RICHMOND, Va. -- I'janee Tunstall used to watch videos on her phone after school out of pure boredom.
"I really didn't have nothing to do. I would be on my phone or watch TV," Tunstall said.
Now, instead of scrolling, Tunstall is featured in posts living her best life at Lucille Brown Middle School's after-school program.
"At first I didn't want to, but everybody was hyping me up, so then I did it," Tunstall said.
The program is called Next Up RVA and is free for all Richmond Public Schools (RPS) middle school students, with the exception of Binford students who have their own after-school program.
It works with community partners who provide programming and give kids something to do after school.
"We talk about empowerment, respect, caring, sometimes we have caring conversations about our feelings, life," Tunstall said.
NextUp RVA is a non-profit that launched at Henderson Middle School in 2014. Since then, nearly 2,000 Richmond students have participated.
"Middle school was kind of like that last stop where we can really intervene and keep kids on a positive path," Barbara Sipe, the President and CEO of Next Up RVA, said.
Sipe said new data showed just how influential this programming can be.
"What we've seen year over year, like every year since our pilot, is that kids who are participating in the after-school programs are doing better, they have better school day attendance, they have better school behavior," Sipe said.
In fact, data shows a 92 percent on-time graduation rate among kids who participated in the first class of NextUp RVA versus a 78.8 graduation rate in RPS as a whole.
"What we want to see is for the entire community, the entire region, to understand how important it is that schools can't do it alone, out of school time matters," Sipe said.
It matters not only for straight-A students like Tunstall but also for kids who struggle in class.
"And so what we know is that those students benefited the most from the after-school program," Sipe said. "They showed the greatest improvement and graduated on time."
NextUp RVA is funded through dollars from the city and state and private donations, money Tunstall said helped her learn a very important lesson.
"To be myself around other people because trying to not be yourself around other people might not be a good thing and when people learn who you really are that's what it's really about," Tunstall said.

RISE after-school programme gets $500,000 boost
Imaging and Intervention Associates has donated $500,000 to RISE (Reaching Individuals through Skills and Education) Life Management Services, towards its after-school programme.
The initiative, dubbed ‘Personal Development and Educational Enrichment Programme’ (PDEEP), is a proactive response to the rising crime and violence in Parade Gardens, central Kingston.
A zone of special operations (ZOSO) was imposed in the community, due to increased murders and other major crimes.
The programme will target 20 children, ages eight to 12, from warring segments in the community – Tel Aviv and Southside.
PDEEP will also seek to address the learning loss by these students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A literacy specialist will formally assess the literacy level of students and seek to improve this by at least one grade level.
Founding partner of Imaging and Intervention Associates and consultant cardiac radiologist, Dr Duane Chambers, told The Gleaner that the radiology company has been operating in downtown Kingston for about six years.
UPLIFTING PEOPLE
“Part of our mandate is uplifting all the people in our community, and we couldn’t think of a better cause than contributing to the upliftment of children. So we are really thrilled to be helping RISE in this small way, but we hope it can be impactful,” he said.
RISE Executive Director Nadine Chambers Goss expressed gratitude for the donation and encouraged other companies to come on board.
“We really see the after-school programme as a vehicle to help steer children, especially at this young age, away from crime and to also just insert something a little bit more positive in their lives, especially through the fourth-day activities that we will be sharing,” Goss said.
She informed that the non-governmental organisation has received contributions from the Seprod and Musson foundations, who are both long-term supporters of RISE.
The programme will commence this summer and continue throughout the academic year, during hours when children are at the highest risk of witnessing or becoming victims of crime and violence.
Students will be engaged four days per week, three of which will be dedicated to academic work and the other to life skills training, psychosocial support and experiential activities.
RISE will also provide workshops for parents of participating children, to help create a more stable, supportive home environment.

Saudi-led coalition welcomes the 2-month truce in Yemen -state TV
CAIRO, April 1 (Reuters) - The Saudi-led coalition, which intervened in March 2015 against the Houthis, welcomed on Friday the U.N.-brokered truce in Yemen saying it supports the U.N. efforts and arrangements to keep the truce, Saudi state TV reported.
The warring sides in Yemen's seven-year conflict have for the first time in years agreed on a nationwide truce, which would also allow fuel imports into Houthi-held areas and some flights operating from Sanaa airport, the United Nations envoy said on Friday.

Saudi Arabia welcomes UN-backed 2-month truce in Yemen
The Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry welcomed on Saturday a two-month truce in Yemen announced by the United Nations, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
- Country:
- Saudi Arabia
Riyadh [Saudi Arabia], April 2 (ANI/Xinhua): The Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry welcomed on Saturday a two-month truce in Yemen announced by the United Nations, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg announced on Friday the two-month truce, which will become effective at 7 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) on Saturday, through which all forms of military operations inside Yemen and on the Saudi-Yemeni borders shall be halted.
In appreciation of the efforts exerted by the UN special envoy, the Saudi ministry said the truce comes in the context of a Saudi initiative, first announced in March 2021, to reach a comprehensive political solution to the Yemeni crisis. The Yemeni Houthi rebels have also expressed welcome to the UN-backed truce, which comes just days after the Houthis announced a unilateral three-day cease-fire with the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
Under the truce, the warring sides have agreed to allow fuel ships to enter ports in the Hodeidah region and commercial flights to operate from the airport in the Houthi-held capital Sanaa for humanitarian purposes. The nationwide truce, which coincides with the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, is probably the first of its kind in the Yemeni civil war since late 2014.
It is worth noting that the Yemeni peace talks, backed by the United Nations and the Gulf Cooperation Council, started in Riyadh with a closed-door meeting on Tuesday and are expected to continue until April 7. Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014 when the Iran-backed Houthi militia seized control of several northern provinces and forced the Saudi-backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of Sanaa.
The war has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced 4 million, and pushed the country to the brink of starvation, according to the United Nations. (ANI/Xinhua)

HUNTINGTON — When former Marshall women's basketball standout Savannah Wheeler announced she was entering the NCAA transfer portal recently, she did so trying to find the right recipe for success for her final two years of college eligibility.
As it turns out, Wheeler's recipe for success involved the league in which she's competed for her first three collegiate seasons.
On Friday morning, Wheeler confirmed she has committed to Middle Tennessee — Marshall's former Conference USA East division rival — to continue her basketball career.
"It's one of the toughest decisions I've ever made in basketball, but I felt like when I visited there, I just felt like it checked off all the boxes that I was looking for," Wheeler said. "I just feel like it was a really great opportunity for me."
Wheeler will return to C-USA, where she led the league in scoring in the 2021-22 season, averaging 20.3 points en route to being a Conference USA first-team selection for the Thundering Herd.
As Marshall transitions to the Sun Belt Conference for 2022-23, Wheeler returns to a league with which she's familiar while playing for the C-USA's most established program for her final two seasons of eligibility.
In the end, Wheeler cited the opportunity to win and play in major postseason basketball as a huge factor in the decision to leave Marshall — a team just 20 minutes away from her home in Catlettsburg, Kentucky — for the Blue Raiders.
"My ultimate goal is to produce the best that I can for them, but I just want to win," Wheeler said. "They lose one person and with everybody coming back. Ultimately, I felt like it was the best fit for me."
Middle Tennessee's season ended with a 27-8 record after Thursday night's 74-73 loss to Seton Hall in the WNIT semifinals at the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
"For these next two years, I want to be put in that position," Wheeler said of playing postseason tournament basketball. "I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I want that opportunity. I just think when I looked, that really stood out to me."
It was Middle Tennessee's first home loss since Wheeler and the Herd defeated the Blue Raiders 74-49 on March 4, 2021. Wheeler had 22 points in that win.
The lone player that Middle Tennessee loses from its 27-win team is point guard Dor Saar, whose role Wheeler will look to fill.
While the move is away from home in some ways for Wheeler, she said the feel was similar to home as she made her visit to Murfreesboro this week.
"The people in the Huntington community have made a positive impact in my life and when I was at Middle, it gave me the same feeling," Wheeler said. "I knew then I was home."
There is another "home" aspect that played a large role in Wheeler's decision: the opportunity to be closer to her sister, Taylor.
While Wheeler's parents live in Catlettsburg, her older sister lives just two hours from Murfreesboro in Greensburg, Kentucky, which means the move to Middle Tennessee allows her to be closer with family — especially her niece and soon-to-be-born nephew.
"I can visit my niece and my soon-to-be nephew whenever I can," Wheeler said.
Wheeler's time at Marshall ends with her finishing in the top 10 in program history in several categories.
In three years, Wheeler scored 1,294 points, which was good for ninth all-time in Marshall history. She knocked down 143 3-pointers, which placed her third.
Wheeler was known for getting to the free-throw line, as well. Her free throw percentage of 83.4% ranks second all-time in Marshall history. She hit 367 free throws (sixth all-time) and attempted 440 (eighth all-time).
Marshall was 15-13 overall this season while winning 10 games in conference play for only the second time in the 17-year history of membership in C-USA.

"For these next two years, I want to be put in that position," Wheeler said of playing postseason tournament basketball. "I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I want that opportunity. I just think when I looked, that really stood out to me."
It was Middle Tennessee's first home loss since Wheeler and the Herd defeated the Blue Raiders 74-49 on March 4, 2021. Wheeler had 22 points in that win.
The lone player that Middle Tennessee loses from its 27-win team is point guard Dor Saar, whose role Wheeler will look to fill.
While the move is away from home in some ways for Wheeler, she said the feel was similar to home as she made her visit to Murfreesboro this week.
"The people in the Huntington community have made a positive impact in my life and when I was at Middle, it gave me the same feeling," Wheeler said. "I knew then I was home."
There is another "home" aspect that played a large role in Wheeler's decision: the opportunity to be closer to her sister, Taylor.
While Wheeler's parents live in Catlettsburg, her older sister lives just two hours from Murfreesboro in Greensburg, Kentucky, which means the move to Middle Tennessee allows her to be closer with family — especially her niece and soon-to-be-born nephew.
"I can visit my niece and my soon-to-be nephew whenever I can," Wheeler said.
Wheeler's time at Marshall ends with her finishing in the top 10 in program history in several categories.
In three years, Wheeler scored 1,294 points, which was good for ninth all-time in Marshall history. She knocked down 143 3-pointers, which placed her third.
Wheeler was known for getting to the free-throw line, as well. Her free throw percentage of 83.4% ranks second all-time in Marshall history. She hit 367 free throws (sixth all-time) and attempted 440 (eighth all-time).
Marshall was 15-13 overall this season while winning 10 games in conference play for only the second time in the 17-year history of membership in C-USA.

Savannah Wheeler saw something in the Middle Tennessee program that she couldn’t pass up.
Wheeler entered the transfer portal after a successful sophomore campaign at Marshall.
She led Conference USA in scoring at 20.3 points a game, ranked 17th nationally, and was named to the all-conference first team.
Marshall finished with a 15-13 record in 2021-22 and a 10-8 mark in Conference USA.
Once the season concluded, Wheeler felt a change was needed.
“I just felt like for me, at the end of the day, I was just wanting more from a player perspective,” said Wheeler, the 2019 Kentucky Miss Basketball. “Middle Tennessee has a great coaching staff. They advanced to the National Invitational Tournament. They were one of eight teams in the nation still playing (in the final week). A lot of their players are returning next year.”
“When I was down there, it felt like family,” she added. “The support system for women’s basketball there really stood out there. I had the same feeling in the Huntington community. When I was on my visit at Middle, it was the same atmosphere.”
The Blue Raiders won 27 games this year and finished 14-4 in Conference USA, one game back of Charlotte in the East Division.
Middle Tennessee received an invitation to the WNIT and reached the semifinals before falling to Seton Hall, 74-73.
The Blue Raiders averaged 68.3 points a game and gave up 57.2 a night, both marks were second in the conference. Middle Tennessee brings back three of their leading scorers, including Kseniya Malashka, who posted 13.6 points a game.
Middle Tennessee coach Rick Insell, who completed his 17th season on the Blue Raiders sideline, has seen Wheeler’s talents as a competitor, and now looks forward to coaching her. Wheeler still has two more years of eligibility remaining.
“We are delighted to have Savannah Wheeler joining the Lady Raider family,” Insell said on the team’s website. “Savannah is an outstanding player, and we know that first-hand having played against her the last three seasons at Marshall. Savannah is a solid all-around guard, a great shooter, a competitor and she is going to be a great addition to the Lady Raider program.”
Wheeler will stay in Conference USA as the league shuffles nine teams out and prepares for several newcomers. She said it did not factor in her decision. The all-conference player wanted to find the best fit for her.
Wheeler also looks forward to be closer, geographically, to her sister, Taylor, who lives in Greenburg, Kentucky, a short drive from her new campus in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
“I’m five hours away from home and it’s still in driving distance,” Wheeler said. “Another great part of the journey, I’m only two hours away from my sister. I can visit on the weekend and see my niece and soon-to-be nephew.”
Wheeler recently stated on social media that she will always appreciate her time at Marshall.
“I’d like to first say thank you to all of my coaches at Marshall University,” Wheeler said, “for giving me the opportunity to play the sport that I love. I am forever grateful for the staff, my teammates and the community for a great three years.”

HUNTINGTON — When former Marshall women's basketball standout Savannah Wheeler announced she was entering the NCAA transfer portal recently, she did so trying to find the right recipe for success for her final two years of college eligibility.
As it turns out, Wheeler's recipe for success involved the league in which she's competed for her first three collegiate seasons.
On Friday morning, Wheeler confirmed she has committed to Middle Tennessee — Marshall's former Conference USA East division rival — to continue her basketball career.
"It's one of the toughest decisions I've ever made in basketball, but I felt like when I visited there, I just felt like it checked off all the boxes that I was looking for," Wheeler said. "I just feel like it was a really great opportunity for me."
Wheeler will return to C-USA, where she led the league in scoring in the 2021-22 season, averaging 20.3 points en route to being a Conference USA first-team selection for the Thundering Herd.
As Marshall transitions to the Sun Belt Conference for 2022-23, Wheeler returns to a league with which she's familiar while playing for the C-USA's most established program for her final two seasons of eligibility.
In the end, Wheeler cited the opportunity to win and play in major postseason basketball as a huge factor in the decision to leave Marshall — a team just 20 minutes away from her home in Catlettsburg, Kentucky — for the Blue Raiders.
"My ultimate goal is to produce the best that I can for them, but I just want to win," Wheeler said. "They lose one person and with everybody coming back. Ultimately, I felt like it was the best fit for me."
Middle Tennessee's season ended with a 27-8 record after Thursday night's 74-73 loss to Seton Hall in the WNIT semifinals at the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
"For these next two years, I want to be put in that position," Wheeler said of playing postseason tournament basketball. "I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I want that opportunity. I just think when I looked, that really stood out to me."
It was Middle Tennessee's first home loss since Wheeler and the Herd defeated the Blue Raiders 74-49 on March 4, 2021. Wheeler had 22 points in that win.

MTSU women's basketball adds Conference USA leading scorer Savannah Wheeler as transfer
Just a day after the season ended with a WNIT final four setback to Seton Hall, Middle Tennessee State's women's basketball team landed a significant transfer.
Savannah Wheeler, a 5-foot-6 junior guard who played at Marshall the past three seasons, signed with the Lady Raiders on Friday.
Wheeler, a first-team Conference USA selection in 2021-22, led the conference in scoring at 20.3 points.
"We are delighted to have Savannah Wheeler joining the Lady Raider family," MTSU coach Rick Insell said in a release. "Savannah is an outstanding player, and we know that first-hand having played against her the last three seasons at Marshall. Savannah is a solid all-around guard; great, great shooter; a competitor; and she is going to be a great addition to the Lady Raider program."
Wheeler also was among the top 100 nationally for field goals made, total points, free throw attempts, free throws made and free throw percentage.
She surpassed 1,000 points during the 2021-22 season. She has 1,294 career points and 143 career 3-pointers.
WNIT:MTSU women's basketball makes dramatic comeback, but falls to Seton Hall in WNIT semis
FOOTBALL:MTSU football adds UTEP, UAB, Louisiana Tech to 2022 schedule to replace teams leaving C-USA
Wheeler, who will have two years of eligibility with MTSU, averaged 13.4 points as a freshman in 2019-20, when she connected for 47 3-pointers and shot 84% from the free -throw line on her way to earning a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman team.
She averaged 17 points as a sophomore. She is a career 36% shooter from 3-point range and 84% shooter from the free throw line.
The Catlettsburg, Kentucky, native was named the state's Miss Basketball in 2019 after averaging 31.1 points for Boyd County. She scored more than 3,600 points in her high school career.
MTSU returns four starters from the 2021-22 team that finished 27-8 - forwards Courtney Whitson and Anastasiia Boldyreva and guards Alexis Whittington and Jalynn Gregory. Top reserves Kseniya Malashka (the team's leading scorer) and Courtney Blakely also return.
Point guard Dor Saar, who transferred to MTSU for a season after spending four years at Maine, is the only departure from the starting lineup.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA kicked off a critical countdown test Friday for its new moon rocket, a 30-story behemoth that could make its first lunar test flight by summer.
The two-day demonstration — the final major milestone before liftoff to the moon — will culminate Sunday as teams load nearly 1 million gallons of super-cold fuel into the rocket on the pad. The countdown will halt at the 9-second mark before engines ignite.
NASA plans to set a launch date after analyzing the results of the dress rehearsal for the Space Launch System rocket — SLS for short.
Officials have indicated the rocket could blast off as early as June, sending the attached Orion crew capsule hurtling toward the moon. The capsule will spend at least a month in space before returning to Earth.
No one will be on board for the first moonshot since NASA’s Apollo lunar landings a half-century ago. Astronauts will strap in for the second test flight slated for 2024, looping around the moon and back. That would pave the way for astronauts landing on the moon around 2025, according to NASA.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office recently warned, however, that technical challenges remain — primarily with the lunar lander and spacesuits — that could further delay the moon landing, already years behind schedule. The GAO also cited billions in escalating costs.
Towering 322 feet (98 meters), the rocket made its debut at the Kennedy Space Center launch pad two weeks ago. Since then, all of its systems have been powered up in preparation for this weekend’s test. Officials stressed that possible thunderstorms or technical problems could drag out the rehearsal.
NASA promised to provide updates throughout the weekend, but the public won't be able to listen in. The space agency cited security concerns.
“We are being cautious — an abundance of caution — and that’s particularly in the environment that we’re in nowadays,” said Tom Whitmeyer, head of NASA’s exploration systems development.
NASA expects to announce the crews for the initial lunar missions this summer. The pool of candidates includes nine men and nine women; two are at the International Space Station and two are due to arrive there in a few weeks.
Twenty-four astronauts flew to the moon during Apollo from 1968 through 1972; 12 landed on the lunar surface.
Unlike Apollo, NASA is partnering with private business for its moon program, named Artemis after Apollo’s twin sister in Greek mythology. While NASA's rocket and capsule will get astronauts into lunar orbit, SpaceX’s still-in-development Starship will carry them down to the lunar surface, at least for the first mission. NASA is seeking additional companies for later landings.
The space agency’s goal is to develop a sustainable moon presence, then aim for Mars. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson recently cited 2040 as the target for a Martian expedition with astronauts.

https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Expanded-Medicaid-for-new-mothers-begins-in-NC-17051988.php
|
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — New mothers can now receive one year of full Medicaid coverage after delivery as a new state law expanding services took effect Friday.
The 12-month coverage option was offered to states in a COVID-19 relief and stimulus package approved by Congress last year. The North Carolina state government budget approved by the General Assembly in November and signed by Gov. Roy Cooper accepted that offer.
Until now, women whose households received up to nearly twice the poverty level could receive 60 days of post-partum coverage.
Most pregnant women and those whose pregnancies have ended also will receive full Medicaid benefits, and not just maternity-focused benefits previously provided, the state Department of Health and Human Services said.
The expanded services also can now be accessed by anyone currently pregnant or who gave birth between Feb. 1 and March 31, DHHS said in a news release, and otherwise qualifies based on income.
This extended coverage is currently authorized for five years.
The state's cost share for the enrollment coverage, anticipated to be roughly $50 million annually, will be paid for through increased hospital assesments receipts, budget documents say. The federal government pays the remainder.

The 12-month coverage option was offered to states in a COVID-19 relief and stimulus package approved by Congress last year. The North Carolina state government budget approved by the General Assembly in November and signed by Gov. Roy Cooper accepted that offer.
Until now, women whose households received up to nearly twice the poverty level could receive 60 days of post-partum coverage.
Most pregnant women and those whose pregnancies have ended also will receive full Medicaid benefits, and not just maternity-focused benefits previously provided, the state Department of Health and Human Services said.
The expanded services also can now be accessed by anyone currently pregnant or who gave birth between Feb. 1 and March 31, DHHS said in a news release, and otherwise qualifies based on income.
This extended coverage is currently authorized for five years.
The state's cost share for the enrollment coverage, anticipated to be roughly $50 million annually, will be paid for through increased hospital assesments receipts, budget documents say. The federal government pays the remainder.

