First-quarter earnings season picks up steam this week, with analysts expecting that profits for S&P 500 companies rose roughly 27% in the three months through March, compared with a year earlier, when the pandemic sent corporate earnings into a tailspin.
Companies such as Netflix, AT&T and American Express are all slated to issue results this week, offering a relatively well-rounded look at the state of corporate America in the early days of what could be a powerful year for the U.S. economy. It might also help set expectations for the stock market, after a big rally already this year.

Authors, cooks, and advocates of a plant-based lifestyle.
Everyone loves a great Anzac bikkie and these ones are even better because they are made with whole, unprocessed everyday pantry staple ingredients. If you are struggling to find certain ingredients, you can, of course, easily swap the ingredients listed for something else more tradtional ie plain flour instead of spelt flour, butter instead of coconut oil and brown sugar instead of coconut sugar. But this version is particularly rewarding!
Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 180C and line baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.

Seeking to salve an old wound at a time of sorrow for Britain’s royal family, the political leader of the Irish republican movement apologized Sunday for the 1979 assassination of Louis Mountbatten, an uncle of Prince Philip.
Mary Lou McDonald, the leader of Sinn Fein, which was once the political wing of the underground Irish Republican Army, told a London radio station, “Of course, I am sorry that happened; of course, that is heartbreaking.”
McDonald offered the landmark apology a day after Queen Elizabeth II buried her husband, Philip, in a ceremony at Windsor Castle that paid tribute to his military career. His uncle Lord Mountbatten, a celebrated commander during World War II who later served as the last viceroy of India, overseeing its partition and transition to independence, was killed after a bomb exploded on his fishing boat off the coast of Ireland.
