Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has chosen to expand Medicaid by making a deal with the Obama administration. Florida Speaker of the House Steve Crisafulli, with Governor Rick Scott’s tacit approval, has said no to Medicaid expansion. Which decision makes the most sense?
Governor Haslam’s plan, called Insure Tennessee, still must meet the approval of the Tennessee legislature. Their decision could have a big influence on what other Republican states might do, according to Christie Herrera and Justin Owen in an article printed in The Wall Street Journal.
Haslam’s plan calls for adding an additional 400,000 Tennesseans earning about $16,000 a year, plus another 125,000 to 150,000 who are already paying for health insurance through their employer. Enrollees would have two options:
- Traditional Medicaid with meager premiums and copay
- A so-called “private option” under which they would receive a subsidy to pay for insurance through their employer
Herrera and Owen say there is nothing fundamentally different about this Medicaid expansion plan from that originally envisioned by the architects of ObamaCare. They point out five important things to know:
- There are no free federal dollars – Just because the federal government agrees to pick up 100% of the costs (until 2016), every dollar used to finance the expansion of Medicaid is a dollar borrowed and added to the national debt (which now exceeds $18 Trillion!
- Decreased access for current Medicaid enrollees – By flooding the market with more Medicaid patients without increasing the provider fees – and therefore increasing the providers – there will be the same limited number of willing physicians to treat the increased number of patients. The result will be decreased access to care for all Medicaid patients in the state.
- Private option (The Volunteer Plan) is bad for the public – This provides a premium subsidy for workers eligible for ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion. To get the subsidy, employers only need to pay 50% of an enrollee’s premiums. Since Tennessee employers currently pay 65% or more of an employee’s premiums, this option incentivizes employers to drop their share of premiums down to 50% so taxpayers can “volunteer” to pay the rest.
- Dis-enrollment threats are meaningless – The plan calls for new enrollees to pay a monthly premium equivalent to 2% of income. While this is a good idea, it is meaningless unless the threat of dis-enrollment is real. Indiana Governor Mike Pence tried the same provision but the federal government prohibited more than three-quarters of that state’s Medicaid-expansion enrollees from being dis-enrolled for nonpayment.
- Funding scheme is questionable – Hospitals are supposed to front the state money through a provider tax, which the state then uses to prove to the federal government that it has funded its portion of the program in order to get additional federal tax dollars. Both Tennessee Senators Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander have called for ending this deceptive financing mechanism.
Florida Says No
In Florida, where I live, the newspapers have been flooded with articles calling for the expansion of Medicaid. This pressure comes largely from the work of a coalition of hospitals and business interests called A Healthy Florida Works. This group is pushing for Medicaid expansion in order to capture the federal dollars promised by ObamaCare. They point to the presumed economic benefits of this influx of federal money to the state.
In an earlier post , entitled Lessons On State Expansion of Medicaid, I pointed out the dubious economic benefits of Medicaid expansion according to Devon Herrick of The National Center for Policy Analysis:
“Proponents of Medicaid expansion often tout the “economic benefits” that additional Medicaid funds might create within states. A study by economist Robert Book found that rather than stimulating the economy, Medicaid expansion is a drain on employment and slows economic growth. If all states expanded Medicaid, his analysis shows Texas would suffer a $46 billion negative economic impact over 10 years. Moreover, Texas employment losses would amount to 54,445 work-years from 2014 to 2017.”
There’s another important issue. An analysis of past Medicaid expansions in the 1990s by ObamaCare advisors David Cutler and Jonathan Gruber found that when Medicaid eligibility was expanded to those who already have private insurance, 50 to 75 percent of the newly enrolled drop private coverage. Therefore, a conservative estimate is that Medicaid rolls might have to rise by 1.4 people in order to reduce the uninsured by 1 person. This raises the cost considerably because the government is now paying for those who previously paid for their own insurance.
The Insure Tennessee plan calls for Medicaid expansion through employer-sponsored insurance as described above in The Volunteer Plan. Applying the work of Cutler and Gruber, this means the Medicaid rolls in Tennessee would have to increase by 1.4 people in order to reduce the number of uninsured by 1 person. When you consider this expansion is at the expense of the taxpayers, it is an expensive and poorly efficient plan. Looks to me like Florida is making the correct call – at least until a better plan than Insure Tennessee comes along.