Former U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo was arrested Thursday in North Carolina for allegedly driving while impaired, child abuse, and resisting arrest.
According to TMZ and NBC News affiliate WXII, she allegedly had her two-year-old twins in the car with her at the time of her arrest in Winston-Salem.
The news outlet reported that Solo, who shares the children with her husband, former NFL player Jerramy Stevens, was arrested in a Walmart parking lot on Parkway Village Circle.
She was taken into custody and processed at Forsyth County detention center and subsequently released, Fox News affiliate WGHP reported.
Solo's lawyer Rich Nichols later released a statement via Hope's Twitter account.
"On the advice of counsel, Hope can't speak about this situation, but she wants everyone to know that her kids are her life, that she was released immediately and is now at home with her family, that the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that she looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges," the statement read.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist was previously arrested and charged in 2014 with two misdemeanor counts of assault in the fourth degree for allegedly assaulting two family members at a home in Washington State, the Associated Press reported.
Those charges were later dropped.

Ralf Rangnick indicated Manchester United have interviewed more than one candidate to become the club's next permanent manager.
United interviewed Ajax coach Erik ten Hag last week and French media also claimed the club had spoken to Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has long-standing ambitions to manage United.
Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui ruled himself out of the running this week while the Spain coach Luis Enrique is an unrealistic option as he is unlikely to walk away from the national team before the World Cup starts in November.
READ MORE: Ten Hag breaks silence on his future
The Manchester Evening News revealed two weeks ago Ten Hag is United's preferred choice and the Dutchman described them as a 'great club with great fans' in an interview on Friday.
Interim manager Rangnick is due to start his consultancy role from July 1 but has not discussed the merits of the candidates with football director John Murtough and technical director Darren Fletcher, who are heading up the process.
"I don’t know," Rangnick said. "I know they have spoken to some people but so far we haven’t spoken about the experience and the impressions they have got from those meetings.
"It’s not an issue for me. For me, it’s important to focus on the next games."
Rangnick does not believe United players should be demotivated for the run-in, despite Paul Pogba describing their season as 'dead'. United are certain to end a fifth consecutive campaign trophyless and have nine Premier League games to salvage Champions League qualification by finishing fourth. United are currently sixth and four points behind Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
Pogba is expected to leave United when his contract expires on June 30 when Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani are also out of contract. Irrespective of whether players are staying are going, Rangnick insists they have obvious incentives to perform over the next seven weeks.
"No," Rangnick replied at the suggestion some players could lack motivation. "Even less, for example, for players whose contracts are running out. They need to recommend themselves for this club or another club. Either way, it would not be wise for them to let the season peter out. we can’t afford that.
"Even more so a club like Manchester United and those players whose contracts are running out, they have to recommend themselves and the players who are still in contract, they have to recommend themselves to a new manager."

Man Utd targets asking Ten Hag vs Pochettino question before deciding if they want move
MAN UTD are still deciding on their next manager, with Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino understood to be the favourites.
Manchester United transfer targets are asking the club’s hierarchy who the next head coach will be before deciding their future, according to reports. The Red Devils are still interviewing candidates to become their permanent boss with Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino understood to be the favourites to win the job.
United have one eye on the summer transfer window but might be struggling to prepare a shortlist of targets without a manager in place. Ten Hag and Pochettino have entered the final stage of the hiring process and have no doubt suggested potential arrivals.
Those in charge of transfers at the club have reportedly already sounded out possible signings. But due diligence is believed to have become difficult as players want to know which manager they will be playing for.
According to The National, United want a new man in place soon so that transfer targets have clarity over the club’s short-term future. They can then plan ahead for next season.
JUST IN: Arsenal told to sign 'perfect fit' Abraham as striker teases PL return
Several reports in England have suggested that Ajax head coach Ten Hag leads the race to become the next manager. It will end a five-month search for a permanent boss following the November dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has overseen a difficult few weeks for the club, which has seen the knocked out of the Champions League and stutter in the race for the Premier League’s top four. United were lacklustre in their 1-1 draw with Leicester on Saturday.
The same publication claims that Rangnick has been told to focus on improving the team’s form in the final month of the campaign, despite that the German is supposed to move into a consultancy role within the Old Trafford hierarchy in the summer.

The former Red Bull director of football has though told the club that they must focus on improving the squad’s physicality during the off-season. He said after the draw with Leicester: “I don’t think we have a lack of character but what was obvious in some parts of the game is that we were second best with regards to physicality. It was about one on one duels.
“We spoke about that counter-attacking moment we had ourselves where they tackled us twice, within two seconds [and went on to score] and the same was true in quite a few other moments.
“Whenever there was body contact, we were too often we were second best. This is something we have to get better at for the rest of this season but even more so for the next season.”

Manchester United will reportedly carry out another two rounds of interviews before deciding on their next permanent manager.
The Red Devils are currently on the hunt for a new boss after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last November. Interim manager Ralf Rangnick, who has won nine of his 20 games in charge, is expected to start a two-year consultancy job in the summer.
United's season isn't going to plan. They're sixth in the Premier League - four points behind Arsenal in fourth having played a game more - and failed to challenge in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League. Their last major trophy was the Europa League in 2017.
Erik ten Hag has been interviewed for the United job. And, according to The Telegraph, the Ajax boss is now the "clear" favourite for the position, but United will carry out a second and final round of interviews before making their long-awaited decision.
The Red Devils have also spoken to Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino and another candidate, who is thought to be neither Spain's Luis Enrique nor Sevilla's Julen Lopetegui. Both coaches were previously in the running for the role.
Thomas Tuchel is another rumoured candidate, yet his availability remains unclear due to Chelsea's position. The Blues are currently operating under a special license amid the sanctions placed on owner Roman Abramovich, severely limiting their revenue streams.
Who should Manchester United appoint as their next manager? Let us know in the comments below!
Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government for allegedly having ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, something which he denies. Russia are currently waging a violent war in Ukraine - a sovereign state - and have been cut off by many Western nations.
Tuchel will be unable to operate in the transfer market if Chelsea's special license remains in place. But the club is currently up for sale and it's hopeful a deal can be agreed before the summer, limiting United's hopes of landing Champions League winner Tuchel.
It's believed the Red Devils will not wait to see what happens with Tuchel and the chances of a straight shootout between Ten Hag and Pochettino is good.
PSG are reportedly willing to allow Pochettino to leave - without demanding a compensation fee - after failing to win the Champions League this term. Zinedine Zidane and Didier Deschamps are both being lined up as potential replacements for Pochettino.
Compensation is also not thought to be an issue when it comes to releasing Ten Hag from his contract but there are concerns over his CV. The Dutchman has previously coached Utrecht, Go Ahead Eagles and Bayern Munich's second team. Yet United have previously appointed big-name managers - such as Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho - to no avail.
Ten Hag plays an attractive brand of football - having previously worked under Pep Guardiola - and is a serial winner, lifting two Eredivisie titles and two Dutch Cups at Ajax. He also led them to within seconds of a Champions League final, conceding a last-minute goal to Tottenham in 2018-19. Ironically, Pochettino was in charge of Spurs.

Ancient rock art site Bulagaranda Aboriginal Area, formerly Mount Yarrowyck, returned to Anaiwan people
By Jennifer Ingall and Kristy ReadingStories of the ancient Anaiwan people etched into granite outcrops high in northern New South Wales are set to become more accessible to the public.
Key points:
- A 600 hectare bushland site in northern NSW has been returned to its Aboriginal owners
- Formerly known as Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve, it will be renamed Bulagaranda Aboriginal Area
- The land features Indigenous rock art, which will be used to attract more visitors
Protected and known as the Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve since 1983, the site west of Armidale, in the New England region, has been returned to the custody of its Aboriginal owners.
The 600 hectare site will be renamed Bulagaranda Aboriginal Area, which translates to 'turkey dreaming'.
Anaiwan woman Cheryl Kitchener was part of the negotiations and said it had been an emotional journey.
"Honestly there's no words that you can actually articulate to explain the joy," she said.
The site will remain open to the public under the new agreement, which will see the land managed in partnership with the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Ms Kitchener said the priority will be upgrading an ancient art site, which is part of Anaiwan songlines.
"It's a beautiful art site that tells the story of our cultural landscape, and we can share that now in a meaningful way," she said.
Viewing platforms will be repaired and traditional foods and medicines restored to the area.
"We also want to manage the environmental impacts that have happened to the Mount Yarrowyck or Bulagaranda ... and make sure it comes back to a stage where it is healthy, spiritually and physically," Ms Kitchener said.
Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall said this agreement could pave the way for other land being returned to management of Indigenous groups.
"This is an initiative that's about preserving and enhancing our immense and rich Aboriginal culture," he said.
"It's about helping local Aboriginal people connect once more with country and allowing them to bring young Aboriginal people on to country where they have a sense of ownership and control."
Land key to self-determination
While this agreement has been decades in the making, the Anaiwan community has been proactively seeking other land around Armidale for cultural rehabilitation.
Language revival organisation Nēwara Aboriginal Corporation launched a crowdfunding campaign in January to purchase land.
Within six weeks, they had raised $350,000.
"We're one of a very small group of people in Australia that's actually gone back to buying a block of our own land that we can call our own with no government strings attached," Anaiwan man Dave Widders said.
The group took ownership of the 100 hectare block in March and plans to use it as part of a language and culture revival.

Boodjamulla National Park will be jointly managed by the Waanyi People and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service under a new plan launched on June 7.
Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the new management plan launched at parliament house in Brisbane would ensure the traditional knowledge of the area's First Nations peoples will be protected and shared for future generations, while also creating new economic, job and training opportunities.

"Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park is the heart of Waanyi Country, in the north-west highlands of western Queensland and features spectacular gorges, sandstone ranges and World Heritage fossils," Minister Scanlon said.
"The Waanyi People have lived in the area for thousands of years and have developed a rich, strong connection to the area through their Dreamings, skins and customs."
Ms Scanlon said QPWS and the Waanyi People worked together to co-design a plan to protect Boodjamulla's key natural and cultural features, whilst providing visitors with a memorable experience.
"It's about sharing and protecting Waanyi culture, but also unlocking new opportunities for the Waanyi People through sustainable tourism, conservation projects and park management," she said.
"The national park is home to the World Heritage Riversleigh fossil deposit and consists of three significant ecosystems that provide habitat for rare and threatened species.
"Lawn Hill Gorge, with its sandstone cliffs and emerald waters, is a stunning oasis in the outback that attracts an abundance of wildlife and thousands of tourists every year."
Waanyi Lore Man and chairman of the Waanyi Prescribed Body Corporate Alec Doomadgee said his People had occupied Boodjamulla for thousands of years and it was integral to their culture and Country.
"This Management Plan recognises the integral historical and future role of Waanyi in the park management," Mr Doomadgee said.
"In partnership with QPWS, Waanyi People look forward to building on the awareness of Boodjamulla and enhancing visitor knowledge and experience on Waanyi Country."
Ms Scanlon said co-design of the management plan started nearly two years ago and involved a range of experts and dedicated individuals.
"The plan identifies a number of opportunities and challenges that QPWS and the Waanyi People would focus on managing over the next 10 years," she said.
"This includes protecting Waanyi cultural sites, managing fire for conservation outcomes, controlling pest plants and animals, and sustainably enhancing the experiences provided for domestic and international visitors.
"With such a significant number of cultural, natural and social values, Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park is considered one of Queensland's top 10 iconic parks, alongside the Whitsunday Islands, Great Barrier Reef, Daintree, Carnarvon and Lamington national parks."
The management plan was developed using a values-based management framework that is based on international standards and best practice, and identifies eight key values: Waanyi Culture - Waanyi lore, custom and heritage, Riversleigh's fossil deposits freshwater systems, mixed shrubby woodlands on limestone, lancewood communities, sandstone spinifex communities, tussock grasslands and eco-tourism and visitor experience
Lawn Hill Gorge was first gazetted as national park in December 1984. Prior to this, it was part of a significant cattle grazing property, Lawn Hill Station.
The park was extended in March 1992 to include the Riversleigh World Heritage Site which is one of the most significant fossil deposits in the world, and the richest known fossil mammal deposit in Australia.
The Waanyi People also bought out the nearby Adels Grove tourist park in 2020.

Ancient rock art site Bulagaranda Aboriginal Area, formerly Mount Yarrowyck, returned to Anaiwan people
By Jennifer Ingall and Kristy ReadingStories of the ancient Anaiwan people etched into granite outcrops high in northern New South Wales are set to become more accessible to the public.
Key points:
- A 600 hectare bushland site in northern NSW has been returned to its Aboriginal owners
- Formerly known as Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve, it will be renamed Bulagaranda Aboriginal Area
- The land features Indigenous rock art, which will be used to attract more visitors
Protected and known as the Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve since 1983, the site west of Armidale, in the New England region, has been returned to the custody of its Aboriginal owners.
The 600 hectare site will be renamed Bulagaranda Aboriginal Area, which translates to 'turkey dreaming'.
Anaiwan woman Cheryl Kitchener was part of the negotiations and said it had been an emotional journey.
"Honestly there's no words that you can actually articulate to explain the joy," she said.
The site will remain open to the public under the new agreement, which will see the land managed in partnership with the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park management plan cheered by Waanyi people
By Larissa Waterson and Julia AndréThe traditional owners of an iconic Queensland national park hope a new management plan will allow them to protect and showcase their culture to the world.
Key points:
- The Waanyi people received native title in 2010 after a two-decade campaign
- The new management plan gives them greater control over the future of the park
- Waanyi representatives are "excited" at the new opportunities the arrangement presents
Launched today, the Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park Management Plan formalises the joint management of the park between the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) and the Waanyi people, who have occupied the area for over 37,000 years.
In 2020 the Waanyi Native Title Aboriginal Corporation took over management of the Adels Grove tourist centre, but the new plan gives the body more control over the future of the entire national park.
"It's now set in stone and it's in a contract that we can actually start setting up all our hopes and dreams and aspirations around the park and lay a foundation to have economic development in our backyard," corporation chairman Alec Doomadgee said.
"It gives us hope and it gives our region aspirations around running business, whether it's eco tourism or whatever, it opens a lot of doors for us.
"We've got five or six rangers at the moment and we're hoping to increase that amount and, in the years to come, hopefully we can get some funding and increase our activities in the area."
Mr Doomadgee said the management plan had been years in the making.
"I've spent the last eight years working towards this point," he said.
In 1994, after several protests, a native title claim was lodged on behalf of the Waanyi people, but it was not until 2010 that they received native title rights over the region.
'Very exciting'
Lawn Hill Gorge, with its sandstone cliffs and emerald waters, is an oasis in the outback that attracts an abundance of wildlife and thousands of tourists every year.
Mr Doomadgee said the launch of the management plan would create opportunities to better preserve historical sites and enrich tourists' experiences.
"It's very exciting for visitors, because they're going to get a firsthand look at Waanyi culture from Waanyi people," he said.
"It's going to increase the popularity of the park and I feel that it's going to increase visitor numbers, because this is going to bring about a cultural experience of the national park that has never been there before."
State Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the co-design of the management plan started nearly two years ago and involved a range of experts and dedicated individuals.
"The plan identifies a number of opportunities and challenges that QPWS and the Waanyi people would focus on managing over the next 10 years," she said.

More than 360,000 hectares of Aboriginal land have been returned to Traditional Owners in Far North Queensland's Cape York peninsula by the state government.
The area of land is roughly the equivalent of 676,000 football fields, or the land size of Greater Brisbane, and has now officially been returned to the Gudang, or Yadhaykenu, Atambaya and Angkamuthi, the Seven Rivers people.
The land comprises areas formerly known as Jardine River National Park, Denham Group National Park, part of Heathlands Reserve and Jardine River Reserve; and two offshore islands.
The historic event was marked with a ceremony conducted by the region's Indigenous community and the Queensland government.
"It's simple. Generations of Bama from this area know this land is their birthright," Gerhardt Pearson, executive director of the Balkanu Cape York Development Corporation, said.
"Today Queensland will recognise these lands as Atambaya, Angkamuthi (Seven Rivers) and Gudang/Yadhaykenu."
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, who last month launched the state's Path to Treaty, said the move would promote conservation in the region and give First Nations peoples a better say in managing their land.
"When you talk about acknowledging the past, when you talk about having a future together, this is a clear demonstration of government working with Traditional Owners to bring about this great outcome," she said.
"Our Path to Treaty is about finding a place where we can face up to our shared history and be truthful about all of it – good and bad – and build a future together where we value, trust, and respect each other."
Member for Cook Cynthia Lui said today was "a rewrite of the future".
"We are setting the path for a brighter and newer future for all people in Queensland."
The land will be granted to the Ipima Ikaya Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC and the Atambaya Aboriginal Corporation on behalf of the Traditional Owners.
Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said members of the communities had waited generations to get their land back.
"It marks the government returning more than 4.3 million hectares to Traditional Owners on Cape York – equivalent to size of the country of Switzerland," she said.
"This is about land justice.
"The historic occasion will see the Gudang/ Yadhaykenu, Atambaya and Angkamuthi (Seven Rivers) peoples take ownership of significant tracts of their homelands."

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — New mothers can now receive one year of full Medicaid coverage after delivery as a new state law expanding services took effect Friday.
The 12-month coverage option was offered to states in a COVID-19 relief and stimulus package approved by Congress last year. The North Carolina state government budget approved by the General Assembly in November and signed by Gov. Roy Cooper accepted that offer.
Until now, women whose households received up to nearly twice the poverty level could receive 60 days of post-partum coverage.
Most pregnant women and those whose pregnancies have ended also will receive full Medicaid benefits, and not just maternity-focused benefits previously provided, the state Department of Health and Human Services said.
The expanded services also can now be accessed by anyone currently pregnant or who gave birth between Feb. 1 and March 31, DHHS said in a news release, and otherwise qualifies based on income.
This extended coverage is currently authorized for five years.
The state's cost share for the enrollment coverage, anticipated to be roughly $50 million annually, will be paid for through increased hospital assesments receipts, budget documents say. The federal government pays the remainder.

Angion Provides Corporate Update and Reports Full Year 2021 Financial Results
-- Enrollment continues in Phase 2 JUNIPER trial of ANG-3070 for the treatment of patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases
-- Ended the year with nearly $89M in cash and cash equivalents
Uniondale, NY - March 30, 2022 - Angion Biomedica Corp. (NASDAQ:ANGN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel small molecule therapeutics to address fibrotic diseases, today reported its financial results for full year 2021.
"In 2022, we are focused on advancing Angion's lead clinical development candidate ANG-3070 for the treatment of patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases and continuing the enrollment of JUNIPER, our Phase 2 dose-finding study in focal segmental glomerular sclerosis and IgA nephropathy patients," said Dr. Jay R. Venkatesan, Angion's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We also plan to advance ANG-3070 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and to file an IND by the end of the year in this population in need of additional approved therapies."
Angion's Strategic Objectives in 2022
•Develop ANG-3070 for treatment of patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases (PPKDs) including focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN), which are the subject of Angion's JUNIPER Phase 2 trial
•Develop ANG-3070 for treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), with a planned IND filing in IPF by the end of 2022
•Nominate a lead compound and initiate IND-enabling studies for one or more of the preclinical rho kinase 2 (ROCK2) or CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) inhibitor programs
Corporate News
•Reported topline results from the Phase 3 trial of ANG-3777 for the treatment of deceased donor kidney transplant patients who were at risk for developing delayed graft function (DGF) and an exploratory Phase 2 trial for the prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass who were thought to be at risk for AKI (CSA-AKI). While neither trial achieved statistical significance on its primary endpoint, Angion believes ANG-3777 demonstrated biologic activity in both trials. Angion continues to work with its partner Vifor Pharma on the process of closing out its analyses of data from these trials. Angion does not intend to continue the clinical development plan for ANG-3777 currently set forth in the Vifor License Agreement ("Vifor License"), which had included a Phase 3 study in CSA-AKI and a Phase 4 confirmatory study in DGF. Angion has no funds budgeted for additional clinical trials for ANG-3777.
•Presented multiple posters at the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Week Conference on the activity of ANG-3070 in multiple models of renal fibrosis as well as a presentation on the design of JUNIPER, the Phase 2 trial of ANG-3070 in PPKD patients with FSGS and IgAN.
•Held an ANG-3070 Virtual R&D Day on September 20, 2021, a recording of which is available on the Events & Presentations page of the company website.
◦Described in greater detail positive data from the Phase 1 healthy volunteer study of ANG-3070
◦Presented preclinical data in several models of kidney and lung fibrosis
◦Heard from experts in kidney fibrosis and lung fibrosis about the unmet medical needs in both indications
•Ongoing progress on preclinical programs for a ROCK2 inhibitor and a CYP11B2 inhibitor.
Full Year 2021 Financial Results
As of December 31, 2021, Angion had cash and cash equivalents totaling $88.8 million. Angion expects current cash resources to be sufficient to fund planned operations well into 2023.
Contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $27.5 million compared with $0.2 million in the same period in 2020. Since Angion does not intend to continue the clinical development plan for ANG-3777 currently set forth in the Vifor License, which had included a Phase 3 study in CSA-AKI and a Phase 4 confirmatory study in DGF, Angion performed a reassessment of the performance period and estimated costs for the completion of the performance obligations. This accelerated the revenue recognition related to the upfront payment received by Angion from Vifor Pharma when the Vifor License was entered into in 2020.
Grant revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.8 million compared with $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in reimbursable costs relating to Angion's grant from the Department of Defense (DOD) for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $48.7 million compared with $39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in 2021 was primarily due to increases in headcount and personnel-related expenses in the amount of $8.5 million, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses, and an increase of $1.0 million in expenses related to third-party clinical trial and manufacturing activities expenses, primarily related to the development of ANG-3777 and ANG-3070. The increase in research and development expenses in 2021 was partially offset by an employee retention credit of $1.2 million received in 2021 as a reduction to payroll taxes.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $18.5 million compared with $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expenses, resulting from increases in headcount, an increase of $2.7 million of corporate fees mainly due to purchase of business insurance, offset by a decrease of $5.1 million of professional fees for legal, consulting, accounting, tax and other services primarily associated with preparing the company for the initial public offering in 2020.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $54.6 million, or $1.93 per basic and diluted share, compared with $80.1 million, or $5.43 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in loss per share was primarily due to revenue recognized related to the Vifor License during the year ended 2021 and the increase in shares outstanding related to the 2021 IPO.
About Angion

