This information comes from a press release by JPMorgan Chase. To protect your deposit accounts in case of a future bank failure, it's important to compare the announcements of these two failures and learn more.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;"><b>First Republic Bank</b> and SVB: What Sets Them Apart </p><div>On Monday, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. declared that First Republic Bank had officially closed. Despite this, deposit customers of First Republic Bank can still retrieve their funds. The FDIC press release states that "all depositors of First Republic Bank" will now be considered depositors of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and will retain full access to all their deposited funds. Furthermore, the balances of customer accounts will remain insured "up to applicable limits."</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>In many cases, federal insurance is restricted to $250,000. However, in the case of First Republic Bank, JPMorgan Chase will be taking on all deposits, whether insured or not, as mentioned in the JPMorgan Chase press release. <div><br /></div><div>This is in contrast to the announcement of Silicon Valley Bank's closure on March 10, where it was not immediately apparent whether customers with deposits exceeding federal limits could access their funds. Two days later, a joint statement by the FDIC, Treasury, and Federal Reserve declared that "depositors will have access to all their money starting Monday, March 13." </div><div><br /></div><div>The announcement of First Republic Bank provided greater clarity to customers right away.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Tips for Protecting Your Deposits </b></p><div>This announcement will likely be a relief for those affected by the First Republic Bank failure. However, if you have a substantial balance in the bank, you should consider how to safeguard your funds when they exceed $250,000. </div><div><br /></div><div>If your balance is within federal insurance limits, it's essential to ensure that your money is with a financial institution that is federally insured. This could be a large bank with multiple branches, a smaller regional bank, or even an online bank. </div><div><br /></div><div>Aside from banks and credit unions, financial technology companies offer spending and saving apps that accrue interest. These companies usually collaborate with an FDIC-insured bank to hold customer funds. Before opening any account, contact the institution directly to determine whether your funds would be federally insured. </div><div><br /></div><div>Although bank failures are uncommon, they can happen. There have been 564 bank failures since 2001, with three occurring this year, the first since October 2020. As of December 2022, there were around 4,700 FDIC-insured banks. </div><div><br /></div><div>With the closure of <b><i>First Republic Bank</i></b>, former customers will have the chance to maintain a banking relationship with JPMorgan Chase. However, news of First Republic's closure emphasizes the significance of federal insurance for anyone with a checking or savings account.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard set the tone in Game 6 of the game with a pick-six as the AFC held seven Pro Bowl passes and seven interceptions for a lead they would never give up. Here are five takeaways from the game.<p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">What time is the super bowl</h3><p>Defense dominates from the jump. What the <b>Pro Bowl</b> lacks in physicality and urgency, it makes up for in opportunism. In an opening salvo void of hard hits, the flashiest plays still came from defenses, not from offenses. Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes all threw interceptions in the first quarter. Kyler's pick, right into the hands of Darius Leonard, and Mahomes's wayward toss, a gift to Antonio Winfield Jr., were both returned for six; neither man was touched, save for half-hearted slaps. Cousins was stripped off the right side by T.J. Watt on the first play of the second quarter, resulting in a Myles Garrett scoop-and-score. Mac Jones got in on the pick action with his first regulation throw of the day. Wilson then threw another INT to a wide-open Derwin James. To top it off, Mahomes was stripped by Micah Parsons on the final play of the first half. Parsons had said leading up to his first Pro Bowl that he would channel the late Sean Taylor in his aggression in the NFL all-star game. The Cowboys rookie didn't quite level a punter, but he and his fellow defenders, who picked off each Pro Bowl QB at least once, were certainly more inspired than the offensive offensive play on Sunday. (Jeremy Bergman)</p><p>Maxx makes an effort. Hometown hero Maxx Crosby made the most of his Pro Bowl debut Sunday afternoon. The Raiders edge rusher left his feet at the line of scrimmage to bat down three Murray passes in the first two quarters, including one on the first play, setting the tone for the day. Deep in the second quarter, Crosby even logged a sack of Cousins in the red zone, thwarting an NFC scoring effort. Crosby finished his all-star afternoon with five tackles, three for a loss, two sacks, three passes defensed and the game’s Defensive Most Valuable Player accolade. One of the league's feel-good stories, Crosby had a field day in front of his home crowd. (Jeremy Bergman)</p><p>Herbert a highlight. Though Sunday’s exhibition is hardly the stage to accurately grade any all-star, Justin Herbert certainly looked sterling in his Pro Bowl debut. The only quarterback to emerge unscathed without an interception in the first half, Herbert was 7 of 10 for 98 yards and hit Ravens tight end Mark Andrews for a pair of scores before his final toss in the second half was picked off. It’s been five weeks since Herbert and the Chargers’ season came to a bitter end in Las Vegas and he returned to the scene of the crime Sunday and looked like his sensational self, earning Pro Bowl Offensive MVP in the process. Maybe he wasn’t as dazzling as he was back in defeat back in Week 18, but he was certainly a highlight in the AFC’s win. (Grant Gordon)</p><p>Fourth-and-15 flops. Exhibition contests like the Pro Bowl are perfect venues to try out new ideas the Competition Committee is hesitant to adopt. Enter the fourth-and-15 alternative to the kickoff, a rule that allows a scoring team to opt to convert a fourth-and-15 play from its own 25 instead of kicking the ball back to its opponent following the extra point. Suggested and tabled at recent league meetings, it was adopted for experimentation at this year's Pro Bowl. The result? The AFC and NFC went a combined 0 for 8 on these attempts, resulting in short fields for their opponents and increased scoring. (Jeremy Bergman)</p><p>Rookies don’t disappoint. A 15-time Pro Bowler just retired, though he wasn’t at Sunday’s festivities. And though it would be folly to suggest any player could ever follow the accomplishments of Tom Brady, it’s impossible not to wonder and prognosticate what lies ahead for the rookies who made their Pro Bowl debuts Sunday. Brady made the first of his aforementioned 15 all-star games in 2001 – his second season. Following sensational first seasons, the likes of Parsons, Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts, Jones and Steelers running back Najee Harris had their highlights. Parsons, as he’s done since the preseason, commanded notice with eight tackles and a sack. Pitts caught a fourth-quarter TD as the NFC rallied to make things interesting and Jones, who was 12 of 16 for 112 yards and a TD, hooked up with Harris on a fourth-and-2 play for seven yards to salt away the AFC’s win. Just a play prior, Jones rushed for four yards but kept going all the way into the end zone before busting out his best Griddy. Sunday was all about the best of the best (or most of them) having fun, and it’s certainly fun to imagine if any of these first-year phenoms might well have played in the first of their 15 or so Pro Bowls. If nothing less, the future is certainly bright for Chargers offensive lineman Rashawn Slater, another rookie in the game, and the aforementioned quartet.

