WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden vastly overpromised Thursday when he told Americans they can expect savings of $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy. It's possible they might save that much over a year, not per month.
Biden addressed the subject while announcing plans to order the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the strategic petroleum reserve for the next six months.
Biden is grappling with fallout from surging energy prices, including gasoline that has reached an average of $4.23 per gallon, after the United States banned imports of Russian oil and gas.
It’s unclear how much gasoline prices might dip from Biden’s new order, but the president did promise immediate savings from adopting renewable energy:
BIDEN: “If your home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average.”
THE FACTS: Not so. The average person in the U.S. spends far less than that every month on electricity.
The average electric bill for homeowners was $115 per month in 2019, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Between 2009 and 2019, the average monthly electric bill for a U.S. homeowner never surpassed $120.
In a statement released to support his order Thursday, the White House predicted his energy plan would save people “$500 a year from using clean electricity like solar and heat pumps to power their homes.”
Earlier this year Biden himself promised to save “families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.” But in an apparent fumble, he cast the savings this time as monthly.

Which telescope is best?
Staring up at the night sky, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with the sheer size of the galaxy. There are millions of things to look at, but you need the right equipment. If you’ve already started to peer at objects with binoculars, it might be time to upgrade to a telescope.
The right telescope for you largely depends on what you want to study, but the Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ is an excellent gadget to get you going. It’s easy to use and powerful enough to see every little detail.
What to know before you buy a telescope
Kinds of telescopes
When most people think of a telescope, they imagine a long tube with an eyeglass at one end. These typical models are called refractor telescopes and are only one type of many. The other popular choice is a reflector telescope, which gathers light through a mirror. There are also compound telescopes, which are wider than others. No matter the telescope type, you’re going to need a telescope bag to safely store and carry it.
The aperture determines what you can see
A telescope’s aperture is one of the most important components. Simply put, the aperture is how large the mirror is on the inside, which is directly related to how much light it can gather. The more light it gathers, the better the details and you can see fainter objects. The aperture is measured in millimeters, and you typically need larger mirrors depending on the surrounding light.
More darkness increases your enjoyment
The best conditions for using a telescope are in an area that has very little light pollution. For example, in a suburban neighborhood, you won’t see as many stars and galaxies as you would in an open field far away from the city. The size of the aperture can only help you up to a point, after which you might need to go somewhere else for viewing — or invest in a bigger aperture.
What to look for in a quality telescope
Lens and magnification accessories
Looking through a telescope lens is exciting, but you often want to see things in greater detail. Look for a telescope that has a variety of eyepieces and accessories. The most common eyepiece you’ll find is the Barlow lens for three-times magnification and the Infinity eyepiece. There are also eyepiece adapters that increase the magnification of the Barlow lens to 120x.
Automated Go-To feature
It’s always a good idea to study the night sky where you live. Make sure that you know which galaxies are where and you can identify the brightest stars. Luckily, you don’t have to pore over maps to see planets and formations; a good-quality telescope should have an automated Go-To feature. Through a handheld remote, you tell the telescope what you want to look at, and after a short calibration, it will automatically turn to align itself with the object.
Phone attachment and Bluetooth remote
It’s a great experience to look at distant planets or even our moon, but it’s more fun if you can take pictures of it, and a quality telescope may have a mobile phone attachment. It looks similar to a car holder, where the device is held in place over the eyepiece. By using the device’s default camera (and to reduce shaking), a Bluetooth remote will trigger the camera to snap a photo of the celestial body.
How much you can expect to spend on a telescope
The average price of a telescope can vary wildly depending on its capabilities and functions. An entry-level or kids’ telescope can retail for $40-$50, while an amateur telescope can retail for $100-$200. Much larger professional telescopes retail for $1,000-$2,000.
Telescope FAQ
Do you need to know where the stars are before using a telescope?
A. Not necessarily, but it will certainly be advantageous. If your telescope can track objects or automatically point toward them, the work is done for you, but if your telescope doesn’t have the function, it’s helpful to at least know where the brightest and most popular objects are.
Do telescopes require batteries to operate?
A. For the most part, they don’t. There are no electronic parts inside the telescope tube or eyepiece. If you’re looking at a model that has auto-tracking and a remote, you’ll need to insert rechargeable batteries into the controller.

Ancient Mexican city reveals social roots of democracy
One of Mexico’s greatest ancient cities dominated the southern highlands of Oaxaca for a thousand years despite limited resources and poor soil — in a rare glimpse at a long-lasting near-democracy whose sustainability practices trumped those of most cities today.
That city’s ability to thrive — for a staggering 1,300 years — was largely thanks to a cooperative, communal social structure that provided immigrants with economic opportunity and a good life, a new study in the Frontiers in Political Science journal has found.
“Why were people drawn like a magnet there, when they had to be living at close quarters to neighbors, on not-that-great farmland?” co-author Gary Feinman asked.
They came, he told The Hill, “for the things that encourage families and individuals to move today: security and economic opportunity. And part of that was a consequence of how it was organized politically and economically.”
If the study is correct, Monte Alban was an outlier among other ancient civilizations of Mexico.
The equitable conditions in Monte Alban would have bucked the trend of the rigid aristocracies that held sway in the Maya city-states to the east and the militaristic republic of the ancient Mexica — commonly known as Aztecs — to the north. They also strayed far from the strict social orders that largely held sway at the time in urban centers across Europe, Africa and Asia.
Since the 1980s, many possibilities have been offered and disproven: that powerful leaders coerced people to move there, or that it was located near good soils, as previous settlements in the Valley of Oaxaca had been.
But analysis by Linda Nicholas — Feinman’s wife and first author on the paper — found that Monte Alban had some of the least reliable rainfall, and therefore some of the riskiest agriculture, in the region.
Rather than good land, Nicholas and Feinman concluded that people had been drawn to Monte Alban by both its natural defenses — it was situated on a high hill dominating the valley — and, perhaps more importantly, by an egalitarian and communal social structure that afforded ordinary people a role in civic life that was rare in cities at the time.
Traces of this civic life persist beneath the city’s ruins, which differ dramatically from other urban sites. Monte Alban’s public buildings were large central plazas open to all, rather than palaces restricted to the elite. There are none of the carved depictions of rulers that Feinman described as “billboards for the regime,” such as those in the Olmec cities of the Gulf of Mexico, the Maya cities of the Yucatan, and the Mexica sites around Mexico City — not to mention the ruins of Greece and Rome.
The houses of common people also showed a need for “inter-household cooperation,” according to Feinman. Some such shared systems included retaining walls and drains that would have required communal maintenance, and “economic interdependence” between different families which specialized in different goods, he said.
“People not only lived very close together, but they also must have been highly cooperative from one domestic unit to another, because if part of the retaining wall collapsed or the drain got clogged, they’d have to work together to fix it,” Feinman said in a statement.
These collective factors helped ordinary residents of Monte Alban to achieve a noticeably higher standard of living than people in the villages that preceded it, Feinman said.
Before the settlement of Monte Alban, he said, regional elites lived in well-insulated, wind-proofed adobe and cooked on high-quality reduced-fire pottery; the poor cooked on porous “brownware” and lived in thatch huts.
But once Monte Alban was established, what had once been luxury became commonplace: everyone lived in adobe houses with stone floors and cooked on the same high-quality reduced fire pottery, Feinman said.
“All of these things point to both a governance structure that was not concentrated in one leader or family, and also a somewhat equitable economic profile,” Feinman said.
While that doesn’t precisely mean a democracy, it is also a far cry from a despotism, implying a “mutual relationship between people who have power and people that don’t,” Nicholas said in a statement.
In Nicholas’ view, Monte Alban represented a social contract. “The powerful may have coordinated defense, helped organize marketplace exchange, and conducted ritual activities that enhanced community solidarity.”
Most people, meanwhile, “produced food and other goods that sustained the settlement and, through taxes, supported governance. It was a collaborative process that relied on compliance,” as opposed to coercion, she said.
Feinman and Nicholas’ paper is the latest in a long series of articles examining the social and economic foundations of both democracy and autocracy — and of whether either is an innate part of how humans live in cities.
“The traditional view for 75 yeas has been on the side of the ancient world being autocratic, with only Greece and Rome as somewhat democratic societies, and that only in the last 200 years, in Euro-America, do we see more democratic organization,” Feinman said.
That view, he said, “cannot be sustained. Given more and more information that’s been collected — that generalization about the past being autocratic cannot be right.”
But neither, Feinman said, is it a slam dunk for the competing view — made famous in the 2021 bestseller The Dawn of Everything, by anthropologists David Graeber and David Wengrow — that the dawn of cities was an egalitarian utopia, tragically crushed by later oligarchs.
It’s a mistake, he said, to project a more equitable society onto the mute ruins of ancient cities — and to use that “to foresee a more equitable future. That’s hopeful but I’m not sure empirically how sustainable it is.”
But ancient cities and civilizations do help untangle which social and economic factors promote relative democracy — and which tend to promote despotism and autocracy, Feinman said.
And a critical factor on how equitable a society will be, he argued, is where government revenues come from.
“If it’s funded by an easily monopolizable set of resources — like oil in the modern world — then you’re going to get more autocratic forms of governance, which tend to care less about the wellbeing of the citizenry. Like Russia, or Saudi Arabia.”
The opposite is true for egalitarian societies, Feinman said.
Societies dependent on broad-based taxes on markets, agriculture or craft goods “tend to fund more equitable forms of governance,” according to Feinman.
And he attributed that foundation of democracy to the fact that fates of “the leaders — those people in government — are interdependent with people paying the taxes.”
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Conversion therapy is the use of methods, such as aversive stimulation or religious counselling, to change or suppress a person’s sexual orientation.
It is also used in an attempt to persuade trans people to alter their gender identity to correspond with the sex they had at birth.
The practice has been described by NHS England as “unethical and potentially harmful”, and condemned by mental wellbeing charity Mind as something which has “a terrible impact on a person’s mental health”.
– Will it be banned in the UK?
The Government pledged to end conversion therapy in 2018, under Theresa May.
But in March 2021, three advisers quit the Government’s LGBT advisory panel over worries it was acting too slowly on the ban.
One of the advisers, Jayne Ozanne, accused ministers of creating a “hostile environment” for LGBT people.
On Thursday evening, a leaked Downing Street briefing paper seen by ITV News showed that Mr Johnson had dropped plans for the ban.
But just hours later – following outrage from LGBT campaigners and health charities – Number 10 U-turned again, with a senior Government source quoted as saying the ban would feature in the next Queen’s Speech.
However, it was reported that the legislation would cover “only gay conversion therapy, not trans”.
– How many people in the UK have experienced conversion therapy?
The exact number is not known, but a National LGBT Survey done by the Government in 2017 suggested that 5% of LGBT people have been offered conversion, and 2% have undergone the therapy.
These figures were higher among trans people, with 8% saying they had been offered the therapy, and 4% reporting having undergone it.
– Where has conversion therapy been banned so far?
In 1999, Brazil became the first country to ban conversion therapy relating to sexual orientation, according to Stonewall.
Many countries have followed suit by imposing a full or partial ban since, including Samoa, Canada, Germany, Mexico and parts of Australia.
Dozens of US states have also banned the practice, with the exception of religious organisations.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A 21-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly beating and stabbing a homeless man, according to the Fort Collins Police Services.
Around 4 a.m. on March 6, security guards called 911 after finding a homeless man unconscious and covered in blood behind the loading docks at 1612 North College Avenue, according to the department.
Officers arrived on-scene and began performing lifesaving efforts until medical crews arrived, the department said. The victim was transported to an area hospital, where he continues to recover.
Through an investigation, detectives received a description of a man who had been arguing with the victim earlier that night. Investigators determined that person had visited nearby businesses before the altercation, according to the department.
In late March, police identified Andrew Fischer, 21, as a person of interest. He was interviewed on March 26 and subsequently arrested, the police department said.
Fischer was charged with first-degree attempted murder and booked into the Larimer County Jail on a $300,000 cash/surety bond.
“Our detectives went to great lengths to find out who was responsible for this inexcusable act of violence,” said Criminal Investigations Lt. Jeremy Yonce. “Every victim is a person whose life and dignity matter to us, and we work hard to help everyone we serve find justice.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Justin Butler at 970-221-6340.

From the Archives, 1942: From pots to planes
Aluminium pots and pans collected from hundreds of Australian properties, are being despatched to Sydney to be melted down in a particular therapy plant established by the Ministry of Munitions.
At an enormous open-air dump hundreds of outdated kettles, saucepans, frying-pans, car elements, and the parts of wrecked plane are ready to be sorted earlier than being thrown into the remelting furnace.
It would appear that many individuals are incapable of telling the distinction between aluminium and tin, as a result of sorters who examined the huge heap of scrap yesterday discarded a whole lot of jam tins, massive piles of tin foil and silver paper, a variety of lion saucepans, two pewter mugs, and a galvanised iron bathtub.
Scores of girls’s corsets had been given to the collectors below the mistaken impression that the chromium-plated buckles have been manufactured from aluminium.
There have been even a dozen ladies’s night sneakers donated to the fund as a result of they have been coated with aluminium paint.

However ample scrap is being acquired to provide hundreds of tons of pure aluminium a yr.