-- Ended the quarter with $73M in cash and cash equivalents sufficient to fund operations well into 2023
UNIONDALE, N.Y., May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Angion Biomedica Corp (NASDAQ:ANGN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel small molecule therapeutics to address fibrotic diseases, today provided a corporate update and reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
“In the first quarter of 2022, we made good progress on our strategic objectives for the year,” said Dr. Jay R. Venkatesan, Angion’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Enrollment in JUNIPER, the Phase 2 dose-finding trial of our oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor ANG-3070 in primary proteinuric kidney diseases, continues and we are advancing ANG-3070 toward clinical development in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a serious and fatal disease for which new treatment options are needed.”
Angion also announced earlier today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) acceptance of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application supporting the clinical development of ANG-3070 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and clearance to begin a Phase 1b study of ANG-3070 in patients with IPF. Topline data from this Phase 1b study are expected in 2022.
Angion’s Strategic Objectives in 2022
- Develop ANG-3070 for treatment of patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases (PPKDs) including focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN), which are the subject of Angion’s JUNIPER Phase 2 trial
- Develop ANG-3070 for treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), with a planned IND filing in IPF by the end of 2022
- Nominate a lead compound and initiate IND-enabling studies for one or more of the preclinical rho kinase 2 (ROCK2) or CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) inhibitor programs
First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
As of March 31, 2022, Angion had cash and cash equivalents totaling $73.0 million. Angion expects current cash resources to be sufficient to fund planned operations well into 2023.
Contract revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $1.6 million compared with $0.4 million in the same period in 2021. Since Angion does not intend to continue the clinical development plan for ANG-3777 currently set forth in Angion’s license agreement with Vifor International, Ltd, which had included a Phase 3 study in cardiac surgery associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CSA-AKI) and a Phase 4 confirmatory study in delayed graft function (DGF), Angion performed a reassessment of the performance period and estimated costs for the completion of the performance obligations. This accelerated the revenue recognition related to the upfront payment received by Angion from Vifor Pharma when the license agreement with Vifor Pharma was entered into in 2020.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $11.7 million compared with $14.3 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a net decrease of $4.4 million in personnel-related expenses as a result of the reduction in force event during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and a decrease of $2.9 million in CRO expenses from decreased clinical trial activities, primarily related to the completion of ANG-3777 trials, offset by severance-related charges of $2.7 million and an increase of $2.0 million in CRO and CMO expenses from increased clinical and non-clinical trial activities, primarily related to the development of ANG-3070.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $4.5 million compared with $6.0 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a net decrease of $2.3 million in personnel-related expenses as a result of the reduction in force event during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, offset by severance-related charges of $0.5 million and an increase of $0.3 million in business insurance expense.
Other income (expense) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $0.2 million compared with ($16.7 million) in the same period in 2021. The increase in other income (expense) was primarily due to a decrease in expense of $14.6 million from the change in fair value related to our warrant liability, convertible notes, and Series C convertible preferred stock for which we elected the fair value option as most of these instruments were no longer outstanding after our IPO. There was also a decrease of $2.2 million in interest expense, primarily related to $2.2 million of amortization of debt issuance costs from the issuance of Series C convertible preferred stock issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $14.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with $36.7 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, for the three months ended 2021.

Angion Provides Corporate Update and Reports Full Year 2021 Financial Results
-- Enrollment continues in Phase 2 JUNIPER trial of ANG-3070 for the treatment of patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases
-- Ended the year with nearly $89M in cash and cash equivalents
Uniondale, NY - March 30, 2022 - Angion Biomedica Corp. (NASDAQ:ANGN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel small molecule therapeutics to address fibrotic diseases, today reported its financial results for full year 2021.
"In 2022, we are focused on advancing Angion's lead clinical development candidate ANG-3070 for the treatment of patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases and continuing the enrollment of JUNIPER, our Phase 2 dose-finding study in focal segmental glomerular sclerosis and IgA nephropathy patients," said Dr. Jay R. Venkatesan, Angion's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We also plan to advance ANG-3070 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and to file an IND by the end of the year in this population in need of additional approved therapies."
Angion's Strategic Objectives in 2022
•Develop ANG-3070 for treatment of patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases (PPKDs) including focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN), which are the subject of Angion's JUNIPER Phase 2 trial
•Develop ANG-3070 for treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), with a planned IND filing in IPF by the end of 2022
•Nominate a lead compound and initiate IND-enabling studies for one or more of the preclinical rho kinase 2 (ROCK2) or CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) inhibitor programs
Corporate News
•Reported topline results from the Phase 3 trial of ANG-3777 for the treatment of deceased donor kidney transplant patients who were at risk for developing delayed graft function (DGF) and an exploratory Phase 2 trial for the prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass who were thought to be at risk for AKI (CSA-AKI). While neither trial achieved statistical significance on its primary endpoint, Angion believes ANG-3777 demonstrated biologic activity in both trials. Angion continues to work with its partner Vifor Pharma on the process of closing out its analyses of data from these trials. Angion does not intend to continue the clinical development plan for ANG-3777 currently set forth in the Vifor License Agreement ("Vifor License"), which had included a Phase 3 study in CSA-AKI and a Phase 4 confirmatory study in DGF. Angion has no funds budgeted for additional clinical trials for ANG-3777.
•Presented multiple posters at the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Week Conference on the activity of ANG-3070 in multiple models of renal fibrosis as well as a presentation on the design of JUNIPER, the Phase 2 trial of ANG-3070 in PPKD patients with FSGS and IgAN.
•Held an ANG-3070 Virtual R&D Day on September 20, 2021, a recording of which is available on the Events & Presentations page of the company website.
◦Described in greater detail positive data from the Phase 1 healthy volunteer study of ANG-3070
◦Presented preclinical data in several models of kidney and lung fibrosis
◦Heard from experts in kidney fibrosis and lung fibrosis about the unmet medical needs in both indications
•Ongoing progress on preclinical programs for a ROCK2 inhibitor and a CYP11B2 inhibitor.
Full Year 2021 Financial Results
As of December 31, 2021, Angion had cash and cash equivalents totaling $88.8 million. Angion expects current cash resources to be sufficient to fund planned operations well into 2023.
Contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $27.5 million compared with $0.2 million in the same period in 2020. Since Angion does not intend to continue the clinical development plan for ANG-3777 currently set forth in the Vifor License, which had included a Phase 3 study in CSA-AKI and a Phase 4 confirmatory study in DGF, Angion performed a reassessment of the performance period and estimated costs for the completion of the performance obligations. This accelerated the revenue recognition related to the upfront payment received by Angion from Vifor Pharma when the Vifor License was entered into in 2020.
Grant revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.8 million compared with $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in reimbursable costs relating to Angion's grant from the Department of Defense (DOD) for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $48.7 million compared with $39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in 2021 was primarily due to increases in headcount and personnel-related expenses in the amount of $8.5 million, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses, and an increase of $1.0 million in expenses related to third-party clinical trial and manufacturing activities expenses, primarily related to the development of ANG-3777 and ANG-3070. The increase in research and development expenses in 2021 was partially offset by an employee retention credit of $1.2 million received in 2021 as a reduction to payroll taxes.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $18.5 million compared with $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expenses, resulting from increases in headcount, an increase of $2.7 million of corporate fees mainly due to purchase of business insurance, offset by a decrease of $5.1 million of professional fees for legal, consulting, accounting, tax and other services primarily associated with preparing the company for the initial public offering in 2020.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $54.6 million, or $1.93 per basic and diluted share, compared with $80.1 million, or $5.43 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in loss per share was primarily due to revenue recognized related to the Vifor License during the year ended 2021 and the increase in shares outstanding related to the 2021 IPO.

There can be no assurance the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any agreements or transactions, or, if completed, any agreements or transactions will be successful or on attractive terms. Angion has discontinued development of ANG-3070 for all indications and discontinued most other development activities pending conclusion of this process.
“The strategic options process is under way and we are taking the steps we deem appropriate to preserve cash resources,” stated Dr. Jay Venkatesan, Angion’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we noted in our press release on July 25, we do not expect to disclose developments with respect to this process unless and until the process has been completed or a disclosure is otherwise deemed necessary or legally required.”

Grant revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.8 million compared with $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in reimbursable costs relating to Angion's grant from the Department of Defense (DOD) for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $48.7 million compared with $39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in 2021 was primarily due to increases in headcount and personnel-related expenses in the amount of $8.5 million, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses, and an increase of $1.0 million in expenses related to third-party clinical trial and manufacturing activities expenses, primarily related to the development of ANG-3777 and ANG-3070. The increase in research and development expenses in 2021 was partially offset by an employee retention credit of $1.2 million received in 2021 as a reduction to payroll taxes.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $18.5 million compared with $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expenses, resulting from increases in headcount, an increase of $2.7 million of corporate fees mainly due to purchase of business insurance, offset by a decrease of $5.1 million of professional fees for legal, consulting, accounting, tax and other services primarily associated with preparing the company for the initial public offering in 2020.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $54.6 million, or $1.93 per basic and diluted share, compared with $80.1 million, or $5.43 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in loss per share was primarily due to revenue recognized related to the Vifor License during the year ended 2021 and the increase in shares outstanding related to the 2021 IPO.

On June 29, 2022, Angion announced discontinuation of JUNIPER, its Phase 2 dose-finding trial of ANG-3070 in patients with primary proteinuric kidney diseases, specifically focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). This trial, which began enrolling patients in December 2021, was discontinued in the interest of patient safety based upon a reassessment of the risk/benefit profile of ANG-3070 in patients with established serious kidney disease.
On July 25, 2022, Angion announced the commencement of a process to explore and evaluate strategic options to enhance and preserve shareholder value and the engagement of Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. as the company’s strategic advisor to assist in this process.

There can be no assurance the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any agreements or transactions, or, if completed, any agreements or transactions will be successful or on attractive terms. Angion has discontinued development of ANG-3070 for all indications and discontinued most other development activities pending conclusion of this process.
“The strategic options process is under way and we are taking the steps we deem appropriate to preserve cash resources,” stated Dr. Jay Venkatesan, Angion’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we noted in our press release on July 25, we do not expect to disclose developments with respect to this process unless and until the process has been completed or a disclosure is otherwise deemed necessary or legally required.”
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
As of June 30, 2022, Angion had cash and cash equivalents totaling $63.4 million. Angion expects current cash resources to be sufficient to fund projected operating requirements for at least 12 months following the issuance date of its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inflation in eurozone hits new record high as cost of living crisis sweeping world intensifies
Inflation in the eurozone has hit a new record high as the cost of living crisis sweeping the world intensifies.
Official figures showed prices in the single currency bloc rose by 7.5 per cent in the year to March – the biggest increase since the euro was launched more than two decades ago.
Global living costs are soaring as the cost of everything from energy and fuel to food and building materials rises in the aftermath of Covid, and as war rages in Ukraine.
Inflation is at a 30-year high of 6.2 per cent in the UK and a 40-year high of 7.9 per cent in the US.
Christian Nolting, chief investment officer at Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, said: 'The rhino in the room has been unleashed and may now prove difficult to stop.'
And separate reports showed manufacturers in the eurozone and Britain endured their worst month for more than a year in March.
The double-whammy of rising prices and slowing growth has raised fears that the global economy faces a dangerous bout of stagflation.
Despite fears that economies are weakening, central banks are under pressure to raise interest rates to bring inflation back under control.
The Bank of England has raised rates three times since December, from 0.1 per cent to 0.75 per cent, and could do so again. In the US, the Federal Reserve last month raised rates for the first time in three years, from between zero and 0.25 per cent to between 0.25 per cent and 0.5 per cent.
Analysts said that upbeat jobs figures published in Washington yesterday paved the way for more hikes in the coming months.
Official figures showed US unemployment fell to 3.6 per cent in March as the number of those in work rose by 431,000.
The European Central Bank has yet to raise rates but now faces the biggest inflation shock since the single currency was launched.
Joachim Nagel, president of the Bundesbank, Germany's central bank, said the inflation figures 'speak for themselves' and has called for 'timely counter-measures'.
But the economy is slowing with the S&P Global purchasing managers' index of manufacturing activity in the eurozone hitting a 14-month low last month. The index hit a 13-month low in Britain.
'The end of the opening quarter saw a marked growth slowdown in the UK manufacturing sector,' S&P Global said.
Its chief business economist, Chris Williamson, said: 'The war in Ukraine has created an ominous new headwind.
'Rates of growth have cooled markedly amid sanctions, soaring energy costs and new supply constraints linked to the war.'

Inflation in 19 nations using euro soars to record 7.5%
LONDON — (AP) — Inflation in Europe soared to another record, according to new EU figures released Friday, in a fresh sign that rising energy prices fueled by Russia's war in Ukraine are squeezing consumers and adding pressure on the central bank to raise interest rates.
Consumer prices in the 19 countries that use the euro currency rose by an annual rate of 7.5% in March, according to the European Union statistics agency, Eurostat.
The latest reading smashed the high set just last month, when it hit 5.9%. It's the fifth straight month that inflation in the eurozone has set a record, bringing it to the highest level since recordkeeping for the euro began in 1997.
Rising consumer prices are a growing problem around the world, making it more difficult for people to afford everything from groceries to their utility bills. Spiking energy costs are the main factor driving inflation in Europe, with those prices surging 44.7% last month, up from 32% in February, Eurostat said.
Oil and gas prices had already been rising because of increasing demand from economies recovering from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. They jumped higher after Russia, a major oil and gas producer, invaded Ukraine, on fears that sanctions and export restrictions could crimp supplies.
At an outdoor market this week in Cologne, Germany, shopper Andreas Langheim bemoaned how life was getting more expensive.
“I can see the effect of increasing prices, especially here at the market," Langheim, 62, said as he picked up some bread from a bakery van. "Everything is more expensive now.”
The latest figures make it more urgent for the European Central Bank to get off the sidelines and take action, analysts said. The bank is balancing record inflation with the threat that the war may hurt an economy under pressure. Last month, it sped up its exit from economic stimulus efforts to combat inflation, but has not taken more drastic steps.
“We think that the ECB will soon conclude that it can’t wait any longer before starting to raise interest rates,” Jack Allen-Reynolds, senior Europe economist at Capital Economics, said in a report.
Other central banks have started raising rates, including in the U.S., where inflation has soared to a 40-year high of 7.9%. European countries that don't use the euro, including Britain, Norway and the Czech Republic have done the same.
In the eurozone, there were price increases for other categories of spending besides energy. Food, alcohol and tobacco costs rose 5%, compared with 4.2% in the prior month, while prices for goods like clothing, appliances, cars, computers and books rose 3.4%, up from 3.1%; and service prices rose 2.7%, versus the previous 2.5%.
Italian Premier Mario Draghi, a former European Central Bank president, outlined how the problem hits households.
“Inflation is rising because raw materials prices are going up, in particular those for foodstuffs. Those are the ones that hit hardest a family’s buying power,’’ Draghi told foreign journalists Thursday. “Shortages in some raw materials creates a bottleneck in production and forces further price hikes.’’
Draghi said that as long as inflation remains temporary, governments can respond with budgetary measures, such as payments to help low income families with higher heating and electricity costs. But if it becomes a longer-term issue the response will have to be structural, he said.

MOOREFIELD, W.Va. — National Poultry Day serves as an opportunity to showcase the important role poultry plays in feeding America. Pilgrim’s Pride continues to play a key part in making sure West Virginia households have food throughout the year, thanks to its generous contributions to Mountaineer Food Bank.
In 2021 alone, Pilgrim’s Pride donated 361,370 pounds of chicken to Mountaineer Food Bank, worth approximately $332,458.
“The staggering contributions Pilgrim’s Pride made throughout 2021 helped our organization successfully feed countless families across the Mountain State.” said Chad Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Mountaineer Food Bank. “Mountaineer Food Bank ensures that West Virginians in nearly every county have food on their table and Pilgrim’s is an important part of that effort. National Poultry Day gives us an opportunity to thank Pilgrim’s for its continued support.”
Pilgrim’s Pride is the largest producer of poultry products in West Virginia, with nearly half of the poultry products coming from Hardy County. Pilgrim’s provides jobs for thousands of people within Hardy and surrounding counties, creating an economic impact in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Mountaineer Food Bank was established in 1981 and is the state’s largest emergency food provider, distributing more than 23 million pounds annually. Mountaineer Food Bank provides food and other household items to more than 460 feeding programs at food pantries in 48 counties across the state.

Pilgrim’s provided an update this week on the company's "Hometown Strong" program and the funds that are being invested in Carroll County to support the community’s future.
The Greely, Colo. based corporation, one of the largest chicken producers and processors in the nation, previously announced a $325,000 investment in Carroll County and Carrollton and has since worked closely with local leaders to identify where the funds can best help meet immediate and longer-term community needs.
Pilgrim’s Carrollton has fully allocated its "Hometown Strong" funding to the following local projects:
- $190,000 will fund construction of an agricultural education center on 20 acres of land already owned by Central Middle School.
- A gift of $30,000 will provide a new lawnmower to help with the upkeep of the Bowdon High baseball field.
- A gift of $30,000 will provide new uniforms for the Central High School marching band.
- A gift of $12,400 will increase the Pilgrim’s Endowed Scholarship amount to support a $1,000-$1,500 annual scholarship.
“Through Pilgrim’s Hometown Strong, we’re breathing new life into some of our key community spaces,” said Ricky Walker, Pilgrim’s Carrollton Complex Manager.
“We are proud to partner with community leaders to bring this vision to life and serve the people of Carrollton for many years to come,” Walker noted.
Carroll County Schools Superintendent Scott Cowart said that the Carroll County Schools are blessed to have community partners like Pilgrim’s, who support the system's efforts to provide students with premier experiences in academics, arts, athletics and other activities.
“Pilgrim’s generous donations for the endowed scholarship, the Central High band uniforms and Central Middle School's agriculture program, as well as the contribution to Bowdon High, will make a positive difference in the lives of our students," Cowart said.
In addition to the school contributions, Pilgrim’s also recently presented a check for $22,100 to the Carroll County Soup Kitchen to fund the purchase and installation of a walk-in freezer that will help alleviate food insecurity in the community.
The Pilgrim’s production facility in Carrollton employs more than 650 people with an annual payroll of more than $22 million. The facility supports 83 growers, paying them more than $18 million per year for their chickens.
Also, according to the new released issued by Pilgrim’s, the company anchors dozens of rural communities with its operation of more than 30 meat poultry and prepared foods facilities that employ 31,000-plus people in the United States.
Nationally, the "Hometown Strong" initiative is a $20 million investment from Pilgrim’s, which is part of a $100 million nationwide contribution from JBS USA.

Perdue Farms Delivers $25,000 to Foodbank of Southeastern Va. and the Eastern Shore Backpack Program and 10,000 Pounds of Nutritious Protein
SALISBURY, Md., June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of a commitment to combat food insecurity, Perdue Farms has delivered a $25,000 grant to support the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore school backpack program and 10,000 pounds of nutritious chicken products to feed food insecure families in rural Virginia.
The grant from the Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation, the company's charitable giving arm, and donation of chicken are part of the company's Delivering Hope to Our Neighbors® initiative focused on improving quality of life and building strong communities.
"For 40 years, the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore has pursued a mission of leading the effort to eliminate hunger in our community," said Christopher Tan, president and CEO of the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore. "We're grateful to partners like Perdue Farms who provide the necessary nutrition and financial support to help us feed those in need in our community."
The service area of the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore spans 4,745 square miles and includes the cities of Suffolk, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Franklin and the counties of Southampton, Northampton, Sussex, Isle of Wight and Accomack. Since its incorporation in 1981, more than 360 million meals have been distributed to those facing hunger. In the past five years, an average of 15 million meals have been distributed to more than 160,000 people each year.
"Our BackPack Program provides food-insecure children with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food at times when other resources are not available, such as weekends and school vacations," said Tan. "Backpacks containing six healthy, child-friendly meals are discreetly handed out to the participating children at each distribution."
The Foodbank backpack program serves roughly 3,600 children across 65 schools, seven of which are on the Eastern Shore. It provides 16,524 meals for 152 children attending public elementary schools in the region. These nutritious meals for the children allow caregivers to stretch their household budgets far enough to eliminate some of the impossible choices they must otherwise make between rent/mortgage, heat, electricity, transportation costs, medicine, doctor visits and groceries, according to Tan.
Kim Nechay, executive director of the Perdue Foundation, praised the work of Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore.
"Backpack food delivery programs are an important cornerstone program of the Foodbank's efforts to address childhood hunger," she said. "We believe none of our neighbors should go hungry so helping provide food each weekend to children facing food insecurity through this wonderful program is a meaningful investment."