Catching up with the Atlantic City home-girl and dance legend.
ATLANTIC CITY — I sensed a real sweetness, almost innocence, while talking and laughing with Ms. Pattie Harris, who usually exudes a more diva-like persona. Sitting in her modest living room full of animal-print sofas, pillows and rugs one recent Sunday afternoon, she was still nursing an Achilles injury.
In a cozy purple sweater and gray sweatpants, the orange Mohawk was expertly coiffed as usual. I remembered attending her 75th birthday party a few years ago and knew then I wanted to hear her story from her own mouth, but she is one hard lady to catch up with. Only recently has she stopped teaching dance classes part-time because of her injury.
Considered an Atlantic City home-girl, Ms. Pattie was as interesting and funny as I had expected.
She was actually born in Henderson, N.C., but grew up in Newark and Atlantic City, N.J., having arrived here permanently around fifth grade.
She attended New Jersey Avenue School and recalls her teachers as “elegant, professional women who would not pass you on to the next grade until you had learned everything they wanted you to learn.”
She can’t remember a time in her life when she didn’t love dance and believes that is what she was sent to this planet to do.
Staring out her sunny front window, she wistfully recalls being a little girl “who was always singing ‘Stormy Weather’ and asking God to make me be Lena Horne.” While attending and performing in small shows at Atlantic City High School, she also took lessons at the Chloe Price Dance School, because it was “the biggest one, where all the Jewish kids went, and she did a show on the Steel Pier.”
Chloe Price let Harris teach some classes where she heard about a beauty contest for black girls being held at the Apollo Theater in New York City. Basically, she went on a whim and though she didn’t win the contest, she did meet Larry Steele, who told the young contestants about his Club Harlem shows in Atlantic City.
Steele’s shows, one known as the “Sepia Revue,” were reputed to feature the most beautiful and talented black women dancers in the world.
When Harris returned to Atlantic City, she found out where Steele lived, boldly went to his house and asked for an audition. That was the beginning of her real career as a dancer, but she only performed in chorus lines at the Club Harlem during the summer months because of all the things people said happened to girls on the road.
It dawned on me the other day that I have completed my first year as an acweekly.com columnist. It’s been one of the best years of my life, a year that has forced me to challenge myself and grow as a writer.
The Atlantic City Ballet’s two newest productions, 'Caught Up in the Swing' and '7 Sins.' will be featured as double-header productions at three southern New Jersey locations — Rowan University’s Wilson Hall’s Pfleeger Theater (Saturday, March 17, starting 7pm); the Ocean First Theater in Manahawkin (Saturday, March 31, 7pm); and at Richard Stockton College’s Performing Arts Center (Thursday, April 19, 7pm). Both productions are family friendly and appropriate for all ages.
On Tuesday, Feb. 22, groundbreaking will commence on the newest Smithsonian museum in Washington, D.C. The Smithsonian’s 19th museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, will occupy a five-acre site on Constitution Avenue between 14th and 15th streets N.W., between the Washington Monument and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
Over the last few months when families were gathering for all types of occasions, some of the young men in our family refused to attend because of “so many divorced couples and so few new marriages.” I was disappointed by their absence but understood their sentiments. Like many modern American families, we’ve had so many divorces now that one niece asked, “Is divorce a tradition in our family?”
Let’s set the record straight: Kwanzaa is truly African-American. It is NOT a religious holiday.

Less than a month ago tornadoes ripped through Tuscaloosa, AL. A friend of mine from school, who just graduated, is from Tuscaloosa. Sadly, his house was damaged and homes of family members and friends were destroyed. The weekend following, my class, the sophomore Awakened class, decided to do a fund raiser for both Japan and Alabama through Fro-Jo's Frozen Yogurt and Coffee in Lexington, KY. We raised over $300 to buy supplies for the people of Alabama and sent it to them through a local radio station.
This is the few, the proud, the people who had no plans for the first week of summer, who decided to go and help out.
Although Asbury is a small college, I did not know many of these people, but we had a great time. The men put their muscles and chainsaws to work and took care of the trees in yards (actually they completely cut apart the tree in the above picture) and helped with outdoor clean up. But they were showed up. How legit is this?
Yes, that does say, "Texas Baptist Men, Chainsaw Unit." Biggest chainsaws I've ever seen!
Being the only girls on the trip, Jenelle and I helped out at a church sorting donations. We met some awesome people and experienced true southern hospitality and stellar sweet tea.
Although these pictures don't do it justice, the devastation was great and indescribable. Please continue to pray for the people of Alabama, but also those in Missouri and everywhere tornadoes have hit.