I knew it was going to be a rollercoaster of a season, given all of the elements that unfold in that first episode.”</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">MADDIE AND CAL REUNITE</h3><p>Despite being at odds in the finale, Serenity’s No. 1 couple is back in action by the end of this premiere and the viewers aren’t the only ones relieved.</p><p>“I was surprised that Cal and Maddie were back together so quickly, but I was delighted for that,” Swisher tells TVLine. “Maddie kind of overreacted [in the finale], so she should probably forgive him for that.”</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">MADDIE VS BILL</h3><p>Maddie and Bill also share a heated exchange in the premiere (“God may be able to forgive you, but I can’t!”), and it’s not the last one they’ll have this season.</p><p>“She is done carrying his burden,” Swisher tells TVLine. “I think everybody has been met with a situation like this in their life when they just ask, ‘Why am I holding so much for this person?’ She has to deal with the fallout of his actions because they share children, but it would be so easy for her to just wash her hands of him and move forward. She can’t be responsible for his choices anymore. She has to make sure that she supports the ones she loves.”</p><p>Without giving too much away, this sentiment becomes especially true as we get closer to the end of Season 2.</p>Zottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16152714641278765885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439281328792690790.post-49410135491446375812022-02-02T20:50:00.002-08:002022-02-02T20:50:38.918-08:00Lunar New Year become a New Federal Holiday<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQz1KUlVIKlP3jFB2IfMR6gKP1Vmls4IDJg9nrm8HY0MVk3zg_d4c9NmpZ7Rjogb06h7LcAbsI0sR9HtIfpTTdMxN5iMN1FsEdFdVisa0kbJSWlf0refjCW5qDlOmp9Q_2WcLlSoEsT_1xy5Pg1-V9ib1nex7JA98du_9qDG5bkmU9_l5ruEn1K7cVRw=s768" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="432" data-original-width="768" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQz1KUlVIKlP3jFB2IfMR6gKP1Vmls4IDJg9nrm8HY0MVk3zg_d4c9NmpZ7Rjogb06h7LcAbsI0sR9HtIfpTTdMxN5iMN1FsEdFdVisa0kbJSWlf0refjCW5qDlOmp9Q_2WcLlSoEsT_1xy5Pg1-V9ib1nex7JA98du_9qDG5bkmU9_l5ruEn1K7cVRw=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Lunar New Year, celebrated by many Asian communities, could become a new federal holiday, according to a bill by Grace Meng, a New York Democrat.</h3><p></p><p>If passed, the new measure would make the Lunar New Year the 12th federal holiday, the first since President Biden signed legislation last year designating Juventus as a federal holiday.</p><p>The Lunar New Year, which began on February 1 of this year, is celebrated by about two-thirds of Asian Americans in China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam.</p><p>As in previous years, Meng Chandra introduced a House resolution recognizing the cultural and historical significance of the New Year.</p><p>"With Asian Americans being the fastest growing population in our country, and with the popularity of the holiday continuing to grow, it makes sense to make Lunar New Year a federal holiday," Meng said.

