Equities remain in retreat as inflation concerns persist
After last week’s roller-coaster, equities have started the week on the back foot amid continued inflation concerns, as the G7 leaders committed to ban Russian oil imports and the latest Chinese trade numbers illustrated the hit to activity from ongoing lockdowns. Japan’s TOPIX closed down just shy of 2.0% as wages declined again in real terms, while China’s CSI300 fell about 1% as Premier Li Keqiang flagged concerns about the labour market. US stock futures currently down a little less than 1% with European equivalents not much better.
Bond yields up again at the long end, shorter-dated yields largely down on risk aversion
Longer-dated UST yields up a little further at the long end (10Y up 1½bps to 3.14%) but lower at the short end (down 2bps to 2.71%) on risk aversion. Bunds doing likewise, but BTPs weaker across the curve despite ECB President Lagarde downplaying stagflation concerns in a weekend interview. In the Asia-Pacific, 10Y Aussie govvies were up almost 10bps to 3.56% while 10Y JGBs were steady just below the YCC ceiling at 0.24%.
Japanese real wages fall as underlying nominal pay moderates in March
Japanese labour earnings data came in a touch firmer than expected, with total wage growth unchanged at 1.2%Y/Y wages, the joint-strongest since May 2021. But this reflected stronger special bonus payments (10.4%Y/Y), while overtime earnings growth moderating (-2.4ppts to 2.5%Y/Y) to the softest for five months, and regular wage growth easing to 0.5%Y/Y, a three-month low. Adjusting for prices, real wage growth returned to negative territory (-0.2%Y/Y), while real regular wage growth (-0.8%Y/Y) recorded the fifth negative reading out of the past six months and the largest since September 2020.
Chinese trade hit by Covid restrictions, implying ongoing damage to global supply chains
Chinese exports slowed sharply last month as pandemic-related restrictions constrained output and impeded trade flows. In dollar terms, export values slowed 10.8ppts in April to just 3.9%Y/Y, a touch firmer than expected but still the softest since June 2020, suggesting ongoing disruption to global supply chains. Imports continued to flat-line, unchanged from a year earlier having been down 0.1%Y/Y in March. Given rising prices, the data imply significant declines in trade flows in volume terms. But with exports again faring better than imports, China’s trade surplus rose for a second successive month, up $3.7bn to $51.1bn, and more than $10bn higher than a year earlier. Exports to the US slowed 13ppts to be up 9.4%Y/Y. But shipments fell sharply to Hong Kong (-15.7%Y/Y), Japan (-9.4%Y/Y), Germany (-15.4%Y/Y) and the UK (-15.4%Y/Y). In CNY terms, export growth was softer-than-expected at 1.9%Y/Y with imports down 2.0%Y/Y.
Look to the week ahead:
Japanese spending in March likely boosted by lifting of restrictions
Looking ahead, the MIC’s household expenditure survey (tomorrow) and BoJ’s consumption activity index (Wednesday) might well receive a boost in March from the increased opportunities to spend on services following the relaxation of restrictions that month. But they will remain consistent with a contraction in household consumption in Q1. April’s economy watchers survey (Thursday) should point to further improvement in conditions in services at the start of Q2 but manufacturers likely less buoyant.
Chinese inflation set to remain low by international comparison on sluggish demand
China’s inflation (Wednesday) is expected to have edged higher as the recent drag from food price inflation eased somewhat. But inflation of non-food items is likely to remain sluggish as demand was weakened by renewed lockdowns. Headline CPI rate forecast to have risen 0.3ppt to 1.8%Y/Y, still low by international comparison, with PPI inflation expected to ease 0.5ppts to 7.8%Y/Y.
Euro area IP set to have declined in March at sharpest pace since the first Covid-19 wave
In the euro area, aggregate industrial production figures for March (Friday) are likely to report the steepest monthly drop in output (-2.0%M/M) since April 2020, underpinned by a marked decline in German production. This would still leave IP up a solid 1.0%Q/Q in Q1. Equivalent numbers from Ireland (today), Italy and the Netherlands (tomorrow) will offer further guidance. Euro area Sentix investor survey for May also due today.
Despite firm UK GDP growth in Q1, March data will be weak and deterioration lies ahead
In the UK, Thursday’s Q1 GDP report is expected to reveal only a modest easing in the pace of growth to 1.0%Q/Q from 1.3%Q/Q in Q4 as consumption was boosted by increased opportunities to spend on services. But we expect the monthly profile to report no growth whatsoever in March, following growth of just 0.1%M/M in February. And tomorrow’s BRC retail sales monitor seems bound to flag a significant hit to consumer spending at the start of Q2 as household real incomes fall sharply.
US CPI inflation to ease slightly from March’s four-decade high
All eyes in the US will be on April’s CPI and PPI inflation reports (Wednesday and Thursday respectively). Despite still rising food prices, given an easing in energy price pressures, Daiwa America’s research team expects consumer prices to have increased just 0.2%M/M (vs 1.2%M/M in March). This would leave the headline CPI rate down 0.4ppt on the month, albeit to a still-hefty 8.1%Y/Y. With prices of used cars and hotel stays also likely to have peaked, core inflation is also expected to have eased by around ½ppt from 6.5%Y/Y previously.
Plenty of central bank policy-makers in action
Plenty of policy-makers from the major central banks are in action this week, including BoE external MPC member Michael Saunders – who last week voted for a 50bps hike in Bank Rate – today to discuss current monetary policy challenges at the Resolution Foundation. ECB President Lagarde – among lots of other Governing Council members – is scheduled to speak mid-week. NY Fed President Williams kicks off the flow of Fed-speak tomorrow.

As media channels continue to evolve, it can be hard to identify the most effective environment to show off what your brand is doing and connect with customers. The greatest video of all time may only be seen by a few hundred people if it’s relegated to a brand’s website and social feed. [inlinetweet prefix=”” tweeter=”” suffix=””]Putting a paid media strategy behind your video is one of the best ways to amplify reach and increase brand awareness[/inlinetweet]. Now the question is, how?
To get you started, I’ve boiled down the most effective ways to leverage YouTube’s environment:
1. Provide value to the “how-to” searchers
Searches related to “how to” on Youtube are growing 70% year over year, with more than 100M hours of how-to content watched in North America so far this year.
If your brand has expertise in a specific vertical, YouTube is the perfect place to showcase content that assists prospective customers in their educational pursuits. This type of video builds a perception of reliability and goodwill for your organization.
If your brand possesses valuable content to provide this type of support, a good place to start is Google Trends or Keyword Tool. These platforms will help you identify what people are interested in learning and opportunities to connect with them via category or search terms.
2. Leverage interest of popular shows and music
Watch time of TV channels on YouTube grew 50% in 2017. During prime-time hours of an average day in the U.S., more 18–49 year olds visit YouTube than any TV network on mobile alone.
Pop culture has a strong hold on Millenials and the Gen Z population, and YouTube is where they spend their time ingesting it. Advertising on YouTube gives you the ability to target certain channels, topics or interests. If reach and frequency are what you are looking for, YouTube provides it at scale.
3. Gain visibility during viral and trending moments
Kiki, do you love me? Do those lyrics ring a bell? If you missed the #InMyFeelingsChallenge craze, let me fill you in. Aside from being the first album to reach more than a billion streams in a week, Drake’s Scorpion encouraged hundreds of people to participate in a shareable dance all over the world. Viral trends tend to last a few weeks at most, but Drake’s YouTube video has racked up more than 57 million views since its release on August 2, 2018.
By harnessing the buzz of platforms that see huge spikes in user participation (like YouTube), your placements can achieve a high frequency during targeted periods. Can you imagine how your brand would take advantage of those 57 million eyeballs over the past eight days?
If you’re not sold by now, I’ll leave you with a few final words that speak to my media buyer, results-driven heart:
And who doesn’t want all that?


