(The Hill) — The House is set to pass legislation on Friday to legalize marijuana nationwide, an effort that has unprecedented levels of support in both chambers of Congress.
The bill is likely to pass the lower chamber largely along party lines, with most Republicans expected to oppose it.
Proponents argue that legalizing marijuana at the federal level will simply reflect most states’ existing policies that allow it in some form.
They also frame the effort as a way to end the disproportionate punishment of racial minorities and people in low-income communities for possessing and using weed.
And with an overwhelming majority of Americans — as much as 91 percent in a Pew Research Poll last year — backing marijuana legalization for at least medical purposes, Democrats believe it’s a winning issue for them ahead of November’s midterms.
“This landmark legislation is one of the most important criminal justice reform bills in recent history: delivering justice for those harmed by the brutal, unfair consequences of criminalization; opening the doors of opportunity for all to participate in this rapidly growing industry; and decriminalizing cannabis at the federal level so we do not repeat the grave mistakes of our past,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on the House floor on Thursday.
The bill, titled the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, would eliminate criminal penalties associated with the drug and establish a process to expunge previous convictions from people’s criminal records.
It would further impose a federal tax on marijuana sales to fund programs meant to help communities negatively impacted by so-called “war on drugs” policies beginning in the 1970s.
Friday’s vote will mark the second time that House Democrats have advanced legislation to decriminalize marijuana, after previously passing the measure in December 2020.
But the last effort didn’t gain any traction in the Senate, which was controlled by Republicans at the time.
But now, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has said that marijuana legalization is a top priority, and he has been working with fellow Democrats to unveil a bill this spring.
It’s not yet clear, however, if enough Senate Republicans, or even all Democrats, would get on board for the bill to clear a filibuster.
Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), whose states have been ravaged by the opioid epidemic, have both expressed skepticism about broadly legalizing marijuana.
Republicans opposed to the legislation say legalization would do more harm than good.
Rep. Pete Stauber (R-Minn.), a former police officer, recalled having to make “devastating” visits to inform people that their family members had died in accidents resulting from drivers who were under the influence of drugs. He warned that legalizing weed could lead to an increase in people driving while high.
“We can all sit here and pretend that marijuana is a harmless drug, but it is not. It clouds your judgment and inhibits your reaction time,” Stauber said.
A smaller number of Republicans support legalizing marijuana.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has introduced her own bill to legalize cannabis products. But it currently only has three GOP cosponsors: Reps. Brian Mast (Fla.), Tom McClintock (Calif.) and Peter Meijer (Mich.).
Mace’s proposal would set an age limit of 21 for cannabis use. It would also impose a smaller tax on marijuana sales — 3 percent — than the bill Democrats are bringing to the House floor and establish a 10-year moratorium on any tax increases.
The Democratic bill would first establish a 5 percent tax that would gradually increase to 8 percent over five years.
At least 18 states, two territories and the District of Columbia allow cannabis for adult, nonmedical use, according to the National Conference on State Legislatures. More than twice as many states – 37 – allow pot for medical use.
“Americans have made their support for cannabis legalization abundantly clear, and states across the country have taken the lead on cannabis legalization. Now it is time for Congress to take action and finally put an end to the failed policy of prohibition,” said Toi Hutchinson, president and CEO of the Marijuana Policy Project, an advocacy group.
Before final passage on Friday, the House will consider amendments from two centrist Democrats, Reps. Conor Lamb (Pa.) and Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), to study the impact of marijuana legalization on workplaces and schools, as well as the methods that law enforcement can use to determine whether a driver is impaired by weed.
Another amendment up for debate from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) would clarify that people could not be denied security clearances because of cannabis use.
While Schumer may face an uphill path to securing 60 votes for broad marijuana legalization in the Senate, proponents may have success with more narrow measures.
The Senate passed a bill by unanimous consent last week that would expand scientific and medical research on marijuana and its compounds.
The House has also passed legislation twice in the last year to allow legally operating cannabis businesses to use banking services and credit cards so that they no longer have to be cash-only.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), a co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, predicted that the banking legislation had a shot of securing enough bipartisan support in the Senate to pass.
Unlike the MORE Act, which only won the support of five Republicans in 2020, the measure to allow cannabis businesses to access banking services passed in the House passed handily by a vote of 321-101 just under a year ago.
“We have, I think, probably in the low 60s in the Senate,” Blumenauer said.

Federal government sets new 40 mpg fuel standard for all vehicles sold in U.S. beginning in 2026
DETROIT (AP) - New vehicles sold in the United States will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026 under new rules unveiled Friday by the government.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump. The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just over 24 miles per gallon in real-world driving.
Agency officials say the requirements are the maximum that the industry can achieve over the time period and will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards.
Trump’s administration rolled back fuel economy requirements so they rose 1.5% per year, which environmental groups said was inadequate to limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change.
But the new standards won’t immediately match those adopted through 2025 under President Barack Obama. NHTSA officials said they will equal the Obama standards by 2025 and slightly exceed them for the 2026 model year.
RELATED: EV battery maker LG plans $1.7B expansion, add 1,200 jobs in Michigan
The Obama-era standards automatically adjusted for changes in the type of vehicles people are buying. When they were enacted in 2012, 51% of new vehicle sales were cars and 49% SUVs and trucks. Last year, 77% of new vehicle sales were SUVs and trucks, which generally are less efficient than cars.
Some environmental groups said the new requirements from NHTSA under President Joe Biden don’t go far enough to fight global warming.
"Climate change has gotten much worse, but these rules only require automakers to reduce gas-guzzling slightly more than they agreed to cut nine years ago," said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Center at the Center for Biological Diversity.
He said the final rule is about 2 mpg short of the strongest alternative that NHTSA considered.
RELATED: Electric Ford F-150 Lightning: Here's how much money it saves over gas
Officials said that under the new standards, owners would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the lifetime of a 2029 model year vehicle. Carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons by 2050 under the standards, the NHTSA said.
The agency did not give figures for how much the standards would increase the cost of vehicles. Auto dealers say more stringent requirements drive up prices and push people out of an already expensive new-car market.

In this week’s edition of ‘At the Box Office’, Julia reviews the new Netflix film, ‘Apollo 10 1/2’. It follows the childhood of director Richard Linklater, who grew up in Houston in the late ’60s — right as the space race was at it’s peak. Julia didn’t mince words with this film, saying there was virtually no plot. “It was not really a movie…It’s images from his past. It’s just a walkthrough nostalgia…but it’s not a story. It’s seriously self-indulgent”.
Since Julia wasn’t a fan of this film, she also took a look at the new HBO Max series, ‘Julia’. It follows the life of famous French chef Julia Child, who taught Americans the art of French cooking on her TV show. This show follows the making of that TV show. Julia Swift says the first two episodes are good, but the third episode is what blew her away. “Brilliant. So good — it’s full of verve and excitement, AND believable female characters!”
You can catch ‘Apollo 10 1/2’ on Netflix now, and ‘Julia’ on HBO Max.

Friendly warning: Do not watch the new HBO Max series Julia on an empty stomach.
You’ll want to savor every sumptuous dish prepared by legendary TV personality and French Chef host Julia Child, grandly and giddily embodied by the wonderful British actress Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax). It also helps to have an appetite for living, because few series are so generous in serving up a heaping platter of pure joy.
“All you have to do is plunge in,” Julia tells her rapt audience in 1963 as she ends her first TV season on Boston’s WGBH and beyond with a celebration of the classic soufflé. “That’s the key not only to the kitchen but to life itself.”
With a light comic flair that only enhances the breathtaking depth of its midlife love story, Julia is a four-course delight, dramatizing with the usual creative liberties her growing pains in the low-budget world of fledgling public TV. Her pioneering experiment in on-camera culinary arts, born of her revolutionary book Mastering the Art of French Cooking, makes Child an unlikely media star with her ungainly frame and high voice, punctuated by sudden barks of laughter as she navigates her primitive set.
Lancashire captures all of Julia’s larger-than-life qualities, the earthy as well as the regal, as she defies skeptics with an unpretentious gusto that charmed and inspired generations of at-home devotees. “One of the advantages of looking like me is that you learn at a young age not to take no for an answer,” she tells her wary bosses at WGBH.
Her ambitious producer Russ Morash (Fran Kranz), who’d rather be making serious civil-rights documentaries, doesn’t see the potential at first, until his underappreciated assistant Alice (Brittany Bradford) — a composite character who’s not only female but Black so doubly invisible — sells The French Chef to other hungry markets. Publishing giant Blanche Knopf (the always-expert Judith Light) thinks Julia’s loyal rising-star editor, Judith (Fiona Glascott, a find from Ireland), is wasting her time on a mere cookbook author.
But Julia has an ace in the hole: her No. 1 fan, husband Paul (the divinely droll David Hyde Pierce), an unhappily retired diplomat who rallies to her mission after initially dismissing television as a fad. Their mutual respect and tender love, tested but later strengthened by her newfound fame, is so warmly depicted that Julia may qualify as the year’s most romantic series. Another plum Frasier alum, Bebe Neuwirth as the Childs’ widowed friend Avis, provides yet more essential moral (and alcoholic) support.
Julia lays on the hero worship a bit thick at times, and the fictional Alice’s romantic and professional subplots seem pasted in from a different series, but who cares when the entree is this tasty? All of her support team is there for Julia when her confidence is shaken late in the series by an encounter with fearsome feminist Betty Friedan. Enter a fellow future PBS icon to assure her that she’s fine just the way she is.
No argument here. Julia feeds the soul to the brim.

In this week’s edition of ‘At the Box Office’, Julia reviews the new Netflix film, ‘Apollo 10 1/2’. It follows the childhood of director Richard Linklater, who grew up in Houston in the late ’60s — right as the space race was at it’s peak. Julia didn’t mince words with this film, saying there was virtually no plot. “It was not really a movie…It’s images from his past. It’s just a walkthrough nostalgia…but it’s not a story. It’s seriously self-indulgent”.
Since Julia wasn’t a fan of this film, she also took a look at the new HBO Max series, ‘Julia’. It follows the life of famous French chef Julia Child, who taught Americans the art of French cooking on her TV show. This show follows the making of that TV show. Julia Swift says the first two episodes are good, but the third episode is what blew her away. “Brilliant. So good — it’s full of verve and excitement, AND believable female characters!”
You can catch ‘Apollo 10 1/2’ on Netflix now, and ‘Julia’ on HBO Max.

Friendly warning: Do not watch the new HBO Max series Julia on an empty stomach.
You’ll want to savor every sumptuous dish prepared by legendary TV personality and French Chef host Julia Child, grandly and giddily embodied by the wonderful British actress Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax). It also helps to have an appetite for living, because few series are so generous in serving up a heaping platter of pure joy.
“All you have to do is plunge in,” Julia tells her rapt audience in 1963 as she ends her first TV season on Boston’s WGBH and beyond with a celebration of the classic soufflé. “That’s the key not only to the kitchen but to life itself.”

Before Julia Child dazzled American audiences with her charm and delicious cooking, the average American kitchen was a dreary place. Child brought innovation to households across the country and joy to every table. It was only a matter of time before the creation of her historic PBS TV show would get the HBO Max treatment with Julia. The show follows Julia as she fights against sexist executives as well as her own self-doubt to create one of the most lasting TV shows of all time. With stars like Sarah Lancashire, David Hyde Pierce, and even a supporting role from Isabella Rossellini; this series has gotten rave reviews. Julia not only makes us fall in love with Child’s joie de vivre but demonstrates the importance of seeing someone like her on TV at a pivotal moment for the women’s liberation movement. For more movies and TV shows that celebrate food and unlikely female heroes, check out this list!
Julie & Julia
While Julia follows Child’s career after she published her very successful cookbook, Julie & Julia shows us how Child went from an amateur chef to a best-selling cookbook author. Directed by Nora Ephron, the film is split into two parts. One follows Julia Child (Meryl Streep) as she moves to France and falls in love with the cuisine, and the other follows Julie Powell (Amy Adams) a failed writer and low-level bureaucrat in New York who becomes inspired when she decides to start a blog as she cooks her way through the Julia Child cookbook. It’s a film about food, love, and how people we have never met can become looming figures in our lives. While Julia tries to show us who this woman was in a greater cultural context, Julie & Julia shows us the symbol she became for many women who looked at their life or their kitchen and saw nothing but a dull existence. This film celebrates the effect Julia had on many and the inspiration she gave to all us everyday American cooks.
The Gilded Age
When Downton Abbey first came out, its creator, Julian Fellowes, was lauded for his ability to dissect the inner workings of older British upper-class life. The Gilded Age shows that he is also perfectly adept at doing the same for America’s own aristocrats. The series tells the story of Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson), a rural girl, who moves to New York after the death of her father. Immediately, she is swept up in a world of rigid social rules, classism, and the war of old money vs. new money. Though the Gilded Age is one of the most interesting periods in American history, we have barely given it the cinematic treatment except for the rare Edith Wharton adaptation. Like Julia, Fellowes gives an underrepresented time and space the attention it deserves accompanied by glamorous costumes and some of the best actors the New York stage has to offer!
The Great British Bake-Off
One of the more striking elements of Julia is the fact that executives were scared to put a woman of a certain age on a cooking show. If they had known the number of viewers that shows like The Great British Bake-Off have with hosts like Mary Berry and Prue Leith, they would have had to bite their tongue. While most American cooking competition shows prize-winning over the joy of creating something, this show is a refreshing alternative. In this show, home bakers compete against each other for the chance to win the title of Britain’s best amateur baker, but still, collaboration is rewarded, and cutthroat behavior is not. What Julia Child did for French cooking, this series has done for baking. The Great British Bake-Off puts the joy back into cooking, and for that reason, it feels like the only true descendant of Child’s legacy.
The Golden Girls
Child’s entrance onto the small screen was not only revolutionary for American kitchens, but it also meant that older women finally had their place as protagonists on television. The Golden Girls was one of the first narrative shows to center stories on older women. This classic series follows four older single women who share a house in Miami. These women aren’t frail and vulnerable, they are feisty, funny, and sexual. These were the first older women on television that didn’t fit neatly into common stereotypes. With legacy-making performances from the likes of Betty White and Bea Arthur, there is no way you won’t enjoy this classic sitcom!
Chocolat
Imagine this: a conservative French town in the middle of Lent. Everything is normal and bleak when all of a sudden Vianne (Juliette Binoche) and her young daughter burst into town to open, of all things, a chocolate shop. Quickly, she turns everyone’s lives upside down, including her own, when she falls for a dashing and dangerous young traveler (Johnny Depp). The only downside about watching Chocolat is that you will have to buy a bag full of chocolate immediately after the first scene. It’s a fun jab at conservative traditions, the gossip that runs through small towns, and those who choose to deny themselves life’s pleasure. Don’t deny yourself. Like Child, Vianne reminds us of the immense pleasures that can be found in a few simple ingredients.
Calendar Girls
This delightful and heartwarming British comedy follows a group of older women as they embark on a journey, not even they could have expected. Based on a true story, Calendar Girls tells the story of a group of women from Yorkshire who decide to produce a nude calendar to raise money for Leukemia research after one of the women, Annie (Julie Walter), loses a husband to the disease. This movie can make you cry and then make you laugh within a matter of seconds. Though many people are against them, and they must even fight their own feelings of incompetence, their achievement marks a turning point for us all and represent a radical act of love. For those who love Julia because of the utter devotion Julia and Paul share for each other, this movie, about the ultimate act of devotion, is one to watch!
Big Night
Recently Stanley Tucci produced his own show, Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, in which he took the world on a food journey through his beloved country. Though, people might not know that he had already made his devotion to food public when he directed and starred in Big Night. Taking place on the Jersey Shore in the 1950s, two Italian brothers, a chef and a businessman, must do whatever it takes to impress a famous American-Italian singer and save their failing restaurant. In the face of their American Dream ending, they know they can take solace in one thing: their own food. Tucci crafts an intimate, realistic, but never bleak story, about the price of dreams, and the beauty found in an ordinary kitchen. If you love Julia, but prefer to see more spaghetti and meatballs and less boeuf bourguignon, watch this classic of Italian-American cinema.

Russia: Push to pay for gas in rubles not disrupting supply
BERLIN (AP) — Russian officials say their demand that natural gas be paid for in rubles doesn’t mean supplies will be immediately interrupted. Gas used for heating and electricity is still flowing from Russia to Europe on Friday. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says “payments on shipments in progress right now must be made not this very day, but somewhere in late April, or even early May.” But a decree he signed says countries could pay foreign currency to Gazprombank, which would convert the money into rubles in a second account to pay for the gas. It gave Russian authorities and the bank 10 days to make arrangements.

NEW YORK (AP) — Marjorie Miller, vice president and global enterprise editor at The Associated Press, has been named as the new administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes.
Miller spent 27 years at the Los Angeles Times as a correspondent in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. She was the newspaper’s foreign editor when it won a Pulitzer Prize for Russia coverage and was a finalist for Iraq War coverage.
She joined AP in 2010 as the regional editor for Latin America, where her team produced award-winning coverage of cartel violence. In 2015, she moved to New York to help lead daily news coverage and enterprise. Two years later she became the founding leader of AP’s Global Enterprise Team, overseeing reporting projects in all formats, including work from Yemen that won the 2019 Pulitzer for International Reporting.
Her appointment was announced Thursday by the Pulitzer Prize Board and by Lee C. Bollinger, president of Columbia University, which hosts the prestigious journalism awards.
“I cannot think of a better steward for the Pulitzer Prizes, which celebrate excellence in journalism, arts, and letters and recognize the powerful, public service role they play in promoting tolerance, advancing the search for truth, and protecting the free exchange of information and ideas,” Bollinger said.
Miller succeeds acting administrator Edward Kliment, who will stay on as Miller’s deputy. She begins her new role on April 11.

Canton police deploy Spidr Tech, new technology to connect with crime victims
CANTON – Dial 911 and you've done your duty.
You've reported a crime, accident or some other incident that requires the attention of authorities.
Then you're left to wonder what happened next, maybe even scouring online news sites and social media pages in search of a clue.
You can stop pondering in Canton.
Police on Thursday began using a technology designed to improve transparency and build the public's trust: Spidr Tech. The Arizona-based Spidr Tech offers software allowing police to send automated text messages and emails to update residents on the incidents they report.
The messages include online links to the report filed and provide updates as the investigation progresses. The system — designed to keep crime victims informed — also sends a survey seeking feedback on how police did their jobs.
"We want to know how we're doing and what we can be doing better," said police Capt. John Gabbard, who will become chief with Chief Jack Angelo retires April 15.
Canton police: Canton police chief Jack Angelo says goodbye after 33 years on the force
Who else is using Spidr Tech?
Spidr Tech, which began operating in 2016, created the software now used by 75 departments nationwide, said Mandy Smith, company vice president of revenue.
Canton is the only department in Ohio to use it so far. The Spidr Tech program in Canton was paid for by a $40,000 federal grant.
Police Capt. Lisa Broucker said the grant covers one year of service.
"One of the Canton Police Department’s guiding principles is to be a progressive, proactive organization, dedicated to serving the needs of the community. We are proud to work with Canton PD, our first partner in Ohio, to help them do exactly that," said Rahul Sidhu, Spidr Tech president.
Police in Largo, Florida, launched the Spidr Tech program a year ago.
"The police department is satisfied with it," said Megan Santo, public information coordinator for the Largo Police Department. "The public does respond to the surveys, which is helpful for the department. It's something that we get in real time."
How does Spidr Tech work?
When someone reports a crime via cellphone or has a cellphone number to which police may respond, that person receives automated updates by text. Those messages include links to reports and other pertinent information.
Spidr Tech also can send a text apologizing if there's a delay in police responding to the scene.
The technology also provides updates for victims on criminal investigations through text or email.
Some crimes, though, such as homicides and sexual assaults, involve information that is too sensitive to be addressed by text message.
The technology is expected to be used often in Canton. Authorities estimate that 80% of all local 911 calls come from a cellphone.
Callers dialed 911 dispatchers 76,259 times last year, 23% more calls than the year before, according to police records. Officers also responded to 15,064 incidents, an increase of nearly 9% over the previous year.
Residents can choose not to receive the updates and the surveys.
But police are hoping citizens won't opt out.
"The surveys are just one way we can reach out to the community to find out how well we are performing in our job," Gabbard said.

