger abdominal pain and can also trigger upper gastrointestinal symptoms.
5. Avoid Junk food: Eating junk food after fasting can cause bloating, nausea, and stomach pain.

With just days to go until the final season of Derry Girls airs on Channel 4, fans are a mix of excited anticipation and sadness as we bid farewell to Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson) and the gang.
But hearts may not be broken just yet, as creator Lisa McGee has spoken out about the possibility of a film featuring the Derry Girls gang in the future.
In an interview with Radio Times Magazine, Lisa has spoken about her "love letter to Derry" show, that has been an instant hit since its inception in 2018.

The writer spoke about a film on the Our Lady Immaculate students, and said: "Who knows!
"You never know what will happen in 10 years’ time, but as a writer, you just know when it’s complete. I’ll miss them, but I feel like I got to take those characters exactly where I wanted to take them."
Dylan Llewelyn, who plays English cousin James, has also shared that his final days on set were "quite shocking", as the cast tease an emotional ending to the programme.
Dylan said: "Yeah, I think it's very emotional to end. Like the wrap day was just - it's quite shocking, just processing, "Wow, this is it," and to say goodbye to, not only the cast, but the crew as well who we've worked with on season one and two. It's quite emotional."

Nicola Coughlan (Clare Devlin), who plays a more restrictive role in the final season due to her involvement in Bridgeton, has also noted her 'emotional rollercoaster' when filming the last season.
Nicola said: "'It was hard to get to this point because we were delayed so many times by Covid and so many other reasons. So getting to do it was a challenge.
"But I just hope that we've done the fans of the show proud because that's what we all want so much."
Derry Girls season 3 airs on Channel 4 at 9:15pm on Tuesday 12th April, and will be available on All 4.

SEVERAL Premier League sides are scouting Braga defender David Carmo.
But SunSport understands they face serious competition from Atletico Madrid – who are currently favourites to sign the talented 6ft5 22-year-old.
Carmo has been on the radar of a number of English clubs since progressing through the Braga academy and making his first-team debut for the Portuguese giants in January 2020.
Liverpool came close to signing him a year later in the winter window – offering a £3.5m loan deal that included a further £16m to get him permanently in the summer.
Braga president Antonio Salvador admitted Carmo had “a foot and a half in Liverpool” before the move fell through.
Soon after, Carmo broke his leg against Porto in a challenge with Luis Diaz – who ironically signed for the Reds for £60m in January – and has only just returned to action.
SunSport knows that numerous English scouts will be attending Braga’s Europa League quarter final against Rangers tonight.
Liverpool are unlikely to go back in for Carmo with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate building a strong relationship in central defence, but others are certainly very interested.
However, it can also be revealed that Atletico have sent scouts to almost every one of Carmo’s games since his recovery.
Boss Diego Simeone and sporting director Andre Berta are huge fans of the player.

Carmo currently has a £27m release clause and a contract that expires in 2025, but Braga are open to accepting an offer of around £20m to raise funds for next season.
He's made a total of nine appearances so far this term.

DeLorean Motor Co. Inc. said it plans to unveil its new electric DeLorean on Aug. 18 at the Awards Ramp at the Pebble Beach Concours d 'Elegance.
The company this week released a teaser image of the concept car, showing back taillight and left shoulder of the vehicle.
The prototype will be revealed three days before moving to the Concept Lawn on Aug. 21, the company said. The name of the new generation of the DeLorean will also be revealed in August.
While it will be a brand-new vehicle, the car will feature references to the classic DeLorean, such as gull-wing doors, DeLorean Motor CEO Joost de Vries told Automotive News.
The company aims to mass-produce the vehicle and is searching for a location in North America for its factory. Despite this, de Vries said the company hopes to deliver the first customer vehicles by the end of next year.
For more than three decades, DeLorean Motor Co. LLC has been run in Humble, Texas, by Stephen Wynne as a service and restoration shop for classic DeLoreans.
DeLorean Motor Co. Inc. is a new company with new management based in San Antonio that is focused on creating the new model.
The new company has been funded entirely through private equity, and de Vries would not reveal any specific investors. It will seek another round of financing sometime this year.
The company has a little over 100 employees and will look to hire more as production begins, with a target of at least 450.
"The public reaction has been spectacular," de Vries said. "We have an awesome brand; now we need to put out an awesome product."