ANC bigwigs unhappy with small town's harmony
ANC branch secretary appeals to Jesse Duarte to intervene in the Kannaland municipality coalition saga
An ANC branch secretary in a small town in the Western Cape has appealed to Luthuli House to intervene in Kannaland municipality where their mayor is happily working with the DA in the only such coalition in the country.
Both the ANC and the DA in the Karoo town of Kannaland went rogue after the 2016 local government elections, forming a coalition without the permission of their mother bodies.
Now Eugene Ludicks, a branch secretary of the ANC in Kannaland, has appealed to ANC deputy secretary general Jesse Duarte, asking her to intervene in the saga that has despite repeated attempts not been resolved.Ludicks said the ANC Western Cape provincial executive committee (PEC) had instructed ANC mayor Magdalene Barry and her deputy, Phillips Antonie, in May to quit – but nothing of the sort is happening.
“We respectfully ask [Duarte to] request written reasons from the PEC Western Cape as to the reasons why no implementation is taking place, [regarding] the decision taken by the PEC,” Ludicks said in a letter addressed to Duarte.
ANC Western Cape provincial secretary Faiez Jacobs said the party expected the pair to resign.
“We have communicated that decision to the affected councillors [and] they have agreed that there will be a process; a timeframe for them to get out of that coalition,” said Jacobs.
He said the ANC had sent a team to Kannaland to “manage the exit”.
But Barry and Antonie are staying put, saying they know nothing of this request to quit.“I don’t know anything about that,” Barry, the mayor, said on Friday.
Antonie, the deputy mayor, lashed out at Ludicks, the ANC branch secretary, for writing to Duarte.
“That guy who wrote that letter, he is out of line. I don’t think it’s necessary to answer to that because it is not for the PEC to decide we have to resign because it is the people on the ground who voted for us,” he said.
Antonie also claimed that Jacobs wrote the letter asking them to step down without a mandate from the PEC.
“We went to Cape Town to meet the PEC and they know nothing about that, so end of story.”
ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In 2016, the ANC won 21.51% of the vote in Kannaland, the DA 27.52% and Icosa (Independent Civic Organisation of SA) 48.14%, according to a BusinessLive report.
Local newspaper Die Hoorn reported last year that Kannaland ANC councillors did not want to form a coalition with Icosa, despite that being the wish of the provincial ANC.
EWN reported last year that, although the DA initially wanted to discipline its Kannaland members, it had since decided it would allow its councillors to side with the ANC.
This after a forensic report accused the previous mayor, Jeffrey Donson, of Icosa, of fraud and corruption.
DA local government spokesperson Masizole Mnqasela told EWN a year ago: “We will sort of tolerate it in favour of good governance, in favour of fighting corruption because corruption is the biggest enemy to growth.”
But Donson said: “When we go to an election, people vote for Icosa because they believe us, because we bring the information to them.”
In 2008, Donson was convicted of one count of indecent assault and seven of statutory rape, after he had an affair with a 15-year-old girl while he was Kannaland mayor.

In the Jack's heroes department a new face emerges this week, rightfully joining the likes of Kenny Powers, "The Barefoot Bandit," Gene Cox, Sam J.T. Moore and Don Draper — people that I admire and people who have raised the bar of bad assery with their actions. The new face is fellow service-industry worker and Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater.
Mr. Slater, a longtime flight attendant and by most accounts a decent and kind human being, finally lost it on a customer.
From many reports it appears that a JetBlue passenger refused to stay in her seat while the airplane was taxiing to its final gate. While Slater attempted to assist her with an overhead storage bin, one of her bags smashed Slater in the face. The customer then, instead of offering an apology, decided to be even more of a bitch, berating him with a loud, expletive-laced tirade in front of the entire plane.
So here's where Mr. Slater became a legend and cultlike figure to service-industry peons everywhere.
Retreating to the intercom system, Slater made what seems to be his final in-flight announcement. Allegedly he cursed out the rude woman, thanked the other passengers for showing dignity and respect, and walked to the plane's galley to grab a beer. Next — and this is what makes this such a sweeping and grand exit — he deployed the plane's emergency chute, sliding down with his beer in tow. Popping the top on one as he headed across the tarmac to an unlocked gate, he found his car and drove home.
Police arrested him later that day and he was released on $2,500 bail shortly thereafter.
Since his meltdown, public sentiment has fallen sharply in Slater's favor, with 130,000 people (and thousands more every hour) proclaiming their support on Slater's Facebook page. Admirers have even set up a Steven Slater Legal Defense Fund, which has raised thousands of dollars.
Dealing with rude and disrespectful customers is par for the course in the service industry, and if we all went around quitting every time we had to deal with some dick, there'd be no one left to serve your food. But God, haven't we all fantasized about resigning from a job in a blaze of glory?
Stealing the beer and making such a stylish exit via slide is the part that really resonates with this disgruntled bartender. It makes me wonder if I can somehow work a slip 'n' slide into the next time I decide to bid farewell to my employers, with a beer in one hand and a one-fingered salute in the other: Now someone wet down this giant tarp I just unfurled so I can take my leave.
Richmond bartender Jack Lauterback consumes and slings drinks at a number of local establishments. He also writes a surly blog at http://jackgoesforth.blogspot.com. Find him on Twitter @jackgoesforth. Have a question or comment for the bartender? E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org.