Moreover, your soccer ball will probably be stored at your house among your other sports gear. You need to make sure that it is made from safe material that will not degenerate quickly or lead to health hazards if it is touched by a pet or a child. For these reasons, and so many more, people need to find the best soccer balls to buy and use. Soccer balls are assed based on the materials used in manufacturing, the aerodynamics, air pressure retention, water uptake and durability and shape retention. In this article we came up with the list of the best soccer ball brands so that you choose the one that suits your needs and preferences:
This particular indoor ball has all the qualities that make it ideal for an indoor soccer ball. The exterior uses a soft felt material. The panels of this size 5 indoor ball are hand stitched which makes it more durable than machine stitched panels. Its bounce is not too high which sits well with the requirements of an indoor soccer ball. It is not too bouncy or light but it flies rather well when kicked. This gives the player ample control during a session. It has a comfortable texture that’s pleasant to hold, for a goalkeeper and comfortable for footwork especially if the player is barefooted. Has a bright color that makes it visible during a game. Players can easily keep track of it, especially in an indoor setting.
This is much like the kind of balls that I often buy and play with. This is a training ball, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that means it is low quality. It is machine stitched, meaning it is mass-produced and has a nylon interior, making the ball last a long time as you practice and do your daily drills. It also has a butyl bladder and is polyurethane so that it will stay inflated longer. It has a really catchy green and black design and I’m sure all the kids would absolutely love to have this ball (or two) for the great price!
What sets each soccer ball apart from another is the quality of the materials that are used in its construction. The lining, bladder, cover, and the quality of the overall craftsmanship will all influence the final cost of the soccer ball you’re looking at. Higher quality balls are usually bonded together to provide a superior shape retention experience and offer a truer flight.
Wilson is a classic sports company that gives you just about everything that you need in a soccer ball. This ball has a synthetic leather cover which is soft to the kick, but also has enhanced ball durability. It has a butyl rubber bladder to hold the air which gives the ball its shape and and retains the air. This has the classic black and white panel colors.
Tachikara ball is sold deflated at a reasonable price that is friendly to your pocket. The orange and white size-three ball is made of leather and machine-stitched making it very durable. It is the ideal ball for PE classes, for warm-ups, camps, and recreational play. This new soccer ball with butyl bladder is a great all around youth football ball.
As one of the finest and unique soccer balls from Wilson, its stands out as a versatile soccer ball with the ability to retain air pressure for the longest of the time. It can withstand outdoor weather conditions. Its synthetic leather prevents the soccer balls from getting drenched in water. Expect it in top notch quality to suit your fun play time. Don't worry about its texture.
This is the 4th one we've ordered! This is a tough ball that glows very brightly at night and comes with an extra battery, but we haven't had to change batteries after 2 summers of playing with it. Whenever my kids brought it out during our outdoor, night-time, community concerts, all the kids wanted to play with it and tons of parents came up to get the information on where to get it. I had originally ordered it so that my son could still see the ball at the end of his fall soccer practices, since they play on a field without lights. Now it is the favorite birthday present to give to all of my kids' friends (ages 7 and 11).
Size 5 is the official size for professional matches. Therefore, this ball is only available in this size. Do not use this soccer ball on concreted areas. Its unique rubber uses Puma Airlock Valve Technology (PAL) in order to facilitate proper airlock technology. This ball features Perimeter Balance Technology (PBT) which enables it to maintain impressive flight characteristics.
I bought this soccer ball for my granddaughters for Christmas. It arrived inflated, which concerned me. My husband inflated it with no problem and it is just fine. The ball is bigger than I thought it would be, but that is because it is a size 5 and the girls use a size 4. I didn't see the different sizes when I ordered it. It does light up very nicely and the girls love it. They got outdoor soccer nets for Christmas and I thought this ball would be great as they play late in the day. They can't wait to put it to use.
With all of those accolades, you might be a bit surprised that this is only rated as the best training soccer ball we reviewed rather than the best performing. For the most part, those questions are warranted as the first two layers of this soccer ball are made out of great materials. The casing is made of TPU, which provides a solid amount of durability, but it is the lining that stands out. With both polyester and EVA, this ball is easier to kick for longer periods without suffering from fatigue.
The Desafio 395 new soccer ball has UA TOUCHSKIN Technology that helps deliver a soft touch and an excellent feel when handling the ball. It is made of PU exterior material that is great for power transfer. Besides, the ball has an SBR Foam layer that adds softness for improved performance while the high rebound rubber bladder ensures excellent control and touch of the ball. It can be bought in two different sizes and selecting the best color depends on your personal preference.
Soccer balls also need maintenance in order to extend their lifespan. Avoid putting unnecessary pressure into them like standing or sitting on the actual ball. Doing so can damage a soccer ball’s pressure system, making it change its shape and structure. Don’t kick the ball against hard, rocky or rough surfaces as this could puncture it easily. This may also cause you to get a new replacement ball.
The Futsal ball is typically smaller, harder, and heavier, allowing for less bounce and better control on harder surfaces. Senda Athletics is the official ball partner of U.S. Youth Futsal and the Vitoria is the Official Ball of the USYF League. Accented with bright red or green and created with fair trade practices, its stamp of "Respect," "Joy," and "Community" expresses the company's philosophy.

It’s mid-January and many people are just finally taking the last of their holiday decorations down. But, it’s not too soon for Target to make its first major announcement about the 2021 holiday season.
Last year, Target decided to close all of its stores on Thanksgiving, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shoppers hoping to make a post-Thanksgiving meal Target run in 2021 are also going to have to wait until Black Friday as the company announced it will keep its stores closed on Thanksgiving again this year.
The announcement came as Target shared its holiday sales performance numbers from 2020. The retailer totally overhauled its strategy to meet the new demands brought on by the ongoing public health crisis and saw big success.
“With safety top-of-mind, we took a completely new approach to Black Friday, offering big savings throughout the entire season and enhancing our Price Match Policy to provide guests with the ultimate assurance that they could count on Target for the best deals, regardless of when or how they chose to shop,” Target said in its official corporate press release. “The response was so positive that we’ll carry it forward this year, keeping our Target stores closed all day long on Thanksgiving Day.”
Target changed its Black Friday deals from a two- or three-day sales event to a month-long promotion called “Black Friday Now.” The deals were available on a rotating basis throughout the month and shoppers could take advantage of them either online or at their nearest Target location.
Black Friday shopper Joanna Krase, 37, of Burbank, wearing a face mask checks the bargains at a Target store at the Glendale Galleria in Glendale, Calif., Friday, Nov. 27, 2020. (AP Photo/Ringo H.W. Chiu)
The company said its customers took advantage of online shopping and pickup opportunities in record numbers, as a result. In December, shoppers purchased 150 million items using Target’s drive-up and order pickup offerings. The retail giants also reported that its employees fulfilled 6.5 million items on just one day in December for customers who used those options.
Will Target’s reports of success and its early store-closure announcement mean the permanent end of Thanksgiving Day holiday shopping trips? We don’t know when other retailers will make their announcements, but Black Friday deals and our holiday shopping traditions may be starting a long-term evolution.
If so, it’s just another unexpected way in which the pandemic has changed our world.

So, as a writer, I’ve got to work out the literary structure of the story and also the way it will look in pictures. For example, what sort of angle are you going to use? If you’re trying to make someone look helpless and vulnerable or set someone up for being killed and get the suspense going, you’ve got to have a high angle shot looking down on them, so that they’re little tiny ﬁgures.