The University of Alberta is the top institution in Canada for nursing and petroleum engineering, according to the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject. This year’s rankings also featured 15 subjects in the top 100 worldwide, highlighting a diversity of strengths for the U of A.
Nursing has continually climbed the QS rankings over the past few years, moving from 17th in the world in 2018 to 9th in 2022.
“Our faculty focuses on preparing nursing leaders, and this work has never been more necessary,” said Diane Kunyk, dean of the Faculty of Nursing. “A new doctoral program curriculum and recently redeveloped undergraduate, master’s and nurse practitioner programming are preparing nursing leaders to face challenges that are complex, global and critically important – and the pandemic has shown just how crucial this leadership is and will continue to be.”
The Faculty of Nursing has a history of excellence in areas including women and children’s health, health equity and healthy aging, alongside emerging strength in research on migration and mental health and new research opportunities in Indigenous health, Kunyk noted.
The upward trajectory of this subject is due to high rankings across QS’s criteria. Nursing earned the U of A’s highest scores in the citations per paper and employer reputation categories, suggesting researchers are publishing impactful work and training highly employable professionals.
“What truly sets us apart is that we are a research-intensive faculty with world-leading researchers of the highest calibre,” said Kunyk. “This work spans the full human experience, with cutting-edge research leadership in areas across the bookends of life.”
Petroleum engineering retained its top rank in Canada for the third straight year and was the highest-scoring U of A subject in the h-index category, which measures the impact and quality of published work.
“In the past few years, our faculty has faced unprecedented challenges. Despite these challenges, we have maintained our commitment to providing exceptional learning opportunities and continue to be a leader in innovative research,” said Simaan AbouRizk, interim dean in the Faculty of Engineering.
Several other subjects within the engineering and technology area also ranked highly on the global stage, including mineral and mining engineering (12th) and chemical engineering (moving up from 97th to 81st). Electrical engineering, civil and structural engineering, and mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing engineering all ranked within the top 10 nationally.
“These rankings are reflective of our combined efforts, perseverance and passion for our work. We are well positioned to continue to excel,” added AbouRizk.

“We are so proud of the performance of our nursing and petroleum engineering programs, with exceptional rankings of first in Canada and top 10 globally,” said U of A president Bill Flanagan.
The U of A’s strength in the national rankings is notable given that Canada is the 6th most represented country on the list.
While sports-related subjects remained strong with a position of 16th internationally, anatomy and physiology saw a significant boost in the rankings, going from 34th in 2021 to 21st in the world this year. Anatomy and physiology also featured the U of A’s best performance in the academic reputation category.
Several subjects with a consistently strong national ranking rose this year as well, including linguistics (6th), modern languages (fifth), history (fifth), law (eighth), business and management studies (sixth), statistics and operational research (seventh) and sociology (fifth). Psychology moved into the top 10 in Canada for the first time since 2018, ranking eighth.
“Of the 38 subject areas included in the rankings from the U of A, more than 60 per cent increased or maintained their standing,” said Flanagan.
“With several subject areas in the top 100 in the world, the U of A’s showing in this year’s QS subject rankings is a powerful demonstration of the breadth and depth of our research and teaching.”
In all, 15 subjects ranked within the top 100 worldwide, including agriculture and forestry (74th), education (87th), pharmacy and pharmacology (85th), accounting and finance (95th), medicine (90th) and chemistry (100th). Earth and marine sciences, geology and geophysics each ranked among the 51-to-100 group.
The annual QS World University Rankings by Subject are compiled by QS Quacquarelli Symonds, a global higher educational consultancy. This year, the QS team ranked 1,521 institutions across 51 subjects. Scores are determined by examining a variety of criteria, including academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per paper and h-index.

Late EastEnders legend June Brown immortalised with huge mural in Romford
A HUGE mural of EastEnders star June Brown stares down from a wall in a tribute to the recently departed actress.
It was created by spray-can artist Gnasher, in Romford, Essex.
Spray can artist Gnasher took just a few hours to finish the huge painting of June as Dot.
After an image appeared online, a fan wrote: “Lovely. Somewhere where people can come & reflect and place flowers in memoriam to her great life, she was a very powerful figure.”
And as her character Dot Cotton might remark: “Ooh, I say”.
The TV favourite, who appeared in 2,884 episodes of the soap as chain-smoking Dot Cotton, passed away peacefully on Sunday.