2022-04-07 19:57:44+00:00

The Bend Police Department plans to launch a new tool to improve the 911 calling experience for users.
The so-called ‘SPIDR’ tech platform will allow Bend PD to send automated follow-up text and email messages to those calling 911 or the non-emergency number to request police services.
It will also allow them to provide pertinent information to callers and receive feedback about each caller’s experience with the department through an electronic survey.
Additionally, callers will receive an update if there are any delays in response from police.
The messages and survey will have English and Spanish options, and the department will use the survey results to improve their services in the future.
“I am excited for this new tool to help us increase the sharing of essential information with our community who requests our service through 911,” said Chief Mike Krantz. “One of our City Council goals is to increase the efficiency and transparency of City operations through the use of technology, data, and long-term planning.
“SPIDR Tech will assist us in our ability to stay connected with our community and continue to provide transparency and efficient, high-quality customer service.”
The new tool comes after a Portland State University conducted a bi-annual community survey last year within Bend PD, which found the department needed a better process to follow up and disperse information to callers.
The SPIDR program will officially start on Monday, April 11.
In the future, Bend PD hopes to implement another process through SPIDR that will notify crime victims about the specifics of their case, such as dates and times of reports, case numbers, whether an investigator has been assigned, and any next steps a victim should complete.
The platform would gather relevant data when reports are submitted and send the victim an email or text message with the follow-up information.
The Bend Police Department is the first agency in Oregon to use this innovative technology. SPIDR Tech is used in 62 agencies throughout the country.
SPIDR Tech was founded by former law enforcement officers to help law enforcement agencies leverage their own data to improve public perception and increase efficiency by providing excellent customer service.
SPIDR Tech designed and built the world’s first comprehensive customer service infrastructure for law enforcement with the goal of improving communication and transparency between the community and their police agencies.

2022-09-08 00:22:01+00:00

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — The Battle Creek Police Department will kick off its new messaging system, SPIDR Tech, on Thursday, September 8.
SPIDR Tech sends customized text messages or emails to 911 callers automatically.
It works with the 911/Calhoun County Consolidated Dispatch Authority call system to send updates back to callers about the response to their calls.
Police will use SPIDR Tech messages for crimes including theft, robbery, some types of assault and fraud.
The department will not use it for more sensitive crimes when personal communication is critical.
SPIDR Tech consists of three modules:
- Patrol module: will allow for a more immediate response to 911 callers. Once a 911 call is initiated and captured in BCPD’s computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system, SPIDR Tech will automatically text the caller to acknowledge BCPD received the call, while providing any additional information and resources. Likewise, if police are unable to respond right away, the system can send updates about the delay.
- Insights module: will send a follow-up text message once police clear the call. This will ask for feedback about the police experience with a brief survey. BCPD will use the survey results to learn about the frequency of different types of calls, the overall experience with responding officers and more.
- Investigations module: will allow SPIDR Tech to send updates to crime victims as their case progresses. An initial message will assure that victims understand the next steps in the process and additional messages will make sure they’re notified immediately of updates, including detective assignments and offender arrests.
Thursday’s launch comes after a three-month-long process to bring SPIDR Tech to BCPD.
The department says the new system aims to create greater transparency, gather feedback from the community and provide victims with updates throughout investigations.
Battle creek police say it is just a texting-only number, so you still need to call 911 for emergencies and 269-781-0911 for BCPD’s non-emergency line.
SPIDR Tech will send messages from 269-775-4887.

Which dog harnesses for hiking are best?
There are lots of benefits to harnessing your dog on walks, regardless of your dog’s size or breed. The distribution of pressure is more comfortable for your dog when wearing a harness, plus it helps to prevent excessive strain on the neck for dogs who tend to pull.
If you enjoy taking your dog hiking, a harness can be particularly beneficial. But what’s the difference between a standard dog harness and a dog harness for hiking? There are a few small differences that help go a long way. If you’re looking for a harness that can work hard and hold up over time, the Ruffwear Multiuse Support Dog Harness is durable, reliable and comfortable for both you and your pup.
What to know before you buy a dog harness for hiking
If you do a lot of hiking with your pup, a standard dog harness might not be meeting all of your needs. Harnesses made for hiking and rugged outdoor use can have useful extras like reflective strips or pockets for storage. They are more customized and often include additional features to accommodate any scenario you might encounter out on the trails.
A good fit
The most important thing about a dog harness is getting the fit right. A dog harness for hiking shouldn’t be too tight but it also can’t be loose enough for your dog to wriggle out of it. If you want to check a harness’s tightness, try to stick your hand between the harness and your dog’s body. You know you have a good fit if the harness fits no more than two fingers.
Storage options
Some harnesses come with small pockets while other hiking harnesses double as backpacks so your dog can carry some of their snacks or toys with them as you go. In determining whether you want a saddlebag/backpack harness, consider your dog’s size, age and how much hiking you intend to do together.
Bonus features
Hiking harnesses can have bonus features unique to spending time around rough or rural terrain. They can have strong handles on the back, chest clips for alternative leashing methods or glow strips for better visibility at night. If it’s likely you’ll spend a lot of time out in the early morning or late at night, consider getting a harness that can accommodate a light source.
What to look for in a quality dog harness for hiking
A quality dog harness for hiking perfectly blends comfort, safety and practically. You wouldn’t want to cut a hike short because your own gear isn’t up to the task and it is the same thing when it comes to your dog. A hiking harness is part of your dog’s outdoor gear and should be able to withstand the elements.
A design that conforms to body type
A good harness for hiking is designed specifically for your dog’s body type, whether they be small and stocky or thin and long. The best harness for a large dog might not be the best harness for a small dog. Take into consideration what other users have said about using the harness with a dog the same breed or size as your own.
Rust-resistant

Which dog harnesses for hiking are best?
There are lots of benefits to harnessing your dog on walks, regardless of your dog’s size or breed. The distribution of pressure is more comfortable for your dog when wearing a harness, plus it helps to prevent excessive strain on the neck for dogs who tend to pull.
If you enjoy taking your dog hiking, a harness can be particularly beneficial. But what’s the difference between a standard dog harness and a dog harness for hiking? There are a few small differences that help go a long way. If you’re looking for a harness that can work hard and hold up over time, the Ruffwear Multiuse Support Dog Harness is durable, reliable and comfortable for both you and your pup.
What to know before you buy a dog harness for hiking
If you do a lot of hiking with your pup, a standard dog harness might not be meeting all of your needs. Harnesses made for hiking and rugged outdoor use can have useful extras like reflective strips or pockets for storage. They are more customized and often include additional features to accommodate any scenario you might encounter out on the trails.
A good fit
The most important thing about a dog harness is getting the fit right. A dog harness for hiking shouldn’t be too tight but it also can’t be loose enough for your dog to wriggle out of it. If you want to check a harness’s tightness, try to stick your hand between the harness and your dog’s body. You know you have a good fit if the harness fits no more than two fingers.
Storage options
Some harnesses come with small pockets while other hiking harnesses double as backpacks so your dog can carry some of their snacks or toys with them as you go. In determining whether you want a saddlebag/backpack harness, consider your dog’s size, age and how much hiking you intend to do together.
Bonus features
Hiking harnesses can have bonus features unique to spending time around rough or rural terrain. They can have strong handles on the back, chest clips for alternative leashing methods or glow strips for better visibility at night. If it’s likely you’ll spend a lot of time out in the early morning or late at night, consider getting a harness that can accommodate a light source.
What to look for in a quality dog harness for hiking
A quality dog harness for hiking perfectly blends comfort, safety and practically. You wouldn’t want to cut a hike short because your own gear isn’t up to the task and it is the same thing when it comes to your dog. A hiking harness is part of your dog’s outdoor gear and should be able to withstand the elements.
A design that conforms to body type
A good harness for hiking is designed specifically for your dog’s body type, whether they be small and stocky or thin and long. The best harness for a large dog might not be the best harness for a small dog. Take into consideration what other users have said about using the harness with a dog the same breed or size as your own.
Rust-resistant
The best harnesses hold up against the elements. The metal hardware doesn’t rust when it gets wet and doesn’t corrode quickly over time. All metal pieces are strong, secure and reliable.

Top tips for those in long-distance relationships on how to keep the love alive
Since the start of the pandemic, long-distance relationships have become increasingly common. Whether it be a choice or a consequence of navigating our modern-day world, research has found that more than 90% of people living in the UK and Europe have been in a long-distance relationship.
Therefore, sexual wellness experts at Sinful have compiled some top tips to keep the spark alive between you and your partner, no matter how far the distance.
1. Communicate to feel connected
When in a long-distance relationship, having the right amount of communication so you feel emotionally connected to your partner when you’re unable to be physically with them, is important. However, it is also important not to excessively communicate or communicate too little.
Additionally, the method of communication which you choose to have with your partner will also help you to reinforce your bond. For example, whilst texts are great to send quick updates, opt for phone- and video calls to have some quality time with your loved one.
2. Check in with each other's feelings
Whilst you may be physically apart from your loved one, it is important to check in with each other’s feelings to keep the intimacy alive. Likewise, understanding when your partner needs reassurance and giving it to them will help you both feel loved in your relationship.
3. Go on virtual dates
A great way of spending some quality time with your partner when you are unable to be together physically is through virtual dates. Think of an activity that you both enjoy doing, such as watching your favourite TV show or baking together. Having thoughtful, romantic moments like this will be sure to keep your dates as exciting and engaging as possible.
4. Have a plan of when you're next going to see each other
Knowing when you’re next going to see your loved one is important. Try to organise a date to meet up in person as it will give you both something to look forward to. A great way to keep track of your reunion is to install a countdown app. This allows you to visualise when you’re next going to see each other. After all, they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder!
5. Keep the desire burning
Don’t be afraid to send flirty messages to your loved one. Sexual tension is important in a relationship, so keep the spark alive with some late-night sexting. It’s a great way to both make you feel loved by one another and keep the passion burning.
Ditte Jensen, Sexual Wellness Expert at Sinful, comments on improving sexual satisfaction in long-distance relationships said: “In long-distance relationships, it often requires that extra bit of effort to satisfy our sexual cravings and maintain sexual- and emotional intimacy with our partners.
“By being in touch with our own bodies, we can communicate our needs and preferences better to our partner. This can actually result in heightened sexual fulfilment once couples get the chance to be intimate with their partners face-to-face!”

From a taxpayer-funded council trip to Barbados to Hull's biggest tourist attraction missing a crucial part of the building - people in the city have been played once again this year. With April Fool's Day here, companies have been whipping out their best attempts to catch people out.
If you've spoken any wacky and bizarre stories floating around today, there's a strong chance it may have been a bit of a harmless hoax. April Fool's Day has been celebrated on April 1, for several centuries by different cultures, although its precise origin remains a mystery.
Traditions include spinning false stories or pulling pranks - but the catch is the joke must be revealed after midday. Here are some of the best we've seen in Hull and further afield so far today - including one of our own (did you spot it?)
Read more: Free burgers, anti-avocado app, tartan soap and a box to cry in - happy April 1
Parish councillors to jet off for a holiday in the sun
"We are pleased to announce that Cottingham has today been twinned with Bridgetown, Barbados," Cottingham Parish Council announced on Friday morning. "Our Councillors and staff will now embark on a taxpayer funded 2 week 'fact finding' mission."
It's certainly a far cry from East Yorkshire's indecisive weather this week. But sadly for Cottingham's parish councillors, they won't be enjoying an all-expenses paid trip to the Caribbean.
At a time when energy bills and inflation is soaring, we're sure the good residents of Cottingham will be pretty pleased to see this one was a hoax.
Thieves steal key feature of The Deep's iconic architecture
Fish tanks were left a little exposed after midnight thieves made off with part of The Deep's building facade overnight, the attraction told its social media followers on Friday morning. The aquarium's conic nose was pulled down and stolen piece by piece in the dead of night, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the structure.
"It looks like The Deep's nose cone was stolen during the early hours of the morning," one prankster wrote on the attraction's social media pages. "If anybody has found our nose cone please return it to us as soon as possible. It's very breezy!"
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot the date - paired with the sheer silliness of the story, most were quick to the mark to put two and two together with this one.
Walkers launch new 'giant sandwich crisp'
Walkers said that crisp sandwich lovers would be rejoicing with the launch of its new 'giant bread sized crisp' that has been especially designed for use in sandwiches.
They said the gigantic ‘Bread Shaped Crisp’, which measures an epic 11cm in height, is a totally flat, bread shaped crisp and that the new product came after research by Walkers revealed that nearly all (98%) of the nation agreed that crisps make sandwiches better*.
The launch message said: "The perfectly-sized sandwich companion has been launched to solve a big problem that crisp sandwich fans have been struggling with for years – crisps crumbling up and falling out the sides of their sandwiches and uneven bread coverage. Now, lovers of the lunchtime crisp sandwich can enjoy the delicious crunch of Walkers crisps without having to worry."
World's first holiday home with retractable roof
What could be better than a caravan trip to the Yorkshire coast? One where you can indulge in a bit of star spotting from your caravan, of course.
Hull-based luxury holiday homes company Victory Leisure Homes said its campsites were to trial lodges with retractable roofs to allow tourists to enjoy the beautiful night sky while they sleep - provided they bring their own blankets to stave off the cold night air, of course.
"But you’ll have to get your orders in quickly – it’s only available to purchase on 1 st April," said the company.
Live haggis captured on camera
Once a myth, now no more - explorers from the Scottish Deer Centre announced this morning that they'd become the first in the world to capture a live haggis. The supposed mythical creatures were feared to have been extinct for centuries until a specialist team in the Lomond Hills discovered the cute critter.
The discovery has mystified ecologists who for years believed the animal lived in the Scottish Highlands. And if you believe in the Loch Ness Monster, you'll believe in this one, too.
Police officers to get skateboards
A police force in Wales were quick to get in on the act, with news officers were to be issued with a new form of getting around quicker. South Wales Police tweeted: "We’ve got some wheelie good news: we're the first UK force to be rolling out the use of skateboards.
"The boards will help officers carry out their work – from tackling anti-social behaviour to reassurance patrols and community engagement – on streets, parks, promenades." This was quite literally a case of officers 'aving you if you fell for this one.
One-way traffic introduced on the Humber Bridge
Surprisingly, some of our less sharp-eyed readers actually fell for this one. If you spotted our story about a new one-way system to be brought in on the Humber Bridge one day a week, you can be rest assured this was an April Fool.
Hull Live reported this morning how both carriageways of the iconic bridge would be used to take cars, vans and lorries north or south on alternate Tuesdays. Angry (and entirely fictional) residents expressed their annoyance at the plans, which would force motorists on a 55-mile detour every two weeks.
One south bank farmer, Bill Haystack, said the proposals would leave him "in a right pickle" and having to drive his tractor up and down the M62. The one-way proposal follows other ambitious plans by the Humber Bridge Board, including installing a lift to the top of the towers for tourists and renaming it under a sponsorship deal...

Mark Lane: An April Fools' Day grump explains his stance
People don’t appreciate how the internet has transformed April Fools’ Day. In the online world, every day is April Fools’ Day. Every day.
The only difference is that the daily torrent of falsehoods and concoctions gets unavoidably more torrential that day. And that's just no fun anymore.
In a world less saturated in fakery, the holiday used to be a joshing test of our credulity. It gave amateur satirists a chance to try their skills.
Foolish history:How April Fools' Day started and some pranks that went wrong
For instance, The Daytona Beach Evening News in 1978 ran a pre-Photoshop manipulated photo of a weird-looking horned seal-like beast up on the sand by the Main Street Pier below the headline “Creature crawls ashore.” The accompanying story by John Carter, the esteemed previous columnist in this space, identified it as a rare specimen of Aprillus gullillibus. (Get it!)
The switchboard — yes, there was an actual switchboard with lights then — lit up that day. For years, clips of the April Fools’ article were passed around locally and tacked to barroom walls. Readers wrote to John for more details. It’s in the newspaper, it must be true!
Now, a scarier and far more convincing creature could be whipped up digitally in minutes, posted online, and spread around the world. People would swear by it. Countermeasures would be demanded. Candidates would issue impassioned statements. (Sea monsters used to know their place before Joe Biden became president!) Legislation would be filed. A debunking on Snopes.com would be scoffed at by people who considered themselves truly in the know and not duped by the mainstream media.
Now, in a nation where you can find seemingly normal, productive people who believe the web of bizarre hoaxes that spread under the QAnon umbrella, where an alarming number of people live in a cartoon conspiracyland, it just isn’t funny anymore when you toy with people’s sense of reality by posting something so outrageous as to be obviously untrue. Nothing is too outrageous to be disbelieved online.
Goofy fake internet takes have become weaponized, and there are a surprising number of people out there who have trouble sorting it all out, telling fact from fiction, goof from reality. April Fools' Day doesn't end on April 2.
People used to understand that the space aliens and Bat Boy of the Weekly World News supermarket tabloid were figments of overheated imaginations. (“Bat Boy steals Mini Cooper car for joy ride!”) But in recent years, I’ve had to explain to more than one caller and emailer that The Onion is a humor and parody website — a site where every day is April Fools’ Day — and not a purveyor of objective reality that the corporate media is stubbornly refusing to acknowledge.
Think first:Should you still celebrate April Fools' Day amid coronavirus?
A Fools' Day grump
Those kinds of conversations have turned me into a total April Fools’ Day grump. I dread the holiday.
Now, I see April Fools’ Day as a warning about what happens to people’s sense of reality when they get their news on social media.
I don’t mean to sound like the Information Police here. Yet, I confess that pinning on the Information Police badge is part of what people who report the news and edit and fact-check news stories do. It’s what people who write reported opinion — which is what you are reading here — are hired to do. I hate to rain on the holiday, step on the jokes or spoil the meme. We’re doing our job, that’s all.
And people with different senses of reality hate us for doing that. I know, they write me all the time to tell me.
So happy April Fools’ Day. I’ll celebrate by trying to limit my screen time. Otherwise, consider this a test of your year-round credulity and look at the posting date for everything you see online over the next several weeks.