Aravive (ARAV) Reports Q4 Loss, Misses Revenue Estimates
Aravive (ARAV) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.62 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.64. This compares to loss of $0.25 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 3.12%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this biopharmaceutical company would post a loss of $0.42 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.53, delivering a surprise of -26.19%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Aravive
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Aravive shares have lost about 8.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -3.4%.
What's Next for Aravive?
While Aravive has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Aravive: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.54 on $1.05 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$2.17 on $2.76 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Biomedical and Genetics is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. (NRIX), is yet to report results for the quarter ended February 2022.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.89 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -41.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Nurix Therapeutics, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $8.77 million, up 75.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

Newsom proposes rebate for California to counter surging gas prices
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told Californians that he was working on a potential rebate to offset the escalating costs of gas as prices broke historic records across the country Tuesday.
“No one’s naive about the moment we’re living with high gas prices and the geopolitical uncertainty that’s fueling them,” Newsom said during his State of the State address. “I’ll be submitting a proposal to put money back in the pockets of Californians to address rising gas prices.”
California’s gas prices — among the highest in the country — topped $5.44 per gallon on Tuesday, soaring above the national average of $4.17, as President Biden announced energy sanctions on Russia in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine. The state’s prices were the highest ever recorded in the country’s history, according to the American Automobile Association.
Acknowledging that he and his colleagues had already proposed a pause to the state’s gas tax increase in January, Newsom said that “now it’s clear we have to go farther.”
Despite his commitment to offering some relief at the pump for Californians, the governor stressed that “one thing we cannot do is repeat the mistakes of the past by embracing polluters.” Such mistakes, he explained, would include drilling more oil, which he said would lead to “more extreme weather, more extreme drought and more wildfires.”
“In the past few years, we’ve seen whole communities nearly wiped off the map,” Newsom said. “We need to be fighting polluters — not bolstering them — and in the process of doing so freeing us once and for all from the grasp of petro-dictators.”
To reduce daily dependence on fossil fuels, California will need to accelerate clean technology development as well as maintain its dominance in electric vehicle sales and manufacturing, according to the governor.
One way to help bolster that effort would be by “tapping one of the world’s largest lithium reserves” in the state’s Imperial Valley — which would “secure a critical component of the supply chain for batteries,” Newsom said.
California State Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D) echoed the governor’s calls to continue tackling climate change in his comments that preceded Newsom’s address.
“The overwhelming challenge we face is climate change,” Rendon said. “We have to continue our work to stop that change. But we also have to accelerate our efforts to adapt to the changes that are already happening in our state. While we do that, we also need to develop ideas to reduce our state’s staggering inequities.”
In response following the State of the State address, the Republican National Committee (RNC) slammed Newsom’s speech as “the kind of tone-deaf pep talk we’ve come to expect.”
“Gaslighting Gavin is back at it again with promises he won’t keep and ideas that will never happen for Californians in need,” said RNC spokesperson Hallie Balch. “California is more dangerous, more expensive and more crisis riddled than ever before and Newsom and his Democrat colleagues have been steering the ship the whole time.”
Yet Newsom touted the “California way” as a key instrument in both fighting climate change and strengthening democracy as “authoritarian, illiberal impulses” continue to plague both the U.S. and countries around the world.
“California does democracy like nowhere else in the world,” Newsom said, noting that California’s approach to democracy means “rejecting all binaries.”
“We are plagued by the agents of a national anger machine fueling division, weaponizing grievance, powerful forces and loud voices stoking fear and seeking to divide us weaken in the institutions of our democracy,” he continued.
“This is a threat we must all face together and prove there’s a better way, a California way forward,” Newsom said.

Which letterman jacket is best?
Letterman jackets, also known as varsity jackets, are a great addition to any closet and fit a range of styles, from classic American to streetwear. They’re also great protection against the cold, and in some cases can be worn while skiing or during other intense outdoor winter activities.
If you’re in the market for a well-made letterman jacket that promises to keep you warm, stylish and comfortable, check out the Stewart & Strauss Original Varsity Letterman.
What to know before you buy a letterman jacket
Fit and cut
Although letterman jackets feature the same general design, there are numerous fits and cuts. If you want something with a modern streetwear look, consider something with a boxy, oversized fit. If you want it to accentuate the width of your shoulders, opt for a cinched waist and a wider shoulder measurement. Or if you’re chasing the traditional look, consider something from a classic brand such as Ralph Lauren.
Level of warmth
Before you purchase a new letterman jacket, consider how much warmth you want it to provide. Although it’s not traditional, you can find puffer letterman jackets with down insulation, such as the quilted bomber from Tommy Hilfiger. If you want something you can wear during the milder months of fall and spring, consider one made from cotton or lightweight wool.
What to look for in a quality letterman jacket
Materials
Regardless of what type of letterman jacket you choose, premium materials are a hallmark of high-quality ones. If you choose a traditional varsity jacket such as the Pro Standard, keep an eye out for genuine leather sleeves and natural wool blends. If you want a puffer, consider jackets with certified animal-cruelty-free down or recycled synthetic insulation.
Quality buttons
Because letterman jackets tend to have buttons instead of a zipper, the quality of the buttons is important. High-quality letterman jackets have strong buttons that securely snap into place with a distinctive sound. Keep your eye out for bonuses, such as interesting contrasting colors or luxurious polished chrome buttons.
How much you can expect to spend on a letterman jacket
As with most clothing, there is a wide range of prices when it comes to letterman jackets. Expect to spend $50-$100 for high-quality affordable jackets and anywhere between $150-$400 for luxury ones.
Letterman jacket FAQ
Should I hang or fold my letterman jacket?
A. We’re often told to avoid hanging wool or folding leather, the two main materials in most varsity jackets — but avoid folding them at all costs. Because the leather is supple and the wool is thick, folding will create creases difficult to remove. To avoid hanger bumps at the end of the shoulder, where the leather starts, get a wooden hanger with large, smooth curves that won’t press against the leather.
What’s the origin of the letterman jacket?
A. They were first worn by Harvard University baseball players in 1865 and were popular with the athletes who wore them throughout the first half of the 20th century. They became a fashion trend in the 1950s, worn by such stars as James Dean and Elvis Presley, and later by Michael Jackson. Japanese fashion designer Nigo recently made the look trendy again.
What’s the best letterman jacket to buy?

Biggest jump in domestic energy bills in living memory comes into effect
The biggest jump in domestic energy bills in living memory has come into effect as charities warn that 2.5 million more households are set to fall into “fuel stress” and supplier websites remained unresponsive to customers.
As a 54% increase to Ofgem’s price cap hit bills, the Resolution Foundation think tank said the number of English households in fuel stress – those spending at least 10% of their total budgets on energy bills – was set to double overnight from 2.5 to five million.
Resolution Foundation senior economist Jonathan Marshall said: “Today’s energy price cap rise will see the number of households experiencing fuel stress double to five million.
“Another increase in energy bills this autumn hastens the need for more immediate support, as well as a clear, long-term strategy for improving home insulation, ramping up renewable and nuclear electricity generation, and reforming energy markets so that families’ energy bills are less dependent on global gas prices.”
Citizens Advice said around five million people would be unable to pay their energy bills from April, even accounting for the support the Government has already announced.
It warned this number would almost triple to one in four people in the UK – more than 14 million – if the price cap rises again in October based on current predictions.
Concern about the pressures households are facing came as energy firms continued to struggle to allow customers to submit up-to-date meter readings to avoid paying the higher tariff on energy used before April 1.
Customers reported issues logging in to supplier websites including British Gas, EDF, E.On, SSE, So Energy and Octopus Energy from early on Thursday.
Energy UK, the trade body for the industry, urged people not to worry if they were unable to submit a meter reading ahead of Friday.
It said: “Most suppliers are offering alternative options such as submitting at a later date, and different methods to send meter readings such as text, social media and email.
“This demonstrates the scale of the problem and how worried people are about high prices, which is why we have been asking Government to intervene to provide further support to consumers.”
Citizens Advice chief executive Dame Clare Moriarty said: “The energy price cap rise will be potentially ruinous for millions of people across the country.
“The support announced so far from the Government simply isn’t enough for those who’ll be hit hardest. With the long-anticipated price rises now hitting, many more people will face the kind of heart-rending choices that our frontline advisers already see all too often.”
The energy price cap for those on default tariffs who pay by direct debit is rising by £693 from £1,277 to £1,971 from April 1.
Prepayment customers will see a bigger jump, with their price cap going up by £708, from £1,309 to £2,017.
The regulator was forced to hike the energy price cap to a record £1,971 for a typical household as gas prices soared to unprecedented highs.
Fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA) warned the cost of heating an average home has now doubled in 18 months, leaving 6.5 million households unable to live in a warm, safe home across the UK.
An Ofgem spokeswoman said: “We know this rise will be extremely worrying for many people.
“The energy market has faced a huge challenge due to the unprecedented increase in global gas prices, a once in a 30-year event, and Ofgem’s role as energy regulator is to ensure that, under the price cap, energy companies can only charge a fair price based on the true cost of supplying electricity and gas.
“Ofgem is working to stabilise the market and over the longer term to diversify our sources of energy, which will help protect customers from similar price shocks in the future.”
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has previously pledged to “take the sting out” of the price rises, promising all 28 million households in Britain would get a £200 upfront rebate on their energy bills from October.
The Government will provide the cash for this, but it wants the money back so will hike bills by £40 per year over the next five years from 2023 to recoup it.
Goldman Sachs has already warned that prices in the gas market are likely to remain at twice their usual levels until 2025.
Higher energy prices are not the only way households are set to feel the pinch, with tax rises and reductions in state pandemic support increasing costs for businesses and, ultimately, leading to higher prices for customers.
The cost of buying a pub meal, soft drink or hotel stay could become more expensive from this month as VAT levels across the hospitality sector lift back to 20%, while the National Insurance tax rise will come into force on April 6.
Fuel prices have also reached record highs in recent weeks amid a rise in oil prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Sunak cut fuel duty by 5p in his spring statement last week, but retailers have been accused of failing to fully pass on the saving.

Provident Financial PLC on Thursday reported a swing to pretax profit for 2021 on the back of a positive macroeconomic environment as the company rebuilds its business with the launch of its personal loans business and the closure of consumer credit division, but it was below market consensus.
The U.K. consumer-finance company posted a pretax profit of 4.1 million pounds ($5.4 million) compared with a loss of GBP113.5 million for the previous year, and a consensus of GBP22.0 million taken from Factset based on five analysts forecasts.
The London-listed company's revenue for 2021 declined to GBP534.6 million from GBP615.4 million in 2020 and below the consensus of GBP599.2 million, taken from Factset and based on six analysts forecasts.
Provident Financial ended the period with a fully loaded CET1 ratio--a measure of financial strength--of 29.1% compared with 34.2% in 2020.
The company expects 2022 impairment trends to benefit from release of provisions and to move toward higher quality customers and lower risk credit, resulting in lower coverage ratios, it said.
The board has resumed dividends payout and declared a dividend of 12 pence a share. It also anticipates moving toward a payout ratio of around 40% of adjusted earnings from 2022 onward.
Write to Michael Susin at michael.susin@wsj.com
Corrections & Amplifications
This was corrected at 12:39 p.m. ET because the original version misstated the dividend amount as 0.12 pence. The correct dividend amount is 12 pence.
Provident Financial declared a dividend of 12 pence a share. "Provident Financial Swung to 2021 Pretax Profit; Resumes Dividend Payout," at 0631 GMT, misstated the dividend amount.

DENVER — It’s hard to put a price on a lifetime of work.
“You really can’t because it means so much in memory and it means so much in just effort,” said Paul Noel Fiorino, founder of Ballet Arts Theater in Denver.
“Here’s grandpa’s cane from Peter and the Wolf which we hope to reconstruct this summer,” Fiorino said.
The prop closet and storage of the Ballet Arts Theater is a treasure trove, a time capsule of costumes, sets and memories.
“Here we have tons of video tape,” Fiorino said pointing out boxes of VHS tapes from past performances.
Fiorino says after hanging on for 30 years, it might be time to hang it up.
“We’ve had the ability to be here in the Golden Triangle, but now we have to move,” Fiorino said. “It’s terribly sad, but I’ve been fighting it all my life.”
The building the nonprofit says it has occupied since 1993 will soon be redeveloped, like so many other properties in Denver’s Golden Triangle neighborhood, which is zoned for new construction up to 20 stories.
“The Berger’s (the building owner's) have supported us over the years, but it’s just time for us to go now,” Fiorino said.
He’s now hoping someone from the community is interested in purchasing the theater company and moving it.
“I’m 67 and on the twilight of things,” Fiorino said. “But we also need folks to realize that we need a place to go. And we need – maybe a resurrection of some artist that wants their own company.”
If you’d like to help Ballet Arts Theater move, which it must do before next Monday, April 4, you can do so by reaching out to Contact7@thedenverchannel.com.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Scott L. Montgomery, University of Washington
(THE CONVERSATION) The Biden administration on March 31, 2022, said it plans to release an unprecedented 180 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to combat the recent spike in gas and diesel prices. About a million barrels of oil will be released every day for up to six months.
If all the oil is released, it would represent almost one-third of the current volume of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It follows a release of 30 million barrels in early March, a large withdrawal until the latest one.
But what is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, why was it created, and when has it been used? And does it still serve a purpose, given that the U.S. exports more oil and other petroleum products than it imports?
As an energy researcher, I believe considering the reserve’s history can help answer these questions.
Origins of the reserve
Congress created the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as part of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 in response to a global oil crisis.
Arab oil-exporting states led by Saudi Arabia had cut supply to the world market because of Western support for Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Oil prices quadrupled, resulting in major economic damage to the U.S. and other countries. This also shook the average American, who had grown used to cheap oil.
The oil crisis caused the U.S., Japan and 15 other advanced countries to form the International Energy Agency in 1974 to recommend policies that would forestall such events in the future. One of the agency’s key ideas was to create emergency petroleum reserves that could be drawn on in case of a severe supply disruption.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act originally stipulated the reserve should hold up to 1 billion barrels of crude and refined petroleum products. Though it has never reached that size, the U.S. reserve is the largest in the world, with a maximum volume of 714 million barrels. The cap was previously set at 727 million barrels.
As of March 25, 2022, the reserve contained about 568 million barrels.
Oil in the reserve is stored underground in a series of large underground salt domes in four locations along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana, and is linked to major supply pipelines in the region.
Salt domes, formed when a mass of salt is forced upward, are a good choice for storage since salt is impermeable and has low solubility in crude oil. Most of the storage sites were acquired by the federal government in 1977 and became fully operational in the 1980s.
History of drawdowns
In the 1975 act, Congress specified that the reserve was intended to prevent “severe supply interruptions” – that is, actual oil shortages.
Over time, as the oil market has changed, Congress expanded the list of reasons for which the Strategic Petroleum Reserve could be tapped, such as domestic supply interruptions due to extreme weather.
Prior to March 2022, about 280 million barrels of crude oil had been released since the reserve’s creation, including a 50 million release that began in November 2021.
There have only been three emergency releases in the reserve’s history. The first was in 1991 after Iraq invaded Kuwait the year before, which resulted in a sharp drop in oil supply to the world market. The U.S. released 34 million barrels.
The second release, of 30 million barrels, came in 2005 after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina knocked out Gulf of Mexico production, which then comprised about 25% of U.S. domestic supply.
The third was a coordinated release by the International Energy Agency in 2011 as a result of supply disruptions from several oil-producing countries, including Libya, then facing civil unrest during the Arab Spring. In all, the agency coordinated a release of 60 million barrels of crude, half of which came from the U.S.
In addition, there have been 11 planned sales of oil from the reserve, mainly to generate federal revenue. One of these – the 1996-1997 sale to reduce the federal budget deficit – seemed to serve political ends rather than supply-related ones.
A better way to avoid pain at the pump
President Joe Biden’s November decision to tap the reserve was also seen as political by Republicans because there was no emergency shortage of supply at that time.
Similarly, the latest historic release of 180 million barrels could also be seen as serving a political purpose – in an election year, no less. But I believe it also seems perfectly legitimate in terms of fulfilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve’s original purpose: reducing the negative impacts of a major oil price shock.
Though the U.S. is today a net petroleum exporter, it continues to import as much as 8.2 million barrels of crude oil every day.