Dot left Walford in 2020 after Sonia Fowler stole her savings, explaining in a voicemail that she was going to see grandson Charlie in Ireland.
Off-screen, June hinted she turned down a new contract in disappointment at storylines.

THE HAGUE – An international organization formed to identify the dead and missing from the 1990s Balkan conflicts is preparing to send a team of forensics experts to Ukraine as the death toll mounts more than six weeks into the war caused by Russia's invasion.
Authorities in Kyiv have reached out to the International Commission on Missing Persons to help put names to bodies that might otherwise remain anonymous amid the fog of war.
A team made up of a forensic pathologist, forensic archeologist and an expert on collecting DNA samples from bodies and from families to cross-match, is expected to travel to Ukraine early next week, Director-General Kathryne Bomberger told The Associated Press on Friday.
They will help identify the dead, but also document how they died — information that can feed into war crimes investigations in the future. The organization's laboratory in an office block on a busy street in The Hague will build a central database cataloging evidence and the identities of the missing.
“Having this centralized capability is absolutely critical because you have to look at this as an investigation into a gigantic crime scene that is taking place across Ukraine," Bomberger said.
The team will have plenty of work to do when it deploys to Bucha, where images of bodies lying in the streets after Russian forces withdrew shocked the world.
Bucha Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk said Thursday on Ukrainian television that at least three sites of mass shootings of civilians during the Russian occupation have been found. Fedoruk said hundreds have been killed and investigators are finding bodies in yards, parks and city squares.
Vladyslav Atroshenko, the mayor of Chernihiv, said about 700 military personnel and civilians have been killed in the northern city during the war.
“Of those, 70 bodies are unidentified,” he said, according to Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform.
The commission, known by its acronym ICMP, already has a working relationship with the prosecution office of the International Criminal Court and other crime-fighting agencies like Interpol and Europol to share evidence. ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan already has opened an investigation in Ukraine.
“We want to make sure that we work together with the Ukrainian authorities to properly excavate these crime scene sites to identify the mortal remains so that evidence can be provided in the future for criminal trial purposes, not only potentially to the ICC, but also potentially within domestic courts in Ukraine," Bomberger said.
The organization is at the forefront of using new technology in their painstaking work to identify bodies from even the smallest samples.
“We have implemented a new extraction technique, which allows us to extract more DNA from smaller or more damaged fragments of bone sample,” said DNA Laboratory manager Kieren Hill. “This is quite a unique method in terms of its application into the missing person’s context.”
On Friday, lab staff in white clothes covered with blue plastic overalls, hair nets and gloves were meticulously working on other cases, grasping small shards of bone in pliers and grinding away their surfaces in search of DNA.
The ICMP has an online portal where people in Ukraine can anonymously report locations of bodies, and will help family members of the missing to provide DNA samples to help identify them.
The commission was established to trace the dead from the Balkan wars of the 1990s. Its sterile, high-tech laboratories are a world away from the muddy mass graves where the organization's experts first rose to prominence among the decomposing dead of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys.
They helped put names to bodies that in some cases were torn apart and spread across multiple mass graves as Bosnian Serb forces buried and then re-buried the dead in an effort to cover traces of their genocidal attempt to wipe out Srebrenica's Bosniaks.
The commission made sure they failed to cover their tracks. Bosnian Serb military chief Gen. Ratko Mladic and his political master, Radovan Karadzic, are now serving life sentences for crimes including genocide. Both men were convicted in part thanks to evidence gathered by the ICMP.
Funded by voluntary contributions from governments, the organization has since helped national governments put names to thousands more people whose anonymous remains were recovered from sites including over 3,000 mass and clandestine graves.
It has worked at crime scenes and disaster sites around the world, including Syria, Libya and Iraq. The organization also helped to identify victims swept away by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and extracted DNA from bone samples of 250 people killed when Hurricane Katrina slammed into Louisiana in 2005.
Ukraine could prove to be one of its biggest challenges yet, as the organization works together with Ukrainian authorities to investigate and build cases amid an ongoing war.
“So ensuring that this process moves in accordance with proper investigations, that these sites are properly documented, the proper chain of custody is obtained, will be a challenge," Bomberger said. "I think under the circumstances while there’s an active conflict.”

Shanghai — home to China’s leading financial center and some of its largest sea and airports –has been under lockdown for 12 days, and there’s no sign of it ending.