What a mess.
The congressional map the Democratic majority in the Maryland General Assembly passed in December was struck down last week by Judge Lynne Battaglia as unconstitutional.
Gov. Larry Hogan was critical of the process the redistricting committee employed. At the time of the initial map’s passing, we called it out for what it was — a bad map.
Now, everyone is in a mad scramble to get a new map redrawn and passed, like a student that waited until the last day of spring break to do the homework assignments.
After Battaglia called the previous map a “product of extreme partisan gerrymandering” that violated the state constitution, the legislature was quick to draw up a new map, one with more compact districts that would still hold the 7-1 advantage for the Democrats.
According to U.S. Rep. David Trone, who represents the 6th District, the new district lines would make Western Maryland a more competitive race than with the thrown out map.
“This map barely gives lip service to Judge Battaglia’s ruling,” said Del. Kathy Szeliga, a Baltimore County Republican.
After sailing through the Senate a day earlier, the new map was finalized Wednesday as the House voted along veto-proof party lines.
On Friday, the redrawn map was placed before Battaglia and she deferred ruling on it, citing the unknowns regarding appeal and veto.
Hogan may still veto it and force the issue further, adding new elements to the scramble.
Of course, we can’t forget the monkey wrench that a successful appeal of the initial ruling could throw into everything. Senate President Bill Ferguson said the new map’s use, if it passes, would depend on losing an appeal over the ruling on the December map.
Maryland’s state primary election was already pushed from June 28 to July 19 due to all this nonsense.
The worst part is that it didn’t have to be this way. Partisan politics didn’t have to be employed when developing the next congressional map for Maryland.
The sides could have worked together and in good faith toward a map that fit the criteria; instead of shoving through a version that had about a prayer to make it through the courts unscathed.
And, the way it’s going isn’t any better than the previous time. Everyone is looking out for their own and doing what they can on a minuscule deadline. Now there is no time for productive discussion between the parties — which gives a built in excuse to continue the status quo.
What a shame and what a mess.

This means that, after months of legal wrangling, Maryland’s congressional map is likely set for the upcoming midterm elections and for the next decade, ending the uncertainty that had complicated congressional campaigns.
Anne Arundel County Senior Judge Lynne Battaglia found the map Democrats passed in December to be an unconstitutional gerrymander and had ordered the General Assembly to draw a new congressional map that would comply with rules in the constitution. Those rules require districts to be compact and respect political subdivisions, among other things.
The map Democrats passed last week on a party-line vote would likely create seven Democratic districts — one of which would be competitive, in Western Maryland — and one safe Republican district on the Eastern Shore.
Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh (D) said in a statement that “both sides” would drop the litigation, enabling the state to “move forward to the primary election.”
“We are pleased Governor Hogan has agreed to sign the proposed congressional redistricting map approved by the General Assembly,” Frosh said. "This map, like the one previously passed by the General Assembly, is Constitutional and fair.”
A spokesman for the governor said that Battaglia’s approval of the congressional map would no longer be required.
This story is developing and will be updated.

After all else failed — the naked partisan trickery; the cartographical sleight of hand; the threats of months of litigation — Maryland’s political tribes finally agreed on a redrawn congressional map. What a waste of time.
So instead, Marylanders were treated to what has become the familiar spectacle of a proposed map so lavishly gerrymandered by Democrats that any pretense of the compactness or contiguity of particular districts — let alone their electoral fairness — was preposterous. In this latest episode, the map offered up by Democrats would have given them an odds-on chance of tilting the current congressional delegation, which is now 7 to 1 in the party’s favor, to a straight-up 8-0 sweep.
A state judge, a Democrat herself, rejected it as an “extreme” gerrymander, so Democrats went back to the drawing board while simultaneously threatening to appeal the judge’s ruling. No outcome but endless partisan appeals seemed likely, and insiders said the matter would ultimately be settled only by the state’s highest tribunal, the Court of Appeals.
But in an improbable victory for reason and fair play, Democrats submitted a new map that wasn’t excessively rigged in their own favor. Republicans decided the new version was good enough, and Mr. Hogan said he would sign it into law if Democrats agreed to drop their appeal of the judge’s ruling. That did the trick; no appeals are expected, although litigation still appears likely over the state legislative maps.
The new congressional map tracks more or less with the status quo — six seats remain safe for Democrats; one remains safe for the GOP; and one is expected to be competitive. That’s a decent outcome for Marylanders, although the skirmishing did result in a postponement of primaries until mid-July, when many people are on vacation. Turnout could be even lower than usual.
The resolution does not solve the standing problem, or, as Mr. Hogan rightly pointed out, do anything to avoid another partisan fracas after the 2030 Census. And next time, there is no guarantee that a compromise would emerge, meaning months of litigation and judicial involvement in a process that the legislature should be able to resolve.
Mr. Hogan has been pushing legislation to establish a nonpartisan redistricting procedure, only to be blocked and ignored by Democrats, who are content with the advantage their political power confers in a predominantly liberal state. The fact is, Marylanders are overwhelmingly in favor of redistricting reform, even though registered Democrats in the state outnumber Republicans by 2 to 1. The party is out of step with its base.
Redistricting reform is not a cure-all. In Virginia, a bipartisan commission createdlast year amid fanfare, floundered amid partisan paralysis and failed to agree on new electoral maps. That threw the job to Virginia’s Supreme Court, which did the job ably. But the failure in Maryland to establish any new process is unacceptable legislative dysfunction. Leaders in Annapolis can fix it — or they aren’t really leaders.

Anne Arundel County Senior Judge Lynne A. Battaglia had thrown out Democrats’ earlier map, calling it a “product of extreme partisan gerrymandering.” The Maryland Attorney General’s Office has said it intends to appeal that decision, but legislators passed an alternate map per Battaglia’s orders on a party-line vote Wednesday, ahead of Friday’s scheduled hearing.
Gov. Larry Hogan (R), though, hasn’t acted on the revised version one way or another. And Battaglia said Friday that she can’t issue an opinion on a piece of legislation that hasn’t been enacted into law.
“It has nothing to do with ruling on the merits,” Battaglia said of her decision.
Hogan had vetoed the original map passed in December, but Democratic lawmakers overrode his objection.
Whatever map is chosen in Maryland would remain in effect for the next decade. The ramifications for the midterm elections could be high, as national Democrats cling to control of the U.S. House.
Democrats currently have a 7-1 advantage in Maryland. The map Battaglia struck down would have put the sole Republican, Rep. Andy Harris on the Eastern Shore, in jeopardy. But the alternate map reverses that change while also making the 6th district in Western Maryland, held by Rep. David Trone (D), more competitive.
Battaglia did not say when or whether she would reconsider issuing a ruling if Hogan did sign the new redistricting plan. She also acknowledged that the outcome of the case ultimately will rest with the Court of Appeals — complicating her role for the time being.
A spokesman for the governor said Friday that Hogan “continues to review the legislation, and action could come at any time.”
Hogan has six days from when legislation is presented to him to sign it or veto it; if he takes no action, the map would automatically become law. The alternate map would only be used if Battaglia’s ruling stands, and if she approves the map.
During the hearing, attorneys for the state argued the new map was significantly more compact than the one Battaglia rejected and spliced far fewer counties. Attorneys for the Republican plaintiffs had only one objection — that the lines in the 2nd district, anchored in Baltimore County and held by Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D), appeared to be drawn for political reasons.
At issue: a little protrusion the district makes south into Baltimore city that Battaglia said “sort of looks like India to me,” leading both sides to call it “India,” too.
“Most of District 2 is a really heavily Republican area of the state,” Strider Dickson, an attorney for the Republican plaintiffs, said. “The problem arises when you bring District 2 into Baltimore city — you start to get into more Democratic areas. What it appears has happened here is District 2 has been made far more Democratic than necessary, to affect the outcome of the election in that district.”
Andrea Trento, an assistant attorney general for the state, noted that the reason for the protrusion appeared to be related to the Voting Rights Act, which ensures that large populations of minority voters are able to elect representatives of their choice. The 7th district, which is anchored in Baltimore city, is a majority-minority district, and Trento said the lines affecting neighboring districts were probably drawn to preserve its status as a voting-rights district, even though a court has not mandated that it must be one.
But neither the state nor the plaintiffs had underlying demographic data readily available to make their arguments fully about either district — a lack of information that Battaglia said also made it difficult to assess the new map.
The timeline for the appeal is unclear. The state has not yet filed formal arguments, and attorneys said they were waiting for the Court of Appeals to issue a scheduling order. The high court would probably need to move quickly, with the primary election scheduled for July 19.

|
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women’s college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I … am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey’s response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.
“It’s quite shocking that he can’t even address trans people or even say that he thinks they exist,” Bridget Sharpe said.
Wednesday’s signing of the two transgender bills and a third that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and is currently unconstitutional put Ducey right in the middle of two top issues national Republicans are highlighting in the runup to November’s midterm elections.
Ducey also signed election legislation that minority Democrats said amounted to voter suppression by requiring longtime Arizonans to be thrown off the voter rolls if they did not prove their citizenship and residence location.
The governor leads the Republican Governors Association, which is charged with helping elect GOP chief executives in U.S. states. He in is the last year of his second term as Arizona governor and term limits bar him from seeking reelection.
The top Democrat in the state House, Rep. Reginald Bolding, called Wednesday “probably one of the darkest days we’ve seen in the history of Arizona.”
“With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ducey has hurled Arizona backwards to its ugliest past,” Bolding said Wednesday. “And today, he put in jeopardy pregnant people, transgender youth in danger and curtailed voting rights for people of color.”
Social conservative groups and the Arizona Republican Party praised Ducey’s action. The Center for Arizona Policy, whose president shepherded the abortion and women’s sports bills through the Legislature, called it a victory.
“Thank you, Governor Ducey, for taking a bold stand for women athletes, vulnerable children, and the unborn by putting your signature on (the bills) in the face of intense opposition from activists,” Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod said in a news release she posted on Twitter.
She said the legislation protects the unborn, ensures a level playing field for female athletes and shows that “Arizona will do everything it can to protect vulnerable children struggling with gender confusion” by enacting the surgery ban.
Ducey said the surgery ban protects children from irreversible decisions.
“These are permanent surgeries of reassignment that are irreversible, and those discussions can happen once adulthood is reached,” he said.
The American Civil Liberties Association has vowed to sue over the surgery ban. U.S. Supreme Court precedent currently says women have a constitutional right to abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, although it is considering whether to uphold a 15-week ban enacted in Mississippi and may overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision enshrining a woman’s right to choose.
Arizona joins 13 other states in enacting laws preventing transgender girls and women from playing on girls teams. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a transgender sports ban in his state, saying it would harm transgender girls, but the Legislature overrode the veto. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb also vetoed a sports bill, but lawmakers hope to override his action as well.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women’s college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I … am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey’s response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal grand jury has heard testimony in recent months about Hunter Biden’s income and payments he received while serving on the board of a Ukraine energy company, according to two people familiar with the probe.
It remains unclear whether he might be charged. But the grand jury activity underscores that a federal tax investigation into President Joe Biden’s son that began in 2018 remains active as prosecutors continue to examine foreign payments and other aspects of his finances.
A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not return a phone message and email seeking comment on Friday. A Justice Department spokesman deferred a request for comment to the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, which is handling the investigation. A spokesperson for the office did not return a phone message seeking comment.
The people familiar with the investigation could not discuss details of the ongoing probe publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
No matter how the investigation resolves, it has already presented a political headache for the Biden administration and could lead to an even bigger one, particularly if Republicans who have seized on the probe to attack the president retake control of the House in midterm elections later this year. Republicans would then control congressional committees and shape the focus of any investigations.
A White House that has sought to deflect questions about law enforcement matters to the Justice Department was asked this week whether it stood by the president’s assertion in a 2020 debate that his son had not had unethical business dealings with Ukraine or China. White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said yes.
The investigation could also force a delicate decision for the Justice Department, which has sought to assert its independence and has publicly stressed its willingness to let the facts and evidence, not political decisions, guide its investigative and charging decisions.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has not shed any light publicly on the investigation. But the Justice Department did leave in place the top federal prosecutor in Delaware — David Weiss, a Trump administration holdover — presumably as a way to ensure continuity.
Hunter Biden confirmed the existence of an investigation into his taxes in December 2020, one month after the presidential election. He said in a statement at the time that he was “confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
The Associated Press reported later that month that a subpoena served on the younger Biden sought information related to more than two dozen entities. One was Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company whose board he had joined when his father was vice president. That move sparked concerns about a potential conflict of interest given that elder Biden was deeply involved in U.S. policy toward Ukraine during the Obama administration.
The breadth of the subpoena highlighted the wide-ranging scope of the investigation into Hunter Biden, though there is no indication that the probe includes any scrutiny of the president himself. Biden has said he did not discuss his son’s international business dealings with him and has denied having ever taken money from a foreign country.
Witnesses in recent months have been questioned about payments Hunter Biden received while serving on the Burisma board, the people familiar with the probe said.
Republicans tried making Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine a prominent issue during the 2020 presidential election.
A year earlier, then-President Donald Trump tried pressuring his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to launch investigations into the Bidens at the same time Zelenskyy was seeking military aid from the U.S.
Trump was later impeached by the House over the phone call but was acquitted by the Senate.

Biden has said he did not discuss his son’s international business dealings with him and has denied having ever taken money from a foreign country.
Witnesses in recent months have been questioned about payments Hunter Biden received while serving on the Burisma board, the people familiar with the probe said.
Republicans tried making Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine a prominent issue during the 2020 presidential election.
A year earlier, then-President Donald Trump tried pressuring his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to launch investigations into the Bidens at the same time Zelenskyy was seeking military aid from the U.S.
Trump was later impeached by the House over the phone call but was acquitted by the Senate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal grand jury has heard testimony in recent months about Hunter Biden’s income and payments he received while serving on the board of a Ukraine energy company, according to two people familiar with the probe.
It remains unclear whether he might be charged. But the grand jury activity underscores that a federal tax investigation into President Joe Biden’s son that began in 2018 remains active as prosecutors continue to examine foreign payments and other aspects of his finances.
A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not return a phone message and email seeking comment on Friday. A Justice Department spokesman deferred a request for comment to the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, which is handling the investigation. A spokesperson for the office did not return a phone message seeking comment.
The people familiar with the investigation could not discuss details of the ongoing probe publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
No matter how the investigation resolves, it has already presented a political headache for the Biden administration and could lead to an even bigger one, particularly if Republicans who have seized on the probe to attack the president retake control of the House in midterm elections later this year. Republicans would then control congressional committees and shape the focus of any investigations.
A White House that has sought to deflect questions about law enforcement matters to the Justice Department was asked this week whether it stood by the president’s assertion in a 2020 debate that his son had not had unethical business dealings with Ukraine or China. White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said yes.
The investigation could also force a delicate decision for the Justice Department, which has sought to assert its independence and has publicly stressed its willingness to let the facts and evidence, not political decisions, guide its investigative and charging decisions.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has not shed any light publicly on the investigation. But the Justice Department did leave in place the top federal prosecutor in Delaware — David Weiss, a Trump administration holdover — presumably as a way to ensure continuity.
Hunter Biden confirmed the existence of an investigation into his taxes in December 2020, one month after the presidential election. He said in a statement at the time that he was “confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
The Associated Press reported later that month that a subpoena served on the younger Biden sought information related to more than two dozen entities. One was Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company whose board he had joined when his father was vice president. That move sparked concerns about a potential conflict of interest given that elder Biden was deeply involved in U.S. policy toward Ukraine during the Obama administration.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – While many states are taking action to restrict transgender rights with new legislation, President Joe Biden says he’s making policy changes aimed at making things more equal for transgender people.
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which opponents call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, became law this week.
“We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said.
And just days ago, Oklahoma and Arizona banned transgender girls from competing in women’s sports.
But President Biden is taking the federal government in the opposite direction.
“The onslaught of anti-transgender state laws attacking you and your families is simply wrong,” Biden said.
The Biden administration says starting later this month, passports can use an X to indicate an unspecified gender identity and airport screenings will become more gender-neutral.
Admiral Rachel Levine with the Department of Health and Human Services is transgender herself, so she says she knows how important the new policies are.
“This administration sees them and this administration supports them,” Levine said.
Especially when it comes to younger transgender people, she believes support from the administration makes a difference.
“Trans youth are very vulnerable and they need to be empowered,” Levine said. “We have their back and we’re going to do everything we can to help.”
Harleigh Walker is a transgender teen from Alabama, where lawmakers are considering banning gender-affirming medical treatments for minors.
“It’s been really hurtful to have them constantly just attacking saying things like its child abuse or I need psychological help,” Walker said.
She got to visit the White House this week and meet with officials like Admiral Levine, which made her feel better about the future for her community.
“Puts hope back into me that there is somebody out there who can and is trying to protect me,” Walker said.

It was Rhinos’ fifth defeat in as many games at Headingley this year, making this the worst start to a home season in Leeds’s history.
For the third successive home game, Rhinos failed to score in the first half, but – unlike the drubbings by Hull and Castleford Tigers – they were still in the contest at the break, when they trailed by eight, all those points coming in the opening 19 minutes.
Leeds were still in touch until the 55th minute, but an interception try turned the tide and Saints scored again in the next set to make the result safe.
With Castleford thrashing Toulouse Olympique, Rhinos have dropped a place to second from bottom in Betfred Super League, but last night’s performance gave them something to build on before their next game, at home to Huddersfield Giants in 12 days’ time.
The effort was certainly there and, despite conceding five tries, Leeds defended well for the most part, but their attack let them down, though Saints’ defence was very strong.
Leeds didn’t have a stand-out individual, but captain Kruise Leeming had a real go and Morgan Gannon played well off the bench – and some individuals raised their level from recent matches, without being able to get the job done.
It was the second time in three seasons Leeds have been nilled at home to Saints and they didn’t have possession in the visitors’ half until the 19th minute, by which time they trailed 8-0.
Rhinos regularly ran the ball on the last tackle, but did try some things. Late in the half Austin kicked from the base of a scrum on half-way for Tindall to chase, but Jonny Lomax read it well and got back to snuff out the danger.
Earlier, Leeming landed a terrific 40-20, but a forward pass by Austin to Cameron Smith wasted that opportunity.
The closest Rhinos got was when Leeming almost forced his way over from acting-half on the last, but he was tackled just short.
After all Saints’ territory and possession early on, Rhinos did well to still be in the game at the break.
Konrad Hurrell, playing against his former club for the first time, grabbed the first from James Roby’s pass at the base of a scrum – racing past Jack Broadbent’s missed tackle – after Ash Handley knocked on trying to intercept from Jack Welsby.
Leeming held up Roby over Rhinos’ line, following an error by Tindall, then Handley snapped up a loose ball and raced 80 metres, but the whistle had already gone for a knock-on by Broadbent, making a tackle on Lomax.
High tackles by Sutcliffe and James Bentley on Lomax kept the pressure on and, on the last tackle, Tommy Makinson dived over at the corner from a pass by Welsby.
At the start of the second half, Jon Bennion dropped a high kick by Sutcliffe close to Saints’ line, but on the first play of the resulting set, Tindall was dragged into touch from a pass by Jack Walker, who would have been better taking the tackle.
Moments later, another kick from Sutcliffe was spilled by Makinson and, after a six-again and penalty, Walker cut through from Sutcliffe’s pass, but the touchdown was ruled out for an obstruction. That was the defining moment.
Saints weren’t exactly rocking, but they were being forced to dig deep, but - not for the first time this season - Leeds released the pressure with an error; Sutcliffe threw a no-look pass behind his back a few metres out and Makinson intercepted to go the length of the field for a try which Mark Percival converted.
Then, in the next set, Lewis Dodd finished off an outstanding move involving Percival and Bennison. Percival added a second goal and in the blink of an eye Leeds had gone from threatening to get right back in the game to trailing by 20 and well out of it.
Lomax scored a brilliant solo try, chipping over the defence, with nine minutes left, Pecival adding the extras to complete the scoring.
Muizz Mustapha was called up for the first time this season and came off the bench for the last 16 minutes.

Leeds Rhinos 0 St Helens 26: Another defeat sets unwanted record
The scoreline doesn’t suggest so, but Leeds Rhinos put up a better performance for much of Friday night’s 26-0 defeat by St Helens.
It was Rhinos’ fifth defeat in as many games at Headingley this year, making this the worst start to a home season in Leeds’ history.
For the third successive home game, Rhinos failed to score in the first half, but - unlike the drubbings by Hull and Castleford Tigers - they were still in the contest at the break when they trailed by eight, all those points coming in the opening 19 minutes.
Leeds remained in touch until the 55th minute, but an interception try turned the tide and Saints scored again in the next set to make the result safe.
With Castleford thrashing Toulouse Olympique, Rhinos have dropped a place to second from bottom in Betfred Super League, but Friday night's performance gave them something to build on before their next game, at home to Huddersfield Giants in two weeks' time.
The effort was certainly there and, despite conceding five tries, Leeds defended well for the most part, but their attack let them down, though Saints’ defence was very strong.
Leeds didn’t have a stand-out individual, but captain Kruise Leeming had a real go and Morgan Gannon played well off the bench - and some individuals raised their level from recent matches, without being able to get the job done.
It was the second time in three seasons Leeds have been nilled at home to Saints and they didn’t have possession in the visitors’ half until the 19th minute, by which time they trailed 8-0.
They made it hard for themselves by conceding three penalties and a six-again in the opening 15 minutes and, despite some spirited defence, Saints scored two unconverted tries.
After that, though, Leeds competed well and were the dominant team in the second quarter.
Saints, without their best forward Alex Walmsley, made a series of errors with the ball and Leeds threw a lot of pressure at them, but never really looked like scoring.
Rhinos regularly ran the ball on the last tackle, but did try some things. Late in the half Blake Austin kicked from the base of a scrum on half-way for Liam Tindall to chase, but Jonny Lomax read it well and got back to snuff out the danger.
Earlier, Leeming landed a terrific 40-20, but a forward pass by Austin to Cameron Smith wasted that opportunity.
The closest Rhinos got was when Leeming almost forced his way over from acting-half on the last, but he was tackled just short.
After all Saints’ territory and possession early on, Rhinos did well to still be in the game at the break.
Konrad Hurrell, playing against his former club for the first time, grabbed the first try from James Roby’s pass at the base of a scrum - racing past Jack Broadbent’s missed tackle - after Ash Handley knocked on trying to intercept from Jack Welsby.
Leeming held up Roby over Rhinos’ line, following an error by Tindall, then Handley snapped up a loose ball and raced 80 metres, but the whistle had already gone for a knock-on by Broadbent, making a tackle on Lomax.
High tackles by Sutcliffe and James Bentley on Lomax kept the pressure on and, on the last tackle, Tommy Makinson dived over at the corner from a pass by Welsby.
At the start of the second half, Jon Bennion dropped a high kick by Liam Sutcliffe close to Saints’ line, but on the first play of the resulting set, Tindall was dragged into touch from a pass by Jack Walker, who would have been better taking the tackle.
Moments later, another kick from Sutcliffe was spilled by Makinson and, after a six-again and penalty, Walker cut through from Sutcliffe’s pass, but the touchdown was ruled out for an obstruction. That was the defining moment.