But in my view, the best way to avoid the pain of oil price shocks is to lower oil demand by reducing global carbon emissions – rather than mainly relying on releases from the reserve.

click to enlarge St. Louis Metropolitan Police are considering new ways to police the city.
St. Louis police stop Black pedestrians more than two times as often as white pedestrians, and Black drivers are 1.8 times more likely to be stopped than white drivers.
As part of an ongoing effort to settle these disparities, the nonprofit the Center for Policing Equity ) presented recommendations for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to implement during a virtual town hall Monday night.
Discussion among panelists, including St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones, had one common thread — more law enforcement is not the answer for safety in St. Louis.
“St. Louis has more police per capita than any city our size,” Jones said during the town hall. “It’s not about having more police officers. It’s about deploying the resources that we currently have.”
One of CPE’s several recommendations included establishing alternative responses to low-risk calls, such as dispatching unarmed and trained community service officers to non-violent situations.
“Around 20 percent of the calls for service that this police department experiences could potentially be answered by folks who are not police officers, not people with badges and guns,” said Hans Menos, vice president of triage response for CPE.

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones speaks with panelists Jessica Meyers, Dan Isom and moderator Claudine McDonald during a virtual town hall on reimagining public safety in St. Louis.
The city of St. Louis partnered with CPE to “reimagine” public safety by identifying and eliminating racially disparate policing. The Connecticut-based nonprofit conducted analyses on use of force, pedestrian and vehicle stops, stop-data collection and crisis intervention.
CPE researchers released findings on policing in St. Louis in September after analyzing data from 2011 to 2019.
The report found racial disparities were most pronounced in affluent neighborhoods. Areas with high populations of Black residents experienced less responsive police service than the rest of the city, according to the study.
Black people were also 4.3 times more likely than whites to be subjected to force, however reported use-of-force incidents decreased by eighteen percent within the study period.
CPE recommended police end pretextual stops. These stops are typically initiated by minor traffic violations or civil infractions such as jaywalking but are then used to investigate more serious crimes.
Banning these stops and decreasing opportunities for police to unnecessarily interact with people would decrease force, according to Menos.
Black people comprise 47.5 percent of St. Louis’ population but made up 81.2 percent of all people who were subjected to force by police within the CPE’s report period. Whites make up 42.9 percent of the population but accounted for 17.8 percent of the instances of force, according to the report.
Dan Isom, director of public safety and former SLMPD chief of police, said it’s important to recognize that many problems in the community do not require a police response.
“We want our officers to focus on violent crimes, serious crimes,” Isom said. “We want to lean into providing sort of a social service network that really can uplift young people, that can uplift the community and families in a way where we use the least amount of force necessary to accomplish that.”
Isom continued, “And if we don’t need to use the criminal justice apparatus at all, then that’s the direction we should be heading in.”
St. Louis city government has already made headway on diverting some crises away from the overburdened and understaffed police department.
Last January, the city launched Cops and Clinicians to reduce the need for police and EMS to respond to 911 calls.The program deploys licensed clinical social workers with officers to provide mental health and social services to those in need.
The city’s 911 Diversion program directs 911 calls involving mental health concerns to specialists who can handle calls in ways emergency dispatchers cannot.
Jones praised a program utilized by Denver, Colorado. Instead of police officers, the city sends behavioral health clinicians to individuals in crises related to mental health, poverty or homeslessness. The program had a similar start to St. Louis’ Cops and Clinicians, according to Jones, but eventually transitioned to be entirely civilian run.
“I would love to eventually move to that,” Jones said. “They started the same way we did, so we are building that muscle over time, and hopefully, we will be able to move to a total civilian response.”

CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. — Looking out over the Chincoteague Bay with the marshland covering much of the area, you can imagine how difficult those waters would be to navigate in a moment of emergency response.
That was the case for many first responders when a Navy plane from Naval Station Norfolk crashed in the water off Chincoteague Island on Wednesday night.
A U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson said the crash happened around 7:30 p.m. near the Wildcat Marsh. Leaders with the Navy reported the aircraft is an E-2D Hawkeye based out of the Naval Station Norfolk in which crews were doing a routine flight operation.
Three sailors were on board. One died on the scene, while two others survived and were rescued by Maryland State Police who then transported them to receive medical attention on Wallops Island.
The rescue efforts didn't come short of any volunteers. Multiple volunteer fire and EMS companies joined the journey out onto the water to help the sailors.
"We knew that it was far enough off of the coast that we could not locate it without being on a boat," said Tim Jerscheid, Stockton Volunteer Fire Co. Assistant Chief.
Jerscheid said his team jumped into action when they got a call about a military plane in the water off Chincoteague Island and the volunteers sprung into action. He said it took volunteers and departments from several counties to help save the two sailors.
"The rescue swimmers got on the plane say the tail section had been broken apart and the main part of the plane was still intact," said Jerscheid. "One was flown by MSO Helicopter and one was driven to the hospital by Chincoteague, so absolutely, those guys' lives were saved by the citizens over there."
Denise Bowden with the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Co. said her team of volunteers also responded quickly Wednesday evening. She said she noticed some people who live on the island take their personal boats out on the water to try to help the rescue efforts.
"That north end of the island is pretty tricky to navigate. The locals know it very well. It's shallow water out there, so it's tough to navigate," said Bowden. "I can't say enough about our citizens that actually jumped in with private boats to help out with this effort. It was amazing to see everybody come together for their rescue efforts."
Jerscheid said crews found the person who didn't survive still strapped into the harness on the plane. None of the crew members have been identified at this time.
Leaders with volunteer fire departments on the Eastern Shore said the plane is still stuck in the water.
Officials with Virginia and the Navy now have to find a way to remove it.

The worldwide seafood industry is steeling itself for price hikes, supply disruptions and potential job losses as new rounds of economic sanctions on Russia make key species such as cod and crab harder to come by.
The latest round of U.S. attempts to punish Russia for the invasion of Ukraine includes bans on imports of seafood, alcohol and diamonds. The U.S. is also stripping “most favored nation status” from Russia. Nations around the world are taking similar steps.
Russia is one of the largest producers of seafood in the world, and was the fifth-largest producer of wild-caught fish, according to a 2020 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Russia is not one of the biggest exporters of seafood to the U.S., but it’s a world leader in exports of cod (the preference for fish and chips in the U.S.). It’s also a major supplier of crabs and Alaska pollock, widely used in fast-food sandwiches and processed products like fish sticks.
The impact is likely to be felt globally, as well as in places with working waterfronts. One of those is Maine, where more than $50 million in seafood products from Russia passed through Portland in 2021, according to federal statistics.
“If you’re getting cod from Russia, it’s going to be a problem,” said Glen Libby, an owner of Port Clyde Fresh Catch, a seafood market in Tenants Harbor, Maine. “That’s quite a mess. We’ll see how it turns out.”
Russia exported more than 28 million pounds (12.7 million kilograms) of cod to the U.S. from Jan. 1, 2020, to Jan. 31, 2022, according to census data.
The European Union and United Kingdom are both deeply dependent on Russian seafood. And prices of seafood are already spiking in Japan, a major seafood consumer that is limiting its trade with Russia.
In the U.K., where fish and chips are a cultural marker, shop owners and consumers alike are bracing for price surges. British fish and chip shops were already facing a squeeze because of soaring energy costs and rising food prices.
Andrew Crook, head of the National Federation of Fish Friers, said earlier this month that — even before the war — he expected a third of Britain’s fish and chip shops to go out of business. If fish prices shoot up even higher, “we are in real dire straits,” he said.
In mid-March, the U.K. slapped a 35% tariff hike on Russian whitefish, including chip-shop staples cod and haddock.
“We’re a massive part of U.K. culture and it would be a shame to see that go,” he told broadcaster ITV.
U.S. consumers are most likely to notice the impact of sanctions via price and availability of fish, said Kanae Tokunaga, who runs the Coastal and Marine Economics Lab at Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland.
“Because seafood is a global commodity, even if they are not harvested in Russia, you will notice the price hike,” Tokunaga said.
In the U.S., the dependence on foreign cod stems to the loss of its own once-robust Atlantic cod fishery that cratered in the face of overfishing and environmental changes. U.S. fishermen, based mostly in New England, brought more than 100 million pounds (45.4 million kilograms) of cod to the docks per year in the early 1980s, but the 2020 catch was less than 2 million pounds (900,000 kilograms).
Regulators have tried to save the fishery with management measures such as very low fishing quotas, and many fishermen targeting other East Coast groundfish species such as haddock and flounder now avoid cod altogether.
Seafood processors in Massachusetts are concerned about job losses due to loss of Russian products, Democratic U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, who does support sanctions on Russia, said.
“I have heard from seafood processors in my home state with concerns about potential sudden effects of a new, immediate ban on imports on their workforce, including hundreds of union workers in the seafood processing industry,” he said on the Senate floor in February.
For U.S. producers of seafood staples such as fish and chips, the lack of Russian cod could mean pivoting to other foreign sources, said Walt Golet, a research assistant professor at the University of Maine’s School of Marine Sciences.
“We might be able to bring in more from Norway, a little more from Canadian fisheries,” Golet said. “It really is driven by the price of those imports.”
As an alternative, producers and consumers could try underutilized fish species caught domestically, such as Atlantic pollock and redfish, said Ben Martens, executive director of Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association.
“Maybe this is a time to use haddock or hake or maybe monkfish, something different,” Martens said. “If it’s going to disrupt supply chains it does present an opportunity for other species to fill that void.”

eCash Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “XEC is a centralized coin unlike other coins in the market. Our core idea is to provide an “Equivalent Value Overseas Remittance” through our Eternal Wallet System. We can do any transactions like remittances, payment without any other coins involving hence having a very low transfer or processing fees. The XEC system also preventing hackers and fraudulent activities including tracing back the data, among others. XET refers to a token that can be exchanged with Eternal Coin (XEC) at 1:10 ratio. Eternal Coin (XEC) can be traded and acquired via authorized exchanges ONLY which leads to the disadvantage that XEC can’t be acquired via ANY unauthorized exchanges throughout the world. Therefore, Eternal Token (XET) is developed to be listed and tradable with various currencies on global exchanges. The issuance between two compatible virtual currencies is a new form of virtual currency to solve the disadvantage of XEC and other currencies with a similar situation. “

Joined by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, Ellume Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Sean Parsons inaugurated the new facility, which has the capacity to produce approximately 15 million COVID-19 Home Tests per month and will create hundreds of new jobs.
"From the very onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ellume has been committed to supporting the U.S. government's response. With this new facility, we now have the capacity to substantially scale production to meet any future surge in demand for home tests, while also accelerating innovation in developing solutions for the public health needs of today and tomorrow," said Dr. Sean Parsons, Ellume Founder and CEO. "We are grateful for the support of the US Department of Defense, US Department of Health and Human Services, our partnerships with the State of Maryland, the Governor's office and Frederick County, as well as the highly skilled workforce in Maryland's Biotech Corridor who have helped make this facility a reality."
"Maryland truly is open for business, and we are seeing further proof of that here today as Ellume, a respected, global digital diagnostics company opens its very first U.S.-based facility right here in Frederick County," said Governor Larry Hogan. "I want to congratulate the entire team at Ellume, and thank you for investing in the future of our state and helping to build on the already strong mateship between our two great nations."
"The pandemic and the economic disruptions it has caused underscore the need to improve our supply chains and make more in America – especially critical medical equipment," said Senator Chris Van Hollen. "With a federal investment of more than $230 million, Ellume is joining us in our efforts to bring more American manufacturing jobs to our state as they produce the tests we need to stay on top of the ongoing fight against COVID-19. This investment in Western Maryland will strengthen the region and its economy."
"I am delighted to welcome Ellume's flagship facility to Frederick County," said Congressman Jamie Raskin. "Keeping the COVID-19 pandemic at bay requires sustained investment in our public health infrastructure. I am proud that Maryland's Eighth District continues to serve as an economic and public health engine for our nation."
Ellume's COVID-19 Home Test, the first over-the-counter (OTC) rapid antigen test to receive emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is a best-in-class product that Americans count on to keep their families safe. One of the most reliable at-home antigen tests on the market, it is also the only at-home antigen test to use fluorescent detection technology – usually reserved for healthcare professionals and clinical laboratories – and one of the only tests to incorporate sample quality controls to support accurate results. Ellume COVID-19 Home Tests are currently available through a variety of major retailers and in partnership with Federal and local governments.
Test assembly operations were initiated at the Frederick facility in February 2022. The facility will initially bring 200 jobs to the community and up to 1,500 when operating at full capacity.
An innovator in infectious disease digital diagnostics and global health preparedness, Ellume continues to work with the U.S. government to respond to COVID-19 and prepare for and mitigate future pandemics.