Small businesses have been hit hard, with shops and restaurants being forced to shut down. Tesla, as well as many Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers, are unclear about when they can restart their factories.Meanwhile,
port delays are getting worse, and air freight rates are soaring, putting even more pressure on global trade.
The stringent restrictions have dispelled any expectations that the country may relax its zero-tolerance approach towards Covid-19.
“The surging cases in Shanghai convinced top leaders that there is no middle ground between zero-Covid and living with Covid. From now on, snap lockdown could be the prevailing strategy,” said Larry Hu, chief economist for Greater China at Macquarie, in a research report this week.
President Xi Jinping has
pledged to “minimize” the economic impact of his Covid policy, but the deteriorating situation in Shanghai — and the extended lockdown — raise tough questions about Beijing’s approach to outbreaks of Omicron, a much more infectious variant of the original virus.
“The Omicron variant is highly infectious, and it has become increasingly challenging for China to reach its ‘zero-Covid’ objectives while most other countries opt for a ‘living with Covid’ approach,” Ting Lu, managing director and chief China economist for Nomura, wrote in a note earlier this week.
He believes that China’s rising cases and escalating lockdowns in Shanghai and several other cities will suppress activity across a wide range of sectors, including in-person services, travel, logistics, construction and some manufacturing.
“The economic costs could be staggering,” Lu said,adding that global investors may be “underestimating” the impact of China’s zero-Covid policy on its economy and the markets.
Businesses hurting
Since last month, full or partial lockdowns have been implemented in about 23 cities, according to latest estimates by Nomura. Those cities have around 193 million residents combined — 13.6% of China’s population — and contribute 23 trillion yuan ($3.6 trillion) worth of GDP — 22% of the country’s economy.
“These figures could significantly underestimate the full impact, as many other cities have been mass testing district by district, and mobility has been significantly restricted in most parts of China,” Lu said.
By Thursday, at least 40 Chinese companies had been forced to suspend operations in Shanghai and other regions, according to
stock exchange filings in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing.
Meanwhile, more than 90 Taiwanese companies have reported that their operations in Shanghai and the neighboring city of Kunshan were affected by the lockdowns, including printed circuit board manufacturer Unimicron Technology and top bike maker Giant Manufacturing, according to
filings to the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
Growing wounds
The World Bank and some investment banks have recently warned that the damage caused by China’s zero-Covid policy to the economy is growing.
The World Bank on Tuesday slashed
China’s 2022 growth forecast, estimating that the world’s second largest economy will now grow at 5% this year, sharply down from
last year’s 8.1%. That’s also lower than China’s
official target of about 5.5%.
“The continuation of China’s zero-Covid policies in the face of the Omicron variant will hurt economic activity in China and have negative spillovers onto the rest of the region,” the World Bank said in its latest economic update for the East Asia and Pacific region.
Goldman Sachs on Monday maintained its 2022 growth forecast for China at 4.5%, a full point below the official growth target. But the bank pointed out that the latest outbreak and the lockdown in Shanghai are starting to “weigh more heavily” on economic activity in China.
Citi, meanwhile, has said that the Omicron wave could drag down China’s GDP growth by 1 percentage point in the first quarter. A prolonged Omicron wave could deduct between 0.6 and 0.9 percentage point from GDP growth in the second quarter, it estimated in a report this week.
It could get worse
The Shanghai lockdown comes at a time when the country’s economy is already struggling.
Services and manufacturing were both hit hard last month. The Caixin Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for services recorded its sharpest decline since the initial Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan in February 2020.
The Caixin manufacturing PMI also contracted at the quickest pace in two years. The deterioration in economic conditions was also reflected in
official PMI data.
April’s data could be even worse, economists warned, as lockdowns continueto hurt domestic demand.
“Following several rounds of lockdowns, many individuals are worn out, unemployed or underemployed, and have drained their savings to a level at which they now have to reduce spending,” said Lu from Nomura.
Spillover effects
The crisis in China is also a problem for the world.
The World Bank labeled China’s slowdown as one of the major shocks facing Asian economies this year, along with the war in Ukraine and rate hikes by the Fed.
The situation in Shanghai, which has the world’s largest container port, has caused shipping delays to worsen, putting more pressure on global supply chains. Although Chinese authorities said the Shanghai port remains operational,
industry data showed last week that the number of vessels waiting to load or discharge had skyrocketed to an all-time high.