In the days that followed, he spent time digesting that mindset and preparing for retirement with the next chapter in his life and career, the sources said.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Sources said Tom Brady's decision to retire was based on a number of factors, including family and health. Though less significant, Brady also acknowledged that the Buccaneers are likely to see a significant roster change, sources said.</h4><p>Brady, 44, has insisted for weeks that he never wanted a "farewell season," and many who know him believe he wants to make a decision without too much drama. He will focus on new projects and believes now is the right time to end his playing career, the sources said.</p><p>It is unknown when Brady will formalize his plans to retire, but that move will be made with consideration to not upstage the NFL's postseason games, including the Super Bowl. Brady's company, TB12 Sports, sent a tweet that appeared to confirm his decision but later deleted the post.</p><p>Don Yee, Brady's agent, deferred any comment on the quarterback's future to Brady himself.</p><p>"I understand the advance speculation about Tom's future," Yee said in a statement. "Without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what's being reported, Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy. He knows the realities of the football business and planning calendar as well as anybody, so that should be soon."</p><p>Buccaneers executives and coaches have been bracing for Brady's retirement in recent weeks, recognizing that it was more likely than not that he would hang it up after the season, team sources told ESPN. One source said as recently as this week that "all signs point" to Brady's retiring.</p><p>The Buccaneers hoped to make an emphatic pitch to persuade Brady to play one more year, but Tampa Bay recognizes that that effort is not expected to have an impact and the team is resigned to the challenges that now lie ahead.</p><p>Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians told ESPN's Jenna Laine that Brady had not notified him or the team of his plans to retire. Tom Brady Sr. also told ESPN in a text that "Tommy has made no such determination" regarding his playing future.</p>Zottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16152714641278765885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439281328792690790.post-74722048825707503022022-01-28T19:05:00.000-08:002022-01-28T19:05:01.376-08:0010 People Injured When Pittsburgh Bridge Collapses<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEif2yH0O2WjbSM_1ogzvPwt_BfcuvIqoQspKo1qvlkerBQoogzkCXWaTJoiG8plq1PXTVN0r97-rT25jFNbrIVpKe7RR7ILjAuAuQvLKaqUYP6UOQ42dUMBI9_nE5w717fB_717zy1aq6G2O9O6saRegTL6ST-jdOH_cXohWzaak5p_R_GJNshZZIWYww=s976" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEif2yH0O2WjbSM_1ogzvPwt_BfcuvIqoQspKo1qvlkerBQoogzkCXWaTJoiG8plq1PXTVN0r97-rT25jFNbrIVpKe7RR7ILjAuAuQvLKaqUYP6UOQ42dUMBI9_nE5w717fB_717zy1aq6G2O9O6saRegTL6ST-jdOH_cXohWzaak5p_R_GJNshZZIWYww=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br />At least 10 people were injured when a snow-covered bridge in <b>Pittsburgh collapsed</b> early Friday, just hours before President Biden was due to visit the city to highlight his push to improve infrastructure.<p></p><p>Biden stopped at the crash site Friday afternoon.

He added that the Red Cross had been contacted for "victim assistance".</p><p>At least three of the 10 people who were hurt were taken to the hospital, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety. They said the injuries were not life-threatening.</p><p>Fire Chief Darryl Jones said that there was a "massive gas leak, but that is now under control." The families who had to evacuate have since been allowed to return, according to CBS affiliate KDKA.</p><p>All K-5, K-8, 6-8 and Special Schools will transition to remote learning, Pittsburgh Public Schools said, citing "the impact of a bridge collapse in the East End and a high volume of bus driver call-offs."</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">How the collapse unfolded</h3><p>It is not clear what caused the bridge to collapse. Several cars and a Port Authority bus were involved.</p><p>Port Authority spokesperson Adam Brandolph told NPR that the bus was "nearly at the East side of the bridge" when it began to collapse at around 6:45 a.m. Crews helped get the operator and two passengers off the bus, and none were injured.</p><p>"We are extremely thankful that no one from the bus has reported any injuries, and grateful for the first responders who risked their own lives to save others," Brandolph added.</p>Zottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16152714641278765885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439281328792690790.post-22357088996979880612022-01-27T22:27:00.001-08:002022-01-27T22:27:23.896-08:00Neil Young couldn't remove his music from Spotify by himself<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEggRVjtAy12HYnQVs9t9BsbmM59UPUXOtWuhBddOXlll8YtFOlXRKlVfNk42guyDZDMTflCaPo4NGduwxVtDAPi513rkfspxbgRcneAhw0bg5RH-wT8Esvycje1UguuIfKAq_oUIzaAlkxlgpIdCehmakf7FF9hAujdn1bMUdJo0wbClhPnHFtmHnQIcQ=s976" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEggRVjtAy12HYnQVs9t9BsbmM59UPUXOtWuhBddOXlll8YtFOlXRKlVfNk42guyDZDMTflCaPo4NGduwxVtDAPi513rkfspxbgRcneAhw0bg5RH-wT8Esvycje1UguuIfKAq_oUIzaAlkxlgpIdCehmakf7FF9hAujdn1bMUdJo0wbClhPnHFtmHnQIcQ=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br />Spotify removed all of Neil Young's songs this week at his request, as the musician claimed he chose the platform to keep either his music or the Joe Rogan podcast. The young comedian and the streaming company have been accused of spreading misinformation and anti-vaccination about covid.<p></p><p>Spotify inked a $100 million deal with Rogan in 2020 for exclusive rights to his show The Joe Rogan Experience, the most expensive deal in podcast history. The show has 11 million subscribers and is a massive source of influence and revenue for Spotify. However, Rogan has come under more scrutiny over the past year. Last spring, Spotify removed 42 of Rogan's episodes that featured guests and controversial topics. And earlier this month, 270 Health wrote an open letter to Rogan criticizing him for a history of "spreading misinformation, particularly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic."</p><p>After it became clear that Spotify wouldn't remove Rogan's show, Young made good on his promise, but he couldn't do it alone, he had to ask his record label first.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Who owns Neil Young’s songs?</h3><div style="text-align: left;">Like many artists, Young couldn't download his own music independently from Spotify because he didn't have full control over his licensing rights.</div><p>Young's music licensing rights are with his record company Warner Bros. Reprise Records. Warner Bros. is responsible for lucrative deals with third parties like Spotify that could reproduce Young's work.</p><div style="text-align: left;">“Before I told my friends at Warner Bros about my desire to leave the Spotify platform, I was reminded by my own legal forces that contractually I did not have the control of my music to do that,” Young wrote on his official website Wednesday. “I want to thank my truly great and supportive record company Warner Brothers – Reprise Records, for standing with me in my decision to pull all my music from Spotify.