SIBU (April 1): Regional Corridor Development Authority (Recoda) will prioritise all proposals gathered from three socio-economic labs organised for Upper Rajang Development Agency (URDA), Highland Development Agency (HDA) and Northern Region Development Agencies (NRDA).
Recoda chief executive officer Datu Ismawi Ismuni said this was for successful implementation of a five-year socio-economic development plan for each development agency from this year until 2026.
“In a nutshell, this is the reason why Recoda organised the labs, and also to align ourselves with the aspiration of the state government’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS 2030).
“If we look at the agenda of PCDS 2030, it is to increase the people’s level of income from RM4,000 to RM15,000 by 2030,” he told reporters at the end of URDA Socio-Economic Lab on Wednesday.
Similar lab was held in Miri on March 3 for HDA, followed by NRDA in Lawas on March 22.
Earlier, Ismawi said when the state government set up URDA and HDA in 2017 and NRDA in 2018, the areas under them were lacking in terms of infrastructure and amenities.
He said all or most of the RM1.5 billion allocated each to URDA, HDA and NRDA from the state government had been spent to develop infrastructure and amenities in the areas, as they were deemed important enablers.
Recoda has to provide these areas with good road connectivity in order to attract investment, he said.
“But that is not the end of the story. If we look at the concept of total development we also need to include the socio-economic aspect covering the livelihood and income level of the people.
“What is most important here is to create both business and job opportunities and also to increase the income level of the people.
“This is the reason why we organised these labs for the three development agencies,” he said.
Ismawi also explained that previous labs focused on infrastructure and amenities development in the three development agencies areas. This time (for the second labs) the agenda was socio-economic development.
“For the next lab, we will do some fine-tuning. Maybe it is too soon for me to say but do not forget that we also have other projects.
“In Recoda when we do mega projects, we always do a lab. For example, we organise a value assessment lab where we bring in the stakeholders who will tell us what is happening on the ground.
“That way we can adjust the scope of our projects, for example, what we should avoid and which area we can go into.
“This is the methodology we are embarking on in Recoda in line with international practices of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,” he said.
Recoda is a statutory body set up in 2006 to oversee and manage Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE).
In addition to drawing investments and creating job opportunities for Sarawakians, Recoda is also entrusted by the state government since 2017 to implement development projects in the regions overseen by its three development agencies with funds totalling RM4.5 billion.

Which women’s shapewear is best?
Whether you have a special event coming up or just want to look your best for work, you’ll likely feel even more confident with the right women’s shapewear. Shapewear can help you achieve a perfectly smooth silhouette in dresses, skirts, pants and more.
Women’s shapewear features a snug, stretchy material that streamlines your figure. It’s available in many different styles, with some that slim your entire body, while others target specific areas. If you’re looking for shapewear to smooth your stomach, thighs and hips with light control, the Spanx Lightweight Layer Mid-Thigh Shaping Short is a perfect choice.
What to know before you buy women’s shapewear
Style
Women’s shapewear comes in many types and styles. You should pick one that smooths your silhouette while still feeling comfortable. Depending on the design, they can support your chest and buttock while smoothing your stomach, hips and thighs.
- Shaping bodysuits: These bodysuits are the most widely used shapewear. They resemble a one-piece swimsuit and usually have a closure in the crotch, making it easier to use the bathroom. A bodysuit works well underneath shirts, dresses, skirts, pants and more.
- Shaping slips/dresses: These dresses or slips are like a shaping bodysuit, but they feature a hem that hits around the knees. Shaping slips and dresses are only suitable for use under a dress or skirt.
- Shaping tanks/camisoles: These tops look just like a regular tank top or camisole but support your chest and smooth your stomach. They work well under most tops.
- Shaping underwear: These underwear come in many styles, including briefs. They work under nearly any type of bottom, including tight-fitting pants or skirts.
- Shaping shorts and leggings: These shorts or pants help smooth your stomach, hips and thighs. Some shorts-style shapewear end at the knees, while others go all the way to your calves or ankles.
Sizing
Your shapewear won’t have the right effect you want if you don’t get the right size. Wearing a piece that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and cause an uneven line in your clothing. Consult the shapewear sizing chart to determine your proper size. You’ll likely need to measure key areas of your body to determine your sizing, like your bust, waist and hips.
Material
Shapewear material is usually a combination of nylon and spandex. Pieces with more nylon typically offer the most slimming effect. You can find lightweight pieces with nylon/spandex blends, but you may prefer cotton or microfiber shapewear in hot weather.
What to look for in quality women’s shapewear
Control level
Some women’s shapewear pieces offer more control than others, so their slimming or smoothing effect is more obvious.
The most common control level options are:
- Light control: Light control shapewear doesn’t offer as much compression, so it works well for a general slimming effect. It’s also the most comfortable option if you wear shapewear every day.
- Firm control: Firm control shapewear provides more compression, so it’s ideal for smoothing out specific areas of the body.
- Extra-firm control: Extra-firm control shapewear offers the most compression and has pretty dramatic results. It tends to be more uncomfortable than other shapewear, though, so you may want to save it for special occasions.
Color
Most women’s shapewear comes in white, black and nude options. White and nude shapewear is perfect under light clothing because it won’t show through the material. Nude pieces are usually the most invisible option, though. You can find shapewear in some other colors, too, including pink, blue and red.
How much you can expect to spend on women’s shapewear
Women’s shapewear has a wide price range, costing $6-$100. You can usually find shaping underwear and tanks or camisoles for $6-$20, while shaping bodysuits, slips and dresses can cost $20-$60. For extra-firm control or full-body pieces, you will likely pay $60-$100.
Women’s shapewear FAQ
Is shapewear meant for everyday wear?
A. Some people like to wear light control shapewear every day to help them feel more confident in their clothing. If your shapewear is the correct size, you can wear it every day. However, firm- and extra-firm pieces may not be comfortable enough to wear daily.
What’s the best way to clean shapewear?
A. It depends on your shapewear’s materials, so always consult the care label to determine how to wash it. Most pieces require hand-washing and air-drying, but you may find some machine-washable shapewear.
What’s the best women’s shapewear to buy?

Biden to sign executive order on regulating, issuing cryptocurrency
President Biden is reportedly set to sign an executive order on cryptocurrency this week that will direct several federal agencies to investigate and develop policies and regulations on digital currencies.
The order is likely to be signed Wednesday, according to Reuters, and would be the White House’s first step toward regulating cryptocurrency.
It will reportedly outline what the federal agencies, including the Treasury, State and Commerce departments, need to do to develop regulations and policies on the cryptocurrency market, according to The Associated Press.
The order will ask the State Department to make sure that American cryptocurrency laws align with those of U.S. allies, the AP reported. It will also reportedly task the Financial Stability Oversight Council, which identifies risks to the country’s financial stability, to investigate any financial concerns.
And it will request the Justice Department to look into whether a new law is needed to create a new currency, according to Reuters, with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other agencies studying the consumer impact.
The order comes amid concerns over whether Russia could use cryptocurrency to get around the crushing U.S. sanctions issued in response to its invasion of Ukraine.
“We will continue to look at how the sanctions work and evaluate whether or not there are liquid leakages and we have the possibility to address them,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last week, according to the AP. “I often hear cryptocurrency mentioned and that is a channel to be watched.”
On Monday, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in a statement advised “all financial institutions to be vigilant against potential efforts to evade the expansive sanctions and other U.S.-imposed restrictions” in connection to Russia’s war on Ukraine.
“Although we have not seen widespread evasion of our sanctions using methods such as cryptocurrency, prompt reporting of suspicious activity contributes to our national security and our efforts to support Ukraine and its people,” acting Director Him Das said.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Even if you're not a big fan of movies or showbusiness, and even if you weren't watching or were asleep, you must've heard what happened during the 94th Annual Academy Awards already. To sum it up: Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.
Angry at the attitude of Chris, who made a joke about Jada, who had to shave off due to alopecia, he yelled at him live to keep his wife's name out of his mouth.
For the first time since the tense moment that was lived in the middle of the award ceremony, Chris made a forceful release and admitted that he still cannot believe what happened on the air.
Chris Rock talked:
Since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock during the Oscars ceremony, the comedian kept quiet and the only thing that was known was that he decided not to proceed legally against the actor. However, in his recent show (obtained by Variety) he received a standing ovation from the public and took advantage of the space to talk about it.
Rock began by jokingly asking how the weekend of the hearing had been and explained that he is still processing what happened, so he would prefer to delve into the subject later.
"I'm not sure what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a full show that I wrote before this weekend. I'm still processing what happened. So I'll talk about that at some point. And it will be serious and fun", said Chris Rock.
Later an audience member yelled, "Rot Will Smith!" but Rock ignored the comment and began his comedy performance. "I'm going to tell some jokes," he said. "It's nice to be outside."

Emergency budget needed to tackle cost-of-living crisis, says TUC
Union leaders are calling for an emergency budget to help working families who are at “breaking point” because of the cost-of-living crisis.
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) said pay and benefits will be “swallowed up” by higher bills and inflation, with households hit with crippling new energy bills as the price cap rises on Friday.
The union body said measures announced in the Chancellor’s spring statement last week were “woefully inadequate”, warning of the worst living standards crisis in generations
The TUC said the Chancellor should return to Parliament to announce fresh economic support, including an increase in the minimum wage to at least £10 an hour, new grants paid for by a windfall tax on energy and oil company profits and an increase in Universal Credit.
The TUC estimated that energy bills will rise at least 10 times faster than wages this year.
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said: “People shouldn’t be struggling to cover the basics, but millions of families have been pushed to breaking point by spiralling bills and soaring inflation.
“This is a living standards emergency. Rishi Sunak must come back to Parliament and present an emergency budget. We need a proper package of economic support for families.
“Britain faces the worst living standards crisis in generations. We need an emergency budget to bring down energy bills and to boost pay, Universal Credit and pensions.”
The TUC added that the Chancellor should announce further support for public services and energy intensive businesses to help them deal with sharp rises in costs.
Rachel Reeves, shadow chancellor, said: “Rishi Sunak is out of touch and his cynical political choices are making the cost of living crisis worse by hiking taxes for workers while shielding the record profits of oil and gas producers.
“The Conservatives should adopt Labour’s plans for a one-off windfall tax to provide cut household energy bills by up to £600 – and do so as fast as possible.
“The Chancellor’s spring statement was totally inadequate in addressing the realities facing working people and the least well off.”
A Government spokesperson said: “We understand that people are struggling with the rising cost of living – we can’t shield everyone from the global challenges we face but we’re putting billions of pounds back into the pockets of hard-working families across the UK.
“We are taking action worth over £22 billion next financial year to help people with the cost of their energy bills and to ensure people keep more of their money.
“We’re increasing the national insurance thresholds, saving a typical employee over £330 a year, we’ve put in place a £9.1 billion package to help households with rising energy bills, we’re boosting incomes by £1,000 on average for a full-time worker by increasing the National Living Wage, and we’re helping low-income families keep more of what they earn by reducing the universal credit taper rate.”

DENVER — Astronaut Jessica Watkins, who grew up in Boulder County and attended Fairview High School, will become the first Black woman to spend an extended period of time living and working on the space station.
Watkins will take part in NASA’s SpaceX Crew 4 mission, which begins on April 20.
“It's a tremendous honor for me, it's an important milestone for the agency and for the country," Watkins said. "I'm just honored to be a small part of the legacy of Black women astronauts who came before me and those that will come behind me as well."
Watkins is a geologist and will serve as a mission specialist, working with scientists on the ground to conduct research. This will be her first mission.
“As a rookie... there are many different aspects of it that I look forward to. But I think that the most exciting for me, especially as a geologist, is getting to look out the window and getting to see Earth from the unique vantage point that ISS provides and being able to see geologic landforms and features from that perspective,” Watkins said.
Kjell Lindgren, a veteran member of the crew, attended the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, earned his master's degree from Colorado State University and earned his doctorate of medicine from the University of Colorado.
Lindgren went to the International Space Station seven years ago and says he looks forward to going back.
“For the first part of the mission, as we're launching to the to the International Space Station, I have the privilege of serving as commander for that segment,” Lindgren said. “Once we get on the space station, I will be one of the flight engineers.”
Lindgren says the research the crew will conduct will improve life back here on Earth.
“We will be conducting the operations that will enable future exploration to the moon and to Mars, and to really extend our presence in the galaxy,” Lindgren said.
As the crew prepares for take-off in a few weeks, Watkins says she hopes her historic mission shows young people that dreams can come true.
“Certainly, for any young girl, young person of color, young people at all, I would just say find something that you really love, something that you are super passionate about, and just pursue that relentlessly," Watkins said. "Dream big, and don't be afraid to take risks."

