In an April 9 Instagram post, Charmin announced that the four crew members of Artemis II will be provided with a year’s supply of toilet paper upon their return to Earth.

“Dear Moon Explorer Crew… We’re sorry to hear that your mission had an unexpected hiccup in the bathroom department.

After all, every satellite deserves to Enjoy the Go,” the Instagram post reads.

The Artemis II crew, consisting of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, launched on the Orion spacecraft from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 1. The crew traveled further from Earth than any other human race.

The Orion capsule is scheduled to land in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California, on April 10 at approximately 8:07 p.m. ET.

The Postal Service told the Office of Personnel Management that the Postal Service Board of Governors has chosen to temporarily suspend contributions to the Federal Employees’ Retirement System “to conserve cash and maintain liquidity due to the ongoing severe financial crisis,” the agency announced in a Thursday, April 9, news release.

The USPS typically pays about $200 million biweekly to OPM in employer contributions to Federal Employees’ Retirement System pensions, the agency said. The suspension of these payments from Friday, April 10 will result in approximately $2.5 billion being free for the current fiscal year, the agency added.

Employee contributions to the retirement plan will continue, and the USPS will continue to pay employers automatic and matching contributions and employee contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan. Other payments, such as Social Security, will also continue, the agency said.

Here’s what to expect during your annual termite inspection this spring.

What is a termite inspection?

A spring termite inspection can help you discover and prevent termite infestations. Scheduling a spring termite inspection allows our experts to spot potential risk areas and address them before termites become infested.

“A spring termite inspection is performed by a qualified pest control professional who visually inspects the interior and exterior of your home, checking every nook and cranny for signs of termite activity,” says Dr. Jim Fredericks, a certified entomologist and senior vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). “We also use specialized tools such as moisture meters to check for invisible signs.”

Even though many economists acknowledged a “price crisis” and a “K-shaped economy” benefiting the super-wealthy, analysts were fixated on a more traditional measure of success: that aggregate wages across the economy were not too far below aggregate inflation.

As recently as summer, a Bankrate report predicted that the gap between wages and inflation would finally narrow in 2026, after rising by 4.8 percentage points in 2022.

The employment downturn and, more recently, the Iran war have shut down that speculation.

“We’re not going to see a significant acceleration in wage growth,” Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate, told USA TODAY. “But inflation will accelerate.”

Customers must have a prescription to order Lilly weight loss pills through Amazon Pharmacy. Amazon officials told Reuters that same-day delivery will be available to about half of its U.S. customers. All customers will receive their medication within 4 days.

Lilly previously said that consumers whose insurance doesn’t cover weight-loss drugs can buy Foundayo for $149 for a minimum one-month dose and up to $349 for additional monthly doses. Higher doses under Foundayo’s co-pay program start at $299 to $349 for a one-month prescription.

Lilly and Amazon say people with insurance that covers GLP-1 weight loss drugs could pay as little as $25 a month.

If your spouse decides to enroll before you, you should know how that will affect your future benefits. That way, you can estimate how much you’ll have to pay for your retirement yourself. The answer depends on what kind of benefits you plan to earn in the long term.

Does not affect social security benefits

When your spouse first enrolls in Social Security, he or she will receive the retirement benefits he or she received based on his or her work history. This depends on how much Social Security payroll taxes you paid over your career and your age when you enrolled.
