FEAR FACTOR 1: SPAIN DOWNGRADED – Reuters/Madrid/Berlin: “Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe was ready to act to ensure stability in the euro zone as Spain's credit rating was cut by three notches … amid expectations it may soon seek EU help for banks beset by bad debts. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he would wait for the results of independent audits of the banking system before talking with Europe about how to recapitalize troubled lenders. … Fitch estimated Spanish lenders need 50 to 60 billion euros in capital under their updated base case. However, the total fiscal cost to underpin the banks could rise as high as 100 billion euros or 9 percent of [GDP] …
Story Continued Below
“GERMANY IS READY” – “Speaking after talks in Berlin with British Prime Minister David Cameron - who called for ‘urgent action’ to tackle the debt crisis - Merkel said Germany stood ready, alongside the other 16 euro zone countries, to do whatever was necessary. ‘It is important to stress again that we have created the instruments for support in the euro zone and that Germany is ready to use these instruments whenever it may prove necessary,’ she said, referring to the euro zone's temporary bailout fund, the EFSF, and to its permanent successor, the ESM” http://goo.gl/lhyu0
FEAR FACTOR 2: CHINA TRIES TO AVOID HARD LANDING – Bloomberg/Beijing: “China cut borrowing costs for the first time since 2008 and loosened controls on banks’ lending and deposit rates, stepping up efforts to combat a deepening slowdown as Europe’s debt crisis threatens global growth. The one-year lending rate declines by a quarter percentage point today to 6.31 percent, the People’s Bank of China said … The move, before China reports inflation, investment and output figures [Saturday] … may signal that the economy is weaker than the government anticipated. Policy makers across the globe are also girding for a deeper impact from Europe’s woes, with Australia and Brazil also lowering rates in the past eight days … Asian stocks fell … after … [US Fed Chair Ben] Bernanke said the Fed will need to assess conditions before deciding if more measures are needed to support growth” http://goo.gl/vv3LK
THE BIG FEAR … is that the China data over the weekend will be ugly, which would mean today could revert to risk-off mode as investors brace for the worst.
PRIVATE EQUITY: NOT HATED (YET) – So far, the demonization of Bain Capital by the Obama campaign and surrogates has not hit the broader industry. According to a Monmouth University Poll, 42% of registered voters said private equity firms were “good” for the economy while 22% said they were “bad” and 36% said they had no impact or they did not know. Also, 36% said the industry creates jobs while 21% said it eliminates jobs and 43% said it had no impact or they did not know. What does it mean? Voters are fairly positive about the industry but still don’t know much about it and could swing the other way without continued efforts on the part of the industry to push positive messages. http://goo.gl/KRDkh
FRANK TO HIT CFTC FUNDING DECISION – House Financial Services Ranking Member Barney Frank will hold a presser this morning with former CFTC head Brooksley Born to criticize GOP efforts to reduce funding for the CFTC and the SEC. In advance of the event, Rep. Frank emails M.M.: “The Republican decision to reduce funding for the CFTC from a level that is already too low must be nostalgia for the days of unregulated financial recklessness.”
FIRST LOOK: TESTER AMENDMENT ANNIVERSARY – Retailers today are celebrating the one year anniversary of their huge win over banks to beat back the Tester amendment that would have delayed implementation of the Durbin rule in Dodd-Frank limiting debit card interchange fees. To mark the occasion, retailers are circulating a memo on the Hill outlining what they say are Durbin’s benefits as well as letter to Senators (including Tester) describing how the reform is playing locally. Memo: http://goo.gl/LupE5 Tester letter: http://goo.gl/uEXHH
GOOD FRIDAY MORNING – Guess LeBron James isn’t so overrated after all. At least as a basketball player. http://goo.gl/DcPmh
DRIVING THE DAY – Frank presser begins at 10:00 a.m. … Data today include the international trade at 8:30 a.m. with the deficit expected to decline to $49.5 billion from $51.8 billion. … Whole sale trade inventories, out at 10:00 a.m., expected to rise 0.5% … President Obama welcomes the Super Bowl Champion New York Football Giants to the White House this afternoon and raises money (again) this evening … Mitt Romney has a roundtable event in Council Bluffs, Iowa before heading to Salt Lake City, Utah, for an event at Tac Air … House Ways and Means has a hearing at 10:00 a.m. on extending expiring tax provisions …
ERRATA – An item yesterday suggested ICI CEO Paul Stevens was retiring. He was giving a speech ABOUT retirement but he himself is NOT retiring. Apologies for the confusion.
BERNANKE KILLS QE3 RALLY – HFE’s Ian Shepherdson: “Bernanke offered nothing to anyone looking for signs the Fed is preparing for QE3, beyond the usual boilerplate from recent Fed statements about being prepared to adjust its asset holdings ‘as appropriate.’ A European implosion could be the trigger; Europe poses ‘significant risks’ to the US but the Fed is prepared to take action ‘as needed’. In other words, if the sky falls in the Fed will do whatever it takes to protect the US. In the meantime, no hint of further Twist; slightly surprising.”
ROMNEY WINS THE MONEY MONTH – POLITICO’s Alexander Burns: “Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and the [RNC] raised a combined $76.8 million in May, outdistancing Obama and the [DNC] by a wide margin. The RNC announced on Twitter: "The RNC and @MittRomney raised $76.8M in May." In a press release, the Romney campaign said it has $107 million on hand. Only a few hours earlier, the Obama camp said it had taken in over $60 million last month but did not announce how much it has in the bank. … Democrats have long expected that Romney would close the financial gap after winning his party's nomination, but the speed with which he has done it has been impressive -- and, to some Obama allies, alarming, especially considering how much air support he'll be getting from deep-pocketed outside groups.” http://goo.gl/uDMqK
CAPITAL RULE SURPRISES – WSJ’s Victoria McGrane, Matthias Rieker and Dan Fitzpatrick on pg. C1: “The Federal Reserve shocked bankers … by approving a proposal that would force even the smallest lenders to comply with the elaborate international bank-capital standards known as Basel III. The draft requirements would apply to all 7,307 U.S. banks, according to a proposal circulated by the Fed. Many bankers had expected regulators to exempt some small lenders … While the core Basel III rules will apply to all banks, other aspects of the new regime single out the biggest, most complex banks for tougher treatment than their smaller peers.
“The Fed, for instance, has embraced slapping a handful of the biggest U.S. banks with a capital surcharge of between 1% and 2.5%. … The tougher capital rules backed by the Fed Thursday won't take effect until 2019 but will come as an unwelcome surprise to small bankers struggling amid uneven economic growth, tough new rules limiting fees and technological and regulatory moves that have made larger banks more profitable” http://goo.gl/lLUkM