Halfway through August of 2021, I took a road trip to the small farming community of Jasper, MO to visit an old military friend. Winding through desolate roads bordered by thick kudzu, drenched in the late summer air, and engulfed by the afternoon light - you could feel the transitional period of summer bleeding into fall within this southwestern corner of Missouri.
The drive was an ideal setting for reflection, and there was a great deal to reflect about: I had recently completed fourteen months of COVID shifts as a dialysis technician, cultural tensions within our country had only become more violent, and the tragic end to a twenty year American war had begun halfway across the world in Afghanistan. A collective feeling of uncertainty was palpable nationwide, so it only seemed appropriate to visit a mentor who consistently offered me invaluable guidance when I served under their leadership.
This mentor was my former Senior Chief, whose title was Senior Chief Travis Neher during the time I served with them. Senior Chief Neher is a two time combat veteran, flight paramedic, second degree black belt in karate, triathlete, gun store owner, award winning sharpshooter, and first place winner in the Cutest Baby Contest at the ‘75 Jasper County Fair. But that is just scratching the surface.
For those unfamiliar with the military, a Senior Chief is the second highest enlisted rank you can achieve in the Navy. Senior Chief Neher was my leader, and together we were Navy Hospital Corpsman - essentially medical personnel. The United States Marine Corps depends on the Navy for medical support, therefore Senior Chief Neher and myself were attached as medics to the 3rd Battalion, 23rd Marines Reserve unit based in St. Louis.
During the time we served together, officers and enlisted members alike would worship the ground Senior Chief Neher walked on. It was common to overhear whispers in the hallways detailing Senior Chief Neher’s life saving actions during their combat tours in Iraq. Senior Chief Neher was well known for enthusiastically sharing their wealth of military and medical knowledge, whether you wanted to hear it or not. It was a running joke that we would drop any and all evening plans once we gathered to discuss our orders, because Senior Chief Neher always made sure even the most mundane details were discussed meticulously.
Senior Chief Neher retired from the Navy after 25 years of dedicated service. Their journey was riddled with countless obstacles, some, a matter of life or death. However, Senior Chief Neher’s most recent accomplishment was their most challenging of all, and once again, a matter of life or death — coming out publicly as transgender.
I learned about my former Senior Chief’s transition in a very twentieth century fashion. After I completed my military obligation, Senior Chief Neher retired shortly thereafter. Years went by, and one day a “suggested follow” popped up on my Instagram feed displaying the account of Tricia Neher. When I realized that Tricia Neher was my former Senior Chief, it came as a massive surprise. This discovery also immediately challenged many of my own stereotypes regarding masculinity and femininity. What does it take to be a man? A woman? Does it really matter?
The Senior Chief I served under was Travis Neher: a “Man's Man,” a triathlete winning war hero who owned a gun store in Southwestern Missouri. Someone you only pictured in camo or carhartt, yet here were photos of her donned in a mini-skirt and a pink headband. Also, she was undeniably happy in these Instagram posts.
I sent my former Senior Chief a direct message offering support, and later that week we spoke over the phone. When Tricia answered my phone call I immediately blurted out “Senior Chief! Wow, how are you?”, to which she replied “It’s been three years since I retired, Hemmer. You can stop calling me Senior Chief now. My name is Tricia.” I happily concurred.
We spoke for hours about the struggles and heartbreak she endured all of her life. Tricia elaborated on the societal expectations that came with growing up in Jasper, MO and how these standards dictated what should be “masculine” or “feminine." Tricia always knew she was a woman, but she felt forced to suppress her femininity due to the stubborn beliefs already instilled within her environment. This suppression only grew stronger as time went on, and reached a breaking point once she retired from the military. I offered to pay her a visit with the intention of sharing her story, and in a couple of weeks I arrived at her family farm.
I was greeted by Tricia after I accidentally parked in her parents’ driveway.
“What are you doing, Hemmer?” Tricia jokingly said, as I immediately felt like I was right back in my former military days.
“Sorry, I still can't get anything right!” I replied.
Although it had been three years with various major life changes between us both, an instant feeling of comfort came with seeing Tricia again.
Tricia led me into her home, which was reminiscent of temporary barracks you would see in a Forward Operating Base overseas. Being a flight paramedic who answers emergency calls across multiple states, Trica was hardly ever home. As a result, her living quarters acted as a staging area more than a homestead, indicative of the lifestyle Tricia has been familiar with for the last few decades. Every wall was filled with awards showcasing their many achievements, and mixed in between past military photos and racks of modified rifles was a newly hung transgender flag.
“Shall we start?” Tricia asked as we sat down at her kitchen table to begin recording our conversation.
Reuben Hemmer: What was it like growing up in Jasper, Missouri? How did growing up here impact your life decisions?
Tricia Neher: Jasper is a small farming town where everyone knows everything about everyone. There are three churches, and everyone goes, including myself. My father was a police officer for several years, and we grew up in an environment where guys were expected to go hunting and trapping. I learned about gun safety when I was 5 years old, and by 7 I knew I was trans. It felt like something was wrong with me. A lot of my life I just thought I was broken. Something physically or mentally wrong with me. Time went on and these feelings never changed. You know how teenagers had porn magazines under their bed? I had women's fashion magazines, because I love the way the outfits looked. I had to hide all of these things, because acting effeminate then would have been asking for trouble. It was dangerous.
Around my senior year of high school I knew I wanted to go into the medical field due to my father being a first responder. I really wanted to be a nurse, but in the early ‘90s it was still only a woman's job. I went to CNA school anyway, because I truly enjoyed it. I rode a bus to CNA school, and I was one of the few men to attend the CNA program. The rest of the guys on the bus were going to tech school and made fun of us incessantly. I felt like I had to make a decision. If you were a manly man, you had to prove that in our community, it’s like you reached some pinnacle. Like, ‘look at this person, he’s done some manly stuff!' This is society’s check off. This is something I didn’t realize until many years later, but every single thing that I did was based on how I was perceived as ‘being a man’ in our society.
I was so confused at this point, emotionally, mentally, sexually. I knew I was different. I remembered a friend of my dad who survived the Vietnam War thanks to a Navy Hospital Corpsman. I thought about all of the men in my family who served in the military, and I decided that's what I want to do.
Your military career is so extensive, from running ambulance calls while stationed in Pearl Harbor to two separate combat tours in Iraq. How were you able to navigate these feelings while in the military?
Despite recognizing that so much of what I did was to suppress my femininity, the complicated thing is the military encompasses a large part of my existence. I realized that the military offered me structure through guidelines and regulations. The thought processes and other aspects would keep my trans feelings in check. I told myself ‘If I got kicked out of the military, how would this look?’ and that thought was constantly in the back of my head. The more rank I put on, the more important that became. There is a perception that you’re not a human anymore, you’re that rank. I never showed it, but each rank I rose, the more stress it would put on me.
Despite these feelings of stress, I saw first hand how you excelled in the military, more so than most. Everyone I served with always praised your actions and leadership. However, it seems like there were emotions constantly attempting to escape. Those feelings coupled with the amount of trauma you experienced while in Iraq had to feel so complicated.
I have thought a lot about ‘fighting for freedom’ over the years, and when I joined I didn’t realize just yet that a large part of me joining was suppressing my femininity. However, I also knew that I wanted to serve my country. I come from a long lineage of military members, and it only made sense. You go into the military with some type of idealism in your head, and you find out quickly those ideals are largely unfounded.
Every war fought over the last 50 years has been based on politics, and then when you get to a warzone you don’t see those politicians there, you see a first hand view of oppression. I do believe Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator, but when you go to combat your view of life changes. Your views on what's important and who you are changes. When you face death multiple times a week, and wonder why the person next to you died and you didn't, it wears on you. Every one of those deaths wears on you. It’s still the death of a human, and that is something you have to process later on. It doesn’t matter if it is a Marine, civilian, or enemy combatant when you’re collecting body parts to put in bags, you start to question things.
[At this point Tricia rolled up her pant leg to show me familiar tattoos I recognized from when we served together, however I never understood the meaning behind them. The tattoos are of four separate paw prints, each tattoo signifying a Marine attached to Tricia’s sister infantry unit who died during combat in Iraq.]
[solemnly] These Marines never made it home. [pause] Excuse me for a moment, I need to use the restroom.
[As Tricia excused herself, I used this opportunity to check my phone. “Kabul has fallen to the Taliban.” read a text sent from a friend. It was indescribable to have a conversation with Tricia regarding the death of young men, unimaginable civilian suffering, and decades of tragedy due to war at the same moment the American conflict in Afghanistan came to a somber close. Emotions were still very heavy, so I decided to not share what I had read as Tricia came back to the kitchen. We continued our conversation.]
Neher: After my first combat tour, I began to question my own ‘Freedom’. Here I was in a foreign country fighting for freedom when I couldn’t even act as my true self in my own country. When I was stationed near Fort Leonard Wood, I would stay home and dress as a woman instead of going out and being social. I was isolating myself from everyone. It was so much easier to stay home and be who I truly was rather than go outside and be scrutinized. Is that freedom? Around this time I was finding it harder and harder to suppress my feelings of femininity. I couldn't go talk to someone in the military, otherwise I'd be given the ‘gender dysphoria’ stamp and my career would be over.
It had to be so difficult to continue with the Navy after the trauma you endured, especially after your newfound realizations. It also sounds like it was becoming more and more challenging to hide your true self. How were you able to guide all of these thoughts and feelings while maintaining a military career?
I ended up joining the Navy reserves to continue my service with the military, because the reserves were a place where I could find time to feel like myself. There was less of a chance of me being caught in the reserves. However, as time went on I saw the writing on the wall with the Trump presidency. Negative comments towards the gay, lesbian, and trans communities had always been common, but this was different. There was a lot of open ridicule and rhetoric towards completely destroying the careers of LGTBQ people already in the military. Extremely dedicated people who put their blood, sweat, and tears into this country. It was time for me to go.
Looking back, how do you feel about dedicating a whole career to the military? Ultimately I am proud of the accomplishments I made in the military. I am patriotic, and I am glad I served. However, I was wearing a costume everyday. Any time I would start thinking or feeling like Tricia, I would tell myself to stop.
It was a few years after your retirement that you decided to transition. What ultimately led to that decision?
I started my transition in May of 2019. I was still married, and to say my marriage was on the rocks was the understatement of the century. The conversations my ex and I had led me to seek therapy, because it was very obvious I couldn’t be open with my spouse. Every time I mentioned the subject her walls went up. I couldn’t be honest with myself, so how could I be honest with someone else? Therapy made me really dig deep inside of myself, and it really showed me the problems I needed to fix.
The reality is that most transgender people get to a breaking point before getting into therapy. The problem is that therapy should happen before that breaking point. So many trans people decide to either eat a bullet, or swallow a handful of pills instead, because of the fear of how they are perceived by society. That was me in October of 2019. I had reached that point where I had a plan, I had a method, I made sure no one was going to find me. I knew my ex was moving out, she wasn’t coming back. This part of my life was done, so who cares? I still don’t know what caused me to rethink it — I jokingly say it was a long bicycle ride — it got me out of the bottom of that bucket somehow. It's a miracle I did, with resources so hard to find, it’s so easy to feel hopeless.
You mentioned your wife had left when you came out as transgender. How was the rest of your family's response? The community of Jasper?
Well my wife left me and that was messy, but it doesn’t discount the extreme bond I had with this person for many years. At first people were confused. People just thought I was gay. People were so scared to even talk to me about it. Thankfully my parents are extremely supportive. When I came out to my mom, she started to have tiny epiphanies about my actions during childhood, etc. She never stopped caring for me, same with my dad. There have been many, many challenges though. Especially in this area, and especially in this state.
Do you feel comfortable sharing those challenges?
My first time getting hormones was the worst part of my transition, and it was almost the reason I committed suicide. It was through the VA Hospital, and they have a massive gatekeeping system. Your therapist you’re seeing has to check these boxes off of a list saying you’re either trans or have gender dysphoria. It’s a very antiquated system of treatment. Most of the modern models of transgender care are based on Informed Consent. If you do not meet these requirements of transgender care, you do not receive your hormones. I was one of these people. I felt utterly hopeless, and like I could never be myself. I started chatting with a trans woman in St. Louis through Instagram, and she was able to direct me to get hormones. She saved my life. I now share the information that she gave me to help other trans people in this state, because this is a transphobic state.
On the subject of Missouri being transphobic, you mentioned you had to post your name change in a local newspaper for three weeks. Do you mind explaining that?
It is a state law in Missouri that if you change your name, you must publish your name in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks. What does that mean for a trans person? People in a small town notice these things. If some anti-trans fanatic picks up the newspaper and sees a man's name change to a woman's name, he doesn’t have to put two and two together. It’s dangerous, and puts trans people at harm. Despite these concerns, the judge was very specific that I had to do this, and that it was required by law.
You’re a well respected combat veteran, someone who I would stereotype in small town Missouri as being praised by everyone, everywhere you went. However, have you ever feared for your safety since coming out as transgender publicly?
Yes. I still had to use the male locker room at the local YMCA, and I told the management there you might start getting complaints about the girl in the locker room, because I was bracing to be confronted. Which happened. It was scary. I feel much safer in a women's locker room, because not once has a woman yelled 'Oh my god there's a man in a dress in here!' where in a men’s locker room I have been threatened with violence. I’m just trying to change my clothes and use the restroom in peace, not to stare at people. It’s why I still will never understand the bathroom/locker room debate.
Has this affected your local gun business as well?
It has, but I also attribute that to the pandemic. Gun sales in general are suffering. However, there were a few customers who have come over, seen me as Tricia, and never came back. To be honest at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter to me. My gun business was something I enjoyed, but I have realized it was also a coping mechanism for me. There’s definitely an air of masculinity with owning a gun store. It was a blessing in disguise though.
I started social media to build my gun business, but I realized I could do more by sharing my journey of transitioning. I have been able to talk a few trans friends down from suicide just because I was more visible on social media. I don’t think people understand how many gay, lesbian, and trans people serve in the military. So many have stories of being called out by their commands, or being 'found out.' These people are then asked to keep their true self a secret, or risk having their career ended. This takes a horrible toll on your mental and emotional health.
I am so happy to hear you’re helping so many people inside and outside the military. As I mentioned before, you were highly respected by your peers during your Navy career. How has their response been since you came out as transgender?
The response has been mostly mixed. I either flat out told people, or stumbled my way through it. I do think being open about my transition with former service members is important, because most of these people probably never had an interaction with a trans person before. My experience humanizes who a trans person is, and hopefully sheds more light on how I just want to live a normal life as Tricia. That’s the goal for every trans person, we just want to be accepted and live a comfortable, normal life.
Have you ever been apprehensive about telling a former military colleague about your transition?
Yes. A good example of how hard it has been was telling my best friend. He was a Senior Chief just like me, and was alongside me for my two combat tours. He was also my best man at my wedding. In our career he was the hammer, and I was the feather. He was the gruff macho man who got things done by force, and I was there to guide. When I decided to come out publicly, I asked myself ‘How the hell am I even going to do this? How is he going to accept me?’
How has life been lately? Have things slightly normalized, are you able to find peace and security in Jasper as of late?
They have, and I owe so much of it to my family. To call my cousin Rebecca an ally would be an understatement. My parents are supportive, and folks at my work are beginning to learn I’m finally me. I feel like I need to stay in Jasper to help teach people within the area that trans people are humans, and that societal expectations on gender should not dictate someone's life, or interests. There is still so much work that needs to be done.
To my understanding you have even begun to date again?
Yes, I think one thing people do not realize is that you can be a trans woman, and still be attracted to women and vice versa. I recently went on a few dates with a lesbian woman, and we like each other because we are attracted each other, physical traits and personality. It’s that simple. Who you are attracted to may vary from person to person, but it’s no different than a heterosexual relationship. Unfortunately this still seems odd to a vast majority because this perception is still socially viewed as flawed or ‘immoral.’ We just like each other, that's it. It is ironic though, you’d be surprised how many seemingly straight men send flirtatious messages to me on social media.
After six hours of conversation the sun began to set, and it was time for me to be on my way. We stepped outside of Tricia’s house and said our goodbyes under the pink horizon. As I looked around I began to understand why Tricia wanted to stay in Jasper, a difficult and dangerous place to be transgender. Her farm resembled a compound of familial love and support, secured by walls of endless cornfields. Outside of that perimeter was another battle to be fought, which was nothing new for Tricia.
Before I left, I asked Tricia “So whatever happened to your friend you served combat tours with? The one who was your best man at your wedding. Did you ever talk to him about coming out as transgender? I know you said you were most apprehensive about telling him.”
“Yes,” Tricia replied, “He was convinced my wife left me because I cheated on her or something. So one day I finally called and flat out told him.”
“What was his response?” I asked.
Tricia recounted her best friend's reply: “He told me ‘How long have we known each other? How many times have we been in combat together? You thought you couldn’t come to me with this? This doesn’t change a thing. You’re you. I want you to come to my wedding, and I don’t want you to be the best man. I want you to be the best woman.”