"Look, I've been reading reports and haven't spoken to anyone from any TV or radio station, maybe that opportunity will arise, but every time I read something that says 'Your turn for this job', i have i am my agent don I'm gonna call [yee] and say, 'Don, did you hear anything? Because I haven't heard anything. And it's okay. I think I want to do it, I think I'm going to do it pretty well. Mr B [late owner Tom Benson] didn't like it either, he kept saying "overpriced retirement". And, to be honest, maybe someday I'll go back to coaching. I don't think it will be this year, I think maybe in the future, but my heart is not there right now. It's not at all. "</p><p>Payton later reiterated his next stop might be TV.</p><p>"I've had some opportunities," he said. "I talked to Drew (Brees) about it a little bit last night. I don't know that part of it that well, but that would be something that would interest me."</p><p>Rapoport reported that Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is considered the leading candidate to replace Payton. Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is also expected to interview, per Rapoport.</p><p>Rapoport reported Sunday that Payton, who had three years remaining on his contract, had not committed to returning to coach New Orleans after an incredibly difficult and challenging season.</p><p>Saints owner Gayle Benson confirmed the uncertainty in New Orleans on Monday when she said "I don't think any of us know" what Payton's future with the team is.</p><p>Now we have the answer, and the arduous 2021 season will go down as his last with the Saints. Payton acknowledged there might be speculation that he'll look to coach elsewhere in 2022 -- he has often been linked to Dallas, where he served as the assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach for three years before arriving in New Orleans -- but that isn't on his radar right now.</p><p>"I felt like 10 years went by and we talked about the other team for a lot, and I get it, I understand it. But no, my plans are not to be coaching in 2022. And that's just how I feel," Payton said.</p><p>Benson, who was in attendance at the news conference, released a statement through the team, professing her gratitude for Payton's contributions to the franchise and the region.</p><p>"On behalf of our entire organization, I have the highest appreciation for what Sean Payton has meant to the New Orleans Saints since 2006," Benson said. "Sean came to New Orleans during what was a difficult time for our organization, as well as the entire Gulf South region following Hurricane Katrina. Under his leadership, Sean helped lead this football team to new heights with easily its most successful period, showing what can be accomplished with a combination of vision, hard work, leadership of his coaching staff and players. We are grateful for everything Sean has given to this organization and this city and I give my best wishes to he and his lovely wife Skylene in the future."</p><p>Payton's time with the once-woeful Saints was nothing short of remarkable. The coach arrived in 2006, coinciding with the franchise's monumental signing of Brees. Together, Payton and Brees turned a club once known as little more than a laughingstock for much of its existence into a perennial contender.</p><p>The turnaround was instant, with Payton's squad winning 10 games in its first season and scoring a Divisional Round win over the Philadelphia Eagles before eventually falling to the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship Game. Payton would get his shot at a title a few years later when he led the Saints to a 13-3 regular-season finish, a first-round bye and two NFC playoff wins -- including a thrilling overtime triumph over Brett Favre's Minnesota Vikings, a game that would later serve as the source of massive controversy -- on the way to the franchise's first and only Super Bowl triumph.</p>Zottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16152714641278765885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439281328792690790.post-81240943521817347952020-09-20T01:54:00.004-07:002020-09-20T01:54:40.533-07:00IOS 14 and iPad 14: Checklist to Prepare to Update Your iPhone and iPad<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uyGvemFitms/X2cYckkSFmI/AAAAAAAAIno/VXSOnYJaby44BcUTU3LYbrrq1GjNxo-FwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/IOS%2B14%2Band%2BiPad%2B14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="704" data-original-width="1280" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uyGvemFitms/X2cYckkSFmI/AAAAAAAAIno/VXSOnYJaby44BcUTU3LYbrrq1GjNxo-FwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IOS%2B14%2Band%2BiPad%2B14.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Apple just released the latest operating systems for your iPhone and iPad but is preparing your devices before installing them.<p></p><p>Apple's iOS 14 and iPad 14 updates for the iPhone (699 euros on Amazon) and iPad (270 euros in the secondary market) are important in order to improve the data protection and iMessage functions of the home screen widgets from the new application library.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before you install iOS 14 and iPad 14, however, there are a few basic things you need to do to keep your iPhone and iPad updated as smoothly as possible.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dtec4ABJIX4/XlHwnojgWmI/AAAAAAAAGz8/SH8qB6zuDLUthoUvLFjihjeecf_6z23qwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/barcelona%2Bvs%2Beibar.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="577" height="195" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dtec4ABJIX4/XlHwnojgWmI/AAAAAAAAGz8/SH8qB6zuDLUthoUvLFjihjeecf_6z23qwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/barcelona%2Bvs%2Beibar.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Lionel Messi scored four goals when Barcelona scored a 5-0 home win over Eibar on Saturday.