WORD OF THE DAY: ZUGZWANG – FT’s Jamil Anderlini: “In chess, the term ‘zugzwang’ describes a situation in which a player cannot skip a turn but any move he makes will put him in a worse situation. That also neatly describes the situation facing the Chinese government as it cut interest rates … for the first time since the height of the financial crisis in late 2008, lowering benchmark lending and deposit rates by 25 basis points to 6.31 per cent and 3.25 per cent respectively. With growth slowing much more than expected and an array of indicators pointing south, Beijing has been forced to act to prop up activity … But many economists and analysts from inside and outside the government are warning of the dangers involved in a fresh round of stimulus and easy credit that could reinflate a property bubble “ http://goo.gl/dNSDW
EUROPE WATCH –
MERKEL REBUKES CAMERON – FT’s Gerrit Wiesmann in Berlin: “Merkel said a core group of states needed to press on with European integration to fight the eurozone crisis, a rebuke to David Cameron, UK prime minister, who has called for more short-term crisis measures. … Germany’s chancellor said nations ‘in a currency union have to move closer together’, reinforcing the shift to ‘a multi-speed Europe’ which began with the introduction of the single currency … ‘We cannot just stop [the process] because one or other doesn’t want to join in yet.’ Ms Merkel seemed intent on highlighting what Berlin perceives to be a contradiction between the UK’s refusal to sign up to strict new EU fiscal rules and Mr Cameron’s call for more intervention in the crisis – a stance which has irritated many in the German capital … Downing Street on Wednesday signalled that Mr Cameron would use his Berlin visit to urge Ms Merkel to take quick steps to pull the eurozone back from the brink of disaster” http://goo.gl/jxsxd
SPAIN SELLS BONDS … TO ITS OWN BANKS – NYT’s Landon Thomas Jr. on pg. B1: “While the Spanish government was able to sell all the bonds it wanted to … it mostly sold to the usual buyers: Spain’s increasingly fragile banks. And so, as Madrid tries to come up with the money to bail out its banks, its main lenders are increasingly becoming many of those same institutions. If it sounds like the most vicious of circles, it is. Economists warn that over the long term, Spain will have trouble meeting its substantial financial requirements until foreign investors return to the market as regular buyers, injecting new money into the system.
“Until late last year, foreign investors were doing just that. But lately, much of the foreign money has been staying away. Foreign investors are leery of the high risks involved in holding the debt of a government facing the twin challenges of persistent budget deficits and a banking industry, hobbled by bad real estate loans, that may soon require a bailout costing as much as 100 billion euros, or $126 billion … On the face of it, the auction Thursday was a success: Spain was able to sell 2.1 billion euros” http://goo.gl/125Kc
U.S. COMPANIES TAKE HITS – WP’s Zachary A. Goldfarb: “From manufacturers in the Midwest to upscale retail shops in Manhattan, a wide variety of American companies are feeling the pinch of Europe’s economic contraction, helping to hold back recovery in the United States. Ford … says that Europeans are not only buying fewer cars but also replacing fewer parts. Kraft Foods, which is behind such brands as Swedish Fish and Dentyne, says sales of candy and gum in Europe are lagging. And jeweler Tiffany & Co. says fewer European tourists are shopping at its flagship Fifth Avenue store. … For companies in sectors such as food, apparel, hotels and technology, sales and profits will lag if the European crisis does not ease. The effect is direct, as Europeans buy fewer U.S. products and services, and indirect, as Europe’s crisis creates financial uncertainty in the United States and slows economic growth, leading American consumers and businesses to pull back, too http://goo.gl/QWBMM
ALSO FOR YOUR RADAR –
EXPLAINING THE UNION DECLINE – Bruce Bartlett in the Fiscal Times: “Tuesday’s failure to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is being widely interpreted as a political defeat for organized labor. … [U]nions in general have endured a long decline in power, influence, and popularity. In the 1950s, more than a third of all workers belonged to a union. As recently as the 1970s, a quarter of all workers did. Strikes were common and those in a strategic industry such as railroads or steel could virtually shut down a significant portion of the entire U.S. economy … The number of strikes has fallen from 200-400 per year in the 1970s to just 19 last year. …
“It’s hard to remember the last one of any significance … There are many reasons for the decline of labor unions, but the leading one is simply that those industries most amenable to unionization and where unionization was highest have been among those that have declined most sharply in recent years. Those on the upswing tend not to have many union members. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, between 2003 and 2008, unions lost 138,653 members in auto manufacturing but gained just 4,736 in computer systems design” http://goo.gl/p5Nin
FEDERAL CONTRACT SPENDING DROPS; LOCKHEED ON TOP – Per Bloomberg Government: “Federal contract spending fell 3.5% to $532.6 billion in fiscal 2011 from a 28-year peak of $552 billion in fiscal 2009. Lockheed Martin Corp. was the top federal contractor in fiscal 2011, as it has been since 1995. Its $42.9 billion in unclassified fiscal 2011 prime contracts is the most for any company in the past 28 years for which data is available … The Defense Department awarded 70% of total federal procurement dollars in fiscal 2011. Fifty-six non-defense agencies awarded the remaining 30 percent.”
CHECKING ACCOUNTS STILL UNCLEAR – Per Pew study out this morning: “Financial institutions do not summarize important policies and fee information in a uniform, concise, and easy-to-understand format that allows customers to compare account terms and conditions. The median length of bank checking account disclosure statements has decreased, but is still cumbersome at 69 pages” Full report: http://goo.gl/hC53n
McLENDON’S LAVISH LIFE – Reuters’ John Shiffman, Anna Driver and Brian Grow: “[A]t Will Rogers World Airport, Chesapeake leases a fleet of planes that shuttle executives to oil and gas fields -- and the McClendon family to holiday destinations. On one trip, the clan took flights to Amsterdam and Paris that cost $108,000 … Closer to home, McClendon pursues another of his passions: the Oklahoma City Thunder, the NBA franchise in which he owns a 19 percent stake.
As with other assets, McClendon has melded his Thunder interest with Chesapeake business. The energy company signed a $36 million sponsorship deal, and it pays up to $4 million annually to brand the stadium Chesapeake Energy Arena. What hasn't been previously disclosed is that McClendon mortgaged his future proceeds from the team to secure two bank loans:” http://goo.gl/lRLXV
PRIVATE PRISONS CASH IN ON IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN – HuffPo’s Chris Kirkham: “On a flat and desolate stretch of Interstate 10 some 50 miles south of Phoenix, a sheriff's deputy pulls over a green Chevy Tahoe speeding westbound and carrying three young Hispanic men … This routine traffic stop represents the front end of an increasingly lucrative commercial enterprise: the business of incarcerating immigrant detainees, the fastest-growing segment of the American prison population. The three men loaded into the van offer fresh profit opportunities for the nation's swiftly expanding private prison industry, which has in recent years captured the bulk of this commerce through federal contracts. By filling its cells with undocumented immigrants … the industry has seen its revenues swell at taxpayer expense” http://goo.gl/IpnAZ