The trip to the World Cup often tends to be bumpy, and once again in 2022 some of the world’s soccer superpowers are missing out. But in the end, four Seattle Sounders were with their national teams when they officially punched their tickets for Qatar. The most active players the Sounders have ever sent to a World Cup is two (2014, 2018), which sets up a pretty high probability that a new record will be set this November. Here’s how we’d assess those chances:
Almost a lock
Nouhou (Cameroon): Very much a fringe national-teamer prior to last year, Nouhou has established himself as a fixture at left back for the Indomitable Lions. He ended up logging 422 minutes during their qualifying campaign and was on the field when they beat Algeria in a playoff, which came on the heels of playing in all six of Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations matches. It would beyond shocking if he’s not on Rigobert Song’s final roster.
Xavier Arreaga (Ecuador): Although he never got off the bench during this most recent window, Arreaga did play in half of Ecuador’s qualifiers during this cycle. That included seven starts and 622 minutes, the most of any Sounders player during qualifying. He seems very likely to be included in Gustavo Alfaro’s group.
Positioned well
Jordan Morris (United States): Despite missing the early parts of qualifying while he was recovering from ACL injury, Morris still managed to make six appearances during the qualifying cycle and even started a must-win game late in the process. Gregg Berhalter and his staff even thought highly enough of him that they included him in camp when he was hurt. Much can change, but he seems more likely than not to make the squad.
Longer shots
Cristian Roldan (United States): It might not seem that way, but Roldan actually played in five of the 14 matches during the final round of qualifying. That he didn’t make a single start during that process and has only started one competitive match since the 2019 Gold Cup is a clear indication that he’s probably very much on the bubble. On the other hand, he is called up very consistently and seems to be a popular locker-room guy who helps raise the level of training. If the rosters expand to 26, he seems to have something like a 50/50 shot.
Raúl Ruidíaz (Peru): There are a couple things working against Ruidíaz’s World Cup hopes. The biggest one is that Perú hasn’t actually qualified yet. They will face the winner of Australia and United Arab Emirates in a one-game intercontinental playoff in June. But even if Perú qualify, it’s unclear how likely Ruidíaz is to be included. While he has appeared in seven qualifiers during this cycle, the last one was in September and he hasn’t started since November 2020. Injuries have played some role in that, but so has his national team form (he’s scored just four times in 42 caps and his last goal was in 2018). Whether he’s called up for that playoff will likely tell us a lot more about his prospects.
True long shots
Nicolás Lodeiro (Uruguay): After being one of the final cuts ahead of the 2018 World Cup, Lodeiro has pretty much fallen out of the team. He hasn’t made an appearance for Uruguay since 2019 and 33-year-olds don’t often get back. That said, Lodeiro is still an exceptionally talented player and it seems within the realm of possibility that he could play well enough to get another shot.
One extreme long shot
Obed Vargas (USA/Mexico): Just to be entirely clear, I do NOT think this is going to happen, but I could envision a scenario where it does. Vargas is still just 16, but is already getting calls into the USA U20 squad and is a regular starter for the Sounders. For the sake of argument, let’s say he keeps improving at this current rate. For now, he seems committed to the United States. But he’s also eligible to represent Mexico, and was a massive fan as a child. It doesn’t seem entirely outside the realm of possibility that El Tri could dangle a World Cup roster spot as enticement to switch. Maybe the US reciprocates. Is it really anymore far-fetched than Julian Green getting the nod over Landon Donovan in 2014?
OK, OK, one more name
Abdoulaye Cissoko (Senegal): This is probably even more unlikely than Vargas getting called in, but Cissoko probably has a chance greater than zero. Last year, he said he’d been in contact with the Senegal national team. And while all their defenders are playing for pretty massive European clubs, the 22-year-old centerback has enough upside that it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he could get a look.

WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don't have an answer for how that's going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that's a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs." Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?" Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden's social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden's agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven't abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden's economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they'd help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That's done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she's looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don't reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has declared an outbreak of norovirus linked to the consumption of raw B.C. oysters.
The outbreak has impacted people in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario — though as of March 30, 262 of the 279 reported cases are in B.C. There have been no deaths associated with the outbreak.
Individuals became sick with norovirus after ingesting raw oysters farmed on B.C.’s west coast. Health Canada recalled certain brands of oysters that were believed to be related to the norovirus outbreak on Feb. 18, March 20, March 23, and March 27, 2022.
READ MORE: Health Canada recalls certain B.C. oysters due to norovirus contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is continuing an investigation into the outbreak which could lead to further recalls. Any recall notices will be shared publicly.
To avoid norovirus infection from oysters, make sure they are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 90 degrees celsius for 90 seconds before eating. Public health agencies do not recommend consuming raw oysters.
If you believe you became sick from consuming the recalled oysters, Health Canada recommends contacting a doctor. Anyone who believes they purchased the product should check to see if they have it in their home or business. Do not consume the recalled oysters — either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
When people become sick with norovirus they typically develop symptoms of gastroenteritis within 24 to 48 hours, but symptoms can start within 12 hours after exposure. Even after becoming infected with norovirus, you can become re-infected. The main symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Other symptoms may include a low-grade fever, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.
Most people start to feel better after a day or two, however in severe cases, some patients require hospitalization. Those most at risk of severe outcomes from norovirus infection include pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, young children and seniors.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy was swinging a gun around and pointing it at several teenagers in a Columbia Heights apartment when he fatally shot a 15-year-old girl, according charges filed Thursday.
The Minneapolis teen was charged in juvenile court with second-degree manslaughter in connection with March 24 shooting of Derryanna Davis of Columbia Heights.
Prosecutors say authorities got a 911 call about gunfire piercing an exterior wall of an apartment. They arrived to find Davis dead, with a gunshot wound to her left side.
Investigators found a gun and determined the shot was fired from inside the apartment. Anoka County Sheriff's deputies also determined there were eight teenagers in the apartment at the time of the shooting, and they fled after the shot was fired.
Several of the teens said the boy was “was playing with the gun, swinging it around and pointing it at the group,” the charges said. But some said he was pointing the gun only at the girl, the Star Tribune reported.

TORRANCE, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (OTCQX: EMMA), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company and leader in the treatment of sickle cell disease, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 and an update on recent activities.
Recent Highlights
- March 2022: Announced that the Florida Medicaid Pharmaceutical & Therapeutics Committee has added Endari® to the Florida Medicaid Preferred Drug List, effective April 1, 2022, eliminating the need for prior authorization for Medicaid patients.
- March 2022: Received full marketing authorization for Endari from the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) Ministry of Health after a five-month review of the company's marketing authorization application.
- December 2021: Presented positive transfusion data from a post-hoc analysis of the phase 3 clinical study of Endari, the company's prescription L-glutamine oral powder, in patients with sickle cell disease, at the 63rd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Data confirmed that Endari meaningfully reduces both pain crises and hospitalizations.
- November 2021: Announced collaboration with UpScript to offer telehealth solutions to sickle cell disease patients, expanding access to Endari. The partnership allows patients to see a doctor remotely and receive same-day physician authorization and prescriptions for Endari, which will be delivered directly to their home within just a few days.
- November 2021: Entered into an agreement with Asembia to provide expanded patient and provider support services to simplify access to Endari. Asembia provides a single point of contact for benefits investigation and financial and co-pay assistance, as well as patient and provider education.
- October 2021: Signed an agreement with Kainos Medicine, Inc., granting Emmaus an exclusive license to patent rights, know-how and other intellectual property relating to Kainos' novel IRAK4 inhibitor (KM10544) for the treatment of cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma and solid tumors.
"Recently, we have made substantial progress in expanding access to Endari for sickle cell disease patients in need," stated Yutaka Niihara, M.D., M.P.H., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Emmaus. "Although our financial results for 2021 were below our expectations, we anticipate that the full roll-out of our new telehealth solution in the coming weeks will improve patient access and efficiency in the delivery of Endari to sickle cell patients throughout the United States. Internationally, we are pleased to have recently received marketing approval of Endari in the U.A.E. and our first major order from our exclusive distributor there. We are actively pursuing additional marketing approvals of Endari to treat the approximately 225,000 sickle cell disease patients throughout the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region and we expect this expanded distribution, along with our telehealth solution, to help generate increased sales of Endari during 2022."
Dr. Niihara continued, "In addition to our focus on increasing patient access to Endari, we have expanded our clinical pipeline. In particular, we have seen promising results from our ongoing preclinical studies of the IRAK4 inhibitor licensed from Kainos Medicine, Inc. in October 2021, which may prove to be a novel, potential treatment option for hard-to-treat lymphomas such as Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia with MYD88 mutation. We also eagerly anticipate results from an additional proof-of-concept study of Endari as a treatment for diverticulosis, expected in mid-2022. If positive, we should be able to move directly into a registration trial. The current year is shaping up to be an exciting one for Emmaus and we look forward to providing updates throughout the year."
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $20.6 million, compared to $23.2 million for 2020. Although sales volume as measured by number of boxes of Endari sold held steady compared to 2020, net revenues were adversely affected by somewhat higher and more frequent discounts afforded distributors on bulk pre-orders in 2021 compared to 2020.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the year were $23.4 million, compared with $21.0 million for 2020. Of the increased expenses, $1.7 million was attributable to increased research and development expenses primarily related to license fees paid to Kainos Medicine, Inc. relating to Kainos' novel IRAK4 inhibitor in research and development expenses associated with the company's pilot/phase 1 diverticulosis sub-study in which enrollment was completed in December 2021. The company also incurred a $1.0 million increase in selling expenses resulting from more frequent travel associated with the lifting of COVID-19 related travel restrictions in the U.S. and foreign countries.
Operating Income (Loss). Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $6.1 million, compared with operating loss of $32,000 in 2020.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense increased by $10.8 million, or 1,074%, to $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to other income of $1.0 million in 2020, which included a $7.7 million gain from sale of marketable securities. The company did not realize a similar gain in 2021. The increase in other expense in 2021 included a $3.5 million increase in foreign exchange loss and a $2.0 million increase in change in fair value of conversion feature derivatives, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in interest expense.
Net Income (Loss). For the year, the company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $15.9 million, or $0.32 per share, based on approximately 49.3 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares. This compares to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share, based on approximately 49.0 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares, for 2020. The increased net loss was primarily attributable to the operating loss for the year and increase in other expense discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. At December 31, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, compared with $2.5 million at December 31, 2020.

Senators seek to freeze Russian gold reserves
A bipartisan group of senators offered legislation on Tuesday to freeze Russia’s gold reserves, arguing the move would make it more difficult for Moscow to avoid the pain from international sanctions imposed over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The free world’s sanctions are devastating Russia’s economy — and as long as Putin continues his unprovoked and horrific invasion of Ukraine, we must keep up the pressure,” Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said in a statement announcing the legislation. “Russia’s massive gold supply is one of the few remaining assets that Putin can use to keep his country’s economy from falling even further.”
The Stop Russian Government and Oligarchs from Limiting Democracy Act would apply secondary sanctions to American entities that intentionally transacted with or transported gold from Russia’s central bank holdings.
Americans would also be subject to sanctions if they sold gold physically or electronically in Russia, according to the proposal, sponsored by King and fellow Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H). The bill would also provide guidance to Americans as to how they could avoid such sanctions, the senators explained.
Today, Russia holds $130 billion in gold reserves in the country and is able to exploit a loophole in the existing sanctions targeting its central bank by allowing government officials and oligarchs to launder money through gold, according to the senators.
Due to this loophole, the Russian Federation is now buying gold to offset the devaluation of the ruble and then selling that gold on international markets in exchange for high-value currency, the senators said.
By implementing secondary sanctions, the senators said that they would aim to deter the purchase of Russian gold and thereby foil Russia’s ability “to soften the financial impact of sanctions.”
“By sanctioning these reserves, we can further isolate Russia from the world’s economy and increase the difficulty of Putin’s increasingly-costly military campaign,” King said. “We urge the speedy passage of these bipartisan sanctions to hold Putin accountable for his crimes.”
Cornyn described Russia as having “taken a page out of Venezuela’s book” by manipulating this legal ambiguity and laundering money through gold.
“This legislation would apply secondary sanctions to parties who help Russia finance their war by buying or selling this blood gold,” Cornyn said in a statement.
Hagerty urged Congress to “make it harder for Putin to liquidate Russia’s gold,” stressing that these activities serve “to fund its invasion of Ukraine.”
“These bipartisan secondary sanctions on Russia’s gold transactions will build on the Biden Administration’s recent Russia sanctions and further choke off Russia’s economy from capital,” Hagerty said.
As Russia’s economy continues to plunge in financial “freefall,” Hassan called upon legislators “to make sure that Putin can’t circumvent our sanctions.”
“This bipartisan bill closes a critical loophole that would allow Russia to sell off its gold reserves to prop up the Russia economy,” Hassan said. “The U.S. and our allies must be steadfast in standing up to Russian aggression and ensure that we block any escape hatch Putin has in getting around the full weight of our sanctions.”