“Shutdowns affect supply chains from many angles including factory shutdowns, port slowdowns and shortages of truck drivers,” said Zvi Schreiber, CEO of Hong Kong-based freight booking platform Freightos.
It could cause “extra inflationary pressures” on goods imported from China.
Air freight rates are rising too. All passenger flights to Shanghai, one of the world’s busiest airports, have been canceled. Schreiber said air cargo rates between Shanghai and northern Europe shot up 43% last week from the level before the outbreak.
Factory closures in Shanghai and neighboring cities could add to the disruptions to key supply chains for electronics and automotives.
For example, Kunshan-based Unimicron Technology supplies printed circuit boards to customers such as Apple, while Eson Precision is an affiliate of Foxconn, which makes iPhones. Eson Precision also supplies components to Tesla.
“It is very likely that given the severity of the current outbreak in China, electronics and automotive supply chains will experience significant disruption due to supplier outages in the coming 7-10 days,” said Julie Gerdeman, CEO of supply chain analytics firm Everstream.

There are three major central bank meetings next week: the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) and Bank of Canada on Wednesday and the European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday.
The ECB is likely to be on hold as usual at this meeting, so let’s go straight to the other two. The market is expecting 50 bps hikes from both, the first time in this hiking cycle that we’ve seen such aggressive moves from the central banks that we cover (other central banks have been even more aggressive; the Central Bank of Poland hiked by 100 bps this week!).
We shouldn’t be surprised at a 50 bps hike. The minutes of the March meeting of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) showed that “many participants” would have preferred a 50 bps hike but thought 25 bps was more appropriate due to the uncertainty caused by the fighting in Ukraine. “Many participants” also thought that “one or more 50 basis point increases…could be appropriate at future meetings, particularly if inflation pressures remained elevated or intensified.”
Bank of Canada: +50
The Bank of Canada is widely expected to hike 50 bps.
Deputy Gov. Sharon Kozicki said in a recent speech (March 25th) that “the pace and magnitude of interest rate increases and the start of QT” (quantitative tightening) are likely to be “active parts of our deliberations at our next decision in April.” Mentioning the “magnitude” was a sign that a 50 bps hike is on the table. “We are prepared to act forcefully,” she added for those who hadn’t gotten the hint.
She continued, “The reasons are straightforward: inflation in Canada is too high, labour markets are tight and there is considerable momentum in demand.”
Inflation definitely is too high. Not just the headline consumer price index, which at 5.7% is almost double the upper limit of their 1%-3% target range, but also two of their three core measures are above the target range (although the monetary policy target is defined in terms of the headline figure, not the core measures.
Labor markets are definitely tight, too. The unemployment rate at 5.3% is significantly below the level prevailing before the pandemic (5.6%-5.7%) while employment is higher (although not yet back to the pre-pandemic trend).
As for demand, retail sales are somewhat above their pre-pandemic trend, but it looks to me that demand was unusually sluggish in 2018/2019 and has since recovered to trend. Either way, it’s indisputable that there is “considerable momentum in demand.”
Accordingly, the market is expecting a very steep tightening cycle – the rapidest on record with the total tightening equal to the most on record (at least since they started using the overnight lending rate in December 1992).
The thing is, the US is also expected to tighten policy rapidly. As a result, the gap between Canadian and US rates at the end of this year is now expected to move about 5 bps in favor of the US, whereas at the start of the year it was expected to move 50 bps in Canada’s favor. Nonetheless that hasn’t particularly hurt CAD, probably because the price of Canada’s oil is up about 30% so far this year.
There’s also the question of what to do about the Bank of Canada’s bloated balance sheet. The Bank of Canada had far and away the most expansive quantitative easing (QE) policy of any of the major central banks – it blew up its balance sheet to almost 5x its pre-pandemic size! This compares with a 114% increase for the Fed and 88% increase for the ECB. Deputy Gov. Kozicki said they would be discussing the start of QT – we can hope to hear some specifics on this topic.
At this point, I think oil prices and the outlook for global growth are probably more important than interest rates in determining USD/CAD. Nonetheless if the market perceives the Bank of Canada as being more hawkish than expected – particularly if they hint at a more rapid reduction in their balance sheet than the Fed – this could help to bolster the currency.