Reddit co-founder's death ignites journal access debate/
The suicide of American online activist Aaron Swartz has ignited a debate about the cost of academic journals and access to information.
Swartz, 26, known for his work on RSS and co-founding social news website Reddit, took his life over the weekend.
He was facing charges for allegedly downloading millions of academic journal articles from the subscription-only academic database JSTOR, using a laptop hidden in the basement of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
If convicted, he faced more than 30 years in prison and $1 million in fines.
But his supporters say he was a prodigy, and had no intention of making money from uploading taxpayer-funded research articles.
Alex Holcombe from the University of Sydney, like many academics, is annoyed about how much big international journal publishing companies charge for articles.
He says publishers make a lot of money but do very little, as it is usually taxpayers' money that funds research while academics peer review articles free of charge.
"I don't endorse his tactics, but [it is] just one case where a technological person was working to make research available more cheaply to people," he said.
"The older existing journal has a monopoly on the prestige because they are just so much older and so new journals can't gain enough prestige quickly enough."
Dr Holcombe says as an academic who has chosen to put his research in an expensive journal, he is part of the problem.
"We are trapped in a cycle where it is researchers', like me, choice to publish in them, but many of us feel that we can't do it any other way and still get the next batch of research money to continue," he said.
Many academics are now pushing for a different publishing model, where access to journals is free.
Dr Danny Kingsley is from the Open Access Support Group, a consortium of six universities pushing for open access policies.
"Our two funding bodies here are the National Health Medical Research Council and the Australian Research Council," she said.
"Both have policies that are saying 'if we give you money to do your research, you are required to make a copy of it available for the general public'."
Swartz's family is in shock, but says decisions made by officials in the Massachusetts US Attorney's office and at MIT contributed to his death.
"Aaron's death is not simply a personal tragedy," a family statement said.
"It is the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach."
JSTOR declined to pursue Swartz, after he gave up hard drives containing the downloaded articles.
A protest over his prosecution was held on Sunday afternoon (local time) at MIT in Massachusetts.

How to Take Care of an Indian Blue Purple Dendrobium Orchid
Dendrobium is the second-largest orchid genus, with more than 1,000 species of the flowering plants. This botanical group is native to many areas in the eastern hemisphere, including India. Dendobrium orchids are epiphytes. In the wild, they climb the trunks of trees for physical support without becoming parasitic. The Indian Blue Purple orchid is a Dendrobium hybrid that grows 2 to 3 feet tall and produces flowers 2 ½ inches in diameter. The blooms are dark purple with black-blue tinges. Care for it the way you would care for another domesticated Dendrobium orchid.
- Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need
- Humidifier, as needed
- Orchid fertilizer
- Hand shears
- Grow the Indian Blue Purple orchid in bright but indirect sunlight. Place it by a north-facing window, for instance. Rotate the plant from a south window in spring to an eastern window in the summer as another alternative.
- Place Dendrobium orchids in a room that stays at 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the day and at 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit overnight. Keep a humidifier running in the room if you have to turn the furnace or air conditioner on to control the temperature.
- Irrigate your plant when the soil becomes dry. Pour water until excess runs out of the pot’s drainage holes. Apply an orchid fertilizer at every watering while the plant is putting out shoots and blooms. Reduce fertilization to every third watering when the orchid stops growing. Apply the fertilizer according to the instructions for the product you select.
- Cut faded flowers and yellowing leaves off the plant with hand shears.

Digestion is performed in both the standard and the new histologic FISH techniques. Digestion is required for the probe to gain access to the DNA in the nucleus. The enzyme commonly used in the new FISH technique is pepsin. In the standard FISH technique, it is protease. In general, protease is harsher than pepsin.
To perform the digestion portion of the assay:
- Remove the slides, one at a time, from the wash buffer and tap off any excess buffer.
- Using lintless (absorbent wipe) tissue, carefully wipe around the specimen to remove any remaining liquid and to keep reagents within the prescribed area.
- Organize slides and lay flat on a staining tray.
- Apply 5-8 drops (250 µL) of cold (2-8° C) pepsin to cover the specimen. ALWAYS keep pepsin at 2-8° C.
- Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature (20-25° C). 10 minute incubation will be adequate for most specimens, but the optimal incubation time may depend on fixation and/or the thickness of the specimen. Pepsin treatment is active at room temperature for up to 50 minutes.
- Tap off PEPSIN.
- Soak sections in the diluted wash buffer for 3 minutes at room temperature (20-25° C).
- Replace the diluted wash buffer and soak sections for another 3 minutes.

VIZAG : High-rise residential gated communities seem all set to dominate the Vizag skyline as local and national-level builders are coming up with various such projects in the Port City. Already nearly half-a-dozen such projects are under various stages of development and many more are expected to troop in, say realtors.
According to realty sources, Shriram Properties, Lansum Properties, Indiabulls Group and Aditya Construction Company have already launched projects for gated high rise residential communities. At the same time, a few other city-based firms such as MVV Builders and MK Builders, among others, are expected to launch similar high rise residential gated communities in the near future.
"While apartments of around four or five storeys have gained prominence in the city during the last decade, the next five to six years will see a massive increase in the number of buildings with more than 10 storeys," said real estate
consultant K Ram Kumar (name change). "A majority of the high rise properties will come up in the Madhurawada area due to the projected growth of the IT sector in the Rushikonda IT Hills," he added.
At present, Shriram Properties, Indiabulls and Aditya Construction Company have projects in and around the Madhurawada area, whereas Lansum Properties has ventures in Madhavadhara and Seethammadhara.
Speaking to TOI, T Ravisankar of Shriram Properties said, "The major advantage for consumers is that they have all kinds of facilities available within the gated community. Whether it is a club house or a shopping mall, medical unit or gyms, most of these are included as part of gated communities. This gives customers the advantage of saving on time as well as staying away from traffic as they have everything they need within their immediate neighbourhood."
Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India
(Credai) Vizag chapter chairman
B Raja Srinivas said several players are expected to come up with high-rise residential gated communities in the near future in the city , "If a builder plans the project effectively, he can provide apartments at a lower price as compared to standalone buildings as the land cost gets distributed among a larger number of people while providing various amenities like club house and swimming pool."
He said several players are expected to come up with high rise residential gated communities in the near future in Vizag.
On the downside, realty agent Mohan Babu said the problem with gated communities is that the maintenance charges are higher as they provide a number of facilities. "So while those from the upper income group gravitate towards gated communities, a majority of buyers from the middle income group prefers individual apartments."

Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti state, an election observer group, Yiaga Africa has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security agencies to collaborate in a bid to stop the financial inducement of voters during the poll.
The group who expressed displeasure over the dimension of inducement by various political parties leading to the election noted that Saturday’s election must be protected from being hijacked and determined by politicians with the highest money to induce voters.
The Executive Director of Yiaga, Samson Itodo while speaking with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday commended INEC for its preparation ahead of the election, urging the commission not to fail the people of Ekiti.
He lamented that financial inducement has been identified as a clog in the wheel of the nation’s democracy, calling on the stakeholders especially the security agencies to arrest and prosecute both buyers and sellers of votes during elections.
On the movement of sensitive materials, Itodo explained that the decision of INEC to move the storage at the vault of the Central Bank of Nigeria was a demonstration to protect the sanctity process of conducting an acceptable and credible election.
” We applaud the decision of INEC to refrain from storing sensitive materials at the Central Bank of Nigeria due to allegations of partisanship levelled against the Governor of the CBN. This shift in the protocol for managing the deployment of sensitive materials places a huge responsibility on INEC to ensure the safety and security of sensitive materials as well as effective deployment to LGAs and Registration Centres.

