A number of Premier League stars have joined forces to create an initiative called #PlayersTogether which aims to raise funds for NHS charities during the coronavirus pandemic. Top-flight professionals have come under fire after some clubs placed non-playing staff on the Governments furlough scheme, with health secretary Matt Hancock last week calling for Premier League players to take a pay cut. Premier League clubs proposed wage cuts of around 30 per cent to ease the financial burden caused by the crisis but talks over the weekend with the Professional Footballers Association and the League Managers Association failed to reach a resolution. #PlayersTogetherpic.twitter.com/e7uWYIOhL2 Jordan Henderson (@JHenderson) April 8, 2020 However, a statement posted by a number of Premier Leagu...

Turns out millennials have been sitting on an abundance of savings and they are using that to aggressively buy the coronavirus dip

Barry Schwartz spent most of March trying to talk his clients off of two distinct ledges. A typical hour might have seen the chief investment officer at Baskin Wealth Management try to convince an emotional retiree to not panic and cash out, before having to pivot and  temper the bet-it-all instincts of a millennial client with $50,000 burning a hole in their pocket. While the former was not unexpected for the wealth management veteran, the latter was something new. And it wasn’t just one or two millennials under his care wanting to buy the dip after stocks plunged 30 per cent — it was all of them. The millennial generation may have a lousy reputation as investors, but they’ve played this stock market swoon better than their baby boomer rivals, Schwartz admits. Certainly I learned a les...

In the space of nine overs, Zimbabwe lost four wickets for 19 runs © AFP/Getty Images From June 1999 to February 2004, Bangladesh had racked up some unwanted records - most consecutive defeats in international cricket, which included most consecutive Test defeats, the longest winless streak in that format, and the most consecutive ODI defeats. Now under a new captain, Bangladesh were hoping for better days. Habibul Bashar, Bangladesh captain: The Zimbabwe team was far ahead of us in those days, that too in their conditions. We had already lost the Test series. I made a pair in my first Test as captain. While we waited for the rain to stop in Bulawayo [where the first two ODIs had to be abandoned], coach Dav Whatmore w...

This week, we relive the glorious one-day triumphs of Lancashire in the 1990s | ESPNcricinfo.com

With still no live cricket in sight, we're digging deep into YouTube to keep ourselves entertained. This week, a trip down memory lane with one of the most dominant one-day sides ever - Lancashire in the 1990s. Wasim Akram too quickWasim Akram forged one of the great overseas careers with Lancashire. In the 1990 Benson & Hedges Cup final at Lord's, he produced a blistering new-ball spell that put the county on course for a comfortable victory against Worcestershire. Akram had already played his part with the bat as he clubbed 28 off 21 balls in a strong performance from Lancashire's lower order (that was a feature of their side, as you will see). Akram was usually held back from the new ball - Lancashire's one-day bowling options were tremendously deep - and on this day he came on as...

The hit might sound familiar to Australian fans…

As you might already know, Billie Eilish had a very successful night at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, picking up Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. However, what you might not know is that her award-winning hit Bad Guy has a rather unusual sample, in the form of an Aussie pedestrian crossing. The 18-year-old was in Sydney where she heard the pedestrian crossing and was so pleased with the sound she recorded it on a voicenote on her phone. She told Rolling Stone: "My mum and I went for a walk in Sydney. We were like across the street from the hotel and the crosswalk is this little - you press it and it's like 'doop, doop'. And I was like, 'That's hard!' That's the sound that it makes when you have to wait." Her brother Finneas O'Connell then it...

On the frontlines of opioid addiction with Beth Macy: podcast and transcript

clapford

02/05/2020

This is an intimate portrait of what addiction looks like in America. From the board rooms of pharmaceutical companies to the living rooms across America, Beth Macy traces the path of devastation wrought by opioids. Her latest book, Dopesick gives life to the urgency of the epidemic, illustrating just how woefully insufficient the national response has been to the scale of the crisis. She lays out the often-insurmountable barriers that stand between someone suffering and the treatment they need, and why stigma may be the biggest obstacle of them all. CHRIS HAYES: The story here is really... the most cartoonish version also seems not that far from being the accurate one, which is big, pharmaceutical interests essentially corruptly rigged a system to jack up their profits by essentially d...