Award-winning fintech uses API technology to transform wealth management
Sharesight is harnessing industry-leading technology to deliver innovative new wealth solutions to investors worldwide.
SYDNEY, NSW, AUSTRALIA, April 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning online portfolio tracker, Sharesight, has seen rapid growth in its fintech ecosystem, which consists of leading global brokers, robo-advisers, research providers and wealth management platforms.The portfolio tracker, which provides performance tracking and tax reporting for over 240,000 global stocks, ETFs and funds, is currently partnered with 25 leading fintech companies via the platform’s API technology, with more key partnerships planned for 2022.
“The Sharesight API is an industry-leading technology that allows us to collaborate with other financial platforms to create new, superior digital solutions for wealth management,” says Doug Morris, CEO at Sharesight.
“Some of these solutions allow investors to automatically sync trading data from their broker(s) to get a full picture of their portfolio’s performance in Sharesight; or to automatically sync cash balances, trades and dividends between Sharesight and Xero – an invaluable feature for investors and financial professionals preparing tax returns."
“We have also integrated our performance tracking capabilities into other wealth management platforms, giving investors the full picture of their net worth and empowering them to make better financial decisions.”
With many investors now trading through multiple brokers, some of Sharesight’s most successful partnerships have been with leading brokers such as CMC Markets Stockbroking.
“We were actually the first broker to integrate with Sharesight’s portfolio tracking software,” says Andrew Rogers, Head of Stockbroking at CMC.
“We saw a lot of value in building to the Sharesight API because it allows us to continue providing investors with a world class trading experience, while also giving our customers access to Sharesight’s advanced performance tracking and tax reporting tools."
“One of the key benefits of Sharesight’s API technology is that it allows companies to expand their product offering and add value for their customers without the time and financial commitment that would otherwise be required to build these features from the ground up,” adds Morris.
Recently, Sharesight has also launched a wave of new partnerships, with some of the most popular being low-cost brokers that specialise in auto-investing, such as Australia and New Zealand-based brokers Pearler and Sharesies.
As a platform designed to help people reach their financial goals through long-term investing, Pearler saw the advantage of integrating with the Sharesight API to create a bigger and better solution, allowing investors to automate both their investments and their performance reporting. The partnership has expanded Pearler’s service offering, with a customer uptake comprising almost one-third of Pearler’s user base.
After receiving countless requests for an integration between Sharesies and Sharesight, Sharesies also found that within just a week of launching the partnership, there were already thousands of customers taking advantage of the ability to sync their Sharesies trades to their Sharesight portfolio.
Sharesight is also partnered with a range of media outlets via the platform’s RSS feed, which provides investors with the latest news for stocks on the ASX, LSE and all major US markets.
The portfolio tracker, which officially launched its Partner Program this year, has plans to further expand its partner ecosystem via integrations with a range of financial advice platforms and digital brokers.

Contemporary artwork to be shown at Balmoral Castle for first time
A piece of contemporary art is being displayed at Balmoral Castle for the first time as part of an exhibition to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The installation, Salmon School, created by artist Joseph Rossano, consists of 250 mirrored glass forms, suspended in the air to look like a school of wild salmon.
The installation aims to highlight the plight of wild salmon and the importance of salmon conversation, as climate change and biodiversity loss threaten their existence in the wild.
It will take centre stage at the Platinum Jubilee exhibition, Life at Balmoral, which will be on show in the castle ballroom between April 1 and August 2 this year.
Mr Rossano said: “The Salmon School is an international collaborative performance project that contextualises the finality of a seemingly infinite resource.
“A synthesis of art and science, the Salmon School fosters environmental awareness, bringing together diverse communities for a greater good — cold, clean water.
“Embracing art’s ability to disarm, to make something beautiful — a sculpture mimicking an ideal, a restored ecosystem — the project achieves measurable change through its actions and initiatives.”
First conceived and shown in the Pacific Northwest in the US, Salmon School was then shown at Cop26, the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November 2021.
Salmon conservation work has been supported by the Queen, the Royal Family and the Balmoral Estate on the River Dee over the last 170 years.
The Balmoral Estate works closely with the River Dee Trust to deliver practical salmon restoration to help protect the endangered fish.
Most recently, across Deeside, the River Dee Trust and Dee District Salmon Fishery Board have introduced a One Million Trees campaign to plant riverbank trees, to help restore the Dee and save its salmon.
Trees are said to have multiple benefits in helping wild salmon to thrive, including providing shade over the water, nourishment through leaves and insects, and helping to stabilise the riverbanks to prevent erosion.
In the last five years, the Balmoral Estate has planted 300,000 trees along the River Dee.
The work to protect wild salmon also includes using windblown trees to create large wooden structures in the rivers on the estate, to offer a variety of salmon habitats, which in turn give shelter from bad weather and trap nutrients.
Small wooden dams have also been created in the estate’s smaller streams to help river flows in times of flood and drought.

DENVER – A person who was involved in a vehicle chase that started in Wyoming Thursday afternoon died after a crash with a Colorado State Patrol trooper on Highway 85 near Ault.
The pursuit entered Colorado around 2:45 p.m. from Wyoming on Highway 85 and involved a person wanted for a parole violation out of Minnesota who was driving a sedan, according to Colorado State Patrol.
CSP said a trooper and Ault police officer deployed stop sticks as the vehicle drove south. CSP said the driver swerved into a trooper’s vehicle, which caused the CSP vehicle to roll.
The suspect’s sedan crossed a drainage ditch and ended up in a field off the highway, according to video from the scene.
The person in the card died as a result of the crash and was not believed to be wearing a seatbelt, according to CSP. The trooper whose vehicle rolled suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
CSP did not identify the person who was involved in the pursuit and crash. Highway 85 was still closed as of 5:25 p.m.

Which Maytag top-load washer is best?
Everyone needs to wash their clothes and no one likes doing it by hand. Maytag top-load washers have all the features you want and need, and its prices are difficult to beat. And the best Maytag top-load washer is the Maytag 5.3-Cubic-Foot Smart-Capable Top-Load Washing Machine. It has plenty of space for handling large loads, and it’s Energy Star certified.
What to know before you buy a Maytag top-load washer
Pros and cons of a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag top-load washers have several pros and cons.
- Pros: Top-load washers are more affordable than front-loaders, and Maytag is an affordable mid-range brand. They are easier to load and unload and tend to have larger capacities and quicker cycles than front-loaders. They also have a lower leak risk.
- Cons: Top-load washers tend to make more noise as the wash basket knocks against the walls. They use more energy and water than front-loaders, even if they’re high-efficiency. They can’t be stacked, either, which may leave you with too little space in your laundry room.
Size and capacity
Maytag top-load washers have an external size and an internal capacity. The two rarely directly correlate.
- Size determines how much space your washer will take up. As top-loaders can’t be stacked, size is of greater importance with them than with a front-loader. You need to leave room for your dryer, after all.
- Capacity determines how many clothes can be washed at once and is given in cubic feet. Small households can comfortably get by with less than 4 cubic feet while large households will likely need 5 cubic feet or more.
High efficiency
High-efficiency Maytag top-load washers use less energy and water but clean just as effectively. They usually have larger capacities, but you can still find small-capacity models. The only downside is the need to use specialized HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will break your HE washer.
Impeller vs. agitator mixers
Maytag top-load washers use either impeller or agitator mixers.
- Impeller mixers use a no-post disk that rotates, causing clothes to gently rub against each other to scrub out stains. There’s no risk of tearing but the clothes may not get as clean.
- Agitator mixers use a center post with fins that twists back and forth, forcing clothes to sharply rub against each other to scrub out stains. Clothes tend to get cleaner but there’s a risk of damage.
What to look for in a quality Maytag top-load washer
Cycle options
Most Maytag top-load washers have multiple cycle options outside of the standards such as delicate and large load. Some of the more common cycles include deep-water rinse, extra power and a customizable cycle that can be saved.
Energy Star certification
When a Maytag top-load washer is listed as Energy Star certified, it has been independently examined and observed to meet the minimum requirements for energy efficiency. This means it will have less impact on the environment and your bank account. It’s important to point out “minimum” here, as you’ll need an Energy Star-certified high-efficiency washer for maximum efficiency.
How much you can expect to spend on a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag is an excellent mid-range brand and its prices reflect that. Its best and biggest options rarely exceed $1,000 with most washers costing $800-$1,000. Its cheapest cost around $600.
Maytag top-load washer FAQ
How do I fix a Maytag top-load washer that isn’t draining?
A. There are two likely causes. The first is simply that you overfilled your washing machine. However, if that isn’t the case, the issue is likely with your plumbing — most probably some kind of clog in the line. You’ll need to hire a plumber.
What kind of Maytag top-load washer is quietest?
A. No washing machine will ever be quiet, but there are a few aspects you can prioritize that lead to quieter operation. Look for high-efficiency washers and those with impeller mixers. Also, consider placing your Maytag washer as far from common spaces as possible.

Though St. Louis is full of thriving local businesses, many fly under the radar, undeservedly. Here are some of our favorite smaller retailers.
So Jeff Retro (2623 Cherokee Street) offers a fun and sustainable blast from the past. The no-fuss, almost warehouse-like interior is filled with unique furniture finds and antique gems. You'll find something for every room: mid-century-modern dressers, a couch that teleports you back into your grandma's living room in the '70s, vintage paintings and more.
Nostalgia abounds as you sit on the floral-print, worn-down sofa, or swivel on '50s-diner-style, bright-pink-pleather barstools. Some items need a little TLC, but others look frozen in time.
Born in 2013 on South Jefferson Avenue, the shop landed on Cherokee Street last year. It offers sidewalk clearance items that don't break the bank. And the store posts daily on Facebook and Instagram, offering deals you can buy from your couch.
EyeSeeMe (6951 Olive Boulevard, 314-349-1122) is an African-American children's bookstore, as well as a one-stop shop for books centering on Black characters and stories. Husband and wife proprietors Jeffrey and Pamela Blair work together to engage children in reading.
They also work to boost childhood literacy in underserved regions and confront book bans, partnering with In Purpose Educational Services to supply texts that have been threatened with banning in schools, such as Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye.
Book fairs, African American reading mentorship, literacy and STEM classes all take place in the shop as well. Guests can even purchase a subscription to have new books shipped to their doorstep each week.
Abby Eilermann operates Daily Disco (2103 Marconi Avenue), a colorful, custom embroidery shop on the Hill, where she and her crew personalize beanies, jackets, sweatsuits, masks and more.
It works like this: You pick your item, color and styles, and then choose the phrase you want on it.
Personalize with your own name, or anyone's! Baby items, tea towels, customizable patches — they're all available. And if you have no idea what kind of design you're looking for, the crew has lots of suggestions.
Since opening in 2015, the store has partnered with not only individual customers but also brands including Clementine's Naughty & Nice Creamery and LaCroix. However, the shop is temporarily closed, so customers can currently order online (dailydisco.com) and pick up their items curbside.
If you find yourself coveting someone's funky, colorful shirt touting their local neighborhood, they likely got it at STL Stylehouse (3159 Cherokee Street, 314-898-0001). Jeff and Randy Vines, the identical twin owners, started the shop in 2001, and it has been growing in influence ever since.
The enthusiastic employees are immensely helpful, answering questions about customizable T-shirts. Guests can choose from a rack of plain, variously colored T-shirts, and then pick from the designs on the wall — or they can pick a ready-made shirt off a separate rack.
STL-Style has dedicated graphics for each St. Louis neighborhood, and the designs include phrases like "Fo' Choteau," "High school? Don't ask, don't tell," and "My way or Kingshighway."
The store also offers prints, magnets, books and other accessories that let the world know you're from the Lou — and you're proud.

On Monday, President Joe Biden unveiled his proposal for the next federal budget.
Though Congress has the final say in the annual budget, presidents create a proposal highlighting their fiscal priorities. Then, the president typically spends time advocating for their plan to the public, arguing for those priorities.
While promoting his latest proposal, Biden tweeted, “This year, my administration is on track to cut the deficit by more than $1.3 trillion… that would be the largest one-year reduction in the deficit in U.S. history.”
THE QUESTION
Would a $1.3 trillion reduction in the deficit be the largest single-year reduction ever?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, if the deficit shrinks by $1.3 trillion this year, that will be the largest single-year reduction in history.
WHAT WE FOUND
Both the Federal Reserve and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) track how much money the federal government takes in each year, and how much it spends. The Fed has records dating back to 1901, and the CBO dating to 1962.
If the government makes more than it spends, there’s a budget surplus. Since 1962, there have only been five years with a surplus, and none since 2001.
More commonly, the government spends more than it takes in. That’s a deficit, and it results in the U.S. borrowing money to make up the difference, which in turn adds to the federal debt.
According to the Fed and the CBO, the year in which the deficit shrank the most was 2013. In 2012, the budget was nearly $1.08 trillion in the hole, and in 2013, it was just under $679.8 billion. The deficit decreased by roughly $396.8 billion, more than in any other year in history.
If the deficit drops by $1.3 trillion in 2022 like Biden projected, it would indeed be the largest deficit reduction in American history, by a big margin.
The Fed and CBO track numbers on a fiscal-year basis, with the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30. So we won’t really know if Biden’s projections for 2022 are accurate until at least October.
But budget experts VERIFY spoke with agreed it’s likely the deficit reduction could wind up being more than a trillion dollars. However, they said that drop is mostly due to COVID-related spending programs expiring.
“It's not really due to any particularly aggressive policy action to, say, raise more revenue than we would have otherwise, or spend less. It's mostly just a factor of temporary things,” said Alex Muresianu, a federal policy analyst for the Tax Foundation.
“We had deficits that were over $3 trillion [in 2020], and one that was $2.8 trillion [in 2021]. That was as a result of a huge recession, and trillions of dollars that we were spending to fight COVID. So we will be dropping for sure. The deficit will be closer to a trillion dollars this year,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a non-profit group. “But that doesn't come from policies to reduce the deficit.”
More from VERIFY: No, Congress members did not give themselves a 21% pay raise in 2022

Imagine what it would be like if every car in Canada were to careen uncontrollably down a mountain, through a narrow corridor and into the ocean.
That’s approximately what the mass of rock that fell into Elliot Lake, turning a small creek above Bute Inlet into a raging torrent, equated to, according to a new report from researchers on the November 2020 Bute Inlet landslide. According to the paper, roughly 18 million cubic metres of rock descended 1,000 metres into a glacial lake at the head of Elliot Creek in the traditional territory of the Homalco First Nation north of Campbell River on the B.C. mainland coast. The landslide had a mass of 50 million tonnes — equal to the combined mass of every car in the country — and caused a 100 metre Tsunami in a small lake, and sent pretty much everything down the valley to the ocean.
“We expect large events to happen from time to time in areas like that. What’s a little bit unusual though, is the magnitude of the wave. We have seen it in other places too, but I think this is the largest wave we’ve seen in B.C. We haven’t witnessed or seen the effects of anything that has been more than 100 metres high,” said Marten Geertsema, a researcher with the Ministry of Forests. “What’s really remarkable is if you think about that small valley, you wouldn’t be able to outrun this. We lost four million cubic metres of material in that creek in about ten minutes. It eroded to a depth of about 50 metres below the creek bed in a few places. It’s hard to imagine that water power.”
Researchers were quick to head into the valley and collect as much data as possible. Over the past year, they have been compiling and analyzing that data and have recently published their findings.