RBNZ: Also a good chance at +50
Ditto for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). The RBNZ was expected to start hiking in August last year but held off because the country went into lockdown. It did become the first of the G10 central banks to hike rates (if I remember correctly) at the next meeting, in October, when it raised the Official Call Rate (OCR) by 25. It’s hiked by 25 bps at each of the subsequent two meetings since then and left no misunderstanding about its intentions when it titled the February announcement “More Tightening Needed.” “The Committee agreed that further removal of monetary policy stimulus is expected over time given the medium-term outlook for growth and employment, and the upside risks to inflation,” they said.
The question is not whether they’ll hike rates this time but rather whether they’ll hike by 25 bps or 50 bps. So far, the five economists polled by Bloomberg are unanimous in expecting 25 bps. The overnight index swap (OIS) market isn’t so sure however – that market is discounting a 47 bps hike, i.e. an 87% chance of a 50 bps hike (if I’m reading the table correctly).
Commenting on the economy at the last meeting, the Monetary Policy Committee said, “Economic capacity pressures have continued to tighten. Employment is now above its maximum sustainable level, with a broad range of economic indicators highlighting that the New Zealand economy continues to perform above its current potential. Headline CPI inflation is well above the Reserve Bank’s target range…”
What news have we had since the last RBNZ meeting on Feb. 23rd that might prod them into hiking by 50 bps? There hasn’t been a new print of the NZ inflation or employment data, which only come out quarterly. The former will be released on April 20th and the latter on May 3rd, meaning there will be new updates by the time of the May 25th RBNZ meeting. That meeting will also be accompanied by a new Monetary Policy Statement with an update on the RBNZ’s forecasts. It might make more sense for the RBNZ to hike by just 25 bps at this meeting and wait for more information at the May meeting before accelerating the pace of increases.
The main reason they would have for hiking 50 bps is their “least regrets framework.” Under this framework, they ask the question: if we make a policy mistake, which would we regret less: too loose or too tight? In the minutes to the February meeting, they said in this context that “the most significant risk to be avoided at present was longer-term inflation expectations rising above the target and becoming embedded in future price setting.” The 10-year breakeven inflation rate has indeed climbed to 3.0%, the top of the RBNZ’s 1%-3% target zone. They might want to hike at a faster pace in order to prevent inflation expectations from becoming unanchored.
I expect they will go through with it and hike by 50 bps. I think given the talk globally about 50 bps hikes and the risk of inflation becoming embedded vs the risks of crashing the economy that they will think the former is the greater risk and move by 50 bps. Such a move would no doubt surprise some market participants and therefore could prove positive for NZD.
ECB: Not so interesting
Usually I write a whole big piece about the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting. Not this time. They just updated their forecasts and won’t do it again until June (although some Governing Council members believe the forecasts were DOA because the war in Ukraine wasn’t fully factored in). The Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP) ended on schedule at the end of March and they already announced an accelerated tapering of the Asset Purchase Programme (APP). All I would expect at this meeting is a change in nuance and, in the face of surging inflation, perhaps some stronger forward guidance about how they “stand ready to adjust all of our instruments to ensure that inflation stabilises at our two per cent target over the medium term.”
Unlike the Bank of Canada and the RBNZ, the estimated path of ECB rates is relatively shallow. There is definitely room to accelerate tightening if the Governing Council decides to go along with the general global rates gestalt.
Their forward guidance as it stands now is “Any adjustments to the key ECB interest rates will take place sometime after the end of our net purchases under the APP and will be gradual.” How long is “some time”? How quickly is “gradual”? With German inflation expectations now above their 2% target all the way out to 25 years, they might want to clarify these points at this meeting and perhaps even adjust them. The minutes from the March ECB meeting showed that Governing Council members are increasingly concerned about the risks of inflation expectations becoming unanchored. “A large number of members held the view that the current high level of inflation and its persistence called for immediate further steps towards monetary policy normalisation.”
The excitement with the ECB will probably start in June, when the new forecasts may be the occasion for an accelerated end to the APP. That would pave the way for “lift-off,” the first hike in rates, as early as the September meeting. And at some point they’re likely to announce a new policy instrument that is not constrained with regards to which countries’ bonds it can purchase in order to maintain market and financial stability across countries and ensure that their monetary policy stance is transmitted smoothly across all member states.
But this time around ECB President Lagarde is likely to stick to emphasizing that policy decisions will be governed by the principles of optionality, gradualism, and flexibility, as they’ve said for several months now. Nonetheless, in the face of the highest EU inflation since 1981, Lagarde is likely to turn more hawkish in her emphasis and nuance. That could be positive for EUR in the short term.