Lomax scored a brilliant solo try, chipping over the defence, with nine minutes left, Pecival adding the extras to complete the scoring.
Rhinos were without number seven Aidan Sezer, because of a groin injury, so Sutcliffe moved into the halves alongside Austin and Broadbent came in at left-centre.
Muizz Mustapha was called up for the first time this season and came off the bench for the last 16 minutes.
Leeds at least managed to keep 13 players on the field throughout. The final penalty count was nine-six in their favour (three-two to Saints in the first 40).

A disastrous start ended Rhinos’ hopes of a third-successive win as Rohan Smith’s side trailed 22-0 after 31 minutes.
Super League takes another break this weekend - its fourth since mid-April - to avoid a clash with Saturday’s mid-season international and Leeds are back in action at champions St Helens on Thursday, June 23. Here’s five talking points.
1: Reality check. The game at Huddersfield was a fair indication of where Rhinos are at the moment. Expectations were raised by the previous week’s 40-4 win away to Warrington, but that was against a struggling side low on confidence. Giants are the opposite and it showed. There’s possibly not a huge difference between the sides from fifth to 11th in the table, but Leeds still have a huge amount of work to do to get on a par with the top four.
2: Consolation. They don’t get anything for it but, after Giants’ early purple patch, Rhinos matched them for the final half an hour, scoring three tries to one. The second half was a big improvement and, though Giants may have eased off with the game won, that’s an indication Smith is able to address problems in games and put them right, which is encouraging.
3: One-man team. Leeds tend to play well whenKruise Leeming does. With him ruled out through illness, they weren’t nearly as effective against Giants and their previous poor performance was at Salford when he played in the halves. The hooker is hugely influential, but Rhinos can’t be reliant on one individual.
4: Newman in the side. Harry Newman’s return, following hamstring surgery, was a big positive. He was, naturally, a little rusty, but looked comfortable and confident, got through unscathed and will make Rhinos a better team when back in the 13.
5: More threat. Rhinos have scored at least three tries in three successive games, for the first time this season. Their attack is improving, though they took a backwards step defensively at Giants.

A gloriously British failure: The lost story of the tweed jacket-wearing and Kendal mint cake-eating band of eccentrics who were the first to try to conquer Everest is finally told 100 years on
Here, frozen in time, is a moment of forgotten greatness in human history. The remarkable photograph on the facing page was taken almost exactly 100 years ago, at 2pm on May 20, 1922, on the roof of the world. But not the very top. Not quite.
Leaning on their ice axes on a 45-degree rock face, Edward Norton and George Mallory gaze upwards towards their goal: the summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain.
Because of overhanging rocks, they cannot actually see the top, but they reckon that vertically it is no more than 2,000ft away. They know, too, that it is tantalisingly out of their reach.
It is numbingly cold, the simple tweed jackets they wear offering minimal protection from the piercing wind and sub-zero temperatures. With night closing in and their progress painfully slow in the rarefied air — they have to stop every 20 minutes to catch their breath and recover — they cannot hope to make it and survive.
They are at nearly 27,000 feet, which is higher than anyone has ever climbed before. But the last leg is beyond them. This is the limit, they must turn back.
The third member of the four-man team that set out for the summit, Howard Somervell — who snapped them with his pocket Kodak camera — is suffering the agonies of frostbite.
Leaning on their ice axes on a 45-degree rock face, Edward Norton and George Mallory (pictured) gaze upwards towards their goal: the summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain
And there is the fourth climber to consider. Six hours earlier, they had to leave Henry Morshead at their final camp, exhausted from altitude sickness. Getting him and themselves off the mountain is now the priority.
For a moment they stand in silent contemplation, boosting their spent energy with mouthfuls of dried fruit, chocolate, Kendal mint cake and pear drops, washed down with slugs of brandy. Then they turn and head back.
Everest, the ultimate challenge for adventurers, is unconquered and will remain so for another 30 years.
The story of that first attempt on the mountain is one history has largely erased. Failure tends to be forgotten. But in its centenary year, that 1922 expedition is celebrated in a gripping new book by mountaineering historian Mick Conefrey. Yes, it was a failure — but a glorious one.
You have to wonder how they even got that far, these gentleman climbers in their hobnailed boots, flimsy clothes, felt hats and motoring gauntlets.
But their bulldog spirit was as breathtaking as the Everest air.
Everest breakfast stop (L-R): Wakefield, Morris, General Bruce, Karma Paul, Geoffrey Bruce, and Norton
Their quest began in 1919 at a packed meeting in London of the Royal Geographical Society. The audience had been drawn there in their hundreds, fascinated by the mountain on the border of Nepal and Tibet that had been discovered 70 years earlier by surveyors in India.
From their trigonometrical calculations, those early surveyors had declared it the highest in the world and, in an act of cultural appropriation, changed its name from Chomolungma, or 'Goddess Mother of the Earth', as the locals called it, to Everest (after a colonial official, Sir George Everest).
But it was so remote that no one from the West had got anywhere near it. The closest was a Captain John Noel, who, before World War I, had travelled from India into Tibet and, from a far distance, had glimpsed what he told the enrapt RGS audience was 'a glittering spire-top of rock fluted with snow'.
It was guarded by foothills and mountains almost as high that would have to be crossed before anyone could try to climb it. But this was a challenge that, with the war over, mankind should take up, he proclaimed — and the society's president, Sir Francis Younghusband, agreed: 'The accomplishment of such a feat will elevate the human spirit,' he declared.
So a committee of worthies was set up and, amid widespread excitement, an expedition was planned. It would be costly but the funds rolled in.

Then there were months of delicate negotiations with the Tibetan religious authorities to obtain permission to trespass on their sacred lands.
But in 1921, with the all-clear given, an initial reconnaissance expedition was dispatched to find a route to the mountain through unmapped, inhospitable terrain and report back before an ascent could even be considered a possibility.
Mallory was on this mission and was dismayed by precipices so forbidding that Everest 'appears not to be intended for climbing'. The North Face and West Face were ruled out as impossibly steep — but eventually a feasible route presented itself, over vast glaciers and then via the north col (pass) and the north ridge to the top.
'We have found our way to the great mountain,' an excited Mallory recorded. The attempt to reach the summit was on.
The man chosen to lead the expedition was an old imperial hand by the name of Charlie Bruce, a larger-than-life military man renowned for introducing shorts into the British Army and keeping fit by carrying an orderly up a mountain every morning.
The rum collection of scientists, adventurers and dreamers selected by Bruce for the expedition proved a far from harmonious crew. Pictured: George Leigh Mallory
As he was 55, portly and with high blood pressure, he was a risky choice for a trek that would stretch every man to his limits.
But it wasn't intended for him to reach the top himself — he would be the logistics boss who planned the venture and set up a base camp at the foot of Everest from which eight climbers, split into two teams of four, could make the actual attempt.
The rum collection of scientists, adventurers and dreamers selected by Bruce for the expedition proved a far from harmonious crew. Strong personalities clashed. There were rivalries, suspicions, backbiting. Secretly they doubted each other's strength and prowess to get the job done.
Odd choices were made. Only after they had reached the Himalayas did the official doctor, Tom Longstaff, reveal he was qualified on paper only and had never practised medicine.
He warned the others not to seek his professional advice 'since it would almost certainly turn out to be wrong. I am, however, willing, if necessary, to sign a certificate of death'.
The most serious quarrel among them, though, was over whether it was acceptable to use oxygen at the highest altitudes. Half of the designated climbers were all for it and stocked up with bulky metal tanks of the gas. The other half thought employing 'technology' wasn't really cricket, old boy.
Just getting to Everest was a huge undertaking, a pioneering mission into the unknown as, for weeks on end, a five-mile-long caravan trekked upwards into Tibet. A hundred Sherpas did the donkey work as guides and porters, carrying equipment and supplies for the 'sahibs' (white men), including 45 tins of Heinz spaghetti, 50 tins of Irish stew and 44 tins of quail in foie gras, which Bruce had ordered from the Army & Navy Stores catalogue.

But good progress was made, and on May 1 they established a Base Camp of tents on an exposed glacier at 16,500ft —12,500ft below the summit. Already it was a race against time, as the monsoon season was just six weeks away.
From there, teams plodded upwards over the ice, through ferocious winds, to set up Camps Two and Three. Above them loomed the North Ridge, which they could really only hope was a sure route to the summit.
Camp Four was pitched on a precarious rock platform at 23,000ft, with cliffs plunging thousands of feet on either side. Here, Mallory, Norton, Somervell and Morshead, the first team of climbers, greedily filled up on 'hoosch', a hot stew of pea soup and ship's biscuits, washed down with cocoa, to boost their energy for what lay ahead. They were brimming with confidence.
The next morning, they carved a way with their axes through crevasses and mounds of snow until, at 25,500 ft, they were able to pitch their tiny A-frame tents at what became Camp Five, ready for the final morning push to the top.

But that night, all four slept badly on bare rock studded with sharp stones. They woke still exhausted. One of Norton's ears had swollen to three times its normal size from frostbite and was oozing pus. The weather had deteriorated, and snow and hailstones bombarded them. Mist made the way ahead unclear.
To add to their woes, a rucksack with all their food fell off the edge, landing on a ledge far below.
Morshead climbed down to retrieve it but was so exhausted afterwards, he couldn't go on. So Mallory, Norton and Somervell pressed ahead until they, too, reached the limit of their endurance and, 2,000 ft short of Everest's summit, turned back, disappointed but alive.
But not out of danger. Heading back, the men were roped together when Norton slipped on a steep snow slope and all four plunged headlong towards a precipice. Death seemed certain until, by some miracle, Mallory managed to dig his ice axe into the snow and hang on, bringing them to a juddering halt just short of the edge.
For seven hours they struggled on, exhausted and dehydrated. Night fell and they had to find their way over the treacherous terrain by the light of just a single lantern before they made it back to the deserted Camp Four.
There, they couldn't find the Primus stoves to brew up and warm up, and had to settle for ice cream concocted from frozen jam, milk and snow. But there they had 'a glorious night's sleep', according to Norton, before heading down to Camp Three and copious amounts of hot tea laced with brandy. Their adventure was over.

Second row, from left, Henry T. Morshead, J.G. Bruce, Arthur William Wakefield, Howard Somervell, John Morris, and Edward F. Norton
But for another of the climbers, George Finch, it was nearing its climax. Heading up in the second team, he passed Mallory's group coming down. He was determined to get to the top. He had a point to prove.
A chemistry lecturer, he was the leading advocate of oxygen and had made enemies with his views. 'I feel certain it will never be climbed without oxygen,' he had said, but others were not convinced. Mallory had denounced oxygen as 'a damned heresy'.
From England, Finch had brought 120 steel cylinders of oxygen and trained extensively in its use since getting to the Himalayas. He prided himself on a more professional approach than the other climbers, whom he thought far too cavalier and gung-ho.
They had settled for wearing standard Alpine clothes of tweed and wool, but he had commissioned his own lightweight coat and trousers of balloon silk lined with eiderdown — the prototype of today's down jackets.
As Finch set out for the summit, by his side were Charlie's cousin Geoffrey Bruce and an experienced mountaineer called Tejbir Bura, a corporal in the Gurkhas, the Nepalese unit of the British Army.
The cylinders were heavy but, as they headed up Everest, the boost from the oxygen — inhaled through makeshift rubber masks via the bladders of footballs — more than compensated for the extra weight.
Their pace up the North Col and on the North Ridge far outstripped what the first group managed with lung power alone. 'The effect of the O2 was remarkable,' Finch recorded. 'We went ahead like a house on fire.'
But conditions were worsening around them. They spent a night above what had been Mallory's Camp Five and sat smoking cigarettes — everyone on the expedition was a smoker — in their tents as a gale-force snowstorm raged around them for hours. The howling wind was so loud they couldn't hear themselves speak.
In a lull the next day, they considered retreating but decided to risk another night on the North Ridge. They slept with their oxygen masks on. The next morning, they set out for the top, Finch and Bruce each carrying four 9lb oxygen cylinders and Tejbir six. He only managed a few yards before collapsing under the extra weight.
Finch and Bruce climbed on for five hours, forced to move diagonally across the sheer North Face to stay out of the vicious head-on wind.
At 27,300ft they stopped. They were now more than 300ft higher than Mallory's party had reached, setting a new record. The summit was 1,700ft above them, just another half-mile of zig-zagging to go.
They were so close. They had oxygen to spare. Finch felt sure he could make it, though he doubted whether Bruce had the stamina left to get there. Should he go on alone?
But then, in the distance, he saw ominous yellow clouds massing. A bad storm was closing in. The risk, he realised, was too great. Even if he reached the top, he would almost certainly die. It was time to turn back. Everest had won again.
Despite their feet going black with frostbite, they raced back down the mountain in just a few hours. At Camp Three, Finch devoured four tins of quail in foie gras, then slept for 14 hours straight in the knowledge that, even though the summit had been beyond them, he had proved his point about oxygen.
If only the expedition had stopped then, it might have been deemed a gallant attempt that fell just short.
But back at Base Camp there was an air of despondency — a sense of defeat that these tough men, despite the physical toll Everest had taken on them, found hard to live with.
The expedition had originally been envisaged as lasting for six months — and now they would be going home, tails between their legs, after just three months. From London, there was pressure from the organisers, concerned that an early return with the job left undone would cause sponsors to withdraw their much-needed funds.
Surely there was time for one last try? So on June 3, Mallory, Finch, Somervell and Crawford left Base Camp and once again trudged upwards, supported by 14 Sherpa porters.
Everyone knew it was a gamble. They were pushing their luck with the weather, dangerously so. The monsoon could come at any time — and the very next day it broke, depositing snow over Camp One. Despite the blizzard conditions, they pressed on to Camp Three at the foot of the North Col — and on the morning of June 7, the party set off again, nervously ploughing on up the col through deepening snow until, just before midday, there was a low boom in the distance.
A huge crack in the snow appeared from nowhere and in an instant an avalanche came hurtling down, burying Mallory and Somervell in wave after wave of snow. Both expected to die.
They didn't, but seven of the porters did, swept over the edge into a deep crevasse and smashed against rocks.
This disaster was the worst of endings. The inescapable fact was that they shouldn't have been there, tempting fate with that desperate last attempt. There were recriminations — Longstaff, the doctor, was furious with Mallory. 'To attempt such a passage after new snow was idiotic,' he raged.
That it was the locals, the so-called 'coolies' — a generic term used by the British for native labourers — who lost their lives made it worse. An anguished Somervell wrote: 'Why, oh why could not one of us Britishers have shared their fate?'
There would also be insinuations of racism, but Mallory, expressing how guilty he felt about the deaths, insisted 'it was not the result of any spirit of recklessness or any carelessness of coolies' lives'.
Despite the spectre of those deaths that continued to hang over them, the expedition members were greeted as heroes when they returned to England.
And rightly so, says author Mick Conefrey. 'For a first attempt it was remarkably successful, setting new world records for the highest point reached and the highest camp ever established.
'It set the style for the huge expeditions to come, created the founding myths of high-altitude climbing, and turned Everest into by far the most famous mountain in the world.'
A hundred years on, it has earned its place in history.

Mount Everest has become such an overcrowded playground that the best way to experience the mountain itself may be to go back in time. Covered in refuse, empty oxygen bottles, even human remains, the peak now sees hundreds of summit attempts each spring, paid by fees of some $50,000 per client. With crowding comes tragedy, such as an avalanche in 2014 that killed 16 Sherpas and an earthquake in 2015 that claimed as many as two dozen climbers. As Jon Krakauer wrote in “Into Thin Air,” his account of a 1996 Everest catastrophe in which eight people died, such losses have become “simply business as usual.”

In “Everest 1922,” the British mountaineering historian Mick Conefrey goes back to the beginning. The book is a nuanced, highly readable chronicle of the first attempt on the summit 100 years ago. It was an age when alpine teams made their own base camps and relied on their own surveying skills to confirm that they had the right peak in front of them. The Himalayas were an unknown frontier, and Mr. Conefrey captures the awe that adventurers felt in their mighty company. After George Mallory, remembered as the party’s most famous member, glimpsed Everest through a break in the clouds, he described “a prodigious white fang excrescent from the jaw of the world.”

A gloriously British failure: The lost story of the tweed jacket-wearing and Kendal mint cake-eating band of eccentrics who were the first to try to conquer Everest is finally told 100 years on
Here, frozen in time, is a moment of forgotten greatness in human history. The remarkable photograph on the facing page was taken almost exactly 100 years ago, at 2pm on May 20, 1922, on the roof of the world. But not the very top. Not quite.
Leaning on their ice axes on a 45-degree rock face, Edward Norton and George Mallory gaze upwards towards their goal: the summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain.
Because of overhanging rocks, they cannot actually see the top, but they reckon that vertically it is no more than 2,000ft away. They know, too, that it is tantalisingly out of their reach.
It is numbingly cold, the simple tweed jackets they wear offering minimal protection from the piercing wind and sub-zero temperatures. With night closing in and their progress painfully slow in the rarefied air — they have to stop every 20 minutes to catch their breath and recover — they cannot hope to make it and survive.
They are at nearly 27,000 feet, which is higher than anyone has ever climbed before. But the last leg is beyond them. This is the limit, they must turn back.
The third member of the four-man team that set out for the summit, Howard Somervell — who snapped them with his pocket Kodak camera — is suffering the agonies of frostbite.
Leaning on their ice axes on a 45-degree rock face, Edward Norton and George Mallory (pictured) gaze upwards towards their goal: the summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain
And there is the fourth climber to consider. Six hours earlier, they had to leave Henry Morshead at their final camp, exhausted from altitude sickness. Getting him and themselves off the mountain is now the priority.
For a moment they stand in silent contemplation, boosting their spent energy with mouthfuls of dried fruit, chocolate, Kendal mint cake and pear drops, washed down with slugs of brandy. Then they turn and head back.
Everest, the ultimate challenge for adventurers, is unconquered and will remain so for another 30 years.
The story of that first attempt on the mountain is one history has largely erased. Failure tends to be forgotten. But in its centenary year, that 1922 expedition is celebrated in a gripping new book by mountaineering historian Mick Conefrey. Yes, it was a failure — but a glorious one.
You have to wonder how they even got that far, these gentleman climbers in their hobnailed boots, flimsy clothes, felt hats and motoring gauntlets.
But their bulldog spirit was as breathtaking as the Everest air.

Their quest began in 1919 at a packed meeting in London of the Royal Geographical Society. The audience had been drawn there in their hundreds, fascinated by the mountain on the border of Nepal and Tibet that had been discovered 70 years earlier by surveyors in India.
From their trigonometrical calculations, those early surveyors had declared it the highest in the world and, in an act of cultural appropriation, changed its name from Chomolungma, or 'Goddess Mother of the Earth', as the locals called it, to Everest (after a colonial official, Sir George Everest).
But it was so remote that no one from the West had got anywhere near it. The closest was a Captain John Noel, who, before World War I, had travelled from India into Tibet and, from a far distance, had glimpsed what he told the enrapt RGS audience was 'a glittering spire-top of rock fluted with snow'.
It was guarded by foothills and mountains almost as high that would have to be crossed before anyone could try to climb it. But this was a challenge that, with the war over, mankind should take up, he proclaimed — and the society's president, Sir Francis Younghusband, agreed: 'The accomplishment of such a feat will elevate the human spirit,' he declared.
So a committee of worthies was set up and, amid widespread excitement, an expedition was planned. It would be costly but the funds rolled in.