The Dollar Bill Murrays Are Bowling Alley Warriors In New Video
Brisbane's own The Dollar Bill Murrays have released a follow up to their beloved sophomore EP with their playfully overdriven single 'Dancing With Death' and accompanying music video.
The single, their first release since their Always On EP was released in April 2017, see's the band harness the energy of their wild after=dark adventures for their latest offering, which was produced by Brock Weston (Bugs) at Bedlam Studios and mastered by Tyson Ruth at Studio Truth. With a playful combination of cowbell, counter licks, and an abundance of crashing cymbals and furious strumming, the track is written about those seemingly innocuous nights that pan out completely differently to how they began. A gritty dance-rock number, it encourages you to let loose and lose your daytime sensibilities.
In the accompanying music video, the four-piece get caught up in a fierce street fighter style battle with the territorial Marge 'n her hostile crew. One-by-one, the band must battle and defeat Marge in a variety of challenges to earn their right to bowl in peace.
“It's a battle for the ages... or at least for the Aspley 10 Pin Bowl - we find ourselves locked into bitter territorial combat when we step on the wrong toes at our favourite alley. Nights were made to make mistakes, but with everything on the line these ten frames and reheated hot dogs could be our last,” says the band.

It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Even so, it appears that an alleged Chinese Overwatch clone has perhaps taken that outside of the realm of “flattering” and into “outright copyright infringement”.
The game in question is the mobile FPS MOBA Heroes of Warfare, which is being taken to court by Blizzard China and NetEase for violating intellectual property as well as China’s unfair competition law.
In the filing, Blizzard China and NetEase are requesting that Apple remove Heroes of Warfare from the store and are demanding an apology and restitution from the game’s creator. How much that restitution is was not specified in the original report.
Yeah, that definitely looks like a cheap knock-off of Overwatch. We don’t expect Heroes of Warfare to last very long, either in the Apple Store, in court, or in any other format. Until, of course, some other “enterprising” game developer decides to try doing the same thing.
Incidentally, here’s a fun tinfoil hat theory: this move isn’t just purely a copyright protection suit, but a hint that maybe the secondary Overwatch project is a mobile title…


The Republican convention host committee took in roughly $65.8 million to pay for Donald Trump’s nominating party in Cleveland this summer, despite reports that donors were reluctant to contribute.
The haul surpasses the $64 million in combined cash and in-kind contributions that was the committee’s goal.
“The Cleveland Host Committee raised more money than either of the previous two RNC host committees, and we have raised enough money to cover all expenses,” said Emily Lauer, a spokeswoman for the committee.
The committee released details about its contributions and spending for the first time in a filing with the Federal Election Commission today. It is allowed to keep the information secret until 60 days after the close of the convention. The host committee for the Democrats is required to file its disclosure next week.

The debut album from The Lawrence Peters Outfit is influenced by generations of country music tradition, with debts owed to Webb Pierce, Jimmy Martin, Hank Williams Sr., Harlan Howard, Dwight Yoakam and Ola Belle Reed.
The album was recorded to 2-inch tape at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio.

Land Rover Discovery price and features
Next-gen British off-road icon arrives in Oz priced from $66k
Land Rover has confirmed full details for its all-new Discovery range ahead of its official showroom arrival next month.
The local division of the British off-road brand has revealed a massive model range for its seven-seat off-roader, consisting of 12 variants (plus a special First Edition for early adopters) that are defined across four trim levels - S, SE, HSE and HSE Luxury - and the option of two diesel engines and five- or seven-seat configurations.
The range opens up at $65,960 (plus on-road costs) for the entry-level, five-seater Discovery S TD4 and tops out at $131,871 (plus on-roads) for the fully-loaded First Edition that is limited to 2400 vehicles worldwide.
All Discovery models ride on a new, lighter aluminium platform that was first introduced on the latest-generation Range Rover luxury SUV and, apart from contributing to significant fuel economy savings, liberates more interior space within the cabin. Measuring 4970mm long, 2220mm wide and 1846mm tall, the Discovery is 141mm longer than its predecessor, but is marginally narrower and sits lower. However, Land Rover's designers have pushed the wheels further into each corner of the car, extending the wheelbase by 38mm, to open-up the cabin. As a result, the second row of seats can be pushed forward by 160mm to comfortably accommodate adults up to 1.91m tall in the final row.
Each also comes standard with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive transmission. A low-range transfer case and air suspension are available as options on S models but are fitted as standard on all other variants.
Entry grade models across each trim line are powered by a 2.0-litre turbo diesel four cylinder in TD4 specification that produces 132kW/430Nm and consumes a claimed average of 6.3L/100km. Mid-spec SD4 variants have an upgraded version of the same engine that increases power outputs to 177kW/500Nm without too much penalty in fuel consumption, reaching a claimed average of 6.5L/100km. The range-topping SD6 engine is a 3.0-litre single-turbo V6 that produces 190kW/600Nm and consumes a claimed average of 7.2L/100km.
All models come with automated emergency braking, lane departure warning, a reverse camera and rear parking sensors and airbag coverage for all outboard occupants with a five-star independent crash-test rating.
In its most basic specification, the S models ride on 19-inch alloy wheels, has cloth trim and an eight-inch colour touch screen with Bluetooth connectivity. The SE grade picks up grained leather trim with eight-way electric adjustment for front seat passengers, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, sat nav while the HSE adds 20-inch alloys, electric steering column adjustment, tri-zone climate control, keyless entry, powered tailgate and a larger 10-inch touch screen with a Meridien sound system. At the top of the range, the HSE Luxury models have plush Windsor leather trim with 16-way powered adjustment and heating and cooling for front-seat occupants, adjustable ambient lighting, a chilled centre console, and a top-grade audio system with digital TV and a more comprehensive sat nav.
Like all Land Rover models, there is a long list of options allowing customers to personalise the Discovery, including the seven-seat configuration which costs $3400 across the range.

Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service! Summary: Death.For some, it's simply one of life's certainties, nothing more. For others, it's merely a fleeting thought, one often overshadowed by the reckless delusion that they have been blessed with the gift of immortality.For Aubrey Miller, death is the definition of her very existence. Overcome with the guilt resulting from the loss of her beloved family, she alters her appearance from the once beautiful, blonde-haired, blue-eyed little girl to that of one shrouded in complete darkness, enveloping herself in her own unbreakable fortress of solitude as a form of protection for others.As she enters her first year of college, her goal is simple: Earn a degree with the least amount of social interaction as possible. What she never anticipates is the formation of very unlikely relationships with two people who will change her life in ways she never believed possible: Quinn Matthews, the boisterous former pageant queen, and Kaeleb McMadden, a childhood friend from her past who never really let her go.Over the years, as their connections intertwine and grow, a seemingly indestructible bond is formed between the three.But when death painfully reemerges, Aubrey is lost once again, burying herself deeper than ever before inside the familiar fortification of her fears.Will the refuge of friendship, the solidarity of life-long bonds, and the power of unconditional love be enough to do the impossible?Will they be enough to finally bring about.The Resurrection of Aubrey Miller?. Bookseller Inventory #
Synopsis: *****#1 Bestseller in Amazon Inspirational Romance*****
"As long as you continue to travel through life in this darkness, you will never know how beautiful your light truly shines when you let yourself love and be loved. Trust me when I say, it's a breathtaking sight to see. You burn as bright as the sun."
When Aubrey Miller begins her education at Titan University, she is no longer the beautiful, blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl of her youth. In fact, she's no longer even Aubrey Miller.
Overcome with guilt and unable to cope with the loss of her beloved family, she has long since buried eight-year old Aubrey along with them and transformed herself into Raven Miller. Now with jet-black hair, multiple sets of eccentric contact lenses, and several facial piercings, she's veiled herself in complete darkness as a form of protection for herself, as well as others.
As she enters her first year of college, her goal is simple: Earn a degree with the least amount of social interaction as possible. What she never anticipates is the formation of very unlikely relationships with two people who will change her life in ways she never believed possible: Quinn Matthews, the overtly cheerful pageant queen, and Kaeleb McMadden, a childhood friend who never really let her go.
Over the years, as their connections intertwine and strengthen, a seemingly indestructible bond is formed between the three. And eventually, the ties of friendship and discovery of first love begin to coax her from her darkened path as they slowly bring Aubrey back to life.
But when faced with the possibility of yet another death, one from which she may never recover, Aubrey finds herself lost again, burying herself deeper than ever before beneath the familiar abyss of her fears.
Spanning the course of four years, this is the story of a young woman's plight to finally reemerge, finding strength within unbreakable bonds as she delivers herself from her own manufactured darkness and safely back . . .
Into the Light.

RENT-TO-OWN customers will save HUNDREDS of pounds when a cap on the total cost of credit is imposed, new analysis shared exclusively with The Sun reveals.
Firms like BrightHouse and PerfectHome often charge customers double the cost of an item on the high street and are aimed at those with poor credit scores and low incomes.
But under new rules proposed by the City Watchdog earlier this year, after The Sun's Stop the Credit Rip-Off campaign, customers of these firms would save £276 - 28 per cent - on average for items like washing machines, fridge freezers and TVs, according to data by Citizens Advice.
Citizens Advice has now analysed a range of products sold by rent-to-own firms to find how much customers could save.
For example, a two seater leather sofa would cost £1,754.22 over a three year contract, including delivery and installation, based on the average cost between two major providers.
But under the 100 per cent total cost cap customers would save up to £640 - or 37 per cent.
While a 32 inch TV would cost £681.71 under current rules, if a cap comes into play it would cut the cost by £156 or 23 per cent.
On a 60cm fridge freezer customers could save £302 - 26 per cent - and on an electric cooker they would save £174 or 30 per cent.
An electric cooker would be £123 less, down 18 per cent from £666.90 to £543.96.
At present, firms are able to charge whatever they like for items as well as adding charges for delivery and installation. They also add interest on to the total cost, and extra charges if customers miss a payment.
'I paid back more than double to rent-to-own'
GEMMA Oaks, was a customer of a rent-to-own firm for 12 years after turning to them when she was desperate after moving house aged 24.
Gemma, now 36, said: “At the time I didn’t think about the interest rates or how long I would be paying for, I just thought about the weekly price and that it seemed affordable.”
Over the following years, Gemma also bought a TV, stereo, sofa, PlayStation 4, another fridge and two more tumble dryers.
At one point she was paying out £56 a week for her products – it was a major chunk of the weekly budget for the stay-at-home mum-of-four.
It was only last year, when her boyfriend moved in and they decided to clear some of their debt, that Gemma looked at all of her old agreements.
She said: “It was the first time I had actually looked at how much I was paying for each item – it was at least double what they would cost if I’d been able to buy the products outright.”
Gemma has now cleared all of her debt with the firm after her mum secured a loan to help her pay it off.
The rules, which are still being drawn up by the Financial Conduct Authority, are set to come into place in April next year.
We've featured customers such as the mum who spent six years paying back a £1,000 loan to "keep a roof over her family's head" when she split from her partner in 2012.
And the mum-of-two who was chased by BrightHouse for a washing machine repayment "while in labour".
A cap on payday loans, which was introduced in 2015, has seen the amount of people with unmanageable debts more than halve, according to Citizens Advice.
Citizens Advice claims that the cap would save £62million.
Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: “By 1 April 2019, it will have been 853 days since the FCA launched its high-cost credit review.
"Until a cap is introduced, consumers will continue to pay over the odds for these high-interest products.
“Caps can work, we’ve seen this with payday loans where thousands of consumers have been protected by the FCA and are now better off as a result.
“The FCA has recognised the massive harm caused by the high interest rates on tempting rent-to-own deals.
"It should now stick to its own deadline to implement a cap.
"No one should have to pay more than double what they borrow.”
In March, the FCA announced that it was considering putting a cap on rent-to-own products.
As part of these new rules, banks could be banned from charging extra for unarranged overdrafts, saving customers up to £140million per year.
MPs from all parties welcomed the success of The Sun’s "excellent campaign", and credited this website for the encouraging the FCA to finally take action high cost credit.
Complaints about high-cost credit, including rent-to-own firms and doorstep lenders, have soared to their highest-ever level this year - an increase of 40 per cent, according to new figures from the Financial Ombudsman Service.
MOST READ IN MONEY
A spokesperson from BrightHouse said: BrightHouse provides a unique way for those on low incomes, who are often excluded from mainstream credit, to get the everyday things many take for granted.
"In total, 95 per cent our agreements already fall within the suggested cap of the customer not paying back more than twice the credit taken. We will continue to engage with regulatory and advisory bodies on this matter.”
A spokesperson from PerfectHome said that since May when the FCA announced a possibility of a cap the firm has engaged in the FCA’s assessment and consultation processes.
“As an FCA authorised rent-to-own business we will work within the FCA’s regulatory framework at all times”