Other indicators: US inflation data, lots of UK data, French elections
In addition to the central bank meetings there are some key economic indicators coming out next week.
In the US, we have the consumer price index (CPI) on Tuesday and producer price index (PPI) on Wednesday. We also get US retail sales on Thursday and industrial production and the Empire State manufacturing index on Friday.
Within this, the CPI will no doubt be the main focus of attention. As I mentioned above, the minutes of the FOMC meeting said that “Many participants noted that one or more 50 basis point increases in the target range could be appropriate at future meetings, particularly if inflation pressures remained elevated or intensified” (emphasis added). That means there’s going to be a lot of attention to see whether “inflation pressures remained elevated or intensified.”
The market’s forecasts is that they have. The headline CPI is forecast to climb further to an astonishing 8.4%.
Producer prices too are expected to rise further, at least at the headline level.
Figures like these are likely to solidify the market’s expectation of several 50 bps hikes in the US and therefore could be positive for the dollar.
Britain will release its “short-term indicator day” on Monday, with the monthly GDP, industrial & manufacturing production, and trade balance. Tuesday brings the employment data, while Wednesday sees the all-important CPI. This figure is expected to be bad – the market is looking for the headline inflation rate to rise to 6.7% from 6.2% yoy.
But even that’s likely to be just the calm before the storm in April, when the UK household energy price cap rose by 54%. (I have to admit I’m a little sketchy on what this cap is exactly – it’s far too complicated for mere mortals to understand. But the concept of “price cap” seems pretty straightforward and 54% is a big increase.)
With inflation so far above the Bank of England’s 1%-3% area of tolerance, there’s a chance that they too feel the need to hike 50 bps at an upcoming meeting instead of the 25 bps that’s priced in for each of the next several meetings. That could be positive for GBP.
Finally, on Sunday there’s the first round of the French presidential elections. This round will winnow down the field to two candidates, who will then have a run-off election on May 8th.
It’s likely to come down to a run-off between President Macron and Le Pen. President Macron is expected to win that race, but the odds have been narrowing in recent days. He’s now ahead by only 6 percentage points.
Mdme. Le Pen is not the firebrand that she (or her father) used to be, but she’s still out of the mainstream. Meanwhile President Macron is a known quantity who’s been doing well and established himself as a leader in Europe. Generally speaking, the market prefers the known quantity to the unknown. The larger President Macron’s lead, the better for the euro. On the other hand, if it looks like Le Pen has a good chance in May, EUR is likely to come under further selling pressure.

Following the recent arrest of Ezra Miller after an incident at a bar in Hawaii, fans on social media are lobbying to get the actor replaced in the forthcoming DC film "The Flash."
Miller, who prefers to be identified by the pronouns they/them, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and harassment last month in Hilo, Hawaii.
They are set to star in the film adaptation of the superhero tale, which is also a popular TV series. The movie is slated for a June 2023 release.
There's been chatter online that Grant Gustin, who stars in the television version of "The Flash," should take over the role from Miller.
"Probably a good time to mention this, Grant Gustin would've been a much better DCEU Flash," one person tweeted, referencing the DC Extended Universe franchise.
Gustin has portrayed Barry Allen / The Flash since the CW series premiered in 2014.
Miller also stars in the upcoming "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore."
CNN has reached out to reps for Miller and Gustin for comment.

Want to jumpstart a career in beer? Formal education might be just the ticket, whether you are looking to open your own brewery, or would like to get to know the ins and outs of working at one. Lucky for us here in Michigan, we have a few excellent programs available, where you can actually study the art and science of this lovely liquid, with a professional and decidedly academic approach.
"As the industry as a whole is maturing, the desire for education and the demand is there," said Allison Hoekstra, assistant professor in the brewing program at Grand Rapids Community College. "The days of being a homebrewer, where you could just walk in and get a job, those days are kind of over."
The program at GRCC was started in 2016 and puts a more formal, structured twist on beer education. Part of the Secchia Institute for Culinary Education, the courses, upon completion, award students certification in brewing, packaging, and service operations. The goal is to continue to develop the program so that someday it will offer an associate degree or another step along the path to a bachelor's degree.