Then there were months of delicate negotiations with the Tibetan religious authorities to obtain permission to trespass on their sacred lands.
But in 1921, with the all-clear given, an initial reconnaissance expedition was dispatched to find a route to the mountain through unmapped, inhospitable terrain and report back before an ascent could even be considered a possibility.
Mallory was on this mission and was dismayed by precipices so forbidding that Everest 'appears not to be intended for climbing'. The North Face and West Face were ruled out as impossibly steep — but eventually a feasible route presented itself, over vast glaciers and then via the north col (pass) and the north ridge to the top.
'We have found our way to the great mountain,' an excited Mallory recorded. The attempt to reach the summit was on.
The man chosen to lead the expedition was an old imperial hand by the name of Charlie Bruce, a larger-than-life military man renowned for introducing shorts into the British Army and keeping fit by carrying an orderly up a mountain every morning.
The rum collection of scientists, adventurers and dreamers selected by Bruce for the expedition proved a far from harmonious crew. Pictured: George Leigh Mallory
As he was 55, portly and with high blood pressure, he was a risky choice for a trek that would stretch every man to his limits.
But it wasn't intended for him to reach the top himself — he would be the logistics boss who planned the venture and set up a base camp at the foot of Everest from which eight climbers, split into two teams of four, could make the actual attempt.
The rum collection of scientists, adventurers and dreamers selected by Bruce for the expedition proved a far from harmonious crew. Strong personalities clashed. There were rivalries, suspicions, backbiting. Secretly they doubted each other's strength and prowess to get the job done.
Odd choices were made. Only after they had reached the Himalayas did the official doctor, Tom Longstaff, reveal he was qualified on paper only and had never practised medicine.
He warned the others not to seek his professional advice 'since it would almost certainly turn out to be wrong. I am, however, willing, if necessary, to sign a certificate of death'.
The most serious quarrel among them, though, was over whether it was acceptable to use oxygen at the highest altitudes. Half of the designated climbers were all for it and stocked up with bulky metal tanks of the gas. The other half thought employing 'technology' wasn't really cricket, old boy.
Just getting to Everest was a huge undertaking, a pioneering mission into the unknown as, for weeks on end, a five-mile-long caravan trekked upwards into Tibet. A hundred Sherpas did the donkey work as guides and porters, carrying equipment and supplies for the 'sahibs' (white men), including 45 tins of Heinz spaghetti, 50 tins of Irish stew and 44 tins of quail in foie gras, which Bruce had ordered from the Army & Navy Stores catalogue.

But good progress was made, and on May 1 they established a Base Camp of tents on an exposed glacier at 16,500ft —12,500ft below the summit. Already it was a race against time, as the monsoon season was just six weeks away.
From there, teams plodded upwards over the ice, through ferocious winds, to set up Camps Two and Three. Above them loomed the North Ridge, which they could really only hope was a sure route to the summit.
Camp Four was pitched on a precarious rock platform at 23,000ft, with cliffs plunging thousands of feet on either side. Here, Mallory, Norton, Somervell and Morshead, the first team of climbers, greedily filled up on 'hoosch', a hot stew of pea soup and ship's biscuits, washed down with cocoa, to boost their energy for what lay ahead. They were brimming with confidence.
The next morning, they carved a way with their axes through crevasses and mounds of snow until, at 25,500 ft, they were able to pitch their tiny A-frame tents at what became Camp Five, ready for the final morning push to the top.

But that night, all four slept badly on bare rock studded with sharp stones. They woke still exhausted. One of Norton's ears had swollen to three times its normal size from frostbite and was oozing pus. The weather had deteriorated, and snow and hailstones bombarded them. Mist made the way ahead unclear.
To add to their woes, a rucksack with all their food fell off the edge, landing on a ledge far below.
Morshead climbed down to retrieve it but was so exhausted afterwards, he couldn't go on. So Mallory, Norton and Somervell pressed ahead until they, too, reached the limit of their endurance and, 2,000 ft short of Everest's summit, turned back, disappointed but alive.

In the spring of 2019, I led a team to the Chinese side of Mount Everest to try and solve one of mountaineering's greatest mysteries: Who really was the first to leave their boot prints on its summit? Officially, the tallest mountain on Earth was first ascended by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. But there has always been a chance that pioneering British mountaineers George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Sandy Irvine, who were last seen at 28,200 feet on June 8th, 1924, still "going strong" for the top, might have beat them to the punch. Mallory and Irvine, wearing wool and gabardine, hobnailed leather boots and homemade oxygen sets, disappeared into a swirling cloud on that fateful day, never to be seen alive again. Ever since, the question of whether they might have made the top before falling or succumbing to the elements has stirred the collective imagination of the mountaineering world.

As he was 55, portly and with high blood pressure, he was a risky choice for a trek that would stretch every man to his limits.
But it wasn't intended for him to reach the top himself — he would be the logistics boss who planned the venture and set up a base camp at the foot of Everest from which eight climbers, split into two teams of four, could make the actual attempt.
The rum collection of scientists, adventurers and dreamers selected by Bruce for the expedition proved a far from harmonious crew. Strong personalities clashed. There were rivalries, suspicions, backbiting. Secretly they doubted each other's strength and prowess to get the job done.
Odd choices were made. Only after they had reached the Himalayas did the official doctor, Tom Longstaff, reveal he was qualified on paper only and had never practised medicine.
He warned the others not to seek his professional advice 'since it would almost certainly turn out to be wrong. I am, however, willing, if necessary, to sign a certificate of death'.
The most serious quarrel among them, though, was over whether it was acceptable to use oxygen at the highest altitudes. Half of the designated climbers were all for it and stocked up with bulky metal tanks of the gas. The other half thought employing 'technology' wasn't really cricket, old boy.
Just getting to Everest was a huge undertaking, a pioneering mission into the unknown as, for weeks on end, a five-mile-long caravan trekked upwards into Tibet. A hundred Sherpas did the donkey work as guides and porters, carrying equipment and supplies for the 'sahibs' (white men), including 45 tins of Heinz spaghetti, 50 tins of Irish stew and 44 tins of quail in foie gras, which Bruce had ordered from the Army & Navy Stores catalogue.

But good progress was made, and on May 1 they established a Base Camp of tents on an exposed glacier at 16,500ft —12,500ft below the summit. Already it was a race against time, as the monsoon season was just six weeks away.
From there, teams plodded upwards over the ice, through ferocious winds, to set up Camps Two and Three. Above them loomed the North Ridge, which they could really only hope was a sure route to the summit.
Camp Four was pitched on a precarious rock platform at 23,000ft, with cliffs plunging thousands of feet on either side. Here, Mallory, Norton, Somervell and Morshead, the first team of climbers, greedily filled up on 'hoosch', a hot stew of pea soup and ship's biscuits, washed down with cocoa, to boost their energy for what lay ahead. They were brimming with confidence.
The next morning, they carved a way with their axes through crevasses and mounds of snow until, at 25,500 ft, they were able to pitch their tiny A-frame tents at what became Camp Five, ready for the final morning push to the top.

But that night, all four slept badly on bare rock studded with sharp stones. They woke still exhausted. One of Norton's ears had swollen to three times its normal size from frostbite and was oozing pus. The weather had deteriorated, and snow and hailstones bombarded them. Mist made the way ahead unclear.
To add to their woes, a rucksack with all their food fell off the edge, landing on a ledge far below.
Morshead climbed down to retrieve it but was so exhausted afterwards, he couldn't go on. So Mallory, Norton and Somervell pressed ahead until they, too, reached the limit of their endurance and, 2,000 ft short of Everest's summit, turned back, disappointed but alive.
But not out of danger. Heading back, the men were roped together when Norton slipped on a steep snow slope and all four plunged headlong towards a precipice. Death seemed certain until, by some miracle, Mallory managed to dig his ice axe into the snow and hang on, bringing them to a juddering halt just short of the edge.
For seven hours they struggled on, exhausted and dehydrated. Night fell and they had to find their way over the treacherous terrain by the light of just a single lantern before they made it back to the deserted Camp Four.
There, they couldn't find the Primus stoves to brew up and warm up, and had to settle for ice cream concocted from frozen jam, milk and snow. But there they had 'a glorious night's sleep', according to Norton, before heading down to Camp Three and copious amounts of hot tea laced with brandy. Their adventure was over.
The 1922 British expedition to Mount Everest. First row, from left: George Mallory, George Ingle Finch, Tom George Longstaff, C. Geoffrey Bruce, Edward L. Strutt, Colin Grant Crawford. Second row, from left, Henry T. Morshead, J.G. Bruce, Arthur William Wakefield, Howard Somervell, John Morris, and Edward F. Norton
But for another of the climbers, George Finch, it was nearing its climax. Heading up in the second team, he passed Mallory's group coming down. He was determined to get to the top. He had a point to prove.
A chemistry lecturer, he was the leading advocate of oxygen and had made enemies with his views. 'I feel certain it will never be climbed without oxygen,' he had said, but others were not convinced. Mallory had denounced oxygen as 'a damned heresy'.
From England, Finch had brought 120 steel cylinders of oxygen and trained extensively in its use since getting to the Himalayas. He prided himself on a more professional approach than the other climbers, whom he thought far too cavalier and gung-ho.
They had settled for wearing standard Alpine clothes of tweed and wool, but he had commissioned his own lightweight coat and trousers of balloon silk lined with eiderdown — the prototype of today's down jackets.
As Finch set out for the summit, by his side were Charlie's cousin Geoffrey Bruce and an experienced mountaineer called Tejbir Bura, a corporal in the Gurkhas, the Nepalese unit of the British Army.
The cylinders were heavy but, as they headed up Everest, the boost from the oxygen — inhaled through makeshift rubber masks via the bladders of footballs — more than compensated for the extra weight.
Their pace up the North Col and on the North Ridge far outstripped what the first group managed with lung power alone. 'The effect of the O2 was remarkable,' Finch recorded. 'We went ahead like a house on fire.'
But conditions were worsening around them. They spent a night above what had been Mallory's Camp Five and sat smoking cigarettes — everyone on the expedition was a smoker — in their tents as a gale-force snowstorm raged around them for hours. The howling wind was so loud they couldn't hear themselves speak.
In a lull the next day, they considered retreating but decided to risk another night on the North Ridge. They slept with their oxygen masks on. The next morning, they set out for the top, Finch and Bruce each carrying four 9lb oxygen cylinders and Tejbir six. He only managed a few yards before collapsing under the extra weight.
Finch and Bruce climbed on for five hours, forced to move diagonally across the sheer North Face to stay out of the vicious head-on wind.
At 27,300ft they stopped. They were now more than 300ft higher than Mallory's party had reached, setting a new record. The summit was 1,700ft above them, just another half-mile of zig-zagging to go.
They were so close. They had oxygen to spare. Finch felt sure he could make it, though he doubted whether Bruce had the stamina left to get there. Should he go on alone?
But then, in the distance, he saw ominous yellow clouds massing. A bad storm was closing in. The risk, he realised, was too great. Even if he reached the top, he would almost certainly die. It was time to turn back. Everest had won again.
Despite their feet going black with frostbite, they raced back down the mountain in just a few hours. At Camp Three, Finch devoured four tins of quail in foie gras, then slept for 14 hours straight in the knowledge that, even though the summit had been beyond them, he had proved his point about oxygen.
If only the expedition had stopped then, it might have been deemed a gallant attempt that fell just short.
But back at Base Camp there was an air of despondency — a sense of defeat that these tough men, despite the physical toll Everest had taken on them, found hard to live with.
The expedition had originally been envisaged as lasting for six months — and now they would be going home, tails between their legs, after just three months. From London, there was pressure from the organisers, concerned that an early return with the job left undone would cause sponsors to withdraw their much-needed funds.
Surely there was time for one last try? So on June 3, Mallory, Finch, Somervell and Crawford left Base Camp and once again trudged upwards, supported by 14 Sherpa porters.
Everyone knew it was a gamble. They were pushing their luck with the weather, dangerously so. The monsoon could come at any time — and the very next day it broke, depositing snow over Camp One. Despite the blizzard conditions, they pressed on to Camp Three at the foot of the North Col — and on the morning of June 7, the party set off again, nervously ploughing on up the col through deepening snow until, just before midday, there was a low boom in the distance.
A huge crack in the snow appeared from nowhere and in an instant an avalanche came hurtling down, burying Mallory and Somervell in wave after wave of snow. Both expected to die.
They didn't, but seven of the porters did, swept over the edge into a deep crevasse and smashed against rocks.
This disaster was the worst of endings. The inescapable fact was that they shouldn't have been there, tempting fate with that desperate last attempt. There were recriminations — Longstaff, the doctor, was furious with Mallory. 'To attempt such a passage after new snow was idiotic,' he raged.
That it was the locals, the so-called 'coolies' — a generic term used by the British for native labourers — who lost their lives made it worse. An anguished Somervell wrote: 'Why, oh why could not one of us Britishers have shared their fate?'
There would also be insinuations of racism, but Mallory, expressing how guilty he felt about the deaths, insisted 'it was not the result of any spirit of recklessness or any carelessness of coolies' lives'.
Despite the spectre of those deaths that continued to hang over them, the expedition members were greeted as heroes when they returned to England.
And rightly so, says author Mick Conefrey. 'For a first attempt it was remarkably successful, setting new world records for the highest point reached and the highest camp ever established.
'It set the style for the huge expeditions to come, created the founding myths of high-altitude climbing, and turned Everest into by far the most famous mountain in the world.'
A hundred years on, it has earned its place in history.

In the spring of 2019, I led a team to the Chinese side of Mount Everest to try and solve one of mountaineering's greatest mysteries: Who really was the first to leave their boot prints on its summit? Officially, the tallest mountain on Earth was first ascended by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. But there has always been a chance that pioneering British mountaineers George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Sandy Irvine, who were last seen at 28,200 feet on June 8th, 1924, still "going strong" for the top, might have beat them to the punch. Mallory and Irvine, wearing wool and gabardine, hobnailed leather boots and homemade oxygen sets, disappeared into a swirling cloud on that fateful day, never to be seen alive again. Ever since, the question of whether they might have made the top before falling or succumbing to the elements has stirred the collective imagination of the mountaineering world.

A credit score is a mathematical formula designed to tell a company how likely a person is to pay off a loan completely and on-time. Companies use them to make decisions on whether a person should be offered a mortgage, credit card, auto loan or other credit product.
Credit scores are frequently a source of frustration for many social media users, and people’s complaints about the reliability of this widely used credit scoring system have been shared hundreds of thousands of times.
One recurring claim about credit scores is that the universal credit score used today wasn't invented until 1989.
THE QUESTION
Were credit scores as we know them today invented in 1989?
THE SOURCES
- FICO
- Equifax
- Fair Credit Reporting Act
- Equal Credit Opportunity Act
- John Ulzheimer, a credit expert who writes for badcredit.org
THE ANSWER
Yes, Fair, Isaac and Company, now known as FICO, created its universal credit score in 1989; the FICO score is used in the majority of lending decisions today. However, credit reporting and more industry-specific credit scoring existed before the universal credit score.
WHAT WE FOUND
Credit bureaus have existed in the United States since the 1800s. These bureaus put together reports on a consumer’s lending history, and until government regulations in the 1970s, included personal information like marital status, race and gender. Companies began developing and using scores specific to certain credit industries, such as credit cards, in the mid-to-late 1900s, but there wasn’t a universal score that was uniformly applied to all lending situations until 1989.
The first universal, personal credit score was created by Fair, Isaac and Company, now known as FICO, in 1989. FICO was unique because its credit score was universal — one score that could be applied to all credit offers regardless of industry. The FICO score, which ranges between 300 and 850, is used today in the vast majority of lending decisions.
“We launched the FICO Score in 1989 as a universal and impartial tool for evaluating credit risk, and in 1991, it became available from all three major U.S. credit reporting agencies,” a FICO employee said in a company blog post. “We weren’t the first or only scoring option available at all three major credit bureaus, but we were the first with a common design blueprint.”
Credit reporting, and even industry specific credit scoring, had existed long before then, but credit scores were often individualized for certain industries and would be based on different criteria from company to company.
Credit-reporting bureaus were first established in the mid-1800s to collect information on consumers’ lending histories, although they were often small and locally based, said credit expert John Ulzheimer in an article on badcredit.org. One such bureau, founded in Atlanta in 1899 as Retail Credit Company, later became Equifax, one of today’s three major credit-reporting bureaus.
But businesses often made decisions on whether to grant a person loans based on subjective character judgments and biases throughout much of America’s history, even through the late 1900s.
“Early credit reporting wasn’t without its problems,” Ulzheimer said. “It was often subjective, unfair, and didn’t lend itself to consistent credit decisions. In response to these problems, Congress passed a series of laws designed with consumer protection in mind.”
The first of those laws was the Fair Credit Reporting Act in 1970, which required credit reports to be accessible to the people they apply to, put time limits on negative information included in credit reports and limit who can look at a person’s credit report. The second was the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which is a civil rights law to prevent lenders from discriminating by race, religion, gender and a host of other personal characteristics that are irrelevant to a person’s lending history. These laws also worked to limit what information on consumers credit-reporting bureaus could keep.
At this time, the company that is now FICO had been working on developing automated credit scoring in an attempt to reduce or remove the subjectivity in lending decisions. It built its first credit scoring system for the American investment industry back in 1958, just two years after its founding. Their early scores were for specific industries or companies, such as scores for credit card lenders to base decisions on.
In 1989, FICO built the BEACON score for Equifax; Equifax still calls its version of the FICO score BEACON to this day. All three major credit bureaus began using FICO scores by 1991. FICO claims its scores are used by 90% of top lenders today.
But today’s credit scores are still plagued by many of the problems that have long existed in credit reporting. Although each credit bureau uses the same formula or very similar formulas, the data they keep in their reports can be different — and sometimes inaccurate. Credit scores can also continue reinforcing the biases it was meant to eliminate.
“A FICO score is probably a more impartial way to handle credit approval than just having some bank representative make a superficial judgment about potential applicants,” said the writers at financial management education blog OppU. “But algorithms can actually reinforce racial disparities that already exist.”
People without credit scores, estimated to be 45 million Americans, tend to be low-income, younger, and minorities, the U.S. Government Accountability Office said in Jan. 2022. That’s led the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to explore more widespread inclusion of alternative data, such as rent and utility payments, in credit reporting.

The first of those laws was the Fair Credit Reporting Act in 1970, which required credit reports to be accessible to the people they apply to, put time limits on negative information included in credit reports and limit who can look at a person’s credit report. The second was the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which is a civil rights law to prevent lenders from discriminating by race, religion, gender and a host of other personal characteristics that are irrelevant to a person’s lending history. These laws also worked to limit what information on consumers credit-reporting bureaus could keep.
At this time, the company that is now FICO had been working on developing automated credit scoring in an attempt to reduce or remove the subjectivity in lending decisions. It built its first credit scoring system for the American investment industry back in 1958, just two years after its founding. Their early scores were for specific industries or companies, such as scores for credit card lenders to base decisions on.
In 1989, FICO built the BEACON score for Equifax; Equifax still calls its version of the FICO score BEACON to this day. All three major credit bureaus began using FICO scores by 1991. FICO claims its scores are used by 90% of top lenders today.
But today’s credit scores are still plagued by many of the problems that have long existed in credit reporting. Although each credit bureau uses the same formula or very similar formulas, the data they keep in their reports can be different — and sometimes inaccurate. Credit scores can also continue reinforcing the biases it was meant to eliminate.
“A FICO score is probably a more impartial way to handle credit approval than just having some bank representative make a superficial judgment about potential applicants,” said the writers at financial management education blog OppU. “But algorithms can actually reinforce racial disparities that already exist.”
People without credit scores, estimated to be 45 million Americans, tend to be low-income, younger, and minorities, the U.S. Government Accountability Office said in Jan. 2022. That’s led the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to explore more widespread inclusion of alternative data, such as rent and utility payments, in credit reporting.

A credit score is a mathematical formula designed to tell a company how likely a person is to pay off a loan completely and on-time. Companies use them to make decisions on whether a person should be offered a mortgage, credit card, auto loan or other credit product.
Credit scores are frequently a source of frustration for many social media users, and people’s complaints about the reliability of this widely used credit scoring system have been shared hundreds of thousands of times.
One recurring claim about credit scores is that the universal credit score used today wasn't invented until 1989.
THE QUESTION
Were credit scores as we know them today invented in 1989?
THE SOURCES
- FICO
- Equifax
- Fair Credit Reporting Act
- Equal Credit Opportunity Act
- John Ulzheimer, a credit expert who writes for badcredit.org
THE ANSWER
Yes, Fair, Isaac and Company, now known as FICO, created its universal credit score in 1989; the FICO score is used in the majority of lending decisions today. However, credit reporting and more industry-specific credit scoring existed before the universal credit score.
WHAT WE FOUND
Credit bureaus have existed in the United States since the 1800s. These bureaus put together reports on a consumer’s lending history, and until government regulations in the 1970s, included personal information like marital status, race and gender. Companies began developing and using scores specific to certain credit industries, such as credit cards, in the mid-to-late 1900s, but there wasn’t a universal score that was uniformly applied to all lending situations until 1989.
The first universal, personal credit score was created by Fair, Isaac and Company, now known as FICO, in 1989. FICO was unique because its credit score was universal — one score that could be applied to all credit offers regardless of industry. The FICO score, which ranges between 300 and 850, is used today in the vast majority of lending decisions.
“We launched the FICO Score in 1989 as a universal and impartial tool for evaluating credit risk, and in 1991, it became available from all three major U.S. credit reporting agencies,” a FICO employee said in a company blog post. “We weren’t the first or only scoring option available at all three major credit bureaus, but we were the first with a common design blueprint.”
Credit reporting, and even industry specific credit scoring, had existed long before then, but credit scores were often individualized for certain industries and would be based on different criteria from company to company.
Credit-reporting bureaus were first established in the mid-1800s to collect information on consumers’ lending histories, although they were often small and locally based, said credit expert John Ulzheimer in an article on badcredit.org. One such bureau, founded in Atlanta in 1899 as Retail Credit Company, later became Equifax, one of today’s three major credit-reporting bureaus.