The Calgary Flames have high hopes for T.J. Brodie -- that's why they drafted him, after all -- but he's ahead of where many expected him to be after he was selected in the fourth round (No. 114) at the 2008 Entry Draft.
With a cast of big defensemen already in the Flames' farm system in 2008, the club wanted to add a smooth skating offensive defenseman, and Brodie certainly fit the bill. As a slight 170-pound 17-year-old, the Chatham, Ont., product posted 30 points in 68 games with the Ontario Hockey League's Saginaw Spirit.
It's tough to find gems in the later rounds, but Brodie has the look of a future NHL player. He's currently doing his part to make an impression, along with a cast of other Calgary prospects, at the Young Stars Tournament in Penticton, B.C.
"From the day we drafted him he's improved immensely in all areas," Flames Director of Scouting Tod Button said. "His base strength when we drafted him was his offensive play and his skating. ... That part of his game has gotten better as he has gotten older and more mature, but he's also improved in other areas of the game."
As you can guess, Brodie's point production has climbed as well. Last season, Brodie operated just shy of a point-per-game clip with Saginaw and Barrie (where was traded 19 games into the season). He finished with 49 assists and 56 points in 65 regular-season games, then had 15 points in 17 playoff games with Barrie.
"He has exceeded our expectations in where his is," Button said. "But you know what? Our mandate is to always find players, no matter what round, that can play. Is he ahead of where we thought he might be? Absolutely he is, that's good on the kid. It shows his commitment and his desire, and also that goes back to the scouts that recommended him highly. They saw something in him."
As for when fans in Calgary might witness that special "something" Brodie possesses, neither he nor the club will rule out the possibility of him making the NHL this season, though all signs point to a season with the Abbotsford Heat, the Flames' AHL affiliate.
"It's up to the kid," Button said. "It's how he performs. He's ready to turn pro. We expect him to at least play in the American League this year. (Abbotsford coach) Jimmy Playfair is a tremendous developer of young players, and more so defensemen. I think a guy like T.J. is really going to benefit from Jimmy's tutelage, in all aspects. Aspects that he's really good in, Jimmy will help make them better. In the areas that he's weak in and that he needs to improve to get to the NHL, Jimmy will really help him there."
Brodie said the NHL is the obvious goal, but he's OK with starting in the minors.
"Obviously Calgary would be the No. 1 choice," Brodie said, "but Abbotsford would definitely be a good spot for me, I think. Obviously I'd like to be in the pros and have a new experience, and hopefully get my game a little better.”
There's a crowded stable of highly touted defensemen in Abbotsford already knocking at the Flames' door, including Matt Pelech and John Negrin, but Brodie sees that as a positive.
"It's always good to be pushed," he said. "Knowing that you've got guys like that ahead of you makes you work that much harder to try to be at the same level as them, or even to try to pass them. The only way to look at it is as motivation to work harder."
From an organizational standpoint, Calgary would love to see Brodie add some bulk.
"He definitely has to get stronger," Button said. "He was a slighter kid when we drafted him. It takes time ... I think it's just a matter of age. He'll do it; it's just a matter of when he is able to keep that weight on."
Besides getting bigger and stronger, Brodie knows there are a few other areas of his game he needs to improve.
"My physical game, I've got to get that going better," he said. "I'm a small guy, so battles in the corners, playing the body, one-on-ones, two-on-ones. There's always room for improvement, no matter what area, that's the biggest thing."
With his high-end skill and track record for development, it wouldn't be all that shocking to think Brodie wouldn't arrive in Calgary ahead of schedule.

RT has been given an exclusive look at some international artwork for Paul W.S. Anderson’s latest, Death Race, which arrives in cinemas soon. In the film, ex-con Jensen Ames (Jason Statham) is forced by a nasty prison warden to compete in a high-stakes car race in which killing your opponents is not only encouraged but rewarded.
Inspired by the 1975, Roger Corman-produced Death Race 2000, starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone in one of his earliest big-screen roles, this updated Death Race promises high-octane thrills and violent action.
What do you think of the new artwork? Have your say on the poster and the film in our comment thread below!

Exploring something beyond was till now what Blackberry was focussed on for about two years. But they are back to square with their newly released Blackberry Classic. They tried almost everything that they could do by blending the aged and new models, producing something extraordinarily new and something that is comprehensible. Their quest for being aspirational drives them back to the Classical. This is something out of the box attempt at the present arena of technology. They offer it to be that Smartphone one can trust, with the power one couldn’t imagine.
Classic has its Midas touch of appeal regardless of the time. Same applies to ‘Blackberry Classic’. With the hardy physical QWERTY keyboard they were dare enough to take up the challenge offered upon them by other competitive Mobile companies. The Keyboard and Navigation keys are designed for optimal speed and accuracy. The optical trackpad and below the touchscreen there is a call and hang up button, traces back to the earliest modes by Blackberry. Its similarities with its old model will help the faithful consumers.
Well it was released in Wednesday at New York. Its display is of capacitive touchscreen, with 16M colors and a 3.5inch sized. It possesses 720*720 pixels and protected by a Gorilla Glass 3. Blackberry 10.3.1 is its Operating system and is powered by Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon Chipset. It has the dual core 1.GHz Krait and Adreno 225 GPU. It possesses 16GB internal memory and 2GB RAM along with the card slot of microSD up to 128GB. Blackberry Classic has an amazingly fast and astoundingly charming web browsing to offer. It has a battery of non-removable Li-Ion 2515 mAh and a standby up to 348h or up to 365 h that powers the Smartphone.
When it comes to Camera it has a primary one of 8MP, 3264*2448 pixels featuring autofocus and LED Flash. It also features Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR and Panorama. It offers the video clarity of 1080p at 30fps. This Smarty has the ability to install Android and Blackberry apps.