Researchers see learning opportunity as ‘silver lining’ of Bute Inlet slide
Part of Geertsema’s research is the effects of climate change on natural hazards. Some of the modelling data presented in the paper can be used to help people prepare for the effects of climate change, particularly as rock slides and rock avalanches tend to increase in the mountains as the glaciers that had formerly held the rocks in place melt away.
“We see an increase in rock slides in mountain areas, mainly in under two situations. One is when glaciers are receding, so they’re often on the walls above those glaciers or in the area of those glaciers. The other area is where we have mountain permafrost degradation,” Geerstema said. “We’re doing research in that area right now. We’re exploring, especially these areas where we think landslides could be more likely to increase — along the glacier margins. We’re looking for these kinds of deformations that may give us an indication that slopes may be ready to fail.”
As glaciers melt, they reveal lakes like Elliot Lake that were once hidden beneath ice. The report shows evidence of a similar rockfall in the same area, but since the lake was covered by the glacier at the time there was no catastrophic outburst flood.
“An older landslide scar that is visible in aerial photography reveals that a landslide occurred from the same location before the 1950s,” the report says. “The older landslide likely ran across the glacier before Elliot Lake formed and thus the catastrophic flood experienced during the recent event could not have occurred.”
Over the past hundred years, over 1,000 similar glacial lake outbursts have been recorded around the world, and over 12,500 people have died as a result. In 2017, an outburst flood in Greenland killed four and washed away most of the fishing village of Nuugaatsiaq.
In Canada, most of the events have been in remote areas that have not caused any injury to people, however, the researchers note that “there is no assurance that this will be true in the future, given increased development and tourism in these formerly remote areas.”
LiDAR data compiled by the Hakai Institute has allowed researchers to do modelling of the slopes, which can be used to indicate dangerous areas in the mountains.
“It was really fortunate that we got LiDAR from before the event and then after,” Geertsema said. “That LiDAR was provided by the Hakai Institute, so we’re pretty grateful to them.”
The Southern Coast Mountains of Western Canada has over 8,000 square kilometres of glacier-covered terrain, and it is seeing some of the fastest glacial loss rates in the world.

Funeral held for two Palestinians killed in West Bank raid
Thousands of individuals gathered in Jenin on Thursday to mourn the loss of life of 17-year-old Sanad Abu Atiyeh and 23-year-old Yazid al-Saadi who have been killed throughout an Israeli raid within the West Bank.
Earlier on Thursday, Israeli forces raided a refugee camp within the occupied West Bank, setting off a gun battle by which two Palestinians have been killed and 15 have been wounded, the Palestinian Health Ministry stated.
Mourners react through the funeral of Palestinian Yazid Al Saadi who, in keeping with medics, was killed by Israeli forces throughout clashes in a raid, in Jenin within the Israeli- occupied West Bank, March 31, 2022. (Reuters)
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
The raid got here two days after a Palestinian from a village close to Jenin shot and killed 5 folks in central Israel, a part of a wave of assaults in latest days which have left a complete of 11 folks lifeless.
The Israeli army stated troops got here underneath hearth after getting into Jenin to arrest suspects.
It stated one soldier was wounded and evacuated to a hospital for therapy.
The Jenin refugee camp was the scene of one of many deadliest battles of the second Palestinian intifada, or rebellion.
In April 2002, Israeli forces fought Palestinian militants within the camp for almost three weeks. Twenty-three Israeli troopers and not less than 52 Palestinians, together with civilians, have been killed, in keeping with the UN.
The Palestinian Authority, which administers components of the occupied West Bank and coordinates with Israel on safety issues, seems to have had little management over Jenin lately.
Israeli forces working in and across the metropolis and refugee camp usually come underneath hearth.
Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian leaders have held a flurry of conferences in latest weeks, and Israel has introduced a collection of goodwill gestures, in an effort to take care of calm forward of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins this weekend.
They hope to keep away from a repeat of final 12 months, when clashes in Jerusalem set off an 11-day Gaza struggle, however the latest assaults have despatched tensions hovering.

TUKWILA, Wash. — The Seattle Sounders will be as close to full strength as they’ve been in at least a month when they take the field against Minnesota United on Saturday. That doesn’t necessarily mean Brian Schmetzer will be able to field his first-choice starting XI, however.
Presumed starters Xavier Arreaga, Cristian Roldan, Jordan Morris and Nouhou will have, at most, one day of training with the team after rejoining the group from international duty. Of those four, Arreaga and Roldan are the most likely to be able to jump into the starting lineup as neither played while they were away with Ecuador and the United States, respectively.
It’s also unclear how Schmetzer will go about re-integrating the likes of Raúl Ruidíaz, Nicolas Lodeiro and Jimmy Medranda back into the team. All three have been full training participants this week and traveled, but might not be quite ready to start two games in quick succession. The Sounders might want to opt to save their legs for Wednesday’s Concacaf Champions League semifinal match against New York City FC.
One player who definitely won’t be available for either of those games is Yeimar. The centerback hasn’t played since coming out of the March 12 game against the LA Galaxy. Initially, Schmetzer called the decision “precautionary” but the team has since learned that it was a “high-ankle sprain.”
“Those high ankle sprains are tricky,” Schmetzer said at Thursday’s training. “What I’ll tell you is with muscular injuries, there’s a whole program. But as soon as they can he can put a bunch of tape on it and run around and be effective, that’s the measure for those ankle sprains.
“If he can strap himself up and play, he’ll be back as soon as the pain allows.”
Vargas scores for U20s
Another player who just rejoined the team and might be able to slide right back into the starting group is Obed Vargas, who had been with the United States U20s in Argentina. Vargas, who was the youngest player in camp, played 90 minutes in a match against Argentina’s U20 team and came off the bench to play 30 minutes in a 5-3 win against River Plate in which the USA erased a 3-0 deficit. Vargas even scored a goal in that game, apparently redirecting a ball off a corner.
“There was controversy on the goal, but he says he got to it last,” Schmetzer said half-jokingly.
Stumping for his guys
Although Morris didn’t start in any of the recent World Cup qualifiers, he did at least play all three matches. Roldan, on the other hand, made the gameday roster but never saw the field. That seemingly leaves his spot on the final World Cup roster a bit more in question.
Schmetzer made it very clear he hopes that both players make the squad, but made it clear he has limited capacity to actually affect Gregg Berhalter’s decision.
“I have no control,” he said. “We’re going to do what we do. We have a good process, a great team, we’re going to try to win against Minnesota, try to advance in Champions League, we’ll let our play dictate what you guys think about our team, what Gregg thinks about our team and players, we’ll do our talking on the field.”

Manchester United will welcome Leicester will face each other at Old Trafford in Manchester in the 31st round of the 2021-22 Premier League season on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 12:30 PM (ET). Here, you will find the expected lineups of both teams that will appear in this Matchday 31 soccer game of the English Premier League. You can watch the game on DAZN in Canada.
This will be their 32nd EPL meeting. No surprises here as Manchester United have been the absolute favorites in head-to-head duels, having triumphed on 19 occasions so far; Leicester City have celebrated a victory four times to this day, and the remaining eight matches have ended in a draw so far.
Their most recent game was played on October 16, 2021, when the Foxes snatched a thrilling 4-2 win at home, at the King Power Stadium in Leicester. It promises to be an even more exciting clash as they meet for the second time in the 2021/2022 Premier League season.
Manchester United probable lineup
Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba are likely to be fine after picking up minor foot ailments while on international duty with France. Diego Dalot should keep Aaron Wan-Bissaka out of England's starting XI, although Luke Shaw might return to the left-back spot.
Edinson Cavani's calf injury during Uruguay's World Cup qualifier on Tuesday is anticipated to keep him out of the Saturday clash.
Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford who missed England's two International Friendlies might start here, as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes are expected to lead the line.
Manchester United possible starting XI:
De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo.
Leicester probable lineup
Wilfred Ndidi is Leicester's most notable absentee. Because of the knee injury he sustained in Nigeria's World Cup Qualifying clash against Ghana, midfielder Victor Moses has been ruled out for the remainder of the season by manager Brendan Rodgers.
There is no timetable for the return of Ryan Bertrand and Danny Ward, but Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton might be returning soon, according to Brendan Rodgers' most recent news conference. Danny Ward and Ryan Bertrand have been ruled out of the game because of injuries. Iheanacho might be replaced by Patson Daka in the attack, although Maddison and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are expected to start.
Leicester possible starting XI:
Schmeichel; Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu; Justin, Dewsbury-Hall, Tielemans, Castagne; Maddison, Daka, Barnes.

House Democrats take aim at corporate greed during inflation hearing
House Democrats on Tuesday blamed corporate greed, market concentration and Wall Street investor pressure for contributing to rising prices during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on inflation.
The committee’s Democrats and Republicans traded blame over the root causes of the worst inflation the U.S. has seen in four decades as the price of gas, food, housing, cars and common household goods has skyrocketed.
“Right now, we’re seeing big corporations take advantage of economic conditions and a lack of real competition to pass higher prices onto consumers simply because they can,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), the committee’s chairwoman.
Several Democrats and committee witnesses cited the highest corporate profit margins in 70 years and earnings calls where executives said customers were more willing to accept price hikes due to the current inflationary environment.
They referred to January remarks from a Constellation Brands executive who told investors that the company wants to “make sure that we’re not leaving any pricing on the table. We want to take as much as we can.” They quoted a Proctor and Gamble executive who said that the company sees “a lower reaction from the consumer in terms of price elasticity than what we would have seen in the past.”
Consumer prices rose 7.5 percent over the last 12 months ending in January, the fastest year-over-year pace since 1982. Economists largely blame the supply and demand issues stemming from the pandemic while also pointing to specific events that have led to supply shortages, such as the global chip shortage in the auto industry.
Democrats’ witnesses on Tuesday said that investors are pushing companies to raise prices so they don’t leave any profits on the table. They also argued that because mega-corporations don’t face enough competition, they are free to hike prices without facing consumer backlash.
“The concern here is that the investor scaffolding that undergirds our entire economy will keep prices elevated for a longer period of time and allow these huge companies to get rich while all of us pay the price,” Rakeen Mabud, chief economist and managing director of policy and research at the progressive Groundwork Collaborative, told lawmakers.
Rep. Cindy Axne (D-Iowa) blamed Wall Street investors for pushing oil companies to execute stock buybacks rather than invest in increased production as U.S. gas prices hit an all-time high.
“This is my big concern, that working Americans are suffering as more money is being put in shareholder pockets,” Axne said. “This is while company after company is reporting record free cash flows. Those calls for more oil production shouldn’t be coming to Washington, they absolutely need to be going to Wall Street.”
Those inflation talking points drew intense pushback from Republican lawmakers, who said that trillions of dollars in fiscal stimulus, including direct checks to Americans, led to excess demand that could not keep up with pandemic-induced supply shortages, leading to higher prices.
“Democrats’ reckless fiscal agenda fueled a spending spree right at the moment our supply logistics were under the most strain,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), the committee’s ranking member. “Supply issues are the product of excessive demand that happens by default after a huge government cash dump like the American Rescue Plan.”
Republicans cast the Democratic talking points as an attempt to deflect blame and win back voters who are struggling to keep up with inflation.
Economists have warned that inflation could get worse amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which will cause ripple effects throughout the global economy. President Biden announced a ban on Russian oil imports Tuesday and warned that it will lead to even higher gas prices.

Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has agreed to appear at a deposition in Connecticut to answer questions in a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
That's according to new court filings by his lawyers on Thursday, which comes a day after a judge ordered fines against Jones for defying orders to attend a deposition last week despite his claim of illness.
Jones now says he can answer questions on April 11 and is asking the judge to put a hold on the fines. There was no immediate ruling on Jones' requests. The families are suing him for calling the school massacre a hoax.
Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis said, “The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant Alex Jones willfully and in bad faith violated without justification several clear court orders requiring his attendance at his depositions on March 23 and March 24.”
Judge Bellis said in the decision on Wednesday, “It is clear…that the plaintiffs here simply want and are entitled to the deposition of Mr. Jones and that Mr. Jones has continued to attempt to deliberately disregard the court’s orders and attempts to manipulate the court process.”
“While paying the fees and court’s costs will reimburse the plaintiffs for costs incurred in attempting to procure Mr. Jones’ deposition, it is not a substitution for his testimony,” she said.

Sun, sleet and low temperatures forecast for first day of April
Sun, sleet and single figure temperatures have been forecast for much of the UK on the first day of April.
North-eastern areas will be the worst hit by the wintry weather, and the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice during the early morning – including rush hour.
The warning – which covers north-east England, east Scotland and the Shetland Islands until 10am – means frosty surfaces could cause injuries from slips and falls, as well as travel disruption.
A separate yellow warning for snow and ice also covers a small pocket of south-east England until 10am.
Rain showers broken by intermittent patches of wintry sunshine are forecast for much of the rest of the UK.
The Environment Agency has issued two flood warnings and one flood alert for areas along the River Thames.
Flooding is “expected” at Coalhouse Point on the river in Essex, and is “possible” in the areas between Putney Bridge and Teddington Weir in west London.
After the mercury drops below freezing overnight across the UK, temperatures are forecast to reach highs of 7C and 8C across the UK on Friday and Saturday, increasing to 9C and 10C on Sunday.
In Canterbury, snow saw a county cricket warm-up match between Lancashire and Kent suspended and then cancelled on Thursday.
This follows last week’s sunshine when the mercury hit 20C in some places.
