lassic cars can be beautiful. But they can
also be daunting, a reality that newcomer
Kindred Motorworks aims to overcome by
modernizing the processes that transforms derelicts
into attractive, reliable objects of rolling automotive
art.
According to CEO and founder Rob Howard, the Cal-
ifornia Bay Area-based company “spent a lot of time visiting
hundreds of local shops and identifying everything we needed to elim-
inate all their inefficiencies.” With that goal in mind, they formulated
a “Blueprint” technology that they say “maps each car’s genome and
underpins every subsequent process, from parts sourcing to procure-
ment to final assembly.” VP of Technology Troy Eastlack says the
process includes documenting everything from specifications
to parts and tools.
If the looks of their builds are any indication, these
custom creations are aimed at the same strata of
buyers who might cross-shop high-end options like
a Ford Mustang from Revology, a Mercedes-Benz
Gelaendewagen from Expedition Motor Company,
or a Land Rover Defender from any number of cus-
tom outfits.
Kindred launches with three iconic classics: old school Chevrolet
Camaros ($149,000 for LS3 power, $199,000 with an LT), first-gen
Ford Broncos ($169,000), and Volkswagen Buses ($199,000), the
latter available with a Tesla-sourced EV powertrain good for 200 miles
of range. The company says electrification will spread to other models

FDA Recommends
Repeated at-home
COVID Tests After
False Negatives
Yahoo News / LAURA RAMIREZ-FELDMAN
O
n the same day that the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention eased COVID-19 guidelines, the Food and
Drug Administration issued a statement warning that at-
home rapid antigen tests can deliver false negative results and
people who need tests should plan to do so more than once to
make sure they are not “unknowingly spreading the SARS-CoV-
2 virus to others.”
Health experts recommend tests for people who have been ex-
posed to the virus or are experiencing symptoms.
“Today’s recommendations are based on the latest study results
from people with likely Omicron infection showing that repeat
testing after a negative at-home COVID-19 antigen test result in-
creases the chance of an accurate result,” the FDA said, via safety
communication released on Thursday.
Previously, the FDA had advised people to conduct two rapid
antigen tests over two or three days to rule out infection.
These recommendations, the FDA said, are based on data from
a comprehensive study conducted in collaboration with the Na-
tional Institutes of Health (NIH) and the University of Massachu-
setts Chan Medical School, which showed that this method of
testing repeatedly reduced the risk of negative results. The study
is said to have included more than 7,000 participants.
In the warning, the agency said that antigen tests, also known
as COVID-19 at-home tests, are less accurate than molecular
tests, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests. This means
that taking an at-home test too early, after being exposed to
COVID-19 could lead to a false-negative result, particularly if a
person has no symptoms.
The FDA now advises that people who plan to use at-home
tests get several of them so they can test more than once. For
people with COVID-19 symptoms who test at home and receive

If you have any unused laptops at home, consider trading them in for cash on sites
like Decluttr and Gazelle. The value of your unused tech will depend on the model,
year and condition. Many households have $400 to $800 worth of cash in the form
of unused laptop computers, said Michele Perry, a consumer tech expert at Gazelle.

as the far-left network investigated his involvement in helping his brother, have watched it.”
Maher later brought up how CNN made a shift to being
more opinion-based across the board during the Trump pres-
idency, to which Cuomo responded by claiming that it was
not “a move to opinion.”
“I think that is addressing the need of serving people’s in-
terests,” he said. “We were faced with something that the
media has never seen in this country before, where somebody
weaponized the truth, and won pretty much every fight he got
into, by ultimately blaming a system that people have re-
jected, including the media. And unprecedented risk is going
to require an unprecedented effort. I don’t think it was about
moving to opinion, meaning not relying on facts and analysis.
But they had to take it on; I felt very much that way.”
Cuomo portrayed himself as some kind of a crusader for
truth against the Trump administration, adding: “And it was
rough. It is still rough for me to be seen as like an enemy of
the former president, which is nonsense.”
During another point in the interview, Cuomo defended the
nonsense that happens on cable news by blaming the viewers,
saying, “You can’t expect the men and women in the media
to not play a game that everybody else is playing.”

hen an actor plays a role, he or she does everything in their power to really get
into it, to feel as that person would feel, and to portray those feelings on the film.
But what happens when an actor lands a role based on a real person?
Capote (2005)
Truman Capote was an American playwright and novelist responsible for creating a
number of literary classics. Perhaps one of his most famous pieces is the 1958 novella,
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which would become the basis of the legendary film starring Audrey
Hepburn. Capote's early writing extended the Southern Gothic genre. His works such as
"In Cold Blood" and "Breakfast at Tiffany "have been hugely influential in American lit-
erature.
Capote follows the writer, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, through his work on
another piece, Cold Blood. The film was released in 2005 on Capote’s birthday and won a
number of awards and nominations. Hoffman won over a dozen awards for his performance
in the film alone, including the Oscar for Best Actor.