The launch message said: "The perfectly-sized sandwich companion has been launched to solve a big problem that crisp sandwich fans have been struggling with for years – crisps crumbling up and falling out the sides of their sandwiches and uneven bread coverage. Now, lovers of the lunchtime crisp sandwich can enjoy the delicious crunch of Walkers crisps without having to worry."
World's first holiday home with retractable roof
What could be better than a caravan trip to the Yorkshire coast? One where you can indulge in a bit of star spotting from your caravan, of course.
Hull-based luxury holiday homes company Victory Leisure Homes said its campsites were to trial lodges with retractable roofs to allow tourists to enjoy the beautiful night sky while they sleep - provided they bring their own blankets to stave off the cold night air, of course.
"But you’ll have to get your orders in quickly – it’s only available to purchase on 1 st April," said the company.
Live haggis captured on camera
Once a myth, now no more - explorers from the Scottish Deer Centre announced this morning that they'd become the first in the world to capture a live haggis. The supposed mythical creatures were feared to have been extinct for centuries until a specialist team in the Lomond Hills discovered the cute critter.
The discovery has mystified ecologists who for years believed the animal lived in the Scottish Highlands. And if you believe in the Loch Ness Monster, you'll believe in this one, too.
Police officers to get skateboards
A police force in Wales were quick to get in on the act, with news officers were to be issued with a new form of getting around quicker. South Wales Police tweeted: "We’ve got some wheelie good news: we're the first UK force to be rolling out the use of skateboards.
"The boards will help officers carry out their work – from tackling anti-social behaviour to reassurance patrols and community engagement – on streets, parks, promenades." This was quite literally a case of officers 'aving you if you fell for this one.
One-way traffic introduced on the Humber Bridge
Surprisingly, some of our less sharp-eyed readers actually fell for this one. If you spotted our story about a new one-way system to be brought in on the Humber Bridge one day a week, you can be rest assured this was an April Fool.
Hull Live reported this morning how both carriageways of the iconic bridge would be used to take cars, vans and lorries north or south on alternate Tuesdays. Angry (and entirely fictional) residents expressed their annoyance at the plans, which would force motorists on a 55-mile detour every two weeks.
One south bank farmer, Bill Haystack, said the proposals would leave him "in a right pickle" and having to drive his tractor up and down the M62. The one-way proposal follows other ambitious plans by the Humber Bridge Board, including installing a lift to the top of the towers for tourists and renaming it under a sponsorship deal...

Gilberts: People have been fooled on April 1 for a long time
Did you hear the news?

Did you hear the news? Justin Trudeau has resigned and is asking Vladimir Putin to annex Canada and support his war with Ukraine!

OK, this is not true.
No, this little bit of “fake news” came out of my own sick mind.
But the truth is that it’s just a bit of April Fools’ Day foolery. Once again, we have reached April Fools’ Day and you may ask, “How did this rather bizarre day begin?” Well, the answer is that I don’t know and neither does anyone else, but let me pick out the one that I like best and then give you some of my top picks of April Fools’ Day pranks from the past.
What you may not know is that April Fools’ Day is a very old celebration. One version of its origin, which does make some sense, dates back to 1582 when France switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. People who were slow to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved to Jan. 1 and continued to celebrate it during the last week of March through April 1 became the butt of jokes and hoaxes. Often times, these people were sent on impossible tasks that became known as “‘fools’ errands”.
In the early days of April Fools’ Day celebrations, children in France would pin a paper fish to their friends’ backs and, when the victim found out, the prankster would yell “poisson d’Avril” (April Fish) symbolizing a young, easily caught fish or a gullible person. These kinds of activities spread eventually to England.
As early as 1698, several people heard seemingly reliable reports around town that on April 1 the “lions would be washed at the Tower of London”.
This same prank was resurrected in 1856 when newspaper reports told people that the “lions of the Tower of London” would be washed on April 1 at the White Gate in the Tower.

It fooled even more people than the first hoax
Another of the more famous April Fools’ Days pranks dealt with the Swiss spaghetti harvest to be held in Ticino, Italy on April 1, 1957. People were led to believe that spaghetti in Italy grew on trees and, if you wanted to experience the same thing yourself, you were to “place a strand of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and wait for it to grow”.
A number of people are probably still waiting.
In more recent times, Taco Bell took out a full-page ad telling people that they had purchased, from the City of Philadelphia, the original Liberty Bell and that it was to be known from April 1 onward as “The Taco Liberty Bell”.
This ad was followed by a report that the Lincoln Memorial in Washington had also been purchased by the Ford Motor Company and that it was going to be called “The Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial”.
Needless to say, that caused an uproar.
On March 31, 1989, a large UFO-looking craft passed over London, England, and landed at a stadium outside of the city. When police tentatively and apprehensively approached the strange craft, a small figure dressed in a silver suit emerged. It was later revealed that the controversial and larger-than-life entrepreneur Richard Branson had orchestrated the whole April Fools’ Day hoax using a realistic-looking balloon for the UFO.
A number of my friends in 1985 were all excited about a Sports Illustrated article appearing in the April issue spotlighting a rookie named Sidd Finch, who played for the New York Mets.

Finch was reported to throw a fastball 168 miles per hour. That was 65 miles per hour faster than a pitch had ever been thrown.
I had by coincidence read about this April Fools’ Day hoax and, for the first few people who approached me, I gently explained to them that it was a hoax.
However, after seeing the heartbroken and disbelieving look on their faces, I decided to simply keep my mouth shut and be “amazed.” After all, how could a magazine like Sports Illustrated and a noted writer like George Plimpton ever be expected to fool around with something as serious and sacred as baseball?
I am sure that all of us have had an April Fools’ Day joke pulled on us and, for the most part, I am sure we laughed at our gullible nature and marvelled at our ability to be fooled by what in retrospect was absolutely unbelievable, inconceivable and just plain stupid.
I am just glad I am no longer teaching, and don’t have to anticipate that, as each new class of students comes on that day, I will be subject to some kind of “April Fools’ Day” joke.
Now all I have to deal with is my grandson Harrison who takes a special delight in fooling his gullible old grandfather.

From a taxpayer-funded council trip to Barbados to Hull's biggest tourist attraction missing a crucial part of the building - people in the city have been played once again this year. With April Fool's Day here, companies have been whipping out their best attempts to catch people out.
If you've spoken any wacky and bizarre stories floating around today, there's a strong chance it may have been a bit of a harmless hoax. April Fool's Day has been celebrated on April 1, for several centuries by different cultures, although its precise origin remains a mystery.
Traditions include spinning false stories or pulling pranks - but the catch is the joke must be revealed after midday. Here are some of the best we've seen in Hull and further afield so far today - including one of our own (did you spot it?)

Parish councillors to jet off for a holiday in the sun
"We are pleased to announce that Cottingham has today been twinned with Bridgetown, Barbados," Cottingham Parish Council announced on Friday morning. "Our Councillors and staff will now embark on a taxpayer funded 2 week 'fact finding' mission."
It's certainly a far cry from East Yorkshire's indecisive weather this week. But sadly for Cottingham's parish councillors, they won't be enjoying an all-expenses paid trip to the Caribbean.
At a time when energy bills and inflation is soaring, we're sure the good residents of Cottingham will be pretty pleased to see this one was a hoax.
Thieves steal key feature of The Deep's iconic architecture
Fish tanks were left a little exposed after midnight thieves made off with part of The Deep's building facade overnight, the attraction told its social media followers on Friday morning. The aquarium's conic nose was pulled down and stolen piece by piece in the dead of night, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the structure.
"It looks like The Deep's nose cone was stolen during the early hours of the morning," one prankster wrote on the attraction's social media pages. "If anybody has found our nose cone please return it to us as soon as possible. It's very breezy!"
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot the date - paired with the sheer silliness of the story, most were quick to the mark to put two and two together with this one.
Walkers launch new 'giant sandwich crisp'
Walkers said that crisp sandwich lovers would be rejoicing with the launch of its new 'giant bread sized crisp' that has been especially designed for use in sandwiches.
They said the gigantic ‘Bread Shaped Crisp’, which measures an epic 11cm in height, is a totally flat, bread shaped crisp and that the new product came after research by Walkers revealed that nearly all (98%) of the nation agreed that crisps make sandwiches better*.

Everyone plays way too much. Today is the first of the month, and it is also widely regarded as April Fools’ Day. We will share the silly holiday’s origin and some of our favorite celebrity April Fool’s Day pranks.
There are similar holidays in ancient Rome and Britain, but the eldest historical reference comes from a Flemish poem written in 1561. According to a history of the holiday written by Stephen Wince of the Library of Congress’ American Folklife Center, one nobleman sends his servant on “fool’s errands” on April 1.
According to History.com, some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. In the Julian Calendar, as in the Hindu calendar, the new year began with the spring equinox around April 1. People who didn’t get the news in time or failed to acknowledge the new start of the new year became the butt of jokes and consequently called, “April fools.”
Some pranks included having paper fish placed on their backs and being referred to as “poisson d’avril” (April fish), said to symbolize a young, easily caught fish and a gullible person.
The Catholic Church is also credited for making April Fools’ Day a thing. The religion celebrated a carnival-like “Feast of Fools,” originally held in medieval France and England on Jan. 1. It was practiced but was banned by the 15th century, but the holiday still continued for hundreds of years.
By the 19th century, April Fools’ Day become a mainstay of American culture. So much that celebrities and fans alike celebrate with pregnancy pranks and unlikely changes for the sake of jokes and laughter.
In the spirit of the virtually silly holiday, check out a list of our favorite celebrity pranks on April Fools’ Day below.

Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Mark Kelly urge Biden to boost oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after White House announced plan to try and reverse soaring gas prices
- The two senators want a five-year plan for Gulf oil drilling
- They wrote Biden a day after he announced new oil releases from reserve
- 'Americans are facing record-level gasoline prices every day when they commute to work, drive their children to school and buy groceries'
- Biden on Thursday blamed price hikes on Putin and COVID-19
Two Democratic senators are urging President Joe Biden to initiate a new five-year plan to increase oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in an effort to trim rising gas prices amid concerns over global supply.
They made their pitch in a letter a day after Biden announced his own efforts, including releasing 1 million barrels a day out of the strategic petroleum reserve over the next six months.
'Americans are facing record-level gasoline prices every day when they commute to work, drive their children to school and buy groceries and medicine,' the senators wrote.
'The additional disruptions in the oil market caused by Russia's illegal war in Ukraine could drive prices up even further.'
Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) wrote President Biden asking for a new plan for Gulf of Mexico oil drilling
Manchin is a key Democratic centrist. Kelly is up for reelection this year.
'We support your decision to coordinate a release of crude oil from the emergency reserves of International Energy Agency members but believe more must be done to provide relief to Americans facing rising costs for everything from gas to groceries,' the wrote, in a letter obtained by Fox News.
They call for a new 'five-year plan' to 'establish a schedule of gas sales' in the Gulf. They mention five Gulf states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and west Florida.
They say the plan should be 'flexible' and allow for the 'protection of marine life and the environment' – a nod to the environmental controversy over leaking wells and spills such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010.
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., joined Manchin on the letter to Biden
The senators are seeking a new five-year plan for Gulf oil drilling
Florida is currently subject to an offshore drilling moratorium, which local leaders back in support of the state's beaches and tourism industry.
There are already thousands of drilling operations in the Gulf, which accounts for about 15 per cent of U.S. crude production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Biden also announced plans Thursday meant to accelerate the switch to electric vehicle, as he blamed gas price hikes on the pandemic and Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
He also announced he is using wartime Defense Production Act powers to accelerate the switch to electric cars by producing materials needed for high-capacity batteries. And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced new fuel economy standards that will require new vehicles to get an average of 40 miles per gallon, reversing a Trump administration rollback.

President Joe Biden’s latest moves to try to tamp down surging prices for gasoline were generally met with skepticism here in Wyoming.
The wholesale market for oil also did not react favorably Thursday. One such benchmark, West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures, rose about 1% on the day to $101.29 a barrel (equivalent to about 40 gallons).
Prices have been surging because of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. Consumers have been paying record prices for a gallon of gas — both locally and nationwide.
The AAA motorists club reports that in Wyoming, a gallon of regular unleaded gas costs, on average, $4.12. That’s a fraction of a penny less than its all-time high reached Tuesday.
In a fact sheet about Biden’s “Plan to Respond to (Russia President Vladimir) Putin’s Price Hike at the Pump,” the White House noted that since the invasion of Ukraine, “gas prices have increased by nearly a dollar per gallon. Because of Putin’s war of choice, less oil is getting to market, and the reduction in supply is raising prices at the pump for Americans. President Biden is committed to doing everything in his power to help American families who are paying more.”
Under plans announced by the White House Thursday, the U.S. will release a record amount of oil from its gas reserve.
The Biden administration also wants to try to increase pressure on the energy industry to actually produce oil by not letting sites where drilling could occur instead lie fallow.
Experts told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle that releasing supplies from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as Biden envisions, could soon help to slightly reduce the price at the pump that drivers pay. But it won’t be a panacea.
And the oil industry, which the administration contends is not doing enough to increase production, disagreed with this allegation Biden’s new plan has a few aspects to it.
“The first part of the president’s plan is to immediately increase supply by doing everything we can to encourage domestic production now and through a historic release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to serve as a bridge to greater supply in the months ahead,” the White House said.
Some 1 million barrels will enter the market a day on average for six months. As the American Petroleum Institute observed in Washington, that would be a release of 180 million barrels.
Among other actions, the White House said Biden is asking Congress to make “companies pay fees on wells from their leases that they haven’t used in years and on acres of public lands that they are hoarding without producing.”
Biden also issued a new directive OK’ing using the Defense Production Act of 1950 to boost American production of products that can help reduce emissions of pollutants into the air. The goal is to “secure the supply of such materials through environmentally responsible domestic mining and processing; recycling and reuse; and recovery from unconventional and secondary sources, such as mine waste.”
This includes initiatives toward “sustainable and responsible domestic mining, beneficiation, and value-added processing of strategic and critical materials for the production of large-capacity batteries for the automotive, e-mobility and stationary storage sectors.”
The administration had pointed words for some in the energy industry, drawing some rebukes from that sector.
In the fact sheet about the oil actions, it was alleged that “too many companies aren’t doing their part and are choosing to make extraordinary profits and without making additional investment to help with supply.” Biden would like “companies that continue to sit on non-producing acres” to “have to choose whether to start producing or pay a fee for each idled well and unused acre.”
This could involve federal land on which energy companies get leases to extract natural resources, paying for that right when their bid in a government auction is successful.
“Right now, the oil and gas industry is sitting on more than 12 million acres of non-producing federal land, with 9,000 unused, but already-approved permits for production,” the document observed.
The reality in Wyoming, and indeed nationally, does not reflect the administration’s comments, industry associations responded.
Nationwide, some two-thirds of such federal land leases are currently being drilled or production is occurring there, estimated the Petroleum Association of Wyoming’s Ryan McConnaughey.
In Wyoming, some 60% of such land is considered productive, he added.
A company leasing such property must begin drilling within 10 years, or it could lose the rights to that land if the lease is not renewed, according to McConnaughey, the association’s vice president and director of communications.
In addition to paying for such usage rights at auction, winning bidders must pay rental fees on the land, he said. Once production begins, the energy firm must pay a royalty, he noted.
The White House’s announcement “is just the Biden administration trying to make it look like they’re doing something” on gas prices, “rather than tackling the root causes, which is a failure to incentivize production here in the U.S.,” McConnaughey said. “It really does nothing to address the long term causes.”
While the latest federal actions won’t drive down gas prices to where they were pre-invasion of Ukraine, experts do think they will help somewhat.
“The assumption is that it will decrease prices,” wrote AAA spokesperson Aldo Vazquez. Should the U.S. oil releases occur for the full six months mentioned by the administration, “the market would likely see downward pressure on oil prices,” AAA reported. “However, the global oil market remains highly volatile, so additional news that threatens supply could put upward pressure on oil prices.”
Here in Wyoming, AAA said that prices at the pump rose an average of 5 cents per gallon in the past week, among the biggest such increases in all U.S. states.
Should wholesale prices decline, it will take longer for what motorists pay at gas stations to also fall.
“It will take time for those lower prices to make it to retail, but it could start as early as this weekend,” wrote Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at gas research firm GasBuddy, in an email to the WTE. “If nothing changes with all the factors going into oil, we could see a slide of 10-25 cents per gallon” at the pump.
U.S. Sen John Barrasso, R-Wyo., echoed others when he said that “releasing more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve doesn’t produce one more barrel of American oil.”
He said that the Biden administration “has spent the last 14 months making it more difficult to produce and move American oil and natural gas. He needs to reverse course.”
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., thinks “there is a very clear solution to rising gas prices – America needs to unleash our domestic energy production,” she said in a statement to the WTE. “In Wyoming and across the country, we have the resources and capabilities to increase production so we can regain American energy independence, provide crucial resources for our allies around the world, and reduce gas prices and energy costs hardworking families are facing.”
While planning to release oil from the U.S. reserve “may provide some short-term relief, it is far from a long-term solution to the economic pain Americans are feeling at the pump,” said API CEO Mike Sommers.
The trade group reported that “the percentage of producing leases is at a two-decade high.” But there are “nearly 5,000 permits awaiting approval from the administration and thousands more tied up in litigation.”
API said its analysis showed that in the first 14 months of the Obama administration, the Department of the Interior had held 47 federal lease sales. At the same point in the Biden administration, there has been “only a single lease sale,” which “was later invalidated.”

The Biden administration is reportedly giving equal consideration to plans that would open up zero, some, or all 11 possible offshore oil and gas drilling sales across the United States.
According to the Department of Interior's July oil and gas leasing proposals, an area within Alaska's Cook Inlet and up to 10 sales in the Gulf of Mexico are still up for consideration.
The news comes one day after an offshore drilling plan established by the administration of former President Barack Obama expired and the cancellation of a planned lease sale in Cook Inlet earlier this year, The Hill reported.
Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said in a statement that he was pleased with the department considering the increase in leases but disappointed that it would not consider any new leasing.
"Our leasing programs are a critical component of American energy security," Manchin said, according to E&E News.
"I hope the Administration will ultimately greenlight a plan that will expand domestic energy production, done in the cleanest way possible, while also taking the necessary steps to get our offshore leasing program back on track to give the necessary market signals to provide price relief for every American."
The news comes as gas prices near around $4.84 per gallon nationwide, and up to $6.27 in California, according to data from AAA.
President Joe Biden told reporters at a NATO summit on Thursday that he would not ask Saudi Arabia about increasing oil production to lower the international price of oil and gas, per Yahoo News.
"All the Gulf States are meeting. I've indicated to them that I thought they should be increasing oil production generically, not the Saudis particularly, and I think that we see them in their own interest concluding that makes sense to do," Biden said.

Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Mark Kelly urge Biden to boost oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after White House announced plan to try and reverse soaring gas prices
- The two senators want a five-year plan for Gulf oil drilling
- They wrote Biden a day after he announced new oil releases from reserve
- 'Americans are facing record-level gasoline prices every day when they commute to work, drive their children to school and buy groceries'
- Biden on Thursday blamed price hikes on Putin and COVID-19
Two Democratic senators are urging President Joe Biden to initiate a new five-year plan to increase oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in an effort to trim rising gas prices amid concerns over global supply.
They made their pitch in a letter a day after Biden announced his own efforts, including releasing 1 million barrels a day out of the strategic petroleum reserve over the next six months.
'Americans are facing record-level gasoline prices every day when they commute to work, drive their children to school and buy groceries and medicine,' the senators wrote.
'The additional disruptions in the oil market caused by Russia's illegal war in Ukraine could drive prices up even further.'
Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) wrote President Biden asking for a new plan for Gulf of Mexico oil drilling
Manchin is a key Democratic centrist. Kelly is up for reelection this year.
'We support your decision to coordinate a release of crude oil from the emergency reserves of International Energy Agency members but believe more must be done to provide relief to Americans facing rising costs for everything from gas to groceries,' the wrote, in a letter obtained by Fox News.
They call for a new 'five-year plan' to 'establish a schedule of gas sales' in the Gulf. They mention five Gulf states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and west Florida.
They say the plan should be 'flexible' and allow for the 'protection of marine life and the environment' – a nod to the environmental controversy over leaking wells and spills such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010.
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., joined Manchin on the letter to Biden
The senators are seeking a new five-year plan for Gulf oil drilling
Florida is currently subject to an offshore drilling moratorium, which local leaders back in support of the state's beaches and tourism industry.
There are already thousands of drilling operations in the Gulf, which accounts for about 15 per cent of U.S. crude production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Biden also announced plans Thursday meant to accelerate the switch to electric vehicle, as he blamed gas price hikes on the pandemic and Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
He also announced he is using wartime Defense Production Act powers to accelerate the switch to electric cars by producing materials needed for high-capacity batteries. And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced new fuel economy standards that will require new vehicles to get an average of 40 miles per gallon, reversing a Trump administration rollback.

The Biden administration is reportedly giving equal consideration to plans that would open up zero, some, or all 11 possible offshore oil and gas drilling sales across the United States.
According to the Department of Interior's July oil and gas leasing proposals, an area within Alaska's Cook Inlet and up to 10 sales in the Gulf of Mexico are still up for consideration.
The news comes one day after an offshore drilling plan established by the administration of former President Barack Obama expired and the cancellation of a planned lease sale in Cook Inlet earlier this year, The Hill reported.
Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said in a statement that he was pleased with the department considering the increase in leases but disappointed that it would not consider any new leasing.
"Our leasing programs are a critical component of American energy security," Manchin said, according to E&E News.
"I hope the Administration will ultimately greenlight a plan that will expand domestic energy production, done in the cleanest way possible, while also taking the necessary steps to get our offshore leasing program back on track to give the necessary market signals to provide price relief for every American."
The news comes as gas prices near around $4.84 per gallon nationwide, and up to $6.27 in California, according to data from AAA.
President Joe Biden told reporters at a NATO summit on Thursday that he would not ask Saudi Arabia about increasing oil production to lower the international price of oil and gas, per Yahoo News.
"All the Gulf States are meeting. I've indicated to them that I thought they should be increasing oil production generically, not the Saudis particularly, and I think that we see them in their own interest concluding that makes sense to do," Biden said.

- Police said the residents are being temporarily rehoused outside the search area
Police investigating the disappearance of a 15-year-old boy almost 23 years ago have appealed for information after launching a search of a home he had links to.
Phillip Harris vanished after telling his foster parents he was going to spend the night at a friend's house, West Midlands Police said.
Despite media appeals in Birmingham and Manchester, where he had family ties, there have been no confirmed sightings of Phillip since he left his home in St Eleanors Close, West Bromwich, on the morning of July 28 1999.

Phillip Harris was only 15 when he vanished 23 years ago after telling his foster parents he was going to stay at a friend’s house in Northfield.
Last week West Midlands Police said officers were searching a property in St Paul’s Road, Smethwick which was linked to the teenager at the time.
A line of forensic tents were set up in the back garden as officers were seen entering the home with camera equipment.
They have now revealed that detectives have finished the search and nothing has been found to shed light on what happened to Phillip, who would currently be 38.
Detective Inspector Jim Church, from CID at West Midlands Police, said: “Sadly there has been no proof of life for Phillip in all these years and we need to explore all the information we have to see if we can find out what happened to him.
“We have been in touch with Phillip’s family and made them aware of our investigations and the update on the search of the property in Smethwick.
“We still believe that someone holds the key to Phillip’s disappearance and we would urge anyone with information to contact us.”
Phillip left his home in St Eleanors Close in West Bromwich on the morning of July 28, 1999 to visit a friend in Northfield.
Later that day he phoned his foster parents to say he would be staying overnight with a friend, but hasn’t been seen since.
In spite of media appeals, both in Birmingham and Manchester, where he had family links, there have been no confirmed sightings of him.
West Midlands Police said the current residents are not connected to the enquiry and were rehoused while the search was conducted.
Phillip’s family have also called for anyone with information to come forward.
In a statement, they said: “We think about Phillip every day. We love him and miss him more than words can say.
"If anyone has any information about what has happened to Phillip or where he might be please let the police know.
"Even though he has been missing for many years we are still desperate to know where Phillip is so that we can have some closure.”

Leaders of four Native American tribes in Maine traveled to Washington to testify in favor of a bill that would allow them to benefit from future federal laws despite a state land claims settlement.
Unlike more than 550 federally recognized tribes, Maine's Native Americans are currently governed by the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980 that stipulates they're bound by state law.
Testifying in favor the bill Thursday before a House Natural Resources subcommittee were Penobscot Nation Chief Kirk Francis, Passamaquoddy Indian Township Chief William Nicholas, Micmac Chief Peter Paul and Chief Clarissa Sabattis of the Houlton Band of Maliseets.
Sabattis said that Congress has given other tribes tools to protect citizens, create economic opportunities and provide health care. “We are only asking for the same equal access to these future programs as the other 570 federally recognized tribes have,” she said.
U.S. Rep. Jared Golden sponsored the bill that would update federal law to put Maine’s Wabanaki tribes on equal footing with other tribes moving forward. A fellow Democrat, Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maine, is a co-sponsor. Golden said the bill would “cut through unnecessary red tape and bureaucratic efforts” to ensure federal laws in the future would apply to all tribes, including those in Maine.
It was the first time leaders of the four tribes appeared together in Washington to testify on the Maine Indian Land Claims Settlement in four decades, said Nick Zeller, spokesperson for Golden.
Nicholas agreed that Maine tribes should benefit from federal laws in an “era of self determination.”
“There is no reason why the Wabanaki nations and their citizens should not benefit from those laws,” he said.
In Maine, a proposal in the Legislature to amend the land claims settlement act will be voted on later this month. If approved, it faces a possible veto by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills.

Golden said the bill would “cut through unnecessary red tape and bureaucratic efforts” to ensure federal laws in the future would apply to all tribes, including those in Maine.
It was the first time leaders of the four tribes appeared together in Washington to testify on the Maine Indian Land Claims Settlement in four decades, said Nick Zeller, spokesperson for Golden.
Nicholas agreed that Maine tribes should benefit from federal laws in an “era of self determination.”
“There is no reason why the Wabanaki nations and their citizens should not benefit from those laws,” he said.
In Maine, a proposal in the Legislature to amend the land claims settlement act will be voted on later this month. If approved, it faces a possible veto by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills.

Leaders of four Native American tribes in Maine traveled to Washington to testify in favor of a bill that would allow them to benefit from future federal laws despite a state land claims settlement.
Unlike more than 550 federally recognized tribes, Maine's Native Americans are currently governed by the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980 that stipulates they're bound by state law.
Testifying in favor the bill Thursday before a House Natural Resources subcommittee were Penobscot Nation Chief Kirk Francis, Passamaquoddy Indian Township Chief William Nicholas, Micmac Chief Peter Paul and Chief Clarissa Sabattis of the Houlton Band of Maliseets.
Sabattis said that Congress has given other tribes tools to protect citizens, create economic opportunities and provide health care. “We are only asking for the same equal access to these future programs as the other 570 federally recognized tribes have,” she said.

NEW YORK (PIX11) — New York State lawmakers have not agreed on a new state budget despite a Friday deadline to come up with a plan.
Lawmakers left Albany for the weekend early on Thursday without voting on a state budget as negotiations over several key issues continue, including the debate over funding for a new Buffalo Bills stadium and changes to the state’s bail reform laws.
While some Democrats don’t want any changes made to the bail reform law, Republicans have called for it to be repealed. Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said a dangerous clause will not be introduced.
“We are trying to deal with making sure that people are safe and that we create a public safety environment without criminalizing poverty. And also acknowledging the fact that COVID, the proliferation of guns – there’s a lot of things going on. So we want to do the right things for the right reasons,” she said.
Meanwhile, a source familiar with budget negotiations told PIX11 News that alcohol to-go for restaurants and bars, a gas tax suspension and an increase for child care funding were expected to be included in the final budget.
Lawmakers hope to pass the budget on Monday. If that does not happen, state employees’ paychecks could be delayed.

No deal yet on New York budget, 6 days after deadline
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Legislative leaders and Gov. Kathy Hochul have yet to reach a deal on a $216 billion-plus state budget, and lawmakers and aides faced a lengthy to-do list as of Wednesday afternoon.
The Legislature held a brief session without voting on budget bills, and lawmakers extended their hotel stays as negotiations dragged six days beyond an initial April 1 deadline. Sen. Joe Angelino, a Republican of central New York, said he planned to find an air mattress for his office just in case.
Negotiators still have to finalize details for seven remaining spending plans — including infrastructure, local aid and education. It takes hours to polish and print out each of those plans, and lawmakers must also be briefed and hold debates.
Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes, a Democrat from Buffalo, said the main sticking points have been disagreements on policies including criminal justice reform. She did not expect negotiations to extend over the weekend, but couldn’t say whether lawmakers might announce a deal or vote Thursday or Friday.
“I would say we are close, closer than yesterday,” Peoples-Stokes said. “But there is a ways to go.”
Lawmakers must pass either the budget or stopgap legislation by 10 a.m. Monday to ensure 82,000 state administrative employees get their paychecks on time, according to state comptroller spokesperson Jennifer Freeman.
Lawmakers have been at odds over potential bail reform and other policies that some want to pass through the budget. A 2019 New York law eliminated cash bail for many nonviolent offenses following outcry over people being held behind bars awaiting trial because they couldn’t afford to pay bail, while wealthier people accused of the same crimes went free.
Some law enforcement officials, as well as Republicans and some Democrats, want New York to reintroduce bail for some offenses, citing a rise in violent crime. But other Democrats and criminal justice advocates have pointed out that there isn’t much evidence that the state’s bail laws have had anything to do with an uptick in violence during the pandemic.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie called Hochul’s proposal to allow judges to consider whether a person may be a danger to the public in bail decisions a nonstarter.
Deputy Senate Majority Leader Michael Gianaris said Tuesday that lawmakers have agreed to tweak a New York law that lays out how courts handle discovery in criminal cases.
Another issue that remains unsettled: whether New York should make it easier to allow mental health professionals to seek longer involuntary hospital stays for people with mental illness who might be a danger to themselves or others.
Sen. Diane Savino, a Democrat of Queens, and Sen. George Borrello, a Republican from western New York, are sponsoring such legislation and say the existing 72-hour hospitalization period isn’t enough to stabilize patients.
But critics say such proposals violate the constitutional rights of people facing mental distress who fare better with community-based programs.
New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services CEO Harvey Rosenthal, said he and others with mental illness are more likely to be victims of violence: “We’ve had a couple of high profile incidents and it’s really just unleashed a torrent of lock ‘em up, sweep-them-away approaches, and it’s really reprehensible.”
Gov. Hochul proposed a $216.3 billion budget in January, but lawmakers who want to tap into strong tax revenues expect the final amount will be higher.
The public won’t get to see final details — including a potential suspension of the gas tax and increased spending on overdue utility bills and COVID-19 rental relief — until shortly before lawmakers take their final votes.
Lawmakers typically must wait three days before voting on a bill, but the governor can waive that requirement.
Republicans and some Democrats want to see specifics from Hochul’s office about how exactly New York will fund its promised share of $600 million to subsidize a new football stadium in a Buffalo suburb. It’s possible, for example, that Hochul could fund the project without lawmaker approval by diverting casino revenues from the Seneca Nation.
Some Democrats and good government groups have blasted the deal as a corporate giveaway that would enrich Bills’ vendor Delaware North, which employs Hochul’s husband William. Hochul has promised to not use her position to benefit Delaware North, and the company has barred William from working on state issues.

Cosco Shipping Holdings Co. shares are trading higher in the morning session after the Chinese shipping company released guidance for a steep rise in first-quarter profit.
Shares rose as much as 9.2% to 14.92 Hong Kong dollars early Friday after the company said it expects first-quarter profit to rise 79% from a year earlier to 27.6 billion yuan ($4.35 billion). It said it also expects a near doubling in earnings before interest and taxes to CNY39.3 billion.
In the first quarter, the company said it "overcame the impact of multiple factors including the global pandemic, the shortage of shipping capacity and the sluggishness in the global supply chain."
The higher guidance comes after the company's net profit soared in 2021, roughly in line with analyst expectations, as a steep jump in average freight rates pushed revenue to nearly double to CNY333.7 billion.
Bocom International maintained a buy rating and target price of HK$15.70 on Cosco Shipping shares, citing elevated freight rates while noting its forecasts are now under review.
Bocom said in a research note that it expects Cosco Shipping's container volume rates to remain mild in 2022 at a time of sustained supply-chain disruptions and "potential soft demand growth."
But "we expect [the] supply chain crisis to persist in [the first half of the year] and underpin spot freight rates at high levels," it said.

Shares of shipping companies dropped Thursday morning in Hong Kong amid signs of declining freight rates and investor concerns about waning global demand.
Cosco Shipping Holdings Co. was down 8.0% at HK$13.18 by midday, taking year-to-date losses to 13%. Orient Overseas (International) Ltd. lost 9.2% and Pacific Basin Shipping Ltd. fell 5.8%.
"The shipping freight rate is trending down, so the market sentiment is not well," said Kevin Zhuo, an analyst at brokerage Guotai Junan International.
Investors are downbeat about the prospect of extended weakness in freight rates and watching to see if demand in the U.S. weakens over the coming months, he added.
The Baltic Dry Index, which measures the cost to move major bulk commodities by sea, fell 4.1% overnight to 2410, the lowest level in more than a month, according to FactSet.
Uncertainty about shipping companies' profits, especially beyond 2022, is also weighing on sentiment.
"It's that uncertainty that's now being reflected in the share price, combined with the very bad outlook," Mr. Zhuo said.
Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index was down 0.2% at midday.

Just days after London enjoyed some warmer weather, we were hit by a return of an icy chill and snow. Unfortunately, it seems it will be a while yet until we can enjoy some warmer spring days, as according to the Met Office the start of April will be a wet one.
Over the coming weekend the weather forecaster has predicated a cold a frosty start, which will progress into another day of sunshine and scattered showers. Londoners should remember to wrap up warm, as Saturday will be highs of just 10C.
Towards the start of next week, London and the south east can expect bright skies and further showers. The chilly temperature is expected to become more mild next week.

Much to the disappointment of many, the Met Office has confirmed to MyLondon that they are not expecting any unusually warm weather in the coming ten days. Instead milder, wetter conditioner are most likely for the first part of April.
The Met Office's long range forecast from April 5 to April 14 says: "Through Tuesday, any rain across northern parts will mostly clear through the day, though leaving some rain and drizzle on upslopes. Elsewhere will remain dry, cloudy and breezy, though feeling cold for some parts of the far north and northeast.
"Further unsettled conditions are expected to return later in the week, with most areas seeing spells of rain or showers, potentially wintry on high ground at times. Periods of drier and more settled weather are still possible, but more short-lived than recently. Showers may be heavy at times, with hail and thunder possible. Strong winds are also likely at times, mainly in the north and the west, with temperatures generally near or slightly above average."
Looking further ahead towards the last two weeks of April, the weather forecaster expects continued unsettled conditions. According to the website: "Showers may be heavy at times, some perhaps thundery with a chance of hail. Strong winds are also probable, particularly to the north and west.
"Towards late April, there are tentative signs of more settled conditions redeveloping, although rain and showers remain possible. Temperatures are most likely to be above average, especially in the south, and closer to average across the north."
It seems we will have to wait until the end of April until we start to see above average temperatures, so until then, don't forget your coat.

The UK is to be deluged with a mix of rain, snow, fog and frost in an unsettled start to April. Forecasts for the next week show the weather is to remain unsettled with a mix of wintry conditions and heavy rain.
The UK has seen snow in the last few days, with some of the white stuff even falling at lower levels. And temperatures have plummeted - with the mercury expected to drop below freezing again tonight.
And it seems as though we are not out of the woods yet, with Met Office forecasts calling for snow, hail and thunder all to strike the country over the coming days. The UK-wide five-day forecast says that the start of next week will see persistent rain for some parts of the country, "with some of this turning to snow" in parts.

That is not all either - the long-range forecast covering the period from April 5-16 indicates there is even wilder weather to come. As well as snow being found on high ground, there are calls for gales over central and southern areas, and showers towards the end of the period bring possibilities of hail and thunder storms.
The forecast says in full: "Rain will move southeastwards, with heavy bursts in the west. There is a chance of wintry showers in the north, bringing snow to higher ground. The far southeast will remain dry and bright into the afternoon with largely light winds, though gales may develop in central and southern areas.
"Further unsettled conditions are expected to arrive later in the week, with most areas seeing spells of rain or showers, potentially wintry on high ground at times. Periods of drier and more settled weather are still possible, but more short-lived than recently. Showers may be heavy at times, with hail and thunder possible. Strong winds are also likely at times, mainly in the north and the west, with temperatures generally near or slightly above average."
Despite the weather remaining unsettled, the good news is that temperatures will start to become milder - eventually. Wintry showers are still being predicted today (April 2) after a cold and frosty start this morning - mainly in the west.
Temperatures are also set to plummet overnight as showers die out across the UK to leave largely clear skies. A Met Office spokesman said: “Tonight showers will die out from all but the far north east to leave largely clear skies and a cold and frosty night.
“Some shallow fog patches may develop by dawn.” Sunday sees a change from snow in the north to ‘persistent rain’ by lunchtime which will extend to all of Scotland and Northern Ireland by the evening.
Further south there will be isolated showers and sunny spells. The outlook for next week remains unsettled and generally cloudy with the most persistent rain for the north and west of the country.
And this rain could even turn to snow over the higher ground. However all is not lost. There is still talk of warmer temperatures returning this month with some forecasters predicting an April heatwave.
Met Office South West England five-day weather forecast
Today (Saturday):
Early frost and fog will clear to leave plenty of bright weather in the morning. However, there will be showers, locally wintry, on and off through the day in the west and some will break out elsewhere by the afternoon. Maximum temperature 9 °C.
Tonight:
Apart from the odd shower in the far west, most places will be dry overnight with clear spells. Given gentle winds, a widespread frost and local fog patches will form. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
Sunday:
Early frost and any fog will clear to leave most places with a dry and bright day. However, some cloud will bubble up and this may give an isolated shower. Maximum temperature 12 °C.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
The weather will be more unsettled during this period. There will be outbreaks of rain at times, and it will often be fairly windy. Milder overall though, and mostly frost-free.

BRITS are braced for freezing temperatures as low as -3C as even MORE cold weather is expected next week.
It follows a chilly start of April after parts of the country were covered in snow.
Today, Brits are in for a sunny Sunday with temperatures hitting 10C across parts of the country after a freezing night.
A few showers remain possible for central parts of the country as it gets cloudier further north with rain arriving from the northwest during the day - but it is milder than Saturday overall.
It comes after -3C was recorded in Scotland on Friday and the Met Office issued a yellow warning for ice yesterday.
The warning, which stretches along the east of the country between the Scottish Borders and Lincolnshire, was in place between midnight and 10am.
However, the sunny weather is likely to be brief, with bands of rain and wind forecast for the week ahead.
Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, told express.co.uk: "There is no sign yet of any return to the warm and sunny weather that we saw at the end of March.
"Temperatures will move back towards average at the start of the week, but this will be accompanied by more unsettled conditions from the Atlantic.
"Winter can always bite back at this time of year, and well into April. It is going to turn colder again towards the end of the week, and there will be the risk of further snow."