ARTIST - BRUCE RICHARDS
With a razor sharp intelligence and exceptional painting technique Richards places the world under his particular microscope. Words are his playthings, context is his playground and whatever creative tools are at his disposal become his microphone. What pleasure to dive into such a rich, deeply relevant vision.
In his own words: "My aim is to engage the viewer in both the title’s verbal association and it’s visual analogy. My hope is that the work will provide both surface and metaphorical readings that will connect the idea with the image. I hope to bridge the conceptual to the representational. To take the representation beyond the thing represented, beyond a materialistic sense and have it function on other levels.
At the same time I want to make the image as interesting visually as it is conceptually."

Qingdao Airlines Reaffirms Commitment to Deploy High Speed Inflight Satellite Internet for its Fleet
2021-05-21 / Number of views:1015
Qingdao Airlines announced in a contract-signing ceremony that it is fully committed to expand and accelerate the deployment of high-speed in-flight satellite Internet on its aircraft fleet. This follows the successful evaluation of the first commercial high-speed Internet flight trial in China that was launched by Qingdao Airlines on July 2020. This marks a major milestone in this groundbreaking collaboration project whereby FTS is supplying the Xstream™ high-speed satellite inflight system while TD Link Technology is providing internet service operations.
The Xstream™ system suite developed by FTS comprises of XstreamSAT™ satellite communication, XstreamLITE™ cabin WiFi, and XstreamOP™ cloud management platform. It is the first China developed IFEC system to receive all three major international airworthiness STC certifications from FAA, EASA and CAAC. The system is integrated with China Satcom’s ChinaSat-16 Ka-HTS satellites and is capable of providing up to 150 Mbps bandwidth between aircraft and ground. Over the past 10 months, the trial aircraft has flown more than 1,200 flights flawlessly with impeccable service, delighting Qingdao Airlines passengers with unprecedented inflight connected experience equivalent to ground 4G performance, with services such as movies, social media, live video broadcast, maps and e-commerce (with mobile payment).
FTS XStreamOP™ ground-based cloud management platform which has been in service since beginning trial has proven to be critical in ensuring service delivery with real-time monitoring of airborne systems, connectivity status, as well as consolidating all inflight data for ground analytics. This open cloud architecture enables the airline and service providers to integrate with airline backend IT to provide an efficient and easy-to-use method of managing all the on-board internet equipments and services.
Although the coronavirus pandemic has brought far-reaching and fundamental impact to aviation, the China domestic air travel is leading the industry in terms of recovery and even growing beyond pre-COVID period. A spokesperson at FTS commented they are seeing more confidence, optimism and interest from domestic airlines on making long term investment on Inflight connectivity as they believe this is a pivotal enabler to drive digital transformation of passenger service, airline operations and auxiliary revenue from which airlines could benefit to achieve recovery and long-term sustainability.
The decision from Qingdao Airlines is not taken lightly especially in the current challenging climate. It came after rigorous scrutiny of trial results concluded that FTS system performance, reliability and benefits far exceeded airline expectations. Mr Wu Longxue, President of Qingdao Airlines said: “After Qingdao Airlines launched the high-speed inflight Internet flight, it not only won strong accolades from passengers but also created a new business model of ‘Internet + Aviation’, making Qingdao Airlines a role model for the domestic industry.” Qingdao Airlines’ innovative and pioneering spirit has attracted strong endorsement and support from local government, CAAC and industry bodies. After carefully weighing all these factors and firmly believing in the benefits of connected aircraft, the airline stood firm in its decision to go full steam and accelerate the fleet-wide adoption of inflight connectivity.
In preparation for the accelerated fleet wide deployment, FTS is ramping up its operations and capabilities. It announced that it has obtained CAAC PMA certification and Part 145 maintenance and repair overhaul approvals for its range of components. With its strong R&D presence, manufacturing and support network in China, FTS is well positioned to provide prompt and comprehensive service to support the airlines in China, while also remained fully compliant to governmental and regulatory requirements.