Hoekstra explained that as they developed the program, they were "looking at the skills that industry members want in candidates for hiring in the brewhouse. They want knowledge of the brewhouse, cellaring and packaging, and brewhouse operations. It’s a very specified education that you need to get, or you need someone to personally mentor you, these are things that are not really self-taught. You can learn concepts, but programs like ours give you a hands-on experience that you won’t get anywhere else."
You’ll also graduate with your Serv-Safe Alcohol certification, and you’ll officially be a Certified Beer Server. According to Hoekstra, her students are also prepared to sit for the Certified Cicerone test, with just a little additional study and memorization. She explained that while there is no accrediting body for beer programs, these industry certifications are "our guiding resources" for the program at GRCC.
Molly Daniels completed the program and is now a brewer at Railtown Brewing in Dutton. She made the choice to attend GRCC after graduating from the University of Michigan with plans to go to law school.
"My personality just didn’t fit the heavy law I was pursuing," she said. "I enjoyed the school part of it, but didn’t think that career would make me happy in the long term."
After working as both a substitute teacher and out West teaching horseback riding, Daniels heard about the program through her dad, who was the vice president of Monroe Community College. After a visit and a tour, she knew she had to do it and said it sounded "awesome."
"My only interest before was that I just liked drinking beer," Daniels said. "It’s a very mechanical technical job. It’s everything I enjoy doing."
When Daniels started the program in 2016, she was one of only two women in her cohort. The program was originally designed for students to take all of their classes together with their cohort over the course of a year. Students would start and complete the program together. This didn’t prove practical for many students, who usually still have to hold down a job while attending school, so GRCC has since changed it, and you can now take classes a la carte according to your own timeline.
Daniels is now an adjunct instructor at GRCC in the brewing program, in addition to working at Railtown.
"I’m feeling very successful, and now I’m even teaching in the program," she said.
She currently teaches the beginning brewing class in the fall, and advanced brewing in the spring.
"I love education, and really value it," she continued. "It’s a really good spot here at GRCC. I’m incredibly busy, but it’s really rewarding."
If you decide to attend, you can expect to take classes on sensory analysis, taproom management, beer ingredients, and marketing. One thing that sets GRCC apart from other programs is their onsite brewery, Fountain Hill Brewery, where students not only get to have the hands-on experience of making the beer, but also are the ones serving it, learning on the job how to talk about and share their creations.
"We are working to give our students a full, well-rounded knowledge coming out," Daniels said. "With real industry experience in the classroom, the students get to see everything come full circle."
Hoekstra agreed.
"Working through the program, there are new opportunities for our students," she said. "Our interns, they have jobs before they even get to that part of the program. There is demand in the industry for them, there are opportunities for them. They are excited to be learning and have those hands-on opportunities."
Interested in learning more about studying beer in a formal setting? In addition to GRCC, Schoolcraft College in Livonia offers both a certification and an associate degree program in brewing and distillation technology. Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Western Michigan University have teamed up to offer two tracks of study, one in brewing and one in operations. You can earn a certificate or associate degree from KVCC, and then continue your studies at WMU for your bachelor’s degree, with a focus on sustainability.
Hoekstra also said the Michigan ReConnect program, which offers tuition assistance for people who are over 25 and have not gotten a college degree yet, is a great way to maybe make attending school more possible. Money can be used for both degrees and certifications. She’d love to see more students taking advantage of this program.
"I’ve seen it with our students, their cost has gone down quite a bit," she said. "But I feel like the brewing and culinary programs haven’t really taken advantage of this program."
Daniels's advice for someone thinking about going into brewing as a career?
"You should pursue your interests, but it’s really hard to know what you like to do until you actually do it," she said. "So, start homebrewing, to see if you enjoy the science and the math and the real physical labor of it," prior to attending school, she suggested.
"You have to earn your place, and work your way up like I did," Daniels continued. She started out as a keg washer at Railtown, then moved to cellar manager, before becoming a brewer. "You aren’t going to start out as a head brewer. You grow with the place, and everything you put into it you get out."
The key for both Daniels and Hoekstra is that they are both now in careers that they love.
"You have to make a living, but it’s not worth it to not love what you are doing every day," Daniels said."I’ve been so fortunate that I can make a living and love going to work every day."
"I love it," Hoekstra said. "It felt like a natural step in my career. I love watching students come in, try different styles of beer like a fruit lambic, and watch as their mind is blown. The internships offer an opportunity to be in a brewery getting real-life experience, and seeing how much in a year or a year and a half how far they can come in beginning a new career has been really rewarding."