In Mexico, first-trimester abortion is legal in Mexico City and is available in the public and private sectors. Understanding subsequent contraceptive uptake and method mix among first-trimester abortion clients relative to that of women who deliver a live birth at a health facility could help identify where improvements in care following an obstetric event can be made across the health system.
This article uses a retrospective cohort study to compare uptake of contraception prior to discharge between abortion clients in Mexico City’s public abortion program and postpartum women from urban settings. The two data sources were clinical records of 45,233 abortion clients in Mexico City and information from a population-based survey of 1,289 urban women on their immediate postpartum contraceptive adoption. The primary outcome investigated was receipt of any reversible modern contraceptive method; secondary outcomes were level of method effectiveness and method type. Logistic regression and calculated multivariable probabilities were used to control for the effects of sociodemographic factors across the two data sources.
The adjusted probability of uptake of any reversible modern method of contraception was higher among abortion clients than among postpartum women (67% vs. 48%). However, among all women who had received a contraceptive method, abortion clients had a lower adjusted probability of having received a long-acting reversible contraceptive than did postpartum women (49% vs. 82%) and a higher probability of having received a moderately effective method (38% vs. 13%). The adjusted probability of implant uptake was higher among abortion clients than among postpartum women (9% vs. 3%), while the adjusted probability of IUD uptake was lower (38% vs. 78%).
Women receiving abortions in Mexico City’s public abortion program were more likely than urban postpartum women to receive a reversible modern contraceptive method before leaving the facility. Women should be offered the full range of contraceptive methods after any obstetric event, to help them prevent unintended pregnancy and avoid short interpregnancy intervals.


Thankfully, the news yesterday was that Sir Salman had been taken off his ventilator and was talking as he recovers from being stabbed.
But Friday’s incident is a tragic wake-up call that the battle to protect free speech is ongoing, particularly in the social media age.
It was poignant that this weekend marked the return of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, and the event itself began with a condemnation of the events across the Atlantic.
Director Nick Barley described how the event was being staged as an “act of defiance” in the face of threats and violence against writers.
The festival’s return, he said, was "a defiant moment" against "forces that want to silent us."
And most importantly, he stressed the importance of "listening to each other", adding: "You don't get discourse without disagreement."
"It's not always easy. We won't always find agreement with each other and sometimes we might even feel hurt or surprised by other people's views. But it's essential that we have those conversations right here. And that is the defiant spirit of the book festival.”
This is a lesson we can all learn from.
Being able to agree to disagree, particularly in such a tense political atmosphere as currently is vital, but it is a skill which is increasingly missing in discourse today. Differing points of view are shut down, attacks on policy or opinion quickly become personal, sometimes dangerous.
Social media is responsible for much of that trend of course but treating others with respect, and being seen to be courteous and understanding to those with whom you disagree should not be confined to public debate. It should inform every tweet, Facebook post, and TikTok.
Rushdie has spent his life fighting for free speech. It is on all of us, whether in the media or on social media, to continue to do the same.

The two things can be a bit unrelated, but if we look at how beneficial they are to our mental health, we’ll realize that they’re two sides of the same coin.
Here are the three similarities between painting and traveling:
In this bustling world we live in, stress is an ordinary thing. To say that stress is so common is an understatement. Even toddlers these days get stressed according to psychologists. Good thing painting and traveling can fight stress!
Painting has been known as a therapeutic activity thanks to its healing capability. It can be used to vent out anger and misery, particularly when we speak of spray-painting. Dealing with paint colors can lessen stress, enhance mental health, and boost mood (more of this later). Painting is excellent at releasing the negativity from people and replacing that with optimism.
Traveling is also similar. It’s a stress reliever that we’re all familiar with. Going to other places can “declutter” the mind and help people cope with stress. Traveling makes us forget about the things and the people that cause stress in our lives. It’s an activity that allows us to renew our minds. Speaking of renewing, check out why you should use renewable energy in your workshop in https://www.yoursolarlink.com/blog/5-reasons-you-should-use-renewable-energy-in-your-workshop/. No wonder those who take trips a lot are more satisfied in their love life and profession than those who barely travels in a year. A study also found that people who go to a lot of vacations are less likely to be exhausted, stressed, and depressed.
Traveling and painting can also make you feel accomplished, and when you have that sense of fulfillment, you can be happier in life. These two activities can, therefore, make you more confident as it boosts your self-esteem, makes you independent, and improves your decision-making skills.
The third similarity they have is the ability to extend people’s patience. Painting can be a bit challenging especially if you’re painting a whole room or if you have no experience using a paint sprayer at all. Painting techniques may not be as easy as they sound too. You’ll have to read and practice a lot before you can paint like a professional handyman. Needless to say, you have to be extremely patient if you’re painting.
The same can be said for traveling. You could wait for a few minutes before you’re cleared from airport security and wait for a few hours to reach a new country. There could even be mishaps or unexpected delays along the way. Because of all the waiting that needs to be surpassed, traveling can also be considered a patience extender.
Be that as it may, painting and traveling are still great activities that can improve your overall mental health. They could be a bit stressful, but the amount of fun and joy they bring is far greater than the stress.

The Major Advantages of Guaranteed Rent Scheme to Landlords
One of the major benefits is first payment. One thing with the landlords that use this scheme is that they always get the first payment in their account within 24 hours after signing the rent contract with the property management service providers. Immediately they sign the contract they become the service providers for the period of the contract, and you will not have to wait for the tenants to be found as they will act as the first tenants.
Fixed payments is another advantage that pulls most of the landlords into these schemes. You find that when you are dealing with these schemes the property management service providers will guarantee you a fixed payment of any amount in any location. Like in the property management London scheme, the landlords are assured of monthly payments even if the tenants have not paid rental payments, the property is vacant, or it is let.
Most of the people also prefer these schemes since they charge no fees or commission. When dealing with this scheme, it will be beneficial due to the fact that the property or inventory managers will not be imposing any fee on the tenant on signing the rental agreement with them. Apart from that there are no hidden charges such gas safety of which they can be charged for servicing their gases. You find that a gas safety certificate is supposed to be issued if the engineer installs any gas appliance or upon servicing.
Another benefit that landlords get from these schemes is higher rents. Having taken charge, it will be upon them to decide on how they would like to price the houses. You find that their prices are always high as this helps in boosting the value of your property. As a landlord you will not pay for the fee towards maintenance as they have arranged for EPC service in place to take care of that.
Apart from that, they also conduct regular inspections. Regular inspection is a requirement by the local authority and should be done. Being that they have taken over the landlord services it will be their responsibility to ensure that the property is safe through EPC services and the inputs of the gas engineers. This is a requirement and an inspection certificate will be required by the local authority to make sure that everything is in the right place.
Another thing is that you are not entitled to any bill. It is their responsibility to make sure that you don’t pay anything. They take the full responsibility of paying all the utility bills and council taxes through the services of inventory property managers.