<br />
<br />
Barcelona had entered the game after a difficult week after it was reported that the club had hired a company to discredit several players and people associated with the club on social networks to protect President Josep Maria Bartomeu.<br />
<br />
While the club denied these allegations, sources told ESPN that Club Bartomeus adviser Jaume Masferrer had been suspended.
<br />
<br />
However, everything was fine on the field as Messi showed his class with an impressive starter in 14 minutes, while cheating three defenders before showing incredible balance to throw the ball over goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic.
<br />
<br />
Messi added a second after 37 minutes as he ran to Arturo Vidal's pass to crush the ball through Dmitrovic and in the far corner.
<br />
<br />
He completed his hat-trick in 40 minutes while using a loose defense. The Argentine striker tried to hit attacking teammate Antoine Griezmann, but the ball returned to Messi, who took his place.
<br />
<br />
New signing Martin Braithwaite ended up making his debut and had a hand in fourth as his efforts were saved on the way from Messi, but the 32-year-old still took the opportunity to sit around Dmitrovic before joining a network alternated empty three minutes
<br />
<br />
Artur added a fifth in 89 minutes when Barça returned to the top of the table.

Vermont Senator <i>Bernie Sanders</i> won the <b>Nevada Caucuses</b>, according to an Associated Press screening.
<br />
The victory gives Sanders victories in two of the first three states that were involved in the 2020 <i><u>Democratic</u></i> President nomination. His other win was in New Hampshire, and he also ended in a tie near the still confusing Iowa gatherings.<br />
<br />
"In Nevada, we have just formed a multi-generation and racial coalition that will not only win in Nevada but will conquer that country," bragged Sanders shortly after media coverage at a rally in San Antonio, Texas wins Caucus.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ZMaWtmto4A/XlHtKjr-7NI/AAAAAAAAGzU/pHbqJUJAwbwicu4CYm6X8Rl3kk0lDYL9ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/nevada%2Bdemocratic.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="479" data-original-width="792" height="193" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ZMaWtmto4A/XlHtKjr-7NI/AAAAAAAAGzU/pHbqJUJAwbwicu4CYm6X8Rl3kk0lDYL9ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/nevada%2Bdemocratic.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Sanders</u> now has a clear dynamic and an internal advantage in the candidate field and is entering a critical phase in which most of the delegates will be recognized. It is a remarkable position for a lifelong political stranger who has not yet officially joined the Democratic Party.
<br />
<br />
At another campaign event in Texas earlier in the day, Sanders pointed out to respond to critics of the key policy proposal that is pushing his candidacy for Medicare for all.<br />
"The idea of universal health care is not a radical idea!" Sanders insisted.
<br />
<br />
Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, congratulated Sanders on his victory on Saturday, but warned Democrats at an event in Las Vegas what Sanders candidacy could mean for the party's prospects in general elections.
<br />
<br />
"The only way to really achieve the progressive changes that interest us is to be a candidate who really cares about the impact from above," on the House and Senate candidates, the policy changes of making health care and immigration, he said.
<br />
<br />
Buttigieg finished second after Sanders in elementary school in New Hampshire and practically tied him in Iowa, where the results of the caucus are not yet final.
<br />
<br />
"We can prioritize ideological purity or inclusive victory. We can name people online or we can call them to our movement. We can strengthen a tight and hard base or open the tent for a new, broad and generous American. Coalition" Buttigieg argued.
<br />
<br />
While Sanders will head to events in South Carolina, which holds its primary next Saturday, his campaign is more focused on Super Tuesday (March 3), as evidenced by the fact that Sanders spent more time campaigning in California and Texas than in Nevada in recent days.
<br />
<br />
The campaign is betting that the momentum earned by its sustained stretch of early victories, combined with its massive financial war chest funded by small-dollar donations, will give Sanders the edge on a day when about a third of all delegates will be awarded.
<br />
<br />
Former Vice President Joe Biden, speaking to supporters in Nevada before Sanders was projected as the winner Saturday evening, proclaimed he still had time to shake up the primary race with a win in the next contest. Early results showed him running a distant second to Sanders.
<br />
<br />
"The press is ready to declare people dead quickly, but we're alive and we're coming back and we're going to win," Biden said, adding, "We're going to win in South Carolina. Then Super Tuesday, and we are on our way."
<br />
<br />
Nina Turner, Sanders' national co-chair, told NPR that the campaign wasn't ceding the next primary to any other candidate.
<br />
<br />
"We're running in South Carolina to win," she said.