After five years, Ryan Murphy’s anthology series, Feud, is reportedly returning to FX with an all-new installment starring Naomi Watts, ET has confirmed. The second season, which follows 2017’s Bette and Joan, will be called Capote’s Women and focus on the falling out between author Truman Capote and several of his female friends.
The eight-part season will be adapted from Laurence Leamer’s Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era by showrunner Joan Robin Baitz and directed by Gus Van Sant.
Watts, who most recently portrayed Gretchen Carlson in Showtime’s The Loudest Voice, will star as Babe Paley, a New York City socialite who kept a circle of high-society friends that included Slim Keith. The two friends along with Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, and C.Z. Guest became known as Capote’s “swans” – that is until he betrayed their trust with the 1975 Esquire article, “La Côte Basque 1965,” which was an excerpt from Answered Prayers, his anticipated follow-up to In Cold Blood.
Gloria Guinness, Truman Capote, and Barbara "Babe" Paley
Feud also marks Watts’ second project with Murphy following The Watcher on Netflix. The upcoming miniseries based on a 2018 New York Magazine article tells the real-life story of a couple harassed through letters by a stalker shortly after moving into their dream home.
The first installment of Murphy’s anthology series, meanwhile, starred Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis as the season recounted the notorious filming of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?.
The news of Feud season 2 was first reported by Deadline.

The second season, which follows 2017’s Bette and Joan, will be called Capote’s Women and focus on the falling out between author Truman Capote and several of his female friends.
The eight-part season will be adapted from Laurence Leamer’s Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era by showrunner Joan Robin Baitz and directed by Gus Van Sant.
Watts, who most recently portrayed Gretchen Carlson in Showtime’s The Loudest Voice, will star as Babe Paley, a New York City socialite who kept a circle of high-society friends that included Slim Keith. The two friends along with Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, and C.Z. Guest became known as Capote’s “swans” – that is until he betrayed their trust with the 1975 Esquire article, “La Côte Basque 1965,” which was an excerpt from Answered Prayers, his anticipated follow-up to In Cold Blood.

Feud also marks Watts’ second project with Murphy following The Watcher on Netflix. The upcoming miniseries based on a 2018 New York Magazine article tells the real-life story of a couple harassed through letters by a stalker shortly after moving into their dream home.
The first installment of Murphy’s anthology series, meanwhile, starred Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis as the season recounted the notorious filming of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?.
The news of Feud season 2 was first reported by Deadline.

Academy accepts Smith´s `immediate resignation´ ahead of disciplinary hearing
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences says it has accepted Will Smith’s “immediate resignation” from the organisation and will “continue to move forward” with its disciplinary proceedings against him.
The actor said he was “heartbroken” and would accept any consequences that emerged from his scheduled hearing in a statement announcing his decision.
His statement also said he had “betrayed the trust” of the Academy and “deprived” his fellow nominees and winners the opportunity to celebrate their achievements on the night.
“We have received and accepted Mr Will Smith’s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,” Academy president David Rubin said in a subsequent statement, shared with the PA news agency.
“We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.”
Smith, 53, won best actor for King Richard, but stormed on stage before his win after reacting to a joke made by Chris Rock which referred to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head.
The formal review will take place on April 18, when the Academy board will meet to discuss what disciplinary measures will be taken.
“I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct,” Smith’s statement read.
“My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable.
“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy.
“I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.
“I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film.
“So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.
“Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
Prior to his resignation, Hollywood trade outlet Variety reported that Smith met leaders of the Academy on Tuesday to discuss his outburst and apologised to chief executive Dawn Hudson and Rubin.
Showrunner Will Packer also told Good Morning America that the actor had called him the morning after the ceremony to apologise for the incident.
Packer also said he initially thought the incident was something Rock and Smith had planned together.
He said: “I thought this was part of something that Chris and Will were doing on their own, I thought it was a bit… like everybody else, I knew we hadn’t practised it.
“I wasn’t concerned at all (as Smith was walking on the stage). I figured OK, he’s going to say something or come at him, something funny is going to happen because that’s the nature of Chris and that’s the nature of Will, so let’s see what happens.
“Once I saw Will yelling at the stage with such vitriol my heart dropped and I just remember thinking ‘Oh no, not like this’.”
He also revealed that following the incident the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) had been “prepared” to arrest Smith, telling Rock he had been the victim of “battery”.
The comedian had been “very dismissive” of the options given to him by LAPD officers and had “not wanted to make a bad situation worse,” Packer told the US show.
He said: “Shayla (Cowan, co-producer) told me that they were about to physically remove Will Smith and I had not been a part of those conversations.
“So I immediately went to the Academy leadership that was on site and I said, ‘Chris Rock doesn’t want that’.
“I said, ‘Rock has made it clear that he does not want to make a bad situation worse’. That was Chris’s energy. His tone was not retaliatory. His tone was not angry.
“So, I was advocating what Rock wanted at that time, which was not to physically remove Will Smith at that time. Because, as it had now been explained to me, that was the only option at that point.
“It has been explained to me that there was a conversation that I was not a part of, to ask him to voluntarily leave.”
Smith publicly apologised to Rock online after incident, saying “violence in all its forms is poisonous and destructive” and Pinkett Smith called for a “season of healing”.

Will Smith resigns from the Academy as ‘inexcusable’ Oscars behaviour rumbles on
Will Smith said he had “betrayed the trust of the Academy” as he resigned from the organisation, following his “shocking, painful, and inexcusable” actions at the Oscars.
The actor, 53, said he was “heartbroken” and would accept any consequences that emerged from his scheduled disciplinary hearing, in a statement announcing his decision.
It comes less than a week on from the ceremony, during which Smith took to the stage and slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head.
Moments later he was awarded the Oscar for best actor for his performance in King Richard and gave a tearful acceptance speech about the importance of protecting family.
The Academy said it had received his resignation and would push forward with disciplinary proceedings against him, the details of which are to be discussed at a board meeting on April 18.
On Friday, Smith apologised again to his fellow nominees and winners for having “deprived” them of the opportunity to celebrate their achievements on the night.
“I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct,” he said in a statement.
“My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable.
“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy.

“So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.”
He added: “Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
A subsequent statement from Academy president David Rubin said: “We have received and accepted Mr Will Smith’s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
“We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.”
At the meeting Academy board members will discuss what disciplinary measures will be taken.
Prior to his resignation, Hollywood trade outlet Variety reported that Smith met leaders of the Academy on Tuesday to discuss his outburst and apologised to Rubin and chief executive Dawn Hudson.

CHICAGO – One of the most exciting days at the 31-year old ballpark remains the first one of any given Major League Baseball season.
The home opener at Guaranteed Rate Field is always a celebrated moment for White Sox fans, and that’s especially the case in 2022. No games ended up being canceled due to the lockout, with the first home game only moved back a few weeks, and unlike 2021 there will be no attendance restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On top of that, the capacity crowd expected for the contest against the Mariners on April 12th will see the reigning American League Central division champions make another run towards the franchise’s first World Series title in 17 years.
While the minds of the White Sox will naturally be on their team and fans that day, it’s also on a major crisis going on in the world at the moment: Russia’s attack on Ukraine. To do that, the club is turning a traditional raffle into a fundraiser of sorts for that cause.
This week, the White Sox announced that 100 percent of the proceeds from their Opening Day 50/50 raffle will be donated to two efforts to help those in Ukraine: UNICEF and World Central Kitchen. Both of those organizations have been aiding children and families in Ukraine since the attacks by Russia began.
Fans can actually start buying tickets for the raffle online here and can continue to do so up until the 7th inning of the April 12th game against the Mariners.
“White Sox charities has always been really focused on helping children and families in crisis, and this is just an opportunity to really meet the crisis of the moment,” said Chicago White Sox Charities executive director Christine O’Reilly to WGN News Now about the decision to donate to the Ukraine relief effort. “So we just felt like for Opening Day, we have just amazing fan support, and what a better way to kinda share the excitement Opening Day and our 50/50 ‘Sox Split’ raffle with those who really could use it the most.”
Traditionally the raffle proceeds have been donated to an organization in Chicago, but the decision was made to send them to a pair of worldwide organizations due to the urgency of the situation in Europe.
UNICEF has been in Ukraine for 25 years and is currently providing both health care and supplies to families in need. World Central Kitchen has started a “#ChefsForUkraine” effort as they’ve continued to distribute food to those in the country or people who have been displaced due to the attack.
“There was a bunch of Chicago restaurants recently who had done something to benefit World Central Kitchen, so we felt like just trying to amplify that work,” said O’Reilly. “Really just providing some assistance where it’s so critically important and needed.”
This effort joins the many that are underway in Chicago to aid the people affected by the Russian attacks, especially in the city’s Ukrainian Village neighborhood. For O’Reilly, it’s important that the White Sox can join that effort in their own way this April.
“We just felt like this is one way to just let people know that we’re here, we hear them, we feel their pain, and we wanted to get to two agencies where we knew right now, today, they’ve got boots on the ground and providing these really essential basic needs to people who really hurting,” said O’Reilly.

50/50 raffle at Sox opener to boost humanitarian efforts in Ukraine
The Chicago White Sox's first 2022 home game is going to be slightly different -- at least with its Opening Day Sox Split 50/50 raffle.
Instead of aiding Chicago-area nonprofits, the raffle proceeds are going to international charities helping children and families suffering because of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
"One of the things we really focus on is kids and families in crisis," said Christine O'Reilly, executive director of Chicago White Sox Charities, which sponsors home game Sox Split 50/50 raffles with Wintrust Bank.
"It's just hard to escape the devastating trauma that so many children and families are experiencing in Ukraine and those Ukrainians who have been displaced from their homes," O'Reilly said.
Since the early 1990s, Chicago White Sox Charities has presented 50/50 raffles for home games. Half the donation jackpot goes to a raffle winner, while the rest of the proceeds are made into philanthropic grants to support Chicago-area community groups and charities that range from cancer research to youth education.
But this year, Chicago White Sox Charities is steering Opening Day Sox Split raffle proceeds to the humanitarian organizations UNICEF and World Central Kitchen.
"They are right there with boots on the ground providing the most basic, essential services," O'Reilly said.
UNICEF is a provides emergency relief, health care and immunizations, sanitation, education and more across the world.
World Central Kitchen was founded in 2010 by famed Chef José Andrés specifically to provide meals amid humanitarian, climate and community crises. Andrés himself has recently been documented alongside World Central Kitchen humanitarians providing food to residents of Ukrainian cities that were previously occupied by Russian forces.
And to encourage Sox fans to purchase Opening Day 50/50 raffle tickets, Chicago White Sox Charities has sweetened the initial jackpot with $50,000. That means the eventual winner will take home at least $25,000, and $25,000 will be going to UNICEF and World Central Kitchen.
Last year, O'Reilly said, the Opening Day Sox Split 50/50 raffle jackpot nearly hit $200,000. She hopes that this year's jackpot will be much higher by the time it ends at the conclusion of the seventh inning in today's opener.
"We raise money thanks to the generosity of White Sox fans," O'Reilly said. "It's really about meeting the urgency of the crisis."

April 30, 2022
President Biden announced last Thursday that another $800 million in military aid would be sent to Ukraine to help in the fight against invading Russian forces.
The President remarked that his actions “sent an unmistakable message to Putin: He will never succeed in dominating and occupying all of Ukraine.” As the world watches, the Ukrainian people have fought back with such tenacity and an unbending spirit. I know I can speak for everyone at Truman Heartland Community Foundation (THCF) when I say our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine, and we are in absolute awe of their resolve.
THCF has been assisting fundholders in awarding more than $37,000 to charitable organizations assisting with Ukrainian relief since this needless war began in February, funding much-needed humanitarian efforts for those fleeing the violence. While the President and our nation’s allies send aid to the Ukrainian military, the outpouring of local fundholder support for the people of Ukraine has been heartening.
Each day that passes is another day the Ukrainian people suffer. Like many of you, I often feel powerless in situations like this, when a crisis is so urgent and dire. And although I have leaned on my faith, I know prayers alone will not stop the Russian incursion.
Each year, the THCF allocates a modest amount of funding that, as the President & CEO, I can use in support of community-focused activities that come up throughout the year. So, when I received a request for an upcoming Ukraine Relief Benefit Fundraiser, I knew this was an opportunity to do something in our community that would impact people well beyond our borders.
Truman Heartland Community Foundation is proud to sponsor The Czech/Slovak Club of Kansas City’s Ukraine Relief Benefit Fundraiser happening Friday, May 6, 2022, at the Mike Onka Memorial Hall. Located just inside the William Henry Harrison Park at 11520 Putnam St. in Sugar Creek, the event will feature the tastes and sounds of Eastern Europe. With beer and wine tastings, live ethnic music, food trucks, and loads of entertainment, it is sure to be a hugely successful event. Tickets are just $35 and can be purchased at slavicfest.com/together-ukraine.
The UN’s refugee agency has reported that more than 1.7 million people have become refugees due to the Russian invasion. And as is often the case, women, children, marginalized communities, and the poor have been the most profoundly affected. Funds raised at the Ukraine Relief Benefit Fundraiser will support specific organizations in the Czech and Slovak Republics providing humanitarian aid to displaced Ukrainian refugees. Support may include transportation, medical and mental health services, accommodations, food, and clothing to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity.
If you feel powerless, take action and get involved in any way you can. I invite you to come out and enjoy the Ukraine Relief Benefit Fundraiser, donate to humanitarian organizations like People in Need or Heart to Heart International, and continue to pray for peace.
Phil Hanson is the President and CEO of Truman Heartland Community Foundation. Truman Heartland Community Foundation (THCF) is a 501(c)(3) public charity committed to improving the communities in and around Eastern Jackson County through cooperation with community members and donors. THCF serves the region with assets of more than $50 million and annual grants surpassing $4.8 million. For more information on charitable giving, visit www.thcf.org or call Truman Heartland at 816.836.8189.

ST. LOUIS – You can help contribute to a worthy cause while possibly pocketing cash and helping to cheer the St. Louis Blues on to victory Friday night.
The Blues 50/50 Raffle gives people a chance to win a nice pot of cash. It also benefits Blues For Kids and Blues Alumni and the work those groups do in our community.
The raffle pot is growing quickly as the Blues keep their playoff run going. It will surely get bigger with Game 6 Friday night at the Enterprise Center between the Blues and the Colorado Avalanche.
At the start of each playoff round, a new 50/50 raffle opens and runs for the full round of the playoffs. During the regular season, the 50/50 raffle typically renews for each game.
A winner is drawn at the end of each playoff round. Then that winner gets half of the pot and the rest of it benefits Blues For Kids and Blues Alumni.
The current 50/50 raffle round started on May 17th and it currently sits at $86,000. You do not need to attend the game to purchase raffle tickets. They can also be purchased online. The raffle is open to Missouri and Illinois residents.
There is a Robert Bortuzzo special going on where you can buy 175 raffle tickets for $41. Bortuzzo’s number is 41.
Blues officials tell us Blues for Kids, the charitable trust of the St. Louis Blues, has a mission to positively impact programs and services that improve health and wellness of youth in the St. Louis area.
Blues For Kids focuses on four areas of giving, which include cancer care and awareness, health and wellness, education and youth hockey development.
The Blues tell us that thanks to the commitment of Blues players, alumni, volunteers and fans, Blues for Kids has contributed more than $9.4 million to the St. Louis community.
Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues Alumni Association was established in 1988 with the mission to give back to the sport, the communities, and people who have given so much to us.
The Blues say thanks to the commitment of the alumni, the St. Louis Blues organization, volunteers, and fans, the Blues Alumni has contributed millions to the St. Louis community and beyond.

Kwasi Kwarteng looks set to intervene in Chinese takeover of Britain's leading semiconductor maker: Pressure to unwind sale of Newport Wafer Fab
- Kwarteng under pressure after national security advisers appeared to back sale
- Industry experts and politicians horrified important UK manufacturer was sold
- Business Secretary looking at new powers to investigate sale
Kwasi Kwarteng looks set to intervene in the Chinese takeover of Britain's leading semiconductor maker.
The Business Secretary is under pressure to act after national security advisers appeared to back Newport Wafer Fab's sale.
The deal continues to cause alarm among industry experts and politicians who are horrified an important UK manufacturer was sold to a Chinese firm without scrutiny – especially as the world is battling a microchip shortage.
The Mail understands Kwarteng is now looking at new powers to investigate the sale, which could even result in it being reversed.
Under pressure: Kwasi Kwarteng looks set to intervene in the Chinese takeover of Britain's leading semiconductor maker
It would be the first major test of the National Security and Investment Act's provision that allows ministers to call in takeovers of strategic companies after they have already gone through.
And it comes as Kwarteng weighs up whether to approve a number of foreign deals, including the £2.6billion sale of Ultra Electronics to US private equity group Advent International and Viasat's £5.4billion bid for Inmarsat.
The Government has typically taken a strong line on Chinese investment – refusing to include Huawei in the 5G rollout.
Dutch group Nexperia snapped up Newport Wafer Fab for £63m last year. But Nexperia is owned by Chinese electronics company Wingtech, whose shareholders include state-funded investors.
Nexperia was already a major shareholder before the deal.
Managers at Newport Wafer Fab begged the Government to intervene – and Boris Johnson asked national security adviser Sir Stephen Lovegrove to weigh up whether the deal was a threat.
Lovegrove concluded it was not but Kwarteng can step in, with sources suggesting he may do so 'within months'. Newport Wafer Fab is the UK's biggest producer of microchips, an essential part of all electronic devices.
But it does not focus on new or emerging products, instead producing technology that has been around for years.
However, a source told the Mail the firm is strategically important, saying: 'The tech isn't that advanced. But we need to look at sovereign industrial capability.'
A slew of industrial, aerospace and defence firms have been sold off in recent years, raising alarm bells in the military, Westminster, unions and workers.
These include Cobham to Ultra's suitor Advent in a £4billion deal last year, which resulted in Cobham being split up and much of it sold off within 18 months.
Although Newport Wafer Fab was in financial trouble, industry groups including a consortium led by former Imagination Technologies boss Ron Black were interested in buying it and pumping in new investment.
Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said failing to oppose the deal was an 'error' and called on ministers to 'protect what's left of our semiconductor industry'.
Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said it was 'ridiculous' not to intervene. And Ciaran Martin, the former head of the National Cyber Security Centre, said last year that the takeover was 'puzzling' and 'inconsistent' with the Government's stance on Beijing.
Newport Wafer Fab had more than 400 staff in 2020 with a turnover of almost £50m before the pandemic. The Business Department said: 'The Government is considering the case and no decisions have been made.'
Nexperia said: 'Nexperia has safeguarded Newport Wafer Fab's role within the UK's semiconductor industry and has been delivering on the plans to invest in the site to make it as successful as its Manchester Wafer Fab.'

Business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng set to probe Beijing takeover of UK chipmaker: Victory for our campaign to safeguard British tech
The takeover of Britain’s largest microchip maker – Newport Wafer Fab – has been called in for review by the Government on national security grounds.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said the £63million acquisition of the Welsh firm by Nexperia, a subsidiary of Chinese chip firm Wingtech, would be scrutinised.
‘There will now be a full assessment under the new National Security and Investment Act. We welcome overseas investment, but it must not threaten Britain’s national security,’ he tweeted.

Under the Act, the Government has 30 days to investigate the takeover before deciding whether to intervene.
The move followed a decision last year by Boris Johnson to have the deal reviewed by national security adviser Sir Stephen Lovegrove, whose report has not yet been published.
It also follows a Daily Mail campaign to save Britain’s tech industry from foreign buyers.
The takeover of Newport Wafer Fab by Wingtech was controversial and sparked a debate on the influence of Chinese firms on the UK’s tech sector and other industries vital for national security.
The semiconductor ‘wafers’ made in Newport are vital in the computer chip-making process.
They are mostly shipped to Asia to make finished semiconductors and account for more than half the value of the final product.
They are used to make products for companies including Dyson and Bosch. Earlier this month, it was reported that Zhang Xuezheng, a Chinese tech tycoon who owns about 17 per cent of Wingtech, was set to fly to the UK to settle nerves over the deal.
The takeover has drawn fierce criticism from politicians, with Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Parliamentary foreign affairs committee, saying it was ‘absolutely baffling’ that it had not been blocked.

Lord Alton, a crossbench peer, said the sale to a Chinese buyer was ‘madness’. And Ciaran Martin, the former chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre, said it is a greater threat to British interests than Huawei’s involvement in the 5G network
Parliament’s business, energy and industrial strategy committee is probing the UK’s semiconductor industry. ‘Semiconductors are growing in technological and geopolitical importance.
With scarce global supply, it’s essential that we conduct a stock take of the UK’s capacity and what Government can do to raise it.’ said Labour MP Darren Jones, chairman of the committee.
Semiconductors are essential in electronics and, after the pandemic disrupted global supply chains, there is a shortage.