On November 19, 2020 the Center for Biological Diversity filed a complaint in the District Court of Nevada against the Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, concerning implementation of the Lee Canyon Ski Area Master Development Plan on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (and a related amendment to the forest plan), which would provide summer use infrastructure and affect the federally endangered Mt. Charleston Blue Butterfly.
(New case against USFWS.) On November 3, 2020, the United States Fish & Wildlife Service published a final rule removing the gray wolf from the federal list of Endangered and Threatened Species in the lower 48 United States and Mexico. The Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity have sent the Service a notice of intent to sue to overturn the rule. (The link above includes the long, complicated history of wolves under ESA.)
(New case.) In September, Paul and Cathy Donohoe, of Donohoe Outfitting, and five other family members filed suit in the Montana U.S. District Court seeking to prevent a trail from being built that would allegedly threaten grizzly bears. The Donohoes protested the work in part because it would increase traffic close to their ranch.
(Update.) In Center for Biological Diversity v. U. S. Forest Service, the Arizona federal district court denied a government motion to dismiss claims against the Fish and Wildlife Service because that agency does have authority to initiate consultation under the Endangered Species Act. Both it and the Forest Service have been sued for failing to consult on more than 30 grazing allotments on the Apache-Sitgreaves and Gila National Forests within the upper Gila River watershed. Our previous discussion is here.
(Court decision.) On November 17, the Montana Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision and rejected a key pollution permit for the proposed Montanore silver-copper mine in the Cabinet Mountain Wilderness in the Kootenai National Forest. Previous litigation has included the Forest Service, and was discussed here.
(Update.) The multistate coalition that is challenging the Trump Administration’s changes to the CEQ NEPA regulations has added a claim that the government violated the Endangered Species Act by failing to consult with the federal wildlife agencies when it issued the regulations. We discussed the proposed rule here.

Barcelona has is working with what some believe to be the best front line in history. Neymar Jr, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi have combined to become one of the deadliest trios as they continue to lead Barcelona through the season. However, there are fears that this might not last forever as contract issues and Premier League temptations begin to rise.
According to Santi Gimenez as AS.com, Barcelona could have issues meeting financial needs as Messi is due to get a raise while Neymar will be looking for a new extension soon. Reports suggest the inflated salaries could "clean the club out" as they approach the salary cap. That has brought into focus the temptation for the stars to depart Barcelona for Premier League play sooner rather than later.
So far any idea that a transfer is happening from one of the three stars is getting denied. The Mirror is reporting Neymar has no intention of playing in the Premier League and is happy staying in Barcelona. The star has been quoted saying he plans on sticking with the club for many years even with the contract drama.
Suarez has echoed those beliefs too, but also said he would be tempted to join only one club in the Premier League, Liverpool. Suarez is currently leading La Liga play in goals scored. He noted that he prefers to stay with Barcelona. However, Liverpool would be a tempted move, not for the money, but to develop as a player in Europe.
"I'd prefer to stay here for many more years. I know it doesn't always turn out that way," Suarez said, via SkySports.com. "But if I had to return to the Premier League, I would only go to Liverpool. I wouldn't go to another team. It wouldn't be a move for money. I'd also love to play again for Ajax, as they allowed me to develop as a player in Europe."
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu made it clear that his club's three strikers are staying put despite offers coming in from the Premier League. Bartomeu told the Mail that all three players had opportunities to make more money elsewhere, but chose to come to Barcelona and play together. That has certainly played off in terms of wins and championships. He also made it clear that Messi stressed that he has no interest in playing for another European team while the contract issues will work themselves out.
"All of our players are in a moment where we renew their contracts, we extend their contracts," Bartomeu said, via ESPNFC.com. "Right now I don't see that any of our players have to leave next summer. I cannot tell you if we have done it or not done it, but as a member of the board we are responsible people. We know what is best for our club. When something is done, we will announce it."

Romero does great work with no money to spend -- though the film is quite repetitious and the mindless zombies move so slowly that any half-brained human ought to easily outrun and outmaneuver them. Nonetheless, many humans find themselves outwitted... and the film (along with the very similar Invasion of the Body Snatchers films) has inspired countless imitators and odes, including Assault on Precinct 13 and pretty much any other "We're trapped!" horror flick. Followed by two sequels (the first of which many regard as the best of the series).

It was perhaps expected that Jennifer Lopez was going to send Instagram into a frenzy with a swimsuit snap.
With her killer curves and famous booty, Jennifer is known the world over for her smoking-hot bod.
But it wasn’t just her skimpy Barbie-pink cossie that captured the attention of her 76.5 million followers on the official Jennifer Lopez Instagram page.
On her wedding finger, J.Lo had a pretty gold ring, that sparkled in the sunshine.
While it’s not known whether she received the new piece of bling from her beau of over a year – Alex Rodriguez, the pair looked completely smitten in the candid snap.
In the shot which Jen captioned: “It’s the lil quiet moments that matter the most…,” The Get On The Floor singer rested her arm on the former professional baseball player’s bare chest.
In a recent interview with GMA, Jen addressed rumours over her 42-year-old hunk.
She said: “We have to take our time. I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my past.
“We’re mature. We’re grownups. We’re going to take our time and take things at our own pace.
“Our life right now is incredibly wonderful. Between our kids and or work, we’re truly blessed. We don’t need anything more right now.”
The couple have been inseparable since they first went public with their relationship in February 2017, and are often sharing snaps of each other on their respective social media pages.
Jennifer was previously married to Marc Anthony from 2004-2014, who she shares 10-year-old twins with.https://cdn.images.dailystar.co.uk/dynamic/140/photos/809000/Jennifer-Lopez-turns-up-the-heat-on-social-media-1353809.jpg
She was also married to American actor Cris Judd, 48, from 2001-2003 and Ojani Noa, 44, for one year (1997-1998).