CJ students took to the big stage when they performed in front of family and friends during the annual Picnic with the Pops concert.
The evening kicked off with entertainment from the comedy improv team, Busted Box, and cover band, Monday Night Project. Local food truck vendors C'est Cheese, Rib-N-IT BBQ, and Zombie Dogz provided dinner options for the crowd.
"I was really excited about the food trucks because that's part of our city too. CJ is a big part of this community, so it's great to have an event like this for all the families," said parent, Carrie Hartley.
"I think it's wonderful to have a concert like this," echoed parent Joe Daniels. "It gives the kids a chance to perform, and you never know what opportunities they will have from here."
CJ's band, string ensemble, and choir members opened the concert with the song, Footloose. Other featured groups Hands in Harmony, Age V, and Vega, also shined on the stage with songs including, Awesome God, Eye of the Tiger, and Whenever You Remember. The night concluded with the song, Disney Dazzle!, in honor of performing arts groups traveling to Florida next month to perform at Disney World.
Kathleen Martin, whose son is a senior in the band, commented how the event was a great success. "To end the school year with this concert and great weather outside, it's the perfect way to tie together the whole year. What more could you ask for?"
"I think this concert is a great combination of all the hard work and effort the students have put in the whole year," said performing arts director Debi Schutt. "I think it's a testament to how hard they work and how passionate they are to perform, that this all comes together. I'm very proud to showcase all of them."


Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday slammed Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh over his recent meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and accused him of "reciting the BJP's script" for allegedly linking farmers' agitation to national security. Amarinder has "surrendered" to the BJP after he was summoned to Delhi to be told to "choose between facing the Enforcement Directorate and betraying the farmers", Badal alleged.
On Thursday, Amarinder Singh had made an appeal to the Union home minister and the protesting farmers to find an early resolution to the impasse over the new farm laws, saying the agitation was affecting Punjab's economy and the nation's security. "The choice he (Amarinder) made became clear with the first thing he said as soon as he came out of the meeting with Amit Shah, telling farmers to end their agitation, citing dangers to national security from this peaceful movement," Badal said in a statement here.
The chief minister had clarified that he never called farmers a threat to national security. He said "his remarks were in context of a prolonged stand-off which our hostile neighbours, whom the sons of these very farmers are fighting, can exploit". On Friday, Amarinder Singh also said that he was not scared of the Enforcement Directorate or anyone else.
But Badal alleged that Amarinder Singh's "cowardly surrender" before the ED and Amit Shah may surprise those who take his "hollow bluster and boastfulness" seriously. "Everyone in Delhi knows what happened in that strange meeting held behind the farmers' back," the SAD chief said.
"Instead of telling the Centre to annul the Acts, he shocked the farmers by telling them to withdraw agitation and accept defeat and go home," he claimed. "The brave captain merely recited the script given to him by the BJP high command. He sang it like a parrot," Badal added. Thousands of farmers from the state are now camping at the border of Delhi, demanding the repeal of the Centre' three new farm laws that they say will lead to the phasing out of the minimum support price (MSP) system, which the government denies.

Our love started like a cosmic big bang,
Creating magical space time of happiness,
Deeply bonded, we created gravity of emotions,
As our feelings became dense with thrilling desires,
We wished to form a galaxy for our futuristic dreams,
We were the brightest stars in this story,
Wonderful moments revolved around us,
In a planetary union of gratitude and togetherness!
But stories of love or cosmos are never devoid of tragedy,
We got to know our faults early,while entwined in a long universal dance,
And expectations changed like a fearsome celestial storm,
It started with disagreement that raged like speedy pulsars,
Our differences and fights, sparked brightly like balastic quasars,
While we threw burning asteroids of anger on each other,
Damaging the very trust we once carried, our gravitational affinity declined,
And as we moved farther away from each other,
We took an endeared fraction of ourselves in the process,
Until the shine of our galactic love dimmed to darkness of hatred and disgust,
Don’t judge us still, afterall we weren’t the weakest force,
Yes, we are still together, but as an unified callous blackhole,
Engulfing all the love, joy and valued memories of our cosmic lifetime,
But in a place from which they can never escape,
At least we still live, with remanats of something beautiful we once had,
With little or no hope of a cosmic rebirth!!
From the instant that time began to exist to the end of time at the event horizon. Wonderfully told story of love and life, V! Well done!
Thanks a lot for reading Brad 😊, my apologies for not catching up to your awesome work, I am trying my best to read them and take inspiration. Stay safe my friend, tc

In 2018 a monumental anniversary will take place – the UK will celebrate a century of voting rights for women. Admittedly, they didn’t initially apply to those under 30 but ten years later British women gained full suffrage.
A hundred years down the line there is undeniably still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to gender equality in our country and across the globe. Even so, some truly phenomenal feminist movements and icons are to thank for narrowing the gap. Through their battle to level the playing field they also transformed governmental institutions, making them more progressive.
The European Union is an example of that. Currently, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) plays an important role in protecting women’s rights in the UK. Progressive decisions made by the ECJ mean that, for example, women’s maternity rights are now protected. It also means that in the UK we receive equal pay for work of equal value and that we have the right to protection from discrimination on grounds of pregnancy.
Under the European Protection Order, women who have been victims of abuse at the hands of their partners don't only benefit from protection in the UK, but also in every other Member State as they move or travel across Europe. This is absolutely vital for a country ridden with domestic violence like ours, where the harrowing reality is that on average two women are killed by their current or former partner every week.
In the North East of England, the constituency which I represent in the European Parliament, women are three times more likely to be in part-time work than men. Thankfully, the EU guarantees their access to the same rights as full-time workers. The employment rate for women in this region is below the national average and this figure could fall further once we leave the EU, but we cannot afford for North East women to become even worse off from an already weak position.
Upon leaving the European Union, the UK will no longer be part of the common benchmark for settling any differences of interpretation of this equality legislation, arbitrated by the ECJ. It is therefore important that we not only adopt the legislation, but also find a way to avoid it being undermined by different interpretations of it.
It’s also important to point out that post-Brexit Britain will be driven by a need for greater economic competitiveness against much bigger economies. This could lead to measures such as the exemption of businesses from equality legislation. Without the protection of the ECJ, the government can do this at will.
So what now? What can women in the UK expect once Brexit is done and dusted and we only have our government as a safety net? When equality legislation, once defended by impartial judges, will be subject to the whim of ministers?
On Saturday the annual Labour Party Conference kicks off with its National Women’s Conference and hopefully the above will be a talking point. Brexit will bring unprecedented change in every single aspect of life and work in the UK, but we should not lose sight of the fact that these intrinsic rights that many of us have been born with are the result of centuries of struggle. Put simply: this government must ensure that leaving the European Union will not mean leaving women behind.
In the words of suffragist leader Millicent Fawcett, whose statue will soon be the first statue of a woman created by a female artist for Parliament Square, “courage calls to courage everywhere, and its voice cannot be denied” and it took a lot of it to get to where we are today. Brexit mustn’t undo any of this groundwork.