Kwasi Kwarteng looks set to intervene in Chinese takeover of Britain's leading semiconductor maker: Pressure to unwind sale of Newport Wafer Fab
- Kwarteng under pressure after national security advisers appeared to back sale
- Industry experts and politicians horrified important UK manufacturer was sold
- Business Secretary looking at new powers to investigate sale
Kwasi Kwarteng looks set to intervene in the Chinese takeover of Britain's leading semiconductor maker.
The Business Secretary is under pressure to act after national security advisers appeared to back Newport Wafer Fab's sale.
The deal continues to cause alarm among industry experts and politicians who are horrified an important UK manufacturer was sold to a Chinese firm without scrutiny – especially as the world is battling a microchip shortage.
The Mail understands Kwarteng is now looking at new powers to investigate the sale, which could even result in it being reversed.
Under pressure: Kwasi Kwarteng looks set to intervene in the Chinese takeover of Britain's leading semiconductor maker
It would be the first major test of the National Security and Investment Act's provision that allows ministers to call in takeovers of strategic companies after they have already gone through.
And it comes as Kwarteng weighs up whether to approve a number of foreign deals, including the £2.6billion sale of Ultra Electronics to US private equity group Advent International and Viasat's £5.4billion bid for Inmarsat.
The Government has typically taken a strong line on Chinese investment – refusing to include Huawei in the 5G rollout.
Dutch group Nexperia snapped up Newport Wafer Fab for £63m last year. But Nexperia is owned by Chinese electronics company Wingtech, whose shareholders include state-funded investors.
Nexperia was already a major shareholder before the deal.
Managers at Newport Wafer Fab begged the Government to intervene – and Boris Johnson asked national security adviser Sir Stephen Lovegrove to weigh up whether the deal was a threat.
Lovegrove concluded it was not but Kwarteng can step in, with sources suggesting he may do so 'within months'. Newport Wafer Fab is the UK's biggest producer of microchips, an essential part of all electronic devices.
But it does not focus on new or emerging products, instead producing technology that has been around for years.
However, a source told the Mail the firm is strategically important, saying: 'The tech isn't that advanced. But we need to look at sovereign industrial capability.'
A slew of industrial, aerospace and defence firms have been sold off in recent years, raising alarm bells in the military, Westminster, unions and workers.
These include Cobham to Ultra's suitor Advent in a £4billion deal last year, which resulted in Cobham being split up and much of it sold off within 18 months.
Although Newport Wafer Fab was in financial trouble, industry groups including a consortium led by former Imagination Technologies boss Ron Black were interested in buying it and pumping in new investment.
Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said failing to oppose the deal was an 'error' and called on ministers to 'protect what's left of our semiconductor industry'.
Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said it was 'ridiculous' not to intervene. And Ciaran Martin, the former head of the National Cyber Security Centre, said last year that the takeover was 'puzzling' and 'inconsistent' with the Government's stance on Beijing.
Newport Wafer Fab had more than 400 staff in 2020 with a turnover of almost £50m before the pandemic. The Business Department said: 'The Government is considering the case and no decisions have been made.'
Nexperia said: 'Nexperia has safeguarded Newport Wafer Fab's role within the UK's semiconductor industry and has been delivering on the plans to invest in the site to make it as successful as its Manchester Wafer Fab.'

China: Shanghai hospital struggles with Covid infections
By Robin Brant
BBC China correspondent, Shanghai
- Published
Authorities in Shanghai are struggling to deal with a suspected wave of Covid infections at a large hospital for the elderly, in a sign of how serious the outbreak is in China's biggest city.
Shanghai has not declared any new Covid deaths in the city since the outbreak of the latest wave of the virus.
But the BBC has spoken to people working at the Donghai Elderly Care Hospital in the city's eastern Pudong area who have described a dire situation and desperate attempts to help dozens of elderly patients, some of whom have died.
A nurse told the BBC that the first positive cases were discovered at the facility - one of the biggest of its kind in Shanghai - three weeks ago.
Since then it has been sealed off, and specialist teams from the municipal centre for disease control have been trying to contain the spread.
Another care worker who was drafted in to work at the hospital last week told us she had seen one patient die, and heard of a colleague who had dealt with another dead patient.
But workers say that it is hard to tell if the victims had died from Covid as there have been many infections.
The nurse told the BBC that she was working and sleeping at the hospital before being moved to a quarantine facility. Since then she said a colleague had told her the situation had gotten "worse and worse" with new cases "every day".
She claimed that both medical staff and experts sent in by the Shanghai government were also infected, saying hundreds of people there had caught Covid.
She told the BBC: "At first, we just kept working as usual, but later they started to block each department and the manager told us the real situation was much worse."
She said there were patients who were refusing to wear masks.
A care worker who has been working at the hospital this week told the BBC that "sanitary conditions were pretty bad" when she arrived.
Videos taken from within the facility and sent to the BBC appear to show overflowing bins and full bags of rubbish strewn in hallways in at least one part of the home.
Meanwhile on social media, there have been multiple complaints from people who said they were unable to contact their loved ones in the facility.
One man who told the BBC his grandmother is at the hospital said it was very difficult to get information on her condition. A care worker whom he spoke to initially was unable to help further after they tested positive and were quarantined.
He says he has not been able to speak to his grandmother on the phone since shortly after the lockdown began on Monday. Staff who picked up when he called were unable to give any details about what she was being given to eat, or any medication administered, he said.
The BBC has tried to contact Donghai Hospital, Pudong New District Health Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Commission for comment, but none responded to our calls.
A nearby funeral home, contacted by the BBC, was unable to say if it had or had not received any dead patients from the hospital. The Shanghai Foreign Affairs office was also approached for a comment, but did not respond.
But in repeated public statements the authorities have confirmed cases citing the address of the hospital, though they did not specifically name it. The address has been mentioned nine times in official case reports in the last two weeks.
Struggling system
There's evidence elsewhere that Shanghai's health care system is struggling to deal with some of the increased demands put on it.
On Thursday health officials offered a formal apology to the family of a 62-year-old man who died after he was refused further emergency treatment for an asthma attack. An ambulance medic who refused to transport the patient or offer the use of an AED has been suspended.
Shanghai is China's biggest city with a population of almost 25 million. It's half-way through a nine-day citywide lockdown to try to stop the spread of a resurgent virus.
Officials had planned to shut the eastern half of the city and test everyone living there, then impose the same lockdown on the western side of the city.
Despite plans to open up Pudong on Friday, there are stringent measures still in place and delayed test results which mean many areas, and millions of people, remain locked down.
A week before the lockdown was imposed other officials had claimed that Shanghai was too big and too important to China's economy to be locked down in the way that other cities like Wuhan, Xi'an and Shenzhen had been.
But now a senior Communist Party official has admitted Shanghai had not been prepared for the outbreak. Ma Chunlei said yesterday that "our awareness was insufficient... our preparation is not sufficient".
In a rare public admission of failings he added: "We sincerely accept your criticism and we are working hard to improve."

China: Hospital for the elderly in Shanghai, China’s largest city, battles a wave of covid-19
- Drafting
- BBC News World
Shanghai authorities are struggling to deal with a suspected wave of Covid-19 infections at a large hospital for the elderly, evidence of the severity of the outbreak in China’s largest city.
The BBC has spoken to people who work at the hospital, located in the eastern area of Pudong, who have described a dire and desperate attempts for helping dozens of elderly patients. Some have died.
A nurse told the BBC that three weeks ago the first positive cases at the hospital, one of the largest of its kind in Shanghai.
It has since been cordoned off and specialist teams from the municipal center for disease control have tried to contain the spread.
deaths from the virus
An employee who was recruited to work at the hospital last week said she had seen die to a patient and that he had heard of a colleague who had treated another deceased patient.
But workers say it’s hard to know if the victims died from Covid-19, as there have been so many infections.
City authorities have declared no new coronavirus deaths recently.
The nurse told the BBC she was working at the hospital before being transferred to a nursing home. quarantine. Since then, a colleague told him that the situation was “getting worse and worse” with new cases “every day”.
He stated that both the medical personnel and the experts sent by the Shanghai government also they were infected and that hundreds of people there had been infected.
“In the beginning, we continued to work as usual, but then they started to block each department and the manager told us that the real situation was much worse,” he said.
The nurse indicated that some patients refused to use masks.
A caregiver who has been working at the hospital this week told the BBC that “the sanitary conditions were pretty bad” when it arrived.
Videos taken inside the facility and sent to the BBC appear to show overflowing bins and bags full of rubbish strewn in hospital corridors.
Meanwhile, on social media, there have been multiple complaints from people who have been unable to contact loved ones at the facility.
A man told the BBC that his grandmother was in hospital and it was very difficult to get information about your status. A care worker she spoke with initially was unable to help further after they tested positive and were quarantined.
He says he hasn’t been able to talk to his grandmother on the phone since the lockdown began on Monday. The staff who answered when she called could not give any details about what she was being fed or what medications were being administered, she said.
The BBC has attempted to contact Donghai Hospital, the Pudong New District Health Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Commission to obtain commentsbut none answered our calls.
A mortuary A nearby hospital, contacted by the BBC, could not say whether or not it had received dead patients from the hospital. She also contacted the Shanghai Foreign Office for comment, but no one responded.
In repeated public statements, the authorities have confirmed cases by citing the address of the hospital, although they did not name it specifically. The address has been mentioned nine times in official case reports in the past two weeks.
There is evidence elsewhere that Shanghai’s health care system is struggling to deal with some of the growing demands it faces.
On Thursday, health officials offered a formal apology to the family of a 62-year-old man who died after being denied further emergency treatment for an asthma attack. An ambulance doctor who refused to transport the patient or offer the use of an automated external defibrillator has been suspended.
Shanghai is the largest city in China, with a population of nearly 25 million inhabitants. It is in the middle of a nine-day lockdown to try to stop the spread of the virus.
Authorities had planned to lock down the eastern half of the city and test everyone who lived there, then impose the same lockdown on the west side.
Despite plans to open Pudong on Friday, there are still strict measures and delayed test results, meaning many areas and millions of people remain on lockdown.
A week before the imposed closingOther officials had claimed that Shanghai was too big and important to China’s economy to shut down, as other cities such as Wuhan, Xi’an and Shenzhen had done.
But now a senior Communist Party official, Ma Chunlei, has admitted that Shanghai was not ready for the outbreak. “Our awareness was insufficient… our preparation is not enough.”
In a rare public admission of fault, he added: “We accept We sincerely appreciate your criticism and we are working hard to improve.”

Take a deep breath... to recall more of your book: We tend to sigh more when we read from paper, study finds
- Researchers measured the breathing and brain activity of 34 people reading
- They found people sighed 45 per cent less when reading from a smartphone
- Analysis showed differences in brain activity in the prefrontal cortex
If you feel you remember more when you read from a book compared to your phone or tablet, you are right.
But it's not just about being more relaxed or not having the temptation to start scrolling – it's because we tend to sigh more when we read from paper, a study has found.
'We believe that 'deep breathing' – sighing – suppressed brain over-activity and had a positive effect on memory and reading comprehension,' said lead researcher Dr Motoyasu Honma from the Showa University School of Medicine in Tokyo.

Researchers measured the breathing and brain activity of 34 people while they read on paper and smartphones.
They found people sighed 45 per cent less when reading from a smartphone, and when later asked questions about the passages their scores were on average 17 per cent lower.
Analysis showed differences in brain activity in the prefrontal cortex, part of the brain responsible for higher-level functions such as thinking.
The study, published in the nature journal Scientific Reports, found over-activity in the prefrontal cortex when people read with a smartphone which was detrimental to their understanding of the novel. This is thought to be triggered by blue light emitted from the screen.

Reading a good book can transport you to another world, expanding your horizon and enhancing your knowledge and vocabulary. But, did you know that reading can help sharpen your mental acuity, too?
According to nutritional psychiatrist Dr Uma Naidoo, reading has various mental health benefits, and pleasure reading can be utilised to help you relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A 2009 study, conducted by Mindlab International at the University of Sussex, found that reading reduced stress in participants by nearly 70 per cent and was more effective than things like having a cup of tea or listening to music. Another study, published in the Journal of Teaching and Learning, asserted that 30 minutes of reading could reduce stress as much as a yoga session of the same duration.
“Reading can be used as an escape as well as a tool to increase your attention span, improve your sleep, and increase your knowledge,” Dr Naidoo said.

When you need to go deep, don’t let your devices be a distraction
There’s nothing that digital addicts hate more than being told they need to pay closer attention to real life.
In a recent screed titled “It Would Be Great if Celebrities Could Stop Talking About the Joys of ‘Unplugging,’” Slate blogger Heather Schwedel complained that comedian Aziz Ansari’s declaration of independence from the internet in a GQ magazine interview amounts to a form of snobbery.
The smugness she imagines coming from those who choose to wean themselves off electronic devices is along the lines of: “Oh, you think you’re better than me? You think you’re better than looking at memes and double-tapping your friends’ pictures of dessert?”
To be fair, Ansari has been writing and performing about the miscommunication, anxiety and brain drain that result from being tied to a phone at all hours. And his GQ interview was not braggy and it spurred several pro and con quit-the-internet think pieces because he made this important point about paper’s capacity to improve focus: “I’m reading, like, three books right now. I’m putting something in my mind. It feels so much better than just reading the internet and not remembering anything.”
It’s not exactly a provocative stance.
Years of research have suggested various differences in reading online versus in print, many of which have come down on the side of paper for better comprehension when engaging in “close reading,” i.e., detailed critical analysis of a text.
Indeed, a recent survey of 25 years of some 800 studies on the subject has concluded that at very early ages -- and when reading light material, superficially -- the format doesn’t matter much.
But when it’s necessary to go deeper than merely familiarizing yourself with the main points of a text, particularly one that is lengthy, paper may be better. This is because of the brain’s ability to anchor information in the physical locations of concepts on a printed page that a hand manipulates as the eye processes the words.
This hand-eye connection is important -- many studies have credited the physical act of writing by hand with more thoroughly imprinting information in the mind by activating regions of the brain related to retention and goal achievement.
To this point, research published in the February 2017 issue of the Economics of Education Review found that students at the United States Military Academy who were prohibited from using internet-enabled devices for note-taking during class were likelier to score higher on their final exams than those free to use tablets and laptops.
In their discussion of the pros and cons of making technology available to 21st-century students, the researchers cited this little-discussed fact: “In K-12 schools, where students do not typically take lecture notes, a growing body of research has found no positive impact [on student achievement] of expanded computer or internet access.”
They strain to underscore that they “do not claim that all computer use in the classroom is harmful. Exercises where computers or tablets are deliberately used may, in fact, improve student performance. Rather, our results relate to classes where using computers or tablets for note-taking is optional.”
In other words, unless you are being meticulous in the specific use of a tool that can be used for learning, you risk having the tool become a distraction.
It’s plainly easier and faster to take dictation on a laptop -- and check your social media feeds while there’s a lull -- than to concentrate fully on information that is being presented and then synthesize a summary in your own words via paper and pen.
But who cares how efficient an action is when it’s not helping you achieve your goals?
It is possible that the difficulties of our modern lives -- and the politics, rancor and fake Instagram perfection that feed our daily media diets -- are soothed by the dopamine hit that our brains get from checking to see if new messages or crazy headlines have arrived.
But though our electronic companions may ease us through chaotic lives, they also distract us from the difficult tasks at hand, many of which are well worth the opportunity cost of one more quick check of Twitter or a newsfeed.
Digital addicts, take heart: You don’t need to quit the internet to benefit greatly from more time away from your devices. Just try it for a few minutes a day and see how it goes. In fact, as soon as you finish reading this column, treat yourself to some silence.

Laptops and tablets are replacing the classroom library.
Almost 60% of teachers say they’re now using e-books in the classroom.
Parents are using technology at an even higher rate.
It’s a decision that can save money.
“We would go broke trying to keep enough paper books for our family,” said Virginia Clinton-Lisell, an education researcher and professor at the University of North Dakota.
She noted that a subscription to an online library could be relatively cheap at a time when an average children’s book costs $10.
E-readers also give students access to resources that can’t be found in a paper book.
“If they come to a word they don’t know, they’ve learned, ‘Oh, if I take the mouse and hang over the word, I can get a pop-up, and it’ll pronounce the word for me,’” said Tanya Marshall, an educator and curriculum designer who operates The Butterfly Teacher.
But technology does have downsides.
Several studies indicate that information from e-books may not stick like paper books.
“Reading from paper is more efficient,” said Clinton-Lisell. “You can understand more in the same amount of time than reading from screens.”
In one study, teenagers who read paper books had test scores about three percent higher than their peers who read mainly e-books.
“Screens tend to be assisted with light, superficial tasks, like texting and checking social media,” said Clinton-Lisell. “When you’re holding a device that you can read from, it can also, in your mind, be a toy.”
Clinton-Lisell said some preliminary research indicates the retention issue may be more pronounced in textbooks or other “required reading.”
It is less noticeable when people are reading for pleasure.
Marshall, who works primarily with the lower grades, said she’s noticed that today’s readers have a bit more trouble maintaining focus.
Before e-readers, kids “needed to have more stamina to stick with it and get through a full story,” Marshall said. “Now, there’s an expectation that we’re going to fly through it.”
Most experts agree that parents should choose paper books when they can.
However, since that isn’t an option for some parents, the most important thing is to ensure your child is reading.
“It doesn't matter if it's an e-reader or a printed book,” said Marshall. “If the kid thinks it's boring, if it has nothing to do with what they like, they're not going to read it.”

Cole Sprouse has revealed that most of the Riverdale cast is ready for the show to end.
The former Disney star has portrayed Jughead on the hit CW drama – based on the Archie Comics – since the pilot in 2017.
In a recent interview, Sprouse said that while the series is currently in the middle of its sixth season, most of the actors are ready to “wrap it up with a bow”.
“I’m not a creative force behind [Riverdale]. I actually have no creative control,” the actor explained to GQ.
“We show up, receive the scripts often the day of, and we’re asked to shoot.”
He added that at one point he politely declined an offer to direct an episode, knowing that he would need to submit his creative vision to the network’s needs.
Previously, ahead of Riverdale’s 100th episode in December, Sprouse shared with Entertainment Weekly, that the show has provided a “huge opportunity” for him and the cast.
At the time, he said: “I think I’m very lucky that people took to the show, and it’s created an absolutely stellar platform for all of the young actors on the show.”
“It’s been a wild ride,” he added. “And I’m hoping that the audience can sit down and go ‘Wow. 100 episodes. That is insane,’ and appreciate the amount of work that has gone into that.”
Though the show’s future has yet to be announced, according to Decider, Sprouse’s co-star Lili Reinhart shared an Instagram live, speculating that season seven would “probably be the last one”.
Riverdale returns from its season six hiatus on 20 March at 8pm EDT on CW. All previous seasons can be streamed on Netflix.

Cole Sprouse Says Riverdale Cast Is Ready for Show to End: 'Wrap It Up with a Bow'
Cole Sprouse is preparing to hang up Jughead's crown.
The Moonshot star, 29, said that some of his fellow Riverdale costars are ready to "wrap it up with a bow" as he reflected on CW's adaptation of the Archie Comics universe in a recent interview with GQ.
"I'm not a creative force behind [Riverdale]. I actually have no creative control," said Sprouse. "We show up, receive the scripts often the day of, and we're asked to shoot."
He's played beloved comic book character Jughead Jones for the entirety of the show's run, which is currently in its sixth season. Although Sprouse was offered the chance to direct an episode, he declined the opportunity, knowing he'd have to submit to the network's needs.
Sprouse previously raved that the show has offered a "huge opportunity" for him and his costars as he spoke to Entertainment Tonight in December, ahead of the 100th episode.
"I think I'm very lucky that people took to the show, and it's created an absolutely stellar platform for all of the young actors on the show to — when the show eventually wraps itself — go, 'My God, that was a huge opportunity,' and it served as a huge opportunity for us, and it gave us the opportunity to work with a crew that I'm been very close to for six seasons," he said at the time.
"It's been a wild ride," Sprouse continued. "But I think we're celebrating this 100th episode, and I hope in an industry where we binge these shows now, I'm hoping that the audience can sit down and go, 'Wow. 100 episodes. That is insane,' and appreciate the amount of work that has gone into that."
The actor's ex-girlfriend and Riverdale costar Lili Reinhart previously noted that the show's seventh season could be the last during an Instagram Live in December, according to Decider.

"I don't know. We're hoping for a season seven," Reinhart, 25, said at the time when asked about the show's future, adding that it will "probably be the last one."
Riverdale airs Sundays on The CW.

Riverdale star Cole Sprouse has said he thinks the cast is ready to “wrap up” the show.
In a cover interview with GQ Hype, the actor, who has played Jughead Jones on the CW show since its inception, revealed he and his colleagues might have the end in sight.
Sprouse said he believes the actors are ready to “wrap it up with a bow,” after six seasons of the show and increasingly high-stakes plot twists including metaverses, superpowers and more.
Describing his gratitude for the show while explaining why he felt the need to leave, the actor said: “I’m not a creative force behind [Riverdale]. I actually have no creative control. We show up, receive the scripts often the day of, and we’re asked to shoot.”
KJ Apa, who plays Archie in the show, echoed Sprouse’s comments in conversation with NME last year.
“We’re on a huge machine of a show – with a huge global reach and a huge fanbase – and it’s a show where we don’t get to… our voices aren’t heard as much as other creative people who are involved,” he said.
Apa continued: “You know, like our showrunners and writers. As actors, we very much have a job to do, and that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s enjoyable and we’re grateful and that we love to do it. It’s just… not like being involved in other projects where maybe we have more of a voice in the creativity.”
Season six of Riverdale began airing last November, with the second half beginning at the end of March. Episode 10, the finale, is due to be released on April 17.
Last month, Riverdale was renewed for a seventh season – there is no word yet whether this will be the final season.