There has yet be a player since the Association formed, who possessed more competitive drive than Larry Bird. While the “Basketball Hall Of Fame” forward had incredible talent on the hardwood, his never surrender mindset was a huge factor to him leading the Boston Celtics to three NBA championships. Bird ripped his team in the 1984 NBA Finals for not showing adequate toughness against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics captain either touched a nerve or inspired his teammates, but the “Green Team” defeated their long-time rivals in that series and got Larry Legend his second Championship ring.
Although he hung up his sneakers for good after the 1992 Olympics, Bird still has that same fire in the belly as the Team President of the Indiana Pacers. He displayed some of that drive on Thursday afternoon, as he traded a player he called “my favorite,” longtime Pacers star Danny Granger to the Philadelphia 76ers for swingman Evan Turner. Although the Indiana exec hated to part with Granger, Bird believes that Turner gives his team a better shot at defeating the Miami Heat and have a chance to win their first NBA Title.
“Indy Star.com” reported that the Pacers completed a trade before the NBA trade deadline kicked in on Thursday, that sent Granger and a second round Draft pick in 2015, to the Sixers for Turner and big man Lavoy Allen. That was the final move of the season for Philadelphia, a team that has held a “Going Out Of Business, Everything Must Go” attitude for the last month. The 76ers have basically gutted their club intent on starting from scratch at the conclusion of the current campaign.
The Sixers reportedly reached out to Indiana on Thursday with the trade proposal, a move that the Team President admitted caught him by surprise. Bird told reporters “I didn’t think there was going to be anything there, that we’re really looking for, but when this came up and caught our attention, and we thought maybe we should do it. Try to stabilize that second unit. Obviously, Lavoy Allen’s another big body that can play and Evan Turner; I like guys who can play multiple positions. You can talk all you want about how he can’t hit an outside shot, can’t do this. I always look at the positive side of it. I think he’s a kid who can come in right away and help us.”
Bird also revealed his personal feelings about Granger to the media. The Pacers executive said “It’s just a tough deal. Danny’s always been my favorite. I understand the disappointment. A lot of people say that I’ve been trying to trade him for a year and I haven’t been doing that. I even told Danny that. I did tell him if a great opportunity arises, you can’t say you’ll never trade somebody.”
Unfortunately, injuries have gotten the best of the former All-Star throughout the last couple of seasons. Granger was coming off the bench for his club and his numbers were far below his career averages, in 29 games he put up only 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest. That is a huge contrast that the numbers that Turner has produced in what has been his best campaign in the Association. The swingman has been a starter all season for Philadelphia and has averaged 17.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. That’s a lot of fire-power coming from the man who anchors a team’s second unit.
On paper the deal looks great for Indiana, but that does not always translate into good chemistry in the locker room. Danny Granger was a team leader and a mentor for Indiana, giving Evan Turner big shoes to fill.


Give up, boss tells fed‑up landlords. Buy my shares instead
Build-to-rent is the future, says the chief executive of Grainger
The head of Britain’s biggest residential rental company has told amateur landlords to give up and buy shares in her company instead, because the traditional rental sector’s days are numbered.
Helen Gordon, the chief executive of Grainger, a build-to-rent developer that has 8,431 flats across the country and the same number in the pipeline, says the company’s buildings will be the future of renting once landlords are hit by diminishing returns and rising taxes.
“Instead of people investing in buy-to-let properties, what they should invest in is a Grainger share. They would get 50 per cent of our net rental income paid out as dividends,” she says.
“So many people remain landlords — or accidental landlords if they can’t sell their homes — as a


Mark Zahra will miss the Hong Kong ride on Santa Ana Lane in the Group One Chairman's Sprint Prize after being given a hefty suspension and fine for his part in a two-horse fall at Randwick.
The jockey was suspended for 25 meetings and fined $3800 - almost his winning percentage - for causing interference aboard winner Power Scheme in the Kings Of Sydney Sport Mile at Randwick on Saturday.
Stewards deemed Zahra allowed his mount to shift near the 100 metre mark, resulting in Glyn Schofield and Andrew Adkins tumbling from their respective mounts, Persan and War Baron.
Schofield was unhurt and continued to ride at the program but Adkins, who was conscious, was taken to hospital for precautionary tests.
Adkins later tweeted from hospital confirming he had suffered fractures to his spine, sternum, cheekbone and nasal passage.
Chief steward Marc Van Gestel said Zahra, who pleaded guilty to careless riding, narrowly avoided the more serious charge of reckless riding.
"It's one of the highest careless riding incidents we've seen in recent times," van Gestel said.
"Your actions are bordering on reckless.
"The consequences have obviously been significant in that we've got horses that fall."
Zahra will begin the penalty on April 23 and can resume riding on June 2.
Hugh Bowman and Tommy Berry also incurred careless riding suspensions from the program with Bowman outed for four meetings and Berry six.

The market players are aware that the direction of the technology sectors decides the movements of the broader markets. It can be said that yesterday’s robust movement in the technology sector primarily aided the broader markets. On November 26, 2018, Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session at 24,640.24 which implies a rise of 354.29 points or 1.46%. On the same day, Amazon Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) witnessed a strong surge of 5.28%. Other tech giants like Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL), Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOGL) ended the session by witnessing the rise of 3.53%, 1.35%, 1.01%, and 2.51%, respectively. No so long ago, the technology sector witnessed the negative impacts. However, the market players would be eagerly waiting for the meeting which would take place between the US and China as any settlement would ease the tension prevailing in the investors’ minds. Additionally, the settlement is likely to positively impact the technology sector, and if the technology giants witnessed robust momentum, the broader markets are likely to follow them. The global disturbances like the trade wars can severely impact the performance of the global markets and can also hamper consumer confidence.
What Has been Weighing on the Oil Prices
The weakness in the oil prices is still visible which could further impact the investors’ behaviour as well as confidence. The negative momentum with respect to financial markets raises the worries related to the economic slowdown which could slow down the demand prospects of the oil. Therefore, the participants in the oil markets are presently worried about the situation of the oversupply. However, after the OPEC meeting, there is a high probability that the oil prices might stabilize because it is expected that the discussions in the meeting would primarily focus on cutting down the levels of production. However, emerging markets or EMs like India, tend to benefit with the fall in the oil prices because of its dependency on oil consumption. When there were worries that the oil prices might witness strong uptrend, the Indian economy was witnessing the negative impacts. However, it would not be wrong to say that the oil prices are expected to remain sensitive to the outcome of the meeting between the United States and China.
Australian Markets Ended on Strong Note
The Australian markets ended on the positive note as S&P/ASX200 settles as 5728.3 which implies the rise of 56.7 points or 1%. Afterpay Touch Group Limited (ASX: APT) and Seven West Media Limited (ASX: SWM) ended the session on November 27, 2018 by witnessing a rise of 8.626% and 7.407%, respectively. Talking about the stocks which witnessed the decline, Syrah Resources Limited (ASX: SYR) and Resolute Mining Limited (ASX: RSG) ended the session by witnessing a decline of 5.621% and 3.125%, respectively.
Santos Limited (ASX: STO) has completed the acquisition of Quadrant Energy as it has received the approval from ACCC or Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. Read the full news here. Advanced Braking Technology Limited (ASX: ABV) provided an update related to the braking system. Read the full news here.