The Met Office said the weather will be cloudy with rain on Monday, particularly in the west many while eastern areas will be dry with some brightness.
Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud told Sky the wintry weather will continue over the weekend but temperatures are set to rise on Monday as the Arctic air system moves away.
He said: "It's generally dry and cold, if not slightly less cold than we have had for the next few days.
"We've got an Arctic air flow established at the moment, that's coming from a cold source.
"So we've basically got cold, clear air established across the UK.
"There's also a lot of clear and sunny skies, especially to the western parts of the UK."
However, the UK is bracing for more freezing weather later in the week, with many northern areas set to be battered by rain on Tuesday.
Scotland will brace for snow on Wednesday as showers is forecast to hit other parts of the country.

Britons have been warned over freezing temperatures going into the weekend after bursts of snow, cold air and torrential downpour left parts of the UK colder than is expected at the start of April.
Forecasters said “Polar air” as cold as -14C could sweep across Britain in the coming days, due to low pressure “heading off towards Scandinavia” and cold air coming back.
However, the lowest temperature expected to be recorded in the UK across Saturday and Sunday is -5C “at most” in rural Scotland, the Met Office told The Independent. This is quite a lot colder than a standard April temperature, with the average minimum recording for April – between 1991 and 2020 – being 3.75C.
“Low pressure is heading off towards Scandinavia, and cold air is going to return,” Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said.
Looking to Thursday, he added that the “wind will continue to be a feature … by which time the cold northerly winds [will] drive right across the UK, bringing a chillier feel everywhere and that wind in the east will exacerbate the feel of the cold”.
As has been the case in much of Scotland and England this week, hail, sleet and some snow – mostly to lower levels in Scotland – are expected as the cold air persists, Mr Deakin added before warning people with plans on Thursday to “keep up to date with the forecasts”.
Despite the cold start to April – with current records for 9 and 10 April at -10.5C at Belper, Derbyshire, in 1973 and -10.1C at Grantown-on-Spey, Morayshire, in 1978 – it does not look like temperatures will reach all-time lows.
Further snow is forecast through Wednesday in parts of Scotland, though, before dry, bitter air sweeps across the rest of the UK.
Jim Dale, a meteorologist for British Weather Services, told the Daily Express: “The main theme for the end of the week and the start of the weekend will be frosts, and these will be widespread as the cold moves southwards on a Polar front.”
The jet stream is further south than usual for the time of year, and that is controlling this weather pattern, he said.
Warning of potentially cold conditions for the months ahead, he added: “We will be looking over our shoulders until Easter weekend.”
The warnings for the weekend come as torrential rain in London caused panic on Wednesday afternoon.
Across the capital, thunder and lightning broke out with the Met Office warning drivers to be wary of rain on the roads.
In a tweet, the weather service said: “An intense line of heavy showers is bringing a short period of torrential rain and thunderstorms as it moves east across London.
“Be aware of the potential for some surface water on the roads and some lightning strikes across southeast England.”
There were also reports of car alarms being triggered in London as a result of the freak weather occurrences, which affected parts of the city, off and on, for some hours.
The Met Office currently has three yellow weather warnings in place across the UK: one for snow in Scotland, one for wind in Ireland and another for wind in the northwest of England. All end on Thursday morning.
“Take care if you are out and about tonight,” it said in another tweet. “Strong winds could cause some problems in places.”

7 great things to grow on your own plot to beat inflation
Inflation busting produce
Spring is well underway and now is the time to start planting staples to cut the weekly family food budget.
Frugal families wanting to cut costs of the food shop are being offered easy tips to grow fresh food while saving money.
The gardening experts at GardeningExpress.co.uk have looked at the easiest and most cost effective fruit and vegetables to grow.
Those green-fingered, frugal families are being offered easy tips to grow fresh food and save big on their supermarket shop this summer.
Experts at GardeningExpress.co.uk have pulled together top foods that are easy to grow, without the need for a massive garden.
Growing vegetables from seed can make a limited budget go a long way, with fresh herbs and fruit costing lots at the shops.
Advice includes planting potatoes for a kitchen staple, growing tomatoes in their plenty and peppers to go in any meal.
Chris Bonnett from Gardening Express said: “Growing produce at home can save quite a bit of money over a month or two and it’s a great way activity for the whole family.
“You don’t necessarily need a big, sprawling garden to grow your own veggies either. You can easily grow some of these staples indoors, on sills and in kitchens.
“Some of the easiest things to get started and get growing are spuds, strawberries and tomatoes.”
GardeningExpress.co.uk’s tips to grow your own to save some money:
1 Cress
The fast-growing seeds can go from planting to harvest in less than a week. To get them growing, sprinkle seeds over the surface of a pot or sow in the ground in either a block or row, quite close together. Keep the soil moist and the plant in a shady spot, as it doesn’t like getting too hot.
2 Salad leaves
Salad leaf seeds are a great investment, as they grow fast from the tiniest patch and in small containers. Salad can be expensive in the shops and goes out of date fash. Having some fresh and at hand is a saviour for thrifty side salad, sandwiches or as a garnish. Sow seeds evenly all over the surface of a trough or tub of compost in a cool, semi-shady place. This crop is also good on windowsills indoors from autumn to spring. Snip leaves when they are big enough.
3 Herbs
Fresh herbs can spice up the most boring meals, but they can be costly to buy fresh each time and are difficult to keep fresh long enough to get your money’s worth. Basil, chives, parsley, and sage will grow happily in a sunny window box or in a plant pot by the window, and oregano, thyme, mint and rosemary will all do well indoors and outside in a garden.
4 Peppers
Best planted between April and June, peppers prefer well-drained, moist soil. Place the seeds in soil and pop them in an area with good sunlight. A greenhouse or kitchen windowsill is a good place to get them started, then they will want to move outside as the summer heats up. Using canes to support the plant will keep them well supported.
5 Strawberries
These delicious treats often scare new gardeners off, but they are extremely easy to grow and very expensive when purchased from the supermarket. Plant them in water-retaining soil in June, when the weather is warm. Place a net over the plant when they start to grow to protect the fruit from the birds.
6 Plant garlic
Anyone wanting to grow garlic outdoors should start thinking about it early, they are best planted before spring is fully sprung. Find a spacious sunny spot with soil and plant individual cloves, pointed-end up, so that the tip is just covered. Space them about 15cm apart.
7 Tomatoes
Tomatoes are ideal for smaller gardens or even balconies, as they don’t require much space to grow. Sow seeds in small pots filled with seed compost, then cover each pot with a clear plastic bag and place on a bright windowsill. When the flowers begin to open, transfer to 9-inch pots or growing bags, or plant outside in a warm sunny spot 45-60cm apart.

A greenhouse or kitchen windowsill is a good place to get them started, then they will want to move outside as the summer heats up. Using canes to support the plant will keep them well supported.
5 Strawberries
These delicious treats often scare new gardeners off, but they are extremely easy to grow and very expensive when purchased from the supermarket. Plant them in water-retaining soil in June, when the weather is warm. Place a net over the plant when they start to grow to protect the fruit from the birds.
6 Plant garlic
Anyone wanting to grow garlic outdoors should start thinking about it early, they are best planted before spring is fully sprung. Find a spacious sunny spot with soil and plant individual cloves, pointed-end up, so that the tip is just covered. Space them about 15cm apart.
7 Tomatoes
Tomatoes are ideal for smaller gardens or even balconies, as they don’t require much space to grow. Sow seeds in small pots filled with seed compost, then cover each pot with a clear plastic bag and place on a bright windowsill. When the flowers begin to open, transfer to 9-inch pots or growing bags, or plant outside in a warm sunny spot 45-60cm apart.

7 great things to grow on your own plot to beat inflation
Inflation busting produce
Spring is well underway and now is the time to start planting staples to cut the weekly family food budget.
Frugal families wanting to cut costs of the food shop are being offered easy tips to grow fresh food while saving money.
The gardening experts at GardeningExpress.co.uk have looked at the easiest and most cost effective fruit and vegetables to grow.
Those green-fingered, frugal families are being offered easy tips to grow fresh food and save big on their supermarket shop this summer.
Experts at GardeningExpress.co.uk have pulled together top foods that are easy to grow, without the need for a massive garden.
Growing vegetables from seed can make a limited budget go a long way, with fresh herbs and fruit costing lots at the shops.
Advice includes planting potatoes for a kitchen staple, growing tomatoes in their plenty and peppers to go in any meal.
Chris Bonnett from Gardening Express said: “Growing produce at home can save quite a bit of money over a month or two and it’s a great way activity for the whole family.
“You don’t necessarily need a big, sprawling garden to grow your own veggies either. You can easily grow some of these staples indoors, on sills and in kitchens.
“Some of the easiest things to get started and get growing are spuds, strawberries and tomatoes.”
GardeningExpress.co.uk’s tips to grow your own to save some money:
1 Cress
The fast-growing seeds can go from planting to harvest in less than a week. To get them growing, sprinkle seeds over the surface of a pot or sow in the ground in either a block or row, quite close together. Keep the soil moist and the plant in a shady spot, as it doesn’t like getting too hot.
2 Salad leaves
Salad leaf seeds are a great investment, as they grow fast from the tiniest patch and in small containers. Salad can be expensive in the shops and goes out of date fash. Having some fresh and at hand is a saviour for thrifty side salad, sandwiches or as a garnish. Sow seeds evenly all over the surface of a trough or tub of compost in a cool, semi-shady place. This crop is also good on windowsills indoors from autumn to spring. Snip leaves when they are big enough.
3 Herbs
Fresh herbs can spice up the most boring meals, but they can be costly to buy fresh each time and are difficult to keep fresh long enough to get your money’s worth. Basil, chives, parsley, and sage will grow happily in a sunny window box or in a plant pot by the window, and oregano, thyme, mint and rosemary will all do well indoors and outside in a garden.
4 Peppers
Best planted between April and June, peppers prefer well-drained, moist soil. Place the seeds in soil and pop them in an area with good sunlight.

New Delhi, April 1: The supply chains of global semiconductor industry, which was badly affected during the COVID-19 period, may see further disruptions due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Parliament was informed on Friday.
The conflict may have particular impact on the supply of neon and hexafluorobutadiene gases that are essential to manufacture semiconductor chips as these are used in the lithography processes for chip production, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
Ukraine and Russia are major sources of neon and hexafluorobutadiene gases.
"Russia-Ukraine conflict has impacted supply chains in numerous sectors, including semiconductor industry," the minister said. He was responding to a question on whether the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine will have a bearing on production of semiconductor chips and any adverse impact on the automobile industry. Russian FM Sergey Lavrov Meets PM Narendra Modi, Apprises Him of Ongoing Crisis in Ukraine and Bilateral Initiatives.
"The global semiconductor industry is already facing a shortage due to supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 period. The Russia-Ukraine conflict might cause extra disruptions and affect supply chains of semiconductors," Chandrasekhar said.
The semiconductor chip shortage has impacted many industries worldwide with auto and electronics industries among the most affected sectors. The shortage first emerged after the COVID-19 pandemic due to lockdowns and restrictions.
He asserted that the government is very focused on bolstering the overall semiconductor ecosystem and ensuring that it catalyses India's rapidly expanding electronics manufacturing and innovation ecosystem. Russia-Ukraine War: India Can Play Mediator's Role Between Moscow and Kyiv, Says Russian FM Sergey Lavrov.
The government's Rs 76,000-crore semiconductor programme focuses on development of chips and display manufacturing ecosystem in the country.
It aims at providing financial support to companies investing in semiconductors, display manufacturing and design ecosystem, and will boost India's growing presence in the global electronics value chains.

https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/new-vehicles-must-average-40-mpg-by-2026-up-from-24-mpg/
|
DETROIT (AP) — New vehicles sold in the United States will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026 under new rules unveiled Friday by the government.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump. The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just over 24 miles per gallon in real-world driving.
Agency officials say the requirements are the maximum that the industry can achieve over the time period and will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards.
Trump’s administration rolled back fuel economy requirements so they rose 1.5% per year, which environmental groups said was inadequate to limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change.
But the new standards won’t immediately match those adopted through 2025 under President Barack Obama. NHTSA officials said they will equal the Obama standards by 2025 and slightly exceed them for the 2026 model year.
The Obama-era standards automatically adjusted for changes in the type of vehicles people are buying. When they were enacted in 2012, 51% of new vehicle sales were cars and 49% SUVs and trucks. Last year, 77% of new vehicle sales were SUVs and trucks, which generally are less efficient than cars.
Some environmental groups said the new requirements from NHTSA under President Joe Biden don’t go far enough to fight global warming.
“Climate change has gotten much worse, but these rules only require automakers to reduce gas-guzzling slightly more than they agreed to cut nine years ago,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Center at the Center for Biological Diversity.
He said the final rule is about 2 mpg short of the strongest alternative that NHTSA considered.
Officials said that under the new standards, owners would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the lifetime of a 2029 model year vehicle. Carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons by 2050 under the standards, the NHTSA said.
The agency did not give figures for how much the standards would increase the cost of vehicles. Auto dealers say more stringent requirements drive up prices and push people out of an already expensive new-car market.
The NHTSA sets fuel economy requirements, while the Environmental Protection Agency develops limits on greenhouse gas emissions. NHTSA officials said their requirements nearly match rules adopted in December by the EPA, so automakers don’t have to comply with two rules.

Agency officials say the requirements are the maximum that the industry can achieve over the time period and will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards.
Trump’s administration rolled back fuel economy requirements so they rose 1.5% per year, which environmental groups said was inadequate to limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change.
But the new standards won’t immediately match those adopted through 2025 under President Barack Obama. NHTSA officials said they will equal the Obama standards by 2025 and slightly exceed them for the 2026 model year.
The Obama-era standards automatically adjusted for changes in the type of vehicles people are buying. When they were enacted in 2012, 51% of new vehicle sales were cars and 49% SUVs and trucks. Last year, 77% of new vehicle sales were SUVs and trucks, which generally are less efficient than cars.
Some environmental groups said the new requirements from NHTSA under President Joe Biden don’t go far enough to fight global warming.
“Climate change has gotten much worse, but these rules only require automakers to reduce gas-guzzling slightly more than they agreed to cut nine years ago,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Center at the Center for Biological Diversity.
He said the final rule is about 2 mpg short of the strongest alternative that NHTSA considered.
Officials said that under the new standards, owners would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the lifetime of a 2029 model year vehicle. Carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons by 2050 under the standards, the NHTSA said.
The agency did not give figures for how much the standards would increase the cost of vehicles. Auto dealers say more stringent requirements drive up prices and push people out of an already expensive new-car market.
The NHTSA sets fuel economy requirements, while the Environmental Protection Agency develops limits on greenhouse gas emissions. NHTSA officials said their requirements nearly match rules adopted in December by the EPA, so automakers don’t have to comply with two rules.

The Russell 2000 tricked longs back in the fall of 2021 and that "false breakout" led us to a breakdown.
Once again, the break back above the 209.50 level this week may have led to another "false breakout." Can we see a move to the 188.00 level and beyond?
I think bulls have something to think above. Fool me once.

- Ethereum price hits new 2022 lows.
- Bulls have regained nearly all of today’s losses, only to give up those gains for a deeper loss.
- Powerful and rare bullish entry opportunity on the Point and Figure chart.
Ethereum price action, like the rest of the cryptocurrency market, has faced renewed and accelerated selling pressure. After losing 13% at one point during the Wednesday session, buyers poured in and have pushed ETH, close to the open before promptly selling off again.
Ethereum price developing two powerful bullish entry setups
Ethereum price on the $50/3-box reversal chart is poised for an explosive breakout very soon. The hypothetical long entry is a buy stop order at $2,550, a stop loss at $2,400, and a profit target at $3,000.
The setup is based on two patterns in Point and Figure analysis: a Triple-Top Breakout and a Bearish Fakeout. The most powerful of the two is the Bearish Fakeout - which is a form of a bear trap as it entices bears on the sidelines to attempt a short at the bottom of a move.
It is possible that an even more desirable pattern, the Bullish Catapult, could develop after the entry is hit. To confirm a Bullish Catapult setup, traders will want to look for a double-top to form between $2,550 and $2,650.
ETH/USD $50/3-box Reversal Point and Figure Chart
The Ethereum price long trade setup represents a 3 to 1 reward for the risk, with an implied profit target of 18% above the entry. A trailing stop of two to three boxes would help protect against any profit made post entry.
The hypothetical long trade is invalidated if Ethereum price moves to $2,000 before the entry is triggered. In that scenario, ETH is likely on the path to $1,800 and then $1,500 shortly after.

In my previous Bitcoin coverage, I highlighted a critical level that had the potential to end the dominance of the bears since November of last year and give the momentum back to the bulls.
The level has been holding firm since June, and the bulls have moved up 21% this month.
If the price of Bitcoin ends bullish by the close of July, this could be the first indication of a reversal in the market.
However, there are no certainties, just probabilities, and so as investors, we have to be aware of all eventualities, a concept many overlook.
A bullish argument
The price at the time of writing is trading back above the weekly 200sma. In my previous articles, I have highlighted how the price has a history of dropping to this level and then bouncing off it taking the bulls on their next significant run. Could this level hold firm again and push the bulls towards $100,000?
Below is the weekly timeframe.
A bearish argument
The price is still trading below the daily 200 simple moving average and the lowest price point of 2021. If the bears remain below these levels, we could see the price drop towards $10,000 or at least stay in a sideways market for the foreseeable future.
Below is the daily timeframe.
The mistake most budding investors and traders make is predicting what price action will do next, eager to jump in and make money. This approach can work in the short term, but there is no longevity. This is a classic way to burn out or blow up.
In contrast, good investors have a bias based on the asset's history and current market conditions. However, when taking a position, we apply patience to let the price confirm a clear direction first before allocating a negligible risk, typically less than 2%.
This way, if the position fails, the loss is insignificant, and there is no attachment to the position.
However, if the position starts returning a profit, we take further positions, also known as compounding. This allows us to keep our losses capped and our profit uncapped in line with the saying cut your losers short and let your winners.
Patience for now until we get a clear trend direction. A bull revival is looking promising!

Bitcoin shorts at resistance at 41100/500 target 40000 & as far as the March low at 37500/37000 this time. Next target is 36000 with the important 100 week moving average at 35900/700. A break below 35400 is a MAJOR SELL SIGNAL. First stop is 28900/700.
Gains are likely to be limited with minor resistance at 39000/39300 then strong resistance at 40100/300.
Ripple holding below the 100 week moving average at 6650/6600 is a disaster for bulls. Look for 6220/00 then 5800 before a retest of the 2022 low at 5525/5475.
Obviously bulls need prices to recover & hold above 6700 as quickly as possible. I think this is unlikely.
Ethereum strong support at 2800/2750. A break below & hold below 2700 is a medium term sell signal targeting 2640, 2600, 2570 & 2500 (just to start with).
Holding strong support at 2800/2750 allows a recovery to 2900/3000 but may be no further. Bulls need prices to hold above 3000 if there are to get back in the game.