This is Volume 4 in Barry Douglas’s monumental project to record the complete works for solo piano by Johannes Brahms. Each volume has been released to critical acclaim, the first one, in 2012, being seen by BBC Music as ‘a triumph of Brahmsian thought, with playing that gets right to the heart of the composer’. Once again, the album is presented as a stand-alone recital, prominently featuring the C major Sonata, which was Brahms’s first published work. The influence on Brahms of his early romantic predecessors Beethoven and Schubert is obvious here, not only in the virtuoso demands on the performer but also in the opening, which recalls both Beethoven’s ‘Hammerklavier’ Sonata, Op. 106 and Schubert’s ‘Wanderer’ Fantasy.
This album is the penultimate in what BBC Music has described as a ‘triumph of Brahmsian thought’, namely the survey by Barry Douglas of the composer’s complete works for solo piano. Three years after the release of Volume 1, the winner of the 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition is now performing this repertoire in the finest international venues, such as the Wigmore Hall in July 2015 and Concertgebouw in 2016, when the series will come to a highly anticipated climax with the final volume. Taking a big step further in his career with this achievement, Barry Douglas is gaining a reputation of one of the few accomplished world-class piano virtuosi of the romantic repertoire.
Barry Douglas returns for the highly anticipated third volume in his series devoted to Brahms’s solo piano music, the first two volumes having been met with widespread critical acclaim. Of Vol. 2, International Record Review wrote, ‘this is indeed Brahms playing of the utmost integrity and authority… this cycle looks set to become a benchmark. The selected Intermezzi performed here come from the collections of short piano pieces which Brahms published in 1892 – 93, his last works for piano. A sense of wistful, melancholic reflection pervades these exquisitely crafted masterpieces of Brahms’s late maturity.
This is Volume 4 in Barry Douglas’s monumental project to record the complete works for solo piano by Johannes Brahms. Each volume has been released to critical acclaim, the first one, in 2012, being seen by BBC Music as ‘a triumph of Brahmsian thought, with playing that gets right to the heart of the composer’.
This is Volume 2 in our series devoted to the works for solo piano by Johannes Brahms, with the acclaimed pianist Barry Douglas. Since winning the Gold Medal at the 1986 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow, Douglas has established a major international career, and his reputation as a pianist and conductor continues to grow.
This is Volume 1 in a new series devoted to the Works for Solo Piano by Johannes Brahms, starting with a selection of highly personal collections of Capriccios, Intermezzi, Ballades, a Romance, and Rhapsodies.
Violinist Vaughan Jones brings us a fascinating collection of 18th century solo works. Three hundred years after their first publication, Austrian composer Johann Joseph Vilsmayr's Six Partitas for Solo Violin are recorded here in their entirety for the first time. Johann Georg Pisendel was a famous Baroque violinist and composer. His fiendishly difficult Violin Sonata is an unpredictable, tempestuous and capricious work, showing great scope and ambition. To round out the recording, Jones plays the famous Passacaglia by Biber - a somber, moving work and a perfect end to this noteworthy set.

Officials at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport say they are working on reuniting many passengers with their baggage.
Several travelers were forced to leave yesterday without their bags and were told to move essential items to their carry-ons.
December 26th is one of the busiest travel days of the year, and it appears the baggage system at MSY was completely overwhelmed by the amount of luggage coming across at one time.
The airport released a statement saying it is working with the contractor who built the baggage handling system to correct the issue.