How I Met Your Mother was a long-running sitcom that starred Josh Radnor, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jason Segel. The show aired on television for almost ten years. It cast a lot of guest stars. But not all the actors wanted to have celebrities in their show. Neil Patrick Harris did not want Britney Spears’ cameo on How I Met Your Mother. This is the reason why!
Neil liked the show a lot and was very protective of it, even though he didn’t like cameos. Even if they were from well-known people like Britney Spears. He told the reason behind it.
“Viewership is not our game.”
In the end, he thought that the show didn’t need any cameos and that having celebrities show up would hurt the plot. He also didn’t want the show to be a copy of Will & Grace. He said, “I’m in the minority thinking that our show doesn’t need stunt casting to do well. I worry that the show will suffer if they start Will and Grace-ing us too much. And we’re all proud of the content of the show. I mean, viewership is not our game. It’s the network and the studio’s game. It’s the promotion.”
Because they were competing with “Dancing with the Stars,” Britney’s much-needed cameo was necessary for many reasons. Even though Harris doesn’t like it, the million different views she got directly result from her appearance! Without a doubt, that was a great choice.
And if it were a classic stunt casting, like, “Oh, my tour bus broke down outside,” I’d be like, “Wow, Britney Spears, what are you doing here?” “Then, we’re going to fly right over that shark. It was a great role; I think she did a good job with it. I’m glad we didn’t try to mess it up. When the pop stars’ camp approached the show, we knew what was at stake,” the show’s executive producer said.
The Los Angeles Times said that it was a brilliant move. Not only did it get record-high ratings, but it was also a very memorable episode. The show loved her cameo, and they were open to having her back in the future. On the other hand, Neil Patrick Harris had a different opinion when all was said and done.

Endowment gifts provide the School with reliable investment earnings in perpetuity, while yielding an annual revenue stream that brings stability and creativity to each year’s needs. The principal of the endowment fund remains intact while the School draws a percentage of the interest income to offset operating expenditures. As the endowment grows, so do the funds available each year from the draw. This helps take pressure off the School’s annual operating budget — currently with a draw that is equal to about 6% of the yearly revenue total.
The endowment fund provides long-term security for the School while funding initiatives like professional development, academic programs, endowed chairs and financial aid. Built through a series of special campaigns, the establishment of restricted endowed funds, and significant class gifts, the endowment fund provides a solid basis of support for the School. This fund ensures that programming that makes Blake so unique and strong will always be secure.
The initiatives below represent the notable efforts established by alumni, parents and other friends to support teaching and learning at The Blake School. Your participation is invited and celebrated!
Endowment funds are invested in perpetuity. Only a portion of the earned income from these investments is used each year, preserving the underlying fund and future-earning potential.
The categories of the funds listed are:
Through the Distinguished Voices Series, The Blake School is able to maximize dollars dedicated to bringing guest speakers and artists to its campuses while fulfilling its donors’ intent in a meaningful and effective way. Gathering all speaker funds, dollars for artist residencies and symposia monies under one over-arching program also allows for:
- Greater school-wide access to and increased impact from guest speakers, visiting artists and other residencies
- More effective planning for these distinguished visitors to successfully integrate them into the School’s curricula
- Increased understanding of Blake’s mission and goals by interested parties outside the School’s walls
- Thoughtful and efficient use of the dollars available for outside presenters
The following funds are currently part of Blake’s Distinguished Voices Series:
Blake and Northrop Classes of 1955 Speaker Fund
In honor of their 40th class reunion, the Northrop and Blake classes of 1955 chose to join forces to create a lasting endowment to The Blake School. This annual speaker program gives Blake students, faculty and others in the School community the opportunity to be exposed to new voices, new ideas and new role models. The speaker selection is made according to the audience priorities of Blake students and faculty, parents and alumni and the general community. The type and number of speakers for this program is flexible. Each speaker visits the various campuses as appropriate and talks with large and small groups of students and faculty.
Since 1992, the School has sponsored an annual diversity symposium featuring a well-known local or national speaker to address various aspects of diversity. Blake strives to provide a forum for conversation about diversity and multicultural education that is accessible to the larger Twin Cities community. Through the Diversity Symposium, the School expands its educational environment beyond its four walls and heightens awareness of issues that impact our community. Blake recognizes that true learning takes place through exposure, interaction and building meaningful relationships with our surrounding communities.
*Currently, there is no dedicated fund connected to this annual presentation. The “distinguished voice” featured at the symposium helps illuminate a facet of Blake’s commitment to pluralism.
Albert Cobb Martin Memorial Lectures
Named for a 1939 Blake alumnus who died in 1944 in the Battle of the Bulge, the Martin Lecture series honored a hero who was (per an archived program,) "felled by enemy fire in a valiant attempt to rescue one of his men." The Martin Series was discontinued around the time of the merger; however, a modest endowed fund still remains.
McGuire Visiting Artist Program
Created by the McGuire family to promote arts education at Blake, the McGuire Visiting Artist Program brings an artist to The Blake School every year to work with students and faculty at each of the School's three campuses. Blake's art faculty selects the artist, with the approval of the Head of School. The annual residency generally includes: the artist meeting the art faculty and getting acquainted with the School; the artist working with students at each campus; the art faculty continuing the project or program initiated by the visiting artist; and, the artist returning to each campus for a follow-up visit. The visiting artist residency generally culminates in a permanent art installation or final performance.
Philip Otis Environmental Author Program
Established in 1996 to honor the memory of Phil Otis, the program brings a prominent author who writes about environmental issues to The Blake School. The author spends two to three days at Blake, meeting with students, faculty and other members of the community in various settings to promote a greater awareness of the environmental issues that were important to Phil. Students and faculty prepare for the biennial residency by reading works of the author and by participating in other related activities, such as field trips and lectures by local environmentalists.
Michael Kim Shulman Memorial Speaker Fund
The Shulman Symposium is presented in memory of Michael Kim Shulman, who attended Blake from sixth grade until his sophomore year in 1987, when he collapsed and died from heart failure of unexplained origin and cause. The Shulman Symposium is designed as an opportunity for Upper School students to hear an extraordinary motivational speaker.
Steiner Lecture Series
The Steiner Family Lecture Series Fund is a living memorial honoring the lives of two individuals who made great contributions to Blake. George Steiner ‘31 served on the Board of Trustees from 1964 to 1972. His son, Robin Steiner, sat on the board from 1988 to 1993. The Steiner Lecture is an annual event delivered to the entire Upper School community. The objective is to provoke thought and discussion around real world issues within Upper School classrooms and the homes of Blake families.