Harrogate church members set off with van of medical supplies for Ukraine
After the community raised £20,000 in a week, three members of a Harrogate church have set off in a van full of urgently-needed medical supplies for Ukraine.
The humanitarian mission sees senior pastor of Mowbray Community Church, Dr David Bolton, is sharing driving duties with Martin Harrison and Peter Fullarton in a non-stop journey across Europe to Wraclaw, a Polish town lying south-west of Krakow on the road to Lviv across the border in Ukraine.
After a short blessing and a goodbye from their church family, the Irishman, Englishman and Scotsman, departed Harrogate bound for the ferry terminal at Harwich in Essex.
The volunteers, working with Christian charity Reach Beyond, were able to fill their van with the type of medical supplies that will help Ukrainian civilians injured by Russian attacks, after the public's magnificent response to a Just Giving campaign launched by Reach Beyond raises in excess of £20,000.
The trip is expected to take six days there and back. Their efforts on ground will be coordinated by Central Eurasian Partners UK, a network of Christian mission organisations working throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
Dr David Bolton said: "We're showing solidarity with the people of Ukraine while praying for peace.
"We were advised that what wounded civilians needed was hospital-ready first aid kits with surgical masks and gloves, medical mattresses, tourniquets, bandages, anti-septics and wheelchairs, all the things to make it possible to treat them in the middle of a war.
"We are just the delivery men. Nothing would have been possible without the generosity of Harrogate people."
The church's Just Giving campaign is continuing.

Medical supplies worth £20,000 have made the 1,300 mile trip to the frontline in Ukraine thanks to a Bedworth church trio. Jim Morris, Peter Kingham and David Whitehead drove a Renault Traffic minibus from Life Church Bedworth to head to the Ukraine border.
The vehicle was full with donations, which included five large boxes of unused professional heath equipment from Coventry College and individuals, which totalled more than £20,000. After taking stints driving, the trio arrived in Lviv, 43 miles beyond the Polish border.
Not only did they leave the donations at the border, but also the minibus, which is now being used by local Pastor Daniel to transport women, children and elderly people fleeing war-torn Ukraine. After their mission, the trio flew back home from Poland but as the Life Church prepared for a second trip.

'I hope they won't forget us'
Speaking about the support sent and why it is needed again, Linda Baynes, work base academy technical trainer at Coventry College and volunteer at Life Church Bedworth, said: “It’s fantastic that the college agreed for this equipment to be taken to Ukraine where it will be used on the frontline in a show of solidarity with people still in Ukraine and other Ukrainians across the world.
“We received a message from a young pastor in Ukraine, who said ‘I hope they won’t forget us, just because the war is still going on, we need help’, and we want to do everything we can to help,
“As a volunteer at Life Church, I have seen the great things that can be achieved through community effort, but this is a truly impressive feat. By supporting the local community, the college has been able to play a part in, potentially, saving lives of vulnerable people more than a thousand miles away.
“The commitment shown by Jim, Peter and David has been tremendous, and while we are delighted to see them return home safely, it would be great if we could see a repeat of the support shown by local people, businesses, and other organisations to ensure their next trip carries as much vital equipment as possible.”
Items can be dropped off at Dovedale House, Life Church Bedworth on Bulkington Road on Tuesday to Fridays from 9am to 4pm. Donations can also be made online here

'It's harrowing' - Neighbours tell of scenes witnessed on Ukraine aid trip
- Credit: Warren Page/Pagepix
A retired firefighter has completed two perilous journeys delivering medical aid to Ukraine.
Peter Bee, 65, and his 70-year-old next-door neighbour Glyn Jordan, from the village of Needham, on the Suffolk/Norfolk border, made a pact over a beer to embark on the 2,200-mile round trip with as many essential supplies as they could get their hands on.
With the support of their local community and businesses in Norfolk and Suffolk, the ex-HGV drivers have raised up to £100,000 in cash and vital medical supplies in less than a month which they delivered by road to Lviv, east of the Polish border, courtesy of a BV106 Ifor Williams Box Van Trailer.
The trailer was loaned free of charge to the pair by IWT dealer Agroco Trailers, based in Needham Market, which handed over a cheque worth £1,000 to boost their efforts. The firm has also supplied further trailers for collecting and ferrying around donations ahead of their journeys.
The best friends, who have been liaising with the charity Caritas in Ukraine, have delivered thousands of pounds worth of trauma kits, tourniquets, bandages, medicine, saline and irrigation solutions for wounds, nappies, baby milk and sanitary supplies – much of which they purchased off Amazon – to the war-torn city.
Despite the high-risk missions, the pair have no plans to stop.
“I’ve never done anything like this before,” admitted Peter.

“What made me do it is the fact I have grandchildren myself. I saw a woman on the news whose son had died. She was inconsolable and my wife and I just cried. I said this shouldn’t be happening, we have to do something. By doing something it gives us hope.
“I’m an ex-fireman and lorry driver. We thought we’d just get some stuff together and it all just blew up and got way out of proportion. The first time we took around £30,000-£35,000 of aid down into Ukraine. It was difficult getting over the border as they thought we were carrying guns on board.
“They checked everything while we were holding our hands in the air! Understandably, they are very nervy and it took us a couple of hours to get in and around nine hours to get back.
“The second time we managed to get the right paperwork to go into Lviv and handed over the supplies directly. Two cruise missiles had gone over the day before and we had to be back by 10pm because of the curfew as we would’ve been shot.
“When they opened the boxes, they sobbed in gratitude. This is happening on our door, on our watch. We have to help these people and children.
“We estimate we’ve brought £80,000-£100,000 of aid so far. It’s unbelievable. We couldn’t have done it without the help we’ve received from the village who’ve sorted it all out. Local people have really pulled together. It’s been a fantastic community effort."
Nick Ruffle, a partner at Agroco Trailers, said the firm had already put a couple of box vans aside in case they were needed for aid efforts and were delighted when Peter approached them with his plans.
The scenes confronting both Peter and Glyn on arrival in Ukraine have only spurred them on to do more to help the stricken people.
“They have nothing, everything has been taken from them. It’s harrowing,” said Peter.
“I talked to one woman who’d just driven from Kyiv with her child. She said her husband had stayed on to fight and she didn’t know where she was going.
“I’m an ex-fireman and I’ve seen most things but it’s just appalling. That’s why we have to go back."
Lois Wynne, from Ifor Williams Trailers, said: “We are delighted Ifor Williams Trailers has been able to play an important role in these aid missions and our thanks go to Nick for coming to the rescue when help was needed."

Trip sets off for Poland with supplies for Ukrainian crisis which were collected by Grantham area villagers
More news, no ads
LEARN MOREA group have set off on a drive to Poland to take vital supplies to a refugee crisis centre, and will be bringing Ukrainian families back to the UK.
Four people left for Poland this morning (Wednesday) to deliver medical and sanitary supplies to support Ukrainian refugees, thanks to collections and fundraising across the Cliff villages.
Judith Sharman, of Hough on the Hill, will be joined by Helen Baly-Stark, of Horncastle; Rich Bentley, an ex-marine from Lincoln; and Tim Haller, a helicopter pilot from New Zealand who was roped into the trip while visiting his daughter for her wedding.
Between them, they will taking it in turns to drive the expected 21 hour journey.
The quartet will arrive at a refugee crisis centre in Poland with donations of medical equipment and other supplies from residents in Hough, Caythorpe, Fulbeck, Marston, Wellbourn and Navenby.
Following this, the return trip will see them collect three families to bring home to the UK. One of the families is in Warsaw, where they have waited for the last three weeks while a visa was sorted.
As well as the supplies, £4,500 has been raised over the last month to make the trip possible, with a second trip set to be organised by Helen in Horncastle.
However, Helen brought over some of the collections from Horncastle, including medical supplies, to go on this week's trip because they were needed urgently.
Last night (Tuesday), residents gathered at Hough church to help load the minibus with supplies and to wish the four a safe journey.
Judith said: “It was brilliant. We had a really good turnout. There was a queue of people transferring boxes."

https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/New-vehicles-must-average-40-mpg-by-2026-under-US-17050702.php
|
DETROIT (AP) — New vehicles sold in the United States will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026, up from about 28 mpg, under new federal rules unveiled Friday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump. For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just under 28 miles per gallon in real-world driving. The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
Agency officials say the requirements are the maximum that the industry can achieve over the time period and will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose department includes the NHTSA, said the rules also will help strengthen national security by making the country less dependent on foreign oil and less vulnerable to volatile gasoline prices. Gasoline nationwide has spiked to an average of more than $4.22 per gallon, with much of the increase coming since Russia, a major oil producer, invaded Ukraine in late February. It cost $2.88 per gallon just a year ago, according to AAA.
Gas prices also have helped to fuel inflation to a 40-year high, eating up household budgets and hitting President Joe Biden's approval ratings.
“Transportation is the second-largest cost for American families, only behind housing,” Buttigieg said. The new standards, he said, will help keep the U.S. more secure and preserve “the freedom of our country to chart its future without being subject to other countries and to the decisions that are being made in the boardrooms of energy companies.”
But auto dealers say more stringent requirements drive up prices and push people out of an already expensive new-car market.
Trump’s administration rolled back fuel economy standards, allowing them to rise 1.5% per year, which environmental groups said was inadequate to limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change. The standards had been rising about 5% per year previously.
But the new standards won't immediately match those adopted through 2025 under President Barack Obama. NHTSA officials said they will equal the Obama standards by 2025 and slightly exceed them for the 2026 model year.
The Obama-era standards automatically adjusted for changes in the type of vehicles people are buying. When they were enacted in 2012, 51% of new vehicle sales were cars and 49% SUVs and trucks. Last year, 77% of new vehicle sales were SUVs and trucks, which generally are less efficient than cars.
Some environmental groups said the new requirements from NHTSA under Biden don't go far enough to fight global warming. Others supported the new standards as a big step toward reducing emissions.
“Climate change has gotten much worse, but these rules only require automakers to reduce gas-guzzling slightly more than they agreed to cut nine years ago,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Center at the Center for Biological Diversity.
He said the final rule is about 2 mpg short of the strongest alternative that NHTSA considered.
Officials said that under the new standards, owners would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the lifetime of a 2029 model year vehicle. Carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons by 2050 under the standards, the NHTSA said.
Automakers are investing billions of dollars to develop and build electric vehicles but say government support is needed to get people to buy them. The companies want government tax credits to reduce prices as well as more money for EV charging stations to ease anxiety over running out of juice.
Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, said Friday it's investing $35 billion on electric and hybrid vehicles and to become carbon neutral by 2038. “These aims are critical to a sustainable future, and are more likely to be realized with government support for a widespread EV recharging network, point-of-sale EV purchase incentives, and inducements to expand electric-vehicle manufacturing in the U.S.,” the company said in a statement.
The NHTSA sets fuel economy requirements, while the Environmental Protection Agency develops limits on greenhouse gas emissions. NHTSA officials said their requirements nearly match rules adopted in December by the EPA, so automakers don't have to comply with two rules.

Trump’s administration rolled back fuel economy standards, allowing them to rise 1.5% per year, which environmental groups said was inadequate to limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change. The standards had been rising about 5% per year previously.
But the new standards won't immediately match those adopted through 2025 under President Barack Obama. NHTSA officials said they will equal the Obama standards by 2025 and slightly exceed them for the 2026 model year.
The Obama-era standards automatically adjusted for changes in the type of vehicles people are buying. When they were enacted in 2012, 51% of new vehicle sales were cars and 49% SUVs and trucks. Last year, 77% of new vehicle sales were SUVs and trucks, which generally are less efficient than cars.
Some environmental groups said the new requirements from NHTSA under Biden don't go far enough to fight global warming. Others supported the new standards as a big step toward reducing emissions.
“Climate change has gotten much worse, but these rules only require automakers to reduce gas-guzzling slightly more than they agreed to cut nine years ago,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Center at the Center for Biological Diversity.
He said the final rule is about 2 mpg short of the strongest alternative that NHTSA considered.
Officials said that under the new standards, owners would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the lifetime of a 2029 model year vehicle. Carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons by 2050 under the standards, the NHTSA said.
Automakers are investing billions of dollars to develop and build electric vehicles but say government support is needed to get people to buy them. The companies want government tax credits to reduce prices as well as more money for EV charging stations to ease anxiety over running out of juice.
Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, said Friday it's investing $35 billion on electric and hybrid vehicles and to become carbon neutral by 2038. “These aims are critical to a sustainable future, and are more likely to be realized with government support for a widespread EV recharging network, point-of-sale EV purchase incentives, and inducements to expand electric-vehicle manufacturing in the U.S.,” the company said in a statement.
The NHTSA sets fuel economy requirements, while the Environmental Protection Agency develops limits on greenhouse gas emissions. NHTSA officials said their requirements nearly match rules adopted in December by the EPA, so automakers don't have to comply with two rules.

DETROIT (AP) — New vehicles sold in the United States will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026, up from about 28 mpg, under new federal rules unveiled Friday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump. For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just under 28 miles per gallon in real-world driving. The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
Agency officials say the requirements are the maximum that the industry can achieve over the time period and will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose department includes the NHTSA, said the rules also will help strengthen national security by making the country less dependent on foreign oil and less vulnerable to volatile gasoline prices. Gasoline nationwide has spiked to an average of more than $4.22 per gallon, with much of the increase coming since Russia, a major oil producer, invaded Ukraine in late February. It cost $2.88 per gallon just a year ago, according to AAA.
Gas prices also have helped to fuel inflation to a 40-year high, eating up household budgets and hitting President Joe Biden's approval ratings.
“Transportation is the second-largest cost for American families, only behind housing,” Buttigieg said. The new standards, he said, will help keep the U.S. more secure and preserve “the freedom of our country to chart its future without being subject to other countries and to the decisions that are being made in the boardrooms of energy companies.”
But auto dealers say more stringent requirements drive up prices and push people out of an already expensive new-car market.

RBI lowers limit for ways and means advances for States to ₹47,010 cr.
Move follows gradual lifting of COVID-19 estrictions across States
In view of improvement in the pandemic situation, the Reserve Bank on Friday decided to reduce the Ways and Means Advances (WMA) for States and Union Territories (UTs) to ₹47,010 crore from ₹51,560 crore.
WMA are temporary advances given by the RBI to the government to tide over any mismatch in receipts and payments.
Considering the uncertainties related to COVID-19, the RBI had raised the WMA limit to ₹51,560 crore for all States. The higher WMA was applicable till March 31, 2022.
On a review of the limits and keeping in view the gradual lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, RBI said it had been decided to revert to the WMA limits and timelines for Over Draft (OD) for State governments / UTs as recommended by the Advisory Committee on Ways and Means Advances to State Governments.
These norms will be effective from April 1, 2022 and are subject to review.
The RBI further said the Special Drawing Facility (SDF) availed of by State governments/ UTs would continue to be linked to the quantum of their investments in marketable securities issued by the Government of India, including Auction Treasury Bills (ATBs).
The interest rates on SDF, WMA and OD shall continue to be linked to the policy rate of the Reserve Bank - the repo rate.
Interest will be charged for all the days the advance remains outstanding, the central bank added.
The limit for WMA for the Government of India for the first half of the financial year FY23 has been set at ₹1,50,000 crore.

The borrowing cost for the states fell for the fourth consecutive week as the weighted average cut-off eased 6 basis points (bps) to 7.46 per cent at the weekly auctions on Tuesday. Ten states have raised Rs 10,500 crore at the latest auction of state development loans, which is 1.5 per cent higher than indicated in the borrowing calendar, a first in a couple of years. Since the outbreak of Covid, states were borrowing much lower than indicated amount thanks to higher grants from the central government. Ten states have raised Rs 10,500 crore at the latest auction of state development loans, which is 1.5 per cent higher than indicated in the borrowing calendar, a first in a couple of years.
last week the Centre released Rs 58,300 crore as tax devolution for July, up from Rs 47,600 crore each in the first quarter. Additionally, the Centre had approved Rs 31,500 crore of special assistance for capital expenditure to 10 states during that month. The weighted average cut-off has eased by 6 bps to 7.46 per cent from the past week, despite the weighted average tenor increasing to 14 years from 13, and the spread between 10-year state debt and the 10-year G-Secs (Government Securities) yield declined to 37 bps from 39 bps last week, according to an analysis by Icra Ratings.
Reflecting the declining trend, the 10-year G-secs yield declined to 7.08 per cent from 7.14 per cent last Tuesday. Also, the weighted average cut-off of the 10-year state bonds eased to 7.45 per cent today from 7.53 per cent last week. Accordingly, the spread between the weighted average 10-year state debt and new 10-year G-Secs yield dipped to 37 bps from 39 bps. Also, the weighted average cut-off of the 10-year state bonds eased to 7.45 per cent today from 7.53 per cent last week.
Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Sikkim, which had not indicated their participation in the auction, issued Rs 5,800 crore, while Goa borrowed Rs 800 crore more than indicated. In contrast, Haryana, Kerala, Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu, and Bengal did not participate in the auctions, even though they had indicated a combined borrowing of Rs 5,200 crore.

Travis Shaud, 34, was identified Friday morning by Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf as the man who opened fire on police Thursday afternoon in the 1100 block of Forest Street, Lebanon.
Shaud was a Lebanon resident, and his last known address was in the 1600 block of Rita Lane, Lebanon. He had two children.
Police record
He had been arrested several times in the past. In 2012, he was sentenced to 12 months' probation for a careless driving incident that occurred in 2011.
In 2018, police responded to a domestic violence call in which they found Shaud's girlfriend on the roof of her residence, according to police records. She had injuries on her arm, was "distraught" and told police that Shaud had assaulted her, according to court records.
In 2019, a criminal complaint was filed against Shaud for domestic-violence-related simple assault against his girlfriend.

In 2020, he was placed on probation for 23 months for domestic-violence-related simple assault, and in June 2020, he was sentenced to serve 9-23 days in jail for simple assault.
In July 2021, Shaud was served with a protection from abuse order filed by his girlfriend. That order listed both the girlfriend and a minor child as the plaintiffs.
Mental health issues
Lebanon officials said Friday that Shaud has suffered with mental health issues for years.
In a 2012 Facebook post on the page of Travis Shaud of Lebanon, he writes that the older he gets the more he thinks "violence is the answer" and begins to describe how a 12-gauge shotgun is all one needs to make things right.
Shaud family friend Susan Schott said when Shaud's mother died July 2021, his mental health conditions likely worsened. She said when he was himself he was wonderful, but he became violent when manic.
At the time of Shaud's death, police reported he broke in to a relative's house on Forest Street in Lebanon, stealing a handgun he would ultimately use to kill Lt. William Lebo before being killed on scene.

The Forest Street address belonged to the family of Shaud, but Shaud did not live at the home. Before the shooting occurred, a family member returned home to find that Shaud had broken into the home. The family member immediately phoned the police.
When officers arrived, Shaud fired at multiple officers. Officers returned fire, and Shaud was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials say Lt. William Lebo was shot and killed when officers and Shaud exchanged gunfire on Thursday afternoon. The two other officers have been taken to area hospitals.
Shaud had used a handgun in his attack on the police. The Lebanon County District Attorney’s Office is handling the investigation.

