Liverpool teachers retire after 67 years at same school
Three teachers who have notched up 67 years in the classroom at the same school in Liverpool are set to Jeremy Barnes, deputy head Joan Maguire and higher level teaching assistant Clair Fealey all described working at All Saints Catholic Primary School in Anfield as "an absolute joy".Ms Maguire, who has taught at the school for 15 years, said she felt "really sad" to be leaving, adding: "I've had such a wonderful time here. "It's been a privilege to serve the children here and the community of Anfield but I do know I'm leaving the school in really good hands and I know it will go on from strength to strength," she added. She said all the staff "look out for one another and we go that extra mile both for our pupils and for our staff" and she would take away with her "the joy and the laughter of being here".Mr Barnes said the school had "gone from strength to strength" and it was "an absolute haven". "I think the Ofsted team in March used that word, haven - a place of absolute joy - and it's a pleasure to be here," he Barnes said he had met past pupils over the last few days and what struck him was the fact they were "doing wonderful things, flourishing in their lives and in their careers, and that has made me so happy".He said he was now planning to work part-time for the Pope Francis Catholic Multi Academy Trust, alongside inspection work and some Fealey, who has been at the school for 33 years, said her abiding memory of her time there would be "the community spirit amongst the staff and children."I think it's second to none."

Major foreign automaker risks Trump's wrath as it blames tariffs for skyrocketing prices
It's getting more expensive to drive a new car off the lot. Mitsubishi Motors said Tuesday it would raise prices across its US lineup by an average of 2.1 percent. It joins a growing list of automakers responding to vehicle import tariffs with higher sticker prices. The decision follows President Donald Trump's decision to launch 25 percent tariffs on imported cars from most countries, including Japan and Thailand, where Mitsubishi builds much of its lineup. In April, shortly after Trump's announcement, Mitsubishi suspended deliveries from US ports while assessing how to respond. Deliveries resumed last week. The Outlander, Mitsubishi's best-selling SUV, currently costs around $35,000. After the adjustment, drivers can expect to slap on an additional $700 to the sticker price. '[The increase] is based on our most recent evaluation across the industry,' Jeremy Barnes, a spokesperson for the company, told 'There will be no adjustments to vehicles already in dealer inventory.' Mitsubishi's price hikes land just months after it announced the end of Mirage production, retiring the longtime holder of America's cheapest new car title. Despite the shake-up, the automaker has shown signs of growth. Mitsubishi's 2024 sales jumped 26 percent to more than 110,000 units, its best US performance since 2019. Sales climbed another eleven percent during the first quarter of 2025. But now, it's joining a growing list of automakers who say their hand was forced into spiking prices. Subaru raised prices last month by up to $2,055 on certain trims. Ford hiked pricing on three Mexico-built models in May by as much as $2,000. BMW issued guidance to dealers outlining a two percent price increase on 2026 gas-powered vehicles. '[Business is] not sustainable longer term without significant price increases,' Mark Templin, Toyota's chief operating officer for North America, recently said. 'And the industry already has an affordability problem.' The tariffs create pricing headaches for automakers. The tax hits when a vehicle enters the US, often weeks or months before it reaches a buyer. The mid-size Outlander SUV was last year's best-seller for the brand Katsuya Nakanishi, Mitsubishi's CEO, took over as the top boss in 2022 That means carmakers must absorb the added cost without knowing whether the car will sell. Executives at this year's New York International Auto Show said the unpredictability of the tariff regime makes it nearly impossible to build pricing into long-term product planning. Independent analysts have also warned the tariffs could drive up prices for both new and used cars by thousands of dollars. Higher prices are also expected to push insurance premiums even higher. The average price of a new car in the US hit $49,000 last month — a $12,000 jump since 2019. Average monthly payments have climbed to $700, driven largely by pandemic-era supply shortages and a now increasing parts availability problem. In April, China retaliated against Trump's trade policy by halting exports of rare earth magnets, a key material in electric motors. Ford CEO Jim Farley said the trade throttling forced the company to temporarily suspend some US vehicle production. 'This could result in lower sales and could be similar to the chip shortage,' Seth Goldstein, an automotive industry analyst at Morningstar, told

How Pete Alonso took his game planning to a new level: ‘Knowledge is power'
