Cathay Pacific to cut flights from mid-May to end-June as jet fuel prices surge

Cathay Pacific to cut flights from mid-May to end-June as jet fuel prices surge

Published by Sam Flores

Last month, Cathay’s CEO Ronald Lam said the Hong Kong-based airline would press ahead with plans to expand passenger capacity by 10 per cent this year, pointing to strong demand for long-haul flights to North America, Europe and Australia after the Iran war cut traffic through the Middle East. Beyond June, Cathay Pacific and HK Express plan to operate all their scheduled passenger flights, Cathay said in the statement. US President Donald Trump’s two-week ceasefire with Iran is unlikely to bring quick relief to the global aviation industry, executives said this week. Industry officials warned that jet fuel supplies will remain tight and costly for months, even if Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz. Source link

DeChambeau misses Masters cut after closing triple-bogey

DeChambeau misses Masters cut after closing triple-bogey

Published by Sam Flores

AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 10 : LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau headlined the list of players who missed the cut at the Masters on Friday after the two-times U.S. Open champion carded a costly triple-bogey on the final hole at Augusta National. DeChambeau reached the par-four 18th one shot inside the four-over par cut line but needed two shots to get out of a greenside bunker before carding a seven that ended his week. DeChambeau, who briefly held the lead early in the final round of last year’s Masters, had arrived at the year’s first major fresh off two consecutive wins on the LIV Golf circuit but was unable to transfer that form to Augusta National. Other notables to miss the cut were 2025 U.S. Open winner J.J. Spaun, former British Open champion Cameron Smith of LIV, and a pack of former Masters champions including Danny Willett Bubba Watson, Zach Johnson, Fred Couples, Jose Maria Olazabal, Mike Weir, Vijay Singh, and Angel Cabrera. According to Augusta National, 54 players, including competitors from 15 different countries, made the …

Robert MacIntyre Has Awkward Masters Exit After a Middle-Finger Moment, Missed Cut and No Interviews

Robert MacIntyre Has Awkward Masters Exit After a Middle-Finger Moment, Missed Cut and No Interviews

Published by Sam Flores

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Robert MacIntyre made no public apologies for his fiery behavior at the Masters this week, breezing past reporters after his first-round 80 and then declining interview requests after a 71 on Friday that caused him to miss the cut. The 29-year-old MacIntyre, who tied for second last week at the Texas Open, raised some eyebrows Thursday at Augusta National — where decorum is held in high esteem — when he flashed the middle finger upon hitting a ball into the water. MacIntyre also slammed a couple of clubs and muttered some curse words loud enough to be caught live by the TV mics. It was unclear whether Augusta National took any disciplinary action. MacIntyre finished at 7 over, missing the cut by three shots, and headed straight to the Player Services Building. At one point, someone posted to his Instagram story what appeared to be an AI-produced image of a Masters gnome in his likeness giving the bird. Whoever it was had a sense of humor about things. He was 3 …

Buy bread in the evening, hit the sales on a Tuesday: retail workers’ top tips to cut your shopping bill | Life and style

From supermarkets’ yellow-stickered items to apps for free food, there are many ways to lower your shopping bill amid the cost of living crisis. Retail workers share their insider info on how to save money at grocery stores, street markets and charity shops. Be savvy about store discounts Alasdair Baker from Aldershot runs The Penny Pincher, a site dedicated to helping people save money on their bills, which he started 12 years ago when he went bankrupt and “discovered yellow-sticker shopping”. Then, during Covid, Baker was furloughed from his job working for a bathroom supplier and went to work for Morrisons. It was, he says, “a massive eye-opener. I got to see the things I wrote about on my website.” He gained a greater understanding of food distribution, food wastage and food poverty: “All the sort of stuff that you don’t really think about as you push a trolley around.” Part of his job was to check the dates on products and reduce the price of those that were about to expire using yellow discount …

The hit Prime series returned for a second outing last month, with 10 comedians – including last year’s champion, Bob Mortimer – entering the studio and attempting to make it through the day without laughing. Gledhill was one of the newer faces among them, and in an appearance on co-star Alan Carr’s Life’s A Beach podcast, she admitted that a scene which she considered to be one of her funniest moments didn’t make the final edit. The 38-year-old explained: “The thing that I did that I thought might have been funny hasn’t made it into the show because it was too mucky. Me and Sam [Campbell] did an improv in the bed.” …

Kevin Plank’s Unsellable Thoroughbred Race Farm Sees Another Deep Price Cut

Kevin Plank’s Unsellable Thoroughbred Race Farm Sees Another Deep Price Cut

Published by Jenni Sidey

Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank has once again cut the asking price on his massive thoroughbred racing farm in northern Baltimore County, Maryland, as the historic farm – once owned by the Vanderbilt family – continues to sit on the market amid a series of deep price cuts. Plank has been winding down his sprawling real estate portfolio, offloading everything from multiple residential properties to a luxury hotel in Baltimore City in recent years. Among his crown jewels – alongside the Baltimore Peninsula – is Sagamore Farm, a 404-acre thoroughbred racing operation he has been trying to sell for years. The latest data from multiple listing service provider MLS Bright shows that Plank likely instructed his listing agent, Christina Giffin of Monument Sotheby’s International Realty, to pursue another price cut. MLS Bright data shows Sagamore’s current listing price is around $16.5 million. This represents a 15% cut from the late-2025 listing of $18.5 million and an overall decline of about 25% from the original $22 million listing in March 2025. The farm appears to have …

Why Jaden Ivey Was Cut

Why Jaden Ivey Was Cut

Published by José Betancourt

Jaden Ivey started by thanking God. His thumbs were visible in the camera lens as he adjusted his phone while driving. A clear blue sky was visible through his sunroof. “Blessed morning,” he said, in a hushed tone, to the followers who’d tuned in to his Instagram livestream. “The Lord is gracious. Faithful.” It hardly seemed like a conversation that would lead to him losing his job in the NBA. But after thanking God, Ivey quickly struck a different tone. He talked about how ESPN pundits were allowed to freely give their opinions about basketball and judge players without incident. “Do we not have free will to speak what we please?” he said, referring to the players themselves. Over the next 40 minutes, Ivey certainly didn’t have a problem speaking freely. He proclaimed that Christians were penalized for speaking righteousness while those in the LGBTQ community were celebrated for exhibiting “unrighteousness”; he used NBA teams hosting Pride nights as an example. This was part of a particularly verbose period: In another livestream recorded later that …

Sony Pictures Entertainment to cut hundreds of film and TV jobs

Published by Sam Flores

Sony Pictures Entertainment plans to lay off a few hundred employees globally in a move to restructure its business. The cuts, announced Tuesday afternoon, are set to affect employees who work across Sony’s film, TV and corporate divisions, the company said, declining to specify how many would lose their jobs. Sony said the cuts reflect a shift in business strategy under its new chief executive, Ravi Ahuja. “As we lean into those priorities, we need to operate with greater focus, speed, and alignment to strengthen our differentiated capabilities,” Ahuja said in a statement. “To support our growth, we are aligning our organization with where the business is going — not where it has been. That requires changes to how we are structured and where we invest.” Ahuja, who was promoted just over a year ago, added that the company is ”reducing roles in certain areas while increasing focus and investment in others that are most critical to our future.” Sony plans to focus on franchise strategy and brand extension with game shows, as well as …