<br />
Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors fight over forward <b>Markieff Morris</b> who declared himself a free agent in the NBA.<br />
<br />
On Friday afternoon, February 21, 2020, forward <i>Markieff Morris</i> and the Detroit Pistons ended their relationship with Morris to make a contract purchase to the team to have the right to sign with any team and be a free agent in the NBA 2020.<br />
<br />
The <b>Los Angeles Lakers</b> and the Toronto <b>Raptors</b> are the only two teams that have shown interest Markieff Morris just hours after this business was announced, this business could contribute many things to any team that acquires Morris, since it is very efficient of both sides of the court in the NBA.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hRYshjY3UGg/XlCsK9quvKI/AAAAAAAAGwo/MuvTTgHQ74EFrxgYORo0wuvS-T54S8FtwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Markieff%2BMorris%2Btwitter.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="508" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hRYshjY3UGg/XlCsK9quvKI/AAAAAAAAGwo/MuvTTgHQ74EFrxgYORo0wuvS-T54S8FtwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Markieff%2BMorris%2Btwitter.JPG" width="312" /></a></div>
<br />
Following Kawhi Leonard's departure from the Raptors, they have remained with a vacuum in the forward position, and Morris could be a great replacement for the Raptors in the NBA.
<br />
<br />
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Lakers need a player of position number 2 or 3 that helps with the defense or can contribute some points in the field for the rest of the season in the <i><u>NBA</u></i>.
<br />
<br />
Markieff Morris is the younger brother of Marcus Morris who is a recent acquisition of the Los Angeles Clippers after leaving the New York Knicks via the NBA.
<br />

More than $ 200,000 has been raised to send <b>Quaden Bayles</b>, a nine-year-old boy from Brisbane, to Disneyland to support a young man who is being abused.
<br />
<br />
<i>Quaden</i>, a boy with a twin and a common form of dwarfism with acandroplasia, said his mother cried in the back seat of his car after being bullied at school. The video went viral after <u><i>Quaden</i></u> mother Yaraka Bayless posted on social media this week.
<br />
<br />
Ms. Bells hopes to raise awareness of the effects of bullying in schools when posting videos.
<br />
<br />
"We are losing way too many people because of bullying, because of discrimination, because of racism. There’s so many factors of bullying," Ms Bayles said at press conference on Friday.
<br />
<br />
"It is the worst nightmare of all parents who have lost their children, and for me it is my daily reality. Because of the treatment and the treatment situation that I was doing, I had to be prepared for the worst. The suicide attempts are very real and that People don't understand that. "
<br />
<br />
"As an incompetent indigenous child, people do not understand that it is a double-edged sword. There is racism and then disability discrimination."
<br />
<br />
The confronting footage made an impression on US comedian Bradley Williams, who also has Achondroplasia and vowed to shower Quaden with joy and send a message to bullies.
<br />
<br />
"I’m setting up this GoFundMe to let Quaden know that bullying will not be tolerated, and that he is a wonderful human being who deserves joy," Williams wrote.
<br />
"I want to fly Quaden and his mother to America, get them a nice hotel, and bring them to Disneyland.
<br />
"This isn’t just for Quaden, this is for anyone who has been bullied in their lives and told they weren’t good enough.
<br />
"Let’s show Quaden and others that there is good in the world and they are worthy of it."
<br />
Williams set an initial goal of $10,000 to cover flights, accommodation, tickets and food, with any additional money to be donated to "anti-bullying/anti-abuse charities".
<br />
<br />
As of Friday evening more than $200,000 had been raised.
<br />
While the immense show of support has moved the family, Ms Bayles said scammers were exploiting the situation and setting up fake fundraising pages.
<br />
"This [Williams' page] is the only legit GoFundMe that we have authorised. We are aware of other fake accounts so please report if you see them. Thanks in advance," she said.
<br />
The video of Quaden strongly resonated with newly signed Rabbitoh Latrell Mitchell.

If you feel a little crazy this morning, you're probably not alone. If there is such a thing that people make watches after being released in the spring, they complain that they are tired.<br />
<br />
Stuart Fogel, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Utah, where he worked in the sleep research lab. You have just lost an hour of sleep.<br />
<br />
“The way that that takes place for most people at least is, they go to bed at their normal time and they change their clocks or their watches just as they go to bed or when they wake up in the morning,” he said. “And they find themselves a little bit sleep-deprived as a result.”<br />
<br />
Now that he is running, it turns out that another person who is in good health when not tired has slow reaction times and is unable to cope with activities that require less concentration.<br />
<br />
“There’s some literature showing that there are increases in accidents, workplace, motor-vehicle accidents and the severity of them is greater following the time change. And there’s research showing that even a small amount of sleep restriction, an hour or two, can have an impact on your ability to drive and things like that.”<br />
<br />
Fogel says this is due in part to your “sleep architecture” – how your sleep progresses throughout the night.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the night, he said, you’re in a deep sleep. “This type of sleep is really important. Growth hormone is released then and it’s very important for physical health and physical restoration.”<br />
<br />
In the second half of the night, you switch to a different kind of sleep. You experience rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is associated with dreaming. You also have spikes in brain activity that are important for learning and memory, as well as mood regulation and cognitive function, he said.<br />
<br />