Topline
A slightly larger share of Americans supports a 15-week abortion ban—which more states are passing and the Supreme Court could soon greenlight—than oppose it, a new Wall Street Journal poll finds, even as most still want abortion to be legal before that point.
Key Facts
The poll found 48% of respondents at least somewhat support restricting abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, while 43% oppose it.
The share of those who strongly oppose a 15-week ban is higher than the share that strongly support it, however (34% versus 31%).
Support for 15-week bans was heavily dependent on respondents’ political party: only 21% of Democrats backed 15-week bans versus 75% of Republicans.
A 55% majority still believe abortion should be legal “in all or most cases,” while 30% say it should only be legal in cases of rape, incest, and medical emergencies and just 11% don’t want it to be legal at all.
Americans are more opposed to six-week abortion bans—such as the one in Texas, which other states are now replicating—with 50% opposing those bans and 42% supporting them.
The poll was conducted March 2-7 among 1,500 registered voters, and the Journal notes it was conducted jointly by Republican and Democratic polling firms.
What To Watch For
The Supreme Court is now deliberating whether to uphold Mississippi’s 15-week ban, with a decision expected by late June or early July. Justices on the 6-3 conservative court signaled during oral arguments in the case they’re likely to side with Mississippi, though it’s still unclear whether they’ll narrowly uphold 15-week bans, or if their ruling will go even further and let states impose stricter restrictions—or overturn Roe v. Wade and let states ban abortion entirely. A growing number of states are imposing 15-week bans in the meantime: Arizona became the first state this year to enact a 15-week law on Wednesday, and Florida will soon follow, as the state has already passed a 15-week bill that’s just waiting on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature. West Virginia’s legislature is also considering a 15-week bill, which already passed the state’s House of Delegates in February.
Key Background
The Journal poll is in line with other polling on abortion that’s found Americans are broadly supportive of the procedure remaining legal, but are more willing to accept restrictions once it’s further into the pregnancy. The 15-week bans are part of a broader slew of state-level abortion restrictions that have been passed in recent years, with the pro-abortion rights Guttmacher Institute reporting more than 100 were passed in 2021 alone, the most in a single year since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. Fifteen-week laws have become increasingly popular among anti-abortion lawmakers, however, the Washington Post reports, as the bans are seen as less “extreme” and controversial than stricter restrictions and let lawmakers curb abortion while seeming more “reasonable” and garnering less outrage from the left.
Surprising Fact
Only a small subset of abortions take place after 15 weeks—they made up just 2% of all U.S. abortions in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Abortion rights advocates stress it’s still important to have abortion access after 15 weeks, however, as many of the procedures that do take place are often for minors, people who didn’t have access to care sooner or those with health complications that only emerged later into the pregnancy.

More Americans support than oppose 15-week abortion bans: WSJ poll
As the fight around abortion prepares for new decisions this summer at the Supreme Court, a new poll from The Wall Street Journal found more Americans support a ban on abortions 15 weeks or more into a pregnancy than oppose it.
In the poll, 48 percent said they strongly or somewhat favored a 15-week abortion ban with the exception of protecting the health of the mother, while 43 percent were opposed to such a ban.
The poll found 31 percent strongly supported the ban, and 17 percent somewhat supported it. On the opposite side, about 34 percent strongly opposed the measure, while around 10 percent somewhat opposed it.
The results come as multiple Republican-led states have passed bills that ban abortions after the pregnant person is 15 weeks into the pregnancy.
The Supreme Court, now with a 6-3 conservative majority after former President Trump made three appointments confirmed by a GOP Senate, is set to consider a Mississippi law banning abortions 15 weeks into a pregnancy.
The state law is one of several that have been moved through GOP legislatures to limit abortion rights.
President Biden’s nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson would not change the makeup of the court, which would retain the 6-3 conservative majority if she is confirmed by the Senate, as expected.
Although more respondents supported than opposed the 15-week ban, a majority of voters said abortions should be legal in all or most cases.
Fifty-five percent supported the legality of abortion in most cases, 30 percent said it should only be legal in cases of rape, incest or health of the mother, and 11 percent said it should be illegal in all cases.
The results underscore the complexity of abortion opinions in America.
“A majority opposes overturning Roe v. Wade but most would support moving the viability threshold to 15 weeks instead of 24 weeks,” Mark Penn, the co-director of a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey, said back in December.
The new poll was conducted between March 2 and March 7 among 1,500 registered voters. The margin of error regarding the support for 15-week abortion bans was 3.6 percentage points, while the margin of error for whether abortion should be legal was 2.5 percentage points.
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.

More voters favor 15-week abortion ban than oppose it, poll finds
Only 21% of Democrats signaled support for 15-week bans versus 75% of Republicans
More U.S. voters than not favor a 15-week abortion ban that some state lawmakers in America are pushing for, a new survey has found.

A total of 31% of voters stated they strongly support a 15-week ban, while 34% of those surveyed said they strongly oppose such a measure. Another 17% said they were somewhat in support of the ban, and 10% stated they were somewhat opposed.
Of those who oppose and support the measure, the results were split along party lines. Only 21% of Democrats signaled support for 15-week bans versus 75% of Republicans. A mere 20% of Republicans oppose a 15-week ban, according to the survey.
Nevertheless, a 55% majority says it believes abortion should be legal "in all or most cases," while 30% say it should be illegal except for cases involving rape, incest and medical emergencies. Only 11% don’t want it to be legal at all.
Lawmakers and governors in several states – including Mississippi, Florida, Arizona and Kentucky – have introduced, or even signed into law, measures that would outlaw abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The Supreme Court is reviewing a 15-week abortion ban measure out of Mississippi. The court's decision in the matter could have a direct impact on the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which allows a woman to have an abortion until the point of fetal viability, usually around 22 to 24 weeks.
The Wall Street Journal poll was conducted from March 2 to 7 and gathered responses from 1,500 registered voters. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

Biden Unintentionally Concedes Trump Tax Cuts Are Working as Treasury Sees Record Revenues
President Joe Biden, while announcing his proposed 2023 budget Monday conceded, in effect, that former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts are working.
The numbers speak for themselves: The federal treasury took in over $4 trillion in revenues in fiscal year 2021 and is on track to receive over $4.5 trillion this year.
By way of comparison, the federal government took in $3.3 trillion in revenues in 2017, prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act being implemented.
On Monday, Biden pronounced his $5.8 trillion budget plan first and foremost restores “fiscal responsibility.”
“The Trump tax cuts added $2 trillion in deficit spending and largely helped the rich and the largest corporations,” the president said.
Democrats have been throwing around these false talking points about the Trump tax cuts for years.
Many fact checkers have debunked the claims.
“Here we go again. Democrats have long attacked President Trump’s tax cut in misleading ways,” The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler wrote in 2019, when he gave Biden four Pinocchios — the worst rating.
“Technically, the tax cut signed into law by Trump had an estimated revenue loss of a little under $1.5 trillion over 10 years. So Biden is rounding up here,” he explained.
Not to mention the fact that Democrats always seem to calculate lost dollars without factoring in the economic growth tax cuts create, which generates new revenues.
Further regarding who benefited from the tax cuts, Kessler pointed to the liberal Tax Policy Center, which found “that 80.4 percent of all taxpayers would have a tax cut, compared with about 5 percent experiencing a tax increase. In the middle quintile, 91 percent would get a tax cut, averaging about $1,090, with 7.3 percent facing a tax increase averaging about $910.”
The increases were primarily due to the legislation limiting the amount of state taxes paid that could be deducted from the federal tax bill. High income earners from high tax states were the beneficiaries prior to the new limits being imposed.
“In the $50,000 to $75,000 range, 82 percent would get tax cuts, with people who got a tax cut ending up with an average of almost $1,000,” the Post reported, which is mainly due to almost doubling the standard deduction, doubling child tax credit and lowering the tax rates at all income levels.
So after falsely trashing Trump’s tax cuts on Monday, Biden conceded they are working.
“[W]e have generated a GDP growth of 5.7 percent, the best economic growth we’ve seen in this country in over 40 years. This has led to a substantial increase in government revenues and dramatically improved our fiscal situation,” he said.
Forty years takes us back to Ronald Reagan’s first term, when following across the board tax cuts, like those passed under Trump, the economy took off, experiencing 4.6 percent growth in 1983 and 7.2 percent in 1984.
It should also be noted that federal tax revenues doubled during the 1980s from approximately $500 billion to $1 trillion, as the economy grew nearly a third larger from 6.8 trillion to 9.2 trillion GDP.
That’s the whole point behind the right kind of tax cuts: They create increased economic activity, which leads to higher profits, more jobs and increased revenues.
Eighteen million jobs were created during Reagan’s eight years in office (when the population was nearly 100 million fewer than now).
During Trump’s term, prior to the COVID shut downs, the nation experienced its lowest unemployment rate in 50 years and highest number of people employed, ever — 160 million.
With the 45th president’s tax cuts still in place, we’re getting close to those numbers again.
On Monday, The Wall Street Journal editorial board highlighted that the cuts have worked as advertised in terms of revenue, as well.
After noting the record $4 trillion haul in FY 2021, the board wrote, “In the first five months of fiscal 2022 through February, federal receipts climbed a remarkable 26% from a year earlier. That’s $371 billion more — to $1.8 trillion in five months. Individual income taxes rose $271 billion, or 38 percent, to $975 billion. Corporate income taxes rose 31 percent, or $28 billion, to $117 billion.”
“This flood of taxpayer dollars — which CBO estimates will hit $4.53 trillion this year — would not so long ago have been more than adequate to fund Washington’s spending needs,” the editors added. “The federal government in fiscal 2019 spent $4.4 trillion.”
Biden’s 2023 budget calls for $5.8 trillion in spending, which is way too high.
His plan includes increasing the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent, thereby making American businesses among the highest taxed in the industrialized world
The president would also allow the current individual tax cuts to expire in 2025 and impose a 20 percent wealth tax on those with assets of $100 million or more.
As the Wall Street Journal board concluded, “The current tax system is throwing off revenue to spend if the politicians would show a modicum of restraint. Yet the Biden Administration is proposing $2.5 trillion in tax increases over 10 years.
“That would take the tax share of GDP to new records, and it’s the last thing that taxpayers or the economy need.”
The Trump tax cuts are working, and the best thing Biden could do is leave well enough alone.

Everybody wants credit for booming tax revenue
You know everything that’s going wrong: Inflation is too high, crime is too widespread, Russia is a barbaric menace. But at least one thing is going right: Federal tax revenue is soaring, providing at least a temporary respite to the usual fiscal gloom.
Total federal tax receipts for 2022 are up 39% from the same period in 2021, according to the Treasury Department. Revenue from individual income taxes, the biggest source, is up 69%. Revenue from business taxes is up 22%. Total tax revenue this year could amount to 19.6% of GDP, which would be the most since the dot-com mania in 2000 swelled government coffers.
Politicians accustomed to blaming each other for myriad problems also impulsively take credit when something good happens. President Biden says “my economic policies powered a rapid recovery” that boosted tax revenue and led to a huge decline in this year’s federal deficit. Not so, Republicans say. They argue that the 2017 Trump tax cuts “led to historically high revenues.” Nonpartisan experts, meanwhile, say not to believe either side.
Excellent timing for Biden
Biden, for his part, is a beneficiary of lucky timing. He came into office as massive stimulus programs produced a record deficit of $3.1 trillion in 2020, the last year of the Trump administration. It was only slightly smaller, $2.8 trillion, during Biden’s first year in office, in part because Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, financed entirely by borrowing. But there’s been no stimulus spending in fiscal 2022, which ends in September, and the Congressional Budget Office forecasts a mere $1 trillion deficit in 2022, which sounds like a big improvement.
If Biden hadn’t signed the ARP, there would have been a big drop in the deficit in 2021, his first year in office (and inflation might not have turned out quite as bad as it is now). But Biden didn’t campaign on reducing the deficit and it’s never been a top priority for him. He may also have figured it would be more politically important to show progress on the deficit in 2022, a midterm election year, than the year prior. At any rate, bragging about a deficit of only $1 trillion is like showing off a jalopy you just got running again.
Republicans point to the CBO’s latest budget forecast and say it’s proof the 2017 tax cuts did exactly what Republicans promised: stimulate so much new economic activity that tax receipts would go up even as tax rates went down. But the CBO report doesn’t say that at all. The latest forecast mentions the 2017 tax law at least 30 times. But to explain the big boost in 2022 revenue, it says this: “Total projected revenues rise sharply in 2022 because of the economic recovery, the end of temporary provisions enacted in response to the pandemic, and the strength in tax collections so far this year (which cannot yet be fully explained).” CBO gives no credit to the tax cut.

There’s an alternative Republican validation of the 2017 tax cuts. Two economists who served in the Trump administration argued in a May Wall Street Journal piece that corporate tax receipts boomed in 2021 because after the 2017 tax cuts, U.S. businesses booked more overseas profit at home, paying taxes on that income in the U.S. rather than overseas. American companies also acquired more foreign firms, boosting their U.S. income further. Yet corporate tax revenue dropped sharply during the first three years after the tax cut, and only rebounded in 2021, so you have to accept a lag in this supposed cause-effect relationship, and discount the role COVID-era aid to businesses may have played.
Three key factors
Analysts at the Tax Policy Center aren’t buying it. In a rebuttal to the Wall Street Journal piece, they argued that corporate tax revenue surged in 2021 for three reasons: 1. Real GDP growth in 2021 was 5.5%, the highest since 1984. 2. Inflation hit the highest levels in 40 years. 3. Congress passed $5 trillion worth of stimulus in 2020 and 2021, plus the Federal Reserve provided aggressive monetary stimulus. The stimulus money sent demand surging, which allowed firms to raise prices amid supply shortages, which in turn boosted profits. When corporate profits rise, corporate tax payments rise, too.
The 2017 tax-cut law “is not a plausible explanation for the large recent increase in corporate tax receipts,” the TPC analysts say. “Instead, just look to the economic recovery, higher prices from supply and demand imbalances, the aftermath of pandemic relief legislation, and monetary accommodation.”
Those same factors likely apply to individual income tax payments, which also hit a record in 2021 and are headed even higher this year. Total employment is still below pre-COVID levels, but incomes are growing faster than usual, in part because of inflation and in part because of all the stimulus money that kept people employed or tided over laid-off workers until they went back to work.
These types of arcane economic arguments don’t usually get settled, with one authoritative explanation everybody agrees upon. Direct cause-and-effect relationships are hard to establish, as the CBO acknowledged when it said some of the windfall tax revenue can’t be fully explained. This allows partisans to believe what they want, instead of what might actually be true. Then the two parties wage messaging battles where persuasive slogans and pithy taglines matter more than a rational economic argument.
So Democrats can praise Biden for his fiscal responsibility, while Republicans proclaim the rebirth of trickle-down economics. At least they’re fighting over something good, for once.

Biden’s Deficit Shrinking Claim Fails Fact Check
After his first year in office, President Biden doesn’t have much to brag about. That’s especially true when it comes to the economy. So much so that he’s reached into his bag of political tricks and pulled out an old one. He’s trying to make himself look better by fudging facts.
Fact Fudging
The latest fact-fudging comes in the form of claims his policies are successfully reducing the U.S. government’s budget deficit. But as CNN’s Daniel Dale reports, while the numbers are accurate, his claims of success in reducing the deficit rely on distorting the truth.
President Joe Biden has been taking credit for reducing the federal budget deficit, the annual gap between the money the government takes in and the money the government spends.
“Let me remind you again: I reduced the federal deficit,” Biden said in a speech on Wednesday. “All the talk about the deficit from my Republican friends, I love it. I’ve reduced it $350 billion in my first year in office. And we’re on track to reduce it, by the end of September, by another 1 trillion, 500 billion dollars—the largest drop ever.”
Biden’s figures for both the 2021 fiscal year (which ran through last September) and the ongoing 2022 fiscal year (which runs through the coming September) are accurate, though the $1.5 trillion figure for 2022 is a projection. But some experts on fiscal policy say Biden is distorting reality when he claims that he is personally responsible for the deficit going down.
The deficit has been smaller under the Biden administration than it was at the end of President Donald Trump’s tenure. But the deficit has been bigger under the Biden administration than the nonpartisan federal Congressional Budget Office had projected it would be if the Biden-era federal government stuck with the laws that were in effect when Trump left office in early 2021.
Distorted Reality
It’s possible to determine if President Biden’s claim of success in shrinking the budget deficit is true. We need to compare the government’s actual deficits to what they would be if none of his fiscal policies were ever implemented.
That’s why the CBO’s February 2021’s budget projections are important. They provide a good estimate of how big the deficit would be without any impact from President Biden’s fiscal policies. We can use these estimates to evaluate how much true success President Biden has had in shrinking the deficit.
I’ve done that in the chart below for President Biden’s first year in office. It compares President Biden’s actual budget deficit for the government’s 2021 fiscal year with the CBO’s projection. I’ve compared both these figures with the federal government’s actual budget deficit for its 2020 fiscal year.
The U.S. government’s budget deficit would have been much smaller had President Biden’s fiscal policies never been implemented. President Biden’s budget deficit was $360 billion smaller than the 2020 fiscal year’s deficit, which had exploded because of the coronavirus pandemic. But without President Biden’s new spending, the deficit was on track to shrink by at least $874 billion.
It Could Have Been Even Better
With many states lifting their COVID lockdowns in 2021, the U.S. economy recovered more quickly than the CBO had forecast. The U.S. government took in $540 billion more in revenue than the CBO projected once these economic shackles were removed.
Had President Biden not increased the government’s total spending by $1.054 trillion, the budget deficit could have shrank by $1.414 trillion. That would truly have been a remarkable deficit shrinking success.
But he didn’t. President Biden’s claims of success depend on nobody paying close attention to what he’s saying. Because if they do, once they see through the sham, they cannot unsee it.

Corporate income taxes rose 31 percent, or $28 billion, to $117 billion.”
“This flood of taxpayer dollars — which CBO estimates will hit $4.53 trillion this year — would not so long ago have been more than adequate to fund Washington’s spending needs,” the editors added. “The federal government in fiscal 2019 spent $4.4 trillion.”
Biden’s 2023 budget calls for $5.8 trillion in spending, which is way too high.
His plan includes increasing the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent, thereby making American businesses among the highest taxed in the industrialized world
The president would also allow the current individual tax cuts to expire in 2025 and impose a 20 percent wealth tax on those with assets of $100 million or more.
As the Wall Street Journal board concluded, “The current tax system is throwing off revenue to spend if the politicians would show a modicum of restraint. Yet the Biden Administration is proposing $2.5 trillion in tax increases over 10 years.
“That would take the tax share of GDP to new records, and it’s the last thing that taxpayers or the economy need.”
The Trump tax cuts are working, and the best thing Biden could do is leave well enough alone.