Panzano in Chianti – located midway between Florence & Siena
A very well kept secret and one which must be visited when staying in Panzano in Chianti is the small hamlet of Lamole. From some of our properties, it is within walking distance but otherwise a short drive. Lamole has a wonderful restaurant ‘Il Ristoro di Lamole’ which has great reviews and must be visited for a relaxing lunch or dinner offering simple but elegant Italian cuisine. From the terrace, the famous towers of San Gimignano can be seen in the distance. View Villas in Tuscany for Rent
The very special annual wine Festival ‘Vino al Vino’ takes place in Panzano in Chianti. Smaller than the annual wine festival in Chianti (Chianti Classico Expo), this takes place mid-September. It is a much smaller affair with a more intimate atmosphere where about 21 wineries offer their wine and olive oil. There is lovely food on sale along with living Jazz on the Saturday & Sunday evening from 6-8pm.
Panzano is also a ‘meat lovers’ paradise with several informal restaurants around the square run by the local butcher ‘Dario’ who has also carved out a name for himself in the restaurant business. It is certainly not for the faint-hearted with so much meat on the menu, but it is a great place to sit side by side with locals and enjoy a slow, relaxing meal, where your wine glass is never empty!! Be prepared to sit back and enjoy! Antica Macelleria Cecchini is the name to look out for!!
Whilst staying in this area there are many interesting and unique places to visit which can be reached by car and ideal for a day trip. Castellini in Chianti where you will find the best ice cream,
Monteriggioni, a quaint medieval walled town to wander around, find a local restaurant for a long, lazy lunch, highly recommended are Il Ceppo for a traditional and delicious Tuscan experience with the menu on a chalkboard or La Bettola Dei Vinandri for the best pizza and antipasti in town!!.
Poggibonsi is also well worth a visit, here, for the more energetic you can experience a wine and bike tour for the day which includes a guide who will take you on bike trails according to your ability. He will also take you to a lovely restaurant for lunch (by car) and then return you to the bike trail for the downhill homeward journey, a fabulous day out!
The area of Arezzo has many places of interest to visit, restaurants well worth a visit include Castello di Valenzano in Subbiano, a restaurant within the castle offering delightful Tuscan cuisine with good wine and excellent service.
In Arezzo itself, you must visit the Piazza Grande (also known as “Little Siena” due to its close resemblance to the Piazza del Campo in Siena). Here you can join in with the evening Passagiata before choosing one of the many restaurants overlooking the square or located just off the square. By day it is a lovely square with two historic churches, an interesting place to spend some time sightseeing and to enjoy Italian hospitality at its best! Set on the top of a hill in the middle of this medieval town is the magnificent cathedral Duomo San Donato, with wonderful frescoes and stained glass and if you are lucky enough you may get to see a wedding procession arrive.
To the north of the region there is Bibbiena and Poppi, both well worth a visit – in Bibbiena, not to be missed but also not easy to find is what can only be described as ‘slow food at its best’ at the restaurant Tirabuscio which sits just in front of a little theatre Dovizi in the old town of Bibbiena. The owner prepares and serves a delicious assortment of pasta dishes and the Salumi and affettati are of top quality. A small establishment, but one not to be missed if you are visiting this area.

Letter From a Troubled Friend
I am sitting down.
I've been sitting on the same couch for three hours. Unable to get up, and with the same thoughts tormenting me.
“It's such a beautiful day,” Mom says, looking at the window.
It's always night in my mind. I've become friends with the moon and the stars.
My legs are numb and I know there is something terribly wrong with me.
Since I am sitting down, I decide to distract myself with the internet.
“How do I stop the thoughts?”
Drink tea. Go for a walk. Meet up with friends.
This is too funny.
Depression will make you happier. Depression will make you truly appreciate love. Depression will help you understand so much about the world.
I had never ever seen depression being used in a positive light.
I click on the website.
Meditation has been used by ancients as a way to heal the mind and body.
I put my phone down.
I close my eyes and sit criss cross applesauce.
All of the nasty thoughts surface. Instead of pushing them away, I accept them. As I do this, I begin to feel light. I begin to see shapes and focus on them.
When I open my eyes, my legs no longer feel numb.
I walk to the kitchen and make myself some tea.A big accomplishment for me.

Quad Cities Deli Now Serving Soup Flights
Café Express Deli in Davenport announced yesterday that they are now serving flights, but not the type you'd get at a brewery or winery.
Taking the same concept of rather than one big serving, you get smaller servings of multiple flavors, this deli is now serving flights of soup.
Soup flights from Café Express consists of your choice at three soups. Yesterday's options included:
- Matzah Ball
- Chicken Noodle
- Vegetable Beef
- Cheesy Broccoli
Lena, owner of Café Express Deli says she plans to rotate the soups as much as possible, adding in other soups like chili and their popular stuffed pepper soup.
The concept of the soup flights will be carried through winter, so you'll have plenty of time to stop by and try out this fantastic new idea.

The shallow waters, intertidal mudflats and marshes along the Sea Scheldt have an important ecological value. They form a habitat for the development of ecosystems. A good understanding of the impact of human interventions on the estuarine ecosystem is required to manage the river in a sustainable way.
A calibration of the NEVLA model of the Scheldt estuary – including all tributaries which are tidally influenced – was executed in (Maximova et al., 2009). The water movement on the intertidal areas was not analyzed during the calibration because it is has a limited effect on the general water movement in the estuary. However, a good reproduction of the velocity in the littoral zone is necessary to answer ecological questions. The intertidal areas Notelaer and Ballooi were chosen as a pilot study in the framework of the project “Vervolgstudie inventarisatie en historische analyse van slikken en schorren in de Zeeschelde”. These areas are located between Rupelmonde and Temse. Both zones are ecologically valuable areas of the Upper Sea Scheldt.
Since the grid resolution of the calibrated NEVLA model is too rough to represent the water movement in the intertidal areas correctly, it was necessary to refine the model grid. Delft3D model with the domain decomposition was used for the analysis. The input files from the calibrated NEVLA model were adapted for the use in the Delft 3D software.
This report describes the sensitivity analysis, model calibration and validation. The calibration and validation were based on comparison with ADCP and GPS float measurements of 10 and 11 June 2009.