Getting up an hour early means that you cut into that second stage of sleep, and get less time to go through these mental processes. Although Fogel doesn’t think that losing an hour will affect your memory or mood regulation too much, he does think it will have an effect on your brain.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ds0zEd4VK-E/WqELtZ8CNaI/AAAAAAAAFvo/SoO48W5dyIA7qcm0zEhW43-C-i3BYkacACLcBGAs/s1600/international%2Bwomen%2Bday.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ds0zEd4VK-E/WqELtZ8CNaI/AAAAAAAAFvo/SoO48W5dyIA7qcm0zEhW43-C-i3BYkacACLcBGAs/s320/international%2Bwomen%2Bday.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
On Election Day 2016 it was white, at the Emmys it was dark, and on International Women's Day, which arrives on Thursday, March 8, it'll be purple.<br />
<br />
Purple is the official shade of International Women's Day, established over a century back after exactly 15,000 ladies walked in New York City to request better working conditions and voting rights. The present cycle of the day is planned to commend ladies' social, financial, and political accomplishments and to call for sex uniformity.<br />
<br />
What's more, given the assortment of ways distinctive countries commend the day from walks to social excursions there's not a conspicuous closet decision. The official International Women's Day site, IWD.com, has you secured there. It clarifies why purple is International Women's Day's shade of decision:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Internationally, purple is a color for symbolizing women. Historically, the combination of purple, green and white to symbolize women’s equality originated from the Women’s Social and Political Union in the U.K. in 1908. Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity, but is no longer used due to ‘purity’ being a controversial concept. The introduction of the color yellow representing a ‘new dawn’ is commonly used to signify a second wave of feminism. Thus purple with green represents traditional feminism, purple with yellow represents progressive contemporary feminism.</blockquote>
For a year and a half, women have depended on the color of the dress as a symbol of protest. To celebrate the historic nature of the competition, in 2016 he started voting for warm women in white dresses who interpreted Hillary Clinton as the first candidate for a major political party. The United Kingdom Similar to history, the United States White Election movement was an official color that took place at the beginning of the last century. Clinton's supporters, especially after the candidate's election, participated in the debate of the third and final president of all white pants and watched the # OverVitatovov movement. (On the last night of the Democratic National Convention he wore a white dress).<br />
<br />
In recent months, women have relied on women as an explanation of the protest movement and as an explanation against the offending behavior of men. Hitler's film artist Elite, who was red in the anti-social protests of Hitler with terrorist attacks, was famous at the beginning of January at the Emmy Award.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pz7k-bPanvc/WSwsm9sq5vI/AAAAAAAAFrY/ZsZJi_53Vgo8nq-XJAVqDMyezsPDg-igwCLcB/s1600/Indy%2B500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="720" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pz7k-bPanvc/WSwsm9sq5vI/AAAAAAAAFrY/ZsZJi_53Vgo8nq-XJAVqDMyezsPDg-igwCLcB/s320/Indy%2B500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Takuma Sato's victory saw in the Indianapolis 500. When he tried a last lap pass, Sato lost control of his car, crashed, and Dario Franchitti went on to his third victory in the "biggest spectacle in racing".<br />
In almost the same position five years later, Sato was learned based on lessons learned from the defeat of 2012 and became the first Japanese driver to win the Indianapolis 500.<br />
<br />
"I do feel after 2012 that I really needed to correct something I left over," Sato said. "In 2012, going into Turn 1 with Dario was a big risk. But you always learn something from those situations, and this time we proved we had what it takes."<br />
<br />
With the win for the second time in IndyCar, Sato had Helio Castroneves in the final rounds on Sunday holding the fourth victory of the veteran reject Indianapolis 500. The two exchanged head and Castroneves made a last attempt to make a pass for the victory he can not hold on to ,<br />
<br />
"When Helio came with three rounds in a big load on the round 1, we were side by side," Sato said. "But this time I landed in the right direction and still leads. It was a job, and the last two rounds the car was fine. "<br />
<br />
The victory was the second straight for Andretti Autosport in the Indy 500 and the third in the last four years. A pilot Andretti won the 500 total five times of 2005, with the deceased Dan Wheldon.<br />
<br />
Last year, it was with rookie Alexander Rossi. This time it was with Sato, who joined the team this season and had largely been overlooked at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Andretti camp expanded to six cars for the 500 to add Fernando Alonso, a two-time F1 champion who brought massive European interest to the race.<br />
Six cars never seemed to spread the team too thin, and the main issue facing Andretti Autosport was the reliability of its Honda engines. Alonso put on a thrilling show and even led 27 laps but he was sent to the paddock when his engine blew with 20 laps remaining.<br />
<br />
Still, his race was spectacular and Alonso simply fell victim to his engine late in the race. The crowd gave the Spaniard a standing ovation as he climbed from his car.<br />
"It's a very nice surprise to come here with big names, big guys, the best in open-wheel racing and be competitive," said Alonso, who didn't rule out a return.<br />
"The last two weeks, I came here basically to prove myself, to challenge myself," Alonso added. "I know that I can be as quick as anyone in an F1 car. I didn't know if I can be as quick as anyone in an Indy car."<br />
<br />
The Honda teams had a clear horsepower advantage over Chevrolet, but things were dicey in Indy for more than a week and certainly on race day: Before Alonso's failure, 2014 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay lost his engine and so did Charlie Kimball. Hunter-Reay led 28 laps and was a strong contender late.<br />
Still, Honda had the winning engine at the end and six of the top 10.<br />