DENVER — Behind Pete Alonso's impressive offensive numbers this season is a serious improvement in game planning. 'He has taken that to the next level,' New York Mets co-hitting coach Jeremy Barnes said. That is because Alonso arrives at the ballpark more prepared than ever. For the first time in his seven-year career, Alonso is using external help to assist him with research, digest data and create personal plans against pitchers. The information comes from people affiliated with his agent, Scott Boras, and from people at his Tampa-based workout group, Diesel Optimization, among others. He explained it as something like a front office just for him. Alonso's ability to take information from a variety of sources speaks to his adaptiveness and growing intellect about his offensive game. PETE CAN'T STOP! ALL-STAR 🗳️👉 — New York Mets (@Mets) June 8, 2025 It's up to him to put what he learns into practice. And he continues to do just that in what's shaping up as his best season to date. In the Mets' 13-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, Alonso went 3-for-6 with a pair of two-run home runs. He passed David Wright for second on the Mets' all-time list with 243 home runs. Only Darryl Strawberry (252) has hit more wearing a Mets uniform. Advertisement 'I'm just trying to look at everything I possibly can in-depth,' Alonso told The Athletic while discussing his new study sessions. 'And not just look at it. But really try to think and apply. 'It's not like an idea — I have a great picture. Every day, the whole thing is, I'm going to paint a picture of what it is going to look like coming at the plate.' While many players enlist the help of personal hitting or swing coaches, it is less common for a position player to consult with people outside the club for game planning purposes. It does happen, however. Every day before he leaves for the ballpark, Alonso goes over how pitchers may plan to attack him and what to look for in certain counts and situations. This work supplements the preparation Alonso does with the Mets. As a team, the Mets hold a daily hitters' meeting to go over approaches for that day's starting pitcher and other topics. 'It's big time,' Alonso said. 'It's been a tremendous help. Knowledge is power.' Alonso's terrific numbers (17 home runs, .301/.396/.594 slash line) through the Mets' first 66 games are a culmination of a few major improvements, including the heightened focus on game planning. As The Athletic previously detailed, Alonso wanted a better understanding of his inconsistencies in 2023 and 2024. That desire led to a deep dive into mechanics. Put simply, he is now in a better position to hit and discern what pitches he should swing at and which he should leave alone. 'He's as complete a hitter right now as I've ever seen him,' Barnes said. Hitting the books comes first, though. 'He's done his homework well before we've pumped out any information that we need to pump out,' Barnes said. 'To me, it's just him taking ownership in it a little bit more. 'He realizes how important it is. Before, he knew it was important, but he didn't have his identity. He didn't figure out how he wanted to do it. He's figured out what he needs to do now.' Advertisement Alonso is willing to pass along what he learns, too. He is vocal in the Mets' hitters' meetings. In the past, he always spoke up. But now, he is armed with sharper insight. 'This isn't a knock on Pete of the past, but when he speaks up, I find myself thinking, 'Wow. That's good. That's good information,'' Barnes said. 'Whereas before, he would say something, and you'd just laugh and say, well, that's Pete; sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. But he's on point this year. The lens that he is viewing the game through right now is high quality.' Over the weekend, the Rockies changed their probable starters a couple of times on short notice. Despite that, Alonso still managed to share a couple of pointers regarding the unexpected starters. 'Just from a veteran aspect, let's say even if I haven't faced a guy before, I can provide maybe a little bit of a nugget of information here and there,' Alonso said. 'For example, if I struggled that day or whatever, if I provide that information, maybe it helps somebody else. Before, it was like, OK, I can only really give little tidbits and things like that on guys I've faced before. Now, it's different.' Alonso's teammates see and hear the difference, too. Brandon Nimmo said he has spotted Alonso on plane rides watching extra video. Nimmo likened Alonso's prep work to a teacher working toward obtaining a master's degree. 'Even just outside of the planning that way we do, he has invested in himself and gotten outside help as well, and that's great,' Nimmo said. 'It's definitely a change. It's definitely made a difference. I don't know how much because he's worked on so many different things, but (it's delivering) the result you're seeing. He has really buckled down, and it's paying off.' Alonso, who can opt out and become a free agent after the season, may end up cashing in this offseason with a larger deal than the two-year, $54 million pact he signed to stick with the Mets just before spring training. Advertisement His ability to minimize a recent slump jumps out as another indicator of how different he is in 2025. Over a 15-game stretch from May 6 to May 23, he went 9-for-59 (.153 batting average) with 25 strikeouts and just four walks. In recent years, he was susceptible to prolonged cold streaks. Not now. Over his last 15 games, Alonso is 21-for-58 (.362 batting average) with eight home runs. The extra pre-game work comes in handy especially when diagnosing what pitchers are doing to him and how to combat their plan. 'It's trusting it, trusting that everything in the preparation is going to show up,' Alonso said. 'Mike Tyson said it. 'Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.' But in baseball, it's having that confidence, that assurance it will show up sometime in the game. Sometimes you have to weather it a little bit and stick with it, but I am trying to stay as diligent as possible. I just want to keep finding new levels to help me perform.'