Charity regulator looks into Abramovich’s plan for Chelsea
Feb 28, 2022, 3:05 PM | Updated: Mar 1, 2022, 1:22 pm
(AP Photo/Matt Dunham, File)
LONDON (AP) — Roman Abramovich’s attempt to shift the “stewardship and care” of Chelsea to the Premier League club’s foundation has sparked the trustees to report the move to the British body overseeing charities.
The unexpected announcement from the Chelsea owner, which lacked full clarity, was issued on Saturday following calls for him to be targeted by British sanctions regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and to sell the club.
The Charity Commission, which regulates the Chelsea Foundation, has received a “serious incident report” from its trustees amid concerns about how Abramovich’s plan can be enacted.
The foundation’s chairman is Bruce Buck, who has also chaired Chelsea for most of the 19 years the Russian oligarch has owned the west London club. Beyond women’s team manager Emma Hayes and director of finance Paul Ramos, the trustees with more separation from the club are British Olympic Association chairman Hugh Robertson, lawyer John Devine and anti-discrimination leader Piara Powar, the executive director of the FARE network.
The Charity Commission is seeking further information from them about the running of the club and the foundation.
“We have contacted the charity seeking information,” the commission said, “and, in line with our guidance, the charity has also made a report to the commission.”
Chris Bryant, a legislator in Britain’s opposition Labour Party, has been urging Abramovich to sell Chelsea over the last week. Bryant accused Abramovich in the House of Commons last week of having “links to the Russian state and his public association with corrupt activity and practices.”
In a fresh intervention on Abramovich on Tuesday, Bryant told Parliament: “I think he’s terrified of being sanctioned, which is why he’s already going to sell his home tomorrow, and sell another flat as well. My anxiety is that we are taking too long about these things.”
Bryant also raised concerns about another Premier League club, Everton, which had funding via sponsorship from a company owned by Alisher Usmanov, the Russian metals tycoon who has been sanctioned by the European Union.
“Everton should certainly be cutting ties with him already,” Bryant said.
British Home Secretary Priti Patel responded by saying that broadly “there is a lot of detailed work taking place on sanctions.”
Abramovich has provided no indication that he is going to sell Chelsea, nor what exactly it means to be giving “stewardship and care” of the club to trustees who he said are “in the best position to look after the interests of the club, players, staff, and fans.”
The trustees have not publicly accepted Abramovich’s plan. Chelsea itself has also issued no comment, beyond remarks from manager Thomas Tuchel that indicated little difference to the running of the club led by director Marina Granovskaia, a long-standing associate of Abramovich, and technical director Petr Cech, the former goalkeeper.
“We try to be calm here, we are calm in the center of a storm, of some noise around us that we cannot control and we are not responsible for,” Tuchel said during a heated news conference. “For me as a coach and in charge of the first team that decision (by Abramovich) does not change too much the daily business.”
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was challenged on Tuesday during a visit to Poland about Abramovich.
“You are talking about more sanctions prime minister,” said Daria Kaleniuk, executive director of the Anti-Corruption Action Centre, a Ukrainian civil society organization, “but Roman Abramovich is not sanctioned, he’s in London, his children are not in the bombardments, his children are there in London.”
There was no specific response by Johnson.
Abramovich has yet to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for launching the invasion of Ukraine.
“Every right thinking person should denounce what Putin has done,” British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab said when asked about Abramovich.

The Obesity Epidemic worldwide is constantly escalating
In an article on ScienceNews.org, author McKenzie Prillaman speaks about how the Lancet recently published an analysis highlighting the concerning escalation of global obesity rates. The study, led by global health researcher Majid Ezzati and colleagues, involved an examination of over 3,600 population-based studies conducted across nearly 200 countries and territories, covering a participant pool of 222 million individuals. The results indicate that as of 2022, more than 1 billion people worldwide are grappling with obesity, constituting approximately one-eighth of the global population. This stark figure represents a significant uptick from the almost 800 million reported in 2016 by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Obesity, defined as the presence of excess body fat that adversely affects health, poses substantial risks such as an increased likelihood of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, susceptibility to diseases like COVID-19, and negative impacts on mental health and mobility. The study found that in 2022, nearly 900 million adults globally had a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above, categorizing them as obese. Additionally, an estimated 160 million children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 were identified as having obesity based on BMI metrics derived from the WHO’s growth reference curves.
An alarming trend revealed by the analysis is the substantial increase in obesity rates from 1990 to 2022. During this period, obesity prevalence approximately doubled in women, tripled in men, and quadrupled in children and adolescents. Simultaneously, global rates of individuals being underweight saw a decline. Ezzati emphasizes the need to view underweight and obesity as interconnected issues due to the rapid transition between the two.
While there have been promising developments in anti-obesity medications like Wegovy, which have shown remarkable results, their high costs and limited incorporation into worldwide medical guidance pose accessibility challenges for the majority of people identifies a major driver behind the surge in obesity as limited access to and the unaffordability of healthy foods. Obesity expert Arya Sharma, not involved in the study, adds that broader societal-level lifestyle changes, including reduced sleep, increased stress levels, and less time spent at home, contribute to a shift towards consuming more processed foods and overeating.
In light of these findings, the study underscores the urgency for governments and societies to address the obesity epidemic through a combination of preventive measures and improved medical care. The complex interplay between biology and environmental changes, particularly in relation to appetite, emphasizes the multifaceted nature of combating this global health challenge.