A new online tool can help importers determine if their suppliers have a clean food safety record.
The Food and Drug Administration said a new section of the agency’s data dashboard can help importers easily find compliance and enforcement information related to specific firms, according to a news release. It is a supplement to the agency’s existing Supplier Evaluation Resources page.
Both the foreign supplier verification programs rule and the preventive controls for human food rule contain supply-chain requirements that require checks of food safety practices of suppliers.
The foreign supplier verification programs rule requires importers to perform risk-based activities to make sure their suppliers are meeting U.S. food safety standards, according to the release. One of those activities is an evaluation of a supplier’s performance and the risk associated with the food. In doing that, the release said importers can evaluate a supplier’s compliance with FDA regulations such as whether the supplier is subject to an FDA warning letter, import alert, or other FDA compliance action related to food safety.
In a similar way, the preventive controls rule requires manufacturers/processors to perform supplier approval if the ingredient supplied contains a hazard requiring a supply-chain applied control, according to the release. Supplier approval includes evaluation of the supplier’s compliance with food safety laws and regulations.
The release said FDA’s expansion of the data dashboard to make it easier to search for the food safety records of suppliers is one way FDA is working to help industry comply with the new food safety standards.

LED light panel and Red/Amber lens PAIR - add indicator function to Lucas ST51 SPLIT lens Stop & Tail lamps
PAIR of all in one LED light boards and split Red/Amber lenses for conversion of Lucas ST51 SPLIT lens 'D Lamp' type Stop & Tail lamps (with or without number plate illumination) fitted with all RED lenses, to Stop, Tail, INDICATOR & number plate illumination operation. On board electronics make this product suitable for 6V & 12V vehicles, either Positive or Negative earth.
This is a new product specially designed to fit the Lucas ST51 lamp and modern reproductions to the original pattern, such as Vinate Supplies'/sVc's '249A' and '428A' part numbered products. The product features a main, D shaped light board with two sections of LEDs - one RED and one AMBER - that locates between the original lens and the lens retaining wire. An additional WHITE LED light board is attached perpendicular to the main board to provide number plate illumination, though the assembly is suitable for D lamps with or without a number plate illumination window.
The board is fitted with one bulb base BA15D connector (please note - equal NOT offset pin) on 15cm connecting wires and one BA15S bulb base connector on 10cm connecting wires. One terminal of the BA15D base illuminates the Tail light (first brightness RED) and the Number Plate light (WHITE). The second terminal illuminates the Stop light (second brightness RED). The BA15S connection iluminates the AMBER indication/turn signal LEDs. Use of bulb base style connectors allows easy return of the lamp to its original condition if required.
These boards have a very low power requirement and provide great all over lens lighting from 27 RED LEDs and 24 AMBER LEDs, with the fast response time/illumination under braking characteristic of LEDs - plus good distinction between STOP and TAIL brightnesses. This is a 'plug and play' product that requires no attachment other than plugging in the two bulb connectors and locating the LED board between the lens and the lens retaining spring clip, then reassembly of the lamps with the new Red/Amber lenses instead of the all Red split lens. Two 1.5mm thick rubber lens seals are provided in the kit, one for each lens if required. Conversion kit for a PAIR of lamps.