An Experience that makes you cry, overwhelmed and just on short of words, is what answers a lot of your questions. It brings a lot of certainty in your existence. For me it was the day i saw myself on the big screen.
Tinu menachery had Goosebumps the size of dinosaurs, she felt chills as though surrounded by Dementors, and she cried. Those little salty "pearl" sized transparent liquid fell out her eyes. Inspite of a crowded theater, she knew she was alone in her emotional state. It took her away, in a world of happiness, where a sign board read, that this is your moment, enjoy it as much as possible.
That madras cafe experience, will be with her for the rest of her Life. That experience to have been a part of something so amazingly beautifull, makes her Proud. For someone as tiny as her, its difficult to contain it all. So here she goes screaming, woot wooting and saying Saucesome all over again.

A dog’s stool can tell you a lot about his current health. Consistency, color, contents, and coating – they all play a part in determining if something’s wrong with your pooch. However, one sure sign that your dog is having some health problems are loose, liquid stools and frequent trips to the bathroom, which are all symptoms of diarrhea.
Even though diarrhea itself can be a very dangerous problem if it persists, it can also be a sign of some underlying illness. There are many reasons that cause diarrhea in dogs, and if it’s been more than a day, the safest thing to do is to take your canine to the vet to determine the cause.
Here are 10 of the most common causes of diarrhea in dogs and how you can prevent them:
1. Spoiled Food
Dogs will often pick up things from trash cans or floor and eat them, and that can sometimes lead to stomach issues, including diarrhea. Veterinarians call this “garbage intoxication.” Even though most cases of the upset stomach that are caused by eating spoiled food are mild and will resolve in a day or two, in some cases, depending on the food ingested, it can lead to pancreatitis, which requires immediate veterinary care.
You can prevent your dog from eating spoiled food by keeping your garbage in a can with a lid and keeping an eye on your dog when you go for a walk so he doesn’t ingest anything unusual.
2. Toxic Substances
Frequent diarrhea is the first sign that your dog might have eaten something toxic or poisonous. In most cases, that includes numerous plants like ivy, daffodils, mistletoe, holly, bluebells, or something like wild mushrooms. Substances like sunscreen lotion, cleaning products, chalk, charcoal, human medication and vitamins can also harm your dog. If you suspect that your dog ate some toxic substance, the best thing to do is to get him to the vet.
To prevent these things from happening, keep your plants out of the reach of your dog, and your cleaning products and medications in a cabinet and not in the open.
3. Foreign Objects
Dogs are always curious and that can lead them to eat things that are not digestible at all. Diarrhea and other symptoms of an upset stomach like vomiting, lack of appetite and lethargy can be a clear sign that your pooch has ingested a foreign object that became lodged in his stomach or lower intestines.
This problem can even become life-threatening if you don’t deal with it immediately, and in many cases an operation to remove the foreign object will be necessary. Once again, to prevent this the only thing you can do is to look out for the things that your dog puts in his mouth and to keep small, sharp objects away from him.
4. Dietary Changes
Sudden dietary changes can upset your dog’s stomach and lead to diarrhea. This problem is not serious and doesn’t require veterinary care, but it can be prevented easily. Veterinarians recommend to simply change your dog’s diet gradually, by increasing his new food while decreasing his current food slowly, for at least one week. Continue to observe your dog’s reaction and health during this period.
5. Allergic Reactions
Allergies are a common cause of diarrhea. When a dog has an allergic reaction, his body will try to flush out the allergens and that’s when diarrhea kicks in. Check out if your dog also has runny eyes, itchy and red skin and whether he is sneezing, licking and chewing his paws and scratching, in order to determine whether he has an allergic reaction.
Since allergic reaction can be triggered by numerous things, it is important to work with your vet to determine what caused the reaction. The only way to prevent allergies is only after the reaction occurs and you know what substance you need to keep away from your dog. Sometimes your vet may put your dog on hypoallergenic dog food diet to eliminate the irritant.
6. Medication Side Effects
Some prescription drugs for dogs can cause diarrhea as a side effect. They include Metacam, Meloxicam and Rimadyl, as well as other NMDA receptor blockers and NSAIDs, which are used for pain relief.
Talk about the prescribed medications with your vet and ask him about possible side effects. There are always other options if you believe that your dog is having diarrhea for this reason.
7. Bacterial Infections
Your dog’s diarrhea can also be caused by bacteria from raw or undercooked meats, decaying veggies or meat left sitting out for a long time. Your dog can also get a bacterial infection if he has been kenneled with a dog that already has it, according to AVMA. Diarrhea is one symptom that could indicate the presence of bacteria and you should also check your dog’s stool to see if there is also fresh blood or shiny mucus on it.
If you notice this, then stop feeding your dog raw food. Make sure that all homemade meals are cooked properly or use commercial dry kibble, and try to give him only fresh vegetables in order to stop or prevent further bacterial infection and diarrhea.
8. Irritable Bowel Disease
Irritable bowel disease is a rather common condition both in animals and humans and it occurs when inflammatory cells constantly invade your dog’s stomach and intestines. However, the exact cause of this disease is unknown, which makes prevention nearly impossible. In addition to diarrhea, which is the most common symptom of IBD, you might also notice weight loss. It is necessary to visit your vet for diagnosis and treatment of IBD.
9. Intestinal Parasites
Intestinal parasites are usually found in water sources outdoors, like ponds, puddles and other stagnant water sources; this is known as water intoxication. They are also found in animal stools. If your pooch ate stool or drank contaminated water, it is likely that he came in contact with parasitic cysts, and that is the first step toward parasites living in his intestines. Diarrhea caused by parasites is greasy and with a lot of mucus. It also has a strong odor.
Don’t let your dog drink water from stagnant sources and always keep an eye on him so he doesn’t eat feces. If he gets intestinal parasites, veterinary care is necessary to deal with it.
10. Kidney Disease
Diarrhea is also a common symptom of kidney disease in dogs. In addition to diarrhea, other common signs of this disease include lethargy, weight loss, vomiting, lack of appetite, blood in urine and other urinary problems like increased or decreased urination.
You can decrease the risk of kidney disease by feeding your dog a nutritionally balanced diet, with access to fresh water at all times. Diagnosis of kidney disease is impossible before the symptoms occur, which means that it is really important to take your dog to the vet as soon as you notice them.