Biden budget’s omission of tax cut renewals leaves deficit hole
The administration’s budget math rests on a key assumption: that Republicans’ 2017 tax cuts will be allowed to expire on schedule after 2025
President Joe Biden made deficit reduction a top priority in his election year budget request, promising $1 trillion in savings over the next decade.
That pivot comes after Biden’s first year in office saw a pricey pandemic relief package shower U.S. households with cash, stimulating consumer demand and ultimately helping to stoke the inflation Democrats are now trying to tamp down ahead of the midterms.
“The deficit went up every year under my predecessor,” Biden said upon introducing his budget on March 28. “My administration is turning that around.”
But the administration’s budget math rests on a key assumption: that Republicans’ 2017 tax cuts will be allowed to expire on schedule after 2025. The problem for Democrats is that most of those tax cuts would have to be extended to honor Biden’s pledge not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year.
Estimates vary, and they will depend on potential offsets and how the various provisions affect each other’s cost if extended together. But it would likely take somewhere between $1 trillion and $2 trillion to ensure a basic extension of the GOP tax cuts shielding middle- and lower-income households from higher taxes, based on a CQ Roll Call analysis of Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation data.
That’s in line with estimates from groups like the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which found that filling a similar hole in last year’s Biden budget could cost around $1.4 trillion, including added interest payments on the debt. With the addition of another year in the budget window beyond the tax provisions’ 2025 expiration, CRFB analysts say that figure could grow to $1.7 trillion.
Child tax credit, ‘SALT’
That figure would come down somewhat if more generous estate tax parameters aren’t extended and deductions for owners of “pass-through” businesses like partnerships and S corporations are limited for those making above $400,000. But it doesn’t factor in renewing the expanded child tax credit that was a signature policy in last year’s COVID-19 aid package; extending that permanently would cost another $1 trillion over a decade, although scaled-back versions have been discussed.
Meanwhile, permanently extending a big cost-saver in the 2017 law — a $10,000 cap on state and local tax, or “SALT,” deductions — seems unlikely given that most Democrats oppose it. Lifting that cap to $80,000 as in the House-passed “Build Back Better” budget reconciliation bill, for instance, would cost more than $50 billion a year, the JCT estimated.
Extending other popular provisions, like full and immediate expensing of business equipment purchases and research and development costs — the latter has already lapsed — would add to the price tag. All together, it’s easy to see how a plausible package to extend the bulk of the expiring 2017 tax cuts could push north of $2 trillion, including debt service.
The administration’s budget baseline assumes most Build Back Better policies would be enacted. But that bill would extend the larger child credit only through 2022 while keeping in place full R&D expensing through 2025. And it would make permanent the 2017 law’s limits on pass-through business loss deductions, using up a roughly $200 billion offset if enacted this year, without touching the other major tax cuts coming up for renewal in a few years.
Republicans already have begun accusing Biden of violating his pledge not to raise taxes for most Americans by proposing a budget that would let the GOP tax cuts expire.
“That is going to raise taxes on every average … American by $2,000 a year, and those are people making less than $100,000 a year,” Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, the top Republican on the House Budget Committee, said at a Tuesday hearing on Biden’s request.
White House budget director Shalanda D. Young, who testified at the hearing, acknowledged the budget assumes the 2017 tax cuts would expire but offered no comment on that assumption.
An administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said in an email that Biden “has committed and continues to commit that individuals making under $400,000 a year will not have to pay a single dollar more in taxes — and that remains true under the President’s Budget.”
The official pointed out the tax cuts don’t expire until 2025 and said Biden “looks forward to using that time to work with Congress to continue reforming our tax code so that it asks the wealthy to pay their fair share, raises the right amount of revenue, and protects low and middle-income families.”
Broad-based benefits
The sweeping 2017 tax law cut taxes on average for all U.S. households, not just those at the top.
The law lowered most individual income tax rates and roughly doubled the standard deduction. It increased the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000 per child and increased the income thresholds to widen eligibility.
It also removed millions of middle-class households from the reach of the alternative minimum tax, which was enacted in 1969 to keep the wealthy from avoiding tax but not indexed for inflation. It created a 20 percent deduction for business owners who file their tax returns as individuals, which has proved popular despite its complexity.
At the time the law passed, the JCT found that during the years most of its provisions were in effect, around half of the total benefits would flow to households earning less than $200,000.
But to fit the provisions into the fiscal box created by budget reconciliation rules, Republicans had to ensure the total package didn’t cost more than $1.5 trillion over a decade. So they set many of the priciest provisions to expire after 2025 to save money.
The expiration of the tax cuts in less than four years sets up a potential clash within Congress that some are likening to the “fiscal cliff” at the end of 2012, when then-President Barack Obama, a Democratic-controlled Senate and GOP-controlled House faced off against each other over a series of expiring tax cuts enacted when George W. Bush was president.
“Politically, I think it’s going to be similar where lawmakers are going to want to try to negotiate some sort of deal that prevents some sort of cliff that is going to have political ramifications for them,” said Kyle Pomerleau, a senior fellow at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute. “Now what that negotiation looks like will depend on who’s the president, who’s in Congress.”
The Biden budget’s $1 trillion deficit reduction figure is likely to grow to some degree once an updated baseline that incorporates higher spending in the fiscal 2022 omnibus appropriations law is factored in. But whatever the final number ends up being, it would likely be erased, and then some, if the Biden budget accounted for extending the 2017 tax cuts.
Pomerleau said he doesn’t fault the Biden budget for assuming the tax cuts expire, since that’s what will happen under current law unless Congress makes a change. But he agrees that if the tax cuts were extended, “it would wipe out the deficit savings that [Biden] is projecting.”
Even if his budget projections prove faulty, Biden claimed he has already proven himself a deficit hawk. This year’s deficit, he noted, is on track to be $1.3 trillion lower than last year’s. “That would be the largest one-year reduction in the deficit in U.S. history,” he said.
Republicans dismissed that boast, noting that the reduction is largely the result of emergency pandemic spending coming to an end. Democrats approved $1.9 trillion in pandemic aid last year without a single Republican vote.
As a consequence, Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, said at a Budget Committee hearing last week that the claimed deficit reduction “is comparable to an arsonist taking credit for containing a fire by refraining from dousing it with more gasoline.”

Russia gas payment decree does not change much - Italy minister
By Stephen Jewkes and Francesca Landini
MILAN, April 1 (Reuters) - An order by Russian President Vladimir Putin cutting off gas buyers unless they pay in roubles does not seem to alter things that much, Italy's Ecology Transition Minister said on Friday.
"If things remain like this, not a lot will change... Putin could show that the Europeans are paying in roubles and Europe could pay in euros," Roberto Cingolani told state broadcaster RAI.
Moscow issued a decree on Thursday requiring foreign buyers of Russian gas to open rouble accounts in state-run Gazprombank from Friday to allow foreign currency to be converted to roubles or else risk being cut-off.
Cingolani said if details came to light in the Kremlin order that ran counter to sanctions or contractual commitments then there could clearly be complications.
"At the moment it does not seem to be like that," he said.
The Kremlin said on Friday it would not immediately turn off gas exports to Europe as payments on deliveries due after April 1 come in the second half of this month and May.
Gas giant Gazprom said it had started sending requests for clients to switch to the rouble payment scheme.
State-controlled energy group Eni is one of Europe's biggest buyers of Russian gas, holding long-term contracts with Gazprom that expire in 2035.
It said on Friday it had received a communication from Gazprom regarding the Russian company's request to switch the currency of gas payments to roubles.
"We are analysing it," a spokesman said.
On Friday government sources denied reports in some Italian papers that Rome was considering ramping up the state of early warning introduced in late February to a state of alert.
Italy, which sources about 40% of its gas imports from Russia, has been scrambling to find alternatives and diversify its supply mix following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Italy's Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio visited Azerbaijan on Friday to strengthen energy ties between the two countries.
"We are working to sign very soon contracts with other countries that can replace very rapidly the roughly 29 billion cubic metres of gas we import from Russia," Cingolani said.
Should Russian gas be stopped today, Italy would not have many problems in the coming warmer months, he said.
On Thursday Prime Minister Mario Draghi said that while replacing 30-40% of Russian supplies could be done immediately, it would be much harder to replace the rest. (Reporting by Stephen Jewkes and Francesca Landini, editing by Giulia Segreti, Philippa Fletcher and Keith Weir)

Italy Is Ready to Halt Russian Gas Payments If EU Finds a Violation
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Italy will refuse to comply with new gas-payment terms demanded by Moscow if the European Union concludes that doing so would breach sanctions related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter.
In a preliminary assessment, the EU found that the Kremlin’s payment terms were a clear violation of the bloc’s sanctions. The Italian government is waiting for Brussels to finalize its legal analysis before taking any action, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the process is private.
President Vladimir Putin has threatened to halt gas supplies to buyers that don’t comply with the decree, which involves Russia’s Gazprom PJSC receiving payments in rubles. The loss of those energy supplies would pose a serious threat to the EU, which gets 40% of its gas from Russia.
A spokesperson for the Italian government said they welcome the commission’s ongoing work on the matter but wouldn’t elaborate because the assessment is still preliminary.
On March 31, Putin issued a decree stipulating that “unfriendly” buyers of its gas open two accounts, one in a foreign currency and one in rubles, with Gazprombank. The Russian bank would convert the foreign currency payments into rubles before transferring the payment to Gazprom, the state-owned gas company.
A preliminary analysis by lawyers for the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, found that payments using this system would violate the bloc’s sanctions, according to a person familiar with the matter. Lawyers for the European Council, the institution composed of the leaders of the 27 member states, concurred with the commission’s assessment, another person said.
Last week, the Dutch government told energy companies in the Netherlands to refuse the new Russian payment terms, citing the EU assessment. Member states including Italy are continuing to scrutinize the report, and Moscow could still provide clarifications or adjustments to the terms.
The EU is racing to find alternative energy sources as it seeks to become less reliant on Moscow. During a Tuesday call with U.S., European and Asian allies, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi pushed the leaders to speed up the process of diversifying gas imports from Russia, one of the people said.
Separately, Italy is set to announce new energy deals with the Republic of Congo and Angola this week which could bring Italy an additional 5 billion cubic meters and 1.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year, respectively, the people said. Together with the extra volume it secured from Algeria, that would replace more than half the amount it gets from Russia as early as next year.

'I am an athlete and I just want to race competitively again': Trans cyclist Emily Bridges speaks out after British Championship ban saying, 'No one should have to choose between being who they are and participating in the sport they love'
A transgender cyclist said that she just wants to race competitively again, after being told that she was not eligible to participate in upcoming championships.
Emily Bridges, 21, was hoping to race in the British National Omnium Championships tomorrow.
But she was told on Wednesday that she was no longer deemed eligible.

'Despite the public announcement, I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations,' she said in a statement.
'I am an athlete, and I just want to race competitively again, within the Regulations set by British Cycling and UCI after careful consideration of the research around transgender athletes.
'No one should have to choose between being who they are, and participating in the sport that they love.'
Ms Bridges has yet to race in the female category and said that she has been judged 'despite a total lack of evidence against me, purely because I am trans'.
She said that she has requested clarity around her 'alleged ineligibility' and hopes that the decision will be reconsidered.
She added: 'Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this, your messages have meant the world this past 10 days.'
Yesterday, Ms Bridges' aunt told MailOnline that barring her niece from competing against Olympic hero Dame Laura Kenny and other women is 'unfair'.
Sharron Davies said: 'It’s not transphobic to want fair sport - it’s anti-female to not'.
Female riders threatened to pull out of the National Omnium Championships in Derby tomorrow before Miss Bridges was blocked from racing against them because she had competed as a man until a few weeks ago.
Ms Davies, the former Olympic swimming star, accused the sport's ruling bodies of 'a blatant fudge'.
She said: 'I think the very serious threat of a boycott helped hugely to concentrate their minds and cause intervention, but I'm being positive we are turning a corner. Sport is all about fairness there are ways to have inclusion without sacrificing Women's sport.
'It would not have been fair to ask Laura Kenny and the other women cyclists that Bridges would have come up against to have to race a rival with the advantages of a biological man.
'No amount of testosterone reduction can mitigate that, but we're being told to turn a blind eye to science and biology, to keep quiet and suck it up'.

Transgender cyclist Emily Bridges has hit back at the sport’s governing body following its decision to prevent her from competing at this weekend’s British National Omnium Championships.
In a statement, the 21-year-old accused the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) of not following their own rules and failing to provide clarity over the reasons for her exclusion.
Bridges was set to compete in the Championships against some of Britain’s best female riders, including five-time Olympic champion Dame Laura Kenny, but on Wednesday the UCI informed British Cycling that she could not take part.
‘Despite the public announcement, I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations,’ she said.
‘I just want to race competitively again within the regulations set by British Cycling and UCI after careful consideration of the research around transgender athletes. No one should have to choose between being who they are and participating in the sport that they love.
‘I am in contact with British Cycling and UCI requesting clarity around my alleged ineligibility, and I hope they will reconsider their decision in line with the regulations.’
Bridges added that as a result of hormone therapy, part of her gender dysphoria treatment, her testosterone levels had been below the required limit for ‘the last 12 months’, and that she had been in contact with both governing bodies for the past six months, providing them with medical evidence to ensure that she would be allowed to race.
The debate surrounding transgender athletes has been divisive and Bridges also took time to highlight the abuse she has received, saying: ‘[I have been] relentlessly harassed and demonised by those who have a specific agenda to push.
‘This is despite the fact that I have not yet raced in the female category.’

Female riders threatened to pull out of the National Omnium Championships in Derby tomorrow before Miss Bridges was blocked from racing against them because she had competed as a man until a few weeks ago.
Ms Davies, the former Olympic swimming star, accused the sport's ruling bodies of 'a blatant fudge'.
She said: 'I think the very serious threat of a boycott helped hugely to concentrate their minds and cause intervention, but I'm being positive we are turning a corner. Sport is all about fairness there are ways to have inclusion without sacrificing Women's sport.
'It would not have been fair to ask Laura Kenny and the other women cyclists that Bridges would have come up against to have to race a rival with the advantages of a biological man.
'No amount of testosterone reduction can mitigate that, but we're being told to turn a blind eye to science and biology, to keep quiet and suck it up'.

Transgender cyclist Emily Bridges ‘harassed and demonised’ after being excluded from competition
Transgender cyclist Emily Bridges has said she has been “harassed and demonised” after being prevented from racing in a women’s event this weekend.
Bridges, 21, had been due to race against the likes of Dame Laura Kenny at the National Omnium Championships in Derby this weekend, her first race in the female category, but on Wednesday evening British Cycling announced that world governing body the UCI had ruled her ineligible.
It is understood that although British Cycling had accepted she had met the requirements – current transgender regulations require riders to have had testosterone levels below five nanomoles per litre for a 12-month period prior to competition – the UCI has not yet granted her switch in licence.
In a statement on social media, Bridges expressed frustration at the process, saying she had been in contact with both British Cycling and the UCI for the last six months, providing the medical evidence necessary, and has not yet been given a full explanation of this week’s decision.
“Despite the public announcement, I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations,” Bridges wrote.
“I am an athlete, and I just want to race competitively again, within the regulations set by British Cycling and UCI after careful consideration of the research around transgender athletes.
“No one should have to choose between being who they are, and participating in the sport they love.”
Bridges, who was on British Cycling’s senior academy in 2019, came out as a transgender woman in October 2020. She had continued to compete as a male during her transition, and in February won the men’s points race at the British Universities’ championships in February.
In 2018, Bridges set a national junior men’s record over 25 miles, registering a time which was two minutes faster than any senior female rider has delivered before or since, and her entry into this weekend’s championships sparked a debate over whether it was fair for her to compete.
In Friday’s statement, Bridges added: “As is no surprise with most of the British media, I’ve been relentlessly harassed and demonised by those who have a specific agenda to push.
“They attack anything that isn’t the norm and print whatever is most likely to result in the highest engagement for their articles, and bring in advertising.
“This is without care for the wellbeing of individuals or marginalised groups, and others are left to pick up the pieces due to their actions.”
Bridges said she had remained in contact with British Cycling and the UCI and was seeking an answer on her eligibility.
Earlier this week, UCI president David Lappartient had raised the question of fairness and told the BBC he was concerned about whether current regulations on transgender athletes go far enough.
“In cycling, in swimming, in athletics, the question of fair competition is really a question we must put on the table,” he said. “Is it a right to take part when you do the transition at the highest level or do we have to see if this will affect the fairness of competition?”

'I am an athlete and I just want to race competitively again': Trans cyclist Emily Bridges speaks out after British Championship ban saying, 'No one should have to choose between being who they are and participating in the sport they love'
A transgender cyclist said that she just wants to race competitively again, after being told that she was not eligible to participate in upcoming championships.
Emily Bridges, 21, was hoping to race in the British National Omnium Championships tomorrow.
But she was told on Wednesday that she was no longer deemed eligible.

'Despite the public announcement, I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations,' she said in a statement.

'No one should have to choose between being who they are, and participating in the sport that they love.'
Ms Bridges has yet to race in the female category and said that she has been judged 'despite a total lack of evidence against me, purely because I am trans'.
She said that she has requested clarity around her 'alleged ineligibility' and hopes that the decision will be reconsidered.
She added: 'Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this, your messages have meant the world this past 10 days.'

A biological male cyclist who now hopes to compete as a female was blocked from a British Championship race after several female competitors threatened a boycott.
Emily Bridges, who originally competed under his birth name of Zach Bridges, was denied entry to the women’s British National Omnium Championship last weekend, the BBC reported.
It would have been Bridges’ first significant race after reportedly transitioning. But the cyclist was deemed “ineligible” to compete by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and British Cycling.
Bridges, 21, told the media that he still doesn’t understand being excluded and added, “I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations,” according to Cycling News.
“For the last six months, I have been in contact with British Cycling and the Union Cycliste Internationale over the eligibility criteria I would need to meet as a transgender woman in order to race in the female category at the British National Omnium Championships this Saturday, 2 April 2022,” Bridges said. “In that time, I have provided both British Cycling and UCI with medical evidence that I meet the eligibility criteria for transgender female cyclists, including that my testosterone level has been far below the limit prescribed by the Regulations for the last 12 months.”
UCI regulations require transgender cyclists to have testosterone levels below five nanomoles per liter for an entire year before competing in the women’s category.
However, the rules also state that the organization must “protect health and safety” and “guarantee fair and meaningful competition that displays and rewards the fundamental values and meaning of the sport.”
It is, perhaps, those provisions that the organization relied upon to exclude Bridges from the event after several female cyclists openly discussed boycotting the event if Bridges were allowed to compete. Though no one wanted to go public because “they feared voicing their opinions would be interpreted as transphobic,” the BBC wrote.
The cycling organizations also cited Bridges’ registration as a male cyclist, which had not yet lapsed, and insisted that he cannot compete as a female until that registration expires.
The TCA decried the “harassment” aimed at Bridges. The group told Cycling News, “The Cyclists’ Alliance will support and treat Emily Bridges with the kindness, dignity, and respect that she deserves as a person. We do not condone the harassment that Emily has received.”
The group also attacked the UCI, saying, “existing UCI transgender guidelines are insufficient and need to be addressed.”
“We believe that the UCI and British Cycling have demonstrated unfairness by not adhering to their own eligibility criteria set (for those who transition from male to female to compete in the women’s category) and ask for transparent clarification to be given to Emily Bridges on their decision,” the TCA added.
In September, Bridges finished a distance 43rd out of 45 cyclists in the men’s criterium at the Loughborough Cycling Festival and finished second to last during the Welsh National Championship road race. In February, Bridges finally won a men’s points race at the British Universities Championships in Glasgow.
Bridges pleaded to be accepted as a woman in a statement.
“I am an athlete, and I just want to race competitively again, within the Regulations set by British Cycling and UCI after careful consideration of the research around transgender athletes,” Bridges said in a statement. “No one should have to choose between being who they are, and participating in the sport that they love.”