In today’s digital age, couples are increasingly meeting via online, rather than relying on introductions from friends, family, or social events. Without the barriers of physical proximity, individuals seeking romantic relationships can tap into a bottomless pool of potential partners. That means, who we are around in real life, no longer limits who we can get to know. Although dating apps are intended to foster positive connections, they simultaneously allow us to conceal socially unacceptable behavior. Individuals unfortunately have the ability to exploit this anonymity, to mask certain harmful biases and prejudices . In the context of online dating, “individual preferences” can be a result of two things identified by researchers —either a lack of exposure to those different from us, or underlying biases. This prompts a crucial inquiry: Is there such a thing as “dating preferences” regarding race, or is that an attempt to eclipse discriminatory behaviors? The relationship between romantic decision-making and racial bias in the world of online dating is the focus of the recent research conducted by three scholars.
In, The Dating Divide: Race and Desire in the Era of Online Romance, the origins and implications of “digital-sexual racism” are discussed. Using qualitative reports from 77 interviews of online daters, and data pulled from millions of profiles on a major dating site in the United States, the topics of gender, sexuality, feminism, and racism were explored. Researchers and authors, Celeste Vaughan Curington, Jennifer H. Lundquist, and Ken-Hou Lin thoroughly dissect the role of race in our sexual behaviors. Describing their objective they write, “our aim is to call into question the naïve views that intimate racial preferences are natural, apolitical, and inconsequential. Indeed as we show throughout this book, societal forces that insist on a racial hierarchy of desire shape our intimate desires, whether or not we’d like to address that fact” (Curington et. al 2021 p.15).
They begin the discussion of their research through an extensive examination of the United States’ history regarding slavery, the civil rights’ movement, and segregation. Although the impact of race and racism cannot be contained within the words of one book, I appreciated the extent to which the history of courtship and racial justice was detailed by the authors.
Sexual selections were historically reliant on factors far outside of individual or passionate decision-making. In terms of marriage, our most vulnerable judgments were not personal, instead, they were a choice made for us by the state. “Sexual preference did not have to do with merely whom one desired. Rather, sex and reproduction were avenues by which property, citizenship, and propriety could be expanded to (or withdrawn from) individuals” (Curington et. al 2021 p.31). Concurrently, the emergence of dating coincided with a post-slavery America. During this time period, it was common for white Americans to intensely fear the concept of “intimate racial mixing”. These unjustified fears contributed to systemic biases favoring proximity to whiteness, particularly regarding romantic relationships. In other words, Black Americans were not only seen as undesirable by white Americans, but by any group hoping to further themselves as well. Racial mixing was so disparaged, that it was not until 1998 in South Carolina and 2000 in Alabama that these anti-miscegenation laws, or laws forbidding interracial intimate relationships, were no longer in effect (Curington et. al 2021 p.12). As a result, the dating hierarchy of the 20th century mirrors behaviors seen in intimate connections today.
Despite the appalling foundations that intimacy has in a racially segregated America, society has yet to distance ourselves from these biases. As a Black woman, what Curington and her researchers found was not entirely shocking to me. “Race cuts across gender and sexual orientation, playing a more fundamental role in our romantic lives than just about any other characteristic” (Curington et. al 2021 p. 214). Throughout my dating experiences, I have found myself questioning if a potential partner would even like my race. In social settings, I was often ignored because I was not as desirable as the white women next to me. While it was not always confirmed that this was a direct result of my race, when copious amounts of women of color have their own versions of these experiences, it becomes harder to overlook. Through my interactions with other women of color, I have personally found this sentiment to be far too common. The use of the authors’ qualitative research to explore these anxieties further is to be appreciated. A driving point of the book is that it is nearly impossible to live in a society with such historically racialized systems in place, and not enact these same behaviors, even subconsciously, in our own lives. Even if we are not aware of it, “one’s preferences for white partners are not so innocent as preferences for anchovies or avocados” (Curington et. al 2021 p. 15). When we chalk up a left swipe on an entire race as an “individual preference” we are normalizing and propelling harmful stereotypes. One of my favorite quotes from the book summarizes this concept best, “It is an oxymoron to describe racial preferences as individual because race is by definition a social construct, a manufactured distinction generated through the regulation of intimate life” (Curington et. al 2021 p. 13).
Keeping this definition in mind, the qualitative and quantitative data analyzed by the authors revealed numerous intimate, racial patterns. A selection of the central findings in the book are as follows:
- White males are statistically the most desired by all reported racial groups. Non-White females tend to prefer White men over their own racial group.
- White women are not as universally sought as white men. All non-White groups prefer dating women of their own racial group over White women.
- Black daters tend to be the most excluded by all non-Black groups. They are the least likely to receive messages or responses from other racial groups.
- White women exclude Asian men more than White men exclude Asian women. White men exclude Black women more than White women exclude Black men
- Latino men prefer Latina women the most, and White and Asian women are second. Latina women prefer White men the most, followed by Latino and Asian men. Both groups tend to ignore Black daters (Horowitz 2023).
The selected findings are only a portion of the concepts relating sexual racism. Curington and her team discuss a wealth of additional themes as a result of their research, especially concerning LGBTQ+ and multiracial daters. I encourage readers to explore these findings further if you are looking to expand your knowledge on the interaction between intimacy, sexuality, gender, and race.
When no one else is watching, what choices do we make? Online dating has the potential to be exceptionally revolutionary, yet it is still one of the only contexts in which it is acceptable to choose one race over another It is not the intention of the researchers, nor myself to condemn the preferences of dating individuals and how they choose to approach digital courtship. It might lead to more harm than rewards to overanalyze each partner you choose and determine whether your coupling was a subconscious act of racism. Instead, it is important to understand what exactly is going on in our dating apps and how our biases may play a role in our connections. When we critically examine why we make the decisions that we do, we are able to explore our romantic relationships with more sincerity and intention.

This is the day when people pay tribute to and honour doctors for their tireless service. Doctors are the guardians of health. As a Chinese proverb says, “Only the healing art enables one to make a name for himself and, at the same time, give others the benefit.” Well, the tireless service of the doctors deserves to be commemorated. That is why in India, July 1 is celebrated as the National Doctor’s Day.
The aim of National Doctor’s Day is to honour the contributions of doctors to the general public. Individuals and institutes celebrate this day to make mindfulness among the basic open about the significance and role of doctors. It is an incredible method to energize and value their work. People say that doctors are Gods on earth. This is because they can give the gift of health to people who might not live otherwise. The increasing violence against doctors in India makes the observance of National Doctor’s Day even more relevant and important. Ensuring the safety and security of doctors during their working hours is the need of the hour. That is why the the Indian Medical Association has announced the theme for this year National Doctor’s Day as ‘Zero tolerance to violence against doctors and clinical establishment.’
History behind National Doctor’s Day
Various parts of the world observes Doctor’s Day on various days. In India, July 1 was picked as National Doctor’s Day since it is the birth anniversary of the well known doctor Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. Unintentionally, it is his demise anniversary as well. Aside from being a famous doctor, Dr. Roy was likewise an educationist, philanthropist and a freedom fighter. He was the second Chief Minister of West Bengal.
As As already mentioned, the date of Doctor’s Day isn’t the equivalent in each nation. It was first celebrated in Georgia, US, on March 30, 1933. Eudora Brown Almond, wife of a noticeable specialist needed multi day only for perceiving and respecting doctors. She was the person who started this campaign. Eudora decided to mail greeting cards to all the doctors she knew and to place flowers on the graves of deceased doctors. She placed red carnations on the graves of these doctors. People still use red carnations for National Doctors’ Day celebrations across the globe as it symbolises sacrifice, charity, courage, bravery and love.
The right approach towards doctors
A year ago, the Indian Medical Association proclaimed checked first eighth July as the ‘Protected Fraternity Week’. India is a nation that observes regular demonstrations of brutality against therapeutic experts. As of late, in West Bengal, relatives of a patient beat up and seriously harmed a lesser specialist. This prompted a strike by the doctors in all administration emergency clinics, which before long spread through the entire country.which soon spread through the whole nation. People hold doctors in high esteem and put them on a pedestal. But, patients and their relatives should understand that they are not gods and remember that they can do everything within their means to save patients. They must understand that doctors cannot perform miracles. As such, violence against them is not justified and this mind set needs to change.
We should be thankful to them for their service and avoid calling them unnecessarily as they get very less time for themselves. Doctors deserve our respect and we must respect their personal space and be polite to them. Moreover, we must follow their instructions carefully and remember that, being human, they do not have superhuman powers.
Doctors work day in and day out for your health. So, this National Doctor’s Day, you can do your bit and thank your doctor.