If you are currently undergoing a divorce, or you are about to, then it helps to be as prepared as possible for what lies ahead. As it happens, there is so much that you will need to be prepared for, emotionally and practically, that it’s a good idea to make sure you know as much about it as possible as early as possible.
Marriage & Remarriage Category
Intimacy is a big deal. And no, we’re not just talking about sex. Of course, we all know that sex is a healthy part of any relationship. But you can still have sex and lack intimacy in your marriage. By definition, intimacy relates to closeness, togetherness, and a sense of familiarity. In marriage.
Fifty, forty or even thirty years ago, the concept of divorce was still pretty fresh. It was raw. It was like winning the lottery in the worst possible way, by which we mean it was still really rare. Fast-forward to the modern day and half of all marriages end in a courtroom somewhere and, we’ve got to be honest, most are messy.
There’s understandably a significant focus on divorce within this blog, however, if you’ve found someone special and are wanting to pop the question this Valentine’s Day, you’re probably feeling something between excitement and anxiety. See, we often feel a significant amount of pressure to come up with an elaborate and “romantic” way to pop the question that blows our partner away when we are thinking of proposing.
Everyone can face problems when it comes to their marriage. It could be that you have been together for some time and feel like the marriage is breaking down, or perhaps something has gone awry over the years. Of course, some of the obvious causes of marital breakdown would be your partner straying, lying, cheating, etc.
Humans are complex beings. So complex, in fact, that it’s a wonder that any of us can sustain a relationship for a lifetime; but we do. We persevere because the joys of being in a loving union make it all worthwhile. Still, there’s no denying that any marriage has its ups and downs.
The end of a relationship, or the impending end, is rarely going to be a smooth or easy ride for anyone. It’s certainly not fun. But it’s important to remember that it can always get a whole lot worse if you let it. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happens. It’s not some unknown force or a malicious outside party that makes a break-up get nasty.
Just like your relationship with your Ex evolved, and you become closer, it seems this new relationship is heading along the same path. This is when panic starts to set in because your kids are about to become part of a new family.
The internet is packed with articles that suggest there are ‘signs’ that your marriage is over. There are plenty of examples of these articles, but for reference, there’s a good example of the type on http://thestir.cafemom.com/. These frequently-discussed signs are meant to reflect something concrete, some absolute signal that suggests that your marriage is no longer viable as if there are breadcrumbs that you can follow through to the gingerbread house of divorce.
Some people get married too young, and the end up drifting apart ten years down the line. Others are genuinely in love when they get together, but that changes over time. Whatever the reason for your issue, it’s important not [...]
So many times we focus or hear about terrible divorces and custody battles that last forever. In my 18 years of dealing and working with child custody issues, I have run across a few shining examples of parents with the greatest divorces. These parents worked it out, put their kids first, and got along better than most married couples.
After months of fighting, arguing and living an unfulfilling and frustrated life, Dave (not his real name), finally determined his marriage was over. A teacher, he sat in the lounge wondering how he could get out of his unhappy situation. His only way out would force him to dip into his already strained resources.
You’ve put up with so much for so long. You’ve been so unhappy. But today was it. Maybe it was one last argument. Or it could have been the stark, albeit unhappy realization that you just don’t love her and you never will. So you are ready to take that scary step, the one that will affect you, your family and most of your relationships for the rest of your life. So you’ve decided on the only answer: Divorce.
Today is Mother’s Day. (Hi mom!) And for many mom’s across America, it is a slightly sad day. I am talking about those unsung heroes that fly under the radar…the Stepmoms! Those parental helpers and most of the time better parents who assist us dads in parenting, fighting for our kids, negotiating with the Ex, doing homework, and cooking meals in this crazy blended family thing we call… life.
Yes, half of all marriages end in divorce. That stat has been floating around for so long, that its almost part of our cultural fabric. But according the Huffington Post, the nation’s divorce rate has been dropping for years. About 70% of marriages that began in the 1990s reached their 15th anniversary, up from roughly 65% that began in the 70s and 80s.

Kearney, NE. -- The Tri-City Storm has added defenseman Mitchell Miller to its roster ahead of the 2021-2022 season. Miller last skated for the Storm during the 2019-2020 campaign. That season, he was named the USHL’s “Defenseman of the Week” four times and honored as an All-USHL First Team selection.
Miller, 19, of Sylvania, Ohio returns to Tri-City after not playing competitive hockey during the 2020-2021 season. An off- ice incident he was involved in when he was 14 led to Miller being removed from the hockey team at the University of North Dakota last October. In addition, the Arizona Coyotes -- who selected Miller in the 4th round of the 2020 NHL Draft -- renounced their rights to him.
Miller scored eight goals and recorded 25 assists in 44 games for the Storm during the 2019-2020 regular season. He also represented the United States at the 2019 World Junior A Challenge. In addition, Miller represented Team USA at the 2018 World Junior A Challenge, where he and his teammates won a gold medal.
“After careful consideration, the Tri-City Storm has decided to provide Mitchell Miller with an opportunity to resume his amateur hockey career,” Storm President of Hockey Operations and Head Coach Anthony Noreen said. “We know Mitchell very well and we are convinced what happened when he was 14 isn’t indicative of his character or who he is now as a 19-year-old young man.
“Mitchell and the Storm do not minimize what happened five years ago. Bullying and racially offensive remarks are wrong under any circumstance. Mitchell is fully aware of that, he regrets what he did, and is genuinely sorry. He’s grown and matured greatly since then, and we believe in the person that he’s become. We will continue to support and guide Mitchell to ensure his maturation and commitment to helping others continues.”
Since the incident in 2016, Miller has been actively involved in community service initiatives that support anti-bullying efforts, special needs children, disabled athletes, the homeless and the elderly. This season, Miller will be an active leader of the club working with various community service efforts with the Storm organization, as well as participating in a Diversity and Inclusion program for personal and professional improvement, and working with a nationally recognized sports psychologist.
"I'm grateful for the chance to resume my playing career with the Tri-City Storm” said Mitchell Miller. “What I did when I was 14 years old was hurtful to others, and I'm truly sorry for that. I've done a lot of growing up over the past five years, and become a mature person who is respectful of everyone at all times. I pledge to make the most of this opportunity, and be a good person on and off the ice, helping others in as many ways as I can."
Prior to his time with the Storm, Miller was named to the prestigious Hlinka Gretzky Cup tournament roster for USA Hockey in 2018. He registered a point per game during the event. Miller was acquired by the Storm on May 31, 2019 in a trade with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. He appeared in 50 games with the RoughRiders from 2017 to 2019. Miller, who has scored 12 goals and recorded 38 assists in 94 career USHL games, was one of six Storm players selected in the 2020 NHL Draft.
“The USHL has reviewed and vetted the current situation in regards to Mr. Mitchell Miller at great length,” said USHL President and Commissioner Bill Robertson. “We believe Mr. Miller deserves a second chance and opportunity, while also feeling that the Tri-City Storm organization has developed an on-going developmental plan to assist this young man off and on the ice while competing this season in our league. We wish Mr. Miller well this year.”

Too early to assess 2019 wing says Kubica
Robert Kubica says it's too early to assess the effectiveness of the new front wings for 2019.
Several teams, including Williams, were running 2019-spec front wing designs at the post-Hungarian grand prix test this week.
The wings are designed to help boost overtaking from next year.
"It's wider and you can feel that," Polish test driver Kubica said in Budapest.
"But it's too early to have a good opinion about it," he told sport.pl.
"It was a test for our aerodynamic engineers so that they can collect data about how the air flow is affected and so on," said Kubica.