"I'm really happy for Honda. They worked really hard to get us here," team owner Michael Andretti said. "I know how big this news is going to be tomorrow when they wake up in Japan. It's going to be huge. I'm really happy for them, that we were able to give them a win with our Japanese driver here."<br />
<br />
In a Chevrolet for Team Penske, Castroneves briefly took the lead but couldn't hold it as Sato grabbed it back. Castroneves was disappointed to fall short of the four-time winners club — particularly since it was his third runner-up finish.<br />
"Being second again sucks, being so close to getting my fourth," Castroneves said. "I'm really trying. I'm not giving up this dream and I know it's going to happen."<br />
Ed Jones finished a career-best third and was followed by Max Chilton and Tony Kanaan, the highest finishers for Chip Ganassi Racing.<br />
<br />
A joyful Sato dumped a bottle of 2 percent milk over his head, received a kiss from the Indy 500 Princess and raised his finger in the air. Andretti ran down pit lane to reach Sato's crew, then rushed to hug his driver. Even Franchitti made his way to victory lane to congratulate Sato, who was eager to see the impact of his win at home in Japan."This is going to be mega big," he predicted. "A lot of the Japanese fans are following the IndyCar Series and many, many flew over for the Indianapolis 500. We showed the great result today and I am very proud of it."</div>

<b>Allman</b> Brothers band founding member <b>Gregg</b>, a terrorist group both in the Southern Rock group, and the movement of inspiration and berries became sbetakanthera movement, died Saturday in his home in sabhenahe. He died at the age of 69.<br />
<br />
Oyainastaina Cain said his publisher, complicating liver cancer reasons.<br />
<br />
The group of singers and keyboard, M. Allman was a tense, blues, jazz, country and rock and connections improvisator principal architects, the Marshall Tucker Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern Rock of the 1970s became the heir of the sahajalabdha.<br />
<br />
Mr. older brother from the top of the group and slide guitar duyanake showed it a generation of popular jam bands was like panic oyaidapreda and fish, whose error exchange bananamulaka music.<br />
<br />
Mr. Allman Hammond B -3 sensitive ad Allman brothers and brother on the album and the other guitarist of the musical bit Dickie grismapurna intaraplese often offers a stylish touch.<br />
<br />
Gregg Allman’s vocals, by turns squalling and brooding, took their cue from the anguished emoting of down-home blues singers like Elmore James, as well as from more sophisticated ones like Bobby Bland. Foremost among Mr. Allman’s influences as a vocalist, though, was the Mississippi-born blues and soul singer and guitarist known as Little Milton.<br />
<br />
“‘Little Milton’ Campbell had the strongest set of pipes I ever heard on a human being,” Mr. Allman wrote in his autobiography, “My Cross to Bear,” written with Alan Light (2012). “That man inspired me all my life to get my voice crisper, get my diaphragm harder, use less air and just spit it out. He taught me to be absolutely sure of every note you hit, and to hit it solid.”<br />
<br />
The band’s main songwriter early on, Mr. Allman contributed expansive, emotionally fraught compositions like “Dreams” and “Whipping Post” to the Allman Brothers repertoire. Both songs became staples of their epic live shows; a cathartic 22-minute version of “Whipping Post” was a highlight of their acclaimed 1971 live album, “At Fillmore East.”<br />
<br />
More concise originals like “Midnight Rider” and “Melissa,” as well as Mr. Allman’s renditions of blues classics like “Statesboro Blues” and “Done Somebody Wrong,” revealed his singular affinity with the black Southern musical vernacular.<br />
<br />
Mr. Allman also enjoyed an enduring, if intermittent, career as a solo artist, both while a member of the Allman Brothers Band and during periods when he was away from the group. His recordings under his own name were typically more subdued, more akin to soulful singer-songwriter rock, than his molten performances with the Allmans.<br />
<br />
A remake of “Midnight Rider” from “Laid Back,” his first solo album, reached the pop Top 20 in 1973. “Laid Back” also featured a cover of “These Days,” an elegiac ballad written by Jackson Browne, who on occasion roomed with Mr. Allman while he was living in Los Angeles in the 1960s.</div>

The Friday the 13th: The Game's Kickstarter page addresses a series of questions facing today's players. Regarding the problem of the steam server, he said, "We are currently being beaten by thousands and thousands of players and our server down. The server should go, but there is the possibility to meet downtime when we find your request.If more server and loaddreh server can find a server error, try bermainkan game with staff If you need friends to find a player, go to the Steam forums other Friday, the 13th fans of the game. "<br />
<br />
It also noted specifically that there was more server online in Europe and Australia was brought to meet demand in the region. Similarly, the server that keeps players progress is updated so that your level may not be displayed properly at the end.<br />
<br />
Friday the 13th: The Game launches today on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. At least for those playing on PC, it has not been an entirely smooth debut.<br />
<br />
In addition to problems with the party system, numerous players are reporting difficulty getting online--a serious problem for a multiplayer-only game. Most of these issues seem to stem from a "database game failure" error. There are numerous threads on Reddit and the official Steam forums with complaints about this; one in particular has racked up more than 800 comments in about two hours' time.<br />
<br />
The game's official Twitter account has acknowledged the problems and attributed them to a huge influx of players. Despite some indications that fixes were rolling out, the issues appear to be persisting this afternoon.<br />
<br />
One of its most recent tweets states, "We are looking into why this keeps occurring, but it comes down to so many users...which is a weird problem to have."<br />
<br />
These problems are not impacting everyone, and some players are having success playing. Whether you'll be one of the lucky ones appears to be a crapshoot.<br />
