Spike Lee and Denzel Washington are reportedly teaming up for the fifth time to reimagine Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 crime drama High And Low.The pair, whose previous projects include Malcolm X, He Got Game and Inside Man, will begin filming the adaptation in March.

Expert shares how to slash energy bills by putting washing machine on during two-hour window
21.01.2024 - 15:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Due to many of us having busy schedules such as taking the kids to school and going to work, we often get into a routine.
And it's no different when it comes to chores with many of us doing the dishes straight after dinner or the washing during our lunch breaks if we're working from home.
But making changes to when you do certain tasks could save you money in the long run. And according to experts, making simple changes can also help your washing machine last longer.
Les Roberts, content manager at Bionic said that one way to cut down on costs when using a washing machine is to check its efficiency. He explained: "The energy rating should be printed on the energy label of your washing machine device and will be ranked from G-A with A being the most efficient model.
“The more efficient models cut the KwH used per cycle significantly, so running costs will be much lower. Generally speaking, older machines tend to be less energy efficient, so it might be worth upgrading if you've had your washer for more than 10 years.”
According to the Express, depending on which tariff you're on, using the machine at certain times of the day could be cheaper. According to the expert, this is if you are on a time of use or off-peak tariff.
The price of energy will be lower at times when the grid is under less pressure and demand is at its lowest. Les said this tends to fall between 8pm-10pm.
The pro added: “Costs can sometimes be 50 percent lower during these hours so it can definitely be worth doing your load overnight and taking advantage of these off peak prices.”
David Palmer, LG’s Senior Product Specialist of Home Appliances, said: “Washing machines are more energy efficient when performing at lower temperatures for longer durations.
